On the mend. We are less than a week away from WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, which is going to be a stacked show. The card is going to be the company’s major event for the month and one of the biggest of the year, as tends to be the case for the shows taking place in the country. The top matches have already been announced, but one wrestler might not be 100%.
During an appearance on the most recent episode of the CarCast podcast, Goldberg revealed that his knee will not be 100% going into his Crown Jewel match against Bobby Lashley. Goldberg’s knee was injured in storyline during his match against Lashley, which ended when the referee decided Goldberg was too injured to continue. Goldberg said his knee will be good enough to beat Lashley.
Goldberg can be a force when he is healthy. Check out what he can do in the ring:

NXT UK
Date: October 14, 2021
Location: BT Sports Studios, London, England
Commentators: Nigel McGuinness, Andy Shepherd
It’s championship week as Ilja Dragunov is back to defend the United Kingdom Title against A-Kid. That has all the makings of a great match, but more importantly, there will be a crowd here for the first time in WAY too long as the United Kingdom has started to lighten their Coronavirus restrictions. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence, with a new song.
The fans are back!
Blair Davenport vs. Stevie Turner Davenport jumps Turner before the bell as we start fast. That’s fine with Turner, who fights back at the bell and scores with a Thesz press to hammer away. Some right hands in the corner don’t work out so well as Davenport drops her face first onto the turnbuckle and scores with a basement dropkick to the back of the head. Turner is back up with a running boot to the face and some neckbreakers get two. Davenport BLASTS her with a kick to the head for two more but ..

Is he next? AEW has a heck of a roster, with a fine mixture of legends, up and coming talent and rookies who are getting their first break. That kind of a mixture can offer a lot of different possibilities but at some point you need to bring in someone new. Those wrestlers could come from anywhere, with the independent scene being a prime target. We might be ready to see someone new show up in a few months.
According to Bodyslam.net, Mance Warner will be a free agent in January 2022. There has been interest in Warner from both WWE and AEW, the latter of which brought Warner in for visits at multiple shows last year. There is no word on where Warner will sign, as he has not been allowed to enter formal negotiations due to his current contract. Warner is currently under contract with Major League Wrestling but has not wrestled for them since March of 2020, instead wrestling on the independent circuit.
Warner will get your attention. Check out what he can do in the ring:

In black and white. AEW has already become the second largest wrestling promotion in the country and they have done so while doing things a little bit differently than WWE. One of the major differences is how infrequently AEW runs pay per view events, with only one a quarter rather than one a month. That makes the existing shows all the more important, and now we might know what to expect.
A photo of AEW President Tony Khan was taken at this weekend’s Jacksonville Jaguars game. In the photo, Khan is seen with a piece of paper, which seems to contain the card for Full Gear, which will be held on November 13. Currently, only one match has been announced, as Hangman Page will challenge Kenny Omega for the AEW World Title. There are eleven matches listed, including Page vs. Omega, with Page’s name circled. Here is what is listed, which is in no way confirmed for the show:
* AEW World Title: Kenny Omega (c) vs. Hangman Page
* Bryan Danielson vs. Jon Moxley
* MJF vs. Darby Allin
* Britt Ba..

Going with something new. No matter how talented a wrestler might be, sometimes they need to switch things up a bit, just to keep themselves fresh. This can be done in a variety of ways and some of them are a lot more effective than others. Sometimes the best way to go is with a complete visual shakeup, and that might be what we are seeing with a popular star.
According to Wrestlingnews.co, NXT’s Cameron Grimes may be in for a makeover in the coming weeks. Grimes has been searching for romance in recent weeks and was told by Grayson Waller that the problem may be in how he looks. This comes after Vince McMahon did not draft Grimes to the main roster because he does not like the look of the character. There is no word on what the new character would look like.
Grimes certainly is worth a look. Check out what he has done in NXT:

It is indeed a problem. WWE has been changing a lot as of late and there is nothing to suggest that the changes are done. You never know when WWE might shake things up again and that is rather interesting for a company that has been on top of the industry for so long. At some point, something needs to be adjusted though and we might know why WWE has been making some changes.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is aware that several of its top stars are in their 40s and that something need to be changed. This is part of the reason why NXT has been completely revamped, as WWE wants to appeal to a younger audience as well as start preparing some younger stars to be the future of the company. NXT’s previous roster was filled with wrestlers in their 30s, which was something WWE wanted to change.
NXT has certainly changed. Check out some of their recent efforts:

At least they have a reason. NXT is a unique promotion in that it exists for its wrestlers to leave. As the official developmental territory for WWE, NXT is there to build up the WWE roster. That is easier said than done in a lot of ways, but NXT has managed to make it work for a long time now. There are some names who are almost never called up though, and now we know why that is the case in one instance.
The main event of this week’s NXT saw Santos Escobar unsuccessfully challenging Isaiah Scott for the North American Title. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Escobar has not been called up due to being too small and too old. Escobar is billed at 5’11 and 205lbs and is 37 years old. He has been wrestling on NXT TV since February 2020 and is a former NXT Cruiserweight Champion. There is no word on if he will ever be called up to the main roster.
Escobar is worth a look. Check out what he can do in the ring:

That’s a good reason. There have been all kinds of changes to the WWE roster earlier this year and one of the biggest surprises was the release of Bray Wyatt. The former multiple time World Champion was let go as part of a collection of releases and has yet to appear elsewhere in the wrestling world. It was quite the surprise change and now we know a bit more about what happened.
According to Andrew Zarian on the Mat Men Wrestling podcast, Wyatt was let go from WWE for a variety of reasons rather than just one. There were a collection of behind the scenes issues, including Wyatt being difficult to work with and financial issues, along with an issue with Wyatt’s weight and some problems with his in-ring work. There is no word on where Wyatt will wrestle next.
Wyatt is a different kind of star. Check out what he can do when he is around:

Unmark your calendars. WWE is a huge wrestling promotion and manages to stick to its schedule fairly well. There are all kinds of regular shows on the calendar, as the company ha srun a lot of the same events for several years now. You can often remember which shows are coming up in each month, but that will not always be the case, such as later this year.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE will not be presenting a pay per view this December. Instead, WWE will be using the January 1 Day One pay per view as the December pay per view, with the Royal Rumble serving as the January event as usual. WWE never announced a pay per view for December, though Tables, Ladders And Chairs traditionally fills the role.
December has had some great WWE moments before. Check out what won’t be happening this year:
