Great news for AEW! Collision beat the NXT replay — 337k to 279k. They’ve also cleared 1k tickets distributed for their Maximum Carnage show in their World Champ’s home city.

I'm happy to see AEW overtaking NXT and the Maximum Carnage show looks like it's going to be a big hit!

Another LolAEW moment: They were advertising Grand Slam Australia for the same time as the NBA All-Star coverage would be airing on TNT. Now it’s presumed to be airing after the NBA in a ridiculous time slot.
Also, it was listed here as “AWE: Grand Slam” at one point. |

What ever happened to Rampage? Surely once Smackdown moved to 3 hours Tony would have been hyped to go head to head, it is where the best wrestle afterall!

WBD would have kept it, because they love all things AEW, but they actually had humanity in mind. They knew too much of an amazing thing would just be too much. It’s why they haven’t picked up ROH either.

Corbin fixing for a job at AEW lol. The marks that talked a lot of shit about him as a wrestler better be ready to work their spin when he’s suddenly their A1 guy.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with him being presented better in an environment where they tighten the leash on stupid shit. Not that. Or the fact that WWE has moved past a lot of the dumbass "this person never existed before showing up on our doorstep or even in some cases never worked in our own company before you just halluncinated their career under a different trademarked name" in recent history. None of that. Just automatically appealing because he is no longer in AEW in and of itself is the conclusion "tHe SiCkOs" come to. ![]() *less sloppy, but still a bit reckless. The attempted slingshot thing he wanted to do where he expected the ropes to be tighter and it just didn't work out, shame you you. Plancha where he pretty much missed Gable, shame on... uh me... Plancha where he pretty much missed Pete Dunne... shame... uh... won't get fooled again. Heh! |

I’ve only seen the one Penta match, but it’s pretty obvious WWE knows how to get more out of talent than AEW. Ethan Page is an obvious example. Being “meh” in AEW is par for the course.
Ricky Starks asked for his release and got denied. Nothing surprising there. But it’s hilarious to see AEW marks defend it like it’s good business. AEW is creating hype around these guys and making themselves into the villain of the story. It’s not good business to keep wrestlers signed just so they can’t be used elsewhere. AEW marks are also trying to blame Starks for it — the usual “he won’t do business” shtick. That doesn’t make sense. Word would get back to WWE and poison the well for them. Starks is being punished because he was allied with Cody and Punk — possibly compouned by him not becoming a Chris Jericho guy. |

Remember how evil WWE was when they wouldn't release Grizzled Young Vets because they were in the middle of a story, but then kept using them on TV until their contracts expired.
Then once they finally were free of that slavery, they got to.go to the great haven that is AEW, and have had like 3 full matches in a year? FUCK EVIL WWE! |

LOL, Dave Meltzer is trying to push the narrative that WWE are only working with TNA to block AEW from getting TV. AEW doesn’t need any help hurting themselves. They barely got a US deal.
He’s also trying to remind people that “working with WWE bad.” Yeah, um — that’s not the case anymore. Even if you want to look at things cynically, deals with other promotions make sense from a PR and legal perspective. WWE is also trading on good will. AEW is the entity that chews up other promotions (New Japan, ROH, Impact, AAA). Dave also doesn’t expand on why WWE would want AEW to go under. It’s not like they’re a threat. The arms race is between AEW and TNA. But why are they helping TNA? Is it because they’ve figured something out and aren’t blowing up the entire business? |

Add Deonna Purrazzo to the list of talent unhappy in AEW. She’s upset she’s not being used more/better. I don’t know what she expected from AEW. See ya back in TNA.

Lol, Sean Ross Sapp is saying that they’ve heard that AEW is one of the most streamed shows in the sports category on Max. No number is attached, so it’s probably not very impressive.

It can mean anything. These people play with rankings like being the 4th most watched “sport” on a streaming service that doesn’t specialize in it means something. It’s like when the sickos bragged about Orange Cassidy’s merchandise sales. Then numbers for another wrestler doing a “record week” came out (might have been Danhausen), and from that you could extrapolate that the dude sold barely any t-shirts lol.
20k people could get you “ranked” as one of Max’s highest streamed sports. These shills can give numbers or gtfo with that soft talk. |

It’s just like how they hid the number of ticket sales for All In 2025 behind the revenue for the first sales. They’re en route to sell about 16k for that show if they’re lucky.
They should just call it “Parade of Champions” and be done with it. |

Oh shit, he did say it was among the top streamed live sports, I didn't read that well.
Does Max even stream other sports besides boxing? So AEW is 2 of 2... WHAT A MANEUVER ![]() ![]() They do have the sports package for an extra $9.99 a month, but AEW is not included in that package anyways. Surely a reputable wrestling journalist wouldn't be comparing AEW's viewership to the viewership of events behind an additional paywall to make them look better, right? What a wildly unbiased thing for one to do. Last edited by xrodmuc316; 01-25-2025 at 12:00 AM. |

I haven’t looked into it, but it would be funny if they’re comparing it to a premium package they’re not a part of. I read that the NFL that gets streamed there gets <50k. It’s obviously not the preferred delivery method for football, but I can’t imagine AEW doing better than that. The sports package doesn’t sound like it’s all the rage.
WBD are also “guarding” the numbers apparently. What does that tell you? |

I read a report for Collision, just to see what will get absolutely destroyed by SNME. Then I had to watch the segment. The Toni Storm stuff has been horrible. It’s WrestleCrap. People turned a blind eye to it for a long time for some reason though. Maybe because everything else in AEW sucks? Maybe it’s because they’re simping for the lesbian elements?
But on Collision they paid off the “Toni is pretending to have amnesia” gimmick. But it came after Mariah May absolutely kicked her ass. She got beaten down then just revealed she was playing a role the whole time. Wtf was the point? It makes ZERO sense. |

Got an idea for WWE. Becky comes back and she starts acting like a movie star. “Blockbuster Becky.” She wants to be nominated for “Best Actor” because she’s “The Man.” She wins the belt then loses it to her lackey, Lyra. Becky goes back to Irish dancing and says it’s her first time in WWE. Then Lyra kicks her ass and Becky gets up and says “I was just ACTING like I had forgotten you betrayed me!”
Brilliant. |

In more “AEW botches everything” news:
The House of Black have a new look (well, two of them). Brody King and Buddy Matthews are now street thugs. Julia is still dressing like a sexy witch Halloween costume model. They’ve just…been dumped by Malakai Black. They didn’t kick him out of the group or anything. Wrestling fans are going to see him return to the WWE and look like a guy breaking free of the minor leagues, while they’re still clinging to the flailing faction concept. Their name is also horrible. They call themselves “The Hounds of Hell.” Bush league as hell. I can tell you this is going to fail from the outset. It’s not that there’s no talent in the group. But no one there is looking out for them and they clearly don’t give a shit if they fall on their ass. The optics of this group clinging to each other after Black blows the coop is too soft a start. You knew Black was leaving months, if not years ago. He’s been miserable there since near the start. Why you didn’t segue into new roles for The House of Black while he was there is baffling. It’s like when they still had Matt Hardy playing a heel even though they knew Jeff was coming in. Or how they knew they were going to turn Mox on Danielson and didn’t do any foreshadowing. If you know Black is leaving — and they did — you can book backwards. When Darby did his thing with Brody King (was it around WrestleDream?), why wouldn’t Brody being a henchman for Black come up? Why wasn’t that used to move towards Darby vs. Black at some point between then and now (they had two PPVs)? Why wouldn’t the other House of Black members “break free” themselves and become stars? You had forever to tell that story. Now you’re stuck with the Right to Censor minus Stevie Richards. |

Lol, AEW have put Omega & Ospreay against Fletcher & Takeshita in Australia. I don’t think Australia really cares about the Aussies in AEW, but the fans buying tickets probably do more so. I don’t why they’d put Ospreay & Omega against a guy from the country. They people going are also probably aware of New Japan, so they are probably aware of how awesome Takeshita is.
It’ll probably just be “This is awesome!” chants from the few thousand people going as they all trade forearms, but it’s pretty reckless booking to put Omega & Ospreay in a situation where the crowd could flip the script and start cheering the Aussie lad against the overpushed wankers. Dave Meltzer had to remark on Observer radio that AEW selling 2-for-1 tickets to Brisbane would imply sales aren’t going well. No shit. |

Sick of hearing from people that Omega is a draw. It crops up when people discuss his involvement in New Japan. Except the show he was advertised for and arguably built around him (albeit poorly) only drew 16k fans to the Tokyo Dome. The venue holds over 40k.
I’ve seen fans suggest that they should have used Omega for Wrestle Kingdom on the first night. Same with The Bucks. Maybe the reason ticket sales were down is because they were there? The solution may not be more of that thing. Omega is back off a life-threatening condition. He’s moved the needle nada. People just don’t care about his output as a wrestler outside the deluded Observer bubble. I bet the tickets are just flying now that he’s been announced in a match with 3 other “superworkers” as Dave is trying to coin. |

The only people who care about Omega at this point are the people who were already watching AEW.
AEW is a Ponzi scheme. All they do is promise these great future returns, all the while they continue in a downward spiral. Streaming on Max, that was gonna be a huge surge. Not only have TV ratings not improved, but they haven't even come close to 100,000 viewers on Max. It is just the same people who were already watching. They moved their huge stadium Grand Slam show out of a 50,000 seat venue because there was little interest. Now they are slashing ticket prices and offering 2 for 1 because there is very little interest in the same event at a 13,000 seat venue either. All In Texas in a 45,000 seat baseball stadium has been stuck at 15,000 tickets, and now they are crying because that evil WWE is running a SNME on the same day. Because that is why the ticket sales haven't moved for 6 weeks before WWE's announcement. Everything is amazing though, Will Ospreay's Meltzer stars surely mean AEW is still fitting to change the world, JUST WAIT!! ![]() |
