AEW went international for Grand Slam Paris, and Tim and Dug are breaking down a Dynamite that delivered two legitimate Match of the Night contenders.
Was Kyle Fletcher vs. Darby Allin even better than Kazuchika Okada vs. Will Ospreay? The guys debate their first-ever co-Matches of the Night after two different but outstanding performances.
They also dig into AEW’s new Clockwork Carnage match and whether a match requiring “Phase One” and “Phase Two” might already be a little too complicated. Plus: Samoa Joe vs. Jack Perry, the strange direction of Perry’s current story, Jon Moxley and Gabe Kidd finding chemistry as a team, Queen Aminata’s strong showing against Mercedes Moné, Thekla continuing to get increasingly over, and Nick Wayne adding some fuel to his rivalry with Chris Jericho.
Tim and Dug also question whether Swerve Strickland and Hangman Page overshadowed Bandido vs. Kofi Kingston, and look ahead to what that could mean for WrestleDream.
Plus, the Paris crowd brings the heat, Tony Schiavone delivers an unfortunate Quote of the Night, and the Clockwork Carnage match desperately needs Orange Cassidy for reasons that should be obvious.

AEW's Tribute To PAC: Forever Our Bastard
This is not a normal episode of Elite Heat.
Following an emotional edition of AEW Dynamite honoring the life of PAC, Tim and Dug reflect on a night that was heartbreaking, beautiful, and at times almost impossible to process.
They discuss the remarkable composure of Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, Renee Paquette, Jon Moxley, Bryce Remsburg, Orange Cassidy and the rest of the AEW roster as they paid tribute to someone who clearly meant an enormous amount to the people around him.
Tim and Dug also look back at PAC’s career, from WWE and NXT to Death Triangle, the Death Riders and some of the incredible matches he gave wrestling fans throughout his career, and talk about why his greatness may sometimes have been taken for granted simply because he was so consistently excellent.
Mostly, this episode is simply our way of saying thank you.
Hold your people close.

AEW All Out 2026
Dug picked a hell of a night to go out of town, so Mike steps in alongside Tim for a full review of AEW All Out 2026 .
They start with the Heat Check before breaking down a show that lands somewhere in the B/B-plus range by AEW’s ridiculously high pay-per-view standards. Will Ospreay retains the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley, but the aftermath has Tim and Mike wondering if AEW is finally ready to pull the trigger on the long-teased Death Riders civil war. They also look ahead to what’s next for Ospreay and whether AEW should take its time with the relationship between Ospreay and Andrade.
Plus, Kazuchika Okada and Tommaso Ciampa deliver a Match of the Night contender, the Young Bucks reclaim the AEW World Tag Team Championships in the not-TLC TLC match, and Swerve Strickland and The New Level battle Hangman Page and Brodido in an outstanding Trios Championship match. Andrade vs. PAC, the scary ending to Steven Borden and Darby Allin vs. Proto Jet, Persephone vs. Dani Luna, the Brawling Birds and Divine Dominion getting violent, Willow Nightingale vs. Thekla, a Wardlow sighting, the greatness of Coach Juice, and the sprint toward WrestleDream.
