Wrestling Mayhem Show 977: “I Called a Match for AEW Dynamite!” | Austin Cairnes Shares His Wild Story

This week’s episode of Wrestling Mayhem Show takes us straight to the heart of AEW Dynamite in Pittsburgh with our guest Austin Cairnes, 880 Wrestling’s standout commentator and Point Park University student.

Austin joins Sorg and Mad Mike to share how a classroom connection turned into a dream opportunity—getting behind the mic for a Hook dark match, meeting Tony Khan, getting tips from Tony Schiavone, and seeing AEW’s backstage world firsthand.

We also cover:

• WWE’s Crown Jewel card and women’s division firepower

• Cena vs. Styles nostalgia and the state of SmackDown

• AEW Title Tuesday mayhem featuring Mercedes Moné, Okada, and Andrade

• The crossover buzz between NXT and TNA

• Launch of the new “Homework Assignment” segment: Eddie Guerrero vs. John Cena (Parking Lot Brawl 2003)

💡 What We Learned This Week:

Adam Copeland’s Emmy nomination, Carmelo Hayes’s SmackDown momentum, and why flamethrowers (and streaming logouts) made it onto Sorg’s life lessons list.
