#5 Megan Bayne walked away after knocking out Toni Storm

Last Wednesday, Megan Bayne blindsided AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm on Dynamite. This past Saturday, Bayne defeated Thunder Rosa in a singles match. After the bout, The Timeless One tried to exact revenge on her attacker but was assaulted again.

The Megasus used Fate's Descent, a modified version of Brock Lesnar's signature finishing move F5, to knock out Toni Storm. Later in the show, she was asked to explain her actions. But she walked away from the backstage interview without saying a word.

#4 WWE acknowledged Bryan Danielson

Before becoming a huge deal in All Elite Wrestling, Bryan Danielson spent years in WWE carving out a legendary career. He left the Stamford-based promotion in 2021 and joined the Tony Khan-led company later in the same year. He had plenty of blockbuster matches in WWE, and fans fondly remember his time with the global juggernaut.

The Triple H-led promotion recently started a countdown series, naming the 50 greatest WrestleMania matches of all time. The company ranked Bryan Danielson's Triple Threat bout against Batista and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 30 as the 32nd greatest match on the list.

#3 AEW replaced The Lucha Brothers

Former World Tag Team Champions The Lucha Brothers are no longer in AEW. Penta left the company last year and joined WWE in January 2025. Fans expect his brother Rey Fenix to join him in the Stamford-based promotion soon. With the duo gone from the Jacksonville-based promotion, Tony Khan has replaced them with a team of two popular luchadors.

ROH World TV Champion Komander and Hologram are officially a tag team in All Elite Wrestling. They're collectively called The Lucha Stars. All Elite Wrestling aired a vignette featuring the new tandem on Saturday Night Collision. The high-flying duo is engaged in a rivalry with La Faccion Ingobernable's Rush, Dralistico, and The Beast Mortos.
