So will he compete in the Royal Rumble or go straight to 205 Live?

I think the safest guess is always NXT. Debuting people there FIRST then bringing them up to the main roster seems to be be a good formule. AJ has been the exception.

205 guys have also been expections. Most of the principal 205 guys never had runs on NXT. Lio Rush is the youngest guy in the roster and he didn't have much of a run on NXT TV.

True, in the case of most of the NXT guys they debuted on the Cruiser Weight classic first.

But that's similar to debuting in NXT, in that it's a "smarter" crowd than the main roster one. So they're more likely to give a good reaction to any indy wrestler debuting.

Yeah, I do think AEW potentially hurts Impact and ROH more than anything else. It'll be interesting to see if any of them will start working together more as the wrestling landscape changes. Competition could hurt each other... but as we saw with WWE and WCW in some circumstances competition can also help.

I kinda hope they do the free agent route where several of the wrestlers are allowed to be at RoH, AEW and Impact. I mean I've seen Madison Rayne perform at RoH, Rise and the Mae Young Classic. Tessa is signed with Impact but she's been on Rise and also was at All In.

If nothing else, I'd like to see free Agency just to see how many names Johnny Impact/Mundo can rack up. I'm sure Johnny Elite is just around the corner if they can work things out.

I think in the short term free agency will happen. But if/when AEW really gets big, I suspect they will be less likely to share top talent the same way Impact/TnA started to be when they began to grow a bit. Though guys like Omega and Jericho will likely be able to do whatever the heck they want.

Finally watching NXT Takeover UK....that's is a potential PPV of the year right there

[Gryphon]

NXT UK Takeover might have even been better than wrestlekingdom

I don't think NXT UK or 205 Live get the attention they deserve. On the right day, they wrestling wise can be as good as anything else out there. The cool thing about the WWE is that it's big enough to provide an alternative to itself.

Sounds like Viacom is making room for a 1 hour live combat sports show on CBS, Tuesdays this fall, at 10PM.

Take that as you will.

Viacom and CBS Corporation are still separate companies at this point.

That last match was non-stop spectacular. Interested to know what move they were going for on the top ropes though. Seems like that was supposed to be the finish.

Honestly it worked better with the botch. it tied into the story of how much it took out of them and how intense a physical contest it was

Reading somewhere that Lars Sullivan is nowhere to be found (He's no showed twice now).

Feel sorry for him, seems to be having mental health issues. Given the nature of pro-wrestling at the highest level, I'm not sure its an appropriate career choice for him. But then again, I don't know the nature of his illness.

based on what i've been reading, he might be dealing with severe anxiety issues and coming from someone who suffers from it, it's not a fun time for him.
