Kevin Owens Headed Back To NXT?

NXT makes its USA debut tonight, and there may be a surprise or two in store. According to PWInsider, the expectations with many backstage in WWE is that Kevin Owens will be returning to NXT, which ties in the storyline of him being fired from WWE.

Jason’s Take

It has long been rumored that WWE could possibly be sending some main rosters stars back down to NXT even before the move to USA was announced. I like the idea, and it plays into the current Owens and Shane McMahon storyline. Could it be possible that we seen even more stars from the main roster return to NXT?

Paul Heyman In Charge Of RAW

Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that Paul Heyman was fully in charge of RAW this week. Kevin Dunn, HHH, and Vince McMahon were all absent from backstage. HHH obviously already had his hands full with working on the NXT on USA debut this week.

Jason’s Take

I wish the company would let Heyman always be in charge of RAW, however, I can’t see that happening anytime soon.

Huge Match Announced For SmackDown on FOX

During Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown Live, Brock Lesnar made a surprise appearance. During the appearance, Paul Heyman announced that Lesnar will be taking on Kofi Kingtson on the first episode of SmackDown Live on FOX.

Jason’s Take

WWE is going to pull out all the stops for the first episode of SmackDown on FOX. While the first episode will most likely draw a decent rating, it will be interesting to see what the company does to continue to draw ratings. They wont have Lesnar challenging for the title every week.

AEW Weekly TV On TNT Finally Has  A Name?

Shortly after the announcement of the formation of AEW and the announcement of weekly television on TNT, people wondered what the weekly TV show would be named. There were initial rumors that the program would be titled Tuesday Night Dynamite. Those rumors would be shot down as the program was moved to Wednesday. A recent trademark filing shows that AEW filed for the name All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite. Tony Kahn had stated he wanted the program to have a name, and for the show not to be titled All Elite Wrestling On TNT.

Jason’s Take

I don’t know why the company is so fascinated with the program being named dynamite, but to each his own.

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
