As the professional wrestling community prepares to hear from the Young Bucks for the first time since Full Gear back in November, with Nick and Matt Jackson returning to Dynamite to effectively lay down the challenge for Sting and Darby Allin ahead of the former’s final match, the discourse has again opened up about just […]

When AEW Collision was announced for Charlotte, North Carolina, it felt like a borderline guarantee that Sting‘s manager, the “Nature Boy” himself, Ric Flair, would be a fixture of the program. A native of Memphis, Tenessee, Flair cut his teeth in the south working for Jim Crockett’s promotion and continued that trend into the 1980s […]

What will happen to Ric Flair when Sting officially hangs up his boots in the spring at the end of Revolution? Will he take a step back from his relatively regular bookings in AEW, appearing for “mainstream” media matters and on sporadic shows but nothing else? Or will he instead take on a new client, […]

After surviving – literally – his first taste of action in AEW at Full Gear, Ric Flair made his semi-anticipated return to weekly television on Dynamite, when the “Nature Boy” and his best friend Sting helped Tony Schiavone reveal the location of Revolution: The Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina. Interesting stuff, right? Stinger gets to […]

When Sting debuted for AEW and returned to professional wrestling for his first extended stint since 2015, fans had to know he was in it for a good time, not a long time. Sure, despite being in his 60s, the Stinger has seemingly found the fountain of youth, or at least figured out a way […]

After making the vague announcement that Sting would be addressing the AEW audience on Dynamite, fans waited with bated breath to see what the 63-year-old had to say. Would he be announcing some new venture? Addressing his part in the situation between Adam Copeland and Christian Cage? Or would he be delivering his dreaded retirement […]

Though Keith Lee and Dustin Rhodes technically got one over on the Mogul Affiliates before Revolution, Swerve Strickland has insisted online that his AEW faction is going strong, with Parker Boudreaux and Trench just needing a bit more seasoning to get over in Tony Khan’s company. Appearing on Say Less With Kaz, Lowkey, and Rosy […]

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 tapping out of his own finisher following a 67-minute Ironman match against MJF at Revolution, Bryan Danielson felt crushed for more reasons than one. Afforded a chance to address the AEW Galaxy, “The American Dragon” let it be known that he was sorry he let the people who matter the most to him down: […]

After securing a huge win at Revolution over Bryan Danielson in a 67-minute Ironman match, MJF was riding high, as his pickle-heavy interactions during the post-show media scrum clearly proved. Fortunately, AEW decided to get him on camera before he hit the showers to cut a promo on his future plans in AEW, and he […]

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 […]

After securing his first-ever AEW Pay-Per-View victory at Revolution, Ricky Starks was riding high. He’d beaten Chris Jericho for the second time in 2023 – a feat no one else had accomplished – got his hug with Tony Khan, and boldly declared that he was ready to compete for championship gold, and could even see […]

When FTR, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, emerged at the end of the penultimate match at AEW Revolution to get into a little brawl with the once and current AEW World Tag Team Champions, The Gunns, it felt like a big deal. Sure, technically, Harwood had been priming fans for the return for weeks, noting […]

After officially throwing in her lot with The Outsiders, Saraya and Toni Storm, at the end of her match at Revolution – even if it would have made more sense to turn on Jamie Hayter during the match to better her championship-winning odds – Ruby Soho is out for blood in AEW. She doesn’t seem […]

After sitting through question-asking sessions with MJF, Ricky Starks, and Wardlow, Tony Khan finally opened himself up for questions with the assembled media at the end of Revolution and was asked one of the most pressing quandaries on the minds of AEW fans around the world: what is going on with Kenny Omega? “I think […]

After watching Wardlow submit “The Samoan Submission Machine,” Samoa Joe, with his own move at Revolution, reporters were eager to as a few questions to “Mr. Mayhem” about what his second run with the AEW belt would look like. Did he have any wrestlers in mind that he would like to wrestle? Or any other […]

After going the distance against Chris Jericho at Revolution and securing his first-ever win on an AEW Pay-Per-View, Ricky Starks was riding high. Moseying on back to the media scrum for a little back-and-forth action with the assembled reporters, Starks took a seat next to Tony Khan and did his darn thing, with his suave […]

After securing a massive win over “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson in 60 minutes and change at Revolution, MJF was riding high. He got the accolades, he got the glory, and he got to keep his prized possession, The Triple B, the only thing keeping him from “calling it a day.” So naturally, when the […]

When AEW announced that Bryan Danielson and MJF were going to take part in a 60 Minute Iron Man match at Revolution, it drew quite the reaction from professional wrestling fans the world over. Who would secure the win, the best in-ring wrestler in the entire world, a man so good he quite literally has […]

When the make-shift tag team of Orange Cassidy and Danhausen, technically wrestling under the Best Friends flag, were named as the final team for the Tag Team Fatal Fourway at Revolution alongside The Gunns, Triple J, and The Acclaimed, it came as a minor disappointment for fans desperate to see FTR make another run at […]

When Wardlow got in the ring with Samoa Joe, he wasn’t exclusively looking to retain the AEW TNT Championship belt he held during the final days of 2022. Sure, becoming a two-time TNT Champion certainly was on Wardlow’s to-do list, as he was never technically pinned for the strap and instead watched Powerhouse Hobbs eat […]

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 […]

Some matches tell a story. The bout between “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry and Christian Cage at Revolution certainly falls into that category, as does the bout between Chris Jericho and Ricky Starks, and even the AEW World Trios Championship match between The House of Black and The Elite served as 15-minute vignette so entertaining that […]

All rise to acknowledge the new AEW World Champions, The House of Black. Though their match with The Elite had basically no build-up whatsoever, with a few moments on AEW television to set up a pretty consequential title match an, um, interesting choice, you’d think the two teams has been working matches forever, as the […]

Ricky Starks has Chris Jericho’s number in AEW. Since the duo became opponents in 2023, “Stroke Daddy” has consistently found ways to get one over on the leader of The Jericho Appreciation Society, even if the JAS has largely been the difference maker in their feud. Still, after tricking “The Ocho” into accepting a match […]

Mark Briscoe is really over. Since officially signing with AEW in February and making his in-ring debut for the promotion a few weeks prior, Sussex County Chicken has been capturing the hearts of new fans and revitalizing the passions of old fans alike and even found some new, old friends in the Lucha Brothers, whom […]

It’s here, it’s finally here: Revolution is upon us, AEW fans. Soon, fans will find out if Bryan Danielson will add the AEW World Championship to his already impressive resume, if The Gunns will go down as the shortest World Tag Team Champions in the promotion’s history, and which side Ruby Soho will ultimately fall […]

A lot of great AEW World Tag Team Championship matches have been wrestled at Revolution since the Pay-Per-View ran its maiden voyage in February of 2020. From The Elite Civil War between Kenny Omega and “Hangman” Adam Page versus the Young Bucks in 2020, to Young Bucks-Inner Circle – Chris Jericho and MJF – in […]

After watching multiple segments on a jam-packed edition of Dynamite run long, Bryan Danielson was afforded just under seven minutes for the main event of the final Wednesday night show before Revolution, where he will wrestle MJF in a 60-Minute Ironman match for the AEW World Championship. Fortunately, Danielson didn’t have to work another qualifying […]

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 […]

When Renee Paquette let it be known that Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta were unable to compete in the Casino Battle Royal on the final AEW Dynamite before Revolution, it left the match down one team with barely any time to find another entrant. Fortunately, Tony Khan didn’t have to look very long to find […]

When Action Andretti beat Chris Jericho in a “tune-up” match on AEW Dynamite, it was a big deal. The win instantly made Andretti a star, secured him an AEW contract, and afforded him opportunities to appear on podcasts like AEW Unrestricted, the official podcast of the company. And as for Jericho? Well, this loss thrust […]

When Excalibur plowed through the matches for fans to expect on the next episode of AEW Dynamite on the final Rampage of the month of February, the masked commentator announced the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match, which will be on television for the first time in the match’s history. Going through each participant, Excalibur […]

After falling short in “The Guevara-Garcia Gauntlet” on AEW Dynamite due to interference from a masked Chris Jericho, Ricky Starks came to the penultimate edition of the Wednesday night show with a plan to not only get himself on the Revolution card but secure a match with his perfered opponent, “The Ocho,” too. Walking down […]

Taking the ring after completing MJF’s gauntlet of would-be challengers on the penultimate edition of AEW Dynamite before Revolution, “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson has a simple question for the fans in Phoenix, Arizona: why does MJF hate him? “Boy, is it great to be back in Phoenix, Arizona?” Danielson asked the crowd, who replied […]

MJF did not want to appear on the penultimate AEW Dynamite of the month of February. If he had his way, he’d likely be hanging out with his fiance on Statin Island looking at new blue Camaros, but alas, Tony Khan wrote it into his contract that he had to appear, so, ever the professional […]

After a month away, Wardlow returned to AEW television with one thing and one thing only on his mind: revenge. After having his TNT Championship taken without being pinned in a “Triple Threat” match at Full Gear that also featured Powerhouse Hobbs, Wardlow was bested once more by the “Samoan Submission Machine” at New Year’s […]

With Revolution right around the corner, Tony Khan has been doing the rounds on professional wrestling media to talk all things AEW. Naturally, considering the current state of the company, one performer Khan has been fielding questions about is MJF, the current AEW World Champion, and maybe a murder, depending on the results of the […]

Heading into Dynamite, the pressure was on for MJF to show up and show out against the “Japanese Phenomenon,” Konosuke Takeshita, in an eliminator match for the AEW World Championship On paper, MJF had the clear advantage; he’s the AEW World Champion, hasn’t lost a match since May of 2022 at Double or Nothing, and […]
