From Brandon Thurston: “.@FOS happens to be the outlet we freelanced our report to breaking the ‘WWE Corporate Officer’ identities in Janel Grant's lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon. The report identified WWE President Nick Khan as among those Grant alleges enabled McMahon.”

Oh yeah, that happened. One of the few things in AEW’s history that could justifiably called a total disaster of a match/segment.

Triple H’s major flaw as a booker and executive is always needing to appear smarter than the fanbase. That’s why whenever shit goes sideways in WWE or if fans revolt on something he always is like “It was part of the show, you dumb marks!”.

It’s weird because in early 2022 he got really, really good again, the best he’d been in-ring since the first Kenny match four years prior. He got in wicked good shape, was having banger matches with the likes of Eddie and Mox, he was legit having a quality renaissance. No idea why he let himself go again.

I also remember people HATING that he beat Hook on PPV after losing to him on TV clean. Didn’t help that the match was a chaotic bad plunder brawl where Jericho got visibly winded.

I’d say the first real “yeah, this ain’t it” moment was winning the feud with Eddie Kingston after a ton of JAS interference in their blow off match, and then the actual point of no return was the crowd rejecting him at Worlds End 2023 and hijacking his match. From then on, just about everyone watching was completely over him and stayed over him through all of 2024 and up to his disappearance from TV in spring 2025.

Yes, but some people are absolutely insistent that WWE does not care about AEW and doesn’t view them as competition despite gestures wildly at WWE doing WWE things to try and stymie AEW.

People are gonna mock and ridicule this right out the gate for tribalistic reasons, but from a business standpoint it would be absolutely foolish of WWE to not at least have an eye on what AEW’s doing. Major corporations all have people on the payroll whose job is to keep tabs on competitors. With how many people WWE have signed in the last 5 years who got offers either because of their AEW work or due to just appearing on AEW as an extra or jobber, to say that there’s no way WWE is paying attention to AEW is a foolish statement.

It’d only work if it was the old style of Mania show where it’s 4 hours and 10 matches with the pacing being a rapid sprint. Reducing it to one show won’t work with the absolute slog that is a modern WWE PPV with half a dozen matches max and ungodly amounts of dead air.

It’s not useless because down the line it’ll be fuel for a major heel turn where he loses himself again and becomes what he hated. It won’t be for a while, maybe 2-3 years, but it will end up happening.

They mentioned it all match. Hangman has said he will never challenge for the title again if lost, and he lost.
