Wrestling Observer Live: Cody & Roman, live perspective of WWE SmackDown in Sacramento

Posted on by Jim Valley

Wrestling Observer Live Saturday with Jim Valley. Minutes before the show started, Sports Byline Producer Daniel mentioned he went to SmackDown Friday night in Sacramento.

Not only did we have his thoughts, but we also kept talking during the commercial breaks. So it’s a longer show with bonus content:

  • Was the crowd bummed that some main event stars weren’t there?
  • Who did they like?
  • Who was the most over?
  • Who does Daniel think saved the show for the live crowd?

The Cody and Roman confrontation was CINEMA! It was pretty. But was it effective, or too over the top? If Cody and Roman are CINEMA, then Chelsea Green is Lucille Ball, a brilliant comedian.

Plus, The Outrunners are moving up. Can they be more than a one-hit wonder? All that and more, all done on the fly. Check it out.

All star 10-man tag team match signed for AEW Collision

Posted on by Josh Nason

The first match for this Saturday’s AEW Collision is official, featuring ten men who are looking to fight each other as soon as possible.

FTW Champion Hook will join with FTR & The Outrunners against the Grizzled Young Veterans, Roderick Strong, The Beast Mortos and the returning Rush.

FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) took on the team of James Drake & Zack Gibson on last Saturday’s Collision, picking up the victory. After the win, GYV immediately attacked FTR and were prevented from doing further damage by The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum).

The other storyline wrinkle for Saturday is that Strong will challenge Hook for his ceremonial title on part of next Wednesday’s Grand Slam event from Queens, New York.

This will be Rush’s first AEW action since a mid-August tag team win alongside Kyle Fletcher.

This Saturday’s Collision emanates from Springfield, Massachussetts, and will be followed by a taping of Rampage for the following Friday.

Sting will be in action this Wednesday.

The AEW star will team with Darby Allin on Dynamite to take on The Outrunners. Tony Khan on X pointed out that it would be the first time since 1989 that Sting would be wrestling in Oregon, and likely his last time.

“In his first match in Oregon since 1989 and likely his last ever Oregon match, Sting will team up with Darby to fight The Youngest Men Alive in Portland this WEDNESDAY!” Khan wrote.

Sting announced last month that his final match would take place at AEW Revolution next year. At Full Gear on November 18, he will team up with Allin and Adam Copeland to take on Christian Cage, Luchasaurus, and Nick Wayne.

It was also annouced on Monday that Hikaru Shida and Timeless Toni Storm will also have a sit-down with Tony Schiavone ahead of their Women’s title match at Full Gear.

  • Sting & Darby Allin vs. The Outrunners
  • Jay White vs. Mark Briscoe
  • Tony Schiavone sits down with Hikaru Shida and Timeless Toni Storm
