NXT Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

After raising eyebrows with their twitter feud, Randy Orton finally reacted to his recent back and forth with NXT star Tommaso Ciampa and revealed that he wants to work with him. Recently, before his Backlash ‘Greatest Wrestling Match Ever’ with Edge, Randy took to social media to take some shots at Tommaso.

WWE took everyone by surprise when earlier this year the company went on a firing spree as a part of budget cuts amid Coronavirus crisis. WWE released about 20 employees at one go as a measure to help compensate for the financial losses due to the pandemic. This included wrestlers like Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Rusev, Kurt Angle, and Drake Maverick. However, Drake has managed to make his way back to the wrestling and has been rehired by Tripple H.

Even though the world is currently under lockdown amid the Coronavirus crisis, WWE is not compromising on the action. The company aired its last episode of NXT before diving into its eagerly awaited WrestleMania 36 event.

Before Matt Hardy announced that he had decided to leave WWE after his contract expired on March 1, it was speculated that in an attempt to keep Hardy in the company, WWE even offered to include him in NXT. According to the rumours, Matt was considering renewing his contract with WWE and enter NXT. Now, in his latest interview, Matt admitted that WWE did offer to put him in NXT but the wrestler still turned down the deal.

Rhea Ripley, who is all set to feature in the upcoming WrestleMania 36 event, opened up about her mental health struggles in a candid tweet. The WWE NXT Women’s Champion will enter the ring in the biggest match of her career on the event which is scheduled to take place on April 5. In the soul-baring tweet, the 23-year-old wrestler mentioned that she deals with mental health illness like many others but manages to always stand tall. She also motivated others to fight back.

Matt Hardy’s contract with WWE is about to expire on March 1, 2020, and reportedly, the company is currently discussing and negotiating his future on the platform. While the two parties are trying to reach a deal, earlier this month, WWE seemingly wrote him off with a brutal match with Randy Orton. And since then, there has been no official announcement about the wrestler. However, the rumours are that Matt might renew his contract with WWE and enter NXT.
