PLAY BY PLAY
It’s the Double or Nothing Pre-Show!
The sun is shining now, but things are going to get dark tonight as the sun will set on either The Elite or the Inner Circle. Not to mention, there will be only ONE AEW TNT Champion! Cody Rhodes and Lance Archer have made this so personal, that we need to hear from Brandi herself on what’s led to this. History is being made tonight and it is so important on so many different levels. What is Cody’s mind set going into this match that is both for title and for honor? Cody is more focused than ever before. His mind is only on winning the title. He doesn’t want this, he needs this. Brandi is not worried at all, and is keeping herself out of the equation. She will not be a distraction, or an opening since Jake the “Antiquated” Snake can only speak down to women. But that card is off the table without Brandi ringside. Jake and Archer will have no choice but to play fair and try to win. Arn Anderson will be there for Cody, so “good luck” to the Murderhawk Monster.
But with how personal this has all gotten, is Cody really focused on winning? Or does he want revenge. Cody is focused where he needs to be focused. Brandi is no damsel in distress. She was not intimidated by Jake’s snake, either. There is only ever one “first,” and this will only add to the legacy. Brandi knows she’s an easy target, but she’ll let it slide for now. The real revenge is when Cody wins, Brandi steps over Archer and sneers at Jake. A class act for sure. Will Mr. & Mrs. American Nightmare be celebrating history in the making?
Backstage interview with Billy Gunn!
Papa Gunn likes the energy in his introduction. The Casino Ladder Match has ladders, right? Do they know how many ladder matches Billy’s been in? One. Just one. But! It was epic. The greatest ladder match of all time, other than tonight’s. But a field of nine, and the ninth is a mystery! But Gunn has a good idea who it is. Who? Wait. He doesn’t mean…? That guy? Yes, there is a one in a million chance that Gunn himself is Mr. Ninth! If every other working wrestler isn’t in it, it’ll be him. Well what great news. But then plot twist! The Gunn Club won’t be part of this, they’re going to be the #1 fans in the crowd. Maybe. But speaking to the experience of the known entrants, Joey Janela is completely crazy. There’s Darby Allin, Luchasaurus, Kip Sabian, Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky. Is size an advantage? Is being crazy an advantage? Not to ladders. It’s about toughing it out.
Then, who is the toughest? That’s tough, because Janela and Kaz are tied for most ladder matches in a career. Why put that stat out there? Gunn was smart enough to have just one! And then there’s Colt Cabana, who has the most experience overall. That still won’t be an advantage, because if he gets hit with a ladder, he’s just out. Maybe you get thrown off the ladder and then you’re done. It doesn’t matter how big you are, how crazy you are, how experienced you are, how much time you’ve spent at a Walmart, this is risky stuff. It’s just about chances, because it’s Double or Nothing. Clever! Any other cliches? Nope, Gunn is out. Well, one way or another, whether Gunn is in the match or not, we’ll see him. And if you’re not down with that, well, y’know.
Tony Schiavone interviews Jake the Snake and Lance Archer.
Archer finishes up a pre-match work-out. Schiavone asks if Archer is ready, and Jake says they should ask him. “How you feeling there, big man?” Wanna get mean tonight? Wanna introduce Cody Rhodes to the real world? Archer uses a sledgehammer to SMASH an old toilet, some sheet rock and more. Well that definitely means Archer is ready. “You have no idea, Cody. You have no idea.” Will the American Nightmare’s desire to become champion be his downfall?

The hot streak is still hot! Trent and Chuckie are heading for the tag titles! But what shape will Kenny Omega and Hangman Page be after tonight’s Stadium Stampede?
Tony Schiavone interviews Arn Anderson.
The Enforcer and coach of Cody Rhodes knows what they’re up against in Lance Archer, with Jake The Snake by his side. We saw Archer is ready because he broke a toilet? Toilets don’t hit back, but Cody does. Arn is going to throw out a “wish list” of things that might happen. Jake could DDT Arn. Arn could DDT or Spine Buster Jake. Mike Tyson could knock Jake and/or Arn out! Who’s gonna stop him? Free reign means exactly that. Things could get hairy outside the ring, but the title match is decide din the ring.
Looking at the strength, size and momentum for Archer, he is a clear favorite. Nothing Cody does will matter. But then you’d forget about guts, determination and tenacity, all leadership qualities. Dusty’s legacy lives on forever through Cody, but Cody’s legacy starts tonight! Cody has vowed to win the big win, and Arn does not doubt it. Will all this come to pass with the newest AEW championship on the line?
As the world slowly but surely begins to rise, AEW gives thanks.
This is a special thank you to the first responders on the front line. Heroes like them give us all hope, confidence, and the power to persevere. When we all come together, no matter what life brings, we can overcome anything. But while history stands still, this company writes history! The last year has certainly seen change, sacrifice, and tough decisions. But for those who found peace over panic, and faith over fear, anything is possible. Tonight, we are all essential. Tonight, we are all putting in the work. “We are not giving up, no matter what. And neither are you.” Who is ready to step up? Who is ready to step forward? And who is ready to define the treasure they’ve all been looking for? Why does tonight matter? Why does one come to AEW? It’s time to stop worrying, and time to start believing. “There will be a hailstorm of violence!” This is Double or Nothing 2. “Welcome to the show.”
Double or Nothing Casino Ladder Match!
AEW continues to innovate and experiment while giving their stars opportunities to shine! Nine men want to be the next #1 contender, but will this match even last that long? Who gets the most prized chip in all of All Elite Wrestling?

The bell rings and the countdown starts. SCU shakes hands, then heads for ladders! They each bring one in, and they see great minds think alike.

Santana runs in, but Hardy back drops him onto Ortiz and through the table! That table is BROKEN~! Hardy brings Ortiz to the bell, and rings it! Ortiz spasms from the sound ringing in his ears.

It distracts Sammy for the V-TRIGGER! Omega drags Sammy up into the Electric Chair, SUPER ONE-WINGED ANGEL THROUGH BOXES BELOW!! Cover, The Elite wins!!
Winner: The Elite, by pinfall
The most INSANE One-Winged Angel in history brings victory for Omega, Hardy, Hangman and the Bucks! And of course, the Gatorade bath tops it off! Has The Elite finally reunited thanks to this? Have they finally put an end to the Inner Circle?
My Thoughts:
What a wild and incredible night! The Buy-In match was a bit sloppy at parts, but I’ve said for AEW Dark that Private Party just needs to work on ring rust. Their style is so fast that it’s hard even for them to do things smoothly with all the time off. But in the end, Best Friends wins because they’ve been the team going strongest longest, and have already had interactions with Omega during this time. Seeing Best Friends take on Omega & Hangman will be a great story for the next phase of the year. The Casino Ladder Match was wild but scary. I really thought Darby hurt himself there, but I don’t think anyone was injured. Brian Cage coming to AEW is huge! And in the context of Taz trying to get Darby to join up, Taz now working with Cage is a rather interesting twist. Cage winning big right out of the gates is itself big, and this is going to be another pretty wild development for AEW’s next phase.
MJF VS Jungle Boy was above my expectations, and both guys are the future of wrestling overall, not just AEW. The Poison-Rana to the apron was definitely risky, though. I was surprised MJF won, which shows how good they made JB look tonight. At this point, JB and MJF should have a third match at some point, and that is when JB not only gets one over on MJF, but MJF finally loses a singles match. The TNT Championship match was really good, but I’m surprised they gave this to Cody. I suppose after everything Jake the Snake and Archer have done, this was their comeuppance, but something about it seemed like it should’ve still been Archer’s to win. That and how Arn and Jake didn’t fight and Tyson didn’t get to deck anyone kinda disappoints, but now the story can be about Cody desperately trying to keep this title. And apparently the belt really is unfinished, so maybe even that plays into the story.
Ford and Statlander have a solid match, and I’m sure Britt would’ve had just as good of a match. Statlander winning surely means she’s moving up for another title match. Speaking of, I loved the No Holds Barred match for Nyla and Shida. They has more to work with than the Moxley VS Hager No Holds Barred match just on props so that helped out. I may have doubted it before, but it’s great for Shida to win. This really freshens things up for the Women’s Division, and at some point, I’m sure we’re going to get Shida VS Britt to finally have that story play out. Dustin VS Spears was an okay match but a very hilarious one. Spears gets embarrassed repeatedly and Dustin wins, so I’m hoping this isn’t the end of things. Maybe Spears finally gets a tag team partner and they both go after Dustin and QT Marshall, The Natural Nightmares.
Moxley VS Brodie for the world title was really good, but no surprise that Moxley retains. That crash through the ramp was a surprise, though! The match was a big credit for Brodie’s toughness and it is quite the shift for Moxley to win with a submission, not his Paradigm Shift/Death Rider. Moxley and Cage does make for an interesting rivalry, but I feel like the contender chip being for a future title shot, not an immediate one, could mean Cage and Taz “discuss” when they want after Moxley. This shouldn’t be an Money in the Bank thing where it can be after a brutal match Moxley survives, but it can be something where Moxley has to survive until a certain PPV, much like how Jericho tried to keep Moxley from making it to Revolution.
Then there’s the Stadium Stampede. That was just the absolute best thing AEW has done yet. Blood & Guts was surely the original plans for a payoff, The Elite and Inner Circle did so much in TIAA Bank Field that this is a far superior move. There was just so much, especially on the story side of things. I loved the pool of reincarnation, that Hangman had a horse, that Sammy ran from the horse and the golf cart, that there was a bar brawl, that the goal post was involved, that there were football jokes like the red challenge flag and yellow penalty flag, and of course the ending. I am pleasantly surprised that The Elite won after standing tall on Dynamite, and it really makes me wonder what’s next. Blood & Guts can still involve The Elite, but I feel like a new or different Heel group needs to rise up to take them on. Or vice-versa, have the Inner Circle try to rise up and another Face group stands in their way. Either way, Inner Circle and Elite should do different things for a time after this.
My Score: 9.6/10

It’s the Double or Nothing Buy-In!
Join Renee Paquette, Paul “Big Show” Wight, Stokely Hathaway and Kazeem Famuyide in discussing, analyzing and predicting everything tonight on this high stakes night for AEW! Oh, and RJ City is backstage on the red carpet.
Jim Ross interviews Don Callis.
Watch the full version here. Good ol’ JR asked Don, “How do you want this whole saga to conclude?” Don says he has done the hardest thing that a parent or family member could do. It was a cancer eating away with him, and what do you do with a cancer? You cut it out. And Don wants Kenny Omega to know, he hasn’t even started cutting yet. What more can Don possibly do to Kenny Omega after betraying him?
RJ City interviews Arn Anderson.
RJ is intimidated by The Enforcer, and he asks that in tonight’s TNT Championship match, Wardlow’s title will be hanging from the rafters because he got goaded into a ladder match. It feels like they’re playing into Christian Cage’s hands, what is the plan to win? Arn asks, “What makes you think anybody got goaded into their hands?” Arn reminds us that he and Wardlow are playing chess to Christian’s checkers, and they were the ones goading Christian into a match. Does RJ know how heavy a 10 foot ladder is? Arn sure doesn’t see Christian carrying one around much. But he does see Wardlow having yet to unleash what we’re about to see tonight, “in a town that’s up all night long.”
This isn’t them playing around, they’re getting down to business. And Wardlow’s going off tonight. RJ asks Arn if he’s packing heat tonight. Arn chuckles. Ask your mama. “My new step-father, Arn Anderson. Back to you, Renee.” Will the Maestro of Mayhem conduct the most memorable Powerbomb Symphony of all time?

Maybe we should have our fedoras. Tony Khan walks out in such a fedora, with the Owen Hart Foundation logo on it. And Martha says this is not wrapping here but kicking off in Canada! And this will round up in Calgary at “the greatest outdoor show on earth,” the Calgary Stampede, July 15th! Make sure to bring your cowboy hats, pardners!

AEW Women’s World Championship: Jamie Hayter VS Toni Storm!
A tale as old as time in pro-wrestling: two best friends are torn apart by success, ambition, jealousy and pride. The two were at odds even before Hayter defeated Storm to become champion, and things have only escalated from there. Will Hayter have to hit Storm even harder to end this? Or will being an Outcast be exactly what Storm needs to strike Hayter down?

Storm grinds the arm, Saraya pulls off a buckle pad, and Storm stomps the arm. Fans rally for Hayter but Storm stomps her. The pad is off, but here comes Britt! Didn’t Saraya think this would happen again?! Britt fires off on Saraya but Storm CHOKES Hayter!
The ref reprimands Storm, she lets off, but then the ref argues with Soho about the buckle pad. Storm whips, Hayter reverses, and Storm goes into the ref and Soho!

But of course, Platinum Max has a diss track! “Acclaimed in the house, we the nicest ever. This is not a game, this is not Fight Forever. Rush, you’re losing your cred.

Ethan isn’t done, either, he wants a mic! A mic is given, and Ethan says he wants to talk to the “bozos” in Vegas. “Shut up, you basic ass civilians.” Ethan doesn’t care if anyone here was watching, he wants The Hardy Boyz to have been watching. Because if so, they just saw what a REAL three man crew, a REAL trio, can do! A REAL team! And on Sunday, guess we won’t find out what the Hardy Party can do because these three took out Kassidy! FOR GOOD! So it is clearly going to be 3v2 now. But wait, here come the Hardy Boys! Fans fire up as Matt & Jeff are on stage, and Jeff has a mic of his own!
Jeff says, “The Ass Boys are looking good out here on Rampage with a boost of ego. This Sunday, the Egos will be DELETED, compliments of us.” Matt tells Ethan that his contract and his ass will belong to Matt now! If they have to fight 3v2, they’re not afraid to. Because to them, fear is only a four letter word. Wait, Kassidy is here with a neck brace? Ethan mocks them to come on down, and Austin mocks the moaning and squealing. Kassidy says unfortunately, the doctor did not clear him to compete. However… He found a replacement. It’s HOOK!! The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil did help Hardy Party in the Firm Deletion, so he has returned to help them again!
Fans fire up as Hook follows the Hardy Boys to the ring, and that sends Ethan & The Gunns running! Will the remnants of The Firm be torn down once and for all now that Kassidy has #SentHook?
Backstage interview with Naturally Limitless.
Lexi Nair is with Keith Lee & Dustin Rhodes, and we all know things have been heating up between them and the now Mogul Embassy. It has just been announced that Swerve Strickland and Brian Cage are both in the Blackjack Battle Royal, as are they. What does that mean for them? Imagine that, huh? Swerve and Cage in a battle royal. So after Keith & Dustin eliminate them, because this is all for the International Championship, then Keith & Dustin can just eliminate everyone else and then make a decision on who wins it all. Dustin is confident he and Keith can come to an agreement.
But Swerve and Cage, you know it’s heated. You know it’s coming. Be ready. Keith adds that if the Embassy is in this, then he can’t wait! Keith heads out, and Dustin hopes Swerve saw that. Will nothing stop Keith & Dustin settling things with Swerve’s House this Sunday?

While The Doctor & The Full Metal Warrior couldn’t put away the Outcasts, they are sticking together in this ongoing battle of AEW Homegrowns and everyone else.

Mark Henry welcomes us back to Rampage.
“Tonight, ahead of the Blackjack Battle Royal, Lee Moriarty & Big Bill take on Best Friends. Let’s see which team comes out on top. Well, it looks like there’s been enough talk. It’s TIME for the main event!” Will Trent Beretta & Chuck Taylor have the hot hand going into the International Championship match? Or will #TAIGASTYLE and the human skyscraper make bust them already?
Best Friends VS Lee Moriarty & “Big Bill” Morrissey!
As Best Friends make their entrance, we see their best amigos, Bandido, Komander and even The Lucha Brothers all watching from the front row. They’re all going to be in the battle royal, too, and well, look at that. It would seem The Superbad Squad and the Varsity Athletes had the same idea. They’re all together in one section watching this in person, too.
Anyway, the teams sort out and Moriarty starts against Chuck. They circle, Chuck does some drop steps, and then the two tie up. Chuck waistlocks, wrenches an arm, then wristlocks. Moriarty works on the escape, but Chuck cranks the wrist. Moriarty stomps a leg, rolls and kips up to then arm-drag free. Chuck backs off and Moriarty does his dance. Fans boo but Bill cheers. Trent tags in and he circles with Moriarty. They tie up, Moriarty gets around to a waistlock but Trent switches. Moriarty switches back, Trent switches again, but Moriarty elbows free and hits a headlock takeover.
Trent headscissors, Moriarty kips free and hits another headlock takeover. Trent headscissors again, Moriarty kips free again, and fans cheer the standoff. Moriarty does his dance and fans boo again. Moriarty claps at Trent, but Trent offers a handshake. Moriarty accepts, but he sees the cheap shot coming! Trent laughs it off, but Moriarty rakes the eyes! Moriarty CHOPS Trent to ropes, whips him, but Trent reverses. Chuck hits Moriarty, but Moriarty DECKS him! But then Trent CLOBBERS Moriarty! Fans fire up with Trent and he brings Moriarty up. Trent CHOPS Moriarty down, then tags Chuck.
Best Friends double whip Moriarty to a corner, then Trent sends Chuck in to clothesline! Trent runs in to ELBOW! Trent brings Moriarty out, Best Friends double suplex! They both flex on Morrissey, then SLAM Moriarty down! Fans cheer but Big Bill runs in! He breaks the double clothesline to DOUBLE LARIAT the Best Friends! Bill clotheslines Chuck out, then he whips Trent corner to corner hard! Trent tumbles up and out and Bill paces. Best Friends are down while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Bill goes out to stomp Trent around, then stalks Trent. Bill rains down fists on Trent, but Chuck is after Moriarty! Chuck whips but Moriarty reverses to send Chuck into railing! Bill drags Trent up, ROCKS him, and Moriarty puts Chuck in the ring. Moriarty drags Chuck up, UPPERCUTS him, and then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Moriarty lets off, and he distracts the ref so Bill can BOOT Chuck down! Moriarty covers, TWO! Moriarty drags Chuck up, the Varsity Athletes and Superbad Squad aren’t impressed with any of this, but Bill tags in. Bill throws body shots, the Lucha Brothers cheer Chuck on.
Bill digs his boot in, but steps off as the ref counts, and Moriarty CHOKES Chuck now! Trent protests but Moriarty scurries away. Bill soaks up the heat from Vegas, then he DECKS Chuck! Bill drags Chuck up, ROCKS him again, then tags in Moriarty. They mug Chuck, stomp away on him, and the ref counts. Moriarty lets off and roars, then goes back to Chuck. Moriarty drags Chuck up to wrench an arm into an ELBOW BREAKER! Moriarty snapmares Chuck, wraps him up, but Chuck fights the straitjacket. Moriarty turns Chuck over and hammerlocks an arm, to then SNAP LOCK it!
Chuck endures, even as Moriarty bridges over! Moriarty then goes back around to SNAP LOCK the arm again! Chuck endures, Moriarty bridges again, and then SNAP LOCKS a third time! Chuck manages to sit up, he throws some elbows, and he gets free! Only for Moriarty to DECK Trent with a cheap shot! Moriarty CLUBS Chuck, brings him around and tosses him out! The ref is distracted with Moriarty and Bill goes over to run at Chuck. But Chuck dodges, and the big boot from Big Bill gets stuck on the railing! That’s not good for Little Willie! Rampage returns to single picture and Moriarty rushes out! Chuck dodges and slides in, to hot tag Trent!
Fans fire up as Trent gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX Moriarty! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! And HALF ‘N’ HALF SUPLEX! Fans fire up while Moriarty flops out of the ring. Trent builds speed to DIVE, but into Big Bill’s big hands! APRON CHOKE SLAM!! The Lucha Amigos all wince from that and Trent flops to the floor. Bill drags Trent up, puts him in the ring, and then he tags in. Bill runs in at Trent, but Trent dodges the splash! Bill hits buckles and maybe even post! Trent half nelsons but Bill elbows free, only to get a SEXY CHUCKIE KNEE! Trent then reels Bill back in, SOLE FOOD HALF ‘N’ HALF!!
Fans fire up with Best Friends, and Best Friends HUG! You GOT to give the people what they want! Trent then drags Bill up while Chuck climbs the corner. But Moriarty CLUBS Chuck down off the corner! Bill turns Alabama Lift into Canadian Rack, but Trent slips free! Trent runs, but into the BIG BOSS MAN SLAM!! Fans fire up from that feat of strength, and Bill tags Moriarty. They haul Trent up, Bill full nelsons and Moriarty gets the legs, NARAKU!! Cover off the full nelson swinging bomb, but Chuck breaks it!! Fans fire up as Best Friends survive! Moriarty drags Chuck up to TOSS him! Tag to Bill and they go back to Trent.
Moriarty wants Bill to go to the corner and Bill climbs up. Moriarty brings Trent up, but Chuck anchors Bill! Trent sends Moriarty into Little Willie! Moriarty flops out of the ring, and Best Friends fire off hands on Bill! They adjust Bill’s position up there, then climb up after him! DOUBLE SUPERPLEX!! Trent crawls to the cover, TWO!!! Bill survives and the Varsity Athletes are amused. The Lucha Amigos rally for Trent & Chuck as Chuck reels Bill in. But Moriarty slides in to claw Chuck’s eyes! The ref reprimands but Trent whips Moriarty. Moriarty reverses to send Trent out and then BOOT him down!
But Chuck kicks Moriarty and reels him in! AWFUL WAFFLE!! But Bill BOOTS Chuck!! Bill choke grips, and SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAMS him!! Cover, Bill & Moriarty win!
Winners: Lee Moriarty & “Big Bill” Morrissey, by pinfall
Moriarty & Morrissey stand tall, but this was in tag team action. The battle royal is every man for himself, will it come down to these two at the end? Wait, they go up to the Lucha Amigos to talk some trash, and Bandido gives thumbs down right to their faces. Bill shoves Bandido, so Bandido throws a forearm! Moriarty goes after Bandido, the Lucha Brothers go after Moriarty and Bill! And then Butcher, Blade, Kip, and the Varsity Athletes join in! People are sent into railing, and the Varsity Athletes mug Trent in the ring! Sterling tells them to keep going, but here comes ORANGE CASSIDY himself!
The Freshly Squeezed International Champion is here, he runs the Varsity Athletes off swinging his backpack, but the other entrants are still brawling it out on the outside! Cassidy shows off the prize, but here comes THE MACHINE! Brian Cage storms his way down to the ring, but here comes KEITH LEE! He and Dustin Rhodes storm their way down to the ring, and they add a lot of beef to the brawl! Naturally Limitless mugs Cage, the Varsity Athletes still mug Trent, and Cassidy just looks around at the chaos. But then “Whose House? SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve is here in person, but he doesn’t seem in any rush to save Cage.
Keith eyes Swerve from the ramp, but Dustin still throws hands on Cage. Keith storms up after Swerve, but Swerve laughs and dares him to follow backstage. Cage turns things around on Dustin, all the other teams keep beating on each other! If this is how it is to close Rampage, how much wilder will it get when the title is on the line?
My Thoughts:
A really good Rampage for the go-home of Double or Nothing, and obviously since we didn’t see the traditional pre-battle-royal brawl on Dynamite, of course we saw it here to close the show. The main event tag match was great stuff, and what a great surprise that Best Friends didn’t win! The go-home math now says Moriarty & Morrissey aren’t winning, though I would love if one of them did have a belt. Honestly, they’re trying to make it seem like Cassidy is going to retain the title, since almost everyone else in the battle royal either A) has a feud going already or B) just isn’t at midcard champion level yet.
For example, Swerve & Cage VS Keith & Dustin. We should’ve had some kind of blowoff way sooner than this, maybe on a themed Dynamite and in a No Disqualification style match. Same thing for Ricky Starks, Jay White and Juice Robinson being in this match. But that problem goes all the way back to how AEW handled Starks VS Jericho and the Jericho Appreciation Society. In the end, if anyone new is winning this belt, I would actually want it to be Komander. Komander is still with AAA, so I would love to see him do a tour of Mexico with the title the same way Pac toured the UK with it to establish that first reign.
Decent squash match from Ethan & Gunns beating those jobbers we never even got the names of, and great promo with Hardy Party to establish a new take on the Six Man Tag. Hook joining is a natural choice given he helped the Hardys against The Firm before, but something about this feels like the same backwards pacing as we’ve seen with Starks. The Hardys should’ve turned the contract control tables on Ethan way before The Firm Deletion, with The Firm Deletion being the blowoff that sends the Hardys and Ethan in different directions. Hook & Hardys will definitely win, and we will get who knows how many months of shenanigans where Matt orders Ethan around.
Really good women’s tag match with Britt & Shida winning, even though there’s nothing to win for women’s tag teams in AEW anymore/right now. But of course The Outcasts attack Hayter 3v1 to put her on the defensive. This go-home math would mean Hayter overcomes the odds because she has Britt & Shida helping against Saraya & Ruby. Personally, I’m hoping Taya Valkyrie beats Jade Cargill for the TBS Championship, so that Jade can then jump up to the world title scene and really just tear into all six ladies. What bigger way to lead into AEW Collision, AEW All In and AEW All Out this Summer than with Jade finally being more than the midcard champion?
And great stuff at the beginning with The Acclaimed VS LFI. I just knew Acclaimed would find a way to win and then call out The House of Black. Apparently House of Black issued an open challenge for Double or Nothing, so The Acclaimed has answered it already. I am curious to know what stipulation The Acclaimed will bring to the Open House, but I really can’t be sure who wins. The House of Black have made the Trios Championships unique from the other titles, and have a growing popularity with the fans, but The Acclaimed are also really popular. This is like how AEW booked themselves into a corner with Hobbs VS Wardlow, and look where that’s gotten Hobbs.
My Score: 8.7/10
