Good for them! Wrestlers lead a rather unique life and it can make it difficult to figure out how to make things work outside of the ring. There are only so many ways to have a normal life, which includes romantic relationships. One of the better ways to make it work is to find someone who is in the business as well, which now seems to be the case with four people.
Two new wrestling couples seem to have come together in WWE. First, former NXT United Kingdom Champion Walter and NXT wrestler Jinny appear to be dating, as per photos posted to Jinny’s Instagram stories. In addition, NXT backstage interviewer Samantha Irvin has posted a tweet showing her and Ricochet together, seemingly confirming that they are together as well. Ricochet had previously been in a relationship with NXT star Kacy Catanzaro.

I guess that’s really it. With so many things changing in the wrestling world as of late, it is easy to have trouble keeping track of all of them. Wrestlers are moving from one promotion to another all over the place and there is nothing to suggest that it will be slowing down anytime soon. That was the case again this weekend and now we know a bit more about everything.
The big surprise during AEW’s Full Gear event saw former Ring of Honor World Champion Jay Lethal make his debut for the company. Lethal’s arrival comes after Ring of Honor announced that they would be going on hiatus to begin the new year. According to PWInsider.com, Lethal received his Ring of Honor release several days ago and will not appear at Final Battle on December 11. During the post-Full Gear media scrum, Lethal revealed that his deal with AEW only came together a few days ago. Lethal only met with AEW face to face on Saturday.
Lethal is an awesome addition. Check out what he is bringing to AEW:

That’s always a possibility. Injuries can happen at anytime to any wrestler and that is never a good thing to see. Sometimes these things happen over time, but on occasion they are the sort of injury that happens all at once. Either way, they can lead to a wrestler being out of action for some time, which seems to be the case again after a pair of physical matches over the weekend.
According to PWInsider.com, both Malakai Black and Eddie Kingston were injured during this weekend’s AEW Full Gear pay per view. The two of them were pulled from The Big Event convention in New York City. There is no word on what kind of injuries they have suffered or how long either of them will be out of action. During the show, Black teamed with Andrade El Idolo against Cody Rhodes and Pac in a lowing effort, which CM Punk defeated Kingston.
These two are rather talented. Check out what they can do when they are healthy:

The champ is here. There are a lot of things that can change the wrestling landscape and a new World Champion is one of the most important. It can represent a new era for a wrestling promotion, especially if it has been a long time coming. That was the case this weekend, and we did not have to wait long to hear from the new champion, who was still rather emotional.
The main event of this weekend’s AEW Full Gear pay per view saw Hangman Page defeat Kenny Omega to become the new World Champion. Following his win, the Dark Order came to the ring to celebrate with him to end the show. After the pay per view went off the air, Page addressed the crowd. Here is what he had to say, with transcription courtesy of PWInsider.com:
“I told myself all day that if this was the outcome, I would cry like a little baby. I guess I lied to myself about that. That seems to be a thing with me. I lie to myself. When I joined the Bullet Club, I thought I’d never measure up. I thought I’d never belong and I ..

She needs a minute. There are so many wrestlers in the world today and thanks to modern technology, it has never been easier to keep track of someone. That can even be the case when they are not wrestling, which has opened up a new world of access. Unfortunately not everything that you see or hear from a wrestler is positive, and that seems to be the case again with a certain star.
NXT’s Sarray has sent out a tweet saying that she is back in Japan but will be back soon. This comes after Sarray lost a match to Kay Lee Ray on this week’s NXT, after which she said that she was lost and nothing she did went as planned. There is no word on why Sarray has gone back to Japan or when she will be back. Sarray has been in WWE since April, wrestling on NXT and 205 Live.
Sarray is lost.
Nothing I do is working as planned. Why can’t I win…#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/bdCtKjBEty

Sarray is back in Japan.
But don't worry I'll be back soon. Thank ..

That’s a good place to be. To say NXT has been shaken up in a huge way would be the understatement of the day. NXT is nowhere near what it used to be just a few months ago, but that opens up a lot of options for wrestlers. Above all else, there are several spots available for wrestlers to get a chance to break through and show what they can do. WWE even already has its eye on a few people.
Jon Alba is reporting that there are several people in NXT who are high on the team of Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams. The two worked a dark match during this week’s edition of SmackDown and were said to come off looking like stars. Hayes has had his supporters since his match with Adam Cole earlier this year and there is a possibility of him being called up to the main roster in the spring. Hayes is currently the NXT North American Champion.
In talking to some people in #WWE last night, there are high hopes for the combo of Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams. The two worked a dark match last night..

More of the big one? There are certain wrestlers whose presence alone turns them into a star. That is not the kind of thing you get to see every day and it can be pretty awesome when it is done right. There are only a handful of wrestlers like that today, and now thanks to a change in their life behind the scenes, you might be getting to see more of them again in the future.
According to PWInsider.com, NXT UK star Walter has recently changed his attitude about living in the United States. Over the last several years, WWE officials have attempted to get Walter to relocate to the United States but he has said no. It is not clear what has led to the change and there is nothing to suggest that Walter is coming to America full time at any point in the future. However, it now seems like a better possibility than ever before.
This is a big deal. Check out what Walter has done in NXT UK:

What could have been. There are a lot of stories that take place on a wrestling show at any point in a given year. Some of these are a lot better than others and several are remembered rather fondly. At the same time, some of them do not bring up the best memories for one reason or another. Then there are some which are discussed but are pulled without ever making it to television. Now we can see something that didn’t it to the WWE airwaves.
SmackDown star Mustafa Ali has released a vignette which he filmed but never made it to WWE TV. The vignette features Ali in a suit, talking about how there was a need for a new America, as people like him would never be trusted. Ali spoke about how there is nothing more American than looking like him and something needed to change. This would have been a followup to a promo Ali cut on the October 29 edition of SmackDown, where he said no one believed in him because of his name. Ali has said that this promo will not air due to reasons beyond his c..

There’s the big one. AEW has not been around very long but they have build up a nice reputation for their championships. The company takes care of its titles and as a result, a title change feels like it means something. Someone winning a championship is a big moment in the company and now that is the case again, with the biggest title that AEW has to offer.
Hangman Page won the AEW World Title in the main event of Full Gear on Saturday night, defeating Kenny Omega to end his record setting reign. This is the first World Title in Page’s career and his first singles title in AEW. Page was defeated by Chris Jericho in the match to crown the first ever AEW World Champion and is a former AEW Tag Team Champion with Omega as his partner.
Page has been a big deal in AEW. Check out some of his road to the title:

There’s your next one. The wrestling landscape has been changing almost weekly over the last year and that was certainly the case last month, as Ring of Honor announced that it was entering a hiatus following Final Battle in December. As a result, most of its roster was suddenly free to go elsewhere, and now we know where one of the biggest names will be headed.
During Saturday’s AEW Full Gear event, former Ring of Honor World Champion Jay Lethal made his debut, announcing that he was now All Elite. Lethal immediately challenged Sammy Guevara for the TNT Title and the match was made for next week’s edition of Dynamite. Lethal is a two time Ring of Honor World Champion and Television Champion and holds the record for most days as champion with both titles.
Lethal has quite the resume of his own. Check out some of the things he has accomplished in his career:

Full Gear 2021
Date: November 13, 2021
Location: Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Commentators: Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, Excalibur
It’s time for what is likely going to be one of the best AEW shows in history as the card is stacked. AEW has shown that they can put together an awesome card and then deliver on the potential. I’m looking forward to more than a few things on the show and that is a great feeling to have. Let’s get to it.
Buy-In: Thunder Rosa/Hikaru Shida vs. Nyla Rose/Jamie Hayter The four of them are matched up in the TBS Title tournament and Vickie Guerrero is here with Rose/Hayter. Rosa and Rose start things off with Rosa grabbing some rollups for two each. A basement dropkick has Rose staggered and it’s off to Shida for a running knee in the corner. It’s back to Rosa, who gets powered into the wrong corner though, meaning the stomping is on. Rosa manages to roll away and brings Shida back in to start striking away as Serena Deeb is watching from ringside.

It’s time to crown some new #1 contenders as we have a four way tag match to find the next challengers for the NXT Tag Team Titles. This show continues to follow the old NXT formula, which allows such a match to feel that important. That’s a heck of a trick and they’ve done it again here. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Nathan Frazer vs. Mark Andrews Andrews takes over on the arm to start and Frazer can’t quite spin out of it yet. Back up and Frazer flips forward to stay on his feet but Andrews armdrags him down. That’s countered into a headscissors, setting up Frazer’s armdrag, which is countered into a headscissors for a standoff. Frazer snaps off a dropkick into a snap suplex for two but Andrews is back up with a running dropkick in the corner.
They fight over a double arm crank until Andrews northern lights suplexes him for two. The Iron Octopus has Frazer i..
