Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring The Undertaker and Jade Cargill.
• During an episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker praised King of the Ring Gunther big time.
Here’s what The Phenom said:
“Gunther is my guy. 2 Years ago, he had about a 10-minute conversation with my little boy. My little boy is fascinated by him. Colt is fascinated by him. They had a conversation out of the clear blue and he sat there and just talked to him.
That’s not why he’s my guy. He’s my guy because he knows how to work and tell a story. I’m real high on him.”
Gunther is scheduled to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2024.
• WWE Clash At The Castle has been hailed as one of the most thrilling and successful events in the Paul “Triple H” Levesque era. The show set a record-breaking gate, and fans in Scotland were treated to an electrifying experience. However, the event also sparked discussions about several notable botches involving the ropes.
One of the most talked-about incidents involved Jade Cargill, who attempted a high-flying move by jumping through the ropes but failed to execute it properly. Another mishap occurred during the main event when Damian Priest tried to perform a dive over the ropes but also botched the attempt.
These incidents led to speculation and criticism, with some detractors attributing the botches to issues with the ropes. However, WWE superstar Shayna Baszler, who was in the match where one of the botches occurred, took to social media to address the controversy.
Baszler used her X account to highlight her partner Zoey Stark’s flawless execution of three springboard moves during the same event. By doing so, she subtly suggested that the mistakes made by Cargill and Priest were due to their own errors, not any problem with the ropes.
“‘Ropes issue’ but @ZoeyStarkWWE nails 3 perfect springboards. MVP status,” Baszler posted, clearly implying that Stark’s successful maneuvers debunked the rope issue claims.
Cargill fired back at Baszler with the following response:
“I’m sorry that no one came to see you two. I clapped inside though
I was hoping that would help you. You little ‘pick me’.”
