Episode 147 is live. Acefield Retro and Chad are back with a brand-new edition of Wrestling Tonight to break it all down, a massive week across AEW, WWE, and beyond. AEW WrestleDream 2025 in St. Louis felt like a complete show from start to finish. Every match had purpose, and every moment built toward something meaningful. Darby Allin finally defeated Jon Moxley in a violent but deeply emotional I Quit match that ended with Sting's return. Hangman Page and Samoa Joe delivered the kind of world title match that rewards patience, ending with Page barely surviving before The Opps made their presence felt again. Cracks began to form in Don Callis' camp when Kazuchika Okada accidentally hit Takeshita with a Rainmaker, costing them the tag titles. Kris Statlander's win over Toni Storm was the title defense her reign needed, and Mercedes Moné continued her dominant streak by defeating Mina Shirakawa to break Ultimo Dragon's record. Elsewhere, Jurassic Express reunited to beat the Young Bucks in a fast, fun tag match that raised new questions about Kenny Omega's next move. Fletcher retained against Briscoe, Hayter and Thekla tore into each other, and The Hurt Syndicate picked up a strong win that puts them in line for gold. In WWE, Seth Rollins' shoulder injury could reshape the road to WrestleMania, but the larger story is the company's quiet rollout of an AI-driven storytelling system. Reports suggest WWE creative has begun testing artificial intelligence to help design character arcs, anticipate audience reactions, and fine-tune story pacing before scripts reach production. Whether this becomes a valuable tool or a creative crutch remains to be seen, but it marks a major shift in how wrestling stories might be told. Jacob Fatu's violent write-off and Ilja Dragunov's surprise United States Title win over Sami Zayn arrived with uncanny timing, fueling speculation that elements of the new system are already in play. Across the Pacific, AJ Styles may have wrestled his final match in Japan, closing the night with an emotional farewell speech delivered in Japanese by Shinsuke Nakamura. It was a week that balanced endings and beginnings. AEW delivered purposeful, organic storytelling while WWE stepped into uncharted territory by blending creativity with artificial intelligence. Wrestling keeps evolving, and nights like these remind everyone why they care.
AEW WrestleDream 2025 may not have been much of a "dream," but there was plenty to discuss coming out of the show. Host Adam Silverstein grabs the mic to break down 2025 AEW WrestleDream results with grades in Getting Over's signature instant analysis review. "The Silver King" covers Darby Allin vs. Jon Moxley in a controversial "I Quit" match with a surprise return, Hangman Page vs. Samoa Joe, Kris Statlander vs. Toni Storm, Mercedes Mone's title-collector booking, transparent efforts with Bandido and why there were simply too many matches without stakes for a pay-per-view.

"The Silver King" then breaks down the AEW 6th Anniversary Show and build to Title Tuesday [31:40] with Jon Moxley choking the life out of Darby Allin, Hangman Page suddenly feuding with Samoa Joe, Kris Statlander reverting to an old gimmick for no reason, Toni Storm getting "What?!" chanted during her best promo of 2025 and Andrade returning to attack Kenny Omega as one of two new Don Callis Family members.

Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly look at the stories shaping wrestling across WWE, AEW, TNA, NJPW, and beyond. Episode 144 arrives at a moment when legacies and momentum converge. WWE has confirmed John Cena against AJ Styles one final time at Crown Jewel in Perth, a meeting that feels less like a simple booking and more like the closing act of an era. Cena's farewell tour has been both celebratory and bittersweet, while Styles has spoken candidly about the end drawing near. This encounter is not about championships but about legacy, and about two icons crossing paths before the curtain falls. In Japan, IYO SKY returns home to face Mayu Iwatani at Marigold's Dream Destiny on October 26. The match is more than a dream pairing. It is a homecoming steeped in personal history and shared rivalries, a moment charged with emotion that underscores just how deeply both women have shaped modern wrestling. TNA continues to walk the line between revival and uncertainty. The Beautiful People's induction into the Hall of Fame at Bound for Glory honors the company's past influence, yet the ongoing Masha Slamovich investigation casts an undeniable shadow. The crossover with NXT has brought fresh attention, but it also raises questions of dependency, leaving many to wonder if TNA's momentum is truly its own or if it remains tied to WWE's spotlight. AEW has finally introduced Women's Tag Team Championships, a long requested step forward for the division. Eddie Kingston's return to the independent scene adds another chapter to his career, while Jazwares extending its partnership through 2026 offers stability for AEW's collectors and branding. Yet the company has also been at the center of renewed debate. Gail Kim's recent remarks about Riho's presentation during AEW's early days drew criticism, while Kenny Omega defended her, pointing to production struggles in AEW's infancy and the rich tradition of smaller joshi wrestlers headlining major events in Japan. The exchange has reignited a wider conversation about how Japanese women's wrestling is understood and respected in the United States. The aftermath of TNA Victory Road and NXT No Mercy continues to ripple. Ricky Saints stunned the wrestling world by ending Oba Femi's dominant reign, Tiffany Stratton weathered controversy to secure a match with Stephanie Vaquer at Crown Jewel, and Je'Von Evans once again stood out as a rising star even as his story became entangled with Josh Briggs. Championships have changed hands, rivalries have reignited, and the path to Bound for Glory is marked by both opportunity and instability. Episode 144 is about moments that appear to be turning points but could just as easily prove to be fault lines. Cena and Styles are closing a rivalry that defined an era, SKY and Iwatani are giving Marigold a showcase that will resonate for years, TNA is testing whether it can sustain true independence, and AEW continues to grow while navigating questions of stability in both its booking and its presentation of women's wrestling. This week reminds us that momentum can be borrowed, but legacy must be earned, and that the matches which endure are remembered not only for the victories but for what they represent when the lights fade.
