    Alberto Del Rio: “I Deserve To Be In A Major Company”

    Former WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio recently spoke with SEScoops correspondent Steve Fall for NBC Sports Boston about the possibility of wrestling for AEW.

    Del Rio is open to the idea, and says he deserves to be wrestling on a big stage.

    “I would be interested in going to AEW, or any major company… I deserve to be in a major companY.”

    – Alberto Del Rio

    He continued, “Once it has been proven that I was always telling the truth about those things, I know, I don’t think…. I know I deserve to be out there to continue entertaining and to rebuild my legacy in the business that I love I would love to be in working for any major company.”

    Alberto Del Rio talks AEW

    Del Rio said he hasn’t been in touch with anybody from AEW, but has good friends who work there and would welcome the opportunity to be considered All Elite.

    “They (AEW)….. I haven’t talked to any anyone in that company. I have talked to people in from other companies, but not from from AEW.”

    “I have really good friends over there like Phil… CM Punk and he is one of my friends in the business and Chris Jericho he was always nice to me and we always had a good relationship while we were workin for WWE. I know all the others and we always got along with Daniel Bryan, Jack Swagger and many others from the indy circuit.”

  • Update on Popular AEW Tag Team Not Getting Along

    Update on Popular AEW Tag Team Not Getting Along

    There have been rumblings over the last few weeks of an AEW tag team no longer being on the same page.

    The talks simply started as speculation, rather than a report. Fans took notice of Santana and Ortiz not really being together for their feud with the Jericho Appreciation Society.

    While the duo had been involved in multi-man tag team matches, they weren’t really seen together, which got people talking.

    As they say, where there’s smoke there’s fire.

    Konnan Claims Tension is Real

    (via IMPACT Wrestling)

    Konnan has taken to his Keepin’ it 100 podcast and he confirmed that there are indeed issues between Santana and Ortiz.

    “Yes, they are not on good terms.”

    Konnan on Santana & Ortiz

    Konnan is close with both men, so he certainly has credibility when it comes to the topic at hand.

    It’s quite the turn of events as many felt Santana & Ortiz had the potential to eventually win the AEW World Tag Team Titles after the Inner Circle disbanded.

    Santana is expected to be out of action for quite some time as he suffered a knee injury during the recent Blood & Guts match.

    On top of that, Santana’s AEW contract is reportedly going to be up soon.

    While it isn’t confirmed, some have speculated that he has been teasing leaving the promotion once his deal expires.

  • Is Chris Jericho Teasing a Return to WWE?

    Is Chris Jericho Teasing a Return to WWE?

    In 2019, Chris Jericho was one of the very first names to join All Elite Wrestling, a decision that has certainly paid off for the veteran wrestler.

    That same year, Jericho became the very first AEW World Champion and has been a mainstay of the company’s programming over the past three years.

    Jericho is one of the biggest names to ever compete for Tony Khan but it could be time he returns back to where he once worked.

    Jericho’s Return?

    Jericho may be a huge name in AEW, but it may be time for him to return to WWE.

    On Twitter, an article was shared dictating five reasons why the former World Champion will one day come back to WWE, now run by Stephanie McMahon.

    Jericho didn’t say anything about the content but did retweet the article, seemingly teasing a comeback.

    Jericho in WWE

    Jericho and WWE first began speaking in 1995, years before Y2J would actually join the promotion.

    That year, there was talk about bringing Jericho in, but he turned down the idea, fearing he would be cast as ‘The Goon,’ a heel ice-hockey player that Jericho felt was a reference to his father Ted Irvine.

    Joining in 1999, Jericho would go on to become a nine-time Intercontinental Champion, a record that stands to this day.

    He is also the first Undisputed Champion, having defeated The Rock and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin at Vengeance 2001 to unify the WWF and World Championships.

    Former AEW Star Discusses Silence From Tony Khan Before His Release

    Tony Khan has made a point of not releasing stars mid-contract until it’s absolutely necessary. Though the AEW owner has also received some criticism for ceasing communication with talents they have decided to let go.

    Marko Stunt is one such AEW original whose run with the company ended recently. He made his debut at the promotion’s Inaugural Double Or Nothing event. He left AEW after the officials decided not to renew his contract earlier this year.

    The former AEW talent opened up about his departure from the promotion during an interview with NBC Sports Boston. Stunt mentioned how he didn’t have any communication with Khan towards the end of his run:

    “I never really had any communication at the end. So I didn’t know if I was getting let go or renewed or anything. I sent out an email and didn’t get a response. I texted him and didn’t get a response.

    But about a month before it happened, I did get a call,” said Marko Stunt, “And I got told, not by him, but I did get the phone call that I wasn’t gonna be renewed.”

    The former AEW star revealed that he texted Tony Khan after receiving the news. He thanked the AEW owner for the opportunities he was given.

    The AEW president did respond to this text from Marko Stunt. Khan thanked him in return and said sorry for not being able to find a spot for him moving forward.

  • WWE Superstar Praises AEW’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournaments

    WWE Superstar Praises AEW’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournaments

    Earlier this year, AEW celebrated the life and legacy of Owen Hart with two tournaments named after the Rocket.

    Those tournaments concluded at Double or Nothing, with Adam Cole defeating Samoa Joe to win the Men’s Tournament, while Dr. Britt Baker bested Ruby Soho to win the women’s.

    Both successful wrestlers were presented with special titles designed around the legendary wrestler who fell to his death at WWF Over the Edge 1999.

    The tournaments earned widespread acclaim from fans, as well as support from one current WWE Superstar.

    Natalya Weighs In

    Speaking to Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, Natalya was asked about her thoughts on the tournament.

    It makes sense to ask Natalya, who is part of the Hart family, and her status as a WWE Superstar did not stop her from praising AEW’s work (via Wrestling Inc.)

    “They did a really nice job honoring Owen … the way Martha wanted to honor him.”

    Natalya

    Speaking about Owen’s widow Dr. Martha Hart, who appeared at Double or Nothing, Natalya commended her resolve.

    Martha has refused to work with WWE since her husband’s death in May 1999 which is why Owen has not gone into the Hall of Fame.

    “Nobody can understand or imagine what she went through. What would it be like if I got that phone call about TJ [TJ Wilson?]…Any way that she feels, I think she’s totally justified.  [The tournament] was her call. And it always should be her call.”

    “Any way that she feels, I think she’s totally justified.”

    Natalya on Martha Hart’s opposition to WWE.

    Natalya added that she has a tremendous amount of respect for her aunt despite her position with WWE.

  • New Report Says WB Discovery Asked AEW For “Shark Week” Tie-In

    New Report Says WB Discovery Asked AEW For “Shark Week” Tie-In

    A new report has surfaced explaining a strange stipulation that is happening on next week’s edition of AEW Dynamite.

    The Mad King Eddie Kingston will be clashing with his current Rival Chris Jericho in a barb-wired deathmatch, one that should be a fitting end to their months long feud. However, Jericho’s faction, the Jericho Appreciation Society, will all be hovering above the ring inside of a shark cage as the guaranteed bloodbath occurs.

    According to Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer, this is happening on a request from Warner Bros Discovery. The publication notes that the network asked AEW to add some sort of tie-in promoting their annual programming event, Shark Week. The deep dive (no pun intended) of one the sea’s most unique creatures began back in 1988.

    Kingston holds a victory over Jericho from their clash at Revolution earlier this year, but the rivalry only intensified after The Wizard through a fireball in Kingston’s face. This has led to the critically acclaimed Anarchy in the Arena brawl from Double or Nothing, and the more recent Blood & Guts showdown in Detroit.

    Stay tuned.

  • Chris Jericho Details ‘Terrible’ Experience Working With Attitude Era Star

    Chris Jericho Details ‘Terrible’ Experience Working With Attitude Era Star

    Chris Jericho’s first real angle in WWE was with Chyna. WWE was pushing her as someone who can compete with male talents and put the IC belt on her. Jericho feuded with her over the championship and put her over. Though according to Y2J, his own experience of working with the Attitude Era star was terrible.

    The AEW star recently appeared on True Geordie podcast. He talked about things such as fans calling out stars for botches and more. When asked about his feud with the late star, Jericho claimed that she was terrible in the ring:

    “Terrible. She was terrible to work with. She wasn’t good, but she thought she was. She also was in a position where they were pushing her really big that she could beat up guys. She couldn’t. I never got that credit [for carrying her]. No one ever once said, ‘You’re making her look good. It was the other side of the coin.”

    ‘I Got In So Much Trouble’: Chris Jericho

    Chris Jericho then told the story of how he got into trouble for injuring Chyna during one of their encounters. According to him, it was a tough position for him to be in since it was his first real angle in WWE:

    “I got in big trouble from working with her. Because at one point I remember when I first started working with her, Vince was like, ‘Don’t treat her like a woman, treat her like a wrestler.’ She was really stiff too which means she worked very strong. Listen, I am not talking bad of her, I’m just telling the truth. So when we worked together, it was a solid fight in a lot of ways.

    I remember one time she got a little bit of a black eye from me, and you would have thought I cut her arm off with a chainsaw. I got in so much trouble. I was like, ‘Fuck I didn’t do it on purpose.’ So it was a tough position for me to be in. It was my first real angle in the WWE. My first story. But once again, I did the best that I could. I think her best matches that she ever had were with me. [It] hopefully proved something to the people that I had to prove things to, but there was a lot of issues with working with her.”

  • Chris Jericho Slams Disrespectful Fans Who Call Out Botches

    Chris Jericho Slams Disrespectful Fans Who Call Out Botches

    Wrestling fans are some of the most passionate fans in the sports world. However, this passion also leads to some tense situations when people forget the line between the character and the person. What Chris Jericho hates the most is when fans attack superstars online over a misstep in a match.

    The former AEW world champion recently had an interview with True Geordie podcast. Speaking about the fans, Jericho discussed how he hates the word ‘botch’:

    “Things happen in a match. The fucking word I hate the most that fans use is botch. ‘Oh, you botched that one.’ Shut your fucking mouth. There is no such thing as a botch. This is a live show. Mistakes happen. Why? Because we are human beings and we’re live.”

    ‘It’s Fucking Disrespectful’: Chris Jericho

    Chris Jericho list
    WWE.com

    Chris Jericho explained that mistakes happen in other forms of live art as well. Though the fans do not go after the performers in such cases:

    “If it happens in a hockey game, the fans don’t start chanting in unison ‘You fucked up, you fucked up’. If you go to a Broadway play and someone fumbles their lines, people don’t start chanting ‘You fucked up, you fucked up.’ You go to a wrestling match and miss a hip toss. People start chanting. That’s bullshit. It’s fucking disrespectful. And wrestling fans walk the line of being disrespectful. WWE Hall of Fame and people are fucking booing the Bushwhackers for being in the Hall of Fame? Fuck you.

    “So that to me is like yeah, I love wrestling fans.” said Jericho, “If there were no fans there will be no career of Chris Jericho, but you guys gotta keep it in check sometimes and show some respect.”

  • Another Update On Bryan Danielson’s Scary Injury

    Another Update On Bryan Danielson’s Scary Injury

    AEW wrestler Bryan Danielson has been out of action for over a month after sustaining a concussion. There is now another update on his status and recovery.

    Danielson’s Injury History

    Last week, Dave Meltzer described Danielson’s concussion as “very concerning” considering his history of head injuries.

    As many remember, the former four-time WWE Champion was forced into early retirement in 2016 as a result of his injuries. However, was cleared to wrestle again in 2018.

    The Update

    Dave Meltzer provided an update on his original report. Luckily, this time he has more positive things to say about Danielson’s condition.

    Dave appeared on the Saturday Night’s Main Event podcast, and said:

    “What I can tell you is Bryan is fine but he’s not cleared to wrestle yet and Tony Khan is not going to rush him back.”

    Fans are reasonably concerned about Danielson and his status due to his history of head injuries. So, it is a relief to hear that he’s fine.

    However, we still don’t have any indication that he’ll be returning soon, but once we do, SEScoops will keep you in the know.

  • Chris Jericho Reveals Shocking Details Regarding Backstage Confrontation With Brock Lesnar

    Chris Jericho Reveals Shocking Details Regarding Backstage Confrontation With Brock Lesnar

    Chris Jericho has revealed some shocking details on his shoot confrontation with Brock Lesnar.

    Brock Lesnar had a gruesome match with Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2016. The Beast won this match via TKO after busting The Viper open with his elbows. This match blurred the lines between reality and kayfabe. Many were worried about the health of Orton coming out of the bout.

    Jericho recently made an appearance on True Geordie Podcast. Talking about the bout, Y2J who was in the arena, mentioned how Lesnar could have killed Randy:

    “He was doing a match with Randy Orton. He was basically like just butchering him with elbows to the head. I didn’t know if it was planned or not, and nobody would tell me. But elbows, to the side of the head can kill you. If you get hit hard enough in the temple, you die. I was in gorilla and I was fucking angry about it.”

    Things That Will Get You Canceled

    Chris Jericho then detailed his confrontation with The Beast Incarnate backstage after the bout. He claimed that Lesnar actually said some homophobic terms that would get him canceled:

    “He was actually saying things that would probably get him canceled, like homophobic terms that you shouldn’t be saying.”

    – Chris Jericho

    “Brock came through and he saw me angry about it and decided he wanted to come challenge me. We had gotten into a little bit of an issue. I was like, ‘fuck this guy. I don’t give a shit how big he is. I don’t fucking care, It’s fucking wrong. I will fight to the death. I will stand up for what I believe in to the death.’ I remember being literally nose to nose with the guy. He’s laughing. He was actually saying things that would probably get him canceled, like homophobic terms that you shouldn’t be saying.”

    Jericho later noted how he was ready to bite Lesnar’s nose off even if Brock killed him. Thankfully, Vince McMahon interfered. The boss broke up the fight before it could lead to serious consequences.

    WWE And AEW Stars Attend NASCAR Event (Photos)

    A number of wrestling personalities were in attendance for the beginning of the second half of the NASCAR Cup Series season with Quaker State 400.

    The Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair shared some photos from the show. The pictures also featured Montez Ford and WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella.

    From AEW’s side, the TBS Champion Jade Cargill made an appearance. The company shared photos of her at Atlanta Motor Speedway, noting that she was the guest of honor for the race:

    This is not the first-time wrestling personalities have made appearances during the NASCAR Cup Series event. Suspended star Sasha Banks was named the grand marshal for Daytona 500 last year.

    The Street Profits have been feuding with The Usos in recent times. They had an impressive match at Money In The Bank and a rematch for the unified tag titles has been announced for SummerSlam.

    Bianca Belair similarly defended her title against Carmella at Money In The Bank. Nikki Bella on the other hand is enjoying her life as a mother and retired WWE star with no immediate plans for a return.

    Jade Cargill is on the run of a lifetime since winning the TBS championship in January. She has been a dominant champion and impressed everyone with her title reign despite very little experience in the ring.

    Watch: AEW Wrestlers Brawl at Seattle Autograph Signing

    For wrestlers, meeting and greeting fans around the world is just one perk of the job.

    It can be a deeply rewarding experience for wrestlers to meet the people who admire them and give fans an experience they’ll remember.

    Darby Allin has a ton of fans, some of whom came to meet him this weekend, but one person arrived looking to cause trouble.

    The Attack

    Allin appeared at the Southcenter Mall in Seattle for what he had planned on being a standard meet and greet session.

    Before Allin began with what would be a four-hour autograph signing, he was ambushed by Brody King, who put him in a sleeper hold.

    Not finished with the former AEW TNT Champion, King proceeded to powerbomb the young wrestler through a table before leaving the area.

    After a brief window of time, Allin eventually recovered and completed the event as planned much to the surprise and delight of the fans who had paid to see him.

    King Vs. Allin

    This attack follows on from the recent Royal Rampage, where Allin and King were the last two in a match to determine the number one contender for the Interim AEW World Championship.

    King put Allin to sleep and threw him over the rope to win the match but failed to dethrone Jon Moxley.

    After Malakai Black came out to check on King, Sting did the same with Allin, telling King he belonged in AEW and asking for a handshake, an offer that King would refuse.

  • Tony Khan Promises AEW’s Next Media Rights Deal Will Be “Historic”

    Tony Khan Promises AEW’s Next Media Rights Deal Will Be “Historic”

    Tony Khan hints that AEW is on the verge of a historic media rights deal.

    The AEW President sat down with the New York Post to hype the promotion’s success since their inception in 2019, which saw Khan secure a massive deal with Warner Media, one that helped them survive during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    When speaking about his current broadcast relationship, which now includes Warner Bros. and Discovery, Khan had the following to say:

    “I’m incredibly grateful every day that AEW has this great relationship with Warner Bros. Discovery and we’ve done well for TBS and TNT with “Dynamite” and “Rampage” where we’re a strong performer for Warner Bros. Discovery on a weekly basis.”

    However, Khan is always looking towards the future as his company continues to grow in scope. He states that AEW’s supportive fanbase are to thank for potentially securing them a new deal down the line.

    “I do believe our future media rights will be important and frankly a very large revenue stream for AEW going forward, and I think that’s because of the great support we’ve had from the fans and the hard work of everybody backstage and the wrestlers every Wednesday and Friday, pulling it together and delivering great shows.”

    Regarding a new media rights deal…Khan promises that history will be made in the pro-wrestling circuit once again.

    “Whenever our next media right deal, the next one does kick in, it will be historic. It will be recorded in history because everything in wrestling is recorded in history into posterity. It will make history however it goes. Right now, everyone would expect very, very well. We expect it’s going to go very well for us based on how strong we’ve been performing.”

    Khan will continue to do interviews to promote AEW’s upcoming Fyter Fest television special. Stay tuned.

    Tony Khan Provides Update On AEW Star’s Status

    AEW Founder and Owner Tony Khan took to Twitter to address the status of a popular AEW roster member.

    The July 8 episode of AEW Rampage saw Eddie Kingston take on Konosuke Takeshita, featured a major Ring of Honor heel turn, set up a feature championship match, and had a great main event with Tony Nese vs Orange Cassidy.

    Tony Khan Claps Back

    Last night, following an eventually episode of AEW Rampage, one fan on Twitter responded to one of Khan’s tweets. The fan responded to inquire about the absence of Penelope Ford by claiming that Tony and AEW had “given up on Penelope Ford.”

    Tony shut down the claim by providing an update on her status. Khan wrote:

    “Not at all, total opposite in fact; she’s a great wrestler, and I can’t wait until she’s medically cleared to come back. She’s been in some classic @AEW matches, and hopefully she’ll be in many more!”

    2022 Record

    Penelope Ford has competed in two matches in 2022. She is currently 2-0 for the year 2022. Both of her matches took place in January. Her last match took place on January 15, 2022 at a set of AEW Dark tapings. She also competed on the January 14 edition of Rampage when she teamed with The Bunny and Nyla Rose to defeat Kris Statlander, Leyla Hirsch & Red Velvet.

    We at SEScoops wish Penelope Ford a healthy and speedy recovery!

  • Tony Khan Rules out Location for Future AEWxNJPW Forbidden Door Events

    Tony Khan Rules out Location for Future AEWxNJPW Forbidden Door Events

    Last month, AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling hosted their Forbidden Door Pay Per View, which proved to be a hit with fans.

    The show saw Jay White retain his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, while Jon Moxley captured the Interim AEW World Championship.

    Unsurprisingly, the show’s success has led to talks of subsequent Forbidden Door shows,

    Location, Location, Location

    Forbidden Door took place at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, despite a ton of talent coming from New Japan Pro Wrestling.

    Of course, only one country could host Forbidden Door, and on this occasion, that was the U.S.

    While speaking to the New York Post about the future of the show, Tony Khan vowed that despite New Japan’s influence, Forbidden Door will never go overseas.

    “The idea of doing an event over there with AEW stars and New Japan stars is very potentially interesting, but if it happens it won’t be Forbidden Door. Forbidden Door is gonna stay in North America. It wouldn’t make sense with the time zones, the revenue.”

    Khan has vowed that Forbidden Door will become an annual event.

    Exceeding Expectations

    It should come as no surprise that Khan is already making plans for a second Forbidden Door Pay Per View.

    Speaking on the post-Forbidden Door media scrum, Khan said the show was a financial hit, exceeding over $1.1 million in ticket sales.

    Khan also said that surpassing 100,000 Pay Per View buys, which he believes happened, is a success for the show.

    Visa Issues Prevented Star From Making AEW Debut

    One star from a major promotion wasn’t able to make his planned AEW appearance.

    Last month, the AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door crossover PPV took place inside the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. In the weeks leading up to the event, NJPW stars appeared on Dynamite and Rampage to hype up Forbidden Door.

    Will Ospreay and other members of NJPW’s United Empire faction also made appearances. One notable name left off the shows, however, was Francesco Akira.

    Why Francesco Akira Didn’t Appear on AEW TV

    (via NJPW)

    Francesco Akira had an interview with Cultaholic and when the topic of missing out on Forbidden Door and the weeks prior was brought up, Akira revealed that visa issues were to blame.

    “There was [A plan to appear], but unfortunately we’re working on my visa stuff now, because I’ve never been to the U.S, but I just joined New Japan.“

    Francesco Akira on missing out on Forbidden Door month

    “There’s a process you need to do before getting to America. I think Forbidden Door was one of the greatest shows of the last ten years to me. Every match delivered, especially the United Empire matches.

    “We’re working on it, I would love to come to America, especially for STRONG and defend [these] championship[s] too with TJP in America.”

    With the amount of jaw-jacking Will Ospreay has done towards Kenny Omega, many are convinced that we have not seen the last of him or United Empire on AEW programming. This would be great news for Akira.

  • Wardlow Thanks Cash Wheeler For Calming Him Down Before TNT Title Win

    Wardlow Thanks Cash Wheeler For Calming Him Down Before TNT Title Win

    Wardlow became the brand new AEW TNT Championship on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, but credits FTR’s Cash Wheeler for calming his nerves.

    Wardlow TNT Title Win

    On Wednesday, during AEW Dynamite, Wardlow won his first championship when he beat Scorpio Sky in a street fight to win the AEW TNT Championship.

    Wardlow has been going straight to the top in AEW. He has been reaching and achieving new heights since he defeated MJF at AEW Revolution and gained his independence from his contract with MJF. 

    Wardlow Thanks FTR

    Wardlow recently spoke on Busted Open Radio and reflected on how he was feeling before heading to the ring for his title match.

    The new TNT Champion said, “Honestly, I’m normally extremely nervous and on edge and focused, just tunnel vision type focus. Before the match, I was actually much more calm than usual. I don’t know why. Cash (Wheeler) gave me a pretty nice pep talk right before. That might have helped calm my nerves. Cash and Dax (Harwood) are always helping me out, those guys are phenomenal. 

    I think Cash got in my head a little and reminded me to breathe and have fun and enjoy the moment and absorb it. ‘Tonight could be one of those nights that you want remember forever so make sure you absorb it so you can remember it.’ I tried to do that and I feel I did do that.

    Wardlow Reflects On TNT Title Match

    Oddly enough, it was the most comfortable I felt in the ring. The only time I felt similar was (against) CM Punk. It was kind of the same experience. That match and this match were the only two times I looked around at the crowd and looked at people and interacted with people and absorbed the moment and had fun in the match, other than getting kicked directly in the balls, other than that, a lot of fun.”

    Wardlow added that he wished he could have celebrated with the fans for another hour after his title win.

  • AEW and STARDOM In Talks For A Working Relationship

    AEW and STARDOM In Talks For A Working Relationship

    A new report has surfaced revealing that AEW is in talks with the very popular all-women’s Japanese promotion STARDOM about a potential working relationship together.

    According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, top officials from both companies have been in communication, and fans should expect an announcement regarding a collaboration sometime in the near future. However, it is noted that there are no deals as of yet, but that talks are going well.

    STARDOM is interested in working with top AEW women’s star Toni Storm, who joined the promotion earlier this year and has been regularly featured on AEW programming, which included her challenging for the women’s title against Thunder Rosa at the recent Forbidden Door pay-per-view.

    Storm herself confirmed in a recent interview with TalkSport that she would be interested in working with STARDOM agains. She was previously there from 2016-2018, and is a former Word of Stardom Champion and a former SWA Undisputed World Women’s Champion.

    As a reminder…AEW President Tony Khan told the wrestling media in the post-Forbidden Door scrum that he wanted to book STARDOM talents for that event, but there were scheduling and visa issues that didn’t allow it to happen.

    NJPW did announce that STARDOM talents will be working their U.S. based shows going forward, a collaboration that will only increase both promotion’s presence in the states.

  • Chris Jericho’s Health Scare Was More Serious Than We Thought

    Chris Jericho’s Health Scare Was More Serious Than We Thought

    Chris Jericho’s health scare in late 2021 was no joke.

    Jericho began experiencing problems during a Fozzy tour in the UK. The AEW star and overall wrestling legend had been dealing with shortness of breath, which led to a trip to the hospital.

    The multiple-time world champion detailed the issues that were plaguing him during an edition of his Talk is Jericho podcast.

    “I did have what is called a pulmonary embolism.”

    Chris Jericho on 2021 health scare

    “Back on December 7th, I believe, of 2021. I found this out when I was in London, England. I’ve been waiting a while to tell the story.

    “I kind of wanted to wait until some things were settled and figure it out, and make sure that everything is back to where it needs to be, and is back to normal, and is back to the new normal.”

    Recovery

    (via AEW)

    Chris Jericho went on to explain that blood clots in his lungs were slowing him down but now they are all gone.

    “Pulmonary embolism basically means blood clots in your lungs, and that’s what I had, a whole bunch of them, which are now pretty much gone. All of them are gone, which is great to hear.”

    Chris Jericho explains serious health scare

    The ordeal was quite scary for Jericho as he said he could barely walk when he went to the hospital and his chest was pounding.

    Luckily for him, he was able to have the issue cleared up and he has fully recovered. Jericho did mention that he has a Factor V gene in his blood, which contributes to blood clots.

    Before Jericho was out of the woods, he had to be put on blood thinners in order to keep performing. He also underwent more tests to figure out how to solve his issues.

    Jericho is currently involved in a personal feud with Eddie Kingston on AEW TV.

  • Find Out Why Buddy Matthews Missed AEW Dynamite

    Find Out Why Buddy Matthews Missed AEW Dynamite

    Buddy Matthews was absent from the July 6 episode of Dynamite and the reason has been disclosed.

    Matthews’ stablemate, Brody King, of House of Black competed against Jon Moxley of the Blackpool Combat Club in a match for the interim AEW World Championship. 

    King lost to Moxley but received respect from Sting and Darby Allin because of his abilities. Brody rejected the handshake and left with Malakai Black.

    Buddy Matthews Misses Dynamite

    As a part of the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer stated that Buddy Matthews didn’t appear with the House of Black because he’s currently doing a tour in Australia for World Series Wrestling.

    Meltzer also added that the ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham was also booked for the tour initially and that Brian Cage is currently on the tour.

    Meltzer wrote:,

    “Buddy Matthews wasn’t on TV this week with the House of Black because he’s home in Australia doing a tour for World Series Wrestling. 

    Jonathan Gresham was also scheduled for that tour but pulled by AEW since they needed him in the U.S. to do his heel turn and build the ROH PPV this week.”

    “Brian Cage also went on the tour and in theory he should be on the ROH show since on the last PPV he was managed by Tully Blanchard, but has not done any AEW television with Blanchard of late.”

    Matthews’ Injury

    Buddy last wrestled for AEW as a part of the June 22 AEW Dark: Elevation taping. The House of Black member recently disclosed that he has been dealing with a shoulder injury. However, he is still wrestling. He recently wrestled for PWG and faced Mike Bailey during the July 3 PWG Nineteen show.

  • Tony Khan Is Still Optimistic About Kenny Omega’s Return

    Tony Khan Is Still Optimistic About Kenny Omega’s Return

    Despite Kenny Omega’s recent discouraging comments about his rehabilitation process, AEW Founder Tony Khan remains optimistic about the former AEW World Champion’s return.

    Kenny’s Rehab Process

    Kenny Omega wrestled through the pain for several months last year. At the time, he was the AEW World Heavyweight Champion and helped lead the company forward as their top star while producing legendary matches. 

    However, Kenny had racked up a lot of injuries, so he decided to take time off after losing the championship to heal up.

    On a recent Twitch stream, Kenny provided some insight into his mindset during his time off. Omega recently mentioned that if he suffers another major setback in his career due to an injury then he will be done as an in-ring wrestler. The former AEW World Champion said that this is because he doesn’t want to go through the painful rehab he has been experiencing.

    Khan’s Appreciation For Omega

    Tony Khan recently sat down for an interview with Joseph Staszewski for the New York Post. Tony spoke about Kenny’s comments and his recovery process.

    AEW Founder said, “I’m always concerned whenever a wrestler has an injury, but in Kenny Omega’s case he carried the load through more injuries than probably anyone I’ve seen in terms of working through a sustained period where he was limited and still having great matches in the ring, and also doing great box office for the company as a great champion.

    It is a little bit different because you’re dealing with multiple injuries as opposed to one injury. I’m optimistic. I don’t want to put a timetable on it. I’m still optimistic Kenny’s coming back.”

    Tony’s Optimism

    He continued to talk about his optimism toward Kenny’s return to the ring.

    “I think it’s gonna go well. I think he’s gonna be OK, I don’t know when and I’m optimistic. Nobody can put themselves in his shoes, but I feel good about it. I’m gonna talk more to him too. I know he’s been through a lot but I know he’s still trying to get back,” he said.

    Possible Return Timetable

    Kenny had his last match at AEW Full Gear on November 13, 2021. At this show, he dropped the AEW World Championship to “Hangman” Adam Page. Kenny had several injuries he needed to be fixed including having arthroscopic knee surgery. At the end of March, he also got surgery to repair a sports hernia.

    It was reported then that the timetable for the recovery from his knee surgery was ten weeks. At the same time, he was set to be recovering from the hernia surgery for about two months. 

    Omega did go back on the road with AEW to be at TV events. Unfortunately, Kenny found it was too early in the recovery process to travel with his injuries.

  • AEW Faction Officially Disbands

    AEW Faction Officially Disbands

    Nothing lasts forever.

    In the wrestling industry, factions don’t exactly come at a premium. The business has long relied on stables and some of them have achieved legendary status.

    Others have been short-lived.

    In this case, it was two teams coming together for a good time but not a long time.

    The Gunns Turn on The Acclaimed

    The Acclaimed and The Gunn Club had formed a fun stable together. Fans were entertained by Austin and Colten Gunn being called the “Ass Boys” but they never found it to be funny.

    Things finally boiled over when The Gunns didn’t allow Max Caster to get in his entrance rap during the July 6 episode of Dynamite.

    Austin also stole Caster’s thunder by tagging himself in after he had done all the work in their eight-man tag team match.

    The teams brawled after the match when Billy Gunn initially appeared to reprimand his sons for their actions. Instead, he ended up attacking The Acclaimed.

    There will be no more scissoring between Anthony Bowens and Daddy Gunn.

    A big heel turn has taken place at the AEW Rampage taping.

    The heel-babyface turns in pro wrestling continue on. Fans recently witnessed Christian Cage turn his back on Jungle Boy, nailing him with the Killswitch and a Conchairto.

    Add another turn to the list.

    AEW Rampage was taped following the July 6 episode of Dynamite. The action was held inside the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, NY. At the conclusion of a tag team match, one major champion turned on his partner.

    Jonathan Gresham Turns Heel

    (via ROH)

    On this week’s edition of Rampage, set to air on July 8, ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham teamed with Lee Moriarty to take on Tully Blanchard’s Gates of Agony team.

    The Gates of Agony won the match as Gresham walked out on Moriarty. He has now aligned himself with Tully Blanchard.

    ROH’s Death Before Dishonor PPV is coming up on July 23.

    While it hasn’t been made official, the direction certainly seems to be leaning towards an ROH World Title Match between Jonathan Gresham and Lee Moriarty.

    Worrying Update About Top AEW Star

    All Elite Wrestling has proven to be incredibly popular with fans, but the company is dealing with plenty of injuries at this time.

    Former World Champion Kenny Omega is still out of action with his last match taking place at last year’s Full Gear, and reigning AEW World Champion CM Punk is also injured.

    Recently, Tony Khan confirmed that Santana is injured and there’s a worrying update about one of the promotion’s biggest stars.

    Danielson’s Update

    Bryan Danielson is one of AEW’s top stars, but he too is dealing with an injury.

    Danielson hasn’t competed since AEW Double or Nothing 2022, where the Blackpool Combat Club lost to the Jericho Appreciation Society in the Anarchy in the Arena match.

    Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that there’s still no word on when Danielson could be cleared to wrestle.

    “I know in real life and everything like that he’s fine, he can function, he can do everything. But as far as being cleared to wrestle, — no one knows – getting cleared from a concussion can be any time. There’s no timeframe.”

    “no one knows – getting cleared from a concussion can be any time. There’s no timeframe.”

    Dave Meltzer on Bryan Danielson’s injury.

    Danielson’s injury forced him to miss Forbidden Door and the Blood and Guts match on the following Dynamite.

    Danielson and Concussions

    Danielson is out with a concussion, which has some fans worried given his history of concussions.

    In 2014, a neck injury and concussion forced Danielson to vacate the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and he retired two years later due to concussions.

    In 2018, Danielson was cleared to wrestle again and returned at that year’s WrestleMania 34 Pay Per View.
