AJ Lee returns

Yesterday Monday Night Raw took place from Newhawk New Jersey. There was a divas title rematch from Fastlane which featured the champion Nikki Bella taking on the challenger Paige. To our delight the match was nearly 15 mins and the crowd got into it as well. At one point during the match it looked like Paige was going to become a 3 time divas champion by submitting Nikki via PTO but Brie Bella made sure that didn’t happen, breaking it up causing the DQ

As usual the Bella’s were looking to double team Paige which they succeeded in for awhile and this sent the crowd into a frenzy of “AJ” chants. The Jersey crowd soon got what they wanted when the familiar tune of “light it up” filled the arena and the hometown hero herself AJ Lee came charging down the ring. Yes ladies and gents instead of skipping AJ ran to the ring.

Once in the ring AJ started whaling away on Brie Bella but the numbers gain seemed to be to much as Nikki blindsided AJ getting the uperhand, that didn’t last forever though because  Paige then comes to the aid of AJ. The frenemies then do a little double trouble of their own to clear the ring and send the Bella’s running scared.

This moment was great and showed that when executed properly the divas can have some mark out worthy moments too. Now that AJ is back what does it say for the divas divison? Could this mean a Bella’s vs Paige and AJ match at mania? Would it mean that AJ and Paige can be the next legit women’s team aside from the Bella’s?(site owner Trevor Decker seems to think so) You know what they say keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

We must take into consideration that a program with Stephanie vs AJ has been something the WWE universe has wanted for quite sometime and with the exchange on Twitter that AJ and Stephanie had last week it would be great for WWE to capitalize on that.

Whatever is next for the WWE divas after last nights turn of events it looks like it’s going to be great. After all there was a backstage exchange involving both Paige and AJ where AJ said quote: “here to give divas a chance, can the AJ and Paige tag team that Trevor believes in to over more then their feud did and can it be what’s needed to take the divas to new highs? Looks like we’ll have to watch to find out

Madusa (Alundra Blayze) to Be Inducted Into WWE Hall Of Fame

It was announced on RAW that former Women’s Wrestling Champion Madusa (Alundra Blayze) will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2015.

It’s hard for me to refer to her as Alundra Blayze because to me she’ll always be Madusa. She competed in WWE as Alundra Blayze, so I understand why she is being inducted under that name.

Madusa was probably the first women’s wrestler that I seen that made me realize that women can perform in the world of professional wrestling on the same level as the men. Madusa helped make women’s wrestling what it is today.

Congratulation Madusa on this achievement, it is well deserved.

Royalty invades Ring of Honor 

 

Yesterday  ROH heald their 13th anniversary PPV live from Las Vegas. One of the matches on that card was  the Young Bucks taking on the Tag Team champions reDRagons. During this match something very special happened, reDRagon had a certain queen acompony them to the ring and that Queen was none other then the Queen of Spades Shayna Baszler.

Anyone who has been following this site for the last year knows that Shayna is one of our biggest supporters and a good friend; so I speak for everyone here when I say it was indeed a huge mark out moment.

One thing that I loved was that the commentators made sure that fans knew who she was by highlighting the fact that she is a pioneer of WMMA and a catch wrestler. The match many great moments but here is a break down of Baszler’s involvement and what it lead to.

The crowd was upset at Fish for even kicking out.More Bang For Your Buck almost got the three, but Baszler pulls the ref out. The Bucks chase down Baszler, but Kyle comes out of nowhere and takes them out. A big tornado DDT sets up a top rope Falcon Arrow from Fish. Chasing the Dragon doesn’t get the pin as Matt Jackson pulls the ref out! ReDRagon keeps the advantage with a DDT/wheelbarrow suplex keeps the advantage, followed by Chasing the Dragon for the 3 count.

There you have it folks legendary Shayna Baszler had a hand in a great victory. Could this be a sign of more to come? We all know Baszler has a love for Professinal wrestling and I know I wouldn’t mind seeing her in the squared circle. Only time will tell.

One thing is for sure though we here at WrestlingNewsBlog couldn’t be any happier for Shayna and we are honored that we get to share this moment with you all

Vince Russo Opens Up About His Departure From His Own Website

As noted earlier, Vince Russo announced that he is no longer a part of Pyro & Ballyhoo, the website that he started last May. Russo released the 26 minute video above regarding his departure.

Russo started off by spoofing stories about his departure while taking with “Fast Eddie” on the phone, referencing his former writing partner, Ed Ferrara. At the 6:53 mark Russo starts to discuss what happened.

Apparently Russo had someone create the site and his Twitter account for him and he was told last Wednesday that there were issues with the site. On Friday evening Russo was going to post a story about the Hulk Hogan appreciation night at Madison Square Garden and realized he was locked out of the site. He had an idea it was coming, so he changed his Twitter password, only for it to be reset by someone else. He said that he has been locked out of his Twitter account since Saturday morning. His lawyer is working on it, and he expects to regain control of his Twitter account next week.

Russo added that subscribers to his website were automatically charged for their monthly subscriptions via PayPal, and that he hopes their money will be returned. He re-iterated that he is no longer part of the site and that he will not be providing any content for that site.
