AEW had a monumental day with AEW Collision announced -- and CM Punk notably absent from the proceedings -- ahead of Dynamite building for Double or Nothing; this as NXT continued to develop storylines for Battleground. Host Adam Silverstein opens by remembering "Superstar" Billy Graham before diving into the new AEW deal [5:25], including what we know and what we do not. He also takes a look at the latest incident involving CM Punk, the rehiring of Ace Steel and what it means for Tony Khan's promotion going forward. "The Silver King" then breaks down the week in AEW TV [20:00], including the return of Hangman Page and development of the Four Pillars storyline. Next, Adam slides over to a disappointing edition of NXT [43:15] with a lackluster build for Battleground including Carmelo Hayes calling out Bron Breakker three times, DIJAK torturing Ilja Dragunov and both Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade advancing in the NXT women's championship tournament.
