It is a busy time for news in the professional wrestling world, so letÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ get right to it!

AEW All Out tonight

In their second match in 10 days, new AEW champion Jon Moxley will defend his title against CM Punk tonight in the main event of AEWÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ All Out PPV.

It will be interesting to see which direction the company goes, considering it is taking place right outside of PunkÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ hometown on Chicago.

There will be 11 matches on the PPV with three more taking place on the Zero Hour preshow.

The second biggest match is Bryan Danielson taking on Chris Jericho.

NXT PPV this afternoon

In an obvious move to host a show that could hurt All Out, NXT is presenting When Worlds Collide at 3 p.m. this afternoon.

I am surprised the show isn’t going head-to-head with AEW, but how much of an effect on PPV buys will this show have, considering it is airing only a few hours before All Out?

In the main event, NXT champion Bron Breakker defends his title against NXT UK champion Tyler Bate in a unification bout.

Four of the five announced matches will be unification bouts between NXT and the closing NXT UK.

Strowman to WWE

Former WWE Universal Braun Strowman has signed a new contract and could appear as early as Monday on Raw.

Fish right behind him?

Strowman may not be the only former contracted WWE performer returning to the company.

Bobby FishÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ AEW contract ran out on Aug. 31, and he could be on his way back under the WWE umbrella.

Boxing champ back to WWE?

Tyson Fury returned to WWE Saturday at Clash at the Castle, and it is not surprising to see him involved again.

Could it lead to a match against either Roman Reigns or Drew McIntyre?

This column was submitted Friday night, so the results, and FuryÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ appearance, aired after this column ran, so we will look at it more next week.

This Week in History…

In 1987, the WWF held its third King of the Ring event. The event became a PPV in 1993, but this was a house show in Providence, R.I.

In the finals, Randy Savage defeated King Kong Bundy.

This weekÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ question

Do you think WWE will be sold in the near future? Shane, Elizabeth.

It is a very distinct possibility, and I would guess an entertainment conglomerate would have to be the front runner.

Whether it be Comcast, Amazon or some other entity looking for live content, if the price were to be right, then yes, I could see WWE getting sold.
