Also between the soon-to-be-cancelled Rampage and BOTB 12 this is four hours of wrestling, so buckle the heck up. [more inside]

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: October 8, 2024: TITLE TUESDAY Season 6, Ep 2

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.

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.
