Match list for Weds:

AEW Tag Team Championship: The Gunns (Colten Gunn & Austin Gunn) defend against Top Flight (Darius Martin & Dante Martin)

Kenny Omega vs. El Hijo del Vikingo

Jon Moxley vs. Stu Grayson

Toni Storm vs. Skye Blue

No DQ match: Hook vs. Stokely Hathaway

Darby, Sting and Orange vs Kip, Butcher and Blade.


Looks like it will be a fun show.  Vikingo vs Omega should be a lot of fun.  As will Stu and Mox beating on each other.  Top Flight very well could win here as well.

Is there any follow-up from last week's Pillars segment?

They're not throwing in a triple threat to determine a contender to MJF?

Who knows. Seems like a bunch of smaller stories moving forward this week instead. Maybe the rest are on House Shows this week.

Got some news on where Dino man has been. Apparently there is a lawsuit involving his mask and merchandising rights. Looks like they made a new mask, and Tony did not want to use it, then the company that made the masks asked them to come to a licensing agreement then for the old mask and shit went south. Been in courts for months now.

More general news, people are saying All Access is a really interesting show. Also seems like Tony has insane timing starting this show and putting cameras on Britt as it captured all of Cole's injury and rehab, which is said to be a major focus. Britt believes there will be keyfabe involved so sadly no match planning or booking shit shown.

People followed at home are said to be Cole and Britt, Sammy and Tay, and the Bucks.  Others will appear mostly backstage.  Sayara and Kingston were noted to have large roles.

Media blitz for the match with tons of sites doing stories on it. Match I would not remember that was dropped was Omega vs Vikingo as the AAA Triplemania main event before Kenny got hurt.

Meaningless to some, but for people who care about the interconnected AEW wrestling world, this really is a big match.

Haven’t you learned the AEW formula yet?

-big segment gets everyone talking
-pretend it didn’t happen for two weeks
-randomly announce a match on twitter for Dynamite

Gonna bet we get a quick 30 seconds from MJF tonight calling them all jabronis, then that leads to a match announcement for next week.

I kind of want the 3 pillars to feud for a bit though. Drag it out until DON and have it end in a Fatal Fourway. You could get some wicked matches involving those 3. But that won’t happen. Tony doesn’t book that way unless the Elite are involved.

RT

I thought the formula was :

- Book big segment that gets everyone talking.

- Forget about it.

- Book random match on Dynamite months later and call it " long term booking "

#bookeroftheyear

Tony got to keep that format of goods shows being followed by shit shows. Canada mixed things up a bit, but sure next week we will get right to formula.

I am sick of the lessor three pillars and frankly would not miss them at all if they were not on TV anymore.  Sure they will just end up feuding Darby and Sammy and letting Jungle Boy fight Christian forever.  

Should start bets on the Women's match. Anyone think they will get even 5 minutes?

And as is par, anyone think we will see Taya tonight or will she just vanish for a few weeks?

I love how Skye Blue is the personal jobber of whatever Saraya and co. are calling themselves.

At least it isn't Willow Nightingale. Somehow she's been demoted to ROH. I'll forgive it if she wins the title though.

They call themselves The Outcasts and it makes me want to barf. They're straight up ripping from the Outsiders/nWo invasion of WCW with the spray paint and everything and I fucking hate it.

It's like someone wanted a proper storyline in the women's division and more Toni Storm/Ruby Soho on TV but wished it with a monkey's paw.

I do not mind the Outsider stuff. I really dig this version of Storm too. Hoping it leads to fun 6-women matches.

Willow floating between RoH and Dark right now so not fully gone. Think only Eddie is RoH exclusive from the AEW crew.  I suspect this is because he wanted time off and could do like months of matches in a week.

Speaking of bad booking decisions, why are The Gunns the champions?

Think to move the titles from Acclaimed to Top Flight doing the stupid cannot have faces fight faces logic.  I expect a title change tonight.

Good question I have, where the fuck is Swerve? He had four matches this year...

I'm actually a fan of the decision. They had a long winning streak before their feud with FTR & The Acclaimed. They're shitheads that run their mouths but back it up in the ring, kind of like MJF does. And everyone hates them so when FTR kick their asses and take the titles back everyone will love it.

Still think FTR are walking next month.

That is a good question. I like Swerve. Both him and Keith Lee disappeared.

I think Mogul Affiliates was poorly received so they scrapped it and we won't see Swerve until they think of something new for him to do. Add it to the list of groups/stories they tried and decided to pull after realizing they didn't like it.

Keith Lee has been appearing on Rampage and Dark with Dustin Rhodes. They seem to have formed a partnership for some reason. I haven't kept up enough to explain why, but Keith Lee stopped dyeing his hair which is kinda cool.

Really wonder what the plan is with Miro too. He got three more years. That is a long ass time to pay someone you are not using out of spite basically.

What's the reason for not using Miro?

Rumor is when Black wanted his break Tony wanted Miro to take over as the leader of the House of Black. Miro said no and creative had nothing for him since. Miro has a side hustle in real estate so he has just went all in that while he is out.

Miro is like super freaky religious so House of Black was a big ask for him to play basically an occultist.

Hangman back with the Bucks... Interesting.

WHO ATTACKED THE BUCKS OF YOUTH!?

Love OC's face paint.

And of course Orange opening.

For a moment I thought he was doing tears down his cheek which had me going 'uh, I dunno if I'd do that...'

Point Darby point!!!

Looks like Double or Nothing will be a fourway after all.
