It’s another busy day on Wrestling Observer Live.

Ricky Starks is the new Defy World Champion, ending KENTA’s 615-day title reign in Seattle Friday night. I talk about a big win for the current AEW star.

I also cover a firing in AEW and some releases in WWE.

Solo Sikoa made his return on WWE SmackDown and a number of people qualified for next month’s Elimination Chamber.

Plus: a preview for tonight’s AEW Collision, AEW’s image problem, and the controversy over AEW Grand Slam Australia.

It’s a packed show so check it out.
