Israel Adesanya's Manager Talks WWE: A Bucket List Item, But Unlikely During Active Competition

Israel Adesanya has reclaimed his position at the summit of the UFC middleweight division, triumphing over his long-standing adversary, Alex Pereira, at UFC 287. ## Adesanya's unwavering aspiration to one day join the ranks of the WWE has been no secret, and he has paid homage to WWE icons in the past through his celebratory gestures and grand entrances. In the lead-up to UFC 287, Adesanya took to Twitter to share the iconic "My Way" video package from WrestleMania 17, which vividly showcased the epic feud between Steve Austin and The Rock. ## Astonishingly, within a mere week of Adesanya's tweet, the WWE made a groundbreaking announcement of their agreement to sell the company to Endeavor and merge with the UFC to form a new publicly traded entity. ## "It's on his bucket list, for sure," Adesayna's manager Tim Simpson told ESPN. "He wants to [do a match]. He's been very disciplined. We've had acting opportunities turned down. He's been very disciplined about being an athlete. Because he knows that's all in his future. So, I can't see him doing it while he's still competing. But in the future? Definitely bucket list." ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Kalisto's NXT Producing Role Confirmed

In a noteworthy development, Fightful Select's report in November 2022 unveiled that Kalisto, a former WWE talent, had been actively engaged at NXT live events for the week, where he had taken on the dual roles of a guest coach and a producer. ## His presence had been felt throughout the WWE Performance Center as he provided invaluable coaching and guidance to the aspiring wrestlers. However, it was during the Friday night live event that Kalisto truly shone, as he had assumed the pivotal role of a producer, overseeing the women's matches with finesse and expertise. ## Furthermore, in an interview with renowned wrestling personality Renee Paquette on The Sessions, Samuray Del Sol confirmed his exciting opportunity to work as a producer for NXT. He enthusiastically shared his experiences and contributions in this esteemed role, shedding light on how he had brought a fresh and dynamic perspective to the wrestling industry. This new chapter in Kalisto and Samuray Del Sol's careers as producers in NXT undoubtedly added a new level of impressiveness to their already illustrious wrestling journeys. ## "I got an opportunity to train as a coach on NXT. Seeing that view from that side, I learned a lot more. I produced two matches. It was great. Me, Terry Taylor, and Norman (Smiley) as producers. From that view, and producing a match, it was great. I learned so much," he said. ## I'm a hands-on person. So when I was in there, I like showing the moves and bumping for them. The stuff they're doing now, it's great. Being on that side of the producing team, it made me realize that if I was producing myself, I would be like, 'Be more happy, jump, do something on this time. Lucha, lucha, right time.' I would correct myself and my timings from the beginning to the end. I would critique myself and see my own self back when I started at NXT and be like, 'Don't be nervous.' I would say to myself, 'More character.' I was screaming, I lost my voice the whole time. I was really excited to work with everybody in NXT." ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

WWE Raw Roster Shake-Up: Travel Issues Cause Major Changes To Monday Night Show

During the opening of Monday Night's Raw, announcer Corey Graves acknowledged that travel issues had impacted the roster's availability for the show. Reports from Sean Ross Sapp and Andrew Zarian had previously revealed that Raw had to undergo significant re-writes due to these travel complications. Dave Meltzer further confirmed that the travel issues had resulted in substantial changes to Monday's show. ## “The changes in tonight's Raw are due to travel issues, not the idea of the script changing,” Dave Meltzer wrote on Twitter. “But a large percentage of the roster wasn't there, some weren't going to make it and others were getting in late so a lot of changes and backup plans were put in place in recent hours.” ## “50% of the Raw roster has still not arrived to Seattle, due to travel issues, and there have been major rewrites for Monday Night Raw this evening,” Zarian wrote Monday afternoon. ## The lineup for Monday's Raw originally included scheduled matches and segments such as the defending champions Becky Lynch and Lita putting their WWE Women's Tag Team titles on the line against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Additionally, there were plans for Matt Riddle to make his return in a match against The Miz, as well as promos from Cody Rhodes and Damian Priest. However, due to the aforementioned travel issues, it is unclear how these plans may have been affected or altered. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
