“I missed every single one of you, because you give me ENERGY. This Continental Cup is for all of you. I will be selfish later but right now... I FIGHT FOR YOU.”
Eddie Kingston’s heartfelt message to fans after his return to AEW TV. ❤️
Chelsea Green reportedly picked up an injury on this week’s SmackDown. Details on the injury are currently unknown.
But personally… I think THIS spot might be where it happened. 👀
That landing looked BAD. 😭
Dave Meltzer believes WWE is counterprogramming AEW despite short term money loss so they can get rid of AEW in long term, resulting in wrestlers losing leverage and taking paycuts:
“They’re fighting AEW so hard, so that they can get back the control that they thought that they were going to have, and then they don’t have to be escalating salaries anymore and they’d have even bigger profits.
That’s their loss-leader mentality. It’s like, yeah, we’ll take some short-term money losses, but if we can get rid of them... If somehow we get rid of them as far as being major competition to us, maybe we can start asking guys to take paycuts because they don’t have the leverage of going somewhere else.
The ones that we see on TV on Raw and SmackDown, the ones on the main roster, they’re all doing great, far, far, far beyond their dreams of what they ever thought they would make in pro wrestling, partially because revenues increased and more so because AEW exists and it’s raised everyone’s salary.”

@1Stop_Wrestling Disagree. She would be stuck like Megan Bayne, Lena Kross, and Kris Statlander. Mercedes takes priority over the rest of the roster. We will see when Mone beats Willow soon. Mariah would be no different if she stayed. She peaked quickly in AEW.
I'm not even sure where Mara Sadé fits in AEW if she does come to the company, like where do you put her?
This is no shade to her either as I haven't watched her work, just a genuine thought.
