In the past, AEW would let contracts run out rather than release talents unless it was a disciplinary issue, such as with Jimmy Havoc and CM Punk. Yet, earlier this year, Tony Khan’s promotion let several performers go due to budgetary reasons, and among them was José García, who worked under the name José the Assistant. And while some thought he could be TNA-bound after he was seen backstage at one of their tapings, speculation has now commenced that he may possibly be headed to WWE after Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported on X that he attended Friday’s SmackDown taping alongside Andrade. 38-year-old García broke into the business in 2007 and initially competed on the California indie scene and in Mexico under the names Orion and Principe Orion. This would lead to him making a couple of appearances for WWE in 2011 and 2012, where he wrestled Brodus Clay and Ryback, although nothing more would come from this. Still, having taken a hiatus from the ring in 2018, he would join AEW in 2021 as Andrade manager, although once he returned to WWE, García became surplus to requirements.

Last Friday's SmackDown in Orlando featured an array of matches and promos, culminating in a notable dark match experience for fans. The show highlighted several key events, including Carmelo Hayes defeating Andrade and the Street Profits earning a tag-team title shot. Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Nia Jax, and LA Knight were present only in promos, but the evening's highlight was a non-sanctioned match involving Reigns, Solo Sikoa, and the Bloodline. To enhance the live experience, dark matches included a surprising tag team featuring Damian Priest and Jey Uso, amidst shifts in match formats and opponents mainly aimed at connecting with the audience.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
