Ric Flair’s last match has been finally announced and will see the two-time WWE Hall of Famer team up with his son-in-law and AEW star Andrade El Idolo to take on the team of WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal.
During a press conference for the match last month, Jarrett said that he’s not involved in the match and he was just there as a business partner for Conrad Thompson and representing Starrcast.
Jarrett will have a busy weekend in Nashville as he is also the special guest referee for The Usos vs The Street Profits tag team match at SummerSlam.
Jay Lethal has been training the Nature Boy for his last match and his inclusion is not a surprise.
Flair is said to have suffered a leg injury during training for this match but it’s an injury that will not keep him away from stepping foot inside the squared circle again.
The match headlines a card at Municipal Auditorium in Nashville on July 31. Tickets for the event remain available starting from $39 at ricflairslastmatch.com.
Years of resentment come to a head after @RealJeffJarrett is pushed too far.

A new episode of Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions will drop this Friday on Peacock and WWE Network and will feature former Intercontinental champion Sami Zayn as the special guest.
The 38-year-old honorary Uce has been working with WWE since 2013 and recently signed a new deal with the company.
Zayn was featured in one of the high-profile matches at WrestleMania this year with Hollywood star Johnny Knoxville. Their match received rave reviews from fans for the creativity and entertainment provided.
This is the 29th episode of Broken Skull Sessions and the sixth one for 2022 so far following episodes of Becky Lynch, Ron Simmons, Lita, Bubba Ray Dudley, Cody Rhodes, and Jeff Jarrett.
25-year-old AEW star AQA, real name Angela Arnold, wrote on Twitter that she is leaving the world of professional wrestling and thanked AEW for signing her.
It was in February of this year that Tony Khan announced that AQA got signed to a deal after she wrestled Jade Cargill for the TBS title. “She’s a shooting star, and now @_AQA10 is All Elite,” Khan wrote at the time.
AQA thanked her fans, promoters, and opponents who over the past few years taught her everything she knows about the business.
“At this time, I have decided to step away from professional wrestling for the immediate future. For the past few years, both mentally and physically, I have not been in a great place with wrestling, and silly me, I kept pushing through because I didn’t want to be seen as weak, but it only sucked the fun out of every opportunity I had,” she wrote in a statement. “I hope during this time I’ll be able to reflect deeply and see what path is best for me. Thank you AEW for granting me this time.”
Prior to joining AEW, AQA wrestled in NXT under the name of Zayda Ramier. She was released from WWE in November of last year.
Arnold was trained by Booker T at his pro wrestling school and often appeared on the Reality of Wrestling television shows. She also had a few matches with Impact Wrestling over the years.
WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has revealed that WWE has purchased the rights of a documentary which another company has produced.
During the latest episode of his podcast, Angle said that this documentary is more about his personal life and growing up before entering WWE. He acknowledged that WWE did “change it up” a little bit and made it more wrestling-oriented but said that they made a deal with them to air the original documentary on Peacock.
“We made a deal with them that this will air on Peacock next year…my previous documentary…before they actually added more WWE stuff to it,” Angle said, adding that this is a “well-rounded documentary.”
Angle is also part of the A&E Biography series and his episode will air later this month.
When it comes to professional wrestling these days, it’s not as easy as just looking at the results of the last few matches to decide who will be the next WWE superstar in the future or even the new reigning champ. There weren’t as many wrestlers in the old days, and the favourites were far fewer to pick from, but there are definitely a few that stand out this year.
We are going to take a look at some of the top favourites right now who could possibly be the next big superstar. In the near future, a time will come when someone needs to fill the spot as the company’s No.1 male wrestler.
Roman Reigns is undoubtedly the current WWE superstar, achieving all accolades. Currently holding both world titles and featuring in the main events in many WrestleMania’s. But there will come a time when the next line will step up. So let’s dive in and see who might have what it takes so you can use the sign-up offers betting companies run to place a bet on your favourite superstar.
Austin Theory’s character is not subtle about trying to portray that he is the next superstar, and his current progression shows that that might be the case. He’s attractive, young and athletic, and his character doesn’t weigh him down by being too comical. He doesn’t often fall victim to injuries, and he can stand in the ring next to any of the major names and portray a character that looks like he belongs in the ring with them.
Cody Rhodes has more to his name now than ever before. If it wasn’t for his current injuries, he would no doubt be holding the “Money in the Bank” briefcase. The world title could well be within his grasp as he is currently in the best position to take the title from Roman Reigns. It will come as no surprise if Rhodes becomes the superstar for all significant events in years to come.
Bron Breakker has already taken the NXT championship twice and is constantly mentioned as the next world champion. To his credit, if even your competition talks highly about you and they see him going far within this sport, that has to say something. Breakker can no doubt handle himself well in the ring and can take anything that comes his way, he also has a good feel for the mic, and fans react well to his flamboyant personality. When he is done with the NXT Championship and moves onto SmackDown and RAW, do not be surprised to see him edge his way to the top of the leaderboard.
Matt Riddle has repeatedly proven that he has what it takes to stay in the main events. Riddle has positioned himself well by establishing an entertaining character and showing he can take on any opponent threatening him in the ring. Riddle’s character comes off as fun and entertaining, which will undoubtedly be part of his success as fans get behind him and his storyline. Riddle ticks all the boxes needed for a superstar, he has the looks, wrestling talent and showmanship needed to rise to the top.
Montez Ford is currently paired up in a team with Angelo Dawkins, but when listening to the commentators as they keep hinting at signs of them splitting up and going their separate ways. It seems to be a trend within the organisation to create pairs just to split them up later. This might make for exciting TV, and who knows, there might be some other strategy behind it, but one thing that might be clear is that when Ford does go solo, he stands a much better chance to climb the ladder to the top. Ford also definitely has what it takes; still young and charismatic, and athletic, he is hitting all the marks that make a WWE superstar. He always puts on a good show, and the fact that he is married to Bianca Belair, the RAW women’s champion, will count in his favour.
Last but not least is Josh Briggs; he might be considered the underdog here.
He might not have accomplished as much as the competition, but he has had considerably less time to do so. He was already churning up the crowd before singing up with NXT as the Evolve Champion, keeping the championship belt for eight months, and since then, he has only gotten better.
Combined with his young age and size, Briggs is on the fast and upcoming track and is definitely one to look out for.
The WWE logo has been erected on the new WWE Headquarters in downtown Stamford, Connecticut. A photo of the building with the logo was snapped by New York Times bestselling author Kevin Sullivan.
Originally announced in 2019 but pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic, the new WWE HQ sits at 677 Washington Boulevard and will house all of WWE’s operations, including its production studios and corporate offices.
WWE is now targeting end of 2022 to move its 700+ workforce to its new home. The 13-story tower will feature other businesses as well, including tobacco giant Philip Morris International.
The building is located in Stamford’s central business district and provides greater access from various means of transportation and floor plans which allow for greater flexibility in workplace.
WWE leased the space for an initial term of approximately 16.5 years with five five-year renewal options thereafter. WWE expects to sell its owned and operated corporate facility at 1241 East Main Street, known as Titan Towers, and exit its leased spaces around the area.
The situation for Vince McMahon is about to get even worse as multiple insiders are reporting that more stories involving alleged inappropriate behavior will be coming out soon.
PWInsider.com reports that the same journalists behind the Wall Street Journal story are working on another big one that will further put McMahon into deeper trouble. The website says that the journalists have been trying to talk to former WWE female wrestlers for their input.
PWInsider also adds that HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel is working on a story on these allegations and are in the process to to get in touch with former female WWE employees to corroborate stories.
McMahon and WWE have so far refused to discuss the allegations apart from issuing a statement after the first hush money story came out. That story landed Vince into an investigation by the WWE Board of Directors.
John Cena and his wife Shay Shariatzadeh tied the knot for the second time in Vancouver on Friday.
The two originally got married on October 12, 2020 at an attorney’s office in Tampa, Florida, as their original wedding plans were slashed by coronavirus.
But now, the two said “I do” in front of family and friends at The Vancouver Club according to TMZ.COM. The bride wore a white halter cut, backless dress while Cena wore a navy-colored suit.
Cena is in Vancouver as filming on the second season of Peacemaker is underway.

Wrestlers from Impact Wrestling, NJPW, AAA, MLW, and others will be part of this card which takes place at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee as part of Starrcast V.

The show is only 14 days away and the two-time WWE Hall of Famer has been training everyday for this one final match.
Tickets for the event remain available starting from $39 at ricflairslastmatch.com.

PWInsider.com is reporting that Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are no longer under a contract with Impact Wrestling effective today.
Currently holding the Impact Tag Team titles, The Good Brothers came to Impact in July 2020 following their surprise release from WWE. The duo beat The Briscoes at Slammiversary last month for their third reign with the titles.
During their time in Impact, Anderson and Gallows appeared multiple times in All Elite Wrestling as part of the storyline with Kenny Omega when he was both AEW and Impact champion.
The two have committed themselves to still work for Impact on a per-appearance basis moving forward with the belief being that they will be working more with New Japan Pro Wrestling moving forward.

WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg spoke for the first time about defeating The Fiend for the Universal title at the Super ShowDown event in Saudi Arabia two years ago.
In an interview with CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjour for SHAK Wrestling, Goldberg rejected the suggestions that he went in and asked to win the title. Goldberg left to go to Saudi knowing he was going to lose the match but then, over the next hours, the decision was made to change the finish.
“It surely wasn’t me because it’s an extremely selfish move to do,” Goldberg said. “Vince gave me opportunities that maybe I didn’t deserve in the past. I owe that man just about everything.”
Goldberg said that that he never refused to put anyone over, except maybe once in WCW when he didn’t agree to lose to Chris Jericho in a comedy match.
“But not in a million years in that Fiend situation in Saudi would I have done that. No way in hell. I’d love to see him face-to-face and make sure there is not one percent of his being that believes that I changed that match,” Goldberg continued.
Two former NXT stars made an appearance during the AEW Dark tapings held yesterday at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
Parker Bordeaux, who wrestled in NXT as Harland, made his AEW debut during the tapings. Bordeaux had some big potential and had Paul Heyman as one of his biggest supporters in WWE. But that did not work out as he got cut in February of this year, just four months after debuting on NXT with Joe Gacy.
Also returning to AEW was Cole Karter, who up until a few months ago was known as Troy “Two Dimes” Donovan in NXT. He was released from WWE due to some violation just a couple of months after he was signed and put on TV with Tony D’Angelo.
Karter had wrestled before several times for AEW during Dark tapings.
In a press release issued today, Ring of Honor announced the restructuring of their HonorClub video service.
During the ongoing transformation, ROH will stop accepting new membership and any current memberships will be extended at no additional cost until the new platform is launched in early fall of this year.
Launched in 2018, HonorClub used a tiered-price model and the cheaper option was $9.99 per month with a 50% discount on ROH pay-per-views. The VIP service was $119.99 annually and also included live streaming of ROH PPV events.
Under the new model once launched, HonorClub will cost $9.99 per month and new content will be made available 60 days after events happen live, suggesting there will be no more ROH pay-per-views streaming on the service moving forward.
Death Before Dishonor will be streaming on Bleacher Report and all major cable and satellite providers for $39.99. International fans can catch the show on FITE.TV for $19.99.
The UK premium live event Clash at the Castle has surpassed the 60,000 ticket sales according to the ticket tracking service @WrestleTix.
As of today, 60,293 tickets have been moved for the Cardiff event and the stadium is currently set up for 71,810 seats, leaving just over 11,500 tickets remaining to be sold.
With the event taking place on September 3, the show is on course on being a complete sell out and a major push will start once SummerSlam is over.
WWE had over 100,000 pre-registrations for the Clash event earlier this year and a quick sell out was expected. However, insane ticket prices which rival any WrestleMania kept many fans at bay at the beginning.
The location of Cardiff is also not the ideal one for anyone traveling to the show, with no major airports servicing Wales, requiring a combo of air and rail transportation to get to the destination.
Hotels in the area have also bumped up their prices incredibly high, taking advantage of the thousands of fans who will probably spend the night in the city for the show.
This will be the first major stadium show in the United Kingdom in 30 years with the last one being SummerSlam 92 in Wembley.
Claudio Castagnoli will be getting a shot at the ROH World title at the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view on July 23.
The main event of the show was announced last night after Rampage when the Swiss Superman interrupted ROH World champion Jonathan Gresham who proclaimed himself as the best technical wrestler in the world and would be on AEW TV every week from now on.
Gresham, now part of Tully Blanchard Enterprises, last defended the ROH title at the Battle of the Belts II event in April against Dalton Castle.
Castagnoli worked for ROH between 2005 and 2011 but never won their major title. He is a former two-time ROH World Tag Team champion with Chris Hero.
Michael Cole is in the ring and welcomes everyone to Smackdown and then introduces Pat McAfee. Cole says that Pat just signed a multi-year deal to remain his broadcast partner on Friday nights.
As Pat enters the ring, he and Cole fist bump and Cole hands Pat the microphone. He wants to apologize to everyone for his absence last week. He says Corbin has only done one good thing in his whole WWE career and that is celebrate Shinsuke like Shinsuke should be celebrated.
Pat goes on saying how he and Corbin were roommates during their football playing days with the Colts. After a brief verbal altercation with Corbin on the screen, Pat announces the new Smackdown Women’s champion Liv Morgan.

Megan Morant interviews Theory backstage and gets interrupted by Paul Heyman who attempts to convince Theory that he should not cash in at SummerSlam and have him handle things with the Tribal Chief with a scheduled match for the championship. Theory says Heyman always offers great advice, but he is cashing in on either Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam to become the youngest champion in history and after he may need some special counsel of his own and will hire Heyman and walks away.
The Viking Raiders music hits but out come the New Day dressed as the Raiders. As the New Day make fun of the Raiders, the Raiders come out and say they are going to mangle the New Day. The New Day continue to make fun of the Raiders and called them ugly and as they make their way to the ring, Raiders get jumped by Jinder Mahal and Shanky. After the attack the New Day get back in the ring and dance with Shanky as Jinder looks on and just grins.
In the back, Kayla interviews Gunther and asks why he attacked Kaiser after his match with Shinsuke last week and Gunther said we will not lose and losing has consequences. Kaiser apologizes again and Gunther yelled at him and chops him again.
Aliyah VS. Lacey Evans
Prior to the match, Lacey gets the microphone and talks about the reaction she has been receiving and attempts to apologize to anyone she offended, and the crowd booed heavily and then says if you don’t accept my apology, you all can go to Hell and just walked out.
Winner: No match
Drew McIntyre VS. Ridge Holland
Butch grabs the ring bell before the match and Sheamus grabbed it off of him and said no and Butch hits the bell and the match starts.
Drew hits White Noise while looking at Sheamus and then hits a Claymore for the win
Winner: Drew McIntyre
Megan Morant was interviewing Madcap Moss in the back prior to his match and Paul Heyman came in to interrupt and started giving Moss a similar talk that he gave to Theory and said if he could do to Theory what he did to Happy Corbin and put him out of action for a while that would give Heyman ammunition to go to Roman Reigns and convince the Tribal Chief to have a championship match with Moss. Moss said it sounds like your really worried about Theory cashing in at SummerSlam then left to his music playing.
We go to break after Moss makes his way to the ring, as we come back from break, they show an advertisement for Maximum Male Models and announce next week we are going to meet Maxxine Dupri, Max’s sister!
Theory VS. Madcap Moss

Sami Zayn comes out and berates Theory for disrespecting the Tribal Chief. He says by doing so, there are consequences and as a representative of the Bloodline, he demands an apology right now.
Theory called him a Bloodline suck up and asks Zayn what’s he going to do about it? The Usos music starts playing and they come out and Theory starts backing up and backs right into Moss who grabs him and rams him into the corner post of the ring and then hands him the briefcase back and throws him into the timekeepers’ area.
Jimmy Uso VS. Angelo Dawkins
Uso hits a superkick, but the referee is knocked out. Dawkins hits a sky-high and pins Uso, but Jimmy’s shoulder was clearly up.
Winner: Angelo Dawkins
After the match, Adam Pearce comes out and announces The Street Profits are upset about the way things went down at Money in the Bank and The Usos are upset about tonight and he has personally found the perfect referee for their match at SummerSlam. He then announces Double J Jeff Jarrett will be the special referee. With that, Usos and The Street Profits start fighting again. Referees come out to attempt to break up the action, but the brawl continued as Smackdown goes off the air.
WWE announced yesterday that Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett will be the special guest referee for The Usos vs The Street Profits match for the undisputed WWE Tag Team titles at SummerSlam.
Jarrett, now occupying the corporate job of Senior Vice President of WWE Live Events, last appeared on WWE television in a backstage segment with Rick Boogs and Shinsuke Nakamura in January of this year.
The Usos and The Street Profits had some incredible matches, including one at Money In The Bank which ended with Montez Ford getting pinned despite his shoulders not being down.
