Some AEW notes from tonight's AEW Grand slam
We had interviews with Willow Nightingale, Harley Cameron and Kyle Fletcher from DownUnder the Ring. See them at our Youtube.
A lot of talent headed over earlier in the week, but a large amount flew over after Dynamite. This led to many higher ups and even Tony Khan not hearing about the WBD/Brody King rumors
A number AEW sources we spoke to still expected the "Fuck ICE" chants for Brody King, despite being in Australia.
We did not hear of any major injuries coming out of Grand Slam as of yet.
Jamie Hayter was originally scheduled for GirlFight in Kentuckiana this weekend, but was pulled to appear in Australia. Athena ended up replacing her.
Lena Kross has been signed for quite some time. We first heard the wheels were in motion in early December.
For those asking about the IIconics, we've heard that there has at the very least been communication between the two sides. They are firmly done with TNA Wrestling as of now, still.
There are still a number of talent we're told have been signed to AEW who aren't yet announced.
As one would expect, Jon Moxley vs. Konosuke Takeshita will continue.
Most people in the company expected Wheeler Yuta to have his head shaved for the Grand Slam angle. It was said he was a good sport about it.
AEW upgraded a number of fan's tickets as there were plenty of unsold tickets, so they could improve the look on TV.
The extra in the Andrade/Hangman match was Aysha, an Australian indie wrestler.
Kyle Fletcher had a passionate speech at the AEW Grand Slam show as well.
Scorpio Sky and Anthony Bowens didn't go overseas as they were at NBA All Star Weekend.
A reminder, AEW has a "house rules" house show Sunday, and then return to Sacramento for Dynamite Wednesday.
