Summary
On this week’s episode of The Two Count, we break down one of the most important weeks in recent memory for both AEW and WWE, including the fallout from AEW Double or Nothing 2026, major backstage developments, roster rumors, and the growing debate surrounding WWE’s current creative direction.
We start with the massive reaction to AEW Double or Nothing, with many fans calling it the greatest AEW pay-per-view ever. We discuss what made the show feel so different compared to previous AEW events, including the pacing, shorter runtime, improved match order, upgraded stage presentation, and the noticeable reduction in excessive blood and overbooked chaos.
We also discuss the growing controversy surrounding Andres Hale covering AEW for ESPN after reportedly being pulled from WWE coverage, and what it says about the evolving relationship between mainstream sports media and professional wrestling.
One of the biggest surprises of the week saw Mick Foley officially sign with AEW, leading to a face-to-face confrontation with MJF during the Double or Nothing Buy In. What does Foley bring to AEW in 2026, and is this the beginning of a larger storyline involving MJF?
We also break down the future of FTR, who are reportedly entering their option year with AEW. Should Tony Khan do everything possible to keep them, or would WWE benefit more from bringing them back?
Over in WWE, rumors continue to grow about the possible return of Enzo & Cass to help revitalize WWE’s struggling tag team division. Could this actually work in 2026, or is WWE relying too heavily on nostalgia?
We also react to another underwhelming edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, with fans criticizing the show for feeling more like a glorified house show than a premium television special.
Plus, we discuss the developing story involving Ludwig Kaiser, who was reportedly arrested following an incident in his apartment building, while WWE has reportedly decided not to take disciplinary action.
And, on the injury front, Logan Paul is reportedly dealing with a torn triceps, leading many fans to wonder whether his faction, “The Vision,” is already cursed before it can truly begin.

| 0:00.0 | Oh, what's good, everybody? Welcome in to the fastest show in all of pro wrestling. |
| 0:05.5 | Let me get my Twitter here. There we go. This is the two count. We are now moving into our third month. It's hard to believe. But indeed, we've been here for over two months. You guys have absolutely made this show an absolute killing. |
| 0:18.3 | So if you're brand new, because the numbers are going up every single week, we tackle the 10 biggest topics, according to us, in two and a half minutes, |
| 0:26.3 | then we do one big one at the end of the show. If you want to be a part of the show, you have a |
| 0:30.1 | question, a comment, you can do that through a super sticker, super chat, and we'll get to all |
| 0:35.3 | of those at the end of the show. But my partner, oh, he is polarizing. He is one of the biggest voices in all of pro wrestling. And I love chopping it up every single Tuesday with my guy. J.D. from New York. How was your weekend, sir? Coach, it was wet. It was very rainy, very wet. And it was only 60 degrees in New York, man. So let's heat things up on this Tuesday morning. Let's do it right now because we're going to start in New York City. We're going to start with AEW. We're going to start with double or nothing. And I tell you what, there was a lot of different reactions to it. And that's where we're going to start. So producer man, |
| 1:10.9 | show me the clock because double or nothing start the clock, JD. The floor is yours. |
| 1:17.8 | Double or nothing. And I hope Mr. Tony Khan is watching this morning. Double or nothing was probably |
| 1:24.2 | the best AEW pay-per-view of the entire year. Okay. Double-or-nothing was probably top five AEW pay-per-views of all time, and I've paid for every single one, watched every single one, reviewed every single one in all seven and a half years. And it was by far the best pro wrestling show of the entire year between both AEW and WWE. Now, when you're in the sick-o fan base, you're not allowed to say that. Coach, I'm not sure if you dwell on social media amongst these people, but we're not allowed to say it because we're fed guys. Of course. That's, you know, that couldn't be any farther than the truth, from the truth. We have Sunday night, so much to like about Sunday night. A, the camera work I thought was the best |
| 2:01.8 | AEW's ever done. I don't know if they've updated their cameras. They looked very sharp and |
| 2:06.7 | very crisp. The stage setup was incredible because they really kind of brought to life New York |
| 2:11.0 | City with the scaffolding on the stage and just really made it feel just very New York. |
| 2:16.2 | The crowd was incredible. I got a feel from the |
| 2:19.1 | Takeshita and Okada match. It really felt like that Brian Kenny Omega match when the first |
| 2:23.9 | time they visited Arthur Estabium at Grand Slam. That was incredible. I like the fact that |
| 2:28.8 | there was no blood. No blood absolutely enhanced the show. And I know that was part due to |
| 2:33.7 | the New York State Athletic |
| 2:34.8 | Commission, but I hope. I hope Tony Khan realizes that he doesn't need so much color on a show |
| 2:40.8 | because it just makes it feel that much more important when he uses it next time when there's |
| 2:44.6 | less of it. And the wrestling coach, I thought the wrestling was tremendous. Maybe that first |
| 2:49.2 | hour between the tag team match for the tag team titles and Okada and Takesha, probably the best one-two combination I've seen on AW pay-per-view. And MJF won the World Championship back. They fucking killed it. I was sitting at a, my daughter's big, she was in a big Southern California theater banquet. So I was getting texts from friends and texts from people. And everything was what you just said. |
| 3:08.8 | And I think and I feel, and you do a lot more AEW content than I do. But since we interviewed Tony |
