- Two international WWE PLEs
- Some moving and shaking with big WWE contracts
- Lots of early AEW TV rights headlines and rumors, and WWE TV developments
- Marigold’s debut show
- The surprise NXT debut of Ethan Page…and lots more in WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA and the wrestling world.
Here’s the rest of the series:
- January: PW Torch’s Rich Fann
