The teams sort out and Cody starts with Shaq! The fans rally already as the two circle. Cody fires himself up and ties up with Shaq. Cody wrenches but Shaq SHOVES him down! Shaq double guns but Cody gets up to his feet. Fans rally and duel, Shaq encourages them to get louder, and things circle. Shaq shows off some rope a dope, then ties up with Cody again.

Shaq CLUBS Cody, whips him and back drops him high and hard! Shaq has Cody in the corner and CHOPS him again! And KNEES him low and hard!

Cody staggers to the other corner, fans rally and duel more, and Shaq CHOPS him again! Cody ends up in the corner, Jade tags in! Velvet steps in, and the two stare down. Jade kicks Velvet low, whips her to a corner, but Velvet goes up and over and builds speed, only to run into a fireman’s carry! Velvet fights out with elbows, waistlocks, but Jade bucks her away. Jade BOOTS Velvet down, then shows off the fight pose. Velvet staggers to a corner, Jade runs in but Velvet bobs ‘n’ weaves to kick and HEEL KICK! Velvet forearms but Jade ROCLS Velvet, TOSSES her, then chokes her in the corner! The ref counts, Jade lets off, then TOSSES Velvet across the way!

Fans fire up and duel as Jade shows off by doing push-ups. Jade storms over to Velvet, whips her corner to corner hard, then soaks up some heat.

Shaq lets off, but Velvet SUPER MOONSAULTS onto everyone else!! Fans are fired up and Velvet stirs it up!

Jade gets in the ring, Velvet pursues, and she brings Jade up to ROCK her with forearms! Velvet whips, Jade reverses and kicks low to trip Velvet up. Jade hooks up the legs for a FIGURE FOUR! Velvet endures as Jade flexes and copies Cody. But Velvet turns it over onto Jade! Jade endures now, powers it back and pushes up, then blows a kiss to Cody. Velvet endures so Jade lets Velvet free to bring her up. Velvet throws body shots but Jade sweeps the legs! Jade goes out side, and starts looking under the ring! Jade brings out a TABLE! But this isn’t No Disqualifications! The ref and Shaq argue, Jade sets the table up, but Arn and the ref shout at her to stop.

Velvet goes out after Jade and clubs her! And bumps her off the table, to then put her in the ring! Velvet moves the table further from the ring, to bring out a second table!

Jade stands tall but Shaq looks out cold from crashing through the hardwood! Will Shaq be alright after his AEW debut? Is this win just the first of many for Jade?

 

AEW medics take care of Shaq.

They get him on a gurney, load him into an ambulance, and take him to local facility. Tony Schiavone wants a quick word, but… Where did Shaq go? Is Shaq magic?!

The Inner Circle heads to the ring!

The dastardly duo of Chris Jericho & MJF are here for a press conference to supposedly answer for everything they did to the Young Bucks’ father last week. Fans sing Judas for Jericho and AEW goes to break.

AEW returns and Dasha is at the official podium as MJF and Jericho take their seats. The first question is from Barstool Sports, and is about what the AEW World Tag Team Championships mean to Y2MJF. Jericho says that everyone knows he is LE CHAMPION! That isn’t just a nickname, t’s the truth! But it’s been one year since he lost the AEW World Championship, so it’s time he has a title again! But with all the accolades he has, the greatness he has, he is a seven-time world tag team champion! SEVEN! With some of the biggest names in the industry, including Dwayne Johnson and Paul Wight! But none of them are better than MJF! And it is time for them to beat the hell out of the Young Bucks, just like they did to their stupid father!!

The second question is from Conrad Thompson of Grilling JR. The fighting is over, what are the odds of letting Sammy Guevara back into the Inner Circle? MJF can’t believe “turkey tits” here just asked that. Jericho said he never wanted to hear that name again, so get out of here! Go back to Nebraska! Next question! Brandon Walker of Barstool Sports ask why they attacked Papa Buck. Why? MJF is so sick of the shmucks out there making Papa Buck out to be a martyr! He attacked Jericho first! He did! So what they did was self-defense! But the worst part is that “that old worthless sack of crap” got his blood on MJF’s custom suit!

MJF knows most people can’t comprehend how expensive that is, but to put it in ways they can, he doesn’t shop at Target and Baby Gap! And if you thought what they did to Papa was bad, just wait until they get their hands on “Malnourished Matt” and “Not so Slick, I wish my hair was way more thick Nick!” But hey, it wasn’t their idea to attack Papa Buck, no. Did the Bucks think it was that smart to bring their bitch-ass pops down here? Especially knowing there isn’t a line that the Inner Circle wouldn’t cross? The Bucks need to do better. NEXT!

And it’s Eric Bischoff from 83 Weeks. His question is two parts, and he’ll direct the first part to Jericho. Do they know the condition of Papa Buck? And in Jericho’s list of stupid ideas, where does motivating the Bucks to come at you with a vengeance rank? Just curious. Jericho tells “Eric B” to shut his mouth! And second, they don’t know the condition of Papa Buck and they don’t care! As far as Matt & Nick go- They’re here! Matt & Nick step out on stage and glare at the Inner Circle. Nick knew that once this got started, the Inner Circle “pricks” would hurt their friends. But hurting their father makes this thing personal!

Matt says that their dad is the greatest dad in the world! He taught them everything they needed to know to be the men they are today! Being compassionate, have faith, love your family! They love their family! Papa Buck did everything that MJF’s and Jericho’s dads apparently failed at with them! Papa Buck taught them to dream big, and when he couldn’t afford to put them through college, he built them their own wrestling ring with his bare hands! Papa Buck taught them not to just stand idly by and let someone else do the work. You do it yourself! That DIY spirit is what created the Young Bucks, Being the Elite, and ALL ELITE WRESTLING! Without Papa Buck, there would be no Young Bucks or an AEW!

Laugh now, but do you know what that means? Then that means MJF is still at home, unemployed, on call with the Rosie O’Donnell Show! And for Jericho, let’s be honest! He’d be jerking the curtain at “the Performance Center.” Because Papa Buck taught them empathy, faith, family and one other thing! Stand up for yourselves and maybe kick some ass! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for tY2MJF! Things bust off with the Inner Circle but Brandon Cutler gets in! Referees rush out to stop this but that’s easier said than done! Wardlow tackles Cutler, Matt SUPERKICKS Santana and Nick tosses Ortiz! The Good Brothers are here to help out! They have tables set up and Nick ROCKS Ortiz!

Matt heads over, dares someone else to come get them, and Nick puts Ortiz on a table. Karl Anderson keeps Ortiz down while Nick climbs up! Nick aims from above the tunnel, and Matt has Santana off the stage! 450 AND MACHO ELBOWS through tables!! The Bucks are fired up and Y2MJF look worried, as they should! Will Matt & Nick teach Jericho & MJF what happens when real men fight back?

 

AEW profiles what it means to have an “Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match.”

America hasn’t seen something like this in 25 years! Once you hit the barbed wire ropes and trigger the switches, there WILL be explosions! Not only that, but the barbed wire will cut you up mercilessly! This will be something to remember for a long, long time because of the violence, the unknown, and the two men in it. Atsuhi Onita says the rules here are fitting for Moxley and Omega. It is unpredictable, dangerous, and painful. But Moxley’s honor won’t let him do any less to take Omega out or be forced into retirement trying. Will the Maniac take back what the Cleaner stole from him? Or will he give up everything in return?

 

Six Man Tag: Jurassic Express VS FTR & Tully Blanchard w/ JJ Dylan!

Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood are more than honored to have a legendary tag team wrestler come out of retirement for one night and join them in battle! But will it also be the end of them as Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus & Marko Stunt are coming #ForTheirRevenge?

AEW returns and Jurassic Express make their entrance. The trios sort out, Tully starts with Stunt and they tie up. Tully puts Stun in the corner, fires off body shots and knees, then tags in Dax. Stunt slips away, Jurassic Express back him up, and they stare FTullyR down! Stunt swipes at Cash but everyone cools off. Jungle Boy tags in, he and Dax tie up as a return from their great singles showdown. Dax puts JB in a corner, the ref calls for a break but Dax throws body shots and CHOPS!

JB survives the classic SHOE screw job! Fans fire up, Dax bumps JB off buckles and tags in Tully. They mug JB, Tully CHOPS JB and JB bails out.

Dax drags JB by his hair, CLUBS him on his back, then paces about. Tully stands on JB’s hair out of the ref’s sight!

Dax drags JB up, snapmares him and wraps on a chinlock. Dax grinds JB down and thrashes him around into a stretch. Dax fish hooks JB’s face, the ref reprimands, so Dax jams an elbow into JB”s face! Dax clamps onto JB’s face again with a smothering chinlock! JB endures as Dax grinds his forearm in over an dover, but the ref reprimands. Dax lets off, taunts Stunt, but the ref keeps Stunt out. Dax puts JB in a corner and CHOPS him! AEW returns to single picture as the CHOPS fly, and JB hits a BIG back suplex! Both men are down, fans rally up, Cash tags in to intercept JB! Cash scoops and RAMS JB into a corner, to then SLAM him down!

Cash hops up and leaps, but the Vader Bomb gets BOOTS! JB is down, as is Cash, and fans rally as they crawl! Hot tags to Dax and LUCHASAURUS!

One way or another, the returning legend gets a win alongside the self-professed best tag team ever! And speaking of all that controversy, the man in the beanie was SHAWN SPEARS! The Chair Man returns, and is now on the team! Coach Arn is watching from the tunnel, and says he’s seeing this foursome. Is this a revival of the Horsemen?

 

Tony Schiavone is on stage with big news!

AEW is expanding and now has a third show of in-ring programming: Dark Elevation! And his cohost for that will be… THE GIANT, PAUL WIGHT! #NoMoreBS, but definitely big things for AEW! Schiavone is glad to have “G” here, and the fans are loving this! Did anyone see this turn coming? But that aside, Schiavone’s known Wight since he had long hair and a bright future. Wight is so happy to be in AEW. Fans chant “Welcome Home!” and Wight is definitely glad to be back on TNT. He is looking forward to working with the talent in AEW, and cohosting Elevation with Schiavone. There, Wight can do color commentary on the amazing and young talent!

But don’t worry, Wight will take this job seriously, too. He has a scoop! The biggest scoop EVER! Oh? This Sunday, AEW Revolution, they will hire and put under contract a Hall of Fame talent that will be a HUGE asset to AEW! But it’s not who you think. You’ll find out and Wight wants us to know you heard it here first! Who could Wight be suggesting?

 

AEW Women’s World Title Eliminator Tournament Finals: Nyla Rose w/ Vickie Guerrero VS Ryo Mizunami!

Two hard hitting wrestlers had hard fought roads to this moment! The Native Beast beat the Brazilian Blackbelt, the Doctor and the former NWA Women’s World Champion, while Aneki defeated “Fallen Idol” Maki Itoh, THE Aja Kong, and “Magical Girl” Yuka Sakazaki! The Full Metal Warrior, Hikaru Shida, is watching this one very closely, but which familiar foe will she be facing at Revolution?

The bell rings and the two circle as fans fire up. Ryo is fired up already but Nyla just doesn’t seem to get what’s going on with her.

AEW returns with Schiavone back in the ring.

The Street Fight at Revolution is coming, so Schiavone introduces… STIIIIING~! The snow, the crow and the Icon! Sting walks out and fans are fired up to see him. Schiavone says Sting came back with Darby Allin last week to take the fight back to Team Taz. Sting has never looked better, and Sting says it’s great Schiavone says that. It evolves every single week, but then Sting found out a couple weeks ago he wasn’t when he got powerbomb’d by Cage! But Sting thanks The Machine for shaking off that rust! Sting feels like he’s ready for that Street Fight!

But then Ricky Starks comes out to tell “Stinger Man” to pump the brakes. He’s here on his own, so don’t worry about an attack. Starks is sick of the “Budding romance.” We’ve seen things go back and forth, but Sting showed something Starks hadn’t seen. Sting tore it up, and Starks is man enough to admit he saw something he hadn’t seen, and that was the fire! Sting’s still got it! But even so, Starks still doesn’t see the Icon. He SLAPS Sting, so Sting DECKS Starks! Sting rips Starks’ shirt off and whips him out of his shoes to CLOBBER him! Starks flounders, Sting is on him for another whip! STINGER SPLASH!

The Icon and the Relentless run off Team Taz, but what happens when things are finally unleashed for the Street Fight!?

 

Face of the Revolution Ladder Match Qualifier: Preston Vance w/ The Dark Order VS Max Caster!

Number 10 surely heard Platinum’s diss track just for him, and now it’s time for him to respond directly! Scorpio Sky also watches from commentary to see who joins him, Cody Rhodes, Lance Archer and, if he is medically cleared, Penta El Zero M at Revolution! But first, Platinum gives us a special bonus track on Preston! “Listen! Listen! This guy’s big but a small talker. I shoot you up like Lady Gaga’s dog walker! This dude is mad soft, there is no future if you take your mask off! His names 10 but a 5 in the looks department. Like the fireball just hit Ronnie Garvin! Now you gettin’ burnt up! Platinum Max, I got this place turnt up!”

He ain’t done spittin’! Negative One ’bout to catch a butt whippin’! See Max in the streets- Negative One is fired up and Vance holds him back. Caster skips the rest and that was for the best, but who will get this won and head for Revolution?

The bell rings, Caster and Vance circle as fans rally. They tie up, Vance rolls Caster up, TWO! Caster scrambles away and tries to mock Vance still. Caster calls for a test of strength but kicks low. Caster clamps onto an arm, Vance powers out but Caster runs Vance over! Scorpio runs both guys down as being less skilled wrestlers, Caster runs but Vance goes to hip toss. Caster blocks but Vance blocks back to CLOBBER Caster! Cover, TWO! Vance drags Caster up, headlocks, but Caster powers out. Vance runs Caster over, things speed up, and Vance crossbodies! Cover, TWO! Vance keeps on Caster and hauls Caster up, but Caster gets away to a corner.

Vance CHOPS Caster, keeps him close and climbs up to rain down punches! Fans count and Vance gets only 4 before Caster slips out. Caster runs, only gets buckles, and Vance finishes the punches to get 10! Vance has fans fired up, runs in and CLOBBERS Caster out of the ring! Fans rally while Scorpio continues to talk trash on even Cody Rhodes and Lance Archer. Vance bumps Caster off the apron, then again, then runs in, only for Caster to POST him! Caster runs in to dropkick Vance into barriers!

AEW goes picture in picture as Caster mugs Vance and puts him in the ring. Cover, TWO! Caster grows annoyed, but he clamps onto an arm to grind Vance down. Vance fights up but Caster wrangles him down with a wristlock! Vance grinds forearms in Caster’s face but Caster holds on to drag Vance up again. Caster wrenches, yanks the arm, then whips Vance, only for Vance to reverse. Caster slips off the spinebuster and CLUBS Vance down! Caster pulls on the arm, hammerlocks it, and locks it down to taunt and KNEE Vance! Vance gets to a corner, Caster wraps the bad arm around ropes and pulls! The ref counts, Caster lets off at 4, and he goes after Vance in another corner.

Caster lets off just long enough to SNAP BRAINBUSTER Vance! Caster goes up top as Scorpio says that’s dumb, and Vance avoids the Mic Drop Elbow! Vance and Caster slowly rise again, and Vance runs in at the corner! Caster boots Vance, hops up, but Caster’s rana is blocked to a BOMB! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Caster survives and Vance can’t believe it! “This is Awesome!” as Vance drags Caster. Caster kicks Vance away, then yanks him into ropes! Caster distracts the ref, and is that Jack Evans with Anthony Bowens’ boombox?! Evans CRACKS Vance with it!! Evans slithers under the ring, Caster covers Vance, Caster wins!!

Winner: Max Caster, by pinfall (advances to the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match)

Scorpio says Caster will just be disappointed now because he’s going to lose that Ladder match! But wait, Evans did that favor to Caster as a way to get paid by #BigMoneyMatt! A whopping $4200 for taking out Number 10 of the Dark Order! This is all because Hardy hates Hangman for pulling one over on him! Caster is fine with that, but will he benefit from all 4200 reasons he just won?

 

AEW has big things for Revolution Weekend!

First of all, AEW Dark has a special airing on Saturday to fit in all the action before the PPV! Then, a Buy-In match has been made! Britt Baker & Rebel will face Thunder Rosa & Riho! Will The Doctor and her assistant be able to beat a former NWA Women’s Champion and a former AEW Women’s Champion in one match?

 

Miro speaks.

The Best Man gave “Charles” Taylor a week, but he couldn’t even face Miro like a man! Miro is just trying to protect Chuck but now he has to hurt him! The people will now get what they want: DESTRUCTION! Miro is going to stop playing games, and it will be GAME OVER for Chuck!! Will the Best Man and Kip “Superbad” Sabian put a stop to all the fun the Best Friends are having?

 

Matt Hardy & Marq Quen VS Hangman Page & John Silver!

Before the Big Money bet, Hardy and his other Private Party protégé will take on the Cowboy and Number 3! But after what we just saw Hardy pay Evans to do to Number 10, will Hangman & Johnny Hungy eat Hardy and Quen alive?

The teams sort out, Silver and Quen start and circle. Fans rally, Silver shoots in to TOSS Quen, then he clamps on with a headlock. Quen gets the ropebreak, Silver lets up, and Quen powers Silver to the corner. Hardy steps back as Quen lets off for the new ropebreak, and Hardy gets a cheap shot in! Quen clubs away on Silver, kicks him to a corner, then wrenches him to tag Hardy in. Hardy Party mugs Silver, Hardy wrenches but Silver ROCKS him! Silver headlocks, Hardy throws body shots, and powers out. Hangman tags in, Hardy shoves Silver at him! Hangman and Silver hug it out and Hardy eggs Hangman on, only to tag Quen back in.

Quen and Hangman circle, Hangman dodges the clothesline to fire off haymakers! AEW goes picture in picture as Hangman stomps away in the corner!

The ref counts, Hangman lets off, and Hangman is fired up as he scrapes Quen on the ropes! Hangman whips, back drops Quen high and hard, then swings on Hardy! Hardy gets away, Hangman goes back to Quen and drags him up. Tag to Silver, they mug Quen, and Silver whips Quen to back drop him high and hard, too! Silver’s friggin’ jacked, baby! Silver drags Quen up and bumps him off buckles. Tag to Hangman, they double whip Quen but Quen kicks them back!

Hangman drags Quen up, CHOPS him off his feet, then drags him back up. Hangman snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Quen hurries to ropes but Hangman drags him back up. Tag to Silver, they mug Quen at ropes, and Silver throws big haymakers! Quen ends up in a corner, Silver fires off more shots, then he TOSSES Quen across the way! Silver flexes on Hardy, looms over Quen, and brings him up for forearms. AEW returns to single picture as Silver military presses Quen. Quen slips off and shoves Silver to the apron and fires off!

Fans boo but Quen pie faces Hangman, only to run into a fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Fans fire up as Hangman drags Quen back up and throws him to the corner. Hangman dares Hardy to man up and tag in, but Quen bails out to regroup with Hardy instead. Hardy puts Quen back in, but Hangman kicks and suplexes him. Quen slips out to dropkick Hangman’s leg!

Silver reels Quen in to wheelbarrow, GERMAN SUPLEX, to the BUCK SHOT!! Hangman stares Hardy down and Hardy backs off! Cover, Hangman & Silver win!

Winners: Hangman Page & John Silver

But Hardy is a sore loser and he assaults the winners with a mic! Hardy tells Hangman that he hates him, and in their Big Money Match, Hardy will take everything from Hangman! This was all just a trap! Hardy is going to make it so Hangman won’t even make it to Revolution! But here comes the rest of the Dark Order to attack Hardy! Maybe Hardy is the one who won’t make it to the PPV! But here come the Casino Battle Royal field! Butcher and Blade, Chaos Project, Cezar Bononi & “Pretty” Peter Avalon attack the Dark Order, but then they’re countered by Bear Country, the Varsity Blondes, the Natural Nightmares, the Sydal Brothers and SCU!! It is tag team turmoil in the ring to say the least, and Negative One is just reveling in it from the stage!

BUT HERE COMES DEATH TRIANGLE!! PAC & Fenix are last minute entries in that match and they want to get their shots in! Hardy tries to run away but Negative One tells him he’s in for a bad time on Sunday! Will Hangman be the one to bankrupt Big Money Matt after the Revolution?


My Thoughts:

An awesome episode for AEW, and even a great go-home. I didn’t think we’d open with the Mixed Tag, but Shaq was great, of course Jade was good, and though Shaq took that table spot, it makes sense for his team to win. Jade has been waiting a long time for this debut so it makes sense for her to win and start her career off strong. Shaq’s disappearing act was interesting, I have no idea what that could mean. We got a great Six Man out of FTR and Jurassic Express, but I should’ve figured FTR finds a way to cheat and win. Shawn Spears being part of that is a natural move, and it just makes sense that he is part of their faction now. I don’t know if “FTR” will be the name that applies to the group or if they’ll have some new name, but it’s about time this happened.

Nyla VS Ryo was a great match, and I am happily surprised that Ryo won. As great in story it would’ve been for Nyla and Shida to have a rematch from Double or Nothing, I feel like it is much better for everyone watching to see Shida VS Ryo, which we certainly haven’t seen in AEW and hasn’t happened in some time. With that match up, I feel like the title match could go either way. If Ryo wins, that’d freshen up some things, even though Shida hasn’t faced everyone yet. Nyla is still considered top ranked contender, so she could still face the winner from Revolution over the Summer, and we could even work our way to Shida VS Nyla at Double or Nothing 2021, almost one year after the previous match-up.

Sting and Darby had another short spot with Team Taz, but I have no idea if it adds anything to what we’ve already seen. We got a great segment with the Inner Circle and Young Bucks, where another AEW press conference of course has Eric Bischoff for last. The Bucks had a great response promo and then a great double table spot. Maybe a little risky, but what else is new for these two? I feel like standing tall here could mean the Bucks lose, and that could also suggest who is coming out of the Casino Tag Battle Royal. PAC & Fenix win fast and then get in on the tag brawl at the end of the night. I don’t see them winning, but them getting in makes sense with Penta in the ladder match.

Speaking of, Caster VS Vance was a great match, but it makes a lot of sense in story for Vance to get screwed over by Hardy and Evans. I had a feeling the other night with Dark that Caster was going to win since Archer is already the powerhouse in that match. There is still one spot left, so either the bonus Dark gives us that qualifier, or that sixth person is the person Paul Wight introduces. That latter possibility would actually be pretty big, because Wight promises that will be a (WWE) Hall of Famer, someone everyone knows yet “not who we’d expect.” No idea who that could be, but I’d love to see them show up and do big things in the ladder match.

Meanwhile, Hardy loses the tag match tonight, but doesn’t stand tall even after he attacks, so the math makes me think Hangman loses his Q1 earnings. I feel like that’d work in story, because then Hangman can #JoinDarkOrder and lean on them for support. Hangman’s struggles have been great pacing in his AEW career, and maybe even his career as a whole, so giving up money to find the friendships that will really build him back up is a great element to that. With this, Hangman can totally become AEW World Champion come All Out 2021 or so.

My Score: 9.6/10

AEW TBS Championship House Rules: Julia Hart VS Trish Adora!

The Princess of the Black Throne may have Willow Nightingale chasing after her, but she’s still going to be a fighting champion. But will Julia regret gambling with her gold? Or will the AfroPunk making this about tonight’s wild card match be just the mind game she needs to win?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the House starts tonight strong!

BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!

Not only is it live on Wednesday night after Dynamite, but Julia hart will be back in action as she and Skye Blue take on Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale in a Street Fight! Will Stokely Hathaway not need to tempt Kris & Willow with steel chains when anything and everything is legal?

 

Backstage interview with The Outcasts.

Lexi Nair is with Harley Cameron & Zak Knight and says last night, we saw things come to a head with Angelo Parker. Parker challenged Zak to a match tonight, what does he say? What does Zak say? Parker wants Zak in a match? Next joke, pal. Zak will give Parker that fight, but not here in Canada! Zak’s not giving Parker a homefield advantage, bruh! Harley says what pathetic country even is this? Do Canadians even realize that it’s Zak’s queen on their money? And what does Parker even have to offer? Poutine? Ice? Moose? Maple syrup? Syrup on moose? Zak has Harley calm down so they can get to the point.

If Parker wants to Zak, Zak will give him a fight but on his terms! Let’s be having ya! If not tonight, then just when and where is Zak going to fight Cool Hand Ange?

 

Daniel Garcia VS Lee Moriarty w/ Shane Taylor!

The Dragonslayer and #TAIGASTYLE have a lot in common, from being great young technical wrestlers with gritty grapples and stinging strikes in their arsenals, but also in being two of the names the Blackpool Combat Club once named as prospects for their mission of molding the future. Both men want to prove they ARE the future, so who steps over the other to lead the way?

The bell rings and the two rush up! Garcia dodges a boot, Lee dodges a chop, then Lee arm-drags Garcia but Garcia headscissors. Lee pops free, Garcia sweeps and covers, ONE! Lee sweeps but Garcia avoids the basement dropkick! Garcia headlocks for the takeover, Lee headscissors, but Garcia moves around. Garcia hops around, pops free, and he does his dance! The fans fire up but Lee scowls. Lee takes a swing but Garcia dodges to CHOP! And CHOP! Garcia whips, Lee reverses, but then Garcia goes up and over! Garcia comes back, fakes a punch to kick out a leg! Garcia runs to basement dropkick hard!

Lee tumbles out of the ring, the fans fire up but Shane coaches Lee up. The fans rally as Garcia goes out and fetches Lee. Garcia puts Lee in, but Shane gets in Garcia’s face! The fans boo but Lee DIVES to take Garcia out! Lee poses but fans boo. Lee stands on Garcia, soaks up the heat, and then drags Garcia up. Lee puts Garcia in the ring, runs up and sweeps the legs to basement dropkick in return! Cover, TWO! Garcia kicks at Lee so Lee stomps him down. Lee stalks Garcia to a corner, CHOKES him, but the ref counts. Lee lets off at 4, then argues with the ref. Shane gets a cheap shot! The fans boo, especially as Lee mocks the dance!

Lee stomps Garcia, stands him up, but Garcia fires forearms! Lee catches one to BELLY2BELLY! Then Lee twists the arm and bends the fingers! Lee powers Garcia’s arm into itself! Garcia endures and fights up, and the fans rally behind him. Garcia throws body shots, shoves Lee, then bobs ‘n’ weaves to then fire off hands from all sides! The fans fire up as Garcia puts Lee in a corner and stomps away! The ref counts, Garcia stands on Lee but he lets off at 4. Garcia goes corner to corner but blocks a kick! Garcia spins Lee to CHOP BLOCK! Garcia then GROUND DRAGON SCREWS the leg, then JAMS it up!

The fans fire up and Garcia watches Lee rise. Garcia choke grips, Lee breaks free, but Garcia SLAPS him! And SAIDOS! Cover, TWO!

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 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.

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.

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.

Buddy ELBOWS Bravo, taunts Dean, then BOOTS him down! Bravo runs up, Buddy goes up an dover, but Bravo dodges the splash!

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!

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

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?

 

The Outcasts are backstage.

Saraya is sick and tired of this, and she tells the cameraman to follow her and Harley. Saraya’s brother, Zak, wants a fight, so he’s gonna get a fight. Harley fires up Zak, and points out some randos. Zak TOSSES one against a wall! The other guy gets in Zak’s face, so Zak says “Make me have at ya!” The guy swings on Zak, Zak ducks, and then BLACKJACKS the guy down! Zak is snarling, but then Saraya points out ANGELO PARKER is here! Cool Hand Ange says, “I’ll be having ya!” They brawl, Parker ducks the blackjack, and security rushes in! Things are only getting more intense, what will it take to put this to bed?

 

Toni Storm & Mariah May w/ Luther VS Kayla Sparks & Little Mean Kathleen!

The AEW Women’s World Champion and the Toni Award Winning protege are finally teaming together in another dream come true for Mariah May. But before the match begins, “Timeless” Toni gets the mic to say please, please be seated. She is “Timeless” Toni Storm, your AEW Women’s World Champion! The fans cheer, and Toni introduces her protege. Now, tonight, they will be performing a very special tag team match, so please enjoy the show, and turn off all cellular devices. And as for Deonna Purrazzo…! If you and your little mystery partner want to get a closer look, then watch this!

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
