Importantly, while the PPVs will be available on Max "later" at a "discounted" price, they will air live at normal prices, so that's another mode of income. Plus, there is still potential for "new AEW programming on linear and digital platforms" and Fox and TK are still negotiating. I can't describe it as anything other than a massive Kieron Pollard six out of the ground. Tremendous news for AEW.

That last line is such a non-sequitor lol

It's going to be a massive deal and the usual suspects will be tripping over themselves to explain how it is bad axshually

I wouldn't have Swerve and Page get back to their feud just yet. I would let that simmer on the backburner. They have done pretty much everything two feuding wrestlers can do this year.

Agreed on all counts. Mox is doing some of his best work in years. He has always been a tremendous promo, but with good material, he transcends greatness

Young Bucks and Jericho shit aside, AEW's 2024 has been excellent. Incredible badass world champs like Soma Joe and Swerve Strickland, Hangman (literally) setting the house on fire, the GOAT doing GOAT things, the rise of Ospreay, Mariah and Willow, some excellent, heated angles, hate-filled matches, a tremendous year so far

I don't usually like too much talking in matches but I still loved that match

Loving the match so far

Swerve looking like an absolute badass

Incredible post-match angle. Yuta crying was the highlight

That was a masterpiece of a performance by the GOAT

Fantastic match. Both WIllow and Stat are stars

If you are going to have a spectacular move-fest, I would rather you don't waste 5 mins in the middle working on the neck like you're going to cripple the guy

I am so over the Bucks

Great match, and the perfect result. Garcia will beat him in some stipulation blowoff match and it will be great to watch

A one-match show for me tbh. But hey, that match has moved 2,000+ tickets in the last couple of days, so I am not alone. Perhaps the greatest feud in AEW history.

Hangman is awesome and I am so happy to see him finally get his flowers. Hangman's title reign > MJF's title reign

Jack Perry shat the bed in hindsight. I still liked the match because Darby is Darby, one of the best workers in the world, but the match was good despite Perry laying an egg in the ring

What a match. What a wrestler. The greatest.

To quote @Matt D Bryan Danielson loves to lie. A true GOAT

Absolutely amazing how Swerve curbstomps Bryan in front of his family and then trash talks them, and Nana follows it with dancing in front of his family. This match is already the best of the night

goosebumps

Toni-May should have been the higher women's match on the card

By Darby's standards, that match was pretty tame. Still great

STING!!!!
