Welcome everyone to episode 291 of Perched On The Top Rope! Tonight, we ask, "Should AEW fans be worried about the decline in ratings?"

In this episode, we discuss the recent ratings of AEW Dynamite (without MAX) and AEW Collision and reveal the recent numbers which include the lowest rated AEW Dynamite show on September 3rd and Collision bouncing back from a low 195,000 viewers!

We give three reasons AEW fans should be concerned, and three reasons why they shouldn't be concerned about the continuous ratings drops of AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision.

Welcome everyone to Perched On The Top Rope Episode 290, AJ Lee Returning More Than A One-Off? Brock Lesnar and Wrestlepalooza? John Cena Paying Tribute!

AJ Lee Return

CM Punk fell short of winning the WWE title at Clash In Paris thanks to Seth Rollins pesky wife, Becky Lynch getting involved and costing CM Punk the match. On Raw this past week, Becky Lynch layed hands on CM Punk. With SmackDown being in Chicago this week it sure feels like a AJ Lee return is on the way!

Rumors are this won't be a one off either!

Brock Lesnar and Wrestlepalooza

John Cena being on his retirement tour has a Beast Incarnate to worry about who attacked him back at Summer Slam. However, we haven't seen Lesnar since Summer Slam and John Cena only has eight dates left and Cena is only one win away from his 100th PLE win and what a better way than to beat The Beast on ESPN's first PLE!

John Cena Paying Tribute

If you noticed Cena using others moves during his match at Clash In Paris, your eyes weren't playing tricks on you. Oh no, as a matter a fact, you can expect to see Cena doing more of it as he's paying tribute to those he won't be able to wrestle on his retirement tour.

In this episode, we discuss what happened over the weekend at Knokx Pro Wrestling event where indy-wrestler and MMA fighter, AJ Mana brought his friend Raja Jackson (son of MMA Legend Rampage Jackson) to a wrestling show he was on that is owned by WWE Hall Of Famer, Rikishi. Unfortunately, things ended rather badly for pro-wrestler Syko Stu (a real life Military Veteran).

Our host, Lee Walker does a breakdown of each video in order and gives play-byplay take what he was seen and heard on the videos. The former dirt sheet writer also reads comments from WWE Hall Of Famers RVD and Mark Henry and shares how Chael Sonnen tried to manipulate and gaslight wrestling and mma fans with his take on the incident that occurred.

Bret Hart is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be! The WWE Hall of Famer has been criticized over the years for his complaining, so we ask you this, Is Bret Hart bitter or is Bret Hart right?

In this episode we dive deep starting from July 2nd, 1957 when Bret Sergeant Hart was born and talk his early career, things seem great in the beginning, but as Bret Hart rose to the top of the WWF, someone else had there eyes on his prize and we see the end of a friendship with the biggest star of them all, Hulk Hogan. Listen and here what caused the end of this friendship.

As his career in the WWF skyrocketed, so didn't Hart's pay... signed to an unusual deal... Vince McMahon, owner of the WWF suggests Bret looks at WCW. Hart still the WWF Champion, gets a royal screw job in Montreal as we know as The Montreal Screw Job!

While signed to WCW, Owen Hart, Bret's brother would pass on May 23rd, 1999. In that same year in December, Goldberg would deliver the, "kick heard around the world." By January 2000, Bret Hart wrestles his last match against Kevin Nash after learning about Post Concussion Syndrome.

Towards the end of his career, Bret Hart was dealt some crummy blows that weren't fair to him and a lot he missed out on in his career. Twenty-six years later, Bret Hart still takes shots at Goldberg for ending his career, Eric Bischoff for not using him right in WCW, Hulk Hogan for never putting him over and holding him back in WCW, The Kliq and many others. Is Bret Hart bitter, or is Bret Hart right?

On Wednesday, WWE announced that their PLE's will stream exclusively on ESPN in 2026 in The United States. On August 21st, ESPN is launching a new app called ESPN Direct- To-Consumer. It will feature everything ESPN has to offer from channels and services and WWE PLE's will be streaming on this app.

There became a lot of confusion quickly, esp. as it was announced that this new app will cost $29.99 a month. Currently, WWE PLE's are on Peacock app until the end of 2025. Peacock's cheapest version of the app is $7.99. ESPN DTC is three times more then Peacock and fans got upset that they will have to pay such an increase.

The $29.99 will only be for NEW ESPN users. We broke down how much a year new users to ESPN will have to pay to watch WWE Raw and PLE's through Netflix and ESPN DTC. We have comments from TKO COO Mark Shapiro, WWE COO Triple H and more.

Less than 24 hours after the WWE-ESPN announcement, Peacock announced that it is increases their prices for their app.

TKO Owns UFC and WWE. UFC is on ESPN+ for PPV's. With UFC you have to pay for the app and pay an additional $70 to watch the UFC PPV, so our question to you the fans, how long do you think until WWE starts doing the same thing?

In 2022, Global Brand Ambassador, Titus O'Neil opened up WWE Raw promising WWE was a safe haven from such topics as politics, religion that WWE would stay away from, but does WWE still feel like a safe haven in 2025?

A lot happened in 2024

• Vince McMahon stepping away from his role in WWE due to the Janel Grant Case.
• Brock Lesnar gets named in Janel Grant case
• Nikki Bella involved in a domestic dispute with her husband
• Odyssey Jones ex alleges DV, gets let go by WWE

So far in 2025

• Brock Lesnar returns to WWE (still named in Janel Grant case)
• Nikki Bella returns (charges against husband dropped due to insufficient evidence)
• Odyssey Jones cleared of wrong doing, not returning... why?
• RFK Jr's Niece Zoe Hines gets a WWE tryout, I wonder why?
• WWE shows and talks about Triple H and President Trump (those ties with Linda McMahon are paying off for Hunter now)

Does WWE feel like a safe haven? Or is it's Republican showing?

Is Fanatics Fan Fest Refund Policy Fair? Well, to be fair, this is about the company they partner with for the event called Leap. Leap does a lot of various Comic-Con and pop culture events such as New York City Comic-Con.

In E280, I share my personal story of going to Fanatics Fan Fest NYC, and NOT getting to get my CM Punk autograph I had purchased. I discuss the refund policy and ask, is it fair?

Did WWE purposely run shows around AEW All In Texas so they could control the narrative on social media?

Ron Killings aka R-Truth says him being let go and returning was not a work!

So, was it work?

1. Ron Killings claimed it wasn’t a work

2. Ron Killings son claims it wasn’t a work

3. Chris Van Vliet doesn’t think it’s it’s a work after hearing Triple H on it at the media scrum

4. Sean Ross Sapp claims it wasn’t a work.

Did WWE work its own roster? So many from WWE and other wrestling companies were legit upset and tweeted about it. Was everyone worked?

5. Ron Killings announcement being let go that tweet received over 22 million views.

WWE 100% took notice of that number!

6. After R-Truth announced not returning, two other superstars announced they weren’t coming back.

WWE never announced these stars were done but Carlito and Valhalla are 100% gone. Carlito is doing a signing with our favorites K & S WrestleFest! Do you think WWE would stoop that low to let two go but storyline one of the three?

7. PWI claimed Ron’s new deal happened within the last 72 hours!

So, was it a work?

A former fan favorite WWE wrestler Duke The Dumpster Droese from the 1990s has been indicted in Tennessee for attempted aggravated sexual exploitation of children.

Michael Droese, better known to wrestling fans as Duke “The Dumpster” Droese, was indicted by a Warren County grand jury in May, according to a release from District Attorney General Chris Stanford, 31st Judicial District.

It was alleged that Droese used a Coinbase account in an attempt to purchase child sex abuse images on the dark web, the release reads. Coinbase, however, recognized what the transaction was and declined the payment. The company then sent a tip to the FBI.

We have also included our 2018 interview with Duke as we talk about his arrest.
