00:00The worst is yet to come
00:12Cut my music
00:18The world champion
00:21So fuck a big three
00:25It's just big me
00:27And my brand spankin' new
00:32Triple B
00:39Settle down folks, daddy's got the microphone, thanks
00:42They're mighty upset with the champion right now
00:45You're supposed to take it easy on them
00:48Either step up
00:50Or get stepped on
00:53So all the donkeys in the back can keep up
00:56I'm a sprint
00:58As the greatest of all time
01:01And I'm better than you
01:03And you know it
01:05And I'll tell you this folks
01:07Max, Max, Max
01:09Look up
01:10I'm sure you were just getting to the good part, right?
01:13It made me feel a certain kind of way
01:15Feeling of asking myself
01:17What if
01:18What if
01:19I could become champion again
01:21You and I
01:22Met in this ring
01:23As we were today
01:24What would happen then?
01:25Because it wouldn't be MJF versus the cleaner
01:27Certainly isn't about MJF versus the belt collector
01:32I'm only collecting one
01:34And everybody vying for that championship belt
01:38Mwah
01:40And good
01:41Night
01:42Bam
01:43After what happened this past Saturday night
01:55I know
01:59Listen
02:00Kenny Omega once
02:01Shutting
02:02Security now flooding out from the back
02:04I know you want a piece of me in the triple B
02:07I'm a professional wrestler
02:10You're both losers
02:12I'll gladly whoop both your asses
02:15Just like I did at World's End
02:17MJF making a hasty retreat
02:21Sliding
02:22Oh look at
02:23Swerve with that podium
02:26Hangman and Swerve on a mission
02:30Of destruction here
02:32Off the back and the back
02:35Of 2025
02:37Max when I get a hold of you
02:39I am going to strangle you
02:41I've only shown you a piece of what I am capable of
02:44The hunt is on
02:46And may the worst men win
02:49Hey straight now
02:51Straight now
02:52Speaking spell straight now
02:53Do my ears deceive me
02:55That they should be a number one contender?
02:57The only man
02:58That deserves to be a number one contender
03:00Is me
03:01Every time I go on the quest
03:02For what's rightfully mine
03:04Hangman Adam Page
03:06You had the audacity
03:08To put your hands on hook
03:10I've said that he is to beat you down
03:12And choke you out on sight
03:14Cause meat is back on the menu
03:17Cause I say that we do this all next week
03:20I don't want to spend another second
03:22In this broke ass busted cow town
03:25Please send hook
03:26Send me hook
03:27No holds barred
03:29No disqualification

09:33Remember it was smashed out of his mouth by Kyle Fletcher
09:36Alexander looking at him ripping out the guns
09:38Preacher
09:39On the horizon between the Don Callis family and the Death Riders
09:45Of the biggest names in the Don Callis family

10:26To try to keep the
10:27Welcome back to Dynamite
10:28From Omaha Nebraska
10:30By virtue of the ankle injury

10:33He's trying to put Alexander to sleep
10:35And Alexander slips free
10:37Whoops

10:39Half the time limit
10:40Alexander to the top
10:42The moves off
10:43Alexander and Moxley
10:45Trading shots
10:46Moxley
10:47Went for the cutter
10:49Was denied but found it there
10:51Looking for the bulldog choke
10:52But Alexander
10:53Match up we're watching
10:55But Moxley
10:57And what he had to say afterwards
10:59Just echoed and rang
11:01In his back pocket
11:02As he wraps the leg of Moxley
11:03Whoa
11:04A figure four in the post
11:06Yeah we're almost 15 minutes
11:08In ring
11:09Boom
11:10Diving knee drop to the inside
11:12Attacking
11:13Oh but
11:14Moxley
11:15How about that
11:16Just really great touch
11:18Moxley the hammer and
11:20Anvil elbows
11:21And he taps out
11:25There's someone quite like Jon Moxley
11:29Wait a second
11:30MVP
11:31Sean Benjamin
11:32Of the Continental Classic
11:34And he does not care
11:36At all
11:38I watch these two right here
11:40Do what they do best
11:41Sisters of sin
11:42We come for the win
11:43Exactly
11:44She took her friend
11:45The road of your success
11:47Is paved by your former friend
11:49You are the only one
11:50On that little planet of yours
11:52All I can see is that
11:53You're alone
11:54And it is lonely at the top
11:56So just let us take your place
11:58And we'll make it real toxic
12:01Jungle
12:06Jack
12:07Perry
12:08We're all bandaged up
12:09We are still unclear on the extent
12:11It's heavily taken
12:12He's walking over towards us
12:13It's taken not only the shoulder
12:14But then
12:15Show some love
12:16For
12:17Ricochet
12:18The shot at Ricochet here tonight
12:20Yeah and
12:21Remember this is the first of two championship matches
12:25And for a limited time only the EWB
12:30Bacon brawl combos
12:31He is ignoring his opponent
12:33After stepping into Darby Allin's spot
12:35In the Continental Classic
12:36Really really have to fight hard
12:38And he was riding it to the end
12:40In the gold league
12:41At six points
12:43Jack was one of them
12:44But it easily won it
12:45Because both Bishop Kahn
12:46And Toma Leon out there
12:47Leapfrogged by Jack
12:49Ricochet splits the upright
12:50By Perry
12:51But Ricochet up to his feet
12:52Oh
12:53Tried to
12:54Collicially challenged
12:55AEW national champion
12:56Huh
12:57Building up steam
13:00And Perry
13:01The topes
13:02That's Ricochet
13:03Right now
13:04But now
13:07Hammered
13:08A topes of his own
13:09Now it's Perry's turn to crash into the barricade
13:11Saw Saturday night Tony
13:12Absolutely
13:13This is their plan
13:14Still at ringside
13:16Watching over Ricochet
13:17Over the last year in AEW
13:19It's been just shocking
13:20Oh God
13:22I think
13:23Those ball chants
13:24It gets him
13:25To fight back into singles wrestling shape
13:27To Jack Perry
13:28Challenging
13:29Ricochet for the AEW national championship
13:32Ducks underneath Ricochet
13:33And comes back
13:34With a big elbow strike
13:35Fighting on undaunted
13:37Volts over Ricochet
13:38Tag team match
13:42Could he do it against
13:43The Brain Buster
13:44Now the shooting star press
13:45Two
13:46No
13:47Perry able to kick out
13:48Waistlock
13:49Ricochet
13:50Oh Ricochet
13:51Reverse
13:52Slides through
13:53Ricochet
13:54Catch
13:55Perry
13:56Ricochet
13:57Oh
13:58Disrupts the balance of Jack Perry
13:59Inside it
14:00Jack Perry
14:01Two
14:02No
14:03Ricochet
14:04Now Bishop Kahn
14:05The boot
14:06Oh
14:07The spirit

14:10Of ringing in the new year
14:12With one of those big
14:14Steel barricades
14:15Oh
14:16Oh
14:17Oh
14:18The leather spirit gun
14:19Perry
14:20Jack Perry
14:21There's still
14:22There's no sportsmanship involved
14:24What happened afterwards
14:28Was uncalled
14:29Fans still one more match left to come in 2025
14:33You need to treat it like it's the last match of your life
14:36Five hundred and eighty four days since I lost and I've been waiting for that opportunity and tonight it's finally here and I'm gonna end the new year in the game
14:46Oh
14:48Oh
14:49MJF to hold the dynamite diamond ring and could be
14:53As now we turn our attention
14:57Right before the break we heard Lilla

15:03Then after Willa Nightingale scored the pinfall on Mercedes
15:07It's a train setter she knows it
15:10The overall record
15:12Oh and now Mercedes Manet but

17:48Happy New Year
17:51Cody Rhodes legacy is not a story of being born great
17:54It is a story of becoming great
17:55It begins not with gold but with expectation
17:58The expectation that comes from being the son of Dusty Rhodes
18:01One of wrestling's greatest storytellers
18:03A man who carved emotion into the business with sweat and poetry
18:07Cody did not have the luxury of obscurity
18:09From the moment he stepped through the curtain
18:11The industry looked at him and saw legacy instead of individual
18:14Was not allowed to simply become
18:15He had to prove
18:16In WWE
18:17He was polished
18:18Driven
18:19And clearly meant for more
18:20Yet somehow always placed just one level below where he knew he could be
18:24His early career gave flashes of brilliance
18:26The dashing persona
18:27The intercontinental championship
18:29Memorable feuds
18:30But something was missing
18:31Cody felt like a man rehearsing for a role he didn't write
18:34Speaking words he didn't believe
18:36Stardust became the breaking point
18:38What was meant to be creative became confinement
18:40Beneath the gold paint was a man slowly suffocating inside a dream that didn't feel like his
18:45That frustration became the spark for everything that came next
18:48Walking away from WWE in 2016 was not rebellion
18:52It was rebirth
18:53Cody left the biggest platform in the world not out of anger
18:56But out of necessity
18:57He wanted space to grow
18:58He wanted to fail on his own terms if he was going to succeed on his own terms
19:02He created a list, names he wanted to face, mountains he wanted to climb, and he went to work
19:07Indie crowds watched him with curiosity at first, then with respect, and finally with awe
19:12Cody Rhodes became a wrestler forged in independence, traveling through Ring of Honor, New Japan, and everywhere in between
19:18No pyro, no machine pushing him, no guarantees, only passion
19:22He stepped into wars with Okada, tore houses down with Ibushi, fought legends like Kurt Angle, and each match chipped away pieces of who he used to be
19:30Bit by bit, the man the world had underestimated was building a new identity
19:34Not Dusty's son, not a rejected mid-carder, not a forgotten name, but something more dangerous
19:40Something earned
19:41The American nightmare was not invented
19:43It was discovered
19:44This reinvention opened a door no one saw coming, AEW
19:47Alongside Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Chris Jericho, and under the financial vision of Tony Khan, Cody helped build the first true alternative to WWE in decades
19:57AEW wasn't just a company, it was a revolution
20:00Cody was its face, its voice, its foundation
20:03When he smashed the throne at Double or Nothing, it wasn't a shot at Triple H, it was a symbol
20:07A declaration that wrestling no longer belonged to one empire
20:11The American nightmare was now a conqueror, carving a future without permission
20:14He delivered unforgettable matches with Dustin Rhodes, where brother fought brother not out of hatred but love, and the audience sat suspended in raw emotion
20:22He bled for AEW, literally and figuratively
20:25Yet, as the company grew, something silently shifted
20:28Cody was no longer rebellious, he was establishment
20:31Fans turned
20:32The cheers became mixed
20:33The man who once represented freedom now represented authority
20:36And for the second time in his life, Cody felt the walls closing in
20:40Leaving AEW stunned the world
20:42He walked away from the house he helped build
20:44Not because he failed, but because he had reached his ceiling there too
20:47Cody Rhodes did not leave out of weakness
20:49He left because his story was not finished
20:51There was one mountain left, the one he once abandoned
20:54The one he needed to conquer to complete his legacy
20:57WWE
20:58When he returned at WrestleMania 38, rising through the smoke with the American nightmare crest glowing on the screen
21:03It felt like a homecoming and a revolution colliding in one moment
21:07The crowd didn't just react, they erupted like a decade of belief finally paid off
21:11The man WWE once overlooked now stood on their grandest stage with more momentum and identity than ever
21:16His trilogy with Seth Rollins was brutal and beautiful, especially the night he wrestled inside hell in a cell with a torn pectoral muscle, bruised purple, barely able to lift his arm, yet unwilling to break
21:27That match was not about winning, it was about proving that pain does not own destiny
21:31From that night forward, Cody Rhodes was no longer selling potential, he was fulfilling it
21:36His Royal Rumble victory, his WrestleMania main event against Roman Reigns, his promise to finish the story, these were no longer dreams
21:43They were chapters writing themselves
21:45He stood before the world not as a second generation athlete searching for identity, but as a fully forged main event presence
21:51The American nightmare carried his father's dream in one hand and his own legacy in the other
21:55When he said, I'm going to finish the story, he wasn't talking about a title, he was talking about closure, generational closure
22:01The Rhodes family never held WWE's top prize
22:04Cody intends to change that forever
22:06And this is why Cody Rhodes' journey matters
22:08Because it isn't perfect, it is broken in places
22:11It is scarred where belief once cracked
22:13It is stitched together by every failure that taught him how to rise again
22:16Some wrestlers chase glory
22:18Cody chased purpose, and purpose lasts longer than victory
22:21The American nightmare represents what wrestling really is, not strength without pain, but strength because of pain
22:27His story reminds us that you can leave, rebuild, and return stronger than the world ever expected
22:32He isn't just Dusty's son anymore
22:34He is the author of the legacy that Dusty never got to finish
22:37Cody Rhodes went from broken dreams to a nightmare the world must now reckon with
22:41Because the man who once escaped the kingdom has returned to rule it
22:44His story is still unfolding, his ending unwritten, and that is the beauty of legacy
22:48It lives as long as someone is brave enough to chase it
22:51Cody was brave
22:52Cody was relentless
22:53And now, the dream continues, wearing a suit, holding a weight belt, standing under lights bright enough to blind fear itself
23:00AEW did not begin as a company
23:02It began as a rebellion
23:03A whisper turning into a roar
23:04Fueled by wrestlers who believed that wrestling could be more than one man's vision, more than one style, more than one monopoly controlling the narrative
23:12When WWE stood untouched for nearly 20 years, it wasn't just the biggest wrestling promotion, it was the only wrestling promotion that millions believed mattered
23:21Independent wrestling thrived underground, Japan shined for purists, but globally, one flagship dominated all roads
23:27Fans who wanted something different could only dream, until one day, a spark ignited from four men with nothing but confidence and a vision
23:34Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, and the Young Bucks
23:37And behind them was a billionaire with passion, Tony Khan, not looking to buy wrestling history, but to write new history
23:43AEW was born not from power, but from belief, a belief that wrestling still had room to evolve
23:48The story truly began with All In, a show many thought was impossible
23:5210,000 seats sold in under half an hour, not because of promotion, but because of hunger
23:57People weren't just buying tickets to a wrestling event, they were buying into hope
24:01Cody defeating Nick Aldis for the NWA world title, Kenny Omega vs Pentagon Jr delivering electricity
24:07Okada stepping into an American ring, All In felt like an earthquake, shaking the foundations of the industry
24:12When that final bell rang, it was clear, this wasn't just a successful event, it was a statement
24:17Wrestling fans did not want one option, they wanted choice
24:20And in 2019, All Elite Wrestling became that choice, a company built not on nostalgia, but on future
24:26Dynamite launched with a promise written in every promo, every match, every chant from the first sold-out crowds, wrestling was free again
24:33AEW changed wrestling through philosophy, not competition
24:36Where WWE relied on scripts, AEW trusted authenticity
24:40Where others shortened matches for segments, AEW let wrestlers speak through wrestling
24:45Jon Moxley walked into the company like a wild card liberated from chains, angry, unpredictable, necessary
24:51Chris Jericho redefined himself once more, becoming the first AEW world champion and arguably the most important signing in company history
24:59Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, and Cody Rhodes stood as symbol and foundation, executives and performers, leaders and wrestlers
25:06Building a culture where creativity was not just allowed, but required
25:09The fans felt it instantly
25:11AEW didn't ask to be the alternative, it was the alternative
25:14Blood returned
25:15Themes mattered
25:16Long term storytelling resurfaced
25:18For the first time in decades, wrestling felt alive in a new way
25:21With AEW came youth
25:22The company became a generator for new main event names
25:25MJF walked in as a nobody to casuals and soon evolved into one of the greatest talkers of his generation
25:30Darby Allin became the fearless crash dummy hero of the company, skateboard in hand and soul forever bruised
25:36Sammy Guevara, Jungle Boy Jack Perry, Ricky Starks, Wardlow, Britt Baker, AEW built their stars from scratch instead of recycling former faces
25:45The women's division did not explode overnight, but when it did, Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa in their lights out war became a new benchmark for emotion and violence
25:53AEW let wrestlers tell their own stories, write their own promos, and grow into themselves instead of into roles
25:59You could watch a rookie transform into a star in real time
26:02That is something wrestling had not allowed in decades
26:05AEW did not just change wrestling inside the ring, it changed the business around it
26:09When the Forbidden Door opened, history split
26:12New Japan wrestlers walked into American arenas again
26:15Legends like Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada stood across from Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, and Kenny Omega
26:22The dream matches once reserved for fantasy became reality
26:25Wrestling companies no longer operated like isolated planets, AEW became gravity, pulling worlds together instead of pushing them apart
26:32Even WWE, once untouchable and unchanged, began to evolve
26:37Triple H took creative control and suddenly wrestling shifted again, injuries healed, storytelling grew deeper, releases reversed, and long-term arcs returned
26:46AEW did not replace WWE, it awakened it
26:49Competition is not destruction, it is acceleration
26:52AEW made WWE better because it reminded them they were not alone anymore
26:56Of course, dreams are not perfect
26:58AEW's growth came with chaos, politics, rising egos, backstage fractures, and storms that shook the company at its strongest moments
27:06CM Punk's arrival was a cultural shockwave, his return to wrestling after seven years sent arenas into earthquakes
27:11His feud with MJF reached storytelling heights, yet his exit after All Out became a chasm that split the company
27:17Cody Rhodes leaving AEW was another tremor
27:20The man who helped breathe life into the company stepped through the door he once slammed shut and returned to WWE as a hero
27:26The elite fractured, power shifted, AEW lived through controversy, but that is what happens when evolution is raw and unscripted
27:33Mistakes were real, tension was real, emotion was real
27:36The dream did not break, it struggled, matured, adapted, just like wrestling itself
27:41AEW stands today not as a challenger, but as a pillar
27:44It built a second home for wrestlers to thrive, for fans to choose, for creativity to exist without chains
27:50It gave Sting a final chapter worthy of his legacy, Bryan Danielson his greatest matches, Christian Cage his best character work, and countless new stars their first spotlight
27:59AEW did not change wrestling by trying to be WWE, it changed wrestling by refusing to be, and that choice redefined the entire landscape
28:07Wrestling no longer lives on one mountain, it lives across many
28:10Fans do not speak one language, they speak hundreds
28:13Stories do not end in one arena, they continue across oceans
28:16AEW is still young, it is flawed, powerful, unpredictable, and full of potential left to explore
28:22But no matter what comes next, another boom, another shift, another era, one truth will forever stand, AEW turned a dream into reality, and that reality opened doors for the entire wrestling world
28:33What once seemed impossible became undeniable, wrestling isn't owned by one kingdom anymore, it is a world with more voices, more futures, more imagination
28:41Maxwell Jacob Friedman did not arrive in professional wrestling like most stars do
28:45He did not spend years trying to win fans, trying to earn sympathy, trying to become beloved before becoming important
28:51MJF walked through the curtain from day one with one singular truth carved into his voice, his ego, and his ambitions, he was born to be hated
28:59In a wrestling world built on underdog stories and heroic climes, MJF was something completely different
29:04He stood in front of crowds as a villain before he had even earned the right to call himself one
29:08He insulted cities he had barely performed in, mocked fans who hadn't even seen him wrestle yet, and carried himself like a world champion long before he ever sniffed a title
29:17It wasn't arrogance without substance, it was prophecy
29:20Because while millions doubted him, MJF always knew exactly who he was destined to become
29:25The devil doesn't ask for permission to rule, he assumes the throne
29:28What made MJF special was not athleticism, height, or legacy
29:32It was power, not the physical kind, but the psychological kind
29:36He understood that wrestling is not only fought in the ring, but in the mind of every person watching
29:40His promos were not scripted lines, they were blades
29:43Every insult he delivered felt crafted to cut deep, personal enough to sting, yet masterful enough to admire
29:49While others tried to be liked, MJF weaponized hate like oxygen
29:52People didn't just boo him, they believed him
29:55Because unlike many heels who screamed for attention, Maxwell whispered his venom with a smile
29:59And the most dangerous villain is always the one who smiles while burning the world behind him
30:04When AEW was born, MJF wasn't just another talent signed to a new company
30:08He was one of its pillars, not because he carried legacy, but because he carried potential
30:13While names like Jericho, Omega, Moxley, and Cody gave AEW immediate credibility, MJF offered something the industry desperately needed, the next-generational villain
30:23Every appearance he made, every promo he cut, every match he wrestled shaped the foundation of AEW's identity
30:29Because it became clear quickly that the future of this company wasn't built only on the backs of veterans, it was built on the shoulders of a devil-wearing Burberry
30:36AEW didn't just house MJF, it needed him
30:39He was their spark, their controversy, their chaos wrapped in charisma
30:42He was the one man who could make you laugh, make you angry, and make you pay to see him lose, only to walk out still holding the spotlight
30:49His early feuds were more than stepping stones, they were transformations
30:53Cody Rhodes gave him legitimacy
30:55Chris Jericho tested his depth
30:57Jon Moxley challenged his toughness, but CM Punk changed him
31:00Their rivalry wasn't just television, it was history written in real time
31:04Punk stood before MJF as a ghost from the past, everything Max loved and hated about wrestling embodied in one man
31:10Their promos were not exchanges, they were duels
31:12Two men painting masterpieces with microphones instead of brushes
31:16MJF telling the story of being bullied as a child, only for Punk to break him later, felt like Shakespeare inside a wrestling ring
31:22Their feud broke hearts, bent loyalties, and blurred reality so fiercely that audiences forgot where the character ended and the man began
31:29That rivalry elevated MJF from a rising star to a generational storyteller
31:34The devil had met a god, and he walked away bigger, louder, and far more dangerous than when it began
31:39MJF's rise to the AEW World Championship wasn't surprising, it was inevitable
31:44He didn't climb the mountain, he built it
31:46By the time he reached the top, it felt like the company had finally caught up to his ego
31:50He didn't win the title to prove anything, he wanted to confirm what he already knew
31:54The world watched a 26-year-old become world champion, not because of size, but because of skill
31:59Not because of marketing, but because of mastery
32:01MJF stood at the top of AEW as the youngest world champion in modern history, not as a hero, not even as a villain, but as a force
32:09His reign was built on manipulation, mind games, alliances forged only to be betrayed, and vulnerability that made his chaos even harder to predict
32:17Because this was the twist in Maxwell's mythology, beneath the devil mask existed a man who felt
32:22A man who feared
32:23A man who cared
32:24But hated that he cared
32:25And nothing proved that more than his partnership with Adam Cole
32:28The MJF and Adam Cole story was not just a storyline, it was an emotional trap for the audience
32:33They weren't supposed to be friends, which is why the world fell in love when they became one
32:37Their tag team was laughter and betrayal waiting to happen, hugs and heartbreak living side by side, a time bomb with a pulse
32:44The devil found something he didn't plan for, attachment
32:47And for a moment, fans wondered whether Maxwell Jacob Friedman was evolving from villain to anti-hero, or whether this was all part of a grander deception
32:55That uncertainty is the heart of MJF's brilliance
32:58You never know when he's telling the truth
33:00You never know when he's lying
33:02You never know if the devil is lowering his horns or sharpening them
33:05Wrestling had not felt this unpredictable in years, because MJF made people feel again
33:10Controversy, injury, contract rumors, backstage tension, challengers rising to dethrone him, none of it broke MJF
33:17It refined him
33:18Because the devil is forged in pressure
33:20Every setback became evolution
33:23Every betrayal became ammunition
33:25Even when he disappeared, even when silence replaced his voice, his shadow still hung over AEW like storm clouds refusing to leave the sky
33:33The company felt different without him
33:35Quieter
33:36Colder
33:37Because love him or despise him, AEW without MJF is a world missing the very chaos that makes the product breathe
33:43MJF changed AEW not by being the strongest wrestler, but by being the most irreplaceable one
33:48He is not the face of the company because the fans chose him
33:51He is the face of AEW because he made himself impossible to ignore
33:55He broke rules, bent narratives, shattered expectations, and forced wrestling to accept a new truth
34:00Villains can lead
34:01Devils can headline
34:03And sometimes the man with the microphone is more powerful than the man with the muscles
34:07Maxwell Jacob Friedman was not made by AEW
34:10He made AEW need him
34:12And that is why he became the face of it
34:14Because one day, whether as hero, villain, or something terrifyingly between, MJF will return again
34:20He will smile as the devil
34:21He will speak with the truth people fear to hear
34:24And the world will listen
34:25Because deep down, everyone wants to see what a devil does next
34:28He is not just a character
34:29He is a movement
34:30Not just a champion
34:32But a warning
34:33The devil did not take AEW's throne
34:35He built it
34:36And then sat in it
34:37AEW did not begin with a desire to compete
34:40It began with a desire to change
34:42When All Elite Wrestling was officially announced in 2019, most of the world saw it as just another promotion trying to survive in an industry long dominated by a single empire
34:52But AEW was never built to survive, it was built to evolve
34:55It was born out of frustration, out of inspiration, out of wrestlers who no longer wanted to be told what wrestling was supposed to look like
35:02Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks, Tony Khan
35:06For minds who dared to ask a question most were too afraid to speak aloud, what if wrestling didn't have boundaries?
35:12What if talent, styles, companies, and worlds could coexist rather than compete?
35:17That question became the spark, the philosophy, the heartbeat of AEW
35:21The moment Dynamite aired for the first time, the industry didn't just gain another product
35:25It gained a mirror reflecting everything professional wrestling could be when walls are removed and doors are left open
35:31For over 20 years, the idea of cross-promotional wrestling on a global scale felt like fantasy
35:36WWE remained isolated, self-contained, sealed behind corporate walls
35:41New Japan thrived overseas but rarely crossed oceans to meet mainstream audiences
35:46Impact survived in its pocket of history, independent promotions remained hidden treasures, and dream matches stayed forever trapped inside imagination
35:53Fans debated them endlessly, wrote them, drew them, lived them, but never saw them
35:58Because doors weren't opened, they were locked by rivalry, business, ego, identity
36:03AEW was the first company brave enough to question why the locks existed at all
36:07The forbidden door became more than a phrase, it became a promise
36:10A promise that dream matches would no longer be dreams
36:13A promise that fans could finally witness styles collide, worlds overlap, chemistry explode
36:19The forbidden door wasn't one door, it was hundreds, all opening at once
36:23Everything changed when Jon Moxley walked into AEW through the crowd
36:27That moment said something deeper than words ever could, wrestlers were choosing freedom
36:32Moxley became the living embodiment of the forbidden door philosophy
36:35A man unbound by one company, one continent, one system
36:39When he appeared in New Japan Pro Wrestling shortly after debuting in AEW, it sent a signal through the industry like lightning cracking across a silent sky
36:47Wrestlers were no longer property, they were performers, they were artists
36:52They could choose where they fought and who they fought for
36:54Moxley became the bridge between worlds, and AEW encouraged it
36:58It didn't hide the crossover, it celebrated it
37:00The audience felt something they hadn't felt in years, unpredictability
37:04Wrestling was no longer a closed script, it was alive again
37:08From there, the forbidden door was not opened, it was kicked down
37:11Kenny Omega winning the AAA Mega Championship, then showing up in Impact Wrestling, then defending championships across three companies at once created a moment wrestling had not experienced in decades
37:22One man carried belts like war trophies from multiple kingdoms, proving that wrestling didn't need to be isolated to be meaningful
37:28The Young Bucks resurrected tag team wrestling with opponents from every style, lucha legends, strong style specialists, high-flying innovators
37:36And then came New Japan
37:38The moment Kazuchika Okada walked into AEW, the moment Hiroshi Tanahashi stood across from Jon Moxley, the moment Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega produced matches that felt like cinema, everyone watching understood that something irreversible had happened
37:52Wrestling was no longer divided by company borders
37:55It was one universe with shared gravity
37:57Forbidden door became an event, but more importantly, it became a mentality
38:01Promotions didn't need to compete to prove superiority, they could collaborate to elevate an entire industry
38:07Wrestlers like Tomohiro Ishii, Minoru Suzuki, Jay White, Zack Sabre Jr., Kenta, names fans once only saw in Japanese rings, suddenly stood in AEW arenas, greeted by Western crowds like legends entering a new empire
38:21On the other side, AEW talent traveled across oceans to compete in tournaments they once only dreamed about
38:27TTR winning IWGP tag gold
38:29Eddie Kingston fighting in Japan like he was born for it
38:32Bryan Danielson trading submissions with Okada in matches built on respect rather than rivalry
38:37Sting wrestling in front of New Japan fans decades after his prime, and still soaring like he was 20 years younger
38:43AEW didn't just collaborate
38:45It built bridges across generations, across cultures, across continents
38:49The forbidden door also changed how fans watched wrestling
38:52No longer were conversations limited to one company's product
38:55Fans began tracking multiple promotions like chapters of one massive story
38:59A payoff could begin in AEW and finish in Japan, or start in Impact and explode in Mexico
39:05Championships traveled
39:07Stories breathed
39:08The idea of brand loyalty faded, replaced by wrestling loyalty
39:12People stopped asking, which company is better, and started asking, where will the next moment happen?
39:18AEW made wrestling unpredictable at a global scale
39:21Matches weren't predictable
39:22Appearances weren't predictable
39:24Returns weren't predictable
39:26Wrestling became exciting again, not because AEW declared itself superior, but because AEW declared the doors open
39:34Of course, evolution brings turbulence
39:36Not every crossover worked perfectly
39:38Schedules clashed, creative visions conflicted, egos collided
39:42The forbidden door brought collaboration, but collaboration invites compromise, risk, vulnerability
39:48Injuries halted dream matches
39:50Politics blocked certain partnerships
39:52AEW endured criticism, chaos, backlash, but that is what happens when boundaries are tested
39:58Progress is messy
40:00Revolution is never clean
40:02AEW didn't open a perfect system, it opened a living one
40:05One where mistakes matter, but growth matters more
40:08Despite storms, the door remained open, because AEW refused to let wrestling shrink back into cages after finally breaking out
40:15AEW changed wrestling forever because it reminded the world that wrestling works best when it is not contained, when it is allowed to grow, breathe, collide, travel
40:24The forbidden door didn't weaken the industry, it strengthened it
40:28WWE even began shifting years later, allowing cross-brand movement, partnering with outside companies, acknowledging a world beyond its own for the first time in over two decades
40:38The landscape became wider
40:39The opportunities multiplied
40:41Fans returned
40:42The dream continued
40:43AEW's impact is not measured in ratings or numbers, it is measured in possibility
40:48In matches fans once believed impossible
40:50In moments that erased borders
40:52In wrestlers who found opportunity across the world rather than within a single contract
40:57AEW made wrestling feel global again, connected again, unpredictable again
41:02The forbidden door stands today not as a chapter, but as a new rulebook
41:06A new standard
41:07A new era
41:08Because wrestling is no longer divided
41:10Wrestling is connected
41:12And AEW built the bridge
41:14It didn't break wrestling's rules
41:16It rewrote them
41:17They were never meant to fall
41:18They were meant to rule
41:19When AEW was born, it was not built by executives in suits or corporate strategists in boardrooms
41:25It was crafted by wrestlers who believed they could change wrestling forever
41:28Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, and the Young Bucks stood shoulder to shoulder with one goal
41:33To prove that wrestling did not need to be controlled by one empire, one style, one voice
41:38They were the outlaws, the disruptors, the heartbeat of a revolution
41:42AEW was more than a promotion, it was a promise
41:45A promise that wrestling belonged to the wrestlers again
41:48For a time, that promise was unbreakable
41:50AEW felt electric, unpredictable, alive
41:53The elite stood not just at the top of the card, but at the top of the industry itself
41:57Yet deep inside this new kingdom, something began to fracture
42:01Power changes people
42:02Success changes relationships
42:04And dreams, when stretched too far, become the spark that burns even their creators
42:09The fall of the elite did not begin with violence or betrayal
42:12It began quietly, like cracks in glass no one notices until the shatter comes
42:16Cody Rhodes was the first fracture
42:18Once the voice of AEW's rebellion, the man who smashed thrones and waved flags
42:23Cody suddenly felt like a stranger within the empire he helped build
42:27Fans who once adored him turned cold, unsure whether he was hero or politician
42:31His stories felt distant
42:32His presence no longer matched the revolution around him
42:35And then, without explosion or farewell, he walked away
42:38The wrestling world paused
42:40How could a founder leave the company he gave breath to?
42:42But Cody's exit was not the end
42:44It was the signal
42:45AEW was evolving, and the elite were no longer evolving with it at the same pace
42:49What was once unity was now four men walking four different roads
42:53Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks continued forward, but AEW was changing faster than they could control
42:59New stars rose
43:01Fresh voices emerged
43:02CM Punk entered the company like a meteor, bringing with him attention, controversy, and a legacy powerful enough to challenge everything the elite represented
43:10Punk was not a product of AEW's creation
43:13He was the embodiment of wrestling's past rebellion
43:16And soon, this new rebellion clashed with the original one
43:19The tension between Punk and the elite did not feel like a storyline, it felt real
43:23When CM Punk stood on the post-all-out media stage and scorched the elite with words that felt more like wounds
43:28History shifted instantly
43:30The men who built AEW were suddenly the villains of their own home
43:33And when the backstage brawl followed, chaos erupted like wildfire
43:37Suspensions, stripped titles, silence
43:40AEW's foundation shook
43:42The founders who once stood united now stood on opposite ends of a war, not against WWE, not against another promotion, but against themselves
43:50The fall of the elite was not televised in one night
43:53It unfolded slowly, painfully, across months, the way families break, not through explosions, but through exhaustion
44:00The Bucks returned to divided reactions
44:02Some cheered because they remembered the revolution
44:05Others booed because they remembered the brawl
44:07Kenny Omega returned with the same brilliance but a changed aura
44:11Once the golden heart of AEW, now a man carrying the ghost of a fractured past
44:15Adam Page, already drifting far from their shadows, stood alone in storylines that mirrored real emotion, insecurity, self-worth, identity without the elite
44:24The group that once shaped AEW's vision now felt like pieces wandering without center
44:29They were no longer the unstoppable force, they were the story of what happens when leadership becomes history instead of direction
44:35But what makes this fall compelling is not its tragedy, it is its transformation
44:40Because the elite did not collapse
44:42They evolved through their downfall
44:44When the Bucks eventually turned heel, embracing their darker instincts, it felt like acceptance of who they had become
44:50They were not the shining revolution anymore, they were the corrupted evolution
44:54Kenny Omega began wrestling like a man fighting the past, the future, and himself
44:58His matches carried weight, like chapters in a life he was still trying to define
45:02Hangman Page became the emotional soul of AEW, a reminder that vulnerability and victory can coexist
45:09Their fall made them deeper, more human, more layered
45:12Perfection left them, but storytelling entered them
45:15They no longer represented AEW's beginning, they became the story of AEW's growing pains
45:20The fall of the elite is not a failure, it is a mirror
45:23It shows that revolutions do not stay pure forever
45:26They grow, fracture, conflict, and rebuild
45:29The elite were heroes until they became the establishment, and then they became obstacles to new voices, new leaders, new eras
45:35But that is not a wrong turn, it is evolution
45:38AEW did not collapse without them in power
45:41It diversified
45:42MJF rose
45:43Swerve Strickland ascended
45:45Jay White arrived like a weapon
45:47The company became a world rather than a circle
45:49And in that expansion, the elite found new purpose, not as rulers, but as characters inside the creation they once controlled
45:55Their fall gave birth to something greater than their dominance, it gave AEW the ability to grow beyond them
46:00Even now, the elite stand as both legacy and lesson
46:03They showed the world that wrestlers can build an empire without asking permission
46:07They proved that change is possible, that dreams can become reality, that wrestling can break cages nobody thought would ever open
46:14But they also proved that evolution never stops, not even for the architects
46:18The fall of the elite is not the end of their story
46:21It is merely the part where mythology meets reality, where icons face consequences, where legends become human again
46:27AEW began with the elite, but it survived without them at the center
46:31And that is not failure
46:33That is success too large for one group to carry forever
46:36The day their revolution fractured was the day wrestling learned its greatest truth
46:39No company, no era, no movement is built to remain unchallenged
46:43The elite changed wrestling by rising, and then changed it again by falling
46:47Because revolutions don't end when the dream breaks
46:50They evolve when the dream outgrows the dreamers
46:52And somewhere ahead, when AEW enters its next chapter, whether in unity, rivalry, or reinvention
46:58The elite will still be written into its bones
47:01Not as untouchable gods
47:03But as the flawed, brilliant, ambitious men who dared to build something bigger than themselves
47:08Their fall was not a tragedy, it was the cost of creating something powerful enough to live beyond them
47:13They were the founders
47:14They became the conflict
47:16And they will always be part of the story, even when they no longer control it
47:20Because the elite didn't just build AEW
47:22They taught AEW how to exist without them
47:24Imagine a world where the shock of wrestling's most unbelievable headline did not belong to Vince McMahon retiring, CM Punk's return, or the forbidden door opening
47:33Instead, imagine the headline that would shatter the wrestling universe overnight, Tony Khan buys WWE
47:39No lawsuits, no creative power struggle, no family succession, just one lightning bolt ripping through the business
47:46The richest storyline in wrestling history suddenly becomes reality
47:50In this alternate timeline, we explore the aftermath of the greatest corporate twist the industry could ever see
47:55AEW, once the rebellious underdog, now owns the empire it swore to challenge
48:00WWE, once the king of the mountain, now answers to the man who built a revolution against it
48:06The invasion doesn't begin with fists or promos, it begins with a signature on paper, and wrestling changes forever
48:12The wrestling world wakes up broken and reborn on the same morning
48:15Fans flood social media like a tidal wave
48:18Some laugh
48:19Some panic
48:20Some refuse to believe
48:21Wrestling media crashes under the weight of history happening in real time
48:26AEW wrestlers stand wide-eyed backstage, understanding that their war just became something far bigger than rivalry
48:32It became responsibility
48:34WWE wrestlers arrive to arenas like Prisoners of Confusion, wondering if they are about to be fired, repackaged, or pushed into a new golden age
48:42Tony Khan stands in the center of the business with two rosters at his fingertips, two histories under his control, and one question that will define everything next
48:51Does he merge the worlds, or keep them fighting forever?
48:54The first move he makes is the one that shakes the business to its bones
48:57Monday Night Raw opens with no theme music
49:00The arena is black
49:01Then, one spotlight
49:03Tony Khan walks out alone
49:05No commentary
49:06No pyro
49:07No Vince McMahon swagger
49:09Just silence
49:10The kind that only history creates
49:11He looks into the camera and says five words that rewrite 20 years of wrestling narrative
49:16The war is officially over
49:17Fans explode
49:18Social media implodes
49:20And just when the silence returns, when the world thinks the announcement is complete, a second spotlight appears
49:25Out walks Triple H
49:27He doesn't smile
49:28He doesn't shake hands
49:29He stares
49:30The game who built modern WWE creative stands face-to-face with the man who now owns everything he built
49:36Tension thicker than storylines
49:38History heavier than belts
49:40They shake hands, business first, ego second
49:43And from that moment forward, the invasion becomes inevitable
49:46The first crossover pay-per-view becomes the event wrestling fans have dreamed about for decades
49:50AEW vs. WWE is no longer a forbidden dream, it is the main event of history
49:55The poster alone sells out stadiums, Roman Reigns staring down Kenny Omega
50:00Seth Rollins standing across from Adam Cole
50:03MJF smirking beside Cody Rhodes as their paths twist back into one another
50:07The Usos vs. The Young Bucks promoted as tag-team royalty colliding
50:11Bryan Danielson returning to the company he once left behind, not as a returning superstar, but as a conquering philosopher of violence
50:18CM Punk, the man who walked out of WWE and rebuilt his legacy elsewhere, now walks back through the front door not as talent, but as power
50:26He becomes the most polarizing name in the merged universe, loved by some, hated by others, worshipped by many
50:32The invasion is no longer storyline, it is reality
50:35This new world is chaos
50:37And chaos is beautiful
50:39Raw features AEW matches
50:41Dynamite showcases WWE stars
50:43Championships cross brands like currency
50:45The Intercontinental Championship is defended in AEW for the first time in history
50:50Kenny Omega appears on SmackDown to confront Roman Reigns
50:53Crowd erupts, commentary loses control, Twitter collapses
50:57Becky Lynch walks into Dynamite facing Britt Baker, two worlds colliding in pure unfiltered magic
51:03Gunther stands across from Samoa Joe in a match no writer could ever script better than Destiny itself
51:08And the moment that breaks wrestling logic forever, the elite step into a WWE ring, while Seth Rollins arrives in AEW smiling like a man who just discovered new religion
51:18Stories begin writing themselves
51:20MJF becomes the ultimate villain of both companies, insulting John Cena one week and tormenting Randy Orton the next
51:27Cody Rhodes stands torn between loyalty to AEW and Destiny in WWE, the nightmare finally becoming bigger than one universe
51:35CM Punk vs Seth Rollins main events Wrestlemania, not as a return, but as a culmination
51:40Imagine the commentary, Punk walks into the house that once broke him, not to take it back, but to take it over
51:46Ratings break records
51:48Wembley sells out
51:49Wrestlemania sells out
51:50Forbidden Door isn't just a pay-per-view anymore, it's every week
51:53For the first time in generations, wrestling becomes mainstream again
51:57But even paradise shakes
51:59Ego resurfaces
52:00AEW originals fear being overshadowed by WWE icons
52:05WWE loyalists worry AEW talent will steal spots they fought a decade for
52:10Tony Khan must govern not just a roster, but two cultures
52:13Triple H, though cooperative, holds power quietly
52:17Paul Heyman becomes the bridge between universes, a prophet of chaos guiding the empire
52:22Storms form in locker rooms
52:24CM Punk and Roman Reigns verbally destroy each other on live TV
52:28Seth Rollins and Adam Cole break character to speak truth no script could contain
52:32Who deserves to headline Wrestlemania, the veterans or the revolutionaries?
52:36The invasion becomes war again, not between companies, but inside one world built from two legacies
52:42And that is where wrestling becomes art
52:44Because the greatest story this takeover creates isn't AEW beating WWE or WWE surviving AEW
52:51It's watching the generations fight for identity
52:54Old guard versus new blood
52:56Tradition versus innovation
52:58Corporate structure versus creative rebellion
53:00Tony Khan faces the truth Vince McMahon did decades ago
53:03Running the industry means more than owning it
53:05It means balancing egos as large as arenas and dreams as sharp as steel chairs
53:10If Tony succeeds, he creates the greatest era wrestling has ever seen
53:14If he fails, the empire fractures into chaos big enough to destroy everything both sides built
53:19That is the beauty of this alternate universe
53:21Because in this world, wrestling does not belong to one name anymore
53:25It belongs to everyone watching
53:27The AEW invasion of WWE is not just a purchase
53:31It is a rewriting of destiny, giving fans every match they ever begged for
53:35Every confrontation they imagined, every dream they thought would never happen
53:39It unshackles creativity, unlocks forbidden matchups, and merges history with future
53:44Wrestling becomes one world with endless doors, endless paths, endless rivalries
53:49If Tony Khan bought WWE, wrestling wouldn't just change
53:52Wrestling would evolve beyond anything the world could contain
53:55The dream becomes the war
53:57The war becomes the era
53:59The era becomes legend
54:01And one day, people will ask not who won, AEW or WWE
54:05But how wrestling became limitless the moment the walls fell and the doors stayed open forever
