Welcome to another edition of the AEW News and Rumor Roundup, where we look at the latest updates from the world of All Elite Wrestling.
On today's roundup, we take a look at Bray Wyatt hinting at his next move, a backstage story between Ruby Soho and Ronda Rousey and a lot more. Could Wyatt be making his AEW debut soon?
#5 Bray Wyatt drops a hint about potential return
Since Bray Wyatt's release from WWE earlier this year, there has been a lot of speculation regarding his next move and which promotion he could sign up for. With his non-compete clause up soon, Wyatt recently teased a return on social media while responding to fans, saying that he would "see you all very soon":
According to reports, a move to Tony Khan's promotion may be on the cards for Bray Wyatt. One report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggested that he could be making his AEW debut as soon as the edition of Dynamite on 9/29 which will take place from Rochester, New York, the hometown of the late Brodie Lee, who was close friends with Wyatt.
#4 AEW star Ruby Soho on how Ronda Rousey is behind the scenes
On a recent appearance on Talk Is Jericho, Ruby Soho opened up about her experience working with Ronda Rousey in WWE. She spoke about what it was like working with Rousey and what she was like backstage. Soho also revealed that the UFC legend had "rallied" for her backstage and helped the two get a big match on RAW:
"It was awesome. She honestly gave me one of my favourite matches that I had while I was there because it meant a lot to us. She's one of those people that's incredibly humble when she knows she doesn't know a lot about what she's in at the moment but she's a sponge. That girl picks up super fast and legitimately has amazing instincts. She's awesome and we had a match at Elimination Chamber and we were on the house shows prior to that, she and I had this match that we were super proud of and were really really exicted to do."
"We got to the show for Elimination Chamber and we had the time that we thought we had and then a few minutes later, we were told it's going to be two minutes," said Ruby Soho.
Ruby Soho added that while she knew the story was being built for the first all-women's WrestleMania main event, she was still left disappointed. However, she was in for a surprise the next night on the Red brand. According to Soho, Ronda Rousey "rallied for that match to happen" and their match ended up main-eventing Monday Night RAW.
#3 Max Caster took multiple shots at Tony Khan before AEW Dynamite
As Tony Khan was addressing the live audience before AEW Dynamite last Wednesday night, he was interrupted by The Acclaimed - Max Caster and Anthony Bowens. As you may know, Caster was briefly taken off All Elite Wrestling television following a controversial pre-match rap.
After interrupting Khan, Max Caster started to rap and took shots at the boss, asking for more rules so he could break them. He also mocked the Suzuki Incident before taking shots at New Jersey.
#2 Konnan praises how All Elite Wrestling has booked Eddie Kingston
WCW legend Konnan discussed the match between Miro and Eddie Kingston, from All Out, on a recent episode of the Keepin' It 100 podcast. He praised AEW for how they had booked Kingston into becoming a fan favorite, saying that WWE definitely wouldn't have booked him to be so "over" with fans:
"This was a hard-hitting match," said Konnan. "The people were really behind Eddie. He definitely wouldn't be this over in WWE, that's for damn sure. And I like at the very end he did a really cool stun kind of drunk groggy sell, and then Miro won. This was a good, physical match."
Miro is set to defend the TNT Championship against Fuego Del Sol later tonight on AEW Rampage. The latter has put his new car on the line in order to gain the title shot.
#1 Paul Wight recently discussed differences between the creative process in AEW and WWE
Paul Wight recently did a short interview with Adam Glyn. He spoke about the difference in the creative process in AEW and WWE, adding that while he felt both products are amazing, All Elite Wrestling is, in his opinion, an "authentic wrestling product". He also commented on how Tony Khan's promotion does not have multiple writers like WWE does:
"I think both products are amazing, I think they're just different products. I think WWE is always going to be the entertainment sports spectacle, the global brand they've worked so hard to be and AEW is more of an authentic wrestling product. You know, there's no 15 to 20 writers backstage at AEW. If you have a promo, you have a promo, if you have a match, you have a match. There's not much upper level handling on what they want during the match and what they are trying to present for the intellectual property that they own," said Paul Wight.
Paul Wight recently made his in-ring debut in the company at All Out where he beat QT Marshall.
