Chairshot Wrestling Shuffle: Becky, Ciampa, Ronda and More! (3/1/2019)
News Here! Commentary on Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, Ciampa Injury and more!
Jason shuffles in to your Chairshot Wrestling News Shuffle with commentary on Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, Ciampa Injury and more!

Tommaso Ciampa Reportedly Injured
This week on SmackDown Live, Tommaso Ciampa was advertised to wrestle Cesaro, however the match didn’t occur as Ciampa has been dealing with an injury. PWInsider is reporting that the injury appears to be a neck injury which may keep him out for an extended period of time. This could affect the upcoming Dusty Rhodes Classic.
Jason’s Take
PWInsider is usually pretty accurate with their news. Hopefully Ciampa is able to recover soon, because there appears to be big things planned for him since his NXT callup. Don’t forget, he is also the current NXT champion.
Roman Reigns To Wrestle At Fastlane?
Many fans were speculating what Roman Reigns would announce when he returned to RAW on Monday. Many were wondering if he would be returning to action at WrestleMania. Amazingly, it looks like he will be returning at the Fastlane pay per view. The Q Arena in Cleveland, Ohio is advertising Reigns and Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley in a 2-on-3 handicap match for WWE Fastlane.
Jason’s Take
Wow. In speaking with one of the our daily visitors on Monday, I speculated that Reigns would return to start a foundation to raise money for Leukemia awareness and thought fans should temper their expectations to let the man recover. Never could I have imagined Reigns would be stepping back into the ring so quickly. Regardless of what you think of him as a wrestler, for him, and the fans, this is great news!
Madison Rayne Released From ROH
Long time IMPACT Knockout Madison Rayne has been released from Ring Of Honor. PWInsider reports that she was unhappy with her creative direction, but the split is mutual.
Jason’s Take
If Madison Rayne continues to wrestle, I wouldn’t be surprised if she ended up in AEW. AEW could use her veteran presence on the roster. I know how everyone hates the “XXXXX is going to AEW!” news, but Rayne to AEW would actually make sense.

Jason’s Take
To be honest, I do not watch much if any IMPACT Wrestling. Gasp! From what I have watched recently, her storylines with Allie have been entertaining.
Rousey/Lynch Social Media Feud Continues
Cageside Seats has a breakdown of all of the Tweets issued today between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch. They include Lynch insulting Rousey’s husband, and Rousey calling Lynch by her real name, threatening to inflict harm on her the next time they meet.
Jason’s Take
The feud and potential match between Lynch and Rousey will be the biggest female fronted match the WWE has had in it’s history. But let’s be honest, this Twitter feud, whether it is a shoot or a work is a bit much. In all honesty, it is a bit of a turn off for the feud/match itself. If WWE wanted compelling TV, give these two an open mic on a RAW to say whatever it is they wanted to. Scratch that. Rousey would screw that up somehow.

TNA Impact on AMC Drops to 175,000 Viewers, 0.03 18-49 Rating Amid Heavy Sports Competition
TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 175,000 viewers on AMC last week, a 17.5% decline from the previous week’s 212,000 and the lowest audience since January 22. The show posted a 0.03 rating in the key 18-49 demo, down 25% and matching its lowest demo figure on AMC since the move.
The drop coincided with stiff competition — Impact ran opposite the NFL Draft (simulcast on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network) as well as NHL and NBA playoff coverage, leaving the program tied for 70th on the primetime cable charts. Versus the prior 10-week average (0.04 rating and 240,300 viewers), last week’s show fell 25% in the demo and 27.2% in overall viewers.

Nick Hogan Open to Pursuing In-Ring Career After Viewing Hulk Hogan: Real American
Nick Hogan told the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast that after watching the final version of Hulk Hogan: Real American he’s more open than ever to stepping into the ring if the opportunity presents itself. Hogan said he’s been knocking off ring rust, is in good shape and “would absolutely welcome” the chance to pursue an in‑ring career, and noted the docuseries — which premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2026 — helped clarify his father’s legacy.
He also praised the series for pulling back the curtain on the many facets of Hulk Hogan, from character work to charitable efforts, saying it showed how dynamic a person his father is. Nick added that the long-discussed Chris Hemsworth biopic from 2019 remains a possibility despite delays, as the documentary continues to renew interest in Hogan’s story.
