For those who were wondering (and I was among you, I assure you) how the former Aleister Black could debut tonight for AEW just a little over a month after he received his WWE release, we have the answer.

PWInsider.com is told that back when Tommy End was moved to the main WWE roster several years ago, the company failed to update his contract from the standard 30 day non-compete that NXT level talents receive to the 90 day non-compete that main roster performers are given. So, what can only be described as a bad clerical error allowed End to be free and clear in time for the first episode of AEW Dynamite on the road and surprise everyone.

PWInsider is saying the reason Black had a 30 day non compete is WWE forgot to update the terms of his deal when he went from NXT to the main roster.

Edit: Beaten like poor Rebel was thanks to Blood Money.

Catching up on the first half of the show, I really dug that the Strap match ended with Cody just completely destroying QT then striding from turnbuckle to turnbuckle because he knew QT was in absolutely no position to do anything about it
it blew my mind seeing a strap match that didn’t end in The Strap Match Finish :aaaaa:

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I appreciated that.

Also, I think Andrade needs a new finisher; Tay Conti currently does a hammerlock DDT, and does it better than him

This is funny but likely doesn't matter. Even if Black's non-compete was 90 days, he likely could've just asked out of it and WWE would've let him.

Cole is signed through 2024 I think, I really think SRS was talking about Sami Zayn.

I doubt it will be that important, but if AEW were to win the war and survive for another 20 years, seeing histories treating Black showing up akin to seeing Lex on the first Nitro would be a funny parallel to draw.

Everyone coming into AEW just hates Cody so fuckin' much.

And now there's only one WWE guy who I really desperately want to see free and in AEW, and that's Cesaro.

1. I think the song should cut straight to that rad fuckin' guitar.

2. Tony still doesn't do the WWE thing of pumping the entrance music into the live feed, but only has what the mikes pick up from the house speakers, and I think that's one of the few major vibe changes AEW needs.
