AEW蘑菇视频 new talent, Bayley hurt
Wednesday night on AEW Dynamite, Malakai Black made his shocking debut for the company, and it left many people wondering how it could happen.
Known as Aleister Black in WWE, he had been released on June 2 by WWE and had not reached 90 days on WWE蘑菇视频 standard contractual no-compete clause implemented into deals.
Details broke Thursday on what happened, and the bet is that some higher-ups in WWE can鈥檛 be too happy.
When Black was moved up to WWE蘑菇视频 main roster from NXT a few years ago, the company neglected to update his contract from the 30-day non-compete clause that NXT performers receive to the 90-day clause.
How WWE let someone as talented as Black leave in the first place is mind-blowing to those who know how talented he really is. WWE misused Black on the main roster, but then again, that can be said for a lot of performers there.
Black is a major coup for AEW and he is going to be a major player for a long time.
Bayley out
Just before deadline Friday, word broke that Bayley suffered an injury and will be out of in-ring action for nine months.
No official injury has been announced but the belief is that it is an ACL injury.
Best of luck to her for a speedy recovery.

This Day in History
In 1987, Lex Luger defeated Nikita Koloff to win the United States title.
In 1992 at a show in Ric Flair蘑菇视频 鈥渉ometown鈥� of Charlotte, he defeated Randy Savage to win the WWF championship after using a foreign object.
However, Flair accidentally dropped it after the match and the referee reversed the decision and Savage remained champion.
This week蘑菇视频 question
Is Drew McIntyre going to get the belt back soon or is he in the doghouse? I also heard that Vince McMahon is ready to sell WWE to Peacock. Bob Rager from West Brownsville.
While McIntyre will get the belt back at some point, I am not sure if it will be in the near future.
It is possible that WWE will build up to McIntyre winning the belt back since it is going back to fans as of Smackdown this coming Friday. It is a shame that McIntyre蘑菇视频 two title wins came with no fans in attendance.
As far as Vince selling WWE to Peacock, if a company makes the right offer, he would be hard-pressed to not sell the company.
