Just out of curiosity have you checked your phone bill? They could have been just tacking on the service on your phone bill every month.

It's my internet bill but yeah I monitored it hard when it was supposed to end and it's the same lol also their website still says it's free when I log in

Depends on if they'd be free with Max or an extra charge on top of your subscription like UFC does with ESPN+
at this point I think most ppl would be happy because from what Ive heard and read , BR Live is absolute garbage. Also, It would be rad if they brought down the US prices if its extra. 20 seems reasonable

I've heard they were doing a split but not with women specifically bc they don't think there's enough star power but I think thats a self-fulfilling prophecy bc the solution to that is have more women on TV (especially ones I think can be stars) not have the same ones on both shows beating them (I'm talking about Willow if you can't tell)
AEW and ROH combined have more than enough talent.

Separate Britt/Hayter from the Outcasts after this feud for one.

New show on Saturday 8-10. Miro, Andrade, Hobbs, Samoa Joe headliners. Logo looks like early Monday Nitro logo.

VERY good point by Zarian I think @Chris will enjoy:

TNT does NOT crack the top 50 saturdays ever. So adding a AEW show...is a massive win for them pretty much no matter what
I had a feeling this was a major decider in giving them a new show and Rampage was probably considering too late to turn around with a slot change.

Confirmed live every week too which i expected but some were speculating they might go the classic Raw route of live one week and taped the next and tape two shows per Saturday
I’m glad AEW has mostly avoided taped shows for dynamite and now collision. I get why Rampage does, but live makes a huge difference.

yeah Rampage is a b/c show and with the death of dark elevation , I imagine it will stay that way for good now. It was a good decision to do new branding, expanding rampage to 2 hours with the perception it already has is not a good idea business wise

Yeah i think the new schedule with Rampage as a taped C show in its current slot is going to work really well. Just depends on how well the 2 hours are booked

yeah I think this is gonna be good long term for Rampage and it can focus on shit like Hardys vs Firm which tbh is perfect for an optional 3rd show
