On last night’s WWE RAW there was an injury angle during Jason Jordan’s win over Bray Wyatt, used to write Jordan off the WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view card for Sunday. Wyatt injured the knee of Jordan during the match and later furthered the injury in a post-match attack. RAW Team Captain and General Manager Kurt Angle later removed Jordan from the match and was about to name a replacement when he was interrupted by Jordan, who pleaded with Angle not to replace him. Stephanie McMahon came out onto the stage and told Angle to make the announcement and then Triple H, came out and named himself as the fifth member of Team RAW. Triple H then hit Jordan with a Pedigree.

The very public relationship between Paige and Alberto El Patron seems to be finished … because Thursday night on Snapchat the soon-to-return WWE Superstar said she’s single.

Paige’s friend Jenna posted a video Thursday night on Snapchat in which the WWE star says, “this is why I’m single” while joking around about another couple who were making out.

Sources had told Pro Wrestling Sheet that the couple recently broke up and that it seemed like their engagement was officially called off, but attempts to reach her and Alberto to confirm were unsuccessful.

PWS Editor-in-Chief Ryan Satin discussed this on the latest Wrestling Sheet Radio, as well as all the other top stories of the week. A clip of that conversation can be HEARD HERE.

Daniel Bryan Say’s He’s Trying To Get Cleared ‘As We Speak’ For An In-Ring Return

Daniel Bryan seems to be inching closer towards the comeback he’s been longing for. He recently revealed to The Trentonian that he’s going through the process to try to get cleared for an in-ring return.

Bryan, who hasn’t wrestled in the WWE since April of 2015, has an extensive history of concussions that has made the WWE apprehensive about allowing him to perform again. He has never hid the fact that he wants to wrestle again, and it’s possible the WWE has began to soften its stance on his status after he was (kayfabe) attacked by Kane in a dark room on last week’s RAW, which was the company’s way of not showing him taking bumps. Bryan said his tests have produced positive results, but he understands the WWE’s hesitation.

“I’m trying to get cleared as we speak,” Bryan said. “All my tests have come back fantastic, better than people who have never had any concussion-type stuff. But it’s a weird thing. We’re in a weird situation politically with the climate around concussions; right now, it’s very difficult. WWE would love to have me back, but is that the smart thing for me as a business to bring me back? If I was to come back, and they let me back, would they get a lot of flak for it? They have a ton of stockholders that they’re responsible for. It’s more than just, ‘Is he healthy to do it?'”

The recent return of Kurt Angle, who also has an extensive injury history, has possibly helped Bryan’s case for a comeback. In September it was reported that Bryan had been training his wife Brie Bella for her own comeback. Bryan has also implied that he will be seeking opportunities outside of the WWE if they refuse to give him the chance to wrestle again. He said the situation is complicated because of the nature of the wrestling business, but he’s staying positive.

“There’s more than that to the whole situation,” he said. “All the concussion doctors think that I’m healthy enough to do it, and that I should be able to do it — well, I don’t want to say all of them, I’m sure there’s somebody out there who doesn’t think that — but there’s a lot more than goes into it than just that. That’s the unfortunate situation with giant corporations and big business in the United States.”

WWE Return For Hulk Hogan Recently Discussed

The idea of a return by WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan was recently discussed by company officials, according to Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

As has been the case since his controversial issues from the past few years, the return comes down to the same thing – the feeling of whether sponsors would be OK with Hogan working with the company, and if there would be a media backlash where Hogan’s racist comments were brought up again.

Hogan was reportedly in recent talks with another promotion about a return to the business, with a potentially huge angle, but it’s not happening as it would not have made economic sense.

Rockstar Spud To WWE Update

Rockstar Spud is confirmed to be signing with WWE, PWInsider reported yesterday. As expected, he is pegged to be a part of the Cruiserweight division on 205 Live. Spud had been rumored to be joining 205 Live following his Impact Wrestling release. New details recently emerged on the former X Division Champion’s departure from Impact Wrestling.

In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer stated that Spud’s release was not due to budget cuts within Impact Wrestling, but rather because Spud asked for it. Apparently there was a problem with his work visa, and with the current policies that are being enforced under the Trump administration it became difficult for Spud to get into the country.

Meltzer noted that Impact spent nearly $20,000 in legal fees straighten out any issues with the immigration offices in the U.K. so Spud can return to the U.S. Two weeks after he returned to the country, Spud asked for his release from Impact and was granted it in September.

Spud joins a list of superstars that includes Taryn Terrell, Eddie Kingston, Robbie E, Jeff Jarrett, Bram and Reno Scum, all of whom have parted ways with the company in recent weeks.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn Sent Home From UK Tour (Details)

Image result for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn sent home from SD Live UK Tour

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn went against a creative directive given to them before SmackDown Tuesday night and was told it contributed to them being sent home.

Multiple sources tell PWS that Sami and Kevin were supposed to “feed” for New Day following Zayn vs. Kofi Kingston yesterday, but for some reason they didn’t follow directions and left the ring.

The PWTorch glossary of insider wrestling terms defines “feeding” as: “The heel’s role during a babyface comeback where he runs at the babyface only to be repeatedly fended off, with the hope that the series of bumps by the heel will generate positive fan heat for the babyface.”

Owens hit the ring as soon as the match ended and attacked Kofi as planned. However, he and Sami quickly bailed from the ring. New Day then stood waiting, same for the sound crew who didn’t play anyone’s music, and the segment ended awkwardly when the two wrestlers seemingly went off script by not taking their planned beating afterward.

Multiple sources reached out to PWS, saying the duo have been slightly difficult to work with lately and seem unhappy backstage.

It’s worth noting that they were both close with recently fired writer Jimmy Jacobs and Neville (who hasn’t been heard from since walking out).

Stay tuned for more updates.

Update:

Sami and Owens were told to leave the arena, go back to the hotel and fly home. They are off the current tour but everything else is up in the air. They could be back for Tuesday’s SmackDown but nothing is official other than their status for the current tour.

There’s no word yet on what was planned for Sami and Owens at the November 19th Survivor Series pay-per-view but it’s believed that The New Day will be facing The Shield’s Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. Stay tuned for updates on their status.
