00:00 Triple H not happy about a huge WWE leak, Cody Rhodes bumped from his WrestleMania match,

00:06 and my review of AEW Dynamite.

00:08 I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:14 It's not only the Royal Rumble this Sunday, I mean Saturday, it's also the beginning

00:23 of the road to WrestleMania.

00:25 The most exciting time of the year to be a wrestling fan, with WWE putting on the biggest

00:30 matches and storylines it can muster, while loads of conflicting reports come out about

00:34 what those matches will actually be.

00:36 It's speculationamania, brother.

00:38 Much love, HH Kiss.

00:40 Kicking off the festivities, Sports Illustrated have posted an article titled "WrestleMania

00:45 40 Card is taking shape and it looks spectacular."

00:49 In it, Sports Illustrated's longtime wrestling writer Justin Barrasso claims his WWE sources

00:55 have told him what's going to happen at the Royal Rumble, and how those events will

01:00 set up matches at WrestleMania.

01:02 Which include…

01:03 Bayley winning the Women's Royal Rumble Gunther winning the Men's Royal Rumble

01:08 The Rock will face Roman Reigns at Mania And Roman wins LOL

01:12 And Cody Rhodes… is not finishing his story.

01:19 Let's go through these one by one.

01:24 Sports Illustrated write that Bayley's "time is coming" and she's set for a

01:27 prime WrestleMania spot alongside Becky Lynch vs Rhea Ripley for the Raw Women's title,

01:32 likely against Io Sky for the SmackDown Women's title.

01:35 They write that while CM Punk vs Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship was

01:40 originally planned, a new plan is in place - that being Gunther, who will beat Rollins

01:45 for the title on the first night of WrestleMania after he wins this weekend's Rumble.

01:51 Not only that, it could potentially be a squash match to cover for Rollins' injury, and

01:55 is being done so Gunther can headline WWE's Bash in Berlin show in Germany as the World

02:02 Champion.

02:03 Which I think is actually incredibly smart booking around an injury.

02:06 Roman Reigns defending his title against The Rock at WrestleMania, and retaining, is to

02:11 still continue his reign and solidify him as the greatest champion in WWE history.

02:18 Again.

02:19 But where does that leave Cody?

02:21 Sports Illustrated write "Sources close to Triple H have indicated that Rhodes will

02:25 not headline this year's event, nor will he finish his story at WrestleMania."

02:31 Instead, they claim he'll face CM Punk following their great promo segment from the Rumble

02:36 Go Home episode of Raw.

02:38 So there we have it.

02:39 We now know the next three months of major WWE results.

02:44 Might as well come back in April.

02:47 But just one more thing.

02:50 Barrasso doesn't have the best track record when it comes to wrestling scoops.

02:55 And the far more reliable WrestleVotes has pushed back on his report, posting that while

02:59 the matches could absolutely happen, the set in stone nature of Barrasso's report is

03:05 a little naive.

03:06 And that a source also relayed that WWE is not happy with the report in general, especially

03:12 labelling it as "Sources close to Triple H" as if he'd be so open with this type

03:16 of specific information.

03:18 As for Cody himself, he's not flinching in an interview to Bleacher Report when he

03:23 was asked about being stuck between The Rock and a hard place.

03:27 I don't think he's the type that would come in a medal with a story that's been

03:30 told over the past two years.

03:33 This ties into a report from Fightful Select, who write that The Rock is a big fan of Cody

03:37 Rhodes and did not return to WWE to stand in the way of anything.

03:42 However, Fightful also add that was before The Rock's promo, and most didn't know

03:46 his head of the table line was coming.

03:48 Rock also mentioned in a recent interview that his new role on WWE's board of directors

03:53 means his personal feelings may have to give way to what's best for the publicly traded

03:58 company - which is money.

04:01 Here's a message from this video's sponsor.

04:08 "Well howdy partner, are you by any chance this 'New Pete' that everyone's been

04:25 a-hollering about?

04:26 How do I know your name son?

04:29 Why everyone's talking about you.

04:31 They're saying that you want to become the fastest man in the world."

04:35 "No, not really, I just wanted to go for some runs, get some new fitness, you know,

04:39 new year new Pete."

04:40 "No need to be modest Peter, I can make your dreams come true.

04:46 If you take AG1, you can be the fastest man in the world."

04:53 "AG1?"

04:54 "Yes, it's foundational nutrition, which can make you feel energised, have support

05:02 for your immune system, your healthy skin and your microbiome."

05:06 "Wow, that's incredible."

05:07 "I haven't finished son."

05:08 "It also improves your focus and mental clarity, as well as combating visible signs of ageing,

05:14 and replenishes your daily micronutrients, especially on workout days.

05:19 And I want to personally thank AG1 for sponsoring this video."

05:24 "This video?"

05:25 "What did I just tell you son?

05:27 And if you at home want to try AG1, then go to drinkag1.com/wrestletalk, which is in the

05:37 description below, to get a free one year supply of vitamin D3 and K2 and 5 free travel

05:46 packs with your first purchase."

05:48 "And it'll make me the fastest man in the world?"

05:52 "Well, no, but it'll make you feel so good, you'll feel like the fastest man in

05:59 the world.

06:00 Give it a try!"

06:09 We have Pete here to talk about his amazing experience.

06:12 Pete, what is your secret?

06:14 "Well, I mean, it's a lot of hard work, a lot of effort and AG1.

06:18 I mean, I really wouldn't have got the boost I needed without AG1.

06:22 And without it, I wouldn't have been able to live out my dreams.

06:25 Dreams.

06:26 Dreams.

06:27 Dreams."

06:28 "It's just a dream.

06:37 Go back to sleep."

06:38 As a shoot, I've actually been drinking AG1 first thing every morning for the last

06:46 4 years.

06:47 And it's really helped me stick to my goals of staying healthy, even when I'm busy or

06:51 really, really stressed.

06:52 It's an easy habit to maintain.

06:53 AG1 has Vitamin C and Zinc to support my immune system, which is one of my favourite benefits.

06:59 And I am also far superior at running than Pete.

07:02 Now it's Thursday, you know what that means.

07:05 My review of AEW Dynamite… in about 5 minutes.

07:10 Following my match of the year so far of Samoa Joe vs Hook - I'm sorry those 20 Will Ospreay

07:15 matches - the AEW Champion cut an in-ring promo reminding everyone how title shots aren't

07:20 given anymore, they're earned through cage match ratings.

07:24 It gave focus to the episode's World Championship picture, with top contenders Hangman Page,

07:29 Swerve Strickland and Wardlow all getting impressive wins.

07:33 Hook interrupted Joe to respectfully acknowledge defeat, before leaning into Joe's ear and

07:37 threatening to one day fight him again.

07:39 I'm very glad they featured Hook on this episode to follow up from last week, but for

07:44 me, every time he speaks, he loses a bit of that magic.

07:47 Instead, I'd have had him do what everyone else did in the World Title storyline - get

07:51 an impressive, decisive victory over a credible opponent.

07:55 Joe stayed out on commentary, which had its table moved to ringside by the crowd - presumably

07:59 to help increase attendance - to scout his World Championship competition, like the show's

08:04 opening contest between Hangman Page and Penta.

08:07 They had a predictably awesome match, again recapturing the AEW fire of old.

08:12 They went back and forth on everything - strikes, kicks, zero Miyada, cowboy shizzle taunts.

08:17 The great in-ring action was given another layer too by Joe on commentary, whose performance

08:21 steadily descended from arrogant to quite angrily concerned about how tough both men are.

08:27 Hangman hit a buckshot lariat to win and go 3-0 this year.

08:30 Stick that in your cage match and gender it.

08:32 Orange Cassidy told Renee backstage he'll be accepting Roderick Strong's international

08:36 title match for Revolution, but that's like six weeks away.

08:41 So in the meantime, he'll keep defending his belt.

08:43 That's how seriously wrestlers in kayfabe are taking the Undisputed Kingdom faction.

08:49 Cool, I guess I'll get to them when I get to them.

08:52 Before then, Cassidy's next challenge will be decided by a four way on Friday's Rampage,

08:57 which includes…

08:58 Dan Latom!

08:59 Don't tie yourself out too much, Danny boy, because you're facing me for the jam that

09:06 championship this Sunday, I mean Saturday, at WrestleTalk's Royal Rumble Watch Along

09:11 Party.

09:16 Cassidy was then in his best friend Trent's corner, furthering the faction's conflict

09:20 with the Undisputed Kingdom by taking on Wardlow.

09:22 While the Undisputed Kingdom have been pretty generic so far, I'm really enjoying this

09:26 version of Wardlow.

09:27 It's not just that he's back to being a heel monster, it's the black and white

09:31 attire, the group of guys around him, and how he carries himself as better than all

09:35 of them put together.

09:37 They worked a really good match, giving Trent some fiery offence, even cheating and using

09:41 a chair, while Wardlow never looked in serious trouble, winning with a sickening last ride.

09:46 It's so good, he just needs one powerbomb to win now.

09:49 And it's another smart heel trick, as it stops the crowd chanting 'one more time'

09:54 like they would've done for a babyface Wardlow.

09:56 Matthew and Nicholas Buxon continued their new heel characters backstage, arriving late

10:02 but still calling out top flight for their tardiness.

10:04 Deonna Purrazzo and Toni Storm's interview segment didn't just reveal a real personal

10:08 basis for their title feud, it was also an achievement in in-camera special effects.

10:14 Despite being conducted live on the top of the ramp, Toni's half of the screen was

10:18 in black and white, while Deonna's was in gloriously permatand colour.

10:22 All in the same shot.

10:24 Purrazzo said she doesn't want to face the delusional, timeless Toni Storm.

10:28 She wants the Toni she trained with in Japan, where they were so close, revealing a very

10:33 cool real-life detail, they got matching ankle tattoos.

10:36 Toni responded to the cognitive dissonance that she might not really be a Golden Age

10:41 Hollywood actress by telling Deonna to put her tattoo down her butthole.

10:45 They scuffled, and Purrazzo stood tall with the title.

10:48 Tye Valkyrie later called Deonna out between tonguing John Morrison's face off.

10:52 Moxley just casually cut promo of the week in a pre-tape backstage.

10:56 After toiling away for months in AEW's developmental system Rampage, the young upstart Jeff Hardy

11:01 was then called up to the main Dynamite roster, marking his first singles match on the show

11:06 since 2023's Match of the Year winner of him vs Jeff Jarrett in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre

11:12 deathmatch.

11:13 I'm only slightly joking there, I ironically love that match.

11:18 Jeff has been passively aggressively posting on social media that he's not being showcased

11:22 on Dynamite for a month now, so he wrestled like he had something to prove against Swerve.

11:27 They had a great match, with Swerve's unique offence kind of acting like a 2024 mirror

11:31 to how Jeff was in the Attitude Era days.

11:34 They worked a main event calibre style, with Jeff hitting a twist of fate on the steel

11:38 steps, but Swerve got the stomp to win.

11:41 Strickland then crashed Renee's interview with Hangman backstage, asking who the last

11:44 person to beat Paige was.

11:46 Answer, it was him.

11:48 For Hangman to scream back what everyone watching this channel should now have as their 2024

11:53 mantra.

11:54 New year, new me, dumbass.

11:56 Renee then revealed next week they'll both be in Dealers' Choice matches, where they

12:00 get to choose each other's opponents.

12:02 Swerve should pick Moxley, reprising that classic feud from last year, and I think this

12:06 would be a great spot for Hangman to choose Hook.

12:09 I'm seeing double here.

12:11 Four women's segments on an episode of Dynamite.

12:13 Thunder Rosa beat Red Velvet in a decent match, and then called out Tony Storm off mic afterwards.

12:18 But the camera does not care about your match building, Rosa.

12:21 We've got to see the Savannah Bananas at ringside.

12:24 With Serena Deeb set to return on Saturday's collision, this felt like the most fleshed

12:28 out women's division in ages.

12:30 It's Sting!

12:33 And he's in the ring!

12:38 With Darby Allin!

12:45 Yeah.

12:50 Darby noted that because the rankings are back, they're the number one contenders for the

12:53 tag team titles.

12:55 Sting agreed, and a match against Ricky Starks and Big Bill was made for two weeks' time.

12:59 Despite announcing Sting's retirement back in October, it feels like it's caught AEW

13:03 by surprise, and they're booking several months of storyline into one.

13:07 If Sting and Darby were already tag champs before Sting's final match was announced,

13:11 the Young Bucks walking out would've made way more storyline sense.

13:15 Speaking of, the best part of this whole segment was Nicholas and Matthew producing it backstage,

13:20 when Nicholas said - that's a terrible camera shot -

13:22 "It's official.

13:24 Now they've got the trios belts.

13:26 Bullet Club Gold have the best entrance in wrestling."

13:29 They didn't actually wrestle the match, though.

13:30 It was the acclaimed defending their AEW trios belts against the Mogul Embassy.

13:35 Instead, Jey White and The Gunn stopped Prince Narnia from cheating during Billy Gunn's

13:38 hot tag, helping their new 'super faction friends' retain.

13:42 I'm really into this storyline, and I can't wait for Jey White to reveal he was only ever

13:46 doing it to get to the AEW trios belts.

13:49 But Austin Gunn thought they were doing it for love.

13:52 The main event was a fever dream of a match.

13:55 Minoru Suzuki vs Adam 'Edge' Copeland.

14:00 It's the sort of visual that doesn't quite make sense in the brain.

14:04 Like Ishii vs Kane.

14:08 Or Triple H vs Hiroshi Tanahashi.

14:11 WWE New Japan Forbidden Door main event confirmed.

14:14 They had a very fun exhibition match, not at the level of Suzuki's great AEW cameos,

14:18 but an enjoyable spectacle nonetheless.

14:21 Unfortunately, the camera just missed what would've been the best spot - Suzuki sitting

14:25 up laughing after getting speared to lock in a choke on Copeland.

14:29 Copeland won in the end, sending Suzuki into an exposed turnbuckle, then hitting Christian's

14:33 Kill Switch to win.

14:34 We got what looked like some stock footage from 2023 of Christian reacting, as Copeland

14:39 promised he's still coming for him.

14:42 This was a fun, solid episode, but not much progressed.

14:45 This week's Dynamite is 80%.

14:47 Now go watch us count down the worst wrestling entrance themes, ever.
