Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

Funny intro for FTR as they come out of their truck

Roberts: Literally driving to the ring from Ashville North Carolina.

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

Major change for tonight. On the "go home show" before the "too big for one week" fyter fest, Mox won't be on it.

They said he came into contact with someone who came into contact with someone who has the virus, so he informed AEW about it and will go get tested himself and won't be on the show.

If he has to go through 14 day quarantine, he'll make it back for the July 8th main event.


QT also came into contact with someone (unrelated to the Mox situation) and will miss this show too.

Most definitely talking about Renee and the current situation with talent testing positive at the WWE PC. Hasn't she been at the PC shows since Mania?

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

AEW removed Sammy from everything it seems like.

Took him out of the intro and didnt even show Jericho beating up Orange Cassidy because Sammy was there too.

Not sure how in advance things were filmed, but she's been there. Backstage interviews and even did some in ring interviews too, most recently the AJ title presentation on SD this past week where the ring was surrounded by all the talent.

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

Hopefully Brian Cage wins the belt at Fyter Fest think now would be a good time since Moxley has had alot of brutal matches as champ and Cage can have some great matches against the Elite members as champ.

I think given the ongoing situation, it might be best for him to drop the title and go home like Roman did. That way Cage can be champion and perhaps have Moxley return to take the title back at All Out.

But Moxley doesn't have nearly the medical history that Reigns does, so why should he just lose & stay home?

Ha, you meant because of "the other company" & his wife possibly being exposed to the virus. Well, Florida is becoming a hotbed so I wouldn't be surprised if multiple people are diagnosed with it in both companies.


I think if they want to strap the rocket to Cage and put him over huge then he should win. Otherwise, keep the title on Mox and let him build up the title further (with a known commodity).

I think they've again booked themselves into a corner much like Lance Archer vs. Cody Rhodes.

Renee Young confirmed on Twitter she tested positive. I can definitely see Moxley dropping the title now and staying at home with her while she recovers.

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

Renee announced she tested positive.

The statement on Mox was that he came into contact with someone who came into contact with someone who had it. Could've just said he came into contact with someone who had it?


Can he even be allowed to compete at this point? Apparently Fyter Fest is being taped in advance, so if he has to be in quarantine for 2 weeks, he's not even making the tapings.

If they can tape that match, have him drop the title so he can go home to be with her while she recovers. Even though they did explain it already, they could do a injury angle that post pones the match until All Out.

He's already at home. He's been advised to stay home already, so not sure how they'd have him travel back to Florida to do this.

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

Considering WWE wasn't testing anyone until very recently, no one should be surprised.

Oh ok, didn't know that. When did AEW tape this week's show? They still have to record Fyter Fest this week right? AEW & WWE might be looking at a situation where it will be best to air old PPVs and shows and shutdown all tapings for a month.

I think today's show was live or close to it. I saw it say live, but random times during show or a match it says previously recorded.

Sooner or later they will be forced to stop. I think some states are restricting travel to hotspot states like Florida and making people quarantine for 2 weeks if they visit a state. Only way around that would be doing 3 weeks of tv tapings every 3 weeks.


I've been in favor of WWE having old moments shown each week. You have 25 years of Raw, 20 of Smackdown. You could easily make a 3 hour "best of Raw 199_, 200_, 201_" show. 1 for each year. That gives you a few months of programming right there if they need it that long, while also promoting the network.

Their fear is that the networks will pull their contract (which is the main thing keeping them profitable) and ask to renegotiate. Or something similar to that effect, but it seems ludicrous given the current circumstances and how Florida is now exploding with cases.

Then again, this is the same company that released 20+ on-air talent & backstage workers just to meet quarterly projections and appease shareholders. Of course they wouln't believe their partners would act in good faith during a crisis especially when money is involved.

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

So is Brodie Lee still a midcarder?

I feel like the dark order thing got really cold.

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

I been tuning out of AEW guys. Haven't had time to watch Dynamite due to work and other stuff in life. So to see them destroyed by NXT in the ratings this week was not surprising for me. I am just not being engaged by their stars. Plus, I always felt like Jon Moxley was weak as a Champion as I feel like he's better chasing it. Even when he was WWE Champ, I just felt disengaged by what he does compared to when he's chasing it. The mid card, I am just not feeling them either. Hope they figure this out because I want to be invested when I am watching the shows. Not just have it on in the background while I multi-task.
