Undertaker VS Brock Lesnar Set For SummerSlam
Last night on RAW The Authority wasted no time in officially announcing The Undertaker VS Brock Lesnar for the main event of this years SummerSlam.
Update On Sting’s Return To WWE For SummerSlam
Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that there are plans for Sting to get involved with the Bray Wyatt VS Roman Reigns feud. With Luke Harper reunited with Bray and it looks like Dean Ambrose will be teaming up with Reigns, it is believed that a new member of The Wyatt Family will be introduced, as Erick Rowan is out injured, making it a 6-Man Tag Match at SummerSlam with The Wyatt Family VS Reigns, Ambrose & Sting. Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Sting is set to be brought into the storyline late in the game, likely as a big surprise.
TNA Making Changes To Wrestlers Contracts
PWInsider reports that a good number of TNA wrestlers have been told over the past week that their current TNA contracts will be dropped. The contracts include a monthly guarantee on pay, but TNA is offering to replace them with per appearance deals.
TNA previously paid wrestlers a guaranteed monthly fee and then paid them per appearance. In some cases, TNA will now pay wrestlers a little more per appearance than they were already making, with the idea that it will make up for the loss of the guaranteed pay. IF TNA starts booking more dates, the wrestlers could potentially make even more money.
According to PWInsider, there are many TNA wrestlers who are not happy with the change. It’s possible that some of the wrestlers may turn down the new deals and wrap up their runs with the company. TNA still may keep top stars like Kurt Angle or Jeff Hardy under guaranteed deals but most of the company will be working under per appearance deals going forward.

Shayna Baszler set to have first pro wrestling match
You read the headline right folks, The Queen of Spades is set to make her in-ring debut as a professional wrestler. The announcement came last Thursday when Shayna was a guest on the podcast MMA Jam session.
This however won’t be the first time Shayna Baszler has made some noise in the world of professional wrestling, earlier this year she managed ROH tag team reDRagon aiding them in victory against the young Bucks at ROH’s 13th Anniversary show. Then just a few weeks ago she made her presence known at ECCW’s Ballroom Brawl 4 When she laid a beating on goddess Mandy AND cost Nicole Matthews the titles in the main event triple threat ladder match.
This time though the MMA veteran will get to show the world what catch wrestling is all about as she takes on one of the biggest stars in the independent wrestling circuit Chearleader Melissa aka Melissa Anderson. Here is what Baszler had to say about the match:
Chearleader Melissa is a former Shimmer champion and a former TNA knockout where she competed under the names Raisha Saeed and Allisa Flash.
Baszler and Melissa will main event on the night of September 26th 2015 for wrestling promotion QPW at the Evalyn community center in Reno Nevada.
As far as Baszler’s MMA career goes she has went on record to say that she is NOT done fighting and she will return to the cage in the future, but for now the queen of Spades is having some fun and living out one of her dreams.
As a fan and friend of Shayna’s I couldn’t be any happier for her and know that she’s going to take the wrestling world by storm.
I will be sure that I keep you all updated as to when tickets go on sale for this event so be sure to check our Twitter @WrestlingNewsbg regularly to stay in the loop. Now I’m not making it official BUT yours truly may be attending this event and if I do you can bet I’ll be bringing exclusive coverage so STAY TUNED!!!
