Below are a couple of top AEW & WWE news stories of the day.
• On last week’s episode of AEW Collision, a vignette featured a man jumping through a portal, revealing a masked figure with the words “loading soon” flashing on the screen.
Fans speculated it could be Ricochet or a returning Sammy Guevara. However, AEW CEO Tony Khan addressed the speculation and said that this wrestler isn’t a big free agent name or anything like that. The identity of the masked figure has now been revealed.
Bodyslam reports that the masked figure is former AAA wrestler Aramis, who will debut with a new name and persona, potentially resembling a Hacker. Aramis became a free agent after failing to reach a new deal with AAA. Lucha libre insider Luchablog confirmed Aramis as the man under the mask.
Aramis is a 14-year wrestling veteran, having debuted in 2010. Primarily working in Mexico with AAA, he has also appeared in the United States for PWG, MLW, and GCW, and has won championships in Warrior Wrestling and other lucha libre promotions. In AAA, he was part of the Los Jinetes del Aire stable with Laredo Kid and former Mega Champion El Hijo del Vikingo.

• On the debut episode of ‘What Do You Want To Talk About?’, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes asked WWE Women’s Champion Bayley if she wants Evolution 2 (all-women’s PLE).
Here’s what Bayley said:
“Yes. Why not? Like we were just saying, there’s so many women. The thing about the first one was we had so many girls from NXT, which they got to showcase on a bigger stage, but they had so many women from the past, it’s kind of like the first few Rumbles, they had a lot of women from the past because we didn’t have enough women to fill up these matches, but now we do.
I think it would be so cool to give everybody on RAW and SmackDown a part of that show, Evolution 2. You can bring girls in from NXT. We just saw Jordynne Grace on NXT, TNA girls, whatever that connection is there, we can bring different girls and you can bring someone in from the past if they’re up for it to do a little something but we have such a stacked roster right now where it’s like, we can hold down a show on our own, another PLE on our own.
It’s been so many years, it’s not like it’s something to do every year where we’re like, alright, we’ve seen it enough times. I think it’s time because it is a different era compared to back then.”
The first ever all-women’s PPV, WWE Evolution, took place on October 28, 2018. In the main event, Ronda Rousey defeated Nikki Bella to retain the RAW Women’s Championship. In the co-main event, Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing match to retain the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
