AEW Unrestricted

Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun, two-thirds of The Demand, return to break down how everything finally clicked for them in AEW. They talk about finding their true identity as a team, why aligning with Ricochet felt natural, and how being “in demand” has changed their confidence, presentation, and mindset. They dive into four years of tag-team chemistry, lessons learned from New Japan’s World Tag League, and how those experiences reshaped them as performers. They also reflect on their recent high-profile feud with The Hurt Syndicate, the physicality of facing legends, wrestling for the AEW World Trios Titles at Philly’s historic 2300 Arena, and what’s still driving them as they chase gold. Plus, Toa & Kaun open up about evolving their personalities, embracing the spotlight, and why the best of The Demand is still to come. AEW Unrestricted is sponsored by Upper Deck.

Ref Aubrey Edwards and Will Washington are joined by special guest co-host Nyla Rose to break down their favorite AEW Pay-Per-View matches of 2025! They relive Swerve Strickland vs. Ricochet at Revolution, including Prince Nana’s stolen robe, Leslie Jones going crazy at ringside, and the massive pop when everything finally came full circle. The conversation rolls into Dynasty and the wild Kenny Omega vs. Ricochet vs. Speedball Mike Bailey triple threat, and why it’s one of the best three-ways AEW has ever done! They talk the full chaos of Anarchy in the Arena at Double or Nothing including the Pointer Sisters into Drowning Pool, Willow Nightingale stealing the show, forklifts appearing mid-match, and the very real post-match question of “is everyone actually okay?” And they dive into All In Texas, the emotional payoff of Hangman Adam Page vs. Jon Moxley, finally seeing the AEW World Championship again, and why that ending felt so special. Plus, Will Ospreay & Swerve Strickland vs. The Young Bucks, the EVP stipulation, and how losing that power sparked one of Matt and Nick Jackson’s strongest years ever, and BTS on Kris Statlander’s championship win at All Out!

The endlessly unpredictable (and unemployed) RJ City returns to talk hosting All Elite Comedy with Colt Cabana (Live in Chicago on 12/26/25), why the show thrives on performers you don’t think will necessarily work, and how the AEW Match Game routinely descends into chaos. RJ breaks down the decision to end Hey! (EW) after 165 episodes, how it quietly became an AEW rite of passage, and why he knew it was time to stop before repeating himself. He shares behind-the-scenes stories about guests who thought they were getting a serious interview, unexpected moments that turned into wrestling memes, and why resistance often makes comedy even better. Plus, RJ opens up about the influence of Pee-wee Herman, his friendship with Paul Reubens, what full commitment to a character really costs, and how that philosophy shaped his career — with a wild David Arquette story, an AEW Family Feud memory, and plenty of laughs along the way.
