Here's more wrestling news for October 19th, 2022, and we're starting
off with AEW as MJF and William Regal met during last night's
title Tuesday edition of Dynamite for an intense promo battle.
Regal went in expecting a fight, bringing his brass
knuckles with him, but MJF insisted he was there to talk
and brought up his own time doing extra's work in wwe.
Several people, including Pat Buck, Arn Anderson and WWE's Adam
Pearce were name dropped as mjf made it clear that he wasn't just
fighting for a contract but fighting for his professional life.
Mjf went even further saying that Regal promised him
a WWE job, but later backed down and was on the verge
of tears when accusing regal of mocking his mother,
claiming the British legend had sneaked his way into AEW.
The salt of the Earth held nothing back, but neither did Regel.
In his retort, Regal called out MJF saying he has
talent, but a long way to go and chided the casino
chip holder for his attack on Tony Shivani last month.
In the end, the pair did not come to blows, but Regal did
leave Friedman speechless, which is a victory in itself.
Fans were quick to respond on social media with many calling the
segment, a promo of the year contender, and said that the genuine
emotions on display are what professional wrestling is all.
Whether this promo leads to MJF becoming AEW world champion at full
gear, that remains to be seen, but it is another impressive segment
by the young wrestler who has once again, had everyone talking.
Both men showed off excellent promo skills, but what
did you think of the segment sound off in the comments?
When Carl Anderson returned to WWE last week, there were
questions about his status with New Japan as he is the promotions.
Reigning never open weight champion.
It was reported not long after that.
Anderson will still appear at the New
Japan Battle Autumn event on November 5th.
In a very rare non WWE appearance by a superstar during last night's
nxt, WWE continued to take a step through the Forbidden Door.
As during his entrance, Vic Joseph noted
that Anderson is still a champion in Japan.
Sure.
Joseph didn't name what title he holds or who he is
a champion for, but the fact that WWE are willing
to address life outside their company is huge.
Anderson was on last night's NXT alongside Luke Gallows
as the duo teamed with Cameron Grimes to face the schism.
Right now, Anderson is scheduled to pull double duty on November 5th
as he is also set to compete at Crown jewel in Riyad Saudi Arabia.
And time will tell if he will be able to pull off both matches.
Speaking of returning superstars, fans are eager
to see Becky Lynch back in the ring as a shoulder
injury suffered At summer Slam has kept her away.
Last month it was reported that Lynch would be returning
to the ring in September, but that of course didn't happen.
And now we have an update about the man, Sean Ross's Sapp
of Fightful reports that despite the previous reports, WWE
never had Lynch scheduled for a September return and that
we are still months away from the former women's champion
being back on TV while Lynch won't be appearing soon.
Sources within WWE did say that they are hopeful
she will be back before the end of this year,
but that no official timeline has been given.
WWE's reported plans for WrestleMania 39 is for Lynch to
finally face Rhonda Rousey one-on-one, A match that has
been years in the making, but that all hinges on big time.
Becks being healed in time.
Lynch has been out of action for months
now due to the separated shoulder.
She suffered at Summer Slam, and while nothing
is guaranteed as to when she'll be back, there is
some good news for the former raw women's champion.
Appearing at the Advertising Week event in New York City.
Lynch was in the big apple without her arm brace the first time.
We've seen her without it since the summer slam injury.
From all appearances, Lynch is healing well and it's a good sign
that she can still make appearances for WWE despite her injury.
Fortunately, Lynch was able to avoid undergoing surgery for
her shoulder, which would've pushed her return to sometime
next year, and we are wishing the man a speedy recovery.
Last Sunday deadline reported that the G4 TV gaming network
was closing down, and for many involved, they only found out
through social media as a huge gamer and a WWE superstar.
Xavier Woods was one of the focal points of G4 TV's content,
and he too wasn't informed ahead of time about the cancellation.
During a Twitch stream hosted by the Completionist Woods explained
that he had logged into the wifi during a flight, and as soon as he
was connected, he was bombarded with messages about what had happened.
Wood said how he had three hours to just sit and stew on the bad news
and later questioned why those at Comcast, who made the decision,
didn't tell him what was coming before they closed G4 TV down.
The WWE superstar concluded by saying that those who are out of a
job should treat it like being released from wwe, and used this as
an opportunity to show why those at Comcast made a mistake and we're
sure that Woods' days of playing games for content are far from.
On last week, SmackDown, Omos and MVP made an appearance on the
blue brand and the Nigerian giant stared down Bronze Stroman.
It's been reported that a match at Crown Jewel between them is in
the works, but we now have news regarding Omos's roster status.
PW Insider reports that despite appearing on SmackDown,
Omos is not exclusively a member of the Blue brand.
Remaining a part of the raw roster for the time being.
With that said, the former Raw Tag team champion is
expected to make appearances on both Raw and SmackDown
in the buildup to the Saudi show on November 5th.
Raw is the only brand Omos has officially been on where he's fueded
with his former teammate AJ Styles, as well as Bobby Lashley.
But fans will see more of the seven footer
on both brands for the next couple of weeks.
It was during AEW's first dynamite in Canada that Renee Paquette
made her debut something that fans have been hoping to see since
her departure from WWE in 2020, not just a talented broadcaster.
Paquette is also the wife of John Moxley, though as she
made clear on her podcast the sessions Renee's hiring
was down to her talents and not who she's married to.
In an interview with Cincy 360, Moxley shared
his excitement about Paquette's arrival in AEW
and was confident she'd do well on her first.
I knew she was going to get a giant pop from the crowd.
That was really cool.
But she's been around the whole time, basically, and she
knows people at AEW and she's been backstage in everything.
Moxley joked that Paquette was such a regular backstage
that people were surprised that she didn't work there,
and said that signing with Khan felt like a formality.
WWE did make an effort to resign Paquette as part of recent commentary
and interviewer changes, but Paquette turned them down in favor of
AEW A decision that has worked out well for the Canadian broadcaster.
For decades, Kevin Nash put opponents away with his jack-knife
power bomb laying out stars, including the undertaker,
Chris Jericho, and even the seven Foot Paul White Nash may
be the master of the jack-knife, but he doesn't have as
much luck with real knives according to the man himself.
In 2004, Nash appeared as the Russian in Marvels
the Punisher film, and had an intense fight scene
with the Punisher himself played by Thomas Jane.
Speaking on the Rich Eisen Show.
Nash explained that for part of the fight, Jane was
supposed to stab him with a prop knife, but that the stunt
coordinator forgot to change the real blade for a fake.
What followed was Nash getting a very
real knife plunged into his shoulder.
In what?
Big Daddy Cool.
Played down as a bad day shooting the movie.
Thankfully, Nash's injury was minor as he was able to continue
his wrestling career and acting career after shooting the movie.
But it goes to show that wrestling isn't
the only dangerous profession for Big Daddy.
Cool.
It was that Extreme Rules 2022 that Ronda Rousey captured the
SmackDown Women's Championship taking the title off of Liv Morgan.
Rather than tap out, Morgan passed out in a
submission by the former UFC fighter, but only
after smiling in the hold, before losing the title.
The image of Morgan grinning in the hold quickly
went viral on social media and during a vlog.
Rousey suggested that the former champion may be into.
Let's be honest, a lot of people would be smiling in that position.
It was kind of handy that there was a broken table
right there that I could grab and grind into her neck.
But yeah, apparently she's into that kind of thing.
Interestingly, Morgan herself has said that her feud
with Rousey has brought out her inner masochist, so
there may be some truth to the champion's claims.
As for what's next, it was rumored that Morgan
could be part of the rumored Bray Wyatts table.
But the former women's champion may very much enjoy another showdown
with Rhonda Rousey since announcing his purchase of Ring of Honor
during a March episode of AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan has put on two ROH
shows Supercard of Honor in April and death before Dishonor in July
while ROH stars and championships also appear on AEW programming.
ATV deal continues to elude Khan something the
company President is hoping to change very soon.
Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated Khanaddressed
a future TV deal and promised some great news in the near future.
Khan added that the current plan is for Ring of
Honor to have one more pay Perview in 2022, and
that a weekly show should begin airing in 2023.
Some have suggested that Khan making Chris Jericho, the roh World
Champion, is part of his plans to earn a TV deal as it was Jericho
who played a role in Dynamite getting their original deal with TNt.
Khan is believed to have paid between 20 to $40 million to
purchase Ring of Honor, and after investing a small fortune, the
AEW founder will need to score a deal sooner rather than later.
And we're ending today with Triple H, who recently tested
positive and didn't make this week's raw or last night's nxt.
The game has been self isolating since testing positive,
but things are good for the WWE's head of talent relations.
Fightful.
Select reports that Triple H is doing fine after testing positive,
but didn't specify if he will be back in time for this Friday.
Smack Down on Fox.
The report adds that road dog has been running the shows.
In his absence though, that much of raw had already been finalized
on Sunday evening before news broke of Triple H's positive result.
The game's positive test is bad for wwe, but the company
is moving forward and we are wishing him a full recovery.
