Check out the newest issue of E&E #AEW #DynamiteDozen!

Great wrestling from Bandido & Dorada. Good crowd work from Willow, Harley, & Mina. Good heat mongering from FTR + GREAT ANGLE with them & Brodido.

Hell yeah, Hanger. #AEWDynamite

This would have been a tremendous angle for #AEWFrightNight, but it was still great on a regular #AEWDynamite

"Excalibur, how about this? Why don't you do commentary on one of my orgies sometime?"

Toni Storm is 1 of 1

New issue of #ESCAPEandENGAGE #AEW #DynamiteDozen just dropped. Great week for Tag Teams & AEW Originals coming off one of the most fun #AEWDynamite episodes ever. #AEWFrightNight

I was trying to think of the last #AEWDynamite episode that was this fun. This felt like the energy and attitude of 2019-2021 #AEW with the 2025 in-ring quality. A pretty perfect combination for me.

This match was incredible to get on a TV episode. The heels (Bucks & FTR) did a great job of making space for the babyfaces (Jurassic & JetSpeed) to shine and show off what they can do. It made for a very fun & fast-paced viewing experience. WHAT A TAG DIVISION! #AEWDynamite #AEWFrightNight

Another match with great pacing featuring 4 AEW Originals (Bucks & Jurassic Express) + 4 signings that fit the AEW Feeling (FTR & JetSpeed). This has been a good showcase for @aewontv.bsky.social’s vibe so far. This tag division is as healthy as it has ever been. #AEWDynamite #AEWFrightNight

Really enjoyed the pacing and length of the opener. Good stuff highlighting the ability and attitudes of 2 of AEW Original babyface pillars. #AEWDynamite #AEWFrightNight

This #AEWDynamite #AEWFrightNight set kicks butt. I miss events feeling special like this.

In Bandido vs Okada, you have a match of 2 wrestlers who are excellent at Engaging the audience in between the moves to make people care more about the moves. Looking forward to seeing that play out here. #AEWDynamite

The Conglomeration’s new entrance video is maybe the best wrestling tron video of all time. @aewontv.bsky.social

This is some grim freakin’ clickbait

This was fun to watch. Powerhouse Hobbs treating Jon Moxley to a taste of his own medicine #AEWDynamite

At last check, #AEWxNJPWForbiddenDoor was the #21 best #AEW show of 2025 on CageMatch, and I think that seems about right. Great athletic action from characters fans are invested in w/ weird suspension of disbelief breaking mistakes in booking or execution throughout the card.
