AEW Makes Surprising Move: Vickie Guerrero Removed From Roster Page Before Contract Expiration

The landscape of AEW's roster has undergone a significant transformation in recent months, as some wrestlers have departed while new ones have joined the fold. Among those leaving the Tony Khan-led promotion is Vickie Guerrero, a long-time fixture of AEW's roster. Reports indicate that Guerrero will be bidding farewell to the company in the coming months, and fans have taken notice that her name has been removed from the AEW roster page. ## It has been widely reported that Vickie Guerrero will be concluding her tenure with AEW in the coming months. During her time with the promotion, Guerrero primarily served as the manager of Nyla Rose, and had a number of standout moments throughout their partnership. However, as her departure from AEW draws closer, fans are left wondering what the future holds for both Guerrero and the promotion itself. ## One of the standout moments of Vickie Guerrero's time in AEW was her involvement in Nyla Rose's feud with Jade Cargill. However, as Guerrero recently revealed, her contract with AEW is set to expire in July, giving her very little time left with the promotion. Despite her tenure with AEW, many fans have voiced their dissatisfaction with how the company utilized Guerrero's talents. ## The sharp-eyed users of Reddit have noticed a significant update to the AEW roster page following this week's episode of AEW Dynamite. As pointed out by u/Livid-Style-7935, Vickie Guerrero's name has been removed from the coaches section and has been entirely removed from the page. ## While Vickie Guerrero's imminent departure from AEW was not unexpected, the company's recent decision to remove her from the roster page has come as somewhat of a surprise. Typically, AEW waits until a talent's contract has fully expired before removing them from the page. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Paul Heyman Claims Cody Rhodes Emerged As A Bigger Star Despite Loss To Roman Reigns At WrestleMania 39

According to recent comments made by Paul Heyman to Ariel Helwani, Cody Rhodes emerged from his WrestleMania 39 match against Roman Reigns as a bigger star than he was prior to the event. Despite Rhodes' defeat, Heyman claimed that fans are now more invested in the wrestler than they were previously. ## Moreover, Paul Heyman drew comparisons between Reigns' current championship reign and the Undertaker's legendary WrestleMania streak, suggesting that Reigns' dominance has similarly captured the attention of audiences. ## The response tonight to Cody Rhodes, which was louder than the response last week to Cody Rhodes, which was a response more passionate tonight for Cody Rhodes, which was a response of an audience that believes in Cody Rhodes this week more than they did last week when they hung their hopes into dreams on him and he didn't disappoint them, we disappointed them. We took that away from Cody Rhodes. Roman Reigns took that away from Cody Rhodes and the audience. They blame Roman Reigns for it and they appreciate how close Cody came and they know, now, they know the next time Cody Rhodes steps in the ring with Roman Reigns, this will be the one. That's the business, that's the business at it's very best. That's promotion at its very best, that's storytelling at its very best. ## That's what you want, a challenger to come out a bigger star than he would have been if he had won the championship because then where do you go from there? What's the story to tell? Now you know the story, it's Cody's redemption. He's coming back from what was just taken from him, from the defeat he suffered that he didn't deserve to have inflicted upon him. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

AEW World Champion MJF Teases Epic Showdown Between Tony Khan And WWE President Nick Khan Amid WWE-Endeavor Merger

AEW's World Champion MJF has recently shared his thoughts on WWE's sale to Endeavor and its merger with UFC. According to reports, Endeavor has purchased WWE and plans to merge it with UFC to create a sports and entertainment behemoth. ## MJF, who has been hyping up the 'bidding war of 2024' and teasing a possible move to WWE when his AEW contract expires, is apparently still ready for a 'battle of the Khans' between AEW's Tony Khan and WWE President Nick Khan. ## During a media session in Long Island, after being presented with the Key to the Town of Oyster Bay, MJF stated that he remains prepared for the possibility of a bidding war between AEW and WWE. He also commented on how the merger could bring a whole new format to WWE. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the future. ## Discussing the merger, MJF said: ## “It’s exciting. A rising tide lifts all ships. The more professional wrestling is in the media, the better, which is why as World Champion. The best thing Tony Khan ever did was give me the opportunity to wrestler for the belt and beat that loser Jon Moxley so I can rise the ship that is All Elite Wrestling. ## “Now, AEW, when you talk about professional wrestling, you can’t not talk about AEW and you damn sure can’t not talk about Maxwell Jacob Friedman. So, I think both companies right now are white hot, I think in my opinion, (holding up AEW World Title) this is THE belt. ## “If you want to be at the pinnacle of our profession, as a professional wrestler, this is the belt to win, this is the belt to hold, and I’m the guy to beat. Ain’t nobody gonna beat me, because I’m a Long Islander and you can’t beat a Long Islander. ## “If you’re asking how often I think about money – often. That’s the answer to the question. It’s a battle of the Khans! We’ll see who wins. What I will say right now, I’m very happy to be the face of my promotion. I’m very happy to be the biggest minute-for-minute draw on Wednesday nights by a freakin’ landslide – no offense to anybody else on the roster, it’s just a fact. “Tony Khan is very fortunate to have me and I have a feeling he’s doing to do whatever it takes to keep it as such.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Big E Reflects On Disappointing WWE Championship Reign As A Learning Experience

Big E's tenure as WWE Champion left many fans feeling disappointed, a sentiment that was shared by the wrestling star himself. ## In 2021, Big E emerged victorious in the Money in the Bank contract match, which granted him the opportunity to challenge for the WWE Championship at any time of his choosing. He announced his intention to cash in on the same day he won the contract, waiting for the right moment to strike. He ultimately chose to cash in after Bobby Lashley successfully defended his championship against Randy Orton, seizing the title for himself. ## However, Big E's reign was short-lived, as he lost the championship at the Day 1 event in January of 2022. Brock Lesnar was able to pin him in a grueling five-way match, putting an end to his time as WWE Champion. As a result of the loss, Big E was transferred to the SmackDown brand, where he joined forces with his longtime partners in The New Day. ## While speaking with PopCulture, Big E looked back on the title reign: ## “It was a great learning experience for me. It was one of those things where if I’m being honest, I wanted more. I didn’t feel like I had the best reign. I feel like there was a lot of meat left on the bone. A lot more that we could have done there,” Big E stated. “For me, I was really fortunate and really blessed to have that opportunity and really grateful for it as well.” ## Really feeling like I’m meant to do this. For, for me, in many ways, even though I wanted more out of the reign and felt like a lot more could have been accomplished in-ring and on TV, SmackDown, Raw. As much as I have those feelings, I’m also so grateful for the opportunity and so grateful for so many doors that have opened because of that run.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Paul Heyman Compares Roman Reigns' Title Defenses To The Undertaker's WrestleMania Streak

n a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Paul Heyman, the advisor to the Bloodline, shared his thoughts on various topics related to the wrestling industry. One of the topics discussed was Roman Reigns' undefeated streak at WrestleMania, which Heyman compared to The Undertaker's legendary undefeated run. ## Heyman was also asked about his thoughts on Reigns' title defense against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39, which had just taken place at the time of the interview. Heyman responded with high praise, noting the intensity of the match and Reigns' impressive skills and athleticism. Heyman also commended Rhodes for being a worthy opponent, making the match exciting to watch. ## “I don’t know. I haven’t had a chance to digest it yet. I like the fact that everyone walks in now thinking this is the last title defense. I experienced this before with something I had a hand in ending, which was The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania. ## Every year you sat there and you said, ‘Oh, this is it.’ During the match, the audience is actually anticipating and salivating for this to be the moment that they get to witness the historical three count on The Undertaker to which the streak would finally end. ## Then of course when The Undertaker would defend the streak, they said, ‘Oh yeah, I don’t want to see this end. I can’t wait for the next chapter’, and then it finally ended and the audience was shocked because they thought they would see it. They thought they would see it. They thought they would, and no they didn’t get to see it. This was year after, year after year, and then they finally got to see it.” ## “I think that’s the same thing with Roman Reigns’ title defenses now. You hope this is the one. You think this is the one. You’re sure this is the one. You watch the match happening, and you go, ‘You know this is the one’, and then it turns out not to be the one. ‘Oh, man. I can’t wait to see the next chapter.’” ## “The response tonight to Cody Rhodes, which was louder than the response last week to Cody Rhodes, which was a response more passionate tonight for Cody Rhodes, which was a response of an audience that believes in Cody Rhodes this week more than they did last week when they hung their hopes and their dreams on him. He didn’t disappoint them. We disappointed them. We took that away from Cody Rhodes. Roman Reigns took that away from Cody Rhodes and the audience, and they blame Roman Reigns for it. They appreciate how close Cody came, and they know now, they know, the next time Cody Rhodes steps in the ring with Roman Reigns, this will be the one.” ## “That’s the business. That’s the business at its very best. That’s promotion at its very best. That’s storytelling at its very best. That’s what you want. You want the challenger to come out a bigger star than he would have been if he had won the championship because then where do you go from there? What’s the story to tell? Now you know the story. It’s Cody’s redemption. He’s coming back from what was just taken from him from the defeat that he suffered that he didn’t deserve to have inflicted upon him.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

In India, AEW Dynamite airs on Eurosport every Thursday at 5:30 AM IST. ## The show is available on the TSN Direct streaming service at 10 pm Eastern, the same time that the show will air live on TNT and FITE TV. ## AEW Dynamite Results April 5, 2023: ## Ricky Starks vs. Juice Robinson ## Juice Robinson had already entered the ring when Starks was making his entrance. However, just as Starks made his way to the ring, the electrifying music of Switchblade Jay White hit, eliciting a thunderous reaction from the crowd. Without hesitation, White stormed into the ring to lend Robinson a hand in giving Starks a sound beating. The two men hugged it out before hitting Starks with the devastating Blade Runner finisher. As they made their way back up the ramp, Robinson and White stood tall, victorious over their fallen foe. ## WINNER: No Contest ## In the backstage area, Tony Schiavone caught up with Chris Jericho for an interview. Jericho discussed Adam Cole's recent match and post-match celebration, which seemed to go on forever. Jericho expressed that he had to put a stop to the disrespect after Cole punked out Daniel Garcia. Suddenly, Keith Lee appeared on the scene, calling out Jericho for his history of disrespect towards other AEW wrestlers. Lee challenged Jericho to a match in Milwaukee next week, with the intention of teaching him a thing or two about respect. Jericho slowly backed away from the confrontation, leaving his answer to Lee's challenge uncertain. ## As the House of Black made their entrance, the audience roared in anticipation, knowing that they would be defending their coveted AEW Trios Titles against the popular trio of Orange Cassidy and Best Friends. ## AEW Trios Titles: House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews w/Julia Hart) Vs Best Friends (Chuck Taylor & Trent Beretta) & AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy ## Amidst a loud crowd reaction, a mini-van pulled up backstage, with none other than Trent's mother Sue behind the wheel. Beretta and Black started the match with a series of reversals, exchanging back and forth until Beretta delivered a stunning standing meteora. Taylor and King made the tag, with Taylor narrowly avoiding a charging senton, allowing Cassidy and Matthews to join the fray. The pace picked up with lightning-fast switches, culminating in Matthews blocking the tilt-a-whirl DDT and slamming Cassidy face-first into the corner. ## The match broke down into chaos as everyone spilled outside, with King decimating Taylor and Cassidy attempting a daring hands-in-pocket fall off the top, only to be caught by Black and Matthews and slammed onto the apron. Beretta suffered the same fate moments later. The House of Black took control during the commercial break, with Cassidy hitting a top-rope crossbody on Black. King was sent through the ropes onto his partners, while Cassidy was launched to the floor onto everyone. ## Back inside the ring, a double choke slam powerbomb earned a two-count on Black, with Rush, Dralistico, and Preston Vance watching from ringside. Both teams exchanged a flurry of big-time moves until Black and Cassidy had a tense standoff after missing their respective signature strikes. Cassidy attempted his trademark little kicks, but Black quickly dropped him. Cassidy retaliated with a Stundog Millionaire, as Anna Jay kept a watchful eye on Julia Hart backstage. ## Beretta hit a perfect piledriver on Matthews and Black, but when it came to King, he struggled to lift him at first. It took a Taylor pump knee and Cassidy's Orange Punch to finally set up Beretta for the piledriver on King, which almost earned them the victory. Taylor and Matthews countered each other's Sole Food and Murphy's Law until Matthews ultimately landed a Curb Stomp to secure the victory. ## WINNERS: House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews w/Julia Hart) ## AEW Women’s Title: Jamie Hayter (w/Dr. Britt Baker) Vs Riho Hayter attempted to execute her finisher as soon as the bell rang, but Riho was able to evade it and countered with a series of close pin attempts. Hayter utilized her strength advantage with some shoulder tackles, however, Riho's agility allowed her to send Hayter flying out of the ring and hit a dive from the top rope. Hayter regained control inside the ring with a vicious gut buster. Both competitors exchanged blows on the apron before Hayter executed an Uranage on the edge of the ring. ## After the commercial break, Riho fought back with a head scissors, Tiger Feint Kick, and a cross body from the top rope for a near fall. Although Hayter was able to dodge the Northern Lights suplex, she was not able to avoid the snap German and Dragon suplexes by Riho. Hayter landed a Ushigoroshi and a Swing Low, Sweet Lariat for a close two count. Later, Hayter delivered a superplex and attempted a brainbuster, but Riho countered with a devastating DDT in a beautifully executed sequence. The two competitors exchanged forearm strikes, with Hayter ultimately coming out on top. They climbed the ropes again, and Riho hit a springboard hurricanrana followed by charging double knees, but Hayter managed to put a foot on the rope to avoid the pin. ## Riho was determined to execute another Dragon suplex, but Hayter countered by rolling through into Hayter-ade, which Riho initially avoided, but not the second time. Although Riho was able to kick out of the first Hayter-ade, Hayter hit a second one to successfully defend her title. ## WINNER: Jamie Hayter ## MJF Day ## As the curtains opened to reveal a magnificent swing band, the crowd erupted into a thunderous ovation, eagerly anticipating the appearance of their idol, MJF. He emerged from behind the curtains, clad in a pristine white tuxedo, and the crowd went wild. MJF began crooning the classic tune "Pennies from Heaven" with such finesse and flair that it left the audience spellbound. ## The band's exquisite performance and MJF's velvety-smooth vocals would have undoubtedly impressed even the likes of Lawrence Welk and Dean Martin. With each passing verse, MJF danced his way down to the ring, bringing the song to a sensational finish. Justin Roberts took the stage, introducing Joseph Saladino, the esteemed Supervisor of the town of Oyster Bay. As Saladino presented MJF with a much grander key to Long Island, the crowd booed him mercilessly, much to the delight of Taz, who couldn't help but chuckle at the scene. ## MJF, basking in the adulation of the crowd, declared that he deserved this honor, unlike losers such as Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara, and especially Jungle Boy. He belittled Jungle Boy, claiming that the most he could ever hope for was a girlfriend with a wandering eye and a minuscule package. Undeterred, MJF continued his speech, regaling the Long Island kids with his inspiring tale of perseverance. ## He spoke of his childhood dreams of becoming a wrestler and recounted how his teacher, Mrs. Benedict, used to laugh at him for not knowing the answers in class. But MJF had the last laugh, as he rose to become one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He even called Mrs. Benedict a "stupid b*tch," which garnered yet another chant from the crowd. ## In an uplifting gesture, MJF gave a motivational speech to the young Long Island fans, but he made it clear that he only spoke to the "rich and famous" and not the "poors." With his trademark tagline, MJF bid farewell to his adoring fans and strutted up the ramp for an encore performance. ## Suddenly, the loud clashing of cymbals shattered the air, causing MJF to spin around in alarm. To his surprise, he found himself face to face with Jungle Boy, who had snuck up behind him. The two rivals launched into a vicious brawl, with the crowd cheering for MJF whenever he gained the upper hand and booing when Jungle Boy did. ## As the agents and security tried to separate the two, Sammy Guevara made his entrance, holding the AEW Title high above his head. He stood between the two combatants, staring them down, before making his way to the ring for his match. ## Singles Match: Sammy Guevara Vs Komander ## In the opening moments of the match, Guevara pulled off an impressive springboard moonsault to the floor, catching Kommander off guard. His acrobatic skills were so impressive that he went out of frame. However, Kommander managed to recover and hit a superkick on Guevara in mid-air as he flew back inside the ring. ## Kommander continued to fight back and executed a rope walk into a Shooting Star Press for a near fall. Guevara rolled outside the ring to catch his breath, and Kommander took advantage of the situation by attempting a dive outside the ring. But Guevara was prepared for it and connected with a jump knee that took us into the picture-in-picture view. ## Guevara kept Kommander grounded, and Jungle Boy watched on backstage with security standing behind him. However, Kommander fought back with a springboard Poison rana, followed by a spectacular rope walk and a dive on the outside. Back inside the ring, Kommander attempted a Shooting Star Press for the second time, but Guevara moved out of the way. Kommander then attempted a springboard Phoenix Splash, but could only manage a two-count. ## Kommander was determined to execute his signature move, the rope walk Shooting Star Press, and attempted it for the third time. Unfortunately, Guevara saw it coming and got his knees up, causing Kommander to crash land. Guevara seized the opportunity and trapped Kommander in the ropes, allowing him to hit a cutter halfway through the rope walk. Finally, Guevara connected with his signature move, the GTH, and secured the victory. Despite a valiant effort by Kommander, Guevara emerged victorious with his high-flying moves and quick reflexes. ## WINNER: Sammy Guevara ## FTW Title Match: HOOK Vs Ethan Page (w/Matt Hardy & Isiah Kassidy) ## During the bout, Page attempted a sneaky attack, but was swiftly thwarted with a masterful T-Bone suplex and rolled out of the ring. Determined to gain an advantage, Page continued his assault on HOOK outside the ring, slamming him against the unforgiving floor and posting him. Returning to the ring with an air of confidence, Page struck a pose reminiscent of Matt Hardy. However, his attempt to execute a Twist of Fate was expertly countered by HOOK, who seamlessly transitioned into his own devastating move. ## As Page struggled to regain his footing, Isiah Kassidy emerged, using distracting tactics to allow Hardy to enter the fray and engage in a tug-of-war with the FTW title against Page. Hardy eventually ripped the title away, using it to clock Page with a vicious blow that sent him reeling back into the clutches of HOOK's signature submission hold, REDRUM. With the crowd on their feet, Hardy and Kassidy gave a triumphant fist bump to HOOK on the ramp before disappearing backstage. ## WINNER: HOOK ## The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta w/Bryan Danielson) Vs. 3 Guys Already in the Ring ## The energy in the arena was palpable as the Blackpool Combat Club (BCC) made their way to the ring, ready to take on their opponents. Excalibur was about to introduce their opponents when the BCC sprang into action, launching a surprise attack that left their opponents dazed and confused. ## Moxley and Castagnoli executed a brutal spike piledriver on one of their opponents on the floor, while Yuta locked in a single crab. The BCC continued their assault, with Moxley applying a sleeper hold and Castagnoli launching another opponent to the floor. Yuta then landed a series of anvil elbows before locking in a crossface to secure an easy victory. ## WINNERS: The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta w/Bryan Danielson) ## After the match, Danielson took the microphone and spoke of his love for his family and the BCC, who he deemed to be true professionals. He then turned his attention to their opponents, questioning their professionalism and suggesting they were merely amateurs hired by the EVPs. Danielson asserted that the BCC were the only professionals present, just as Hangman Adam Page power walked to the ring. ## Despite showing no fear, Page was immediately set upon by Moxley, Castagnoli, and Yuta, while Danielson berated him as an amateur. Danielson then produced a screwdriver from his jacket and proclaimed that the house of AEW needed to be fixed up from all the amateurs present. To prove his point, he slowly drove the screwdriver into Page's eye, causing him to scream in agony while Danielson continued to proclaim the superiority of the BCC and himself as professionals. ## It was a shocking and disturbing scene that left the audience reeling, as the BCC asserted their dominance over the rest of AEW. It remains to be seen how the other wrestlers will respond to this display of brutality and arrogance. ## AEW Tag Team Titles: FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) Vs The Gunns (Austin & Colten) ## The Gunns made their entrance to new music and a fancier overall presentation, while FTR's appearance marked their first match since Wrestle Kingdom. To start the bout, Wheeler and Austin exchanged slaps, with Wheeler later executing a charging spear in the ropes and delivering chops as FTR made rapid tags. Colten tried to regroup outside, but Wheeler caught up with Austin, allowing The Gunns to isolate and control Wheeler during the break. ## Upon returning to the action, Harwood made a fiery hot tag, unleashing a flurry of punches. A beautifully executed short arm lariat sent Colten outside, and while Austin attempted a move of his own, Harwood almost pinned him with a close small package. FTR delivered a double DDT to Colten in the ropes, with a blind tag made by FTR just as they planted Austin with a spike piledriver for a two count. ## Both teams attempted their respective finishing moves, the Shatter Machine and 3:10 to Yuma, but it was FTR who hit the Shatter Machine. However, Colten pulled the referee out of the ring and demanded that he disqualify FTR, but the referee refused, knowing that a DQ would end FTR's careers. Colten and Harwood collided on the apron, and Austin hit the Fame-Asser for a two count. ## Attempting a Pedigree, Austin was countered by Harwood, who spun out into multiple pin attempts. Austin then resorted to a low blow, right in front of the referee, but Wheeler pleaded with the ref not to disqualify The Gunns. As 3:10 to Yuma hit Wheeler, Austin set up Harwood in the corner. Although the ref saw one title thrown in the ring, he missed the second, and Harwood was struck with it but managed to kick out at two. Furious, Harwood spat in both of The Gunns' faces, and while Wheeler came flying off the top with a sunset flip, Harwood simultaneously executed a roll-up, resulting in both Gunns being pinned, and FTR being crowned the new champions as streamers fell from above. The show culminated with Mark Briscoe rushing to the ring to celebrate with FTR, marking a significant win for the team. ## WINNERS: FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

"It's been a few days, but I still can't believe I'm the NXT Women's Champion," she says. She admits that she had given up on thinking about what she would say if she ever won the title, but thanks the fans for their unwavering support throughout her journey. ## Indi explains that she used to doubt herself, wondering if she could make it on her own after being a tag team champion. However, she credits the fans for never doubting her and always cheering her on, even during her toughest moments. She goes on to talk about Roxanne Perez, who helped make the ladder match possible and allowed Indi to become champion. Indi believes that Roxanne deserves the first shot at her title. ## However, Zoey Stark interrupts, disparaging Indi's championship win and claiming that she is not at the level of the legends and future Hall of Famers who have held the title before her. Zoey demands a title shot, saying that she believes Indi is a very beatable champion. ## Indi, feeling confident in her abilities, agrees to the challenge and decides to put the title on the line in a match against Zoey later that night. Zoey warns Indi that she has made a big mistake, and predicts that Indi will be the shortest reigning champion in NXT history. ## Meanwhile, at the airport, Wes Lee is interviewed by the press. Axiom stands behind him as he's asked about their match on Saturday. Axiom wonders what would happen if they had a one-on-one match, to which Wes responds that Axiom brought his best on Saturday, and that he's ready to face him again tomorrow. ## Channing Lorenzo and Tony D'Angelo Vs Kit WIlson and Elton Prince ## The match begins with Lorenzo and Elton locking up and pulling each other's hair.
