AEW News & Rumor Roundup: Ex-champion teases shocking retirement amid absence, major star written off, Edge return update, Jon Moxley's future
Welcome to the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's AEW News & Rumor Roundup. Today we will get to learn about a star from the company's women's division who got written off TV on Rampage. Additionally, a massive Japanese star expressed the desire to retire.
We will also get to know about Jon Moxley's next pay-per-view match and an update on Adam Copeland's All Elite Wrestling return status. So, without further ado, let's begin.
#5. AEW star Rey Fénix urged fans to remain professional
The Lucha Brothers, which consists of real-life brothers Rey Fénix and Penta El Zero Miedo, are reportedly WWE-bound. Their deal with AEW reportedly expired recently. However, Tony Khan prevented them from leaving by adding injury time to their contracts.
Fénix recently issued a statement regarding the recent issues he and his brother have been facing. He urged fans to stay professional and patient.
"There are many things that are not known, but that also should not be talked about. We must wait. Professionalism first and foremost, folks. We must not be the same as all those podcasts that go around spitting out what should not be spit out. Never diminish our work," Rey Fenix said.
Fenix is a former AEW International Champion as well as a former AEW World Tag Team Champion with his brother.
#4. Jon Moxley might defend the AEW World Championship in a four-way match at World's End
Jon Moxley is currently on his fourth AEW World Championship reign. He has defended it once so far. However, his next match will certainly be a massive challenge.
According to Bryan Alvarez during his recent appearance on The Bryan & Vinny Show, the Purveyor of Violence is set to defend his title in a four-way match at World's End. His opponents could possibly be Jay White, Hangman Page, and Christian Cage.
"I’ve since been told that, no, actually, it’s going to be a four-way. Now, granted, this could change, so how they’re going to get to a four-way logically, I have no earthly idea. But apparently, the idea is that it will be that four-way at World’s End.”
#3. Kamille got written off TV
The alliance between Kamille and AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné recently came to an end. The CEO was on the verge of firing her henchwoman, but The Brickhouse quit before she could be axed. Interestingly, on the latest episode of Rampage, the former NWA World Women's Champion got brutally attacked by an unknown assailant.
It remains to be seen who attacked the 32-year-old, but for the time being it appears like Tony Khan has written her off TV.
#2. Adam Copeland could return in AEW Fight for the Fallen
Adam Copeland aka Edge is currently sidelined due to injury. However, Wrestling Observer Newsletter speculated that he would make his All Elite Wrestling return on Fight for the Fallen.
AEW Fight for the Fallen is set to take place in Asheville, North Carolina, the city where the WWE Hall of Famer and his family reside. It would be nothing out of the ordinary if the Rated-R superstar showed up that night.
#1. Kota Ibushi teases retirement
Like most wrestlers, popular Japanese wrestler Kota Ibushi has suffered through injuries throughout his career. He has wrestled in All Elite Wrestling a few times but has not appeared in its programs for a year. Recently, he revealed that his body has not been keeping up with his spirit, and he teased retirement.
“My legs are at their limit, and it could end at any time. I wanted to keep going before I can’t do it anymore… I’m really at the limit, but I want to contribute to the world of professional wrestling before I end my career, so I’m currently appearing in various places.”
Kota Ibushi is a former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion and a former NEVER Openweight Champion.
