Watch the Replay
AEW All Out proved to be the decisive winner in the pro wrestling showdown, delivering quality in-ring action that WWE’s Wrestlepalooza—and its expensive $30 ESPN subscription—simply couldn’t match. While WWE’s show was a corporate disappointment filled with controversial returns and recycled matches, AEW’s five-hour marathon was a rollercoaster of incredible performances and shocking moments.From the brutal masterpiece between Mark Briscoe and MJF to the “must-see car crash” of the Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin Coffin Match, AEW won the night. Meanwhile, WWE’s event was defined by a stale Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena main event and a mixed tag match that made fans uncomfortable. Read the full Ringside Report verdict to find out why All Out’s quality of wrestling gave it the decisive victory, and why WWE’s “age problem” and ESPN debut spelled disaster.

AJ Lee’s Return Sparks WWE vs. AEW Ratings War, All Out vs. Wrestlepalooza!
AJ Lee Returns to WWE as Wrestling War Erupts: Complete Breakdown of WWE vs AEW September 20th Counter-Programming Battle AJ Lee shocked the wrestling world with her return to WWE SmackDown in Chicago, setting up a blockbuster mixed tag team match while simultaneously igniting the biggest counter-programming battle between WWE and AEW since the Monday Night Wars. With both promotions staging major events on September 20th, wrestling fans are witnessing a modern-day ratings war that has already seen strategic moves and surprising developments. AJ Lee’s Return Sparks Mixed Reactions from Wrestling Insiders After years away from professional wrestling, AJ Lee made her dramatic return on SmackDown in Chicago, attacking Becky Lynch to defend her real-life husband CM Punk. The moment transforms the ongoing CM Punk vs Seth Rollins rivalry into a compelling mixed tag team storyline, though reactions from wrestling observers reveal sharp divisions about its potential. “I like AJ Lee,” admitted Dave Simon on Wrestling Uncensored Episode 748, though he tempered expectations. “She was in a different era. She had some skills, some talent and athleticism, and I’d like to see what she could do against Becky.” However, co-host Johnny North expressed considerable skepticism about AJ’s in-ring capabilities after her extended absence: “I can’t say like a match that really stands out where I’m like, oh, that was an amazing match from AJ Lee. I can’t think of any off top my head.”

Forbidden Door 2025 Preview Thumbnail
Forbidden Door 2025 Preview: Hangman vs. MJF, Cena’s Final Tour and WWE’s Creative Problems
Wrestling Uncensored hosts Dave Simon and Johnny North delivered their most passionate debate of the year while previewing Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door from London’s O2 Arena. The duo clashed over whether “Timeless” Toni Storm should retain her Women’s World Championship against Athena, with Simon delivering a fiery defense: “Tony Storm is a superstar – she makes the championship important, she makes the division important. Athena’s promos are terrible compared to Storm’s, which are some of the best in the business.” But the real fireworks came during their analysis of WWE’s backstage culture, as Simon raised serious concerns about Triple H’s behavior on WWE Untold. “He’s holding them very close, whispering in their ears while they’re basically in their gear,” Simon observed about Triple H’s extended embraces with wrestlers. “It’s not a workplace thing – this is like a power move.” From Hangman Page’s “magnificent” title reign that has him “crushing promos” against MJF, to potential dream matches featuring the “fucking good team” of Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Darby Allin, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay, the hosts delivered their most comprehensive wrestling analysis yet. Plus: Chris Jericho’s rumored WWE return, John Cena’s farewell tour strategy, and why Simon thinks WWE’s comedy segments are “cringy” disasters that ruin otherwise solid programming.
