Inside: WWE omits Dean Ambrose
TOP STORIES TODAY
In May last year, Lilian Garcia made a one-off return on an episode of RAW. Garcia signed with WWE a few months later and is now working again as a ring announcer for the Stamford-based promotion.
Garcia recently had a chat with Chris Van Vliet and discussed several topics. As per Garcia, Triple H was elated when she asked him if she could come by and meet her friends in WWE during RAW.
 WWE omits Dean Ambrose On WWE RAW, CM Punk cut a promo on Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins ahead of their Triple Threat match at WrestleMania 41. The Second City Saint reminded everyone he brought Reigns and Rollins into the business. He said he couldn't wait to be the one to take both of them out of it. A few moments later, Michael Cole name-dropped The Shield on commentary but didn't mention Dean Ambrose. This came as a surprise since The Voice of WWE mentioned the former Shield member on the red brand a few weeks ago. It is possible that Michael Cole omitted Jon Moxley because he serves no purpose in the ongoing storyline between CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins. However, a subtle Dean Ambrose reference would have amped up the feud between these men, given The Straight Edge Superstar was the brainchild of The Shield. |  Stephanie's Place is set to premiere on ESPN+ today. McMahon's new ESPN Original Series will follow her over 10 episodes, visiting areas of America that helped shape top WWE Superstars. The first episode will touch on CM Punk's WWE return, featuring the Chief Content Officer. McMahon's new series went viral earlier when it was revealed that the premiere will feature Triple H and Stephanie having a must-see candid conversation about Punk. The Voice of The Voiceless is seen having his own talk with Vince McMahon's daughter in a new clip seen below. The segment opens up with Punk discussing his growth since the previous run. He asked the mom-of-three if she was ready to be a mother. |
FROM THE RUMOR MILL
Michael Oku is one of the most acclaimed wrestlers on the independent circuit today. The 31-year-old British star is considered Will Ospreay's successor in RevPro and currently holds the promotion's Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship in his second reign. He's also competed in NJPW and CMLL, giving him a wealth of experience across the wrestling industry.
Oku has not technically competed in an AEW program, but he has challenged for one of the promotion's titles. He faced MJF for the American (International) Championship at RevPro Summer Sizzler 2024 in the lead-up to All In. The young star has plenty of connections in Tony Khan's company, but he remains primarily on the UK indie scene for now.WWE is reportedly holding a tryout on March 30 during its European tour, but according to Fightful Select, several sources have indicated that Michael Oku is highly unlikely to be invited despite his talent and profile.
