WWE Signs Four – The WWE has announced the signings of Ray Rowe, Hanson, Ricochet, and Candice LaRae to deals. They’re all heading to NXT to begin their training; because pros of ten years need to be retaught. Sure. The four of them will help reload NXT, but the issue with NXT still remains; lack of must see talent. Here’s hoping these four can help rectify that issue.
WWE Champ Arrested – WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion, Jey Uso was arrested on Sunday, January 14th. He was picked up for a DUI, and faces a 3 month to 12 month suspension of his license for the Class B misdemeanor. He was bonded out on $500, and is currently set to work tonight’s SmackDown show.
Paige Tweets Out – After the news broke over the weekend that WWE star Paige was forced to retire due to a kick from Sasha Banks on her already messed up neck, the conversation turned to if it was true, how would it be done, etc. Well on RAW last night, Paige was pulled from the Royal Rumble but gave no announcement of her career being over. Paige posted on Instagram a message that seemed to indicate she’d try to work her back again and comeback to being an active performer. This lead to another post where people were leaking news that essentially claimed Paige was in denial about the prognosis. However, things shifted this morning when she tweeted out the following;
2018 WILL be my year. 🙏🏻
