Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I'm Oli Davis.
Curt Hawkins, WWE Legend This week's episode of Raw kicked off with
an over-the-top Battle Royal to decide the No. 1 Contender for The Miz's Intercontinental
Championship.
The first man eliminated was Curt Hawkins, being thrown out by all 14 other guys in the
ring.
But for the optimistic Star Maker on Twitter, that particular glass is half full, posting:
"I'd like to thank all the @WWE Superstars that honored me last night.
This business is all about earning the respect of your peers.
#RAW" With one picture of him being thrown out the
ring], alongside a similar-looking - but very contextually differing - image of Bret Hart
celebrating his Wrestlemania X WWF title win.
One day, Curt.
One day.
Far more likely in the near future is the return to WWE of two former Divas Champions.
Nikki & Brie Bella Returning In 2018 Speaking to Kenny from Inside the Ropes, Nikki
Bella had this to say about a Bella Twins return next year:
NIKKI: "Definitely coming back, and I wanna come back when I have my sister by my side.
It's been over two years now since the Bella Twins have been in the ring together, and
so I definitely want to make a comeback with Brie.
I'm obviously still waiting for my neck to heal, so I'm hoping 2018 is going to
be the time when we come back.
I hope before then, but I don't know if that can happen.
That's the thing that sucks about bones, you know.
It's like 'grow, c'mon!'
KENNY: And it's something you'd do as like maybe a part time schedule?
Rather than being on the road all the time?
NIKKI: Yeah.
Unfortunately because of my neck, my surgeon - he doesn't even want me to come back and
ever be in the ring again, but he definitely said you can't ever be full-time again.
Nikki underwent neck surgery at the start of 2016, keeping her out of action for 7 months
until her Smackdown Live return at that year's Summerslam.
When preparing for her in-ring comeback, she trained with her brother-in-law Daniel Bryan,
and it appears the Smackdown General Manager is playing coach yet again…
NIKKI: "He's been training with Brie in the ring, because Brie really wants to make
a return, and seeing him, he's like an amazing coach, the patience.
But in his heart he wants to compete, he wants to be in the ring."
A big thank you to Inside the Ropes for letting us use that footage.
Check out their YouTube channel for the rest of the interview by clicking the link above
my head, including Nikki talking about how Bryan is preparing for an in-ring return himself,
who John Cena wants to face at Wrestlemania and Kenny flirting with the man's wife.
KENNY: I don't care if it's a guilty pleasure, I'm a big Total Divas fan, a Total Bellas
fan.
NIKKI: Woo - yes!
Kenny, you sly dog.
Before her WWE in-ring return, though, or a date with Kenny, Nikki has a new upcoming
project...
Nikki Bella Training For Dancing With The Stars
PWInsider is reporting that the Bella twin has now officially started training for American
reality contest Dancing With The Stars.
This comes after a Total Divas episode from earlier in the year showing Nikki turning
down an offer from the programme to focus on her wrestling return.
Dolph Ziggler is reportedly leaving WWE when his contract is up.
And which show was better this week - Raw or Smackdown?
