AEW Match of the Month Podcast – May 2026 Preview
Get ready for another packed edition of the AEW Match of the Month Podcast, where Gerald “WW” Lynn and the ever-mysterious DFV break down the very best matches AEW had to offer throughout May 2026. Based on fan ratings, crowd reactions, and Gerald's own often-questionable judgment, four matches rose above the rest.
This month, the crew takes listeners from the chaos of Double or Nothing 2026 all the way through some of the most memorable episodes of Dynamite and Collision. Along the way, they'll revisit wrestling history, music history, sports history, and even a few bizarre sponsor commercials that somehow made it onto the air.
Featured Awards
🏆 AEW Trios or More Match of the Month
The wild and unpredictable Anarchy in the Arena match from Double or Nothing takes center stage as Bobby Lashley, Chris Jericho, Jack Perry, The Young Bucks, and Shelton Benjamin battle Andrade El Idolo, Ricochet, The Gunns' allies, and The Demand in a chaotic war that had Louis Armstrong Stadium chanting, cheering, and throwing itself into the madness.
🏆 AEW Women's Singles Match of the Month
A brutal Lights Out Philly Street Fight between Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida earns top honors, featuring kendo sticks, tables, fluorescent light tubes, and enough violence to make Philadelphia proud. Gerald even calls it his current frontrunner for AEW Women's Match of the Year.
🏆 AEW Tag Team Match of the Month
The legendary rivalry between Christian & Cope and FTR reaches another violent chapter in an I Quit New York Street Fight. Fire, barbed wire, stolen watches, Beth Phoenix, and championship gold all factor into what Gerald considers another classic in this ongoing feud.

In what Gerald calls a potential Match of the Year candidate, Swerve Strickland and Bandido deliver an unforgettable first-round Owen Hart Tournament battle featuring breathtaking athleticism, near falls, and some of the most spectacular sequences seen all year.
