Wedneday News Update

WWE

• Seth Rollins commented on social media regarding being pulled from this Saturday’s SummerSlam card: “For anyone who purchased a ticket to #SummerSlam hoping to see me in action, I apologize. I did everything I could over the last 6 months to earn my spot on this show, but some things are out of my control. Thank you for always singing my song. They’ll hear ya someday.
• Triple H later replied to Rollins' tweet, writing "I hear you!"
• WWE tryouts began Wednesday in Nashville and will continue over three days. One name at the tryout that TMZ Sports covered was Talati Polamalu, the nephew of former NFL star Troy Polamalu.
• WWE has video of Liv Morgan receiving her SmackDown Women’s title side plates.
• Today’s episode of The Bump, featuring Jeff Jarrett and Dolph Ziggler.
• Matched added to WWE’s YouTube channel today include Rey & Dominik Mysterio vs. The Street Profits from the December 27, 2021 edition of Raw, Drew McIntyre vs. Madcap Moss from WWE Day 1 2022, and team Liv Morgan vs. Team Becky Lynch ten woman tag team match from the November 29, 2021 edition of Raw.
• Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson surprised a family with a new puppy during a movie screening of DC League of Super Pets.
• Big E was a guest on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour.

AEW/ROH

• Bryan Danielson was a guest on My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox ahead of his return to in-ring action on tonight’s Dynamite.
• Rush spoke to Sports Illustrated ahead of his interim AEW World Championship match tonight with Jon Moxley: “Winning this title, it would be the greatest achievement in my career,” Rush said through a translator. “I am going to leave everything in the ring to get that title.”
• Kenny Omega on Twitter wrote about Miyu Yamashita’s debut on tonight’s Dynamite: "Even with the few visits she’s had overseas she’s already been introduced to how ignorant and pathetic the know-it-all “fans” on social media can be. Ignore them and show everyone just how obvious the difference in skill is. The true supporters are also watching and support you.”
• In an interview with Sportskeeda, Britt Baker expressed interest in facing Paige, who recently left WWE after her contract expired. “I'm a huge fan of Paige. I love her. I love her mom. I've wrestled her mom before actually. But she's such an inspirational female. That girl has gone through it all and she's still, pardon my swearing, but she's such a bad b***h and she has that everything roll off your back energy.”

Other Wrestling

• Chris Van Vliet interviewed Ric Flair ahead of his final match on Sunday.
• Tom Lawlor was interviewed by NJPW’s website ahead of his first G1 block match on Tuesday morning.
• IWC Wrestling announced that John Morrison would not appear at a pre-show meet and greet on Sunday due to an injury preventing him from traveling.
