BREAKING NEWS! WWE NXT released several talents right before the show began. Michael Davis has his initial reaction to these releases. On the rest of this week's episode, AEW announced a joint PPV with New Japan Pro Wrestling in the summer called "Forbidden Door." Michael has several matches in mind to what AEW can, and should, put on the show! Plus, after CM Punk's return to pro wrestling last August, he will face Hangman Page for the AEW Championship at Double or Nothing in May. Has Punk, Adam Cole, or Bryan Danielson had the best run in AEW thus far? And we are 9 days away from WWE's Backlash without a clear main event. Does Roman Reigns compete, or will another match have to close the show?
