Welcome back to wrestling world!
AEW has been teasing a big new secret signing and everyone is speculating about who it could
be, so we’ll take a look at that story as well as some other stories about Kayla Braxton
and AJ Lee
Let’s start things this secret AEW signing that will be revealed at AEW revolution
AEW is really scooping everyone up and signing them to the company right now, from younger
talent to older talent, they’re signing a lot of talent to AEW
One of their most recent surprise signings was Paul Wight, formally known as the Big
Show in WWE
Paul Wight was backstage at AEW this week and even appeared on AEW to make his television
debut and announce something even bigger..,
Paul Wight talked about a new project and how he would be doing color commentary, but
he he also revealed his big insider scoop that AEW has another surprise signing on the
way and that this individual will be revealed at AEW Revolution
The event is called AEW Revolution, but Paul Wight said “Evolution” during his promo,
so some fans were wondering did he just misspeak or was just a subtle hint at the AEW signing
being a former member of the Evolution faction?
Fans will really reach and come up with theories for every single thing you give them, so Paul
dropping the word “Evolution” is one of the things that fans really ran with
So the four Evolution members were Randy Orton, Triple H, Ric Flair, and Batista
Well you can scratch off Triple H and Ric Flair from the list of possibilities for obvious
reasons
Randy Orton is locked in a major storyline and isn’t going anywhere, while Triple H
plays a big role in WWE’s day-to-day operations, so he isn’t going anywhere either
That leaves us with Batista and Ric Flair which both have a bigger possibility than
Orton and Triple H
Ric Flair was a part of a big storyline on Raw and was going to be a regular occurring
character again on WWE television, but Lacey Evans’ pregnancy has left Ric Flair without
a role again and he’s been sent back home
We even heard that Ric Flair wanted to get in the ring and get physical again, but wasn’t
cleared by WWE, so does he go over to AEW like Big Show and Sting did because they weren’t
happy with how they were being treated?
I mean it’s always a possibility, but it seems so highly unlikely, also the fact that
Paul Wight hyped this signing up like if he’s going to play a big role in AEW makes the
Ric Flair AEW signing seem even more less likely
They wouldn’t hype up the signing of a 72 year old talent like that
Ric Flair even recently commented on Big Show’s AEW signing while speaking with Busted Open
Radio and had this to say:
“I didn’t see it coming, and I’m sure [AEW] must have made him a spectacular deal
over there,”
“Do I wish had would stay with us personally?
Yes.
At the same time, he has earned my respect, and I think he has earned the respect of everybody
and should be able to make whatever choice he wants.”
“I was just with him, and I did not see it happening.
He did not mention a word to me, and I was with him, what two or three weeks ago, whenever
they had the Legends Reunion.”
“I wish him well, and he and I would be friends no matter where he is and what he
does,”
So the fact that Ric Flair said “us” sounds like he’s still with WWE 100 percent, so
he can be scratched off
That leaves us with Batista, who hasn’t wrestled a match since his retirement match
in 2019
Batista was also a big name going around about being the mystery AEW signing, but Batista
was quick to set the rumors straight
He took to twitter and debunked the rumors and buzz with this statement when responding
to a fan mentioning him as the mystery signing:
“They’re going to have to come up with another word thats used specifically for professional
wrestlers who actually mean it when they say they’re retired.
Currently the word “retired” has zero credibility by professional wrestling standards.”
Batista is right, the word “retirement” has zero credibility in professional wrestling,
so many of the greats have come out of retirement so many times that no one ever takes a wrestler
serious when they say they’re “retired”
But in Batista’s case it looks like he means it, he’s retired and he’s not coming back
to wrestle for WWE or AEW, so you can toss out that pick as well
As no surprise to anyone at all, CM Punk was also on the list of possibilities for the
AEW signing
Whenever any mystery appearance or mystery character is going on in pro wrestling, it’s
basically tradition now to just put CM Punk on the list of possibilities every single
time, yeah it’ll never happen, but fans love to dream
CM Punk did a question and answer session on twitter and started it off by addressing
the AEW rumors, he had this to say:
“Let’s try this again.
Q and A time!
Use hashtag “ask punk” and no, it’s not me.”
Punk was obviously referring to the fact that he wasn’t the big surprise that AEW and
Paul Wight was talking about
CM Punk also responded to one fan who had this to say:
“since it’s not you, who do you think would be the best addition to the AEW roster
and why?”
CM punk responded with his opinion and said:
“I think they should focus on who they have.”
So we got the confirmation from CM Punk that it’s not him and we also got his feelings
about AEW
It seems like he thinks they should slow down with the signings and just focus on the core
pieces that they have right now and he does make a great point
It just feels like AEW is announcing multiple new signings every single day, so it looks
like Punk’s advice is too just slow down and focus with what they already have
So it doesn’t look like it’s going to be any of those highly rumored WWE names,
but AEW President Tony Khan, continued to hype up the signing and had this to say:
“That brings me to our other announcement.
Last night, Paul Wight told you that you’re not going to be the only one with the scoops
around here anymore, and he’s gonna break some scoops too.
He told the world, and it’s true that there’s going to be a big star signed with AEW.
And he’s coming here, and it’s absolutely true what Paul said.
“This Sunday a major star in the world of wrestling, a huge, huge star is going to come
and sign a multi-year contract with AEW on Sunday at the pay-per-view.
I can confirm what Paul said is true, and I’m not talking about the person in the
ladder match.
We have a great, fun sixth person in the ladder match, but the person who I’m saying is
going to come and sign a multi-year contract with AEW, the person Paul referenced, that’s
not the sixth person in the ladder match.
Paul’s talking about a big surprise, and that’s no joke.
What he said to you I can confirm is true.”
So from the AEW president himself, this surprise is true and not connected to any of the other
matches on the card
Who will it be?
It’s hard to tell, but telling by them saying it’s a huge huge star and that he already
has a hall of fame worth career, that sort of heavily implies that this will be another
older talent, but we’ll see

Kayla Braxton once again deactivated her twitter account after receiving horrible comments
from the fans on twitter
It’s a horrible thing and it’s unfortunately not the first time Kayla Braxton has had no
other choice but to deactivate her account
She deactivated her account a handful of times over the last year or so after fans unnecessarily
came after her with horrible comments on several different occasions
It really does need to stop, but hopefully Kayla Braxton will return to twitter soon,
users have 30 day to reactivate their accounts before their gone forever and no one likes
to lose their full accounts, so she’ll likely return within those 30 days
