Tales of The Wrestling Tapes hosted by Eric! The Tribal Chief Epic reaches a seminal moment in Roman Reigns vs. Edge!

STORY

At WrestleMania 37 in April, Roman Reigns defeated Edge and Daniel Bryan in a triple threat match to retain the Universal Championship. On the June 25 episode of SmackDown, Reigns and his special counsel Paul Heyman had a Universal Championship address. Heyman stated that Reigns had defeated all of SmackDown's top contenders and that there was no one left to challenge Reigns. Edge then made a surprise return after a two-month hiatus and attacked Reigns and also took out Jimmy Uso, who had come to Reigns' aid. On Talking Smack the next day, it was revealed that Edge had confronted WWE officials Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville and demanded a one-on-one match against Reigns for the title at Money in the Bank, which he was originally supposed to have at WrestleMania before Bryan worked his way into the match. Pearce then granted him the match.

Not only that but rumors of a certain WWE Megastar is on sight to fight Roman Reigns in the next big chapter in The Tribal Chief Epic at SummerSlam as Roman Reigns will make it to a near year-long reign as WWE Universal Champion.

Jon Moxley defended his title against Karl Anderson and AAA/Impact/AEW World Champion Kenny Omega faces a war on two fronts with Hangman Adam Page and Sami Callihan as Deonna Purrazzo faces a Thundering force at Slammiversary

AEW Dynamite Preview for July 14, 2021 (allelitewrestling.com)

He took that first step; one week ago “Hangman” Adam Page took that first step in facing down the fears that The Dark Order laid out before the world a week prior to that. It's not fear of Kenny Omega, it's not fear of The Elite, but rather fear of failure at the highest level that eats at him. It is the fear of repeating the past and failing to capture the AEW World Title as he did in 2019 at the very first ALL OUT when he and Chris Jericho squared off to become the first. It's the fear of coming up short should Adam actually hold onto this number one spot in the rankings and be slated as the next challenger for Kenny Omega and that championship.

But last Wednesday night, Page did something that he has not done since November when Omega beat him at FULL GEAR 2020 in the World Title Eliminator Tournament Finals, something he has gone out of his way to avoid doing, Adam actually looked his former World Tag Team Championship partner in the eyes. He did not back down or turn away, Hangman did the one thing his friends in The Dark Order encouraged him to do, he faced his fears, and guess what? It wasn't Hangman who blinked, it was the AEW World Champion who bailed, and that leaves the question of if Omega, who so callously disregarded Page back in November, now finds himself scared of his former championship partner?

On Wednesday night, Hangman will join FYTER FEST 2021: NIGHT ONE to share what's going on in his head following this confrontation, and wherever he may be in the arena, no doubt Kenny Omega will be all ears for this one!

Our World Changes Again at Slammiversary – IMPACT Wrestling

Don Callis did everything in his power to keep Sami Callihan away from IMPACT World Champion Kenny Omega, including firing him at Against All Odds! But after the Anthem board of directors reversed his decision and instead fired Callis from his role as IMPACT Executive Vice President, the main event for Slammiversary was made official – Kenny Omega will defend the IMPACT World Championship against Sami Callihan in a No DQ match! As Callihan looks to bring the IMPACT World Title back home, are Omega’s days as champion numbered?

Deonna Purrazzo has proven to be one of the most dominant Knockouts Champions of all time. Having defeated all who stood in front of her, “The Virtuosa” was left without a challenger for Slammiversary. That is, until IMPACT Hall of Famer Gail Kim announced that Purrazzo would be defending her title against a mystery opponent of management’s choosing! On a night where our world changes again, who will answer the call for a Knockouts Title opportunity?
