00:00 Welcome to the WrestleTalk News, I'm Pete Quinnell.

00:08 There's been a lot of talk online lately about Adam Copeland, aka Edge, joining AEW,

00:13 and we'll have more on that shortly, but there hasn't been much in the way of AEW

00:17 stars joining WWE, aside from like, Brian Pillman Jr. and that was a while ago.

00:22 However, that may now be about to change, as Fightful Select is reporting that Jade

00:26 Cargill is likely finished with All Elite Wrestling.

00:30 Cargill returned on last week's Collision episode, setting up a rematch with Chris Statlander,

00:35 which was made for this week's episode of Rampage.

00:37 As Rampage is taped, that match has now happened, and spoilers, Chris Statlander won to retain

00:42 her TBS title.

00:44 Select is reporting that Cargill specifically returned so she could put over Statlander

00:47 clean, and they also note that according to AEW sources, as things stand right now, Cargill

00:52 is finishing up with AEW with the September 13th taping being her last appearance.

00:57 But perhaps more interestingly is what she's doing next, as Fightful Select is reporting

01:01 that both AEW and WWE sources believe she's headed to WWE.

01:05 It's worth noting that there reportedly hasn't been an official offer as of yet,

01:09 and it's still unclear exactly how much time she has left on her AEW contract, but

01:14 the current wide rumour amongst WWE and AEW rosters is that Jade Cargill will be joining

01:20 WWE.

01:21 Jade is one of the only truly homegrown AEW talent, so this does feel like a major shift

01:26 for the promotion, but I personally am quite excited if we do get her in WWE.

01:30 For matches against Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Becky Lynch, Asuka, it all sounds quite delightful.

01:34 But there's also potentially more people going the other way too, as previously mentioned.

01:40 The big names currently rumoured to join AEW soon are Edge and Mercedes Monet, with Mercedes

01:45 even teasing it on X, posting the lyrics to Edge's theme song.

01:48 PWInsider had the latest on Edge, reporting that Adam Copeland had been removed from WWE's

01:54 internal roster list, which definitely lends some credence to him at least being done with

01:58 WWE at the very least.

02:00 However, they then provided an update, noting that he had actually been added back to the

02:04 roster list, but was now listed as "miscellaneous talent", which is where some wrestlers are

02:09 listed who are signed but not currently in use, including those who are injured too.

02:13 Sounds like they need to add Roman Reigns to that list, am I right guys?

02:17 Because he's not on TV very much.

02:20 Speaking of, speculation ran wild online recently as Roman Reigns was noticeably absent from

02:25 WWE's advertising of next year's Royal Rumble event, which was confirmed to be taking

02:29 place in Florida's Tropicana Field, leading some to think that Reigns may not be on the

02:34 show at all.

02:35 However, that is just speculation currently.

02:37 What's not speculation though is that the AEW All In London turnstile count has been

02:43 revealed.

02:44 Using the Freedom of Information Act, a request from a Mr. Ian M. Banders was sent to the

02:49 Brent Borough Council asking what their recorded attendance for the show was, Brent being the

02:54 borough where Wembley Stadium is located.

02:57 The Brent Borough Council then responded, noting that the turnstile count they had on

03:01 record was 72,265, which is reflective of the attendance on the night and not the total

03:08 number of tickets sold or no shows, etc.

03:10 AEW announced a paid attendance of 81,035, however the turnstile count for WWE's WrestleMania

03:17 32 according to WrestleNomics was 80,709, over 8,000 more than All In's, which does

03:24 cast some doubt over AEW's claim of the biggest wrestling show of all time.

03:28 It is still unclear which show actually sold more tickets as well, as All In could have

03:32 had a much bigger no show percentage, especially considering there were National Rail train

03:36 strikes on the day of the show, making travel especially difficult, so it still might be

03:41 the biggest wrestling show of all time, but that entirely depends on your definition of

03:45 it and whether you count tickets sold or the attendance on the night.

03:48 Very conclusive.

03:49 And now a word from today's sponsor.

03:54 I said and now a word from today's sponsor.

03:57 PKS What, PKS What?

03:58 Here we go.

03:59 I'm renaming the company.

04:00 Shocking news, never heard that one before.

04:02 Here's what I've got.

04:03 I think I'm caught in a time loop.

04:06 Mine is power.

04:07 It's WIP, it's a work in progress.

04:10 I think it's pretty much the finished article.

04:13 Undiluted solar plexus.

04:14 That's a USP.

04:16 Ok, how about energetic molecular toxicity.

04:20 EMTs.

04:21 I've got it, Pete.

04:23 Violet Prism Nodules.

04:24 I get it, VPN.

04:27 Surfshark VPN is an online tool that keeps you safe wherever you browse by masking your

04:31 important information - which means you can check sensitive stuff like your bank account

04:35 even on public WiFi.

04:38 Surfshark keeps your location and download history private and encrypted, meaning you

04:41 can send or receive files securely too, like my ongoing spreadsheet of three letter acronyms

04:46 for the company.

04:47 But on top of that, Surfshark also allows you access to any of 3,200 servers in over

04:53 100 countries - allowing you to fool your phone, laptop or tablet into thinking you're

04:58 in a different country - meaning you Americans can still get the old WWE Network.

05:04 I love you, superior search function!

05:11 you can get 83% off plus three months for free when you use the code WRESTLETALK on

05:16 checkout.

05:17 Go to Surfshark.deals/wrestletalk and use the promo code WRESTLETALK for 83% off and

05:25 It's Thursday, you know what that means.

05:28 My review of AEW Dynamite… in about 5 minutes.

05:32 But if you take those 5 minutes, along with my 33.3% chance of winning minus your 25%

05:38 chance, that means I've only got a minus negative 141.2% chance of completing it.

05:51 The Cincinnati, Ohio show opened cheering its bloodiest of sons.

05:55 Jon Moxley defending his International Championship against Large William Big Bill.

06:00 Big Bill might've had more random pairings than the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.

06:04 He's been with The Firm, he's been with Brian Cage, he's been with Ricky Starks

06:08 this year alone.

06:09 But no matter who he's packaged with, he has been consistently fantastic as an arrogant

06:14 big man.

06:15 He and Moxley had a great opener, particularly in the final third with a Big Bill Bossman

06:19 Slam.

06:20 Moxley bleeding everywhere presumably because it's his hometown and he hadn't done

06:24 that for a while, and Brian Danielson brawling with Ricky Starks on the outside furthering

06:28 their feud.

06:29 Big Bill got cocky in all this, and Moxley caught his arm in a triangle choke for the

06:33 win.

06:34 Later on backstage, Danielson announced he and Claudio will take on Long Willie and Starks

06:38 on Collision, Mox will fight Fenix at Grand Slam, and Eddie Kingston also appeared purely

06:43 to give Claudio evils.

06:44 I've finally figured out what Don Callis and his paintings gimmick reminds me of.

06:48 No, not a giant penis.

06:50 The bad guy from Ghostbusters 2, VEGO.

06:54 Don cut an in-ring promo to announce Tekeshta's new nickname as the Alpha, and then declared

06:59 beating that useless cuck Kenny Omega twice isn't enough.

07:03 They're going to take what matters most to him next.

07:05 They're going to butcher Kota Ibushi.

07:09 Later on, Callis wanted some of that sweet Daniel Garcia dancing, yelling 'that's

07:13 money' at him backstage.

07:15 I think Garcia joining the family would be a great move.

07:18 The only bad thing on the show was the fatal four-way of Shida, Britt Baker, Nyla Rose

07:21 and Toni Storm to decide who fights Serea for the title next week.

07:25 Not because it was a bad match or anything.

07:27 Because it only went 7 minutes, three of which were in the commercial break.

07:31 Those couple of main event spots last month appeared to have only ever been lipstick service,

07:35 as AEW is once again treating its women's division as a total afterthought.

07:39 Orange Cassidy saw Hook's FTW title backstage and mournfully said how he used to have a

07:44 title, which genuinely made the crowd amigo.

07:47 I'm very interested to see where Cassidy goes next.

07:50 After falling out for the 163rd time last week, Les X Gods cut a respectful in-ring

07:55 promo together here.

07:56 Chris Jericho is proud of Sammy Guevara, having had picked him before AEW's launch, watching

08:01 him grow into a man.

08:03 While Sammy is thankful for the opportunity, but they're both aware he needs to become

08:06 more than Jericho's sidekick.

08:09 Next week at Grand Slam, he'll have a chance to do just that, where Sammy vowed to earn

08:13 Jericho's respect by beating him, even though Jericho is going to beat the living hell out

08:18 of him.

08:19 Then afterwards, I'll go to win the tag titles.

08:21 I've not been into their relationship for about two years now, but this was effectively

08:27 done.

08:28 Page vs Cage Episode 3 was probably the least best of their trilogy of matches, but it was

08:32 still awesome, with both guys having great chemistry together.

08:35 At one point, I thought they were working so stiff, Hangman's boobie did a Cody.

08:39 It's for the Adversa Titty.

08:41 Quiet Adversa Titty.

08:42 It was thankfully only Brian Cage's face paint that rubbed off him in a headlock.

08:47 Hangman not only overcame face paint Adversa Titty, he also worked through Swerve Strickland's

08:51 entrance music distraction, winning with a dead eye for a change.

08:55 Likely effectively setting up a better near fall spot when Swerve kicks out of that move

08:58 at WrestleDream.

08:59 Swerve, again, was excellent here.

09:02 He didn't come down and get involved, he just stood at the top of the ramp, not smiling

09:06 or cackling, but angry.

09:08 Just made him feel more powerful, not lifting a finger himself as Cage and Prince Narnar

09:13 beat down Hangman after the match.

09:15 The Young Bucks made the save, with Prince Narnar creating your next gif to use with

09:19 the caption 'Me saving up enough money for a house deposit.

09:22 Rising inflation costs behind you.'

09:24 We got a recap package of Jade Cargill returning on Collision to really rejuvenate AEW's

09:29 women's division for years to co-aw, awkward.

09:33 Darby Allin and Nick Wayne relatively easily dispatched 2.0 in a tag match, with a thumb

09:37 weighing moonsault to the outside, Darby coughing drop on the inside off the same turnbuckle

09:41 for the finish.

09:42 But like most Darby segments these days, it was all just a prelude to the next great Christian

09:47 promo.

09:48 Already out on commentary, Christian grabbed a mic and confessed he's been scrolling

09:51 through Nick Wayne's mum's Instagram account, and she doesn't post enough bikini pics.

09:55 He then challenged Darby and Sting for Grand Slam, but this time, with his real tag team

10:01 partner - which I got stupidly excited about because I thought he was going to say Edge,

10:05 but then of course he said… he said Luchasaurus.

10:12 The main event was the tournament final of Samoa Joe vs Roderick Strong, which AEW did

10:16 a great job building throughout the night.

10:18 Adam Cole had tried to warn Strong about how Joe injured his neck the first time around,

10:22 and Max cut a promo on both guys he'll potentially face next week, with Cole looking annoyed

10:27 while MJF ran down Strong.

10:28 But then jubilant as Max did one of the best, most seamlessly integrated Scott Steiner math

10:34 promos I've ever seen when he talked about Samoa Joe - playing it totally seriously rather

10:39 than overly wink wink.

10:41 My only criticism is that MJF said 'drastically go down', which is correct English, but

10:46 not correct Steiner.

10:48 That would be 'drastic go down'.

10:51 The actual match was a really well done heel vs heel dynamic, with Joe's badass awesomeness

10:56 getting babyface reactions.

10:57 The story and characters are so well developed here that heel vs heel gave the crowd many

11:02 more elements to be invested in beyond just 'boo this person' and 'cheer that guy'.

11:08 Taz was excellent on commentary too, not just explaining Joe's offence, which is very

11:12 similar to his old style, but also putting over Roddy's neck injury with his own history

11:16 of a broken neck.

11:17 Roddy got a nice near fall at the end off an Olympic slam, but this was more a decisive

11:21 victory for Joe, who made Strong tap in the Coquina Clutch.

11:25 Something was surely afoot, though, as there were then about 5 minutes still left until

11:29 the top of the hour - it was there for a very neatly done sequence of angles.

11:33 As soon as Roddy saw Adam Cole come down to check on him, he immediately fell to the floor

11:38 holding his neck, screaming 'ADAM' and had to be stretched to the back.

11:42 It was equal parts hilarious and really good storytelling for his and Cole's relationship.

11:47 Standing alone on the ramp, watching Roddy be wheeled out, Joe then made a surprise attack

11:52 on Cole, giving Joe vs MJF that extra bit of spice going into their title match next

11:57 week.

11:58 This was all done really effectively and succinctly told.

12:00 A very welcome four week build, as opposed to the usual three month elongated stories

12:05 we get because of AEW's pay-per-view cycle.

12:08 This was a very good, focused, go-home show for Grand Slam.

12:12 This week's Dynamite is 82%.

12:15 Now go watch me listing all the times wrestlers warned us about CM Punk.
