AEW’s latest event delivered blockbuster action, dramatic title defenses, and major challenges set for Revolution. From Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay picking up a huge tag win to Toni Storm reclaiming her spot atop the AEW women’s division, here’s a full breakdown of all the chaos from the night.


Kenny Omega & Will Ospreay Take Down The Callis Family

Kenny Omega is still recovering from his diverticulitis battle, and The Callis Family knew exactly how to exploit it. Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher targeted Omega’s midsection throughout the match, forcing Will Ospreay to step in as the protector. But even with the odds against him, The Best Bout Machine still had plenty of fight left.

The final moments saw Omega turn the tide, dropping low to drive Takeshita’s face into the turnbuckle. With Fletcher neutralized outside—thanks to a stunning Ospreay springboard dive—the path was clear for a spectacular finish. Omega lifted Takeshita for the One-Winged Angel, and Ospreay flew in from the top rope for a devastating Hidden Blade-assisted One-Winged Angel combo. Omega pinned Takeshita for the win.

After the match, Omega officially challenged Takeshita for the AEW International Championship at Revolution, while Ospreay set his sights on revenge, demanding a steel cage match against Fletcher.


Mercedes Moné Retains, But Momo Watanabe Lurks

TBS Champion Mercedes Moné defended her title against Harley Cameron, but the match had an unexpected guest: Momo Watanabe, who sat front row with a championship shot of her choosing after winning the International Women’s Cup at Wrestle Dynasty.

The mind games started early, with Harley using her infamous Mercedes puppet as a distraction. That only angered Moné, who stomped it out of existence. The match turned into a back-and-forth battle, with Harley nearly scoring an upset after a crossbody and an Australian Destroyer. But Moné regained control with a powerbomb and meteora, only for Cameron to keep fighting, nearly stealing the win with a crucifix pin and sunset flip bomb.

Ultimately, Moné capitalized on a missed flipping senton, hitting the Moné Maker to retain her title. On her way out, she made a bold statement—pie-facing Watanabe with the championship belt—hinting at a future showdown.


Moxley & Claudio Survive Brisbane Brawl Thanks to Yuta’s Interference

The Brisbane Brawl was an all-out war between Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli and the team of Adam Copeland & Jay White. White nearly secured victory after hitting a Blade Runner on Claudio, but Wheeler Yuta stormed in, whipping White with a belt to break the pin.

The chaos only escalated from there—Copeland speared Claudio through a table, followed by a spear to Moxley. He even went for a barbed wire chair conchairto, but Yuta snatched the weapon away just in time. That distraction allowed Marina Shafir to smash Copeland with a title briefcase, setting up Claudio’s Neutralizer. Copeland still kicked out.

Moxley locked in a bulldog choke, and with Yuta choking out White on the outside, Copeland passed out, giving The Death Riders the win. But Mox wasn’t done—he reapplied the choke post-match, further damaging Copeland’s neck.


Okada Retains After Controversial Tactics Against Buddy Matthews

AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada defended against Buddy Matthews in a match that nearly rewrote history. Midway through, Matthews became the first man in AEW to ever kick out of Okada’s Rainmaker. That set the stage for an intense closing stretch.

With the champion rattled, Okada attempted to use the title belt as a weapon, but the referee intervened. That opened the door for Matthews, who nearly stole the win with a roll-up, a curb stomp, and a pumphandle Death Valley Driver.

In the final moments, Matthews hit a superplex and a jackhammer suplex, but Okada refused to stay down. Sensing danger, Okada shoved the referee aside and hit a sneaky mule kick to Matthews, followed by a Rainmaker to retain his title. A controversial ending to an otherwise incredible match.


AEW Announces the International Championship Series

AEW revealed an International Championship Series to determine the next challenger for Konosuke Takeshita’s AEW International Championship:

  • Orange Cassidy vs. Roderick Strong will take place on Dynamite.
  • The winner faces Takeshita the following week for the title.
  • Whoever wins that match advances to face Kenny Omega at Revolution for the championship.

The stakes couldn’t be higher, and with Omega, Takeshita, Cassidy, and Strong in the mix, fans are in for an exciting road to Revolution.


Toni Storm Dethrones Mariah May in Emotional Title Fight

In an emotional and hard-fought battle, “Timeless” Toni Storm reclaimed the AEW Women’s World Championship from Mariah May in a match filled with high-risk moments and near-falls.

Mariah unleashed everything, hitting a Mayday Driver on the floor, followed by a shotgun dropkick and running hip attack. But Storm turned the tables, countering with a Mayday Driver of her own before delivering multiple hip attacks and a Storm Zero piledriver—only for Mariah to miraculously kick out.

Desperate to put Storm away, May hit two consecutive Mayday Drivers, but Storm refused to stay down. The champion nearly secured the win again after a headbutt and another piledriver, but as she went for one final Mayday, Storm reversed into a shocking roll-up to snatch the victory.

After months of tension and admiration, Storm proved she was still the true leading lady of AEW.


Final Thoughts

With Kenny Omega vs. Takeshita, Ospreay vs. Fletcher in a cage, and AEW’s International Championship Series unfolding, AEW is setting up a must-see road to Revolution.

Meanwhile, Toni Storm’s return to the top, Mercedes Moné’s next challenger looming, and Moxley’s ruthless assault on Copeland leave plenty of unanswered questions heading into Dynamite.

AEW Grand Slam Australia Set for Unique Broadcast Slot Amid NBA All-Star Weekend

AEW’s highly anticipated Grand Slam Australia is just around the corner, bringing a stacked card to fans Down Under on February 15. With Toni Storm defending the AEW Women’s World Championship against Mariah May and the dream team of Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay facing Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita, the event promises to be a major milestone for the promotion. However, there has been some confusion regarding when the show will actually air in the United States.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Grand Slam Australia will air on a 20-hour tape delay in the U.S., a decision made by TNT to maximize viewership. Instead of airing live in the early morning hours, the event will be slotted immediately after the NBA All-Star Saturday Night festivities, which typically draw massive ratings. While the AEW broadcast is scheduled for 10:30 PM ET, Meltzer noted that the unpredictable nature of NBA events means the show could start closer to 11:05 PM ET if the All-Star coverage runs long.

This strategic scheduling could be a huge win for AEW, as it ensures a strong lead-in audience from NBA All-Star Weekend, which consistently ranks among the most-watched sports broadcasts of the year. Additionally, since the event will air live on the West Coast, Grand Slam Australia will be in primetime for viewers in California and surrounding regions—potentially giving AEW its biggest Saturday night audience in months.

Meltzer also suggested that AEW should capitalize on the moment by kicking off with a major match or angle to hook the new audience. With Revolution set for March 9 in Los Angeles, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a major storyline development in Australia that sets the stage for the pay-per-view.

AEW’s international expansion has been a major talking point in recent months, and if this event pulls in strong ratings, it could open the door for more global shows in the future. Will the decision to delay the broadcast pay off? Fans won’t have to wait much longer to find out.

AEW Grand Slam: Australia Faces Scheduling Shake-Up Due to NBA All-Star Weekend

AEW’s highly anticipated Grand Slam: Australia 2025 event is set to make history as the promotion’s first major show in Australia, but its U.S. broadcast plans have hit a scheduling snag. During this week’s Dynamite, AEW announced that Grand Slam: Australia would air on Saturday, February 15, at 8 PM ET on TNT and Max. However, that time slot directly conflicts with TNT’s coverage of the NBA All-Star Saturday Night, one of the league’s biggest annual events and a cornerstone of the network’s sports programming.

This overlap left fans scratching their heads about how AEW’s international showcase would fit into such a packed night of sports entertainment.

AEW’s Solution: A Post-NBA Airing

According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW has adjusted its broadcast strategy. Instead of competing directly with the NBA, Grand Slam: Australia will now air on TNT after the NBA coverage wraps up, giving the show a coveted lead-in from the massive All-Star audience.

While this plan offers significant exposure, it also means that Grand Slam: Australia will air at a very late time slot for U.S. viewers. The current plan would see the event begin at 2:30 AM Eastern time (technically early Sunday morning) and air on a tape delay, approximately 21 hours after it takes place in Melbourne. This unusual timing raises questions about how the show will perform in such a late-night spot.

Will Max Stream the Event Live?

One major question still unanswered is whether Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming platform, Max, will air Grand Slam: Australia live. The report doesn’t confirm whether Max will simulcast the event as it happens or follow TNT’s delayed broadcast schedule. If Max offers a live streaming option, it could provide a much-needed alternative for fans who want to watch the event in real time without staying up into the early morning hours.

The Challenge of NBA All-Star Weekend

AEW’s decision to shift the broadcast comes as no surprise, given the massive viewership and importance of NBA All-Star Saturday Night. The event, which features fan-favorite competitions like the Slam Dunk Contest and Three-Point Contest, is a marquee attraction for TNT. Competing head-to-head with such a high-profile broadcast would have been a risky move for AEW.

By airing after the NBA coverage, Grand Slam: Australia will benefit from a built-in audience that may stick around for the wrestling action. However, the late airtime presents its own challenges, especially for East Coast viewers who may not stay up to watch.

A Big Night for Wrestling

February 15 is shaping up to be a busy night not only for sports but for professional wrestling as well. WWE’s NXT Vengeance Day 2025 is also scheduled to air that evening, adding even more competition to the mix. Wrestling fans will have to choose between WWE’s event, the live NBA festivities, and AEW’s delayed broadcast—or simply try to catch them all.

AEW’s Growing Global Presence

Despite the scheduling hurdles, Grand Slam: Australia is a significant milestone for AEW. The event reflects the company’s continued push to expand its global reach and bring AEW to fans around the world. With a unique setting and a roster full of stars, the event promises to deliver memorable moments, even if the broadcast logistics are less than ideal for U.S. audiences.

What’s Next?

As the broadcast date approaches, fans will be keeping a close eye on how AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery handle the logistics. Whether Max offers a live stream or TNT’s late-night airing becomes the primary option, the event will be a key test of AEW’s ability to adapt and deliver on the global stage.

AEW Grand Slam: Australia Moved To Smaller Venue

AEW Grand Slam: Australia May Relocate Due to Low Ticket Sales

AEW’s ambitious plan to make a splash in Australia with Grand Slam: Australia is reportedly under review, with the event potentially moving to a smaller venue due to underwhelming ticket sales.

The event, initially scheduled for February 15, 2025, at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium, was set to be a landmark moment for AEW, marking the promotion’s debut in the Southern Hemisphere. Suncorp Stadium, a massive venue with a capacity exceeding 50,000, would have hosted its first-ever wrestling event with the show. However, according to a report from Fightful Select, AEW is exploring alternative, smaller venues to better accommodate the event’s current demand.

Ticket Sales Struggle to Meet Expectations

While AEW has seen record-breaking success with its All In events at Wembley Stadium, drawing crowds of over 60,000, Grand Slam: Australia has not experienced similar enthusiasm. Reports in September suggested that ticket sales were falling far below expectations, with the event being described as performing “not good.” The lackluster sales prompted discussions of a venue change, and an official announcement regarding the potential move is expected soon.

What’s Next for AEW in Australia?

Despite the challenges, AEW’s foray into the Australian market remains significant. Moving to a smaller venue could create a more intimate and energized atmosphere while allowing the company to avoid the optics of empty seats in a massive stadium.

AEW’s decision to push into international markets has been a cornerstone of its growth strategy, as evidenced by the success of its UK shows. The company will likely look to adapt its approach in Australia to ensure the debut leaves a lasting impression, even if it means scaling down expectations for the first attempt.

The Bigger Picture

While the ticket sales may not be what AEW hoped for, this situation highlights the challenges of entering new markets. Australia has a passionate wrestling fanbase, but building momentum in a new region often requires more than just one big event. Whether AEW can regroup and capitalize on the Australian wrestling community remains to be seen.
