Report: Chelsea Green is WWE-bound again

PWInsider.com is reporting that Chelsea Green is WWE-bound after she wrapped up her commitments with Impact Wrestling during the last set of television tapings.

Green, the wife of Matt Cardona, had quite a disastrous run in WWE, mainly due to two lengthy injuries between 2018 and 2021 and was released in April 2021.

After leaving WWE, she made appearances for Ring of Honor before she returned to Impact Wrestling at Slammiversary. She previously worked for Impact between 2016 and 2018 under the name Laurel Van Ness but used her real name during the latest run.

The 31-year-old is a former Impact Knockouts champion and Knockouts Tag Team champion with Deonna Purrazzo as VXT.

Jericho tells Punk he’s a “cancer” in the AEW locker room

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Wrestling is reporting through his Select service that Chris Jericho told CM Punk that he was a “cancer” in the AEW locker room following his explosive All Out press conference.

The two crossed paths backstage after Punk finished his expletive-filled rant and Jericho was on his way to do his and that’s when the exchange happened.

As we all know the story, Punk then went into the locker room and was then confronted by Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks where a brawl took place, resulting in all of them getting suspended and their titles stripped.

Ace Steel has already lost his job as a producer in AEW as a result of the fight. The Elite are seemingly back to their regular jobs after a two-month suspension while Punk, who is out injured for months, is in negotiations with AEW to have his contract bought out, ending his one-year stint in the company in the most dramatic way.

Dave Meltzer of the Observer also noted that Jericho along with other top names have indicated that they will not be willing to work with Punk if he’s brought back to the company, with most of the talent backstage pretty much turning on CM Punk following the bad decisions after All Out.

NXT rating for 10/25/2022

The Halloween Havoc fallout episode of NXT drew 716,000 viewers this week on USA Network, up 40,000 viewers from last week’s broadcast which went head-to-head with AEW Dynamite. The show did a 0.15 rating in 18-49 demo, down 0.03 from last week and placed #19 on the top 50 cable chart. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)

STARDOM’s Syuri tops PWI’s Top 150 Women’s list

STARDOM’s Syuri topped this year’s PWI Top 150 Women’s list, becoming the first wrestler from a Japanese promotion to take the top spot. Syuri is the current World of Stardom Champion, a title she held for the past 302 days. She placed #7 in last year’s list which had WWE’s Bianca Belair in #1.

Belair dropped one place and was the runner up in the 2022 list. In total, there were three from WWE, two from AEW, two from Impact, and three from STARDOM in the top 10 list.

AEW Women’s champion Thunder Rosa was in third place, followed by Becky Lynch in fourth, TBS champion Jade Cargill in fifth, Jordynne Grace in sixth, Saya Kamitani in seventh, Charlotte Flair in eighth, Starlight Kid in ninth, and Taya Valkyrie in tenth.

John Cena cast in new action movie with Idris Elba

16-time world champion John Cena has been cast in the upcoming Heads of State movie for Amazon Studios along with Idris Elba.

The news, reported by The Hollywood Reporter, also says that the movie will be directed by Russian-born Ilya Naishuller. Amazon bought the rights for the movie in October 2020.

“Plot details are being kept vague but the project is being described as Air Force One meets Midnight Run, centered on a mismatched pair who are in over their heads in a high-stakes situation,” THR says about the synopsis of the movie.

Peter Safran and John Rickard are producing Heads of State via The Safran Company while Harrison Query wrote the initial script and Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec wrote the most recent draft.

Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks backstage at Dynamite

The return of Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks on AEW television is imminent after a vignette about The Elite aired yesterday on Dynamite.

The video had clips of the trio and their best moments from AEW, with a nice effect of all of them vanishing from the screen before the next clip is shown. The final image had The Elite posing with their titles as the AEW logo burns through.

AEW has not mentioned Omega or The Bucks in any way, shape, or form, since the All Out pay-per-view where they were involved in a backstage brawl with CM Punk and Ace Steel. All of them were suspended and stripped off their titles.

An internal investigation is rumored to be nearly complete. Ace Steel has already lost his job due to his involvement and Punk, while injured, will not be returning and there are negotiations going on for AEW to buy out his contract.

Meanwhile, Omega and The Bucks were all backstage at last night’s Dynamite in Virginia, their first time at an AEW show in nearly two months.

Dynamite TV report for 10/26/2022

AEW Dynamite, Weds 10/26/22

Arena: Chartway Arena

City:Norfolk, VA

Last Week’s Rating: 752,000 overall; 0.26 in 18-49 demo

A few updates on Brawl Out.

Per Fightful, the Elite could be back, at least in a backstage role, ‘’imminently’’.  While Wrestling Inc. heard from Punk’s ‘camp’ that his dog Larry was accidentally injured when the Elite ‘’kicked in’’ the door to his dressing room.  Oh yeah, also that the scrum itself wasn’t a big deal, only escalating due to the above.

Delusion or Stupidity are the only choices.

It’s Wednesday night, it’s Dynamite.  Let’s go.

…..

Chris Jericho & Daniel Garcia vs Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta

Backstory: Yuta & Claudio seeking revenge after Garcia turned on Bryan Danielson amid months-long BCC/JAS feud; Yuta also jealous of Danielson’s regard for Garcia

Let’s get this out of the way.  The whole Garcia/Danielson storyline was made stupid by the fact that Garcia fought both Jericho and Sammy only a week before revealing that it was all a part of the plan as he turned on Danielson.  Classic Swerve Bro!

Logically, it should lead to a fired-up BCC uniting to kick the heels’ asses.  Instead, Yuta is in his feelings because Danielson said Garcia can be the best wrestler in the world.  Infighting storylines – with rare exception – suck.

Regal joined on comms.

The vets kicked things off, Jericho bird-ing the crowd from both hands, Claudio launching into uppercuts, backing him into the corner, dropping him via clothesline as Jericho fled for a tag to Garcia.  Castagnoli did the same, the youngsters in, dropkick by Yuta, straight to work on the wrist and arm, chops and punches in the corner until Garcia landed a headbutt.

But was caught into a powerslam, then a senton splash as Claudio intercepted Jericho and the BCC went to work with dual hammer and anvils.  2.0 interfered after Hager took the ref, not that it helped much, Yuta still in charge, tag to Castagnoli, big uppercut for the first two-count of the evening.

Garcia slipped out of a suplex but bailed after nearly being caught in the Giant Swing, bringing Jericho back.  A very pre-determined looking spot brought the break, Claudio basically waiting on the apron for the springboard dropkick.

Pretty redundant so far.

Loud boos brought us back, Garcia clambering all over Claudio with a sleeper locked in.  The Swiss muscling him up off his back and into a suplex.  Both guys down, Garcia quicker to tag, Jericho nearly got the Walls but Claudio shook him off, then walloped him with the lifting uppercut.

Allowing the tag to Yuta, splash off the top for two, ground and pound as Garcia came in.  Until Jericho poked the eye, Claudio back in, caught in the Codebreaker mid-springboard.

Regal’s great.  Quietly and intently rooting for his men.  Not remotely over the top.

Having enough of the interference, Yuta took out both 2.0 and Garcia.  Castagnoli set up Jericho for the Swing, again doing a double-shift as Garcia climbed on his back mid-way through.  More inteference from Hager – Claudio attacked him with a cannonball off the apron, then ran through all the heels on the outside, Neutralizer inside to Jericho.  1, 2, 3.

Guess Claudio’s getting a rematch?

Most of this was fine.  The ending flurry from Claudio was great, making him look strong.  And made the crowd happy.

WINNER: Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta

Rene with Bryan Danielson.  Who’s frustrated about losing to Jericho, that Garcia turned on him and that Yuta talked back to him last week.  He’s gonna take it all out on Sammy tonight.  Which is when Yuta arrived back from his match.  Immediately getting in Danielson’s face.  The youngster came across as arrogant and sarcastic.  I hope he’s supposed to be the heel.

Claudio was the voice of reason.

Video package for the Elite.  Hard to describe.  Bunch of random quotes in voiceover format, beginning by showing them at the announcement of the company and ending with a burning AEW logo.

Guess the reports were true.

JAS interview with Tony.  The audio cut in-and-out throughout.  Jericho’s now going after all Ring of Honor titles and performers.  Open challenge for any ex-ROH next week.

FTR vs Swerve in our Glory, #1 Contendership Match

Backstory: FTR have been the #1 contenders since they beat T-Rex & Triceratops, but agreed to give the ex-champs a chance to earn back their titles: winners face the Acclaimed at Full Gear

Nice reactions for all.  Particularly FTR.  The Gunn Club were in the front row dressed as Dax and Cash.

Before things got going, the champs came out to watch, scissoring with steel chairs before taking a seat at the top of the ramp.

Tentative start from Swerve and Cash, the latter working a headlock until an athletic sequence from Strickland culminated in a headscissors, leading to him showing off.

Harwood in, short leg-drop, two count.  Shot to the kidney allowed Swerve to tag in the Big Man.  Who FTR immediately tried to Big Rig with little-to-no luck.  The Big Fella then leapfrogged both before crashing into them via crossbody as the ads arrived.

Crowd oohed and aahed at that sequence.

Strickland had Cash stuck in the wrong corner as we returned.  Tag to Lee, Wheeler desperate to tag out but muscled back towards Swerve, who tagged himself in, again cutting off the ring.

Until Wheeler got a back body drop, bringing Dax in to assault Strickland with hard chops, slaps and shots to the face.  To such an extent that Lee came in to aid his partner, Dax darting out the way as the big man crashed through the ropes to the outside.

Series of close falls from both: Swerve slipped coming off the top, big German by Dax, tag to Cash, Swerve blasted by shots from both, Dragon Suplex into a bridge for a close two.

FTR do such a great job making it seem like theyre trying desperately to get the tag.

Series of uppercuts from Swerve, who vaulted off Dax on the apron, allowing the tag to Lee, huge spinning kick from Strickland to Dax, then a Lee powerbomb from at least three stories for another very close count.

FTR chant from the crowd as Swerve and Lee setup their finish, Cash slipped out, Swerve went for the Stomp, Dax caught him, crazy sequence with the two fighting for control until Harwood eventually dropped him via slingshot bomb.  For which Lee blasted him with a pounce.

‘This is awesome!’

FTR perched Lee up top, Harwood looking for a superplex, Cash tagging in, Powerplex, Cash landing on Lee’s back, the commentators explaining that this was the only reason the big guy kicked out.

Big Rig setup again but Swerve interfered. Leading to Cash attakcing him, after which they finally landed the Big Rig on Lee.  1, 2… Strickland with the desperation save.  The action quickly spilled outside where he sent Wheeler into the Gunns in the front row.  Dax got a rollup inside for another two on Lee.  But with both the ref and Lee distracted, Swerve landed a shot to the ‘groin’ of Dax and an unaware Lee took advantage for the surprise win.

Rapid contest almost impossible to keep up with.  FTR are a perfect contrast for almost every team in the company, meshing traditional tag team concepts with modern day speed.

Post-match, the Ass Boys tried to attack but the Acclaimed quickly cut them off.

Can understand not wanting to beat FTR at the PPV or take the belts off the Acclaimed, but I really hope AEW have something good planned for FTR at Full Gear.

WINNER: Swerve in our Glory

Renee with Saraya.  The two friends were catching up when Britt immediately interrupted.  Renee told them if they wanted to talk they could ‘do it properly’.  Which somehow quelled a heated argument.  Another nothing segment with Saraya.  She loses star-power every week.  And she’s not to blame.  Next week’s segment needs to feel and be big.

Back with Renee, this time on the stage to bring out MJF.  Of course, the wife of his next opponent.  LOUD MJF chant.  Totally playing up the babyface thing, he asked if there were ‘any devil worshippers in the house’.  Renee asked how he felt about his upcoming match.

Max mimicked Mox – including threatening to ‘gargle’ MJF’s piss.

Backing up a little, Max admitted that when he said he wanted to win clean, he ‘meant relatively clean.’  Though he did promise not to use his diamond ring in the match.  Because he didn’t need to.  He has a chip on his shoulder, and at Full Gear, he’s not facing Mox or Penta, but everyone who ever doubted him, ‘when I become your new AEW champion of the world!’

Stokely Hathaway came out, implying they’d attack Mox before the match.  Max got pissed: if Hathaway ‘even looked at’ Mox, ‘you’re fired’.  He counted down to his catchphrase so the crowd could join in.

This was classic babyface with a wink and a nod.

The Kingdom/WarJoe video promo (the Kingdom are an ROH trio comprised of Matt Taven, Mike Bennett & Maria Kanellis).  Match between Wardlow and Taven set for ROHmpage.

Bryan Danielson vs Sammy Guevara

Backstory: Danielson seeking revenge after being turned on and attacked by Daniel Garcia; also looking to prove his commitment to BCC after it was questioned by Yuta

Big response for Danielson.  Regal back on comms.  The vet refusing to answer questions about BCC problems.

Charging right for each other, Guevara won out via kick to the face, step-up enziguri in the corner, springboard cutter for a very early two which the crowd did not buy.

‘Sammy sucks’ chant as he set-up for GTH, Danielson switched to a German, Sammy flipped out but was caught by Danielson and locked into the Romero Special slap bang in the middle.

Vicious knees to the head followed, Guevara on the mat, picked up into an uppercut, then another, a chop waking Guevara.  Who fired back with some of his own, firing off shots to the face which Danielson ate every one of, backing Guevara back into the corner, then dropping him with another stiff uppercut.

Next targeting the wrists as Excalibur finally gave us an update on Hangman, who’s apparently doing well.  Into ground and pound – the vet launching hard punches to the head before announcing that it was head kicking time.  Leading to Guevara bailing outside, where he met a Danielson tope with a rising knee, then a spectacular Asai Moonsault.

Continuing where he left off, Sammy was working over Danielson with No! kicks, the vet catching the last one, slapping Guevara to his knees, backing him into the corner, firing off Yes! kicks, whipping him into the ropes, duck under, leaping elbow strike to the face.  Rapid sequence.

Guevara back-body dropped outside, landing on his feet but blasted by another Danielson elbow through the ropes.  After dragging him back in, the vet hit a shotgun dropkick off the top.

Guevara got to his knees, open for Yes! kicks, but suckering BD into a standing Spanish Fly.  Before heading to the top but being crotched, Danielson hooking an avalanche belly to back from which Sammy again landed on his feet.  Straight back to the top: double moonsault, Danielson avoided both, standing shooting star from which Danielson snatched him into the LeBell Lock.

That definitely should’ve been the finish, absolutely fantastic sequence, but Sammy got the ropes with his feet.

A top rope Spanish Fly got Sammy two.  After which he fired shots to the face, bite to the forehead, up for the GTH, Danielson countered with a poisonrana as the crowd clapped along.  Then blistered Sammy with a Busaiku knee, kick your head in stomps, into the Triangle, elbows to the head while in the hold.  Referee stoppage for the win.

This was fantastic.  Sammy’s really spectacular and it’s nice to see contrasting styles make for a helluva fight.  Refreshingly, given the last week or so, not a jot of outside interference.

WINNER: Bryan Danielson

The very busy Renee was joined by Rey Fenix and Alex Abrahantes to ask about tonight’s main event.  After saying Penta would become a double champ, Rey said maybe he should too, the All-Atlantic title his target.  Which is when Christian interrupted, saying Luchasaurus wanted it.  Triple Threat match made for next week.

Riho vs Jamie Hayter

Backstory: Riho cleared the ring of Rebel and Hayter upon returning last week

Announcers talked up the size difference as we got started, Hayter using it well – backing Riho into the corner, knocking her down with shoulder blocks but being caught via headscissors.  Britt interfered but Hayter was low-bridged to the outside, Riho then launching from the top via cross body.

Just like last week.

Pissed, Hayter began flinging her lighter opponent around ringside before taking her back in for a snap suplex into a powerslam for two.  Then another.  Very unique move.  Hayter well on top with a knee to the neck as the break beckoned.

Riho fired back with a dropkick, rolling through an attempted cazadora into a leaping stomp to the gut, both emerging in opposite corners, Riho launching herself at Hayter, then knocking Rebel – attempting to interfere -off the apron.

Cross body from the top, Hayter caught her and rolled through into a sheer-drop brainbuster for two.  Crowd very quiet.

Shot to Riho’s spine, Riho got the boots up in the corner, tejeiras as Britt again grabbed the boot.  A very orchestrated-looking Code Red to Hayter for another two.  Diving foot stomp off the top missed, Hayter hit a backbreaker across the knee, missed with a ripcord lariat missed, allowing Riho to hook a Dragon Suplex for yet another two.

Riho grabbed another two with a roll-up, Hayter popped up and finally landed the Ripcord Lariat – which Riho kept avoiding – for the win.

Between the crowd reaction and the incessant interference, I couldn’t get into this despite looking forward to it.

Afterwards, Toni Storm came out to wave.

WINNER: Jamie Hayter

‘What up sis’.  Eddie Kingston with Renee.  Kingston put on a false smile when asked about his friends being concerned about him.  Eddie said he thought Moxley would win.  ‘Everyone else, leave me alone.’

Darby Allin promo.  He wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.  Sting convinced him not to, leading Darby to ask the vet to let him prove himself alone.  Then referenced Lethal saying an old friend had told them Allin’s weakness, challenging them to produce the guy next week.

Dutt countered by saying ‘be careful what you wish for ‘cause you might get it’.  Think that up all by yourself Sonjay?

Jon Moxley vs Penta, AEW Title

Backstory: Moxley made a challenge for an opponent he hasn’t beaten before, Penta accepted

I talked post-Rampage about the importance of title matches being meaningful.  Perfect example here.  Penta’s one of my favorite guys.  But he’s done nothing to earn this, there’s no backstory and his already slim chance of winning is rendered null by the announcement of the PPV main event last week.

Non-title would’ve been fine.

Taz did a nice job highlighting that Mox couldn’t let the potential match with MJF distract him.

‘Zero Miedo’ played as the two met in the middle, head-to-head, couple pushes, wary start.

A frantic exchange of open-hand slaps and chops really got us going, graduating into a slugfest.  Mox kick to the knee, looking for the Paradigm Shift, Penta blasted him with a thust kick, Regal Knee avoided, rollup for two.

Moxley was thinking KKL, Penta cut him off with a wagging finger – ‘zero… miedo’.  Mox responded with a bird but was sent outside and hit with a plancha.

Back inside, Mox on his knees in the ropes, Penta striking with stiff kicks, forearm to the face but the champ caught him with a boot then flung him belly to belly style into the buckle.  Ten of the best followed, the champ stopping for a snack – on Penta’s forehead – things then sped up as both ducked and dodged while running the ropes, a Slingblade seeing Penta look for Fear Factor but Mox snapped up into a Cutter.

Afterwards targeting his opponent with hammer and anvils while in a choke/headlock.  Undoing his mask to escape, Penta immediately thought armbreaker, Moxley responded with stomps to the face, Penta slipped back out into the armbreaker, this time hitting it to bag a two count.

Taking the fight to the apron, Penta hit an enziguri, looking for a destroyer on the steps but eating a ddt on the steel instead.

Taking it back inside, Moxley landed the KKL for two slaps of the mat.  Then hauled Penta topside, firing away, Penta slipping out, kick to the knee, diving footstomp, Fear Factor in the middle, Mox just kicking out before three.

Pausing for ‘Zero… Miedo’, Penta thought springboard, was caught with a kick to the gut and a pair of Death Riders as the champ retained.  Morrisey (remember they hired him?) and the Firm attacked immediately afterward, beating down Mox.

Good match.  Penta in particular shone here.

We cut backstage to where the BCC had been locked in their dressing room.

Finally, MJF came to the ramp, wracked by whether to help or not, before finally deciding to disrupt the attack and fire Hathaway.  After which Ethan Page blasted him.  The commentators tried so hard to convince us that Morrisey and Page were big deals.

Two years of TV tells otherwise.

After minutes of kicking and punching, Page hit an Ego’s Edge to MJF.  But we still weren’t done.  This went on.  And on.  And on.  Finally ending with MJF being chokeslammed through a table by W.

Reminiscent of when Dynamite ended with the Dark Order beating down the Elite in one of the most unpopular endings in the show’s history.

WINNER: Jon Moxley

…..

Next Rampage:

  • Wardlow vs Matt Taven, TNT Title
  • Rayne vs Melo
  • Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta vs 2.0

Next Dynamite:

  • Darby Allin vs Jay Lethal
  • Orange Cassidy vs Luchasaurus vs Rey Fenix, All-Atlantic Title
  • Renee sits down with Britt Baker & Saraya
  • Jericho vs a former ROH champ, ROH Title
  • ‘Daddy Ass Bday Bash’

…..

Overall impressions

An incredibly busy show with good action but which lacked last week’s variety.  And that ending sucked.  The Firm storyline makes absolutely no sense, and those involved make absolutely no impression.  If they’re allowed to become a fixture in the feud surrounding the world championship, they’ll drag it down.

Check Out

  • Swerve in our Glory vs FTR
  • Sammy Guevara vs Bryan Danielson

Thanks for reading.  See you for ROHmpage ;).

NJPW orders Anderson to either defend or vacate NEVER Openweight title

New Japan Pro-Wrestling has ordered Karl Anderson, it’s NEVER Openweight champion, to either defend his title on the November 5 show or else vacate the title and return it to the promotion immediately.

The request was done via a statement released yesterday posted on social media and the NJPW official website.

NJPW said that the booking was made through the appropriate channels and with Anderson’s expressed approval despite both Gallows and Anderson saying the contrary in a video posted last week.

The statement said that NJPW has also attempted to negotiate with Anderson for the past several days but there was no response from his side.

“New Japan Pro-Wrestling holds its champions to the highest standards of professionalism, and sincerely apologizes to fans for any disappointment or inconvenience caused by this matter,” the promotion said.

Anderson won the NEVER Openweight title from Tara Tonga in June of this year at Dominion 6.12 in Osaka-jo Hall in Osaka, Japan.

Meanwhile, his opponent Hikuleo wrote on Twitter that Anderson doesn’t need to vacate his title and he’ll wait.

“I’m not vacating anything. I’m the greatest #NeverOpenweightChampion of all time,” Anderson wrote. “I’ll defend it on my time…get with my booking agent @The_BigLG. I’ll see ya then @Hiku_Leo. That’s #TooSweet.”

CJ Perry discusses Miro’s lack of television time in AEW

Appearing on Busted Open Radio to promote her appearance on Surreal Life, former WWE Superstar CJ “Lana” Perry spoke about her husband’s lack of screen time on AEW television lately.

Perry said that there’s an illusion that anyone walking into AEW would book their own segments and matches and the talent have a free rein.

“That was definitely the conversation…’Oh you go there and you’re basically going to become whatever you’re made of’, but at the end of the day, he’s [Tony Khan] booking the show,” she said.

Perry noted how AEW is really no different than WWE apart from a different booker. “It’s like comparing NBC to HBO. At the end of the day, he’s going to make that final call. That’s what it is,” she said.

She also said that just like Vince McMahon and Triple H had or have their favorites and push their people, Khan has his own favorites and does the same that the powers that be in WWE do.

“It’s show business. It’s nothing personal. It just is what it is,” Perry continued, adding that while Vince McMahon really valued him, the two butted heads at the end over creative differences.

“It’s casting. It’s the director. It’s the showrunner, and at the end of the day, we are hired talent. If you really don’t like the person you’re working for, then go start your own wrestling promotion and see how that goes for you,” Perry said.

Raw rating for 10/24/2022

Monday Night Raw had a good beating in the numbers this week as the show fell to 1,641,000 viewers on average, down 162,000 viewers from last week’s broadcast.

Tommaso Ciampa undergoes hip labrum surgery, out for months

Tommaso Ciampa underwent surgery again at Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center in Birmingham, Alabama, this time under the care of Dr Benton Emblom.

“The road to recovery begins. It’s a familiar road. Almost too familiar,” Ciampa wrote in a post on Instagram along with a photo with his doctor.

“Special thanks to Dr Emblom and his team for taking such incredible care of me. Thanks to the WWE medical team for once again putting me back together. And thanks to my ‘nurses’ at home for always giving me perspective,” he continued.

The former NXT champion said that while it took them a while the find the cause of the back pain, it turned out to be an issue with his hip labrum, which according to his wife who saw the surgery, “looked like shredded cheese.”

Recovery from hip labrum surgery can take between six to nine months, which means another lengthy spell out for Ciampa.

Ava Raine unveiled as newest member of The Schism

Ava Raine, the daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, made her NXT debut last night after she was unveiled as the newest member of The Schism.

Her unveiling caps off a few weeks of teases where she appeared with the faction under a hood. On Saturday at Halloween Havoc, Joe Gacy asked if the mystery figure was ready for the reveal and nodded in agreement. Gacy then said that the unveiling would happen on Tuesday.

Raine, real name Simone Johnson, tweeted, “I’ve found my family” after her segment aired.

The young fourth-generation star made it clear months ago that she wants to create her own path rather than riding on the family name.
