Here's more wrestling news for September 24th, 2022.
And we're kicking off this afternoon with SmackDown
as there was a backstage segment on last night's
show between hit row and the street profits.
But it's what happened behind the superstars that
has had fans talking between B Fab and Monez Ford.
A QR code could be spotted.
And when scanned fans were taken to a white rabbit maze game,
Beating the game, the white rabbit travels through a door with
the final screen showing a series of coordinates, which leads
fans to the Rogers place arena in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the
arena will play host the next week's raw, where we will hopefully
get another tease as to who or what the white rabbit is while the
popular theory is that this is building to the return of bray Wyatt.
WWE.
Hasn't confirmed that yet, so we'll have to wait
and see what's in store during next week's raw.
This QR code was the latest tease of
the white rabbit to make it to WWE TV.
But it wasn't the only tease during last night's SmackDown.
During a commercial break, WWE played the
white rabbit song by Jefferson airplane.
And like before used ominous red lighting that made
fans think of Wyatt fans were quick to share footage
of this incident on social media, sharing their belief
that this is all building to the return of the feend.
Wyatts return would certainly be a big win for WWE
who are hoping to keep him away from AEW so we'll just
have to keep waiting on whoever the white rabbit is.
bray Wyatts onscreen returned to WWE may be a matter of
days away, but he'd just be the latest name to return
since triple H took over as head of talent relations.
Several former employees have returned, including
Dexter Loomis, Johnny Gargano and others.
And now a name from backstage is.
According to P w insider Gabe Sapolsky is
back with WWE and will be working on creative.
After being released in January.
This year, Sapolsky was one of several people released in January.
All of whom had either been hired by triple
H or had worked closely with him in NXT.
Before coming to WWE Sapolsky co-founded ring
of honor, and was the sole founder of evolve in
addition to working several other creative roles.
And he's bringing his decades of experience back to WWE in late
1997, Sean Michaels and hunter Hurst Helmsley began teaming together
on screen and would soon enlist the likes of China and ravishing.
Rick rude.
Before long degeneration, X was born and while China and
Rud are no longer with us, the group is set to reunite.
Soon.
It's been confirmed that on the October 10th episode of raw
DX will return to celebrate their 25th anniversary, but it
has not been confirmed who exactly will represent the group.
It's a safe bet that triple H and Sean Michaels will be on the show.
And we imagine road dog, who is rehired by WWE in
August, as well as expac will also be on the show.
DX like the NWO ushered in a new era of wrestling where heels
were so cool that fans often preferred them to the baby faces.
And the iconic group will write again next month, after AEW
all out cm, punk had some fiery comments for several members
of the AEW roster resulting in a backstage fight, breaking
up between punk and his trainer, ace steel against the elite.
Everyone has been suspended for their roles in the fight,
and there's now been an update on what exactly happened.
On wrestling, observer live, Brian Alvarez addressed
the conflicting reports about who really started
the fight and how cm punk's side are backing down.
There really aren't two sides of the story anymore.
There were two sides of the story for a while, but now pretty
much both sides agree that cm punk threw the first punch.
The punk side is backed off the kicking the door down thing.
It had been previously claimed that the bucks had kicked the door down
and that punk was merely defending himself and others in the room.
Now we know that isn't the case and the report from Alvarez also
noted how the bucks didn't go in there to fight, but went in with
their head of legal Megha Parekh and head of talent relations.
Christopher Daniels.
The big question now, though, is, were the bucks aggressive
when they entered the room and was punk in fear for his
safety or did he just start punching Alvarez joined the now
many names who believe that cm punk days at AEW are over
and we'll have to keep following to see what happens next.
All out also saw the return of MJF to, AEW programming as
the joker in the casino battle, Royal earning himself a
shot at the AEW world title, but that's not all he's earned.
MJF returned to TV came after a three month hiatus
following some explosive comments on the June 1st
dynamite, which played on some of MJF real issues with AEW.
One sore spot for the salts of the
earth is how he was being underpaid.
Especially considering the Ex WWE names who had done much less
than him in AEW this week, MJF told Ariel Hellani on the MMA hour,
that he has a new deal with AEW without a contract extension.
Now, the wrestling observer newsletter has provided
a figure on this new deal saying that MJF is
now earning over 1 million per year from AEW.
M JFS contract is still set to expire on January 1st, 2024.
And the salt of the earth has said that he
will go with whoever provides the best deal.
So WWE will now have to cough up over a million
dollars to even get a chance at winning him over.
At AEW dynamite grand slam.
Saraya made her debut for the promotion to a thundes
salvation from the fans at Arthur Ash stadium Soraya
hadn't wrestled for WWE in years as the company didn't
want to medically clear her due to her neck issues.
But that may still be the case in AEW despite several
fans already pitching matches for the former page
in AEW the wrestling observer newsletter notes.
How in a very recent evaluation of her
condition, Saraya is not clear to compete.
It was also pointed out that when she made her AEW
debut, nobody attacked her and she didn't attack anybody.
Another sign that she is not ready to get back in
the ring, Saraya will be getting in the ring in
October for her family promotions fright mayor event.
But that'll be as the guest referee for a match
between her brothers, Roy Knight and Zach Zodiac.
The former divas champion earned a huge ovation upon her debut.
But now the job is to follow up on that momentum.
A task that'll be easier said than done
if she's still not cleared to wrestle.
And we're ending today with some departure news.
As Bobby fish recently finished up with AEW after he and
the company couldn't come to terms over in new deal .Fish's
contract expired last month, less than a year after he signed
with AEW but it appears that he didn't want to go alone.
That's according to Ryan Fredericks of the wrestling
observer, who reported on the site's forum page that
fish spoke to Adam Cole and Kylo Riley and asked both
men to request their releases from the promotion.
fish has said to have wanted all three men to leave
together and planned to return to WWE believing
they would have a better chance on the main roster.
Now with triple H in charge of creative, both Cole, and
O'Reilly told fish that they wouldn't make the request.
And even if they had it's unlikely Tony Khan
would've planned on releasing either man.
Fish's plans for a WWE return have fallen through as he instead
debuted an impact wrestling's victory road event last night,
and had an In ring brawl with Mahabali Shera and raj sing.
Now, Bobby fish will have to go ahead on his
own as Cole and O'Reilly, despite both being out
with an injury are happy with their roles in AEW.
