00:00A WWE star injured during a match, Ronda Rousey shoot on Vince and the Mania 35 botch, Mercedes

00:06Monet wanted a WWE return and more. I'm Luke Owen and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:17But before we get into the big wrestling news of the day, we've got major news to look

00:21at because Bryan Danielson has given his thoughts on the Greg's Vegan Sausage Roll.

00:26Following Mercedes Monet showing a picture of a frankly sad looking English breakfast

00:30she got at a Wetherspoons, Bryan Danielson featured on Sportbible's Snack Wars where

00:34he tried the Greg's Vegan Sausage Roll and compared it to Burger King's Plant Based

00:38Whopper. And the results are damning for Americans. It's more just like a pastry, which is nice.

00:43I much prefer the sausage roll to Plant Based Burger King Whopper. This feels unhealthy,

00:48at least in a bready way. The points go to the UK.

00:51That's my goat right there, he should never retire. Although he did say that he didn't

00:56like Percy Pig, so maybe I want him to lose it all in. Hold on, did Mercedes Monet order

01:01a small breakfast at Wetherspoons? Who orders the small breakfast at Wetherspoons? Hang

01:06on, where's the sausage? Where's the beans? Mercedes didn't just order a small breakfast

01:11to make us look bad, she's hiding key elements to make us look worse. I will file an official

01:16complaint with All Elite Wrestling and demand a public apology. Also, there's only three

01:20times one should visit a Wetherspoons for breakfast, at an airport, the final morning

01:24of a stag do, and the Monday morning after Reading Festival.

01:26On to much less important news now, because what could be more important than sausage

01:30roll chat? And last night's NXT saw a double taping as much of the crew is heading to Germany

01:35for Bash in Berlin. This means that next week's episode of NXT was taped last night. We won't

01:40go over the spoilers here, but they are linked to in the video description if you want to

01:43see them. But there was an injury during one of the matches.

01:46Fallon Henley teamed with JCJ, now known as Fatal Influence, to take on Jakara Jackson

01:51and Lash Legend, and during the match, Henley reportedly broke her nose and was bleeding

01:56badly. Corey Brannan of Fightful Select reports, Fallon Henley suffered a possible broken nose

02:01during her match, but finished the match despite the injury.

02:04There was also some concern that Carmen Petrovic was also injured as she was removed from the

02:09gauntlet match on last night's NXT, but Brannan reports her removal from the gauntlet

02:13was said to be storyline when we asked.

02:15And speaking of Twitter reactions, there appears to have been some speculation online that

02:19Ricky Starks is WWE bound and is no longer with AEW. Works Wrestling posted on their

02:25Twitter account a gif of Ricky Starks as if to indicate there was some news coming, and

02:29TechTwon noted on his Twitch channel that he had heard that Starks was a free agent

02:34and was signed with WWE.

02:37Starks is still listed on the AEW roster page, and Corey Brannan notes via Fightful Select,

02:42NXT sources say that there is significant interest in bringing Starks into the brand,

02:47but crucially note, once he's available. So that would suggest that Starks is still

02:53with AEW for the time being.

02:55And hilariously, TechTwon has addressed his comments on Twitter and said, bro I just heard

03:00Ricky Starks rumour from a WrestleTalk video. I don't know s***. For the record, we've

03:06never said that Starks was a free agent or that he had signed with WWE, but hi TechTwon

03:12thanks for watching.

03:13Now speaking of AEW, it's time to head over to our American Correspondent Maxwell Jacob

03:17Friedman, and I'll be honest folks, I've seen how he speaks to Oli and I know I was

03:23the one who brought him in, but I'm a bit nervous about this.

03:43So, on this day in 1936, the BBC debuted from Alexandra Palace. What did you think

04:10of that?

04:41Well it was Becky Lynch's Randy Orton take on Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship,

04:44which is playing off their botched finish to their King of the Ring Tournament final

04:48where Orton's shoulders were not down on the mat for the three counts. But once upon

04:52a time, under an old regime, it's always possible that would have just been ignored.

04:57Take for example the finish of WrestleMania 35, where Becky Lynch won the Raw and Smackdown

05:02Women's Championships in the main event against Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey.

05:06However in the finish, Rousey's shoulders were quite clearly up, and it's since been

05:10edited in recap packages shown on WWE TV and has even been edited on the WWE Network

05:15to hide the botch. And speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Rousey herself has now opened up

05:19about the finish, explaining what happened. She said,

05:22I didn't think my shoulders were flat to the ground, so I was trying to scoot to get

05:26my shoulders flat. Because it was too f***ing loud, I couldn't hear anything. It wasn't

05:30intentional. I didn't think my shoulders were flat, so I was trying to flatten out.

05:35But I think that we could have used it and kept it going, but they never let us.

05:40Interestingly when comparing the botched finish to her very smooth WrestleMania 34 debut the

05:45year prior, Rousey explains that was because the Mania 35 match was thrown together while

05:50the other was planned out in advance. This meant her debut match had more time to rehearse

05:55and practice, while the Mania 35 match was not afforded that opportunity. She said,

06:00Why did we put a whole year into promoting and building this match, and then it's just

06:04thrown together at the last second? We were still figuring it out while we were at the

06:08venue, and that is what a lack of practice and rehearsal does.

06:12As to why Ronda and Becky didn't have the singles match the fans actually wanted, she

06:15told Chris Van Fleet, I don't know, Vince McMahon is an 80 year old a-hole. She added,

06:20Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, Bruce Prichard, they can all suck a D.

06:25Speaking of WrestleMania, and Mercedes Monet was part of another WrestleMania main event

06:28that also featured women, and that was a very smooth segue. I won't hear a bad word said

06:32about it in the comments. But yeah, Mercedes Monet.

06:37With all in this weekend, it's amazing to look back at last year's show where Monet

06:41was shown in the crowd. At that point, Monet was not signed with All Elite Wrestling, and

06:46was out with an injury she suffered during her New Japan Strong Women's Championship

06:49match against Willow Nightingale. And Monet has now revealed in her newsletter that being

06:54part of that All In show was when she decided she wanted to sign with AEW, as prior to that,

07:00she was considering a return to WWE. Before All In, Monet attended an LA Rams game at

07:06the SoFi Stadium, which was set to be the home of WrestleMania 39. She writes, I kept

07:10thinking this is where WrestleMania is going to be. It's an enormous, beautiful stadium

07:14in the tinsel town, the city of angels. How could Snoop's first cousin and a member

07:18of the Mandalorian cast not be here? Thus, at the end of the game, I leaned over to Kev

07:23and I said, I need to be here for Mania. And at that time, that's truly how I felt and

07:28my plan was. Mercedes Monet instead signed with AEW earlier this year, but that is not

07:33the only big All Elite Wrestling contract that has been worked on. Because it's time to talk

07:38about TV contracts. WWE tied up all of their TV deals in late 2023 and earlier this year,

07:44with Smackdown moving to USA Network, NXT moving to The CW and Raw moving to Netflix,

07:49all of which are seeing a huge increase in rights fees. AEW is yet to finalise their deal for a new

07:55TV contract, with a lot of talk and speculation on the future of All Elite Wrestling and Warner

08:00Brothers Discovery. Lots of analysts have reported that should they get a big increase in their WBD

08:05deal, AEW will be a very profitable company. The exclusivity window between AEW and WBD has now

08:14expired, according to a previous report from Fightful Select, and it was reported that All

08:18Elite Wrestling had received an offer from Warner that they wanted to negotiate further on. AEW's

08:24Tony Khan met with WBD's David Zaslav in Paris during the Olympics, and a new report from

08:29Fightful Select has some positive news about AEW's TV deal. Sean Ross Sapp spoke to his

08:34sources at WBD and reports another offer for a long-term television deal was made recently to

08:39All Elite Wrestling from WBD that they're very confident in. SRS reports this offer came following

08:45the meeting in Paris and is said to be extensive. When pushed for what that might mean, he was told,

08:51literally extensive. The offer is now with AEW and the ball is in their courts. SRS writes that

08:56both AEW and WBD are confident that the deal will be agreed upon, but there's no news on when an

09:02announcement will be made. There's also not a lot of details on actual figures of the deal. SRS was

09:07told that the last deal that WBD proposed, the one that AEW wanted to negotiate further on,

09:11was for at least double what their 2019 deal was. Which would indicate that this new deal offer

09:17is for more than double what they signed in 2019. Fightful Select also report that all

09:22combinations of AEW programming is being considered in this WBD deal, which would

09:27include Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, any reality TV show crossovers, the Ring of Honor library and,

09:32of course, PPVs. Max has been a big part of these discussions reportedly. SRS's sources

09:39also told him that WBD believe the relationship with them and All Elite Wrestling will continue

09:43for years to come. And I'm sure there are some podcasters who will have some thoughts about this.

09:48Speaking of AEW and contracts, it was reported last week by Fightful Select that All Elite

09:52Wrestling had interest in signing the current British Heavyweight Champion Michael Oku and

09:56his partner Amira. Oku is reportedly set to be part of tonight's Dynamite in Cardiff and is also

10:01rumoured to be part of All In's Casino Gauntlet this Sunday. He is defending the British World

10:06Championship on Saturday against Luke Jacobs and his Riot Cabaret Championship on Friday in a

10:11three-way with Nico Angelo and Mark Andrews. At RevPro's Summer Sizzler at York Hall last week,

10:16following his match with MJF, Oku and Amira had an emotional standing ovation at the entrance ramp.

10:21I turned to Oli and SP3 and said, I think he's going to AEW. That felt like a goodbye to York

10:27Hall cry. And speaking with Grapple, Oku was asked about the reports of him being AEW bound,

10:33and this is what he had to say. At the moment, it's something that I'm open to and nothing

10:39that is confirmed. Of course, that'd be my answer if I was confirmed because everybody lies in

10:44wrestling anyway. But that is, I'm putting it out there. That is what I'm saying. So that I've said

10:50it. You know, that sounds like someone is working us right there and that's all for me. But have you

10:54checked out our playthrough of the definitive wrestling RPG over on Chaotic Neutral? It is

10:59certainly one for fans of our old CBW days and features me doing lots of flawless accents. Go

11:05and watch it right now. Chad Baseball. Howie, my name is Chad Baseball. Now I've heard some nasty

11:14rumours about me that I'm not actually American and I want to set the record straight. I was not

11:21a British spy sent there to infiltrate the Americans and become one of them and then got

11:26sent back and now just believe I'm an American. I'm actually American. I was an American as an

11:33American pie. Apple kind, that is. I am as American as baseball and other types of American

11:41things. My American people, I am going to win the WTF championships and I am going to do it

11:49for America. Incredible. It's a great promo cutting on the not American crowd. Yeah, the not American crowd.
