Vince McMahon MISSING From WWE Extreme Rules! HUGE Chris Jericho Match Announced! WrestleTalk News Video July 2018

Alpha Club vs. Bullet Club

And speaking of t-shirts, Chris Jericho debuted his Alpha Club t-shirt during his two-show appearance for New Japan in January this year. While it was originally a funny play on Jericho’s Alpha vs. Omega match at Wrestle Kingdom 12 and Kenny’s Bullet Club stable, it has since become an actual team. On a recent episode of Being The Elite, The Young Bucks – or is it the Bucks of Jericho? – joined forces with Y2J – or is that Y2Jackson? – and their first match has now been officially announced.

On the latest episode of Being The Elite, the Bullet Club team of Omega, Marty Scurll and Cody faced off with Alpha Club and revealed that a match between the two teams couldn’t take place on land, or in the desert, or in space, or in a box, or even on a peninsula – but it can take place at sea on Chris Jericho’s Rock N Wrestling Rager. Ring of Honor’s Twitter account also posted a video of Jericho promoting the match. Once in a lifetime? Yeah, heard that one before. Jericho also shared a poster for the match on Instagram, which looks pretty rad. There’s no word on which day the Alpha Club vs. Bullet Club match will take place, but it will likely be a main event.

Extreme Rules Match Card Changed

And speaking of main events, the originally reported main event for this past Sunday’s Extreme Rules was set to be Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley. However it has since been reported that on the day of the show, several of the wrestlers in the back petitioned and lobbied for Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler’s 30-minute Iron Man match to go on last as they could put on an excellent match and send the crowd home happy. That didn’t quite happen however, with the Pittsburgh crowd instead deciding to chant along with the countdown clock during the match – booing the production team when it was taken down – and cheering louder than any other point in the match when it came back up. Rollins himself slyly commented on the crowd on Twitter, and PWInsider are reporting that it was nearly very different.

According to the site the Rollins vs. Ziggler Iron Man match was originally planned to open the show rather than close it – with the card being changed on late Sunday afternoon to The Deleters of Worlds vs. The B-Team opening instead. But whoever made the call to make the change, it might not have been the head honcho himself.

Vince McMahon Missing From Extreme Rules

Vincent Kennedy McMahon has missed various WWE business occasions as of late such as the negotiations for the Fox TV deals or even the conference calls about them – even being absent from the WrestleMania 35 press conference. In fact his only public appearances were the Saudi Arabia show and the announcement of the Australia super-show later this year. And when he was asked about it on PWInsider Elite, Mike Johnson revealed that Vince wasn’t at Extreme Rules either – presumably leaving Triple H in charge.

“Vince was not at Extreme Rules last night. He was in Florida, and was in regular communication with Triple H and the other officials, but he was not physically there.” 

Johnson speculates that Vince believes that “the machine is something that can run on cruise control” and that he trusts people like Triple H, Road Dogg and Michael Hayes will “right the ship from careening too far off the course.” Adding: “At his age, he’s probably taking a step back. But when he is there he’s very hands on and even when he’s not there he’s gonna put his two cents in the PPV – he’s just not going to have final say as he’s not there to enforce his will.”
