History is known to repeat itself. As many witnessed, Adam Copeland (formerly known as Edge) and Chris Jericho were key figures in WWE’s most rambunctious period in pro wrestling history: the “Attitude Era.” Surprisingly, both men would later leave the promotion that brought them such televised recognition, and head to WWE’s top competitor since 2019, AEW, with Jericho joining immediately after the last brick was laid, and Copeland, four years later, in 2023. While many are hoping that nostalgic feeling will reappear in front of them with these two locking up in an AEW ring, the WWE Hall of Famer doesn’t see that happening with “Le Champion” anytime soon, ya dig?

“We kind of fill a little bit of the same lanes. So, I feel at this point putting us together you kind of lose what guys like us bring to the table,” the former two-time TNT Champion told TVInsider. “I think if we start working with new faces, that’s better. FTR is a new face to me. I’ve only wrestled them once. There is so much opportunity. It’s the same with Chris. He still hasn’t wrestled everyone here. There is new talent coming in all the time. Then I look at Christian [Cage] and I, I look at FTR and the Young Bucks, and then you start going down the line of tag team names. We’re going to be busy for a while.”

Similar to their positions in the “Attitude Era,” Copeland and Cage are looking to publicly humiliate FTR by taking their pride and egos away as AEW’s newest World Tag Team Champions, tonight at Dynasty. As for Jericho, the former “Learning Tree” guru will also be on tonight’s pay-per-view card, competing in his first match since last April’s Dynasty, against the very smug and overly confident, Ricochet.

WWE NXT North American Champion Myles Borne wants to win in every aspect of his life. Fortunately, he seems to be on a promising track to do so as he’s already enjoying great success in his professional affairs. Beyond that, Borne is in a happy personal relationship with fellow WWE star Stephanie Vaquer.

During an interview with Denise Salcedo, Borne detailed the origin story of their relationship. “For the first couple of weeks, we knew we liked each other, but I would try to build up the courage to talk to her. And as soon as we’d cross paths, I’d go the opposite direction every time,” Borne said.

“She noticed it. I remember one time we were backstage. I was coming in through one door to go to catering, she was coming through another door, and as we intercepted paths, I turned back around and walked out. I didn’t even eat. I said, ‘Nope, I’m not eating now. I’m just going to be hungry,’ because I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to say to her. Eventually she gave me no choice. She messaged me and she said ‘Hey, let’s hang out. Let’s go have dinner.’ I was like ‘Okay, now I have no choice, I have to just build up the courage, talk to her,’ and it was great.”

According to Borne, his first date with Vaquer resulted in an immediate spark between them, with Borne considering himself a lucky guy. Though now residing on separate brands in WWE, Vaquer and Borne haven’t shied away from publicly supporting each other’s achievements, including Vaquer’s WWE Women’s World Championship victory last September at WWE Wrestlepalooza. Borne himself later got his own taste of WWE gold when he dethroned Ethan Page as NXT North American Champion in February on “WWE NXT.”

After serving as a central figure in the promotion for its first few years, Britt Baker has disappeared from AEW since late 2024, with no public reasons given for her absence. This has resulted in a great deal of speculation, including that Baker has left or is leaving the company. Appearing on “The Coach and Bro,” Tony Khan was asked to comment on wrestlers being put on the shelf, with Baker and Ricky Saints (formerly known as Ricky Starks) brought up as specific examples.

“Each wrestler is a case-by-case basis, but the people you named I really liked having in AEW, and in Britt’s case she is a part of AEW,” Khan said.

The executive continued by discussing the fact that he has a limited amount of TV time to allocate and there simply isn’t enough to fit everyone. He cited positive fan reception and higher TV ratings as proof that what AEW is currently doing is working, and on top of that, Khan pointed out that injuries can play a major role in storyline directions and usage.

“One of the reasons why you see wrestlers come or leave, a lot of times, is because of injury,” Khan stated. “And then it may take some time to work somebody back in because you’ve got different things going with different wrestlers.”

When host Vince Russo brought up Baker again, Khan clarified that he thought she has brought a lot to AEW and he values her as a performer.

Baker’s last appearance took place on November 13, 2024, when she controversially told fellow AEW star Serena Deeb that the audience didn’t care about her. Prior to that, her appearances had been relatively sporadic, with only five matches through the entire year.
