He’s On The Loose: Former World Champion Becoming A Free Agent

•

He’s on the market. Wrestling is changing faster than it ever has before and that is a great thing to see in a lot of ways. One of the most important aspects of modern wrestling is how easy it is to see wrestlers from around the world. This allows promotions to see who else they might want to sign when they get the chance, and another person has been added to the free agent list. According to Fightful Select, Tom Lawlor’s contract with Major League Wrestling is expiring, with his recent loss in a casket match being used as a way to write him off of television. Lawlor is a former Major League Wrestling World Champion, as well as the winner of the Battle Riot and the Opera Cup. There is no word on where Lawlor will be signing next, though he is the current New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Openweight Champion. You might need to get used to him.

WATCH: Very Special Guest Announced For Halloween Havoc

•

It’s been done. Wrestling is a unique form of entertainment, as it exists in its own bubble, with a unique presentation that makes it feel different than anything else. It is rare to see wrestling cross over with over forms of entertainment, but it certainly can make for some unique situations. That is what we are going to be seeing again next week in a bit of corporate synergy. The USA Network has announced that Chucky, the doll from the Child’s Play franchise, will be guest starring on the October 26 Halloween Havoc special edition of NXT. There is no word on what Chucky will be doing on the show. This will be the second time that Chucky has appeared on a wrestling show, as he appeared on WCW Monday Nitro on October 12, 1999. This is something different.

Two New Matches Set For WWE Crown Jewel

•

And then there were two. We are less than four days away from WWE’s Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia and that means the show is going to be one of the biggest of the year. The shows airing from the country are often stacked with one big match after another and that will be the case again this time. Now we know two more of the matches and both have something on the line. The finals of the King of the Ring and Queen’s Crown tournaments were officially set during this week’s Monday Night Raw. Xavier Woods defeated Jinder Mahal to earn the right to face Finn Balor for the King of the Ring. Later, Doudrop defeated Shayna Baszler, meaning she will face Zelina Vega. This year marks the first time that WWE has ever presented the Queen’s Crown tournament. This should work well.

Ring Of Honor TV Results – October 13, 2021

Ring of Honor Date: October 13, 2021 Location: 2300 Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Jay Briscoe, Mark Briscoe It’s time to start the build towards Final Battle and I’m not sure what that is going to mean. Ring of Honor has a weird fascination with waiting as long as they can to announce a card and I’m not sure how much we’re going to be getting before this show. That being said, this show has been pretty great lately so let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Here’s what’s coming tonight. Soldiers of Savagery vs. Dalton Castle/Dak Draper The Soldiers are ready to hurt people while Castle and Draper, with the Baby Chickens, promise to show how good they are. Castle wrestles Khan down to start and we actually get a clean break. The technical stuff doesn’t work for Khan so he shoulders Castle down with straight power. That works for Castle, who suplexes him down and hands it off to Draper, who gets caught by the arm. Moses comes in and knees Draper in the rib..

Monday Night Raw Live Coverage And Results – October 18, 2021

Monday Night Raw Date: October 18, 2021 Location: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, California Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton It’s the go home show for Crown Jewel, though the audience is going to be decimated by a mixture of the MLB Playoffs and Monday Night Football. The card does include Charlotte defending the Raw Women’s Title against Bianca Belair, along with a rematch between Drew McIntyre/Big E. vs. Robert Roode/Dolph Ziggler. Let’s get to it. Here is Charlotte to get things going but she isn’t sure why there are no champagne and balloons for her final night on Raw. There is a conspiracy against her because Bianca Belair isn’t even on the roster yet but has two title shots this week! Charlotte: “AND YOU PEOPLE THINK I’M ENTITLED???” After dealing with the crown and various chants, Charlotte says Belair needs to get over it already because Charlotte is the mountain that she can’t climb.

WATCH: WWE Teases Two Heel Turns At Live Event

•

Call it a tryout. There is more wrestling content available today than there ever has been before and that can create some problems for the wrestlers. There comes a point where the fans have seen almost everything a wrestler is going to do and that means it is time to shake things up a bit. That seems to be the case for a pair of WWE wrestlers, who tried something new over the weekend. Sunday night, WWE presented a live event in El Paso, Texas which included a tag team match between Shotzi/Nox vs. Natalya/Tamina, with Shotzi and Nox wrestling as heels. The team, which had been split up in the WWE Draft, wrestled together as babyfaces during their time on SmackDown. There is no word on if either of the two will be teaming together going forward or if either of them will be turning heel. This could be an interesting way to go.

WATCH: Controversial Wrestling Star Returns After Hiatus

Welcome back. Wrestlers are a unique form of athletes as you can see them stepping in and then back out of the ring almost out of nowhere. While mainstream athletes tend to stick around straight through their careers, some wrestlers start and stop at various points. It can make for some surprising returns, and that was the case again this weekend when a star came back. Former WWE and Ring of Honor star ACH returned to wrestling over the weekend at an Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment event. ACH returned with his GWC Championship and confronted Buddy Matthews. This comes after ACH stepped away from wrestling in June, with his most recent match taking place on May 7. There is no word on where ACH will be working next. That’s a cool return.

WRESTLING RUMORS: Special WWE Concept Returning Soon

•

Welcome home. Monday Night Raw has been around for a very long time now, with its first episode taking place on January 11, 1993. That is the kind of run that you never see in wrestling and it shows just how big a deal Monday Night Raw really is. WWE knows how to highlight its own history very well and they will have the chance to do that again in just a few months. According to Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Wrestling podcast, WWE will be presenting Retro Raw in January, with the exact date to be announced. The concept of the show is to bring back legends and past wrestlers for special appearances, often with the current roster.

WWE May Be Going Head To Head With AEW Again

They’re at it again. AEW has come a long way in a fairly short amount of time and has shaken up the wrestling world as a result. That is the kind of thing that we have not seen in a very long time and it is hard to know what to think of it most of the time. WWE certainly does not seem to know what to do about them most of the time but they might be trying something new. According to PWInsider.com, some cable systems are listing WWE Talking Smack airing at 10pm EST on Friday October 29 on Fox Sports 1, putting the show on at the same time as AEW Rampage. SmackDown is already scheduled to air on Fox Sports 1 the same night due to FOX’s coverage of the World Series. This comes after last week’s SmackDown was extended by half an hour to go against Rampage, which aired a special Buy-In show to oppose the second half of SmackDown. There is no word on if this would be a permanent move, as Talking Smack normally airs on Saturday mornings. Talking Smack has had its moments. Check out some of ..

Miro Is NOT Happy With Being Left Out Of AEW’s #1 Contenders Tournament

He probably should be mad. Every now and then, you find a wrestler who gets your attention with the right character.

WWE Star Loses Title (And More) Over The Weekend

I hope she kept the receipt. Wrestlers are a weird breed as they have a lot of things to keep track of every day. In addition to being in the ring, they are required to go from one town to the next multiple times a week while mainly living in and out of hotels. That can be rather difficult to manage, and now something has gone wrong that was not even the wrestler’s fault.

Bryan Danielson is hitting his stride in AEW. The American Dragon worked two of the toughest men in the industry on back to back nights and went over in both matches.

In both instances, Bryan was definitely on his game. He’s reminding fans of just how good he is between the ropes.

Surprising Title Change Takes Place On AEW Dynamite

History has been made! Titles are one of the most important parts of a wrestling show as they help identify the most important stars in the company. In theory, the best wrestlers are supposed to have the championships, which makes a lot of sense. Sometimes you even get to see some extra championships from outside the main promotion, and now some of them have changed hands. This week’s edition of AEW Dynamite featured the Lucha Bros defending the AAA Tag Team Titles against a surprise team. The challengers wound up being Las Super Ranas (the Super Frogs), who were revealed to be FTR under masks. FTR went on to win the titles after using one of the title belts, ending the Lucha Bros’ reign at over two years.
