In a post on Instagram, he announced he would perform on the December 11 WWE house show from his home state of West Virginia. The live event takes place in Charleston, WV, which is less than a two-hour drive from Noble’s hometown of Hanover, WV. 

Noble officially announced his active in-ring retirement in 2009 due to neck, shoulder, and back injuries, although he returned for a few house shows in 2012 and 2013 before becoming an on-screen role as a member of J&J Security in late 2014 and 2015. 

His previous match took place on the June 8, 2015, edition of WWE Raw, where Noble and Mercury defeated Seth Rollins in a handicap match that night.  Noble wrote the following on Instagram:

KAIRI, formerly known as Kairi Sane, is the first-ever IWGP Women’s Champion.

In the main event of Sunday morning’s NJPW x Stardom Historic X-Over event, she defeated Mayu Iwantani to become the champ. The back and forth match ended when KAIRI defeated Iwatani after hitting the Insane Elbow off the top rope.

Post-match, Iwatani, and KAIRI were emotional while waiting for NJPW president Noaki Sugabayashi to get into the ring to give KAIRI the title as she posed with Bushiroad president Takaai Kiwani.

Tam Nakano came out and challenged KAIRI to a match at Wrestle Kingdom 17, which she accepted. Sane commented on the big win by writing the following on Twitter: 

“Four days before the match, during ring practice, I sprained myself in a flashy fall.
I was told that it would take three weeks for a full recovery, and I almost gave up because it hurt to walk. However, with the support of many people, I was able to fight through the two battles with my willpower. Really really thank you very much.”

How We Got Here

The self-proclaimed TBS Champion Nyla Rose challenged the real AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill at Saturday’s AEW Full Gear pay-per-view event. 

Rose came out with her manager, Vickie Guerrero, in a low rider as a tribute to the late great Eddie Guerrero. Vickie was also wearing WWE’s Rhea Ripley’s new t-shirt, “I’m Mama,’ which is a spinoff of Eddie’s old t-shirt that stated, ‘I’m Papi.’ 

The t-shirt was designed in 2005 during the feud between Eddie and Rey Mysterio over the custody of Dominik, who is now in The Judgment Day faction with Ripley, Finn Balor, and Damian Priest. 

The Shirt

Cargill came out with Thundercats-inspired gear. Before the match got started, Kiera Hogan took a cheap shot at Rose. 

The match did have some clunky spots, but down the stretch, things heated up and both women kicked out after hitting each other’s moves. Nyla hit a senton off the top, but Jade hit the pump kick and her Jaded finisher to retain her title.

Bianca Belair, Asuka, Alexa Bliss, Mia Yim & TBA vs. Bayley, IYO SKY, Dakota Kai, Nikki Cross & Rhea Ripley has been booked in the first-ever Women’s WarGames match on the main roster for next Saturday’s WWE Survivor Series event.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had a legendary wrestling career, but he never got to step in the ring against his dream opponent.

The 10-time world champion shared the ring with some of the industry’s biggest stars, including Steve Austin, Bret Hart, John Cena, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle and countless others. For everything he accomplished in the ring, there’s one Hall of Famer he wishes he could have wrestled.

On Sunday, The Rock posted a photo on Instagram from his famed ‘Iron Paradise’ gym wearing a pair of flashy sunglasses. The shades may remind longtime fans of one Superstar in particular who was the ‘cream of the crop’ during his day.

The Rock & Macho Man Randy Savage

Randy Savage

The Rock says the late “Macho Man” Randy Savage was always his dream match. He would have been honored to share the squared circle with him, but it never came to be.

Johnson was an full-time WWE Superstar from 1996-2004. Savage left WWE and was active in WCW through 2000, but their paths never crossed on television.

Back around 2000-2001, Randy Savage did an interview where he praised The Rock as a ‘general’ of the WWE locker room. “[He’s] a cool dude because of the fact that when he comes into the dressing room, he shakes everybody’s hand, he looks everybody in the eye, he doesn’t stir it up in the dressing room.”

The Rock has paid tribute to Randy Savage before, featuring him on his hit series, Young Rock. As seen below, the Great One remains a big fan of the Macho Man, who is widely considered one of the greatest all-around pro wrestlers in history.

Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay Set for Wrestle Kingdom 17

Kenny Omega continues to make waves in the pro wrestling industry. The former IWGP World heavyweight champion challenged Will Ospreay for a match at Wrestle Kingdom on January 4th.

Immediately following Ospreay’s IWGP United States title defense against Shota Umino, the lights went out inside the Ariake Arena. Moments later, Kenny Omega appeared on a giant screen and took Will Ospreay to task.

Omega sighted that when he left the promotion to join AEW, Ospreay was the man who set to replace him as the top Gaijin (foreigner) in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Omega would go on to antagonize Ospreay, saying that

“The crowds have gotten smaller. We can’t hear them cheering. Oh, that’s because of the pandemic! That’s the line you trot out right? But is it really? You see, there’s only one real virus here. And that’s you Will.”

Two of the Best in the World

Kenny Omega vs Will Ospreay is a topflight dream match Worldwide. The two men have often been compared to one another over the last few years. When Omega mentioned that Ospreay was the performer groomed to replace him when he left New Japan, he wasn’t wrong.

Omega had been considered the best in-ring performer in pro wrestling over the last 2 years of his New Japan career. His last singles match was at Wrestle Kingdom 13. Losing the IWGP World heavyweight title to Hiroshi Tanahashi.

Will Ospreay has arguably taken that metaphorical title over the last couple of years. He put on incredible performances with Omega’s biggest NJPW rival, Kazuchika Okada. Also turning in masterpieces with Shingo Takagi, sparking an enthralling rivalry that traces back to 2019.

The two men recently competed on opposite sides of the ring in AEW. Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks defeated Will Ospreay and Aussie Open in the semifinals of the AEW World Trios championship tournament. A match that was lauded by many in the pro wrestling industry.

Omega and Ospreay have met once before in singles competition. Omega emerged victorious over Ospreay in 2015 at PWG’s “All Star Weekend” event. Both men have matured and grown as wrestlers since that encounter.

Buckle up folks. We are going to open up January 2023 with a match of the year candidate at Wrestle Kingdom 17. Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay are going to tear the house at the Tokyo Dome.

Santino Marella Details Injury That Marked End Of His Wrestling Career

There are some wrestlers who go through a public retirement and get to say goodbye to the fans. However, there are many who just disappear from the public eye for a while and then call it a career. Santino Marella is one such star who never had a proper retirement ceremony and he just settled into the life after WWE. Though, according to the former WWE star himself, he is very content with his run with the company.

The former US champion recently had an interview with The A2theK Wrestling Show. Among other things he was asked what led to his retirement from wrestling. Marella revealed that he had a double cervical fusion surgery. Unfortunately, his neck didn’t heal as expected, leading to the end of his full time wrestling career:

“It was my neck surgery. So I had my first cervical fusion. I had a double cervical fusion right off the bat. The goal was to come back and then a few months after, they noticed that one of the screws was coming out. Then at the end, at the three-month mark, one screw had completely come out, and one had come halfway out.

So they had to go back in and take out the titanium. I think going back in the second time, kind of messed things up, cutting through the scared tissue. I just never got well enough to a point where I can come back and wrestle on a full-time basis. I can have a match here and there, but to do it properly, on a full time.”

‘It Was All Good’: Santino Marella

After not having made any TV appearances since the previous December, the Canadian Star was released from his WWE contract in May 2016. This marked the unofficial end of his full-time career in wrestling. Though Santino Marella is not bitter about how things ended. He explained that while he did try to rehab his neck for a couple years after his surgery, he is content with how his WWE career turned out to be:

“To be honest, I was kind of over it. I just wanted to come home a little bit. I opened up Battle Arts Academy in 2013. I actually retired in 2016. So, the last two years was me trying to get back in shape. Not physically, my neck and my back, to get back in shape to be able to come back and perform but it just never happened. It was all good.

I had a very full life before WWE and I’ve had a very full life after WWE. It was a great chapter. Absolutely an incredible chapter. Up until the point that I retired, it was a quarter of my life, right? It’s funny, It’s not even my most recent chapter. Next year, 2023 – Battles Arts is having its 10-year anniversary. Then the last four years I have had this new family. That’s my most recent chapter. So wrestling’s kind of a few chapters back now.”

AEW Star Says Interim Titles Are ‘Bulls**t’

AEW’s insistence on keeping the Women’s Title on Thunder Rosa despite her prolonged absence has been a matter of debate among people in recent times. Shawn Spears, for one, has made his stand on the matter very clear.

The former Pinnacle member took on his Twitter to comment on the arrangement of interim champions. He shared the belief that you should either be a full-time champion or not be a champion at all:

AEW has always had the policy of crowning an interim champion if any of the belt holders get injured or have to take time off for any reason.

The absence of the AEW Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa, however, has been a controversial affair since the start. Some female talents of the company have accused her of faking the injury to avoid dropping the title.

She has also been away from the ring the longest among all the reigning champions who have taken a break from the promotion. This is why many fans believe that Rosa should be stripped of the title.

Jamie Hayter became the new Interim Women’s Champion by defeating Toni Storm at Full Gear. AEW President Tony Khan was asked about striping Rosa of the title during the post show media scrum. He said that he will make a decision once the timeline for Thunder Rosa’s recovery becomes clearer.

What do you think about AEW’s decision to keep the women’s title on Thunder Rosa? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Swerve in Our Glory Splits Up at AEW Full Gear 2022

Swerve in Our Glory appears to be done for good after failing to capture the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Full Gear 2022.

On AEW’s latest big event, Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee faced off against The Acclaimed, who won the titles from Swerve in Our Glory at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam.

This match marked The Acclaimed’s third title defense and the first championship opportunity for Swerve in Our Glory since losing the titles in September of this year.

The Split

Despite appearing to be on the same page at first, issues began in the match when the team disagreed over whether to put a piece of barricade on the ring apron.

Lee had to save his partner from being put through it, then was sent crashing through it himself by The Acclaimed.

When The Acclaimed went for their tandem finisher, Anthony Bowens’ arm gave out, and Lee cleaned house.

When Strickland told Lee to use the pliers on Bowens, the big man said no, and Strickland slapped the Limitless One.

Irate, Keith Lee helped Bowens up and walked out of the match, and The Acclaimed would hit their tandem finisher to get the win.

The Build

In the run-up to AEW Full Gear, there had been tension within Swerve in Our Glory, which reached its boiling point on the Pay-Per-View.

The two have been noticeably at odds for months, and many fans have been predicting a split for some time.

The now former tag team is expected to feud immediately on AEW programming, though it is difficult to say if they will have a Pay-Per-View match at AEW’s next major event Revolution in March 2023.

Tony Khan Addresses CM Punk/Colt Cabana Debacle At Full Gear Media Scrum

Tony Khan has addressed the Colt Cabana/CM Punk debacle that led to the biggest controversy in AEW history with the All Out Brawl.

The AEW President was asked about it during the post Full Gear media scrum, and he confirmed that the Straight Edge Star never asked Colt Cabana to be removed from AEW programming:

“No. No, he never asked for that. The first time it came up, I think you asked me on a scrum call and I wasn’t looking at you face to face, it was before Death Before Dishonor, I think. He never asked me that.”

Addressing Colt Cabana’s return match against Chris Jericho, TK mentioned how he had been using him as a ROH coach and talent. So it made sense for him to challenge Jericho for the ROH title:

“I’ve been using Colt Cabana both as a coach and a wrestler in Ring of Honor. I looked at the roster and he’s a very logical challenger because, not only has he held the Ring of Honor Tag Team Championship, but he’s also somebody who has been wrestling in the 2022 Ring of Honor, is undefeated, so I thought he would be a logical challenger for Chris. It’s also a good match,”

It’s widely believed that Tony Khan decided not to re-sign Colt Cabana due to his issues with CM Punk. After the intervention from The Elite, Khan offered Cabana a position in ROH. This is believed to be one of the major causes of the animosity between the AEW EVPs and Punk, which led to the backstage fight at All Out.

With the investigation into the backstage fight at AEW All Out 2022 concluded, it appears that those working for the company are now able to address it.

After an explosive media scrum in which CM Punk bashed The Elite, Colt Cabana and ‘Hangman’ Adam Page, a fight broke out backstage between The Elite against Punk and Ace Steel.

In response, Tony Khan suspended all parties involved with the fight, though everyone except Punk and Steel has since been brought back.

Jim Ross

This week’s AEW Full Gear marked the first match for the Elite since the controversy at All Out.

Taking on the Death Triangle, the match saw Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks challenge for the AEW Trios titles they had been stripped of following All Out.

On commentary, JR made reference to the backstage fight, saying:

“They are going to settle this behind closed doors in a locker room or something.”

Jim Ross.

The Death Triangle retained their titles at Full Gear, after Rey Fenix used a ring-bell hammer to escape from Omega’s One-Winged Angel finisher.

Tony Khan

After the controversy at AEW All Out, Tony Khan was adamantly against speaking about the matter, given that it was under investigation at the time.

With that investigation resolved, even Khan has addressed what happened, saying on the Full Gear press conference that he had no idea about what Punk was going to say at All Out.

While Punk’s AEW status is currently unclear, many expect that his deal will be bought out and he will be released by the promotion.

Maxwell Jacob Friedman battled Jon Moxley in the main event of AEW Full Gear 2022 for the AEW World Championship.

MJF knocked down the referee and pulled the Dynamite Diamond Ring from his trunks. William Regal marched down the entrance ramp and scolded Maxwell. MJF threw the ring to the floor before Regal betrayed Moxley.

Regal slid MJF the brass knuckles and he punched Jon in the head with them to become the new AEW World Champion.

  • 5 Opponents for AEW World Champion MJF

After the PPV, AEW held a media scrum and the new AEW World Champion interrupted Tony Khan.

MJF hobbled around and cut a promo. He quoted CM Punk’s “nobody can touch me” line and said he’s the best wrestler in the world.

  • 11 Best Moments from AEW Full Gear 2022

The times they are a-changin’. Wait your turn baby, people pay to see me not you. Lets talk, shall we?

AEW is now destination television once again. The ship has been steered properly, once again!

This belt is now the most important belt in this entire sport. It states the three letters, damn sure ain’t AEW, I know for a mother f*cking fact it ain’t Mox. Its MJF!

Damn you people are dumb. You morons bit on every word I had to say this past couple of months, huh?

I want to earn it. F*ck that. I deserve it because I’m the best wrestler in the f*cking world! And every single one of you know it.

On the microphone, in the ring, nobody can touch me. That is a fact. Nobody is on my level.

To think you guys still believe me when I put over this mother f*cker (points to Tony Khan) this past Wednesday. Grow the f*ck up. No offense.

Maxwell then told everyone that if they want to know why he aligned with William Regal, they have to tune into the “MJF Show” on TBS every Wednesday night.

“And you now damn well that it is now destination TV.”

He boasted about going to a movie set tomorrow and didn’t accept any questions from the media before walking away.

Jon Moxley was comforted by his Blackpool Combat Club teammates after Full Gear went off of the air, moments after he lost the AEW World Championship to MJF.

Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta hit the ring after the match. Moxley is seen coming to and angrily reacting as the other BCC members inform him of the betrayal of William Regal, who tossed MJF his trademark brass knuckles. MJF struck Moxley and pinned him for the victory to become the new AEW World Champion.

Moxley then seems to come to terms with the events of the night, and he and the three other members all hugged Moxley. The crowd had a “Thank you Mox” chant as well. He reportedly threw a chair to the ground and left through the crowd.

Moxley has been rumored to be taking a break after Full Gear. His initial vacation was pushed back after the events of the previous post-event presser. However, it remains what will happen to BCC after Regal’s betrayal.

“F*** CM Punk” – Fans support The Elite at AEW Full Gear 2022

CM Punk once called himself the Voice of the Voiceless, speaking up for fans. Well, those fans made their voices heard at last night’s AEW Full Gear Pay-Per-View.

Punk hasn’t been seen on AEW programming since his infamous All Out post-show media scrum in September, which was followed by a backstage fight with The Elite.

With the investigation into the backstage fight over, it is believed the results have condemned Punk, who is expected to depart the promotion.

The Voice of the Voiceless

CM Punk wasn’t at last night’s AEW Full Gear Pay-Per-View, but The Elite made their in-ring return on the show.

In their first match back, the trio of Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks challenged for the AEW Trios titles, which they had won at All Out.

The Elite had been stripped of the titles due to the backstage fight, which were won by the Death Triangle on the following AEW Dynamite.

During the much-anticipated six-man-tag at Full Gear, fans made their voices heard, chanting “F**k CM Punk!” during the opening moments.

Tony Schiavone, acknowledging the chant, called the crowd “lively” and “salty” while Taz made note that the show was in New Jersey.

The Death Triangle would retain the titles, after Rey Fenix used PAC’s weapon of choice the ring-bell hammer, to escape Omega’s One Winged Angel.

On Twitter, Punk’s former best friend Colt Cabana reacted, saying he was chanting for The Elite in the match.

Punk mocked Cabana during the All Out media scrum, claiming that Colt shares a bank account with his mother.

CM Punk’s Next Move

With CM Punk’s name in the metaphorical dirt in AEW, it appears that his time with the promotion is about to come to an end.

It has been reported that AEW is attempting to buy out Punk’s contract and release him, with the roster reportedly refusing to work with him if he’s brought back.

Despite the belief that WWE will be the only option that can pay his high asking price, the reception within WWE to Punk possibly returning hasn’t been much warmer.

Saraya Says Baker “Carried” Her Through the Whole Feud

After her first match back in five years, Saraya had high praise for her first opponent in Britt Baker.

“She carried me through the whole thing”

Saraya joined the post-Full Gear media scrum and was effusive in her praise for Baker. She said, quite bluntly, that, “Britt carried me through the whole thing.” She said she thought they had a really good in-ring promo during the build to the match, and credited Baker for her work.

Baker was also tasked with giving the go-home promo on Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite, helping to put the final sell on the personal feud and Saraya’s return match.

Saraya defeated Baker after hitting her finisher, the elevated DDT that used to be called the Ram-Paige in WWE. She survived a Lockjaw attempt and went over clean.

Even though it’s only been one match, it stands to reason that Saraya’s star power immediately put her in line for a title shot at new AEW Interim Women’s Champion Jamie Hayter, who is also associated with Baker. Regardless, this is probably not the last time Saraya will meet Baker.

Tony Khan revealed the date and venue of 2023’s Revolution pay-per-view to kick off the post-Full Gear media scrum.

Date and venue of Revolution 2023

Khan announced, in response to the first question, to confirm or reveal where Revolution would be held. He let everyone know that it’s confirmed for the Chase Center in San Francisco. According to the Wrestling Observer, the date is set for March 5th.

The upcoming Revolution show will be the fourth iteration of the pay-per-view. The first show in 2020 just before the COVID-19 pandemic caused a shutdown is best remembered for the Adam Page and Kenny Omega vs. The Young Bucks match. 2021’s show is infamous for the botched ending to Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley’s “Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch.” This year’s show had the CM Punk and MJF Dog Collar match.

The road to Revolution now begins with a new AEW World Champion after MJF won the title in the main event of Full Gear – thanks to the help of William Regal. MJF is the youngest AEW World Champion and only the sixth titleholder in its history.

MJF was the man to dethrone Jon Moxley as the AEW World Heavyweight Champion as he became the top champ in the main event of this year’s AEW Full Gear pay-per-view event.

The match had a slow build for it. MJF with a tombstone to Moxley on the ring apron and MJF sold his left knee. Moxley hit a piledriver off the apron through the table. MJF knocked Moxley off the top rope and hit the paradigm shift off the top rope for a near fall. 

There were two referee bumps. William Regal talked MJF out of using the diamond ring. Moxley had MJF tapping out to a sleeper but the first referee didn’t see it. MJF got brass knuckles from Regal and hit Moxley to win the match.

At the conclusion of the October 18th edition Dynamite following Moxley’s win over Hangman Page to retain the title, MJF teased cashing in his Casino ladder match chip that gives him a shot at the title at any time but chose not to. He won the clip at All Out thanks to hiring The Firm. MJF cut a promo about how he wanted Moxley at 110% with no excuses and didn’t want any doubt that he was better than him when he beat him for the title. 

MJF and Moxley have competed against each other once before in AEW as they met at 2020’s All Out where the stakes were the same with Moxley successfully defending the World Title. Moxley gave MJF his first singles loss in the company.

Swerve In Our Glory (Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland) attempted to regain the AEW Tag Team Titles from The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens) at the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view event.

The match was a typical tag team format before everyone started doing moves in the ring with some legal and some not. Caster with a hurricanrana then a leg drop off the top rope to Lee. Caster with a crossbody off the top rope to Lee off the apron through part of the barricade. Swerve wanted Lee to smash Bowens’ finger, but he refused. Swerve slapped him and Lee walked out on him.  The Acclaimed won with their finisher.

This was the third match between them. The first bout at All Out, which saw Swerve In Our Glory retain the titles, a surprising finish as many fans expected to see a title change. 

The rematch took place when The Acclaimed beat Swerve In Our Glory for the titles at the Dynamite: Grand Slam event in September from New York City.

Lee and Strickland became the champions on the July 13th edition of Dynamite when they beat then-champions The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) and Team Taz (Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks) in a triple threat match.

AEW made the match official on the November 2nd edition of Dynamite. This marked the second singles meeting this year between Storm and Hayter as they last squared off in May in the first round of the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament where Storm defeated Hayter in a first round match on the May 11 Dynamite. 

Storm won the Interim Women’s Title at All Out by beating Hayter, Britt Baker, and Hikaru Shida in a fatal 4-way bout at All Out, which was originally slated to feature Storm challenging Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa. However, Rosa is currently on the sidelines with a back injury.

On the November 9th edition of Dynamite, Saraya confirmed he has been 100% cleared, saying that AEW was her house.

Saraya noted that she fought tough battles publicly and has been wrestling for far longer than Baker. 

Saraya accused Baker of getting every opportunity handed to her by AEW President Tony Khan. Saraya ended the segment by announcing the match for Full Gear.

It’s been a big year for Steve Austin as he returned for his first wrestling match in almost twenty years, facing Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38, and has the chance to agree to another one if he’s up for it. 

Austin went Owens in a No DQ Match from AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. In recent weeks, there has been more smoke to the fire as WWE has reached out to Stone Cold about potentially competing in another match and made him an offer, likely for WrestleMania 39. 

At the same time, Austin has been posting videos of himself working out on social media. In an Instagram video, Austin noted that he isn’t doing this for any other reason than self-improvement because he got tired of how he looked, so he took action. 

Steve Austin’s Explanation

Stone Cold Steve Austin

“People have been speculating, ‘Hey Steve, what are you doing? What are you training for? Are you training for an event?’ I just simply looked in the mirror and realized I look like shit so I called my diet coach up and my macros are currently, give or take, roughly around 2650 calories 300-320 grams of protein, 150 grams of carbs on a regular day, will spike at 420 on a load up. I still drink beer on Friday nights. Get 3 Broken Skull IPAs and that’s pretty much it. I’m probably, as far as body weight goes, sub-232, the leanest I’ve been in forever. Anyway, I’m out. I just got tired of looking In the mirror, I got tired of looking like shit, so I’m taking action to do something about it. I gotta go. Catch you down the road.”
