    This is funny and I say this as a big AEW fan. Not great timing for them but I don’t think this is their fault.

    I dont know what's worse, being in a feud with Lashley about your wife accusing you of being a sex addict or whatever that bullshit was

    Or

    Being in a feud with the best friends about a broken video game with stipulations about people being people's butler....

    Can't believe they are continuing this crap feud instead of trying to move up Miro after a ppv win

    Wwe women's division is miles ahead of other promotions, but do they really have enough talented and interesting wrestlers to have 3 main champions and 2 tag team champions. That's a lot of belts for a company who likes using same women over and over

    The new Horsemen is awesome other than Spears. Should have left him out and just had MJF, Wardlow, FTR and Tully as the mouthpiece.

    They needed him for numbers

    Jericho - MJF
    Hager - Wardlow
    Santana/Ortiz - FTR
    Sammy - Spears


    Also I love the idea of letting Penta "hurt" Cody so Cody can go off on paternity leave. I think they've massively under utilized Penta even if his English holds him back somewhat.

    On a show that embraces managers as well as this one, that one problem can be remedied.

    Totally agree. I loved Fenix and Penta before they came to AEW so I'd love if Pac/Fenix got the tag titles off the Bucks and Penta moved on to Darby after he disables Cody.

    Those have to be pretty disappointing numbers for both shows. AEW coming off a PPV and NXT basically putting on a PPV level card.

    I have both on my DVR and haven't checked them out yet.

    Anybody else on the list of male wrestlers from NXT Vince dropped the ball on? All these guys could be what puts AEW over the top for the future.

    NXT reached a point, just before they became a "third brand" on USA, where they had more talent than WWE had roster space for.

    Guys were getting called up after Mania for a few years without anything to do. The roster was too bloated with vets and still-young guys only a couple years removed from NXT themselves.

    I get that because when you have a Jinder Mahal on your roster you have to give him a multi month run at the top.

    Probably why they delayed Wrestlemania ticket sales at the last minute. Vince can't let someone else do it first and is lobbying like hell to get Raymond James at full capacity.

    Asuka was awesome on Raw. Maybe there is a chance we get Shayna vs Asuka at WrestleMania for the belt. Make it a last woman standing match and give them 20 minutes to work. It might steal the show.
