  • Kevin Patrick Says WWE Exit Was Amicable, Loved His Time Working There

    Kevin Patrick Says WWE Exit Was Amicable, Loved His Time Working There

    WWE and Kevin Patrick parted ways amicably earlier this year, according to the former interviewer and commentator. 

    Patrick was released from WWE last month, mere days after he was pulled from SmackDown’s commentary team. The belief backstage that his tenure on the blue brand just wasn’t working. He has since been replaced by Wade Barrett on commentary. Barrett’s role on Raw has been filled by Pat McAfee, who has reunited with Michael Cole. 

    Kevin Patrick’s Amicable Release

    Patrick’s departure was something of a surprise to fans, but the Irish broadcaster isn’t too hurt about how things went down. Speaking to 700WLW, Patrick shared his positive feelings toward WWE despite his release. 

    “Absolutely loved my time with WWE. Nothing but love for everybody there. I’ll look back on my time there brilliantly, and I know I’ll go visit friends when WWE is in town, I’ll go say hi to everybody. I left very amicably with everybody there.”

    What Happened Next? 

    Patrick has bounced back nicely from his WWE exit by securing a role with Apple TV as the host of MLS 360. Patrick previously hosted Major League Soccer events and in the interview, described the role as his “dream job.” 

    More on Kevin Patrick

    Patrick studied journalism at Ireland’s Griffith College Dublin, and worked as part of the RTÉ Sport team covering the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. He left Ireland for the United States in 2009.

    Kevin Patrick isn’t the only notable member of his family. His father Liam was an All-Ireland-winning Gaelic footballer. While Kevin played for Raheny GAA, an injury would cut his athletics career short. 

  • John Cena gets extra risqué teasing his latest OnlyFans drop

    John Cena really let it loose with his latest OnlyFans post. Of course, the 16x World Champion doesn’t have a personal account, but it is in promotion for the upcoming Ricky Stanicky movie on Amazon Prime.

    Cena recently posted a new video on his Ricky Stanicky OnlyFans. He promised double fisting, and that’s what he gave us. Although we can’t post the video here, Cena raised up both of his dukes like he was ready for a fight, which fulfilled the clickbait post’s promise to provide double fisting.

    Cena on OnlyFans

    John Cena shocked fans as he recently announced his entry onto the OnlyFans platform, using the alias Ricky Stanicky to promote his upcoming film. The account is free, and we can only imagine that there are a ton of subscribers on that account already.

    After much anticipation, Cena has unveiled his first video on the platform, teasing content related to fisting.

    New OF Video Drop More fisting than you may be ready for. R U BRAVE ENOUGH?

    If you’re interested in John Cena’s OnlyFans account for Ricky Stanicky, you can find that link here.

    Randy Orton also commented on John Cena’s leap onto OnlyFans. He proposed that they do a collab. This idea was warmly welcomed by Cena as well.

    What is Ricky Stanicky

    The upcoming movie Ricky Stanicky features John Cena, Zac Efron, Andrew Santino, and Anja Savcic. The plot centers on an imaginary friend named Ricky Stanicky who becomes real. Cena portrays Ricky Stanicky in the film.

    Three childhood friends invented Ricky Stanicky twenty years ago and continue to blame him for their immature actions. When their partners want to meet Ricky, the friends hire washed-up actor Rod to impersonate him. However, Rod’s portrayal becomes problematic, leading the friends to regret creating Ricky.

    Ricky Stanicky will be available for streaming on April 7th on Amazon Prime. They are making a point to advertise the film as an R-Rated comedy, so odds are they will not pull any punches. Parents may want to keep their children away from this one.

  • The Miz Stuck In Dressing Room Before WWE RAW As People Struggled To Free Him

    The Miz Stuck In Dressing Room Before WWE RAW As People Struggled To Free Him

    WWE Superstars put themselves at risk whenever they are in the ring. It turns out that there are certainly unexpected dangers outside the ring as well. The Miz knows this all too well after this week’s episode of RAW.

    The Miz uploaded a social media video to reveal that he was stuck in his locker room. It’s unknown what caused this issue, but the door was jammed shut and would not open. This was despite several people trying hard to break him free.

    The A-Lister Was Stuck

    The Miz didn’t seem worried about being stuck in his locker room. That being said, he was still in that situation, although he took the scene in with a smile.

    The former WWE Champion traveled all the way to San Jose, California for RAW this week, but he never expected for this to happen. He simply shut his locker room door behind him, and the room decided he wasn’t leaving.

    The Miz explained that he was only in the room for about ten minutes prior to recording his video. Still, it was a bit of a concerning scenario if he couldn’t make it out.

    As he heard people try to break him out of that room, The Miz remarked that he may or may not be on RAW this week. That all depends on whether he can get out of that room. He had a television and water, so at least he could watch the show if they were unsuccessful in their escape mission.

    SEScoops will have more on this story as additional information is known. We’re sending out our best to The Miz, and we’re very glad that he didn’t suffer from a sudden case of claustrophobia. 

  • Ric Flair, Dave Meltzer & More React to the Passing of Wrestling Great Ole Anderson

    Ric Flair, Dave Meltzer and more have reacted to the passing of pro wrestling legend Ole Anderson. 

    Ole Anderson, a significant figure in professional wrestling, has passed away at the age of 81. The news of Ole Anderson’s death was initially shared by Ricky Morton, who posted the announcement on Instagram. Our sympathies go out to his family, friends, and fans during this difficult time. As a member of the Four Horsemen, Ole will always be remembered for his impact on the sport.

    The pro wrestling world is reacting after Ole Anderson’s passing broke. WWE sent out a tribute post for Ole during RAW this week.

    AEW also sent out a tribute post for Ole Anderson on Twitter/X. Although he was never with the company, Ole still meant a ton to a lot of people within the company, and he helped shape pro wrestling history.

    Kris Zellner posted a tribute to Twitter/X, as he gave Ole credit for his booking genius. 

    Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter also tweeted out after Ole’s passing broke. He gave him credit for being such a great heel, and a fantastic talker on the microphone, as he drove heat for his programs for years. 

    Ric Flair also sent out a tribute for his Four Horseman brother. The Nature Boy thanked Ole Anderson for everything he did for his career, including bringing him to Crockett Promotions in the first place. 

    Tommy Dreamer sent out a tribute as well, as he had some words to remember Ole’s legend. The Innovator of Violence said he watched Ole wrestle thousands of times as well. 

    One of the original members of the Four Horsemen, alongside Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and JJ Dillon, Ole played a crucial role in shaping the industry. Throughout his career, spanning from 1967 to 1990, he held NWA titles in various promotions and territories.

    This was a great loss for the pro wrestling world, and Ole Anderson’s legend certainly received a ton of respect today. You can check out a few more tributes in the space below. RIP Ole.

  • Seth Rollins Is Open To Pulling Double Duty At WrestleMania 40

    Seth Rollins Is Open To Pulling Double Duty At WrestleMania 40

    With Roman Reigns firmly shielded by The Bloodline, which now also includes Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Cody Rhodes seems to have found a shield of his own in the form of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. 

    Recognizing that Rhodes would once again be outnumbered in his pursuit of Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, and in his recent challenge to The Rock, Rollins has graciously offered to act as back-up for Rhodes in both scenarios.

    As Rollins continues to boast support for Rhodes, fans have begun speculating that WWE may be building toward a potential WrestleMania tag team match that would pit Rollins and Rhodes against The Rock and Roman Reigns.

    WrestleMania 40

    While Rollins is already set to defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 40, he is open to pulling double duty at the two-night premium live event for a potential crack at Reigns, The Rock, or whoever else may step in his path.

    Here’s what Rollins said on Submission Radio:

    “I don’t know how the cards are going to fall. I don’t know which way the chips are going to go. I’m open to doing whatever is going to be the best right, whatever’s going to be the biggest thing we can possibly do.”

    Building the legacy of the World Heavyweight Championship

    As of this writing, Seth Rollins is 275 days into his reign as WWE World Heavyweight champion. As the first man to hold this ‘new’ championship in its current lineage, it’s important for him to set the tone of what the belt stands for. 

    “I really want to give this championship the showcase that it deserves, and if that means pulling double duty, if that means putting it on the line against The Rock or Roman or whoever, I don’t care. I don’t care what it is. I want to give this thing what it deserves. I want to give it prop it up as much as possible.” 

    However, Rollins has another priority. He wants to make the biggest moments possible at WrestleMania. That could be in a World Heavyweight title defense, or it could involve Cody Rhodes, The Rock and Roman Reigns. 5 weeks out from WrestleMania, even he’s unsure how things will play out.

    “There’s tons of different ways it could go and I’m stoked to see what the ride’s going to look like.”

    Though unconfirmed by WWE at this point, a recent report has suggested that a tag team match between Rock/Reigns and Rollins/Rhodes has been discussed as a possible headliner for night one of WrestleMania 40. 

  • Becky Lynch: “I Think It’s Very Likely” Conor McGregor Shows Up In WWE

    Becky Lynch: “I Think It’s Very Likely” Conor McGregor Shows Up In WWE

    Conor McGregor is a showman who made millions in the UFC while using a WWE formula to hype himself and bring controversy. With UFC and WWE under the same TKO umbrella, this makes Notorious’ inclusion in an upcoming WWE angle even more likely.

    Becky Lynch was recently asked about the chances of Notorious coming into WWE. She is a fellow Irish entertainer, and she won’t say “no” to a possible appearance by McGregor, since anything is possible in WWE.

    During a recent interview with Submission Radio, The Man was asked about the chances of Conor McGregor showing up on WWE television. After all, TKO arranged for Michael Chandler to appear on RAW to call out his longtime rival.

    The 2024 Elimination Chamber match winner watched Chandler’s promo on Raw and could see Conor McGregor following suit.

    “I believe he’s influenced by the WWE. I think it’s very likely, I think it’s very likely,” Lynch said of Conor McGregor appearing in WWE, via Submission Radio.

    Before Lynch could finish her thought on McGregor’s possible WWE involvement, Kevin Owens interrupted and diverted the conversation, taking over the interview. 

    We will have to see if Conor ever finds his way to WWE. Countless Superstars have spoken about this hypothetical scenario. Jey Uso  recently named Conor McGregor as the celeb he wants to see enter the WWE Universe.

    The road to WrestleMania 40 is sure to include more surprises ahead. With WWE’s affiliation with UFC and the never-ending need to generate as much publicity as possible for the next big show, stay tuned for our continued coverage of this interesting situation.

  • Austin Theory: Injury Scare On 1/12 WWE SmackDown Could Have Ended My Career (Or Worse)

    Austin Theory and Carmelo Hayes endured a scary sequence of events on the January 12 episode of WWE SmackDown. 

    The moment in question occurred when Theory looked to hit Hayes with an Avalanche Spanish Fly from the top rope. Unfortunately, both competitors seemed to awkwardly land on their heads, which prompted the referee to signal for an immediate match stop. 

    While there was initial concern about possible concussions, both Hayes and Theory turned out to be okay, later facing off in a rematch two weeks later. 

    Injury Scare

    In a recent interview with The West Australian, Theory provided more details on his injury scare, revealing that it was Hayes’ foot accidentally hitting the top rope that caused their awkward descent. Luckily, both men were ultimately able to walk away with minimal damage. 

    “In this scenario with Carmelo Hayes, [I was] going for a move I’ve done plenty of times. Just so happens as we’re going through the rotation, if you go back and look, the back of his foot as he’s rotating off, hits the top rope. So all the momentum of us rotating, when his foot hits, it takes us straight down,” Theory said.

    “Just based off of the video, it looks insane. And to be honest, after that, I seriously could have been paralyzed or my career could have been done. I could have been seriously hurt, broke my neck. There’s so many factors, but luckily as we came down, for some reason, I let go to catch myself and I turned my head all the way to the left.”

    “When we landed, the back of his head hit my face pretty hard, but when we were laying there, I was fine. I didn’t feel like rocked or lost or that feeling of ‘Oh, what’s going on you?’ I felt fine, but at the same time, that’s such a a scary moment, especially when you’re out there and something goes wrong and doesn’t feel right. Then seeing the video footage back of myself upside down literally on the top of my head — Wow. Very grateful for that.”

    Coming off of this close call, Theory added that the Avalanche Spanish Fly is now officially retired from his moveset. While Theory was fortunate to avoid a concussion, he did note that his face was “pretty sore” from the impact of Hayes’ head colliding with his face.

  • Seth Rollins Critiques UFC Fighter Michael Chandler’s Promo on WWE RAW

    Seth Rollins Critiques UFC Fighter Michael Chandler’s Promo on WWE RAW

    In September 2023, the merger between WWE and UFC was officially finalized, meaning that both entities now exist under the same umbrella — TKO Group Holdings. Given this development, fans of both organizations have raised questions about a potential crossover. Last Monday, fans got a taste of just that.

    On last week’s episode of WWE RAW in Anaheim, California, ring announcer Samathan Irvin introduced UFC fighter Michael Chandler, who promptly received a microphone in his hand to speak. 

    The appearance was brief, but Chandler cut a spirited promo in which he demanded that fellow UFC fighter Conor McGregor get his “candy a** back to the Octagon” so they could settle their unfinished business. 

    McGregor last fought at UFC 264 in July 2021, where he sustained a broken leg in his bout against Dustin Poirier.

    Seth Rollins’ Critique

    Seth Rollins, a 20-year veteran in the wrestling and promo game, provided his assessment of Chandler’s promo during a recent interview with Submission Radio.

    Though Chandler’s speaking segment had its imperfections, Rollins praises him for injecting vibrancy and authenticity into it.

    “You could tell he had the adrenaline coursing through his veins a little bit,” Rollins said. “He could have slowed down a bit, have a little fun. He needs some work, but pretty good. I think for a first ride, it was real, it was from the heart.

    He’s cool man, he’s a big fan of what we do. Ge understands the entertainment aspect of kind of the fight gam. So I dug it, man, and I hope he gets what he wants.”

  • Nick Kiniski, Son of Gene, Claims He Was Sexually Propositioned By Terry Garvin in the WWF

    Nick Kiniski, the son of wrestling World Champion Gene Kiniski, has claimed he was propositioned by Terry Garvin during his days competing for the WWF. 

    The younger Kiniski competed for the World Wrestling Federation from 1986 to 1987. Outside of the promotion, he also wrestled for WCCW and the AWA. His sole championship accomplishment came in Texas All-Star Wrestling where he held the Tag Team Titles with Paul Diamond. 

    Nick Kiniski Speaks

    During an episode of Pollock and Thurston, Kiniski claimed he was forced to deal with unwanted advances from Terry Garvin, who was a WWF employee at the time. 

    He would come up to me and hit on me … I won’t say what he said, but you’ll understand the meaning behind it. He says ‘Hey Nick, let me perform oral sex on you, you can read a Playboy and you’ll have it made for life.’ And, you know, he is my boss, he controls my boss. This is my livelihood, what I want to do,

    “I kind of joked with him, I said ‘Hey Terry, you know, I’m not that way. But if I ever change, you’ll be the first. I’ll let you be the first.’ We just kinda laughed it off. But he was always kind of coming up and joking, and one time he came to my hotel room late at night and I told him to leave. Knocked at the door. So, it put me in a very awkward position, you know?

    Kiniski stated that he informed Vince McMahon of the situation while the WWF was hosting events in Oregon. 

    “I said ‘Hey, Vince, I don’t think this is right. Terry’s hitting on me. I don’t appreciate that and I would like it to stop.’ And Vince said ‘Oh, ok. I’ll deal with it.’ And that was it.”

    Kiniski stated that nothing changed and that Garvin would continue to pester him about his “proposition.” Shortly after, Kiniski would be pulled from matches, meaning he wasn’t earning. Believing this was in response to not giving into Garvin, Kiniski challenged McMahon on the matter. 

    “I said ‘This isn’t right, Vince. I complain, and now you guys are punishing me. I’ll finish my bookings, but I’m not putting any guys over. Put me in the ring we’ll see what happens… I’m done.’ I said, ‘I’ll finish my matches,’ ‘Nope, you’re done now.’ ‘Thank you very much.’”

    Allegations Against Terry Garvin

    Nick Kiniski is not the first man to allege that Garvin was inappropriate. Barry Orton, the brother of Bob Orton Jr. and uncle to Randy Orton, accused Garvin of sexually assaulting him in 1978. Orton would later say he was blackballed by the industry for speaking out about it.

    Gargin resigned from the WWF in 1992 alongside ring announcer Mel Phillips and Pat Patterson in the wake of the Ring Boy Scandal. The scandal revolved around the alleged sexual harassment of an underage ring boy, who was fired after refusing Garvin’s advances. Garvin died of stomach cancer on August 18, 1998, at the age of 61.

  • WWE Star Piper Niven Forced Out Of Action With Injury Setback

    WWE Superstars give their all in the ring, and injuries can pop up at any moment. Now, Piper Niven has suffered a big blow to her momentum. She is out of action with an injury, and this is never good on the road to WrestleMania. 

    Piper Niven is currently out of action with a hand injury. There is a current fear that it is broken, and that explains her absence from WWE television.

    Piper Niven’s Injury

    According to a new report from Fightful Select, Piper Niven has been out of action with a hand injury, and the thought is that it is broken. 

    Although she last competed alongside Chelsea Green on WWE Main Event in St. Louis, where they faced Natalya & Tegan Nox in a losing effort, Niven was notably absent from the Elimination Chamber Qualifying Last Chance Battle Royal. This absence has sparked speculation among fans. 

    Although she has been active on social media, it appears that this would explain the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion’s absence. We’re Wishing Piper a speedy recovery.

    Piper Niven’s Road in WWE

    In 2017, WWE reached out to her for the Mae Young Classic tournament. She was granted permission by World of Sport Wrestling to compete and used the ring name Piper Niven. During the tournament, she defeated Santana Garrett and Serena Deeb before being eliminated by Toni Storm in the quarterfinals.

    Niven made her debut in NXT UK in 2019, confronting Rhea Ripley. Her first televised match occurred on WWE Worlds Collide, where she defeated Zelina Vega. She later competed in a battle royal for a title opportunity but was eliminated by Xia Brookside. Niven contended for the NXT UK Women’s Championship but was unsuccessful in her attempts against Kay Lee Ray.

    In June 2021, Niven transitioned to Raw as Doudrop, aligned with Eva Marie. She later turned against Marie at SummerSlam, beginning a feud between them. Despite a series of matches and appearances, including competing in the Queen’s Crown tournament, Doudrop’s tenure on Raw was marked by various challenges and opportunities.

    In 2022, Doudrop challenged Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Championship but was unsuccessful. She also participated in the Elimination Chamber match for a title opportunity at WrestleMania 38. Following this, she pursued the WWE 24/7 Championship and formed a tag team with Nikki A.S.H. However, due to illness, Doudrop took a hiatus from competition.

    Returning as Piper Niven in 2023, she competed in the Royal Rumble match and later partnered with Chelsea Green to capture the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Their reign saw successful defenses against various challengers until they were dethroned by Kayden Carter and Katana Chance. Now, Piper is ready to start her next chapter in WWE, but she will have to wait out this injury situation first.

    What’s Next

    Since Piper Niven’s injury, Chelsea Green has been active in singles competition, participating in the battle royal and securing a win on WWE Main Event against Tegan Nox. We extend our wishes for Piper Niven’s swift recovery.

    SEScoops will have more on this story as more updates are made available. 

  • Randy Orton Furious At Man Using RKO To Attack Strangers: Send Him To Prison

    Randy Orton Furious At Man Using RKO To Attack Strangers: Send Him To Prison

    WWE legend Randy Orton is furious with a video clip that is going around on social media. 

    Randy Orton’s has a unique move-set and it includes RKO which is synonymous with his name. The lightning-fast cutter which he executes out of nowhere, catches his opponents off guard and has won him several championships in his decorated career. He’s hit the move in some of the most unexpected ways on several occasions, scripting iconic moments in WWE. 

    Orton Responds to the RKO Attacker

    A few years back, Orton hitting the RKO became a popular meme on the internet and the fans started dropping hilarious edited clips of him hitting his finisher. 

    Now, a video has surfaced on Twitter/X which caught the attention of Randy Orton himself and it features a fan hitting RKO on random strangers. In one of the ridiculous developments, the man even executed the move on disabled people. 

    ‘The Viper’ was furious when he took note of the clip and stated that the man needs to be hit with Orton’s popular Punt Kick to the head and should be put in prison for assault.

    “Bring the punt kick back and give him a good ol case of CTE ya later plus 5 years in prison for assault.”

    Randy Orton’s Punt Kick

    The Punt Kick reference is related to the devastating finishing move the Viper used during the late 2000’s when he was a ruthless heel establishing himself as the legend we know him as today. 

    Orton He targeted the head of a grounded opponent and delivered a devastating kick similar to a punt in American football. However, the move was banned due to its high risk of giving the superstars a concussion.

    Orton recently competed in the Elimination Chamber match at the namesake premium live event that took place last weekend in Perth, Australia. The match was won by Drew McIntyre who will be challenging Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania 40.

  • WWE Star Says UFC’s Best & Most Marketable Fighters Are Wrestling Fans

    WWE Star Says UFC’s Best & Most Marketable Fighters Are Wrestling Fans

    While his path may have led him to professional wrestling, Grayson Waller has drawn heavy inspiration from athletes in other combat sports, such as boxing and mixed martial arts.

    During a recent interview with Submission Radio, Waller opened up about some of the figures who’ve influenced him, one of which is former UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor.

    “I think the best and most marketable UFC fighters are wrestling fans,” Waller said. “If you look back in history, Ronda Rousey, Conor McGregor, and Chael Sonnen, they were wrestling fans. They used parts of wrestling for their character and that’s why they make so much money. You have a lot of people trying to do that now, but it’s not easy what we do. A guy like Colby Covington is trying his best, but I don’t think he actually knows what we do, and he’s trying his best.”

    Last year, Waller laid out his vision for WWE to pair him with McGregor for a WrestleMania tag team match. Given that WWE is now merged with the UFC under TKO Group Holdings, and WWE is now on course to WrestleMania, it seems even more possible that Waller’s vision may become a reality. 

    Boxing Greats

    Within the realm of boxing, Waller is particularly moved by the likes of Muhammad Ali and Prince Naseem, both of whom have been indicted into the WrestleMania event. referee for the main event of the inaugural WrestleMania event.International Boxing Hall of Fame. 

    “I took huge inspiration even from like Muhammad Ali [and] Prince Naseem from boxing,” Waller continued. “Just that confidence and swagger of like ‘I don’t care who you are lad. I’m going to walk in and show you who I am.’ So I’ve always taken a lot of inspiration from those guys, especially the way they carry themselves, but also, they weren’t afraid to say what they thought.”

    Wrestling fans, of course, may also recall Ali being a special guest for WrestleMania 1’s main event match that pitted Hulk Hogan and Mr. T against Paul Orndorff and Roddy Piper.

  • WWE Discussing The Rock/Roman Reigns Vs. Cody Rhodes/Seth Rollins for WrestleMania 40

    WWE Discussing The Rock/Roman Reigns Vs. Cody Rhodes/Seth Rollins for WrestleMania 40

    The WWE Universe may be mere weeks away from seeing The Rock team with Roman Reigns to face Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes. 

    Despite their past differences, Rhodes and Rollins have been united in their efforts against The Bloodline. When The Rock slapped Cody at the WrestleMania 40 kick-off event, Rollins immediately provided back-up for his Monday Night Raw compatriot. 

    The Bloodline Vs. Rollins/Rhodes

    At WWE Elimination Chamber 2024, Cody Rhodes challenged The Rock to go one-on-one. Rollins advised Rhodes that it is never one-on-one when it comes to The Bloodline and vowed to have Cody’s back if the match happens. 

    This segment left many speculating that a tag-team match between The Bloodline and Rollins/Rhodes is in the works. On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that he’s heard that the match could headline night one of WrestleMania 40. While some had speculated on the match being held off (potentially for one of WWE’s Saudi Arabia events) it now seems the fans won’t have to wait so long.

    What This Means for WrestleMania

    If this match goes ahead at WrestleMania 40, it’ll mean that Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Cody Rhodes will be performing double-duty at the event. Rhodes and Reigns will face off for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in what will almost certainly be the main event of WrestleMania 40: Sunday.

    Rollins will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre, who earned the title match by winning the Men’s Elimination Chamber match. If the tag-match goes ahead, it’ll virtually guarantee that the World Heavyweight Championship match will not headline WrestleMania 40: Saturday.

    Ronda Rousey’s future in pro-wrestling remains unclear, but fans will get the chance to see her in Philadelphia this April. 

    The Baddest Woman on the Planet left WWE following the MMA Rules match with Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam 2023. Rousey requested to work with Baszler to ensure her friend and mentor a high-profile spot on WWE TV. As she told SE Scoops. Baszler is happy to take full credit for running Rousey out of WWE.

    Rousey’s Next Appearance 

    In October of last year, Rousey made a surprise return to wrestling, reigniting speculation about her future in the ring. The following month, she appeared for Ring of Honor but is not signed to the promotion. 

    Now, fans will get the chance to see Rousey again, albeit outside the squared circle. WrestleCon’s official Twitter page has announced that Ronda Rousey will be making her appearance at the event during WrestleMania 40 weekend. The former Women’s Champion will be signing copies of her upcoming memoir and taking photos with fans. 

    WWE WrestleMania Week

    While Rousey will be in Philadelphia, there’s no word on a potential surprise appearance at the two-night event. Several events from various promotions will take place over the week.

  • Vince Russo: John Cena Is Going to Be Killed over Vince McMahon Comments

    John Cena’s recent comments about Vince McMahon and the lawsuit against him will come back to haunt him, according to Vince Russo.

    McMahon stepped down from WWE one month ago due to the shocking allegations made against him in Janel Grant’s lawsuit. McMahon has claimed that the litigation is rife with fabrications and has claimed he is completely innocent. Former WWE executive John Laurinaitis, who is named in the suit, has claimed he is a victim, not a predator, in this situation.

    Cena’s Comments

    Few WWE Superstars have closer ties to McMahon than John Cena who owes a wealth of success to McMahon’s booking of him in the 2000s and 2010s. When asked about the allegations, Cena did speak about accountability but also spoke about his deep love the the ex-WWE Chairman.

    Vince Russo on John Cena

    Many have taken issue with Cena’s comments, believing he put too much emphasis on his love and respect for McMahon as opposed to the allegations made by Miss Grant. Sitting down with Sportskeeda, Vince Russo shared his surprise over this blunder by the usually well-spoken Cena.

    “I am reading Cena’s comments, and I am like, he is going to get hammered for this… I knew Cena was going to get killed for this. There is no way he is NOT gonna get killed for this. I just wish he would have said, you know, you could love him.”

    Russo added that Cena isn’t the only Superstar who’s comments about McMahon missed the mark. 

    “Same thing with Orton, you know, ‘made your career,’ this that and the other thing. But man if it’s me, I am gonna say all that, but I am also gonna say, ‘But if he is found guilty of these charges… he is gonna have to take full responsibility.’ At least say something like that.”

    What’s Next? 

    John Cena is hoping to do ‘something’ at WrestleMania 40, which is now less than 40 days away. Cena hasn’t appeared for WWE since his Crown Jewel 2023 loss to Solo Sikoa. At this time, there are no confirmed plans for Cena this April in Philadelphia. 

  • The Rock Confirms His Next WWE TV Appearances On The Road To WrestleMania 40

    The Rock will be at several upcoming WWE television appearances on the road to WrestleMania 40. He’s now aligned with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline and is an integral part of Cody Rhodes’ journey to Finish The Story on April 7.

    Just six weeks out from WWE’s biggest event of the year, we now have a better idea of which shows The Rock will be attending in the weeks ahead. 

    We knew The Rock will return this week on Friday Night SmackDown from Glendale, Arizona. He’s now confirmed on Instagram that he’ll be at the March 8th SmackDown from Dallas, TX and the following week’s show (3/15) from Memphis, TN.

    WrestleMania 40 Plans Changed

    Changes occurred on the WrestleMania 40 card due to various reasons, such as injuries or other factors. Of course, fan reaction played a huge part in it this year.

    The Rock initially pushed for a match with Roman Reigns at the event, but faced backlash from fans, leading to a shift in plans. Then, The Rock conceded that Cody Rhodes should get that spot instead, so he can finish his story.

    Fans will see Cody Rhodes challenge Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania 40. WWE seems to be setting up a tag team match featuring Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins against Reigns and The Rock at the event.

Friendship sometimes transcends the kayfabe or workup the other and there may be ramifications or there may not. Sting was there for me at three in the morning when I had my motorcycle wreck and they wanted to cut my arm off and kind of stopped the doctors from cutting my arm off. So people could read into that what they want, on whether I might be at the building or not. I won’t confirm anything, but I’m just saying. I’ll leave it in that context. How’s that?”

  • The Undertaker Reveals What Could Have Extended His WWE Career

    The Undertaker Reveals What Could Have Extended His WWE Career

    WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker seemingly wanted to carry on with his in-ring career for a few more years. But he couldn’t. Well, what if he got a tour bus sooner?

    The Undertaker is an iconic figure in WWE and has carved an unparalleled legacy spanning over three decades. Making his debut in 1990, his ominous presence and legendary streak at WrestleMania captivated the fans worldwide. 

    Throughout his illustrious career, he held multiple world championships and was embroiled in memorable rivalries. His retirement in 2020 marked the end of an era and received a farewell with a cinematic match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36. ‘The Phenom’ has certainly left an indelible impact in the pro wrestling world.

    Over the last few decades, pro wrestling world has seen major shifts in the culture and The Undertaker has seen it all. He has now spoken candidly about the introduction of tour buses for the WWE Superstars.

    The Undertaker feels the tour buses could have helped in extending his WWE run

    Speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker talked about how much the service of tour buses has increased longevity for WWE Superstars.

    “There’s a lot of talent buses, you got crew buses. Hell, there’s 30 semis full of their sets,” said Undertaker.

    Reflecting about his own time on a tour bus, Taker said that most of that was for after his matches to take better care of himself. ‘The Phenom’ stated that he believes he would have had higher quality matches and lasted longer as a full-time performer if he had taken more care of himself.

    “I would have had higher quality matches, I would have I think I mean, even I lasted for as long as I did. I think I might have even lasted longer if I had been able to take that kind of care of myself. The struggle for me those last seven-eight years, it was just health. There was nothing really that happened or could happen that I didn’t feel I had a grasp on how to handle it or how to make it work. That part was second nature at that point, but physically trying to perform and keep myself at a level where I could perform.”

    Undertaker went on to poke fun that if he had a few more nights of sleep in the 90s, he might have been performing, perhaps at a high level. He said:

    “If I got on the bus sooner, and maybe slept a few more nights in the 90s? Hell, I might be still wrestling right now. Yeah, at a high level,” he joked. “It would have helped, but the 90s, I started in a hole.”

    The Undertaker currently performs 1 deadMAN show where he is seen in an intimate setting and shares never-before-heard stories followed by taking questions from the WWE Universe in attendance.

  • Ric Flair Turns 75: Charlotte Shares Heartwarming Birthday Tribute To Her Father

    Charlotte Flair has shared her tribute to her legendary father Ric Flair as the Nature Boy has turned 75 years old. 

    Born February 25, 1949, Flair is considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Flair is already a two-time WWE Hall of Famer and was the first inductee to receive a second nod. Flair is also hopeful for a third WWE Hall of Fame induction for his role in Evolution. 

    In October of last year, Flair joined AEW and has been part of Sting’s retirement run. The pair were fierce rivals in the NWA and WCW and competed in the final WCW match during the March 26, 2001, edition of WCW Monday Nitro. 

    Ric Flair’s Birthday Wish

    As a megastar in wrestling, Flair’s birthday earned a ton of well-wishes from fans around the world. On Twitter, Charlotte shared a heartfelt message to her father, saying her love for him is as big as the sky. The Younger Flair included a photo of herself, Ric, and her husband Andrade El Idolo. 

    AEW also shared its birthday wish to the legendary wrestler. 

    In a tweet of his own, Ric Flair was grateful for the well-wishes by fans. 

    What’s Next? 

    Charlotte suffered an injury in December of last year that has kept the Queen out of action ever since. Flair recently said that she is ahead of her recovery time-frame in positive news from the former Women’s Champion. The Queen was spotted at WWE’s Performance Center with John Cena last week. 

  • Randy Orton: Giving Back To The Business Is So Important to Me Right Now

    Randy Orton is motivated by giving back to the wrestling business in the latter stages of his career with WWE. 

    Orton is one of WWE’s most decorated Superstars, with 14 World Championships, a Grand Slam, and two Royal Rumble victories to his name. The Viper returned to TV at last year’s Survivor Series: WarGames event after a severe back injury nearly ended his wrestling career. 

    Randy Orton On His Role in WWE

    Speaking for his A&E Biography: Legends episode, Orton addressed the importance of giving back to the business that has done so much for him. 

    “I’d say paying it forward, giving back to the business [is the most important thing to me at this stage of my career.] Just helping out the guys who need the help. When I was coming up, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Triple H, all these guys. They made sure to instill in me as many good habits as they could. Here I am, 20 years later and a lot of things come full circle.”

    WWE Superstars on Randy Orton

    Borrowing a line from his WWE return promo, Cody Rhodes spoke about his mentor, and how despite Orton often being against authority, he has become a moral compass. 

    “The path we take to avoid our destiny is often the one that leads us directly to it. I think Randy senses that he is now in a position where he can leave the industry better than he found it.

    Cody also recognized the irony of Orton of all people now being a person who is looked to as a leader given his often controversial actions in the past. 

    For an individual who has [been] so adamantly against rules and structure and management, the irony is that he’s become such a great leader. 

    Seth Rollins, who was Orton’s first feud after his 2015 WWE World Heavyweight Championship win, was appreciative of all the Viper does. 

    “He’s really taken on the responsibility of helping out the younger generation.”

    The Miz, who defeated Orton in November 2010 to win his first of two WWE Championships, also had praise for the Viper. 

    “Yeah he’s a locker room leader now [but] he didn’t have to be either. But he took on that role because he cares about this business. And he doesn’t get the credit. He’ll never get the credit that he deserves. Until now hopefully.”

    What’s Next? 

    At last weekend’s WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 event, Orton competed in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match. The Viper was able to eliminate Logan Paul but was attacked by the Maverick with brass knuckles afterward. The match was won by Drew McIntyre. Given what happened in Perth, it has been rumored that Orton and Paul will face off at WrestleMania 40.

  • WWE Hires Retired Indie Wrestler For Latest Creative Team Addition

    WWE has many hours of television to fill, and they are always open to good ideas. The company will also bring in fresh minds from time to time so liven things up. Now, we can confirm that they have hired an indie wrestler for that part of the company.

    WWE Hires New Writer’s Assistant

    WWE’s internal hirings don’t go public very often, unless it’s a newsworthy event. They have posted openings for their creative team in recent memory, and now they have hired Patrick Scott to join the company.

    Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net reported that WWE has hired a new writer for their team. Patrick Scott, who is a retired indie wrestler, is now joining WWE’s creative team as a writer’s assistant for the SmackDown brand. His start date was not disclosed in the report.

    Sources have confirmed to me that Independent Wrestler Patrick Scott has been hired by WWE has the new writer’s assistant for SmackDown, and is said to be starting this Monday.

    Patrick Scott Speaks Out

    Scott has previously posted on social media to indicate that a big career change is coming. He promised to have more updates soon as he posed a photo to illustrate this transition.

    I’ll have a lot more to say in the coming days. For now, I will just say this… Thank you.

    SEScoops would like to congratulate Patrick Scott for this great opportunity. He is joining WWE’s team as they embark on the road to WrestleMania, an event that will likely be an all-hands-on-deck kind of situation creatively.

  • Becky Lynch Speaks on Her WWE Experience In Response To Vince McMahon Allegations

    Becky Lynch Speaks on Her WWE Experience In Response To Vince McMahon Allegations

    Vince McMahon was forced to resign from WWE a second time when Janel Grant filed a damning lawsuit that alleged him of heinous acts including sex trafficking, assault, and more. The locker room is starting to speak out on the matter, and now it is Becky Lynch’s turn.

    Becky Lynch Speaks on Vince McMahon Allegations

    During an interview with Inside the Ropes prior to yesterday’s WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth, Becky Lynch was questioned about the allegations against Vince McMahon.

    Becky Lynch responded, “I’ve been fortunate in my career that I’ve always felt supported by the company. These allegations are horrible. It’s hard to reconcile, as a talent and as a woman, but my experience in WWE has only ever been amazing.”

    The Man went on to explain that, in the beginning of her time in WWE, the company limited talent. They pushed through that, and she has had a great ride in the company. Those words were spoken in a solemn tone, because Lynch realized that not everyone can say the same about their experience. 

    “Yes, in the beginning, there were some restrictions put on things. We couldn’t punch, we had to hair pull, there were weird things there. Being able to push us forward, push women forward, I’m very grateful for that and the opportunity to even have my family. This company…some of these things are hard to reconcile.”

    Becky Lynch won the 2024 Women’s Elimination Chamber match. Now, she will go onto WrestleMania 40, where she will take on Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s World Title.

    Other WWE Superstar Reactions To Vince McMahon Allegations

    Randy Orton also addressed Vince McMahon, expressing that the allegations against him were heartbreaking. The Apex Predator further acknowledged that he owes his entire career to Mr. McMahon.

    John Cena also spoke out about this situation, but he also stated that he still loves McMahon. They went through a lot over the years, and Cena was as frank as he could while speaking on the Howard Stern Show.

    Kevin Owens has also reacted to the Vince McMahon allegations in recent memory. He condemned McMahon’s actions as he spoke carefully on the subject.

    As of this writing, WWE has handed down no directive to any talent saying that they are not allowed to speak about Vince McMahon’s situation. Obviously, they are speaking out as this question comes up, and the number of Superstars who are speaking out on the matter is likely to grow as time goes on.

  • WWE RAW Preview (2/26): Elimination Chamber Fallout, Imperium vs New Day Street Fight

    WWE RAW Preview (2/26): Elimination Chamber Fallout, Imperium vs New Day Street Fight

    WWE RAW’s February 26th episode will go down in the SAP Center in San Jose, California. The episode promises to feature fallout from the recent Elimination Chamber event held in Australia. As WrestleMania approaches, with only 40 days until the grand event, the anticipation is palpable. Let’s take a look at what WWE has booked already.

    There are currently two matches scheduled for RAW, including Sami Zayn taking on Nakamura, and a Street Fight between the New Day and Imperium. Additionally, Drew McIntyre emerged victorious in the Elimination Chamber, earning the opportunity to challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. Furthermore, Becky Lynch secured a significant victory in the Elimination Chamber, earning the right to challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship at the upcoming WrestleMania 40 event.

    • Sami Zayn vs. Nakamura
    • Street Fight: New Day vs Imperium

    Raw Preview (2/26/24)

    Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

    Zayn and Nakamura were excluded from WWE’s Elimination Chamber booking. They already had this contest booked for RAW, and both men have a lot to prove. Sami is still trying to find his footing, and his eyes are on GUNTHER for a WrestleMania IC Title shot. Also, Nakamura could use a big win, as his efforts to derail Cody Rhodes as he tried to finish his story were not successful.

    Street Fight: New Day vs Imperium

    New Day and Imperium have been building toward this match for a while. Both teams were left off Elimination Chamber, and odds are, they will leave it all on the table in San Jose. Since we are on the road to WrestleMania, every match is even more important, especially in a contest like this were both teams could use the boost in momentum. After Judgment Day retained their titles in Perth, it is very possible that the winner of this match will have a title match in their future.

    Drew McIntyre’s Next Move

    Drew McIntyre won Elimination Chamber to challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. The Scottish Warrior will be there to really start his WrestleMania build, something that he has actually been at work on for a while now.

    Becky Lynch Celebrates Road to WrestleMANia

    Becky Lynch won Elimination Chamber to challenge Rhea Ridley for the Women’s World championship at WrestleMania 40 as well. With both Chamber winners coming out of the red brand, it seems that this week’s episode of WWE RAW is more must-see than ever.

    SEScoops will have more coverage of WWE RAW as updates are made available. Keep checking back during the show for breaking headlines!

  • WWE Star Kevin Owens Condemns Vince McMahon Allegations

    Janel Grant’s blockbuster lawsuit caused Vince McMahon to resign from the company he helped build. Now, McMahon’s memory is being erased in many ways as the world takes a step back to see the man that he tried to hide for years. Some members of the locker room are now speaking out to express their shock at the whole situation.

    Kevin Owens Reacts To Vince McMahon Allegations

    The allegations against Vince McMahon sparked reactions from all over. The pro wrestling bubble was busted wide-open, as main stream outlets also picked up the story.

    Vince McMahon was responsible for booking Kevin Owens as Universal Champion, his WrestleMania main event match against “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and so much more. He may owe McMahon a lot for giving him those opportunities, but it doesn’t change the heinous allegations of sex trafficking, assault, and abuse that Janel Granted included in her lawsuit.

    While speaking to Alex McCarthy of Daily Mail, Owens spoke out against the allegations.

    “Everything that has come out is awful. Just terrible.   There’s really no words to describe how sad this makes me feel. If the people spoke out went through what they went through, that’s terrible. It’s shameful and it can’t ever happen again. That’s what it comes down to.”

    Other Reactions To Vince McMahon Allegations

    Randy Orton also spoke out against Vince McMahon, and he said the allegations against McMahon were heartbreaking. The Apex Predator also admitted that he owes his entire career to Mr. McMahon.

    John Cena also spoke out about this situation, but he also stated that he still loves McMahon. They went through a lot over the years, and Cena was as frank as he could while speaking on the Howard Stern Show.

    “I’ve openly said, I love the guy, I have a great relationship with the guy, and that’s that. It’s largely my construct of operating with honesty and communication. The whole thing is super unfortunate and it sucks. It deals with an individual I love and an entity I love.”

    What’s Next

    Vince McMahon will likely never be back in WWE. At this point, he has no leverage to cause a return like he saw after his first retirement stint. He cannot return with the same amount of power, and this is also comforting for some to know.

    Bill Simmons is still working on his six-part Netflix docuseries about Vince McMahon. That series will likely blow the lid off a lot of McMahon’s life, as it promises to pull no punches.
