Ring Of Honor has announced plans to go on hiatus after the Final Battle pay-per-view in December. A tweet posted on the official company account notes that they now find themselves in a position where they need to make some changes after not running events for 18 months because of the pandemic. At the end of the statement, they noted that they “anticipate” a return in April for Super Card of Honor and a new “fan-focused product.”  Dave Meltzer also noted that ROH will come out of their hiatus operating more as an independent promotion. This will be the same as larger indie promotions like PWG and GCW where they bring in top talents for shows. However, this will make it difficult for champions as there is no guarantee they can make every show, and there is a chance they could get signed and not be able to drop the title on their show. For example, when MSK was signed to WWE, they were PWG World Tag Team Champions at the time and never lost the titles on a PWG show.

Sinclair Broadcasting has reached a deal with Women of Wrestling with programming to start airing in fall 2022. It was previously announced new episodes of WOW will launch in weekend syndication beginning in the fall of 2022 on ViacomCBS stations.  WOW announced its relaunch on October 6 with Jeanie Buss heading the organization. AJ Lee will serve as an executive producer.

Producer/writer for the Dark Side OF The Ring series Evan Husney  Recently posted a comment on Twitter hinting at a possible future episode of Dark Side OF The Ring. Critically acclaimed and controversial Vice Dark Side of The Ring Series is currently on Season 3 and has received raved reviews on its recent episodes featuring the stories of Chris Kanyon, The wrestling promotion FMW and XPW and the story of Luna Vachon.   A post on wrestler Chris Colt influenced Evan Husneys response via Twitter.  Evan Husney reposted the Chris colt post and left the comment “SEASON 4?”   Colt was a unique performer who wore Alice Cooper-type makeup and was unique at the time in that he used intro music as well as exit music which was less common back in the day. He would make his way to the ring to "Welcome to My Nightmare" while leaving to "No More Mr. Nice Guy", both songs by Alice Cooper. In the Fall of 1976, Ronnie Dupree died of a heart attack during a gig as a ring announcer. He was in his early forties. Colt carried on his career as a singles wrestler. He dropped the biker gimmick and re-invented his character as a hard rocker. He was active until 1986 but took on fewer gigs over time. In an infamous incident in Phoenix that took place in 1975,  Chris Colt hallucinated during a cage match seeing spiders all around. He fled the venue fighting with both the fans and arena security. Colt passed away in Seattle in 1996. Many feel Colt was way ahead of his time in so many aspects.. In terms of the art form that is wrestling, he used entrance music years before it became popular, outrageous costumes, and face make-up as well. He always worked the crowd and even innovated moves that were spectacular at the time; his third rope flying elbow broke ground as a finisher in an age when a body slam was a viable finish.  Is this an episode you would want to see included in Dark Side of The ring season 4?

A scary moment occurred during the Saturday Night Edition of AEW Dynamite when Lance Archer appeared to be badly hurt during his AEW World Title tournament match against Eddie Kingston.  Late in the match, Archer attempted a moon sault off the top rope but Kingston moved and Archer landed on his head. More specifically on a weird spot more towards the tip of the forehead, With his weight crashing down on the neck. The referee and Doc Sampson checked on Archer by ringside as it looked like the match was about to be called off.  Archer then rolled back in the ring and Kingston quickly rolled him up for the pin. Archer was checked on again after the match was over. Although not known how severe the injury is , Archer wasn’t able to immediately get back up on his feet and looked visibly stunned and shook.  Lance Archer responded later on via Twitter and stated:  "Listen.

On Friday’s WWE SmackDown, Becky Lynch and Charlotte were set to exchange titles as each woman are now on opposite brands, due to the new WWE draft being implemented.   Charlotte was to hand the title over to Lynch, but it ended up being thrown on the mat which was alledgely not planned and off script. Lynch threw her title at Charlotte hard, which was also not planned. Once Sasha Banks got into the segment, things went ahead as normal. The two Superstars  That Being Becky and Charlotte , reportedly were heated backstage, but didn’t get physical. As per the PWINSIDER report, when Flair and Lynch returned backstage after their Championship Exchange segment, there “were loud words between the two” over Flair allegedly disrespecting Lynch by “trying to make her look bad” during the segment. Prior to the show, Flair had reportedly voiced concerns about the idea of a segment featuring her and Lynch trading championship belts. Flair made it clear that she “didn’t want to look weak” nor did she want her title reign to look weak. Despite those concerns, her segment with Lynch went on as planned. The show-closing segment with Lynch and Flair, hosted by Sonya Deville, was interrupted by Sasha Banks, right after Flair proposed a “Winner Takes All” match. Lynch ended up leaving and promising to see one of them at the WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view on November 21.   In a report by Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT, Charlotte was supposed to play “cat and mouse” with the title with Lynch getting a hand on it before Charlotte would pull it back. There was a quote “timing mistake” between the two that caused the title to drop. But Was it a Timing mistake or just EGO? The report noted behind-the-scenes Lynch and Charlotte have a “strained” friendship. Charlotte wasn’t a fan of being called “plastic” in a promo a couple years ago and things have been tense ever since. Back at the gorilla position — where Vince McMahon was — Charlotte walked through the room and didn’t talk to Vince about what happened. Vince was described as being not happy with that. Charlotte was also apparently heading to Orlando for AEW Dynamite to support Andrade. In other Charlotte backstage news, she pitched that Bianca Belair wins their match on Monday’s RAW that ended up in a DQ after Charlotte used a chair on Belair. Charlotte is said to be a huge fan of Belair and thought the finish “killed what could have been a big win” for Belair.
