Yesterday’s news coverage attack The US Capitol building could make up the majority of wrestling fans who chose to see something other than AEW or NXT last night.

Earlier that day, President Trump uncovered a conspiracy theory denying that he was clearly defeated by Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, angering an angry mob with constant lies. He instructed these people to march on the Capitol building to prevent Congress from recognizing Joe Biden as the next president of the United States. The mob broke through the building, plundered it in violent and disturbing scenes, and killed several people. Instead of blaming the riots he caused, Trump chose to praise the mob by saying, “We love you.”

For myself, I wasn’t interested in seeing AEW last night. Because I just wanted to know what was happening in Washington, DC. dynamite It wasn’t part of my job. There was no way to watch the show last night live, as much more important things were happening.
