Spoilers for next week Saturday Dynamite are out in the wild. Two notable spoilers are
spoilers:end of spoilers
Erick Rowan made his AEW debut to help Brodie Lee win the TNT title. Bludgeon Bros together again.
NWA women champ Thunder Rosa appeared to challenge Shida for the women's title at All Out.
true. it takes time to make stars though, brit didn't happen overnight.
i think it would be cool to see an old vs new thing happen with the women, bring in lufisto & cheerleader melissa as bitter vets who never got their due. would be good for them to work with some of the less xperienced ladies and also gauge who the crowd wants to get behind out of the babyfaces(when crowds come back).
page is super over as a babyface like they wanted him to be from the start, why waste that for the 500th rehash of the horsemen??

WWE has let people go for violations of this nature though, so I do think Dream would be gone if they investigated this and found anything. As good as Dream is, he's probably not someone WWE would really be hurt by if he were let go. Nor is he someone they would be afraiid AEW would take if they let him go, given the nature of the allegations. Impact might, because IMpact will take anyone.
So while we obviously don't know for sure, if he's back on TV I think it's fair to assume they tried to investigate the matter and didn't find anything. But we'll see. If WWE starts getting a lot of heat over Dream, they might just let him go anyways. Again, I don't think he's such a valuable talent that it would be worth the backlash.

Eh, you can't hide/ignore this stuff like you could back then. WWE's a publicly-traded company now and they would stand to lose a lot of money trying to cover up for a non-draw like Dream.
That's my point though. WWE has already released at least 3 guys due to the speaking out movement. Granted they were all probably not as big a star as Dream, but it's not like Dream is freaking John Cena here. He could be let go without NXT really missing a beat.
I really don't see the Horsemen in AEW as pure heels. They should be. But FTR has not been handled as heels. I find the Young Bucks to be kind of unlikable. Page had a heel storyline at first, but honestly, it's the rest of the Elite that look more jerky.
AEW Horsemen at best would be cool heels. Sadly, we have way too many wrestlers trying to be cool heels.
AEW released Jimmy Havoc, Bea Priestley, and Sadie Gibbs.
