So ends a most eventful year for AEW from Cody Rhodes leaving to William Regal/Claudio Castagnoli joining and the fallout from the AEW All Out press conference from one CM Punk. The annual Winter is Coming Dynamite is this month.

On a positive note...

In the last 2-3 weeks to a month we've gotten back from injury or other issues:

• House of Black
• Darius Martin
• Ruby Soho
• Red Velvet
• Bucks/Omega/Page
• and at least one or two other people I'm missing.

That's very good for the company.

Boy that stuff that happened last night sure was crazy!   I wonder how this will affect Winter is Coming (quick, look busy!).  

I totally didn't write this yesterday afternoon!

Definitely.

AEW Winter is Coming Dynamite 2020: Kenny Omega beats Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship and says you'll see him on Impact Wrestling. Sting debuts.

AEW Winter is Coming Dynamite 2021: Adam Page defends the AEW World Championship vs. Bryan Danielson in a 60 minute draw. The longest match in AEW history. *****. I have it second only to Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson at AEW Grand Slam Dynamite 2021. *****.

AEW Winter is Coming Dynamite 2022: MJF defends the AEW World Championship vs. Ricky Starks.

I'm hoping we get Leyla Hirsch back sooner than later, and you're forgetting The Bunny finally making it back!

Just need the Adam Cole and heel Cm Punk to return.

Feels like this needs the Price is Right loser music.

The new AEW belt differences, AEW center logo in blue?, smaller size, diff color strap, plaid accented strap.

Whoever wins it after MJF, probably gets the new belt strap changed back to black and no plaid accents.

I was expecting MJF to haul out some version of the Winged Eagle since he won't shut up about going to WWE

On the flipside of this, we got confirmation that Andrade has had a bicep injury for a few months and just this week got surgery.

Been a bad year for injuries across wrestling. Looking at AEW, are Moxley and MJF the only big names to avoid injury? Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Adam Cole, Adam Page, Rey Fenix, Thunder Rosa, Eddie Kingston, Christian Cage, Kris Statlander and Andrade El Idol were.

Tony Khan needs to stop signing people who were buddies with Triple H.

Really? Is there anything besides this article?

All signs are that William Regal, 54, will be World Wrestling Entertainment-bound shortly.  Although we have heard nothing official from the company, there have been rumblings within WWE of late about Regal returning in a backstage role.  That would mean Regal would be exiting AEW, where it certainly appeared that he was written out of storylines last night on Dynamite, having been attacked by AEW Champion MJF.

Because that paragraph is at the intersection of Someone Said Place and Assumption Way.

The last line of the article literally says they're waiting on confirmation.

I am on my knees begging and pleading for people to show the slightest shred of credulity to unsourced stories from outlets that all reported Malakai Black had been released from his contract like three months ago.

Isn’t Insider one of those fake sites that gives devices STDs? 

People could also just not respond to those posting rumors and here say. (Not that it would stop them from posting, of course. But every little bit helps,)

Its a real site that gives devices STDs. Not sure if that makes it better.

Regal for Banks seems to obvious (and far too imbalanced). I for one would like to will Regal for Bobby Roode into existence, annd will also accept Drew Gulak or Ali. Dark bangers on tap.

I'd rather trade MJF for Charlie Dempsey

So is Tony Khan lying about the long-term deals people are getting signed to (Regal was initially reported as 3 years), or is he just letting people out of their contracts whenever they ask
