Some folks are waiting for The Rock to come back to WWE. But his daughter may beat him to it.
In a conference call to promote NXT TakeOver: Phoenix, Triple H discussed the possibility of Simone Johnson one day joining WWE’s ranks. And according to The Game, chances look good.
“I know she has ‘the bug’ of the business. She caught the love of it from her father,” said Triple H. “If you were to ask The Rock, there’s nothing like that electricity, that connection he has with people. It all stems from his time in WWE. His love of that is evident. I think she sees that as well. It’s in her blood. If it’s something that she wants to pursue — I know that he is big, like I am, on continuing education and doing everything the right way. I know he believes it’s a wonderful business. I know he would be proud to have her be a part of (the business). Will you see more of her in the future? It would be hard not to see her in the future.”
Simone Johson is still just 17-years-old, but SmackDown Superstar Zelina Vega revealed that Johnson is already training at WWE’s Performance Center.

“We talk about our energy, our ability to get set early and try and beat teams to that, I thought that opening three minutes set the tone. There wasn’t a whistle blown in the first three and a half minutes, both teams had a good crack at each other.”

No better time, then, to step up and have a cut off the other Pro14 finalist.

“(Leinster) are are a great side. They are the side you want to be playing against and coaching against too because it brings the best out of you.

The Tampa Bay Times spoke with WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, while he was in the city for the recent WrestleMania 36 press conference. The event is being held in Tampa Bay, Florida in April 2020. Hogan said he wanted an active role with WWE.
When asked about his future with WWE Hogan stated the following:
“I’m not really sure. I can’t wrestle anymore because nine back surgeries, two fake knees, two fake hips. … I’ve had 17 surgeries in the last ten years. I kinda missed the memo on the ‘fake’ part [of wrestling] … Vince [McMahon] has this master plan. And I don’t mind being the hood ornament, and I don’t mind being the Babe Ruth of the promotion, but Vince is putting together a whole new thing. … I still feel like I’m 20 in my head, but my body’s telling me, ‘Easy, brother.’ I’m not sure what the title is, but hopefully really soon I’ll be back and really, really active.”
WWE reinstated Hulk Hogan into the WWE Hall of Fame in July 2018 in what was retroactively called a “three-year suspension” due to racist remarks he made during a rant that were leaked online.Click Here: Liverpool FC Jersey Sale

ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING VISIT to the Aviva Stadium, a fourth straight loss to Leinster and another defeat on the road this season, Munster must have returned south on Saturday evening wondering how they left this one behind.

Johann van Graan’s side were understandably aggrieved by a number of refereeing decisions which they felt went against them, and the visitors were certainly hard done by during a frenetic inter-pro with plenty of niggle and controversy.

All the pre-match talk had centred on the key battles at out-half and up front, but it turned out the match was won — and indeed lost — down one channel as Keith Earls endured a tough day at the office, and James Lowe proved to be the match-winner.

21 of Leinster’s 30 points came down Earls’ side, and that’s hardly a reflection on the Ireland winger, who, like Lowe, was involved in both of the game’s big talking points, which left van Graan and Munster fuming at referee Ben Whitehouse.

Firstly, Earls was adjudged to have tackled Lowe fractionally early as the Kiwi looked to open the scoring from Jamison Gibson-Park’s offload inside, and Whitehouse dished out a double punishment, as Leinster seized an early 14-0 lead.

And then, the match-defining moment which amounted to a crucial 14-point swing.

Earls appeared to have cut Leinster’s lead to just one score with a breakaway try at the start of the second stanza, but was denied a pivotal try by what was a questionable call, as the officials called it back for a Leinster penalty. The hosts duly took the opportunity, and their good fortune, to strike through the dangerman Lowe.

Munster, for all their efforts and they certainly threw everything at Leinster only to be kept at arm’s length, eventually left empty-handed after Stephen Archer’s needless block on Fergus McFadden allowed Ross Byrne stretch the hosts’ lead to eight points.

Still, there were plenty of positives to take from the performance for van Graan, as his side dominated possession and territory and showed good ambition with ball in hand, the likes of Dan Goggin, Sammy Arnold and Andrew Conway lively and energetic throughout.

“Most definitely,” the South African said, when asked if it was his side’s best away display of the season. “Like I said to the team, a loss is never good enough and we came here to win tonight and we expected from ourselves to win. That’s what we aimed for and we came up short.

“But there’s such a lot of positives from this game. The guys were heads up in there, obviously very disappointed for such a big game and such a brilliant occasion. As a guy coming from a different country I was so proud of what was delivered out there tonight.

“Unfortunately we are pretty disappointed with the result but to answer your question, a massive amount of positives and now coming up against a pretty decent opponent next week and a team that we’ve got a lot of respect for and also in brilliant form. So that was a good test for us tonight.”

The physicality and intensity of the work-out may not have yielded any rewards in the shape of Pro14 points, but ahead of the start of the Heineken Champions Cup next weekend, it was a valuable outing for Munster.

WARM ON THE heels of Joey Carbery making the move to Limerick, it’s been confirmed that his former Leinster team-mate Nick McCarthy will be joining him at Munster next season.

These are two very different deals, however.

Whatever the IRFU says publicly, the union was involved in at least facilitating Carbery’s inter-provincial switch during the summer.

With McCarthy, the IRFU was not involved until giving the final sign-off on the scrum-half’s two-year contract with Munster, as the union would do in the case of any new player signing.

23-year-old McCarthy had a contract extension offer from Leinster on the table but his head was turned by Munster and the prospect of more extensive first-team opportunities with Johann van Graan’s side.

While Leinster’s contract offer underlines that they were keen to keep McCarthy, there is no ill feeling involved as the province understand the player’s personal decision.

With Luke McGrath and Jamison Gibson-Park firmly established as Leinster’s top two scrum-halves, McCarthy’s decision to shift south makes sense.

Gibson-Park is non-Irish-qualified at present, meaning McCarthy is likely to continue to get game time for Leinster over the course of the coming months due to the ‘non-European player’ rule. But that issue disappears next season as the Kiwi scrum-half becomes Ireland-eligible after three years of residency in Dublin.

McGrath is 25 and Gibson-Park is 26, so they’re likely to be around for some time yet.

30 senior appearances for Leinster over the past four years are not to be sneered at, and McCarthy played in the Pro14 semi-final and final, as well as the Champions Cup quarter-final and semi-final last season, but he anticipates those opportunities declining with Gibson-Park’s Irish qualification.

Conor Murray is top dog at Munster, of course, but he will be away with Ireland and his minutes will be managed at times over the course of the coming seasons.

While the re-contracted Neil Cronin will have something to say about it, McCarthy will back himself to get established as next-in-line after Murray at Munster, allowing him to rack up more games than he might have done at Leinster, the hope being to push on for senior international honours with Ireland.

James Hart is set to leave Munster at the end of the season – he is French-qualified and kicks goals, so is likely to interest Top 14 and Pro D2 clubs – in order to ease any potential build-up of scrum-halves.

It’s expected that Alby Mathewson will also have left the province at that stage, whether or not his current four-month deal is extended for the rest of this season.

32-year-old Duncan Williams is out of contract at the end of the campaign and it remains to be seen whether he is kept on the books, but Murray, McCarthy and Cronin will be in the senior scrum-half depth chart next season.

Academy prospect Jack Stafford, the 21-year-old Wexford man, is another option for van Graan moving forward.

As for Leinster, their depth chart takes a blow with McCarthy’s decision to leave. Academy pair Hugh O’Sullivan and Patrick Patterson are highly-rated but have just a single senior cap between them, O’Sullivan coming off the bench against the Dragons last month.

There is a notable gap between those promising halfbacks and the established Gibson-Park and McGrath, although O’Sullivan is regarded as one of the most intelligent players in the Leinster set-up and Patterson is an energetic and exciting presence at nine.

The academy players have shared the starting scrum-half slot over the course of six wins from six in the pool stage of the Celtic Cup in recent weeks, ahead of the final against Scarlets A in Wales on Saturday.

McCarthy’s move to Munster is sure to lead to more complaints about Leinster being too heavily leaned on to provide players to the other provinces.

There is certainly a fair argument to be made there and Munster know better than anyone that their own pipeline needs to be more productive in producing players.

For now, signing McCarthy makes sense. The former Ireland U20 captain already has 30 caps in senior rugby and possesses a great deal of further potential.

Van Graan hasn’t been happy with Munster’s scrum-half situation since arriving as head coach, but is now moving towards a far more satisfactory situation.

Despite some of the possible criticism, inter-provincial transfers are a good thing for Irish rugby – although Leinster are the primary suppliers now.

It has worked the other way around at times in the past, with Munster natives Mike Ross, Eoin Reddan and Sean Cronin becoming key figures at Leinster – albeit with switches elsewhere in between.

Keeping players like McCarthy in the system can only be seen as a positive for Irish rugby and the hope is that others struggling to break into their provinces’ first team can offer something in one of the other three set-ups.

There will be concerns around diluting the identity of each province by bringing in players from outside, but if a province’s identity and culture is weak enough to be threatened by one or two non-native players joining, then it needs to be worked on.

The fact is that homegrown talent will remain the cornerstone of each provincial team and supporters will, for the foreseeable future anyway, have plenty of native players to get behind.

Michael Lowry at Ulster, Dan Goggin at Munster, Colm de Buitléar at Connacht- the homegrown talent continues to come through outside Leinster, albeit at a different rate.

In Munster, van Graan is likely to make further changes to his squad at the end of the season – Ian Keatley, Dave O’Callaghan, Mike Sherry and Alex Wootton are also due to come out of contract in June 2019.

If those players aren’t retained, it will be interesting to see if they can offer value at another province. Irish players playing for the Irish provinces is always something to strive for.

As for McCarthy, he will hope to play a prominent role with Leinster for the remainder of this season before moving to Limerick.

Jordi Murphy went on to be a key man in Leinster’s run to the double after his switch to Ulster was announced last season and while McCarthy has strong competition at scrum-half, he will be keen to deliver something similar for his home province.

BEAUDEN BARRETT TORMENTED wounded Australia yet again as ruthless New Zealand completed a Bledisloe Cup whitewash with a 37-20 victory in Yokohama.

Barrett scored four tries in the second Test at Eden Park, a week after crossing in the first back in August, and the reigning World Player of the Year added one of five tries for the clinical All Blacks at Nissan Stadium.

The world champions ran away with it after going in at the break with a 17-10 lead following tries from Liam Squire and Kieran Read, Sefa Naivalu scoring Australia’s opening try in his first Test since last June just before the interval.

New Zealand overpowered their trans-Tasman rivals in the second half, Barrett scoring an excellent try before Ben Smith and the prolific Rieko Ioane rubbed salt into the wounds by going over either side of an Israel Folau score.

Barrett also showed his class with the boot, finishing with a tally of 17 points as the Rugby Championship winners started their tour with an emphatic win to heap more misery on under-pressure Australia head coach Michael Cheika.

New Zealand finished strongly yet again after a dramatic late win over South Africa last time out, Smith and Ioane scoring with Tolu Latu in the sin bin for lashing out at Codie Taylor 13 minutes from time.

The Wallabies came out firing on all cylinders and almost had a try inside two minutes when Dane Haylett-Petty stretched out but was unable to touch down in the corner.

New Zealand got a grip on the contest and hit the front in clinical fashion, Squire taking an inviting pass from Sonny Bill Williams — playing his 50th Test — to burst through and dot down, with Barrett adding the extras.

Kurtley Beale and Barrett traded penalties, then skipper Read threw a dummy and crashed over as New Zealand caught Australia out by going on the short side from a scrum.
