Rey Mysterio on NJPW Status, Upcoming Titles News, WWE Visits ZZ

Rey Mysterio’s status in professional wrestling is currently unknown at the moment. Mysterio had been set to wrestle at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Strong Style Evolved event last night, but an injury prevented him from wrestling Jushin “Thunder” Liger at the event as planned. Fortunately, Mysterio did still appear at the show and he apologized for having to miss out on the match. However, he did promise that he will compete in NJPW as soon as his injury has finished healing. Will Ospreay later challenged Mysterio to a match before he and Rey were both attacked by Marty Scurll. Liger eventually came down to the ring and saved Mysterio from being beaten down any further.

It was reported not too long ago that WWE is considering adding tag team titles to the women’s divisions on Raw and Smackdown at some point after WrestleMania this year. Reddit user Belt Fan Dan, who has broken news about upcoming WWE championships in the past, has revealed that the women’s tag team titles will be revealed around the time of SummerSlam this year. NXT’s new North American Championship had also previously been set to be a television title in honor of Dusty Rhodes’ run as TV champion, but the idea was scrapped because Vince McMahon did not like the idea of TV titles. The leaked design of the Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships is also said to not be the final design of the new titles.
WWE relaunched the Tough Enough reality show back in 2015 with the goal of recruiting athletes to join the company. Since then, contestants such as Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville have managed to make it to Monday Night Raw, and The Velveteen Dream has also been praised for his work in NXT. Though the fan-favorite of the show Zamariah “ZZ” Loupe no longer works for WWE, the company recently caught up with him in Louisiana. ZZ used cutouts of WWE Superstars and had an alligator predict the results of upcoming matches taking place at WrestleMania. Be sure to check out the video down below for some of the gator’s predictions for the show.
