TONY KAHN ON AEW/WWE SUPERSHOW: "I WOULD LOVE IF THAT WERE POSSIBLE"

- Appearing on The Rich Eisen show, AEW President Tony Khan said that he would "love if it were possible" to have a joint AEW and WWE supershow. "I don't know if it is (possible), but it would be great if it was possible for the fans," Khan said answering the question of what are the chances of something like this happening. "There are challenging business things in the world of pro wrestling that I think would make that a very challenging thing to do," Khan then admitted. This declaration comes a few months after Khan labeled WWE as the evil juggernaut, the enemy they're at war with, and the "Harvey Weinstein of professional wrestling" in an interview on the NFL Network during the NFL draft.

MELISSA SANTOS JOINS AEW

- Melissa Santos has joined All Elite Wrestling as the newest member of the broadcast team and will be doing announcing and backstage interviews. "Did you miss me? Thank you @aew for the opportunity and to those who helped make this happen. Grateful. Now let’s get to work," Santos wrote on Instagram. The 40-year-old star worked for Women of Wrestling and Lucha Underground in the past. She also had a stint with TNA in 2019. Santos is the wife of AEW star Brian Cage.

ROYAL RAMPAGE RETURNING THIS WEEK

- The Royal Rampage match will be returning this Friday with the winner receiving an AEW World title match at the Dynamite: Grand Slam episode from Arthur Ashe Stadium on September 25. The match was announced by AEW President Tony Khan on X. The Rampage episode will be taped tonight immediately following the conclusion of Blood & Guts Dynamite and will air this Friday on TNT. There have only been two Royal Rampage matches in the past, one in 2022 and one in 2023. Brody King won the first one while Darby Allin won the second one and a TNT title shot in the process.

NXT TITLE MATCH SET FOR GREAT AMERICAN BASH

- The main event of night two of The Great American Bash was set last night on NXT with NXT champion Ethan Page defending his title against Oro Mensah. The contract signing will be held next week on night one of The GAB. This is the only match so far announced for night two. Both episodes will air on SyFy due to the Olympics coverage on USA Network. Night one will be headlined by Roxanne Perez defending the NXT Women's champion against Thea Hail. Another title match will take place, with Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn vs Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson for the WWE Women's Tag Team titles and then Tony D'Angelo defends his NXT Heritage cup against Tavion Heights.

JOE HENDRY CONCERT AT THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH

- Wrestling fan favorite Joe Hendry will be appearing on night one of NXT Great American Bash next week live from the WWE PC in Orlando. The TNA Wrestling star will host a "concert" for the fans as WWE and TNA continue their partnership with talents crossing over. Hendry so far is the only TNA star announced for the show although it would not be a surprise if more are added. A three-minute video on Hendry aired on NXT last night, with TNA plugging it writing, "The world believes in @joehendry!" All the cars at the NXT parking lot were also left with flyers of Hendry advertising next week's concert. Gallus' car received extra flyers, enough to cover the whole windshield!

RAW RATING

- Monday Night Raw this week drew 1,793,000 viewers, up 124,000 viewers from the previous week which had competition from the Home Run Derby. No hourly viewership are available as of press time. In the 18-49 demo, Raw drew a 0.59 rating, up 0.03 from the prior week. No cable chart rankings are available either. Raw moves to SyFy from next week for two weeks due to the Olympics coverage on USA Network and numbers are expected to take a hit with the change of channel. (Ratings credit: Wrestlenomics)

DAMIAN PRIEST ADDRESSES NOT KICKING OUT AT MITB

- Speaking to the New York Post in a story published today, WWE World Heavyweight champion Damian Priest addressed for the first time the situation from Money In The Bank, where he did not kick out after he was pinned by Seth Rollins and the referee actually had to break the count to prevent a title change. Priest was the subject of many ridicule online for the botch, with many online commentators saying that he forgot to kick out. "The idea that I forgot to kick out, that’s not a thing. That’s not a thing. We don’t forget to kick out," Priest told the NY Post. "Twenty years in, I’m pretty sure there is some kind of muscle memory there." Priest said that this was not a case of him forgetting and there was nothing outside that was supposed to happen. "It was a matter of there was a situation, but I’m OK. Everybody’s fine, the story continues," Priest said. The NY Post noted that the champion did not want to get into anything medical around the situation, saying it was personal. "It doesn’t affect anything," Priest continued. "The show goes on and I think fans are very invested in everything that’s going on. The ones that matter knew the situation and nobody thought twice about it. It was, move on."

WWE SIGNS AUSTRALIAN STAR DELTA

- Fightful Wrestling's Corey Brennan reports through the Select service that WWE has signed Australian star Delta to a deal. Delta, who was one of the standout stars at the tryouts during Elimination Chamber week in Perth, is believed to have been signed for a while but was allowed to finish her remaining indie dates and is expected to report to the WWE Performance Center in the next few weeks. Also known as Delta Brady, the Aussie has been wrestling professionally since late 2020 for Melbourne City Wrestling and Riot City Wrestling. Delta wrestled her last match in Australia - against her brother - on July 6 at RCW's Heavy Is The Crown event.
