00:00WWE talent wants Stephanie McMahon back, WWE block Adam Copeland, Tempest review of AEW

00:07Dynamite and more. I'm Luke Owen and this is the WrestleTalk

00:10News, complete with wonderful moustaches. The last few years between WWE and Stephanie

00:22McMahon have been, well, pretty fraught. She left the company in 2022, shortly before the

00:27first sexual misconduct allegations came out against her father Vince McMahon, but was

00:32brought back and made the interim CEO when those allegations came out, and then co-CEO

00:37with Nick Khan when Vince retired. When Vince returned in January 2023, Stephanie stepped

00:43down again from her position and left the company.

00:46Following Vince being ousted earlier this year from TKO following a lawsuit filed by

00:50Janelle Grant that accused Vince of sex trafficking among other things, Stephanie made an unannounced

00:54return to WWE at WrestleMania 40, announced the 2024 draft picks and was in the crowd

01:00for this year's SummerSlam. It was at the SummerSlam post-show press conference that

01:04Triple H, her IRL husband and current head of creative for WWE, announced that she didn't

01:10have a position in WWE right now, but would welcome her return.

01:15Stephanie McMahon wasn't fully named in Janelle Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon,

01:19John Laurinaitis and WWE, but it came out that she, along with Nick Khan, were two of

01:23the unnamed executives in the lawsuit. But she is clearly liked backstage in WWE, as

01:29she has been credited for a lot of the push for women's wrestling back in the early

01:33black and gold era of NXT.

01:35And as fan discontent with the treatment WWE's women's division has got across 2024 grows

01:40online, WWE's own Cathy Kelly has said in an interview with Before The Bell, it's

01:45a little bit of a detriment that we don't have Stephanie McMahon there full time right

01:50now.

01:51She said, I love her so much. She is the reason I came back. We had multiple conversations

01:56before I came back and she is the one that really encouraged me to come back. It was

02:01her being at the helm, her and Triple H.

02:04Kelly returned in October 2022, shortly after the new Triple H regime took over.

02:09Would you like to see a Stephanie McMahon return? WWE are clearly unafraid of bringing

02:14back names that aren't directly named in the Vince lawsuit as Triple H has spoken publicly

02:20about a Brock Lesnar return. So what would you do if Stephanie did come back and what

02:25would you have her do? Let me know in the comments down below.

02:28Someone who probably won't be back in WWE anytime soon is Adam Copeland, who is also

02:33awaiting an AEW return following his injury he suffered at Double or Nothing. However

02:37when he does come back, he will have to remain under the name Adam Copeland, as WWE have

02:43filed for the trademark Edge for wrestling exhibitions and performances by professional

02:48wrestler and entertainer. This is less of a tease that Copeland will be heading back

02:53to WWE soon, but more WWE protecting their IP and ensuring that Copeland cannot use the

02:59name outside of their four walls. Something they clearly care about, as it was revealed

03:03recently that AEW have been able to use the old ECW trademark November to Remember when

03:09promoting Full Gear, which many thought would be under WWE's umbrella when they purchased

03:14ECW in 2001. But it turns out WWE didn't re-up their trademark on it. Fightful Select

03:21write, WWE let the trademark lapse at some point. They acquired the IP, but if they let

03:26it lapse and don't challenge it, there's not much they can do. They didn't have much

03:29use for it for a decade or two.

03:32Before we get into the AEW Dynamite review from The Wonderful Tempest standing over there,

03:36a small correction from our last Mustache Break as we shouted out the wrong names. So

03:41it should have been Dan, Gilberto Vasquez, Julian Bond, Ruben George and Aaron Wax. Sorry

03:47about that, but thank you very much for your donations and we hope you enjoyed your Mustache

03:51Break. So with that said, let's get to our next Mustache Break featuring Brodie Halter,

03:57Danny Button, Ian McComish, Mark Salmik and Steve Ortiz. Hit it!

04:26And now I'm going to hot tag to The Wonderful Tempest for his review of AEW Dynamite. Ready

04:30for it? Hot tag! Careful.

04:34Hello I'm Tempest and my hips are not flexible enough to have done that. This is my review

04:38of AEW Dynamite in about 5 minutes.

04:40We opened the show with an abridged version of the November Reign video package and then

04:45went right into the All Star 8-Man tag as Will Ospreay, Ricochet, Mark Davis and Powerhouse

04:50Hobbs took on the Don Callis family.

04:53Action started right away as both teams brawled in the entranceway, and after a few dives

04:57the family took out Hobbs by throwing Ospreay into the stairs while Hobbs' knee was trapped.

05:02Will Ospreay's hot tag was about the most vicious you've ever seen high-flying offense

05:06performed, but Ospreay getting launched into a blue thunder bomb by Archer and Cage was

05:11maybe the biggest highlight of the match.

05:13Hobbs returned and made a tremendous comeback hitting the Forever Meat clotheslines before

05:17everyone hit a parade of signature moves, culminating in Ospreay accidentally hitting

05:22Davis with the hidden blade.

05:24That will definitely not come back to haunt Will at full gear.

05:29Definitely not.

05:30Takeshita got the pin on Davis after a Wagamama knee to cap off a great opener.

05:34Jon Moxley informed Orange Cassidy that his mind may make it to full gear, but his body

05:39will not.

05:40And Claudio shouted down Darby Allin in one of the five languages he knows, and then they

05:44cut away to Darby who said that each of the Death Riders will have their day, and today

05:49is Rusev Day.

05:50I mean, it's Claudio's day.

05:53MVP arrived with the Hurt Syndicate and announced that Bobby Lashley would be in action tonight.

05:58This did come after AEW had already announced this during the opener, but they treated it

06:03as if this was the first we'd heard of it.

06:05Anyway, Swerve hit Bobby with a chain and ran off.

06:08Adam Cole came out for a promo and said that he and Roddy have the same goals, but he was

06:12quickly interrupted by Kyle O'Reilly, who told Cole to drop the vendetta against MJF

06:17before someone gets hurt.

06:19This was a really weird segment that was extremely flat.

06:23I mean, there really wasn't a resolution to it, and this storyline has been particularly

06:27cold as of late.

06:29Certainly didn't make me more interested in seeing Roddy and MJF this weekend, but

06:33more on that later.

06:34Orange Cassidy got very worked up telling the conglomeration not to accompany him tonight,

06:38and then we got Hikaru Shida vs. Chris Statlander.

06:41This began with a show of respect, but Shida quickly threw Chris Stat into the barricades

06:45again and again and again and again.

06:48This was a very competitive match, and they are telling the story that Shida is lacking

06:51confidence in her Katana finishing move, and honestly, that's more of a storyline than

06:56Shida's had to work with in my recent memory.

06:58Chris Stat got the win with the Statlander, and then Mercedes came out to trash talk the

07:0276ers, which I can fully endorse, and support the Boston Celtics.

07:05Never mind, she's lost me.

07:07Mercedes sent Camille, who still is in a sling, to fight Shida and Statlander, further teasing

07:12the dissension between the two, but really it just led to two babyfaces beating up one

07:17injured heel, which I don't think was the desired result.

07:20Thankfully, Mercedes tried to junk Chris Stat and got the Tombstone for her trouble, and

07:24the fans did seem into that bit.

07:27Fun match, Chris and Shida are both fantastic, and I have no doubt this match at Full Gear

07:31will deliver as well.

07:32MVP and Sheldon Benjamin beat up a guy in a fur coat thinking he was Swerve, and then

07:36Bobby Lashley made his debut against Joe Keyes and ROH Legend Cheeseburger.

07:42The two of them argued over who would have to start, and so Bobby just beat them both

07:46up at once.

07:47The people love Cheeseburger because they have taste, but Bobby turned him into a smash

07:51burger and beat them both with ease.

07:53I guess Bobby was taking out the pent up aggression he has because WWE didn't let him run that

07:58storyline where he would get fat.

08:00That's a real thing, look it up.

08:01But then Swerve jumped Bobby again, and the people were very into Swerve, which is encouraging

08:06after the Bridgeport debacle.

08:07This was definitely a bounce back angle, and made this feud feel hot going into Full Gear.

08:12Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa hyped up their championship celebration, and then they shook

08:17their breasts.

08:18Mariah did cut a solid promo here for what it's worth.

08:20Darby Allin and Claudio Castagnoli was up next, and I don't know if there is a single

08:24wrestling equation that has a better batting average than Darby Allin vs. Very Strong Man

08:30Who Throws Him Ass Over Tea Kettle.

08:31Claudio threw Darby all over ringside, and then carried Darby up the steps in a vertical

08:36suplex position, because Claudio is actually not a human being.

08:40Gut wrench superplexes and giant swings into the steps later, and Darby was getting thrown

08:44off the announce table and landing on the timekeeper's table, and Darby wrapped himself

08:49up in a lovely little blanket and took a much needed nap.

08:51The relatable wrestler that we all need.

08:53It wouldn't last long though, as he had to break the count, but Claudio immediately

08:57hit a huge lariat for the win.

08:59It's very nice to see Claudio getting such a dominant win, and even nicer to see it come

09:03in such a fantastic match.

09:05Private Party say they are going to win on Saturday, and then they are interrupted by

09:09the Costco guys, who say they have an announcement.

09:11MJF then cut a pre-taped promo from the back of a run down building, and talked about the

09:16trauma Roddy feels from having watched his mother shoot his father, and the positive

09:20feelings Roddy must get from Cole to keep doing so much for him, and closed by saying

09:25after Full Gear, Roddy will wish that he was shot by his mother instead.

09:29The Costco guys cut a promo on KT Marshall, and I mean, this guy is a proper worker.

09:33I don't know what the fuck chocolate chunk cookies have to do with anything, but I believe

09:37it when he says he cares about it.

09:39They say the Rizzler is going to be there, and I'm only just now learning that the Rizzler

09:43is a child, and not a cool Gen Z Batman villain.

09:46Roddy Strong came out for a live promo, and said that MJF shouldn't feel sorry for him,

09:50because he feels sorry for MJF.

09:52This was a very earnest babyface promo, and again, the crowd really weren't that interested

09:58in it.

09:59To me, this still reflects on the lack of overall excitement surrounding this feud in

10:02general.

10:03Hopefully that changes with MJF actually in the building starting this weekend, but this

10:07has been a trend for quite a while now.

10:09Daniel Garcia and Daddy Magic showed the Reservoir Dogs footage of them and Jack Perry from Collision,

10:14and Danny said Jack doesn't know what he's had to sacrifice to get here.

10:17Jack spat in his face, and Danny produced a crowbar and hit Jack's bus a few times.

10:22I thought the point of the bus was that it already looked dilapidated.

10:26What are a few dents in a busted headlight going to do?

10:29Even Jack was like, that's it?

10:30And that's how I felt.

10:31That's not how I'm supposed to feel.

10:33Then Chris Jericho and Tomohiro Ishii engaged in the longest and slowest chase scene since

10:38the entirety of The Last Jedi, as Jericho neglected to sign the contract for their match,

10:43and then they walked all the way to the ring, with Jericho placing a trash can in front

10:47of him.

10:48Placing a stage hand in front of him.

10:50Putting a doctor- it was a very good segment.

10:52This was probably the most absurd thing I've seen in wrestling this year, and possibly

10:57the most entertaining.

10:58Jericho said he doesn't have a pen, and then Ishii gave him a pen.

11:01Jericho signed it, and then the Learning Tree brawled with the conglomeration with

11:04the babyfaces standing tall.

11:06Then we had Jamie Hayter interview backstage, where she wondered why Julia Hart felt the

11:09need to interrupt her last week, at which point she was once again interrupted by Julia

11:13Hart, who is an archer now.

11:15Again, a very cool vignette showing Julia killing the weaker versions of herself.

11:19You may have noticed something by this point, and if not, I will point it out now.

11:24This was the SEVENTH non-match segment in a row, and I was beyond restless by this point,

11:31but now it's time to wrap up the show with the main event, between Orange Cassidy and

11:35Wheeler Uda.

11:36It was Uda who targeted Orange's neck, which is becoming a theme among the Death Riders,

11:40by hitting a brain buster on the barricade.

11:42Wheeler used many of Bryan Danielson's moves, with the hammer and anvil elbows, and the

11:47cattle mutilation, but when Wheeler tried to use a chair, Orange rolled him up for the

11:51win.

11:52The Death Riders all jumped Orange after the match, and duct-taped his hands in his pockets.

11:57Orange did his lazy kicks, and got knocked out for it.

12:00They left, Orange was cut free, put his hands in his pockets, and put on sunglasses as the

12:04show went off the air.

12:06Man I tell ya, this was a very hit and miss dynamite.

12:09Most of the matches themselves were hot, particularly the Darby and Claudio match and the opening

12:13eight man tag, but the crowd fell asleep in the second hour, and they closed with what

12:17I thought was a very weak ending to the show.

12:20The main event went probably 80-20 in Uda's favor, before Orange won with a flash rollup,

12:26and I don't know man, we were gonna struggle to believe that Orange was winning the title

12:30this weekend as it is, but if he's struggling to even beat Wheeler, I don't know how I'm

12:35meant to believe he's going to beat Jon Moxley even slightly.

12:39This dynamite gets a 3 out of 5.

12:41And now before we get out of here, make sure you check out Oli's breakdown of Secret Wrestling
