AEW Off-Topic

When I went to All In London in 2024, the time difference certainly took me for a loop as an American. Being several hours ahead of US East Coast time was certainly a challenge for me the first couple days there. Then it made me realize how late people in Europe have to stay up for other sporting events like the NFL and what not. I definitley prefer the three hour time difference of the west coast for sure lol.

It makes sense to me, build on that great European fan base that the WWE is ignoring and won't give a WrestleMania too. I want All In to start going around to different cities and be treated like a WrestleMania but maybe do another big show in London when All In is elsewhere. It's going to boost sales for All In London next year as the crowd will be invested throughout the next year thanks to earlier start times, likely an increase in PPV buys as well.

I wouldn't say WWE is ignoring the European fans. As much criticism as they get for some things done in the TKO era, the fact that European fans (and most of the world outside the US) have this Netflix deal is huge.

And getting multiple LIVE Raw/SDs from Europe, something that I think has only happened a handful of times if even that over the history of Raw or SD (where the show aired live on local TV only, but tape delay in the rest of the world), that's big for them too.

Europe definitely will get a WM one day, I see it before WM50 for sure, but I can bet anything the amount of money spent to be the FIRST non North American WM host for WM43 was too enticing to pass up on, and something no European city would ever think to pay for anything.

Mox has now been in AEW longer than he was on the main roster in WWE.

Doesn't feel like it but it's true.

Feels almost like Kurt Angle in TNA where obviously his time in WWE is the bigger part of his career known to way more people, but his TNA run was longer and arguably had some of his best stuff in it.

On the flip side, Cody Rhodes has been in his current WWE run longer than he's been in AEW (I believe it was around Summerslam where he surpassed his AEW match total).
