00:00WWE released several ID names, and they might be saying sorry for Becky Lynch's Ozzy Osbourne
00:06comments from Raw, my review of NXT and more. I'm Luke Owen and this is the WrestleTalk
00:11News.
00:14We truly are now in the final stretch of John Cena appearances for WWE before he hangs up
00:19the jorts for good. Ten dates in fact. But it won't be the last we see of Big Match
00:24John of course, because he's a big movie star and he'll be making appearances here
00:28and there as well as cameos, or he'll be in pubs downing pints of Guinness like he did
00:32on the most recent WWE UK tour. He didn't even attempt to split the G there, didn't
00:38even let the thing settle properly.
00:39Speaking of things not settling, and it would appear that WWE was too soon on the most recent
00:44episode of Raw, where she used the passing of Ozzy Osbourne for heel heat in his hometown,
00:49when she said, I am not wrestling in Birmingham. The only good thing that came out of here died
00:53a month ago. Ozzy Osbourne had the good sense to move to LA, a proper city.
00:58If I lived in Birmingham, I'd die too.
01:00The line did get heat, but it also drew some negative attention online. Several UK news
01:05outlets and websites ran stories about fan anger, including Birmingham Live, which found
01:10not one, not two, not four, but three angry tweets from fans, including this one that said
01:15WWE, whoever wrote Becky Lynch's script should be ashamed of themselves. The total disrespect
01:20shown to Birmingham and cheap shot at the memory of Ozzy was disgusting. You should never
01:25put politics in sport. What a disgusting lot you are.
01:28Yeah Becky Lynch, how dare you bring up politics. Wait, what?
01:31But one person who did seem legit upset about Becky Lynch's joke is Ozzy's daughter Kelly
01:36Osbourne, who took to Instagram to write, you are a disrespectful dirtbag. Birmingham would
01:40not piss on you if you were on fire. Shame on WWE for allowing such a thing to be said about
01:45my father and his home. Oddly tagging a Becky Lynch fan account rather than Lynch herself.
01:50Of course, opinions are divided. Some saw Lynch's comments as simply heel heat on the city
01:55rather than Ozzy himself, while others felt it was too soon to be using the passing of
01:59an icon to get cheap heat. WWE wouldn't dare do such a thing like that.
02:04There were even some who wondered if Kelly Osbourne was in on all of this and could possibly work
02:08something into an angle, but it would appear that WWE might have seen their lapse in judgement.
02:14According to Bryan Alvarez, who do take this with a pinch of salt, this was not like
02:17they called Kelly Osbourne and are doing something together. Kelly is not happy. I was told WWE
02:22is embarrassed and they're probably going to do an apology. They may not. If you look
02:27back at how many times WWE has actually apologised for something, it ain't many. There's discussions
02:32about doing a public apology, I know they've talked about doing a private apology. Do you
02:36think WWE should apologise for Becky Lynch's promo, or do you think it was simply heel heat?
02:42Let me know in the comments down below. Something that WWE likely won't be apologising for
02:47is the release of several names from their WWE ID program. Aaron Roberts confirmed himself
02:52via social media that he'd been released, posting, I was fired from my dream job. PWInsider
02:57are also reporting that Ice Williams and Jordan Oasis have been released from their ID contracts.
03:03They are the first names to be released from the ID program after Freedom Ramsey departed from
03:07the program in May. All three competed in the tournament to crown the men's ID champion,
03:12with Williams being eliminated by eventual winner Cappuccino Jones. Both Williams and Oasis have
03:16been featured on Evolve. It's worth noting that these are releases, not contracts coming
03:21to an end, so maybe they'll have some shoot comments to make on a podcast at some point.
03:26Like Jake Hager.
03:27Hager was the surprise debut for All Elite Wrestling on the very first episode of Dynamite.
03:31Apparently it was supposed to be AJ Styles and the Good Brothers, but all three decided
03:35to re-sign with WWE, so they pivoted to Hager instead. His run in AEW was mostly forgettable,
03:40being part of two Chris Jericho factions and only really getting over because of a purple
03:45hat. His contract came to an end last year, and he accused Tony Khan of silencing him and
03:49called him a communist in a Twitter rant. You know what they're like? Billionaire communists?
03:53He announced his retirement from wrestling earlier this month, and has now done an interview with
04:02Chris Van Vliet where he had more harsh words to say about his former employer, specifically
04:08about a meeting following Brawl Out. It had been reported that Moxley, Bryan Danielson and
04:12Chris Jericho stepped up as locker room leaders around this time, and Hager recalled them calling
04:17a talent meeting that was for talent only shortly after All Out 2022. However, according to Hager,
04:23Tony Khan made his presence felt. He said,
04:26And lo and behold, who comes into the room storming in? Daddy's little billionaire.
04:31And he's yelling at us because, I think it was Dax and Cash, didn't want to come in.
04:34They didn't like the storyline, so they refused to come to TV that day. And he was like,
04:39Listen, I'll put you in a six-man, six minutes before the show, and you're going to do it.
04:43And we're all just like, feeling disrespected. I still to this day wish I would have stood up
04:47and said a lot of things. You just told Sting you're going to put him in a six-man in six
04:51minutes and then you're going to honour him for his retirement? He adds that Khan saw wrestlers
04:55as little more than his action figures and struggled to take criticism. He added,
05:00We all had our careers behind us that helped build that company. And then we all had to just
05:04sit side by side and couldn't do anything because he wanted to run it the way he wanted to run it.
05:09It's actually a change of pace of Khan criticisms, which are usually that he's a pushover
05:13and just does what talents say. Some questioned the veracity of Hager's story, as Sting wasn't
05:18in a six-man tag following All Out 2022, and it didn't take long for some of what Hager said to
05:23be disputed by two of the names he brought up. Dax Harwood posted to Twitter,
05:27Cash and I were at the All Talent Only meeting that was called by Bryant, Jericho and Mox.
05:31Tony never interrupted. Cash and I never refused to show up for work, and I dare say,
05:36if you look at our schedule since Collision started, we're the most consistent talent that make
05:40both shows every week. I'm not really sure where all of this is coming from, but it's mostly not
05:45true. Cash then posted a DM exchange he had with Hager, which saw Jake apologize for his comments
05:51and wrote back on naming Dax and Cash. Before I get into the NXT review, here's a clip
05:55from the latest episode of Cutscene's Worst Movie Ever podcast, where myself and Oli Davis break down
06:01the four-hour Snyder Cut of Justice League, which has a surprising reveal from the man who absolutely
06:07detested the rest of the Snyderverse of DC movies.
06:12If there's any justice in the world, Zach would be with me. Joss would be in the bin.
06:22It's the Justice League Snyder Cut review of Worst Movie Ever. I'm Oli Davis. I'm joined by
06:30Luco in DAD, and I can't believe this is happening.
06:36Guys, if you're a regular watcher to this series, you are about to have your mind blown.
06:45Can you see this? Best movie ever. Well, this is an episode of Best Movie Ever now.
06:51Well, hot damn. I, just to get this right out of the gate, really enjoyed Zack Snyder's Justice League.
07:01Do you know what? Because I was surprised when you first said this to me, because you were like,
07:04partway through and you were like, I'm loving this movie. And it hit me this morning. I really
07:10shouldn't have been surprised by it, because with every worst movie ever that we have done,
07:15your suggestion has always been, add more scenes. And this is a movie that just keeps adding scenes,
07:21and making them twice as long. So it's Wednesday, you know what that means. It's time for my review
07:26of this week's NXT. The show opened with a very good recap of a very good heatwave,
07:31and Ricky Saitz came out for a promo to lay out his claim to Obafemi's NXT Championship.
07:36He called out Femi, but got Josh Briggs instead, who said that he was sick of people like Saitz and
07:40Inamura coming into NXT and leapfrogging him into title matches. Saitz called him Sid from Toy Story,
07:46and Ava made a match between the two with the winner earning a shot at Obafemi at No Mercy.
07:50Blake Monroe took on Kalani Jordan in a rematch from a few weeks back, where Jordan won via
07:54countout. The action was solid enough, and the finish saw Jordan Grace come out and Blake attempt
07:58to escape and get counted out again, only this time to find the door was locked. She headed back
08:03to the ring, and Jordan won via a rollup. I found the online reaction to the Miles Bourne
08:07Lexus King blindfold match announcement rather baffling. I mean, this was never going to win
08:11match of the year, but it certainly was going to be a lot of fun given who's in the match,
08:15and the very silly stipulation. And this was just that. They stumbled around, Lexus fell over a
08:21bunch of things and looked very silly, and eventually he lifted the hood to see where he was,
08:25and low-blowed Bourne to get the win. This was exactly what you would expect it to be.
08:30I guess your enjoyment will be based around how much silly bollocks you like.
08:33Charlie Dempsey found a tag partner for Ren Sinclair in the form of Kendall Gray, who was
08:37super ineffective against the culling, who beat them very quickly when Izzy Dame hit her finish on
08:41Sinclair, and Gray distracted herself by doing a submission and not breaking up the pin.
08:46Ricky Saints became the number one contender to the NXT Championship when he beat Briggs in a very
08:49good match. It was mostly Briggs working over Saints for a long time, but Ricky is such a solid babyface
08:54in peril that the crowd bought into his comeback, and he won with the Tornado DDT, presumably because
08:59he couldn't get the big lad up for the Rochambeau. In a wacky bit of pacing, we then cut backstage to
09:03all the NXT women standing in a row to set up a match between Jada Parker and Lash Legend for next week,
09:08and then we cut back to the ring for Saints to do his post-match promo on Oba Femi. Oba came out
09:13and said that he will make Ricky feel like a normal man, and the absolute will be absolutely mediocre.
09:18Darkstay came out and they got into a brawl with Hank and Tank coming out to make the save.
09:22They later told Ava they wanted a tag team title rematch, but first it will be an eight-man tag
09:26next week, which sounds like a lot of fun. Tyra May still got a win back by beating Alba Fire.
09:31Ava announced that there will be a tournament to crown a number one contender to Sol Ruka's Speed
09:35Championship with representatives from the main roster, AAA and TNA, and JC Jane told Jasmine
09:40Nix that she should be in the tournament instead of her because she was screwed out of her TNA
09:43Knockouts title. And that dissension bled into the main event as Lola Vice, Sol Ruka and Zarya
09:47beat Fatal Influence in a really fun match mired by some dreadful commentary by Booker T wanking at
09:52ringside over Lola Vice. Vice got the win over Nix and she'll be facing Jane for the title at no mercy.
09:57Overall, a really fun edition of NXT with two really good matches.
10:01Now go and check out our podcast review of Zack Snyder's four-hour cut of Justice League over
10:05on Cutscene, which Oli Davis actually really rather enjoyed.
