  • Jim Ross Believes This Could Be His Last Year On AEW Commentary

    Jim Ross Believes This Could Be His Last Year On AEW Commentary

    Wrestling legend and All Elite Wrestling Commentator Jim Ross is preparing to slow down his career. He recently signed a new deal with the company to stay around as he hopes to use his years of wrestling broadcasting to good use. However, it seems this year could signal the end of his time as an AEW Commentator. 

    On his podcast, Grilling Jr., Ross said he believes this year could be his last as a commentator. The episode is currently on AdFreeShow Patreon, but WrestlePurist’s Twitter account was able to transcribe the following quote. 

    “…It’s realistic to think that (this will be last year in commentary). I’m 72 years old, I feel good, I get healthier every day, which is great, but I have to think realistically this could be my last year and more than likely will,” said Ross. 

    He also noted that his situation is still being determined and that his future as a commentator depends on himself and AEW President Tony Khan. Ross has shared that his new deal isn’t an extension but an entirely new contract. The company could use him in other business areas if he were to be removed from commentary for good. 

    His wealth of experience as a former WWE Executive Vice President of Talent Relations makes him very valuable for helping behind the scenes. He can also coach other potential AEW broadcasters to help them follow in his footsteps. That said, Ross seems to have started preparing himself to finish his phenomenal career as a commentator. 

    Jim Ross Current Health Update 

    One of the positive news Ross shared recently is that he is getting healthier after having surgery to remove cancer in his right hip. He had surgery on February 1 and seems to be recovering fine with the assistance of a walking cane. 

    On the March 7 episode of Grilling JR, he noted that he had his cane with him when he did commentary for AEW Revolution on March 3. He also reassured fans that he really uses it to initially move after being stationary for some time and that he feels good. 

    Khan has shown that he values Ross’s contributions to the broadcast team and ensures he is comfortable on the job. While it’s unfortunate that this may be JR’s last dance as a commentator, fans should celebrate the work he is still doing for AEW. 

  • Mercedes Mone Is All Elite: Former Sasha Banks Makes AEW Debut During Big Business

    AEW brought an exciting Big Business edition of Dynamite to fans in Boston this week. The debut of Mercedes Mone was expected, and fans were not disappointed.

    After a lot of speculation and many reports that she is coming to the Land of All Elite, Mercedes Mone made her debut for AEW at Big Business on March 13th. 

    Mercedes Mone’s AEW Debut

    AEW Dynamite opened up this week with Renee Paquette doing a talk-up backstage to hype tonight’s show. Then, a Maybach pulled up behind her, but they didn’t show who got out of the car at that time.

    Then the show opened up with a new star’s music, and CEO showed on the big screen. That morphed into Mercedes Mone, and she made her way out to a big ovation from the Boston crowd.

    She said that she is home, and then she thanked fans for sticking by her. She said that they will create magic in AEW, and she said that they are the reason that she is there.

    Mercedes then said that she is in AEW to make a big impression. She can’t wait to mix it up with the women in the roster and have some incredible matches. She brought up unfinished business she has with Willow, but she said that the biggest business she had to said that she is All Elite.

    Mercedes Mone & WWE

    WWE and Mercedes Mone were talking about her coming back to the company. Then they hit a financial roadblock.

    It was later reported that Mone wasn’t asking for more than the top female makes on the WWE roster. That being said, AEW was obviously able to offer her more, and now she is All Elite.

    We will have to see if her road ever takes her back to WWE. At this point, she is just getting started in AEW.

    SEScoops will have continued coverage of Mercedes Mone’ run in AEW. You never know what can happen next at this point.

  • AEW Big Business: WWE Superstars In Town Ahead Of Major Debut (Spoilers)

    AEW Big Business: WWE Superstars In Town Ahead Of Major Debut (Spoilers)

    AEW is ready to light Boston up with tonight’s ‘Big Business’ show, and two WWE Superstars have come to Beantown to support their debuting ally. 

    Much of that buzz around AEW Big Business surrounds Mercedes Mone, who is expected to make her official AEW debut during tonight’s show. Mone, who has been on AEW’s payroll for some time, has hardly been subtle when it comes to her involvement in the show. 

    WWE Superstars in Boston

    Mone’s debut is being seen by many as a sure thing, and the presence of two WWE Superstars certainly adds credence to the belief she’ll debut. Bayley and Naomi, both close friends of Mone, are in Boston ahead of tonight’s show, PW Insider reports.

    The three have been closely linked for years, with Bayley and Mone being the ‘Boss ‘n Hug Connection’ in WWE while it was with Naomi that Mone walked out of that same promotion two years ago. Bayley and Naomi made the trip to Japan in January 2023 to watch Mone make her NJPW debut at that year’s Wrestle Kingdom 17 event. The pair were also at NJPW Battle in the Valley 2023, which saw Mone capture the IWGP Women’s Championship. 

    Bayley and Mone were in attendance when Naomi, as Trinity, made her debut for TNA Wrestling (IMPACT Wrestling at the time) in May of last year. The pair were also present at TNA Hard to Kill 2024, which saw Trinity lose the TNA Knockouts Championship to current champ Jordynne Grace. 

    AEW Dynamite – March 13th, 2024

    Here is what fans can look forward to on tonight’s show.

    • AEW World Championship: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Wardow

    Tony Khan Vows He Won’t Disappoint Fans with AEW Big Business Dynamite

    Fans of AEW will be very satisfied with what transpires on tonight’s ‘Big Business’ edition of Dynamite, Tony Khan has promised. 

    AEW Big Business will be the first show of its name and has garnered a ton of buzz. Much of that buzz surrounds Mercedes Mone, who is expected to make her official AEW debut during tonight’s show. Mone, who has been on AEW’s pay-roll for some time, has hardly been subtle when it comes to her involvement in the show. 

    Tony Khan’s Vow

    While many see Mone’s debut as a done deal, AEW President Tony Khan has unsurprisingly not commented on the reports of her much-anticipated arrival. Speaking with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Khan didn’t reference the Mone rumors by name but guaranteed a satisfying show. 

    “I promise I will not disappoint the fans tonight. There has been an influx of huge names, and tonight is the biggest show yet.”

    Khan also spoke about his roster, which he believes to be the best in wrestling, and is confident tonight’s show will showcase something very special. 

    “I think that constant innovation and the perpetual strides toward always wanting to get better are a big part of the spirit of AEW. I think tonight’s Big Business show on TBS will showcase that innovation.”

  • Daily Drop (3/13): John Cena WrestleMania Update, Another AEW Debut

    Welcome to SEScoops: the Daily Drop, your go-to for the latest news and rumors in wrestling for Wednesday, March 13. A lot of things changed in the past 24 hours, so let’s take a look.

    Days until WrestleMania 40: 24

    Tonight is AEW Dynamite Big Business, and AEW fans are expecting Mercedes Mone’s debut for the company. That being said, expect updates as we get closer to the big Boston show, and afterward.

    WWE:

    – John Cena is not locked in for WrestleMania 40 yet. I was told that they are still working on him. For what it’s worth, James Gunn said that Peacemaker season 2 is slated for the summer, so that probably won’t affect Mania. We will have to see what they can work out.

    – WWE confirmed that SummerSlam 2024 is coming to Cleveland on August 3rd at the Cleveland Browns Stadium.

    – The March 11th episode of Monday Night RAW attracted 1.751 million viewers, showing growth from the previous week’s viewership of 1,649,000. Additionally, this week’s show achieved a 0.56 rating in the highly coveted 18-49 demographic, up from last week’s rating of 0.54.

    – While making the big SummerSlam announcement, Logan Paul also said that Dave Chappelle, and so many more, will be at the biggest party of the summer in Cleveland. 

    – Trick Williams seemingly confirmed his relationship with Lash Legend during WWE NXT this week in a very public way.

    – KSI strangely called himself the Next Shane McMahon. So, take that for what it’s worth.

    – Odds are, Gigi Dolin’s character on WWE NXT is about to go through a bit of a change.

    – John Cena said he is retiring from in-ring competition at 50-years-old.

    WWE NXT 2024 Stand & Deliver Card (So Far):

    • Ilja Dragunov (c) vs. Tony D’Angelo – Singles match for the NXT Championship
    • Baron Corbin and Bron Breakker (c) vs. Tournament Winners – Tag team match for the NXT Tag Team Championship
    • Carmelo Hayes vs Trick Williams

    AEW:

    – As expected, Mercedes Mone has arrived in Boston ahead of AEW Dynamite this week.

    – Shelton Benjamin reacted to the reports that he’s talking to AEW. He didn’t say no, but he also didn’t 100% confirm it. Odds are, the former Hurt Business member will find his way to the Land of All Elite.

    – CJ Perry said that social media has really been getting her down since the Miro split.

    – AEW star Buddy Matthews was shown during WWE RAW alongside Rhea Ripley at UFC 299. They did not name him, but Pat McAfee did ask who Ripley was with. Michael Cole just carried on with the show instead of addressing the former WWE Superstar in the photo.

    – During SXSW, Bryan Danielson made it clear that he doesn’t want to win the AEW World Title. He said, ”I’ve had some people ask me or say things to me like, ‘Oh Bryan, you should be champion or you should’ve been champion’ or you should’ve this or you should’ve that and the reality is to me, no, the champions that we’ve had have been great. Hangman (Adam Page) was a great champion, MJF was a great champion and it elevated these younger people to where now these people are stars and you put Hangman on TV now and he draws a rating. You put MJF on TV, he draws a rating. It would be easy to just take stars of the past and make them your champion and make them your top guy. That’s the easy way. It’s much harder to take somebody like MJF who hadn’t been on national television and turn him into a star that draws ratings… That was my bigger goal is to transfer stardom from one generation to another.”

    – Sting’s first post-AEW retirement appearance will go down at Galaxy Con on March 16th,

  • Alexa Bliss Responds To A Fan Asking Her Thoughts On Mercedes Mone

    Alexa Bliss Responds To A Fan Asking Her Thoughts On Mercedes Mone

    WWE star Alexa Bliss was recently asked about Mercedes Mone (formerly Sasha Banks in WWE) and ‘The Goddess’ had nothing but praise for the former NJPW star.

    Alexa Bliss and former IWGP Women’s Champion Mercedes Mone have a fair share of history and their rivalry stemmed from their days in NXT. The duo have presented several memorable matches and their rivalry remains to be one of the best chapters in the company. Going back and forth on multiple occasions, Mercedes Mone has certainly earned Bliss’ respect.

    Alexa Bliss recently held a Q&A session on Twitter/X and she was asked about her former rival in WWE, Mercedes Mone, who departed WWE in 2022 due to issues with the creative team.

    Alexa Bliss comments on Mercedes Mone

    One of the fans asked Alexa Bliss to share her thoughts on the former Sasha Banks and she responded with a two-worded answer. 

    Here is what Alexa Bliss said:

    “Very talented”

    Mercedes Mone has been the talk of the town ahead of the highly expected debut in AEW tonight. Last month, AEW President Tony Khan had announced that on March 13, AEW Dynamite will take place at the TD Garden in Boston, MA. Fans have since speculated that the location and the show’s name being dubbed “Big Business” could mean that Mercedes Mone will make her debut at the show.

    Fans are eagerly waiting for tonight’s ‘Big Business’ edition of AEW Dynamite and we will have to wait and see how it goes down in her hometown.

  • Boss Time! Mercedes Mone Flaunts ‘Bosston’ Arrival Ahead of AEW Big Business

    Boss Time! Mercedes Mone Flaunts ‘Bosston’ Arrival Ahead of AEW Big Business

    Tonight’s AEW Dynamite is expected to mark the debut of Mercedes Mone, and the ex-Superstar is hardly being subtle with her imminent arrival. 

    From the moment AEW announced its ‘Big Business’ edition of Dynamite, there had been speculation that Mone would be joining the company. That same month, it was reported that Mone had been signed to the company and had been on the company’s payroll for some time. Mone has not publicly commented on reports that she has already signed with AEW. 

    Mercedes Mone is In ‘Bosston’ 

    Many see Mone’s debut on tonight’s edition of AEW Dynamite as a foregone conclusion, and her most recent social media post certainly adds credence to the idea that she’ll appear on the show.

    Taking to social media, Mone shared a photo from her flight to make clear she’s arrived in her hometown on Boston, MA, where tonight’s Dynamite will take place. If this wasn’t clear enough, Mone refers to ‘Beantown’ as ‘Bosston’ which is how the city is referred to on promotional material for the Big Business Dynamite. 

    Update: Wednesday afternoon, with five hours until Dynamite, Mone kept the hype going:

    AEW Dynamite Preview:

    Here our preview for tonight’s AEW Dynamite: Big Business special live from Boston’d TD Garden:

    What’s Next for Mercedes Mone? 

    Should Mone debut for Dynamite tonight as expected, there’s no shortage of talented women she can step in the ring with. Some have speculated that a feud with Saraya could happen given their history. It was a move from Mone (Sasha Banks) at the time, that led to Saraya (Paige) being forced to retire from wrestling due to a neck injury. The Brit would return to the ring at Full Gear 2022. 

  • Shelton Benjamin Reacts to Reports of AEW Discussions

    WWE released Shelton Benjamin, along with a lot more, in September 2023. Although some have shown up in another company’s ring, Benjamin has been biding his time, and it appears he has a suitor.

    Shelton Benjamin didn’t shut down the idea of going to AEW while speaking to the Monopoly Events YouTube channel. After all, there are a lot of great opponents for him to face in the Land of All Elite.

    Shelton Benjamin Reacts

    Ongoing talks have been happening between Shelton Benjamin and AEW, considering his potential appearances for the company. Details about a potential contract or full-time deal are still uncertain, but these discussions started about a month ago.

    In a recent interview on the Monopoly Events YouTube channel, Jamal Niaz talked with Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin expressed interest in wrestling Will Ospreay and Kazuchika Okada. He also mentioned that he’s open to appearing in AEW.Shelton Benjamin expressed his interest in potentially working with Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay, highlighting their exceptional talents and expressing admiration for their athleticism.

    While acknowledging the allure of these matchups, he emphasized his enjoyment and versatility in working with various opponents. Benjamin kept the possibility of joining AEW open, stating that he hasn’t ruled out any opportunities at this time.

    ”I think it could be a lot of fun. So, those names are at the top of my list, but obviously, I enjoy what I do, I love what I do, and I can pretty much mesh with anybody. So, it’s just a matter of what they think but, as far as AEW goes, that door’s open — my door is open. I haven’t eliminated any possibilities as of yet.”

    Shelton Benjamin as a Free Agent

    Shelton Benjamin hasn’t shown up in another company since his WWE release. Only time will tell when he gets the deal he’s looking for.

    We will have to see if Shelton Benjamin is another name that Tony Khan decides to sign. With AEW Big Business coming up on March 13th, you never know who will arrive in AEW next.

    SEScoops will have ongoing coverage of AEW Big Business, and everything else involving the company’s upcoming events. Keep checking back for constant updates!

  • Vince McMahon Had Interesting Request For Bryan Danielson Concerning WWE vs AEW

    Vince McMahon Had Interesting Request For Bryan Danielson Concerning WWE vs AEW

    Vince McMahon was well aware that Tony Khan opened up AEW, even though he didn’t want to give them any added attention. He did want to know if they were doing anything special that WWE wasn’t.

    Bryan Danielson revealed that he received a phone call from Vince McMahon late one night while he was still with WWE. McMahon had a very interesting question to ask about AEW vs WWE programming, and that caused Bryan to investigate.

    McMahon’s Request of Bryan Danielson

    While speaking at SXSW, Bryan Danielson opened up a bit about WWE’s creative situation with Vince McMahon. He revealed that The Chairman of the Board called him one night, and he asked a very interesting question about AEW.

    It seems that Vince wanted to know what AEW is doing that WWE isn’t doing. After watching a lot of television, Bryan Danielson had a number of things to report back to Mr. McMahon.

    “Vince McMahon actually called me one night, I was part of WWE creative, and he called me one night and said, ‘What is AEW doing that we’re not doing?’ I went back and watched eight straight weeks of TV within the span of six days and was like, ‘there is a whole list of things.’”

    Bryan Danielson is a treasured member of the AEW roster now. Not only is he one of the top in-ring names that the company has, but he also plays a very important role backstage.

    What’s Next

    Danielson is one of three people reportedly in AEW’s disciplinary committee. It is apparently only Bryan and two other unnamed attorneys. Those are the people responsible for handing down any punishments, suspensions, or terminations. Obviously, AEW has provided Danielson with an amazing opportunity outside the ring.

    Vince McMahon is no longer calling the shots in WWE, as he was ousted following Janel Grant’s lawsuit. Now, we will have to wait and see what is next for him, but odds are he won’t be making any more late-night calls to Bryan Danielson.

    SEScoops will have more on this story, and so much more, in the pro wrestling world. Please keep checking back for constant updates

  • CJ Perry Says Social Media Has Hit Her Mental Health Hard Following Separation with Miro

    CJ Perry Says Social Media Has Hit Her Mental Health Hard Following Separation with Miro

    AEW’s CJ Perry has spoke about the impact social media has made on her mental health following her split from fellow All-Elite talent Miro. 

    TMZ Sports first reported earlier this week that the couple had “broke up once and for all” and that their split had happened in the winter of last year. It was added that the pair had been experiencing an on-and-off relationship for several years. 

    CJ Perry on Social Media

    Taking to Twitter, Perry didn’t address the split directly but spoke about her mental health being severely impacted whenever she is on the platform. Perry added that it’s hardly a surprise that for the most part she tries to keep off of the site. 

    CJ Perry and Miro

    Perry and Miro, as Lana and Rusev respectively, met in WWE and the Ravishing Russian would serve as a manager. The couple were called up to the main roster in 2014 but had an on-screen split in 2015. That year’s angle, which saw Rusev align with Summer Rae and Lana with Dolph Ziggler, was cut short after Miro and Perry announced their real life engagement. 

    Miro would be released from WWE in 2020 and debuted for AEW under his real name that same year. Perry’s tenure as Lana ended the following year and she joined AEW in 2023. At AEW Worlds End, Perry turned on Andrade El Idolo following the former NXT Champion’s loss to Miro. While many saw this as a sign of Miro and Perry reuniting as an on-screen duo, it’s unclear what the future holds given their real-life separation.

When this thing first came out, it came to fruition, I got contacted by Steve, Sting. He was telling me what he wanted to do and then in that same breath, he said, ‘What can you do physicality-wise?

  • AEW Star Makes Surprise Appearance on 3/11 WWE RAW in Photo with Rhea Ripley

    AEW Star Makes Surprise Appearance on 3/11 WWE RAW in Photo with Rhea Ripley

    One of the stars of AEW was shown on this week’s Raw in what has become a surprising trend by the Sports Entertainment Juggernaut.

    The March 11, edition of Monday Night Raw saw the red brand Superstars continue on the road to WrestleMania 40. Sami Zayn earned an Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania with a victory in a Gauntlet match, besting five very game opponents. Elsewhere on the show, Jey Uso laid down a challenge to his treacherous brother Jimmy for a match in Philadelphia.

    Buddy Matthews on WWE Raw

    During this week’s Raw, WWE shared a photo from UFC 299, hardly a surprise given that WWE & UFC are part of TKO Group Holdings. The photo in question, as Michael Cole made clear, was of Rhea Ripley at the most recent UFC event. Ripley was photographed with her fiance Buddy Matthews of AEW. Cole didn’t mention AEW or Matthews, despite Pat McAfee asking “with who?!” was Ripley sat with. 

    Monday Night Raw is All Elite

    While Matthews’ appearance was a surprise during this week’s Raw, he is hardly the first AEW star to be referenced on WWE’s longest-running weekly episodic show. Last week, Michael Cole made reference to Sting, who had competed in his final match at AEW Revolution 2024. Cole made sure to congratulate the Icon who had been with WWE from 2014 to 2020. 

    In June 2022, WWE celebrated 20 years since the on-screen debut of John Cena. Many of Cena’s greatest rivals paid tribute to the 16-time WWE World Champion, including some from AEW. Bryan Danielson, Paul Wight, and Chris Jericho all appeared on Raw via video packages to recognize the impressive career of ‘Big Match John.’

  • AEW Injury: Star Addresses Broken Jaw That Will Require Surgery

    AEW Injury: Star Addresses Broken Jaw That Will Require Surgery

    AEW has a lot of injuries on their roster. Some are actually expressing concern about that at this point, as Al Snow said he expects someone to die in an AEW ring if things aren’t fixed. Now, we have another unfortunate injury to report.

    Anthony Henry, 1/2 of the WorkHorsemen, is no longer part of the active roster. He is dealing with a broken jaw, and it appears that surgery will be needed.

    Henry’s Injury

    Anthony Henry shared his uncertainty and worry regarding his broken jaw, admitting it to be an unfamiliar and daunting injury for him. Wrestling is an integral part of his life, and he expressed a sense of loss without it and voiced concerns about how the injury might impact future plans, particularly those involving his tag team partner, JD Drake.

    Henry hinted at a possible hiatus from social media during this time but conveyed appreciation to the fans for their support. The WorkHorsemen member was obviously distraught to reveal this injury news for fans.

    In an update on Twitter/X, Henry revealed feeling devastated after sustaining the injury during a match against Bryan Keith, where a knee strike caused his jaw to break. He expressed disappointment and mentioned missing out on upcoming opportunities, including participation in the AEW tag team tournament with the WorkHorsemen. Henry indicated that there are also plans for surgery to address the injury.

    Anthony Henry’s Tag Team Career

    The WorkHorsemen have achieved notable success throughout their careers, including winning the AWE Tag Team Championship, DPW Worlds Tag Team Championship, EVOLVE Tag Team Championship, and FW Tag Team Championship. Additionally, they were ranked #57 in the 2022 PWI Top 100 Tag Teams. Now, the team has to pump the brakes as Henry suffered this bad break.

    We’re sending out our best to Anthony Henry. This is terrible news, and it certainly stopped his momentum. Hopefully, he can heal up fast and get back to the ring ASAP.

    SEScoops will have more on this story, and so much more, as additional updates are made available. 

  • AEW’s CJ Perry Confirms Separation From Husband Miro

    AEW’s CJ Perry and Miro are moving on from one another.

    Earlier today, TMZ Sports reported that CJ Perry (formerly known as Lana) and Miro (formerly known as Rusev) had “broke[n] up once and for all” in the winter of 2023 after several years of an on-and-off relationship. The couple, who officially tied to knot in July 2016, is said to have simply drifted apart. 

    While the couple has yet to file for divorce, Miro reportedly moved back to his home country of Bulgaria shortly after he and Perry made the decision to break up. 

    CJ Perry has since confirmed their split to TMZ, stating, “Miro and I have made the difficult decision to separate after many wonderful years together, and have decided to move on as friends, and hopefully onscreen characters somewhere down the road.” 

    AEW Ventures

    In the months following his release from WWE in 2020, Miro inked a contract with All Elite Wrestling, where he became a one-time TNT Champion.

    In September 2023, Perry would follow suit as she attempted to save Miro from a post-match attack from Powerhouse Hobbs in her AEW debut, which took place at the All Out pay-per-view. Upon signing with AEW, Perry has reprised her role as an on-screen manager, taking on the likes of Action Andretti and Andrade El Idolo.

    Perry’s most recent appearance occurred at AEW Worlds End in December, in which she accompanied Andrade to the ring in his match against Miro. However, in a surprise turn of events, Perry turned on Andrade, subsequently causing him to lose his aforementioned match to Miro. 

    Andrade has since rejoined WWE.

  • AEW Hack: Max Caster Humorously Cries Hacker After Series Of Mean Tweets

    Max Caster knows how to get under fans’ skin. He makes a living as a heel now, and the Bang Bang Scissor Gang gives him a lot of creative freedom. He may have gone over the line recently, but he was HACKED!

    AEW’s resident rapper recently took to Twitter/X to said that all of his mean tweets last night was the result of a hacker. That being said, he’s not taking any of them down and agrees with each word that hacker had to say.

    Max Caster’s “Hack”

    Max Caster knows how to use his words in very creative ways. He recently went on a tear, where he released a few brutal tweets at fans.

    On Monday morning, he logged back onto Twitter/X, where he made it very clear that he was the victim of a hack. This was all part of his character, because he’s not going to dismiss himself from anything that nefarious hacker said to fans.

    He released a message along with a text graphic that let everyone know what he was up to. As he cleaned up the mess left by the hacker, he decided to leave all traces of this phony cyberattack.

    From Max, Hello, users of X (formerly Twitter).

    My followers, my former followers, and wrestling fans… Last night, while I was asleep, I was hacked by a hacker. That person proceeded to correspond antagonizing messages to you, the fans. They caused a lot of problems that I would never intend to start. Ironically, I stand behind all the opinions and statements made by my hacker, and I will not be deleting the posts. However, rest assured that I have full control of my account once again. Thank you for understanding.

    Humbly, The Best Wrestler Alive

    You can check out a few of the mean tweets that Max Caster’s “hacker” sent out in the space below. They are still up, and there are a few more as well. He’s obviously not backing down from any of them.

    What’s Next

    We will have to see what Max Caster does next to catch attention. He is known for catching headlines with controversial remarks, and this one was incredibly inventive.

    Max Caster and Anthony Bowens’ drive in AEW was put on another level when Billy Gunn joined them. We have to wonder whose idea it was to pull off this hacker deal, but we have to give him credit.

    SEScoops will have more on this story, and so much more, in the pro wrestling world. Keep checking back for the headlines that you need.

  • Someone Will Die: Al Snow Issues Grave Prediction for AEW Talent

    Someone Will Die: Al Snow Issues Grave Prediction for AEW Talent

    AEW has faced criticism from all over the pro wrestling world for a variety of things from their booking to the wrestlers Tony Khan signs to a contract. The fact that injuries seem to be prevalent is also a topic of conversation.

    Al Snow is a veteran in the pro wrestling business, and he has a lot to say. He recently expressed the idea that, unless things change, someone will die in an AEW ring.

    Al Snow’s Deathly Prediction For AEW

    Former WWE star and OVW owner, Al Snow, appeared on Vince Russo’s Youtube channel to share his concerns about the current AEW product, which he perceives as unsafe.

    Snow explained to Russo why he believes that a wrestler may eventually suffer a fatal injury inside an AEW ring. Regarding the potential criticism of his views, Snow stated, “You’re going to have those that are going to defend it, and they’re going to get upset and take the… that I’ve got an axe to grind, and that I’m bitter, and I’m not,” emphasizing that he is satisfied with everything.

    Snow highlighted his past efforts in advocating for standards of training and safety in wrestling, particularly during his tenure at OVW. He expressed his belief that the escalation of risks in AEW matches may lead to a tragic accident.

    We now have escalated to where we watched Will Ospreay go up into a vertical suplex with the guy standing on the second rope and drop straight on his head. We watched Orange Cassidy get dropped bodily on the top rope and could almost be cut in half. OK? How much exponentially has the scale went up, that we’re going to watch someone die? Meaning… legitimately, they’re going to die right in front of your eyes in a match.

    AEW & Injuries

    AEW just suspended Sammy Guevara for injuring Jeff Hardy. There is also an idea that he ignored concussion protocol in the process. This suspension also sparked a lot of conversation within the pro wrestling fan base.

    Tony Khan allows his talent to do a lot of things in their matches that a company like OVW or WWE wouldn’t touch. The use of real glass at AEW Revolution sent shockwaves throughout the pro wrestling world, because that dangerous Darby Allin stunt could have gone much worse.

    SEScoops will have more on this story as additional updates are available. Keep checking back for the stories and headlines you need.

  • A Five-Star Idea? Kenny Omega Considering Rating Matches on Twitch Amid AEW Hiatus

    A Five-Star Idea? Kenny Omega Considering Rating Matches on Twitch Amid AEW Hiatus

    Kenny Omega could put his wrestling knowledge to use by ranking matches on Twitch amid his current absence from AEW. 

    The former AEW World Champion has been missing from AEW programming since late 2023 after being diagnosed with diverticulitis. At first, Omega believed he was dealing with a hernia, before receiving the accurate and alarming diagnosis. Despite recently being advertised for upcoming AEW events in his native Canada, there’s no timeline for when fans should expect Omega back in the ring. 

    Kenny Omega on Twitch? 

    While Omega hasn’t been competing, the AEW EVP has remained active on Twitch where fans can find him playing video games and sharing updates about his life and condition. Taking to Twitter, Omega said he’s thinking about delivering match ratings. the Cleaner admitted that the idea of rating matches may rub some fans the wrong way. 

    Omega’s Many Stars

    Kenny Omega isn’t rating matches yet but the former AEW World Champion knows all about giving high-star performances. Omega currently has 25 matches rated five or more stars by the Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer. 12 of these matches surpassed the five-star scale. His highest rated match took place at Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-jo Hall and saw Omega and Kazuchika Okada give a seven-star performance. 

    What’s Next?

    It’s ironic that Okada and Omega had the seven-star match as it seems the pair will face off nice more. On last week’ AEW Dynamite, the Young Bucks fired Omega as a member of the Elite. That same show saw Okada debut and align with the Bucks, seemingly replacing Omega in the role. 

  • Roster Rebuttal: AEW Star Says Company Doesn’t Need To Sign Shelton Benjamin

    Roster Rebuttal: AEW Star Says Company Doesn’t Need To Sign Shelton Benjamin

    AEW has a number of former WWE Superstars on their roster. It appears that they may be adding one more, but that doesn’t mean it will be a universally praised decision.

    Shelton Benjamin was released from WWE in September last year, but he hasn’t signed with another company yet. He may just end up in AEW at this point, and Max Caster couldn’t keep his opinion to himself. Caster doesn’t think AEW needs Shelton.

    Max Caster Reacts

    It was previously reported that AEW is in talks with Shelton Benjamin. That would be a great get for Tony Khan, because Shelty hasn’t ended up anywhere else since his WWE release in September 2023.

    Max Caster apparently heard this report, and he couldn’t keep his opinion to himself. While reacting to this new story about another former WWE Superstar who may be coming into the Land of All Elite, Caster posted on Twitter/X to let everyone know how he feels about things.

    We Don’t Want Him

    What’s Next For AEW & Shelton Benjamin

    Shelton Benjamin’s release was a surprise for many, because he is a veteran and has a ton of tools to offer any company he works for. At 48-years-old, Benjamin still has a lot of gas in the tank, and he just may end up in AEW soon enough.

    For what it’s worth, there have been people in AEW pulling for Tony Khan to sign Shelton Benjamin since before WWE released him. So, he does have people on the roster who are on his side. 

    AEW is looking ahead for their Big Business episode of Dynamite in Boston this week. March 13th’s episode will likely see the debut of Mercedes Mone for the company. It’s anyone’s guess how much longer fans will have to wait until Shelton Benjamin joins the mix.

    SEScoops will have more on this story, and everything else that AEW is doing to gain headlines. Please keep checking back for more details on the stories you need.

  • Adam Copeland Continues to Tease A Big Surprise For Christian Cage I-Quit Match

    Adam Copeland Continues to Tease A Big Surprise For Christian Cage I-Quit Match

    AEW TNT Champion Christian Cage is in for a world of hurt when he next faces Adam Copeland if the Rated-R Star is to be believed. 

    Since arriving in AEW at WrestleDream, the WWE Hall of Famer has feuded with his former friend. At AEW Worlds End, Cage captured the TNT Championship from Cage, his first title victory since 2011. Unfortunately for Copeland, his reign was short-lived as Killswitch would attack him from behind and gift his guaranteed TNT title shot to Cage who promptly won the gold back. 

    Copeland’s Surprise for Christian Cage

    On the March 6, episode of AEW Dynamite, Copeland ambushed Cage and challenged him to an I-Quit natch for the TNT Championship for the March 20, episode. The choice of date is no coincidence, as the show will take place in Toronto, Canada. 

    On the March 9, edition of AEW Collision, Copeland once again got the better of Cage and the Patriarchy. He also teased having a surprise for Cage when they next face for the TNT Championship. Taking to Twitter, Copeland continued to tease having something special for his former friend. 

    What’s Next?

    Hopefully, Copeland’s surprise will help nullify the numbers advantage that the Patriarchy gives the reigning AEW TNT Champion. In addition to Killswitch, Cage has Nick Wayne at his beck and call, as well as Mama Wayne. Copeland has some allies of his own in AEW, including Darby Allin and FTR.

  • Jay Lethal Paid Tribute To His Recently Passed Mother On 3/9 AEW Collision

    A recent AEW Collision match featuring Jay Lethal saw a tribute to the wrestler’s mother who sadly passed away very recently. 

    On last week’s episode of Collision, Lethal teamed with Mark Briscoe and Jeff Jarrett to face the House of Black in a street fight. The match saw the House of Black get the win after Malakai Black put Briscoe through a flaming table. 

    Jay Lethal’s Tribute

    Those who watched the Collision match closely may have noticed an armband worn by Jay Lethal. This is because Lethal’s mother Shirley Shipman passed away on February 29, PW Insider has learned. A celebration of her life will take place at the Nesbitt Funeral Home tomorrow in Elizabeth, New Jersey. More information can be found here.

    A Family Affair

    Shirley Shipman, like her husband Ron, was deeply supportive of their son’s pursuit of wrestling glory. The Shipman’s even got involved from time to time in their son’s career. During a 2012 ROH show, Lethal challenged Kevin Steen (now Owens) for the ROH World Championship. During the match, Steen antagonized the Shipman’s who were sat at ringside by biting Jay. Ron fired back by throwing his drink at the Canadian, prompting Steen to spit in Shirley’s face. This exchange would fire up Jay to the delight of the crowd. 

    During a JAPW show, Lethal and his father were outnumbered by heels for a six man tag where Ron was to team with his son against Steve Corino, Ricky Landell and Rick Silver. Shirley came out to proclaim that they had a partner before introducing Charlie Haas. 

    We at SE Scoops would like to extend our deepest condolences to Jay and his family at this very sad time.

  • Shelton Benjamin In Talks with AEW Months After WWE Release

    Shelton Benjamin In Talks with AEW Months After WWE Release

    WWE released a list of talent in September 2024, and Shelton Benjamin was on that list. That being said, he has been conspicuously absent from any big announcement about going elsewhere. It turns out there is interest in him.

    Shelton Benjamin has not ended up in TNA, AEW, NJPW, or anywhere. According to a new report, there are some suitors out there for the veteran former WWE Superstar.

    Shelton Benjamin & AEW

    According to reports from Fightful Select, Shelton Benjamin, who is currently unaffiliated with any company, has garnered interest from various potential promotions. 

    While initially there was no contact between Shelton Benjamin and All Elite Wrestling upon his free agency, recent conversations between the two parties have taken place. These discussions revolved around the possibility of Benjamin making appearances for the company. 

    It remains uncertain whether Benjamin would enter into a contract or a full-time deal with AEW, or if any formal agreements have been reached.

    Talks regarding potential appearances for Benjamin reportedly started approximately a month ago, although the specifics of any arrangement were not disclosed. Obviously, he could provide a boost for any roster he joins.

    Shelton Benjamin’s WWE Release & Beyond

    Despite rumors last year about Shelton Benjamin’s WWE contract expiring, he was eventually released by the company in the fall of 2023. Benjamin’s release from WWE opened up the possibility for him to explore opportunities with other wrestling promotions. 

    Having been with WWE since before the inception of AEW, Benjamin had not previously had the chance to work with Tony Khan’s company. Things may change in that regard soon enough.

    Shelton Benjamin has a notable history in Ring of Honor. Benjamin’s extensive experience in the wrestling industry makes him an attractive prospect for potential employers. 

    We will have to see where Shelton Benjamin shows up next, but he’s not out of the conversation entirely. SEScoops will have more on this story as additional updates are made available. 

  • Matt Hardy Speaks Out on Sammy Guevara’s AEW Suspension After Jeff Hardy Incident

    Matt Hardy Speaks Out on Sammy Guevara’s AEW Suspension After Jeff Hardy Incident

    Sammy Guevara is currently serving a suspension due to his involvement in a match against Jeff Hardy on February 14th. This was apparently news to Matt Hardy.

    Matt Hardy has now reacted to Sammy Guevara’s suspension. He didn’t have a ton to say, but this was apparently breaking new to him when he heard that it happened. Matt was somewhat involved, because he got in the ring and gave Guevara the middle finger after the ordeal went down during that Rampage taping.

    Matt Hardy Reacts

    Sammy Guevara has maintained a consistent presence on AEW television since joining the roster in 2019. However, he has been involved with several incidents resulting in injuries to his opponents, including the most recent altercation involving Jeff Hardy. That doesn’t even count his backstage controversies, like his fight with Andrade. 

    As a consequence of these actions against Jeff Hardy, Guevara has been suspended from AEW. Following Guevara’s suspension, Hardy has now responded to the situation. 

    During the Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt Hardy spoke briefly about Sammy Guevara’s suspension. He hadn’t heard anything about this suspension, but he did believe the report when he heard it.

    “The whole thing about Sammy being suspended was all new to me until broken by Sean Ross Sapp, that was all new to me, but it is what it is, I guess.”

    What’s Next For Sammy Guevara and Jeff Hardy

    During this encounter in the ring with Guevara, Jeff Hardy sustained an injury, and it appears that proper concussion protocol was not followed. Additionally, Guevara executed his finishing move on Hardy, a maneuver that should have been avoided, but things transpired as they did.

    Jeff Hardy did sustain a broken nose, but no concussion was reported. Now, he is in the middle of a slow process to receive his medical clearance once again.

    SEScoops will have more on this story, and so many more, as things break in the pro wrestling world. You never know what can happen next, but we will be here witih the headlines you need.

  • Surprise Performance: Britt Baker Takes Stage at Zach Bryan Pittsburgh Concert During AEW Hiatus

    Surprise Performance: Britt Baker Takes Stage at Zach Bryan Pittsburgh Concert During AEW Hiatus

    Britt Baker’s time on AEW television was greatly limited last year. In fact, Tony Khan didn’t let her cut a single promo on Dynamite. That being said, she was welcomed to take the microphone at a recent Zach Bryan concert.

    The former AEW Women’s Champion showed up at a Zach Bryan concert over the weekend. She got on stage, and was able to perform a duet in the process.

    Britt Baker’s Big Musical Moment

    AEW wrestlers can get some pretty cool opportunities thanks to their public status. Britt Baker took full advantage of her public figure status recently, and fans at the Zach Bryan were incredibly happy to see her.

    During her hiatus from AEW, Britt Baker shared a video on Twitter of herself performing alongside country singer Zach Bryan at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

    It was evident from the video that she thoroughly enjoyed herself at the concert. She also included a little caption to sum everything up

    “Baptize me in a bottle of Beam”

    Britt Baker in AEW

    Since her appearance on the September 16 episode of AEW Collision, where she faced Kris Statlander in a TBS Championship match and suffered a loss, Britt Baker has been dealing with a persistent injury that has kept her sidelined. Consequently, she has been unable to participate in any matches since that time, as she focuses on recovering from her injury and ensuring her long-term health and well-being.

    She has been battling injuries for a while, even during his time as AEW Women’s World Champion. Hopefully, she will get back to good health, so she can compete at a  competitive level once again. In the meantime, fans in Brittsburgh were surprised to see their home city champion at the Zach Bryan concert.

    SEScoops will have more on this story as additional details are made available. Keep checking back for more of the headlines you need.
