    NJPW Tag Team Invades AEW Dynamite (Video)

    Former IWGP Tag Team Champions have invaded AEW.

    During the May 25 episode of Dynamite, FTR put the ROH Tag Team Championships up for grabs against Roppongi Vice. The match did not end with a decisive winner.

    That’s because Jeff Cobb and Great-O-Khan of the United Empire interfered and attacked both teams. The referee waved off the match but NJPW’s fierce tag team wasn’t done.

    Cobb powerbombed Dax Harwood through a table, while Great-O-Khan slammed Trent Beretta through a table with the Iron Claw slam.

    By the end of the chaos, the United Empire members held up the ROH Tag Team Titles.

    This is the first true hint at what could be in store for the AEWxNJPW Forbidden Door PPV set for June 26.

    AEW President Tony Khan was as fired up as ever before the go-home show for Double or Nothing.

    The May 25 episode of Dynamite is a special one for AEW.

    Not only is it the final Dynamite episode before the DoN PPV event, but it also marks the three-year anniversary for AEW.

    SEScoops’ Mike Chin was in attendance for the show and he captured footage of Tony Khan expressing gratitude to fans inside the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, NV.

    Khan told the crowd how important it was for the three-year anniversary show to be held in Las Vegas since this was the location where it all began.

  • AEW Recently Had Talks With Killer Kross (Report)

    AEW Recently Had Talks With Killer Kross (Report)

    AEW reportedly tried to have Killer Kross appear on Dynamite but it didn’t pan out.

    The promotion has been running an in-depth storyline involving MJF and his former bodyguard Wardlow.

    On the May 4 episode of Dynamite, MJF had a mystery opponent for Wardlow. It ended up being W. Morrissey of IMPACT Wrestling.

    Wardlow ultimately picked up the win.

    Failed Talks

    Kross Scarlett
    Killer Kross & Scarlett Bordeaux

    Fightful is reporting that AEW initially wanted that spot to be for Killer Kross.

    The report notes that the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement. It’s been said that Kross expressed concern over the creative direction.

    His main issue was the feeling that debuting in the promotion without his wife, Scarlett Bordeaux, would’ve been no different than how he was treated on WWE’s main roster.

    The report also mentions that the two sides are still open to doing business down the line.

  • Britt Baker Sounds Off on Sasha Banks-WWE Controversy

    Britt Baker Sounds Off on Sasha Banks-WWE Controversy

    Britt Baker and Sasha Banks would be on a collision course if the doctor had her way.

    Sasha and Naomi have taken the wrestling world by storm following their recent actions. The two walked out of the May 16 episode of Monday Night Raw over creative differences.

    They were the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions but placed their titles on the desk of John Laurinaitis and left the building. They had been booked for a six-pack challenge.

    WWE has suspended Sasha Banks and Naomi indefinitely.

    Britt Baker vs. Sasha Banks?

    During an interview with Forbes, Britt Baker said she’s aware that Sasha has been trending and would have no problem sharing the ring with her.

    “Since it’s a pretty hot topic right now, I’m going to say Sasha Banks.… I think she is one of the top draws in all of WWE. She’s such a superstar, she’s such a good wrestler,” Baker said.

    “She’s definitely somebody that I would love to wrestle.”

    – Britt Baker on Sasha Banks

    It’s been said that the Sasha-Naomi situation with WWE is only going to get worse.

    On WWE TV, the company has publicly blasted its former Women’s Tag Team Champions.

    WWE has had both Michael Cole and Corey Graves call the duo “unprofessional” and say that they let down millions of fans.

  • WWE SmackDown Superstar Receives Minor Name Change

    WWE SmackDown Superstar Receives Minor Name Change

    WWE has made a small alteration to the name of a SmackDown talent.

    The company introduced Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser to the main roster back in April. Kaiser has served as Gunther’s manager.

    WWE has already made a change to Kaiser’s first name but it’s quite minor.

    Instead of “Ludwig,” he’ll now be referred to as Ludvig Kaiser. The switch has been spotted on the WWE.com roster page.

    This is perhaps the least egregious WWE name change we’ve seen in some time. The company has been known to make drastic changes to how characters are named when called up from the NXT brand.

    Gunther is actually a prime example. He had gone by his real name, Walter, on the indies and on NXT before being called up to the SmackDown roster.

    The good news for fans of Gunther is that his character and in-ring presence have remained the same.

    It seems WWE is gearing up for a program with Gunther and WWE Intercontinental Champion Ricochet.

  • Lex Luger’s Mother Passes Away

    Lex Luger’s Mother Passes Away

    Former two-time WCW Champion Lex Luger has shared some unfortunate news.

    Luger has taken to his Twitter account to reveal that his mother passed away this morning (May 25).

    “My dear sweet precious mom entered into heaven early this morning. Please join me in celebrating a remarkable life well lived. I love you mom. I will see you again. Thank you Jesus!!!”

    “John 14:1-4.”

    It’s safe to say that Luger made his mother proud given the career he had.

    As mentioned, he captured the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice. He also had a two-year run with WWE.

    While Luger didn’t make too many within WWE happy at the height of the Monday Night Wars, jumping ship to WCW, the two sides are at a much better place now.

    Luger has appeared in several WWE video games, last being featured on WWE 2K19.

    Luger has yet to enter the WWE Hall of Fame but Jim Ross and Mick Foley have called for his induction.

    We at SEScoops send our condolences to Lex Luger and his family.

  • Another WWE Star Likely Undergoing Gimmick Change

    Another WWE Star Likely Undergoing Gimmick Change

    ‘Tis the season for gimmick changes.

    It looks like another WWE superstar will be getting a massive change. It had already been reported that discussions for a change in character for Madcap Moss were held.

    As it turns out, now an NXT star will be getting that same treatment but he won’t be going to the main roster just yet.

    Giovanni Vinci Is Fabian Aichner?

    Since Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser made their main roster debuts, Fabian Aichner has seemingly been the odd man out. He has not been called up to the SmackDown roster and it looks like his days with Gunther and Kaiser are over.

    During the May 24 episode of NXT 2.0, a vignette aired introducing the Giovanni Vinci character.

    Speculation has run rampant that this will be a gimmick change for Fabian Aichner. Aichner hasn’t been seen on WWE TV since April 5.

    It’s been reported by WrestlingNews.co that WWE has talked about dropping aspects of Aichner’s character when he was a member of The Imperium.

    Sasha Banks may be off WWE TV for the foreseeable future but she will be staying busy.

    “The Boss” and Naomi were scheduled to perform in a six-pack challenge on the May 16 episode of Raw. They ended up walking out of the show due to creative differences.

    It’s been said that the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions weren’t happy with how the division was being presented.

    PWInsider reported that Naomi was expected to challenge Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship at Hell in a Cell on June 5.

    Sasha would’ve challenged Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women’s Title.

    Both Sasha and Naomi were expected to lose those singles title matches.

    As a result of their actions, Sasha Banks and Naomi have been suspended indefinitely.

    New Project

    Sasha’s cousin, legendary rapper Snoop Dogg, recently spoke to Logan Paul on his Impaulsive podcast.

    During the show, Snoop Dogg’s son Cordell Broadus revealed that Sasha is possibly working on some NFTs.

    Alexa Bliss Turns To Police After Creep Threatens Her Life

    WWE superstar Alexa Bliss has been threatened by a deranged fan online and she has turned in threatening messages to the authorities.

    Bliss has been on the receiving end of some alarming messages from lunatics in the past. At one point, she even stepped away from social media after some were constantly bashing her over her relationship with now-husband Ryan Cabrera.

    Things have gotten far worse as Instagram user, jpeak5402, has been sending concerning comments on Alexa’s Instagram page.

    Alexa revealed that the user sent people DMs threatening to shoot her and her husband. Alexa Bliss said that she has turned in those DMs to the police.

    Despite this, the fan continues to go unhinged on social media:

    “@alexa_bliss_wwe_ got you on that hush mode now hahahaha

    “@alexa_bliss_wwe_ so you can’t stop me there what you going to do put an restraining order on me that’s not goin to work cause you can’t do that sweetheart nice try tho

    “@alexa_bliss_wwe_ I’m still going to talk to your ex matt [Buddy Matthews] you can’t stop me to talk to him hell he has a better woman than you and you can’t stop that

    “@alexa_bliss_wwe_ plus for your information I took my daughter bliss stuff including that dumb ass doll of yours I burned everything of your merchandise my daughter doesn’t know and you can’t stop that I should I have sent you the video hahahaha”

    This isn’t the first time a woman on the WWE roster has had to deal with some creep online.

    Sonya Deville had a stalker situation where a man, Phillip A. Thomas, entered her home with a knife, plastic zip ties, duct tape, and mace.

    NXT 2.0’s Nikkita Lyons Suffers Injury, Pulled From Breakout Tournament

    It appears an injury will be keeping Nikkita Lyons sidelined for now.

    WWE announced that Lyons had been removed from the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament due to an undisclosed injury.

    At this time, it isn’t known if the injury is legit or a part of a storyline.

    Taking the place of Lyons was Fallon Henley, who collided with Tiffany Stratton.

    “BREAKING: With @nikkita_wwe suffering an injury, @FallonHenleyWWE will now take on @tiffstrattonwwe TONIGHT in the Women’s #NXTBreakout Tournament!”

    Stratton ended up defeating Henley to move onto the finals of the Breakout Tournament. She will meet Roxanne Perez in the final match of the tourney.

    Earlier this month, Dave Meltzer reported that WWE management is high on Nikkita Lyons. Company officials see big potential in her as she’s already garnered a sizable social media presence.

    Buff Bagwell “Shocked” At How “Bad” Vince McMahon Has Looked With Age

    Buff Bagwell has respect for Vince McMahon but he’s stunned by how the WWE Chairman has aged.

    There’s no doubting that Vince has built a global empire. For decades, McMahon has been very hands-on with the WWE product.

    Today, WWE is quite lucrative and has been able to snag massive broadcast deals.

    Father time eventually gets to us all, however. Vince will be turning 77 years old in August.

    Speaking to Steve Fall from NBC Sports Boston’s Ten Count podcast, Buff Bagwell expressed his belief that Vince McMahon is looking rough these days.

    Bagwell took notice of Vince’s appearance when he raised Theory’s hand after he defeated Finn Balor to capture the WWE United States Championship.

    “God dang, brother. I hate to even say this but it was shocking how bad Vince looked. It shocked me, bro. I am a — there’s nothing on any video out there in the world that’s got me dogging out Vince McMahon.

    “Never would, never will.

    “He is a genius that has run the WWF into the WWE. How can you possibly say anything bad about a billionaire that built the WWF? You can’t but he looked rough, man and I hated it.

    “I don’t want him to get old cause that means I’m getting older.”

  • WWE Superstar Sticks Up For Naomi Amid Suspension

    WWE Superstar Sticks Up For Naomi Amid Suspension

    One former World Heavyweight Champion in WWE is showing his support for Naomi.

    Sasha Banks and Naomi are the talk of the wrestling world after walking out of the May 16 episode of Raw.

    The two had creative differences over the direction of WWE’s women’s tag team division.

    Naomi and Sasha were the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions but they left the gold on the desk of John Laurinaitis and exited the building.

    As a result, WWE has suspended both of them indefinitely and has vacated the tag titles.

    Dolph Ziggler Takes A Stand

    In the midst of the tense situation, Dolph Ziggler posted an image of himself with Naomi and stuck up for her when a notorious troll claimed he was defending unprofessionalism.

    “Don’t unsolicitedly, tell people what to do.”

    WWE has pulled all online merchandise for Sasha Banks and Naomi. The company took things a step further, saying that both of them disappointed millions of WWE fans during the May 20 episode of SmackDown.

    The promotion took even more shots at Naomi and Sasha on the May 23 episode of Raw.

    While fans have given Michael Cole and Corey Graves flak for their remarks on Sasha and Naomi, it’s important to note that they’re simply relaying what is being told to them.

    Bryan Alvarez recently took to Wrestling Observer Live to report that WWE currently has no creative plans for a Sasha and Naomi return.

    WrestleVotes also reported that the situation is expected to get worse.

  • WWE Fires Another Shot At Sasha Banks & Naomi

    WWE Fires Another Shot At Sasha Banks & Naomi

    WWE has once again taken aim at Sasha Banks and Naomi.

    The former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions were suspended indefinitely after they walked out of the May 16 episode of Raw mid-show. Some rumors have disputed WWE’s claim that the two actually left during the show.

    On the May 20 episode of WWE SmackDown, Michael Cole said that Sasha and Naomi let everyone down during the suspension announcement.

    More Shots Fired

    WWE

    Many believe that WWE poured gas on the fire by taking shots at its former Women’s Tag Team Champions. They were already suspended and stripped of the titles and have had their merchandise pulled.

    That isn’t enough for WWE as the company took even more shots at them during the May 23 episode of Raw.

    Here’s what Corey Graves said during the broadcast.

    “Last week it was the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship and the then Women’s Tag Team Champions Sasha and Naomi would leave during the broadcast of Monday Night Raw.

    “Walked out of the arena during the show and Nikki ASH and Doudrop were actually scheduled to be part of the six-pack challenge main event.

    “Sasha Banks and Naomi would relinquish their Championships and disappointed the WWE Universe in the process.”

    As journalist Scott Fishman points out, fans should remember these shots are not coming from Corey Graves himself.

    Former AEW Star Now Open For Indie Bookings

    A former AEW star, whose contract recently expired, is now taking independent bookings.

    Stu Grayson, formerly of The Dark Order, is making a return to the indies. He announced that he’s open for business in a Twitter post.

    “This is my official announcement that starting today, I will start taking bookings. If you require my services to wrestle & do meet & greet please contact me through this email bookstugrayson@gmail.com.

    “I’m back, spread the word.”

    It’s become a theme for AEW to allow contracts to expire for wrestlers they no longer wish to use. In Stu’s case, however, things were different.

    Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer reported that AEW was in negotiations with Stu Grayson but the two sides couldn’t reach a new deal.

    Grayson was an AEW original, debuting for the promotion back in May 2019.

    He was with The Dark Order through the bad, the good with Brodie Lee, and the lowest of lows when Brodie passed away.

    What Happened After May 23 WWE Raw Went Off The Air

    The May 23 episode of WWE Raw is in the books but some important movement took place after the USA Network airing.

    In the main event of Raw, Asuka took on Becky Lynch in a rematch. The stipulation was that if Becky won, then she’d be added to the Raw Women’s Title match at Hell in a Cell on June 5.

    Asuka ended up accidentally kicking Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair in the head, causing a distraction. Asuka almost got counted out but it didn’t matter as Becky rolled up Asuka for the pinfall.

    It’ll now be Belair vs. Asuka vs. Becky at Hell in a Cell.

    MVP’s Stipulation Revealed After Raw

    Fans also witnessed MVP defeat Bobby Lashley thanks to interference from Omos. As a result, MVP got to lay down the stipulation for Lashley vs. Omos at Hell in a Cell.

    Before MVP could get a word out, however, Lashley got him in the Hurt Lock.

    When the show went off the air, WWE held its Raw Talk show. During the show, MVP announced that it’ll be him and Omos vs. Bobby Lashley in a handicap match.

    Corey Graves Teases Joining The Judgment Day

    The Judgment Day has been trying to find its next member and Corey Graves is considering joining the faction.

    The faction is led by Edge and he’s aligned himself with Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley. The group is currently in a feud with AJ Styles, Finn Balor, and Liv Morgan.

    Edge has been trying to recruit all of them but the one name who seems to stand out to him is AJ.

    With that said, the former “Rated-R Superstar” has namedropped several others. One of those names he has mentioned is WWE Raw commentator Corey Graves.

    Graves used to be an active competitor before concussions forced him to retire. Graves has been cleared to compete since that time but he’s remained at the commentary desk given his success over the years.

    With that said, during the May 23 episode of Raw, Corey Graves admitted joining Edge’s stable is something he has to consider.

    Following Raw, Graves took to his Twitter account and teased joining The Judgment Day with a single image.

    Riddle Hints At The End Of RK-Bro Amid Randy Orton’s Absence

    Riddle opened the May 23 episode of WWE Raw with an emotional promo.

    He told the WWE Universe that Randy Orton had back problems going into the tag team title unification match, which was held on the May 20 episode of SmackDown. The Usos ended up winning all the gold thanks to assistance from Roman Reigns.

    Riddle went as far as to say Orton was barely able to walk ahead of the match. He then said he doesn’t know about the future of RK-Bro due to Orton’s lingering issues.

    “Randy’s been having a really hard time with his back lately. Before our Tag Team Title Match, he could barely walk. I knew Randy wouldn’t let me down because he knew how much it went to me. And he knew how much it meant to you.”

    Of course, this could be a part of the storyline between The Bloodline and RK-Bro. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer had reported last week that Roman Reigns is expected to take on Randy Orton either at Money in The Bank or Summerslam.

    Reigns is also internally set to meet Riddle one-on-one at some point in July. It’s important to note that these plans are not set in stone.

    “The Sasha-Naomi thing, that was my first time hearing what Cole was saying live there. I have no idea what to think there.

    “I have no clue.

    “This is a very fascinating thing. She’s [Sasha] a superstar, they were our champions. What’s happening? I honestly have no idea what to believe in this whole thing, they keep me out of the loop on everything.

    “I have no f**king idea while Cole was doing his thing I was very fascinated. What is going on right now? I wish I had more answers for people. A couple of people asked me during my chat with Pat on Saturday what was going on.

    “It’s like f**k I feel like you know more than I do literally as it was happening.”

    Update On WWE Unifying Tag Team Championships

    WWE has unified the Tag Team Championships despite initial reports.

    Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer had reported that WWE was going to inevitably do a tag team title unification match with The Usos and RK-Bro but that things wouldn’t end with undisputed champions.

    To Bryan Alvarez’s credit, he did say there was a possibility that the titles could be unified but expected it to be short-lived.

    Ultimately, The Usos defeated Riddle and Randy Orton on the May 20 episode of WWE SmackDown to unify the gold.

    Meltzer took to Wrestling Observer Radio to say that the decision to have The Usos win the undisputed gold was a last-minute move.

    He said that ultimately, the feeling was that it had been built up for so long that a winner had to be crowned.

    Dave also noted that the post-match attack The Bloodline dished out on RK-Bro was always part of the plan.

    Jake Roberts Issues Apology To Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat

    Jake “The Snake” Roberts has regret after jumping the gun with claims regarding Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat’s health.

    Back in April, Roberts took to the DDP Snake Pit and expressed grief over the infamous headbutt that he landed on Steamboat back in 1986. Jake claimed that Steamboat was going through health issues and hoped that his DDT wasn’t the cause of it.

    Thankfully, Steamboat refuted Jake’s claim during a fan signing with Highspots. Ricky Steamboat said he gets regular medical checkups and he’s feeling great.

    An Apology

    On a new episode of the DDP Snake Pit, Jake Roberts apologized for getting ahead of himself and said he hopes he didn’t ruin his friendship with Steamboat (h/t WrestlingNews.co).

    “I have a heavy heart today. Last week, we were talking about someone who I hold in the highest regard. Nobody higher. I value our friendship as much as I do Dallas. He’s just a lovely, lovely man. Last week, out of concern, I brought up something that I had no business bringing up because I didn’t check who said it.

    “Number one, you should never talk about someone unless you check the facts. I said that I had heard Ricky was having problems with the mental aspect. I did it out of concern and love and fear, fear that I had been the reason, maybe, that he was having problems.

    “The good news is he isn’t having any problems. I repeated something that I heard from what I thought was a very good source, someone who spends time with him, and I was totally wrong in doing it. I’m ashamed that I did it.

    “But man, I am so scared that I’m going to lose my friendship with him. I’ve reached out with no luck, and Ricky, I certainly understand that you have the right to ream my butt, kick my butt, whatever, but just don’t shut the door on our friendship. That’s all I ask because I would really miss that.

    “He’s a number one talent.

    “There isn’t anybody better selling. He’s a phenomenal talent and a phenomenal man, a great human being.

    “Please let me come back in.”

    Jake recently had to dismiss a claim about his own health. Jim Ross said that Jake wasn’t in good health and he took to social media to say that isn’t the case.

    Theory Reveals Instructions From Stone Cold Steve Austin During WrestleMania 38

    Theory was given instructions by WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin before taking one of the best Stunners we’ve ever seen.

    On night two of WrestleMania 38, Theory went one-on-one with Pat McAfee. While Theory ended up falling short, he and Vince McMahon got a measure of revenge with Vince ultimately pinning the SmackDown color commentator.

    While Theory and Vince thought they had the last laugh, Stone Cold marched down the ring and gave them both Stunners.

    Instructions From Texas Rattlesnake

    Theory spoke to Corey Graves on the WWE After the Bell podcast. During his appearance, the reigning WWE United States Champion detailed the instructions given to him by Stone Cold (h/t 411Mania.com).

    “I remember him telling me when I was standing in the corner and he was arguing with Mr. McMahon. He’s like, ‘I’ll give you this look, and when I give you this look, start throwing. Come at me and start throwing some punches.’

    “I remember standing in there, and I could feel my heart ready to go because I just knew what was about to happen. As soon as he looked at me, I was like oh hell yeah. It was so fun. It’s so cool just enjoying those moments.

    “You’re standing there, and you’re in the ring with Mr. McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania. I’m just like ‘wow.’ It’s speechless sometimes. I don’t even have words for that.”

    Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg has shown his cousin, Sasha Banks, some love in the midst of her issues with WWE.

    Sasha and her tag team partner Naomi have been suspended indefinitely by WWE. The punishment was handed down as a result of the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions walking out of the May 16 episode of Raw mid-show.

    In addition to the suspension, WWE has pulled all online merchandise for Sasha and Naomi. The company has also removed them from its TV intro.

    Amid all the drama, Snoop Doog is showing “The Boss” some family love.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd4ked9MniZ/
    https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd4_I7KONU9/

    It was reported by PWInsider that creative differences were to blame for the incident. Sasha and Naomi were set to compete in a six-pack challenge to determine the number one contender for Bianca Belair’s WWE Raw Women’s Championship.

    Naomi was scheduled to win the match and face Belair at Hell in a Cell on June 5. Sasha Banks was going to challenge Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.

    Both were expected to lose their singles title matches.

    The issue seems to be that Sasha and Naomi felt the work they had done as a tag team was being tainted.

    It had also been reported by former WWE writer Kazeem Famuyide that contracts for both Sasha and Naomi are coming due in the near future.

    Bullying and school fights have long been a problem and the niece of Chris Jericho was a recent victim.
