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

00:08 Back in the days gone by of 2018, Tessa Blanchard was one of the most sought after talents in

00:13 the wrestling world. After her run in Impact Wrestling, it seemed only a matter of time

00:16 before she was brought into WWE, and the sky was seemingly the limit for her. Then there

00:21 was a bunch of allegations about her which saw many people and promotions not want to

00:24 work with her. Blanchard also married Triple A wrestler Darga, but the two divorced in

00:28 January this year, and now Konnan revealed that Blanchard is not welcome back in Triple

00:33 A on his Keeping It 100 podcast. "She was very disrespectful. She was like, 'Oh, the

00:37 only reason I'm in f***ing Mexico is because of Darga.' It would be very uncomfortable

00:41 after the way they got separated that she'd be in the same dressing room with him, and

00:44 then I don't want to put him in that situation. They were married, she hooked up with some

00:47 other guy and he found out, like one of the boys."

00:50 Meanwhile, stardom has had a hell of a week, hasn't it? There's WWE potentially looking

00:54 at signing one of their top stars, more on that in a bit, another of them signed a deal

00:58 with a new Joji promotion, more on that later too, and another of their top stars being

01:01 rumoured to leave for months now, and now there appears to be some tension brewing elsewhere

01:06 too. Megan Bane has been wrestling in stardom since July, but as reported by Fightful Select,

01:10 it turns out she's been signed to AEW this whole time. Fightful reported that Bane had

01:15 been sent to stardom on an excursion to hone her skills more, but this is where stardom

01:19 refute that. In a since-deleted tweet, stardom tweeted that no wrestler has ever been sent

01:23 by AEW to come to stardom. Not once. Which, while just merely stating the fact that Bane

01:28 was not "sent to stardom", it seems a little heated, right?

01:32 Sean Ross Sapp then clarified that stardom were refuting that Bane was "sent by AEW"

01:37 because it's not an "excursion" in the classic use of the word. However, they maintain

01:40 that Bane has been signed by AEW for months, and got approval from AEW before travelling

01:45 to Japan. Stardom also sent another since-deleted tweet saying, "I'm the person that negotiated

01:50 with Megan every step of the way, leading to her coming to Japan. I've been involved

01:54 with bringing a large majority of Stardom's foreign talent for 8 years now, it's my

01:57 job." Which again, feels a little heated, right? But how much heat is there here really?

02:03 I'm no heat expert, so it's time to hand it over to WrestleTalk's weather reporter

02:06 Helen Temperature to give us the rundown. How's it looking out there Helen?

02:09 "It's three today. Three. You know what they say, good things come in threes."

02:15 Are you sure that's the phrase?

02:17 "Yep, just like how small things come in small packages."

02:20 Is that a wrestling reference?

02:21 "What's wrestling?"

02:22 Ok. Thank you, Helen.

02:25 As mentioned previously, WWE are also looking to sign a top Stardom star...dom soon in the

02:30 form of Julia, the current New Japan Strong Women's Champ according to PWInsider. The

02:35 talks are reportedly so far along that she's expected to be at the WWE Performance Center

02:39 later this month. However, according to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Forum, Julia

02:43 is signed to Stardom until March, and couldn't go to the PC without Bushi Rhodes' approval,

02:48 as well as her schedule being solidly booked through January.

02:51 On top of all this, it had been rumoured that WWE were interested in re-signing Sarray to

02:55 the promotion as well, before it was revealed yesterday that Sarray had actually signed

02:58 a multi-year deal with new American Joshi promotion Sukiban, based in New York. According

03:03 to Fightful, WWE sources hadn't approached her or offered her anything, it was just a

03:07 name that had been floated out as a potential one, so there was no ill will about her decision.

03:11 There's more news on WrestleTalk.com today as well so make sure to check it all out now.

03:15 Over to Luke.

03:16 Thank you as always, but now it's time for my review of Monday Night Raw - aka the War

03:23 Games edition of Monday Night Raw - in about 5 minutes.

03:27 The show opened with a wonderful change of pace. Seth Rollins came out for a promo. He

03:31 recapped the happenings at Crown Jewel where Sami Zayn stole the Money in the Bank briefcase

03:36 from Damian Priest. Seth called out Sami who obliged, but without the briefcase because

03:41 it turns out he just gave it back to Adam Pearce. Alright then. Sami said that he stopped

03:48 Priest because if Priest won the World Heavyweight Championship, there's a chance that Judgment

03:52 Day will become Bloodline 2.0. And Seth announced as a thank you that he'd spoken with Pearce

03:58 to get Sami a shot at the title. Which Sami accepted for tonight. A very good opening

04:03 segment this was. Sami is a really special talent. Judgment Day then beat New Day in

04:07 a good little tag match to further that tag division rebuild - more on that in a bit - and

04:12 it was announced later that they'll defend the tag titles next week against Cody Rhodes

04:16 and Jey Uso. Drew McIntyre came to work but then got all pouty and went home. And Shinsuke

04:20 Nakamura beat Akira Tozawa - with Tozawa getting Halloween one week late by cosplaying as Black

04:26 Rain from TNA. Goldust WWE return confirmed. Otis got in the ring after the match, and

04:31 it was announced later that those two will face off next week.

04:34 We got a video promo for Natalya, and Adam Pearce did a video promo of his own hyping

04:38 up the four men in the number one contenders match to Gunther's IC title. This was a

04:43 cool way of building interest into the match and building all four dudes up, and it led

04:48 to a very fun four way between The Miz, Bronson Reed, Ricochet and Ivar. The best stuff was

04:53 The Big Dudes beating up The Little Dude in Ricochet, and the crowd was super into Miz's

04:57 babyface comeback. The finish was also really cool, as Reed and Ivar both climbed to their

05:02 respective top ropes to hit their respective top rope moves.

05:06 Then it got a little clunky. The idea here is that Reed would miss his move and Miz would

05:12 pin him, while at the same time Ivar would hit his move and he would pin Ricochet. The

05:16 ref counted three but hesitated because both men were pinning at the same time, which gave

05:21 Ricochet enough time to kick out, and Miz scored the win. It left a rather confused

05:27 crowd who just wanted to cheer The Miz winning, and a commentary team scrambling to try and

05:32 explain what just happened. I think, in fairness, this was a good idea in principle, I just

05:38 don't think the execution was particularly good. Ivar attacked Miz after the match, and

05:43 it was later announced they'll face off next week. A good match and say will you will

05:46 about The Miz, and I've said a lot, there is no denying the man was over like Rover.

05:51 We got a video promo for the Creed Brothers and a recap of them and Ivy Nile signing their

05:55 Raw contracts earlier in the day, and then they beat DIY in a fun tag match where Kaisa

05:59 interfered on Gargano for the finish. Becky Lynch cut a promo and was interrupted by Nia

06:03 Jax and the two made jokes about Nia botching and getting fired. They also had Chelsea Green

06:09 and Piper Niven do some comedy with Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark, all to set up the

06:13 idea that the following Battle Royal was every woman for themselves. And what a fun little

06:17 Battle Royal it was. They told a few stories in all of this, which is what all good Battle

06:21 Royals should do. First off, Xia Li attacked Becky Lynch before the match and got herself

06:26 DQ'd, but also took Lynch out of the match. A good way to protect Becky in this match,

06:31 her rear match is clearly being saved for Mania, and it put over Lee's spin kick as

06:34 that's now two women she's knocked out in as many weeks. Did make Lee look a little

06:38 bit sick though because she eliminated herself from a match where she could have won a title

06:42 shot. They also put over Ivy Nile hard, as she made it to the final four of the match

06:47 before being eliminated by an already eliminated Nia Jax. She also got quite a few eliminations

06:52 herself. And thirdly, it put over Zoey Stark who won the whole match, last eliminating

06:57 tag partner Baszler. Stark is a fine match for Ripley at Survivor Series, but I think

07:02 she would have been a better choice if she wasn't just in a title match with Ripley

07:05 two days ago where she lost. The final few minutes with Stark and Baszler were very good.

07:11 And the main event saw Sami Zayn challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship.

07:15 On a recent three count, Oli Davis' three words to describe Seth Rollins were "always

07:20 rooting against". And I agree with him. I was more into the idea of AJ Styles winning

07:26 the belt, I was more into the idea of Finn Balor winning the belt, I was more into Drew

07:30 McIntyre winning at Crown Jewel. Something about this Seth run just isn't connecting

07:34 with me personally, and I can't quite put my finger on why. But I once again found myself

07:39 wanting to see the guy Rollins was facing win the belt from him. Seth has got real Triple

07:44 H in 2004 vibes at Mountain. But this was a good match as you would expect, and Seth

07:49 got the win with a surprise roll up, putting over the idea that he survived this World

07:53 Title defence rather than convincingly defending it.

07:56 And then it all happened. And by all happened, I mean the same thing that's been happening

08:01 for a few months now. Judgment Day ran out for a brawl, Jey Uso ran out for the brawl,

08:05 Cody Rhodes ran out for the brawl, Adam Pearce came out and said "War Games". I told

08:10 you this was going to be a long two months to get here, and bloody hell it has been.

08:15 But look, we're here now. We're here now and we've got War Games. I imagine Kevin

08:19 Owens and Jimmy Uso will get added to the match to make it 5 on 5.

08:22 This was a really good, cracking edition of Monday Night Raw with a fabulous World Title

08:27 match, a good Battle Royal, fun tank action and a fatal four way that, clunky finish aside,

08:32 was very entertaining. This week's show is a high 4 out of 5.

08:36 The semifinals of Fantasy Booking Warfare kick off this week with myself vs. Oliver

08:40 Davis where I'm going to crush him. So find out who is making it to the other side of

08:44 the semifinal bracket as Laurie Blake and Pete Quinnell book Logan Paul as WWE Champion.
