What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
The latest showdown in AEW’s women’s division delivered a match that was both hard-hitting and telling of where the promotion is headed with its talent. Megan Bayne squared off against Harley Cameron in a bout that carried intrigue despite the result feeling somewhat inevitable from the outset.
Bayne’s Dominance Continues
Accompanied by Penelope Ford, Bayne entered the ring with an air of confidence, knowing full well the momentum she has been gathering over the past few months. However, Cameron wasted no time, rushing Bayne in the corner to gain an early edge.
The advantage didn’t last long.
“The Megasus” weathered the storm, showcasing her raw power with a unique belly-to-belly suplex that shifted control in her favor. The moment was a clear statement—Bayne is built for dominance. As the show cut to a break, she remained firmly in the driver’s seat.
Cameron’s Grit and Upside
Upon returning from the commercial break, Cameron mounted some offense, proving why she has earned praise as a standout performer. But as much as she brought energy and determination, this felt like a match that was never truly in doubt.
Bayne’s trajectory as a major player in AEW’s women’s division made the outcome clear. She wasn’t going to lose against a competitor whose gimmick involves being best friends with a puppet. That said, Cameron delivered an admirable showing, proving she can hang with the best.
Post-Match Chaos and Future Implications
Following the win, Ford and Bayne continued their assault on Cameron, making it clear that AEW’s women’s division still thrives on rivalries that extend beyond the ring. That was until Anna Jay made the save—armed with a piece of wood—setting the stage for future confrontations.
The Bigger Picture
Bayne’s victory only adds fuel to the growing expectation that AEW won’t hold off much longer on officially crowning her with championship gold. The crowd reception alone suggests it’s more a matter of ‘when’ than ‘if.’
As for Cameron? She remains a dark horse contender. Though Bayne stole the spotlight, Cameron’s impressive mic skills position her as someone who could step into the title picture before 2026—perhaps even by AEW World’s End at the latest.
Final Verdict
This match may not have been the flashiest or the most technically precise, but its importance cannot be overstated. Both competitors brought intensity, enthusiasm, and storytelling that made the bout stand out in an already stacked night of action.
Match Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 5 Stars
The road to Double or Nothing just got a little more intense, courtesy of Jon Moxley. Flanked by Marina Shafir, Moxley stormed to the ring in true renegade fashion, clearing out security guards like they were nothing more than obstacles in his path.

Once inside the squared circle, Moxley didn’t waste time. His promo was equal parts venom and determination—a declaration that his fight against Joe will be nothing short of a war. There was no hesitation in his voice, no doubt in his demeanor. This was a promise, not just to his opponent, but to the fans: Moxley will leave everything in that ring to secure victory.
With the brutality that both men bring to their matches, this showdown in Chicago is shaping up to be a collision that fans won’t soon forget. If Moxley’s words are any indication, Samoa Joe should brace himself for the fight of his life.

From intensity to execution, this was Moxley at his best—unapologetic, unpredictable, and absolutely locked in.
AEW delivered another hard-hitting showdown as Brody King faced off against the company’s newest signee, Josh Alexander. Thankfully, Don Callis was nowhere to be seen, allowing the focus to remain on the action inside the ring.
From the start, King’s size advantage was evident, as he easily scored the first takedown. However, Alexander displayed his technical prowess by targeting King’s arm, setting the tone for a methodical battle. The slower pace early on allowed both competitors to showcase their strategic approaches before the intensity ramped up when they started exchanging strikes.
The match flowed differently from the rest of the show, but that contrast worked in its favor. King was a monster, imposing his will with raw power, while Alexander proved he was a calculated competitor who knew how to neutralize an opponent’s size advantage.
Though this wasn’t a flashy, high-speed contest, it was a brutal fight that reinforced Alexander’s ability to hang with AEW’s most dangerous strikers. Their pacing ensured the final moments would be the most thrilling, delivering a dramatic conclusion.
As the announcer warned of the final minute, King landed his devastating finisher. However, Alexander smartly rolled out of the ring, forcing a time-limit draw. While some fans may have been frustrated with the result, this was a masterful use of a draw—one that elevated both men and left the door open for future battles.
Lance Archer entered the fray to back up Alexander, but King wasn’t about to back down. He launched himself in a suicide dive, taking them both out. Still, the duo managed to regroup, leaving King down at ringside.
Result: Time Limit Draw
This match was another fantastic heater for Alexander, proving his ability to compete at AEW’s highest level while maintaining his role as a compelling heel. Kudos to Tony Khan for booking Brody King strong while allowing Alexander to shine in his early AEW outings.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5/5 Stars)

AEW Collision continues to deliver thrilling professional wrestling, and this week’s episode was no exception. The card featured a mix of hard-hitting competition, entertaining promos, and standout performances that made for a compelling show.
Match Highlights
Both women’s matches showcased the talent and charisma of their competitors, but Toni Storm stole the spotlight with her post-match promo. She continues to prove why she’s one of AEW’s best talkers.
The Fatal 4-Way provided the kind of high-energy, fast-paced action that keeps fans on the edge of their seats. Meanwhile, the main event was a tag team masterpiece, demonstrating why AEW’s tag division remains one of the best in the business.
However, the true highlight of the night was King vs. Alexander. Their time-limit draw was a natural escalation of their intensity, making both men look like absolute warriors. They left room for future battles, but even so, this was one of the best matches of the evening.
Commentary Shake-Up
Adam Cole on commentary all night was a refreshing change of pace. AEW should consider utilizing wrestlers in this role more often—when it makes sense and when they are comfortable on the headset. His presence added another layer to the show, making the entire event feel dynamic.
The Good
