WWE has announced that Noam Dar underwent successful surgery to his left knee in Orlando on Thursday. The injury came during the Fatal 4 Way on the November 27th RAW. WWE notes that the injury had been bothering Dar for weeks but his knee went out again this past weekend. He underwent a MRI before this week’s RAW and it was confirmed that he had a meniscus tear. Dar told the WWE website that this was the first time he’d ever undergone an invasive procedure.

Dar commented on his return, revealing that he will be out for 5 months, and The Zo Train with WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore:

“We don’t have any confirmed time frame just yet because I obviously need to see the post-op, but it’s more than likely going to be around the five-month mark,” Dar explained. “That would be with me working extensively at the [WWE] Performance Center, so that will make a huge difference. Staying on top of everything so we can hopefully take that time down a little bit.”

“I talked to [Ariya] Daivari, Tony [Nese] and Drew ‘Gaba-Gulak’. Enzo [Amore], I haven’t spoken to yet,” Dar said. “Gulak invited me to ‘Star Wars [The Last Jedi],’ but I’m pretty immobile at the moment. Daivari is obviously upset that he’s lost his rooming buddy, so that would be stressful for anyone. So, he’s going to have a long five months of not having my hilarious companionship.”

Triple H Dials Back Reports Of Ronda Rousey ‘Imminently’ Signing With WWE

Triple H dialed back talk of Ronda Rousey signing with WWE. USA Today reported earlier this month that two sources close to Rousey said that Rousey was finalizing a deal with WWE.

“It’s funny because every now and then I wake up and I look at either social media or the news and I see a report and it’s like, well, that’s news to me because I’m the one who would be having that conversation,” Triple H said on CBS Sports’ In This Corner Podcast. “So it’s interesting with ‘sources say.'”

Rousey made her first WWE appearance at WrestleMania 31 in 2015, helping The Rock battle off Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Since that appearance, she had often mentioned that she was interested in doing more with WWE.

“Everybody is very busy and I know that from Ronda’s side and her team, they are looking for an opportunity,” Triple H said. “I have made it very clear that an opportunity exists and it’s just a matter of us getting together and having conversations.

“I wish I had something more to tell you than that but we are just kind of talking and feeling where it goes and she is making movies and doing other things. But it’s exciting and there are a lot of interest on both sides so let’s see where it goes.”

The former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion hasn’t fought since suffering a first-round knockout to Amanda Nunes in December of 2016. She appeared at the May Young Classic earlier this year, and teased a possible WWE run this past October in an interview with TMZ.

Macaulay Culkin Interferes In Wrestling Match Using ‘Home Alone’ Tactics (VIDEO)

Macaulay Culkin bar wrestling home alone match interfere video

Bar Wrestling in Los Angeles got a special Christmas surprise last night after Macaulay Culkin interfered in a match using Home Alone-style tactics.

Culkin got involved during a match pitting Worlds Cutest Tag Team and Dick Justice vs. Peter Avalon, Ray Rosas and Swoggle after he emptied a bucket full of balls into the squared circle — causing the heel team to trip and fall in the middle of the ring.

Macaulay then got into a scuffle with Swoggle and shoved him to the floor.

Minutes later, the actor climbed the middle rope and launched a bucket tied to a string into the face of the opposing team and helped the good guys pick up the win with a top rope splash.

Check out the full video below, which were told they filmed for a new YouTube series Macauley is planning to launch soon.

Top Impact Wrestling Stars Returning To WWE?

Like the recent departure of James Storm, these departures would come as Anthem looks to stop losing money. We also noted that WWE does have interest in signing Edwards for the WWE NXT brand. It appears WWE also has interest in Lashley and EC3 as The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that one or both will end up returning to WWE as they are expected to leave Impact when their deals expire.
