AEW’s Summer Blockbuster is loaded with big matches, but is it too much of a good thing?

All Elite Wrestling has unveiled its Summer Blockbuster event, a four-hour spectacle packed with six matches and a high-stakes contract signing. The show, airing on June 11, 2024, is headlined by a dream match between Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland, but the real buzz surrounds the contract signing for Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada’s title vs. title clash at All In. The card is stacked with talent, from MJF and Bobby Lashley’s faction to rising stars like Speedball Mike Bailey and Komander. But with so much crammed into one night, some fans are questioning whether AEW is overloading the show at the expense of storytelling.

The Summer Blockbuster also features a non-title match between Toni Storm and Julia Hart, with Mercedes Mone watching from ringside, hinting at future drama. Meanwhile, Thekla, fresh off her debut win, faces Queen Aminata, and CMLL’s Mistico makes an appearance. The sheer volume of matches and angles has some fans excited, while others worry it’s a symptom of AEW’s tendency to cram too much into a single show. With the wrestling world still buzzing from the recent Fyter Fest, this event could either solidify AEW’s summer momentum or leave fans feeling overwhelmed.
