(STINGER: AEW)

One tag team will punch its ticket to All Out tonight.

The Lucha Brothers and Jurassic Express will meet on tonight’s AEW Rampage. The winner gets a shot at the Young Bucks’ AEW Tag Titles inside a Steel Cage at All Out.

Also on tonight’s show AEW Champion Kenny Omega & Brandon Cutler vs. Christian Cage & Frankie Kazarian.

Plus, Tay Conti vs. The Bunny.

First it was the City of Chicago...then, Cook County, Illinois...Now, the entire state is under an indoor mask mandate...regardless of whether you’re vaccinated or not. The statewide mandate goes into effect on September 5th - the same day as All Out. But as we mentioned, local indoor mask mandates are already in effect for the areas where AEW and other promotions are running shows next week.

(STINGER: WWE)

As of Thursday night, we have no matches announced for tonight’s SmackDown...BUT we are being promised some follow-ups on the two big returns at Summerslam - Brock Lesnar and Becky Lynch, who is now the SmackDown Women’s Champion.

Rampage Brown KNOCKED OUT Joe Coffey to win the main event on Thursday’s NXT UK.

Kenny Williams beat Oliver Carter to advance in the Heritage Cup #1 Contender Tournament. Williams scored the deciding pinfall after he cracked Carter over the head with a steel drinking bottle.

Also on the show, Aoife Valkyrie used a steel chair to put away Jinny in a No Disqualification Match.

(STINGER: ROH)

Dragon Lee defends the Ring Of Honor TV Title on this weekend’s ROH TV...against Eli Isom.

Also on this weekend’s episode - two more quarterfinal matches in ROH’s women’s title tournament: Angelina Love vs. Max The Impaler...and Allysin Kay vs. Trish Adora.

(STINGER: Impact)

The Impact Tag Team Champs could be in some trouble.

The Good Brothers lost a non-title match to Rich Swann & Willie Mack in the main event of last night’s Impact Wrestling. Swann caught Karl Anderson with a roll-up for the pin.

The Good Brothers beat up on Swann & Mack after the match.

An in-ring confrontation involving Impact Champion Christian Cage, the #1 contender Ace Austin and Tommy Dreamer resulted in Scott D’Amore making a match between Austin and Dreamer for next week’s Impact...and if Dreamer wins, he gets added to the Impact World Title match at Victory Road.

Also last night, Chris Sabin pinned Sami Callihan…

Moose took down both men after the match, and was set to bring a baseball bat down on a steel chair sitting across Callihan’s neck...but Eddie Edwards ran out to save Callihan.

Chris Bey used a roll-up and a handful of tights to pin David Finlay.

Madison Rayne, Tenille Dashwood and Kaleb With A K won a 3-on-1 match over Taylor Wilde. Jordynne Grace & Rachael Ellering cut off the post-match beatdown. That sets up a 6-person tag for next week.

Also next week, Matt Cardona & Chelsea Greene are going to challenge Rohit Raju & Shera.

Some new names are now announced for the NWA’s Empowerrr pay per view on Saturday, including “90 Day Fiance” star Paola Mayfield, who will be facing Kenzie Paige. Another match now announced for Empowerrr: Christie Jaynes vs. Skye Blue.

Major League Wrestling’s Court Bauer tweeted Thursday that an MLW Women’s Championship is “in the works”.

As for possible contenders, MLW announced Nicole Savoy will debut for the league at its show in Philadelphia on October 2nd.

(STINGER: New Japan)
