It is what it is.” H/T F4WOnline

Maxwell said he’s a demon that Jon can’t slay. MJF noted that a “young group of gentlemen” helped him win the Casino Ladder match. MJF introduced the “first-ever stable on retainer” Stokely Hathaway and The Firm.

Stokely Hathaway & The Firm

Stokely said that everyone is about to hear some gospel. He stated that he flew from Orlando to New York City to talk to MJF while he was disenfranchised and wanted to leave All Elite Wrestling. Hathaway said that they are MJF’s support system, and they go they’re separate ways when Max doesn’t need them.

He added that he’s not a manager or a publicist, he’s a fried with connections to make anything happen. Stokely introduced Morrissey, Lee Moriarty, Gunn Club, Ethan Page as “The Firm”. He closed the promo by saying you have two options, run with them or run from them.

AEW Dynamite Served as a Reset This Week. It Was a Success.

The eyes of the wrestling world were on TBS last night at 8:00 Eastern as a promotion that made headlines for all of the wrong reasons over the previous 72 hours went on the air.

The million dollar questions was how would Tony Khan handle the fallout from the melee that ensued after AEW’s All Out PPV in Chicago last Sunday evening. Would public suspensions be announced? Even firings? What would happen with the championships?

The result was a pre-taped segment with Khan to open the show where he announced that the AEW World and Trios Championships would be vacated, with new champions being crowned immediately (in the case of the Trios Championship) and in the future (the World Championship).

Public announcements regarding disciplinary action taken because of the backstage fight between The Elite and CM Punk and Ace Steel? There was nothing of the kind. In fact, the brawl itself was not directly mention at all throughout the broadcast, and Khan didn’t even clarify why the titles were being vacated.

And you know what? That was the right call.

While not everyone would be aware of what happened in the locker room of the NOW Arena three days earlier, many were, and it’s unquestionably a black eye (no pun-intended) for the promotion. Moving past it as fast as possible, changing the narrative, and giving a fresh start to the two titles previously mentioned was a necessity. As Bob Seger once wrote, “Turn the page.”

And as far as fresh starts go, the promotion succeeded. Everything felt back on track when the show reached its conclusion. AEW produced one of the better episodes of Dynamite in several months, top to bottom, including a fantastic second hour of wrestling that is among the best hours of in-ring action the promotion has broadcast on cable television.

Following Khan, we jumped right in with MJF making his Dynamite return by way of a spoof-babyface promo, and he eventually got confronted by Jon Moxley who gave the perfect promo that was needed after a wild couple of days, sending messages to the locker room and audience in the process. Moxley did his best to build up the significance of the AEW title after, once again, its champion will be unable to drop it in the ring. In doing so, he succeeded at making the Grand Slam Tournament feel as significant as possible given the unfortunate circumstances of its lineage.

That segment was followed by an excellent match between the Best Friends and Death Triangle to crown new Trios Champions and we were off to the races. New Women’s Champion Toni Storm and Penelope Ford delivered a very good women’s match. The Acclaimed were interrupted by Swerve (what better way to draw heel heat these days than blocking a Max Caster rap?), and a rematch for the tag titles was officially announced for Grand Slam. Wardlow gave an intense promo and ran over Tony Nese.

But that second hour? Wow. Bryan Danielson and Adam Page had a heck of a television match, with Bryan getting his win back on Page (he lost to him last January) and advancing in the world title tournament. One would expect Bryan to get his win back on Jericho in the next round, likely setting up a tournament final with his Blackpool Combat Club teammate Jon Moxley — a match big enough for a show that will emanate from Arthur Ashe Stadium in two weeks.

The main event slot was given to the hometown boy as Wheeler Yuta defended the ROH Pure Championship against Buffalo’s own Daniel Garcia, another fantastic bout. When Garcia hoisted the ROH Pure Title and celebrated with Danielson and an elated crowd to close Dynamite, the sins of three days earlier seemed like a faint memory.

This show served as a reset for AEW and made you believe the company can move forward, successfully, with a different roster dynamic right now. And while the promotion will continue to grapple with fallout from last weekend’s backstage fight for months to come, AEW talent not associated with that dark moment were given something to sink their teeth into and move forward. And so were the fans.

10 Takeaways From AEW Dynamite (9/7): MJF Speaks, New Champions, Titles Vacated, Jon Moxley, More

AEW Dynamite aired live from the Keybank Center in Buffalo, NY. Wheeler Yuta defended the ROH Pure Championship against Daniel Garcia in the main event. AEW President Tony Khan addressed the situation with the AEW & Trios Championships and MJF spoke after winning the Casino Ladder match at All Out.

Dynamite Results (9/7)

  • Death Triangle def. Best Friends & Orange Cassidy to become the new Trios Champions
  • Toni Storm def. Penelope Ford
  • Wardlow def. Tony Nese to retain the TNT Championship (squash match)
  • Bryan Danielson def. Hangman Adam Page to advance to the semifinals of the AEW Championship tournament
  • Daniel Garcia def. Wheeler Yuta to become the new ROH Pure Champion

Here are 10 takeaways from this week’s AEW Dynamite

Tony Khan Vacated Both the AEW & Trios Championships

Tony Khan addressed the crowd via a backstage video. Tony Khan announced that both the AEW Championship and the Trios Championships have been vacated. Tony announced that the new Trios Champions will be crowned in the first match of the night and the new AEW Champion will be determined in a tournament ending at Grand Slam.

Note: Tony Khan provided no reason as to why the titles were vacated. He did not mention the brawl between The Elite, CM Punk, and Ace Steel. None of the wrestlers involved in the incident had their names mentioned during the show likely for legal reasons.

MJF Pretended to be a Babyface Before Showing His True Colors

Maxwell Jacob Friedman came to the ring in a Bills jersey and announced that the devil is back. MJF admitted that he said some offensive things the last time they saw him and the crowd chanted “you were right!”.

MJF said that he loves AEW and will never leave this place. MJF kept making jokes before announcing that why he’s not in the tournament. He said he’s got a chip that gives him a title shot whenever he wants. MJF stated that we are not in dark times, they just need leadership and he can’t think of someone more trustworthy than himself. Maxwell added that he’s going to lead AEW to the promise land before Jon Moxley interrupted.

Moxley made his way through the crowd and got into the ring with Maxwell. Jon told MJF that he’s full of crap. MJF then ripped off the Bills jersey and wiped his buttocks with it before shouting “Josh Allen sucks!”. Maxwell pointed out that Jon went to sleep on Sunday but he might have a point.

MJF suggested that maybe he looks at the AEW Championship as a bargaining chip for WWE. Maxwell added that maybe he’ll get to work at a real wrestling company and for the only Khan that matters in the wrestling industry, Nick Khan. Moxley challenged him to a fight but MJF exited the ring.

Opinion: MJF is in an unbelievable position right now. There is no way WWE wouldn’t want to sign him, but at this point he should Tony Khan for the world. He’s an undeniable talent and the person All Elite Wrestling should be trying to build around.

Jon Moxley Delivered a Passionate Promo About What it Means to be AEW Champion

Moxley joked that MJF’s theme music sucks before he exited the ring. Jon said he’s pissed off and embarrassed about what happened. Jon added that the AEW World Champion represents the freedom to be as great as you are willing to dare to be. Moxley was very passionate during this promo and the crowd chanted his name.

Jon noted that he lost on Sunday and that is on him. Moxley mentioned the names in the tournament and said that winners always when the game is on the line. Jon stood tall in the ring and said that it is time to be a legend to close the promo.

Opinion: This was a tremendous promo by Moxley. His matches might not be for everyone but there is no denying that he cares about the company above all else. Unfortunately, that cannot be said for a lot of the top talent at the moment.

Death Triangle are the new Trios Champions

Best Friends (Chuck Taylor, Trent) & Orange Cassidy battled Death Triangle (PAC, Rey Fenix, Pentagon Jr) to crowd the new Trios Champions. Best Friends dominated most of the match early and isolated Rey Fenix in the ring.

Chuck and Trent shared a hug as the crowd popped. Orange Cassidy planted Pac with a German Suplex and went for an Orange Punch but Penta broke it up. Trent connected with a Code Red for a near fall as the crowd chanted “this is awesome!”. Death Triangle got Chuck alone in the ring and Pac hit him with the Black Arrow for the pinfall victory. Death Triangle are the new Trios Champions.

Opinion: The crowd was very into this match and it added a lot to it. The Trios Championships could not have gotten off to a worse start than what has happened. The Elite won the finals of the tournament at All Out and threw them away a few hours later. Hopefully, Death Triangle can salvage the titles but AEW is already having a hell of a time making Pac’s All-Atlantic Championship relevant.

Toni Storm def. Penelope Ford

AEW Interim Champion Toni Storm battled Penelope Ford tonight on Dynamite. Kip Sabian accompanied Penelope to the ring while wearing the box over his head again. The action spilled out of the ring and Penelope sent the champ into the steel steps. When Dynamite returned, Toni battled back and hit Sweet Cheeks Music (Hip Attack). Penelope tried to battle back but Storm prevailed by rolling her up for the pinfall victory.

Wardlow Dominated & Retained the TNT Title

Wardlow defended the TNT Championship against Tony Nese tonight on Dynamite. This was a complete squash by the TNT Champion. Wardlow hit a few Powerbombs and retained the title with ease.

Swerve in our Glory vs. The Acclaimed II Announced For Grand Slam

The Acclaimed made their way to the ring with Billy Gunn. Max Caster was about to rap but was interrupted by AEW Tag Team Champion Swerve Strickland. Swerve said it was a joke that The Acclaimed would become champs. Billy Gunn interrupted and told Swerve that this isn’t his house anymore. Anthony Bowens said that they have another shot at the AEW Team Championships at Grand Slam because everyone loves The Acclaimed. Bowens then shouted “scissor me Daddy Ass!” at Billy Gunn to close the promo.

Opinion: I thought this was the best match of All Out and am excited to see the rematch. I am wondering now that The Elite aren’t around if FTR might actually get a shot at the AEW Tag Team championships after being ranked #1 for an eternity. Cash Wheeler seems to believe so.

Bryan Danielson will Battle Chris Jericho Again Next Week in the Semifinals of the AEW Championship Tournament

Bryan Danielson battled Hangman Adam Page tonight in the AEW Championship tournament. The winner of the match will face Chris Jericho next week in the semifinals. Hangman controlled the match early and leveled Danielson with a Clothesline. Hangman sent Bryan out of the ring and went after him. Danielson shoved Hangman into the ring post and smirked as the show went to a commercial.

When Dynamite returned, Hangman connected with a Powerbomb for a near fall. Danielson went for a Suicide Dive but Hangman countered into another Powerbomb on the ring apron. Back in the ring, Hangman went for the Buckshot Lariat but Danielson ducked. Bryan went for the LeBell Lock but transitioned into a roll-up for the victory.

Opinion: You wouldn’t think it, but Danielson and Jericho actually had a solid match at AEW All Out. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by the brawl and also the All Out being far too long of a show with way too many matches.

Stokely Hathaway’s Crew Attacked a member of AEW’s Production Team

Stokely Hathaway, Gunn Club, Ethan Page, Lee Moriarty, and W. Morrissey were about to cut a promo when a crew member tried to cut them off because they were low on time. Hathaway bashed him over the head with a microphone and his crew beat the hell out of the poor crew member.

Daniel Garcia Captured The ROH Championship

Wheeler Yuta defended the ROH Pure Championship against Daniel Garcia in the main event of Dynamite. It was announced that Claudio Castagnoli will defend the ROH Championship against Dax Harwood on Rampage. Jericho Appreciation Society was not ringside for the match.

The action started back and forth, with Blackpool Combat Club’s Wheeler Yuta taking control as Dynamite went to the final break of the night. Both men were on the canvas when Dynamite returned. Daniel Garcia locked in a submission and tapped out Wheeler Yuta.

After the match, confetti reigned down as Garcia celebrated in the ring. Bryan Danielson came down to the ring as Wheeler & Daniel Garcia shook hands. Daniel Garcia then put the ROH Pure Champion on Daniel as Chris Jericho flipped out on the entrance ramp as Dynamite went off the air.

Final Thoughts: AEW needed to put on a solid show tonight after a chaotic weekend and they delivered. It appeared that everyone put their best forward for at least a night. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come and the company can back on track.

AEW Champion Jon Moxley kicked off the show and made his way through the crowd as “Wild Thing” blasted through the speakers. Jon paced around the ring before standing in silence for a bit as the crowd chanted his name. Moxley joked that they are still mopping CM Punk off the floor in Cleveland.

Jon said he heard Punk described as the modern 60-minute man and joked that he had 57-minutes left in him last week and Punk clearly didn’t. Moxley claimed that Punk started to look for a way out last week and curled up into a little ball to die. Moxley added that Punk folded last week and a faint “CM Punk!” chant broke out. Jon added that champions don’t fold and apologized to the fans for CM Punk not being what everyone wanted him to be. Jon said that Punk has a fragile ego, weak mind, weak body, and weak spirit.

Moxley pulled out an open contract for a title match at All Out this Sunday. Jon stated that he’s already signed it and left the contract in the ring. Moxley paced around the contract and warned the person that signs it that he can out-fight anyone and is the embodiment of professional wrestling. Jon threw the microphone down and posed for the crowd to end the promo. Ace Steel, a backstage producer, made his way to the ring and put the contract in his back pocket.

Bryan Danielson Sent A Message To Chris Jericho

Jake Hager battled Bryan Danielson tonight on Dynamite. Before the match, Jericho claimed that Owen and Stu Hart would prefer what he’s accomplished in the wrestling business over what Bryan Danielson has done. Jericho vowed to beat Danielson at All Out during the backstage promo. William Regal accompanied Bryan Danielson to the entrance ramp and then joined commentary for the match.

Danielson got Hager in a choke hold but he quickly escaped. Bryan launched Hager to the outside and leveled him with a Suicide Dive. Danielson leaped onto Hager but Jake caught im. Hager put Danielson through the timekeeper’s table and then bashed him into the ring post. Jake beat Danielson down some more as Dynamite went to a commercial break.

When Dynamite returned, Hager unloaded some more punches but Danielson battled back with a Dropkick off the top rope. Danielson pounded on the mat to fire up the crowd and went for the LeBell Lock but Jake blocked it. Jake went for an Ankle Lock but Danielson escaped. Bryan then applied the LeBell Lock but Hager reached the bottom rope to break it up. Jake hit a Uranage off the middle rope but Danielson shrugged it off. Bryan delivered a running knee to the face for the pinfall victory.

After the match, Jericho Appreciation Society ran down the entrance ramp. Jericho was about to hit Danielson with a chair but Daniel Garcia broke it up. Danielson then caught Jericho with the running knee.

W. Morrissey Is All Elite

The Wingmen came to the ring and demanded more screen time. W. Morrissey (formerly known in WWE as Big Cass) showed up and beat the hell out of everyone. Stokely Hathaway showed up and presented Morrissey with his business card as the crowd cheered. Tony Schiavone went for an interview but it didn’t work out so well.

Hikaru Shida & Toni Storm def. Jamie Hayter & Britt Baker

Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter battled Hikaru Shida and Toni Storm tonight on Dynamite. Hikaru knocked Hayter to the mat to start off the action and tagged in Storm. Toni stomped on Hayter in the corner of the ring. Britt tagged in and beat Toni down in the corner as Dynamite went to a break.

When Dynamite returned, Shida planted Jamie with a Suplex and followed it up with a Splash. She went for the cover but Britt broke it up at two. Toni sent Britt out of the ring and went for a Suplex but Hayter blocked it. Jamie planted both Shida and Storm with a Suplex before tagging in Britt.

Shida hit her finisher on Baker for the pinfall victory and posed with Toni after the match. These four will face off in a Fatal 4-Way to crown the Interim AEW Women’s Champion.

CM Punk Will Battle Jon Moxley At All Out

Miro, Darby Allin, and Sting cut a backstage vignette about their match against House of Black at All out.

Former AEW Champion CM Punk’s music hit and he made his way to the ring with his hands in his pockets. The crowd loudly chanted his name for a bit. Punk said “June 1st he broke his foot” and wrestled an entire match on it. He stated that he’s got three plates and sixteen screws put in his foot. Punk noted that that is 16 times more than a fat guy in the crowd has gotten screwed in his life.

CM Punk stated that he probably shouldn’t have said that. He noted that this was not the first time he was beaten up in Cleveland and wondered if the new 100% of his injured foot is good enough anymore. Punk said he came to wrestling because he loves this business and the fans. Punk added that it hurts to let the fans down and got emotional.

AEW producer Ace Steel interrupted and said he’s been Punk’s coach from day one. He slapped him in the face and showed him the contract. He started up a “CM Punk!” chant and noted that he filled an arena on a rumor and is not letting him leave now. CM Punk got fired up and brought the contract through the crowd. He signed it and will face Jon Moxley this Sunday at All Out.

Wardlow & FTR Picked Up A Win

Wardlow and ROH Tag Team Champions FTR battled Ren Jones, Silas Young, & “Ice Pick” Vic Capri. Wardlow hit the Powerbomb Symphony for the pinfall victory. The TNT Champion and FTR will face Jay Lethal and Motor City Machine Guns at the PPV. Sonjay Dutt was taking notes on a legal pad for whatever reason during the match backstage.

AEW Champion Jon Moxley Warns CM Punk

Jon Moxley made his way to the ring with the AEW Championship and said that CM Punk can go out on his shield in front of his hometown fans that made. Moxley stated that he will be trying to take Punk’s head off All Out and vowed to show the world the difference between a fake messiah and the real deal. Moxley added that he’s a legend happening right before your eyes. His music cut him off and Moxley stormed backstage.

Wheeler Yuta Picked Up A Win

Four of the eight wrestlers that are in the Casino Ladder match this Sunday at All Out (Wheeler Yuta, Dante Martin, Rush, and Rey Fenix) battled tonight in a 4-Way. Dante Martin hit an awesome Splash out of the ring but Rush knocked him down with a headbutt. Rush followed it up with a flip on the entrance ramp as Dynamite went to a break.

When Dynamite returned, Rush was still in control and the action had returned to the ring. Rey knocked Rush out of the ring with a kick but turned around into a Canadian Destroyer from Dante Martin.

PAC vs. Kip Sabian for the All Atlantic Championship was announced for All Out as well.

The Elite Advanced To The Finals Of The Trios Tournament At All Out

Hangman Page offered to join Dark Order in the Trios tournament as Evil Uno was attacked backstage. They accepted and Hangman & Dark Order will wrestle Best Friends & Orange Cassidy on Rampage in the Trios tournament. The winner will advance to the finals.

Will Ospreay and Aussie Open (Mark Davis, Kyle Fletcher) battled Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) in the semifinals of the trios tournament. The winning team will advance to the finals at All Out. Will knocked Omega out of the ring with a Clothesline but turned around into a Hurricanrana from Matt.

Kenny went for a Snap Dragon Suplex but Will somehow landed on his feet. Ospreay sent Kenny out of the ring and went for a flip but Omega dodged it.

When Dynamite returned, The Young Bucks battled with Aussie Open. Nick hit Ospreay with a Tornado DDT on the floor outside the ring and climbed to the top rope. Nick went for a 450 but Will got his knees up. Will started mocking Kenny Omega and the two traded punches in the middle of the ring. Omega ducked under an Enziguri and went for a V-Trigger. Ospreay ridiculously countered into a Powerbomb.

Nick countered the Cutter and The Elite took back control. The Elite hit a Superkick/V-Trigger combo but the cover was broken up. Nick flipped onto Mark Davis outside the ring.

  • Will Ospreay & Aussie Open def. Death Triangle to advance in the Trios Tournament

Here are the takeaways from this week’s show:

Chris Jericho vs. Bryan Danielson Set For AEW All Out

Chris Jericho made his way to the ring as the crowd sang “Judas” by Fozzy. Jericho introduced Daniel Garcia as a future champion and his protege. Garcia lost to Bryan Danielson in a 2 out of 3 Falls match last week. He went to shake Bryan’s hand but Jericho attacked Danielson from behind.

Garcia made his way to the ring as the crowd chanted “you’re a wrestler!” at him and Jericho shouted at them to shut up. Chris claimed that the crowd doesn’t understand the bond they have. Jericho noted that Garcia lost in a classic match against Bryan Danielson last week and probably just put his hands on him due to frustration.

Daniel told Jericho that Danielson was his hero and he hung with him in the ring for thirty minutes last week. He added that he always dreamt of having matches like that while he was a kid and hoped it inspired a young fan at home. Daniel shouted at Jericho for ruining the moment for him when Danielson extended his hand as a sign of respect.

Chris called Daniel Garcia the greatest technical “sports entertainer” and the crowd erupted in a “you’re a wrestler!”. Jericho began demanding that Garcia say he’s a sports entertainer before Bryan Danielson interrupted.

Danielson said that Jericho was trying to bully him into being a sports entertainer and told Garcia he’s a wrestler. Chris once again shouted that he’s a sports entertainer before Garcia interrupted.

He told Jericho to leave him alone and Chris grabbed at him. Daniel shoved Jericho down and the crowd erupted as Bryan Danielson laughed. The crowd broke out in a “you deserve it!” chant. Daniel Garcia exited the ring and made his way backstage.

Bryan Danielson said he’s not the biggest fan of sports entertainment, but that was pretty funny. Chris stated that people keep telling him that he’s the best wrestler in the world and doesn’t see it. Jericho referred to himself as the last survivor of Stu Hart’s dungeon and is The Lionheart.

Danielson wondered if they were able to ask Stu Hart, Owen Hart “who is the better wrestler Lionheart Chris Jericho or The American Dragon Bryan Danielson?”. Bryan challenged Chris to a match tonight but Jericho said he will face him at All Out. Chris warned Danielson to watch his back and Jake Hager attacked from behind to end the segment.

Jay Lethal Stole A Victory

Dax Harwood battled Jay Lethal in the first match of tonight’s Dynamite. Jay controlled the action early and beat Dax down in the corner of the ring. Harwood battled back and unloaded some chops to Lethal’s chest. Dax connected with a Back Body Drop and then stomped on Jay’s hand.

When Dynamite returned from a break, Dax hit Jay with three German Suplexes in a row. Jay got Dax in the Figure Four but Harwood was able to reach the ropes to quickly break the hold. Lethal tried to apply the move again but Hartwood blocked it. Dax then went for the Sharpshooter but Jay booted him away.

Harwood rolled Jay up for a near fall. Jay went for a Cutter but Harwood countered into a springboard Liger Bomb but Lethal somehow was able to kick out at the last moment. Harwood locked in the Sharpshooter in the middle of the ring but Sonjay Dutt hopped on the ring apron for a distraction.

Harwood knocked him down and rolled up Jay for a two count. Dax hit a Crossbody for yet another near fall as the crowd applauded the efforts of both stars. Dax hit Jay with a couple of uppercuts but Lethal rolled him up. Jay grabbed the tights for leverage and escaped with a pinfall victory. After the match, Sonjay Dutt announced that FTR and Wardlow will be facing their friends Motor City Machine Guns and Jay Lethal at AEW All Out.

Thunder Rosa Is Injured

Incredibly, yet another injury has occurred in All Elite Wrestling. Thunder Rosa announced that she’s out with injury in a backstage interview with Tony Schiavone. There will be a match to determine another Interim Champion at All Out.

Colten Gunn def. Billy Gunn

Billy Gunn battled his son, Colten Gunn, tonight on Dynamite. Billy controlled the action early as Dynamite went to a commercial break.

When Dynamite returned, Billy was in control the match. Stokely Hathaway attacked Max Caster from behind. Austin sent Bowens into the steel steps as Colten hit his dad with a low blow. Colten followed it up with a Neckbreaker for the pinfall victory. Stokely entered the ring and handed the Gunn Club his business card.

Gunn Club got in some shots before AEW Tag Team Champions Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee showed up. Gunn Club scampered away through the crowd as the champs helped The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn to their feet to end the segment.

Swerve in Our Glory later offered The Acclaimed at title shot at All Out and they accepted.

4 Reasons CM Punk vs. Jon Moxley is More Than Just a Title Match

AEW World Champion CM Punk will battle AEW Interim Champion Jon Moxley tonight on Dynamite to determine the Undisputed Champion. All signs were pointing to this match happening at All Out early next month but it was surprisingly booked for tonight’s show.

Here are 4 reasons CM Punk versus Jon Moxley for the AEW Championship is more than just a title match:

The Company Needs Some Momentum

AEW Dynamite has flatlined in the ratings just below 1 million viewers, but thankfully they have an established and loyal audience that tunes in every week. The issue is that AEW President Tony Khan has spent a ton on contracts for ex-WWE talent that haven’t really made a huge difference yet in regards to attracting the casual fan.

It is hard to get invested in some of the talent when they are only featured once a month on television. Wardlow capturing the TNT Championship should have felt more important by now. He finally was able to rid himself of MJF and capture some gold, so why he is in a 6-man tag at the PPV?

The TNT Champion is wrapped up in a storyline with Sonjay Dutt, Jay Lethal, and Satnam Singh. ROH Tag Team Champions and forever #1 contenders in AEW without getting a title shot, FTR, will be joining teaming up with Wardlow to battle the trio of heels at All Out. The match will likely be entertaining but it feels like an egregious missed opportunity for both the Wardlow and FTR to be in bigger storylines.

CM Punk versus Jon Moxley needs to deliver tonight in order to get people talking about how exciting All Elite Wrestling is again. Many fans are scratching their head and wondering what is going on at the moment. These two should have a long feud with a story, with weeks of promos and attacks, not a rushed title match to pop a rating. However, if tonight’s show is newsworthy and gets people talking about the product over the drama backstage, then maybe it was worth it.

Fan Perception Has Changed

All Elite Wrestling arrived as the cool kid in the wrestling industry, while Vince McMahon’s vision for professional wrestling felt dated and borderline unwatchable at times. None of that applies anymore, just a month after Vince departed the company and his son-in-law, Triple H, has taken over as Head of Creative.

WWE has not only turned the page, but they’ve also flipped the script. They are now the cool company in the wrestling industry that talent is signing with. It is stunning how quickly the perception surrounding WWE has changed, despite unprecedented chaos at the top of the company over the summer.

Nowadays, AEW feels dated in comparison. The Jericho Appreciation Society refers to themselves as “sports entertainers” while Drew McIntyre is dropping the word “wrestler” in his promos on RAW. At this point, AEW is parodying itself and not the competition.

Talent Getting In Each other’s Way

Before his promo with Jon Moxley on last week’s Dynamite, the AEW Champion bizarrely called out Hangman Adam Page in his home state of West Virginia. He sat in the ring in his iconic pose and challenged Hangman to a rematch. The 43-year-old captured the AEW Championship from Hangman at Double or Nothing, only to break his foot the following Wednesday and go on the shelf for two months.

CM Punk gave Adam a few moments to come to the ring before uttering “that isn’t cowboy sh*t, that is coward sh*t”. It was an odd moment, but most people moved on when Moxley showed up. However, the incident was reportedly unplanned and Punk acted on his own to give Hangman a “receipt” for a perceived slight during a previous promo between the two.

Something just always seems to go awry now. Jonathan Gresham flipping out before Death Before Dishonor due to lack of communication from management, Tony’s unprofessional response to Big Swole, Cody Rhodes exiting the company, and the whole MJF thing, Why are Miro and Andrade liking tweets hinting at their unhappiness? It is always something, at least at least it appears that way.

During the post-Double or Nothing media scrum after CM Punk won the title, he said the following about AEW in comparison to WWE:”It felt like 10 years of fighting silly battles and standing on my own d*ck. I feel there’s no limitation put on myself or anybody, the sky’s the limit.” He’s used that phrase multiple times in reference to WWE.

That seems to contradict Fightful’s report of Punk telling management that he would not lose to Hangman Page. From the outside looking in, it appears AEW is repeatedly standing on themselves at the moment.

The Possible Return Of An Unlikely Hero

One of the possible reasons that the title match may have been moved up was because the promotion has a better main event planned for AEW All Out. If MJF returned, the company would have the majority of its stars back and the shows would instantly improve. MJF is an immense talent, a picture-perfect heel.

He delivered one of the most memorable promos of any promotion, in any time period, and the man is only 26 years old. The Dynamite following his loss to Wardlow at Double or Nothing, not too many people were discussing the match or even the victorious Wardlow. MJF skipped out a signing during the PPV weekend and reportedly booked a flight out of Vegas. Thankfully, cahooler heads prevailed and he did the job to Wardlow. The distraction still sullied the TNT Champion’s moment and he hasn’t fully recovered.

After MJF’s pipebomb promo, Punk tried to confront MJF but he left through the crowd at The Forum in Los Angeles, and that was the last time he appeared on television. He’s also gone completely dark on social media. If he returns tonight it will inject some much-needed life into the product just a couple of weeks out from All Out. Somehow, MJF has managed to become an even bigger star in the company without even appearing on television.

“There’s No Passion” – Cornette Criticizes AEW Star’s Promo Ability

AEW star Jungle Boy and Christian Cage have been in a feud on Dynamite for the past two months. Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus were known as Jurassic Express in the promotion, and Christian served as their manager during their reign as AEW Tag Team Champions.

However, the 48-year-old betrayed Jungle Boy at AEW Dynamite: Road Rager and even convinced Luchasaurus to turn heel for a couple of weeks. Christian has made it even more personal with references to Jungle Boy’s mother and his recently passed father, famous actor Luke Perry.

He recently challenged Christian to a match at AEW All Out on September 4th and brutally attacked him on this past Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite. Jungle Boy has since responded with a promo of his own and beat Christian down on last week’s episode of Dynamite.

Jim Cornette Wonders If Jungle Boy Will Figure It Out

On a recent episode of the Jim Cornette Experience, he was very critical of Jungle Boy and wondered if he was ever going to “get it”.

Does Jungle Boy have it? Is it going to come out? If it was, would it have come out by now? Verbally, speaking on television, having any kind of passion or emotion. Are all people of his age bracket this boring?

Jim Cornette on Jungle Boy

Co-host Brian Last suggested that Jungle Boy may find more success down the road as a heel but Cornette wasn’t optimistic. Jim claimed that the only way he could pull that off was if Jurassic Express reunited as heels, and Jungle Boy played the role of an instigator hiding behind Luchasaurus.

While Jungle Boy may not be dynamic on the microphone yet, he’s already established himself as one of the talents with the most potential on the AEW roster. The 25-year-old’s match against Christian Cage at all All Out will be the biggest match of his young career.

Do you agree with Jim Cornette’s assessment of Jungle Boy or do you believe he will be one of AEW’s biggest stars down the line? Let us know in the comments section below.

Tony Khan Reveals That Recent AEW Special Did Record Viewership In The U.K.

Tony Khan issued a statement on his personal Twitter account promoting this week’s Dynamite on TBS, a show that will feature the highly anticipated showdown between world champion CM Punk and interim champion Jon Moxley, with the winner being crowned the undisputed AEW champion.

The AEW President writes, “Thank you everyone who watches @AEWonTV! In 48 hours Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite @CMPunk vs @JonMoxley to finally crown an Undisputed @AEWWorld Champion! It’s been a great summer of 12 straight weeks & counting for Dynamite on @TBSNetwork in the top 2 shows on cable in the US.”

Along with that, Khan touts the success of AEW’s recent Quake By The Lake television special from two weeks ago, which he reveals scored AEW their record viewership number on ITV4 in the United Kingdom. For those who don’t remember that show was headlined by Jon Moxley taking on Chris Jericho for the AEW world title, with Punk making his surprising return from injury. Khan’s full second tweet reads:

“In addition to a great summer domestically, it’s been a huge summer for @AEW internationally including great news that #AEWDynamite #QuakebyTheLake with @JonMoxley vs @IAmJericho for the @AEW Interim World Title + @CMPunk’s epic return did our UK record viewership on @ITV4 Friday.”

You can check out the tweets below.

Some analysts predicts that AEW will score their biggest viewership and demo increase for this Wednesday’s show due to the Moxley vs. Punk match, as well as the trios tournament matchup between the Death Triangle and NJPW’s Aussie Open & Will Ospreay.

Anthony Ogogo Opens Up About Weigh-In Segment With Cody: “F***ing Dogsh*t”

AEW star Anthony Ogogo recently appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vilet to discuss a number of pro-wrestling topics, which included the former Olympian’s thoughts on his feud with Cody Rhodes in 2021.

The two were set to meet at that year’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view from Daily’s Place in Florida, AEW’s first major event with a packed house since the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020. Prior to the match the hard-hitting Brit and the American Nightmare had several segments to build their feud on Dynamite, with one being memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Ogogo and Rhodes met for a weigh-in segment hosted by Paul Wight, but things went horrendously wrong. Wight had issues reading the scale and fireworks from a local baseball game went off that caused a great distraction. The segment seemed never ending, and since there was no physicality it left everyone with a bad taste in their mouth going into Double or Nothing.

When talking about the weigh-in…Ogogo could not think of one nice thing to say.

“Fucking dogshit mate, fucking dogshit!”

He later reveals that he thought the idea was lame even before the fiascos occurred inside of the ring.

“So Cody said to me that we were going to do a weigh-in. I’m like ‘Cool, so what’s going to happen?’ And Cody is brilliant, he is brilliant at what he does and he has got a great mind for it. [Cody] was like ‘We are going to do a weigh-in.’ I’m like ‘Cool, who is getting knocked out? What are we going to do.’ [Cody responds] ‘It’s a weigh-in, we are not going to touch.’ I’m like oh, I have watched enough wrestling to know that that’s a bit drab, a bit of shit.”

Ogogo doesn’t just call the whole segment a disaster, but believes he was the biggest victim of its failure.

“Mate the whole thing was disastrous, but I feel like I’m the victim. It was my first kind of entry, and I am in this really weird segment that wasn’t my idea. I would have rather knocked out Goldust, knocked out Dustin.”

Rhodes would go on to defeat Ogogo at Double or Nothing. Ogogo has been largely absent from AEW’s main programming (Dynamite & Rampage) ever since.
