*Chris Jericho & Jake Hager vs. Ethan Page & Scorpio Sky.
This will mark CM Punk’s first time wrestling on TV in over 7 years.
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.

WWE announced the following:
LOS ANGELES and STAMFORD, Conn., July 26, 2021 – WWE® (NYSE: WWE) and Blumhouse Television are partnering to develop a limited scripted series called, The United States of America Vs. Vince McMahon. Jason Blum’s company, Blumhouse, will develop the series for television, led by Blumhouse TV President Chris McCumber. The series, The United States of America Vs. Vince McMahon, will be the first-ever scripted dramatic portrayal of a chapter in WWE’s history. Additionally, it is also the first scripted portrayal of McMahon as well as many of the legendary Superstars of that era.
The show will delve into WWE during the 1990s, at the time Rupert Murdoch had purchased the New York Post to further his massive infiltration into the U.S. media landscape. For years, infamous Post writer Phil Mushnick regularly hammered WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon in his column. Headlines like “Legislators Give WWE A Free Pass On ‘Roids” and “McMahon Skips Through the Cemetery” eventually captured the attention of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York – the nation’s most prestigious federal prosecutor’s office with a conviction rate of over 96 percent.
In 1994, the U.S. government indicted McMahon for allegedly supplying anabolic steroids to WWE talent. McMahon, with his liberty at stake, two school-aged children at home and with WWE on the brink of bankruptcy, refused to take a plea deal. Ultimately, McMahon stood trial and was acquitted unanimously by a jury of his peers and went on to build a multi-billion-dollar global sports entertainment empire.
“Jason, Chris and their team at Blumhouse create amazing work and we look forward to delivering an inside look into one of the most pivotal moments in our company’s history,” said Kevin Dunn, WWE Executive Producer & Chief of Global Television Distribution.
“We have a dramatic, riveting saga – one that’s crazier than fiction – that will appeal to the cross-section of Blumhouse and WWE fans,” said Chris McCumber, Blumhouse Television President. “To say I’m thrilled about collaborating again with WWE is an understatement.”
McMahon, Dunn, Blum, McCumber and Jeremy Gold will serve as executive producers on the project.
The Blumhouse Television team, led by McCumber, have made several significant development announcements in the last few weeks, including: the straight-to-series pick-up of The Thing About Pam, starring Renee Zellweger in her broadcast TV debut for NBC; Blumhouse Ghost Story, the scripted series based on The Battersea Poltergeist BBC podcast, and the companion unscripted series; the continuing series based on Patricia Cornwell’s world’s best-selling “Kay Scarpetta” novels for a major; and the exclusive multi-year partnership with ITV America for provocative, disruptive and terrifying content to every corner of the non-fiction space, including Escape the Maze (wt) the first project derived from the partnership; among several other announcements.

WWE Legend Dave Bautista (known as Batista to WWE fans) says he is retiring his portrayal of Drax the Destroyer after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Bautista took to Twitter and told fans that he is retiring the character because “I’ll be 54 for god’s sake!”. The actor has played the role since 2014 and has appeared in four Marvel movies.
“I don’t know what the script of the third film is, to be honest with you,” Bautista said in an IGN interview. “There was a script years ago that obviously is going to have to change because the whole direction of the Marvel universe has changed.”
Bautista said that Guardians director James Gunn has pitched a Drax spinoff. “There were talks for a while about a Drax and Mantis film,” Bautista said. “It was really because it was James Gunn’s idea. He really wanted to do a Drax and Mantis film. He laid it out to me. I thought it was such a brilliant idea, but I haven’t heard any follow-up from the studio. I don’t think they’re very interested, or it doesn’t fit into the way they have things mapped out.”
Bautista also told IGN that Gunn offered him a role in Suicide Squad. “I had the ‘Suicide Squad’ where I got to work with my boy again, even though it’s a smaller role, and then I had ‘Army of the Dead’ on which I get to work with Zack, I get to build a relationship with Netflix, I get a lead role in a great film – and I get paid a lot more money,” said Bautista.
Will you miss Bautista as Drax?
