AEW All Elite Wrestling #9: Mox Aggressor Brings the Blood

[boredmale]

Jade is allegedly finishing up with AEW and then will be WWE bound

Didn't she train with Cody Rhodes? Wonder how much he played into that choice.

Roddy waving off the neckbrace and then seeing Adam Cole and flopping like Michael Bunting was hilarious enough. Then the Kingdom playing NBA defense on Adam Cole from getting in the proximity of Roddy as he was being stretchered out nearly made me bust my gut. Holy f*** dude.

I really like The Kingdom stuff so far. Where Maria at?

Jade is perfect for wwe. She will absolutely become a star there, and they’ll probably get her a show too. Sucks that AEW spent all that time building her up only for her to go jump ship.

Edge will have a good AEW run, I’m excited to see that

AEW needs a real development program for their younger and less experienced wrestlers.

Jade shouldn’t have been built up nearly as much with her lack of in ring ability. But in WWE she’ll go to NXT and learn how to work cleaner, and in a year or two we’ll see her vs Rhipley.

 

[GKJ]

She ain’t going to NXT lol

 

[TheBeastCoast]

AEW is moving all PPVs to HBO Max and there will be 12 a year. Feel like it has been talked about since the company started. Glad it’s finally come through.

 

[Sheppy]

The WWE nerds love Jade now.

She sucked a few months ago, now she's god status.

Hopefully they get their tape library and ROH library in there too

Aside from AJ Styles, which recent big free agent signing at WWE went right to the main roster?

Jade Cargill has a great look but is a terrible worker. She needs more development in the ring. NXT would be the best spot for her.

I thought I read that that's a rumor, not confirmed.

Either way moving to max is great, but 12 shows a year seems like a lot

Ronda?

She only needs to be at the PC to do that. The things they have people do on TV in NXT, she doesn’t need feud with Thea Hail or whoever to do. She has a presence, look, and speaking ability that’s better than a lot of people they have on the main roster.

I have enjoyed having less PPVs. It had been four (Revolution, DON, All Out Full Gear) then they added FD and this year added All In and WrestleDream so we're already up to even PPVs for 2023. Collision already upped the weekly content to five hours which is the same as Raw and Smackdown. If you add monthly PPVs/PLEs or whatever they want to call them if they go to Max then it becomes a lot. Maybe too much for some. Some of the ones that feel that it's too much may tap out on AEW altogether because they feel what's the point if they can't keep up or may watch/download a couple PPVs per year but overall will be consuming less AEW content.

12 does seem like a lot but if it’s included with the monthly price then they probably just cut out most of the “special” Dynamite episodes and still come out ahead.

They put Eli Drake into NXT first, there is no way Jade just goes straight to the main.

Ronda was such a big name. Jade Cargill is not a big name. She was a wildly unpopular female Goldberg in a promotion that's smaller than WWE. People did not like Cargill as the TNT champion. Right now they only are pumping her up because Kris Statlander is even more boring.

To the degree that Cody was unpopular, which is to say not as much as people want to believe, Jade really wasn’t either. Maybe it got stale, but that was a Tony thing, not a Jade thing. If they send her to NXT, it would be more like what they have for her to do as opposed to what she needs to learn. Unless she just doesn’t want to go on the road every week right now.

Cody was very popular from the outset. People were sick of him as a face when he should have made a heel turn but TK didn't want him to.

Jade received almost zero pop from fans in the arenas and was blasted on the internet for her lack of ability in the ring and super short squash matches against locals to pump up a win total.

These things are not the same.

Cody didn’t want to. He was pretty direct that he was tired of getting booed.

Jade was in a lot of squash matches due in large part to who she was working, and because the women have been poor draws across the board. I’m not telling you she is great, but she wasn’t getting worse, and WWE have still run some people out there who aren’t better.

Whether it’s a mistake, I don’t know, but I don’t think they’re going to send her to NXT unless she wants to, and my suspicion is that she doesn’t.

Hangman the draw

It is pretty well established at this point that it was Cody that absolutely did not want to turn heel. There is nothing to back up the idea that Tony would have some issue turning anyone heel really.

 

[mrmovies779]

With the money she's getting from WWE,I highly doubt Jade is going to NXT.She can learn on the fly on the main roster from the veteran talents they have there

Really? I thought it was the other way around.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Really? I thought it was the other way around.

I am pretty sure I read an article like last month with Arn Anderson saying he was trying to convince Cody to turn full heel when the crowds turned on him and Cody wouldn't do it because he wanted to be a role model for kids. If Cody was down to pull the trigger on a heel run Tony would have jumped on board in a second.

12 does seem like a lot but if it’s included with the monthly price then they probably just cut out most of the “special” Dynamite episodes and still come out ahead.

They got 6 PPVs at the moment (if All In being an annual stadium show is a regular thing)

All In
All Out
Full Gear
Revolution
DoN
Forbidden Door

On top of that, they can turn TV specials into PPVs such as

Blood & Guts
New Year's Smash
Winter Is Coming
Beach Break
Grand Slam

And maybe WrestleDream is a thing that sticks.

12 seems like a little much, but if they're on the streaming service I'll enjoy them. If I have to pay 50 freaking dollars then I'll pick and choose for sure. I also hate match themed PPVs such as TLC, Extreme Rules, Breaking Point/Over The Limit which have been done in the past. Hopefully they stay away from things like that.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yeah that definitely looks like a goodbye for Jade.

Should’ve gone full Homelander tbh

 

[CDJ]

Honestly that’s EXACTLY the kind of character he should have been playing
