AEW might have a new sheriff in town, and with AEW Double or Nothing happening in NY, it could happen very soon.

Mick Foley, the WWE Hall of Famer is rumored to land with AEW in some sort of role heading into Double or Nothing next Sunday night. Mick Foley has talked about one more match but at 60 years that is looking less likely. What type of role could Mick Foley provided AEW, and could it lead him to being an on air authority figure to give AEW a brand new dynamic?

Also, amongst the Fallout from WWE Backlash was John Cena's major announcement, and NO, it didn't shake the foundation of WWE. John Cena announced The "John Cena Classic"...a brand new event, and brand new title that will give power to the fans to vote on who makes it to the end. Will it be a tournament? How much power will the fans REALLY have, and is all of this necessary?

Vince McMahon's attorney defends him deleting texts messages that could have been used as evidence against him, while Nick Khan testifies in court about what he knew of Vince McMahon's "escapades"...Kevin Nash goes to bat BIG TIME for his buddy Triple H, blast TKO for getting involved in his creative. Major updates on The New Day after leaving WWE, and Asuka after she had what could be her final match in WWE at Backlash. Dark Side of the Ring returns with a brand new season, London isn't getting WrestleMania right now but Ireland is throwing it's name into the ring to bid on a future WrestleMania.

All this, and all of your weekly pro wrestling news with @JDfromNY and @TheSolomonster on Tuesday Night Titans.

On this week’s episode of The Two Count, we break down one of the strangest and most talked-about weeks across WWE and AEW, including controversial booking decisions, major character changes, and the latest fallout from WWE Backlash.

We start with the bizarre new direction in AEW, as Darby Allin agrees to give MJF an AEW World Championship match…if MJF puts his hair on the line. Is this classic pro wrestling insanity, or is AEW leaning too hard into shock-value storytelling?

We also discuss the surreal presentation of AEW Collision taking place on a golf course, and whether AEW is experimenting creatively or completely losing its identity.

Over in WWE, we react to one of the most absurd segments of the year: the funeral of The Gingerbread Man on SmackDown. Was this harmless entertainment, or another example of WWE’s creative identity crisis?

We also break down the overwhelmingly positive fan reaction to WWE Backlash, where the show featured noticeably fewer commercials and a stronger emphasis on actual wrestling. Did Backlash expose a major problem with WWE’s current production style?

Plus, we discuss Danhausen appearing on a Premium Live Event, and whether his act truly belongs on WWE’s biggest stages.

We also examine John Cena introducing “The John Cena Classic,” where fans will reportedly vote on match outcomes. Is this an innovative way to engage audiences or a dangerous step toward turning WWE into a popularity contest?

On the business side, Kevin Nash unloads on TKO, publicly telling executives to let Triple H “run the creative.” Is there growing frustration behind the scenes with WWE’s corporate direction?

We also revisit Oba Femi’s open challenge, which many fans already feel has become repetitive and underwhelming after only two weeks.

In addition, we discuss the growing speculation surrounding Asuka’s WWE future, with fans questioning whether she is semi-retired or potentially another casualty of WWE’s reported cost-cutting measures under TKO.

Finally, we break down the evolution of Jacob Fatu, who has embraced a more vicious, Umaga-inspired “Samoan Bulldozer” persona while still receiving major babyface reactions from fans.

To close the show in The Kickout, we ask the big question:

Is WWE intentionally protecting Roman Reigns by booking Jacob Fatu like a heel while fans continue cheering him as a babyface?

Well, Jacob Fatu DID NOT acknowledge Roman Reigns. Instead, in typical Bloodline fashion, he ended WWE Raw the same way we see every week.

Roman Reigns retained the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu in the Main Event of WWE Backlash on Saturday Night but what came after the match was a Jacob Fatu that we haven't seen. More savage, and on a totally different level, and it was more of the same tonight, with Jacob Fatu destroying his entire family.

Also, the Oba Femi Open Challenge continues, and WWE has already given up on the concept with absolutely ZERO effort creatively.

#WWERaw #WWE #RomanReigns #JacobFatu #WWEBacklash

It's the Post-Wrestlemania tradition, WWE Backlash, and Triple H is deliver yet another underwhelming 5 match PLE, that does not feel PREMIUM.

For the first time in more than two years, Reigns claimed a championship when he defeated CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Title in the main event of WrestleMania, and now will face his cousin Jacob Fatu, for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Also, After both Superstars suffered injuries, Bron suddenly reemerged at WrestleMania 42 to Spear Rollins and cause him to lose to Gunther at WrestleMania. Now, both collide in a heated one on one match. Can Seth Rollins destroy his Vision, or will Bron Breakker destroy Seth Rollins?

IYO SKY goes one on one with Asuka. Trick WIlliams defends the WWE United States Championship against Sami Zayn, and Danhausen has a mystery partner in a tag team match against The Miz & Kit Wilson. Plus John Cena supposedly has a major announcement that will shake the foundation of WWE forever. Sure, John...sure.

The "Gingerbread Man' has left us, and tonight, Sami Zayn pays respects to him, as we all attend his funeral. Yes, this is REALLY a thing on Friday night.

Sami Zayn continues his feud with Trick Williams over the WWE United States Championship heading into WWE Backlash with this ridiculous angle, one in which reportedly saw "significant" push back from creative. What does the funeral of the "Gingerbread Man" have in store for us.

Also, After a unleashing a surprise attack on Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes last week, Gunther will address the WWE Universe on why he is now targeting Cody Rhodes, and the WWE Championship. On Monday, Jacob Fatu took out World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns for the second week in a row, smashing him through a table with the Tongan Death Grip. Tonight, Fatu addresses Roman Reigns one last time. What else does Fatu have to say before Backlash on Saturday?

Another week, and another AEW World Championship match given away by Darby Allin, this time to Kevin Knight.

After beating MJF last week, Kevin Knight was granted an AEW World Championship Title match by Darby Allin, with MJF complaining he has been cheated, and robbed. Darby Allin eventually told MJF he would only give him another shot at the AEW World Title at Double or Nothing if he puts something of HIS on the line. What could that possibly be?

Also, Juice Robinson earned an AEW Continental Championship match against Jon Moxley by helping his team defeat the Death Riders and The Dogs on last week’s Collision. Robinson and Moxley have a history spanning NJPW and AEW, with Robinson holding only one previous singles victory over Moxley.

And, FTR and Tommaso Ciampa’s issues with The Conglomeration will also come to a head tonight, with Orange Cassidy and Dax Harwood meeting in a Double Jeopardy match.

The New Day weren't the only ones who were offer 50% pay-cuts, as it seems like the corporate greed from TKO is getting much more than anyone could have imagined.

The New Day walk out of WWE, and were given their release after 13 years together, as the company cut their pay, and offered them restructured contract with a 50% pay-cut. They aren't the only ones, as new reports have since emerged that after the latest round of budget cuts, several talents were offer pay-cuts as TKO is looking to relieve some of their massive debt. @JDfromNY and @TheSolomonster breakdown how this is so much worse than it really is, how loyalty will get you nowhere, how talent now will approach contract negotiations with WWE, and how WWE is making AEW much more of a viable competitor.

Also, WWE presents Backlash from Tampa, Florida this Saturday, and we have a full preview, and predictions, with the biggest stories coming out of this week's WWE Raw, and Friday Night SmackDown. Nick Khan heavily teased a WrestleMania announcement for 2028. Roman Reigns will be missing all of June, and will not be appearing at Night of Champions. Oba Femi begins his "Open Challenge" this week, and major AEW TV Rights news that broke from a major WWE Talent Agent, with several prominent journalists in the community trying to bury the contents.
