Will Ospreay was betrayed at AEW WrestleDream 2024 by Kyle Fletcher and it cost him his International title.

Near the end of what is easily a MOTYC, Don Callis attempted to hit Ospreay with a screwdriver. Ospreay stopped him and tried to hit the Tiger Driver before Kyle appeared and hit him with the screwdriver.

Takeshita then got the pinfall after hitting his running knee, followed by Fletcher hitting his OWN Tiger Driver on Ospreay to seal the heel turn.

AEW star Adam Cole finally made his return to the company to confront MJF as part of WrestleDream 2024 tonight from Tacoma.

MJF had appeared to attack Daniel Garcia following the TNT Championship match, and before he could hit him with the Dynamite Diamond Ring, Adam Cole would appear to chase off the former AEW Champion.

Cole has not been on AEW programming in quite some time, but it looks like he has returned and will be going forward in a babyface role.

Jay White managed to get revenge on Hangman Adam Page in his return match at AEW WrestleDream 2024 tonight.

The match opened the card from the Tacoma Dome with Switchblade looking to take out Hangman after the Cowboy took him out of action a few months ago. White worked predominately as the face for most of the contest but was still giving off heel vibes with his offence.

White managed to get the win after reversing the Buckshot Lariat into the Blade Runner.

AEW WrestleDream 2024 Rumors: Potential betrayals, debuts, title switches and more

As AEW’s WrestleDream 2024 approaches, the wrestling world is buzzing with anticipation. This pay-per-view event, set to take place in Tacoma, Washington, promises to deliver thrilling matches and potentially game-changing moments. Let’s dive into some of the most intriguing rumors and speculations surrounding this highly anticipated show.

Potential Betrayals

One of the most talked-about matches on the card is the AEW World Championship bout between Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley. While these two have a history as allies in the Blackpool Combat Club, Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC and Marina Shafir are the new top faction in town. There’s speculation that this match could see a shocking betrayal, potentially with Wheeler Yuta also turning on Danielson and aligning with the new group.

Anticipated Debuts

AEW has a history of surprising fans with unexpected debuts, and WrestleDream 2024 could be no exception.

Bobby Lashley’s Potential Appearance

There’s buzz about the possibility of former WWE star Bobby Lashley making his AEW debut at WrestleDream. Some predictions suggest he could interfere in a high-profile match, possibly attacking a top star and immediately establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with in AEW. He could also appear during the Swerve Strickland segment during the show.

Title Changes

With several championship matches on the card, fans are speculating about potential title changes that could shake up the AEW landscape.

The odds of Moxley winning against Danielson changed dramatically in the final hours ahead of the show, and it is believed that he could now be walking out as the Champion, ending the full-time in-ring career of the American Dragon.

Bryan Danielson Ready for AEW WrestleDream Despite Health Concerns

Bryan Danielson says he feels healthy enough to face Jon Moxley at Saturday’s AEW WrestleDream PPV. However, the reigning AEW World Champion admits that he’s on borrowed time, with concerns about his long-term health persisting.

The American Dragon is preparing for what could be the fight of his life. Speaking with Justin Barrasso, Danielson expressed confidence in his readiness for the match, but acknowledged the seriousness of his health issues.

“Our trainer is concerned to some extent, and so am I,” Danielson said. “My wife is very worried. But there have been times in my career where I’ve been more concerned than I am now.”

Danielson highlighted the balance between his current abilities and his long-term health.

“The biggest issue is my overall health in the long run. Right now, everything is fixable. In the short term, it’s about whether I can perform at the level I expect from myself—and I know I can. I’m exactly where I want to be, fighting someone I want to fight. So, the answer is yes.”

Update on Kenny Omega’s Return to AEW

Kenny Omega could be back in action before the end of the year, but injuries are starting to catch up with the former AEW World Champion.

His longtime friend and tag team partner, Kota Ibushi, recently provided an update on Omega’s in-ring future.

During a conversation with wrestling legend Yuji Nagata, Ibushi shared that Omega is expected to be healthy enough to return in 2-3 months. However, his recovery has been very difficult, and he continues to deal with significant pain and lingering issues.

Ibushi also revealed that they plan to reunite as the Golden Lovers very soon. He has mentioned in various interviews that he remains committed to AEW and is eagerly awaiting another run alongside the Best Bout Machine.

Omega has spoken openly about the increasing difficulty of recovering from injuries and has publicly questioned how many more times he’ll have the drive to return after long layoffs. While his days as a full-time performer may be winding down, fans hope to see him compete at a high level—at least on a part-time basis—for a few more years.

Health Update and Future Outlook

Kenny Omega has been out of action for approximately five months. Back in May, he addressed his health status on AEW Dynamite, and then later during a live stream on Twitch.

Omega is preparing for an upcoming major surgery with a top specialist, which has given him confidence despite the seriousness of the procedure. He has acknowledged that this will require him to take additional time off, including a break from streaming.

The former AEW Champion has been battling multiple health issues, including diverticulitis, a hernia, and other injuries that date back to his early AEW days and his appearances for Triple A. Initially, Omega misattributed some of the pain to a hernia, but later discovered it was diverticulitis, a condition he has been dealing with for over four years.

At times, Omega admits he considered retirement due to the severity of his injuries. However, he is now optimistic about returning to the ring, potentially at the same level as his early AEW performances. He views this recovery period as an opportunity for a “repackaging,” aiming to come back better, even if his prime years are behind him. He hopes to bring a fresh approach to his character and in-ring style moving forward.

As AEW’s WrestleDream pay-per-view event approaches tonight, rumors are swirling about the potential debut of former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley. Fans are speculating that the powerhouse athlete could make his first appearance in All Elite Wrestling at this highly anticipated event.

The Speculation Surrounding Bobby Lashley’s AEW Debut

Betting Odds and Fan Expectations

Betting odds for WrestleDream suggest that Bobby Lashley is expected to make his AEW debut. This speculation has gained traction among fans, who are eagerly anticipating the possibility of seeing “The All Mighty” in an AEW ring for the first time.

The Hurt Business Connection

Adding fuel to the fire of these rumors is the recent debut of Lashley’s former Hurt Business teammates, MVP and Shelton Benjamin, in AEW. This has led many to believe that a reunion of sorts could be in the works, potentially under a new name such as “The Hurt Syndicate.”

Potential Scenarios for Lashley’s Debut

The Swerve Strickland Segment

One popular theory among fans is that Bobby Lashley could make his entrance during a segment involving Swerve Strickland. AEW typically reserves non-wrestling segments on pay-per-views for significant moments, and Lashley’s debut would certainly fit that criteria.

A possible scenario could unfold as follows:

  • MVP and Shelton Benjamin confront Swerve Strickland’s manager, Prince Nana.
  • Swerve’s music hits, and he’s offered a spot in MVP’s new group.
  • After Swerve rejects the offer, Lashley appears to assist MVP and Benjamin in attacking Strickland.

The Undertaker Believes Current Backstage Environment In WWE Is ‘Almost Too Calm’

The Undertaker has revealed how Triple H has completely changed the backstage environment in WWE.

The Dead Man recently appeared on Booker T’s Hall of Fame podcast. The two wrestling veterans talked about things such as their own time coming up in the business, how young generation needs to focus more on storytelling and more.

When Booker asked Taker about his experience at recent WWE shows, The Last Outlaw explained that things have taken a 180-degree turn since the new management took over and Triple H became head of creative:

“It’s crazy to me how calm everything is backstage now. You know, Paul’s demeanor is so chill. Every time I see him, he’s got time to sit down and explain something to you. It’s just not that Helter Skelter fire drill [anymore]—which I thrived in. You had to be able to [do that].

I just remember working on a promo all day long, and then 10 minutes before you go out, it’s completely changed. You had to come up [with something] and you gotta go do it. You gotta do it live. It’s so [calm], it’s almost too calm for me.”

Paul Is So Nurturing: The Undertaker

While The Undertaker himself thinks that he wouldn’t have survived in an environment like this, he acknowledged that it’s a blessing for all the young athletes coming up:

“I know it’s gotta be better for the athletes and performers to get there and ‘Okay this is what we’re gonna do’ and that’s pretty much what’s gonna happen. That Helter Skelter fire drill thing that happened every Monday Night. You just expected it.

But it’s gotta be especially for so much young talent that there is, it’s gotta help them develop a little quicker. Because they don’t have that ‘staring down the barrel of a gun’ kind of mentality. Paul is so nurturing I think to the talent that it’s gonna really help a lot of people.”

The Undertaker’s most recent WWE appearance came during the WrestleMania 40 weekend. He first inducted Muhammad Ali into Hall of Fame and then helped Cody Rhodes finally beat Roman Reigns in the main event of the show.

Major Departure From AEW’s Creative Team

Jimmy Jacobs has resigned from the AEW writing team.

The former WWE writer had worked closely with President Tony Khan since joining the Elite promotion back in June 2023.

Fightful Select is now reporting that the 40-year-old submitted his resignation over the past week and he has already finished up with the company.

Jacobs had been feeling burned out of late and the two sides remain on amicable terms despite his decision. The AEW officials are looking at this as an opportunity to freshen up the writers room.

Jimmy Jacobs’ Writing Career

A former ROH star, Jimmy Jacobs ventured into writing when he joined the WWE creative team in March 2017. Chris Jericho has credited Jacobs for helping ‘The List’ get over during his 2016 run with the company.

Jimmy was fired from the promotion in October 2017. This came after Jacobs posted a photo with Bullet Club on Instagram during their ‘invasion’ of Raw. After his WWE departure, Jacobs returned to the independent circuit as a wrestler.

He made his TNA debut in November 2017. It was later revealed that the wrestling veteran was also working as a producer for the company.

Jimmy Jacobs would be included in the creative team of TNA later on as well. He remained in the position until June 2023, when he moved from Impact to AEW.

There is no word on what the former ROH tag champion is planning for his future. Though he has wrestled a few indie matches in the last few months. It’d not be a surprise if we see him making a full-time in-ring return in coming times.

Hornswoggle Latest Legend To Ink Nostalgia Deal With WWE

Dylan ‘Hornswoggle’ Postl is the latest ex-WWE star to sign a Legends deal.

The wrestling veteran made the announcement during a recent appearance at ACW Wisconsin. He confirmed that as of last week, he has signed a deal that will allow him to be featured in action figures, video games, and more moving forward:

WWE has been very active in signing veterans to legends deals in recent months. Just in last few weeks, DDP, RVD, Mick Foley, and even Jesse Ventura have confirmed new contracts with the company.

Veterans wrestlers are not the only ones the company has been signing. They’ve also been engaged in active negotiations with a number of current top stars.

The officials have reached out to talents such as Kevin Owens, Nia Jax and Liv Morgan in recent times. Rhea Ripley is one star who is very close to signing a new deal with a significant raise.

Hornswoggle In WWE

Hornswoggle was an active member of the WWE roster from 2006 to 2016. He was assosiated with names such as Finaly and DX during his time in the company.

The two most famous storylines involving the 38-year-old include him being revealed as the anonymous Raw GM in 2012 and as Vince McMahon’s illegitimate son in 2007.

The former WWE star has continued being active in the wrestling business since his departure from the Endeavor-owned promotion. He has made appearances for companies such as TNA, ROH, and even AEW since 2016.

Watch: What Happened With Cody Rhodes After (10/11) SmackDown Went Off Air

Cody Rhodes extended his dark match winning streak against ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio after this week’s episode of SmackDown from Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.

The episode featured two dark matches after the broadcast of the show. Jey Uso defended his IC title against Bron Breakker in the first match. He pinned Breakker with a spear to retain the title.

The American Nightmare took on the Raw star in the second dark match. Towards the ending of the bout, Mysterio locked him up for three amigos but Rhodes countered it into a cutter. The Undisputed WWE Champion then hit the Cross Rhodes for the victory.

He stayed around the arena for almost an hour after this match, and took photos with all the fans. Cody even brought a young fan into the ring and gifted him his weight belt.

What Happened On SmackDown

The SmackDown main event featured the returning Jimmy Uso taking on Solo Sikoa. This came after Jimmy cost Solo and Jacob Fatu their match against Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes at Bad Blood.

In the end, the numbers game proved too much for Uso and Sikoa picked up the victory. Reigns tried to make the save for his cousin when the Bloodline attacked him after the bout but his presence also didn’t prove to be enough.

The opening segment of the night featured Jimmy and Roman having a talk after Bad Blood. Uso had told Reigns that they needed help in their fight against the Bloodline.

The main event segment that followed was the perfect set up for Reigns to acknowledge that and potentially reach out to his former allies such as Jey Uso or Sami Zayn.

Motor City Machine Guns Debut Confirmed For 10/18 SmackDown

WWE has confirmed that Motor City Machine Guns will be making their SmackDown debut during next week’s episode of the Blue Branded Show.

The company started airing vignettes teasing the arrival of the legendary tag team last week and we deciphered the code behind the mysterious video package.

This week’s episode of the Friday night show then featured a backstage segment with General Manager Nick Aldis and Legado Del Fantasma. The leader of the group Santos Escobar complained to Aldis about his faction members never getting any title opportunities on the show.

Aldis in response announced that Angel and Berto will take on a team of his choosing next week on October 18. Nick said that if the duo win, they might be in position for a title shot and Escobar told the SmackDown official that he won’t regret the decision. As the group went out of the frame, Aldis murmured ”I won’t regret it, but you might.’

Shortly after this segment, another mystery vignette based on Detroit played with the initials MCMG flashing on the screen. The video package further confirmed that the duo will be making their debuts next week.

Motor City Machine Guns have been free agents since their TNA contracts expired in April this year. The duo have already said goodbye to the indie circuit, all but confirming that they have signed a contract with the Endeavor-owned promotion.

Thunder Rosa will be returning to in-ring action soon following her announcement today that she has been medically cleared.

Fans have eagerly awaited this news, as Rosa has been sidelined for over a month. Her last match took place on the August 31st edition of AEW Collision.

Rosa later revealed that her absence was due to a concussion, contrary to earlier reports suggesting other reasons. Now that she has recovered, Rosa is ready to get back in the ring.

While speaking on Busted Open Radio, the former AEW Women’s Champion confirmed her medical clearance and expressed gratitude to the AEW medical team for their support.

“I want to thank the AEW medical team and everyone involved — I’m finally cleared,” Rosa said. “If you feel that you have a concussion, please go to your doctor. If you are an athlete, let your coaches know that this is important.”

As of now, there is no official date for her in-ring return.

Jerry Lawler: My Health Ended My Commentary Days, But I Don’t Miss It

For decades, Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler provided his iconic voice to WWE programming and is a part of some of the company’s most iconic moments. It’s been over four years since Lawler was part of a WWE commentary team, and The King is in no hurry to don a headset again.

In recent years, Lawler has battled several health issues, including suffering a stroke in 2023. Speaking this week to Sportskeeda, The King acknowledged that these health issues ended his career as a commentator.

“I had a couple of strokes. That’s what cost me my deal with WWE and my commentating because my voice is not perfect, but it’s not good enough to do commentating.”

While Lawler’s voice isn’t capable of calling hours of WWE content anymore, the King isn’t too upset over it. In the interview, Lawler recalled a recent commentary experience that left him ready for a break.

“Do I miss it? No... 10 or 15 minutes before it [his recent commentary experience] was over, I was thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, how much longer is this going to last?’ So anyway, as soon as it was over, I just got up, went about my business.”

While Lawler’s long-time broadcast partner Jim Ross still calls the action in AEW, Jerry is fine with leaving his days behind the desk in the past. While fans can still see Lawler at conventions, events, and occassionally with WWE, expect to see The King in his signature crown, not a headset.

AJ Styles made his long-awaited return to WWE television on SmackDown last week, but things didn’t go as planned. During his match with Carmelo Hayes, where Hayes emerged victorious, Styles sustained an injury.

WWE later confirmed that Styles suffered a mid-foot ligament sprain, and he was shown being evaluated by the medical team before leaving the arena on crutches. Although early reports suggested his absence might be part of a storyline, it was later confirmed that Styles had suffered an injury.

The Phenomenal One had been absent from WWE since stepping in for Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at the Clash at the Castle event in June. It wasn’t due to injury, but lack of creative. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that Styles was frustrated with the situation, as it could impact future plans.

WWE had intended to start a storyline involving Styles embarking on a farewell tour, teasing his eventual retirement. However, the direction of this storyline now hinges on the results of an MRI, which will determine the severity of his injury.

Styles is 47 years old and began his pro wrestling career in 1998.

Ricky Starks hasn’t been seen seen on AEW television since march, leaving fans to wonder about his future with the promotion. Last month, Starks clarified that he’s healthy and hasn’t turned down any creative pitches to get him back in the mix.

Starks did a virtual signing with Highspots this week and responded to a question about the possibility of him jumping to WWE when his AEW contract expires. He laughed and said he takes the speculation as a compliment.

“Honestly, it’s so sweet that people would say that. I think it’s a compliment. It’s great to know people care about me that much.”

– Ricky Starks on fans thinking he’s going to WWE

The former AEW FTW Champion has attended several WWE events over the past year, as the personal guest of Cody Rhodes. He was spotted backstage at the 2024 Royal Rumble, and was at WrestleMania 40 to see the American Nightmare ‘Finish His Story’ back in April.

Why is Ricky Starks off AEW TV?

Starks reiterated that he’s perfectly healthy, ready to get back in the ring, but being sidelined is out of his control.

“No, I’m not out of action due to injury. I’m healthy. I’m of sound mind and body. I’m capable of wrestling, it’s just not up to me.

I wish I had an answer as to why I’m not on television. I’m healthy and ready to get back in the ring. I’m in shape, always have been. Sometimes, it just isn’t up to me, I guess.””

– Ricky Starks is ready to work

He concluded by expressing his commitment to finding a way to get back to wrestling, feeling that he owed fans some explanation for his absence.

Mickey Rourke Regrets Abusing His Body For ‘The Wrestler’

Mickey Rourke received an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of Randy “The Ram” Robinson in The Wrestler, but the legendary actor harbors some regret.

The Wrestler, directed by Darren Aronofsky, was one of the most critically acclaimed movies of 2008, winning and being nominated for several major awards in the film industry. A big takeaway was how Rourke looked and felt the part of a pro wrestler past his prime trying to remain relevant in a business that is so unforgiving.

To look the part, Rourke put his body through an immense transformation as the Sin City star added on 70 pounds of muscle by eating an exorbitant amount of food and taking steroids.

This week, Rourke took to his Instagram to express his regret at not approaching his transformation in the right manner.

“Was just finishing up my nightly 2 hr trainning. I was thinking back to when I did a film called ‘the WRESTLER.’ I HONESTLY REGRET PUTTING ON 70 POUNDS TO LOOK THE PART ..I DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE IN MY OWN SKIN AND IT TOOK ALMOST 4 OR 5 YRS TO GET BACK TO 180.

IT WAS NOT A GREAT WELL THOUGHT OUT PLAN, I OF COURSE USED STEROIDS AND ATE ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF FOOD 6 TIMES A DAY. WAS VERY STUPID ON MY PART. MY ONLY REAL ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS LONG HRS IN GYM. I REGRET IT, BUT I’VE MADE MANY DUMB ASS DECISIONS IN MY LIFE.

I CRINGE WHEN I SEE PHOTOS OF MYSELF. I NEVER SAID I WAS THE SHARPEST PENCIL IN THE BOX. OH WELL I WAS THINKING OUT LOUD AND THOUGHT PERHAPS I COULD GET THIS MESSAGE OUT TO SOME YOUNG DUDE WHO WANTS TO GET BIGGER AND BIGGER. “

Rourke did make a memorable appearance at WrestleMania 25 in a spot where he knocked out Chris Jericho.

Vince McMahon Didn’t Love Christian Cage, But Tony Khan Does

Vince McMahon allegedly had no appreciation for the talent of Christian Cage while in WWE, but someone who does is his current boss Tony Khan.

Cage trended on social media on Thursday night after former WWE commentator Todd Grisham shared an antedote that Vince McMahon once gave him on the headset to hype Christian to the ring. Cage was set to go against then ECW Champion Jack Swagger, but Grisham very much undersold the surprise that was Christian Cage.

Khan would then go on X to make his own post to say “Christian Cage is the man.” Khan also has an immense amount of respect for Cage’s former partner, Adam Copeland, noting of his efforts to help those affected by Hurricane Helene.

Cage did have a World Heavyweight Title reign while in WWE, but the veteran could still that in AEW. The company’s ‘Father Figure’ has a World Title contract he can cash in at anytime.

As it stands now, Jon Moxley will challenge Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Championship this Saturday night at WrestleDream, but one of wrestling’s top heels isn’t beyond inserting himself into the equation. Cage has tried to do so previously against Danielson, but was thwarted by Claudio Castagnoli and PAC.


The Rock Not Scheduled For WrestleMania 41 (Report)

The Rock’s current WWE storyline is seemingly not headed where people are expecting it to go.

The Great One is believed to be the force behind Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline. Ever since Sikoa took over the faction, many have expected it to finally lead to a match between The People’s Champion and his cousin Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 41.

Per Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, however, the Hollywood star is currently not scheduled to compete at the Show of Shows next year from the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.

According to one WON source, The Rock’s schedule has gotten too heavy. He has already given word to WWE that he won’t be able to wrestle at the show next year.

What’s Next For The Rock?

The 52-year-old made his electrifying return to WWE during the Bad Blood PPV earlier this month on Ocotber 5, indicating that the next chapter of his current run would be written very soon.

Because he returned after Roman Reigns teamed up with Cody Rhodes to pick up a victory over The Bloodline, some have believed it’s leading towards a triple threat involving Rock, Rhodes and Reigns at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

If Rock’s return is not headed toward a WrestleMania match, the most obvious direction would be for him to lead The Bloodline in a WarGames match against Roman, Cody, and their other allies at the upcoming Survivor Series PPV on November 30.

Both Cody and Roman have teased a rematch for the Undisputed WWE title since the latter’s return to TV at SummerSlam. So it’s possible that the singles match to complete the trilogy would then be saved for Mania.
