The Kayfabe Problem | Why Gabe Kidd’s Story Arc Feels Off

A deep dive into Gabe Kidd’s chaotic character shift, AEW’s inconsistent storytelling, and why fans are struggling to suspend disbelief.

Hey friends,

Squared Circle Podcast is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

I'm back with a fresh episode of the Squared Circle Podcast—and it's a big one.

In this deep dive, I unravel the complex and sometimes frustrating journey of Gabe Kidd—his explosive presence in NJPW, his sudden alignment with Jon Moxley in AEW, and what it means for Bullet Club War Dogs. As always, I explore this from a kayfabe-first lens, but also keep it real with industry insight, storytelling expectations, and creative critique.

I ask the questions fans are scared to ask:

  • Why is Gabe jumping ship after saying “F AEW”?

  • Where’s the consistency in his character?

  • And why are we waiting for a press conference to understand a major plot turn?

🧠 Topics Covered:

  • Gabe Kidd’s character integrity

  • Why AEW storytelling feels inconsistent

  • Bullet Club War Dogs fallout

  • Kayfabe vs Reality

  • Wrestling’s creative direction

If you’re a fan of real wrestling commentary—without the fluff—this episode is for you.
