Breaking News: NXT's Aloisa Already Gone from WWE?

When it was announced that NXT season 3 would be an all Diva's season, the immediate thought was that there may be less interest in the season.  The Diva's aren't pushed as much else but filler these days, unlike the past when the Diva's could main event once in awhile.  But then the announcement that a 6'9 amazon would be part of the season really stirred up interest.  "Aloisa" aka "Isis the Amazon" on the indy scene, was the first really non cookie cutter diva that WWE has signed in years.  Chyna got over for being different, but since her there has pretty much been a template WWE follows with Diva's.  Now the chance to see a 6'9 giant diva pummeling the competition was an interesting thought.

Sadly, it looks like all of that is over before everything begins.  Out of the blue earlier today, WWE removed all pics and mentions of Aloisa from wwe.com, and later posted a message saying her NXT pro Vickie Guerrero had "fired her" and will be debuting a new protege this Tuesday.  The only guess here is that WWE jumped the gun with Aloisa, and she was nowhere near ready to be in the ring.  Reports have said that she was still very green on the indy scene, and it's possible WWE chose to throw her in the mix based on her look alone.  We will update this if any further details on the reasoning for Aloisa's removal become clear.

WWE Rumors

Video: The NXT Army Invades FCW

Yesterday we reported that the NXT army invaded FCW, and now there is a video of the events that took place involving Christian, The Miz, Heath Slater, Daniel Bryan, and eventually the rest of the NXT season 1 army. The Miz came off as a super face here and the crowd loved it, so if he ever turns face on RAW he will no doubt be way over. This was very well done and will hopefully air on RAW this Monday. The NXT group looks like it is already gaining a following, and the fans are loving this angle:

The nXt Invasion Has Begun!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've been excited to write about an angle that WWE has produced. RAW is just about the same thing every week, one big commercial for the next PPV, and the guys in the main event stand there looking at each other and holding up belts. Well not this week. WWE gave us a 3 hour viewers choice special, which was an OK change, but nothing earth shattering. The stuff they did with the A-Team was descent and the surprise appearances by legends like Roddy Piper and Dusty Rhodes always add to the show in my opinion. For the main event, viewers were given the opportunity to choose John Cena's opponent for the night, between Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, or Jack Swagger. Mysterio was the obvious choice, being by far the most popular, and just about every other viewers choice for the night went as expected. So the first surprise was that CM Punk was selected as the opponent. Whether it was Punks hardcore ROH type fan following, or whether WWE wanted it that way who knows. So it looked like we would get Cena winning, and probably facing off with his ppv opponents....but that's when things got interesting.

Enter Wade Barret (NXT season one winner,) who earlier had cut a promo saying that by this time next week, everyone would be talking about the accomplishment he would achieve that had never been done. So it looked like Barrett would challenge Cena, and step right ino the main event picture. This is when all hell broke loose. Suddenly we see other members of NXT season 1 appearing from the crowd all over the arena. Before we knew it, the NXT roster was jumping CM Punk, John Cena, the referee, Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole, ring announcers, Matt Stryker......EVERYone. The riot scene continued as the NXT group destroyed the ring and everything around it. The angle was great.....the crowd was genuinely concerned as Cena got his ass kicked by every member of the crew. It all seemed natural and real......a lost art in today's wrestling. Bodies were lying everywhere, as Wade Barrett stood tall with the NXT Army, as the whole group were brought to the next level in 1 segment. Daniel Bryan even spat in Cena's face after continuously yelling "I'm better than you!" The realism first used in the Michael Cole/Daniel Bryan feud was maximized here, as you had a group of legit pissed off guys deciding to take a stand and become stars on their own, not due to a joke of a game show.

Not since the nWo days have I seen such a segment that really got the people like this did......maybe the stars used weren't on the same level of Hogan/Hall/Nash.......but the impact with this can still be huge if WWE does this right being it is being done with a group of young guys. If WWE can run this as an invasion angle, with the NXT group lead by Barrett......then Barrett can definitely use it to step right into the title picture. And if WWE is now seeing that realistic serious angles like this are what people want, they are right. Give us a choice, don't force us to love Cena, we don't. Give us a group of rebels who won't take no for an answer, and if you tell them no they will kick youur ass and destroy the arena. WWE gets the first big thumbs up from me in years on this one.

Is Chris Jericho Afraid?

How do you know if you are the best in the world at what you do? You win the World heavyweight Championship. That is a feat Chris Jericho has done several times, proving to the world that he is the greatest, at least for the time being. In the WWE the World Champion always has to keep looking over his shoulder because someone is coming to try and prove that they are better and take your title.



Current NXT superstar and newcomer to the WWE, Daniel Bryan, has Jericho running scared. Who is Daniel Bryan? That is what the WWE Universe is asking.



Bryan started wrestling in his backyard before attending the Texas Wrestling Alliance, wrestling school run by the Heart Break kid Shawn Michaels. Daniels went on to work for Memphis Championship Wrestling, a WWE Developmental territory until the companies parted ways. Daniel continued to work, even jobbing to guys on Velocity and Heat.



Daniel Bryan was named the "Founding Father" of Ring of Honor. He headlined the promotions debut show in a three way match with Low ki and Christopher Daniels. In September of 2005, Bryan won the Ring of Honor World Championship by defeating James Gibson at Glory by Honor IV.



Ring of Honor announced on August 23, 2009 that Bryan had signed a contract with the WWE. He was sent to Florida Championship Wrestling, a developmental territory in January of the following year, until being called up to NXT.



On the inaugural NXT show on February 23, 2010, Daniel Bryan took the World Champ to the limit in an awesome match that saw the newcomer tap out to the Walls of Jericho. During the match, Bryan hit a suicide dive from the ring to the floor onto Jericho, but he crashed into the announcers table injuring his ribs. The match may have had a different outcome if that didn't happen. That has to be in the back of Jericho's mind.



The next week on NXT, the World Champ showed he was intimidated by the newcomer by attacking him after his match. Bryan lost to fellow NXT Rookie Wade Barrett, then was once again put into the Walls of Jericho. Chris is trying to squash his competition before he has a chance to take his title.



Will Daniel Bryan be able to overcome his rib injury and if given another opportunity to step in the ring with Chris Jericho, could he beat him. The WWE Universe will have to wait and see if this rookie has what it takes to compete in the WWE.
