The episode’s subtitle “Blood & Guts” likely is a reference to the term Vince McMahon used to describe AEW’s content at a WWE investor’s meeting held in July of last year.

Colt Cabana Signs Contract with AEW

AEW owner Tony Kahn announced at Revolution’s post-show media scrum that Colt Cabana has recently signed an official contract with the company. Kahn stated that Cabana’s deal is not exclusive and allows him the ability to work as an in-ring talent, coach, and commentator for the company.

“Colt is working here. He does a variety of things. He already started as an announcer and now he’s gonna be working as a wrestler. I could see Colt wrestling for us on a regular basis. He can chip in as a commentator and also as a coach. He’s a valuable mind. He’s signed here. He can work, at my discretion, Colt can work other places.”
