  • WWE News: Update on what Tuesday’s ESPN announcement is about, who won’t be at Smackdown

    The Tuesday WWE announcement on ESPN will be in regards to WrestleMania in Dallas, TX — likely that ESPN will be heavily covering the event.

    Jonathan Coachman, the former WWE announcer turned ESPN anchor, will be appearing with WWE Champion Seth Rollins at 9 p.m. Eastern time tonight during SportsCenter for the announcement. That would mean Rollins will not be appearing in Cincinnati, OH, Tuesday for the Smackdown tapings.

    WWE sent out information today that travel packages for WrestleMania week, which includes the Hall of Fame on 4/2 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, WrestleMania on 4/3 at AT&T Stadium and Raw the next night at the American Airlines Center, are now available. Tickets go on sale on 11/6.

    WWE’s ad listed John Cena front and center as the star of the show in addition to Kofi Kingston, Undertaker, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Rollins, and Paige.

  • WWE: Steve Austin says he will not be returning at Wrestlemania 32

    The question of who is wrestling Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania has apparently whittled down a couple of the biggest names.

    Steve Austin on Twitter said, “You can take my name off the rumor mill as a Brock Lesnar opponent at WrestleMania 32.  Bullshit reporting.”

    With Lesnar vs. Undertaker no longer one of the scheduled main events at WrestleMania, the question became who would be the new opponents for both at Texas Stadium next year.

    Austin had said a few months ago that it wasn’t going to happen.  He would likely have been the biggest drawing potential opponent, but hasn’t wrestled in 11 1/2 years and has given no indication he was going to ever wrestle again.  His doing a podcast with Lesnar on 10/19 fueled some speculation, but he appears to have shut the door on it again.

    Sources close to the situation have also told us that Dwayne Johnson is currently not scheduled to be wrestling Lesnar on the show.
