F4Wonline.com is reporting that Britt Baker has extended her contract with All Elite Wrestling.
Baker, the Women’s Champion in AEW, has become one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling. The reaction she gets from most crowds is on par with some of the other big names in wrestling.
While the report doesn’t go into detail as to how long her extension might be or how long her original contract was. I can put two and two together and say that her original contract was a 3-year contract as Jim Ross states his first AEW contract was. Reports when AEW launched also stated that most contracts were 3-year deals.
Baker will defend the All Elite Women’s Championship against Kris Statlander at All Out.
PWinsider is reporting that WWE star Adam Cole is officially done with WWE.
Cole and WWE had been negotiating on a new deal for the past month or so with the two sides unable to come to terms on a contract. According to PWInsider, WWE issued an internal memo to their staff saying that Cole is done with the company.
WWE had considered Cole done with the company as of August 24. Cole does not have a no-compete clause as his contract has expired. Speculation is that Cole will end up in All Elite Wrestling in the near future.
The artist formerly known as Bray Wyatt may have a new home soon.
According to SEScoops.com, IMPACT Wresting is reportedly interesting in bringing Wyatt into the promotion.
Dave Meltzer says that iMPACT officials are “really after Wyatt.” Wyatt was released by WWE in July.
LOS ANGELES (August 11, 2021) – During tonight’s action-packed episode of TNT’s “AEW: Dynamite,” it was announced that the one-hour series premiere of “Rhodes to the Top,” starring AEW’s Cody and Brandi Rhodes, will debut on Wednesday, September 29, at 10 p.m. on TNT.
“Rhodes to the Top” goes inside the lives of Cody and Brandi Rhodes as they navigate their growing family while helping to build AEW’s global wrestling empire. The additional four, 30-minute episodes will take viewers behind-the-scenes as the powerhouse couple manage their ever-busier lives inside and outside the ring, all the while surrounded by a colorful and often hilarious motley crew of wrestlers, family and friends who both support and test them at every turn. Married in 2013, Cody and Brandi have been on an unprecedented path to wrestling greatness – but will now face their newest and possibly biggest challenge yet – becoming parents.
“Rhodes to the Top,” from Warner Bros. Unscripted Television, is produced by Shed Media. The series is executive produced by Dan Peirson and Lisa Shannon of Shed Media, Bernie Cahill and Jon Kanak of Activist Artists Management, and Tony Khan, CEO, GM and Head of Creative of AEW.
