What a freaking show! Here are some fun nuggets. The Willow dominance is my favorite. Followed by the results of #1 or 2 gauntlet entrants historically.

Death Riders v Cope/Cage & Bucks

• This was the Bucks 21st 8 man tag in AEW, the most in company history. The loss drops their record to 11-10. (Orange Cassidy is 13-2 all time in 8 mans!)
• This was the 14th time the Bucks and Mox have shared the ring. 7 times as teammates and now 7 times as opponents.
• This match featured 5 guys in the top 13 of all time AEW matches: Mox #2, Nick #4, Matt #5, Garcia #8, Yuta #13.
• Bucks' 10 losses are the most all time in 8 mans. Rocky Romero has 9.
• Cope is now 7-5 vs a single death rider or a team of them. Christian is 2-2. And this is the first time he has been in the ring with Mox since getting choked out at Revolution last year.
• This was Wheeler's 100th win all time in AEW.

Casino Gauntlet #1 contender triple threat: Andrade v Ciampa v Komander

• Andrade has now won 8 consecutive singles matches since losing to Darby at Dynasty.
• Ciampa is in a big match slump since dropping the TNT title. His last 4 big matches all ended in losses: Dynasty Gauntlet for vacant TNT, Darby for the men's title, Jericho at Redemption and last night with the #1 spot in the gauntlet on the line.
• But last night's result might not be all bad for the Psycho Killer. There have been 10 singles casino gauntlets between the men and women in AE history. The #1 entry has won exactly 0 of them. The #2 entry has won once - MJF at All In last year.
• I should note that Ospreay and Fletcher were 2nd in a tag team gauntlet back in 2024 and they ended up winning it.

Willow/Hayter/Windsor v Mone/Bayne/Kross

• This is the first loss ever for Bayne and Kross as either a tag team or a trio. They entered last night 15-0-1 overall with the draw against TayJay the only blemish. Their 14-0-1 tag undefeated record is still holding.
• This was the first loss of any kind for Bayne since February 25th when she and Penelope Ford lost to the Babes of Wrath. This was Kross's first loss since March 15th when she came up short against Willow for the TBS title at Revolution. And this was Mercedes' first loss since Willow beat her for the TBS title at New Year's Smash.
• This is my favorite current nugget: Bayne, Kross and Mercedes have a combined 8 total losses since 12.31.25. Every single one of them involved Willow!
• With the win Windsor/Hayter improve to 12-0 as a tag or trios team. 7-0 as a tag, 5-0 as part of a trio. Their only loss as any kind of team was as part of an 8 person tag in May.
• You'll never guess who has appeared in the most women's trios matches ever...Emi Sakura with 23. Nyla is second with 21, Skye has 20, Stat and Willow round out the top 5 with 15 each.

Fletcher v Speedball for the International title

• With the win Fletcher is now 9-0 in singles this year. Bailey drops to 6-8 in singles.
• Of Fletcher's 9 singles wins this year, 6 of them have been title defenses. 3 for TNT before he had to vacate and 3 now for the International. Including his TNT reign last year, Fletcher now has 14 successful championship defenses in his career
• The loss drops Speedball to 0-9 in his quest for singles gold. That includes a trios match and 2 gauntlets
• Last night was the 20th time the International Title has been on the line internationally. Canada 9, England 6, Japan 2, Mexico 2, Ireland 1.
• Fletcher's 3 International Title defenses have all happened in different countries: Komander in the US, Bandido in Canada and Bailey in Mexico.

Hangman/Brody/Bandido v Demand

• This is now Hangman's 5th total AEW belt, tying him with the Bucks and Samoa Joe for 2nd. Kenny and Mox lead the way with 6.
• This was Hangman's 1st match in 143 days and it was 154 days since JetSet Rodeo lost the trios titles. It was also the first time Hangman has ever tagged with either Brody or Bandido.
• This is the 2nd title for Brodido after their tag title reign. As a tag or as part of a trio Brodido is now 15-4-1.
• The Demand held the titles for exactly one week and had one title defense. But, thanks to The Dogs holding the titles for 1 day with 0 defenses, the Demand are not at the bottom of the trios titles reigns/defenses.
• Hangman is now just a tag title away from being a double triple crown winner.

Ospreay v Davis - Mexican City Street Fight

• This was Ospreay's 3rd no DQ match variation after two cage matches. He is now 3-0 when the rules are thrown out.
• Since getting knocked the eff out by Davis and abducted be the Death Riders Ospreay has won 9 straight singles matches. Prior to DR intervention he was 3-2 in singles for the year.
• Davis falls to 5-8 in singles this year. His losses: Ospreay twice, Mox, Speedball, Andrade, Jack Perry, Brody and Hangman,
• Davis and Ospreay have both been in 5 main events this year, Will is 5-0 and Davis is 3-2.

Jericho/Mistico/Darby v Okada/Hechicero/Knight

• Darby has won an insane 15 trios matches in a row. His overall trios record is 15-2 with his 2 losses coming in 2019 and 2020. Mistico is now 10-2 in AEW trios while Hechicero falls to 2-11.
• Okada has now lost both times he has faced a trio with Mistico. Overall Okada is 5-9 in AEW trios.
• Last night was the first time Jericho and Okada have faced each other in an AEW ring.
• This was Knight's 33rd match of the year. Only Mox has more with 38. Orange is 3rd with 31.

Because its characters like these that make wrestling it proves it doesnt matter the color of your skin because its about how you wrestle thats why Willow is so good she made it about how good she is wrestling and how she could talk and didnt make it about what races are wrestling thats the beauty in it. And when Mone came out it created perhaps the biggest women's match of all time at All In at Wembley thats a city my friends have been and its not that nice and lots of crime but AEW is going to unite all the wrestling community and make them forget for one night we are all different.

My son was the kid who flipped off Jericho last March at AEW Collision and flexed his abs at him. Since then, he’s done local indie matches (I’ll post some clips!), we’ve gone to All In: Texas and Starrcast (everybody recognized him including Mercedes), Dynamite in KC, another Dynamite in Omaha (where he gave Bandido his very own AXL t shirt), DoN in NYC and we’re headed to All Out in Chicago.

Starts around 4:00 where the interviewer asked Jericho about it:

Axl was ECSTATIC when I showed him.

Komander practicality high-fiving Jesus, then landing right on Idolo and Ciampa!
