WWE and JBL took to Twitter this week to congratulate WWE Champion AJ Styles on breaking the record of the longest reigning WWE Champion in SmackDown history. Styles is currently #13 on the all-time list and is set to pass CM Punk for the 12th spot in just under 40 days.
Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed Justin Credible was bailed out of jail on Thursday and now the wrestler has released a statement shedding some light on what happened.
Authorities in Connecticut confirm the wrestler was released from custody this evening. Following his release, the co-host of Justin’s new podcast sent us the following statement on behalf of Credible:
This will be my one and only statement on the matter:
Everyone knows I have a history with addiction, and I have worked hard these last few months to battle my demons and keep my family strong. Like all marriages, mine has had it’s ups and downs. I have regained my sobriety, and today I am clean, and tomorrow hope for the same. All I can do is take it one day at a time and work on being the best me that I can. Issues came about Monday night, and I’ve regretted it every minute since. Their was no domestic violence that night, the only one to call the police was me. I was arrested because of an old protection order that was still in place from a previous incident. I will not make excuses for any of the actions that happened that night, but I promise to my fans, my friends and my family that the man Peter Polaco will never be a negative headline again, and the character Justin Credible still has many great moments left.
In closing, I would like to thank the fans that stuck beside me through this ordeal. Thanks to my countless friends who were there to pick me up and help me get back onto solid ground. Most importantly thank you to my lovely wife and kids who know that though I am not perfect my love for them is unconditional, and we will get through this fight together,
Stay tuned guys because Chapter 2 of my life is not only going to be a hell of a lot better, but it’s going to be done right. 2018/2019 is going to be our year.
It looks like WWE will finally do the Four Horsewomen vs. Four Horsewomen match at the Survivor Series pay-per-view on November 18 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
WWE’s Horsewomen are Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Bayley and Becky Lynch while MMA’s Horsewomen are Ronda Rousey, WWE NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke. Angles were planned and filmed for the match in 2017 but the match never happened. There’s been recent talk of doing the match and word is that teases are being sent out.
Regarding Duke and Shafir in NXT, both are being praised for their work. Shafir has had just two matches so far and Duke hasn’t wrestled anything but practice matches. Duke was set to make her NXT live event debut along with Shafir at a live event in Largo, FL last month but Duke was pulled from the show due to a minor injury. Duke impressed people with a practice match at the WWE Performance Center and some believe she is a “prodigy” at pro wrestling. There’s also feelings that Rousey is great on the big stage, when the match is completely laid out, and that Baszler is definitely ready. The Observer adds that some people believe Duke will end up being the best of the four.
There’s also potential for a Horsewomen angle at the first-ever all-women’s Evolution pay-per-view a few weeks earlier on October 28 but word is that the actual match will take place at the Survivor Series.
Shayna Baszler recently took some time to discuss her famous stable of friends known as MMA’s Four Horsewomen and the possibility of facing WWE’s incarnation down the line with Inside the Ropes.
Baszler was questioned about the possibility of seeing a match take place between the eight women now under WWE’s banner. She said her Four Horsewomen have never backed down from a fight before while taking a shot about how WWE’s incarnation came second.
“If they want it to happen, the four of us are fighters,” Baszler said. “We’ve never turned down any sort of fight. They want to argue about who is the Four Horsewomen and who owns it. I mean, we had it first and that’s… fact. It was given to us so we didn’t just call ourselves that, it was given to us.
“They started calling themselves — I mean we’re an actual team that trains together. Bayley and Sasha — they’re not even friends half the time right now, so who knows what’s going on with them? You know what I mean? Whatever.
“If they want to, we won’t turn down a fight, ever.”
We now know why Matt Hardy has been teasing changes to his WWE status in a series of recent cryptic tweets. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Hardy is scheduled to take some time off due to injuries.
Hardy recently revealed that his lower back and pelvis have started fusing together, and while the pain isn’t too bad, it is frustrating. Hardy is planning on starting new training rehab methods that should help with the pain.
Hardy and Bray Wyatt’s match against The Revival and RAW Tag Team Champions The B Team on Monday’s RAW was done as the blow-off to The Deleters of Worlds tag team, as Hardy teased in his post-show tweet with Wyatt.
There has been talk of Hardy shadowing WWE producers to “learn the ropes” with the idea of him working a producer job in the future.
Hardy is scheduled to undergo treatments for his various injuries and after that is done, a decision will be made in regards to a possible ring return, what capacity he might return in and if he will have to work a limited schedule.

WWE Hall of Famers Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall continue to fuel rumors of a nWo reunion project with a new video on Twitter. As noted, Hogan’s website HulkHogan.comthere’s a countdown clock marking the days, hours, and minutes to October 27.
As seen below, Hogan tweeted a nWo “paid announcement” promo teaser that looks and feels like the legendary promos that aired on WCW TV in the late 1990s.
“We’re back!,” said Nash. Hall added, “We haven’t stirred anything up in a long time, let’s stir the pot.”
The video also shows Hogan spray-painting a World Heavyweight Title belt and commenting on how he still has his swagger.
The rumors of a reunion picked up earlier this month when Hall, Nash and Hogan were seen filming at Hogan’s Beach Shop in Orlando. No word yet on if this is a WWE project but we will keep you updated.
