Rey Mysterio On Adam Copeland: 'I Was Shocked, I Thought He Was Going To Re-Sign With WWE'

Rey Mysterio appeared visibly taken aback upon learning of Adam Copeland's decision to join All Elite Wrestling. ## After a career spanning more than 25 years, Edge, now going by the name Adam Copeland, bid farewell to WWE with a triumphant victory over Sheamus in his hometown of Toronto. ## Before taking his hiatus from WWE, Edge had already made plans to make his AEW debut on October 1, 2023, during the WrestleDream pay-per-view event. At this event, he made a notable appearance by coming to the aid of Darby Allin and Sting when they were under attack from Christian Cage, Luchasaurus, and Nick Wayne. ## While Triple H from WWE extended his best wishes to Adam for his future endeavors, one WWE legend seemed genuinely surprised by Edge's departure. That legend is none other than Rey Mysterio, who has had numerous memorable matches with Copeland over the years. ## During an interview on "The MMA Hour," Mysterio shared his thoughts about Copeland's decision to join AEW. ## "I was shocked. We had just spoken a week before that. Not that I expected him to tell me anything. We never had the time to even talk about what was next. I saw him in his last match, ‘we’ll be in touch.’ We call each other every now and then. Next thing you know, I didn’t even see, it was on social media the following day. ‘Did you see?’ ‘No, what happened.’ They showed me (his debut). ‘Wow, I didn’t see that coming.’ I imagine he has his reasons on why and I can’t wait to sit down and chop it up with him. It’s always good to have an option. ## At the end of the day, that was his decision. That’s what made him feel good, take it. I would say that about anyone who would have done it. The fact that we have a great connection doesn’t mean we can dictate what he should want or doesn’t want. Overall, it was shocking because I thought he was going to re-sign with the company or figure out what he wanted to do, whether movies, or stick around for some more time."

Rhea Ripley Surpasses 200 Days As WWE Women’s World Champion

Las Vegas, 18 October - Rhea Ripley recently marked a significant achievement, having been WWE Women's World Champion for over 200 days. ## Her journey in WWE began in 2017 when she debuted in the inaugural Mae Young Classic under the name Rhea Ripley. In 2018, she joined NXT UK, and on the December 18 episode of NXT, she defeated Baszler to become the NXT Women's Champion, making her the first to hold both the NXT Women's and NXT UK Women's Championships. ## Another important moment was when she faced Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 3 and lost her NXT Women's Title to Flair. In 2021, Ripley made her debut on the main roster, challenging Asuka for the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 37. ## Once again, she pleased fans with her impressive victory over Asuka for the Raw Women's Championship. Additionally, Ripley has won the Women's World Championship once, which she currently holds, and she has also claimed the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship once, partnering with Nikki A.S.H. ## Currently, She is a member of The Judgment Day stable. ## Rhea Ripley has surpassed 200-days as @WWE Women’s World Champion. pic.twitter.com/04xPVkoaBp— Wrestle Ops (@WrestleOps) October 18, 2023 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Former WWE Raw Women's Champion Return To TV Very Soon

New York, 18 October - A significant update regarding the imminent return of a top WWE star to television has emerged. ## WWE is currently gearing up to bring their prominent talents back to the small screen, with expectations of their presence at the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia next month and the upcoming Survivor Series in late November, set to take place in Chicago. ## The returning star in question is none other than Bianca Belair, who has been absent from in-ring competition for several months. Her most recent stint as the Raw Women's Champion concluded in a rather amusing fashion at SummerSlam. There, she initially reclaimed the title by defeating Asuka and Charlotte Flair. However, her championship reign was abruptly terminated when Iyo Sky cashed in her Money in the Bank contract, seizing the title from Belair. ## After that event, WWE creatively wrote Belair out of their television programming. The precise reason for her absence remains unknown, but it is widely anticipated that her comeback is on the horizon.## According to PWInsider, it appears that Belair will make her return to WWE during this Friday's episode of SmackDown. This development aligns with the plan for her to participate in a match at the upcoming Crown Jewel event. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Top 3 Rumored Matches For WWE Crown Jewel 2023

Chicago, 18 October - WWE is gearing up for another pay-per-view event as they make their way to Saudi Arabia for the 2023 Crown Jewel on November 4. Two matches have already been officially confirmed for the event. ## In the first match, Seth Rollins is set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre. Additionally, the Women's World Championship will be up for grabs, with the champion Rhea Ripley defending her title against Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Raquel Rodriguez, and Zoey Stark. ## The event will be available for live streaming on Peacock on November 4, with the main card commencing at 1 p.m. Eastern Time. ## #1. United States Championship: Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Logan Paul ## It appears that the match between Rey Mysterio and Logan Paul for the United States Title is set to happen. This match began to take form after Paul emerged victorious in a crossover boxing bout against Dillon Danis. ## Following this fight, Paul issued a challenge to Rey Mysterio. Additionally, it has been confirmed that Paul will be making appearances on both upcoming episodes of Raw and SmackDown. The primary uncertainty now revolves around whether WWE will crown the social media influencer as a champion. ## #2. Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. John Cena ## John Cena has recently mentioned that when the Hollywood writers' strike concludes, he intends to return to his Hollywood career, effectively wrapping up his last full-time stint with WWE. This makes the prospect of a match between Roman Reigns and John Cena at Crown Jewel an appealing option for the 16-time world champion. ## At Fastlane, Cena and LA Knight teamed up to defeat Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso. There are speculations circulating about LA Knight potentially facing Roman Reigns at the event. However, I believe that this might not be the ideal moment to pit Knight against Roman Reigns. ## #3. Singles Match: LA Knight vs. Jimmy Uso ## If WWE isn't going forward with the Knight vs. Reigns matchup for the event, it's likely that Knight will be facing a formidable opponent, and there might be no better choice than Jimmy Uso. ## Given that both Cena and Knight have been engaged in a feud with The Bloodline, this seems like the opportune moment to finalize the arrangement. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Huge Update On Bo Dallas' WWE Return

There has been an update regarding an absent WWE star who may not be returning. ## In WWE, many stars take absences for various reasons, such as injuries, personal leaves, or being under contract but not regularly featured on television, which puts them on the sidelines for extended periods. ## Currently, one WWE superstar, Bo Dallas, who was brought back to the company at last year's Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View as part of an alliance with his brother, Bray Wyatt, might not make his return. The storyline they were involved in was cut short, with its conclusion never realized, primarily due to Wyatt's medical issues. ## Tragically, the storyline came to an abrupt halt when Wyatt passed away in August due to a heart attack. Since then, there have been no plans disclosed regarding Bo Dallas's return. However, there is an update available.## According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dallas is not expected to return. His utilization in WWE was primarily a favor to Bray Wyatt, and the prospects of his return appear to be completely off the table. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Kurt Angle Opens Up About WWE Producer Departure: Anticipated Release And Lack Of Passion

New York, 16 October - Kurt Angle, a former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, concluded his in-ring career at WrestleMania 35 with a loss to Baron Corbin. Following this, Angle transitioned into a backstage role as a producer within WWE. ## During his tenure as a producer, Angle occasionally made sporadic appearances on WWE television. However, his departure from the company occurred shortly thereafter. On April 15, 2020, Angle was released from his WWE contract as part of cost-saving measures due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. ## Despite his release from WWE, Angle has not refrained from making appearances on WWE television. His most recent appearance was on Raw is XXX, which took place on January 23, 2023. During this event, he participated in a segment with D-Generation X, which included Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Road Dogg, and X-Pac. ## In a recent episode of his own podcast, "The Kurt Angle Show," Angle reflected on his role as a WWE producer and discussed how it all came to an end. ## "Yes, [Mark Carano] called me. 'Hey, we're going to let you go.' Actually, I wasn't that into my job. I was a producer. I was killing time. I knew that if they were going to do cuts, I would be the first one let go because they were paying me a lot of money, more money than other producers. I knew that if they were going to do cuts and they were going to let go of someone, I'd be the first. I didn't put much into it, I really didn't. I should have been a lot more passionate about it," said Angle. ## Undoubtedly, Kurt Angle's legacy as a top WWE star during his in-ring career is firmly established. Throughout his tenure with WWE, Angle accomplished an impressive array of championship victories. His championship accolades include the WCW Championship (1 time), WCW United States Championship (1 time), World Heavyweight Championship (1 time), WWF/WWE Championship (4 times), WWE Tag Team Championship (1 time, where he and Chris Benoit were the inaugural champions), WWF European Championship (1 time), WWF Hardcore Championship (1 time), and WWF Intercontinental Championship (1 time). ## Notably, Angle also became the Fifth Grand Slam Champion, earned the title of King of the Ring in 2000, became the 10th Triple Crown Champion, and emerged as the victor of the WWE Tag Team Championship Tournament in 2002, all while teaming up with Chris Benoit. His exceptional career in WWE showcased his unmatched wrestling prowess and contribution to the company's history. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
