Shine them up real nice. Titles hold a special place in wrestling as any fan can understand the idea. Someone with a shiny belt is one of the most important wrestlers around or in this case, the reigning champion. That is something that has made sense in wrestling since its inception and it is still the case today. Now though we seem likely to be seeing some brand new titles.
According to Fightful Select, WWE has at least three new sets of titles on the way and already in their possession. There is no word on which titles WWE will be changing or when the new belts will be unveiled. WWE occasionally debuts new championship designs, with the most recent change being the newly designed Intercontinental Title, which was unveiled back in 2019.
Opinion: The term “sets of” titles has my interest as that might mean tag team titles or something else. New titles would certainly be welcome, as some of the belts that have been around for a long time now are showing their age. It would be great t..

So the plan was no plan? While WWE and AEW are the most high profile wrestling promotions in the United States, they are far from the only companies in the industry. There are several other promotions out there who can offer all kinds of high quality wrestling action. One of them found a new owner this year, but it seems that the plans were not as intricate as expected.
Back in March, AEW President Tony Khan announced that he had purchased Ring Of Honor. The company has since run two events and its titles have been regularly featured on AEW television, but it does not have a television deal of its own. According to Wrestling Observer Live, Khan originally had no plans for Ring Of Honor and purchased it so that other bidders, including WWE, could not acquire it. There is no word on what Khan plans to do with the company long term.
Opinion: Well ok then. I do get the idea of purchasing a promotion so someone else can’t, but it is a little weird to think that Khan bought one of the thre..

It’s a reunion. There are all kinds of wrestlers who pass through the WWE roster at one point or another. Some of them make a huge impact but the majority are often little more than footnotes in the company’s history. While they may be talented, they might not have gotten the kind of a chance they needed to go somewhere. Now two top WWE stars have reunited with two talented wrestlers who never got much of a shot.
Former WWE stars the Bollywood Boyz (better known as Sunil and Samir Singh) recently visited Seth Rollins’ CrossFit and posed for a photo with Rollins and his wife Becky Lynch. The brothers also praised Rollins Deadboys Fitness program while referring to Rollins and Lynch as their “road family”. The Boyz were released from WWE in June 2021 and have worked on the independent circuit since.
Just like ol’ times with the “road” family. @deadboysfitness

That is pretty cut and dry. Over the last three plus years, AEW has gone from an idea to the second biggest wrestling company in the world. As a result, there are now several more spots available for wrestlers to show what they can do on a bigger stage. This certainly has its advantages, but it does not mean that everyone on the roster is pleased. Now management is taking some steps to keep people around.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, AEW President Tony Khan has issued a new edict saying “nobody’s getting released”. This comes amid rumors of WWE contacting several AEW wrestlers with the hopes of them requesting their releases and coming back to WWE. Rumored names include Malakai Black and Buddy Matthews, though Black has denied the rumors.
Opinion: This is a tricky one as while the wrestlers do want out of AEW, they also signed contracts saying that they would be around. That only leaves so much room for negotiations or an attempt to get out and I’m not sure how well that is..

He’s down for a bit. One of the worst things to see in wrestling is an injury. You never want to see someone put on the shelf for any amount of time but unfortunately there is almost no way to prevent it from happening. Anyone can get hurt at any time and there is very little way to know it is coming. That was the situation this week and a match was stopped as a result.
This week’s NXT featured a match between Tony D’Angelo and Wes Lee. About eight minutes into the match, Lee tripped D’Angelo face first into the middle turnbuckle. D’Angelo could not get back to his feet and the match was stopped as a result. While not confirmed, commentary suggested that D’Angelo had suffered a knee injury of some kind. The match was taped on September 14 and D’Angelo has not wrestled since. There is no word on when he could return to the ring.
Opinion: That is horrible to see and now all we can do is wait and see just how bad things are for D’Angelo. A knee injury has the potential to be one of the ..

He isn’t a fan. There are a lot of things going on in WWE at the moment but the top story continues to be the Bloodline. Headed by Roman Reigns, the stable has dominated WWE for well over a year now and there is nothing to suggest that it will be stopping. The team has grown in recent weeks, but one legend does not seem pleased with the group’s new honorary member.
Earlier this month, Sami Zayn was made an official honorary member of the Bloodline, as Reigns gave him an “Honorary Uce” shirt. During an appearance on the SmackDown Low Down, WWE Hall of Famer gave an in-character interview where he said the Bloodline does not respect Zayn and called him a waste of skin. Lawler also said that when Zayn had no shirt on, he looked “like one of those baby birds that just fell out of the next and has no feathers yet.” Zayn has not responded to Lawler’s comments.
Opinion: Lawler is the person you call if you need an over the top statement like this and he did his job well in this case. Zayn i..

They’re gone for a bit. With so many wrestlers on any of the WWE rosters, it can be difficult to find something for all of them to do. There are only so many ways around this problem, with one of the simplest being to have less wrestlers. WWE has already let a bunch of wrestlers go in recent years, but now there are three more who will not be around for the time being.
The main event of this week’s edition of NXT saw Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs defeat Gallus in a Pub Rules match. Following the match, Gallus attacked a referee and were arrested to end the show. NXT’s Twitter has sent out an announcement saying that the team was suspended indefinitely. Gallus moved to NXT from NXT UK in July and has challenged for the NXT Tag Team Titles.

Things got shaken up in a big way last week as Ilja Dragunov debuted to add quite the wild card. JD McDonagh is the new #1 contender to Bron Breakker’s NXT Title but Dragunov is going to be put into a top spot rather quickly. This should be interesting on top of everything else around here so let’s get to it.
Here is Ilja Dragunov to get things going. He has beaten a monster to win gold before and now he is ready to do it again. This time it isn’t Gunther though, but rather Bron Breakker. Cue JD McDonagh to call Dragunov a sneaky, dirty little rat and to say that he hopes Dragunov’s ankle is healed.
McDonagh offers to end Dragunov’s career but here is Breakker to interrupt. Breakker says the title isn’t going anywhere but McDonagh has an idea: Dragunov vs. Breakker with McDonagh being there for to face the winner. That doesn’t work for Breakker, who says if his ma..

One less on the calendar. WWE is the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world and that gives them a lot of advantages over other companies. One of their major strengths is the name recognition that comes with running regular events around the country. It means something to get to see the action live, but that will not be the case for some fans.
According to PWInsider.com, WWE has canceled its upcoming Sunday Stunner event on October 16 in Prescott Valley, Arizona. There was no reason given for the cancellation of the show, which would have been the first WWE event in the venue, and no makeup date announced. The event was to be a SmackDown show, featuring matches such as the New Day vs. the Usos and Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross.
Opinion: This one comes a bit out of nowhere and I’m curious to know why the show was canceled. There is always the chance that it was due to low ticket sales, which would not be the most shocking in a new venue. WWE is on a bit of a roll ..

He would know. There has been a lot of movement in the wrestling world in recent months, with stars either jumping from one promotion to another or just taking some kind of a hiatus. That has led to some interesting changes in the wrestling landscape and it is not clear where it will all end. However, one star whose name has been discussed in recent weeks has spoken up and straightened a lot of things out.
In recent weeks, Malakai Black has been reported to have left AEW or at least taken a hiatus from the company. Black released a statement saying he was recalibrating after several years and would need some time to think. This week, Black live streamed a video on his Instagram page, addressing several of the rumors and explaining some of his current situation. Here are some highlights:
• Black’s contract with AEW is not for five years.
• Black has been granted time off from AEW by Tony Khan to deal with some things.
• He has received criticism over unconfirmed stories, including two..

Well that’s a turn. WWE has been running quite the mystery in recent weeks, but very little of it has been taking place on television. Instead, WWE has been doing more of an underground story, with incidents taking place at live events and a series of QR codes appearing on television, leading to more clues. There was another one this week and things got even weirder.
A new QR code appeared this week on Monday Night Raw, taking you to a site that features a collection of WWE clips which comprise the words “Who killed the world? You did.” It also included coordinates for Prata Nevoso, Italy, the location of the Giant Pink Bunny. In addition, according to Ryan Satin, looking at the site’s source code shows the phrases “No man is ever truly good, no man is ever truly evil”. These were the lyrics to Aleister Black’s WWE theme music, though there is nothing to suggest that Black is on his way back to WWE.
WHOAHHH!
While searching for the QR code on here, because I was having trouble on m..

Not so much for that. The rise of AEW has opened up several new doors for wrestlers, as stars now have a new platform to ply their trade on a big stage. AEW has had some success so far and the question now becomes how much of that can they maintain. At the same time, there are going to be some wrestlers who want out, but it seems that one recent story wasn’t accurate.
Last week, a report surfaced saying that Bobby Fish, who has left AEW, was trying to get Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly to return with him to WWE. However, according to Fightful Select, AEW sources are denying this story and there has been no contact between WWE and Fish about a possible return. Both Cole and O’Reilly are currently out of action with injuries and it is not known when they will be back.
Opinion: This makes a bit more sense, as even if the three of them wanted to go back to WWE, there is a long list of issues that they would have to solve with their AEW deals in the first place. The Undisputed Era could work..
