...well, shit. Almost exactly as we pressed Publish on last week's episode, the news broke that The Big Show is no longer a part of the WWE after 20-plus years on the roster. Instead, Paul Wight has made plans with AEW to join as their latest colour commentator and wrestler.
What does this mean for AEW? What prompted the move? What will Tony Khan and the boys do with Paul that the WWE couldn't? More importantly, what dream matches are now reality? We talk all of that, plus a whole lot of other silliness in this week's bonus breaking-news episode.
