Less than a week after the forbidden portal remained closed, AEW presents its second show of 2020.

https://twitter.com/AEWrestling/status/1213501823027417089
Welcome to All Elite Wrestling's Tribute to Memphis wrestling and Anniversary Special from the 'Greater Memphis Area' or Southaven, Mississippi.

First up on the active card is not a match but a conclusion (hopefully!) AEW World Champion Chris Jericho has offered #1 Contender Jon Moxley an opportunity to become a not-quite equal partner in Chris Jericho's organization the Inner Circle, and presumably give up his potential title match with Le Champion in the process. As it is only 3 days since the IWGP Untied States Heavyweight champion was confronted by the King of the World Minoru Suzuki in the Tokyo Dome, will this perspective on his future cause Moxley to accept the offer from the devil or will Moxley have an explosive negative response to Jericho's thirty pieces of silver

The first match on the docket was made last week by Sammy Guevara speaking on behalf of Proud and Powerful Santana and Ortiz during a SCU promo. He targeted Daniels as being the weak link, a past-his prime old man with nothing to add to the web forum based trio. Daniels took exception to the taunting and tried to damage Sammy Guevara's newest camera he received for Christmas. Will the Fallen Angel get more revenge by beating Guevara, or is the Old Man Murderer Sammy Guevara really happening in 2020 and will Sammy find a way to face and beat CIMA next week?

Next up is tag team action as the relatively new tag team of Page and Omega face Private Party in a match stemming from Page's millennial cowboy depression. Page has been interacting with Private Party on Being the Elite infrequently for the past month or so as his emotional state has deteriorated and it came to a head on Dynamite as he cut off a Private Party promo at the Jacksonville Jaguars private box bar to swipe some whiskey before calling the main even six man tag team match. During the confrontation with Private Party, Page implied he could be the two of them himself, so look forward to Kenny having to The Cleaner up Page's mess tonight.

More tag team action as it is brothers vs. brothers, as the Rhodes brothers take on the Lucha Brothers in a first time meeting between two very good tag teams. The Lucha Brothers have, despite being incredibly charismatic and wonderful performers, been kind of dicks to various members of the Elite and greater Elite family (taking out Daniels with a package piledriver, attacking Kenny Omega while he was looking for Nakazawa, losing the mega campeonato to Kenny in Mexico) the Rhodes brothers have other factors weighing on their minds as MJF laid out his stipulations for what it would take for him to face Cody at Revolution and Dustin has been feuding with Jake Hager over who loves the troops more. Will this weaken the resolve of the Rhodes brothers and lead to the Lucha brothers getting back in the title hunt, or will the Rhodes boys pick up the w.

In the match showcasing how AEW has talent go from "who" to "must-see", it's the best trio in the god drat universe, consisting of Orange Cassidy, Big Greg and Young Dustin taking on Jungle Boy Jack Perry and his problematic friends, the dinosaur with a master's degree in medieval history and the Mississippi originated Marko Stunt. The Jurassic Express have taken the hug spot from the good guys, they have taken the lovable underdog babyface spot from the good guys, and now they are going to eat a Strong Zero, the orange juice mist and an Awful Waffle and job out to the best team in AEW.

https://twitter.com/AEWrestling/status/1214495817433792512
And finally the match I am actually most exited for, the AEW Women's World title is on the line as Riho defends her belt in back to back weeks against the Galaxy's Greatest Alien Kris Stat(lander). Either of these two winning this match would be phenomenal, and with Riho getting a new gimmick of being yelled at in a language she doesn't entirely (or at all) speak both have fun story options for holding the belt. And the specter of the Nightmare Collective looms heavy over a Kris Stat win as they have been trying to bring the alien might into their weird crew of, I guess, hit squad for Cody. It's not super clear who is calling the shots for why the Nightmare Collective are taking people down, but they want Kris Stat in the fold and the AEW Women's World title is going to only make that more active.

All this and presumably some more and some pitches to the future on AEW Dynamite on TNT.

The faces he makes while posting are inexcusable! When he writes a post his face is like a troll double checking bones to see if there's any meat left! When I post I look like a peacock softly kissing a rose! Didn't his parents provide him with a posting mirror to practice forums faces growing up?

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


I have to put myself on team Kris Stat for the women's match. I like Riho and I have enjoyed her matches during her reign but if she beats Statlander I'm not sure what other championship stories you tell with her. She's beaten Nyla, Britt, Emi, Hikaru, and a combination of three of the above. I'm just not sure what stories are left, especially for someone with an underdog character. Take the belt off her and I think you open up multiple story opportunities (teaming with Kenny, rebuilding her confidence, etc).

On the other side of it, right now I can see more stories for Statlander with the belt than without. There's a host of AEW women I'd like to see her face (a Swole match would rock, a Nyla match too) and it would shake up the scene nicely.

I should stress that I won't mind if it goes the other way. I just have Kris as my preference for now.
