Here's your wrestling news for September 2nd, 2022.
And we're kicking off today with w Morrisey who made his return
to AEW this week and teased an Alliance with Stokely Hathaway.
Morrisey certainly looked impressive as he decimated all four
members of the wing men and will be seeing much more of him.
Fight has learned that Morris see is scheduled to be on next.
Week's AEW dynamite adding fuel to the speculation that he's
signed an exclusive deal with Tony Khan after being released
from WWE in 2018, Morrisey had some difficult years, but
eventually reinvented himself as part of impact wrestling.
The report adds that when he left impact, the company had
been aware for some time that he wanted out, but were unsure
if he'd be going to AEW or back to WWE, it should be known
that Morrisey is a native of Queens, New York, and his
reappearance in AEW comes only weeks before the promotion is
set to return to Queens for their second grand slam special.
WWE were interested in Morrisy AKA big cast after
he made his AEW debut back in may, but the seven
footer is sticking with AEW for the long term.
Over the past month, WWE has been bringing back released
superstars with carrying cross Johnny Gargano and hit row.
Just some of the names to return.
It's been reported that WWE is nowhere near finished,
bringing back stars released over the past year.
And fans won't have to wait long for the next come.
PW insider is reporting that bro Stroman has
returned to WWE is happening and that he is slated
to appear on next week's raw in Kansas city.
Stroman was released from WWE last year, which came as a
shock to fans given how well he had been pushed in the years
prior to being cut the monster among men's last match in
WWE was a world championship match at WrestleMania backlash
2021, but that didn't stop Vince McMahon from cutting.
With the ex chairman now gone triple
H is running a lot behind the scenes.
And it's reported that the game reached out to bran three weeks
ago, a deal was struck between the two, but on the condition
that Stroman received much better booking storyline wise than
the last time he was in WWE for years, Stroman received, stop
start pushes with many believing that he should have won the
universal title years before he eventually did at WrestleMania 36.
It's also noted that money was not a concern for Stroman as
his first run in WWE proved to be very lucrative for him,
but his booking meant a lot while triple H has the final say
on all creative plans as WWE's head of creative, the report
adds that the king of Kings will personally oversee all of
bronze, upcoming storylines to make sure things go right.
In is time away from WWE.
Stroman has been working for control your narrative.
We're about to lose arguably their biggest SAR.
And we'll have to see how the former universal champion
fits in with this new era of WWE more from AEW.
Now, as the company has a TV 14 rating making their
content more adult than WWE's PG rated shows, but
that doesn't mean the wrestlers can do whatever they.
Recently, it was reported that Warner brothers discovery
had instructed AEW to tone down their language.
And while no rule was officially put in place, that's something,
the company will be doing PW, insider reports that AEW has sent
an email to all their performers ahead of all out in which they
discouraged the talent from using profanity on live television.
During this week's dynamite, a steel let the
F-word slip out on national TV without a sensor.
And in the email, AEW made it clear that they don't want to
see incidents like this happen again in the report, PW insider
described this as having a ripple effect and steel immediately took
responsibility for the error steel reportedly agreed to a fine that he
paid to AEW who have planned for the money to be donated to charity.
In the email sent yesterday, AEW pointed out how steel handled
the mistake and how it was an example of how to deal with errors
and accept responsibility for them when they accidentally occur.
This isn't the first time there's been an issue like this
as when MJF cut his scathing pipe bomb in June, it was not
well received by several top executives from the network.
At a time when WWE is pushing the envelope with their content and
language toning down, their language may not be what AEW wants to
do, but it looks like they don't have much of a choice in the matter.
During last week's dynamite, cm, punk, and John
Moxley met to unify the two, AEW world championships.
No fans didn't predict how the match would go.
Not only did punk, the heavy, favorite loses title
democracy, but the Chicago made wrestler was squashed in
mere minutes by the now undisputed AEW world champion.
The decision to have the unification match on
free TV and be so one-sided has split fans.
And while speaking during AEW's, all out
conference call can explain the booking.
As Sean Ross, SAP reports, Tony Khan believes that they built
more interest and intrigued with the punk versus Moxley TV match.
It created a week of people loudly wondering what
was going on, and it was a rating success for.
Despite being squashed in just three minutes last
week, cm punk is the favorite to win against Moxley
and become AEW world champion once again this Sunday.
So we'll have to see if he can get the job done.
After last week.
Squash back to WWE is clash at the castle is now just over
a day away and has a stacked card for the fans in Cardiff.
Roman rains will look to keep his incredible
reign as undisputed WWE universal champion going,
but the tribal chief will be going at it alone.
Zero news reports that Jimmy and Jay USO have not made the trip to
the UK for clash at the castle, citing it as due to visa issues.
It's no secret that both USOs have had run-ins with the law.
And when WWE recently headed to Canada, it was
reported that Jimmy USO was banned from entering the
great white north because of his pending DUI case.
It was also noted that Paul Haman won't
be appearing at clash at the castle.
And that was seemingly confirmed with a post from
the special council who said that rains will prove
he is the greatest this weekend all by himself.
Zero news is also reporting that carry in cross.
And presumably Scarlet will not be appearing at clash at the castle.
So tomorrow night's made event will truly be a one-on-one affair.
Despite the USO's cross Haman and Scarlet not being there.
Clash at the castle will be a huge event.
The biggest event in the UK by the company since
summer slam 1992, tens of thousands of fans
will fill principality stadium in Cardiff Wales.
And there will be an extra special
guest sitting in the very front row.
We exclusively reported first, yesterday that boxing star Tyson
fury was scheduled to be a clash of the castle and in a video
uploaded to WWE's Twitter account fury himself confirmed the news.
The two time boxing world champion will be
at ringside for the show, which makes sense.
As other reports have stated that he has planned to
get involved at some point during the main event.
Whether he's costing, drew MacIntyre, the universal title
match or confronting MacIntyre post title win fury is
expected to get involved tomorrow night and he'll have
the best seat in the house at principality stadium.
When Samoa Joe joined ring of honor in AEW earlier this
year, it came mere months after his second release from WWE.
Joe officially made his AEW debut on dynamite where he was successful
in a qualifying match for the Owen heart foundation tournament.
For the last time he competed on AEW television was
at double or nothing pay view in may of this year.
According to a recent report from PW insider, Joe
has finished filming for the twisted metal series
and is expected to make a return to AEW very soon.
Some have reported that Tony Kahn is looking to bring Joe back
to TV as soon as possible to help add so much needed star power
to his roster, which has been set back by several injuries.
Whether that return comes as soon as all out
as some have predicted that remains to be seen.
But Joe is well on his way back to the squared circle.
Last month, it was reported that WW were considering bringing
solo OA to the main roster after just one year with NXT 2.0.
Just by not having any championships.
So far, SKO has impressed fans with his style and work rate.
And we have an update on the situation.
P insider's latest report says that not only has WWE confirmed
plans call up SKO, but it could happen as soon as this month.
If the report is accurate, SKO will join the SmackDown brand.
The same show that hosts his brothers,
the USOs and his cousin, Roman rains.
PW insider did not confirm that SKO will be joining the bloodline,
but he is certainly a perfect fit for the powerful group.
SKO has been absent from an XT 2.0 recently, as he's
been out with a sprained PCL that WWE announced during
the August 9th episode of the paint splattered brand.
However, with a recovery window of four to six weeks, SKO should be at
100% at some point this month, meaning plans for a September call up.
Can still go ahead.
This isn't the first time we've heard reports on WWE
wanting to fast track solo SKO, the main roster, but his
time on SmackDown may begin within a matter of weeks.
As of late, WWE has been bringing back several names who
were released by the company over the past year, but now one
surprising name is making a comeback after over a decade away.
PW insider has learned that for all of next week.
Former WWE superstar bull cannon will be working
at the performance center likely as a guest coach.
Fans of the attitude era will remember bull as the big boss
man's protege, who later became part of right to sensor
before becoming Johns as enforcer in 2002 and working under
the name be squared Bo's last appearance for WWE came back
in 2011 as a guest on a special edition of this is your life
all about Cena though, that didn't exactly go well for John
with bull claiming the 16 time world champion ruined his life.
Having worked under various gimmicks over his years in wrestling
bull certainly has a unique perspective on the wrestling world.
And those in the performance center will have
a chance to learn from the veteran next week.
Ever since Vince McMohan retired, WWE has undergone
several changes, not just to the roster, but also to
the long established rules from the former chairman.
One golden rule McMohan had was to not mention wrestling, believing
it was too old school, but that rule is truly out the window.
In a tweet, which came as a response to the Washington
post tweeting out the word news, WWE's official
account, simply tweeted out the word wrestling.
Unsurprisingly.
This was met with delight from the fans who were againstMcMohans.
Don't say wrestling rule, which was reported
in August to be over several other accounts.
Also had short tweets explaining what they are
with the hill, tweeting politics, CNN tweeting,
breaking news, and Bloomberg tweeting business.
While words like wrestling and hospital were banned
for decades in WWE, that is no longer the case.
And it's clear that fans are loving this
new WWE and they're much more relaxed rules.
And we're ending today with raw as a segment this week
between Seth Rawlins and riddle had the whole world talking
after the interview was concluded in the show into a
commercial break Rawlins, realizing that his mic was still
on, took a shot at riddle about his ex-wife and children.
Riddle fired back with several F bombs and stormed
off in search of Rollins in what Jimmy Smith
called in homage to the world of MMA on Sirius XM.
The raw commentator explained how, what happened was similar
to an incident with John Jones and Daniel Cormier, where
Jones was caught on a hot mic, threatening Cormier, riddle and
Rollins have become one of the most intense foods this year.
And after what happened on raw, don't expect either
man to hold back tomorrow at clash at the castle.
