Welcome to another edition of the WWE News Daily Roundup where we aim to bring you the biggest and most exciting stories from the world of sports entertainment. In today’s edition, we look at the news surrounding top names such as Goldberg, Ric Flair and Liv Morgan.
The Nature Boy Ric Flair recently opened up about the Rotunda family and details about who former SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan is dating have been leaked. We will also talk about Goldberg and why he didn’t join TNA after leaving WWE after WrestleMania 20. Goldberg was one of the biggest stars in WCW but retired from wrestling after leaving WWE.
3) Why didn’t Goldberg join TNA
Several superstars joined TNA after WCW closed shop in 2001. While some left for WWE, others chose to join other companies, including TNA. Goldberg went to work for Vince McMahon after his contract with WCW expired and was heavily involved with the company. However, he was not happy and decided to leave in 2004. Jeff Jarrett revealed on My world why The Myth didn’t come to TNA:
“Bill made a lot of money in WCW and he made a lot of money in WWE. Bill is a businessman first and foremost. I’ve never considered any conversation with Bill to be significant solely because there’s not enough money for Bill to come.”
There were a lot of rumors that Goldberg would join Impact Wrestling/TNA at the time and give them the star power they needed. However, he decided to stay away from the wrestling ring until 2016, when he returned to the promotion from Stamford.
2) The Godfather signs a new contract with WWE
Former Intercontinental Champion The Godfather, also known as Papa Shango, has signed a new contract with WWE. It will be a five-year deal with the legend and WWE will own the rights to the names The Godfather and Papa Shango while he is under contract. Here’s what he said on Universal wrestling Podcast:
“A few days ago it became public that I applied for patents for ‘Papa Shango’ and ‘Godfather’. (But primarily) just to protect him. Because, you know, he’s going to have it for the next five years, and then it’s going to be open, so I wanted to protect it. For the five years that I’ll have a contract, it’s theirs.”
The 61-year-old Hall of Famer last appeared on the 30th anniversary RAW show a few weeks ago. He was one of the best performers during the Attitude Era and was always loved by the fans whenever he came back for a cameo in the WWE.
1) Ric Flair talks about Liv Morgan and Bo Dallas’ relationship
Hall of Famer Ric Flair talked about The Rotundas on his podcast Being Human. The Rotundas are a famous wrestling family consisting of top superstars such as IRS, Barry Windham, Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt. Flair said he recently met them and accidentally discovered that SmackDown Superstar Liv Morgan was dating Bo Dallas:
”So, he [Barry] is recovering. He’s here in Tampa… He’s out of what they call The Compound. That would be the Bray Wyatt/Mike Rotunda complex. Bo has a bunch of assets out there. Bo is now with Liv Morgan. I mean, are they married? I do not know.”
Bo Dallas has not been seen since being released by the company in 2021. However, many believe that behind the mask of Uncle Howdy is the former RAW Tag Team Champion. Although not confirmed, all signs point to Dallas being Uncle Howdy.
