00:00A WWE legend thinks Jey Uso is being held down, CM Punk wants an AJ Lee return, was

00:06Joe Hendry buried and more. I'm Luke Owen and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:17While the Triple H era of WWE has been a major upgrade over the previous era, one of its

00:22crowning achievements did come from that previous era. The Bloodline formed as a group during

00:26the Thunderdome times of WWE, and have been a dominant and featured force on Raw and Smackdown

00:31ever since. They've headlined PPVs, main-evented WrestleManias, and its Tribal Chief Roman

00:36Reigns was WWE Champion for over 1,000 days. Well, that's if you truly believe that Roman

00:41is the Tribal Chief, I think that's currently up for debate.

00:44Not only that, but Jimmy and Jey Uso also had success, holding the tag titles for over

00:49300 days. The Rock returned to WWE, turned heel and joined the group. And since Roman

00:54left our screens following WrestleMania, Solo Sakoa has become Smackdown's top heel

00:58with a new Bloodline around him, featuring Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu, Tonga Loa and Tonga

01:03Loa's botched spots.

01:04The Bloodline has been the most talked about story, faction and angle in WWE for years,

01:10and the fan speculation is that we might see Roman return at Summerslam, which will lead

01:15to his original Bloodline reuniting to take on Bloodline 2000 in WarGames come November.

01:20But all of that isn't quite enough for one member of the Bloodline family tree. Rikishi,

01:26the father of The Usos and Solo Sakoa, has been very vocal over the last few months about

01:30a perceived lack of push for Jey Uso.

01:33Jey has been one of the more overactive of 2024, with his Yeet merchandise selling very

01:38well at live events and on WWEShop.com, but he hasn't had a proper storyline since he

01:43beat his brother at WrestleMania, a match that he himself admits was a disappointment.

01:48He fought Damian Priest over the World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash, but that's about

01:52it. He's only wrestled 10 times on Raw since WrestleMania, two of which were King of the

01:57Ring tournament matches.

01:58And now Rikishi has spoken out again against WWE and their treatment of Jey Uso, feeling

02:03that he's being held down. He said on his Off The Top podcast,

02:07They're not doing a damn thing with Yeet. My opinions, why? Why do you not push or give

02:12the most popular babyface, in my eyes, be it my son or not, if the Yeet Master or Yeet

02:17Man is over, why? How come? What is the problem? Not giving this guy some type of title. Something.

02:23Win something. It'd only be good for business, wouldn't it?

02:27Rikishi argues that Jey Uso is over, he's selling merchandise, he's pushing ticket

02:32sales but WWE are not capitalising on that momentum that Jey Uso worked for. In particular,

02:39Rikishi feels like he shouldn't have been left off the Summerslam card, and is quite

02:42insulted by the most recent developments where he's been flirting with Rhea Ripley.

02:46That's the best those writers got? Let's write this guy into a relationship with mummy?

02:51What are y'all trying to do, break his marriage up? Y'all can't put him in a good storyline,

02:55so what are you going to do now? God forbid you guys try to sell tongue kiss each other

02:59on Raw. S***, that better not happen.

03:02What do you make of Rikishi's comments? Do you think that WWE are not doing enough

03:06with Jey Uso? Let me know in the comments down below.

03:09And while you're checking out the comments, why not check out this clip from this past

03:12weekend's Who Really Killed The Original NXT?

03:18The following month Barrett got his prize for winning the first season of NXT, a shot

03:22at any title he wanted, and he cashed that in for Night of Champions 2010 against WWE

03:27Champion Sheamus… in a match that had 4 other guys. He did not win.

03:32Caval, for the record, cashed in his title shot opportunity on the Intercontinental Championship

03:36at that year's Survivor Series. He lost, and then was released one month later.

03:42Someone who did make it onto the SummerSlam card is one CM Punk, who announced on this

03:46past episode of Raw that he's now officially medically cleared and will be facing Drew

03:50McIntyre with Shawn Michaels, I mean Seth Rollins, as the special guest referee. Of

03:54course CM Punk gets to be the Bret Hart in this storyline.

03:57After a rather, shall we say, tumultuous time in AEW, CM Punk in his WWE return has been

04:04a different story. And one of the big positive reports to come out about Punk since his return

04:08has been his spending time down in NXT, particularly with Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez, and the

04:14current NXT Women's Champion has spoken about working with Punk and how they both

04:18want to see a certain someone return to WWE. Perez told Pro Wrestling Illustrated that

04:24wrestling AJ Lee, CM Punk's IRL wife, would be a dream match, and that she's doing all

04:30she can to convince her to get back in the ring. And so is CM Punk.

04:35She said,

04:36"...Punk tells me that he's doing the same thing. He's trying to get her to, like,

04:39come back, pulling her in. But I hope one day she decides to come back and have a match

04:43with me."

04:44Would you like to see AJ Lee return to WWE? Maybe have a run down in NXT? Let me know

04:48in the comments down below.

04:50And if she does come back, there will be some new faces for her to… face, as Fightful

04:54Select are reporting that WWE have signed a deal with another free agent.

04:592024 has seen WWE pick up Julia and Stephanie Baker, the latter of which had an offer from

05:04AEW that she turned down in favour of WWE.

05:08And now Corey Brennan of Fightful is reporting that Australian wrestler Delta has signed

05:12a deal with WWE.

05:14Delta got attention from the company during her tryout ahead of Elimination Chamber, which

05:17was held in Perth this year, but oddly feels like years ago, and Brennan reports that she

05:22has been given the all clear to finish up her Australian dates before moving to the

05:26US to work with WWE full time. But, um, Stephanie Baker had to pull out of her New Japan and

05:32Repro dates, huh?

05:34Brennan adds that Delta is scheduled to head to the US next month, and while there is no

05:38time frame on her WWE debut, she will report to NXT along with Baker and Julia.

05:43What's been really cool about this news on Twitter and stuff like that is that a lot

05:47of people are now looking to find out more about Delta, and get an idea of what she's

05:51like before she debuts. To be honest, I don't know all that much about her. The only Australian

05:56wrestler I really know is Simone Williams, and that's because she was on The Traitors.

06:00So if you do have any recommendations for Delta matches, let everyone know in the comments.

06:05But while Delta is making moves to the US, All Elite Wrestling is looking to stay exactly

06:10where it is.

06:12The ongoing talks between AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery have been a big talking point for

06:16a lot of 2024, especially if you're a wrestling star of the 1990s looking to stay relevant

06:21in 2024 by talking about it on a podcast hoping to get headlines on websites and aggregation

06:26on Twitter.

06:27But while WWE sewed up all of their TV deals late last year and early this year, Smackdown

06:31to USA, NXT to CW, Raw to Netflix, AEW are yet to announce their TV deal. Tony Khan has

06:38spoken about being approached by other networks, but he wants to remain loyal to WBD as they've

06:43had such a good relationship over the last five years. But that negotiation period is

06:48almost up.

06:50So what's the latest?

06:52Fans noticed over the weekend that AEW's content library started appearing on Mac's

06:56Warner Bros. Discovery streaming platform, which looked to be a positive sign between

06:59the two parties. And that, well a new deal announcement must be imminent, right? Fightful

07:04Select are reporting that an announcement won't be imminent as the deal is expected

07:08but not done. Sean Ross Sapp reports that the framework of a deal is in place, it just

07:13hasn't been agreed to by both parties. He writes both AEW and WBD expect a new deal

07:19to be reached and the relationship to continue and say things continue to be amicable. SRS

07:24adds that Tony Khan and WBD's David Zaslav are scheduled for a meeting in Paris during

07:29the Olympics, but that is not a guarantee a deal will be signed there. Fightful add

07:34that WBD offered a deal to AEW a few months ago, but AEW didn't agree to it so they're

07:40still negotiating.

07:41Someone who won't be around for that new deal should one get signed is Frankie Kazarian,

07:45who was one of the first people to sign with All Elite Wrestling back in 2019. He signed

07:50as part of the group SCU with Christopher Daniels and Scorpio Sky. The group were a

07:53heavily pushed act in the early days of Dynamite, with Sky and Kazarian winning the tag titles

07:58and Sky pinning Chris Jericho on TV to set up a world title match. However the group

08:02was split up in 2021 when they ran an angle that if they lost to The Young Bucks, Kazarian

08:06and Daniels wouldn't team up again. By this point, Sky had turned heel and split away

08:10from the group and started tagging with Ethan Page. SCU lost that match to The Bucks and

08:14Kazarian would leave AEW in 2023 to rejoin TNA where he wrestled a lot in the 2000s and

08:212010s.

08:22And now, Kazarian has taken a shot at his former employer, responding to a fan on Twitter

08:26who said that AEW dropped the ball with SCU saying, should have never been broken up,

08:32along with a gif of Chris Jericho saying that it was, a stupid idea from bad creative.

08:36Kazarian has had more success since his return to TNA, even appearing on NXT in their Battle

08:41Royal to crown a new number one contender where he eliminated Joe Hendry. And last night's

08:45NXT saw a video appearance from Hendry because someone must have said his name. But he did

08:50not have the TNA World Championship with him. In what could be argued as the most TNA thing

08:55possible, TNA looked at one of the hottest acts in all of professional wrestling and

09:00decided to put their world title on Dolph Ziggler, the ex-WWE guy. I absolutely adore

09:06you TNA.

09:08Dolph Ziggler, who now wrestles under his real name Nick Nemeth, has defended that choice

09:11on Busted Open Radio, saying that The Lost did not bury Joe Hendry. He said, a lot of

09:16people going, Joe Hendry got buried. The least thing you could ever say about anyone in that

09:21match was someone got buried. What an amazing moment. We set up a bunch of stories for a

09:26bunch of people. Joe Hendry is coming for the world title.

09:30Nemeth argues that putting the title on Hendry might have got more views on YouTube, but

09:34he wants to work with him now to make sure that he'll be ready to be the top guy when

09:39TNA does pull the trigger.
