Bring them on in. Wrestling promotions have a lot of different things to balance at any given time in order to keep their fans happy. This includes making sure that they have fresh matches and wrestlers so that their cards don’t get stale. That is a bit easier to do today in modern wrestling with so much talent available, and now some more wrestlers might be making appearances in a major American promotion.
AEW Vice President of Talent Relations Christopher Daniels has announced that AEW has come to a working agreement with DDT Pro-Wrestling. This will allow the company’s wrestlers to appear for AEW, though there is no mention of AEW wrestlers appearing in DDT-Pro Wrestling.. There is no word on when this will begin or who might be appearing for AEW. DDT-Pro Wrestling is a Japanese promotion owned by Pro Wrestling Noah’s parent company and was Kenny Omega’s home promotion before moving to New Japan.
?Announcement! ?
AEW's VP of Talent Relations Christopher Daniels has a message..

He’s got some gold. Titles are the most important part of almost any wrestling show as they are the easiest story to tell. You can see someone win, defend, lose or pursue a title and everyone can understand the concept without much trouble. This has worked since professional wrestling began, but this time around someone has won a title that they are not going to lose.
Gable Steveson won the NCAA Heavyweight Championship over the weekend for the second year in a row. After the match, Steveson officially retired from amateur wrestling. Steveson signed with WWE last year and appeared at Summerslam before being drafted to Monday Night Raw in the 2021 WWE Draft. He is expected to begin working with WWE full time in the near future.
PURE DOMINANCE!!

Keep it going. We are less than two weeks away from WrestleMania 38 and one of the bigger WWE stories at the moment is about wrestlers finding a path to the show. In some cases that makes sense, but there are several wrestlers who have one realistic chance to make it to WrestleMania. Now it seems that two more people are ready to follow their narrow path.
The current plan for the Raw Tag Team Title match at WrestleMania 38 includes RKBro defending their titles against the Street Profits. RKBro accepted the challenge this week on Monday Night Raw, but Alpha Academy attacked both teams later in the night. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the current plan is for Alpha Academy to be added to the match, making it a triple threat. There is no word on if any other teams would be added to the match.
Opinion: This isn’t much of a surprise and I kind of expect a fourth team to be added as well to match the Women’s Tag Team Title match. The triple threat concept is a bit played o..

That’s better, I think? Injuries are one of the few constants in wrestling, but they can also be used as a storyline. Be it in a match or an angle of some kind, a wrestler can fake an injury to advance whatever else they are doing. That can open up some doors for some interesting stories, and now that seems to be the case again, as a star has played off of her own bad luck.
At Sacrifice earlier this month, Impact Wrestling’s Chelsea Green seemed to injure her arm in a match against Deonna Purrazzo. Green’s arm was placed in a cast though she managed to wrestle the following week on television. However, this week Green posted a tweet announcing that the injury was not real and that she had faked the injury to fool “all the marks” and prove that “the internet is f****** useless.”
UPDATED DIRT SHEET REPORT: Chelsea Green shocks the world. Fools all the marks into thinking she broke her arm. Proves the internet is fucking useless.

Opinio..

It might be a bit. An injury can take someone out of action at any time, but what can make them even worse is when you don’t realize that someone is injured. Sometimes it seems that a wrestler is gone because there is nothing for them to do, but then it turns out that they are not allowed in the ring at the moment. That is the case with a current AEW star, who has made things a bit more clear.
AEW’s Matt Sydal has revealed that he has suffered a dislocated knee, which has kept him out of action recently. Sydal did not reveal when he suffered the injury or how long he will be out, though he did make it clear that he did not suffer a tear to his ACL or PCL. Sydal has not wrestled an AEW match since the February 21 edition of Dark: Elevation, where hw as on the winning team in a ten man tag.
Thanks for the birthday love. ???
A brief update: I dislocated my knee a few weeks back which is why I haven’t been active in AEW. In good news, there were no tears in my acl or pcl. Gonna do some ..

That isn’t good timing. We are less than two weeks away from WrestleMania 38 and most of the show seems to be set. There are still some things that need to be added or tweaked, but at least the bigger parts are ready to go. That includes the main event title matches, but now one of the bigger title matches on the card might need a bit of an adjustment due to an injury.
WWE.com has announced that Bianca Belair has suffered a fractured hyoid bone in her throat due to Becky Lynch’s attack this week on Monday Night Raw. As a result, Belair will be out of action for an undisclosed amount of time, though she will not need surgery. Belair is currently scheduled to challenge Lynch for the Raw Women’s Title on night one of WrestleMania 38 on Saturday April 2.
Opinion: This certainly feels like a storyline and I would be stunned if Belair is not ready for WrestleMania. It is going to be one of the bigger matches this year and one of the biggest in Belair’s career. The dueling throat injuries i..

The ones that matter. NXT has been completely changed in recent months, with the launch of NXT 2.0 taking away almost all of the things that defined the promotion for years. That is the kind of thing you do not see take place very often and it was a big shakeup, including for the television show. The audience is not what it once was either, but what does that mean to the USA network?
According to the Mat Men Wrestling podcast, USA is happy with the audience that NXT has been drawing in recent weeks. This includes an audience in the 600,000 viewers a week range, with 700,000 for a major show. The last two editions have featured audiences of 624,000 on March 15 and 613,000 on March 8. USA also reportedly does not care if WWE stars appear on the show, as long as the audience is in the acceptable range.
Opinion: A lot of fans, certainly myself included, will regularly discuss the audience numbers for a wrestling show, but ultimately the network’s opinion is what matters the most. If USA ..

It would be nice to have him back. AEW has had some impressive success in its early years and a lot of that is due to the wrestlers on its roster. There are some very talented people working for the company and some of them are among the best in the world. There are times when a wrestler has to miss some time, and now it might be even longer than originally expected.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW’s Kenny Omega is current recovering from knee surgery. The recovery time from the surgery is expected to last about ten weeks, though it is not clear when Omega underwent the surgery. Omega is also expected to have surgery to correct a sports hernia at the end of March, which is followed by another two month recovery. There is no word on when Omega is expected to return to the ring. He last wrestled at Full Gear in November 2021.
Opinion: This is something that might be frustrating but Omega is taking his time to get everything better, which is more important than getti..

We have a guest start this week as Roderick Strong is coming over from NXT. That isn’t something that happens very often and I’m curious to see where it leaves. It very well may be a one off match, but it’s a little weird to see WWE suddenly caring about this show after years of indifference. Let’s get to it.
In Memory Of Scott Hall.
Opening sequence.
Oliver Carter vs. Tyler Bate Ashton Smith and Trent Seven are here too. Bate works on a wristlock to start but Carter slips out and grabs one of his own. They go to a quick pinfall reversal sequence and it’s off to an early standoff. Carter takes him down with an armbar and then does it again to show off. Back up and Bate hits a running dropkick out to the floor for a crash.
Bate starts in on the ribs but gets taken down by a quick crossbody. That doesn’t see to bother Bate, as he is right back with the airplane spin..

Next one down? There has been a lot of turnover on the AEW roster in recent months as the company has brought in several new starts to take the places of some of the company’s originals. This has not included many wrestlers being outright released, but it has included some contracts expiring and not being renewed, meaning that the two sides can go their separate ways. That seems likely to be the case again in the next few weeks.
According to Fightful Select, Marko Stunt’s AEW contract expires in May and there is nothing to suggest that the two sides will continue working together. Stunt has not appeared in an AEW match since September and he has not been backstage at Dynamite in months. Stunt did begin taking independent bookings again in January and has been appearing on the independent circuit since.
Opinion: I don’t think this is much of a surprise as Stunt has not been around for a long time in AEW. He certainly has a fan following, but right now that does not seem to matter in t..

Maybe she wants to do something else? With so many people on the WWE roster, it can be tricky to find something for them to do. That can make some of WWE’s maneuvers seem all the stranger, as it can be rather confusing to try and figure out what they are thinking from time to time. That is the case again now, as a recent return seems to have fizzed out just after it got started. Now the wrestler involved has commented on it too.
Last month at Elimination Chamber, Alexa Bliss wrestled her first match for the company since September. However, she has not appeared or been mentioned in any significant way since. Some fans asked Bliss about this on Twitter, with Bliss responding that it isn’t her decision when she comes back. There is no word on when Bliss will be back, but previous reports suggested it would be after WrestleMania.

Welcome back? There have been some big changes in the wrestling world as wrestlers move from one promotion to another. It can be quite the moment when someone shows up in another place, especially if it is someone coming back to where they have been before. That is going to be the case in the near future, but how is the rest of the locker room reacting to the whole thing?
Earlier this week, news broke that Cody Rhodes would be returning to WWE after leaving AEW earlier this year. Rhodes is expected to return to WWE television at some point over WrestleMania weekend. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com, some top WWE stars recently told him that they are “very excited” about Rhodes returning to WWE. There is no word on what he will be doing when he returns.
