Matt Hardy Cautions Young Wrestlers Of Burning Bridges With Other Promotions On Social Media
During his The Extreme Life With Matt Hardy podcast, he emphasized that wrestlers should focus on their own work and keep a positive attitude, rather than criticizing other promotions publicly. 'One thing I would say is learn how to not be overly opinionated when you're talking about other promotions. Learn how to shut the hell up and just worry about what you're doing, speak positively, and stop talking negatively about other places.'

The TNA star warned the young wrestlers that being overly opinionated could hurt future opportunities, especially if a wrestler ends up released. 'Because if you do get to that point where you do get released and you're gone, then you've kind of screwed yourself up from going somewhere else. Pro wrestling is a small world in the big scheme of things… don't burn bridges before you have an opportunity to go somewhere else just in case.'
He also encouraged wrestlers to be smart about their use of social media instead of engaging in online negativity. 'If you're a wrestler, if you're a performer, be better than that, be smarter than that, and learn how to just talk about the things that are positive, the things that you like, and let your grievances go. The best thing you can possibly do is if there's something you don't like, just shut the hell up about it.' [H/T: wrestlingnews.co]

Matt Hardy says he doesn't understand what The Death Riders are trying to accomplish in AEW
Jon Moxley, the current AEW World Champion, leads the Death Riders. The group includes Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, and Marina Shafir. They came together at AEW All Out after turning on Bryan Danielson. Many fans are still unsure about their purpose and what they want to achieve in AEW, which Matt Hardy also agrees with.

Speaking on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, Hardy spoke about the main event of AEW Dynasty and reiterated his comments from last week's show, where he believes the Death Riders faction has run its course. 'As I'd said last week before we ever got to the pay-per-view event… I feel it's one of those times where, you know, the Death Riders thing, it has pretty much run its course,' Matt Hardy said.
'I love Jon Moxley [and] I think in many ways, Jon Moxley is the heart and soul of AEW; I think he busts his ass for AEW. 'He takes these crazy risks and he puts it on the line for AEW week in and week out, no doubt, but I think it is time to go a different direction and try and start something new that could possibly catch fire. AEW really, really, really needs something to get hot and catch fire to kind of get their momentum back, I think so. I don't necessarily understand their whole mission at AEW, what are they trying to accomplish?'

AEW CEO Tony Khan explains how he's balancing streaming, cable TV, and social media to lure new wrestling fans
The pay-TV bundle is dying a long, slow death, and streaming is the prime suspect. Media analysts sometimes blame content providers for cannibalizing the cable bundle and accelerating its collapse by building streaming services that give consumers direct access to once-exclusive content. But for All Elite Wrestling, this hasn't been the case. AEW started simulcasting on HBO Max in January, just as rival WWE's "Raw" event on Monday nights moved exclusively to Netflix. The move has corresponded with a rebound in AEW's cable ratings in that span from their lows late last year. Through the second quarter, AEW's audience on traditional TV has grown 25% for "Collision" on TNT on Saturdays and 6.5% for "Dynamite" on TBS on Wednesdays, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, according to Nielsen data. And those figures don't include viewership on HBO Max, which isn't public. Notably, AEW's cable viewership rose even more this year in the 25- to 54-year-old cohort that advertisers love, even as a streaming alternative emerged. All of this growth came as pay TV continued to wither, which affected sports leagues like the NHL and NBA. That has AEW founder and CEO Tony Khan especially fired up. "We've been picking up traction in these key demos," Khan told Business Insider. Still, he said that among 18- to 24-year-olds, "a lot of the growth is on streaming." While ratings are trending higher, AEW is still clawing its way back out of a slump. Viewership for "Collision" and "Dynamite" was down 9% and 12%, respectively, year over year. AEW has been locked in a battle with the category's behemoth, WWE, which previously poached two of its biggest stars: Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. Khan, a lifelong wrestling fan, spoke with BI about how streaming has jump-started AEW's growth and why he's not sweating the uncertainty surrounding the spinoff at Warner Bros. Discovery — his most valuable business partner. AEW everywhere, all at once In this cutthroat, crowded media landscape, Khan's game plan is for AEW to be everywhere — from in-person events, to traditional TV, to streaming, to social media, to YouTube. But from a monetization standpoint, not all platforms are equally valuable. AEW's most lucrative businesses are in-person events and pay-per-view events, where it's paid directly, though Khan said its backbone is its $185 million media deal with WBD across TBS, TNT, and HBO Max. "The lifeblood of AEW, really, is the partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery," Khan said. Social media and YouTube serve a different role: generating buzz and bringing in new viewers. AEW has to be where its fans are, though there's a risk that showing highlights for free will train audiences to follow the action in short form, instead of watching full matches on TV or in person. However, Khan thinks highlights on TikTok and YouTube drive higher demand for TV and events instead of eroding it — similar to how streaming matches coincided with a cable ratings bump. "People want to watch the full event in its entirety, but also consume highlights on digital," Khan said. "I think we found a great balance in that, and also offering access to a lot of the great classic matches in the AEW library to the fans has helped us drive a lot of viewership, as well." AEW must thread the needle between maximizing reach and ensuring that live matches and pay-per-view events "feel special," as Khan put it. That means giving enough to lure casual fans and newcomers to TBS, TNT, and HBO Max, without giving so much that they don't watch live. AEW streams pre- and post-shows live on YouTube for big matches. But some of AEW's rivals are going a step further by experimenting with livestreaming marquee events on YouTube, for free. WWE streamed its "Worlds Collide" event live on the platform in early June, and the NFL is hosting a regular-season game live on YouTube in September. As of now, Khan isn't following suit. The AEW CEO said he's firmly committed to TBS, TNT, and HBO Max, no matter what's happening at their parent company. Not splitting hairs WBD announced a long-awaited spinoff last month that will pull HBO Max away from TBS and TNT. Khan said the split shouldn't affect AEW, which reached a media deal with WBD last fall. "We have a great partnership with both sides," Khan said, adding that AEW is "very well entrenched" across the forthcoming Streaming & Studios and Global Networks companies. WBD's media rights deal with AEW is unaffected by the split, so HBO Max will continue to stream matches that air live on TBS and TNT. Regardless, a top media analyst thinks sports leagues like AEW should brainstorm alternatives for their next deals in light of the spinoff. "Without a broadcast network or a streaming platform (we are not counting Discovery+), it is hard to imagine sports leagues being excited to work with GLN [Global Linear Networks] going forward, unless they have no choice," Lightshed's Rich Greenfield wrote in a mid-June note. AEW has seen firsthand how HBO Max can effectively complement TBS and TNT. Once they belong to separate companies, that symbiosis could disappear. And while AEW could theoretically re-up with TNT Sports and find a separate streaming deal, Greenfield questioned that logic. "GLN could license its sports streaming rights to third-parties (assuming contracts allow it)" Greenfield wrote. "But then why would a sports rights holder not just choose a vertically-integrated platform to begin with?" Other analysts are less bearish, including Robert Fishman of MoffettNathanson. He wrote last month that "sports remains a key pillar to support affiliate fee stability in the years ahead" for the Global Networks business that will house TBS and TNT. Instead of wondering what the future holds for WBD's assets, Khan is focused on the present. The 100th episode of "Collision" airs Saturday night, and viewers can tune in on TNT — or Max.

WWE Veteran Teases Crossover Title Match With TNA Wrestling Champion
WWE Veteran Teases Crossover Title Match With TNA Wrestling Champion originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One longtime WWE veteran is teasing a potential high-stakes match for TNA Wrestling's "Slammiversary 2025" event. Advertisement TNA's biggest show of the summer is set to emanate from UBS Arena on July 20. Athlon Sports will be on the scene for the event, which will feature a triple threat match for the TNA World Championship involving titleholder Trick Williams, Joe Hendry, and Mike Santana. As far as the women's world title match is concerned, WWE might just have a presence in those plans as well. Former two-time world champion Natalya has been stoking the flames of a potential showdown with current TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich. Slamovich responded to a post on X from Natalya, who called out a slew of names who work for WWE and other promotions. Slamovich's name was on that list, and TNA's top female titleholder told Natalya that she will be waiting. Advertisement Natalya fired back at Slamovich, saying she will "beat your ass anytime, any rules, anywhere that will sanction it." Cory Hays of quote tweeted Natalya's response and hinted at a matchup between the two taking place at "Slammiversary." The idea isn't far-fetched, given WWE's strong relationship with TNA Wrestling. Slamovich is currently involved in a storyline with her former tag team partner Killer Kelly, but that feud is expected to culminate on Thursday's episode of "TNA iMPACT!" Slamovich will put her TNA Knockouts World Championship on the line against Kelly in a chain match, which is an homage to their previous gimmick as a tag team.

Major Update on Absent AEW Star Ahead of 'All In Texas'
Major Update on Absent AEW Star Ahead of 'All In Texas' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. A top AEW name who has been absent for several months might surface by "All In Texas." AEW's biggest pay-per-view event of the year is scheduled for July 12. The company has been building up several storylines leading up to the show, and there are expected to be some surprises. Could one of those surprises be the return of one of AEW's "Four Pillars?" Advertisement Fightful reports that Darby Allin is believed to be returning "imminently." Some backstage went as far as to say they'd be "shocked" if Allin isn't involved in the "All In Texas" show in some form. The report noted that AEW initially hoped Allin would be ready by the Owen Hart Cup, but that didn't happen. Allin spent several months on the shelf recovering from a foot injury before he climbed Mount Everest. The report mentioned that Allin walked away from the climb "relatively unscathed," and he's in good enough shape to return to the ring at any time. While fans have speculated that Allin will be involved in a run-in during the "All In Texas" main event between Jon Moxley and "Hangman" Adam Page, no creative plans have been revealed. Allin does have history with the Death Riders. During the "AEW Full Gear" event, Allin drove his car into the faction's getaway vehicle. The Death Riders are expected to assist Moxley in some way during his title defense against Page. Perhaps Allin will even the odds along with other members of the AEW locker room who have been targeted by the group.
