Shayna Baszler Says Ronda Rousey Is Under-Appreciated In Some Sense; 'Says People Like To Try To Erase What She’s Done For Women’s Sports'

New York, 8 November - Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey have devoted the majority of their wrestling careers to the business. They, along with Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir, have embraced the moniker "The Four Horsewomen," paying homage to the famous professional wrestling stable, with the endorsement of members Ric Flair and Arn Anderson.## Ronda Rousey's current status in WWE is uncertain. After her defeat to Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam in August 2023, Rousey posted a cryptic message on Instagram, suggesting a possible retirement. She has not appeared on WWE television since then, and the company has not made any announcements regarding her return.## Rousey has now begun wrestling at independent shows in Nevada and is slated to compete at an upcoming Wrestling REVOLVER event.## In an interview with WrestleZone, Shayna Baszler expressed her support for Ronda Rousey. She mentioned that some fans may not personally like Rousey and may be trying to diminish her contributions to combat sports. ## “I think Ronda Rousey is, I think she’s under-appreciated. I think people like to hate her for whatever reason, and it’s been that way in MMA — it’s because she doesn’t mince her words. People like to, because they don’t like her personally, they like to try to erase what she’s done for women’s sports, women’s combat sports, the UFC & WWE.## They like to minimize that just because they don’t like her personally and I think that’s a shame. I might not be on the best terms [with her], but I will never deny that she did a lot for women’s combat sports. I think she’s under appreciated in some sense.” ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Predicting Top 5 AEW Stars Who Could Sign With WWE In 2024

San Francisco, 8 November - Since its inception in 2019, AEW has emerged as an attractive destination for several former WWE wrestlers who found themselves released by the company. Over the years, AEW has secured the services of a substantial number of ex-WWE talents, including notable names such as Jeff Hardy, Bryan Danielson (formerly known as Daniel Bryan), Samoa Joe, Adam Cole, Adam Copeland (formerly Edge), Sting, CM Punk, Paige, and many other prominent WWE stars.## The influx of new talent into AEW has intensified the competition among wrestlers, pushing them to elevate their performance levels and deliver more compelling matches. However, some fans have criticized AEW for its tendency to denigrate WWE and its roster, deeming it unprofessional and unnecessary.## It's noteworthy that the notion of an AEW talent considering a move to WWE was initially challenging to fathom. The motivation behind such a shift might stem from AEW's penchant for signing more high-profile WWE stars, potentially resulting in reduced opportunities for their long-standing talents.## It's worth mentioning that many WWE stars were released during Vince McMahon's tenure, but under Triple H's leadership, the situation appears to be improving. As a result, AEW talents now see a potential path to WWE. A significant recent acquisition by WWE from AEW was Jade Cargill, and there are ongoing rumors suggesting that CM Punk, MJF, Will Ospreay, and other AEW stars might contemplate a transition to WWE. ## Now, let's consider the top 5 AEW stars who could potentially sign with WWE: ## #1. MJF: MJF is currently one of the most popular stars in AEW and has been the subject of ongoing rumors about WWE's interest in him. As a skilled heel, he has the potential to become a major player in WWE if he chooses not to re-sign with AEW when his contract expires.## MJF is the reigning AEW World Champion and has indicated his interest in potentially wrestling for WWE. Given his preference for a higher paycheck, if WWE offers him a more lucrative contract, it's possible we could see MJF make the transition to the WWE Universe. ## #2. Will Ospreay: Speculation regarding Will Ospreay's potential move to WWE has persisted for some time, although there hasn't been any official confirmation. Ospreay's contract with New Japan Pro-Wrestling is due to end in February 2024, and he's currently weighing his options.## Reports suggest that WWE has expressed interest in securing Ospreay's services, and there have been indications of initial discussions between the two parties. Nevertheless, Ospreay has also been associated with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and is reportedly impressed with the company's overall presentation and the talent on its roster. ## #3. CM Punk: Since his departure from AEW, there has been ongoing speculation about the possibility of CM Punk making a return to WWE. Recently, CM Punk's official WWE Alumni profile underwent an update.## It's important to note that the update to CM Punk's WWE Alumni profile does not serve as confirmation of an imminent return, but it certainly has generated significant interest and discussion among fans. Currently, CM Punk remains a highly discussed figure in the world of professional wrestling, largely due to his status as a free agent and the potential for a WWE comeback. Punk's contract was terminated for just cause on September 2, following the unanimous recommendation of the AEW discipline committee and external legal counsel. ## #4. Darby Allin: Darby Allin is a charismatic and exciting performer who has a unique style of wrestling. He is a former TNT Champion and has been a fan favorite in AEW. He could be a major draw for WWE. ## #5. Thunder Rosa: Thunder Rosa is a former NWA Women's Champion and is one of the most respected female wrestlers in the world. She is a skilled technician and has a strong following. She could be a major addition to WWE's women's division. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

John Cena Shares A Photo Of Babe Ruth's Last Public Appearance, Teases Potential Retirement

Boston, 8 November - John Cena has not made any official announcements regarding his plans after WWE Crown Jewel 2023. However, there is speculation that he might be considering retirement from full-time in-ring competition.## Cena's illustrious WWE career spans over two decades, making him one of the company's most accomplished performers. He boasts 16 world championships and has been a headline attraction at numerous WrestleMania events. Nevertheless, in recent years, he has increasingly ventured into the world of acting.## The manner in which John Cena exited the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia, losing to Solo Sikoa, strongly suggests that he may be stepping away from WWE as a full-time wrestler.## Furthermore, Cena's post-match activity on social media has added to the rumors about his potential retirement from WWE. He shared a photo of David Beckham during his final soccer match, hinting at a similar farewell.## Once more, Cena has taken to Instagram, this time teasing his retirement with a photo reminiscent of Babe Ruth's last public appearance in 1948 during Yankee Stadium's 25th-anniversary season. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WWE NXT To Move To The CW Network, Deal Believed To Be Worth 'In The Area' Of $35-$37 Million A Year

Las Vagas, 7 November - WWE is expected to announce their new television home for NXT soon. The CW Network is the most likely candidate, as they have been in deep discussions with WWE for weeks about NXT shifting from its current basic cable home on the USA Network to a traditional broadcast television home. ## This move would be a big win for WWE, as it would give NXT a much wider audience. The CW Network is a major broadcast network with a large reach, especially among young viewers. This would expose NXT to a new audience of potential fans. ## The deal is also expected to be a big financial windfall for WWE. According to a broadcast source, WWE NXT’s deal with The CW Network was believed to be worth "in the area" of $35-$37 million a year. Over double what’s internally believed that WWE were getting from NBC Universal for the NXT series ($15M). ## The CW Network is expected to pay a significant amount of money for the rights to air NXT. This would help WWE to offset the costs of running the show, as well as generate new revenue streams. ## Stay Tuned To Sancilk...

Predicting Top 4 WWE Stars Who Could Be The 5th & Final Member For Each Men's WarGames Team At Survivor Series

Chicago, 7 November - Survivor Series 2023 will feature a WarGames match pitting The Judgment Day against JD McDonagh, Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn. The Judgment Day has been wreaking havoc on Raw throughout the year, and this match offers Rollins, Rhodes, Uso, and Zayn the opportunity to exact their revenge.## It's worth noting that Jey Uso and Sami Zayn teamed up during last year's WarGames match as part of The Bloodline. They emerged victorious, solidifying their friendship in the process.## While it's certain that the match is taking place, there's still some uncertainty surrounding the remaining members of each team. This is a detail that fans are eagerly awaiting.## If WWE hasn't disclosed the complete lineup yet, it's likely because they have something significant in store, which fans are eagerly anticipating.## If you're not aware of the details, we can provide some predictions regarding the top four WWE superstars who are likely to be considered as potential additions to the teams. ## #1. Randy Orton ## One of the top stars that many believe should join Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn is Randy Orton, whose rumored return to WWE has been generating significant buzz for several months. It appears that the day of his return is drawing nearer. Recent reports suggest that Orton is eyeing Survivor Series on November 25 as his targeted return date. ## Orton has been sidelined since May 2022 due to a back injury. However, he has been diligently working on his rehabilitation and is said to be in excellent physical condition. In recent weeks, he has also been spotted at the WWE Performance Center, which is a promising sign that he is close to receiving medical clearance for his return. ## #2. Kevin Owens ## There is a possibility that Kevin Owens could be added to the Men's WarGames Match at Survivor Series 2023. Owens has vocally criticized The Judgment Day and has engaged in numerous confrontations with the group in recent weeks. He has also voiced his support for Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Cody Rhodes, who are set to lead the opposition against The Judgment Day in the WarGames Match. ## #3. Drew McIntyre ## Another potential team member from The Judgment Day's side could be Drew McIntyre. It is conceivable that Drew McIntyre might be included in the Men's WarGames Match at Survivor Series 2023. Recently, he has been seen interacting with the Women's Champion Rhea Ripley, which could potentially influence his decision to join the team. ## #4. CM Punk ## I have a strong belief that a return from CM Punk is on the horizon at Survivor Series in Chicago. If this indeed happens, adding him to the Men's WarGames Match would be the perfect way to showcase his return. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
