Roddy Piper’s Daughter Teal To Compete At All Out

Teal Piper, the daughter of wrestling legend Roddy Piper, will be a participant in AEW’s Casino Battle Royale match during the All Out pre-show.

The announcement was made on the latest episode of “Road to All Out.” Brandi Rhodes reveals the match will include all female participants this year, with the winner getting a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship.

As we previously reported, the first women’s champ will be crowned on AEW’s TNT debut.

In the video, Teal talks about what it was like growing up as the daughter of Roddy Piper. While she doesn’t say how long she’s been training, Piper says she feels like making the leap to the wrestling business will help her feel closer to her father in the afterlife.

Former Lucha Underground star Ivelisse and ex-WWE wrestler Jazz were also revealed as competitors in the match set to take place on August 31.

Watch episode 4 of “Road to All Out” below.

* Nyla Rose talked about she always knew who she was and initially had to put on a mask to hide who she really was. Over time, Rose realized that wasn’t healthy for her and she decided to be who she wanted to be. Rose says the one place she thought would shun her (the wrestling business) was the first place to completely embrace her. Rose said it was incredibly humbling when people from AEW came to her and said they wanted her to work for them. Rose continues that she’s put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into the business and it feels surreal that she can be where she’s at, and be herself.

Cody Rhodes Responds To Vince McMahon’s ‘Blood And Guts’ Comment

During a recent conference call with WWE investors, Vince McMahon made reference to AEW featuring “blood and guts” … and now Cody Rhodes has responded to his former boss.

In case you missed it, McMahon talked about plans to loosen up the family friendly nature of WWE programming during the call and made a few subtle digs at AEW in the process.

“There will be something we do in terms of a direction of content — more controversy, better storylines, etcetera,” Vince explained. “But at the same time, we’re not gonna go back to the quote ‘Attitude Era,’ and we’re not gonna do blood and guts and things of that nature, such as being done on perhaps a new potential competitor.”

He also said WWE has graduated from “gory crap.”

In a new video for AEW promoting tickets to their October 2 debut television show taping on TNT, Cody didn’t shy away from responding and stated:

“Recently there were some very public comments made about us where we were referred to as ‘blood and guts.’ Blood and guts. And it was said with such a braggart candor that you would think the person saying it felt that they were bullet proof. But I wonder, before they said it, if they tasted their own words before they spit them out. Because the entirety of our business is built on blood and guts. Every man or woman who ever stepped foot in the ring — regardless of race, color, creed, political affiliation, sexual identity — has felt blood and guts and PASSION! Because if we don’t care, they don’t care. So if you say we’re blood and guts, I say you bet your ass we are blood and guts.”

Marko Stunt Signs With All Elite Wrestling

Indie star Marko Stunt took to Twitter yesterday to reveal a big 23rd birthday present he received – a contract from All Elite Wrestling.

Marko made his AEW debut back at the Double Or Nothing pay-per-view in late May, participating in the Casino Battle Royale on the “Buy In” pre-show. He entered at #7 and was eliminated by Ace Romero, without picking up any eliminations. Stunt then accompanied Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy to the ring at Fight for the Fallen earlier this month for the Triple Threat tag team match against Angelico and Jack Evans, and winners The Dark Order. Stunt also worked the All In event in 2018, participating in the Over Budget Battle Royale on the pre-show.

Entertainment Reporter Chris Van Vliet Signs With AEW

Entertainment reporter Chris Van Vliet announced today that he is joining All Elite Wrestling to work as a backstage interviewer for the AEW on TNT TV show, which premieres on Wednesday, October 2.

Van Vliet appeared as the “Control Center” segment host in the recent “Road to All Out” series on YouTube. He has been interviewing WWE Superstars for a few years now.

You can see Van Vliet’s full post below:

“I’m honored to announce that I am officially joining @allelitewrestling on October 2 for the first show on TNT!As a lifelong wrestling fan, this is a dream come true to mix my passion for broadcasting and pro wrestling as a backstage interviewer for AEW!

Growing up, I idolized the larger-than-life characters in the ring and I wanted nothing more than to be a professional wrestler.

When I was 20 years old, I enrolled in a wrestling school in Toronto but my wrestling dreams were put on hold as I chose to focus on graduating with an honors degree in Communication Studies and pursuing my other dream of being a TV host. During my senior year, I called every TV station in town and finally earned an internship that led to my first ever on-air job. Every day, I drove 60 miles each way for that job and worked part-time in the fish department of a pet store at the mall to make ends meet. That has since grown into a 15 year broadcasting career and a YouTube channel where I’m still blown away that I get to have conversations with some of the biggest wrestling stars on the planet.

I have loved working as an Entertainment Reporter for @decodrivetv on @wsvn over the last 5 years. My co-hosts @shireensandoval and @lynnmartinez123 are the best in the business—as are the producers, editors, photographers, administrators, studio crew and everyone else at Channel 7. You have all helped me grow so much as both a broadcaster and as a human since I moved to Florida from Ohio in 2014. I am so grateful to have been able to share incredible stories on TV and to also travel the world and report from some of the biggest red carpet events.

If you’re reading this, I’ve got two words for you: THANK YOU! I couldn’t have done ANY of this with you and your support.

And here’s the best part — we are just getting started!!”
