Former WWE Writer Says Bryan Danielson is “Under-Serviced” in AEW

Bryan Danielson debuted in All Elite Wrestling last year at AEW All Out and most fans thought he’d have a title run with the company by now.

Former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. hasn’t been a fan of Danielson’s run in All Elite Wrestling and shared his opinion on the Wrestling with Freddie podcast. Freddie stated that Danielson has lost more matches than he has needed to lose and has been under-serviced as far as character development.

Bryan Danielson has been under-serviced as far as character development and story goes. I feel like he has been under-serviced in his matches.

I feel like he’s lost more matches than he’s needed to lose. I feel like his motivation for wrestling hasn’t been written as well as it could be written.

It’s become a part of his backstage interviews, where there is a little bit of people questioning his motivation and not his toughness, so to speak, but just his reasoning and rational, and this son-of-a-bitch has had enough.

H/T: Wrestling Inc

Danielson debuted at All Out 2021 after Kenny Omega defeated Christian Cage in the main event to retain the AEW World Championship. Adam Cole had made his debut minutes earlier and aligned with Kenny Omega and The Elite.

Danielson went on to have feuds with Kenny Omega and Hangman Page for the AEW World Championship but came up just short. Bryan also reached the finals of the Tournament of Champions this year at Dynamite: Grand Slam at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York.

He battled his stablemate in the Blackpool Combat Club for the vacant AEW World Championship in the finals but once again came up on the losing end of a title match. Danielson remained persistent and challenged Chris Jericho for the ROH Championship on Dynamite then AEW visited Toronto on October 12th.

Once again, it wasn’t meant to be for Danielson and he lost another title match. Danielson and Jericho were in a war over Daniel Garcia and whether he was a sports entertainer or a wrestler.

Daniel Garcia ultimately decided he was a sports entertainer, betrayed Danielson and re-joined the Jericho Appreciation Society. Jericho will defend the ROH Championship against Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, and Sammy Guevara in a 4-Way match at AEW Full Gear on November 19th.

Omos battled Braun Strowman yesterday at WWE Crown Jewel. The premium live event took place in Mrsool Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

  • 9 Best Moments from WWE Crown Jewel 2022

Omos is typically accompanied to the ring by MVP but he was not allowed to be at the event. Braun Strowman hit MVP with several Running Powerslams on this past Friday’s edition of SmackDown as a way to write MVP off of the premium live event in Saudi Arabia.

MVP Could have Faced the Death Penalty for Attending WWE Crown Jewel 2022

Omos dominated the majority of the match and towered over Braun Strowman. However, the Monster of All Monsters battled back as the crowd got behind him. Strowman showed off his incredible strength and somehow was able to lift the Nigerian Giant up for a Powerslam to pick up the pinfall victory.

WWE Pleased with Omos’ Progression

Omos has had an interesting career in WWE thus far. He was the bouncer during the RAW Underground segments and has now established himself as a force on the main roster.

According to Mike Johnson of PW Insider, WWE management was “really happy” with the Crown Jewel premium live event. Several sources within the company praised Omos for his work against Braun Strowman at the premium live event and are happy with the progress he has been making as of late.

Omos’ manager MVP took to Twitter earlier today and scolded fans for comparing Omos to Giant Gonzalez and The Great Khali. MVP suggested fans that made those comparisons step on a LEGO while barefoot.

The Nigerian Giant’s opponent at Crown Jewel, WWE Superstar Braun Strowman, recently sent out a tweet that annoyed many of today’s wrestlers. You can check out the tweet and their reaction in the link below.

Popular YouTuber & boxer Jake Paul made a surprising appearance last night during WWE Crown Jewel.

His brother, Logan Paul, challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of the premium live event. During the match, The Usos made their way to the ring and attacked the co-hosts of Logan’s Impaulsive podcast.

Jake Paul came down the entrance ramp to his own music and knocked Jimmy & Jey out of the ring. Solo Sikoa joined the party and Logan hit him with a dive over the ropes.

The Tribal Chief capitalized on the distractions and hit Logan with a Superman Punch, followed by a Spear for the pinfall victory. After the match, Logan announced that he suffered a major injury on social media.

Is Jake Paul WWE Bound?

Many fans have speculated that Jake will be appearing in WWE more often following Crown Jewel but there is nothing concrete yet. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, there is a lot of mutual interest to do something together then the time is right but nothing is official yet.

During an interview following Crown Jewel, Jake was asked if he was going to pursue a WWE career in the future.

For sure. Why not? That was so much fun and I know we can take it a long way. I loved it. I loved everything about it. Everyone here, everyone in the WWE was super nice and super helpful. It seems like an amazing company to be a part of.

Braun Strowman battled Omos last night at WWE Crown Jewel and picked up the victory in impressive fashion.

Omos dominated The Monster of All Monsters for the majority of the match but Strowman wouldn’t stay down. Braun showed off his incredible strength and lifted Omos up for the Running Powerslam for the pinfall victory. MVP did not travel to Saudi Arabia for the premium live event after Strowman beat him down on SmackDown.

Earlier today, Braun Strowman took to Twitter and tweeted out a message that annoyed a lot of wrestlers. Strowman poked fun at the “flippy” wrestlers and boasted about being a large man.

Holy hell@TheGiantOmos can you believe we got 47and reminded the people that no one cares about all these floppy floppers. Giants and Monster > flippy flipper bag your grocery’s at @kroger #AirportTest #SizeIsThePrize #SwoleIsTheGoal

Former Intercontinental Champion Ricochet responded with the following caption “just don’t ask him to stand on a scale or he’ll threaten to sue you hahaha”.

NJPW’s Will Ospreay retweeted Braun’s post and wondered why Braun is so angry about people earning money doing the same job as him.

Why you so mad about making money? It’s dead funny that you actually done such a great job and yet you’re mad at other people that do the same job as you. Relax my guy, just say you really enjoyed showing super heavyweight wrestling

Mustafa Ali noted that Braun Strowman was fired previously and asked if The Monster of All Monsters can teach him about that. Braun wondered if Ali works in catering now and Mustafa said that he doesn’t but joked that he just cooked Strowman.

ROH World Champion Chris Jericho responded that he used to bag groceries. Braun responded by spelling “too” incorrectly and claimed that he made tips while doing the job.

The 39-year-old has since responded to his brothers and sisters in the locker room and asked everyone in the internet wrestling community to take a joke.

Yo yo all my brothers and sisters in the locker room no matter where you came from. I have mad respect. We have all worked very hard to be where we are. And all are here for a reason. Take a joke iwc. Y’all come at me none stop and the second I fire back y’all melt.

Is The Rock Head of the Table? Not According to Solo Sikoa

Who is the real ‘Head of the Table?’ The Rock or Roman Reigns?

Both men come from the esteemed Anoa’I wrestling family and are arguably the two most successful wrestlers from the dynasty.

The Head of The Table

Roman Reigns has spent the past two years claiming to be Head of the Table, but The Rock recently laid claim to that moniker.

Speaking to The Rundown last month, The Rock made it clear who he considered the be the pinnacle member of their family.

“Who is head of the table? Without saying any names, you’re looking into his eyes right now

Dwayne Johnson.

WWE Superstar Solo Sikoa isn’t impressed by the Brahma Bull’s comments, and made it clear to Republic World who he feels is in charge (via eWrestlingNews.)

“He is not here in WWE so I don’t know what table he is talking about, there are other tables in the family. I don’t know if he got a pick specifically on which table he is talking about.

“I know Roman is head of our table, that’s the table I said. But you know when the time presents itself man, rock and roll, that’ll be something cool to see down the road.”

Solo Sikoa.

The Rock Vs. Roman Reigns – Will it Happen?

With both The Rock and Reigns claiming to be Head of the Table, many assume a match between the two will happen.

It is believed that The Rock could challenge his cousin at WrestleMania 39 given that the show will take place in Los Angeles.

The Rock is one of the busiest stars in Hollywood, but his filming schedule is suspiciously free for the first quarter of 2023.

With that said, Brian Gewirtz recently reminded fans that The Rock is kicking off his XFL league in early 2023, which will also keep him busy.

Jon Moxley Says He Was Afraid of Dying in the Ring Last Year

Jon Moxley had a topsy-turvy 2021. He became a father in the summer, and later in the year, admitted himself into an inpatient alcohol treatment program.

In a recent interview with his hometown Cincinnati Inquirer, Moxley openly admitted he was afraid of dying in the ring.

“Over a year ago, I was afraid of dying of a seizure in the ring,” Moxley said. “I had that on my mind every day. It was all (messed) up, and going through an absolute personal hell for a long time that nobody else even knew about.

“When you’re scared for your actual life, to make the decision to go to rehab and (stuff) was basically – I had to basically assume I’m giving everything away. I was like, OK, I’m either going to live a long, happy life and raise my kid and be a person, or I can wrestle. But I can’t have both.”

  • 5 Reasons Jon Moxley is AEW’s MVP for 2022

Jon Moxley’s Rise Back to Prominence

Jon Moxley

Moxley returned from rehab a new man, both in and outside of the ring. With renewed focus, he became a 3-time AEW World Champion.

Initially, Moxley was wondering if the AEW fan base would be disappointed or upset with him for taking time off. He would soon learn that wasn’t the case.

“But when I got out, it turned out that nobody was mad at me at all,” Moxley stated. “Everybody was very happy. I was welcomed back by AEW and by the fans, and it was just like, go and get back to it. And when you’ve already lost everything, all you fear for is your life, literally and figuratively.

“If I had taken another step in the wrong direction, I could have been on the verge of losing my family if I had gone that way. If I had kept going in another direction, I could have died on live television. I could have literally lost everything. So to make that choice, I had to completely give away everything.

“I’ll never wrestle in this arena again, I’ll never get to wrestle in front of these fans again, I’ll never get to be on TV again, I’ll never win a championship again, I’ll never make any money again, I’ll go back and get my old job at the arena – I don’t know. I had to give it all away.”

Upon CM Punk’s initial departure from AEW in June due to injury, Moxley was crowned world champion and admirably held the belt all summer long without missing a beat. Then, he retained the belt against Punk in a very quick match on Dynamite upon Punk’s return, only to lose it to Punk at AEW’s All Out PPV. And we all know what happened after that.

Regaining the title for a third-time following Punk’s second departure from the company, Moxley continues to be the heart, soul and flag bearer for the promotion.

Jon Moxley will defend his AEW World championship vs. MJF at Full Gear on Saturday, November 19th. SEScoops will have full coverage of the PPV and all of the events leading up to it, so make sure you keep it tuned here.

Triple H Has ‘An Idea’ On Who Would End Roman Reigns’ Title Run (Report)

Roman Reigns is on a historic run as the WWE Universal Champion and he has been on the top for almost 800 days. The big question everyone has in mind at this stage of his historic reign is who will finally defeat The Tribal Chief for WWE’s top prize. It appears that Triple H finally has an answer to it.

Louis Dangoor of GiveMeSport recently tweeted about the situation. He noted that while Vince was only focused on Reigns’ run as the champion, The Game has an idea on how to conclude the unprecedented reign.

WrestleVotes Twitter account, which has broken several stories in the past added to the story of Dangoor. They claimed that there are guys that would support the idea:

“They have an idea of who is going to beat Roman. I don’t know specifically if it’s Cody. I don’t know if it’s The Rock. I don’t know if it’s Bray. But I think there’s a handful of guys that they would say ‘alright, this makes sense for future.’ But I don’t think it’s happening anytime soon, to be honest with you.”

https://twitter.com/TheLouisDangoor/status/1589274496149905408

Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre and Bray Wyatt are some of the names that fans have discussed as potential opponents who can dethrone Roman Reigns. The Rock’s name has obviously been in the mix for a while as well but a lot of people believe that instead of the 50-year-old it should be someone whose career could benefit from the win.

Who do you think should defeat Roman Reigns and become the next WWE Universal Champion? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

AEW Star Deletes Tweet About Quitting the Company

AEW star Andrade El Idolo deleted a recent tweet stating that he would rather quit the company than be fired.

Andrade El Idolo has quietly stayed out of the limelight after being sent home on October 5th after a backstage altercation with Sammy Guevara. Having spent nearly a month away from AEW, Andrade celebrated a birthday on the fourth of November.

As a sarcastic gesture, he thanked AEW for the birthday wishes. Even though the official Twitter account did not wish El Idolo a happy birthday on social media.

Will Andrade return to AEW soon?

Following up on the deleted tweet, a fan responded, questioning why Andrade would want a message from the company he seemingly dislikes? Andrade El Idolo retorted.

“Look man, I’m a man and if I wanted them to fire me, I’d quit and I’ve never done it.”

FgwCAYcXEAAwCLn

We’ve seen Andrade’s stablemate Rush featured on TV, as he will be apart of the AEW World title eliminator tournament starting on Dynamite this Wednesday. The question to ask here is: Will El Idolo return to AEW in the near future?

The mystery remains unsolved as AEW President and owner Tony Khan hasn’t said a word about Andrade since the incident. El Idolo himself had been mum on this topic until his deleted tweet.

We at SEScoops will continue to update you on the situation as it unfolds.

Canceled Event Forces WWE to Change Plans for Top Feud

WWE has been force to rethink its plans for one of the company’s top ongoing storylines.

Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley have been feuding on television for almost a year. The rivalry has been underway for far longer than that, as Lashley has been calling out The Beast Incarnate since 2017.

The two heavyweights have now wrestled twice in a WWE ring. Lashley defeated Lesnar for the WWE Champion at January’s Royal Rumble. Lesnar scored a victory over Lashley at Crown Jewel. It was a heated contest that could have gone either way.

Plans for Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley

With each man holding a win over the other, fans are wondering when we’ll see the rubber match. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE planned for the 3rd fight to go down at the WWE Day 1 premium live event originally scheduled for January 1st from Atlanta, GA.

That show has since been canceled. WWE will host a non-televised live event from Atlanta during Christmas week, but the next Day 1 event won’t be happening any time soon.

It remains to be seen if/when WWE will pull the trigger on a third match between Lesnar and Lashley. The split results of first two matches raises the stakes next time around.

WWE’s next premium live event will be the Survivor Series, followed by the 2023 Royal Rumble. Survivor Series could be an ideal setting for Lesnar vs. Lashley 3, but that depends what else WWE had in store for Lesnar in the months ahead.

We’ll see if WWE is still interested in telling the final chapter of the Lesnar vs. Lashley feud, or if Lesnar transitions to a higher-profile WrestleMania program early next year.

Roman Reigns and Logan Paul put on an epic in the main event of last night’s WWE Crown Jewel 2022 Premium Live Event.

In what is Paul’s third professional wrestling match, the YouTuber proved he could hold his own against the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

The near-25-minute match saw appearances by the Bloodline and Jake Paul before Reigns retained after a Superman punch and a Spear.

Producers

The Reigns Vs. Paul match was a bout worthy of the main event, and saw some of WWE’s veterans working behind the scenes.

Michael P.S. Hayes was a producer for the match, alongside ‘Hurricane’ Shane Helms.

Helms had been training with Paul ahead of the match, and both he and Drew Gulak (another trainer for the Maverick) appeared in an interview on the WWE Crown Jewel kick-off show.

Other Matches

PW Insider also reports that Hayes produced the Brock Lesnar Vs. Bobby Lashley opener, alongside Jason Jordan.

The WWE Women’s Tag Titles match which pitted Alexa Bliss and Asuka against Dakota Kai was produced by Petey Williams.

Williams was also on hand to produce the Raw Women’s Championship Last Woman Standing match which saw Bianca Belair retain her title against Bayley.

Drew McIntyre’s steel cage match victory over Karrion Kross was produced by Chris Park, aka Abyss from Impact Wrestling, who also produced the Tag Title match between the Usos and the Brawling Brutes.

Braun Strowman Vs. Omos was produced by Adam Pearce.

Damian Priest Passed on Being Managed by Another Wrestler’s Wife in NXT

Damian Priest passed on the opportunity to be managed by Scarlett during both star’s tenures as part of the WWE NXT brand.

After making his name in Ring of Honor as Punishment Martinez, Priest joined WWE in 2018 and captured the NXT North American Championship in August 2020.

The Archer of Infamy has had similar success on the main roster, becoming the WWE United States Champion at Summerslam 2021.

Manager

Priest can nowadays be seen alongside his fellow Judgment Day members but WWE once planned for him to be managed by Scarlett.

Fightful Select reports that when NXT jumped to the USA Network in late 2019, plans were made to introduce Scarlett to TV.

The plan for the ‘Smokeshow’ to manage Priest dated as far back as September that year, and sources said that some in WWE thought the act was going to make it to TV up until the week it was nixed.

Priest reportedly felt the idea was not a good fit for him and passed on the spot.

Had he gone ahead with the plan, Priest and Scarlett would have been on NXT as a unit within the first few weeks of NXT on the USA Network.

Scarlett and Kross

After Priest passed on the idea, Scarlett’s character was put on the back burner, as Kross had not signed with WWE at that time.

Once WWE knew for sure he would be signing, plans were put in place for the real-life couple to be paired on-screen.

Those that spoke to Fightful said that everything worked out better for all involved.

Kross and Scarlett were released in November 2021 but returned to WWE in July this year.

Top WWE Star Was Extremely Sick Before Brutal Crown Jewel Match

Drew McIntyre was able to defeat Karrion Kross at the recent WWE Crown Jewel event but had to fight off more than the former NXT Champion and Scarlett.

In the third match on the card, McIntyre defeated Kross in a Steel Cage match, escaping over the top of the structure before Kross escaped through the door.

This match follows on from Kross getting the win at last month’s WWE Extreme Rules event in a Strap Match.

Feeling Sick

McIntyre was able to overcome both Kross and Scarlett (who maced him during the match) but also had to overcome a severe case of flu. The former WWE Champion had been “extremely sick” over the last several days before the show, according to PWInsider.

McIntyre gutted through his cage match, and was said to be “adamant” that the match go ahead despite his illness.

This isn’t the first time McIntyre has health with illness, as he was pulled from a WWE Live event in September due to “bad food poisoning.”

Despite the food poisoning, the Scottish Warrior still appeared on that week’s SmackDown.

What’s next?

In a backstage post-match interview, McIntyre said he was closing the book on Kross and bringing their feud to an end.

That may be easier said than done, given that the finish of the match was far from clean.

McIntyre did not pin Kross during their match, and the final moments of the bout saw Scarlett struggle to unlock the door to allow her husband to escape.

It is entirely possible that this feud could be extended to a rubber match given that both men have one PLE victory each.

MVP Could have Faced the Death Penalty for Attending WWE Crown Jewel 2022

WWE Superstar MVP risked facing the death penalty had he appeared at last night’s WWE Crown Jewel event.

Before the show went live, it was reported that MVP would not be at the event, which saw Braun Strowman defeat his client ‘the Nigerian Giant’ Omos.

MVP has been aligned with Omos since the Raw after WrestleMania 38, when he turned on Bobby Lashley.

Punishments

MVP did not attend WWE Crown Jewel 2022 due to the very serious issues his presence in Saudi Arabia would have brought.

Fightful Select reports that MVP didn’t make the show as he is a former Muslim, but now considers himself an atheist.

In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the renouncing of Islam by a Muslim is a serious offense and is punishable by death.

While there have been no confirmed executions for this reason since 2011, the possibility of extrajudicial executions still remains.

A Gallup poll taken in 2017 found that 19% of Saudis asked considered themselves non-religious while 5% call themselves atheists.

MVP changed his name from Alvin Antonio Burke Jr. to Hassan Hamin Assad after converting to Islam during a nine-and-a-half-year prison sentence for armed robbery and kidnapping.

WWE’s Saudi Controversy

WWE held its first Saudi show in 2018 and the lucrative deal between the two remains a source of controversy.

Initially, the shows did not allow any women to appear, though that has since changed.

There were calls for WWE to cancel their 2018 Crown Jewel event in the wake of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, allegedly at the request of the Saudi royals.

In 2019, talent were delayed after that year’s Crown Jewel, which many believe was due to WWE cutting off the broadcast in Saudi Arabia, allegedly as the Saudi royals had not paid for the show.

An official statement explained the issue as “aircraft problems including mechanical issues,” and the flights were later allowed to leave.

WWE Superstar Xavier Woods is a part of the beta for the upcoming Street Fighter game. AEW star Kenny Omega is as well and they will clash in an upcoming video, presumably on Woods’ UpUpDownDown channel.

Woods and Kenny Omega have battled several times in Street Fighter in years past and will do so again this year. Xavier took to Twitter and shared a clip of Kenny Omega accepting a challenge for a battle in Street Fighter beta.

During the video, Omega told Woods that he is “biting off more than you can chew”.

Xavier Woods then responded that Kenny Omega is one to talk about biting.

You’re one to talk about biting…

The former AEW Champion told Woods that the joke was too soon and suggested that the New Day member have some class.

Too soon, man. Have some class, why dontcha?!

Kenny Omega was reportedly bitten by Ace Steel during AEW Brawl Out, the media scrum following the All Out PPV on September 4th. CM Punk had just captured the AEW World Championship for the 2nd time and went on an epic rant in between taking bites of a muffin.

Punk claimed that the AEW EVPs couldn’t manage a target, Hangman Page was empty-headed, and Colt Cabana shared a bank account with his mother in a rant that will always have a special place in wrestling history.

Paul however, managed to not only hang on with The Tribal Chief but he somehow made people believe for a while that he might actually pull off the impossible.

WWE Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair put her championship on the line once again against Bayley, but this time it was at the WWE Crown Jewel premium live event from Saudi Arabia in a Last Woman Standing Match. 

The match was saved as the co-main event. Various weapons were used, including chairs, steel steps, and kendo sticks. Bayley smashed Belair with the steps while having her pinned up against the ring.

Bayley hit a belly-to-belly suplex on the stage then put her in an equipment crate, but Belair popped out. Bayley drove a golf cart out and they brawled on it.

History

Belair won the meeting between the two in a ladder match at Extreme Rules to retain her title.  Bayley defeated Belair in a non-title match on this week’s Raw after interference from Nikki Cross. 

The two stars have been feuding since late July at SummerSlam when Bayley made her return following Belair’s successful title defense over Becky Lynch. Bayley also revealed the debuting Damage Control stable.

Another indication that Sasha Banks and Naomi are on their way back to WWE was shown during Saturday’s Crown Jewel premium live event. 

There was a change made to the signature video that kicks off all WWE shows, as they are included in the intro. If you blinked, you might have missed it, but many fans on social media were quick to point it out right away, just as Crown Jewel was about to start.

The Rumors

This only adds fuel to the rumors that Banks and Naomi are returning soon after it was reported by WrestlingNews.co in August that an agreement was reached for both women to return. 

Several media outlets later reported that there were “hang-ups” in the talks between the company and the two stars. Banks is still under a WWE deal, but they were working on another contract because the current one was due to expire soon.

On Friday, Banks posted a cryptic video that teased something “crazy” happening soon after waiting for it over the past six months. 

Banks and Naomi walked out of a WWE Raw event in May due to creative differences, as WWE wanted Naomi to win a six-pack challenge on the show.

Sasha Banks Teases Fans: “There is Going to be Something so F***ing Crazy Coming!”

Bobby Lashley Explains Attack On Brock Lesnar After Crown Jewel Match

Bobby Lashley went into the match against Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel as a babyface but things changed at the show. The All Mighty attacked The Beast Incarnate after a controversial finish to the match, leaving fans surprised. It appears that even Lashley himself is not sure why he did it.

Vic Joseph tried to get some answers from Lashley after the bout in a digital exclusive interview. He asked about the attack on the former Universal Champion. Replying to it, Bobby explained that it was the match he was supposed to win and he doesn’t know what he will do now:

“Why did I attack him? Cause I was ready to go to war. I was ready to die out there. There is not a tomorrow for me. There is not a day after tomorrow. There is a now.” said Bobby Lashley, “That was the biggest challenge that I had, was beating Brock. That’s what people had been talking about for years and I went out there and failed.

That’s what you wanna hear? That’s what you want me to tell you? I failed. That’s what happened, I failed. So back to the drawing board, or what? Quit? Give up? What do I do? That was the task. That was the match that I was supposed to win. And then now what?”

The ending of the bout suggests that we haven’t seen the last of Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar. Though if the post-match interview is any indication, we might see the roles being reversed when these two go up against each other the next time.
