Business Updates
WWE
Unfortunately, during the match for the NXT Tag Team Championship, Dexter Lumis suffered a cranial injury that will see him sidelined until 2022. The titles were swiftly vacated. On the same day, Jordan Devlin was let go.
Nia Jax continued to get paid for one-night deals until WWE could find a viable team for her and Shayna to drop the Women's Tag Team Championships to. However, they never found one, as a severe knee injury suffered during an NXT match forced her to retire.
In further vacancy news, Daniel Bryan announced a hiatus to combat burnout whilst still Intercontinental Champion.
AEW
Certain publications have predicted a financial crisis on the horizon for AEW...
Thunder Rosa has accepted an MMA fight, and has gone away from NWA temporarily to train.
Impact
One more shock title vacation for the road: Rob Van Dam surprisingly walked out on Impact whilst holding the World Title. This leaves the #CancelCulture stable down to Jake Crist and new member "Safety First" Shawn Hernandez (who talks about the irresponsibility of hardcore stunts).
---------
Happenings
Shock as NJPW undergoes a sexual abuse scandal that could do major damage to the biggest wrestling company in Japan.
CZW's reputation has taken another hit as scumbag owner DJ Hyde reportedly set up cameras in the women's locker room. How can the company recover from this?
