WWE NXT 10/1 Set in Chicago for CW Debut Unveiled

WWE NXT is entering into a new era for the brand, and the October 1 episode. Fans are gearing up to see what the brand has to offer, from debuts to other unexpected moments, and they also got a nice looking set.

Fans already got their fist look at the new logo, but that’s not the only change for the brand. They took their show to Chicago’s Allstate Arena, and the company’s developmental brand had a lot in store for fans.

Fans lined up well in advance to get into the Allstate Arena for this week’s episode. Once they got in, they were treated to a new set for NXT.

As you can see, NXT is all ready to go in the arena for this week’s show. Fans are gathering and taking their seats, as they can’t wait to see everything that the brand has to offer, including CM Punk as guest referee in Ethan Page and Trick Williams’ NXT Title match. Roxanne Perez will also put her title on the line against Giulia in a match that could steal the show.

We will have to see what WWE brings for the NXT brand to light up The CW for their premiere. It will be very interesting to see how the viewership turns out, but fans are certainly ready for the show to start at this point.

The NXT Arena is also getting an upgrade, so they will have a new looking home upon their return. They are in Chicago this week, but next week’s episode is in Saint Louis. Tickets to the October 8 show at The Factory in Saint Louis are still on sale via Ticketmaster.

CJ Perry Rocks Jaw-Dropping Look at Joker: Folie à Deux Premiere

CJ Perry may not be officially tied to any pro wrestling company right now, but she is still very much in the public eye. The former Ravishing Russian, Lana, from WWE was recently spotted at the premiere for one of this year’s biggest movies.

Joker: Folie à Deux actually premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on September 4, 2024, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on October 4, 2024. It has received mixed reviews from critics, but CJ Perry seemed to have loved it.

CJ Perry was at an early screening for The Joker 2, and she looked stunning in the photos she shared from the event. Perry also noted in her comment that she really enjoyed Lady Gaga’s performance.

“Thank you @wbpictures for having me at the @jokermovie premiere last night !!!! @ladygaga you stole the show Queen !!!!!!!! #Joker #JokerFolieADeux”

CJ Perry seems to be enjoying herself, even if she is split from Miro after seven years of marriage. The fact that she keeps showing up at hard to get into events like this is a sign that she’s still achieving a certain social status that many would love to attain.

It was revealed in July that CJ Perry was actually released from AEW. We will have to see if she shows up anywhere else, but it’s bound to draw attention wherever she does appear next.

You can check out CJ Perry’s photo gallery from the Joker premiere below. We will have more updates on whatever she does next here at Ringside News.

First Look at New WWE NXT Logo Before 10/1 CW Debut

WWE’s NXT brand is embarking on The CW as their new broadcast home. Every new era of the black and gold brand saw a new design for the logo, and this time is no different.

In the lead-up to WWE NXT’s debut on The CW Network, it has now been revealed that the NXT brand will undergo several updates to its presentation. As NXT evolved, fans anticipated a fresh look to accompany the show’s new era on the network.

It was previously reported that a new logo for WWE NXT was expected for their CW era. Ringside News has obtained a photo of the new logo and we have our first look at what they will use to represent the brand.

The new logo showcased a sleek silver and black design with a more rectangular shape, marking a significant departure from the multicolored NXT 2.0 logo introduced in 2022.

This change indicated that NXT was moving toward a more streamlined and modern aesthetic as it stepped into its next chapter. Odds are, fans will have to adjust to this new look, but it’s not too different as they start off on The CW.

These updates show that NXT is committed to its continued evolution as they keep bringing the Superstars of tomorrow to fans. With the debut on a major network like The CW, NXT is breaking out this new logo. Only time will tell what’s next for the brand and what they bring to The CW.

Bryan Danielson Issues Challenge to Kazuchika Okada for 5-Year AEW Dynamite Anniversary

AEW will celebrate their 5-year anniversary for Dynamite on October 2 in Pittsburgh. A show that big will have a lot of important matches, and Bryan Danielson will put the biggest title in the company on the line.

The AEW World Heavyweight Champion posted a video on Monday night that could shake up the company in a big way. He needs an opponent for Wednesday, and Bryan Danielson knew exactly who he wanted to direct his anger at.

Bryan Danielson started off his little promo while saying, “f*ck Jon Moxley.” He’s obviously not happy about getting suffocated at All Out. Then Bryan started cutting a promo, one that included a challenge.

“I’m laying out a challenge for the Five Year Anniversary of #AEWDynamite, this Wednesday on @tbsnetwork.”

Bryan Danielson laid down a challenge for Kazuchika Okada for AEW Dynamite this week. He wants his third match against Okada this Wednesday night.

Danielson and Okada have faced off twice before, and this time the AEW World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line. Bryan wants to be a fighting champion, and he’s going to bring everything he can to Okada this week.

AEW will have a packed show for their 5-year anniversary Dynamite. Tickets for Pittsburgh’s show are still available at Ticketmaster.

Wyatt Sicks Threaten That The Reckoning Is Here During Promo on 9/30 WWE RAW

Wyatt Sicks Threaten That The Reckoning Is Here During Promo on 9/30 WWE RAW

The Wyatt Sicks are known for getting attention with their crazy promos and vignettes. The September 30 WWE RAW included another strange video at the end of a commercial break as the show breached into the third hour.

This week’s promo sent out several threats and ominous phrases. Then it all capped off with another QR Code. Those QR Codes have become a signature of the stable, as Bray Wyatt was also known to use them.

This QR Code went to a very strange website, one that said, “You Refused Salvation Your Reckoning Is Here.” This was a website on WWE.com, but created for this promo.

The big question is who the stable was directing that message toward. They had a target on American Made for a long time, ever since debuting, but they have also run through Chad Gable’s faction. It will be interesting to see if they start tormenting a new enemy on the red brand.

Bo Dallas and his faction of intimidating allies could really do a lot of damage in WWE. Obviously, they are far from finished with the QR Codes and mystery as they get to their final destination.

We will have to see what this means in the grand scheme of things. The Wyatt Sicks are certainly not gone, but they are lurking in the shadows for now. Only time will tell when they will strike next.

Rey Mysterio Unmasked During 9/30 WWE RAW

Rey Mysterio Unmasked During 9/30 WWE RAW

Rey Mysterio is the Greatest Mask of All Time, a status that he earned after decades of work in the ring. He has been unmasked before, and spotted in public without his face covered, but the WWE Hall of Famer lost his mask this week in a controversial match.

The September 30 WWE RAW, Xavier Woods and Rey Mysterio had a singles match. This contest went on to further Woods’ ongoing storyline, where he is showing a bit of frustration and heel characteristics.

During the finish of the match, Rey Mysterio managed to escape a hold from Woods and hit him with a hurricanrana, which sent Woods crashing into the ropes. Rey set up for a 619, but Woods dodged it just in time. Seizing the opportunity, Woods pulled off Rey’s mask and rolled him up for the win. This was quite a shocking moment, and Woods seemed very surprise to pull off the win in this way as well.

After the match was over, Kofi Kingston made it clear that it wasn’t kosher that Woods won like he did, but they quickly moved past it. Woods just wanted to brag about beating a WWE Hall of Famer like Mysterio.

This was followed by Kofi Kingston saying that Jey Uso offered him an IC Title match next week, but he turned it down. Instead, Woods is getting the match. Xavier was very happy about that, because he believes he can beat Jey Uso.

Xavier Woods is inching toward a heel turn, and that could be a big deal. He will also face Jey Uso for the IC Title during the October 7 WWE RAW. Only time will tell what’s next for him.
