AEW shows in Cincinnati spark controversy and high‑octane match results

Chris Jericho defended a polarising segment from the AEW Dynamite "Summer Blockbuster" aired on June 10, saying the live audience’s reaction in Cincinnati was the ultimate measure of success. The promo involved a heated verbal exchange with Tommaso Ciampa that provoked chants of "Tommy’s Mommy" from the crowd, prompting mixed responses online.

Two days later, AEW Collision’s "Summer Blockbuster" at the Andrew J. Brady Music Center delivered a chaotic street‑fight finale, with the Death Riders (including Jon Moxley) defeating Shane Taylor Promotions. Other highlights included Kenny Omega’s return victory over Bad Dude Tito, Kevin Knight retaining the TNT Championship against Myron Reed, and various tag‑team and women's matches shaping storylines ahead of the upcoming Forbidden Door event.
