AEW tag team The Butcher and The Blade will make their Game Changer Wrestling debut on June 27 at The UCC in Los Angeles during GCW’s Amerika’s Most Wanted event. The duo last appeared on AEW television in March 2024, teaming with Kip Sabian to face Mark Briscoe and The Hardys on the March 1 episode of Rampage.

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. at The UCC, and the show will stream live on TrillerTV+ for subscribers. The GCW date runs the night before AEW’s Forbidden Door on June 28 in San Jose, a scheduling move that allows West Coast fans to realistically attend both cards.

On the latest What Happened When podcast, AEW commentator Nigel McGuinness joined Tony Schiavone and Conrad Thompson to revisit classic Bryan Danielson matches, largely remaining in character and delivering sharp critiques of the American Dragon. McGuinness even joked about Danielson and the Wrestling Observer Awards while maintaining his abrasive persona throughout the discussion.

Schiavone heaped praise on his broadcast partner, saying, “Nigel is probably the best color analyst I’ve ever worked with,” and noting that McGuinness is always prepared and reliable with storylines and notes — a quality Schiavone says he leans on in the booth. The glowing endorsement underscores McGuinness’s growing reputation as a top analyst in AEW.
