I'm sure they'd set up Raw/SD/NXT at T-Mobile, but I wonder how a show at the Sphere might look? I saw an NXT house show at a theater in Seattle and it was an interesting vibe.

Have to imagine that's in the cards since UFC is already planning to do a card in there this year and it's the same company now.

Probably not enough seats and the video boards are apparently beyond expensive to configure currently...why so many are doing the residencies to spread the cost over so many tickets sold

Feel like that’s been said already. Maybe that’s why Mercedes didn’t come back there. Though, her deal is/was New Japan

The word on the press event on Thursday was that WWE ‘greatly overshot’ what they expected despite the event being free. There was two to three thousand there.

I didn’t expect much. It came across just fine on tv though.

Okada is going to AEW is expected to sign anytime now according to Fightful.

Can’t wait to see the comedy segments with Orange Cassidy and the Best Friends in front of 1200 fans. And of course the barnburners main eventing Collision against Daniel Garcia, Sammy Guevara or Chris Jericho. :rolleyes:

He’ll get lost in the shuffle just like everyone else. Look at what they’ve done with Jay White..

Oh well, I suppose he went the safe route. And I’m sure Tony offered him a truckload of cash. But man, the thought of him going to WWE is pretty exciting. A few years ago I would have said hell no, but now? I think HHH could have made him a megastar in North America. Imagine Okada vs Gunther?

Not everyone gets lost of the shuffle lol blatantly false statement. Jay White hasn't been either. I do look forward to people raging about him doing some goofy tag match in AEW like he hasn't been doing those for the last decade in Japan. Okada-Gunther would have been awesome. There are lots of cool fresh matchups in AEW along with some classics that can be run back.
