I like Shelton, but he's how old now?

Shelton is 49. Damn. Dude still looks 30. I’d have him be more of a wingman than full timer.
MVP, Lashley, Shelton & Hobbs. They need to get a young guy in with them. Hobbs with Callis is fine, but wasn’t really a fit. Injury sucked but allows him to do something new when he’s back.
Swerve needs help when fighting The Hurt Syndicate. Perhaps Keith Lee could be that help? But do they really want to go back to that?

Put the Costco Guys match on Rampage or Collision, please. So I don’t have to recap it.
I have no idea who they are or why they’re famous (they review Costco food and say Boom a lot, ok, and?).
I’m not the audience for those two

Not including PPV that's a good deal. Including PPV that's a little tougher. |

So the deal includes PPVs on Max for a discounted rate. Whatever that means.

The more you read, the better the deal sounds.
That's really great for everyone.

A VP of Sales may need to offer to spit on something to get those followers up. AEW and WBD will also collaborate to distribute AEW live pay-per-view events on Max at a discounted price per event, with all marketing and promotions of those PPV events exclusively centered on Max. AEW PPV distribution on Max will begin later in 2025, with additional information and pricing to be shared in the coming months. |

Multiple reports provide some updates on AEW‘s new deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.
As announced on October 2, All Elite Wrestling signed a new multi-year deal with Warner Bros. Discovery that will see AEW Dynamite and Collision stay on TBS and TNT. As part of the deal, the two shows will start simulcasting on Max in January. Irving Mejia-Hilario of Sports Business Journal reported that sources said it was a three-year deal with an option for a fourth year.
New details have since come to light. Warner Bros. Discovery CEO of U.S. Networks Kathleen Finch confirmed that AEW’s library will be available to stream on Max as well, per the Hollywood Reporter.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful (via Fightful Select) also reported an update. As of this writing, Dynamite and Collision will stay on Wednesday and Saturday, and Rampage will no longer air on WBD. It was noted that upon the new deal, AEW and WBD prioritized Dynamite and Collision. Sapp wrote that WBD noted that Rampage could end up elsewhere, but there is currently no word on any plans.
Sapp wrote that the plan was for the full library with Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage included on Max. However, if Rampage lands elsewhere, future episodes will not be on WBD.
The financial aspects are still unclear, as Sapp wrote that neither side disclosed the details. The deal has been reported to be worth an estimated $150 million, while Sports Business Journal wrote that it was approximately $170 million. Sapp wrote that the previous estimate of $170 million was said to be low, per sources.
Furthermore, Sapp wrote that with the new deal, AEW regained some rights; the previous deal in 2023 let WBD maintain exclusivity, which led to the end of AEW Dark. With the new deal, AEW has those rights again, and Sapp reported that there have been mentions internally about possibly using Dark again.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.

According to a source close to the situation, AEW’s new deal with Warner Bros. Discovery is closer to $185 million per year, not the previously reported $150 million.

Lashley signed with AEW and will debut soon according to SRS. It ultimately won't amount to anything (Lashley doesn't do flips), but good for Lashley and the Hurt Business getting another opportunity. |

If they can use them to elevate guys like Hobbs potentially, then I’m for it.
Lashley could be a solid top level guy and will stand out in a company that doesn’t have a ton of “body guys”.

For some dumb reason they’re (presumably) giving Private Party a tag title shot at WrestleDream. Fine, whatever, they got their asses kicked 3 times by the BCC and just squashed The Iron Savages (with their botched finisher) and that’s all it took.
I digress, The Bucks need to beat Zay & Quen at the PPV, then have The Outrunners show up and be the next challengers and win the titles to end the year.
I don’t need a long run, just strike while the iron is hot with them, don’t go to Zay & Quen, after they were just slaughtered by Mox & crew for multiple weeks
