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 […]

At 70, Jim Ross knows that his time in professional wrestling is almost done; after having his career rejuvenated as part of the inaugural Dynamite commentary team alongside Excalibur and Tony Schiavone, AEW has been slowly moving away from having Ross as their lead announcer, with Taz taking over his spot on Wednesday nights. Now […]

When news broke that Jon Moxley had signed a new deal with AEW that would keep him under contract through 2027, it was met with almost universal acclaim. A three-time champion who has risen to the occasion every time AEW has called his number, Moxley was reportedly working without a contract heading into All Out, […]

Jon Moxley has a problem; after winning the AEW World Championship for the third time since January of 2020 at Grand Slam, the top dog in the Blackpool Combat Club is running out of opponents. Sure, there’s always MJF, who already has a match booked for Full Gear in Newark, New Jersey, in November, but […]

On paper, Tony Khan did a bang-up job of building up towards his big-time, high-stakes main event of Tuesday Night AEW Dynamite between Jon Moxley and “Hangman” Adam Page. He had the Cowboys win the Grand Slam Golden Ticket Battle Royal to decide on a new number one contender, gave the duo television time to […]

After months of anticipation, Renee Paquette has finally made her debut in AEW, joining husband Jon Moxley in Tony Khan’s promotion. Though the pairing seemed like a borderline no-brainer, as WWE’s decision to fire Paquette was immediately viewed as a mistake, the interviewer/pundit/occasional commentator opted against AEW, or any other wrestling promotion for that matter, […]

Jon Moxley has arguably been the MVP of AEW for the 2022 calendar year. He stepped up to replace CM Punk as the promotion’s Interim World Champion when required surgery, defeated the “The Best In The World” to unify the interim title with the proper one, and after dropping the strap in an entertaining contest […]

When WWE released Renne Paquette, aka the RAW backstage interviewer/color commentator known to the Universe as Renee Young, from her contract, it felt like a no-brainer that she would eventually land in AEW. She had connections to many members of the AEW roster from her time with The Fed, interviewed many of the promotion’s stars […]

After beginning his third tenure as AEW World Champion at Grand Slam, Jon Moxley has been rewarded with a new five-year extension that will keep him with the promotion until 2027. That’s right, gone are the hopes for a Dean Ambrose return in WWE  – or even a Jon Moxley match on a WWE x […]

After watching two titles change hands at Grand Slam – three if you count the vacant World Championship – AEW is immediately putting the straps on the line once more with not one but two championship matches scheduled for the fallout edition of Dynamite coming to fans live from the “Home of Extreme,” Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. […]

Wardlow has been AEW’s TNT Champion for 82 days and counting. He took the belt off of Scorpio Sky on his second try in a Rochester Street Fight on the July 6th edition of Dynamite, defended the belt on four occasions, including versus Orange Cassidy at Fyter Fest and Jay Lethal at Battle of the […]

It looks like Jon Moxley won’t be taking it easy as AEW World Champion any time soon. That’s right, after defeating fellow Blackpool Combat Club member Bryan Danielson in a barn burner of a match on Wednesday at Grand Slam for the belt, Mox already had his next two opponents in line by the end […]

On a show defined by setup and payoffs, with Chris Jericho’s underhanded win over Claudio Castagnoli spurning on a rare disqualification victory for Sammy Guevara following Eddie Kingston’s refusal to release a choke on the passed-out star, the main event – excluding the lights out match – of Rampage Grand Slam was the “Grand Slam […]

When Tony Khan made the decision to debut Saraya mere moments before the main event of AEW’s Grand Slam, he was putting a ton of pressure on Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson to put on a show worthy of standing alongside the roster’s addition, instead of falling into its shadow. Fortunately, Mox and BD are […]

After two weeks of excitement, intrigue, and suspension-induced drama, AEW has officially decided on who will represent the promotion in the main event of Grand Slam, the televised special event scheduled to be broadcast from fro Arther Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, on the next episode of Dynamite: Jon Moxley vs. Bryan Danielson. Yes, […]

Bryan Danielson didn’t just come to AEW to be average. He didn’t forgo a healthy paycheck and a chance to work for the company where his wife is a Hall of Famer just to coast on his name recognition, wrestle the occasional match, and fade off into the sunset with a new collection of fans […]

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, […]

After promising an incredibly consequential episode of AEW Dynamite on Twitter, Tony Khan delivered, with the President/CEO/head booker officially stripping CM Punk and The Elite trio of Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson of their championship belts ahead of the company’s Grand Slam show at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City. Surprising? Only […]

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, […]

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 […]

On the penultimate edition of Dynamite before All Out, the fate of the AEW World Championship was officially decided. There would be no more “interim” labels, no more dueling profiles under the champions headline on the AEW roster page, and no more discussion over who deserved the proper label, Jon Moxley or CM Punk. No, […]

When CM Punk dropped a stunner and his AEW World Championship to Jon Moxley in a matter of minutes – single-digit minutes, to be more specific – it was an absolute stunner. Excalibur, JR, and company were all shocked on commentary, Mox talked his talk backstage about how it’s his time to shine, and wrestling […]

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 […]

For one reason or another, fans have been debating which member of the WWE faction, The Shield, is the best wrestler. Some prefer Roman Reigns, the current Unsidputed WWE Universal Champion who has held the RAW belt for over 700 days and has genuinely dominated the wrestling world for about two years now. Reigns hasn’t […]

As you may or may not know, in addition to being the AEW Interim World Champion, Jon Moxley is also the current GCW World Champion, having held the belt for 344 days and counting since he took it off of one-time AEW performer Matt Cardona on September 4th, 2021.  He’s defended the strap on five […]

Unlike in the WWE, where rematches come fast and lose on both television and house shows, AEW has been much more stingy with giving fans a second bite of a big-time bout. Sure, some matches get replayed over and over again, with Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss going to war for months on AEW Dark […]

When Chris Jericho, in his newly re-tailored Lionheart getup, took the ring against the Interim AEW World Champion Jon Moxley as the main event of Quake by the Lake, fans knew they were going to be treated to an exciting event they’d remember forever, but goodness, it’s hard to imagine anyone saw what was coming, […]

On a night that will live forever in the annals of professional wrestling history for Karrion Kross’ return to the WWE, Tony Khan had a few tricks up his sleeve for the live edition of Rampage, with the debuts of not one, not two, but three new wrestlers on AEW television. That’s right, with Battle […]

In wrestling, one match can change everything. One match secured Eddie Kingston a contract, suspended “The Summer of Punk” until probably Halloween, and one match played a part in convincing Tony Khan that another big-time wrestling promotion like AEW could run in the United States with the likes of Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega serving […]

After turning in an absolutely enthralling bout against his brother/fellow Los Ingobernables member Dragon Lee at Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor, Rush is riding the momentum and putting his 10-match win streak on the line at AEW‘s Fight for the Fallen, where he will take on Interim Champion Jon Moxley for the strap in […]

Well, AEW‘s Fyter Fest Night 3 is officially in the books, and goodness, what a show it was. Swerve in our Glory was celebrated in a segment that also featured rapper Kevin Gates, Ricky Starks retained his FTW Title against the artist formerly known as Troy “Two Dimes” Donovan (Cole Karter) only to be challenged […]

For a few years in the early 2010s, there wasn’t a cooler faction in the WWE than The Shield; they wore cool, all-black gear with potentially unnecessary kevlar vests, featured three of the top up-in-coming future main eventers in Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean “Eventually Jon Moxley” Ambrose, and after going on a very […]

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 […]

When CM Punk went down with a broken foot that robbed him of another “Summer of Punk,” it felt like a massive blow to the immediate plans and overall landscape of AEW. After three years of largely sticking to the plan, with Tony Khan booking long and healthy title runs for each of his handpicked, […]

When Brody King outlasted the competition in AEW’s inaugural post-Blood and Guts Rampage Royal to become the first challenger for Jon Moxley’s Interim World Championship, it created a very intriguing matchup for the two-time title holder. Though fans of Tony Khan’s promotion mostly know King for his efforts in tag team action, having wrestled just […]

When Brody King pulled out the win in the inaugural AEW Royal Rampage, it turned more than a few heads across the greater wrestling world. In a match that featured some incredibly wholesome spots between John Silver and “Hangman” Adam Page, more incredible moves by Konosuke Takeshita, and the in-ring debut of Rush – who […]

The AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door main event between Jon Moxley and Hiroshi Tanahashi was one hell of a match. The two wrestlers put on a bloody good show in front of the fans. However, it seemed like two fans decided they wanted their own mini-match during the main event. During the Moxley-Tanahashi main event, […]
