⭐ Bowens Talks About Transition to Singles Wrestling

Credit: Battleground Podcast and transcript by Wrestling Inc.

“”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

Credit: Ringside News

“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.”

🟧 AEW COLLISION: FAIRWAY TO HELL — MAY 9, 2026

📍 One‑hour special edition This show was short, sharp, and loaded with storyline movement.

đŸ”„ MATCH 1 — Title change!

Mark Davis defeated Jack Perry for the AEW National Championship. Ricochet and Don Callis were involved in the match. Davis was announced as a member of Ricochet’s team and Perry, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega would join Jericho’s team for their Stadium Standpede match.

Ed: “Fans, that title reign was quicker than a hiccup!”

Divine Dominion retained the titles against Ruthie Slay and Rachel Lay.

Gordon: “A most impressive showing — momentum firmly in the champions’ corner.”

đŸ”„ MATCH 3 — Mike Bailey defeated Kiran Grey

Bailey with a little win streak going on.

Thekla will defend the AEW Women’s World Championship at Double or Nothing in a four way match against Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida and Jaime Hayter.

đŸ”„ MAIN EVENT — World Title Match

Darby Allin defeated PAC despite outside interference by The Death Riders. There were no countouts in this match so it got wild. Marina Shafir almost cost Allin the title but after a low blow, a shot with the title belt and a Coffin Drop he retained.

Ed: “Fans, that’s as personal as it gets!”

Gordon: “A most combustible situation — and one that cannot be contained much longer.”

đŸŽ™ïž DESK OUTRO

Ed: “Fans, AEW is charging toward Double or Nothing with a full head of steam! Collision brought the fire, Dynamite brought the chaos, and the roster is fighting like every match could change the landscape!”

📰 MLW NEWS & RUMORS

✔ Doc Gallows talks about Festus

Credit: WrestleZone

““I looked into it to make sure that I was safe. And I talked to my trademark lawyer about it, so we’re in the process of that now, just in case. But I hadn’t thought about that in a long time,” Gallows explained. “Machine Gun and I have been going everywhere. [And at] all of these shows and meet and greets and conventions that you do, we were shocked by the amount of people who would ask about Festus.

“Because I didn’t think there was a huge demand to see Festus. I kinda put him—he goes in a certain gimmick category, if you will, without bringing up any other names. But the interest really, really seemed to be there.””

✔ Brick Savage signs multi year deal.

Credit: f4online.com

“The 37-year-old Brick Savage was recently seen defeating Mad Dog Connelly at GCW Effy’s Big Gay Brunch 11 on April 18, 2026. At the WWE WrestleMania 42 weekend, he also wrestled in the Clusterf**k match at GCW Joey Janela’s Spring Break. A regular name on the indies, he has also frequently wrestled for promotions such as Revolver, MPX, New Texas Pro, and many more. He is also currently the Mat War Pro Super Openweight Champion.”

✔ Krule releases statement on Berwyn confrontation

Credit: WrestlingHeadlines.com

““Two weeks ago, I prepared a statement to address this situation. Once I had handled some business that needed to be addressed before releasing, I read what I had written. In doing so I felt how disingenuous my original written statement was. Thus, I decided to stop, reassess, and be more open to the public. I am speaking to all of you now not as a character, but as myself.

“During the event, there was an altercation with a fan, whom I had had several incidents with throughout the night, including physically shoving myself during my entrance and another fan who was trying to purchase merchandise after the show. In this moment, I reacted and threw a punch. During that incident, I sustained an injury to my side that once I had returned to the locker room was discovered by staff at Berwyn. I do not know how this injury occurred, only that it occurred during the incident. Staff and wrestlers helped bandage me and tend to the wound. I left and was taken to take a shower and driven to the airport, as I had an early flight the next morning for another booking. I awoke in the airport to calls from my family in tears, “Did you get stabbed?” I had no idea what was happening, then I saw that story had been put out on social media. To be absolutely clear, I never wanted nor asked that this story be represented as fact nor made public. I was contacted by law enforcement, and I fully cooperated with that process. I was asked if I wanted to pursue an investigation | declined. I told the detective I did not believe I was stabbed, but I had probably fallen on something during the altercation.

“I regret not addressing this immediately and allowing misinformation and assumptions to circulate without clarification. I apologize for not negating the claim to the public. I pride myself in blurring the lines of reality, but I understand this was not one those times.

“Now comes the part of all of this I have struggled with most, throwing a punch. I have been angry, remorseful, and every emotion in-between. However, it finally hit me like a brick wall, I was in the wrong. Regardless of the situation and the things that occurred, it was my job to be a professional. In hindsight, many decisions made differently could have changed the situation’s outcome. I could have addressed the situation to management when I knew he was a problem. I could have made the decision not to go sell merch after the show to avoid potential conflict. I could have been a professional and I failed. Thus, I accept full responsibility for everything that occurred. I failed as professional. I have always taken pride in being professional and being a team player with every person I have worked for in my career. I failed and made a bad decision.

“To the wrestlers, fans, and promotions that have been affected by the aftermath of the situation and my bad decision, no words can change what has been done but I do apologize. I have spent more time over these last few weeks hurting emotionally because I hurt each and every one of you. I am sorry. Majority of you don’t know me, the person, only as what I portray as a character, but this incident is not a reflection of who 1 am. I care about professional wrestling more than I’ve shown through this situation. I will reflect that going forward.””

✔ Chattanooga Debut is Tonight

Stardom World touring pattern

  • Spring typically features unit‑based tours—Queen’s Quest, Oedo Tai, God’s Eye, STARS, and Donna del Mondo cycling through Korakuen, Osaka, and regional buildings.
  • Cards on Stardom World usually center on:
    • Artist of Stardom (trios) defenses or teases
    • Goddess (tag) and Wonder/World title build
    • Faction‑vs‑faction multi‑woman tags that set up singles challenges.

Current‑style directions

  • World & Wonder title scenes: the top two singles belts remain the axis—champions working tags and non‑title matches while challengers are built through tournament blocks or pinning them in tags.
  • Unit tension: Stardom continues to lean on betrayals, draft‑style reshuffles, and “loser leaves unit” stakes to keep factions fresh.

Ed: “Fans, Stardom’s running like a finely tuned machine—factions, titles, and just enough chaos to keep you guessing!”

Gordon: “A most intricate ecosystem—alliances and rivalries constantly in flux.”

đŸŸ© Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw)

General landscape since late April

  • wXw’s spring schedule usually revolves around post‑16 Carat Gold fallout and build toward summer events like Shortcut to the Top.
  • Recent shows on wXwNOW tend to feature:
    • Ambition‑style shooters and strong‑style imports
    • Tag title programs with European teams and visiting talent
    • A strong focus on the academy graduates in openers and midcard.
