About this episode

Is AEW setting up Swerve Strickland with Kofi and Austin Creed—and if so, is that really the biggest way to debut them? Battle and Eli debate whether the former New Day duo should jump straight into the trios picture or enter AEW as a major tag-team attraction. Then the guys break down why Penta looks like the clear choice to challenge Roman Reigns in Mexico City, what Los Perros del Mal adds to the story and whether Chelsea Green should keep the Interim WWE Women’s Championship through her 30-day injury deadline.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
