Thekla on the possibility of Kairi Sane signing with AEW: “I always like new faces coming in. I still consider myself a new face somehow. It has only been a little bit over a year for me. I’m a huge fan of people just going from one territory to the other, like in the old days. I’m very excited to see who’s gonna step up, you know? Kairi has been the talk of the town. I’m only going to believe it once I see it. For the fans, it’s always cool to see a new matchup. We’ll see. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.“ (TV Insider)
She also had these comments in the same interview on a potential match with Mercedes Mone: “It would obviously be a huge one. I’ve seen how people have been looking forward to it. A lot of people thought this was the match they were going to get to see at All In. When it happens, it’s going to be big. It’s going to be interesting. I know it is going to happen. When? Probably WrestleDream, maybe not, you know? Like, b*tches keep on getting hurt left and right. You never f*cking know. I’m hoping for the best, you know?”
Speaking of Kairi, Fightful Select is reporting that you should not expect her at tonight’s All Out. (Fightful Select)
In an exclusive report to his Twitter subscribers, Bryan Alvarez reports that WWE is planning on having a main roster name appear on the NXT episode on October 6, which goes head-to-head with AEW Grand Slam Paris. He also reports that WWE is planning on continuing to run PLE’s opposite AEW pay-per-views due to the success in selling tickets to tonight’s Worlds Collide show. (Part 1 and Part 2)
In an interview with something called The Normies, Thunder Rosa said that she felt her legitimate heat with Dr. Britt Baker DMD in 2021-2022 helped create the magic they were able to.
“I just wish things would have been a little bit different because Britt and I at the time, when they talk about real heat, there was real heat between us. That’s why people love our story and that’s why people still are reminiscing over the past because we did a lot of very important things and we built what the division is right now with a bloody rivalry.”
“I hated her so much at the time. And it was like there was so much conflict at the time. It was just like, ‘Yes, finally.’ “ “But you know what? I just see it now with a different set of eyes and it was just like I’m so blessed that we were able to create magic in the ring and that no matter what, this was a very special moment for me and for my people too. There’s still a lot of people that come and tell me that they watched this with me, that their parents cried and s–t, and it was like it was a big deal. I was the first Mexican-born woman to win a major title, you know, regardless of how it was or how it went. I was able to do it.” (The Normies)
New Japan announced that Yuya Uemura, Yushin Hatazawa, and Kosei Fujita were pulled from Sunday’s Destruction in Kobe event due to injuries or illness. (NJPW)
