12 Man Tag: FTR & The Elite VS The Dark Order!

Dynamite is starting off big already! Things were explosive between FTR and The Elite as Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood took offense at Kenny Omega pouring out beer, to then pour beer back on Omega. But it seems Hangman Page won FTR over as drinking buddies and now they’re both ready to take on Mr. Brodie Lee and his legion of minions, and Colt Cabana. Is tonight the night Cabana truly joins Dark Order? Or will it be the team that is “totally all getting along” that wins this 6v6 tag war?

The large teams sort out, and the Exalted One starts with Nick Jackson. They tie up, Brodie shoves Nick to the corner but Nick dodges. Brodie tumbles up and out to deck Nick, but Nick avoids the slingshot senton! Nick goes up and leaps but Brodie gets under. Nick comes back but into Brodie’s pop-up!

Dax stomps the bad arm over and over then drags Nine back up. Dax wrenches, tags in Hangman and Hangman goes up to drop ax handles. Hangman wrenches to tag in Omega and Omega springboard ax handles the arm! Nine’s arm is about to fall off at this point! Omega and Hangman double whip Nine to kick and kick and then boot and Kotaro Krusher! Standing Shooting Star! Cover, but Evil Uno and Stu Grayson break it up!

There is truly strength in numbers! FTR took themselves out with their own move, and Mr. Brodie took full advantage. Brodie says Hangman should’ve joined them, will it happen in the end? Or will it just be the end of The Elite once and for all?

 

Best Friends arrive at Daily’s Place.

They borrowed the fan from Trent’s mom again. They made sure to park it somewhere safe for her sake. But will their match with Santana and Ortiz be anything but safe?

 

AEW hears from Jon Moxley.

“When I was younger, I’m not ashamed to say that I struggled with a lot of demons.” Early in his career, he’d go to the ring like he was wrestling ghosts. The people who cared about him would try to talk him out of stuff. “Don’t fight that guy. Don’t do that death match. Don’t do this or that, cut it out.” But looking back, in some cases, Moxley wishes he’d listened, because he paid the price. But in others, he wouldn’t change a thing. Moxley gets why Darby Allin pointed at the belt. He gets why Darby wants to challenge Moxley for that belt. Moxley understands where he’s coming from and what he’s trying to do.

But in an ironic twist, Moxley is now the advocate, the voice of reason, the person concerned for someone else’s health. Because Moxley knows Darby will come after him again and again and will not stop until he can’t move. It will never cross Darby’s mind even once that last time, Moxley almost broke Darby’s neck. It weighs heavily on Moxley. Moxley doesn’t want his resume to read, “The guy who ended Darby Allin’s bright career,” because Darby is Moxley’s favorite here in AEW. But the title is on the line. When you sign the contract, you make yourself the same as everyone else. Moxley’s gotta do what he’s gotta do. He won’t try to talk Darby out of this, but he does ask Darby please understand, “that when it’s time to stay down, just stay down.” Though, Moxley knows Darby isn’t going to listen, because Moxley wouldn’t. Will Darby stay down?

 

Proud ‘n’ Powerful VS Best Friends!

They snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! The #2 tag team is rising up again, will they be #1 contenders soon enough?

 

MJF gives us his contention update.

“AEW faithful, we are currently live at MJF campaign headquarters, and I am so excited to show you where the magic happens.” Wardlow opens the door and MJF walks in, greeted by the applause of his campaign staff. MJF thanks them and calls on “cue ball.” MJF is given his stick of gum, but ugh gross, that is not a good flavor, that man is fired. Moving on, MJF’s team are making and shipping posters and pins all across the world. And… Wait a minute. NINA! Yes, sir? Who hung that poster up? The MJF “We Deserve Better” in black ‘n’ white? It was Lee Johnson, sir. Lee is busy picking out the green M&M’s, by the way.

Oh? It was Lee?! Well, Lee, do you know what “level” means? Yes… Well, Lee, does that poster look level? “I dunno…” You don’t? Maybe if your LEVEL TOOL wasn’t on the ground, he’d know! MJF slaps the level against the poster and asks again: Does it look level? No… Well that aside, MJF asks Nina how they’re doing in the polls. But she needs to smile or not talk at all! Nina smiles big as she says they are leading. The poll shows MJF has 100% of the votes at 51,475,896, and somehow that means Moxley is at a negative 88%. “Epic.” Now, MJF is sure others would be taking a victory lap, but not him. Just because Tony Khan authorized MJF’s match for All Out does not mean they slow down. The campaign is not over until the title is around his waist! Why? Because #WeDeserveBetter. “Yes, we do.”

But what if Darby wins tonight? Oh, that 125 pound emo? That would suck to wrestle him for the title. #Sarcasm. MJF winks as he takes his leave, but what if that scenario does come true? Also, is that poll even real?

 

Matt Hardy is in the ring.

The crowd cheers as Hardy has a mic. “When I made the decision to come to AEW, it’s because I wanted to come somewhere where I would feel respected. I wanted to wrestle somewhere, work somewhere, where I felt like I had a say in the direction that my career was going to go.” And to be honest, Hardy came here, saw the incredibly talented roster of both men and women, a lot sitting at ringside right now, and Hardy thought about being an attraction. Hardy could introduce the world to the MULTIVERSE of Matt Hardy! A celebration of his career, The Best of Hardy and all his personas. He’s had a blast and so have the fans.

But Hardy listens to his audience, and AEW in general does, too. The majority that is watching Dynamite every single week, they want to see Hardy be Hardy, “the man who is stronger than death!” That is what Hardy will do onscreen. Off-screen, Hardy will continue to give back. There are two guys in particular that remind him of the Hardy Boyz, and that’s Private Party. Those two have passion, athleticism. If they ever need anything, he has their back. Another man he tries to help is Sammy Guevara. Sammy didn’t want his help, which is to get away from Inner Circle to stop being Chris Jericho’s underling. As a matter of fact, the first time Hardy showed up, Sammy snuck out from under the ring and attacked him! So seeing Sammy’s return, Hardy returned the favor!

Sammy gave Hardy the middle finger, so to say, and so Hardy will no longer try to help Sammy. But speaking of that sneak attack, Sammy slides out from under the ring now! Sammy slithers up behind Hardy but Hardy knew he’d come! And they brawl! Sammy powers Hardy to a corner but Hardy still hits back! Hardy whips and clotheslines Sammy out! But Sammy drags Hardy out and they keep brawling! Hardy throws Sammy into the railing! Then over the timekeeper’s table! Hardy drags Sammy back out, scoops him and then slams him through the table! Hardy isn’t done, he brings out a much bigger table over! Hardy sets the table up, drags Sammy over, but Sammy fights back! Sammy denies the Twist of Fate to POST Hardy!

Sammy clubs Hardy onto the table with elbow after elbow, but Hardy hits back! Sammy bumps into a camera man, but tosses a chair at Hardy’s head!! Direct hit! Hardy is in a daze, Sammy clubs him more, then Sammy goes to the stage. Hardy’s head is bleeding onto the wood as Sammy 630 SENTONS through him and table!! Hardy says he cannot die, but has the Spanish God just proven otherwise?!

 

AEW hears news of something happening backstage!

“You wanna see some real sh*t?!” Proud ‘n’ Powerful found the van! Santana takes a MAD BALL to the windows! Ortiz uses a SLEDGE HAMMER on the headlights! He isn’t trying hard enough, so Santana takes the hammer to SMASH the windshield! Ortiz gets the hammer back to SMASH a rear view mirror and the passenger side windows! Then the rear lights! And the rear windshield! Santana takes the hammer back to finish off the front! “You think we a joke?!” They spray paint the hood with “SUE” and then an X through it! “Tell your moms, we say what’s good.” Will Best Friends get revenge for that? Does Sue at least have insurance?

 

Cody Rhodes & Matt Cardona VS The Dark Order’s Numbers 3 & 4!

#StrongIsland is #AlwaysReady, and he was ready to back up his old pal in the American Nightmare up against John Silver & Alex Reynolds. Now, the Beaver Boys must take on the AEW TNT Champion and AEW’s newest signee fair and square! Will Cody and Cardona get even with the Numbers?

The teams sort out and Silver starts with Cody. They circle, tie up, and Cody gets a leg. Silver fights the takedown and they end up in a corner. Cody lets up but Silver shoves him. Cody shoves and Silver shoves again, so Cody kicks low and drops down for the uppercut! Silver wobbles into Cody’s suplex, and Cody holds Silver up for a count of 10 before hitting a gourd buster! Cover, TWO, but Cody keeps Silver with a wrench to wristlock. Tag to Cardona and Cody feeds Silver to forearms! Cardona bumps Silver off buckles, pushes him to ropes and whips him across the way. Silver kicks back, runs but into a FLAPJACK! Cover, TWO!

Cardona drags Silver up but Silver fires off kicks! Tag to Reynolds and he suplexes Cardona, only for it to turn into Cardona’s neckbreaker! Cover, TWO! Cardona keeps his cool as he drags Reynolds up and wrenches. Tag to Cody, he climbs up to drop ax handles on the arm. Cody wrenches Reynolds’ arm again, whips but Reynolds reverses. Cody sees Silver’s sucker punch coming so he slides under, onto to clip the post! Silver drags Cody up while Cardona protests and Silver RAMS Cody into the apron! Silver feeds Cody to Reynolds in the ring, but Cody still BOOTS back! Cody punches but Reynolds whips him away. Cody ends up on the apron, elbows Silver away and forearms Reynolds. Silver sweeps the legs and Cody lands hard! Reynolds slingshot stomps Cody down!

Reynolds puts Cody in, tags in Silver, and they drop elbow after elbow on Cody’s ribs! They just keep dropping them until the ref counts on Reynolds. Reynolds bails out, Silver covers, TWO! Silver stalks Cody to a corner but Cody pushes him away. Silver stomps and throws heavy body shots! Silver KICKS Cody in the stomach, tags in Reynolds, and they bend Cody back against buckles.

A huge debut for the newest addition to the roster! Will Cardona rise up the ranks and become a top player? Woo woo woo, you know it! As for Cody, he spots someone waiting for him at the entryway. It’s Scorpio Sky! As of last night’s AEW Dark, Scorpio put management and champions on notice. Scorpio stares Cody down, eyes the AEW TNT Championship, and taps it. Will the American Nightmare give Scorpio his shot to #ReachForTheSky?

 

Best Friends return to the van!

It seems there was even more graffiti added to it, with “THE BEST” and a few other things sprayed on the side. And now it’s on cinder blocks because the tires were taken! Chuck says “Not only did you destroy my friend’s mom’s van, but you made a liar out of me.” Chuck promised Mama Sue that he would take care of the van and keep it safe. Trent says PNP can do whatever they want to him and Chuck. Throw chairs, hit them with those socks, whatever. “But you do NOT touch my mom’s van! You cowards!” If they wanted a rematch, just ask. Best Friends did it once, they’ll gladly do it again. And when it happens, PNP will personally apologize to Trent’s mom via speakerphone. Will the van be avenged?

 

Sammy Guevara returns to ringside!

The Spanish God already devastated Matt Hardy, but now he’s got his cue cards back! That’s because he knows AEW is going picture in picture! “Hey, Orange! Like Matt Hardy VS The Inner Circle…” Sammy mocks all the blood spouting from Hardy’s head. “You’re going to LOSE!” Loser~! “Not only… is the Demo God,” Chris Jericho, “a master in the ring! He’s master on the mic, master on the stage, he’s a master entertainer, and he’s a master debater!” Umm… No! Nevermind that one! Just tear that one up and… #InnerCircle #AEWDynamite #SpanishGod as AEW goes to break.

 

AEW returns to Super Wednesday Debate 2020!

Justin Roberts introduces us to this major event and we even get a lot of pyro. He introduces the very special guest  moderator… ERIC BISCHOFF!!! Really!? Yes! The iconic WCW and WWE general manager is now on AEW! The “groundbreaking pro-wrestling executive” takes his seat at the table and prepares his notes. “Thank you very much, and welcome to the AEW Super Wednesday Debate, 2020!” Bischoff explains the simple format: there are five questions put together through the various platforms of social media, all picked at random. Neither Mr. Orange Cassidy nor Mr. Chris Jericho have seen these questions. Without further ado, he introduces our participants!

First out is Freshly Squeezed, Orange Cassidy! Cassidy shakes Bischoff’s hand with his signature super sloth effort. And of course, second is Le Champion, Chris Jericho! Jericho has a new suit, but has Jake Hager carry the orange juice stained old one with him anyway. Both men take their podiums in the ring, and Bischoff allows Jericho to begin.

“Why does Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy hate each other so much?

Jericho says that’s easy. First he verbally annihilates Cassidy, Jericho wants to say he’s so glad Cassidy “dressed for the occasion.” This is disgraceful! Cassidy sighs, and brings out a clip-on tie! This is what Jericho hates about Cassidy. No, that might not be strong enough. Jericho despises the fact Cassidy doesn’t take anything seriously. Jericho despises who Cassidy is, who Cassidy stands for, and despise the millions of morons who follow Cassidy as if he’s the greatest thing in pro-wrestling history when he’s not. As a matter of fact, people laugh at him behind his back. Cassidy is a joke! Critics, historians, experts all laugh at what Cassidy does and so does Jericho. Cassidy is a nothing, nobody flash in the pan, “Ginger jackass who plays pocket pool on a weekly basis,” and that ends Jericho’s statement.

Bischoff is rather looking forward to Cassidy’s response. Cassidy’s response is…? Jericho says Cassidy doesn’t talk because he has nothing to say. Well, in that case, let’s move on to the second question.

“Who is the better wrestler? And who is the bigger star?”

Another easy one! Don’t be stupid! This is Chris Jericho, man! Le Champion! The Demo God! Jericho has held 50 titles around the world, while Cassidy has barely been out of the state of Florida. The only title Cassidy has is Biggest Slacker in his high school yearbooks! And if they went to school together, Jericho would’ve chased Cassidy down the halls, kicked his ass in front of the lockers, give him wedgies, steal his milk money and his girlfriend. “You’re a nerd.” Jericho is in a $10,000 suit, looking like a million bucks. Cassidy is in a filthy denim jacket and smells like old salami, Drakkar Noir and batteries. Cassidy makes Jericho sick! That’s all for Jericho.

Cassidy’s response? Just adjusting his glasses. Well then… The next question is one Bischoff feels might resonate with Cassidy.

“Global sea levels have been rising over the past century, the rate has increased in recent decades. What are your thoughts on this very serious global situation?”

What is a global warming/climate change question doing in a debate about wrestling?! Next question, please! Well, Jericho skipped it, but does Cassidy have something to say? “Ahem…” He does?! “Sea levels continue to rise at about the rate of 1/8 of an inch per year. Higher sea levels enables storms to push further inland and therefore increase the extremely dangerous flooding in coastal communities. A failure to minimize our fossil fuel usage and reduction of carbon emissions can be devastating to the estimated 40% of the population in the United States that lives in these coastal communities, and globally, eight of the world’s ten largest cities. Thank you.” What?! Wow! Now it’s a debate!

“Why is Orange Cassidy so popular?”

Why? Jericho says Cassidy is the epitome of everything wrong in pro-wrestling today! He’s the epitome of every idiot, smart mark fan in the arenas tonight and watching at home! He’s lazy, arrogant, entitled, overbearing and the “pimple on the ass of the pro-wrestling business.” But next week, Jericho will pop him! Jericho will beat Cassidy again, and when he does, Cassidy will have to pay $7000 to replace the designer creation that somehow gets oranger every week from that demonic orange juice Cassidy dumped on it! And after all that, Cassidy will leave AEW, quit the business, and go back to being “Jim the Jamba Juice guy,” and take Jericho’s order of a blueberry smoothie with extra protein and pumpkin seeds! And no tip!

Jericho high-fives Hager but what is Cassidy’s response to all that? He just looks away. Last question!

“Why does this rematch mean so much to both of you?”

The reason it means so much to Jericho- “Heeeeey, Chriiis. Shut up!” Cassidy goes first it seems. “Shut up.” Cassidy knows what Jericho is doing. Jericho schedules a debate against a guy “who doesn’t talk.” Smart, but it’s mostly to embarrass him. Yep. Trying to embarrass him with all of this? Cassidy isn’t embarrassed. Because he doesn’t care. Cassidy does care about their rematch, though. It’s the biggest match of his life. But it’s also the biggest match of Jericho’s. Just imagine. You’re Chris Jericho, man. Jericho’s done it all the things that fans can google later. But right now, what if Jericho loses to “the guy that puts his hands in his pockets?”

Cassidy takes the sunglasses off to show Jericho he is serious! “I want you to look at me, Chris. I want you to look into my eyes, and look at the man that is going to embarrass you. And next week, look at the man that is going to beat you!” The crowd is on Cassidy’s side as Jericho looks worried. Bischoff has no choice but to declare Cassidy the winner! Jericho is furious but Cassidy gives a thumbs up. Bischoff apologizes, that global warming stuff got him. No one wins a debate, Bischoff! This is why Jericho hasn’t liked you in 22 years! It’s been 24 years and the feeling’s mutual. Well whatever, Cassidy “won” this debate but Jericho is gonna “kick the sh*t” out of him in the ring! Maybe Jericho will do that right now! And Hager attacks!

Hager drags Cassidy back up to throw hands in the corner! Hager keeps Cassidy standing up, slaps him, then puts his hands in his pockets. Then he feeds Cassidy to JUDAS EFFECT! Best Friends rush out but Jericho and Hager get away. Can Cassidy recover and get his revenge? Or is it just the beginning of the end for Freshly Squeezed?

 

AEW returns with an interview with Britt Baker.

Last week, the Role Model gave Big Swole a challenge. Swole can get her match with Britt Baker at All Out, if Swole defeats someone of Britt’s choosing. So who does Britt have in mind? Well everyone’s dying to know. After careful consideration, Swole’s opponent is… Reba. Wait what?! Reba/Rebel doesn’t want that! Britt trusts Reba can do this. Just get in the ring! Rebel gets in, but can the former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader really beat a trained and seasoned professional wrestler?

Big Swole VS Rebel w/ Britt Baker!

The bell rings and Britt says Reba’s got this. But Swole waistlocks, headlocks and throws Rebel down with the takeover. Swole dares Rebel to do something, Rebel manages to get up and powers out to a hammerlock. Swole turns that right back on her, then CLUBS her down! Britt shouts at Swole but Swole talks trash back. Rebel clubs Swole from behind! And bumps her off buckles! Rebel air high-fives Britt before bumping Swole off more buckles. Rebel brings Swole out to suplex and TOSS! Rebel might be surprising herself right now! She runs corner to corner to back heel kick Swole down! Rebel dribbles Swole into the mat, then sets her up in the drop zone. Britt coaches her to go all the way up, but Rebel wobbles. Rebel goes for second rope, to MOONSAULT and flop! Still great form, though.

Swole aims at Rebel with the DIRTY DANCING DISCUS! Cover, Swole wins!

Winner: Big Swole, by pinfall

Was there any question, though? And now, Swole has her date with Britt at All Out! Will the Role Model find a way to get out of this? Or will she finally have to put her money where her mouth is?

 

AEW has big matches made for next week!

After the stare down on the stage, the American Nightmare is giving Scorpio Sky his chance! It will be Cody VS Scorpio for the AEW TNT Championship! Jericho and Cassidy have their “$7000 obligation match” to settle things once and for all! And FTR’s #TagTeamAppreciationNight will of course feature great tag team matches! First, the AEW World Tag Team Champions, Kenny Omega & Hangman Page, taking on Jurassic Express’ Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus in non-title action! Can the #5 ranked team make a huge splash against the champs? Then, the Young Bucks and the Dark Order’s Uno & Stu go 2v2 to see who moves up the ranks! Plus, the legendary Rock ‘n’ Roll Express will stop buy, and even Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson will have a reunion of sorts. That and more as Dynamite keeps the summer hot!

 

AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley VS Darby Allin!

If there’s anyone as truly reckless and relentless as The Maniac, it’s the Undead Daredevil. They’ve teamed together and fought each other before, but both men have only grown grittier since then. Will Darby take that advice from someone who has been there and done that? Or will Moxley have no choice but to put his personal favorite down for the count?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and Moxley says a quick prayer for what he might have to do tonight.

Moxley circles with Darby, who hasn’t taken off the cardboard mask of Moxley’s face. Moxley rips it off then throws it away! Darby SLAPS Moxley! Moxley DECKS Darby! Darby is already bleeding but he seems to like that. Darby throws off the jacket and dares Moxley to do that again. Moxley kicks low, whips but Darby ducks and redirects to handspring and SLAP Mox again! Moxley LARIATS Darby inside out! Moxley brings Darby up to CHOP him off his feet! Darby growls but Moxley puts him in a corner. Moxley digs his forearms in, then CHOPS again! Darby is stinging but Moxley puts him in another corner to ram his shoulder in. Moxley TOSSES Darby across the way, then grabs the legs to stomp the stomach!

Moxley paces as Darby writhes. Moxley drags Darby up, scoops Darby and slams him down, to then drop an elbow! Cover, TWO, but Moxley keeps his cool. In fact, Moxley is conflicted. Moxley drags Darby back up, back suplexes, but Darby lands on his feet. Darby whips, Moxley reverses but Darby springboards and arm-drags Moxley away! Moxley staggers up into a shotgun dropkick! Moxley goes to the ramp, Darby DIVES to less tope and more tackle Moxley down! Darby rains right hands on the ramp but Moxley gets away. They go to the stage, Darby clubs away to the entryway. Moxley knees back, clubs Darby down, then shakes his head. Moxley drags Darby up, and TOSSES Darby at the post! Darby goes down in a heap!! The referee checks on Darby while Moxley paces. AEW goes picture in picture, #ALLINvsMOX.

Moxley goes back to the ring, looks down at Darby and asks if he really is alright. The ref starts a ring count so Darby must somehow be alright. Moxley doesn’t really like that but he goes over to talk to Darby. Darby crawls up so Moxley puts him in the ring. Cover, TWO! Moxley already senses Darby didn’t listen, so he puts Darby in a straitjacket stretch. Darby endures as Moxley seems to try and reason with him. Darby fights up, spins out, but Moxley clobbers him! Moxley paces again before bringing Darby up. Moxley rocks Darby with haymakers but Darby CHOPS back! And CHOPS again! And again! Moxley CHOPS Darby off his feet again!

Moxley drags Darby up, but Darby dropkicks back! Darby dodges and dropkicks again, only to get caught! Moxley has the one leg for a modified Half Crab! Darby endures as Moxley sits deep and digs a knee into the back. Darby crawls, the crowd rallies up, but Moxley drops down for an STF! Darby endures the new hold, Moxley digs his fingers in, and AEW returns to single picture. Darby gives Moxley double dirty birds and Moxley just bends on back! Moxley drags Darby up, and X-PLEXES him down! Moxley is again torn as Darby keeps moving. Darby rolls to the ramp, Moxley follows and tells him, “When I tell you to tap, you tap!” But Darby hotshots Moxley instead! Moxley sputters, Darby runs, and TACKLES Moxley to the outside!

Darby rains down rights on Moxley, clearly defying Moxley’s advice. Moxley gets up, Darby DIVES again! The full body tope takes them back to the railing! Darby drags Moxley up but Moxley puts him in. Moxley gets on the apron but Darby shotgun dropkicks him again! Darby goes to the corner, brings Moxley over and puts the hand on the post! Darby stands on that hand! The ref counts, Moxley gets away, but Darby SUPER SWANTONS onto him!! Both men are down again and the crowd says “This is Awesome!” Darby puts Moxley back in as the ring count hits 4. Darby runs, springboards, but the Coffin Drop is caught for a GERMAN SUPLEX! But Darby lands on his feet!

Darby throws fast hands, only to run into underhooks! But Darby bends the fingers, dropkicks the legs out, and hosp on for CODE RED!! Cover, TWO!! Moxley survives and Darby realizes how close he was! A standing count begins as both men stir. Darby crawls to a corner and stands up at 6. Moxley springs up as Darby climbs to club him down! Moxley SUPER GERMANS, and Darby manages to rotate enough to save himself! But both men are still down, and Moxley shouts, “You wanted this!” Both men crawl at each other, but here comes Wardlow?! Wardlow distracts the ref so MJF can bring in the AEW World Championship belt!! MJF CLOBBERS Moxley with it, then bails out! Wardlow stops distracting the ref, and the ref wonders what just happened.

Darby rises and hurries to a corner! He goes up top, COFFIN DROP!! Cover, TWO!?! MJF’s screw job didn’t work out, but Moxley is bleeding! Taz loves this on commentary because of his issues on behalf of Brian Cage. Darby seethes as Moxley flounders. Moxley manages to stand, Darby throws haymakers on the wound! Moxley shoves Darby away but walks into boots! Darby leaps up and over to shotgun dropkick Moxley back! Then the THROWBACK STUNNER! Moxley wobbles into Darby’s run, and perhaps back elbow and back of the head collide with Moxley! Darby crawls over to another corner, heads back up top, and goes for COFFIN DROP into body scissors! REAR NAKED CHOKE!!

Moxley smothers Darby, Darby fades but gets a second wind! Darby sits up, reaches for ropes, Moxley wants Darby to tap! “Tap, you little bastard!” But Darby doesn’t, he just rakes Moxley’s bloody forehead!! Moxley cranks harder on the hold, spins Darby around, and shouts out Suzuki-san with the GOTCH PILEDRIVER!! Cover, TWO!?!? Moxley cannot believe it and neither can anyone else! Moxley shakes his head. He told Darby to stay down but also knew Darby wouldn’t listen, and that’s what happened. Moxley says one more prayer, drags Darby up, and underhooks the arms, for PARADIGM SHIFT!! Cover, Moxley wins!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)

Moxley holds Darby close, trying to let him know it’s alright. As for MJF, he’s disappointed things didn’t swing in his favor, even after he got involved. MJF shouts and screams though we can’t hear it, then storms off to who knows where. Moxley and MJF will collide at All Out, will Moxley prove the polls wrong?


My Thoughts:

An incredible episode for AEW! The 12 Man Tag starting things off was some wild stuff from bell to bell. I really liked the “knee injury” element that took FTR out of things, and the fact Hangman was gone for so long hints even more at him leaving Omega and The Elite to join up with them in whatever AEW Four Horsemen idea that’s in the works. I really thought Hangman’s return meant The Elite would win but it works even better that Dark Order wins. That faction is big and needs to feel strong for that reason, and Cabana started to feed into it more. Cabana should at this point really have gear that is still his designs, like the “BOOM BOOM,” but in Dark Order colors. Of course, Dark Order can’t win everything just yet, and Matt Cardona gets to look great in his debut match with a win.

I also really liked Scorpio Sky being there to make it known he wants a shot, and that Cody is giving it to him. Now, I don’t know if Scorpio wins, as convention would make you think a PPV is the place for that. But for that reason, Scorpio should definitely win it off Cody here. I feel it’d get a lot of buzz, Scorpio has been working really hard and doing amazing, he deserves to be not only the second ever TNT Champion, but the first to have checked off it and tag titles in the AEW Triple Crown bingo. Best Friends have a really good match with Proud ‘n’ Powerful, but as soon as that van pulled up, it was clear it was going to get ruined. It’s actually very on brand for Best Friends to escalate a feud because someone’s mom’s van got vandalized, and I know that rematch will be great.

The “Super Wednesday” debate segment was a goofy idea that was actually very good. I did not expect Eric Bischoff to moderate it but he did pretty good for his part. Jericho was great as always, and I knew as soon as a global warming related question came up, Cassidy would have a bunch to say, it was classic comedic genius. Cassidy also does a great promo right on Jericho, and of course there was going to be a beat down. Cassidy just has to win the match, everything points to that. Sammy and Matt Hardy had quite the segment, and WOW the blood after that admittedly reckless chair toss to the head. I’m sure Hardy will be fine, and he will come back with a vengeance. Hardy saying he’ll be normal Matt Hardy is probably a ruse, this has to be settled between Sammy and DAMASCUS~!

Britt choosing Rebel to face Swole was both natural, as no one else would care to do Britt’s bidding, but also disappointing because then it was obvious. I will say, Rebel really did impress on that moonsault and flop. Swole VS Britt is happening, it’s going to be a lot of fun, and could go either way. MJF’s campaign update was a good segment, and I feel like it’s also a good way to bring more people into MJF’s stable since it’s just him and Wardlow. Though, Wardlow is pretty capable. Lee Johnson has just been getting manhandled so maybe siding with MJF and Wardlow could change that ever so slightly.

The main event was incredible, probably thanks to MJF trying to screw Moxley over, all because he feels it’d be easier to beat Darby. I felt that at that point, the title could’ve changed hands just so Darby could actually prove MJF wrong, but Mox VS MJF is certainly a bigger match. Plus, Darby could even go after MJF for revenge, though he also still has his issues with Brian Cage. AEW likes blending and interweaving stories, so Darby having many bullies he wants revenge on would work.

My Score: 9.3/10

Freshly Squeezed is still a champion, as he retained the now AEW International Championship in Canada. But now, a familiar foe is rearing his Superbad head once again.

AEW shares backstage footage from last week.

After having his “Re-Bar-Mitzvah” interrupted by Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara and “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry, it was obvious Maxwell Jacob Friedman was mad. He curses up a storm, then says he is the world champion! But Darby Allin says the world title means much more than money and fame. It is him being him. And Jack Perry, for himself, his family, and everyone who supported him all this time, he is going to become champion on his own. Sammy says that the world title is his destiny! He said so since episode ONE of Dynamite that he is going to be world champion. But MJF says that’s not how it works! You don’t waltz up to the champ and call your shot, you EARN it!

MJF has beaten Darby, Sammy and JB once each in 1v1 competition in their AEW careers, and he tells them they have to become #1 contender. Good luck trying, because all three of them SUCK! Sammy says he’ll win as many matches as it takes to get that belt off MJF. JB says that you can check the record books. He’s already won more matches than any of them. Darby says he’s beaten Sammy and he’s beaten JB, so he will stop at nothing to make sure that MJF is no longer champion. Who of these three Young Pillars of AEW will be THE one that challenges MJF at Double or Nothing?

 

AEW takes a closer look at tonight’s main event dream match.

Excalibur narrates that, “In 2021, there was no one hotter in professional wrestling than Kenny Omega. Known as ‘The Belt Collector,’ Omega won championships around the world, including in Mexico, where he won the AAA Mega Championship. At the same time, El Hijo del Vikingo was quickly establishing himself as one of the premier luchadors in all of Mexico. A match was made for December 2021: Vikingo, Omega, for the first time ever for the AAA Mega Championship. Unfortunately, Omega’s injuries at Full Gear were so severe, they required surgery, keeping him out of action for nearly a year.

“Now, with Omega back at 100%, the dream match is on for tonight. Kenny Omega, El Hijo del Vikingo, live!” Who will come out as truly the best today?

 

AEW World Tag Team Championships: The Gunns VS Top Flight!

They may not be the Young Bucks, the Lucha Brothers or the Hardy Boyz, but Austin & Colten are the brother tag team reigning over AEW. But will they soon find out they are not nearly as good as they think they are? Or will the Gunns cause the Coldest Tag Team in the Game to melt down?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who is really the better brother duo!

The teams sort out, Austin starts against Dante, and Independence taunts the “ASS~ BOYS!” Austin tunes that out, knuckle locks with Dante, and then he CHOPS!

Dante BLASTS Colten before the cheap shot! Dante then goes up and over Austin, only for Austin to pull hair! The ref reprimands, but misses Colten HOTSHOT Dante down!

Tag to Colten, he stomps Dante, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Colten stomps some more, he and Austin taunt Independence and Darius, then Colten drags Dante up. Colten DECKS Dante, then mocks the fans. Colten ROCKS Dante, ROCKS him again, then suplexes. Cover, TWO! Colten stays between the Martin brothers, drags Dante over and bumps him off buckles. Tag to Austin, he stomps Dante now, then digs his boots in.

The ref reprimands but Austin mocks the fans rallying for Dante. Austin lets off and Colten CHOKES Dante! Colten lets off Dante before he gets caught, and Austin tags Colten in. Colten drags Dante up, whips him to ropes, and the Gunns body shot, knee lift and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Colten stays between the Martins again, drags Dante up and whips him to the corner. Colten runs in but Dante dodges the splash! Austin tags in and hurries to stop Dante. Austin shoves Dante down, but Dante fakes Austin out to go under! Austin still grabs a leg, tags Colten back in, and the Gunns double back suplex! But Dante lands on his feet!

Dynamite returns to single picture, Dante goes over Austin, over Colten, and tags in Darius! Darius rallies on the Gunns and fans fire up! Darius hits an atomic drop on Austin, then LARIATS Colten! Mule kick for Austin, and Darius whips him at Colten. Austin reverses but Darius uses that to UPPERCUT Colten! Austin runs back in, but is sent into Colten!

Wait, is that THE KINGDOM!? Mike Bennett & Matt Taven are mugging Darius over their ROH losses! But Dante FLIES out onto them! Direct hit and fans fire up! Dante hurries back up, springboards again, but Austin gets under!

Colten gets in, Dante runs into a 3:10 TO YUMA!! Cover, the Gunns win!

Winners: The Gunns, by pinfall (still AEW World Tag Team Champions)

Fans boo that the Gunns win, but Darius is pissed at The Kingdom! Darius chases off Mike & Matt, will Top Flight get revenge in ROH? As for the Gunns, they hear FTR coming! Fans fire up again as Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler step out on stage with mics in their hands! Colten gets a mic to have the FTR music stop. Colten says no one wants to hear that song and no one wants to see FTR. Fans boo because they disagree. FTR says they’re not here to fight. They’re here to talk business. Well, no one wants to hear you talk! The Gunns don’t like or respect FTR. And guess what? FTR are LOSERS! They lost three sets of belts, and lost to the Gunns!

There is nothing FTR can say or offer them to get a rematch. NOTHING! Nothing? So like, if they said they’ll never challenge the Gunns again for those titles should they lose- NO! Do you not hear what Austin is saying, “you hillbillies? NOTHING! There’s NOTHING! What do you have to offer?! NOTHING!!” Then if the Gunns wanna prove their first win wasn’t a fluke, should they win against FTR again, FTR will never tag together in AEW again. Oh, the break up? So heartbreaking! LOOK AT HIS FACE! NOTHING!! Okay, okay. Dax says if FTR can’t beat the Gunns to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships, FTR will just quit AEW.

Fans boo, but it seems that got through to the Gunns. If the Gunns beat FTR again, FTR leaves AEW forever? Yes, that’s what Dax said. Well, in that case, deal! The Gunns and FTR shake on it, but then Gunns literally spin in FTR’s faces! The Gunns run for it, but the match is coming either way. Will the “ASS~ BOYS!” get their asses kicked? Or will they be the team that banishes FTR from AEW?

 

Backstage interview with Jade Cargill, Leila Grey & Mark Sterling.

Renee Paquette is with the AEW TBS Champion, her Last Baddie Standing and her legal representation. Renee says that Taya Valkyrie is All Elite now, and she has her eye on the TBS title. What is Jade’s reaction to that? “Renee, cut the sh*t. We had this Taya girl come in and interrupt my moment to answer an open challenge that was already closed, baby girl. And then, had the audacity to use my finisher. Mark, tie this up.” Sterling has a document, it is a Cease & Desist order. This will be sent to Taya Valkyrie, telling Taya that she is no longer allowed to use the chicken wing facebuster, which is also Jade’s move, as her finisher.

Leila says that she should deliver this document to Taya personally, this Saturday on Rampage. Because she has a few words of her own for Taya. So that’s an official challenge? Yes. Welcome to #ThatBitchShow. Will La Wera Loca have a jaded response to this frivolous lawsuit?

 

No Disqualifications: Hook VS Stokely Hathaway!

An injured arm turned into a suspension turned into a settlement turned into a high stakes bet that The Firm lost, and now it has resulted in this match. And though Ethan Page, Matt Hardy, Isiah Kassidy, Lee Moriarty & “Big Bill” Morrissey see Stokely off, they can’t stay per the stipulations of the bet. As the introduction says, “He’s not as large as the men he represents, he has the heart of a lion and the wisdom of an owl.” But will any of that help him defeat The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil?

As Hook makes his entrance, Stokely grabs the mic to say, “Whoa, whoa, whoa! I’ve got some breaking news! I spoke to Dr. Simpson (he means Sampson) earlier, and he said I am not medically cleared to compete. I know, I know. I wanted to so bad. And I would also, what a coinky-dink, announce that I am retiring.” What? Stokely thanks all 12 of his fands, God bless! Justin, here, doctor’s note. Make it official. Justin takes the note, and it reads, “He is SICK.” Justin says that with all due respect, that’s a receipt for Wingstop. The ref RIPS the receipt! And the bell rings! Fans fire up and Hook is ready, so Stokely bails!

Stokely runs around the ring, out to the crowd, but Hook pursues! Fans fire up as Hook chases Stokely down, drags him back, CLUBS him, then brings him over to KNEE and TOSS! Stokely ends up at ringside again and fans are thunderous! Hook stalks Stokely, Stokely runs in to UPPERCUT, but Stokely bounces off of Hook! Stokely scurries away, gets back up, and runs in, but into a leg capture! EL CAMINO to the floor! Fans fire up as Hook drags Stokely up, puts him in the ring, and then looks under the ring. Fans fire up more, because here comes a SPARE GUARD RAIL! Hook puts that in the ring while the Firm can only watch.

Hardy tries to calm the group down, Stokely can take care of himself with things getting “hardcore.” Ethan says no he can’t, they didn’t practice any of the hardcore stuff! Stokely bails out again but Hook puts the railing in a corner. Hook drags Stokely up but Stokely BLASTS Hook with the fire extinguisher! Fans boo but Stokely gets a chair! Stokely smacks the steps a couple times, he says, “I’m not a killer, but don’t push me! That’s Tupac.” Stokely hurries in, fans rally up, and Stokely swings, but Hook blocks! Hook BOOTS Stokely, then SMACKS him on the back! And again! And again! And again!

Hook throws the chair aside, Stokely is barely moving! But Hook drags Stokely up to EL CAMINO onto the railing! The railing BENDS! Hook drags Stokely off the railing, covers, but then pulls him up at TWO! Hook wants REDRUM!!! Stokely is OUT, Hook wins!

Winner: Hook, by submission

The FTW Champion could’ve ended it sooner, but he chose to teach Stokely a lesson: Do not get on Hook’s bad side. Hardy says Ethan must avenge Stokely! Ethan can beat Hook! Hardy is gonna get a match made right now! All Ego is ready, but will he be ready when they #SendHook?

 

Adam Cole is here!

Fans fire up as the Undisputed One heads to the ring. Naturally, everyone joins in on the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” Cole gets the mic and says, “Wow. Hey, hey, I think I know the answer to this, but who’s ready for Storytime with Adam Cole, baybay?” Everyone cheers! Cole continues with, “Seven days. We are just seven days away from me making my in-ring return here in AEW. And listen, I know I’ve talked a ton about my struggles and what I went through, but as far as how I’m feeling right now? Guys, I feel freaking great. I have never been more ready, never been more prepared, to get back in this ring, doing what I love, and that is wrestle for AEW.”

Fans are fired up, and Cole knows everyone has questions. “The biggest one being: Who is my opponent going to be on March 29th?” Fans echo, “Who? Who? Who?” Cole starts to speak, but here comes Daniel Garcia! Fans boo as Red Death has the mic to say, “Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Who’s ready for Storytime with Daniel Garcia, baybay?” Garcia knows Cole’s been gone awhile, so here’s an update on a few things. Fans tell Garcia to STFU already but Garcia says since Cole’s been gone, Garcia’s become a real veteran in AEW. All the boys in the back respect him so much that he is a locker room leader!

Fans boo more but Garcia says as locker room leader, it is his duty to come out here to not only welcome Cole back, but to put him in his place, too. Garcia says Cole may not remember, but here’s an update on what Garcia’s been doing the last nine months while Cole was home, “playing stupid video games on Twitch.” Cole smirks but allows it. Brody King: beat him! Ricky Starks: beat him! Bryan Danielson: Garcia beat him, too. Garcia’s main-evented more AEW programming over the past year than anyone else on the roster! Garcia is the lifeblood that pumps through this company. And he’s to respect Cole? To welcome Cole back? Where’s Garcia’s warm welcome?

Where is Garcia’s respect when he’s been here, been doing this, and proved himself as one of the best pro-wrest- Oops. Freudian slip there? Garcia corrects himself, “Sports entertainers on the planet today!” That’s what Garcia is! So what makes Cole so special? “What makes me special? When they ring the freakin’ bell, that’s what makes me special! That’s what makes m e special.” Cole admits he likes Garcia. Garcia is really, really good. And some day, he could be leading the charge in AEW. The problem is the company he keeps.

“The Jericho Appreciation Society, they’ve done a great job of giving you this false sense of security. This overconfidence, which sometimes is good, and sometimes is bad. But let me remind you, even me not wrestling for nine months, I am still Adam Cole Baybay. I am a multi-time world champion. I have traveled the globe, fought and beat some of the very best! As a matter of fact, while I was sitting at home for nine months, I was wondering if I’d ever get the chance to wrestle again, hoping, praying, willing to do anything for a second chance. And looks like I found that second chance.”

Fans fire up and Cole says if Garcia is crazy enough to want the match, then dammit, he’s on! Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, first-time-ever, next week on Dynamite! But Cole will remind Garcia of something: “This is not just my return match; this is a statement. It’s a statement to the entire locker room that one of the best damn pro-wrestlers on the planet is BACK, baybay.” Fans are fired up for “ADAM COLE! ADAM COLE!” Cole hopes Garcia realizes what he’ sin for. Because Cole promises next week will be a great night. A great night for Cole, for the fans, but for Garcia… Not so much. “See you next week, Garcia. BOOM.”

Cole is ready, Garcia is ready, but will the Dragonslayer stay a great sports enner-tay-ners? Or will the pro-wrestler in him rise to the surface against one of the greatest pro-wrestlers alive today?

 

Alex Marvez is outside The Elite’s locker room.

Marvez can hear a conversation going on inside, and he steps inside. Callis and Omega are talking, and Callis wants Marvez to hold on. What is Omega’s concern here? Omega’s concern is that his best friends left in an ambulance! He should’ve gone with them! Callis says he sent Cutler and Nakazawa with them. Omega has a match tonight! Hear Callis out. He’s a glass half full kind of guy. Injuries happen, but hear him out. The Bucks going to the hospital might’ve been the best thing for Omega and Callis. It allows for focus! Omega is in a singles match, the God of Pro-Wrestling is back! “Those kids will be fine in a few months.”

Callis now has Marvez join in. “Kenny Omega VS El Hijo del Vikingo is gonna blow the roof off! The God of Pro-Wrestling is BACK, and it starts tonight on Dynamite! Now get out.” Marvez throws this back to ringside, but is Callis only thinking of his benefit, not Kenny’s?

 

Jon Moxley w/ The Blackpool Combat Club VS Stu Grayson w/ The Dark Order!

The Maniac, along with Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta, have torn into the Dark Order from Silver to Reynolds to Evil Uno. They did all that to anger Hangman Page, but they’ve also angered #PlayerTwo! Moxley may be #ForgedByCombat, but will he survive someone born and bred for combat?

The bell rings and Stu RAMS Moxley into a corner! Fans fire up as Stu fires off on Moxley but lets off as the ref counts. Moxley turns things around to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP! Moxley pie faces Stu, but Stu turns things around to CHOP back! Stu stalks Moxley to another corner, KNEES him and CLUBS him, then stalks him to a third corner. Moxley kicks low, ROCKS Stu with a forearm, then another, then digs his boots in. The ref counts, Moxley steps off at 4, then Moxley drags Stu up to headlock takeover. Stu keeps his shoulders up, the Dark Order coaches him up but Moxley gets a knuckle lock cover. TWO as Stu gets his left arm up.

Moxley pushes the hand down, covers, TWO as Stu gets the right arm up. Moxley pushes that arm down again, covers, ONE as Stu gets his left arm back up. Stu fights to his feet but Moxley kicks low.

Cover, TWO!! Stu is still in this, but Moxley has the knuckle locks back. Dynamite returns to single picture as Moxley rains down the DRAGON STOMPS! Cover, TWO!!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall

The Dark Order hurry into the ring and Moxley backs off, there won’t be any extracurriculars here. But will the Dark Order ever get payback on the mean SOBs in the BCC?

 

Backstage interview with Ricky Starks.

Renee says she can feel the frustration coming off The Absolute. The back ‘n’ forth with him and Juice Robinson, where do they stand? You tell him! Starks is “sick and tired of talking back and forth. No action, all talk.” Starks doesn’t wanna stand around, take time off his vacation, just to say Juice, he doesn’t like that you attacked him from behind. That’s cool and all, but whatever! How about this, though? Saturday Night Rampage, Starks is done talking. If Juice wants to face him man to man, then he can find Starks on Rampage! If not, just stop! Starks is over it, he is so sick of it! This is the craziest thing he’s been a part of his whole life!

Starks is issuing the open challenge to Juice. If Juice accepts it or not, is a man or not, Starks doesn’t give a damn anymore. The Absolute will be waiting, but will the Booster oblige?

Toni Storm w/ The Outcasts VS Skye Blue!

The Lightning From Down Under has been striking down “spoiled rookies” again and again, but in the Dark. Will she do so again in the spotlight of Dynamite? Or will Skye roll the Storm away?

The bell rings and Storm BLASTS Skye with a forearm! Then she stomps a mudhole into Skye in the corner! The ref counts, Storm lets off but she grins and soaks up the heat.

Kenny Omega VS El Hijo del Vikingo!

The AAA Mega Championship match that was meant to happen in December of 2021 was denied because of injury and misfortune. But now we are all fortunate enough to have this match happen here! “HE was the longest reigning Mega Champion at 765 days, 292 days more than El Hijo del Vikingo. HE never lost that title. HE is undefeated in singles matches in Mexico and also on Dynamite. Many people say HE is also undefeated at life. HE is often complimented on his accomplishments, matches, chiseled physique and hair, yet he is personally proud of his win-loss record in Independence, Missouri, which is better than his record of 1-1 in… NOOOORTH CAROLINA~!

“He arrives tonight after his 833 mile journey from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Weighing 224 pounds, HE is…! KENNY! OOOOOOOOOOOOMEEEEGAAAAAA~!” The fans go wild for the Cleaner, the Best Bout Machine, and Don Callis’ God of Pro-Wrestling, but will Omega prove he is better than the Mega Champion?

Fans fire up for that, and Omega stands that table up near the ring. The ref reprimands, this isn’t a Tables match or anything like that.

Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall

This was a dream match the moment it was made, but this became an all-time classic by the end! Tony Schiavone joins Callis and Omega in the ring to say this was an incredible match. Omega is back in singles competition, and that was one for the ages! Omega thanks Schiavone for that. The more time goes by, the more he wonders if he can still do this kind of stuff for the fans. Wait, wait! THE BCC JUMPS OMEGA!! Moxley, Claudio & Yuta all mug Omega, and fans boo while Callis can only shout at the ref to stop this! The BCC stand Omega up so they can throw body shots and haymakers!

Fans continue to boo, but wait! Sirens? An ambulance has returned? For who? Wait, HANGMAN is driving it!! The Cowboy has a 2×4, with nails in it! Fans are going nuts for “COWBOY SH*T!” while the BCC stomp away on Omega. But here comes Hangman, wood in hand! The BCC decide to bail! Callis checks on Omega but the damage has been done. Hangman wants Moxley to get his ass back in here, but he stays back. Callis tries to calm Hangman down, but he almost gets 2×4 to the face! Callis keeps pulling at Hangman’s arm to hold him back, but Hangman shakes free and Callis falls right down! Omega comes to, and misunderstands why Callis is down!

Callis blames Hangman but Hangman says he didn’t do anything to Don! Omega and Hangman argue, Callis cowers behind Omega, and Omega takes Callis’ side. Fans boo, but is this just Callis keeping Omega all to himself?


My Thoughts:

A great episode of Dynamite, but it already feels like they’re gonna keep things going until Double or Nothing, no big thing for April. We got a great promo out of the Four Young Pillars, and MJF is making the other three run the #1 contender race like he did Bryan Danielson from now until, I dunno, probably May 3rd so that May can focus on building MJF VS his challenger. Hard to say who it’ll be, but Darby’s off to a good start with that great Six Man Tag. Darby, Sting and Cassidy made an eclectic but great combination, especially with Sting borrowing some Freshly Squeezed tactics. And Cassidy’s International Championship card is open to just about anyone at this point.

Really good tag title match, but I should’ve figured shenanigans would help The Gunns retain. The Kingdom and Top Flight are solidly ROH Tag title contenders with #ReachForTheSky needing teams. Plus, The Gunns’ real story is with FTR, who came back to have a really good promo with them. Gunns VS FTR, Titles VS AEW contracts could honestly go either way. There’s a lot of talk out there of FTR going back to WWE since it’s under HHH right now, so this move could be how FTR exits AEW, but this could also be what guarantees FTR staying. Either way, this is going to be some really big stuff for the titles.

Good promo from Jade and her group, and you do have to appreciate Sterling’s gimmick of bringing about frivolous lawsuits on behalf of people to poke fun at wrestling tropes. The security guards finally got justice, even though they also got crushed by Wardlow, and now finishers that are exactly the same but with different names are being questioned. Pretty sure Leila loses the match and Taya tears up that document, though. Then it’ll be about who hits the chicken wing facebuster first to win that title. Jade has done an amazing job being an undefeated inaugural TBS Champion, but now is the time to move on to someone else so Jade can move on to the top title.

Great segment out of Hook, Stokely and The Firm. Great show from Stokely with trying to weasel out of this, then trying to run away from this, but of course he gets thrown around. Awesome use of spare guard railing, though. I figured Hook VS Ethan was going to be how this wraps up, can’t wait to see how that goes. And I appreciate Starks getting a little meta on the bad pacing of feuds. Starks VS Juice for Rampage, if it happens, will be great stuff, and maybe shenanigans helps Juice win to keep this going. Though, I feel like Starks and Juice could each be doing something better than spinning their wheels with each other. Give me Starks VS Hobbs and Orange VS Juice for those respective titles.

Speaking of which, only the second QTV segment and I’m just done with it. But they did point out the weird logic of Penta not being out there with Fenix last week. Penta VS Hobbs will probably go the same as Fenix VS Hobbs did, and Wardlow will come back for revenge. Also, another wrestling trope that needs poking at: Solo confessed to illegal activities but he won’t get investigated or arrested because it’s wrestling. If Sterling were a Face lawyer, he’d be right on Solo’s ass. But maybe Wardlow beats the crap out of Solo as his punishment, then he gets his shot at Hobbs at Double or Nothing to put this story to rest.

Great promo from Cole and Garcia, and I appreciate they had Garcia have that slip of the tongue. Garcia is of course enjoying the fun side of being a sports entertainer, showing off his personality and just doing whatever shenanigans he wants, but he also clearly enjoys the pro-wrestling stuff of just fighting. Garcia VS Cole is going to be awesome stuff, but Garcia and the JAS also have their story with the House of Black so who knows how the finish goes. Great match out of Storm VS Skye, and Skye looked great even in defeat. Another inconsistency in wrestling logic: Riho & Willow should’ve been ringside to start because they know The Outcasts will be up to no good. But I suppose that does give Riho & Willow their moment of heroism in running the Outcasts off.

I bring up that inconsistency in logic because that match was after Moxley VS Grayson, where both men had their allies ringside. The men can think to bring their boys but the women’s division can’t think to bring their friends along, when we’ve also always seen Britt have Rebel and/or Hayter and vice-versa? Anyway, great stuff out of Moxley VS Grayson, and Grayson also looked awesome even in defeat. The BCC apparently went after everyone Hangman considers a friend, as the Bucks were taken out off-camera by them, and then the BCC jump Grayson.

And then, for being a non-title TV main event, Omega VS El Hijo del Vikingo went above and beyond anything I would’ve expected. There were some scary moments, like that Super Steiner counter to the powerbomb. But then again, it wouldn’t feel like an AAA match if there wasn’t some risk like that. BCC jumping Omega after he wins was a good way to keep the Elite reunion story going, but now there’s the new wrinkle of Don Callis wanting Omega to stay a singles star. To be fair, this is very much like the story of Callis, Omega and The Elite when AEW first got started. Callis wants Omega to return to that Omega, and he throws Hangman under the bus.

Another pro-wrestling logic thing is that no one watches the show back when it’s done, unless it helps the story. And I would hope Omega does that here to see what really happened as opposed to just trusting Callis and distrusting Omega. Or if not Omega, the Bucks can. The Bucks will have seen it on TV at the hospital (kayfabe) and The Bucks will tell Omega that Hangman didn’t hit Callis. Callis is also trying to recruit Konosuke, so it’d be great if Callis only comes out of this with one client. If Omega realizes not to trust Callis over The Elite, then Callis and Konosuke can stick together. If Omega still keeps Callis around, Konosuke can reject Callis to stay his own man.

My Score: 8.9/10

Mitchell’s AEW Dark Results & Report! (3/21/23)

Toni Storm gets Dark!

Published

on

AEW Dark is on #ToniTime!

The Outcasts have drawn a line in the AEW Women’s Division, and are daring everyone else to cross it! Will Toni Storm strike down another “entitled rookie?”

OFFICIAL RESULTS

  • Juice Robinson VS Leon Ruffin; Juice wins.
  • Kiera Hogan VS Leila Grey; Leila wins.
  • The Iron Savages VS The Wingmen; The Iron Savages win.
  • The Renegades VS Avery Breaux & Mafiosa; The Renegades win.
  • Toni Storm VS Billie Starkz; Storm wins.

QUICK NOTES

Another surprisingly short line-up for Dark, with a couple matches that could go either way. The Iron Savages, formerly Bear Country, and the Wingmen will be a good one, but I’m leaning towards Bronson & Boulder winning that. Kiera Hogan VS Leila Grey, former Baddie taking on Jade’s last sidekick standing, could also go either way, but I’m leaning towards Kiera. But it’ll be good to see Robyn & Charlette Renegade get a win here to build that unofficial Women’s Tag Division AEW has.
