00:00WWE stars upset over the breakup of the Judgment Day, a new AEW TV show, Vince McMahon denied

00:07in the Janelle Grant lawsuit and more. I'm Luke Owen and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:17Last Saturday's SummerSlam saw a hell of a lot of things go down, four title changes

00:21and the return of Roman Reigns to say the least, but also the implosion of the Judgment

00:26which saw Dominik Mysterio choose Liv Morgan over Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor screw Damian

00:30Priest out of the World Heavyweight Championship. And according to Dave Shoemaker on The Ringer,

00:35the breakup of the team brought about some real feels in the locker room. He said on

00:39their SummerSlam review, there were some legitimate tears going on backstage, not because of anybody

00:44stealing someone else's boyfriend, but because this family is done. Shoemaker doesn't say

00:50which member of the group was crying, but my money is on R-Truth. While all of the members

00:54of the group both old and new will still be on Raw, it means that they can no longer

00:58travel together, and Shoemaker explained this is what brought the tears to the surface.

01:03And the hype from SummerSlam coupled with a particularly hot streak for WWE saw huge

01:08success for Raw in the ratings this week. The show drew an impressive 1.7 million viewers

01:14for this week's show, a good number on any week, but a very good number considering that

01:18Raw was moved to a different network which usually hurts TV ratings, and it was competing

01:23against Olympics coverage. As we saw last week, Raw, Smackdown and AEW were all hurt

01:28by the Olympics coverage, all losing around 20% of their audience. So Raw pulling back

01:33that 20% it lost last week means, as Dave Meltzer writes for Figure Four Online, this

01:37show would likely have topped 2 million viewers on USA and without Olympic competition.

01:43And it wasn't just on TV that Raw was drawing good numbers. The YouTube clips for this week's

01:47show have been massive, with Finn Balor and Liv Morgan revealing the New Judgment Day,

01:52the Damien Priest match with J.D. McDonough and the Terra Twins interview all doing over

01:561 million views each. CM Punk and Seth Rollins' segment also drew nearly 1 million views at

02:00the time of this writing, and the White 6 debut match is pushing 900,000 views.

02:05But over on the socials, the big draw has been the surprise debut of Odyssey Jones.

02:11Jones was drafted to Raw in last year's draft, and then never made it onto TV. He

02:16last had a TV match in NXT in April of last year, and has not wrestled for WWE since

02:21March of this year where he was losing to Omos on house shows. He was then, hilariously,

02:27drafted to Raw again in the 2024 draft, despite there being, apparently, no creative plans

02:32for him.

02:33And it would appear this lack of TV time has turned Odyssey Jones somewhat into a meme,

02:37and that has helped his social media numbers. Across the various social media platforms,

02:41Jones' debut and joining New Day has pushed into millions of views. According to PWInsider,

02:48WWE were thrilled with this social media response. But before we get into the rest

03:48of the show, here are a few highlights from last month's show.

04:07Great Bombs makes its return to partsFUNknown today, you all seemed to enjoy our debate

04:11show we did last month where we debated who was the best member of the Shield, and today

04:15Myself, Oli Davis and Dan Layton will be debating topics like best and worst Summerslams and

04:20the best WWE returns. Head over to partsFUNknown right now or click the video in the description

04:24to watch us debate live.

04:26While WWE are having great success with their TV shows and their increased rights fees with

04:31their new TV deals, we're still waiting on an announcement from All Elite Wrestling

04:35about their television future. Tony Khan tweeted that he had a great meeting with Warner Bros.

04:39Discovery's David Zaslov at the Olympics and noted that it was an exciting time and

04:43the future was bright for the company. And perhaps that could be because, reportedly,

04:47the relationship between AEW and WBD is really strong, and the two groups have been meeting

04:52a lot about crossovers. And one of those crossovers was announced yesterday. TNT announced a new

04:58show Overdrive which will see clips of car crashes, chases and extreme sports, so think

05:03of it like this. The key to us here on this wrestling news program is that Overdrive will

05:17feature AEW stars, who will give, what TNT describes on their website as, exclusive stories.

05:23The show will air immediately after Collision.

05:25AEW will also find themselves going head to head with NXT again this coming October when

05:29Dynamite is moved to Tuesday night for one week. As we've seen in the past when NXT

05:34and AEW run head to head in direct competition, both companies load up their shows. NXT even

05:40had Undertaker, John Cena and Cody Rhodes appear on an episode of NXT to best AEW in

05:45the ratings. But remember, there will be some comments in this video that will tell you

05:49that WWE do not see All Elite Wrestling as competition.

05:52And yesterday NXT announced that the October 8th show, which will go head to head with

05:55Dynamite, will see Randy Orton make a special appearance. However this time it's not directly

06:01related to AEW Dynamite being moved to Tuesday. That October 8th episode will be the second

06:07NXT to air on their new home of The CW, and Shawn Michaels announced that the first two

06:11episodes of NXT on CW will be on the road. The first episode taking place at the All

06:17State Arena in Chicago, and the second airing live from St. Louis, which is Orton's hometown.

06:22And as one would expect with a wrestling show in Chicago, CM Punk has been announced

06:26to appear on the CW debut of NXT. And they won't be alone, as Corey Brennan of Fightful

06:31Select reports that those we spoke to expect the both the October 1st and 8th live NXTs

06:36to feature more main roster talent than just Randy Orton and CM Punk.

06:40NXT running two big buildings is a huge move for the brand, but Dave Meltzer has written

06:45in the Figure 4 Subscriber Update that this does not mean it will become a major arena

06:50show every week. The report says that NXT will continue to be taped from Orlando unless

06:55they decide a show is big enough to run in a bigger building. The ticket sales and demand

07:00for these two live shows in Chicago and St. Louis will play a big factor into future NXT

07:05touring plans. Fightful Select add in their report, there was a general sense of excitement

07:09for NXT returning to the road, but it is unknown as of this writing if it will be a permanent

07:15change.

07:16Speaking of NXT, last night saw I Believe in Joe Hendry defeat Joe Coffey in his first

07:20singles match in WWE. Hendry is of course a TNA wrestler, and this is part of the NXTNA

07:26crossover. Reports have said that WWE have been very impressed with how over Hendry has

07:30gotten and, particularly, his social media numbers and ability to go viral. Hendry himself

07:35revealed that WWE and TNA have come to an unprecedented deal where Hendry can appear

07:40on both shows and have access to WWE's Performance Center. However Corey Brennan reported on

07:45Fightful Select ahead of last night's NXT, Joe Hendry is set for a promo tonight and

07:50is expected to be a goodbye promo. Brennan noted that the promo segment was not rehearsed

07:55and they hadn't heard any concrete details that he was done with his time in NXT. And

07:59it would appear that this was somewhat of a swerve, as Hendry said after his match last

08:03night, I like it here and I might just stay for a little longer. Fightful Select add in

08:08their report that Hendry recently scaled back his work with his own promotion, Discovery

08:12Wrestling.

08:13We'll end off today's WrestleTalk News with the latest on the ongoing lawsuit filed

08:17by Janelle Grant against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis and WWE. Grant filed the lawsuit

08:21earlier this year which accuses McMahon of sexual misconduct and trafficking. The lawsuit

08:26was paused by Judge Jeffrey A. Mayer per a request from the Department of Justice, who

08:30are conducting a federal investigation into Vince McMahon. The case will not be resumed

08:34until around this October. Last month, Grant filed a petition to obtain the medical records

08:38related to her treatment by Dr. Karlyn Kolker from Peak Wellness, which she alleges were

08:44by Vince McMahon. Vince's lawyers filed this petition and violated the pause on the

08:48case, arguing that it was a one-sided discovery for her own benefit. McMahon's lawyers argue

08:53that Grant should be prevented from gaining the medical records and she should be subject

08:57to contempt and financial sanctions. However the argument from Grant's lawyers was that

09:01this petition was filed in a state court and Dr. Kolker nor Peak Wellness are named in

09:07the lawsuit, and Judge Mayer has agreed with Grant's lawyers. The court does not interpret

09:11its entry of the state order to apply to state court proceedings that are outside the

09:15scope of discovery prescribed by the federal rules of civil procedure governing the conduct

09:19of discovery in federal court litigation. The court denies Defendant McMahon's motion

09:24to enforce the court's state order for failure to show that there has been a violation of

09:29the court's state order. It is so ordered.

09:32Now to lighten the mood, why not check out the latest episode of Worst Match Ever over

09:36on partsFUNknown where we take in the delight of Ken The Box vs. Mecha Mummy. Wrestling

09:41is dumb and I love it.
