Summary

Fresh off a six-month title reign and the most exciting year of his storied career, former WWE champion Kofi Kingston joins the show to discuss representation within the company, whether a heavyweight title is in Big E's future, questions about New Day's decision to sign matching five-year contracts and his group's new podcast. Adam Silverstein and Jack Crosby start the show with The Silver King defending Charlotte Flair against unfair criticism following the TLC main event before moving into NXT absolutely obliterating AEW this week. What did Wednesday night's shows tell us about the future of the two brands, and has AEW's first few months been a disappointment? The guys wrap things up by discussing a letdown edition of Raw and a potential massive spoiler for early 2020.
