Even amid a pandemic, the wrestling industry rarely sleeps. That is especially true as the calendar hits March and April, two months that help define the product for the whole year.
As we close the book on AEW’s Revolution and approach WWE’s WrestleMania 38, here is information from across the industry set to make headlines.
- Last weekend’s WWE show at Madison Square Garden saw Brock Lesnar annihilate Austin Theory in a 97-second beatdown.
Roman Reigns then delivered a beating on Lesnar. WWE’s YouTube clip of the moment blew up and currently has just under five million views. Part of this can be attributed to the appeal of watching an untelevised live event, but it also supports the belief that Reigns is the single biggest draw in the industry.
That MSG spot was also perfect placement for Theory. He has the story line with Vince McMahon, a featured match at WrestleMania 38 and has a world of support internally from the top decision-makers. A year from now, the plan is for him to be one of the company’s top stars, and this is all part of his journey.
