Back to EpisodesThe New Level Breaks Its Silence | The Coach and Bro | Wednesday September 2
Description
Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed—now The New Level—have finally spoken publicly about leaving WWE, and their answers gave The Coach and Vince Russo plenty to debate. The pair discussed the emotion surrounding Big E, the moment they realized it was time to move on, and a proposed compensation reduction that Kofi said was more than 50 percent. Austin also said there was no senior-level farewell call or thank-you before their exit, while Kofi made clear that he remains grateful for the career WWE gave him. They have since debuted in AEW alongside Swerve Strickland and captured the AEW World Trios Championship at All In: London.
The episode’s second major debate begins with Andrade’s Latin Lover interview, in which he argued that certain Samoan wrestlers receive repeated opportunities while Mexican talent—including Santos Escobar, Angel Garza, and Berto—often gets a much shorter window. That opens a wider conversation about favoritism, creative control, Matt Cardona’s torn triceps, the uncertainty injured performers face, and Santos Escobar’s account of the promises Nick Khan made before he re-signed.
The Big Three closes with a breakdown of Paul Heyman’s Raw promo ahead of Bron Breakker versus Oba Femi. WWE framed the match as a battle for the future in which neither man can afford to lose. Could Bronson Reed’s reported return reshape The Vision, free Breakker for a singles run, and give Heyman a new monster to represent? The hosts also discuss title inflation, Sting’s son, WWE’s talent tryouts, The Miz’s ability to reinvent himself, Bayley’s possible next chapter, and the Coach and Bro-let Wheel controversy.
