AJ Styles addressed fans at a indy show about possibly entering Royal Rumble match:
“I don’t know what the future holds for me. (fans chant Royal Rumble) I’ll tell you what… if I’m not recovering from some weird armbar submission and there’s a spot in the Royal Rumble… (fans chant “you deserve it”) I don’t deserve a thing, I don’t deserve you but I’ll tell you, if you put me in that Royal Rumble I’ll kick some ass for you guys.”

You read the headline right folks, The Queen of Spades is set to make her in-ring debut as a professional wrestler. The announcement came last Thursday when Shayna was a guest on the podcast MMA Jam session.
This however won’t be the first time Shayna Baszler has made some noise in the world of professional wrestling, earlier this year she managed ROH tag team reDRagon aiding them in victory against the young Bucks at ROH’s 13th Anniversary show. Then just a few weeks ago she made her presence known at ECCW’s Ballroom Brawl 4 When she laid a beating on goddess Mandy AND cost Nicole Matthews the titles in the main event triple threat ladder match.
This time though the MMA veteran will get to show the world what catch wrestling is all about as she takes on one of the biggest stars in the independent wrestling circuit Chearleader Melissa aka Melissa Anderson. Here is what Baszler had to say about the match:
Chearleader Melissa is a former Shimmer champion and a former TNA knockout where she competed under the names Raisha Saeed and Allisa Flash.
Baszler and Melissa will main event on the night of September 26th 2015 for wrestling promotion QPW at the Evalyn community center in Reno Nevada.
As far as Baszler’s MMA career goes she has went on record to say that she is NOT done fighting and she will return to the cage in the future, but for now the queen of Spades is having some fun and living out one of her dreams.
As a fan and friend of Shayna’s I couldn’t be any happier for her and know that she’s going to take the wrestling world by storm.
I will be sure that I keep you all updated as to when tickets go on sale for this event so be sure to check our Twitter @WrestlingNewsbg regularly to stay in the loop. Now I’m not making it official BUT yours truly may be attending this event and if I do you can bet I’ll be bringing exclusive coverage so STAY TUNED!!!

This past Saturday on July, 11th 2015 ECCW (Elite Canadian championship wrestling) held their Ballroom Brawl 4 event in Vancouver Canada.
By the photos and video I’ve seen online man do I wish I was there. Not only because I enjoy good professional wrestling but also because our buddy Shayna The Queen of Spades Baszler made her ECCW debut.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Shayna in a squared circle, earlier this year she managed tag team ReDragon at ROH’s 13th anniversary event.
This time though she was the enforcer for her friend Kenny Lush as he took on Bishop. Bishop had goddess Mandy on his side so Shayna was just evening the playing field.
Shayna did what she set out to do and that was teach “the goddess” a lesson. Baszler ripped out Mandy’s weve and even put her in a devistating toe hold (ankle lock) that should teach Mandy to never call the queen “a rachet and basic bitch” ever again.
Baszler wasn’t done there though because she even had some involvement in the main event fatal 4 way ladder match, for both the ECCW and Canadian title; in a match that involved Nicole Matthews, Billy Suede, Artemis Spencer and Ethan HD.
At one point in the match it looked as if Nicole Matthews was closing in on victory with some guidance from Baszler but then out of nowhere Baszler staying true to her roots goes full blown heel and Baszler bombs’ (Powerbomb) Matthews off the ladder and straight into the turn buckle.
Needless to say Shayna definitely made her presence felt at ECCW and I think it’s safe to say that Baszler is out to conquer the world of professional wrestling.

Enjoy! (I know I did)
Global Force Wrestling has removed WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall from it’s roster page. This past weekend Hall was escorted from an independent wrestling event. The promoters claimed Hall was too intoxicated to perform at the show. Here is a video of the incident that TMZ Sports posted:
There are rumors that Samoa Joe has agreed to a deal with WWE but nothing has been confirmed. Joe is scheduled to compete at two Northeast Wrestling (NEW) shows – Saturday August 1st at Dutchess Stadium in Wappingers Falls, NY and Sunday August 2nd at a location to be announced next week.
WWE usually doesn’t allow their signed talent compete for other companies.
Also on the August 1st show are – Rey Mysterio, Alberto El Patron, The Young Bucks, Mickie James, Velvet Sky, NEW Champion Matt Taven, Brian Anthony and many others to be announced.

It is being reported by PWInsider that Las Vegas wrestling promotion Paragon Pro Wrestling informed the talent in their locker room that the company would soon be announcing a national television deal.
The deal will be with Pop TV, formerly known as the TV Guide Network. The channel is available in standard definition on both DirecTV and Dish Network, and high definition on Verizon FiOS. The channel is a joint venture between CBS Corporation and Lions Gate Entertainment. The channel is available in 80 million homes.
PPW features talent from the southern California area, and has also seen the likes of former WWE talents Gangrel and Victoria. It appears that former TNA announcer Todd Kenely will be handling announcing duties for the show.
PWInsider also reports that PPW taped television Tuesday night and had state of the art equipment on hand. Current Lucha Underground announcer Matt Striker is rumored to be directing and producing.
The roster was told that the show will debut sometime this summer.

Australian female wrestler KC Cassidy has signed a developmental deal with WWE and will report to the WWE performance center in April.
Lance Storm said a student of his was signed to a contract on MLW radio a few weeks back and since has been confirmed it was KC Cassidy. She had a tryout with WWE back in August and was awaiting a visa clearance to be able to move to the states.
Cassidy has recently competed in “PWA” She began wrestling in 2009 and is a firmer champion in her own right. I’m sure her presence in NXT will be a greet one thus adding that much more diversity to an already established talented roster.
