His final match was on the April 30th edition of SmackDown in which he challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship, one final shot at the title after already having lost in the main event of WrestleMania 37. Bryan would lose to The Tribal Chief and then was banished from the show, a stipulation he agreed to in order to secure the match against Roman Reigns. Cole had been with NXT since 2017 and not only served as a founding member of Undisputed Era but also as the longest-reigning champion in NXT history. Cole had his last in-ring appearance with NXT at NXT Takeover 36, and he had not signed a new contract as of that weekend. Cole's WWE contract (with the short-term extension) was actually up on Friday, August 27th.

On the September 3rd edition of WWE Smackdown, there was a commercial for the September 14th edition of NXT. In addition to the new logo which you may have seen recently, there were teases of what the new Capitol Wrestling Center will look like. The weekly WWE NXT show will reportedly not be directly produced by WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon and Senior Vice President & Executive Director Bruce Prichard with the upcoming revamp that kicks off this month but they will be closely overseeing all the new changes very closely.  McMahon and Prichard will be behind the big decisions for the NXT brand, but not the smaller ones. They will also be responsible for the marketing, promotion and direction of the NXT brand. It was also said that NXT will be like “the old NXT” moving forward.  While McMahon and Prichard won’t be directly producing the weekly NXT TV show, Vince remains in charge of everything in WWE, and there have been and will continue to be more big-picture decisions on the NXT brand that are made by higher-ups in the company and those outside of the NXT circle, including decisions related to creative, branding and marketing.

Welcome back to Sidenote Suplex on Youtube.   The advertised matches for this past Monday Night Raw were changed last minute and it seems a new direction is being taken with Charlotte as of right now. Many thought after the appearance of Alexa Bliss lAST week  that we would see a build of Bliss vs Charlotte..But plans as they do in WWE often change and we got a matchup between Charlotte and Niz Jax.   Nia Jax ended up getting the win over WWE Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair in a non-title match on Raw, but it was a rough and awkward match that many fans were talking about even Mick Foley himself didn’t understand what he was seeing. In the Match, there seemed to be a shoot situation that went down With Charlotte and Nia dishing out some real blows.    It seemed that both women appeared to be agitated with each other. There were hard slaps and kicks towards the end. Flair stopped a Samoan Drop spot and did an awkward Scorpion Death Drop. Fans even speculated that they were   shooting on each other as their frustration continued to build.   PWinsider.com provided some details on what happened in the match after talking with several sources. Per the report, the match did go out of control and there were some real slaps and punches thrown after there was some sort of breakdown in communication.  A brief but legitimate confrontation inside the ring. Once the match was coming towards the end, they got back on the same page and went to the original finish. After the match, it was said there was no issue backstage between the two. Following Jax’s win, it appears WWE will book a title match between Flair and Jax at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event next month, although that has yet to be confirmed. The was Two different moments where Jax dumped Flair unevenly on her head or the side of her shoulder. The Bump wasn’t flat back at all. What was different last night though than from past situations, was that Flair appeared to be having none of it and noticeably gave Jax some "receipts".  Charlotte Flair looked pissed after the botched slam by Nia Jax and after taking a moment to compose herself, responded by repeatedly slapping Jax in the face. It looked like at one point Charlotte was getting ready to throw a solid closed fist punch, but held off.  Nia was making her presence known throughout raw on last nights episode but did she take it too far…..once again?   This isn’t the first time Nia has injured women talent in the WWE.  She has been reported as allegedly inadvertently injuring Alexa Bliss, Kairi Sane, Zelina Vega, Bayley, Ember Moon, Mandy Rose and of course Becky Lynch,  in recent years in the ring.  But Is she getting a pass? If Charlotte did get injured last night, how would WWE feel? Would they regret their booking? That is one of their current bread and butter wrestlers of the company. Meaning someone they can count on for the show to go on. This is why the belt is often on her…Things of course happen in the ring..but are these incidents more than accidents? Is this more carelessness and a disregard for consequences?

The date of August 20th 2021 will go down in Pro Wrestling history… CM Punk arrives in All Elite Wrestling during AEW RAMPAGE on TNT Televison.   On August 20, 2021, CM Punk made his AEW debut on The First Dance edition of Rampage. This was his first time in the ring since leaving WWE back in 2014.  Punk immediately thanked the audience in a very emotional moment for the 7 years of chanting his name. Now, he is looking towards the future and it is not part-time. CM Punk returned at the house made famous by Michael Jordan and made his return channeling the great Jordan. Michael Jordan famously issued the same "I'm back" statement when he returned to the NBA in March 1995 after retiring following the 1993 season following his third straight NBA Championship. Cult of personality hit and the pop was felt through the TV. Punk walked out to a beautiful reception. There was shock….There were tears…What many fans thought would never happen was indeed unfolding in front of our eyes….

Punk opened up the second episode of AEW Rampage by saying he couldn't explain everything now, but he will have time Wednesdays, Fridays, and four Saturdays/Sundays a year. CM Punk coming to AEW wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. During a post-show media scrum, Punk was asked about the decision to return now and what has changed in the past couple of years. He said the following:  "I'll go ahead and spoil that I've been talking to Tony for probably a year and a half about this. Some girls are easy to get into bed. I am not. I need to do wined and dined. That's not, 'oh I need more money and less dates' and 'oh I need this and I need that.' It was literally just talking to Tony and getting to know him, and the more people that he employed that I knew, I'd ask them questions and they'd tell me things.

I've been in the game for a few minutes, you know, so I've seen that. I think I traced it back to, especially since the downfall of ECW, every six months to a year, somebody pops up, 'I have money, we're gonna have TV and we're going to use all the ECW guys.' This is not a slight on Tony at all. It's more of, it's more of a slight at me being a paranoid, neurotic, anxiety-ridden, very careful person, and I wasn't in a hurry. The pandemic kind of help that out, you know, and I knew I couldn't debut if there's no people in the building. So, I always say, timing is everything, and there were a lot of happy accidents along the way that made this possible."  Punk famously left WWE in January 2014 following the Royal Rumble and stayed away from the ring until his return on Friday. He went on to become a UFC fighter and star in a handful of movies before joining WWE Backstage in November 2019 as a special analyst before the show was canceled as a weekly show in June 2020 due to the pandemic. Punk did make two Independent appearances during his time away from wrestling, both times under a mask.     CM PUNK will make his first appearance on AEW Dynamite THIS WEDNESDAY, August 25th in Milwaukee!    Punk said he's back to work the young guys, calling out Darby Allin.  Punk said he's here to help Allin because he likes danger and there's nothing more dangerous than wrestling CM Punk in Chicago. He said he'll see Allin, Sting, and everyone else at AEW All Out.  It was confirmed on commentary that Allin will face Punk at AEW All Out on September 5th.

Welcome back to Sidenote Suplex.  In journalism and reporting, there are options on how to curate and deliver content. As a journalist, you’re responsible for your product. If you don’t care to get things right…why should an individual consume your product. Is the consumer not coming to you for the scoop or the facts on the situation? So you can't get mad when you don’t get taken seriously or cant establish yourself among the greats within the industry you’re attempting to make a mark in.  Are you running a professional operation or is this just a personal diary of sorts..A fan club to get your own ego over? Do you cite work? Do you leave links to the information collected? Report rumors as facts? Do any of your own independent research? Do you even care?  There are many ways to deliver content. Not saying one is particularly better than the other I'm just saying . Identify yours! ..stand on it..and take what comes with that…  I say all that as a precursor to today's topic…Ringside News vs Fuego de sol.  Ringside News is notorious within wrestling media as having more of a TMZ, Bossip, world star,  reporting style, and ethic.  They even have recently came on the radar of WWE When the WWE on Fox Facebook account stated in 2020:  'Guys, we usually don't interject, but when it comes to serious stuff we will. Ringsidenews, especially Brad Shepard, isn't a trusted 'news source' about anything. Please do not listen to them. Do as you will with other journalists, we won't promote anyone here, but avoid Ringsidenews - especially when it comes to something as serious as this.’  Well, the controversy recently continued from  Ringside News but it seems this is something they wanted. And maybe this is a part of their journalist style. Recently signed AEW talent Fuego Del Sol took to social media recently and posted a direct message from the company.  Fuego was offered an AEW contract on the premiere episode of AEW rampage after losing to TNT Television champion Miro.  Ringside News Spent the rest of  day on Twitter posting other tweets that many would describe as continued trolling.    Ringside News recently added an update to their article on their website titled “when Fuego del sol really received AEW contract” "After speaking with Fuego Del Sol, he has stated that his contract was actually offered that night on AEW Rampage. We apologize for any misunderstanding."

Welcome back to Sidenote Suplex. There has been a lot of internal talk about major changes being planned for the WWE NXT brand, according to PWInsider. Changes being discussed include a new NXT logo, new lighting and overall look, a different format to the weekly TV show, and a focus on the younger talents. As noted, WWE released many NXT talents this past Friday while SmackDown on FOX aired. It was noted that the planned changes appear to be related to the cuts.  During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com provided new details regarding how WWE reportedly plans to change the NXT brand. Here is what Meltzer said regarding the 13 NXT stars that were released and changes that are expected to be made: “Paul Levesque [Triple H] and Shawn Michaels didn’t have anything to do with the cuts. It was done by Vince McMahon, Bruce Prichard, and John Laurinaitis and the basic gist is that NXT is gonna change in some ways. They think the competitors are too small and too old.” Meltzer said that “the basic feeling is that they lost the war” when it came to trying to have NXT compete with AEW and indy promotions. WWE is reportedly looking to go back to the previous developmental system of hiring younger and bigger wrestlers that the company feels can headline Wrestlemania. Meltzer then read off what he was told from a WWE source regarding what the company is looking for which is as follows: “No more midgets, no one starting in their 30’s, they want people who can be box office attractions and main characters.”

the majority of the released NXT stars are believed to have 30-day non-compete clauses. Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast wrote “and more to come” in response to the news of the 13 releases. Brandon Thurston stated:NXT renewed flat and isn’t much of a revenue growth opportunity. If anything it’s a cost. It’s not the third media rights brand hoped for. But in an effort to become that, nor is it developmental.  Recently released talent Bronson Reed recently discussed his departure from the brand. 4:34

There were other rumors that Cole is being offered a Million per year contract to stay in WWE. Allegedly he currently nets 100 thousand a year with his current NXT contract. Is the releasing of some talent adding more $ in the pockets of others? There are also rumors that The NXT rebrand will be a Similar vibe to the original NXT that featured Curtis Axel and A younger Daniel Bryan.
