We have the latest on the ongoing lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon. CM Punk has provided a major update on his current injury, and WWE superstars have made their in-ring return. But first, be sure to subscribe with notifications turned on so you don’t miss the latest pro wrestling news!
**SEVERAL WON REPORTS DEBUNKED**
Let’s start by debunking various reports from the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Every Friday for the past, who knows how many years, Dave Meltzer has dropped the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, providing updates and reports from all around the pro wrestling world. However, recent issues have raised questions about accuracy and bias.
Over recent months, it’s become increasingly difficult to overlook Dave’s clear bias and his tendency to report backstage hearsay as fact, leading to issues when these stories spread across the wrestling news cycle. Fortunately, some recent claims in the Observer have been proven false, creating an awkward situation for the publication.
In the latest Observer, Dave provided an update on the relationship between AEW and Mexican promotion CMLL, claiming that certain terms of the agreement have led to backstage unhappiness. However, this report was quickly debunked by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, who provided evidence to the contrary.
Another report that was eventually pulled from the Observer entirely was regarding a segment taped involving The Rock and Triple H, teasing a WrestleMania match. However, it turns out this segment was from 10 years ago, leading to an apology from Meltzer himself.
Furthermore, a story claiming that Tommy Dreamer had been promoted to head of creative was debunked by Dreamer himself, who stated on Busted Open Radio that there were no changes in his position.
These mistakes raise questions about the reliability of Meltzer’s sources and whether misinformation is being intentionally fed to him. Regardless, steps should be taken to ensure the Observer regains its credibility as a reliable news source.
**LATEST ON VINCE MCMAHON LAWSUIT**
Vince McMahon finds himself in the headlines due to an ongoing lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct and sex trafficking. This has led to his resignation from his position as chairman of the TKO group. Fightful Select provides an update on the situation, including information about unnamed executives mentioned in the lawsuit.
While the identities of these executives remain a mystery, it’s believed that one of them is no longer with WWE. John Laurinaitis, a former executive named in the lawsuit, has turned against McMahon, confirming the allegations made against him.
The WWE talent have not been briefed on whether they can speak about the lawsuit publicly, and there’s speculation that another victim may come forward with their experiences in WWE.
**CM PUNK REVEALS MAJOR RETURN UPDATE**
CM Punk provides a major update on his current injury, which occurred during this year’s Royal Rumble match. Despite being sidelined, Punk remains optimistic about his return, stating that he’s in no rush to get back to competing but is focused on getting healthy.
While Punk may be out of action, he assures fans that they’ll still see him around, ready to run his mouth until he’s ready to return to the ring.
**CONTROVERSIAL WWE SUPERSTAR RETURNS**
Several WWE superstars released in September 2023 have made their in-ring return, including Matt Riddle, Dolph Ziggler, and Mustafa Ali. Another former WWE star, Elias, has returned to action, showcasing a new level of power and aggression.
Additionally, the former Velveteen Dream, now wrestling as Velveteen Man, has appeared in the ring, sparking both excitement and controversy due to past allegations against him.
