They have a good reason. With so many wrestlers on the WWE roster, it can be difficult to keep track of everyone around the company. Some wrestlers are going to leave at one point or another for some reason, and the question becomes when they will be back. In some of these cases, it depends on why they are gone, and now we might know a reason why several wrestlers are gone.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Uh Oh: Current AEW Champion Suffers Possible Injury On Dynamite
This week on NXT, Javier Bernal cut a promo where he challenged a variety of wrestlers to face, him only to be told that they were all either suspended or injured. Some of the names included all three members of Gallus, Ilja Dragunov and Axiom. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, in these cases, suspended or injured is code for “getting their visas worked on”. There is no word on when the missing wrestlers will be back.
Those are some talented stars when they are around. Check out what they can do:

It can happen to anyone. Injuries are some of the worst things that can happen to any wrestler at any given time. You never know when someone is going to be put on the shelf, or at least slowed down, and that can cut off even the hottest momentum. Unfortunately that might be the case again with one of the most popular stars in AEW, who happens to have a major match coming up.

According to Fightful Select, reigning AEW Tag Team Champion Anthony Bowens may have suffered an arm injury this week on Dynamite.

He’s earned it. AEW has changed the way the wrestling world works, as the company now allows several other wrestlers a top level platform. This has allowed various veterans to move up the ladder a lot faster than they would otherwise, which means giving fans some new stars on national television. Now we might be seeing another newcomer appear full time, if he is willing to say yes.

This week on AEW Dynamite, AR Fox made his AEW television debut when he teamed with Top Flight in a losing effort against Death Triangle. Following the match, Fox and Top Flight were interviewed backstage, during which Fox was told that he was being offered a full time AEW contract. While Fox has not signed the deal, according to Fightful Select, AEW officials expect him to do so. Fox has responded to the news, thanking fans for their support and saying he has not had a dry eye in twenty four hours.

He is a subject. While his last few years in the business were not the strongest, there has never been a more powerful person in wrestling than Vince McMahon. Over the years, McMahon dominated the wrestling world as the owner of WWE. There are few people in wrestling with more odd stories than McMahon and now we are going to be getting a special look at him.

Switch it up. AEW has been around for a little over three and a half years now and during that time they have established a schedule that they tend to follow for their major events. The company presents four regular pay per views, with the next installment coming this weekend. However, they have now made a last minute change, which will affect both this event and the next TV show.
During a media call to promote Full Gear, AEW President Tony Khan announced that the finals of the Full Gear #1 contenders tournament have been moved from Full Gear to Dynamite. This comes after the first round match between Ricky Starks and Lance Archer was postponed due to Starks being not medically cleared to compete. The first round match will now take place on Rampage, with the winner facing Brian Cage on the Full Gear Zero Hour show. The winner of that will face Ethan Page on Dynamite.
They have potential. Check out what we’ll be seeing on Rampage:

He has a point. There are very few honors that last forever in wrestling. While winning a championship can mean a lot to a wrestler, at some point they are probably going to lose it back. However, there is one honor that is never taken away: being inducted into a Hall of Fame. Some of the greatest of all time are inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and now another famous name thinks he should be in as well.

Former WWE referee Earl Hebner appeared on his son Brian Hebner’s Reffin It Up podcast, where he was asked if he felt he deserved induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. Earl said that he did, citing what he had done for the business and the matches he refereed over the years. However, Earl also said that the decision on an induction came from WWE rather than him. Earl was with WWE from 1988-2005.

Hold tight because the show is not over. There is a lot taking place at any given television taping, with the things that you see on the show not being anywhere near everything that happens. Live fans will often get to see something extra and that can be some of the most entertaining parts of the show. That might have been the situation this week, as a major star had something to say when the cameras went off.

That’s a choice to make. We are less than two weeks away from WWE Survivor Series and in this case the show is going to be a little bit different than in years past. This time around, the show will feature a pair of WarGames matches, with men and women having a match each. One of the matches is almost entirely set but now we know a lot more about the other, yet to be announced, match.
