Supposedly. Especially if Bray tells Braun that he's going to AEW.

I had heard that WWE was trying to re-sign Strowman but I have to think he’ll go with AEW if the money is close. And considering how Tony Khan doles out big money deals, I would think that it would be.

Not marquee.

He was persona non grata in the business. Nobody else would hire him.

Impact can’t compete with the big two for signings.

What if they sign Wyatt in October?

Then I would welcome you to come to me with an ‘I told ya so!’

But until then, I give it a 0.0% chance that Wyatt signs with Impact.

100% he's going to AEW. Book it! He isn't stupid and knows how much he was mismanaged in WWE.

0% chance he goes to Impact.

Khan has to run out of money at some point. Surely he can't afford to keep all of those people.

Vince better be paying attention. His company is about to become "the other guys" if he isn't careful.

Wanna bet? They can do whatever they want. Daddy has very deep pockets. We are talking super rich. But their next TV deal makes all that a moot point. That gives them all they need WITHOUT any more $ from dad.

What do the tv ratings say, hmmmm?

CM Punk Rumors: Fox Execs 'Very Upset' WWE Didn't Make Big Offer to Prevent AEW Deal
Mike Chiari
AUGUST 27, 2021

Fox reportedly wasn't happy that WWE didn't make a greater effort to bring back CM Punk before Punk signed with All Elite Wrestling and debuted on Rampage last week.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t WrestlingInc.com's Marc Middleton), Fox executives were "very upset" with the way the Punk situation went down, especially since Fox had a good relationship with Punk from his time on FS1's WWE Backstage in 2019 and 2020.

Punk paid instant dividends for AEW by drawing over 1.1 million viewers for Rampage despite it being in the 10 p.m. ET slot on TNT. Punk's first appearance on Dynamite this week drew over 1.1 million viewers as well.

So, when is Punk going to actually get in the ring and wrestle?

I don't know about you, but when I turn on a wrestling program, I like to see actual wrestling. I don't turn on a wrestling program to see interviews. When wrestlers start talking, that's when I hit the Mute button.

I’m not sure if that would be quite enough to do it. They’ve added a whole lot of big-money contracts and their ratings haven’t seen a significant increase to match it.

More than four PPV’s a year would help.

If anyone gives ‘unbiased reporting’, it’s Dave Meltzer…

That is one of the best parts of AEW. They don't spend endless amounts of the time yapping like WWE does. I haven't read when his first match is. I would think he should be before the match with Allin on Sept 5th in Chicago but maybe not.

[big dog cowboy]

I really thought he would sign with AEW. Looks like maybe he is going to Impact.

One of the coolest pro wrestling gimmicks I've seen in a long time...





To me that's how the present NWA can differentiate itself from the other organizations... Use their history.

Vince won't do it and other organizations can't.
