Here’s your news for September 4th 2019
We're starting off with some huge news from AEW today as the company's
World Championship has reportedly been stolen.
According to sources, a police report was filed on Tuesday, naming Chris Jericho as the
victim of a title theft, and though the report didn't make clear which of Jericho's belts was stolen,
it's unlikely to be anything other than the AEW gold.
The police report read:
"The victim reported the theft of his championship wrestling belt while he was eating inside
Longhorn Steakhouse. The victim stated he arrived at the Millionaire Club Airport Terminal
and placed the belt inside his rented limousine. The limo driver shuttled the victim
to Longhorn for dinner. The victim remained at Longhorn while the limo driver returned to the airport
The victim had taken the wrong luggage from the airport and the driver took it back to the terminal.
When the driver picked up the victim from the restaurant, the belt was missing.
Responding officers searched the limo and airport for the belt without success
On-call CID was consulted, and forensics responded to the scene."
Though the report didn't say which title was taken from Y2J, Jericho himself would later issue a
statement, confirming it is the AEW World Heavyweight Championship and according
to Fightful, the case is still ongoing for Tallahasse's Police.
Obviously, this is terrible news for Jericho, who defeated Hangman Page at All Out to become the very
first World Champion of the new promotion, though maybe he could drown his sorrows
with a delicious Arby's sandwich.
When news about the title being stolen spread online, Arby's official Twitter joked
about making a new belt for the Fozzy singer, telling him that they have plenty of cardboard to use
though Jericho hasn't responded to this generous offer.
Hopefullly the title will be found soon, as it's a hard item to hide, and a stolen World Championship
is the last thing the new company needs ahead of their TV launch on TNT next month.
Though Jericho may be without a title, two wrestlers who left it all in the ring at All Out were Cody
Rhodes and Shawn Spears, who battled for over 16 minutes before Rhodes emerged the victor.
A hard fought victory to say the least, the former NWA World Champion is still reeling
from the match, and recently uploaded a photo showing his bruised and damaged body.
With the caption "Fallout from AEW All Out" the picture clearly shows just some
of the bruises that the American Nightmare took in his match.
Though he may be hurting, Rhodes won't have much time to heel, as he will be busy for the next month
preparing fans for the October 2nd, when the company launches their own TV show on TNT.
Whilst Cody and Spears put their bodies on the line during their match to entertain the fans
spare a thought for the third man in the ring, Earl Hebner.
The former WWE and TNA referee is no stranger to controversy, as he was part of the infamous
Montreal Screwjob in 1997, but Hebner apparently has some issues of his own at All Out.
According to a report by Fightful Select, Hebner was heading to the ring when a fan stared
having a go at him before the bell had rung. The report said:
“Earl Hebner had a little bit of an incident ahead of the Cody vs. Shawn Spears match, as a fan
started going at him in the front row.”
Despite the incident, Hebner was still able to perform his duties and help deliver a great match
and hopefully fans will be more respectful of the company and it's employees in the future.
Over to WWE now, and it seems the investigation is over, and Erick Rowan
has been revealed as the lone culprit of the Roman Reigns attacks.
This storyline has been going on for a while, and has been either the best thing in wrestling
or the worst, depending on who you asked.
A story full of turns that often didn't make sense, the company finally revealed that Rowan
was behind it all by himself this week, as the former Tag Champion attacked both Reigns
and his now former partner Daniel Bryan.
After weeks of backstage attacks by Rowan, the big dog will finally get his chance
for some revenge, when he takes on the collosal Superstar at Clash of Champions.
With that said though, Bryan is still demanding an apology from the former Universal Champion for
being accused in the first place, so expect these two former WWE Champions
to cross paths somewhere in the near future.
Though Reigns and Bryan's night didn't go how they wanted, they weren't the only Superstars
to go on an emotional roller coaster on this week's show.
During the same SmackDown, Drake Maverick and his long suffering wife were spotted
backstage, as the British Superstar was focused on not losing the 24/7 title.
After being called an idiot by Renee, Maverick would be jumped by the Singh brothers
but was able to avoid losing the gold.
This was only the start of Drake's troubles though, as the Lucha House Party and the B Team would
make their presence known,with Bo Dallas finally getting a pinfall over Maverick to claim the title.
After winning the title, Dallas became the target of everyone around him, and after Shinsuke
won defeated a jobber, he and partner Curtis Axel made their way to the ring.
Though Axel and Dallas attempted to fight off the Singh brothers and Gran Metallik, it was Maverick
who would shock everyone, rolling up Dallas to get the win and another reign as 24/7 Champion.
Celebrating on the ramp, Maverick REALLY should have learnt his lesson by now, as whilst he was
gloating, R-Truth appeared, wearing the King of the Ring robe on the throne platform.
Rolling up Maverick to win the title, Truth is starting his fourteenth reign with the gold,
as it seems Maverick won't be consummating his marriage any time soon.
Over to RAW now, and though Clash of Champions hasn't happened yet,
the red brand is already building to next month's Hell in a Cell Pay Per View.
On this week's show, Bray Wyatt announced on the latest episode of Firefly Fun House, that he would
be challenging for the Universal championship at the Pay Per View,inside the barbaric structure.
Though building up the match before Clash of Champions is odd, the company has been wise not to
telelgraph a result for next Sunday's show, as Wyatt called out both current champion Seth Rollins as
well as number one contender Braun Strowman.
Wyatt is no stranger to having colourful characters by his side, and one of the most popular
is the devill Vince McMahon puppet.
On the latest episode of the Fun house, the puppet made his presence known, in a very meta
moment indeed, as the Puppet's love of money reflected the Mr McMahon character well,
but also hinted at the incredible real merchandise sales that Wyatt has had since returning earlier this year.
During the show, Wyatt compared his friendship with his team in the Fun House to the fractured alliance
between Rollins and Strowman, as it's clear that the Eater of Worlds
is looking to hold championship gold, very soon.
Back to SmackDown Live now and the King of the Ring tournament continued
in a major way with two quarter finals matches.
First off, Elias was able to walk away with a big win over Ali, to qualify for the Semi finals,
meaning the former 24/7 Champion is just two victories away from being declared King.
Although Ali dominated much of the match, an injury to his leg proved to be his undoing
something Elias was quick to capitalise on to get the win.
Later on in the night, Chad Gable was able to get a win over dark horse Andrade, to also qualify for the
semi finals, and the Olympian and Elias will face each other next week in Madison Square Garden, to
represent SmackDown Live in the finals at Clash of Champions.
Whoever wins next week's match will certainly have a tall order ahead of them though, as this week's
edition of RAW saw three Superstars from the red brand qualify for the next round.
After Baron Corbin was able to get through with a win over Cedric Alexander, Samoa Joe and Ricochet's
quarter finals match ended in a double pinfall, which Corbin was more than happy with
as he thought it meant a bye straight to the finals.
The smug grin was quickly wiped from the Constable's face though, as referee John Cone
who has had his issues with Corbin this year, announced that both Joe and Ricochet
will be qualifying to the next round.
This means that Corbin, Ricochet and Joe will face off in a triple threat match on next week's edition of
RAW, with the winner of that facing the winner of Elias Vs. Gable at Clash of Champions in a match
that willd determine once and for all, the 2019 King of the Ring.
And finally we're back on Smack Down Live, and the fans in the Norfolk Scope Arena
didn't really know what to do with Bayley.
On RAW this week, the SmackDown Women's Champion shockingly turned heel for the first time in her
WWE career, aligning herself with her former tag team partner Sasha Banks, and delivering a series of
wicked chair shots to RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch.
Despite this, Bayley entered the arena for the blue show as her usual lovable self
and fans couldn't help but cheer her.
When Bayley grabbed the mic and began to speak though, things got a bit murkier
as she was confused by the mixed reaction from the fans.
Saying that she attacked The Man on RAW because of her friendship to the Boss, Bayley even
mentioned the countless children in the WWE Universe who look up to her,
as it seems the company, the fans and Bayley herself are unclear with what she is supposed to be.
Before the Hugger could trip up on her logic anymore though, she was thankfully interrupted by
Charlotte Flair, whom she will face next Sunday at Clash of Champions
with the SmackDown Women's Championship on the line.
The Queen made it clear that all she cares about is becoming a ten time Women's Champion
and this back and forth between the two led to an appearance by Banks herself.
With both Bayley and the Boss in the ring, Flair never stood a chance,
as the two decimated the Queen with another series of chair shots.
Though WWE haven't made it clear what the plans are for Bayley, it's clear that she and Banks are no
friends of Flair, and with both members of the Boss 'n Hug Connection scheduled
for huge title match at Clash of Champions, it'll be interesting to see just how things go from here.
