//->> OPENING WORDS FROM THE EDITOR

Not surprised AEW moved Grand Slam to a small arena now from a stadium. Ticket sales were awful. They really miscalculated that one in the first place.

MATT AND JEFF HARDY SIGN TNA CONTRACTS

- After working for the promotion for months without a deal, TNA Wrestling today announced that Matt and Jeff Hardy have signed a contract. The news was originally broken by Sports Illustrated. The brothers are currently the TNA Tag Team champions, having won the titles in October at the Bound For Glory pay-per-view. Matt returned to TNA in April at the Rebellion show and his brother Jeff joined him in June during the Against All Odds show. Both were previously working for AEW. "They've taken great care of us. They have put myself and Jeff in positions to succeed, which we're very grateful for," Matt told SI. "We love the crew there, from the boys and the girls in the locker room to the management. Everyone and everything is really clicking right now. It feels like the unity is strong. The brand is growing again. I see a lot of upward mobility for TNA over the course of the next year. Jeff and I will be part of that for the next year." The full SI story can be read at .

AEW PULLS RICKY STARKS FROM FUTURE GCW APPEARANCES

- AEW has decided to pull Ricky Starks from all future appearances with Game Changer Wrestling following his approved surprise appearance this past weekend at their Dream On event in New Jersey. This seems to be in retaliation for comments that a GCW wrestler, Effy, made about Tony Khan's father on his podcast. GCW owner Brett Lauderdale admitted that he was blindsided by AEW pulling Starks and only found out when everyone else did. "I don’t really have a line of communication with AEW. I’ve never talked to Tony Khan on the phone or via text in my entire life," Lauderdale said. "They don’t talk to me. I’m not trying to say that necessarily in a negative context but, I guess, we’ve never really had to talk." Lauderdale added that AEW did not give him an explanation or asked any questions and he doesn't know if this will go beyond Ricky Starks.

AEW'S PICKS FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S CUP

- AEW has revealed the four female stars who will be battling for a spot in the International Women's Cup at Wrestle Dynasty in January. Jamie Hayter will take on Queen Aminata tonight on Dynamite in the first qualifier and then Serena Deeb takes on Willow Nightingale on Collision on December 7. The two winners then face each other for the spot at the Winter Is Coming Dynamite on December 12. The International Women's Cup will have a four-way match featuring stars from Stardom, AEW, ROH, and CMLL and will take place on Sunday, January 5 live from the Tokyo Dome as part of the Wrestle Dynasty pay-per-view.

AEW MOVES GRAND SLAM TO 13,000-SEATER ARENA

- There will be nothing grand about the upcoming AEW Grand Slam: Australia show as AEW has moved it from the 50,000-seater Suncorp Stadium to the 13,000-seater Brisbane Entertainment Centre amid very low ticket sales. An e-mail from Ticketek to all ticket holders said, "The promoter of AEW Grand Slam Australia, wishes to advise you that the venue for Grand Slam Australia on Saturday 15th February 2025, has been changed to Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Ticket holders do not need to take any action, your new event tickets will be sent to your Ticketek App in the next 2 weeks. Your Stadium tickets will not be valid for the new venue." AEW President Tony Khan boasted last week that the company has sold "thousands" of tickets for Grand Slam when there were already rumors of a venue change and Ticketek restricting purchasing of new tickets for the show. Tickets for the new location are not available for sale yet but will be online soon. The Brisbane Entertainment Centre last held a wrestling show for WWE in October 2019, a non-televised live event headlined by Roman Reigns vs Erick Rowan in a street fight. This was a bit of karma biting back as on May 27, 2022, Tony Khan tweeted that it was one of his favorite days because he had dinner with Dana White where he informed him that MITB was moved from the proposed Allegiant Stadium to MGM Grand due to low sales on the same day of a UFC event at the T-Mobile Arena.

With one spot in each match remaining, the final contestants will be decided on next week's show where the losers of each qualifying match will battle in fatal four-way matches. The men's match will feature Cedric Alexander, Lexis King, Eddy Thorpe, and Axiom while the women's match will have Cora Jade, Jaida Parker, Wren Sinclair, and Kelani Jordan. The winner of the men's match joins Wes Lee, Je'Von Evans, Nathan Frazer, and Ethan Page in the Iron Survivor Challenge and the winner of the women's match joins Sol Ruca, Stephanie Vaquer, Zaria, and Giulia.

ERIC BISCHOFF AND X-PAC ON NXT NEXT WEEK

- Former WCW President and WWE official Eric Bischoff and former nWo/DX member Sean "X-Pac" Waltman will be appearing on NXT next week. Bischoff made his presence felt via video when he appeared during a segment between NXT champion Trick Williams and number one contender Ridge Holland. With things getting hot between the two, Bischoff said that he will be coming to the WWE Performance Center next week to host a face-to-face between the two ahead of their match at Deadline. Meanwhile, later in the show, X-Pac kinda invited himself to the broadcast when he mentioned Shawn Michaels in a post on X writing, "Next week's NXT show looks too good to miss. I'm coming to Orlando to watch it live!" So far it's unknown what X-Pac will be there for.

MOANA 2 OUT IN THEATERS TODAY

- Just weeks after his Red One movie opened around the world, Dwayne Johnson is back on the big screen today, or better yet, behind the microphone, with the release of Disney's Moana 2. The movie also features the voices of Auli?i Cravalho, Temuera Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda, Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Hualālai Chung, Rachel House, Awhimai Fraser, Gerald Ramsey, and Alan Tudyk. The synopsis of the movie reads, "Three years after the events of the first film, Moana receives an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors and forms her own crew, reuniting with her friend, the demigod Maui. As they journey to the far seas of Oceania to break the god Nalo's curse on the hidden island of Motufetu, which once connected the people of the ocean, they confront old and new foes, including the Kakamora and underworld goddess Matangi." Moana 2 is expected to do much better than Red One, with projections hovering in the $110 million range for the Thanksgiving weekend. If it hits that number, it would be the biggest opening for a film released during that period. The original Moana pulled in $643 million in worldwide box office and had a budget of $150 million.
