00:00An ex-WWE star sent back to jail.

00:02An update on Brock Lesnar's possible WWE return.

00:06WWE 2K25 modes revealed.

00:09And more!

00:10I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:20Buff Bagwell was one of the more infamous characters in WCW, joining the New World Order,

00:25wearing a big fluffy hat, and once wrestling for his own mum Judy Bagwell on a pole.

00:31And in 2001, he became even more notorious in WWE.

00:36Because as legend has it, Vince McMahon was all ready to relaunch WCW as its own brand

00:42under the WWE banner.

00:44But he saw Bagwell vs Booker T wrestle on Raw and found it so boring, he scrapped the

00:48entire project.

00:49I actually worked with him on a TV taping back in the early 2010s, and he was a really

00:53nice, humble guy.

00:55In August 2020, though, he was involved in a car crash.

01:00According to Cobb County Police, he had been driving impaired due to prescription medication.

01:04Buff has now posted a video on his YouTube channel entitled I'm Going Back to Jail

01:09Today.

01:10In the pre-recorded video, Buff says he's two and a half years sober, but he's heading

01:14to jail for three days from January 27th.

01:17He says this is because he's in a very strong, strict rehabilitation program, and that he

01:22got a recent sanction because he didn't document an out-of-state trip properly.

01:26For some, getting a sanction could mean a fine, or doing community service, but under

01:31his program, it means he has to spend time in jail.

01:35The reason he posted a video in advance explaining this is because whenever he gets a violation

01:39in the DUI court program, it lists his original offence from 2020, making it seem like a new

01:45DUI when it isn't, so people shouldn't worry as he's in a good place right now.

01:50It's now been over a year since Janelle Grant filed her lawsuit accusing Vince McMahon

01:54of sexual misconduct and trafficking, allegations which he denies.

01:57It led to Vince resigning from WWE the day before last year's Royal Rumble, and it

02:02also scuppered creative plans for the return of Brock Lesnar.

02:06Grant's lawsuit also alleged that Vince requested her to send sexual content to a

02:10UFC fighter and WWE talent the company was trying to re-sign.

02:15The Wall Street Journal later reported this name to be Lesnar.

02:18As a result, WWE pulled him from all their Rumble and Road to WrestleMania plans, where

02:22he was apparently meant to have matches against Gunther and Dominic Mysterio, removed him

02:27as a playable character from the WWE 2K24 game, and edited around him in video packages.

02:33But since August, WWE has started to reference The Beast in promos on TV.

02:38He's been such a big part of modern WWE history, there's an argument that it's

02:43hard not to.

02:44Especially when characters are discussing the really big stars they've beaten in the

02:47past.

02:48Just on this Monday's Raw, Drew McIntyre referenced Slayin' The Beast at WrestleMania

02:5339, which led to Paul Heyman joining forces with Roman Reigns and kicking off the whole

02:58Bloodline saga.

02:59But there is another interpretation.

03:02WWE are subtly testing the waters for an eventual Lesnar return.

03:07The main crux of McMahon's legal defence against Grant is that this shouldn't be

03:11a public hearing.

03:12It should first go to private arbitration, as laid out in the NDA that Grant signed years

03:17ago.

03:18Grant's lawyers have until Friday 31st January to submit their arguments as to why the case

03:23should stay public, which is arguably in their best interests.

03:27With this in mind, the Wrestling Observer has reported that there is no movement on

03:30Lesnar returning to WWE, as the legal department has to sign off on it first.

03:35And that likely won't happen until they're confident the Grant lawsuit is being resolved.

03:41a Rumble return on Saturday, and, most probably, for the rest of the road to WrestleMania.

03:46Sportskeeda's Chris Featherstone has reported there have been no internal conversations

03:50within WWE about Lesnar's return as a result.

03:53Brock remains on WWE.com's active roster page.

03:56But that's not the only curious thing about WWE.com.

04:00Jordan Grace finished up with TNA at their Genesis PLE on the 19th.

04:04Fightful Select, PWInsider and the Wrestling Observer all reported that she was now on

04:10her way to join WWE, after appearing in last year's Women's Royal Rumble and frequently

04:15turning up on NXT TV.

04:17The speculation is she'll fully debut at this Saturday's Royal Rumble.

04:20And now the news has officially been confirmed by WWE's web development team.

04:28If you type in the URL wwe.com forward slash superstars forward slash jordan hyphen grace

04:35which would be her page if she was an active roster member, you are greeted with an access

04:41denied message that reads, you are not authorized to access this page.

04:46This means that WWE have added Grace to their official online roster, but it just isn't

04:51publicly viewable yet.

04:52Now, this was where I was going to make a joke about who else can we try this for.

04:56Where I'd type a stupid name in the web address, but it wouldn't come back with

05:00any proper results.

05:01And the name I put in was David Arquette.

05:11And it also said you are not authorized to access this page.

05:15Yeah, he wrestled once for Raw in 2010, but so did Floyd Mayweather, and that just redirects

05:21you to the main roster page.

05:23Kenny Omega redirects you to the main roster page.

05:26Rey Fenix redirects you to the main roster page.

05:29Arquette, what are you telling us?

05:32In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Grace didn't talk about going to WWE, but she

05:36did explain what happened with her TNA contract, where she'd been since 2018.

05:41Apparently her deal originally ran out in October 2025, but TNA management agreed to

05:46let her out ten months earlier in January, potentially because of the working relationship

05:50agreed with WWE.

05:52Which sounds like a much better situation than what happened to PCO.

05:56On the same evening that Grace was finishing up her TNA run at Genesis, the promotion's

06:00then current digital media champion PCO was shooting on the company and trying to destroy

06:05its belt at a GCW show.

06:07His rant against TNA was cut off by the production team, so he's now spoken to Fightful about

06:12what was going on behind the scenes.

06:15He said he was very upset with TNA's new management, as at July's Slammiversary show,

06:20he believes he helped sell out the biggest house in the Anthem era of TNA.

06:24He spoke about fighting to double the venue size from a 2,000 to 4,000 capacity, which

06:29he claims would've cost the same amount.

06:32He promised he'd do all he could to sell it out, and, to his credit, he did.

06:37The event's attendance figure was 4,100.

06:39He then claims he had a verbal agreement for a new contract for 2025 on a very similar

06:44salary and conditions that he was already on.

06:46But backstage at TNA's last show of the year, Final Resolution on the 13th December,

06:51he saw other wrestlers coming out of the office and quitting.

06:55He was then told that they can't honour the deal they spoke about.

06:58They changed it to less money, which he agreed on a handshake.

07:01But then he got a concussion in December, and nobody came with him to the hospital.

07:05He was told to put the expense on his credit card, and that the promotion would reimburse

07:09him.

07:10From that point, he didn't feel valued by TNA.

07:12Ultimately, he claims TNA pulled his contract offer, which is why he did what he did at

07:16the GCW show.

07:17Now here's a special word for our wonderful Patreons…

07:21Hey everyone, professional wrestler Turbo John here, the brother of Turbo Jack and our

07:27dear departed Turbo Jake.

07:39I've heard tale, tales of him going up on a hang glide and adventure, and just going

07:46sailing.

07:47And I will sail no more, is what he's believed to have said before he sailed off.

09:22Thank y'all.

09:23While the Rumble is the perfect place to debut new stars, it seems some of WWE's signed

09:28wrestlers are being saved for NXT.

09:31The 28th January episode of NXT ended with a cryptic bars and tone video with the text

09:37Vengeance Day.

09:38Vengeance Day is NXT's next big PLE, which is happening on Saturday the 15th February.

09:43There's currently no word on who this could be.

09:46Solomon Crowe NXT return confirmed.

09:48There's another name that WWE could debut soon, though.

09:51Former New Japan star and Bloodline family member Hikaleo, who has been signed with the

09:55company since July.

09:57The initial report had him set to debut in NXT first, instead of being called up to the

10:02main roster right away as the latest man in the black hoodie interfering in a Bloodline

10:05match.

10:06And now the Wrestling Observer is reporting, six months after signing him, WWE is still

10:11in no rush to debut him, as they don't want to put him on screen too early.

10:15So we'll just make him in the new WWE 2K game instead.

10:18Following the reveal of Roman Reigns as the game's cover star on Monday's Raw, and

10:21that it would be released on the 14th March, 2K announced more details for the game.

10:26There will now be intergender matches, so you can finally book Rhea Ripley vs Gunther.

10:30My GM mode is returning, hooray, which you can now play online.

10:34And the new game will see the debut of The Island, which is…

10:39An interactive world made up of a series of areas built around different WWE themes.

10:45The Island offers players the opportunity to explore and challenge other players while

10:50vying to earn a WWE contract by impressing the original Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.

10:56As you can see, the Island has a gigantic statue of Roman in solid gold.

11:01Never one to miss an opportunity to HATE Drew McIntyre posted about Sami Zayn featuring

11:08on the 2K Special Edition cover with the rest of the Bloodline, what the hell is a polar

11:12bear doing in Arlington, Texas?

11:14With Raw moving to Netflix, we don't have as many ratings and quarter hour analytics

11:18to endlessly argue about anymore.

11:20But the delayed overall global number is still coming out.

11:24According to Netflix's own site, the 20th January episode of Raw was ranked 7th globally

11:29for the week, pulling in 3 million views.

11:32This is down almost 50% from the 5.9 million views in week 1.

11:36Week 2 pulled in 3.7 million.

11:38As 3 million is the global number, the domestic US viewing figures likely aren't massively

11:43different from the 1.6 million it was getting on average on the USA Network.

11:47The second Saturday night's main event pulled in 1.5 million viewers on USA, and SmackDown

11:52drew a very strong 2.5 million viewers and a .71 demo rating last Friday night.

11:58There's a brand new episode of Worst Match Ever available to watch right now on PFK!

12:03It's 2023's Worst Match of the Year winner of LA Knight vs Bray Wyatt in a Mountain Dew

12:10pitch black match.

12:11Click the video onscreen to watch us watch that now.
