Josh & Fightful’s Kate Elizabeth recap everything that happened in August 2022.
AEW
The Josh Nason’s Punch-Out 2022 pro wrestling year in review series says farewell to summer with a final look back at August.
Joining me on the beach is first-time guest Kate Elizabeth of Fightful.
It’s a heavy AEW month with the build to All Out which saw the return of CM Punk to confront Jon Moxley leading to a title unification match first on Dynamite instead of at the pay-per-view.
And then, the result and shortness of that first match had fans wondering what the deal was. We discuss all that, plus the return of Kenny Omega after a long absence due to multiple surgeries.
Kate and I also talk about all the internal issues for AEW in August which included WWE contract tampering, talents growing tired of issues backstage, and an all-hands talent meeting.
It was a quiet month for WWE as the Paul Levesque creative era began to take effect with multiple returns including Johnny Gargano, Hit Row, Karrion Kross and others.
Plus, the best of Impact, Japanese wrestling, the indies and more.
