It’s spooky season in wrestling — and AEW’s giving us plenty to scream about!

This week, we dive into Halloween’s most horrifying wrestling moments, from the infamous Texas Chainsaw Massacre match to some booking decisions that were just as terrifying. We talk AEW’s Blood and Guts, the women’s division’s next big opportunity, and the tag team tournament that could shake up the division.

Plus:

Should Blood have a mens match this year??

Who’s ready to step up — Eddie Kingston? Hook?

And why AEW should use the UK crowds who bring the noise every time.

👻 From spooky nostalgia to serious booking breakdowns — it’s another chaotic, and passionate episode of the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast!

AJ Lee is back — and the hyperbole machine is already in overdrive. Just as John Cena’s “heel turn” was once dubbed the best in history, AJ’s return is now being hailed as the greatest comeback ever. Some fans even say it’s the third best return in her own house. Whatever the ranking, there’s no denying the shockwaves it’s sending through the wrestling world.

We break down what AJ’s return means for WWE, how it stacks up against CM Punk’s legendary comeback, and what it says about the power of nostalgia in wrestling. We also look at AEW’s ongoing perception issues — was the residency too long? — and why Eddie Kingston’s New York grit might be exactly what the company needs.

From MJF’s evolution to the women’s division taking two steps forward and one step back, to whether we’re in a preseason lull, to tag team dream matches and shocking title wins on TV — this episode dives deep into why wrestling thrives on hype, surprises, and the larger-than-life moments that keep fans talking long after the bell rings.
