///// EXPANSION COMING SOON? /////
There's an interesting rumor that's been making the rounds lately, involving the owner of the XHW potentially meeting with a number of promoters from different companies. Could this be the start of an XHW expansion into other territories? It's very possible, considering the recent talent acquisitions from Mexico and a hot new star from Canada.
With Mr. Carver still somewhat new to the company, I would think his focus would be on getting used to how things work here before actually branching out. Then again, with the success of the re-launch and the XHW arena, anything is possible.

///// MAJOR STARS SET TO RETURN? /////
Sources tell me that there are two former Undisputed Champions in talks to possibly return to the company. I won't spill the beans in case negotiations fall though, although either one could be a potential game changer for the XHW. Apparently, there's been continuous conference calls and private meetings with Mr. Carver and several road agents.
There's some big numbers being thrown around and apparently, the phrase "spare no expense" seems to be Mr. Carver's approach to any available talents who could potentially make a difference in the XHW. After contracting the Jezter and Mister Jingles again, I'm willing to wait and see how this whole situation actually plays out.

///// NEW CHAMPIONSHIP DESIGNS /////
It looks like new title belts are on the horizon. It was confirmed only an hour ago by Mr. Carver that has has officially commissioned a completely new set of title belts. The idea being that the new belts will be more in line with the direction of the company. It's something a lot of our fans have been talking about on the message forums and it appears to be happening. When these championships will make their official debut has yet to be discussed, although Carver assured me that it was going to happen shortly, and that the fans wouldn't have to wait for too much longer. What are the new belts going to look like? What was the inspiration? We can only wait and find out but we're all anxious to see the finished products in action.

///// INJURY REPORT /////
Several major stars are currently sidelined with injuries. XHW fans are well aware of the attack at X-Fest that left Ryker Stryfe hurt and apparently unable to be cleared medically. I was unable to reach him for a comment but I can guarantee, he will be back eventually and there will be hell to pay. Another star on injured reserve is Evander Gray, who suffered an abdominal tear unfortunately. My sources tell me that Gray is convalescing in Europe and is looking to make a return early in 2024. Most recently, an accidental injury has taken Eisaku Enenra out of action. Eisaku sustained a torn ACL in a tables match on Riot. Officials believe that any return to competition would come sometime in the spring of 2024 at the earliest.

///// TROUBLE IN THE HOUSE? /////
Could there be problems in the House of Pain? Reports indicate a bad argument amongst the group shortly after Riot went off the air. It also turned into a physical altercation between two members, although which two haven't been made clear. A losing effort against the Sycho Syndicate and the looming threat of Mister Jingles challenging for Eryx Madoc's X-Core Title can only have made the situation worse, potentially causing the group to fracture.
On the other hand, it could also cause them to come together and emerge even stronger than before. Which could mean trouble for everyone, considering their history of dominance on every level. Check back for more.

///// XHW TOURING UPDATE /////
With Riot taking place exclusively in the new XHW Arena, questions have been raised about a possible 2024 tour. I did some digging and eventually went all the way to the top for answers, talking directly to Mr. Carver about it. And from the owner of the company...there are definitely plans for the XHW to go on tour again. Another trip to Japan for several dates seems most likely, only some within the front office think it may be somewhere in the UK for a short run.
Wherever the XHW goes, the fans will certainly be ready for action. And on a personal note, I actually enjoyed our time in Australia, and hope that the XHW once again goes 'down under' sometime in 2024. I'll have more updates as they come out.

///// THE XHW...NETWORK? /////
There's been talk of the XHW branching out into new areas and featuring talent outside of the ring. Leon Washington's workout show called 'Brooklyn Body' seems to have started a potential trend in the company. And it's one that Mr. Carver has taken quite an interest in.
Apparently, longtime XHW talent Shark Boy will be hosting a podcast featuring animal-themed wrestlers and has been tasked to an annual shark week event, which will be shown here on the XHW website. Also in the works is cooking a la Curry Man, which has been operating on YouTube for a couple of months already. And to be perfectly honest with everyone...anything that could potentially help improve my orange chicken recipe is alright in my book.
There's also talk of a sit-down talk segment with two current XHW stars, where they would cover a variety of topics, review matches, even conduct interviews with up and coming indy stars. As to which two stars would be chosen to host the show, that's unknown...however, I could definitely think of a couple charismatic choices...not that I'm looking for the job.

///// WHERE IS THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPION? /////
It's a question a lot of people have asked, where exactly is Sylas Reeves? After cashing in way back at X-Fest, the champion has been announced for several dates but has yet to show up for any of them. Some digging turned up an injury report on the champion...apparently, Sylas suffered an accident while training, which resulted in some ligament damage. As of the recent shows, he actually was expected to make an appearance in some form but never showed up. I reached out to the trainers for answers then took a trip straight to the top, asking Mr. Carver directly about the situation. His response was that the matter would be addressed publicly, and no sooner than the upcoming Tuesday Night Riot on December 5th.

///// CHAMPION FINED /////
After assaulting a referee on Riot, it's been revealed that the XHW has officially fined Eddie Kovacs $5,000. I spoke to one official who actually prefers to remain anonymous, who said some of the stars are 'uncontrollable' in the ring and that many fear being aggressively targeted if they were to publicly speak out on the matter.
Eddie Kovacs 'politely' refused to comment on the situation and has reportedly paid the fine already.

///// MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING /////
I've heard through my usual sources that Mr. Carver will be appearing on Riot this week to make a huge announcement. I'm told the announcement will have a big impact on All Or Nothing.

///// MAJOR STARS RETURNING? /////
So, my sources tell me that Mr. Carver has gone to great lengths to pull in some serious talent for the championship scramble match at All Or Nothing. There's a few names being thrown around but at least one huge name that hasn't been around in a while, apparently. Someone who has won multiple titles and found success in EVERY division in the XHW.
I immediately thought of names such as Mike Hoss, Jason Hunter, or Justin Locke. And I wouldn't rule them out, especially with what our own Mr. Carver has managed to do in the short time he's been in charge.

Title: All Or Nothing Speculation Author: Xavier Synn 12/14/2023
As 2023 draws to a close, All Or Nothing is on the horizon and wrestling fans everywhere are preparing for the first huge event in the upcoming year. Of course, a major draw has always been the Battle Royal (renamed Xtreme Warfare in recent years) but things could actually be a little different this time. There's some speculation on what the main event with be, with many traditionalists opting to continue making Xtreme Warfare the focal point, while others believe the main event should be the scramble match for the vacant Undisputed Championship. Then again, there are many fans who simply want to see good wrestling take the spotlight here, so it may depend on what camp you're in for this one. Either way, it should be a huge night for the XHW.
Another bit of news regarding All Or Nothing is the rumors of a special Breakout Challenge, which will highlight recently hired talents and give them their own chance to shine on the larger stage. With the recent influx of stars, there could easily be over a dozen to choose from for that match. And no doubt, a unique opportunity on the line for the winner. Whether or not Mr. Carver actually announces this match or not remains to be seen, but there are a lot of people behind the scenes who believe the match is absolutely necessary to help set the tone for the new year. With Mr. Carver confirmed to be on Riot next week, we could be getting an announcement. Be sure to tune in to Tuesday Night Riot to see it all go down LIVE.

Title: Chaos in the Front Office Author: Xavier Synn 12/14/2023
We have multiple reports of a physical confrontation in Mr. Carver's office this afternoon. Sources confirm that Mason Sterling went in and confronted Mr. Carver about his recent booking. I can only assume it's in response to his recent problems with The Reckoning, one of the most recent roster signings. Reports say there was a verbal dispute that became a physical confrontation between Mason and the head of security, Lucien. I'm told that both Mr. Carver and Jenna were able to calm both men down relatively quickly. Mason eventually left without incident and has been barred from the arena this coming week on Riot.
Fans will remember The Reckoning making their first appearance a few shows ago, attacking Mason Sterling and costing him a chance at competing for the Lucky 7's Title. Their motives are unknown at this time but The Reckoning will be in action on Riot, with their debut against the team of the Green Headz. I'll be sure to update you all if more details become available.

Title: Major Name At JFK International Author: Xavier Synn 12/14/2023
A number of fans have sent in photos of former Undisputed Champion, Giovanni Valentino, as he arrived at JFK International today. A dominant figure during his run with the XHW, one has to wonder if perhaps he's one of the five men chosen by Mr. Carver that will compete in the scramble match at All Or Nothing. Valentino would certainly be a tremendous addition to the roster, despite his time away from the XHW and active competition.
Could it be coincidence? Could it be a surprise? We'll have to wait to find out.
