• Veteran AEW Personality Wants Wrestlers To Be Careful With Chest Strikes
Below are some quick WWE, AEW & NJPW updates:
– Veteran AEW personality Taz wants wrestlers to be careful with chest strikes. Below is what the ECW Legend tweeted:
“Pro Wrestlers: Let’s think before doing big stiff stomps on someones chest & full speed running knee strikes to the sternum/chest area. As wrestlers we need to change/adjust to education of what’s happening. Like head blows/concussions, I’m so HAPPY we have made changes.”
– 2 Matches announced for next week’s AEW Dynamite:
Ricky Starks vs. Jake Hager
Bryan Danielson vs. Bandido
– RAW wrestler Johnny Gargano is currently injured. He tweeted the following:
“I injured my shoulder at a live event in Toronto (ironic?), and the medical team is going to protect me from myself for a bit.. but you better believe I’m going to do EVERYTHING I can to get back in that ring so I can be that guy you all know I can be. Just let me in that Rumble!”
– According to PWInsider, SmackDown wrestler & current NXT Tag Team Champion Xavier Woods is banged up and not cleared to wrestle.
That’s why Kofi Kingston has been wrestling in singles matches on NXT & WWE Live Events as of late, with Xavier in his corner. Woods is expected to get cleared in time for Royal Rumble 2023.
– Mercedes Mone’s (fka Sasha Banks) return match against Kairi Sane at NJPW Battle In The Valley for the IWGP Women’s Championship on February 18th has sold out.
