WWE has been around for several decades. Although the wrestling industry has thrilled fans worldwide, it is indisputable that being in the business is challenging. Notwithstanding the demanding nature of the business, several wrestlers and even families have contributed to the popularity of wrestling as a sport today.
And when it comes to wrestling dynasties, few families can match the Rhodes’ impressive record. From patriarch Dusty Rhodes to his sons (Cody and Dustin Rhodes), this wrestling family has left an indelible mark on the world of professional wrestling.
Having said that, the Rhodes family has a long history in professional wrestling, and its members risk everything in the ring to uphold that reputation. Cody Rhodes is already possibly superior to both his father and brother in terms of performance. The youngest son of ‘The American Dream’ rose to fame in 2006 when he began working for WWE.

We’re less than a month away from one of WWE’s biggest events ever. But tensions started to rise even before the final showdown. Recently, Amanda Huber, wife of the late Aew star Jon Huber (Brodie Lee), called out Dwayne Johnson for his insensitive comment on Cody Rhodes.
Dwayne Johnson (via his X account)
Huber, who works with Aew as a community outreach coordinator, criticized Johnson for talking about Rhodes’ age gap with his siblings when The Rock’s own kids have a 20-year difference.
Simone is Johnson’s eldest child, born in 2001 to his former wife, Dany Garcia. His youngest daughter, Tiana Gia Johnson, was born in 2018.

Aew Revolution 2024 was a hell of a show and it ended with the satisfying finale of Sting’s time in the ring. The final stretch of Sting’s career was a wonderful chance to set things right for the legendary wrestler, after the wrestling business had constantly let him down over the years. He was once the ace of WCW, but the incompetence and selfishness of others hurt his legacy in different ways at different promotions. But despite being in his 60s, his three years at Aew allowed him to go out on his own terms.
The Stinger is a beloved icon for a reason. While he did get wrapped up in such unfortunate things as the WCW mini-movies, the Shockmaster, the ill-fated Hulk Hogan match at Starrcade, and a really unfortunate PPV main event involving Jeff Hardy, Sting was still one of WCW’s great highlights and kicked a...

Pro wrestler Terry Funk has died, according to WWE and pro wrestler Mick Foley. Funk was 79 years old.
Along with wrestling, the highly respected performer worked in film, including multiple Sylvester Stallone projects as far back as 1978’s “Paradise Alley.” Funk also appeared in “Over the Top,” did stunts in “Rocky III” and choreographed the climactic fight in “Rocky V.”
Funk was also featured in the cult classic film “Road House” and Johnny Knoxville’s “The Ringer.” He also had TV roles on shows such as “Quantum Leap” and “Swamp Thing.”
Funk was best known in his later years for pioneering “hardcore” wrestling, which involves using weapons and sharp objects, such as barbed wire, to both simulate and cause actual damage in order to increase the drama in a match. This often involved copious amounts of bleeding. Funk was also infamous for wrestling multiple “retirement” matches before quickly coming back afterward.

Welcome back to another review of Aew Dark: Elevation, which features eight matches this week. We’ve got regulars Paul Wight and Matt Menard on commentary as usual. So let’s get into the review!
Match #1: Nyla Rose and Marina Shafir def. Sandra Moone and J-Rod
My Thoughts: Well this was an interesting surprise. I expected a squash but no, Rose and Shafir let their opponents put some work in and this came off as more competitive than even the patented Aew “quasi-squash”. Great start to this week’s show!
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Brian Cage def. Rob McKnight
My Thoughts: Now This was a squash match! Everything Rob McKnight tried to do was totally no-sold by Cage, who eventually trapped McKnight in the King Kong Clutch for the win.
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #3: Juice Robinson def. Titus Alexander
My Thoughts: Much like the first match on this show,...

Former WWE star Barry Windham suffered a heart attack this weekend that has left him in the ICU fighting for his life.
The 62-year-old went into cardiac arrest on Friday evening according to his niece, Mika Rotunda.
Rotunda shared that Windham had an emergency procedure but, as of Monday, said “the future is uncertain.”
In Memoriam 2022: 100 Great Celebrities Who Died This Year!
She created a GoFundMe to help her uncle with the medical expenses, as he doesn’t have health insurance due to the limited work he’s had in the last several years.
“After those countless years of wrestling matches, traveling and entertaining worldwide, he experienced a number of taxing injuries and ended up undergoing multiple surgeries,” Rotunda wrote. “That led to other health complications. Barry hung his boots for the last time in the early 2000s.”
She continued that besides financial struggles, the family was enduring “great stress and hardship,...

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which, after last week’s short five-match card, is a whopping 11-match show..! Let’s just say I prefer the shorter shows. Let’s get right into the review!
Match #1: John Silver & Alex Reynolds def. Zuka & Alexander Moss
My Thoughts: I’m in a constant state of worry about the current 4-man roster of the Dark Order. It seems like the further away from the death of Brodie Lee, the more Tony Khan seems to be abandoning this team. I do sometimes wonder if not for their connection to Hangman Page, would they all still be in Aew? Which is a shame because the Dark Order, and in particular John Silver & Alex Reynolds, always deliver great matches – even on Dark and Elevation!

Saraya Bevis, formerly known as WWE superstar Paige, has officially returned to Instagram, sharing a stunning new photo and using her real first name.
The former multi-time champion and ringside manager in WWE showed off a sizzling look captured during a photo shoot where she wore a full black bodysuit.
The one-piece had several belts and buckles stylishly running across her midsection, with Saraya wearing large latex or vinyl gloves, also in black. She kept both hands cradling her chin, cheeks, and side temples for the pose.
Along with the other black attire, Paige wore a huge black hat, which may resemble a large Undertaker hat to some, but is an additional fashion statement for many others.

Rhodes was holding his knee. Back in the ring, Punk dropped elbows on Dustin’s injured knee. Cm Punk continued to work on Dustin’s knee.

Welcome to the first of this weeks Aew reviews, Aew Dark: Elevation, which kicks off the wrestling week for us here at Nerdly. As always I’m editor Phil and let’s get straight into the review!
Match 1: Riho def. Angelica Risk
My Thoughts: I expected this to be a swift squash match for Riho on the road to her match against Jamie Hayter later this week but that was not what we got. Angelica Risk was actually a decent opponent for Riho, matching Riho’s speed with her own strength – with a running hip (really butt) shot on Riho in the corner that looked vicious.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match 2: Brock Anderson, Lee Johnson & Dustin Rhodes def. The Wingmen
My Thoughts: A solid trios match that saw Dustin Rhoides outclass everyone in the match in the brioef time he was in the ring. As I always say,...

Welcome to this weeks review of Aew Dark: Elevation. I’m Phil and this weeks episode features a match between Sonny Kiss and Joey Janela – their feud apparently culminating/continuing on Dark, where most of this story has played out…And the breakdown of the Dark Order. It really is interesting to see both stories play out only on Aew’s YouTube shows and not across All shows like some other companies. Rewards those that watch all of Aew programming.
Match #1: Thunder Rosa def. Kaia McKenna
My Thoughts: Kaia McKenna was seriously no match for Thunder Rosa here. What little offense McKenna got in looked weak compared to the absolutely vicious attacks Rosa laid in on her. This one started out like most Rosa YouTube matches – opponent gets some offense in etc., but quickly switched into a absolute squash match.
My Score: 1.5 out of 5 Match #2: Gunn Club def.

Welcome to this week’s Aew: Dynamite review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this whole league has gotten a shot of life in the last few weeks, hasn’t it? Cm Punk, Ruby Soho, Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson have brought the rush of energy this league has desperately needed. It feels like big things are happening here. Speaking of which, Jon Moxley fights Minrou Suzuki in the main event. I’ve got a good feeling about this show. Let’s get to it.
Match #1: Malakai Black def. Dustin Rhodes The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:
Dustin charged at Malakai Black and took him down with a kick to the head. He followed up with kidney punches and then a German suplex. The action spilled outside the ring where Dustin stalked Malakai Black. Dustin’s momentum came to a screeching halt when Black suplexed Dustin through a ringside table!

Match #1: The Blade def. Ryan Mantell
My Thoughts: Basically a showcase for Blade before his match with Orange Cassidy on Dynamite, this was a squash match with not only The Blade demolishing his opponent but The Bunny got up to some devious tricks too!
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Thunder Rosa def. KiLynn King

Match #1: Lance Archer def. Zachariah
My Thoughts: The usual lance Archer squash match opens the show. Archer throws his opponent in the ring, then around the ring, then gets the pin.
My Score: 0 out of 5 Match #2: Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy def. Chaos Project (Luther and Serpentico)
My Thoughts: A ridiculously fun match that took absolutely nothing seriously and felt remarkably refreshing for that very fact. Serpentico took his usual punishment 0 not only being thrown around by Kuther but also Chuck Taylor! Loved the finish with Luther accidentally pinning his own partner and Chuck Taylor & Orange Cassidy cashing in on it!
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #3: Hikaru Shida def. Dulce Tormenta
My Thoughts: What a way to make your Aew debut, against former champ Hikaru Shida.

My Thoughts: Archer didin’t go ham on Ryan Mantell, giving the debuting wrestler a chance to show off before getting pummeled by Archer for the win. Made a real change seeing Archer wrestle for a little bit rather than just throw his opponent around the ring.
My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Qt Marshall & Aaron Solow def. Terrell & Terence Hughes
My Thoughts: Terrell & Terence Hughes got in some decent moves in this match, usually against Solow, but you just knew that Marshall was Not going to lose this one, even if...

Welcome to this weeks review of Aew: Dark, again from Daily’s Place in front of a smaller crowd… This show show look a lot different in the coming weeks apparently. Maybe. Probably not (apart from fans ringside). Anyway on with this weeks review…
Match #1: Wardlow def. Baron Black
My Thoughts: Apart from a few chops and some work on Wardlow’s left arm this match was all Wardlow. All Wardlow throwing Black around… around the ring that is. Nice attempt at a Cobra Clutch by Black though!
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Lee Johnson def. Vary Morales
My Thoughts: This was a fantastic match with two guys who seemed very well matched. Morales was a great opponent for Johnson and offered some great back and forth, meaning this match was never fully predictable.
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #3: Abadon def. Hyan
My Thoughts: I hate squash...

Opening with a replay of the post-Saturday Night Dynamite promo by Eddie Kingston (which was already available to view on Aew’s YouTube channel) this weeks episode of Aew Dark: Elevation is going to one of the final few before Aew hits the road and, I’m guessing, we don’t see as many indie wrestlers making their appearance(s) as enhancement talent on Dark and Elevation… Anyway, back to the review!
Match #1: Billy Gunn and Colten Gunn def. Jd Drake and Ryan Nemeth
My Thoughts: I was hoping for something interesting from this opener and instead we got another Gunn Club quasi-squash match; with Colten taking a beating from Nemeth and then Jd Drake (though there were a couple of botches and telegraphed spots as it happened), before tagging in his dad to run buck-wild on the Wingmen and get the win after hitting the Famouser on Nemeth.

Another week, another episode of Aew Dark: Elevation a show whose quality, like its other namesake Aew: Dark, goes up and down like a yo-yo. We had a high streak for the past few weeks so I’m expecting the down turn to hit any time now… Whatever, lets get on to this weeks review!
Match #1: Wardlow def. Jason Hotch
My Thoughts: What a way to open the show… Copy the worst of WWE. Pathetic. Seriously does nothing to make Wardlow look strong. Dude should be fighting the likes of Miro, any of Bear Country… Not enhancement talent in their second appearance on Aew programming.
My Score: 0 out of 5 Match #2: Dustin Rhodes and Lee Johnson def. Vsk and Travis Titan
My Thoughts: Lee Johnson gets another outing on Aew programming and still, thankfully, looks like he’s making more and more progress with his skills. And wrestling with...

Welcome to this return of The Last Week In Wrestling, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this simplified version of the column shall encompass all of the major reviews on the site and serve as the exclusive debut of many of the leagues’ different reviews, including the Major League Wrestling, Ring Of Honor, National Wrestling Alliance, Nxt UK and 205 Live, along with my versions of the two Aew: Dark reviews and the debut of New Japan Strong.

Welcome to this weeks review of Aew Dark: Elevation, the promotions second YouTube show that aims to showcase new and upcoming talent. We’ve had a good couple of weeks from this show so let’s see how this week fares… Oh sh*t, we’re not off to a good start with another 150 minute show!
Match #1: Jungle Boy def. Adrian Alanis
My Thoughts: Adrian Alanis got to go it alone in his first singles match against Jungle Boy, and wouldn’t you know it this was another of Aew’s quasi-squash matches, with just enough action to give this some length but featuring Jungle Boy pretty much railing on Alanis for the duration. Still I could watch Jungle Boy do this all day…
My Score: 1.5 out of 5 Match #2: Dustin Rhodes def. Aaron Solow
My Thoughts: A great match between two men who are now, storywise, rivals. But what this actually was,...
