Justin Barasso is claiming Jericho/Tana is one of the big matches for Wrestle Kingdom. Which is hardly a shocker, to be fair, as they clearly set it up at Dominion, and even if Jericho's still the AEW champ, Tanahashi could feasibly lose the match and not lose anything.

Plus the top two titles are transparently going to be Ibushi/Okada and White/Naito, so may as well get Tana in a SPECIAL SINGLE MATCH

Will Ospreay and ZSJ should just tour the indies having bangers with the most out of shape, garbage-bag pants, sleeve tat soupcans and watch WWE offer then all 6 figures. Instead of doing it with actually talented guys and having them sentenced to work 4 minute TV matches for an audience of 15 people on the Network.

Why would Ilja side with Gallus who is already a 3 man heel stable instead of the two outnumbered faces??

I forgot what his first name was. His teeth are a bit jagged and he's got a mick foley ear, but has zero charisma and are trying to treat him as some vicious heel, but he's just loving boring since his gimmick is just "dude with half an ear"

Wasn't sure if I should post this in the WWE thread or not. I don't know much about it personally to be honest. I just know there's smoke to the fire. Meltzer has reported they are keeping Liv Morgan off TV to repackage her and she has a new look.

There have been talk/fan theories for quite some time that they are putting Liv Morgan together with Bray Wyatt. MAYBE she costs Seth night.

Yeah, I think the idea was to even the odds, but the way that's written is very weird unless Gallus were making the save for their fellow Celts while GYV beat them down or something. Like, it sounds like they ran in, got the match thrown out only to be attacked by the heels for... reasons?

Even in the first UK show, despite Cole not being produced by Vince, you could tell he had notes on the format saying "Talk up Conners. V. big upside", and I just don't get it.

It's because that is what Mox fought Janela under and Kenny has to match Mox.

Post-Dynamite: Kenny Omega defeated Joey Janela in an unsanctioned lights out match

Spoiler: This got insane. Luckily, both men walked out under their own power.

Justin Roberts stuck with the unsanctioned rules of saying AEW wasn't sanctioning this match after the lights went out and back on. Why unsanctioned? They never explained. Even though they were a bit tired, nearly everyone stayed around for this and got into it quick with "Kenny Kenny" chants and the Terminator clap.

Janela brought a chair in early, but we got Omega chops and a Janela tope early on. It didn't take long for more chairs and a ladder to get brought into the ring. Janela laid them all out in the middle of the ring and threw one at Omega's head. Omega later got the upper hand with a bulldog onto the chairs and a big Terminator dive outside.

Omega hit two Dragon Sleepers in the ring and despite Janela trying to fight him off, he hit another one on the ring apron to a "holy sh*t" chant. Omega teasted a One-Winged Angel on stairs on the floor, but Janela reversed into a belly to back suplex to regain control. Janela rearranged the stairs and made a table bridge (upsdie down) between that and the ring apron, but didn't use it right away, tossing Omega into the ladder a few tmes instead. He reversed Omega into a nasty looking belly to back on the ladder. Ouch.

We got lots of V-triggers, a Janela brainbuster and standing superlex off the top, and several near falls. Omega took a lot of punishment, going into the ladder and a back body drop on a folded up table with the metal legs exposed.

Janela set up a ladder in the ring and laid Omega on a table. He climbed nearly all the way up and missed a frog splash, allowing Omega to regain the advantage. A big Omega clothesline off the ropes and a double-armed DDT still wasn't enough. He then took a bad looking bump on that aforementioned table bridge, but was ok. Janela hit a double foot stomp on a chair laid out on Omega's chest, but that only got two. To say this is wild is an understatement.

Janela set up a series of chairs back to back to back and laid Omega chest first on the top of them. He then went to the top, but Omega escaped and battled Janela, trying for a superplex. He eventually just tossed him off spine first on the chairs in one of the nastiest spots you'll see that doesn't feature blood. Omega hit a V-trigger to the back of Janela's head and hit another V-trigger on a folded chair for the pin. Jesus. You need to see this.

Omega did a promo and put over both Janela and the fans, doing his signature signoff.

I just saw a video of it and the pin was actually off a One Winged Angel to an opened up chair, which is a whole lot more brutal.

Yeah, I saw it live and this was the win. It was one of the most brutal things I've ever seen in the ring. Like, too stunned to clap brutal.
