- WWE Hall of famer and ‘Hardcore Legend’ Mick Foley has been a known vocal supporter of Divas wrestling for many years. Understandably, he was looking forward to the NXT Takeover:Respect main-event match between Sasha Banks and Bayley.
With the match turning out the way it did, Foley posted the following on Facebook, complementing the Divas and calling for more support for the division:
“SASHA…BAYLEY…HISTORY
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Here’s my prediction for ?#SashaVsBayley? tonight at ?#NXTTakeoverRespect?. Grown men will try hard not to cry..and fail, and two incredibly talented, intensely dedicated young ladies will give everything they have – emotionally and physically – to create a memory that we, as wrestling fans, can cherish for a lifetime. If you’ve been on the fence about the ?#WWENetwork?, now would be a really good time to get off. Watch the stellar ?#WWE24? ?#NXTBrooklyn? special. Then watch ?#NXTTakeover?, tonight at 8pm. If you’re not moved, cancel your order…then take your pulse. You might be dead.”
- Dave Bautista, known in the WWE as Batista, is a former 6-time WWE/World Heavyweight champion. His last stint with the company was in early 2014 when he joined Triple H and Randy Orton to reform the Evolution for a while before he left to further a burgeoning career in the movies.
Awaiting the release of his upcoming Bond movie ‘Spectre’, Batista sprung a surprise on his fans when he let them know he got married recently. The star, who has been married twice before this, tweeted out the following photo:
- With regards to James Storm appearing at last night’s NXT TakeOver event, the reports coming in indicate that Storm has been in talks with officials about a possible player-coach type of role in WWE NXT.
Storm had been all over WWE rumour mills after he let out subtle hints about his appearance at the live special.
- Randy Orton, who has been on WWE TV for almost 15 years, mostly working on or near the top, has been reportedly been in talks with the WWE over working a limited schedule going forward.
Looks like he would be needing more time off soon, as ‘The Viper’ is set to marry fiancee Kim on November 14th in Las Vegas.
