AEW Revolution 2023 Results

March 7, 2023

Revolution 2023 Date: March 5, 2023 Location: Chase Center, San Francisco, California Commentators: Excalibur, Taz, Jim Ross We’re back with another AEW pay per view and that should mean something really good. The television shows haven’t been the strongest in recent weeks but that has never stopped the pay per views from being special. The main event will feature MJF defending the World Title against Bryan Danielson in an Iron Man match, which should be…uh, long. Let’s get to it. Zero Hour: Lucha Bros/Mark Briscoe vs. Varsity Athletes/Ari Daivari Mark Sterling are here with the Varsity Athletes (Tony Nese/Josh Woods) and Daivari. Nese poses at Penta to start but Penta is right back with CERO MIEDO. All six come in to strike it out with Penta and Nese being left alone in the ring. Made In Penta gives Penta a quick two before Daivari has to save Sterling. The villains take over on Penta by whipping him into the corner and Woods adds a suplex for two. The Athletes double suplex Penta ..

Ouch: AEW Personality Says He Might Have Suffered A Broken Jaw This Week

February 21, 2023

That’s one way to go. There are all kinds of injuries in wrestling, some of which can be a lot more serious than others. As a physical sport, you never know when you are going to see someone get hurt in the course of a match. At the same time, there are also injury angles that are used to progress a story. The latter seems to be true in this case, and someone has something to say about it. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: On The Mend: Update On Injured AEW Star’s Recovery Status This week’s edition of Dark: Elevation saw Tony Nese and Ari Daivari face the Lucha Bros. During the match, the Lucha Bros superkicked Nese and Daivari’s manager Mark Sterling. Following the match, Sterling said that “they think my jaw might be broken”. Sterling also bragged about the ratings for the show being so high. There is nothing to indicate that this is anything more than a storyline. In regards to tonight’s @AEW main event… I’m ok. First, It was a heinous attack and they think my jaw might be broken. Secon..

Triple Threat: Three Superstars Make Surprise Returns On AEW Dynamite

February 16, 2023

They’re back. There are all kinds of reasons for a wrestler to be gone from a show and it can make for quite a moment when they make their return. You might see a wrestler’s return advertised or it might come as a surprise, but what matters is how they come back for a big event. That was the situation this week, with three wrestlers making their returns on the same show. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s In: Reigning Champion Officially Signs With AEW Three returns took place on this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite. First, the Lucha Bros returned to help Mark Briscoe deal with Tony Nese and Ari Daivari. The team had been off television due to visa issues.

AEW Signs Former NXT And Ring Of Honor Star To Full Time Deal

October 28, 2022

Welcome to the team. The rise of AEW has changed the way the wrestling world works. The company is able to offer all kinds of spots to different wrestlers who might never have another chance. It offers wrestlers a chance to get on the main stage that is not there with WWE dominating the market. Now another star who was once a part of WWE is going to have a place to stay. According to Fightful Select, Josh Woods has signed a full time contract with All Elite Wrestling. Woods has been appearing for both AEW and Ring Of Honor since Supercard of Honor in early April. Woods is a former Ring Of Honor Pure Rules Champion as well as a former NXT star, having worked for WWE 2014-2016. During his time in AEW, he has mainly teamed with Tony Nese. Opinion: Woods is one of those guys who will always have a place in the wrestling world as he has the amateur wrestling background to back everything up. That is something that has worked so well for years now and it will continue to do so for a long t..

AEW Rampage Results – October 21, 2022

October 22, 2022

Rampage Date: October 21, 2022 Location: Daily’s Place, Jacksonville, Florida Commentators: Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, Excalibur We’re live this week and not taped after Dynamite for a change. We’re also back in the old stomping grounds of Jacksonville and the card happens to be stacked with three title matches in an hour. That should be enough to carry the show, though Rampage has a bad tendency to underwhelm. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Tag Team Titles: Acclaimed vs. Varsity Athletes The Acclaimed is defending and it’s titles vs. the SCISSOR ME trademark. The Athletes tease an early scissoring and get jumped from behind, only to send the champs outside. Back in and the Acclaimed break up some more scissoring and a powerslam plants Woods. Caster gets knocked outside, where Billy Gunn chases Tony Nese around. That’s enough for a Gunn ejection, much to Sterling’s delight. We take a break and come back with Bowens getting the tag to come in and clean house. Everything breaks do..

AEW Champion Reportedly Injured During Rampage Tapings (Contains Mild Spoilers)

September 22, 2022

It can happen to anyone. An injury is the kind of thing that can take any wrestler out of action in the blink of an eye. You never want to see someone get hurt but no matter how well trained a wrestler may be, there is always the chance that someone is going to be injured. That might have taken place this week in a show that has yet to actually air on television. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Wardlow suffered an injury, possibly to his leg, at some point during the taping of AEW Rampage Grand Slam. Wardlow teamed with Samoa Joe to face Tony Nese and Josh Woods. There is no word on if the injury took place during or after the match, though Wardlow was able to take part in a post match angle. The match will air this Friday night on Rampage. Opinion: Hopefully Wardlow isn’t too badly hurt, if he is hurt whatsoever, because you never want to see someone put on the shelf. Wardlow is still one of the bigger deals in AEW and it would be awful to see him miss time with any kind of a..

AEW Rampage Results – August 5, 2022

August 6, 2022

Rampage Date: August 5, 2022 Location: Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, Michigan Commentators: Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, Jim Ross We’re a day away from Battle Of The Belts and that is probably not going to mean very much. Other than that, we have a street fight this week between Keith Lee/Swerve Strickland and Josh Woods/Tony Nese, after Woods attacked Lee last week. In addition, Madison Rayne will be making her AEW debut which could be interesting. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Jon Moxley vs. Mance Warner Non-title and William Regal is on commentary. Before the match, we get a video from Warner, who is quite the Tennessee style talker. He promises to fight Moxley (rather than dance with him) because he has heard Moxley talk about how much he loves to bleed. Now Ole Mancer is here to become the man. It’s a brawl in the aisle to start with Warner sending him into the steps before biting Moxley’s head. They get inside for the bell and are back on the floor literally two seconds l..

July 9, 2022

Rampage Date: July 8, 2022 Location: Blue Cross Arena, Rochester, New York Commentators: Excalibur, Taz, Jim Ross We’re in for a pretty stacked show this week with Konosuke Takeshita vs. Eddie Kingston and some Ring Of Honor stars, including World Champion Jonathan Gresham, getting their TV time. Throw in Orange Cassidy vs. Tony Nese for Swerve Strickland’s AEW contract, because reasons, and let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Eddie Kingston They shove each other around to start and then head to the mat, with neither being able to go anywhere. Excalibur lets us know that we just saw a replay of Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Mitsuharu Misawa. Kingston takes him down and cranks on both arms, with Takeshita reversing into a double crank of his own. That reversal is reversed into another reversal before the rope gets Takeshita out of trouble. The head into the corner with Kingston firing off the machine gun chops.

AEW Rampage Results – July 1, 2022

July 2, 2022

Rampage Date: July 1, 2022 Location: Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, Michigan Commentators: Jim Ross, Excalibur, Tony Schiavone We are done with Forbidden Door and that means it is time to start moving forward. In this case that means we need a new challenger for Jon Moxley’s newly won Interim World Title. We can find that out tonight in what sounds like a Royal Rumble for the #1 contendership. That should be enough to carry the show so let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Royal Rampage So this is a two ring battle royal, but not in the traditional sense. Instead, there are two rings with a separate battle royal going on in each. Once there is a single person left in each, they will have a two man battle royal for the shot. It is also Royal Rumble style entrances and it’s Hangman Page/Powerhouse Hobbs in blue and Darby Allin/Tony Nese in red to get things going. Nese kicks Allin down and poses as Hobbs powers Page around. Page low bridges Hobbs to the apron as Ricky Starks is in the r..

That alone should fill in a good bit of the show, as we get a battle royal and then a Jon Moxley match in the show’s main event. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Casino Battle Royal This is the battle royal with four groups of wrestlers coming in at unspecified intervals before the Joker is the 21st entrant, with the winner facing Jon Moxley later tonight. We’ll start with the first group: Clubs: Eddie Kingston, Darby Allin, Tony Nese, Daniel Garcia, Lance Archer It’s a brawl to start with Archer and Allin being left alone early, though no one is eliminated.

AEW Double Or Nothing 2022 Live Coverage And Results

Double Or Nothing 2022 Date: May 29, 2022 Location: T-Mobile Arena, Paradise, Nevada Commentators: Jim Ross, Excalibur, Tony Schiavone AEW is back on pay per view and that should mean good things. The main event will feature CM Punk challenging Hangman Page for the World Title, but the question is around MJF. While he is scheduled to face Wardlow in a match a long time in the making, he has had some issues with AEW and there is a chance he won’t show up. That wouldn’t exactly be great to see so let’s get to it. Buy In Show: Tony Nese/Mark Sterling vs. Hookhausen Hook and Nese start things off with Hook taking him down without much trouble. Danhausen comes in and is allowed to grab a headlock before Nese runs him over. The curse is loaded up but Danhausen goes with the middle rope hurricanrana instead. Nese drops Danhausen again and it’s Sterling coming in to stomp away in the corner. Sterling misses a legdrop though and Danhausen suplexes his way to freedom, allowing the tag off to H..

AEW Double Or Nothing 2022 Preview, Predictions And Thoughts

May 29, 2022

It’s time for another AEW pay per view and most of the time, that has been some very good news. AEW has a heck of a track record with pay per views, though things have been a bit weaker than usual in recent months. I don’t entirely know what that is going to mean for this show, but the card is absolutely huge with a staggering thirteen matches. Maybe they can make it work though so let’s get to it. Buy-In Show: Hookhausen vs. Mark Sterling/Tony Nese They aren’t starting with anything serious here as Hook and Danhausen are the latest comedy guys around here. There is a short form possibility to the two of them working together but I’d like to believe that Hook could mean a lot more than he is being given so far. Danhausen is one of the most unique guys around, and now he and Hook can do their thing here. That thing here would be winning, as Hookhausen has no reason to lose whatsoever. Hook can be the muscle for Danhausen as he does his wacky deal. That is all you need in something lik..

Maybe? Two More Matches Added To AEW Double Or Nothing Card (Kind Of)

May 12, 2022

The card continues to grow. AEW has an interesting pay per view schedule, in that they run quarterly events rather than a pay per view every month. That allows their events to feel a bit more special, as the fans are asked to wait longer between each event. We are less than a month away from their next offering and now we know a little bit more about what to expect from the show. On Sunday May 29, AEW will present its spring pay per view event on Sunday May 29 over Memorial Day weekend. This week on AEW Dynamite, a match was announced for the Double Or Nothing Buy In Show and another match might have been announced for the card itself. On the Buy In Show, the team of Hookhausen (Hook and Danhausen) will face Mark Sterling and Tony Nese. On the proper Double Or Nothing card, Wardlow is expected to face Maxwell Jacob Friedman. However, Friedman listed some stipulations that Wardlow has to achieve to make the match happen, including taking ten lashes and defeating Shawn Spears in a cage..

Rampage Date: December 3, 2021 Location: Gas South Arena, Duluth, Georgia Commentators: Taz, Ricky Starks, Excalibur This week we get to find out what happens after Cody Rhodes lit himself on fire to try and get people to cheer for him. That could make for a slightly weakened crowd, but I’m not sure how much of a difference it is going to make. At least the card looks good this week so let’s get to it. Opening sequence. TNT Title: Sammy Guevara vs. Tony Nese Guevara is defending and goes right after Nese at the bell. Nese is sent outside and the big running flip dive takes him down again, but Guevara bangs up his own ribs in the process. Guevara gets sent into the steps but comes back with some chops against the barricade. Back in and a gutbuster plants Guevara again and Nese gets to stomp away at the bad ribs. The double springboard moonsault gets two on Guevara, setting up a spinning kick to the face for two. The logical bodyscissors goes on and we take a break with Guevara in tro..

Welcome to the team! There are a lot of wrestlers on the AEW roster, as the company has put together a heck of a lineup.

AEW Signs Another Former WWE Star

October 27, 2021

He’s up next. AEW has been quite the game changer in just their few years of existence. While they have done all kinds of things for the wrestling world, one of the most important has been offering wrestlers another major promotion where they can ply their trade. That is something that has been missing from the mainstream wrestling world for a long time now, and it turns out that we are going to be seeing someone new in an AEW ring. Last week’s AEW Dynamite featured a cameo by former WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion Tony Nese, who was shown sitting in the crowd multiple times. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Nese has signed a contract with AEW, though the company has not yet announced a signing. Nese was released from WWE in June along with several other promotions over the course of the year. You might need a refresher.

Another Former WWE Star Appears On AEW Dynamite

October 24, 2021

Meet the new one. AEW has put together quite the roster over its history and part of that is due to bringing in new wrestlers here and there. Sometimes you need to add in some fresh blood, which is what AEW often does well. You can get those wrestlers from a variety of places and now it seems that they are at least interested in bringing in someone who used to wrestle elsewhere. During this week’s AEW Dynamite, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Tony Nese was shown sitting in the crowd multiple times and was acknowledged by commentary. There is no word on if Nese has signed with AEW or if he is scheduled to wrestle at any point in the future.

Several Former WWE Stars Are Now Free Agents, Can Sign Anywhere

September 24, 2021

Welcome to the fold. There are so many talented wrestlers on the free agent market today that it is hard to fathom. You have a lot of talented wrestlers in WWE and AEW but there are far more names outside of the two major promotions. That makes for some interesting situations as you never know when someone might pop up elsewhere. Now we have some more names available on the free agent market. Several names were released from WWE back in June, meaning that they would be under ninety day no compete clauses. Those clauses have since expired, meaning that main roster wrestlers released from the company are now free agents who are allowed to sign anywhere they like. These names include Ariya Daivari, Tony Nese, Fandango, Tyler Breeze, the Bollywood Boyz, Marina Shafir and Killian Dain. There is no word on where any of them will sign, though Dain still has a few legal issues to sort out before he can sign.
