(WATCH): He Can Do That Too. Xavier Woods Cosplays As The IIconics And Its Pretty Awesome.
Posted: 01 Sep 2019 01:05 AM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/watch-can-xavier-woods-cosplays-iiconics-pretty-awesome/
I….don’t know what to think about this. To say that the New Day is one of the most popular stables of all time is quite the understatement. Their longevity is nearly unmatched in modern WWE and their merchandise sales
have been quite strong throughout their entire run. A big reason for that
is due to their comedy, which has been quite the hit. One of them is doing some on his own and it’s quite the sight.
Xavier Woods has released a new Instagram video of himself and his friend Mikail Mosley cosplaying as the IIconics. The cosplay costumes were put together for Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia over the weekend. Woods seems
to be portraying Billie Kay to Mosley’s Peyton Royce in the video, which includes both entrance music as well as the IIconics’ signature entrance.
This one is almost hard to believe. Check out Woods’ rather funny video: [This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: I’m not sure what to think of this one and I have a feeling I’m not alone in that feeling. Woods is one of the funniest wrestlers in the business today and he certainly seems talented at something like this. If nothing else it is hilarious to see him imitate someone as over the top as
the IIconics, who are probably a bit harder to imitate than it would seem. Woods can do a lot of things and it is great to see him have this kind of success.
What do you think of the video? Who is the best wrestling impersonator you have seen? Let us know in the comments below.

(VIDEO): An Old School Reunion. WWE Hall Of Famer Appears At AEW All Out
And Lays Out A Wrestler.
Posted: 01 Sep 2019 12:40 AM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/old-school-reunion-wwe-hall-famer-appears-aew-lays-wrestler/
A strange reunion. All Out took place on Saturday night and there were all kinds of things taking place on the show. With so many things going on, it
was hard to keep track of the biggest and more interesting things but that
is often the case on the larger shows. One thing that took place was a
major cameo, and it came as part of a bit of a reunion of a legendary team.
During the Cody vs. Shawn Spears match at All Out, Arn Anderson made his
AEW debut and gave Spears a spinebuster. The interference canceled out
Tully Blanchard, Anderson’s former tag team partner in the Four Horsemen,
who is now Spears’ manager. Anderson was released from his agent position
in WWE earlier this year, though there has been no word about him signing
with AEW.
Anderson can still do some of this stuff. Check out his appearance at All
Out:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: I’ve been an Anderson fan for a long time now and it was cool to
see him appear on this show. Anderson would be incredibly valuable for AEW
as he has more experience and one of the best minds of the business than
almost anyone else in wrestling. There is a good reason that he was John Cena’s hand picked agents for his matches and that could be very valuable
in AEW.
Do you want Anderson in AEW? Who else would you like to see make a cameo?

The Boss Speaks. Vince McMahon Responds To NXT UK Chanting About Him
During Takeover: Cardiff.
Posted: 01 Sep 2019 12:36 AM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/boss-speaks-vince-mcmahon-responds-nxt-uk-chanting/
That could be good or terrifying. Vince McMahon is the most powerful man
in all of wrestling He rules the WWE with an iron fist and there is no one close to what he can do in wrestling. Fans are well aware of this and it
makes sense that they would want McMahon to push wrestlers that they like.
They made their requests clear on Saturday and the boss actually responded.
During Saturday’s Takeover: Cardiff event, the fans chanted “ARE YOU WATCHING VINCE MCMAHON” multiple times during the event in multiple
matches. The chants were meant to get McMahon’s attention and tell him
that various NXT UK wrestlers deserved more attention. McMahon actually responded via Twitter, saying that he was watching and heard the fans.
I heard you, Cardiff. I’m watching and you are loud! #NXTUKTakeOver
- Vince McMahon (@VinceMcMahon) August 31, 2019
I wonder if he was watching this one. Check out Saturday’s main event:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: I can believe that McMahon was watching the show (though it
wouldn’t shock me if he wasn’t, which was fair enough) but what matters more than anything else is if things go anywhere. At the same time though, some of these stars might be better off staying in NXT UK at the moment.
Some of the stars probably made an impression though and if they made it on McMahon, good for them.
What was the most impressive match at Takeover? Who should be called up
first? Let us know in the comments below.

Lets Do This Again. Full Details Released For AEWs Next Pay Per View Event.
Posted: 31 Aug 2019 11:56 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/lets-full-details-released-aews-next-pay-per-view-event/
So that’s next. All Out is over and done with and now comes all of the fallout from the event. There were a lot of things that took place on the
show and while some of them may or may not have been to your liking, things certainly did happen. What matters most though is where things are going
in the future for the company and now we know another detail in this area.
During All Out, AEW announced the details on their next pay per view. The event will take place on Saturday November 9 at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, under the name of Full Gear. No matches have been announced for the event, though several of them are likely to be announced
once AEW debuts on television on October 2. At the moment, their next
event of any kind is scheduled to be the October 2 TNT show.
A lot of stuff happened on the show. Check out the All Out post show:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: That show could be a bit more interesting, though it is certainly close to their debut on TNT. The show will take place after only five
weekly shows, though that is better than having several weeks if not months between each show. If nothing else, it should help things out a little bit
to not have to build every story on YouTube, as those things can only go so far.
What did you think of All Out? What are you hoping to see at Full Gear?

Hope To See You Again. AEW Star Granted Release From Company.
Posted: 31 Aug 2019 11:53 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/hope-see-aew-star-granted-release-company/
One down. AEW has quite the impressive roster with all kinds of names that
can take the company a long way. It very well may be their greatest
strength with some of the names they have to offer possibly being able to counter some of WWE’s top talent. That can make things a lot more interesting between the two companies, but one of them won’t be along for
the ride.
According to 411mania.com, AEW CEO Tony Khan has announced that Kylie Rae
has been released from her AEW contract. The announcement came during the
post All Out media scrum, with Khan saying that Rae requested to be
released from her deal. Rae only wrestled once for AEW and has not
wrestled anywhere since June. She has also recently deleted her Twitter account and it is not clear why she wanted to leave the company.
She doesn’t have many highlights with the company. Check out her Double Or Nothing entrance:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: I’m not sure what to make about this but hopefully Rae just wanted to do something else rather than having a serious problem. I have no idea
why she is leaving but it is a shame from a fan’s perspective as she certainly had some potential to be a star, at least on some sort of a
level, in AEW. She was very entertaining over WrestleMania weekend and I wanted to see more of her. Hopefully she’ll be back someday, but if it’s better for her not to be, that’s what matters more.
What did you think of Rae? How big could she have been? Let us know in

Welcome. Former Tag Team Champions Make Surprise AEW Debuts At All Out.
Posted: 31 Aug 2019 11:50 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/welcome-former-tag-team-champions-make-surprise-aew-debuts/
They’re stacking that roster. In its short history, AEW has put a focus on their tag team division with all kinds of top level teams. There is almost
no company in the world with a tag division that can come close to what
they are doing in that area and it is certainly a strength of theirs. They weren’t done yet though as the division has now gotten even deeper than before.
On Saturday at All Out, the team of Santana and Ortiz debuted for AEW. The team, formerly known as LAX in Impact Wrestling, attacked both the Young
Bucks and the Lucha Bros after their ladder match for the AAA Tag Team
Titles. While their name is not confirmed, their AEW name may be the
Boricuas, which was mentioned several times during the show. The team has
been rumored to sign with the company for several months.
LAX knows the Lucha Bros. Check out one of their awesome matches earlier
this year:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: This is one of those things that is as much of a layup as you are going to see as the two of them fit in perfectly with the AEW tag team division. LAX has proven themselves to be one of the best tag teams in the world at this point and they are more than capable of being on top of the
AEW tag team division. If you haven’t seen them before, they are worth
your time as they really are that good.
Has LAX impressed you before? Who do you want to see them face in AEW?

For Those Who Couldnt Keep Score. Full Recap Of Title Matches From
Saturdays Three Major Wrestling Show.
Posted: 31 Aug 2019 11:48 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/couldnt-keep-score-full-recap-title-matches-saturdays-three-major-wrestling-show/
It was a busy day. Saturday August 31 was a rather packed wrestling day
with three major wrestling shows taking place in three different countries. That meant a lot of things took place up and down the cards with several
titles on the line. Those shows were all big in their own right but odds
are you did not have the time to see all three of them. So what did you
miss?
On Saturday, the three major shows were New Japan Pro Wrestling Royal
Quest, NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff and AEW’s All Out. Combined, the shows featured a total of nine title matches with titles from four different companies being decides. Of those nine titles, the following changed hands:
Royal Quest
Kenta b. Tomohiro Ishii to win the NJPW NEVER Openweight Championship
Hiroshi Tanahashi b. Zack Sabre Jr. to win the Rev Pro British Heavyweight Championship
Takeover: Cardiff
Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster b. Gallus and Grizzled Young Veterans
to win the NXT UK Tag Team Titles
Kay Lee Ray b. Toni Storm – NXT UK Women’s Title
All Out
Chris Jericho b. Adam Page to become the first AEW World Champion
And the following titles did not change hands:
Royal Quest
Guerrillas of Destiny b. Aussie Open to retain the IWGP Tag Team
Championships
Kazuchika Okada b. Minoru Suzuki to retain the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
Takeover: Cardiff
Walter b. Tyler Bate to retain the NXT Championship
All Out
Lucha Bros b. Young Bucks to retain the AAA Tag Team Titles
There was a lot going on. Check out some highlights and fallout from Saturday’s events:

Opinion: Outside of WrestleMania weekend, I don’t remember the last time
that I saw this many big wrestling shows taking place on the same day. With
so many things going on, there had to be a lot of title changes and it
might take a day or so to soak in everything that went down. Either way, it
was a heck of a day with a lot of great wrestling and that is always a
great thing.
Which title change is the most important? Who will lose their new title
first? Let us know in the comments below.

Who Was Crowned As AEWs First World Champion?
Posted: 31 Aug 2019 09:07 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/derekstoughton/crowned-aews-first-world-champion/
Tonight at AEWs All Out pay-per-view, history was made as the company
crowned the first world champion in its history. Hangman Page and Chris
Jericho battled in the main event, in a battle that was waged for the ages.
But who would be the one who came out on top?
In the end, Chris Jericho defeated Page to become the first AEW World
Champion in history. The finish came when Y2J countered a Buckshot Lariat
with a spinning back elbow, and promptly picked up the pin to win the match.
You can see the promotional video for the event below:
[This post contains video, click to play]
In the middle of the match, Jericho was bleeding quite profusely, yet
continued until the very end.
It should also be noted that the referee assigned to the contest, Aubry Edwards, was the first female official in wrestling history to call the
main event match of a pay-per-view between two males.
Editors Opinion:
While some people are going to be upset that AEW isnt passing the torch to Page, I get why they are doing this. Its safe to have a more recognized and well-known performer as the face of your company, leading up to its
mainstream television debut on TNT on October 2. Either way, this was a terrific match, and both competitors have a lot to be proud of!

All Out Live Coverage And Results
Posted: 31 Aug 2019 04:39 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/live-coverage-results-2/
All Out
Date: August 31, 2019
Location: Sears Center, Chicago, Illinois
Commentators: Jim Ross, Excalibur, Alex Mendez
It’s time for the fourth AEW show and the final one before we get to the weekly TNT show. This show might not mean as much as the other shows as it
is all leading up to October, but the World Title will be decided for the
first time. We should be in for a good show, but they have a hard one to
follow after Takeover this afternoon. Let’s get to it.
Pre-Show: Casino Battle Royal
So it’s twenty one women in four groups of five with each group named after
a card suit. Then there is a twenty first entrant with the Joker. The
winner is in the Women’s Title match at the first TNT show. The Clubs (Nyla Rose, Faby Apache, Leva Bates, Shalanda Royal, Priscilla Kelly) start
things off and it’s Rose cleaning house. Peter Avalon (Bates’ fellow librarian) offers Bates some books to stand on but Rose tosses everyone
with almost no effort, plus Peter for a bonus.
The Diamonds (Britt Baker, Penelope Ford, Sadie Gibbs, Shazza McKenzie, Big Swoll) come in next with Ford hitting a handspring elbow on Rose as the
ganging up….is broken up in just a few seconds. Baker pulls Shazza out for
an elimination, leaving Rose to chokeslam Baker and Gibbs at the same time, leaving Swoll for a showdown. Rose isn’t having any of this and puts Swoll
on the apron, setting up a Rock Bottom onto the apron for the elimination.
A hard German suplex drops Ford as the countdown clock ends and….no one is here at the moment.
Ford is out as the Spades (Tenille Dashwood, Ivelisse, Bea Priestly, Brandi Rhodes and Awesome Kong) come out. Baker jumps Priestly in the aisle and
it’s Ivelisse hurricanranaing Gibbs down. Dashwood butterfly suplexes Ivelisse into Gibbs in the corner, setting up Taste of Tenille to both of
them. Brandi orders Kong to start cleaning house but Rose gets back in as a group of people go after Kong. Brandi’s Stunner takes Rose down as Kong
picks up Ivelisse to use as a weapon.
Dashwood and Ivelisse are out and here are the Hearts (Allie, Nicole Savoy, Teal Piper, ODB and the bald Jazz). Allie goes straight after Brandi and
it’s Savoy squaring off with Kong, who whips her into the ropes so Savoy
can hit a big suicide dive. Piper pokes ODB in the eyes and grabs the
sleeper but Kong breaks it up. Rose dumps Savoy and Kong tosses Piper
through the ropes (no elimination), setting up the big monster showdown.
Jazz breaks that up and ODB joins them for the four way brawl. Kong and
Jazz are eliminated as Mercedes Martinez is the Joker and the final
entrant. Martinez starts suplexing everyone in sight and it’s a curb stomp
to Priestly. Allie gets up and starts cleaning house but Rose knocks her
out. It seems that we’re down to Rose, Gibbs, Martinez, Priestly and Baker, plus anyone on the floor. Gibbs gorilla presses Priestly but gets tossed a second later and we’re down to four.
A Sling Blade lets Baker put Martinez down and it’s time to double team
Rose. Priestly tries to dump both of them but saves Rose in the process.
Baker superkicks Martinez out but Rose survives a double toss attempt. Rose manages a cartwheel kick on the apron so Baker hits a Canadian Destroyer on Priestly. One heck of a forearm gets rid of Priestly and Rose dumps Baker
(with an assist from Priestly) for the win at 20:41.
Result: Nyla Rose won the Casino Battle Royal last eliminating Britt Baker (20:41)
Pre-Show: Private Party vs. Jack Evans/Angelico
Isaiah Kassidy starts things off with Angelico and they waste no time in flipping around. Kassidy takes him down and starts dancing so it’s off to Marq Quen vs. Evans, with the former taking over in a hurry. Evans gets in
a shot to the face on Quen though and the villains take over. A guillotine choke has Quen reaching for the ropes as we already get the five minute announcement.
That’s broken up so it’s Kassidy coming back in to clean house, including the big dive onto Angelico. Back in and a slingshot splash gets two on
Evans. A camel clutch into a leap frog double stomp to the back of the head plants Evans, followed by Kassidy flipping over a standing Quen and then flipping back into a tornado DDT on Angelico. An assisted Sliced Bread hits Evans and Kassidy nails a bit running flip dive to the floor.
Quen hits a shooting star press but Evans is back in to suplex Kassidy off
the top. A kick to the face and an assisted 450 gets two on Kassidy as we
hit five minutes left. Everything breaks down and it’s a series of hurricanranas to Evans and Angelico, setting up another hurricanrana into a cutter to finish Evans at 11:14.
Result: Private Party b. Jack Evans/Angelico Hurricanrana into a cutter to Evans (11:14)
Post match Evans and Angelico jump Private Party and wreck Quen’s knee as
the fans are not pleased.
Some kids from a charity sing the Star Spangled Banner.
The opening video looks at just about every match on the show tonight in a
well produced package.
The announcers preview the card again.
SoCal Uncensored vs. A Small Boy/A Boy And His Dinosaur
SCU does their usual stuff before the match with Daniels talking about how
they were All In last year and now it’s a new deck and a new dealer. Jungle Boy and Kazarian start things off with neither being able to get anywhere, meaning they flip to a standoff. Daniels comes in for an STO to put Jungle
Boy down but he’s right back up with a springboard armdrag. Luchasaurus
comes in and it’s a series of kicks to take Daniels down, with the fans
being WAY into the dinosaur.
It’s off to Stunt for a running dropkick and the required Floss Dance, setting up the even more required suicide dive. Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus
hit their own dives and we settle down to Jungle Boy chopping and
headlocking Daniels. A blind tag brings in Kazarian for a dropkick before it’s back to Daniels for a dance of his own. The chinlock goes on for a bit until Jungle Boy fights up and brings in Luchasaurus to kick away.
The chokeslam into a standing moonsault gets two on Kazarian and the fans
are rather pleased. Stunt gets tossed into a tornado DDT on Kazarian but Celebrity Rehab gets SCU out of trouble. A slingshot hurricanrana takes out Jungle Boy and Stunt, followed by Sky’s big flip dive onto Luchasaurus. The Best Meltzer Ever finishes Stunt at 11:58.
Result: SoCal Uncensored b. A Small Boy/A Boy And His Dinosaur Best
Meltzer Ever to Stunt (11:58)
Kenny Omega vs. Pac
They circle each other to start and the fans seem to be more behind Omega.
Pac drops down and Kenny walks over his back for a bit of taunting. They
take turns shoving each other in the face and the 205 chants begin. Omega
sends him outside and tries the dive but Pac is waiting on him with a kick
to the ribs. A whip into the barricade staggers Pac but he’s fine enough to drive Omega back first into the barricade as well.
The choking against the barricade continues, followed by a great looking dropkick to put Omega down again. Omega fights out of a chinlock in a hurry before sending him outside. That means a suicide dive to take Pack out but Omega comes up holding his ankle. Back in and the ankle is fine enough for
a missile dropkick to the back of the head and a fisherman’s buster gets
two.
The Regal Roll connects but Pac rolls away before the middle rope moonsault
can connect. Pac spikes him with a DDT for two but it’s too early for the Black Arrow. Instead Pac moonsaults to the floor, with his leg crashing
into the barricade. Back in and a 450 gives Pac two, followed by Omega’s spinebuster for the same. Something like a fisherman’s buster onto the knee sets up the first V Trigger. The One Winged Angel is broken up so Omega
settles for a bridging German suplex instead.
Pac is back up with a slingshot cutter and a snap German suplex of his own.
The Snapdragon sets up Omega’s second V Trigger for two, followed by the third to stagger Pac some more. Pac hits something like a reverse
hurricanrana but gets caught in a fireman’s carry. Before Omega can throw
him anywhere though, Pac reverses into the Brutalizer (standing Rings of Saturn) to knock Omega out for the win at 23:14.
Result: Pac b. Kenny Omega Brutalizer (23:14)
Darby Allin vs. Joey Janela vs. Jimmy Havoc
This is the Cracker Barrel Clash as we have a sponsored match. They go
straight for the weapons and it’s time for the staple gun. Jimmy uses it on himself and it’s time to head outside with Jimmy getting taped into a
chair. Joey puts thumbtacks in Jimmy’s mouth and tapes it shut as well, leaving Joey vs. Darby inside. A flipping Stunner takes Joey down but Darby would rather flip dive onto Jimmy, who begs him to do it.
The fight heads outside with Joey busting out weapons of his own, including
a tennis racket, which he throws away. Jimmy chops Joey down and gives him
the paper cuts between the fingers. A monkey flip sends Joey flying but he lands in the chair, only to get a paper cut in the mouth. Joey brainbusters Jimmy through a chair and hits a running Canadian Destroyer to send Darby through a table in a nasty crash.
Back up and Jimmy goes for a moonsault to the floor….with absolutely no one there to catch him. Jimmy was down a few feet away but that looked Joey
was trying to hurt himself. Since Joey has been crushed, Jimmy throws a
plate of biscuits at him and then brings some barrels to the ring. Darby is back in with a skateboard covered in tacks, which he double stomps onto Joey’s back.
Darby throws Havoc at the steps and puts him on them….before grabbing a barrel. The Coffin Drop, with a barrel on Darby’s back, only hits steps as
JR declares this insanity. Back in and Joey drops a top rope elbow for two
on Jimmy. Another barrel is brought in and Havoc superplexes Joey….well his foot went through it at least. The Acid Rainmaker through the barrel
finishes Janela to give Havoc the pin at 14:40.
Result: Jimmy Havoc b. Joey Janela and Darby Allin Acid Rainmaker through
a barrel to Janela (14:40)
Dark Order vs. Best Friends
The winners get a first round bye in the Tag Team Title tournament. Chuck can’t do much with Stu to start so everything breaks down in a hurry with
the Friends cleaning house for the hug. We get a SPOOKY PERVERTS chant (JR: “That’s another t-shirt!”) after what the Best Friends have dubbed the Dark
Order.
We settle down to the Order taking over on Trent with a side slam/knee drop combination for two. Grayson hits some knees to the ribs to keep Trent in trouble and it’s a slingshot hilo to the apron as Uno comes back in. A running clothesline isn’t enough for Trent to get over for the tag though
as Uno brings him back to the wrong corner. Grayson pulls Chuck off the
