Wrestling Observer Live: Creative changes in WWE
On a Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live, I talk about the latest news from a loaded week in professional wrestling.
WWE made a decision not to bring back CM Punk at this time, and I talk about why they made that decision and how it would have affected current storylines and possibly backstage morale.
It was also reported this week that Paul “Triple H” Levesque is fully in charge of WWE creative going forward and that Vince McMahon is not currently part of the process. I talk about how this has improved the shows on a weekly basis and the effect on long-term stories.
Also, I give my review of WWE SmackDown which saw a lot of story development including the return of Roman Reigns and the debut of new general manager Nick Aldis.
Plus, I talk AEW Collision, the possibility of a December AEW pay-per-views, and MJF’s latest feuds.

Wrestling Observer Live: WWE Fastlane, Adam Copeland, CM Punk return?
I am back with another episode of Wrestling Observer Live, talking about the latest in professional wrestling.
This week, I discuss the AEW debut of Adam Copeland at last weekend’s WrestleDream and the pending rumor that CM Punk is reportedly negotiating with WWE for a return.
Saturday night, WWE had Fastlane and I run down the card and the best matches. Notably, Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso won the WWE Tag Team titles from the Judgment Day and we saw an excellent Last Man Standing match where Shinsuke Nakamura looked to be back to form against Seth Rollins.
Also, AEW Collision saw a random title change as FTR dropped the Tag Team titles to Big Bill and Ricky Starks. Was this the plan or did something change?
Plus, the Tuesday Night Wars are back as NXT stacked this week’s show to go head-to-head with AEW Dynamite, which is airing on Tuesday due to the baseball playoffs.
