00:00The backstage reaction to John Cena's heel turn, an AEW star is in WWE 2K25, Tempest's

00:08review of AEW Dynamite and more.

00:11I'm Saiee Nyangi, today is Saiee Day, and this is WrestleTalk News.

00:18We're all still recovering from the shocking conclusion to WWE's Elimination Chamber

00:24where John Cena turned heel by attacking Cody Rhodes in a lining with The Rock, and Travis

00:30Scott was also there.

00:31And it turns out we're not alone, as when asked about the backstage reaction from talent

00:35to this earth-shattering event, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select replied,

00:40There was a lot of pleasant shock.

00:42Fightful Select had previously reported that the heel turn was kept very secret eternally

00:46with only a handful of people knowing it was going to happen.

00:50WWE even had a rundown of the show that had The Rock and Cody segment going third rather

00:55than the main event to keep the heel turn as secret as possible.

00:59SRS writes,

01:00This was the type of thing that even people on the roster had thought was possible, but

01:05they just didn't think would happen.

01:07He adds that there's a lot of excitement in the locker room as a massive angle like

01:11this will put more eyes on the product.

01:14And speaking of products, WWE 2K25 is nearly upon us with the pre-release coming out

01:19tomorrow.

01:20And with a new WWE 2K game comes a new WWE 2K DLC packs.

01:26Details of the first five character packs was released yesterday which saw unsurprising

01:31names like Road Dogg, Mark Henry, Victoria, Sid Justice, Junkyard Dogg, as well as new

01:37signees as Mortal City Machine Guns, Julia, Stephanie Vakur, Jordan Grace, and Penta and

01:43currently unnamed celebrities and NFL players.

01:46But perhaps the most shocking addition were ECW legend New Jack and TNA's legend Abyss

01:54who works as a backstage producer in WWE.

01:57But even more surprising is within the Attitude Era pack released in September is AEW's

02:02Daddy Butt Cheeks himself, Billy Gunn.

02:04Who are you excited for in the season packs?

02:07Let me know in the comments below.

02:08And just before we get into Tempest's review of AEW Dynamite, eagle eyed fans noticed that

02:13Greg Miller's profile had been removed from WWE.com.

02:18It's not being moved to the alumni section and simply made private.

02:21Trying to gain access to it via the URL gets a prompt message saying you don't have access

02:27to that page.

02:28Maybe you need VPN, who knows.

02:29Miller is a host of Kinda Funny and was brought into WWE to host VS Awesome, a show on Peacock.

02:35That show had its third season last year and Miller has revealed in a Greg Wave video on

02:40YouTube that he was aware the show was likely coming to an end once WWE was moving to Netflix.

02:46He reveals that he actually hasn't been with the WWE for a while as he's a freelancer

02:51and was hoping no one within the company would notice his profile was still on the website

02:56so he could boast about being a WWE superstar.

02:59He noted that the closing of the final episode of the third season was a send off to the

03:03show, a thank you to everyone who watched as they figured they wouldn't get to make

03:07more shows.

03:08He also revealed in a writing on the wall that the show was over when the people who

03:12make VS Awesome were laid off in January.

03:15Yeah that'll do it.

03:16And now, before I introduce the man that runs the place, the wickedly talented guy from

03:24the country that Pat McAfee fears because they boom people, here's Tempest B, Canadian!

03:34We boom people!

03:36We boom people!

03:39We boom people!

03:41And the camera goes...

03:43BLACK!

03:45Hello I'm Tempest, I miss that very much, and this is my review of AEW Dynamite in about

03:49five minutes.

03:50MJF kicked off the show with a ton of fire, still hung up on the fans claiming Hangman

03:54did nothing wrong like the perfect little insecure lad that he is.

03:58He said if Hangman wanted a fight, he'd be on the streets of Sacramento with a bullet

04:02with Hangman's name on it.

04:04We then went straight to a contract signing between Swerve and Ricochet, who entered wearing

04:08his third piece of Eagles merch in as many weeks, but with no robe.

04:12He said the robe is getting some upgrades, which pissed off Nana, 5 bucks says that robe

04:16shows up with an Eagles logo on it on Sunday.

04:19Ricochet said Swerve didn't need to worry about his house being burnt down this time,

04:23and Swerve wasn't having it.

04:25He said after Revolution, all Ricochet would be remembered for would be Swerve briefly

04:29revitalizing his career and his ring announcer wife.

04:32That line got legit holy shit chants, and it pissed Ricochet off enough to get him to

04:38try and jump Swerve, only to get stuck with a pair of scissors for his trouble.

04:42Swerve had a bit of trouble getting his words out in this segment, which we know nothing

04:45about on this show, but his aura carried him to incredible reactions regardless, and I

04:51love a babyface who cannot be outsmarted that easily.

04:54Honestly, the biggest shock of this segment was that Ricochet didn't mention the historically

04:59terrible Sacramento Kings, but maybe he just respects Demarda Rosen, like he should.

05:03Raptor pride.

05:04We then had our opening match, the first of many all-star tag matches on this show, as

05:08Will Ospreay, Powerhouse Hobbs, Mark Briscoe, and Orange Cassidy took on the Murder Machines

05:13Brian Keith and Mark Davis.

05:15The babyfaces took turns running wild with punches in the corner, but the Don Callis

05:18family cut off Orange, and that includes Don Callis himself, getting shots in behind the

05:22ref's back.

05:23Hobbs got the meatiest hot tag of all time, and then the babyfaces ran wild with a parade

05:28of signature moves, culminating in Ospreay hitting Keith with the Oss Cutter and the

05:32Hidden Blade for the win.

05:33The Don Callis family beat up all the babyfaces after the bell, and Kyle Fletcher came out

05:37to join in in kicking the s*** out of Will Ospreay, and it was here that we got the most

05:41development in Mark Davis' arc, as he was ordered to hit Will with a chair despite his

05:46reluctance.

05:47Kyle brainbustered Will through the chair while I noticed the support WrestleTalk sign

05:51in the crowd.

05:52Thank you very much, random citizen.

05:54As far as AEW party matches go, I think this is right up there with the most fun they've

05:58ever done.

05:59More 8-man tags!

06:00Give me one every week!

06:01We got Nomega and Takesh to video package that played up their history from DDT and

06:052023, and then Wheeler Yuta took on Cope.

06:08I love that there wasn't enough of a concourse in the venue they were running, so Wheeler

06:12began his walk to the ring from outside, I guess he just wanted some fresh air.

06:17Yuta hit Cope with the Psycho Knee and then locked in the Cattle Mutilation, but couldn't

06:21get the win as Cope hit the Glam Slam and perfectly timed his spear to catch Yuta mid-rewind

06:26Lariat.

06:27After the match, Cope shook Yuta's hand and said that this is what respect feels like,

06:31only for Mox to arrive and push Wheeler around to the point that he walked out on him.

06:36Mox then cut a promo on Cope backstage, and it was pretty standard stuff.

06:40This is probably still the match I'm least looking forward to at Revolution, but my anticipation

06:44for it has risen over the last month.

06:46It's gone from like a 2 out of 10 to a 5 out of 10, and that might not sound great,

06:50but it's improvement.

06:51We got an Outrunners workout video straight out of Smokey Mountain Wrestling, and I think

06:55we need to start releasing everything on VHS.

06:58It just feels better, and by better I mean nostalgic, and I don't want to live in this

07:02decade anymore.

07:03We returned to MJF outside and Rene tried to interview him, but Hangman then tried to

07:08run Max down in the mini JBL mobile.

07:11Hangman chased Max into the building and grabbed a dude that was dressed like MJF, which allowed

07:15Max to jump Hangman from behind and lay him out with a kick to the dick and the Heat Seeker.

07:20MJF had a shirt on saying MJF did nothing wrong, and I think Wrestling Statement shirts

07:25in that specific font is my favorite wrestling trope.

07:28MJF said these hypocrites love it when Hangman burns things, well let's see how they feel

07:33when he does it.

07:35Max then proceeded to try and light Hangman on fire before being forcibly carried out

07:39by like 12 security guys.

07:41This feud is money.

07:43Every single aspect of it has been perfect.

07:46And my favorite bit is, I don't know which way their match is going on Sunday, but I

07:51I would bet that whichever of them loses, it'll be because their insecurities have

07:55cost them the match.

07:57Let's see how the story unfolds.

07:58We had an interview with Queen of the Ring director Alex Lehas, I mean Ash Avildsen,

08:03who I've learned is the son of the guy that directed the f***ing Rocky movies.

08:07That's pretty cool.

08:08Thank you, Sat.

08:09Fact check.

08:10I love you!

08:11I love you, Sat!

08:15He introduced Toni Storm, who set up her sit down interview with Rene Paquette for later

08:18in the evening.

08:19Then it was time for Chris Statlander and Thunder Rosa to take on Megan Bain and Penelope

08:23Ford.

08:24Bain's strength was once again on display as she yeeted Thunder Rosa out of the ring

08:28and then yeeted her partner onto the pile as well.

08:31Can we say yeeted with regards to an AEW show?

08:34Like-

08:35It's the correct term.

08:36But legally?

08:37It's the correct term.

08:38Okay.

08:39That's yeet.

08:40This, the hand up and down.

08:41That's not yeet.

08:42Yeet is when you throw someone.

08:43Yeet!

08:44That's yeeting.

08:45Teach them kids.

08:46Urban Dictionary!

08:47Don't go on Urban Dictionary if you're under 17.

08:55Bain wrestles like an absolute giant and carries herself with the stature and star power of

08:59a big time giant as well.

09:01At times I thought we were seeing early signs of dissension between Bain and Ford, but they

09:05would have to be very early signs as Bain managed to hit the F5 on Thunder Rosa for

09:09the win.

09:10We need more women's tags on Dynamite.

09:12This was a tremendously fun match with loads of heat and only continued to make Megan Bain

09:16seem like the star she's probably destined to be.

09:18Renee interviewed Mercedes Monet and Mercedes put over how good Momo Watanabe is and said

09:23on Collision, Serena Deeb would break Momo for her.

09:27Mercedes and Renee have become a great back and forth act, with Renee doing all of Mercedes'

09:32catchphrases for her.

09:33I love when specific wrestlers and interviewers have that special dynamic like that.

09:38Max Caster came out for his latest open challenge and was answered by Jay White, who actually

09:42necessitated you f***ed up chance towards Max.

09:46This is how you know this is a crowd you need to come back to.

09:49They were great all night, but in particular with this segment.

09:53Jay hit the Blade Runner immediately and got the pin in 12 seconds, putting the exclamation

09:57point on the breakup of the Bang Bang Scissor gang.

10:00We had the sit down interview with Mariah May, Tony Storm, and Renee Paquette, and within

10:04seconds Mariah spit in Tony's face.

10:07Everyone played their parts exceptionally well in this segment, but Renee was really

10:10the MVP for me.

10:11She brought a lot of realism to this otherwise very wacky story, and I always appreciate

10:16a direct approach from a third party towards a delusional heel.

10:19But while Mariah gave a very good and impassioned promo, Tony responded with almost apathy,

10:25saying Mariah doesn't deserve death, she deserves to spend the rest of her career dwindling

10:29in mediocrity.

10:31Renee said that she prays neither of them get hurt, and simultaneously they both said,

10:36pray for her.

10:37Very silly presentation, but that has been the gig, and bottom line is no one else could

10:41possibly deliver this material as well as Tony Storm, and even as a wrestling caricature,

10:46she made me incredibly invested in her words.

10:50And then it was time for All-Star Tag Match number 3, and our main event as Ricochet and

10:54Kazuchika Okada took on Swerve and Brody King.

10:57This is my kind of main event, Swerve and Okada stood across from each other, oh hell

11:03yeah!

11:04The two sets of rivals paired off to brawl with one another, and the Defy lads ran wild.

11:08Ricochet caught Swerve with a codebreaker, to then get the heat, and I gotta say hearing

11:12We Want Brody chants sure does my heart a lot of good.

11:16Sure enough, Brody got a great hot tag until he was cut off by a flurry of offense, which

11:21meant that Swerve could get the comeback he needed, hitting I think the craziest flatliner

11:25I've ever seen, and that might just be because of Ricochet's cell job.

11:29Brody and Okada had one last exchange where Okada brought the belt into the ring, only

11:34to get hit with the house call, which allowed Ricochet to grab the belt and knock Swerve

11:37out for the pin.

11:39A great main event to cap off another great episode of Dynamite.

11:42How you could have a match this good, with such action, while still leaving Okada and

11:47Swerve almost entirely untouched, I think speaks volume to the layout of the match,

11:52and the foresight to set up what could be one of the biggest matches AEW has up their

11:56sleeve.

11:57Lovely stuff, and I truly cannot wait until Revolution on Sunday.

11:59This episode of Dynamite gets a 4 out of 5.
