LUKE: The best ones will be read out on tomorrow's WrestleTalk Podcast

Comments

Zack Turner

Haven't seen it yet. I'm sure it's better than king of the ring lmao

Victor Oceguera

I’m here rn and Ospreay vs swerve is about to tear the house down this crowd is absolutely phenomenal I was at this years revolution and let me tell you I might be having more at forbidden door!!! I’ll reply to this after the main event happens letting everyone know how it was my prediction is that it’s gonna be the best ever

KiddGaskin98

Great show. Hope Taro Okada gets Syuri to revenge him and stardom. Syuri vs Thekla at redemption

Steveo Mac

I'm watching live and with Ospreay v Swerve left I can already say it's one of the top 5 PPVs of all time.

Marcin Saturday

Can Zack Sabre Jr find some trunks that fit? I haven't seen a lot of his matches but the ones i have I've been distracted by the loose fitting gear. It makes him look like he's wearing a diaper, and what's worse, in certain moments it looks full. He's a brilliant wrestler, but maybe if he switched out for shorts or made his trunks slightly longer. Maybe he should do some more squats to fill it out more or maybe I'm in the wrong and that style is all the rage in Japan. Either way it's his decision, and all respect to that match.

Lawson Douvier

Not over yet, but just have to say that Mercedes and Maya World was ridiculously good. Maya moth than held her own and Mercedes shows again why she’s just the best. And both the NES and Lio Rush are over as hell. I personally also love Excalibur correcting Tony on his “best women’s match” with a simple “best match”. And I really missed Fletcher.

Gregory Stewart

Still going on, unfortunately. Great show, but each match should have been about 10 minutes shorter. Some matches overstayed their welcome, like the opening tag match and Pac/Umino.

Jerrod Hazelwood

In kayfabe, in wondering what Jay White was thinking as Lio Rush was moving around in the bag as they were both under the ring

Brendy

Sure the build is weird, and visa issues can mess things up, but I like Forbidden Door. It is the place where dream matches become real

Joseph Machado

A bit long for my taste but damn Maya World v Mercedes Moné gave me the second wind I needed for the back half of the show...HOLY HELL OSPREY IN A BANE MASK?!

Andre Magic

This might be the first time I've seen Darby ever regret a spot. The look of "Oh shit" on his face was hilarious.

Brody Allsep

So does Thekla drop the title at Redemption or a special Dynamite episode? Love her, and maybe she could turn the corner from awesome heel to badass babyface, especially considering who won the Owen, but otherwise we have 2 months to work towards a heel vs heel match. I'll reassess by rewatching from when she returned in the Owen, but I am just tired of Mercedes Moné. Just go away heat for me personally. (Could just be the music though.)

Russell M Triton

Leo Rushs Gollum chasing the ring had me laughing so hard it hurt. Great show from to finish.

Sam Sullivan

Maya World Vs Mercedes Moné might be my match of the year, I honestly think you could and maybe even should have had Maya win that, and it sounded like the crowd did too. Other than that, Lio Rush continues to be the best character wrestler, and the rest of the show was... A competent PPV.

Joshua Shepherd

I love this show. I think I have a new favorite cage match. My personal highlight, the return of Switchblade!!

Godzilladreamer

Show has been great, but I'm getting worried that AEW is slowly getting longer and longer with their shows. They used to only last 4 hours (not including the buy in) and now it feels like they almost always go 5 hours. Hope they don't keep extending the PPV time, cause I don't want them approaching Mania 35 levels of long.

RLT Sandwich

It's 12:18am here and the main event is maybe 5 minutes in. This show is too long despite it being a great. It hinders my overall enjoyment of the show. That being said, Mercedes vs Maya might have found a place on my list of favorite women's matches of all time. I went from being a grumpy gus because I'm not a fan of Mercedes and I knew she would win, all the way to sitting with an elevated heart rate and a massive smile on my face as I fully bought in to Maya pulling off the upset. I was sad she tapped but it was the right decision for Mercedes to go over. What a match.

Pollo

The Lights Out Steel Cage Match wass interesting and good the bandido. Vs Moxley. Was whatever’s I don’t mind blood spots as we got a good amount in this show but I just don’t like set up the way they did it

Don

Great ppv. A bit long, but the only matches I could've seen shaving time were the opening tag (should've ended with la mistica) and Pac/umino. I really thought Bandido was going to win with how they were building Mox disrespecting him during the first half of the match Lots of fun spots throughout especially the cage match and seeing Okada in the cuck chair. Can't believe the main event is Bane v Lobo. Feels like the story of Will and the DR is Mox is Emperor Palpatine trying to turn Will to the dark side with Kenny going to be Obi-Wan. Holy smokes what an insane main event Amazing how Maya World turned a 3 min squash match into the match of the night of a ppv. The best ability really is availability. Worst match for me was Dogs v C&C Music Factory since the build was lackluster, but Jay White returned, so 5 stars no notes.

Mohammed Albanai

As someone who only watches AEW and WWE, I enjoyed the show and thought the wrestling was great but I only felt invested in the AEW vs AEW matches (with the exception of thekla vs starlight kid).

Matt Adams

Very long show, but great! One great match after another! Cage match was insane, but a dumb name. The main event was a masterpiece plain and simple!

Brandon

yeah that was sick as hell

Evan

Will Ospreay is the most interesting character in wrestling, today. One year ago he was surrounded by the death riders and they'd just broken his neck. Now they are hoisting him high as friends. Top to bottom really good show, Jay White is back!

oak_slaney

I think this is the best ppv in terms of match quality I’ve ever watched live. Every single match at least an 8/10 and the incredible main event is my new match of the year. The storytelling and action was incredible. The other two ‘main events’ as they were calling them were very good too, and despite the weird on and off start due to Maya’s gear her match with Mercedes was far better than expected and the cage match a lot of fun.

Will B

Swerve and Ospreay was absolutely incredible. I was a bit worn out at the end because of the emotional roller coaster the ending minutes put me through

oak_slaney

Who’s better, Billy Gunn or the NES?

Nova

After that swerve, osprey match it's the only left to say is show of the year, nearly perfect top to bottom imo and what a way to make a star out of Maya World it's impossible not to root for her I really started believing the near falls what a fantastic match.

Angelo Merenda

Will’s the f-ing best. So is swerve. So is Sami while we’re at it. It’s been incredible to watch these two grow after being at Full gear 2023 for will’s debut and the Texas death match. It was so worth it investing my time in these guys through the so called “bad times.” Wrestling is awesome. Also Dan, did you catch the western conference finals? I know it’s your favorite. Ps. Mercedes is also the best.

Peter Brantuas

I live in Alaska, so the show started at 4pm and ended at 9pm. Kinda like watching back to back football games, which a lot of people do every week during the season. Great show, 4 legit instant classic matches, 2 sleeper hits and a tag title match that was good and brought back Switchblade. Don’t bitch about length when it’s nothing but quality.

Andrew M.

I love the circle cage as a premise. Keep it up. The fact that I could tell people were saving their energy for will and swerve was.... So promising

Brady Murphy

I, the Death Riders/Jon Moxley/Will Ospreay superfan, no longer care about that story because The Switchblade Jay White is back baby! It’s all I’ve get ever cared about get worked marks. Guns up! Jam that jam!

Jason Downey

I'm definitely going to need to watch it again, but Osprey vs Strickland might be my new favorite match of all time

General Jimmy G

Mox: "Will I shall teach you my most powerful skill... how to bleed like a pig". Swerve: Anything you xan do i can do better. I think Nigel got uncomfortable with the blood loss. But Oh my days that was a good match.

FightForever3301

Maya World is PHENOMENAL!!!!! Also I loved the rest of the show, only thing that was missing in my opinion was an appearance by United Empire at the end of the show to confront Will for his association with the death riders ( And give him something interesting to do for redemption while we wait for All In)

Chris P

After Don Calis was "responsible" for constructing the exploding barbed wire death match, I was concerned about him "making" this cage. Glad to be pleasantly surprised, I thought the circle shape was awesome

Dukect

This was a great show AEW PPV are banger after banger this year. Now with Jay white coming back I have him winning the world title by December

Sam Sullivan

Also, generally not as bothered by finisher spam as some people, but when both Will and Swerve has been through hell and were drenched in blood there is *no* excuse for a kickout at 1. Stop that.

Tim Rushing

Banger after banger after banger! Switchblade legit had me jumping out of my chair! Osprey eating a House Call and staring at Mox at ringside gave me goosebumps. And man… Will is gonna bring it home! Oh! And Andrade has the best shirt that will probably never be sold, but absolutely sell out immediately!

Kitty Kat

I already know the discourse surrounding the Swerve/Ospreay match will be. "Too many finishers!" "Too many kick outs!" Fucking yawn. Both these men know each other so well and have such rich history together, it makes perfect sense. Plus, they dressed up as superhero/villains for their entrances, I figured we were going to get something like this lol

robin l.

9,5/10 besides the cage&cope vs dogs match every match got me on edge all the time That Team MJF vs Team Briscoe match in the round cage was such a fun match especially the gimmick with every Backpack filled with weapons Side note in kayfabe Darby bombed knight off the cage

Pogo is here

i think the juice in kyle's cut might be the most painful thing i have ever seen on aew lol. But what this main event has done is remind me how good swerve is and how he has earned a 2nd world title run.

Vic Cutting

Outstanding show, while double or nothing was more consistently good and had a better build, I think I liked this show better. Swerve ospreay 3 is my match of the year, and omega Zack isn’t far behind. Devastated maya world lost but it was kinda obvious in retrospect. Thekla needed a big win over starlight kid Jam that jam

JonoabboFE

Best show of all time. Every single match banged.

Kane Murray

I feel like a corkboard conspiracy theorist, but the world title match at All Ins have followed some loose theming All In 2023: The winner is the friends we made along the way All In 2024: The winner is family & what you would do to make your children proud All In 2025: The winner is the hope you find in your darkest hour With all that said, at All In 2026 the winner will be found family lifting you up when all seems lost. Death Riders have been the most interesting thing in wrestling for a year + now, & Will Ospreay's win here wouldn't feel as special without them.

Kane Murray

(for the record, the loose theming is hope wins and I love it)

BaldBoigh17

As someone who was there live (whatacroooooowd), I can say that when the main event started the crowd was way too tired considering it had been over 4 hours since the start of the PPV. AEW is on fire right now and I love the product, but I really do believe the PPV’s are too long. Thank you guys at WrestleTalk for the podcasts, keep up the awesome work!

Jamie Brown

Walker Stewart on commentary has a voice made for WWE. Excalibur is the best commentator in wrestling right now

JonoabboFE

Coming out of this show, I had 3 contenders for match of the night. After much deliberation over the last few hours, I now have 4 contenders for match of the night. What a show.

Reece Hatfield

When WWE has Slim Jims on their tables, everyone complains. But when AEW has Don Callis and MJF on theirs, no one says a thing! The AEW bias is real. On a serious note, while I preferred Double Or Nothing and Revolution because the matches were less predictable, this was the best AEW show of the year in terms of in ring action. The only match I could have done without was the tag title match, but every other match was 4*+

Alexander Crockett

I think Will is now on the path to becoming the number one baby face in the company (hangman still number one). As much as I love the death riders doing there thing with him the heat they would get and the crowd reaction at Wembley would be generational if they turned on him at all in. Meaning he would have to go again, but this time more dangerous with everything the death riders have taught him and with it being so close this year. Mox vs will at all in next year would be massive if they do this. Just look how big Cody vs Roman 2 was because Cody lost the first time

Ilan Woll

What a show. ZSJ v Omega lived up to the hype, Maya World is a star of the future. We got a party match that actually advanced stories and feuds, and most importantly had a Lord of the Rings tie in, and OMG that main event was arguably MOTY. Add in that every other match was good, and no Jericho, and this was an A plus show.

Seth Colegrove

It probably wasn't the best match of the night (I thought it was 2nd or 3rd personally), but the match of the night for me was Starlight Kid and Thekla. SLK is so good, and the way they have told this story has made Thakla's animosity for Stardom feel real. Even though I knew Thekla was never going to lose, there were a couple near falls that had me thinking Starlight Kid had done it. A bonus for me though is this match got my wife excited and she was actively cheering for Thekla in our living room throughout. So good stuff, on another great AEW show.

Sir Fudds Pennyworth

Ospreay/Swerve III might just be one of, if not my new favorite match in all of AEW. What a fucking match. AEW has reignited my deep love and passion for wrestling, and I couldn't be happier to start watching it when I did. Thanks for convincing me boys. Jam that jam.

Mani Umaria

I like Lio Rush’s new persona. Do you have ideas about that the lore he is trying to create? I hope he isn’t making up as he goes along! 🫣🤣

Martin L.

Being in attendance for Ospreay/Swerve was so amazing. We were loud for the nearfalls, especially towards the end and the story of Osprey winning the title at wembly with the help of the death riders is awesome. Although I dknt recall Osprey using his armbar finisher? Amazing night overall. Being live for an Omega entrance/match was also a goal of mine I can cross off

Matt

I popped way more of the Jay White return than I ever expected myself to

Jeremiah Culver

Was realllly rooting for Zack to beat Kenny. NJPW feels like it’s more and more an AEW developmental when AEW just takes all their stars. Good show

reallyjustjamer

Long as hell (but when is is an AEW PPV not) but basically no bad matches at all. Even the most okay of them (the tag title match in my opinion) at least had the Jay White return to make me happy. And as much as I loved the main event, Moxley v Bandido is probably my match of the night. I just want Bandido to be world champ now

KFizzle4

That was, without a doubt, the greatest birthday gift I've ever received.

ggnore

ALOT of wrestling but well worth the runtime imo, I thought the both the Owen's cup finals were damn near perfect for me

Anton Palmgren

Extraordinal show! The cage match was a great HC party match, fanatic story telling and work in Ospreay vs Swerve, but ZSJ vs Kenny was one of the best matches i’ve seen in years. The perfect blend between styles. Pure pro wrestling. I’d like Zack to stay in NJPW, and be a special attraction for AEW. What do you think? Also, happy marriage Oli!

Brent

I couldn't watch Forbidden Door until yesterday but I need to say I was wrong about Maya World. I only watch her on AEW TV/PPV where she mostly lost so I don't know what she has done on RoH or the indies. So when she was replacing Saraee in the Owen, I was like "Why her when there are other women higher in the card that weren't in the Owen?" I felt using the death of Maya's brother was a way to do a lesser version of Rey Mysterio's push with the backdrop of Eddie's death decades ago. I wasn't excited for Mone vs Maya but their match was amazing regardless of a couple of spots being wonky for Maya. I understand what Tony Khan sees in Maya now. He has a chance to make a new star in AEW but I feel like Maya will most likely win the RoH Women's Title from Athena. I know "Strong in Defeat" is a bit overrated but Maya World was definitely "Strong in Defeat".
