>“I don’t have a PPV estimate past some numbers that we have indicate the lowest of 2026, but this has also been a great year. The key distributor these days is HBO Max and we were told the numbers were comparable there to Dynasty, which did around 145,000 buys, so this would likely be a little bit lower since other distributors were down.”

>Meltzer also wrote that a potential reason for the show trending below other AEW pay-per-views this year was the lack of an AEW World Championship match. AEW World Champion MJF was involved in the 12-person steel cage match on the show, leading a team of Don Callis Family members against a team led by Mark Briscoe.

>Meltzer continued:

>“As far as a reason, my gut is the lack of an AEW world title match is the main culprit as MJF would have meant more in a singles match than in a 12-man match to build up a title match.”

>MJF later defeated Briscoe in a title match to open the July 1 episode of AEW Dynamite.

>Meltzer also noted that the pay-per-view was up against NXT Great American Bash and a Sunday night baseball game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. However, it was not up against a primetime World Cup game.

Her mom posted on IG that Scarlett passed away on July 4th. She had DMG brain cancer and was only 8 years old in which she just turned back on June 25th.

So, we all know about Hogan vs Austin and Taker vs Sting, but what are some odd matches that never happened that make no sense as to why they never did. Example: I just realized that Batista and Brock never had a match on the main roster. Same with Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio. Any other in AEW or WWE that come to mind?

I randomly looked it up and realized the timelines are almost identical.

The Confederacy existed from February 1861 until May 1865, which is about 4 years and 3 months.
The Judgment Day debuted at WrestleMania 38 in April 2022, and as of now they’ve also been around for roughly 4 years and 3 months.

It’s just funny to think that in the amount of time the Confederacy formed, fought an entire civil war, and collapsed, we’ve had Edge create Judgment Day, get kicked out of Judgment Day, Damian Priest become world champion, Rhea Ripley become arguably the biggest star in the company, Dominik Mysterio go from getting booed out of buildings to one of the most entertaining heels in wrestling, Liv Morgan join, and about a hundred betrayals.

Completely useless fact, but it really put into perspective how long this faction has been around.
Edit: I actually posted this before, but it got removed because it didn’t meet the sub’s minimum character requirement. Reposting with a little more context because I still thought it was a fun bit of trivia.
