Braun Strowman? I definitely didn't expect that..

Agent Coulson · 02-06-2021 4:31pm

Tony Khan please stay away from Braun.

Agree 1000%

Agent Coulson · 02-06-2021 4:32pm

I’m guessing they didn’t rehire Thea Trinidad a few weeks ago so.

Black and her would be good in AEW.

Lana no doubt will join Miro.

Angron · 02-06-2021 4:34pm

And after Aleister just returned with his new character.

Ruby being released bums me out too.

02-06-2021 4:36pm

Sean Ross Sapp really gets the scoops these days ahead of Meltzer and the likes. He always seems to be the one to break the big stories now.

Lord TSC · 02-06-2021 4:36pm

Strowman has me stunned. Thought he'd be a lifer, given his look.

Black is a hilarious example of how short sighted they are. Spending weeks building him up, introduce him to feud with a top baby face, bring his wife back...and sack him. Unreal.

Didn't Braun make some smart alecky comments about Independent wrestlers last year?

There's some schadenfreude for you.

RollieFingers · 02-06-2021 4:38pm

Murphy and Tommy End seem the obvious pickups for AEW.

Agent Coulson · 02-06-2021 4:38pm

I really hope the AEW Twitterverse gets on to Tony Khan's timeline saying do not touch Strowman.

Headshot · 02-06-2021 4:38pm

Stay well clear of Lana too TK

Headshot · 02-06-2021 4:40pm

Karma is quite funny.

Braun could well be spending some time in the indies

I dont want him ****ing near AEW

Yep! Her and Braun. No thanks

It'll be interesting to see where his tucked tail ends up.

Lana is about 2 years overdue and I don't mean that as an insult. Going to AEW as a valet is absolutely playing to her strengths husband or no husband given how they handle managers.

Ruby is a sickener but Ronda Rousey stopped any chance she had in WWE. Excited to see where she lands.

kksaints · 02-06-2021 4:40pm

Surprised Strowman has been released, he was in the Raw main event of the last ppv. Always seemed like your stereotypical WWE big man who they'd bring back every now and then to put a new champ over.

CastorTroy · 02-06-2021 4:40pm

They hold back on releasing Black, film new vignettes, have him finally turn up then release him?
They were never going to use Ruby right, but I'm sure she and Liv are heartbroken. She can go join her twin brother in AEW.
Braun is a big surprise.

Lord TSC · 02-06-2021 4:42pm

Braun is super over with casuals, and would generate proper heat from hardcore (as seen by the reactions on here). He’ll be in AEW pretty quick IMO.

As will Murphy and Black. Both of those have been massively mismanaged by WWE and will slot into AEWs roster easily.

I get AEW shouldn’t be like TNA, but young, mismanaged by highly over characters like those two are no-brainless. Especially when WWE has just spent weeks promoting Black for them....

Agent Coulson · 02-06-2021 4:44pm

AEW would go from must watch weekly tv to not really interested if Strowman turned up.

The AEW roster does not need him.

I said Big E was a crap feud for him. Both men needed different opponents to elevate them to where they needed to be.

It smacked of just not giving a **** about him. Like of all the people to attack in that match, why not Owens given that would have logic to what they previously booked? Gas stuff.

Lithium93_ · 02-06-2021 4:47pm

Horrible mismanagement to be honest.

RollieFingers · 02-06-2021 4:49pm

Would Strowman generate the right type of heat though? For me it would be totally go away, change the channel heat, he's terrible.

PTH2009 · 02-06-2021 4:50pm

Jesus surprised at Braun Strowman getting released

02-06-2021 4:57pm

I thought Braun was younger. 38 in September

Angron · 02-06-2021 4:58pm

brianregan09 · 02-06-2021 5:01pm

Agree with everyone Strowman needs to stay away from AEW , Black could be a massive signing long term , guy has it ,WWE just don't have a clue what IT is anymore

Officer999 · 02-06-2021 5:04pm

Shocked.

Murphy and Black would be brilliant additions to AEW

JP Liz V1 · 02-06-2021 5:05pm

I am surprised with Braun's release too, just off a title match also

Black back with a new gimmick and feud then release, baffling

What now for Naomi, new tag partner or join MVP with Lana out

02-06-2021 5:08pm

This guy gets a lot of stuff right supposedly.

(Why do tweets not embed anymore for me? :pac: )

Headshot · 02-06-2021 5:10pm

I'd take NXTs Black all day long but WWE have destroyed him

Who's in the next round of cuts.

Finn Balor
For Finn's sake i hope he's one cos they've ruined him as well. Jobbing him to Kross who's a terrible character who's saved by who his girlfriend/valet/manager does and she's easy on the eye

Adam Cole
Should've gone to the main roster after the break up of UE but they've made a bleep of it

Not a chance but god damn I'd love to see him in AEW

Agent Coulson · 02-06-2021 5:15pm

I think Lana as Miro's manager/valet could work well actually in AEW.

Thea and Tommy would work well.

Buddy Murphy and The IIconics leading an Australian faction in Impact

Or Blake and Murphy back as a team in Impact.

He doesn't need a manager, Miro's promo's have been awesome

He's a one man army and needs to stay as that

Miro 100% doesn't need a valet

02-06-2021 5:18pm

I still think Jeff Hardy will be released

Same here. Sometimes they show but usually not.

I'm sure Miro would like Lana to get work with him, but he doesn't need her and after how the whole storyline with them and Lashley, they need to stay separate.

How long until Impact update their video?

J. Marston · 02-06-2021 5:23pm

Black is a certainty for AEW.

Lana is shíte as a wrestler but a good manager. A trashy Cody/Brandi vs Miro/Lana feud is inevitable down the road.

Ruby would be a decent addition to their women's roster.

As limited as Braun is, he's worth taking a punt on with a short term deal to see if anything clicks with him. Might have to swallow his pride though.

riffmongous · 02-06-2021 5:26pm

Braun would be better suited to Impact imo, more big men to put him against and a different style of wrestling. He'd dwarf most of the AEW guys and considering his post was aimed at Evil Uno I doubt he'd be welcome.

Plus AEW has a big enough roster as it is, they can't keep hiring everyone

PTH2009 · 02-06-2021 5:26pm

Gobsmacked here about some of those releases esp with the way they were used right up until very recently

It has been shown that been released helps the motivation and if you work hard the door could reopen

CastorTroy · 02-06-2021 5:26pm

Any update on Bryan? Like is he officially done or has he signed a new contract?

Itssoeasy · 02-06-2021 5:30pm

Feel sorry for ruby riott as she should have been used far better than she was but I’ve no doubt given how talented she is, she’ll get another gig and do great.

Braun is a genuine shock as he’s a star that they have used well in the recent past.

I don’t really see where this wwe is being sold narrative is coming from. Yes, is it likely it will be sold at some point in the future ? Yes, but for all Vince’s weird quirks, he’s very big of his families history and his father and he’ll never sell it while he’s alive IMO. Now, once he’s taking the three count I can see it being sold but not until then. As we have seen vince is a stubborn bollocks.

Lithium93_ · 02-06-2021 5:30pm

Well there's one man who's definitely keen to see where the man FKA Aleister Black winds up...

Itssoeasy · 02-06-2021 5:33pm

The only way that Braun being released makes sense if there was some thing back stage that happened. I’ve heard nothing about any incidents but the others I can see why they were released but not Braun unless as I said there was a good reason.

PTH2009 · 02-06-2021 5:35pm

It wouldn't surprise me If Bray Wyatt is released

His contract was the issue according to Sean Ross Sapp.
