Update On Undertaker vs. Dean Ambrose & If It Will Air On SmackDown

There are conflicting reports about the Undertaker vs. Dean Ambrose match that took place at the end of Tuesday’s London SmackDown tapings.

Initially, fan reports that were being sent in (and Twitter activity) indicated that the match was the non-televised dark match main event. Plus, the Undertaker’s appearance was promoted in advance as a “London Exclusive” – another sign that it was for the live crowd only.

However, other fans who were in attendance stated that the match was probably taped for Friday’s SmackDown broadcast, since a graphic aired on the big screen earlier in the show hyping the match and WWE announcers were still ringside calling the action.

It’s still unclear at this point where the TV taping concluded and WWE has not yet acknowledged that Undertaker will be competing on Friday’s show.

We’ll post an update when more details become available. In the event that the match does air on television, we apologize for “spoiling” the result for fans who try to avoid spoilers.

WWE superstar and Hollywood action hero Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson underwent successful abdominal surgery on Monday to repair injuries sustained at WrestleMania 29.

The injury caused The Rock to miss RAW the following night as well as the Los Angeles movie premiere of his new film, “Pain & Gain.”

It’s been known that The Rock’s decision to wrestle for WWE was not looked upon fondly by his associates in Hollywood, who rely on their leading man to be healthy in order to shoot and promote his movie projects. Now, director Michael Bay (Pain & Gain, Transformers) is speaking out about The Rock’s decision to juggle wrestling and movies.

At the recent Pain & Gain premiere event, Michael Bay explained why The Rock was not in attendance and gave him some career advice:

“Dwayne’s hurt tonight. He was pushing it too hard. [He] needs to grow up and stop wrestling 300-pound men.”

At Tuesday’s WWE SmackDown tapings from London, England, The Undertaker made a rare in-ring appearance, wrestling The Shield member Dean Ambrose. It’s still unclear at this time whether the match will air on SmackDown or was a dark match main event, but here’s an in-person from SEScoops.com correspondent Jen Lee of Dean-ambrose.net:

The commentators (I could hear them) kept going right up until, after powerbombing Taker through the announce desk, Ambrose started yelling at him. At that point JBL and Cole left and things seemed to clear out while The Shield ‘celebrated’ and went back in to the ring. Pretty much the only people left after that were Lilian and one camera guy, the others were done. Thats when the Outlaws and Triple H came out, cleared out The Shield and went to pick up Taker from the wreckage. There was a funny spot after that where they walked up the ramp, stopped by the Taxi at the top and opened the door as if to put Taker in it. He just glared and they closed it again.

 

But yeah, it was still full systems go all the way up to Ambrose yelling after the powerbomb. 3 cameras, 2 photographers, commentators shouting. Heard most of it. So I’d say it’s getting aired. They also showed a graphic several times through the night for it, and Ambrose did a backstage promo talking about taking out Undertaker ‘tonight’.

During a recent interview with the Temple News, Diamond Dallas Page revealed that WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is about to begin his DDP Yoga program:

“One of my very good buddies, Stone Cold Steve Austin, has agreed to do it for a month while filming Redneck Island. His Hollywood stunt man swears by DDP Yoga. Steve lifts weights and does cardio for an hour a day, five days a week. I told him you only need to do my workout 20 minutes a day for three days a week and it will replace your cardio. He had to ask others for confirmation, even though the son of a gun lived with me.”

“Those guys have had major problems with alcoholism, pill abuse and drugs. Since [Roberts] moved in around October, he has lost 65 pounds.

Newsday.com has published a recent interview with Jeff Hardy, which was conducted in Westbury, New York earlier this month over WrestleMania weekend. Here are some of the highlights of what Hardy said about:

Why He’s With TNA Instead Of WWE:

“I was in TNA years ago, and it’s just more alternative, and more different, and I’m a different kind of cat. I can be more of the enigma I want to be with the music and art and just a professional wrestler in general. The WWE kind of limits it with what you can do, and here I can express my spirit more.”

What Inspired Him to Become a Wrestler:

“Back in the day when I’d see Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Sting — especially The Ultimate Warrior and Sting — with the face paint and the larger than life characters, I was obsessed with it. And then I learned more about professional wrestling and the beauty that does exist in it. It truly is an art, and I became obsessed with it and I said, ‘this is what I have to do'”.

His Relationship with Matt:

“We have a great relationship. He is working some Ring of Honor shows and working a lot of independent shows. So he’s staying busy. He’s prretty much his own boss. But yeah, we still stay in touch.”

Bobby Roode Interview: TNA Contract Lapsing, Impact On The Road

TNA star Bobby Roode recently spoke to Canada’s SLAM! Sports and had this to say about the following topics:

His TNA Contract Lapsing Back In March:

“Honestly with the TNA situation, a lot of it had to do with the visa paperwork and stuff like that, being a Canadian and having to come and work in the United States. Everything just fell into place very quickly. It wasn’t like I was sitting at home for months at a time, stewing and looking for different things to do.”

TNA Impact Leaving Orlando & Going On The Road

“It’s obviously not as convenient. Let’s face it, for eight years, we were going down to Orlando. We were going to the same hotel, going to the same areas. You became quite familiar with the area. You didn’t have a problem getting in or out. You knew exactly how much time you needed to get to the airport and all that stuff. Now, it’s a little different that way.”

“Honestly, if I’m getting on an airplane, whether I’m flying to Florida, or flying to Texas, or flying to wherever, it really doesn’t matter. It’s really nice to be able to come to different places and do our television show in front of real wrestling fans, fans that want to be there, and bought a ticket. In Orlando, a lot of times in the Impact Zone, it was a great home for us, but a lot of times, they were just park people, and families that just came because we were one of the attractions in the park. So you didn’t always get that excitement sometimes during the show. Now it’s different. We look forward to that. The travel is a little more, but it’s a good price to pay.”
