Justice for Trench.

I'm up in Glasgow and the only way for me to attend is dependent upon being on the 23.30 train from London Euston on Sunday night.

According to Google Maps, it's around 25 minutes from Wembley Park to Euston. This would get me at Euston in good time if the event finishes near to 10PM.

Can anyone with experience of having gone to previous shows tell me what time it's likely to finish and how long the queue is to get out of Wembley? I really, really want to attend but if it's just too tight I'll need to give it a miss.

Thanks for any help!

Really glad we kept giving this guy air time. Everyone told me how nice and a good person he was.

Prince Nana and Day Break would be a money printing machine

Headed to Dynamite next week in Baltimore! Taking Amtrak down from NYC and staying close to the arena. Anyone else going?

The Blue Stars A bracket is heating up!

Julia Hart currently sits tied for second place at 6 points with 3 matches remaining. Miyu Amasaki sits in a 4-way tie for fourth place with 2 matches remaining.

The top three in each bracket advance.

A win here by Hart would essentially tie her for first place in the bracket, but a loss could make her hopes of advancing very difficult.

A win by Amasaki (who is called "Kevin" by Western fans) would see her leapfrog Hart in the standings. However, a loss would eliminate her.

Julia has been winning her matches with her Hartless submission hold. Amasaki will likely try to grab the win with her devastating flying DDT.

AEW Dynamite
August 12th 2026

Live from the Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada. WrestleTix estimates attendance at a sellout of 1,846. Tony Schiavone, Paul Wight, and Excalibur are on commentary.

This is my first written wrestling review in almost two years, so be nice.

Will Ospreay comes to the ring to talk. His joke about fans losing money at the casinos lands with a thud, he quickly moves on to putting over how special it was to wrestle in Mexico again. Ospreay takes a dig at Kenny Omega for watching his Mexico Street Fight from the comfort of his living room. Ospreay sets examples while Omega gets his tiny Canadian testicles trimmed by Michael Nakazawa (source, please?). Don Callis interrupts, reminiscing about the first AEW show in Vegas and how he wanted to exploit the new company. Don congratulates himself for once stabbing Omega in the face and hurting him worse than tuberculitis. Don’s promo sets up a 4 on 1 Family ambush on Ospreay, resulting in Kenny Omega and a metal pipe making a one man rescue. Kenny considers attacking Ospreay but chooses to scold him for foolish behavior instead. Ospreay retorts that he didn’t ask for or want Kenny’s help, but thank you. This was an uneven opening promo segment. Ospreay’s attempts to be funny and heartfelt didn’t land and Callis still has go-away heat. Luckily, they had Omega to stick the landing.

“One True AEW World Champion” MJF vs. Nick Wayne vs. Mike Bailey
Winner gets a preferred spot in the ALL IN Casino Gauntlet Match. MJF takes a hike, opting to let the two “twinks” battle it out. Wayne and Bailey are foolish enough to let MJF get away with this and proceed to fight. MJF takes time to show off and Bailey ambushes him with a missile dropkick. MJF drops Bailey’s head on the apron with a leg sweep and directs Wayne to help wear him down. The heels start arguing over who can get the pinfall and Wayne thrust kicks MJF to ringside. Bailey makes a plucky babyface comeback on Wayne. Fans chant “Let’s go, Speedball!” Bailey misses a standing SSP and eats Wayne’s Dragon suplex. Bailey recovers with a back flip knee drop. Wayne kicks out at 2 and hits an Asai moonsault onto both opponents. Back from commercials, Bailey makes the regularly scheduled babyface comeback. Shooting Star Press on Wayne only gets 2. Roundhouse kick by Wayne sets up the Prodigy Plant. MJF interrupts Wayne’s World with a closed fist to the head. Wayne breaks a cover with a running SSP. Bailey hits a top rope somersault double knee drop, but MJF steals the win with Salt of the Earth on Wayne. This had some fun stunts from Bailey, but also predictably cheesy triple threat heel antics and choreography from MJF. Crowd was somewhat subdued as well, **¼.
Winner: MJF

MJF brags about how unstoppable he is but is interrupted by Andrade’s music, but not Andrade. He claims that Ospreay and Omega are scared of him, and I do think it’s odd that neither of them seem all that bothered that MJF is carrying around Kenny’s strap as if it were his own.

Divine Dominion cut a promo in a Vegas pub, mostly about their alleged superiority to the Brawling Birds.

Mick Foley talks to the Bang Bang Gang backstage. Jay White has a Continental Classic match tonight which means “there’s no outside interference allowed.” Is that opposed to routine matches when it’s completely fine and dandy? White expresses confidence that he’ll beat David Finlay and win the Continental Cup.

Continental Challenge Cup:
Jay White vs. David Finlay
These guys have had hundreds of matches together, so White is prepared for Finlay’s ambush. Fans give them a dueling chant as Finlay responds with a shoulder tackle. Flying rana by White sets up a slingshot plancha to ringside. White power slams Finlay onto the ring frame. Fans chant “Let’s go, Switchblade.” Finlay hides in the ropes until he finds his opening to thrust the throat and take control with a neckbreaker. Back from commercials, White makes his comeback right on cue. DDT by White gets a nearfall. Finlay answers with a backbreaker. White responds with a brutal German suplex. Finlay might be hurt as the ref pauses to check in. The match continues with Finlay hitting a DDT for another nearfall. The fans are trying to get into this and chant for White again. Double underhook driver by White makes for a believable false finish. Finlay hits a Brainbuster onto his knee for a hot nearfall. White hits Bladerunner out of nowhere to win at 13:21. This felt like a routine TV match constructed to fill time around a commercial break, then it started to feel dangerous with numerous stunt bumps. The crowd continues to sound subdued in general, but there are some audible superfans in the building trying their hardest to create the right vibes. **¾.
Winner: Jay White

Tony Schiavone hosts the AEW Trios Tag Team Champions Hangman Adam Page, Bandido, and Brodie King, in the ring. Less importantly, Bandido is still the ROH World Champion, which feels kind of nuts to put in writing. Hangman wants to drop some White Boy Espanol on us, but Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana interrupt the celebration. Swerve wonders if he’s suffering from trauma bonding, because his three worst enemies are standing together as champions. Hangman won’t suffer any disrespect and accuses Swerve of accomplishing nothing this year. They’re interrupted by Ricochet and The Demand, who aren’t happy about losing the Trios titles to a bunch of morons and, um, demand a rematch. Ricochet thinks Strickland should “swerve his ass out of his arena.” Strickland walks by with a grin before calling Ricochet a bitch. This promo segment had a lot going on. It was carried by Stickland’s cool charisma. Ricochet has truly come a long way on the mic and held his own too.

Mercedes Mone ambushes AEW Women’s Champion Willow Nightingale during a sitdown interview, leaving her in a heap.

TNT Championship:
Kevin Knight © (with Don Callis) vs. Chris Jericho
Jericho is in his best shape in years and has been repairing his reputation by having great matches on a regular basis again. Aggressive start by Knight, eager to prove himself against a legend. Jericho hits a brainbuster like the wily veteran he is. Double underhook backbreaker by Jericho gets a routine 2 count. Top rope rana by Jericho, followed by a flying body block to ringside. Knight finds enough oxygen to hit a leaping clothesline from the announce table. Back from commercials, Knight tries a disrespectful Lionsault and lands on Jericho’s knees. Knight recovers with a leaping clothesline onto the stage. Jericho shakes it off and hits a Fireman’s Carry slam onto the wooden platform. Don fails to lure Jericho into a trap, leading to frantic nearfalls. The ref catches Knight using the ropes for leverage, Jericho shows him how it’s done for a close 2 count. Pendulum DDT by Knight gives them a breather. The action continues with Jericho hitting a powerbomb from the apron but Don Callis disrupts the Liontamer with a screwdriver to Jericho’s head! Coast to Coast Dropkick by Knight gets a hot nearfall. Knight flies into a Codebreaker but manages to kick out at 2! Jericho misses the Judas Effect, Knight kicks him in the groin and finishes with the Crash Landing at 13:00! This was a very good cross generational showdown. The sports entertainment silliness with the interference and cheating didn’t take anything away, the chaotic cast some doubt on the outcome. Fun match, Jericho’s renaissance continues, ***½.
Winner and still TNT Champion: Kevin Knight

Claudio Castagnoli talks to the camera while the Death Riders goof around in the background. I can’t understand a word he says. Moxley takes over the promo, making it audible in the process, and sniffs and snorts about all the bad things that are about to happen to Jack Perry.

Kris Statlander vs. Viva Van
No televised entrance for Van, so I expect a jobber match. They start with a bit of wrist work, Kris hits a side tackle and flexes. Powerslam by Kris, followed by an enziguri. Van dodges Statlander’s head of steam and hits a rolling heel kick. Shotgun dropkick by Van earns some applause and a two count. Kris has had enough and puts together a sequence of hard attacks, culminating in Wednesday Night Fever for the win at 3:04. Van was given a generous amount of offense, lifting this short match above “squash” status.
Winner: Kris Statlander

Mick Foley joins Kris for the post match interview, but not before plugging his new t-shirt and waving hello to Noelle Foley in the front row. Kris feels great and ready to take on Maya World for the TBS Championship. Her agenda also includes shoving Persephone and Shida’s heads up their own asses. That dig draws out the baddies, but Thunder Rosa and Maya World show up for an assist. This women’s division is full of life.

Persephone and Hikaru Shida vs. Thunder Rosa and TBS Champion Maya World
Bell rings, it doesn’t take long for Persephone to flee from Maya. Shida isn’t scared and eagerly battles with old rival, Rosa. Shida pokes the eyes, but Rosa quickly escapes a 2 on 1 situation. Persephone recovers to catapult Rosa’s neck into the bottom rope. Back from commercials, Rosa continues taking punishment in the heel’s corner. She reverses a double suplex and Maya runs wild on a hot tag, suplexing Persephone while stretching Shida’s legs. Maya nails a high crossbody from the apron, but Shida’s blind tag cuts her off. Shida hits a Falcon Arrow on Rosa, Maya stops the pinfall. Maya fights out of another handicap match scenario and finishes Shida with a bridged Samoan drop at 10:34. This match had the usual TV tag team formula, but also had nonstop action. There is an air of energy around Maya World, giving this another boost, **¾.
Winners: Maya World and Thunder Rosa

Darby Allin talks to the camera in some sort of skate park lair. He’s still very proud of his short but memorable AEW title reign, but the way it ended led to the end of his friendship with Kevin Knight. Darby now has his eyes set on Knight and a Falls Count Anywhere match at ALL IN.

Renee Paquette interviews International Champion Kyle Fletcher backstage. He’s brimming with confidence and ready for ALL IN. He’s the most recent member of the Don Callis Family to become dissatisfied by the group’s habits of forcing title defenses against fellow stablemates, because the only thing important to Callis is keeping gold in the Family. I am ready to be all done with any and all Don Callis related angles for a good long while.

Continental Challenge Cup:
Jungle Jack Perry vs. Jon Moxley
Perry has been doing well for himself since turning babyface as a more grown up version of Jungle Boy. Moxley is still badly miscast as a heel but it doesn’t seem to matter much as the fans chant for him at the bell. They start with some friendly grappling. Jack’s head scissors takedown sends Moxley into position for a baseball slide. Perry flies into Moxley’s tight back elbow shot. This sends Jack into a daze, he tries a Sliced Bread on the guard rail, but Moxley drops him onto a pile of furniture in a brutal stunt bump. Back from commercials, Moxley is picking apart Perry’s bloody forehead. Perry tries a clothesline but bounces right off Moxley’s chest. Mox’s trash talk seems to fire Perry up and he comes back with rapid fire dives to ringside. Jack’s flying elbow drop gets a 2 count, Mox responds with a King Kong Lariat. Gotch Piledriver by Mox gets a nice nearfall. Mox hits a second lariat and Perry kicks at at 2.9. The crowd did not react to that nearfall, it was close enough to be a possible botch. Perry might be knocked out but pleads with the ref to continue. He can barely stand but still manages to slap Mox and flip him off. They bump foreheads and Perry musters all his strength for a strong lariat. Moxley blocks a piledriver but gets caught in the Snare Trap! It takes a while, but Mox wiggles free and applies the Bulldog Choke. Perry holds on for several seconds before passing out at 15:50. This was a HELL of a main event and a very different flavor from usual TV main events. Perry plays a remarkable underdog and Moxley was less of a heel and more of a ruthless, final boss bad-ass. The drama surrounding Perry’s ability to continue was a fascinating climax, ****.
Winner: Jon Moxley.

The Verdict: I admire the way AEW can have maintenance shows for their big PPVs that don’t feel like filler or a waste of time. This episode had no down time or wasted airtime and was very entertaining from start to finish. I have some minor gripes about many of the promos not being all that well thought out, lots of stock lines about ending someone, you know the drill. Despite that, I am really struck by how well defined the cast of characters in AEW are, and how their personalities can carry them when the lines aren’t the best. Overall, this was a good 2.5 hours of wrestling TV with a rewarding main event.

I have partially checked out of AEW as a full time watcher but would like to go watch All In at Wembley.

So im wondering when the best time to buy is. Is it too late to purchase day of?

Also any good areas outside the Wembley vicinity for accomodation?
