AEW hears from Frankie Kazarian.

“In pro-wrestling, respect is not given, it’s earned. Jack Evans, you have my respect. You’re world traveled, you’re unpredictable, you’re athletic. And you’re wildly considered to be underutilized and underrated.” But if we’re going to talk about those overlooked, you can’t have that conversation without mentioning Kaz. For the last 20 years, he’s he has been in the upper tier, built companies from the ground up and has been a multi-time champion. But he’s also considered “always a bridesmaid, never a bride.” That bothers him. It eats him up! Kaz has fought and scratched and worked too damn hard not to be at the top! Consider this the beginning of Kaz’s wedding march, and the holy matrimony he wants is with AEW gold! ALL of it!

The Concrete Rose showed his thorns, but Fenix burned him down all the same! Will Fenix win over his own brother, Pentagon? Or will Animo fall to Cero Miedo?


My Thoughts:

Are they purposefully adding more matches to these episodes? This was over two hours, no commercials! Everything was pretty good, but not all of this was really needed. Ricky Starks is still a lot of fun on commentary with Taz and Excalibur, but he still gets an obvious win. What did still work was the things relevant to tomorrow’s episode of Dynamite with the AEW World Championship Contender “Eliminator” Tournament and the AEW World Tag Team Championship Contender’s Fatal 4 Way. Butcher and Blade, Penta and Fenix all had great matches and great wins, keeping that faction strong toward their respective goals.

Penta’s match also had the honor of having the Allie betrayal happening, but it was rather anticlimactic. She’s just “Bunny” again after months of being controlling girlfriend Allie? Not a lot of drama there but I’m sure that’ll be fleshed out more as we head for Full Gear. Hell, QT might even cost Butcher and Blade in the Fatal 4 Way since it’s pretty clear the Young Bucks are winning. Then Natural Nightmares VS The Butcher & The Blade can happen as part of the Full Gear Buy-In just to cap off the story. I will say KTB looked pretty good against Jungle Boy, those unique moves and sequences help him stand out a bit. And I’m worried Wardlow’s F10 legitimately hurt Vinny Pacifico the way he held his leg after falling. Wardlow should stick to the falling knee smash and then have something more like a a bomb or slam for his other finisher, it’s easier to control than the F10 literally sending someone flying.

Cabana’s match did great to progress the dysfunction between him and the Dark Order. The Beaver Boys, Reynolds and Silver, being the ones more or less meddling was an interesting touch. They’re clearly moving up in the ranks within the faction, even if Brodie seems to like slapping Silver around. I’m still curious how Evil Uno still being on Cabana’s side is going to work out. I’m sure losing to Hangman Page will add to this, and that can be a story going into the winter.

My Score: 8/10

Garcia drags Lee down, into the HEEL HOOK!! Lee endures, reaches out, but he can’t get anywhere! Lee TAPS, Garcia wins!

Winner: Daniel Garcia, by submission

Taiga Style could not survive Red Death, and Daddy Magic joins in from commentary to celebrate the win! Will Garcia use this to get back up towards a title opportunity? Will Garcia be able to build his Dynasty?

 

Medical update on Darby Allin.

The match with Jay White, and the following beating by Bullet Club Gold, has left Darby with a broken foot. The Relentless One won’t even get to go to Mount Everest like he wanted, will the Switchblade & Gunns pay for delaying Darby’s dreams?

 

PAC VS Aaron Solo!

The Bastard is back, but he’s already on his heels as he lost the Six Man Tag on Big Business Dynamite. Will he rebound and be chasing down The Young Bucks soon enough?

The bell rings and Pac seems to think little of Solo. They tie up, Pac powers Solo to ropes, then lets off slowly. Pac then swings, but Solo dodges to SCREW HIGH KICK! Pac swings but into an EXPLODER! Pac bails out, and Solo FLIES out onto him! Solo hurries to get Pac up and in, covers, ONE!! Solo keeps on Pac but Pac CHOKES Solo into a corner! The ref counts, Pac lets off, and then Pac BOOTS him! Pac stomps away on Solo, digs his boots in, but the ref counts. Pac lets off with a shout and the fans fire up with him! The fans chant “Welcome Back!” and Pac stomps Solo. Pac embraces the cheers, then he stomps Solo some more.

Pac paces around Solo, KNEES him down, and the fans chant “He’s a Bastard!” Pac likes that, and he brings Solo up. Pac gets in Solo’s face to egg him on, then he SOBATS! KICKS! And SOBATS again! Pac runs, to SHOTGUN BOOT! Solo is dazed but the fans fire up. Pac then goes up a corner, watching Solo like a hawk. Solo stands, into the MISSILE DROPKICK! Pac kips up and the fans fire up again! Solo goes to a corner, Pac runs corner to corner and he UPPERCUTS! Solo flops into a drop zone, then Pac goes back up the corner. The fans fire up as Pac takes aim, for the BLACK ARROW! And then the BRUTALIZER!! Solo is OUT, Pac wins!

Winner: Pac, by submission

Pac holds on a little longer, but then lets off of Solo to have his hand raised. Pac then gets as mic to say, “Tony, Tony, Tony…! I told ya, The Bastard’s back! And I am looking for trouble. But y’see, this, THIS…! Well, it’s not exactly what I had in mind. So I’ll say this again. Tony Khan, I am looking for trouble! So find me some, or I will find it myself.” The fans fire up hearing that. Just what kind of trouble does The Bastard want to get into?

 

Bryan Danielson speaks.

He sits cross-legged, almost meditative, as he says, “Gratitude. Gratitude. I am so thankful I was able to wrestle Shibata tonight. Y’know, both of us were told years ago that we’d never be able to wrestle again, and here we are. Here we are in Ottawa, and we go out and we fought like hell!” Bryan looks up to the sky and says he isn’t sure who he has to thank for that, but he thanks them for that. And he is also grateful that he has a match with Will Ospreay coming up at Dynasty. Bryan watched what Ospreay had to say on Dynamite. How Ospreay’s followed Bryan’s career since he was a kid, and has tried to emulate Bryan.

But then Ospreay said this: When Ospreay gets in the ring, it’s live or die, and he doesn’t plan on dying just yet. What that tells Bryan is that Ospreay has followed Bryan, emulated Bryan, but he can’t walk in Bryan’s shoes. Ospreay has never been able to walk in Bryan’s shoes, or Shibata’s shoes, because they were told that they’d never wrestle again! They’ve been on death’s door because of this! Because of how much they love this! They have been on death’s door!! “So say what you want about what you’re willing to do. Because I know what I’m willing to do. And I don’t think you’re ready for that yet.” Is the American Dragon going to breathe more fire than the #BillyGoat can handle?

 

Claudio Castagnoli VS Lance Archer!

Like the rest of the Blackpool Combat Club, the Swiss Superman loves when it gets violent, but so does the Murderhawk Monster! Who will prove they can withstand more than the other on this violent Collision?

The bell rings and the fans rally as these two step up. Archer pie faces Claudio, Claudio shoves Archer. They tie up, go around, and they go along ropes. Then they go back to center and they break. The fans cheer, Archer headlocks, but Claudio powers out. Archer RAMS Claudio but Claudio stays up. Archer dares Claudio to do something. Claudio says fans want meat, here’s meat! Claudio RAMS Archer, Archer RAMS Claudio, repeat! The fans chant “MEAT!” with each collision! Archer kicks low, then scoops and SLAMS Claudio! But Claudio’s right up! Claudio scoops and SLAMS Archer!

Claudio fights around, reaches out, but Archer leans on him. Claudio drops to a knee, but Archer gives crossface forearms! Archer looms over Claudio, mocks the cannon arms, then clamps on the chinlock. Archer even fishhooks Claudio’s face! The ref reprimands, Archer lets off, and then cording holds while digging a forearm into Claudio’s face. Claudio endures, fights up, but Archer goes back to the chinlock. Claudio stands, throws body shots, but Archer CLUBS him again. Archer swings, Claudio blocks and UPPERCUTS! Collision returns to single picture as the UPPERCUTS keep going! Claudio whips, Archer reverses and BOOTS!

Archer ripcords Claudio, for the HELLICOASTER! Cover, TWO! Claudio stays in this but Archer is amused. Archer stalks Claudio and says isn’t he supposed to be BCC or something? Archer CLUBS Claudio, drags him up by an ear, and then knees low! Archer reels Claudio in, but Claudio suplexes first! The fans fire up as Archer goes to a corner. Claudio pounds the mat, runs in and UPPERCUTS! Claudio keeps moving, but Archer LARIATS! The fans are torn as Archer grins and brings Claudio back up.

Archer staggers around, Claudio puts him in, and then Claudio hurries up top. But Archer STEP-UP KNEES! Claudio flops down to the mat and Archer takes aim! The fans are torn as Archer choke grips, for the CHOKE SLAM! Cover, TWO!! Claudio survives again but Archer seethes. Archer puts Claudio up top, UPPERCUTS, then lifts Claudio for the- NO, Claudio slips free! Archer elbows Claudio, but Claudio fireman’s carries! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!!

Claudio hoists Archer up top, UPPERCUTS again, then cravats for a SUPER CUTTER!! Cover, TWO!! Archer survives but Claudio keeps on him. Claudio reels Archer in, Gotch holds, but Archer back drops free! Claudio stands, ducks ‘n ‘dodges, and springboards to UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO! Archer survives but Claudio hears the fans calling for it! Claudio says okay, and he grabs Archer’s legs! GIANT SWING!! But The Righteous attack!!

Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by disqualification

The fans boo a Dutch & Vincent beat Claudio down! The Righteous is helping their monster, but Bryan runs out to help his friend! But The Righteous & Archer mug Bryan! AUTUMN SUNSHINE!! Archer digs his knee into Claudio, The Righteous stand over Bryan, but SHIBATA runs out here! With a chair! The Wrestler runs The Righteous outta there! The fans fire up, but will Archer & The Righteous regret angering the Blackpool Combat Club?

 

Backstage interview with Angelo Parker & Ruby Soho.

Lexi Nair is with Cool Hand Ange & The Runaway, and she brings up Zak rejecting Parker’s challenge for tonight. What does he have to say in response? Parker isn’t even sure what to think right now. Ottawa is an hour and a half from where he grew up, this is a second home to him! Parker’s mom and friends are in the crowd, they were ready to watch him fight! He was ready to fight! Zak’s been asking for a fight for weeks! Ruby wants Parker to relax, but Parker asks how can he relax?! The Outcasts are cowards! If Zak doesn’t want a match, then he’ll get a fight because Parker’s gonna find him and give him a fight!

Ruby tells Parker to look her in the eyes. This is what The Outcasts want. They’re baiting Parker into a trap, just like Ruby knew they would. If Parker’s gonna go looking for a fight, he has to do it without her. Parker asks what that means. But then he admits, she’s right. He apologizes for getting carried away. He will leave it at this for tonight, and the two head out. Can Ruby & Parker stay united against The Outcasts? Or will Saraya tear them apart without having to plot and scheme?

 

Kyle O’Reilly VS Bryan Keith!

Finally, after two YEARS of being away, two YEARS of resting and recovering, Kyle O’Reilly returns to action! But he said himself that he wants to do this alone, so will AEW finally see what KOR can do on his own?

The bell rings and the fans rally for Kyle. The two circle, the fans chant “Welcome Back!” and Kyle ties up with Keith. They go around, and around, then Keith headlocks. Kyle fights up but can’t power out as Keith holds tight. Kyle throws Keith away and the fans cheer. Keith smirks as he and Kyle reset. They circle again, tie up, and then Kyle goes for an arm. Kyle wrenches, wristlocks, but Keith fights up to clinch. Keith turns Kyle around, grinds an arm and hammerlocks it. They go around and Kyle slips through to back drop! Keith sunset flips but Kyle drops into an ARMBAR! Keith stacks Kyle, TWO!

Kyle stands but Keith runs him over! Keith keeps moving, Kyle drops then bails out to check his neck and shoulder. Medically cleared isn’t always indicative of a true 100% bill of health, Kyle wants to make sure everything checks out. Kyle then storms back in, and he circles with Keith. They knuckle lock, but Keith CHOPS! Kyle fires a forearm! Keith fires a forearm back! The forearms fly, then Keith CHOPS! Kyle SLAPS, Keith forearms, and forearms, then headlocks. Kyle powers up and out, drops but Keith avoids the hurdle to SOBAT! Kyle sputters, Keith runs, but into a JUMP KNEE! Kyle runs, fakes Keith out, then SLAPS him!

The fans fire up and Kyle stands Keith up to fire off strikes. Kyle whips, KNEES low, then reels Keith in, only for Keith to turn the cobra twist around onto Kyle! Kyle fights out to a facelock, but Keith wrenches out of the guillotine to HOOK KICK! The fans rally for Kyle as Keith waistlocks. Kyle wrenches, Keith switches, but Kyle switches, only for Keith to DDT! Cover, TWO! Kyle is still in this but he clutches the neck and shoulder. The fans still rally for Kyle as Collision goes picture in picture.

Keith huffs and puffs around, stands Kyle up, and KICKS him back down! Kyle sits up, but he has his leg guard ready. Kyle kicks at Keith, Keith rolls Kyle and drops a knee! Cover, TWO! Kyle goes to a corner, but Keith TOSSES him out! Kyle slowly rises from the floor, but Keith goes out after him. Keith CHOPS Kyle, KICKS him, then refreshes the ring count. Kyle BOOTS Keith back, then KICKS him against the apron! Keith KICKS Kyle down! Keith snarls as he looms over Kyle. Keith puts Kyle in the ring, stomps him, then CHOPS! Keith whips corner to corner hard and Kyle bounces off buckles! Kyle writhes and Keith just watches as Collision goes to break.

Collision returns as Keith has Kyle down in a cravat neck wrench. Kyle endures, fights up, and throws body shots. Kyle spins Keith to then JAWBREAKER! Keith runs up to BOOT Kyle! Keith runs, but Kyle kitchen sink knees him down! Kyle then drags Keith up, but Keith sputters. The ref has Kyle hold on so he can check Keith. Keith seems alright, so Kyle fires Muay Thai knees, kicks, CHOPS, and a LEG SWEEP! Keith flounders while the fans fire up behind Kyle. Kyle runs corner to corner to forearm smash!

Cover, TWO!!! Kyle survives again and the fans fire up again! Keith runs in at the corner to GAMANGIRI! Then he goes up, reels Kyle in, but Kyle wrenches out to WRING Keith off the corner! Kyle storms up, AX AND SMASH! But Keith PELES! Both men slowly stagger to their feet, bump into each other, and snap out of their daze! Kyle blocks a kick! Keith blocks a kick! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES rock both men! Kyle yoyos in the ropes to LARIAT!!

The fans are thunderous as Kyle is all fired up! Kyle reels Keith in, suplexes, and BRAINBUSTERS!! COver, TWO!!! But Kyle has the ARMBAR!!! Keith taps, Kyle wins!!

Winner: Kyle O’Reilly, by submission

#Arm-ageddon strikes, and the Undisputed Kingdom show up to celebrate with Kyle! They even hoist Kyle on their shoulders! The fans are happy to have Kyle back, the Kingdom is happy to have Kyle back, will Kyle prove he is truly back and go for some gold?

 

Backstage interview with Deonna Purrazzo & Thunder Rosa.

Lexi is with The Virtuosa and La Mera Mera, and notes that next Wednesday, Dynamite in Toronto, they are going to have a match with Toni Storm & Mariah May. These two have never teamed together, so- Deonna stops Lexi there and says that the saying goes, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Deonna and Rosa may not have been a team, but they’ve fought each other, so Deonna knows she can trust Rosa. And what really bothers Deonna is that at Revolution, Toni tapped out. If not for Toni’s butler or her cosplaying sidekick, Deonna would be here the AEW Women’s World Champion.

Rosa says it’d also be with the title Rosa never loss. So “Antonia” and “Maria,” if you want drama, oh baby, they’ll give you drama. Next week, these two stop all the games, all the jokes, and all the “Tonitania.” They have a mission, and that means it’s TV time! Will this dynamic duo be just the thing to snap “Timeless” Toni back to reality?

 

AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament Wild Card: The House of Black w/ Julia Hart VS The Infantry!

The brackets were made just last night on Rampage, and the wild card round begins with a Collision! Will Brody King & Buddy Matthews bring glory to the House of Black? Or will Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo march right into the quarterfinals?

The teams sort out, but Brody & Buddy CLOBBER The Infantry from behind! Then they go out to RAM both men into railing! Julia watches happily as Brody runs Dean along to TOSS into more railing! Dean takes a tumble, Buddy THROWS Bravo into more railing! The fans hoot and bark, Buddy sits Bravo in a corner while Brody sits Dean up. Brody CHOPS Dean, he and Buddy both bark, and then they both run in! BOOT for Bravo, CROSSBODY for Dean! The Infantry sputters, Brody rolls into the ring, and the ref checks The Infantry. This isn’t even a match yet, will it be able to even start?

The House waits patiently, and Bravo somehow stands up. Bravo staggers into the ring, he says he wants this, and Dean says hell yeah! The bell rings, but then Brody SPLASHES Bravo in the corner! Buddy runs up to BOOT Dean down! The ref reprimands but the House and the fans bark. Brody roars then runs, CANNONBALL! Cover, DEAN BREAKS IT! Buddy drags Captain Dean up to TOSS him out, then PENALTY KICKS from the apron! The fans fire up for The House as Collision goes picture in picture.

Brody CHOPS Bravo down, then kicks him around. Brody DECKS Bravo, then stands him up to CHOP him back down! Tag to Buddy, then Brody digs his boots in! Brody lets off so Buddy can DOUBLE STOMP Bravo in the corner! Tag back to Brody, CATAPULT into a CHOP! Bravo then falls back against Buddy’s knees, and Brody adds an ELBOW DROP! Brody looms over Bravo, scuffs him, then drags him back up. Brody puts Bravo in the corner, CHOPS him back down, then tags Buddy. Buddy drags Bravo up, snapmares him, and KICKS him in the back! Bravo reaches out for Dean but Buddy drags him back.

Dean GAMANGIRIS Buddy, goes up, but slips off the top! Dean hurries to his feet, dodges Buddy’s lariat, and hits a BIG back suplex! Dean gets Buddy up, whips him, but Buddy reverses to put Dean in the House’s corner. But Dean ELBOWS Brody away! Buddy runs in, blocks Dean’s boot, but Dean ENZIGIRIS! Dean hurries to his feet, Brody tags in, but Dean whips. Buddy reverses, ducks the lariat, and waistlocks. Brody runs up, Dean BOOTS him, and he backs Buddy down at the same time! Dean fires elbows on Buddy, runs to ELBOW Brody, then SPLASHES Buddy! Brody dodges Dean’s splash to LARIAT!!

The fans fire up for The House as they loom over Dean. Bravo returns, Buddy dodges him, and Bravo sees Brody. Bravo fires up, throws a forearm, but Brody doesn’t budge! Brody shouts at Bravo, Bravo runs away but into Buddy’s POP-UP KNEE! The House drags Dean up, and sends him into DANTE’S INFERNO!! Cover, BRAVO BREAKS IT!! Bravo saves Dean, but Brody just laughs.

TABLE!” Buddy puts Bravo up there for Brody, and Brody PILEDRIVERS onto the desk!! The desk is still up somehow!! Buddy runs in at Dean, CURB STOMP!! Cover, but Buddy lets off!? The House is toying with The Infantry! Julia whispers something to Buddy and he likes that idea. The ref argues with Julia, but wait! MARK BRISCOE is here, and he CHUCKS a chair at Buddy!! Adora may’ve been banned but no one said anything about Briscoe!

Buddy falls, Mark hurries to taunt Brody and lead him on a wild goose chase! Or in this case, a chicken chase! Dean flounders his way to a cover, INFANTRY WINS!!!

Winners: The Infantry, by pinfall (advances to the quarterfinals)

Julia is shocked! She and Brody took their eyes off the ball, and now they’re out of the tournament! Malakai Black storms his way out here, furious over what just happened! Briscoe says that’s what they get, though! Will the Dark Father have to handle this himself now? As for The Infantry, can Dean & Bravo regroup and be ready for FTR?

 

Adam “Edge” Copeland is here!

Ottawa fires up as the Rated R Superstar is here, and he has that mystery case with him! He showed Christian Cage what was in it last week and it was like Captain Charisma saw a ghost! Edge already has a chair and mic waiting for him in the ring, so he sets the case down to pick up the mic. The fans cheer him on, and Edge says, “The last time that I performed here in Ottawa, I didn’t know if I’d ever perform here again, I really didn’t. But I gotta tell ya, when I walked into this arena today, all of the memories came flooding back. Because Ottawa, you and I share a lot of history. That reaction just gave me one more memory, so thank you.”

The fans cheer again, and Edge says on that note, he wasn’t sure he’d ever compete in Toronto again. The fans boo and Edge says yeah, he knows, but c’mon, that’s his hometown. But hey, this Wednesday, it is fitting that he faces a guy who for 40 years, Edge thought was his best friend. Edge takes a seat, and he tells Christian Cage, because he isn’t even gonna think of him as “Jay” anymore, that guy’s dead. Who knows what Christian has become. Actually, no, Edge does know, it’s “Christian Cage.” Christian bought into it all, his ego is out of control. The thing is, they were best friends before they ever even got into wrestling.

Sure, this business, this sport, cemented the friendship, but they were friends before ever becoming wrestlers. So Edge had thought they’d be friends long after. Sitting on their deck, sipping scotch, watching hockey, reminiscing about chasing their dreams. But not just chasing but crushing it! They did that! The fans cheer in agreement there. Edge chuckles and says fast-forward to now. Again, they’d talked about coming to AEW, and Christian was on board! Edge came here, he wanted to retire alongside Christian. Edge didn’t come here to take away Christian’s spot, to take his shine, to take the things Christian worked for and deserved.

Edge didn’t come here to do any of that, regardless of what Christian thinks, of what “that human goiter,” Nigel McGuiness has to say. But okay, that’s fine. Christian wanted to change that, right? At Worlds End, Edge failed. He isn’t used to repeated failures, they don’t exist in his world, so he picked himself up, dusted himself off, and he moved forward, and he is stronger for it. Edge decided to get to work, earn his shot, and he did the Cope Open. Edge earned his shot, and then what did Christian do? He and the Patriarchy took Edge out with a Con-Chair-to. The fans boo but Edge says that is the move he and Christian created, so maybe it was fitting.

But when Edge was out on the shelf after that, he got a phone call. A phone call from a man who in the past has had to remind Edge of who he is. That man called again and reminded Edge just who Edge is, and he decided to take a few cues from that man, another wrestling sociopath. That guy invented “Barbie,” invented “Janice,” and so Edge decided to invent… SPIKE! Edge opens up the box, and pulls out a black two-by-four with so many nails in it! Spike here is hungry and wants to take a bite outta Christian’s bony ass! The fans like the sound of that! Edge says that phone call from Mrs. Foley’s baby boy worked, Edge remembered!

Edge remembered who he is! He has kept it bottled up but he IS the Rated R Superstar, a man with dark caves in his head that Christian doesn’t and has never navigated! But be thankful for that. Though maybe not, because after this Wednesday, Christian will be in the hospital. Spike and Edge are gonna change Christian. They will take away Christian’s pride, his ego, and his manhood! This Wednesday, two kilometers from where they trained at Sonny’s Gym, Edge will make Christian say two words that will make it impossible to look his daughter in the eyes! Spike and Edge take away Christian’s pride, and make him those two words, “I QUIT!”

FORTY YEARS after this all started in their hometown, it ENDS!! The fans are fire dup, Edge looks Spike over, and you can bet Spike’s gonna get some serious screen time on Dynamite! But will Spike help Edge rip the TNT Championship away from Christian along with his pride and ego?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision here, lots of good story as well as great action. For one, Edge’s promo to close the night was great stuff, and I guess we should’ve figured “Spike” was the name of whatever was in the box. It’s a lot more menacing than what I was expecting last week, but not quite as menacing as Edge was making it sound. But win or lose, Edge is going to rely on Spike quite a bit in that match. Really good promos from Harley & Zak and Parker & Ruby. I am thinking there’s still a Mixed Tag in the near future, and that will somehow relate to Zak’s conditions.

Great tie in of the TBS Championship and the tag tournament wild card match. Adora’s stipulation basically kept this to just the House Rules of no ropebreaks and the 20 count on the outside, but of course Julia won either way. And then quite the plot twist with Mark Briscoe helping The Infantry win to screw over The House of Black. Sadly, it was also obvious Infantry was gonna win because they were the ones to get in FTR’s face, meaning they were gonna meet in the tournament. FTR will beat Infantry and move on to the semifinals, and maybe we get Mark VS Malakai 1v1 in a blowoff grudge match.

Great match from Garcia VS Moriarty to mostly give both guys solid TV time, and really good match from Pac VS Solo that Pac was of course winning. Pac had a good promo after, and while he keeps naming Tony Khan, Pac’s real target(s) should be The Elite. The Bucks are in the tag tournament, they can probably make sure security keeps Pac far away from them so Pac can’t do to them what Mark just did to the House of Black. But mostly, Pac’s probably getting his shot at Kazuchika Okada (and the AEW Continental Championship) after this Wednesday, going into Dynasty in April.

Great match from Kyle VS Keith, especially as Kyle’s first match back in literal years. Kyle of course won, and it was a good detail that The Undisputed Kingdom celebrated with him after honoring his request to do things alone. That will change at some point, though, as clearly The Kingdom isn’t the best at being friends. And then an awesome, almost PPV level match out of Bryan VS Shibata. Bryan also had a great promo to call out Ospreay, and then Claudio VS Archer was really good. It seems the BCC is starting a story with The Righteous now, which will be a big help to The Righteous as they haven’t really gotten to do anything since moving from ROH to AEW. Plus, they love violent matches, BCC loves violent matches, this is going to be some wild stuff.

My Score: 8.8/10

Best Friends won big last week against Kip Sabian & The Butcher, and they won again just last night on ROH. They’re looking to make it 3-0 going into the AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament, will they have some Freshly Squeezed momentum going into the brackets? Or will the Dark Order not be left out of the title conversation?

The teams sort out and Cassidy starts against Uno. Cassidy puts his hands up, but Uno stops him! Uno offers a handshake, the fans boo, but Cassidy takes it. So Uno makes it a headlock!

The Righteous speaks.

Vincent says, “Sometimes, you need to die a little in order to bloom again.” Dutch says, “You plant a seed in the ground for a beautiful garden to grow. But once it’s stepped and buried, left to die, new seed can be planted. Same goes for the mind.” Vinnie says someone will always say you weren’t right, that you did it wrong. But in their world, The Righteous have never made a bad move, man. The grave is just the door to rebirth. When people try to bury you, remind yourself that you are a seed. Death walks. Dig what they’re saying? Speaking of, they just dug up a special package with their names on it. Just what are The Righteous about to unleash upon AEW?

AEW hears from Queen Aminata.

“Being from Guinea, West Africa, growing up, I didn’t have a role model in sport. And I said, ‘I’ll become one. I’ll be the role model that I always wanted.’ Although I haven’t been in AEW recently, Your Queen has been juicily killing it. I am undefeated in ROH. In my way to the ROH Women’s TV Championship stands Red Velvet.” Queen Aminata tells Velvet that she is amazing, but come next Thursday, you will not stand between that title and Aminata. Aminata vows to win the title not just for herself, but for all the juicy people. And the people back home will see why she is the one, the only African Woman wrestler!

Serena Deeb speaks.

“After 15 months on the shelf, going through every test imaginable, to my spirit, to my body, to my mind, and proving to myself in the process what I knew before but reminding myself that I am absolutely undeniably unbreakable. When I walked back in this locker room, I watched the demeanor of every single woman change and then some, because they know the game just changed. I made my intensions very clear from the start: The Professor of Professional Wrestling, Serena Deeb is back! And I will become champion!” The Professor has her plan, the only questions left are when and where will she get her opportunity?

Winners: The Undisputed Kingdom, by pinfall

The AEW International Champion caps it off for himself and the ROH World Tag Team Championships! Will Taven & Bennett blaze a trail through the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament to add even more belts to the collection?


My Thoughts:

A great Rampage, great stuff going into the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament. Of course the EVPs treat themselves as the number one seed, but I also like that they’re taking on Private Party to start. The Bucks are surely winning that to avenge the huge upset from the early days of AEW. Hobbs & Fletcher for Don Callis Family is an interesting move but they’re going to have a great match with Best Friends. Cassidy & Trent VS Dark Order was a great match here tonight, and there’s a chance Cassidy & Trent make it to the quarterfinals but certainly not past The Bucks in the semifinals. And given how those brackets are made, it is very likely we get Bucks VS FTR at Dynasty.

Great tag team debut for Storm & Mariah, and I was oddly not expecting Thunder Rosa to be Deonna’s teammate. A great choice all the same, Rosa can use helping Deonna as a shortcut back to the top title. Great promos from Aminata and Deeb, especially with Aminata plugging the ROH Women’s Television Championship Tournament. Serena seems to be in a holding pattern, she’ll surely get a shot at one of the titles once we’re past Dynasty and the stories we’ve got like Storm VS Deonna and Julia VS Willow.

Awesome match from Konosuke VS Komander, and it was even funny Jericho finally got upset seeing other people use the Lionsault. Great win for Konosuke, he should also get in on a title scene but they’re all accounted for right now. And great Six Man Tag for the main event, but Undisputed Kingdom getting the win makes some sense. They’re gonna be waiting for a wild card in the next round, the “go-home math,” if that’s applicable so far out from their tournament match, indicates Kingdom will lose to Cassidy & Trent as a partial revenge on Roddy for taking the International title. Plus, Taven & Bennett have the ROH tag titles, they need to worry about defending those at Supercard of Honor or something.

My Score: 8.8/10
