Over the years, the 2300 Arena has had numerous names, including Viking Hall, Alhambra Arena, The Arena, and Asylum Area. Still, to wrestling fans it will forever be known as the ECW Arena, having hosted Extreme Championship Wrestling from 1993 to 2001 for a total of 105 shows. Apart from ECW, countless other promotions have also run from the venue, including ROH, XPW, MLW, and CZW, who actually have run more events there than ECW did. Now though, the venue could soon be out of business as its current owners are struggling due to restrictions meaning they can only run at 25% capacity. Initially, they were asking for $100,000 but have now reduced that to $75,000 and, as of writing, raised $4,135 of that from 43 donors. To find out more about their current situation and possibly donate, you can check out there GoFundMe at this link gofundme.com/f/save-2300-arena.

On this week’s new episode of History’s hit series Pawn Stars, a seller was looking to sell an ultra-rare Kamala Hasbro action figure featuring a moon on its belly. The reason for its rarity is that only 24 are believed to have been produced with the moon, with the rest having a star. They can go for up to $10,000 if still in packaging due to so few in existence, and Matt Cardona, known as an avid figure collector owns one.

The seller named Erik wanted $7,500, and in typical Pawn Stars fashion, an expert was brought in to appraise the figure. You can watch the clip and the outcome below.

This isn’t the first time wrestling related items have appeared on Pawn Stars with Paul Bearer’s Hall of Fame ring, an outfit worn by Randy Savage, and a Hulk Hogan signed Sports Illustrated all appearing on the show over the years.

During this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley was cutting a promo backstage when he would drop the fact that he has a pregnant wife at home. His wife, Renee Paquette, would then follow up on this by posting a photo of them both smiling and hugging on Instagram. You can watch Moxley’s announcement in his promo below.

This will be the first child for both Moxley and Paquette, who began dating in 2013 after meeting while working for WWE. They’d go on to get married at their Las Vegas home in an impromptu ceremony on April 9, 2017.

Jake Hager, wrestling as Jack Swagger, won the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania XXVI. On the following night’s Raw, he looked set to cash in on WWE Champion John Cena but changed his mind at the last minute. He’d then appear on SmackDown and instead would cash-in against World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho. At the time, this all felt as though it was the storyline all along, however speaking on a recent episode of Talk Is Jericho, Hager revealed that Cena had actually refused to lose the title to him.

The reason why Cena refused to put over Hager wasn’t revealed, and possibly not known. There have been rumors of Cena holding wrestlers back over the years, with Mr. Kennedy, Ryback, Tyler Reks, Ken Doane, and Wade Barrett often used as examples. Cena would eventually drop the WWE Championship to Sheamus on June 20, 2010, as part of a fatal four-way match involving Edge and Randy Orton, which saw Sheamus capitalize on an attack by Nexus. On the same night, Hager would lose his World Heavyweight Championship to Rey Mysterio ending his reign at 79 days.

Matt Sydal debuted for AEW at All Out in September as part of the 21 Man Casino Battle Royale. Unfortunately, his debut was memorable for the wrong reason as he slipped when going for the Shooting Star Press. However, despite his debut not going to plan, that didn’t stop AEW from bringing him back for additional appearances, mainly on AEW Dark, where he has impressed.

On November 17, 2020, AEW would officially announce that Sydal was signed to the company, which promoted Sydal to thank his family, friends, and fans on Twitter.

Sydal began wrestling a the age of 17 and was the first person under the age of 18 to receive a wrestler’s license in Missouri. After working independently for several years, he’d wrestle for TNA and ROH before signing with WWE in 2007 and wrestled as Evan Bourne up until 2014. During that time, his career highlight came when he won the WWE Tag Team Championship with Kofi Kingston.

On the 9th November episode of Raw, Nia Jax threw Mandy Rose out of the ring, and she’d land hard on her shoulder after getting tangled in the ropes. While many people blamed Jax, who has a reputation for injuring people, it seemed to be a genuine accident with nobody to blame.

As neither WWE nor Rose made any announcement throughout the week, it was thought she was OK. Unfortunately, it turns out that isn’t the case, and on last night’s Raw, WWE did a storyline to explain why she would miss the Survivor Series. They did this by having Jax and Shayna Baszler attacking Rose at the start of a six-woman tag match, and Baszler would stamp Rose’s taped shoulder into the steel steps.

Later in the show, Dana Brooke would be interviewed about Rose’s injury, and was herself attacked,this time by Reckoning/Mia Yim. With both Rose (legitimately) and Brooke (kayfabe) being injured, WWE announced that Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce would be taking their places in the Team Raw lineup at Survivor Series.

Rose’s injury is the second one to change the women’s Raw vs. SmackDown match, as Chelsea Green was supposed to be on Team SmackDown but broke her wrist during her SmackDown debut. As of now, the match is Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Lana, Lacey Evans, and Peyton Royce vs. Bianca Belair, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, and two more competitors yet to be announced.

Seth Rollins is expected to wrestle two more matches for WWE this year. The first will be against Murphy on this week’s upcoming episode of SmackDown. The other will be at the Survivor Series when he is part of Team SmackDown after qualifying as a member by defeating Otis.

The reason for Rollins’ hiatus is because his fiancée Becky Lynch is set to give birth in December. The actual amount of time Rollins is set to miss is not yet known, but WWE anticipates him being back in time for the Royal Rumble on the 24th of January. When he does return, it is expected he will no longer be involved with Murphy and the Mysterio’s. Instead, a new feud will commence with Big E considered a potential opponent.

On Friday 13th November Zelina Vega was released from her WWE contract, and Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter tweeted it was because she supported unionization. He’d later delete the tweet, causing speculation that might not have been the reason, but you can still read it at archive.org.

Now SI.com has revealed that the actual reason for Zega’s release was for breach of contract, and the decision was made by Vince McMahon. This directly stemmed from her opening an Only Fans account after WWE had imposed their ban on working with third parties. Following her release, Vega began Twitch streaming again, where she is completely heartbroken, but this isn’t the last fans have seen of her.

WWE put Vega in a challenging position because while being a WWE superstar was her dream, she made more money through her side projects, especially Twitch. It’s now believed that once Zega’s 90-day non-compete clause expires, she will quickly be signed by another promotion as she had been prominently featured on WWE television. Her last appearance being just one week before being released, where on SmackDown, she was a part of a Survivor Series Qualifying Triple Threat match against Ruby Riott and Natalya.

This past Friday night marked the 15th anniversary of the tragic passing of Eddie Guerrero, and social media was filled with touching tributes and memories of the legendary wrestler. The following day though, at ICW’s No Holds Barred show, independent deathmatch wrestler Alex Ocean slighted the WWE Hall of Famer by shouting “f*ck Eddie Guerrero” after doing Guerrero’s trademark Three Amigos suplex’s.

Upon hearing this, outraged fans took to Twitter to call him out for it. These tweets seemingly made Ocean realize how offensive his remark was, and he would tweet out the below apology.

Ocean, who refers to himself as The New Bad Boy, has only been competing since 2018 and with under 60 matches under his belt, is relatively inexperienced. However, that is no excuse for his lack of respect; hopefully, this teaches him a valuable lesson about getting the wrong type of heat.

With his “Final Farewell” set for next weekend’s Survivor Series, The Undertaker spoke to the New York Post to promote the pay-per-view. During the interview, he would address the claims that Vince McMahon kept making him return over the last few years. He’d refute these, denying he can’t say no to McMahon, and describe his boss of the last 30 years as both “a caring human being” and “not the monster that people think that he is.” The Undertaker would add that he “can walk away anytime I want.”

McMahon is often portrayed only as a ruthless businessman, and the recent firings of Gerald Brisco, Tony Chimel, and Zelina Vega would support that. “Superstar” Billy Graham has even gone as far as to describe McMahon as “the single most evil human being walking the face of the earth.” However, The Undertaker has clearly had much more positive experiences with McMahon and seen a side of him few others will ever experience.

Glenn Jacobs started wrestling in 1992 and made his way to the WWE in 1995, where he’d wrestle as Mike Unabomb, Isaac Yankem, and the fake Diesel. None of those gimmicks caught on, and after spending six-month sat at home, he’d debut as Kane, and the rest is history.

Jumping forward to March 2017, Jacobs announced his intention to run for mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. In August 2018, he’d achieve his goal by crushing his Democrat opponent Linda Haney by 25,580 votes. Despite his new job, he’d return to WWE on the 1st October episode of Raw and reunite with The Undertaker leading to a match against D-Generation X at Crown Jewel in November.

Since then, he’d make a couple more appearances for WWE but hasn’t wrestled. That is unless you count 24/7 Championship comedy segments with R-Truth. Now speaking to Ryan Satin of Fox Sports, Jacobs has revealed that while he isn’t officially retired, he is fine no longing being in the ring considering he is 53.

While not announced, Kane will likely appear at the next weekend’s Survivor Series pay-per-view, billed as The Undertaker “Final Farewell.”. However, considering he is one of WWE’s most long-lasting and beloved characters, it’s hard to imagine WWE not giving him his own proper sendoff when the time comes.

Alexa Bliss met musician Ryan Cabrera at the SmackDown on Fox premiere back in October 2019, when the Miz introduced them backstage. The following month they would officially start dating. One year on, Cabrera has popped the question, and Bliss would accept it, which she confirmed in the below tweet.

This is Bliss’ second engagement, as she was previously engaged to Buddy Murphy, who she worked with in NXT. They would split in September 2018 but are believed to be good friends still. For those not familiar with 38-year-old Ryan Cabrera, he is best known for his 2004 album “On the Way Down,” which reached #8 on the Billboard 200 album chart and sold over 66,000 copies in its first week. In his personal life, he had had an on-and-off-again relationship with Audrina Patridge of the reality television series The Hills since 2002, but that ended once he met Bliss.
