Vanilla Ice Bought Eddie Guerrero’s Famous Low Rider For Insanely Low Price

WWE history is full of incredible artifacts, and some of them have hit the open market. Of course, WWE has their legendary warehouse, but they didn’t have Eddie Guerrero’s low rider, because that is now property of Vanilla Ice.

Eddie Guerrero’s Low Rider Has A New Owner

One of Eddie Guerrero’s low riders, previously showcased on WWE television, has been acquired by Vanilla Ice. Of course, the famous one-hit wonder rapper was very happy to show off this item.

Vanilla Ice revealed in a video on his YouTube channel that he acquired the vehicle for $15,000 from someone who seemingly underestimated its value, unaware of its connection to Eddie Guerrero. 

Ice speculated that the seller may not have realized the potential six-figure worth of the car. He also mentioned that the seller had already invested $30,000 in improvements. In the video, Ice showcased the car, complete with a custom Eddie Guerrero WWE Championship. Obviously, he knew the connection to pro wrestling history, and he wants to make sure that the low-rider is in good hands.

The ownership history of the car remains uncertain, but Ice apparently has the real McCoy. When low riders were featured in Eddie’s entrances on television, WWE typically rented them from local car dealers in each city. Additionally, the specific car was featured in a photoshoot for Low Rider Magazine, with Eddie posing alongside it. So, it got special attention from Latino Heat.

Eddie Guerrero and His Low Riders

Eddie Guerrero frequently incorporated low riders into his persona and entrances. These customized vehicles, known for their lowered bodies and unique features, added flair and authenticity to Guerrero’s character. Notably, a Chevrolet Impala was often seen as his preferred low rider during his time in WWE, becoming iconic among fans. 

Beyond wrestling, Guerrero was known to have a genuine passion for low riders, collecting and enjoying them as a reflection of his cultural identity and personal interests. His association with these custom cars remains a cherished aspect of his legacy in both wrestling and automotive enthusiast circles. Now, Vanilla Ice has a piece of that history himself.

AEW Star Cash Wheeler Faces Trial for Alleged Firearm Assault

Cash Wheeler is facing the consequences of his gun charge as the prosecutor moves forward with legal proceedings. Now, he is headed to court as prosecutors have opted to pursue the case.

Cash Wheeler Going To Trial

Daniel Wheeler, also known as Cash Wheeler, faces one count of aggravated assault with a firearm following his arrest in 2023. A warrant for his arrest was issued on July 28, the day after the incident occurred on July 27. 

The FTR member already asserted his innocence through his attorney during his initial court appearance on August 3. All firearms belonging to Wheeler were mandated to be surrendered to the local sheriff’s department until the resolution of the case.

During a road rage incident, Wheeler purportedly brandished a firearm. His attorney emphasized that the altercation was not of a domestic nature and that Wheeler was not acquainted with the individuals involved. The charge against him is classified as a third-degree felony in Florida.

According to court documents obtained by PW Insider, Wheeler was absent from his arraignment today. The trial is scheduled to commence on May 20th, with pre-trial proceedings set for May 7th, where Wheeler has been directed to attend.

What Happened During This Incident

On July 27, 2023, Orange County in Florida issued an incident report. Officer M. Bowhay arrived at the scene of an aggravated assault involving a firearm and interviewed the victim, Daniel Matta.

Matta claimed that Wheeler aimed a gun at him while both were driving on Interstate 4. After positively identifying Wheeler from a photo lineup, Matta’s statement resulted in the charge of aggravated assault with a firearm against Wheeler.

SEScoops is sending out our best for Cash Wheeler at this time. Hopefully, he can get this matter taken care of.

WWE 2K24 Teaser Video Hints at Return of Fan-Favorite Feature

WWE fans expect a yearly video game at this point, and WWE 2K24 is not disappointing when it comes to the hype so far. We are getting more information about the game as the weeks tick down until the latest offering from 2k drops, and this will also include the return of a much-requested feature.

WWE 2K24 Bringing Back Fan-Favorite Feature

2k dropped a new teaser video today that said a lot. The short hype video included several tweets from WWE fans, begging them to bring back the special guest referee feature. Then they cut to a striped shirt Randy Orton delivering an RKO outta nowhere as a referee.

The post on Twitter/X also included a caption that simply said: “Master of the rules.” This post has already caused a stir with fans who missed the ability to play as a referee in their 2k video game experience.

Other WWE 2K24 News

Songs from the upcoming WWE 2K24 soundtrack have already been released, and it has an impressive lineup. The hype is certainly there, and it appears that the 2k team is listening to fans as well, so we’ll have to see if they add any other lost features down the line.

WWE 2K24 Release Details

WWE 2K24 will offer three editions: Deluxe, Forty Years of WrestleMania, and Standard. These editions will roll out globally on March 8, 2024. Keep an eye out for updates on the game’s soundtrack, roster, Superstar ratings, and other details.

Stay tuned to SE Scoops for ongoing coverage of WWE 2K24 and all the latest in the world of professional wrestling.

WWE Injury Update: Shotzi Blackheart Is Heading For Surgery

WWE’s NXT brand saw Shotzi return for a match against Lyra Valkyria, and that did not end well at all. The WWE Superstar was injured, and she suffered a serious knee injury. Now, she is going under the knife to repair the damage. That match will air tonight, Feb 20th, on the USA Network’s weekly show.

Shotzi Blackheart’s Injury

The injury for Shotzi prompted WWE to alter plans, as she was originally scheduled to compete in an Elimination Chamber Qualifying match against Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown. For what it’s worth, it was always the plan to have Stratton in the Chamber match.

According to PW Insider, reports circulating at Monday Night Raw suggested that Shotzi had traveled to Birmingham, Alabama, possibly for knee surgery. WWE often sends injured wrestlers to Birmingham for surgical procedures.

The word making the rounds at yesterday’s Monday Night Raw taping was that Shotzi was in Birmingham, Alabama ahead of a possible (likely) knee surgery after getting hurt on the WWE NXT episode that will air tonight.

What’s Next

Shotzi Blackheart’s injury left NXT management in a really tough spot. In the end, Shotzi was devastated to miss out on her Elimination Chamber opportunity

Now, the charismatic WWE Superstar will have to wait in the wings for a majority of 2024 as she recovers. Only time will tell how much momentum she comes back with, but fans will certainly be more than excited to see her return happen.

Everyone at SE Scoops is wishing Shotzi the best on her recovery.

Update: Shotzi Confirms Injury

Shotzi got on Instagram to share that she tore her ACL.

Omos In Holding Pattern: Creative Plans For WWE’s Nigerian Giant

WWE has a lot of Superstars on their roster who are champing at the bit for their opportunity to shine. Omos is a bit different, because he knows his value and understands how the company is using him. As a special attraction, WWE just needs to figure out a situation where he fits best.

Omos’ Current WWE Status (Exclusive)

Omos recently spoke to SEScoops‘ Scott Fishman, where he admitted to his special attraction status. It seems that he is embracing it at this point, as he said that they will book him when the money is there.

I asked about Omos’ current creative status, and was told that WWE is “holding Omos for the right program for either him or an opponent who could use a big win.”

At this time, Omos is doing community events for the company, interviews, and other things. He also makes house show appearances, with his latest being on February 18, 2024 at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, USA, where he beat Akira Tozawa during a WWE Road To WrestleMania event.

Who is Omos

Omos has a background in college basketball, and WWE was quick to sign him to a deal once they met him. He played basketball at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland after transferring from USF

As the tallest wrestler on WWE’s active roster, he stands out for his imposing stature. Now managed by MVP, they are categorized as “free agents,” granting them the flexibility to appear on both the Raw and SmackDown brands. As of this writing, fans are still waiting to see the 31-year-old Nigerian giant re-appear on television for either side.

SE Scoops will have more on this story if there are any further developments.

Cody Rhodes Suffered Historic Loss On 2/19 WWE RAW

WWE has treated Cody Rhodes like a bona fide Superstar since he made his return to the company. As Cody continues the mission to finish his story, that doesn’t give a lot of time to lose matches. 

Cody Rhodes’ Big Loss

Monday’s WWE Raw kicked off with Cody Rhodes against Drew McIntyre. The match took a dramatic turn when The Bloodline intervened to assist McIntyre. 

Jimmy Uso’s interference led to his ejection from ringside, while Solo Sikoa made his presence felt by attacking Rhodes with a Samoan spike. As he seized the opportunity, McIntyre delivered a devastating Claymore Kick to secure the victory via pinfall, which marked a very rare loss for The American Nightmare. 

According to CageMatch.net, this loss represents Rhodes’ first television singles match defeat since May 2016, when he was known as Stardust and lost to Zack Ryder on an episode of Superstars. Since returning to WWE at WrestleMania 38 in 2022, Rhodes has only suffered singles match losses to Reigns and Brock Lesnar on television or premium live events. 

Rhodes’ most recent loss took place last November on WWE RAW, when he and Jey Uso dropped the Undisputed Tag Team Titles to The Judgment Day. Since then, WWE has protected him in a big way, but they also gave a huge win to Drew McIntyre this week in the process.

What’s Next For Cody Rhodes in WWE

This defeat comes as Rhodes prepares to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania 40. Additionally, Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins are scheduled to appear on the Grayson Waller Effect at Elimination Chamber this Saturday, where WWE is anticipated to finalize a match between Rhodes & Rollins and The Rock & Reigns for the first night of WrestleMania. 

That Solo Sikoa interference was the same spot that saw Cody lose to Roman at WrestleMania 39. Odds are, WWE is setting fans up for the same spot at Mania 40, but Cody will kick out next time. 

SEScoops will have continued coverage of this story, and many more, on the road to WrestleMania 40.

Jade Cargill Removed: Likely Reason Why WWE Took Her Out Of Elimination Chamber Plans

Jade Cargill made a big impression on the WWE roster when she finally made her debut. Although she hasn’t mixed it up much, she is around. There was a slot for her at the Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia, but WWE changed those plans around.

Cargill is out of the Chamber

Despite Jade Cargill’s impactful debut at the Royal Rumble, WWE has yet to get her really going with an angle. The initial plans for her involvement in Elimination Chamber have been changed.

During this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, Raquel Rodriguez made her big return and secured the final spot in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match by winning the last-chance battle royal. Cargill wasn’t even in the last chance battle royal.

WWE initially had plans for Jade Cargill at Elimination Chamber, but those were ultimately discarded. While speaking about this on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer shed light on Jade Cargill’s situation, as he said that the possible reason for pulling her laid on the fact that it made no creative sense to put her in that match if she is not going to win it.

“Obviously we saw something change in the women’s match. The women’s battle Royal, and it probably did since Friday. Because, if you saw the scene on Friday where they had everyone there that was for the women’s Chamber, they had Cargill in the room, basically foreshadowing and the plan was Cargill, and then they took her out, probably for all the reasons I said they should. I mean, because if you actaully looked at it, it made no sense to put her in that chamber match, none at all, and so they didn’t. They put Raquel Rodriguez in there instead.”

Jade Cargill’s First Impression In WWE

Earlier this week, I inquired about Jade Cargill’s status for the Royal Rumble. In response, I was informed that WWE has several plans in store for Cargill. While it wasn’t explicitly confirmed whether she would participate in the Royal Rumble match, her presence at rehearsals on Thursday strongly suggests her involvement.

Following her signing with WWE, Jade Cargill made a notable appearance during the Fastlane kickoff show. However, her visibility has been limited since then, with only brief appearances on RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. During these instances, she remained backstage, with her entrance music undisclosed and her presence in the ring unseen.

After Cargill’s debut for the company, I was told that there was “a ton of buzz about how professional Jade Cargill was backstage, how impressive she is up close, how well she fit in, and how quickly she did that.”

What’s Next In WWE

Raquel Rodriguez apparently took Cargill’s spot in the last-chance battle royal. We will have to see how WWE books the big chamber match in Perth, but Jade Cargill apparently didn’t factor into their plans.

SEScoops will have continued coverage of Elimination Chamber, and everything else going on in the pro wrestling world.

WWE Has Another Dream Match Planned For WrestleMania 40

WWE is on the road to WrestleMania, and they are setting up the matches for the big show as we speak. This week’s episode of RAW saw a lot of momentum toward the grandest stage of them all, and a big match is already coming together. This match is also one that some fans have dreamed about witnessing for years. 

WWE’s WrestleMania Plan

During WWE RAW this week, Jey Uso battled GUNTHER for the IC Title. Uce didn’t win that match, but he was really close at one point.

Jimmy Uso interrupted that match by ringing the bell to stop a count when Jey was pinning GUNTHER. That distraction caused GUNTHER to get another shot in the match, and he ended up pulling off the win.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer made it clear that Jimmy vs Jey Uso is the match at WrestleMania. This has been the plan for months, so they are going that way with them.

“Obviously, they’re setting up Jimmy vs Jey at WrestleMania, which has been the plan for like, six months.”

What’s Next on the Road to WrestleMania 40

Jimmy and Jey Uso have won a ton of titles together, and they are one of the best tag teams of all time. They have yet to really battle it out in the ring, and this year’s showcase of the immortals will certainly give them that opportunity.

The card is always subject to change, and you never know what obstacles may arise in the next month and a half, but it looks like fans will finally see The Usos get their WrestleMania moment in a singles match this year.

SEScoops will have continued coverage of the road to WrestleMania. Please keep checking back for more updates.

Michael Chandler Uses WWE RAW Appearance To Call Out Conor McGregor

WWE is on the road to WrestleMania, and you never know what will happen during their weekly Monday night flagship show. This week’s episode of RAW included a call-out that no pro wrestling fan saw coming.

Conor McGregor Called Out During WWE RAW

During WWE RAW this week, Samantha Irvin introduced Michael Chandler, and the UFC fighter had a lot to say. Chandler grabbed the microphone, and he called out Conor McGregor in epic fashion.

He told Notorious to get his ass back in the cage, after all Conor last fought in July 2021 losing to Dustin Poirier in a trilogy bout at UFC 264. In the loss, McGregor suffered a broken leg.

Chandler was pumped. He then ripped off his shirt and threw it in the crowd. The whole time, Michael Cole and Pat McAfee used this chance to hype how great a fight between Chandler and McGregor might be.

McGregor and Chandler served as coaches on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter last year, leading many fans to anticipate McGregor’s return to the octagon by now. The former two-division champion announced on social media on Dec. 31 that he would be facing ‘Iron’ at International Fight Week this year. However, White refuted the accuracy of McGregor’s announcement, stating that his return date is still undetermined.

What’s Next for WWE and UFC

TKO Group Holdings comprises WWE and UFC under Endeavor’s umbrella. This might be the first UFC story and call-out during WWE programming, but it very well might not be the last. Needless to say, this is also a sure-fire way to make sure WWE fans are aware of what is going on in the UFC.

SEScoops will have continued coverage of this story as more updates are available. 

Raquel Rodriguez Returns From Injury To Take Final Elimination Chamber Spot During 2/19 WWE RAW

The Elimination Chamber is set to go down in Perth, Australia this Saturday. The show will begin at 5:00 AM, which could be a great way to start the day. Logan Paul already clinched the final spot in the men’s Chamber match, and now it’s time for the women.

Final Women’s Elimination Chamber Spot

Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark, Raquel Rodriguez, and more were in the big last chance battle royal match. It is interesting to note that Jade Cargill was originally set to win this match, but the company pivoted. 

Rodriguez made her return from injury during this match. She’s been out of action for a number of months. They gave her a surprise entrance, and it was nice to see her return.

It all came down to Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark, who dominated a majority of the match, along with Michin and Raquel Rodrigues. Then Michin was taken out of the match. 

In the end, Raquel laid out Baszler and Stark before she was able to eliminate both of them. Then Chelsea Green snuck back in, but she was quickly taken out too.

The Rock Honors Commitment, Lights Up Daytona 500 After Rain Delay

The Rock was psyched about taking on Grand Marshal duties at the Daytona 500. Sadly, the race went on a rain delay, but it kicked off on Monday, and The Great One was around to shout those four famous words: drivers start your engines!

The Rock Showed Up For Day Two

While appearing during what should have been the Daytona 500 yesterday, Dwayne Johnson promised to stick around for the actual race after the rain delay. The People’s Champion showed up, as promised, and he put on quite a show.

The Rock assumed the role of official Grand Marshal at the iconic Daytona Beach race recently, bringing his signature People’s Champion flair to the NASCAR event.

What’s Next

TNA Wrestling May Lose A Couple Former World Champions Soon

TNA Wrestling is going through a big change with Scott D’Amore leaving the company. There were some conflicting reports about who is running the creative side of things, but that was cleared up. Still, a former World Champion may be on their way out as well, because Steve Maclin could be moving on.

Steve Maclin’s TNA Wrestling Contract Status

A former World Champion’s contract might soon reach its end. Steve Maclin, who performed under the name Steve Cutler in WWE, could be on his way out.

According to reports from Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select, Steve Maclin, a former IMPACT World Champion, is nearing the expiration of his contract with TNA, set for May.

Details regarding discussions between Maclin and TNA regarding a possible contract extension are currently not available. It will be interesting to see if he joins his wife, Deonna Purrazzo, in AEW.

Fightful Select has learned that former IMPACT World Champion Steve Maclin’s contract with TNA is currently set to expire in May. Maclin joined the company in 2020 after being released by WWE, and quickly established himself as a top star in the company.

Steve Maclin in WWE

Steve Maclin joined Impact Wrestling in 2020 following his release from WWE, and swiftly rose to prominence within the organization.

Having spent nearly seven years under the WWE banner, primarily in NXT, Maclin and Wesley Blake were promoted to the main roster but were subsequently sidelined from television due to Jaxson Ryker’s controversies. While Ryker remained with WWE before eventually being released, Maclin and Blake found themselves released.

Although things didn’t work out for him in WWE, due to many reasons, things went well for him in TNA Wrestling. In 2023, Maclin enjoyed a notable period of success in the ring, delivering what many considered to be some of the year’s finest matches in IMPACT.

Josh Alexander May Be Out

Josh Alexander also heavily implied that he may be out of TNA Wrestling soon as well. He posted an hourglass emoji to Twitter/X. That garnered some serious attention.

Will Ospreay then replied to the Walking Weapon, as he suggested that he go to NJPW. Only time will tell if he does depart from TNA as well.

Get this man on the lion mark

Alexander’s TNA Wrestling contract status is not known at this time. The rumor mill is certainly churning that a couple members of the locker room may decide to make their exit in light of circumstances within the company.

TNA Wrestling’s talent are not happy about Scott D’Amore’s forced departure. They signed off on a letter to the company, one where they were quite detailed in their demands. It was also stated during a mandatory talent meeting that release requests may be addressed if talent want out of their deals.

Update on Josh Alexander

Alexander inked a contract extension with TNA Wrestling on Feb 20th. You can click here to find more information on the Walking Weapon.

WWE Star Omos Addresses Special Attraction Status, Says WrestleMania Changed His Life (Exclusive)

WWE has different uses for Superstars on their roster. Although Omos hasn’t been seen a lot, he is still around, and he understands his status as a special attraction. With WrestleMania 40 coming up, he also knows that this is a season where magic things can happen.

WrestleMania is Special for Omos

Omos appeared during Royal Rumble press events with a Rumble jersey from the Tampa Bay Rays. Although he didn’t appear in the Rumble match, he was happy to be around the atmosphere. 

While speaking to SEScoops‘ Scott Fishman, Omos mentioned the show of shows, and how much it means to him.

“To be honest, WrestleMania literally changed my life. I made my debut at WrestleMania. You know, with AJ Styles and the tag team titles, I will never forget it for the rest of my life, like that is in my brain. Although I didn’t know I would be booked, the next year against Bobby Lashley in Dallas was tremendous, just me on my own, which I think was my 3rd year in the business to then do it with Brock, that was just every year it just keeps going higher and higher. To me, WrestleMania holds a special place in my heart.”

Omos Addresses WWE Absence 

Omos was also asked about his absence from WWE television. He did not provide any clue that he is coming back soon, but the Nigerian did admit that he is a special attraction that requires a payday. 

“You know, I’m an attraction, they call me when they need to make the big bucks, that’s when they call me when they need me.”

Omos went on to say, “When they wanna see me on TV, man, cash those checks when you see me on TV.” 

WWE hasn’t made a lot of use of Omos in recent memory, but he has been paired up with MVP at recent live events. As of this writing, that pairing has yet to make their real debut on WWE television, but you never know what can happen on the road to WrestleMania 40. 

Dominik Mysterio Squashes Claims of WWE Piping In Boos from Live Crowds

WWE has a few stars on their roster who love to ruffle the feathers of fans all across the world. Few have received the overall disdain from fans that Dominik Mysterio gets on a daily basis. According to the former NXT North American Champion, those boos are 100% authentic.

Dominik Mysterio’s Heel Reaction

WWE has piped in crowd responses in the past, especially when they want to prime the pump or get a chant started. Apparently, those tricks are not needed to assist fans in feeling comfortable about expressing how much they hate Dirty Dom.

Dominik recently appeared on K100 with Konnan, where he addressed the boos that he receives from the WWE Universe. The 2nd generation Superstar confirmed that those boos are organic, and they don’t need to pipe them in.

“They like it when I do that, when I go out and try to cut a promo, especially if they need to cut time out of something or they need to save time, I can go out there with a mic for two to three minutes, pretend to cut a promo. I’m still blessed to get booed. I can’t tell you, every city I go out to, it gets louder and louder.”

There is an idea out there that WWE lowers Dom’s microphone when fans are booing to make them appear that they are louder. It appears that may not be the case, at least Dominik isn’t admitting to any of those tactics.

What’s Next For Dominik Mysterio

Dominik will join forces with The Judgment Day comprising Damian Priest, Finn Balor, and JD McDonagh to take on DIY, consisting of Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano, as well as The Miz and R-Truth on Monday’s WWE RAW.

He was supposed to face Brock Lesnar at the Elimination Chamber event in Perth, Australia. Sadly for Dom, that match is not happening now, because Lesnar was removed from WWE’s landscape and all creative was nixed after his name was associated with the groundbreaking allegations in Janel Grant’s lawsuit.

Additionally, Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley grace the cover of the Deluxe Edition. The 40 Years of WrestleMania edition features a collage of wrestling legends, making it a standout among wrestling video game covers.

Ripley and Belair are making history as they are the first women to share a cover of the WWE video game. This is a big deal for them, but they are representing the entire roster, and everyone who came before them.

While speaking to SEScoops‘ Scott Fishman, Bianca Belair was asked about support in the locker room over this new video game cover. She said that everyone is excited, and they plan to buy hard copies of the game so they can keep it.

“They’re so excited. They’re all saying they’re getting a hard copy, they’re keeping it, they’re super excited. Because, I think that having an all-female cover, it just shows how amazing our roster is. It is showing how much the women’s division has evolved, and it shows how stacked it is.”

“We’re the first, but we’re not going to be the last. They’re super supportive of it, it’s representation for women, and no one does it like WWE for the women. We have representation for all cultures, backgrounds, ethnicities, like we define what it means to be a woman. So, when you see myself and Rhea Ripley on that cover, it represents every single woman who came before us, every single woman on the roster right now”

WWE 2K24 Release Information

Three editions of WWE 2K24 will be available, including the Deluxe Edition, Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition, and Standard Edition, with release dates staggered worldwide in March 2024. Stay tuned for additional information on the game’s soundtrack, roster, Superstar ratings, and more.

SEScoops will have continued coverage of WWE 2K24’s launch. Keep checking back for more updates.

WWE 2K24: Bad Bunny & More Join Post Malone as Playable Characters In Upcoming Game

WWE 2K24 is coming soon, and fans are getting a lot more information. Now, it is confirmed that full-time megastar and part-time WWE Superstar Bad Bunny will make the game.

New Confirmed Characters In WWE 2K24

Several new additions have been revealed for WWE 2K24. These names are only a fraction of the playable characters that will be in the new game.

On February 19, WWE Games’ Twitter/X page unveiled Alba Fyre, Thea Hail, Bad Bunny, Jey Uso, Bronson Reed, Maxxine Dupri, Isla Dawn, and Tegan Nox as confirmed members of the WWE 2K24 roster. The announcement included a snapshot of Fyre’s character model.

In addition to these new characters, it was previously announced that Post Malone would also be featured as a playable character in WWE 2K24. Malone was heavily involved in the soundtrack, and he also has two songs in the game.

This means that fans will be able to book Bad Bunny vs Post Malone matches, and we can’t wait for those viral videos. On a semi-related note, Logan Paul has a 90 rating, so this game could be interesting.

Changes to WWE 2K24

2k is making efforts to remove as much of certain people as they possibly can from the upcoming game. Vince McMahon’s resignation, which was caused by a string of allegations in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against himself, WWE, and John Laurinaitis, has caused many alterations to WWE’s product in recent memory.

PW Insider reported that Brock Lesnar will not be totally removed from the game, but the 2k team has obviously made efforts to remove him from advertising. The Beast Incarnate was also removed from the Forty Years of WrestleMania cover after his name was connected to heinous allegations in Janel Grant’s blockbuster lawsuit.

WWE 2K24 Release Date

The Deluxe Edition of WWE 2K24 will be digitally released worldwide, with physical availability in the US and select territories, on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. The Standard Edition and Standard Cross-Gen Digital Edition of WWE 2K24 will be accessible globally on Friday, March 8, 2024.

WWE Announces Long-Awaited Return to Overseas Market After 5-Year Hiatus

WWE has fans all over the whole, but some markets don’t get as much attention from their schedule. Now, fans in Austria have some big news, because WWE is returning to their country. 

WWE’s Return to Austria

WWE announced their next live event in Austria on February 19th. The next show is set to take place at the Wiener Stadthalle Halle D in Vienna, Austria, on Thursday, May 2, 2024. This event marks WWE’s return to Vienna since its last appearance in 2019. 

Fans in attendance can anticipate a showcase featuring top WWE Superstars. Among the stars scheduled to appear are “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, Randy Orton, WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY, Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Bobby Lashley, Kevin Owens, and Jey Uso. More Superstars are expected as well, and the card is always subject to change..

Tickets and VIP packages, which offer exclusive Meet & Greet opportunities with WWE Superstars, will go on sale starting at 10 AM CET on Thursday, February 22, through Ticketmaster.at. 

What’s Next

This Austrian WWE Live show serves as a precursor to the upcoming WWE Backlash France event, scheduled to take place at the LDLC Arena in Lyon-Decines, France, on Saturday, May 4, 2024. WWE is certainly making waves outside North America, as Endeavor’s vision for the company continues in the TKO era.

SEScoops will have ongoing coverage of WWE’s activities and will keep track of all updates.

Paul Heyman’s Next Client: Which WWE Star Is Next to Join the Heyman Hustle?

Paul Heyman has a long history of managing clients in the pro wrestling world. The Bloodline might not last forever, especially as the road to WrestleMania 40 becomes even more tumultuous. There are many more Superstars in WWE who may benefit from Heyman’s guidance, and we collected a list to explore a few options. 

Throughout his career, Heyman has managed many top names including Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, Kurt Angle, Big Show, Rob Van Dam, The Dudley Boyz, Steve Austin, Rick Rude, and Matt Hardy. Additionally, Heyman has had stints managing factions such as The Dangerous Alliance in WCW and The Dangerous Alliance and The Alliance in WWE. That doesn’t even count his position as The Bloodline’s Wise Man

Brock Lesnar is no longer in any WWE creative plans due to his name being connected to Janel Grant’s lawsuit. I asked just last week and was able to confirm that is still the case, and Lesnar’s name is not coming up in any creative fashion. Since the Beast Incarnate’s return to WWE might take a long while, let’s see who might be next for Heyman if the Bloodline implodes.

Bron Breakker

It seems that Breakker is the #1 candidate to become the next Paul Heyman Guy after The Wise Man’s Bloodline tenure is over. Heyman paid special attention to Breakker during SmackDown, as he made extra effort to introduce himself. Heyman and Breakker also had a segment on NXT months ago. The former NXT Champion also has all the tools needed to become a breakout star for the main roster once he can get things moving for himself after his NXT obligations are over.

GUNTHER

GUNTHER’s imposing presence and hard-hitting style would make him a perfect candidate for Paul Heyman’s stable. Heyman could amplify the IC Champion’s intimidating persona and help him become a dominant force in WWE, both in the ring and on the microphone. The Ring General has a pretty great thing going with Imperium right now, but that stable has showed signs of cracks in the past, and GUNTHER’s domination in WWE will not end with the stable’s eventual demise. 

Pete Dunne

The former Butch is known for his intense in-ring style and captivating presence. Triple H gave Pete Dunne is name back, and the Brawling Brutes is now over. He teamed up with Tyler Bate, and they are getting a chance as a tandem. Some would say that Dunne may thrive under Paul Heyman’s guidance. Heyman could help Dunne further develop his character and storytelling abilities, solidifying his status as a top star in WWE. 

Dexter Lumis 

With his unique character and silent intensity, Dexter Lumis would be an intriguing addition to Paul Heyman’s stable. Heyman could help Lumis further develop his character and storytelling abilities, positioning him as a standout star in WWE. If anything, it would give Lumis something to do. I’ve asked around about his status many times, and I’ve been told that he’s not injured. Hopefully, WWE will figure out a way to use the serial killer with a heart of gold soon. 

Raquel Rodriguez

As the current NXT Women’s Champion, Raquel Rodriguez has already proven herself as a dominant force in WWE. With Paul Heyman’s guidance, she could further elevate her character and mic skills, establishing herself as a top star on the main roster. She hasn’t been able to find her footing on the main roster since her call-up, although she has seen glimpses of good booking. Perhaps, Heyman advocating for her may do the trick.

Shotzi Blackheart

With her unique look, high-flying style, and charismatic personality, Shotzi Blackheart would be an excellent addition to Paul Heyman’s stable of clients. Heyman could help Blackheart refine her character and mic skills, positioning her as a standout star in WWE’s women’s division. Sadly, Shotzi is out of action with a knee injury which will keep her on the shelf for a majority of 2024, but her return as a Paul Heyman Girl may be just what she needs.

Rhea Ripley 

The Nightmare could be a good fit as a Paul Heyman Girl due to her distinct appearance, impressive in-ring skills, and ability on the microphone. Ripley’s unique look and imposing presence make her stand out performer. With Heyman’s guidance, Ripley could further develop her in-ring storytelling and refine her microphone skills, enhancing her ability to connect with the audience and establish herself as a dominant force in the women’s division. She is currently in the Judgment Day, but that stable may open the door to Heyman swooping in eventually. 

There are many options for WWE Superstars that would make fine Paul Heyman clients. SEScoops will have continued coverage of WWE, just in case any of these prospective pairings becomes a reality. 

AEW Talent Opens Up About Text Sent to Cody Rhodes After Historic Segment With The Rock

WWE saw a huge shift in their creative direction when Then Rock returned to television. He found himself in the ring with Cody Rhodes, as they hugged before The Great One had a showdown with Roman Reigns. Everything happened very quickly after that, and we all know how everything escalated after that. Anthony Ogogo saw that footage, and it rocked his world as well.

Anthony Ogogo Reacts To Cody Rhodes & The Rock’s Segment

Anthony Ogogo recently spoke with Boxing Scene, where Cody’s segment with The Rock came up. That was a bit of a mind-blowing experience for him to see, because he knows The American Nightmare and has shared the ring with him.

“I saw Cody in the ring with The Rock the other day, I saw it on YouTube, over a 100m views or whatever and I thought…” 

After he took a moment to pause, Ogogo continued to say, “I took a screenshot. And I just thought, ‘F*ck. I was in the ring with him a couple of years ago, now he’s in with the biggest star in the world.’”

Anthony Ogogo then revealed what he texted Cody Rhodes after that momentous segment on WWE television.  

Everyone knows The Rock. “I’m happy for Cody. He’s a very good professional wrestler. He’s worked hard. He’s bet on himself. I’m happy for him.” “And I text Cody and said, ‘Mate, this is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time. Buzzing for you. Go get it’. That’s what I text him. And I mean that, it’s a big thing for him.”

Cody Rhodes will get a chance to finish his story after all, because fans spoke out and cause The Rock to pivot from his original plan. 

WWE Changed WrestleMania Plans

I exclusively reported on SEScoops that a source within WWE confirmed that The Rock initially intended to have a match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. The current scenario regarding the show was not The Rock’s original preference, indicating that it was not part of a preconceived plan from the outset. He then conceded that Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns should be the main event match.

I was later told that “The Rock conceded it should be Roman vs Cody.” It was Dwayne Johnson’s call to switch things up, and now Cody vs Roman is the main event of WrestleMania. At this point, a tag team match with The Rock joining the Bloodline seems to be the direction against Cody and Seth Rollins.

Ryback Opens Up About Pro Wrestling Return Amid Stem Cell Therapy Journey

Pro wrestling can take a lot out of someone, and Ryback understands that all too well. He walked out of WWE a number of years ago, and he hasn’t looked back except to call out WWE for their misdeeds. Although Ryback hasn’t wrestled much since his WWE departure, there is a hope that he will lock up again some day.

Ryback Talks About In-Ring Return

Ryback’s last match took place in August 2018 when Northeast Wrestling presented an event as part of their Wrestling Under The Stars 7 Tour. The event took place at Muzzy Field in Bristol, Connecticut, USA. One of the featured matches of the evening saw Ryback emerge victorious over Dylan Bostic in a hard-fought battle. The Big Guy hasn’t wrestled since then. 

During a recent TikTok video, Ryback addressed his return to the ring. It seems that stem cell therapy has helped repair his back, but his shoulder still has issues. There is also a problem with the scar tissue that remains.

The one question I get all the time is ‘Ryback, when are you going back to WWE? When are you going back pro wrestling?’ The answer is that I don’t know. The reason I don’t know is in 2016, when I walked out on a multi-million dollar contract in WWE, I was told I needed a five-disc fusion and shoulder replacement at 34-years-old. See, I was able to get stem cell treatments, and they were able to regrow all five discs in my back, so that is not an issue. My right shoulder, which I have no cartridge due to negligent WWE doctors injecting cortizone into it multiple times a year and lying to me, that has been a bigger issue.

Ryback then explained that he has a massive amount of scar tissue that has built up. They are working daily to break that up, and if they can succeed, then he can make a return to the ring. Until that happens, he will keep working toward that goal.

What’s Next for Ryback

In the meantime, Ryback said that he is happy running his Feed Me More nutrition brand of supplements. He also runs daily live shows on his social media accounts, which he doesn’t plan on stopping any time soon.

We will have to see if Ryback ever makes a return to the ring. At this point, he seems to be working hard for that day to come, although he still has some more work to do. 

WWE Elimination Chamber Stage Already Under Construction In Perth, Australia

The 2024 Elimination Chamber event is going down on February 24th in Perth, Australia. They have a big show in store, and the stage is already being set in Opus Stadium.

The Rock Staying for NASCAR Daytona 500 Day 2 as Grand Marshal After Rain Delay

The Daytona 500 is an annual event that serves as the season-opening race for the NASCAR Cup Series. This year’s race was a bit rainy, so they’re running it tomorrow. The Rock was a bit bummed to see the race delayed, but he will be around for day 2.

The Rock Speaks On NASCAR Daytona 500 Rain Out

The Rock was in Daytona to be the Grand Marshal for this year’s race. He knew that a rain out was possible, which he stated during his video that he dropped today. 

Dwayne Johnson didn’t get to tell racers to start their engines, but he was around for the rain out. He also spoke to the panel at the raceway, where he assured them that he will be around for tomorrow’s delayed race.

The Rock spoke about his midnight workout session, and how driving past the raceway was an incredible experience. Even in the middle of the night, workers filled the iconic NASCAR venue, preparing themselves for today’s race.

While he was there, The Rock also spoke about the XFL’s new deal with the USFL to form the UFL. He is very happy to bring that gridiron action to FOX as part of their new deal as well.

What This Means For WWE

According to Dave Meltzer’s Daily Update, the Daytona 500 getting bumped could help WWE SmackDown make history. 

Meltzer explained that, “Due to the cancellation of today’s Daytona 500, there’s a strong possibility that Smackdown on Friday could emerge as the highest-rated show on network television for the week. However, due to the holiday, this may not be confirmed until Wednesday or Thursday. Such an occurrence has never been recorded in the history of televised professional wrestling, which has been ongoing since 1947.”

What is the Daytona 500

The Daytona 500 will run on February 19th, due to this rain delay. The annual race takes place at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The race is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious events in American motorsports and attracts a large audience both at the track and through television broadcasts. The Daytona 500 features high-speed racing, with drivers competing for the coveted title of Daytona 500 champion.

SEScoops will have continued coverage of this story as more updates are made available.
