WWE News & Notes 2014: Is Team 3D Heading to the WWE?
Former TNA Wrestling, WWE and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) Tag Team Champions Team 3D, who were recently inducted into TNA's Hall of Fame at the Bound For Glory pay-per-view (PPV), are rumored to be in negotiations with the WWE. PWInsider is reporting that Team 3D and the WWE have been quietly talking about a possible return to the company, where they won the WWE Tag Team Championship a total of 10 times and had their most legendary, classic match against The Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian in a TLC match at WrestleMania 17.
Team 3D, Bully Ray and Devon, whose contracts with TNA has expired recently, have teased that they are headed to New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) to attempt and capture the NJPW Tag Team Championship after saying that they wanted to put NJPW stable, the Bullet Club, through tables at the end of the Bound For Glory show. Doc Gallows (known as Festus/Luke Gallows to WWE fans) and "Machine Gun" Ken Anderson, members of the Bullet Club, currently hold the NJPW titles.
The Hell in a Cell (HIAC) card is slowly taking shape with the co-main events set for next Sunday's event. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose will battle in a Hell in a Cell cage match while Randy Orton goes up against John Cena a similar cage match.
Brie and Nikki Bella finally get in the ring to settle their sibling rivalry with the loser of their match becoming the winner's "assistant" while The Big Show continues his Cold War against Rusev in singles competition. Also on the card, WWE United States Champion Sheamus defends his title against The Miz. With one more Monday Night Raw telecast left until the HIAC PPV, expect a couple more of bouts to be added by the time the event rolls around next week.
