AEW Double or Nothing, WWE NXT Battleground SCOOPS THREAD!!!
Added 2023-05-28 22:59:00 +0000 UTCAEW Double or Nothing Scoops/Notes
- We've been told the International Title battle royal will go on fairly early in the show.
- We're told the AEW logo variation trademarked may be the permanent version of the AEW logo eventually.
- As of last week there was at least one non-CM Punk surprise planned for the show.
- As mentioned, there was a mandatory meeting for public relations advice. We've heard that Adam Hopkins made a great impression on the roster.
- Talent were told this weekend that Collision may start as a soft brand split, then develop into a harder one. They weren't told anything specifically.
- Jamie Hayter's injury is legit, and there were concerns that she wouldn't be able to work tonight. She was not cleared for a six-woman tag match a couple of weeks ago.
- We're told that several talent were able to play AEW Fight Forever over the weekend. It was said that this is a significantly more laid back weekend than some other PPV weekends over the last year.
- Several talent in the Blackjack Battle Royal did not know they would be in it when the match was announced. There was consideration to doing a Casino Battle Royale prior, which didn't happen at this PPV.
- The one full year that Jeff Hardy missed in-ring between last year's Double or Nothing and this year's is the longest break of his in-ring career.
- Tony Khan produced the Battle Royal. The finish was set last night.
- Hayter and Storm was set as this kind of match several days ago when it was clear that Hayter couldn't have a full match. We're told she's expected to remain in a top level push upon her return
NXT/WWE Battleground Scoops:
- Nathan Frazer, Oro Mensah, Ava, Ivy Nile, Jakara Jackson, Lash Legend are all in town
- WWE talent that were in Saudi Arabia have landed and are back home in the states.
- WWE has the full NXT coaching and creative in Lowell, MA for tonight's PPV. This includes Shawn Michaels, Matt Bloom, Terry Taylor, Fit Finlay, Oney Lorcan and Ryan Katz are all there
- Several readers confirmed PWInsider's report that Shane McMahon was at the Yankees game Saturday in a kneebrace.

2023-05-30 00:09:06 +0000 UTCDidn't SRS talk about this in a Q&A? If I recall, he wears a face mask because he doesn't want to be recognised irl.

2023-05-29 02:56:19 +0000 UTCAgree with others. Awful for full price, borderline acceptable for $20

2023-05-29 02:49:12 +0000 UTCI'd have been mad if I'd have paid full U.S. pricing. Fortunately with the Nord I took a 30 second trip to Germany and paid $20. Definitely worth that price. Lol

2023-05-29 02:46:41 +0000 UTCWeaker AEW PPV for sure, but Elite/BCC should be great and MJF will carry the title match.

2023-05-29 02:21:24 +0000 UTCI wish JR could still do the full shows but I do like Schiavone on commentary too. They should let JR and Schiavone do a two man booth for Collision till JR’s contract is up
Ant
2023-05-29 02:14:29 +0000 UTCIt's just a camera man. Watch any Dynamite and pay attention, you'll see the same. Black clothing and cap or balaclava is used to make them blend in to the background a bit more.

2023-05-29 02:13:53 +0000 UTCThis show is awful so far. I regret my purchase.
Joe B
2023-05-29 02:08:55 +0000 UTCI wondered about it, because Taz seemed to take exception to JR helping correct his call during the match. I was just hoping that he and Taz didn’t have a problem which made him leave. I hope it was just that he was feeling ran down

2023-05-29 02:02:39 +0000 UTCWhat’s up with the commentary switch after the tnt title match? Is JR ill or something?
Lord Kev
2023-05-29 01:58:06 +0000 UTCMan this crowd is making an air tight case to not do Vegas every DON
Troy A Palek
2023-05-29 01:30:19 +0000 UTCHe's the same cameraman Claudio stood next to. He's been around for a few years.

2023-05-29 01:01:03 +0000 UTCI saw the strange camera man as well. Thought for sure it would be a Punk reveal in the Jericho match. I’ll keep watching.
Jamie Ellis
2023-05-29 00:55:49 +0000 UTCAnyone notice this random camera man with his face covered? It doesn’t look like they’re taking any of his camera shots either 👀

Tori Melching
2023-05-28 23:48:23 +0000 UTCthe red logo is being used on the twitter hashtag too
Richard Hughes
2023-05-28 23:46:32 +0000 UTCSo just the collision logo? Why would it be a permanent switch? Unless they mean the red AEW logo at the top..

2023-05-28 23:39:39 +0000 UTCWhat does the logo variation look like?
Jonathan Cooney
2023-05-28 23:36:43 +0000 UTCMethinks Takeshita will join BCC for Anarchy in the Arena… and Kota Ibushi will join The Elite
