Tony D’Angelo Retains WWE NXT Title In Hard-Fought Defense

NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo was successful in his first title defense against Ethan Page on “WWE NXT: Revenge” on Tuesday, and the pair wrestled a hard-fought battle. After Page stole a pin from the champion on last week’s “NXT” in a six-man tag against DarkState, D’Angelo demanded he face Page.

Page made up with frenemy Ricky Saints in a backstage segment before the match, and he told Saints he’d give him the first opportunity if he won the title. Saints appeared under the ring at one point in an attempt to help Page, but was dragged back underneath. It was revealed to be Shiloh Hill who was also under the ring, and he tied Saint’s feet together and drug him back up the ramp.

D’Angelo took out Page with a back body drop off the distraction, but the match quickly turned back into a back-and-forth battle. D’Angelo rocked Page with suplexes, then a spear, but it wasn’t enough to put him away. Page also kicked out of the Forget About It. He got a thumb in D’Angelo’s eye and tried to put him away with a powerslam off the second rope, then with a splash.

An exasperated Page went outside and grabbed the title, and he and the referee played tug of war with the belt. Page hit the Ego’s Edge to D’Angelo, who landed on the title, but he kicked out. Page looked for the Twisted Grin on the commentary desk, but it was D’Angelo to send him face-first into the ring barricade instead. D’Angelo speared the challenge on the commentary desk, then got him back in the ring and hit the Dead to Rights for the victory.

WWE’s Jade Cargill Addresses Complications With Her Catchphrase

To quote pop culture icon RuPaul, Jade Cargill has the, ” uniqueness, nerve, and talent.” But outside of her athleticism in the ring, she has stellar charisma, specifically, with her catchphrase. Despite working under Triple H, the idea of loosening the reins of using curse words on live television programming remains a gray area. The “WWE SmackDown” star describes the frustration that comes with being, “That B***h.”

“So, I had some glasses that said ‘That B***h,’ I could not wear those glasses. I want to do a shirt that said, ‘That B***h,’ couldn’t do it. I can say it, but I can’t have it on any type of merchandise. I can’t do anything. And I only get a certain amount that I can say,” the current WWE Women’s Champion said on “The Joe Budden Podcast.”

Aside from curbing her potty mouth (which she mentioned was a challenge for her later in the interview), it’ll be hard for her not to use foul words during her upcoming match against “The Eradicator” Rhea Ripley on Sunday at Night Two of WrestleMania 42. Both women have traded several verbal low blows in person and online, leading up to their colossal collision. For now, Cargill is riding high, as she emerged victorious against Ripley’s tag team partner and dear friend, IYO SKY, in the main event of this past Friday’s “WWE SmackDown.”

Chael Sonnen On Jon Jones Walking Back UFC Retirement: ‘That’s Not How Men Talk’

Sonnen went on to ask what Jones is worth without his word after changing his stance within 24 hours. 

“There is a simple question, and it’s not whether you’re retired or not or if you’re going to fight again. It’s simply, what good is your word?” he said. 

Sonnen continued to say on his YouTube channel that Jones couldn’t be counted on, and that he had heard that was the reasoning for not being considered for the White House card. He said it puts the promoter in a difficult position, and pointed to White himself saying so in the UFC 327 press conference. 

“Dana White came out and spoke about this, and Dana said, ‘Man, there’s nothing different than it has been the last 10 years. I told Lorenzo [Ferttita] a decade ago we can’t make a business off this guy.’ You can’t count on him. When he shows up, is it fun? Sure, but you know the result ahead of time. It’s very difficult.” 

“That’s not how men talk,” Sonnen added. He pointed to Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement and how it was known it would be permanent. “There was a respect. While there was a doubt, there was respect, because we knew we could trust him. We knew that his word meant something. Whether we liked it or not, whether we liked what he was saying or not, we knew we could count on it.”

Former AJPW Triple Crown Champion Yuma Anzai Set For Japanese Reality Show

Former AJPW Triple Crown Champion Yuma Anzai will be starring on Season Four of “The Bachelorette Japan.”

All Japan Pro Wrestling announced via its social media that Anzai will be joining the reality show streaming on Amazon Prime Video starting May 1, a marked shift from his usual duties as a wrestler. 

“Yuma Anzai has joined Season Four of Prime Video’s ‘The Bachelorette Japan.’ Please look forward to the stream starting from [May 1] at 20:00!” the announcement read via X. 

“The Bachelorette Japan” will see 14 male participants, including Paris Fashion Week models, sculptors, and business owners, vie for the affection of the titular bachelorette across 9 episodes. Per the announcement, the first week will see episodes 1-4 released all at once. The show is set in Thailand. 

Anzai reigned as Triple Crown Champion from March until August in 2024, dethroning Katsuhiko Nakajima on his way out of the company and becoming the youngest-ever champion; he was 24 years old, breaking Kento Miyahara’s existing record of 26 years old. He lost the title to Yuma Aoyagi after almost 27 minutes of action at Summer Action Wars. 

Anzai is currently competing in AJPW’s Champion Carnival, though he hasn’t got off to the best of starts after falling short against Go Shiozaki in their Block A match. He challenged Miyahara for the title at the end of December, similarly falling short after almost half an hour of action.
