Episode 198 - Light Matches, Light Lighters

Diana, Johnny, and Fantastico are here to bring you their takes for the go-home episode of AEW Dynamite as we inch closer to this Sunday's Forbidden Door. The crowd in Glasgow was peak for a very light-matched event. Edge names his posterior, when a returning favorite gets the Herbert West treatment to make a choke slamming impact. The tag team championship match is finally announced with a somewhat controversial ending to the number one contender's match. MJF recruits unlikely allies to commit personal arson to rattle Hangman Adam Page, while the feuds for the Women's World Title and TBS title respectively continue to escalate. Meanwhile, Will Ospreay literally puts his body and career on the line to finally get his revenge on Jon Moxley and the Deathriders. With only hours left until Forbidden Door, things are really attempting to "heat" up!

Johnny, Diana, and Gringo ingested this week's AEW Collision and are here to break it down for you, piece by piece. With Forbidden Door on the near horizon, Collision opened more doors to get you ready for the London action. Toni Storm and Athena are nearly ready to decapitate one another for your amusement. FTR uses salty tactics to pepper Brodido ahead of their number one contender’s match for the tag titles. Ace Austin makes his “inevitable” debut against Ricochet. Another member of the women’s roster becomes $100,000 richer. Brian Keith gets no respect, while Nigel McGuiness reluctantly tastes the sweet tears of Daniel Garcia after a hard-hitting “technical spectacle.” Also, what’s a Collision without an obligatory Hologram appearance.

Additionally, the trio talks headlines from the entire world of professional wrestling, from Drew McIntyre being the best heel he can be, to Matt Riddle rants, and more Karrion Kross speculation. We have all the takes you can handle!

Diana, Johnny, and Gringo break down a Dynamite where Hangman roasts MJF into a title match, Darby gets zipped up and spun until Ospreay flips the script with a cage challenge, and Christian’s “hug” with Copeland has us all side-eyeing. Plus: Hiromu steals an 8-man, Swerve and Okada talk trash, Samoa Joe chokes one out, and MJF still finds time for a sneaky parking-lot beatdown.
