Rikishi been venting a lot that WWE is misusing Jey greatly and he should go to AEW. This is hardly a one off thing. I do like fans going on social media to tell Rikishi he has no clue what he is talking about and how happy Jey is in WWE.

What a joke. But I can't wait to see him working 6 man tags on Rampage in a stable called The J Squad with Jey Lethal and Double J Jeff Jarrett.

You just know if he signed Tony would tweet “Guess who’s All E-YEET?” Seriously though Rikishi is being silly. Jey Uso is fun and all but his gimmick and roots are so WWE he wouldn’t work anywhere else. He should be happy he is where he is.

He'd be silly to leave given the likelihood of an OG Bloodline reunion around the corner. And Jey is likely treading some water until Jimmy is fit again. And Tony, you don't have to sign everyonnnnne. And some more shade... doing the yeet dance to an empty arena would be awkward as hell ( it's a joke, yes I saw ALL IN... )

WWE has the advantage of never doing shows that are less than 10k attendance. Jey Uso would look like a goof on a random Collision doing that in front of 3500 people. And I don’t have faith that he would be able to pivot every week depending on what the attendance is.

Ric Flair has bitched about Charlotte’s booking repeatedly for years.
No difference.
It’s a dad venting about his son. Anyone who takes this as a sign Jey is leaving is just pushing an agenda.

The merch money alone would be a reason to stay.
Sure, you'd have to work the best talent in the business and travel the world, but if you could put aside those drawbacks then it makes sense to stay put.

Most wrestlers will make more from merch in AEW. WWE does not pay out for merch until you break certain thresholds. Many in recent interviews said they made no cash from their merch sales in WWE.
People finally getting very open about their pay in the past few years.
And outside of the biggest WWE guys, almost everyone can get more cash in AEW, since they can work a paid side gig on the days they would be doing the WWE house shows. Hell some are even making more in TNA.

Lol. He ain't walking for AEW.
Every WWE performer to go to AEW has gone because their time was up in WWE for any number of reasons. Or they'd hit their absolute ceiling.
Some, the business had past them by - Edge, Jericho, Christian, Joe, etc.
Others weren't looked at favourably by Vince - Cole, Swerve, Danielson, Black, Claudio, FTR, Ricochet, etc.
Others were " never-wasers " in WWE - Strong, Storm, Buddy, Soho, Keith Lee, etc
And some were straight up problematic and had no future in WWE - Mone, Mox, Paige, The Hardys, Bill, etc.
No one at the top of the WWE card, or even in a solid upper/mid card spot in WWE is voluntarily leaving WWE for the lolz at AEW and the opportunity to work indie shows on the side. It's almost laughable.

Morning reports are WWE is extremely cranky that AEW offered Swerve and Garcia far more money they were willing to and now will not get them. Tribalists pushing hard that wrestlers should not be paid what Tony is paying them.
It is kind of funny how everyone in AEW sucks, until WWE wants them, then they are awesome. Unless like MJF they tell WWE no, then they suck again.
Reports still seem to be Lucha Bros are gone. They never worked WWE and are getting older, so it really was a now or never deal for them. Starks appears to be a matter of time as well, but does not appear to be strong interest from WWE in acquiring him. Reports still are he will be benched from AEW until released. He does not appear to have interest in working indy shows either, only working two non-AEW dates this year.
Seeing some noise that now that Saraya has returned to the ring, and been regularly active, HHH may want her back. To get her they likely will need to bring in Zak too now though. Zak could slot in easily on NXt though.

What a weird thing to argue. Fuck tribalism, you should always celebrate wrestlers getting paid well.
Swerve deserves every penny of it, too.

Word is WWE is saying paying people well like Tony is, is bad for business as a whole. And people been parroting this line for ages. It is like wrestling needs to be set up to benefit only the investors and everything is ruining the industry.
In reality it is just WWE throwing a tantrum that they lost out on Swerve and Ospreay who did not want to work more dates on the bottom of the card for less cash.
Kind of ironic though, that WWE started the whole massive contract shit to kill territories and now their investors no longer want those kind of contracts they suddenly have a problem with it.
Speaking of weird takes, seems being number 1 on cable for the main advertising demo is no longer good enough for Tony, people now basically demanding he brings people back to watching cable TV for AEW to be seen as successful. Until he does that apparently he does not deserve a cable deal.

Guess it is a slow news week, PW Insider trying to make up a story that Sammy and Black got into a backstage fight. Black who is obsessed with self-control, somehow lost it during an argument with Sammy according to the backstage fan fic. Like Black is a guy who always has a gun on him, he is not a guy who is gonna be brawling backstage like some failed MMA fighter.
Tay already said it is crap and I imagine the House people will as well before the night is through.

Reports are both MJF and Swerve will be taking time off. Talked about MJF elsewhere, but Swerve been on a serious grind with AEW so selling the injury def is not a bad thing. Also knowing Swerve this out of the ring time off will be to work on music or something, which ends up just helping AEW in the end. And well, this Hangman some time to breathe before Swerve returns and they go to war again.

I read it before I fell asleep last night.

Someone has to cut Ronnie Radke off internet, especially considering he's associated with Saraya(Who can't pick decent men worth a shit huh?). Lots of transphobia, having a caption of "Don’t you worry, no Haitians or Asians gonna eat you. I’ll protect you." as recently as today with the camera focused in on poland spring/chips with a dog in the picture as well. You can say Saraya and Radke are different people but like you are who you associate yourself with. With the chatter of contract extension ongoing(I think?), IDK if she's worth this baggage on her.
Like he's always been pretty bad but the dude is 40 years old and acting this edgy and cringe, it's gotten really bad.

Andrew Zarian is reporting the new deal between WBD and AEW is signed with shows and PPVs expected to go to Max. Also added WBD no longer has exclusive rights and Fox is showing interest.
Zarian has been the only person that seems to be accurate somewhat on this story so if he’s saying this there is likely some truth behind it. Guess we wait and see what happens the next couple days.

Meltzer now saying it’s a done deal. Probably assuming Tony’s comments and Zarian’s reports are accurate and running with it to join the party.
It’s totally done for real this time guys
