SmackDown General Manager Paige took to her Instagram Story after WWE Money In the Bank in Chicago and noted that she was assaulted by a fan. She wrote the following:

“To the ‘fan’ that decided to pie face me through my car window and then tell me to ‘lose some weight Paige’.. you inspired me to keep being myself and eat whatever the f I want. Good luck with your karma!”

Paige’s car was reportedly leaving the Allstate Arena with Paige riding in the passenger seat when the incident occurred, according to PWInsider. Paige had her window down and was saying goodbye to the fans, high-fiving some, when a male fan struck her & yelled at her. The fan was confronted after the incident but not by Paige. There’s no word yet on if he will be banned from future WWE events but we will keep you updated on the story.

AJ Styles Confirmed For WWE2K19 Cover, Ronda Rousey Pre-Order Bonus

aj styles wwe2k19 cover video reveal

It was announced that AJ Styles will be on the cover of WWE2K19.

The announcement kicked off with Corey Graves, who introduced an excited AJ Styles. He then talked about being an actual gamer and showed off the new packaging.

AJ also announced the “Million Dollar Challenge” during the presser, which will apparently allow gamers to somehow enter a tournament that will end with a million dollar game against Styles.

The WWE Champion has long stated that being on the cover of WWE2K was on his bucket list. Because of that, AJ says he started dancing after being given the news a few weeks ago.

Ronda Rousey will be the pre-order bonus.

Watch the video of the announcement below:

A  commercial was shot this week for WWE2K19 featuring Styles and Rousey.

Rey Mysterio was on-set and seemed to be playing a big part in the advertisement. Mysterio shared a photo on Instagram this week with Jeff Hardy— the location being tagged as Jupiter — and followers with a keen eye noticed it was definitely a recent picture.

NJPW G1 Climax 28 Participants Revealed

The G1 Climax is a 20-man round robin styled tournament that is considered NJPW’s most prestigious tournament of the year. The winner will receive an opportunity to challenge for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 13. Once the G1 ends on August 12, the winner does have to defend their title opportunity until next January, so winning the G1 doesn’t necessarily guarantee a future title shot.

Earlier today, the participants were announced and included current IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega. If Omega loses any match, that typically sets up future matches and it’s rare for the champion to win the tournament, but would solidified his dominance over the division. Those making their debuts in this year’s tournament are Hangman Page and Jay White.

Here is the full list:

* Kenny Omega
* Michael Elgin
* Jay White
* Hiroshi Tanahashi
* Togi Makabe
* Juice Robinson
* Kazuchika Okada
* Hirooki Goto
* Tomohiro Ishii
* Toru Yano
* YOSHI-HASHI
* Bad Luck Fale
* Tama Tonga
* Hangman Page
* Tetsuya Naito
* EVIL
* SANADA
* Minoru Suzuki
* Zack Sabre Jr.
* Kota Ibushi

NJPW will be announcing blocks and key match-ups in the next couple days.

Also, NJPW Lead Announcer Kevin Kelly tweeted out that all 19 G1 shows will be live and include English Commentary on NJPW World (about $9 a month to sign up).

WWE Announces Super Show-Down At Massive Venue In Australia

australia wwe super show-down mcg melbourne cricket ground

WWE plans to make history by putting on Australia’s biggest-ever wrestling show later this year at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

We first reported on the possibility of the event back in December — at the time it was going to be called Global Warning II — but now it’s official, with a new name!

The October 6 event called WWE Super Show-Down appears to be produced in the style of Greatest Royal Rumble. WWE hopes to pack the 100,000 seat stadium by bringing all its top talent — and featuring what’s being labeled the “final showdown” between The Undertaker and Triple H.

John Cena, Kurt Angle, and Ronda Rousey are among the other names being billed. It’s worth noting WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar does not appear on the advertisement featuring two dozen wrestlers. No other matches have been announced.

According to The Herald Sun, Melbourne is looking at this event as a tourism opportunity. They’re hopeful the show can create an economic influx similar to Global Warning in 2002 — which generated more than $20 million for the local economy.

The Sun notes the event will feature a Wrestlemania atmosphere utilizing the same design and production team from WWE’s top event. The MCG is expected to be configured for about 70,000 seats, according to The Sun. Back in 2002, some 56,000 fans attended Global Warning at Etihad Stadium.

The event is being put on as a “partnership” with promotion company TEG Danity.

A WWE news release says the show will be available on WWE Network and be available internationally on pay-per-view. Tickets go on sale June 28.
