00:00Is a major WWE return the real reason for the controversial Bad Blood main event?

00:05Becky Lynch's secret WWE status?

00:08Vince McMahon admits he's wrong?

00:10And more.

00:11I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:23Before I get into the news, over on Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk, Luke and I have

00:27released an exclusive podcast diving deep into the AEW TV deal, what that means for

00:33the future of the wrestling industry, and a look at AEW's ratings over the 5 years

00:38of their existence, and the effects CM Punk, Cody Rhodes and NXT have had on their viewership.

00:44What's a Punk got to do these days to get a main event in WWE, aside from not being

01:08injured a lot of the time?

01:10Since his return to WWE last November, Punk has found his two singles matches against

01:14Drew McIntyre take place in the middle of the cards, at Basham Berlin and SummerSlam.

01:19Sure, he kind of main-evented a pay-per-view with January's Royal Rumble.

01:23But by that logic, so did Carlito.

01:25You have to go back over 11 years for Punk's last singles pay-per-view main event in the

01:30promotion, when they were actually called pay-per-views, where he lost to The Rock for

01:35the WWE Heavyweight Championship at Elimination Chamber 2013.

01:40Punk only ever main-evented 16 pay-per-views over his seven year run, despite being the

01:45top champion for 434 days there.

01:48It was a long-running frustration that the actual stars like The Rock, John Cena and

01:53John Laurinaitis were given the show closing spots.

01:57And that is the way it'll continue, as PWInsider and Fightful are now reporting Punk vs Drew

02:03McIntyre in Hell in a Cell won't close Saturday's Bad Blood Premium Live event.

02:11The tag match of Solo Sakoa and Jacob Fatu vs Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns will.

02:16This comes after two weeks of backstage disagreement over which match should go on last.

02:21While Reigns and Cody are the promotion's biggest stars, them tagging together is an

02:25angle to build to a bigger match, like WarGames in November, or a singles match next year.

02:30Punk and Drew, however, is the conclusion of an epically told, long-running, near-year-long

02:35feud.

02:36The deciding rubber match, and a Hell in a Cell stipulation.

02:40A stipulation that Punk himself has revealed he's intent on making important again as

02:46he told the No Contest Wrestling Podcast, I have to stay true to myself, my beliefs

02:51of what good wrestling is, and that cell that I feel like as a company we've gotten away

02:55from for so long, where it just became a toy.

02:59Like we're just going to have a pay-per-view, call it Hell in a Cell, and everyone's going

03:03to go inside and have matches.

03:05When, in reality, that should be presented as the most dangerous, diabolical thing that

03:10any wrestler would ever want to do.

03:13I want to bring it back to what it's supposed to be.

03:15I don't want to have a cell that needs a match.

03:18I want to have a match that needs the cell.

03:22And I feel like me and Drew have done that.

03:24There's no other way to settle this.

03:27This totally vibes with Paul Levesque's booking philosophy.

03:30Under Vince McMahon, WWE would run Hell in a Cell pay-per-views, where feuds had to take

03:34place inside the structure no matter where they are in the storyline, and multiple Hell

03:39in a Cell matches would take place on the same night.

03:42The stipulation had become a crutch under McMahon, booking nine in the two years before

03:47he retired, for the first time.

03:49For comparison, Levesque has only booked two in the two years since taking over from

03:54Vince.

03:55But despite the stipulation, the hotness of Punk vs McIntyre, the legacy of Bad Blood

04:001997 being main evented by the first ever Hell in a Cell match, and that WWE reportedly

04:05took note of the fan backlash online when the tag match was mentioned as a possible

04:10show closer, Fightful Select is reporting Punk vs Drew is expected to open Bad Blood.

04:17Good luck following that, Nia Jax and Bayley.

04:20So if that's the opener, does WWE actually have something enormous planned for the main

04:25event?

04:26In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Cody heavily pushed him teaming up with his former

04:30foe Roman at Bad Blood.

04:32Anything is really possible now, the quarterback and the cornerstone.

04:36It'll be the best WWE PLE to date.

04:41Now I get you've got to hype up shows as the face of the company, but saying Bad Blood

04:45will be the best ever WWE PLE after two years of great to all-time fantastic PLEs is a pretty

04:53big push.

04:54Unless Cody knows something we don't.

04:58Like what almost came out following his appearance on the Pat McAfee show.

05:02Which Rhodes specifically shared on his Instagram, suggesting he wants people to hear that interaction.

05:25Cody is shown in the clip thanking Pat's team when McAfee states the big guy is coming

05:30back this week.

05:31You'd assume that's Roman, who hasn't wrestled a match since he's lost to Cody

05:34at WrestleMania 40.

05:36But Cody responds asking… which big guy?

05:40Potentially implying another top star is set to return at the show, which Pat has also

05:44heard about.

05:45And the only real name big enough that fits that particular storyline, and Cody's promotion

05:50of it being the best PLE to date, is Rock for Dwayne Johnson.

05:55It's alright there, wake up Sheeple!

05:59Rock could be blocking CM Punk's main event 13 years after Punk's pipebomb that said

06:04that the fact that Dwayne is in the main event of WrestleMania this year and I'm not makes

06:10me sick.

06:11What do you think about the Hell in a Cell match not main eventing Bad Blood?

06:14Tell me in the comments down below.

06:18Talking of big stars not currently wrestling, an update has come out about Becky Lynch's

06:23WWE status.

06:24Lynch hasn't appeared on WWE TV since May, when she lost the Women's World Championship

06:28rematch to Liv Morgan on Raw.

06:30Her contract expired the following month, and she teased leaving wrestling altogether

06:35on social media.

06:36She's reportedly been a free agent, technically free to go anywhere she wants since then.

06:42But now WrestleVotes Radio is reporting Becky is still listed on the company's internal

06:47roster, which is handed out backstage every week.

06:50They can't say if this means she's re-signed with WWE, but it does support the theory that

06:54Lynch leaving is just a temporary hiatus, rather than her being done forever.

06:59There's even speculation that Becky isn't actually a free agent, where she would have

07:03re-signed before she left, and is simply having an extended holiday, which is why she's

07:07still on the internal roster.

07:09AEW are somehow even less secretive when it comes to their talent dealings.

07:13Following MVP and Shelton Benjamin debuting in AEW, Fightful Select have inevitably broken

07:18that their Hurt Business partner Bobby Lashley has also signed with the promotion.

07:23Apparently all three members actually signed deals a number of weeks ago, and Lashley's

07:27onscreen debut is imminent, where he's expected to enter a feud with Swerve Strickland.

07:32Daniel Garcia, meanwhile, hasn't been seen on AEW TV since he lost to MJF at All Out

07:37last month.

07:38Prior to this, AEW was giving him a sustained push, but reportedly wrote him off TV when

07:44he wouldn't commit to a new contract, with WWE apparently champing at the bit to sign

07:50him.

08:04Fightful Select have now reported that Garcia hasn't been backstage at the recent AEW

08:08tapings, despite them being big shows for the company, like last week's Grand Slam

08:12in New York and the fifth anniversary episode this past Wednesday.

08:16A boo of WrestlePurists, however, does write that there are creative pitches for him if

08:20he decides to return.

08:22In more optimistic news, someone who has been backstage is Adam Cole Bebe, fuelling speculation

08:28that he'll return to TV soon after being out for over a year with an injury.

08:33But the biggest thing AEW needs right now isn't Adam Cole Bebe, not Red Death Daniel

08:38Garcia, not the revamped Hurt Business syndicate faction, hell, not even the TV deal.

08:44AEW is where the best wrestle, which is why they need the greatest wrestler in the woooooooorld,

08:56Shane McMahon to be All Elite.

08:58Following us breaking photo evidence of Shane's private, not-so-secret meeting with Tony Khan

09:02in August, and McMahon taking a picture with the Young Bucks last week, Mercedez Monet

09:07has now written the following in her newsletter.

09:09Seeing Shane's incredible heart and passion for wrestling makes me think he has a lot

09:14of unfinished business.

09:15It also makes me think, is Shane coming to AEW?

09:18I'm here for it, and I'm sure our roster is too."

09:22Following the McMahon Netflix docuseries, Mercedes also wrote about one of her experiences

09:27with Vince.

09:28A rare example of the man admitting he was wrong.

09:32During a feud with Nia Jax, which was presumably in their 2017 series of singles matches, although

09:36Monet doesn't specify exactly when, she writes,

09:40Vince accidentally called over the headset for the referee to ring the bell, and it was

09:44way too early.

09:46We were confused, but we played along.

09:48When she got backstage, she asked Triple H what happened, and Hunter playfully told her

09:53to go confront Vince about it.

09:55So I did.

09:56Vince admitted he was wrong, and then shared a laugh about it.

10:00This was presumably from a better time in their working relationship, as Mercedes has

10:04recently revealed her leaving WWE was because of Vince.

10:09A lot of personal stuff happened with myself and the chairman at the time.

10:13I didn't like how he talked to me, and how I was talked down to.

10:17But what about all those wrestlers who were legitimately fired on air?

10:21Go watch our video counting them down now, here's a clip.

10:24Hulk Hogan.

10:25I've always thought that the Mr. America character made perfect sense.

10:29I mean, what do Hulk Hogan and a bald eagle have in common?

10:33It's like grounds for a character change to me.

10:35After Hogan beat Vince McMahon in a Who's a Bigger Piece of Sh** Street Fight at WrestleMania

10:3919, Hogan was taken off TV by an angry McMahon.

10:43Immediately afterward, vignettes hailing the arrival of Mr. America began to air on SmackDown.

10:49Who arrives but a guy who is definitely not Hulk Hogan, and typical Ruthless Aggression

10:54Era comedy ensued.

10:55It wouldn't last too long, however.
