10 Man Elimination Tag Title Eliminator: The Super Elite VS Hangman Page & The Dark Order!

Fans go nuts as Hangman Page has an opening vignette. “What is it that makes a cowboy? It’s not the boots or the buckle. It’s not the chaps, it’s not the jeans. It’s not the lasso or the cattle. It’s not the horse or the saddle. You might think they’re all long gone, but you don’t need a hat to be a cowboy. A cowboy isn’t too busy to lend a hand to a partner. Not to proud to take one, either. And when they get knocked to the dirt, bloodied and trampled, a cowboy dusts themselves off and gets back up. And they’ll stand by their partners and challenge those who have it all. And they’ll keep riding ’til they find inner peace.”

Spotlights go up one at a time to reveal Colt Cabana, Alan Angels, Preston Vance, Evil Uno, Stu Grayson, John Silver and Alex Reynolds. And up the middle is Hangman himself! The posse rolls together to the ring as Hangman wears the Dark Order purple and black! But now, “The starting line-up for your world champion Elite Squad!” At guard, Karl Anderson! The man in the middle, Doc Gallows! Forwards, Nick “Trick Shot” Jackson and “Mr. Instant Replay,” Matt Jackson! And the only person from NOOOOORTH CAROLINA, Kenny “Air” OOOOOOOOOMEEEEGAAAA! So they’re Space Jamming now? And they run through the banner to do slam dunks in the honestly non-regulation hoop. But will Hangman and his partners create their own new legacy?

The teams sort out and Hangman starts. Omega says if Hangman wants him, he’ll have to wait! Fans are thunderous for “COWBOY S*IT” as Anderson steps to Hangman. Anderson and Hangman tie up, Hangman headlocks but Anderson powers out, only for Hangman to run him over. Things speed up, Anderson leaps but into Hangman’s arms for a FALL AWAY SLAM! Fans fire up even more but the Bucks talk trash, and that allowed Omega to blindside Hangman! But the Dark Order rushes in and it is chaos! There’s brawling all over, The Elite get control and Gallows mugs Stu. The Elite call for it, but the Dark Order hits QUADRUPLE PLEXES!

The Elite bails out, the Dark Order chases after, and Reynolds climbs up. Nick goes after him but Reynolds trips him up! Reynolds gets Nick up to SUPERPLEX out onto everyone! Fans are thunderous as they lose their minds over that shot from downtown! Hangman gets Anderson up and into the ring, CHOPS him, and tags in Reynolds. Reynolds goes after Anderson but Anderson kicks back and EuroUppers. Anderson whips, “Get ‘im, boys!” Matt runs screaming in to clothesline! Nick runs screaming in to clothesline! Omega runs to JUMP and back elbow! Anderson runs in to uppercut! Gallows runs in but misses! And the rest of Dark Order drags the others out!

STUNNER TO GERMAN, JACKKNIFE! Cover, but Gallows saves it! Gallows swings on Reynolds but is sent out with a clothesline! Anderson rolls Reynolds holding tights!! Anderson ELIMINATES Reynolds!! Fans boo as The Elite Squad gloat and celebrate. Uno steps up, though, and he calls the Machine Gun out.

But then Anderson doesn’t see the Dark Order trip up The Elite again! He’s alone with Uno, Stu, Silver and Hangman! Anderson tries to use his dance moves to diffuse the situation, but he ends up in a Dark Order pinball machine! Then a FATALITY!! Cover, Uno ELIMINATES Anderson!! Matt runs in but Uno throws forearms! Uno bumps Matt off buckles, Stu keeps him near and Silver tags in to mug Matt. Silver bumps Matt off buckles, fans are fired up to see Silver TOSS Matt across the ring! He’s freakin’ jacked, baby! Brandon Cutler hurries with the cold spray but Silver TOSSES Matt the other way!

Cutler again cools Matt down but Silver puts him in the corner as AEW goes picture in picture. Stu tags in, then tags Uno. They get Matt up but Matt throws forearms on them both! But he gets popped up into Electric Chair, then tossed into a POWERBOMB! Cover, Omega breaks it! Hangman is furious but Stu gets Matt back in the corner. Tag to Silver, they stomp and punch Matt and fire off forearms. Silver snapmares Matt then KICKS him in the chest! And again! And… CRANE KICK! Silver is fired up, he gets Matt over to the corner and Stu tags in, but both he and Uno mug Matt. Stu springboards for the elbow drop sidewalk slam! Cover, but Nick drags Stu away!

The Dark Order protests but the ref tells them to go back to their corner. Stu gets Matt back up and in an open corner to CHOP him! And whip him corner to corner, but Matt reverses, only for Stu to rebound and CLOBBER Matt! Stu keeps between Matt and the Elite, and then drags Matt back up. Stu CHOPS Matt off his feet! Matt sits up and sputters, glares at Hangman, but Stu CHOPS and forearms him! And then torture racks, but Matt fights off! Matt CLUBS away on Stu, CLAWS his back, and tags in Gallows. Matt holds Stu up, Gallows runs, but Stu switches! Gallows stops before he boots Matt, and Matt switches back, so they try again. Stu ducks and Gallows BOOTS Matt!

The Elite all stand together as they dare Hangman to get in. Hangman watches them but Omega says they should do this properly. Omega goes back to the corner, tags in, and now Hangman has his 1v1 with the champ. Omega throws the Space Jam jersey off and talks trash with Hangman. Omega SPITS at Hangman, so Hangman fires hands! They brawl, Hangman gets the edge and runs, but into a V-TRIGGER! Omega runs, but into a ROLLING ELBOW! Hangman fires up and runs, but into DOUBLE SUPERKICKS from the Bucks! Omega hits a SNAP DRAGON!

Winners: The Super Elite, by pinfall; Kenny Omega and Nick Jackson are the survivors

Hangman put up the most valiant effort of AEW history, but he and the Dark Order could not defeat The Elite! And now, they have no clear route to the titles! Is there no stopping Omega and the Bucks in their reigns of terror?

 

Backstage interview with PAC.

Alex Marvez points out that this was meant to be a Death Triangle interview, but obviously the Lucha Brothers aren’t here. No, no, no. That’s where you’re wrong! Rey Fenix & Penta El Zero M are here, but the lads are stuck at the airport because someone has cancelled their car ride here. Pac wonders who that could be. And with that, Andrade El Idolo and Chavo Guerrero walk in and sarcastically compliment Pac. Pac looks great but is lonely. The Lucha Bros are having trouble? Well that’s alright, Andrade’s people can get Pac’s people a limousine. Oh sorry, Pac probably doesn’t know what those are. Limos are like really long cars that people ride in.

So the Lucha Bros are on their way, and in style! Chavo promises. Andrade tells his “little friend” he should learn to drive, and also learn that there are people out there just better than him. Because if Pac doesn’t, the Lucha Bros could always work for someone else. For who? Who knows. Andrade heads out, but will Fenix & Penta stay loyal to The Bastard?

 

Taz is on a special platform.

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Give it up for the NEW FTW World Champion, from New Orleans, Louisiana, it is Absolute Ricky Starks! Starks and the rest of Team Taz head out and there’s a New Orleans brass band playing him to the ring with The Saints Go Marching In! There’s even a young lady to give Starks a bouquet of roses and a kiss! Orange roses to match the title? Starks lets Hook hold onto the flowers as he gets a mic. Give it up for the band there, they were great. If Hobbs was here, he’d be loving it, but the Powerhouse is recruiting.

But two weeks ago, history was made in Austin, Texas when Starks became the NEW FTW Champion, and got rid of the garbage that is Brian Cage. Now listen up, Cage. Starks has been the glue and the anchor of Team Taz because he knows his part. Starks can let certain things slide, like when Cage was in the back vanity searching himself and trying to befriend every Tom, Dick ‘n’ Harry online while Starks was covering up the problems Cage caused. Starks can forgive that, he’s a good man. And when Cage was costing the team matches, that Starks can forgive. But what Starks can’t forgive and forget is that when Starks broke his neck, Cage didn’t even check up on him!

And when Cage didn’t check up on Starks, Starks realized Cage is just selfish, inconsiderate and doesn’t know what “Teamwork” means. Starks does! Starks also knows what it is to be a star, something Cage has been trying to figure out for the past 17 YEARS. “And when they stood you next to me, you still couldn’t get an ounce of charisma to rub off on you!” Week after week, Cage- Wait, Cage is heading out now! Starks grows very worried, as does Taz. Cage CLOBBERS the band! He takes the bass drum and SMASHES it on the drummer! And he takes the trombone into the ring to BREAK it! Starks throws the roses at Cage and runs away!

Cage glares as Starks and Hook get up the ramp to the stage. Will The Machine look to absolutely crush Starks and take back the FTW title?

 

AEW hears from NJPW’s Ace!!

“This is New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Master of the Century, Hiroshi Tanahashi. I’ve gotta say, the IWGP US Heavyweight Championship has quite a charm to it. I’ve won a lot of titles in my career so far, but I’ve never been the US Champ. So I’ll be challenging the winner of tonight’s title match! And I’ll be taking that title in a snap.” Big news and a big challenge issued by Tanahashi! Will it be the Murderhawk Monster or Bullet Club’s towering Tongan that gets to accept it?

 

Santana & Ortiz w/ Konnan VS FTR w/ Tully Blanchard!

This has been going on for months within the Inner Circle VS Pinnacle war, but now the battle of NYC VS NC finally has it out 2v2! Will Proud ‘n’ Powerful put Dax & Cash down in their hometown? Or will FTR #SayYeah to a big win between two Top 5 AEW tag teams?

AEW goes picture in picture as Dax bumps Ortiz off buckles. Tag to Cash, FTR mugs Ortiz in the corner! The ref counts, Dax lets off at 4 and Cash gets in to bring Ortiz up to a headlock.

AEW returns as Ortiz rolls and ENZIGURIS Cash down! Fans fire up as both men crawl, Dax tags in again to again whip Ortiz away. But Ortiz comes back to CLOBBER Dax! Fans rally, Ortiz rolls to tag Santana in! Santana rallies on FTR, BOOT for Cash and forearms for Dax! Santana whips Dax, Dax reverses but Santana dodges in the corner to get him up for a back suplex SLAM! Then a catapult into the corner! Dax bounces off post, Santana FLIES to take out Dash!

Santana whips, Dax reverses and clotheslines in a corner! Dax runs but Santana follows to clothesline him back!

Santana whips Dax back the other way, Dax comes back to clothesline! Santana stays up, roars, and reels Dax in for a GERMAN! Dax is right up, he roars and LARIATS Santana!

The medics check on Cash’s arm, it is bleeding! But Dax handles PNP well enough, will FTR move on from them to go after the Young Bucks again?

 

Tony Schiavone interviews Britt Baker & Rebel.

The AEW Women’s World Champion says that Nyla Rose has proven twice now that she does break bitches. But unfortunately for Nyla, Britt is the Baddest Bitch on the Block, and she made the Native Beast tap out with a broken freakin’ wrist! And Britt isn’t dumb, she keeps getting hurt. Reba/Rebel got hurt because she keeps protecting Britt from everyone gunning for her. So Britt says it is appropriate to find someone to help cover them both, because it sure as hell isn’t any of the fans.

Everyone watching live and at home, as long as Britt wears the title, they wear jealousy. You’re all sitting there, holding your breath, waiting for her to fail. You’re going to suffocate. Yours Truly, Britt Baker, DMD. But if Britt’s ego keeps growing, will it just make the target on her back bigger?

 

AEW returns with Schiavone on the stage.

“It is great to be back home in Charlotte, North Carolina. Fans, we have a very special announcement on behalf of Tony Khan and AEW. As you know, Rampage will debut on Friday night, August 13th. We now have another special announcement for Rampage. The very next week, Friday, August 20th, Rampage comes to Chicago at the United Center, for ‘The First Dance!'” Tickets on sale this Monday! Fans chant “CM PUNK!” in hopes that Chicago’s own will be there for that. Schiavone then throws it over to Alex Marvez backstage.

 

Marvez interviews Darby Allin & Sting!

He brings up the huge news about AEW going to Chicago for #TheFirstDance, and Darby says he’ll be there. Darby’s been around a lot of men in the world who have claimed to be the greatest. There’s only one place to really prove that: right here in AEW. “Even if you think you’re the Best in the World.” A not so veiled challenge from the Relentless One! Will Darby look to test himself against a certain straightedge?

 

IWGP United States Championship: Lance Archer w/ Jake the Snake Roberts VS Hikuleo!

The Ace has made it known he wants a shot at this title! But after that hellacious Texas Deathmatch with Jon Moxley, the Murderhawk Monster is ready to topple even a towering Tongan! But Hikuleo has a surprise for us all: his father, KING HAKU, is here! Will having one of the toughest men in the business in his corner help Hikuleo take this title and go after Tanahashi?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and it’s like Clash of the Titans in Carolina!

The two get face to face to stare the other down. Hikuleo is taller but Archer can still reach him with a choke grip! Hikuleo choke grips back but Archer breaks free to BOOT Hikuleo away! Archer back elbows in the corner, runs corner to corner, and back elbows again! Archer keeps going to hit another back elbow! Fans fire up as Archer climbs up and rains down fists! Hiku stops that at 5 to SIT-OUT BOMB! Cover, TWO! Archer survives, Hiku talks trash and gets Archer up to throw forearms. Hiku fireman’s carries but Archer fights off to ROCK Hiku with a right! Archer tells Hiku he ain’t nothing, then ROCKS him more! Archer runs, into a SPINNING POWERSLAM!

Hiku gets Archer up to ROCK Archer with a forearm! Archer hits back but Hiku knees low. Hiku SMACKS Archer off railing, swaggers about, but he brings Archer around to whip, only for Archer to reverse! Hiku hits railings HARD, and Archer fires up! The ref wants this to get in the ring, Archer drags Hiku up and ROCKS him with a right hand. And DOUBLE CHOPS him against railing! Hiku fires up but Archer CHOPS and CLUBS him down! Archer puts Hiku in the ring, but Haku is there to go after him! Choke grip and a RAM into the railing! Hiku keeps the ref from seeing all this and Haku gets away.

Archer slowly gets up but Hiku goes out after him. Hiku stands Archer up to CHOP him against railing! Archer staggers, Hiku chases after and CHOPS him against apron! Archer CHOPS back, gets in the ring, but Hiku pursues. Hiku kicks Archer, scoops him and SLAMS him! Hiku looms over Archer, Haku coaches him, and Hiku gets Archer up. Archer hits back so Hiku stomps him down! Hiku gets Archer back up and aims his finger gun as AEW returns to single picture. Archer grabs at Hiku’s face but Hiku headbutts him! Hiku CHOPS Archer, runs, but Archer follows to CLOBBER him! Hiku gets up and runs at Archer but Archer BOOTS him!

Archer wants the inverted crucifix, brings Hiku out, and BLACK OUT BOMBS! Cover, Archer wins!

Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall (still IWGP United States Champion)

#EverybodyDies, but retaining his title means Archer gets to aim at the Ace! Will the Once in a Century Talent be able to overcome the Murderhawk Monster and add this title to his incredible résumé? Or will Archer add Tanahashi to the list of great talent he has toppled?

 

Alex Marvez interviews Cody Rhodes.

The American Nightmare is backstage at the gorilla position, and gets off his headset as Marvez brings up Dynamite Homecoming, Cody VS Malakai Black. Cody says, “So much happening in our world-” MALAKAI ATTACKS! He DECKS Cody right next to Tony Khan, then drags him up to bring him around and throw into road cases! Cody hits back but they brawl up the steps towards the stage! Fans fire up as this brawl ends up ringside! Cody hits the Rhodes Uppercut! But Malakai gets right up to KNEE Cody down! Fans are fired up for “MALAKAI!” as he crouches by Cody. “You hear them? Welcome to the House of Black.” Will the Dark Father end the American Nightmare at Daily’s Place?

As Malakai still stands over Cody, security and other wrestlers run out to check on Cody. Malakai grabs Fuego Del Sol to give him a BLACK MASS!! Referees shout at Malakai to leave but he stays on stage, watching Fuego and Cody menacingly. Will there be anything left of Cody after Dynamite’s Homecoming?

 

Miro speaks.

“The TNT title is known for giving an open challenge. But ever since I won it, suddenly all these challengers have dried up. But next week, God’s Favorite Champion will fight! But not because Lee Johnson asked for it, but rather he was tricked with prizes and competitions.” Miro sees Johnson’s talent, but he cannot take Miro’s divine right away from him! No one can, and we all know it! Miro is a simple man that is motivated by two things: a vengeful God and a double jointed wife. So if you think you have what it takes, you can run away or face Miro like a man. But either way, a glorious reckoning is upon you! This is the word of the Redeemer!

 

QT Marshall sends a note to Schiavone.

Despite how adamant The Factory’s leader was about apologizing to Schiavone for pouring the protein shake on him, QT has decided to wait until next week. That way, the entire Schiavone family could be there to witness the apology. How “benevolent” of him, but will QT actually follow through for Dynamite’s Homecoming?

 

Six Man Tag: Christian Cage & Jurassic Express VS The Hardy Family Office w/ Matt Hardy!

Captain Charisma has had it up to here with Big Money Matt and his moneygrubbing minions, so he is teaming up with Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus to take the fight to the HFO! Will Christian, JB and the wrestling dinosaur make Angelico & Private Party pay for everything they and Hardy have done?

The trios sort out, Christian steps up and starts with Angelico. Fans rally up, Angelico and Christian approach, but Angelico kicks low to waistlock and spin Christian to hammerlock and hip toss! Christian gets up as Angelico swaggers, but Christian keeps cool. Christian and Angelico tie up, Christian wrenches, but Angelico uses ropes to flip through, only for Christian to ROCK him with an uppercut! Christian DECKS Angelico, tags in JB, and fans fire up as they double whip and double hip toss Angelico down! JB covers, ONE! JB keeps on Angelico with a wrench, Angelico spins but JB wrenches again to keep the wristlock.

JB knuckle locks, CHOPS, and goes up and up and around to arm-drag Angelico away! Angelico gets up but into a dropkick! Fans fire up as JB goes after Angelico. Angelico throws JB at ropes and Isiah Kassidy holds them open so JB tumbles out! JB gets up to trip Kassidy off the apron and throw him into railing! But Angelico distracts the ref so Hardy can SUCKER PUNCH JB! Christian chases Hardy, as does Marko Stunt! They chase Hardy out of ringside but Kassidy puts JB in.

Winners: Christian Cage & Jurassic Express, by pinfall

Stunt returns to celebrate, and Christian hugs it out with his teammates. Will Christian’s undefeated streak continue until HE is the #1 contender? But wait, BLADE sucker punches Christian with brass knuckles! Big Money Matt applauds his mercenary taking the initiative, did Blade just cut down Christian’s run?

 

AEW hears from Nick Gage.

“Chris Jericho, what do you think you’re gonna do to me tonight that hasn’t been done to me before? Barbed wire, light tubes, I’ve been through it all! And I’m here tonight to make sure you don’t see labor number three. Because I’m the Deathmatch King! I’m gonna leave you in pain! I’m gonna leave you all cut up! You’re gonna look in that mirror and you’re gonna know that Nick Gage did that to you. You are gonna be feeling pain for the rest of your life! MDK, all day!”

 

Thunder Rosa VS Julia Hart w/ The Varsity Blonds!

La Mera Mera is finally All Elite, but that only means the real work begins! Will she take the two-time World Cheerleading Champion seriously and add her to the win streak?

The bell rings, the two circle, and fans rally for Rosa. Rosa and Julia tie up, Rosa headlocks and hits a takeover. Julia moves around and headscissors but Rosa kips free. They go again, Rosa headlocks but Julia fights up. Julia powers out, things speed up, and Rosa rolls Julia to a cover, TWO! Julia turns around into a sweep, cover, ONE! Julia sweeps, covers, ONE! The two stand off and fans cheer. The two circle as Julia waves to the fans and gets them to rally up. But Rosa rolls and picks a leg to trip her up! ANKLE LOCK! Julia scrambles, gets the ropebreak, but Rosa lets off. The Blonds coach Julia but Rosa is on her with forearms! And a CHOP!

Rosa bumps Julia off buckles, CHOPS her, then COHPS her again. Rosa whips Julia corner to corner and runs in to hit an A-List Lariat! Julia is down, Rosa goes up, SWINGING DOUBLE KNEES! Fans fire up as Rosa digs her boot into Julia. The ref counts, Rosa lets off and she gets Julia back up to throw forearms! Julia sputters, Rosa lets off as the ref counts, and Rosa goes corner to corner again, but Julia dodges the dropkick! Julia gets up, runs in, handsprings to a lariat! Julia headlocks but no bulldog, Rosa trips Julia to a KNEEBAR! Julia endures, crawls, reaches, and gets the ropebreak! The ref counts, Rosa lets go at 4.

Julia stands, Rosa runs in, gets around, but Julia elbows hard! Rosa holds on to RAM Julia into a corner! Rosa goes corner to corner to basement dropkick! Fans fire up as Rosa gets Julia up, scoop and FIRE THUNDER DRIVER! Cover, Rosa wins

Winner: Thunder Rosa, by pinfall

And with that, Rosa is truly ready to be All Elite! But will she become the AEW Women’s World Championship in the near future?

 

AEW has more in store for Dynamite Homecoming!

Not only will Malakai take on Cody and Miro defend his TNT Championship against Big Shotty Lee Johnson, there will be an NWA Women’s World Championship Contender’s Match! The Bunny takes on #LEGIT Leyla Hirsch, the winner moving on to take on Serena Deeb! Then, after that blindside attack, The Blade must now face Christian Cage fair and square! Matt Hardy has Blade’s back but Jungle Boy has Christian’s! Will Captain Charisma break The Blade’s edge as AEW returns to Daily’s Place?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

“Last time you saw me, I was crawling out of a pit of barbed wire well. That’s all good, that’s easy money, that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I’m here to talk about last night, when I’m sitting at the airport bar, and I look up at the TV and I’m watching the Olympics, and I wonder, ‘How the hell did the French and the Croatian water polo teams get into Japan when I can’t?'” Moxley has business in Tokyo, from challenges going unanswered to his contracts being sent back unsigned to phone calls being unanswered.

And then the second Moxley no longer has the IWGP US Championship around his waist, now Tanahashi wants to put his pretty little face on TV, show up on Dynamite with his stupid little side ponytail. Tanahashi’s been dodging Moxley for months, but the people don’t know that. In that case, screw Tanahashi! Tanahashi’s dead to Moxley. Moxley sent his boy, Charlie, to FedEx with a stack of contracts and told him to send it to the boys in the NJPW office. We’ll see what comes through “the fOrBiDdEn DoOr~!” Moxley IS the forbidden door!

And Tanahashi, maybe you’re the only smart one here. Maybe he learned from his boys, Nagata and Suzuki, what happens. Forbidden doors might be open, but nothing good is waiting for them on the other side. Tanahashi wants the US title, Archer has it, will The Ace get the gold so that Moxley can hit two birds with one Paradigm Shift?

 

Five Labours of Jericho, Chapter 2 – No Rules Match: Chris Jericho VS Nick Gage!

The Demo God made it through The Chair Man and that didn’t sit well with Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Round two really raises the stakes as MJF brings in the #MDKGang leader, but Jericho is ready. He sees MJF’s ringer and raises him one PAINMAKER! Will either man even survive tonight? Or can Jericho overcome the Deathmatch king to make it into chapter three?

Jericho still revels in the fans singing Judas for him, but he gets serious as Gage makes his way to the ring. MJF then joins commentary to make sure Jericho does this on his own. He even has popcorn! The bell rings and Gage has his pizza cutter already! They circle, and Gage swipes at Jericho and catches Jericho on the arm! Jericho is bleeding but not too bad. MJF revels in that, and the brawl is on! Jericho made Gage drop his cutter and he throws hands. Jericho runs but into a SPINEBUSTER! Fans rally and duel as Gage paces. Gage runs to BOOT WASH Jericho in a corner! Jericho bails out, Gage goes out and runs in around the way to fire forearms!

Gage headbutts, Jericho staggers, but Gage taunts fans and Jericho throws hands back! Jericho whips Gage into railing! Jericho gets Gage into the ring, the one rule in this match is to win in the ring. Jericho climbs but Gage throws hands! Gage climbs up to join Jericho, and hits a SUPERPLEX! Gage holds on to get Jericho back up for a FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO! Jericho survives as fans rally and duel even harder! Gage grins as Jericho gets to a corner. Gage runs side to side again but Jericho trips him up! Jericho has the legs, turns Gage, WALLS OF JERICHO! Gage endures, MJF shouts, Gage gets the ropes but there’s no ropebreaks or disqualifications!

Gage drags himself, Jericho can’t hold on while they’re in the ropes, and Jericho lets Gage go. Gage tumbles to the floor, Jericho goes out after him and gets Gage up. Jericho throws headlock punches on Gage’s scarred scalp. But Gage RAMS Jericho into a post! Gage goes around the way to look under the ring, and he brings out… LIGHT TUBES!! MJF says, “Here we go, boys!” But Jericho has Floyd the Baseball Bat! They both get in the ring, armed with their favorites, and Jericho waits on Gage to turn around to CRACK him in the ribs! And on the back! MJF protests but this isn’t cheating in a No Rules Match!

Jericho is bleeding from the forehead, he CLUBS Gage with it, but Gage catches him for an URENAGE BACKBREAKER! MJF is happy again as Gage gets the PIZZA CUTTER back! Fans fire up as Gage brings the cutter over to Jericho, and SLICES INTO THE FOREHEAD!!! Even MJF is shocked! Fans call Gage, “YOU SICK F***!” as AEW goes picture in picture.

Gage revels in the fans calling him out for being sick, and he kisses the cutter, before he SLICES JERICHO UP MORE!! Gage lets off because he wants this torture to last the rest of the night! Jericho crawls, Gage eggs the fans on, and he gets Jericho on ropes to SLICE HIM UP MORE!! Jericho can only flail until Gage lets off and CLUBS him down! Gage goes out to fetch a chair, and then another chair, and then another chair. Gage gets back in with these chairs, gets his light tubes, and he waits on Jericho to get up. Jericho headbutts low and throws forearms! Gage kicks Jericho down, gets a chair and presses it down on him, before an elbow drop!

Gage goes back out to look under the ring again. There’s no more chairs but he makes a ring crew guy help him find something. The ring crew guy gets a PANE OF GLASS! Gage SMACKS Jericho on the back with a chair, and AEW returns to single picture as Gage puts chairs together. Gage gets the glass onto the chairs to make a makeshift glass table. Gage drags Jericho to be under the glass, and goes up top! But Jericho gets up to CLUB Gage! MJF panics as Jericho lines up the shot! Jericho climbs up to the very top, rains down fists, MJF gets pissed, and then Jericho SUPER STEINERS Gage through the glass!!! Fans lose their minds as Gage writhes in pain!

MJF is stunned, he didn’t think Jericho would take it to this level. Jericho crawls and covers, TWO!! Gage wags his finger, he isn’t done yet! Jericho throws things out of the way, MJF vows Jericho loses, but Jericho SMACKS Gage with a chair. Gage shakes his head? Jericho runs in, but no Code Breaker! SPINEBUSTER on the glass shards! Gage gets his light tube again! And SMACKS one across Jericho’s back! MJF is so happy right now as Jericho takes a LIGHT TUBE HEADSHOT! Gage gets Jericho up to PILEDRIVER Jericho on glass shards! Cover, TWO!?!? Jericho survives and Gage is upset, but not as much as MJF.

Gage gets another light tube and just breaks it on his knee! Gage has a jagged piece of the tube and JABS it into Jericho’s forehead again and again! Gage breaks another tube to DIG it into Jericho’s face!! Gage goes out to bring out MORE light tubes from under the ring! He’s got some four packs and fans can’t even imagine what Gage is up to with these. Gage brings the packs in, runs at Jericho, but Jericho SPITS MIST?! Where’d he get that from!? Jericho gets the four pack and SMASHES it on Gage’s head! JUDAS EFFECT!! Cover, JERICHO WINS!!

Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall

MJF is pissed off all over again and ruins the celebration! “You gimps keep your mouths shut!” MJF tells Chris that as he sits there in more pain than he’s ever been in, listen to MJF. They both know Jericho can’t make it to wrestling MJF, Jericho’s a mess! Fans boo but MJF tells them to shut their mouths. Jericho won’t survive, especially not with what MJF has in store for Labour Number 3! MJF says the stipulation will be Jericho has to hit a move off the top rope to win. And as far as the opponent goes, unfortunately for Jericho, this guy’s known to hold a bit of a grudge. Roll tape.

Flashback to Dynamite, 11/13/19, Jericho said MJF looks like his parents “got horny while they were watching me beat up Juventud Guerrera 25 years ago on WCW Saturday Night, and nine months later, your little twerp ass popped out.” Who the hell is Juventud? Google it, kid. Back to the present, MJF says that was “one hell of a joke.” But unfortunately, MJF did google him! Labour Number 3 is against one of the greatest luchadors in pro-wrestling history, coming back to TNT after 15 years, all to face his oldest and most bitter rival! THE JUICE, JUVENTUD GUERRERA!! Fans go nuts at hearing that news, will Homecoming have the Juice to stop Jericho?


My Thoughts:

Wow, what a wild episode. First off, we didn’t get a lot of time on the No Rules Match but WOW everything that happened in it. It was like last week’s Texas Deathmatch, but condensed into the most brutal moments. It was natural for Jericho to make it through, but thinking about it, they should’ve tried to save this for a later labor. Unless they just couldn’t secure Juventud until now. I feel like they’re raising the bar so high, the fourth labor will be a letdown compared to these first three. Jericho will still find ways to win, so I can’t wait to see what top rope move Jericho dusts off to get the win.

Miro has a good promo going into the match he’ll definitely win against Lee Johnson, Britt had a good promo for herself, and Rosa of course beats Julia and I really hope they stay on track for an All Out match between Rosa and Britt. I am a little disappointed in how the story is going for The Elite and Hangman, though. I thought this was going to be the night where Hangman secures his shot for All Out, but that didn’t work out. We got great entrances from both teams, but I felt like that alone was why Dark Order should’ve won. Commentary made note that with Hangman out of the top five for now, Christian moving up, I almost dread that Christian gets his shot at All Out.

The Six Man of Christian & Jurassic Express VS HFO was very good, but I guess they’re trying to drag the feud out. Christian VS Blade is going to be good but I just feel like something is off in the pacing of this feud with Christian and Matt Hardy. FTR VS PNP was very good but it definitely seems Cash’s injury to his arm that was legit bleeding brought about a truncated version of the finish. Maybe these two teams go again and they’re all more careful with corner posts and bare skin. Cody getting jumped by Malakai was great stuff, as was Malakai striking down Fuego just because he could. Cody VS Malakai is going to be great, but again, I hope Malakai still stands tall.

Tanahashi having a message for the IWGP US Champion was a great surprise, but him throwing his hat in the ring definitely signaled to me that Archer was winning. Archer was still winning anyway, Hikuleo is promising but not at that level just yet. Getting to see Haku was great, though. But Moxley calling Tanahashi out was also pretty cool. It’d be a shame if Archer lost the title already but it just feels like Moxley VS Tanahashi is the big match for the title in the eyes of NJPW.

My Score: 9/10

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!

Winner: Daniel Garcia, by submission

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

 

Medical update on Darby Allin.

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

 

PAC VS Aaron Solo!

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

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

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

Winner: Pac, by submission

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

 

Bryan Danielson speaks.

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

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

 

Claudio Castagnoli VS Lance Archer!

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

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

The fans fire up as these two circle again, and Archer eggs Claudio on. Claudio fires a forearm, but Archer grins. Archer ROCKS Claudio, but Claudio powers up to ROCK Archer!

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

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

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

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

Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by disqualification

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

 

Backstage interview with Angelo Parker & Ruby Soho.

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

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

 

Kyle O’Reilly VS Bryan Keith!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kyle lets go quickly, and he waits on Keith to stand. Kyle KICKS the leg! Keith hobbles around, but he avoids the next kick to ROCK Kyle! Keith fireman’s carries, but Kyle fights around, KNEES the arm, and hammerlocks it, to then hop on for a GUILLOTINE! Keith fights, pushes Kyle down, but Kyle makes it a TRIANGLE HOLD!

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

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

Winner: Kyle O’Reilly, by submission

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

 

Backstage interview with Deonna Purrazzo & Thunder Rosa.

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

Buddy back drops Bravo but Bravo sunset flips! Buddy rolls through, Buddy ducks the Penalty Kick to roll Buddy up! TWO, hot tag to Dean!

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

Brody shouts at Bravo, Bravo runs away but into Buddy’s POP-UP KNEE! The House drags Dean up, and sends him into DANTE’S INFERNO!! Cover, BRAVO BREAKS IT!! Bravo saves Dean, but Brody just laughs.

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

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

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

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

 

Adam “Edge” Copeland is here!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


My Thoughts:

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

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

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

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

My Score: 8.8/10

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

Uno storms over to Cassidy, CHOKES him on ropes, and the ref counts while Rampage goes picture in picture.

Uno lets off as the ref counts, and Cassidy sputters. Silver CHOKES Cassidy now! Uno hurries to hide that by digging his knee into Cassidy, and then Uno puts his vest back on.

The Righteous speaks.

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

AEW hears from Queen Aminata.

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

Serena Deeb speaks.

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

Winners: The Undisputed Kingdom, by pinfall

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


My Thoughts:

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

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

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

My Score: 8.8/10
