Tuesday night war SCOOPS THREAD! This will be updated as the shows go on.

- AEW had set Swerve Strickland vs. Bryan Danielson as the opener of Dynamite by Monday.

- Many NXT regulars in the crowd were not able to attend due to the demand for NXT tickets tonight and were on standby. WWE sources said it was the most demand they've seen for a mid-week NXT show at the WWE PC.

- To reiterate, Velveteen Dream has not been at the WWE Performance Center.

- We're told AEW knew as of early this afternoon that Jon Moxley would not be able to compete against Fenix.

- Both AEW and WWE sources we were speaking with were very confident with the shows they had planned for Tuesday.

- Fightful will have concurrent NXT and AEW post shows.

- WWE and AEW were still making calls as of Monday to add or change things on their shows.

- AEW Dynamite went 45 minutes commercial free, while NXT went 29 minutes. AEW also ran a Toni Storm silent film during a PIP to keep fans. Through 9:15 AEW had three minutes of commercials that weren't PIP.

- During the commercials, John Cena hopped the rail and took as many selfies as he could with the crowd.

iron sharpens iron. LFG all around.

Sean Carragher

Is the issue with mox a new one or still the injury from the previous match with rey, if so why was he even originally cleared for this match?

Scott Payne

LA Knight guest referee 😂😂

Probably a situation where he's close, and they were hopeful he'd be ready, but couldn't clear him as of this afternoon.

Harrison Nelson

Was that quarters bit with Juice cleared?

Khitiara

id assume and hope so but idk im not the scoopster. juice has used a roll of quarters in his punch for years now

rocksolid124

This. I'm sure people will fake outrage about the spot on Twitter, but it'll add more heat in the angle and be even better when MJF gives him his comeuppance.

Houstorm

If they did clear it, they lose any moral high-ground they may have been able to claim between them and the past of WWE

The way I said it earlier: MJF brings it up enough that a villain was going to eventually bring it up on their own. Juice is a villain that ALREADY uses the quarters to load up his punch, so yes of course he would be the one. ......and yet no one looked around and read the room on timing. That specific detail didn't have to happen this week, save it for a week or two down the road.

Harrison Nelson

My big issue is, Juice's gimmick has been used so sparingly in aew. I think it would have been more palatable if he had used much more often, more frequently.

Joel Allison

Save the fake outrage it’s FN wrestling nobody had a problem when Sgt Slaughter was praising Saddam and burning the American Flag.

Troy A Palek

So you missed the whole part where they had to actually hire personal security for slaughter and his family leading up WM7? I promise ALOT of people had an issue with that angle at the time, just wasn't social media to let everyone get said opinions public.

Alex Bradford

They had to change the location of WrestleMania 7 due to Slaughter fearing for his life.
