They weren't even involved in this. That's how stupid all of this is.

Certainly one way to deflect from this situation.

What AEW did tonight was pathetic, petty, nonsense. Trying to tie it into Young Bucks versus FTR was moronic. It served no one and it helped no one. Tony Khan proved Punk right by airing that footage. He’s a spineless clown. What did AEW gain in any way by airing that? They won’t even book Jack Perry on TV anymore. This was a disgrace. There is no coming back from this ever. Embarrassing trash.

One thing is I don't care for plucky babyface Jade. I think she needs to be baddie Jade just in WWE. And if she can just get her spots in and crush a bunch of women like cans, I think that can work. The key will be once she gets in there with a top-level women if they can have a believable match for the WWE audience on a PLE.

Even *IF* it's real, and even *IF* it does contradict Punk's comments, it's still low-class Springer show garbage. Utter pathetic nonsense.

Tony Schiavone who voiced on his own podcast that he's sick of this and wants to move on and doesn't want to talk about it. I doubt he likes how this is going right now.

There's no moving on from this. Ever. And that's not how NDAs work.

He had reporters asking him about this before and it’s always, “Sorry I can’t talk about it.” He’s spineless.

So business as usual for AEW.

It’s clearly a heel troll job by Young Bucks. Look at the graphic. It says nothing of Punk and Perry.

I think the lack of a hot wired crowd hurt tonight’s show a lot. Also Roman clarified at the press conference that his leukemia is still in remission but his oral chemotherapy is something he will be taking for the rest of his life for treatment. And he’s still able to wrestle through it. Frankly I never had a problem with Roman’s part time schedule and I liked it when the belt was unified. We never needed two world titles or separate rosters. The draft is useless anyway. also you could see the refs blatantly holding the ladders tonight for high spots. Something WWE sycophants ruthlessly whined about happening in AEW. bitching aside I’m happy Grayson Waller won a title. I hope this can elevate him to some degree. I think he’s underrated and one of the best heels on SmackDown. Jury is still out on Austin Theory. Basically everything Cena said about him has been proven true. He’s a couple steps away from being another Bo Dallas or Curtis Axel. The selfie gimmick was okay for him but he didn’t evolve after that. My hope is this can turn them into a Miz/Morrison duo.

For a match that was supposed to be their dream match, they didn't have much of a plan here. Like this was the match they campaigned for and wanted for years. This is the match they stupidly broke up the team for and having Jimmy turn on Jey for absolutely no reason when he was the one who wanted out of the Bloodline in the first place. Bad booking. Bad creative. Bad storytelling. Shitty match.

Freezing cold weather or not, the crowd tonight was terrible and they did not show up. The entrance stage was also weak sauce and nowhere near as good as WrestleMania 39. The ladder match was trash and an overdone spotfest. The match to make was Judgment Day vs. R-Truth. Damian Priest being a Money in the Bank holder feels like a total after-thought at this point. He hasn't been built up or groomed at all. Match felt like a convoluted way to split up the titles because it was for the UNDISPUTED TAG TEAM TITLES. I mean why would Waller and Theory even try to stay in the match after winning one set of titles? They should've tried to peace out because that's the chicken shit heel thing to do. The Mysterio tag team match felt relatively pointless and all done as a way to get Kelce make an appearance on the show. I just feel like one year later they haven't progressed from Dominik vs. Rey at all. Escobar's been screwed over in this feud with Rey for months. The heels desperately needed to win here. They still could've had the NFL dudes come in to help after the match. Sami vs. Gunther thankfully salvaged most of this show. I still think this was not Sami's match to win. It felt like a waste of ending Gunther's title reign. People were emotionally behind Gable and wanted him to get this and that could've cemented his career and made him a made man. That's why people turned on Sami winning this on social media. They wanted Gable to get his moment. Nonetheless, it was a great match and the best match of the night. I did enjoy Sami doing his turnbuckle brainbuster since I was never expecting him to do that in WWE. A good finishing sequence. The main event was what it was. Clearly going half-speed to protect The Rock. I do think the match went on way too long. Felt like it needed to be about 25-30 minutes tops. I loved The Rock's entrance and him coming out with that garish stupid looking Brahma Bull belt. It felt perfectly in character. I think Rock and Reigns winning was right and stacks the deck in front of underdog Cody for the rematch tomorrow. The crowd was clearly just not in the mood for like this deliberately plodding three-hour plus main event. I was fine with it because it ultimately did what it needed to do, but it was overly long and not quite fun to watch. But yeah, clearly need to rethink open-air stadiums at certain times of the year. Better luck next time Philly. Will Minneapolis this time of the year be just as cold?

I don't see the 39 set on this list for some reason.

Didn't she step back from AEW?

Tony Khan feels gotten to right now. And he can't seem to handle Triple H being in charge of WWE. He talks a big game on social media, but when it comes time to talk to reporters, it's all "I'd prefer not to talk about it. I can't say anything about that."

Copeland's rah-rah, I love wrestling and AEW speech didn't really work that well. He was taking a lot of breaks for the crowd to react but it sounded like there were only 10 people in the crowd, and the reactions weren't that big.

I've seen no evidence of a drive to do so by Tony Khan or the AEW brass, so let 'em go especially if they want to leave.

So in other words, it does make sense to let people go who might get signed to WWE?

You mean like CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Brian Pillman Jr.?

If they’re releasing people now, they should release Malakai and Miro.

They should terminate ROH while they are at it. Make Supercard the last show.

CM Punk when Colt Cabana tried to talk to him in AEW before the All Out scrum incident: "I won't ever talk to you without a lawyer present. I mean he caused all this dumb shit for no reason. 'Oh, I got the guy fired. He hasn't been on TV since whenever.' It is what it is." https://twitter.com/MMAFighting/status/1774885360054485431
