00:00 A big WWE return leaked, Cody Rhodes on turning heel, my review of AEW and Rampage and more.

00:09 I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:19 This year, Paul Leveque has missed out on the big talent signings of Kazuchika Okada,

00:24 Mercedes Monet and Will Ospreay.

00:26 Although, if you ask me, Bullet dodged.

00:30 That Ospreay just doesn't want the grind.

00:31 Look at him, putting on the best matches you've ever seen on a weekly basis.

00:35 Lazy.

00:36 That's what he is.

00:37 Resting on his laurels.

00:39 But WWE has had some successes, recruiting Julia, Tama Tonga, the yet-to-debut Jacob

00:45 Fatu and the return of Shawn Spears down in NXT.

00:49 And now news has broken of another name coming back to the company.

00:53 Shortly after it was reported that Erick Rowan had cancelled an upcoming indie booking due

00:57 to "new contractual obligations", it has now been confirmed by PWInsider that the former

01:03 Wyatt Family member has indeed re-signed with WWE.

01:08 Rowan was released by WWE in April 2020, right at the start of the pandemic, and has since

01:14 made appearances for AEW and on the indies.

01:17 He did, in fact, feature on WWE TV last August for the Bray Wyatt tribute episode on SmackDown.

01:23 It's been heavily speculated he'll return onscreen as part of a new version of the Wyatt

01:28 Family, led by Bray's real-life brother Bo Dallas.

01:32 Speaking of spooky, spooky big men, The Undertaker recently made headlines by saying WWE's

01:38 long-term plan should be to turn Cody Rhodes… heel.

01:42 Undertaker earlier AEW fan confirmed.

01:44 But how does Cody himself feel about the idea?

01:47 Speaking to Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat, Cody said he would be lying if he said he

01:52 didn't think about it, but is too caught up with the connection he shares with young

01:56 fans to see it happening.

01:58 He brought up John Cena's lack of heel turn, and said that was "rightfully so".

02:02 But unlike John, Cody refused to rule out the possibility of a future turn, saying "Absolutes

02:08 are the worst thing in pro wrestling."

02:11 For me, the worst thing in pro wrestling is Canadian Destroyers on an apron to set up

02:14 an earful.

02:15 Cody also joined Triple H yesterday on X-Faces, while Levesque teased an announcement on the

02:21 date and location of WrestleMania 41 "very, very soon" and that WWE "is open for business"

02:30 about it happening anywhere around the globe.

02:33 This follows London's Mayor Sadiq Khan posting last week that he wants to bring Mania to

02:37 the city in the future if re-elected… today… on the 2nd May.

02:44 Which I need to vote.

02:45 Unfortunately for British wrestling fans, Khan does not stand a chance against Count

02:49 Binface.

02:50 Who gets my vote?

02:52 Triple H had replied to Sadiq Khan saying "let's talk."

02:56 International PLEs has been the strategy of WWE President Nick Khan, who have reportedly

03:01 put his TKO stocks up for sale.

03:03 This joined Vince McMahon, who has been selling off his shares in the company in big dumps

03:08 over the last several months, and it prompted speculation that Nick was also trying to exit

03:13 the company.

03:14 Top wrestling journalist Pat McAfee, though, has said on his YouTube channel that this

03:18 apparently isn't the case.

03:20 Citing more unnamed sources than a rap article on The Rock, McAfee claimed that despite the

03:24 stock filing state and as such, Khan isn't selling any of his TKO stock - something recently

03:30 also said by Brandon Thurston of WrestleNomics.

03:33 Now it's time for my review of AEW Dynamite, with a bonus hour of Rampage… in about 5

03:40 minutes.

03:41 The show cold opened on Tony Khan live from Jacksonville, Florida, where he'll be remotely

03:47 producing AEW Dynamite, literally, this week, in Winnipeg, Shazam Fury of the Gods.

03:55 Until those dastardly Young Bucks interrupted him in the actual on-site production desk,

03:59 cutting him off, blaming technical difficulties.

04:02 The Bucks explained they had ironclad contracts, which is why they weren't fired after last

04:07 week's assault.

04:08 Contracts so ironclad, I assume it must also stop any police action being taken against

04:13 them, that they'll be running this week's show.

04:15 Cueing up new opening credits with just clips of the Elite.

04:19 This was really fun, the only thing I'd change is having Tony's part as an offscreen

04:22 phone call, because his over-the-top smiling kind of undermines the brutal injury and threat

04:27 of his company being taken from him.

04:30 Swerve Strickland opened the show proper with an in-ring promo calling what the Elite did

04:34 to Tony a bitch move.

04:35 Then why didn't you come out and help him last week?

04:38 And asking for his first title challenger.

04:41 I was all geared up for Hangman Page's music to hit, but got a returning Christian Cage

04:46 instead.

04:47 That's fine, I like Christian Cage too.

04:50 I love Christian and he'll do some great heel things, but I don't think he's the

04:54 right opponent to start Swerve's title reign.

04:57 Christian would've been significantly hotter.

04:59 Especially with that moustache.

05:00 The patriarchy beat up both Swerve and NaNa, with Christian neatly bringing up how Strickland

05:05 assaulted his son Nick Wayne last year and lost Christian their All In tag match.

05:10 Kill Switch even pulled a braid out of Swerve's head.

05:13 The House of Black played mind games with Adam Copeland, not letting him know which

05:17 member would answer this episode's cope open.

05:21 Instead it was Buddy Murphy, where they had an odd Slugfest style match, the main spot

05:25 having them collide with a double crossbody in the middle of the ring for Buddy to start

05:30 coughing up blood, giving him the babyface psychology of fighting through injury.

05:34 What blood based gimmick for Edge?

05:37 Could this possibly be teasing?

05:39 Copeland won, and was about to hit a concerto on Buddy when Malakai Black appeared not to

05:43 save his faction mate, but go on, hit him in the head.

05:49 And then they disappeared.

05:50 Samoa Joe got his first match since losing the world title.

05:53 You are a brave man, Isaiah Cassidy.

05:55 Joe played the babyface hits like I was watching the best of TNA Joe's squash matches, and

06:00 he won with the Muscle Buster.

06:01 Orange Cassidy then said that Chucky T will never wrestle again after his parking lot

06:05 brawl against Trent, which I'm really hoping is storyline.

06:08 Security and Chris Statlander stopped him from brawling with Trent when, weirdly, Don

06:13 Callis got in Orange's ear and they walked off together.

06:17 Jack Perry told Renee backstage that AEW is now in a 'new era'.

06:21 Wait a second, is this whole storyline a rib on another company getting recently taken

06:26 over by a historically power-mad wrestler?

06:28 Chris Jericho beat Shibata in a really fun hardcore match for the FTW title, with Shibata

06:32 no-selling kendo stick shots while in a bin, a bag full of hockey pucks - because Canada

06:37 - and the finish, Big Bill chokeslamming Shibata through a table.

06:41 I thought we were all trying to protect Shibata these days.

06:44 Amidst months of go-away heat, Jericho has somehow found a pretty good new gimmick.

06:49 I still want him to go away for a bit though.

06:51 Claudio beat Brian Cage in a decent, if predictable match, where the best bit was a 'support

06:56 WrestleTalk' sign in the crowd.

06:57 That's about us.

06:59 The worst bit was the zoom-ins and cuttings they did on Claudio's swing.

07:03 Is this a meta joke at old WWE too?

07:06 Serena Deeb used her technical skills to beat Mariah May, becoming Toni Storm's No. 1

07:10 contender at Double or Nothing.

07:11 I love watching Deeb wrestle.

07:13 Her multiple twisting backslide pin attempt was awesome.

07:16 But right now, this does feel like another filler feud for Storm.

07:19 We were pretty much in the Rampage third hour by the time Dynamite started its main event,

07:24 when OPEC's favourite wrestler, who also did something in NORTH CAROLINA, Kenny Omega.

07:31 Kenny spoke about being diagnosed with diverticulitis, that his doctor told him he was 24 hours from

07:36 death, and he replied 'cool story, can you patch me up to get back to Dynamite?'

07:40 But then the realisation of just how serious a condition this was set in.

07:44 He might have to have surgery, be sliced open down his front, wearing a colostomy bag for

07:49 the rest of his life.

07:50 As for wrestling, any sort of blunt force trauma to the stomach could kill him.

07:55 So probably not the best idea to hang out with LA Knight.

07:59 But Kenny spoke about watching Dynasty and how there were all these conversations about

08:03 who the best wrestler in the world was.

08:06 So even if there's a 1% chance, bag or no bag, he will return to the ring.

08:13 It was great to hear him talk, weaving his real-life condition with pro wrestling working

08:17 so well I couldn't see the seams.

08:20 Looking back, the blunt force trauma to the stomach could kill him line was obviously

08:23 a set up for when Jack Perry hit him with blunt force trauma to the stomach, but I was

08:28 too wrapped up in Kenny's talking to see I was being worked.

08:32 He then said talking of S-word bags.

08:35 Fantastic colostomy, Segway.

08:38 The Elite aren't the only ones with power behind the scenes.

08:42 He is an EVP too.

08:45 So obviously the Elite had to take him out.

08:48 Okada interrupted, giving the always spine-tingling visual of Okada and Omega in a wrestling ring,

08:53 for Perry to jump him from behind with a chair.

08:55 Omega fought back way more than I thought he'd be able to, even hitting a Dragon Suplex,

09:00 but Okada tripped him, letting Perry hit him in the gut with the chair.

09:04 FDR ran down for the save, and medical personnel stretched Kenny to the back as Rampage started,

09:10 for the Elite to attack him again backstage, tipping him off the stretcher onto the floor.

09:15 The rest of Rampage saw J White beat Dante Martin, Jericho officially pulled Big Bill

09:19 down into the Jericho Midcard Vortex, and Karl O'Reilly beat Rocky Romero with wrestling.

09:27 But the best match of the whole three hours was Willow Nightingale beating Sky Blue in

09:31 a Falls Count Anywhere match.

09:33 Complete with Willow hitting a cannonball off the apron onto a chair outside, Sky Blue

09:37 bleeding red and getting driven into thumbtacks off a second rope brainbuster, and the awesome

09:43 finish of Willow hitting a Dr. Bomb off the apron onto a barbed wire board through a table.

09:48 Right now, Willow's TBS title reign is being booked how swerve should be.

09:52 This week's Dynamite/Rampage combo is 78%.

09:55 Have you ever thought what are the best wrestling finishers of all time?

09:59 We've got you covered!
