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 […]

Ricky Starks has Chris Jericho’s number in AEW. Since the duo became opponents in 2023, “Stroke Daddy” has consistently found ways to get one over on the leader of The Jericho Appreciation Society, even if the JAS has largely been the difference maker in their feud. Still, after tricking “The Ocho” into accepting a match […]

Mark Briscoe is really over. Since officially signing with AEW in February and making his in-ring debut for the promotion a few weeks prior, Sussex County Chicken has been capturing the hearts of new fans and revitalizing the passions of old fans alike and even found some new, old friends in the Lucha Brothers, whom […]

It’s here, it’s finally here: Revolution is upon us, AEW fans. Soon, fans will find out if Bryan Danielson will add the AEW World Championship to his already impressive resume, if The Gunns will go down as the shortest World Tag Team Champions in the promotion’s history, and which side Ruby Soho will ultimately fall […]

A lot of great AEW World Tag Team Championship matches have been wrestled at Revolution since the Pay-Per-View ran its maiden voyage in February of 2020. From The Elite Civil War between Kenny Omega and “Hangman” Adam Page versus the Young Bucks in 2020, to Young Bucks-Inner Circle – Chris Jericho and MJF – in […]

As Bryan Danielson prepares for the most important match of his AEW career in a 60-Minute Ironman match versus MJF at Revolution, “The American Dragon” has been keeping busy on the media circuit, discussing his goals for the match, his disdain for MJF, and even a few non-AEW opportunities, namely his desire to wrestle in […]

With 2022 officially in the rearview window, and all of the votes counted, the Wrestling Observer has officially released the results of The Wrestling Observer Awards, the long-running year-in-review that Dave Meltzer has been handing out since 1980. Though many of the awards were fairly predictable – Bryan Danielson won the Bryan Danielson Award, Tony […]

After making a surprise appearance in the Casino Tag Team Battle Royal on AEW Dynamite, running around the ring like a wild man before chasing “Smart” Mark Sterling back up the ramp, Mark Briscoe decided to address the fans on Rampage to explain where his head has been at since officially becoming All Elite back […]

As AEW prepares for Revolution, the company’s first Pay-Per-View of the 2023 calendar year, and the launch of AEW: All Access, a new reality show set to replace Power Slap: Road to the Title immediately following Dynamite on TBS, Britt Baker has been doing the rounds to drum up interest for the show. Joining Barstool […]

Though it’s almost been a year since Cody Rhodes made his re-debut in WWE at WrestleMania 38, stories continue to come out about his time in AEW, some of them good, some of them bad, some of them representing “what if” scenarios that fans will unfortunately never get a definitive answer to one way or […]

After watching multiple segments on a jam-packed edition of Dynamite run long, Bryan Danielson was afforded just under seven minutes for the main event of the final Wednesday night show before Revolution, where he will wrestle MJF in a 60-Minute Ironman match for the AEW World Championship. Fortunately, Danielson didn’t have to work another qualifying […]

After going to absolute war against Evil Uno on the previous week of AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley, still dripping blood from the bout, requested a camera crew and cut a promo on his Revolution foe “Hangman” Adam Page, and believe you me, it was absolutely vicious. “Oh yeah, I can taste it, it tastes like […]

Folks, Eddie Kingston has officially quit AEW. I know, crazy, right? But it’s true; after spending a few minutes in the Face of the Revolution Ladder match before brawling to the back with Ortiz – a brawl that reportedly took ten men to break up, according to Excaliber on commentary – Kingston requested time on […]

When Renee Paquette let it be known that Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta were unable to compete in the Casino Battle Royal on the final AEW Dynamite before Revolution, it left the match down one team with barely any time to find another entrant. Fortunately, Tony Khan didn’t have to look very long to find […]

After months of anticipation and only one match on television, Powerhouse Hobbs needed a win in the worst way heading into the final AEW Dynamite before Revolution – a match being held in Bay Area home. Taking the ring against six of the toughest foes on the AEW roster plus Komander, who isn’t publically signed […]

When news broke that Orange Cassidy was going to open the show on AEW Dynamite with his 13th overall All-Atlantic Championship defense, this time against Big Bill of The Firm, it left fans in San Francisco and otherwise ready to see one heck of a show. Walking down to the ring with his typical nonchalance, […]

There was a time when Keith Lee looked like he was going to become the next big thing in WWE – literally. Measuring in at 6-foot-2, 332 pounds, Lee looks like an NFL nose tackle but moves like a luchador and has the ability to be one of the most special in-ring performers a promotion […]

AEW’s Kenny Omega is not one to hide his outside-the-ring influences from his wrestling persona. His finisher, the One-Winged Angel, is named after Final Fantasy VII, the V-Trigger is a reference to Street Fighter, and he’s worn ring attire inspired by everything from The Terminator to Undertale, Ghostbusters, and even Street Fighter, again. But did […]

When Tay Melo and Anna Jay AS took the ring against Ruby Soho and Willow Nightingale at the “Fabulous” Kia Forum in sunny Los Angeles, California, fans knew they were in for a bloodbath. Veterans of the hardcore game dating back to their first street fight against The Bunny and Penelope Ford at New Year’s […]

As AEW contracts begin to come due over the next calendar year, WWE fans have already begun fantasy booking performers from the black and gold brand jumping ship to The Fed for a chance to compete with and against their former co-worker Cody Rhodes. Kenny Omega? Sure, he’d look great in the ring against other […]

Kenny Omega’s 2022 was not what you would call a banner year for the former AEW World Champion. With his run as the “Belt Collector” officially done and a small mountain of needed surgeries compounding, leading to over half a year away from the ring and a missed spot at the Pay-Per-View virtually made for […]

When Action Andretti beat Chris Jericho in a “tune-up” match on AEW Dynamite, it was a big deal. The win instantly made Andretti a star, secured him an AEW contract, and afforded him opportunities to appear on podcasts like AEW Unrestricted, the official podcast of the company. And as for Jericho? Well, this loss thrust […]

There was a time where FTR, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, returning to AEW on new contracts felt incredibly unlikely. The duo, mostly Harwood, consistently complained about the team’s lack of title shots despite being perennial number one contenders, the team began working more indie matches to supplement their lack of AEW television time, and […]

When Excalibur plowed through the matches for fans to expect on the next episode of AEW Dynamite on the final Rampage of the month of February, the masked commentator announced the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match, which will be on television for the first time in the match’s history. Going through each participant, Excalibur […]

Though they’ve yet to wrestle a match as a trio, or even work a tag team match on AEW Dark, Dark Elevation, Dynamite, or Rampage, Swerve Strickland and his new faction, the Mogul Affiliates, have found a way to make things interesting within the AEW Galaxy with their potent combination of big word talking and […]

Though he’s only wrestled one match on AEW television in the calendar year of 2023, securing a squash win on Rampage, many in AEW still have high hopes for the career of Powerhouse Hobbs, the former Team Taz member who has yet to taste gold in Tony Khan’s company. One of those AEW personalities who […]
