Then it is over to the Americas, where Seán walks us through the “Forbidden Door” at London’s O2 Arena, before David provides us with coverage of WWE's "Summerslam" weekend and Peter gives us the run-through on Netflix's "Unreal" series on WWE creative.

👋I took the time to try and paint a picture of what Forbidden Door was like as somebody live in attendance and the questionable after party that followed.

Linda McMahon is the first name listed. Her wealth today comes entirely from TKO stock, which means WWE fans are helping fund the Trump Administration. That's why good people don't support that company.
Now here’s the kind of news you drop going into a long holiday weekend. Maybe no one will notice. 🤡

No but why isn’t the AEW Unified title being defended as a set, why are we teasing the Continental and International titles being split out when we just brought in a National title?
World, International, Continental, National AND TNT title? What are we doing? (I assume it won’t happen but 😵💫)

While I’m happy for the quality of matches for AEWs C2 line-up I have too many gripes for the character limit so…I will now abuse the alt text to highlight some issues
It’s a lengthy one but there’s stuff people need to be talking about here 🤼

Right, (valid) crash out over.
I feel like AEW Full Gear was probably a great ppv if you’re only half invested/watching just the ppvs.
Elite reunion, title changes, young guy joining new faction to crown the world champ etc etc

I’ll crash out a lot about tonight but this is a really fair missed point. The crowd might have been dead but this was a top 4 match on a 13 match card, but the crowd would never let you know this
Also fuck that crowd for the Kris V Mercedes match, but also fuck TK for putting them in that death spot #AEWFullGear

Look I’m crashing out from AEW Full Gear but from a 🤼 standpoint, the biggest babyface champ in AEW just dropped the belt after barely 4 months and the IWGP champ is entering a tournament vs the semi main event challenger for WrestleKingdom for a belt he’s not interested in.

A friend of mine has asked me FOUR times at an event today, if I think Mercedes will beat Statlander tonight at AEWs Full Gear and let me tell you, I’m going to look like an absolute idiot if she somehow does at this point.

I guess the problem with Anna Jay and AEW is this.
She’s never going to grow with the pace AEW actually book her, but, should AEW invest more time in somebody they clearly don’t want to book more frequently?
It’s a coin toss but if we lose that amazing theme then I’m just going to be cranky af.

It’s absolutely incredible that Hanger/Shibata, a match in incredibly hyped for, is maybe the match I’m FOURTH most looking forward to tonight.
Yes, AEW can be frustrating at times (Lashley/Riccochet will be a slot for me to make some tea) but this card is better than other company’s PPVs in 2025

People who are upset about the AEW full gear card right now,some food for thought:
The main card has space for 2-3 more matches and we’re getting the end of the quarterfinals of the womens tag tournament on the go home show.
Semis at Full Gear makes sense and sets up the finals for Dynamite easily

AEW Collision this week featuring Moxley fawning over how handsome PAC is, how tough Yuta is, how smart Garcia is, how badass Marina is - delusionally being overly affectionate, was the so goofy and I love it.
And yet I’m just still expecting the inevitable Claudio coup any moment now….

When people say an awful internet “star” turned poor WWE “superstar” is better than every wrestler on the AEW roster, it’s not worth even naming the grifter spewing that nonsense and giving them the attention they so desperately want.

5, FIVE YEARS of saying you’ll show the world what they missed out on, how you’re ready to be the world champion and most importantly, how you’re never going back to your old character
Only to fold to be a mystery opponent in a tournament for an 8 minute loss.

Ice cold 🤼 take but the fact that people think TNA is in a healthy partnership at the moment with WWE is baffling. Their creative is a mess and just a feeding ground for WWEs developmental.
But when AEW/Omega increased their viewership by literally over ten times, that was taking advantage of them?

Alt: TNA viewership at the time on twitch (no tv) averaged at 3.5k viewers a show. Omega brought that up to over 50k as soon as he rocked up.
