Bronson Reed's Aura Debate & AEW's Ospreay-Moxley Bombshell | The 2 Count | Tuesday September 8

Coach and JD run their signature ten-topics-in-25-minutes format, opening with Bronson Reed's leaner, meaner return and Oba Femi's new spot sharing the main-event table with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. From there the show covers Royce Keys and OTM setting the Bloodline's car on fire on Raw and Paul Heyman's expanding role, before crossing over to AEW for the surprise announcement that Will Ospreay will defend the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley at All Out and the three-way TLC tag match pitting Copeland & Christian against FTR and the Young Bucks. The back half turns to business: WWE's LFG developmental layoffs, skepticism about the relocated Money in the Bank concept, Cody Rhodes' overdue heel turn, and a women's division the hosts say is being carried by NXT call-ups. The Kickout closes with super chats on Joe Tessitore's commentary style, Paul Heyman's mystery phone call, and a reveal that Oba Femi's on-air voice is a put-on accent.
