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
If the original Double Or Nothing is considered the first actual event by All Elite Wrestling then welcome to the celebration of five full years of dream matches, indie booking and internet smarks! Tonight all titles are defended, a former WWE sensation goes straight into the main event, and the new heelish version of The Elite tries to maintain their dominance of the company against an alliance of babyface deathmatch lunatics. [more inside]

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: May 22, 2024 Season 5, Ep 34
It's the last Dynamite before Double Or Nothing... let's watch Bryan Danielson fight a giant! Saraya will work a match for the first time since February, tagging with her pet Harley to face Toni Storm and her protege Mariah May. 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
AEW's next stop in the Canadian tour is Edmonton, which causes a spot of trouble since the Oilers are also in the playoffs tonight.

[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

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.

[more inside]
AEW Collision: April 20, 2024 (& same day Rampage live) Season 1, Ep 43
It's the go-home show for Dynasty tomorrow, but it's also 4/20, so AEW is going to get high with a little help from friends... by which I mean put on a shit-ton of tag-team matches and also invite over Rob Van Dam for a "High Flying Elmination Match". [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: April 17, 2024 Season 5, Ep 29
Hail the conquering hero, as Jon Moxley returns to AEW having been crowned new IWGP World Heavyweight Champion after defeating Naito at NJPW Windy City Riot. Tonight he gets to watch his Blackpool Combat Club teammate Claudio fight Will Ospreay, just days before his other BCC mate Bryan Danielson will do the same at the Dynasty PPV. Some fiery promos are also likely as Mercedes Moné, Samoa Joe and Swerve Strickland will all "address the fans." Oh, and at least four other matches too! [more inside]

Tonight, in response to CM Punk’s incendiary comments on Ariel Helwani’s The MMA Hour last week, Tony Khan has decided to show the footage from backstage at All In that led to Punk’s firing. It’s a bizarre, ballsy move that has the wrestling world wondering what Tony is thinking. Besides that, we have Adam Copeland defending his title, The Rainmaker getting some TV time, Mariah May and Toni Storm throwing a champagne toast, and Dustin Rhodes trying to earn a title shot at Samoa Joe. [more inside]

Collision gallantly delays it's Saturday night start time knowing that it's tough to compete with the first night of WrestleMania XL (the varying quality of the WM matches notwithstanding). As a study in contrasts, AEW offers House Of Black vs. an ad-hoc trio, the return of Yuka Sakazaki, Claudio in singles action, and main-event lucha libre. [more inside]

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: March 20, 2024 (+ live Rampage following) Season 5, Ep 25
March Madness means we get three hours live tonight, as Rampage gets added on here. Look at this poster. How friggin' sweet is that poster? Watch Eddie cut a promo honoring the Briscoes and barely sparing a thought for Okada. Kayfabe is alive and well in this man's heart.

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: AEW Revolution 2024 Season 5, Ep 10000
Tonight the wrestling world sends off an Icon, as Sting -- through a history that encompasses almost 40 years in the business, matches across the world, championships in three companies -- has his final match in the same venue where he faced Ric Flair in 1988. 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? [more inside]
AEW Collision: March 2, 2024 (& Rampage March 1) Season 1, Ep 37

Oh yeah and FTR, Eddie Kingston, BCC, Hangman Page, Orange Cassidy, Nick Wayne, Kris Statlander, Skye Blue, yada yada yada... [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: February 21, 2024 Season 5, Ep 21
Dynamite gets a little stochastic in the build to Revolution 10 days away, putting a lot of top names into a six-man main event, lighting the fuse on the FTR vs Blackpool Combat Club, and sending the melodrama into overdrive with a bevy of chilling promos. [more inside]
