Trying to catch up, reportedly the 90 no compete for the MCMG's ends six days before AEW runs Detroit again.

WWE and the CW announced they will be the new home for NXT's big shows. (I refuse to call them PLE's.)

Double Or Nothing is close to being sold out with about a month to go.

I rad they opened up every seat reasonably possible, which would put it less than 100 shy of breaking the DoN attendance record. They could potentially break the record if some production holds are released but we likely wouldn't open those until late in the week.

Following a lengthy run on Peacock, NXT premium live events are moving to The CW this summer, starting with the Great American Bash.
According to Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports, WWE and The CW announced the move Tuesday, noting that 20 NXT PLEs will air on The CW over "the next several years."
The CW has been home to NXT's weekly show since 2024 when the two sides reached a five-year deal for NXT's broadcasting rights.

Have fun with development brand premium matches being interrupted with commericals.

Oh, I did read today that there was an appearance of The Tongan Death Grip on Raw last night! That's a move from back in the day I always loved.

Hope we see a heart punch revival in the future!

  • Moxley
  • Jericho
  • Swerve
  • Bryan Danielson
  • Sting (if you want to count his deplorable WWE stint)
  • Toni Storm
  • Christian
  • FTR
  • PAC
  • Ricochet
  • Samoa Joe
  • Mercedes Mone
  • Brodie Lee - short but special
  • Adam Cole - has flamed out due to chronic concussion issues but he was at the center of one of the hottest stories in AEW history that sold 80K+ tickets in Wembley Stadium
Would all go above Andrade. Andrade's first run in AEW was largely trash. Love what he is doing now but he hasn't been around long enough to have had as big of an impact as the above have. I;m not sure anything he does in AEW will ever top what several of those have done. His history doesn't dictate things will end well.

lol ricochet hasn’t done anything more than being a twitter bully and a mark for himself.

PAC is the least interesting of the death riders - his impact is minimal

the rest sure but the one that should be here but you can’t put on is Keith Lee - idk what happened but guy was primed to be a star and Covid/injuries/etc held him back

I wasn't watching NXT at the time, but I've seen clips and it looked like that guy had everything you need to be a star. That clip where he blocked Cole and Cole flew like 20' into the crowd was just insane. Hope he's alright.

Speaking of Cole he’s debatable. MJF made him in that feud then what was Cole going to do. Kind of like Toni made Mariah in there feud.

Cole was a made man the second he debuted in AEW.

But how many PPV main events and major stories has Andrade been a part of? I don't think it's even fair to Andrade to put him in that discussion yet as he has barely touched the surface of what he can do and what AEW can do with him if he keeps his head on straight. With the if part of that sentence carrying a lot of weight.

Cole was a “made man” b/c they basically ported over the undisputed era gimmick right over to AEW. What memorable storyline has he been in other than MJF?
MJF makes everyone look better bottom line.

Name any memorable story (memorable because it's good, not memorable because it was trash) that Andrade has been in in AEW

Agreed, first Andrade run was trash but man, his TNT title match with Cody was fire, pun intended.
