• Penta Made Over $1 Million During WrestleMania 41 Weekend
During an interview on The Duke Loves Rasslin podcast, D-Von Dudley said Tony Khan isn’t the right person to book AEW’s product, and that the decrease in AEW’s TV ratings and ticket sales shouldn’t be blamed on the wrestlers.
D-Von praised AEW’s wrestlers and said if WWE had every single AEW wrestler, they’d be unstoppable.
Duke then gave examples of wrestlers who jumped ship from AEW to WWE and experienced success. He went on to make a big claim about Penta’s success in WWE:
“Penta made over a million dollars just selling masks alone during WrestleMania weekend. Just selling masks. He made that off merch. He never had a check like that from AEW… not a merch check.”
Penta competed in the Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania 41 earlier this year.

This has begun speculation that Punk will become the World Heavyweight Champion again on November 1st and will have a busy schedule ahead.
Punk recently teased retirement during a WWE vlog, where he said the following:
“So I’m standing here now, near the end of my career. John Cena’s calling it quits, AJ Styles says he’s going to retire next year, and I don’t know how much time I’ve got left. I’m going to keep going until the wheels fall off.
I know that’s sooner rather than later. That’s why I think it’s important, for all of us, not just me, to celebrate every wrestler as they retire. There’s a whole new generation of talent coming in to take our place, and in a way, we’re excited to see that happen.”
