Below are some top AEW & WWE news stories of the day.
• On his 83 Weeks podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff admitted that he rarely watches AEW but decided to tune in to a recent episode of Dynamite out of curiosity, particularly to follow the storyline involving AEW World Champion Jon Moxley. However, his experience left him highly dissatisfied.
He stated:
“Where the best wrestle my a$$. That was some of the most horrible wrestling I’ve ever sat down and forced myself to watch. Some matches were okay, but it was garbage from the beginning to the end.”
Bischoff criticized the overall quality of the program, describing it as unengaging and below his expectations for compelling wrestling content. He added:
“There’s nothing about it that I find interesting or compelling, I think it was one of the worst wrestling shows I’ve ever watched. From the concrete floor in the arena up, it was so bad.”

• LA Knight is the current United States Champion and one of the top babyfaces in WWE.
During an interview with CBS Sports, AEW World Champion Jon Moxley praised Knight’s rise to the top and how hard ‘The Mega Star’ worked to be in the spot that he’s in today.
Here’s what Moxley said:
“The thing I love about it is, it’s the perfect example of an overnight success story that took 20 years.
People think, in all walks of life, they have such impatience for stuff and they give up as soon as things turn hard and as soon as there are challenges in front of them, especially in this sport with such ups and downs.
Nobody’s road is consistent and good all the time to the top. They give up so quickly. No matter what anybody told him, he had his vision and intention and stuck with it for years and years and never wavered.
All of a sudden, one day, people think they picked him up out of the blue like they had a WWE casting call one day and they hired him. No, it took 20 years of eating sh*t to get to that point. That’s a lesson people should learn from.”
