Welcome to the fallout from AEW Dynasty, folks. We had a massive weekend of wrestling to cover, but first things first: Tim won the Dynasty predictions game. Because of this glorious victory, Tom was forced to wear an incredibly off-center, painfully awkward Jeff Jarrett shirt. It was a beautiful sight.
This week on the Wrapup, Tim and Tom are breaking down everything that went down at the pay-per-view, plus the massive shockers from Dynamite and Collision.
Darby Allin Shocks the World: We get right into the biggest news of the week. Darby Allin squashed MJF to win the AEW World Championship. We talk about Ash’s voicemail regarding the lack of build-up, but ultimately, we agree that unpredictable, sudden title changes on weekly television keep the product fresh. We also talk about Darby taking on a modern-day Mick Foley role and that incredible post-match celebration featuring the wild contrast of Sting and Brody King.
Kenny Omega & Will Ospreay: After both men took clean losses at Dynasty, we look at their backstage interaction. We discuss Kenny’s physical wear and tear, whether he has one more main event run in him, and how Ospreay might pivot his focus straight back to Jon Moxley.
The Chris Jericho Problem: We do not hold back here. Jericho’s return and his victory over Ricochet have us officially frustrated. We vent about his TV time and why we are desperately hoping this storyline wraps up soon.
AEW’s New Heath Ledger Joker: Thekla completely stole the show with her chaotic “dumb bitches” promo against Alex Windsor. We are loving her unpredictable energy and hope she keeps leaning into this completely unhinged persona.
What is going on with Lio Rush?: Lio Rush went from wearing expensive suits to sitting in a corner acting like a goblin with zero backstory. We try to figure out what this gimmick is supposed to be, comparing it to a weird comedy sketch.
This Week in AEW History: We close out the show with a little trivia. Tom tries to remember exactly who hijacked the Forbidden Door announcement back in 2022.
