This past week on Raw, WWE presented its 3oth Anniversary show, also known as ‘Raw XXX’. It featured the return of many legends, including Ric Flair, who not only introduced his daughter, Charlotte, but also took time to try to mend some fences backstage.
On the latest “To Be The Man” podcast, Flair talked about his experiences at ‘Raw XXX’:
On being back at a WWE show:
“It was phenomenal. I gotta tell you, I learned more about myself and more about what I’ve missed in the business and what I hadn’t missed in one day because I haven’t been here for a long time. I felt like I was respected. I felt like I was wanted. I felt like I was part of it again. I walked away a better man with a better understanding of who I am as a person and what the business is about.”
On apologizing to Becky Lynch:
“It started out with me and Hunter talking for about an hour, which is a private discussion, but resolving a lot of issues that have been lingering for a couple years, and then I apologized to ..

They will always be Dem Boys. Tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite featured a tribute to Jay Briscoe, as his brother Mark, made his AEW debut against their longtime friend and rival, Jay Lethal.
This tribute match came just over a week after Jay Briscoe passed away in a car accident at the age of 38. Ironically, the show also happened to be taking place on what would have been Jay’s 39th birthday.
The finish of the match came when Mark Briscoe connected with The Froggy Bow through the timekeeper’s table. He then rolled Lethal into the ring, and after a series of maneuvers, Briscoe planted Lethal with The Jay Driller to pick up the victory.
Following the match, the entire AEW locker room came on stage and gave a round of applause to both competitors. Several of them also hugged Lethal as he came up to the top of the entrance ramp.
You can see a couple of videos of the tribute below:

Editor’s Opinio..

That’s awful. There are all kinds of injuries in the wrestling world and some of them are a lot more serious than others. You never know when you are going to see a wrestler put on the shelf for a very long time and occasionally the injuries come out of nowhere. That was the situation again this week as a WWE star has been put on the shelf and will not be back for a good while.

They have reason to be. Earlier this week, WWE presented the Raw XXX special, marking thirty years of Monday Night Raw. The show featured a variety of legends and huge matches, along with several special appearances. As a result, the show was one of the biggest that WWE has presented on free television in a long time. A few days later, we know a bit more about how it was received.

Ouch. There are all kinds of injuries in wrestling and you never know when you are going to see someone put on the shelf. These things can come out of nowhere and leave someone out of the ring, which can shake up a lot of plans. It doesn’t matter how big of a star someone is, and that is the case again as a popular AEW star has been injured and a plan has had to be changed as a result.

They had an idea. This week’s edition of Monday Night Raw was a special one, as the show celebrated thirty years on the air. As a result, WWE stacked the card, loading it up with multiple title matches and grudge matches. One of the more violent matches was several weeks in the making but did not wind up taking place. Now we know what was originally planned for the whole thing.

One of the matches scheduled for the show was a cage match between Becky Lynch and Bayley. However, due to the Trial Of Sami Zayn segment running long, the match was cut. Instead, Bayley and Damage Ctrl attacked Bayley and left her laying without the match beginning. According to PWInsider.com, the match would have seen Lynch winning and then being attacked by Damage Ctrl. There is no word on if the match will take place later.
What could have been. Check out what we got and how we got there:

It’s a dangerous parking lot. There are all kinds of things that can keep a wrestler out of the ring and an injury is one of the worst possibilities. There are an infinite number of ways for a wrestler to get hurt and oftentimes they are added into the storyline. That seems to be the case again, as a wrestler has undergone an injury this week on television, meaning she might be gone for a bit.

We are just over a week away from Vengeance Day with Grayson Waller challenging Bron Breakker for the NXT Title. That is going to include a lot of build this week as we get ready for the title match, but there is some other stuff to do as well. The good thing is that a lot of the card is ready so let’s get to it.
We open with a video from Grayson Waller, showing him coming to the Performance Center and throwing a bottle of water at Bron Breakker to set off a big brawl.

Back in and we officially start with Hartwell throwing Stratton around and getting two off a dropkick. Stratton gets sent outside but manages to snap the arm across the top. A slingshot splash gives Stratton one and we hit the armbar. That’s broken up and Hartwell hits a spinebuster for two before a ..
