Hey all!

So, as a fan of WWE and NXT (watched a little bit at the beginning of AEW) - I didn't watch wrestling something like 4-5 Months. 

Now, with all the situation outside, I have a lot of time to complete everything I've missed.

WWE - Where is Reigns? Bryan? Zayn?
NXT - Where is Ciampa? Who is Killer Kross? How talent like Austin Theory appears at "Main Event" show?
What really and mainly happend in those months that I need to know about?

I would be happy and appriciate if you could sort things our for me.

Thank you!

Roman passed up his Mania match with Goldberg (where he likely would have become Universal champ again) due to CoVid concerns. Hasn't been in Orlando PC (where they've been doing all shows besides NXT) since.

Zayn also chose to go home during this after retaining the IC Championship at Wrestlemania. His title was vacated, causing a lot of accusations of corporate retaliation (good times...).

Bryan actually participated in the subsequent IC Tournament, losing in the Finals. He's apparently been absent since a rash of positive CoVid tests in WWE a few weeks ago. Notably, he was in close contact to Renee Young (who soon after tested positive independent from WWE) during his last televised appearance.

Ciampa, he hasn't been around since losing at NXT TakeOver: In Your House to Cross in pretty quick fashion. He recently put out a social media post talking about the highs and lows of pro wrestling and how creative didn't have anything for him at the moment.

Austin Theory was brought up to the main roster unexpectedly at Wrestlemania, replacing Angel Garza's original tag partner Andrade. He was quickly kicked out of the group upon Andrade's return and found a new place as a disciple of Seth Rollins.


Not sure of your interest in these other notes I'll add to as I think them up:

Becky Lynch relinquished her Raw Women's title in May after the Money in the Bank PPV, revealing she was expecting. Asuka got the title immediately, as she had won the women's MITB Match.

Gronk is no longer a thing in WWE, joining Brady on the Tampa NFL team.

Edge suffered a torn triceps during the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" taping at Backlash in June against Orton. He will be out for 4-8 months.

Vince booted Paul Heyman from his "head of creative" position on Raw, cutting his paycheck down to just being an on-screen mouthpiece for Brock Lesnar (and we don't know when we'll see either again). Bruce Pritchard is now in charge of both Raw and Smackdown.

Jeff Hardy was framed for a DUI and running down Elias, took a p*ss test on national tv and then threw it into Sheamus's face.

Otis and Mandy Rose are a thing. Also, Otis is the men's MITB briefcase holder. I believe they've also been absent in the past few weeks.

Forgotten Sons got called up and were on a fast track to get an opportunity for the SD Tag Titles. Then Ryker did some things, now that's over.

Sounds like you know who Karrion Kross is since you referred to him by his TNA name 😉

[FLUX '97]

Randy Orton became a woke king and subsequently became one of the best workers in wrestling.
Karrion Kross is basically this intelligent psychopath who throws people around and has a very hot possibly devil worshipping manager who is his shoot girlfriend.
Austin Theory got called up for 'Mania but might've been pulled off TV after he was exposed in the #SpeakingOut movement.
Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio are about to have a match where you win by pulling out the other person's eye.
For some reason, Dolph Ziggler is still here.
Keith Lee is now both NXT and North American Champion. He is very good.
Akira Tozawa's a ninja now. He also has a very tall African-American ninja friend.
Bobby Lashley said "no more white woman" and divorced Lana, he's now being managed by MVP.
Lot of others like Slater, The Club, Rusev got released due to COVID budget cuts.
NXT UK was full of sex pests and should probably be nuked from orbit. Velveteen Dream is also a sex pest and should probably be nuked from orbit.
Santos Escobar aka El Hijo del Fantasma is the future of WWE.

Becky's pregnant. #ThanksSeth
Asuka's champ now.
Charlotte's gone until next year.
For some reason, Natalya is still here.
Bayley and friend have morphed into some of the genuinely most entertaining people on the product.
Io is NXT Women's Champion. Tegan Nox is her #1 Contender.
NXT's Women's division is still GOAT-tier.

A lot of talent is MIA at the moment. Roman & Sami are just several of many.

Ciampa is ready to go, just waiting for something to do I hear.

Karrion/Killer Kross is doing well so far in NXT. He's not ready to be champion though, so hopefully they don't rush it.

Drew McIntyre has been killing it as the last few months.

Asuka too.

MVP is contender for MVP of the corona-era. He's currently recruiting Cedric which could be fantastic.

Rollins & Orton are both doing the best work in their careers.

Lee is NXT & North American champion.

Demos only count on Thursday.

Lumis & Escobar are two highlights of NXT TV.

Rey & Rollins are going to try to make each other lose an eye. That's dumb.

Sheamus & Hardy are feuding and some like it some do not.

Riddle is off to a good start.

AJ is on SD now and new IC champion.

We got a new US title. It's cool but there's room for improvement.

Sonya Deville has been killing it lately with her promos.

Bray vs Braun will be in a swamp horror setting. Might be cool.

That's all I got at the moment.

I would add UE has been great in the little skits they been doing especially Roddy who would've known the guy is this funny

[RuthlessFigs]

We had a Karaoke Contest last Friday!

WWE- Reigns is staying home to avoid the virus due to having newborns and leukemia. Bryan has been around the whole time, except these last couple weeks after the virus hit reportedly 30-40 people at the performance center (though there's no evidence that Bryan got it himself). Zayn decided to stay home after Mania to be as safe as possible, and as a result was stripped of the IC Title.

NXT- Ciampa is currently M.I.A. after being destroyed by Kross at the last Takeover event. Killer Kross is Karrion Kross, so not really sure why you're asking who he is if you know the name he used in TNA. But yeah, he's from TNA and people really like him (personally I don't). Austin Theory was brought up to Raw to compete at WresteMania teaming with Angel Garza due to an injury Andrade suffered. They have kept him on Raw ever since and joined Seth Rollins' group along with Murphy.
