My time in DC is drawing to an end, a few more days to go before heading home. But it will be great watching the PPV at a decent hour tomorrow and on Monday I get to watch Raw live here in the capital. Will be live tweeting during the Elimination Chamber so if you don't follow us already, add @wrestlingonline to your Twitter feed! Thanks. ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at AEW SPELLS OUT MATT HARDY AS DARK ORDER LEADER...LITERALLY!- AEW pretty much confirmed Matt Hardy as the leader of The Dark Order in a clever tweet sent out early in the morning. The tweet is spread over nine lines. Line one has "Made from the void of hopelessness." Line two has "And from time spent away with the shadows," line three has "This is what it took for me to arrive," and line four has "The calling..." Then a blank space and the next line has "Hello?" with sixth saying "Are you there?" Seventh has "Ready & waiting," eighth has "Dark Order welcomes me," and ninth has "You are here." The spacing of each line allows for the first letter of each line to read...Matt Hardy. SCOTT STEINER COLLAPSES DURING IMPACT TAPINGS, RUSHED TO HOSPITAL- Former WCW champion Scott Steiner collapsed backstage during the latest Impact Wrestling tapings and was rushed to a hospital according to Sean Sapp of Fightful Wrestling. Steiner was doing pre-tapes backstage in Atlanta for a TNA-themed episode of Impact when the incident happened. Tommy Dreamer wrote on Twitter that he accompanied Steiner to the hospital with Scott D'Amore and Joey Ryan. "Scott Steiner is doing well. And under great care. Say a prayer for Big Poppa Pump. Holla if ya hear me," Dreamer wrote. D'Amore later took to Twitter himself to let everyone know that Steiner was doing "okay" in hospital and said his family is grateful for everyone's concern and support. Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet also added to the story that EMTs worked on Steiner on scene before he was transported to an ER, sounding like it might have been a heart attack. SMACKDOWN RATING- Yesterday's episode of Smackdown on FOX did a total of 2,452,000 viewers, off 2,579,000 viewers in the first hour and 2,326,000 viewers in the second hour. That was down 371,000 viewers from last week which had appearances from Goldberg and John Cena. This was the least-watched Smackdown since January 31. While usually topping demos, Smackdown actually trailed Shark Tank on ABC this time around while matching all the others. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com) THE BELLA TWINS PULLED OUT OF AXXESS SIGNING- The Bella Twins WrestleMania Axxess Premium+ autograph signing has been canceled and WWE will be announcing a replacement soon. Tickets for the autograph signing were supposed to go on sale yesterday morning but WWE announced the cancelation at 10AM in a post on social media. Nikki and Brie were set for the Saturday 1PM session before they were pulled from the show. "Sorry about this #BellaArmy we love you," Nikki wrote replying to the announcement. It's unknown why their appearance was nixed from Axxess although both being pregnant combined with the coronavirus fears, it's understandable if they were pulled because of that. WWE CONFIRMS EDGE FOR RAW IN DC- WWE has confirmed that WWE Hall of Famer Edge will be appearing live on Monday Night Raw from Washington, DC. This will be Edge's first appearance since the Raw after the Royal Rumble where he was viciously attacked by Randy Orton. Since then, Orton has attacked and ended Matt Hardy's WWE run and also took out Edge's wife Beth Phoenix. Phoenix was on the receiving end of an RKO during Raw earlier this week. Edge and Orton, the former tag team known as Rated RKO, will be taking on each other at WrestleMania, a match which is expected to be made official on Monday. The Capital One Arena actually spoiled Edge's appearance on the show last week when it promoted him on social media.
