I think Finn Balor getting injured here has made for one of the biggest what ifs in modern WWE history.
On his main roster debut he pinned Roman Reigns, then at SummerSlam he beat Rollins to become the first ever Universal champion.
AEW did not fumble Jade Cargill. Just like WWE didn't fumble Bryan Danielson
Sometimes people just get an offer from elsewhere that suits their needs better.
Frankie Kazarian is an AEW original, one half of the first ever tag champs and has the second most wins in company history at 71.
He has never won a singles match on AEW television.
Cody Rhodes AEW matches we never got
CM Punk
Hangman
Jon Moxley
Kenny Omega
Miro
Pac
Adam Cole
Bryan Danielson
Rey Fenix
Sting
Christian Cage

Perhaps Tony shouldn't be so conservative going forward
WWE being so successful at indoctrinating a huge portion of their fanbase into looking down on all other wrestling is very depressing for so many reasons
I would be beyond shocked if this man went back to WWE. If there's one person on the AEW roster I couldn't see going back to WWE it's between Jon Moxley or CM Punk.
People with the most AEW matches this year

Without ROH AEW 100% would not exist.
The Young Bucks easily could have retired at very young ages if not for ROH.
Cody's ROH run was incredible and that's where he hooked up with the Elite.
ROH let All In happen and helped them run the event
Jon Moxley still hasn't been beaten clean in a regular singles match in AEW.
The only people to beat him at all in singles are
Kenny Omega twice (1 unclean and the other stipulation)
Lance Archer (stipulation)
Kris is no longer an alien. Yuta has joined Blackpool Combat Club. Trent is teaming with Rocky. Is the end of Best Friends coming?
I could see it going either way
All Out is the first ever AEW ppv Chris Jericho won't be wrestling on. It ends his run of competing on 20 consecutive AEW ppv's.
With that the Young Bucks will be the only people to have wrestled on every single AEW ppv.
Toni Storm wrestling on Dark is a non issue. If she wasn't on tv you might have a point but she's been on tv every week since winning the belt. She wants to wrestle, let her wrestle.
Stu Grayson has been removed from the AEW roster page.
If his contract has expired it's disappointing but also not hugely surprising. It feels like AEW has had little interest in the Uno/Grayson team for a long time and Uno has worked more singles matches recently.

Black said that the only people that knew about his debut before he appeared on tv were Tony, Arn, Cody, security, Zelina and his father. And people still think bias is the reason AEW spoilers aren't reported. AEW are simply good at keeping secrets.
AEW could be without their 3 first world champions for a bit soon. Jericho is going on a UK tour I think, Moxley is away and Omega needs surgery.
And it doesn't feel like a big deal because they've built the rest of the roster up so well.
I'm going to preemptively say that no this is not Sin Cara. This is Dralistico, the brother in between Rush and Dragon Lee. When Mistico (Sin Cara) left CMLL for WWE Dralistico took the Mistico identity until last year when he assumed the Dralistico name.
Adam Cole has wrestled 13 times on AEW tv/ppv this year. Next week it'll be 14. There have been 16 weeks of AEW programming this year. I think he's being overexposed a bit. Seeing him wrestle every week with the roster available is a bit tiresome.
It's really unfortunate for Julia Hart that Malakai left AEW. She's been absolutely killing it in her dark matches with the new character. It looks like she's going to keep it but still
Across WWE, AEW and Impact programming this week only one women's match went over 10 minutes
Britt vs Ruby
Only one more went over 5 minutes Jay vs Ford
This wasn't meant to be a "look at how good AEW is" thing but rather a "the entire industry should be doing better" thing
Jon Moxley was the first person to beat 10 after he joined the dark order. After the match he broke 10's arm as part of his feud with Brodie Lee. Wednesday night is the rematch
