Danielson with some evergreen advice.

Claudio Castagnoli after signing with CMLL: “I’m very proud and happy to represent Lucha Libre and CMLL as World Heavyweight Champion. But should the day come and I lose this title... I will still wear this mask for the rest of my career.” 🔥

Base 10, a company backed by Tony Khan, placed a $6.9 Billion bid on WWE when it was up for sale in 2023. The court filing states: “Base 10 is the owner of AEW, a professional wrestling promotion that plainly would enjoy significant synergies with WWE.” (via @POSTwrestling)

BREAKING: Toni Storm will be out of action for “a long time” due to an undisclosed injury or injuries. (via Bryan Alvarez)

Samantha on her IG revealed the death threats she and Ricochet have been receiving for the past few days.

Tommaso Ciampa on IG shared that her daughter Willow performed his entrance and how AEW’s crew went above and beyond to make her wish come true. Ciampa on AEW: “When I say, I found my wrestling home, I'm 100% sincere. I love this family.” ❤️

AEW provided an HD shot of Toni Storm attacked backstage with some details and clues: • a flower bouquet by her side • likely a Champagne bottle smashed on her head (?)

Josh Alexander appears to have suffered an injury during last night's Collision tapings in Fresno, CA. Josh was helped to the back during the match after an apparent knee injury. (via F4WOnline)

WOR: One of Ricochet’s friends apparently advised him to take his tweet down, before Ricochet did so and issued an apology. “One of his friends called him and said, ‘You know, you really should take the tweet down.’ So he took the tweet down. And upon thinking about it, he then apologized. Nobody forced his apology or anything like that. He decided to apologize and he did.” (via Dave Meltzer)

WOR: Revolution PPV buys did pretty good. It's certainly the best since All In: Texas, and probably by a decent margin. All In 2025 did 180,000 to 185,000 buys. AEW's highest buyrate since then is 140,000, which suggests that Revolution 2026 drew between 140,000 to 180,000 buys.

WOR: Mina Shirakawa was a legitimate replacement for Toni Storm on Dynamite, something happened with Toni. “All I know is this was a legitimate replacement, meaning something actually happened to Toni. She clearly seems to have got hurt because she wasn't cleared for the show. But it wasn't until the last minute. They advertised this all the way until today. It wasn't until 10 minutes before the show that I guess they were waiting and waiting and hoping and then at the last second they were like, ‘Not going to happen.’” (via Bryan Alvarez)

• Adam Copeland’s personal mission: to avenge his wife • Young Bucks’ personal mission: to avenge their brother, mom & dad • Christian Cage’s personal mission: to win belts & make ton of extra money He may be a babyface... But he's still an ASSHOLE. 😭

What if Swerve Strickland really gains EVP power, starts misusing it and favors Hangman Page by granting him an AEW World Championship match in future? THE MOST DANGEROUS MEN IN AEW. 🤔

Watching this live was surreal.

1 year ago today, Jon Moxley was impaled by Adam Copeland’s SPIKE. One of the most insane things that ever happened on AEW Dynamite.

The Big Hebrew, MJF returns from his Disney World trip next Wednesday in St. Paul, Minnesota. 😭

Marina Shafir says while she wouldn't pass up the opportunity to punch Toni Storm... she did NOT attack her backstage tonight. Hmm, it's somebody else.
