Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed the injury Drew McIntyre suffered during his match at NXT TakeOver is legit, but he won’t know how serious it is until Monday.

For those who missed it, McIntyre lost the NXT Championship to Andrade ‘Cien‘ Almas on Saturday night and was clutching his left arm near the end of the match — but it’s unclear what caused the injury to occur.

During Triple H’s livestream after the show, the WWE exec said Drew would be getting an MRI tomorrow for what appears to be a torn bicep.

McIntyre was also interviewed backstage and said from experience he can tell the injury isn’t good.

Check out his interview below:

The final women’s competitor for Team SmackDown at Survivor Series was announced on Saturday by Shane McMahon … and it’s not as surprising as speculation had hoped for.

Shane tweeted, “Individual competition drives every  Superstar. Even in defeat,  proved herself to be a fierce competitor and will be an asset to Team Smackdown’s 5 on 5  Team. Let’s go to work, Nattie.”

Natalya also tweeted saying, “Thank you ! I’ve bled blue since day one and I AM THE BEST as we all know [devil emoji] Smackdown  will win everything at !”

Now that Paige has reportedly been cleared to return, fans have been speculating as to how her comeback will go down. Many were hoping she’d be the final member of Team Smackdown, even though all signs seem to point towards the 25-year-old returning to Raw.

Ric Flair Suing Former Manager

According to TMZ Sports, Ric Flair is suing his former management (Legacy Talent and Entertainment) for money he claims he didn’t receive for the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on his life. The amount for that totaled $25,000. He claims that money instead went to his former management group and Flair says he was never informed or given his share of that payment. There was also an endorsement deal with Jake’s Fireworks for $12,000 that Flair says is missing. When he reached out to Legacy, they told him they used it on legal fees, which Flair said he never authorized them to do.

Update On ‘Broken Matt Hardy’ Trademark

According to PWInsider, there’s an update on the “Broken Matt Hardy” trademark where it’s been published for opposition on December 19. This means any parties that want to challenge have 30 days to do so. If there aren’t any, then Matt Hardy will have ownership and can use it within or outside of WWE. Since leaving for WWE, there’s been a long intellectual property battle between Hardy and Impact Wrestling’s parent company, Anthem, where Hardy even offered to outright pay $10k-$15k for the gimmick.

The Rock‘s daughter is only 16-years-old, but “The People’s Child” says she’s already thinking about stepping into the ring.

Simone Johnson spoke with The Hollywood Reporter after being named Golden GlobesAmbassador this year — an honor given to celebrity offspring — and dropped a bombshell.

When asked about her love of wrestling, Simon responded: “It’s a sport that is unlike anything else in the world. There’s just a certain amount of passion that every move and match requires, and that’s so admirable. It’s definitely something I’ve thought about and want to pursue.”

Adding, “I plan to study business in college — NYU, hopefully — and after graduating, I want to pursue wrestling and eventually transition into talent management.”

“The Nature Boy” Ric Flair helped make Starrcade a popular thing in wrestling and it’s why he’ll be front and center at WWE‘s upcoming live event with the same name.

WWE.com says they’ve now confirmed Flair will be part of the show and the report notes that he won his second of sixteen World Championships at the very first Starrcade.

Ric’s daughter Charlotte Flair is scheduled to wrestle Natalya in a cage match for the SmackDownWomen’s Championship, so it seems safe to assume he’ll accompany her to the ring.

Some of the other matches taking place will be AJ Styles vs. Jinder Mahal, The Usos vs. The New Day vs. Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, Baron Corbin vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode vs. Dolph Ziggler and Dash Wilder vs. Dustin Rhodes.

David Otunga And Jennifer Hudson Split, She Files Protective Order

David Otunga‘s relationship with Jennifer Hudson is over and the singer has filed a restraining order against the WWE announcer — but his lawyer released a statement claiming it’s a custody tactic.

The couple’s split, and subsequent protective order, was first reported by People. TMZ followed it up with a report which includes a statement from David’s lawyer Tracy Rizzo.

“David Otunga has been trying to negotiate the terms of an amicable parenting agreement with Ms. Hudson for several weeks now.” The statement continues, “However, when it became apparent to Ms. Hudson that Mr. Otunga would be the parent granted residential care of the child, as a result of Mr. Otunga being the child’s primary caregiver while Ms. Hudson pursues her career all over the world, Ms. Hudson decided to file a meritless Petition for Order of Protection in an effort to gain an unfair advantage in the custody dispute.”

Rizzo adds, “As a result of Mr. Otunga’s career in the WWE, Ms. Hudson felt that she could give an award winning performance in court to portray herself as the victim.  Mr. Otunga has never abused or harassed Ms. Hudson or their son.”

Jennifer Hudson’s rep told People.com that the order was filed in the best interest of their child.

Even though Jennifer doesn’t accuse him of it, David’s lawyer says he wanted to make it clear that the announcer never got physical with his fiancee.
