2019-02-20 19:57:42 +0000 UTC View PostTye Dillinger release
As he mentioned on Twitter tonight, Tye Dillinger asked for his release. Details are scarce at the moment, but several names on the Smackdown side of things said that they weren't surprised by the move considering Dillinger had trouble getting on television and about ten new names were brought up to television. We'll have mor...

I'm told from backstage at Smackdown Tommaso Ciampa says he is fine, and the same with Sheamus. You may remember that Sheamus has admittedly battled stenosis.

Fightful Select has learned that after several weeks being off of WWE Smackdown, Women's Champion Asuka will be on tonight's show. Although Asuka hasn't been on television, she's remained very busy, still wrestling nine live event matches over the last several weeks. She's been paired with Charlotte Flair on those shows, outs...
2019-02-19 21:12:22 +0000 UTC View PostNotes on NXT Callups
We just got word that members of the Smackdown roster had no idea about the several NXT callups tonight, and there was no discussion of it backstage at last night's Elimination Chamber PPV. There were also a number of people within NXT who didn't know this would be happening before today, as well.
2019-02-19 02:10:30 +0000 UTC View PostWWE Hall Of Fame note
Another note on the WWE Hall of Fame this year, WWE has made attendance mandatory for the duration of the show. This has frustrated some talent that we spoke to, as they have an early morning for WrestleMania the following day. Vince McMahon wasn't happy about the cuts to his talent last year during induction speeches that sa...
2019-02-18 17:09:25 +0000 UTC View PostRumor Killer: Carmella/Naomi punishment
I was told by several WWE sources that Carmella and Naomi's quick elimination at Elimination Chamber was not a "punishment" as being speculated on other outlets. Despite the issues both faced in the past week, it was said to have no real bearing on them.
2019-02-18 16:20:32 +0000 UTC View PostD-X Hall of Fame
Fightful has been told that advertising has been submitted featuring an announcement of D-Generation X for the 2019 Hall of Fame. The induction group includes Chyna, Triple H, X-Pac, Shawn Michaels, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg. I've reached out to WWE for confirmation

- After the main event switch, there was a mad rush to get ready for the open of the show. Rehearsals, which also took place last night, were also being gone over right before doors opened

I was just told by the same source I spoke to earlier that the MEN'S Chamber match will go on last instead of the women's. The change came around 3:45 PM EST
It's always possible that WWE is trying to fish out one of my sources, but the word was that Vince McMahon personally wanted the men's match on last as he felt the...

It was mentioned today by Dave Meltzer that Ric Flair's Starrcast announcement was held off until Charlotte Flair was added to the WrestleMania 35 main event for fear she'd be pulled otherwise. Conrad Thompson has since shut this rumor down, saying "This isn't true. We're announcing major names every day this week. We named t...

I'm told former TNA star Monty Brown was a big hit at the Saginaw, Michigan live event that he was backstage at this weekend. Despite the huge influx of TNA talent that has been signed to WWE in recent years, there actually weren't a lot of people that he'd worked with that were at the event and on the card Sunday. Instead, a...
