Nikki Bella shoots on AJ Lee

It is being reported via WrestlingInc that this past Monday after Raw was concluded a divas segment for this Thursday’s Smackdown was tapped. It is said to be one of the better diva segments in awhile. In the promo divas champion Nikki Bella told AJ that Brock Lesnar has defended his title more then what AJ did when she was champion.

It’s not known if that line in particular was scripted or a pure shoot. If the line is kept in the promo then obviously it was scripted, but still this wouldn’t be the first time Nikki has flown off the script.

It should also be noted that according to fans in attendance there was even a cm punk jab when Nikki told AJ that while AJ was on vacation sipping vergin  magaritas the Bella’s were left to carry the decision. (Obviously punk is straight edge so it would be vergin magaritas)

Just in case the WWE does decide to cut this glourios promo you can enjoy the full unedited fan recorded version here

Weather it was scripted or not that’s great way to get heat so kudos to all involved.

Mexican wrestler dies from injuries after match involving Rey Mysterio

AAA wrestler Pedro Aguayo Ramírez, who wrestles as El Hijo del Perro Aguayo, died early this morning after a mishap in a match with Rey Mysterio at a show in Tijuana, Mexico last night.

News reports indicate that El Hijo took the initial move before the 619 in the trachea and experienced whiplash.. El Hijo took a dropkick from Rey to set up the 619, and then slumps on to the ropes.

El Universal reports that Konnan tried to revive Ramírez to no avail. He was later transported to a nearby hospital. Newspaper El-mexicano.com reports that El Hijo died around 1:00 AM local time.

We here at WrestlingNewsBlog.com. send our sincerest condolences to Ramírez’s family, friends and fans.

Ronda Rousey vs Bethe Correia targeted for UFC190 in Brazil 

Runors have been flying around all over the Internet since late last night about Ronda Rousey’s next possible opponent and it’s time we here at WrestlingNewsBlog join the party. The person that is said to be next in line is undefeated Brazilian Bethe Corriea. Bethe is currently 9-0 with two back to back wins over Rousey’s friends and training partners Jessamyn Duke and Shayna Baszler.

Clearly there is no love lost between these two. Bethe has even called Rousey a “selfish champion because she leaves to make movies and doesn’t really care about the sport”

Rousey fired back saying that “if she wasn’t doing all this talking she wouldn’t be getting recognized so she’s doing a good job for herself. In one interview when asked about Corriea beating her teammates Rousey said “I’m the mamma bear and I will f*** her up”

The rumored show down between the two is targeted to take place at UFC190 on August 1st from Corriea’s home counry of Brazil. Although the UFC hasn’t confirmed this bout it’s more then likely to happen for 3 reasons. 1. Rousey said she expected to return in August. 2. Rousey said she would want nothing more then to beat corriea in her hometown and 3. Right now Corriea is the most logical opponent based soly on the history between the two.

I know one things Forsure if this fight does indeed happen I’ll be chearing on Rousey as she dives into enemy territory.

Japanese Wrestling Legend Tatsumi Fujinami Announced For WWE HOF 2015

Japanese wrestling legend Tatsumi Fujinami will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2015. Fujinami became the first person to hold the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and the NWA World Heavyweight Champion simultaneously when he defeated NWA Champion Ric Flair for the title on March 21, 1991 in front of over 50,000 fans at the Tokyo Dome.

The Fans’ Voice for Change 

On the March 9th edition of Monday Night RAW, the night ended with Randy Orton delivering a vicious beat down to Seth Rollins, throwing insults at him sporadically during the assault. Rollins knew that Orton would not associate himself with The Authority when during the match, Orton flipped the bird on both hands, signaling his allegiance against Rollins and his support. The more aggressive side of Orton being unleashed, a sight that is familiar to wrestling fans who have witnessed Orton during his career over the years, was refreshing to see and an example of the WWE listening to fans cries of wanting more extreme situations and less “PG fluff.”

The WWE seems to be continuing to listen to the #GiveDivasAChance campaign, with AJ Lee’s return on the March 2nd edition of RAW featuring her saying, “I figured I’d come back and help give divas a chance,” opening alluding to the worldwide trend generated by fans wanting more air time and respect given to the talented women of the WWE. While these are only just a couple of instances seen, perhaps there are even more changes to be made, and for the better. Social media is a powerful tool for speaking for change, and the more fans are vocal about what they want more of and less of, the more we may be seeing an even better product. Here’s hoping this is the beginning of these news “winds of change.”
