About this episode
Andrew Yang tweets notwithstanding, does WWE really have the rights to its talent legal names? Vince McMahon is reportedly threatening to punish talent unless they stop using third-party monetized platforms like Cameo and Twitch. What's motivating this move? Brandon Thurston explains. Then, will NXT move away from its head-to-head competition with AEW Dynamite on Wednesdays? Does USA Network really want to compete with AEW as much as WWE does? All that and more. Plus, a theory on how some wrestling booms work. Maybe star power wasn't the only major factor.
