Alexa Bliss has several white ink tattoos, and today shared with her fans Twitter the one she considers her favorite. It reads “Believer,” and she had it tattoed on her in 2010, three years before she began training to become a WWE Superstar. White ink tattoos are popular with celebrities due to being discrete, also glow under Ultraviolet light. Rihanna has “Thug Life” tattooed across her knuckles, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin have matching broken heart tattoos, Kelly Osbourne has a white bee on her right shoulder, and Lindsay Lohan had “Breathe” tattooed on her right wrist.

Mike “IRS” Rotunda was let go from his backstage role as a road agent/produce last week and is now beginning to take interviews. In one of his first, he spoke to the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast and attempted to give an objective comparison of his sons Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas. In doing so, he states that he feels Bo is a better worker than Bray.

The brothers competed alongside each other in FCW, which at the time was WWE’s developmental territory, and held the Florida Tag Team Championship twice. In their early years in the business, Bo Dallas looked the more likely to be a single’s success, having been a three-time FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion and one-time NXT Champion. However, on the main roster, their careers went in opposite directions. While Bray Wyatt’s character “The Fiend” has made him a true main eventer, his younger brother hasn’t even appeared on WWE television since October 2019. Things could still turn around for Bo Dallas as he is only 30, and his NXT work showed he was very capable.

AJ Styles’ Twitch channel is always good for wrestling news, and on a recent stream, he confirmed what many always believed, and that was he spoke to All Elite Wrestling before he signed his latest WWE contract.

AEW tried to bring in Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to appear on Dynamite’s first episode last year. Instead, they re-signed with WWE despite AEW having big plans for them. However, on a Talk N’ Shop podcast, Matt Jackson did confirm that he had hoped to bring in a third man, who he refused to names in addition to Gallows and Anderson. Based on Styles’ comments and relationship with the duo, it seems very likely he was the third man.

It’s now highly doubtful we’ll ever see Styles in AEW as he has repeatedly stated he thinks about retirement regularly and that his current contract with WWE will be his last. It’s certainly a fascinating what-if scenario to contemplate.

Lana has taken to Twitter to speak out against her cyberbullies and saying that both her and husband Miro will leave social media if they don’t stop. Miro backed up his wife Lana by retweeting. It appears a TikTok video of Lana and Natalya dancing together has triggered this response. Both shared the same video on their respective social media profiles, and while Natalya received positivity, Lana was harassed.

You can watch the TikTok video that sparked these tweets below.

On Raw this week, Women’s Champion Asuka beat Mickie James by referee’s decision in a match with a strange finish. As James was fighting out of the Asuka Lock, the referee stopped the match out of nowhere. Fans on social media called it a botch, and some even were likening to the Montreal Screwjob.

It’s now understood that WWE officials told the referee through his earpiece to immediately end the match, fearing James was legitimately hurt. It turns out she was just selling and was totally fine. The actual finish was for James to tap out to the Asuka Lock after a struggle, so no storyline harm was done. It just didn’t look good.

If you didn’t see the finish live, you can watch it in the below video, and be sure to look at James’ facial expression once she realizes what has happened.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com has reported that Teddy Hart was sentenced to ten days imprisonment and fined on September 10th, stemming from a March 4th arrest for violating house arrest in Virginia.

It was also ruled there was probable cause stemming from a sperate arrest in February for possession of a schedule III narcotic with intent to sell or distribute. The arrest happened in Richmond, Virginia, where a schedule III narcotic includes anabolic steroids, ketamine, codeine, and hydrocodone. Now, these charges will move on to a grand jury where he faces up to 12 months in jail and a fine up to $2,500. Charges of being in possession of marijuana and having improperly mounted license plates were dropped due to insufficient evidence.

Other court records also indicate that the day after being sentenced, and while incarcerated, he was arrested again due to being declared a fugitive from justice on May 4th. The one plus for Hart regarding his numerous legal woes is that charges against him for the strangulation of his on-again/off-again girlfriend, Maria Maniac, have been dropped.

Teddy Hart received a push in Major League Wrestling last year as their Middleweight Champion but was released shortly after dropping the title for suspected disciplinary issues. He last wrestled back in February on a Team Vision Dojo event in Orlando, Florida.

Sasha Banks missed some time from WWE at the start of the year, and while it was initially thought she might be injured, it turned out she was filming the upcoming season of The Mandalorian. It’s a massive break for Banks, as the Star Wars based show has been an enormous success for Disney+. It’s believed by Star Wars aficionados that she is playing Sabine Wren, a former bounty hunter with expert explosive knowledge.

Earlier today, the trailer for the second season was released, and Banks makes a blink, and you’ll miss it appearance at 0.48, which you can watch below.

The Mandalorian season 2 premieres on October 30 on Disney+.

RETRIBUTION debuted on Raw on the August 3rd edition and since then been causing havoc in WWE. Fans wondered who the men and women under the black masks and wearing black hoodies were, and it wasn’t easy to figure out. It was so tricky to confirm because WWE would literally change those portraying the group weekly depending on who was at the tapings. It’s now understood WWE has settled on the main five group members, and according to internal roster records Dominik Dijakovic, Shane Thorne, Dio Maddin, Mia Yim, and Mercedes Martinez are RETRIBUTION. The rest of the group at present are interchangeable extras.

We would begin to find out more about the group’s motivation based on a video promo during last night’s Raw. RETRIBUTION appears to be disgruntled wrestlers from the Performance Center who are upset about perceived empty promises, lies, greed, and betrayal. They’d go on to ruin the main event between Drew McIntyre and Keith Lee, before brawling with the Hurt Business.

On last week’s Raw episode, Ivar of The Viking Raiders suffered a neck injury when he dived onto the Hurt Business. As you can see in the fan-recorded video below, he gave the X symbol showing he was legitimately hurt.

WWE would update fans on his condition on WWE.com social media, saying that he would be OK following a hospital visit, but it has now been confirmed he will need to undergo neck surgery. The procedure is scheduled for Tuesday and will take place in Birmingham, Alabama. Depending on the type of surgery, recovery times can vary for a wrestler anywhere between two months to a year.

This news is also bad for his tag partner Erik, as WWE is well known for keeping the other half of a team off the television while the other recovers. This recently happened with AOP and was also the case with The Uso’s until it was decided to bring Jey Uso back to help establish Roman Reigns as a heel.

Fans who were hoping Jeff Hardy would make the jump to AEW to be with his brother Matt will be disappointed because Jeff has recently re-signed with WWE. The current Intercontinental Champion revealed in an interview with BT Sport that once fans can return to shows, he will be using “No More Words” as his entrance music, and it was so important to him it was part of his contract negotiations.

This isn’t the first time a wrestler has requested specific theme music as part of contract negotiations with WWE, as CM Punk famously did this with “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour.

In February, Simone Johnson, the eldest daughter of The Rock, started training to become a wrestler at the WWE Performance Center. However, her fledgling career had hit a road bump as she requires knee surgery for the third time. She revealed this to her Twitter followers on Sunday afternoon.

It’s not a good sign to be on your third knee surgery at just 19 years of age, but hopefully, it resolves the issue, and she can resume training sooner rather than later. Her father has had five knee surgeries, so she still has some way to go to catch up with him.

Brock Lesnar is no longer with WWE, but it turns out that when he was in the promotion, he wanted to work with R-Truth. R-Truth revealed this in a recent interview with talkSPORT. It all stemmed from the memorable segment back in January, when as a rib on Lesnar, WWE sent R-Truth out to interrupt a Heyman/Lesnar promo to see if Truth could make Lesnar laugh. While Heyman was in on it, Lesnar had no idea, and Truth successfully succeeds in getting Lesnar to break character. You can relive the segment below.

R-Truth stated the segment was one of his career highlights, and Lesnar approached him afterward, saying he wanted to work further with him.

Perhaps when WWE inevitable resumes contract talks with Lesnar, they can include an R-Truth feud in their negotiations.
