War Machine Debut, News on a WrestleMania Match, Plans for Draft

WWE officially confirmed that one of the most hard-hitting tag teams on the planet today signed with the company earlier this year. Raymond Rowe and Hanson of War Machine will be joining the NXT roster soon enough but have yet to be featured on TV aside from a quick cameo appearance at NXT Takeover: Philadelphia. The two did recently come out for a promo at an NXT live event, but they have now just had their first match in NXT. The two wrestlers made an significant debut by winning their very fist match in WWE by defeating the team of Adrian Jaoude and Cezar Bononi. Perhaps we’ll see War Machine on NXT sooner rather than later.

By now most wrestling fans have learned that Daniel Bryan was officially cleared to return to the ring by WWE doctors earlier this week. Several fans have speculated that he now will team up with Shane McMahon to face Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome four years after winning the WWE Championship in the same building. Bryan Alvarez recently stated on Wrestling Observer Live that there are indeed plans for the tag team match to take place at the event in New Orleans, but he also stated that the match could be made a street fight or an unsanctioned match. This match is expected to be Bryan’s first match back with WWE.
Raw Superstar Sheamus recently stated that he had been hearing rumors of another Draft/Superstar Shakeup show taking place soon after WrestleMania. Sure enough, new reports have indicated that WWE is planning to host another Draft in just a few weeks. A new report given during the Wrestling Observer Radio show states that the show will likely be taking place on the Raw and Smackdown shows right after this year’s WrestleMania on April 7th. If WWE does decided to hold off on doing the show right after WrestleMania, the event will likely only be bumped to the Raw and Smackdown shows taking place the following week. Either way, the Superstar Shakeup will be coming back very soon.
