Related image

Maria Kanellis is planning on returning to the ring this summer.

Maria was recently backstage at WWE Money In the Bank, one of her first trips to a WWE event since she and Mike Kanellis welcomed their first child together back on April 4th.

Kanellis recently posted the following Instagram post and noted that she will be in Florida in early August to fight for WWE TV time. No word yet on if WWE will be using her for The Mae Young Classic, which tapes on August 7th and August 8th. Kanellis noted in another Instagram post that she would like to team with her husband at WrestleMania 35.

Hmmmm… mommy is ready to get back to work. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages come see the most talked about couple in wrestling prior to joining the greatest show on earth, WWE. Imagine what could happen if self made talent could meet the biggest marketing machine of them all? An over night success is when experience meets opportunity. A Superstar is when a talent meets WWE TV time. I’ll be down in Florida at the beginning of August fighting for that time. Even if I’m doing it with stretched out mommy belly skin and a baby on my hip. I don’t have a college education saved in the bank for my baby girl so momma has to go back to work. #unscriptedreality #themoon #backtowork #firstlady #milkmoney Just call me mommy the money maker!!

It’s been 8 years since I was considered a full time wrestler. Crazy. #unscriptedreality #passionismymotivation #milkmoney

It’s looking more and more like Daniel Bryan will be re-signing with WWE once his current contract expires on Saturday, September 1st.

Bryan is now being advertised for the WWE European tour in November, as well for the December 26th WWE live event from Madison Square Garden. We’ve noted how Bryan was also announced for the WWE Super Show-Down event from Australia on October 6th, which will air on the WWE Network.

It should be noted that WWE’s website also has Bryan listed for all SmackDown live events after September 1st.

The day his contract expires, September 1st, Bryan is advertised for the WWE live event at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland. He is scheduled for the live event the following night in Kalamazoo, MI, that Monday’s live event in Saginaw, MI and the next night’s SmackDown taping at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on September 4th. For all of those shows he’s scheduled to team with WWE Champion AJ Styles and WWE United States Champion Jeff Hardy to face The Miz, Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe.

WWE event listings are always subject to change but it is interesting that Bryan is being booked for several shows scheduled for later this year.

WWE Officials Discussing Main Roster All Women’s Event In The Fall

Image result for WWE Women

Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that WWE officials are internally discussing the idea of presenting an all women’s event for main roster talent in the fall.

As you may recall, women were not allowed to participate in WWE’s Greatest Royal Rumble event earlier this year in Saudi Arabia. Sources tell us the company might make up for the controversial decision, however, as the idea of an all women’s show taking place in late September or October is seriously being kicked around by higher-ups.

It’s unclear if the event would additionally feature some of the women on the NXT roster, outside talent or former stars … because the show hasn’t been set in stone just yet.

Pro Wrestling Sheet‘s Editor-in-Chief Ryan Satin has all the details in the video below.

Goldust (Dustin Rhodes) will be out action for an unknown amount of time, as he went under the knife to undergo surgery on BOTH of his knees.

The 49-year-old traveled to Birmingham, Alabama for surgery performed by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Dugas on Tuesday … but no additional information was given on the extent of the injuries.

After the surgery was complete, he tweeted, “Hey everybody, letting you know that both my knee surgeries went well. Ready to ride up outta here.”

While there’s no timeline on his return to the ring, Goldust has already been eyeing potential opponents on Twitter.

Kaitlyn Returning To WWE To Compete In The 2018 Mae Young Classic

Related image

WWE just announced that Kaitlyn will make her WWE in-ring return at the 2018 Mae Young Classic.

WWE issued the following:

Former Divas Champion Kaitlyn will return to the squared circle to compete in the Mae Young Classic.

After more than four years away from WWE, former Divas Champion Kaitlyn will make her in-ring return this summer when she competes in the 2018 Mae Young Classic.

The news, which was first reported by ESPN, makes Kaitlyn the first official participant to be revealed for this year’s 32-woman tournament.

Rising to fame in 2010 when she won Season 3 of NXT, which was a competition series among WWE rookies at the time, Kaitlyn quickly became a staple of what is now known as the WWE Women’s division.

With an extensive background in bodybuilding and power lifting, Kaitlyn used her remarkable strength and explosiveness to conquer opponents. She reached the summit of the division in January 2013 when she defeated Eve to capture the Divas Championship in her hometown of Houston on the 20th Anniversary of Raw. Kaitlyn held the title for 153 days before losing it to one of her greatest rivals, AJ Lee.

Upon leaving WWE in early 2014, Kaitlyn set out to build her own business from the ground up. Today she stands as the CEO and founder of Celestial Bodiez, a women’s fitness apparel company. Since she was last seen on WWE TV, Kaitlyn has adorned the cover of Iron Man Magazine, and made a cameo on UpUpDownDown.

Stay tuned to WWE.com for more Mae Young Classic updates as they become available.

Fandango Provides Update Following Surgery

Fandango recently suffered a torn labrum which required surgery. He was in Birmingham, Alabama yesterday for the procedure and it was said to be a success. Fandango was happy to report his status update via social media and thank everyone for their support.

Fandango’s tag team partner, Tyler Breeze, was asked how he will deal with his partner’s absence. One fan was especially blunt when he asked Breeze if he was ready for six months of being treated like an enhancement talent until his partner comes back.

Breeze responded asking if the fan meant the last three years instead, referencing the team’s frequent losses. Breezango’s last match was in late June on Main Event where they partnered with Bobby Roode to defeat The Ascension and Curt Hawkins in a six-man tag match.

During a recent interview with The Gorilla Position, Fandango opened up about wanting to transition out of the team’s comedic personas and take part in more in-ring action.

“We are not completely comedy and backstage characters, but a little bit of The Files and a little bit of time in the ring. I think we wrestled about 4-5 times by the end of the year last year so this year we are hoping for a little more in-ring time, which I think would be great.”
