Welcome to Midnight Mania!
UFC President Dana White thought he had a house run on his fingers, pulling strings to get slap preventing legalized in Las Vegas, Nevada and placing collectively an organization pretty shortly. From the start, nonetheless, the neighborhood response to Energy Slap has by no means been nice. It’s been criticized on grounds of security and stupidity, and the scores have persistently mirrored as a lot. Exterior of a robust week two efficiency, scores have regularly dropped.
Presently, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Dynamite serves because the lead as much as Energy Slap on TBS. Per SportsKeeda, that’s scheduled to vary someday subsequent month. As an alternative of main into Energy Slap, AEW Dynamite might be adopted by AEW All Entry.
Energy Slap dropping its time slot amidst declining scores can’t be thought of a very good signal. Although I wouldn’t take into account it particular, UFC and AEW followers alike are celebrating what they view as “the top of Energy Slap.”
Right here’s a pattern of the reactions:
i’m simply blissful that we gained’t must cope with silly Energy Slap commercials anymore #AEWDynamite #UFC Powerslap is canceled. WE WON! AEW: All Entry will debut proper after Dynamite in March. Powerslap being changed by Aew all entry present is nice. WB discovered that fraud Dana and that horrible present didn’t herald viewers. May’ve been an ROH present however at lengthy as powerslap is gone I’m advantageous. Doesn’t this AEW announcement imply the top of Energy Slap? I’m undecided how American broadcasting schedules work lol” So Tony Khan’s large #AEW announcement is that #PowerSlap misplaced its television timeslot – I don’t find out about you people however that’s ok for me. AEW All Entry is simply one other method of claiming Energy Slap obtained cancelled. These guys obtained slapped for early CTE for nothing #AEWDynamite
To reiterate, there isn’t any direct affirmation that Energy Slap isn’t merely shifting time slots or taking a break of some sort. Followers are able to have fun its demise, nonetheless, and the game as an entire is producing way more controversy and negativity than the rest.
