POTENTIAL AEW INJURY OVER WEEKEND, MJF ACTING, DANHAUSEN NOD TO CLASSIC HORROR FILM, SKYE BLUE, AEW TAG TITLE CHANGE NOTE AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2023-10-09 11:30:00

There was talk after Saturday's Ring of Honor taping that Kip Sabian banged up his jaw and might have been injured.  We haven't been able to confirm the nature of the injury but he was in the ring being checked out by AEW's doctor after a match with Anthony Henry that will air this Thursday.

We are told the AEW Tag Team Championship change over the weekend is not related to Cash Wheeler's ongoing legal case in Florida.

Julia Hart and Lee Johnson will be getting married this week.  Our congratulations to the happy couple and their families!

AEW's Skye Blue will be doing a live, interactive signing this Thursday at 5 PM with our friends at HighspotsAuctions.com.

The recent Danhausen return promo was a takeoff of the old Happy Halloween song from Halloween III - Season of the Witch:

Announced for Friday's Rampage broadcast is The Gates of Agony with Prince Nana vs. Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta.

AEW Collision will broadcast from Toledo, Ohio at the Huntington Center this Saturday.  Announced thus far is AEW TNT Champion Christian defending against the winner of tomorrow's Swerve Strickland vs. Bryan Danielson bout.

Prince Nana is appearing on the 10/29 Championship Wrestling from Memphis, TN TV taping.

The latest DC animated film Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part Two, featuring the voicework of AEW Champion MJF as part of the cast will be officially released on 10/16 for digital rentals and purchased ahead of a 10/31 DVD release.  MJF will also be seen playing Lance Von Erich in the forthcoming The Iron Claw when it is released on 12/20.  Here is the press release supporting the DC film that was issued a few weeks ago:
