My first-ever pro wrestling year in review series on Josh Nason’s Punch-Out continues with a look at June 2021, a month that saw WWE begin to make serious cuts in their talent roster, Andrade El Idolo debuting with AEW, a new IWGP World Champion crowned and more.
Helping me out is returning guest and longtime wrestling media member Jason Powell of ProWrestling.net.
A few of the topics we delve into:
- WWE making two rounds of cuts that saw Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, Ruby Riott and a slew of 205 Live talents hitting free agency
- More NXT talents getting dark matches in anticipation of a call-up
- The return of Samoa Joe to NXT
- Andrade El Idolo signing with AEW
- AEW announcing their first-ever stadium show
- Tony Khan appearing on Impact Wrestling in the ring
- ROH, Japan, MLW and more
