AEW Collison last Saturday began airing early on Triller. It was fascinating to witness AEW’s pre-broadcast rituals being filmed with high-quality, professional cameras rather than a cellphone in the audience.
Bobby Cruise began speaking to the fans in Jacksonville.
“Anybody here a Miami Heat fan?” Bobby Cruise asked to a middling reaction. “Anybody here a Celtics fan?” Once again, the reaction was middle-adjacent. “Okay, anybody here not care?” The reaction to this last proposition was uproarious and hilarious.
“You just want to see AEW, I get it,” Cruise joked as he stood at ringside, betwee ..read more

AEW President Tony Khan wore a neck brace during the NFL Draft as a nod to selling the angle at the end of Dynamite on Wednesday where he took a stuff piledriver from The Young Bucks.
The decision to sell the injury the next day at the NFL Draft was noted by media. Pat McAfee referenced it on his show. A panelist noted that Khan was turning his neck back and forth anyway, despite the neck brace, and wasn’t particularly convincing that he was nursing a serious neck issue.
Yahoo Sports referred to it as “an amusing sporting crossover” and provided the backstory.
