1/11 PW Morning Report: Eric Bischoff WWE Bound? “ALL IN” Date Announced, Impact’s New Direction & More

WWE News

It’s being reported that Eric Bischoff will be a part of the upcoming Raw 25th Anniversary special (DETAILS). One of the more controversial figures in the wrestling business, Bischoff is the former President of WCW and the driving force behind their war with Monday Night Raw. When WWE bought them out, he would go on to actually become the general manager of Raw, the show is fought against for years, and many consider him to be one of the greatest on-screen authority figures in WWE history.

Carmella will be joined by New Day member Big E in the Mixed Match Challenge as a result of a fan vote, which means we now have a complete look at the field for this interactive event taking place exclusively on Facebook Watch. Some of the more interesting combinations include Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss, Finn Balor and Sasha Banks, Sami Zayn and Becky Lynch, and a few real-life couples like Rusev and Lana.

Impact Wrestling kicked off a week’s worth of television tapings on Wednesday night at Universal Studios in Orlando. They taped between 2-3 shows on night one and by the time they’re done next week it’s likely they’ll have enough footage to make it to their annual Lockdown pay-per-view in April. These are the first tapings under the new Don Callis regime. Full 1/10 Impact Wrestling television taping results at this link.

Night one of the Impact tapings featured a huge return in the form of a recently released WWE Superstar and former world champion, who immediately stirred things up in a major angle (SPOILERS). They’ve also returned to a four-sided ring ditching the six-sided ring they’ve become famous, or perhaps infamous for (PHOTO).

Bullet Club has announced the date for their “ALL IN” event (DETAILS), which will make the ambitious attempt to sell 10,000 tickets for a show completely funded and produced by the group. ALL IN will take place on September 1, 2018 which is usually the weekend of PWG’s three-day Battle of Los Angeles tournament. So far confirmed for the event is Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, Hangman Page and Stephen Amell (DETAILS). They will reveal the date of ALL IN on an upcoming edition of “Being The Elite” (DETAILS).
