Here's your wrestling news for September 12th, 2022.
And we're kicking off today with the young bucks as last week.
It was reported that the former AEW world tag team champion
sent out feelers, not too long ago to see if WWE has
any interest on them, given that the bucks are founding
members of AEW the idea of them leaving for WWE is big.
And now we have an update about what's.
In an update, the wrestling observers,
Ryan Frederick, who was the first to break.
The story said that the bucks never spoke to WWE management
themselves, but wanted to have a message passed on the
bucks, spoke to a friend and fellow wrestler who works in
WWE and told them that they'd be willing to hear offers from
WWE and wanted those running the company to know that as.
It's unclear who the buck spoke to as there's plenty of friends in
WWE, but it's reported that the Jackson brothers current deal with AEW
won't expire until 2024 after Cody Rhodes left AEW for WWE this year,
there's been talk about who could follow the American nightmare, and
we'll just have to wait and see what kind of offer WWE is willing to.
One name who probably won't be recommending WWE to
them is cm punk who suffered an injury during his
AEW all out world title match with John Moxley.
Earlier this month, punk suffered what has been described
as a muscle injury when hitting a dive onto Moxley.
And now we have an update on his condition.
Dave Meltzer for the wrestling observer has confirmed
that punk suffered a torn left triceps during the match.
And that is doctor recommended surgery
immediately to prevent muscle atrophy.
Punk has since under undergo surgery and Meltzer confirmed the reports
of the former world champion being out of action for anywhere from
between six to eight months, given punk's actions after all out.
There's no doubt that there's many in the company
who hope he's away for much longer than that.
With rumors that Tony con may have already fired him at
this time, we can't say for certain what punk status is with
AEW but we wish him a speedy recovery on his torn tricep.
Punk's title win and his injury have been overshadowed by
what happened after all out and the explosive comments he
made during the post show media scrum throughout his comments,
punk kept himself fed with a muffin, and now the store that
sold him, the baked good has become a bit of a celebrity.
Thanks to Sam punk.
Mindy's bakery in Chicago has been flooded with reviews
from fans with one review saying that if a grumpy bitter in
narcissistic old man likes their treats, then the shop must be.
Another review said that Mindy's was the best in the world.
According to punk who was called the worst MMA fighter of all
time, others poked fun at the post, all out fight with one
comment saying they'd punched someone in the face for a muffin.
What happened after all out has led to titles
being stripped multiple suspensions and Tony Kahn.
Having to decide whether to fire cm, punk, but it could
lead to a serious uptake in business for one Chicago bakery.
Throughout his career Dolph Ziggler has competed in plenty
of matches and has had no shortage of stipulations involved.
Ziggler has competed inside the elimination chamber, won the money
in the bank, ladder match and even beat John Cena in a TLC match.
But now he's got the idea for his own unique match up speaking
to the casual conversations with the classic Dolph, discussed his
plans for the future and had a new match type and opponent in mind.
You know what I'd like to do.
I'd like to do an hour with Shinsuke Nakamura, and have it tie
into his MMA and striking background and my wrestling background.
So we kind of give it an MMA style, feel to it with a build
Ziggler went on to say that Japan's strong style is an
exactly MMA, but it's his closest pro wrestling will get.
And he praises Naam Mo saying that the former
NXT champion does some of the coolest stuff.
WWE has flirted with the idea of using MMA in the past,
but an MMA style Ironman match has never happened before.
And that's something Dolph Ziggler would
love to change over the past month and a half.
WWE has brought back several former superstars with
carrying cross Dexter Loomis and others making returns.
It was reported last month that tenal Dashwood AKA
Emma is no longer with impact wrestling and speculation
quickly circulated about whether WWE is in her future.
One person who knows Dashwood well is her boyfriend madcap Moss.
And during a busted open radio appearance, the Andre,
the giant paddle Royal winner discussed the Australian.
I may be accused of being a bit biased as we are dating,
but I would love to see TL dashboard back in WWE.
She has a lot to offer, and I think she was one of the
originals that helped put the women's division on the map.
So far, most of the returns have been names who made
an impact in NXT while under triple H and dashboard
certainly did just that during her years in WWE.
Dash would never held gold during her first
run in WWE but that could change one day.
If the king of Kings decides to give her a call, one name who has
returned to WWE is Johnny Gargano who made his return last month
in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, while Gargano's return was epic.
And the Canadian fans were pleased to see him is comeback
came two weeks after raw was in his native Cleveland.
After the bell Gargano was questioned as to why his
return didn't happen in his hometown and said he
didn't return as everyone expected it to happen.
Gargano added that while he had fun, having a
secret about his return, it proved to be difficult.
Given how much information is leaked online and
didn't want fans to know or expect him to return.
The former NXT champion, would've probably gotten an even bigger pop
had he returned in his hometown, but he wanted fans to be surprised.
And that was certainly the case when he did come back two weeks later
in Toronto earlier this year after months, upon months of vignettes
Vema Honda debuted on raw and was a dominant force on the red brand.
Recently though fans have seen much less severe with his
most recent match being on the August 15th raw, where
he defeated an enhancement talent with his match before
that being in a June 26th battle Royal, which he lost.
Now we have an update on his status as according to fight
full WWE has no imminent plans to use the Indian powerhouse.
There had been a segment with interviewer, Sarah
Schreiber during the July 18th draw, which teased
that something was about to happen for veer.
But obviously that didn't go anywhere.
We'll have to see whether there are plans
down the line for veer to be used on TV again.
But while several superstars are feeling the positive
effect of triple eights running creative veer,
Mahan has been all but forgotten about veer Mahan.
Isn't doing too well in this new era of WWE well,
one name fans can expect to see more of is Reggie.
A former 24/7 champion, neither Reggie, nor
that title have been on WWE TV, much as of late.
But that changed recently, thanks to triple H spiteful selectors
learned that last week's WWE main event match against Shelton.
Benjamin was not supposed to happen, but that triple H
stepped in at the last minute and insured Reggie had a match.
The original plan was for Benjamin interfaces, former tag
partner, Cedric Alexander, but last week's match was Reggie's
first time in the ring since facing a cure at Teza on July 18th.
It was said that Vince McMan was a big fan of Reggie back
when he was running WWE as evidenced by the former CIR Dulay
star, having the longest reign as 24/7 champion at 112 days.
We'll have to see what the future holds for Reggie,
but it's certainly interesting that WWE's head of
creative wanted to make sure he had a match last week.
And we're ending today with some fashion news.
As last weekend, we reported on Sasha banks in Naomi who
recently shrouded their stuff as part of New York fashion week.
The former WWE women's tag team champions who are expected
to return to WWE TV soon, certainly look sensational in New
York, but they're not the only wrestlers to walk the runway.
At a celebrity fashion show last night, several wrestlers walked
to walk in Pittsburgh, including names from both WWE and AEW
Sean Spears and mark Sterling were all out hand to represent
AEW while bronze Stroman walked the runway on behalf of WWE
and the event also featured former 24/7 champion Mojo Rawley.
It's rare to see WWE and AEW up in any capacity, but by the
looks of it, all the wrestlers had fun last night in Pittsburgh.
