As noted, Tammy Sytch, also known as former WWE star Sunny, is once again behind bars, with cops saying she was a “fugitive from justice.” According TMZ Sports, jail records showed that Sytch is currently locked up in New Jersey on contempt of court and fugitive from justice charges.

In a new TMZ Sports report, just before Sytch was sent to jail she was cited for two DUIs in two weeks. The first was on January 23 in New Jersey and the second (again, in New Jersey) was on February 2, which also involved a car accident that police say she fled from. Sytch was later found, cited another DUI and leaving the scene of the accident.

According to PWInsider, Sytch could be sent back to Pennsylvania for previous charges that could imprison her for up to five years, plus additional penalties.

Sytch, who turned 45 years old in December, has been arrested several times over the years. In 2012, she was arrested five times in a four-week span, for disorderly conduct, third-degree burglary, and three counts of violating a protective order. She was arrested a sixth time in January 2013, also for violating a protective order. She served 114 days in jail and was released in May 2013.

In January 2016, Sytch pleaded guilty to driving while under suspension. On August 18, 2016, a judge sentenced her to 90 days in jail but counted her 97 days in rehab as jail credit. On September 23, 2016, 18 days into her probation, Sytch was arrested for violating her parole. The arrest was due to three DUI arrests in 2015. Sytch remained in jail on these charges through her arraignment in January 2017. She was fined $1,496.45 for the remaining charges and released on February 3, 2017.

Sytch has been active on the independent wrestling scene in recent months with autograph signings and appearances at shows. She appeared for MCW Pro Wrestling last Saturday in Hollywood, Maryland, managing fellow WWE Hall of Famer “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan to a win over MCW regular, Joe Keys.

Road Dogg Reflects On Jeff Jarrett’s Influence On His Career, Talks Current WWE Stars Jarrett Brought Up In TNA

WWE posted this new video of “Road Dogg” Brian James discussing Jeff Jarrett, who will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame during WrestleMania 34 weekend.

Road Dogg says he couldn’t be happier for Jeff as they somewhat came up together as second generation southern Superstars.

“I really had a good time with Jeff growing up,” James said. “He taught me a lot, not just about sports entertainment but being a business man and I think we forget that’s what sports entertainers are. So he taught me a lot about that. Really happy for Jeff Jarrett.”

The WWE reporter did not name TNA but asked James about working with Jarrett outside of WWE and behind-the-scenes.

“Well again and it goes back to what he taught me about being a business man. He was the first guy that I was around in this industry that treated it like a business, and treated himself like the commodity, and how to make money in that business of yourself,” James said. “He’s always been a consummate businessman, a great worker as well as far as in-ring action goes. Again, couldn’t be happy for Jeff Jarrett.”

James was also asked about Jarrett’s influence on today’s WWE Superstars and he said all you have to do is look at SmackDown to see Jeff’s influence. He pointed to how half of the guys Jarrett “brought up & brought in” have titles on SmackDown – WWE Champion AJ Styles and WWE United States Champion Bobby Roode. James also named Samoa Joe and said Jarrett has had a huge influence no the entertainers of today but will also probably influence some going forward.

James then talked about the “Be My Baby Tonight” single that was used as Jarrett’s theme song back in 1996, and how his 14 year old daughter knew all the words when she recently played the song in the car. Road Dogg noted how Jarrett’s induction has brought a tidal wave of comments on the song.

“A lot of people make fun of me for that song or whatever. I really enjoyed recording that song. I consider myself to be a little bit of a singer in the shower so it was cool to actually be in a studio and get to record that song,” James said. “The whole storyline with me and Jeff was interesting and cool at the time. It got cut short due to personal reasons but man, it’s been so cool to feel it all come back. Hopefully it’ll be a great weekend for the Hall of Fame.”

Who will John Cena Face At WrestleMania 34, The Undertaker, Rey Mysterio Or Somebody Else?

Image result for Cena vs Undertaker or Cena vs Mysterio

There was speculation that John Cena would face The Undertaker at WrestleMania 34. Then there was speculation that the match would no longer be happening and Cena would be facing Rey Mysterio. Now it seems that the Cena vs Taker match might still be on. Whether it’s Cena vs Taker or Cena vs Mysterio, we will probably have to wait until after SmackDown’s Fastlane pay-per-view to find out for sure.

As seen on WWE Monday Night RAW this week, John Cena teased a match against The Undertaker. Cena said that he was looking for a path to WrestleMania and had issued a challenge to The Undertaker, but WWE officials told him that it’s impossible to make the match.

“I have figured out that I need to stand in this ring and do something that I should have done a long time ago, and that is to put out a WrestleMania challenge to the Undertaker!” Cena exclaimed to a huge pop from the crowd. “You want WrestleMania? That IS WrestleMania! And that match is not happening. I don’t make the matches. As obvious as this seems, I’ve been told that the match is not happening because that match, once again, is impossible.”

It seemed unlikely that WWE would have the match mentioned on live television, only for it not to happen. However, Justin Barrasso reported at Sports Illustrated on Wednesday that Cena will be facing Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania after it was ruled that The Undertaker will not be working the show. It was added that Mysterio was backstage at SmackDown Live on Tuesday and is reportedly finalizing a deal with WWE by the end of the week. Mysterio was backstage at the SmackDown live event this past Monday in San Diego and posted a photo after the show with Sin Cara.

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the plan for WrestleMania is still Cena vs. The Undertaker as of this past Monday night. He noted that he hasn’t heard of any changes in plans since, and that the only thing that would prevent that match would be Taker pulling out of the show for some reason, like getting injured during training. It was noted that Cena’s promo was to defer attention from the dream match until after he works the SmackDown Fastlane pay-per-view.

Cena appeared on SmackDown Live on Tuesday night and defeated WWE Champion AJ Styles in a non-title match to earn a spot in the main event of Fastlane on Sunday, March 11th. Cena, Styles, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler will compete in a Six-Pack Challenge for the WWE Championship.

As for Mysterio, Meltzer noted that he has no deal with WWE, but has a meeting with Triple H scheduled very soon. A deal is reportedly dependant on Triple H clearing his schedule, as he is not looking to work full-time. There are also some other details that need to be ironed out, like opportunities outside of wrestling for Mysterio.

Colin Cowherd Talks Attending SmackDown And Teases WWE Moving To FOX

Colin Cowherd, who hosts The Herd with Colin Cowherd on FOX Sports Radio and FOX Sports 1, as well Speak For Yourself on FS1, discussed his visit to SmackDown Live this week.

“It was like a rock concert,” Cowherd said of the show on Speak For Yourself, which you can watch in the video above.

Cowherd has been a very vocal critic of pro wrestling in the past. He once famously referred to wrestling fans as “booger eaters,” and often criticized WWE for the number of wrestlers dying young due to drug-related deaths. He has seemingly since changed his stance on the business.

“If you haven’t gone to WWE, it’s loud, there’s bikinis, there’s fireworks, there’s on-stage performance,” Cowherd said. “There’s a lot of interaction with the crowd. It was fun, I had a blast!”

Cowherd noted that while he didn’t have the opportunity to meet Vince McMahon, he did interact with his daughter, Stephanie.

“It’s really a professionally run organization and it was a hoot,” Cowherd said. “We laughed for two hours.”

In addition to Cowherd, Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated revealed that FOX Sports President Eric Shanks and FOX Sports Talent Producer Jacob Ullman were at the show. FOX has expressed interest in securing the television rights for WWE when their deal with NBCUniversal / USA Network expires on September 30th, 2019. WWE has stated that they plan to announce their U.S. distribution plans between May and September of this year. Their exclusive negotiating period with NBC expires sometime this spring.

Cowherd teased WWE possibly moving to FOX. Cowherd’s co-host, Jason Whitlock, said that he used to be a wrestling fan when he was younger and looks forward to “possibly getting more involved or watching more wrestling in the future.”

“You should,” Cowherd said. “Very good sport! Coming to a network near you!”
