Andrew Zarian is back from a summer break with an all-new Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live, catching up on all things professional wrestling. I start out catching up on things that happened this summer on my break, including the partnership between ESPN and WWE to carry all the PLEs. Why are they doing it, will it work, and how will it be perceived on a sports-centric network? The big story of the week happened on Friday Night SmackDown with the return of AJ Lee to confront Becky Lynch after she again attacked CM Punk in a well-done segment. I discuss the differences between when she left and the current landscape of women's wrestling, which she's now entering. I also discuss this week's AEW Collision, including FTR's presentation as 1980's throwback heels, and the nostalgic presentation in the 2300 arena. But does it resonate with a larger viewing audience? Plus, HBO Max is carrying AEW PPVs, Bryan Danielson is now on the AEW announce team, a Dynamite preview, and MJF gets married.
