It's a great Classic IC remake, but the plates are only about 2mil thick, not going to be durable!

What is your definition of casual? You watch AEW tonight? RAW this past Monday night?

What is your definition of casual? You watch AEW tonight? RAW this past Monday night?

I watch every now and then, keep tabs via YouTube vids and such, but I haven't watched live in a few weeks at this point. Might again soon, though, it just depends on my mood and what else is going on

Nia Jax def Lyra Valkyria to win Queen of the Ring

Gunther def Randy Orton to win King of the Ring

Good on Gunther to win; he joins a list of winners that includes Harley Race, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Triple H, Bret Hart, Brock Lesnar, Adam Copeland (then known as Edge), Sheamus and Wade Barrett.

Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill def Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell to retain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

Jade Cargill is finally getting her due as a wrestler; this serves as another 🖕 to Tony Khan.

Liv Morgan def Becky Lynch to win the WWE Women's World Championship

At some point the Man (Lynch) is going to get that title back. Just ain't today.

@PGen98, aren't they in your neck of the woods?

Huh, apparently they are, yep

 

[Dead2009]

Here's the wrestling dumbassery of the day......GCW stripped Blake Christian of the world title because he's in New Japans BOSJ and wouldnt be back in time to defend it next weekend. The BOSJ tournament literally ends a week after Cage of Survival, so you mean to tell me that they HAD to take the belt off him?

AEW Double or Nothing results

Will Ospreay def Roderick Strong to win the AEW International Championship

Bang Bang Gang def Death Triangle to retain the AEW Unified World Trios Championship

"Timeless" Toni Storm def Serena Deeb to retain the AEW Women's Championship

Orange Cassidy def Trent Beretta

Chris Jericho def Hook and Katsuyori Shibata to retain the FTW Championship

Jon Moxley def Konosuke Takeshita

[Webster]

Will Ospreay def Roderick Strong to win the AEW International Championship

As much as I don't like Will Ospreay, this wasn't a surprising win and it opens up the International Championship for more angles down the road.

"Timeless" Toni Storm def Serena Deeb to retain the AEW Women's Championship

The Timeless gimmick is getting stale; this would've been a helluva time to put the women's title on Deeb's shoulders and see what happens.

Adam Copeland def Malakai Black in a Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match to retain the AEW TNT Championship

Seeing Gangrel return to help his old friend/nemesis Edge was cathartically sweet. That said, I still want to see the House of Black become a legit heel faction across AEW's titles.

Mercedes Mone def Willow Nightingale to win the AEW TBS Championship

Mercedes Mone winning didn't surprise me.
Kris Statlander and Stokely Hathaway turning on Willow? That surprised me and only confirms the likely heel turn Statlander is making with the dissolution of Best Friends. If AEW's smart, they could build a female heel faction/stable around Statlander (there's several women who could easily join her - Britt Baker, Taya Valkyrie, Kamille, etc.)

Swerve Strickland def Christian Cage to retain the AEW World Championship

Given Swerve is AEW's first black World Champion (on the men's side of the roster; Jade Cargill was the first on the women's) there was no fucking way he was losing tonight.

The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada & Jack Perry def Bryan Danielson, Darby Allin & FTR in an Anarchy in the Arena Match

With the Chucklefucks as EVP's, did anyone expect them to lose?

*humorously deadpans* Glad to see Jelly Nutella's still out there...

1 Called Manders

If he were in the NWA I could see Billy Corgan dropping the Worlds' title belt on him for a spell, he has that "big guy" quality that you want to see in a champion.
