WWE SmackDown 3/17/23 review with JDfromNY on Off The Script. We are inching closer to WrestleMania 39! Drew McIntyre and Sheamus will battle it out to see who will challenge GUNTHER for the WWE Intercontinental Championship on night one of the big event. With both men having scored simultaneous pinfalls in a Fatal Five-Way match last week, this match is sure to be intense as the two friends are forced to face off in singles action. Also on tonight's show, we'll see a confrontation between Sami Zayn and Jey Uso following Uso's betrayal of Zayn on "WWE Raw" last week. Zayn and Kevin Owens have been fighting their own battles against the Bloodline since Elimination Chamber, but with Zayn outnumbered once again, will Owens finally come to his aid, or might Cody Rhodes step in once again? In addition, we could see potential WrestleMania storylines play out on tonight's episode, such as Rhodes potentially challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, Austin Theor

Wrestling news for March 16th, 2023 with JDfromNY on Off The Script. AEW talent supposedly "want out" after a Darby Allin promo on AEW Dynamite last night got a little too real, exposing some on the AEW roster may not want to be there but instead go back to WWE. Why was this allowed to said, is there any truth to it, and why leadership in AEW continues to be a problem. The stories of Vince McMahon seem to be happening weekly now, as news of him being backstage last week during Monday Night Raw continues to be talked about. Dave Meltzer reported that there is more to that story that WWE doesn't want you to know, and Sports Illustrated reported the same thing but cleverly tried to cover up the story and deny any Vince McMahon involvement. Also, Triple H loves Gunther but claims he isn't ready for a major match with Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania. What I believe Triple H is waiting for, and what Triple H is trying to say.  Other stories on todays Off The Script:

It appears that another weekly AEW TV show is coming sooner than later, according to a new report from F4Wonline. The news was first revealed on the Saturday edition of the "Mat Men" podcast by Andrew Zarian. This is a huge mistake for AEW, and Tony Khan as they have not even begun the process of fixing what they already on have across TNT, and TBS. Also, WWE is meeting with potential buyers for the first time in April for a possible sale of the company but we already know its not about the sale of the company for Vince McMahon. Becky Lynch has major plans going into the Summer months with a shocking heel turn, and opponent lined up for her. AEW is in the process of sitting down with The Elite ( Matt, Nick Jackson, and Kenny Omega) to sign them to new long term contracts.

How will Roman Reigns react after what Jey Uso did to Sami Zayn on Monday Night Raw?

WWE lied to you, and the wrestling media again Monday when Vince McMahon was reportedly backstage to simply visit John Cena. Instead, we find out, he sat in the "Gorilla Position" all night, and as far as I am concerned, had a major hand in the booking of Monday Night Raw. This is a major problem no one seems to care about. Also, WWE has announced Bad Bunny will host WWE Backlash in Puerto Rico on May 5th. It will mark the first time WWE holds an event in Puerto Rico since New Years Revolution in January 2005.  Other top stories include Triple H wanting to "stack" Wrestlemania 40 next year because of the major milestone.

Lethal is out for revenge after he and Cassidy came up short in their quest for the AEW World Tag Team titles at Revolution. The champion might be on a winning streak, but with rising stars like Jungle Boy and Ricky Starks on the rise, a heel All-Atlantic Champion could be just what the doctor ordered. Also on the card, Wardlow defends his TNT Championship against Powerhouse Hobbs. The champion may be feeling a bit off his game after all his belongings, including the TNT belt, were stolen from his rental car. Chris Jericho is looking to bounce back after recent

We also explore Lesnar's other potential opponents for WrestleMania, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, Roman Reigns, Gunther, Bobby Lashley, and Bray Wyatt.

Is Vince McMahon slowly creeping himself back to WWE Creative? Why have their been more changes than originally reported for Wrestlemania 39 if Triple H had his plans already laid out? On today's Off the Script with JDfromNY, we explore the rumors and speculation surrounding Vince McMahon's involvement in the creative direction of Wrestlemania 39. Many fans have been speculating that McMahon has been heavily involved in the planning of the biggest event on WWE's calendar, leading to questions about the potential impact on the overall product, why strange creative decisions have been made, or changed, and the rumor that some within the company believe he is back in the creative department. We delve into the evidence and discuss the reasons behind these rumors, as well as what it could mean for the future of WWE.  Also, Kenny Omega contract is a huge topic of discussion as WWE plans to go hard after Kenny Omega. As the current AEW Trios Champions with The Young Bucks, Omega's wrestling contract

WWE SmackDown 2/24/23 review with JDfromNY.

Lastly, Braun Strowman, Ricochet, and Madcap Moss will team up to face Imperium's GUNTHER, Ludwig Kaiser, and Giovanni Vinci in a six-man tag team match, following Moss's unsuccessful attempt to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship from GUNTHER last week.

Reports of Vince McMahon returning to WWE creative have been denied by multiple wrestling reporters but why has the story now been reported on two separate occasions? WWE has also released Wrestlemania 39 promotional material that has fans questioning his status in the company as well. The rumors started circulating online on Wednesday, but Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp consulted with WWE sources "that would be in the position to know" and stated that "these fears are unfounded." PWTorch's Wade Keller also claimed that he had been told Vince is not back on creative. Vince McMahon had returned to WWE in January as Executive Chairman, but Paul 'Triple H' Levesque is currently the head of creative, with Vince deferring to him.  Also, the latest developments in WWE's plans for WrestleMania 39. Despite fans' vocal support for Sami Zayn to headline the event, WWE officials have deemed him not yet ready for the main event stage. Instead, the company plans to feature an Undisputed

AEW Dynamite 2/22/23 review with JDfromNY. Tony Khan is hyping up a major announcement tonight, coincidentally after AEW Dynamite drew it's lowest ratings since November last week. It remains to be seen what Tony Khan's announcement will be, but it's clear that AEW is facing some challenges with its viewership numbers. Whether the announcement will be related to a free agent signing or some other major news, it will be interesting to see how it affects AEW's momentum heading into the AEW Revolution pay-per-view. Regardless, AEW will need to find ways to attract and retain viewers if it wants to continue to grow its brand and compete with WWE, as it has been a VERY hot topic the last week.  Also, 10 teams compete in a tag team battle royal for a chance to participate in the AEW World Tag Team Championship fatal four-way match at AEW Revolution. Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal, Top Flight's Darius and Dante Martin, and the Lucha Brothers' Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fénix are just a few of

WWE Raw 2/20/23 review with JDfromNY. Austin Theory puts his United States Championship on the line against WWE Hall of Famer Edge. Following his victory in the United States Championship Elimination Chamber match, Theory issued an open challenge which was answered by Edge. Edge is determined to win his first title since his initial retirement in 2011 and will be bringing his A-game to the ring. Also, Dolph Ziggler will face off against Mustafa Ali in a one-on-one match. Ali has become increasingly frustrated with his role in WWE and has targeted Ziggler, believing that the former world champion is constantly handed opportunities. Ziggler, on the other hand, has urged Ali to concentrate on showcasing his talents in the ring and has accepted the challenge to prove his point. As we approach WrestleMania 39, the card for the two-night show in Los Angeles will begin to take shape. Will Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley collide again in April after their trilogy bout ended in disqualification? Where does Bray Wyatt f

WWE has reportedly set its sights on "Switchblade" Jay White for their big Wrestlemania season free agent signing but that may not be the biggest news. According to recent reports, the company is interested in none other than Kenny Omega, the star and executive vice president of AEW, and IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion. Omega's contract is believed to be up or nearing its expiration date, although there is speculation that it could be extended due to injuries. Omega and his Elite stablemates The Young Bucks have had a highly successful four years with AEW, but it seems that WWE may have a plan for how to use Omega if they can convince him to join the company. Cody Rhodes, who helped create AEW alongside Omega and The Young Bucks, returned to WWE last year and is now set to compete for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania after winning the 2023 Royal Rumble. Could Omega be next in line for a big push in WWE?  Also, AEW owner Tony Khan has taken to soc
