3) New Name For NXT Superstar
Over the past week, WWE filed a new trademark for the name ‘Karen Kwan’. This was filed at the same time as some other NXT names, so it appears to be for an upcoming NXT Superstar.
There is speculation that this name could be for Karen Q, who has appeared several times on NXT television. She also competed in the second Mae Young Classic.
My Take:
- I liked Karen Q in the Mae Young Classic, so it will be interesting to see if it is for her.
2) Another Jaxson Ryker Update
As noted prior, Jaxson Ryker appeared alongside Elias at the latest taping for WWE Main Event. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, this was a dry run to see if Elias and Ryker had any chemistry with one another.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
There were a lot of surprised people in Orlando at the Thunderdome, as Jaxson Ryker appeared at the tapings with Elias. We’re being told this was a dry run on Main Event to see if the pairing worked, in an effort to pitch the duo to Vince McMahon. Just last week, several on the Smackdown side had noted that “Ryker was not worth the risk of being on television,” and when contacted about Ryker’s appearance, said that WWE is likely gauging reception to the spot.
My Take:
- As I mentioned before, I think that Elias could definitely use a Superstar watching his back. A bodyguard would make sense for his type of musical gimmick. I don’t know if Ryker is the right fit but we will have to wait and see.
