> AJ Styles’ world got turned upside down when Rey Mysterio relieved him of the United States Championship — albeit with a little help from Randy Orton — and now, “Uncle Allen” will have the opportunity to right the ship. Following his victory in Monday’s Six-Man Tag Team main event, Styles has been named the first challenger to Mysterio’s reign, giving him the chance to ensure The Ultimate Underdog’s second stint with the U.S. Title ends just as quickly as his first. His victory is obviously not a foregone conclusion. Mysterio has been on something of a tear since his son Dominik convinced him not to retire a few months ago; the odd loss aside, he’s been a near-constant source of dominance ever since. And, of course, there’s always the threat of Orton still lurking on the periphery — though given that The O.C. has never had a problem interfering on Styles’ behalf, we can probably place things on som…

>Members of the Cree Tribe are asking the international wrestling and Central Florida communities for tips on the 2016 disappearance of Samantha Louise Michelle Fiddler, Date of Birth 05/12/1987. Please share this post.

>She is a Canadian wrestler and model who was living and training in Orlando, Florida. She disappeared in Florida on November 19, 2016. Her wrestling/modeling names are Samantha Steel and Lucy Morningstar. Her Canadian family and members of the Cree Tribe have not heard from her in nearly three years and they hope she's still alive. Before she disappeared, she spoke to her Canadian family and friends daily. She has three young children in Canada who miss her.

>She was training in Orlando at Chasyn "Spirit Kid" Rance's gym, Team Vision Dojo, and Alex "The Pug" Pourteau's gym, Pro Wrestling 2.0. Team Vision Dojo is also known as I Believe In Wrestling. Pourteau worked for Rance for several years before opening his own gym. Samantha was the girlfriend of Canadian wrestler Edward Ellsworth Annis/Teddy Hart/Teddy Trouble. He is a member of the multi-generation Hart wrestling family. Annis has been accused of sex-trafficking.

>Among those seen around her shortly before she disappeared were the video producer Carlos Manuel Lebron/Indy Carlos and wrestlers Russell Steven Rowe/Russell Payne, Steve(n) Deon James Jr./Deon James, and John Edward Dalton/JD Amazing.

>Due to the unusually high secrecy of the Florida wrestling industry and the aliases used daily by many in it, it is unclear if Fiddler was aware of the following alleged past crimes of some local trainers and wrestlers. Warnings about them are quickly censored on the Florida wrestling social media groups, so this post will likely be censored by them too. New trainees at these gyms, some of them children, are often uninformed of the following allegations when they or their parents each pay their nonrefundable $3,500 tuition.

> ROH’s pulling its contract offer from women’s champion Kelly Klein, saying she breached her existing deal by disseminating e-mails with that information to Adam Birch (Joey Mercury), led to a story in Newsweek two weeks ago. For some clarifications on things sent out by Birch and B.J. Whitmer, Klein’s husband, who previously worked at ROH as a producer before taking a job with AEW, Klein had a $20,000 per year contract with ROH for 2019, which allowed her to work anywhere else but that ROH would get first dibs on her services. Klein, 33, had worked 19 dates before her in-ring year ended on 10/26 when suffering a concussion in a match with Lana Austin in Newport, Wales.

> ROH and Klein had been in negotiations on a new deal. ROH had offered her $50,000 for 2020, but the new deal would be exclusive, in the sense she could not work any independent shows in the U.S. or in the province of Ontario. ROH pulled the offer and Klein will remain under contract until 12/31. Given her concussion, and only two shows left, it is unlikely she will drop the title in the ring and no announcement has been made regarding it. “What really surprised me is we’ve always had great dialogue with Kelly in the past,” said ROH COO Joe Koff. “Issues could have been addressed. For some reason she chose to disclose a private e-mail that tarnished our image and was a clear violation of the contract.”

> Koff said that as of right now, Klein is still under contract and that if she was medically cleared, they would welcome having her defend the belt on shows between now and the end of the year. Of course that isn’t going to happen. But the far bigger issue raised in Newsweek were claims by Klein and Birch, and three others who were not named, saying ROH only has medical personnel at shows when required by local commissions and that Klein herself was treated by a doctor who worked for the local venue. Klein told Sports Illustrated that no medical personnel were at ringside or backstage at the event.

> ROH denied the story, with Joe Koff claiming that the doctor in question on the night Klein was concussed was provided by ROH, not the venue, and that inn commission states, they will use commission doctors, but for all other shows, they have medical professionals at the events. He claimed the company has protocol, that the doctors at the arena take the first look and the company monitors the situation. Koff noted that both he and Greg Gilleland, the ROH General Manager who has come under fire many times of the years, had texted Klein over the course of several days after the injury. And when her symptoms of a concussions started to occur, they booked Birch and Klein for an extra night in London before flying them back.

> Koff claimed that they have a concussion protocol, which they told Newsweek dates back to 2016. The protocol is said to be turning it over to their medical professionals. They also allow talent to use their own doctors and they would not be allowed to perform until they are cleared. Birch and Klein claimed there was no policy and Klein asked to see the policy in a November meeting with Koff, who told her they had one but it was not written. Klein said she wrestled another six minute after suffering the concussion and laid on the locker room floor for about an hour before getting any medical attention.

> Koff said he was told Klein didn’t realize she had a serious injury until some time after the match and that when given the choice of going to the hospital, she declined. Koff said he texted her and she told him he was fine as soon as he heard she was injured. ROH has paid for her medical treatment up to this point. Koff said told Sports Illustrated his intentions were to make sure she’s whole, which would indicate paying for medical treatment if she needs it after the end of the contract.

> Koff noted that T.K. O’Ryan, who had been out of action for months but was believed to be the wrestler who suffered from post-concussion issues that were thought to be possibly career threateni…
