SRS here, normally I wouldn't post a plug for today's show in this manner, but I feel like this one is important after the issues many subscribers raised about Jimmy's tweet Sunday. He and I will be discussing that, and much more on today's show at this link. We will also talk about Hurt Syndicate and AEW
On the paid tier, we have a lengthy update on the WWE-ESPN deal. We also released two Q&A live shows this past weekend, and have another that dropped Tuesday.
WWE Unreal on Netflix cameras were backstage at Summerslam night 1 for Seth Rollins' cash in.
As we'd reported this weekend, Street Fighter is set to film in September. We're told Cody Rhodes won't be required on set for an extended period of time. Filming will take place in Australia and will be an "open set," so there will be plenty of media emerging from it.
Fightful's Kate spoke with Thekla, CRU, Chris Bey, AJ Francis, Leyla and others at WrestleCon this past week. You'll see many of those on our video platforms soon. They'll be up early for tier 2 subscribers.
The WWE PLEs, and most all other WWE content will remain on Netflix internationally in 2026. You can use NordVPN.com/Fightful, change your virtual location and get access to all of that content now, or next year when things change. You won't need a different or special Netflix account.

Kyle Fletcher (Interview available early for tier 2 subscribers)

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful spoke with Kyle Fletcher during media day of All In Texas weekend.

We spoke about the free agency process for Fletcher and his tag team partner Mark Davis. He said that it was very flattering and nice to have interest from every major company, but is happy he landed on AEW. He said that the fact that Tony Khan paid for Mark Davis’ surgery when Mark Davis didn’t even work for AEW spoke volumes about things.

He also spoke about his high pain threshold, and admitted he was terrified of the Spanish Fly from the top of the cage with Ospreay. He was also dreading the Styles Clash into the thumbtacks and was worried about getting one in his WIENER.

He said that he feels like everything is coming together for him as a performer. He’s been wrestling since he was 14, and said that experience early greatly helped him. He said it's a hard business to come up in.

Toni Storm

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful spoke with Toni Storm during media day of All In Texas weekend. See the full interview at this link. We were behind on posting notes from the interview.

The two spoke about her match with Mercedes Mone, with Toni saying that she respected Mercedes’

They also discussed what a Toni Storm shoe deal would look like considering her history with them, and AEW’s connection with Reebok. She said hers would be a different kind of pump.

Her favorite “bad” movie is The Master of Disguise with Dana Carvey, and said it’s an all-time comfort film that she grew up on.
