NJPW announced shortly after “All In” airs this Saturday, NJPW World will have it available for subscribers, but no word on how quickly it will be up on the service. “All In” will be live through traditional PPV, Fite.tv, and ROH’s HonorClub. We will have complete live coverage of the show beginning at 7pm ET on Saturday.
Cody Rhodes says they’ve added “several levels” of security to All In on Saturday due to the recent shooting at a Madden tournament in Jacksonville that left two people dead.
Rhodes participated in an AMA on Reddit and was asked if he and The Young Bucks beefed up security at the upcoming event due to 24-year-old David Katz shooting fellow gamers at GLHF Game Bar on Sunday, then killing himself.
“Security was beefy from the jump,” Cody replied. “But we’ve added several levels and the building is an incredibly secure and disciplined building.”
The Florida shooting also left 10 people injured from gunshots and one with a non-gunshot injury.

Drew Gulak demands another championship opportunity:
Despite a losing effort against WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander at SummerSlam, Drew Gulak has not given up on his quest for a better WWE 205 Live. Believing The Soul of WWE 205 Live got lucky at The Biggest Event of the Summer, Gulak announced his intentions for a rematch.
However, The Philadelphia Stretcher was not satisfied with just waiting for an answer from WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick. As Akira Tozawa prepared to face Colin Delaney, they were attacked by The Brian Kendrick, Gentleman Jack Gallagher and Gulak. Calling out Alexander, Gulak demanded a rematch for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship and declared there would be no peace on WWE 205 Live until he got what he wanted. When the champion confronted Gulak, Maverick and WWE officials did their best to diffuse the situation, but Gulak slipped away when Alexander made his way into the ring.
Alexander has never been one to back down from a challenge and could request that Maverick grant the rematch in an effort to finally silence Gulak.

She made note that in about two months from tonight she will be stepping back in between the ropes to face Alexa Bliss at the Evolution event in New York. Trish stayed ringside while Natalya squared off with Alicia Fox, who was accompanied by Alexa Bliss and Mickie James, and was also featured in a backstage segment with The Bella Twins.
