David Benoit Attends WWE Event After Saying He Was Banned (Photo)
Chris Benoit’s 26 year old son David Benoit recently appeared on the “Pro and Bro Wrestling Podcast” and stated that he was no longer allowed backstage at WWE events. It was speculated that Benoit’s ban may have been handed down after he was photographed wearing an AEW jacket while backstage at a WWE live event back in March.
In an update, it looks like the younger Benoit may have been wrong about the WWE ban as he was backstage at a WWE live event in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada this past weekend. Natalya tweeted the photo seen below with David, Tyson Kidd and Cesaro.
She wrote, “Edmonton Vibes!!! #WWELive #DavidBenoit @TJWilson @WWECesaro (Cesaro with the photo bomb)”

For what it’s worth, the interview with Benoit was published earlier this month, almost two full weeks before he attended the weekend live event.
David, who is close with AEW World Champion Chris Jericho, also revealed that he attended AEW Double Or Nothing and All Out earlier this year. He also talked about wanting to join AEW.
“I’m just messing around in the ring right now with a couple of guys from AEW,” David said. He continued, “I want to go to AEW one hundred percent. I love AEW. I love what they do for the boys. Take care of them.”

Impact Wrestling Announces Move To Tuesday Nights On AXS TV
Not only does Impact have a new home for their TV show starting next month, the company has now announced they’ll also be moving from Friday to Tuesday night on AXS TV.
According to the press release:
AXS TV, the exclusive U.S. television broadcast home for IMPACT Wrestling, one of the world’s pre-eminent professional wrestling organizations, today announced IMPACT Wrestling will launch on the network on Tuesday, Oct.1 at 8pE/5pP.
Leading up to the debut of its flagship weekly show IMPACT! on October 29, AXS TV will showcase IMPACT Wrestling’s critically acclaimed pay-per-view events of 2019, broadcasting each of Homecoming (October 1), Rebellion (October 8) and Slammiversary XVII (October 15) in their entirety and hosted by Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore and the voice of IMPACT Wrestling Josh Mathews. Finally, on October 22, THIS IS IMPACT! will serve as a launchpad for the promotion’s AXS TV debut, featuring a preview of the weekly series, profiles on IMPACT Wrestling’s biggest stars and exclusive non-televised matches from BOUND FOR GLORY, IMPACT Wrestling’s biggest pay-per-view event of the year to be held on Sunday, October 20 in Chicago.
As we previously reported, Impact’s parent company Anthem Sports and Entertainment acquired a majority interest in AXS TV back in September. The company announced a few days later that Impact would be moving to AXS TV — the home of NJPW in the United States and WOW.
For those keeping track, yes … this means Impact will occupy the time slot previously held by SmackDown Live once the show moves to FOX.

AEW And TNT Confirmed To Be “Talking About” Producing Companion Studio Show
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite hasn’t even premiered yet, but a TNT official confirmed they’re already “talking about” producing an additional studio show with AEW.
Brett Weitz – General Manager of TNT, TBS and truTV – confirmed talk of a second studio show while speaking with TheWrap.
“I don’t know if you’ve met Tony Khan, but he’s not short of ideas — or passion,” Weitz told the publication. “So there is a world where we’re thinking about ‘Where does something like that live?’ Knowing full well that within the WarnerMedia ecosystem we have B/R Live, we’ve got all these different components at our disposal.”
Adding, “The more content for these fans the better, and we would love to figure out what something like that looks like.”
“It may not happen on October 2, which is what we’re all kind of gunning towards, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was something that [launched] shortly thereafter,” Weitz additional said in regards to the potential companion series. “We’re thinking about it for sure.”
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite premieres October 2 on TNT at 8pm ET.

Maury Povich Sends Paternity Test Invite To Mike & Maria Kanellis
Maury Povich of The Maury Show took to Twitter today to issue an invitation to Maria Kanellis, Mike Kanellis and Rusev, to come on his show for a paternity test.
“Maria, Mike, Rusev… no need to fight it out in the ring! If you’re looking for a paternity test, give us a call,” Povich said.
We noted last week how there had been a pitch within WWE to bring Povich into the Kanellis storyline. He films his long-running TV show in Stamford, CT, near WWE’s HQ and TV studios. Last week Povich’s Twitter account responded to a WWE tweet that commented on who the father of Maria’s baby boy is, and that started the storyline involvement.
As noted, Maria first named Ricochet as the father of her child on last week’s RAW but that just led to Ricochet squashing Mike after he insisted Maria was lying. Maria then brought back Rusev to WWE TV and named him as the father. Rusev also squashed Mike in a quick match. It was reported last week, via the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, that WWE plans to keep building the storyline to another reveal, and that Rusev won’t be the father in the end. Maria is just over 20 weeks pregnant with her son, which will be her second child with Mike.
