NWA Worlds Champion Matt Cardona has confirmed his injury.
Matt Cardona’s Injury
On May 28 at GCW Downward Spiral, Cardona faced Blake Christian. During the match, he, unfortunately, injured his arm. Due to the injury he sustained, Cardona had to miss his scheduled afterparty. He revealed that he needed to take a ‘redeye’ to Orlando to get the injury checked out. Cardona noted before the confirmation that he ‘thought’ that he has suffered a torn bicep.
On Tuesday, Matt Cardona confirmed on Twitter that his bicep was torn, following an MRI. He also revealed that he needs surgery and that he will be canceling upcoming dates.
Got a MRI today. Bicep is torn. Surgery needed. Will unfortunately need to cancel some dates.
Cardona is set to defend the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship at NWA Alwayz Ready on June 11 against Nick Aldis. The title of the pay-per-view is a nod to Matt Cardona and his branding.
Cardona also is the reigning AIW Absolute Champion, AIW Intense Champion, and the ASW Heavyweight Champion. Cardona also competes regularly in IMPACT Wrestling and Game Changer Wrestling.
Cardona Injury Update
Cardona recently appeared on Busted Open Radio to reveal that he will still be at the NWA Alwayz Ready show in some way.
Cardona shared, “The doctor is suggesting surgery, which I will be getting on Tuesday, but there is no way I’m not coming to a pay-per-view named after me. I will be there. I don’t know what exactly is going to happen and what exactly is going to go down. I’m going to be there, I’ll have the Ten Pounds of Gold with me. It’s really Billy’s [Billy Corgan] decision on what he wants to do.”
“Part of me wanted to tape it up and work through it, but I want to be doing this for a long time. It’s probably better that I get it taken care of right now. There is no good time to get hurt and this certainly isn’t it. NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, having a pay-per-view named after me, just being the King of Indies, the Deathmatch King, we have (IMPACT) Slammiversary coming up. It’s not a good time to get hurt, but shit happens,” Cardona continued.
It is unclear how long Cardona will be unable to complete. There is not yet an announcement on how the NWA will handle the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship situation.

SEScoops would like to wish Cardona a speedy recovery.

AEW’s Lee Moriarty has suffered a horrible family tragedy.
Sadly, his infant nephew passed away on Sunday. Moriarty took to social media to release a statement. Moriarty posted a statement on his Twitter which relieved the tragedy.
Moriarty said:
“My nephew was 1 years old and his life was taken in a drive-by yesterday. I don’t share things from my personal life often but he deserves to be acknowledged for the great person he was growing to become. Miss you.
I’m muting this and I’d prefer no messages. Thank you.”
Throughout the United States, gun violence continues to be a persistent and continuous problem.
Following the murders of several children and teachers at a school in Uvalde, Texas, many performers across the wrestling landscape spoke out against gun violence.
SEScoops sends our deepest condolences to Lee and his family.
Following his victory against Hangman Adam Page at Double Or Nothing to win the AEW World Championship, CM Punk celebrated with the ROH and AAA Tag Team Champions, FTR, after the pay-per-view went off the air.

CM Punk & FTR Possibly Could Go After AEW Trios Titles
A user on Twitter brought up the possibility of FTR and CM Punk working together as a tag team in the highly anticipated trios division. CM Punk responded to the user with his thoughts on the idea.
The AEW World Champion responded, “Just give us the straps so we don’t have to hurt your favs.” You can view that exchange below.
William Regal was looking to hire two of AEW’s future stars during his time in charge of developmental at WWE.
Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia are two big parts of AEW TV right now. Garcia is a part of the new Jericho Appreciation Society. Yuta is a member of the Blackpool Combat Club with Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, and William Regal.
Both Garcia and Yuta made name for themselves on the independents before getting signed by AEW.
William Regal’s Interest In Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta
Regal was previous the Director of Talent Development and Head of Global Recruiting during his time in WWE. He was released by the company in January. However, before his release, Regal took notice of both stars.
The Blackpool Combat Club leader said, “They got themselves noticed on COVID. I was going to hire them last year in WWE. I had them and was ready to [sign them], but then a change in philosophy happened. I was going to hire both of them then, I wanted to hire them.
“I’m so happy that whatever he [Yuta] has done, he’s doing an incredible job and now we’re all focused on giving him everything we’ve got so he can get there a lot quicker than we got there. He’s getting good so quick because we can all tell him over the past 20 years what not to do.”
NXT To NXT 2.0 Rebrand
In September of 2021, WWE began to rebrand NXT to NXT 2.0. This also led to a shift in the athletes that they hire.
We are now beginning to see athletes from other sports, younger competitors, and more entertainment-based characters as opposed to the previous thread of signing wrestlers off the independents.
Last night, two independent promotions hosted Sunday night shows. Prestige Wrestling and SHP both presented events on May 29.
We have compiled results from both independent shows below and ways to stream them.

Andrew Zarian, Dave Meltzer, Bryan Alvarez and Garrett Gonzalez talked about Stephanie McMahon taking a leave of absence during a special edition of “We’re Live Pal.” They discussed the various stories and rumors circulating about her decision to step away, at least for now. Zarian said that he had spoken with someone high up about Stephanie and that there was more to the story.
Stephanie’s Abilities As An Executive Called Into Question
“[It was a] very bizarre conversation, I’ll tell you that. I didn’t expect that phone call. It was a phone call that kind of veered into a discussion about Steph. So I asked and I was like, ‘Hey, anything I could add to this? What’s going on?’ And, you know, some of the comments, I was shocked.
One being that people internally and this is coming from someone in the know in WWE. This wasn’t like a guy in catering,” Zarian said.
Zarian added, “The comment was that internally, there was doubt put on Steph [and] her abilities as an executive. And a lot of this started after she absorbed some of Michelle Wilson’s responsibilities after she left. One [responsibility] being ad sales and sponsorship. And the comment that I found interesting was that they mentioned that the investors were questioning why they weren’t performing as well. And internally, there was some questioning as to why that wasn’t performing.
I think a month ago, [WWE’s Head of Global Sales & Partnerships] Claudine Lilien…she went over to handle that and she was released a month ago and Nick [Khan] has taken over all these responsibilities. When the Shane issue happened at Royal Rumble, WWE was pretty quick to kind of say, yeah he got sent home for all the reasons that you heard, right? I was not expecting the words to be used for Steph because at the end of the day, the McMahons are the McMahons and they are the most protected people in that company.”
Miscommunications About Keeping The Story Under Wraps
Meltzer jumped in and added that he spoke to someone who heard that there were efforts to keep the story behind Stephanie’s absence out of the press. Meltzer said that this is a case of miscommunication because Zarian’s source wanted the story to get out.
Meltzer stated, “As far as Steph goes, like, if and when she comes back, and it won’t be soon, there’s a real good chance it won’t be in the same position… But it was interesting, because I talked to somebody about something similar and asked about Stephanie in that in that realm, and you know, certain things were explained that…there’s people who Stephanie dealt with that, but because Vince always had to answer, you know, she didn’t have the power. Nobody does. Vince has all the power. She’s someone who talks to Vince but at the end of the day, Vince is going to make those decisions.
But the thing was, there’s some people who are saying stuff and a person told me – he’s like, ‘if anyone hears that, they’re gonna be gone. No one can say anything bad publicly about Steph.’ And it’s like like a left hand and a right hand thing. Yeah. You (Zarian) were told, in a way, because they wanted it out.”
Zarian said that the source used “buzzy” words with him and those were terms that they wanted him to use when leaking the story. Zarian pointed out how Nick Khan has now become a senior executive in WWE because of how many office people have been let go.
Speculation On Why The Story Was Leaked
Zarian began to speculate on the reason that his source would’ve wanted to get the story out with the buzzwords they used.
Zarian said, “So you could see that this is a big change. But now the big story is okay, so why would that comment be made? There’s a reason for it. You know, you can speculate all you want. Is it to disconnect the McMahons from the company a little bit so if there is a sale positioning, it’s easier on the audience, maybe? … Or it can easily be, you know, get the stories out there to make it easier to change that old guard in our company. I was really surprised, and I hear some wacky things from there from people like crazy, crazy things. I was really shocked to hear that this conversation would happen.”

Prestige Wrestling hosted its Prestige Roseland 3 – Tag 1 event in Portland, Oregon. The event took place on May 28 at Roseland Theater. The event aired live on IWTV.
On the first season of Heels, CM Punk and Luke Gallows were featured on the show. Starz, the television channel/production company behind Heels, is seemingly planning to add more professional wrestling talent to the wrestling-based drama.
PWInsider has reported that Heels will be adding former IMPACT Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace, IMPACT’s Savannah Evans, and AEW’s Serena Deeb to the cast. They are currently filming Season Two of the show in Georgia.
Season One of ‘Heels’
Heels, whose lead producer is Micheal Waldron, depicts a story of two brothers who are rivals that are fighting over their father’s wrestling promotion. One of the brothers plays the villain and the other plays the hero, thus showcasing the heel versus face dynamic that we see in the ring throughout the show. While the brothers are fighting, the promotion is also trying to gain national attention as a small promotion in a small town in Georgia.
Season One premiered in the fall of 2021 and featured eight episodes. The show in its entirety is available for streaming on-demand on Amazon Prime Video.
On March 9, the Jericho Appreciation Society came together to solidify Jericho’s split from Santana & Ortiz. This also was the official end of the Inner Circle.
Jericho noted that he wanted to “cordially split up” the Inner Circle after the Stadium Stampede with The Pinnacle. He also said that he had an interest in forming a group with Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley.
During his feud with Kingston, Jericho unveiled his Jericho Appreciation Society. The group features Daddy Magic Matt Mennard, Cool Hand Angelo Parker, and Daniel Garcia.
Many times during the feud, Kingston brought up the possibility of Jericho being the one to hold Santana & Ortiz back.
The Formation Of The Jericho Appreciation Society
On Talk Is Jericho, he talked about how the group and the idea for it came together.
Jericho said, “I thought, ‘this [Kingston bringing up Santana & Ortiz] is interesting, we can have some dissension here.’ Then, the fateful moment where Daniel Bryan is going to align with Moxley and he goes, ‘We can bring in Moriarty, we can bring in Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia.’ I was like, ‘is this a thing? If it is, we’ve built up these three guys who have beat up Eddie Kingston and Chris Jericho and now they’re going to break it apart? These guys have to stay together. They have to stay together with me! It’s perfect.’
It hit me like, ‘Holy shit.’ Eddie Kingston, Santana, Ortiz have history, they do their thing, I start a new faction with you three and Jake because Jake and I have always been together since day one and I need a killer. ‘This could really work.’ That’s the original idea I pitched to Tony and said, ‘What do you think about this? I know it’s weird.”
The Origin Of The Jericho Appreciation Society
Chris went on to talk about the formation of the name as well.
“The original idea for this whole plan, the name of it was going to be The Citadel. I thought The Citadel was great. I said it to Tony and there was no pop for it whatsoever. I was like, ‘The Citadel sucks. I need something better.’
I was looking at the Art Appreciation Society or something like that, some weird email of ‘if you like this, maybe you should check out the Art Appreciation Society in downtown Detroit.’ Then, The Jericho Appreciation Society was just cheesy enough. It’s pretentious,” Chris said.
The former AEW World Champion also added how The Inner Circle were five guys with different identities and opinions but the JAS group was just four guys meant to be together to appreciate Jericho.

At Double Or Nothing, the JAS will take on Danielson, Kingston, Moxley, Santana & Ortiz in an Anarchy in the Arena match.

For the past two years at AEW Double or Nothing, there has been a Stadium Stampede match.
Now that fans are back in the arena, it seems that Anarchy In The Arena has replaced Stadium Stampede. Eddie Kingston, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Santana & Ortiz will take on the Jericho Appreciation Society (Chris Jericho, Daniel Garcia, Jake Hager, 2point0).
When the match was first announced, many thought that it would be a Blood & Guts match.
Tony Khan: Blood & Guts Means Less Ringside Seats
Tony Khan appeared on In The Kliq and was asked about the reason that the Blood & Guts match was not scheduled for Double or Nothing.
The AEW owner said, “I don’t think it would necessarily make sense with what we had set up on the pay-per-view in terms of getting the cage up and down for Blood & Guts and also the seating because it means less ringside seats.
“We have such great fans coming to the show and such a big attendance, actually a record gate for AEW. It’s the first time we’ve ever sold over a million dollars, just in tickets, we’re over $1.1 million in tickets for Double or Nothing before we even hit pay-per-view. It’s going to be a huge pay-per-view audience. Fans all over America and all over the world are talking about Double or Nothing.”
Possible Blood & Guts Return
The host went on to ask if Blood & Guts would eventually return, specifically because he wanted William Regal to say, “BLOOD & GUTS” similar to how he would say “WARGAMES!” during his time in NXT.
Tony Khan responded, “It’s an interesting thought and an interesting thing you bring up. I would not rule that out in the future at all. I would love for Blood & Guts to return to AEW. We still have the cage. It would make a lot of sense for Blood & Guts to come back to AEW.”
The first, last, and only Blood & Guts match took place on May 5, 2021 on AEW Dynamite. The match featured The Inner Circle taking on The Pinnacle

On the last episode of D-Von’s Table Talk podcast, he revealed that he will be moving from a producer to a coaching position in NXT. He will begin his new role in NXT on June 15.
Due to the chance of D-Von’s schedule and the schedule of his co-hosts, Table Talk has come to an end for now.
D-Von’s Spinal Fusion Surgery
Back in February, Dudley underwent spinal fusion surgery. He recently announced that he would be returning to work. As a part of the 2018 class, The Dudley Boyz (D-Von and Bubba Ray Dudley) were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
D-Von may be one of the most decorated and highly regarded tag team wrestlers in history, but he hasn’t wrestled since 2016. He did once joke about returning and making an appearance in the WWE Royal Rumble.

Tony Khan proudly discussed AEW’s continuous success in Las Vegas in a recent pre-pay-per-view media call.
This year, Double or Nothing will return to Vegas for the first time since the first AEW event in 2019. Interest is at an all-time high in the ‘Sin City.’
AEW is above the $1,000,000 mark in ticket sales for their pay-per-view return to Las Vegas.
“This is the biggest live attendance we’ve ever had. It’s a great barometer in pro wrestling. The live fans in the arena set the pace for fans all over the world.
“Obviously, with their reactions in the arena to people they see in the ring, but also how they spend their money and how they make their presence felt at the show.
“For us to set our attendance record already with well over a million dollars, I think over $1.1 million in tickets sold to Sunday’s pay-per-view, that is an amazing milestone for us and I also believe it’s indicative of huge interest in Double or Nothing 2022.”

It seems that there was a special entrance planned for Drew McIntyre on WrestleMania 38 Saturday that was apparently cut.
Drew McIntyre and Happy Corbin competed in the second match on Night 1 on WrestleMania 38. During the match, McIntyre became the first person to ever kick out of Corbin’s End of Days finishing maneuver. This was yet another big moment for McIntyre who competed for the WWE Championship at the last two WrestleMania events. One of the biggest parts of making WrestleMania ‘stupendous’ is the unique entrances that superstars have.
On WrestleMania Saturday, we saw special entrances for Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, Bianca Belair, and Cody Rhodes. However, apparently, there was also a special entrance planned for Drew McIntyre.
On Instagram, Mike J Wilson, posted a photo of a bunch of Kilted Warriors backstage. According to the caption of the post, they were supposed to be a part of a special entrance for Drew McIntyre that was canceled.

Referee Aja Smith made history last night when she officiated her first match at WrestleMania.
Aja Smith, who’s real name is Daphanie LaShaunn, made history when she became the first black female to officiate a match at WrestleMania. She was the referee for the match between The Mysterios (Rey & Dominik Mysterio) and The Miz & Logan Paul.
Daphanie took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the history making experience.
I’m really reffing my first mania. I’m really getting married. Two things I never expected. Been sitting here in silence just reflecting. It’s been a roller coaster these last few years. I was just trying to stay afloat and now I’m riding the waves bby. God is good all the time.
First Wrestlemania? First Black female to officiate on Wrestlemania?????? Right after my match I cried, called my family, and then gave myself the biggest pat on the back. I worked for every ounce of this. Keep grinding. It’ll pay off! And that’s on Daphanie LaShaunn??? pic.twitter.com/BQfbl3EQHS

LaShaunn is currently engaged to former NXT North American Champion Leon Ruff.

Mission Pro Wrestling: Bangerz Only! Quick Results
Mission Pro Wrestling: Bangerz Only! Final Thoughts
In conclusion, Mission Pro Wrestling: Bangerz Only! put on one of the strongest shows of the weekend. La Rosa Negra and Jody Threat tore the house down and fulfilled the ‘Bangerz Only!’ moniker. The fast pace of the matches were able to keep you invested. Through out the show, familiar faces such as Janai Kai, Allie Katch, Masha Slamovich, Thunder Rosa, and Trish Adora put on a show as expected. However, it seems like all of the women were in a different gear today. This show was everything that women’s wrestling can and should be.
GCW: The Collective still has two shows remaining for the weekend. To see the schedule for the remaining events, click here.
