As crazy as it may sound, Saraya has only been a member of AEW since September, when the former WWE Superstar made her surprise debut at Night 1 of Grand Slam. Since then, she’s helped book a lumberjack match, put over stars like Willow Nightengale, and began a war of words with Britt Baker that […]

Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee haven’t been on the same page in AEW since all the way back in June, when the former seemingly turned on the latter in the Interim World Title #2 Contendership Casino Battle Royale. Fans wondered why Strickland, who had seemingly found his perfect partner in the AEW Galaxy, would turn […]

For the second time on the AEW Full Gear card, Tony Khan booked a championship match with more than two performers in the ring. That’s right, after seemingly building towards a singles bout at Full Gear between Wardlow and Powerhouse Hobbs for weeks, things got interesting when Samoa Joe, the former’s tag team partner in […]

A lot has happened since the last time Saraya wrested a professional wrestling match; America has a new president, England has a new Monarch, and cryptocurrency went from a one-liner in the movie Dope, to something worthy of Super Bowls ads, to, well, sort of useless once more. The last time Saraya wrestled, she was […]

Jade Cargill had wrestled 42 AEW matches before she took the ring at Full Gear. All but two of those matches were of the singles variety – with her lone other appearances coming in the Casino Battle Royale at All Out 2021 and her debut match with Shaq– and yet, no matter who Tony Khan […]

There was a time when Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus were one of the biggest babyface tag teams in AEW. Two-thirds of the now-defunct Jurassic Express alongside Marko Stunt, JB, and Luchasaurus, won dozens of matches, beat many of the top tag teams in AEW, and even won the tag team championships after securing the W […]

Before Eddie Kingston and Ortiz took the ring against Team DDT, Konosuke Takeshita, and Jun Akiyama on the final Rampage before AEW Full Gear, the “Mad King” was asked what it was like to face off against one of his wrestling influences – one of the men who spurned on his in-ring interest in the […]

When news broke that the final match of the Full Gear AEW World Championship Eliminators Tournament would not, in fact, take place at Full Gear, it left many a fan scratching their heads. Sure, getting the match, which would have featured either Brian Cage, Lance Archer, or Ricky Starks facing off against Ethan Page, onto […]

When the teams of The Factory and Best Friends emerged from the back in time for the first match of AEW Full Gear‘s pre-show, something wasn’t quite right. The members of The Factory came out first, with QT Marshall, Aaron Solo, Nick Comoroto, Cole Karter, and Lee Johnson all walking down to the ring before […]

Danhausen has been a fixture of AEW since January of 2022, when he made his surprise debut at Beach Break in the main event match between Adam Cole and Orange Cassidy. Since that fateful date, Danhausen has joined Best Friends, formed an unlikely tag team with Hook that was affectionately nicknamed Hookhausen, and wrestled a […]

After AEW Dynamite went off the air, MJF took the ring alongside Tony Khan and cut one heck of a babyface promo after his in-ring interaction with Jon Moxley but before their match at Full Gear for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. “A lot of bullsh*t has gone on.” MJF said to the crowd after […]

Heading into Full Gear 2022, AEW is having a tournament to decide who will become the first number-one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship after either Jon Moxley or MJF leaves The Rock in Newark, New Jersey with the strap. Dubbed the “World Title Eliminator Tournament” for obvious reasons, things took an interesting turn when […]

Folks, The Elite, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, are officially back in AEW…ish. That’s right, after semi-returning with a video segment erasing their history from Tony Khan’s promotion a few weeks ago and then following it up with more packages in subsequent weeks, images of Omega and the Jacksons, Nick and Matt, appeared on […]

As AEW pushes closer and closer to deciding on the winner of the “World Title Eliminator Tournament,” fans have been left with more questions than answers about who will inevitably face off against each other at Full Gear, live from Newark, New Jersey. What happened to Ricky Starks, who was supposed to wrestle “The Murderhawk […]

MJF really doesn’t like Jon Moxley. A pair of AEW originals who have been around each other since before Dynamite began airing for fans at 8 pm on either TNT or TBS, the duo have only wrestled once before, at All Out 2020, but the rematch is shaping up to be all the more consequential, […]

Ah WarJoe; the AEW Galaxy barely knew them. That’s right, after thoroughly taking care of business against Ari Daivari on AEW Dynamite after the Trust-Busting money mark tried to buy his TNT Championship, Wardlow took the mic and declared to Powerhouse Hobbs, who has been going after him for weeks, that he wasn’t simply happy […]

As AEW inches closer and closer to Full Gear, current World Champion Jon Moxley sat down with The Enquirer in his hometown of Cincinnati about non-alcoholic beer, his wife, and most importantly, sobriety and how it has helped him both inside and outside of the ring. “Over a year ago, I was afraid of dying […]

In case you haven’t heard, Fightful Select is reporting that Kenny Omega’s return to AEW is in the not-too-distant future, with Tony Khan and company already readying their roster for the “Best Bout Machine’s” eventual return. All things considered, this is very good news indeed. Though Omega’s absence has been for the right reasons both […]

CM Punk‘s status in AEW is one of the biggest questions surrounding the promotion during the summer of 2022. On one hand, his injury wasn’t bad enough to require him to outright relinquish his title. If he suffered a Santana-esque ACL injury that would cost him 8-16 months, then Jon Moxley’s belt would be a […]

11 years ago, AEW World Champion CM Punk defeated John Cena at Money in the Bank to become the WWE Champion. This match, which also featured Vince McMahon threatening to have Cena fired if he didn’t win and Alberto Del Rio almost cashing in his MitB briefcase before eating a roundhouse kick, ushered in the […]
