UndertakerIn this interview JBL sings the praises of recent WWE HOF inductee Undertaker: "Not to take away from any other Hall of Fame class, or member. But there are certain guys in Hall of Fames that are pillars and cornerstones of the business, Ron is a pillar and cornerstone of the business, the first black heavyweight champion. Bruno Sammartino was a pillar, a cornerstone of the business. Undertaker falls into that category as well. There are certain guys that are your guys that you look at in the Hall of Fame. When you go to the Hall of Fame, everyone there is important, everyone has had a wonderful career. But certain times in the Hall of Fame, when you go to a Hall of Fame, you go, 'I want to see Babe Ruth,' Undertaker is like that. There's Hall of Fame's and then there's a level above that, and that's where guys like Ron, and Undertaker belong."

SmackDown's rating last Friday was a 0.60 18-49 with 2.23 million viewers. The numbers are therefore down 1.6% and 5.5% from the previous week’s 0.61 demo rating and 2.359 million viewers. (Wrestlenomics)

On the other hand AEW Rampage weas up last Friday with a 0.25 rating and 600,000 viewers. That's up 66.7% and 31.6% from a 0.15 demo and 456,000 viewers the week before. (Wrestlenomics)

New AEW related videos are available below.

The Gates of Agony (Toa Liona and Kaun) are reportedly signed to the ROH/AEW roster.

Johnny Gargano would still like to have a WrestleMania moment: "WWE, at the end of the day, was always the company I watched growing up. It was my dream to be there. It was my dream to wrestle for that company and I had a hell of a run there. There is a big part of me that still feels a little unfulfilled. I felt like, towards the end of my NXT run, I felt complete. I feel I did everything I possibly could in NXT, but for me, I'm always this underdog looking for different mountains to climb and hills to topple over. I just want a new mountain to climb. The time period worked out to where I could take a little bit of a break, reset, reassess things, figure out what I want out of this thing, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that there is a little part of me that says, 'You could wrestle at WrestleMania one day.'"

XFL ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH NFL ALUMNI ACADEMY

Partnership combines scouting and training resources to expand player development opportunities

NFL Alumni Academy players to automatically receive XFL contract at the end of each season

The XFL today announced it has entered an exclusive partnership with the NFL Alumni Academy, an elite in-season training program for "NFL Ready" players led by former NFL coaches and players. Together, the XFL and the NFL Alumni Academy will enhance the football ecosystem by combining their scouting and training expertise to develop the next best players in the game and offer more opportunities to play professional football.

"This is a monumental partnership not only for the XFL, but for the entire football ecosystem," said Russ Brandon, XFL President. "The NFL Alumni Academy has found great success over the past two years training and mentoring up-and-coming players, many of whom have gone on to play in the NFL, and we are collaborating to create another avenue of opportunity for players to showcase their talent. We are completely aligned in our player-centric philosophy and we're eager to continue to explore the bounds of this partnership."

The XFL and the NFL Alumni Academy will work together to identify the highest caliber players to train at the NFL Alumni Academy, leveraging combined resources and expertise to seek quality talent. Upon completion of the NFL Alumni Academy at the end of the NFL season, each player will automatically receive an opt-in contract with the XFL. The goal of this partnership is to enhance the entire football ecosystem by extending player cycles and expanding professional playing opportunities that are also complementary with the NFL season and off-season.

"What makes a league successful is its players, which is why we take a holistic approach to player development at the NFL Alumni Academy, ensuring they have skills and resources needed to excel both on and off the field," said Dean Dalton, Executive Director at NFL Alumni Academy. "We are really excited for this strategic partnership with the XFL, which will have a positive ripple-effect across the entire football landscape." Dalton added. "We want to thank our marketing agency, WaV Sports and Entertainment, for bringing The NFL Alumni Academy and XFL together for this unique initiative"

The NFL Alumni Academy develops and trains the top available free-agent football players during the NFL season in preparation to sign an in-season contract with NFL teams looking to replace 500+ active roster players lost each season due to injury. The Academy has successfully placed players on NFL team rosters each season. Entering its third season in 2022, the NFL Alumni Academy is increasing the number of players and expanding the positions welcomed into its program, providing even more players the opportunity to train at the highest level. In addition to providing an elite football training forum, the NFL Alumni Academy offers off-field development opportunities including life skills, cognitive training, and mind-body wellness programs.
