Below are some top WWE & AEW news stories:
• WWE SmackDown wrestler “Michin” Mia Yim shared the following story on Twitter:
“Sketchy Uber Eats delivery guy just tried to get inside my house. Hey Shayna Baszler, thanks for influencing me to keep certain items in all rooms.”
Shayna Baszler is a former UFC fighter and has noted in interviews that she keeps weapons with herself, in case of an emergency.
• AEW President Tony Khan books everything on All Elite Wrestling programming. For a long time, Khan had stuff planned out months in advance, but that’s not the case these days.
According to the Wrestling Observer, AEW wrestlers are frustrated with how late Khan provides them with their booking plans:
“So much of the stuff is if you follow AEW, a lot of the stuff is being decided at much later periods than previous. Guys are getting their information on what they’re doing later and decisions are being made later. So that’s just how it is.
I mean, there’s time on the day of the show when you don’t even know. It’s almost like we talk about WWE, which is also very frustrating for talent. It’s like a lot of the guys have a lot of input on what they’re doing. So they’re doing stuff, but they don’t really know a long-term direction.
So they’re doing stuff, and they’re coming up with ideas. But when you don’t really know exactly the long-term direction, then you’re kind of like coming up with ideas week by week, too, but you don’t know where the ultimate thing is. And maybe the ultimate thing hasn’t even been decided. So that’s one of the reasons that the shows are like the shows last week.”
• According to Fightful Select, there have been discussions in AEW to bring Rebel back on TV.
