AEW’s Rebel Heart special delivered one of the most emotional Dynamites in recent memory, and Tim and Dug are breaking down a night that had them reaching for the tissues more than once.

They discuss AEW’s tribute to Andy “The Butcher” Williams, Rebel’s emotional appearance during the women’s trios match, and why AEW continues to handle these deeply personal shows so well.

Plus: Swerve Strickland and The New Level continue to click, Hangman’s current direction still feels awkward, Steven Borden shows off some ridiculous athleticism, Andrade and The Beast Mortos deliver, Will Ospreay battles David Finlay, and Thekla and Mercedes Moné steal the show on the microphone.

Then things get weird when Tim and Dug somehow fantasy book Wheeler Yuta as the man who could blow up the Death Riders from within.

Also discussed:

• Britt Baker’s return to The Waiting Room
• The growing tension around Roderick Strong
• Hangman and Brodido’s trios title direction
• Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight clicking as a team
• FTR costing the Young Bucks in the tables match
• Possible cracks forming inside the Death Riders
• Buddy Matthews, Sheamus and United Empire speculation
• And, unfortunately, mayo in swim trunks
