6 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: Why Vince McMahon was "angry" at Seth Rollins, RAW superstars' push reportedly "over"

#6. Hope isn't true: Jon Moxley vs Kenny Omega under investigation by State Athletic commission for breach of rules

Jon Moxley vs Kenny Omega at Full Gear

Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega went for a full 39-minutes at AEW Full Gear in what can easily be described as the most brutal match in the short history of the promotion. The nature of the match was a true throwback to Moxley's CZW days and both he and Omega took an immense amount of punishment that also led to an immense amount of bleeding.

This is a bit of a confusing situation as there was reportedly an investigation by the Maryland State Athletic Commission, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. It was reportedly an inquiry made by former WCW announcer Chris Cruise, who got in touch with the state athletic commission about the rules on blading and excessive bleeding.

Cruise wanted to know whether there was a commission doctor at ringside during the match. He also wanted some clarity on whether the wrestlers would be allowed to continue if they ended up bleeding heavily, irrespective of the cause.

The commission had confirmed that blading isn't allowed, nor is the introduction of human or animal blood. While Meltzer said he wasn't sure about the nature of the ongoing investigation, he did state that the initial report ruled out any wrongdoing.

We hope this rumor isn't true because it's a messy situation to be in.
