I think AEW and WBD are on good terms!!..WBD sees how AEW is growing and they are one of their best shows on their Network!!...Also, I'm hearing that they might go streaming on MAX for their PPV's...So I think they are going to keep this partnership going!!..
With WBD possibly losing the NBA, it's not going to bode well for an AEW deal. I think they will sign AEW to a new deal but I expect the deal to be well below what it would have been had WBD retained the NBA rights.
The NBA and other programs on Turner networks are like sharks that AEW attached itself to like a remora. AEW ate well off the scraps those programs left, but with the great white shark (NBA) no longer swimming in Turner waters, no the remora will be left to fend for its self and I don't see it pulling in the numbers (ratings wise) for WBD to strike a deal beneficial to AEW.
In short, AEW doesn't have bargaining power and WBD will be in cost saving mode. I expect massive cuts coming AEW's way in the near future.
If WBD is not willing to spend the money to keep the NBA that tells me they are in cost-cutting mode and may be divesting themselves of big-time sports altogether. If they do keep AEW they may not be willing to pay as much as folks are thinking.
Yep! Even if producing AEW is low, it may be cheaper to run additional episodes of Big Bang Theory on Wednesdays or have additional showings of Star Wars films on Saturday nights.
I know I'm asking for too much but I need another surprise Mina Shirakawa appearance tonight on Dynamite! Keep those frequent flyer miles going Mina!
The new belts look nice but Rossy could've done something different than copy the red and white belt color scheme of Stardom. Utami will most likely be the first Red belt champ with MIRAI being the first white belt champ!
Nobody is sticking around for "Rampage". Might as well just make "Dynamite" three hours.
I wish these wrestling companies would run shows on Saturday and Sunday mornings like when we were kids. WOW is the only one I can think of that runs shows on Sunday mornings.
AEW should do an early Saturday show. Fuck it, they minus whale do a WCW Saturday Night type of show that airs at 6:05pm on Turner stations.
With so much primetime competition, it can’t hurt to run shows earlier, if not for nostalgia sake. I love it when WWE runs PPVs overseas, these Saturday morning/afternoon shows are great and definitely beats the later night shows.

Dynamite was a solid show. Still hate Jericho being on my TV, everything else was pretty solid overall, well, except that shit with Hook. There is nothing they can do to make me believe Hook is a "killer" and the promo and faces he's making are coming off corny as fuck...
I used to live those early morning shows.
Or they can cancelled AEW Rampage and make AEW Collision a three hours show!!..I'm cool with that!!..Collision is on a Sat so people will stay longer to watch!!...
- The Willow/Mercedes segment came off well. If Mercedes is taking table bumps, I guess she's cleared to go. She'll turn full heel and beat Willow with help from either Kamille or Megan Bayne as her enforcer.
- Loving the Elite. This is the best work Jack Perry has done in his whole career. Okada has been fantastic, and The Bucks are doing their thing. They do need to ramp up things even more.
- Swerve/Cage match was good and the Swerve/Christian storyline is starting to cook.
- Toni Storm continues to do excellent character work.
- Looks like they're teasing a Takeshita/Moxley IWGP Title match for "Double Or Nothing".
- "Deathwish" Darby returning was wild.
- House Of Black/ Adam Copeland storyline heating up. Need more of that type of violence out of HOB.
- Jericho brings the show down.
- Hook will always look like a dork.
- No Mina tonight but I was asking for too much.
Yeah, That's some good memories right there!!...Saturdays mornings and afternoons wrestling were the best!!..
Also, AEW does have Sat Night show on the Turner Stations..It's called AEW Collision!!..It comes on at 8pm on TNT!!...
This was a good segment. Willow delivered that last line perfectly. That was a cold line.
Willow has won me over as a babyface and a talent and the crowd last night was clearly rooting for her.
If Mercedes is 100% they have the potential to put on a great match at DoN.
Everything else on the show was meh.
Didn't like the Swerve vs. that roided up wanna-be Lucha Brian Cage.
They've dropped the ball with Swerve as champion so far.
Still not buying into the Bucks wanna-be NWO angle right now.
They look like a bunch of high school kids that took over the principal's office for a day. LOL
I was honestly kind of surprised when Collision was announced that they didn't have it start at 6:05pm as a nod to the past.
I get it may not be possible with today's TV to start a program 5 minutes after the hour and technically it would be starting at 5:05 here in Texas but it still would have been cool.
Probably don't want to start 5 minutes after the top of the hour as they would lose the lead in ratings numbers.
I know kids these days have many entertainment options, but having earlier shows on the weekends could bring different eyes to the product outside of AEW neckbeards. Guess they can't do blood outside of primetime which is why they avoid it.
Daytime TV programming, especially on the weekends, has been all but abandoned by most TV and cable networks.
Not enough kids watch TV during the day on weekends so the networks don't feel the need to put on new programming and instead just run mini-marathon reruns and the 'EI' crap that took the place of Saturday morning cartoons.
It’s the super kicks
I ain't gonna go as far as to call him a trash wrestler. I will say that the only member of the Bloodline who can carry a Roman Reigns-less storyline is Sami.
The we want Roman chants are gonna keep getting louder until they reach Daniel Bryan 'YES!!!' levels.
Didn't know she had all those tattoos.
