The pro wrestling world is full of couples, and one of them just made their union official. Madcap Moss and Tenille Dashwood went through a lot together, and they were also released on the same day in September 2023. Now, they are husband and wife.
People got the exclusive tip that the former WWE Superstars are now married. They are starting their lives together and are very happy about that.
Emma and Madcap Moss Married
Former WWE Superstar Emma was released by WWE in September 2023, a move that surprised some fans, but they were largely absent from television prior to that. Her fiancé Riddick Moss also departed from WWE. Recently, it seems the couple has gotten married.
According to People, Tenille Dashwood and her longtime boyfriend, Mike Rallis, got married in a beautiful mountainside ceremony at Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii. The outlet also had exclusive photos of the nuptials.
The location held significance as it symbolically connected Melbourne, Australia, and Minnesota, the places where Dashwood and Rallis are from.
Ahead of their wedding, Dashwood expressed her anticipation for what she believes will be an extraordinary wedding, emphasizing that the primary focus is on creating a joyous atmosphere. “There’s no doubt it’s going to be an epic wedding, but the most important thing is it’s going to be so much fun,” she stated. “We want a celebration where our family and friends can enjoy themselves and have a great time.”
Rallis echoed her sentiments, highlighting the elements they have planned for the event. “Stunning scenery, delicious food, live music, and the best company we could ask for,” he added.
What’s Next for Emma and Madcap
We will have to see what Madcap Moss and Emma do next. They are doing a lot of traveling right now. Their adventures will continue as a married couple now.
We’re sending out our best to Tenille Dashwood and Mike Rallis, from everyone here at SEScoops.
WWE released several main roster Superstars in September, and although a few of them are getting out there and taking dates, one isn’t certain they will ever wrestle again.
Emma After Her WWE Release
Tenille Dashwood’s 90-day non-compete clause concluded with the rest of those releases. That was definitely not an event she mapped out for herself on any 2023 vision board.
2023 was a tough year for some, full of change and transition. As Tenille Dashwood looks back at what happened over the past twelve months, so has a lot to think about.
Now adopting the name Tenille Dashwood once again, she contemplated her future in pro wrestling, as she reflected on this year.
“2023 was filled with highs and lows. The man of my dreams proposed to me, and I lost my dream job at the company where we first met. While I’m not sure if I’ll ever wrestle again… I am sure that I’ll turn this into a positive. No restrictions, no putting things on the back burner. Time to follow my heart.”
Emma has navigated an interesting wrestling career since coming over to the United States from Australia. Years ago, she was once fired from WWE after a shoplifting incident, which was a total misunderstanding in the end, but she was brought back in a hurry. Then she was released for a much longer period of time in 2017.
Following her initial WWE tenure, she ventured into other companies like ROH and Impact Wrestling before making a WWE return in 2022. However, her second stint was brief, as she faced another release in September.
Tenille Dashwood and Madcap Moss met while they were in WWE. Then, they shared a WWE release date in September as they both received messages that their contracts were terminated.
Madcap Moss knows exactly who he’d like to wrestle against at WrestleMania 39 next year.
Since his days as the goofy sidekick to Baron Corbin have come to an end, Moss begun his journey as a singles competitor in WWE. He’s found quite a bit of success since, winning the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
However, Moss is now seeking his very own “WrestleMania moment.” The SmackDown star appeared on “WWE Deutschland” recently and discussed next year’s WrestleMania 39 show from California.
In regards to who he’d potentially like to share the ring with at the show. Moss didn’t hesitate to name the current “Honorary Uce” Sami Zayn.
“Sami Zayn, the Honorary Uce,” Madcap Moss said. “I just can’t decide how I feel about him because I just can’t take my eyes off of him. He’s so entertaining.
“But, at the time, I have my fist balled up every time I watch him and I just want to punch him right in the face at the same time … Either way he’s an unbelievable performer, you know, all craziness aside he’s one of the best on the mic, in the ring.
“You know what he did this past year at WrestleMania with Johnny, Johnny Knoxville, how fun was that match? An absolutely all time match right there.”
Moss went on to praise Zayn and the current work he’s doing on SmackDown, claiming the Bloodline member is “firing on all cylinders” at the moment.
“It feels like he is his own performer that is, every little movement he makes, every face he makes, you know, the way he talks is unique to him and it feels like a unique performance each and every week,” Moss said.
“I think he’s firing on all cylinders and I don’t think there is anyone who is more entertaining than Sami Zayn right now.”
Baron Corbin has an old school mentality of wrestling. He is not worried so much about impressing the audience with high flying moves. When Corbin is in the ring, he is more concerned with putting a good story and making everything he does mean more. Per Madcap Moss, this business approach rubbed some people the wrong way in NXT.
The young star recently had an interview with Ryan Satin on Out of Character. Speaking about his early interactions with Baron Corbin, Moss revealed that they became friends during Corbin’s NXT days. Though he also mentioned how The Lone Wolf’s mentality rubbed some people the wrong way:
“He was in NXT when I first got there, and honestly, me and him were always real cool. We weren’t super close. But he, you know, he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I actually appreciated his take on the business. It was just a very business-like approach. When he went up to the main roster, I really started to admire his work. The more I learned about what we did. Just the way he worked, the way he got the most out of everything that he did, the way he protected his finish all of these things.”
‘I Had No Idea’: Madcap Moss
Madcap Moss went on to join Corbin on SmackDown. This pairing helped him finally find his footing in the main roster. Speaking about how it all came together, Moss revealed that he only found out about it the day before:
“I was thoroughly entertained by the broke Corbin stuff. I had no idea that they were thinking about putting me with him or anything like that. I actually was training at the Performance Center, kind of finishing up my rehab. They told me then that I was gonna do, they had me flying out to SmackDown for a dark match. Then the day before, they told me that I’m actually gonna be debuting with Corbin.”
WWE is the biggest wrestling company in the world. Everyone who decides to pursue a career in sports entertainment naturally dreams of joining the promotion. However, not everyone prepares for it the same, and the officials have to go through dozens of potential recruits just to find a worthy signee. The story of Madcap Moss’ disastrous first tryout highlights this fact.
The SmackDown star recently appeared on Ryan Satin’s Out of Character podcast. He told a funny story from his first WWE tryout:
“The first tryout was a bit of a disaster. Not so much for me. There was only five guys total, including myself. The other four guys, with all due respect, were not ready for the intense cardio and training. So like five minutes into the first session, the other four had either pulled a muscle or were puking on the outside. I was the only one still going. As I’m doing this, there’s a legendary line in here.” said Madcap Moss, “I won’t say names but the head coach at the time asked one of the guys. He said ‘How long have you known about this tryout?’ The talent responded ‘Four weeks sir.’ He said, ‘What did you do to prepare?’ ‘Drank beer, sir.’ Everyone looks at [him and go] ‘Well, he’s honest, at least.’ Obviously, that did not go over well with the coaches
He continued: “So anyway, long story short. I went all out, and I was just by far in the best cardio shape and had the best performance. I thought, ‘well, this one’s in the bag. This one’s easy.’ At the end, they told me ‘Look, we didn’t even get to half the stuff that we normally get to. We like you and we want to see you again, but we can’t offer you a contract just based off this tryout.'”
Thankfully for Madcap, he got another tryout soon after this. The 32-year-old was offered a contract based on his second tryout and he is now entertaining fans on SmackDown.
During a recent discussion with SEScoops correspondent Steve Fall for NBC Sports Boston, Madcap Moss talked about wearing suspenders when he was introduced to the WWE audience as a new character.
Madcap Moss & Happy Corbin
On the September 24, 2021 episode of SmackDown, Riddick Moss made his televised return from injury. He attacked Kevin Owens and aligned himself with Happy Corbin. The following week, his ring name was changed to Madcap Moss. Alongside Corbin, they feud with Kevin Owens, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rick Boogs, and Drew McIntyre.
On the April 1, 2022 edition of SmackDown, Moss won the 2022 André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. On the April 8 episode of SmackDown, Happy Corbin blamed Madcap Moss for his loss at Wrestlemania 38 against Drew McIntyre.
Corbin and Moss attacked each other and the alliance came to an end. Madcap turned face and defeated Corbin at Backlash, Hell In A Cell, and on the June 17 SmackDown. Madcap Moss competed in the men’s Money In The Bank match by snagging the last spot in the match.
Prior to their split, Corbin and Moss were two peas in a pod. Corbin and Moss both displayed outlandish fashion choices and unique outfits.

The Suspenders Were Corbin’s Idea
Madcap talked with Steve Fall about how the decision came about to wear his suspenders when he was teaming with Corbin.
Moss said, “It was his call. He had the signature fedoras. He wanted me to have my own signature thing, and he gave me a choice of a few different things.
I thought the suspenders have some function to them too. You know they hold the pants up, and I decided to double up with a belt still, a lot of people gave me grief for that. I just really did not want my pants coming down during any matches.
And you know, it was unique. So, I thought it was a unique, different, and also functional look, so that’s kinda how the suspenders came about. I am happy to say at this point that I have officially ditched the suspenders though.”
Since his split from Corbin, Moss has displayed a more serious persona with new entrance music and in-ring attire.
SummerSlam 2022
Madcap’s former associate Happy Corbin is scheduled to face off with Pat McAffe at WWE SummerSlam 2022.
WWE has confirmed the following matches for SummerSlam:
Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar. This is a Last Man Standing match, and has been billed as their final confrontation.
WWE star Madcap Moss believes that former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar is underrated in what he does.
Moss was recently interviewed on “The Power Trip After Party” and spoke about Brock Lesnar. The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner had nothing but good things to say about “The Beast.”
In fact, in Moss’ view, Lesnar doesn’t get enough credit for what he’s done inside the ring. Even keeping in mind some already consider him to be an all-time great.
“To me, as good as he is considered, which I think a lot of people consider him to be an all-time great in the WWE, I still think he’s underrated,” Moss said. “I think he’s absolutely been one of the best WWE superstars of the past couple of decades in so many different ways.”
Madcap Moss even suggested he’d like to share the ring with Lesnar one day if the opportunity ever presented itself.
“We haven’t crossed paths in the ring yet, although that is something that I would love to do someday and I hope I get the chance to do,” Moss said.
Lesnar recently made his return to WWE TV on last week’s Smackdown Live. After Roman Reigns’ successfully defended his Undisputed Championship against Riddle, Lesnar hit the ring to make his WWE return.
He teased shaking Reigns’ hand, but instead hit him with an F5. Now, Reigns and Lesnar are booked to go one-on-one for the WWE Undisputed Title at SummerSlam later next month.
Lesnar’s return was his first appearance on WWE TV since WrestleMania 38. There, he dropped his WWE Championship to Reigns, who also had his Universal Title on the line in that match.
With the win, Reigns became the WWE Undisputed Champion, and has been running rampant alongside The Usos, also dual-brand champions, ever since.
One person in the group asked The Rock for advice on going beyond WWE and breaking into the world of acting as a professional wrestler. Moss shared the advice Rock gave them in that regard.
“[The Rock] came and talked to a group of us one time and someone asked him about being able to go beyond WWE and get into Hollywood and get into acting. [The Rock] said, ‘We should all want to transcend the business. We should all want to be that big of a star, but you have to master the business before you can transcend it.”
After establishing himself as one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, The Rock left WWE in favor of acting full-time in 2004. Since, he has gone on to become one of Hollywood’s biggest and most profitable stars.
The Rock has been feature din hit films and franchises such as Fast And The Furious, Jumanji, Moana, Black Adam, and so many more.
It’s no surprise that the 10-time World Champion serves as an inspiration to current WWE stars to become even bigger stars beyond the scope of professional wrestling.
Madcap Moss is one of the fastest rising stars on the WWE roster. His storyline with Baron Corbin has helped the young star evolve past his days as the 24/7 champion and develop a personality fans can get behind. Corbin who has served as a mentor to Moss in many ways, believes that the former NXT star can realistically challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Title in not-too-distant future.
The Lone Wolf recently appeared on Out of Character. The host Ryan Satin mentioned how Madcap has reached a new level in the last few months. Agreeing with it, Corbin explained that Moss has developed his personality compared to his initial days on the main roster:
“Absolutely. His personality is there which is important. Before he was just kind of like a call man, it was like a guy you created on 2K [who] you played with.” said Baron Corbin, “It was just Joe Somebody, but now his personality has really come through. It’s allowed him to show who he really is.”
He continued, “I think this whole thing, the evolution of Madcap Moss has really done good for him. I think he’s gonna be a star. I think he’s a guy that six months from now could be going to face Roman Reigns for WWE championship. I can see it now. With his ability, his in-ring work, and his psychology that he’s learned and done and then just his character development.”
Corbin is not alone as Paul Heyman has previously said that nobody has a clue about Moss’ talent and he will be a future main eventer.
One superstar on the WWE SmackDown roster believes he has what it takes to defeat Roman Reigns.
The “Tribal Chief” is the reigning WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. He was promoted to undisputed status after defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. Going into that match, Reigns was the Universal Champion, while Lesnar was the WWE Champion.
Reigns has long dominated the main event scene but could his time be running out?
“Why Not Madcap?”
(via WWE)
During an appearance on KFAN 100.3’s Power Trip Morning Show After Party Podcast, Madcap Moss expressed his belief that he can be the one to take the undisputed gold from Roman Reigns in due time.
“Then, you know, this one at this point may seem like a bit of a stretch to some people. Because the guy’s just an absolute all-time run right now. But I’d love to get a shot at Roman Reigns.
“I mean, he is the pinnacle of the business right now. He likes to say he’s in God mode, and it’s hard to disagree with him. God meaning ‘Greatness On a Different Level.’ I mean, it’s just unbelievable what he’s done over the past 8-10 years, but specifically in the last few.
“He’s really just been untouchable in every aspect of the business. But I think that someone needs to eventually dethrone the guy I look at myself and I say, ‘Why not Madcap?’ So, I got my work cut out for me.
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.“
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.
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.
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. https://t.co/VbrsXHX1uC
“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.
WWE has teased a brand new attitude for one of its SmackDown babyfaces.
For weeks, Madcap Moss and Happy Corbin have been feuding. The two used to be tag team partners until Corbin got jealous of Moss’ success.
It led to a match between the two at WrestleMania Backlash. Moss picked up the win but the rivalry is far from over.
On the May 13 episode of SmackDown, Moss had an in-ring interview when Corbin attacked him from behind. He placed his neck through a chair and crushed it with the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy.
During this past Friday’s SmackDown show, it was announced that Madcap Moss will be making his return on June 3. He said there will be no jokes or cap.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CeExOhVvLPh/
“You spit in the face of Andre’s legacy. You tried to end my career. But you didn’t – cuz Madcap is built different. Corbin, get ready to see a side of me you’ve never seen before
“No jokes. No cap. Next week on #SmackDown I’m coming to WHOOP YOUR ASS.”
While WWE played Madcap’s goofy theme and had a graphic of him with the suspenders on, commentators Michael Cole and Pat McAfee insisted that he was going to return with a new attitude.
Earlier this month, it was reported by WrestlingNews.co that ideas were pitched to give Moss a new gimmick. This would include new attire and a new theme.
It won’t be long to find out whether or not WWE goes through with such a change.
It appears a rising WWE SmackDown superstar could be getting a new look in the near future.
WrestlingNews.co reported that some within WWE have pitched the idea of dropping comedic aspects of the Madcap Moss character. Of course, this would include new attire and fresh entrance music.
New Attitude For Madcap Moss?
(via WWE)
In a follow-up to that report, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that a gimmick change for Madcap has indeed been discussed but it isn’t a lock.
A change in character at this time would certainly make sense.
WWE seemingly wrote Madcap Moss off television during the May 13 episode of SmackDown. Happy Corbin attacked Moss from behind and placed his neck through a chair. He then crushed the chair with the Andre The Giant Memorial trophy.
Many fans have called for Madcap to ditch the suspenders and the goofiness. Despite going babyface, he has maintained the same character he had as a heel.
Perhaps returning to get revenge on Corbin with a new attitude can catapult Madcap Moss to a higher level.
There is no doubt that Roman Reigns is the top dog in WWE, but is the clock ticking?
The Tribal Chief garners all the attention whenever he’s out with The Bloodline. His presence oozes ‘superstar’ and the WWE Universe has indeed acknowledged him.
The ‘Head of the Table’ gimmick was a much-needed turnaround for Reigns. While WWE always viewed him as a main-eventer, the audience knew he was being forced on them for many years.
Back in the summer of 2020, Reigns turned heel and aligned with Paul Heyman. Eventually, he forced The Usos to join him and they formed The Bloodline faction.
Since then, Roman Reigns has become the top draw in WWE. He is the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
While WWE has been enjoying the success of the “Tribal Chief,” it may not last much longer. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reported that Reigns has signed a new contract for fewer dates.
Prior to the news breaking, Reigns spoke to fans during a house show in Trenton, New Jersey and said that he was entering a new phase in his career.
It’s also been reported that Reigns could be missing the June 5 Hell in a Cell show. With Reigns having fewer dates and the potential of Hollywood knocking on his door in the not-so-distant future, it’s left many wondering who could be the one to replace Reigns when the time comes.
For the five stars named here, we won’t be including the likes of Cody Rhodes or Drew McIntyre. They have already been established as big stars who are in their mid-30s. Instead, we’ll be taking a look at talent on the rise.
Let’s dive into five potential WWE Superstars to replace Roman Reigns:
Gable Steveson
Gable Steveson was drafted to Raw
WWE has high hopes for Gable Steveson. The Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling is signed to a WWE contract. While Steveson hasn’t had a match yet, he’s already gotten physical, giving Chad Gable an overhead belly-to-belly suplex at WrestleMania 38.
Very few are doubting that Steveson can become a great in-ring performer given his amateur wrestling background. The real question is, can he captivate the WWE audience with his personality?
So far, Stevenson has been purely presented as an athlete but he’ll need more than that to thrive in WWE.
Time is certainly on Gable Steveson’s side. He will turn 22 years old on May 31. He’ll be hard at work in the ring and in promo classes behind the scenes before he becomes a regular on WWE TV.
Theory
(WWE)
At least for now, Theory is Vince McMahon’s golden boy.
The reigning United States Champion has been pushed on TV as Vince’s new “chosen one.” WWE officials are high on Theory as he seems to attract younger viewers to Monday Night Raw, something the company has struggled with.
Some fans are struggling with Theory’s rise, however. The concern is that he’s a bit too generic on the mic and in the ring, at least when working the WWE style. Some feel Theory is being held back by heavily scripted promos and needs to be unchained similar to what happened with Reigns.
This option would certainly be close to home for Reigns. Solo Sikoa is the younger brother of Jimmy and Jey Uso. He’s currently featured on the NXT 2.0 brand and it hasn’t taken him long to become a fan favorite on the show.
Being a member of the Anoai family certainly isn’t a bad thing when you’re a WWE superstar. At 29 years old, Sikoa isn’t the youngest guy on this list but he isn’t the oldest either. His size certainly fits the bill with WWE’s new initiative when looking to build stars.
If Sikoa develops fast enough, they may just have the perfect person to dethrone Reigns and possibly snap his brothers out of the mind control that the “Tribal Chief” has over them.
Madcap Moss
(via WWE)
Madcap Moss is in the midst of a babyface push. After winning the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, Happy Corbin got jealous and the team ended up splitting. They had a one-on-one match at WrestleMania Backlash, which Madcap won.
While many within WWE feel Madcap has potential, he has some things working against him. WWE has had difficulty finding the right fit for Moss and even as a face, he has still retained his bad joke gimmick when he was with Corbin.
At the age of 32, Moss isn’t exactly a young prospect either. While he may not seem like the most appealing choice, don’t rule out WWE trying to tie the rocket ship to Moss’ back.
Bron Breakker
(via WWE)
To many fans, this is the only option.
Bron Breakker just looks like he was born to be a WWE main eventer. The son of Rick Steiner hasn’t had a lot of experience but he’s already been impressive in the ring.
He certainly stands out above the other green talent that fills up NXT 2.0. Breakker made his WWE TV debut back in Sept. 2021 and he’s already a two-time NXT Champion.
He’s got an intimidating presence, has great facial expressions when selling, is as intense as they come, and can hold his own on the mic.
To top it off, Breakker will be 25 years old this October. He has all the ingredients to headline WrestleMania one day. It’s up to WWE to maximize his potential.
Whether that means replacing Roman Reigns remains to be seen.
Drew McIntyre will get a chance at revenge against Happy Corbin next month at WrestleMania 38.
The “Scottish Warrior” has feuded with Corbin since Day 1 on Jan. 1. Corbin and Madcap Moss attacked The “Scottish Warrior” backstage. The attack resulted in the storyline for McIntyre to take time off from WWE TV. The company’s reason for briefly sidelining the former WWE Champion was to deal with a neck injury.
WWE fans were uncertain if McIntyre would return to wrestle in time for Wrestlemania 38. PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that he had neck issues for several weeks and needed testing. Although he did not compete for 29 days, doctors were surprised that McIntyre recovered quickly.
“They dropped a lighting rig on my head, and I came back three and a half weeks later. I think everybody, including the doctor, was surprised at how soon I was able to come back. They told me, ‘You’re not making the Rumble. WrestleMania is possible, but let’s say it’s unlikely right now,” said McIntyre(h/t Fernando Quiles Jr). He continued, “Okay, Doc, no problem. I went straight to rehab, and I’ve always had the John Cena approach to rehab with every injury. What’s the most I can do for maximum benefit? ‘Well, you could come twice a day for six days a week, but that would be crazy.'”
Mcintyre took the doctor’s advice and did his best to return before Wrestlemania 38. “…I did that, rehab-wise, twice a day, six days a week, while also working out, so three times a day, six days a week, take Sunday off. When I saw the doctor a few weeks later, they were like, ‘All right, wow, you’re a cyborg, probably why you were called the Scottish Terminator. I guess you’re ready to go,” said Mcintyre(h/t Fernando Quiles Jr).
The former WWE champion will look to defeat Corbin at Wrestlemania 38. Although with Moss in his corner, Corbin has the advantage.
Drew McIntyre has detailed what his initial reaction was to the gnarly bump Madcap Moss took in their match at the Elimination Chamber event.
On Feb. 19, McIntyre and Moss had a singles match inside the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia. At one point during the match, McIntyre hit a reverse Alabama Slam and Moss landed awkwardly on his head and neck.
There was a look of concern on the face of Happy Corbin and referee Jessika Carr immediately checked on Madcap Moss. The good news is, Moss was able to finish the match and he was reportedly feeling fine after being checked out by WWE’s medical staff.
McIntyre’s Initial Reaction
The folks at In The Kliq got a chance to speak with Drew McIntyre and asked him about the scary bump. McIntyre said he didn’t know just how bad it looked initially (h/t Wrestling Inc).
“I didn’t realize how bad it was, but I saw the clip back. I understand that, let’s just say, he zigged when he should have zagged. The move didn’t go the way it’s supposed to go. I was aware of that, but I did not realize how bad it was. And the fact that you know, he was okay. I did double-check that. I could see it in his eyes he was good. He was double-checking to make sure he could finish the match and after the fact, the necessary precautions were taken, and thankfully now he’s all good.”
McIntyre has been feuding with Moss and Corbin in the leadup to WrestleMania. The former two-time WWE Champion made his return at the Royale Rumble after being taken out by Moss and Corbin in storyline.
The reality was McIntyre needed a short break to heal from a neck injury.
Madcap Moss took an awkward-looking bump at Elimination Chamber and there is an update on his health.
Moss went one-on-one with Drew McIntyre inside the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia. Many expected McIntyre to pick up the win in this one and that’s exactly what he did.
Gnarly Bump
McIntyre’s win isn’t the main takeaway from this match, however. Madcap Moss took a reverse Alabama Slam and landed right on his head.
Happy Corbin was at ringside and many have speculated that his reaction was of genuine concern and not acting. Referee Jessika Carr immediately checked on Moss to see if he was alright.
The rough landing had fans nervous but there is good news here. PWInsider is reporting that WWE’s medical staff checked on Moss and he is fine.
Mike Johnson, who wrote the report for PWInsider, suspected that the WWE medical team will take a second look at Moss if they haven’t already. Johnson noted he wasn’t specifically told the team would look at him again for further evaluation.
Hopefully, Moss remains in the clear and will be good to go moving forward. If anything, SEScoops will keep you posted should something else surface on this story.
