WWE News This Week 
to Saturday 23rd June 2018 

A new blog post from me looking back at some of the main stories of the week in WWE, my opinion on that story, links to websites that reported the story or link to my own blog if I have written about that subject this week.

WWE News of The Week 





Vader Passes Away
Original story from WWE.com

Jon's opinion - Its so very sad to see that Vader has passed away this week, I remember seeing him as a Kid in WCW and then later in WWE. I was always impressed with his ability for such a large man. Vader is a true wrestling legend having wrestled all over the world, a former WCW champion and a Champion in Japan also. My best wishes to his family at this sad time.

Big Cass is released from WWE

Jon's Opinion - Well here's the thing I try not to read into rumours or to speculation. WWE obviously felt that their working relationship with Big Cass had become untenable and there wasn't anything that could be done to repair it, so its best at this time for him and WWE to part ways, I don't think this will be the end for Big Cass, we may see him back again in a number of years once he is more seasoned and experienced performer, I Wish Big Cass all the best.

Moustache Mountain Win WWE NXT Tag Team Titles

Jon's Opinion - I was so very happy to see this news this week. Trent Severn and Tyler Bate are genuinely two of the nicest wrestlers I have had the pleasure of meeting. They along with Pete Dunne have spearheaded this UK resurgence in WWE and Severn and Bate are in my opinion constantly brilliant and always trying to add new things to their game, and enhance their matches and what they do, congratulations lads. 




Triple H and Johnny Saint Announce WWE NXT UK 

Jon's Opinion - I wrote a while blog on this ( you can click on the link below) its exciting news and I talk about WWE NXT formation, who could be signed by WWE and what the implications are for the UK Wrestling scene

Sami Zayn injured out for the rest of 2018 

Jon's Opinion - Very sad to see this, Sami Zayn has been so entertaining over the past year and his partnership with Kevin Owens Hilarious. Its such a shame that Zayn will be out until at least Royal Rumble but hopefully he can make a return before Wrestlemaina

WWE Royal Rumble 2013 Ziggler is Lucky Number 1 (or 2) Dolph Ziggler This Sunday 27th January 2013 WWE Royal Rumble will air. Generally One of the best WWE PPV's of the year. This year 30 Man Royal Rumble match has alot of intrigue built into it most people are of the opinion that John Cena will be winning this years event and then go on to face The Rock at Wrestlemania. However after seeing this past Monday's WWE raw WWE might have something else in mind.,.,,  Royal Rumble 2013 A Beat the clock challenge took place on WWE Raw and the winner of this we were originally told could pick their number for the Royal Rumble Match. Dolph Ziggler Ends up winning the Beat The Clock challenge then when he is bragging about this Vicki Guerreo informs Ziggler that it is not a free choice of Royal Rumble Entry number instead it is a number chosen within a certain range Number one to Number two. Here's what WWE could do This I feel is the ideal opportunity fo

Strike Wrestling Results Bournemouth May 20th 2018

Strike Wrestling Results Bournemouth May 20th 2018   Hello Wrestling fans! Welcome to the first ever Strike Wrestling Results blog!  I went to Bournemouth and took x2 trains and a bus to get there and it was well worth the effort. Before I get to the wrestling a bit about Bournemouth Bournemouth is a beautiful town it was a sunny hot day. I managed to go to the beach and see the pier and get a great view from Bournemouth on top of the cliffs, where there were also many of great restaurants and places to eat. Check out my on the road video on Strike Wrestling by clicking the video below! This was my first show at Strike Wrestling and Strike is an over 18’s show so I was expecting a different vibe, feel and presentation to family orientated wrestling that I have attended in the past. Strike wrestling is high paced, hard hitting, fast action but with a huge streak of entertainment, fun and having a great time.   From where I was

WWE TV in UK 2024 Will it Stay on TNT Sports, Move Back to Sky or Somewhere new?

In 2020 WWE signed a multi year deal with TNT Sports (BT Sport at the time) to air WWE programming WWE Raw, WWE Smackdown and WWE NXT.  Channel 5 also airs highlights of WWE RAW and WWE Smackdown but on a week delay - Channel 5 is a free to air channel here in the UK.  Last week I received an email as a WWE Network subscriber here in the UK to inform me that I could now watch WWE NXT every week on WWE Network from 3rd Jan 2024. So this email got me thinking - is the WWE/TNT Sports UK TV deal coming up soon? it looks possible. Looking at the original story of the deal being made in 2020 multiple sources claim that it is a "multi year deal" See below  ( https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a28113145/wwe-smackdown-raw-watch-uk-tv-bt-sport/)     I could not find how many specific years that was., However I thought i'd give my opinion on where WWE Raw and WWE Smackdown could end up in 2024, The rights fee's obviously are alot less than there are in USA due to WWE Raw and Sma
