    This week on The AEW-some Pod, Johnny Taylor, Diana Prince, and Gringo Fantastico welcome the most famous front-row face in wrestling fandom—Michael Daniel, aka Brock Lesnar Guy. Yes, that guy. He's here, he's passionate, and somehow, he's never lost his voice. We dive deep into this week's Dynamite like Swerve off a cage—anarchy, blood, betrayals, and enough backstage drama to make “Total Divas” look like a chill book club. Will Ospreay and Hangman coexist? Did Ricochet go full cartoon villain? And was MJF's grin the most punchable thing on TV this week? (Spoiler: yes.)

With more guts than pomp, Cassidy laid it out: AEW needs him, but Mox? Not so much. Adam Cole's back after 14 months, barely holding his ankle together with cadaver parts, yet Buddy Matthews still didn't know what hit him. And just when you thought AEW had peaked on the WTF scale, Bobby Lashley strolls onto TBS, chokeslams Swerve, and teams up with MVP like he's got something to prove. Throw in Mercedes Moné putting a target on Statlander's back and Private Party's tag title shocker, and you've got a night that was pure wrestling bedlam.
