Heading back home in around two hours after almost two weeks here in Washington. Hopefully not carrying any coronavirus LOL! ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at NXT PREVIEW- Tonight's NXT will be taking place from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, as the state-of-the-art facility is turned into an arena. WWE had to move out of Full Sail for this week due to an event which was already booked and couldn't be relocated. Two title matches will take place tonight with Keith Lee defending his North American title against Cameron Grimes and The BroserWeights versus The Undisputed Era for the Tag Team titles. Mia Yim and Dakota Kai will also face each other for a spot in the #1 contender's ladder match at the upcoming Takeover. Other feuds that will certainly continue on the broadcast are Adam Cole's reaction to last week's ass whopping by Velveteen Dream and the next chapter in the Gargano/Ciampa story. TAMPA OFFICIALS MEETING TOMORROW TO TALK ABOUT LARGE EVENTS- City of Tampa officials will be meeting with Mayor Jane Castor tomorrow to discuss the possibilities of either canceling or postponing major events due to the coronavirus. One major, and probably the biggest, event coming to Tampa over the course of the next few weeks is obviously WrestleMania. Taking place at the Ray James Stadium with week-long activities around the city, WrestleMania is expected to bring in some 80,000 fans from all around the world descending upon the city for shows, meet and greets, and all kinds of other fun. If the show goes ahead as planned, there will be new guidelines for meet and greets. WWE already implemented a no-touching policy so no one will be shaking hands or giving hugs. WWE is not the only game in town that weekend as several other independent promotions will be holding several shows as part of WrestleCon. Over the past 24 hours, Tampa Bay registered three new coronavirus patients, with two in Pinellas county and one in Pasco county. Florida as a state had five additional cases. ROB GRONKOWSKI HEADING TO WWE- Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet revealed last night on WWE Backstage that former New England Patriots player and huge WWE fan Rob Gronkowski is close to signing a deal with WWE. It was not revealed in what way Gronkowski would be used once he signs on the dotted line but the three-time Super Bowl winner who recently retired works as an analyst for FOX Sports right now so a similar role wouldn't be far fetched. Satin suggested that the first time that Gronk could show up as a WWE employee is on the March 20 episode of Smackdown. Gronkowski is big friends with Mojo Rawley and made an appearance at WrestleMania 33 when he helped Rawley win the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. He recently hosted Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at his Super Bowl party. The 30-year-old spent nine years in the NFL and was the Patriots' tight end receiver. Apart from three championship rings, he was a four-time first team All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl. He was also nominated in the NFL 100th Anniver sary All-Time team. Gronk retired due to injuries he suffered on the football field saying that all the injuries during his career had taken a toll on his mental health. THE YOUNG BUCKS BURY MATT HARDY ON LATEST FREE THE DELETE- "Today is the day it ends. Today is the day it begins." That was a tweet that Matt Hardy sent this morning as once again Wednesday is upon us. In the newest episode of Free The Delete released at Noon, which also featured The Young Bucks, Matt Hardy is buried in a coffin. "You two are the only ones who can disconnect Zenith. Please, save us!" Hardy says as Matt and Nick Jackson question his option to get buried. They then proceed to each super kick him but Hardy comes back up, saying that they couldn't bury anyone, calling them "vice pussies." At that point, Matt and Nick deliver a double super kick and knock Hardy out. "I guess that's why they call him Fat Hardy," Matt Jackson says as they lift him up to place him in the coffin. Hardy's son Maxel also makes an appearance. In one of the outtakes, published by Reby Hardy, Maxel comes up to the Young Bucks and asks them if Randy Orton is with them as they both burst out laughing. You can watch the insanity at . Meanwhile, Hardy will be appearing at WrestleCon during WrestleMania weekend on Friday, April 3 and Saturday, April 4. Both his appearances will be at the George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa starting at 11AM. Prices are $50 for a photo or $60 for a printed photo. Tickets can be purchased at . A WrestleCon admission ticket is required on top of those prices. DYNAMITE PREVIEW- Dynamite rolls into Wrest Valley City, Utah tonight with a show from the Maverik Center as the anticipation for The Exalted One and leader of the Dark Order continues. So far, only three matches have been announced for the broadcast including Hangman Page and a mystery partner taking on Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara, The Death Triangle versus Joey Janela and Private Party, and Jurassic Express taking on The Butcher, The Blade, and MJF. Tickets remain available for tonight's broadcast and are available at AEWTix.com. ======================================================== ADVERTISING: (C) Copyright 1996-2020 Wrestling-Online.com ======================================================== |
