Jon Moxley Competing In Bloodsport Fight

Share the wealth. AEW has gone from non-existent to one of the biggest wrestling promotions in the world in a pretty short amount of time. They have had more success than could have reasonably been expected and that is very impressive. A lot of that is due to the talent that they have on their roster, but a good number of them are not under exclusive contracts. That will be on display soon. Back at Double Or Nothing 2019, Jon Moxley, formerly known as Dean Ambrose in WWE, made his debut at the end of the show and became one of the biggest stars AEW had.

Josh Barnett has announced that Moxley will be fighting at Bloodsport 3 on October 11. The event will feature a series of no ropes, submission or knockout only fights between various wrestlers.

Austin Aries Says He’s Not Taking Time Off

<p>While speaking to Josh Barnett of USA Today, <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/austin-aries" title="Austin Aries">Austin Aries</a></strong> <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/2017/06/08/austin-aries-taking-time-off-wwe/">addressed reports</a> that he was taking time off from WWE soon. He explained that the quote from the interview he was featured in was taken out of context.</p><p><em>“If you look at the full quote and what I said was, Everyone is dealing with various stuff,” Aries said. “I don’t think there is anyone in the locker room is 100%. We’re all nicked and banged up to various degrees. Like anything else, you pick and choose the <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/times/" title="times">times</a></strong> you need address when it needs to be addressed and some times are better than others. I figure no matter what interview I do, the real good ‘journalists’ are going to find the completely irrelevant quotes that will drum up some controversy and stick it on their page to get some clicks and completely miss the real context of what the interview is about. That’s what we do nowadays and call it ‘journalism.’”</em></p><p>You can <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/check/" title="check">check</a></strong> out the full interview <a href="http://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/06/austin-aries-wwe-vegan-book-luke-harper" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

It’s a tremendous opportunity for those that do it, I just don’t know that it’s my thing. When I envisioned my life as a little girl, that was never in my horizons. I’m going to stay with what I want in the future.
