Beyond The Junkyard

The Junkyard is open, and this week we’ve got a little bit of everything!

We kick things off with some Junkyard Therapy, where we vent about whatever has been grinding our gears this week—from work frustrations to the everyday nonsense that has absolutely nothing to do with wrestling or sports.

Then, Washington Who? The Commanders are selling merchandise featuring the old Washington Redskins moniker. Is this simply about keeping old trademarks and history alive, or could it be a sign that the team is laying the groundwork for a surprising return to the name and logo?

Finally, we go ALL ELITE in the JUNKYARD as we make our official predictions for AEW All In! Who walks out with the big wins, which matches could steal the show, and where might AEW go next?

Plus, we’ll wrap things up with the usual Junkyard chaos.

Why do AEW and WWE fans seem to argue about everything? Is it brand loyalty, tribalism, or are they simply looking for different things from professional wrestling?

Should AEW stop signing former WWE talent?

In this episode of Beyond the Junkyard, we dive into one of the biggest questions surrounding AEW's future. After comments from Saraya (Paige) about her time in the company, is it finally time for Tony Khan to rethink his approach to bringing in ex-WWE stars?

We also take a look at the current state of AEW's Women's Tag Team scene. Why has the division struggled to gain momentum? Is the talent there but the direction isn't, or is something bigger missing? (This portion is purely my opinion and speculation—not based on insider information.)

Topics include:

What's holding back AEW's Women's Tag Team scene?

Saraya's comments and what they reveal about AEW.

Why constantly signing former WWE names may be doing more harm than good.

What AEW should prioritize instead to build its own identity.

Do you agree, or should AEW continue pursuing established WWE talent whenever they're available?

Then it’s time to Cut That Promo, where we sound off on the biggest thing in wrestling that got under our skin this week.

The crew is back for another week of AEW discussion, hot takes, fantasy booking, and a few rants along the way.

This week, we kick things off by playing booker and trying to fix the AEW Women’s Tag Team Title picture on the road to All In. If the division is finally getting championships, how should AEW build the scene and who should be leading it?

🤔 Lio Rush continues to evolve his character, but is this current gimmick actually working, or is it missing the mark?

🏆 AEW has already given away 12 world title matches on free television this year. Are world championship matches becoming too common? Why does it hurt the product, and how can AEW restore the prestige of its top titles?

📰 Rumor Mill: Could Mick Foley really have one final match left in him? Are The Young Bucks teasing a New Day-style direction? * Could Paramount position AEW programming for a future spot on CBS?

Welcome back to Beyond the Junkyard — where we love wrestling so you don’t have too. This week the crew dives into the fallout from AEW Double or Nothing and asks the big question: was it just a great PPV… or one of AEW’s best shows ever? We break down the standout moments, MJF defending the World Title on TV, early thoughts on AEW Redemption, and speculate on the mystery women’s wildcard coming next week.

Plus, WWE loads up free TV with BOTH world titles being defended this Saturday — smart business move or another example of burning through big matches too fast? And with rumors swirling that FTR could be WWE-bound again, we debate whether a return run would actually matter or just become another nostalgia pop that fizzles out.

On the sports side, James wonders if he personally cursed the Canadiens, the Knicks are heading to the NBA Finals, and we investigate whether the Danhausen curse/uncurse is somehow becoming a real phenomenon.

🔥 Topics Include:

• AEW Double or Nothing review
• Best AEW PPV ever?
• MJF defending the title on TV
• WWE title matches on free television
• FTR WWE return rumors
• Danhausen curse discussion
• Canadiens heartbreak
• Knicks NBA Finals hype

Can Josh Allen and the Bills finally get over the hump? And will Buffalo once again rule the AFC East? Then we shift to hockey as the Sabres fight to keep their playoff run alive against Montreal.
