News update from Tuesday
WWE
- WWE stock is up 2.79 percent today to close the day at $74.12 a share. That’s the highest level the stock has reached in the past year.
- Raw announcer Byron Saxton will commentate on NXT tonight alongside Wade Barrett. Saxton is filling in for Vic Joseph after Joseph and McKenzie Mitchell got married in Italy over the weekend. NXT Level Up’s Sudu Shah also calls the show with Saxton and Barrett.
- Before today’s NXT, Grayson Waller hyped that it will be insightful a “Halloween Havoc exclusive” in the episode. Waller is hosting a Grayson-Waller Effect talk show with Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade tonight.
- jade shared a picture of the new NXT logo/graphics with their updated color scheme.
- NBC Sports Boston podcast Ten Count interviewed Raquel Rodriguez. Rodriguez said she hopes WWE will add a title like the Intercontinental Championship or the North American Championship to the women’s division:
- 100 percent. I think that would be something great for the women’s division, especially because we have so much diversity in the women’s division. We have women from all over the world, from all over the country, from different backgrounds and different ethnicities. I think having an intercontinental championship, a North American championship for the women would be something. Just a huge leap forward for the women’s division in wrestling in general.
- And I personally feel like that’s possible and could possibly happen in the near future, so I’m looking forward to it, and maybe you know you’re going to be making new history.
- The WWE YouTube channel featured John Cena vs. Batista in a Last Man Standing match for the WWE Championship from Extreme Rules 2010, Belair, Ripley & Morgan vs. Lynch, Doudrop & Nikki ASH from the April 28 episode of Raw. February 2022 and Kane vs Umaga from Unforgiven 2006.
AEW/Other Wrestling
- AEW uploaded its Road to Washington, DC video ahead of tomorrow’s third anniversary episode of Dynamite.
- On Twitter, MJF announced that his game against Wheeler Yuta will be the first match on the show this Wednesday: “I was at the very first Dynamite. I’ll be in the first Dynamite 3 Year Anniversary match on Wednesday night on @TBSNetwork against Wheelsy. I am @AEW…..as long as @TonyKhan keeps paying #2024”
- Tony Khan appeared with Robbie Fox in Barstool Sports’ “My Mom’s Basement.” During the interview, Khan said that AEW initially wanted The Great Muta to perform on All Out:
- Great Muta that we had talked about for a long time. It was funny because Mox mentioned it in the press conference and we were already talking about it. I was like there with New Japan. So I was like, ‘I don’t know if this is the best time’ and we were already working on it. But like, yes, the timing was very good. I originally wanted to get Muta for All Out and he wasn’t available. Then it just seemed like a good deal for Grand Slam.
- Khan also spoke about the role of Paul Wight in AEW:
- Paul, it was great to see him up and down. Paul Wight is such a great presence in pro wrestling and when he’s healthy and can be back on the shows, you know I want to show Paul. Unfortunately, he was often injured during his time at AEW. He’s great at commenting when he’s been able to travel. I think that’s something, he honestly has a bright future. I think he worked very, very hard at it and deserves chances there. So I have a lot of great things to say about Paul Wight.
- This week’s episode of Sammy Guevara’s vlog is now available.
- Minoru Suzuki posted an Instagram tribute to Antonio Inoki.
- Big Time Wrestling co-promoter Steve Perkins spoke about Ricky Steamboat’s return to the ring:
- So, and some of that, I’ll deal with that as much as I can [Perkins said about Ricky Steamboat’s in-ring return] But obviously everyone had heard about Ricky possibly getting back in the ring for Ric’s “last match” and for whatever reason it didn’t happen and you know it’s probably a multitude of reasons that most in the Internet are not right, but did not happen. But that let me know that, hey, Ricky doesn’t mind. Ricky is capable of this. That was close because Ricky’s agent was a friend of mine, Tony Hunter, who’s also an agent for a lot of people. board [Hart] and I happened to be in Knoxville for a comic con and I was there with Bret. I just started asking Ricky questions, and Ricky wasn’t averse to doing it, and I just walked up to Ricky and said, ‘Ricky, tonight is going to be about you. This is a night about Ricky Steamboat.’ We do it at [J.S.] Dorton Arena, and that’s just a historic spot for Ricky Steamboat, it’s a historic spot for Jim Crockett. The height of an hour draws Ricky and Ric [Flair] probably had is insurmountable the number of times they’ve probably walked 60 minutes and it’s just a historic building and a great place and I said, ‘Ricky, it’s going to be a classy thing. It’s going to be all about you, and we’ve got a heck of a lot of talent wanting to jump on board and deal with it. ‘So it took me quite a bit of time to convince him and come to terms with it, but it’s going to be incredible. I know in my head who’s committed to being there and it hasn’t been fully announced yet because we’d love to film promos first, but… the talent on the show doesn’t end with Ricky Steamboat. It could be Ricky Steamboat in a match and you could take the ring off and go home and everyone would get their money’s worth because I don’t know if you heard I don’t think Ric Flair could have been more correct but when asked about it on his podcast, Ric said, “Hey, Ricky Steamboat wouldn’t get in the ring for this if he didn’t do it right and look like a million Bucks’ and Ricky train, Ricky trained, Ricky did no carbs after lunch. Ricky takes his body seriously now so I guarantee nobody will be disappointed with Ricky Steamboat in the ring.
