When Tony Khan announced the field for the 2023 Continental Classic, there was one match above all others that fans circled on the golden bracket: Swerve Strickland versus Jon Moxley. Suddenly, the hottest performer in AEW, fresh off one of the most incredible death matches you will see at Full Gear, was destined for a […]

When CM Punk announced to the professional wrestling world that he “Didn’t come here to make friends, I came here to make Money,” it immediately reminded more than a few fans of his feud with Jon Moxley in AEW, where the leader of the Blackpool Combat Club repeatedly reminded the “Second City Saint” that he […]

When news broke that Dean Ambrose’s contract with WWE was coming to an end in 2019, fans were incredibly interested to see what the man once and currently known as Jon Moxley would do next. Sure, AEW was just starting up, with the promotion adding a few former WWE stars like Pac and Chris Jericho […]

When Jon Moxley took the ring against Rey Fenix at AEW Grand Slam, few fans expected anything but a victory by the third-ranked wrestler in the latest edition of the PWI 500. Now granted, that didn’t mean the match couldn’t have been a lot of fun, as Fenix is one of the most talented luchadors […]

When Jon Moxley eventually hangs up his boots and submits himself to the toughest foe of his professional career, retirement, he has one, maybe two spots in WWE Hall of Fame on lock. A member of arguably the most important faction of the previous decade, The Shield, Moxley spent the better part of nine years […]

With the Pro Wrestling Illustrated 500 list rapidly hitting social media, fans from around the professional wrestling world have begun to debate who deserves the number one spot on the list, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Jon Moxley – who rank one, two, and three in a very The Shield-y coincidence – or another wrestler entirely. […]

When AEW announced that Orange Cassidy was going to wrestle Jon Moxley for the AEW International Championship in the main event of All Out, it left fans hungry to see what AEW had in store for their second Pay-Per-View in as many weeks. Would a match for a secondary title really hold up to MJF […]

Fresh off the heels of All In, AEW All Out is officially here; soon, fans will find out how AEW’s first Premium Live Event since CM Punk’s firing will go over and if an incredibly vocal Chicago crowd will fill the United Center with cheers for the current roster members or if they will instead […]

September 2nd, 2023, will go down in history as the day AEW fired CM Punk for his actions at All In. After a year of ups and downs, highs and lows, Championship matches – real and AXW – and backstage brawls, Tony Khan finally pulled the plug on the Phil Brooks experiment one day before […]

In the opinion of future WWE Hall of Famer Matt Hardy, before there was the Blackpool Combat Club, Jon Moxley’s collection of violent gentlemen that also features Bryan Danielson, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli, there was the BAR, a fighting faction back in The Fed that featured Sheamus and the current Ring of Honor World […]

There is one AEW star and one AEW alone who is taking part in the G1 Climax this year: Eddie Kingston. That’s right, while Forbidden Door proved that AEW has multiple performers deserving of the moniker of the “best wrestler in the world,” with Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega turning in all-time great performances that […]

When Eddie Kingston agreed to team with The Elite and Tomohiro Ishii against the Blackpool Combat Club – Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Konosuke Takeshita, and Shota “Shooter” Umino – at Forbidden Door, it was always going to be a mixed bag of emotions for the “Mad King,” but in practice, that assessment might […]

Claudio Castagnoli – then known as Cesaro – was a very friendly man during his run in WWE. A member of not one, not two, but three factions, working alongside Sheamus in the Bar, with Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger in the Real Americans – a funny faction for a man from Switzerland – and […]

Though Jon Moxley has been Jon Moxley-ing it up for over four years now, taking part in matches for AEW, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and indie promotions across the country, to a segment of the professional wrestling world, he will forever be known as Dean Ambrose, the third member of The Shield and only member […]

After making a name for herself in professional wrestling on the biggest stage of them all, working through pretty much every role a non-wrestler can fill in WWE, Renee Paquette has found a second berth in AEW, where she largely fills a backstage interviewer role in addition to the occasional sit-down with stars like Britt […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

After weeks of reintroducing Powerhouse Hobbs through his “The Book of Hobbs” video packages, AEW has firmly established the former Team Taz member as a legit main event-caliber star, with his choice of title shots at either the TNT, All-Atlantic, or World Championship. … actually, that’s not true. The first part is, AEW ran a […]

Though the next Tony Khan-produced Pay-Per-View is Revolution, where AEW will descend on San Francisco, California, for what’s shaping up to be a very good but very long show, the re-launch of Ring on Honor television presents a necessity for storylines to begin forming ahead of Supercard of Honor, which is scheduled to take place […]

Though Jon Moxley isn’t currently sitting pretty as the AEW World Champion, you wouldn’t know it by his workload, as the three-time champion has maintained a steady workload in Tony Khan’s company and beyond with his “Night at the Moxbury” event a resounding success for Wrestling Revolver. Speaking on The Justin Kinner Show, Moxley explained […]

Jon Moxley and “Hangman” Adam Page don’t like each other. Two of the first four AEW World Champions, an exclusive fraternity years in the making that was ultimately sullied by the back-and-forth booking of CM Punk and Mox in 2022, the duo have been feuding ever since the Blackpool Combat Club veteran knocked Page so […]

After leaving Jon Moxley in an altered state of consciousness after their Los Angeles-based rematch, Renee Paquette tried to catch up with the former AEW World Champion to find out what his plans are moving forward on the following edition of Dynamite. *Spoiler alert* Page didn’t feel like sharing. While Paquette did get the “Hangman” […]

Folks, it’s official: “Hangman” Adam Page versus Jon Moxley is happening. The doctors have signed off on the deal, both performers have agreed to the bout, and when the lights go up in the “Fabulous” Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on Wednesday, January 11, Page and Mox will go toe-to-toe in the ring, or maybe […]

After having his big turn on Keith Lee on the final AEW Dynamite of the year, Swerve Strickland received his first opportunity at an in-ring opponent on Rampage, where he was booked to face off against the Ring of Honor Pure Champion, Wheeler Yuta, in a main event singles contest. Needless t0 say, it did […]

Though it feels like William Regal has been out of AEW for months, as his request not to have his contract renewed has been one of the hottest stories in wrestling this year, His Lordship was still technically an employee of Tony Khan’s company until December 29th, even if he wasn’t a featured part of […]

What makes some former WWE performers work in AEW while others don’t has to be one of the biggest questions Tony Khan asks himself any time a new round of releases comes down from Titan Towers. Would a performer like Andrade, who traveled the world and worked everywhere from Lucha Libre AAA to New Japan […]

MJF hasn’t even been the AEW World Champion for a month, and he’s already begun to elevate the title… just not in the ring. That’s right, unlike Jon Moxley, who was a certified fighting champion, or Kenny Omega, who took the show on the road to Impact and Lucha Libre AAA in addition to his […]

Wrestling fans, it’s official; William Regal’s time in AEW will be over in January, when he leaves the promotion he joined back in March of 2022 to return to WWE. Tony Khan talked about it during his media call before Ring of Honor Final Battle, Moxley asked him to “run” and MJF followed that up […]

After seemingly putting an end to William Regal’s run in AEW once and for all – though, in actuality, that might have happened later in the show – Jon Moxley returned to Dynamite live from Indianapolis with a bone to pick. Not with anyone in particular, mind you, he didn’t come out and challenge MJF […]

With one fateful statement on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer whipped the entire professional wrestling world into a frenzy: William Regal’s contract with AEW was only for one year, and it “would not surprise me” – me being Meltzer – if he returns to WWE to work with his good friend Paul “Triple H” once […]

When William Regal slid a pair of brass knuckles to MJF during the pivotal moment of his main event match with Jon Moxley during Full Gear, it changed the tenor of AEW forever. Suddenly, the Blackpool Combat Club was forever changed, as was the relationship fans had with MJF, who was in the middle of […]

Though she’s only been a member of the AEW broadcast team for a little over a month, it’s safe to say the addition of Renee Paquette, who went by the name Renee Young in WWE, has been a resounding success. Working largely as a backstage interviewer who has expanded out to some sitdown interviews in […]

When MJF walked into the back of the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, at the end of Full Gear, he officially added a qualifier to his expansive list of titles. That’s right, joining “The Salt of the Earth,” “I’m Better than you and you know it,” and “Pete Lightning” – when he’s feeling nostalgic […]

Welp, it’s official: AEW has a new World Champion. That’s right, after having Jon Moxley work his behind off in place of CM Punk on not one but two separate occasions, forgoing his planned vacation each time, AEW has a new sheriff in town, and he’s “Better than you, and you know it.” Taking the […]

Folks, it’s here, it’s finally here: AEW Full Gear. Soon, Tony Khan will deliver 10 hard-hitting matches loaded with drama, suspense, and intrigue and may even turn over a championship or two for good measure. Fans will see the return of The Elite, who hasn’t graced AEW television outside of the vanishing video package, the […]

When the clock strikes midnight, and it officially becomes Sunday, November 20th, MJF very well may be the new and reigning AEW World Champion. That’s right, since officially joining AEW on a five-year contract in 2019 and making his debut for the company at Double or Nothing in the Casino Battle Royale on the pre-show, […]
