What is going on guys, it is WrestleAmia here, back with another video, join us now as we look at this week's Dynamite, as well as the wildest news stories and rumours you need to know including, Braun Strowman reports he's partially paralysed on one leg,

Why Roman Reigns was almost done with WWE, WWE's plans to save NXT, John Cena tears up whilst commenting on Edge, a WCW star passes away, AEW collision ticket sales are tanking, Booker T blasts Ryback and much more.

Also check out our new channel WrestleAmia Shorts.

Now as always we don't recap the matches but just look at the good, the bad and the downright ugly.

As always we start off with the good as number 1 more MJF microphone magic.

Now what happened to Adam Cole?

That's the question MJF had last night and one fans of the Undisputed Era Adam Cole might have been asking as Cole seemed speechless against MJF.

The AEW World Champion told Cole he grew up idolising him but then questioned who the guy in the ring was, mocking Cole's attitude, his physique and even mocking him for WWE's lack of faith of him on the main roster.

MJF even brought up the long standing rumour that WWE wanted Cole to manage Keith Lee, even name dropping Vince McMahon.

While no one is on the salt of the earth level right now, Cole seems so outclassed that you have to wonder why this segment went so long.

As entertaining as it was when MJF spoke but it made fans wonder whether keeping Cole as a babyface makes sense.

Number 2 Solid International Title Match.

A rumour has it that AEW is building up the International Championship in order to make it the central championship on Collision.

If so AEW has done a sensational job as has current title holder Orange Cassidy.

Freshly squeezed can work with any type of opponent in the ring, although they do need to be careful not to book him against opponents who clash with his comedy stylings.

They have also given Cassidy a variety of credible opponents including last night's challenger Swerve Strickland.

Swerve is a capable challenger and gave the champ a run for his money.

Number 3 Statlander Vs. Anna Jay Delivered.

Congrats to AEW for giving Chris Statlander her first good match since she captured the TBS Championship.

Anna Jay is a main event caliber talent but she's come a long way and we like seeing Statlander wrestle a fresh opponent as opposed to her last match with Nyla Rose as how many times do we have to see that one.

AEW also teased a Taya Valkyrie heel turn as she didn't look happy watching Statlander with the title she fought so hard to win.

And the Matt Hardy-Ethan Page storyline has potential.

Does the current storyline of Matt Hardy owning heel wrestler Ethan Page's contract have potential?

Well indeed it does but both with the potential for being a ridiculously and possibly stupid storyline but also for it being a good way to remind fans of Matt Hardy's comedic talents and to help get Ethan Page over.

The premise of Matt and Jeff Hardy convincing Page to use his ego for good could make for some interesting twists and turns.

But that was a good what about the bad is number 1 a hit and miss show.

And next week's Dynamite looks good with AEW booking some major matches.

This makes sense as AEW likely wants to get fans pumped for next week's debut of Collision.

However why didn't AEW book last night's show better?

Sure there were some good matches as you'd expect but the show seemed flat and didn't have the usual mayhem and excitement fans expect on Wednesday nights.

And number 2 enough with the Tony Khan appearances.

Does Tony Khan need to show up every time there's a big announcement?

While AEW deserves credit for most of it's big announcements actually being big, there are many ways to make an announcement without the AEW president showing up.

A hype video announcing Collision's big trio match involving Punk and FTR vs Bullet Club Gold would have sufficed.

We think Tony Khan has started to fall into the same trap Dixie Carter did in Impact, getting a taste of the spotlight and appearing more frequently.

Let's hope Tony doesn't start showing up as part of storylines now.

There was nothing downright ugly as AEW showcased it's huge array of talent.

Unfortunately something was missing from last night's show and it seemed like much of a placeholder show which is never good especially when AEW's facing stiff competition from the WWE.

What do you guys think of Dynamite this week?

Let us know in the comments down below.

Now let's move on to the news.

Our first story looks at Braun Strowman reports he's partially paralysed in one leg.

Our top of the news is an update on Braun Strowman's medical condition.

Strowman is recovering from neck fusion surgery but that's not his only issue.

The monster among monsters told Fightful, So my right arch is collapsed on my right foot and my left leg is 15% paralysed.

So I switched to these new shoes.

It's a UK brand called Viva Barefoot and it's actually helped me strengthen my feet.

It is believed Strowman is going to be out for some time as he recovers from surgery and hopefully he'll be 100% soon.

Next up why Roman Reigns was almost done with WWE.

Roman Reigns is at the top of the wrestling world but 3 years ago was a much different story as Paul Heyman recently revealed that Reigns was at his wits end when it came to WWE primarily the way he was booked.

The Tribal Council recently spoke with Rick Rubin on Rubin's Tetragrammaton Punkcaster revealing how the combination of the pandemic and a questionable future trouble Roman Reigns.

He's not exposing himself to this pandemic that we don't have a grasp on how severe it can be quite just yet and at the same time he's had enough of the creative.

These things are running concurrently.

The feud rivalry story with Baron Corbin over dog food and the infamous Suffer and Suck a Tash promo had weighed on him enough to where he said I've had enough, I've reached the cap, I can't go further.

Roman took a leave of absence after the pandemic struck explaining that he didn't want to risk his health or his family's health especially in light of his compromised immune system.

According to Heyman, Roman felt as the big dog I've peaked.

As an athlete, I haven't peaked as a performer.

I've barely scratched the surface.

I have so much more to offer and since I'm taking time off, I'm not coming back as the same person.

As Heyman explains it, Vince McMahon realized the problem and took drastic action telling Paul that he was putting him with a new client.

Heyman had no idea who it would be.

Indeed Heyman recalled how he thought, he's certainly not putting me with Roman and he goes, I'm envisioning Roman Reigns with Paul Heyman.

And I'm thinking, oh my god, he's gonna pull the trigger on this.

He would never pull it with Cena.

He would never have allowed John Cena to come to the dark side.

Now the rest is history as they say and Roman is enjoying the most successful run in his career and in some fans opinions the greatest run in modern day WWE history.

Next up, Roman Reigns tag match about to be confirmed.

Speaking of the Tribal Chief best wrestling experiences reporting another tag match for Roman is discussed.

Some will fume but it's a story and we need to lay out and watch.

Y'all know you don't need me to tell you how things should play out.

Fans have heard rumors about an Uso vs Roman Reigns Solo Sokova match at Money in the Bank for weeks now.

Expect to see the match confirmed soon on Smackdown as the bloodline continues to crumble.

Next up, WWE's plan to save NXT.

The WWE Universe has seen an influx of main roster stars on NXT leading to theories on why the black and gold brand is getting so many guest stars and in some cases wrestlers joining the roster.

One reason is that veterans can help NXT performers master the WWE style but according to Dave Meltzer, Nick Khan has a business reason for these appearances.

Speaking on The Observer, Dave Meltzer noted the idea is to bring main roster superstars to NXT every week, boost the ratings and try to up your price for a renewal for USA Network.

Brom Brekker recently challenged World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins to defend his title on NXT which could be one of the show's biggest matches.

Next up, WCW star passes away.

Now we're saddened to have to report another death in the wrestling world just a day after the news of the death of the Iron Sheik.

Former WCW enhancement talent Jeff Gann has passed away.

According to Rainside News, the news of Gann's death was announced by women's wrestling legend Susan Green although no further details were provided at this time.

WCW fans will remember Mr. Gann's work as the gambler who served as an enhancement talent for the promotion during the 1990s.

He also competed in the USWA.

We send our condolences to Mr. Gann's friends, family and fans.

Next up, AEW collision ticket sales tanking.

Now bad news for AEW as ticket sales for its upcoming collision shows are said to be terrible.

Cage Size Sheets commented, while the announcement of CM Punk has helped move tickets for the Chicago premiere, per Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer, AEW collision ticket sales elsewhere have been bad.

He specifically mentioned there being less than 2,000 sold for the Toronto show and only 700 for the Hamilton, Ontario.

Those aren't good numbers and AEW needs to make sure its new TV show doesn't seem like it's booking empty arena matches every week.

Next up, John Cena tears up whilst commenting on Edge.

Now the 16-time world champion and the Rated R Superstar have had some bitter rivalries in the past, but John Cena recently couldn't hold back the tears when he was interviewed by WWE and talked about what the Rated R Superstar means to him.

Cena was very emotional in this interview and he said, I just hope everyone watching knows just how gifted, caring and amazing Adam Copeland is.

He's a good human being.

He's a great human being.

He loves sports entertainment.

He's given so much to you guys, and I also think he's aware of what you fans have given him.

Now, Edge has hinted numerous times that this year or next year could be his last year ever wrestling.

Edge has noted that he'd want to hang up his boots in Toronto, Canada, making a very fitting end to an illustrious wrestling career.

And finally, Booker T blasts Ryback.

Last but not least, it looks like fans won't be seeing Ryback appear on Booker T's show.

Booker recently called out Ryback for what he views as Ryback's constant attacks on the wrestling industry, especially in light of Ryback's recent rhetoric of wanting to wrestle Bill Goldberg.

When Ryback left the company and went out on this world tour to bash everything about wrestling, even to the point where he said the titles aren't even real, now you want to try and get back in?

Guys like that, man, just go home.

You blew the bridge up.

So it's like coming back to this business, it seems like you should be wanting to move on in life.

Here's an excerpt from two fiery tweets from Ryback.

Hey Booker T, you're better than that.

At least I thought you were.

It's beyond obvious where you get your paycheck and if you want to be an actual man then pick up your phone or talk publicly with me.

That two time hall of famer tweeted though, the invitation is rescinded for Ryback.

Making demands for you to come on my show says a whole lot.

You don't really want to have a conversation.

What do you guys think of this latest chapter in Ryback's book, How to Burn Bridges with Everyone and Anyone?
