wrestling let's begin with the big news coming out of last night's aw Dynamite which is that grand slam the plans for that show have seemingly been turned on their head first beginning with Brian Daniel the aw world champion is's kind of at the center of all of this now number one Contender to the aw World Championship Derby Allen will have his hands full at aw Dynamite Grand Slam he's going to putting his title on the line against John Moxy we'll get to that in just a second but this means the aw world champion Brian Danon is free to face anyone at the September event and a ghost from his pass has stepped up to the plates former Ring of Honor world champion Nigel mcginness appeared on Wednesday's Dynamite to challenge his old rival to a match at aw Grand Slam on September 25th in Queens New York's Arthur rash Stadium according to mcginness aw president ton Khan sanctioned the match and Drew up a contract the match was confirmed later in the show Danielson is still recovering of course from being attacked by his former Blackpool combat Club comrades John Moxley pack and claudo casoli Moxley as fixated the aw world champion with a plastic bag in the brutal attack the beginning of the group's insistence that they run aw now as far as mcginness he made his Triumph and return to iming competition at aw all in on August 25th at Wembley Stadium in London here in the UK during the casino Gauntlet match it was mcguinness's first match since 2011 now you may be wondering but what's going on then when it comes to Brian Danon defending the world championship against Derby Allen I thought that was going to be the main event of dynamite Grand Slam well not so fast because John Moxley is involved in all of this too now we saw of course at aw all out Moxley and the Blackpool combat Club minus wheeler Utah turn on Brian danelson and after a shocking scene at all out they saw Moxley turn heel on Danielson Moxley opened up dynamite to explain his actions Moxley and the rest of the BCC went to the ring to celebrate with Danielson following his victory at the payper viiew and how back Casino Gauntlet contract holder Christian Cage from cashing in for a match at the world title after embracing Danon however Moxley beat down his former friend and attempted to suffocate him by putting a plastic bag over his head leading to the champion having to be taken out of the arena in his explanation for his actions Mox said that he didn't enjoy what he had to do but it needed to be done he said he would love nothing more than to have Danielson by his side but Danielson doesn't have the stomach for this Moxley explained that over two years ago they made a commitment to build something real that would last for years even after they were gone referencing the BCC he said they didn't do it for money or recognition but because it was something worth doing but he said they didn't achieve what they set out to do quote we didn't do it Mr patience Mr EMP the greatest man I ever know Moxley said I look around and all I see is egos out of control everywhere I look it permeates a it's crawling with egos out of control and I can't take it anymore now Moxley referenced William Regal creating the BCC and said not naming Regal outright Brian was his lordship's favorite Moxy went on to say he's no villain quot I am the one true king of these lands we tried your way Brian diplomacy has failed today I choose War Moxley said now shortly after the opening video segment showing moxley's mission statement following the allout attack private party commander and Alex abrahantes made their way down to the ring for a match but were blindsided by Moxley casting noly Marina sha and pack the bastard got on the microphone in the ring to vent his own frustrations pack said that aw is broken and what happened at all out was inevitable and called the new stable inevitable as well he said he now has something to believe in and a purpose diplomacy has failed ladies and gentlemen this company is ours he said reiterating what Moxley had initially stated absent from the group was the third member of the aw World trios Champions alongside pack and casoli wheelie UTA as I mentioned you was held back by Pac and was seen weeping during moxley's heel turn and use of the plastic bag around danielson's face in the video the open Wednesday show UB was seen by danielson's side as he was taken out of the Arena following the attack now this led to Moxley facing off against Derby Allen at Dynamite Grand Slam in a huge change of plans Darby Allen will not challenge for Brian danielson's aw World Championship at aw Dynamite Grand Slam later this month Darby had earned the world title opportunity at arth rash Stadium event back in July winning the Royal Rampage match on AW Rampage just days after he had secured his all TNT title match inside Blood and Guts he challenged unsuccessfully for Jack Perry's title in August 25th at Wembley Stadium returning for the first time uh during Wednesday's Dynamite to confront John Moxley fresh off his betrayal of Danon allout last weekend Moxley said that due to his and the Blackpool combat club's actions danelon will be unable to defend his title later this month however he went on to say that it was a good thing since Darby Allen wasn't prepared to take the next step yet and he would do better and be better off by handing the title shot to someone who was Moxley himself Darby Allen declined the notion in deploring moxley's actions against his former partner and declaring he would have nothing to do with someone like that he said that the purveyor of violence will have to earn the opportunity and challenge Moxley to a match at Grand Slam setting the stage for a rematch of their July 2020 bout this time with Darby Allen's guaranteed title shot on the line now obviously so many people are still talking about the impending media rights deal between aw and Warner Brother Discovery and reportedly the deal is done a new media rights Arrangement between all elite wrestling and Warner Brothers discovery is considered quote a done deal and will include pay-per-views on Max in some form this is according to Dave mser who reported on wrestling observer radio quote the wbd deal is a done deal and there are going to be changes from what I gather there is going to be a pay-per-view component in this deal exactly what that is I don't know there is going to be a deal with Max with the pays in some form is what it looks like now of course aw and wbd have been in talks for several months over a new media rights deal in the United States the offer on the table is believed to be to be at least double the value of aw's current deal that is estimated to be around $70 million per year the New Deal between aw and Warner Brothers Discovery reportedly won't be exclusive however with Rumors in recent days suggesting that aw are in talks with Fox over a new one-hour

ring to allow Fletcher to get the victory so they're going to be facing off against the Young Bucks at Arthur rash Stadium now Jack Perry is still the aw TNT champion after retaining his title last night the scapegoat will remain the face of TNT for now after besting a junior heavyweight veteran on Wednesday's aw Dynamite Jack Perry defeated former NXT Cruiserweight Champion Leo Rush to retain his TNT title Perry and Rush kept up a frantic Pace but Perry was able to get the better of Rush with a bruising knee to the face after the match Perry was asked about how he was bouncing back from

Elite faction which also includes aw Continental Champion kuchka oad now let's talk about the ratings for Tuesday's episode of WWE NXT NXT is on the road to Chicago and a stacked card on Tuesday brought the 1849 demographic back to the program according to pwtorch and wrestl nomics NXT lost a small amount of the overall viewership with 628 th000 viewers tuning in compared to last week's 631 th000 but did see a 12% jump in the 18-49 demographic the show scored a 0.19 in the ratings compared to last week's 0.17 the show featured three title matches and was one of the final few episodes of NXT on USA Network as the show has set to debut on the CW on October 1 as it stands the show's average viewership for September is down 16% compared to last year while the 1849 demographic for that period is down 14% compared to last year too the highest rated segment of the night was former New Japan strong Champion Julia's debut against Chelsea Green the lowest rated segment of the night was the opening half of the show's main event which saw trick Williams earn a shot to NXT champion Ethan Paige by outlasting Pete Dunn in a last man standing match Williams will face Paige when NXT debuts on the CW on October 1st in Chicago the show also featured TNA Knockouts Championship open challenge match we saw Jordan Grace defend against s ruker ruined by Wendy Chu and TNA's Rosemary the show also featured an NXT Tag Team Championship match which was interrupted by an invasion of the bloodline now obviously again NXT and WW very happy with these numbers considering the NXT was head-to-head against the US presidential debate that was simoc cast widely across broadcast and cable news networks more than 67 million viewers watch the debate according to programming Insider therefore WWE and NXT will be very happy that their 1849 number still managed to rise by 12% and essentially the total viewership was flat from last week now let's talk about Live Events here because there's been a bit of a change or an upcoming change anyway to how WWE is going to schedule their Live Events moving forward now obviously there's been a major update on WW potentially scaling back even further in 2025 after beginning scaling back in 2024 it was recently noted that WWE is only hosting a handful more live events for the remainder of this year leading to a lot of fans speculating about the future of WWE's untelevised events speaking at the Goldman Sachs communic Copa and Technology conference TKO president Mar Piro noted that the company is looking to only host around 200 live events for the year 2025 down from around 250 they did this year he said quote we're cutting the events at WWE we're taking our low margin marginally profitable events and televised events that Vince put in place to grow the brand right we're taking the show on the road we've got to go to every city we can we can get to grow the WWE brand well the WWE brand while we still have to grow it it's on fire right now we don't need to carry these marginally profitable events Andrew Scher our CFO and Nick Khan at WWE have been Hands-On involved with cutting back those events trimming those events what was 300 events last year will be roughly 250 this year and next year will be close to 200 so it does look like they are gradually scaling back further and further now going back to Dynamite last night orange Cassidy did finally pay Chris Jericho back but maybe not in the way The Learning Tree thought on the September 11th edition of aw Dynamite The Learning Tree that being cre CH Jericho Brian Keith and Big Bill

organization speaking of Sports Illustrated riddle States he thinks the chances of him returning to WWE are extremely high he said quote the chances of me going back I think they're extremely high if

the easiest to work with at times I think the door is always open I think the longer I'm away the harder I work and the more I do the more likely I could come back but I'll also say this if I never go back ever again and they never talk to me again I'll be okay with that riddle said now riddle previously spent 5 years in WWE from 2018 until his release in September of last year riddle revealed
