Chris Jericho Leaving WWE Details, WWE Star Returns From Injury!

Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News!
I’m Oli Davis, and I’ll be replying to as many comments on this video as I can.
Last night’s episode of NXT continued the build to NXT TakeOver: Chicago, revealing
who would face Asuka for her Women’s Championship.
Because Asuka decided to beat up the final three women in the No. 1 contenders Battle
Royal main event, William Regal announced that it’ll be a Fatal 4 Way in Chicago,
with Asuka defending against Nikki Cross, Ruby Riot and Ember Moon.
As reported several weeks ago, however, this was the match where Moon appeared to legitimately
injure her shoulder, with fans in attendance saying she was escorted out in tears.
Squared Circle Sirens then reported this was just a storyline injury, but she has since
been spotted wearing a sling - suggesting she really is hurt.
But as WWE’s cruel Injury God potentially taketh away, he also giveth, as last night’s
episode saw Hideo Itami return to the ring for his first match since hurting his neck
last October.
Itami beat Kona Reeves with the GTS, presumably building him for an NXT Championship match
against Bobby Roode.
Summer Rae has been waiting just as long for a WWE return, not appearing on TV since last
July’s draft because of injuries.
She was reportedly at the WWE Performance Center in the weeks before Wrestlemania 33
working to get medically cleared, but she’s still yet to appear back on the main roster.
Summer’s WWE return seems to be edging ever closer, though, where she tagged herself in
Sacramento, California on Instagram earlier this week with the caption ‘Mondays’,
where she was apparently backstage for this week’s Raw.
After Raw got its lowest non-holiday, non-football season rating in 20 years this week, Smackdown
didn’t fare much better, also drawing its lowest rating of 2017 so far with just 2.3
million viewers.
50% of you agreed with me that it was Smack Bang in the Middle, while 40% thought it slightly
better at SmackTastic.
But it’s ok.
I’m sure Smackdown’s newest star Chris Jericho can help turn those ratings around!
Oh yeah, that’s right, he left.
Jericho was seemingly written off WWE TV this week with a brutal post-match attack from
Kevin Owens after The Face of America regained the United States Championship.
It’s been known for months that Y2J would be taking a hiatus from WWE around this time,
because he’s on tour with his band Fozzy throughout May and June to promote their new
single Judas.
Jericho himself now appears to have confirmed his latest WWE run has indeed come to an end,
posting on Facebook: I'll see you all again soon, but in honor
of the amazing run I had over the past 16 months in WWE, I've designed this official
#GOAT shirt as a thanks to you, the Friends Of Jericho!
With a picture of the t-shirt of Jericho - put it on, maaaaaaan.
Usually when Kevin Owens really tries to injure someone, though, it’s with a powerbomb on
the ring apron outside.
But on Tuesday night, KO wrote Jericho off TV with a DDT on the floor.
SEScoops point out that Jericho often pays homage to his favourite wrestling moments
in his own matches, and Tuesday night just happened to be the 30th anniversary of when
Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts wrote Ricky Steamboat off TV for a while with the exact same move.
Y2J is expected to return to the Smackdown brand - not Raw - sometime this year.
Is there backstage heat on a WWE star already for the company’s European tour?
And the brand new episode of WrestleRamble is live, where Luke Owen and I decide which
show was better - Raw or Smackdown?

I’ve been Oli Davis, and that was wrestling.
