00:00WWE steal an AEW deal. No plans for AJ Styles. My review of Monday Night Raw and more. I'm

00:08Luke Owen and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:15We kick off today's WrestleTalk News with Logan Paul and his ongoing feud with Kevin

00:19Nash. While the two have had their online back and forths, it's now time for the real

00:23people with real thoughts to get involved. Former wrestling stars who now have podcasts.

00:29Eric Bischoff has waded into the discussion, and former WWE Bump host Matt Camp has now

00:33given his thoughts on the matter. Revealing that maybe Logan has some kind of reputation.

00:38I've heard good, I've heard bad. I heard from a long time veteran who couldn't stand

00:44working with Logan Paul. Didn't like how he treated people. Camp adds that he himself

00:49never saw this when he dealt with Logan Paul, but feels that some wrestlers are happy to

00:53work with Paul as it puts a spotlight on them they wouldn't have without him, while others

00:57feel they have to carry Logan Paul to good matches. But even on that, Matt Camp believes

01:02that WWE have asked Logan Paul to not do more in the ring than he currently does.

01:07As for other backstage heat in WWE like the various lawsuits Logan Paul is involved in,

01:12Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select noted, "...we've not been given any comment any time we've

01:16ever asked about this. They don't comment on lawsuits they're involved in, so it's

01:20not a surprise to see them pass on this as well."

01:22Speaking of Fightful Select, an SRS was also asked by a Patreon backer why AJ Styles hasn't

01:27been featured prominently on TV since his loss to Cody Rhodes at Clash of the Castle

01:31back in June, as some were speculating that maybe he's injured. Ross Sapp has revealed

01:36however that AJ Styles is fit and healthy, he just isn't being used on WWE TV. SRS

01:43notes that Styles worked the European tour in matches against Rhodes and also did some

01:47dates in Japan. I actually made a joke in yesterday's WrestleTalk News about the fan

01:51reaction to Megan Thee Stallion's theme being used for Smackdown now that it's moved

01:54back to USA Network, as there was some fan backlash online for WWE using a hip-hop song

02:00for a wrestling theme. Come on now, have we all forgotten the greatness that is WWF aggression?

02:06Well it turns out, this song might only be being used because AEW were planning on working

02:13with Megan Thee Stallion. According to PWInsider, Megan and AEW's Mercedes Monet met back

02:18in February at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards and began conversations about working together.

02:24Monet talked about this publicly while promoting All In, and even hinted that one of the plans

02:28was Megan Thee Stallion getting in an AEW ring for a match, and it was only after Monet

02:33went public and the two agreed to do something together that WWE made a deal with the artist

02:40about using her song Never Play for Smackdown. PWInsider write this caught the Monet circle

02:45by surprise. They add whether this means the end of any potential Monet-Stallion alliance

02:50remains to be seen, but obviously the WWE deal didn't help.

02:55Now Pete Quinnell may have set sail from these fair WrestleTalk shores, but he's still

02:59a part of the Monday Night War which is airing exclusively over on Patreon. The next episode

03:04is now live at Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk and you can watch a clip of it

03:08right now.

03:30And now it's time for my review of Monday Night Raw, aka the, you can't keep me away

03:34from this show for too long, JK I'm only doing this because Oli's on holiday edition

03:37of Monday Night Raw, in about 5 minutes.

03:40The show opened with CM Punk coming up for a promo to put over his Hell in a Cell match

03:44against Drew McIntyre. He said he's got more matches in him than you'd think, and

03:47while he didn't come back to WWE to make friends, he did not expect to make a mortal

03:52enemy. This was never going to be over when he just touched some corners, but it also

03:56wasn't over when Drew put him in a hospital. But while he has more matches in him, he doesn't

04:02have a Hell in a Cell match in him. His sister asked him not to do this, his wife has asked

04:08him not to do this, she doesn't watch The Product Punk, we all know that. Even his dog

04:12has asked him not to do this. That last one was a joke because he said the angel inside

04:16him asked him not to do this. But the devil inside, the monster inside, he wants Punk

04:22to do this. Punk cannot promise that he will kill Drew, but he can promise that he will

04:26make him bleed. He is prepared for the end of CM Punk. Is Drew prepared for the end of

04:32Drew McIntyre?

04:33Right, so this was awesome for a number of reasons. Number one, Punk's promo was so

04:37good and delivered so well, and that ties into reason number B, it did something that

04:41hasn't been done for almost 20 years. It got over the danger of the Hell in a Cell

04:46gimmick. For so long, Hell in a Cell has just been a stipulation a PPV was named after.

04:52It doesn't really mean anything, but this promo made Hell in a Cell feel like something.

04:59Something important, something dangerous, something that WWE only bring out when the

05:03occasion calls for it. A last resort. This was so damn good. Sheamus and Pete Dunne had

05:10a very good match, which Pete Dunne won after the referee and Sheamus got distracted by

05:13the Shillelagh, and Dunne hit Sheamus with a cricket bat. We got the first of many backstage

05:26segments involving the Terror Twins, Jey Uso and members of the Judgment Day, but there

05:30was no Judgment Day in this first one, but there was some New Day, as Xavier Woods asked

05:35Damien Priest, Jey and Rhea to not get involved in his tag title match. More on that in a

05:39bit. Miz chatted with Braun Strowman, who said to beat a monster you need a monster,

05:42and Miz is no monster, and Nattie Stratus beat Zoey Stark in a decent little match.

05:47They played off the finish of last week's match, and Nattie scored a roll-up win. Pure

05:50Fusion Collective, more like Can't Win Collective, am I right? Nailed it. No, but really they

05:55never win. Finn Balor approached Rhea Ripley backstage and told her that Rhea split up

05:59this family because she didn't care about this family, but then he get up get up dropped

06:04the bombshell when Dom was torn between Liv and Rhea, it was Balor who told Dom to choose

06:11Without him in his ear, perhaps Dom might have stuck around with Rhea Ripley. It was

06:16a big reveal and well placed in this promo, and could signal a potential that Dom and

06:21Rhea could reunite down the line. Jey Uso walked up to see if Rhea was okay like Kevin

06:25Owens did in that one video, and Balor said that Jey was out of Rhea's league. I mean,

06:30in all fairness we all are. He also said that Jey should perhaps focus on his pursuit of

06:34the Intercontinental Championship, which Rhea Ripley agreed with. So Jey came out for a

06:38promo with Braun Breaker, and Braun pointed out that Jey has been in WWE for 14 years

06:42and has never won a singles title, while Braun has been there for 6 months and is already

06:47the IC champ. Not only that, but he did it without his father and uncle, and Jey has

06:51only won titles because of his family. Jey got in a dig about Braun's NFL career. Football?

06:57Nobody understands football. You've got to know what a meatloaf is to understand football.

07:02And Jey speared Braun out of his boots to stand tall. In a battle of days, it was judgement

07:06taking on New for the tag titles which, because of the ad breaks, felt like Judgement Day

07:10got in zero offence as all of their heat came during the commercial break. It had a great

07:14finish though, where the LWO cut off the rest of Judgement Day interfering and Kofi took

07:18them all out with a dive, which distracted the referee, who then missed Xavier Woods

07:22getting the visual pin. By the time the referee sorted himself out, Balor hit the coup de

07:26grâce for the win. Woods was very upset with Kofi after the match, and shouted at him backstage

07:32because Kofi made a plan with the LWO to run off interference, but did not tell Woods

07:38again. Woods said that they never needed help before, and Kofi replied, well, we had E back

07:44then, now it's just us. And Woods focused on the just us bit of that, furthering his

07:50frustrations with his tag partner. I loved all of this. But not as much as I love Braun

07:55Strowman vs. Bronson Reed. Right, okay, so in order, they broke the top rope, Reed threw

08:00a fan at Braun, Braun cross-bodied Reed through the barricade and bodychecked him over some

08:03crates, Reed did a standing tsunami through a table backstage, and both men fell through

08:07a wall. This was awesome, 5 stars, 10 out of 10, no notes, I hope they never stop brawling.

08:13Sami came out for a promo to drive a wedge between Ludwig Kaiser and Gunther, stopped

08:16from a break up Imperium, but Kaiser laid Sami out to set up a match for next week,

08:20and Gunther denied Sami's shot at the title again. Sami laid out Kaiser with a Helluva

08:23Kick to set up that match for next week. Bianca Belair and Io Sky subbing in for Kairi Sane

08:27had a great match that made me say out loud, why isn't this the world title picture?

08:31Belair reversed the Moonsault into a KOD, but Sky reversed that into a small package

08:35for the win. A great match this was. Liv called Damian Priest a loser before his match with

08:40Dominik Mysterio, and the rest of Judgment Day threatened Ilja Dragunov backstage. There

08:44was also a video promo for American Made, who are hard to take seriously when they've

08:47never won anything. Apart from that one match of course, don't correct me in the comments.

08:50And the main event saw Damian Priest dominate Dominik Mysterio and overcome interference

08:54from the rest of Judgment Day for a very easy win. Rhea also brawled with Liv, but

08:58the numbers game did eventually get on top of Priest after the match and Bront Breaker

09:02stopped Jey Uso's help. Judgment Day stood tall to round off the show, which was a great

09:06episode of Monday Night Raw. Good wrestling, good angles, great promos, and good build

09:10for the PPV. Huge, huge thumbs up. Head on over to Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk
