All Elite Wrestling’s second event, titled Fight for the Fallen, will be taking place on Saturday, July 13 at the Daily’s Place Amphitheatre in Jacksonville, Florida.
The location is connected to the south end of TIAA Bank field and shares space with a “flex field” indoor practice facility for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The facility opened in May 2017 at a cost of $44.8 million and seats 5,500 fans.
This will be AEW’s way of giving back to the community as proceeds from the show will benefit those who were affected by gun violence in the past.
It’s not known if this will be a pay-per-view or a televised event at this point.
Former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2019. The news was announced today by espnW.
Now 43, the model and fitness competitor from Boise, Idaho, rose to fame after she joined WCW in 1999 where she spent a year before she was released in December 2000. But in 2001 after WWE bought out WCW, Wilson joined The Alliance and remained on WWE television till her retirement in 2008.
Despite never winning the Divas title, Wilson was an integral part of the women’s division back then and was one of the most popular figures throughout her WWE stay. After leaving WWE she made sporadic appearances and last appeared on WWE television at the Evolution pay-per-view where she was part of the battle royal. She was also part of the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble last year.
Wilson told espnW that her induction feels like “a sweet closure” since she never won a title. “But being inducted into the Hall of Fame feels like a championship belt to me, because it really makes me feel appreciated,” Wilson said.
Torrie joins D-Generation X and Honky Tonk Man so far in the class of 2019.
Total Bellas returns with episode seven of season four titled When A Good Girl’s Gone Bad.
The synopsis for tonight’s episode reads, “Nicole reaches an all-time high in her career when she’s asked to be the Main Event at the first-ever women’s pay-per-view, Evolution. Brie is shocked to find out that she will be by Nicole’s side as just her valet, which makes her wonder if the world is telling her to hang up her boots once and for all. Meanwhile, Bryan struggles to balance his life on the road as a WWE Superstar with his passion in setting an eco-friendly example for their daughter, and is ready to make some tough decisions.”
Mustafa Ali made his in-ring return at a non-televised live event in Minneapolis, Minnesota yesterday.
The 32-year-old has been out of action since early February and missed his chance to be part of the Elimination Chamber match due to a concussion. Ali was one of the six Superstars scheduled to be part of that match but was pulled due to his injury and replaced by Kofi Kingston, who took the proverbial ball and ran with it the best he could.
Ali wrestled Daniel Bryan at the Minneapolis live event and came up short after Bryan won after he hit the running knee for the pinfall.

WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling legend Harley Race has been diagnosed with lung cancer.
Ric Flair, appearing on a podcast, said that the cancer was terminal however upon further clarification from David Marquez of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, the cancer is not terminal and he’s being treated by doctors. There are many rights cancer patients have after being exposed to asbestos. Once you receive a doctor’s diagnose of cancer, it can shake your world up and cause an array of feelings. You will find yourself having to worry about medical bills, your personal progression and even legal help. Because diseases linked specifically to asbestos are known to be preventable, exposure in some cases can be proven to be negligence on the part of manufacturers and companies. You have the right to get compensation for negligence for yourself and your family. Seek legal help from https://www.855mikewins.com/ in your state to help you when you need it most. When the term medical malpractice is used, doctors making surgical mistakes or accidentally physically hurting their patients is usually what comes to mind. The large number of outspoken individuals who do not trust doctors fear that a physician will harm them and that they cannot be trusted. But the majority of medical malpractice cases have nothing to do with a doctor physically harming a patient or even prescribing a drug that harms them. Instead, most cases involve misdiagnoses, diagnostic error or delayed diagnosis.You can Going Here if you want to learn more about legal claim.
The Types of Diagnostic Errors
There are a number of ways in which a doctor may fail to treat you correctly as a patient. They are responsible for much more than just treating you, they are also legally responsible for catching certain illnesses and diagnosing them correctly. The types of diagnostic errors a physician can be sued for include:
o Failure to diagnose-a doctor is responsible in many cases for catching early signs of certain cancers, diseases or disorders. If a doctor, for example, treats a patient for a throat issue and fails to pick up on the obvious warning signs for throat cancer and have the patient screened for cancer, he or she can be held legally liable for the further injury or death that may result.
o Delayed diagnosis-a diagnosis for deadly diseases and conditions must be made promptly when the physical signs are present. If a doctor has a patient who complains of dizziness, coordination or visual hallucinations who he or she fails to screen for brain cancer until the cancer has developed to a debilitating point, the doctor can be sued.
o Misdiagnosis-it is also the responsibility of a doctor to make the correct diagnosis. It is common for doctors to make the wrong diagnosis in difficult cases, but the doctor should continue to take all possible routes towards finding the correct diagnosis. If a doctor did not bother to send the patient through the proper testing to ensure that his or her diagnosis was appropriate, this inaction can be seen as gross negligence.
Can I ask you something? When you hear asbestos law suits, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it money?
I guess you are not alone with that. Because the fact of the matter is, all of us came across with articles or reports in the media about personal injury cases, where asbestos victims received large dollar amounts in compensation settlements. And doubtlessly, in some instances, the received awards appeared to be disproportionally high. But are they really that high, considering what a mesothelioma victim has to deal with? We can’t forget that there is always another side to the story.
Nobody can deny that if you are facing the burden of dealing with a severe and maybe even fatal health condition, you have to find a way to catch up with the enormous medical expenses. And believe me; I am not saying that lightly, in fact I just know too well what I’m talking about. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and I received my Renal Cell Carcinoma (cancer of the kidney) diagnosis only seven months later. And even if you are among the fortunate ones who are actually covered under a good insurance plan, a health condition like cancer leaves you with a huge bill for medical costs either way. But the costs for treatments for cancers caused by asbestos exposure are even higher. On top of that, all currently available treatment protocols can only help the patient maintaining his quality of life to a limited extend, however, don’t provide a cure.
“I’ve just spoke to Harley Race’s family and yes he has been diagnosed with lung cancer but it’s not terminal. He’s being treated and supervised by his doctors. He is still very active in @worldleaguewlw and appreciates everyone’s concerns,” Marquez wrote.
Considered to be one of the toughest guys in the history of the business, the 75-year-old Race had an active career that spanned three decades wrestling with the AWA, NWA, WWF, and WCW. He now runs the World League Wrestling, an indie promotion in Missouri and also active in the Harley Race Wrestling Academy.
The Tampa Bay Times and the Tampa Bay Business Journal are both speculating that WrestleMania 36 in 2020 will be coming to town.
The Tampa Bay Sports Commission declined to give comment on the rumors and WWE said that they have nothing to announce for WrestleMania at this time.
The Commission submitted three different bids to host WrestleMania in Tampa in 2023, 2024, or 2025 and there were rumors that Minneapolis was the favorite for next year’s WrestleMania but nothing came out of that yet.
This would be the fourth WrestleMania in the state of Florida after Orlando and Miami hosted the previous three in 2008, 2012, and 2017. If Tampa gets WrestleMania, the show would be held at the Raymond James Stadium, which is also the future home of the XFL Tampa team. The Raymond James Stadium is scheduled to host Super Bowl LV in 2021.
Built in 1998, the “Ray Jay” is the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL and seats just over 65,000 fans and can be expanded to 75,000 for special events. It has already hosted Super Bowls XXXV and XLIII, as well as the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship.
The advertised match by the Quicken Loans Arena for Fastlane featuring Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins taking on Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and Baron Corbin in a handicap match might be changed with the addition of Dean Ambrose.
Another attempt at reuniting The Shield is being made and with Dean Ambrose leaving WWE in April, this will be the last opportunity to get the gang back together for a short run leading up to WrestleMania 35. Ambrose turned heel just four months ago after he attacked Seth Rollins on the night that Roman Reigns announced he had leukemia. But a lackluster feud between Rollins and Ambrose went nowhere and after WWE announced that Ambrose is leaving, his character has been pretty much in limbo.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer also adds that a 3-on-2 handicap match might be turned in a 4-on-3 handicap match at Fastlane with Elias being added to the heels team. Nothing has been confirmed as of now apart from the addition of Ambrose to the mix.
The WWE Network guide is showing a brand new episode of WWE Chronicle set to air on Monday after Raw featuring the recent return of Roman Reigns.
This Chronicle episode will take a behind-the-scenes look at Roman Reigns’ battle with leukemia and his triumphant return to Monday Night Raw earlier this week.
The original Chronicle series has five episodes so far with Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Dean Ambrose, Becky Lynch, and Paige as the previous subjects. Each episode is a short-form documentary-style video that usually lasts somewhere between 15-30 minutes.
The last episode which featured Paige showed her highs and lows of her return to WWE, the injury that ended her career, and receiving the call that told her she’s no longer able to compete.
The 205 Live tournament bracket to determine the new number one contender for the Cruiserweight title at WrestleMania has been published.
The left side of the bracket has Tony Nese vs Kalisto and The Brian Kendrick vs Drew Gulak. These two matches already took place, with now Nese facing Gulak in the semi final.
The right side of the bracket has Humberto Carrillo vs Oney Lorcan and Cedric Alexander vs Akira Tozawa. The winners of those two matches will face each other in the other semi final and then both winners of the semi finals wrestle each other in the final to get a ticket to WrestleMania.
A week after she requested to be let go of her Ring of Honor contract, former five-time Impact Knockouts champion Madison Rayne signed a new deal with Impact Wrestling.
Rayne signed a one-year deal with Ring of Honor last September but creative differences forced her to seek alternative employment. For the third time in her career, she will be calling Impact Wrestling her home following a new multi-year deal with the company.
Rayne was hopeful of a WWE deal last year and competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament under the name Ashley Rayne. However after being eliminated in the first round, she was never called back despite being a standout at an earlier WWE Performance Center tryout.
She wrestled for TNA between 2009 and 2017 and then returned to the company later in 2017 for less than a year. During her time there, Rayne was part of the Beautiful People and won the Knockouts title five times and the Knockouts Tag Team titles twice as well.
Los Angeles (March 1, 2019) – A pro wrestling spectacle unlike any other, NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING (NJPW) will hold the opening night of the 29th annual G1 CLIMAX tournament for the first time ever in the United States live on AXS TV on Saturday, July 6. NJPW takes over the American Airlines Center with the sport’s best athletes competing for glory as the top heavyweight wrestler of the summer.
The G1 CLIMAX is the most prestigious tournament in pro wrestling, beginning with night one in Dallas, Texas and continuing across Japan until the Aug. 12 finale in Tokyo. The best of NJPW’s roster will be represented in the tournament with around 20 wrestlers participating every year. Acclaimed NJPW commentator Kevin Kelly will call the action on AXS TV.
“The G1 CLIMAX tournament is the greatest tournament in pro wrestling and differentiates NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING from the competition,” said AXS TV FIGHTS CEO Andrew Simon. “Having night one take place in the United States shows that NJPW is now a global company with worldwide interest. We are excited to broadcast this historic night live to AXS TV fans.”
The event will be the fourth NJPW U.S. event to be broadcast live on AXS TV.
AXS TV premieres new episodes of NJPW every Friday night at 8pE/5pP as part of the weekly “Friday Night Fights” block leading into the new hit series WOW-WOMEN OF WRESTLING at 9pE and LEGACY FIGHTING ALLIANCE live at 10pE.

Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com is reporting that Dana Warrior, the wife of the late Ultimate Warrior, is now part of the WWE creative team, at least on temporary basis for the time being.
Warrior’s addition is to offer more “female perspective” in the male-dominated department and started her assignment this week, attending the television tapings and assisting.
Satin adds that her position within the team is not permanent although it could change depending on how she fits in and what she brings to the table.
Since the death of her husband, Dana has grown closer to the WWE family and was named as WWE Brand Ambassador a few years ago. WWE went out of their way to help Dana and her two daughters adjust to new life after the Ultimate Warrior passed away the day after he appeared on Monday Night Raw for the first time in 18 years in 2014.
Former Impact Knockouts champion Rosemary has signed a new two-year deal with Impact Wrestling.
The 35-year-old Canadian has been working for Impact Wrestling since 2016 and just recently returned to television after eight months out due to a torn ACL which she suffered while working an indie show. Rosemary resurfaced at the Impact Homecoming pay-per-view, now working as a babyface.
Rosemary’s new two-year deal was announced on Impact’s Press Pass podcast yesterday. Impact were hyping that a former champion would be re-signing with the company and while many thought it would be a former men’s champion, the former champion ended up being Rosemary.
The Q Arena website, which will host the Fastlane pay-per-view, is advertising that Roman Reigns will be wrestling on the show.
The website lists Roman Reigns teaming up with Seth Rollins to take on Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley in a handicap match. Reigns, who returned on Raw this past Monday, announced that he’s back but fell short of saying when he will be back in the ring. He is advertised for Raw shows moving forward.
The former WWE Universal champion has not wrestled in over four months after his leukemia returned after 11 years in remission. Reigns is now cancer-free again.
The match advertised on the Q Arena website has not been announced officially by WWE yet and the card is obviously subject to change.
The Undertaker sat down with Ed Young in front of a packed audience for a 30-minute sit-down interview which was completely out of character.
In this amazing interview, the former WWE champion discusses the longevity of his character, how Vince McMahon came up with The Undertaker character and was hired, the grueling travel schedule when he was working full time, the countless injuries and surgeries throughout his career, his wife Michelle McCool, the “phenomenal” Superstars of today, attending church, and much, much more.
On Vince McMahon, Taker said that “he’s awesome” and Vince wouldn’t ask anyone to do something he wouldn’t do himself. “When you see his energy you have to at least match it,” he said, calling him an awesome leader. “I call him boss, but we’re more like friends now!”
During the interview, The Undertaker cracks jokes, gets emotional, and it’s certainly a visual you’ve never seen before from The Phenom.
Jake Hager, the man previously known as Jack Swagger, will be fighting T.J. Jones in his second MMA fight for Bellator at Bellator 221.
Bellator 221 will take place at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, an arena that Hager knows very well from his WWE days. While no betting odds are out yet for the event, Hager will most likely be the favorite for this fight considering the quick work last time around. There are several online betting on MMA websites which you can check as the event gets closer.
Jones has a 1-1 record and the 28-year-old heavyweight from Missouri has not fought since October 27 at the Revolution Cage Warrior Challenge: Halloween Brawl On Boot Hill event. In that event, Jones defeated Erick Braly who has a 0-2 record himself.
Hager defeated J.W. Kiser via submission in the first round of his debut fight in Bellator last month. The ending came at 2:09 after Hager controlled Kiser on the ground and then locked a head and arm chokehold to make him tap.
The former World Heavyweight champion hoped that by the time his second fight comes around, he would be using his wrestling name of Jack Swagger. While WWE abandoned the trademark in 2011, there’s still a live trademark for the same name filed by Jackson Swagger under “Entertainment in the nature of live musical performances and acting.” Hager hopes that his trademark filing will eventually not interfere with the other Jack Swagger but a quick search on the USPTO website lists no new filings for that name. In fact, the only three filings that come up for Jack Swagger are the two abandoned WWE trademarks and the live one for the other Jack Swagger.
Using the name Jack Swagger is obviously more important for Hager as the majority of fans known him by his WWE name. In fact, during the weigh-ins for his debut fight at Bellator 214, he even did the “We The People” hand gesture. During the telecast of Bellator 214, Hager came out with R-Truth who rapped for his entrance theme and used the “We The People” catchphrase throughout. His video on the big screen also included shots from his time in WWE and he was sporting the “We The People” t-shirt as well.
Hager has often repeated that his MMA career has the support of WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, who told him “not to lose” in his first professional mixed martial arts fight. Several WWE Superstars posted photos and videos on Twitter during his fight showing their support, including recording themselves watching the fight backstage.
AEW’s Cody Rhodes will be appearing at the upcoming AAA’s Rey de Reyes show on Saturday, March 16.
The All Elite Wrestling Vice President will not be wrestling at the popular AAA show, which is being held in Puebla, Mexico. Rhodes recently underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and will not be lacing up his wrestling boots until the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in May.
AAA and All Elite Wrestling have a partnership which will enable the two promotions to exchange talent. AAA lucha libre stars will be at Double or Nothing but it’s unclear if Cody will be showing up at the Rey de Reyes show by himself or if his Elite team members will be tagging along.
