Tetsuya NaitoTetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi, BUSHI, SANADA, EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, Gedo and Dick Togo were ALL pulled from Monday's New Japan Pro Wrestling show due to COVID-19 protocols. (NJPW)

In this interview Lance Archer says he'd like to see a AEW x NJPW supershow: "I think it intrigues everybody. I think that's the fun part. Again, we keep going back and forth on the Forbidden Door, and the fact that we have a working relationship with New Japan right now, we have a working relationship with Impact. And whatever it is, the different people that are coming in and out of AEW on a consistent basis. I think that would be interesting for anybody. The fact if there was some kind of supershow that involved several different companies with talents from every one of them, fighting each other, fighting for their championships, whatever the case may be. I think that's the perfect element for a place like MSG. But I think, again, you're saying you're kind of surprised about the stuff in Chicago. I'm not surprised at all. And I think if we ran MSG, especially any time soon, there's a good chance that AEW and AEW by itself could sell out MSG and kick some butt man."

Via her podcast Chelsea Green announced she's getting her own reality show on ASY TV: "The show will be about bikinis and beaches. Okay, the premise of it is that I will be traveling to beach towns around Florida, searching out the best beaches and the best local spots to eat. The best surf shops or bikini stores, that kind of thing. So I'm really excited. I obviously love a good bikini. But not only that, I've always had the travel bug and know, no matter where I am in the world I find or I try to find a beautiful beach to lay at some point in my travels. So this is just kind of an extension of that. But also, it's gonna be fun because it's local. I've lived in Florida for five years or so now and I have hardly explored the state. It's ridiculous. So this gives me an excuse, or I should say a reason, to get in the car and drive from coast to coast. So we don't have a name yet for it. If you guys have any suggestions hit me up on social media @GreenWEnvyPod. Also if you guys have any, you know, favorite Floridian bikini companies or local stores, hidden gems, anything in some little Florida beach towns, let me know. I'm excited to shed some light on places that people haven't heard of. Anyway, so I'm starting to write up episodes now and take notes and it's just exciting to have another passion project to explore, I don't know. You never know, maybe Playboy will pick up the show. The world is our motherfucking oyster in 2021 so we just have to do everything that we got damn want to do."

3:00 PM ET. Jon Moxley has filed trademarks on "Switchblade Conspiracy" and "The Switchblades." (PWI)

In this interview Bobby Lashley praises MVP: "Yeah, man. That's my dude. Me and MVP, we go way back, and we were always like that. MVP is the kind of person that... You know when you come out from a match, and you have those different people that are always those 'yes people'? 'Oh, yeah, you did great. You looked good,' and everything like that. I don't get that from him. I get honest opinions from him. 'What do you think we need?' 'Well, I think be careful of this. You need to fix this up. You know, in that match, you missed your game too much. You need to beat him down. Stop tap dancing.' Those are the kinds of things that he would say, and I love that because that's real, and I need people around me that are going to keep it real for me. MVP is that person. MVP will keep it real whether you like it or not. Being on the road gives us the opportunity to drive around, and that's a part of wrestling that you can't buy. We don't even talk about it. That's just our personal experience of just traveling around the world and having different craziness happen in different cities all over the place. Things that happen every single day from the airport to the car rental places to the hotels to the shows. There's all kinds of different stories that we have. Riding with him, we joke about this stuff, talk about this stuff, riding this wave. I mean, me and him are kind of at the tail end of our careers, and it's fun to be able to do some big stuff like that because, ultimately, five, 10, years down the road when I retire, I want to be that Goldberg that comes back every once in a while and puts a hurting on some of these people. That's what the Hurt Business is about. The Hurt Business is still alive, man."

MLW say they are "monitoring" the delta variant of COVID-19 ahead of the September 11th event planned for Dallas.

WWE is likely to bring Crown Jewel back to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Thursday, October 21st. (PWI)

Roman Reigns talks about his cousin Jimmy USO and all of his DUI arrests: "We're all human, we're all cynics, we all make mistakes. Instead of what some people might feel you should give up on somebody or maybe turn your back on that type of behavior, that's one way to do it. But I don't think that's the way to push through and gain experience or make progressive movements of becoming a better man or a better human. So for me, it was diving into it with great attention, great love and very thorough communication to make sure my family is continually bettering themselves and putting themselves in a position to make better decisions."

"Nasty Boy" Brian Knobbs had to be put on an all liquid diet and given doses of sodium before undergoing general anesthesia to treat his stomach problems, as his sodium levels were dangerously low before he could be given said anesthesia. It sounds like he came through this part of his treatment okay but he's not out of the woods yet.

NXT tapings will start next week with the August 24th episode being taped on the 23rd. Two more episodes will be pre-taped the next day, with NXT going back to a live show on September 14th. (PWI)

Here's a new Matt Riddle interview.

6:00 PM ET. Fuego Del Sol says he didn't know he was getting his AEW contract on Rampage: "They told me to lay there and after commercial comes back, get your standing ovation. 'Hey, these people love you,' Bryce (Remsburg) was getting it in his ear, 'Hey, lay here, after commercial break, stand up, get your standing ovation, these people love you. I stood up, I thought, 'Hell of a match, fun night.' Sammy Guevara's music hit, my heart dropped into my stomach because I knew what was happening in that moment. I was overwhelmed with emotion. I get goosebumps. I enjoyed the match so much. I was so amped all day about the match. I had this vision in my mind. Three DDTs. I was on cloud nine all day. We filmed the package they aired before the match, the night before, and it felt big, but I had no idea that they were going to do that after the match. Sammy was dressed nice and I didn't even think about it. I was so focused on the match that everything else was white noise. I was laser-focused on Miro. It was perfect because I didn't see it coming."

From NJPW.

The tournament of tournaments, G1 Climax kicks off on Saturday September 18 for a month that will showcase the pinnacle of heavyweight competition in New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Starting in Osaka's prefectural Gymnasium and running all the way through to a thrilling conclusion in the Nippon Budokan October 20 & 21, fans are hotly anticipating the action not only in Japan, but all over the world.

We're thrilled to announce that international fans will be fully covered by the King of Sports streaming services, NJPW World! Every event during G1 Climax 31 will have live, in person English commentary. In September alone the G1 schedule will join both nights of Wrestle Grand Slam in MetLife Dome with live English coverage for a total of nine live English events, plus NJPW STRONG every week to create the ultimate package for New Japan fans!

Wherever you are this fall, be there with NJPW World!

Finn Balor talks about John Cena stealing his spot: "It's actually very difficult for me to accept the situation. I would probably have had fewer problems with that three years ago. But now I'm much more confident and know exactly what I'm capable of. And I think what happened there is just wrong. My name was in bold on the SummerSlam contract. John Cena may have signed it, but my name was on the contract. I have to have a serious word with John about that."

Former NXT wrestler Ari Sterling (Alex Zayne) says he wasn't at the Performance Center the day Vince McMahon came to scout talent: "I actually wasn't. I know they did one day where Bruce (Prichard) and someone else came down before that, and I was there that day. And then they had this big day where Vince was coming through, and we have an app or whatever, and we're told our schedule and I was not needed that day. Of course, situations like that being in the Performance Center in front of Vince, and who knows what he's looking at or what he's looking for, that can be very stressful. There's always that kind of sigh of relief if you're not having to do that, but at the same time, I think I got here by taking advantage of any and all opportunities when they're thrown at me. That's how I got anywhere and everywhere I've ever been. I would probably more look at it as a missed opportunity as opposed to a sigh of relief because if I get canned on the spot for being me, at least I was trying to show them what I thought was good about me. If I were there and was like, 'This is me!' And then they were like, 'I do not like it that.' I wouldn't feel like, 'aw man.' Maybe I'm overly optimistic, I guess. I feel like I would have had that opportunity, and who knows, I could have been, 'Oh, go do flippy shit on SmackDown or something.'"

The first episode of AEW Rampage last Friday did 740,000 viewers and a 0.30 18-49 demo. (Wrestlenomics)

Malakai Black on Bray Wyatt's WWE release: "I think I speak for everyone when I say that we were all very, very surprised. Obviously, I don't know the reasons why, and the reasons for that is also not for me to know. That's between them and the company. All I can say is that Bray is a phenomenal talent. I think there's no question about that. Everyone thinks that he is a phenomenal, creative guy. Funny enough, in our conversations a lot of times, there's a lot of cross reference the way him and I think about subliminal messaging, and building characters and where we get our inspirations from, and it's interesting to hear him talk about his characters. A lot of times we're always kind of like, 'What would we do if it was just you and me?' We do a little bit of fantasy booking here and there. Windham, for as much as I know him, has always been a stand up guy since the first time I met him. He's also been there for me when I wanted to ask him a few things because obviously, at the time, he was in the company for a very, very long time, and he went through a similar process that I have to go through."

Impact's Emergence show this Friday on Impact+ will have a special start time of 7 PM ET. (IW)

Andrade El Idolo talks about Charlotte Flair being with him at TripleMania: "Ashley knew how important this was to me, so she asked for the weekend off two and a half months ago. She told me she was so nervous watching my match and tearing up, so it meant a lot that she could be there. With Ashley, we have the best of both worlds. She teaches me. I teach her. She teaches me how to take time on my entrance, how to stand in the ring, the little things that people notice when they look at you. I help her with moves, submissions, adding wrinkles to her move-set. She was the person I went to when I asked what I should do about my future. She knew I was unhappy, and I knew she was going to be sad if I left WWE, because our life is on the road together. But she knows this is my dream, and she supported my decision without hesitation. Watching me with my new gear, seeing me train so hard the last two months, she said she was so proud of me. She says my dreams inspire her. She said she can see a change in me and my happiness. That’s all that matters."

Ember Moon has taken to social media to say that she's "not injured" and that's not the reason she's been off TV. According to one source the actual reason is because she had some dental work done and hasn't been cleared to return yet because it's not fully healed. (FF)

The final SmackDown rating numbers were a 0.58 18-49 demo with 2.084 million viewers, as compared to a 0.61 and 2.169 million the week before. (Wrestlenomics)
