WWE Superstars Pay Tribute To Antonio “Discovery” Corona Posted By: Dustin Frisch on Feb 22, 2021
WWE Performance Center released a video where Superstars pay tribute to the lucha legend Antonio “Discovery” Corona. He passed from complications due to cancer in May 15th 2020. He was 54 years of age when he passed.
The video stars WWE Superstars like Kalisto, Mustafa Ali, and Joaquin Wilde paying respect to their mentor. Discovery had taught several current wrestlers after he moved to Chicago in the 2000 s.
Discovery did wrestle two matches for WWE in 1997. His group, Los Cadetes del Espacio (The Space Cadets), won a six-man lucha match on the March 24, 1997 RAW show. Then they won an eight-man lucha match on the March 29, 1997 edition of Shotgun Saturday Night.
Bobby Lashley’s desire for the WWE Championship match he was promised by Miz has led to a match on tonight’s Raw…but with Braun Strowman. Tonight’s episode of Raw saw Lashley interrupt Miz’s opening segment to demand that Miz give him the first shot at the WWE Championship, which Miz promised him in exchange for attacking Drew McIntyre last night at Elimination Chamber so that Miz could cash in Money in the Bank.
Lashley gave Miz until the top of the first hour to make his decision. When the time came, Miz said that he wanted a week to prepare for the match. That brought out Strowman, who said he deserved a title match and said that Adam Pearce and Shane McMahon had a vendetta against him. Shane came out and said that Strowman did not deserve the title match, but Strowman suggested a match with Lashley. Shane then made the match and said that if Strowman can beat Lashley, he’ll be added to next week’s WWE Championship match between Lashley and Miz.
