Getting a feeling that Rush will be heavily featured in their marketing from now on.

So sad that happened to Hobbs in his big main event match. Just a freak accident :( A huge bummer. I was really hoping it would be his star-making moment.

Julia was known but I hope she heals quickly, too. It's nice she was able to finish out a good title run with a lot of fun memorable moments.

A lot of injuries in wrestling lately. I wonder if something in general trends of athletic training is causing this, I know for a fact that many of the current dieting trends are extremely unhealthy

Injuries in AEW are such a trifling thing because there’s like a dozen other people waiting to fill those spots, it’s just the natural cycles. Hobbs/Julia/Chuck out, Fenix/RUSH/Deeb in.

To my uneducated dumb rear end it sounds like a strength and conditioning thing. Don't take that the wrong way....they're plenty strong and in great shape. But maybe they're focusing on the wrong muscles during training? Maybe the huge muscles in one area put extra strain on their other tendons and such?

Julia has been having shoulder problems before and it's why she had a break before the street fight.

She's also 22, so there's a lot of time in her career and shouldn't rush things and she should be getting good recovery time. That's a bright star that AEW needs to cultivate further

With Hobbs, :smith: it's just unfortunate timing in a match. I want a Hobbs run :negative:

My theory on the NXT Performance Center being a knee-shredding factory is that the trainers down there are all-in on the Crossfit cult, which is murder on the cruciate ligaments.

Same. The Hobbs injury is horrible, I want him to keep wrecking fools. Julia I think we already knew and she's being taken care of by Brody in Kayfabe so I'm not worried.

I'm also very intrigued by what's going on with Statlander. They've dropped just enough teases that maybe she sees where Trent is coming from, plus it feels like she might also be involved in the attacks on Willow and Mercedes.

Statlander in the Callis Family could be interesting, too.

I don't love the idea of Stat as a heel, but they've been kinda teasing it for a while with stuff like when Stokely was trying to get her and Willow to cheat during matches, and she was tempted for a minute to use a chain that he gave her. Plus, she went from being TBS champ and one of the top women in the division to losing a bunch and playing second fiddle to Willow, there's definitely a resentment angle they can use there if they want it

I think they may pivot away from Heel Statlander. I dunno, it feels weird right now unless they tie it into whatever Trent whispered to her...which could be Callis Family-related, I suppose. They know that they need to lean into this Mercedes turn, and are sowing the seeds nicely, so it feels weird to just leave Willow high and dry if both Stat and Stokely turn on her.

Stokely and Mercedes is a tempting duo.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

There was a small part of me that thought Trent was gonna do some kind of undercover "pretend to be a heel" thing to get into the Elite, but then he went and murdered Chuck and now I don't think that's the case.

Possibly, but it's more likely a result of steroid/gear usage and the extra strain put on ligaments/tendons.

He blew out his knee on the run up to the corner. When he goes to jump, his knee gives out. Non-contact injury.

I have a dream that as the partnership with CMLL continues to bear fruit, TK will gradually push to have former AAA guys wrestle CMLL guys, starting with jobbers. It is like the ultimate forbidden door.
