I’m Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Tuesday, February 9, 2021..

A special welcome to those of you listening on OccupyProWrestling.com. If you want to bring our updates to your website...email us: [email protected].

Results from last night’s Raw are straight ahead in this update but first…

Authorities in Tampa, Florida are taking a hard look at how things were handled for the Super Bowl...and perhaps what needs to be different in just over two months...when WWE moves in for WrestleMania.

The effectiveness of COVID-19 precautions at Raymond James Stadium and other NFL events will not be fully known for at least a couple weeks.

But police and other officials are disappointed by what they saw AFTER the game. Victory celebrations saw many revelers maskless...and ignoring social distancing measures.

Tampa’s police chief told WUSF Public Media...some businesses could see their liquor licenses suspended.

Despite all that, Tampa’s mayor promised Monday that plans for a “safe” public celebration for the Buccaneers will be announced within the next couple days.

Meanwhile, independent promotions started to roll out their Mania week plans on Monday.

GCW will hold The Collective - April 8, 9 and 10th. It says all events will be held outdoors with numerous COVID-19 safety protocols.

IWTV is running its “Showcase Of The Independents” over those same three nights.

It seems like WWE is willing to open its doors to just about any music artist who wants in.

Bad Bunny was back on Raw last night - helping Damien Priest score a win over Angel Garza - by outsmarting Garza’s new allies, The Miz and John Morrison.

Amid all this, rapper and actor Bow Wow has been tweeting about HIS own interest in getting inside a WWE ring.

A couple other notes from that Forbes article - Khan said WWE is developing a number of animated properties to target younger viewers - some aiming for kids as young as 2 years old. Khan said WWE is also reexamining its gaming strategy.

THREE title matches are now set for WWE’s Elimination Chamber show.

The Chamber match itself will see Drew McIntyre defending the WWE Championship against Randy Orton, Sheamus, AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy and The Miz.

McIntyre and Orton were in the main event of last night’s Raw. Sheamus showed up to ruin the match - and got a Claymore for his troubles.

In another matchup of Chamber opponents last night - AJ Styles submitted Jeff Hardy.

Royal Rumble winner Edge said last night he will not decide on his Mania title shot until after the Chamber.

Lacey Evans “earned” herself a shot at Asuka’s RAW Women’s Championship...with a DQ win over Charlotte Flair. And that title match is now set for the Chamber.

Rumble winner Bianca Belair was on Raw to let Asuka know she could be next...if Asuka gets through Evans.

The third title match announced for Elimination Chamber is a triple threat for the U.S. Title. Bobby Lashley defending against Keith Lee and Riddle.

Lee returned to Raw last night with a win over Riddle. After the match, Lashley laid waste to both guys.

Lana beat Nia Jax in a tables match. The other half of the #1 contenders for the women’s tag titles Naomi then beat Shayna Baszler.

The New Day beat T-Bar and Slapjack. But Xavier Woods’ pursuit of a match against Reckoning drags on.

(STINGER: Impact)

A tag title match set for tonight’s Impact Wrestling - the Good Brothers defending against James Storm and Chris Sabin.

Those same titles will be defended against AEW’s Private Party at the Impact Plus Exclusive “No Surrender” show on Saturday.

(STINGER: AEW)

AEW announcing Monday the first match in its Women’s World Championship Eliminator Tournament will happen on Wednesday’s Dynamite - It’ll be LEGIT Leyla Hirsch vs. Thunder Rosa.

Also added to Dynamite - Pac vs. Ryan Nemeth.

Two wrestlers on the rise securing their places in AEW. Monday it was announced that Aaron Solow and Nick Comoroto have joined the Nightmare Family.

Both men are in action on tonight’s AEW Dark. Solow is tagging with Lee Johnson against SCU.

Tonight’s Dark also has Marko Stunt in action - less than a week after a video on Dynamite showed him being ABDUCTED by FTR.

(STINGER: ROH)

Ring Of Honor is releasing a new match today. It’ll be the ROH debut of Sledge, taking on O’Shay Edwards. That’s part of Ring Of Honor’s “Week By Week” YouTube show, which drops at 1PM.

(STINGER: New Japan)

The first of TWO major “New Beginning” shows for New Japan is coming up on Wednesday.

Two title matches at the top of the card: IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi defending against SHO.

Dangerous Takkers going after the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Titles - and Taichi’s stolen “Iron Finger Of Doom” - both currently being held by the Guerrillas of Destiny.

I’m Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Monday, February 8, 2021.

This update is brought to you by IndyWrestling.us.

Super Bowl 55 drawing extra attention from the pro wrestling world - not just because former 24/7 Champion Rob Gronkowski is part of the winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Last night’s big game at Raymond James Stadium provided some clues about what to expect when WrestleMania is held in that same stadium...coming up in April.

More than 20,000 fans in attendance last night - That included 7,500 vaccinated healthcare workers. Some 30,000 cardboard cutouts were used to fill some of the empty seats.

During its investor call last week, WWE said information on WrestleMania ticket availability and safety protocols is forthcoming.

Speaking of the 24/7 Title...it changed hands during the Super Bowl weekend festivities. Former Super Bowl champ and Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie pinned R-Truth during a Celebrity Flag Football Game. Truth, of course, got his baby back not long after that - pinning Flutie to reclaim the title.

Randy Orton is back in the main event on tonight’s Raw - battling WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.

Tonight’s Raw is also promising a face-to-face confrontation between Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans.

Shaul Guerrero, the eldest daughter of hall of famer Eddie Guerrero, is stepping away from pro wrestling. She tweeted Sunday, “After a very scary mental illness crisis I am no longer advised by loved ones and professionals to participate in high stress events at this time.”

(STINGER: New Japan)

New Japan is holding two big “New Beginning” shows later this week - but first, one last “Road To” show this morning at Korakuen Hall.

The main event previews upcoming title matches...with IWGP double champion Kota Ibushi and SHO vs. SANADA and junior heavyweight champ Hiromu Takahashi.

Jay White is on this morning’s card - in a tag match opposite Hirooki Goto. New Japan says Goto was reprimanded for coming over the guardrail from his commentary position to attack White during the “Road To” show last Wednesday.

The “Forbidden Door” is open - even it’s only cracked. New Japan’s Rocky Romero shed some light on the plan going forward for New Japan, AEW and Impact Wrestling.

(Rocky On Forbidden Door)

Romero speaking on the Wrestling Perspective podcast.

Pro-Wrestling NOAH forced to make some last-minute changes to Friday’s big Back To Budokan card.

Masao Inoue is out due to COVID-19 test that revealed a possible infection. The tag match he was involved in has now been scrapped. It’ll be replaced by a singles match between Akitoshi Saito and Kinya Okada.

Junta Miyawaki is sidelined with appendicitis. Daiki Inaba will take his place in a 6-man tag on the show.

I’m Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Wednesday, February 3, 2021.

This update is sponsored by the Wrestling Mayhem Show.

Results from Tuesday’s New Japan show, Impact Wrestling and AEW Dark are straight ahead in this update but first…

(STINGER: WWE)

WWE has reportedly RELEASED Lars Sullivan.

PWInsider says Sullivan was let go last month, but WWE did not confirm the move until Tuesday.

WWE signed Sullivan back in 2013. He made his TV debut on NXT in 2017. He was called up to the main roster the following year - but his time with WWE after that was full of starts and stops...and revelations of offensive comments and behavior before he was signed.

Sullivan ended up having only FIVE matches on WWE’s main roster. His final one was last October.

There’s been no comment from Sullivan.

Royal Rumble winner Edge is keeping busy this week. He’ll appear on tonight’s NXT.

THREE matches in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournaments are also set for tonight’s NXT.

Just days after he welcomed his first child, Joaquin Wilde teams with Raul Mendoza to take on Lucha House Party. Another quarterfinal will see Adam Cole & Roderick Strong vs. Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher.

On the women’s side - Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai face Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter.

Santos Escobar is set to defend HIS cruiserweight title against Curt Stallion.

Are you ready for Xavier Woods vs. Reckoning? Woods put out the challenge on Monday’s Raw Talk. He’s 2-2 against Retribution members and he says this is the way to settle the “Best of 5” series.

Reckoning said she would accept the challenge...and Adam Pearce added more fuel to the fire by tweeting Tuesday he’d “run it up the flagpole”.

(STINGER: AEW)

AEW Dynamite is LIVE tonight with its Beach Break special.

There’s a late change...and a late addition to the card.

FTR is OUT of the tag team battle royal. AEW said it’s due to their conduct during and after last Wednesday’s Jungle Boy vs. Dax Harwood match.

They’ll be replaced by John Silver and Alex Reynolds.

The battle royal will decide who gets a shot at the Young Bucks’ tag titles at the Revolution pay per view. Here’s the twist - the Bucks are in the battle royal too, and if they win they get to pick their opponent.

Also added to tonight’s show - Matt Hardy and Hangman Page vs. Chaos Project.

The main event is a 6-man tag - Kenny Omega and the Good Brothers vs. Jon Moxley, Rey Fenix and Pac.

Dr. Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa.

A rematch from last week - Lance Archer and Eddie Kingston - in a lumberjack match.

Plus, the long-awaited wedding of Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford.

On last night’s Dark…

Nick Comoroto got his first win in AEW...getting the pin - as he, Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall beat M’Badu and Terrence & Terrell Hughes.

Leyla Hirsch submitted Katalina Perez.

(STINGER: Impact)

A couple familiar faces from Impact Wrestling’s past returned last night.

Mahabali Shera helped Rohit Raju beat X-Division champ TJP in a non-title match. Those two now set to meet again with the belt on the line at the Impact Plus exclusive No Surrender show on February 13th.

ODB is also back in impact. She came to the rescue of Jordynne Grace and Jazz...during a post-match attack by Knocksout Champ Deonna Purrazo, Kimber Lee and Susan. Grace had just beaten Susan.

The tag team main event saw Impact Champ Rich Swann pinned by Moose...after miscommunication between Swann and his challenger at No Surrender, Tommy Dreamer. Chris Bey was on the winning side with Moose.

Ken Shamrock is suspended indefinitely for his post-show attack last week on referees, security and Sami Callihan.

(STINGER: ROH)

Ring Of Honor presents a Final Battle rematch tonight...on its YouTube channel. It’s Brian Johnson vs. Danhausen - premiering at 7PM.

Ring Of Honor’s latest re-signing is The Bouncers. Tuesday’s announcement comes just as a rift may be forming in that team...over the Beer City Bruiser’s post-match attack on Matt Taven and Mike Bennett on this past weekend’s ROH TV.

(STINGER: New Japan)

A new title match added to New Japan’s “New Beginning” show on February 11th. Jay White and the Guerrillas of Destiny will challenge for the NEVER 6-man titles held by Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI.

At Tuesday’s “Road To” show, a 10-man elimination tag ended with Jay White beating up YOSHI-HASHI so badly, Goto threw in the towel.

New Japan has another “Road To” show this morning...with White, EVIL and Yujiro Yakahashi facing Kazuchika Okada, Toru Yano and Ishii.
