He’s up next? Stables are one of those ideas that will always work in wrestling because fans are going to like the idea of several wrestlers coming together in a group. A new stable can offer a variety of new options, as the individual members can bring their individual stories together, or come into a group under one idea. It seems that a new group has already started growing fairly soon after its debut.
Last weekend, a new group debuted at Ring of Honor’s Final Battle event, consisting of EC3, Westin Blake (formerly known as Wesley Blake), Adam Scherr (formerly known as Braun Strowman) and an unnamed wrestler. Scherr has since posted an image to his Instagram, showing himself, EC3 and Killer Kross, standing in front of a graphic saying “CONTROL YOUR NARRATIVE”, which is EC3’s catchphrase. Kross’ no compete clause does not end until February 2022, but he has already begun accepting bookings.

Can’t say what? Wrestling has changed a lot in recent years, with all kinds of new wrestlers getting the chance to enter the wrestling business. A lot of that has come from various wrestling training schools popping up, some of which are more well put together than others. There are some rather famous wrestling schools out there, but one of the most famous is not being mentioned so often these days.
Viktor, formerly part of the Ascension in WWE, was a guest on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast. During his appearance, Viktor mentioned that he was not allowed to mention being trained in the Hart Family Dungeon when he arrived in FCW in 2011. It was not clear why Viktor was not allowed to reference the school, though he thought the Chris Benoit tragedy might have had a hand in the change. Viktor was not alone though, as William Regal was also told to not use the term. Natalya is still mentioned as the only woman to graduate from the Hart Family Dungeon.

Welcome to the AEW team. There have been all kinds of wrestlers moving around the wrestling world this year and that has made for some rather exciting moments. It has been fascinating to see where a lot of the wrestlers have gone and with Ring of Honor being shaken up in such a big way, other wrestlers are now available. One of them seems to be off the market though.
According to Bodyslam.net, former Ring of Honor star Brody King has signed a contract with All Elite Wrestling. This comes after a Malakai Black segment aired during this week’s edition of Dynamite and referenced a king. Black and King are currently the PWG Tag Team Champions, having won the titles on September 26. There is no word on when King could be making his debut.
This could be interesting. Check out the two apart and together:

It’s Winter Is Coming and this time there is a huge main event, as Hangman Page defends the World Title against Bryan Danielson. Other than that, we have the Dynamite Diamond match between MJF and Dante Martin, which seems primed for some interference. Odds are we’re getting some debuts tonight as well so let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
AEW World Title: Bryan Danielson vs. Hangman Page Danielson is challenging as we’re starting fast. Feeling out process to start with Page not being able to get very far, allowing Danielson to snap off some jumping jacks. Page’s wristlock is broken up with a bunch of flips and Page is frustrated in the corner. Back up and Bryan avoids some chops, allowing more corner jumping jacks. The grappling doesn’t work so well but Page gets in a boot to the chest and NOW Danielson gets more serious. Page isn’t stupid enough to take a h..

Stick around for a bit. The rise of AEW has changed the way the wrestling world works and in a good way. Above all else, for the first time in over twenty years, there is a viable second national promotion in the United States and that opens up a lot of doors. It allows wrestlers to have a new option, and now one big name seems to have used that leverage to his benefit.
According to Fightful Select, Kevin Owens has signed a new multi-year deal with WWE. This comes as Owens’ contract was set to expire in January, which had been alluded to on WWE TV. WWE reportedly made him an “excellent offer” to stay around and are said to be very happy that he is staying. Owens is currently scheduled to take part in the fatal four way for the WWE Title at Day One on January 1.
Owens has had quite the run with WWE. Check out some of his time in the company:

It’s time for your weekly reminder that WWE isn’t doing very well at the moment. The problems have been going on so long at the moment that it can be a little difficult to keep up interest, but every now and then you see something that draws you back in. Unfortunately that seems to be a waste of time more often than not, as WWE is going to manage to screw things up one way or another. This week, we’re taking a look at one such case, and how it might be getting even worse.
Back in June, Nikki Cross debuted a new character, which would eventually be dubbed Nikki Ash: Almost a Superhero. Ash would go on to win the Money in the Bank briefcase, cash it in on Charlotte, and win the Women’s Title in a nice moment. Then Charlotte won it back about a month later because Charlotte, so Ash went on to win the Women’s Tag Team Titles with Rhea Ripley and promptly did nothing with them, leading to losing the titles and a losing streak that has (at least as of when I’m writing this part) most recent..

Welcome back? There are various wrestling families who get your attention no matter what they are doing. That can make for some good and bad moments, as you almost don’t know what you re going to get from time to time. In this case, a pair of wrestling brothers are back again, though in this case it comes after an incident that was not the greatest sight to behold.
Last week, WWE officially released Jeff Hardy from his contract following an incident at a live event earlier in the month. Hardy was released after walking out on a match and refusing to go to rehab. Since his release, Hardy has appeared on his brother Matt’s YouTube channel in a pair of videos. In the first video, Matt discusses being the architect of the Hardy Boys team. Jeff appeared behind him, saying that he had been listening to Release Me by Wilson Phillips. In the second video, the Hardys promote some of Jeff’s upcoming concert dates. Jeff will be under a no compete clause in wrestling until March.

Do it again? Tag teams have a weird history in WWE as the company has not exactly treated them as a top priority. There have been times when the division feels completely worthless, but there have also been instances where the tag team scene is flourishing. Next year, we might be seeing one of those popular WWE teams making a comeback outside of the company.
Former WWE star Scotty 2 Hotty has posted a photo to Twitter, showing himself reuniting with Rikishi. The tweet said “Ready for 2022”, which could suggest a reunion between the two for next year. The team are former WWE Tag Tag Team Champions under the name Too Cool. AEW’s Cash Wheeler responded to the tweet, saying that FTR will roll up to Too Cool as well. Hotty was released from his WWE contract earlier this year as per his request.
So, this happened today! Ready for 2022.

Those are some nasty situations. There are a lot of ways to write someone out of action on a wrestling show and some of them are more effective than others. Perhaps the most effective is to have someone get injured, as not only does it get someone off of television, but it also puts heat on the person who did it. This week, that was the case in two different situations.
There were two wrestlers written off of NXT television this week due to injuries. First up, Cora Jade was attacked by Mandy Rose following Jade’s win over Dakota Kai. Rose re-injured Jade’s arm, resulting in undisclosed injuries. Also during the show, Harland made his in-ring debut and after the match, attacked various agents and referees. This included agent Brian Kendrick, who suffered a possible cervical fracture. There is no word on when either will return.
It was a brutal night. Check out how the violence went down:

That could slow her down. Every now and then you see a star catch fire and turn into one of the bigger stories on any given show. It works very well if a wrestler can capture the audience’s attention and see how far things can go. That is the case on Monday Night Raw, but now things might be slowed down a little bit due to a pretty badly timed injury to a rising star.
This week’s Monday Night Raw featured a showdown between Liv Morgan and Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch. Morgan had been cheated out of her title shot the previous week and wanted a rematch. Before accepting, Lynch attacked Morgan, including crushing her arm against the ring steps. During Raw Talk, Morgan was announced as having suffered a deep bone bruise and a strained radial collateral ligament in her left arm. She is still expected to challenge Lynch at Day One on January 1.
As revealed on #RAWTalk, @YaOnlyLivvOnce has a deep bone bruise and a strained radial collateral ligament in her left arm.#WWERaw pic.twitter…

He doesn’t seem to agree. The wrestling world has been changed in a lot of ways in recent years, with nothing shaking it up more than the rise of AEW. After so many years of WWE holding a monopoly over the entire industry, AEW has come along and become the other big player. A lot of that is due to AEW President Tony Khan, who has something to say about the way WWE presents its television.
Khan made an appearance on a recent edition of the Wrestling Perspective Podcast, where he spoke on the amount of rematches that took place in both AEW and other promotions. Khan mentioned that shows outside of AEW have “like 17 rematches with the same two people.” Since AEW’s debut, Khan has mentioned that his company does not like to present multiple rematches between the same wrestlers.
Khan does have a point in some cases. Check out some WWE rematches:

I guess that’s not happening. There have been all kinds of moves in the wrestling world over the last few years and some of the biggest have come from the long list of WWE releases. Some of these have been a lot more surprising than others, with many leading to the question of where this person goes next. That is the case with a pair of released wrestlers, but now we know where they will not be going.
During a recent video signing with K & S WrestleFest, Scarlett Bordeaux was asked if she and her fiance Karrion Kross would return to Impact Wrestling. Bordeaux flat out said “We’re not going back there. We are not going back there. No.” Bordeaux and Kross wrestled together in Impact Wrestling from 2018-2019 before heading to NXT. Both were released from WWE earlier this year.
Leave the memories alone. Check out the two of them in Impact Wrestling and NXT:
