Considering how much they get paid for random ass PLEs (not even counting Rumbles and Wrestlemanias), you can make the argument that the Saudis have been their bosses for a while now. Speaking of TKO putting profits over everything else, anyone else hear how the reason John Cena's retirement tour isn't having the storybook ending in his hometown? Because Boston wouldn't fork over the event fees WWE was asking for to do a week of shows.

The way Meltzer worded it made it sound like there was a second Wellness Policy violation that would have required a 60 day suspension but the reason he was released wasn't that.

Having Mascarita Sagrada in the opening match and letting him do his thing was a smart move.

Also not trying to be mean, but did Maricela Pena have a stroke at some point? She looks very not well.

Watching the AAA show on a delay. and I was thinking.....for everyone mad that WWE is going to ruin AAA, it was always AAA's goal to be the WWE of Mexico. They just could only go so far with the budget they had. If they get turned into WWE then that's just going to accomplish the goal they had all along.

That's like the WCW Jobber Hall of Fame, god damn!

This, and also AEW made it popular since TK is obviously a lucha fan. Funny enough, they still call the ROH titles "six man".

If you recall, AJ was actually around a bit after Punk left. I've always suspected her retirement was less about injury and more about WWE becoming an awkward relationship once Punk went nuclear on the company.

She was the one who started the #GiveDivasAChance movement back in the day and was an inspiration to a lot of the new generation of women wrestlers since AJ was really the first one to speak up and demand WWE start taking them seriously. She wasn't the best in ring talent of all time but there was a period where she was the Main Character and that struck a chord with a lot of folks.

I popped for "Dalton, you son of a bitch!" Also it should be interesting where Eddie fits in with the Death Riders considering his history with Mox.

oh shit, Eddie Kingston getting called out on Collision!

Yeah after he did those UK shows, it was the easiest layup for AEW to make it permanent. Someone that passionate and knowledgeable who wants to do (and is good at) announcing is a unicorn you don't miss on.

AJ Lee finally returned, and Punk/AJ vs Seth/Becky actually should be pretty great. Also I know medicine is constantly advancing but her return made me realize how many wrestlers have returned from what was career ending neck injuries in the last couple years or so.

Yet another reason this counter programming shit will backfire, AEW marathon shows are much better when you aren't asking folks to stay up past midnight on a work/school night.

Iyo vs Vaquer is gonna be a banger, and I assume there will probably be some fuckery from Asuka involved costing Iyo the match.
