While speaking to The Pro Wrestling Illustrated podcast, Cody Rhodes addressed rumors of former WWE Superstar CM Punk possibly appearing at his upcoming 10,000 seat arena event and mentioned that he can be a part of it if he wanted.

“The first thing everyone said when this story broke was, ‘You’ve got to get CM Punk.’ I love CM Punk. The fans never gave up on CM Punk. If CM Punk wants to part of ‘All In,’ he can be part of ‘All In.’ But I am not putting it on him to draw those 10,000 seats. If we did have CM Punk, we would not tell you we had CM Punk—unless we didn’t sell any tickets (laughing).”

Rhodes also commented on the possibility of Daniel Bryan being a part of the show.

“The main thing is I want Dan to be happy and healthy. But I know Dan knows what we’re thinking and when we’re thinking. So if that’s something that, if we could, that would be wonderful match. And I think it would be wonderful to do it for the Ring of Honor world title, being it that he has such roots with the company of old. The company today doesn’t look anything like it used to so I think that would be interesting. But we’re exploring all kinds of options.”

There is a good chance Eddie Edwards could be heading to WWE next year.

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that his contract with Impact Wrestling runs up in February and there is a chance he could be leaving the company.

WWE apparently has interest in signing him to a deal for him to work the NXT brand. The company passed on him years ago but that was when they had a negative mentality toward ROH talent.

Meltzer also mentioned that Ring of Honor is interested in signing him as well.

WWE and Ring of Honor both held live events in San Antonio, TX, Friday night. Cody Rhodes decided to point out that ROH sold out while the NXT show didn’t during an in-ring promo at the event.

Cody’s wife brand also weighed in on the matter on Twitter:

ROH San Antonio sold out and I’m hearing the meet and greet line was one for the record books. So fun! Heck of a time to be both a wrestler and a wrestling fan. Options are good! #ROHsanantonio #WOH #BulletClub #AmericanNightmare

Kenny Omega’s current contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling expires January 31st of next year, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be headed to WWE anytime soon.

Dave Meltzer mentioned in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that there is very little talk of him leaving the promotion. Omega has said himself that barring any unforeseen issues, he plans on signing with New Japan for another year. Omega’s new deal, if he chooses to stick around, would see his pay increase considerable and it would give him extra authority as a creative voice in all his angles.

Omega told Tokyo Sports last month that he’s staying with New Japan. “I’m staying in New Japan 100 percent,” Omega said. “This is where wrestlers can be themselves and fight for themselves. I want to show how great a place it is.”

Omega has already been announced for shows beyond his NJPW obligations, such as the Ring Of Honor Supercard of Honor on April 7. Omega is scheduled to face WWE Superstar Chris Jericho at the Wrestle Kingdom 12 event on January 4th in a one-and-done match.

While speaking with CBS Local, ROH COO Joe Koff announced that Ring of Honor plans to launch their own streaming service early next year.

Koff told the affiliate, “It really became developmentally the right time to do it. We saw an opportunity. We had a long discussion about it. We looked at the business model and how it impacts our business. We just felt that this was the time to create our own Ring of Honor stream.”

When asked about what to expect, Koff responded, “You’re going to see an enhanced Honor Club. We tested it during the Global Wars Tour of streaming house shows to ringside members. You’re going to see a lot more content available, not only to everybody, but certainly in that Honor Club. [When we tested] streaming for two shows, our response was terrific from a quality standpoint and from an accessibility standpoint.”

While appearing on Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray talked about the comments he made during his appearance at Sunday’s Global Wars event in Chicago.

Ray says that the decision to step away from in-ring competition is not just about his injury he suffered but the potential for serious ring rust with the nature of this injury. Bully says that unless he is able to compete at a certain level, he doesn’t want to perform anymore.

Ray mentioned that he is still under contract with Ring of Honor and he will be at the ROH television tapings this upcoming Friday. Bully said he would like to shake every fans hand outside of the arena and thank them for their support.

Bully also talks about how special and how much Ring of Honor means to him and says that they have the hottest thing in pro wrestling right now, the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega (The Elite).

Cody Rhodes posted the following in regards to criticism he has received regarding his recent remarks about WWE bringing back the Starrcade and War Games events.

“Received a lot of praise, but also a good deal of criticism in regards to my remarks on Starrcade & War Games…with that said I’d like to clarify my position and clear up some confusion. As I try to climb the ladder in my sport, with every arena I walk into, I carry my Father’s legacy. It is also my job to protect it. Literally. As head of his estate, I try to always honor and never exploit. There’s no guidebook on how I’m supposed to do that. I loved him. He was my best friend and his death was a shock. My comments are certainly from the heart, but they are measured and I stand by them.

Nobody ever claimed they needed me or Michelle’s permission. “I was told” doesn’t mean anything more than that. They didn’t have to, but they did and for that I am thankful. Dusty didn’t just name/grid/book these events…he gave them life. Starrcade he did in honor of my Sister, Teil. The PPV era would have come much later without the direct consequences of closed circuit and the large scale event concept. HOWEVER, I do understand that to the victor goes the spoils, and that my Dad’s many many creations for Jim Crockett Promotions and later WCW…they belong to WWE. They can do with them what they choose. That doesn’t mean I always have to like it though. If my Father had not been a public figure, I wouldn’t have to share him with the millions of wrestling fans out there. But I gladly do share him. I want generations of fans to know what he brought…because I feel it’s a beautiful legacy filled with treasures.”
