After urging fans to tune into AEW Dynamite for a very special announcement, Tony Khan did not disappoint, letting fans know about a brand new show booked for Boston that should put the business on notice, even if he didn’t say the name of any of the top free agents on the open market – […]

With 2024 now officially a month old, the professional wrestling free agent landscape is slowly coming into focus, with some talents officially free to sign wherever they’d like as of January 1st, while others are slowing trickling into the open market from the likes of New Japan, Stardom, WWE, and even AEW over the next […]

AEW Fight Forever is now 50% off at “participating stores,” now selling for only $29.99, from its original $59.99 price point when it was first released in June last year. The price drop is effective on all platforms. As of press time, it appears that the price drop is only for physical copies of the […]

Percy Jackson and the Olympians star Aryan Simhadri learned a lot from co-star Adam Copeland. You may know Copeland as a current member of AEW’s roster. He’s better known for his Hall of Fame career in the WWE under the name Edge. For years, Copeland has pushed the boundaries of professional wrestling. From his unlikely […]

Ricky Starks is a pretty popular man in professional wrestling, having made friends with some of the biggest stars in the world today during his time in NWA, AEW, and on the indies. Over the course of his 12-year career, he’s become incredibly close with Cody Rhodes, as fans learned on Rhodes to the Top, […]

When Sting broke the news that he was going to hang up his boots for good in early 2024, wrestling one final match at Revolution before heading off into the great unknown of retirement, it felt like a big deal. While Sting hasn’t wrestled frequently in AEW, working just 26 matches since his debut in […]

CM Punk reportedly suffered a major injury at the Royal Rumble on Saturday night. Punk suffered a torn left triceps and is expected to require surgery, which will make him unavailable to perform at WrestleMania in April. The injury is the second time Punk has torn his triceps, although he tore the triceps in his […]

When news broke that Andrade El Idolo was not going to re-sign with AEW when his contract came to an end at the end of December, it felt like only a matter of time before the former Los Ingobernables de Japon member would make his way over to WWE to rejoin his wife Charlotte Flair […]

The last few years have been some of the most eventful in the history of professional wrestling, from CM Punk’s time at AEW to the unprecedented merger between WWE and UFC into TKO Holdings Group. However, the first month of 2024 already seemingly pales in comparison to everything that occurred beforehand. As of this writing, […]

Chris Jericho has been a major part of WWE’s history. From winning several championships to electrifying the WWE Universe, Jericho was one of the best wrestlers in WWE history before taking his talents to All Elite Wrestling. Even in AEW, Jericho continues to make his presence felt with his wrestling and microphone skills. Given Jericho’s […]

With Sting‘s final match in professional wrestling rapidly approaching, presumably against the Young Bucks in the main event of Revolution, you’d think the “Icon” would set back, make a few appearances on AEW shows, and prepare to ride off into the sunset in March, right? … nope, as it turns out, Darby Allin, Sting’s tag […]

After watching AEW sign up dozens of released WWE Superstars over the past few years, the fine folks over at The Fed are slowly starting to return the favor, with former champions like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and Jade Cargill all earning main roster contracts right out of the gates and other performers like Lexis […]

When Tony Schiavone and company broke the news on AEW Collision that the “Rated-R Superstar” Adam Copeland was going to wrestle Minoru Suzuki as part of his Cope Open, it turned heads around the online wrestling community. Suddenly, one of the most popular wrestlers of the 2000s was going to go face-to-face with the most […]

As Mercedes Mone rapidly approaches… some sort of free agency decision following the end of her affiliation with New Japan Pro Wrestling, public opinion is firmly in the camp that the former WWE Women’s Champion will find herself a member of AEW when the dust settles. On paper, it makes sense, right? AEW fans have […]

When Cody Rhodes left AEW for WWE, it was anything but a clean break. Sure, technically, the “American Nightmare” could do whatever he wanted to once he was let out of his contract by Tony Khan, as, after his option was declined, he could and ultimately did sign wherever he wanted to, but he left […]

If there’s one thing the unofficial ace of AEW, Jon Moxley, isn’t a fan of, its… calendars? Sitting down for an interview with Comicbook.com, Moxley opened up about just that, noting that, in his opinion, there’s nothing gained by measuring one’s accomplishments in terms of individual years, as it can produce misleading results. “Maybe that […]

After taking a few months off of television after being bested inside the ring and tactically by their long-time The Elite friend Kenny Omega alongside his short-lived tag team partner Chris Jericho at Full Gear, the Young Bucks returned in a big way on the second AEW Dynamite of 2024, interrupting the post-match celebration between […]

In a year that featured some pretty incredible returns, debuts, and shocking booking decisions, no story garnered more interest – and was more impactful – across the professional wrestling landscape in 2023 than the “Brawl In” between “Jungle Boy” Jack Pery and CM Punk ahead of the former’s match with Samoa Joe at All In […]

As the professional wrestling community prepares to hear from the Young Bucks for the first time since Full Gear back in November, with Nick and Matt Jackson returning to Dynamite to effectively lay down the challenge for Sting and Darby Allin ahead of the former’s final match, the discourse has again opened up about just […]

After spending his entire professional wrestling career as a member of WWE, Nic Nemeth, the wrestler formerly known as Dolph Ziggler, is ready to spread his wings and really see where he fits into the professional wrestling landscape. Step one in that process? Wrestle a ton of matches all over the professional wrestling world for […]

After running out to the ring in Inglewood, California, to announce himself as the latest member of AEW at Full Gear, Will Ospreay‘s deal with Tony Khan’s company came with a pretty big caveat: he still had New Japan Pro Wrestling obligations left on his contract. On paper, it made sense, right? In November, AEW […]

Did you know the “Alwayz Ready” Matt Cardona is going to be wrestling Hollywood actor Paul Walter Hauser at GCW Ready or Not in March? Well, if you tuned into the Emmys to see which television actors would be honored for their efforts, then you’re certainly aware of their connection now, as the now-two-time Emmy […]

After taking care of business against Team Filthy in the opening match of New Japan Pro Wrestling Battle in the Valley, “Shooter” Shota Umino was ready to go to the back to celebrate alongside his teammates Jacob Fatu and Fred Rosser but was cruelly interrupted when out of nowhere, the man formerly known as Jungle […]

Julia Hart is the youngest champion in AEW history. Initially signing with the promotion after single-digit matches on the indies and a run learning the ropes at Cody Rhodes’ Nightmare Factory, Hart found some success with the Varisty Blondes alongside Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr, but really came into her own as a member […]

When Tony Khan took to social media to slander Jinder Mahal’s win-loss record in an unusual attempt to justify booking Hook against Samoa Joe for a televised AEW World Championship match, it turned heads around the wrestling world. To some, the decision was simply a young, social media savvy SEO having some fun online, garnering […]

Eddie Kingston is an AEW homer. After spending the better part of 20 years bouncing around the indie world looking for a long-term home, working for everyone from Chikara to Impact, PWG, and CZW, Kingston finally found a home on a nationally televised wrestling promotion, turning a tryout match versus Cody Rhodes for the TNT […]

Though Adam Copeland has been a member of the AEW Galaxy for the better part of three months, his career is, was, and will almost wholly be defined by his decades in WWE, where he was one of the top guys in the entire promotion through multiple eras of the company’s history. Discussing his experience […]

Are you familiar with the name DJ Whoo Kid? Well if not, you will be soon, as the musician might have just provided fans with one of the most important pieces of insight regarding professional wrestling in 2023 – insight that, to this point, had exclusively been hearsay. Appearing on the Jim Norton & Sam […]

After patiently waiting out his 90-day non-compete clause following his release from WWE, Matt Riddle has slowly but surely made his way back into the professional wrestling world, first wrestling Jacob Fatu in MLW as part of a match that drew pretty darn interesting reactions from fans online due to the commentary by Matt Striker, […]

When Adam Copeland mentioned in an interview that he’d be open to forming a new version of Judgment Day in AEW featuring promising you performers like Griff Garrison, many, if not most fans assumed the “Rated-R Superstar” just threw out a name from developmental side of the roster. Well, as it turns out, choosing Garrison […]

For the better part of a year, fans of AEW have been borderline demanding to see Tony Khan publish a picture of Mercedes Mone on social media over top of the “IsAllElite” graphic. From commenting on social media posts by the AEW booker begging to see the CEO in one of his rings to discussing […]

When Dolph Ziggler was released from the WWE Universe back in September, it drew a variety of different reactions from across the WWE Universe. To some, the move was genuinely surprising, as Ziggler was rapidly approaching 20 years with the promotion, and there’s nothing WWE likes to do more than celebrate a milestone of such […]

When Samoa Joe signed with AEW in April of 2022, few expected to see the “Samoan Submission Machine” hold up the biggest prize in the promotion, the AEW World Championship, before the clock struck 00:00 in 2023. Now granted, championship gold has pretty much followed Joe no matter where he’s gone during his career, holding […]

When AEW Collision was announced for Charlotte, North Carolina, it felt like a borderline guarantee that Sting‘s manager, the “Nature Boy” himself, Ric Flair, would be a fixture of the program. A native of Memphis, Tenessee, Flair cut his teeth in the south working for Jim Crockett’s promotion and continued that trend into the 1980s […]

In 2024, The Miz might just be the most polarizing professional wrestler in the WWE Universe. Some fans love him, be it because they enjoyed his run of years past both as a single and in teams with the likes of R-Truth or because they secretly think he’s an incredible wrestler who hasn’t been afforded […]

If there’s one complaint fans might have from MJF’s World Championship run in AEW, it’s that his reign was a little too much Sports Entertainment and not enough professional wrestling. On paper, it makes sense, right? MJF is by all accounts a massive fan of wrestling’s past, basing much of his presentation on old-school legends […]

When Tony Khan announced at Worlds End that Andrade El Idolo was heading to free agency following the culmination of his contract, it left folks from around the professional wrestling world, from folks on social media to wrestling podcasters like Jim Ross, having a pretty good idea of where he’ll wrestle next: WWE. On paper, […]

Without further ado, let’s look at […]

Heading into New Japan Pro Wrestling’s premier show of the year, Wrestle Kingdom 18, one match rose above the rest as the bout to watch for fans in America, Japan, and everywhere else, really: Bryan Danielson versus Kazuchika Okada II. A match with nothing at stake but some serious bragging rights, Danielson, who won the […]
