00:00A top WWE starter AEW, major WWE AEW shots, the Bloodline's tag status revealed and,

00:09of course, we'll hear from our special American Correspondent MJF.

00:13I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:21Get exclusive videos over on our Patreon.

00:23Happy All In Week, everyone!

00:26May your All In Week be free of backstage dramas and prosperous in its debuting stars.

00:31One of the more anticipated matches on Sunday's AEW card is the Casino Gauntlet.

00:36Right now, we only know a single confirmed entrant, Orange Cassidy at No. 1.

00:41The rest of the match is speculated to see surprises, returns and cameos.

00:46Come on Grado, come on Grado, come on Grado!

00:48Fightful Select is reporting that Jey White is now healthy and there are plans for him

00:52to return to AEW TV soon, so he could be a surprise return.

00:56White has been off TV for just over a month.

00:58There's also rumours that former WWE star Ricochet will debut for the promotion, but

01:03there might be an even bigger WWE name in the works.

01:07Bobby Lashley has now been moved to the alumni section of the WWE website, and now Fightful

01:12Select has reported his contract has officially expired, although their WWE sources say that

01:17the door is open for eventual appearances down the line.

01:20Which is a big shift from the YOU'RE DEAD TO ME DAYS of Vince McMahon.

01:24Those close to Lashley apparently say he intends to keep wrestling, but there has been interest

01:28from top promotions in the United States and around the world.

01:32Which you'd assume is AEW, as they're the only other North American company who

01:36could afford him.

01:37This could extend out to AEW's partner promotions New Japan and Mexico's CMLL, as Fightful

01:42also note there has been international wrestling interest in him too.

01:47They add there is also some interest from the combat sports world.

01:50Lashley last competed in MMA in 2016, where he won at Bellator 162.

01:55That was 8 years ago, though, and he's now 48 years old.

01:59But it might not just be Lashley who could be coming to AEW.

02:02His former Hurt Business Manager MVP has also just become a free agent, and he might have

02:07got right to work, like any other wrestler who's just left WWE, at the United States

02:13Patents and Trademark Office.

02:15Last week, a company by the name of Totally Harmless Concept LLC filed for the trademark

02:20The Hurt Syndicate.

02:21Not only is this interesting, because The Hurt Syndicate sounds a lot like The Hurt

02:26Business, the Totally Harmless Concept company that filed for it had previously filed trademarks

02:31for MVP and Ghetto Strong Style back in September 2013, while MVP was working in New Japan.

02:39Lashley and MVP could be joining AEW at a really good time, as PWInsider is reporting

02:44the mood among some in the locker room is really good following last week's All In

02:48Texas press conference.

02:50After this Sunday's All In in London, next year's one will take place in Arlington,

02:54Texas' Globe Life Stadium.

02:56After the announcement last week, several AEW stars told PWInsider they were really

03:00impressed and blown away by the level of attention they received.

03:04One source stated they felt this was easily the best press conference the company had

03:09ever produced.

03:10Which is probably a good point to check in.

03:13With AEW star, and our special American Correspondent, MJF.

03:43On this day in 1274, Edward I was coronated as the King of England.

03:55What's the American take on that?

04:13WWE's Bash in Berlin PLE in Berlin will take place just one week after AEW's All

04:35In in London.

04:37It's speculated WWE booked a European show so close to AEW's in an effort to undermine

04:42their ticket sales.

04:43Of which the company has a long and storied history of doing to both AEW and any other

04:48rival wrestling promotion.

04:50Even though Vince is gone from WWE, the wrestling war mentality definitely still lives on, with

04:55Randy Orton and potentially CM Punk scheduled to appear on NXT when it goes head to head

04:59with Dynamite on Tuesday 8th October.

05:02And now WWE have taken another shot.

05:05AEW announced back in April that their World's End pay-per-view will take place on Saturday

05:1028th December from the Edition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida.

05:15Last Friday's episode of SmackDown took place in Orlando too, in the Kia Center, where

05:19WWE took the opportunity to announce they'll be coming back to the same building for a

05:24house show on the same 28th December date, in the venue that is just 16 miles down the

05:30road a 20 minute drive from where World's End is taking place.

05:35That SmackDown episode drew nearly 14,000 fans.

05:39Last year's World's End only drew 10,000.

05:42AEW haven't put tickets on sale yet, but they already moved all out back a week from

05:46its announced date, potentially so it didn't clash with Bash in Berlin.

05:49That isn't the only front WWE is screwing with AEW, though.

05:53During an appearance on the Dan LaBattage show, AEW CEO Tony Khan said he believes that

05:59WWE is still engaging in contract tampering with AEW wrestlers.

06:04This comes at a time when multiple wrestlers under AEW contracts are heavily reported to

06:09be going to WWE imminently, like Ricky Starks and the Lucha Bros.

06:14The Lucha Bros were allegedly even originally booked to win the trio's titles with PAC

06:18at this Sunday's All In.

06:20And then there's also the increasingly tense battlefield of Mexico.

06:25When Vince McMahon was removed from power in WWE, Paul Levesque was able to start competing

06:30with AEW on their own grounds.

06:32WWE's storylines became more long-term, its promos greatly improved, and their in-ring

06:37wrestling was given more focus.

06:40But one of the most fascinating consequences, after decades of being a relatively closed

06:44shop, was Levesque and Nick Khan's willingness to work with other wrestling promotions.

06:50It meant that one of AEW's previously unique selling points, that it was the company that

06:55played well with others, having working relationships with Impact, AAA, CMLL, Stardom and New Japan,

07:02was no longer special.

07:04And WWE were able to take advantage of some of those partners who felt undervalued.

07:08TNA has been enjoying collaborating with NXT for months.

07:12WWE reportedly encouraged Rossi Aguero to break away from Stardom and form the new rival

07:16promotion Marigold.

07:18And now, yet another step has been taken in WWE's relationship with AAA.

07:23AAA used to be very, very close to AEW, frequently exchanging talent and having their championships

07:30defended on AEW TV.

07:32But AAA's Booker Conan has become publicly critical of Khan and AEW, and last December,

07:38he booked Dragon Lee to pin FTR for the AAA tag titles, to then reveal Lee had signed

07:44with WWE.

07:45For the first time ever, a WWE-contracted talent had technically beaten two AEW guys.

07:53Additionally, CMLL and AAA have a decades-long blood rivalry themselves, and Khan would ultimately

07:59have to pick which one he would work with, as they reportedly won't let their affiliated

08:03talent work with each other on shows.

08:05AAA's biggest event of the year, TripleMania, took place last night, which did see AEW's

08:11Team TNA win the tag titles, but the fingerprints of WWE were far more present.

08:16Firstly, Matt Riddle won the Cruiserweight title in a three-way against Commander and

08:20Laredo Kid, even though he's way bigger than all the other Cruiserweights.

08:24The Wrestling Observer writes, this was basically getting the belt off Commander because he's

08:29with AEW.

08:30Then Alberto Del Rio beat Nick Nemeth for the AAA Mega Championship, with both Conan

08:35and JBL turning heel with him.

08:38Conan was even wearing a WWE Judgment Day t-shirt.

08:41JBL is still signed with WWE as an ambassador.

08:46And finally, Rey Mysterio sent a special thank you video message to his former rival Psychosis

08:51ahead of his match.

08:52The day before saw AEW Collision take place, where the acclaimed and FTR wrestled to a

08:5730 minute draw, meaning they will both face the Young Bucks for the tag team titles at

09:01All In.

09:02And a four-way London Ladder match was announced for the trio's titles, with the Patriarchy

09:06defending against the Bang Bang Gang, the House of Black and the team yet to qualify.

09:11Also on the episode, Jack Perry unveiled a new beaten up design for the TNT title, and

09:15Dustin Rode and Sammy Guevara won the ROH Tag Team Championships from the Undisputed

09:20Kingdom.

09:21Meaning Dustin now holds both the ROH Tag and Trios titles.

09:24There's too many belts in this company.

09:26But arguably the most interesting stuff happened off-air.

09:30Darby Allin has revealed in an interview that Sting has been backstage for some of the Collision

09:34shows at Arlington's eSports Stadium over the last month, because he lives nearby.

09:39But then Sting posted in relation to next summer's All In in Texas, hmm, just down

09:44the road.

09:45I'll be watching from… somewhere.

09:48Sting back to WWE confirmed.

09:51Darby also mentioned that he's been training Sting's son.

09:52And that isn't the only multi-generational stuff happening in AEW, because in the dark

09:57match before Collision, Wayne and Wyatt Rhodes, Cody and Dustin's nephews, made their AEW

10:03debut as the new Texas Outlaws, where they beat Aaron Solo and John Cruz.

10:08The Rhodes family are going to have to get a lot more busy if they want to make their

10:11own bloodline level faction, though, as the Anoais have so many members, they're allowed

10:15to have three people be the tag team champions.

10:18Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga beat DIY to win the WWE tag team titles at the start of this

10:23month.

10:24But following Fatu's worked injury, Tonga Loa was shown holding the belt.

10:28On Fatu's return on Friday's SmackDown, though, where he wiped out Roman Reigns, he

10:32was holding the belt with Tama Tonga again.

10:34But at the weekend's live events in Florida, it was Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa who defended

10:40the belts against DIY, confirming that the Bloodline's reign will be under Freebird

10:45rules, where any two members of the faction can defend them.

10:48And finally, a huge congratulations to Zack Sabre Jr for winning the G1 Climax tournament,

10:54beating Yota Tsuji in the final, making him the first British wrestler ever to hold the

10:59trophy.

11:00Interestingly, Zack cut a promo after his win, saying he doesn't want to wait for

11:04WrestleKingdom, where the G1 winner historically gets their title shot.

11:08He wants his world title match on the Sumo Hall show on the 14th October, so he can defend

11:13the belt at the Royal Quest show in London on the 20th.

11:16Now go watch Luke and I predict every WWE wrestler at Bash in Berlin in three words

11:21or less slash fewer, here's a clip.
