00:00A major update on CM Punk including his, quote, BS merch, a TNA star slams AEW, a big title

00:08change on Dynamite, and more.

00:10I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:20You know when you're totally over that toxic relationship you had years ago?

00:24So much so that you don't even look at Megan's Creek 24 Facebook album she just put up?

00:28What do you mean she's got a kid now?

00:30It seems TNA have similarly moved on from the wrestling promotion they used to be in

00:34a relationship with… AEW.

00:36The AEW-TNA partnership in 2021 was short-lived, but came during a hot period for AEW.

00:43Kenny Omega was in belt collector mode, holding the Impact World title for 110 days before

00:49dropping it to Christian Cage on the first ever episode of AEW Rampage.

00:54Former TNA referee Brian Hebner has previously criticised the relationship as more being

00:58about putting AEW stars over than elevating TNA.

01:02And according to TNA's World Champion Moose, their new boyfriend treats them so much better.

01:08Just look at their car.

01:09In an interview with the Metro, Moose said, I think the partnership with WWE is the best

01:13relationship that TNA's ever had, way better than the one we had with AEW, better than

01:19what was done with AAA and any other company.

01:22I think this relationship with WWE, both companies respect each other and are doing great by

01:27each other.

01:28And there's no, there's not one company that is being selfish.

01:33Like how TNA Knockouts Champion Jordan Grace was beaten on the NXT PLE by champion Roxanne

01:37Perez to get her win back on a TNA show against Tatum Paxley.

01:44At least WWE won't be able to steal the partnership's breakout star Joe Hendry.

01:53For a while, as he said on the Talk is Jericho podcast, he has a while left on his TNA de-

01:58OH MY GOD SAY HIS NAME AND HE APPEARS.

02:01But TNA isn't the only surprising wrestling name frequently turning up in NXT.

02:06CM Punk mysteriously showed up there on Wednesday 17th July too.

02:10With Drew McIntyre's suspension not being rescinded on Monday's Raw, and Seth Rollins

02:14entering the feud's chat, it's being speculated that Punk won't be cleared in time for a

02:19him vs McIntyre singles match at SummerSlam.

02:22He's set to appear on next week's Raw, but in the meantime, he was spotted at the

02:26WWE Performance Center with his NXT children Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez, who, in a funny

02:32viral clip, asked him how the Great Depression was.

02:34A joke at how old they think Punk is, not asking him about his last year in AEW.

02:40But according to PWInsider, Punk wasn't just at the PC to appear in TikToks, he was

02:45in the ring working to get officially cleared by WWE Medical.

02:50That would mean, at least before the 17th July, Punk has still not been medically cleared.

02:56He tore his triceps in the Royal Rumble match back in January.

02:59He previously said at the Clash at the Castle media conference that he was hoping to be

03:03cleared on that week's SmackDown, but that was now almost a month ago.

03:06He'll have to get cleared in the next two and a bit weeks to make SummerSlam.

03:10Since Clash at the Castle, Punk has also kind of been feuding with McIntyre's UK mate

03:15WWE commentator Wade Barrett.

03:18It's actually an example of long-term booking that stretches back to January 3rd 2011, where

03:24Barrett lost a steel cage match, which would see him betrayed by Punk, who would then take

03:28control of Barrett's Nexus faction.

03:31Which is probably why Wade exploded on X when WWE announced that they were re-releasing

03:35a CM Punk Nexus shirt in 2024.

03:38A Nexus shirt?

03:40WTF is this BS?

03:42And who in the merch department is getting a slap this Friday?

03:45Carbon copy Drew McIntyre.

03:47The real biggest match of the Summer, though, is Dom vs Holly over on our brand new video

03:51game channel Control Freaks.

04:17Now it's time for my review of the 250th episode of AEW Dynamite… in about 5 minutes.

04:36I missed last week's episode because I was in sunny Portugal for a stag.

04:40I'm stagging you.

04:41I wonder how the MJF vs Will Ospreay feud for the international title for All In's

04:45coming along.

04:46I'll leave you alone for one week, KHAAAAAAN.

04:51Will Ospreay defending his international championship against MJF may be the biggest first time

04:57match this company could do opened this free episode of Dynamite TV.

05:03I'll get my one complaint out of the way early.

05:05I understand Tony's on-paper reasoning for wanting big matches to start shows to grab

05:10as many viewers as possible from the preceding Big Bang Theory, but in practice it creates

05:14a back-to-front viewing experience, giving the rest of the show an impossibly hard-to-follow

05:18standard and nullifying the prestige of the main event placement.

05:22But that aside, holy crap, this was one of the best matches in Dynamite history.

05:27MJF healed it up early with all his usual tricks, going into the crowd and ripping up

05:32signs, doing the Ric Flair strut.

05:34But Will gave as good as he got, doing a strut of his own and wiping out Max with a sent

05:38onto the outside.

05:39MJF then got the better of the next 20 minutes, i.e. a whole pay-per-view match length for

05:43The Immortals, coming off as incredibly smart and dangerous, expertly countering most of

05:48Will's big moves.

05:49It was all to build Ospreay's comeback, where he was actually the first to cheat.

05:54A lot of people are going to talk about Max using the diamond ring to win the match, but

05:57we should be looking at who fired the first illegal shots.

06:01Will using this foreign object, an actual human child, to hit Max in the chest.

06:07If that isn't a DQ price, I don't know what is.

06:10Then came the part of the 2K match when you tried to use all your favourite signature

06:13moves from other wrestlers.

06:14Ospreay hit two Styles clashes, one on the ring apron and one off the middle rope.

06:18MJF hit Adam Cole's Panama Sunrise.

06:21Both men attempted a crossroads.

06:23Will's arm by this point was dangling by a thread, so Doc Samson popped it back in

06:27place during the ad break.

06:29Another bit of outside help for the babyface.

06:32And we finally got the pay-off to the Chekhov's Table set up about 40 minutes earlier, with

06:36Max hitting a top rope elbow outside onto Will through it.

06:40Then, somehow, 55 minutes in, both men just started sprinting.

06:44There's an incredibly fast sequence of nearfalls.

06:47Both men do the flip out standing spot from the top rope hurricanranas.

06:51Will hits an Oscutter and hidden blade, but Max kicks out.

06:54Ospreay goes for a second hidden blade from behind, but Max collapses before he can hit

06:58it.

06:59And then came the Oreo on top of this delicious wrestling Oreo cheesecake.

07:03Justin Roberts suddenly made the one minute remaining time call.

07:06Ok, I've seen this movie before.

07:08I guess a time limit draw is the safe way to build an All In rematch.

07:12At least I got to see an all-time hour long match.

07:15Now desperate to win, Ospreay goes for the Tiger Driver he said he wouldn't hit again,

07:19but he second guessed himself.

07:20It was enough of a pause for Max to recover and push Will away, sending Ospreay crashing

07:25into the referee, and enough time for MJF to knock Will out with his diamond ring.

07:31Make the pin, and get the win with seconds to go left on the screen.

07:37MJF is your new international champion, and has cheated to win after an hour long match

07:44with Will Ospreay.

07:45It was a thrilling climax to a fantastic bout.

07:48The camera work didn't confirm the ring had been used until just after the win too,

07:53making the finish even more shocking.

07:55Medical personnel rushed in afterwards and hooked MJF up to an oxygen tank, where, between

08:00gasping huffs on the mask, he brilliantly wheezed to camera, easy dub.

08:05Like I said earlier, though, the problem with having the opening hour, one of the best

08:09matches of the year, kind of makes the rest of the show feel relatively subpar.

08:13We got a backstage segment of Swerve Strickland accepting the acclaimed for Blood and Guts

08:17Team A EW.

08:19More like Team B EW… am I right?

08:25Chris Jericho had an in-ring learning tree segment to set up an FTW title match against

08:29Minoru Suzuki next week.

08:31The Elite banned Britt Baker from ringside for Mercedes Monet's TBS title match against

08:35Nyla Rose.

08:36But jokes on them, because they didn't ban Britt Baker in a Sting mask from ringside.

08:40Baker had a pull apart brawl with Monet after she retained in a decent match against Rose.

08:44Mercedes is so, so, so much better as a heel.

08:47The only way to make her better is to have her enter an onscreen relationship with a

08:51carder who got all hot and flustered backstage when she did her dance.

09:00Jack Perry proved Darby Allin couldn't get to him by beating up Brandon Cutler.

09:03By beating up Brandon Cutler himself.

09:05It took me way longer than it should have to realise Toni Storm was actually Mariah

09:10May dressed as Toni Storm next.

09:12She came down to explain her brilliant heel turn at the close of last week's show.

09:16But even gouging Storm's face open with a high heel didn't warrant Toni Schiavone

09:19just saying on commentary, speak, bitch, at the start of this segment, prompting Taz and

09:24likely everyone at home to go, woah Schiavone, calm down buddy.

09:29May explained she'd been planning this all along.

09:31I didn't feel like this was the strongest promo performance as the crowd started to

09:35wat her.

09:36We got a recap of Collision and how the Bang Bang Gang are having to vacate their trios

09:39titles.

09:40Christopher Daniels, aka not Adam Pearce, told them he doesn't like this decision

09:44either, despite him being the one to say it, and it being from the direction of the babyface

09:48authority figure Tony Khan.

09:53I hate the general manager situation in AEW right now.

09:56And the main event was Kazuchika Okada vs Swerve Strickland in a champion vs champion

10:00non-title bout.

10:01They went about 10 minutes before the Bucks caused a rare DQ, as this was always more

10:05about having an angle to intensify next week's Blood & Guts match rather than putting on

10:10another in-ring classic.

10:12Team AEW came out too, Hangman and Swerve never got to be in the same ring together,

10:16and awesomely Darby Allin descended from the rafters Britt Baker style.

10:19One of the best hours in AEW TV history, followed by a normal episode.

10:24Means this week's Dynamite is 91%.

10:27Because the only thing that can top an hour of MJF vs Will Ospreay is an hour of Laurie,

10:31Dom, Sullivan and Holly losing their minds playing Overcooked 2.

10:36Go watch the latest episode of Video Game Club on Control Freaks now.
