Current AEW Women’s World Champion Saraya was once fined by All Elite Wrestling for calling fans “neckbeard stinky tw*ts”.
• After his loss at AEW WrestleDream, Kenny Omega’s back-to-back PPV losing streak is now at 6. He teamed up with Chris Jericho and Kota Ibushi to lose to The Don Callis Family (Will Ospreay, Sammy Guevara & Konosuke Takeshita). Callis attacked Jericho with the baseball bat when the referee wasn’t looking, which led to Guevara pinning Jericho to pick up the win for his team.
Omega & Jericho will now face Guevara & Takeshita in a tag team match on this Wednesday’s 4-year anniversary episode of Dynamite.
