LUCHA UNDERGROUND NOT RENEWED FOR A SEASON FIVE Sad news comes from the Los Angelos Lucha Libre/Telenova based independent company as El Ray Network, the hosting network of Lucha Underground, have chosen not to renew for a Season Five. With Season Four finishing filming in March, it appears that a lot of prominent LU talent have made commitments to other companies, with LU slowly losing starpower. As such, El Ray has chosen not to renew for a new season. Whether or not that another network strikes for a new season, it's clear that no matter what, Lucha Underground will not remain the same. |
WRESTLEMANIA 34 OVERALL SUCCESS Even with a larger card and a slight tendency to drag, the WWE Universe were excited when it came to the Biggest Show Of The Year, with every title changing hands.

The biggest congratulations goes to the NEW Universal Champion however, as Braun Strowman made his way into the match following a pinfall victory over Roman Reigns in what came out to be a classic TV Match. |

POTENTIAL NXT CALL-UPS With the success of Takeover: New Orleans as well, we may have said good-bye to some of NXT's favorites. One notable name is Andrade 'Cien' Almas, who lost his NXT Championship to Aleister Black. With the common belief of wrestlers who lost their titles coming up, Andrade could be making big waves as well. Next to this, it appears the Authors of Pain are also done with NXT, as during the commercial break, Paul Ellering cut a short promo thanking the NXT Universe. The addition of the AOP to the main roster could lead to some major implications for which ever tag division they land on! |
