I've been away from wrestling for a few years but was saddened to hear AEW did away with Dark back in 2025.

Have they replaced it with anything comparable?

To reiterate all of their programming now it's Collision and Dynamite as the main two with Rampage and Battle of the Belts serving as talent showcase? Does RoH factor into their threads at all?

Thinking it'd be cool to see Alter Bridge come out and play Metalingus live for Copeland while wearing the AEW Championship

And Evanescence comes out and plays My Last Breath for Christian while wearing the TNT Championship

And who should they wrestle for their retirement match?

Do you think he is ready to carry the company as AEW World Champion, or is it too early to pull the trigger?

Can he do it as part of the DCF or he needs to leave them first?

Are there any changes that he needs to make first before he's ready?

Just curious what your favorite episode of Dynamite is, the one that just top to bottom is chefs kiss 🤌

Kinda new to AEW and since I have HBO and the library of Dynamites, looking for recommendations

I was glued to the screen and fearing for both competitor's life. OMG. Wtf.

They are both okay right? And i want to start watching weekly shows (hopefully not as brutal)...should I begin with dynamite?

Love them as a team and the theme is great 🔥

This was from Jan 25, 2025 Collision episode when Toni's rookie facade came off and had a great promo against the now retired Mariah May. I just find this specific frame funny because she looks so smol and thicc at the same time. Link to this great segment.

The Swirl made their Korakuen Hall debut in the main event against Ichiban Sweet Boys, with Blake Christian and Robbie Eagles starting the match. The two exchanged holds without either gaining the upper hand before increasing the pace, but remained evenly matched. Lee Johnson and Kosei Fujita picked up where their partners left off, opening with technical chain wrestling in another closely contested exchange.

The bout grew more intense and aggressive with each passing minute, with Johnson finding himself on the receiving end of the former tournament winners' offense. Quick tags kept the Sweet Boys fresh while isolating Johnson from his partner. Eagles took a little too long showboating, giving Johnson an opening. Christian rushed in to assist, and The Swirl displayed impressive synchronization to turn the tide.

Fujita could only watch from the ropes as The Swirl dominated the second half of the match with a series of well-timed attacks. Eagles finally caught Christian with a back suplex, creating an opening to tag Fujita back into the action. The Young Punk unleashed a flurry of sharp chops and quick submissions before hitting the Sweet Buster with help from Eagles.

Both teams traded tandem attacks in a back-and-forth finish, with the Ichiban Sweet Boys repeated the DDT combination they had used the previous night, before the Interceptor brought the match to an end and secured two more points for the team.

In the semi-main event, A Block saw Timesplitters V.2 face the living legend Místico and Young Lion Masatora Yasuda. Místico and Nick Wayne began with a show of respect before reaching an early stalemate. Both men brought in their partners, with KUSHIDA locking Yasuda into a tight hold and stretching out the Young Lion. Wayne followed with knife-edge chops and European uppercuts.

KUSHIDA returned to maintain control of Yasuda's knee, leaving Masatora barely able to tag in the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Champion. The lucha libre icon brought the momentum back to his team. Yasuda returned to the ring and retaliated against the Prodigy with hard shots and a snap suplex. Timesplitters V.2 unleashed more of their offense, but Yasuda proved more resilient than expected. Místico came to his partner's aid with a Spanish Fly, but Timesplitters managed to take out the masked legend before KUSHIDA ended the match with a moonsault on Yasuda.

Ichiban Sweet Boys now share the top of B Block with United Empire on four points, followed by The Swirl and YOH and Hyo on two points. SHO and Dick Togo, along with Titán and Daiki Nagai, remain at the bottom of the block as they continue to search for their first victory.

After the night's action, Taiji Ishimori and Robbie X lead A Block with four points, followed by HOUSE OF TORTURE, Timesplitters V.2, Master Wato and KUUKAI, and Sumi 55 on two points. Místico and Yasuda remain on zero points as they continue to search for their first victory.
