AEW Dynamite delivered another strong show, and with All In rapidly approaching, the rest of the card is starting to feel as hot as the main event story.

Tim and Dug break down Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega’s INCREDIBLE start to the show, another fantastic night for an unhinged MJF, Swerve Strickland’s return and sudden involvement in the Trios Championship picture, Chris Jericho doing exactly what he should be doing with Kevin Knight, and a Continental Cup that might be getting a little too complicated for its own good.

Plus, Kris Statlander’s next move raises some fascinating questions about Maya World and the TBS Championship, Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita are headed for a collision at All In, and Jon Moxley vs. Jack Perry delivers the match of the night.

Also: Mick Foley’s adventures in interviewing, possible future appearances from Bayley and Joey Janela, the birth of the Hot/Mild/Mayonnaise rating system, and one extremely determined cat.

AEW Grand Slam Mexico delivered a loaded, nearly three-hour edition of Dynamite from Arena México, and Tim and Dug have plenty to praise, along with several booking decisions that left them baffled.

They break down MJF’s surprise return and his claim that he remains AEW’s rightful world champion, Andrade El Ídolo’s outstanding match with Tommaso Ciampa and Komander, and why Ciampa’s increasingly weird “Psycho Killer” presentation desperately needs a clearer direction.

Plus, Kyle Fletcher and “Speedball” Mike Bailey beat the hell out of each other in the match of the night, Will Ospreay showed a more ruthless side against Mark Davis, and Hangman Adam Page and Brodido unexpectedly captured the AEW World Trios Championship from The Demand.

Tim and Dug also discuss:

• Whether Chris Jericho is quietly beginning his retirement tour
• The electric atmosphere inside Arena México
• MJF channeling the right version of Ric Flair
• The questionable path that earned the Brawling Birds an All In title match
• Kris Statlander and Persephone struggling with an unusual crowd reaction
• Darby Allin and Kevin Knight restarting their rivalry
• Kazuchika Okada confronting Kyle Fletcher
• AEW’s confusing new Continental Cup
• The returns of Eddie Kingston, Nigel McGuinness and the Motor City Machine Guns
• The potential surprises waiting in the All In Casino Gauntlet

Grand Slam Mexico was not perfect, but its pay-per-view-caliber wrestling and major All In developments gave Tim and Dug plenty to be excited about on the road to Wembley.

AEW Dynamite delivered a strong first step on the road from Redemption to All In.

Plus: Maya World vs. Persephone, Jon Moxley vs. Komander, growing tension inside the Don Callis Family, the Brawling Birds promo that made Tim yell at his television, a very long episode of Dynamite and the matches AEW may be building toward at All In.
