AEW Grand Slam Australia Matches, Preview for Saturday, February 14
AEW World Championship Match: MJF (c) vs. Brody King
Brody King has been relentless in his pursuit of the AEW World Championship ever since MJF successfully defended the title against King’s partner, ROH World Champion Bandido, last month at Maximum Carnage. It was MJF’s attack after the match that fueled King’s desire for both revenge and an AEW World Championship shot. MJF questioned King’s quality of opponents in recent easy victories, so he denied King an AEW World Title match. After meeting with Tony Khan, King revealed that they agreed there was no better way to prepare him to challenge for the AEW World Title than to face MJF himself in an Eliminator Match!
Last week on Dynamite, MJF made the huge mistake of turning his attention to the entrance of “Hangman” Adam Page, which allowed King to choke him out over the ropes, smash him in the corner with a cannonball and pin the AEW World Champion after a Gonzo Bomb! The decisive, fast victory earned King tonight’s AEW World Championship match in Sydney.
An irate MJF blamed Page’s untimely arrival for his loss and called King’s win a fluke. He also said he’s most dangerous with his back against the wall, which is exactly where he stands heading into tonight. To his credit, MJF is 8-0 as AEW World Champion when facing first-time challengers for the title. Can King ride his massive wave of momentum into another victory over MJF and the AEW World Championship? Or will MJF notch his third defense in what he promises to be a historic reign?
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Match: The Babes of Wrath (Harley Cameron and TBS Champion Willow Nightingale) vs. MegaBad (“Megasus” Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford)
Could the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions be going into this match as underdogs? MegaBad defeated the Babes of Wrath in an AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship eliminator on Dynamite last week, so they’ve proven they can beat the champs. But Harley Cameron and TBS Champion Willow Nightingale have been here before, and it’s only made them stronger.
Last year, Cameron won the world over when she returned to Australia to challenge Mercedes Moné for the TBS Championship. And while she lost that night, she gained the experience that helped her come back this year as a champion. Meanwhile, Nightingale has shown she can handle the pressure of being a double champion with a TBS Title defense against Julia Hart and AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship defense against Sisters of Sin on back to back Collisions last month.
These four women have battled in a variety of matchups for more than half a year, but this showdown in Sydney will have the biggest stakes of them all!
Winner Gets AEW World Title Match at Revolution: AEW World Trios Champion “Hangman” Adam Page vs. Andrade El Ídolo
The AEW World Championship chase has never been hotter, which brings us to this first-time battle to determine who will face the AEW World Champion at Revolution on March 15. Since losing the AEW World Championship to Samoa Joe at Full Gear in November and then failing in his attempt to regain the title at Worlds End, Page has been on a tear. As part of Jet Set Rodeo with “Speedball” Mike Bailey and “The Jet” Kevin Knight, he won the AEW World Trios Championships from The Opps and now takes a strong four-win streak into tonight’s high-pressure showdown with Andrade.
Since returning to AEW as part of the Don Callis Family, it’s hard to argue that Andrade has ever been better, though. He hasn’t lost in four singles matches and owns the rare feat of defeating Swerve Strickland and Kenny Omega in back-to-back weeks on Dynamite with a cutthroat willingness to be victorious by any means. This will be the first meeting between Hangman and Andrade of any kind, so it makes it even better that these two are at the tops of their respective games with so much on the line tonight! Who will leave Grand Slam Australia with a secured AEW World Title shot at Revolution?
TNT Championship Ladder Match: “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher (c) vs. Mark Briscoe
Since June 2024, Fletcher and Briscoe have met six times, with each coming away with three victories. Toward the end of 2025, the two engaged in a pair of intense TNT Title matches, with Briscoe taking the TNT Title in his second attempt from Fletcher in a No DQ match at Full Gear that also kept Briscoe from joining the Don Callis Family.
When Fletcher defeated Tommaso Ciampa to win the TNT Title back this past Wednesday on Dynamite, he wasted no time in declaring an open challenge in his hometown of Sydney, Australia, as he demands a hero’s welcome after not getting one last year. Briscoe immediately answered the challenge, and Fletcher said their seventh match needed to be the biggest. So he accepted Briscoe’s challenge with the stipulation that the TNT Title will hang high above the ring in a ladder match! Will Fletcher get the welcome and victory he desires, or will Briscoe spoil The Protostar’s plans for adulation?
AEW Continental Championship Match: Jon Moxley (c) vs. “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita
Sometimes, it just comes down to wanting to beat the best at their best. AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley has made that part of the mission for the Death Riders from the beginning. It’s why Moxley took so much pride in winning the Continental Classic to become the Continental Champion. But it’s also why he wants another shot at Takeshita. Before Moxley made his comeback run to win the C2, he got off to a slow start, including a loss to Takeshita, in what some thought was the match of the tournament.
Moxley hasn’t lost a singles match since that night and is on a seven-match singles win streak, yet he has been fueled by the need to avenge his loss to Takeshita. And it should come as no surprise that Takeshita took his win as a reason to challenge Moxley for the AEW Continental Championship. While Moxley defeated Takeshita in three previous encounters, he admitted that the Takeshita he lost to in December was a completely different wrestler. Is it time for Takeshita to bring more gold back to the Don Callis Family, or can Moxley exorcise the demons of his last loss?
Mixed Tag Team Tornado Hair Match (Loser of the Fall Must Have Their Head Shaven): “Timeless” Toni Storm & Orange Cassidy vs. “The Problem” Marina Shafir & Wheeler Yuta of the Death Riders
While every other competitor tonight will be focused on their pursuit of gold, this match is all about keeping your hair on your head. That’s because whoever is pinned or submitted will have their head shaved!
How did things escalate to such a wild degree? Storm and Cassidy were fighting parallel battles against the Death Riders until the Worlds End Mixed Nuts Mayhem match. That was the first time they teamed, and we witnessed the undeniable in-ring chemistry between the two. The combination continued to dance their way into everyone’s hearts, but Yuta and Shafir weren’t having it. Two weeks ago, on Collision, they nearly cut Cassidy’s hair, but Storm made the save and challenged them to a hair match at Grand Slam Australia!
However, Shafir and Yuta were able to strike Storm in the heart when they cut Mina Shirakawa’s hair this past Wednesday on Dynamite! Will they get the chance to do the same to Storm or Cassidy? Or is a Death Rider in store for a drastic makeover?
