Didn’t receive an email about the suspension & what rules were broken.

I’ll upload screenshots from the AEW
Enhance Instagram account on here.

Post WrestleMania 42 (Night 1):

Along with the relatively short matches & long ads, 4 of the 7 matches had outside interference towards the end of them as well.

This event was mostly a rough watch overall.

Bleacher Report graded Night 1 of WrestleMania 42 a D+ in their overall review on their official site.

Well, my friend sent me these awkward photos from Instagram. They were originally uploaded in April 2022.

Please don't be like this guy (Dan The Man) who kissed AEW’s Leila Grey.

Please practice general social etiquette when meeting others, including Pro Wrestlers.

[Indi Wrestling @indi_hartwell]

And don’t kiss us either

Live thread of #AEWCollision / #ROH tapings. Tapings first... Satnan Singh facing J.P. Gracen(who drew a loud "Who is this guy?" blast). Singh wins with a chokeslam. Gracen bumped like crazy.

[The Local Competitor @LocalCompWWE]

Shawn Dean faced Rosario Grillo.

[Paul 🐺 @PaulWolfpackFan]

@SantosAllElite @AEW @JonMoxley Another Ring of Honor match. Captain Shawn Dean vs some jobber.

[The Local Competitor @LocalCompWWE]

Outside of this WWE account, I had an AEW version of this account (on here) for almost 5 years.

I covered over 900 debuts across AEW/ROH & some wrestlers (I covered) who competed in multiple AEW matches had less time in their debut matches than what was reported.

[The Local Competitor @LocalCompWWE]

In AEW’s 6 year history, a good number of people from the roster started their runs with significant losses.

Some made their debuts on YouTube (Dark & Dark: Elevation) & eventually signed with AEW.

Glad Hyan & Maya World competed on Collision after what happened.

At the end of the day, this is a business, it is our job. It doesn’t matter if you get 1 minute or 45, you make every second in front of those fans and on that TV count. It is an honor and a privilege to be part of the show. I’ve been doing this for 15 years and I’ve been in every position, good, bad, champ, enhancement…. and every single aspect of the show, small or big is important. Make it count ❤️ And that’s my Ted talk.

[The Local Competitor @LocalCompWWE]

Current WWE Superstars (that you may not know) who also competed in AEW before signing with the WWE:

Fun fact, Thea Hail/Nikita Knight & Kiana James/Xtina Kay competed in their very first match (in-ring debut) on the same day during the AEW Dark tapings in Sept. 2021.

Unfortunately, the AEW Enhancement Talent X account is currently suspended (since this past May) & the Instagram version was restarted in September 2023.

I still have all the post captions/debuts & photos saved since November 2020.
