I think this was always the plan…it worked the fans and the wrestling media that got “leaks” from a company that does not leak (it’s an instantly fireable offense).

WWE is a $1.3B company (currently). AEW is a $100M company (prior to a new content deal). But storyline wise they've fallen flat over the last 18 months and it's caught up with AEW. Attendance is sagging pretty badly and even if booking improves, it will be many months before attendance begins...

Pre WrestleMania I thought that Roman would retain, and lose to Bron Breakker at WrestleMania 40. I’m now leaning heavily towards the notion that Roman will retain until 40, but lose in a heel vs heel match to Gunther. And Gunther will retain until WM42, at which point WWE will finally have a...

Multiple factors. Both companies have limited, older fanbases. AEW’s is a subsection of WWE, made up more of lapsed WWE fans driven off by Vince’s excesses. Paul Levesque has stabilized WWE booking, goinng for the long hanging fruit of restoring consistency in booking. WWE also has the...

No. Raw 30 was a good show (hour 1 was fantastic). Then Monday was the follow up to a very strong RR. The real test will be how RAW is in five weeks. It took six weeks for WWE to completely lose the extra 2M viewers who came in for RAW 25 back in 2018. If Levesque can retain a portion of them...

Thurston is leaving out the fact that Raw 30 took place in Jan which provided a huge uplift to the numbers. There wasn’t a giant reunion show last year. WWE was flat Dec 2022 vs Dec 2021

Austin declined the big money WM offer. Cody is likely going over Roman and becomes WWE’s next John Cena.

He's been training.

Yes, but it's at a point where this title reign is the biggest thing WWE has created since the Streak. When Roman loses, it has to make someone. Perhaps Bronn Breaker at WrestleMania 40.

With Vince back, I think Austin is the fallback if they cannot reach an agreement with Johnson. Cody is Plan C, but I would imagine that the next biggest match that you could do would be Austin wrestling one last time for the title at WrestleMania. If Levesque and Stephani were still running...

RIP Jay Briscoe. Just read that he passed away.

Stone Cold is going to be a surprise entry into the Rumble this year and face Roman at WM.

I'm not certain. Saudi Arabia apparently would not allow him to perform in-country. That probably has nothing to do with their stance on American shows. I imagine he had a long talk with the new management. My suspicion is that Sami stays.

Unbelievable. Biggest event in the history of pro wrestling in the last forty years. Revenge strategy executed (apparently) flawlessly by Vince.

That literally seems to be the case. For whatever reason, Vince decided in 2020 that Paul Levesque was not the right person to succeed him. By 2021, Levesque had been demoted, his beloved NXT destroyed, and his loyalists released. By 2022, his wife had been demoted. Then in July, the...

That’s two years out, at least. All of those guys are likely under three year deals. Who knows what entity will own WWE in 2024, and whether Levesque will still be in control then.

Until NBC buys them and puts a Jim Herd in charge of the division.

He flew to Vancouver to meet with John Cena on Friday. He’s in a somewhat unique position in that although it is a publicly traded company, he really cannot be forced out due to his Class B stock.
