Welcome back. AEW has had quite the large amount of wrestlers coming through its doors over the years, with different names from around the world. The variety has allowed for some different combinations and the showcasing of different stars that you might not have ever seen before. Now one of the stars who left is likely to be back in the company rather soon.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Konosuke Takeshita will be returning to AEW “in a couple of weeks”. This comes after Takeshita returned to Japan following an excursion to AEW earlier this year. AEW always had plans for him to return though it was not clear when he would. Takeshita has faced several AEW names during his time with the company, including challenging Claudio Castagnoli for the Ring Of Honor World Title.
Opinion: This is some great news as Takeshita came in to AEW and made an immediate impact while having one entertaining match after another. While the roster is already rather big and deep, there are ..

It’s the go home show for Bound For Glory, which is tomorrow for whatever reason they have come up with this time. That is one of those things that is always a little weird and I can’t quite get into the idea here either. The good thing is that the card is already set so we should be in for the hard sell this time around. Let’s get to it.
In Memory of Antonio Inoki.
Opening recap.
Kenny King vs. Frankie Kazarian They fight over a lockup to start and go long enough that it has to be broken up in the corner. Some armdrags take King down but it’s way too early for the chickenwing, meaning Kazarian has to settle for a hammerlock. The Royal Flush is countered as well and Kazarian takes him down with a clotheslines. That just earns him a dropkick out to the floor, followed by the springboard spinning legdrop to give King two back inside.

There goes another one. WWE has been shaken up in several different ways recently and those changes do not seem to be slowing down whatsoever. With a new regime in charge of the company, all kinds of names have been moved around into different spots, with some people leaving altogether. That is the case again, as another popular name has departed from WWE.
According to PWInsider.com, Nigel McGuinness has been released from WWE. This comes after WWE has shaken up their announcing teams with all shows now moving to two announcers. McGuinness is the second commentator to leave WWE after Jimmy Smith earlier this week. McGuinness has worked for the company since 2016 and has done commentary on Main Event, 205 Live, NXT UK and NXT. There is no word on where he will be working next.
Opinion: This isn’t the biggest surprise after everything was shaken up yesterday but it is also a shame as McGuinness was one of the better commentators in WWE. He has the in-ring credentials and the fans respo..

That’s one down. There have been a lot of stories taking place in wrestling this year but one of the most infamous was the locker room fight after AEW All Out. The brawl resulted in several suspensions of wrestlers and backstage workers, some of whom had far more to do with the situation than others. Some of the suspensions have started to be lifted though and now another seems to be over.
According to F4WOnline.com, Brandon Cutler, who was suspended for his role in the backstage brawl, returned to AEW earlier this week, wrestling on Dark: Elevation. This would mean that his suspension has been served and he is back to work full time. Cutler was never accused of taking part in the fight and seemed to have been trying to break it up instead.
Opinion: This isn’t much of a surprise and it is nice to see some of the situation being cleared up. There were a lot of people involved in this situation but some of them seem to have merely been present for it rather than a contributing factor. ..

Not so fast. There are a lot of talented stars in the wrestling world who are not part of either WWE or AEW. Some of those wrestlers are among the most talented in the world and either major promotion would love to have them on their roster. It can become very interesting when someone gets caught in a bidding war between the promotions and that is the case again.
Earlier this week, a report surfaced that former Ring Of Honor World Champion Bandido had come to terms with AEW on a contract. However, according to Bandido himself in an interview with Mas Lucha, he has NOT yet signed a deal with AEW and is still in negotiations with them. Bandido has also received an offer from WWE and there is no word on which way he is leaning.
Opinion: Now this makes things more interesting as I’m not sure what is going to happen. Bandido is one of the most talented stars in the wrestling world these days and, assuming he wants to sign, he is going to wind up somewhere. That is going to be quite the co..

We have some sad news to report today as former WWE superstar and Tough Enough winner Sara Lee has passed away at the age of 30. Her mother announced the news on her Facebook page.

From Bleacher Report:
Lee appeared on the comeback season of the WWE reality competition series in 2015, earning a one-year contract with the company. She was released from her contract in 2016.
The cause of Lee’s death has not been announced. She posted a photo of herself on Instagram two days ago with a caption that read, “Celebrating finally being healthy enough to go to the gym 2 days in a row … first ever sinus infection kicked my butt.”
She was a surprising winner of Tough Enough, as she had been up for elimination five times before being named a finalist. The fans voted her as the winner, a..

It set them apart. There are very few names who have become the undisputed face of WWE over the years. These are some of the biggest names in the history of wrestling and they are often around for a long time. Every now and then you get to see two of them face off over an issue. That was the case at one point, but it was the result of a personal issue between them.
In his new book “There’s Just One Problem…: True Tales from the Former, One-Time, 7th Most Powerful Person in WWE”, former WWE writer Brian Gerwitz talked about the real life issues between the Rock and John Cena. The Rock’s side of the issue came from Cena saying that he felt the Rock never gave anything back to WWE after leaving for Hollywood. The worst part was that Cena made the comments in an interview rather than saying them to Cena’s face. Cena and the Rock would later make amends and face each other at WrestleMania 28 and 29.
Opinion: This is the kind of thing that can cause some issues for everyone involved as Cen..

It was a nice run. The position of lead commentator on WWE Monday Night Raw is one of the most important in all of WWE. The show is still the company’s flagship program and fans are going to see what they company is doing every Monday night. We are currently going through a change in broadcasting, but one name is not going to be reassigned to another place in the company.
Earlier this week, a report emerged that WWE would be changing the broadcasting teams on the three main television shows. This included Jimmy Smith being removed as the lead play by play announcer on Monday Night Raw. Smith has since commented on the situation, confirming that he has left WWE. Smith thanked fans for his time in the company and said that he was moving on, though not to where. This ends Smith’s run with WWE, which started in May 2021.
Just wanted to say, now that the story is officially out, that my time with the WWE is officially done. Had a lot of fun and met some great people. Really and truly blow..

There’s no interest. The rise of AEW has seen several stars having a new place to go in the wrestling world. While there have always been other promotions to go to, there are only so many spots on such a high level. Not everyone is going to be a good fit in WWE for one reason or another and one former WWE star does not seem like he would want to be back there anyway.
According to SportsKeeda.com, AEW’s Miro has no interest in returning to WWE or leaving AEW. This comes after Miro had seemingly vented frustrations about his status in AEW but has not asked for his release. There is also said to be no interest from WWE in bringing Miro back to the company, where he wrestled under the name Rusev. Miro has not wrestled since All Out on September 4.
Opinion: There are some interesting discussions of wrestlers jumping from one promotion to the other and that makes things a lot more fun. It can be fascinating to see someone trying to get out of their deal or trying to move elsewhere and then..

There’s a lot more to it than that. One of the biggest wrestling stories of the week has been the backstage altercation between Andrade El Idolo and Sammy Guevara at this week’s AEW TV taping. It is the latest physical altercation between AEW stars and comes after El Idolo made negative comments about Guevara in an interview on Mexican television. Now we know some more about the situation.
According to Fightful Select, El Idolo was said to have been the aggressor and was at the taping for the sake of fighting Guevara. El Idolo reportedly threw punches at Guevara, who did not throw punches back. According to Wrestling Observer Radio and Fightful Select, this is why only El Idolo was sent home and not Guevara, who went on to get the pinfall in the show’s main event. The Observer had five accounts of the incident, none of which say that Guevara ever threw a punch, but one account did say he shoved El Idolo after being spun around. El Idolo is said to be doing this in an effort to get fir..

That’s a good way to start. Wrestling takes away all kinds of personal time from its wrestlers, as they do not have the most time to spend doing whatever they want. This can make certain things difficult, including romantic relationships. One of the best ways to get around this is for wrestlers to date each other, which is what two AEW stars are doing to a serious point.
During an appearance on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Julia Hart revealed that she and fellow AEW star Lee Johnson are engaged. The two met and began dating at the Nightmare Factory before having to be apart due to Hart having to move back to Minnesota. They were both sent to AEW full time and have been together ever since. No date has been announced for their wedding.
Opinion: Well good for them. This is the kind of thing that is always great to see and thankfully the two of them seem to be happy together. That is more than most people get to say and it is even more impressive since they are in wrestling together. H..

It’s one of the important parts. There are all kinds of things that come together to make a wrestling show work. While the wrestlers themselves are the most important part, commentary plays a very important role as well. They serve as the fans’ guide throughout the show and take the stories where they are supposed to go. Now one of the most important commentary teams will be changing.
According to Variety.com, WWE is making changes to all of its commentary teams. First, Michael Cole and Wade Barrett will be calling SmackDown, with Barrett replacing Corey Graves, who was filling in for Pat McAfee, who is on hiatus. Monday Night Raw will be called by Kevin Patrick and Corey Graves, with Byron Saxton and the returning Cathy Kelley conducting interviews. NXT will be called by Vic Joseph and the returning Booker T, who called Monday Night Raw and SmackDown in the past. Finally, Cole and Graves will call major events together.
Opinion: These might seem like small changes but WWE commentary..
