Several wrestlers took to Twitter and Instagram to comment on the horrible tragic passing of El Hijo del Perro Aguayo in Mexico on Friday night. Below are some of the tweets:
There has been a lot of talk as of late that WWE may be interested in Ring of Honor stars The Briscoes (Jay & Mark).
It is being reported via wrestlinginc.com that word within WWE is that the direction of NXT has changed as of late. HHH loves the praise he gets on NXT and he’s looking to capitalize on that.
Originally NXT was meant for “rookies” to learn and eventually establish themselves as stars to be called up to the big leagues known as Raw and SmackDown. However that tune has changed as of late. Now what HHH wants to do is take well established indie wrestlers (more specifically the ones in ROH) wait till their contracts expire and then call them up to NXT. Right now the feeling is NXT is a brand within itself and if you have experimented wrestlers your bound to get great matches.
Now as far as well known faces of NXT there has been no talks of NXT champion Kevin Owens or former champion Sami Zayn being called up to the main roster just yet. There has been talks though of calling NXT women’s champion Sasha Banks up to the main roster along with Adrian Neville and possibly Charlotte. Word is that if these calls up happen it’ll be sometime after WrestleMania.
That doesn’t surprise me especially if one of those 3 debut on Raw the next night. The raw after mania is always a highly rated Raw and further more last year when Paige debuted is proof that there’s no better way to do it.
How do you guys feel about these reports? Does it make you excited and hopeful for the future? I know it does for me. Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

Last Sunday at ROH’s 13th Aniversury reDRagon successfully defended their tag team titles against the Young Buks in what many called the match of the night, with the assist from our good friend, member of the 4Horsewomen, WMMA pioneer, and UFC fighter Shayna Baszler.
By the looks of this video it seems that O’Reilly, Fish and Baszler have formed an alliance. I don’t know about you but to me that sounds pretty bad ass.
Recently a fan asked Shayna on Twitter if we world see her in the wrestling ring again to which Baszler replied “not while there’s faces to smash in the UFC” (Baszler takes on Amanda Nunes at UFC fight night 62 on March 21st)
Still seeing the Queen of Spades and now the newly named “Mother of the dragons” in a the ROH ring again doesn’t seem so far fetched. I mean she’s a certified catch wrestler under the late great Billy Robinson and she dabbles in professional wrestling training under couch Josh Barnett and gets occasional help from WWE diva Natalya.
Not to mention she embodies that heel character pretty well. Check out the reDRagon promo with Baszler here.
Does this make you guys as excited as it makes us here at WrestlingNewsBlog? Let us know in the comments.

Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian appeared on last night’s episode of Comic Book Men on AMC. They were at Kevin Smith’s comic book store, Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash in Red Bank, NJ to sell their comic book they created – Wrestle Aw Yeah Comics! – Written by Christopher Daniels – Artwork by Art Baltazar.
They sold 25 copies for a $1 a piece.
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
