Here's your wrestling news for September 28th, 2022,
and we're kicking off with NXT as Bron Breaker may not
be using this Steiner name, but everyone knows about
his heritage and who his famous father and uncle are.
This week, the reigning NXT champion gave another nod to his
uncle Scott Steiner busting out Freak Zillows most infamous pro.
Speaking to JD McDonough and I dragon off Bron.
Said how his opponents have a 33 and a third percent chance of
winning a reference to Scott's math promo from TNA Wrestling.
The promo in Question Saw Steiner use some unique calculations to
explain why he was going to win a triple threat match at Sacrifice
2008 against Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe, which Joe would ultimately.
Bron Breaker may not be using the Steiner name,
but is using the Steiner move set using holds
and throws associated with his dad and uncle.
During a recent table for three, Scott
Steiner had some words about Bron moves.
Jokingly giving a warning to his nephew,
You owe me money every time you use my shit.
In NXT Bran has used both the Franken Steiner and
the Steiner recliner, but he may be having to pay
a fee per move if his hall of fame uncle gets his.
More from nxt as this week's show was actually taped last week, and
at the time it was reported that Tony DeAngelo had suffered an injury.
There had been speculation as to whether WWE would air the
injury or even his match, but that's exactly what happened.
DeAngelo squared off against Wesley in singles action during the show
with chanting stacks Lorenzo being sent to the back by the referee.
At one point during the match, DeAngelo rushed to
attack Wesley, but tripped and landed head first.
On the second turn, buckle and ringside
attendance immediately checked on him.
The decision was made that the Don of NXT could no longer compete,
but WWE has not provided a clear update on him at this time.
Hopefully, DeAngelo won't miss much time in the ring,
as he's proven to be a highlight of NXT since the
relaunch last year, and we wish him a speedy recovery.
At AEW All Out CM Punk captured his second AEW World
Championship, but his reign ended shortly after.
Thanks to his own actions.
Not only has Punk been stripped of the title due to his words and
actions after All out, but he's also been suspended from the company,
but recently reemerged online in the photo punk could be seen set with
someone and is wearing a sturdy looking arm brace due to his injury.
Punk injured his arm during all out with reports that he will
need six to eight months off, which made the decision to strip
him of the World Championship all the more easier for Tony Khan.
Whether punk even returns to AEW after he's healed is
hard to say as he's being seen as the instigator of
the all out fight, but until a decision is reached,
punk will have to keep looking in from the outside.
In March, Tony Con announced that he had bought Ring of Honor making
this the second promotion in Con's, growing influence on the business.
RO has had two shows so far, Super Card of Honor
and Death before Dishonor, but despite a lot
of teases has yet to secure a TV right deal.
During wrestling Observer Live, Brian Alvarez reported
on RO and said that Con only bought the company
to stop the competition from getting there first.
Tony Khan didn't have plans for Ring of Honor.
WWE wanted it, and I'm sure that other people wanted it.
He didn't have time to draw up business plans,
so the opportunity arose and he bought it.
Tony Khan may not have been 100% on board with the roh
purchase, but he has the company now and will continue to
try and get a lucrative TV deal for the veteran promotion.
Over the past few months, plenty has changed in WWE
with several release superstars being brought back,
and the NXT UK brand being shelved for NXT Europe.
Now more changes are expected to take place soon.
This time, involving the titles Fan C on tv.
According to a new report from Spiteful, WWE has three completely
finished sets of titles that are in line for a potential debut.
The trusted championship news source belt fan, Dan has reported
that the new titles include new WWE tag titles, which will feature
a black strap, dual plates, and a big WWE logo in the center.
There are also old never used tag title designs,
which look like the current WWE women's tag team
titles, but on different colored leather straps.
When Fel spoke to the superstars themselves about titles, they
spoke about the recent change of using Velcro instead of snaps.
And while they admitted that the Velcro
is convenient, it also looks bad.
Cosmetically new titles aren't the only plans in store,
though as the report adds, the Triple H is planning on some
cosmetic changes across raw smack SmackDown and nxt, with
the first being the recent change in logo for the gold brand.
It's also said that WWE did have plans for changes in the works,
but that Vince McMahon's Retirement and also Triple Hs Rise
to Power has accelerated those changes, including new titles.
Details are scarce about which titles other than the WWE Tag Team.
Gold are set to change, but fans could be tuning
into a very different looking ww e very soon.
Earlier this month, WWE announced that NXT 2.0 will now be NXT again
of change that delighted fans who much preferred the gold brand.
NXT 2.0 was the result of major changes being made, the
vast majority of which proved to be unpopular, but the
name change may not be a sign of bigger things to come.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Melzer explained that while
the NXT 2.0 branding is finished, the concept of NXT 2.0
to focus on younger, newer talent is very much still there.
They're going back to the old colors, but the same
philosophy in the sense of mostly younger guys
coming in and younger women coming in and everything.
When NXT first relaunched in 2012, the plan was for the
brand to be a developmental ground for talent, but it
quickly became a third brand seen as equal to Ron SmackDown.
Now, NXT is a developmental show once again as the
goals of NXT 2.0 live on, even if the name doesn't.
Now, Dave Meltzer has been a part of wrestling for
decades now, and there's no journalist, more famous
or rather infamous, associated with the industry.
Despite Meltzer legacy, WWE has very rarely ever made a mention
of him, but he did get a shout out during this week's at xt.
In a Preta segment, Andre Chase hyped up his North American
Championship qualifier against Von Wagner with a press conference
and a journalist called Dave asked how confident he was given.
He's never beaten wag.
Chase replied with an explosive rant
saying that's not a five star question.
A reference to Meltzer pioneering the five star rating
for wrestling matches that he uses to this day, it
was certainly an interesting moment and a rare time.
WWE has made reference to Meltzer on TV, and we'll have to see if
Chase gives a five star performance when he takes on Von Wagner.
As of late, there's been a lot of talk about AEW's
roster and the various names who could be leaving.
Yesterday it was reported that Tony Khan will not be
granting releases for the time being and that Malachi
Black and Buddy Matthews will be staying with the company.
After all, Blackhead previously requested his release and on
Twitter fans reacted to the new rule by the AEW President.
Some called out K for using the same practices that Vince
McMan used, saying that AEW is sounding like a prison,
and others said that there'd be more outrage if WWE
were reported to be blocking those, wanting to leave.
Others saw it differently saying it's fair
for Khan to not grant releases as talent.
Signed a contract for a fixed number
of years and that should be respected.
However you feel it appears nobody is leaving AEW as.
The last thing Tony Khan needs right now is people leaving for wwe.
On tonight's AEW Dynamite New Japan's Juice, Robinson will face John
Moxley in a title eliminator, meaning that if he can get a win over
the AEW World Champion, then Robinson will earn a future title match.
When a fan questioned why AEW is bringing Robinson in
and why he's even getting close to the AEW World Title
picture, Tony Khan defended his decision with a tweet.
Because Mox told me it's one of his favorite things about a W.
We've seen the Champs go out and put up her shut up versus
deserving wrestlers from all over the planet, giving
them a chance to earn a title shot if they can beat the
champion, which Juice has done twice in NJ P w already.
Robinson already has a victory over Moxley this year, having
beaten the AEW World Champion as part of a Fatal four way
at May's New Japan Capital Collision and making him the
only wrestler other than CM Punk to have a win over Moxley.
This.
Whether Robinson can repeat this, only time will tell.
But a win tonight would do huge things for his career and
guarantee Robinson a chance at the title on last week,
SmackDown Carrying Cross once again, got the better of
Drew MacIntyre, thanks to an assist from his wife, Scarlet.
Scarlet shot a fireball at MacIntyre, which accidentally
went over his head and now we know more of the original plan.
During the latest wrestling observer radio, Dave Meltzer
said how the segment was largely impromptu because the
fireball missed and didn't hit Drew in the face is planned.
There had been concern over the segment as Scarlet
was using what's called a fire gun, which WWE
doesn't usually go forward with spots like these.
And when the Fireball missed, Drew paused
for a second before attacking cross.
MacIntyre and Scarlet somehow communicated that
she was to instead hit him with a low blow.
But what fans saw was absolutely not the plan.
Not only did Drew have to think on his feet, but he also did
the entire segment while battling serious food poisoning.
And we can only hope things stick to the plan on
the road to their strap match at Extreme Rules.
Next week, WWE will have its seasoned premier of SmackDown and
the company is going all out by bringing in the tribal chief.
Despite his schedule being much lighter these days, Roman
Rains will be on the show and we're sure he'll have some
choice words for the WWE roster, especially Logan Paul.
Next Friday night.
During last week's AEW Rampage, the great MOA came
to the aid of his old rival sting, helping him and
Darby Allen defeat the house of black stinging Moha.
Hugged in the ring afterwards, but now the para set to work
another show together as part of the Japanese legends retirement.
Pro Wrestling.
Noah has confirmed that Sting will team with MOA on January
22nd next year and what will be the pin bit stop on the
Ladders retirement tour and it'll be interesting to see which
two wrestlers step in to take on this tag Team of legends.
And we're ending today with the White Rabbit WWE'S latest
mystery, which many fans will mark the return of Bra Wyatt.
Wyatt hasn't competed since WrestleMania 37, where
Alexa Bliss cost him a match against Randy Orton, and
now Bliss may have a role in this white rabbit saga.
During a previous episode of Raw Bailey and Bliss, were in a match
when the lights of the arena flickered and displayed red lights.
Similar to the white rabbit teases seen at
live events and during commercial breaks.
In a promo.
Bliss also used the phrase 10 feet Tall, which is also
used in the White Rabbit song by Jefferson airplane,
which has been used throughout these bizarre instances.
Bliss has seemingly denied any involvement with the angle tweeting
that she literally has no idea what people are talking about,
or the former women's champion maybe protesting a little too
much and hiding her real involvement in WWE'S latest mystery.
