I wonder if the new owners of the CW Don't see any positive returns in the next 2 or 3 years. Is it possible that they might just pull the plug on it? Because if that happens, what happens to NXT?

lol. lmao even.
 
Tony vastly over-estimated how much people would care about RoH when he bought it. Their roster at the time consisted of people who couldn't make it in any of the bigger companies and indie guys that AEW could book already anyway if they wanted them.

He then proceeded to throw the RoH belts into AEW which further watered down both products. He should have jumped at literally any TV deal offered for the brand so it could have stood a chance of being established as its own thing rather than shitting up the midcard for his main show.
 
Problem with that is that had he taken the deal, he'd have had to have done a hard roster split and piss off Discovery, who would be pissy that Punk, FTR, and a good chunk of the WWE cast offs not aligned with the Elite are now on the CW. Not to mention dealing with people who signed up to be AEW and NOT ROH. Case in point, you think Jericho would be happy if he got kicked out of AEW and forced to be exclusively on ROH TV?

I can understand buying ROH given how it cleaned up working with NJPW and a lot of legacy issues for the company for The Elite's history, it's probably one of the less-coked-up ideas he's dumped money into.
but yeah unless there was a really serious fucking monkey paw on that deal, getting your wrestling product on NATIONAL BROADCAST FUCKING TV is kind of a big fucking deal to get mainstream, even if it's a shithole like CW

Ah yes, let's trust a podcast no one has heard of. At least Wrestletalk has more credibility despite having Adam on the payroll knowing full well what kind of guy he was.

Now it makes sense why The Bunny made an OF account. She is no longer with AEW.

Not like she was being used and when she was it was as a jobber or interference. She would have been better used as just a valet as the company needs some.

Is that Van Zant girl still with AEW? Does even anybody remember her? She signed her contract and then never showed up again.

Out injured for awhile I believe. Should be ready to go if they ever have a use for her.

Several other people are reporting on it if that makes you feel any better.

There are more sites talking about Bunny leaving than that.
Closest you'll get is Haus talking about how Tony wanted to get the 2024 deal for AEW done first before anything with ROH. Not a combined deal.
If they leave the WBD though then he'll try and go with getting a deal with both as WBD don't want ROH. Even though they'd get a back catalog on wrestlers like Seth, CM Punk, Kevin Steen, El Generico. Something WWE doesn't have and didn't really bother to pursue for the network.
