Wrestling Observer: AEW Notes
In this week's Wrestling Observer newsletter, Dave Meltzer mentioned a few items regarding AEW.
-the tentative plan once Collision starts is that CM Punk will be the star of Collision most weeks, but will periodically appear on Dynamite. In week's that he's on Dynamite, the people who don't want to be around Punk would work the Saturday show.
-there will be little to no change in the booking of the women's division as AEW management doesn't believe there's enough star power to sustain a split roster of women.
-Rampage may turn into what Dark and Dark Elevation were. in discussing Dark ending, Meltzer adds that he has no idea if this means roster cuts could happen.
-the taping schedule is looking like Dynamite and Rampage taping Wednesdays while Collision and ROH will tape together on Saturdays.
-Dave speculates on why the video game doesn't have a release date yet, thinks AEW should have released it during the late 2021-early 2022 hot streak of ratings, and that they may be waiting for Punk's return since Punk may appear in promotional materials.
-the May 10th show with the Moxley-Omega cage match will likely have strong tv competition. That night will have game five of Warriors-Lakers, Knicks-Heat; game four for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and a live town hall/interview with Donald Trump.
-Meltzer has been told that Will Washington's job will include helping Tony Khan write the tv shows with a focus on keeping talent visible and storylines straight
-Komander has been doing a worked injury at some indy shows. Apparently he was told to save his body now that he's got a big contract that gets him on tv
-despite heavy advertising in the UK for the Wembley show, that has not translated to tv ratings in the UK. the recent episodes have recorded the second lowest rating since February
