Putting this in AEW as he's not with WWE anymore. Jeff Hardy has been in trouble with another DUI. He's really got those issues following him around still. Can't blame WWE for not taking chances with him being a major player really.

Hardys removed from Ladder Match due to Jeff's DUI. Will now be just Jurassic Express and Young Bucks going head to head!

Haven't watched it yet but I saw on the news articles that Claudio/Cesaro debuted for AEW replacing Bryan Danielson in a match and joining The Blackpool Combat Club along with Regal, Danielson, Moxley and Wheeler Yuta!

 

Also a big night for former WWE stars in general as Pac, FTR and Jon Moxley all won titles last night too.

Just caught up with some of the Forbidden Door event despite having seen the Blood and Gut match and the Christian Cage stuff on youtube. Some great matches especially the FTR and Will v Orange ones!

They may need to change the length and time slot to try and make it feel special again. Tony Khan pledged a while back that he was going to strengthen Rampage. That needs to happen sooner rather than later.

Thunder Rosa having to step aside as champ due to an apparent injury but rumour has it there's more to it than just that.

 

Sigh at the possibility of Britt Baker winning the title back. I'd actually take Toni. Jamie is fab but probably needs a bit more time before she holds a title as she's not been given much other than being Britt's lacky.

All Out today (Sunday). Seems the momentum AEW has been having has dimished a lot really but some matches I'm still looking forward to tomorrow!

So I've caught up with some of All Out today. Saw the Casino Battle Royal which was a bit limp overall.

 

Miro, Darby and Sting v House of Black was decent. HOB really not been a major force as we'd expect really and Black seemingly taking time away.

 

Athena v Jade was good if a little too short

 

Jungle Boy v Christian obviously building longer but bit pointless to do a match that didn't really begin properly.

 

Fatal Four Way Women's Match was fab. I'm a big fan of Jamie Hayter (in more ways than one) and I loved the crowd chanting for her in this match. Excited for her big push away from being Britt's sidekick and it'll be a great feud too. Hopefully resulting in her winning against Baker. Toni winning was obvious so nothing really to add there but I haven't really been loving her run in AEW so far.

 

Moxley and Punk was brilliant too. Shame Punk won though but again obvious outcome. What transpired backstage was the real headline over the show though. I think Punk won't be champion for long again lol. MJF at the end was perfectly done too. I'm actually intrigued to see if a babyface MJF could work or not haha.

 

That's the ones I saw. Will catch up on the others in the week.

Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, Pat Buck, Christopher Daniels and Brandon Cutler have all been suspended due to the brawl with CM Punk after the All Out Scrum. Punk and Ace Steel will either join them in suspension or be fired today.

Beginning of the end for AEW as we know it? to be honest CM Punk looks like someone that is difficult to work with and he's done this type of thing before in WWE. It's a shame though because his feud with MJF so far has been great and it was set to continue after the events of All Out.

The Observer is reporting that The Bucks are putting out feelers to see if WWE have any interest in signing them. Although those reports also suggest this is mainly being done to give them a stronger hand in negotiations with AEW.

Saraya formerly known as Paige made her debut for AEW this week. I do hope she hasn't made a bad decision and ends up wrestling cause that won't be wise but then she's made loads of "choices" before so wouldn't surprise me. She wasn't even cleared up till her debut either.

 

I don't like that it's essentially put Britt and Jamie's implosion on the back burner -_-

Andrade El Idolo and Shawn Spears on the way out it would appear. In the formers case the grass really isn't greener oops.

Andrade definitely on his way out now after backstage confrontation with Sammy Guevara. Annoyingly Sammy seems to be being protected for whatever reason as he didn't get punished for the Eddie Kingston situation either.

The Elite being teased to make their awaited comeback. No idea on Punk at this point though. I think he got injured again too?

 

Also in an ideal world I'd have Toni drop the title to Jamie Hayter but I understand a bit soon for the latter and she needs more preparation for a title run. Can see Britt costing her which is fine though as they really ought to progress with their likely split and feud now.

Pretty enjoyable event on Saturday. I'm going to watch MJF and Moxley today despite knowing the result and angle leading to it but I'm happy for Jamie Hayter winning the women's title. I'd say that's the best women's match I've seen now in AEW and Nyla v Jade was solid enough for what it was.

 

The tag matches and the cage match was also great too. Fatal four way was decent too.

 

Wasn't keen on Britt and Saraya though but that's to be expected considering the latters neck tbh.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing MJF as the AEW champion, it's been long overdue I think. There could possibly be a storyline to run through all of 2023 where someone has to get the belt off him before his contract expires on New Year's Day 2024. As for Full Gear itself I thought it was a brilliant show with no bad match that came mind, the steel cage match was my favourite.

That MJF and Ricky Starks promo was fantastic. Ricky is one to look out for I think. Tony needs to strike when the irons hot with him.

Do ITV still have delayed rights to this?

 

 

Revolution tomorrow! Looks to be a decent card!
