AEW Introducing New National Championship

AEW is adding some fresh gold to its lineup — and the first-ever AEW National Champion will be crowned later this month.

During this week’s AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan officially announced that a Casino Gauntlet Match will take place at Full Gear 2025 on November 22 to determine the inaugural champion. The new title pays tribute to the classic NWA National Championship, a belt that debuted in 1980 and was once held by legends like Jack Brisco, Dusty Rhodes, and Tully Blanchard. The original NWA version was unified with the U.S. Title in 1986 before being reintroduced years later — but as Khan pointed out, a “National Championship” hasn’t been featured on TBS in nearly four decades.

Khan also revealed that the AEW National Championship won’t be limited to AEW rings. The new title is designed as a traveling championship, meaning it can be defended across promotions worldwide, including New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor, as well as on AEW programming.

So far, the lineup for the Casino Gauntlet is already shaping up with some big names. Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and Ricochet were confirmed as the first three competitors, and more entrants are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

With AEW Full Gear 2025 just around the corner, fans can expect plenty of speculation — and surprises — as the company crowns its newest champion and adds another layer to its growing championship scene.

NJPW Star Tomohiro Ishii Sidelined with Shoulder Injury Following AEW Collision Match

New Japan Pro-Wrestling has confirmed on their website that Tomohiro Ishii will be out of action for the foreseeable future after suffering a dislocated shoulder during his recent AEW Collision bout with PAC.

Fans were quick to notice Ishii’s absence from the upcoming Blood & Guts lineup on AEW Dynamite, where the Conglomeration (Darby Allin, Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong) are set to battle the Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia). Many assumed Ishii had simply returned to Japan for NJPW duties—but it turns out the “Stone Pitbull” is on the shelf instead.

In a statement, NJPW expressed regret over the situation, apologizing to fans and wishing Ishii a quick recovery. No specific timetable has been announced for his return, with the company noting that his status will be evaluated later.

For a competitor as notoriously tough as Ishii, this injury comes as a rare setback. Over nearly three decades in the ring, the NJPW Strong Openweight Champion has built a reputation for his unbreakable spirit and punishing style, rarely missing time due to injury. In fact, outside of pandemic-related breaks, Ishii has competed almost continuously for 29 years.

Given that history, this shoulder dislocation could mark the longest layoff of Ishii’s storied career. Wrestling fans around the world will no doubt be hoping the “Stone Pitbull” bounces back soon and returns to delivering the hard-hitting battles he’s known for.

Cody Rhodes Reveals His Next WWE Contract Could Be His Last

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has dropped a major revelation about his future in pro wrestling. Appearing on the All The Smoke podcast, “The American Nightmare” admitted that the next contract he signs with WWE will most likely be his final one.

At 40 years old, Cody says his priorities are shifting — and family comes first. Drawing inspiration from his late father, WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, Cody explained that he wants to follow in Dusty’s footsteps by stepping away from the ring while still young enough to enjoy life with his children.

“My dad was around a lot when I was growing up,” Cody shared. “That made a huge difference for me. Now that I’m a parent, I want to give that same experience to my kids.”

Rhodes admitted that juggling WWE’s demanding travel schedule with being a full-time husband and father hasn’t been easy. While his passion for wrestling remains strong, he knows that someday soon, it will be time to close this chapter and fully embrace family life.

Cody’s revelation adds an emotional layer to his ongoing title reign — one that fans will surely cherish even more knowing this could be his final run. For now, the Undisputed WWE Champion remains at the top of his game, but when he eventually walks away, it’ll be on his terms — just like a true Rhodes would.

Rey Mysterio Returns to Raw, Draws the Line with Dominik Over “King of the Luchadores” Claim

After weeks of speculation, the legendary Rey Mysterio made his long-awaited return to WWE Raw last night — and he didn’t waste time making a statement. The WWE Hall of Famer, back from a groin injury, confronted his son, Dominik Mysterio, who has been riding high as both the Intercontinental and AAA Mega Champion.

Dominik kicked off the segment in classic fashion, bragging about his recent victories over Rusev and Penta at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Declaring himself the “King of the Luchadores,” Dominik claimed to have surpassed not only his father but the entire lucha libre tradition. That’s when Rey’s music hit, and the arena erupted.

Rey, clearly emotional, told his son that while he could boast about championships all he wanted, calling himself “King of the Luchadores” was crossing a sacred line. The elder Mysterio reminded Dominik that such a title carries generations of history — invoking names like El Santo and Eddie Guerrero — and accused his son of disrespecting their heritage.

Dominik didn’t back down, firing back that there’s one luchador he knows he’s better than — his own father. Rey, refusing to let the insult stand, removed his jacket, ready to throw down. Tensions hit a boiling point when Dominik took a swing, only for Rey to block the punch and connect with a flurry of his own. Moments later, the WWE Universe was on its feet as Rey nailed his son with a 619. He went to the top rope for a frog splash, but Dominik wisely rolled out of the ring before his father could seal the moment.

Rey Mysterio’s message was loud and clear: as long as he’s around, Dominik may hold gold, but he’ll never be the true “King of the Luchadores.”

With Rey officially back in action, it looks like the Mysterio family war is far from over — and this chapter might be the most personal one yet.

Candice LeRae Reportedly Preparing For New Chapter Behind The Scenes In WWE

After more than two decades of competing inside the ring, it looks like Candice LeRae is preparing for the next phase of her WWE career — and this time, it’s happening behind the curtain.

According to a new report from Wrestling Observer Newsletter, LeRae has begun training to become a backstage producer. She’s reportedly already taken on producing duties for matches on WWE Main Event, marking a major transition from her long run as an active performer.

In recent months, LeRae’s on-screen role had shifted primarily to managing her husband, Johnny Gargano, alongside Tommaso Ciampa in their #DIY reunion. Despite the trio’s popularity, LeRae has struggled to maintain a steady in-ring presence, appearing in only a handful of matches on SmackDown throughout 2025.

This new direction puts her in good company, joining a growing list of former WWE competitors who have successfully transitioned into producing roles — including Molly Holly, Robert Roode, and Shane Helms, all of whom have played key parts in shaping the product fans see each week.

Before stepping into this new position, LeRae had still been active within the company, working select NXT live events and occasional Main Event tapings over the summer. She also made appearances at several of WWE’s biggest Premium Live Events this year, including the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and Evolution.

While her in-ring future remains uncertain, LeRae’s move backstage ensures her experience and knowledge will continue to impact WWE programming. Given her 22-year career on the independent scene and in WWE, she brings a veteran perspective that could help develop the next generation of women’s wrestling talent.

It’s not uncommon for performers to find a second career behind the scenes, and if LeRae’s history is any indication, she’ll approach producing with the same passion and professionalism that made her one of the most respected names in women’s wrestling.
