New column for @wrestlingobserver.bsky.social is live.

I have hated how the AEW World title has been stowed away since last October.

Here's hoping the belt sees sunlight once again at #AEWAllInTexas.

Column: Before they retire, can Goldberg & John Cena take care of one last thing? Josh Nason wants to see Goldberg and John Cena go head-to-head for the first time before they retire…and he wants it this Saturday.

New column for @wrestlingobserver.bsky.social:

I don't ask for much in life, but I do want to see John Cena and Goldberg have a confrontation on Saturday Night's Main Event. I just need to.

Here's why:

I thought a lot about the Punk/Saudi situation over the last few weeks and wasn't going to write anything...until Friday's NOC kickoff show.

Like it or not, here's what I thought.

One more thing: why have a "$100,000" four-way match including a champion when the champion doesn't even win the match, isn't involved in the finish, nor does it set up any type of future title match?

AEW Collision felt so inconsequential tonight as did Dynamite. Not what I was hoping for post-Worlds End, but it feels like the second week after PPVs is when things actually, I dunno, happen.
