With only a few more weeks left to go until All Elite Wrestling hosts their debut show, Double or Nothing, the promotion has been rolling out a ton of announcements lately. Some new additions to the roster have been made, and AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes is now looking for some heavyweights to join the promotion. On The Jim Ross Report podcast, Rhodes said that and other AEW officials recently set out on a “hoss hunt,” which Cody says are guys over 6’2″. Cody named Austin Matelson in particular as one name he is interested in signing. Matelson once wrestled for NXT as Judas Devlin and Lucha Underground as Luchasaurus. Rhodes also says that he would like to bring Michael Wardlow into AEW as well.
It was reported not too long ago that SmackDown competitors Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are looking to leave WWE later on this year. Unfortunately for fans of the “Good Brothers,” they have apparently not changed their minds as of yet. In fact, PWInsider reports that the former Raw Tag Team Champions are still very much committed to leaving as soon as their deals expire. Gallows and Anderson will reportedly be free agents late into the year, so it is still possible that perhaps they will change their minds and re-sign with WWE. If not, they will eventually be able to part ways with WWE and join a different promotion. Gallows and Anderson join a long list of WWE stars such as Harper, Sasha Banks, and The Revival who supposedly want out of their WWE contracts.
Raw stars Aleister Black and Zelina Vega are a married couple in real life, which has been public knowledge for a couple of months now. The two of them are now very open about their marriage, but Vega has taken the time to deny a small rumor that has come up. After mentioning that she was dealing an illness on Twitter earlier this week, a fan chimed in to let her know that she may be receiving symptoms of a pregnancy. However, Vega was quick to send a reply squashing all rumors suggesting that she may be with child. For right now, it looks like Vega will still be by Andrade’s side on WWE television every week. Vega and Black were moved to Raw earlier this week as part of WWE’s annual Superstar Shakeup.

Uhm no. You clearly don’t know the difference between being flu like sick and needing vitamin c vs pregnancy morning sickness.. and even if I did, I sure wouldn’t be tweeting about it. So let’s kill that rumor right now. https://t.co/ByyZWOuYv2
