  • Ex-WWE GM Appears At AEWxNJPW Forbidden Door

    AEWxNJPW Forbidden Door has seen the two promotions collide for an epic show emenating from the O2 Arena in London, England. Not only has the shown seen the very best of both companies, but a former WWE General Manager has also made his presence felt.

  • Shawn Michaels On Unique WWE NXT: We Make Stars to Lose Them

    Shawn Michaels has spent years honing talent in WWE NXT, only to see them leave his show and moved to the main roster. Speaking to the Boston Herald, Michaels reflected on how his particular brand of sports entertainment differs from what fans see anywhere else.

    \”There\’s not another brand out there that works so hard to create stars in order to lose them. Everybody else builds stars to be able to draw money and ratings for their show. We do it to send them off somewhere. That is unlike any other brand, and it is part of the value NXT brings to the wrestling business as a whole.\”

    Michaels has no shortage of success stories from his time in charge of WWE NXT. Some of WWE\’s very top names today, including champions like Solo Siko and Tiffany Stratton, landed in WWE NXT under Michaels\’ regime. Their success, and the success of others, show that Michaels and his crew know how to breed success, even if it\’s not for their own show.

    Michaels\’ role is just part of the WWE juggernaut which continues to go from strength to strength with massive business deals. For Michaels, a veteran of the business, the recent moves have been incredible to see.

    \”I\’ve been with WWE for almost 40 years and we continue to break new ground and grow at such a global level that I find it unfathomable. WWE is part of mainstream Americana and around the world. That\’s amazing to me.\”

    With WWE NXT continuing to host shows and bringing in new talent, Michaels is kept plenty busy in his role. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from Michaels and WWE NXT.

One day later, AEW will host its untelevised \’House Rules\’ show from Brisbane\’s Entertainment Centre.

    One name especially excited for AEW\’s return to Australia is reigning TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher. Speaking to Balme, Fletcher reflected on his first live wrestling experience coming at the Qudos Bank Arena, a venue the Australian plans on competing in this coming February.

    \”The arena that I first saw professional wrestling in, I was sitting up in the nosebleeds. The cheapest tickets possible, literally about three rows from the back and I remember that night and just falling even more in love with it. So I think yeah, when I walk into that arena, it\’s going to be such a crazy feeling. It\’s going to feel very full circle.\”

  • John Cena On Being WWE\’s GOAT: Winners Right the History Books

    John Cena has often been referred to as the Greatest of All Time in WWE, a claim it\’s hard to argue with. As the only 17-time World Champion in the company\’s history, Cena\’s legacy as one of the biggest names in wrestling cannot be argued with.

    Sitting down with WIRED, Cena answered some of the most searched questions about him on Google. When asked what makes him the \’GOAT\’ of WWE, John argued that his legacy has been carefully crafted.

    \”Because I say so. And as you know, I also say that winners write the history books and currently I\’m winning, so I\’m writing history and I\’m the greatest of all time because I said so. That\’s a great answer for you parents out there. [laughs]\”

    Cena\’s winning ways have been on full-display during his retirement tour. Cena won his final Elimination Chamber match in March before winning the main event of his final WrestleMania in April. A series of title defenses would see John also came out on top before losing the WWE Championship at SummerSlam to Cody Rhodes.

    Cena hopes to keep winning when he battles Logan Paul at WWE Clash in Paris 2025. With only a handful of appearances left before he retires for good, it remains to be seen how many wins Cena has left as he continues to write the history books.

    Speaking to CBS, Ospreay reflected on the perils that\’ll face him post-Forbidden Door. For the British star, whatever happens in the match can\’t compare to his nerves for what will come after.

    \”I\’m anxious. I\’m scared. Generally, I\’m terrified. Not about the match, but just about afterwards. I don\’t know what it looks like afterwards.\”

    Ospreay has been able to avoid surgery in his career so far, with his only broken bone being a broken nose years ago. For the British star who tries to use humor to handle the more complicated matters, this is a bold new chapter in his life.

    \”For the first time in my life, I have to realize that this is something serious and I don\’t know how to navigate those emotions.\”

    Ospreay appreciates that fans are worried, not only for Forbidden Door but for his impending surgery. Despite being branded the Aerial Assassin, Ospreay knows that he may be a much different wrestler once he returns.

    \”I might have to kiss this part of my high-flying offense goodbye now. It\’s something that I\’m not ready to let go. I\’ll be honest with you, I\’m not ready to let go.\”

    Ospreay ended up on a positive note, highlighting talent including Jushin \’Thunder\’ Liger and AJ Styles who changed their repertoire post-surgery and remained highly talented wrestlers.

    The TNA Wrestling roster were able to put their differences aside for a good cause as part of a recent charity softball game. In a video shared on her YouTube channel, Tessa Blanchard shared some clips of the fun day out.

    Matt and Jeff Hardy served as the game\’s pitches, though Blanchard wasn\’t impressed, joking that the pair \”shouldn\’t quit wrestling\” for softball. Ash By Elegance also stepped up to the pitching mound at the \”super awesome event.\” Some wrestlers, including Brian Myers, Steve Maclin, and Frankie Kazarian were dressed to win complete with cleats and \”full-on softball gear.\”

    The game was held the night before TNA Slammiversary with the wrestlers teaming up with the local children\’s softball team. Not only did the wrestlers have a great time on the field, but they made sure to sign autographs and meet their younger counterparts.

    Several of TNA\’s top stars were at the game, including Joe Hendry, Nic Nemeth, and reigning TNA World Champion Trick Williams from WWE NXT. Valuable moments like these show how wrestlers can be larger than life personalities, both in and out of the ring.
