  • What Happened After June 6 WWE Raw Went Off The Air

    What Happened After June 6 WWE Raw Went Off The Air

    The cameras have stopped rolling for the June 6 episode of WWE Raw and here’s what happened after the show.

    This week’s Monday Night Raw took place inside the Resch Center in Green Bay, WI. Things got started with a promo from Cody Rhodes with him stating he still has his sights set on Money in the Bank despite being scheduled for surgery this week.

    Seth Rollins made his way out to give his “respect” to Cody. It was all a ruse as Rollins returned with a sledgehammer to attack “The American Nightmare.”

    Fans also got to see a new member of The Judgment Day enter the faction, while the group’s leader was kicked out.

    After The Show

    There was no dark match once WWE Raw went off the air. Instead, Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair addressed the crowd.

    She had been sitting ringside for the fatal four-way number one contender match. Rhea Ripley ended up winning that match and she will be getting the next title opportunity.

    WWE also held its Raw Talk show. During the show, Riddle vowed to show up on the June 10 episode of SmackDown. He also said that eventually, he will take the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship from Roman Reigns.

  • Indie Wrestler Peed on Herself During Mia Yim Match

    Indie Wrestler Peed on Herself During Mia Yim Match

    Wrestlers have dealt with many unforeseen circumstances in the ring and bowel movements are no exception.

    We’ve seen wrestlers admit that they once dropped a deuce while in the ring. Back in late 2013, CM Punk did indeed take a number two during a WWE SmackDown match with The Miz.

    In the case of Mia Yim, it was her opponent who had some loose fluid.

    Mia Yim’s Opponent Pees Mid-Match

    During an interview with Metro, Mia Yim revealed that an unnamed wrestler once peed on herself during their match at an independent show.

    “I mean, as far as embarrassing stuff, I wrestled a match – this was many, many years ago and it was on the independents – where a girl peed in my match, and it was weird. Yeah, that was really weird. But it’s okay!

    “It happens, you know? It happens. It’s one of those things where you just don’t bring attention to it, just don’t think about it, let’s get through this, and then let’s clean ourselves up.”

    Yim currently performs for IMPACT Wrestling. She realigned with the promotion after being released by WWE last year.

  • Former WWE Champion Returning to Raw Tonight

    Former WWE Champion Returning to Raw Tonight

    A former champion under the WWE banner will be returning for the June 6 episode of Monday Night Raw.

    Tonight’s edition of Raw will emanate from the Resch Center in Green Bay, WI. This will be the post-Hell in a Cell episode. Fans will witness the fallout of WWE’s latest premium live event.

    HIAC was headlined by the third televised encounter between Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins inside the cell. Despite completely tearing his right pectoral muscle, Cody went through with the match and defeated Rollins.

    Time will tell if WWE confirms reports of Cody undergoing surgery this Thursday.

    Maryse Returns Tonight

    The Miz and Maryse
    WWE.com

    Former two-time WWE Divas Champion Maryse will be appearing on tonight’s episode of Raw. She’ll be on the show with her husband The Miz to promote the third season of USA Network’s Miz & Mrs.

    During an interview with TV Insider, Maryse was asked if her appearance tonight would be one and done.

    “That is really fun that you asked that. I don’t know. Let’s ask the same question Tuesday morning.”

    Maryse then teased potentially getting involved in Money in the Bank and SummerSlam this year.

    “Well, Money in the Bank is coming up, as well as SummerSlam. SummerSlam is a great one.”

  • Roman Reigns Reaches Massive WWE Milestone

    Roman Reigns Reaches Massive WWE Milestone

    Roman Reigns continues to rack up accolades during his time in WWE.

    The secret has long been out, Reigns is the top dog in WWE. While the company always tried pushing the former Shield member, things just always seemed to be forced.

    That changed with Reigns aligned himself with Paul Heyman, becoming the “Tribal Chief” in the process. Reigns eventually convinced The Usos to join him through some tough love. Together, they are known as “The Bloodline.”

    Roman Reigns Surpasses Future Hall of Famer

    Roman Reigns

    At this point, Roman Reigns is a surefire future WWE Hall of Famer. You can say the same about Randy Orton. Speaking of “The Viper,” Orton has been passed by Roman on the all-time list for most days as WWE world champion.

    Orton has a total of 815 days as a world champion in WWE, while Roman Reigns has surpassed him and continues to add to that total.

    Peep the milestone (via Wrestling Stats & Info).

    Reigns is the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. He hasn’t been seen in a few weeks as he scored a new deal with WWE to work fewer dates.

    His absence has been quite noticeable and many feel it’s left a big hole in an already depleted SmackDown roster.

    WWE fans may have to wait even longer to see “The Head of the Table.” His status for the July 2 Money in the Bank event is up in the air.

  • WWE Superstar Initially Opposed Name Change

    WWE Superstar Initially Opposed Name Change

    One WWE superstar wasn’t immediately sold on a name change.

    WWE has been known to make both name and character changes to talent once they’re brought to the main roster from NXT. There are exceptions but for the most part, WWE wants complete control over a talent’s name for trademark purposes.

    In the case of one SmackDown superstar, the change wasn’t met with enthusiasm initially.

    Raquel Rodriguez Didn’t Like Alteration

    Raquel Rodriguez
    (via WWE)

    During an appearance on Ryan Satin’s Out of Character Podcast, Raquel Rodriguez admitted she didn’t like that WWE changed her last name at first (h/t Fightful).

    “I wanted to keep Gonzalez because it represented me. It represents my legacy because it’s my real last name. It’s the name that my dad used while he was wrestling throughout his career, but I wasn’t upset about it.

    “I’m glad that they still gave me something hispanic, Rodriguez, I’m grateful that I got something that is R and R. I was joking with Rhea that her initials are RR, mine are RR, when we used to tag together, we were R&R.

    “I can’t say that I was super upset. I just wish…Gonzalez had a special meaning to me, but it’s always going to be my name.”

    What Raquel can certainly be happy about is her current status on the main roster. She has been booked as a strong up and comer, who came close to pulling off a massive upset over current WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey.

    WWE recently made another change to Raquel, although it had nothing to do with trademarks. Raquel’s finisher used to be called the “Chingona Bomb” but WWE changed it to the “Texana Bomb” over fear that “Chingona” sounded too close to a curse word.

  • Another Update on Adam Cole’s Injury

    Another Update on Adam Cole’s Injury

    Adam Cole recently suffered an injury and there is a seemingly positive update on his status.

    The early word was that Cole suffered some type of shoulder injury during the Owen Hart Cup Tournament. His arm was taped up for the finals of the tourney at Double or Nothing against Samoa Joe.

    Cole ended up winning the match but hasn’t wrestled since.

    Adam Cole Return Period

    (via AEW)

    Bryan Alvarez reported on Wrestling Observer that Adam Cole isn’t expected to get back in the ring until Forbidden Door on June 26. Bryan has been told that AEW officials are letting him rest up.

    Cole had been scheduled for a 10-man tag team match on the June 1 episode of Dynamite. He and Jeff Hardy ended up being removed from the match.

    In Jeff’s case, it was due to the fact that he’s been quite banged up as of late. The belief is that his Owen Hart Cup quarterfinal match with Darby Allin is what really had Jeff hurting.

  • WWE Thrilled With Cody Rhodes’ Performance at Hell in a Cell

    WWE Thrilled With Cody Rhodes’ Performance at Hell in a Cell

    WWE appears to be in awe of Cody Rhodes following the Hell in a Cell event.

    The HIAC premium live event took place this past Sunday night inside the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. In the main event, Cody Rhodes defeated Seth Rollins in a memorable Hell in a Cell match.

    There was a lot of uncertainty going into the main event.

    Word broke that Cody suffered a pectoral tear after WWE announced at a live event that he had been injured. The company later confirmed he completely tore the tendon off the bone.

    WWE Officials Ecstatic Following HIAC

    (via WWE)

    When Cody Rhodes took his entrance jacket off for the match with Seth Rollins, he revealed just how brutal-looking his injury was. He was nearly completely bruised from the pectoral to the arm.

    A report from WrestlingNews.co noted that Cody was allowed to compete at Hell in a Cell because more damage wasn’t possible with a completely torn pectoral. The report mentioned that had he had a partial tear, he likely wouldn’t have been allowed to perform.

    Another note from the report is WWE gave Cody the option to not wrestle but he insisted on going out there.

    WrestleVotes is now reporting that WWE officials are over the moon with Cody Rhodes’ performance. Rollins is also being given his due and internally, this is considered an all-time classic in WWE history.

    “I’ve had multiple sources reach out this morning w/ exemplary words for the performance Cody Rhodes put in last night. Credit to Seth Rollins as well. Those at Gorilla were said to have LOVED the match. A modern-day, all-time classic HIAC that WWE will treat as much going forward.”

  • Bray Wyatt Return Rumors Spark Demand in Secondary Market for WWE Hell in a Cell

    Bray Wyatt Return Rumors Spark Demand in Secondary Market for WWE Hell in a Cell

    WWE Hell in a Cell has come and gone, and there was no Bray Wyatt.

    For some reason, rumors had been swirling that Wyatt would be making an appearance at the premium live event. “The Fiend” truthers looked for any little clue of Bray’s arrival but it was all a nothing burger.

    The rumors, however, did benefit the secondary ticket market.

    Bray Wyatt Rumors Spark Interest

    Bray Wyatt The Fiend
    (via WWE)

    Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer is reporting that the rumors of Bray’s return boosted secondary market demand. He noted that overall, the rumors helped spark some more interest in the show.

    Rumors started flying after Bray made a series of tweets ahead of HIAC. He asked fans to be patient and he hinted at being ready to make a return.

    Wyatt was doing an autograph session for Legends of the Ring on Sunday afternoon. He’s booked for another autograph signing with the same group on June 11 in Iselin, NJ.

    Bray was released by WWE back in late July 2021. While he’s been free to sign with anyone for months, the feeling is that Wyatt has a high asking price and has been dabbling in the world of Hollywood.

  • WWE References Major AEW Star During Hell in a Cell

    WWE References Major AEW Star During Hell in a Cell

    It appears WWE referenced a big-time AEW star during the Hell in a Cell broadcast.

    The general consensus online is that HIAC was a premium live event that overdelivered. The show started off with a fun triple threat match for the Raw Women’s Championship, which saw Bianca Belair retain against Asuka and Becky Lynch.

    Theory and Mustafa Ali also had a good United States Title match with Theory retaining the gold.

    There was also some good action featuring AJ Styles, Finn Balor, and Liv Morgan taking on The Judgment Day (Edge, Damian Priest, and Rhea Ripley).

    Kenny Omega Reference

    (via AEW)

    Then there was the main event, which won’t soon be forgotten. Cody Rhodes revealed the gnarly after-effects of his complete pectoral tear during his match with Seth Rollins.

    The left side of Cody’s body from the pec to his arm was almost completely bruised. He still toughed it out and won the match.

    During that match, commentator Corey Graves dropped quite the reference to AEW star Kenny Omega.

    Graves described Cody’s condition as, “a fallen angel with a broken wing.”

    Of course, Kenny Omega’s finishing move is the One-Winged Angel. Some may think Corey simply made a reference to the iconic Final Fantasy VII game since Cody is a video game buff.

    Omega is currently dealing with a slew of injuries. He underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and was having issues with his hernia. He had also been dealing with neck problems and he isn’t close to returning to action.

  • WWE Announces “Injury” Update on SmackDown Superstar

    WWE Announces “Injury” Update on SmackDown Superstar

    WWE has given a storyline injury update on a current member of the SmackDown roster.

    WWE Hell in a Cell took place inside the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois on June 5. Fans witnessed Cody Rhodes gut out a completely torn pectoral to defeat Seth Rollins.

    Bianca Belair successfully defended her Raw Women’s Championship against Asuka and Becky Lynch in a highly-praised opener.

    There ended up being just one SmackDown match on the HIAC card and it was Madcap Moss vs. Happy Corbin.

    At the conclusion of the No Holds Barred match at Hell in a Cell, Madcap Moss got his revenge on Happy Corbin. Just as Corbin did to him, Madcap placed Corbin’s neck through a chair and crushed it.

    The difference here was that Madcap used the ring steps inside of the now-destroyed Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy. Madcap picked up the pin after putting Corbin out of commission.

    Corbin was stretchered out after the match.

    WWE.com has provided an “injury” update on Happy Corbin.

    “Following the incredible beatdown he received at the hands of Madcap Moss in a brutal No Holds Barred Match during the WWE Hell in a Cell Premium Live Event, Happy Corbin was evaluated at a local medical facility on Sunday night and was released with a minor neck contusion.“

  • Backstage Update on Cody Rhodes Being Cleared to Wrestle at WWE Hell in a Cell

    Backstage Update on Cody Rhodes Being Cleared to Wrestle at WWE Hell in a Cell

    Cody Rhodes was cleared to wrestle at WWE Hell in a Cell and seeing how bad his injury looked, it left many wondering why.

    Fans knew something was off when Rhodes didn’t compete against Seth Rollins in a scheduled match at a house show just one night before HIAC. WWE announced to the crowd that Cody suffered an injury and he was replaced by Drew McIntyre.

    After the match, Cody ran Seth off leaving many to wonder if the injury was a work.

    As it turns out, the injury was very real as it was reported he had suffered a torn pectoral muscle while training. At the time, it wasn’t known if he had suffered a full tear or a partial tear.

    News on Cody Rhodes Being Cleared

    WWE announced on its Hell in a Cell Kickoff Show that Cody Rhodes tore his tendon completely off the bone. The company claimed at first he suffered a partial tear due to his brawl with Seth on the May 30 episode of Raw.

    The company then noted Cody suffered a complete tear during a training session.

    When Cody took off his entrance jacket for the match with Seth, his pec looked quite gruesome. Rhodes gutted it out and defeated Seth Rollins.

    WrestlingNews.co is reporting that the reason why Cody was cleared to wrestle is that a completely torn pectoral muscle can’t get any worse. The report notes that had Cody only had a partial tear, he likely wouldn’t have been allowed to compete.

    The report also mentions that WWE gave Cody the option to sit this one out but he insisted on performing.

  • What Happened After WWE Hell in a Cell Went Off The Air

    What Happened After WWE Hell in a Cell Went Off The Air

    WWE Hell in a Cell has wrapped up and fans got to see one-half of the main event give a passionate speech.

    The premium live event took place inside Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois on June 5. In the main event, Cody Rhodes took on Seth Rollins inside the Hell in a Cell structure.

    There was a lot of chatter going into this match and it had to do with Cody Rhodes’ injury. One night before the event, it was announced at a live show that “The American Nightmare” was injured.

    Reports surfaced revealing that Cody suffered a pectoral tear but the severity of the injury wasn’t known. WWE ended up announcing that Rhodes tore the tendon completely off the bone.

    Cody Rhodes Addresses Crowd

    Cody Rhodes gutted out the injury and wrestled as advertised. His right pectoral muscle looked gruesome but his performance remained on point.

    He pinned Rollins after delivering two straight Cross Rhodes’ followed by a sledgehammer shot.

    Twitter user Sawyer Carr was in attendance and he captured footage of Cody addressing the crowd once the cameras stopped rolling.

    Here’s another look at what happened after Hell in a Cell, via @ManyFacedHeel:

    The after-effects of Cody Rhodes’ pectoral injury are nothing short of gnarly.

    In the main event of WWE Hell in a Cell, Cody went one-on-one with Seth Rollins. Ahead of the match, it was reported that Cody suffered a pectoral tear but the extent of the injury wasn’t known.

    WWE later announced that Cody tore the tendon completely off the bone.

    Cody stuck to the plan to wrestle against Seth Rollins and it was clear to many immediately that his arm did not look right.

    Here is what Cody’s arm is looking like at the moment:

    Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio later noted that WWE did not put makeup on Cody to make things look worse.

    This is legit.

    “That’s not makeup on Cody, that’s really life full pec tear and what it looks like so soon after.”

    WWE Provides Update on Cody Rhodes’ Injury

    WWE has given an update on the injury Cody Rhodes has suffered.

    Rhodes is expected to go one-on-one with Seth Rollins at the Hell in a Cell premium live event on June 5. Just one night before the event, WWE announced during a house show that Cody suffered an injury.

    This blew up plans to have him face Rollins in their final live event match before HIAC. Cody did end up appearing at the house show to chase Rollins off.

    It was later reported that the injury wasn’t a work and that Cody potentially suffered a torn pectoral, although the extent of the tear hadn’t been known.

    Cody Rhodes Update

    During the WWE Hell in a Cell Kickoff Show, Kayla Braxton revealed that Cody first suffered the injury during his brawl with Seth Rollins on the May 30 episode of Monday Night Raw.

    She then said Cody aggravated the injury during training.

    Braxton then announced that Cody tore his tendon “off the bone.” Despite the injury, Rhodes will still meet Rollins inside Hell in a Cell.

    It’s been said that WWE has spent all day making changes to the Rhodes vs. Seth match.

  • WWE Makes Major Changes to Hell in a Cell Match

    WWE Makes Major Changes to Hell in a Cell Match

    WWE has once again been forced to pivot on the fly.

    Hell in a Cell will take place tonight inside Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. The card will feature seven matches including a Raw Women’s Title match between champion Bianca Belair, Asuka, and Becky Lynch.

    There will also be a mixed six-person tag team match featuring AJ Styles, Finn Balor, and Liv Morgan taking on The Judgment Day (Edge, Damian Priest, and Rhea Ripley).

    WWE Alters Plans

    There are other matches on the card but none are bigger than the HIAC match between Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.

    While WWE had plans laid out for the match, officials have needed to make changes. That’s because word broke that Cody may have suffered a torn pectoral while training for the match.

    WrestleVotes reports that WWE has been making changes to the match all day.

    “Unfortunately, the Cody Rhodes injury news going around is accurate. He is still scheduled to work tonight’s HIAC event, w/ the severity of the injury still being determined. I’m told plans for the match have been changing all day long. Feel terrible for Cody.”

    Something was amiss when Cody didn’t compete in a scheduled match at a house show this past Saturday night. He was set to take on Seth Rollins but WWE announced that he suffered an injury.

    Drew McIntyre ended up replacing Cody and he pinned Rollins. After the match, Cody ran Seth out of the ring.

  • Update on WWE Superstar’s Gimmick Change

    Update on WWE Superstar’s Gimmick Change

    Character changes seem to be in the air over in WWE.

    We’ve seen the likes of Madcap Moss recently undergo a much-needed change in direction. In Madcap’s case, he has ditched the suspenders and the bad joke gimmick in favor of a more serious attitude.

    Fans have also seen Xia Li tease going back to her Tian Sha gimmick from NXT. That hasn’t materialized on WWE TV, however.

    This WWE superstar, however, seems to have his new gimmick set for a big TV debut.

    Fabian Aichner is Giovanni Vinci

    Back in May, WrestlingNews.co reported that WWE officials had been discussing dropping aspects of Fabian Aichner’s character since he split from The Imperium. The thought was that he’d take on the Giovanni Vinci character on NXT.

    Fightful has followed up on this report, confirming that Aichner will indeed be the one to take on the role of Giovanni Vinci.

    It’s important to note that WWE has also trademarked “Gio Vinci,” so it’s possible there could be a slight alteration to the name in the future.

    WWE Claims Cody Rhodes is Injured at Live Event

    Cody Rhodes was scheduled to wrestle during a house show this past Saturday but he only made an appearance.

    During an untelevised Saturday Night’s Main Event, Cody was set to face Seth Rollins inside the State Farm Center in Champaign, Illinois.

    WWE ended up announcing that Cody Rhodes was “injured” and he ended up being replaced by Drew McIntyre. Drew picked up the win and after the match, Cody chased Seth off.

    Work or Legit?

    There’s no word on exactly why Cody didn’t wrestle last night. He’s been going one-on-one with Seth in a slew of dark matches over the past couple of months.

    Cody is scheduled to face Seth at the Hell in a Cell premium live event tonight. Many suspect the “injury” WWE announced for Cody at the live event on Saturday was a work but time will tell if something else is truly at play.

    SEScoops will have you covered with live results from the Hell in a Cell (see our predictions here) event.

    Another AEW Champion Dealing With An Injury

    CM Punk isn’t the only AEW champion who is hurt.

    During the June 3 episode of Rampage, Punk announced that he will be needing surgery due to an injury. While he won’t be relinquishing the AEW World Championship, an interim title will be put in place.

    As mentioned, he isn’t the only AEW titleholder who is injured.

    Scorpio Sky Injured

    Reigning TNT Champion Scorpio Sky has announced that he has been dealing with knee issues. He aggravated the injury early in his recent title defense against Dante Martin.

    Sky is hoping for the best.

    https://twitter.com/ScorpioSky/status/1533125840355004416

    “I went into last night’s match with my knee bothering me and unfortunately in the opening minutes I strained a muscle that goes from my knee up through my groin. My right leg was useless from then on.

    “Despite that, wrestling in SoCal felt amazing even on one leg. Hopefully nothing serious and I’ll be back to defend again soon.”

    It would be a tough break for AEW if two of its champions were out of commission for a period of time. The company was without its women’s champion Thunder Rosa on the June 1 episode of Dynamite due to illness.

    It was said that before Double or Nothing, Rosa had also been dealing with nagging injuries. It’s currently unknown if she fully healed before her successful title defense against Serena Deeb.

    One WWE Hall of Famer doesn’t believe “Hangman” Adam Page got all the perks of being a world champion.

    Page lost the AEW World Championship at Double or Nothing on May 29. He was pinned by CM Punk after hesitation cost Hangman.

    Page was considering blasting Punk with his championship but he decided against it. He went for the Buckshot Lariat but it was countered by the GTS.

    (AEW)

    During an edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T said he feels Hangman Page’s title reign lacked a big feel and it wasn’t through any fault of the former champion.

    “As far as Hangman Adam Page, he’s a damn good worker. I don’t think there was a highlight put on his title run. I don’t think he got any of the glitz and glamor.”

    “It’s almost like one of those things when you become the champion, but you’re not in the main event. You’re just on the show and you’re not the main event.”

    Booker T went on to say that he did agree that CM Punk was the right choice to defeat Hangman. He was looking forward to seeing how long AEW could ride the “gravy train.”

    Booker’s comments were made before AEW announced that Punk suffered an injury. As a result, an interim title will now be put in place.

    There’s currently no timeline for CM Punk’s return but he will need surgery.

    A WWE superstar on the Monday Night Raw brand has responded to John Cena teasing a match against him.

    Cena is no longer on the year-after-year grind in WWE. He has longed paid his dues and has become a hot ticket in Hollywood.

    With that said, the “Doctor of Thuganomics” still makes room for WWE whenever he can.

    Vince McMahon’s new “chosen one” took to his Twitter account to respond to Cena’s hint.

    “Stop playing dress up and do something then.”

    For weeks, Theory has been trying to goad John Cena into facing him. He even teased putting the U.S. gold on the line against Cena at SummerSlam this July.

    A WWE superstar on the SmackDown roster has a new look.

    During the June 3 episode of SmackDown, Madcap Moss made his return. He had been out of action since being attacked by Happy Corbin on the May 13 episode of SmackDown.

    Corbin crushed Moss’ throat with the Andre The Giant Memorial Trophy. Moss was stretchered out of the building.

    WWE ran a storyline angle where Madcap Moss suffered a “cervical contusion.”

    When Moss made his way out, he had new entrance music, a new look, and a brand new attitude.

    Madcap said he buried his old character thanks to Corbin’s attack. He then called out his former tag team partner.

    Moss called for a match against Corbin and authority figure Adam Pearce agreed.

    Corbin ended up winning the match via disqualification when Madcap hit him in the ribs with a chair. After the match, he kept attacking Corbin with the chair.

    Moss put Corbin’s neck through the chair and was going to crush it with steel steps but WWE officials stopped him.

  • Additional Match Planned For WWE Hell in a Cell

    Additional Match Planned For WWE Hell in a Cell

    It looks like another match will be added to the WWE Hell in a Cell card.

    The HIAC premium live event is set to go down this Sunday night (June 5). The action will take place inside Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.

    The card is set to have some key matches including Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins III and Bianca Belair vs. Asuka vs. Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Championship.

    It appears you can add another match to the list.

    Madcap Moss vs. Happy Corbin

    (via WWE)

    WrestleVotes is reporting that another match between Madcap Moss and Happy Corbin is currently planned for WWE Hell in a Cell.

    In addition, the report has seemingly ruled out two matches for the event this weekend.

    “As of last check around 4pm today, no Usos tag title or Ricochet IC title match will be added to the HIAC card. Good news however, yet another Riddick Moss vs Happy Corbin match is scheduled to make the show.”

    Moss and Corbin were once tag team partners. The two started feuding after Corbin grew jealous of Moss’ Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal win.

    They had a match at WrestleMania Backlash. Madcap Moss picked up the win via pinfall.

    During the May 13 episode of SmackDown, Corbin attacked Moss and placed his neck through a chair. He then crushed it with the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy. Moss was stretchered out of the arena.

    Madcap has been advertised to make his return during the June 3 episode of SmackDown.

    Current AEW Champion Frustrated With The Company

    One current AEW Champion is said to not be very happy with the company.

    We have seen reports claiming that some AEW stars have been frustrated with the promotion over a lack of TV time among other things.

    The company has signed a slew of talent to the point where many of them end up on Dark and Dark: Elevation in a matter of weeks.

    Thunder Rosa Not Happy

    Those concerns seem to have resonated with AEW Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa. While Rosa wasn’t seen on the June 1 episode of Dynamite due to an illness, as reported by PWInsider, she has some issues behind the scenes.

    WhatCulture was the first to report that Thunder Rosa has expressed gripes over her lack of TV time. Fightful has since confirmed the report, while noting that her frustration had nothing to do with the June 1 episode of Dynamite.

    It’s also been said that the AEW Women’s Champion wasn’t given an opportunity to speak about auctioning her Double or Nothing gear to help support the families of the victims of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas during the post-event scrum.

    While Rosa’s situation hasn’t been described as reaching a boiling point, she has been left puzzled over some of AEW’s decision-making.
