WWE Expecting Lawsuits Over The Bill DeMott Controversy, DeMott Turns Down Interview

Source: F4WOnline

It’s expected that former WWE NXT head trainer Bill DeMott received a significant severance package on his way out of the company.

WWE is reportedly expecting lawsuits to arise out of the DeMott controversies. They were careful to clearly admit no wrong-doing in their statements.

There was a feeling that some WWE employees were aware of the complaints but didn’t expect so many people to come forward because usually everyone aims to return to WWE one day as it’s their dream. It was also said that while they were under contract to WWE, some of the talents that have been speaking out now were asked about the allegations and at the time, they said the stories were not true.

After announcing his resignation and then thanking supporters on Twitter last week, former WWE NXT head trainer Bill DeMott has been somewhat active on the social media site. He wished NXT trainer Robby Brookside Happy Birthday this week and congratulated former WWE developmental talent & TNA Knockout Taylor Wilde on becoming a firefighter.

He re-tweeted a fan comment that said, “Keep your head up. Not everyone thinks the worst of you.” DeMott also turned down an interview request from NBC Orlando reporter Matt Grant. Below is their exchange:

Matt Grant: @BillDeMott I’m a reporter with WESH 2 (NBC) in Orlando. Any comment/interview re: #NXT allegations? Email: mjgrant@hearst.com

Bill DeMott: @MattGrantWESH thanks, not right now

DeMott also tweeted the following today:

Bill DeMott: I have got it figured out, IF you write it is must be the truth! And IF you can add or comment it must make it more truthful!

Update On The WWE Contract Negotiations Between Vince McMahon And Brock Lesnar

0

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Regarding the contract issues that came up between Vince McMahon and WWE World Heavyweight Champion two weeks ago at RAW, nothing has changed. Lesnar was at this week’s RAW and apparently they were still unable to resolve the issues.

The situation is described as one where neither Lesnar or McMahon wants to budge from their current position on Lesnar’s next deal with the company. To finalize the deal, one of them or possibly both of them, will likely have to budge on the terms they’re sticking to for now. Both Vince and Brock are aware of this and there is said to be no pressure on Lesnar to be the first one to budge right now.

Opening packages roll and then we get right into it. Looks like the main attraction tonight will be Alex Riley vs. CJ Parker. Book it!

Enzo and Big Cass hit the ring with mics in hand and announce that they’re on the road to grabbing the NXT tag titles. First order of business: A bout with the Lucha Dragons.

#1 Contenders’ Match: Lucha Dragons vs. Enzo and Big Cass

Enzo has the crowd pulling for him as Kalisto tosses him and looks for some appreciation of his own. He gets some boos for his effort. Sin Cara tags in and goes to work, leveling Enzo with a big chop. Enzo gets the luchador into the corner and tags Cass. After a double-team, Cass covers for a near fall. Enzo comes back in and maintains control for a decent stretch. Kalisto makes it back in and gains control but he can’t put Enzo away. Sin Cara takes a shot as well and Enzo ends up outside. Cass follows him for a pep talk and the Dragons hit them with a double dive. Back inside, the Dragons try for a double-team. Cass breaks it up, drags Enzo to the corner and then steps out just long enough to hit a blind tag. He clocks Kalisto, tags Enzo back in and drops him on to the luchador for the cover and three-count.
Result: Enzo and Big Cass defeat the Lucha Dragons via pinfall.

NXT runs video packages for Alex Riley and Kevin Owens and then we get back to in-ring action…

Carmella hits the ramp with a mic and introduces herself. She’s taking on Alexa Bliss.

Alexa Bliss vs. Carmella

Carmella teases Alex a little before the fur starts a-flyin’. Bliss kicks out of a head scissors and both ladies return to a vertical base. Bliss gets Carmella down and cranks in an arm bar before turning it into a cover for a near fall. After some back and forth, Carmella chokes Bliss on the ropes and goes for a pinfall but Alexa kicks out. Carmella keeps the heat on but can’t seal the deal. She follows Bliss around delivering kick after kick until Alexa fights back and finally puts Carmella away with her “Sparkle Splash.”
Result: Alexa Bliss defeats Carmella via pinfall.

Alex Riley cuts a promo in the locker room and shoes some real fire. This angle could really take him places.

Alex Riley vs. CJ Parker

CJ Parker comes out and tries to make a statement but this is A-Ry’s moment. He emerges to a big reaction and he’s ready to rumble.

A-Ry walks to the middle as Parker hangs back. They lock up and Parker gets on top with some grappling. Riley makes it up and tries to put CJ on the ropes. Parker fires back but Riley starts to get control, requiring CJ to up his game. He works Riley over, putting him on the mat and then working him over on the ropes. Riley gets back into it by flipping Parker and then following with a monster clothesline. It’s all Riley from there as he hits a neckbreaker and a blockbuster, earning the three-count.
Result: Alex Riley defeats CJ Parker via pinfall.

After the bell, Kevin Owens steps out and says he’ll put an end to Riley’s in-ring career and from there he’s going to take care of Finn Balor.

Hideo Itami vs. Tyler BreezeBefore they can lock up, breeze slips outside to get his bearings. Back inside… Well, he slides out again. Breeze comes back in and puts some decent offense together in the corner but Hideo catches him off the ropes. Breeze bails again and Itami makes contact outside with a big clothesline. He tries to go up top and Tyler knocks him from his perch, regaining control of the match. He dominates Itami, putting him down on the canvas for a slow grind of mat work.

Breeze tries to maintain the direction of things but Hideo overpowers him and comes back in a big way. Breeze fires back and levels Itami with a boot to the head. Tyler pulls him to the turnbuckle and tries to do more damage but Itami delivers a kick, disabling his opponent for long enough to tip the scales. The crowd calls for the GTS as Itami gets all over Breeze. He misses with a dropkick and Tyler counters, knocking Itami cold for the pinfall.

Result: Tyler Breeze defeats Hideo Itami via pinfall.

Tyler grabs his fluffy selfie stick and departs as the show fades to black.

Rey Mysterio Talks About His WWE Departure, Why He Left, His Physical Condition, Future In Wrestling

0

Rey Mysterio appeared on Wrestling Observer Live this afternoon to discuss his post-WWE career and upcoming schedule.

Right off the bat Mysterio was asked about his health and his decision to leave the WWE. He responded by saying the recent years weren’t as grueling as the early ones. Granted, he hadn’t performed nearly as much in the past several years.

“I think the most taxing years I had were the beginning years. We had Raw and Smackdown guys and getting big numbers off of that. We were working 5 days a week,” Mysterio said

Mysterio also spoke about his decision to leave the company, and being matched up with Sin Cara in a tag team. He saw this as the writing on the wall, and a good indicator that he should finish up with the company.

“After my last surgery in 2011, I came back at the end in 2012. I felt like I rushed myself. I went back on the shelf, came back and they put me with Sin Cara, and I felt like I wasn’t going anywhere. I was being thrown in to just have tag matches, there was no direction for Rey Mysterio,” he said. “My contract was coming to the end and I decided to not re-sign. I wanted to take time off to spend time with my family and go from there.”

Mysterio said he doesn’t expect to go a full schedule, despite thinking he could do it. He also was candid about the shape of his knee and compared himself to Kevin Nash, who had multiple knee surgeries and wrestled at an old age. He also spoke about the possibilies of joining Lucha Underground and his goals.

“If I take the next step and go to Lucha Underground, I want to take Lucha Libre global,” Mysterio said. “My goal is to always make it bigger.”

Mysterio said that he’ll be at WaleMania on March 26, one of his first scheduled appearances since leaving WWE. Konnan and Dave Meltzer will both also be at the event.
