PLAY BY PLAY

NJPW and AXS TV set the scene!

Los Ingobernables de Japon continues to war with Suzuki-Gun! The leader of LIJ, Tetsuya Naito, has lost to the Submission Master, Zack Sabre Jr, twice this year in both the New Japan Cup and the G1 Climax! ZSJ angered Naito when he picked the bones of Evil after a vicious attack from Chris Jericho. Naito looks to get back at ZSJ for both Evil and those defeats, but ZSJ talks of retiring Naito himself. Who will win in this third time around in 2018?

Meanwhile, the Super Junior Tag League Tournament bring together familiar foes as the factions of LIJ, Suzuki-Gun and Chaos battle again! The IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions are still Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru, and they look to show true dominance over the division. However, Roppongi 3K’s Sho & Yoh look to repeat as tournament winners while Bushi has LIJ’s newest member, Shingo Takagi, by his side. Who comes out of this finals match primed to rule over the Junior Heavyweight Tag Division?

 

Super Junior Tag League Finals Triple Threat: El Desperado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru VS Roppongi 3K VS Bushi & Shingo Takagi!

The round robin format of this tournament makes it so that the teams with the best records qualify for this tournament climax, and this year it ended up being three! All three teams have a 10-0 record going in, impressive to say the least. And naturally, the winners of this tournament, if they’re not the champions, get a shot to face the champions for the belts in the future. Will Sho & Yoh become back-to-back tournament champs? Will the tag champs come out as supreme rulers of Junior Heavyweight Tag wrestling? Or will this new combination of ungovernable stars be the key to victory?

Suzuki-Gun’s duo bring their belts, and a bottle of whiskey for Kanemaru. Kanemaru tags a swig then spits it to the sky, before attacking Bushi! Desperado goes after Shingo, but Sho & Yoh go after them! The match starts with the bell and Suzuki-Gun throws Yoh out of the ring. Kanemaru keeps on Sho with an eye rake, and Desperado adds a kick. Suzuki-Gun mug Sho then double whip, but he hits back! Desperado kicks Sho and chops him. Desperado runs, Sho ducks and Yoh comes back! They drop toehold and dropkick Desperado, then double dropkick Kanemaru. LIJ returns but they get dropkick’d out. Yoh goes back to Desperado while fans rally up. Sho keeps on Desperado with a big scoop slam. Sho drags Desperado up but Desperado rakes eyes.

This kind of Triple Threat Tag, anyone can tag anyone so long as it doesn’t create a match-up of the same team. Therefore, Bushi is allowed to tag in from Desperado.

Then he suplexes Sho up and over, floats to cover, TWO! Tag to Bushi and LIJ double whip. They double hip toss and combine back senton and leg drop. Bushi covers, TWO!

Tetsuya Naito VS Zack Sabre Jr!

Los Ingobernables de Japon and Suzuki-Gun are not through with each other, and these two are far from through with each other on top of it. Will Naito make ZSJ Tranquilo? Or will ZJS make Naito #JustTapOut?

As always, Taka Michinoku takes up the mic before the match. He welcomes everyone to “Zack Sabre Time.” This is a special singles match between ZSJ and Naito. “Who is gonna win this one?!” ZSJ is the man who can finish you with any lock anytime, anywhere, who has the deadly Zack Driver, and when he locks on, you #JustTapOut! This wrestling master is Zack Sabreeeeee Junior~! So Naito, you will repeat the New Japan Cup and G1 Climax. You can’t beat Zack, so “come on over here!” Naito makes his entrance, and takes his time as always with undressing. ZSJ doesn’t let the mind games get to him, but we go to break.

They approach and tie up, and ZSJ brings Naito’s hands down to stand on one and wrench the other. ZSJ shifts to a headlock, then throws to the takeover. Naito endures and rolls ZSJ to a cover, ONE.

Naito poses but ZSJ runs in with a leaping triangle hold takedown! Naito gets a ropebreak but ZSJ lets go at 4. ZSJ takes a moment to catch his breath now while Naito bails out again.

ZSJ loops Naito’s arm through the ropes and then a leg and uses them to pull in a modified Bow ‘n’ Arrow. ZSJ backs off at 4, so he can mock the LIJ posing.

NJPW on AXS returns, and Naito gives ZSJ elbows in the corner. Naito drives elbows into ZSJ even as ZSJ sits down. Then Naito hoists ZSJ up top and climbs up to join him. Naito drives in more elbows and then stands up for a SUPER STEINER! But ZSJ makes it a cradle into a leg lock, into an STF!

Naito wrenches and tilt-o-whirls, but into ZSJ’s scoop! But Naito slips out to scoop ZSJ, brainbuster! Fans are thunderous as Naito wrenches and whirls, DESTINO! Cover, Naito wins!!

Winner: Tetsuya Naito, by pinfall

The Ungovernable finally wins against the Submission Master! Naito did not tap out and he didn’t fall to the Zack Driver, but can Naito use this to launch himself back towards a title?

 

Backstage interviews

Taka Michinoku explains that Zack only just arrived yesterday. This loss was because of jet lag! He was battling jet lag and an opponent at the same time. But ZSJ dares Naito to come to England and see if this still happens. ZSJ will even fight him in a pub if he wants.

As for Naito, he finally got his revenge. To be precise, Naito won in last year’s G1, but yes he did lose in the 2018 New Japan Cup and G1. Therefore, Naito is 2-2 against ZSJ all-time. Naito appreciates ZSj, because this match had no upside for him and yet he took it. He has Naito’s thanks, “Gracias, amigo.” When and where will there be a tiebreaker for their overall series?

 


 

My Thoughts:

Another great hour version of this event. While there wasn’t a lot of Super Junior Tag League coverage on AXS, this triple threat finals was great to see. It was all an impressive match and I was really impressed to see that RPG3K got to repeat. I really hope this means Sho & Yoh get those titles off of Desperado & Kanemaru, that would be great for them. The evolution of these two from being the Tempura Boyz to the gold ‘n’ silver duo has been great to see, and while they’ve already had the titles, getting the titles again would just add to their great growth. Naito VS ZSJ 4 was also great, just as good as their previous matches. I’m glad to see Naito won this time, it works for his story of coming back around strong towards the IWGP Intercontinental Championship.

My Score: 8.7/10

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone & Kamille.

Renee Paquette meets The CEO & Brickhouse just outside their locker room and wants to talk the TBS Championship defense against Kris Statlander. Mone rolls her eyes and says yes, she knows. But don’t even ask about a question before you know what’s up. “Bridgeport~! Say hello to your C E O.” Okay, well, to the point, Mone & Kamille tried to run Kris over with their car. What?! That was NOT Mone’s fault, Kamille cannot drive. Mone pushes her pink coat into Kamille, who drops it because of her bad arm. Mone gets mad at Kamille for dropping her 20 THOUSAND DOLLAR jacket and tells her to put it in the locker room.

Mone says Kamille’s incompetence is stressing her out. But so is Statlander. Mone is not afraid of her, did you not see Collision? Mone put Kris in the Statement Maker and made her beg for mercy! That is just a little preview of what’s to come. Now, Mone has to get ready for the show and- KRIS IS HERE! Mone freaks out, Kamille looks in the hall to see what’s going on, and Kris THROWS her into a wall! Kris stalks Mone, Mone hits back and they brawl in the hall! Kris picks Money up, Kamille grabs Mone, Mone CLAWS Kris’s eyes! Kris TACKLES them both through a wall!! Was THAT a preview of what’s gonna happen when the gold is on the line?

 

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

AEW returns as Schiavone welcomes in the Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay! The fans fire up as Ospreay makes his entrance, feeling much better after his big return last week. Schiavone says Ospreay is of course focused on getting the International Championship back, which is owned by Konosuke Takeshita and all but stolen from him. But surely, Ospreay’s mind is also on Don Callis and what’s going on with his old friend, Kyle Fletcher. Ospreay says he doesn’t really know. He has a lot of questions he needs answers for. Ospreay thanks the fans for the singing, but he says the title is second for right now.

So if Schiavone doesn’t mind, Ospreay’s gonna call out Fletcher and they’ll have a chat. Schiavone steps aside and here comes The Protostar already! Kyle stares Ospreay down as he stands on stage, and Kyle tells Ospreay that the Family begged Kyle not to do this on his own. But Kyle wants to prove he is not a coward, unlike Ospreay. Because weeks ago, Kyle called Ospreay out and yet Ospreay would rather sit at home and lick his wounds than show up for the people. So Kyle is here face to face, man to man, and wants Ospreay to know the Family is never far behind. So much as lay a finger on him, and Ospreay will be sent home for a lot longer than three weeks this time.

That said, what does Ospreay wanna talk about? Ospreay says hang on a minute. He’s been in the Don Callis Family meetings. Surely Kyle has something in his back pocket. Whatever it is, get it out of there. Ospreay promises he won’t touch Kyle, he just wants to talk. Kyle brings out the screwdriver! And he tosses it to the feet of Ospreay. Ospreay picks it up, and throws it down on the floor. It sticks right in the mat! Kyle asks if Ospreay is happy, and Ospreay says not really. He’s looking at someone he used to call a brother, and is starting to feel hatred and anger. Kyle lived in Ospreay’s house! And while in Australia during Pandemic, Kyle was working in a warehouse going stir crazy.

Ospreay let Kyle live with Ospreay, he joined The United Empire. Ospreay, Kyle and Mark Davis took over Japan, England, and obviously Ospreay opened the door to Kyle here in AEW. This is what annoys Ospreay: Kyle knows everything about Ospreay. From where he goes to the gym, to where he lives. Kyle’s been with Ospreay to go pick up his son from school. That frightens the Missus, it upsets Ospreay, so Ospreay wants answers. Ospreay wants them from Kyle’s mouth. Kyle says surprise surprise, Ospreay is taking credit for someone else’s success. Callis only opened Kyle’s eyes to the truth.

The fans boo but Kyle says while Ospreay did all that, from shelter to food, who was Ospreay really doing that for? For Kyle? No, Ospreay was doing it for Ospreay. Everything Ospreay does is about Ospreay! Ospreay wanted to mold Kyle into a Ospreay clone so he could succeed, but never as much as Ospreay. Ospreay is selfish and hypocritical! Fans call BS but Kyle says he did exactly what Ospreay would’ve done in his shoes! From Okada to Omega, Ospreay would’ve done the exact same thing! Oh get over yourself! The last time Ospreay saw Kyle, Ospreay was on the couch with his little boy, watching Kyle shaving his head, shouting on about how he’s nothing like Ospreay.

So now, Kyle is bringing up Ospreay’s past and saying Kyle is doing the same? Pick a lane, son! Are you nothing like Ospreay? Or are you a clone? But you wanna bring up the past? Fine! Ospreay will own it. He stabbed Okada in the back, stabbed Omega in the back, but before all that, he was a THREE-TIME IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion! A TWO-TIME Best of the Super Junior winner! Every continent he’s been on, Ospreay has held gold! So tell Ospreay, Kyle, what have you done!? And do NOT use Aussie Open. What has KYLE FLETCHER done?! SOD ALL, lad!

Ospreay wants to know what Kyle has done? How about what he’s going to do? Kyle will surpass Ospreay and every single accomplishment he’s ever had. And Kyle will prove it at Full Gear! November 23rd, live on PAY PER VIEW, Fletcher VS Ospreay! The fans do like the sound of that. Ospreay says there it is, that’s what this has been all about. Kyle wants his five minutes of fame! He wants his PPV match! Well look no further, lad! Because around these parts, Ospreay is Mr. PPV! Since Ospreay’s been here, there have been four different world champs, and none of them can match what Ospreay can do!

The fans fire up as Ospreay says if Kyle wants the match, then CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! And let Ospreay tell Kyle why this will be so sweet. When Kyle shaved his head, Ospreay sitting there with his six year old son, Kyle does not know the damage he did. This left hand could barely feel anything anymore. And after Kyle shaved his head, Ospreay’s son was holding his hand, and Ospreay didn’t even know it until he looked down! KYLE did that to Ospreay. Kyle took that from Ospreay and Ospreay’s son. So this is a nice little carrot: Full Gear, 11/23/24. And now Ospreay will be the one to take THAT from Kyle!

Kyle says if you think that Tiger Driver and the screwdriver stab were bad, Kyle isn’t coming for a piece, but he’s coming for it all! But let’s see what condition Ospreay shows up to Full Gear in. Oh, now Kyle’s got friends? Brian Cage & Lance Archer step up, but Ospreay says no worries. He’s got friends, too! Will Hobbs & Mark Davis step in! The fans fire up. Ospreay asks if we’re standing around like a-holes or are we gonna fight? And so they fight! The fans fire up as we get Ospreay and Kyle, Hobbs and Cage, then Mark and Archer! Mark puts Archer in a corner, Kyle does the same with Ospreay, and they turn around to see each other!

The fans fire up as Aussie Open jaws at each other. Ospreay BOOTS Kyle, Mark sighs, but then Ospreay PLANCHAS out onto Kyle! Archer DECKS Davis! Ospreay and Kyle brawl up the ramp, as do Cage and Hobbs! But wait! HERE COMES Roderick Strong! Archer goes up to the ramp, but Roddy comes in from around the way! KENDO STICK SMACK! Roddy’s ready for that Falls Count Anywhere! The bell rings now, this match is happening NOW!

Falls Count Anywhere: Roderick Strong VS Lance Archer!

The Savior of the Backbreaker brawls with the Murderhawk Monster into the backstage area, fighting even in the darkness just behind the paneling. Archer CHOKE SLAMS Roddy down through a table!

At Full Gear, this all ends, and I’m gonna finish your ass!” But wait! KONOSUKE TAKESHITA ATTACKS! The Alpha makes sure Roddy is in no good shape to face MJF! But wait! Here comes Adam Cole! The other part of this equation is now in play! Will the Panama City Playboy make things much worse for Max in Newark? Cole runs up, dodges Takeshita and then fires hands!

The Death Riders pull into the parking lot.

Marina Shafir has the briefcase and holds the door for Jon Moxley. They, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta head inside, ready to take over! But what will they have planned for Dynamite once they’re in control?

 

Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.

Renee welcomes in Shelton Benjamin, Montel Vontavious Porter & “The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley. Renee says in just over a week, Full Gear, Lashley has his first AEW match against Swerve Strickland. Swerve is perhaps the most dangerous man in all of pro-wrestling today, and one of the most decorated champions we’ve had in AEW. Does Lashley feel prepared for- MVP interrupts and asks where Renee got her journalism degree. No, don’t answer that. MVP will take this from here. Lashley, you are without question the most indominable force in pro-wrestling today, one of the most decorated champions in the history of this sport!

How does it feel to know that in less than two weeks, he may end young Swerve’s career? Lashley tells Renee that Swerve is dangerous to everyone else. But Lashley will make an example out of Swerve. Lashley will hurt Swerve. MVP says you heard it from Lashley himself. Swerve will be in action later on tonight, and The Hurt Syndicate will be watching. That’s how it’s done. Renee thanks MVP and the Hurt Syndicate for their time, but will Lio Rush prove to everyone that he is the Man of the Hour?

 

The Death Riders are attacking!

Claudio Castagnoli SMACKS JD Drake on the back with a chair! Then he hands said chair to Wheeler Yuta, and Yuta SAMCKS JD! And then SMACKS him again! And here comes Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir. Yuta & Claudio leave Scrap Metal behind to walk down the ramp while Moxley & Marina walk in from the crowd. They all meet at the ring, and Marina even intimidates a cameraman into the ring! The fans are torn but Moxley ahs a mic. “I’ve been thinking about Orange Cassidy a lot these last few days. He’s playing the game very well. Chuck Taylor is drinking his food through a straw because you couldn’t save him.

“Wheeler Yuta belongs in me, believes in me, because you couldn’t save him. And you’re undeterred. Hands in your pockets, eyes on the prize, Orange Cassidy, you have the chance of a lifetime on November 23rd. A shot at the AEW World Championship. All your friends, all your fans, all your peers, are depending on you. That pressure is building, and you’re cool as a cucumber. So I have to make an example out of Orange Cassidy at Full Gear on November 23rd, and I will make an example out of you at Full Gear, Orange Cassidy. I’m gonna brutalize Orange Cassidy! I’m gonna stomp his face into hamburger meat. I’ll mutilate him so bad, his own mother won’t recognize him.

“And everybody will see that. Everyone who wants to call themselves a contender, everybody who thinks they wanna be somebody in this business will see that, and they will run and hide! And we will continue to do whatever the hell we want in AEW, because I command the AEW Championship, and WE have the power!” The fans boo, but here comes Cassidy! The fans fire up as Freshly Squeezed steps out on stage, mic in hand. The fans cheer Cassidy on, but he’s not alone! Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero are here! Cassidy says, “Hello. See, I wanted to come out here and let you know, Jon, that I agree with you. I believe you.

“I believe you can do all the things you say you’re gonna do, and it’s because of what’s in that briefcase. See, you hold the symbol that represents AEW. That represents me, that represents us, represents all of these people. It represents everything professional wrestling can be. It’s the power. You hold the AEW World Championship. But see, we could fight all around this building, we could fight in the parking lot, we could fight in catering. It doesn’t matter, because the only way you become AEW World Champion is by wrestling. And for a guy who doesn’t like to wrestle, I wrestle more than anybody else here.

“And I’m pretty good at it, too, because, uh… I beat you, remember that?” The fans cheer and Cassidy says at Full Gear, he and Moxley will wrestle, and Cassidy will beat Moxley again. Then Cassidy takes the power back. Moxley said a couple years ago that while everyone else was playing checkers, Cassidy and Moxley were playing chess. There are still some pawns that Cassidy has to get rid of. One in particular is Wheeler Yuta. Next week, Cassidy and Yuta will wrestle, and Cassidy will remove the pawn that lets him take the king. Yuta says he is no one’s pawn, but Claudio tells him to stop talking.

Moxley says if Cassidy wants Yuta next week, we’ll see if Cassidy has the guts to pull the trigger on someone he thought was his friend. Either way, at Full Gear, Moxley only has one message for Cassidy, for his friends, and for anyone else who wants what he has. November 23rd, abandon all hope! The Maniac now leads his Death Riders away into the night. Will Moxley be on top of AEW then, now and forever? Or will- WAIT, someone in a Sting mask jumps from the vomitorium and CLOBBERS Moxley, Yuta & Claudio! It’s DARBY! Darby Allin fires hands on Claudio, Yuta goes after Darby, and now Conglomeration joins in!

The fans fire up as the brawl goes into the hallway! Yuta has Cassidy in a SLEEPER! Marina escorts Moxley away while Claudio drags Darby into the back! Conglomeration focuses on helping Cassidy and Darby, but our cameras follow Moxley. Moxley and Marina get in their truck, Claudio has caught up, but where’s Yuta? Too late, the truck takes off! Wait, Darby LEAPS into the truck bed! The truck stops, Claudio gets out to go after Darby and the brawl is on again! Claudio RAMS Darby into the side of the truck, then all the way into the garage door! Claudio SWINGS Darby around, and back into the garage door!

The Swiss Superman leaves Darby behind, but the Death Riders barely wait for Yuta to hop in the back before taking off again. Darby shouts, “Where’re you going, Claudio!? I’m still standing!” Darby leans against the garage door, Cassidy & Mark help him back up. The Death Riders have fled into the night, but will they make sure to stay away until Full Gear?

 

Backstage interview with The Learning Tree.

Renee is now with Chris Jericho, Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey as she brings up Tomohiro Ishii officially challenging Jericho for the ROH World Championship. It will be in two weeks, Dynamite in Chicago, will Jericho accept? Bill says, “Challenge? As the Learning Tree always says, a person’s true self is not seen in moments of glory, but in moments of hardship and challenge.” Jericho says, “Well said, Redwood. And thanks, Renee. Ishii, I’ve got a soft spot for you because we’ve known each other for almost 30 years, ever since we were both working for Genshiro Tenryu in WAR in Japan.

“Albeit, I was a huge main event star, and you were nothing more than a rookie, a Young Boy. You used to get me coffee, carry my bags, and even wash my back in the shower. Hahaha! But Ishii, you’ve gone on to become one of the toughest and best pro-wrestlers in the world. I should know, because it was only two years ago that we had a classic match, one of my favorite in AEW, and one of the toughest I’ve ever had, also in Chicago. So it’s only apropos that in two weeks on Dynamite, we’re gonna face each other. I do accept your challenge, Ishii, for the ROH World Championship, Jericho VS Ishii.

“But I’ve gone on to bigger and better things, as well. Because now, I’ve become the Nueve.” Jericho, Keith & Bill all hold up nine fingers. Jericho reminds us he is a NINE-TIME world champion, and a TWO-TIME ROH World Champion. So now, Jericho will invoke the glory and courage of great ROH champions of the past, like Jay Briscoe. And he’ll do that while teaching Ishii a lesson that he won’t forget, ever again. Keith says in the Windy City, Jericho blows Ishii’s dumb ass away! Jericho says truer words have never been spoken. Thanks, guys! But will Jericho have very little to be thankful after the Stone Pitbull takes a bite out of him?

 

Britt Baker VS Penelope Ford!

The Doctor is in, and she’s looking to get one more win to prove she’s back in top form. But will she be primed for a shot at the gold in time for Full Gear? Or will Mrs. Superbad take out her frustrations here tonight?

Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.

Renee is with the returning Fighting Gravure Idol and says it is so great to have her back. Is Mina here to see Mariah May? Mina says she is so excited to watch Mariah May VS Anna Jay Round 3 on Collision, so excited to see Mariah win again, and is now looking forward to their big champagne celebration~! But as Mina holds the glass out to Renee, Harley Cameron steps in, snatches the glass, and chugs it in one go! Harley tells Mina that some would say Mina is the Harley Cameron of Japan. Well then, welcome to the Harley Cameron of Harley Camerons. What…? Oh, never mind! But since Mina is back, she will feel the wrath of Harley Cameron!

Wait, seriously? Mina VS Harley? Yes! Face to face, tit for tat! Rack ’em up and may the breast- best woman win! Mina shimmies and says, “See you Saturday.” Harley shimmies back, and Renee says stop! Things are really shaping up for Collision, but who proves they can get crazier in the ring?

 

Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Lio Rush!

The Realest has certainly heard everything everyone else has had to say about him, from The Hurt Syndicate to even a former friend in The Bad Child. But will Swerve have to show Lio and Lashley whose house this is? Or will it just be Swerve’s Final Hour?

The bell rings, Nana leads the fans in a chant of “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” while Swerve and Lio talk some trash. Swerve says Lio should’ve just listened to him, but Lio shoves Swerve. Things speed up as Lio dodges, redirects, but then Swerve returns the favor! The fans cheer, but then Lio takes off again. Both men stop on a dime, but Lio slides out of the ring.

Not so final after all and Lio cannot believe it!

The fans rally up as hard as they can, and Lio storms around. Lio says it’s time! Rebound and RUSH- NO, Swerve stops the stunner with a half nelson! Lio pries that hold open but Swerve fires body shots. Swerve lifts, Lio victory rolls, hand on ropes! Nana points that out, the ref stops his count, and Swerve rolls Lio back. Half nelson, but Lio arm-drags free! BASEMENT ENZIGIRI! Lio hurries to a corner, goes up and up, but Swerve stops the rana this time! Wheelbarrow, into the half nelson! BIG PRESSURE!! Cover, Swerve wins!

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall

Whether or not this proves The Realest is the most dangerous, it shows he is resilient! Nana hands a mic to Swerve, and Swerve says everyone has the bright idea that now that Swerve is back, they should go after the baddest man, the former AEW World Champion. They wanna use Swerve’s name, equity and accolades to prove a point. Lio tried and failed. A couple weeks ago, Shelton Benjamin tried and failed! Seems like Swerve has to remind a lot of people whose house this is! That leads Swerve to Bobby Lashley. Like it says, Full Gear, but Swerve feels like he needs a fight with Lashley tonight! Lashley, take your ass out here right now! Swerve ain’t running, and there’s nowhere to hide!

Well here comes The Hurt Syndicate! MVP accompanies Lashley, mic in hand, but where is the Standard of Excellence? MVP tells Swerve, “If you want a fight with a member of The Syndicate, all you gotta do is ask me and I’ll set it up for ya.” Because see, The Syndicate likes Swerve a lot. And the reason they’re recruiting him is because he has so much unrealized potential. But one of the things they’ll teach Swerve… Well, maybe Lashley is ready to fight right now! The jacket is off and the sleeves are rolled up! Maybe we don’t have to wait two weeks. But there is still a lesson to learn: There is strength in numbers.

Swerve forgot that lesson, but he’ll remember. SHELTON ATTACKS FROM BEHIND! The fans boo but Shelton TOSSES Swerve out, for Lashley to CLOBBER! Lashley brings Swerve up, THRWOS him into railing, then hauls him up for knees! The fans boo as Lashley CLUBS Swerve, then THROWS him into more railing! Shelton stares Nana down while Lashley throws Swerve back into the ring. Shelton hits a DDT on Swerve! MVP CHOKES Nana with the walking stick! Nana sputters as Lashley hits a MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER on Swerve! Lashley makes Nana watch as the HURT LOCK is clamped on!

Swerve sputters, fades, and both Swerve and Nana are going out! Refs rush up but Shelton keeps them back. Lashley drops Swerve, and MVP lets Nana crawl to him. The Hurt Syndicate step out, security keeping a safe distance. But wait! Lashley grabs Nana now! Lashley POSTS Nana! Nana tumbles to steps then floor and the fans can’t believe it! Even Lio, watching from afar, is a bit stunned. But is this what it means to do business with the Hurt Syndicate?

 

Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.

Renee is with the former AEW Women’s World Champion, and Hayter says Renee looks “smashing.” Renee says right back at Hayter. But congrats on the win over Penelope Ford, so what is next? Hayter says that is a question on everyone’s lips. Because did we not think Hayter would win last week? Did Hayter not do what she said she would? And she’ll continue to do what she says she’ll do, because it is no secret that Hayter is back to right wrongs. She did some of the wrongs, but that’s for the future. For the right now, Hayter is thinking of coming after one thing. Wait, the lights go out? And a phone rings.

Julia Hart wakes up! She has a red spot on her shirt, over her heart. The phone is there, and rather old school. Julia picks up the phone, asks who it is, and it’s Brody King! He says it’s time to come home. What does he mean “come home?” She doesn’t even know where she is, there’s a blood stain on her shirt and… the phone isn’t even connected…! The lights flicker, Julia stands up but is very dizzy. She washes up, head pounding, and then the lights turn red. Julia looks down the hall and the light comes from behind a closet’s double doors. She opens the doors to see the source. The bow, the arrows, the hat…

The Princess of the Black Throne is coming home, and has she already made Hayter into the hunted?

Winners: The House of Black, by submission (advances to Full Gear)

A valiant effort from FTR, and Private Party pours one out for them. Brody & Malakai show respect by helping FTR to their feet, and they all shake hands. But now, that means only one spot remains. Will it be The Acclaimed or La Faccion Ingobernable that joins the Full Gear Fatal 4 Way?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here, and it really flew by in the middle with how they used all the story overlaps as very clear segues. Ospreay and Kyle had a great promo, and of course it turned into a brawl with the Don Callis Family and growing new United Empire or whatever it is. Kyle and Mark hesitating to fight was another good touch, and then Roddy going out there to start his match with Archer was good stuff. Falls Count Anywhere let them at least make good use of the main crowd side, and some good overbooking with The Kingdom having to counteract Cage. Great win for Roddy, and then great segue right into Cole VS Takeshita.

While I only stumbled upon the possibility last Saturday, only ONE person winning the MJF Challenge was a good choice. Cole loses out to Takeshita but it was protected because of the diamond ring helping Takeshita cheat. And we did get a good detail of Kyle coming out to make the save, and even Ricochet getting his shot in on Takeshita. Ricochet VS Takeshita is of course still the title plan there, but this was a good tease that maybe Kyle goes back to the Undisputed Kingdom. Or at the very least, Conglomeration and Kingdom work together against the Heel factions of Callis Family and Death Riders in a massive, Avengers: Endgame level match.

Speaking of, very good promos from Moxley and Orange Cassidy tonight, but when they said Moxley was taking over the TBS SuperStation, I thought they were going to film some “on location” thing and it’d be aired here on the tron. Guess they were trying to harken back to WCW and nWo with just a catchphrase or subtitle and then not do anything like that. But that aside, good brawl with Darby and the purple Sting mask jumping in. I like the details here where Yuta really is bottom of the food chain. Claudio told Yuta to shut up, the Death Rider truck almost took off without him, Yuta really needs to realize Moxley doesn’t care. But at this rate, it feels like Yuta will just double down his loyalty and that’s what costs Cassidy at Full Gear.

Great opening tag match from Bang Bang Gang VS Hangman & Christian, especially with Hook dragging Nick Wayne away and brawling with him. It still didn’t tip things in favor of Bang Bang Gang given Kip and Mother Wayne were still ringside. That puts the pressure on White going towards Full Gear, but the go-home segment will really tell us how White VS Hangman plays out. Great backstage segment with Mone, Kamille and Kris. Mone should be careful how she treats Kamille, because even one handed, Kamille is bigger and stronger. Though, Kris proved she’s as strong as them both breaking that wall. Sadly, this is all leaning towards Mone retaining at Full Gear.

Good match from Britt and Ford but of course Britt won. Deeb showing up was interesting, but a match or two from Deeb and Britt could do some good to get Britt headed for a title. Hayter was of course going to say she wants a title shot, but from Julia Hart interrupting with her own vignette, Hayter VS Hart seems like the feud that helps set one of them up for the title shot. And good promo from Mina (did she do something to her eyebrows?) and Harley. Harley is shaking off losing to Thunder Rosa to now lose to Mina. But Mina will be there on Collision as Mariah May defends her title one more time against Anna Jay, and maybe now we’ll get on the road to Mariah VS Mina.

Good promo from Jericho and his Learning Tree, and I guess it’s fine that Thanksgiving Eve Dynamite is the ROH World Championship match. ROH Final Battle won’t be until December so they can’t stretch things out that long, and it feels like the title is staying with Jericho anyway, so a cheated finish on a TV match is fine. Great stuff with the Hurt Syndicate, such as MVP’s promo with Lashley, and we got an awesome match out of Swerve VS Lio. Swerve gets a great win, but then the Syndicate of course get Swerve in a trap and beat him down. As it stand, Swerve probably turns things around next week, only to lose at Full Gear.

And awesome tag team main event from FTR VS House of Black. I’m a little surprised FTR lost, but I guess it keeps #FTRunners from having drama when they only just became friends. Plus, this is something The House of Black has needed. It’s been a bit of time since they had the trios titles, and while I don’t think Private Party loses the tag titles, just being in this Fatal 4 is a step in the right direction for Malakai & Brody. And with Julia on her way back, maybe the House of Black will rise up and get some new belts now.

My Score: 8.9/10
