1. Rey Mysterio is the first inductee into the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame
WWE announced during Friday Night SmackDown Rey Mysterio would be the first inductee in their 2023 Hall of Fame Class.
He transformed professional wrestling internationally, helping pioneer a new wave of lucha -libre that uplifted future stars. Mysterio is considerably the best-masked wrestler to do it. This 2-time WWE World Heavyweight, Intercontinental & 4-time Tag Team Champion has accomplished so much during his legendary career. Mysterio also was a WCW Cruiserweight Champion for 5-times. Fans marveled at the high-flyer’s innovative in-ring presentation & it continues. His hometown is San Diego, California & he’s more than just a great junior heavyweight.

2. FTR Returns
One of professional wrestling’s greatest tag teams re-emerged last Sunday/ March 5, at AEW Revolution. FTR ( Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) made their surprising & anticipated All-Elite Wrestling return. Rumors began regarding their contract status. They attacked The Gunns after Austin & Colten retained the AEW Tag Titles.
PWInsider reported that FTR’s absence was part of a storyline. Several believe the duo has long-term deals with AEW. Spectators felt this comeback was temporary. Loyal fans can rest easy.
Paraphrased/ Harwood stated: “That’s my news; they’re going to be away for a little while. I’m not sure exactly how long we’ll be away. It may be up until their contract ends. I don’t know yet; the contract is up in April. I’m not sure about the exact date-our gimmick attorney would know that. But it will be somewhere at the beginning of April. “
3. Jey finally turns on Sami
Jey Uso revealed where his adherence was.
Since last year Sami Zayn’s involvement added this unique dimension to “ The Bloodline!!! “ When finally handed an ultimatum circa Royal Rumble (2023). His honorary status soon became revoked following a betrayal of Roman Reigns.
After weeks of assembling more intricacies between Jey & Sami, teasing which side Jey Uso would choose. We received our answer on Monday, March 6th, edition of Raw. Sami saved Kevin Owens after The Bloodline attacked KO following his match opposite Solo Sikoa & it ended in a DQ.
Jey appeared & joined Zayn, or we thought Jey, super-kicked Sami. He informed Zayn of his family’s choice. On SmackDown, Jey said, He did it for his brother Jimmy to protect him from Reigns’ punishment & because Sami proved selfish. To close that same program, Sami & Cody Rhodes attacked The Usos.
Historically wrestling in its purest form furnishes soap-opera-type aspects by making viewers emotionally invested. Let’s say this represents the entertainment value side of cinematically approaching layered stories that go beyond matches & segments. One acknowledges a well-crafted story arc filled with significant twists & turns.
4. What’s next for MJF
MJF ( Maxwell Jacob Friedman) successfully defended the AEW Championship against one of the profession’s strategically gifted competitors in “ The American Dragon” -Bryan Danielson.
MJF endured a brutal one-hour Iron Man Match at AEW Revolution. The brass, intelligent young star elevates the company as it relates to everything he contributes. From promos and in-ring capacity, any company would be fortunate enough to have an MJF on its roster. He personifies believability.
So what is next for the champ?
Some notable superstars are not being used on TV currently.
MJF opens up Dynamite & claims there’s nobody left for me to defeat in AEW. I’ve conquered them all. Use Mark Henry or Paul Wight as an official. One of them notifies the Champion. Maxwell and Tony Khan created a special tournament to determine a new No. 1 Contender over the next month on Dynamite. Kenny Omega versus Swerve Strickland. Adam Cole versus Andrade. Miro against Samoa Joe,
A number one contender’s Triple Threat Match-Strickland vs. Andrade vs. Miro
Miro wins & challenges MJF at their next PPV.
After Miro valiantly tries to defeat MJF, Friedman is better that night.
Suddenly we hear CM Punk’s music. He emerges & confronts MJF setting up another feud but wait, Danielson is here. He confronts MJF.
5. Ruby Soho turns on Jaime Hayter & Britt Baker
Ruby Soho shocked wrestling fans by turning on AEW Women’s Champion /Jamie Hayter & Dr. Britt Baker circa last week’s AEW Revolution PPV. Hayter defended against both Saraya & Ruby Soho. Ruby got rolled up by Hayter & kicked Jaime, then aligned with Saraya & Toni Storm.
She insulted them after she used spray paint on her ex-allies. Ruby exited with Saraya & Storm.
On March 8th’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Soho explained herself & joined the ex-WWE stars because Tony Khan, the fans, & AEW originals are entitled. They don’t appreciate their efforts to build up the AEWs women’s division.
