Shayna Baszler And Adam Cole Coming To The WWE Main Roster?

There continues to be talk of WWE NXT Champion Adam Cole and NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler coming to the main roster, according to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio. There’s no word yet on when the call-ups might happen, but Meltzer noted that Baszler is “supposed to be geared” for a call-up and has everything they’re looking for, from her age to her look and her aura. Cole won the title from Johnny Gargano at Saturday’s NXT “Takeover: XXV” event, while Baszler retained her title over Io Shirai.

NXT Star Rachael Evers Involved In Hit-And-Run Car Accident With Alleged Drunk Driver

Recent NXT signee Rachael Evers was in a hit-and-run car accident today involving an alleged drunk driver while leaving the WWE Performance Center.

Evers said the accident was a hit and run, but she is alright.

“Let me start by saying this: I am ok. I was hit by a drunk driver today on my way home from the PC. Hit and run. I’m extremely thankful it was my passengers side that was hit. Some people aren’t so lucky-please DONT DRINK AND DRIVE,” she wrote.

Despite the driver taking off, Evers managed run after him and snapped a picture of the guy and his license plate.

“Side note: as he drove off, I ran after him and got the best pictures of both his plates and face. I love a good cardio challenge,” she wrote with the photos, seen below.

Road Dogg Reportedly Working Full-Time On The WWE NXT Brand

According to PWInsider, WWE Hall of Famer “Road Dogg” BG James is now working full-time on the WWE NXT brand. His official role and title haven’t been confirmed yet though.

As it was reported earlier this month, James has been working at the Performance Center. He also made a cameo Sunday on the WWE PC Combine, which aired on the WWE Network.

Last month James stepped down as the co-lead writer of SmackDown Live. He quit the position because he was reportedly frustrated with Vince McMahon always making changes to the TV scripts.

Dominik Dijakovic Undergoes Knee Surgery

NXT wrestler Dominik Dijakovic went under the knife this week to have his knee repaired.

Dijakovic shared a video on Wednesday in which he says his knee was surgically repaired this week in Orlando. “I know that many of you, you’d consider this a burden or a setback, but not me,” he explained in the video.

“I consider this a gift. I’m happy that I had a tear in my meniscus. Because this represents sacrifice, this represents discipline, I had to rip away the weakness to rebuild it to be stronger than ever using my blood,” Dijakovic said while focusing the camera on his knee.

No word at this time on when the injury was suffered or how long he’s expected out of action.

Watch the video below.
