Some unfortunate news for some AEW stars.

Fightful Select has learned that Julia Hart is again sidelined with an injury. Hart has faced a few injury problems recently, and is expected to be off of television. Hart recently returned, but was injured again in the weeks leading in to AEW Dynasty where she dropped the TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale.

Early indications were that Julia Hart would require surgery on the injury, although specifics on what it is aren’t known. She’s not planned for upcoming AEW television as things stand.

In addition, Fightful Select has confirmed Will Hobbs' injury, as reported by Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer. We're told that it's a significant injury, and Hobbs isn't expected back any time soon.


I think Hobbs injured his knee running into that turn buckle. That's why the finish felt a lil rushed. Damn. Shyt was starting to pick up for him
 
You made part of my point. She was champ...based on what other than being chosen as the next "one" for the women's division. She drops the title but hardly went away. She has essentially been given the Orton rub where she is going to be pushed until the fans love her.

She was champ based on being the best woman on the roster lmaoooo come on bruh

Everything else you said is a matter of your personal perspective which is objectively false. You fail to realize they've been high on her even before they signed her. Nothing about how shes been booked reflects being shoved down our faces til we "love her"
And you still havent said what else you want them to do with her

In a follow up on Drew McIntyre, there was talk yesterday he may make appearances on TV as his heals his hyperextended elbow. He will 100% be off live events. McIntyre is slated to be at Backlash: France this weekend.

Fomer AEW Champion MJF did a signing at C2E2 in Chicago over the weekend and was sporting his arm in a sling. The belief is he recently underwent surgery. He met with AEW officials a few weeks back in Boston, but beyond that, has not been at any event.

There have been some NXT talents privately expressing concern there could be cuts coming since they were untouched by recent WWE releases, since everyone who was cut were technically under the purview of main roster deals.

WWE NXT's Matt Bloom is in town for tonight's Raw.

Kamille noted on Twitter she signed a deal back in February. My gut is it's with AEW, but we will see.

Added to this Friday 5/3's TNA Under Siege PPV will be Frankie Kazarian & Steve Maclin vs. Eric Young & Josh Alexander as well as TNA Digital Media Champion Laredo Kid vs. Zach Wentz.

Billy Corgan's NWA added Tennessee's Kross Fire Wrestling as a new affiliate territory over the weekend. We are told there are a long list of independent promotions seeking to sign up for similar affiliate deals but NWA Preident Billy Corgan is seeking to work with specific groups as opposed to just linking up with any promotion interested. The promotion has the Crockett Cup in Texas on 5/18 and then their anniversary show on 8/31 in Philadelphia.

All episodes of the Billy Corgan's Adventures In Carnyland reality series will drop on 5/14 on the CW App. There are eight episodes in the first season.

There's hope within MLW that the 5/11 Chicago return may be the biggest attendance for the promotion in a long time, possibly ever.
