On the latest What Happened When podcast, AEW commentator Nigel McGuinness joined Tony Schiavone and Conrad Thompson to revisit classic Bryan Danielson matches, largely remaining in character and delivering sharp critiques of the American Dragon. McGuinness even joked about Danielson and the Wrestling Observer Awards while maintaining his abrasive persona throughout the discussion.

Schiavone heaped praise on his broadcast partner, saying, “Nigel is probably the best color analyst I’ve ever worked with,” and noting that McGuinness is always prepared and reliable with storylines and notes — a quality Schiavone says he leans on in the booth. The glowing endorsement underscores McGuinness’s growing reputation as a top analyst in AEW.

Montreal has emerged as the heavy favorite to host All Elite Wrestling’s Redemption pay-per-view, likely slated for this summer, according to Fightful Select. The outlet says an official announcement is expected in the coming weeks, though full details remain behind a subscriber paywall.

AEW has not yet confirmed Redemption; the promotion has filed for the Redemption trademark and other related filings in recent months, which has only fueled speculation about timing and location for the anticipated event.
