I have an open mind about the Toni/Ronda prospect. Mainly because I want Timeless "MMA Jeff Jarrett" Toni Storm training for her fight tapping out toddlers in BJJ tournaments and such like. The idea of a Swerve/Hangman 2 man power trip intrigues me also...

My low-stakes conspiracy is that Andrade asked for hot women plants at ringside to fawn over him as the first thing in his new AEW contract. Maybe he asked for the world title too, the way things are going. Slightly preferred the Swerve match, think they gelled better than with Omega, but was still the best I've seen Omega for a long time.

What's Windsor and Hayter's team going to be called? Winds of Hayte sounds like Viking Metal... or something that happens the day after Indian food.

I would love a whole season, maybe the finale, to see Dexter actually on the run. A full-on nationwide manhunt for the most prolific serial killer of all time. It's not really the show's way, but I'd love to see them weave in news reports of normal civilians' opinions on who, by now should be known as a vigilante killer of killers.

Actually logged into my long defunct IMDB account just to rate that episode a 10. Oof.

Hangman working his way through the DCF to only end up in a triple threat with Okada and Takeshita intrigues me immensely. Easy out too when Tak/Okada take each other out for Hanger to get the win. Then they can start their rightful best of forever series.

Loved all the fan service in the first episode. Got all of the exposition out of the way and set the table for the rest of the season too. Been so long since the cast was announced I had forgotten who would be appearing, looking forward to being surprised again in future episodes.

It's AEW's 3rd best gate ever and the best North American non-wwe gate ever too. They're doing alright for a t-shirt company. I was thinking, with Darby being climbing Everest and being associated with Sting, he should 100% get Stingers old snow entrance from now on. Imagine Mox having Hanger set up for death and then it starts snowing in Texas... Also, has anyone called the Redwood "My Big Beautiful Bill" yet? Because they're missing a trick if they haven't .

Pahaha you crazy Americans and your place names, meanwhile I live near Cockburn and Gaywood .

The women's side is STACKED. Excited to find out the brackets, think they're being announced on Dynamite?

I think we all were

Yeah the crowd wasn't loud for anything, she'll get better reactions in other places. Although one thing AEW doesn't do enough is recap packages for returning/debuting wrestlers. WWE puts them to shame for that. Loved Hayter's Super Hayterade.

Athena loses a TBS title match at Dynasty, then puts the RoH title on the line at Y'All In to entice the Belt Collector into a title vs title rematch.

All 3 of those matches seem to be foregone conclusions

Dexter might have met his match if he's going up against the Bride . Great cast. Anything that gets more Krysten Ritter in my life is good with me.
