This week's "WWE Raw" ended with a surprise Money in the Bank cash-in from this year's briefcase holder Austin Theory. He decided to turn over his guaranteed title opportunity for a shot at taking the United States Championship off a less-than-100% Seth Rollins but his efforts wound up unsuccessful, thanks to interference from Bobby Lashley. According to Fightful, Theory's call to cash in was not listed internally for the night's show, perhaps to keep it from coming out and spoiling the surprise.
Theory's unsuccessful cash-in was not the only thing not listed on the evening's run sheet either. Nikki Cross vs. Dana Brooke was not listed as being a 24/7 Championship match. Cross would defeat Brooke for the belt, but she (attempted) to dump the gold in a trash can backstage.
AEW announced MJF for Wednesday's episode of AEW Dynamite, tweeting, "TOMORROW on Wednesday Night 'AEW Dynamite', we'll hear from MJF, the #1 contender challenging Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title at Full Gear, for the first time since he was attacked by Stokely Hathaway & The Firm!"
Speaking of MJF, he will be making his film debut in "The Iron Claw" as Kevin Vaughan, the 1980s wrestler who was briefly passed off as a cousin of the Von Erich wrestling clan. PWInsider.com noted that MJF's absence from AEW television last week was due to his role in the film, which is now in production.
AEW revealed that there will be an exclusive update on the AEW Fight Forever video game next Saturday, Nov. 19 during the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view.
R-Truth has confirmed he will require surgery following an injury that occurred on the November 1 episode of "WWE NXT" while competing against Grayson Waller. In a video posted to Twitter today, R-Truth stated, "Hey, hey, hey. What's up? First off, I want to thank each and every one of y'all for y'all concerns and your get-wells, your prayers, your support. Yes, unfortunately, I got hurt. I did tear my quad tendon, and I'm at the surgery now as we speak. It is what it is, right? Y'all know I'll be back. I wanna thank you. Without you, there ain't no me. I'll be back before y'all know it."
Killing the Business, Inc, the company The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) are associated with, recently filed for a trademark for the term "The Wayward Sons" on November 3.
