🟦 REVIEW — All Elite Wrestling

Presented by Ed & Gordon.

🎙️ DESK INTRO

Ed: “Fans, AEW didn’t just step on the gas this week — they floored it! Dynamite’s Summer Blockbuster came out swinging with tournament drama, title fights, and a steel‑cage bombshell that shook the whole landscape!”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most turbulent and compelling week — rivalries escalated, championships were defended, and the road to Forbidden Door grew ever more treacherous.”

🟥 AEW: WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEEK

AEW entered the week riding the fallout from Collision, and by the time Dynamite hit Cincinnati, the entire company was in motion:

Swerve Strickland advanced to the Owen Hart Cup Finals after defeating Brody King in a brutal main event.
Jon Moxley retained the Continental Championship against Shane Taylor — but STP left the Death Riders laying afterward.
Mark Briscoe defeated PAC and forced MJF into a massive stipulation: Team Briscoe vs. Team MJF — 6‑on‑6 Steel Cage at Forbidden Door, with a world title shot on the line.
Andrade El Idolo defeated Orange Cassidy, continuing his push toward a world title opportunity.
Maya World upset Skye Blue to advance in the Women’s Owen Hart Cup.
Darby Allin returned, attacking Kevin Knight with a skateboard.
Chris Jericho and Tommaso Ciampa brawled, escalating their feud.

Swerve Strickland def. Brody King Prince Nana interfered with the ring bell, allowing Swerve to advance.

Gordon: “A most cunning victory — Strickland blended strategy with ruthlessness.”

📰 AEW NEWS & RUMORS

Mercedes Moné’s status

Moné addressed rumors about her absence and reaffirmed her AEW commitment.

MJF’s knee injury

MJF confirmed he would still appear on Dynamite despite injury concerns. During the June 3 AEW Dynamite episode, MJF successfully defended the AEW World Championship against RUSH. He hyperextended his knee in the match, which was confirmed as a real injury causing swelling and pain. Credit: Sports Illustrated

Jericho backlash

Jericho responded to criticism over the “Tommy’s Mommy” segment. Chris Jericho’s “Tommy’s Mommy” moment came during the June 10, 2026 episode of AEW Dynamite: Summer Blockbuster, when he was feuding with Tommaso Ciampa. The exchange began when Ciampa confronted Tony Schiavone, and Jericho interrupted, repeatedly calling Ciampa “Tommy.” Ciampa retorted that he’s the “Psycho Killer” and that not even his own mother calls him Tommy. Jericho then quipped, “Tommy’s Mommy,” prompting the Cincinnati crowd to chant the phrase. Credit: ewrestlingnews

Isiah Kassidy’s absence

Not injured — simply not being used on TV currently. Private Party has been dealing with another setback after Marq Quen was confirmed to be out of action earlier this year. During the April 2 episode of AEW Collision, Kassidy addressed Jon Moxley and revealed that Quen had been taken out with no clear return timeline.
“Fast forward to last weekend. I’m forced to change again. Because you took out my boy. And now he’s out. And I don’t know when he’s coming back. So now I’m all alone.”

CM Punk rumors

Internal belief that the door isn’t fully closed on Punk returning someday. Fightful Select reports, “AEW sources gave me the “never say never” line when I asked if CM Punk has a burned bridge with the company.”

🟦 THIS WEEK IN WRESTLING HISTORY

Ed: “Fans, before we wrap up, let’s take a stroll down memory lane — because this week in wrestling history has delivered some absolute classics!”

⭐ June 10, 1994 — Misawa vs. Kawada

One of the most celebrated matches in All Japan history, a cornerstone of King’s Road storytelling.

⭐ June 9, 1997 — Raw Is War

The Hart Foundation’s U.S. feud hit full stride, setting the stage for the Canadian Stampede.

⭐ June 11, 2005 — Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk (ROH)

Their legendary trilogy reached its peak, redefining independent wrestling.

⭐ June 8, 2008 — New Japan Dominion Begins

The early Dominion era helped launch NJPW’s modern renaissance.

Gordon: “A most illustrious collection — each event shaping the sport in its own indelible way.”

🎙️ DESK OUTRO

Ed: “Fans, AEW is barreling toward Forbidden Door with the force of a runaway locomotive — and if this week was any indication, the next chapter is going to be explosive!”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most compelling week — and the road ahead promises even greater intrigue.”

📍 Live from a packed mid‑week crowd that was red‑hot from bell to bell.

From Portland, Maine.

AEW Dynamite & Collision — May 20, 2026 Results

Credit: All Elite Wrestling, Sports Illustrated and Wrestling Inc.

The May 20, 2026 special back-to-back of AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision in Portland, Maine served as the final build to Double or Nothing. Here’s a breakdown of the key matches and moments.

Dynamite Results

Trios Match: Ricochet, Andrade El Ídolo, and Mark Davis def. Chris Jericho & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson). The Dogs interfered, allowing El Ídolo to pin Matt Jackson. Post-match, Jack Perry hit Toa Liona with a bag of onions, sparking a brawl with The Don Callis Family, The Demand, and The Dogs — a preview of the Stadium Stampede main event.
Anything Goes Match: Mark Briscoe def. Tommaso Ciampa. The match was brutal, featuring kendo sticks, staplers, and barbed wire. Briscoe won after hitting a Froggy Bow and a piledriver through a barbed wire table.
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Kyle O’Reilly — Time Limit Draw (20 minutes). O’Reilly earned a future title shot at Double or Nothing with no time limit.
8-Woman Tag Match: Triangle of Madness (Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue) & Athena def. Thunder Rosa, Mina Shirakawa, and the Brawling Birds.
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin (c) def. “Speedball” Mike Bailey via submission (Scorpion Death Lock). MJF joined commentary, tried to help Bailey, and even attempted to shave Allin’s head — a tease for the Title vs. Hair match at Double or Nothing.

Gordon: “A most deliberate psychological tactic — and one that clearly rattled the champion.”

Collision Results

Katsuyori Shibata vs. Will Ospreay: Ospreay won, setting up his Owen Hart Cup run. He told Samoa Joe he has “his whole country on his back” and aims to win the Cup before challenging for the world title at All In.
Rush vs. TJ Crawford: Rush won.
5-Minute Eliminator: Divine Dominion (Lena Kross & Megan Bayne) def. Kayla Lopez & Elle Valentine — a quick, one-sided win.
AEW World Tag Team Championship: FTR (c) def. Orange Cassidy & Roderick Strong via gold watch/Stokely. The titles remain on the line for Double or Nothing.

Ed: “That was less a match and more a catharsis — and the fallout is going to be seismic!”

Notable Storylines & Hype

Willow Nightingale revealed a shoulder injury, vacated the TBS Championship, and withdrew from the Owen Hart Cup.
MJF’s interference in the Dynamite main event and his “bald” threat to Allin were major Double or Nothing foreshadowing.
Stadium Stampede main event set: 14 men from multiple factions will collide at Double or Nothing, with Jericho & The Young Bucks’ loss to El Ídolo, Davis, and Ricochet as a key setup.

This was a high-octane, three-hour special packed with title defenses, eliminator wins, and major PPV storylines, making it one of the most action-filled nights before Double or Nothing.

MJF Accuses WWE Of Using AEW TV Deal Rumors To Deflect Criticism From Their Own Product

“AEW has an insane amount of momentum. There’s a paradigm shift going on similar to the paradigm shift that was happening back in 2019. People are disenfranchised at WWE right now. They want to see a different type of product. In comes AEW. We are the alternative. We are the Pepsi to the Coke. There will always be room for Pepsi. Always.”

“Well, because it’s a way to hold the competition down, right? So, when you look at how these rumors started, where did they come from? They came from WWE, TKO, right?” Credit: ringsidenews.com

“While speaking during a Self Made Session, Self Made Pro revealed that many people previously viewed Slater eventually joining WWE as practically inevitable. However, AEW talent and figures within the company are now pushing for AEW to aggressively pursue the rising UK star instead.

“Months ago, it was considered a formality that he’s going to WWE. And I’m not here to tell you that that’s not happening anymore. But what I am telling you is that there are many people in AEW pushing for them to look into exploring their options to basically sign him.”” Credit: ringsidenews.com
