⭐ Bowens Talks About Transition to Singles Wrestling

“”There was a lot of different moving parts that we didn’t foresee happening, and it altered a lot of other things, which led to where we are today…But there’s a lot of unfinished business,” Bowens said.

Later in the interview, the former AEW World Tag Team and World Trios Champion added, “I’ve been proving it…I’ve been a successful and big part of this company since its inception…I’m a part of building the foundation of this company. I’m a star. I’m the face of this company…I hope that people can see my journey and see what I’ve done and what I’ve accomplished and go, I can do that too.”

A week ago, Bowens released a video on Instagram, where he called himself a former and “gullible” performer, who did all that he could to represent the community, specifically, the fans. He went on to say in his monologue that the ultimate betrayals he faced at the hands of Max Caster, Billy Gunn, and Jay White eventually taught him that nice guys finish last, and that only bad guys prevail and get rewarded for those said efforts. Therefore, that’s why he joined The Opps. He looks forward to unleashing all this pent up frustration he’s held on to for so long, hoping to become a “hero and a champion” that AEW fans can be proud of.”

⭐ Bully Ray On Where The New Day Should Land

“In the event that The New Day sign with All Elite Wrestling, Ray emphasized the importance of the company making the most of it, especially considering the large financial investment involved. How exactly would AEW do that?

According to Ray, dedicating significant television time to The New Day would certainly put AEW on the right path. A larger focus on the division’s core teams would too.

“In investing in The New Day, you have to invest in your entire tag team division and you have to make the tag team division a focal point of the company,” Ray said. “I know what’s going on with FTR and Edge and Christian … Now you have Edge and Christian, you have your legendary team. Now you have FTR, your AEW tag team. Your synonymous with AEW tag team. Now you have the New Day, your heavy hitters coming from another company. Oh, by the way, you have the Young Bucks, who helped build the place. Now that’s four tag teams right there. Those are four heavy hitter tag teams. You better be ready to invest some time on your weekly show into your tag team division.”

As it stands, FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) reign as the AEW World Tag Team Champions, though Adam “Edge” Copeland and Christian Cage remain hot on their tails. At Double or Nothing, Copeland and Cage will challenge FTR for the tag titles in an “I Quit” match. If Copeland and Cage lose, though, they must permanently retire as a tag team. New Day faced FTR on a number of occasions during their respective stint in WWE.

Meanwhile, The Young Bucks, despite not holding AEW tag gold since 2024, remain regular fixtures in the company. Interestingly, Woods’ last TNA match prior to his 2010 WWE arrival pitted him against The Young Bucks in tag team competition. At that time, fans knew Woods as Consequences Creed and The Young Bucks as Generation Me.”

⭐ Eddie Kingston Talks About CM Punk

“Kingston then took it a step further, suggesting that if they were ever in the same place again, it wouldn’t stay calm for long, claiming cops would need to be involved.

“If we’re in the same company together, we’re probably going to run into each other or whatever. You’ve got to put cops in front of us. That’s it.”

And in one of the more intense moments of the interview, Kingston openly talked about how much he enjoyed seeing Punk bleed during that fight — and what he said to him in that moment.

“Whatever—I fought him, it wasn’t even a match. He did bleed, bro. I enjoyed the f*** out of that when he started bleeding. I told him—I whispered in his ear—I said, ‘Let me taste—if you let me taste if there’s any p***y in your f****** blood.’ That shows you how much I like him.”

Kingston isn’t trying to protect the image of that feud or soften how it came across. If anything, he’s reinforcing that what fans saw wasn’t just good storytelling — it was rooted in something real.

In the end, years later, nothing about Eddie Kingston’s stance has changed. The feud with CM Punk wasn’t just business to him, and based on how he’s still talking about it, it never will be.”

⭐ Tony Kahn Accused of Online Bot Attacks on Former AEW Talent

“The claims didn’t stop at just identifying a pattern. [Nick] LoPiccolo [of Bodyslam.net’s popcast with Famous Davis’ went further, arguing that these alleged campaigns can have real consequences for the talent involved, especially when it comes to mental health.

“For the women… it is really, really hurtful… for the men too… it causes psychological damage… but it’s on-going.”

Despite the severity of the accusation, LoPiccolo made it clear he isn’t backing down or worried about potential fallout. He addressed the possibility of legal action directly and doubled down on his stance.

“I’m not worried about being sued… if there’s discovery… there’s no way they would sue me… because I’m right.”

At the center of all this is a claim that cuts right to the core of the wrestling industry’s ongoing AEW vs. WWE tension — that talent who leave one side are being targeted in a deliberate way once they cross over.

That claim lines up with what fans have already seen play out online. Both Jade Cargill and Blake Monroe were very vocal on social media after joining WWE, and both were quickly met with waves of backlash from accounts pushing anti-WWE narratives, adding fuel to the idea that these reactions may not be entirely organic.”
