Triple H and Shawn Michaels discuss upcoming Hawaii live events and tryout

WWE Live

WWE Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque did media with Hawaii outlets to promote the upcoming two non-televised live events and tryout set for next month in Honolulu.

Speaking to KHON2 News, Triple H said that “every Superstar” in WWE has asked him to be part of this tour as everyone wants to go to Hawaii.

“This is exciting for us, and this isn’t a one-time deal. We’re not just coming there now, we’re going to be coming there on a regular basis,” Triple H said, adding that they’re going to have their boots on the ground again in Hawaii after being absent since 2019.

With the tryout taking place during the tour, Triple H said that they want to ensure that the Pacific Islands remain a home for WWE for years to come with the next generation of Superstars coming from there.

Shawn Michaels, who will be heading up the tryout, also spoke to the outlet, saying that everyone is excited about it and looking forward to it in a very big way.

WWE will be taking over the Neal S. Blaisdell Center on October 16 and 17.

Stars turn up to support Rebel backstage at Dynamite

PWInsider.com is reporting that the backstage area of Dynamite was pretty busy last night, with many wrestlers attending the show to support Rebel.

Gail Kim, Christy Hemme, Dasha Gonzalez, Allysin Kay, Marti Bella, Scarlett Bordeaux, and Killer Kross were all spotted backstage throughout the night as the wrestling community gathered for Tanea Brooks.

Rebel last wrestled for AEW in August 2022 as part of an episode of Dark and last got in a wrestling ring in February 2024 for GLCW, teaming with fellow AEW star Harley Cameron.

Yesterday’s Dynamite, marketed under the name of Rebel Heart, put a spotlight on Rebel and her fight against ALS. Rebel appeared on the show, first as part of The Waiting Room backstage segment, and then came out in her wheelchair to give Baker her glove during the closing moments of the trios match.

Will Ospreay talks winning AEW World title, All In entrance, neck surgery, and more

Will Ospreay sat down with Chris Van Vliet in Allen, Texas to discuss winning the AEW World Championship at All In, making history as the first English World Champion to win the title in England, the emotional video package narrated by his mom, how he celebrated his big win, returning from his neck surgery in time for Wembley, kicking out of Kenny Omega’s One Winged Angel, MJF claiming he is the true World Champion, having the most Dave Meltzer five star matches ever, and more!

So how did you come up with this now iconic entrance?

“It was obviously helped a lot. Mike Mansury, he’s one of the lead producers for AEW, so he helped come up with it. But my whole thing was I remember last year at Forbidden Door when I went in the steel cage match, and I was trying to think of a real cool entrance for that. I was just like, I’d love it if I could do something there. But I had no idea that Al [Alex Windsor] put down a voiceover for that entrance. It stuck with me because it was scary going into a steel cage match, knowing that I needed neck surgery, and I was just so worried. I kept a real straight face with people, and I was confident in a lot of the things that I was doing in there, but then hearing Al’s voice come through- the line that got me was, ‘If you’re not afraid of what’s next, neither am I.’ It hit me so hard. It made me just feel like I could run through a wall. Then to have that feeling, I was just kind of like, I want my mum to do my next one, just because my mum has seen me grow up through a TV screen. When I was 22 years old, I got signed to New Japan, and although I kept coming back to England, and I get those tours, but a lot of it was like downtime and rest because I was so battered and hurt. I think it was just one of these things where I’d love to show my mom how much she really meant to me, and I’d love to have had her do the voiceover for one of the biggest nights of my life.”

So, what was the conversation when you asked your mom to do that voiceover?

“We were in Orlando, and I said, ‘Mom, I’ve got like a proposition for you. Do you remember the one that Al did for me? I’d like you to do one for me.’ She was just like, ‘I’ll do it now.’ Then she started writing it up. I said, ‘I don’t want to hear it until the night.’”

Did that match live up to the expectations that you had for it?

“Yeah, so much, man. It was just wild, just because going into it, I had really no ideas. I had feelings that I wanted to feel, but I didn’t know how to relay that in terms of the match storytelling. It was only when me and Kenny sat down and started talking about stuff, and then we just came together, and it was just like idea, flow and idea, flow. Honestly, I’d love to be able to tell you guys that when we were hours from going on, and we found out that some people that did stuff that we wanted to do in our match. So then it put us under even more pressure to try and change things around and try and fit it in within our story. It’s no one’s fault. Things happen. I don’t blame anyone in that situation, but it was just as frustrating as it was. What we came up with, what our plan B was, was way, way, way better. So, I was dead happy with that.”

Is there a particular spot in that match that you’re most proud of?

“Yeah, we labeled it Plan B because our Plan A got ruined because somebody done it in their match. So Plan B was One Winged Angel, kick out at one, Stormbreaker, kick out at one, then finish. I was proud of that one, but being honest, the thing that will never leave me ever. Kenny allowing me to kick out of the One Wing Angel. The significance and the importance behind that move cannot be understated. He has protected that move for 14 years. The only person to ever kick out of it was Ibushi, who was his long-time tag partner. The fact that he allowed me, and you think about the historical feuds that he’s had: Okada, Tana, Ibushi, Hangman, and he saved it for me. That’s like one of the biggest honors and the biggest accomplishments I think I’ve ever been given as a performer, as a wrestler.”

Do you get the feeling that Kenny Omega is starting to wind down his career; he might not have any other big matches like this?

“I think people need to realize how much of a toll it takes on Kenny after his illness, and I don’t know the preparation that he done to get into this match, but there were a few shows that he couldn’t do because of how he’s feeling. I want to believe that he’s still going to be doing some type of big matches, but at that level, I really do not know. That’s a question that you probably will have to ask Kenny. But at 42 years old, for 10 years he’s been the best wrestler in the world. There was a symbolism from some anime show, a name escapes me from what it was, of a character passing down his powers to the next generation, and that was crazy. That is me.”

With your injury, did you ever have to come to terms with I may not ever wrestle again?

“I don’t know if I had that thought, but I had the thought of I don’t think I’ll be able to wrestle the style that I’ve popularized so much, and I think that was a thing that really broke me a little bit because I just wanted to be able to perform the way that I performed and the way that I envisioned my pro wrestling, and I’d never once considered that I needed surgery. Even with everything that was going through with my neck, I never once thought it was as bad as I needed a double fusion. I never once thought about that, to be honest with you. But the moment that it became apparent, my first question was going to be can I still wrestle again? They said ‘Yes, but there’s going to be limitations.’ You can’t do this anymore, you can’t do that anymore.

Do you know, the one thing that they said to me, and I talked to Cope about this because there was this kind of like, ‘Yeah, you probably can’t take any more reverse Ranas ever again.’ I just had this moment of like, what!? What do you mean I can’t take a reverse Rana? It’s like my go-to. Strike, strike, strike, something, reverse Rana, bam, everybody lay down, right? That’s kind of like my go-to, but it blew my mind because it wasn’t those moves that messed up my neck and went down my arm. It was every time I took a back bump, my arm would just shut off. So it was just kind of like, oh man, that’s so weird. And obviously, Cope would pull me to one side [and said] ‘No one cares about a reverse Rana. They care about you.’ But obviously, once my surgery was done on the rehab side, it was just kind of okay, let’s play around to see what we can do. Obviously I went straight into the feud with Moxley and the Death Riders. There was one show that we did, I can’t remember where it was, but I think we was with the United Empire Boys, and Moxley just out of nowhere just goes ‘Take a piledriver,’ and I hadn’t taken one in ages. I was like, oh, this is one of the moves I wasn’t meant to be taking. Fine. Then after that, it was just kind of like, all right. When we wrestle at Dynasty, we’ll do it again, but we’ll up it a little bit more. Absolutely fine. It was just kind of like, oh, okay. I actually can do relatively all the things that I did beforehand.”

AEW honors Rebel at Dynamite: Rebel Heart

AEW paid tribute to Tanea Brooks, better known to fans as Rebel, yesterday on Dynamite as she battles through ALS.

Rebel, and her longtime friend Britt Baker, kicked off the broadcast with The Waiting Room, featuring special guests Persephone and Hikaru Shida.

Later in the broadcast, Baker, Persephone, and Shida teamed up to take on Maya World, Hyan, and Thunder Rosa in a trios match which had an emotional ending, sending the crowd into tears.

As the match came to a close, Rebel came down the ramp in her wheelchair and gave Baker her glove. Baker, clearly trying not to cry, put them on and submitted World with the Lockjaw finisher while Shida hugged Rebel at ringside.

After the match, Baker sat on Rebel’s lap and the two went up the ramp on the wheelchair. As they turned around, both of them were shown crying, ending one of the most feel-good moments ever on Dynamite.

A video package on Rebel, her role in AEW, and her fight against ALS aired immediately after.

Rob Conway talks La Resistance, being fired on live TV, wrestling John Cena, and more

Former WWE star Rob Conway sat down with Chris Van Vliet in Nashville, Tennessee to discuss having early matches with John Cena and Brock Lesnar in OVW, how he was selected to be in the La Résistance faction with Sylvain Grenier and René Duprée, fans hating the group, why he doesn’t like his “Just Look At Me” theme, being fired on live TV by Vince McMahon, getting beaten up by WWE legends, and more!

How did you get called up to be part of La Resistance?

“So Renee had already been in OVW for like a year or so, and then Sylvain came, he was a referee at Hulk Hogan versus The Rock or something. He was learning to wrestle, but he was already under contract, and they sent him to OVW, and he wasn’t real popular with the other guys, because he got into the business from not going the indie route and stuff like that. Back then, they were a little tougher on the Tough Enough guys and stuff like that, because everybody, for the most part, was still coming up through two or three years of the grind. But I hit it off with him; he’s a fun guy. So they were going to bring me up, and I went to TV, and I had hair like I’ve got now. It’s a little bit longer, blonde hair, curly. I wore white and pink trunks, and they brought me up specifically to team with Stevie Richards, and Victoria was going to be my girlfriend, and they were going to call me the Golden Boy, and I was going to wrestle Tommy Dreamer, and we already had the match planned out. That was my TV debut as an actual character.

About an hour before the show starts, John Laurinaitis came to me and says, ‘Hey, Robbie, we should change your match tonight, and you’re not on the road next week.’ Because I’d already got an itinerary that I was going to be on four nights a week, and that’s pretty much there goes your dreams. But [he said], ‘We are going to bring you to TV next week. We think we got something better.’ I was like, okay. So they called me during the week, you see that number, and you think either something good or something terrible. They told me to get a military outfit, so I went with my dad, he had got drafted in the army, so he was in the army at one point, and we went to army surplus store. I got the nicest army outfit you could imagine, even said R. Conway on. I think I made myself a sergeant. We don’t want to be like a four-star general at 29. So I got to TV, and they said, ‘Let’s see it.’ I showed it to them, and they said, ‘That is beautiful, but we can’t use it because the army is one of our sponsors. So the seamstress backstage, her husband was retired from the Air Force. I’m not sure, that must have been where they live, because she brought that uniform. So I debuted in the uniform with La Resistance that night, but first they set me down in a chair and cut off all my hair. I actually sat with Robbie Roode, Tyson Dukes and Showtime Eric Young, that’s first time I met him. So yeah, I had an outdated Air Force uniform on, and they gave me tickets, and there was a girl backstage, it was an extra too, so we went through the front with the ticket. I sat in the front row with my cell phone, just in case they decided to do something different, and I ended up coming out of the crowd and leaving the Dudleys laying and joining La Resistance.”

People hated you guys!

“They never stopped hating us. They broke us up way too soon, like you took one faction that had more heat than anybody and broke us up into three not that strong of characters. So I felt like it was kind of a demotion when they broke us up. Went from being all the shows, being on pay-per-views, to having bad music, and being on middle to low card, having bad music.”

You didn’t like your theme song?

“I don’t think anybody actually likes it. I think they get a kick out of it, because it’s kind of funny, but if you were getting ready to bench press 300 pounds, you wouldn’t say, let me throw on Just Look At Me. Let’s say, a month before I come out with La Resistance, the crowd is going crazy. You switch it to that lounge music, and I think Stone Cold could have walked out to it, and people be like, who’s this guy, and why is this music like it is?”

There’s people online that say that’s their favorite theme song of all time. So, you hate it?

“I’m just not a big fan. I call it a crowd killer. At the gym that I go to, sometimes I’ll walk in and they’ll switch the music, and I’ll look up. They’ve got my action figures and stuff up, but yeah, they know when I look at them like, come on.”

Did you have any say in what that music would sound?

“I had absolutely no say. As a matter of fact, the first time they played it, I was in Gorilla, and I think Kerwin White had just had a match. When they played my music, I thought they were playing his exit music, and Jerry Brisco was like, ‘That’s your music, go. ‘ I was like, oh no.”

But you got to a point where you were clearly embracing that theme song, you were singing it as you were walking down the aisle. Whether you like the song or not, it’s become synonymous with the Rob Conway character.

“I mean, when you’re a professional. I’ve wrestled people that I don’t get along with. But when you’re out there, you do make the most of it. I mean, it’s your time to shine, and your entrance. Even though I didn’t like the music, is the only time that, for the most part, it’s 100% focused on you.”

Why does the singer of your theme song have a French accent?

“Everybody thinks it’s Randy Newman from Toy Story. They all think that they used to think it was him, now they call it a knockoff of his. But the thing is, when I first heard it and went out, I was like, is there any way we could speed it up a little bit? Jim Johnston, I guess, got upset about that, so it’s like now I had heat with the office because I didn’t like my own theme song that I had no part in and have anything to do with.”

When you got beat by Jeff Hardy in 21 seconds, did they tell you a number, did they say the match has to be 20 seconds or less?

“No. So the backstory on that is that I had done a show in OVW with Renee, and he hit, I believe, Ryback before he was Ryback with the flag, and the flag wrapped around and hit me in the face. So I ended up breaking my nose and having a deviated septum, so we had a little time off for Christmas. I had nose surgery because I could hardly breathe out of one side. So they contacted me and said, ‘Hey, we want to do this thing, we’re going to put you and Sylvain back together on SmackDown. But we’re going to have you get fired on TV.’ So the wording has to be, I will quit Raw, not the company, if I don’t win. So I said, ‘Well, I’m not cleared to wrestle. I just had surgery like five days ago.’ They’re like, ‘Well, we’ll just fly you in and have our doctors take a look at you.’ So originally the match was supposed to be just like a normal three or four or five-minute match. The match was irrelevant, it was the promo, and to get Vince. I was like, man, I can’t get hit in the face. I wasn’t in great shape. Still taking pain meds. So then the match kept getting shorter and shorter, and I was like, what about this? How about I just start off on him and shoot him in, and he does the sunset flip out of the corner, 1, 2, 3, and I’m like, oh no. They’re like, okay. Everybody likes Jeff, but I mean, if he had hit me in the face, I don’t even know what would happen if I would have started fighting back. So we were doing everything we could just to get from I’ll quit Raw to losing to Vince saying you can’t quit, you’re fired. Then I was already getting gear made to wrestle on SmackDown with Sylvain.”

What happened?

“Just so you know, my contract ran over in January, so I got fired on TV January 1. Well, because my contract rolled over, I was not on the road, so I was sitting at home getting paid full paychecks, and they had to keep me off TV till after WrestleMania, because the whole ‘You’re fired’ was to spark the angle between Vince and Donald Trump. So if I showed up two weeks later, he didn’t do a very good job of firing me. So after WrestleMania, then I was supposed to start on SmackDown with Sylvain, because together we were gold, separately they didn’t really do that much with either one of us. So I was getting gear made. So whenever WrestleMania came and went, and they didn’t call me up to do it. I started thinking, man, I’m getting paid, so if I had already made my guarantee, then I’d be sent at home not getting paid. But the way it worked out, I was getting a full paycheck. I was thinking either do something with me or let me go. If they did let me go, it’s not like if I did six months later I wouldn’t be like, yeah, I’ll come back. Who’s gonna say no to that kind of money?”
But people think that Vince firing you on TV was essentially real
“It kind of hurt my stock, so to speak, because most people get fired, released, and then 90 days, and you can start on TV. Well, I was off TV until I got released, I think, in May, and they kept paying me till August, but I’d been off TV for nine months. People thought I got fired on TV. So it literally was like I’m the only guy who got fired on TV and really seemingly got fired.”

Bayley not signed to new WWE deal yet

PWInsider.com is reporting that Bayley has not signed a new WWE deal despite other industry insiders claiming as such.

The report states that Bayley still have a few months left on her current contract, although the fact that she did return now seems likely that the former multi-time champion is leaning towards staying with the promotion. It also said that there were “no conversations” about her inking a new deal considering the amount left on her current deal.

Bayley spent two months off WWE television following her loss to Lyra Valkyria on the July 18 Saturday Night’s Main Event as rumors circulated that she was on her way out of WWE.

Several cryptic posts on social media both from her and from her best friend Mercedes Mone also added fuel to the fire that she was moving away from WWE and joining AEW.

D’Angelo, Rook, and Shugars to square off in a number one contender’s match for NXT title

A triple threat number one contender’s match for the NXT title will be held next week to see who will be facing new champion Grayson Waller.

The match will pit Tony D’Angelo vs Mason Rook vs Saquon Shugars after the trio won a six-man tag team match against Cruz Montana, EK Prosper, and Keanu Carver. The stipulation was that members of the winning team would then face each other for a spot against Waller.

The Australian Waller won the NXT title in a fatal four-way match at Heatwave last month, beating D’Angelo, Montana, and Zilla Fatu for his first singles title.

Senator Glenn Jacobs? It could happen!

While Glenn Jacobs is done as a Knox County mayor, his time in politics seems far from over.

Axios is reporting that the WWE Hall of Famer, known to many as Kane, is one of the top candidates to take over a seat in the Senate after current Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn departs the office for a governor job.

If Blackburn wins her November election, she is then free to appoint a replacement, with Jacobs in the running for the position.

The former WWE champion spent eight years as mayor and wrapped up his duties at the beginning of the month.

Raw views for 08/31/2026

Raw

Raw on August 31 failed to crack the Netflix top 10 global chart for the first time since January 26. It is the third time this year that Raw did not place in the chart.

The global chart listed the #10 show with 1,800,000 viewers and the pre-taped Raw must have done either lower than that or Netflix simply did not factor in the charts.

Going over the usual countries where Raw charts every week, none of them showed Raw anywhere in the top 10, which leads to believe that the taped episode was simply not part of this week’s rankings.

Netflix will eventually release the number of the show in January during the bi-annual data dump of all the shows streaming on the service.

TKO President Mark Shapiro says WWE is working with Disney for some special events in 2027

WWE logo

Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, TKO President and Chief Operating Officer Mark Shapiro said that WWE is working with Disney to produce a few special events throughout 2027.

WWE already has a relationship with Disney through ESPN, which is owned by the media conglomerate.

Shapiro said that their main audience is families and advertisers take note of that.

“Frankly, I’m excited about 2027 as we’re working with the Walt Disney Company on some special events around Disney and WWE and bringing those two audiences together since, of course, what do they have in common? Family,” Shapiro said.

On the topic of premium live events on ESPN, Shapiro said that WWE is performing well on the platform but they’re hoping to do even better now that YouTube TV finally integrated the ESPN app fully into their system.

Pharaoh, Cody Rhodes’ famous Husky dog, passes away

Cody Rhodes’ famous dog, Pharaoh, has passed away.

The news was announced by Rhodes himself in a touching post on social media, describing Pharaoh as the crisis dog who was always there when there was a crisis.

“He was always with us, and when my world got turned upside down…he sat outside with me looking at the Texas stars until the sky started to shift and he pressed his head against me firmly in a way that let me know he understood,” Cody wrote. “It goes without saying, he was a good boy. My best man.”

Pharaoh was also well known within the wrestling industry, making several appearances with Rhodes in AEW and also in WWE.

“He’d go on to do multiple charity meet/greets for some of the best shelters in the country. He was a Chewy’ champion. Mattel fig! Opponent of the Rock. I knew he was a true alpha when he would just let Yeti bite his face. He was part of the Rhodes’ wrestling family,” he continued.

Rhodes noted that huskies need a job, and his dog didn’t know his job until Liberty was born, where he was ever-present through almost every photo, right beside her, as if he wanted to protect her all the time.

“The last thing I told you before you went to forever sleep, you did your job. We love you,”

Netflix Vice President of Global Live Sports and Entertainment says they are thrilled with WWE

Netflix Vice President of Global Live Sports and Entertainment, Gabe Spitzer, said that the company is thrilled with the current partnership with WWE and shows have been hitting every metric that Netflix hoped for.

Appearing on the Sports Media podcast with Richard Deitsch, Spitzer described Paul Levesque, Lee Fitting, and Nick Khan as great partners and raved about WWE’s numbers both domestically and internationally.

“I think the place where we’ve been surprised in a good way and that will continue to grow is outside of the US,” Spitzer said. “That’s really where we see the potential to continue to grow this partnership is, in the US we have Raw only, outside of the US in most countries around the world, we’re the home for all of WWE. So that’s Raw, that’s Smackdown, that’s NXT, and that’s the big Premium Live Events every month, be it WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, or SummerSlam.”

He also put over the fact that WWE is willing to work with them as different countries are added to the WWE deal on Netflix, with Spitzer mentioning Clash in Italy, returning to Australia, and going to Mexico.
