Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I'm Oli Davis.
Big Money Weekend Saturday night didn't just have the so-called
Match of the Century between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor - which Enzo Amore apparently
bought a $10,000 ticket for - it also had Mexican promotion AAA's biggest show of
the year TripleMania; their version of Wrestlemania.
But while the main event saw Dr Wagner Jr put over Psycho Clown in a Mask vs Mask match
- a symbolic passing of the torch from the 52 year old - earlier in the card saw one
bout end in controversy.
AAA Wrestling Controversy Sexy Star defended her Reina de Reinas Championship
against Ayako Hamada, Lady Shani and Rosemary in a Fatal Four Way, but during the match
- according to PWInsider - "The word backstage is that Lady Shani and Star were legitimately
shooting on each other at one point.
The scene backstage after was said to have been extremely tense."
F4WOnline have since claimed this is because Shani started hitting Sexy Star hard because
of previous heat, and then Hamada "started getting rough with her as well".
Thinking all three women were genuinely after her, she put GFW wrestler Rosemary in a legitimate
armbar, popping the former Knockout Champion's elbow out of place.
Thankfully, the damage isn't as bad as it first appeared, but she'll still miss time
due to injury, AAA's Director of Talent Vampiro is said
to have made Sexy Star apologise to Rosemary after the match, but then quickly escorted
her out of the building because Shani was still looking for a fight.
Vampiro and GFW President Jeff Jarrett also reportedly clashed over the incident, with
F4WOnline writing "Jarrett yelled at Vampiro backstage in the dressing room and was furious
with Sexy Star."
The incident has sparked outrage amongst wrestlers, with a number of them commenting on Twitter.
Rosemary's fellow GFW wrestler and current Knockouts Champion Sienna posted:
"If that "wasn't" a shoot, she's just another idiot mark who doesn't know the mechanics
of an armbar.
But I'll beat her ass either way."
While Sexy Star's own Lucha Underground colleague - a promotion for whom she once
held the top title - also condemned her actions, with Ricochet writing:
"Obviously intentionally hurting someone who is putting full trust in you to NOT hurt
them is stupid.
Karma gets everyone eventually."
I think he means the spiritual concept of Karma, rather than Awesome Kong's WWE gimmick
And Smackdown Producer Road Dogg said it's harmed her chances of working in WWE:
"did that girl really hurt @WeAreRosemary ? Just wondering so I can insure she never
works any where near me!"
Rosemary herself has now posted a statement on Twitter, confirming the incident was a
shoot: "I have now been informed that she is telling
people that it is a work.
You are all now being informed Sexy Star is a liar.
She was a liar in the locker room when she was forced to apologize and instead cooked
up some bulls*** excuse that she "didn't know" and she is a liar now.
You know if you are torquing on someone's arm."
Randy Orton Unhappy With WWE Randy Orton has also been shooting on Twitter,
but on his own company rather than the Sexy Star controversy.
Ahead of the Fight of the Century, comedy account WWE Creative Humor tweeted:
"How is @FloydMayweather vs @TheNotoriousMMA not in a Punjabi Prison?
Money left on the table guys #Kayfabe".
A tweet which the Viper replied to FROM OUTTA… the Twitter app on his smart phone probably:
"Then no one would be able to see the fight because the view would be obstructed by the
two walls of 'bamboo' -duh" The Dirty Sheets Podcast point out this is
just the latest example of Orton publicly venting his frustration with the company,
and that he is very keen to move to Raw and turn heel.
Apparently Randy was very happy with his Bray Wyatt feud up until Wrestlemania 33 this year,
a storyline that was mostly overseen by Vince McMahon.
But since then, other than the Jinder Mahal push, McMahon has been "far less hands on
with Smackdown", and Orton would like to work under Vince again.
Major WWE plans for Roman Reigns have been leaked!
And what was the real reason behind Mick Foley's failed retirement?
