• AEW Star Suffers Injury Ahead of All Out PPV Match
On this week’s AEW Dynamite: September To Remember special episode, Adam Copeland & Christian Cage and FTR, accompanied by Stokely Hathaway, came to the ring for a heated promo. FTR declared that their upcoming clash was no longer a dream match and promised to destroy Cope and Cage once and for all.
Copeland acknowledged FTR as one of the best teams of their generation, but reminded them that he and Cage revolutionized Tag Team wrestling to the point that an entire pay-per-view is named after them. Cage arrogantly stated he didn’t care about any fines because he was rich, sparking a wild brawl that ended with Harwood’s nose busted open.
Dax Harwood revealed in a post on X that he has a broken nose following yesterday’s brawl. He said he will not be missing All Out, despite the injury.
“I had an X-Ray today. To the shock of no one, I have a severely broken nose.

Unfortunately for Christian & Copeland, I’ll still be there. No way I’m missing out on this match. I’m going to embarrass you.

AEW All Out will feature the clash of both Tag Teams this Saturday afternoon in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This match is scheduled to kick off the main PPV show at 3 PM ET.
• Raja Jackson Arrested Following Assault On Syko Stu
At a recent indy wrestling show in Los Angeles, Raja Jackson, the 25-year-old son of UFC legend Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, shocked everyone when a planned segment turned into a real-life attack.
During a match at KnokX Pro Academy, Raja entered the ring and slammed wrestler Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith before unleashing over 20 punches on him. What seemed like part of the show quickly turned into a disturbing scene, forcing other wrestlers to pull Raja away.
Police was called to the venue, and the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that they were investigating the incident as a criminal matter. Syko Stu was hospitalized with serious injuries due to the attack, but has recovered now.
TMZ is reporting that Raja Jackson has now been arrested on felony charges. His bond has been set at $50,000.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Raja’s father stated that his son should do some time behind the bars as it would be a good lesson for him.

• AEW Star Reacts To John Cena’s Tribute To Him On SmackDown
John Cena made his final SmackDown appearance in Chicago earlier this month. He wrestled United States Champion Sami Zayn there. During the match, the 17-time World Champion paid tribute to a lot of his opponents from the past.
One of the names Cena referenced was Edge (Adam Copeland aka Cope in AEW), hitting a Spear on Zayn in the style of The Rated-R Superstar.
In an interview with The Score, Copeland reacted to Cena’s tribute and talked about their memorable rivalry.
Here’s what he said:
“I saw a clip where he did the whole set up and everything. It’s super fun. For John and I, we’re two guys that met each other at the right time. He needed a bad guy. I needed a good guy. It just clicked. You never know when something is going to click. With John and I, from day one, it just clicked.
Our characters were polar opposites. I knew what the assignment was, and so did he. You had two guys who were very willing to do what we had to do to get us both over.
John was very well on his way, but I feel like our angle is what really put the stamp on him being the top guy, and it put the stamp on me being the main event guy.
I’ll always look back on that fondly and what we were able to do and the fun we had.”
John Cena had many memorable matches and moments with Edge during their rivalry in the mid to late 2000s.
