You have to give it to AEW‘s Ricky Starks, he sure knows how to make an entrance. That’s right, after having his open challenge for the FTW Championship answered by none other than the very nicest, very evilest man on the AEW roster, Danhausen, at Fyter Fest Week 2, Starks preempted his own in-ring entrance […]

Darby Allin is one of the biggest babyfaces in AEW; kids of all ages love his very “toyetic” appearance, his reckless style/innovative move set, and the fact that no matter who he wrestles in a match, he will almost assuredly be the babyface. And yet, because he’s such a babyface, he sometimes gets taken advantage […]

Tony Khan has booked a wide variety of different styles of wrestling matches in AEW. He’s booked Ironman matches, Best Two out of Three Falls matches, Three-Way Tag Team Title matches, and even the dynamic duo of the Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match and the Barbed Wire Everywhere Match – both of which didn’t quite […]

Say what you will about AEW‘s Eddie Kingston, that he’s one of the best talkers in the business, that he has an “unprofessional physique,” or that his angles have a tendency to get a bit too real for anyone’s good, but even his biggest detractors can’t say with a straight face that the “Mad King” […]

After securing a massive win over Cole “Don’t-call-him-Tony-Two-Dimes-Donovan” Karter on AEW’s Fyter Fest, Ricky Starks got greedy. Though his match was somewhat contentious, with Karter getting in a few should-have-been-pins on the “Absolute” one, Starks was drinking a little too much of his Kool-Aid once the ref hit 1-2-3 and demanded a microphone to issue […]

Welp, that didn’t take long; after officially making his first post-NXT appearance in a wrestling ring as part of the AEW Dark tapings in Orlando, Florida, Cole Karter, aka Troy “Two Dimes” Donovan, has officially been bumped up to the “main roster” to wrestle Ricky Starks on the Week 2 edition of Fyter Fest as […]

Being a professional wrestler, even in a company like AEW with a relatively light workload, isn’t for everyone; the hours are long, the traveling can be a slog, and the constant physical beating can take a toll on even the most physically fit performer. While some performers relish the road-dog lifestyle, sleeping in 15-passenger vans […]

When Darby Allin extended a hand to Brody King following his unsuccessful challenge for the Interim AEW World Championship once Dynamite went off of the air on Wednesday night, it generated more than a few thoughts about a potential team-up between the two parties. On paper, putting King with Allin and Sting made a ton […]

A lot happens at an AEW show when the live Dynamite cameras stop rolling. For one thing, the promotion has to film AEW Dark Elevation and Ramage – unless it’s a week where Rampage happens live – with some other recorded segments being put together before or after the show kicks off too for good […]

The best place to key in on long-term storytelling in AEW isn’t actually on an AEW-branded production, but instead on Being The Elite, the YouTube show produced weekly for years now by The Young Bucks. BTE set the stage for the launch of AEW, set up the falling out between The Elite and “Hangman” Adam […]

After having “97.5 percent” of its rights at Forbidden Door, Tony Khan pulled through and Orange Cassidy finally debuted his new theme at AEW‘s Blood and Guts, with “Where is my Mind” by Pixies being officially replaced by “Jane” the song by Jefferson Starship known most notably for being featured in the film Wet Hot […]

After tearing down the “Forbidden Door” at a pay-per-view literally called Forbidden Door, AEW is on a roll. They’ve got a new interim champion, a number of new feuds raring to go, and have booked of their biggest televised bout of the year, Blood and Guts, set to take place on free television, broadcast live […]

After watching along live as “The Stone Pitbull” Tomohiro Ishii secured the third spot in the four-way bout to decide on the inaugural All-Atlantic Championship of AEW – or, more realistically, watching a replay of the Japanese-held event the next morning – there was one qualifying match left for the final spot in the match […]

The Bullet Club and The Young Bucks; the wrestling equivalent of peanut butter and chocolate. On their own, both are great; peanut butter is one of the best flavors ever created, and as for chocolate? Well, you can have chocolate on its own or with just about anything else, and it remains good. So naturally, […]

When news broke that there was a Bryan Danielson speaking segment scheduled for this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, it left more than a few fans worried about what he had to say. Was “The American Dragon” going to announce his opponent at Forbidden Door? Or would he instead inform fans that he’s just too […]

Contrary to popular belief, Willow Nightingale is not a member of AEW, at least not on a full-time basis. No, despite having wrestled in 14 matches for the promotion dating all the way back to April of 2021, including three wins on AEW Dark Elevation, a spot in the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament qualifying […]

When news broke that the Hardy Brothers had been removed from the AEW Tag Team Championship ladder match due to Jeff’s DUI arrest-influenced suspension, it sent the entire match into flux, at least in the minds of fans who were deeply looking forward to seeing what could have ushered in the final major title run […]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, Tony Khan did it; after hinting at beef between the Best Friends/CHAOS collective and the United Empire in both AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling, the booking tandem of Gedo and TK have officially pulled the trigger one what might just be the most exciting match of […]

When AEW announced the christening of a new title belt, the All-Atlantic Championship, on Wednesday, June 8th’s edition of Dynamite, it left more questions than answered. The way the belt was introduced was clunky, with a surprisingly swift two-round tournament set to start mere moments later in the broadcast to decide the eventual winner at […]

During an interview with Busted Open Radio, AEW owner and president Tony Kahn announced that the battle royale–taking place on Wednesday night to determine who will face Jon Moxley in the main event of Dynamite in Kansas City–will be a casino battle royale.  The winner of the main event will take on Hiroshi Tanahashi at […]
