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.

Can’t wait for the sac show! I’ll be there

Yuta getting his head shaved was terrible booking. It should have been Toni or Marina. I really don't get how Tony can constantly screw up and miss an open goal.

Australia should be an easy sellout. But I've heard the company that does the promotion for them down there doesn't do a good job?

"There are still a number of talent we're told have been signed to AEW who aren't yet announced" 🤔

I can’t believe Tony didn’t do what I wanted so he sucks

Lynchman

As I understand it, they no longer have a regular TV in Australia. No shock ticket sales were not great.

Imagine thinking you know better 🤣🤣🤣

It was a boring and predictable outcome.

Bevan Shortridge

On commentary Schiavone mentioned they were on ESPN Plus. This surprised me, as when I went to the ESPN Australia site last week I could not find any trace of current AEW listings/showtimes.

December is not “quite some time “.

fightful

Yeah playboy, being signed for over two and a half months AT LEAST is. hope this helps -- SRS
