Tis the season. Wrestlers often have a tricky job as they have to be a mixture of athletes, actors and characters, all at the same time. There are so many people involved in a wrestling production that you are going to see some people who are better than others at each job. This time around, we are seeing someone who is very good at the lighter side, and they are showcasing themselves well.
One of the best stories going in all of WWE at the moment is the backstage banter between Paul Heyman and interviewer Kayla Braxton. The two have quite the chemistry together, with Braxton enjoying needling Heyman when he is stressed and Heyman accusing Braxton of having a crush on him. This has led to quite the tribute and it happens to coincide with Halloween.
Check out what Braxton has done, plus the two of them together:

It’s still growing. We are only a few weeks away from AEW Full Gear and that means it is time to start putting everything together. You can see most of the card already and that means AEW only needs to add in a few more things. That is one of the more interesting parts of a pay per view build but now they have added in a few more pieces to the card as a whole.
There were two new matches added to the Full Gear card during this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, plus a previously announced match had a stipulation added. First up, the returning Darby Allin challenged Maxwell Jacob Friedman to a grudge match at Full Gear. This comes after Friedman attacked Allin a few weeks back, putting Allin on the shelf. The match was confirmed later in the night.
Next, the Lucha Bros accepted FTR’s challenge for the AEW Tag Team Titles. This comes after FTR defeated the Lucha Bros for the AAA Tag Team Titles earlier in the month. Finally, Sammy Guevara defeated Ethan Page to retain the TNT Title. As a r..

Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman
We’re still in the post Death Before Dishonor TV taping and that means we still have no crowd. I know Ring of Honor likes to do their marathon tapings but isn’t there some way we could get some fans in there for a change? It has made a world of difference for everyone else and the fans not being there makes Ring of Honor seem like a promotion from another universe. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Quinn McKay (hey she’s back) welcomes us to the show and gives us the preview.
Tag Team Titles: Soldiers of Savagery vs. Dragon Lee/Kenny King Lee and King are defending. The Soldiers jump them to start so the champs bail to the floor for an early breather. We settle down to Lee getting in Moses’ face for no effect. It’s the Soldiers being sent outside for a change and that means the champs get to hit the Tranquilo pose. Back in and Khan runs King over for t..

Dynamite

We’re closing out October and that means Full Gear is coming up next month. Most of the card is either already booked or pretty obvious (Tony Khan’s notebook is available if you need some pointers) but we still need to fill in some gaps. As for tonight, it’s CM Punk’s in-ring Dynamite debut against Bobby Fish. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
CM Punk vs. Bobby Fish It’s Fish’s birthday and Punk’s birthday was yesterday for a bit of trivia. JR says Fish is an 18 year veteran so he won’t be blown out of the water. Feeling out process to start with Fish going after the leg and pulling him down into a chinlock. Punk fights up and fires off knees in the corner, setting up the slow motion slams, which he has somehow turned into a thing.
Fish kicks the leg out again though and scores with a slingshot hilo for two. Punk fights up and sends him outside for the s..

So I was trying to come up with something to talk about this week and the best thing I could think of was the Monday Night Raw tag division. Yeah. As you might be able to see, this hasn’t exactly been the most thrilling week as far as top stories go, but then everything changed all of a sudden as I was getting ready, and now I think I have something to talk about.
On Wednesday, Ring of Honor announced that they were going on hiatus following this December’s Final Battle event. Following the hiatus, they will return with a “new mission”, but most of the wrestlers will be allowed to wrestle elsewhere as they will be released from their contracts. The plan is to come back with Supercard of Honor in April, though it is not clear who will actually be appearing on the show.
Now, you can use words like “hiatus” and “new” all you want, but there is one underlying reality here: Ring of Honor, at least as we know it, is gone. They might come back in April with a promotion called Ring of Honor,..

That doesn’t sound good. The Coronavirus pandemic changed the way the world worked, including professional wrestling. Almost everything underwent some kind of a change and some of those changes are still being felt today. While some things are back to normal, there are still a few pieces that need to be adjusted, and now we are seeing some of the fallout for one company.
Ring of Honor Wrestling has announced that they will be going on hiatus following the December 11 Final Battle event. The company’s statement, released on Twitter, says that the company has kept everyone full contracted for 18 months without running a live event. They now need to change their business operations and pivot to a new strategy and mission. The company will take the first quarter of 2022 to make changes and plans to return in April 2022 with Supercard of Honor.
In addition, Dave Meltzer is reporting that Ring of Honor has released all of its wrestlers from their contracts. According to PWInsider.com, seve..

It’s a new path. Wrestlers are in a weird place when it comes to celebrity status. While they are often on national television, they are often only known for being wrestlers. That often limits what kind of star power they can have, though every now and then you see someone move a few steps beyond. Now we are going to see a wrestling legend moving into a new field.
WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus has announced that she will be a guest judge on the upcoming reboot of Canada’s Got Talent. The series will premiere in early 2022 after being off the air since 2012. Stratus will be one of the four judges, along with Howie Mandel, Kardinal Offishall and Lilly Singh. Stratus retired from WWE in 2006 but has returned for some short term appearances in the years since.
Stratus certainly had talent. Check out what she did in her WWE career:

That’s one way to go. There are a lot of ways to present a wrestler, but sometimes something needs to be changed. Whether it is due to something going wrong or something that just changes over time, there are instances when a wrestler needs something fresh. One of the best ways to fix this problem is by turning a wrestler from good to bad or vice versa, which is what we might be seeing again soon.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE’s current plan is for Dominik Mysterio to turn on his father Rey Mysterio. However, before the turn can take place, Dominik will have to lose several matches in advance. Dominik has not won a televised singles match since the May 21 edition of SmackDown, though he and Rey have won tag team matches since then. There is also still the chance that WWE could drop the story entirely.
Dominik does have some potential. Check out some of his time in the ring:

They might need to work on that. Despite being the undisputed biggest wrestling promotion in the world, there is no denying that there are some problems in WWE. The company is certainly not as popular as it once was and there are a lot of areas where they need to improve. Some of these are behind the scenes, and that seems to have been the case again with a recent major event.
Earlier this year, WWE held the annual WWE Draft, which featured some tag teams being split up. According to Fightful Select, some WWE employees pushed to keep teams together but were ignored, save for AJ Styles and Omos. Wrestlers whose teams were split were asking what the storyline logic was behind splitting teams up but were told that it didn’t matter. Finally some of the teams only learned that they were split up through social media rather than being told in advance. There is no word on which teams received this treatment.
Some of the teamed work well together. Check out some of the teams who were drafted..

Nice to meet you. There are certain wrestling families that you are always going to see pop up over the years. Some of them are among the most famous names in all of the industry and it can mean a lot when you see the next generation come up. It can be made even better when you easily tell that you are seeing a new family member and now we are seeing the next part of a classic wrestling family.
This week’s NXT featured the debut of Solo Sikoa, who is part of the Anoa’i wrestling family. Sikoa interrupted a segment between LA Knight and Grayson Waller, attacking both of them to clear out the ring. Sikoa joined WWE earlier in the year and is the younger brother of the Usos. His appearance was advertised in advance and he appeared in something similar to mixed martial arts gear. There is no word on when Sikoa is scheduled to have his first match.
He’s the new generation. Check out how Sikoa’s debut went and how his family works in the ring:

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over twelve years now and have reviewed over 6,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be?

We’re at the latest big international show here and that means…well it’s hard to say actually. There’s a lot going on at the moment in WWE but they have a tendency to turn these shows into a glorified house show with almost nothing happening. Hopefully WWE has figured that out and knows that we need to actually get something important on the show. Let’s get to it.

Hopefully it’s not bad. Wrestlers are rather unique in almost everything they do, but there are a few things that are constant among all of them. Unfortunately one of those things is that any of them can get hurt at any given time. Some of these injuries are going to take place all at once, but others might have been built up over time. We might be seeing another one at the moment.
WWE had advertised a match on this week’s Monday Night Raw between AJ Styles and Omos and RKBro. However, the match did not take place and Styles did not appear on the show. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, this is likely due to Styles suffering an unspecified injury, though this has NOT been confirmed. Styles wrestled at Crown Jewel on October 21 and had reportedly been dealing with some kind of injury. There is no word on when he will return to television.
Styles is still great at what he does. Check out some of his time in the ring:
