00:00Samantha Irvin shoots on leaving WWE, Bloodline spoilers, WWE reject TNA and NXT Halloween

00:09Havoc highlights and more. I'm Luke Owen and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:20I can always tell something big has happened in the world of wrestling when I wake up and

00:23I have a bunch of Instagram DMs from you fine folk letting me know that something big has

00:28happened in the world of wrestling. But on Sunday morning my DMs weren't filled with

00:36the news that The Hardys had won the TNA Tag Titles or that Joe Hendry again failed to

00:41capture the TNA Championship or even that JBL showed up at Bound for Glory and instead

00:46my inbox was flooded with the trailer for a new documentary about the greatest professional

00:52wrestlers who ever lace up a pair of boots and one third of the greatest WrestleMania

00:56match of all time, Raven. The link for the trailer can be found in the video description

01:01of this episode and I suggest you all go and watch it because it's got a great line-up

01:06of interviewees. Can anyone else hear that? No, it can't be. No, it's gone now. Maybe

01:21it's just me. Odd. Anyway, maybe these interviewees will do some shooting on their wrestling

01:26careers. And speaking of shooting, last Monday the wrestling world was shocked upon learning

01:31the news that Samantha Ervin, the beloved WWE ring announcer, arguably the best since

01:37The Fink, was stepping away from WWE. Ervin herself revealed that this was something that

01:43had been in the works for a few months, and it was reported that she and WWE could not

01:47come to terms with her wanting to do work outside of WWE like recording music. She really

01:53could have just done all the wrestlers themes, it's not like anyone likes Def Rebel. She

01:57also shut down the idea that she'd be going to All Elite Wrestling as her IRL husband

02:01Ricochet decided not to re-sign with WWE and signed with AEW in the summer. For all intents

02:06and purposes, Samantha Ervin was stepping away from wrestling altogether. Which means

02:11she's now free to simply speak her mind and call out weird Twitter trolls for being

02:16weird Twitter trolls. To sum up all of the following she tweeted,

02:19I'm so glad I don't have a boss anymore so I can say this, shut the f*** up.

02:24It all began when she replied to a comment on Instagram revealing among the reasons she

02:27left WWE was because she actually didn't like ring announcing. She said, I'm serious.

02:34Announcing was only supposed to be my way in. I wanted to manage, maybe even become

02:38general manager one day. But WWE saw no other future for me besides announcer. I loved watching

02:45the action, but I didn't like being an announcer. This, of course, inevitably led

02:50to some of the more tribalistic fans to decree that Ervin hated working for WWE and was ungrateful

02:56for her time there. Ervin responded by saying that she did love WWE and had a great time

03:01working there, but argued that she could have done more than just ring announcing which

03:05was not her passion. She added in one reply, The fact that people are so upset that I don't

03:10want to announce shows me I make the right decision because it was only a role I did,

03:16not who I am. Interestingly she revealed that she was doing interviews in NXT but was only

03:22called up to be the ring announcer for Smackdown because they fired Greg Hamilton. From there

03:27she says that WWE saw no other role for her other than being a ring announcer. In one

03:32series of replies she reveals that she had hoped the Logan Paul angle leading to Ricochet

03:36SummerSlam match would have led to more opportunities. She wrote, I seriously was hoping it was a

03:42test. That's why I turned the Viola Davis on as soon as the camera was on me crying

03:47emoji. I've always respected kayfabe this entire time in hopes of moving into the story,

03:52but it wasn't meant to be and that is okay. She also added, I would have loved to have

03:57managed Ricochet of course, but I also wouldn't have minded learning commentary first. I was

04:03also interested in writing and I wanted to age in the company, become a trusted figure

04:08and eventually do character work. While some people have pointed to Ricochet leaving as

04:13her reason for leaving, Irvin denies this to be the case. However, she did highlight

04:18in another Instagram comment, my husband is a millionaire so yes, I don't have to do

04:22a job I don't like anymore. And while she was very praising her time in WWE, she did

04:27take a few digs in saying that the company never saw anything in her husband, which is

04:32one of the reasons he left. She posted in a reply, when he was at WWE all he ever heard

04:38was that he was a jobber or he was in catering. Now he's actually paid well to put on matches

04:43he likes. He is doing great and I'm really proud of him. Also revealing that she was

04:47at the Collision Show over the weekend. Gee I hope that catering thing's not about us

04:51putting him in catering all the time on three counts. Irvin's tweets and replies were

04:54never directed at WWE or anyone within WWE and more the fans who treated her and her

05:01husband poorly online. She replied to someone saying F her for leaving with F everyone who

05:06harassed my husband and said I was leaving for AEW actually. She reiterated she would

05:11not be going to All Elite Wrestling. In a very sweet moment, Ibo of WrestlePura suggested

05:16that Irvin get all of these FUs out of her system then go on a blocking spree to which

05:20Irvin replied, I've been holding them in for so long. If this is my only heel turn

05:25I'll get, I gotta go hard. What do you make of Irvin's comments? Do you think that WWE

05:30has stumbled a potential opportunity to use her in more roles than just being a ring announcer?

05:35Let me know in the comments below.

05:37It means Irvin won't be around to see the next chapter of the Bloodline story, which

05:41I think is now in the bottom of the ninth with bases loaded and 40 yards from the end

05:45zone. Sports! I saw one XFL game back in 2001, I know what I'm talking about.

05:51Last Friday saw WWE do a double taping of Smackdown with a second episode to air this

05:55coming Friday as the company will be flying over to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel. So if

05:59you want to avoid the spoilers for this week's Smackdown I would suggest skipping ahead to

06:03our next news item, there's timestamps in the video description or a timecode on screen

06:08right here.

06:09The show is reportedly built around the original Bloodline getting back together, as they will

06:13be having a trios match at Crown Jewel against three members of Solo's Bloodline faction.

06:19In an in-ring segment, Jey says the family can only get back together and work together

06:24if Roman acknowledges him as an equal and not just his right hand man. Roman then

06:29says yeet and the three of them put their wands in the air.

06:33Worked Wrestling are also reporting that, as many expected, Sami Zayn will be reuniting

06:38with the OG Bloodline for a match at Survivor Series.

06:41Welcome back to those who skipped over that story, I can't believe that Kenny Omega

06:44is going to team with Roman Reigns either. But before we get into more of today's wrestling

06:48news, here's a word from Turbo Jack about how you can- oh man I can't get this wrong.

06:57Just watch the video, just watch the Patreon shoutouts.

07:00I'm Aidy's wrestler Turbo Jack, from a time where match stipulations meant something.

07:06Like All-American Hero, Turbo Jack beating a foreigner. Not these days where you see

07:10em punk character work bullshit. I'm talking classic matches, like Eric Young vs. Tracy

07:16Brooks in a bikini contest from 2006 TNA. Join Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk

07:22to watch Luke and Oli review that historic match. Like these fine folk right here can.

07:27He can last Shawn Furlonger than you in the ring.

07:30Starbucks, Stephen Caster, The Last Main Event, Malcolm, Shield Maiden, The Zornise, The British

07:37Bulldog, Philip Boy J Smith Jr, The Roller Coaster, Robert Acosta and Yo Adrian.

07:45Rocky, haven't seen the movie. Go to Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk right now to get

07:50your own shoutout and loads of bonus videos.

07:53One of the odder, didn't have that on my 2024 bingo card, has been the rather fruitful

07:58relationship between WWE and TNA, which has seen an increase in interest for total non-stop

08:03action leading to great ticket sales for their recent Bound For Glory PPV. However, it might

08:08not all be flowers and roses.

08:11During this year's Bound For Glory, it was announced that Rhyno and the late Bob Ryder

08:14would be going into the TNA Hall of Fame. Rhyno is a former NWA World Champion in TNA

08:20and Ryder was a day one guy in the company until his untimely passing in 2020. He was

08:25called the heart and soul of the promotion. But they were not the only names discussed,

08:30as Fightful Selecta reported that TNA were also interested in inducting Monty Brown and

08:34AJ Styles into their Hall of Fame, the latter of which is currently under contract with

08:39WWE. Styles is perhaps best known for his time in TNA as one of the innovators of the

08:44company as well as one of its most recognised faces. However, according to Fightful Select,

08:49the possibility of AJ Styles was broached with WWE, who passed on the opportunity.

08:54TNA don't give Sean Ross Sapp a reason as to why, but figure it's because Styles is

08:59currently out with an injury. I'm not sure how that would stop someone from getting inducted

09:04into a Hall of Fame, but that's just me. Fightful Select also add that there were hopes

09:08that Styles would be open to wrestling in TNA as well, but we're not sure if that

09:12was ever discussed. Speaking of TNA, and there's reports coming out from their recent TV tapings

09:17that El Hijo Del Vikingo suffered an injury after doing a corkscrew to the outside on

09:22Trent Seven. Those there reported that the referee held up the dreaded X, and video footage

09:26from fans was put online of Vikingo being stretched out of the building. He had just

09:30returned from a torn meniscus and ruptured ligament that had kept him on the shelf for

09:35seven months. And he is sadly not alone from the tapings, as Chris Bay was also stretched

09:39out of the building and put in a neck brace following a clash of headspot with the Hardys

09:43while he was teaming with Ace Austin. Wishing them both a speedy recovery.

09:48Lastly for today, and let's take a quick look at the highlights from last night's

09:51rather good NXT Halloween Havoc. The show saw Tony DeAngelo retain his North American

09:55Championship against Obafemi due to a lot of interference from the family, and Ridge

10:00Holland beat Andre Chase in an ambulance match. Junior and Stephanie Vakar teamed together

10:04to beat Cora Jade and NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez, and after the match they were

10:08all watched over by The Wall Brother, I mean Zarya, the former Delta, who made her debut

10:13on last week's NXT. She also made her presence known after Fallon Henley won the Women's

10:17North American Championship from Kalani Jordan, who had previously beaten Jasmine Nix and

10:22Jaycee Jane as part of a gauntlet. Also on the show, Willie Regal made an appearance

10:25to announce he'll be in the corner of Lexus King against his son Charlie Dempsey. He is

10:30so turning on King to side with Dempsey.

10:33But it was the show's main event that seemed to cause the most ire online. Trick Williams

10:38retained his NXT Championship against Ethan Page in a Devil's Playground match, so far

10:42so fine, and after it was over was attacked by Ridge Holland. Page and Holland then worked

10:46together to beat up Trick, before Bully Ray, hot off his worst match of the year contender

10:52at Maple Leaf Pro against the former Jinder Mahal, made the save for Trick Williams. The

10:57angle was mocked heavily on social media, with Steve here of Going In Raw asking out

11:02loud, what in the TNA is happening? Of course this is being done as NXT are set to run

11:08the ECW Arena for their head-to-head episode against AEW Dynamite, with the speculation

11:13being that episode will be headlined by Page and Holland vs. Trick and Bubba Ray Dudley

11:17in a tag match. Earlier in the night, Ava announced that ECW legend Dawn Marie would

11:22be a special guest referee in a match between Lola Vice and Jada Parker on that same show.

11:27Now go and watch our latest episode of Tables, Lists and Shares where our heroes chart the

11:30ten best WWE champions of all time, again, and I'm sorry I kept getting that Patreon

11:36plug wrong.
