Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega once coexisted together peacefully as members of the Bullet Club, but their relationship has taken a dramatic turn in recent weeks and the two will now be facing each other later on this year. Kenny Omega had been the leader of the popular New Japan Pro Wrestling stable for quite some time, but it looks like Omega may have just lost his position as the group’s frontman to Cody. Rhodes addressed the tension in the group during a recent show at Korakuen Hall by stating that the “Bullet Club is fine. Bullet Club is mine.” This would seem to indicate that not only has Rhodes replaced Omega as the group’s leader, but Omega may be removed from the Bullet Club entirely.

Another potentially historic show set to take place later on this year is the “All In” event that is being run and financed by Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks. The Bullet Club members are aiming to successfully finance and fill up an arena which can hold over 10,000 people in the fall. Rhodes confirmed last month that the show will be taking place on September 1st, but a location for the show was not announced. Per the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it’s appears as though the show will be hosted in Chicago, Illinois. The location of the event is interesting given the recent teases from former WWE Superstar and Chicago native CM Punk. Hopefully, the location will be announced officially very soon.
One of the true standouts in WWE’s Mae Young Classic tournament last year was Bianca Belair. She has since appeared on NXT television in recent weeks and has gotten some quick, dominant, and decisive wins too. Unfortunately, it looks like Belair could be forced to take some time off for a recent injury that she has just received. Belair seemed to have injured her neck during the ending of a recent match between herself and Ember Moon at an NXT live event. Belair kicked out of the Eclipse by accident and the pinfall was counted anyway. Fans in the attendance say that the ending of the match came out of nowhere and that Belair apparently had to be helped to the back.

No, she was not booked to kick out of Eclipse on a house show

Because it’s my job to ask. She wasn’t supposed to kick out

@davemeltzerWON Bianca Belair looks hurt. She kept grabbing her neck. Match against Moon ended strangely, and abruptly. Belair left via a side exit with a couple of staffers beside her
