The show-long angle on Smackdown was Roman Reigns refusing to let Sami Zayn back in the OG Bloodline but by the end of the night, the OG Bloodline reunited in full, well, minus their Wiseman Paul Heyman. Closing the night, Reigns wanted a one-on-one match with Solo Sikoa for the title of the Tribal Chief, but Solo refuted that and said WarGames is the way to go. He said the fifth person on his team would be Sami Zayn, and Zayn came out to the top of the stage to see the new Bloodline beat up on Reigns. The Usos came out to help their cousin but they got outnumbered as well and then, Solo invited Sami to the ring to kick Roman in the face again. With Solo holding Roman, Zayn went for the Helluva Kick but decked Solo instead. Jacob Fatu tried to help Solo but was met with a Superman punch from Reigns and another Helluva Kick by Zayn as the two stood tall together in the ring. The Usos joined them in and Jey threw his index finger in the air, followed by Jimmy. Zayn then went face-to-face with Reigns and also threw his one up to a big pop from the crowd. Reigns acknowledged that and completed the group by throwing his index finger up to an ever bigger pop. Smackdown ended with the OG Bloodline and their ones up while Solo and his Bloodline retreated to the back.

The title was announced by Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis and it will be exclusively to the blue brand. Aldis said that this title will not be handed out to anyone, but someone will earn it, although he did not give out details on how the inaugural champion will be decided. The Women's United States title is the exact replica of the man's U.S. title but with a white leather strap. > FIRST TWO IRON SURVIVOR CHALLENGE MATCHES ON TUESDAY - The first two Iron Survivor Challenge qualifying matches were announced by NXT General Manager Ava in a social media post. These matches will take place on Tuesday's episode of NXT and will feature Wes Lee vs Cedric Alexander and Cora Jade vs Sol Ruca. The winners will advance to the match at Deadline. Each Iron Survivor Challenge match has five participants and qualifying matches will be held throughout the month. > TNT TITLE MATCH ADDED TO FULL GEAR - The Full Gear pay-per-view card continued to evolve last night on Collision. The AEW TNT title will be on the line in a newly-announced match with Jack Perry defending the title against Daniel Garcia. It was Garcia who issued th

The biggest issue with AEW and its fans I think is that they can't see that there are problems which need to be fixed. A few years ago, AEW were close to Raw, at least in 18-49, now they can't even beat NXT. Something needs to change. ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at http://www.wrestling-online.com/ > ELIMINATION CHAMBER TO BE HELD AT ROGERS CENTRE IN TORONTO - WWE today announced that the 2025 Elimination Chamber premium live event will be taking place from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada on Saturday, March 1. "Canada is an amazing place to host our biggest Premium Live Events, with its passionate fans and rich history that spans decades," said WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. "On the heels of a record-breaking Money In The Bank this past July, we are excited to return to Toronto for an even larger event in 2025." The Rogers Centre is the building formerly known as the Sky Dome, where WrestleMania VI and 18 took place. WWE has not held an event at that location since 2002. This marks the second consecutive year that Elimination Chamber will be held in an international stadium, following this year’s record-setting event at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia. Elimination Chamber 2025 Priority Passes will soon be available from On Location giving fans the chance to be ringside for every exhilarating moment including premium seating, pre-show hospitality with WWE Superstar appearances, ringside photo opportunities and much more.

But AEW got a cold reality check as the ECW-themed episode of NXT from the 2300 Arena actually beat it in both viewership and 18-49 demo. NXT drew 619,000 viewers overall while Dynamite averaged 523,000 viewers, a difference of 96,000 viewers. In 18-49, NXT had a 0.17 rating while Dynamite drew a 0.16, although NXT airs on network television while Dynamite is on cable. While NXT had some ECW originals on the show, with the likes of Dawn Marie, Francine, Rob Van Dam, Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Rhino, Nunzio, and Tony Mamaluke all showing up, AEW loaded Dynamite with their usual big stars, including Mercedes Mone, The Hurt Syndicate, Orange Cassidy, Darby Allin, Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho, and others. At one point during the broadcast, Christian Cage made fun of the competition, telling Hook that his father was the face of an outlaw promotion and was a big fish in a little pond who choked when he got to the bright lights. Bully Ray, who wre

The 2300 Arena looked awesome too. Wish they could go to these smaller arenas more often. The WWE PC is not fit for NXT anymore. ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at http://www.wrestling-online.com/ > NXT DEADLINE ANNOUNCED FOR DECEMBER 7 - The next NXT premium live event is Deadline and it will be held on Saturday, December 7. The show will emanate from The Armory, a building which was designated a Minneapolis historic landmark in 2017, and one which can hold up to 8,000 fans. Tickets will go on sale next Wednesday, November 13, and you can sign up for a pre-sale at https://www.wwe.com/nxtdeadline-2024-presale-registration. The announcement of Deadline came from NXT General Manager Ava during yesterday's episode of NXT on CW. > IRON SURVIVOR CHALLENGE RETURNING FOR DEADLINE - The NXT Deadline premium live event will once again have the Iron Survivor Challenge matches. Qualifying bouts to see who will advance to the show will start on next week's episode of NXT. The Iron Survivor Challenge is a 25-minute match which involves five NXT stars. Two wrestlers start the match, and every five minutes, another wrestler enters with the fifth and final participant entering at the 15-minute mark. The one with the most points from pinfall or submissions before the time expires wins the match. The concept was introduced in 2022 with the winners so far being Roxanne Perez, Blair Davenport, Grayson Waller, and Trick Williams. The winner of each match will get an NXT title shot. > ECW ORIGINALS APPEAR ON NXT - The ECW spirit was alive and well last night on NXT which took place from the old ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Apart from the announced appearances of Rob Van Dam, Dawn Marie, Francine, and Bubba Ray Dudley, there were also a couple of more surprises in store for fans. D-Von Dudley showed up at the end of the tag team match between Bubba Ray and Trick Williams vs Ridge Holland and Ethan Page. Trick Williams went to get a table, but there was none under the ring. The Dudley Boyz theme song hit and D-Von came out with a table to a big ovation from the fans. He handed the table over to Williams and Bubba Ray, and the two chokeslammed Ethan Page through it. D-Von then got in the ring and celebrated with the two. TNA Hall of Famer Rhino also was a surprise appearance and gored Robert Stone during an in-ring segment. Stone was running down the Philly crowd when the lights went out and when they came back on, Rhino was on the other end of the ring. With Stone not knowing who was behind him, he turned around and ate a spear from Rhino. Nunzio and Tony Mamaluke showed up at the ECW Arena and Nunzio actually challenged Tony D'Angelo for the NXT North American title. Although unsuccessful in his bid to get the title, Nunzio and Mamaluke settled their differences with the D'Angelo family and all posed together at the end of the match.

Kinda wild watching Dana White speaking this morning with Trump and Linda McMahon on stage with them! ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at http://www.wrestling-online.com/ > WWE HALL OF FAMER DONALD TRUMP RECLAIMS U.S. PRESIDENCY - A WWE Hall of Famer has been elected as the 47th President of the United States. Donald Trump, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013 at Madison Square Garden in New York, won his second term as president, beating Kamala Harris in what ended up being somewhat of a landslide victory. The road to the election was a bit wrestling heavy this time around, with Trump stopping by Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast and The Undertaker's Six Feet Under podcast as well. He also had open support from many wrestling personalities, including Hulk Hogan, who appeared multiple times at his rallies. UFC President Dana White, part of the TKO Group leadership, was also a big presence with Trump and even this morning when Trump spoke to his supporters, White was on stage with him and addressed the crowd as well. Trump is a big family friend of the McMahons and Linda McMahon served in his cabinet when he was elected president in 2016. Linda was the chair of the America First Action, the pro-Tr ump Super PAC which helped him raise over $80 million in 2020 and is now the Chair of the Board for America First Policy Institute. Linda has now joined Howard Lutnick to co-chair Donald Trump's 2025 transition team. It is believed that Linda McMahon will once again get a high-level position in Trump's new cabinet once he is installed as president of the United States in January 2025. Trump is also a huge WWE fan and as everyone is aware, appeared many times on WWE programming throughout the years, including being part of several WrestleManias. > BRUCE PRICHARD AND MICHAEL HAYES ON TEMPORARY LEAVE FROM WWE - Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer is reporting that Bruce Prichard and Michael Hayes are out on "temporary leave" due to two different and unrelated issues. Meltzer, quoting different sources in WWE, said that Prichard's leave is due to a family emergency while Hayes' absence is due to personal issues. Both long-time WWE employees are expected back in the company at some point and their absence is nothing related to "the old guard" being phased out. Prichard and Hayes were two of Vince McMahon's biggest supporters in WWE but unlike other McMahon loyalists who were driven out, both kept their respective important positions within the company. > ECW-THEMED OPEN FOR NXT - NXT is going extreme tonight and WWE published a throwback ECW cold open featuring NXT stars along with the several ECW originals to hype up the special episode which will be live from the 2300 Arena, otherwise better known as the ECW arena. The intro with the iconic ECW theme song opens with Stephanie Vaquer and has a mix of NXT footage and classic ECW footage with those ECW stars who will be part of the broadcast tonight. The video has a filter over it so

"Tomorrow is #ElectionDay!

Omega said that he would love to be able to wrestle at the upcoming Wrestle Dynasty event in Japan on January 5 as he still considers New Japan Pro-Wrestling his home. After his promo, Omega was confronted backstage by Gabe Kidd and that led to a brawl, suggesting that Kidd will be his eventual opponent on the joint NJPW/AEW show. Omega has not wrestled since December 2023 after a bout with diverticulitis. He underwent surgery to repair the problem which was almost fatal for him. > RICOCHET MAKES SURPRISE NJPW APPEARANCE, TAKES OUT ZACK SABRE JR. - Ricochet made a surprise appearance at the NJPW Power Struggle event and issued a challenge for Wrestle Dynasty in January. After Zack Sabre Jr defeated Shinto Takagi to retain the IWGP World Heavyweight title in the main event of the show, Ricochet's theme song kicked in and he came out decked in a full three-piece suit from behind Sabre Jr, hit a springboard clothesline and took out the champion. He told Sabre that it's been six years since he wrestled in New Japan and challenged him for the IWGP World heavyweight title at the NJPW/AEW Wrestle Dynasty event. Later on social media, Ricochet said that he appeared on the show to "remind the world that I’m still the f*cking man around here." > WWE OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES INTERNATIONAL TOUR IN MARCH - WWE today officially announced the Road to WrestleMania tour from Europe, an 11-day tour which will see stops in Spain, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Northern Ireland, England, Scotland, Austria, and Netherlands.

I think having the main champions fighting over a Saudi-only title did nothing to increase interest. ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at http://www.wrestling-online.com/ > CROWN JEWEL 2024 RESULTS - Here are the results from the Crown Jewel 2024 event which took place from the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga defeated Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso; Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair defeated Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky, Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, and Chelsea Green and Piper Niven in a fatal four-way match to retain the WWE Women's Tag Team titles; Seth Rollins defeated Bronson Reed; Liv Morgan defeated Nia Jax to become the inaugural WWE Women's Crown Jewel champion; Randy Orton vs Kevin Owens was a no contest and the match never started; Cody Rhodes defeated Gunther to become the inaugural WWE Crown Jewel champion. > LIV MORGAN AND CODY RHODES WIN CROWN JEWEL CHAMPIONSHIPS - Liv Morgan and Cody Rhodes became the inaugural Crown Jewel champions at the Crown Jewel premium live event held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. WWE Women's World champion Liv Morgan was the first one to win the title after she defeated WWE Women's champion Nia Jax. The match had a lot of interference, first by Tiffany Stratton who teased cashing in and then the arrival of Raquel Rodriguez and Dom Mysterio. Rodriguez and Mysterio helped Liv get the upperhand and Morgan won after delivering an Oblivion. After the match, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque came out to present Morgan with her new title as fans gave a standing ovation. In the main event of the show, WWE Undisputed champion Cody Rhodes defeated WWE World Heavyweight champion Gunther in a classic match which had a hot crowd throughout. The ending came when Cody tried a Cody Cutter from the top rope but Gunther caught him in a sleeper hold. Cody then reversed it, similar to how Bret Hart defeated Roddy Piper at Wr estleMania 8, and pinned Gunther to win the match. After the match, Gunther and Cody shook hands and Triple H came in with four Saudi officials - two men and two women - to present the Crown Jewel championship to Rhodes. After fireworks went off and some more celebrations, Liv Morgan joined in the ring as the champs posed together, shook hands, saluted the crowd, and the show went off the air. > SAMI ZAYN LAYS OUT ROMAN REIGNS BY MISTAKE! - The Bloodline storyline got even more complicated at the Crown Jewel show with the re-introduction of Sami Zayn. Solo's Bloodline defeated the OG Bloodline in the opening match of Crown Jewel and pretty much to everyone's surprise, it was Solo Sikoa who got the clean pin on Roman Reigns for the win after Reigns got hammered by Jacob Fatu. After the match, the beatdown continued by Solo's Bloodline and with Jey Uso's head wrapped around a chair, Sami Zayn's theme song kicked in to a massive pop from the crowd. Sami entered the ring and went for a hug with Solo

Crown Jewel will kick off at a special start time of 1PM ET / 10AM PT / 5PM GMT / 6PM CET and the pre-show will start an hour earlier. The pre-show airs on Peacock, WWE Network, and WWE's social media properties. > OG BLOODLINE REUNITES ON SMACKDOWN - The OG Bloodline got their band, or shall we say family, back together last night on Smackdown in front of an electric crowd. During an in-ring segment between Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns, Jey Uso interrupted to big Yeets and the crowd even sang a verse of his theme song a cappella when the music stopped. Jey said that he's back for this match because of Solo costing him his championship and ultimately, because that's what family does. But he warned Reigns that he's no longer his lackey because he did not forget the physical damage, emotional damage, and mental damage that he went through because of Reigns. If they were going to do this, they're going to do it as equals, and it won't be Roman Reigns his tribal chief, but Roman Reigns his cousin. Reigns asked for the microphone and after a long pause to absorb the crowd noise, he simply said, "Yeet!" That was enough for the crowd to explode and with one Yeet down, Jimmy took it upon himself to take the stage and raise his index finge r like old times. Jey, seeing that Reigns somewhat acknowledged him with the yeet, did the same like his brother and threw his index finger in the air as well. Reigns then slowly walked in the middle and slowly raised his index finger too as the crowd, already with their ones up, went bananas. And with that, the OG Bloodline is back!

Baron Corbin's contract is not being renewed when it expires shortly and will be a free agent as soon as it ends. "That’s all she wrote folks. It’s been real and I appreciate everyone who supported me," Corbin wrote on social media after news came out. Corbin has been signed with WWE since 2012 and spent years in NXT before making it to the main roster. He has not appeared on WWE television in months after his tag team with Apollo Crews was disbanded. Indi Hartwell was released from her deal and is currently serving her 90-day no-compete clause. The Australian star has worked for WWE since 2019 and was in NXT before she was called up to the main roster last year. "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened," Hartwell wrote on X. Also released was Tegan Nox, with the former star also having a 90-day no-compete clause. Just like Corbin, her TV appearances were very limited in 2024 and was rarely used. The Welsh star had a rough time in WWE, suffering two major injuries which kept her out of action for almost two years combined. She started with the company in 2017 and was released in 2021 before returning a year later. > WWE ANNOUNCES UPCOMING LOCATIONS OF SIX RAW AND SEVEN SMACKDOWN SHOWS - WWE announced the locations for six Raw and seven Smackdown television tapings that will take place from January to early March.

After Swerve Strickland defeated Benjamin in the main event of the show, Bobby Lashley came out to the ring in a full suit and took out Strickland. Meanwhile, MVP attacked Prince Nana and Benjamin and Lashley continued to hammer on Strickland despite the attempted interference of several security individuals. MVP then told the crowd, "Guess who's back in business," a nod to their former WWE name Hurt Business. Lashley is believed to have signed with AEW several weeks ago and was the last piece of the puzzle in this former WWE faction to form in AEW. Lashley's WWE contract expired a couple of months ago and has not wrestled since May. You can see his arrival at https://www.wrestling-online.com/aew/bobby-lashley-makes-aew-debut-on-dynamite/. > CASSIDY GETS TITLE SHOT AT FULL GEAR - The main event of Full Gear was announced last night and will feature AEW World champion Jon Moxley defending his title against Orange Cassidy. Cassidy called out the champion in the opening segment of Dynamite and requested the match, which was later made official. They were also involved in a brawl during the broadcast as Moxley's BCC continues to run riot in AEW. This is the second time in a row that Moxley and Cassidy will meet each other at Full Gear as last year the two wrestled for the International title, a match which Cassidy won and retained the title as well. Moxley's title defense against Cassidy later in November will be his first one since regaining the title at WrestleDream from his former BCC team mate Bryan Danielson. > RUBY SOHO AND ANGELO PARKER WELCOME BABY DAUGHTER - AEW stars Ruby Soho and Angelo Parker welcomed their daughter today, Evie. Parker announced the birth of their first child in a post on social media, saying it was the perfect Halloween. "P.S. Your mom @realrubysoho is a total badass," he wrote, along with a photo of all three holding hands. Soho revealed she was pregnant in mid-April in a segment after Dynamite, telling her then-boyfriend that they're expecting. She last wrestled in February. The two tied the knot in Ohio on May 18. > DWAYNE JOHNSON SET FOR JUMANJI 3 - Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is set to return for the third installment of the popular movie franchise Jumanji.

Next week should be even better. They're really loading it up again to face Dynamite but I don't expect them to beat AEW this time around on AEW's regular night. ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at http://www.wrestling-online.com/ > ECW LEGENDS ON NXT NEXT WEEK - ECW legends Rob Van Dam, Bubba Ray Dudley, Francine, and Nunzio will all be appearing next week on NXT from the 2300 Arena, formerly known as the ECW Arena, in an episode which will go head-to-head with AEW Dynamite on the day after the United States presidential election. RVD showed up in a backstage segment with NXT General Manager Ava and told her he wants to be part of the show next week. Ava assured Van Dam that she will come up with something for him and later in the closing moments of the show, RVD appeared again when Wes Lee and Je'Von Evans were brawling backstage, saying that he has a great idea for next week. The Queen of Extreme herself, Francine, announced via a video on social media that she will be in Philadelphia as well for NXT. "On Wednesday, November 6, I am coming home to the place where it all started for me, the ECW Arena," Francine said in the video. "Philly, NXT get ready because we are going to take you to the extreme!" Another ECW original, Nunzio is appar ently on the way to Philly too after NXT North American champion Tony D'Angelo had a phone voice mail in a heavy Italian accent, saying that it was blatant disrespect that he had to hear secondhand about NXT coming to Philly. He told the champ to bring the title too and then Vic Joseph and Booker T wondered if that was Nunzio making the call. And Bubba Ray Dudley will be wrestling on the show, teaming up with NXT champion Trick Williams to take on Ridge Holland and Ethan Page. Dudley initially shot down the idea, saying that he did not want to steal a spot from someone else but later agreed to the match. > JORDYNNE GRACE MAKES SURPRISE APPEARANCE ON NXT - Former TNA Knockouts champion Jordynne Grace made a surprise appearance on NXT last night and will be involved in next week's broadcast as well in a massive 10-woman tag team match. After Zaria defeated Brinley Reece in her NXT in-ring debut, she was interrupted by Fatal Influence, with Fallon Henley saying that she stole their thunder last Sunday so now they are returning the favor. Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade then interrupted saying that they wanted to introduce Zaria to the women's division. Kelani Jordan, Stephanie Vaquer, and Giulia came out to add some numbers to Zaria's side but as Perez correctly pointed out, it was still four vs five. Cue in the sirens and out came a smiling Jordynne Grace as the WWE PC exploded. All 10 women stood across each other and a massive brawl ensued. The faces, one by one, got rid of the heels, with Zaria and Grace throwing Perez like a dart out of the ring. The 10-woman tag match was then made official for next week with Zaria, Jordan, Vaquer, G iulia, and Grace vs Perez, Jade, Henley, Jayne, and Nyx. You can see the cool segm

The program will be called WWE ID, short for WWE Independent Development. “WWE ID is the latest in our efforts to identify and support the journey of up-and-coming wrestlers, in turn raising the profile of and strengthening the independent wrestling ecosystem,” said WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. Following the 2021 launch of WWE’s NIL program, WWE ID has been constructed to support independent wrestling prospects and wrestling schools with world-class training, development and mentorship. Under the program, WWE will provide prominent independent wrestling schools with the WWE ID official designation, with the goal of providing new trainees and existing talent at these select institutions with enhanced developmental opportunities. Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling (Houston), Cody Rhodes’ Nightmare Factory (Atlanta), Seth Rollins’ Black and Brave Academy (Davenport, Iowa), Elite Pro Wrestling Training Center (Concord, N.H.) and KnokX Pro Academy (Los Angeles) are the first WWE ID independent wrestling schools to earn the official designation. Additionally, WWE ID will identify top independent wrestling prospects with an official WWE ID “prospect” designation and support their developmental journey by providing financial opportunity and assisting with training, mentorship and development, including access to world-class facilities, best-in-class ring training, athletic trainers and more. WWE ID will give fans the opportunity to follow the paths of these standout prospects on the independent wrestling scene through curated, behind-the-scenes content, as well as highlights and matches showcased across WWE’s social platforms. To learn more about WWE ID and WWE’s recruiting process, please visit recruit.wwe.com. > AJ STYLES SAYS HE SHOT DOWN TNA HOF OPPORTUNITY NOT WWE - In a post on social media replying to fans, former WWE champion AJ Styles revealed it was his choice to turn down the TNA Hall of Fame induction, and not WWE as previously reported. "I’m still an active wrestler...I hope," Styles said. "I made the decision not to go into the TNA HOF, not WWE." Styles said that he appreciates TNA but he does not want to go into any Hall of Fames as long as he's still active. "My choice," he concluded. Styles is currently out injured with a foot injury, an injury he suffered during Smackdown earlier this month in a match against Carmelo Hayes. > THOUSANDS OF WRESTLEMANIA TICKETS GO ON RE-SALE - Thousands of WrestleMania tickets went on re-sale on Ticketmaster, showing that despite the incredible cost of each ticket, thousands of individuals still bought them to resell them and make money off their original price.

Tony D’Angelo defeated Oba Femi in a Tables, Ladders, and Scares match to retain the NXT North American title; Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia defeated Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade; Ridge Holland defeated Andre Chase in an Ambulance match; Fallon Henley defeated Kelani Jordan in a Gauntlet match to become the new NXT Women’s North American champion; Trick Williams defeated Ethan Page in a Devil’s Playground match to retain the NXT title. > BUBBA RAY DUDLEY GETS INVOLVED AT HALLOWEEN HAVOC - WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley saved NXT champion Trick Williams last night after the main event of Halloween Havoc. Williams successfully defeated Ethan Page on the show but then was attacked by Ridge Holland, who earlier destroyed Andre Chase in an Ambulance match. With Holland and Page double teaming the NXT champion, Bubba Ray came out and cleaned house, evening up the odds for the champion. Bubba Ray Dudley's involvement will lead to something for next week as NXT tapes its show from the 2300 Arena, formerly known as the ECW Arena in Philadelphia as it goes head-to-head with AEW Dynamite on Wednesday, November 6. Dudley served as an analyst throughout the broadcast with his broadcast partner Dave LaGreca of Busted Open Radio. Earlier in the show, Holland confronted Dudley twice, first during the pre-show and then after he won the match.

The match, announced by NXT General Manager Ava, will be contested under hardcore rules and that required the services of someone who is pretty used to the extreme environment of the 2300 Arena. The 53-year-old worked for ECW between 1998 and 2001, managing Lance Storm and Justin Credible, better known as The Impact Players. Marie moved to WWE in 2002 where she stayed there for three years. > 1 DEADMAN SHOW RETURNING IN DECEMBER - Undertaker's 1 deadMAN SHOW is returning for three dates in December across three of Texas' biggest cities: Dallas, Houston, and Austin.

MCMG defeated DIY to become the number one contenders for the tag team titles and were then confronted by The Bloodline, with Solo Sikoa saying that if they really wanted to make an "impact," they should wrestle now. MCMG accepted the invitation and Smackdown General Manger made the impromptu match. With Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa interfering, they were met by Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns, who evened the odds and took the brawl to the back. There was a ref bump in the match, which led to Jey Uso coming out and taking out Tanga Loa and Tama Tonga as revenge for their involvement on Monday in his IC title match. Jey then revived the referee and Sabin and Shelley hit their Skull and Bones finisher and the ref counted to three as the Brooklyn crowd exploded. This win makes Motor City Machine Guns one of the most decorated tag teams in the history of pro wrestling, with the in-ring veterans winning TNA, ROH, NJPW, and WWE gold.

And how much did you end up spending on it? ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at http://www.wrestling-online.com/ > WRESTLEMANIA 41 TICKETS ON SALE - WrestleMania 41 tickets officially went on general sale today at 1PM ET / 10AM PT on Ticketmaster.com after two days of pre-sale which saw thousands of tickets sold at eye-popping prices. Tickets were originally priced $450, $650, $850, $1,000, $1,400, $2,000, $3,000, $5,000, and $10,000, but Ticketmaster is using dynamic pricing for the show due to the huge demand, inflating the prices by over 100% in most sections. There's also the addition of a service fee, facility fee, order processing fee, and the Las Vegas Live Entertainment Tax, which is another 9% of the total price. Already the most expensive event in WWE history, this WrestleMania is on track to have the largest gave ever for a WWE show. WWE has not announced any number of tickets sold yet but you can rest assured that number will come out soon. WrestleMania 41 takes place on April 19 and 20 live from the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. > DOUBLE SMACKDOWN TAPING TONIGHT - Fans attending tonight's Smackdown at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York will be sitting down for two shows as next week's Smackdown is also being taped tonight. WWE Superstars will be heading to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia next week and unlike last year when Smackdown was held the night before live in Riyadh, this time it will be taped and instead, Raw will be taped on Sunday night in the same location as Crown Jewel. Over 10,000 tickets have already been distributed for tonight's broadcast, with both Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes in the house. WWE had a slow start for ticket sales at this particular location but sales picked up over the last two weeks mainly due to a discount offer. Not much is advertised for Smackdown tonight apart from a face-to-face between champions Cody Rhodes and Gunther and match seven between Carmelo Hayes and Andrade. > SURVIVOR SERIES TO START AN HOUR EARLIER - Survivor Series next month is now scheduled to start at 6PM ET rather than the usual 7PM start time. A notice to ticket holders was sent via e-mail notifying them of the time change. Bad Blood also started at 6PM earlier this month due to the UFC pay-per-view which was also held on the same night. It's unclear why the decision was made to also move Survivor Series to an hour earlier because there are no other scheduled TKO shows that night. Survivor Series: WarGames will be taking place live from the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada on Saturday, November 30. There are over 15,000 tickets sold so far and the arena is being used in full and can accommodate over 17,000 fans. > CODY RHODES SAYS WM 41 WILL TOP WM 40 - While in Las Vegas to promote the WrestleMania 41 tickets which came out earlier today, WWE champion Cody Rhodes said that what happens at WrestleMania 41 will top WrestleMania 40.

Originally, tickets were priced $450, $650, $850, $1,000, $1,400, $2,000, $3,000, $5,000, and $10,000, but now it's impossible to find a ticket at those prices. Ticketmaster uses dynamic ticket pricing depending on demand and has tried to justify its practice by comparing it to airlines and hotels which also increase costs based on demand. It's a tactic used mainly in concerts, where prices go up big time if there's a huge demand for a show and now this practice has also moved to WWE events. A row 4 ticket, which was originally $10,000, is now $15,000 plus taxes and fees. After all is said and done, there's an additional $3,562 in fees plus the Las Vegas Entertainment Tax which amounts to another $1,350, for a total price of just over $19,900. A level 200 seat which yesterday sold for $850 plus fees is now $1,850, over 100% more than its original price, and that does not include taxes or fees. The cheapest two-night ticket available on Ticketmaster at the moment is $1,600 and that is in the level 300. It's unclear how much tickets WWE moved yesterday after the pre-sale started. Tickets will open to the general public tomorrow. > NXT RATING - NXT drew 702 viewers this week on The CW, up 63,000 viewers from the prior week.

Service fees for each ticket were the amount of a regular ticket, with well over $300 in fees for regular tickets. There was a service fee, facility charge, order processing fee, and the Las Vegas Live Entertainment Tax, which is another 9% of the total price. Tickets in the rafters were going for $1,000 each, something which drew ire from fans. "For two nosebleed 2-day tickets for WrestleMania. This is insane," said one user on X, showing a total of $2,344.74. That included $447.50 in service fees and $156.24 in taxes. "Ticket fees really should not be the amount of another ticket," said another one, with $1,200 per ticket amounting to $3,261.14 including taxes for two. $839 of that amount were all taxes and fees. "Worse seats than last year that I paid $1500 total last year," said another. "The @wwe is greedy." A photo posted on X showed six tickets for a total of $8,964.92, with $2,370 of which were taxes and fees. Tickets went on pre-sale at 1PM ET using the code MANIA. > TWO NEW MATCHES ADDED TO HALLOWEEN HAVOC - Two new matches were added to this Saturday's NXT Halloween Havoc premium live event with the card now finalized with the usual five matches.

Wow. I thought they found their woman for those ring intros and looked like she was enjoying it. She was the best to ever do it and I will certainly miss the emotion and creativity of her introductions. Incredible talent and it's a huge loss for WWE. ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at http://www.wrestling-online.com/ > LILIAN GARCIA RETURNS TO WWE FULL TIME - With Samantha Irvin's shock exit, WWE brought back Lilian Garcia full time as the new Raw ring announcer. Before the show went on the air, Raw commentator Joe Tessitore introduced Garcia back, who was visibly super thrilled to return, as fans gave her a standing ovation. She fist-bumped both Tessitore and Wade Barrett, who also gave her a standing ovation at ringside. Garcia was really nervous on her first night back, making a couple of mistakes along the way as the night went by, something she admitted in her social media message after the show ended. This is Garcia's third full-time stint with the company. She started in late 1999 and spent 10 years as the Raw ring announcer before leaving the company to pursue a singing career. She returned in 2012 for her second stint and lasted until 2016. The 58-year-old has made several appearances on WWE television since then, most recently this past May when Samantha Irvin welcomed back Garcia to Raw in South Carolina and handed her the mic to introduce one match. You can see her return before Raw started at https://www.wrestling-online.com/wwe/lilian-garcia-returns-to-wwe-as-full-time-raw-ring-announcer/. > LILIAN GARCIA "BACK HOME" - Lilian Garcia returned to WWE last night on Raw to fill the void that Samantha Irvin left after her exit, reclaiming her spot as the Raw ring announcer. It's been eight years since Garcia has been full-time with WWE and she was really nervous in her return, something she acknowledged in a post on Instagram after the show. “And my goodness, when my music hit and I got introduced, the cheers and the applause and the roar that you gave me tonight — thank you," she said. "Thank you for that, because I was nervous. I was so nervous. I could even tell when I started announcing that I was nervous, but it is all worth it." She said that coming back to see everyone, her friends, WWE Superstars, and reuniting with crew makes her really excited and while she doesn't know where this will all lead to, she's strapping on her seat belt for the wild ride. Before closing, Garcia had some words for Samantha Irvin, calling her an extraordinary talent and unbelievable. "I know it could not have been easy to walk away from here, but I wish you all the success in your music career," she said. "I know you’re going to kill it. You’re going to kill it." Garcia ended her post saying that she's "back home." > MICHAEL BUFFER SAYS HE'S SAD THAT SAMANTHA IRVIN LEFT - Perhaps the greatest and most well-known ring announcer in sports, Michael Buffer, expressed his disappointment after news came out that Samantha Irvin has

Wild. ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at http://www.wrestling-online.com/ > RING ANNOUNCER SAMANTHA IRVIN LEAVING WWE - In what may come as a surprise to many, WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin has announced that she is departing WWE as her time "has come to an end" as Raw ring announcer. "I love you all tremendously and this does not mark the end of my art, I have a lifetime more to share," she wrote in a long post shared on social media. Irvin thanked all WWE fans, the women's locker room, the crew, and WWE Superstars for raising the bar over and over again and for risking their bodies and finding new ways to keep fans shocked and wanting more. "There is no form of entertainment like this and not just any entertainer can be a WWE Superstar," Irvin continued. "The respect I have for you is more than I can express. Thank you for making it so easy to pour emotion and excitement into your introductions. You are the stars that the stars idolize. It doesn't get any bigger and I'm proud to have used my voice to let the world know it." Irvin also specifically thanked Paul Heyman, Michael PS Hayes, Michael Cole, Brian "Road Dogg" James, Scott Armstrong, Gabe Sapolsky, George Carroll Jr, Triple H, and Mark Henry for giving her her big break. "To my fans, my entire career I've been waiting for you! We are meant to be and I can prove it. Stay tuned. All my love! And still..." she concluded. Irvin was hired by WWE in 2021 and was given her big debut the following year on Smackdown. Since then she has called all WWE shows, including calling WrestleMania XL all by herself, earning unlimited praise from her peers. It's unclear what led to her departure from the company, but her boyfriend Ricochet has recently moved to AEW which might or might not have played a role in the decision. > NXT TO TAKE PLACE FROM ECW ARENA ON NOVEMBER 6 - WWE today officially announced that NXT will take place from the ECW Arena, now known as 2300 Arena, on Wednesday, November 6. Tickets for the show will go on sale tomorrow, Tuesday, October 22 at Noon ET at 2300Arena.com. An exclusive pre-sale will start at 10AM ET using the code NXTLIVE. "The city of Philadelphia has a rich wrestling history, and we are excited to bring a night of unforgettable action to such a storied venue," said WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels. The 2300 Arena was made famous by ECW back in its heyday, with many rowdy episodes of ECW television taking place there from 1993 to 2001. Built in 1920, the venue has a max capacity of 1,300 and ECW often exceeded the legal seating capacity of just over 1,000 during its residency. WWE only held one show there when they revived the ECW brand in 2006. Tickets for that show were an instant sellout and featured RVD defending the WWE title against Kurt Angle. NXT will move to Wednesday that week f

Let's see what next week brings! ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at http://www.wrestling-online.com/ > SAMMY GUEVARA CLEARED TO RETURN AFTER CONCUSSION - Sammy Guevara has been cleared to compete after suffering a concussion during the ROH TV tapings earlier this month. A video hyping his return aired on Collision, saying that the only way he can reach his destiny is to beat the best, and one of the best had a great debut last week: Shelton Benjamin. "He's a man I've watched since I was a kid. So I went to Tony Khan personally and asked for this match," Guevara said in the video. "So this Wednesday, for the first time ever live on Dynamite, it's Shelton Benjamin vs Sammy Guevara." The current ROH Tag Team title holder was stretchered out after his taped match against Serpentico when a mistimed spot led to Serpentico landing on Guevara's face, knocking him out. > ANNA JAY EARNS AEW WOMEN'S TITLE SHOT - It's very rare that AEW title eliminator matches are won by challengers, but yesterday at Battle of the Belts XII, Anna Jay broke that streak. In her AEW Women's title eliminator match, Jay defeated champion Mariah May clean via pinfall, earning herself a title match which she will cash in on the November 2 episode of Collision live from Philadelphia. This is May's first loss since winning the AEW Women's title from Toni Storm at All In in Wembley Stadium this past August. May vs Jay main evented the 12th installment of the series and likely the last one carrying the name as the show was not picked up again as part of the new media rights television deal with Warner Bros. Discovery. > AEW CHANGES WAY ON HOW TO PROMOTE UPCOMING EVENTS AND CARDS - AEW has started to change the way they promote upcoming events and matches since the current way of doing it has not been working very well. For the past several months, AEW has taken to social media only to promote matches at events, and typically announces them just days away from the show, with "long-term booking" seemingly out of the window. Live event attendance has pretty much crumbled from past years and advertising - including local ones - is being blamed for the collapse. But AEW has noticed it has to change their approach and already started announcing matches for shows a few weeks in advance, giving them importance by announcing them on television during shows rather than on social media, where only a smaller percentage of fans will see them. They also went a step further last night during the Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling debut event Forged in Excellence, which had several AEW stars on including Don Callis as commentator. During one of the breaks of the show, commentator Mauro Ranallo gave a quick run down of the matches that are coming to Dynamite next week and the Fright Night Dynamite later this month. "Where the Best Wrestle + support their friends," Khan replied in a post on X showing the video of Ranallo running down the card. > WWE RETURNING TO PERTH IN 2025 - The West Australian is reporting that
