AEW Catch Up

[wrighty]

Hey guys, long time reader but first post on the site so hope this is all OK.

I've been watching AEW sporadically for the past few years but haven't seen anything since the whole Punk issue last year. Anyway with the All In show announced for London it's got me hyped to get back into AEW as I'll be attending the Wembley show (Price dependant) and after 25 years WWE seems to have killed off almost all of my remaining interest over the last 7 days.

Is there anyway someone could just give me a quick rundown over the main storylines in AEW over the past few months, just to give me some idea of what's been happening as I try to jump back on board. I'm pretty up to date with NJPW so looking forward to Forbbiden door 2!

Thanks in advance.

Quick rundown

MJF is world champ and they're building a four way feud with the Four Pillars for the title with Jungle Boy, Sammy Guevara, and Darby Allin all stating they want a title shot.

FTR just won the tag titles by putting their careers on the line so we'll see where that's going.

The Blackpool Combat Club just turned heel with signs pointing towards this being what reunites Hangman with the Elite.

Ruby Soho, Toni Storm, and Saraya formed a stable called the Outcasts which is essentially former WWE stars that feel they aren't getting the respect they deserve against the AEW homegrown women. The homegrown women getting featured so far in the feud are Women's champ Jayme Hayter, Britt Baker (whose nursing a back injury), Riho, Sky Blue, and Willow Nightengale.

Orange Cassidy is the International Champ (former All Atlantic title) and has taken the reigns as a fighting champ. He's pretty much defended the title every week against a variety of opponents.

The House of Black have won the Trios title and they're also going after OC right now. They beat the Best Friends defending the titles and Buddy Matthews is challenging for the International Title.

Powerhouse Hobbs won the TNT title and has been doing the open challenge on Rampage so far. He's also managed by QT Marshall who is doing a TMZ gimmick called QTV.

Adam Cole returned from injury and looks like they're starting a Jericho vs Cole feud.

Ricky Starks is feuding with the self proclaimed Black and Gold Bullet Club of Juice Robinson and Jay White. This is after beating Jericho clean at Revolution.

They're actually giving Jade an angle building up to a fight with Taya Valkarie.

The Acclaimed refused 2.0's offer to join JAS and are feuding with them.

I think that covers almost everything?

Riho also has a pipe.

Awesome, thanks for that. Are there any matches over the last few months that would be recommended to watch. Either to explain some of the current storylines or just as stand alone Matches?

Standlone matches to definitely watch would be Kenny Omega vs Vikingo, you don't need any storyline for that one it's just a dream match

And Orange Cassidy's International Title defenses, he's at 18 defenses now and has been a genuine workhorse for the company, matches include against guys like PAC, Kip Sabian, Big Bill (Big Cass), Dralistico, and more

Jamie Hayter vs Emi Sakura or Riho will be very worth your time

Anything Konosuke Takeshita has been in will be a treat for you. I recommend his match vs Danielson a ton

The Ironman Match between MJF vs Danielson at Revolution is really great

The Elite vs The Lucha Brothers Best of Seven for the Trios Titles and The Elite vs House of Black for the Trios titles are very good\

Samoa Joe vs Darby Allin's TNT Title matches also rule

Great stuff, thanks. Looking forward to getting stuck in to all of this over the next few weeks!
