Recently on a taping of NXT the announcement of this year's War Games match was made. This year's match will be done differently and will be between two teams of four. The match will be between the undisputed era and the team of the war raiders, Ricochet and Pete Dunne. Whilst this match is guaranteed to be fantastic I brings up the question of whether this is the beginning of the end of Undisputed Era's time on NXT. Whether they'll be used well or not on the main roster I personally think is a point best not to think about.
      Last night was the televised debut of NXT UK. The show works well especially with timing due to it being an hour, in the UK this means it lasts from 8 pm to 9 pm. This works with school hours and works as a great way to end the day hear. The pilot show was good with two good mid quality matches and and a great main event. The usage of the match, promo, match, promo and then match formula works well especially with British wrestling. The British style relies on a weird mixture of both fun and light hearted stories and hard hitting emotional stories of harsh rivalries and I feel the show captures this or at least it seems it will do. Anyway the show is guaranteed to have some memorable matches and later episodes I can guarantee will capture this, just wait for Jordan Devlin to start showing up.
       Recently Bullet Club (Cody, Marty Scrull, Young Bucks and Hangman Page ) were revealing the 'final' bullet club shirts. This paired with the constant hinting and teasing from Tama Tonga really makes it seem that they're going to WWE. Whilst this seems to be unrealistic especially for Cody you never know. I think this brings up the stigma of joining WWE that's growing in the indies. One day we're going to see this seriously injure the company at some point in the future but by then I think a new company would be ready to take its place.
       On Smackdown 1000 Batista returned to WWE in a segment featuring Evolution were he fired shots at his fellow ex stable mate Triple H. This hints at the rumoured match between the both at Wrestlemania 35. Having him on Smackdown already shows an improvement in the relations between WWE and Batista. Whilst a proper return is yet to be achieved it is on the horizon and I'm looking forward to that moment. Don't quote me on this but don't be surprised if Batista is involved somehow at SurvivorSeries.
       The WWE World Cup will be the best showcase of wrestlers and different styles. That's why everyone in it is from America and are iconic to WWE. Don't get me wrong there probably will be a good match or two but come on. The company has wrestlers from Japan ( Shinsuke Nakamura), Ireland (Finn Bàlor) and don't forget the UK guys. Honestly I'm a bit disappointed by this but I wouldn't let it take too much away form the tournament but it still annoys me a bit.
      TMZ recently broke the news that Charlotte Flair and Ric Flair are being sued by Ricky Paul Johnson who is the ex husband of Charlotte Flair. He is sieving them for damage due to the book Second Nature which was written by both Charlotte and Ric Flair. He claims that references to him physically and physcologial abusing her, being sterile ( which makes no sense as he has kids) and a reference to him being fired twice for drug abuse. He claims the $5 million due to damages caused by the book to his family and his three children due to the book depicting him as a villain of sorts that showed how Charlotte over came some struggles.
