Make sure you are reading us every day. Let The Wrestling News and Updates get you completely up to date.
Mr. Money in the Bank Plans For Otis
Most thought "what in the world" when Otis won the Mr. Money in the Bank briefcase. According to Ringside News who spoke to a tenured member of the creative team, WWE actually had plans for Otis to feud with The Fiend before his babyface turn which had been planned. It was thought that WWE may just wait until live fans return for his cash-in. I know many fans were upset that fans weren't there for Mandy Rose and Otis' first kiss.
Ringside News also asked if Otis would just forget to cash his contract in and let it expire. The creative team member wouldn't confirm or deny. Do you think that maybe Ringside News gave them a storyline? Probably. Who knows? We all know Vince can come back with a new idea at any time.
Pineapple Pete Is Now In WWE
Chris Jericho when he was on commentary gave Suge D the nickname early on in AEW as Pineapple Pete. At the time, I thought this was excellent. Chris Jericho was basically handing this unknown wrestler a base to make a character out of. Dave Meltzer from Wrestling Observer Newsletter said Pineapple Pete was actually at this week’s RAW tapings. It was noted that he is now working for WWE as an extra in the Raw Underground segments. However, he didn't get a contract but is working on a per night basis.
Edge and Daniel Bryan Now Helping Out in WWE Creative
All I can say is that it is about time. Daniel Bryan has come up with some of his own storylines. Edge on his podcast regularly came up with great storylines. I love hearing that WWE Creative is finally listening. Both are said by Ringside News to be coming up with a way to bring back The Forgotten Sons.
Now is this enough to get me interested in The Forgotten Sons? Gee, I just don't know. Yes, I get a lot of you love them. However, I couldn't. They aren't all veterans and how they portrayed veterans sometimes turned my stomach. I couldn't understand how they got into the Smackdown Tag Team Title picture so quickly. Then I found it even harder to believe that Jaxson Ryker said what he said as they were getting their push. We'll have to see if Edge and Daniel Bryan can make a difference in WWE Creative.
Kylie Rae Gets Engaged
Impact Wrestling's number one contender for the Knockouts Championship, Kylie Rae announced today that she is engaged. She posted pictures of Isaias Velazquez proposing to her with their dog, Gem, helping him out. Velazquez is an indie wrestler who was at the September 12th Warrior Wrestling event taking on Daga as Kylie Rae took on Tessa Blanchard. Both are from Chicago. Velazquez has been on fire, so look for him to be signed soon.
