Rusev Cleared By Doctors To Return From Injury

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that Rusev has been officially cleared by doctors to return to the WWE ring.

Rusev went under the knife back in March to repair his injured shoulder, but it was never quite revealed how the injury occurred or what the exact issue was.

The former United States Champion was last heard from when he informed Shane McMahon via Twitter that he’d only wrestle on SmackDown Live if he received a title match at Money in the Bank.

Rusev didn’t get an answer, so he teased an appearance on SD Live to get one — but it never happened.

Will we finally see a resolution to this? Only time will tell.

Braun Strowman Cleared For WWE Return

Braun Strowman has been cleared to return to action, according to PWInsider. Word going around at last night’s WWE RAW was that Strowman was cleared a week ago. He will be back on RAW as soon as creative comes up with a plan for his return.

Strowman underwent elbow surgery in mid-May to fix some issues he’d been dealing with. WWE reported then that Braun would be out of action for up to 6 months but it was speculated that the lengthy absence was announced just to set up a super-human comeback ahead of schedule.

It will be interesting to see how WWE brings Strowman back as he’s still in a feud with Roman Reigns. Braun has stated that he’s not done with Reigns yet. As noted, Reigns will be on next week’s RAW to announce his SummerSlam plans.

Bray Wyatt’s Wife Files For Divorce, Lawyer Claims He’s Been Cheating With WWE Ring Announcer JoJo

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed Bray Wyatt‘s wife recently filed for divorce … and even though her lawyer claims he was cheating with JoJo, the wrestler says his ex just wants to defame him.

According to court documents obtained by The Sheet, Samantha Rotunda filed for dissolution of marriage back in April and said their relationship was irretrievably broken.

The Daily Mail first reported that she wants their marital home, child support and alimony.

Bray Wyatt then filed legal docs claiming his ex-wife had been making defamatory statements about him to people in the community “in an effort to ruin his reputation.” He also claimed that she had been posting lies on social media to damage his business ventures in the entertainment industry.

Because of this, he’s asking the court for an injunction to keep her quiet.

Samantha is fighting that though. Her response states: “Ms. Rotunda will not only prove Husband’s misrepresentations and lies, but prove that Husband’s allegation and claims are nothing more than a media ploy and endeavor to create an offense to defend his adultery and misdeeds.”

“Husband is responsible for his own poor choices; Husband is responsible for their consequences.”

Rotunda’s lawyer Ray Rafool — who also represented the ex-wives of Hulk Hogan, John Cena and Alberto Del Rio — told the Daily Mail that WWE ring announcer JoJo is the woman Wyatt has allegedly been cheating with. Her name isn’t mentioned in the documents though.

Sources tell Pro Wrestling Sheet that Samantha didn’t initially plan to mention the adultery in court documents to keep the split as positive as possible for their kids, but that all changed once Bray attempted to tarnish her name in his response — causing his college sweetheart to enter her misdeed claims into court.

Two Raw Superstars Set To Join Cast Of ‘Total Divas’, Renee Young Not Returning

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that RAW Superstars Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax were recently added to the cast of Total Divas for season 7.

It was previously reported that Eva Marie will no longer be apart of the Total Divas cast, and now Renee Young revealed that she’s no longer part of the cast.

Young replied to a fan Saturday night on Twitter who asked if she’d still be on the show next season and Renee answered, “Nope I am not, but the new cast will crush it!!”

So it appears that Bliss and Jax will be replacing Eva Marie and Renee Young on the show.
