Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales, is back.
We watched the first NXT on USA together and recap the show. Because of WWE Network issues, we didn’t get to watch the second hour. We discuss the TV situation in Canada for both NXT and AEW’s shows.
We talk about Kofi Kingston defending his title on the first Smackdown on Fox show as well as all the other WWE programming that will be on Fox leading up. Dave answers a question many have had about both Smackdown and AEW when it comes to being live on the West Coast. We recap Tuesday’s Smackdown, talk WWE ratings, look at AEW’s tag title tourney bracket, and then preview both New Japan’s show and BOLA for this weekend.
Lastly, Dave talks about what the Wrestling Observer Newsletter deadline schedule could be when AEW and NXT go head to head.
