Just gives Vince more time to roll out some geriatric to cut a terrible promo or for another scooter race or poker game!

As stupid as AEW is, nothing that they do is close to being as dumb as this spelling be, academic team shit that WWF has Fat Otis and Chad Gable doing with RK Bro. Gable is annoying beyond belief but this whole thing is awful and has no end game. The fans should boo this nonsense relentlessly throughout the whole 20 minute segment. God, this is trash.

I more or less called it.

Could the debut be Killer Kross and Scarlett? If so and the entire stable of EC3 and Sherr come with him…. I think that would be badass. Bring them in and start the AEW trios title tournament.

Two Former WWE Stars Might Have Just Spoiled Their AEW Arrival

AEW is teasing a surprise debut for this week's AEW Dynamite, but the surprise might have accidentally been spoiled. Former WWE stars Karrion Kross and Scarlett (now going by Killer Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux again) took part in an autograph signing this week and a clip has emerged from the [...]

New Japan Pro-Wrestling star "Switchblade" Jay White is the latest name rumored to potentially be making the jump to AEW.

According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t Michael Perry of Ringside News), sources have mentioned White's name as someone who could work with AEW in the near future.

Meltzer noted that while White has been working for NJPW and Impact Wrestling, it wouldn't preclude him from working with AEW as well.

In reference to White potentially being the big signing Khan is teasing for Dynamite, Meltzer reported that it could be him, although he would not be free and clear to sign an exclusive contract with AEW.

The 29-year-old White is one of the hottest stars in wrestling under age 30. The Kiwi has already accomplished a ton in NJPW, including holding the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, IWGP Intercontinental Championship and IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship.

White has also shown a willingness to work more in the United States, as he has made several appearances for Impact since the summer.

Khan has often used the "Forbidden Door" term when discussing AEW and NJPW working together, so his tweet could be a nod toward that and the possible arrival of White.

Have to give them credit they have everyone talking about this evening which is of course what you want. As I mentioned a few posts ago I'm tempering my expectations based on the last time TK did all this hype we got Christian. Hope it is a huge surprise and name.

[Wesley91581]

No surprise can top the Rick rude showing up on taped raw on tv and live nitro the same night

 

[WildcatFan1982]

or Luger showing up on Nitro

 

[WildcatFan1982]

but Rude shaving the beard made it pretty dang sweet.

 

[Fast3ddy]

So we have Keith Lee (hope not), Jay White, Bray, Jeff Hardy, Shane O’mac, Josh Alexander… am I missing anyone? E3 and Karion Kross? Just don’t set the expectations too high, ride the ride, and see what happens.

 

[Creed Bratton]

I heard it was Goldberg....oh no wait not Goldberg it's Gillberg.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I think Keith Lee is on his honeymoon

Well he built it up with his 3 tweets or whatever so ya he set the expectations high

 

[Fast3ddy]

At this point in the game, we know who TK is and how he operates. We just gotta take him for who he is and what he says with a grain of salt. He gets really excited over signing Sonny Kiss…

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Kizarny is due for a second chance.

 

[Nbacats]

maybe it'll be Bastion Booger?

Shockmaster making his long awaited return!

 

[Nbacats]

Wonder how many debuts (or announced debuts) we will be getting tonight?

 

[WildcatFan1982]

well I mean obviously Pete Gas and Joey Abs

 

[Lexie's Dad]

Hunter.

IWC implodes.

 

[Wesley91581]

24

 

[Glenn's take]

Sorry for the spoiler. My people just got back with me.

 

[K-mac18]

Sounds like there’s going to be more than one tonight.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Jim Cornette will debut as the Young Bucks manager.

Cornette showing up would break the internet.

 

[Fast3ddy]

Also TK has basically said expect contracts to run out and not resign. I took it as a lot of people are going to be working elsewhere

 

[WildcatFan1982]

reports of Sunny and Missy Hyatt backstage.

Who tag teams with CM Punk?

What if it is...Samoa Joe?

I'm still hoping Regal debuts.

 

[Nbacats]

Give me Punk and Samoa Joe vs. FTR. IWC will lose their shit.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Jay White

 

[WildcatFan1982]

and Keith Lee

 

[Nbacats]

Keith Lee!

 

[GeraldV]

A dude like Keith Lee is exactly what AEW needs. A big guy who can go.

 

[Fast3ddy]

I got super stoked to see Jay White, then it all came crashing downs I just didn’t want to accept it.

[WildcatFan1982]

Keith Lee was literally everything about a wrestler that makes Vince orgasm. I'll never get how he screwed up that bad.
