    AEW All In Fallout | Dynamite Review

    AEW had a lot of questions to answer coming out of All In and this week’s Dynamite wasted very little time answering them. Tim and Dug break down a loaded post-All In show as new AEW World Champion Will Ospreay teases building his own version of United Empire and suddenly learns that Jon Moxley will be his first challenger at All Out. They also dig into MJF’s fantastic post-All In promo and what his warning to Ospreay could mean over the next several months. Plus: Swerve and New Level tear it up with The Rascalz, the Young Bucks, FTR and Cope & Christian set the stage for a huge ladder match, Darby Allin survives Mark Davis before Josh Alexander returns, Megan Bayne and Alex Windsor deliver a match-of-the-night contender, Thekla crashes Mercedes Moné’s celebration, Britt Baker and Persephone continue their alliance, and Chris Jericho finds a very interesting new foil in Nick Wayne. Was this the perfect way for AEW to follow up All In? Tim and Dug run through what worked, what didn’t, and why the road to All Out suddenly looks very promising.

    All In 2026: A Perfect Night Of Wrestling

    AEW All In: London 2026 is in the books, and Tim and Dug are calling it one of the best nights of professional wrestling they’ve ever seen. They break down the entire show from Wembley Stadium, including Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega delivering an emotional classic for the AEW World Championship, the AEW debut of Kofi and Austin Creed as The New Level alongside Swerve Strickland, and Britt Baker’s shocking return. Plus: Mercedes Moné and Willow Nightingale in an epic battle for the AEW Women’s World Championship, Darby Allin goes completely insane against Kevin Knight, Kazuchika Okada faces Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita, Andrade wins the best Casino Gauntlet match yet, Cage and Cope clash with the Young Bucks, and the Brawling Birds challenge Divine Dominion. There are a few things to nitpick, including some rough early technical issues, Jon Moxley retaining against Nigel McGuinness, and a couple of booking decisions, but after six-and-a-half hours, the biggest takeaway is simple: AEW absolutely crushed its biggest show of the year.

    AEW All In Go Home Show Review

    Four days before AEW All In: London, Dynamite delivered plenty of good wrestling, but did the go-home show actually create enough heat for Wembley? Tim and Dug break down the final Dynamite before All In, including Will Ospreay’s last words for Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley vs. Claudio Castagnoli in the Continental Challenge Cup, and Nigel McGuinness continuing his unlikely run toward a championship match at Wembley. They also discuss Christian Cage blowing up the uneasy alliance between Adam Copeland and the Young Bucks, Mercedes Moné attacking Willow Nightingale, Andrade continuing to thrive in his feud with MJF, and AEW finally giving fans more names to watch for in the Casino Gauntlet. Plus: a surprisingly great women’s trios match featuring Maya World, Persephone, Divine Dominion and the Brawling Birds; Swerve Strickland and Jungle Jack Perry stealing the show in the main event; the growing questions around AEW’s World Title picture after All In; and some very irresponsible Casino Gauntlet fantasy booking involving Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bret Hart and Teddy Hart.

    Kenny Omega Snaps on Will Ospreay

    AEW All In: London is less than two weeks away, and Dynamite delivered a show that was good…but also weird. Tim and Dug break down Kenny Omega going full heel on Will Ospreay, including their tense sit-down interview and Omega’s brutal attack to close the show. Plus, Jon Moxley and Jay White deliver a Match of the Night contender, but was AEW wrong to have Mox advance in the Continental Challenge Cup? Also on the show: Maya World survives a fantastic TBS Championship four-way, Mercedes Moné and Willow Nightingale come to blows, Konosuke Takeshita targets Kyle Fletcher, AEW remembers it has a trios division, Kevin Knight blows up Darby Allin, and the guys try to figure out exactly what Swerve Strickland has planned for Wembley. Plus: Why AEW needs to finally pull the trigger on Jay White, the Brawling Birds story still isn’t clicking, and Dug celebrates another trip around the sun. 🥄 Elite Heat is sponsored by Doich Foods!

    AEW Dynamite delivered another strong show, and with All In rapidly approaching, the rest of the card is starting to feel as hot as the main event story. Tim and Dug break down Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega’s INCREDIBLE start to the show, another fantastic night for an unhinged MJF, Swerve Strickland’s return and sudden involvement in the Trios Championship picture, Chris Jericho doing exactly what he should be doing with Kevin Knight, and a Continental Cup that might be getting a little too complicated for its own good. Plus, Kris Statlander’s next move raises some fascinating questions about Maya World and the TBS Championship, Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita are headed for a collision at All In, and Jon Moxley vs. Jack Perry delivers the match of the night.

    AEW Grand Slam Mexico Review

    AEW Grand Slam Mexico delivered a loaded, nearly three-hour edition of Dynamite from Arena México, and Tim and Dug have plenty to praise, along with several booking decisions that left them baffled. They break down MJF’s surprise return and his claim that he remains AEW’s rightful world champion, Andrade El Ídolo’s outstanding match with Tommaso Ciampa and Komander, and why Ciampa’s increasingly weird “Psycho Killer” presentation desperately needs a clearer direction. Plus, Kyle Fletcher and “Speedball” Mike Bailey beat the hell out of each other in the match of the night, Will Ospreay showed a more ruthless side against Mark Davis, and Hangman Adam Page and Brodido unexpectedly captured the AEW World Trios Championship from The Demand. Tim and Dug also discuss: • Whether Chris Jericho is quietly beginning his retirement tour• The electric atmosphere inside Arena México• MJF channeling the right version of Ric Flair• The questionable path that earned the Brawling Birds an All In title match• Kris Statlander and Persephone struggling with an unusual crowd reaction• Darby Allin and Kevin Knight restarting their rivalry• Kazuchika Okada confronting Kyle Fletcher• AEW’s confusing new Continental Cup• The returns of Eddie Kingston, Nigel McGuinness and the Motor City Machine Guns• The potential surprises waiting in the All In Casino Gauntlet Grand Slam Mexico was not perfect, but its pay-per-view-caliber wrestling and major All In developments gave Tim and Dug plenty to be excited about on the road to Wembley.

    AEW Redemption 2026 Review: Death Riders, Elite, and Ospreay OH MY!

    AEW Redemption delivered a strange mix of excellent wrestling, major title changes and a show that felt much longer than it needed to be. Tim and Dug break down Kenny Omega vs. Kevin Knight, Willow Nightingale becoming AEW’s first Women’s Triple Crown Champion, Maya World winning the TBS Championship, Andrade capturing the AEW National Championship, “Speedball” Mike Bailey winning the six-way ladder match and Kyle Fletcher’s outstanding defense against Bandido. They also debate whether worked concussion angles belong in professional wrestling, why several matches would have been better suited for Dynamite, whether Redemption’s position before All In made its biggest outcomes too predictable and what Will Ospreay’s break from the Death Riders means for Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley and the road to Wembley.
