WWE And Mattel Launch Girls Product Line Of Dolls

mattel wwe dolls first comic con

Comic-Con is barely underway, yet there’s already some big WWE news coming out of San Diego — Mattel has announced they’re making a WWE line of female dolls.

A statement on the new line reads: “Mattel and WWE are launching a girls’ product line that features the first-ever fashion dolls of Nikki and Brie Bella, Sasha Banks, Natalya, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Alicia Fox and Eva Marie, to leverage the popularity of WWE’s female Superstars and give its sizable girl fan base a new way to connect with their favorite brands.”

Eva’s inclusion in the line is interesting, since it’s been looking like she’s on her way out of WWE.

The dolls will also have role play items like a WWE Women’s Championship title belt, a Bayley-inspired headband and Sasha Bank’s “Legit Boss” rings.

Pre-order is available online at Toysrus.com beginning July 24 and exclusively at Toys“R”Us stores nationwide this September.

NOTE: The art in the story is just an idea of what they say the dolls will look like and not the final product.

donovan dijak not taking bookings hints nxt future audio

If you want to watch ex-ROH wrestler Donovan Dijak mix it up on the independent scene, you better hurry … because the wrestler says he won’t be taking bookings much longer.

Dijak told The New Age Insiders that he’s no longer accepting bookings after PWG‘s annual Battle of Los Angeles — which takes place September 1-3 — but remained coy about his future.

Adding, “There’s obviously going to be a lot of speculation as to what I’m doing. My future isn’t 100 percent completely set in stone at this point yet.”

After a promise of exciting things on the horizon though, Donovan was asked if he had any plans to attend Full Sail University — where WWE films NXT — and he responded by saying, “I’ve been to Full Sail University. It’s a wonderful place.”

Emma Vents About Not Being Used On WWE RAW

Emma expressed her frustration on Twitter last night about not being used on television.

Emma returned to action in mid-June after suffering a shoulder injury in early May. WWE teased a storyline with her and Dana Brooke during the Great Balls Of Fire Kickoff show last week but have yet to follow up on it.

During the Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss match on last night’s RAW, Emma wrote, “watching Alexa Vs Bayley… Then Sasha and Nia.. Love watching others get more opportunities that I never get! Cool..”

Emma had signed a contract with WWE in 2011. She revealed her Emma ring name in August of 2012. She tweeted that she has been with the company for five years and was just sitting backstage at RAW.

Backstage News On Why WWE Talking Smack Was Cancelled

Image result for talking smack

Despite reports of Talking Smack being cancelled due to low viewership, according to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, the reason for the weekly format coming to an end was due to Vince McMahon. The unscripted style of the show played a part as Vince was not pleased with the show and felt it wasn’t best for the company’s interests.

While still very connected to his TV shows, Vince has been reportedly less physically present at TVs, as of late. He was present last week and made the decision to cut the weekly format, and, per McMahon, eventually end it altogether.

Two of the show’s hosts, Daniel Bryan and Renee Young, were apparently unaware of the abrupt change, each sounding off on Twitter. On Friday, WWE put out a statement saying:

“We continuously review WWE Network‘s programming line-up based on a variety of factors, including viewership and subscriber research. Talking Smack and Raw Talk will air following pay-per-view events, and Tuesday will continue to feature 205 Live.”
