Lawful Metal Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Piper has to be in this again. She was my favorite in the whole tournament. Also, let's get Sexy Star in it, and have her squashed in the first round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 At the end of the Io Shirai story in the new WON this was put Quote Because of WWE getting more aggressive in looking for new women’s wrestlers, Stardom is taking a hit. This past week Bea Priestly canceled her July through September dates. In her case, she said she and boyfriend Will Ospreay are looking for a home in New Zealand. That coincides with Ospreay looking at getting work in Australia and New Zealand for much of the summer. Ospreay has talked about his goal of trying to elevate wrestling in Australia and New Zealand to U.K. levels. However, Xia Brookside canceled her summer tour after previously asking for more dates. The belief is she’s either going to WWE or the Mae Young Classic, or both because she told the promotion she can’t give a reason for canceling, past saying she has a big opportunity this summer, which sounded like a code for WWE. WWE has made it clear they don’t want people telling anyone anything about coming in. Her father, Robbie Brookside, is a WWE trainer. Deonna Purrazzo is another name on that list, since she just cut short her next planned Stardom tour and she looks to be NXT bound, whether it be the next start date or for the Mae Young Classic and after.

JonnyLaw Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 According to SCS, Purrazzo has signed with NXT. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 PWI has confirmed that Purrazzo has signed and filled in the detail I was wondering about. Her deal with ROH allowed her to opt out after 6 months which is obviously what she did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian Rudo Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I'm guessing Xia is only in for the tournament. Doubt they would break their 21 and over rule for her (it's not like she's even the best in her age bracket in the UK), even with Robbie there, and she can use her appearance to boost her career. Bea is an open question. 3 months to look for a house screams bullshit, but then there's her WOS appearance and Ospreay's NJPW contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Awesome news for Deonna, great talent. Hope she goes far in the MYC if she's in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Britt Baker tweeted yesterday that she’s moving from Pittsburgh to Orlando. Obviously that may have nothing to do with WWE/NXT/MYC (Adam Cole I assume lives there, other Indy opportunities, etc.) but just throwing that out there.

nofuture Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 She did just recently graduate dental school so I think it's probably to live with Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the 21 and over rule was for the main roster, not to be signed by WWE. So Xia could conceivably be signed, with the understanding she isn't even considered for a promotion until she turns 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 What health issues did Shotzi Blackheart have that would cause the WWE to probably pass on her? The WWE should just form a partnership with Stardom if they're gonna raid their roster. Do what they do with ICW and Progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Just for clarification - Shotzi was supposed to be on Tough Enough but didn't get cleared medically (Rudo is correct that it was a heart issue) So she was on their radar at least back in 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the "on the road" thing will be a question, but as far as just signing someone under 21, Rhea Ripley is proof that WWE will still sign U-21s, for better or worse there (and Ripley was in the first MYC and presumably will also be in the second, but hasn't made NXT regular rotation since then.) 3 hours ago, RIPPA said: Just for clarification - Shotzi was supposed to be on Tough Enough but didn't get cleared medically (Rudo is correct that it was a heart issue) So she was on their radar at least back in 2015 That at least is a positive sign for Shotzi, since Io Shirai apparently also had a heart issue last year, but she's been signed already.

Jamal Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Would love to see Madison Eagles in one of the "vet spots". She and Deonna had a good series of matches against one another in Shimmer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she officially reported as a 20 year old, and since she's an international competitor (and international competitors signing takes far longer than domestic performers), it was likely the signing things could have been in place while she was 19, even.

Like I said earlier, the "official" ban is for under 21s going on the road, not signing. Her reporting to the PC a few months before her birthday in no way violates that, and she still hasn't really been on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
