Liv compliments the Smackdown superstars, and Nia grabs a mic to say let’s get some things straight. Nia doesn’t like Raquel, nor dislike her. Because she doesn’t think of her at all. And Liv, they’ve had their business, but Nia doesn’t dislike her. Nor does she like her. She just doesn’t think of her, either. Now, Jade, Bianca, and Naomi… She cannot STOP thinking about them! They’re all she- Wait! Here they come! The fans cheer as the Big 3 are here from SmackDown and Bianca says if Nia wants to do something, then just do it. But there is one thing Liv’s right about: They didn’t come alone! Here comes Iyo Sky!

He wants them to show him this every week! American Made is only more determined, will they soon take over Raw with this attitude?

Judgment Day regroups backstage.

Liv & Raquel are upset about what happened and Finn Balor has them calm down. He knows she has a lot on her plate, what with Rhea, and Bianca, and Jade, and Iyo, well… Iyo’s coming for the title on top of everything. But hey, if it helps, he can take the wheel. Really? She’d really appreciate that. Of course. They’re family, family steps up for each other. Speaking of, Dom…! A few weeks ago, Dom “singlehandedly” took down Damian Priest in the main event of Raw! Dom is the man! JD McDonagh agrees. Finn tells Dom & Carlito that they’ll show Erik & Ivar exactly what The Judgment Day is about!

But hey, some quick advice on The War Raiders. Finn’s known them a long time. He knows their strengths and their weaknesses. Go after the neck. Or… Just piss them off and get destroyed. But hey, this is the great Dominik Mysterio! He’ll figure it out. Dom smiles and says yeah, he’ll get it done. The boys fist bump and Dom leads the way. JD tells Finn that they need to talk. They go off somewhere while Raquel makes sure Liv’s face is okay. Will the Judgment Day (not) be fine after all this chaos?

The Miz speaks.

“It has been… an emotional couple of weeks. Now looking back… I can honestly say that… I truly hope… the Academy is shown that performance, because that was the performance of a lifetime! I deserve an Oscar! You think Chalamat ever bled for his art?! It was a master class of acting convincing those freaks that they could change me! Me?!” And Karrion Kross adds that he’s done what he’s always done: showing the world the truth. “And the truth is, The Wyatts are just a bunch of wounded people using others to make themselves feel better. The Wyatts are indeed not invincible.”

Miz adds that this is the jumpstart Marine 7 needed. Marine 7: Jake Carter lives. Who should direct? Scorsese? Fincher? Tarantino’s final note? Kross says an eye for an eye. They are not afraid of Uncle Howdy. Kross deals the cards, and they will continue to play the game that he controls. Tick-tock. Is The Final Testament going to lead Miz to true glory? Or only to his demise at the hands of the Wyatt Sick6?

Gunther finds Ludwig Kaiser.

Der Ring General pats his lieutenant on the shoulder, and Kaiser asks why Gunther did that last week. Why did- Gunther tells Kaiser that he does not speak for him. But Kaiser was- No, remember that when Gunther said they need to do better, he meant it. Kaiser needs to realize who he is, then go out there and make a name for himself. Kaiser should speak for himself, be his own man, and make his father proud. from now on, Kaiser must stand his own ground. Kaiser nods, and then Gunther says one more thing. Gunther needs to know. Look in his eyes, what does he see? The old Ring General?

Yes, of course! 100%! Gunther smiles and says Priest thinks he’s getting under Gunther’s skin. He’s just nuts. Now Kaiser, you go out there and consider Priest a non-factor. Imperium fist bumps and Kaiser heads out. Gunther then throws off his jacket and fires himself up as he spots Priest signing autographs. Gunther clamps onto Priest with a SLEEPER! Priest RAMS Gunther into a road case! Priest is free but Gunther grabs a pipe! Priest LOW BLOWS Gunther first! Priest scowls, but sits back in his chair. Priest tells Gunther that he gets in the ring, Gunther’s a general. But on the streets, Priest is king.

Adam Pearce hurries over and asks what this is about. Priest says take it easy, they were just having words. The champ might need some ice, though. Priest laughs and leaves, will he do just as much damage when these two battle for the World Heavyweight Championship?

Sami Zayn & The Usos find Seth Rollins backstage.

The Visionary is getting ready for his match with Bronson Reed, but they just want to talk. Jey knows Rollins knows, but they’ve all got their differences with The Tribal Chief. Hell, they’ve got differences right now. Jey and Sami, Jey and Jimmy, but just one time, they can put those differences aside to work together. Just this one time. Sami has been trying to say this to Rollins. Rollins did it last year when he sided with Sami and Jey for WarGames, and put his differences with Cody Rhodes aside! A man he had more bad blood with than anyone, and Rollins did that. So just do it again this year. Stand side by side with them at WarGames!

Rollins says he would stand with Sami. He would stand with Jey, and with Jimmy. But he will NEVER, under any circumstances, ever again stand with that tyrant, Roman Reigns! He will not do it! You have no idea how much it hurts him to say that, but there are a lot of reasons it hurts. He would love to get Bronson Reed in that cage, but no, it is not worth the consequences on the other side of this. Roman Reigns back in power? That is NOT worth it. Rollins understands their convictions, with this being blood and family, but he is telling them now, it is just not worth it. He will solve all our problems, though, when he goes out there and drops Bronson Reed.

And then whatever happens in the cage, after WarGames with The Bloodline, that’s on all of them. Rollins wishes them luck, but he’s out. Rollins heads for gorilla, and Jimmy says he told them so. Will the Bloodline Civil War still be 4v5?

Dakota Kai speaks.

“For the last four months, I’ve been on the sidelines. And when you’re away from the action, the self-doubt just gets stronger by the day. People see you smiling and they question your drive, even though you’re just trying to keep it together because you can feel your dream slipping through your fingers. You tell yourself, ‘When I’m healthy and come back, everything will be better.’ But then, on the other side of that, ‘Maybe there isn’t a place for me here anymore, or maybe the people just don’t care.'” Dakota says you have to get to a point where you ask yourself, “Am I good enough?”

And she’s telling us right now, with everything that she has, she has never wanted this more, and has never loved this more! She is ready to show everyone why Dakota Kai IS a champion. She’s ready, will the rest of Raw be ready?

The War Raiders VS Dominik Mysterio & Carlito!

Erik & Ivar are a formidable duo and are aimed right at the WWE World Tag Team Championships. Finn sure puffed up the egos of his guys tonight, but is he just setting them up to fail? Or can Dirty Dom & Caribbean Cool actually send the raid on a detour?

Raw returns and the War Raiders make their entrance. The teams sort out and Dom starts against Erik. The fans rally as the two circle, and then tie up.

The Raiders mug Carlito, but Carlito pulls Ivar’s beard! Carlito throat chops Ivar, bumps him off buckles, and he tags Dom in. The fans boo more as Dom fires off stomps and even smothers Ivar! The ref backs Dom off, but that lets Carlito CHOKE Ivar! Dom taunts Erik, then tags Carlito back in. The Judgment Day mugs Ivar, but Ivar fires elbows and forearms!

Only to step out as Erik glares at him. Erik then wrenches Carlito to clinch and EXPLODER!

The fans fire up and Erik paces. Carlito goes to ropes but Erik storms up to him. Erik whips, Carlito reverses, but Erik BOOTS back! Carlito distracts the ref and Dom gets a cheap shot in!

Erik is back, but JD CLOBBERS Erik again! Then he gives Erik a NECKBREAKER! Finn climbs while JD rains fists down on Ivar! COUP DE GRACE for Erik!! The fans boo but Judgment Day has turned the tables on the War Raiders. Will the gold be staying with Finn & JD with tactics like this?

The Wyatts speak.

We get old footage of Bray Wyatt abducting The Miz and literally labelling him, “LIAR.” Bo Dallas sits and says, “The trust of the innocent is a liar’s most useful tool. We offered you salvation. Freedom from the pit. I tried to warn you. But you’ve… damned yourself. I’m sorry for what happens next. You… You chose this. Your hands will forever be bloodstained, crimson scarlet red, because of your actions. And you will lose what matters most. I never wanted this.” Bo has given Miz his ultimatum, will Miz only have himself to blame?

Lyra Valkyria speaks.

“A phoenix has to burn first so it can rise from the ashes. When I was drafted to Raw, I was thrown straight in the fire. But I didn’t burn. I hit the ground running, earned my place, stood toe to toe with the best in the world, and I thrived. I used to think I was like a phoenix. But I am so much more. I am Lyra Valkyria. I don’t burn, I rise. And I’m coming for everyone.” The Morrigan is ready to return, will she reach new heights here on Monday nights?

The Alpha Academy is backstage.

Maxxine Dupri, Akira Tozawa & Otis are feeling good tonight, and they spot Kofi Kingston. They say hey to Kofi, and Maxxine says they’re so excited for The New Day’s 10 year anniversary night! But uh, how are things with Kofi and Woods? Kofi says to be honest, he isn’t sure. But speaking of, Woods steps in. Woods says he and Kofi need to talk. He is worried. About what? Well, the past couple of weeks, it has just been the two of them yelling at each other. And after 10 YEARS of teaming together, no serious arguments, and now they’re here? This is concerning.

Woods knows they’re the most decorated tag team in the history of WWE, but even with all that, Woods just keeps thinking about what Kross said. What? Kross is still in his head? Yeah, Kross said New Day is dead and yet they’re the only ones that don’t know it. Kofi says nothing is dead, Kross doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Woods just has to remember what The New Day is about. Oh, Woods has to? It’s on him now? No, but Woods is just so sensitive to everything Kofi says! Otis steps in and wants everyone to remember, they’re all friends here. Woods tells Otis to mind his own business!

What advice does Otis think he can give to them, the greatest tag team of all time? And a real tag team, mind you. Why do you think Gable dumped their asses? Oh, wanna get sad about it? Get sad about it next week, because it will be New Day VS Alpha Academy, and Woods is positive that a win over “you two clowns” will put New Day right back in the title hunt. Woods leaves, even Kofi is speechless, but will the New Day even make it to their tenth anniversary going like this?

Seth Rollins VS Bronson Reed!

We’ve seen these two brawl all over arenas, and we even saw The Visionary stomp his way to victory at Crown Jewel. But we also saw Bronson get up and shrug that all off. And now we’ve seen the Colossal Aussie has joined forces with Solo Sikoa’s brutal Bloodline. Will Bronson only build momentum towards WarGames by breaking Rollins? Or will Rollins once again #BurnItDown?

The bell rings and the fans sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” But wait! Speaking of Solo’s Bloodline, they’re here! Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa jump the railing, but wait! Jey, Jimmy & Sami all head out here! The fans fire up as the brawl is on at ringside! Bronson is furious but he can only watch as Jimmy TOSSES Tama, and Sami gives Loa a HELLUVA KICK!

Joining Solo’s Bloodline has already paid off, because now Bronson has evened the series at 1-1! Solo raises the hand of his Colossal Aussie in victory, will they do even worse to the OG Bloodline inside the double cage?

My Thoughts:

A great Raw here, even with it being prerecorded. Though, it was also a bit obvious, given they filled time with promos and recaps. The promos were still good, with Dakota putting her time away in perspective, and Lyra doing the same for her sort of trailing off from the top of the card. I kinda hope this all helps set up something for a Women’s Intercontinental Championship being established. At the very least, this builds up a good number of choices for next contender after we get Liv VS Rhea out of the way. Great opening promo segment to give us that Women’s WarGames match. And I totally didn’t think Rhea would make a return, but with the face brace, I guess she’s more than safe enough to do WarGames instead of them bringing Bayley into the match.

They also connected that opening segment to the Judgment Day story. Finn stepped up to lead tonight, and he most certainly puffed up Dom’s ego in his passive aggressive way of sticking it to Dom. Dom & Carlito of course lost to Erik & Ivar, but it was a really good match, and of course JD & Finn attacked after. Judgment Day stands tall here, so it makes me think they’re going to lose the tag titles. That will be the last straw for Finn, we’ll probably get Finn & JD VS Dom & Carlito as part of the faction falling apart. I’m not saying we go nWo VS nWo Wolfpac, but I wouldn’t mind Finn bringing in new members to join his side. Maybe some NXT call-ups?

Great promos from The Miz & Kross and then a great response from Bo Dallas. Can’t wait to see that 8 Man Tag happen, but at this point it is either on the Raw After Survivor Series or we wait for Saturday Night’s Main Event. Also a very good promo from New Day with Alpha Academy, and Woods just lashes out at everyone at this point. He really tore into the Alpha Academy, and I feel like he’s going to go overboard in the match. In which case, Kofi will then be compelled to stop Woods, they’ll argue, and Woods might even shove Kofi. Then that New Day tenth anniversary edition of Raw might end up having Woods VS Kofi rather than a celebration.

Very good Mixed Tag match, with a great win for Rey & Zelina. Hard to say if the feud continues but I did like that American Made is becoming the flipside of Alpha Academy. Gable’s behavior stays the same, but he’s actually found a group that uses it as fuel. I suspect that, should War Raiders really take those titles from Judgment Day, the Creed Brothers can move right up as challengers. They’ll bring that intensity so that the War Raiders can be just as intense, and we’ll get some physical, hard hitting matches to really pump up the Raw Tag Division so that it matches SmackDown’s.

Really good stuff in this build to Gunther VS Priest Round 2, though Gunther sure got punked out. He inspired Kaiser to go after what he wants, which is why Kaiser “ruined” that great match of Bron VS Sheamus, but then Gunther can’t even sneak attack Priest right. Priest bringing up “King of the Streets” and doing the low blow, I feel like he and Gunther should raise the ante to a Street Fight for the title. Oddly enough, that’s what I expect to see out of Cody Rhodes VS Kevin Owens Round 2, but why not raise the ante on all the matches for Survivor Series? Same for the Intercontinental Championship, that could be a Triple Threat of Bron VS Kaiser VS Sheamus.

And of course, with Bronson Reed joining Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline on SmackDown, Rollins was going to be dragged into WarGames, even though he was adamant about not joining in. We got a great match out of Rollins VS Bronson tonight, but of course Solo’s team made sure to screw Rollins over. Maybe Rollins shows up on SmackDown as retaliation, but I feel like they’re gonna wait until next week’s go-home to officially establish him as part of the OG Bloodline team.

My Score: 8.8/10

Speaking of the TNT Championship, it will be Red Death challenging Jack Perry for that gold. But before he becomes the Face of TNT, can he prove to Johnny and the world that he is #TVReady?

Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?

Lio Rush speaks.

“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”

Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!

Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Cover, Shelton wins!

Winner: Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall

Abrahantes gets in the ring to stop Shelton, but then he sees MVP there. MVP grabs Abrahantes by the neck! MVP LARIATS Abrahantes down! MVP may be a manager now, but he can still hit other managers hard. Will nothing stop The Hurt Syndicate from owning AEW?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.

In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?

Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.

Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!

And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!

The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up. Jameson gives all the introductions, and looking at “P-P-Powerhouse,” all you people are expecting a meat madness match! You want meat?! Then yeah, chant it up! But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bronson pumps up and puffs up, but he’s looking lean compared to Hobbs. Bronson runs, RAMS Hobbs, but Bronson bounces off! The fans fire up but the Savages coach Bronson up. Hobbs says stop playing and bring it! Hobbs SLAPS Bronson, so Bronson really fires up! Bronson kicks low, and says, “How ’bout that, Hobbs?!” Bronson runs, but Hobbs dodges and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Hobbs brings Bronson around. Scoop and SLAM, and the fans fire up with Hobbs! Hobbs then brings Bronson up to scoop and SLAM again! Bronson writhes, the fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!”

Hobbs drags Bronson up, scoops and SLAMS again! Bronson writhes while Hobbs looms over him. Hobbs brings Bronson up, but Bronson wrenches out to ROCK Hobbs! Bronson fires haymakers, then CLUBS away on Hobbs’ back! The fans rally, Bronson reels Hobbs in, but Hobbs suplexes Bronson first! Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!

Hobbs shakes the ropes, and the straps come down! The fans fire up but Jameson talks trash on the apron. Hobbs DECKS him! Boulder runs in?! Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! The ref can’t believe what’s going on as Hobbs torture racks Bronson! ARGENTINE RACK! Bronson TAPS, Hobbs wins! And drops Bronson on Boulder!

Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by submission

Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.

Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.

“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?

Private Party is here!

The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?

Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!

Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start. Mortos steps up and the fans sing while the bell rings. Bowens and Mortos circle, tie up, and Mortos powers Bowens to a corner.

Rush leaps over but Caster runs him over! Rush runs Caster over! The fans fire up, but Caster says hold on! Tranquilo! Caster raises the ingobernable fist, Rush is moderately amused, but then Caster sucker punches him! Rush scowls and DECKS Caster! Rush goes out to grab his favorite green cable! Mortos distracts the ref, but Caster fires hands on Rush first! And Caster uses the cable! The fans cheer as Rush tastes his own medicine!

But then Rush SLINGS Caster to the floor! Billy is upset but the ref wants him to stay back. Billy tries to point out the shenanigans, but Collision goes picture in picture.

The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg. Rush drags Caster up, CHOPS him then ROCKS him, then bumps him off buckles. Tag to Mortos and Mortos SMACKS Caster! Cover, TWO! Caster toughs it out but Mortos NECK GTWISTS! Cover, TWO! Mortos stalks Caster to a corner while Private Party watches closely. Mortos SMACKS Caster again! Mortos puts Caster in the corner, taunts Bowens, and while the ref is busy with Bowens, that lets The Snake get in cheap shots!

Billy and Bowens both protest, but Mortos wrenches Caster. Tag to Rush and LFI mugs Caster. Caster goes to a corner but Rush whips corner to corner.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!

With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!

Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.

Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?

Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.

Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”

Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!

Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?

Backstage interview with FTR.

Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.

While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!

The Outrunners speak.

Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?

AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!

The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?

Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!

Anna confiscates a monitor to SMACK Mariah on the back! Mariah falls into Schaivone’s arms, and Nigel is furiously jealous! Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up as Anna keeps going, and she sits the chair up nearby. Anna drags Mariah up, but Mariah fires body shots! DDT onto the chair! Anna falls back while Mariah snarls. Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.

Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!

The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!

Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.

Mariah drags Anna up, for a SAIDO! Mariah then positions chairs before she fireman’s carries Anna. MADAY on a chair! Cover, TWO!?! Anna survives and Mariah is furious! Mariah grits her teeth as she drags Anna up and reels her in. Anna fights free, kicks low, then has the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB onto the ladder!! The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.

Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first! Mariah bumps Anna off buckles, then SUPSER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS through the table!! Cover, TWO?!?! Anna survives and Mariah cannot believe it! But this is what winning the title with no safety net means for Anna! Mariah goes out, looks under the ring, and she brings out spare railing!?

Mariah pushes the railing into the ring, but she also brings some chairs over. Mariah sets the chairs up before she props the railing up like a ramp. Mariah adds more chairs, but Anna hits a BACKSTABBER first! Both women are down again, but Anna grabs herself some chairs. Anna finishes the project Mariah was working on, and the railing is now a platform! Anna drags Mariah over but Mariah HEADBUTTS first! Mariah then puts Anna on the railing, and looks to go through with her plan all along! The fans fire up as Mariah climbs, but Anna trips her up first! Anna climbs up, and she has Mariah on the very top! SUPERPLEX on the railing!!!

The fans lose their minds as both women are wrecked on the steel bars! Nigel can’t bear to watch the replay! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Mariah rises up, but Anna flops out of the ring. Anna finds some BARBED WIRE! Anna looks to relive one of her highlights as she wraps the wire around her arm! Anna stalks Mariah, and has the BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER on!!! Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZERO on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!

Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)

Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?

Jon Moxley speaks.

The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.

“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.

“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.

“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?

AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.

Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.

Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.

Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.

Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?

Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.

Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.

My Score: 8.8/10
