WWE star AJ Styles has revealed the one wrestling move, which was the trademark of a WWE Hall of Famer, that he will always refuse to take. Speaking with “SHAK Wrestling,” Styles was asked what he thought of Rikishi’s “Stink Face” to which Styles replied that he would never want to be on the receiving end of the move.

“I will never take it, I would find a way to get out of it, I don’t think that I would ever, but I would hope that I never have to take that. I don’t mind taking the running butt in the corner by one of the Samoans but I don’t know about the Stink Face.” Rikishi himself has mentioned on “Insight” that there were plenty of wrestlers in the past who weren’t thrilled about taking the “Stink Face”, but admitted wrestlers like Booker T, The Rock, and Kurt Angle always took it like a champ and never complained.

After it was explained to Styles that Rikishi would use difference types of shorts depending on his mood on any given day, with opponents having no idea if the shorts hadn’t been washed in weeks or even months, Styles went on to say that he’s not surprised Rikishi would do something like that. After losing to Cody Rhodes at Backlash in Lyon, France, it is uncertain whether or not Styles will get another chance at the Undisputed WWE Championship anytime soon, but he now follows a different route and enters the King of the Ring tournament that kicked off on the first “WWE Raw” following Backlash.

Backstage News on Recent NXT Call-Ups Not Being Used on RAW This Week

Posted by admin on May 7th, 2024

Backstage News on Recent NXT Call-Ups Not Being Used on RAW This Week – May 6 episode of WWE RAW delved into the aftermath of the Backlash France Premium Live Event from Saturday, while also commencing the buildup for the upcoming King & Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event later this month in Saudi Arabia. The show featured several first-round matches for the tournament, setting the stage for intense competition.

This RAW also marked the first since the WWE Draft, where recent NXT call-ups were expected to make their presence felt. However, not all of them were utilized as anticipated.

Ilja Dragunov, Lyra Valkyria, Blair Davenport, Kiana James, Carmelo Hayes, Baron Corbin, and Dijak transitioned from NXT to the main roster across Raw and SmackDown as part of the Draft. Additionally, another star is reportedly poised for a call-up soon.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, “several other NXT call-ups and draftees were brought to RAW and not used,” likely due to time constraints. This episode was reportedly one of the most heavily promoted in RAW’s history.

Dragunov and Valkyria did compete in matches on Raw as part of the ongoing tournaments, advancing to the next round. However, it was mentioned in the report that other tournament matches had to be postponed to next week due to time constraints leading up to the Premium Live Event.

Ric Flair Restaurant Footage Surfaces, AEW Star Says Piesanos Staff Disrespected Him

Posted by admin on May 7th, 2024

On Monday, news emerged regarding an incident involving Ric Flair at a Piesanos Stone Oven Pizza restaurant in Gainesville, Florida, where Flair claimed he was asked to leave after a dispute with a kitchen manager over using a restroom. Flair’s claims prompted the manager of a sister Piesanos to claim Flair was “drunk and disorderly,” as well as swinging furniture around, while the Gainesville Piesanos co-owner claimed the video evidence proved his staff acted accordingly, refusing to elaborate further or to make the video available.

Despite that, video of the incident has now been made available after being posted to TikTok yesterday afternoon. In the video, Flair can be seen chastising members of the Piesanos staff, claiming to have not done anything wrong, and saying his treatment would be bad for Piesanos and that they should “watch social media tomorrow.” After further insulting one staff member, Flair brought up the bathroom incident, with the staff member saying Flair accosted the kitchen manager and “cussed” at him, which Flair denied.

Flair could later be seen offering an $1,000 tip to another Piesanos staff member to tell the employee he was arguing with to “kiss his ass.” The AEW star would even go as far to challenge the employee to go outside and fight him and accused them of kicking him out of the restaurant, which was denied, as the staff member claimed Flair was only being “cut off” from more alcohol. Towards the end of the video, Flair would be thrown out aft insulting the employee further, and had words with another patron, who offered to take Flair’s offer to “talk outside.”

Eric Bischoff Comments On Social Media Feud With Dax Harwood Over AEW Criticism

Posted by admin on May 7th, 2024

Bischoff then pointed out that Harwood is suggesting he’s a stalker, however, he noted Harwood would have to study his timeline and in turn “stalk” him to be able to say that. “Just let it go. So, I mean, and the hypocritical part of it — it’s probably more encompassing, I guess there’s not a lot of hypocrisy in this, it’s more like stupidity. Stupidity and just f***ing weird.”

Bischoff then suggested Harwood stop following him and instead learn how to get over and let the audience take care of itself. “Don’t try to get yourself over on social media, ’cause you suck at it, get yourself over in the ring because you’re actually pretty good at that,” he said. However, Bischoff noted there is still room for improvement, especially in his promos, but that Harwood reminds him of the Four Horsemen. “I like your style, I like that kind of Arn Anderson-Tully Blanchard kind of style, it’s a little bit of a throwback.”

Bischoff then took another major shot at not just Harwood, but Cash Wheeler as well, and explained how they didn’t make it in WWE despite having the opportunity to get over. “And now they’re in AEW and yes, they’re swimming in a much, much, much, much smaller pond so in their minds, perhaps they feel like a bigger fish.”
