PAC To Defend The AEW All Atlantic Title For The First Time In Revolution Pro

Revolution Pro has announced on Twitter that The BASTARD PAC will be defending the AEW All Atlantic championship against Shota Umino at the promotion’s July 10th event from Sheffield.

This will be PAC’s first defense of the AA title since winning it at the AEW & NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view last weekend. On that night PAC defeated fellow AEW superstars Miro and Malakai Black, as well as rising NJPW star Clark Connors, in a fatal-four way matchup. He picked up the win by trapping Connors in the Brutalizer submission.

Umino also wrestled at Forbidden Door, and had a great showing despite being on the losing side of a six-man tag team bout. He teamed with Eddie Kingston and ROH Pure champion Wheeler Yuta against Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, and NJPW legend, Minoru Suzuki. “Shooter” became popular with hardcores after his pairing with Jon Moxley during the Purveyor of Violence’s NJPW run in 2019.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Adam Cole Names Two Major Superstars As His Dream Opponents

Adam Cole is calling his shot.

The AEW star recently spoke with Kurt Angle on the WWE Hall of Famer’s podcast, where the former triple-crown NXT champion named two major pro-wrestling superstars as his dream opponents.

The first pick was the now retired WWE legend Shawn Michaels, who worked with Cole, as well as the rest of the Undisputed Era, during his days in NXT. Cole makes note of this when mentioning the Heartbreak Kid as his top choice.

“Shawn Michaels would be my number one pick. To be able to have the chance to get to wrestle him would be so cool and so surreal, because, again, I’ve studied him so much. I’ve watched him so much and I know him personally, and he’s a wonderful, wonderful person.”

Angle would later ask Cole to make a pick of an active wrestler. The 2022 Owen Hart Memorial tournament winner quickly named the top champion of the promotion he current represents, CM Punk, a man who was very inspirational for his career.

“I know he’s out injured right now, but CM Punk would be the guy that I’d want to step in there with because, again, CM Punk was the guy who got me into Ring of Honor as a fan. I remember seeing his matches and thinking they were they were really good.”

Cole adds that Punk’s ability to cut a promo made him put a heavy emphasis on that phase of his own game.

Then, watching his promos and being like, ‘Whoa,’ this is a like — His promos made me, from a young age, go, ‘I have to make sure that I get good at talking.’ Because he was so so great at it.”

Punk was absent from the business for seven years after his publicly known messy exit with WWE. Cole says he never thought he would get the chance to wrestle the Chicago Savior, and is still stunned that it can now potentially happen.

“I thought it was never going to happen. I’m like, ‘Okay, yep, he’s done, he retired. I’m never gonna get the chance to wrestle him,’ and now, it’s a very real possibility. So getting to go in there with CM Punk in AEW would be really cool.”

Unfortunately for Cole, both he and Punk are both dealing with injuries, with no timetable of when either is set to return.

What Are The Final Betting Odds For Tonight’s WWE Money In The Bank Event?

Tonight WWE will be presenting their Money In The Bank premium live event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Like all major WWE shows betting odds have been released hinting at who could be walking away winners from tonight’s marquee program.

The latest odds have since been released, with some interesting choices being heavy favorites.

Former grand-slam champion Seth Rollins is the heavy favorite to win the Men’s Money In The Bank matchup, which would be the second time in his career he carried the briefcase after winning it in 2014 and famously cashing it in at WrestleMania 31.

Becky Lynch is favored to win the Women’s Money In Bank matchup with great odds in the Man’s favor. If this ends up being the direction it would be the former multi-time champion’s first run with the MITB briefcase.

Aside from the two ladder matches a number of title bouts will also be taking place at Money In The Bank. However, the current betting odds say that no titles will change hands. You can see the full breakdown below courtesy of 32 Red.

WWE Raw Women’s Championship Match:
Bianca Belair (champion) -1250 vs. Carmella +550

WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship Match:
Ronda Rousey (champion) -2000 vs. Natalya +700

Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match:

WWE United States Championship Match:
Austin Theory (champion) -200 vs. Bobby Lashley +140

Tessa Blanchard Making Her In-Ring Return Later This Month

Former IMPACT world champion Tessa Blanchard is making her return to the ring later this month.

The indie promotion Hurricane Pro Wrestling announced that Blanchard will be competing at their event on Saturday, July 16 at Ford Park in Beaumont, Texas. The show will be broadcast live on the Title Match Network. Her opponent is Miranda Alize.

Blanchard won’t be the only big name on the show. Steph De Lander (Persia Pirotta), Lady Frost, Chandler Hopkins, Ryan Davidson and more will round out the card.

This is Blanchard’s first matchup since September 12th 2020, when she dropped the Warrior Wrestling Women’s championship to Kyle Rae. As previously reported she was set to be a key player in WOW (Women of Wrestling), with new episodes set to air on ViacomCBS in the fall. However, Blanchard had more behavior issues leading to yet another falling out with a promotion so her involvement with WOW going forward seems to be non-existent, nor was she in the trailer fort this upcoming season.

As a reminder Blanchard’s future has been unpredictable since her controversial exit from IMPACT in March 2020 when other female wrestlers accused her of bullying and racism, something the former world champion denied. Rumors had circulated that AEW was interested at one point, but nothing ever came of that.

We’ll keep you updated on Blanchard’s future.

AEW and Diamond Select Toys Partnering Up For New Line Of AEW Figures

AEW and Diamond Select Toys have announced a working relationship together.

The promotion and the toy-line issued a press release early this morning revealing that a new line of action figures will be made of some of AEW’s biggest superstars. This includes Chris Jericho, Sting, Britt Baker, AEW interim world champion Jon Moxley, and AEW champion CM Punk to name a few.

The figures will be launched at Comic-Con International later this month (July 21-July 24th), with several stars set to appear at a panel to discuss all things AEW. This will include Punk, TBS champion Jade Cargill, Bryan Danielson, Darby Allin, and will be moderated by head play-by-play man Excalibur.

Full details, including quotes from the Diamond Select Toys President and AEW’s Head of Consumer Products can be found below.

“Starting this summer, DST will offer a variety of products based on the stars of AEW, including CM Punk, Sting, Chris Jericho, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D., Jon Moxley and many more. Categories will include two-inch Minimates poseable figures, four-inch Vinimates vinyl figures, 10-inch Gallery Diorama PVC sculptures and 11-inch Premier Collection statues.

The all-new line will launch with an exclusive Vinimates two-pack at Comic-Con International in San Diego. CM Punk and Sting will be featured, wearing their mutual-tribute face paint as seen at AEW’s Holiday Bash in December 2021. It will be available at Booth 2607 at the convention and on diamondselecttoys.com.

“I’ve been a fan of wrestling for as long as I can remember,” said DST president Chuck Terceira. “AEW is the home of some of the most thrilling talent in the business, so we look forward to spotlighting these stars in our already fan-favorite product lines for fans everywhere.”

“Having worked with Chuck and the team at Diamond Select in the past, I have no doubt they will deliver an amazing assortment of premier collector items based on AEW,” said Mark Caplan, Head of Consumer Products at AEW. “Our fans are passionate and have an ongoing appetite for merchandise at our weekly live events, retail and online stores.”

In addition, some of the biggest stars of AEW will take the San Diego Comic-Con stage for the first time to give a ringside view of the wildly-popular wrestling promotion. The highly anticipated panel discussion on Saturday, July 23, will feature CM Punk, Jade Cargill, Darby Allin, Orange Cassidy and Bryan Danielson, and will be moderated by AEW commentator Excalibur.

Since its debut in 2019, AEW has defied expectations with its meteoric rise, world-class roster, record-high ratings, unprecedented collaboration with other leagues and highly entertaining product.

Domestic Violence Case Against AEW Star Jake Atlas Dropped

Good news for Jake Atlas.

One month ago the AEW star was arrested in Orlando Florida for domestic assault on his partner. Atlas was out drinking and asked his partner to come pick him up. At some point in the evening an argument took place between the two and Atlas lashed out, scratching his partner’s face and ripping his tank-top. The story went viral once it broke.

However according to TMZ, the case has been officially dropped and Atlas is free and clear. A statement from the court documents reads, “From the investigation which has been made, it is the opinion of the writer that this case is not suitable for prosecution. The court records show that there was a hearing scheduled for 6/28.”

Atlas has been out of action since signing with AEW back in January due to suffering a torn ACL in his very first match with the company, which was against Adam Cole. He had successful surgery to repair the damage in February.

Prior to signing with AEW Atlas had a run in WWE’s NXT brand, and was a prominent figure on the independent scene before going there. He regularly appeared at the popular indie federation PWG in Los Angeles, as well as numerous other promotions throughout the U.S.

We’ll keep you updated on Atlas’ return status.

AEW Reportedly Dealing With More Injuries, Talent Contracts Expiring

For weeks AEW has been feeling the repercussions of the injury bug, as top stars like CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Kyle O’Reilly, Bobby Fish, Jungle Boy, Red Velvet, Leyla Hirsch, and more have been sidelined to some extent. The timing could not have been worse as the promotion was forced to make several big changes for tonight’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view in Chicago.

Now a new report from Fightful Select reveals that there is even more talent banged up. While no names were given the publication states that there are injuries that have yet to be disclosed to the public. We will have to see how it affects AEW’s booking plans going forward.

In the same report it is mentioned that AEW did not bring in a lot of talent to Chicago for Forbidden Door as only a portion of the roster was needed since the event is a joint collaboration with New Japan Pro Wrestling, who are also dealing with a string of bad luck as several stars were pulled from tonight’s show due to injury or illness, including Tomohiro Ishii and Hiromu Takahashi.

Finally…Fightful reports that a select number of wrestlers on the AEW roster are currently under a per-appearance agreement, and that some of those deals, which also haven’t been disclosed to the public, are set to expire this year.

Stay tuned for more AEW updates.

AEWxNJPW: Forbidden Door Predictions

This Sunday, All Elite Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling join forces to present the historic AEWxNJPW: Forbidden Door pay-per-view.

Many of the top stars from AEW and NJPW are currently out of action due to injuries, but that hasn’t stopped the companies for putting together a card featuring surreal match-ups that fans never thought they’d see.

SEScoops correspondents Andrew Ravens, Joey G and I got together and run down the card for AEWxNJPW: Forbidden Door.

Here are our official Forbidden Door predictions:

The Buy-In: Max Caster & Gunn Club vs. LA Dojo (Yuya Uemura, Alex Coughlin, Kevin Knight & The DKC)

Joey G: Max Caster will cut an epic rap, then get the absolute piss kicked out of him by the LA Dojo boys. (Prediction: LA Dojo)

Andrew Ravens: The match is fine and will be a fun match. I don’t see why the NJPW guys would go over and AEW needs to do a better job protecting The Acclaimed as they’re clearly over with the fans. (Prediction: Max Caster & Gunn Club)

Michael Reichlin: I’m a big fan of Max Caster whole act and the Gunn Club is good in the ring, but I see LA Dojo getting a win for ‘Team NJPW’ – although there has been no mention of formally keeping score of wins for AEW or New Japan. (Prediction: LA Dojo)

Consensus: LA Dojo

Zack Sabre Jr. vs. TBA

Joey G: This will be hard to pick. I presume Danielson would have defeated ZSJ, but since that match hasn’t happened yet it feels like the Brit has to win to eventually build to that. Although, why would a mystery man be brought in just to lose? Too many questions, so instead of a winner I’ll pick who I think the surprise is. Many will guess Claudio (Cesaro), ROH champion Jonathan Gresham, or Johnny Gargano. But me? I think it’s time for a hero. (Prediction: Chris Hero)

Michael Reichlin: It’s unfortunate that Bryan Danielson is out of this one due to injury, but he’s promised a replacement that fans will be excited about. The replacement will be the newest member of the Blackpool Combat Club and will also take Bryan’s spot in Blood and Guts on Wednesday. Who else could it be, but Cesaro? These two will put on a technical classic that will showcase what sets AEW and NJPW apart from the rest. Cesaro (well, Claudio Castignoli) returns and begins the best run of his career. (Prediction: Cesaro)

Andrew Ravens: The mystery opponent has to be Cesaro. He goes back with Bryan Danielson and would fit well in the group. He’s also someone that the fans will be behind in this role and would be a welcome addition to the AEW roster. It would be odd for AEW to beat this mystery person on their first night with the promotion so I’ll side with the mystery opponent who I think is Cesaro. (Prediction: Cesaro)

Consensus: Cesaro

Fatal Four-Way to Crown the First AEW All-Atlantic Champion: Pac vs. Miro vs. Malakai Black vs. Clark Conners

Andrew Ravens: It comes down to one man and one man only for me and that’s Miro. He’s been away for a while and has been booked strongly since coming back. Sure, you can make the case for the other guys, but it’s pretty obvious who should win the title here. (Prediction: Miro)

Joey G: All options are good options in what is sure to be an underrated gem. Ishii going out means the young Clark Conners gets a chance to prove himself on a big stage, and PAC, Miro, and Malakai have all gotten very over to the AEW faithful. Miro feels like he’s ready for to enter the world title scene, and while PAC would be great holding gold, Malakai could kickstart a dominant run for the House of Black by capturing gold here. I’m going Malakai. (Prediction: Malakai Black)

Michael Reichlin: I won’t get into the debate surrounding AEW adding another mid-card championship belt, or the specifics of what makes an “All-Atlantic” champion. I do like the idea of stars like Pac, Miro and Black having a reason to face each other and this match is over-stuffed with talent. I’m a huge Miro guy and he had a memorable run as TNT Champion. Between these four, I see Miro as the best choice to be champion. (Prediction: Miro)

Consensus: Miro

Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara & Minoru Suzuki vs. Eddie Kingston, Wheeler Yuta & Shota Umino

Joey G: This will most definitely be a lot of fun, but the heels seem destined to take this one. Kingston seeing blood will distract him from going for the win, and while Yuta and Umino are great, Suzuki is evil and Jericho and Guevara are as thick as thieves. Jericho and company get the W here. (Prediction: Jericho, Guevara & Suzuki)

Andrew Ravens: This could be a toss-up as it’s just a match on the card with some history. Jericho has been getting the upper hand a lot on Kingston so I will side with the babyfaces here and Suzuki taking the pinfall loss. (Prediction: Jericho, Guevara & Suzuki)

Michael Reichlin: This could easily be one of the most enjoyable matches of the night. I expect a bunch of crazy spots, including Sammy or Yuta jumping off something high. Kingston always delivers, Jericho adds star power and Suzuki will get violent. (Prediction: Jericho, Guevara and Suzuki)

Consensus: Jericho, Guevara & Suzuki

IWGP U.S. Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay vs. Orange Cassidy

Michael Reichlin: Cassidy can go, so don’t write this off as just a comedy match. Ospreay is one of my favorites and I still can’t believe he’s been gracing an AEW ring. I hope we get to see more from him over the next few months, if they could negotiate him doing a tour in the US. The crowd will each this one up and Ospreay will have another showcase performance. (Prediction: Will Ospreay)

Andrew Ravens: It doesn’t make much sense for Cassidy, a comedy guy, to win an NJPW title and then defend it in Japan where they book strong-style wrestling. This could be one of the better matches on the card as Ospreay will be able to tell a great story around Cassidy’s gimmick. (Prediction: Will Ospreay)

Joey G: A match that will exceed all expectations both due to Ospreay’s incredible in-ring agility and Cassidy’s even better character work and sloth-style. However, as much as OC is loved he’s gonna get destroyed by the Aerial Assassin’s Hidden Blade. (Prediction: Will Ospreay)

Consensus: Will Ospreay

AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa vs. Toni Storm

Joey G: Rosa and Storm on paper are perfect opponents for one another, so the real hope is that the match is as great as the talent in the ring. Only bad thing about this is that Rosa is still early on in her reign so the outcome is all but determined. (Prediction: Thunder Rosa)

Andrew Ravens: AEW has built up Storm very well in this role and it’s been a fun feud to follow along with. Thunder is still way too early in her title reign to lose the title here and I think that may hurt the crowd reactions to the match. (Prediction: Thunder Rosa)

Michael Reichlin: If you remember what I wrote about Thunder Rosa before Double or Nothing, my opinion hasn’t changed much for this latest match. Her title reign is underwhelming and she hasn’t risen to the occasion as someone who can carry the division, but they haven’t built up her challenger enough to warrant a title change yet. (Prediction: Thunder Rosa)

Consensus: Thunder Rosa

Winner Takes All: ROH World Tag Team Champions FTR vs. IWGP World Tag Team Champions United Empire (Jeff Cobb & Great-O-Khan) vs. Roppongi Vice

Joey G: This feud has seemed weird from the start, but that won’t stop me from enjoying three very different tag teams tying it up in what should be another fun contest. The most exciting path is that of FTR, because if they grab all the gold that sets up a potential rubber match with the Young Bucks as the main event of ALL OUT 2022 for everything, including the AEW belts. That’s too good of a story to pass up on. (Prediction: FTR)

Michael Reichlin: FTR are the top tag team in the world, but I don’t see them putting another pair of belts on them. That gets complicated, as we saw with Belt Collector Kenny Omega. Cobb and O-Khan retain by pinning one of the members of Roppongi Vice. (Prediction: United Empire)

Andrew Ravens: I believe AEW is heading towards a Young Bucks vs. FTR feud eventually whether that be as early as All Out or at a later date so I do expect them to lose the titles here. It’s a toss-up as to who will win the match, but I’ll side with Jeff Cobb and Great-O’Khan going over as they can always lose the ROH titles whenever needed. (Prediction: United Empire)

Consensus: United Empire

IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Jay White vs. Kazuchika Okada vs. Hangman Page vs. Adam Cole

Michael Reichlin: Okada is finally wrestling in an AEW ring and that’s just crazy to me. The dream matches that are now possible should make for some special events in the year ahead. As for the match at hand, I don’t see an AEW wrestler winning the IWGP championship and then going to Japan to defend it regularly. Between White and Okada, I think White retains and these two continue their feud. (Prediction: Jay White)

Joey G: Tony Khan said on the Forbidden Door media call that Okada wasn’t available for AEW television until this past week, so the build of this match was very scattered. That aside, all four competitors are very unique and VERY OVER, so this contest is sure to be red-hot. However, we know whose era this is. (Prediction: Jay White)

Andrew Ravens: White just won the title and it doesn’t make much sense to have AEW talent go over to defend a title in Japan. I see White retaining here and beating either Page or Cole so that still sets up a future White vs. Okada match. (Prediction: Jay White)

Consensus: Jay White

Bullet Club (Young Bucks, El Phantasmo & Hikuleo) vs. Dudes with Attitudes (Sting, Darby Allin, Shingo Takagi & Hiromu Takahashi)

Joey G: This might be the match I’m most excited for even though it was only announced last week. If you’ve never seen Hiromu Takahashi in action you are in for a treat. My main prediction? Sting will jump off of the top of the United Center. (Prediction: Dudes With Attitudes)

Andrew Ravens: I see this as being a pick-em type of match as either team could go over. I side with Dudes with Attitudes just because some NJPW need to go over on this show and with Allin and Sting being on the team, it makes even more sense. (Prediction: Dudes with Attitudes)

Michael Reichlin: This is another match that seems thrown together but will probably rule. With the grab-bag of competitors involved, how could it not? The Bucks are the AEW World tag team champions, but Sting and Darby are a special act that knows how to get the job done. (Prediction: Dudes with Attitudes)

Interim AEW World Championship Match: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Jon Moxley

Andrew Ravens: Moxley wins it here. I would be shocked to see Tanashi pick up the win. AEW doesn’t have short-term champions so it wouldn’t make sense for an interim champion to have a short reign as the purpose is to fill the role until the actual champion comes back and then the two champions fight. (Prediction: Jon Moxley)

Michael Reichlin: This might be a surprising pick, but I’m giving this one to Tanahashi. This is a dream match with two of the top pro wrestlers in the world, no question. At the end of the day, I think this comes down to politics. More specifically, I could see Tony Khan putting the Interim AEW World title on Tanahashi, as a gesture of good faith towards New Japan, setting up the eventual Tanahashi vs. CM Punk unification match. Maybe we do see Moxley vs. Punk in a few months, but I don’t see AEW pulling the trigger on that match just yet. (Prediction: Hiroshi Tanahashi)

Joey G: While not the original main event for this first ever dream card, no star has carried the spirit of AEW like Moxley has, and him getting the opportunity to go up against one of the greatest of all-time in Tanahashi has made this substitute feel like a big deal. Moxley gets the win and gets to actually defend the company’s top belt in front of fans, something he was denied during his first reign. (Prediction: Jon Moxley)

Consensus: Jon Moxley

There you have it, our AEWxNJPW: Forbidden Door predictions. Check back after the event for our Results and news coming out of the show.

Windham Rotunda Files To Trademark The name, ‘Wyatt 6’

Former WWE champion and two-time Universal champion Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) has filed a new trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The Eater of Worlds applied for the term “Wyatt 6,” which is his current handle for his social media channels and could potentially be his new in-ring moniker whenever he returns to the squared circle.

Rotunda made the filing on June 21st through wrestling attorney Michael E. Dockins, who has helped a number of top stars secure trademarks with the USPTO.

The “Wyatt 6″ trademark is intended to cover the categories: hats, Shirts, Sweatshirts, Bandanas and Hooded sweatshirts.”

Rotunda was released from his WWE contract back in July of 2021. Reports have since surfaced that there were constant creative clashes between himself and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, and their falling out led to Rotunda being pulled from programming.

His final WWE match was against Randy Orton on night one of WrestleMania 37 a bout he worked as The Fiend and lost.

Rotunda has been largely absent from the wrestling world since his WWE departure, setting his sights instead on film projects. He has hinted in several cryptic tweets that he will be making some sort of return in the near future.

Jon Moxley On His Time In Rehab: “One Therapist I Had Straight Up Told Me To Retire”

Back in 2021 AEW President Tony Khan made a shocking announcement on Twitter revealing that top company superstar and former world champion Jon Moxley would be entering an alcohol treatment center, and would be out of action for some time trying to get sober. The response for Mox was largely supportive, and many, including fans and colleagues, wished him the best.

The Purveyor of Violence made his grand return to AEW at the tail end of the year looking like a million bucks, and has since formed the Blackpool Combat Club with William Regal and Bryan Danielson. He will also be entering this Sunday’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view with the chance of becoming the new AEW interim world champion.

While speaking with his wife Renee Paquette on the latest episode of The Sessions Moxley opened up about his time in rehab, and what eventually led him to making the decision.

“The not drinking part is easy. It’s not like I have some desire to drink. I have no desire to drink. I can’t even imagine drinking right now. Not drinking was easy. I wanted to stop drinking for a long time. I was trying to quit drinking for a long time. Just dealing with all the after effects and what happens to you physically when your body goes through this metamorphosis, trying to re-calibrate itself has not been easy.”

The revelation for Moxley was not easy. He reveals that a therapist suggested to him that he quit the business that he loves so much.

“The one therapist I had straight up told me to retire. She said, ‘Start a wrestling school. Train some kids. You know what the problem is? You gotta get out of there.’ I was like, ‘I don’t think it’s that.’”

Despite the suggestion Moxley continues to make a large impact in the pro-wrestling circuit, and has remained one of AEW most over acts since that incredible debut back at Double or Nothing 2019. When discussing his first match back after rehab Moxley admits that it was hard for him find his rhythm again.

“So my first match back, you think it’s gonna be like, ‘Okay, well, now you’re sober so you’re just going to feel like a million dollars.’ It doesn’t really work like that. It was weird. It was like my legs were in quicksand. I didn’t have any adrenaline, not that I didn’t have any adrenaline, so much is like, I wasn’t nervous.”

Moxley would eventually find his rhythm again, and has continued proving why he’s world champion material. He later adds that not going into a match hungover or feeling like crap has been massively beneficial.

“I think people who probably don’t spend their lives partying too much or whatever, probably take for granted just waking up in the morning and feeling good. I feel like I’m cheating. Like, the novelty hasn’t fully worn off of not having a hangover. Just like waking up and being like, okay, I don’t have to worry about being massively dehydrated or feeling like crap or whatever.”

Moxley will take on The Ace Hiroshi Tanahashi at this Sunday’s Forbidden Door.

Rhea Ripley Reveals Injury That Got Her Pulled From Money In The Bank

It was announced on this Monday’s episode of Raw that top women’s superstar Rhea Ripley was not medically cleared to compete and would no longer be wrestling at the upcoming Money In The Bank pay-per-view, where she was set to challenge Bianca Belair for the Raw women’s championship.

Today Ripley revealed the extent of her injury and it is much more serious than originally anticipated. When a fan commented on her Instagram post stating that Ripley didn’t appear to look very hurt she responded with, ““Brain/teeth. Can’t see a brain injury. Stop being incompetent and reaching at nothing.” There is no confirmation at this time as to how much time Ripley will miss.

Ripley recently joined the Judgement Day faction led by WWE Hall of Famer Edge and Damian Priest. However, Edge was recently removed from the group after Priest, Ripley, and new leader Finn Balor, betrayed the R-Rated superstar.

In Ripley’s place former SmackDown women’s champion Carmella will be taking on Belair at Money In The Bank.. The Queen of Staten Island earned the opportunity by winning a matchup on Monday’s Raw.

Another AEW Star Dealing With An Injury

AEW has been bit by the injury bug badly over the last month, with top stars like CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Adam Cole, Darius Martin, and more being sidelined. Unfortunately, another name will now be added to the list.

The House of Black’s Buddy Matthews has revealed on Instagram that he is dealing with a shoulder injury. In his post the former NXT cruiserweight champion is seen working out, where he writes that he has been able to slowly increase his weight limit, but specifies that his movement is limited. Matthews does not mention the extent of the injury, or if he will be missing any time.

The full post reads, “Always a work in progress. Dealing with a shoulder injury which limits a lot of my shoulder movements. But slowly increasing the weight again. He better than you were yesterday!”

Matthews last competed in a losing effort against PAC a few weeks ago on Dynamite. Since arriving in the company back in February he has mainly been wrestling alongside Brody King and faction leader Malakai Black in trios action. The group has yet to be defeated in six-man tags.

AEW has yet to release any additional details on Matthews injury. Check out his post below.

Adam Page Says He Will Never Lower Himself Into Doing A “S**t A** Podcast” and Trashing Younger Wrestlers

Adam Page isn’t interested in trashing the next generation of wrestlers that come after him.

The Hangman issued a short statement on his personal Twitter account this morning calling out older wrestlers who constantly criticize today’s talent on their “sh*t ass podcasts.” While not mentioning anyone specifically this comes one day after WWE Hall of Famer Booker T received backlash for his bodying shaming comments about AEW superstar Adam Cole.

The topic Page is discussing has become a popular trend from stars of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Some of the most widely controversial headlines at times come from big names like Jim Cornette, Eric Bischoff, Booker T, and Bully Ray to name a few, all who have podcast platforms with a large number of followers.

Page, who rarely tweets and always gains some traction when he does, writes the following:

“I just hope that when im old and retired i don’t lower myself to some shit ass podcast where i trash the younger generation that’s just chasing the same fortune wrestling has afforded me.”

Aside from Page’s antics on Twitter he has been trying to bounce back from his Double or Nothing loss to CM Punk, and has been constantly calling out top NJPW superstar Kazuchika Okada for this Sunday’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view.

You can check out the former world champion’s tweet, which also sees him promote tomorrow’s edition of Dynamite in Milwaukee, below.

Chris Jericho Shares His Shocking Take on MJF

Last month one of the biggest stories in pro-wrestling was AEW superstar MJF and his contract dispute with president Tony Khan, a real-life incident that later morphed into an angle on AEW television. The Salt of the Earth’s last appearance was the post-Double or Nothing edition of Dynamite in Los Angeles, where he cut an epic promo asking for Khan to fire him.

In a recent interview with TalkSport top AEW superstar Chris Jericho spoke about the MJF situation, which included the Demo God questioning the former Pinnacle leader’s motives for a future deal with AEW, and how he believes that the 26-year old still has a lot to learn.

“He has a lot to learn. He’s not as good as he thinks he is and like I said, it really is nothing to do with me but I’m sure he’ll be back. 18 months is a long time to stay at home and that’s Tony Khan’s prerogative. You’re under contract, you want to stay at home? You can stay at home and not get paid and that’s what happens. We see it happen in other companies and that’s just how it goes. If you didn’t expect that, then why did you sign your contract in the first place?”

MJF has been teasing for months that he may jump ship and go to WWE. Jericho would be asked how he thinks MJF’s raw uncut character would be portrayed in the fed, a move he believes would be a bad decision but understands since he has switched companies multiple times.

“Oh absolutely [his character would be watered down in WWE]. He’s better off staying in AEW. But, again, don’t stick your finger in the light socket. You tell a little kid not to do that and they’re going to do it to see what happens. I’m not going to tell anybody not to go elsewhere because I did it. I did it for years. I did it to come to AEW. I walked away from WWE. When I signed my AEW contract Vince McMahon said ‘Can you get out of it?’ – No, you told me to go here!”

The Wizard ends his rant by saying that contract disputes happen in professional sports all the time, but that if a team wants to run smoothly they need to have talent that wants to be there.

“if they want to go elsewhere, that’s kind of the way it goes. That’s pro sports and that’s what pro wrestling is. It happens in the NFL, in the NHL, the Premier League – guys come and go. You got to have the best team possible with people that want to be there and if you don’t want to be there, it’s just not going to be conducive to your own performance anyways.”

Jericho and MJF feuded for a large portion of 2021, which included Jericho putting his career on the line at ALL OUT 2021. Since his Dynamite promo MJF has been noticeably absent from AEW programming, and even removed from the AEW intro. graphics.

Samoa Joe Comments on Not Appearing at Impact Slammiversary

AEW superstar and current reigning ROH TV champion Samoa Joe issued a short statement on Twitter this morning explaining why he did not appear via video on last night’s Impact Slammiversary pay-per-view.

Along with the event Impact was celebrating its 20-year anniversary in the wrestling business, and got video testimonials from some of their biggest talents over the years, dating back to their days as Total Nonstop Action (TNA). This includes statements from WWE’s AJ Styles, AEW’s Sting, and the Olympic Hero himself, Kurt Angle.

Fans were quick to notice Joe’s absence from the event, as his run in TNA was quite memorable. The Samoan Submission Machine was a former TNA heavyweight champion, former TNA TV champion, former two-time TNA tag champion, and a former five-time TNA X-Division champion, and along with Styles is widely considered one of the best X-Division champions in history.

In his tweet Joe reveals that he was not asked by Impact to appear, nor would he have been available to film anything anyway. He adds that his absence should not “mar a great milestone” set by the promotion before wishing everyone well moving forward.

“Dearest cackling hens. I wasn’t asked, or available, and it should not mar a great milestone set by Impact. Happy Anniversary, and my best going forward to all involved.”

Matt Cardona: “I Want To Have Ric Flair’s Last Match for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship”

Matt Cardona has a dream match in mind.

The current NWA world’s champion recently spoke with Phil Strum on his Under The Ring program about a potential showdown with the Nature Boy, one that Cardona not only wants, but is willing to put the Ten Pounds of Gold on the line.

“Would it be too cheap to say that I want to have Ric Flair’s last match for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship? I mean that’s the talk of the wrestling business right now, Ric Flair having one more match.”

News broke last month that Flair, at 73, would be returning to the ring for one final matchup on July 31st in Nashville, Tennessee. His opponent has yet to be revealed. Speaking on that…Cardona states that while that bout will be great, a title match with him would be better, especially since Flair’s name is forever linked to the NWA.

“I’ve heard the rumors of what the match will be. I’m sure it’s gonna be a great match. I’m sure it’s gonna be fun for everybody. But don’t you think his last match ever should be for the Ten Pounds of Gold. You think of NWA, you think of the Ten Pounds of Gold, you think of Ric Flair, ‘The Nature Boy.”

Cardona later adds that Flair has the opportunity to become a 17-time world champion, and that because of that, their matchup is likely to sell-out an arena.

“Does he want to be a 17-time champ? If he does, I got the Ten Pounds of Gold. I could put Sweet Charlotte on the line. Think about it. ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair vs. ‘Always Ready’ Matt Cardona for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. Tell me that does not sell out an arena.”

Unfortunately for Cardona, he is currently dealing with an injury and will be out of action for up to five months. He was scheduled to face Nick Aldis for the NWA championship at the June 11th Alwayz Ready pay-per-view, but it has not been determined how the promotion will move forward due to the injury.

Juice Robinson Not Expected To Work NJPW Dominion, Ace Austin Responds

Juice Robinson is not expected to work the June 10th NJPW Dominion pay-per-view.

The NJPW superstar and current IWGP U.S. Champion was unable to compete at Friday’s Best of the Super Junior finals due to a battle with appendicitis. Despite being was announced for Dominion a new report has surfaced revealing that the new Bullet Club member will be unable to compete at the show, where he was set to defend the title in a triple threat against Will Ospreay and SANADA.

According to Wrestling Inc., Juice is not expected to be recovered from his appendicitis, and his match will no longer be on the card. New Japan has yet to officially confirm this news, but it apears to be accurate as IMPACT star and current reigning X-Division champion Ace Austin, who just competed for NJPW in the BOSJ tournament, tweeted out that they should replace the U.S. title match with an X-Division title match.

Austin, who also just joined Bullet Club, writes, “If Juice can’t defend at Dominion maybe there should be an X Division title match instead I’m willing to defend my title & my spot in Ultimate X at #Slammiversary.”

We’ll keep you updated on Juice’s condition. See Austin’s tweet below.

Another Top AEW Superstar Dealing With An Injury

This past week AEW hit a roadblock as their new world champion, CM Punk, announced on Rampage that he had broken his foot and will be out of action for an undetermined amount of time. In his absence an interim world champion will be crowned at the June 26th AEW/NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view. However, another top superstar appears to be also dealing with an injury.

According to Fightful Select, the American Dragon Bryan Danielson is hurt, and was unable to attend his scheduled meet-and-greet, which took place earlier today in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The venue told fans that Danielson was unable to fly due to an injury, something they confirmed with Fightful later in the day.

Danielson’s last match was one week ago at Double or Nothing, where he teamed with Jon Moxley, Santana, Ortiz, and Eddie Kingston in an epic Anarchy of the Arena matchup against Chris Jericho and the Jericho Appreciation Society. Despite their best efforts, Danielson’s team was on the losing end.

The report does not specify exactly what kind of injury Danielson is dealing with, but as a reminder he did potentially hurt his ankle several weeks ago on Rampage. On that night Danielson’s ankle got trapped between the entrance ramp and the wrestling ring, an odd occurrence that required AEW’s medical staff to pry him free. The Dragon did remain in character during the incident, but was carried to the back afterwards.

AEW has yet to officially confirm the injury news, nor is it known if Danielson will miss any time because of this. We will keep you updated on his condition as this is an ongoing story.

AEW Announces Eliminator Series To Crown The New Interim World Champion

The big story coming out of last night’s AEW Rampage was that world champion CM Punk had broken his foot, and will be out of action for some time as he recovers from surgery. The Chicago Made man broke the news in front of the live crowd of Ontario California with tears in his eyes, but promised to come back stronger than ever.

Despite his injury Punk will not be relinquishing the title, and instead an Interim world champion would be crowned at the June 26th Forbidden Door pay-per-view in Chicago. While there was some confusion during the broadcast as to how exactly this would happen, AEW provided the full details in a press release that dropped earlier today.

An eliminator series will be held.

This week’s Dynamite will open up with a battle royal matchup featuring all AEW talents. The winner of the battle royal will face the #1 ranked Jon Moxley in the main event of that very same episode of Dynamite, with the winner of that match advancing to the main event of Forbidden Door. This replaces the previously scheduled CM Punk vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi bout.

However, Tanahashi still has an opportunity to be in the Forbidden Door main event. The Ace will take on Hirooki Goto in an eliminator singles-matchup at NJPW’s Dominion pay-per-view on June 12th. The winner of that bout will advance to the main event of the Forbidden Door, where they will face the AEW competitor.

Whoever is victorious in the main event of Forbidden Door will be crowned the new AEW interim world champion.

Check out the full press release below.

CM Punk Injured, Interim AEW World Championship Announced

CM Punk had a major announcement to make on tonight’s AEW Rampage from Ontario, California.

The current world champion did specify that the announcement would be in regards to the title, as well as his career.

The way the tweet was worded made it seem as if Punk was going to be relinquishing the gold possibly due to an injury as he was seen noticeably limping after his trios tag team matchup on Dynamite.

As it turns out, that’s exactly what happened … for the most part

During the Rampage show, Punk announced that he’s injured and will need to undergo surgery. He revealed he had a conversation with AEW President Tony Khan and said he didn’t want to hold up the AEW World Title picture.

It’s a tough bump in the road for Punk, who had just won AEW’s top prize at Double or Nothing. He pinned Hangman Page on May 29 to capture the AEW World Championship.

With that said, CM Punk won’t be relinquishing the AEW World Championship as initially announced on commentary.

Late in the show, it was announced that Jon Moxley will face the winner of a battle royale set for the June 8 episode of Dynamite. The winner moves on to Forbidden Door to determine an interim champion.

Punk made sure to let fans know that he isn’t done just yet and this injury is simply a setback.

AEW Double or Nothing 2022 PPV Estimated Buyrate & Attendance Numbers

This past Sunday AEW invaded the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas Nevada for their annual Double or Nothing pay-per-view, which saw CM Punk crowned as the new world champion, the first-ever Anarchy In The Arena matchup, and the debuts of manager Stokely Hathaway and women’s division star Athena.

While the event had been promoted by Tony Khan as AEW’s biggest pay-per-view to date, the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter has a report revealing how the show did business-wise, including the paid gate, the stars who topped Google searches, and the estimated number of PPV buys.

It is believed that Double or Nothing did around 150,000-155,000 buys on traditional pay-per-view, but it is noted that the official numbers have yet to be determined. If the estimation is correct this is a significant increase from Double or Nothing 2021, which pulled in around 140,000 buys.

The crossover between WWE and AEW fans was quite limited for Double or Nothing 2022 and WrestleMania 38. The Observer reports that only 3.2% of fans ordered both shows, but this doesn’t track those who watched on Peacock.

One of the biggest stories going into the show was the controversy with top superstar MJF, a story that continues to unfold even on the most recent AEW programming. However, the news of MJF’s unhappiness did not lead to any last-minute buys for Double or Nothing.

MJF was one of the top names searched on Google over the weekend, even more than CM Punk. That changed on Sunday when Punk became the most searched star from the show, with Adam Page and MJF coming in at second. Overall there were over 200,000 searches made for AEW Double or Nothing, which is consistent with major AEW events. This is roughly the same number of searches regular WWE PPVs do, but much less than their major shows.

Finally the attendance. Reports are that there were 14,459 fans in attendance at T-Mobile Arena, with 13,800 of those fans paying. This gave AEW a gate of just under 1.15 million dollars, their fourth largest in company history behind last fall’s Arthur Ashe Dynamite, CM Punk’s return at the United Center, and this past Wednesday’s Dynamite from the Forum in Los Angeles.

We will keep you updated on the final PPV buys for Double or Nothing once it comes out.

Juice Robinson Struck With Appendicitis, Misses Today’s NJPW Event

Juice Robinson is battling appendicits.

The NJPW star and current IWGP United States champion missed today’s BOSJ (Best of the Super Juniors) finals from Nippon Budokan due to his condition, where he was scheduled to face Tomoaki Honma. The promotion made an official announcement on their website, which revealed that Robinson would be replaced by Ryohei Oiwa.

“Juice Robinson, who was scheduled to face Tomoaki Honma in a singles match at tonight’s Best of the Super Jr. final in the Nippon Budokan, has been struck with appendicitis, and will be unable to appear as planned. We deeply apologise to fans looking forward to seeing Juice wrestle, and appreciate your understanding.”

The appendicitis diagnosis derails some heavy momentum made by Robinson, who earlier this year had told the pro-wrestling media that he was not planning to renew his NJPW contract, only to later join the company’s top faction, The Bullet Club.

At NJPW STRONG’s Captial Collision event in Washington D.C. Robinson won a fatal-four way bout featuring himself, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Will Ospreay, and top AEW talent Jon Moxley, to become IWGP U.S. champion for the third-time in his career, which ties a record for reigns.

As of now NJPW has not provided any timetable for Robinson, but appendicitis typically takes up to four weeks to recover from, not including surgery. We’ll keep you updated on his condition as more details emerge.

Miro Makes His Grand Return At Tonight’s AEW Dynamite

AEW President Tony Khan had announced earlier in the day that Johnny Elite would be competing on this evening’s Dynamite from Los Angeles, as Elite had signed an open challenge to face a mystery opponent.

That opponent ended up being former TNT champion Miro, who had been out of action since last fall with an injury. The Redeemer cut an epic promo promising his God that he was going to take back everything that was taken from him, and warning everyone who got in his path.

Miro’s wife, former WWE star CJ Perry (Lana) had tweeted out earlier in the day that she was going to keep a close eye on tonight’s Dynamite, a not-so-subtle hint that made many speculate that Miro would return.

As for Elite…he put up a good effort against Miro, but was eventually defeated when the Redeemer locked in his Game Over submission finisher. This was Miro’s first matchup since his loss to Bryan Danielson at Full Gear 2021, which was the final round of the World Title eliminator tournament.

Highlights can be seen below.
