With nearly every title being defended, will the greatest match of the night be Sting and Darby defending their tag belts, Samoa Joe defending against the fire and ice of Hangman Page & Swerve Strickland, or the non-title AEW debut of Will By-God Ospreay?

All Elite Wrestling's last show of 2023 had some last minute injury changes to the card, but still managed to find some high-melodrama closings to the chapters of certain stories. Watching it, perhaps we can divine what the next year will bring for he entire roster? [more inside]

AEW Collision: December 9, 2023 (& Rampage, December 8) Season 1, Ep 26
Some tournament hopes are dashed, because the Continental Classic is a points-based tournament... and the numbers don't lie. Also, Kenny Omega in singles action, Pirate Bryan Danielson wrestles twice this week, and some smark favorites (Abadon! Danhausen! Orange Cassidy!) show up to play. Rampage and Collision were both pre-taped in Canada last week, so if the crowd seemed extra behind certain talent, now you know why. [more inside]

(This post is going up late because of NY Comic Con, so some commentary borrowed from Wrestling Observer.) [more inside]
AEW Collision: October 7, 2023 Season 1, Ep 17
Things AEW is not afraid to do repeatedly: (1) Make tag-team wrestling important. (2) Give someone signed away from WWE some good runway time to build to their first official match. (3) Hurt Darby Allin very badly. [more inside]

Following the extremely successful All In at Wembley Stadium, AEW President Tony Khan announced WrestleDream, to be held on the anniversary of the death of Japanese wrestling legend Antonio Inoki, at Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena.

AEW Collision: September 9, 2023 Season 1, Ep 13
If tonight's episode of Collision seems a bit heavy on the promos, it's because Tony has AEW Grand Slam in two weeks and is down one Zaslav-approved headliner. Not to worry, he's going to fill the gap with tournament semi-finals, title defenses and a quartet of luchadors! [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: AEW All Out (2023) Season 4, Ep 10000
Well folks, I said that this would be a big week for pro wrestling, and I was even more right than I realized. Tonight AEW will try to end the week on a high note in front of an arena full of Chicagoans who are primed to be very vocal. [more inside]
AEW Collision: September 2, 2023 Season 1, Ep 12
And so it has come to pass: Sightly more than two years after CM Punk became All Elite, Tony Khan announced his immediate termination, with cause, for starting a backstage fight with Jack Perry at ALL IN last week. Inexcusably, inarguably, in full view of security cameras, other talent, and Papa Tony himself. Expect crowd reactions like no other in Chicago for Collision tonight and All Out tomorrow! [more inside]
Special Event: All Elite Wrestling presents ALL IN (2023)
Five years ago, Cody Rhodes made a bet with Dave Meltzer that an indie wrestling show could sell 10,000 tickets, and then he and the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega changed the business.

Go-Home Show Week concludes, as AEW is one sleep away from "The Biggest Event of Wrestling History". We've already seen half of London's competitors on this week's Dynamite, so here comes Collision to introduce you to the other half (and a few people who, alas, won't be there.) [more inside]
AEW Collision: August 19 Season 1, Ep 10
Papa Tony is keeping cards close to his chest tonight, as only three matches are confirmed pre-show while the other segments are mostly "A Wrestler you like will... do something!" Let's all shiver with anticipation! (As a reminder, tonight's collision, like Dynamite and Rampage before it, are soliciting donations to the Maui Food Bank.) [more inside]
AEW Collision: August 12 Season 1, Ep 9
If you like tag team matches, you're going to like this episode. If you looooove tag matches, you're going to love this episode. Also, if your "Miro Alert" watch went off, this episode is the reason. (Late post b/c I was out yesterday, match results below the cut.) [more inside]
AEW Collision: August 5 Season 1, Ep 8
Just like Dynamite celebrated their 200th episode with great matches for all kinds of wrestling fans, Collision celebrate their 8th episode by... (checks notes)... putting three title matches head-to-head against SummerSlam? Are you serious? [more inside]

AEW Collision: July 22 Season 1, Ep 6
Yours truly was exhausted yesterday after being live for Ring Of Honor: Death Before Dishonor (hey kids! You can spot me when Chuckie T throws Fenix into the crowd!) and so couldn't make this post pre-Collision, so let me excerpt our recaps from The Wrestling Observer! [more inside]
AEW Collision: July 15 (& Battle of the Belts VII) Season 1, Ep 5

You know what this is. After going nearly a year without, Tony Khan is going to find out if CM Punk is still the same draw he was the last time he made his appearance at Chicago's United Center. Papa Tony has assembled a roster of talent who (hopefully) won't have an issue working with him, let's find out how good a show they can put on! [more inside]
