Several Wrestlers Reportedly Gone from AEW

Following WWE releasing 10+ wrestlers throughout the weekend, there are reports that several wrestlers are gone from All Elite Wrestling. The landscape of wrestling has changed. We’re wishing the best for every wrestler gone from the two biggest wrestling companies in the world.

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Malakai Black and Miro are both gone from AEW. Johnson also noted that Ricky Starks has been removed from the AEW Roster page. Which is typically means a wrestler has finished up with the company.

These are big names that are about to hit the open market. In my opinion, all three of these guys could be World Champion in either company. I’m shocked by how Ricky Starks’ AEW career ended up playing out. This time last year, he looked like a no doubt future World Champion in the company. He can go in the wrong, and was arguably the most charismatic wrestler on a roster filled with guys like with Adam Copeland, Adam Cole and MJF. Starks hasn’t been seen on AEW programming since last year and we know he’s healthy because he’s wrestling on the independents.

Fans are going to speculate on all of them going to WWE. The most interesting name to watch is Ricky Starks. He’s the only one without any prior experience in WWE. Miro and Malakai Black had solid runs in WWE so it wouldn’t surprise me to see them back. Starks though, is the youngest and the freshest name.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...
