I feel like we need to redefine the word spoiler after this #AEWDynamite. No, this year of Dynamites. There's a roster full of spoilers. Each week are spoiling us rotten with incredible action. The biggest spoiler of all is Tony Khan because feel like I could fantastybook to Wembley. #AEW

Excited as I've just written a pitch to do something that scares me. Yet it's also about a topic extremely personal to me: f🤬ing up, surviving and learning from mistakes.

So, it seems enough time has passed with Rusev and Aleister Black's #WWE runs to confirm that history would repeat itself. With Andrade and Tommaso Ciampa's current #AEW starts, seemingly, the pendulum swings back. Here's how:

Catching up on #AEWCollision and while I recognise the recency bias, this feels like AEW's strongest start to the year since 2022. It's been an incredible month with bangers, surprises, upsets and need things. February is looking awesome too! Now release those Wembley tickets and take my money

Had a good day resting. Spent most of it writing. Spent more time than I intended refining a wrestling article rather than my novel, and I don't regret that time. Writing about wrestling fulfils and completes my fandom. It's made me love wrestling and #AEW especially so much more. #wrestlesky🤼
