Speculation About Bray Wyatt’s SmackDown Promo Last Night

There is a lot of speculation about the promo from Bray Wyatt  on last night’s Live WWE SmackDown. Speculation is that Bray Wyatt was talking about The Undertaker.

In the promo, Wyatt mentioned that he fears nothing living or dead and said after what he does next, it will be hard for the WWE Universe to ever smile again.

At last word, WWE officials were not sure of The Undertaker’s status for WrestleMania 31, but now with the Royal Rumble over, WWE likely got an answer and it appears they are moving forward with the feud.

Drew McIntyre makes TNA debut

Earlier today I posted a huge spoiler of the hardcore country knockout making her return at Impacts tapings in Glasgow Scotland this evening. However that wasn’t the only treat the UK fans got tonight.

I usually hate posting spoilers but this one is too good NOT to share.

Hometown hero and Scotland Native Drew McIntyre aka Drew Galloway made his IMPACT debut. Drew came out to prevent a beat down on fellow native Grado (from British bootcamp) given by MVP and his crew.

This episode of impact will air February 20th. Drew is a former WWE superstar and IC champ but truthfully Drew never got the proper treatment he so richly deserves. It’ll be interesting to see what IMPACT does for him. There’s not a doubt in my mind that in IMPACT he’ll be able to showcase his true talent and one day become a world champion.

So guys are you excited that “the chosen one” is now a member of the IMPACT roster? Let us know in the comments.

Mickie James returns to Impact wrestling

It is being reported that Mickie James made a surprise return at today’s impact wrestling event in Glasgow UK.

Mickie James and Impact wrestler Magnus welcomed a healthy baby boy named Donovan Patrick Aldis into their world in September of last year. Lots of fans were unsure if they’d ever see her wrestle again.

Looks like she’s ready to return though and one has to ask what kind of IMPACT will her presence have in the knockouts division? Only time will tell.

Are you excited for Mickie’s return? Let us know in the comments.

A Moment to Appreciate…The Royal Rumble Numbers 

One of the most exciting times of the year is the Royal Rumble. An entry that may quality for a “You Might Be a Wrestling Fan If…” list is that you may get excited when the annual Royal Rumble Stats/Numbers video comes out. The lucky number 27 spot. How the number 1 and number 30 spot are equally lucky. Time records. While there may be no story lines set in stone, the Royal Rumble serves as a fresh start for the new year—a number one contender is crowned for WrestleMania and with the Rumble out of the way, new angles can begin for the other 29 competitors. Not only is it the beginning of the road to WrestleMania, it is also the beginning of the road to exciting new twists and turns in the WWE world for the 2015 calendar year.
