On Total Divas Sunday night, viewers watched as Jimmy Uso exchanged vows with Naomi Knight. Unlike typical WWE weddings, no one objected and interrupted, no one smashed someone with cake or a steel chair… and stage names were not used. It was Jonathan Fatu marrying Trinity McCray.
Recently, WWE has seemingly had an unprecedented number of real-life weddings concurrently incorporated into the company’s storylines – all through Total Divas. Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella tied the knot the week after WrestleMania and were immediately thrust into the spotlight on Raw upon returning from their honeymoon. And Tyson Kidd and Natalya’s marriage was woven into WWE television, with Nattie breaking away from Great Khali to partner with her husband as he returned from injury.
While reality TV has increased the profile of these married couples, WWE has certainly incorporated real-life marriages into storylines before – to varying degrees of success.

Former multitime WWE tag team champion Charlie Haas announced his retirement following a Ring of Honor show in Asheville, North Carolina last night. Haas was scheduled to face his former partner Shelton Benjamin in a one-on-one match this Saturday in New York City.
Haas after a losing effort to a local talent had the following to say on Twitter:
“Officially retired. No match against @Sheltyb803 nxt week NYC. Time to be a full time dad and husband. I’ve turned my spandex in for scrubs.Thanks to all the fans throughout the years. I love you all. Stay safe and God bless. Wgtt will always be a top Tag Team, forever. ”
Haas began his career in the late 90s on the Northeast independent scene with his late brother Russ in such companies as Czw, Ecwa and Jersey All-Pro before the duo was signed to the WWE developmental territory Heartland Wrestling...

WWE.com has announced that “The Viper” Randy Orton has been suspended for 60 days following his second violation of the WWE Talent Wellness policy. The suspension was effective as of Wednesday and he will now miss the next two months of WWE touring, which includes June’s WWE No Way Out pay-per-view and July’s WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view.
The official WWE website didn’t go into much detail and mentioned his suspension with the following;
Stamford, Conn. – In accordance with its Talent Wellness Program, WWE has suspended Randy Orton for 60 days effective today for his second violation of the company’s policy.
Failing the WWE Talent Wellness policy basically means he was taking a substance he shouldn’t have been, similarly the reason why Rey Mysterio is also currently suspended. WWE superstars are suspended 30 days for their first violation, 60 days for their second and usually the third suspension means they are fired.

Impact wrestling is currently advertising the return of its most exciting tag team the Motorcity Machine Guns. But who are they actually going to wrestle when they return? Team 3D are long gone. Beer Money are feuding with each other. Morgan and Crimson have gone kaput. Ok, there’s the obvious choice of tag team champions Samoa Joe and Magnus but should they really be entered into a top feud right off the bat? This only goes to highlight the distinct lack of depth in tag team wrestling as a whole. Tna once had an amazing tag division that helped set it apart from the new champs every week approach of the WWE, but these days they too have seemingly given up the ghost.
It hasn’t always been like this though. Tag teams were once held with great esteem in the business we love, and the tag titles were...

Before the opening titles we get a recap of last weeks Proving Ground between new comers Caprice Colman and Cedric Alexander against Wrestling’s Greatest Tag Team, which admittedly is well worth watching again, and the post match promo from Dem Boys, the Briscos.
There are some subtle tweaks to the set up they have at the Davis Arena in Louisville, Kentucky which gives Roh a more professional look.
This week’s main event is the American Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) against the House Of Truth (Mike Elgin and Roderick Strong)
This weeks opening match has a tag team debuting. They are known as the Bravado brothers and they look like extras from The Brady Bunch. They face The Young Bucks, formerly known as Generation Me in Tna Wrestling. It’s good to see them back even if they are still dressed in what Alex Shelly once called “Hardy...

This latest episode of Ring Of Honor Wrestling was recorded from Loiusville, Kentucky, and right off the bat we get treated to a little sample of how Roh’s new show is slowly adding to its presentation style. We see commentators Nigel McGuinnes and Kevin Kelly on screen broadcasting together for the first time. It’s a nice touch, giving Roh a little more legitimacy as a contender in the broadcast stakes, and also charmingly reminiscent of Joey Style’s old backstage area in Ecw. There’s even a chain link fence in the background. They tell us that the show’s main event will be Jay Lethal’s first defence of his Television Championship against Mike Bennet. I have to say, its really cool that there is a title match each week, it gives it a real big fight feel every week.

If you still haven't had your fill of the wives of basketball players, hip hop stars, NFL athletes, and mob bosses, you're in luck, as VH1 has picked up Wrestling Wives, a show about three former WWE Divas and wives of current WWE personalities. According to Wrestle Heat, the show is from the people behind Animal Planet's Pit Boss and will follow Sharmell (Sharmell Sullivan-Hoffman, wife of Booker T), Miss Kitty/The Kat (Stacy Carter, wife of Kizarny), and Jackie Gayda-Haas (wife of Charlie Haas).
VH1 has made a major transformation since their ratings glory days in the mid 2000s. Once the home of trashy-awesome entertainment like Flavor of Love and Rock of Love, the network is now home to a mix of positive-leaning self-improvement shows (Tough Love), Real Housewives-ish shows (Basketball Wives), and competition shows (Wedding Wars).
Seeing the curtain lifted on the WWE should be pretty entertaining,...
