Can't they? I mean, at least in a short-term/6-month style reality? NXT ran out a rare 5* indie feud as their opener, and put two main-roster also-rans as their Kushida fill-ins. Their main event feud was a guy otherwise buried on the main roster and a guy whose kind of a mid-card NXT guy. At no point did they actually use any of their true stars from 8-9pm on their 2nd hour of network television. More importantly, its possible that their two mainstays (Johnny + Ciampa) will actually not appear on their first major show...whereas I cant imagine Jericho/Omega or Rock/Stone Cold not appearing.

And they havent used the idea of Sami/Nak or KO or Ember or Asuka or any number of about a dozen major fill-ins that would massively pop an NXT crowd. They could easily go month upon month of surprise returns if they wanted, since they bought out the indie scene to the point that we already know whose Jericho's partners are.

And then for hundreds of millions, WWE also happens to run two major network shows. The dynamics of this are so hilarious that I honestly wouldn't be stunned if Brock Lesnar ends up in NXT for one week.[/QUOTE]

 

lol the AEW Uk tv deal is fucking horrendous

Street Profits vs. Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championships

 

What is it

 

looks like we get it 4 days later lol

 

Don't worry Europe folk I'll tell you what happens

 

this is the tweet by the TV company airing it, not good

 

Apparently there's more to it that hasn't been announced? SRS is saying it's not the whole deal.

 

if that's true, then that's definitely dumb for ITV to tweet that

 

Renee gonna shine!

 

WWE put up a bracket for best Smackdown superstar and how are they gonna put Edge and Eddie Guerrero against each other at round one?! Damn man

edit: this is the bracket

 

Awesome for Renee. I love her but commentary is not her strong suit. This should be more like the show she was on before signing with WWE, right?

 

At least they didn't include Shane

 

Dave says UK is going to be on FITE tv for $4.99 a month or $2.99 an episode. There isn't a tv deal for the time being. The problem is with commercial regulations.

 

Renee is officially leaving the commentary team to focus on the backstage show

 

It better not be. We would only get a heavily censored version of the full 2 hour show, or a 1 hour recap version if that’s all it is.

 

Maybe they should make it streamable on bleacher report or something until they have another deal in place? Maybe it won't be live but having to wait that long to watch is absolutely silly

 

this is neat

All Elite Wrestling's Jon Moxley Is Ready to Rumble in DC Collaboration

 

Moxley vs. the Joker for the AEW TV debut, I suppose

 

Seems like someone's missing...

 

this is a good tweet

 

RAW commentary team: Vic Joseph, Jerry Lawler, and....Dio Maddin

Smackdown: Cole/Corey with Renee having some sort of "special contributor" role

 

Some uhhh interesting choices in the new announce teams

Lawler has a gig but not Phillips? Lmao ok
