Kevin Owens Suspended Indefinitely For Attacking Grayson Waller During 11/10 WWE SmackDown

New York, 11 November - On the November 10, 2023, episode of SmackDown, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis suspended Kevin Owens. This decision came after Owens disregarded Aldis' orders and attacked Grayson Waller. ## Owens had been temporarily taking over commentary duties for the absent Corey Graves, who was away due to his wife Carmella giving birth to their son earlier in the week. ## Permission for Owens to step in for Graves was granted by General Manager Aldis, under the condition that he refrained from interfering in any matches. However, Owens chose to ignore this directive and confronted Waller, who had been provoking him throughout the evening. ## Following the altercation, Aldis declared Owens' suspension, leaving the duration unspecified. The suspension is expected to be a significant setback in Owens' career.## As one of the WWE's most beloved and skilled superstars, his absence will undoubtedly impact SmackDown. It remains to be seen how the company will manage the void created by Owens' suspension.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WWE To Open Up More Ringside Advertising Inventory, Vince McMahon Agrees

New York, 10 November - WWE has been slowly opening up more advertising inventory in and around the ring over the past few years, and this is expected to continue in the future. This is due to the influence of Nick Khan, WWE's Chief Revenue Officer, who is focused on increasing the company's revenue. ## In the past, Vince McMahon was opposed to ringside advertising, but he has since changed his mind. This is likely due to the fact that WWE has seen how successful other sports leagues have been with ringside advertising. ## It is expected that WWE will continue to sell more ringside advertising space in the future, as this is a new and lucrative revenue stream for the company. WWE has been under pressure to increase its revenue in recent years, and the company is looking at all possible ways to do so.## Ringside advertising is one way that WWE can generate additional revenue without having to rely on its traditional revenue streams, such as ticket sales and television rights fees. ## Check out the full report via Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio: ## Another change we can expect [in WWE] is the look of the ringside area. In the past, Vince McMahon was a proponent of a clean ring, meaning no advertising on the mats, the barricades or around the ring. ## Obviously that has changed due to the influence of Nick Khan. ## It’s noted that Vince is no longer thinking that way & that advertising in & around the ring will be opening up more advertising inventory & they are very happy McMahon agreed to it.’ ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

The Bunny Departures From AEW After The Two Sides Mutually Agreed To Part Ways

Las Vegas, 10 November - According to a recent report from PWInsider.com, The Bunny (Laura Dennis) has officially departed from All Elite Wrestling. It was noted that both parties mutually agreed to part ways. ## No further details are available at this time regarding the reasons for her departure. It is possible that she will explore other opportunities outside of AEW or take some time off from wrestling. ## The Bunny joined AEW at its inception in 2019, marking almost four years with the company, and she consistently contributed as a regular member of the women's division. She played key roles in high-profile storylines, such as her relationship with Kip Sabian and her alliance with The Blade and The Butcher. ## A two-time former TNA/Impact Knockouts Champion, The Bunny is a skilled wrestler. It will be intriguing to see what her next move in the industry will be. ## Predicting Top 3 Wrestling Companies The Bunny Should Join ## #1. WWE: WWE is the biggest wrestling company in the world, and it would be a major coup for The Bunny to sign there. She would have the opportunity to compete against some of the best wrestlers in the world, and she could be featured in some of the biggest storylines. ## #2. Impact Wrestling: The Bunny is a former TNA/Impact Knockouts Champion, so she is already familiar with the company. Impact is a good place for wrestlers to showcase their skills, and it has a growing fan base. ## #3. Ring of Honor: Ring of Honor is another good option for wrestlers who are looking for a lot of exposure. ROH has a partnership with AEW, so The Bunny could still appear on AEW programming from time to time. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WWE SmackDown To Air Live On West Coast For The First Time In History

The upcoming WWE deal is poised to bring good news to fans on the West Coast.## As previously confirmed, WWE will part ways with FOX in 2024, having inked a five-year agreement to return SmackDown to the USA Network.## According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio, In 2024, SmackDown's return to the USA Network will mark the first time it will air live on the West Coast. This means that West Coast viewers will have the opportunity to watch the show simultaneously with the rest of the country, eliminating the need to wait for a tape-delayed broadcast.## This represents a significant change for WWE fans on the West Coast who have long endured watching SmackDown on tape delay. It also bodes well for the show's future, signaling WWE's commitment to making SmackDown an essential viewing experience for all fans, regardless of their location.## The show will air from 5 to 7 on the West Coast, although whether it will remain on a Friday night or move to another night is yet to be determined.

Ricochet Injured In WWE Raw Match, He Is Fine But Remains In Concussion Protocol

Boston, 9 November - Ricochet is currently in the concussion protocol following a WWE Raw match on November 6, 2023.## During the show, Ricochet participated in a Number One Contender Match for the Intercontinental Championship, alongside Ivar, Bronson Reed, Miz, and Ricochet himself. The match had an awkward conclusion in which The Miz claimed victory by pinning Reed.## Originally, the planned finish for the match was to have a double pin, with Ricochet also being pinned by Ivar. In this scenario, both co-winners, including Adam Pearce, were intended to face off in a singles match the following week. The winner of that match would earn a title shot against Gunther.## However, everything took a different turn when Ricochet managed to get his shoulder up. It has been reported that Ricochet may have been dazed early in the match and subsequently chose not to follow through with the intended plan.## The exact cause of Ricochet's concussion remains unclear, but it is possible that it occurred during one of the high-impact moves. Ricochet was involved in numerous high-flying spots throughout the match. ## We extend our best wishes to Ricochet for a swift and complete recovery. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WWE Raw: Could The Show Be Moving To FX In 2024?

Boston, 9 November - It is not yet confirmed whether WWE Raw will move to FX in 2024. However, there have been several reports from reliable sources that suggest this is a possibility. ## According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, "most of the talk" is that Raw is going to FX. He also said that there is a "good chance" that USA Network will lose Raw. ## It is important to note that these are just rumors and reports at this point. WWE and FX have not made any official announcements about Raw moving to FX. However, the fact that there is so much speculation about it suggests that it is a possibility that WWE is considering. ## If Raw does move to FX, it would be a significant change for the show. FX is a more mature network than USA Network, and it is not clear how this would affect Raw's content. It is also possible that Raw would move from its traditional Monday night slot to a different night of the week. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
