They’re on top of it. Titles are the most important things in wrestling as they are such an easy concept. Fans are going to understand what they are seeing as soon as they see a wrestler holding a championship and winning one can make all the difference in the world. Now we have a major title match set for a huge show, which was set up in advance this week.
This week on AEW Dynamite, Maxwell Jacob Friedman teased cashing in his Casino ladder match poker chip for a World Title shot against Jon Moxley. However, Friedman changed his mind, saying that he wanted to cash in at Full Gear to do it the right way. The match is official for Full Gear, which airs on November 19. The two have met once before, with Moxley defeating Friedman to retain the World Title at All Out 2020.
Opinion: I don’t think the match taking place is much of a surprise but it is nice to have it made official. We are still almost a month away from Full Gear and now the two can set up their match as well as they possib..

That would be a different way to go. There are a lot of different concepts that WWE presents on a regular basis, some of which have major championship implications. It can mean something big is taking place when one of them is mentioned and sometimes these things are announced in advance. Now we have gotten a big clue about something going in a different way.
The closing segment of this week’s NXT featured a three way discussion between the competitors in the Halloween Havoc triple threat match for the NXT Title. At the end of the show, Mr. Money In The Bank Austin Theory, from Monday Night Raw, appeared and suggested that he could cash in his contract for the NXT Title. Theory has held the briefcase since July 2 when he won the Money In The Bank briefcase.
This could make things interesting. Check out the big tease:

Opinion: In a way, this might be the best thing that could happen to Theory and his briefcase. It has been a long time since..

That’s a huge relief. There are all kinds of ways for a wrestler to suffer an injury and you never want to see anything like that happen. Someone can be in the middle of a match and be taken down in an instant, which unfortunately is what happened this week. It became a question of what would happen next and now we have a very important, and thankfully positive, update.
This week on AEW Dynamite, Hangman Page was injured in a match against Jon Moxley. Page was hit with a clothesline and landed on his head, resulting in the match being instantly stopped, with Page being taken out on a stretcher. AEW has posted an update on Twitter, saying that Page was taken to a hospital where he was diagnosed with a concussion and discharged. There is no word on how long Page will be out of action.

You hate to see it. The main event of tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite featured Jon Moxley defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Hangman Adam Page. Unfortunately, the match had to be stopped due to a serious injury suffered by Page during the match.
Page landed on his head after a spot in which he took a lariat from Moxley. As soon as Page hit the ground, his body seemed to go limp and he wasn’t able to move. The referee and ringside doctor, Doc Sampson made the decision to stop the match with about 10 minutes remaining on the show.
During a commercial break, several officials took down the ropes in order to take out Page on a stretcher. You can see a clip of that below:

Several media outlets are reporting that this was not the planned finish for the match and that this is a le..

He’ll be around for a bit. There are a lot of talented stars on the WWE roster, to the point where the company has split them into three groups. While there are two main rosters, there is also the NXT developmental brand. It can be a huge moment when someone is promoted from NXT to the main roster. While that does not seem to be happening at the moment, someone is coming up for an extended visit.
NXT’s Cameron Grimes made a surprise appearance this week on Monday Night Raw, as he convinced the OC to help him in his feud with the Schism. According to PWInsider.com, there is a chance that Grimes could be making more appearances on Monday Night Raw in the future. At the moment, there is nothing to suggest that Grimes has been called up to the main roster full time.
Opinion: This is some good news as Grimes is one of the few stars in NXT who feels like he could be on the main roster today with no trouble. That is not something you get to see very often and it would be great to have him a..

Halloween Havoc 1999
Date: October 24, 1999
Location: MGM Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada
Attendance: 8,464
Commentators: Bobby Heenan, Tony Schiavone
The Russo Era is officially upon us as we got a big time preview this past Monday. However, this show is the real thing with Russo getting to direct where things go from here. Expect to see a lot more pointless talking, a lot more insanity and a lot more shouting about what I did to deserve this. Let’s get to it.
The opening video focuses on Sid vs. Goldberg and mentions the whole “Goldberg can’t touch him” bit, which has basically been ignored. Hogan vs. Sting gets even less hype.
A LOUD Weasel chant is ignored by Heenan as Tony announces that due to Rey Mysterio being injured, the Filthy Animals have been stripped of the Tag Team Titles. The solution? A triple threat hardcore title match for the belts with Kidman substituting for Mysterio. Well why bother having a match when you can just make it hardcore? They run down the rest of ..

He has some options. There are different ways to present a feud, with one of the options being to have one wrestler vs. a group. It can make things complicated for the one who is on their own and the situation often involves finding someone else to help in the fight. That is the case again and now two legends are at least considering offering their assistance to their old friend or rival.
Over the last several months, Edge has feuded with the Judgment Day. While Edge has had assistance against the team, he has been outnumbered on multiple occasions. Now two legends are talking about the story. First, during a live signing with K&S WrestleFest, Edge’s former Brood teammate Gangrel was asked if he would return to help Edge fight. Gangrel said “never say never, but creeping up there in age”.
Second, during an appearance on the Extraaa Dhamaal show, WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley said that Edge needed to face Finn Balor again, but with someone having his back. Dudley suggested that the D..

That would be a different way to go. We are just over a month away from Survivor Series and this year’s edition is going to be a little bit different. This year, the show will feature a pair of WarGames matches, marking the first time that the match has come to a main roster WWE event. The matches need lineups, and now a star is teasing some major involvement in one of the matches.
Last week’s SmackDown saw Sheamus, Rey Mysterio, Solo Sikoa and Ricochet compete in a match for the #1 contendership to the Intercontinental Title. During the match, the Usos got involved, which drew out the Brawling Brutes to help Sheamus. Following the match, Sheamus sent out a tweet saying “The end of the Bloodline starts with Solo. Ireland V Islanders.” While not confirmed, this could mean the start of a feud between the two groups.

That’s some quality villainy. For the most part, wrestlers are divided into groups of babyfaces and heels. The heels are there to make fans angry at them and to get the fans cheering for the babyfaces to give them what they deserve. That can be accomplished in a variety of ways and now we saw one of the better methods this weekend at a non-televised events.
A video has been released to Twitter showing a match between Bayley and Bianca Belair at a recent WWE live event in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The video includes Bayley arguing with a young fan at ringside multiple times, with the fan shouting that she wants Bayley to lose. Bayley would yell back at the fan multiple times, including once when Bayley was sitting down on the floor. Bayley went on to lose the match.
This is pretty impressive. Check out Bayley vs. the fan:

I’d say he has earned it. With so many people on the WWE roster, it can be difficult for anyone to stand out. It can take a lot of effort and work for a wrestler to become a next level star, but ultimately it takes a higher up being willing to give someone a chance. A wrestler getting noticed is a big deal and now another one has begun to turn some important heads.
According to Fightful Select, Angelo Dawkins has been receiving positive reviews for his recent in-ring work. Dawkins has been praised for improving his physique, style and match quality. Dawkins has also been wrestling more singles matches as of late, as he has competed in more singles matches since June than he did from WrestleMania 37 until May 2022. It is expected that his singles matches will continue.
Opinion: For a very long time now, the story has been that Dawkins’ partner Montez Ford is expected to be the breakout star from the Street Profits. While that very well still be the case, Dawkins has made some great st..

They have a unique relationship. There has never been anyone in wrestling as powerful or influential as Vince McMahon. During his time running WWE, McMahon was able to make or break anyone’s career in the blink of an eye, meaning a relationship with him was one of the most important things a wrestler could have. Now we are hearing about one of the stranger relationships that McMahon had with anyone.
During a recent edition of his The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt Hardy talked about McMahon’s relationship with Bray Wyatt during Wyatt’s time in WWE. Hardy described the relationship as McMahon looking on Wyatt as a son at times. When Wyatt did something positive, McMahon would heap praise on him. When Wyatt did something McMahon didn’t like though, McMahon would punish and insult him. Wyatt returned to WWE at Extreme Rules, months after McMahon retired from WWE.
Opinion: To say McMahon is a strange character is an understatement as you never knew what he was going to do at an..

He can do some things. There have been a lot of stars throughout WWE’s history and some of them have become legends of the industry. You know these stars when you see them and it can mean something to see them show up again after a long absence. That was the situation again this week, as a legend showed up in a new role in an effort to build up a younger star.
This week on Monday Night Raw, WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield made a surprise appearance, introducing Baron Corbin as the newest member of the Monday Night Raw roster. Corbin was sent to the show in exchange for Rey Mysterio, who jumped to SmackDown last week. This comes after Layfield picked Corbin up in his limo after a loss on SmackDown back in August. Corbin would go on to defeat Dolph Ziggler with Layfield on commentary.
Opinion: This is the kind of move that works out well for everyone, as Layfield is someone the fans are going to recognize who can add credibility to Corbin. At the same time, Corbin has been so ..
