Swerve Strickland is back in AEW — and suddenly we have questions. Lots of questions.

Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams break down Swerve’s surprise return on AEW Dynamite and his immediate confrontation with new AEW World Trios Champions Hangman Adam Page, Bandido and Brody King.

Then Ricochet asked the question that sent our fantasy-booking brains directly into dangerous territory: if Swerve wants to come after the Trios Titles…who are his two partners?

With Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed (Xavier Woods) free of their WWE obligations, could AEW be teasing something nobody expected? Swerve, Kofi and Creed together? We have absolutely no confirmation. We do, however, have a microphone and very little self-control.

Plus, we dig into the rapidly developing road to AEW All In: London, including:

• Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay finally drawing the battle lines ahead of their AEW World Championship match.

• Mercedes Moné and Willow Nightingale getting VERY personal as their Women's World Championship showdown approaches.

• MJF continuing to proclaim himself the real World Champion while fighting for position in the Casino Gauntlet.

• Kyle Fletcher vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada and the possibility that the Don Callis Family is about to eat itself alive.

• Jay White, Jon Moxley and the Continental Challenge Cup.

• Kevin Knight, Chris Jericho, Darby Allin and the TNT Championship picture.

Is Swerve about to get some very familiar new friends? Is Omega vs. Ospreay finally becoming personal? And which All In stories have us most excited as Wembley approaches?

It’s Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out: AEW discussion from wrestling fans who love the show enough to spend an unreasonable amount of time arguing about it.

We love. We laugh. We babble.

How the hell did Andrade El Idolo become one of the most charismatic babyfaces in AEW?

Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams are back to break down AEW Grand Slam: Mexico, the incredible atmosphere inside Arena México, and the unlikely rise of Andrade from frustrating first-run AEW signing to a wrestler who suddenly feels like one of the biggest stars in the company.

And we have to ask: are we starting to see a little Eddie Guerrero-like magic in Andrade? Not because he's trying to be Eddie, but because of that rare combination of swagger, humor, authenticity and effortless connection with an audience.

Then we look at the bigger story coming out of Mexico: the AEW–CMLL partnership is becoming one of the most important relationships in professional wrestling.

Bandido. Komander. Máscara Dorada. Persephone. Hechicero. Místico. Andrade. Lucha libre isn't a special attraction on AEW television anymore. It's becoming part of the company's identity—and we're loving it.

AEW went to Arena México and gave us a glimpse of what an increasingly international version of the company could look like.

And somewhere along the way, Andrade El Idolo became a babyface we absolutely cannot stop rooting for.

After weeks of waiting, AEW finally feels like it's sprinting toward All In.

Blade Daily is joined once again by the delightfully unpredictable Books and Bodyslams, who may or may not have enjoyed a few beverages before (and during) the show—with increasingly hilarious consequences. Somewhere along the way, she also delivered an impassioned—and very unfiltered—rant aimed squarely at one William Ospreay for daring to stand across the ring from Kenny Omega.

Between the laughs, the chaos, and the occasional interruption from Books' inner Kenny Omega defense attorney, the crew breaks down one of AEW's strongest weeks of television in months.

Topics include:

• Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay's electric face-to-face that officially launched one of AEW All In's biggest matches

• Will Ospreay walking away from the Death Riders and Hangman Page promising to have his back

• Willow Nightingale's emotional reception as the new AEW Women's World Champion

• Willow and Mercedes Moné delivering one of the best promo exchanges of the year

• The online backlash to Willow defeating Thekla—and why wrestling fans seem incapable of agreeing on title changes

• The Motor City Machine Guns arriving in AEW to a massive Detroit ovation

• Wondering whether Jay White is dealing with another injury

• Plus plenty of detours, tangents, laughter, and the kind of wrestling conversation that only happens when Books starts feeling extremely comfortable.

If you love AEW, Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay, Hangman Page, Willow Nightingale, Mercedes Moné, and talking about professional wrestling without obsessing over ratings, backstage gossip, or doomposting, you'll fit right in.
