WWE News Today 5/10/17 – Braun Strowman Injury, Batista Return, R-Truth Hosts Game Show

WWE News and Rumors for May 10, 2017

  • New Details on Braun Strowman’s elbow surgery suggest he will miss the next two Raw PPVs. Strowman had been penciled in to face Roman Reigns in June at Extreme Rules and then Brock Lesnar in July at the Inaugural Great Balls of Fire PPV. Originally the timetable for return was 2 months, but now there is less clarity on a return date.
  • On Talk is Jericho, Batista revealed that he has contacted WWE several times about returning to face Triple H. He is only interested in this match, however WWE.com conducted a poll on who Batista’s opponent should be upon a potential return. Brock Lesnar is leading by a wide margin, with Triple H being the runner up.
  • After Smackdown and 205 Live, there was a dark match in the arena with Shinsuke Nakamura defeating Dolph Ziggler with the Kinshasha.
  • Jim Ross will be calling matches on episodes of the WWE UK Show on the WWE Network. He will be partnered with Nigel McGuinness
  • Jerry Lawler is offering franchise opportunities for his BBQ restaurant. Lawler has been in the restaurant business before, however the latest venture just opened up recently. This comes after the WWE ceased using Jerry as a full time commentator.
  • Emma has left the WWE European Tour with a shoulder injury of which the severity is at this time unknown. After a shaky return recently, Emma is finally gaining steam but this injury could sidetrack this momentum.
  • Due to an arm injury, Ember Moon is unable to challenge Asuka for the NXT Championship as planned for NXT Takeover: Chicago. Asuka will now defend in a Triple Threat Match against Nikki Cross and Ruby Riot.
  • Cody Rhodes will reprise his role on the next episode of Arrow. Cody, as Stardust, had a SummerSlam match and ongoing feud with the Stephen Amell when still under contract with WWE.
  • The WWE Network secretly filmed what will be the Network’s first game show, hosted by R-Truth. It is set to debut later this year.

Off the Top Rope of Billy Reil’s Mind – Musings on Wrestlemania Week 2017

Some of us get lost in the moment and forget just how influential this website has become. With that being said, I, Billy Reil, have been dealing with some health issues; I may have more powers than initially thought. Besides being “BulletPoof” it appears that I have successfully defeated the Cellulitus and for now the complications of diabetesroste with the help of my team of doctors. From this day to beyond, I will be contributing to my brainchild, Betwrestling.com as we zoom past Wrestlemania season and head towards ‘Payback’. ‘Payback’ is looking to be a great show as Raw and Smackdown bolstered their rosters recently with the return of Kurt Angle, The Brothers Hardy, The Revival and main event superstar Finn Balor.

As covered by Betwrestling throughout Wrestlemania weekend, There was a slew of Pro-Wrestling Cards throughout the Orlando/Kissimmee area as fans were treated to see the best performers in the entire world giving their all in hopes to have the right pair of eyes looking at them in the squared circle. We would love to read about your experiences, what matches were your favorite, and what you think about not only about the WWE , but Bet Wrestling as well. Do you like our format ? What would you like more of ? These are questions that we hope will enhance not only our page but your experience.

Raw started out with one of the most impressive promos of all time and I mean that wholeheartedly. The style of this promo by Roman Reigns reaked of Paul Heyman; which is not a bad thing. Mr Heyman has always had his pulse on the trigger of what fans want and I was really impressed that WWE creative had the foresight to guess that the fans would be this rabid in regards to how they treated Roman Reigns. While Chris Jericho did something similar a few years back, this was done better. Roman’s facials told the story, so the 5 words that were said certainly did the job intended. In this day and age Heel turns are done so often that most of them lose their luster. Roman did not turn heel, in fact he’s been heel, but its been done in such a smart way that the fans have no clue and can’t comprehend or wrap their heads around it.

Jim Ross’s new contract has him scheduled to work 30-40 shows this year, it is the first time in the history of the wrestling business that someone has worked for 2 major companies at the same time. The chess match between WWE and New Japan Pro Wrestling is heating up folks, and we could see some major moves in the coming months. To me this is 1984 all over again, as WWE is trying to eliminate all competition. The ITV deal in Europe will be a major factor in how WWE conducts their overseas business. ITV reaches many more homes than the WWE Network, so the prospect of international growth for the WWE is at a fever pitch.
