In-depth Predictions/Other elements for AEW Dynasty 2026 by AverageMansReviews

Casino Gauntlet Match for the vacant AEW TNT Championship: Tommaso Ciampa: basically of what I have seen of him with this championship in his first reign, I wouldn't mind seeing more of it in a second reign.

The Don Callis': Andrade El Ídolo [with Don Callis] vs. Darby Allin; Singles match; If Allin wins, he will receive a future AEW World Championship Match: I really don't like this stipulation, just because its virtual signals on I wonder who is going to win? I would have preferred the phrasing of: the winner of this match gets an opportunity regardless of the championship in question, I know the result is probably going to be the same anyway, but let's try and hide it a little bit shall we.

Will Ospreay vs. Champ Death Riders': Jon Moxley [with Marina Shafir;] Singles Match for the AEW Continental Championship: Osprey will get a helping hand from his real-life; life partner Alex Windsor and Shafir's opponent on The Zero Hour show just for this event starts in a singles match.

The Young Bucks': Matt & Nick Jackson vs. the Don Callis Family's: the AEW International Champion Kazuchika Okada & the NJPW World Television Champion Konosuke Takeshita [with Don Callis;] Tag Team Match: I fully expect the family to be victorious here, but then again I also would like to think that maybe someone returning to make the save, so it is about storyline progression.

Jamie Hayter Champ the Triangle of Madness': Thekla [with The Sisters of Sin's; Julia Hart & Skye Blue; Singles Match for the AEW Women's World Championship: I fully expect the numbers game to be a factor in this match slot

Cope and Cage: Adam Copeland and Christian Cage vs. Champs FTR's: Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood [with Stokely] Tag Team Match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship: for me it does depend if the Phoenix will fly again or Stokely is going to be telling factor, but I have made my decision and I am going to stick with it.

Chris Jericho vs. The Demand's: Ricochet [with The GOA's: Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona;] Singles Match: in short I fully expect interference from The GOA that will be the deciding factor.

Kenny Omega vs. Champ MJF; Singles Match for the AEW World Championship: I get the feeling that when we have AEW AllIn 2026 from London Wembley Stadium on Sunday 30/08/2026, I wouldn't be surprised if we are in a situation where it is Career vs. Championship where I can see Kenny Omega winning there, but for here and now I will stick with the champion winning here.

Real Talking Time: 

That was a complete waste of time wasn't it?: On multiple levels actually if you have any fond memories of this TV program I suggest you don't watch this film, so allow me to stress this for the final time there are spoilers ahead.

Well for the first 45 to 50 minutes of this 112 minutes film not much happens and I need you to understand this, because consequently it becomes a massive factor later on in this content; yes obviously we do get excellent set designs, scenery and costumes and anything else from this side of thing and after that time length I have already specified we do get some components of what this TV program used to be like in this film... and yes I am trying to soften the blow of what I am going to say next.

But now they want to why this content is being created in the first place; so a family member of the Shelby's gets killed, but amongst other things such as Duke as the leader of the Peaky Blinders; is doing basically a terrible job, which brings his father Thomas Shelby out of hiding everyone with me so far... now without being racist but just factual in the confines of this TV program; predominantly the Peaky Blinders are gypsies and gypsies are predominately family orientated, so they would not kill one of their own unless they were forced to or had reason to so my first question is this why the fudge did Thomas kill Arthur and don't give me that manure about Thomas being drunk or fed up of looking after Arthur; that is just a copout and you know it, it goes against everything that you spent years building up about the Peaky Blinders; yes absolutely we have seen that they have had fights, and conversely yes I can see Thomas performing a mercy killing if Arthur was ill or dying; but you didn't choose this route, you chose to be nonsensical and lazy and  tarnish not only the character development you have built up about the Peaky Blinders but also Thomas Shelby and not forgetting he originally came back from a war and killing so, he wouldn't actually mentally put himself back down there again for this reason as I was drunk and fed up.

So on to my next question; why did we waste so much time at the beginning of this movie? It really doesn't go anywhere quick or of great substance, to the point where I actually said or referenced to the person I want some of this content with; this has to be the beginning of a trilogy of movies, because in my head that was the only way it to justify it, because they had so much work to do in roughly the last 42 minutes it would be crazy to do that; to fit everything in; in 42 minutes it would be fudgin' insane!... But I was proven wrong they did it and yes it was a steaming pile of manure!

Now we come on to the big problem; so you bring back Thomas to basically kill him off... thanks for that... Not! So if this was going to be the case why did we waste so much time at the beginning of this movie and beyond, when time is essentially precious and I can pretty much tell you we aren't getting a sequel, because why would we without Thomas Shelby? Like the person I want some of this content was said: why didn't they just put a couple of more episodes at the end of the last season and finish it off then instead of now? So yes this movie is a complete waste of time as the way the film was building I would have said: this feels like the building instalment to a sequel or if they had to guess in its entirety a trilogy, which yes I know we aren't getting that and if by some miracle we get a sequel without Thomas, I don't think many people would watch it anyway? So I find myself asking again for the multiple time if this was the case why waste so much time? This is why I really don't like this film with a passion; the more time I spend talking about it, the more time I just get infuriated, I am just glad I have gotten through it so I never have to see it again or hopefully never see it again.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/German Nazism with salute/terrorism/domestic terrorism/burning/animal cruelty/shooting/ritual/medical/references to suicide and hanging

This film is not worth watching: briefly; during World War II; the Peaky Blinders are being led by Erasmus "Duke" Shelby [Barry Keoghan:] he has somewhat tarnished the name of the Peaky Blinders and also found himself in a spot of bother with the Nazis, so Thomas Shelby [Cillian Murphy:] comes out of hiding to right the ship and seek some revenge.

Generally speaking: this film is that poor... No I will correct myself here and say that bad I don't know where to add to begin; the storyline/script is god atrocious, simultaneously character developments are pointless on any level be expositional or anything else for at least somewhere between 45 and maybe 50 minutes nothing of great substance happens and just to come back if something does happen by the end of it you are so bored already that you are past caring about it and if you're wondering in total this film goes on for 112 minutes.

Art, action and comedy; yes as you can imagine the set designs, scenery and costumes and other are very much top tier quality, yes we also do have some good action sequences with gunfire including someone pushing Thomas Shelby to be Thomas Shelby with an explosive ending; this is one of those moments where this film begins to feel and look like a Peaky Blinders film

Character developments and performances; the character developments are I cannot overstate this pointless and yes I know I have made reference to this already, but it is such a big point I thought I would make it twice; but as stand-alone character developments they are adequate for their problems and their performances were also I have to say it as it is; on reflection going through the motions.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; people have been waiting years for this film and it is a complete waste of time, even though I am going to be a hypocrite here, because I have waste my time on it; I really wouldn't recommend you do it unless you are a massive fan of the TV program, but then again I wouldn't drastically change your expectations to something much lower, if you watch this film and yes at some point soon I will be creating some more content where I get to discuss the problems... the massive problems with this film, I just can't do it here and on completing that content I will be in linking it in at the bottom of this content; so it is optional if you want to read it or not and yes there are some good sequences or elements to this film, but the negatives so, so, so outweigh the positives that it is a massive counterbalance; to the point where I hate this film with a passion and finally there is an ongoing sequence in the ending credit and a message on screen.

Warning: I usually say at some point or another they will be censored adult language references

Well there are a number of things I want to discuss: so Chris Jericho made his return to AEW and not I will repeat not WWE this last Wednesday; 01/04/2026; so straight off the bat I just want to say to those content creators that were indicating that Jericho's future lay somewhere else you can kiss my posterior just after I have had a dump... now let me elaborate if you indicated that it looks like Jericho was more or less heading back to the WWE. I don't have a problem with that assessment so I have no problem with you, I just have a problem with the fudgers that were saying something to the effect of Breaking News or Confirming Chris Jericho is heading back to the WWE or officially re-signed with WWE, as we now know that was complete hollocks wasn't it? I refuse now to take whatever these content creators say as fact, because throughout Jericho’s absence I was like okay he has moved on, no problem [I will leave the example link of what I mean.]

If you're wondering why I am taking this news like this; it is because putting out content on any subject matters and for some content creators to make up stories just to get clicks and so on really urinates me off, including and this is completely true that some weeks ago a content creator put out some content breaking the news of the passing of Jim Ross which I can confirm as of this content being created he is still alive and if you know anything of is medical background this is in extremely bad taste and yes that is me being calm about this particular situation.

But as it relates to Jericho I would prefer him inside AEW than outside of the promotion as things stand, but I also agree that they need to do something different with him or it will go around and around in circles just with a the same just with a different gimmick change; this time around I understand he has the name of something to the effect of either "The Cornerstone" or just "Cornerstone."

Hopefully he has gone with the concept of a tweener persona to begin with, that way he could just show up and potentially work with the young talent with them and back them as a tag team partner or hypothetically agree with Jon Moxley when Moxley says hypothetically this young talent could just do with getting their head kicked in because their mouth is writing too many checks or sometime down the line give Jericho one more run as the AEW World Champion; with one significant catch; he comes up with the concept of until I am dethroned I will be wrestling wrestlers for this championship that have never held it before, so potentially we could see Copeland vs. Jericho for the veterans or alternatively we could see Jack Perry vs. Jericho or Daniel Garcia vs. Jericho; but I really do hope between Jericho and Tony Khan they have a good idea of what is next for him and hopefully it will be different and/or fresh, because I have been around wrestling long enough to know, in this case it isn't there will be some of the AEW audience that will quickly turn against Jericho again, I just hope that this doesn't become the case, because Jericho is they genuine legend and whatever time you have left in the ring should be enjoyable for all and not requests for him to retire.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/drugs/sexual assault/decomposing/cutting/bodily functions/animal cruelty/electrocution/medical/references to cancer.

I am trying to find my niece: briefly; we meet DCDP Officer Dr. Alex Cross [Morgan Freeman:] he is a forensic psychologist and his niece has gone missing, we need Dr. Kate McTiernan [Ashley Judd:] she is a medical doctor, specifically surging; she gets kidnapped like many before her.

Generally speaking: to begin proceedings we have some character developments in the form of exposition; the storyline/script is something okay and solid, but man the framework and pacing for the vast majority of this movie which is 115 minutes long; like three quarters is just terrible; in theory I know what they were trying to do; by making this film slow and steady and that is to basically lean on the investigation, performances aspects to build atmosphere; which is absolutely fine, if that is what you want to do; which works to a certain extent. But now I have said that; there was a limit to how much you can lean on this outlay without a change of gear now and again just to move the film on now and again which it does have that much later on, but for the meantime; you are essentially leaving this film in their hands of individually or together of Freeman or/and of Judd with some quick moments thrown in if you are lucky; so Freeman or/and Judd trying to fill up essentially this empty space in the scenes, which they do to a certain extent again, but you can still feel a certain amount of emptiness in these scenes, which quickly becomes tiresome, I mean if I didn't know this film was safely under two hours, I would say it felt comfortable in more like somewhere between 130-150 minutes of the movie.

Art and action; without giving too much away; this hideout has been well-designed to fulfil its purpose and much later on host this well thought out action sequence.

Character developments and performances; the character developments and vast majority of the cast performances are good versions of what they are meant to be; but as you could probably see this coming; this film should be very thankful that it has Freeman or/and Judd contracted to be in this film; because without them and especially Freeman in particular this film would have avalanched in on itself.

This film receives: 4/10, as you may have guessed by now I found this film to be essentially really hard work and boring as hell, but if you're like me and never seen it before now it won't harm you; however you may need to get a log of coffee ready to drink to keep you awake throughout your viewing experience; it does have some positive awards accredited to its name such as 5 Nominees which include but not limited to Blockbuster Entertainment Awards 1998 Favorite Actor -Suspense Morgan Freeman and from the same award ceremony/event Favorite Actress - Suspense Ashley Judd

Warning: there will be censored adult language references to in this content

Let's just get through this: what the hell is this manure?! I mean even before this I was disinterested with this entire Mania anyway, but especially now with this turn of events, I mean how is Pat McAfee a draw? Just for the record I know this is not a WWE call... It is very much a TKO specifically Ariel "Ari" Emanuel call, because conveniently he happens to be the agent to McAfee and sees him as the next Sylvester Stallone.

So I may have just average intelligence here, but surely this would qualify as very much a conflict of fudgin' interest?

I can reassure you McAfee is not a draw, now if you want to talk about a draw Chris Jericho is, before I receive complaints or anything like that... I know from a storyline perspective it would have made no sense as well, but I'm just talking about a draw and nothing else, even from a storyline perspective Cowboy Bob Orton would have been a bigger draw and fit into the storyline consequently you could even have Brandi Rhodes getting involved.

But I agree we didn't need any of this; they had two decades or somewhere around here of history to draw upon.

I mean let's talk about the elephant in the room, TKO don't know wrestling the entire Internet Wrestling Universe is better qualified to understand wrestling then TKO, even the Internet Wrestling Universe is better qualified than Dwayne Johnson and I will tell you why... Not in one Universe but two Universes Johnson has shown himself to be just about his self interests or preservation not only in the wrestling world, but now in the film industry, yes absolutely he will also protect his family, so as far as I'm concerned he is an unreliable product and one that we can't trust, so yes I am fully aware of his and his family's legacy, presence and future, but can anyone tell me the last time Johnson over recent times actually showed up and made the product on any level on any show better?

I mean in theory and I do stress in theory technically what TKO have done is something the the WWF used to do in the 1980s with the era of Rock & Wrestling: what they used to do is to get celebrities involved in one way or another consequently two things happened; 1 the WWF/WWE became this huge juggernaut, making money and 2 wrestling got into the mainstream [ I hasten to add I am fully aware that the WWF/WWE have throughout the years continued to use this practice,] I am not trying to justify this situation on the contrary now I have said all this I can now make these points; back in the day when they used to use this practice and it went well the WWF/WWE used to have a long-term plan so that the build was flawless by today's standards and secondly these names used to be absolutely massive; Mr. T, Cyndi Lauper, Alice Cooper, Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather and others honourable mentions because of who they are/were individually; Muhammed Ali and Aretha Franklin and now we are getting McAfee and the name that keeps circling is Jelly Roll; I mean firstly Wow let's be honest at best compared to the names I have just mentioned they are the equivalent of Poundstretcher Store/Wal-Mart celebrities and roughly 2 weeks out from this year's Mania it isn't good enough, it takes more time than some weeks on a telephone and then this reveal.

I have no idea why they just didn't say Orton vs. Rhodes championship match in a 60 Minute Iron Man Match with John Cena on commentary/special enforcer to stop outside interference; at least he has history with both Orton and Rhodes and people would say okay another layer that makes some kind of sense as long as we can focus on Orton and Rhodes, I know Cena isn't necessary, but at least my idea makes coherent sense and at least some people would be on board with it hopefully.

But and this will be my final section; the massive positive to this situation is that you now have the Wrestling Universe for the vase large majority agreeing with one another including but not limited to people that don't usually agree with one another saying in short this is a bunch of manure, this would be the third year in a row that this kind of garbage has happened, it is beyond me how TKO or/and the WWE especially the WWE okay their hands may be somewhat tied, but how much damage they are doing to one of the biggest products in all of professional wrestling in Wrestle Mania; even to the point where you now have Rhodes or/and CM Punk trying to indicate in their promos; that may be; we know this sucks.

But the fact remains this is just turned on to a massive manure show and don't get me wrong there are some matches that look good, but the main event slots don't appeal to me especially now.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/animal cruelty/burning/drugs/miscarriage/medical

Kellerman's Mountain House Resort in the Summer of 1963: briefly; we meet Frances "Baby" Houseman [Jennifer Grey:] she is a young woman that is on holiday with her family, she also goes by the name of Baby 99.9% of the time, she has a good idea of what she wants to do with her life as he tells us by an inner monologue, well that is until she meets Johnny Castle [Patrick Swayze:] he is a hard-working teacher of dance and dancer has a rebel streak to him, that life is not a straightforward as she has plotted out to be.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 100 minute film is good; but I need to quickly state by saying; it does a fantastic job of [I know before I continue that this is a happy coincidence;] of sending us back to the 1960s and it reminds us of what fabulous films were around in the 1980s.

Art, action and comedy; the first place to begin is the setting and all of that; they went with the authentic approach such as family unit getting away for a break, where you can learn many things such as dancing. The choreography is flawless: yes this will not be the last time I used this wording; because obviously it is an artform, but as you will see its used as a vessel for emotional, spiritual and I would be dumb not to point out yes there is quite clearly sexual as well: it is so flawless that later on I will be making reference lasting impression. We have training/practising montages with a couple of comical moments and fisticuffs much later on.

Character developments and performances; broadly speaking on both counts they are good versions of what they are meant to be and their performances reflect that and the chemistry throughout this past is vibrant. But let's be honest here it is down to Baby/Grey and Johnny/Swayze to why this film is in its own right a classic; as they naturally and flawlessly delivering on these key points; from two different world; Baby being well off and has her life somewhat mapped out, meanwhile Johnny comes from world of very little having to graft in his own way and work really hard, coming-of-age [just almost two different age brackets: Baby late teens; 17-year-old and Johnny mid-20s; 25] and later on for roughly a scene, we have this short-term role reversal in character types, where we have Baby being the real life person as her eyes are opened for the first time to what life could be/is for average people, whilst we have Johnny being basically a positive one so combined this all together with their on-screen chemistry you have something very special indeed and something of a legendary status of being Baby/Grey and Johnny/Swayze: as in they made these characters and performances priceless and cannot under any circumstances be rebooted/remade or anything else you can think of they are these characters as much as Hugh Jackman is James/Logan/Wolverine.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; for the fact in popular culture even to this very day and be on, where people are performing this legendary final dance as their first dance when they get married. But sadly be in in the 1960s [where this film is said or the 1980s where/when this film got released:] it is a sad reminder of in 2025 [when this content was first created] and for the foreseeable future how far broadly speaking we have fallen behind/divided as a society, we have become because these character developments of our lead pairing and especially with there being the equivalent of too much even close contact and touching without the authorities being called. But back on to a positive note this is definitely one of those films that you need to see once in your lifetime, there are still pictures throughout the ending credits and yes this film does have some awards accredited to its name; 13 Winners that includes but not limited to; Academy Awards, USA 1988 Oscar Best Music, Original Song Franke Previte (music/lyrics) John DeNicola (music Donald Markowitz (music) For the song "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" and BMI Film & TV Awards 1989 Most Performed Song from a Film Patrick Swayze Stacy Widelitz For the song "She's Like The Wind". 9 Nominees which also include but not limited to Golden Globes, USA 1988  Golden Globe Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical Jennifer Grey and from the same award ceremony/event Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical Patrick Swayze
