I'm still reeling from Cena's heel turn Saturday night. Moments like this are what make wrestling so magical—the kind you chase as a fan. Punk's "pipebomb," Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson debuting in AEW on the same night, the entire build and execution of WrestleMania 40 last year, and now Cena’s shocking turn. Just a few of the unforgettable moments that hook you into wrestling and never let go. When wrestling is at its best, there’s truly nothing better!

Shaq Steps Into the Ring on AEW Dynamite!

4 years ago today, AEW Dynamite delivered a loaded go-home show before Revolution, featuring a rare in-ring appearance by NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. In the night’s opening match, Shaq teamed with Jade Cargill to defeat Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet, with Shaq impressing fans by taking a table bump during the bout.

Elsewhere on the show, Tully Blanchard returned to in-ring action for the first time in decades, competing alongside FTR in a six-man tag match. The night also saw the AEW debut of Paul Wight (formerly Big Show), who teased a major signing announcement set for Revolution.

Speaking of Revolution, we’re now just 6 days away from this year’s Revolution and the card is looking stacked!
