Drew McIntyre is currently dealing with an injury and is out of action, according to PWInsider.
McIntyre is not backstage at Madison Square Garden in New York City for tonight’s RAW and was not backstage for last week’s show.
The report noted that word going around the locker room is that McIntyre underwent a minor surgery to help fix a lingering injury that came up after the recent tour of Mexico. WWE has not held live events in Mexico since December, but McIntyre was there in late August for a promotional tour to promote the WWE Supershow scheduled for late November.
The idea was to get the surgery out of the way, that way McIntyre will be ready and healthy going into WWE TV in October and the build towards WrestleMania 36 season in 2020. McIntyre will return to action as soon as WWE doctors clear him, which could be as soon as next week’s set of TV shows. McIntyre is said to be ready to return, but he’s just waiting on the call from WWE and the approval from the doctors.
McIntyre had been rumored for a match against Cedric Alexander at WWE Clash of Champions at one point.
McIntyre wrestled on the August 26 RAW episode for a King of the Ring first round loss to Ricochet. Stay tuned for updates on his status.Click Here:

Becky Lynch took to Twitter to comment on Ric Flair’s trademark dispute with WWE over “The Man.” ESPN’s Marc Raimondi posted to Twitter and shared Lynch’s comment about the situation, in which Flair filed a trademark registration for the term which Lynch uses as a nickname.
Lynch said, “All I can say about Ric is, I like Ric. He’s been a good friend to me over the years. We’ll see what happens with that.”

I asked @BeckyLynchWWE about Ric Flair’s recent remarks about wanting to file a trademark for the “The Man” phrase.
Lynch: “All I can say about Ric is, I like Ric. He’s been a good friend to me over the years. We’ll see what happens with that.”Click Here:

Sasha Banks Opens Up About The Rumors That She Was Crying On The Floor During Wrestlemania
The new episode of ‘WWE Chronicle’ focused on Sasha Banks. The episode aired on Saturday night on the WWE Network.
During the episode, Sasha opened up about the rumors By Ryan Satin that she was crying on the floor (With Bayley) at Wrestlemania 35.
This was supposively after her and Bayley dropped the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.
“It was just like, ‘How the hell do they make up this stuff too,’ like I saw so much stuff like ‘crying on the floor of a locker room’ — No. I took my clothes off, got dressed and went to go stand with the fans with Pam [Bayley] watching the main event because I was so happy for those girls.”
“Then there’s rumors that I was crying on the hotel floor. It’s like please show me the pictures, please show me the footage. I’ve learned that you can’t left those things destroy you through therapy because they don’t know me. They don’t know Mercedes and they don’t know Mercedes who plays Sasha Banks and they don’t know what we go through day-to-day at TV at live events and what we do at home.”
“You can let them think whatever they want, because they’re not going to change and I’m not gonna change for them. I just have to change what makes me feel good for myself and I think that’s the best part just like talk about me, good, bad it doesn’t matter — talk about me.”Click Here:

In a post on Instagram, Maria Kanellis clarified that it was only her husband who asked for his release and that she’s sticking around. Kanellis is pregnant and wouldn’t make sense to ask for her release now. Maria said that family always comes first and she will love and support her husband no matter what. She also addressed those who questioned the timing of her pregnancies, the first one when she was just hired and the second one a few months ago when she was brought back on television. “I make no apologies for either of my pregnancies,” Maria wrote. She also defended her husband for going to rehab although she said that WWE did not pay for it and he didn’t go to rehab when he was employed by WWE. “Mike’s addiction was from about September 2013-July 2017. We debuted in June 2017.. He never took time off,” she added. Her husband Mike publicly asked for his release in a message on Twitter saying he wants to work more dates, something which is not doable in the WWE at the moment. Mike is not even on the road with the company for non-televised live events and is only brought in for televised tapings.

During his latest Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross responded to Seth Rollins’ recent comments about AEW being a minor league:
“You’re right, I’m pissed off about it. Here’s what I’m pissed off about: Number one, it doesn’t do any favors for our business. Our business in general, any promotion in the total of all the pro wrestling business it’s bigger than any individual. Now I’m not inferring that Seth thinks he’s bigger than the business,” Ross said, “but by what he says sometimes, you can make that assessment, rightly or wrongly, but it’s not a classy thing to say, for an athlete of his designation.”
“As another Hall of Famer has mentioned to me, it’s not about the individuals being over or drawing the house or selling out, it’s about the WWE brand selling out. Hence, the best illustration is WrestleMania. The brand name WrestleMania and the parent company, the big dog in the yard, WWE is what sells tickets to WrestleMania under the auspices that they’re going to do deliver a special show, opponents and participants to be named. But Rollins is in a great spot, he’s blessed, maybe someday he’ll be as over as his girlfriend, I don’t know, but nonetheless, I’ve always liked his work. He’s a solid guy, he’s a solid guy, but saying things like that make him look bad and for that I feel bad for him. I just do.”Click Here: Sergio Aguero Jersey Sale
