Cultaholic was covering some stories that said that WWE was running a “smear campaign” against AEW about the pizza cutter incident - trying to blow Domino’s reaction out of proportion, looking to try and make the story more maintstream, etc.
Not going to lie, as a Social Studies teacher, I’m kind of fascinated at how this plays out as an example of a market leader’s business tactics in an entertainment industry, especially in interaction with the wrestling news media; I’ve long since come to the conclusion that Vince is a *genuinely* great and dangerous businessman, probably the best in his industry, but his believe he’s anything but a mediocre booker gets in his own way… and with that fact becoming public knowledge in a wrestling new industry that has arguably *grown* even as the industry itself sinks, some of his old tactics aren’t as effective anymore.
And when examining how de-facto monopolies work in luxuries like entertainment genres, it’s fun to notice how the existence of AEW basically shows where an entertainment genre simply can’t be cornered the way a more physical commodity can.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP
It seems that WWE has released Bray Wyatt
Bray's release is true

Could be drugs...Wyatt is losing weight but it's likely another big contract the WWE is taking off it's books which means a sale is coming

A possibility occurred to me: We know Omega is still battling some injuries (hernia, etc) because his "innings" are still being "managed." And so what if AEW is trying to push Omega vs Page down the road a bit more because they want it to to be a MOTY type match and they want Kenny more healthy for it?

Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
Whatever the case with them changing the Orton/Wyatt match outcome right before Mania, I'm assuming it's related. Dude is talented, if he wants to wrestle still, he'll have no shortage of job options.
Crazy idea time: Malakai Black and/or Bray Wyatt (who eventually comes to AEW) turns The Dark Order into a heel faction via purges and dramatic betrayals? A mutual build up of both the stars and that faction?

According to Meltzer Wyatt's release was due to budget cuts.

With negative 1 being in the dark order I doubt the stable can go back to what it use to be. Better off creating another dark stable.
It was said that weeks ago a new insider trading type lawsuit was gonna hit the WWE as the company had settled one months ago. This one was gonna be more expensive and the big cost is what were seeing happen more than likely.
No idea what name Rotunda (his real name) will use in AEW or elsewhere. But he could be perfect to re-turn the Dark Order back into a heel faction and make them dark heels again.
