On this week's episode Rai & Mike discuss the escalation of the feud between Swerve/New Level & Hangman/Brodido. Swerve has gone fully heel once again by kidnapping Bandido and dragging the New Level into a Texas Death Match they don't really want. What is Swerve's true motivations? Will Swerve eventually be the person to make Hangman go back on his vow to never challenge for the AEW World Championship again?The Bang Bang Gang became The Last Outfit and then mere hours later The Cut. Despite the revolving door of names the faction looks serious and is positioning Jay White as a formidable challenger to Mox's Contintental Championship. Will Jay White win the Contintental Classic? Kyle Fletcher is once again challenging for the AEW World Championsip, shoud he win? Ospreay's title run has been lackluster to say the least so is it already time to shake up the world title scene?

The trios titles have changed hands 9 times this year. The TBS Championship newly won by Queen Aminata has seen several short reigns that did nothing for the champions. The National Championship has also had a few short reigns that didn't elevate the champion. We discuss how to correct this and should we get rid of short reigns?Complaints & Hot Takes, Samoa Joe seemed primed for a world title shot, what happened? Too much hardcore in the next few weeks?

Trios Titles change hands for a 9th time this year, was it the right call take the titles off New Level and Swerve?

We reflect on his career going back to his days in NXT, some of our favorite moments from his career, and the beautiful tribute paid to him by AEW.

On this week's episode, Rai & Mike discuss the build to next week's All Out. Interesting developments regarding Mox and Death Riders as we learn Ospreay is the one who requested the match with Mox at All Out, Mox claims he's hard on everyone around him but is he? He seems to not care that the Death Riders constantly lose, he says he wanted Ospreay to lead so does he not believe in the Death Riders? Has he just been insulating himself this whole time? Will we finally see the Death Riders turn?The pairing of Darby Allin and Steven Borden continues to impress, Steven Borden in his limited experience has shown a lot of promise. The dynamic between Darby and Steven Borden is interesting, Darby now becomes the mentor, how will he mentor Steven Borden?

On this week's episode Rai & Mike discuss the Rebel Heart edition of Dynamite which honored Rebel and her brace battle with ALS. AEW continues to handle tributes with dignity and respect as we saw the return of the Waiting Room with Rebel (Not Reba) and Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. The in ring return of Dr. Britt Baker, DMD in trios action which saw in the involvement of Rebel bringing down the glove for the lockjaw. AEW aired a very moving tribute in honor of Rebel's time in AEW and to raise awareness for ALS. Overall a very special night of Dynamite. We also lost former AEW wrestler, Andy "The Butcher" Williams of the The Butcher & The Blade tag team at the young age of just 48. The guy's reminisce on the team, their origins in AEW, and the overall positive discussion surrounding Andy Williams from seemingly everyone he encountered. We look forward to this week's Collision which will honor and celebrate the life of Andy Williams. Rest In Peace to The Butcher. We saw the continuing development of the story of Will Ospreay and the Death Riders following Opsreay's eliminator match with David Finlay. Mox stepped in to prevent another beat down on Ospreay. The Death Riders seemingly have reached a breaking point in the odd treatment Ospreay has received from Mox. How will this factor into their All Out match? Will we finally see the Death Riders turn their backs on Mox? AEW continues to be on a New Level following the debuts of Awesome Austin Creed and Kofi. We've now see two successful trios title defenses against the Rascalz and Conglomeration. What have we noticed about the New Level that has separated them from the New Day? What's next for this team, will they continue to feud with The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly or is a showdown with The Elite sooner than we think? Swerve has fit in with this group very well but should he be doing more?The debut of a new segment "Can We Fix It?". The guy take a look at the Don Callis Family and all it's members. What changes can we make to improve the stock of each member and the faction as a whole? Okada as the centerpiece? Fletcher and Davis on their own? Adding female talent? El Clon copy and pasting his opponents? Where is Wardlow? All of this and more in attempt to fix it. Cheers & Jeers returns with Rebel & Britt Baker, the Styles Clash, Steven Borden, where is Athena? Jack Perry's quest for the AEW World Title & more.We are on YouTube now! Subscribe!Youtube.com/@heelswithgoodpointsFollow us on Twitter: @heelwithgoodpoints email:[email protected]

However, could we not have gotten this on the main card? The guy bring back Working/Not Working to discuss is the Casino Gauntlet as well as battle royals in general in need of a revamp in AEW.
