AEW Rewind: Max Caster hits the mainstream, Spears chair obsession, more!

Don’t have time to follow all of AEW’s online content? Do not worry. We’ve got you covered with the AEW Rewind, which will rewind last week’s social media tracks and YouTube videos to get you ready for Wednesday night. Dynamite.

AEW Road to Fyter Fest Night 2 promoted Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Spears, Dr. Britt Baker DMD vs. Nyla Rose, and Lance Archer vs. Jon Moxley.

Spears behaved strangely by treating the inanimate object in his chair like a living being. They have an agreement with each other. No arguing, guessing or conflict. They always act okay. Spears asked to go to MJF’s Jericho works first. If he beats The Champion, it takes Jericho away from MJF and also cuts his legs under the Inner Circle. It would be much easier to conquer them.

It was an odd promotion from Spears regarding the relationship with his chair. When he dumped the black glove gadget, it was because he didn’t need the crutch of confidence. Now he’s back with his beloved chair. I’m curious to see Spears’ reaction if the Inner Circle threw his chair in an incinerator. It wouldn’t surprise me if Spears jumped into the fire to save her precious. At least everything going on in Spears’ twisted mind made it more interesting.

The package for Baker and Rose was mostly made up of highlights. Interestingly, Baker has never beaten Rose, and now she will have to do so with the AEW Women’s Championship on the line.

Archer will have the chance to regain the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship title in a Texas Deathmatch against Moxley. Archer considers this title to be one of the most important of his career, as it is his first major belt in singles. Archer aims to prove he’s one of the best great men to ever step into the ring.

Max Caster embarks on diss raps on TMZ. Caster shot LeBron James, Stephen A. Smith, Bill Cosby and others.

Brian Cage has practically been kicked out of the Taz team. After Will Hobbs crushed the Machine with the FTW title belt to help Ricky Starks win, Powerhouse also threatened to suffer more if Cage returned to AEW. For Cage’s part, he doesn’t seem too broken by the loss of FTW gold.

Good news for Trent’s health. His neck fusion surgery was considered a success.

Paul Wight could return to the ring sooner rather than later. Mark Henry too. Wight said he should dust off his boots for the AEW show in New York City. Henry considered the same, but Wight didn’t want Henry to steal his thunder. The tone seemed more joking to promote ticket sales, but you never know. It will be a great show after all.

Be the elite

“Good Old Fashioned Extorsion” – Being The Elite, Ep. 265 (here) featured:

• The Young Bucks enjoyed the massage chairs at the airport. Cue a montage of travel and shopping.
• The Bucks and Kenny Omega went in slow motion for a photoshoot.
• Omega tried to shave with a knife and fork. He was informed that Hangman Page was in the ring calling him. The elite gathered to take the stage for the segment aired on Dynamite.
• Ryan Nemeth sat in a room like a serial killer. He poured the creamy white drink into a very long beer bong, which led into the mouth of a passed out man who looked like Aron Stevens.
• Trevor and Arthur criticized the dress choices and questionable attitudes of the Bucks.
• The AMEN team of Vickie Guerrero, Nyla Rose and Ryzin had their own cheesy sitcom intro. Their show was canceled for lack of funding.
• Matt Hardy spoke with Omega and the Bucks. Hardy’s loss to Christian Cage didn’t count. He has not slept for 72 hours after the birth of his daughter. This is the only reason Christian won. The Elite are Hardy’s favorite EVP. He went on to butter them up, saying the Bucks have officially passed the Hardys as the best tag team. Hardy placed Omega in first row ahead of Roman Reigns, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton and Seth Rollins. Hardy was actually reading a memo that Omega had written himself. Hardy looked into the camera to say he was hanging out with Omega.
• Peter Avalon and Leva Bates shared a scene like in a French movie. Avalon drank his sorrows and imagined Bates by his side. They will still have the library.
• Brandon Cutler finished editing BTE when he found an extortion note. “Brandon, if you don’t put us back on BTE, we’ll show the video to Matt and Nick. The blood is still on your hands. Love, Order of Darkness. Cutler’s response was “Oh, shit”.

Not much to analyze in terms of Dynamite content, so let’s check with the Dark Order on Sammy Guevara’s vlog (here). Sammy, 5, and Griff Garrison took off their pants to recruit the Dark Order to appear on the vlog. The Dark Order was still mad at 5’s insults last week. Sammy tried to work things out to create a dream team vlog. The Dark Order said they’d rather shave their dogs’ balls than be on Sammy’s vlog. They chased the vlogging team out of their lair.

We will end with the new range of AEW figures. It was Miro who summed it up best.

There are also toys for LJN style Cody Rhodes, Rhodes chick, Kenny Omega, two for Dr Britt Baker DMD (black glove and dentist coat), and two skate figures for Darby Allin (TNT Title and tramp clothes).
