During WWE NXT broadcasts, it has been confirmed that Carmelo Hayes will face Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Championship at The Great American Bash, the next Premium Live Event in the company's development territory.
WWE NXT: The Great American Bash will take place on Sunday, July 30 from the H-E-B Center in Cedar Park, Texas. Fans will be able to witness this event live from the venue, or through its exclusive broadcast on WWE Network and Peacock.
At the beginning of 2020, AEW confirmed that it was in an extended agreement with WBD until 2023. On the eve of the deadline, rumors of a renewal are becoming more and more latent. And among many twists and turns, everything seems to indicate that we will have news very soon.
Sources at WBD have mentioned that they are expecting the announcement of a closed deal between the summer and fall. The agreement could include the broadcast rights of AEW All In London, and greater exclusivity of the content within the company's platforms.
In the last few hours, it has been reported that Brian Pillman Jr. no longer belongs to Tony Khan's company.
Pillman ended his contract with AEW in the last few hours, for which he is available as a free agent waiting to sign a new exclusivity agreement. The date coincides with the second anniversary of the announcement of his hiring by All Elite Wrestling.
Brian Pillman Jr. joined the company with Griff Garrison in 2020. Their first appearances as Varsity Blondes were limited to AEW Dark and AEW Dark Elevation, moving to a larger plane the following year with several approaches to the Tag Team Championships.
The Loose Cannon's son signed with the company in July 2021.
His biggest match occurred on September 22 of that year, when he lost to Maxwell Jacob Friedman after a brief rivalry on the way to AEW Grand Slam. His last appearance in front of the cameras was at the AEW Dark recordings on March 24, 2023, although he later worked for the AEW House Rules series of non-televised shows.
