Well not the direction I was expecting the supposed DBryan and Roman feud to go.
Tallahassee PD reported they had found Jericho’s belt and posted a picture of an officer holding the AEW Championship. But then shortly after they deleted the post and said the investigation was still open and ongoing. What a spectacle.
Whether or not it actually gets recovered this is gonna make for hilarious promo material for awhile
TPD is now confirming that yes, they have recovered the AEW Championship. Someone turned it in to the police station claiming they had “found it on the side of the road”.
Watched Royal Quest earlier, at least some of it. Loved the semi-main, which is not a surprise. Tana/ZSJ is my top match series/rivalry of the past 5 years or so. I've said before that Ospreay isn't my cup of tea (and he had even stupider hair than the last time I saw him), but it's a good idea having him and Eagles team together at least a couple times, especially if they are going to be in Super Junior Tag. Tag title match was pretty good for a GoD match. Rest of the show, whatever.
I had no problem with them delaying putting the stream for Royal Quest up. What I have a problem with is Super J Cup still not being up and it being spoiled by this show. Seriously? That's not something I fault the wrestlers or commentators on, but the company. After a so-so G1 and coming up on a slow part of the year, I'm rolling my eyes and considering cancelling my subscription.
Flip Gordon was fired from villian enterprises for ordering a well done steak. I think he got off easy.

So turns out at Rev Pro's Summer Sizzler event the tag team champions Sha Samuels and Josh Bodom assaulted the referee of their match after the match ended causing the referee to sustain injuries that have probably ended both his wrestling career and his soccer career as a referee.
Apparently the issue came in their match with Aussie Open that had the winner going to the NJPW show, Bodom did not get his shoulder up in time to stop the three count and the referee counted the three as a result. Bodom then went after the ref post match and Samuels apparently joined in thinking it was a kayfabe move by his partner to cover up the screw up. Rev Pro finally put out a statement today after reviewing the video of the incident and speaking with all involved and are disciplining Samuels internally for horrible judgement in the moment and terminated Josh Bodom who has basically been blacklisted from half the major UK promotions to begin with even before this incident.
Was reading about that on squared circle. bodom tried to claim self defense due to a leg takedown by the ref who was trying to save his own hide. Needless to say, fan video proved that was full of shit

I see he's pulled the "They didn't fire me, I retired from pro wrestling" line.
Has anybody been following the Young Lion Cup during the Destruction tour? I've been skipping the tour because it looks weak, but may be tempted to check out the YL tournament matches.
Anthem has reportedly purchased a majority share in AXS TV and HDNet Movies so expect Impact to begin airing on AXS once that officially goes through.
AJ selling the stunner well. Lmao
So Viking raiders are faces now?

...and I was just reading people swear up and down on reddit that they are absolutely heels the other day! I flipped over to Raw right around when they ran in and just assumed they were going to help the stupid club when they arrived. When they attacked, I wasn't sure who turned.
Anyway, good luck to the rightful future King Corbin!
edit: YESSSSSSSS!
All Hail King Corbin
Elias was pulled from the king of the ring tournament due to an ankle injury.

All hail his replacement and next King of the Ring, Shane McMahon.
(not really but probably yes really)
Gable should just get a bye but WWE gonna do something ridiculous.
This tournament is a mess. He should just advance by forfeit, and I'm sure there's precedent for that (just like there is for Corbin getting a bye). They've probably also had a situation where the guy who Elias beat would face Gable.
