Surprised by Ever-Rise and Breeze and Fandango. They just did the top 50 tag teams with them as hosts. But they are getting older.

Bollywood Boyz are gone too. Bret Hart is gonna be (more) pissed.

EDIT: Additional releases:

Marina Shafir (former tag partner of Jessamyn Duke from the 4HW; Roderick Strong's wife)
Curt Stallion
"Marco" Ruas (I think they mean Arturo Ruas)
Killian Dain

SRS, PWI Insider and Bryan Alvarez are confirming these names.

Breeze is really the only shocking one for just how involved he is on the social media side.


Everyone else is just sort of... yeah.

Not really surprised by Shafir after they released Duke, Neither of them progressed and after SB went main roster they stopped being used and just played video games on line.


Killian Dain maybe because he saw a pretty big push especially in that tag team with Maverick. He was a decent big man.


But outside of Fandango and Breeze not much there that AEW or Impact should really look at.

Yeah I don't see anyone getting AEW treatment here. I can see Breeze going to Impact, and Ever-Rise doing stuff with NJPW/AJPW/NOAH, but the rest are indies bound.

I actually think there's been enough releases this year for ROH to do a bit of a revamp. No one wants to keep watching Matt Taven and Jay Lethal. They need fresh blood. Big Damo might do well mixing it up with Brody King and PCO.

I like Breeze, he's extremely talented and there's the Lance Storm Connection. And he's still relatively young at 33. But he's a guy that easily gets lost in the shuffle.

Zelina Vega is back in WWE. I knew there were rumors she was coming back but I figured after her husband was released it wasn't going to happen.

I'm guessing AEW didn't roll out the mat for her, and probably her online revenue dried up when she faded from the public spot light.



I doubt she's going to be as vigilant and pro unionize wrestlers as she used to be.



She looked pretty rusty yesterday and Liv (who is steadily improving) carried her to a halfway decent match

How to blow a push. Jimmy Uso pulled over for his second DUI in a couple of years.

Really good Great American Bash, The O'Reilly Cole main event was off the charts as was the tag team title match. The Woman's tag team championship match between Io and Stark and the Way felt a little off kilter, but I loved the return. Go to 1:00 on the video for a great return.

They probably could have added another short match instead of that rap performance. I went for a bathroom break thinking it would be done by the time I came back but nope.

That will be a release that WWE will regret I think, he was wasted after he left NXT but I feel like he has star quality of used right.

There was talk they already regretted it not long after the release and were trying to bring him back. If true I can't say I blame him for turning them down even if his wife came back.

Raw ratings continue to plummet. with 1.472 million watching them. I keep wondering how long Vince will allow his beloved flagship show to be battered like this before he loses his mind.



Smackdown was at 1.86 million viewers which was up from the previous week, but still one of the historic worst.


NXT was up slightly at 654,000 viewers


AEW last week was up slightly at 893,000

I loved AEW last night, the live crowds are a banger for their brand. Particularly, I think Adam Page is having a rocket strapped to his ass, the crowd chanting "Cowboy ####" during the Evil Uno/Kenny Omega showdown and the ring clearing was off the charts. Additionally, the Bucks vs. Penta/Kingston match was wildly entertaining and the crowd ate it up.

Tommy End got a great reaction too, although did anyone else notice the announcer confusion about the names? It's Tommy End! No, it's Malachai Black! But it's Tommy End! haha ...
