The Scoop

Posted: Jan 20th 2019 By: Compiled by Oklafan Staff

NEWS
Jerry Lawler announced on his "Dinner With The King" podcast last week that he signed a new, two-year deal with WWE. His usual deal is renewed every year but this time around he was offered two years plus a raise and Lawler agreed. Lawler also said that he will be calling this year’s men’s "Royal Rumble" match and it looks like he will be joined by his former commentary partner John Bradshaw Layfield. Michael Cole will be leading the commentary booth. The former RAW and SmackDown commentator lost his place to younger guys over the past few years but is still part of the pay-per-view Kickoff panels.

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman will be appearing on RAW Monday night in Oklahoma City.

2K announced a final call for entries into its WWE 2K19 Million Dollar Challenge, that leads to the winner against A. J. Styles in the game. The deadline to enter is January 31st at midnight Eastern time.

Ivelisse is saying that she is “being legally held hostage” by Lucha Underground. She said that they convinced her to do season four of the show under the promise that she would be released after the season concluded but are still refusing to let her go. Eric Van Wagnen told Pro Wrestling Sheet that no producers, executives or lawyers at MGM make those kinds of decisions and that the LLC, which is ran by Dorian Roldan and John Fogelman, are in charge of that. Joey Ryan tweeted about the situation with Ivelisse: “I back Ivelisse 100% on this. Prior to S4, we were told anybody who requested a release would be granted one. Some did and left after the tapings. Others showed faith in the product and now seems are being punished for it. With no S5 in sight, it’s petty to keep anyone locked up.”

In a recent video, Jack Swagger said that, in fact, he’s no CM Punk when it comes to competing in MMA. You can see the video by clicking here.
