00:00A TNA Champion Controversy and this time it's not PCO, Alexa Bliss and Wyatt 6 update, Tempest

00:07review of AEW Dynamite and more. I'm Luke Owen, no paper can stop me being the Jam That

00:13Champion and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:22Tessa Blanchard made her return to TNA late last year, a return that was pretty controversial.

00:27Blanchard was at one point the TNA World Champion, but was forced to relinquish the belt when

00:32she reportedly wouldn't film vignettes for the company during the pandemic and couldn't

00:37travel for tapings. But prior to that she had been accused of racism and bullying by

00:42several other wrestlers. One of those names was Chelsea Green, who again accused Blanchard

00:47of racism earlier this month in a now deleted tweet. Blanchard beat Jordan Grace to become

00:52the TNA Knockouts Champion at Genesis, which is all but confirmed to be Grace's last

00:56match for the company, more on that in a bit, but prior to Blanchard's TNA return

01:01she was doing regular work with CMLL. And now Sportskeeda's Chris Featherstone has

01:05tweeted, I was informed that Tessa Blanchard had many problems in CMLL and yelled at a

01:10few girls in the locker room which led to meetings with the whole women's roster and

01:15The Boss because of all the drama. However not all is as it seems, as LuchaBlog has responded

01:22to this report saying, what kind of sourcing is, I was informed. He followed this up with,

01:27I write for the most aware Lucha Libre people in the world and if I'm referencing The

01:32Boss of a promotion, I'm including that person's name. Not including the name might

01:37suggest you've not really figured out what you're talking about and you're just passing

01:41on DM gossip. Another CMLL insider tweeted during TNA Genesis, there is no history of

01:47racism on the part of Tessa Blanchard during her stay in Mexico. None.

01:51I mentioned Jordan Grace earlier, and PWInsider are reporting that WWE's Nick Khan told

01:56talent that she has been signed by the company at a town hall meeting yesterday, with PWInsider

02:01adding that Grace was 100% in this Saturday's Royal Rumble. Grace herself however has shot

02:06down this report saying that this weekend she is celebrating her mother's 50th birthday,

02:11with a screenshot of her plane ticket showing that she's flying into Texas while the Rumble

02:15is taking place in Indianapolis. The WWE and TNA partnership has fans very

02:20excited that there could be crossover between the companies on main roster PPVs like WrestleMania.

02:25However Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select writes, I wouldn't count on it at WrestleMania

02:29or even WWE main roster PLE shows for a while, if ever. He does however add the caveat, unless

02:36there are some Royal Rumble entrants. Joe Hendry and the Royal Rumble confirmed.

02:40One name that could be a surprise entrant this year though is Amos. As Fightful Select

02:44report his name has been discussed for the match itself, but we've not confirmed he

02:48would be in it. SRS notes that Amos' recent run in NOAH has impressed those in WWE. Both

02:53Fightful and PWInsider are reporting that at the very least Amos is being flown into

02:58Indianapolis by WWE. Fightful Select are also reporting that the

03:01reason Wyatt Six haven't been on TV since their loss to The Final Testament in December

03:07is not because of creative, but because one of the members of the group is currently injured.

03:12There was a report from PWInsider last week that said Alexa Bliss was set to return to

03:17WWE during the show in San Jose and be part of the Wyatt Six group, but that creative

03:22fell apart and Bliss' return is now on indefinite hold. Fightful Select did not confirm or deny

03:28this story, but added, it was also said that Alexa not being back yet hasn't necessarily

03:34affected long-term plans for the faction. Just before we head into Tempest's review

03:38of AEW Dynamite, I hope that you've all had the chance to either watch, or save to

03:42your Watch Later playlist, mine and Oli's massive 4 hour plus review of WrestleMania

03:4827. And if that wasn't enough, there is an exclusive 4 hour review of WWE Survivor

03:55Series 2011, which sees The Rock and John Cena team together to take on the awesome

03:59might of R-Truth and The Miz over at Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk. That is around

04:068 and a half hours worth of wrestling chat. We've also got a 4 hour review of Madam

04:11Webb over on Cutscene, and a 3 and a half hour review of Morbius over on that Patreon

04:16page. So if you like Oli and I chatting, well, there's a lot of it available for you right

04:21now. Now over to Tempest.

04:23Hello I'm Tempest, the one true king of Mario Party, and today, this is my review

04:28of AEW Dynamite in about 5 minutes.

04:30This week's episode of Dynamite kicked off with the Will Ospreay vs. Brian Cage match,

04:35but before the match could get underway, we were shown Kenny Omega getting taken out backstage.

04:40Somehow, Will Ospreay managed to perfectly balance on the barricade, only to go for a

04:44blockbuster, but get caught, walked around the ring, and suplexed on the floor. Genuinely,

04:50one of the most impressive sequences I've seen in 2025.

04:53Will got worked over for a long while, but after a super F5, Lance Archer caused a distraction,

04:59allowing Will to send Cage into Archer and hit the Styles Clash for the win. That's

05:03like his fifth finisher? He's got five finishers. That's very impressive.

05:10It would be a short celebration, however, as the Don Callis family beat him, and a worse

05:14for wear Kenny Omega down. Very good opening match, but we didn't really get any advancement

05:20in what last week was the highlight of the show, and the best thing going.

05:24Rene tried to get a word with Swerve Strickland, but Hangman Page barged in looking for Swerve,

05:30but wouldn't say why.

05:31On his way out, he bumped into MJF, and they had a tense stare down, and under his breath,

05:36Max said, oh, Hangman did nothing wrong, but if I so much as breathe funny. And this is

05:40a very interesting preview of the feud these two seem poised to have. Max is always at

05:46his best when he dives deep into real life, and using the reactions that he and Hangman

05:51have gotten over the last year is incredibly tantalizing. I need this feud expeditiously.

05:57Also, Max talks some shit about Jeff Jarrett and his upcoming match with Claudio Castagnoli

06:02by referencing Kevin Owens' old shoot interview where he said Claudio was half man, half horse.

06:07Powerhouse Hobbs says that when he gets cleared, he's going to show Big Bill that hell is

06:11just the beginning. Then, we had the next step on Jeff Jarrett's odyssey as he tried

06:15to earn himself a world title shot in a match against Claudio Castagnoli.

06:19Wheeler Yuta's appearance at ringside turned the tide in the favor of his D-Rider stablemate,

06:23but while Jeff got a good sharpshooter in deep, Yuta distracted the ref, Mox hit the

06:28paradigm shift, and Claudio hit the worst neutralizer of his career for the win. After

06:33the match, MJF hit the ring seemingly to cut a promo, but he immediately hit Jeff with

06:38the diamond ring and stood over him to say that because he respects his elders, he won't

06:42say he told him so.

06:44Functionally, I don't think the outcome of this was a bad one. Claudio wins and MJF

06:49lays Jarrett out, but honest to God, at this point when I watch the Death Rider stuff,

06:54my eyes just glaze over and I feel my entire nervous system turn off. All the finishes

07:00to their matches are exactly the same. It's like Roman Reigns getting saved by Sola Sokoa

07:052.0 that nobody gives a f*** edition.

07:08Backstage, Ricochet told Rene Paquette that he will get everything off his chest on Collision,

07:13and accused AEW of bullying him by booking him in a match with AR Fox one week before

07:18his match with Swerve. Just the use of the word bullying says so much about this Ricochet

07:24character.

07:25And then we had that match, with AR Fox getting a lot of offense in early. I've been very

07:29interested to see how Ricochet's new character will play into his wrestling style. I have

07:34absolutely loved the character work that Ricochet has shown since World's End. But Ricochet

07:39inherently has a very flashy babyface style, so this was the first time we've really

07:44gotten to see how he's adjusted, and like, yeah, he does less.

07:49AR Fox picked up a lot of the high-flying slack, and I do think he was a good choice

07:53of opponent for Ricochet in this setting, but personally I think he'll Ricochet in

07:57the ring needs a little bit more time to find himself. This match wasn't bad by any stretch,

08:02I was just hoping to be amazed. Ricochet won with the vertigo, and while the match slightly

08:06underwhelmed me, the post-match I thought was superb. Swerve attacked Ricochet and delivered

08:11a great beatdown, but before he could put an exclamation point on it by hitting the

08:15swerve stomp, Ricochet grabbed Fox and held him hostage with the scissors until he was

08:20able to make it up the ramp and out of danger.

08:22They advertised Chris Jericho's new movie, and then there was another New York Minute

08:26where Jericho told Big Bill that he didn't get the job done on Collision. The cracks

08:29in the learning tree are starting to show, this may not be long for the world, free Brian

08:34Keith!

08:35J. White then finally got his hands on Wheeler Yuta, and while Yuta did work over J's ankle

08:40and knee, J got a flash blade runner out of nowhere for the win. J hit a second blade

08:44runner after the bell, but before he could hit a third, the Death Riders jumped him and

08:48laid him out. If only he had a returning ass-mountain of support coming in the form of a tag team!

08:54And yes, ass-mountain is a very good pun! Thank you, I already know! Wes told me!

09:00Instead, it was Rated FTR that made the save, as Dax challenged the Death Riders to a mid-south

09:05street fight in the name of Dennis Conjury of the Midnight Express, who was in attendance.

09:09Hello, Luke!

09:10Hello.

09:11Not taking it again.

09:12I'm interrupting you.

09:13Hello.

09:14Continuity.

09:15See, he's coming in after the fact, like Rated FTR did on this show. At a time where

09:23it isn't appropriate. Slightly delayed.

09:26FTR vs. Mox and Claudio at last year's Revolution was fantastic, so that should be something

09:31to look forward to, but yeah, this was a very Death Riders heavy episode, and I've already

09:36made my feelings known about that.

09:39What? Claudio's not even in the match?!

09:54After a recap of what happened on Collision, Mariah May cut her interview short with Renee

09:58Paquette, who told her that she seemed shaken, instead standing alone and running down Toni

10:03Storm. It was a fine enough promo, but we didn't really break new ground here, either.

10:07I don't have the time to go through my thoughts on the Toni Storm reveal from Collision here

10:10and now, but make sure you tune into the podcast later to hear Luke and I break down this show,

10:15and maybe some things from the weekend.

10:17The Guns are going to be back soon, as we got a vignette that was almost so normal it

10:21astounded me. They lifted weights, there was soft, light accompanying music, it felt like

10:26I was watching a commercial about staying fit. At least Jay White might finally have

10:31some actual goddamn backup that doesn't wait until he's already dead to make the save!

10:36The Hurt Syndicate got a celebratory vignette where MVP gave props to Private Party for

10:40being formidable champions, but put the whole locker room on notice because their reign

10:44has begun, and they hurt people.

10:47We got a Konosuke Takeshita video package detailing his wins in New Japan and around

10:51the world.

10:52Then we got a recap of what had happened throughout the whole show to this point, and it was at

10:56this point I realized this was a poorly paced episode of television.

11:00But it didn't stop there either, because the Vendetta was backstage, angry about Harley

11:07Cameron costing Dionna her match from collision, and now Harley Cameron belongs to them and

11:11they're coming to collect.

11:13Finally, we had our main event, as Mercedes Monet retained the TBS Championship against

11:17Yuka Sakazaki.

11:18It took quite a while for the crowd to get into this one, which I can't say I'm surprised

11:22by, because it has been a while since we had a title match where a retention was as nailed

11:28on ahead of time as this one.

11:30Thankfully, both of these women are very strong workers, and Yuka taunting Mercedes with her

11:35sexy dance.

11:37Sexy dance.

11:38Input the clip of Shota Umino doing the sexy dance.

11:41It was very fun, so the fans had reason to cheer, but ultimately Mercedes got the Monet

11:45maker and got the win.

11:47It was a good little match, but I'm really not sure why it was the main event of this

11:51show.

11:52Perhaps it's because there was nothing else on this show!

11:56It didn't hit me until we were well into the second hour, but I have no idea how you

12:01could put on last week's Dynamite, complete with electrifying characters, moving emotional

12:06storytelling, an awesome title change, and Harley f***ing Cameron being Harley Cameron,

12:13and then one week later, put on a show that highlights precisely none of those things!

12:20F***ing have the Hurt Syndicate open the show and squash a legit team, cement their title

12:25reign.

12:26Why, after getting absolutely mullered last week, did Cope have nothing to say to try

12:30and get anyone hooked on this lifeless story?

12:33The Don Callis family beatdown was fine, but it was a copy and pasted from two weeks ago.

12:38I thought maybe the TVS title match was going to go on last to give the Harley Cameron-Mercedes

12:42Monet set up for Australia the weight of a main event spot, but no, it was just a cold

12:48TV match with no pomp, no circumstance, no highlight packages hyping it up throughout

12:52the show.

12:53Nothing!

12:55You dedicate one of your dozens of vignettes to something that was actually f***ing relevant

12:59to the show!

13:02And yeah, at the heart of it, this Death Rider story is a blight upon AEW, in case you could

13:06possibly forget.

13:07This episode of Dynamite gets a 2 out of 5.

13:09And that just about wraps things up for me, but if you want something a little lighter

13:12to go check out, make sure you watch the final episode of Video Game League, where we throw

13:17skill out the window with our good old fashioned Super Mario Party Jamboree.

13:22Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancin' at the Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on...
