Mon. #1 is HERE. To help the site out subscribe to Mistah MegaManFan (current count: 1,017). If you're a gamer you'll enjoy it! Don't miss WWE Raw highlight videos later tonight! With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Monday's latest wrestling news.

After deactivating his Twitter account a couple of days ago without explanation, Seth Rollins reactivated it with just as little explanation and shared a single solitary tweet professing his love of football. Several people have suggested to me that members of the Sasha Banks fandom went after him on social media after a minor back-and-forth between them in tweets, and that he may have gone dark just to not see or deal with the attacks.

Speaking of Seth Rollins here are some Raw house show results from Tucson, Arizona. (PWI)

* Ricochet defeated Cesaro. Ricochet was beat down by O.C. after the match, which led to...
* Viking Raiders defeated The O.C.
* Lucha House Party, Sin Cara, and Titus O'Neill (who donned a mask at one point) defeated WWE Cruiserweight Champion Drew Gulak, Tony Nese, EC3, and Eric Young.
* King Corbin defeated Cedric Alexander.
* Natalya defeated Lacey Evans via Sharpshooter.
* Roman Reigns defeated Erick Rowan in a Street Fight. Luke Harper made an appearance.
* WWE Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch defeated Sasha Banks via submission.
* Braun Strowman defeated WWE United States Champion AJ Styles via DQ after an O.C. run in, the Viking Raiders came in for backup.
* WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins defeated the Fiend via DQ after the Fiend refused to release the mandible claw in the corner. Seth hit multiple curbstomps after the match, but the show closed with the Fiend mauling Seth with the mandible claw.

CM Punk (Phil Brooks) and Colt Cabana (Scott Colton) both submitted a motion to the court on September 25th to dismiss their lawsuits against each other with prejudice, and the presiding judge signed off on it the next day, which means the lawsuits each way are officially dismissed. The "with prejudice" part means they can not sue each other over the same things going forward. (PWI)

Obviously not disparaging each other was not part of the settlement because Punk derided Cabana as greedy, manipulative and dissembling in a series of vitriolic tweets.

New WWE related videos are available below.

New Japan Fighting Spirit Unleashed results courtesy Dan Berg are available below.

The front half of the show was a bit of a showcase for the LA Dojo Young Lions.

- Rocky Romero def. Clark Connors
- Mad Mikey Nicholls def. Young Lions Cup 2019 winner Karl Fredericks
- Lance Archer def. Alex Coughlin
- Amazing Red def. Ren Narita

All of the Young Lions show a lot of progress, and with the current focus on Shibata and the LA Dojo, especially with Narita joining, it will be interesting to see what they plan for them.

- Los Ingobernables de Japon (Naito, SANADA, and Takagi) def. Roppongi 3k (Sho and Yoh) and Juice Robinson
- Los Ingobernables de Japon (EVIL and BUSHI) def. Kota Ibushi and TJP

The crowd ABSOLUTED HATED TJP in this one, even shouting apologies to Ibushi, claiming the boos were not his fault.

12- Man Tag Team Elimination Main Event:
Rock & Roll Express, YOSHI-HASHI, Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto, and Hiroshi Tanahashi def. The Bullet Club (Jay White, KENTA, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, Chase Owens, and Gedo)

This was a mess, but in a fun, house show kind of way. Eliminations could occur via pinfall, submission, or being thrown over the top rope, battle royal style.

Ricky Morton hit the Canadian Destroyer on Chase Owens, which got a giant pop from the crowd.

The final two competitors were Tanahashi and Owens, the finish coming in the form of the nowadays rarely used High Fly Flow.

After the match, Tanahashi got on the mic to explain that he had a dream. That dream? To play guitar with the Rock & Roll Express. Gibson and Morton came back out, and air-shredded with The Ace of New Japan to send the crowd home happy.

To make a long story short http://wrestlinginc.com/news/2019/09/bill-apter-reveals-who-hed-like-to-see-as-the-head-of-aew-660174/ Bill Apter thinks Chris Jericho should lead the AEW booking committee.

And here's one from Capitol Wrestling.

Capitol Wrestling Programming To Air On Gas Digital

After bolstering its international and digital syndication in 2019, emerging sports entertainment brand Capitol Wrestling is proud to announce leading comedy streaming and podcast service GAS Digital as its latest network partner.

Founded by broadcaster and entrepreneur Ralph Sutton, along with comedian and entrepreneur Luis J. Gomez, GAS Digital plays host to some of the biggest names in comedy, music, and pop culture, and now Capitol joins its weekly programming slate beginning in October.

Continuing a partnership established with Capitol Wrestling's first-ever IPPV, Live From Skankfest in June of 2019, Capitol and GAS have entered a strategic partnership that will benefit not only each company but fans of each brand.

Sharing an aggressive DIY and serve-your-audience ideology, Capitol and GAS align as perfect partners following massive growth for each entity over the course of 2019, including Capitol's events in Brooklyn, New York, and Nashville, as well as GAS Digital's successful Skankfest festival while airing portions of its cornerstone programming from The Stand Comedy Club in New York City.

Capitol Wrestling will make GAS Digital the first-run home for its groundbreaking weekly 30-minute series, airing digitally on FITE and internationally on Fight Network UK, and coming soon to Netflix competitor Tubi.

And here's another from KSW MMA.

Khalidov vs. Askham & Olympic Medal Winners Collide at KSW 52
 
2019 has continued the trend of KSW's year on year growth over the past number of years. The promotion returned to London again, will make it's debut in Croatia on November 9, and come December 7, for the first time ever, we will have seen six marquee KSW events in one calendar year. An increase from the four and five yearly events seen in previous years.
 
So it is fitting that the year will end with a massive KSW 52 event featuring two of the biggest fights in the promotion's fifteen year history. The legend Mamed Khalidov (34-6-2) returns after a brief retirement to take on current middleweight champion Scott Askham (18-6) in the main event and two Polish Olympic medalists Damian Janikowski (4-1) and Szymon Kolecki (7-1) will collide in the co-main event.
 
Last December saw an emotional Mamed Khalidov lay his gloves on the canvas following a close decision loss to a much bigger and younger Tomasz Narkun at KSW 46. It was his second straight loss to light heavyweight champion Narkun in 2018, the pair stole the year in KSW with two epic and instant classic fights. These losses marked the first time ever for Khalidov to see defeat in the KSW arena. A run which lasted twenty fights over an eleven year period.
 
Now, almost a year to the day he retired, Khalidov will return in what will be arguably the biggest fight of his career. Very few fighters have come into KSW and made the impact Scott Askham (18-6) has. In just three fights the Englishman has captured the middleweight title and scored three highlight reel finishes, two of which came against former champ, and longtime friend of Mamed Khalidov, Michal Materla.
 
The belt will not be on the line, however, legacy is. This is a fight in which Khalidov can prove to himself that he still has what it takes at 39-years-old to stay in this game and for Askham a win over the greatest middleweight in KSW history, and the man who relinquished the belt currently around Askham's waist, would really solidify his title reign.
 
As announced earlier today at a press conference in Warsaw, Poland, the co-main event will see two of Poland's most popular sporting heroes meet in a monumental fight. Olympic bronze medalist in greco-roman wrestling at London 2012 Damian Janikowski will face Olympic gold medalist in weightlifting Szymon Kolecki in a 91.5kg catchweight contest.
 
It was a fight no one ever expected to see but the stars aligned for this one. Janikowski, a middleweight wrestler, taking on Kolecki, a heavyweight weightlifter, promises to be one of the most intriguing and captivating contests ever in KSW.

I guess Buddy Murphy wants to talk about his weight: "215. So I'm up. I was a little, from coming to 205 and then getting drafted to SmackDown, obviously there's been a period from that day to now. A little long period, but that was kind of a little strategic way that I wanted to go about things. I wanted get a little bit more size just before I mix it up with guys on SmackDown Live. It's been a little longer than expected, but I definitely wanted that break in period to get more size. I came in to NXT at about 235. I hovered around 230. And the initial cut started at about 225. So 20 pounds to make the cruiserweight division."

WWE is still trying to work out a deal with The Rock to appear on Friday's debut of SmackDown Live on FOX. (WO)

To make a long story short http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2854866-pro-wrestlings-greatest-blood-feud-reignited-in-startup-all-elite-wrestling Cody says Triple H took him leaving WWE personally.

If you speak Spanish, RUSH explains why he left CMLL in the clip below.

From MLW.

Tickets are now on sale for Major League Wrestling's return to Philadelphia on Saturday, February 1, 2020 at the 2300 Arena for an international MLW Fusion TV taping.

Fans can buy tickets now at MLW2300.com or the 2300 Arena box office.

The event entitled MLW: FIGHTLAND, will have a bell time of 7:00pm with doors opening at 3:00pm to the general public.

Ticket prices range from $15-$80 with a limited number of Platinum Packages also available.

This event is an all ages event.

Based on this tweet The Rock appears to have worked out that deal to be on SmackDown this Friday.

5:00 PM ET. Speaking of The Rock, here's how Rocky "Soulman" Johnson trained his son: "I didn't want him to go through what I had gone through. I discouraged him because I didn't know there would be such a big change as there is now. I said I'll train you, but I'll train you 150 percent. I trained him and the rest is history. Every night we'd hear a crash and we'd go into room. He'd be on the dresser doing backflips from the dresser to the bed, breaking the bed every night. He told me when he was in football and won the National Championship, later on he told me he used that as a stepping stone to get where he wanted to go and that's what he did."

RUSH tweaked an ankle catching Matt Taven on a move at Death Before Dishonor, but the injury isn't severe and he should be back to wrestling soon. (WO)
