WWE Draft 2023 Results: All Picks From Night Two (May 1, 2023)

Commencing with the April 28th installment of Friday Night SmackDown held in Corpus Christi, Texas, and culminating with the May 1st episode of Monday Night Raw in Fort Worth, Texas, the two-night event has captivated wrestling enthusiasts worldwide. SmackDown, broadcasted on Fox, and Raw, televised on the USA Network, were the platforms on which this spellbinding spectacle unfurled. ## The first night of the event saw four rounds of draft picks, with each brand, SmackDown and Raw, being awarded two picks in each round. These momentous draft selections were announced by distinguished WWE Hall of Famers, who lent their presence and gravitas to the proceedings.

Olympic Champ Gable Steveson Impresses In Wrestling Comeback Ahead Of WWE In-Ring Debut

Amateur wrestling fans were in for a treat this week as Gable Steveson, the highly-touted WWE signee, returned to the mat for the US Men’s Freestyle Open in Las Vegas, Nevada. ## With an impressive display of dominance, Steveson outscored his opponents 44-1, earning four separate victories and advancing to the Final X in Newark, NJ, which takes place next month. In his semi-final bout, he faced off against fellow standout wrestler Mason Parris, whom he bested with a commanding score of 12-1. ## Steveson, who won an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo last year, has made it known that he is eager to represent Team USA at the 2024 Olympic Games.

WWE Legend Jim Ross Champions Paul Heyman's Induction Into Hall of Fame At WrestleMania In Philadelphia

Jim Ross firmly believes that Paul Heyman deserves a coveted spot in the WWE Hall of Fame, and he ardently hopes that Heyman will receive the recognition he deserves during the forthcoming WrestleMania event in Philadelphia. ## Heyman, a former mentee of Ross, has frequently acknowledged the latter's significant influence on his career trajectory, emphasizing that he learned invaluable lessons in performance and managerial skills while serving as a color commentator to Ross's play-by-play announcer in WCW. Despite the occasional friction that arose from Heyman's abrasiveness, Ross continues to hold a deep admiration and affection for his protege. ## During the latest episode of the Grillin' JR podcast, Ross was posed with a question about the likelihood of Heyman's induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2024. Ross expressed his conviction that Heyman's induction, wherever it might take place, would undoubtedly be a resounding success, given Heyman's exceptional talent for entertaining speeches. Nonetheless, Ross acknowledged the profound significance of a potential Heyman induction in Philadelphia, the birthplace of Heyman's revolutionary promotion, Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). ## "Any time is a good time for Paul Heyman to be inducted because he certainly earned those accolades. I have heard no talk about that. It's an interesting question, and it certainly could happen. Heyman is Hall of Fame-bound. There's no doubt about that. But I don't know what the game plan is there. They seem to keep that the Hall of Fame thing kind of under wraps, which I think is great," said JR, who went into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007. "It's just hard to say who's gonna go where when you hear all these rumors, but Heyman deserves to go in anybody's Hall of Fame. Whether it be whether it happens in Philadelphia, it'd be fine with me. I just don't know. I don't know the answer to that, I wish I did, but he's deserving, and it wouldn't shock me if they did it in Philadelphia. So we'll see. I always wish good for Heyman, even though it can be a pain in the ass sometimes." ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

With both wrestlers registering pinfall victories, the match stood even at 1-1. ## With relentless perseverance, Taichi then took the lead at 2-1, unleashing a brutal KO via his signature Black Mephisto move. Shingo retaliated fiercely, drawing level with a stunning KO win via Last of the Dragon. However, Taichi remained resolute, locking in the formidable Seitei submission move and forcing a referee stoppage to secure the decisive victory. ## This historic triumph marks Taichi's first reign in 2023 as KOPW Provisional Champion, a title that will be vacated at year-end, with the eventual holder being recognized as the NJPW King of Pro Wrestling Champion. Shingo, the reigning champion, had impressively defended the title twice before succumbing to the tenacious Taichi's mastery. ## ✨レスリング薩摩の国✨(4/29)を公開‼️『KOPW 2023』争奪戦　鷹木式トライアドマッチ‼️凄まじい死闘に場内大熱狂🔥果たして勝つのは⁉️🆚 @Takagi__Shingo × @taichi0319 📲 #njpwworld で配信中📡👀視聴&登録⏩https://t.co/Tj7UBINMhP#njsatsuma #njpw pic.twitter.com/cyTenmHb5L— njpwworld (@njpwworld) April 29, 2023 ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
