There's always been a bit of drama about Malakai.
I think just let him go, and use the rest of HoB a lot more

Yep. It will be funny to read how suddenly he’s such a big loss for AEW and such an amazing get for WWE.

He would be a decent pick up for WWE under Triple H something closer to the NXT version but wouldn't say amazing get. Injury prone and feel like he is a better fit for WWE where the outside the ring smoke and mirrors stuff can work for him where its more about the character.Yep.

Its funny how some have that mentality like when Punk signed for AEW it was huge but when he left he wasn't a loss. In this case Black leaving wouldn't effect AEW in one little bit but he would be an ok signing for WWE but not "huge" or "amazing"
When you look at the talent that has gone from either to the other its always worked so far. Copeland has done some great stuff for AEW, Cody and Punk clearly have been huge for WWE, Ethan Page has been great in NXT. Buddy has been solid for AEW, Danielson nothing short of amazing. HOB was a hit.
Keith Lee's injuries/health aside there hasn't been to many misses from either side which has been great for the business.
I put him in the same category as Miro, Andrade and Keith Lee. All hype but showed sweet FA in both companies.

Keith Lee is a victim of circumstance, he doesn't belong in the same sentence as the other 3. The morsels of information we get point to a brutal case of long COVID that has ruined his respiratory system and his ability to wrestle.
Totally agree on the other 3 though. Yeah, you can show something in NXT, or you can have a fun meme character. But at the end of the day if you've failed on Raw, Smackdown and AEW, at some point we have to reconsider the talent's ability to get over.

I'm actually a fan of Andrade, his in ring work at AEW and WWE has been great. It's just a shame he's got zero charisma.
Group mentioned above aren't big losses. With Malakai and Andrade probably going to be more happy being in the same spot in WWE and at least with your significant others.
I really hope Brody and Buddy go singles on their own and not go down the lazy WWE way of throwing guys together in tag teams when they don't have stuff for talent. Glad they've taken a punt on splitting AO with Kyle Fletcher who keeps improving out of sight.

Miro was doomed from day 1 in WWE with the foreign gimmick, it was just leant in to so heavily that it was always going to be hard to do anything else. Don't think he did himself any favours in AEW from all reports and don't think the booking or new gimmicks helped him either.
I think Andrade is better as a heel but no matter which promotion he's going to be mid or undercard at best. Malakai possibly the same although as a baby face and on his own (like in NXT). Him being leader of a group doesn't just isn't the great idea he thinks it is.
Grand Slam Australia tickets now 20% off. They must be really struggling to sell remaining tickets.
Embarrassing
The disappointing thing is I have no doubt this will put off AEW touring Australia again. They could of got good crowds in Melbourne, Perth and probably Sydney.
But they choose Brisbane.
It could be a WCW situation. I believe they toured Australia in 2000 and never came back.
Also I read a news report today that Grand Slam Australia wont be a ppv due to time difference. It will just be a HBO Max streaming event that is free to those in US with the subscription.
Hopefully ESPN Australia will also show the event.

Hate that, people that want to go do the right thing and pay up early only for people to come last minute at discounted rates and potentially get better seats.
If they can’t fill the entertainment centre whoever did the market research needs to be fired.

Yep this type of thing has always shit me. Especially with todays tech, there is the ability to refund everyone the difference and lower all prices. Same shit happens with footy memberships and their SEN days
