  • Trent Beretta Got His Neck Fusion Surgery Screws Swapped Out

    Trent Beretta Got His Neck Fusion Surgery Screws Swapped Out

    AEW star Trent Beretta underwent neck surgery on Thursday to replace two broken screws from his previous neck fusion surgery (June 2021). He was reportedly injured at AEW Double or Nothing during his grudge match against Orange Cassidy.

    Beretta has unfortunately dealt with neck injuries dating back to his time doing motion capture work on the WWE 2K16 video game. During an appearance on Chris Jericho’s Talk is Jericho podcast last summer, he explained that while practicing some of his moves on a crash pad, another wrestler attempted and botched dragon suplex, causing Beretta to land on his head.

    Over the next five to six years, that injury combined with the bumps he took in the ring led to severe symptoms that led him to undergo the fusion surgery in June 2021.

    We wish Trent Beretta a full and speedy recovery.

  • Chuck Taylor’s Career-Ending Injury Reportedly Legitimate

    Chuck Taylor’s Career-Ending Injury Reportedly Legitimate

    We may indeed never see Chuck Taylor wrestle again, according to a new report.

    Dave Meltzer has written in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter that when AEW stated Chuck Taylor will never compete in the ring again, this is reportedly true.

    Taylor was taken out by Trent Berreta several weeks ago who hadnotoriously turned heel against The Best Friends as he has had an axe to grind against Orange Cassidy. This eventually boiled over into Beretta’s relationship against Taylor as he made Chuck pick between him and Orange Cassidy.

    Taylor sided with Cassidy and this eventually turned into a parking lot fight between Beretta and him. Beretta got the win, but still decided to inflict more pain on “The Kentucky Gentleman” by taking a wrench to his leg. This set up the on-air angle that Taylor’s career was done.

    Before his perhaps final match, Taylor has been out on the shelf with injury but did have a previous major injury in a pectoral muscle tear. This put him in an angle with Miro as Taylor served as his “servant” for the time being. He then later suffered another injury with his foot after his ALL IN Stadium Stampede match.

    Taylor and Beretta have been with All Elite Wrestling since the very beginning as they were surprise signings at the AEW Double Or Nothing Ticket Announcement Party in 2019. They actually defeated Jack Evans and Angelico at the promotion’s inaugural PPV that following Memorial Day weekend. Beretta just lost to Cassidy in a match on this week’s AEW Dynamite.

    Trent Beretta Gets Admonished By Mama Sue Following Recent Actions Against The Best Friends

    Trent Beretta’s mom Sue will not be carpooling The Best Friends to any AEW events in the near future, and she’s clearly not happy about it.

    Beretta took on his longtime partner and (indeed) former best friend Chuck Taylor in a Parking Lot Fight this past weekend on AEW Rampage. It was a brutal battle with Berretta ultimately defeating Taylor, but also not coming out of the fight unscathed.

    On social media, Beretta had a bloody picture of himself sitting on the hood of what appears to be his mom’s van. Just like his friendship with Taylor and Orange Cassidy, the windshield was splintered as Berreta basically marked the end of his bond with Taylor.

    “Best Friends, 2013-2024, see ya.”

    Sue expressed her disappointment in her son’s actions noting that she didn’t raise him to act like that.

    Sue was a light-hearted component in the mix of The Best Friends’ friendship, but clearly Beretta has thrown all that aside. Last week’s Dynamite kicked off with Trent beating Orange Cassidy up in the middle of Daily’s Place before prompting Chuck Taylor to come out. Trent forced Taylor to choose between him and Cassidy, citing that it was Orange who stole the spotlight from both of them, stating that he was only meant to be their mascot in AEW. Taylor didn’t agree and took the side of Cassidy, putting the Parking Lot Fight into motion.

    Trent defeated Taylor by choking him out, but he wasn’t finished. Beretta set sights on Taylor’s ankle with a wrench, telling Orange Cassidy that this was all his fault.
