New AEW Teaser For The Dark Order Spells Out “Matt Hardy”

AEW posted the latest teaser for the reveal of The Exalted One of The Dark Order last night, adding to the rumors and speculation on Matt Hardy being brought in for the group.

As we’ve noted, Matt is expected to sign with AEW but that has not been confirmed, and there’s no solid word yet on what he will be doing if he does sign with the promotion.

You can see that the first letter of each line in the new teaser spells, “MATT HARDY.”

The teaser reads like this:

MADE FROM THE VOID OF HOPELESSNESS
AND FROM TIME SPENT AWAY WITH THE SHADOWS
THIS IS WHAT IT TOOK FOR ME TO ARRIVE
THE CALLING….HELLO?
ARE YOU THERE?
READY & WAITING
DARK ORDER WELCOMES ME
YOU ARE HERE

Hardy, who is now a free agent after his WWE contract expired last weekend, has not acknowledged the AEW teaser as of this writing. You can see the full tweet below:

Jake “The Snake” Roberts Appears On Dynamite, Teases Client Coming To AEW (VIDEO)

Cody Rhodes appeared on AEW Dynamite last night to call out MJF for cheating in their match at Revolution, but Jake “The Snake” answered his call instead by walking to the ring.

“The Dark Side” will apparently be coming to AEW soon with Jake “The Snake” Roberts, and it sounds like they’ll be targeting Cody Rhodes first.

Roberts said he hated to spoil the party, but he was tired of hearing Cody’s crying/bitching. Jake then explained that he wasn’t there to praise Rhodes, he was there to slay him … and mentioned having a client. “The Dark Side will be coming to AEW,” Roberts added. “And once my roots have taken hold it will be like a phoenix rising from the ashes.”

Jake also noted that he’d be on the outside of the ring for his client’s matches, and that Cody could bring “that one trick pony” Arn Anderson.

Watch Roberts’ promo below.

Tony Khan Confirms The Name Of Their “WarGames” Themed Match At “AEW Dynamite: Blood And Guts”

AEW announced a special episode of Dynamite called “Blood & Guts” that will take place on March 25 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The show will feature two rings covered by a giant cage for a WarGames-like match.

At the AEW Revolution post-event press conference, Wrestling Inc. asked AEW President Tony Khan about the match and using the “WarGames” name, which is owned by WWE. Khan quickly pointed out that the match is not called WarGames.

“I have not used that term and will never use that term,” Khan said. “You’ll never see me using that expression.”

Khan confirmed to us that the match will be called “Blood & Guts.”

“The expression we’re using for this match is Blood & Guts,” Khan stated. “It’s everything to us, it’s a heart and soul struggle, but it’s also a metaphor for our company in that it’s both a serious thing in that it’s wrestling-centric, but we’re also having fun with it.”

Khan said that “it’s a blood and guts match”, and it’s “going to be awesome.”

“Blood & guts” is a play on a phrase Vince McMahon used when referring to AEW during an earnings call last year. When asked about WWE having more competition, McMahon said that he hopes that AEW doesn’t continue “the blood and guts and gory things that they have been doing.”

The Young Bucks Announce Release Of Memoir Titled “Killing The Business”

All Elite Wrestling EVPs Matt and Nick Jackson aka The Young Bucks have announced the release of a book about their careers set for release later this year.

The book is called “Killing the Business: From Backyards to the Big Leagues,” and this week’s episode of Being the Elite kicks off with a commercial promoting its release.

Here’s additional information on the book from the pre-order website:

The electric and daring independent wrestling tag team tells their inspiring story, revealing how two undersized, ambitious amateur athletes from Southern California became the idols of millions of popular sports fans and coveted among the ranks of AEW’s elite wrestling lineup.

Famous for their highflying moves, Superkicks and viral videos, Matt and Nick Jackson are two of the hottest and most talented competitors in professional wrestling today. Known as the Young Bucks, this pair of ambitious brothers are an inspiration to both fans and aspiring wrestlers worldwide due to their message of resilience and determination. That they are also faithful family men devoted to their loved ones gives them additional appeal.

A warm, heartfelt story of hope, perseverance, and undying ambition told with the brothers’ wit and charm, The Young Bucks begins in Southern California, where two young boys grew up dreaming of success and fame. Matt and Nick look back on the sacrifices they made to achieve their ambitions, from taking odd jobs to pay for their own wrestling ring to hosting backyard events with friends. They share their joy at being recruited into the amateur California circuit and the work it took to finally make it professionally, and speak frankly about what it means to have the support of millions of fans cheering their talents in arenas nationwide. The Young Bucks talk endearingly about their sport, their faith, and their families, sharing personal reflections and behind-the-scenes anecdotes while paying tribute to the wrestling acts and inspirations that came before them. They also elaborate on this historical time in the evolution of wrestling, as the sport and its culture dramatically change day by day.

Alternating between each brother’s perspective from chapter to chapter, this entertaining memoir is a complete portrait of what it means to grow into – and give back to – wrestling, the sport and profession they embody and love.

According to Amazon, the book will be released on September 29, 2020.
