This week on Dammit Vacant: AEW Dynasty is in the books and we review the PPV, including some surprising results, and the prospect of Darby Allin as the next champion Mercedes is no no belts Mone, there are further disturbing updates in the Janal Grant case and more in the news. #AEW #Wrestling #AEWdynasty #Omega #MJF #AEWDynamite #AEWCollision

This week, things go completely off the rails. We kick off with technical issues, low energy, and a mild existential crisis before spiralling into strange charity shop vinyl finds, disappointing exhibitions with no gift shop, questionable purchases, gaming frustrations, and driving lesson chaos. Then the tone shifts as we dive into wrestling talk—covering a shocking fan incident at an indie show, the boundaries of fan behaviour, and the latest news, rumours, and updates from AEW and WWE—plus an unexpected detour into Street Fighter films. We also break down AEW Dynamite and Collision, including Omega vs Swerve, MJF’s current run, match highlights, bold takes, and plenty of nonsense along the way. Unfiltered, unfocused, and full of tangents—just how it should be.
