Top AEW star was backstage at the WWE Royal Rumble.

During a “Big 4” pay-per-view weekend, there’s typically a lot of non-contracted talent in the area because they are usually booked for a signing/appearance elsewhere but it’s rare to hear of a star from a competing promotion hanging out backstage at a WWE event.

A photo circulating online appears to show Ricky Starks arriving with Cody Rhodes last night just prior to the live Royal Rumble broadcast. Starks and Rhodes are good friends and Starks is also friends with other wrestlers in WWE with Bayley being one example.

Backstage news on why Dragon Lee signed with WWE instead of AEW.

Advertisements

WWE is heading into 2023 with some momentum regarding talent acquisition as they’ve signed Dragon Lee to a deal that will see him start training at the Performance Center in January and work in NXT.

As previously reported, WWE was not interested in Dragon Lee until AEW put him on television without a contract. He later had a tryout with WWE, and they signed him to an NXT deal. (Watch Video Here)

Lee got over with the fans in AEW when he was part of Los Ingobernables a few months ago. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided insight into why Lee signed with WWE over AEW.

Meltzer explained that it “came down to the idea that right now AEW is so loaded with talent, and as talented as he is, there are so many people who would be ahead of him” that the promotion could push. (Watch Video Here)

AEW already has wrestlers such as Rey Fenix, Penta, Rush, and Bandido under contract. Meltzer added, “as talented as he is, he’d almost surely be lost in the mix in AEW or at least, that was what people who gave him advice believed.”

As previously reported, WWE is hoping to hire other “standout” talent in early 2023 following this signing. (Watch Video Here)

As he prepares to return to WWE, William Regal has broken his silence regarding his departure from All Elite Wrestling.

AEW/ROH President Tony Khan previously addressed Regal’s departure from the promotion, revealing that Regal asked for the company not to renew his deal so he could return to WWE to be in NXT with his son, who wrestles as Charles Dempsey. (Watch Video Here)

Lots of talented Wrestlers, and lovely people to work for. To my fellow BCC members, it was a special, albeit brief few months but it cemented our already strong friendship.

Ari Daivari comments on his producer role in AEW, how Tony Khan came up with the Trustbusters gimmick.

Advertisements

Ari Daivari was interviewed on the latest “AEW Unrestricted” podcast. Here are a few transcribed highlights:

Daivari explained how the Trustbusters idea came to be:

“I showed up one day and I found out that on tagging with a guy named Slim J. I said, ‘Okay, that’s interesting.’ Then Tony showed up later and I kind of talked to him a little bit. He just lays this whole idea on the line for me. I’m with the Trustbusters and Parker Boudreaux, and he has ideas for other members, which turned out to be Sunny Kiss and VSK. It all just kind of happened one day, but that’s what led to me getting my full-time job. So, you know, if that’s what the boss wants, that’s what the boss gets.”

“It was Tony’s idea. It’s something he wanted to do and it was just kind of presented to me. The funny thing was, a lot of it was kind of just some last minute stuff, just like, ‘Hey, this is what I want you to talk about. This is your new name. You’re in the Trustbusters.’ This was like minutes before I was about to go out there. Part of me took it as like a test because I get all this information and he’s like, ‘Go do it’, and I go, ‘No problem. I’m gonna knock this out of the fu**ing park first try’, and I feel like I did. I got I got to the back and he was like, ‘Hell yeah, that’s exactly what I wanted.'”

Advertisements

On working with the talent in AEW:

“Tony said, ‘I think you’re a good veteran leader for some of our younger wrestlers.’ Tony is really good about developing the younger wrestlers, younger talent, and asked me, and even said that about Parker, you know, Parker Boudreaux who’s in my group. He’s like, ‘I think he’s really good. He’s a young guy. I think he’ll do great learning from you’, and stuff like that. I said, ‘No problem’, and I kind of mentioned that I’d like to do that for all your talent. I would love to help out. So that’s how that kind of came about. Then I started working with the girls. Here in AEW, we have an extremely talented roster, and I’m not just saying that. Literally from top to bottom, our men’s division, women’s division, everybody’s good and it’s kind of obvious because Tony Kahn really prides himself on having banger matches and work rate. His roster is stacked. So a producer here, I kind of feel like almost sometimes like reigning talent back just a little bit for their own good. We got some some wild, crazy guys and girls who are dedicated to the business, and if you don’t reign them back a little bit, they’re gonna go out there and potentially kill themselves for the love of the business, which ain’t a bad thing to have that mentality, but sometimes you just want to kind of reign it back just a little bit like, ‘Hey, we got week to week TV. I need you here next week. You can’t kill yourself on this show because we need you here next week and the week after and the week after that and all that kind of stuff. So, being a producer, you just sometimes want to help instill the psychology, make sure some of the old school rules live on while still adding a new school flavor to it.”

Triple H’s stance on CM Punk returning to WWE has changed.

Advertisements

There is a lot of speculation about CM Punk’s future in the wrestling business following the uncertainty about what’s next for the top star.

As previously Watch Video Here reported, AEW is in talks with Punk about buying out his contract, and the only hang-up in making this happen is the non-compete period of the deal.

The belief is that since AEW wants a non-compete clause in the buy-out, they believe WWE could be interested in bringing Punk back, as no other promotion would be able to afford what Punk was making in AEW. Watch Video Here

Before AEW signed Punk, FOX was the one who pushed for WWE to talk with Punk as he previously worked on WWE Backstage on FS1. Those in WWE believed Vince McMahon wouldn’t have brought Punk back, especially after the AEW All Out brawl, if he was still in charge. Watch Video Here

Advertisements

WrestleVotes, which has broken stories on Twitter for years, said to Louis Dangoor Watch Video Here of Give Me Sport that shortly after Triple H took over in July, he was told that Triple H wanted nothing to do with CM Punk, but that seems to have changed as Triple H’s stance on Punk returning has “softened a little bit.”

“I did ask over the last couple of days, and it has softened a little bit from what I understand. I still think there’s Watch Video Here animosity. I still think there’s a lot of pieces that need to be picked up between the two of them specifically. But Hunter, learned from Vince [McMahon] and Vince made amends with everybody.”

WrestleVotes added that the door is “not closed” on Punk returning to WWE. Watch Video Here

Colt Cabana’s AEW return did not go unnoticed by WWE.

Advertisements

Colt Cabana’s return last night on Dynamite went over well with the fans in attendance and those posting on social media and it appears that WWE was paying attention too.

WrestleVotes tweeted today that Cabana’s return did not go unnoticed by people at WWE Headquarters in Stamford, CT. WrestleVotes tweeted, “Colt Cabana showing up on Dynamite last night didn’t go unnoticed in Stamford. That’s all I’ll say on that right now…”

Advertisements

What that means is anyone’s guess but some are already between the lines and speculating that this means that WWE might be interested in bringing Punk back as a way to take a big shot at AEW. Cody Rhodes’ return to WWE was seen as a blow to AEW at the time and getting Punk back, one of the top draws in the company, would be a way to send another message that the war is still on between both companies.

The likelihood of Punk wrestling again for AEW seems unlikely but in WWE, the word is that Triple H’s stance on Punk has changed so never say never on seeing Punk at WrestleMania again.

AEW star reacts to report about Thunder Rosa’s friends no longer being booked.

Advertisements

AEW star Capt. Shawn Dean has addressed Thunder Rosa’s friends no longer being booked by the promotion. Dean books the extras used on Dark and Dark: Elevation.

As previously reported, Dave Meltzer said in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that he was told that a lot of the extras used by AEW that were close to Rosa had not been booked of late, including KiLynn King, Madi Wrenkowski, and Jazmin Allure. There was no reason given as to why the decision was made not to use them.

Dean commented on what Meltzer said and called it false in a post today on Twitter by writing the following:

“It’s the kind of careless reporting like this causing unnecessary issues and problems for no reason! U have no info, yet still report this dumb bs! All those talented women are in good standing. So whoever brought that to ur attention is a liar and a fraud. #Salute.”

Advertisements

It should be noted that Dean is the person who books wrestlers for both Dark and Dark: Elevation. Meltzer did respond to that tweet by writing the following:

“All are expected back. It was just an observation made and mostly about King seemingly getting a little push and then not being on TV since, but I’m told she’s back and the rest are on the Texas dates.”

Rosa is the AEW Women’s World Champion, and she is said to be out with a back injury. The promotion has created an interim title that Toni Storm currently holds. On Friday’s episode of Busted Open Radio, Rosa addressed the negative rumors and reports about her.

AEW release wrestling star Ace Steel.

There is news coming out of the investigation into the backstage fight that occurred last month after AEW All Out.

Dave Meltzer reported today that Ace Steel has been let go by the company. Steel worked as a producer and is a close friend of CM Punk. According to reports, Steel was involved in the fight and threw a chair that hit Nick Jackson in the face.

“He was officially released yesterday,” Meltzer said. “That is the first bit of news out of that whole situation in weeks. He was released and there’s a lot of other stuff going on but it’s just stuff going on. There’s nothing else really to it but he was released yesterday.”

As of this writing, there is no word yet on the fate of the others who were involved in the fight. All sides have remained quiet until now. In the case of Punk, he is injured so if he remains with the company, he would not return to TV until he recovers from his injury.

Young Bucks drop a major tease about their mystery partner for AEW Dynamite

Advertisements

This week’s Being the Elite ends with a major tease and if you’ve been keeping up with AEW Dynamite, it’s pretty clear who is returning this Wednesday night as The Young Bucks’ mystery partner.

Last week on AEW Dynamite, The Young Bucks asked Hangman Adam Page about teaming up for the Trios Tournament. The previous week is when they patched things up but Page declined Matt and Nick Jackson’s offer because he wants to support The Dark Order, who are also in the tournament.

The mystery partner will be revealed this Wednesday and it’s widely believed to be Kenny Omega. Dave Meltzer reported last week that the reason why FTR vs. The Bucks rematch isn’t happening at All Out is that the company wanted Omega’s return figured into the storyline with The Bucks and Page. PWInsider later reported that it’s widely believed that Omega will be the mystery partner on Wednesday.

During today’s Being The Elite, there was a big tease at the end of the show. The episode ends with Matt Jackson getting a phone call and the person on the other line confirms that he is ready to return. Scroll down for the teaser and scroll down further to watch the entire “Being The Elite” show that was uploaded today.

This Wednesday night on Dynamite, The Young Bucks and their mystery partner will take on Andrade El Idolo, Rush, and Dragon Lee. Here are the matches announced for the tournament:

Goldberg comparisons to AEW star Wardlow: “There needs to be more characters like that”

Advertisements

There have been comparisons between Wardlow and Batista due to their size and how they came up in the business. Fans have also compared Wardlow and Goldberg as they have a similar entrance and are booked alike.

While speaking with Graham Matthews of Bleacher Report, Goldberg discussed the comparisons between himself and Wardlow. He considers it to be an honor to have someone compared to him.

“I understand the comparisons. I’ve heard of him for sure. I’ve seen pictures of him. I haven’t seen him work that much. Hey, man, more power to him. There needs to be more characters like that. There needs to be serious intensity out there. There’s people that slice meat. There’s people that eat meat and he needs to be eating meat…Big E is going to come into it.

I’ve never read anything about a comparison from him and how he passes judgment on it. At the end of the day, anybody that’s close to the top in their prospective business to be compared with myself. That’s an honor and a privilege.”

Goldberg had made media rounds last week to promote his WWE Biography documentary. He addressed rumors that he changed the finish of his match with Bray Wyatt at WWE Super ShowDown and his contract status with WWE.

AEW’s Jade Cargill hits impressive milestone.

Advertisements

Jade Cargill is one of the top rising stars in all of AEW as she has been pushed strongly since her arrival.

She made her AEW debut in November 2020 when she interrupted Cody Rhodes and mentioned that she would be bringing Shaquille O’Neal to AEW. Originally, the mixed tag team match was supposed to feature Brandi Rhodes, who was pulled from the match due to her pregnancy. AEW put Red Velvet in the match.

The NBA Legend and Jade went over in the match, which marked her in-ring debut on March 3, 2021.

Cargill is now the TBS Champion and still booked as a dominant force. She has yet to experience defeat in the promotion as she has been undefeated for 501 days. She has a perfect 34-0 record.

For context, she surpassed Goldberg’s undefeated streak in WCW a while ago at 462 days. Cargill still has a way to go to tie Asuka’s WWE undefeated streak, which lasted for 914 days.

AEW star debuts new look at Dark tapings.

Advertisements

Fuego Del Sol is undergoing a character change and gave the first glimpse of the new vision for his character as he had a new look at Saturday’s AEW Dark tapings in Orlando, FL.

On Twitter, he shared a photo of himself, and he’s now sporting a darker mask instead of bright colors, as seen below:

It appears he is going for a dark character as he had fans talking this weekend when he removed the avatar on his Twitter account and the AEW references. He has also deleted his tweets except for this photo, while his bio directs promoters to email BookFuegoDS@gmail.com for bookings.

Nearly a year ago, Feugo signed with AEW, which was included in a storyline on Rampage where he had to beat Miro to win a contract, but he lost. Despite the defeat, AEW President Tony Khan handed a contract to Fuego’s friend Sammy Guevara for him to sign

Shane McMahon has been indefinitely suspended from WWE
Since then, he has mostly been used on Dark except for a few appearances on Rampage. His last television appearance was on the July 6 Dynamite, where he teamed with Bear Country and Leon Ruffin in an 8-man tag team match, and they lost to The Acclaimed and The Gunn Club.

Dax Harwood backs Naomi and Sasha Banks.

The wrestling world continues to react to the situation involving Sasha Banks and Naomi following Monday’s episode of WWE Raw where the two stars walked out.

Now, Dax Harwood has shown his support to the two WWE wrestlers on social media as the AEW star, who is good friends with Banks, tweeted: “Always, always, ALWAYS stand up for what you believe in. F**king ALWAYS!!!”

Naomi was originally scheduled to win the 6-Pack Challenge on Raw but Banks and Naomi walked out of the building at the start of the show after handing their WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles to John Laurinaitis. Because Banks and Naomi left the venue, it forced WWE to rewrite parts of the show and the main event had to be changed.

The company later issued a statement, which made it clear that Vince McMahon is not happy about what went down. McMahon learned of the news just as the show went on the air and had Corey Graves say that the duo acted unprofessionally by walking out.

The Becky Lynch-Adam Pearce segment was done to explain why the 6-Pack Challenge was changed and was reportedly pitched “on the spot” with one source crediting Lynch for her quick thinking.

Prior to Monday’s Raw, WWE did have plans for Banks at Hell in a Cell while her tag team partner was supposed to challenge Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Title at the same show.

As previously noted, CM Punk responded to a tweet by Matt Cardona for seemingly mocking the situation.

AEW Dynamite: HOOK taps CM Punk out.

Advertisements

Fans in Long Island got to see CM Punk interacting with Danhausen and HOOK after the show but this week, the post-show segment got physical.

As seen in the clips below, Danhausen was able to make Punk back into the ring where HOOK was standing. They bumped into each other and it seemed as if all was fine between them because they shook hands.

However, HOOK refused to let go of Punk’s hand. HOOK proceeded to hit a t-bone suplex before locking him into the Redrum submission to send the fans home happy. Punk was obvioulsy playing the heel here becauase the fans in Long Island don’t like him because of his previous feud with MJF.

In related news, during tonight’s AEW Dynamite it was announced that HOOK and Danhausen will wrestle against Tony Nese and “Smart” Mark Sterling. Punk will headline the show when when he challenges Hangman Adam Page for the AEW World Championship.
