WWE News Roundup - Superstar shuts down Royal Rumble idea and asks for release, Vince McMahon's mother passes away, AJ Styles on Cody Rhodes' status (January 29th, 2022)

#2 AEW star Anthony Ogogo's match removed from the WWE Network

In a move that's bound to turn a few heads, Anthony Ogogo's recent match for PROGRESS Wrestling was cut from the WWE Network. The AEW star made his debut for the UK promotion on January 23rd in a singles win over Hari Singh.

The episode titled "PROGRESS Chapter 127: 'And the word was PROGRESS'" was streamed on the Network, but Ogogo's match was conspicuously edited out of the show.

PROGRESS received inquiries about the exclusion of the match, and the company responded by stating that the 'bonus match' was exclusive to its "demandPROGRESS" offering.

The Network features a lot of independent wrestling content from the United Kingdom, with PROGRESS being one of the companies having a working relationship with Vince McMahon's team.

However, AEW still seems out of bounds as WWE clearly does not want to have an active talent from their rivals on its Network programming.
