The Taz Show Recap – Great Balls Analysis, A.J. Styles Wins Gold, Reigns Attempts Murder, More!
Block 1:
Taz says he was shocked to hear that Austin Aries was released by WWE over the weekend. Aries is a great talker who takes great care of himself and is a terrific worker in the ring, so it’s too bad that things didn’t work out for him in WWE. He’s sure that Aries will apply his craft elsewhere in the very near future, such as Japan or in ROH.
He was also surprised to hear that A.J. Styles defeated Kevin Owens to claim the United States Title at the Madison Square Garden house show over the weekend. He likes that WWE did this, because it keeps fans guessing at live events. Switching a Title at a house show from time to time ensures fans that anything can happen at any WWE event. He’s sure that those two guys tore the house down in that match, and he’s happy for Styles.
Taz gets into his analysis of last night’s Great Balls of Fire PPV.
Taz was surprised to see Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt open the show last night. There’s nothing wrong with guys with star power opening the show like that, but Taz would have preferred if Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss opened the show. Nonetheless, Wyatt picked up a much needed win in what was a fine opening bout.
Major Update on Austin Aries’ Release from WWE
It was previously reported via Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio that Austin Aries asked for his release from WWE and the company granted it. However that doesn’t appear to be the case.
In the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Radio, Melzter claimed that it was actually WWE’s idea to release Aries from his 3-year contract with the company. The word is that a lot of the writing staff didn’t like him and he appeared to be thrilled when he was handed his release because he wasn’t happy with his current position on the roster.
In regards to his future, Aries can still use his name outside of WWE because he used it prior to signing with the company. Aries is locked into a 90-day period where he is being paid by WWE and can work dates that WWE proves during that time.

WWE 205 Live Results – May 30 2017
Welcome to the fastest hour on Television, 205 Live! You can find all the results for the cruiserweight show right here.
205 Live gets a huge appearance tonight from The Boss, Sasha Banks! The Boss has been embroiled in a feud with Alicia Fox, which has inadvertently involved both Noam Dar and Rich Swann. These four will battle each other at Extreme Rules in a mixed tag team match on the kick-off show. It’s unclear what Banks’ role will be on tonight’s show but she is likely to face Alicia Fox, with Noam Dar in her corner. That would mark the first ever women’s match to take place on 205 Live!
Elsewhere on tonight’s 205 Live, Neville was beyond furious on last night’s Raw, after he lost to Austin Aries via submission in a tag match. Neville was so angry he couldn’t even answer Charly Caruso’s questions after the fact. It seems Neville will certainly be out to hurt Aries in some fashion before they go head-to-head in a submission match at Extreme Rules. Neville will want to protect his Cruiserweight Championship at any cost and Aries should keep an eye over his shoulder!
On top of that, tonight we can expect some fallout from Akira Tozawa’s huge win over Brian Kendrick last week, and more of Drew Gulak’s no high-flying campaign. Are you excited to see The Boss? Let us know in the comments, check out the Ringside News app, and enjoy the show!
