Tapped Out Podcast 6/11/2026: WWE Dodges Disaster, AEW Expands & Indy Wrestling Heats Up

WWE and TKO avoided what could have been one of the biggest stories in wrestling business history.

This week, Nick and Myron break down the settlement that prevented a public trial involving Vince McMahon, Ari Emanuel, and Nick Khan from moving forward. What does avoiding weeks of testimony, headlines, and internal documents becoming public mean for WWE and TKO moving forward?

The guys also discuss WWE's latest scheduling shakeup as Money in the Bank moves to October while Saturday Night's Main Event heads to Atlanta. Is this simply smart business planning, or is WWE intentionally maneuvering around AEW's biggest events?

That leads to a larger conversation about WWE's counterprogramming strategy. With Night of Champions, Forbidden Door, Slammiversary, and Great American Bash all stacked into the same weekend, who actually benefits? Is AEW being hurt, or are NXT and TNA paying the bigger price?

Elsewhere:• NXT's ratings continue to rebound... but are still well below last year's numbers. Is the brand facing bigger problems?• AEW content arrives on Tubi, putting AEW and WWE content on the same streaming platform for the first time.
