Giant returns from WWE’s Biggest Superstars

WWE uploaded a new video of gigantic Superstars returning to the company and causing chaos. The Big Show, Kane, Diesel, Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker and The Great Khali were featured in the montage.

Fans react to The Great Khali’s return

Last Sunday at WWE Battleground, The Great Khali made his return and interfered in the Punjabi Prison match for the WWE Championship. Khali grabbed Randy Orton by the throat and prevented him from exiting the prison. Jinder Mahal then scaled up the prison and escaped to retain his WWE Championship.

WWE has uploaded a new video on their YouTube channel featuring live reactions from fans as they watched The Great Khali’s return at WWE Battleground. Peter Rosenberg of WWE Network’s “Bring it to the Table” provided the intro for the video.

Dash Wilder of The Revival will be out of action for months after recently suffering a broken jaw, according to an exclusive report at Pro Wrestling Sheet.

The injury took place over the weekend, but it’s unknown if Wilder’s jaw was broken during a match. Early estimates have him on the sidelines until early July.

Bobby Roode replaced Dash Wilder at Saturday’s NXT live event from Concord, NC. They lost to Shinsuke Nakamura & Tye Dillinger in the main event in a match that had been billed as the Revival’s NXT farewell.

Dash Wilder and his partner Scott Dawson made their main roster debuts on WWE RAW the night after WrestleMania 33. The duo made a big impact upon their arrival, scoring a win over The New Day and unleashing a vicious attack on Kofi Kingston that [storyline] put him out of action with an ankle injury.

– As noted earlier, Kofi Kingston is undergoing ankle surgery and will be out of action for the next several weeks. According to WWE storylines, the injury took place last week on RAW when The Revival attacked Kofi in the ring. In response to the news that Kofi’s injury required surgery, Dash & Dawson sent out these tweets on Monday:

Scott Dawson, one half of NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival, tweeted this on Thursday morning:

As noted earlier, it appears that James Ellsworth has signed a WWE contract, as he announced on Facebook that he is not taking any additional indie bookings after he works a Big Time Wrestling show this Friday night. It has not yet been reported one way or the other if The headbangers and/or The Spirit Squad (Ken “Kenny” Doane and Mike “Mikey” Mondo) have been signed as of yet.

As for Dawson and partner Dash Wilder, their role depends on whether or not WWE actually sees them as “developmental talent,” so to speak. The Revival is a signature act on NXT these days, and if you look at the other top level NXT stars, barely any of them are “developmental” signees, strictly speaking. The cards lately are dominated by names like Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Eric Young, Bobby Roode, DIY, Asuka, and others who were brought in to boost the brand and/or teach younger wrestlers, not get developed for the main roster.

– As noted, Monday’s RAW from Los Angeles drew 2.797 million viewers, up from last week’s record-low of 2.478 million. The final rating for this week’s RAW was a 1.92, up from last week’s 1.75.

– Tonight’s NXT episode will see the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic kick off with The Authors of Pain vs. The Bollywood Boyz and The Revival vs. Andrade “Cien” Almas and Cedric Alexander.

Other matches taped for tonight include Dan Matha’s debut, Rich Swann vs. Patrick Clark and Danielle Kamella vs. Peyton Royce.
