Hey, you. YEAH. You. C'mere. You gotta try one of these...
Oh my GOD that's a good pickle. Kind of like the most recent AEW PPV. So, what happened and what's next?
MJF and Bryan Danielson had an all-time ironman classic, and Max has continued proving the doubters wrong.
Jamie Hayter has continued showing why she's the foundation of the AEW women's division, but also, WHY RUBY WHY?! The battle lines continue being drawn...and so do the STARS!
The House of Black have finally been crowned AEW trios champions after an incredible match against The Elite, and continue having the raddest aesthetic in the game.
Ricky Starks beat Chris Jericho clean...TWICE! In the span of two months! The Revolution is being televised.
FTR have returned, but for how long? Are The Gunns' world tag titles safe? Will FTR get them back and then travel the world? Stay tuned.
Christian > Edge. Jungle Man > Jungle Boy. What a goddamn match.
The TNT title scene is on shaky ground. Will Wardlow keep the title for long, or is he about to become a chapter in the Book of Hobbs? Who will grab the brass ring, and will there even be a TNT title on the Dynamite after Revolution after the title was stolen?
Who's up next for MJF? Is it time for the Hangman to step back into the spotlight after a brutal Texas Death Match war against Jon Moxley?
There are many questions ahead with answers that are probably just around the corner.
-Where's Jade? And which of your faves will take her down?
-Are we about to see the return of Kenny Omega singles matches?
-How many Jay Lethal matches will we see?
-Will Paul Walter Hauser ever get his Golden Globe back?
-Where's TRENCH?
-Who will return first?...Andrade, Miro, Kris Statlander, Leyla Hirsch, or Thunder Rosa?
-Will CM Punk ever apologize?
-What's your favourite brand of store-bought pickles?
Happy Year of Riho, everyone!
An AEW Primer
Where can I find out more about AEW?
- The AEW YouTube page (excellent resource for latest highlights, preview shows, post-shows, etc.)
- The official AEW website (check out the roster page to see who's currently in AEW, read Dynamite results, etc.)
- The AEW Wikipedia page (a good history lesson)
- AEW early history lesson video
Where can I watch AEW television and PPVs?
- AEW Dynamite: Wednesdays @ 8PM EST on TNT in the United States and Canada, or on FITE.TV everywhere else
- AEW PPVs: brlive.com (US and Canada), FITE.TV (rest of the world)
What if I want to catch up on EVERY episode of Dynamite?
You can! They're all available for free on BR Live.
Are there other AEW shows in addition to Dynamite?
Yes!
- AEW Dark: Elevation airs on Mondays at 7PM EST, and AEW Dark airs on Tuesdays at 7PM EST on the official AEW YouTube page. These shows largely feature unsigned and/or younger talent wrestling against main roster performers. Elevation has more of a focus on story and character moments, while Dark is usually just matches.
Is there any other ancillary content I should be aware of?
While not 100% necessary, if you want to go beyond official AEW shows, you can also check out:
- Being the Elite YT page (the most essential of all of these. It's a skit show that often has important story morsels and lots of roster cameos. Highly recommended)
- The Sammy Guevara vlog (lots of cameos from AEW talent, and backstage videos. Sometimes crosses over with Being the Elite)
- Nightmare Family YT page (lots of early AEW history in the oldest videos going back to the All In show)
- Plenty of wrestlers have their own YT pages too, such as Ethan Page and Matt Hardy. Explore on your own. :)
