March 2, 2026 Observer Newsletter: Paramount/WBD ramifications for AEW, WWE 2025 financials, Elimination Chamber preview

  • F4W Staff

Dave Meltzer has returned with a brand-new edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter with plenty to talk about.

Dave looks at the breaking news that Paramount is now set to acquire all of WBD as Netflix has bowed out of the bidding and what that could mean for AEW.

He previews this weekend’s WWE Elimination Chamber — the final big stop on the road to WrestleMania 42.

Dave also looks at AJ Styles making it official that he has retired from the ring, an announcement made on a podcast after this past week’s tribute in Atlanta and the surprise news he is going into the WWE Hall of Fame.

He also looks at this past week’s TKO financial call that revealed WWE and UFC’s numbers for the year.
