While attempting to celebrate his re-Bar Mitzvah on Dynamite, MJF was interrupted by the remaining members of the four pillars of AEW in order to have a sort of meeting of the minds over how the current World Champion is handling his reign. After allowing “Jungleboy” Jack Perry and Sammy Guevara to speak their minds, […]

It’s happening, AEW fans, it’s finally happening: after having to cancel his appearance at AAA TripleMania Regia 2021 to defend the AAA Mega Championship, Kenny Omega will be facing off against El Hijo del Vikingo for free on AEW television on the next edition of Dynamite. Taking to social media to announce the match, Tony Khan […]

After coming out to attack Ricky Starks in the name of Bullet Club on Dynamite, fans waited with bated breath to see what “Rock Hard” Juice Robinson had to say about the biggest move of his AEW career to date. Fortunately, the NJPW standout was afforded a few moments to discuss his efforts and lay […]

After watching a four-pillars showdown in the opening segment of Dynamite, the return of Stu Grayson, the debut of Taya Valkyrie, and a back and forth interaction between “Rock Hard” Juice Robinson and “Absolute” Ricky Starks, Orange Cassidy was finally afforded a chance to “level up” his All-Atlantic Championship to the brand new AEW International […]

When Nichole Matthews came out to face Jade Cargill as Canada’s challenger for the TBS Championship, it all but dashed any dreams that Taya Valkyrie, the former Impact Wrestling star who has wrestled all over the world over the last decade, would be coming to AEW. Taking care of Matthews in relative short order, running […]

As AEW prepares to run its first-ever show in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Tony Khan and company have decided to keep their love of the northern-most country in North America going by announcing a new six-show summer tour that will include the second-ever running of Forbidden Door – aka Forbidden Door II – which will come […]

When The Bella Twins announced their departure from WWE in order to cut it out on their own under their maiden name, Brie and Nikki Garcia, it left more than a few fans with one assumption and one assumption alone: The Bellas were heading to AEW. Now why would fans think such a thing? Well, […]

Though Keith Lee and Dustin Rhodes technically got one over on the Mogul Affiliates before Revolution, Swerve Strickland has insisted online that his AEW faction is going strong, with Parker Boudreaux and Trench just needing a bit more seasoning to get over in Tony Khan’s company. Appearing on Say Less With Kaz, Lowkey, and Rosy […]

Though Kenny Omega prepares for his triumphant return to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, for his first-ever match against Chris Jericho in his hometown, “The Best Bout Machine” may not have to look too far to find his next challenger in AEW. Why? Well, because none other than Paul Wight, the biggest show in the promotion, might […]

While Dusty Rhodes has been a featured part of the feud between his son Cody and Roman Reigns, the man some have suggested is the son “The American Dream” wished he had, did you know that the elder Rhodes actually suggested that his son leave WWE long before the start of AEW? It’s true, as […]

While Kenny Omega is most well regarded for his incredible in-ring efforts and for being an EVP of AEW, it’s less widely known that “The Best Bout Machine” also plays a major role in the promotion’s women’s division, where he helps to set up matches and develop storylines for Dynamite, Rampage, Dark, Elevation, and Pay-Per-Views. […]

Despite being a fixture of AEW television during the 2023 calendar year, Sammy Guevara has only really had one actual match of note since January 1st, when he took part in the Face of Revolution Ladder match to decide on the number one contender for the TNT Championship. Working largely as Chris Jericho’s right-hand guy, […]

Ever since Paul “Triple H” Levesque came to creative power within the WWE Univese, fans have been scouring the independent wrestling markets to determine which of “his guys” could be in play for a return to The Fed. So far, those dreams have largely and widely been answered, as WWE has brought back more than […]

After shocking the AEW galaxy by ending Wardlow’s TNT Championship run after just three days in a Falls Count Anywhere Anything Goes match on Dynamite with a little help from QT Marshal, Powerhouse Hobbs and his co-conspirator were afforded some promo time on Rampage to finally explain what happened. Have Hobbs and Marshall been in […]

When Chris Jericho jumped ship from WWE to New Japan Pro Wrestling to challenge his fellow Winnipegger, Kenny Omega, to a match at WrestleKingdom 12, it felt like a very big deal. After spending over 20 years in WWE, with a run in WCW preceding it, Jericho was finally back on the indies and made […]

Though AEW hasn’t officially announced the date of Forbidden Door II – according to Spectrum, it’s June 24, 2023 – it looks like one of the top talents in New Japan Pro Wrestling already has a challenger for her IWGP Women’s World Championship, as none other than Britt Baker is very, very interested in sharing […]

After watching FTR cut one heck of a promo in support of the crowd but against The A** Boys The Gunns on Dynamite, Canada’s own Renee Paquette caught up with TBS Champion Jade Cargill to ask her if she’s feeling challenged in AEW. But, strangely enough, the undefeated champion ended up being the one who […]

After making a perfectly timed entrance during Ricky Starks’ promotional segment to put a beatdown on the “Stroke Daddy,” Lexy Nair knew the AEW Galaxy needed to hear more from Juice Robinson, so she posted up in the back of the Golden 1 Arena to try to catch a few words from the “Rock Hard” […]

After having his rental car broken into and his bag, which included his wrestling gear and TNT Championship belt, stolen, Wardlow had an interview with Tony Schiavone during the first hour of AEW Dynamite to hype up his match with Powerhouse Hobbs in the main event, and in hindsight, his words were insanely prophetic in […]

After tapping out of his own finisher following a 67-minute Ironman match against MJF at Revolution, Bryan Danielson felt crushed for more reasons than one. Afforded a chance to address the AEW Galaxy, “The American Dragon” let it be known that he was sorry he let the people who matter the most to him down: […]

After hinting at yet another major announcement heading into AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan once again made an appearance on his Wednesday night show to deliver some news to his fans, only this time, Adam Cole didn’t come out to help him. No, Khan did it all on his own, and, in a, shall we say, […]

After securing a win in a trios match versus Top Flight plus AR Fox on Dynamite, Chris Jericho declared the JAS trio of himself, Sammy Guevara, and Daniel Garcia was not only the best trio in all of AEW but also the new number one contenders for the AEW World Trios Championships, which were won […]

After securing a huge win at Revolution over Bryan Danielson in a 67-minute Ironman match, MJF was riding high, as his pickle-heavy interactions during the post-show media scrum clearly proved. Fortunately, AEW decided to get him on camera before he hit the showers to cut a promo on his future plans in AEW, and he […]

After going to war and really living up to his nickname in a Texas Death match at AEW Revolution, “Hangman” Adam Page was booked for an interview with Renee Paquette to discuss his marquee in-ring match and how it will affect his plans moving forward. “Physically, I’ve been better, but my heart, my mind, my […]

After securing a massive win at Revolution against Chris Jericho, his first W in an AEW ring in a Pay-Per-View match, Ricky Starks came out to the ring on the fall-out edition of Dynamite in order to discuss his journey so far and where he’d like to be moving forward. Fortunately, the crowd was excited […]

After securing his first-ever AEW Pay-Per-View victory at Revolution, Ricky Starks was riding high. He’d beaten Chris Jericho for the second time in 2023 – a feat no one else had accomplished – got his hug with Tony Khan, and boldly declared that he was ready to compete for championship gold, and could even see […]

When FTR, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, emerged at the end of the penultimate match at AEW Revolution to get into a little brawl with the once and current AEW World Tag Team Champions, The Gunns, it felt like a big deal. Sure, technically, Harwood had been priming fans for the return for weeks, noting […]

After officially throwing in her lot with The Outsiders, Saraya and Toni Storm, at the end of her match at Revolution – even if it would have made more sense to turn on Jamie Hayter during the match to better her championship-winning odds – Ruby Soho is out for blood in AEW. She doesn’t seem […]

After sitting through question-asking sessions with MJF, Ricky Starks, and Wardlow, Tony Khan finally opened himself up for questions with the assembled media at the end of Revolution and was asked one of the most pressing quandaries on the minds of AEW fans around the world: what is going on with Kenny Omega? “I think […]

After watching Wardlow submit “The Samoan Submission Machine,” Samoa Joe, with his own move at Revolution, reporters were eager to as a few questions to “Mr. Mayhem” about what his second run with the AEW belt would look like. Did he have any wrestlers in mind that he would like to wrestle? Or any other […]

After going the distance against Chris Jericho at Revolution and securing his first-ever win on an AEW Pay-Per-View, Ricky Starks was riding high. Moseying on back to the media scrum for a little back-and-forth action with the assembled reporters, Starks took a seat next to Tony Khan and did his darn thing, with his suave […]

After securing a massive win over “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson in 60 minutes and change at Revolution, MJF was riding high. He got the accolades, he got the glory, and he got to keep his prized possession, The Triple B, the only thing keeping him from “calling it a day.” So naturally, when the […]

When AEW announced that Bryan Danielson and MJF were going to take part in a 60 Minute Iron Man match at Revolution, it drew quite the reaction from professional wrestling fans the world over. Who would secure the win, the best in-ring wrestler in the entire world, a man so good he quite literally has […]

When the make-shift tag team of Orange Cassidy and Danhausen, technically wrestling under the Best Friends flag, were named as the final team for the Tag Team Fatal Fourway at Revolution alongside The Gunns, Triple J, and The Acclaimed, it came as a minor disappointment for fans desperate to see FTR make another run at […]

When Wardlow got in the ring with Samoa Joe, he wasn’t exclusively looking to retain the AEW TNT Championship belt he held during the final days of 2022. Sure, becoming a two-time TNT Champion certainly was on Wardlow’s to-do list, as he was never technically pinned for the strap and instead watched Powerhouse Hobbs eat […]

Do you know how ex-AEW World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page got his moniker? Well, back in his Ring of Honor days, Page famously wrapped a noose around Chris Sabin of the Motor City Machine Guns’ neck and hung him outside the ring, quite literally becoming a “hangman.” Though Page has largely abandoned bringing a rope […]

Some matches tell a story. The bout between “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry and Christian Cage at Revolution certainly falls into that category, as does the bout between Chris Jericho and Ricky Starks, and even the AEW World Trios Championship match between The House of Black and The Elite served as 15-minute vignette so entertaining that […]

All rise to acknowledge the new AEW World Champions, The House of Black. Though their match with The Elite had basically no build-up whatsoever, with a few moments on AEW television to set up a pretty consequential title match an, um, interesting choice, you’d think the two teams has been working matches forever, as the […]

Jack Perry has been one of the most promising babyfaces in AEW since the promotion came into being in 2019. He’s wrestled for championships early on against Chris Jericho, won tag team gold with Luchasaurus, and went on to have multiple marquee matches on Pay-Per-Views, including a win over his former partner in a steel […]
