It’s Up Next: AEW Revolution Main Event Set To Feature Major World Title Match

That can headline. We are less than a month away from the next AEW pay per view offering with Revolution. As the company does not present pay per views very often, AEW has to go out of its way to stack the card as much as possible. That is easier said than done in a lot of ways but the most important part of the card is a main event. Now AEW has a big one set for the upcoming show.

NXT
Date: February 7, 2023
Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Vic Joseph, Booker T.
We’re done with Vengeance Day and just shy of two months away from Stand & Deliver. It looks like we have a title match set up, as Carmelo Hayes stared down Bron Breakker, who retained the NXT Title in the main event. That should give us a clear path to Los Angeles so let’s get to it.
We open with the recap of Vengeance Day.
Here are Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes to open things up. Williams talks about how Hayes turned seer Apollo Crews into Stevie Wonder before Hayes brags about his win too. Hayes knows his destiny and there is one man waiting for him. Cue JD McDonagh to cut him off and say Hayes is entitled. While Hayes wants a private room at the club, McDonagh sends people to the emergency room. The match is made for later.

Switcheroo: Former Longtime WWE Star Talks Changing Up His In Ring Style

It’s a change. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestler and some of them work better than others. A slight tweak in how a wrestler comes off can change everything about them, either for good or bad. Occasionally a wrestler with a serious background might want to shake things up a bit and now an established veteran is going to be trying to do just that for himself.

King Time: Jim Ross Provides Health Update On Jerry “The King” Lawler Following Stroke

That could be worse. There are all kinds of health problems that a wrestler could have throughout their career, with many of them being the same kind of thing that run of the mill people deal with every day. Those are often the more serious ones though and the question becomes how the recovery is going to go. That is the case again, as a wrestling legend is recovering from a health scare.

Working On It: Update On WWE’s WrestleMania 39 World Title Plans

Plans change. We are less than two months away from WrestleMania 39 and that means we should be in for quite a few major storyline advancements in the next few weeks. That can range anywhere from the top of the card all the way to the bottom, but either way, you can see the changes taking place rather quickly. Now though, we might not be seeing one of the bigger changes so soon.

One of the ideas rumored during the Road To WrestleMania 39 was the splitting of the Undisputed WWE Universal Title into two titles, or possibly having a new title introduced. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the original idea would have seen Roman Reigns defend against the Rock on Night One while Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre fought for the other title on Night Two. However, since the Rock is not available, the plan was scrapped for the time being, though WWE does want to go back to two World Titles at some p..

Please Don’t Be Bad: WWE Star May Have Suffered An Injury

That could be serious. There are all kinds of injuries in wrestling and you never know when you are going to see someone put on the shelf for any amount of time. Seeing an injury of any kind is a bad thing as you don’t know when someone might be back in the ring. The tricky thing with wrestling is that there are storyline injuries as well, and now we don’t know which kind we are seeing.

WATCH: Long Time Tag Team Violently Splits On NXT

So much for that. Tag team wrestling has been around for a very long time in wrestling and that will likely be the case again for years to come. There are several teams who have been together for a long time, but at some point they are going to split for one reason or another. Some of these are more violent than others, and that was the case again this week as two wrestlers went their separate ways.

He’s Done? WWE Hall Of Fame Says He Won’t Wrestle Again

So that’s it? Retirement is a tricky thing in wrestling, as so many wrestlers will come back for one more match after they have decided to hang up their boots.

All kinds of wrestlers will announce that their careers are over, and now another legend has said that he won’t be wrestling again.
