does the NY athletic commission oversee wrestling because I will lol forever if doing the MSG house show caused jinder to get caught

No, and this is one of the main reasons vince & co were so into changing terminology and not acting like it was a legitimate contest anymore, so they wouldn't have to deal with athletic comissions.

I think y'all are reading a bit much into this. It was an MSG house show, those are always bigger deals, and maybe they did it to try to improve house show business. It's not a bad idea really. I mean MAYBE Kev is in trouble but that wasn't my immediate thought.

Why was Aries released? ASK QUESTIONS

PWTorch suggests that he didn't like being slotted with the Cruiserweights, and also suggested that he had an attitude backstage that people weren't thrilled about.

I think I've posted this before but Aries when he was in NXT flat out refused to go to the Performance Center even on a part time basis. When Roderick Strong first signed he was going to be an outside NXT shows part timer only and live where he always lived. Aries's attitude towards going to the Performance Center lead to WWE scrapping Roddy's original contract and WWE paying Roddy relocation expenses to live closer to the Performance Center so he could work with the trainees occasionally.

It worked out for Roddy as he got "discovered" by Coach Shawn Michaels and got his post Wrestlemania push we are seeing now.

Maybe Jinder wellnessed and they needed to open up a heel for Randy at the PPV

tbh they'd just have Randy win or pull the trigger on Corbin. Or both.

Y'know, like when their champ got wellnessed around this time last year!

Honestly, I think it's just this. You gotta keep it in people's minds that this CAN happen every so often.

I mean, MSG is bullshit and they should've done it in Detroit, but, hey, can't win 'em all.

It's also a belt that's been treated as an utter joke for the most part of the last couple decades. It likely made the MSG show feel more special and most fans don't give a poo poo about the title anyway.

Give me a nice long run of the AJ Styles Open Challenge. Hell maybe they can even have him face a few cruiserweights, I'd love to see him against Cedric Alexander.

So Smackdown is having a house show down here in the RGV (Rio Grande Valley) tomorrow, I wonder if AJ is going to come out with the title, or if Owens will. That should be interesting.

It's pretty rare for them to sell out MSG. It's pretty rare for them to sell out a house show so that's not a surprise.

Better Living Through Birding And Pessimism
Stupid beliefs aside from what I've heard of Aries he either wants to be used prominently or he doesn't want to be there, so naturally WWE was going to be a bad fit unless you're one of their hand-picked few.
