New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Bully Ray lashes out at AEW star Eddie Kingston for taking shots at WWE
Hardcore wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray recently asked AEW star Eddie Kingston to stay within his limits.
Eddie Kingston grabbed headlines this past Saturday when he took several shots at WWE after the Dynamite show went off the air. He stated that legends in AEW are treated more respectfully than the other companies, pointing towards WWE.
He even went far and said that the AEW star does not work here to get themselves big paychecks.
Fans not only acknowledged Kingston's dig at WWE but also appreciated him for throwing some reality checks.
However, Bully Ray didn't seem too impressed with Eddie Kingston's claim. Appearing on the Busted Open Radio, the former WWE superstar stated reminded Eddie Kingston of why he spent so much time in the Indies and asked him not to cross the line.
"Eddie Kingston needs to shut the f*** up and stay in his lane," Bully Ray declared. "And his lane is as an AEW guy speaking about AEW and flying the flag for AEW, then I'm on completely on board. Tell me why that you were an indie guy for the majority of your career. Now this company took a chance on you, and you have learned to love it and everything about it. Now I'm on board, Eddie, but to take the easy way out and knock the WWE, there's no reason to go there. If Cody wants to destroy a throne, I get it. If Jericho wants to say, Eff you, I got it. Eddie, why? There's no reason for Eddie to say it." added Ray
Bully Ray's comments may have hit Eddie Kingston hard, but the way that promo went, someone would come after him sooner or later.
#4 "What is this delete s***?"- AEW star Matt Hardy reveals the weird reaction of Vince McMahon on his Broken gimmick
AEW star Matt Hardy recently revealed that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon had no idea why people were chanting 'delete' back in the day.
Back in 2016, when Matt Hardy was working with IMPACT Wrestling, he introduced his Broken Gimmick during his feud with Jeff Hardy. His new persona involved a lot of bizarre matches and storylines. Surprisingly, his innovation became very popular among the fans.
Appearing on his first-ever Twitch stream on his YouTube channel, AEW star Matt Hardy discussed numerous topics, including Vince McMahon's reaction to Broken Gimmick. Matt Hardy stated that WWE's boss didn't really understand the in-depth about the character:
"One of the reasons I think we were asked to come back is because Vince kept saying ‘Why do these people keep saying delete? What is this delete s**t? Why do people keep going delete?’ Eventually, we spoke to him and that’s how we ended up back there. We came back, we were the Hardy Boyz and once Jeff got hurt, I was going to do a Woken Matt Hardy run,” said Hardy. (H/T - WrestlingInc)
Although Vince McMahon couldn't understand the concept behind the Broken character, he quickly acknowledged its popularity. Within a year, WWE brought Hardy Boyz back at WrestleMania 33.
#3 AEW star QT Marshall reveals top female star he wanted in The Factory
AEW star and leader of the Factory, QT Marshall, recently revealed that he wanted to offer Jage Cargil an opportunity to join his faction.
Back in March 2021, QT Marshall attacked Cody Rhodes and immediately formed his own faction with fellow AEW stars Anthony Ogogo, Nick Comoroto, and Aaron Solow. The group was named The Factory. In no time, it quickly grabbed attention during their feud with Cody Rhodes' Nightmare family.
Appearing on a recent edition of AEW Unrestricted, AEW star QT Marshall discussed numerous topics, including his plans on recruiting any female wrestler in their faction. QT Marshall stated that he wanted Jade Cargill to join his faction, however, he turned down the idea since the female star formed an alliance with Mark Sterling:
“Well, I think the biggest thing we’ve been talking about is possibly adding a female,” Marshall revealed. “Before she signed with Mark Sterling, Jade Cargill would have been the first choice because she trains at the factory, but we wanted her. She’s got a lot going for herself," (H/T-WrestlingInc)
Jade Cargill would have given a different vibe to The Factory had she not paired up with Nick Sterling. It remains to be seen if QT Marshall will add any other female wrestler to his faction in the future.
#2 Top AEW star heaps praise on the Pinnacle
AEW star and member of the Pinnacle, Shawn Spears, has heaped praise on his stablemates, calling them the best workers in the wrestling business today.
Earlier this year, MJF betrayed his former group, the Inner Circle, and formed his own faction with Wardlow, FTR, Shawn Spears, and wrestling legend Tully Blanchard.
The group fought numerous battles with the Inner Circle, which made them the top heel faction in AEW.
Shawn Spears recently took to Twitter, stating that the more wrestling he watches, the more he realizes that the Pinnacle is by far the best faction in all sports entertainment:
"The more wrestling I watch….The more confirmation I get that #ThePinnacle are the best workers in the business today. Without question. We do this business the way it’s supposed to be done," tweeted Shawn Spears
There is no doubt that the MJF-led stable is one of the greatest heel factions today. Their leader MJF is perhaps the best talker in pro wrestling today. With their current momentum, it seems like the Pinnacle will reach higher heights.
#1 AEW World Champion Kenny Omega mocks Jungle Boy over his recent announcement
AEW star Jungle Boy has been making headlines lately, not only in the ring but also outside the ring.
Last Saturday, Jungle Boy unsuccessfully challenged Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship on Saturday night's Dynamite.
Just hours after the match, Jungle Boy took to Twitter and Instagram to announce that he is in a relationship with fellow AEW star and member of the Dark Order, Anna Jay. He didn't write anything in the caption but uploaded a heartwarming picture of himself with Anna Jay.
The news stunned wrestling fans and even Jungle Boy's close friends. Judging by the comments on his post, fans mostly congratulated the young AEW couple.
However, Kenny Omega didn't leave him here either and mocked him on Twitter, stating that now Jungle Boy fans will forget about his recent Championship loss to him:
Oh geez Louise…Is this the part where some loser out there tells me, “there are things in the world more important than titles”???" tweeted Kenny Omega.
AEW star Jungle Boy didn't respond but would like to seek sweet revenge if he gets another opportunity with The Cleaner.
