AEW’s huge Chicago show is tonight. It takes place at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill. The card is stacked and as it goes head-to-head with WWE/AAA Worlds Collide, expect Tony Khan and Co. to try to pull out all the stops to win the day. Let’s talk wrestling.

The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. CT and 5 p.m. PT, with the Tailgate Brawl pre-show at 7 p.m. ET on TNT and HBO Max. Two stipulations worth knowing: the tag title match is a three-way ladder match, and the Ospreay-Moxley main event carries a 60-minute time limit with the Death Riders permitted at ringside.

The obvious gem is Will Ospreay vs. Jon Moxley. It’s a stylistic clash that might push Ospreay into a slower pace, which will only shine a new light on his versatility. It’ll be interesting to see how this one is booked. The Chicago Street Fight is a women’s match that could be spot heavy. After all, it’s AEW, and that’s what we’ve come to expect.

Cope and Cage vs. Young Bucks and FTR puts three of the most iconic tag teams in wrestling history in one match.

I’m a huge fan of Trios and wish WWE had that division. Swerve and the New Level made a splash last month and we could see an amazing title match with them, Hangman and Brodido.

Okada-Ciampa could be an instant classic on aura alone.

And don’t sleep on Andrade vs. PAC potentially stealing the show. Even with all of that, a surprise or two could wind up being the biggest story from the event.
