#5 Mark Henry reveals when he could step foot in AEW ring
AEW's Mark Henry recently revealed that he is currently dealing with injuries he suffered years ago, which is preventing him from making an in-ring debut in the company.
The former WWE superstar stunned the wrestling world by showing up at AEW's annual Double or Nothing pay-per-view. The company announced that he'd be an analyst on AEW Rampage, the promotion's upcoming show. Apart from his initial role with the promotion, fans have been keen to know when he will make his in-ring debut.
Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, Mark Henry discussed numerous topics, most notably when fans can expect him to lace his boots again. Henry made it clear that he will definitely wrestle in AEW, but it won't happen anytime soon as he's currently dealing with nagging injuries which he suffered years ago:
“It’s definitely going to happen in AEW,” Henry said. “It’s not going to be any time soon I think. I want to be 100%. I’m still nursing injuries from four years ago. Wrestling business is a tough business, it’s not for everybody. Being in my home state it would be cool to be able to do that, just not at this current time.”
Mark Henry further talked about his upcoming role for the inaugural show, stating that he wants to compete at the level of Jim Ross and Michael Cole, to name a few.
As far as his in-ring debut is concerned, fans can expect Mark Henry to wrestle possibly early next year.
#4 The Young Bucks possibly confirms the arrival of Daniel Bryan and CM Punk in AEW
AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks recently claimed that everyone wants to work in Tony Khan's promotion, which they help elevated.
Social media has been buzzing over the news of CM Punk and Daniel Bryan possibly heading to AEW. Earlier, reports confirmed that Punk is in talks to make a potential comeback to the professional wrestling business, with AEW as its most preferable choice.
There seems to be mere speculation at the moment. But in Daniel Bryan's case, he could have possibly signed with Tony Khan's promotion.
According to some reports, Bryan has signed a contract that will provide him with a much lighter schedule with the same pay that WWE offered him. He will also be given some creative control.
Also, Bryan will be permitted to work some dates in Japan. His return seems inevitable now, considering the long list of details we learned.
The news itself was exciting, but the Jackson brothers brought an extra layer of excitement to it. In their latest Twitter bio, the Young Bucks self-praise themselves, claiming that they're the trendsetters and trailblazers of this promotion where everyone desires to work:
lol. Of course everyone wants to work with the company we started & named. Makes sense. We’re trendsetters & trailblazers. duh," wrote The Young Bucks.
CM Punk and Daniel Bryan will add a lot of star power to the thriving AEW men's roster.
#3 GCW World Champion threatens to end Chris Jericho's AEW career
GCW World Champion Nick Gage recently sent a chilling warning to AEW star Chris Jericho, claiming to retire him if the money offered on the table is right.
During Night Two of the Fyter Fest edition, Chris Jericho overcame the first chapter of the "Five Labors of Jericho" that Le Champion must overcome to earn a match against MJF.
Following his victory, MJF stunned fans in attendance by introducing Nick Gage as Jericho's next opponent. Soon after, the company made the match official for next week's Fight For The Fallen special episode of AEW Dynamite.
MJF added fuel to the fire by offering a vast sum of money to Nick Gage if he defeats Chris Jericho. The Deathmatch wrestling legend has now accepted the offer.
Taking to Twitter earlier today, Nick Gage stated that in some cases money comes into play. He further added that he wouldn't hesitate to end the career of AEW star Chris Jericho if the money offered to him felt right:
"Yea i just want everyone to know me & MJF aint boys most of the time id smack a dude like him around but sometimes in the streets $ talks and ill def accept a large amount of $ to make chris jericho bleed & if the price is right ill end his career just bein honest sorry bud MDK," Nick Gage wrote.
MJF has possibly played the trump card here, it remains to be seen whether Le Champion will be able to overcome this hurdle or not.
#2 WWE Hall of Famer says he isn't upset over Daniel Bryan possibly joining AEW
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently given his take on Daniel Bryan possibly joining AEW.
Notable updates regarding Daniel Bryan leaving WWE got the wrestling section of the world buzzing. Several experts and legends have laid down their pros and cons cards on this matter.
WWE legend Booker T has also given his take on the situation. Appearing on The Hall of Fame Podcast, he stated that he wasn't surprised to learn about Daniel Bryan leaving WWE. Booker T further added that every wrestler has the right to make such jumps in their career if they aren't satisfied in the company:
“I’m like Nate Diaz, I’m not surprised,” Booker said jokingly. “I’m going to leave the last part off, but I’m not surprised at all, man as far as guys making the switch and going over. It’s war man, it really is and these guys have every right to actually do it the way they want to do it, if they’re not happy over here.
Booker T claimed that Daniel Bryan will have the opportunity in AEW to rewrite the last chapter of his wrestling career all by himself.
#1 Legendary commentator heaps praise on AEW star Jon Moxley
AEW commentator Jim Ross has heaped praise on Jon Moxley, claiming that he is the "closest thing" to WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin in this era.
Speaking on the latest edition of Grilling JR, AEW's Jim Ross initially praised IMPACT Wrestling star Karl Anderson, stating that he had never seen his full potential until he faced Jon Moxley last week.
JR further added that he views Jon Moxley as close to the level of legendary Steve Austin due to Mox's similar charisma, aggression, and body language, to name a few, which reminds him of Steve Austin:
“I thought Karl Anderson had the best match I’ve ever seen him have on television against Jon Moxley. He had a great match. Moxley is the closest thing I’ve seen in pro wrestling like Stone Cold [Steve Austin] since Stone Cold. Attitudinal, body english, facial expression, and legitimate intensity. Absolutely phenomenal," Jim Ross said.
AEW's Jon Moxley has brought a tremendous change to his character ever since he left WWE. Fans never got to see this ruthless version of him before, which is why he has become the most successful superstar in the professional wrestling business.
