Ethan Page is set to make a hometown-area appearance connected to WWE Money in the Bank, with the WWE star scheduled for a watch party in Toronto. The appearance places Page in front of a Canadian audience for one of WWE’s marquee annual premium live events and continues his visible association with the city where he built a substantial portion of his pre-WWE reputation.

Toronto has long been an important market for Page, both through his years on the independent scene and his broader profile in major promotions. A Money in the Bank watch party offers a different kind of setting from a televised WWE event, giving fans an opportunity to gather around one of the company’s most consequential shows of the year while Page is part of the festivities.

Money in the Bank has traditionally carried major implications for WWE’s title picture because of its signature ladder matches and the championship opportunities attached to the winning briefcases. Page’s scheduled Toronto appearance adds a local connection to the event atmosphere, even as the available announcement information does not outline additional programming details for the watch party.

AIW Announces Plans to Reduce Its 2027 Event Schedule

Elsewhere in independent wrestling news, Absolute Intense Wrestling has announced that it will be reducing its schedule in 2027. The promotion has been a notable name in the Midwest independent scene, and a reduced slate would represent a meaningful operational change for a company that has routinely provided a platform for established independent names, developing talent, and visiting stars from the wider wrestling landscape.

The announcement confirms the planned schedule reduction, though no complete 2027 calendar or specific number of events was included in the available information. As a result, the full scale of the change, including which usual dates or locations may be affected, remains to be seen.

For wrestlers and fans alike, schedule changes at established independent promotions can have wide-reaching effects. Fewer shows can mean fewer booking opportunities in a particular region, while also making each event on the calendar feel more significant. AIW’s eventual 2027 plans will be worth following as the promotion reveals more of its direction.

PRODUCE, Create-A-Pro and Scott Hensley’s Last Hurrah Add Matches

Multiple independent events have also added bouts to their respective cards. Lee Moriarty versus Karl Greco-Malenko has been signed for an upcoming PRODUCE show. The match brings together Moriarty, whose technical approach has made him a standout across the independent circuit and on national television, and Greco-Malenko for a newly announced singles contest.

Moriarty’s name carries particular weight with fans of mat-based wrestling. His style has consistently centered on control, counters, submissions, and precision, making a one-on-one match an appealing showcase whenever he is placed opposite an unfamiliar opponent or a wrestler with something to prove. The announcement of Greco-Malenko as his opponent gives PRODUCE a match built around individual competition rather than a multi-person attraction.

Create-A-Pro has also announced CPA versus Kevin Tibbs for an upcoming event. Both men are regular presences in the independent wrestling conversation, and the match gives Create-A-Pro another singles pairing for its upcoming schedule. No additional stipulations were specified in the announcement material.

Meanwhile, Darian Bengston versus Kasey Owens has been announced for Scott Hensley’s Last Hurrah. The event title itself signals the personal significance of the card, and the newly added bout ensures that Bengston and Owens will be part of the lineup for the occasion. Further card details were not included alongside the match announcement.

Bojack Calls for a Match With Jay Lethal

Bojack has made it clear that he wants to wrestle Jay Lethal. The desire for that matchup puts Bojack’s attention on one of the most accomplished wrestlers of his generation, a performer whose career includes major success across Ring of Honor, TNA, and AEW.

Lethal’s experience makes him a natural target for wrestlers seeking a defining opponent. He has spent years competing at a high level in singles and tag team environments, and his résumé includes lengthy championship reigns and matches against many of the industry’s biggest names. A match with Lethal would therefore carry obvious value for Bojack, regardless of where it might take place.

At this stage, Bojack’s interest should not be mistaken for a confirmed booking. No match between Bojack and Lethal has been announced. Still, the public callout places the possibility into the conversation and gives promoters a potential matchup to consider.

Wrestling REVOLVER Reveals Names for Jerry Lynn Invitational Show

Wrestling REVOLVER has announced Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel, Gringo Loco, and BDE for its Jerry Lynn Invitational show. The additions bring together a group of wrestlers with notably different styles and backgrounds, fitting the kind of varied field that an invitational event can offer.

Wentz and Miguel arrive with a long shared history as both partners and opponents. Their familiarity with one another has been developed over years of high-speed tag team and singles wrestling, and each has established himself as a major name in the modern X-Division and independent wrestling environment.

Gringo Loco adds a different dimension to the announced group. Known for his agility, pace, and spectacular offense, he has become one of the most recognizable high-flying performers working the independent circuit. BDE’s inclusion further expands the show’s field and gives the Jerry Lynn Invitational another announced participant as REVOLVER continues to shape the event.

The Jerry Lynn Invitational is named for the influential veteran whose career spanned several generations and promotions. Announcing four talents with distinct identities gives the event an early foundation, though the available information does not establish tournament brackets, match pairings, or the complete format.

Additional Wrestling Notes and Featured Content

Thursday’s wrestling updates also included a birthday acknowledgment for Michael Nakazawa. Nakazawa has been a familiar personality to fans through his work in wrestling and behind-the-scenes roles, and the recognition marked his birthday within the day’s wider collection of announcements.

X-Pac is scheduled to appear at New York Comic Con on Saturday, October 10. As a WWE Hall of Famer and a key member of D-Generation X, X-Pac remains a popular figure for convention appearances. His career included major runs in WWE and WCW, along with an important role in the wrestling culture of the 1990s and early 2000s.

WWE also highlighted its Road to Money in the Bank 2026 material featuring Oba Femi versus Bronson Reed. The two powerhouses represent a physically imposing pairing, with the featured matchup serving as part of WWE’s promotional build around Money in the Bank content.

Additional featured footage included the full Money in the Bank 2025 match in which Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso faced John Cena and Logan Paul. WWE also spotlighted archival UWF action from the SuperdomeExtravaganza on June 14, 1986, featuring Watts, Rhodes, and Williams seeking payback against the Russians.

Across WWE, the independent scene, convention appearances, and archival programming, the latest announcements reflect the breadth of wrestling activity surrounding the Money in the Bank season. Page’s Toronto watch party provides the most direct WWE-related fan event on the list, while AIW’s 2027 scheduling decision stands out as a longer-term development for independent wrestling. With new matches continuing to be added across PRODUCE, Create-A-Pro, Scott Hensley’s Last Hurrah, and Wrestling REVOLVER, the independent calendar remains active even as promotions begin looking toward future plans.
