2019-04-24 19:48:42 +0000 UTC View PostThose on the Smackdown brand we've spoken to still don't have an update on Daniel Bryan. He's not appeared on WWE programming, or traveled with WWE since his WrestleMania 35 loss to Kofi Kingston. Usually in the case of a rough injury, word gets around pretty fast. In this instance, there hasn't been much, if any, chatter coming our way about his status one way or another.
Fightful Select learned a couple of hours before WWE Smackdown that Daniel Bryan had not been seen back...

2019-04-22 19:03:47 +0000 UTC View PostJazz unexpectedly vacated the NWA Women's World Championship, and details are few and far between. I reached out to both Jazz and the NWA for comment today, and was told she'd be making a statement this evening.
2019-04-22 17:31:31 +0000 UTC View Post- Ben Henderson tells us that he thinks Daniel Bryan was a blue or a purple belt before leaving his gym, and he thinks Bryan could in fact take out Mike Jackson in a jiu jitsu match, but not an MMA fight.
- Darren Young made it clear to me that even though he's openly spoken about being willing to work for ROH and NJPW, nobody has reached out to him in that regard.

CM Punk is again the talk of the wrestling town.
Punk made a masked appearance at an MKE wrestling event on Friday, and shortly after, Fightful Select reported it wasn't his first. Now we have some more details on that.
Punk appeared at a Freelance Wrestling show on December 4, 2015, titled "Raw Power." He would manage Kikutaro in a match against Daron Corbin and Dick Justice. Punk was clad in a cloak and tossed out salt ahead of the match. The commentators referred to him a...

A dark match from May 2000!
2019-04-21 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostIn case you missed it, a figure that resembled CM Punk appeared under a mask at a Silas Young indie event this weekend. After we tweeted about it, a trusted source contacted us and said that this actually isn't the first time it's happened. Apparently Punk appeared under a hood at some point before his falling out with Colt Cabana, which would have been during the Wrestling Road Diaries 3 filming. We're told that it was dropped from the final cut after Punk and Cabana's issues developed. ...

2019-04-21 02:58:59 +0000 UTC View PostFightful has learned that the week after ROH G1 Supercard, that two more office employees at ROH gave their notice. We don't have identification, but one worked in social media, and let it be known that they'd be finishing up that week if at all possible. They were willing to stay on longer if the company was in a bind, but noted that they preferred to finish up by Friday, April 12.

2019-04-19 16:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostMultiple sources on the AEW side of things have rather colorfully denied rumors that their upcoming television deal would be a time buy. One went as far as to say they had never heard the option presented before Thursday's

Note: This story is opinion. It will go up shortly on Fightful.
AEW is a polarizing topic before they've even held their first show, and that's to be expected. It's also expected that they'll land on TNT, if recent rumors prove true.
TNT -- the brand that was integral in the famed Monday Night Wars, home of WCW Nitro, is expected to announce All Elite Wrestling for their fall lineup at their Upfronts in May, just ahead of AEW's debut show Double or Noth...

UPDATE: We're told that one of the Departure's is former VICE writer Dave Schilling who had only joined the team a matter of weeks ago. He's since tweeted that he's looking for work

Fightful Select has learned that Rousey's surgery is set for Tuesday. WWE officials are hopeful that she'll return late this year or early next year, though she's given no firm indication of her plans.
