Starrcast sent us the following details on their Full Gear seats and packages:

GREAT NEWS! We were able to secure the most prime seats in the house from AEW — Lower Level right by the ring! Sections 108 and 110 are across from the “hard cam” and Section 107 is right next to the “hard cam” where many VIPs will be sitting! Thursday at noon Eastern we will make Platinum Bundles available to the public, one day ahead of the AEW“on sale!”

Here is what will be available:

The Platinum Bundle will include a pair (2) of STARRCAST Platinum Bracelets, a pair (2) of FULL GEAR tickets for seats in Lower Level Section 108 or 110 (these sections are across from the camera with a face value of $125/each before fees) or Lower Level 107 (right next to the hard cam, some of the best seats in the house), and a pair (2) of VIP Bracelets for the Official After Party. As a reminder, Platinum Bracelets receive the best views of the stage shows and “front of the line” access for Meet & Greet lines whenever possible.We should also note that these sections have limited seating and as a result we are making these available in pairs only. These are the best seats in the house so this package is EXTREMELY LIMITED at only 236 total pairs being made available. When they’re gone, THEY’RE GONE!

Based on the limited number of tickets that were made available, there is not a Gold Bundle option available at this moment. Should they become available, we will email you again with that information.

Impact Reportedly Pulling Killer Kross From Upcoming Event Due To Concerns Of Lawsuit

When Impact fans last saw Killer Kross, he was defeated by Eddie Edwards in a First Blood Match at Slammiversary XVII. Kross had a kendo stick jammed into his mouth during the match which resulted in blood and the loss, however, it turns out it was not his blood.

According to PWInsider, Kross refused to blade during the match because there was no outside medical personnel in attendance. Impact was forced to track down fake blood hours before the show to book the match and the finish as planned.

Kross hasn’t been booked since then and Impact is reportedly planning to remove him from their September 15 AAA event in New York amid concerns that Kross will soon be suing Impact.

Kross’ problems with the promotion precede Slammiversary as he’s been in a contract standoff with Impact for months. He doesn’t feel as though he’s being compensated fairly and he made that clear during a July interview on Wrestling Inc.’s  WINCLY podcast.

“I don’t have anything disparaging to say about the company and I made that clear,” Kross said. “The bottom line is that I’m a human being. Killer Kross might not be a human being but I am. The guy behind the glass coat is and personal circumstances change in life. I felt I was contributing to a greater degree than I was being compensated and I tried to find a common ground with them but we weren’t able to find one. But I’m a professional through and through.”

“My status with them: hard to say. But I’m going out there and giving everybody my best,” Kross said before adding that he should’t say anything about getting a better deal from Impact because “hypothetically they could use it against me.”

Kross also noted that he would like to stay with Impact if everything can be worked out but it’s of best interest to him and his family to be compensated what he feels that he’s worth.

Kross does have the ability to wrestle for independents and he did just that recently. On September 1 he defeated Tom Lawlor at a Warrior Wrestling event which was highlighted by Impact and Warrior Wrestling World Champion Brian Cage defeating Michael Elgin.

AEW World Title Belt Allegedly Stolen While Chris Jericho Was Eating Dinner, Jericho Comments, Police Have Found It

AEW World Champion Chris Jericho had his title belt stolen just days after becoming the inaugural champion by defeating Adam Page in the main event of Saturday’s AEW All Out pay-per-view.

A local police blotter in Tallahassee, Florida listed the incident report, seen below. Jericho apparently had the title go missing while he was eating dinner inside a Longhorn Steakhouse at 2400 North Monroe Street. Police were called and an investigation was launched.

Below is the full incident report with details on what happened. The report lists the crime as grand theft:

“The victim reported the theft of his championship wrestling belt while he was eating inside Longhorn Steakhouse. The victim stated he arrived at the Millionaire Club Airport Terminal and placed the belt inside his rented limousine. The limo driver shuttled the victim to Longhorn for dinner. The victim remained at Longhorn while the limo driver returned to the airport. The victim had taken the wrong luggage from the airport and the driver took it back to the terminal. When the driver picked up the victim from the restaurant, the belt was missing. Responding officers searched the limo and airport for the belt without success. On-call CID was consulted, and forensics responded to the scene.”

The report lists Jericho as the victim – Christopher “Jericho” Irvine.

The Arby’s fast food restaurant chain, which often tweets about WWE

and AEW happenings, posted a tweet today and jokingly offered to assist Jericho, making a reference to his band Fozzy.

Chris Jericho Issues Statement On AEW World Title Theft.

The AEW Twitter account posted a video of Jericho addressing the situation like only he can. Jericho promised to launch a “worldwide investigation using the top private investigators” to get to the bottom of the theft.

“I’m AEW Champion Chris Jericho and unfortunately, less than 24 hours after I became the first AEW Champion, with blood streaming down my face after one of the hardest matches I’ve ever had in my life, some low life scumbag committed grand larceny and robbed me of the AEWChampionship. Now, as I sit here in my beautiful mansion, I’m just imagining what I would do to that son of a b—h if he was here right now,” Jericho said.

He continued, “I’m launching a worldwide investigation, using the top private investigators in the world today, to find out who committed this crime. Trust me, as the AEW Champion, I promise to regain and restore and find and reclaim the AEW Championship, and once again give you another reason to finally give me the ‘thank you’ that I deserve. You’re welcome.”

The Tallahassee Police Department has apparently recovered the stolen AEW World Title Belt. AEW Tweeted that the case was solved with a thank you to the Tallhassee PD along with a screen shot of a post from the Tallahassee Police Department of a officer with the Title with a message to Jericho that they have something that belongs to him.

Tony Khan Confirms Kylie Rae Is No Longer Part Of AEW

Kylie Rae has been granted her release from AEW.

According to media in attendance at the post-All Out scrum, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about Kylie’s status. Khan said Rae requested her own release and it was granted.

He also said it was a quick and amicable process.

As you’ll recall, Rae was part of a four-way match at Double or Nothing in Las Vegas and was seemingly pegged to be one of the stars of AEW’s women’s division. Shortly after, however, she deactivated her social media accounts and pulled out of a few bookings.

No word at this time on the reason for her request.

Bayley Turned Heel On Last Night’s RAW

Last night’s WWE RAW from Baltimore saw SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley turned heel on RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch.

The turn came after the Women’s Championship Showcase main event, which had Bayley and Lynch teaming to face WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross in a non-title match. Sasha Banks appeared during the match and watched from ringside, after previously locking in a title match with Lynch at WWE Clash of Champions.

Banks attacked Lynch during the match to cause the disqualification, and beat her down with a steel chair until Bayley made the save. Bayley then took the chair from Banks, and hesitated before smiling and unloading on Lynch. RAW went off the air with the crowd chanting “yes!” before Bayley ended her assault on The Man.

Banks will challenge Lynch at the September 15 Clash of Champions pay-per-view. Bayley will defend against Charlotte Flair that same night.
