PLAY BY PLAY

Toni Storm arrives backstage.

Luther accompanies the AEW Women’s World Champion, only for MERCEDES MONE to attack! The CEO wipes out the butler, SMACKS Toni off the road cases, and talks trash as she pulls Toni’s red jacket off her! Mone SMACKS Toni off more cases, laughs as she welcomes us all to Dynamite, and then drags Toni to the stage! Mone KICKS Toni, SMACKS her off the stage, then takes a mic from the ring staff before she SHOVES that guy down! Mone asks Toni, “You wanna play games, huh? Is this what you wanted? You wanted to embarrass me, you stupid little b*tch?! Well, let’s play!” Mone clamps on the STATEMENT MAKER!!

The fans boo as Mone makes Toni suffer! Toni kicks and flails but can’t get free! Mone tells Toni is just a stupid act, and she will never beat Mone! Refs rush out here, as does Christopher Daniels! Mone ignores them all, but then MINA SHIRAKAWA rushes out here! Mone runs from Mina and the fans cheer her on. Mina is pissed, but Mone tells them both, “Darling… Let the games begin!” The CEO leaves, the fans boo, but will Mone pay for escalating this feud?

The Young Bucks are on the tron.

Nicholas Jackson starts with, “Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. ‘Tis your Founding Fathers, Matthew & Nicholas, your Executive Vice Presidents of AEW. Hey, Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland, you guys are teaming up in a tag match tonight. It’s in the second hour and-” Matt stops Nick there. He lets Nick know that Matt used their “backstage influence” to move that match up on the card. Matt hopes Ospreay & Swerve are prepared, because that match isn’t later tonight. It’s right now! So go ahead, guys, cue up Ospreay’s music. The fans are excited, but this is clearly an abuse of power just to mess with their enemies.

Blake Christian & Lee Johnson wait in the ring, this match being moved up on them as much as on Ospreay & Swerve. And whoa, here comes Ospreay as fast as he can, wrapping his wrists with tape! Can the Aerial Assassin & The Realest prove they’re always ready? Or will the Bucks serve them up on a silver platter to the Vanilla Babyface & Big Shotty?

Will Ospreay & Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Blake Christian & Lee Johnson!

The teams sort out and Swerve starts against Lee. The fans rally as the two circle, and they tie up. Swerve wrenches and wrangles Lee with a wristlock, but Lee kips up and whips.

The fans boo as Blake builds speed to FOSBURY TOPE! The fans boo but the Bucks approve, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Blake throws hands on Ospreay, puts him back in the ring, then puts him in the corner. Blake RAMS into Ospreay, digs his shoulder in, but stops as the ref counts. Tag to Lee and Lee stomps a mudhole into Ospreay. The Bucks get big armchairs to watch this from the stage as Lee stops. Lee drags Ospreay up, RAMS into him again and again, then snapmares to roll and SLIDING FOREARM! Cover, TWO! Lee drags Ospreay over, tags Blake, and they mug Ospreay, focusing on his arm. Blake keeps Ospreay from Swerve and puts him in an open corner. Blake wraps Ospreay’s arm around the ropes and pulls!

Blake CLUBS Ospreay and puts him in the corner. Blake fires body shots, then he digs his boots in. The ref counts, Blake stops, but Lee CHOKES Ospreay behind the ref’s back!

Winners: Will Ospreay & Swerve Strickland, by pinfall

Ospreay & Swerve win the little game The Bucks tried to play, but now security rushes in to keep Swerve away from the EVPs. The fans boo while The Bucks taunt Swerve, but Ospreay tells Swerve they can do this another time. Swerve grabs a mic to say, “Year after year after year, not only me but the rest of us have to deal with this bull crap from these EVPs right here!” The fans boo but Nick says Swerve needs to shut up. Swerve says after the incredible year AEW has been having, this is the last time Swerve wants to deal with The Bucks. “So how about I… WE do something about it?” Ospreay says he’s in!

Swerve says he is The Franchise, Ospreay is The Feeling! The Most Dangerous Man & The Aerial Assassin challenge The Young Bucks to a match! And Swerve knows just the place to do it! Swerve looks up at the poster and says, “ALL IN!!” The fans fire up for that! Ospreay says, “YES, BRUV!” Ospreay isn’t sure about Swerve and Seattle, but Ospreay wants to up the stakes a bit! Ospreay says they do have to give it up to The Bucks, they are the Founding Fathers of AEW. But AEW exists because of the fans that supported them! And tell Ospreay if he’s wrong, but he’s pretty sure we’re all done with the power that the Bucks keep abusing!

The fans cheer but The Bucks are getting mad! Ospreay says The Bucks have done more harm than good, so they need to be stripped of that power! Ospreay says at All In, they need to put the titles of being EVP on the line! The fans love that idea but the Bucks are livid! They push their way forward through security and referees, only for Swerve to SUPER KILL STOMP!! Swerve wipes out the whole pile, but The Bucks narrowly avoided disaster! Swerve chucks one of the chairs at them as they go running! Swerve & Ospreay have Seattle feeling electric! Will Matt & Nick risk losing their authority? Or will The Bucks prove they’re really just weasels?

The Young Bucks regroup backstage.

Nick tells Swerve he is a dumbass! Does Swerve not realize what he’s just done? Matt says that trick he just played…! Yeah, Swerve really IS stupid. Per the AEW employee handbook, Swerve “put his hands” on an AEW official! The ref going down in that pile means Swerve is SUSPENDED WITHOUT PAY! Get Swerve’s ass outta the building! But in steps Kazuchika Okada. The Rainmaker calms The Bucks down and introduces his new friends. Or rather, his new family. The Don Callis Family’s Konosuke Takeshita, Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta step in.

Rocky says, “Who would’ve thought? From the days of Okada & Roppongi Vice in Chaos feuding with you guys in Bullet Club, to all of us on the same side.” Matt admits, that is a long and storied past, and the Bucks like all of them. But their boss? Kind of a prick. Be careful with him. But yes, one common goal. That common goal is to strap Okada up and make him the first-ever AEW UNIFIED Champion. And speaking of a common goal, the other goal is to hurt Kenny Omega. And what better way to do that than to hurt his Golden Lover? Trent says he wants us all to watch what he’s gonna do to Ibushi, because they’re gonna love it.

The Bucks fist-bump with RPG Vice and Nick says this might just work out after all. Okada also fist-bumps his friends, but then has a tense stare down with Konosuke. The Alpha reminds Okada that this is only temporary. Okada says okay, daijobu (it’s all good). The Rainmaker heads out, but will he have a family feud with Konosuke after All In?

Kota Ibushi VS Trent Beretta w/ Rocky Romero!

Just when The Jackal claimed Kenny Omega was all out of friends, the Golden Star returned to AEW! Callis claims Ibushi is a violent maniac that needs to be put down, but will #JustTrent be enough? Or will Ibushi cut through the family tree to avenge The Best Bout Machine?

The bell rings and the fans rally behind Ibushi. Ibushi and Trent slowly circle, tie up, and Ibushi powers Trent back. They end up on ropes but Trent turns things around. The ref counts, Trent lets off slowly, and the two reset. They circle again, tie up, and Ibushi waistlocks. Trent switches, Ibushi switches back then SLAMS Trent down! Ibushi facelocks, Trent slips free to facelock back, but Ibushi rolls through to wrench the arm. Ibushi then trips Trent, rolls him using a leg, and he snapmares to ghost pin! TWO, and Trent hurries to ropes. Trent runs back up, Ibushi dodges to DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Ibushi stands.

Trent goes to a corner, Ibushi rallies the fans, but Rocky distracts from the apron! This lets Trent CLOBBER Ibushi! The fans boo but Trent scowls as he stands Ibushi up. Trent fires forearms on Ibushi against the ropes, the ref counts, and Trent backs off. But then Trent runs and DROPKICKS Ibushi outta the ring! The fans boo while Ibushi flops to the floor. Trent stays back, but that lets Rocky KICK Ibushi! Rocky gets more cheap shots in, then hurries away before the ref sees him. Trent goes out to BOOT Ibushi into railing! The fans boo Trent and rally for Ibushi, but Trent puts Ibushi in the ring. “YOU LOVE IT! YOU LOVE IT!”

Trent storms in while Ibushi goes to a corner. The fans rally, Trent runs up, but Ibushi goes up and over! SNAP POWERSLAM! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Ibushi rises, the fans rally, and Ibushi KICKS Trent down! And KICKS him down again! Trent rises a third time, into Ibushi’s strike fest! And KICK! The fans fire up while Trent is down, and Ibushi STANDING MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up and Ibushi brings Trent around. Trent fights the half nelson, arm-drags Ibushi away, then SUPERKICKS! Both men are down and the fans boo! Trent rises, soaks up the heat, then aims from a corner.

Trent runs in, BUSAIKU KNEE! Trent reels Ibushi in, lifts, and GOTCH PILEDRIVER!! Cover, TWO?!?! Ibushi survives and Trent is fuming! Rocky coaches Trent while Ibushi sputters and snarls. Trent kicks Ibushi around, pie faces him, and the fans boo. Ibushi gets mad, but Trent SLAPS him! And kicks him! Ibushi CHOPS! Ibushi throws palm strikes but Trent ducks the kick! Trent half nelsons for the SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! But Ibushi’s right up!! And he catches Trent to a SNAP DRAGON! A shoutout to Kenny and the fans fire up! Both men are down but the fans rally. Ibushi rises, feeds off the energy, and he sits Trent up.

Ibushi runs but Trent ducks the kick! Ibushi turns victory roll into a sit-down cover, TWO! Trent has the victory roll, TWO! Trent ghost pins, TWO!! Ibushi barely gets free, but Trent grabs an arm! Trent wrenches and ROCKS Ibushi, then short arm LARIATS! Trent drags Ibushi up, fires another forearm, then winds up for another LARI- NO, Ibushi blocks, double cording holds, and he pushes Trent down! Ibushi DOUBLE STOMPS Trent! The fans fire up and Ibushi sits Trent back up! Trent flails, he knows what Ibushi wants! Trent arm-drags Ibushi into ropes! Ibushi staggers up, Trent runs, but into a V-TRIGGER from Ibushi!

Ibushi has Trent’s wrists, for KAMI-GOYE!! Cover, Ibushi wins!!

Winner: Kota Ibushi, by pinfall

The Golden Star has Trent seeing stars, but wait! The Rainmaker decides to make his way out here! Okada struts out on stage, belt on his shoulder, and he soaks up the heat from Seattle. Okada goes to the ring, and he stares down with Ibushi. Seattle is losing its mind just seeing this, and Ibushi dares Okada to bring the fight. Okada decides not to, and he leaves the ring. The fans boo, but Ibushi is patient. Because BREAKING NEWS courtesy of Tony Khan! For next Wednesday, Dynamite 300, we WILL see Okada VS Ibushi 1v1! Will Ibushi make sure Okada feels just a bit of what he did to Omega? Or will Okada be rolling towards All In: Texas?

Jon Moxley speaks.

“The only thing we ever actually have is the present moment. And it slips through our fingers like sand. Hangman Page has lost hold of what’s come before a thousand times over, and here it is in his hands again. Will he grab it and take hold of it? Will he show up for it like it’s shown up for him? I don’t think so. Why would I? The Cowboy is afraid. Not afraid of me, not a fear of failure. Hangman Page is afraid to become what the world needs him to be. He shies away, ‘Aw shucks. I’m not so special.’ For a guy like me, who’s walked the path that I’ve walked, to be standing here today the world champion, Hangman Page makes me absolutely sick.

“I have less than zero sympathy for your plight. For your crybaby emo crap. The world champion doesn’t shy away from responsibility. The world champion walks into the fire and does not take a single ounce of crap from anybody! You make me absolutely sick. Reach out and grab it, man! Shy away from your gifts, what you’ve been given… What happened, man? You ain’t what these people think you are. On July 12th, when you’re fiddling around with your emotional turmoil, worrying about who’s your friend and who’s not your friend, I don’t care who’s your friend, I don’t care who’s not your friend.

“Your enemies attack from the past, your enemies attack from in here (the mind). While you’re playing around with this, you’re gonna be getting elbowed in the face. On July 12th, you’re going to be choked into oblivion. On July 12th, you’re gonna be getting dumped on the top of your skull. On July 12th, I show the world what the world champion looks like! You? You oughta start looking for another job.” The Maniac has issued another warning, but will Hangman make it all talk when it’s time to go All In?

Backstage interview with AR Fox.

Renee Paquette is with the Whole Fox’n Show and says there has been a lot of momentum on his side lately. Just last Saturday, Fox went toe-to-toe with the AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley. It wasn’t a victory for Fox, but it still feels like things are moving in his direction. What’s next for him? Fox says he got all this momentum, but- Ricochet interrupts. Ricochet assures Fox, he is not here with any animosity or ill will. It’s the opposite. Ricochet isn’t sure if Fox is aware, but Ricochet has been searching for specific individuals with a unique set of skills to help his quest for gold become a reality.

And they’ve known each other for decades! Fox has everything it takes to help Ricochet. Ricochet wants Fox to join his crew. They can team up against those “two chumps,” Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight, aka JetSpeed. What’s Fox say? Fox considers the team-up, but then Ricochet takes his hand to shake it! Ricochet knew Fox would be up for it! A man never forgets his handshakes or goes back on his word! Ricochet heads out, and Fox just got dragged into something. But will things really go as smoothly as Ricochet hopes? Or will The Only & Only stay the One & Only?

Ricochet & AR Fox VS #JetSpeed!

The teams sort out and Kevin Knight starts against Ricochet. Ricochet tells Fox to listen to him and be smart. But then he turns around into haymakers! Fox runs in but Speedball is on him with hands! Bailey TOSSES Fox, Knight CHOPS Ricochet, then bumps Ricochet off buckles. Ricochet dodges a chop, but finds himself surrounded! Ricochet takes swings, misses them all, and then he gets pinballed by forearms and CHOPS! Ricochet tags Fox, Fox jumps in, but into a DOUBLE HIP TOSS! JetSpeed double whip, Fox grabs ropes, and Fox TOSSES Bailey! Fox DUMPS Knight out, sweeps the legs, then runs to BLACK HOLE STOMP!

The fans fire up, and then Fox CANNONBALLS onto Bailey! The fans fire up and Ricochet says he knows what he’s doing teaming with Fox. Fox runs back in, Knight stops the cutter, but Fox goes Matrix to dodge! PELE! Knight falls, the fans fire up, and Fox brings Knight up. Fox suplexes, ANARCHY! Cover, TWO! Knight is tougher than that, and Ricochet is annoyed already. Fox brings Knight up and around, fires forearms, then whips. Knight bounces off buckles, but into a LARIAT! Ricochet says Fox is doing great! Fox covers, TWO! Ricochet gets fans to rally, but they love chanting “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at him.

Fox brings Knight up, but Knight fires a forearm! Fox knees low, reels Knight into a fireman’s carry, but Knight slips free! Knight waistlocks, Fox switches, but Knight elbows free. Ricochet runs up, Knight dodges and LARIATS Ricochet up and out! The fans fire up, Bailey LARIATS Fox up and out! The fans fire up even more, and now JetSpeed DOUBLE PLANCHAS! Down go Fox & Ricochet and the fans fire up! Ricochet flounders away while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Bailey stands Ricochet up against railing, and KICKS him! Ricochet staggers away, Knight puts Fox in the ring, and then Knight takes aim. Fox KICKS Knight as he rams through the ropes! Fox then runs and DRAPING DDTS! Fox rolls through to cover, TWO!! Knight survives but Fox stays cool. Fox drags Knight up, Ricochet tags himself in, and he CLUBS Knight. Ricochet shoos Fox to the corner, then snapmares Knight. Ricochet rolls to KICK! Ricochet soaks up heat before he covers, TWO! Ricochet floats to rain down fists! The ref says those are closed fists but Ricochet claims he’s doing palm strikes.

Ricochet kicks Knight around, then puts him in a corner. Ricochet RAMS into Knight again and again, but stops as the ref counts. Ricochet snapmares Knight, runs and ELBOW DROPS! Ricochet taunts the fans, then pushes Knight to a cover, TWO! Knight is tougher than all that, but Ricochet mockingly claps at Bailey. Knight pushes Ricochet but Ricochet CLOBBERS Knight! Ricochet stomps Knight around, taunts Bailey, then storms up over to Knight. Knight CHOPS Ricochet! Ricochet CLAWS Knight’s face! Ricochet puts Knight in the corner, then he argues with the ref while not so subtly signaling to Fox to attack!

Fox doesn’t want to do that and Ricochet argues with Fox now. Ricochet CLUBS Knight, the ref counts, so Ricochet brings Knight out to CLUB him down again. Ricochet suplexes but Knight blocks! Dynamite returns to single picture as Ricochet CLUBS Knight again. Ricochet tags Fox in, they work together, but then there’s confusion. Are they going to double whip or double suplex? Fox thought it was the former but Ricochet wanted the latter. They talk it out, coordinate again, but then it’s flipped! Ricochet was going to whip and Fox was going to suplex! Fox shoves Ricochet, Ricochet has them both calm down, and Ricochet runs up on Knight.

Knight dodges Ricochet to BOOT Fox! Ricochet runs back in but Knight DUMPS Ricochet out! Knight hurries, hot tag to Bailey! The fans fire up as Speedball dodges Fox, then fires off the LIGHTNING KICKS! ENZIGIRI! SOBAT! And then AX KICK! And ROUND KICK! Fox is down, Bailey runs, STANDING SHOOTING STAR!

Fox puts Bailey back in, aims again, and he runs at the corner, into a THRUST KICK! Bailey goes up, Fox runs back in! LO MEIN PAIN!! The fans are thunderous while both men are down! Both men crawl, they both reach out, but Ricochet seethes. Hot tag to Knight, NO TAG to Ricochet! The One & Only blames Fox for that spill earlier! The fans boo but Fox dodges Knight, dodges again, but Knight’s DROPKICK finds him!

Knight pops Fox up for the SKY2HIGH! Knight calls his shot, he goes up top, and he aims for the MOTHERSHIP UFO SPLASH!! Cover, JetSpeed wins!

Winners: #JetSpeed, by pinfall

Ricochet wanted Fox on his side, but only as a follower. Will Ricochet only have himself to blame in the end? As for JetSpeed, Tony Schiavone greets them at the ramp, and says they are red hot in the tag team rankings. Bailey says that’s right! And with great power comes great responsibility! The AEW World Tag Team Championships have been held hostage for way too long! It is time for someone to come to their rescue! Knight says Bailey is 100% right. Those titles are being held hostage! Worse than OKC was holding the Supersonics’ legacy hostage for all this time! Seattle cheers that!

Knight says it is time for the tag titles to come home around the waists of #JetSpeed! Knight has a quick little song for everyone. How’s it go again? Oh, right. “One, two, you hear the clock tickin’.” Tick-tock! Hurt Syndicate, JetSpeed’s about to hurt your feelings! All In: Texas, JetSpeed is coming! But then the Hurt Syndicate attacks! Bobby Lashley beats down Bailey while Shelton Benjamin is all over Knight! The fans are torn but MVP & MJF walk out to watch this. Lashley LARIATS Bailey on the ramp! Shelton THROWS Knight into and over the steel steps! MJF applauds, and Lashley sends Bailey into the steps!

Shelton hauls Knight up for a BARRIER BACK SUPLEX! Lashley gives Bayley an APRON URENAGE! MVP has MJF follow him and they go off to the side. Shelton snap suplexes Knight on the ramp! Lashley feeds Bailey to Shelton for a snap suplex on the floor! And this is a hockey stadium, so all that’s under the pads is solid ice! MJF & MVP return, and they’ve brought a table! They set the table up on the stage, and MVP says this is what JetSpeed asked for! Shelton drags Knight over using a sleeper, MJF says, “We hurt people, baby! WOO~!” Lashley CLUBS Bailey down while Shelton places Knight on the table. Lashley then gives Bailey a MILE HIGH SLAM onto Knight and the table!

Seattle is torn as JetSpeed is down in the wreckage, but the Hurt Syndicate stands tall. MVP wants a mic, a mic is presented, and MVP says, “Now that we’ve taken care of that little bit of business… Can I please have the tag team champions’ titles brought out? Thank you very much.” A ring crew member brings the titles to Lashley & Shelton, and MVP says, “Gentlemen, shall we proceed to take care of business the right way? Production truck! Music, please.” The song plays and MVP nods. The four head to the ring and the introductions are given. MVP then says, “Attention AEW viewing audience: This is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate.

“The AEW Tag Team Champions, ‘The Standard of Excellence,’ Shelton Benjamin, ‘The All Mighty’ Bobby Lashley. I am absolutely begging you! Please, will SOMEONE stand up to the AEW Tag Team Champions? Please, somebody do it! Please, somebody! And speaking of stand-up, I’ll say this: IF JetSpeed can even stand up after that beating they received, I will be all too willing to give them an opportunity to face these behemoths at All In in Texas for the AEW Tag Team Championships. On the condition that they can walk.” MVP grins because he doubts that’s possible right now.

“Now, I would like for everyone to give me your undivided attention as I turn the microphone over to the young genius, Maxwell Jacob Friedman.” The fans boo but MJF says, “Thank you, Montel.” The fans boo MJF, but he says, “I’m talking, Washington, I’m talking. Thank you, though, I appreciate it. As you know, last week, I unmasked and I defeated ‘the lucha libre legend,’ Mistico.” MVP interrupts MJF so he can tell the fans to show respect to the most amazing athletic talent to ever step into Seattle! MJF says that is true. He shouldn’t have even come here, they don’t deserve him.

But MJF isn’t here to talk about his accolades or accomplishments. For crying out loud, we only have two hours. MVP says they says the fans are just upset that they haven’t seen an athlete as spectacular as MJF since the Sonics left! MJF & MVP laugh, and MJF says the reason he is even here tonight is to tell all of us that next week, MJF will be in a qualifying match for the Men’s Casino Gauntlet. And when MJF wins that, because he is going to win, he will be one step closer to what is rightfully his, not “Dictator Jon’s,” and it damn sure ain’t your crooked Cowboy’s! But MJF’S AEW World Championship!

The fans boo but MJF says, “Hit our music!” “Reach for the sky, boy!” That’s not it! But here comes Mark Briscoe all the same! And he has a mic to tell Max, “We all know that you could listen to yourself talk all night long. However, my main, Mikey behind this curtain with the headset on, y’know, the producer? He said, ‘Max is taking too long once again. Chicken, we gonna hit your music cuz you got a match. Get them boys out the ring!'” Mark asks Hurt Syndicate to kindly exit the ring so that he can handle his business. The fans cheer that! MJF says no one asked the fans, shut up! The fans boo that.

MJF wants to explain something to Briscoe. MJF doesn’t give a damn about what time it is! They can take up as much as they want! Because unlike Briscoe, the Hurt Syndicate are actual stars. Now, the fans like Briscoe, right? The fans cheer that, and MJF says this is why: They like Briscoe cuz they can relate. They’re just as dirt ugly and dirt poor! MJF is willing to bet all these shmucks in the arena and at home have as many bills in their pockets as Briscoe does teeth in his mouth! So here’s some advice for Briscoe: Leave now, because if you get in this ring right now, Lord knows Briscoe will do what he always does, and that’s lose!

MJF tells Briscoe to go back to his ranch in Delaware and pick up chicken s*it, “You blue collar b*tch!” MVP has MJF calm down but Briscoe says that’s hilarious. But he also sees right through MJF. He sees MJF’s inner turmoil, the pain where all these mean comments come from. Briscoe knows! MJF said it once himself that he was bullied as a child, so all these insults come from a place of hurt. So the word of the day is empathy! The fans cheer that! Briscoe then says if Seattle will let Briscoe empathize with MJF and put himself in MJF’s shoes, MJF is just trying to compensate for something.

All these hurtful comments that come from MJF come from a place of insufficiency in certain areas. Let’s put it this way: If Briscoe is MJF and going damn near 30 years with an itty bitty kosher pickle in his pants, then he’d probably wanna hang out with the Hurt Syndicate, too. MVP stops MJF from exploding, but the fans chant, “Kosher Pickle!” MVP says this is about business. This ain’t business. How about they all just exit the ring, and they leave Briscoe to do what he does better than anybody else. They will just watch Mark Briscoe lose. The Hurt Syndicate steps out of the ring and the fans chant for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!”

MVP has Shelton & Lashley stand down so Briscoe can go to the ring. Seattle cheers Briscoe on, but will he be the number one man for All In? Or will someone else defy the odds tonight to improve their odds in Texas?

The Sussex County Chicken just proved the Hurt Syndicate wrong! Briscoe won and now he is #1 with a bullet! But MVP tells the Hurt Syndicate to relax, the gauntlet is what matters. Will Maxwell Jacob Friedman personally ensure Briscoe loses big in Texas?

Adam Cole speaks.

The AEW TNT Champion says, “The Don Callis Family has been a thorn in my side for far too long. I think it’s about time you put your money where your mouth is, so I got an idea. Tomorrow night on Collision: Open Challenge for my TNT Championship against ANY member of the Don Callis Family. Not only will I successfully defend this TNT Championship, but I am gonna whoop your ass in the process. And that is undisputed.” The Panama City Playboy is confident that no matter who The Jackal throws at him, he’ll be ready. Will that be true? Or will Cole lose the gold in that Collision?

Backstage interview with FTR & Stokely Hathaway.

Renee Paquette is with Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood & #BigStoke. She brings up that their tight circle of friends continues to shrink. The Outrunners came out last week and made the save for Bandido after that Collision 8 Man Tag. What is going on with FTR and the Outrunners? Stokely says first of all, these two here are too heartbroken and disappointed to speak. Last week’s Collision, they had an excellent victory! And then Stokely cannot believe he is saying this, but Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum chose to interrupt! How egregious! All weekend, FTR deliberated on what is the best way to solve this problem.

Stokely said they could do some good ol’ fashioned vandalism, but cooler heads prevailed. The wise men of FTR prevailed. But look at these two. These are great, God-fearing, family men! Upstanding citizens! And that is why they decided that tomorrow night on Collision, they can all just meet in the ring to clear the air. FTR wants to see where things are with The Outrunners, and then they can all just get on the same page. What about that? #TopGuysOut. Will Cash & Dax only want to talk with Truth & Turbo? Or will the Youngest Men Alive just be the newest victims of the hypocrisy?

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Adam Cole put out the challenge and that challenge has been answered! Josh Alexander steps up, but will the Walking Weapon bring that TNT Championship home to the Don Callis Family? Meanwhile, we get more Paragon VS Don Callis Family as it is a battle of Kyles! Kyle O’Reilly and Kyle Fletcher go 1v1, will the Violent Artist turn The Protostar into a masterpiece? Or will the Aussie Arrow hit the bull’s eye on his way to the top? And the Don Callis Family just stays busy as Rocky Romero teams with Hechicero against Brody King & Templario! Will Azucar & The Alchemist make Collision bittersweet? Or will the King of Death & Lion Warrior tear down the house?

Plus, with the Women’s Casino Gauntlet coming up, everyone wants to improve their chances! Queen Aminata and Skye Blue go 1v1, will the winner impress Tony Khan and be part of the mix? Last but not least, with MVP daring the AEW World Tag Team Division to step up, Big Bill & Bryan Keith battle Christian Cage & Nick Wayne, both teams hoping to earn their shot. Will the Redwood & Bad Apple sour things for the “father and son?” Or will Captain Charisma & his Prodigy be one step closer to making history?

Hangman Page VS The Beast Mortos!

Jon Moxley had a lot to say about The Cowboy, but The Cowboy prefers to let his actions speak for him. Will Hangman be able to hogtie this menacing minotaur? Or will Mortos continue to be a merciless mercenary for The Elite & Death Riders?

The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up as the fans duel, and Hangman wrenches to a wristlock. Mortos uses the ropes to flip through and wrench back.

Hangman looms over Mortos, brings him up, and scoops him for a FALL AWAY SLAM into the corner! Mortos is down, Hangman covers, TWO! Mortos stays in this but Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Hangman stays cool as he stands back up. Mortos huffs ‘n’ puffs as he sits back up. Mortos leans against the ropes but Hangman stands him up. Mortos SOBATS, KNEES, and ELBOWS Hangman! Mortos snapmares to then NECK TWIST! Hangman flounders to a corner and Mortos fires up. Mortos storms over and stomps Hangman! Mortos digs his boot in, stops as the ref counts, and drags Hangman up.

Dynamite returns to single picture while Mortos THROWS Hangman down by his hair again! The ref reprimands but the fans rally up. Mortos pumps up and vows to end this. Mortos lifts Hangman, back suplexes, but Hangman lands out! Hangman literally has the bull by the horns now as he holds Mortos back! Mortos takes a swing, Hangman ducks the haymaker to ROCK Mortos! Mortos fires as forearm, Hangman fires back, and Mortos HEADBUTTS again! Mortos runs, but into a BOOT!

Hangman runs, but Mortos follows! DISCUS- NO, Hangman ducks the shot and comes back. Hangman blocks a kick, spins Mortos, but now Mortos ducks the discus! But the LARIAT finds Mortos on the return!

Mortos gave the Cowboy one hell of a fight, but it wasn’t enough to put Hangman down! Wait, the lights go out! This can only mean one thing! The lights come back up, and THE BUCKS have Hangman down?!? Not quite what anyone expected, but then they give Hangman an E V P TRIGGER!!! Matt & Nick tell Hangman that HE made them do this! They wanted to help him but he didn’t get that! And now The Death Riders make their way out here. Jon Moxley leads the way for Yuta & Marina as they go through the crowd and to the ring. Yuta has a chair already, but Marina even has a steel chain!

The Death Riders storm into the ring, they surround Hangman, and the fans boo. Marina hands Moxley that chain, and Moxley uses it to CHOKE Hangman like a garotte! The fans boo more as The Bucks mock Hangman! Hangman turns red, then starts to fade out! But here comes The Opps! The Bucks kick at them, then Yuta uses his chair! The Opps have to drop back, but they get chairs of their own! Hangman is still fading out as Yuta & The Bucks keep anyone else from getting in! But here comes Ospreay! Ospreay turns the tides and now the Death Riders are in retreat! Ospreay makes sure Hangman can breathe again, but the Death Riders leave it at this.

Refs also rush in and check on Hangman. Hangman sputters and coughs, but will he be alright come All In? Or will Moxley back up all his talk by running The Cowboy out of AEW?

My Thoughts:

Will Swerve’s House rumble, bad man, rumble?

While Swerve Strickland has Death Riders and Hangman Page on the brain, he has Shane Taylor in the ring! Will Swerve still be AEW’s Most Dangerous?

PROGRAMMING NOTE!

Collision may have returned to Saturday tonight, but next week will be a special Thursday Night Collision! Make sure your DVRs are set properly so you don’t miss the action!

Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata & TayJay speak.

Tay Melo tells Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford that they know what happened last time. Tonight is round two! And Anna adds that there are so many more ways they wanna hurt them. The One True African Queen says Thekla may have won, but she knows she got hit hard, huh? She ain’t seen nothing yet! And La Mera Mera reminds Athena that she’s coming for that ROH Women’s World Championship. Tonight, she takes Athena’s head!

Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.

The Fallen Goddess thanks the Toxic Spider, Megasus & Superbad Girl for accepting the invitation. But even then, Athena still doesn’t like crazy spider lady, still doesn’t like Ford, and is still bigger and badder than Megan. But tonight, it’s ATHENA Elite Wrestling! So let’s get it together, girls, so Athena can have her moment. And if they do, they can be her Minions. Ford keeps Megan from storming up on Athena, but can these war goddesses hold it together to be victorious?

AEW shares footage from after Grand Slam: Mexico.

Renee Paquette was with the NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion, Mercedes Mone, and says what a huge night. Another history making moment as she is now #SixBeltsMone! Mone says damn straight! Unfortunately, not everyone was in the mood for celebrating… Toni Storm rained on her parade a bit. Mone tells Toni, “You think you’re gonna play mind games with me? Well, I am the master of any game! So bring it! Tonight’s win was just a preview for what’s to come at All In: Texas. Toni, you call yourself ‘Timeless?’ Well, I’m iconic! I’m Six Belts Mone! The Conversation, the Blueprint, The C E O!”

And the Money Train is on a roll! Toni’s time is ticking, and it is almost up. See you in Texas, b*tch! Mone rolls on, but will she have lucky number seven? Or will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one prize she doesn’t get to have?

Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Shane Taylor w/ Shane Taylor Promotions!

The Realest may have a house, but Big Bad Shaney T. Boy has an entire promotion! And while this is Swerve’s homecoming to Washington, will he have homefield advantage? Or will Shane show him how to rumble, bad man, rumble?

The bell rings and the two circle. Shane swings, Swerve dodges to waistlock, but then Swerve avoids the elbow. Shane stops the Eddy Gordo Rana, brings Swerve up to back suplex, but Swerve lands out. Shane blocks a boot, Swerve reels him in and sunset flips, but Shane stays up! Swerve avoids the fist drop to SHOVE Shane out of the ring! Swerve builds speed, but then just hits the Griddy! The fans cheer, STP is upset, and Bravo says he’s got money riding on this. Shane storms into the ring to circle with Swerve. Swerve bobs ‘n’ weaves to avoid the shots, but Shane stops the wrench. Shane blocks the whip, too, but then Swerve BOOTS him!

The fans cheer, Swerve eggs Shane on, and the two reset. They feel things out, Shane fires hands, and wait, Nana is gambling with the Infantry? Shane DECKS Swerve, his odds might’ve just gone up! Shane drags Swerve up on the apron and Bravo wants Tony Schiavone to get in on this? Shane lifts Swerve, Swerve fights free, and he slips under! The Infantry freaks out as Swerve pulls on Shane, but Shane grabs Swerve to SLAM him off the apron! Then he APRON SPLASHES! The fans boo while Swerve falls, and Shane claims it’s HIS house now! The fans boo more while Collision goes picture in picture.

The Infantry mockingly offer Swerve some money, but Shane drags Swerve up to HEADBUTT him! Shane puts Swerve in the ring, tells Nana he’s about to lose more money on this, and then goes into the ring. Shane clamps onto Swerve with a chinlock and he grinds Swerve down. Swerve endures and Nana rallies the fans. Swerve fights up, fires body shots, then he KNEES Shane low! Shane ROCKS Swerve with a left! Then SAIDOS! Swerve staggers over to ropes, Shane storms up on him, and Shane CHOKES Swerve by standing on him! The ref counts, Shane backs off, and Swerve goes to the corner. Shane storms up to Swerve again while Collision goes to break.

Collision returns, Shane has Swerve in a corner to talk trash, then he runs up, only for Swerve to dodge! Swerve then wraps Shane’s arm around ropes, CLUBS away on the shoulder, and runs side to side for a DROPKICK to the arm! The fans fire up and Swerve dropkicks the legs out! Swerve drops a KNEE on the arm, then runs to KNEE Shane down! Cover, TWO! Shane is tougher than that but Swerve stays focused. Nana says it’s over for STP now! Swerve KICKS the bad arm, and the fans cheer for “DEFY! DEFY!” Swerve runs up, Shane shoves him to the corner but Swerve comes back, only for Shane to HEADBUTT!

Shane URENAGES Swerve down, but that was the bad arm! Shane runs, SPLASHES DOWN into an armbar! Swerve has Shane caught and he even HAMMERS Shane’s head! Shane endures, fights back up, and he powers out! Shane KNEES Swerve down! Cover, TWO! Swerve survives and Shane grows frustrated. Swerve goes to a corner, Shane says time to bet it all! Shane goes up the corner, the fans fire up, and Swerve ROCKS Shane first! Swerve throws more hands, then he goes up to get Shane for a SUPER DUPER BACK SUPLEX! The fans are thunderous and Swerve is feeling it! Shane flounders to the apron, but Swerve fires hands!

The fans rally, Swerve runs and returns, but into Shane’s grip! Swerve KICKS and KICKS and KICKS! Shane drapes over the ropes and Swerve BOOTS him! Swerve goes up, takes aim, APRON KILL STOMPS!! The fans are thunderous again and Swerve steps inside. But the Infantry gets all up in Nana’s face! Swerve FLIES out onto the Infantry! And then a HOUSE CALL for Shane!! Cover, Swerve wins!

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall

Swerve finally has his 50th singles win here in AEW, and Nana rakes in the dough! Having green is nice, but will Swerve find himself aimed at gold again?

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing… Timeless Toni Storm.

Seattle cheers as Toni Noir stands on stage. “Mercedes Mone…” The fans boo that name. “I am disappointed in you. Three weeks ago, you shook my hand and said we would have the biggest women’s match of all time. And since then, you have been eating steak, playing on your telephone, and trying to kiss me. And now, you are still in Mexico because you have won yet another title.” The fans boo that, too. “Is that all I am to you? Is that all this is to you? Another trophy for your shelf? Another toy for your collection? Now, I want to say this as nicely as possible. Mercedes, I am not some other mother-effer.

“I am TIMELESS Toni Storm! I am the AEW Women’s World Champion! And if you make one false move, I am going to eat you alive!” The fans cheer that! “I demand your best, Mercedes, because that is what you are. One day, my reign will be over.” The fans don’t like the sound of that, but Toni says there is no one more deserving than Mone. “The day I met you, I knew what you were destined to be. You were the first woman to wrestle at Madison Square Garden, the Tokyo Dome, Wembley Stadium AND Arena Mexico… But I was the last woman to wrestle at the Wodonga Sports & Leisure Center before it got closed down for a cockroach infestation.”

The fans cheer that last part, and Toni says she sincerely believes that Mone is the greatest of all time. Toni is not, nor was she ever meant to be. For she is a “manic, neurotic, erotic, sexually questionable, consistently sweating, bottom heavy, transatlantic whore!” The fans still cheer for her, and Toni says when this belt is upon her bosom, she makes magic happen! So unless Mone plans on pulling a rabbit out of her ass, Toni highly doubts Mone can say the same! At All In, in front of the entire world, and all those little girls watching at home, Mone will look Toni in the eye, and she will realize that Toni only has to beat Mone while Mone will have to KILL Toni!

The fans cheer Toni as the spotlight fades out to black. Will All In: Texas be yet another instant classic in Toni’s already timeless career?

Mixed Six Tag: Holo.grm, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale VS #MXMTV!

Undefeated at 25-0 and now 4 million Pesos richer, the futuristic luchador now conglomerates with the Sussex County Chicken and the Babe with the Power! But will this change in the line up keep things fresh against Mansoor, Mason Madden y Taya Valkyrie? Or will MXM TV serve Hologram his first taste of bitter defeat?

The trios sort out and it is ladies first as Willow circles with Taya. They tie up, Taya waistlocks and shoves, then she soaks up the heat while she struts. Willow kicks Taya in the butt! Taya gets mad, runs up on Willow, but Willow LARIATS her down! Then Willow struts, and shakes them hips! Taya gets up, Willow waistlocks and shoves her to the corner. Taya dodges, stomps away, but the ref counts. Taya stops at 4, whips corner to corner, but Willow cartwheels! Willow comes back to CLOBBER Taya, then she runs to SPLASH! Cover, ONE! Willow tags Hologram and Taya tags Mason! Hologram and Mason tie up, and Mason THROWS Hologram!

The fans boo but MXM celebrates like they did something. Mason swings on Briscoe & Willow but they both get clear. The fans boo Mason but Hologram DROPKICKS Mason! The fans fire up and Hologram runs in again. Mason puts Hologram on the apron, but Hologram RAMS low and GAMANGIRIS high! Hologram goes up, up, and springboards to MISSILE DROPKICK!

The fans fire up and Mansoor bails out!

Hologram builds speed and DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up! Wait, Mason gets Hologram for a BLACK HOLE SLAM on the floor! The fans boo but MXM TV cheers while Collision goes picture in picture.

Mason drags Hologram up, puts him back in the ring, and Johnny TV taunts Briscoe & Willow. Mason drags Hologram back out so he can CLUB him down. The ref reprimands, Mason drags Hologram back up and SMACKS him off the apron. And then throws him into railing! Taya soaks up the heat while she vogues, and Mason refreshes the ring count. That just lets Mr. & Mrs. TV stomp away on Hologram! They stop as Mason goes back out to fetch Hologram. Willow & Briscoe back the rest of them off while Hologram is in the ring. Mansoor tags in, he whips for Mason to scoop, and they CAT WALK LEG DROP! Cover, TWO!

Mansoor keeps Hologram down with a Camel Clutch, but Hologram endures. Mansoor stomps away on Hologram into the corner, but stops as the ref counts. Mason gets a cheap shot in while Mansoor argues with the ref! Johnny does, too! Mansoor drags Hologram to an ELBOW DROP, then covers, TWO! Mansoor drags Hologram over, tags Mason, and Mansoor holds Hologram down for Mason to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Mason drags Hologram back up, throat chops him, then tags Taya. Taya mugs Hologram with Mansoor’s help, then tags Mansoor. The ref reprimand but Mansoor stomps Hologram around.

Collision returns to single picture and Mason tags in. Mason sets up at the ropes, and Mansoor CATAPULTS Hologram into the hips! The Mahogany Hunk poses, Johnny joins in, but the fans boo. The ref reprimands and Hologram hops off the apron. Mansoor & Mason mug Hologram again, then they whip, but Hologram tilt-o-whirl DDTS!

Winners: Hologram, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale, by pinfall

New amigos but still undefeated, Hologram is feeling what it’s like to conglomerate! Will nothing stop them from building momentum towards title opportunities?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Lexy Nair is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and brings up the big win for Willow’s team. Kris asks if they’re really doing this. Every single week! Yes, everyone loves Willow. But when is Kris going to get a chance? In the All-Star 8 Woman Tag? Uh, uh, didn’t think so. So if you think she’s going to stand here and talk about how important everyone else is, you’re dead wrong! But then Yuta walks over and says he hates to say he told her so… Kris tells Yuta to shut his grimy little mouth! She knows who he is and what this is! If he thinks she wants any part of this, get out of her face! Yuta tries to talk her down but Kris SHOVES him down! And then Moxley steps in.

Moxley picks up Kris’ phone for her, but tells her to never, ever, let anyone else tell you who you are or what you’re worth. Moxley hands Kris her phone, and Kris is rather shaken. But did Moxley just encourage someone? And will Kris Statlander follow his advice to go out and take what she deserves?

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

Schiavone asks Seattle to please welcome… Don Callis. The fans boo as The Jackal walks out here, accompanied by Josh Alexander & Lance Archer. They join Schiavone in the ring and Callis stops Schiavone already. He has a very special announcement! He would like to introduce to us the greatest wrestler in the history of Japan! Better than Rikidozan, than Inoki, than Muta, than Tanahashi… the NEWEST member of the Don Callis Family, the Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada! The fans boo even more as the Continental Champion makes his way out to the ring. Okada shakes hands with Callis, and Callis interrupts Schiavone again.

Callis says that he and Okada would like to show everyone some very special footage. Roll the tape! The tape is of course the last time we saw these two, and the horrible trap they had set for Kenny Omega. Schiavone says that was one of the most despicable things in wrestling history! Callis says you can almost smell the diverticulitis coming outta Omega’s mouth! Schiavone says how dare Callis laugh at someone coughing up blood! What is wrong with him!? Callis says he is sick and tired of Schiavone coming out here and talking bad about him and Okada and the Callis Family, “like the sleezy feline that you are!”

But Callis and his family are here to talk about Kenny Omega! “Kenny, how does it feel to know that your greatest opponent, Okada, and the man who knows all your weaknesses, Don Callis, have teamed up against you?! I know, Kenny, you’re laying in a hospital bed right now…” The fans tell Callis to STFU but Callis just talks louder. Omega surely has tubes coming outta his guts, with a colostomy bag hanging out the side! Omega won’t even make it to All In! But IF Omega does make it there, and wrestles the greatest wrestler in the history of Japan, then Omega needs to know that he will truly be alone.

Omega destroyed his friendship with the Young Bucks, with Callis, and is alone in this world with not even one friend left! But then out steps Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as The Chicken tells Callis, “My Lord, would you PLEASE shut the hell up!? You sound stupid, you weird lookin’ bastard! You say Kenny has no friends? Well sheesh, I’ll be damned, I’m his friend! But y’know what? I’m not his only friend.” Because KOTA IBUSHI IS HERE! The fans go nuts seeing the Golden Star return to AEW! Archer rushes them, but Briscoe attacks first! That lets Ibushi strut right up to the Walking Weapon in the ring!

The fans fire up as Ibushi dodges Alexander, then fires off a strike fest! Alexander ducks a kick, Ibushi ducks the rolling elbow, and Ibushi ROUNDHOUSES Alexander down! The fans fire up while Callis freaks out, but now Ibushi and Okada are alone in the ring. The fans go nuts already as Golden Star and Rainmaker stare down. Okada fires a forearm, but Ibushi fires back! Okada UPPERCUTS, but Ibushi fires off a strike fest! SOBAT and ROUNDHOUSE! Okada falls and he scurries out of the ring! Callis is there, and he gets his new moneymaker outta there! Will Ibushi make sure Omega gets a fair shake in Texas?

Collision returns to a brawl!

Apparently, the Workhorsemen got into it with Big Bill & Bryan Keith in the back, and now it has spilled out to ringside! JD Drake & Anthony Henry have the advantage as they use chairs on the Redwood & Bad Apple! Henry sits Keith in a corner of the railing, then runs around the way! But Bill BOOTS him down! The fans are fired up, but then Drake CLUBS Bill! But Keith SMACKS Drake with a chair! Keith shouts for Bill to get ’em! Bill stands Drake up, SMACKS him off steel steps, then Keith SMACKS Drake off steps! And repeat! Keith stomps Henry, SMACKS Drake off steps, and then Bill SMACKS Drake off steps!

Henry shields Drake but that just gets him a CLUBBING forearm! Keith sets chairs up together, Bill SMACKS Henry off steps, and Keith has Bill haul Henry up. Bill gives Henry a SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM onto the chairs!! Henry falls in a heap with all that steel, and Bill wants a mic! Wait, now Christian Cage wants to be out here? The fans are fired up either way as Captain Charisma leads The Patriarchy out here. “Seattle… Sit down and shut your mouths while I conduct my business!” The fans boo instead. Christian says they know it and he knows it. The only good things to ever come outta Washington are Mother Shayna and Nick Wayne! So again, show some damn respect!

The fans boo more, and Christian tells Bill & Keith that Christian likes a good backstage brawl as much as the next guy. But when it spills out to ringside and takes away from his air time, then he has a problem. Especially when he was coming out here to make a huge announcement. But hey, maybe they should stand there and listen with the rest of these “sweat hogs,” because this is a pretty damn good announcement. Now, it is no secret that these past couple months, his son, Nick Wayne, has been wrestling at a godlike pace! The fans cheer for Nick, but Christian tells them to shut their mouths while he’s talking!

But believe him when he tells you, that has everything to do with Christian’s guidance. Yet, there are still those who have the audacity to mistake friction for building toughness. But the proof speaks for itself! Nick stands here as the youngest champion this company has ever seen! So why stop there? Why not keep going? Why not make more history? Time for Christian’s son to walk beside him instead of behind him! Time he and Nick embark on a journey that takes them to the top! That sees them become the first-ever father-and-son AEW World Tag Team Champions! The fans are torn on that, but Nick smiles as Christian pats him on the shoulder.

Bill says, “Sorry, did you say that that is your son? Maybe your adopted son. Because if all the things that I’ve heard about Mama Wayne are true… That kid’s real father could be literally anybody. It could be that guy right there! Or what about that guy right there? Oh, oh, wait a second, dead ringer! Dead ringer! Oh my God, that could be your father right there! There he is!” The fans cheer but Bill says if they don’t like what he is saying, then how about Christian come down to the ring to do this right here. Christian says first of all, there is nothing of the sort happening here in Seattle. The fans boo and he asks if they wanna see it.

Well, here’s a question, Big Bill. Is that you talking or is that the bottle talking? Did he fall off the wagon this weekend? Go on a bit of a bender? Maybe he fried too many braincells because he clearly doesn’t know who he’s talking to. Bill doesn’t call the shots, Christian does! He is the Patriarch and this is his Patriarchy! He IS the Face of TNT now and forever! The fans boo but The Patriarchy steps away. Will Bill & Keith take them down all the same?

AEW shares footage from after Summer Blockbuster.

Anthony Bowens was in a bad mood but Billy Gunn wanted to talk things out. Lexy Nair caught up with them first and Billy has “Brittney Spears” hold on. In Lexy’s defense, that outfit really is classic Brittney. But anyway, Daddy Ass tells Bowens it will be a struggle. Bowens says Billy is supposed to be helping him get better. Does he want Bowens to end up like Max Caster? Billy says he got hit in the face by Lance Archer! Well, that’s not on Bowens. They need to get their act together, because Bowens is the Pride of Pro-Wrestling, he needs to climb the ladder in AEW, and he needs to win. Billy says he knows that. What can Daddy Ass do to help Bowens finally hit some homeruns?

Ricochet is here!

The One & Only still wants to assemble a dream team that can help him achieve his dreams, but he rejected Blake Christian & Lee Johnson, the only guys who actually came to see him about it. Is he thinking of recruiting someone from this next match?

JetSpeed VS The Gates of Agony!

Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey have been plotting their own course to titles, namely the AEW World Tag Team Championships. They need to prove themselves to the Hurt Syndicate, can they do that here in Seattle? Or will Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona slam the gates shut on those flight plans?

The bell rings and Speedball starts against Kaun. The fans rally, Kaun rushes up but Bailey dodges. Bailey headlocks, Kaun powers up and out and he RUNS Bailey over! Bailey kips up, then dodges Kaun and hurdles over. Bailey drops down, DROPKICKS Kaun, but Liona tags in and CLOBBERS Bailey! Ricochet vents about losing out on the 4 million Pesos, he blames Lio Rush, and he crosses off CRU as candidates for his crew. Liona TOSSES Bailey to a corner, fires fast hands, but the ref counts. Liona steps on Bailey, steps off, and then drags Bailey up. Tag to Kaun and the Gates double whip. They DOUBLE HIP TOSS, but Bailey lands through!

Bailey dodges lariats and hot tags Knight! The fans fire up as Knight springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG Kaun! Liona runs up, Knight dodges, but Liona blocks the arm-drag! Liona YANKS Knight up but Knight DROPKICKS Liona out! The fans fire up with Knight, and he scoops Kaun to SLAM! But Liona grabs Knight by his hair! Knight PELES Liona, then says “TOO FLY!” UFO SPLASH but onto knees! Kaun turns things around, Ricochet says that’s smart. Kaun whips Knight into railing, into the apron, and back into railing! Kaun then brings KNight all the way around to send into the LED barriers!

The fans boo but Ricochet applauds. Bailey aims at Kaun and PLANCHAS, but Liona BLASTS Bailey outta the air! Ricochet likes that even more! He applauds, Liona pats Ricochet on the shoulder, and the Gates go back to the ring while Collision goes picture in picture.

The Gates soak up heat, then Kaun puts Knight in the ring. Liona is there to CLOBBER Knight and cover, TWO! Liona drags Knight into a shoulder claw! Knight endures as Liona leans on him, then he fights up. Knight JAWBREAKERS free, then runs, only for Liona to LARIAT him back down! Liona drags Knight up, puts him in the corner and tags Kaun. The Gates double whip, then double hip toss into the DOUBLE SLAM! Kaun covers, TWO! Knight stays in this but Kaun stomps Knight around. Kaun then drags Knight up to put in a corner for more stomps. Kaun fires fast hands, then more stomps, but stops as the ref counts.

Kaun argues with the ref and that lets Liona get a cheap shot in! Kaun drags Knight up while Bailey protests, and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Kaun has Knight up top. Knight fires hands in return but so does Kaun. Knight ROCKS Kaun, goes up, and he FLYING LARIATS! Down goes Kaun but both men are down, and the fans fire up! Kaun and Knight crawl, hot tag to Bailey! Bailey goes up top and he MISSILE DROPKICKS!

Ricochet is beside himself, but Knight & Bailey have brought down former ROH World Tag Team & ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions! Is this more than enough to earn their shot at Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin? Will Ricochet have to look elsewhere for henchmen?

8 Woman Tag: Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata & TayJay VS Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!

We heard from both sides of this all-star main event, but now it is time to back up those words. Will La Mera Mera, the Queen, the Blackbelt and the Star of the Show prove theirs is the winning combination? Or will the Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, the ROH Gatekeeper, the FOREVER ROH Women’s World Champion (all Athena’s nicknames) lead her team to victory?

The teams stare down, and then Athena throws the first punch! She brawls with Rosa, Thekla attacks Anna and Megan has Tay, leaving Aminata to stare down with Ford. The bell rings, Aminata and Ford start pushing, and then they start throwing forearms! Ford gets the edge, whips, but Aminata reverses. Ford wheelbarrows, victory rolls, but Aminata rolls through. Ford still runs up to DROPKICK Aminata against ropes! Ford fireman’s carries, but Aminata slips free to snapmare and wrap on the headscissors! CHOCOLATE KISSES~! But Megan stops that with a waistlock and SLAM! But TayJay DOUBLE SUPERKICK!

Thekla CLOBBERS Tay and throws her out! The brawl starts up again, and Athena meets Rosa on the apron! They fire forearms, Rosa fires the back suplex, but then Athena fights off one in return. Aminata ROCKS Athena, Ford BLASTS Rosa, and they stare down again. Ford and Aminata each dare the other to go up, so they go up! The others brawl in a cluster, Ford and Aminata are up on the very top! They both SUPER DUPER MOONSAULT! The fans fire up as everyone goes down, and Collision goes picture in picture!

Ford drags Aminata up to POST her! Megan makes her way into the ring, she has Aminata for a BEARHUG, then RAMS her into a corner! And RAMS and RAMS and RAMS again! The ref reprimands, Megan CHOPS Aminata, then Ford handsprings in for a BACK ELBOW! Ford goes side to side to tag Athena, and then Athena runs in and handspring FOREARMS!

But then Rosa goes after Thekla! But then Ford joins in, and then so does Tay! Megan and Aminata also get in there, and now it is a 4v4 battle for control!

The Chef says, “You’re welcome.” The ROH Women’s World Television Champion is going to team with the ROH Women’s World Champion for ROH Global Wars: Mexico, was this just an appetizer for how that’s going to go? Will this win help Thekla, Megan & Ford also find their way to some golden opportunities?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision here, especially as a follow-up to Grand Slam: Mexico while also helping build Global Wars: Mexico. The All-Star 8 Woman was a great main event, but it sure got the short end of the stick when it came to time. I’m not sure if something went long, but it also feels like AEW relies too much on TNT giving them overrun. Red Velvet helping Athena win was a nice touch, given their tag match against Rosa and Persephone. That match happened in reality already but they gotta keep the kayfabe alive. Though, that’s going to be a busy Thursday with Collision being pushed off Saturday, again.

Great promos to hype up the All-Star 8 Man, and that was a great match, too. The Heels winning makes sense there, too, as Kyle needs momentum before he challenges Cole again, and it adds more heat onto FTR. The Outrunners going after FTR was a nice touch, because A) they’re amigos with Bandido and B) they were friends with FTR like Garcia, so now it is The Outrunners’ turn to settle things with Dax & Cash. Bill & Keith have a good brawl with the Workhorsemen, but I’m a little surprised that’s all we got from them before bringing out The Patriarchy. I almost thought Christian Cage was going to name Kip as his tag partner, but I feel like he wants it to be Nick so he can keep Nick close, and possibly leave him hanging at some point.

Great opening match from Moxley with Fox, but of course Moxley wins and then sends a message to Hangman. And it is definitely a case of “Mox Fears Hangman” for him to talk all tough when he knows Hangman isn’t in Seattle yet. Great match from Swerve VS Shane, especially with all the shenanigans going on ringside. Great win for Swerve, and I guess technically Nana, too. Very good promo from Bowens and Billy to show there is some tension between them now. It is mostly Bowens’ frustrations making him lash out, but I wonder if Bowens starts to distance himself from Billy to truly be a solo act now.

Great to see Ibushi back in AEW, and great tease of Ibushi VS Okada. I suspect Briscoe and Ibushi will team up against Alexander & Archer, and that can help lead to Omega’s return from the “devastating” attack to have some final math on the Omega VS Okada dream rematch. And if Ibushi sticks around, that brings in some intrigue on whether or not we get Golden Lovers back together. I could see either story happening, where Golden Lovers go for a Two Man Power Trip kind of run, getting gold together. But I could also see them being friendly rivals, competing over the same title(s), especially with the “Unified Championship” bringing Continental and International Championship “divisions” together.

Good promo from Mone and a great promo from Toni to hype up their match, but we’ve still got time before there’s any real go-home math. But I said it before so I’ll say it again: It’s called “All In,” so whatever belts Mone has by All In, Mone should go ALL IN with her belts against Toni. Now obviously Mone has no reason to, and Heels never want to “put up or shut up,” but if Toni goads her into putting her money where her mouth is, maybe Mone does it out of anger. And honestly, if Toni wins at All In, wouldn’t she then be owed a match for any number of Mone’s titles anyway? AEW makes good use of the rule that pinning a champ earns a title match, so just cut to the chase.

Very fun Mixed Six with Hologram joining Briscoe & Willow as perhaps the newest member of Conglomeration. But at some point, Hologram needs to win a title or his streak means nothing. Good promo from Kris after that match and how she shoved Yuta. Kris being afraid of Moxley at first was a nice touch, since we’ve seen Mox makes no qualms about hitting a woman wrestler (namely Willow) with a cutter. But then Moxley actually adds to Yuta’s recruitment attempts by being nice to Kris. It makes me wonder if Kris becomes a Death Rider, and maybe the Women’s Division becomes the group’s next phase. Honestly, if not for Mone collecting belts and what not, Marina should’ve gotten a title shot herself by now.

And a great tag match of JetSpeed VS Gates of Agony. I guess with nothing else for them, the Gates defaulted back to being Heels. Ricochet was good on commentary, and as I figured, his story of finding faction members is failing because his standards are too high and he as a personality is too sensitive to put grudges aside. CRU was the right choice to me but then he said no thanks cuz of that Pesos match. As for JetSpeed, they will certainly get that tag title match with Hurt Syndicate, but I feel like MJF will be why the Hurt Syndicate retains.

My Score: 8.8/10
