WWE fan wins $1 million after beating AJ Styles in a WWE 2K19 video game match

By
Colin Vassallo
-

AJ Styles might be the Phenomenal One and the cover Superstar for WWE 2K19 but the former WWE champion has just cost 2K a cool $1 million as he lost his Million Dollar Challenge final during the NXT Takeover: New York pre-show.

WWE fan Stephan T. Benson from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania advanced to the final match after he managed to outlast three other fans – Gregory Davis from Jacksonville, Florida, David Hoey from Sydney, Australia, and Roman Droßard from Pfalzfeld, Germany – during Axxess.

Benson, wearing all gold including shoes, was booed by fans inside the Barclays Center but that did not stop him from beating Styles for the $1 million playing WWE 2K19. Benson played with Brock Lesnar and pretty much dominated Styles and finished him in a few minutes. The game had a 10-minute limit.

Corey Graves and Xavier Woods hosted the final.

Kushida officially joins WWE

By
Colin Vassallo
-

WWE has announced the signing of Kushida, one of the most popular Japanese wrestlers.

The 35-year-old from Tokyo spent nine years wrestling for New Japan Pro Wrestling, wrestling his final match for the promotion on January 29 at the Road to the New Beginning. He won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title six times, the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team titles twice, and the Super J-Cup during his stint there.

Prior to NJPW he also wrestled for AJPW and competed in Canada, Mexico, and United States.

Kushida will start with the NXT brand immediately and might even be presented to the world at NXT Takeover: New York tonight.

Full betting odds for NXT Takeover: New York

By
Colin Vassallo

NXT returns to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn tonight for NXT Takeover: New York with five matches and five titles on the line.

Today we will take a look at some very accurated Whalebets betting odds for these matches. Please be careful when betting with real money and keep in mind that these odds might change by the time the show starts.

Adam Cole remains the favorite to win the vacant NXT title with odds of 4/7 versus the 5/4 odds of Johnny Gargano. A permanent call-up to the main roster for Gargano might be in the works here so having Cole win would make the most sense. If Cole wins, he will become the only person to hold the NXT, North American, and Tag Team titles.

Bianca Belair was the favorite yesterday to win the NXT Women’s title in the fatal 4-way match and remains the favorite today with her odds of 6/5. Shayna Baszler, the current champion is at 2/1 to retain the gold, while Io Shirai and Kairi Sane are 3/1 and 9/1 respectively in the odds.

The situation with Ricochet and Aleister Black is somewhat similar to that of Johnny Gargano, and with the two appearing every week on the main roster, the War Raiders are 2/7 favorites to keep the NXT Tag Team titles while Black and Ricochet are 5/2 to win. Black and Ricochet have the chance to win the Smackdown Tag Team titles this Sunday at WrestleMania. Johnny Gargano odds are usually being offered by https://www.goal55.id, aside from other sport statistics.

The North American title match between Velveteen Dream and Matt Riddle is up in the air when it comes to a favorite. Both popular Superstars are listed at 5/6 to win so even bookmakers are torn about this match. Keep checking the sportsbook list to find out whats hot and whats not currently.

The final match on the card is Pete Dunne vs Walter for the WWE United Kingdom title. Dunne has been the titleholder since May 20, 2017, and it looks like it will come to an end today as the Austrian Walter is 1/7 to win the match while Dunne is at a distant 4/1.

Weather forecast for WrestleMania 35

By
Colin Vassallo
-

Having a WrestleMania in an outdoor location is always a gamble. Having a WrestleMania in an outdoor location in New Jersey is an even bigger gamble! So far, WWE were lucky that mother nature always cooperated when the biggest show of them all was held outside, apart from a few rain drops here and there.

According to weather forecasts, the weather will hold up on Sunday but there’s a slight chance of rain late in the evening. And if that is the case, considering WrestleMania will run past 11PM, then somebody’s gonna get wet!

During the day it will be partly cloudy with the sun shining and the temperature will be of 65°F/18°C with a real feel of 68°F/20°C. As day turns into night, temperature will drop to 51°F/11°C with a real feel of 44°F/7°C.

It won’t snow and it won’t be freezing, but folks not from the area might feel colder so we suggest you pack a jacket and some comfy clothes just in case things get messier later in the evening.

The Superstars will be cozy enough thanks to the ring and ring posts blowing hot air although there will not be any running down the ramp if it’s raining!

WWE launching studio show on FOX Sports 1 this Fall

By
Colin Vassallo
-

Triple H appeared on Fox Sports 1’s First Things First this morning to promote WrestleMania 35 and to announce that WWE will have its own studio show this fall on Tuesday nights once Smackdown moves to FOX.

“I think this is the perfect opportunity for the studio show. For us, because of the sports entertainment aspect of it, it’s an analyst show where you’re talking about the athletic component of it, it’s also an entertainment…where you talk where things are going and the storylines and the characters and all of it,” Triple H said. “Uhm, this is going to be one of those shows that if you are a WWE fan across the board, this is the show that will be ‘can’t miss’ because it’s going to talk about everything you love in a way that you can’t get any place now.”

The studio show was highly rumored to be taking place on Fox Sports 1 and there’s even rumors that NXT might be moving to FS1 later in the year as well. This is also good news when it comes to revenue as FOX will be paying more to have additional WWE programming across its network.

You can see a clip of Triple H on First Things First below.

Start your WWE Network subscription today to get all WrestleMania weekend shows FREE!

WWE Network

For the past few years, WWE has opted to give out WrestleMania for free for first-time subscribers to the WWE Network.

It’s an exercise that might not sound too smart for those on the outside, but the plan was always to have those who get it free stick around for at least another month or so. The month of April is also the month with the highest number of WWE Network subscribers due to WrestleMania weekend and last year, the show was watched by over 2 million subscribers, which was a record for WWE at the time.

This year is no different and the WWE Network is free for those who sign up the first time…or with a different e-mail address! Subscribing today and activating your 30-day free trial gets you NXT Takeover: New York tonight, the Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday, and WrestleMania on Sunday. Not to mention the over 11,000 hours of WWE programming that is available in the catalogue.

And with the rumored May 3 live event in Saudi Arabia, starting your subscription today also gets you that one for free as well! Not a bad deal, isn’t it?

This year, WWE will not be revealing the WWE Network subscribers number the day after WrestleMania as has been the case since 2014.

If you want to take the deal and watch all the WrestleMania weekend shows for free, simply go to http://w-o.it/wwentwrk to active your free month.

Leaked images show MetLife Stadium being transformed for WrestleMania

By
Colin Vassallo
-

Leaked images from inside the MetLife Stadium shows the progress of the stage and canopy that will be part of the WrestleMania 35 set design.

The stage so far has only a semi-circular massive LED video wall that goes from side to side and unlike the WrestleMania 29 stage setup, there doesn’t seem to be any buildings part of the stage, at least not yet. For WrestleMania 29, WWE incorporated the New York skyline as well as a giant Brooklyn Bridge. But so far, it’s only a video wall that is visible.

The ring will be covered by a large circular canopy that has a 360 degree video wall at the very top. Those who will be in the bleachers will have obstructed views due to the size of the canopy and you’re also somewhat screwed if you’re sitting in the corners since there are four huge steel pillars holding the canopy up. A white canvas with the WrestleMania logo covers the canopy at the top. For WrestleMania 29, WWE set up a replica of the Statue of Liberty on top of the canopy but that doesn’t seem to be the case this year.

In previous years, the stage has been revealed on Friday night but if these pictures are from yesterday, construction seems to be a bit behind for a reveal tonight. Hundreds of local workers along with specialists from WWE are in charge of transforming MetLife Stadium to be WrestleMania-ready.

You can see the photos below.

GoFundMe campaign set up for Kamala due to possible eviction from home

By
Colin Vassallo
-

Brian Blair, one half of the former WWE tag team the Killer Bees, has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to help his dear friend and fellow former wrestler James “Kamala” Harris.

Harris, who is a double amputee and on dialyses, is at risk of losing his home due to unpaid taxes and has until April 15 to come up with at least $12,750 or Tate County in Mississippi will take his home.

The 68-year-old had a lot of health issues over the past several years and two years ago he had life-saving emergency surgery and was put on life support. Kamala had a couple of stints in WWE during his wrestling days but retired in 2010.

The GoFundMe campaign can be accessed at https://www.gofundme.com/quotkamala039

Zack Ryder and Chelsea Green get engaged

By
Colin Vassallo
-

It’s certainly a good week for Zack Ryder as apart from himself and his tag team partner Curt Hawkins getting a Raw Tag Team title shot at WrestleMania, the former Intercontinental champion also got engaged!

Ryder has been dating NXT’s Chelsea Green for the past two years and yesterday he popped the question to his now-fiancee in New York. “She said ooh yeah,” he wrote in a tweet, which was accompanied by a video of Green drinking from a bottle celebrating. “Babe what just happened?” Ryder asks. “I’m engaged, baby,” she responds, as Ryder jokingly continues, “Oh no! Who did that? Who did that?”

It was an extra special day for Green as yesterday she celebrated her 28th birthday as well.

Congratulations to the duo!

WWE talent scouts will be scouring the many shows which will be in the area during this weekend for potential developmental deals at the WWE Performance Center.

All three were in the upper level of the hall and did not try to stay hidden. In fact, after Frank Mir defeated Dan Savern and somewhat challenged Universal champion Brock Lesnar, the fans were chanting for William Regal to sign Mir.

One final title match added to WrestleMania 35

By
Colin Vassallo
-

One final match has been added to the already massive WrestleMania card as the Raw Tag Team champions The Revival will be defending their titles against Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder.

The match came about after Hawkins and Ryder went up to the champions after they won their match on Raw against Black and Ricochet and asked for a match at WrestleMania. Both Hawkins and Ryder are from New York and that was played in the angle as well since WrestleMania is from neighboring New Jersey.

Zack Ryder has a memorable win at WrestleMania, winning the Intercontinental title in a ladder match at WrestleMania 32. His title reign only lasted 24 hours, losing it the next day to The Miz but it was always Ryder’s dream to hear his theme song play at WrestleMania…and he got more than that!

Hawkins, on the other hand, is on a massive losing streak so the odds of him helping Ryder win the Raw Tag Team titles are small! This will be Hawkins’ first match at a WrestleMania.

With the Raw Tag Team titles also on the line, all nine titles on the main roster will be defended on the show.

Early look at the betting odds of the top two matches at NXT Takeover: New York

By
Colin Vassallo
-

NXT is ready to rock the Barclays Center again tomorrow with Takeover: New York. On paper, this is one of the strongest cards of a Takeover event and combined with the international crowd, it’s surely set to be a memorable show.

Today we take a look at the odds of the top two title matches, the NXT and NXT Women’s championships.

The main event will have Johnny Gargano taking on Adam Cole of The Undisputed Era for the vacant NXT title. As things stand today, Adam Cole is the favorite to walk out of Brooklyn with the title, with his odds at 8/15 while Gargano is at 11/8.

Meanwhile over at the women’s match, the fatal 4-way match for the NXT Women’s title sees Bianca Belair as the favorite to win her first title. She is 11/10 to win the match, followed by Io Shirai and the reigning champion Shayna Baszler at 3/1 and then Kairi Sane at 7/1 to regain the title.

Tomorrow we will take a look at the full card of the show and their odds as the event gets closer to bell time.

Triple H with the worst loss record in WrestleMania history

By
W-O Staff
-

Triple H will enter his 23rd WrestleMania in just a few days, currently sitting in second place in the most appearances by a wrestler at WrestleMania.

Sitting in number one is none other than The Undertaker with 26 WrestleManias under his belt and an impressive record of 24-2. But Triple H’s record at the granddaddy of them all is actually bad. Really bad.

In fact, Triple H has the most losses at a WrestleMania among any other Superstar who wrestled on the show. Out of 22 matches so far, Triple H has a record of 9-13. Yes, 13 losses. For a guy who is usually accused of putting himself over for most of his career, 13 losses at WrestleMania would indicate otherwise.

At WrestleMania, Triple H has lost to the Ultimate Warrior (12), Kane (15), Undertaker (17, 27, and 28), Chris Benoit and Shawn Michaels (20), Batista (21), John Cena (22), Randy Orton and John Cena (24), Daniel Bryan (30), Roman Reigns (32), Seth Rollins (33), and last year against Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey when he teamed with his wife Stephanie McMahon (34).

His nine wins came against Goldust (13), Owen Hart (14), Mick Foley, The Big Show, and The Rock (16), Chris Jericho (18), Booker T (19), Randy Orton (25), Sheamus (26), Brock Lesnar (29), and Sting (31).

It’s been a couple of years now since Triple H, who usually has one of the best entrances of the show, has won at WrestleMania and the last win was in 2015 against WWE Hall of Famer Sting. His longest spell without a win at WrestleMania was five years in between WrestleManias 19 and 25 and he lost all three matches in the last three years.

This year, Triple H takes on his former Evolution tag team partner Batista in a rematch from WrestleMania 21. Batista is the fourth individual to have a second match against HHH on the big show, with Cena and Orton both wrestling him twice as well, while in the case of the Undertaker, three times.
