00:00Two major heel turns in AEW, Shane McMahon's Monét meeting confirmed, my review of AEW

00:07Dynamite and more.

00:08I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:19After five months of me asking for it, Mercedes Monét finally went full heel in AEW last

00:25night.

00:26Seemingly aligning herself with the Elite, and entering a feud against the women's

00:29division's returning babyface Britt Baker.

00:32It's DMD vs CEO.

00:35But the Elite aren't the only wrestling authority figures Monét's been chatting

00:39to.

00:40Because there's also CEO heart Shane O'Mac.

00:45Here comes a Monét.

00:47Monét calls.

00:48Here comes a Monét.

00:49Monét, Monét, Monét, Monét, Monét, Monét, Monét, Monét, Monét.

00:53And Shane McMahon.

00:54It was previously reported by PWInsider that Monét just so happened to coincidentally run

00:59into Shane McMahon at New York's LaGuardia airport while she was travelling to Forbidden

01:03Door on Sunday, where they talked about AEW.

01:08This comes off the back of Conrad Thompson recently saying on JR's podcast that he's

01:12heard Shane had contacted talent in AEW.

01:16It's been speculated these rumours could be Shane's way to get a WWE return.

01:21Nick Khan and Triple H might decide to bring him back in so he doesn't go to AEW.

01:27Mercedes herself has now confirmed the meeting via her official newsletter, revealing that

01:31Shane also gave Monét his number before they parted ways the dock.

01:36She signed off.

01:37The rest, as they say, is history.

01:39Or maybe a mystery.

01:41I can't believe I want Shane McMahon in AEW so much.

01:45How would you book him joining the Elite?

01:47Tell me by beating Bryan Danielson in a straight up wrestling match in the comments down below.

01:52Talking of McMahons in wrestling, Vince is still bad for it.

01:55Dijak was shockingly released by WWE last week after getting called up from a successful

02:00NXT run to do… absolutely nothing.

02:04But sometimes a complete lack of creative plans is better than Vince booking you in

02:08retribution.

02:09In a recent interview with Pro Wrestling Bits, Dijak recalled the most memorable, terrible

02:13idea during his stint as T-Bar was…

02:16This was a Vince idea.

02:17Vince wanted Mia Yim to pretend she was having a seizure.

02:21We were presented this by the writer, the producer.

02:24We didn't want to shoot the messenger.

02:25You could see in their face that they're like, I'm sorry, but Vince wants you to

02:30have a seizure.

02:31We're all like, what are you talking about?

02:33We can't do this.

02:34That's the way the production meetings worked back then under Vince.

02:38Because he'd say something, and everyone would just have wide eyes because you can't

02:42call him on it.

02:43Retribution was so bad, we went back and watched the Raw episode when they first debuted.

02:47Which also featured the first ever Raw Underground.

02:50Dijak and Shane McMahon in the same episode.

02:53It's the Raw where WWE lost their mind.

02:56Here's a clip.

03:23It's coming, Raw Underground, and so are you, with these women.

03:53Now it's time for my review of AEW Dynamite.

04:03BEACH BREAK.

04:04WHY BEACH BREAK?

04:05I HAVE NO IDEA BECAUSE THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY ZERO HAWAIIAN SHIRTS.

04:09What's the point of doing a beach branded wrestling show if Tony Schiavone isn't wearing

04:14a Hawaiian shirt?

04:17In about 5 minutes.

04:18The show opened cold on Renee Paquette interviewing Daniel Garcia ahead of his Will Ospreay International

04:23title match, when MJF stepped in to ask to be in Garcia's corner.

04:26I'm sure MJF has no other plans for this.

04:31The first match was a pay-per-view calibre bout between Bryan Danielson and PAC in the

04:35Owen Hart Tournament semifinal.

04:37Bryan's neck was a target, taped up and cupped after years of accumulated damage,

04:41so PAC rightfully went right for it with a Tombstone Piledriver and a Top Rope Avalanche

04:46Brainbuster.

04:47Danielson's selling was amazing, getting over the numbness in his arm as much as the

04:51pain in his neck.

04:52The final sequence of near falls was so well done, I actually thought PAC might win it,

04:56but Danielson got the last technical pin to advance.

04:59The ROH Champion Mark Briscoe then revealed he bleeds AEW, declaring himself as the first

05:06member of Team AEW for blood and guts.

05:08Jack Perry took him out, who was attacked by Kyle O'Reilly, who, in turn, was laid

05:13out by Okada and the rest of the Elite.

05:15I thought they missed an opportunity to have the new TNT Champion Perry speak in front

05:20of the CM Punk-loving Chicago crowd, where he could've got some nuclear heat.

05:24Also, as much as I love Briscoe, if Team AEW is going to be him and the acclaimed who made

05:29up the segment's final save, that's quite underwhelming.

05:33In both a tournament and blood feud grudge match, Willow Nightingale and Chris Statland

05:37are brawled in their Owen Hart fight.

05:39But in the first of two weapon backfire spots on this episode, Chris went to use Stokely's

05:43chain, nearly hit Stokely, letting Willow get the roll-up victory.

05:47There's more in this feud, and Willow advances.

05:50In the episode's best segment, Britt Baker cut an in-ring promo following her return

05:54at Forbidden Door.

05:55She spoke about her past, revealing she'd had a mini-stroke 10 months ago, her present

06:00that she's now medically cleared, and her future, she's coming for Mercedes Monet.

06:05Which is when her big comeback segment was interrupted on the Trom by Mercedes arriving

06:10backstage, where she's greeted by the Bucks telling her her championship celebration is

06:14ready as balloons start to get set up around Baker in the ring.

06:18Meaning, after almost five months, we finally got heel Sasha Banks.

06:23Her promo style, her facials, her character, it was all far more suited to Monet's talents.

06:29The two went back and forth on the mic, saying the word bitch a lot, where Baker challenged

06:33Mercedes to a match at All In.

06:35Bitch.

06:36For Monet to reply, she has to get to the back of the line.

06:39Also bitch.

06:40Chris Jericho replaced Taz on commentary next, getting Taz escorted out of the arena.

06:45It was so he could watch Hook's trios match with Samoa Joe and Shibata against the Cage

06:49Wagonee up close.

06:50After a triple submission finish, the rest of the Learning Tree attacked the Faces with

06:54chairs for a hardcore beatdown angle.

06:56Pulmonising Shibata's arm, hitting Joe with a chair, hitting Hook with the brass nuts,

07:01and then Big Bill chokeslamming him through a table.

07:03And as if all that wasn't enough, Jericho fireballed him backstage later.

07:07Jeff Jarrett was in full veteran babyface mode for his Owen Hart first round match.

07:12He was fighting for his tragically past best friend Owen, and cut one of the best promos

07:16of the year to build this journey.

07:18Which is why it was extra awesome his mystery wildcard opponent was the returning Hangman

07:23Page.

07:24A man somehow even more aggressive than when he left, where he proceeded to beat the crap

07:29out of Jarrett.

07:30Jeff got some great comeback spots like a stroke on the apron and a buckshot lariat caught

07:34into a sharpshooter, but it was inevitable.

07:37Hangman won, taking aim at Swerve Strickland's world title.

07:41He's so focused on Swerve that he rudely turned down the bucks, asking him to join

07:45the Elite in blood and guts.

07:46He's in the Owen, and he's going to win that.

07:49Although I think if Swerve joins Team AEW, Hangman will reconsider.

07:53The main event was the neatly built up Ospreay vs Garcia match for the international title.

07:58Shortly before, during a backstage interview, Ospreay had left the Don Callis family, telling

08:03Don he just doesn't have it in him anymore.

08:05Don said he's proud of him, but then hugged Will in that soap opera Evil Intentions Face

08:09Behind Your Back way.

08:10It was well performed, but I feel like this was a waste of what could've been a much

08:14bigger deal.

08:15See, Paul Heyman on last Friday's SmackDown.

08:18The actual match was awesome, starting off technical, and then going to Ospreay's spectacular

08:22moveset, getting caught in various submissions from Garcia.

08:25MJF slid Garcia the Diamond Ring, but Daniel couldn't bring himself to use it, a momentary

08:30lapse of concentration that let Will hit the Hidden Blade to retain.

08:34Ospreay consoled a crying Garcia in the corner afterwards and then left.

08:38MJF did the same, blaming himself for passing him the ring… to then kick him in the balls.

08:44There's my Max.

08:46He blooded Daddy Magic.

08:47He blooded Daniel Garcia.

08:49He punched security off the apron.

08:51He second-roped Tombstoned Garcia as Not Adam Pearce tried to stop him.

08:55I don't know why that's so bad, I've seen Darby Allin take it for a near fall.

08:58Ospreay then limped down to chase Max off, who warped through the crowd and actually

09:02physically shoved the fan, all while Garcia got a stretcher job.

09:05A hot angle that really makes me want to watch Collision where MJF will open the show.

09:10This week's Dynamite is 82%.

09:13But I'll tell you what's going to be even more Dynamite, Deadpool vs Wolverine, out

09:17later this month!

09:18Watch the brand new episode of What's On with Luke and Dan to find out more movie release

09:22news.
