Wrestling veteran Justin Gabriel recently revealed a past altercation with current star Cody Rhodes. During his stint with WWE (2008-2015), Gabriel squared off against Rhodes multiple times, most notably in early 2012.## On Rene Dupree's podcast, Gabriel recounted a "tiff" with Rhodes that escalated to a physical confrontation. Apparently, Rhodes' creative input led to changes in storylines, which didn't sit well with Gabriel.## "Cody and I had a bit of a disagreement, nothing major," Gabriel clarified. "He changed some storylines with creative, which I wasn't thrilled about. Long story short, we ended up throwing punches. We settled it quickly, though. I doubt he even remembers."## Gabriel described initially mistaking Rhodes' aggression for a joke, leading to a push in self-defense. He then realized the seriousness of the situation, but his laughter further fueled Rhodes' anger. Thankfully, WWE legends Mark Henry and Booker T intervened before things got out of hand.## "I thought he was messing around at first," Gabriel said. "He swung at me, so I instinctively pushed him back. I'm no stranger to a fight, so my reflexes were quick. When I saw he was serious, I panicked a bit. But I just laughed it off, which apparently made him even madder. Luckily, Mark and Booker stepped in before things got ugly." ## This anecdote offers a glimpse into the high-pressure world of professional wrestling, where emotions can sometimes boil over. Fortunately, both individuals moved on without holding grudges. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Hyderabad, February 7 - The anticipation for Telugu superstar Allu Arjun's action drama Pushpa - The Rule is at an all-time high. Directed by Sukumar, the film is the second part of 2021's blockbuster Pushpa - The Rise, also starring Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil in prominent roles. ## Pushpa 2 is gearing up for its massive Pan India release on August 15, 2024, and it seems it won't end there. According to the latest Telugu media reports, Pushpa - The Rule won't be the conclusion of the story as there will be a third part of it as well. ## There have been rumours about the Pushpa 3 for a long time and it seems the reports were true. However, it is learnt that the third part won't start immediately and is expected to take a few years to start rolling due to other commitments of the actor and director. ## Allu Arjun, after Pushpa 2, will most likely team with director Atlee for an action drama film and at the same time, he is also in talks with Trivikram Srinivas and Boyapati Srinu for his next. The actor already has a film with Sandeep Reddy Vanga but that is unlikely to start rolling until the end of 2025. ## Stay tuned...

WWE just announced some special programming changes for next week's NXT and SmackDown, and it all boils down to one word: Elimination Chamber!## Fans attending tonight's NXT taping learned that next Tuesday's show will be a double tap, meaning they'll film both the February 13th and 20th episodes back-to-back. This suggests the February 20th episode won't be live, but pre-recorded.## SmackDown isn't escaping the double-duty treatment either. They'll also be taping both the February 16th and 23rd episodes next week, making the latter one pre-recorded as well. ## It's all to give WWE some breathing room as they head down under for the Elimination Chamber event on February 24th in Australia. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Carmelo Hayes didn't just betray Trick Williams during NXT Vengeance Day, he admitted during his February 6th promo that he was also the culprit behind Williams' backstage attack in October – the one that potentially cost him a championship opportunity at Halloween Havoc. ## While Williams initially harbored suspicions, Hayes cleverly diverted attention, only to deliver the ultimate betrayal when Williams was most vulnerable after his loss to Ilja Dragunov.## Hayes' promo served as a chilling declaration of his true nature. He dismissed any surprise over his actions, claiming he'd always been this way. He mocked Williams' brief reign as North American Champion, justifying his attack as putting him "back in his place."## Further manipulating the crowd, Hayes played Williams' theme song, fueling false hope for revenge before revealing his duplicity.## For now, Hayes basks in his apparent victory. However, the adage of "what goes around comes around" looms large, hinting at potential future consequences for his duplicity. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Liv Morgan's December arrest for possessing marijuana has been officially resolved. Court records confirm the case against her (real name Gionna Daddio) is closed. ## Originally arrested in Florida on charges of possessing a synthetic cannabinoid and marijuana (under 20 grams), the synthetic cannabinoid charge was dropped last month, leaving only the marijuana charge. This charge was transferred to a misdemeanor court due to its lesser severity.## On January 31st, the case concluded with Morgan entering a nolo contendere plea to the marijuana possession charge. This plea means she doesn't formally admit guilt, but accepts punishment. Despite this, she wasn't convicted and only faces a $543 assessment.## The arrest stemmed from a December 14th traffic stop where a sheriff's deputy noticed Morgan's vehicle weaving and detected marijuana upon approaching. A subsequent search discovered a vape pen and a small amount of marijuana.## Notably, WWE didn't take action against Morgan due to the arrest. Currently recovering from a shoulder injury, she made a triumphant return in the Royal Rumble, finishing among the final two competitors before being eliminated by Bayley.## Morgan now faces Zoey Stark in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match on Raw next week. Becky Lynch has already secured a spot in the Elimination Chamber match, where the winner challenges Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 40.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Prosecutors in Orange County, Florida, are pressing forward with criminal charges against professional wrestler Daniel Wheeler, known as Cash Wheeler in AEW, according to PWInsider.## A hearing for the case is scheduled to take place on February 20th, 2024. Wheeler was arrested on August 18th, 2023, on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm. ## The alleged incident occurred on July 27th, and a warrant for his arrest was issued the following day. On August 3rd, Wheeler pleaded not guilty through his attorney in the Orange County Circuit Court. ## Incident report filed by: ## "On July 27, 2023, at 0959 I, Officer M. Bowhay #19932, responded to [REDACTED] in reference to an aggravated assault with a firearm call. Upon my arrival I spoke to the victim, [REDACTED], who provided me with a sworn written/verbal statement that said the following: [Victim] stated he was driving west on Interstate 4 north of Exit 83. He noticed a Jeep Gladiator weaving in and out of traffic honking its horn, so he moved over to the far-right lane to let the Jeep pass. [Victim] said the Jeep took the right shoulder to drive around him on the passenger side of his vehicle. [Victim] looked over and noticed a white male with a beard pointing a black semi-automatic handgun out of the driver's window at him with a strong stare. [Victim] said he feared for his life at this time. [Victim] stated he slowed down to get out of the way of the firearm and ended up behind the suspect vehicle at this time. ## At this time both were committed to exit 83 (Ivanhoe Blvd). [Victim] took pictures of the Jeep as it turned right onto College Park Drive and began to drive reckless. [Victim] said the Jeep beared Florida tag [REDACTED]. After taking the picture, [Victim] said he called 911 and gave the vehicle information to dispatch the details of what occurred. He explained he could not be late for work and asked an officer to meet him at his work [REDACTED]. ## I created a photo line-up using ELVIS (a database used by law enforcement for investigative purposes). Elvis selected five random photos based on the suspect's Florida driver's license picture Page 1 of 2 and put them in a randomized order with the suspect being the sixth picture. Officer Blinn #34211 met with [Victim] and presented him with the photo lineup instructions and the photo lineup. [Victim] quickly selected the correct picture, photo #2, of the suspect, later identified as, Daniel M. Wheeler, W/M D.O.B 5/17/1987 with 100% certainty. (See Officer Blinn's supplement for more details.) Based on [Victim] sworn statement and the positive photo lineup identification, probable cause exist to charge Wheeler with, aggravated assault with a firearm violation of F.S.S. 784.021(1)(A)-1." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Good news for AEW Collision! ## Its latest episode drew in 404,000 viewers, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics. This marks a solid rebound from the 300,000 viewers who tuned in on January 27th. The show also saw growth in the key demographic, scoring a 0.12 rating in the 18-49 age group, up from the previous week's 0.06. ## However, it's worth noting that Collision aired against stiff competition. An NBA matchup between the Lakers and Knicks on ABC attracted a significant audience, pulling in an average of 2.74 million viewers and a 0.71 rating in the 18-49 demo. Additionally, most of Collision's timeslot overlapped with a college basketball game between Tennessee and Kentucky on ESPN, which garnered 2.53 million viewers and a 0.75 rating in the same demographic. ## Despite the competition, Collision's viewership increase is a positive sign. The show managed to attract more viewers and grow its key demographic rating, suggesting that some viewers are tuning back in. However, it remains to be seen whether this upward trend will continue, especially considering the strong competition on Saturday nights. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
