AEW Dynamite Results – March 8, 2023
Dynamite Date: March 8, 2023 Location: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, California Commentators: Excalibur, Taz, Tony Schiavone We’re done with Revolution and that means it is time to start getting ready for Double Or Nothing. That show is only two and a half months away so AEW actually needs to put some things together a little bit faster here. Other than that, we have a lot of fallout to get through so let’s get to it. Opening sequence. All-Atlantic Title: Orange Cassidy vs. Jay Lethal Cassidy is defending and everyone is sent to the back to start. Cassidy takes him down with an armdrag but gets reversed into a rollup for two. Back in and Lethal counters the tornado DDT but can’t get the Figure Four. They go outside with Lethal’s shoulder getting posted before going back inside, where he crotches Cassidy on top. It’s right back to the floor, with Cassidy’s leg being sent into the post and we take a break. Back with Cassidy winning a slugout and grabbing a suplex. Cassidy’s top rope D..

AEW Dynamite Results – March 1, 2023
Dynamite Date: March 1, 2023 Location: Cow Palace, San Francisco, California Commentators: Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, Taz It’s the go home Dynamite for Revolution and that means we have a stacked show. This time around that includes the Face of the Revolution ladder match plus a Casino tag team battle royal to determine the fourth team in Sunday’s four way Tag Team Title match. That should be more than enough to carry the show so let’s get to it. Opening sequence. All-Atlantic Title: Orange Cassidy vs. Big Bill Bill, with Stokely Hathaway, is challenging. Cassidy gets backed to the floor to start and the chase is on, with Cassidy messing with Bill’s mind. With nothing else working, Cassidy even steals Stokely’s glasses before tumbling away from Bill. Back in and the tornado DDT is countered into a side slam to plant Cassidy for the first time. A running big boot puts Cassidy on the floor and it’s time to set up the table (which they do move to the end of the ramp for once). Cassidy..

It’s A Dangerous Place: NXT Star Attacked In Parking Lot By Unknown Assailant
They did it again. There are all kinds of ways to write someone off of a wrestling television show, with an injury being one of the most common. Announcing that a wrestler is hurt can take a story in several ways, including the option of someone specific causing the injury. That is a favorite in NXT and now we have seen it again, with another wrestler being attacked. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Missing In Action: Speculation On Matt Riddle’s WWE Status This week on NXT, Wendy Choo was attacked in the NXT parking lot by an unknown assailant. Katana Chance announced that Choo had been found in the parking lot, where she was seen holding her arm. There is no word on whether Choo will miss time, or when she will be back if she does. This comes about a month after Nikkita Lyons was attacked in the parking lot, after which she announced that she had torn her ACL and would be out of action for roughly a year. That’s a dangerous parking lot. Check out some of the attacks there: [This post conta..

She’s Out: Very Unique Reason For WWE Star Missing Monday Night Raw This Week
That’s a rare reason. With so many different wrestlers on the WWE roster, there is going to be quite the collection of stars from around the world and from different backgrounds. That can make for some interesting situations, some of which are more negative than others. That was the case again this week, as a WWE star was not allowed to be at a show, though the absence was written in.

That’s a very long time. Injuries are one of the worst things that can happen to any wrestler as you never want to see someone put on the shelf.

WATCH: WWE Star Teases Major Turn After SmackDown Goes Off The Air
That has potential. Every so often, a wrestler will change from good to bad or vice versa. These changes can alter the course of their future as sometimes going to the other side is the right change for them. These changes can be exactly what a wrestler needs at times and we might have seen a big one for an up and coming star after this week’s SmackDown went off the air.

To The Shelf: NXT Star Reveals Torn ACL, Surgery Scheduled For Next Week
That’s a serious one. Injuries can take out any wrestler at any time and you never know when you are going to see someone put on the shelf for a good while.

Maybe? Here Is CM Punk’s Current AEW Status
The big return? There were several major wrestling stories last year but the biggest in AEW was the backstage fight after All Out, which resulted in several suspensions.

WATCH: WWE Star Joins Monday Night Raw Roster After Nine Month Absence
He’s new. WWE has a big enough collection of wrestlers that the company can split them into multiple rosters. That is the kind of wealth of talent that you do not see very often and WWE is mostly consistent with keeping each show’s wrestlers on their own roster. While there are exceptions, it can often mean a lot to have someone move over to the other show. Now it has taken place again, with a bit of a surprise.

The Nightmare is back. On tonight’s episode of Raw, WWE aired another vignette detailing the recovery of Cody Rhodes.

Editor’s Opinion: I think we all had a sense that this was coming, but now it is official. If I’m being honest, I hoped that WWE would have made him a surprise entry into the Royal Rumble match, but with all of the vignettes airing, I understand why they needed to make the announcement before the show. I still believe that 2023 is going to be the biggest year of his career, an..

It wasn’t the plan. Wrestling is quite the difficult task, with all kinds of things that need to go right, most of which can be completely wiped out if something goes wrong.

REPORT: Injury Update for Cody Rhodes WWE Return Before Royal Rumble
Since the now infamous Hell in a Cell match between Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes back in June, the WWE Universe continues to wait for Cody’s return. All indications were that Cody would have been challenging Roman Reigns by SummerSlam. However, the torn pectoral muscle took him out of the game until next year.

The expectation if that happens is that Cody would win the match and main event WrestleMania 39 against Roman Reigns. People are counting on that, but it’s been a minute since we had an update.
