'They Should Move To Any Other 
Night, Get Away From Us' - Chris 
Jericho Slams WWE With A Bold 
Statement!
We’re kicking off with news from 
Chris Jericho today, as the AEW star 
has weighed-in on Brock Lesnar 
leaving WWE. 
As previously reported, Lesnar’s 
deal expired after WrestleMania, 
and though both sides have been 
working on a new contract, they 
recently took a break as they 
couldn’t agree to terms, making 
Lesnar a free-agent, and open to 
dicussusions about fighting in UFC, 
or even joining AEW. 
Speaking to Sportskeeda, Jericho 
explained why he feels Lesnar isn’t 
as much of a free-agent as people 
believe, saying: 
“The only reason why the rumor’s 
there is somebody said “free agent”. 
I don’t think he’s really a free agent 
at all. I think it would take so much 
money to pry him away from Vince 
McMahon on Brock’s end and then
for Vince to approve that…I mean, 
Vince has two billion dollars in the 
bank. What are you going to spend 
on Brock Lesnar that Vince isn’t 
going to match? And Vince and 
Brock have a strange love affair, 
to begin with.”
Jericho added that he doesn’t know 
if Lesnar would be able to justify
his salary if he was to join AEW, or 
even return to UFC, adding: 
“I think it’s just another one of the 
dances that Vince and Brock like to 
have where Brock’s contract expires,
and then they stay away from each 
other until the next Saudi Arabia 
show or the next show that has
people in the crowd, or WrestleMania, 
whatever it may be. So I don’t think 
Brock is really a free agent in the 
sense of the word, I just think he’s 
like currently not under contract right 
now.”
Though it’s unclear how much it’d 
cost AEW to sign the Beast, Jericho
said it’d be an astronomincal figure, 
and added that he doesn’t think 
McMahon would let that happen, 
before questioning whether investing 
in Lesnar would be smart for any 
company other than WWE. 
Jericho also took the time to put over 
both Brock and McMahon for being 
smart businessmen who enjoy a good 
negotiation, so it seems fans 
shouldn’t expect to see Jericho 
tussle with the Beast on Dynamite
in the future. 
One person who could eventually 
be All Elite is Renee Paquette, 
and though she’s left WWE, she 
hasn’t distanced herself from every 
company she was under contract with. 
After revealing that her phone is 
ringing off the hook with offers, the 
Canadian broascaster spoke to 
Sports Media, where she said that 
she’s unemployed, but backtracked 
on her comments, saying she’s still 
employed by FOX Sports. 
Though FOX dropped WWE 
Backstage, which was a huge loss
for the former Renee Young, she 
could still show up on FOX 
programming, but it’s not likely to 
be for any WWE-related reason. 
Back to WWE now and we’re looking 
ahead to tonight’s SmackDown,
as a huge show has been 
announced. 
WWE Women’s Tag Team 
Champions Shayna Baszler and 
Nia Jax will have a title rematch
against Sasha Banks and Bayley, 
whist Universal Champion Roman 
Reigns, alongside Paul Heyman, 
will address the WWE Universe. 
Speaking of the Big Dog, Roman’s 
first challenger will be decided tonight, 
as Big E, Sheamus, King Corbin and 
Matt Riddle will have a number-one-
contenders match, with the winner 
facing Reigns for the title at Clash 
of Champions on September 27th. 
Given that Reigns is now a heel, 
and he feuded with Corbin earlier 
this year over dog food, it looks like
Big E and Riddle are the favourites, 
and given his singles push as of late, 
we’re putting our money on Big 
E to walk away the winner and 
challenge for the Universal 
Championship at Clash of Champions. 
Over to AEW now, as the company 
had the luxury of holding Double or 
Nothing in the Daily’s Place in May 
this year, and though the 5,500 seats 
were empty, Tony Khan believes the 
show was a roaring success. 
During a teleconference to hype this-
weekend’s All Out, Khan dscussed 
hosting events in the current situation, 
and said how he feels their show was 
better than WWE’s flagship event, 
claiming Double or Nothing quote 
“kicked the crap out of WrestleMania.”
Like Double or Nothing, WrestleMania 
36 went ahead without a live crowd, 
which was a bit awkward as Drew 
McIntyre’s career-defining win 
happened to silence, and with AEW 
having it’s wrestlers in the front row
to provide some crowd-reaction, the 
All-Elite company certainly had a 
much louder show. 
That wasn’t all Khan had to say 
during the teleconference though, 
as he was also asked about the 
upcoming second AEW show, which 
was scheduled for late 2020. 
Though Khan said the show will be 
launched next year instead, though 
with no confirmed date, he did confirm 
the second show won’t be AEW Dark, 
which will remain on YouTube. 
With AEW Dynamite being a runaway 
success, the company’s second 
televised show will likely bring a lot
more interest to the All-Elite company, 
and with a passionate fan base who 
have supported AEW since Day One, 
we expect the new Televised show 
to be as popular as all AEW 
properties.
Back to SmackDown and one person 
we’ll presumably see tonight is AJ 
Styles, who was moved to the Blue 
brand following some issues with 
Paul Heyman, accusing Reigns’ 
advocate of lying during his 
involvement of Luke Gallows and 
Karl Anderson being released in 
April. 
On Twitch, Styles still seemed upset 
at Heyman over the incident, though 
added that his Good Brothers are 
doing fine on Impact now, and added: 
I could care less. It’s water under the 
bridge. Not saying that I have forgotten 
what he’s done, but I’m not gonna 
be that guy who holds a grudge, I’m 
not like that. Okay dude, you know  
you pissed me off, you know how I 
feel, I may not ever trust you again, 
can I get along with him professionally? 
Absolutely. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna 
be mean to him or say anything, it’s 
over. My buddies are doing fine.
Now, Styles has an advocate of his 
own in fellow TNA alum Joseph 
Parks, and whilst the Phenomenal 
One won’t be inviting Heyman over 
for Thanksgiving anytime soon, its 
good to see that the two can  
co-exist on the same brand. 
From one SmackDown star to 
another now, as the Miz joined 
Hot 97’s Hip Hop Gamer to discuss 
a variety of topics. 
Older fans will remember Miz’ sole 
reign as WWE Champion from 
2010-2011, and given that it’s been 
nearly a decade since he won the 
title, the question of a second reign 
came up. 
When asked who he’d like to take 
the title from to solidfy his legacy, 
Miz said: 
I’ve been asked that question quite 
a bit.  It’s very easy now that Roman 
is back because Roman Reigns is 
the poster child, whether people like 
to believe it or not. He is what John 
Cena was.  He is what Hulk Hogan 
was.  He is that guy. If you don’t
believe me, look at every poster.  
He is front and center.  
Why is he front and center? 
Because he has the “It Factor” 
whether you love him or you hate him,
he has it. If you didn’t like Roman 
Reigns when people liked him, now 
he has Paul Heyman in his pocket.  
He is the most dangerous, most 
lethal superstar in all of WWE.  If I 
want to even have a chance to 
dethrone him from being that poster 
child, I need to take advice that I 
gave Big E on Talking Smack these 
past few weeks.
Miz added that with Paul Heyman 
on Roman’s side, that he wants to
do some great promos with the 
Advocate, and added that there’s 
not a doubt in his mind that he can 
take Roman Reigns to a new level in 
a feud. 
Time will tell whether Miz’s plan to 
win the Universal title from Reigns 
comes true, but what do you think? 
Would you like to see a second 
World-title reign for the A-Lister?

We’re jumping across the pond to 
NXT UK next, as WWE is bringing 
the brand back, and not only is there 
a lot in store for fans, but there’s a 
very special individual in charge. 
Alex McCarthy reports that Shawn 
Michaels is leading the NXT UK 
Tapings, albeit virtually from the U.S.
as he could make the trip physically 
at this time, though it’s said that 
HBK’s voice booms over the whole 
studio when he wants to address 
talent. 
Hopefully, Michaels will one day be 
able to attend a set of NXT UK TV 
tapings in the near future, but for 
now, there’s few people better to 
lead the excited UK roster after 
being postponed since March than 
Mr. WrestleMania himself. 
More Brock Lesnar news now, as 
though there’s a chance that he 
could return to MMA, 
fans shouldn’t expect to see him in 
the Octagon. 
It’s worth mentioning that though 
Lesnar’s WWE contract expired 
earlier this year, this isn’t anything 
new for Brock, though his hiatus this
time could be a little bit longer. 
Recently, Dana White said that he’
d be willing to talk to Lesnar about 
a UFC return, though the Beast 
hasn’t called him, and on Wrestling 
Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer 
explained why he may not return 
to MMA at all, saying: 
“There’s no economic way that he’s
going to Bellator to face Fedor, 
that’s just not going to happen. As 
far as facing Jon Jones, you can 
absolutely make sense in your mind.”
If Lesnar wants to return to the 
Octagon, he’ll have to pay a 
$250,000 fine, after he failed 
a pair of drug tests surrounding his 
return fight at UFC 200 in 2016 
against Mark Hunt. 
Meltzer also noted that Lesnar’s 
wife Sable hates him fighting, and 
with so many reasons for Brock 
not to return to MMA, it seems the 
former Universal Champion is happy 
to wait for WWE to call with a new 
deal, and a very high price tag. 
One person fans will see in the ring 
is Sasha Banks, and though WWE 
didn’t hold Evolution 2 this year, that 
hasn’t stopped the Boss from laying 
out a huge challenge. 
Speaking with Table Talk, Banks 
was asked about who her dream 
opponent would be for an all-female 
Pay Per View, and didn’t mince her 
words, saying: 
Trish Stratus. I would lose my mind… 
She was the best. She was beautiful.
She was athletic and she inspired
me… When I finally got to meet her
and work with her, I fell more in 
love with her. She is the most 
amazing beautiful human being I’ve 
ever met.”
Whilst WWE Evolution 2 isn’t
impossible, WWE might need some 
of their big female stars, such as 
Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair or 
Becky Lynch back before they book 
the show, though having Trish 
back to face the Boss would 
certainly get fans watching. 
Over to NXT now, and with both the 
gold brand and AEW Dynamite doing
better when they air on different days, 
there’s now talks about NXT moving 
from their Wednesday slot. 
One person who’s had plenty to say 
on this is Chris Jericho, as the self-
professed DemoGod addressed the 
rumoured change when speaking 
on Busted Open Radio. 
The former AEW World Champion 
blasted the quote “very petty and 
very spiteful” company, saying that 
WWE thrust this was on AEW 
by moving NXT to Wednesday 
nights, and once again highlighted 
that Dynamite consistently wins 
in the crucial 18-49 demographic. 
He added: 
They should retreat. They should 
move to any other night. Get away 
from us! You guys got a great 
program, and it's good; why would 
you want to sacrifice your own 
ratings just to be spiteful and petty 
to go head to head with AEW?
Jericho added that WWE moving to 
Tuesdays could allow NXT to get 
850,000 or even 900,000 viewers, 
far more than they’ve been getting 
when competing with NXT on 
Wednesdays. He said: 
There's nothing wrong with conceiting 
defeat, moving to a different night, 
and worrying about your show and 
not worrying about going head to 
head with AEW
Time will tell whether WWE do 
retreat, though we’re sure that Vince 
McMahon won’t call it a defeat, as 
the ratings and viewing figures for 
recent weeks have proven that 
being on different days is beneficial 
for both NXT, and AEW Dynamite. 
And finally we’re ending with AEW 
news, as with fans once again 
attending shows, the company 
isn’t taking chances in the current 
situation. 
With fans returning, AEW put signs 
all around the Daily’s Place to 
encourage everyone to be safe, 
but with a certain AEW style, 
such as one sign featuring Chris 
Jericho that reads “Hey Idiot! Wear 
a pask.” 
Other signs including Orange 
Cassidy with the message ‘Keep 
your sands to yourself’, 
whilst Britt Baker encouraged fans 
to be a role model and wash their 
sands, with Jon Moxley’s sign said 
“Be like Moxley, stay vocally 
distant.”
With AEW bringing fans back to their 
open-air ampitheater, hopefully 
fans will listen to the advice given,
especially given that with Florida 
warm weather, the company will 
likely continue running events 
in the Daily Place, even in the winter.
