WEDNESDAY NEWS UPDATE
WWE
This week’s episode of The Bump features Rhea Ripley, Damian Priest, Molly Holly, and Shane Helms.
HeelbyNature reported that WWE has voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against US Citizenship and Immigration Services. The details of the lawsuit have been sealed to the public.
In an interview with the New York Post, Shawn Michaels discussed a potential NXT move to Tuesdays: “It’s always clearly easier when [you’re] sort of destination programming, so to speak. Nothing would change certainly for us. We still try to put the best show out there that we can. Clearly, I know that’s everybody’s goal. I think it would only be fair to say everyone knows that when you are not competing against another similar show that it makes it a little bit easier. It allows people to enjoy that. And then you think about the follow from Raw the next night. So, clearly, it certainly wouldn’t hurt.”
Michaels also talked about the use of leg slaps by wrestlers.: “Clearly I look back and I go, OK I did it. I just did one. I’m always of the cloth, I can remember when I started people telling me too fast, too much, too this and there’s a balance there. They were right in some respects and at the same time, the business also evolves and changes. Football isn’t played the same. Basketball isn’t played the same, so I don’t know. I’m somebody that embraces those changes. I feel like somewhere in the middle and balance is so important. I appreciate the style of today. I appreciate the athleticism of the performers of today. Are they perfect? No. But neither were we.”
WWE is re-releasing WrestleMania XIV, 2000, 22, and XXIV in the UK on DVD on April 25.

Mick Foley commented on the ending to Sunday’s AEW Revolution event: “SAD, BUT TRUE! I’ve been there – at the 1995 KOTDM when the exploding ring underperformed. I feel bad for Mox & Omega, but suggest that @AEW deep-six the Kenny built a crummy ring story, and just admit that mistakes happen…and will learn from this mistake. Just my opinion.”
