Yeah just wish they would advertise them. I love Jeff Jarrett but who gives a fukk about him making an announcement in 2025?
Absolutely but at this point, we already know how he goes about promoting guys so there's no point even saying anything about it.

They definitely have the talent to easily run 2 distinctive shows though and would allow a lot shiit to breathe.

Feel like while announcing stars would help, that maybe it's best to let the show play out without it. Now that the CC is over and it's coming off a ppv, they can start building up towards AGS. Better to let the new feuds start up instead of saying this or that gonna happen. Of course Rico and Swerve gonna ramp up their program & I also expect some fallout from CC matches and WE. Maybe even some UK stuff, hopefully they are heels and not faces. But overall it should be like a restart for most storylines & titles. Like we can get anyone such as Mariah, Mercedes, Okada, or Takeshyta to come out. Let's see if anyone surprises us and comes out as the next challenger.

I don't think AEW has that luxury right now, if anything they should be putting all their top guys in the ring consistently to make sure that if AEW is coming to your city in 6 weeks, you can buy a ticket knowing that you'll see MJF/Swerve/Lashley/etc. Of course they don't all need to be wrestling on the same show but it should be a rarity for those guys to not at least appear and cut promos etc. Nobody in AEW deserves a Roman Reigns schedule while the arenas remain half full and the viewership sinks. If they wanna go with that "Where the best wrestle" tagline then an extension of that should be them priding themselves on having their top stars wrestle on TV consistently. The only guys they should be holding off on are Okada, Omega, and maybe a few select others

While that is a good point, I don't mean keeping stars off tv, since many will be there. I mean as far as who will be interacting with who for the foreseeable future. Like what be feuds will be built up. It's like the Raw after a PLE. Yeah the champ will be there but you don't know who may come out to confront them to setup for the next event.

Plus there are only a limited number of hours of tv time each week so it's not fair to split stuff evenly among everyone since they all aren't equal. They focus more on the main stars and the tag division and women fall behind and people complain, and vice versa if the other way.


All workers
Adam Cole, Adam Page, Bang Bang Gang, Brody King, Cash Wheeler, Christian Cage, Dax Harwood, Dr. Britt Baker DMD, FTR, Jay White, Juice Robinson, Kings Of The Black Throne, Kip Sabian, Konosuke Takeshyta, Lance Archer, Lio Rush, Malakai Black, Mother Wayne, Nick Wayne, Penelope Ford, Prince Nana, Roderick Strong, Swerve Strickland


i looked back to mid November about 6 weeks and those were the stars on Dynamite that night, and other than Juice being injured, and Britt, they all been mostly been featured thru out the shows. Most fans don't buy tickets 6 weeks in advanced so they at least know closer to the event what they can expect.

Other than major injuries, filming stuff, or contract issues like Ricky and LB, they haven't really been keeping people off for too long. Maybe Toni but that's likely related to her storyline. Not to mention that a lot can change in 6 weeks, shoot even 6 days.

WWE has the luxury of split rosters but even still i don't think they announce much so far in advance either. They got so many superstars that guys could be missing a week or two without much notice.

The way i see it, which i don't think is the right way, is announcing matches for no reason. Announcing stars is better. Like I'll give two good examples.

Example A: After her win against Statlander at Worlds End to remain TNT champion, Mercedes faces off against ______ this Wednesday on dynamite.

Example B: After her win against Statlander at World's End to remain TNT champ, we hear from Mercedes. Who will step up and be the next challenger for her title?


Give me some suspense instead of telling me what's gonna happen.

They usually say who’s there weeks in advance when you go to buy tickets.


AEW may have four guys on their ticket page but its no guarantee they’ll be there. One for earlier this year still had Sting advertised after he retired :francis:
