i think Cage wins and the team rallies around him to beat Starks out of the team and start a long term feud.

i think Starks is way better as a solo act

Ricky with his own personal security would be a real fun gimmick.

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.

Not that I’m looking forward to 4 Jericho singles matches, hope they bring Cobb back in as one of the opponents to continue to echo he Moxley trials MJF explicitly called out.

They should definitely bring someone in like Cobb was in this situation, but I don't think it should be Cobb.

It should be Suzuki.

I'm really impressed that Ethan Page has managed to turn my opinion on him around completely. Loved his promo with JR

They have such a good dynamic. Even when this feud is over It's something they can bring back at any time and have it feel natural.

Elevation spoilers: I mentioned this in the spoiler thread, but according to ICR on the discord (who was completely correct about Tommy End signing) they're bringing Fuego, Baron Black, and Kilynn on the road to see how they do before they offer them full deals.

So are they going to setup the card for Fyter Fest Night 2 basically on Night 1? The only scheduled match, last I checked, was Britt vs Nyla. Given that they appear to be doing two title matches I do wonder if the Bucks are defending again but who knows. I have a vested interest since I'll be there but a bit irked that like, three matches I'd love to see in person are gonna be at the Austin show.

I'm assuming a TNT title defense. Miro vs. Fenix?

Kind of love that Tommy's backstory is that he spent five years in an asylum/WWE and came out crazy-evil as a result.

Can't believe he just stole Mox's debut gimmick. Rude.

After it was revealed that Tommy End's WWE non compete contract was only 30 days due to an oversight in by WWE, Fightful asked Buddy Murphy about his status. He confirmed that his non-compete is 90 days, but that WWE called him in a panic after his release, thinking that his might also be 30 as a result of what happened with the former Aleister Black. They offered to extend it to 90 days if Murphy so chose, but Murphy checked the details of his deal and confirmed that his non compete is through roughly August 31. Murphy is tending to his visa situation, which he's got the ball rolling on, but will have to have rectified by this fall to stay in the United States.

I think all of those things make sense for the kind of character he's portraying but he absolutely needs a better finisher.

Both he and Tay have the hammerlock DDT describing their finisher, why does hers look killer and his look like a transitional midmatch move?

I hope he keeps the Yankee pants cuz Kingston cutting a promo on those pants will be wonderful.

Andrade isn't doing a hammerlock DDT, he's doing a hammerlock STO, presumably because Tay is using the hammerlock DDT. He should really bring back the schoolboy suplex he used to do as La Sombra.

I think he might have done some stuff with Tom Lawlor in MLW, too? Or somewhere. I remember seeing him cutting promos before and finding him pretty funny and very good at being an antagonistic jerk.

He did stuff with Lashley in TNA too. If they're building to Lance Archer vs. Filthy Tom Lawlor that'd be a fun match.

Dan Lambert cut that exact same promo in TNA at one point, only he had a bag full of vintage title belts he had access to from someone (maybe he owned them). Dude is an MMA guy who gets pro wrestling.

Yeah, he owns a bunch of ring-used belts. I think he was on that WWE Antiques show recently.

AEW veteran Danny Limelight appeared on tonight's MLW wrestling Battle Riot tapings, and we can confirm he's signed a multi-year deal with MLW. Limelight is finished with All Elite Wrestling for the time being, and AEW sources confirmed that he was on a tiered contract, and that the door is open for a return down the line. Limelight is permitted to appear on NJPW and select other appearances as a part of the deal, we're told. Those in All Elite Wrestling that we spoke to put over Danny Limelight's work ethic in the ring.

Huh, this is interesting.
