Powerhouse Hobbs left AEW two weeks into the calendar year of 2026. He has more TV matches in AEW (2) this calendar year than in WWE (1) since debuting there at the end of January for the Rumble.

One of the new WWE ID signings got his new WWE name last night and they named him after a murderer and kidnapper. Same weird spelling and all.



Does anyone actually watch this?

WWE programming is over saturated.

I don’t even have time/desire to keep up with NXT or TNA and I’m currently only watching Dynamite and bits and pieces of Smackdown/Raw/Collision after reading results.

About a month or so after it debuted on Tubi it was getting easily under 100K views a week with precipitous weekly drops. I’ve seen nothing about its viewership ever since.

It's out of the Russo playbook and risky to talk about bad creative and low ratings ON THE SHOW, esp. when the company is asking fans to fork over so much. The only positive I see is Pat being a great hype man and good on the stick. He painted Cody as a corporate stooge champ and his promo was almost a call for longtime fans to cheer for Orton, which I think they were doing anyway.

I don't care about the face/heel angle as much. Trick was supposed to be an arrogant heel but fans made him a face. Sami is getting some boos as is Cody. Orton is getting cheered because he's cool and they want to see #15. Roman was cheered after throwing Punk through a table because carnage. Kit Wilson, as a heel, got massive cheers a few weeks ago because he's got a new gimmick.
