Rusev appeared to suffer some type of arm injury at last night’s WWE Main Event match against Neville at the TV tapings in Phoenix, Arizona.
According to PWInsider, word is backstage that Rusev is believed to have suffered a torn bicep. There is no confirmation as of yet of the severity of the injury, but it was bad enough to stop the match.
In regards to Rusev’s post-match tantrum, that may have been done to make up some of the TV time they lost when the match had to be cut short.
UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey mentioned at yesterday’s UFC 193 media event that she wants to become WWE Divas Champion at sometime.
“What I would love to do, I got an Olympic medal, I would want to retire from MMA as one of the greatest of all time, I would love to have the chance to be boxing world champion, and I would love to have the chance to be a jiu-jitsu world champion. I’d love to have the chance to be the Divas world champion and just be the best of everything at one point.” Rousey said. “How that is possible to do, I’m going to have to figure that one out. I think if anybody’s capable, I think that I am. I think it’s just a matter of prioritizing and timing and figuring out when I can do which, when. I’m figuring it out. I’d love to, but it’s a process.”
WWE Divas Champion Charlotte responded to Rousey’s comments on Twitter:
Yesterday, The Young Bucks stated that they have signed with a major wrestling promotion, but left it to speculation on which one it was. Today they made the announcement that they have signed with Ring of Honor. Below is their video announcement followed by a press release:

“We evaluate the landscape right now, we look around professional wrestling, and everything is evolving.

It’s all about quality for us. We call Ring of Honor home; you’ll be seeing a lot of us.”
Since 2009, The Young Bucks have regularly fought in Ring of Honor’s tag team division and have proved to be one of the most entertaining tag teams in history, continuing to push their popularity with signature taunts and world-famous SUPERKICK parties. Ring of Honor is excited to officially be the home of the Young Bucks.
The Young Bucks will also continue to compete for New Japan Pro-Wrestling, where they are part of the Bullet Club through ROH’s continued partnership. They are also 3-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions and have won the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championship once before, but are hungry to get the gold back again.
