Izzy Moreno won her first match this weekend.

I know her parents are toxic or whatever, but I enjoy seeing her really putting in the work at something she is passionate about. She could have just been "the Bailey Fan" and ridden that for her 15 minutes within the industry.

I agree. The fact she always gets on Busted Open and chats with Bully means she got a few connections, IMO. She’s also working on the X, cutting promos and advancing story lines.

The feud for 2030: Izzy vs. Bailey. You could rerun the Trish-Mickie James line with Izzy being Mickie albeit without the lesbian overtones.

Is Bailey going to agree to a Slow-Motion Stipulation Match? :bored:
 
AEW Reportedly Finds Streaming Partner in Warner Bros Discovery's MAX Service

Andrew Zarian on Sunday's Wrestling Observer Live says AEW on MAX is happening.

“I don’t have insight on the pricing, but I do have insight. They are going to MAX. That is happening. That's happening in 2024 for sure. Maybe the December PPV is on MAX, and that's a real possibility.”

Jade Cargill is a great fit for WWE. Shame Tony has never sustained momentum with his women's programs.

She was pushed way too soon. Big swole made the race comments and boom there was Jade with a rocket on her ***. I give her props but don’t see what people see in Jade. Her character is good for WWE but she’s incredibly green still
 
WOR: Mariah May reportedly told STARDOM officials that she will not be signing with WWE or AEW when her contract expires at the end of this month and she will be returning to England to weigh all of her options.

STARDOM has told May that she has a set roster spot waiting for her, if she decides to return to the company.
 
A fan sent a request to Brent Council asking for the attendance at AEW All In via the Freedom of Information act.

The council member responded saying the attendance was 85,528.

A different member of Brent Council on Sep 13 told Brandon Thurston that the turnstile count (number of ticketed fans who entered the building) was 72,265.
 
Bobby Fish talking about the status of Kyle O’Reilly:

"Kyle had neck surgery. He's still under contract with AEW, and you know, love AEW or hate them, love Tony Khan or hate him, I can say nothing but positive things about the fact that Kyle's been on the payroll the whole time. My issues with Tony were never personal either. Like, I don't know the man well enough personally to have an issue with him, and like I said, I'm grateful for the money but like, for what he's done for Kyle alone, and Kyle being one of my closest friends, Kyle's got a wife and a daughter and you know, like that alone, I'll respect Tony.”
 
I feel so bad for Austin

Adam Cole announces that he broke his ankle in 3 places and will have to go get surgery.

But MJF will not allow them to relinquish the ROH Tag Team Championships. He will defend the titles by himself!

So different from The Kliq and others

During an interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, Bryan Danielson said the following about upcoming match against Zack Sabre Jr. at the 2023 AEW WrestleDream PPV event.

.

“So I’m hoping we’re not at the end of the pay-per-view. So that’s my hope. I have joked but only half joking with Tony Khan. I was like, “I never wanted a main event, another AEW pay-per-view ever again.” Right? And this is a positive for AEW. The AEW pay-per-views are outstanding, right? And it is hard for me as a 42-year-old still trying to do this professional wrestling thing to match, say for example, the physicality of something like the Kenny Omega-Will Ospreay match before.”

“So when I wrestled Okada, we had to follow that match and it’s in Canada with Kenny Omega and it’s like oh my gosh. And at the end of a very long show, that’s a tough ask. And so I was very grateful that me and Ricky Starks were in the middle of all out for our Strap Match. And that’s why I was so odd by Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy from All Out is because being the last match on an AEW pay-per-view is tough. It’s a tough, tough thing, and they did a fantastic job. So yeah. I’ve been trying to convince Tony this whole time that me and Zack should not be in the main event.”
 
WON: Mariah May has told people in Japan that she is coming back soon but she was going home for little bit of a break and to see her family in the United Kingdom.
 
Crazy stat of the day

MJF and Jay White’s promo angle did 943,000 viewers and 404,000 in 18-49 demo.

This was not only the highest rated segment from Dynamite, but was also the highest rated demo rating for a segment since Page & Swerve a couple weeks ago.
 
TMZ Sports has obtained the airport video, which shows former WWE Superstar Matt Riddle apparently intoxicated, to the point where he grabs the terminal intercom and goes off on a profanity laced tirade.

Riddle was released from WWE less than 2 weeks later.
 
Multiple talents and people in AEW are pushing hard to have TK sign Sami caligano who’s an fa. Moxley is pushing the hardest. Edge official became an FA at midnight last night

Edge update:

Source within WWE believe they don’t own exclusive licensing rights to “Metalingus”, but another said there can be exclusive rights reached, though WWE likely never felt it necessary.

They also no longer have a license to Rob Zombie’s “Never Gonna Stop”
 
Claudio defeats Josh Barnett in a wrestling classic. Very Inoki-ism type of match. After the match Barnett endorses Claudio and says they will fight again. Bloodsport?
 
Young Bucks win the Fatal 4 way tag match to become number 1 contenders for the AEW Tag Titles. I'm not sure that was the planned finish since Fenix got hurt. Assuming FTR wins, Going back to Bucks vs FTR again so soon doesn't seem like the original plan.

Love this for Orton. People can argue over who is the greatest of all time, and Orton can just say "how many of them have their finshers/signatures embedded into pop culture?"

Flair's woooos, Orton's RKO, Danielson's YES chants maybe, that's pretty much the list......

Bret Hart's sharpshooter was part of the Malcolm in the Middle theme song/opening title; that is pretty damn good.

But I am here for all praise of Orton. The list of wrestling GOATs is long, but when looking at just wrestlers who debuted this century, he is as good as anyone. I'd put him right next to Bryan Danielson as the best.

Orton deserves more praise. I just wished Vince wasn’t so thick headed and we could see Randy wrestle in Japan
 
Crazy fact of the day

Adam Copeland’s AEW debut last night at AEW Wrestle Dream has already amassed an estimated 14,500,000 views across all official company social platforms / uploaded clips in less than 24 hours (12 hours).

This also marks the highest reach ever for an AEW debut and has passed CM Punk’s debut record by 48%!
 
“One of the biggest reasons I joined AEW was because of my daughter. She kept telling me that I should go join Uncle Jay (Christian Cage) and have some fun.”

- Adam Copeland (via WrestleDream Media Scrum)
 
For a company like WWE saying they don’t see AEW as direct comp they are stacking NXT next week. Do to baseball playoffs dynamite was moved to Tues next Week
 
So most of Edges interviews he’s said nothing bad about WWE. He wanted to end his career with Christian. His daughter also wanted to see him United with uncle Jay

He’s also seems interested in a few matches in Japan
