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

Dynamite got moved to Tuesday this week -- I dunno why, probably something sports-related -- and Tony Khan has played us a little sneaky. Only one actual title match this week, but several that have implications for WrestleDream. Yuta's decision re: the BCC is made for him, Hologram continues to rule, two(!!) women's matches, and several wrestlers make well-received returns. [more inside]

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.
