WWE Stars No Match In Tug Of War With Lion Cub (Video)

Last month, the San Antonio Zoo posted a video to its Facebook page showcasing three WWE wrestlers playing tug of war with a 2 1/2 year old lion cub.

Billed as weighing over 300 pounds, WWE SmackDown star Killian Dain and NXT stars Ricochet and Fabian Aichner tested their strength during a visit to the zoo.

Holding a rope, the three couldn’t move the cub, who was separated by glass and holding the rope with its mouth, at all.

Regarded as the King of the Jungle, lions are an apex predator and proved it even at the age of 2 1/2 against three wrestlers.

Rusev Pressing Charges Against Memphis Sheraton Over Theft From Room

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed Rusev filed a police report this week after $500, his wallet and a camera were allegedly taken from the hotel room in Memphis where he was staying.

Rusev tweeted on Monday, “Thank you [Sheraton Hotel] Memphis for “cleaning” the room and stealing my wife camera and my money from my wallet.”

The following day, Paige tweeted about the same hotel with similar accusations.

“If you’re in the Memphis area don’t EVER stay at the [Sheraton Memphis] it’s literally the worst,” the SmackDown Live GM wrote. “Things stolen, bad customer service and room service takes two hours just for a salad and WE are the inconvenience. Ugh. The worst.”

We reached out to the hotel due to the allegations made and a hotel operator told us “no comment” before a manager would get on the phone.

Rusev subsequently replied Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin’s tweet saying he filed a police report and plans to press charges. “Dig in. I’m prosecuting. Especially after the head of security said it’s my fault for living [leaving] my stuff in the room.” He also claims there was a “do not disturb” sign on the door.

According to the Memphis PD, Rusev told officers he and Lana left their room around 12:30 pm. When he returned around 1:10 pm, however, the money was missing from his wallet. Plus, Lana’s camera was gone. “The head of Security Kennen Brooks spoke with the victim and advised,” reads the statement from police. “No other Suspect information is available at this time. This is an ongoing investigation.”

Rosa Mendes Wants To “Dominate” Indie Wrestling, Then Return To WWE For HOF-Worthy Run

rosa mendes wwe return hall of fame dominate indie wrestling interview

It may sound crazy, but Rosa Mendes says she’s planning to “dominate” the independent wrestling scene in an effort to impress WWE officials and one day return for a Hall of Fame worthy run.

Mendes co-hosted this week’s episode of Women’s Pro Wrestling Weekly and said:

I feel like this is my business plan; I want to conquer the independents. I want to dominate in the independents and be super over and have incredible 30-40 minute matches in the independents and show people that I am a great worker and a great performer. As soon as I can say that about myself then I am going to talk to them [WWE]. They may talk to me before then, but I really want to establish myself in the independents before I even step foot in a WWE door again.”

As you may recall, Rosa retired from wrestling in February 2017. The 38-year-old mother made her return, however, at an independent wrestling event last month in Maryland.

The former Total Divas star was asked by WPW about the idea of being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame one day, an odd question considering her run, and Mendes replied:

This is the thing, right now, Rosa Mendes would never be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. I feel because of who I was and because of my character and being a Manager. I know some Managers have, but if you look back, my best time as a Manager was with Primo & Epico, and I did a lot in those matches. They got the tag team titles but I just feel like I don’t think it would happen, and I don’t think I would deserve it. I feel like once I go back I want to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. I want to make history and I want people to respect my work in the ring.

Jeff Hardy Pleads Guilty To DWI, License Suspended For 120-Days

jeff hardy legal update license suspended guilty dwi

WWE United States champ Jeff Hardy plead guilty on Monday to driving while impaired earlier this year and his license was promptly suspended for 120-days.

According to WBTV … Hardy was also fined $300 for court costs and, in addition to turning over his license, the wrestler will need to complete an assessment/treatment class.

As we previously reported, the arrest took place in March after Jeff ran off the roadway around 8pm and struck a guardrail. The crash caused his car to spin out into the middle of the road. Jeff submitted to a breath test before his arrest and blew a .25 — more than three times the legal limit.

At the time, a rep for WWE said, “Jeff Hardy is responsible for his own personal actions. We are investigating the matter and awaiting information from local law enforcement officials.” When he returned from injury not long after, Hardy won the United States Championship.

In case you missed it, the trailer for WWE 24 on The Hardys was shown tonight during Raw.
