Update on FTR’s AEW Contracts Following Revolution Return

0

FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) made a triumphant return to All Elite Wrestling at Sunday night’s AEW Revolution pay-per-view.

This marks the team’s first appearance in AEW since they dropped the World Tag-Team Championships to The Gunns at Holiday Bash in December 2022. Amid speculation about the team’s future, fans have been wondering about their futures. Their contracts are set to expire in April and the hiatus has some people questioning if they’re on their way out of Tony Khan’s promotion.

The belief amongst AEW talent is that FTR have long-term deals, according to a new report from PWInsider. The hiatus and FTR’s public comments about ‘evaluating their futures’ were part of a storyline to build interest in their eventual returns.

FTR & Tony Khan on their AEW Contracts

AEW President Tony Khan has spoken publicly about FTR’s contractual status. Back in January, he appeared on the In the Kliq podcast and stated, “I think, for [FTR], we want to see them back in AEW and want to see them heal up and come back at 100%. We’re really looking forward to that, hopefully. I think they’re a great team, and we’d love to have them back.”

Dax Harwood had said on his podcast in January that their contracts were up in April, noting:

“That’s my news; we’re going to be away for a little while. I’m not sure exactly how long we’ll be away. It may be all the way up until the end of our contract. I don’t know yet; contract is up in April. I’m not exactly sure on the exact date, our gimmick attorney would know that. But it will be somewhere in the beginning of April.”

As it seems, FTR are on a mission to reclaim the tag-team golds. The Gunns successfully defended their AEW World Tag Team Championships against three separate teams. The teams involved were The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens & Max Caster), Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal, and Orange Cassidy & Danhausen.

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler attacked The Gunns as the champs spoke to Renee Paquette post-match. The Top Guys issued a statement with the assault, seemingly challenging for the belts.

Former IMPACT Wrestling star Larry D shared some unfortunate news Saturday evening.

As revealed via Twitter, Larry D and his family lost their home in a house fire. Luckily, the family, including his dogs and cats, were rescued, but the road to recovery remains long.

“We lost our home to a house fire tonight, everything gone… I’m for the first time at a loss for words and do not know where to start…thankfully our dog an cats were saved and recovered… long road for my wife, our 4 kids and I, I you all, Tia for positive an prayers,” Larry D wrote.

Following the horrific event, Larry D’s ex-wife, Amanda Caswell, launched a GoFundMe to help the family get back on their feet. Caswell noted that the family is in special need of clothes, furniture, and more assistance in taking care of their four children. The current goal for the fundraiser is $10,000.

Ricky Starks Is Ready To Go After The AEW World Title After Revolution

0

Ricky Starks is ready to challenge for the AEW world title after his big win at Revolution.

The AEW star was involved in storyline with Chris Jericho heading into tonight’s PPV. The young star beat Y2J once earlier this year, but chose to have another match with him at the show. Starks proved that his first win wasn’t a fluke and he beat the former AEW Champion once again at Revolution.

The former FTW champion explained the reasoning behind accepting this fight in the post-show media scrum. He was asked how soon he will he try to get his rematch against MJF after tonight. Ricky Starks said that his win over Jericho puts him in front of the line for the world title:

“So I’m glad you asked that question. I think it’s important to let everybody know because there’s been speculation of why I beat somebody and then wanted to beat him again. If I did it once I can do it twice. If I beat a former AEW champion, that means that I skip the line. Now I can go back to getting my shot at the AEW championship.

That is ultimately what this whole thing has been about since day one. I am not a dumb, young kid. I know what I’m doing. Obviously, people don’t think that. So after tonight, obviously I feel like I’m in contention to be the guy next up, especially after how December went. I feel like it’s well worth it in my playground to actually go after it. And be a little bit more prepared, honestly.”

While Ricky Starks is ready to go after the world title, MJF proclaims that he doesn’t believe in dream matches. You can check out the full Revolution media scrum featuring Starks, Tony Khan and more below:

Tony Khan Asked About Kenny Omega’s Contract And Future

0

Tony Khan hopes that Kenny Omega will remain with AEW for a very long time.

There have been lots of rumors and speculations around the future of The Cleaner recently. Omega’s AEW contract was originally set to expire in early 2023. Amid rumors of WWE interest, reports suggest that AEW has added time to his deal which he has missed due to various injuries.

The AEW President was asked about all the speculations surrounding the former AEW world champion during the post-Revolution Media Scrum. While Tony Khan did not provide any update on his contract, he did praise Omega and said that he hopes to have Kenny in his company for a long time:

“No, I think Kenny Omega is one of the best wrestlers in AEW history. He’s one of the most decorated wrestlers. To have somebody who’s been World Trios Champion and had a great match defending that title tonight, World Tag Team Champion and the World Champion. He’s done everything you can do as a world champion in this company, and also the IWGP US champion.

This year alone he’s had some of the best matches in the world. I thought it was an excellent match on the Pay Per View tonight. He started the year with a great match in Tokyo vs. Will Osprey at Wrestle Kingdom. Kenny Omega can do anything he sets his mind to. He’s one of the best stars in the world, and I hope he’s here for a very long time.”

Tony Khan also commented on the weak build for The Elite vs House of Black due to visa issues for Kenny Omega and Buddy Matthews. He said that there is a possibility to revisit this feud in the future.

Tony Khan Would Not Say If He Has Had Any Talks With Mercedes Mone

0

Tony Khan thinks that Mercedes Mone is a great wrestler but he wouldn’t comment on any potential talks he has had with the former WWE star.

The current IWGP Women’s World Champion became one of the hottest free agents after walking out of WWE last year. Many believed that it was only a matter of time before she ended up in AEW. The company even teased a mystery competitor for a tag match in January. This led many to believe that Mone would be debuting for the promotion but it didn’t turn out to be the case.

The AEW President was asked about this during the AEW Revolution Media scrum. Tony Khan explained that he has a ton of respect for Mercedes Mone, but he don’t want to comment on any potential discussions with her:

“Well I have a ton of respect for the IWGP Women’s World Champion. She’s tremendous wrestler. I wouldn’t want to comment on discussions I’ve had with any wrestler as a free agent. In particular, a wrestler who’s a champion at one of our partners. But ton of respect for that great wrestler and that somebody any wrestling company would be very fortunate to have wrestling for them.”

Mercedes Mone made her NJPW debut during Wrestle Kingdom 17 in January this year. She then won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at the Battle In The Valley event in February. Though it has since been revealed that Mone only has two more dates left with the company in her current contract.

Jon Moxley Pays Tribute to Seth Rollins at AEW Revolution Pay-Per-View

0

Jon Moxley may have become the heart and soul of All Elite Wrestling, but the former World Champion has not forgotten about those he worked with in WWE.

Moxley arrived in AEW mere weeks after his departure from WWE and would become the second World Championship of the promotion.

The former Dean Ambrose now holds the records for the most AEW World Championship reigns (three, or four if you include his interim reign) and most days as AEW World Champion.

Revolution Tribute

Long before he was taking it to the likes of MJF, Kenny Omega, and the Young Bucks, Moxley was a staple of WWE, being introduced to the main roster as part of the Shield in 2012.

During last night’s Revolution Pay-Per-View, Moxley once again showed his violent side in his Texas Death Match against fellow former World Champion ‘Hangman’ Adam Page.

In one spot, Moxley had Page’s head prone on some bricks, and in what fans online have called a nod to Seth Rollins, hit a stomp on the Cowboy.

Despite this brutal move, it would be Page who would win the match, getting the submission victory over Moxley after 24 minutes.

Seth on Moxley

Moxley and Rollins haven’t shared a ring in many years, but the Architect has continued to keep a close eye on his friend and former rival.

Speaking in an interview with Ariel Helwani last year, Rollins praised Moxley’s work in AEW, and said there have been no issues between them in the years since Jon left WWE.

“Never any animosity. He’s great, he’s at the top of his game doing his thing over in AEW. So nothing but the best.”

Seth Rollins.

Rollins is expected to face Logan Paul at WWE WrestleMania next month.

MJF Wants His ‘Reign of Terror’ To Last An Eternity After Revolution Victory

0

MJF says he is the only pillar holding all of AEW up and he would like his ‘reign of terror’ to last an eternity.

The Wrestling Devil retained his title in an impressive outing in the main event of the Revolution PPV. The company also put over a number of other young stars during the show with people such as Ricky Starks, Wardlow, and House of Black picking up victories in their respective matchups. After the PPV event, it’s possible that one of them gets the next shot at the world title.

The AEW champion was asked who is next in line for a shot at his championship during the post-show media scrum. Replying to it, MJF explained that there are a lot of people he would like to demolish, but he doesn’t do dream matches:

“To be brutally honest, like I said, there’s a lot of people on my radar. I am fully aware that Hangman Adam Paige is a good competitor. I’m also fully aware of how I won this. Anybody know who I beat for this Dynamite Diamond Ring originally? Hangman Adam Page. I think Hangman, is scared of MJF and I think Hangman knows better than to come anywhere near MJF for the time being. There are other people here that I genuinely, really, really don’t like. I also don’t love the fact that a guy like Jungle Boy, or Darby Allin, or Sammy Guevara is allowed to walk around like they are homegrown superstars. Yes, they’re homegrown. They’re very solid. But at this point, I think it is very obvious that there is only one pillar that actually holds this place up. So kinda would like to prove a point there.

Adam Cole was talking shit on Twitter, wasn’t a fan of that. Think he should keep his fucking mouth shut and maybe you should tell his girlfriend is to do so as well. Are there more people? Sure. I don’t like Claudio Castagnoli’s face. I think Eddie Kingston is a cry baby bitch. I think he’s also a little punk and I wouldn’t mind getting a chance to slap him across his blue collar face. There’s a lot of people that I would love to absolutely demolish both on the microphone and in the ring. But as I said, I don’t do dream matches. The only dream I have is to hold this [AEW title] and for the reign of terror to last an eternity.”

The main event of the show was a 60 minutes Iron Man match where Danielson challenged MJF for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

Both the performers gave everything they had in this match. They managed to get three falls each at the end of the allotted time limit, pushing the bout into sudden death.

The ending of the match saw MJF hitting Danielson with an oxygen tank. The Wrestling Devil then locked him into the Lebell Lock and forced Bryan to tap for the victory.

MJF Retains World Title in Iron Man Match at AEW Revolution

0

AEW World Heavyweight Champion MJF made his latest title defense against Bryan Danielson at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view event from the Chase Center in San Francisco, California.

The sixty minute iron man match opened with MJF trying to avoid Danielson as he went into the crowd and threw water on a kid. Once back in the ring, MJF took over and beat down Danielson. MJF did a spot where he hit a powerbomb onto his knee. MJF hit a tiger driver, resulting in Danielson landing right on his neck. Danielson scored the running knee strike for the first fall. After hitting a low blow, MJF rolled him up for 2 falls. The announcer explained that MJF was DQ’d for the low blow and Danielson was given a fall.  MJF told Danielson that he hated him while having him in the figure-four leg lock. MJF landed an elbow drop off the top rope to send Danielson through a table. MJF hit a tombstone piledriver on the broken table. 

Danielson was busted open. The third fall for MJF came when MJF hit a piledriver while having Danielson dangling on the middle rope.  MJF was busted open after taking a headbutt. Danielson with a running knee strike then the lebell lock for the next fall. Danielson took a piledriver on the middle rope, but kicked out at two. MJF with a tombstone off the middle rope. They went the distance and initially ruled a draw finish. It was announced we were going to sudden death rules as MJF was getting oxygen. After Danielson avoided being hit with the diamond ring, he hit a running knee strike for 2. MJF hit him in the face with the oxygen tank then put him in a submission hold, but Danielson got out of it. MJF with the crossface for the win. 

Danielson completed MJF’s requirement of winning every match between January 11 and February 8 with his victory over Rush a few weeks ago on Dynamite, confirming the iron man match for Revolution. During a bloody match in which Danielson defeated Rush, MJF attacked Danielson, taking out security, and placing him in an armbar.

It all started when MJF took out Danielson’s mentor, William Regal, after Regal turned on Jon Moxley by costing the World Heavyweight Title. MJF eventually stated that if Danielson kept winning bouts up to February 8, he would agree to the match. Danison concurred.

Danielson has won victories over opponents such as Takeshita, Bandido, Brian Cage, and Timothy Thatcher over the previous few weeks.

The Gunn Club Retain Tag Team Titles, FTR Return at AEW Revolution

0

AEW Tag Team Champions The Gunn Club (Colten Gunn & Austin Gunn) put their titles on the line in a fatal 4-way bout at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view event from the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. 

The other teams involved in the match were The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens & Max Caster), Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal, and Orange Cassidy & Danhausen.

The match saw everyone get in their spots early on. They brought in Singh for a staredown with Danhausen, who hit him in the nuts and Billy Gunn hit the fameasser. There was a near fall when Jarrett and Lethal used a weapon and hit Caste rin the face before Jarrett connected with the stroke. Caster threatened to hit Jarrett with the guitar. The Gunns went over with their finisher on Danhausen. 

Post-match, FTR made their return by laying out The Gunns, indicating a future title match. 

The Gunn Club defeated The Acclaimed on Dynamite: Championship Fight Night on February 8, 2023, in El Paso, Texas to win the titles.

Wardlow Wins TNT Title at AEW Revolution

0

AEW TNT Champion Samoa Joe put his championship on the line against Wardlow at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view event from the Chase Center in San Francisco, California.

The match saw Wardlow come out strong and brought the fight to him before Joe took over. Wardlow fought back and hit a front senton off the top rope for 2. Although Wardlow hit him with a powerbomb, Joe cut him off with a clothesline. Wardlow with a rear-naked choke for the win. 

Since they started working together in September, the two stars have been feuding. After Wardlow said he intended to win every title in the company, Joe turned on him, despite the fact that they had initially gotten along well as tag team partner. Joe chose to attack Wardlow first because he claimed Wardlow was a danger to his ROH World Television Championship. Joe would later win the TNT Championship from Wardlow at Full Gear in a triple threat match that also included Powerhouse Hobbs.

At the New Year’s Smash event, Joe went on to defeat Wardlow in a singles match, causing him to pass out in the Coquina Clutch and later chopped off his ponytail.

On the February 2 episode of AEW Dynamite, Wardlow returned to AEW television and confronted Joe after he  won the championship by defeating Darby Allin.

Jamie Hayter Retains Women’s Title at AEW Revolution

0

AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter defended her championship against Ruby Soho and Saraya at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view event from the Chase Center in San Francisco, California.

The match started with them brawling into the crowd. Saraya took some hard bumps in this bout including when Hayter hit a rock bottom to her on the ring apron. Saraya did a comedy spot where she told them to stop attacking her. Saraya planted Hayter with a DDT. Britt Baker got on the apron and punched Saraya. Soho with her finisher for 2 as Hayter broke it up. Hayter rolled up Soho for the win. Post-match, Soho turned heel by aligning herself with Saraya and Toni Storm after the two sides got into a post-match brawl. 

The story of this program has been Soho’s allegiances as she has been in the middle of four female talents – Saraya, Toni Storm, Hayter, and Britt Baker. The idea is that Saraya and Storm are outsiders from WWE against the homegrown talent of AEW in Braker and Hayter. Soho has yet to declare a side in the story. 

In November 2022, in Newark, New Jersey, at Full Gear, Hayter defeated Toni Storm to win the inaugural interim AEW Women’s World Championship. Thunder Rosa later relinquished the real championship, making Storm’s interim reign an official reign, and she was then crowned the undisputed lineal champion on a later episode of Dynamite.

AEW Trios Champions The Elite (The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega)  put their titles on the line against The House of Black (Brody King, Buddy Matthews & Malakai Black) at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view event from the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. 

The match opened with a slow start before a brawl took place. Omega and Matt hit outside dives. King avoided a moonsault by putting up his knees to Omega. The Young Bucks with superkicks to Black and Buddy while King missed a dive in the corner. They did a sequence where everyone took out each other, leading to an AEW chant.

Matt took the pinfall loss. 

The House of Black had been doing various teases as a warning to The Elite that they were coming for the Trios Titles in the weeks leading up to the match getting made official. 

The Elite defeated Death Triangle (Pac, Penta El Zero M, and Rey Fénix) in an Escalera de la Muerte (ladder match) on the January 11th episode of Dynamite in Inglewood, California, which was the final match in a Best of Seven Series for the championship. The Elite were the inaugural champions crowned at All Out, the night they got into a backstage fight with CM Punk for the comments he made about them, Hangman Page, and Colt Cabana at the press conference.

AEW Double or Nothing 2023 Date and Location Confirmed

0

All Elite Wrestling has confirmed the details for this year’s AEW Double or Nothing.

During Sunday’s Revolution show, the promotion confirmed that this upcoming pay-per-view event, the biggest event of the year for AEW, will take place on Sunday, May 28, from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

The promotion will also hold a live Dynamite event on Wednesday, May 24th, and Rampage on May 26th from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Tickets go on sale from Friday, March 17th.

Past Shows

The first-ever Double or Nothing (and AEW) event took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and Las Vegas has become an annual tradition as the promotion held the show in the city last year at the T-Mobile Arena. The plan was to do it there in 2020, but that was shifted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the event was held at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida instead. AEW also held the 2021 edition at this venue as well. 

Chris Jericho vs. Kenny Omega to determine who would compete for the inaugural AEW World Championship at All Out headlined the 2019 PPV. In 2020, Matt Hardy and The Elite vs. The Inner Circle in a Stadium Stampede match was the main event. 

In 2021, The Inner Circle vs. The Pinnacle in a Stadium Stampede match took place, while Hangman Adam Page vs. CM Punk headlined last year’s event for the AEW World Championship.

Buddy Matthews thinks Malakai Black should challenge for AEW title

0

House of Black is competing for the Trios titles against The Elite at AEW Revolution. However, Buddy Matthews thinks Malakai Black should challenge for another AEW championship.

Malakai Black as AEW World Champion

Malakai Black
Malakai Black

In an interview on “The Amin Show”, Matthews said he is interested in the “North Atlantic” (sic) title. “I’ll take that and I’ll defend it in Australia. I’ll take it to Australia and I’ll defend it. I will go to Japan and I will defend it. Let me take that to the indie scene. I will defend it.”

“I think Malakai deserves to go for that world title. The AEW World title on Malakai Black– he is an outstanding performer. I’ve been in the ring on his side and on the other side facing off with him. So, he is a world champion competitor.”

Matthews believes Brody King “should be tearing it up with Hobbs. Should be in there tearing it up with Samoa Joe for the TNT title. If I could do my own fantasy booking; you do me versus Orange for the Atlantic title, you do Joe and you do Brody for the TNT Title and then you do whoever the winner is at Revolution between MJF and Bryan. Whoever has that title at the end of the night, throw Malakai in there.”

Christian Cage vs. ‘Jungle Boy’ Jack Perry — Final Burial Match

For those who may not know, a Final Burial Match is essentially a casket match. Perry dumps Cage to the outside and stars lighting him up with some chops to the chest. Perry drills Cage with a drop kick to the chest and goes back into the ring, looking for a dive through the ropes but Cage jumps over the barricade and scurries off through the crowd. Perry chases after Cage and Cage smashes Perry’s face into the steel guardrail. Perry trips Cage down the stairs and dumps someone’s beer on Cage’s head. The brawl spills back into the ring and Perry bites Cage’s forehead before delivering a bevy of shots in the corner. Cage shoves Perry down to the mat and flips off Perry’s mother, who’s seated ringside. Cage starts going to town on Perry with some ground and pound and stomps on Perry’s throat while looking directly at Perry’s mother.

Perry dumps Cage to the outside and nails him with a dive through the ropes. Perry slams Cage’s head into the steel steps and looks to stomp on Cage’s arm whilst on top of the steps but Cage trips Perry back first onto the steps. Cage removes Perry’s belt and starts whipping Perry’s back. Cage is leaking blood from his nose but it doesn’t deter him from continuing to fire away on Perry with the belt. Cage chokes Perry with the belt on the stage before heading over to the casket. Cage opens up the casket and there’s some steel chairs inside of it. Cage sets up the chairs on the stage and goes for the Killswitch but Perry spins out and drop kicks Cage off of the stage. Cage nails Perry with a low blow to regain control and starts pounding Perry’s head into the top of the casket.

QT Marshall says The Factory is No More

Over the weekend, a fan on Twitter tagged QT Marshall and said he misses The Factory and hopes to see them back in AEW. He replied saying they broke up due to overwhelming hate from wrestling “experts.”

On a brighter note, Marshall said the guys had fun together and encouraged people to follow the members’ careers.

Tommaso Ciampa Provides Update on His Recovery from Hip Surgery

0

WWE star Tommaso Ciampa recently hit a major milestone on recovery from hip surgery.

Ciampa, a 2-time NXT Champion, had a memorable run as part of WWE’s developmental brand. He and Johnny Gargano are former NXT Tag-Team Champions as part of the beloved DIY tag team. The partners would later go on to feud in what would become one of the brand’s most heated rivalries ever.

Ciampa has been out of action since last summer. His most recent match on the main roster took place in August 2022. He and The Miz defeated Bobby Lashley and AJ Styles by disqualification on the August 22 episode of Monday Night RAW.

He underwent surgery in October and is expected to be out of action for several more months.

Tommaso Ciampa Injury Update

Ciampa recently took to Instagram and he revealed that he’s completed his final day of stem cell therapy treatment. Tommaso Ciampa wrote on Friday:

“Today was my final stem cell treatment. They have this awesome tradition at @bioxcellerator where you write what you are hoping to achieve on your stem cell bag. I wrote “dance with buddies” which is Willow’s term for wrestling, and “play tag” because it breaks my heart that I can’t run and play with my 4 year old.

130 million cells via IV 190 million cells via intraarticular (ankles, knees, hips, shoulders) 40 million cells via intradiscal (lumbar spine, facets, SI joints) 360 million stem cells in total. Let’s heal! ?

Mommy, Daddy, Willow Forever ?”

WWE Hall of Fame: Latest Update on Plans for This Year’s Ceremony

0

Each year, the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony is one of the highlights of WrestleMania weekend. Just four weeks out from pro wrestling’s biggest event of the year, details about this year’s HOF ceremony have been sparse.

WWE has yet to announce a single member for the Hall of Fame’s Class of 2023. It’s been rumored that former WWE Champion Batista will be the headliner. He was originally planned to be inducted back in 2020, but the ceremony was scrapped that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He’s said to have had ‘scheduling conflicts’ in subsequent years.

WWE Hall of Fame Update

Instead of being a stand-alone event, this year’s Hall of Fame ceremony is expected to take place immediately following the March 31 episode of SmackDown from the Crypto.com Center in Los Angeles, California.

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter:

“Those at WWE said that even though there has been no talk about it nor any names mentioned, that the Hall of Fame ceremony is still scheduled on 3/31 at the Crypto.com Center right after the conclusion of the live Smackdown. It’s part of the Smackdown ticket rather than an additional event.”

In addition to Batista, Hall of Famer Trish Stratus also recently pitched a name that she’d like to see inducted this year.

That’s the best type of relationship and I’m proud to be a member of impact I’m proud to be the longest-tenured roster member at this point and I want to keep it going until the wheels fall off.”

He added that he feels like he has always been treated with respect by the management, and he doesn’t feel like he’s taken for granted.

Edwards has been wrestling for Impact since 2014. In addition to his world title runs, he is a two-time X-Division Champion and a five-time Tag Team Champion.
