Hindsight is 20/20 and on Sunday’s Wrestling Observer Live, guest host Josh Nason thinks he has clear vision.

One thing that stuck out to him was a big angle that took place at last Saturday’s AEW All Out that, given how the week played out, should have been at AEW Dynamite instead.

He also looks at the happenings from Saturday’s AEW Collision and the sudden glut of mid-card wrestlers all returning from injury and the constant battle for room on TV.

Of course, Josh delves into the weekend that was for both TNA and NXT who are inescapably linked for better or for worse.

He also talks about an unforced error on social media, his thoughts on The Rock’s new Smashing Machine movie, a preview of this week, and more.

Former WWE women’s star debuts at AEW All Out

Posted on by Josh Nason

On a day when husbands and wives will compete against each other on WWE Wrestlepalooza, a less discussed set of spouses reunited during AEW All Out.

Beth Copeland — the former Beth Phoenix in WWE — made her AEW on-screen debut during husband Adam Copeland and Christian Cage’s match against FTR that opened up the pay-per-view.

Following Stokely Hathaway’s continued interference, heavy metal music hit with flames on the video board. Eventually, the word “Beth” was on the screen and Copeland emerged to target the manager. She speared Hathaway and eventually carried him backstage.

After Adam picked up the win with a spear and pin on Cash Wheeler, Beth came back out to celebrate with her husband and Cage when Nick Wayne, Mother Wayne and Kip Sabian appeared and distracted them. FTR attacked Cage and Adam from behind, handcuffing him from behind.

Beth then kissed Adam and got physical with Wheeler and Harwood, slapping and punching them. The two then got her and hit her with a second rope spike piledriver while Adam had to watch.

She confirmed last August that she was no longer under WWE contract, but hasn’t wrestled since a mixed tag bout at 2023’s WWE Elimination Chamber.

WWE Hall of Famer and NXT commentator Beth “Phoenix” Copeland is releasing an album this week. 

Copeland announced on Twitter today that Stone Rose & Bone will be released on major music streaming services on Friday, November 12.

Copeland will also be appearing on WWE’s The Bump on Wednesday, November 10 to promote the EP. 

Copeland has posted video of her musical talents on her social media channels over the years, including piano covers of pop songs and entrance music, as well as blues guitar riffs.

Copeland joined the NXT commentary team in May 2019. She remains the lone holdover from the commentary team when NXT debuted on USA Network in September 2019.
