AEW NEWS AND NOTES

Kenny Omega is now entering from the heel entrance on AEW's stage.  Don Callis will be a regular with him in AEW going forward.

Santana of The Inner Circle was missing from TV the last several weeks due to a family situation.  We wish him and his family nothing but the best.  The promotion has given him as much time off as he needs.

Darby Allin personally produced his Rorsach Test vignette on last night's edition of AEW Dynamite.

Snoop Dogg coming in for the 1/6/21 episode is in part to promote the TBS' Go Big Show variety show, in which he and Cody Rhodes will each be judges.  There's already been conspiracy theorists that have claimed the Snoop-Undertaker collaboration merchandise was pulled by WWE because of the AEW appearance, but that limited edition merch was actually only scheduled to run through 12/6, so it had already pulled removed by WWE.  After his hilarious performance on commentary for the recent Mike Tyson fight, hopefully AEW will utilize him in that manner.

The Dark Order offering Dustin Rhodes the number seven slot was a reference to his ill-fated WCW character of the same name.

Jim Ross' second autobiography Under the Black Hat: My Life in the WWE and Beyond will be released in paperback form on 3/2/21.

MJF tweeted the following:

AEW issued the following:

The Dark Order’s John Silver and Alex Reynolds bring a whole new meaning to “Unrestricted” as they talk Beaver Boys, Bloody Nips and “slops!” They shed some light on the status of Dark Order numbers, the AEW locker room, BTE filming and why John Silver might be the best kisser in all of AEW. Plus, Alex sets the record straight on his injury, eating steak with the Exalted One and competing on “Dancing With The Stars.” If you want to know if Ref Aubrey and Tony Schiavone #JoinDarkOrder, be sure to listen to the bitter (and very funny) end.

On First Match for AEW - "We're like, ‘Oh my god! This is our big shot, our big opportunity,’ and then we get there and it doesn't even say our names on the board. It says ‘local talent.’ It said, ‘90 Seconds.’ So we're like, ‘Ok, I guess this is a one and done,’ but then Matt Jackson came up to us after: ‘I've got an idea. Maybe you just kind of come back, and you're the local talent everywhere, and you just always lose.’"

The Exalted One - "The first person we heard of being The Exalted One was Matt Hardy, which we thought was awesome! Broken Matt! We're like, ‘Oh this is gonna be like doing stuff at the Hardy Compound. This is gonna be awesome!’"
