We have had 3 WWE PLE in UK in recent times, WWE Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales on 3 September 2022 was the first WWE PLE since WWE Insurrextion on 7 June 2003. This was then followed by WWE Money in Bank at 02 Arena on 1 July 2023. The most recently installment WWE Clash at The Castle Scotland from OVO Arena, Glasgow on June 15 2024. Today i'd like to focus on WWE Clash at The Castle PLE's and after two of them in recent years what legacy is it creating in the UK. Everyone remembers Summerslam 1992 at Wembley and how much that meant to wrestling fans in the UK and what it did to shape fans of wrestling.  To have a full PPV authentic from America with the biggest stars, from the biggest show - it was one of the biggest moments for UK Wrestling fans ever. Alot of those fans who attended later becoming, wrestlers and personalities in the wrestling business today both in the UK and abroad. It help shaped a future generation to have a love and a passion for something that se...

I want to preface this blog with this, what is written here is my own opinion, I'm an AEW Fan and none of us (apart from Tony Khan and CM Punk) fully know what the full situation. Its merely my opinion on the CM Punk saga in AEW and what Ultimately led to his demise within the company It's  been just over a week since CM Punk was fired by AEW for cause. Tony Khan went out in front of the world and the hometown of himself and CM Punk, Chicago to inform them that CM Punk was no longer wrestling for AEW and had been terminated.  See the video below via Youtube of Tony Khan announcing CM Punk firing from AEW. CM Punk joined AEW on August 20 2021 amongst so much fanfare in Chicago at AEW Rampage it was an emotional moment and incredible moment, something we thought we would never see.  You can see CM Punk return below from AEW Youtube channel (which has been viewed over 16 Million times!) It made people feel happy, the thoughts of the dream matches, the feu...

Following AEW All Out Pay Per View on Sunday Sept 4, the comments by CM Punk and the furore that followed with alleged backstage fight, biting and all out chaos, It led to CM Punk being Stripped of his AEW World Title and Nick Jackson, Matt Jackson and Kenny Omega (The Elite) being stripped of their newly won AEW Trios titles. The weeks that have followed there have been unconfirmed reports of legal action and wrangling behind the scenes as well as Ace Steel reportedly being let go by AEW. The dust has ben settling since the incident took place and it looks like now that there may be a return on the table for The Elite. The Promo above aired on Wed 26 Oct AEW Dynamite where it showed pictures and footage of Nick, Matt and Kenny and in every one that was shown they were being dissolved on screen and their bodies and faces disappearing. This got me thinking what are we going to see from the trio on their return and what could their promo video mean? I have an idea, a theory on this it co...

It has been 7 Years since CM Punk Left WWE in 2014 and left pro wrestling to move into MMA, Acting and Movies and seemingly leave pro wrestling behind.  CM Punk stated on many occasions he wasn't interested in wrestling and he didn't feel there was any reason for him to come back.  When CM Punk did talk about wrestling he stated he wanted a new challenge and if he did want to come back it would have to be something that he was interested in and something that he wanted to do, not just coming back to come back. CM Punk coming to All Elite Wrestling has been rumoured ever since the inception of All Elite Wrestling as a company, it was strongly rumoured at Starrcast 3 (A wrestling convention) in which CM Punk did a sit down/Q&A about his career on 31 August 2019, however Punk was asked the question whether he would appear the next day, at All Out he said no and nothing did take place.  See the full Starcast interview below  So what has changed? Honestly it...
