FOX Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier told the press at the Television Critics Association event that the network will have more wrestling programming once Smackdown moves to its property in October of this year.
Calling WWE “great storytellers” that fits beautifully in what they are doing, Collier said to expect more WWE-related programming across their multiple platforms.
“The FOX Sports networks, FS1, and others will have some other wrestling. Not live Smackdown, not Raw, but other ties to the WWE world,” Collier said.
He stopped short of mentioning what kind of programming will be added but when UFC was part of the FOX world, UFC programming dominated the sports channels so it could be that something similar is being done for WWE.
NXT is also rumored to be jumping to FS1 in the future.

According to a report from Pro Wrestling Sheet – Tenille Dashwood could soon become a free agent as her Ring of Honor contract expires at the end of this month.
The site reports that Tenille is currently in negotiations with Ring of Honor to potentially ink a new contract, but as of this week, nothing has been signed.
Dashwood signed on to join Ring of Honor in February of 2018..
If she does not re-sign with ROH she would join Madison Rayne, Karen Q, and Deonna Purrazzo as names who have left ROH’s Women of Honor within the last year.

IRELAND U20 CAPTAIN David Hawkshaw is a major doubt for Friday’s potential Six Nations decider against France (kick-off 19.15).

The centre was on crutches with his knee in a brace as he moved gingerly around the team hotel yesterday evening after suffering a training ground injury.

The Leinster man has already had to show his powers of recovery during this Championsip after suffered an apparently-nasty knee injury during the opening round win over England. However, he managed to shake off the knock and return much sooner than expected as he faced Scotland the following week.

“It’s obviously very difficult to make a diagnosis now so we will just have to wait and see how the rest of the week goes for him.”

McNamara has also been dealt a blow in his prop stocks as Michael Milne was injured in AIL action with UCD. Ryan Lomas is expected to take over his place among the replacement front rows.

A potentially positive shuffle for the squad could come in the formidable shape of second row Ryan Baird. The former St Michael’s totem missed the opening two rounds of the Championship through injury, but has returned to play with Dublin University in recent weeks and could take one of the three lock spots in the matchday 23 against France.

“(Baird) has played two full games and a half for Trinity in the AIL over the last few weeks.

“He needed rugby, that was the long and short of it. He has done well for them. We’ll see how he goes in training this week. He is pushing for involvement, but it is a competitive position. That lads who have been there have done well as has Brian Deeny, who played well for Clontarf at the weekend.”

Ireland go in to the penultimate round of the Championship as the only side still on course for a Grand Slam, though they will face fierce competition from reigning U20 world champions France, who will be intent on erasing the four-point gap between the sides before leaving Cork.

WAITING BEHIND TADHG Furlong in the tighthead pecking order must be doubly frustrating given the Leinster prop’s world-class quality and ability to get through huge shifts on a weekly basis.

Furlong’s immense fitness levels means he has the engine to regularly play 65/70 minutes of a Test match, as opposed to the loosehead side where Joe Schmidt often freshens things up early in the second half, as we saw against France on Sunday.

For John Ryan, this is nothing new and the Cork native has certainly had to be patient for his opportunities at international level, coming in and out of Schmidt’s plans on a regular basis since his debut against Canada in 2016.

His first six caps were all off the bench, cameos rarely exceeding 20 minutes, and it wasn’t until last summer that he was handed a starting opportunity against a top-tier nation, his three previous starts coming against USA and Japan.

Ryan’s fourth start under Schmidt in Brisbane was a big step forward for the 30-year-old, particularly after he had fallen behind Stephen Archer at Munster, and he has now worked his way back into the international fold after missing out on the first two rounds of Six Nations action.

The emergence of Andrew Porter appeared to spell bad news for Ryan’s long-term Ireland prospects but it’s a testament to his work-ethic in training that the Munster man has been able to jump up the depth chart within the championship window.

While Porter was released back to Leinster for Pro14 duty, and then left out of the matchday squads for Italy and France, Ryan has seized his chance as Furlong’s understudy, making strong appearances off the bench in Rome and then again last Sunday.

“From my point of view, when Tadhg is there, whether it’s me or Andrew on the bench, he’s a world-class tighthead and has that engine to go for 65-70 minutes,” Ryan says.

“So it was great to be able to get on for nearly 25 minutes against France and see the pace of the game and get that exposure to international, top-flight rugby.

“It definitely gives me confidence. I’ve been in and out since 2016 so there’s always a battle, you’re always looking over your shoulder. There’s Andrew Porter, Finlay Bealham and there’s further afield as well.

“It’s really competitive at tighthead compared to what it was in previous years so I’m delighted where I am now and hope I can keep the performances up and drive it on.”

Ryan, who recently signed a three-year contract with Munster, is set to be involved again this weekend as Ireland conclude their championship with a trip to Cardiff to face Grand Slam-chasing Wales.

The competition with Archer for the number three jersey at Munster, he says, has helped focus his mind and drive standards on a daily basis, allowing Ryan make improvements in his overall fitness and ball-carrying ability to augment his strong scrummaging quality.

“When you see the likes of Cian Healy and Dave Kilcoyne carrying a lot, it’s something you need to have,” he continues. “You can’t just scrummage, you can’t just do your job in defence, you need to add to my game. I’ve only had a few [carries] in the last two weeks but I feel it has improved a good bit.”

The intensity in training at Carton House has also forced Ryan to raise his game, ultimately contributing to his promotion back into Schmidt’s plans after initially starting the championship behind Porter.

“I can’t speak for Joe, he keeps his cards close enough to his chest, he won’t tell you what you can expect because if you know what’s coming, are you going to put in the same effort as if you don’t know?

“Everyone is putting the effort in and that’s the way it worked out. I don’t know the team for the weekend, I don’t know if I’ll be involved but fingers crossed it’ll stay the way it has been for me.

There was a nice moment for Ryan after Sunday’s win over France, too, when his young son, Felix, joined him on the pitch alongside many of the other players’ children.

“It was nice, it was like a creche on the pitch after the game,” he laughs. “I rarely bring him on, but it was nice to have my son there after the game.”

Now the focus has turned to Wales, Ryan is ready for another opportunity to make an impact off the bench, even if it’s for the final 10 minutes when Furlong’s engine eventually runs out.

Several people in WWE had no idea that NXT’s four top stars were going to debut last night on Raw, and don’t know the plan going forward. According to the latest Wrestling Observer Live, several people last night were in the dark, and some talent in the company are now worried about their positions.
“Vince made this decision in the last couple of days,” said Bryan Alvarez (per Ringside News). “I mean literally, there were people there last night who had no idea why this happened. There were people there last night that had no idea if these people were call-ups.”
He added, “There are a lot of people who don’t know what’s going on. They figure that today during the SmackDown production meeting that everything will be made a little bit more clear, but there’s a lot of people that don’t know what’s going on. So Vince just decides to do things and decides sometimes not to do things.”
Of course, this kind of situation isn’t a huge shock; McMahon has the ultimate control over WWE and he’s always been the decision maker for the main roster.

Otherwise, the Leinster XV is unchanged but there is a return to the bench for Jack Conan after cruelly breaking bones in his feet twice this season. It hadn’t been expected that Conan would return in this campaign, but his ball-carrying ability in reserve is a boost.

The Old Belvedere man joins the likes of Sean Cronin, Zane Kirchner and Ian Madigan – set for his final game at the RDS before joining Bordeaux this summer – on the bench.

Meanwhile, Ulster are completely unchanged from their victory over the Ospreys on the final day of the Pro12 regular season. Indeed, Les Kiss is fielding the same side that beat Leinster 30-6 in Kingspan Stadium last month.

Chris Henry will win his 150th Ulster cap at openside flanker.

14. Dave Kearney

WALES HAVE CONFIRMED George North will miss the remainder of their tour of New Zealand due to the hamstring injury he suffered in Saturday’s first Test.

North pulled up in the second half of Wales’ 39-21 defeat in Auckland and had to be helped from the field in clear discomfort.

It had been feared the British and Irish Lions wing would play no further part in the matches against the All Blacks and that news has now been confirmed.

A statement from the Welsh Rugby Union read: “George North has been ruled out of Wales’ tour of New Zealand and has been released from the squad.”

The WRU called up versatile back Rhys Patchell and teenage winger Keelan Giles on Saturday, amid concerns over the fitness of North and Gareth Anscombe, who took a knock to the hip at Eden Park.

Wales face New Zealand again in Wellington next Saturday, with Dunedin hosting the third and final Test the following weekend.
