Wrestling Observer Live: AEW Collision’s new look & The Bloodline’s dominance continues
I am back from vacation with the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Live, discussing all the latest in wrestling.
On Friday’s WWE SmackDown, the storyline continued with The Bloodline 2.0 leading up to Solo Sikoa’s match with Undisputed Universal Champion Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. I analyze the direction of the story and speculate when Roman Reigns will re-enter the program.
I also discuss this week’s AEW Dynamite featuring the near-one hour match between Will Ospreay and MJF. The discourse surrounding this match was polarizing with as much praise as it received, many couldn’t comprehend an hour-long TV match. However, I argue why a different format can be beneficial.
Additionally, I provide a breakdown of AEW Collision including Skye Blue’s injury and The Patriarchy becoming new Trios champs. I also discuss the new residency location in Arlington, Texas, and how it looked on television.
Plus, we talk TNA Slammiversary, Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport featuring more WWE talent, and all kinds of other stuff.

WOL: Stephanie Vaquer & Willow Nightingale’s big Saturday night
On a brand-new Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live, yours truly steps into the solo host chair for the very first time as Andrew Zarian is off on vacation assignment.
As always, there is plenty to talk about:
- A week after she was still with CMLL and preparing for Fantastica Mania, Stephanie Vaquer is now under WWE contract and made her promotional debut for the company on Saturday in Mexico City. I talk about some of the online chatter about her move and how WWE may have turned the corner with how they introduce new top talents.
- With Vaquer’s departure came a new opportunity for Willow Nightingale who competed for and won the vacant CMLL Women’s title. Should AEW have gone with Nightingale earlier in her tenure? Let’s talk about that.
- I share with you perhaps the craziest comment I have heard in pro wrestling and why I still can’t believe it was said.
- There was a bit of social media hypocrisy this week regarding the Toni Storm/Mariah May and Rhea Ripley/Liv Morgan angles, so let’s get into that.
- I am fascinated with John Cena’s upcoming retirement tour and why it’s a novel move for WWE.
All that and more on this week’s WOL~!
