Jason’s Take
I’ve looked at quite a comments on the Chairshot Facebook page, and a lot of you appear to be unhappy with the move. The move is going to be nothing but positive for all involved. NXT is not one of the highest rated WWE Network shows, so the move isn’t going to adversely affect Network subscribers. The guys and gals of NXT are now going to be part of a global platform in front of a live audience, which will allow them to grow as wrestlers. It should make the transition for a main roster callup seamless. Regarding comments that AEW isn’t trying to compete with WWE, and WWE is picking on the little guy; What do you expect? All of the Being The Elite videos that mocked WWE and HHH, the knocking of Bayley, Cody Rhodes smashing a throne with a sledge hammer at Double Or Nothing. They brought this one on themselves. Regardless, Wednesday nights are going to be a blast for wrestling fans as we enter the end of summer.
More AEW On TNT Locations Revealed
Speaking of AEW, the company has announced locations for its October 23rd and October 30th episodes of AEW On TNT. The October 23rd episode will take place in Pittsburgh, PA at the Petersen Events Center. The October 30th episode will take place in Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, WV. Tickets for both of these shows will go on sale Friday, August 23rd.
Jason’s Take
AEW has had an impressive streak with its first few announced shows being sellouts. Can they continue the streak for the entire month of October ?
Tony Schiavone Signs With AEW
One of the names people remember on commentary during the Monday Night Wars is Tony Schiavone. Reportedly, Shiavone has signed on with AEW. According to The Wrestling Observer, Schiavone will also remain with MLW, and WWE had initially reached out to him as well
Jason’s Take
When I watched Double Or Nothing, I wasn’t overly impressed with the commentary team. My thought is that they are bringing Schiavone in to work together with JR on commentary. They obviously worked together in the past, so there will be some chemistry between the two.
SmackDown Women’s Title Match At The Clash
As seen on this weeks episode of SmackDown Live, Bayley accepted a challenge from Charlotte Flair during A Moment Of Bliss segment. The SmackDown Women’s championship match has been made official for Clash Of Champions.

This should be a gem of a match for the upcoming pay per view.

Former WWE Star Reveals How Company Tests Wrestlers for an “Attitude Problem”
A former WWE star took to social media to explain, in brief, how WWE evaluates its talent to determine whether they have an “attitude problem.” The post offered a glimpse into the company’s behind-the-scenes vetting process, suggesting that behavior and professionalism are actively monitored during a wrestler’s time with the promotion.
While the explanation was limited, the revelation underscores WWE’s focus on maintaining locker-room culture and managing talent dynamics. Fans and industry observers may read the post as further evidence that character and conduct behind the curtain can be as consequential as in-ring performance.
