– Tickets to the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame in Orlando will go on sale Friday, 1/13. A Ticketmaster pre-sale will begin earlier that week but there’s no word yet on passcodes.
– Creativity Magazine has announced The Rock for one of their 50 Most Creative People of 2016. They linked to their write-up on Rock’s 2016 and called it his year:
– ESPN 30 For 30 has released the first look at their special on WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, seen below. The documentary is set to air in early 2017 some time.
Breakdown: The build to this match has mainly focused on Enzo Amore and Rusev. Enzo got suckered into meeting Lana at a hotel and Rusev beat the hell out of him. Big Cass now has his chance avenge his friend Enzo in a match against Rusev.
Prediction: This is a tough match to predict. Enzo and Cass haven’t really been in the Tag Team Championship seen at all recently. I wouldn’t be surprised if the WWE wants to start a singles push for Big Cass. I think Enzo and Cass are a solid tag team but once you get past the entrance, they have the same match every time. Enzo gets destroyed and then Big Cass gets tagged in and takes care of business. In a perfect world, Rusev wins this match but Big Cass has a good showing.
Winner: Rusev
Sami Zayn vs Braun Strowman (10 Minute Time Limit)
Breakdown: Sami Zayn has been obsessed with Strowman the past few weeks and Braun simply couldn’t care less. The two Superstars had a match a couple of weeks ago and Raw GM Mick Foley put a stop to it because Zayn couldn’t defend himself. Zayn demanded a rematch and finally Foley caved in and gave it to him this Sunday at Roadblock. Foley also put a 10 minute time limit on the match.
Prediction: I cannot come up with a scenario in which it would make sense for Sami Zayn to win this match. Obviously, Sami Zayn has been underutilized on Raw since the brand split. However, Raw has spent far too much time building up Braun Strowman for him to lose a relatively meaningless match against Sami Zayn. I think Sami Zayn will last the 10 minutes and that will piss Strowman off. The match will conclude with Strowman beating down Zayn after the 10 minute mark was reached. Foley may come out to try to put a stop to it and maybe Strowman will attack him as well. I think this would be a good way to show that Sami Zayn never quits and that Braun Strowman is an uncontrollable monster that the Raw locker room should fear.
Raw Tag Team Championship Match: New Day (c) vs Sheamus & Cesaro
Breakdown: This match was announced at Tribute to the Troops on Wednesday. Sheamus and Cesaro defeated Golden Truth, Gallows & Anderson and The Shining Stars in a Fatal 4-Way match to become the #1 contenders. The New Day are now the longest reigning Tag Team Champions in WWE history.
Prediction: A lot of people seem to believe that the New Day’s title reign is coming to an end. Sheamus and Cesaro got off to a rocky start when it came to crowd reactions but they have overcome that. They now work well as a tag team and are pretty much the only team on Raw that is ready to take the titles from the New Day. I think that will happen in due time. However, I do not think that will happen at Roadblock.
Winners & Still Tag Team Champions: New Day
Cruiserweight Championship Match: Rich Swann (c) vs The Brian Kendrick vs TJ Perkins
Breakdown: TJ Perkins lost the Cruiserweight title to Kendrick and then Kendrick lost it to Swann. On 205 Live, TJ Perkins submitted Rich Swann in the middle of the ring. On Monday Night Raw, Kendrick defeated Perkins easily. Perkins and Swann are friends but they seem ready to turn on each other. Kendrick’s strategy has been to play mind games with both Swann and Perkins.
Prediction: This is one of those matches that could go a million different ways. I don’t like the idea of Kendrick getting the title back so quickly. He really doesn’t need it. I think that the WWE has been dropping some subtle hints that Perkins is gearing up for a heel turn. His interactions with Swann backstage have been bizarre. I think Rich Swann is going to retain his title but Perkins is going to attack him after the match. Brian Kendrick may even join in on the attack or simply smile and cheer Perkins on.
Winner & Still Cruiserweight Champion: Rich Swann
Seth Rollins vs Chris Jericho
Breakdown: Rollins and Jericho have been battling for awhile now. Rollins was mainly focused on Kevin Owens but Jericho kept getting involved in their matches. Rollins hit a Pedigree on Jericho on top of a car a couple of weeks ago on Raw. Seth wants to defeat Jericho, take the Universal Championship from Kevin Owens and then fight Triple H. Jericho has a lot on his mind but mainly his beloved list and his broken friendship with Kevin Owens.
Prediction: The only way Jericho can win this match is by some sort of outside interference. I do not believe that Triple H will be showing up at WWE Roadblock but you never know. I think it is more likely that this match is earlier in the show and Kevin Owens tries to help Jericho out. Owens is desperate to fix his friendship with Jericho. If he can accomplish that, maybe Jericho will show up later in the night in Owens’ title defense against Roman Reigns. Even if Owens interferes, I think Rollins overcomes it and still wins the match.
Winner: Seth Rollins
Iron Man Match For The Raw Women’s Championship: Sasha Banks (c) vs Charlotte
Breakdown: Sasha Banks and Charlotte have essentially been trading the Raw Women’s Championship back and forth since the brand split. Sasha Bansk won the title back on Raw recently and celebrated with Ric Flair in the ring. The following week, Charlotte pretended to apologize to her father for embarrassing him back in May on Raw. Charlotte once again talked down to Ric Flair and then beat up Sasha Banks in front of him. Ric Flair stood there helplessly as his daughter beatdown Banks.
Prediction: Charlotte is undefeated at PPVs and I wouldn’t be surprised if that continues. I think this match will be excellent and will showcase how talented both Sasha Banks and Charlotte are. However, I think the ending will involve Ric Flair helping out his daughter Charlotte. I don’t think the WWE is bringing back Ric Flair as an on-screen character for him to be in the corner of Sasha Banks. Thus, the Raw Women’s Championship will once again change hands and Charlotte will leave Pittsburgh with the title.
Winner & New Raw Women’s Champion: Charlotte
Universal Championship Match: Kevin Owens (c) vs Roman Reigns
Breakdown: Roman Reigns has gotten the upper hand on Owens recently. Roman Reigns both want the Universal Championship. Reigns gets his shot on Sunday and Rollins battles Owens’ former best friend Chris Jericho. Reigns has already defeated Kevin Owens clean recently and that victory gave him the oppurtunity at the Universal Championship.
Prediction: Much like the Jericho and Rollins match, the only way Owens can win this match is by someone interfering. Owens has been booked as a paper champion his whole title reign. He has relied on Chris Jericho to help him retain his Universal Championship. If Jericho or Triple H does not interfere, there is no way Kevin Owens is going to defeat Roman Reigns at Roadblock. Roman Reigns is currently the United States Champion and that is the only thing preventing me from picking him this Sunday. I think the person that is going to take the Universal Championship from Owens will be Seth Rollins. I think Owens retains by getting himself disqualified, running out of the arena or outside interference.
Winner & Still Universal Champion: Kevin Owens
What do you think will happen this Sunday at WWE Roadblock: End of the Line? Let us know in the comments below.
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently opened up about how he wants to be remembered in the wrestling business. During a recent interview with Alex Marvez of SportingNews.com, The Nature Boy said that he hopes the thing will define his legacy the most is his work ethic. Flair felt comfortable saying that he wrked harder than anybody in the wrestling business, and sometimes doing so “under the worst conditions.”
“I never wanted to ever leave the crowd thinking they haven’t gotten their money’s worth,” he said. “Fans still enjoy me and I enjoy them. I am thankful.”
The Nature Boy says he’s fine with his upcoming ESPN 30 For 30 special showing fans his previous personal issues, including domestic and financial problems. He accepts responsibility for his mistakes, and says he doesn’t run away from his past. Flair added that thanks to the WWE Network and YouTube, he’s “doing financially better now than when [he] was wrestling.”
You can read The Nature Boy’s full interview here.
Monday’s RAW from Charlotte, NC saw the return of 2-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, who congratulated Sasha Banks for winning the RAW Women’s Championship. In recent days there have been reports that Flair will be appearing on WWE television more regularly and now the Nature Boy has commented on the situation.
On the latest episode of the Ric Flair Show podcast (presented by MLW Radio), Flair’s co-host Conrad Thompson asked about his status.
“I think I’m back on TV now,” Flair said.
He praised Charlotte and Sasha Banks’ Women’s title match from RAW and said they get better every time they work together. He was proud to be there in his home town and said the bar has been raised once again for the Women’s division.
Flair added that he expects to be back on RAW this coming Monday, but “that could change tomorrow.”
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has come to terms with WWE on a new contract. The plan is for Flair to be a regular member of the RAW roster moving forward.
As seen on Monday’s RAW from Charlotte, NC, Flair came out to endorse new RAW Women’s Champion Sasha Banks. That appearance was added to the RAW script late in the day and appears to be Flair’s re-introduction into the storylines.
ESPN’s upcoming “30 For 30” documentary about Ric Flair just got a little more intriguing. In Tuesday’s edition of Sports Illustrated media reporter Richard Deitsch’s column, he previewed the upcoming special, which will be one of two (along with an XFL documentary) where WWE is cooperating with the production. The big news in the piece has little to do with Flair himself, though, as Deitsch quotes director Rory Karpf as saying that “It was also awesome to get an interview with The Undertaker (real name: Mark Calaway) out of character.”
In the past, WWE refrained from showing The Undertaker out of character in their own documentaries or allowing third party documentaries from doing so, either. When “Wrestling with Shadows” and “Beyond The Mat” were shot backstage, for example, both productions were contractually prohibited from showing him. This impacted “Wrestling with Shadows” in particular, as director Paul Jay had caught Undertaker/Calaway furiously banging on Vince McMahon’s office door after the “Montreal screw job” in the Survivor Series ’97 main event.
The main exceptions to this policy came when The Undertaker had dropped the “Deadman” gimmick from 2000-2003 and focused on the “American Badass” persona. During that period, he also did an out of character interview (embedded at the top of this article) in a 2002 episode of TSN’s “Off the Record,” which regularly featured pro wrestlers going back to 1997.
Ric Flair and Charlotte have written a new book titled “Second Nature: The Legacy of Ric Flair and The Rise of Charlotte.” The book will be released on 7/25/2017 and is now available for pre-order at Amazon.com. Here’s the official synopsis:
WOOOOOO! Are you ready for this, WWE Universe?
For the first time ever, WWE’s illustrious father-daughter duo “Nature Boy” Ric Flair and Charlotte come together to tell their legendary story.
Ric Flair is a 16-time World Champion and two-time WWE Hall of Fame Inductee. His four-decades long career is recognized as one of the greatest of all time, but with success comes a price. Despite his effortless brilliance in front of the cameras, his life away from the cameras includes personal struggles, controversy and family tragedy. Through his bond with Charlotte, he’s becoming the father he needs to be while rediscovering the legend he has always been.
Charlotte grew up in the shadow of her famous father, “the dirtiest player in the game,” but now she is poised to take the Flair name to new heights. As the inaugural WWE Women’s Champion, Charlotte has had an impressive career, and she’s just getting started. With the (dare we say it) flair of the “Nature Boy” running through her blood, Charlotte is destined for greatness. Find out how she embraced her heritage and battled her own challenges through her rise to the top of WWE.
For these two Champions, sports entertainment is simply SECOND NATURE.
Ric Flair recently appeared on Sirius XM’s Busted Open Radio where he discussed his daughter Charlotte’s victory over Sasha Banks at WWE’s Hell In A Cell pay-per-view. The Nature Boy feels that Charlotte is among the best workers in the company, male or female, and shared some backstage details on her Hell In A Cell match.
“They took two huge spots out of the match,” Flair said. The Nature Boy said the company made some changes to the plans for the match because they “were afraid Sasha was going to get hurt.” Flair wouldn’t say what the cancelled plans were, but that “one of them involved a moonsault.”
Flair credited Vince McMahon for putting the Women’s Championship match last on the pay-per-view, and said it’s a good thing he did because “nothing could have followed it.”
As far as who Flair views as the top talent in the company, he listed his daughter along with Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and Triple H. You can listen to his entire interview on demand on SiriusXM.com.
– WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was on ESPN yesterday as a guest on College GameDay to give his picks. You can watch the full segment with Flair in the video above.
– It looks like former WWE CEO Linda McMahon is rooting for Donald Trump in this year’s United States Presidential election. According to The Washington Post, Linda donated $6 million in August and September to a super PAC supporting Trump’s Presidential campaign. She made five contributions, with the latest being for $1 million on 9/22.
– Chris Jericho’s band Fozzy recently signed a new record deal with Century Media. The former WWE Undisputed Champion announced the signing on Twitter over the weekend.
Proud to announce that we just signed a new record deal with @centurymedia! Get ready for @FOZZYROCK 2017!!
In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Ric Flair says that his daughter Charlotte has moves we’ve never seen before to debut in her upcoming Hell In A Cell match against Sasha Banks. The 16-time World Champion says Charlotte isn’t afraid of anything and plans on making a statement at the pay-per-view.
“There is no talking her out of it. You didn’t see me do any moonsaults off the top of a cage, but she has something really special in mind for the cage,” Flair said.
The Nature Boy also indicates that he feels Charlotte’s performances have improved since she fired him on-air. Another change since Flair left TV is that SmackDown now airs live, which he says makes the show better.
“The pressure of being on live TV is good for you,” said Flair. “It takes you a while to get used to it, but she’s got it down now. The fact that both shows are live makes the product better because the people have got to be on top of it. There is no margin for error, and she’s responded to that pressure. No one gets it on day one, but ever since she’s fired ‘The Man,’ she’s had it going on.”
You can read Flair’s entire interview at SI.com. Hell In A Cell 2016 takes place on October 30th at the TD Garden in Boston, MA, with live coverage & discussion here on SEScoops.com at 7:30 PM ET.
On the 13th episode of The Ric Flair Show, the Nature Boy tackled several subjects relating to the impending sale of TNA. Flair is of the belief that Dixie Carter may have spread the rumor that WWE was interested in buying TNA to drive the price up. Flair says that while they could get some use out of TNA’s content library, he doesn’t see WWE purchasing the company.
“I think that that’s a rumor that Dixie Carter put out to try and raise the ante,” Flair theorized. “Yep. I don’t see them doing that and I’m sure they’d like to have the library, but, I mean, there isn’t a lot to buy. And I’m not saying there’s not talent there. NXT, they’ve got a ton of kids in NXT right now that are all chomping at the bit to come up, so anybody that they acquire from TNA would probably just go over to NXT for a while and it’s just a lot of people.”
As far as talent that could move over from TNA to WWE, Flair indicated that he would like to see “Broken” Matt Hardy and Brother Nero return to their old stomping grounds. Flair believes the Hardy brothers could bring a lot to WWE television. He says he “keeps hearing a rumor” that they’re heading back to WWE, and that the two of them have been “looking like a million bucks” lately.
Ric Flair went viral with his claims that he had relations with Halle Berry back in 1997. Last week a rep for Berry denied that she had visited “Space Mountain,” and said she doesn’t even know who Flair is.
The story is still taking on a life of it’s own online, and a TMZ cameraman caught up with The Nature Boy at LaGuardia Airport in New York.
Flair offered “no comment” on Berry’s rep denying his claims. The cameraman followed Flair until he added that she is a “great actress and a nice person.”
According to TMZ, sources close to Hally Berry say she was deeply offended by Flair’s claims.
Ric Flair is drawing some mainstream attention for claiming last week on the Ric Flair Show that he slept with actress Halle Berry after she divorced former Major League Baseball player David Justice. Berry and Justice got divorced in June 1997 and were residing in Georgia at the time; Justice was playing for the Atlanta Braves.
“She was in Atlanta and just got divorced from David Justice,” Flair said after claiming he had slept with “several dozen” stars.
When asked by co-host Conrad Thompson if he was making the story up, Flair replied, “Would I have to make up a lie?”
TMZ reached out to Berry’s rep, who shut down the wrestling legend’s story as bogus.
A source close to Berry added, “There is NO truth to this! Halle has literally never even heard of him let alone met him!!!”
TMZ was also told that Berry is “deeply offended” by Flair.
“A man doesn’t get to sexualize and lie about a woman he’s never met to better himself of his name,” a source close to Berry added. “It’s offensive, demeaning and beyond misogynistic.”
On the latest edition of The Ric Flair Show, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair discussed Dolph Ziggler’s future on WWE television. Following the news of Ziggler putting his career on the line in a match against The Miz at No Mercy, Flair took to his podcast to share a rumor he had heard about Ziggler’s status.
The Nature Boy revealed that he’s been told Ziggler’s contract expires after No Mercy. Flair said he hopes this isn’t the case as he’s a big fan of the former World Champion. Flair feels that Ziggler’s in-ring talent should secure him a spot on TV as long as he wants, but has also heard that WWE has a position for him behind-the-scenes.
Ziggler’s career is on the line against The Miz’s Intercontinental Title at No Mercy on October 9th in Sacramento. We’ll have live coverage of the event right here on SEScoops.com.
– WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens will be Jonathan Coachman’s guest for the ESPN SportsCenter Off The Top Rope segment tomorrow night.
– Cesaro is fueling speculating that he could be jumping to SmackDown. After SmackDown GM Daniel Bryan tweeted that he’d love to see Cesaro on SmackDown, the Swiss Superman has since responded:

Looks like a bunch of little GIRLS yelling about the #WomensTitle… maybe it's time for a new WOMAN to have an opportunity at it. #RAW
– WWE’s new “Hidden Gems” collection on the WWE Network goes deep into the tape archives to bring back some forgotten moments like Bret Hart and Terry Funk’s rare ECW match, the early days of Seth Rollins, and more. The official trailer for the collection can be seen above.
– ESPN’s “30 For 30” documentary about Ric Flair’s life and career was originally expected to air this fall, but has reportedly been pushed back until the spring of 2017. The Undertaker, Sting, and Shawn Michaels were among those interviewed for the special, which will run either 90 or 120 minutes long.
– In a new clip on WWE’s YouTube channel, Renee Young talks about her “Talking Smack” series on the Network. Young says that she hopes to keep the unpredictability of the show, and says that she never knows what’s going to happen until it happens. You can check out what she had o say below.
Ric Flair says he’s currently waiting to hear back from WWE about returning to TV. The Nature Boy was on Main Event Radio recently to talk about his WWE Superstar daughter, and being written off of television.
“I’m waiting to hear,” Flair said of potentially returning to WWE TV. “I’ve actually got some time off after being on the road with them for five months. After she [Charlotte] fired me, I actually took a deep breath and said I’m going home for a couple of months. I love working for the company, it’s a phenomenal place to work. If they need me and they want me to come back, I’m ready to go.”
Flair was written off of WWE television when Charlotte fired him in-storyline back in May. Flair says he couldn’t be prouder of his daughter and feels that Charlotte is the foundation of the women’s division.
“She’s doing so well and she and her friends Sasha [Banks] and Becky [Lynch] — the whole division is strong, she’s right in the middle of it, having the time of her life and working hard,” Flair said.
As far as Charlotte possibly forming a “Four Horsewomen” group, Flair says that’s up to the creative team, but he doesn’t see it happening on the main WWE roster.
Flair also spoke on AJ Styles reaching WWE, saying that he really enjoyed Styles in TNA and couldn’t be happier that he’s now with WWE. You can check out the full interview here.
Ric Flair had a conversation with former WWE and TNA Champion Kurt Angle on the latest edition of his podcast. One topic of discussion was now-former WWE star Cody Rhodes, who has a match on Saturday against the Olympic gold medalist that Flair says will be the biggest match of Cody’s career. Angle indicated that he felt WWE should have pushed Cody to the main event level and says he’s a valuable talent.
“[Cody] is so talented, I picked him out a long time ago. There are times when you really need to push somebody hard. I didn’t realize how entertaining outside of wrestling he could be until he did Stardust,” Angle said. “I don’t know if Stardust was the right character for him, I was just impressed that he could do it.”
Flair indicated that he expects to see Rhodes back in WWE in a year or two, and echoed Angle’s sentiments that the Stardust character took a lot of talent to pull off.
Angle also talked about his former TNA colleague AJ Styles arriving in WWE, saying that Styles is a “one of a kind” talent and compared him to Shawn Michaels. Flair put over Styles’ interview skills, and says he’s improved since The Nature Boy saw him back in TNA. Angle said that Styles reminds him of Flair in the sense that he does most of the work in the ring and makes it easy for his opponents.
“He has it all,” Kurt said of AJ. “Psychology, technique, he knows when to fire up, he knows when to sell. The kid is just phenomenal at what he does. […] With AJ I just can’t believe it took him this long to get to WWE.”
Angle ended the interview on a complimentary note towards The Nature Boy: “Make no mistake about it, Ric Flair is a real badass.” Flair predicted that Kurt will be a future WWE Hall of Famer, despite any issues he had in the past with company management.
– IWGP Champion Kazuchika Okada was backstage for the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view last night. Other visitors were Ric Flair, Maria Menounos and Dennis “Mr. Belding” Haskins.

– The wrestling world is not done firing back at Conor McGregor for his controversial remarks about WWE Superstars during Friday’s UFC 202 media conference call. The flamboyant Irishman is known for running his mouth and uses his gift of gab to generate tremendous interest in his fights. Typically his venom is directed at his opponents, but “The Notorious” lashed out at WWE performers for being “messed up p*ssies.”
2-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is the latest wrestling personality to respond. McGregor’s public persona is clearly influenced by the Nature Boy’s style and bravado, so it might hit close to home when Flair expresses disappointment that he’s not carrying himself with class like the champions before him.
Coming from a guy who built a career copying my persona, I expected the type of class we get from Ronda or Anderson. pic.twitter.com/iVoC0Xva5g
– Ric Flair was backstage at RAW in Atlanta this week, but the WWE Hall of Famer no longer has any contractual affiliation with the company.
