Tim and Dug break down Kenny Omega going full heel on Will Ospreay, including their tense sit-down interview and Omega’s brutal attack to close the show. Plus, Jon Moxley and Jay White deliver a Match of the Night contender, but was AEW wrong to have Mox advance in the Continental Challenge Cup?

Also on the show: Maya World survives a fantastic TBS Championship four-way, Mercedes Moné and Willow Nightingale come to blows, Konosuke Takeshita targets Kyle Fletcher, AEW remembers it has a trios division, Kevin Knight blows up Darby Allin, and the guys try to figure out exactly what Swerve Strickland has planned for Wembley.

Plus: Why AEW needs to finally pull the trigger on Jay White, the Brawling Birds story still isn’t clicking, and Dug celebrates another trip around the sun.

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.

They also discuss Andrade’s excellent National Title defense against Nick Wayne and Jack Perry, The Demand winning the AEW World Trios Titles, Willow Nightingale’s emotional championship celebration and Mercedes Moné’s arrival with Divine Dominion.

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.

AEW Redemption delivered a strange mix of excellent wrestling, major title changes and a show that felt much longer than it needed to be.

Tim and Dug break down Kenny Omega vs. Kevin Knight, Willow Nightingale becoming AEW’s first Women’s Triple Crown Champion, Maya World winning the TBS Championship, Andrade capturing the AEW National Championship, “Speedball” Mike Bailey winning the six-way ladder match and Kyle Fletcher’s outstanding defense against Bandido.

They also debate whether worked concussion angles belong in professional wrestling, why several matches would have been better suited for Dynamite, whether Redemption’s position before All In made its biggest outcomes too predictable and what Will Ospreay’s break from the Death Riders means for Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley and the road to Wembley.

Is Will Ospreay really destined to win the AEW World Championship at All In, or is AEW quietly building toward another Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley war?

Tim flies solo to review the AEW Redemption go-home episode of Dynamite from Nashville. He breaks down the growing tension between Omega, Ospreay, and Moxley; Kevin Knight and Darby Allin delivering the match of the night; and why the Willow Nightingale-Thekla confrontation may have changed his Women’s World Championship prediction.

Plus: Is the Don Callis Family nearing a breakup? Why does the Cope and Cage match with Claudio Castagnoli and PAC feel like it came from a video game? Could Clark Connors become a major singles star? And did Dynamite do enough to make AEW Redemption feel important?

AEW Dynamite delivered a good night of wrestling in Boston but did the rushed build to Redemption make the show more confusing than it needed to be?

Tim and Dug break down Jon Moxley’s fascinating role as Will Ospreay’s “Mr. Moxyagi” and debate whether Ospreay is still destined to defeat Kenny Omega at All In. They also discuss Omega’s AEW World Championship celebration, Kevin Knight’s Redemption title shot and the growing possibility that Ospreay’s relationship with the Death Riders could end very badly.

Plus, Kyle Fletcher and Komander deliver the match of the night, Andrade targets the Don Callis Family’s championships, Cage and Cope get pulled into a crowded tag-team war, Chris Jericho brings back the Painmaker against Tommaso Ciampa, and Darby Allin’s victory raises more questions about AEW’s handling of Brian Cage.

The guys also examine Mercedes Moné and Divine Dominion’s main-event victory, the strange absence of the Triangle of Madness and whether AEW is trying to fit too many wrestlers into too many stories before Redemption.

AEW Dynamite Beach Break delivered two major title changes, one surprise return and a whole lot for Tim and Dug to debate.

Kenny Omega defeated MJF to reclaim the AEW World Championship, but what does Will Ospreay’s involvement mean for their All In showdown? Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita produced a brutal match for the International Championship, while Mick Foley found himself in the middle of the latest Don Callis Family chaos.

Tim and Dug also discuss Willow Nightingale’s return in the Women’s Casino Gauntlet, the increasingly complicated title picture involving Thekla and Mercedes Moné, Tommaso Ciampa versus Chris Jericho, the purpose of the Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley partnership, Jack Perry re-signing with AEW and the work AEW still needs to do before Redemption.
