Show Notes
NXT and AEW offered plenty of news coming out of special shows this week with both brands entering crucial periods. Host Adam Silverstein dives into all the major headlines. "The Silver King" begins with analysis of an NXT Heatwave special [3:15] that featured tremendous entertainment but some odd creative and booking decisions that left him scratching his head. Also covered is WWE's announcement of a Worlds Collide special that will mark a transition from NXT UK to a new NXT Europe brand. Next is a look at a noteworthy week in AEW [36:20], including the return of Kenny Omega in the main event and a promo segment between CM Punk and Jon Moxley that got so heated, it resulted in the All Out main event being scheduled for TV next week. Plus, an unexpected shot at "Hangman" Adam Page, interesting creative around Bryan Danielson and Daniel Garcia, and examples of AEW's mishandling of contracted talent for pay-per-appearance wrestlers.
