Hello there, my very good friends. On today's wrestling news, it's the end of an era for

0:04.1

WW fans. A former champion in AWRRITRs. An ex-W star claims they felt held back in the

0:10.5

company. And Cody Rhodes says his history is behind a wall. I wonder what he's talking

0:15.2

about there. I'm Andy. I'm Phil. And this is the news. Right. Let's talk about big deals, big moves, big stuff happening in WW. Yeah, do you like money? Like WWU. Yeah, they do. Yeah, they do. Because they're rich as balls, as the saying goes. Triple H, Nick Cann, Endeavour, TKO, all these big wigs. They're cashing in. and the latest big deal that they have inked, of course, with regards to PLEs, is the ESPN deal.

0:44.3

Now this was originally reported to be starting next April, lies, it's starting in like four weeks, so it's kicking in a little bit early and a bunch of new details broke yesterday.

0:56.1

Basically, Brian Alvarez was first to this reporting that because WW ran two nights of

1:30.1

invent out of nowhere, they get to get to that big pile of money faster.

1:33.3

Exactly.

1:34.3

Greedy, greedy, but you know, that's the business.

1:36.3

Now, actually, I have to correct myself, though, they're not starting with Clash in Paris.

1:40.3

Clash in Paris is the last one, and then it starts with Russell Palooza, which they announced yesterday on the 20th of September.

1:47.7

Now, originally, this was going to be some kind of five-year deal starting next year.

1:52.1

Yeah, no, no, now it's starting earlier.

1:54.9

Now, Russell Palooza apparently is going to have Sina versus Lesner on there

1:58.5

and a bunch of other people

2:00.9

2:01.8

apparently facing Drew McIntyre
