AEW shares footage from after Dynamite went off the air last week.
It was after Jon Moxley defended the AEW World Championship on the Dynamite Anniversary, only for Eddie Kingston and the Lucha Brothers to turn on him! “This is what you want, huh? Big bad Jon Moxley? Ladies and gentlemen, boo me all you want, but this son of a b*tch sold out!” Moxley said to Kingston, the day he signed the contract to “The Land of Entertainers,” that “the inmates were gonna run the asylum.” And then Moxley left them all behind! Moxley met his beautiful wife but Kingston was screwed over and over! Kingston would die for this sport because it’s what he loves! None of them were there!
Kingston then had Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero M sit Moxley up while Kingston makes Moxley look at #BigPlatinum. Look at it, you SOB! Enjoy it while you can. Kingston is going to make Moxley quit this business. Moxley will quit but Kingston never did, you SOB. You’ll pay for leaving them behind! And so it’s official! Full Gear, the AEW World Championship will be defended in an I QUIT match!! Will Kingston get his revenge on Moxley in the most brutal way possible?
AEW hears from Jon Moxley.
“When Eddie Kingston signed a contract with AEW, nobody was happier about it than me, because nobody understands better where Eddie comes from, what he has grinded through for the last 18 years. I loved Eddie Kingston.” Moxley keeps his circle tight because true friends are hard to come by. Moxley loved Eddie’s honesty, loyalty and integrity, but he doesn’t know this Eddie. This bitter, miserable, whiny, entitled Eddie who thinks Moxley owes him something. Moxley will not apologize for his success, for buying his mother a new home, for spending THOUSANDS of days on the road, running his body into the ground, all so his family could have a better life than he ever had!
“Through all these years, no matter what problems you created for yourself, who always had your back?” Moxley was proud to share the ring with Kingston on 9/23/20. But the aftermath embarrassed Moxley. Kingston defending, “I never tapped! I never tapped!” No, you didn’t, because you were too busy blowing snot bubbles and going to sleep. So Moxley makes this real simple. He ends this 11/7/20, Full Gear’s I Quit match. Kingston will verbalize it in front of the entire world as Moxley beats and tortures him! He either gets his friend back, or ends Eddie. That way, finally, when things don’t go his way, Eddie will only have himself to blame. Who will win when there won’t be anything holding them back but two little words?
AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament: Kenny Omega VS Joey Janela Sonny Kiss!
As much as the Bad Boy wants to be a contender, as much as he wants payback on the Cleaner for that infamous Unsanctioned match last year, his body could not get him to this point. Therefore, the Concrete Rose will look to avenge Joey Janela while also getting his own golden opportunity! But can Kiss conquer the AAA Mega Champion, the 2018 PWI Top 500’s #1 wrestler in the world and the man to defy the Wrestling Observer’s 5 star system seven times? In other words, can Kiss beat the Best Mount Machine?
Wow, what an entrance. Omega even has “cleaner girls” dancing for him before the pyro. The bell rings, Omega circles with Kiss and they shake hands to show sportsmanship. They tie up, and Omega V-TRIGGERS! And then Electric Chair to ONE WINGED ANGEL!! Cover, Omega wins!
Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall (advances to the semifinals)
Omega stays seated after that victory, soaking in how he just got the fastest win this tournament will see. He even insists the ref raise his hand while he’s seated. The ref does as asked, and Omega shows some sportsmanship by helping Kiss up. Omega gives it up to Kiss, but it seems a bit sarcastic and mocking. Is the Cleaner going to sweep his way to the tournament finals?
Tony Schiavone interviews Orange Cassidy.
One week ago, Freshly Squeezed took Cody to the time limit draw for the TNT Championship. What are his thoughts on that match? Cassidy says sometimes calls go your way, and sometimes they don’t. Well that match impacts the road to Full Gear as he and Cody will have a rematch! What has Cassidy done to prepare for Cody? “We’re on in Cincinnati.” No, they’re still going to be in Jacksonville. Whatever. Cassidy is still casual as ever, but will he be the most serious and determined he’s ever been in his entire life when he has one more shot at the title?
Dasha interviews Cody and Coach Arn Anderson as they pull into the arena.
Dasha doesn’t mean to bug them, but she wants a quick word about the rematch with Cassidy next week. Cody isn’t surprised AEW wants this rematch, but is surprised at how quickly they want it. Cody’s hearing whispers about a stipulation being added and that is fine. He’ll echo what Arn said last week: Champion’s Advantage. Cassidy had to beat Cody in the time limit, he couldn’t, Cody doesn’t see it happening next week. But Cody apparently gained 14 pounds during hiatus? Arn confirms that is all muscle. Is there a goal in mind with that? Cody says it was finally time for him to “genuinely shift into heavyweight territory.”
The company may have mostly lightweight talent but looking at Cody having matches with Jake Hager, Lance Archer, Mr. Brodie Lee, Cody doesn’t want to add work to Justin Roberts’ load, but Cody feels like a Giant Killer. But it’s time! Cody has today off and is excited to be EVP and watch others fighting their way towards #PrettyPlatinum. Will Cody throw that new weight around to deny Cassidy again and then head for Full Gear and Darby Allin?
Eddie Kingston speaks.
“Mox! HAHAHAHA!” Hold on, he’s gotta wipe away the tears from laughing so hard. Before he gets to Moxley, he’ll go to his family first. Because unlike Mox, Kingston doesn’t forget his people. Penta, Fenix, they’re in the tournament against each other in a matter of moments, and will show us all why they’re the best ever to come out of Mexico and the best ever! Then there’s Butcher & Blade, with the beautiful Bunny back by their side, ready to knock out all the other teams in that Fatal 4 Way to then take on FTR. And after those guys, guess what? They’ll all want to make phone calls to their old bosses and beg them to take them back.
Speaking of old bosses and entertainers, “let’s get a little reality here.” Everything Moxley said was true. Kingston had to turn that way. He had to become a bitter snake and a liar, and this and that. Do you think he can face himself in the mirror now? NO! He hates who he has become! But he HAD to become this! He had to become someone who gets under your skin, because his ends justify the means. When he wasn’t playing the game that way, he got nothing! But now he has a world heavyweight championship shot in an I Quit match. Kingston’s never quit nothing, and he won’t quit on November 7th. Moxley and Kingston are going to go to a really dark place. That is where Kingston lives. Will Kingston feel right at home doing unspeakable things to Moxley?
AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament: Rey Fenix VS Penta El Zero M!
The Lucha Brothers are definitely two of the best, both on their own and united together! But who is going to prove they’re the best between the two of them and take one step closer to the world championship?
Kingston comes out to watch on commentary as these two do battle. He admits that he’d love to face either one of his two best friends here. That’s what competition is all about. The bell rings and fans are fired up already! Fenix offers his brother a handshake, but Penta hesitates. Penta offers it back, and Fenix takes it. They’re still brothers no matter what! And the fans chant for them both as they tie up. Penta gets around, waistlocks, Fenix gets the arm and hammerlocks. Penta standing switches, Fenix headlocks and fights off the back suplex.

Penta rushes Fenix, Fenix side steps but Penta sees the back drop coming! He reels Fenix in but Fenix fights off the package driver and runs, tiger feint heel kick!

Fenix goes up top, leaps, TORNILLO CROSSBODY! Eddie says that’s why Fenix is one of, if not THE best, high-flyer today! Direct hit and Fenix puts Penta in. Penta tries to boot back but gets caught up in the ropes! Fenix forearms then goes up top again, for the tightrope walk, only for Penta to trip him up! Fenix tumbles down into the ring and Penta stalks up behind him. Fans rally as AEW goes picture in picture.
Penta KICKS Fenix’s leg out so hard, Fenix flips through the air! Penta nods as he looms over his brother. Fenix sits up, eggs Penta on and then CHOPS back! Penta BUZZSAWS him down! Cover, TWO! Penta hears the fans cheer as he drags Fenix to ropes. Penta chokes Fenix! The ref counts, Penta lets off at 4 and apologizes to the ref. He follows Fenix out, runs and KICKS him against the post! Penta brings Fenix around and throws hands. Fenix hits back but Penta whips him HARD into railing! Fenix writhes, Penta gives his glove to someone at ringside then follows Fenix back into the ring. Fenix flounders out and leans on the apron skirt but Penta goes out after him. Penta has Fenix against the post, to CHOP him again! Fenix falls but Penta revels in the cheers.
Penta stalks Fenix around the way, has him against the post again, but Fenix dodges and Penta chops post!! Fenix runs, Penta puts him on the apron and SUPERKICKS him down! Both Lucha Brothers are down on the outside and a ring count begins! AEW returns to single picture as fans cheer, “This is Awesome!” The count is at 5 before Penta stands.

Winner: Rey Fenix, by pinfall (advances to the semifinals)
The Firebird rose from the ashes and even took advantage of his brother’s hesitation to take victory from the jaws of defeat! Penta is frustrated, perhaps more with himself, and isn’t in the mood to celebrate. Will the Lucha Brothers stick together despite how this turned out?
AEW hears from Best Friends, Kip Sabian and Miro.
In response to how Kip Sabian and Miro reacted to the arcade cabinet mishap, “Fellas, we know a thing or two about people breaking stuff you like.” Trent’s mom’s van got wrecked. But the difference is, what Santana and Ortiz did was on purpose. What happened here was an accident. Superbad Sabian responds by saying, “ALAN, the Automated Logistics Arcade Network, was one of a kind!” And it was Kip’s most prized possession! Miro says he was trying to be nice, but Trent literally broke that! So now, it’s #GameOver! Will the Superbad and the Best Man be Trent’s and Chuck’s worst nightmares?
Alex Marvez interviews Colt Cabana, Alex Reynolds and John Silver.
BOOM BOOM and the Beaver Boys are representing The Dark Order’s dominance, with Reynolds & Silver in the tag team title contender’s Fatal 4, and Cabana in the world title contender eliminator tournament. Reynolds says tonight is their biggest opportunity, “and if Mr. Brodie’s taught us anything, it’s to seize every opportunity that you get.” SEIZE IT! Mr. Brodie gave them the chance to become stars in AEW, and they’ve done just that. Now they’ll seize a new opportunity and become #1 contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Cabana agrees, his friends will get the tag titles, and he is on a mission to become AEW World Champion! Cabana sees this as a sign from the Exalted One! He has a great singles record with his friends- They say they’re not his friends. Well, okay. But Cabana feels zero pressure.
Pressure?! What does Cabana know about pressure!? The entire Dark Order is under pressure to succeed! Silver doesn’t like Cabana, but he does feel Cabana will be the next world champion while he and Reynolds will be the next tag team champions! Then Mr. Brodie will win back the AEW TNT Championship! Next week, Cody has a match with “that jokester, Orange Cassidy,” but this time, THE ENTIRE Dark Order will be there! No matter who wins, Brodie and Silver will beat them up and beat them down to get back that belt! Check out these babies! “BRODIE! BRODIE!” Well, Cabana’s got to get going for his match, will he get past the Hangman? Reynolds will take care of Silver being extra hyped. Will R3ynolds and SiIVer take care of Private Party, Butcher & Blade and The Young Bucks to make Brodie proud?

Uno is disappointed, but the rest of the Dark Order storms out! Stu Grayson, Alan Angels and Preston Vance are… Actually helping Cabana up? They’re being nice to Cabana? Has Uno managed to convince the others to give Cabana a chance? As for Hangman, will he have to fight even harder to get past Wardlow?
Sammy Guevara has become obsessed.
The Spanish God was almost BROKEN by Matt Hardy, and is now determined to end this FOR GOOD. He has a picture marked 11/7/20, for Full Gear. Will it be Sammy who DELETES the legacy of Matt Hardy?
AEW returns to Team Taz onstage.
Taz is flanked by Ricky Starks and Brian Cage as he says, “Here’s the deal, we’ve got two problems. Number one, Will Hobbs.” A couple weeks ago, right here on Dynamite, Taz made an offer to Hobbs to join Team Taz, the most prestigious group in AEW and all of pro-wrestling! Hobbs has yet to answer them! Is Hobbs some kind of top guy big shot now? Taz tells Hobbs to answer quickly, because the last thing he wants is Brian Cage coming after him again. #WhoBetta?
And number two, Darby Allin getting an opportunity at the TNT Championship at Full Gear! This absolutely burns Taz up! Taz shows up, minding his business, and sees the owner, Tony Khan. Tony asks Taz if he has a second. Taz says yes, they walk into his office and close the odor. Tony tells Taz, “Do you realize that if Ricky Starks would’ve been victorious over Darby Allin a few weeks ago, that Ricky Starks would have the opportunity at Full Gear to wrestle for the TNT Championship?” NO KIDDING! Starks, who has won his last nine out of 10 matches? Starks, who fell victim to some BS finish?! Why does Darby get everything he needs and wants? What about Cage and Starks? What do they get?
Starks says he has “consistently showed up, showed out and showed off, just to have the rug pulled from underneath me!” Starks has proven his worth, in spades! But now Starks has to watch some other guy get his opportunity at the TNT Championship and be okay with it? NO! Somebody’s gonna pay, and it ain’t gonna be AEW or Tony. It’s gonna be Darby! Zoom in on this. Starks promises that, though Darby isn’t on his level, “I don’t know when, and I don’t know where, but I put this on everything that I love! When you and I meet again, Darby, I am putting you in the grave, you half face-painted little B*TCH!” Strong words from a very strong stable, but will they get what they deserve soon enough?
It’s time for Le Dinner Debonair!
Chris Jericho and Maxwell Jacob Friedman are already seated at their table for two, and Le Champion already sits A Little Bit o’ the Bubbly. MJF has red wine instead. The waitress, Velma, comes by and says MJF is already enjoying a nice glass of their wine. Don’t stretch it. He’s had better. Thelma, was it? Jericho corrects MJF, it’s Velma, with a V. Ah, okay. Well Thelma, here’s MJF’s order. A 20 ounce porterhouse, baked potato on the side, “and I’m gonna need that sucker well done.” Jericho chuckles. Jericho tells Velma that he would love his own 20 ounce porterhouse, with a baked potato, but cooked medium well. MJF “apologizes” to the waitress, and wants her to strike his order. He now wants his porterhouse medium.
Jericho now changes his mind, and says he wants his porterhouse changed to medium rare. In that case, MJF changes his mind and makes his porterhouse to be rare. Jericho changes his mind again, to make his steak BLUE! AKA EXTRA BLOODY RARE! Well, okay… Velma takes the order back as this, and Jericho asks MJF what they’re doing. They’ve sat here 20 minutes, barely said a word and MJF’s been rude to everyone. Who? To the valet, the old lady on the steps. They’re gonna have this Inner Circle Town Hall Meeting next week, talk to the “man on the street” as to the “general consensus” of whether MJF should join. Jericho isn’t sure they should bother anymore. MJF wants to cut through the bull. They both know this is a gigantic opportunity for both of them. They’re the two biggest starts in wrestling today. The Demo God and the Ratings Ruler!
Jericho wants to “cut through the bull,” too. The nickname, Ratings Ruler, sucks. MJF says people love it. No, it’s terrible. It’s got as much chance of getting over as… They both say, “Orange Cassidy.” They share a laugh, and MJF says they’re already working on their differences. Just picture the two of them, together. Is this turning into a musical number? It is.
MJF: “Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall.”
Y2J: “Like the sea shark lives in the sea~!”
MJF: “Like you’ll never get rid of your shadow~, Chris, you’ll never get rid of me!”
Y2J: “Let all the others fight and fuss!”
Both: “Whatever happens, we’ve~ got~ us~!”
Wait now there are chorus girls?
Y2J: “Me~… and~… my~ shaaadow~!”
MJF: “We’re closer than pages that stick in a book. We’re closer than ripples that play in a brook. So wherever you find him, you’ll find me, just look! Closer than a recliner thrown at Hardy’s forehead geyser. Me…”
Y2J: “We’re closer than snakes as they slide through the grass! We’re closer than Cody is to a jackass!”
Both: “Not a soul can bust this team in two! We stick together like glue!”
Now they dance with some of the chorus girls…
Y2J: “And when it’s sleeping time~!”
MJF: “That’s when we rise~!”
Y2J: “We start to swing!”
MJF: “Sing to the skies~!”
Y2J: “Our clocks don’t chime!”
MJF: “What a surprise~!”
Both: “They ring, a-ding-ding, Happy New Year!”
Y2J: “Me~… and~… my~ shaaadow~!”
MJF: “And not to repeat what I said at the start~! You’ll need a large crowbar to break us apart~!”
Both: “We’re alone but far from blue~… Before we get finished, we’ll make the town roar! We’ll hit all the late spots and then a few more!”
Y2J: “We’ll wind up at Daily’s and then the fourth floor!”
Both: “Life is gonna be wee-wowie, for myyy~ shaaadooow~ aaand meeeee~!”
Hey, can Chris do him a favor? What’s that, Max? Can he take it one more time? From the top? No, the ending! Wonderful! “And while we are swinging, to mention a few, we’ll drop in a Chili’s, hey Young Bucks, screw you!” They’ll beat up Moxley, whatever they do! Life’s gonna be wee-wowie, for MYYY~ SHADOW AAAND MEEEEEE~! The fans applaud that number as the two sit back down, in time for their… very tender steaks… This is gross. Send these backs. Velma/Thelma! And scene!
Britt Baker w/ Rebel VS KiLynn King!
The Doctor is back in action, and Tony Schiavone reads her notes. Britt is wearing pink because of Breast Cancer Awareness, and these notes are being read at the threat of a back hand slap and more chest waxing… Will Britt try and wax the floors with the Queen of Crazy?
The bell rings and Britt circles with King. They tie up, Britt hammerlocks then headlocks but King pries out to wrench to a wristlock. Britt spins through, wrenches and waistlocks to a snapmare and chinlock. King slips out the back, wrenches to a wristlock, but Britt slips around to wristlock and takedown. Cover, ONE, Britt still has the wrist. Britt wrenches, King rolls and spins to switch the wristlock and drop toehold Britt down! King hammerlocks, Britt gets up and rolls to drag King down. Britt turns King over, goes for the Rings of Saturn but King counters to a cover, TWO! Britt kicks but King blocks and shoves it, ripcord and arm-drag, but Britt keeps the wrist again!

Back in action and back on track, Britt Baker DMD continues to manhandle mandibles! Will Britt be heading for the AEW Women’s World Championship soon enough?
AEW announces big matches for next week!
While the semifinals of the eliminator tournament features Omega VS Fenix and Wardlow VS Hangman, the women’s division will get spooky scary as ABADON returns to Dynamite! Will the Living Dead Girl devour the soul of Tay Conti? And, given the ominous threat issued by Silver on behalf of the Dark Order, and how Cody heard of the stipulation talk for the rematch, the TNT Championship will now be a LUMBERJACK MATCH! The entirety of the Dark Order will be ringside, but so will Jurassic Express, The Hybrid2, the Gunn Club and the Natural Nightmares! Will Cody have enough allies present to hold the Dark Order at bay? Will he and Cassidy be able to have a result within the time limit?
AEW also has Full Gear news!
Given Sammy Guevara’s obsession with Matt Hardy, they will face each other one more time! It will be known as THE ELITE DELETION! What will happen and who will survive?
Darby Allin and Steve-O have a message.
Steve-O knows we know that Darby will be competing for the TNT Championship at Full Gear. Clearly, there’s something really wrong with him, because before then, he’s doing this! There’s a body bag with the words, “FACE OF TNT” spray-painted on it! Darby gets in, and even Steve-O knows this is bad. A la the glory days of Jackass, “I’m Darby Allin, and this is the Body Bag Roll In.” Darby tucks himself in, and rolls down his quarter pipe! Darby makes it to the bottom, unzips the bag and says, “**** I’m winning that TNT Championship!” If Darby is willing to go this far to prove a point, how far will he go to hold the gold?
AEW World Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Fatal 4 Way: The Butcher & The Blade w/ The Bunny VS Private Party w/ Matt Hardy VS The Dark Order’s Alex Reynolds & John Silver VS The Young Bucks!
Andy Williams and Braxton Sutter have Allie back by their side, and that alone makes them even more motivated to win this match! Will they chop up Marq Quen, Isiah Kassidy, the Beaver Boys and the Jackson brothers to do it? Will Quen & Kassidy finally have their SHOTS SHOTS? Will Numbers 3 and 4 be the #1 contenders? Or will the arguably best team of over a decade finally be vindicated after all their vicious ambush superkicks?
AEW returns as FTR has joined commentary, and as Matt and Nick Jackson make their entrances. In this kind of Fatal 4 Way tag, only two teams are active, so it’s Reynolds for the Dark Order and Nick for the Bucks that start this off. Nick and Reynolds circle, tie up, and Reynolds wrenches to a wristlock. Nick cartwheels and dropkicks Reynolds down! Silver tags in but runs into an arm-drag! Nick drags Silver up, tags Matt in, and Matt climbs to double stomp the arm! Matt drags Silver up, steps over and arm-drags again, but Blade tags in off Silver! Nick tags in, Matt baits Blade into a drop toehold for Nick’s slingshot leg drop! The Bucks double dropkick Blade, Butcher gets in but misses the clotheslines. The Bucks kick low, Nick runs and Matt gives him the boost, alley-oop dropkick!
Fans fire up with the Bucks as they wait for someone to step up. Matt backs out as Kassidy comes in. Fans cheer, “SHOTS! SHOTS!” as Kassidy and Nick tie up. They go shoulder to shoulder, Kassidy gets Nick against ropes and uses that to monkey flip but Nick sprawls to stop it halfway! Kassidy pushes Nick away, goes up and springboards but Nick avoids the arm-drag. Things speed up, Kassidy huricanranas Nick but Nick comes back to trip. Kassidy kicks Nick down, they both kip up, but Nick kicks low! Nick sends Kassidy to the corner, Kassidy goes up and over but Matt tags in. Nick throws a superkick but Kassidy avoids that! Quen tags in, and we have a stand-off of that inaugural tag title tournament opener.
The Bucks egg Private Party on so Quen and Kassidy swing clotheslines. The Bucks duck and come back, but the superkicks are blocked! Private Party set the feet down, the Bucks applaud the sportsmanship, and shake hands. But PRIVATE PARTY DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! They weren’t falling for the same trick twice! Butcher and Blade get in to attack, but so does the Dark Order! The Numbers and the mercs stomp and club down the Bucks and Private Party. The ref tries to sort things out, but Blade lifts Kassidy, he and Butcher combine for a CHOKE SLAM BACK SUPLEX! The ref counts, the Dark Order gets out, as do Butcher and Blade. Blade tags in off Quen to go after Matt. Blade CHOPS Matt but Matt haymakers. They brawl with big hands back and forth but Blade knees low. Blade whips but Matt rolls under, tag to Quen!
Quen ducks Blade and PELES! Reynolds runs in but into an atomic drop! Dropkick! Silver’s in, Quen gets under him for an atomic drop and another dropkick! Butcher gets in, pops Quen up but Quen dropkicks him, too! Quen kips up and fans fire up as Private Party has the ring! Quen runs, DIVES, and hits Blade down! Quen goes in and FLIES out onto Silver! And then he goes up top to FLY onto Reynolds! Fans are fired up even more as FTR disapproves. After all, they’re No Flips, Just Fists. Quen gets in, runs, but Allie stands in the way! Butcher gets around and into the ring, Blade back suplexes but Quen lands on his feet! Quen shoves Blade into Butcher then scoop slams Blade! Quen goes to another corner and the top rope, for a SHOOTING STAR PRESS! Cover, but Butcher breaks it!
Butcher drags Quen right up for an URENAGE! Blade DECKS Kassidy off the apron and he drags Quen up as AEW goes picture in picture.
Matt Hardy checks on Kassidy but SAMMY attacks!! His obsession wouldn’t let him leave Hardy alone tonight! Sammy throws haymakers but Hardy hits back and they go into railing and all around ringside! Then even past the stage! It’s a momentary distraction for everyone in the ring, even as Blade drags Quen from the Party corner. No one knows what to make of it, but Silver tags in off Blade! Silver drags Quen up, throws haymakers, then KICKS Quen off his feet! Silver double guns but Blade tags back in! Silver says he and Blade can work together! They drag Quen up, double whip, then double elbow! See? Silver says Blade could #JoinDarkOrder if he wants! Reynolds agrees. Butcher could join, too! The four discuss it, but Allie is reason enough NOT to join anything. Maybe Silver and Reynolds will ditch Dark Order to join the family? Yeah, no, Blade and Butcher CLOBBER the Beaver Boys!
Blade digs his knees into Quen, then he and Butcher BLAST the Bucks off the apron! And they BOOT Kassidy down, too! They go out and drag Matt up to throw over railing! And Nick into railing! Blade fireman’s carries Kassidy to feed to Butcher’s GUT BUSTER! Then Butcher fireman’s carries to TOSS Kassidy at Matt! Butcher and Blade get back in the ring, rush Quen in the corner, but Quen elbows Blade and boots Butcher! Quen hops up, leaps, double missile dropkick! Silver tags in and drags Quen up to throw forearms! Silver whips, Quen holds ropes and dumps Silver out! Silver holds on, Quen throws forearms. Quen goes to a corner but Silver KICKS him down! Then CANNONBALLS Blade! And UPPERCUTS Butcher, and BOOTS Nick, and then LEAPS onto Matt and Kassidy! Johnny Hungie just barreled through the field!
Silver gets up top and fans fire up! Silver aims, leaps, but Quen dodges! Reynolds tags in, Quen runs in but Silver dodges to KNEE him back! Silver feeds Quen to Reynolds’ ROLLING ELBOW! Silver enziguris, Reynolds STUNNERS, Silver GERMAN SUPLEXES! Jackknife cover, but the Bucks break it! The Dark Order throws the Bucks out and fans are fired up! Silver and Reynolds coordinate and drag Quen up. Quen fights out of the double suplex, Reynolds ducks so the enziguri hits Silver! Quen dodges Reynolds to hot tag Kassidy! Kassidy slingshots up and over Reynolds’ shoulder, comes back but Quen helps with the SILLY STRING! Private Party have opposite corners, HARDY PARTY COMBO! The splash and the leg drop hit! Cover, but the Bucks break it again!
The mercs return, through the Bucks out, and then drag Reynolds’ dead weight to the corner. Blade tags in, haul Kassidy up, backbreaker and suplexes, FULL DEATH!! Cover, but the Bucks break it again!! Butcher clubs Nick, Blade throws Matt out and Butcher throws Nick out. But the Bucks stay on the apron, they bait Butcher in and dump him out, then ROCK Blade with a forearm! Nick tags off Blade, Matt hotshots Blade away! Nick goes in, aims at the Beaver Boys, and gives him his signature combo! Roundhouse, back kick, spin kick! Corner shining wizard, BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO! Fans fire up with Nick as he builds speed and goes to the apron, PENALTY KICK for Kassidy, PENALTY KICK for Quen! Nick goes around the way to LEAP onto Butcher and Blade! And he lands on his feet! FTR has to admit that was good, but still only second best in the world.
Nick puts Kassidy in, fans know “This is Awesome!” but far from over! The Bucks coordinate and call for the party! The SUPERKICK PARTY! And it starts with Butcher! They drag Butcher around, then bring Kassidy up. Nick goes up and calls out FTR as Matt gut wrenches Kassidy. “Watch this!” DROPKICK SENTON INDIETAKER!! Nick kicks Kassidy in the back to land on Butcher while Matt drives Kassidy down! Cover, but Silver, Blade AND Quen break it! They return the favor for all those other near falls! Fans love “Tag Team Wrestling!” as it continues! Matt is seething as he drags Kassidy up. Kassidy cradle counters, TWO!! Matt escapes another upset, then runs at Kassidy, but misses in the corner! But Nick trips Quen off the apron! Matt decks Blade and then drags Kassidy from Silver! Kassidy kicks Matt away, Nick grabs at Silver and drags him down! Kassidy is isolated!
Fans rally but Kassidy is caught in the gut wrench again. Nick springboards but Quen trips him up! Further flashbacks to that upset as Kassidy victory rolls! TWO and Matt has the cover! Nick keeps Quen out, The Bucks WIN!!
Winners: The Young Bucks, by pinfall (NEW #1 contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships)
That was so close, but in the end, Matt and Nick pull it off! And FTR says it’s finally time. FTR goes to the ring with some beers to say cheers to their challengers. The Bucks SLAP the beers away! But in comes someone with a chair! Who is that? The chair shot didn’t really do much, either. But FTR attack the Bucks anyway! Matt is down first but Nick fights a little longer. FTR drags Nick to a corner, the mystery man goes up top, SUPER MIND BREAKER! And FTR mug Matt! And they put the leg around a foot! The mystery man helps them keep Matt down and Cash Wheeler goes up top! STOMP TO THE CHAIR!! The mystery man is TULLY BLANCHARD! FTR had an insurance policy to make sure even the winners were losers!
Matt keeps trying to fight with his good leg but Nick and the referees keep him back for his own sake. The Bucks are contenders, but will they still be challengers after this?
My Thoughts:
An incredible episode that was properly dominated by the contender’s tournament and capped off by the Fatal 4 Tag. Britt was the one match not at all related to any of that, and it was a pretty good return match that bordered on AEW Dark squash. Obviously Britt was going to win, and I’m expecting her to participate in a big contender’s match AEW has planned in the next week or so. That match will then be blown to hell by Nyla Rose as she and Vickie Guerrero demand Hikaru Shida accept the rematch challenge as issued on a previous Dark. The only other thing not related to the various contenders matches was Le Dinner Debonair, and THAT was incredible! I first thought it was weird for them to do a musical number, but MJF surprised me with his moderate singing skills. And the overall acting in the scene was really good, especially how they topped it off with the realization they ordered essentially raw meat.
Still other things not related to the contenders matches: I love that I called the I Quit match for Moxley VS Kingston at Full Gear. The promos were great stuff, that match is going to be insane, and yet I can’t say Moxley loses. In fact, I feel like the only match Moxley might lose in the foreseeable future is when someone from NJPW finally faces him for the IWGP United States Championship, as NJPW already gave out the contender contract. Darby had a great Jackass inspired promo, but Team Taz also had great promos. I wonder if Team Taz interferes in Darby VS TNT Champion, Will Hobbs rushes out, and that is when we see whether or not Hobbs joins up or stands against them. Cody and Cassidy had great promos, too, and the Lumberjack match is a great idea for this rematch, given all the story swirling around the TNT title.
I like that Jungle Boy and Wardlow opened the night. In kayfabe, everyone acts like that’s going to be fast, but it was great for JB to put up a fight against Wardlow, even if he was going to lose. Wardlow did a much safer F10 tonight than he did on AEW Dark, at least in appearance. A shame Janela had to sit out because of apparent health concerns, COVID being the main one, but what a way for Omega to get a lot of progress in his character change. That extra long introduction to brag for him, then just SQUASHING Sonny Kiss, that’s some powerful Heel stuff. Cabana VS Hangman was really good, especially with Evil Uno being there to play up the Dark Order story. Of course Hangman won, but I really liked this change in Dark Order’s attitude. There might be battle lines drawn within the group, just on the issue of whether they still like Cabana or not.
And of course, best singles match of the night, Fenix VS Penta with Eddie on commentary, great stuff. Tension is mounting between the brothers again, despite Eddie getting them to be on the same page these last few weeks. Who knows how that goes as I don’t see Fenix beating Omega. Omega VS Page has to be the finals, it just makes too much sense. The tag Fatal 4 was incredible, too, even the part where Sammy shows up to go after Hardy. Everyone in the match looked great, FTR did pretty good on commentary, but naturally the Bucks win. I didn’t expect Tully to show up and help FTR beat the Bucks up, I thought this was going to be the moment Tully merged his clients as Shawn Spears would help FTR. But the twist of them going after Matt’s leg like that was good, too. I don’t think it’ll take the Bucks out of Full Gear but it’ll put them behind the proverbial 8 ball, adding a little extra something to a dream match everyone was already excited for. It will be a bit of a rip if this is why FTR wins, but maybe it means they want to make a match at AEW Revolution or even Double or Nothing 2021 feel that much bigger.
My Score: 9.2/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Jon Moxley heads to the ring!
Indianapolis, Indiana fires up as the NEW IWGP World Heavyweight Champion walks in from the back of the crowd! The Maniac shocked the world when he defeated Tetsuya Naito in Chicago and added NJPW’s top prize to his already incredible list of accolades. Moxley goes to the ring, gets the mic, and the fans chant for him as he says, “One of the first championships I ever won, y’know, Salvation Army Community Center at Fountain Square right here in Indianapolis.” The fans cheer that! Moxley continues by saying even back then 20 years ago, he was swimming up stream, never had help.
In fact, a lot of people tired to tell him what he can and can’t do, what he can and can’t accomplish. His words to those people now is the same as back then: kiss his ass and watch him! Watch as he climbs mountain after mountain after mountain. Because being great is not about what others say, it’s about what’s inside. Now, if you didn’t know, this is THE IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. The fans chant “You Deserve It!” and Moxley say this title is steeped in history, illustrious to the extreme, and he has been chasing it for five years. Five years of pain, heartache, wins and losses, pints of sweat and blood, thousands of miles across the ocean.
Five years ago, people said Moxley holding this title, and live on American TV, was impossible. But it wasn’t impossible. Not if they knew what was inside Moxley. That is what this is all about. When your back is against he wall, how deep can you dig? When you feel you have nothing left, choking on your own blood, how deep are you willing to dig and how far are you willing to go? Are you willing to dare to show the world how great you are? THAT is what AEW is about! The fans cheer that, too! Moxley says this brings him to his point: The Don Callis Family. The fans boo now, but Moxley continues.
There are very talented individuals in league with Don Callis. Don Callis is a creep. The fans cheer that! Moxley says he has no time for Callis, but he is feeding these guys lies and those guys are buying it. And then those guys put a hit out and tried to hurt Moxley’s friend and teammate, Bryan Danielson. Now, if you’re putting a target on Bryan’s back, you might as well put one on Moxley’s. You wanna get violent? You wanna be tough guys? Well, you’re welcome to come find Moxley, he’ll be here all night. But he suspects that maybe, he’s not their type. What he could do is run up on them with a tire iron. He could run them over in the parking lot.
But he gets the sense that that wont’ teach the DCF anything. So he’ll pick the biggest, baddest, meanest one of all of ’em, “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, and challenge Hobbs to a match one week from tonight in the main event of Dynamite in Jacksonville, Florida. Hobbs will accept, because in that match, Hobbs will find out just how out of his depths he is stepping to the IWGP World Champion. Because Moxley won’t make it quick or easy. He will drag Hobbs to the deepest waters that there are, and Hobbs will look around and see no shore. When he asks the ref for the rescue, Hobbs will know the difference between him and Moxley, and that Callis is feeding him lies.
Hobbs will know that he, like everyone else in this business, NO ONE can touch Moxley! There are a lot of great wrestlers in this world, but there is and only ever will be ONE Jon Moxley! The fans fire up for that, but will Hobbs survive the homecoming at Daily’s Place?
Mercedes Mone speaks.
“Last week, somebody attacked me in the dark because they were too afraid to face me in the light. But as the CEO, I always get right back up. And as the CEO, I can’t wait to pay back that b*tch that attacked me last week. Lights off, huh? That sounds a little too familiar, Julia Hart.” Mercedes didn’t think Julia was the kind to be a coward. Or maybe, it was someone who wants us to think it’s Julia? Maybe it’s someone who doesn’t wanna face Mercedes when she’s healthy. Either way, Mercedes puts the entire division on notice, and she will watch that Mixed Tag Match. But remember this: There’s a price to pay when you mess with Mone.
Mixed Tag Match: Adam “Edge” Copeland & Willow Nightingale VS Brody King & Julia Hart!
Speaking of that Mixed Tag, Dynamite is about to get Rated R as the TNT Champion and the Babe with the Power are stepping to the King of Death and the TBS Champion! Will Copeland & Willow have the edge going into Dynasty? Or will even now, The House Always Win?
Wait! Willow is down and out! A medic checks her but she says she’s fine. Kris Statlander & Stokely Hathaway aren’t so sure, but there is Dynasty to think about. And then the lights go out in the arena! And when they come back up, surprise! Brody is in the ring and he CLOBBERS Edge! Julia laughs from the stage as Brody TOSSES Edge out. The fans hoot and bark as Brody whips Edge hard into the barriers! Brody CHOPS Edge, stalks him, then whips him into more barriers! Brody makes Edge take a seat, fires off forearms, then hoots as he gets space. The fans hoot along and Brody comes back, to CROSSBODY Edge against the LEDs!
Brody stands, the ref reprimands but this isn’t even a match yet! Did the House just take out their enemies in quick fashion? Edge crawls towards the ring, he isn’t gonna let the House have their way! Edge drags himself up to the apron and into the ring, and the fans fire up as the bell rings! Brody runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Edge falls over, Brody storms around, then Brody drags Edge up as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Brody CHOS Edge, has him on ropes, and CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Brody steps back, and Julia gets a cheap shot in! Then she CHOKES Edge while the ref is still busy with Brody! Brody storms up on Edge, suplexes high and hard, then stalks up behind Edge. Brody drags Edge up, ROCKS him, and Edge ends up in a corner. Brody digs his boots in, the ref counts again, but Brody lets off at 4. Edge sits down in the corner and Brody gives him scuffing, toying kicks. Brody lets off to stand Edge up, and CHOP him down! Brody CHOKES Edge on ropes again, but lets off as the ref counts.
Edge sputters, Brody drags him around, and Brody whips Edge hard into the corner! Edge falls, Brody storms up and stands on Edge’s face, but the ref counts. Brody steps back, Edge goes to the apron, but Julia is there to CHOKE him! The ref is none the wiser and Julia mocks the fans. Brody has Edge under ropes for the GUILLOTINE CATAPULT! Brody drags Edge back up, and CHOPS him to a corner. Brody CHOPS again, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Brody hoists Edge up top. Brody climbs up to rain down fists! Brody only goes to three before he hauls Edge up, but Edge fights the superplex!
The fans fire up as Edge and Brody trade body shots. Edge then HEADBUTTS away on Brody, and BITES his forehead! Edge DECKS Brody off the corner, then adjusts. Brody stands, Edge FLYING LARIATS! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Julia coaches Brody, he sits up to fire a forearm! Edge fires back, they go shot for shot, then Brody CHOPS! Edge CHOPS! They CHOP, throw forearms, and the fans fire up behind Edge! Edge kicks and IMP- NO, Brody throws him away! Edge dodges the lariat to LARIAT! Brody stays up so Edge runs up to clothesline in a corner! And again! And again!
Edge fires shots, runs side to side, then BOOTS Brody! The fans fire up as Brody leans on the ropes! Edge runs again, for another BOOT! Edge huffs and puffs and he brings Brody around, IMPALER! Cover, TWO! Brody is still in this and Julia coaches him up. Edge stays on Brody, but Brody TOSSES him to the corner! Edge BOOTS back, goes up, and FLYING BLOCKBUSTERS! The fans fire up as Edge rises, and he has a wild look as he goes to the corner. Edge runs in, but Brody LARIATS him down! Julia is fired up, and Brody drags Edge to a corner. Brody storms around as he hoots, then he runs corner to corner to CANNONBALL but only gets buckles!
The fans fire up as Edge and Brody are both down! Julia coaches Brody, the fans rally, and here comes Willow! Taped up as she is, Willow’s on the corner! Brody drags Edge up and in, but Edge reaches out! Willow tags in! She goes up and she CROSSBODIES Brody! Then she chases after Julia! Julia says no no no, but then Edge SPEARS Brody! Willow hoots now, the fans join in, and Willow gives Brody a CANNONBALL! Julia runs in with a chain! CHAIN PUNCH!! The fans boo as Julia says the House Always Wins! Edge LARIATS Brody out of the ring, but Julia clamps on the HARTLESS LOCK! Willow is OUT, The House of Black wins!
Winners: Brody King & Julia Hart, by submission
The Princess of the Black Throne made sure to have an ace up her sleeve to take this one from Willow! But wait! Here comes Mone! And she has a chair! Julia laughs as she slips away, taking her title with her. The House of Black won tonight, but will they establish their Dynasty?
As for Mone and Willow, well Mone still has the chair and is considering her options. Edge slides back in, so Mone stands down. Edge shakes Mone’s hand, long time no see. Mone still wants to go Double or Nothing, but will she be facing the Keeper of Secrets? Or will it be a long awaited rematch with the Babe with the Power?
Backstage interview with Samoa Joe.
Renee Paquette says we’re just four days away from Dynasty, a PPV where the AEW World Championship will be on the line 1v1, Samoa Joe VS Swerve Strickland. Renee says that in this situation, just Joe and Swerve, how does Joe see Swerve as an opponent? Well, first, Joe viewed Swerve as a worthy adversary. Someone who some day might be a great champion. But for now, he’s just a nuisance. Joe says Swerve is not someone who has overwhelming speed, strength, size, no. He’s just someone who keeps standing back up after getting knocked down. No matter how many times Joe puts Swerve in the dirt, Swerve just gets back up.
To Joe, that doesn’t seem like a prerequisite to becoming a champion, that’s a punching bag. Then Renee wants to run this back to last week on Dynamite. Joe is always calm, cool, collected and in the driver’s seat. But after last week, Swerve getting his shot in on Joe, then Swerve & Nana holding up the AEW World Championship, Joe’s reaction… Walk us through what that was. As expected, Joe was worried his property was in the hands of someone who will never possess it. That maybe this belt would need to be disinfected before it could be TV ready. You don’t know where Nana’s been!
As for Swerve, Joe will focus on his track record and what he represents. It seems that with every title Swerve has challenged for, he has come up short. Is that not right? Seems like Swerve’s a choke artist. Every championship, every opportunity, every time he tries, he comes just so close, then swerves off target. History will repeat itself at Dynasty, as at Dynasty, Joe will do what he always does, and that is destroy the opposition, cement his legacy as the greatest AEW World Champion of all time, and for Swerve, “my friend, unfortunately you are a choke artist. And come Dynasty, you won’t have to worry about it. I’ll be the one choking you out instead.”
The One True King of Wrestling has spoken, but will he still end up dethroned by The Realest?
AEW takes a closer look at The Young Bucks VS FTR Part 4.
But as the highlights of ladder matches and of All In London 2023 play, the Bucks themselves interrupt. This package sucks, who edited this together? Cut, cut! The video stops, and we cut to gorilla. Matthew Jackson “apologizes” to FTR, but tonight’s episode is already running short on time, so they gotta bump this from the show. But Matthew promises, the full package will go on social media. And Nicholas sure hopes FTR is watching, because they’re about to beat their friends’ asses in a really cool Six Man Tag. And yeah, it’s a tune-up for Dynasty! A ladder match for the tag titles? Are you kidding? The Bucks perfected that match!
And the Bucks will then become AEW’s first-ever THREE TIME World Tag Team Champions. But what about tonight, Rainmaker? Kazuchika Okada says, “Hey, Pac! You will not make it to Dynasty. You are a dead man!” Cue the music, time for the badass entrance using that elevator thing. But will the New Elite really be rolling into St. Louis with momentum? Or are they underestimating the Top Guys’ allies?
Six Man Tag: Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks VS PAC, Penta El Zero Miedo & Daniel Garcia!
The trios sort out and The Rainmaker starts against The Bastard as a preview of their Continental Championship match. The fans rally behind Pac, but then The Bucks CLOBBER him, and Okada BLASTS Pac’s corner! The fans boo as The Elite stomps away on Pac, then the Bucks stand down. Okada tags Nick, he storms up but Pac SOBATS! KICKS! And SOBATS! Pac runs to SHOTGUN BOOT! The fans fire up and Pac tags Penta. They double whip, double hip toss, then they coordinate, STANDING MOONSAULT LEG DROP COMBO! Cover, TWO! Penta runs up to KICK Nick in the leg! The fans rally with “CERO! MIEDO!” as Penta has Nick on ropes.
Penta whips, Nick reverses, and Matt gets a cheap shot! Penta GAMANGIRIS Matt, but Okada BOOTS Penta down! The fans boo as Nick distracted the ref the entire time. Nick stomps Penta, tags Matt, and Matt rains down fists! The fans boo, but Matt tags Nick back in. The Bucks double whip Penta to a corner, then Matt runs in, only for Penta to TOSS him out!

Dynamite returns with Taz in the ring.
The Suplex Machine promised Chris Jericho to set up a meeting with Hook, so he’s here as moderator as Lionheart makes his entrance. Jericho joins Taz in the ring, followed by Hook. Taz has the mic while fans chant “HOOK! HOOK!” Taz says he’s just here to make sure things go nice and easy. There have been some issues between both Jericho and Hook. That said, Jericho has the floor. Jericho has the mic to say he’s known Taz for 30 years, and he appreciates Taz getting Hook to come out here. And to Hook, Jericho thanks him for coming out here. Jericho just wants to clear up some things.
The reason Jericho pulled Hook off the apron last week was not to mess with Shibata. Shibata ended up collateral damage. Jericho just wanted to get Hook’s attention and let him know it felt like Hook wasn’t listening to him as much as he should. The fans boo and Hook eats chips while Jericho says he is doing this all for Hook. Some say Jericho’s the greatest of all time at this. Others talk about the learning tree. Jericho says he IS the learning tree. The fans boo more but Jericho wants Hook to think about the people who listened to Jericho’s “perfect parables,” his pearls of wisdom. Every single one of them has gotten to that next level.
MJF, Orange Cassidy, Eddie Kingston, Daniel Garcia, Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay, and so many more! Everyone that has come into the “Jericho Vortex” has come out the other side a better performer, a better wrestler, and to be honest, a better person. That is what Jericho wants for Hook. He wants them to scale to the highest of heights together. They can reach the top of Wizard Mountain so they can both breathe in the rarified air of Jericho and reach the top! Jericho knows he can get Hook there. So what does Hook say? Is he ready to put the animosity aside so he can sit under the brilliant branches of the learning tree?
The fans are booing and saying no. What does Hook say? “No!” The fans cheer and Jericho looks disappointed. What does Hook mean, “no?” Hook says he doesn’t need Jericho’s help. Dude, c’mon. Don’t be stupid. Taz stops Jericho there, but Jericho tells Taz to stop. The fans boo but Jericho says he’s doing what Taz should’ve done 30 years ago and give this kid some proper guidance! Seriously! But this is what Jericho is talking about. He needs to get Hook away from all this dead weight that’s been holding him back his entire life. Taz says Jericho needs to calm down but Jericho says Taz needs to stop.
Jericho again tells Hook that he has had people his whole life telling him how good he is, how he’s a future world champion, including Taz, his father. But Jericho says Hook is not as good as he thinks he is! The fans boo more and Taz speaks up again, only for Jericho to SHOVE him! The fans boo even harder, and now Hook is mad! Hook drops the mic, he storms up to Jericho, and then he SHOVES Jericho into a corner! Hook tells Jericho that he crossed the line. You wanna see how good Hook is? He’ll go another round with him, anytime, anywhere! Now get outta his ring! Jericho says Hook doesn’t mean that, but Hook says it again, get outta his ring!
Hook lets Jericho go and the fans sing “Hey hey hey, Goodbye~!” Jericho slowly takes his leave, trying to smooth things over, but it’s too late for that. When and where will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil get his hooks into Lionheart?
Backstage interview with Swerve Strickland.
Renee now sits down with the #1 contender to the AEW World Championship. In just a matter of days, Swerve’s career could change. Swerve could become the NEW AEW World Champion at Dynasty. In order to do that, he has to beat Joe. We heard from Joe earlier, what is Swerve’s reaction to Joe calling him a “choke artist?” Swerve chuckles at that. He’ll ask back, does Renee agree with Joe that Swerve’s a choke artist? No, she does not. He doesn’t think so, either. Joe talked about Swerve stumbling, title opportunity after opportunity. He isn’t wrong about that. Swerve has stumbled out the gate, stumbling throughout his career.
But guess what? Swerve’s always fallen forward into success. Just in this past year alone, Swerve was put in a coffin, got back up. He got stapled, body thrown into barbed wire, and he got back up. Not but a couple weeks ago, a man punched him in the face with a chain, bloodied him, and Swerve is still here. Swerve always gets back up. That’s his military upbringing, his warrior ethos: never give up, never quit. So Joe, call Swerve whatever you want. Punching bag, choke artist, a parasite, but guess what? This Sunday at Dynasty, he’ll also be calling Swerve the NEW AEW World Champion. “Whose house?”
Renee asks what makes Swerve so confident about Sunday? Swerve thinks about it, and says with all due respect, it isn’t something he should be answering to Renee. He should be saying this to Samoa Joe. Swerve takes off the mic, takes off his jacket and his hat to get up in the camera. Swerve promises to tell Joe this to his face, in that ring, tonight! Swerve storms off, but will Joe bother to meet him out there?

Rosa SMEARS it all over Storm’s crazy face! Rosa gets payback for Storm disrespecting the face paint!
Storm scrambles away, Luther doing his best to clean her up. The Storm and the Thunder are about to clash, which force of nature will reign over the AEW Women’s Division?
Backstage interview with Bullet Club Gold.
Renee is now with the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions, but she has to get the Gunns to stop tapping the mic. This is a very exciting time in AEW as Dynasty is just days away. BCG asked for this time, what is going on? Jay White says it is very exciting but Renee doesn’t seem that excited. This is supposed to be her favorite time of the week! She gets to talk with the who? Bang Bang Gang. Aw c’mon, say it with feeling! Yeah, like this! BANG BANG GANG! The Bang Bang Gang has been having a blast the last couple of months.

The Acclaimed respond.
Daddy Ass says, “Well. It seems that you three have finally grown a set and showed everybody what your true intensions are, and that’s to get a shot at the championships that we now hold. Well, Jay White, I’ve already beaten the life outta you. And as for those other two, hell, I’ve been beating the hell out of them since they were little kids. You called down the thunder, well now you’ve got it.” Anthony Bowens says, “That’s right, Jay White. You wanna fight? This Sunday on Dynasty, you want us to put the AEW Trios titles on the line? Well guess what? We accept your challenge. So bring your little Ass Boys, bring your big golden bat, because guess what?
“The Scissor King has got a big golden bat of your own, and you can choke on it!” Max Caster says that’s right, “Twinkblade and the Ass Boys. You guys wanna make challenges? Well let us in on the fun, too. Just for old times, let’s run it back! Two on two, Acclaimed and the Ass Boys on Collision this week, and we’re gonna beat your ass, I’ve got no doubts about it!

Roderick Strong speaks.
“Kyle, your comeback was sweet. I swear to you, I smiled and I cried because I was so happy to have you back. But there’s something that you didn’t realize.” Roddy is of course referring to how Kyle could do it on his own, so long as he didn’t get in Roddy’s way. Roddy finishes by saying, “When we step into the ring, I am going to break you, and I am going to end you forever!” Another friendship turned sour all because of pride and greed, but will the Savior of the Backbreaker be Kyle’s doom? Or will there be no End of Heartache when Kyle takes the International Championship away from The Undisputed Kingdom?

Claudio gets Ospreay’s legs, for the GIANT SWING! But Ospreay sits up!? And slips through to DDT!!
Ospreay goes up and up and LEAP OF FAITH!! Cover, TWO!! Claudio survives that sky twister, but Ospreay aims! HIDDEN BLADE!!! Cover, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall
The Aerial Assassin takes down the Swiss Superman in an instant classic! Even Callis says that’s incredible! But wait, Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher & Will Hobbs show up to mug Claudio! The fans boo, but Ospreay is rather surprised by this. Callis takes no responsibility for what his guys are doing, but Takeshita still drags Claudio to the ramp. This is like at the end of Collision! But unlike last time, here comes MOX! The fans fire up as the DCF regroups in the ring, only for Moxley to jump in from the crowd! Moxley fires hands on everyone, but that’s still a 3v1 fight! Hobbs and Fletcher mug Moxley, but he throws Kyle away to fire off with Hobbs!
Claudio is up, he DUMPS Takeshita into the stands! Moxley sends Hobbs running, and now the BCC regroups! Ospreay is still confused and upset and he storms off. Will the #BillyGOAT still get a fair fight with Bryan Danielson at Dynasty? Will Moxley humble Hobbs as part of AEW Homecoming? Well BREAKING NEWS for Collision tomorrow night! Bryan Danielson returns to action alongside Claudio Castagnoli to take on Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita, IN A BUNKHOUSE BRAWL! Will the American Dragon breathe fire and burn down the Don Callis Family all in one weekend?
Swerve heads to the ring!
Just as he promised, and with Nana by his side, The Realest is here. He has the music cut to say that this Sunday in St. Louis, the main event of Dynasty, it is Swerve challenging Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship. The fans chant “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve gets in the ring and says he was asked earlier tonight, how does he believe he’s going to defeat Joe? That answer is simple: remember last week, when he knocked Joe on his ass and had him scurrying like a little b*tch? Joe had fear in his eyes! He was quivering! Swerve was standing there, the title above his head, and it looked mighty good on him.
Joe showed Swerve everything he needed to see. Joe was scared! The fact that Joe knows Swerve’s gonna beat him and win the title. Swerve’s just out here with the people of Indianapolis, he’s just waiting on Joe to come out here so he can say all this to Joe’s face, like a man. So Swerve’s here, Nana’s here, so Joe, bring your Sweet Tooth ass out here! Swerve waits, and here comes Joe! But security stands in the way! This is the man Swerve wants, and he says he just wants to talk, so he can knock Joe’s ass out again! The cluster of Joe and the security guards gets closer and closer, so Swerve goes up and up! Swerve SUPER STOMPS the whole thing apart!!
The fans lose their minds as Swerve stares Joe down! Swerve says he is taking this from Joe, and then the fists fly! Joe whips Swerve into steel steps! Joe puts Swerve in the ring, fetches his belt, and says Swerve’s taking nothing from him! Joe storms into the ring, smirks as Nana checks on Swerve, and then Joe mocks Nana’s dance. Nana turns around and says hold on now! Joe storms up on Nana, but Swerve gets up to BOOT Joe! Swerve aims, for a HOUSE CALL! Joe is down but Swerve goes up! The fans are thunderous, but Joe trips Swerve up! Nana panics as Joe tells Swerve that he is NOT that man!
Joe HEADBUTTS Swerve, tucks him in, and hits the MUSCLE BUSTER!! Joe looms over Swerve, picks up the title, and holds it up high. Will this be the scene at the end of Dynasty? Or will Swerve finally have his moment?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite as the go-home to Dynasty, great escalating of things between Blackpool Combat Club and Don Callis Family. Moxley has a really good opening promo, and he surprisingly calls out Hobbs. Ospreay has an awesome main event with Claudio, and of course Ospreay wins to have momentum going into Dynasty. And I do appreciate that he is against how the Don Callis Family is doing things. They didn’t need to beat up Claudio, he isn’t even part of Dynasty, and now that even backfired as there’s going to be a BIG tag match on Collision as one last go-home to Dynasty. Pretty sure Bryan & Claudio win that so Bryan has momentum, too, making Dynasty’s dream match much more unpredictable.
Good promo from Mercedes Mone, and I like that her hair was colored to match the new Dynamite colors. But also, good detail for her to think how I was thinking, the attack on her could’ve just been Willow making us think it was Julia. Really good Mixed Tag with how someone, apparently Julia, attacked Willow beforehand. It ended up mostly an Edge VS Brody match that way, but good heroic entrance by Willow. But of course the House cuts corners to win, and great save by Mone to run Julia off. This does tease Mone VS Julia but I’m very certain the go-home math says Willow wins the TBS Championship to make Double or Nothing the rematch from the NJPW Strong Women’s title tournament.
Also good stuff in the AEW Women’s World title story as Deonna VS Mariah was a great match. Good win for Deonna, but of course Storm attacks her and that brings out Rosa. Rosa stands tall here, so the math indicates Storm retains. But at the same time, there’s still potential for Storm and Mina Shirakawa to fight over Mariah as opposed to fighting over a title. Or maybe they’ll fight over both? After all, May is Double or Nothing, so it could be a bit of both. Or like, Storm retains the title, but Mina “wins” Mariah to her side, #RoseGold does stuff in AEW or even ROH, and Storm will be without one of her insurance policies.
Great stuff in the story of New Elite. I actually liked The Bucks interrupting the hype package because it started too FTR friendly, and we got a great Six Man Tag. Of course The New Elite beat Pac, Penta & Garcia, but I was kinda hoping FTR was going to make the save to better set up the Six Man Tag I honestly thought we were getting tonight. Pac & FTR VS Okada & Bucks has to go really wonky, though, that’s a lot of go-home math that affects many titles. Meanwhile, Jericho’s face to face with Hook went about as expected in that Jericho ruins it cuz of his ego. Him shoving Taz was the unexpected part but it got Hook mad, and so we’re definitely getting Hook VS Jericho for the FTW Championship at some point.
Good promo from Roddy to hype up his match with Kyle, maybe Kyle has a tune-up match during Collision or Rampage this Saturday so he has momentum going into the match. Great match from Cassidy VS Shane, and while Shane Taylor Promotions interfered a lot, Cassidy winning was of course happening. STP beating him down, and Trent stopping the save was some wild stuff, though. A little surprised no one’s interviewed Trent, or tried and then get shot down by Trent, but him still wearing the “win the big one” shirt kinda implies what broke him. The moment they didn’t win the big one, after all the losses leading up to this, Trent finally gave up on Best Friends.
I am very happy that Acclaimed VS Bang Bang Gang is going to be Winners Take All for the trios titles. Good promos from both sides, but I just hope the winners will bring their AEW and ROH titles to both Collision and ROH TV on Honor Club. We finally got Kyle Fletcher back on ROH TV, the other male champions of ROH need to show up. And uh, for that matter, if Wheeler Yuta is unable to compete at all with his injury, Tony Khan needs to figure out what to do with the ROH Pure Championship. But I think we all know what’s going down with the AEW World Championship. Great promos from both Joe and Swerve, then a great final confrontation to close the night. And per the math, Joe stands tall, meaning Swerve is taking that title at Dynasty.
My Score: 8.9/10

Backstage interview with Hook and Katsuyori Shibata.
Lexi Nari is with the FTW Champion and The Wrestler, and notes we saw Hook make the save for Shibata during Collision against Shane Taylor Promotions. At the same time, Hook is about to face Shane Taylor himself with the FTW title on the line. Knowing what Shane’s capable of, what is Hook’s strategy going into that match? Shibata uses his voice-to-text translator say, “Pardon the interruption… Hook, I’ll have your back tonight.” Hook appreciates that, but even knowing what Shane’s capable of, Hook’s got his own way of handling this. Shibata says bet, and Hook gives him the fist bump.
FTW Championship: Hook VS Shane Taylor w/ Anthony Ogogo!
The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil knows he’s up against a bad, bad man, but this is FTW Rules! Everyone who fights for this title is a bad, bad man, so will Hook prove he’s the baddest? Or will Shane #SendHook back to New York without his gold?

Backstage interview with Rocky Romero.
Lexi is with Azucar as he is just moments away from his Title Eliminator match for the International Championship. However, Lexi wants to know if he knows what’s going on with Best Friends. Rocky says Chuck, Trent and Orange Cassidy are like brothers to him, and yet he has no idea what’s going on there. But right now, he can’t really worry about that, he has to focus on the match with Roderick Strong. When Rocky wins, he’ll be one step closer to fulfilling his destiny of becoming International Champion. Kyle O’Reilly pops in, wishes Rocky luck, and then heads back out. Will Azucar be able to get one over on the Savior of the Backbreaker? Or will he just end up broken?
AEW International Championship Eliminator: Roderick Strong w/ The Undisputed Kingdom VS Rocky Romero!
While Azucar is confident, it was just last night on Rampage that Roddy took offense to him and Kyle O’Reilly even thinking there was a chance this match doesn’t go The Undisputed Kingdom’s way. Will Roddy prove them all wrong by crossing Rocky off the list? Or is this were The Kingdom starts to crumble?
The bell rings and the two circle. The fans are behind Rocky as he and Roddy tie up. Rocky waistlocks, Roddy wrenches to wristlock, but Rocky rolls, wrenches and wristlocks back. Roddy tries to pull hair but Rocky twists the wrist. Roddy pulls on Rocky’s ear to have the headlock and takeover. Rocky fights up, pops out the back, and then steps over.

Rocky goes out to PENALTY KICK from the apron! Rocky leaps to DIVING STOMP! Roddy writhes, Rocky gives more Latino Heat, and BOTB goes picture in picture.

Roddy hobbles to a corner, Rocky CHOPS him and then follows him. Rocky ROCKS Roddy, ROCKS him again, but Roddy bails out. Rocky goes after Roddy on the apron, but Roddy lifts!

The Kingdom helps Roddy, whether Roddy will say it that way or not. Kyle is here to celebrate with his friend, but he also checks on his other friend in Rocky. Kyle helps Rocky up to his feet, and wants the fans to give it up for Rocky. But then Wardlow LARIATS Rocky, and The Kingdom stomps away! Kyle has them stop, this isn’t cool! But then Roddy STRONG KNEES Kyle down?!? The fans boo as Roddy tells Kyle that he could do it on his own, but there’s only ONE man that can be International Champion! Kyle made the wrong decision! Roddy’s arrogance just ended his friendship with Kyle, will Kyle make Roddy pay for that?
Backstage interview with Serena Deeb.
Lexi Nair is with the Professor of Professional Wrestling and notes how last week, Serena walked on stage after Yuka Sakazaki’s return victory. Why? Serena says she was sitting in the back, watching that impressive match, and thought to herself that she was watching a great pro-wrestler. Someone that Serena would love to tear it up with. Tonight, the Professor is here on BOTB, but has no championship opportunity. She’s not sweating it, though. Since her return, Serena is undefeated. She checked the rankings, and The Professor is sitting pretty at Number 3! So week by week, she’s climbing her way up to inevitably become champion.
Serena tells Yuka, that was an invitation. To where? Into the Deeb Dojo! Serena will show Yuka that Serena is better, and that she is what she says she is: The Professor of Pro-Wrestling! Serena wants to test herself against the Wrestling Magical Girl, but who will be the one taking a step closer to a title opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynasty!
After Roddy’s sudden rejection of Kyle O’Reilly, they are now going to battle over the International Championship! It’s the fight neither man wanted, but will Kyle give Roddy payback for what he did with interest?
ROH Women’s World Championship: Athena w/ Billie Starkz VS Red Velvet!
The Fallen Goddess is 49-0 after defeating Hikaru Shida on Supercard of Honor last week, and when she says she’s the Forever Champion, she means that. But will “forever” come to a crashing halt in Kentucky? Or will The Chef be the one getting served an L?
The introductions are made by Lexi Nair, so just a little biased in Athena’s favor. The belt is raised, and here in the main event, we see who is the face of the ROH Women’s Division!
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings and the fans fire up for Athena already. The two circle, tie up, and they go around. They go into a corner, along ropes, then Athena throws Velvet down. Velvet holds on, they roll on the mat with the collar ‘n’ elbow, then they stand up. Athena puts Velvet in a corner, the ref counts, but Athena lets off with a cocky smile. Velvet keeps cool and resets with Athena. They tie up. Velvet wrenches an arm to wristlock, but Athena handsprings and wrenches back. Velvet rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Velvet headlocks but Athena powers up and out. Velvet runs Athena over, but Athena kips up!
The fans fire up while both women brush themselves off. They reset again, tie up, and Athena headlocks. Velvet powers up and out, but Athena wrenches to whip. Velvet ducks ‘n’ dodges and tilt-o-whirls to RANA, but Athena handsprings through! The fans fire up and Athena cheers herself on. But Velvet DROPKICSK Athena down! Athena gets up, Velvet arm-drags, arm-drags again, and then Velvet cheers herself on. Athena runs up into another arm-drag! Velvet has the armlock but Athena fights up and throws Velvet down by her hair! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands, and things speed up.
Velvet drops, runs up and CALF KICKS Athena down! Athena bails out, Billie there to check on her. Velvet goes to the apron, Athena grabs a leg but Velvet kicks her away. Velvet then ASAI MOONSAULTS land takes Athena down! The fans fire up, Velvet drags Athena up and puts her in the ring, then has her on the apron. Velvet climbs up, brings Athena up, but Athena shoves her back. FLAPJACK off the top buckles! Velvet staggers, Athena reels her back in, APRON BACK SUPLEX! The fans fire up with Athena while BOTB goes picture in picture.
Velvet crawls into the ring but Athena follows her. Athena looms over Velvet, drags her up, then CLUBS her down. Athena stands Velvet up to whip her hard into a corner. Athena revels in the cheers before she runs in and back body blocks! Then Athena goes side to side to forearm SMASH! Athena smiles as Velvet leans against buckles. Athena shoves Velvet down, stomps her around, then drags her back up. Velvet fires body shots, but Athena bumps her off buckles. Velvet avoids the forearm to DOUBLE CHOP! Velvet fires body blows but Athena throws hands! Velvet CHOPS, Athena CHOPS, they CHOP, then Athena CHOPS Velvet off her feet!
The fans cheer while Athena snarls. Athena sits Velvet back up, KICKS her in the back, then KICKS her again! And again! Athena stands Velvet up, bumps her off buckles, then scoops to put Velvet in the Tree of Woe. Athena KICKS away on Velvet’s back, then lets her fall out of the Three. Billie applauds, tells Velvet she should’ve known better, but Velvet swipes at Billie. Billie gets away, cheers Athena on, but Velvet fires hands on Athena! Athena swings back but Velvet bobs ‘n’ weaves! Velvet ROCKS Athena, kicks her legs out, then runs up , into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Athena is annoyed but still in control as BOTB goes to break.
BOTB returns once again as Athena hits buckles! Velvet rallies on Athena with clothesline after clothesline! Velvet runs, tilt-o-whirls and RANAS Athena onto ropes! Velvet runs up to DOUBLE KNEE! Velvet shoves Athena down, runs, and tilt-o-whirls again, REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO! Athena survives and Velvet is frustrated. Athena crawls away, wanting mercy! But Velvet storms up, only for Athena to YANK Velvet into buckles! Athena then fireman’s carries Velvet for the WASTELAND! Roll through and another fireman’s carry, for another WASTELAND! Another roll through, and then Athena mocks the stirrin’ it up motion!
But Velvet pops up to RANA! Cover, TWO!! Athena escapes, Velvet runs up to wheelbarrow, but Athena URENAGES her down! Cover, TWO!! Athena is furious as Velvet survives! Athena goes up a corner, the fans cheer, and Velvet rises. But Velvet ROUNDHOUSES first! Velvet ROCKS Athena, climbs up after her, then CHOPS! Velvet goes to the very top, to SUPER VICTORY THROW! Athena flounders but she ducks the buzzsaw! Roll up, Velvet rolls through! THE SLICE! And then the tilt-o-whirl DDT!! Cover, TWO!!! Athena survives and Velvet is fuming! Velvet pushes Athena around while the fans rally up.
Athena is in the drop zone, so Velvet goes up top. Velvet tells Billie to shut up, but Athena gets out to the apron. The fans boo but Velvet adjusts position, to leap and SUPER CROSSBODY! Athena catches her!? And then brings Velvet around to FALCON ARROW to the floor! The fans fire up as Athena roars, but so does Velvet as she rises! Only for the SUPERKICK to knock her down! Athena has a wild look on her face and Billie cheers on the Overlord. Athena gets Velvet up, THROWS her into the LED board, then THROWS her around again! Athena drags Velvet up and into the ring, storms in after her, and reels her in! Canadian Rack, but Velvet sunset flips it! TWO!!!
Athena escapes, Velvet runs up, ducks ‘n’ dodges then SUPERKICKS! But Athena DECKS Velvet with a forearm! Athena goes up top, Velvet rises in a daze, to get the O-FACE!! Cover, Athena wins!
Winner: Athena, by pinfall (still ROH Women’s World Champion)
And that’s FIFTY and zero! Fifty wins, no losses, and no slowing down as she title belt clinks with Billie. But as is customary on ROH, Athena sets her belt down, and Billie does, too. They drag Velvet up, mock “stir it up,” but Velvet SLAPS Athena! And SLAPS Billie! But then Athena and Billie mug Velvet! The fans boo as Billie picks up her belt, takes aim, but then QUEEN AMINATA is here! Aminata runs down into the ring, dodges Billie to DECK Athena, then HEADBUTT for Billie! That’s payback for cheating in the TV title match! But then Athena runs up, into an Alabama Lift! AIR RAID CRASH!!
Aminata saves Velvet while also making her own impact, will The Queen not be denied her crown? Or will the Fallen Goddess look to make her pay for this insolence?
My Thoughts:
A really good BOTB but uh, after ten of these, we already know nothing really happens on these. Great action and promos like on Collision, but no titles were ever changing hands. And after two hours of Collision, the crowd was of course tired out. Hook of course defeated Shane but it was a really good showing of Hook’s resilience to take all that damage and still win. Really good match from Roddy and Rocky that Roddy of course won, and turns out I was right in thinking they’d fast track Roddy VS Kyle here. That match will be great stuff, but it’d be a shame if Kyle’s first title shot ends up a loss, even with The Kingdom all there to interfere and distract.
Good promo from Serena to make it clear that she’s having a match with Yuka, just in case it wasn’t clear last week. And then a great main event for the ROH Women’s Championship. Red Velvet looked great even in defeat, and natural move for Aminata to show up and go after Athena & Billie. Aminata really has her pick of the two titles at this point, and while payback on Billie for Supercard is an obvious route, why wouldn’t she go right to the source and take down Athena? Athena’s made it to 50-0, and if not when Athena faced Billie, not when she faced Nyla Rose nor when she faced Shida, her first loss should be to pass the torch to Aminata.
Aminata went through the grind, paid her dues, and has got organically over with ROH viewers, so if she isn’t gonna be the historic first Women’s TV Champ, make her the woman that takes down the top woman in ROH.
My Score: 8.6/10
