It’s been reported by the Cobb County Police Department in Georgia that on Sunday, August 16, 2020, former WCW star Buff Bagwell lost control of his Chevrolet Tahoe. He hit the median, then a metal fence and collided with a free-standing bathroom at the Cobb County Transit bus station. He was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital with serious injuries. As of writing, we don’t know how his recovery is progressing. Investigators believe the cause of the accident was that Bagwell was impaired by prescription medication at the time of the accident. This is the second serious car accident that Bagwell has been involved in. On April 23, 2012, he suffered a seizure while driving and was hospitalized after breaking bones in his neck, face and jaw, and required breathing and feeding tubes. Despite having four plates inserted in his face, he was able to resume wrestling on the independent circuit.

Keith Lee won the NXT Championship from Adam Cole in July at NXT’s Great American Bash event. The match’s result got out after another NXT wrestler posted a photo on Instagram of Keith Lee celebrating in the ring. Despite quickly deleting it, it was screenshot and shared on social media.

Surprisingly, WWE has potentially spoiled another NXT Championship match result, as WWE’s social media team posted an advertisement early. The ad in question promoted title belts at 20% off and featured Karrion Kross’ photo with the NXT Championship draped over his shoulder. The post was quickly deleted, but again numerous screenshots were taken and shared as you can see below.

If Karrion Kross does win the NXT Championship at Saturday’s NXT TakeOver event, it will show how highly WWE regard him and make Keith Lee almost a transitional champion. Kross only debuted in April, and while undefeated, he has only wrestled six matches for NXT.

Ring of Honor is preparing to tape two months of television in Baltimore, Maryland. It will be the companies first shows since March, and among the wrestlers in attendance is EC3, who is expected to debut.

He previously teased joining ROH after his release from WWE, but after returning to Impact Wrestling at Slammiversary in a video at the end of the show, that appeared not to be happening.

Impact Wrestling will have had to approved EC3’s appearance in ROH, and are seemingly open to their talent to wrestle for rival promotions they don’t have working relationships with. Impact Wrestling is also allowing recently signed Gallows and Anderson to wrestle for New Japan in the future.

Renee Young, who has been with WWE since October 2012, will soon be departing the company. It’s understood that last week she informed WWE management, and is now working her notice period.

Initially, she worked as a pre-show host and backstage interviewer, before going on she would go on to work as a color commentator on NXT, Raw, and SmackDown. She would also host WWE Backstage, which was recently canceled.

As Renee is the wife of AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, speculation has already begun on social media, that she could wind up with him working for All Elite Wrestling. Although considering she is such highly regarded broadcaster, it is just as likely she could be heading to a different sport altogether.

Renee Young leaving is a huge loss to WWE and will be a massive gain for whoever she ends up working for.

Dorian Mak, who was previously part of WWE’s NXT brand, was arrested on Monday in Orlando, Florida, for failing to appear in court. This is considered a misdemeanor of the first degree and is punishable by up to one year in jail or a fine up to $1,000. Mak had been stopped twice by police for driving with a suspended license. He paid $722 in penalties but did not learn his lesson and was caught a third time and was due to attend court on June 24th. When he didn’t attend, a warrant for his arrest was issued.

Dorian Mak, whose real name is Dan Matha, was with WWE between 2015 and 2020, and predominantly wrestled on house shows. However, he was part of the Greatest Royal Rumble match in Saudia Arabia wrestling under his real name. His time with WWE came to an end in April when he was part of the mass cuts.

This past weekend Phillip A. Thomas II was >arrested inside the home of Sonia Deville while possessing a knife. He’d admit to police at the scene that he was planning on kidnapping her and now faces a lengthy prison sentence after being charged with aggravated stalking, armed burglary of a dwelling, attempted armed kidnapping, and criminal mischief.

Yesterday Thomas, who is represented by a public defender, was in court. He opted to use his fifth amendment right to remain silent, and a temporary injunction was set, meaning he cannot contact Deville. Later this month, there will be another hearing to make it permanent. It was also confirmed a pre-trial detention hearing would be held this upcoming Thursday, where it will be decided if Thomas can post bond. At present, he is being held without bond at Hillsborough County Jail in Florida.

Goldberg wrestled twice this year for WWE. The first match was in February at Super ShowDown when he won the Universal Championship by defeating The Fiend. The second time was at WrestleMania 36, where he dropped the belt to Braun Strowman. It was thought that could have have been the end of WWE’s time with WWE, but he has revealed in an interview with The Pop Culture Show that he signed a three-year deal, so has two-years remaining.

So while we won’t be seeing any more Goldberg matches in 2020, fans will be pleased to know they’ve at least four more matches enjoy. One of them might be the match against Roman Reigns that Vince McMahon originally wanted for WrestleMania 35.

Velveteen Dream returned to NXT last Wednesday having been on a two-month hiatus. This return caused social media uproar due to the serious allegations made against him, which many fans felt needed to be thoroughly investigated. It should be noted that Patrick Clark Jr. (Dream’s real name) has denied all accusations.

He is now booked to wrestle Finn Balor this week in a match where the winner earns a spot int he ladder match at NXT TakeOver XXX for the currently vacated NXT North American Championship.

WWE is testing the ThunderDome on Wednesday and Thursday and goes live on Friday with SmackDown and then SummerSlam, Raw, SmackDown, Payback, and Raw. At present, WWE has only confirmed their schedule to the end of August, but it’s understood they have an agreement to use the Amway Center until October 30th.
