B.J. Bethel joins Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine to break down his SEScoops report on the WWE-ESPN relationship, and it isn't pretty. Bethel details how ESPN won't be renewing its five-year, $1.6 billion deal to air WWE premium live events on the ESPN Unlimited app once the current contract expires — despite the app only launching a year ago. Bethel walks through the "culture and synergy" issues between the two companies, cable providers refusing to absorb the app's cost for subscribers, and the price hikes now hitting customers directly.
Then Garrett and Paul preview AEW All In at Wembley Stadium on August 30, sorting the entire nine-match card into "matches we care about," "matches we don't care as much about," and everything in the middle:
Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay — AEW World Championship
Willow Nightingale vs. Mercedes Moné — AEW Women's Championship
Kyle Fletcher vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada — AEW International Championship (Three-Way)
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. The Young Bucks — AEW World Tag Team Championship
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross vs. Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor — AEW Women's Tag Team Championship
Kevin Knight vs. Darby Allin — TNT Championship, Falls Count Anywhere
Hangman Page, Bandido & Brody King's Trios Championship open challenge
Continental Challenge Cup Final for the AEW Continental Championship
Casino Gauntlet Match for a shot at the AEW World Championship
Paul also weighs in on CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens from last week's SmackDown in Toronto, where Sami Zayn turned on Owens to help Punk retain the Undisputed WWE Championship.
