That was certainly something!! Maybe Ospreay is moving on to bigger things for All In at Wembley? ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at MJF WINS AEW INTERNATIONAL TITLE IN A ONE-HOUR MATCH- Dynamite 250 started with a big bang, and no, we're not talking about Sheldon Cooper of the Dynamite lead-in Big Bang Theory, but a near one-hour match that saw a new champion crowned. AEW International champion Will Ospreay wrestled MJF in the opening match of the show, and MJF won with 59:58 on the clock, just two seconds before the match was about to be stopped for the 60-minute time limit. The finish saw MJF, now back as a heel, hit the British star with his Dynamite Diamond ring after a ref bump and covering him for the pinfall. This is MJF's first run with the AEW International title, ending Ospreay's 52-day reign. MJF was held up by a couple of people as doctors put an oxygen mask on him as he celebrated with the title for a great visual. TEAM AEW FOR BLOOD & GUTS COMPLETE- The remaining three individuals for Team AEW in the Blood & Guts match were announced last night on Dynamite. Max Caster and Anthony Bowens pleaded their case to be added to the match with ROH World champion Mark Briscoe in a backstage segment. While Briscoe agreed, it was not just up to him, and right at that moment, AEW World champion Swerve Strickland came in to give his blessing. And as expected, Darby Allin was the fifth and final guy to join Team AEW in their war against The Elite. In the show-closing angle, The Elite brawled with the four members of Team AEW before Allin came down from the rafters like Sting to even the odds. The match will take place next Wednesday live on Dynamite from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. UNIFIED AEW TRIOS TITLE MATCH SET FOR COLLISION- After the Unified AEW Trios titles were declared vacant last week on Collision when Christopher Daniels stripped The Bang Bang Gang off their gold due to Jay White's injury, a match to determine the new champions was announced for this week's Collision. The match will feature Christian Cage, Killswitch, and Nick Wayne take on Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, and Juice Robinson, with the winners getting both the AEW and ROH Trios/Six-Man tag team titles. The Bang Bang Gang tried to invoke the Freebird Rule last week in a bid to have Juice Robinson replace Jay White due to his injury but Daniels didn't want any of that, ending their 83-day reign. The ROH Six-Man Tag Team titles and the AEW Trios titles were unified at the Dynasty Zero Hour show, with White and The Gunns defeating The Acclaimed. The Acclaimed had been AEW Trios champions for 238 days. SLAMMIVERSARY PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY- TNA Wrestling will hold a Slammiversary press conference today starting at 4:20PM ET live at the Verdun Auditorium in Montreal. Stars such as Joe Hendry, Jordynne Grace, Mike Bailey, AJ Francis, and Montreal's own PCO will be participating. Josh Mathews of TNA Wrestling and Kevin Raphael of TVA Sports will be co-hosting the event. Fans are free to attend and the first 50 to enter will receive a special Slammiversary souvenir. The press conference will stream on TNA's digital platforms. SUMMERSLAM SURPASSES 47,000 TICKETS- With less than 20 days to go for the show, SummerSlam 2024 at the Cleveland Browns Stadium is up to over 47,000 tickets distributed according to @WrestleTix. The stadium seating has been expanded to over 55,000 now, with sections on the hard cam section now being opened. WWE was only set to use the north part of the stadium, with the south part being closed. But sections in the 100 and 200 level on the south end of the stadium have now been opened to accommodate for the demand. It's good to note that the floor area remains largely unsold, with two of the sections surrounding the ring all pretty much open for sale with tickets at $2,500 for ringside. The prices for the new opened sections start from $150 and can be purchased from Ticketmaster.com. HULK HOGAN TO SPEAK AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION- MSNBC is reporting that WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan will be speaking at the Republican National Convention tonight ahead of former President Donald Trump's speech. Trump, who will be accepting the Republican nomination to face President Joe Biden in the upcoming November U.S. elections, is friends with Hogan and the two got to know each other in the late 80s when Trump worked with the then WWF to host WrestleMania IV and V at his Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The Republican National Convention comes a few days after Trump, a WWE Hall of Famer himself, survived an assassination attempt this past weekend while speaking at a Pennsylvania rally. NXT RATING- This week's NXT drew 610,000 viewers, down 46,000 viewers from the prior week. The show had a 0.20 rating in 18-49, down 0.04 from last week and had a share of its audience lost to the MLB All-Star game which had around 7.5 million viewers and a 1.58 rating in 18-49.
