We Rank Five Potential NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff Opponents For Cesaro

Posted: 29 Aug 2019 06:52 AM PDT
https://www.prowrestling.com/we-rank-five-potential-nxt-uk-takeover-cardiff-opponents-for-cesaro/


The Swiss Superman, Cesaro, revealed that he will be heading to Wales this
weekend to check out the NXT UK Takeover event, teasing that he might get
involved in a potential wrestling match.

During the first-ever NXT UK Takeover, Finn Balor made a surprise
appearance to compete against Jordan Devlin to help build some hype to the
brand and now WWE is sending Cesaro to do the same thing.



Unlike last time, WWE has pre-advertised Cesaros appearance, hoping that it
will bring more eyes to the show, especially on a day when NXT UK will be
compared to AEWs ALL OUT later on in the night. With an incredibly loaded
roster all hoping to be involved in the show, WWE has plenty of options for
how they could utilise Cesaro, and within this article, we will pick five
potential opponents he could face.

Conflicting Reports on Enzo Amore & Big Cass Returning to WWE NXT

Posted: 29 Aug 2019 06:12 AM PDT
https://www.prowrestling.com/wwe-reportedly-in-talks-with-enzo-and-cass-about-a-wwe-return/


According to a report by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter,
WWE has contacted Enzo Amore and Big Cass about a possible return to the
company.

The idea is that WWE would like the once-popular tag team to return to the
NXT brand as a big surprise for the shows move to a live, two-hour timeslot
on the USA Network, starting Wednesday October 2. 

Amore was fired by WWE in early 2018 while holding the Cruiserweight
Championship amid allegations of sexual misconduct, and reportedly failing
to inform the company of what he was up against. Cass was released six
months later due to behavioral issues.

Enzo showed up in the front few rows of the 2018 WWE Survivor Series
pay-per-view and was escorted out of the building by security after causing
a scene. He and Cass both turned up in the crowd at G1 Supercard at Madison
Square Garden this April, but that was a planned segment with Ring of Honor
that received a lot of heat, and never panned out into a return to the ring.


UPDATE: For what its worth, Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com is refuting this
story, originally posted by the Observer, claiming there is no basis to the
story and there have been zero discussions between WWE and the former tag
team.

Daniel Bryan Reveals Lucha Libre Stars WWE Should Sign, Praises 205 Live
Talent

Posted: 29 Aug 2019 05:58 AM PDT
https://www.prowrestling.com/daniel-bryan-reveals-which-mexican-talents-wwe-should-sign/


Daniel Bryan recently spoke with William Beltran of SuperLuchas where he
revealed which Mexican talents WWE should sign if they can. Below are some
highlights, translated by WrestlingInc.com.

On who WWE should sign:

It is really difficult to choose, Bryan explained, which was translated
through Google Translate. My favorites are now too old to go to WWE. I
could say, I want Negro Casas in WWE or Blue Panther. I love Negro Casas.
The first time I saw a match of his was around 1987, but he is amazing. In
2019 he is still impressive.




I have a lot of respect for them, but thinking about who could do it now in
WWE, someone like Rush could. I think Bandito would do well; Dragon Lee
could also succeed.

Praise for Gran Metalik:

And I hate to say it, but even if I say, Oh, we need to bring this guy to
WWE, it could be argued that we already have several that are spectacular,
like Gran Metalik, which is one reason I watch 205 Live. Gran Metalik is
fantastic!

Matt Hardy Believes He Has More To Offer Wrestling, Talks NXT/AEW War, More

Posted: 29 Aug 2019 04:55 AM PDT
https://www.prowrestling.com/matt-hardy-believes-he-has-more-to-offer-wrestling-talks-nxt-aew-war-more/


WWE veteran, Matt Hardy, hosted a Q&A on Twitter this week where he claimed
that he has a lot more to offer the wrestling industry before he retires.

Hardy has been mainly kept on the sidelines since Jeff Hardy was injured,
with Matt mainly being used in 24/7 Championship segments, however, he does
believe he has more to offer the business.

I don’t have to have/need a WWE World Title reign to feel complete. I just
want real opportunities to contribute & entertain for the remainder of time
I have left. I honestly feel I have a lot left to give & offer a promotion
on the global stage as an in ring talent. https://t.co/tgh1zxRKSO

- The VESSEL of Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) August 29, 2019



Hardy was also asked whether or not there will be more House Hardy episodes
on the WWE Network, with Matt admitting that he hopes a new one will be
filmed soon, although he would like to do five or six a year.

Hopefully soon. In a perfect world, I’d like to produce 4-6 #HouseHardy
episodes a year on the WWE network. https://t.co/4mBAq7daya

- The VESSEL of Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) August 29, 2019



Hardy was also asked about his thoughts on the upcoming NXT/AEW Wednesday
night wars, with Matt claiming it is good for the industry, the performers,
and the fans.

I think it’s good for the industry, the performers & the fans. Competition
forces everyone to be more creative & work harder. https://t.co/Iiwe2bgsR5

- The VESSEL of Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) August 29, 2019



Matt Hardy also revealed that there was a deal on the table from New Japan
Pro Wrestling for him before he re-signed with WWE back in 2017.

Every option was on the table before we re-signed with WWE in 2017.

Jon Moxley Pulled from Starrcast III Panel & Appearances

Posted: 29 Aug 2019 04:36 AM PDT
https://www.prowrestling.com/jon-moxley-pulled-from-starrcast-lll-new-schedule-to-be-released/


It is further bad news for Jon Moxley today as it has been announced that
the AEW athlete will not be able to appear at Starrcast lll this weekend.

The former WWE Superstar had been pulled from Saturdays ALL OUT event due
to an MRSA staph infection, which has led to PAC taking his place in the
marquee match against Kenny Omega at the pay-per-view. However, it was
unknown whether or not he would be able to travel to Chicago for the
Starrcast ll convention.

Unfortunately today, Conrad Thompson has revealed that Moxley is not able
to travel and therefore his appearances have been pulled from the
convention. His planned meet and greet has been cancelled with refunds
being processed for people, as well as his show being pulled from the
event, with Thompson promising a new schedule tomorrow.

We received word today that unfortunately @JonMoxley won’t be able to
travel to @StarrcastEvents. Once he got the word from his doctor he told
us, “I’m sorry, this sucks.” I’m sure we all echo those sentiments. We wish
him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him soon.

— Conrad the Mortgage Guy (@HeyHeyItsConrad) August 29, 2019



Everyone who purchased his meet and greet has been notified via email.
Refunds will begin being processed tomorrow. His stage show has been
cancelled and a new schedule will be released tomorrow.
