00:00 Welcome to the WrestleTalk News, I'm Pete Quinnell.

00:08 On Wednesdays, we wear the same thing we always do.

00:12 Cody, Cody, Cody.

00:14 Mr. Rhodes is set to take on Brock Lesnar at Summerslam in just over a week's time,

00:19 and he's just had the premiere of his documentary American Nightmare, colon, becoming Cody Rhodes.

00:24 Even despite his WrestleMania loss, which is still a creative error, I will die on this

00:28 bill, things are looking up for Cody as he maintains his popularity.

00:31 However, things weren't quite so peachy on his previous run in WWE, as of course he

00:35 famously left the company and started his own promotion, though I forget the name of

00:39 the place now, must be some indie fed.

00:41 And as had been mentioned, there seemed to be a lot of creative frustration surrounding

00:44 that decision, with the Stardust gimmick, him not being used correctly, etc.

00:48 But Cody has now revealed the exact moment he knew it was time to go.

00:52 During the Q&A session at the premiere for his documentary, Cody was asked about his

00:56 initial exit from WWE, and said that after speaking with his father Dusty Rhodes, he'd

01:00 encouraged him to leave if he was so unhappy.

01:02 He'd been mulling it over, but the moment that made him realise he should leave was

01:06 at a WWE live event, where he approached a writer who was sitting at his laptop, where

01:10 the writer seemingly shooed Cody away with a hand wave and continued tapping away at

01:15 his laptop.

01:16 But Cody noticed that his laptop screen was actually blank, and the writer was quite clearly

01:20 just pretending because he didn't want to talk to Cody.

01:23 Cody said he was so angry that he confronted Triple H about it and said he wanted to punch

01:27 that writer in the face, to which Triple H told him he should, but Cody instead left

01:31 the company and made that...company...called...I can't remember.

01:36 While the identity of the writer is unknown, Cody did also mention that the writer is still

01:40 employed in WWE today.

01:42 I hope they're doing a little more than typing on a blank screen though.

01:46 But that's some heat there between Cody and that WWE writer, but I'm no expert on

01:50 wrestling heat, so instead I'm going to hand it to WrestleTalk's weather reporter

01:54 Helen Temperature, who's going to tell us exactly how much heat there is.

01:58 And considering this heat prompted the start of AEW, there's got to be a fair amount of

02:04 heat there.

02:05 How's it looking out there, Helen?

02:06 "This is hotter than your average Kane entrance.

02:09 That's an 8."

02:11 Oh, you a big Kane fan, Helen?

02:14 "Oh yes.

02:15 I think his movie is incredible."

02:17 His...movie?

02:18 Oh, Cena Evil?

02:19 "No, Citizen Kane."

02:20 Oh.

02:21 Ok.

02:22 Thank you, Helen.

02:23 Elsewhere in the media press for his documentary, Cody spoke to Jimmy Trainor on SI Media, and

02:34 touched on his WrestleMania 39 loss, which is still a creative error, I will die on this

02:38 hill.

02:39 Cody mentioned that he was surprised at how pissed people were, saying that management

02:43 within WWE were checking in on him and warning him not to go online after the match.

02:47 Why?

02:48 Were people upset?

02:49 Were people calling it one of the biggest creative blunders in years?

02:52 Not sure why people would do that, unless of course it is.

02:55 But that's in the past, that's WrestleMania, let's talk about Summerslam.

02:58 We spoke yesterday about some potential LA Night plans that could line up for the show,

03:02 which currently are pencilled in to be a segment/angle of some sort, but he's not the only one.

03:08 According to Works Wrestling on Twitter, while nothing is set in stone, Grayson Waller may

03:12 be lined up to have some sort of segment with a WWE legend.

03:16 This comes after his segment at Money in the Bank with John Cena, and his interactions

03:19 with Edge on Smackdown at Madison Square Garden.

03:21 So I assume it'll be Cena again, where Cena will be telling the Detroit crowd that they

03:26 should bring WrestleMania to their city.

03:28 There is of course also the looming factor of Waller having Twitter back and forth with

03:32 The Rock as of late.

03:33 Could we be seeing The Rock return to WWE to beat up Waller a little bit?

03:37 It would be interesting to have The Rock on the same show where tribal combat decided

03:40 to take place between Reigns and Jey Uso, especially since we know it was The Elder's

03:45 idea to have that match in the first place.

03:47 So maybe we think we've got all of The Rock that we're going to get earlier in the night

03:50 with Grayson Waller, but then he makes his presence felt in the tribal combat match in

03:54 the main event?

03:56 I think that'd be cool.

03:57 Another thing that may lend Rock to doing an appearance at Summerslam is after taking

04:00 a few hits to his image in Hollywood and beyond, he may look to curry favour by doing a feel-good

04:05 appearance at WWE, but that is 100% speculation on my part.

04:10 Now as we spoke about on yesterday's news video, the angle that took place on this week's

04:14 Raw where Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest dumped Kevin Owens on the stage to distract Sami

04:18 Zayn in his match against Dominik Mysterio was reportedly done because KO had a legitimate

04:22 injury.

04:23 In a backstage segment, KO could be heard speculating that he had a broken rib to the

04:27 doctors who were checking him out, and as we mentioned, there may have been some truth

04:30 to that.

04:31 But as it turns out, if I had a dime for every time that there was a legitimate injury that

04:35 was covered with an injury angle on this week's episode of Raw, with the angle being carried

04:38 up by Rhea Ripley, I'd have two dimes, which isn't much but it's weird it happened

04:42 twice.

04:43 Plus, as it turns out, the angle involving Rhea injuring Liv Morgan by stamping on her

04:47 arm that was wrapped in a chair was also hiding some truth according to PWInsider and Wrestling

04:52 Observer Radio, as Morgan is reportedly suffering from a separated shoulder yet again, with

04:57 Bryan Alvarez saying, "Liv Morgan does have a shoulder injury and this was an angle to

05:01 put her out of action for a while and maybe a long while.

05:04 I guess that is to be determined."

05:06 However it is reportedly the other shoulder, rather than the same one this time as Morgan

05:10 has only just come back from a separated shoulder injury.

05:13 Which again, if I had two dimes for every time Liv Morgan had a separated shoulder,

05:17 we at WrestleTalk would of course like to wish Liv well in her recovery.

05:21 Wrapped in with all this, as mentioned before, is Kevin Owens' injury, and there's been

05:24 an update on that side too.

05:25 While there's still some uncertainty over it, Dave Meltzer did mention on Wrestling

05:28 Observer Radio that he does have a fractured rib, and that he has in fact been working

05:32 with it for a while.

05:34 WWE had reportedly been waiting for a break in KO and Sami's story to give KO the time

05:39 off to heal properly, so I guess a week out from Summerslam is the best time for it.

05:43 I'm being glib as it seems they weren't factored into the show as it is, so it is

05:47 actually a pretty good time to pull the trigger.

05:49 Them not being at the show was mentioned in yesterday's news video as well, as WWE is

05:53 reportedly considering Summerslam this year full with 9 matches.

05:57 But even with all these injuries, Raw still did pretty well for viewership all things

06:00 considered, as the show averaged 1.818 million viewers, with some very fun numbers like Dominik

06:05 Mysterio vs. Sami Zayn peaking at nearly 2 million viewers.

06:08 Dom Dom is a draw draw.

06:10 Now over in AEW, Roosh recently announced that he had re-signed with the company after

06:15 back and forth and teasers that he could be leaving.

06:17 Now Jose The Assistant has chimed in with some extra information saying exactly why

06:21 Roosh chose AEW over going elsewhere, presumably WWE.

06:26 Roosh re-signed with AEW because of how much concern Tony showed for Roosh's wife and

06:30 newborn.

06:31 Family is important to Roosh, seeing how much Tony cared is what solidified the deal.

06:35 There were other offers, but never any consideration to go.

06:38 AEW cares, Tony cares about his people.

06:42 Following this re-signing, CM Punk claimed Roosh as his own on Instagram, captioning

06:45 the video of the re-signing with "Collider" which is the name given to those on Collision,

06:50 so I assume those who are on Dynamite are Dynamiters or Exploders?

06:55 Exploders is much cooler.

06:57 Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio as well that AEW are looking to re-sign people

07:01 to new multi-year deals.

07:02 And while we don't know the length of this contract right now, it's fair to assume

07:06 that this could have been one of them.

07:07 Earlier in AEW, they recently put on their Blood & Guts show, which saw the AEW debut

07:12 of Kota Ibushi.

07:13 And while it was hinted that he could be appearing at more AEW shows, nothing has been confirmed

07:17 as of yet.

07:18 Which then begs the question of what's happening when AEW comes to London for All In?

07:22 Will Kota be joining them?

07:24 Yes, please, I would like to see him wrestle.

07:26 On Wrestling Observer Radio, it was mentioned that there's every chance Ibushi could join

07:30 AEW for the show.

07:31 In fact, it even seems likely, as while nothing is confirmed, Ibushi himself believed he's

07:36 going to the Wembley show.

07:38 Which seems fairly conclusive, but you never know I suppose.

07:42 Still though, it seems like Ibushi should be in London, which makes me all warm and

07:45 fuzzy inside.

07:46 And now it's time for my one minute one take, where I will attempt to recount everything

07:50 that happened on last night's episode of NXT in one minute and in one take.

07:54 Start the timer!

07:55 The show started with a triple threat being made for the Great American Bash for Dominic

07:57 Mysterio's North American Championship between him, Wesley and Muspura Lee, which again was

08:01 made when Rhea said so on Dom's behalf.

08:03 Session in the Judgment Day!

08:05 Tony DeAngelo and Stacks say they're going to win the tag titles in a match that's set

08:07 up between them and Bronco Neymar and Lucian Price, where DeAngelo and Stacks won, where

08:12 Scripps was on guest commentary.

08:13 Carmelo Hayes and Ilja Dragunov won the How Will They Coexist tag match against The Schism,

08:17 Von Wagner squashed a guy but was then attacked by Braun Breaker.

08:19 Dable Steeves' debut match will be a Great American Bash against Baron Corbin, glad he

08:23 got drafted to Raw.

08:24 Dana Brooke defeated Cora Jade in a Kendo Stick match, holy s*** she actually won something.

08:28 Dijak cut a promo on Eddie Thorpe, Blair Davenport and Roxanne Perez brawled in a supermarket,

08:32 have I seen that before?

08:33 And a pre-show 8 person tag match is set for Great American Bash with Meta 4 vs Dragon

08:36 Lee, Nathan Frazier, Valentin Frost and Ulissa Leon.

08:38 Thea Hale was training for her title match and lost to Thario so break it up, oh no!

08:42 Rhea Ripley then beat Lyra Ralkiria and the show closed with Dragunov, Williams and Hayes

08:46 brawling ahead of the title match on Sunday.

08:48 The NXT title match that is.

08:50 On Sunday.

08:51 I basically got that didn't I?

08:54 I think that was probably a minute.

08:55 I don't have a timer and the screen that normally has the timer on it, the timer isn't working

08:59 so I can't see if it was a minute or not.

09:02 But I'm pretty confident I did it.

09:03 I'm pretty certain that the comments are going to be on my side here.

09:06 I definitely, I nailed that.

09:08 I mentioned yesterday's news video quite a bit in the video today so why not check that

09:12 one out featuring me doing the Raw review too.

09:14 Here's a clip.

09:15 I'm just a wrestler and has begun being an agent/producer for AEW as well.

09:21 Which in case you don't know, involves being on a headset during matches, giving information

09:25 to ringside informing TV production of planned spots.
