That All In footage was...embarassing. Will it kill AEW? No. But surely, most fans are not happy about it. Tony Khan keeps repeating the same WCW mistakes...

ALL IN BACKSTAGE FOOTAGE AIRS ON DYNAMITE

- AEW aired the security backstage footage from All In, showing the fight between CM Punk and Jack Perry, last night on Dynamite as promised. However, the footage was pretty much exactly as CM Punk described in the interview with Ariel Helwani. It showed Punk going up to Perry and the two are exchanging words before Punk shoved Perry and then locked him in a choke hold. Samoa Joe and others who were around quickly jumped in to interfere and break up the fight as Punk is pulled away. Punk then turns his attention to presumably Tony Khan who is off to the side and off camera and says something to him and that was pretty much it. The angle however didn't work out in AEW's favor as fans inside the arena started a CM Punk chant. After the video was introduced, Tony Schiavone looked super uncomfortable at the commentary desk and many industry insiders are reporting that there was a lot of unhappiness backstage that the video was eventually released because it accomplished nothing. Meanwhil
e, a video on YouTube with The Young Bucks explaining the video and their promo on FTR gathered a massive 21,000 dislikes compared to the 3,600 likes. The backstage footage was cut from the YouTube version. You can see it at .

WILL OSPREAY TAKES A DIG AT TRIPLE H ON DYNAMITE

- Will Ospreay seemed like he was offended at the remarks that Triple H made over WrestleMania weekend when during the Pat McAfee Show on Friday he said that those who prefer to work elsewhere because of the lighter schedule have no business being in WWE. "If you're not in it for the grind at that point early in your career, you have no business being here," Triple H said. Speaking with Renee Paquette in an interview on Dynamite, the British star fired back at Triple H. "Normally I wouldn't rise to this type of bait. But seeing as the guy who said it is only in the position he is in because he was grinding on the boss's daughter, you are in no position to tell me what the grind is all about, my friend, because you have no idea what I fight for," Ospreay said as as uncomfortable-looking Paquette lowered her head. "So let this be a painful little jab back and a gentle reminder, that you do not throw stones at an assassin with a machine gun," Ospreay continued, adding before that he's d
elivering some of the best wrestling matches the world has ever seen. But in a recent interview with Chris Jericho on his podcast, Ospreay said that while he talked to WWE, it was night and day compared to AEW and specifically mentioned the lighter schedule. "The scheduling, everything about AEW was completely the right option for me. It was always, you can go be a superstar in WWE and famous, but it's not as good of pay and it's not as kind of a schedule," he said. You can see his Dynamite interview at .

NETFLIX AIRS WRESTLEMANIA LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND

GIULIA TALKS ABOUT NXT STAND & DELIVER AND TRIPLE H

- Japanese star Giulia told Tokyo Sports that she will be able to make some announcement "in the not-too-distant future" when asked about her meeting with Triple H. Giulia said she couldn't reveal the details of the conversation that the two had at NXT Stand & Deliver, but we'll find out the result of that discussion soon. Asked about her reaction from fans when she was shown on screen at Stand & Deliver, Giulia said she didn't think she was the one in the frame because the monitor was above her and couldn't see it. "There was a lot of cheering, so I thought someone big had come," she said. "When I saw the video, I realized that the cheers were for me. It was such a waste...I want to do it all over again!" Giulia is expected to start with WWE as soon as she helps her friend and mentor Rossy Ogawa kickstart his new promotion in Japan. Ogawa was with Giulia at WrestleMania weekend and was shown on camera as well.

WRESTLEMANIA 40 DOCUMENTARY DELAYED

- The planned WWE documentary WrestleMania 40: Behind the Curtain was not released yesterday as advertised and instead will be released "soon." PWInsider.com is reporting that the reason for the delay is because WWE filmed so much footage during WrestleMania weekend and some of it has to go in the documentary as well. The documentary was not complete, with the final chapter still in the works by the time WrestleMania went off the air. It was hoped that it would be ready by Wednesday but there was an overwhelming amount of footage to comb through and edit. WWE still plan on releasing the documentary on YouTube as soon as it is completed.
