After getting into a very publicized fight with Jack Perry at All In in London, AEW has officially announced that CM Punk has been fired effective immediately following a weeklong internal investigation. In an official statement from AEW CEO, General Manager, and Head of Creative Tony Khan, the noted CM Punk fan thanked him for […]

Why did CM Punk spend nine months away from AEW? Was it because he suffered a shoulder injury at All Out that required surgery and forced Tony Khan to vacate the AEW World Championship? Or maybe it was because of his Brawl Out in the locker room with The Elite – Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, […]

Though Cody Rhodes hasn’t been a member of the AEW universe in over a year, with his final match in the promotion coming in January of 2022 when he lost the TNT Championship to Sammy Guevara on Dynamite, “The American Nightmare’s” influence on the promotion he helped to start remains to this very day, with […]

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 […]

Boom, Adam Cole is back in AEW after eight months away, but, to paraphrase his own words, it was really more of a good news, bad news sort of situation. On one hand, the former leader of The Undisputed Era was back on a televised wrestling show, which is a pretty incredible thing considering he’s […]

Rudy Soho has been a member of AEW since all the way back in September of 2021, when she appeared in and ultimately won the Casino Battle Royale at All Out 2021 as the Joker entrant. Since then, Soho has competed for championships, feuded with Britt Baker, tagged with everyone from Toni Storm to Thunder […]

Andrade hasn’t been on AEW television since All Out 2022, when he was in the middle of an angle with Preston Vance, then of the Dark Order. Since that fateful match, Andrade reportedly got into a physical altercation with Sammy Guevara that turned from Twitter fingers to fisted fingers, complained online about his status, and […]

Welp, it’s official: Ace Steel has been fired from AEW. That’s right, after taking part in a massive backstage brawl after All Out that saw Nick Jackson get hit in the face with a steel chair, Kenny Omega suffer a brutal bitemark on his arm that was still visible weeks later when he made appearances […]

As AEW continues to soldier on without four of their biggest stars following a now-mythic backstage brawl, fans have continued to wonder what the status is of CM Punk, Kenny Omega, and the Young Bucks, Nick, and Matt Jackson within Tony Khan’s company. With lawsuits reportedly being threatened and The Elite side of the fight […]

Though they haven’t been on AEW programming since they won the AEW World Trios Championships with Kenny Omega at All Out, the Young Bucks kept on keeping on in their time away from the promotion they founded. The duo have been staying in shape, been spending time with their families, even more so now that […]

“Please allow me a few weeks or months to recalibrate myself. This is not goodbye, and we will see each other very soon.” These words, spoken on the mic by Malakai Black after his final scheduled match at Prestige Wrestling versus Kid Bandit on Saturday night per 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐕𝐞𝐧, marked the first time Black had spoken […]

Before fans were combing through every report, rumor, and reported rumor about the backstage brawl at the end of All Out that resulted in CM Punk, Kenny Omega, and the Young Bucks being suspended, there was a fight between Eddie Kingston and Sammy Guevara that resulted in the former being quietly taken off of television […]

Colt Cabana hasn’t been on AEW programming, be that television, Pay-Per-View, or even broadcast on YouTube, since AEW Dark #133, when he wrestled in a losing effort alongside Alan Angels as “Dark Order” in a loss to The Butcher and The Blade. His last match on television came in November of 2021 when Bryan Danielson […]

Welp, after taking part in the brawl of the century after All Out, a regular Chicago locker room fight, if you will, ex-AEW World Champion CM Punk has officially begun the rehab process… on his triceps. That’s right, while fans are still in the dark as to whether or not CM Punk is still suspended, […]

Bobby Fish really doesn’t like ex-AEW World Champion CM Punk. He doesn’t like that he uses a “shoot” style in the ring, doesn’t like his hubris, and if given a chance, he would straight-up fight the “Best in the World” if given a chance to mix it up in the octagon. Now, when Fish initially […]

Folks, it’s officially official: CM Punk has been removed as AEW World Champion. Now, as you may or may not know, this has been a long time coming, as Punk has been on a tear since he returned to AEW in August and the tension surrounding the situation reached a fever pitch during the media […]

When CM Punk came out of retirement to join AEW in August of 2021, it felt like a paradigm shift for the professional wrestling business. After over half a decade away from the ring following his incredibly firey burnout with WWE, Punk was propositioned by seemingly every professional wrestling promotion in the world to lace […]

After 296 days, Kenny Omega has recaptured a championship belt in AEW, becoming the inaugural World Trios Champion alongside the Young Bucks, Nick and Matt Jackson. Over that tenure, another new belt, the AEW All-Atlantic Championship, was christened, two more belts, the World Championship and the AEW Women’s Championship, had interim editions minted, and every […]

After taking a face full of black mist from Sting at the end of the penultimate match of AEW’s All Out, Malakai Black was pinned cleanly in the corner of the ring by Darby Allen following his signature Coffin Drop. On paper, this wasn’t a particularly unusual way to end the match. Sure, it would […]

Welp, there you go; after months of anticipation and a weird swerve where Jon Moxley secured the rights to call himself the World Champion for a little less than two weeks, CM Punk has officially been afforded an opportunity to hold AEW’s top strap above his head in the middle of the ring while thousands […]

And just when AEW fans thought masked men couldn’t ruin the integrity of another match, they were met with the interesting development of Luchasaurus, the typical friend of the newly re-minted “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry, turning on the second-generation entertainer and absolutely demolishing him before the bell even rang. It all started normally enough, with […]

When discussing the best modern champions in professional wrestling, a few teams routinely come to mind. There’s the Young Bucks and FTR of AEW, The Usos of WWE, and even the Briscoe Brothers, who have wrestled for Impact and GCW in addition to their prolific run in Ring of Honor But one team who doesn’t […]

AEW spent months building up Athena as the perfect person to defeat Jade Cargill and secure the TBS Championship. They did it all; they gave her a babyface faction that all got injured, they played up her prowess in the ring with an impressive string of wins against Cargill’s Baddies, and had the reigning TBS […]

The Casino Ladder Match is a time tradition in AEW that affords its winner a chance to challenge for a championship in exchange for the oversized poker chip hung from atop the middle of the ring. A sort of Money in the Bank without the intrigue of a whenever cashing, so far, no performer in […]

After exclusively defending his All-Atlantic Championship abroad, PAC finally earned an opportunity to defend his strap in an AEW ring, taking on the long-absent Kip Sabian during All Out Zero Hour. The results, unfortunately for Sabian, went about as people expected. Though Sabian gave it his all, wrestling against his fellow countryman in a spirited […]

Kip Sabian hasn’t been in an AEW ring in over 500 days. Granted, he’s been to countless Dynamites, Rampages, and even down to Orlando for Dark tapings with a suit on his back and a box on his head, but ever since he was taken out of action by Miro after the duo lost Arcade […]

After watching Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo secure a win for the Lucha Libre AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion despite being run over by an ATV and getting hit by a trashcan, AEW fans waited eagerly to see Hook, “The Cold Hearted Handsome Devil” make quick work over the less magical half of 2point0, […]

After months of anticipation, AEW’s All Out is officially here; soon, fans will find out who will become the inaugural AEW World Trios Championship, who will become the interim AEW Women’s Championship, and who will leave Chicago with the ultimate prize, the World Heavyweight Championship. There will be up and down, triumph and tragedy, and, […]

After months of anticipation, the wait is finally over: AEW’s All Out is officially here, and the fans both at home and assembled in Chicago are in for an all-timer. The show has already eclipsed a $1 million gate, marking the third-straight AEW Pay-Per-View to accomplish the feat, according to Tony Khan, and with 11 […]

When Tony Schiavone hit the locker room to discuss the injury Pres10 Vance suffered at the hands of the House of Black during the first round of the AEW World Trios Championship Tournament, fans had to know that something wasn’t quite right. Sure, this was an episode of Dynamite that saw The Wingmen storm the […]

When Tony Khan announced that the match between CM Punk and Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship was going to take place on AEW Dynamite instead of at All Out in the former’s hometown of Chicago, it shook the fibers of the AEW Galaxy, nay, the professional wrestling world to its core. Granted, it’s […]

FTR are CM Punk’s boys in AEW. The trio teamed together in Punk’s first match post-Double or Nothing and were reportedly going to work together once more at Forbidden Door had the then-newly minted AEW World Heavyweight Champion not suffered an injury that required him to temporarily vacate his spot. So naturally, when the greater […]

Though Thunder Rosa hasn’t been on AEW television since all the way back on August 10th, when the trio of Hikaru Shida and ThunderStorm won a trios match on Dark Elevation, her heat in Tony Khan’s company is at an all-time high. While it’s long been known that there is no love lost between Rosa […]

When news broke that Eddie Kingston wasn’t taking a tour around the indies as a sign of goodwill or to “give back” to his roots but instead undertook the endeavor because he was suspended due to a backstage interaction with Sammy Guevara based on an in-ring promo at Quake at the Lake that was ultimately […]

As if AEW’s penultimate edition of Dynamite before All Out couldn’t have been more impactful, the main event of the match – which somehow wasn’t Jon Moxley versus CM Punk – was interrupted by the return of none other than Kip Sabian. That’s right, after watching the AEW Galaxy develop from the front row of […]

For the second time in as many Pay-Per-Views, AEW will only be holding one tag team championship match. That’s right, much like at Forbidden Door, where the Young Bucks opted to wrestle alongside El Phantasmo as The Bullet Club in a bout versus the “Dudes with Attitudes,” Sting, Darby Allin, and Shingo Takagi, AEW’s All […]

When Jon Moxley entered the ring to face off against CM Punk in the penultimate match of an otherwise unassuming episode of AEW Dynamite, fans in attendance in Ohio knew they were in for a show. Goodness, this was the first time in the promotion’s history where two AEW World Champions would square off in […]

When AEW announced that Jon Moxley versus CM Punk would take place a few minutes after the one-hour mark of Dynamite, it generated an incredible amount of heat and intrigue around the professional wrestling world. Why wasn’t the match the main event? Would the show go long after 10 pm ET? And what about the […]

Say what you will about CM Punk in the ring, about his occasional botch, or his lack of exceptional cardio, but there’s nobody better on the mic in the industry today. Punk can open a show with nothing but a microphone and 15 minutes of time to kill, and can talk down or up any […]
