A new voice. Commentary is one of the most important parts of a wrestling show. The commentary team guides the fans through what they are watching and tells them where the promotion wants them to go. That is the kind of thing that can make or break a show and the wrong commentary team can be a bit of a mess. Now we are seeing an adjustment to one such team.
AEW’s Ricky Starks was recently interviewed by WrestleTalk and revealed that he would be replacing Mark Henry as a permanent commentator on AEW Rampage. This comes after just six episodes of the show, with Henry being on commentary team since the beginning. Henry has still been conducting interviews before the main event. It is not clear if he will continue in this role going forward, or what else he will be doing for AEW.
Starks is talented enough. Check out what he has done during his time in AEW:

Those are some communication issues. WWE has been going though a lot of changes as of late, with several wrestlers leaving the company. That can make for some interesting fallout, as several of the wrestlers have had some not so great things to say in WWE on their way out. It seems that is the case again, as we are hearing another story about WWE being all over the place backstage.
Recently released WWE star Alex Zayne was interviewed by Fightful Select and spoke about his release from the company. Zayne, who wrestled in NXT and on 205 Live as Ari Sterling, mentioned that he called WWE talent scout William Regal after his release, to which Regal was said to be “in shock”, as he did not know cuts were coming. Zayne was informed of his release by John Laurinaitis, who was said to be very polite in explaining the news. There is no word on any more releases coming to the NXT or WWE rosters.
Zayne was quite a star on 205 Live. Check out what he did during his time in the company:

It would be an honor from AEW. There are certain wrestlers who are legends for at least one reason, but there are some whose reasons are a lot sadder than others. That is certainly the case with wrestlers who pass away before their time. Thankfully there are not as many of these as there have been in generations past, and now one of the better known ones will be receiving an honor.
AEW has announced that they will be partnering with the Owen Hart Foundation to honor the legacy of Owen Hart. This will include an annual tournament held within AEW, with the winner receiving a trophy known as “The Owen”. AEW will also offer exclusive Hart merchandise and Hart will appear in an upcoming AEW console video game. There is no word on when the tournament will start.

Maybe that can help things. There are all kinds of stories in the history of wrestling and some of them are a lot better than others. You often hear stories of wrestlers doing good things, but unfortunately you hear bad stories all the more often. Some of these have been told on television, which was the case last week. Now though, one of the people involved has had to issue an apology.
The most recent episode of Dark Side of the Ring focused on the infamous Plane Ride From Hell. Back in 2002, a group of WWE stars flew on a transatlantic flight after a European tour. What followed was quite the mess, with all kinds of alcohol being consumed and wrestlers doing some rather bad things. One such thing in particular went further than the rest and now a wrestler is having to apologize for his comments about the situation.
During this week’s show, flight attendant Heidi Doyle spoke about Ric Flair forcing her to touch his genitals during the flight. Tommy Dreamer dismissed the comments and..

Get his face off the milk carton. There are all kinds of names on the WWE roster and some of them get to be on television a lot more often than others. That can make for some interesting situations as you don’t know who is going to show up on any given night. At the same time though, there are some wrestlers who do not show up and now we know why one wrestler has not been around.
Back in July, Davey Boy Smith Jr. returned to WWE, wrestling a dark match before an episode of Monday Night Raw. Smith appeared in a video after the match, saying he was back in WWE, but he has not wrestled since or appeared on WWE television. According to PWInsider.com, Smith is still with WWE but has not been assigned to a brand as of yet. His situation is described as “hurry up and wait” at the moment.
You might need to get to know him again. Check out some of Smith’s time in WWE:

Now with hard numbers. Since AEW’s debut around two and a half years ago, the promotion has gone into something of a cold war with WWE. While the two companies have gone head to head on Wednesday nights with NXT, it wasn’t quite the same thing as AEW Dynamite vs. WWE Monday Night Raw. That still is not the case now, but something similar has caught some eyes.
On Monday November 29 and Wednesday December 8 respectively, Monday Night Raw and Dynamite will be held in the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York. The WrestleTix Twitter account is reporting that, as of Saturday evening, Dynamite is outdrawing Monday Night Raw in ticket sales, at 70% sold for Dynamite and 32% sold for Monday Night Raw. Dynamite’s setup allows for about 1,500 more fans and Monday Night Raw has nearly twice as many tickets still available (5,033 to Dynamite’s 2,684).

That’s some quality trolling. There are certain wrestlers who just connect with the fans in the right way. You see them come to the ring and the fans instantly react, which is not something that happens very often. It can be a mixture of a lot of things and the wrestler’s theme music is one of them. That was used in quite the act of messing with the audience over the weekend.
AEW’s Matt Hardy appeared at a Battleground Championship Wrestling event at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday. Hardy was scheduled to wrestle in a tag match and said that he was bringing in family to help. The Hardys’ WWE theme song played and AEW’s Marq Quen appeared, imitating Matt’s brother Jeff. Matt posted a video of the event to Twitter, laughing at the fans for being “extreme marks”.
This got some attention. Check out how the entrance went, plus what the real team looks like:

That’s kind of an explanation. The WWE roster has been shaken up in a variety of ways over the last few months and that seems like it will be the case going forward. It can be interesting to see when someone goes off of television, but it can be worse to hear that something is wrong. That does not seem to be the case this time, though it does not exactly clear things up.
Monday Night Raw’s Mia Yim has not wrestled a match since December 2020 and it is not clear why. Yim tested positive for the Coronavirus earlier this year but has reportedly been cleared. This weekend, Yim sent out a tweet saying she was not injured. There is no word on why she has been out of action, though she was quietly traded from SmackDown to Monday Night Raw in the spring. Yim was last seen as part of the Retribution stable, which split up in February.
I’m not injured.

Yim is certainly worth having around. Check out what she an do when she is allowed in the ring:

Hopefully it isn’t too bad. There are all kinds of reasons for a wrestler to miss time from television and some of them are a lot more serious than others. One of the biggest problems can involve getting injured, as you will occasionally see someone have to go on the shelf for a little while. That seems to be the case again on Monday Night Raw, as a star is going to be missing for a little while.
Earlier this week, WWE reported that MVP would be out of action due to a broken rib at the hands of Big E. According to F4W Online, MVP underwent knee surgery this week to repair an injury which took place during a match earlier this year. There is no word on how long he will be out of action or if he will be returning to the ring when he returns to television. MVP has been serving as Bobby Lashley’s manager.
MVP has been a heck of an addition to Lashley. Check out what the two have done together:

It’s time for the brand new look to the show and that might be a good thing. At the same time, what matters more is the fact that this show is morphing into the NXT supplemental show that it has needed to be for a long time now. I’m not sure what to expect from this show, and that’s a nice feeling after all these years. Let’s get to it.
Valentina Feroz vs. Amari Miller Feroz grabs the armbar to start and Miller can’t quite forearm her way to freedom. Instead, Miller grabs her own armbar but Feroz flips her way to freedom. A kick to the head drops Feroz though and some knees to the face from the apron rock Feroz again. The chinlock doesn’t last long but a knee to the ribs cuts off a comeback attempt. Some wristdrags have Miller in trouble but she grabs a spinebuster. That’s fine with Feroz, who grabs a cross armbreaker from the mat for the tap at 5:56.

It’s a way to set up the big one. While WWE and AEW get almost all of the wrestling attention in America, there are other promotions out there which are putting out a qualify product of their own. This would include Impact Wrestling, which is just over a month away from its biggest event of the year with Bound For Glory. The show needs a main event though and now they might have that covered.
This weekend at Impact Wrestling’s Victory Road event, Christian Cage defeated Ace Austin to retain the Impact Wrestling World Title. After the match was over, X-Division Champion Josh Alexander came out and said that he was using Option C to cash in his title for a shot at the World Title at Bound For Glory. This comes after Alexander had been teasing going after the title for a few weeks now.
Alexander is a main event star in the making. Check out what is waiting on Cage:

It was fun while it lasted. AEW has built up an impressive roster over its still rather short existence. The promotion has a nice mixture of rookies, established named and veterans, which add up to quite the entertaining lineup. Sometimes you need some more well known names to help boost up the younger ones, though AEW is going to be losing one such older name for the time being.
Last week on AEW Rampage, Andrade El Idolo attacked his associate Chavo Guerrero, leaving him to be taken out by Pac. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the angle was designed to write Guerrero off of AEW television as he will be returning to work as the wrestling coordinator on the NBC series Young Rock. Guerrero was always scheduled to leave soon after All Out but will be back when Young Rock finishes filming its second season.
Guerrero certainly is a star. Check out some of his better moments from around the wrestling world:
