It’s Saturday and that means Wrestling Observer Live with myself, Jim Valley.

We got another #becauseofthefans promo this week on AEW Dynamite from Ruby Soho, but let’s analyze and decide if it indeed qualifies as #becauseofthefans. 

Gambling and WWE made headlines this week as they are making inroads to having legalized betting on matches in select U.S. states.

Everyone is asking the obvious questions, but nobody is asking the most important question: what would Kenny Rogers say? Let’s answer that question in song with vocals by Matthew Lindley (aka Matthew Lindley on Bandcamp) 

Plus, let’s talk Rey Mysterio to the WWE Hall of Fame, a new sponsor, and more.

This is a very fun show, so check it out.

Ruby Soho returns to AEW television on Dynamite

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Ruby Soho made her return to AEW on Wednesday’s Dynamite, laying out Tay Melo.

Melo accompanied Anna JAS to the ring for her match against Willow Nightingale. After Nightingale scored the win, Melo got JAS up to her feet when Soho’s music started to play. Soho appeared from behind and attacked Melo, eventually giving her the Destination Unknown on the entrance ramp.

Soho had been out of action since early September, when she broke her nose in a match at the AEW All Out Zero Hour pre-show that had her and Ortiz team together in a losing effort against Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo in a match that had been for the AAA Mixed Tag Team titles. Soho had taken a knee to the face during the finish of the match, causing the injury.

A month after the match took place, Soho wrote on Twitter that she underwent surgery to repair her nose. She had previously mentioned that he had a broken nose in two places and a “mess of a septum.”

Ruby Soho has undergone surgery for the broken nose she suffered at AEW All Out.

On Tuesday morning, Soho shared a post-surgery photo of herself on social media. She captioned it with: “Finally! After a month since breaking my nose at All Out. The countdown begins until I can breathe again, can’t you see my excitement?!”

Soho suffered the broken nose while teaming with Ortiz against AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions Tay Melo & Sammy Guevara on the pre-show for All Out this September. Soho was injured when taking a knee to the face from Melo during the finish of the match.

Soho revealed on September 22 that she would need to have surgery for the injury. Soho said she had a broken nose in two places and a “mess of a septum.”

In addition to missing time for AEW, Soho also had to pull out of a show for 1PW in the United Kingdom on October 1. It was announced that Soho will instead be in action at a 1PW event on February 18, 2023.

Following the injury that she suffered at All Out, AEW’s Ruby Soho is set to undergo surgery.

Soho suffered a broken nose while teaming with Ortiz against Tay Melo & Sammy Guevara on the pre-show for All Out earlier this month. It was revealed today that, with her having to undergo surgery, Soho won’t be able to appear at 1PW’s A New Twist of Fate event in the United Kingdom on Saturday, October 1.

Soho said she broke her nose in two places and also has a “mess of a septum.”

“Due to the injury that I received at All Out, a broken nose in two places and a mess of a septum, I have to have surgery. And due to the scheduling of that surgery and the recovery time, I won’t be able to make it to the show on October 1,” Soho said in a video uploaded by 1PW. “You guys, I’m really, really sorry that I’m not gonna be there. Honestly, this is the only thing that would keep me from coming back to England. I was very, very much looking forward to that show and very much looking forward to meeting all of you and seeing all of you again. So for that, I do truly apologize.”

1PW announced that Soho will instead debut for the promotion at their No Turning Back event on Saturday, February 18, 2023.

Melo & Guevara retained their AAA Mixed Tag Team titles against Soho & Ortiz at All Out. Soho suffered the nose injury when taking a knee to the face from Melo.

Ruby Soho suffers broken nose at AEW All Out Zero Hour

AEW’s Ruby Soho suffered a broken nose in the opening match of Sunday’s All Out Zero Hour event. 

Soho’s injury came at the conclusion of the Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo vs. Ortiz and Soho AAA Mixed Tag Team title match as Soho took a Tay KO from Melo directly to the face. Soho immediately covered her face with her hands as Melo pinned her, then was checked on by referee Rick Knox. Soho continued to hold her hands over her face as she left the ringside area. 

Earlier in the contest, Soho took an awkward landing on her neck, and also landed awkwardly on a superplex to the floor spot, appearing to land with her tailbone directly on the floor. 

Melo and Guevara won the match to retain the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship, concluding the Guevara and Melo vs. Ortiz and Soho trilogy that began on the August 26 Rampage episode.

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Several AEW wrestlers are set to appear in the next season of “Carpool Karaoke: The Series.”

AEW’s Britt Baker, Christian Cage, Bryan Danielson, MJF, Powerhouse Hobbs, CM Punk, and Ruby Soho will be featured as a grouping for a season five episode of “Carpool Karaoke: The Series.” The season premieres on Apple TV+ on Friday, May 27.

The other groupings that will be appearing during the season are:

  • Actor Simu Liu & actress Jessica Henwick
  • Murray Bartlett, Alexandra Daddario & Sydney Sweeney of HBO’s “The White Lotus”
  • TikTok stars the D’Amelio family (Charli, Dixie, Heidi & Marc)
  • Actress/musician Zooey Deschanel & Jonathan Scott of “Property Brothers”
  • Brazilian superstar Anitta & rapper Saweetie

“Carpool Karaoke: The Series” is a spinoff of the Carpool Karaoke segment from “The Late Late Show” with James Corden.

“The Apple TV+ series doesn’t feature Corden, and instead pairs and groups different celebrities with one another to go for the musical ride of a lifetime — with personal playlists, sing-alongs, visits to their favorite locations and surprises for unwitting passersby,” Variety wrote.

“Carpool Karaoke: The Series” first premiered in 2017. John Cena appeared on a season one episode, while WWE-themed episodes were part of season two and season three.

The trailer for the new season is available to watch below:
