Ospreay and Swerve were both written off tv. Who’s gonna fill the gap in their absence. This is AEW’s time to make a few new stars.

I hope one is Nick Wayne. #AEWxNJPWForbiddenDoor

20 Minutes until #AEWForbiddenDoor Zero Hour kicks off. I’m so pumped for this show. Here are my picks (including the Zero Hour matches).

THE MONE EFFECT

I EXPLAIN WHY @mercedesmonecom.bsky.social HOLDING THESE BELTS ISN’T EGO OR TO FLEX, BUT RATHER HER GIVING BACK AND SHOWING WOMEN’S WRESTLING IS A DRAW AND A “MONE” MAKER.

The Brock Lesner effect? #AEW averaged 711K for Dynamite (not including MAX). 0.18 in the 18-49 key demo.

That’s +99,000 from last week. +0.03 in the demo.

Junkyard James @ibejyj.bsky.social · Aug 7

Theory time: #WWE feels as if they have to do cheap pop, memorable moments to keep their fans interested and not switch to AEW because they know their in ring product is miles worse than #AEW’s product.

But remember folks, quality is better than quantity. 😉

I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Thank you @allelitewrestling.com #AEWDYNAMITE

If you were #AEW would you take this trade?

I don’t think it would go through. #AEW #WWE #WrestleSky

WWE/TKO and TNA have a “partnership” in the same way Taco Bell and Frito Lays have a partnership.

ps - PepsiCo owns both. #WWE #TNA #AEW
