All Elite Wrestling (On Triller TV and ESPN)

Grand Slam Australia to be taped Collision episode.

Probably the best we could've hoped for at this stage, at least it's not a barely-canon house show.

That said, I can't help but be concerned that booking Ricochet vs Swerve for Dynamite the week before shows their level of commitment to the show.

hmmm, terrible MJF-Adam Cole feud
terrible MJF-JJ segment

common denominator here...

great to see Megan Bayne (finally), but the Women's Casino gauntlet was a bit disappointing.

What are the odds of a Ospreay/Omega V Fletcher/Takeshita at Grandslam?? I'd need a spare pair of underwear if I got to witness that... I'd be happy with Omega V anyone, but I assume they'll keep the singles bouts for Revolution, but an Omega/Fletcher match would be top notch.

Bit harsh on Max, IMO. Only reason it was poor was JJ couldn't remember half of what he was supposed to say, and then just looked shit cos he was trying to one-up MJF. Max's promo was the reason I started liking him in the first place, rude, disrespectful and bordering on truth.

The 'last face of the company before it goes out of business' line was a classic.

maybe but now I'm way less excited about a match than I was last week

Coming out of Dynamite I'm expecting the following...

Moxley vs Cope

Ospreay and Omega vs Fletcher and Takeshita

Swerve vs Ricochet with a stipulation.

Hurt Syndicate vs Private Party for the tag titles

The Patriarchy vs Samoa Joe, Shibata and Hook

Daniel Garcia vs Adam Cole for the TNT title (I thought this was hinted at a possible future match-up following that little segment highlighting last week's Casino gauntlet).

Mariah May vs Toni Storm

Buddy Matthews and Brody King doing... something. Possibly a match against Pac and Claudio? They could be weaved into the Rated FTR vs Deathriders fued pretty easily considering Copeland was giving King a rah rah speech last week on Collision.

Does MJF vs Jarrett happen here?
Also, no idea what Hangman will be up to following the Christopher Daniel's match.

I was almost certain we were getting a late swerve and Toni Storm would face Mone instead. That could legitimately main event the show.


That's a strong card. Surely they aren't coming all the way down under for a 2 hour throwaway show with only 5 matches. They'll want to make an impact. Also, none of these matches are necessarily the 'money' matches that they'd be saving for Revolution anyway. You could run Mox vs Cope back again if you wanted to.
Ricochet vs Swerve is probably the only one that they could potentially hold off on, unless they want the third match, the blow off, at Revolution instead.

 

[nobbyiscool]

I don't normally watch spoiler videos for these t-shirt crates, but I wanted to know what was coming ahead of the Brisbane show.

I might have a late contender if they end up on the show! (Although it could be a high risk sweat stain shirt I guess...)

Apologies for the pic quality, it's clipped off youtube.

I don't really expect the card will be that big or that good.

I suspect we might be looking at something like:

Mariah vs Toni
Kenny & Ospreay vs Kyle & ? (Hopefully Takeshita, but who knows)
Private Party vs Hurt Syndicate

I think those are the big matches.

I agree that Buddy will be on the show somewhere.
I had thought we would be getting Jay White vs Wheeler Yuta. Nothing happened on that one today, but I think White is going to be on the show.
If we get the Death Riders, I don't think it'll be anything huge, I don't think we're getting the Cope title match on a Collision special. Maybe Mox, Claudio & PAC vs Cope & FTR with a stipulation.
With it being so early in the storyline, I don't know that Joe/Hook vs Christian/Nick Wayne is that interesting if it did happen.

Swerve vs Ricochet would excite me more than any of those matches, but I don't think we're getting it, and I'm devastated that it was announced for Dynamite a week before.

I know AEW are going to smaller arenas, but 1.5k is way too small (unless it's the Hammerstein Ballroom). They should find some places that fit 3-5k.

Good opener between Omega and Brian Cage.

That Jericho promo was freaking awful.

Prince Nana hitting Ricochet with the chair and then immediately dancing was hilarious.

Good to see Samoa Joe back, and also Megan Bayne from GCW.

 

[RossFC]

Just on AEW crowds and ticket problem. The Dynamite in 3 weeks time have only started selling tickets for the show now.

How the hell isn't this being done like 2 months ago?

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Agreed. 1500 is way too small for a Dynamite. Let alone Kenny’s first match back.

maybe their “research” is saying people won’t buy tickets for tv that far out and they want to have something announced? Remember there was some sort of embargo that you can’t announce information for something like 6-8 weeks after WWE has been there?

 

[RossFC]

Brody King has trademarked "Hounds of Hell". Could be the new faction name of King, Buddy and Julia Hart.

Grand Slam being shown on an 18 hour delay on NBA All Star weekend. Will have a big lead in with the basketball but it’s going to air very late. Whether that has any effect on what they do for the card who knows.

Meltzer is saying in the WON they're not announcing the PPV locations so far in advance, as last year they announced World Ends 8 months in advance and then WWE ran in the same town on the same day.

I don't think it is a similar situation for Dynamite, but just pointing out.

if it's airing so late, then there should be no obstacles to them showing it live on MAX.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Just air the bloody show live, you can still show it on delay late on Saturday night.

 

[Cleavy]

what time does the event actually start according to the tickets? 5:30pm Bris time, right?

 

[Cleavy]

savage response. a Mariah/Jamie feud would be good though

 

[nobbyiscool]

I'm pretty sure my original ticket had a door time of 2.30 and a show time of 3.30.

Sounds like some pre-show matches hopefully?
