AEW Dynamite brings its fifth year of television to a close in style. As they did last year and the year before, the show comes (possibly for the last time?) to NYC’s Arthur Ashe Stadium.

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: AEW All Out (2024) Season 5, Ep 10000
We've come once again to the anniversary of All Elite Wrestling's inaugural show as a new promotion. Last year in Chicago... had a lot to overcome, but AEW is having a Hot Wrestling Autumn, coming off a well-received return to Wembley Stadium and headed towards Grand Slam in NYC later this month. A lot of matches tonight, but the main focus will be on (1) Danielson placing an "I Win Or I Quit" stipulation on all his title matches, (2) WIll Ospreay facing a fellow countryman with whom he has a history, and (3) Swerve and Hangman are going to MURDER each other in a cage.

Special Event: All Elite Wrestling presents ALL IN: London (2024)
Last year, the upstart wrestling promotion that started on a bet upped the ante by booking themselves into England's largest stadium, and wound up putting on the largest-attended show in three decades.. Now AEW returns to Wembley Stadium, with a main event pitting their current champion on a giant hot streak against literally one of the best wrestlers alive. [more inside]
AEW Collision: August 24, 2024 (& Rampage, August 23) Season 2, Ep 11
Oh the irony, one of the nights when I can catch Collision live it's actually pre-taped from AEW's visit to Cardiff! Oh well, the go-home show that's one sleep before All In: London 2024 features two separate trios matches, some classic little man vs. big man action, a mixed-tag teaser, plus AMC's Ben Mankiewicz lending his golden voice to the Toni Storm/Mariah May clash. [more inside]

Not only is the first episode in five years to air from outside of North America, not only do we get two championship matches, but it's also this the go-home episode before All In: London. Ratchet up the tension, Tony! [more inside]

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: July 24: BLOOD AND GUTS Season 5, Ep 43
I hope you have your Muta Scales properly calibrated. Tonight's the night when Team Elite -- the EVPs of the company and their favorite stooges -- take on Team AEW -- an alliance of two rappers, one suicidal punk, one redneck chicken and the AEW World Champion -- in a double-sized cage with no rules and a bunch of weapons. Before that, Britt Baker makes her return against newly-heelish Hikaru Shida, Chris Jericho defends his FTW championship against Crazy Japanese Murder Grandpa, and MJF and Mariah May will both make appearances to soak in the crowd's adoration.

When the Lord (or Tony Khan) closes a Forbidden Door, he also opens the path towards All In at Wembley, which this week seems to paved with two great tournament matches, two welcome returns, and two dastardly heel turns. [more inside]
Special Event: AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door (2024)
Once is an event, twice is a coincidence, and the third time is a new institution in professional wrestling. Tonight, the talent rosters of All Elite Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling, which have already gotten comfortable with each others these past few years, will once again battle, this time sharing the stage with visitors from World Wonder Ring Stardom (NJPW's sister joshi promotion), and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre.

AEW Collision: June 15, 2024 (and Rampage, June 14) Season 2, Ep 1
Wow, the first episode of Collision seems so recent, yet at the same time so long ago. What began as roster split centered on which members could share a weekly show with CM Punk now stands on it's own, celebrating a full year with some Ring Of Honor visitors, a no-DQ women's match, a massive 4-on-4 main event, and Christian Cage being your daddy. [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: June 12, 2024 Season 5, Ep 37
Dynamite has a lot of heavy lifting to do tonight: not only do they need to compete in the ratings tonight with NBA finals, Tony Khan wants to put up good ratings numbers against NXT headed into TV rights negotiations. So let's do that with two title matches -- both featuring champs vs. luchadors, interestingly -- plus California vs Texas in a TNT qualifier! [more inside]

AEW Collision: June 1, 2024 (& Rampage May 31) Season 1, Ep 48
This week's Collision mostly stayed away from the events of Double Or Nothing while slightly laying groundwork for the upcoming Forbidden Door. We got lots of strong acrobatic boys showing off (including a returning Lio Rush), plus a visit from one of NJPW's rising tag teams and AAA's luchadoras! [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: May 29, 2024 Season 5, Ep 35
With Double Or Nothing In the rear view, the show catches its breath and assesses damages, both real — TNT champ Adam Copeland apparently legit fractured his tibia during his title defense — and storyline, as new contenders for the top titles emerge. [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Double Or Nothing (2024) Season 5, Ep 10000

Orange Cassidy and Will Ospreay team up against their current grudges, and AEW Champ Swerve faces Nick Wayne in a preview of this weekend's main event against Wayne's "dad". [more inside]
AEW Collision: May 18, 2024 (& Rampage same day live) Season 1, Ep 46
With nine days to go before Double Or Nothing, AEW centers Chris Jericho's FTW Championship in a series of "contender series" matches. The "Team AEW" that's assembled against the Elite faces even more hired goons. Elsewhere, Will Ospreay's in action, Serena Deeb shows no fear in the lead-up to facing Toni Storm, and Orange Cassidy's character alignment slowly moves from "shenanigans babyface" to "fear my righteous fury!"

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: May 8, 2024 Season 5, Ep 32

Anyone who forgoes hockey is going to see Adam Copeland continue to defend his TNT Championship against the House of Black, Orange Cassidy getting his grudge match with Trent Beretta, Mariah May looking to break a losing streak, and Swerve getting his face-to-face with Christian Cage. [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: May 1, 2024 (& live Rampage) Season 5, Ep 31
Once again sports means that Rampage gets moved around, resulting in another three-hour block of AEW. Dynamite is live tonight from Winnipeg, Manitoba, so Kenny Omega returns in his home town to hopefully provide an update on his health, now that his former Elite friends have attacked Tony Khan and effectively seized control of the company. We’ll also find out who will challenge Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship at Double or Nothing, Adam Copeland faces one of the House of Black, and Serena Deeb gets her shot at Toni Storm's sycophant Mariah May. [more inside]
AEW Collision: April 27, 2024 (& same day Rampage live) Season 1, Ep 44
The world of sports-induced rescheduling has gifted us three hours of live wrestling, including Swerve Strickland's first title defense, a trios title match, plus the return of several luchadors, the AEW debut of Grizzled Young Veterans plus a brawl in the parking lot. [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: April 24, 2024 Season 5, Ep 30
We all need some cooldown time after some instant classic matches from Dynasty this past weekend. New championship title holders Jon Moxley, Swerve Strickland, Willow Nightingale, and Chris Jericho all put in appearance in segments or matches, and poor Chuckie Taylor is forced to make a doggy choice between his best friends. [more inside]
