For those that aren't jumping from Kbin to Lemmy with most of SquaredCircle, might I suggest subscribing to https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] so at least we might see some of those conversations? It won't help those of us using the microblog function, but it's worth a shot to keep the conversations going.

When Bayley's wacky arm waving tube inflatables come back they should have duct tape on them like she taped the old stabbed ones back together. #WWE #Wrestling #ProWrestling

They should make Sting the new commissioner of AEW and he could be Commissioner Borden... he can hide in the rafters, keep wearing the trench coat and the disappointed dad look while sending Darby out to handle problems... play it up like The Animated Series' Commissioner Gordon and Batman...

Dave Meltzer is now claiming what's happening with The Rock and Cody was the plan all along, and everybody got worked, and he knew the whole time... which is a completely different tune than he was playing a couple of days ago... I'm starting to think this man might make shit up! #Wrestling #ProWrestling #WWE #WeWantCody #RockySucks

PWInsider.com is told this wasn’t done to target and politic Cody out of his main event out of malice, but out of the belief that Johnson was the best idea to make money now and respect his new position with the company’s parent company. This was a strategic move to give Johnson more political power overall and to show Endeavor’s faith in his involvement and that even Paul Levesque, who has done an admirable job as the Chief Creative Officer, would "lose that power struggle with Johnson at this point", as one source surmised.

“I stand by my prior statement that Ms. Grant’s lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and is a vindictive distortion of the truth. I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations, and look forward to clearing my name. However, out of respect for the WWE Universe, the extraordinary TKO business and its board members and shareholders, partners and constituents, and all of the employees and Superstars who helped make WWE into the global leader it is today, I have decided to resign from my executive chairmanship and the TKO board of directors, effectively immediately."

Edit: Nick Khan statement to Employees:

"I wanted to inform you that Vince McMahon has tendered his resignation from his positions as TKO Executive Chairman and on the TKO Board of Directors. He will no longer have a role with TKO Group Holdings or WWE."

Just when I thought it wasn't possible to think any less of Tony Khan's tweets, the man snorts the good stuff and proves me wrong. Jinder didn't deserve that trash shot. #AEW #WWE #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Dunn, who held the post of Executive Producer & Chief, Global Television Distribution, informed WWE around Christmas week he was exiting after more than three decades with the company. We are told that a big factor in his decision to retire is changes made internally post-Endeavor acquisition and as one source stated, that Dunn was "never going to do anything that was dictacted" to him, as opposed to how he personally oversaw production in the past. We are told this was not an issue of creative but two differing versions of how things should be run from a TV production perspective as WWE's new owner seeks to cut costs.

... See link for full story, this is truly the end of an era.

Multiple sources in the broadcast industry have confirmed that the CW Network and WWE have been in deep discussions for weeks about NXT shifting from its current basic cable home on the USA Network to a traditional broadcast television home, airing live weekly on the CW Network when the brand's current media rights deal ends in September 2024.

WWE has since confirmed the news.

Pat LaPrade in Montreal first reporting PCO's exit. PWInsider.com learned independently that he is indeed exiting.

I paraphrased the stories and link to the originals.

Khan, HHH, Dunn, and Blum come out, Khan hypes and introduces McMahon. McMahon introduces his new boss Ari. Ari talks about wanting to be WWE's agent 20 years ago, mentions his daughter works for WWE. They pushed the merger as an evolution of the company. All execs except for Vince stayed and talked with employees.

PWInsider Story 1

Employees were allegedly unhappy about Vince claiming the company had hit a plateau because business was great after he was kicked out and if it hadn't been they would have let him back without him needing to force his way in and causing Stephanie to leave. Employees were sympathetic towards Stephanie and HHH.

Ari's reference to getting his daughter hired was jokey or serious depending on who you ask. His daughter has actually been an employee for "some time." Ari stayed and spoke with employees, as did the other execs, Vince left immediately though.

HHH did not speak from the stage. Vince was obviously still recovering, yes they served refreshments.

PWInsider Story 2
Vince used a cane to get up on the stage and to get to the podium. Vince played up he's "Vince, Damnit" and then forced them to clap for him, "this is when you're supposed to clap" and "you're learning" when they clapped.

Everything was filmed by a WWE crew. Execs came out from behind an old RAW set.

PWInsider Story 3

Do you go to independent events?

If so, do you have a preferred promotion?

Do they have a YouTube where I can look them up?

TMZ.com is reporting Windham "Bray Wyatt" Rotunda passed away in his sleep during a nap last week. He was discovered by what the article described as his girlfriend (Jojo Offerman) and that his mother attempted CPR as the authorities were called.

Citing a police report, they also noted that Wyatt had been in the hospital the week before and had been advised to wear an external defibrilator to assist with his heart during a follow-up appointment with his doctors. The device was found in Rotunda's vehicle parked outside his home.

The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee is expected to open a congressional investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as soon as Thursday, a source tells CNN – the same day former President Donald Trump is slated to surrender at the county jail after being charged for participating in schemes to meddle with Georgia’s 2020 election results.

The committee is expected to ask Willis whether she was coordinating with the Justice Department, which has indicted Trump twice in two separate cases, or used federal dollars to complete her investigation that culminated in the fourth indictment of Trump, the source added. The anticipated questions from Republicans about whether Willis used federal funding in her state-level investigation mirrors the same line of inquiry that Republicans used to probe Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who indicted Trump in New York for falsifying business records to cover up an alleged hush money scheme.

Meanwhile, Georgia Republicans could launch their own state-level investigation into Willis’ probe, according to GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who has spoken to top officials in the state about a potential probe. She has also been pushing for a congressional-led inquiry into Willis, who has previously dismissed GOP accusations accusing her of being partisan and consistently defended her investigation.

“I’m going to be talking to (House Judiciary Chair) Jim Jordan, (House Oversight Chair) Jamie Comer, and I’d like to also ask (Speaker) Kevin McCarthy his thoughts on looking at doing an investigation if there is a collaboration or conspiracy of any kind between the Department of Justice and Jack Smith’s special counsel’s office with the state DA’s,” Greene told CNN. “So, I think that could be a place of oversight.”

It all amounts to a familiar playbook for House Republicans, who have been quick to try to use their congressional majority – which includes the ability to launch investigations, issue subpoenas and restrict funding – to defend the former president and offer up some counter programming amid his mounting legal battles. But they’ve also run into some resistance in their extraordinary efforts to intervene in ongoing criminal matters, while there are questions about what jurisdiction they have over state-level investigations.

The title was altered slightly so I could remove their all-caps titles.

Basically, Punk is using his power to block people from attending or working some Collision events.

[I altered the title because of PWInsiders all-caps titles.]

WWE's Triple H/Paul Levesque and UFC's Dana White were not named to the board.

TMZ Sports has learned WWE Superstar Sonya DeVille suffered a serious knee injury that will require surgery.
