Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall; INAUGURAL AEW World Champion
History is made, and it is by a man who has already made so much history in the world of professional wrestling! The first AEW World Champion is the Best in the World at What He Does, and what Y2J does is make history. But who will come for Jericho’s title now that he has the target on his back?
My Thoughts:
A really good night for AEW’s biggest event to date. The Buy-In was a lot of fun, as before. The AEW Women’s Division is looking really strong, and there are a lot of great stories already aside from the title. Baker VS Priestley, Brandi VS Allie, and there will surely be plenty of others as AEW TV begins. Nyla Rose wins the battle royal, and then we see a great match between Hikaru Shida and Riho to determine the other contender. Riho winning that to give us a revisit of their encounter from not too long ago is pretty smart writing. Riho is without a doubt the underdog, so from a booking standpoint, she might have a chance of winning. But at the same time, there’s always more fun in the chase, at least for us fans. Nyla would make a great monster champion to take that title for AEW TV, going towards AEW’s next PPV, Full Gear, in November.
SoCal Uncensored had a solid match with “Jurassic Express” aka A Boy, A Smaller Boy, and Their Dinosaur. It may be a bit early to say there will one day be AEW Trios Championships, but if any team is to lead AEW to that, it would be SCU. I suppose “Cracker Barrel Clash” doesn’t mean much more than three crazy people going to the extreme in a match, but it would be interesting to see how many more of these we get as AEW continues on. Havoc winning is pretty big for him, and I wonder if there will come a day when AEW get a midcard title. Guys like Havoc, Janela and Allin could easily be in a match just like we got tonight, but with an AEW Cracker Barrel sponsored title on the line. Cody VS Spears was good not on the match so much as all the story and activity going on outside with Tully and MJF and ARN FREAKIN’ ANDERSON! I honestly thought MJF was going to cost Cody, but then Arn helped. I thought MJF was going to swerve Cody, but then he celebrated with him. I’m sure AEW TV will be when things move towards a possible Cody-MJF feud, tonight was about planting seeds.
Private Party VS Evans & Angelico was a great match, and it means a lot for Private Party to be the winners. Their next match being against the Young Bucks as part of both AEW TV and the AEW Tag Team Championship Tournament, this win means a lot for this up-and-coming team. And so does Evans & Angelico going Heel. They’ll be a major force for the tag division if they’re Heels, and can shine bright since Evans was a solid Heel in Lucha Underground. The tag team match of Best Friends VS The Dark Order was also great, and it just makes sense for the Heel team to take this kind of win. It makes a much better story for a Face team to fight their way up through all the rounds of the tournament to get to those titles, and it can lead to a great story of a Best Friends VS Dark Order rematch. The ladder match was almost too much. I was really concerned for Nick after that table spot, and then Matt in the ladder spot. But Lucha Bros win to keep AAA titles with AAA wrestlers (more or less), but then OMG LAX!? A pretty great debut for them, and this definitely has to shake out in that AEW Tag Team tournament.
PAC VS Omega was a really good substitution for Omega VS MOX. Things did get sloppy in the middle, but that does have to do with the adjustment from the planned Moxley match. But I can imagine that just as PAC won tonight, Moxley was meant to win his match with Omega. Hopefully we can still get Omega VS Moxley down the line, but what a big way for PAC to return to AEW. I suppose since AEW is about being different than other wrestling promotions, maybe PAC can be a contender regardless of being Heel or Face. And Jericho VS Hangman, another great match, and definitely one worthy of closing out the night for THE AEW World Championship. It is natural for Jericho to win, he is the established legend to attract those still unsure about AEW, and again, it’ll be about the chase. Jericho will have that belt to brag and boast about on AEW TV as we head for Full Gear. Hangman, PAC and whoever else can fight their way up to being a contender in the four weeks until then for some great matches and natural booking.
My Score: 9.4/10

Backstage interview with Don Callis & Kyle Fletcher.
Lexy Nair is with the head of the family and his Protostar to bring up Grand Slam. Kyle stops her there, and says she must want to talk about he got booed in his home country, right? No, she was going to say how- How he had a fantastic showing but didn’t quite the job done? No…! She was going to say that we saw Ospreay challenge Kyle to a Steel Cage match for Revolution. Oh, that’s what she wants, huh? An answer to the challenge? Y-Yes… Callis says hold on, how about we talk about what the Family wants first. Callis wants Lexy and AEW to stop gaslighting them with these questions! Stop trying to get them in trouble!
Lexy is trying to get in Kyle’s head! That is not a place Lexy nor Ospreay want to be. Ospreay, as talented as you are, you are equally mentally deficient to think that for one second it is in your best interest to get inside a cage with a man who tried to cripple you and take you out of pro-wrestling! A man who is 6’4″, 235 pounds! A man who is bigger, stronger, and faster than Ospreay! They will use the steel cage like a veg-o-matic on Ospreay’s face! How is that for gaslighting? Callis needs therapy now after this interview. Kyle tells Ospreay that all he has done for years is take, take, and take from Kyle! At Revolution, it ends!
Ospreay wants Kyle in the cage? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! The Aussie Arrow and the Aerial Assassin will go around one more time, but who will survive inside the steel?

Aminata steps over, gives the twerk attack, then wrenches. Julia rolls, wrenches, and YANKS the arm! And YANKS, and YANKS! Julia wristlocks but Aminata slips through, spins Julia around, then hits a headlock takeover. Aminata grinds Julia down, the fans rally, and Julia rolls to a cover! TWO!! Aminata escapes just in time, and the two reset. The fans duel, the two tie up again, and Aminata waistlocks. Julia victory rolls, TWO!
Aminata slips around Julia, snapmares her, and KICKS her in the back! Aminata runs, PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up and Julia sputters. Aminata whips Julia to a corner, then runs up to ROCK her! Aminata DOUBLE CHOPS, the fans “WOO~!” and Aminata says hold on, one more time. But Julia dodges to CHOP, CHOP, and ROCK Aminata! Julia whips corner to corner, LARIATS, then runs side to side for an ELBOW! Julia wrenches Aminata and THROWS her down! Julia DRIBBLES Aminata off the mat, then lets off as the ref counts. Cover, ONE!! Aminata is tougher than that, but Julia CLUBS her while Collision goes picture in picture.
Julia CLUBS away on Aminata more, but Aminata fires body shots. Julia KNEES low, CLUBS Aminata down, then clamps on with a chinlock. Aminata endures, fights around, but Julia keeps her grounded. Aminata fights up, fires body shots, and she rolls Julia up! TWO, but Aminata reels Julia in! FISHERMAN- NO, Julia fires body shots! Julia snap suplexes, then covers, TWO! Julia puts Aminata on ropes to CHOKE her! The ref counts, Julia lets off, and she kicks Aminata out of the ring. Julia waits while Aminata catches her breath and the ring count climbs. Aminata storms up but so does Julia, so Aminata backs up.
The ref has Julia stay back so Aminata can get in. Aminata rolls in, but Julia kicks her low! Julia CLUBS away, then fires a flurry of forearms! Aminata ROCKS Julia back! And ROCKS her again! The forearms go back and forth, but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns, Aminata kicks low but Julia ROCKS her in return! Julia runs, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Aminata brings Julia back up, snap suplexes, and then she storms up to BOOT Julia! Julia wobbles, Aminata snap suplexes again! The fans fire up as Aminata brings Julia up again. Snap suplex number three! The fans cheer, Aminata brings Julia up again, and then FISHERMAN SCREWS! The fans rally up, Aminata feeds off that energy, and she sees Julia in the corner. Aminata runs side to side, BOOT WASH! Aminata drags Julia to the cover, TWO!! Julia survives but Aminata is rather amused.
Aminata covers again, TWO! Aminata drags Julia to a high stack, TWO!! Aminata is getting annoyed now, and she Alabama Lifts, only for Julia to sunset flip! TWO, and Julia SUPERKICKS! Aminata wobbles, Julia runs, and Julia FLYING FOREARMS! Cover, TWO! Julia keeps Aminata down, drags her to a drop zone, and she stomps away! Julia goes up the corner, for a MOONSAULT into boots! Aminata has Julia for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Julia sits up, Aminata has her again, GERMAN SUPLEX! Aminata looms over Julia, but Julia rises again. Aminata grins and says one more. GERMAN- NO, Julia fights by hooking legs!
Julia fires elbows again and again, then runs, but into a scoop! Julia tilt-o-whirls through for an IRON OCTOPUS! Aminata TAPS, Julia wins!
Winner: Julia Hart, by submission
Julia endured all that damage and found a way to drag Aminata down! Will the Hart always win in AEW?
Brian Cage & Lance Archer VS ???
The Murder Machines have called out the Hurt Syndicate for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, but wait, they’re dragging their opponents out to the ring! Brian Cage RAMS into ? over and over in the corner, and Archer LARIATS ? in the corner! Archer runs corner to corner to ELBOW him! And then he runs to ELBOW him again! The fans fire up while Cage stomps away his guy out of the ring. Archer puts the guy in red up top, then lifts him for the BLACKOUT BOMB! Cage gets his guy in blue for the DEADLIFT SUPERPLEX! And then Cage deadlifts that guy just so he and Archer can BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO!
That’s not the end, though! Cage lifts the guy in red, Archer adds his choke grip, MURDER BOMB!! High stack, Murder Machines win!
Winners: Brian Cage
Cage grabs a mic to call out the Hurt Syndicate again! They like to hurt people? Well, hopefully they enjoyed watching that as much as Cage & Archer enjoyed doing that! Because this is what the Murder Machines will do to the Syndicate! Archer says they’re just getting started! They’ll do this anywhere and anytime! Because in the end, #EverybodyDies! Wait, here comes the Hurt Syndicate! Montel Vontavious Porter leads the way for Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, and he has a mic to say, “Pardon me, perhaps my designer shades are obstructing my vision, but I don’t see any championship gold on either one of your waists.
“So who they hell do you think you are, calling out the Hurt Syndicate?” Archer says they’re the Murder Machines, that’s who! MVP tells Lashley to stand down, and then security steps in between both teams. MVP says yes, they saw what they did. Archer did the same thing he’s done for years: beating up a couple of inexperienced locals, hoping for an opportunity. That’s supposed to make an impression? Take yourself more seriously, and take THEM a lot more seriously. Also, they heard about the whole dictating the time and the place. But in the immortal words of Freddy Mercury, “We are the champions.”
Therefore, the Syndicate dictates the time and the place. But MVP is feeling generous, so he’ll do them a favor. Instead of setting these dangerous individuals loose on the Murder Machines now, how about next week, Archer & Cage beat a real team? Then they can talk championship business. The challenge has been issued, but will Archer & Cage take down whatever team they have to in order to have their shot?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti speak.
“You might know our names. But do you know who we are? Held back by our past, fueled by our present. Call us crazy. Call us ruthless. Call us unhinged. Call us… Cru.” The Cru is ready to roll, will they soon rule over AEW?
AEW shares footage from after Dynamite last Wednesday.
Kris Statlander thanked Thunder Rosa for the save against Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne. But next time these b*tches laugh in their faces, let’s just swing on ’em. Rosa says oh she’ll swing on ’em. Will the Superbad Girl & Megasus regret getting on the bad side of The Galaxy’s Greatest & La Mera Mera?
AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS Daniel Garcia & 2Point0!
Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac made it through The Undisputed Kingdom, but they still have plenty of enemies to deal with. Red Death, Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange want revenge on top of the gold, will they have it all? Or will no one stop The Swiss Cyborg, The Decoder & The Bastard?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who is truly the best trio in AEW!
The trios sort out and Yuta starts against Angelo Parker. The bell rings and Parker DROPKICKS Yuta! Parker whips, then ELBOWS Yuta, then he hurries to snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Yuta stays in this but Parker facelocks. Yuta powers Parker to the corner, tag to Claudio, and they mug Parker. Claudio suplexes Parker, Parker slips free, but Claudio storms up. Parker fires body shots. Claudio shoves, only for Parker to duck ‘n’ dodge and- POP UP UPPERCUT! Cover, Garcia breaks it! The fans cheer, Garcia and Yuta talk trash, but the ref has Garcia back off.

Pac brings Parker over, the fans chant, “He’s A Bastard!” Pac CHOKES Parker, lets off, and Yuta gets a cheap shot DROPKICK! The fans boo but Pac then stands on Parker’s head! The ref counts, Pac steps off, and Pac kicks Parker around. Tag to Yuta, Phoenix chants, “We Hate Yuta!” Yuta doesn’t care, and he just CHOPS Parker! Parker fires forearms on the Death Riders!

Then things go to the outside while Collision goes picture in picture.

Winners: The Death Riders, by submission (still AEW World Trios Champions)
But the fighting isn’t over! Pac holds onto Parker, Garcia crawls in, but he gets mugged by Claudio & Yuta! The ref tells Pac to stop, but here comes The Undisputed Kingdom! They want their own payback, and they step right up to The Death Riders! The brawl is on and the fans fire up! Garcia & Menard hep, this is 5v3! The Kingdom LARIAT The Death Riders out, and now Garcia stares down with Cole. The fans like the look of this. Pac stands up, into a SUPERKICK! Kyle & Roddy give Pac SWEEP THE LEG!! The Death Riders retreat, only for Moxley & Marina to storm their way out! The Maniac is pissed about what happened to Pac, but COPE IS HERE!!
The fans fire up as The Rated R Superstar storms out here, with two chairs! The Kingdom, Garcia & 2Point0 dare Moxley and the rest to come on back, but they stay far away! Cope puts Pac’s head on one chair, then wields the other, CON-CHAIR-TO!! The fans want that again, so Cope obliges. CON-CHAIR-TO again!! Cope promised to take out the pawns, and that’s one down! Will Cope be able to eliminate the others before we reach Revolution?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and brings up their issue with Harley Cameron. Taya says they have actually taken issue with Lexy! Lexy said that “everyone” was behind Harley, but Taya can think of two dangerous and sophisticated women who were not. Deonna says they’ll admit, Harley is talented. Harley can sing, rap, do ventriloquism, is funny and tells jokes. But when it comes to the wrestling ring, Harley is not fooling anyone. Harley got a fluke win over Taya, but she has not met the entire Vendetta. And what happened at Grand Slam? Harley LOST! And losers lose. That means Harley is at the back of the line.
So Harley has a choice: move, or be moved. Because The Vendetta has business to take care of. Lexy, MOVE. Lexy runs off, Taya & Deonna head out, but what will Harley choose to do?
Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Despite being 0-2 at his own challenge, Platinum Max is back again, and he introduces himself as The Best Wrestler Alive. He has been doing open challenges every week, and last week, he was disrespected by “Hangperson” Adam Page! The fans chant for “COWBOY SH*T!” but Caster tells them to relax. “Hangperson” attacked before the bell, chased Caster around the arena before he was ready, and so whoever answers tonight’s challenge, Caster implores them to get in this ring, look him in the eye, and shake his hand like a man. But they won’t, because everyone in AEW is afraid of Platinum Max!
“So let’s see who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster waits on his opponent, and it’s… BRODY KING! The fans fire up and Caster freaks out! Julia had her win earlier, will the Hounds of Hell get another win on the night? Caster reluctantly returns to the ring, the fans bark, and the bell sounds. Brody wants to shake hands, so Caster shakes his hand. But then Brody crushes Caster’s hand! Caster freaks out, fires a shot, but Brody CHOPS him down! Brody smirk, runs up, but Caster dodges! Caster dropkicks the legs out, then he clamps on a headlock. The fans rally for Brody and Brody headscissors.
Caster moves around, hops around, headstands, and bridges, but Brody holds on tight! The fans cheer as Brody CHOPS Caster again! Caster sputters and staggers, but into a BACKDROP from Brody! Caster flounders to a corner, the fans bark again, and Brody runs up to SPLASH! The barking continues, and Brody roars before he CANNONBALLS! Brody drags Caster to a cover, Brody wins!
Winner: Brody King, by pinfall
Well, at least Caster got his handshake… But this makes 0-3, is Caster going to realize his “Best Wrestler Alive” claim might be exaggeration?
Backstage interview with The Outrunners.
Lexy is with Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd, and she congratulates them on their big win during ROH Global Wars last week. That begs the question, though: What’s next? Truth says nothing succeeds like success! He can’t even tell us the feeling when the entire country of Australia was cheering them as they chopped down The Learning Tree! Tell ’em, Turb! Turbo says that he’s been thinking, too, what is next? How can they top things? How can they go bigger and better? But then Hurt Syndicate walks through, and The Outrunners flag them down. Truth & Turbo heard about that challenge over Murder Machines VS “a real team,” for a shot at the tag titles.
So what if The Outrunners was the team to beat the Murder Machines? What then? MVP looks to his associates, and then says okay, here’s some good news and some bad news. Okay, okay! MVP says the good news is: If Outrunners do win, then they get the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. Nice! That’s what they’re talking about! The bad news is… If they beat the Murder Machines, it’s a tag title match with Lashley & Shelton. Good luck, boys. The Outrunners misunderstand and think this is a win-win, but will it just end up a lose-lose when Cage & Archer are through with them?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
It seems Harley will NOT be moved, as she is stepping up to The Virtuosa! Harley VS Deonna 1v1 is happening, but will Harley go 2-0 against The Vendetta? Plus, a bounty has been put out on Will Ospreay! And while it isn’t hard to guess who did it, it’s the Bad Apple that wants to collect! Will Bryan Keith take out Ospreay before Revolution? Or will the Aerial Assassin strike first?
ROH World Championship: Chris Jericho VS Bandido!
Speaking of that Global Wars match, not only did The Learning Tree lose, but Jericho himself was pinned by The Most Wanted! This title match has been a long time coming, but will The Nueve still be the Nueve? Or will Bandido bring honor back to ROH?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and it’s time to see who reigns as El Campeon de Honor!
The bell rings, the fans are all behind Bandido, but Jericho gets on the corner. The fans boo Jericho, but then Bandido climbs up. The fans cheer Bandido! Jericho is annoyed by that, but Bandido feeds off that energy. The Code of Honor is finally offered by Bandido, and Jericho reluctantly takes it. Both men get in the other’s face, there’s a bit of trash talk, but then Bandido doesn’t let Jericho back up. Bandido aims his finger gun and says he’s got a shot with Jericho’s name on it. But then Jericho doesn’t let Bandido back up, and he pokes Bandido in the eyes! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Jericho ROCKS and CHOPS!
Jericho headlocks, Bandido powers up and out, but Jericho runs him over! Jericho soaks up the heat, then keeps moving. Bandido is up, hurdles, then drops. MOHNEKY FLIP! Bandido then LARIATS and the fans fire up! Jericho kicks low, CHOPS again, then whips. Bandido handsprings, Jericho dodges, but Bandido aims the finger gun. Jericho runs up, Bandido TOSSES Jericho out, then DIVES! Direct hit into the railing and Phoenix fires up! Bandido is back in the ring, he builds speed and FLIES! Down goes Jericho! Phoenix fires up with Bandido again, and then Bandido kicks Jericho. Bandido puts Jericho in the ring, then aims from the apron.
Bandido springboards and- CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Jericho snarls but Bandido is still in this. Jericho slaps Bandido around, taunts him, then drags Bandido up. Fans chant “Please Retire!” Jericho CHOPS, whips, then runs up to LARIAT in the corner! Jericho fires LARIAT after LARIAT, but only gets 4 before Bandido flops down. Jericho drags Bandido up to the top rope, CHOPS again, then climbs. Jericho pretends he can’t hear the fans, then he rains down fists! Jericho goes NUEVE~, then TEN! “Retire this!” SUPER STEINER! Bandido flounders, fans are torn because that is still impressive, and Jericho revels in it all the same.
Bandido goes to the apron, Jericho goes out to fetch him, and Jericho CLUBS Bandido. Jericho reels Bandido in, but Bandido fights the bomb! Jericho CLUBS away, Bandido fires body shots, then Bandido CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Jericho CHOPS back! Jericho fires forearms now, then gets some space. Jericho runs up, but into a RANA! Bandido sends Jericho to the floor! The fans fire up while both men are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Bandido and Jericho slowly stir, and luckily ROH rules means a 20 count. Bandido and Jericho are still down past 10, then finally sit up at 15. We hit 17, 18, and both men lunge in at 19! The match continues as both men crawl towards each other. They go forehead to forehead, then rise up for Jericho to fire a forearm! Bandido gives that back, so Jericho fires another! The forearms go back and forth, they gain speed, and they stand up to fire a flurry! Bandido fires a flurry, but then DOUBLE FOREARMS take both men down! Jericho goes to ropes, Bandido rises at center, and Collision returns to single picture.
Bandido eggs Jericho on, but Jericho CHOPS! Bandido CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS again, and repeat! The fans “WOO~” with every CHOP, but Jericho CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Jericho CHOPS Bandido on the back! Jericho soaks up the cheers and jeers, then he CHOPS! Bandido CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, then Bandido fires a flurry of CHOPS! Jericho CLAWS the eyes! Jericho whips, Bandido reverses then runs up, but Jericho puts him on the apron! Bandido GAMANGIRIS, then he goes up the corner! TORNILLO CROSSBODY! The fans fire up and Bandido hauls Jericho up, atomic FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!
Jericho stays in this but Bandido runs, only for Jericho to fireman’s carry! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Bandido survives and Jericho is annoyed. Jericho SLAPS Bandido, then he drags Bandido up. Jericho CHOPS, whips, but Bandido KICKS Jericho! Bandido then dodges the lariat to SUPERKICK! Bandido runs, into a BOOT! Jericho and Bandido DOUBLE HAYMAKER, and both men fall again! The fans fire up and Jericho slowly sits up. But then Bandido sits up like a Deadman! Both men are now back to back, and this time, we’re gonna get a real showdown! They take their ten paces and are in the corners!
The fans fire up, both men run up, but Bandido scoops Jericho to a torture rack! GO TO- NO, Jericho blocks the leg to turn Bandido over! WALLS OF JERICHO!! Bandido endures, claws at the mat, and the fans rally as hard as they can! Bandido powers up, fights his way forward, and he has the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Jericho lets go and argues with Aubrey, and then throws a fit. Bandido rises, Jericho runs in, but Bandido gorilla presses! And with one arm! Then the SLAM! The fans are thunderous as Bandido goes up, up, and Latino Heat for the FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TWO?!? Jericho survives but fans cheer for “EDDIE! EDDIE!”
Bandido is frustrated, but Jericho knew Eddie well. Bandido keeps the Latino Heat going as he kicks Jericho. Then Bandido runs, but into a DROPKICK! Bandido tumbles to the apron, Jericho runs, triangle jump- NO, Bandido jumps up and SUNSET FLIP BOMBS him out of it! Cover, TWO!??! “This is Awesome!” as Bandido sits Jericho up. Bandido feeds off that energy and he whips Jericho. Jericho grabs ropes, avoids the dropkick, and he LIONSAULTS! Cover, TWO!! Bandido stays in this and Jericho is beside himself! Jericho goes for Bandido, Bandido cradles him! TWO!! Jericho escapes with nanoseconds to spare!
Jericho runs up, goes up,” Hi, Guys~!” RANA! Cover, TWO! Jericho snarls as his “Hi Spot” didn’t finish this. But then Jericho goes up a corner for a high spot! Only for Bandido to GAMANGIRI! Bandido climbs up, fires hands, then goes to the very top! Bandido clinches Jericho, scoops him, MOONSAULT AND BATTERY!!! The fans are thunderously losing their minds, Bandido crawls to the cover, TWO?!?! Bandido is too tired to even be shocked, and he drags Jericho back up. Gut wrench, Canadian Rack, then the flip, BUENAS NOCHES! But Jericho ends up on ropes, so Bandido plays the hot hand! BLACKJACK 21- VICTORY ROLL!! JERICHO WINS!!!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall (still ROH World Champion)
Jericho doesn’t let Bandido get him with the same move a second time, and he is still on top of ROH! Will anyone ever take that gold away from The Learning Tree?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, even for being recorded after Dynamite on Wednesday. Jericho VS Bandido was a great main event, but I had a feeling Jericho would retain the title. It’s the conundrum of having Jericho be the ROH World Champion again. I know they want ROH to get back on cable and they want to use a recognizable name to sell networks on, but I just don’t think it happens even with Jericho. And the saddest thing is, Bandido is 0-2 against Jericho when he really shouldn’t be.
At least the night opened with a great move. Mariah VS Toni part 3 was inevitable, so Mariah attacking Toni while being this disheveled psycho was a great move. “The Hollywood Ending” is going to be great, maybe even more violent than anything we’ve seen from these two yet. Hologram VS Mortos was the real main event, that match was awesome and just because these two wanted to bust out everything they had for Hologram’s first match back. Great win for Hologram, great save from Komander, and I’m sure they’ll have a great tag match with LFI.
Great stuff from Gabe VS Butcher, mostly because Gabe showed his power level by dominating Butcher and never really being in trouble. Don Callis scouting him is interesting, but he could think of recruiting Gabe to the Family over how Gabe could want a rematch with Kenny Omega. And then good promo from Callis & Kyle to accept the Steel Cage Match challenge, that’ll be great stuff. Cage & Archer of course destroyed Team Sky High, Mondo Rox & Robbie Lit, but the main thing is that now we have a #1 contenders match: Murder Machines VS Outrunners. Either choice is good for facing Hurt Syndicate, but it seems odd that Outrunners would get fed to either Murder Machines or Hurt Syndicate with how hot they’re running.
On the flip side, Lio & Action have a promo again after being gone for weeks and letting their story with Top Flight go cold. Their team name of “The Cru” is interesting. To be fair, I was calling the faction they had with Top Flight & Leila Grey “Top Flight Crew” and so now they’ve just split that name. But can two men really be a “crew” and not just a duo? Maybe they add a person or two? Either way, they just need to finish their feud with Top Flight once and for all. Though that seems to be something AEW rarely does. Serena Deeb really should’ve shown up after Aminata’s loss to keep that story alive, it’s barely even going.
Julia VS Aminata was a good match, and I suppose Julia showing toughness in that win is fine, but it felt dragged out. On the other hand, Brody deals with Caster quickly, which is perfect for the story. At a certain point, Bowens should answer the Open Challenge, and they should also put that certificate of “Best Wrestler Alive” on the line. Or at least have Bowens rip it up. Okada had a good promo to talk trash on Buddy while also talking trash on everyone else. I wouldn’t mind seeing Brody call out Okada in return and they have a match for Revolution. Harley had a great promo, and Vendetta had a good response. Harley VS Deonna will be great stuff, I wonder if Harley gets an ally against The Vendetta to escalate the story.
Um… Was that promo from Kris and Rosa to explain why Rosa didn’t take a swing? Or to cover for how things didn’t really make sense live on Dynamite? I mean, obviously they had to cover for it, that was really a janky moment. But hopefully they get us to Kris & Rosa VS Ford & Megan as fast as they can to put that story to rest and send someone towards a title match.
I do appreciate they aren’t wasting time in Cope going after the Death Riders like he promised on Wednesday. Great Trios title match, but I figured 2Point0 was losing. The Undisputed Kingdom showing up to make the save was a natural move, and they of course teased Daniel Garcia VS Adam Cole for the TNT Championship. Cope hitting Pac with the Con-Chair-to twice was some good stuff, and you can bet the same thing or similar is in store for the rest. And as for Marina, that’s perfect for bringing Willow into the story, Willow can handle Marina on behalf of Cope.
My Score: 8.8/10

MJF is here!
Phoenix is a bit torn over the Scumbag opening the night, but he and the Cowboy are set to have their face to face, with a strict No Physicality Order in effect. As such, Hangman Page makes his entrance next. The fans are ready for some #CowboyS*it as the two stare down from opposite corners. MJF throws his gum at the fans, which they boo, and then he grabs himself a mic. “I don’t speak Poor, I’m talking, thanks. The year was 2019. The first-ever event in the history of this event was Double Or Nothing. The first match in the history of this company was the Casino Battle Royal. The winner would have the opportunity to go on and become the inaugural world champion.
“I had the match won. It was the biggest opportunity of my life, and you screwed me. You cheap shotted me like a gutless little worm. So you know what I did? I had to scratch and claw my way back to the top. And I did so by beating some of the biggest names professional wrestling has to offer. Think of your favorite wrestler; yeah, I beat ’em! Though, looking down at my beautiful~ Dynamite Diamond Ring, I’m struggling to remember who I beat the first time I won this bad boy. Oh, that’s right, it was you. I then proceeded to go on to become a six-time Dynamite Diamond Ring Champion.
“I main evented, headlined and won the biggest wrestling event of all time in Wembley Stadium. I am a former International Champion, the best and longest reigning AEW World Champion of all time, the greatest wrestler on God’s green Earth, and do you know why, Hangman?” Fans tell MJF to STFU but MJF says it’s because he’s Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he’s better than you, and you know it. MJF smiles and soaks up the heat from Phoenix, but then Hangman takes his turn. Why is MJF talking like Hangman doesn’t know who he is? Hangman knows exactly who MJF is and what MJF has done.
MJF is 28 years old, and already has a history making wrestling career. Hangman will give MJF that, and MJF should be proud of himself. But when MJF listed all of his accomplishments, he sounded angry about them. All of that, and MJF can’t be happy. Is it because there’s something that MJF still hasn’t been able to win… from the fans? MJF tells Hangman to shut his mouth! MJF calms down, and says no, you think he cares about the fans? He doesn’t give a damn about them! The fans boo but MJF tells them to shut up! MJF thinks it’s funny that the hypocrites who is redeemable and who is not.
Hangman has had everything handed to him on a silver platter, because these shmucks woke up and just decided Hangman’s the main character? The fans cheer that! Really? A guy who drank another man’s blood? A guy who attacked innocent veterans in the locker room? A guy who stabbed a syringe through another human’s face? The guy who was low down and vile enough to burn another man’s house down to ashes? Yet HE is the good guy!? MJF mocks the cheering, and says yay~, Hangman’s the hero! Just ask the fans! To them, Hangman did nothing wrong. But these morons will chant Cowboy S*it at the top of their lungs… Oh, and there they go!
Do you feel that, Hangman? Do you feel all warm and fuzzy? Everyone loves Hangman Adam Page! But MJF has a question for him: After everything Hangman has done… Does Hangman love Hangman? Did Hangman love himself after ending the career of his mentor, Christopher Daniels? After he absolutely demolished that worthless, talentless, jobber hack? Hangman tells MJF, “Don’t you dare! Don’t you DARE! Christopher Daniels is ten times the man that you will ever be! And if I could rip out my spine and give it to him, I would do it in a heartbeat!” The fans cheer that!
Hangman says Daniels’ 32 year career, flew 100 times around the globe, and if there’s a wrestling company that mattered in their lifetime, Daniels gave a part of his life to it! He went down fighting! Fighting for his life! Daniels died a warrior’s death! Hangman knows CD, and he knows Daniels would not have had it any other way. The fans cheer that, too. Daniels took care of pro-wrestling, even when pro-wrestling didn’t take care of him. Daniels is the best of us. And men and women like Daniels is why MJF and Hangman are even in this ring, don’t you ever forget that. The fans cheer that, and they chant for “FALLEN ANGEL!”
MJF scoffs at that, but Hangman says that selflessness, self-awareness and humility of Daniels that MJF doesn’t understand. MJF doesn’t have the stomach for it. If MJF’s career ended tonight, and if he doesn’t wipe that s*it eating grin off his face, it just might… But if MJF’s career ended tonight, what would the fans say about him? Would they say MJF is a credit to their sport? To this world? Or would they say he was an opportunist and a selfish coward? A man who took every shortcut he could, chasing all the power and glory that he thought would win their admiration.
MJF asked why, after everything Hangman has done, the people care about him. Hangman will not be as arrogant to say he understands it, or to put words in their mouths, but he will speak for himself. Hangman knows what is right, he knows what is wrong, and he tells the truth about it. In five years, he’s probably lied 100 times, but never once has he lied to the fans! And if Hangman has had a problem, he has faced it head on eye-to-eye. He didn’t run from it, didn’t hide it, and everything he has had, he worked for. The AEW Tag titles, the AEW World title, and a family that through all of this stood by him unconditionally! Believe him, it was not easy!
MJF has spent five years cheating, scheming his way to the top, and anyone that stood in his way, he told them he was better than them. And Hangman hopes that for once, for MJF’s own sake, there is a small part of him that is wondering, “Is it true?” Because it’s not. Deep down, Hangman thinks MJF knows that. MJF seethes, then smirks, then laughs. MJF asks, “Are you a child?” Oh, sowwy Hangman, sowwy fans, did he not win fairsy-squarsy on his way to the top? Oh no~! Hey, newsflash, dips*its, the history books don’t give a damn how you get the job done. MJF earned everything. Can’t say the same for Hangman.
Because whether Hangman cares to admit it or not, before the doors of this company even opened, the powers at be decided they were going to prop Hangman up. He was their golden boy, their chosen one. Hangman walked in at 2019 with all the buzz and propaganda in the world. Wanna know what MJF came in with? All MJF needed was a scarf and a mic! Hangman has earned NOTHING! MJF walks better, talks better, looks better, dresses better, and IS better! Name one thing Hangman does better than MJF. NAME IT! Hangman says, “I am real.” The fans cheer that, and the mics drop. They’re face to face, but they have to remember the No Physicality Order.
MJF looks to the fans, then he says Hangman can be the main character all he wants. MJF has no problem being the bad guy. Another mic drop, and then the jackets come off! Security hurries up to the apron to tell them remember the order. Hangman dares MJF to do something, but MJF stands down. But then he SPITS at Hangman! The fans boo as we see the saliva hanging from Hangman’s hair…! Hangman bolts at MJF but MJF bolts outta the ring! MJF smirks, having turned his level headed choice into a cowardly move. Hangman DECKS security guard after security guard, then hammers away on one poor soul!
Someone pulls Hangman back, and Hangman almost swings on them, until he sees it’s Christopher Daniels! Hangman calms down, and Daniels tells Hangman this is what he was fighting for this whole time. Hangman knows who he is, so don’t listen to MJF. Understood? Hangman nods, and he heads out. When and where will The Cowboy get his hands on the Devil of AEW?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Renee Paquette is with Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong, and notes Roddy is in the Revolution International Championship Series, facing Orange Cassidy. With the PPV around the corner, how does he expect this to shake out? Roddy shouts “ORRRANGE! Cassidy. Man, I feel like we’re gonna do this forever. We are destined to dance forever. And I get it, you’re friends with my pal over here, Mr. Kyle O’Reilly. But that’s not gonna stop me from destroying you tonight, going on to next week to beat Takeshita, and going on to Revolution to defeat Kenny Omega.”
Renee brings up the conflict of interest for Kyle with The Conglomeration, but Kyle says The Conglomeration is not so much a stable as it is a lifestyle. They love to hang, they love to conglomerate, and yeah, Orange is Kyle’s boy. But Roddy’s gonna have to break that back. Cole adds that regardless of who is friends with who, Roddy whoops Orange’s ass. And that is Undisputed. The Kingdom is ready, but will they run the Revolution? Or will things be Freshly Squeezed here tonight?

Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee is with the ROH World Champion and brings up how Jericho vowed to show Bryan Keith how it was done. He went to confront Bandido, but uh, did he accomplish what he set out to do given he just got pinned by Bandido at ROH Global Wars? Jericho says Renee should wipe that smirk off her face. What makes her think she can talk to Jericho like that? Renee isn’t sure what he’s getting at, but Jericho asks what makes her think he can’t have her thrown out of the building? He can, y’know! If not for him, Renee wouldn’t have a job. No one in AEW would have a job if not for him!
The truth is: No Chris Jericho, no AEW! That is a fact, not pro-wrestling rhetoric! Yet instead of getting treated with respect like the living legend he is, he gets nothing but vitriol and disrespect. Why is that? Is he too nice? Maybe the Learning Tree needs to give a history lesson. Jericho is The Nueve, that means nine in Spanish. As in a nine-time world champion, in multiple companies and multiple countries. Jericho is the guy walking down the street in Brisbane just a few days ago, and fans were asking to take pictures. Then Bandido is the guy you hand the camera to so he can take their picture.
Jericho tells Bandido got his biggest win ever, congrats. Jericho will give Bandido his chance at the ROH World Championship this Saturday on Collision. The bounty no longer means anything. Bandido gets his chance to beat Jericho, but Jericho gets his chance to prove that everyone is too comfortable around Chris EFFIN’ Jericho! Jericho storms off, but will he regret gambling with The Most Wanted?
Street Fight: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS “Big Bill” Morrissey!
Speaking of grudge matches, these two have gone back and forth with their brawling! They’ve fought backstage, fought in the parking lot, and even took this fight to Australia over the weekend with Global Wars! But it’s gotta end somehow!

MEAT!” and Bill storms out after Hobbs. Bill CLUBS away on Hobbs, then brings him into the crowd! Hobbs fires a body shot, sends him into a guard rail, then takes a fan’s beer can to SMASH Bill in the face! Bill ELBOWS back, UPPERCUTS, then UPPERCUTS again! Bill HAMMERS away on Hobbs, then talks smack on the fans. Bill ROCKS Hobbs, but Hobbs ROCKS Bill! The haymakers go back and forth, and Hobbs brings Bill around to CLUB away!
The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” again, and Hobbs pushes Bill to ringside. Hobbs LARIATS Bill over railing! The fans fire up, Hobbs high-fives a few, then he goes to get Bill on his feet.

Hobbs falls, clutching his leg, but Bill takes the keyboard to SMACK Hobbs on the back! Fans chant “OVER HERE! OVER HERE!” in hopes the action heads their way. Bill goes looking under the ring, and he brings out a monkey wrench!?

That’s strike three and Bill is disarmed of the wrench! Hobbs grabs a chair to JAM Bill up! And SMACK him on the back! Now that was a base hit! The fans want more, so Hobbs SMACKS Bill again! The fans fire up and Hobbs brings Bill up. But Bill CRAKS Hobbs with the monkey wrench!! Bill gets his own base hit, the ref has a standing count on Hobbs, but the fans want tables. Bill tells them STFU and shove it! The fans boo but Hobbs is up at 9.5 of 10!
Bill brings steel steps around, then he goes back for Hobbs. Hobbs is busted open, but Bill BOOTS him right back down! Bill drags Hobbs over, then CHOKE SLAMS him on the steel steps! Hobbs sputters, the fans boo, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Bill enjoys seeing Hobbs’s blood on him, and even uses it like lipstick! Bill swaggers like Jagger, tells the fans to shove it, then Bryan Keith appears! Keith and Bill high-five, then they work together to haul the other steel steps around. They get it onto the stage, then they bring out more plunder from under the ring. Oh, look! A table! They set that in the ring while Hobbs sputters to his feet. Dynamite returns to single picture while Bill sets up the table. The fans rally for Hobbs as he leans against the apron. Bill stands the table up in a corner, but Hobbs drags himself into the ring. Hobbs has the trash can, and he SMASHES it on Bill’s face!
The fans fire up as Hobbs winds up again, and he SMASHES Bill again! Bill flounders, Hobbs rips his shirt away, and the fans fire up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs storms up on Bill, scoops him, but Keith is in! Hobbs drops Bill to PUNCH the chair! Keith panics, apologizes, but Hobbs CHOKE SLAMS him through the table! The fans fire up again, but Bill BOOTS Hobbs again! Hobbs tumbles to the ramp, Bill goes out after him, and fans chant “MEAT FOREVER!” Hobbs scoops Bill!? And POWERSLAMS him on the ramp! Hobbs then looks around, and he finds Bill’s backpack. Hobbs CLOBBERS Bill with the backpack!
Hobbs grins, and he dumps out the BRICKS that were inside! Hobbs then stalks Bill to the stage, where Bill put the steel steps! Hobbs ROCKS Bill with a right, ROCKS him again, and Bill is also busted open! The fans fire up as Hobbs fires off punch after punch! Hobbs stands Bill up to ROCK him, but Bill UPPERCUTS! Hobbs ROCKS Bill, Bill UPPERCUTS Hobbs, repeat! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs wobbles, but he kicks low! Hobbs brings Bill over, SMACKS him off the steel steps, and then DRIBBLES him off it! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs winds up to SMACK Bill off the steps again!
The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes up the steps, and he drags Bill up to join him! Hobbs pops Bill up, to SPINEBUSTER down through barbed-wire tables!! The fans are thunderous and losing their mind! The count begins, Bill is still down at 5, just struggling to get out of the barbed wire! We hit TEN, Hobbs wins!!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by TKO
The fans cheer as Hobbs is the Last Big Meaty Man Standing! Will this vindication be more than enough for the Book of Hobbs to turn the page?
Backstage interview Brian Cage & Lance Archer.
Renee is now with The Don Callis Family’s Murder Machines, and brings up how they upstaged the Hurt Syndicate last week. That was a rather bold statement. Brian says yeah, bold indeed. But take a look at them! It is easy for them to do! The Murderhawk and The Machine have something to say, because they have business with the Hurt Syndicate. But big surprise, they’re nowhere to be found. Archer says word is, Hurt Syndicate will be at Collision. So if they wanna put on their big boy pants, the Hurt Syndicate can talk with the Murder Machines about those AEW World Tag Team Championships.
But in the end, Cage & Archer will take them, and #EverybodyDies. Then will MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin accept the challenge this close to Revolution?
BREAKING NEWS for AEW in Phoenix!
Phoenix’s own Justin Roberts tells the fans here that if they hadn’t heard, AEW will be returning to Phoenix very soon, and with a PPV! AEW is going Double Or Nothing in Arizona on May 25th, 2025!

Phoenix fires up as AEW is once again Timeless! For once again, and for a historic FOURTH time, Toni Storm is the NEW AEW Women’s World Champion! Luther helps Toni into the ring, and Toni grabs herself a mic. The spotlight is on her as the fans chant her name. Toni smiles, and says, “This whore you all adore… This slut you can’t rebut… This tramp is your NEW CHAMP!” The fans cheer again, and Toni continues. “On the other side of the world, in front of friends, family and former lovers, I faced the Woman From Hell. A woman… who broke my heart, took my title, and ruined my soul. Mariah May, you SICK B*TCH!”
But Mariah, Toni says she is also so proud of her. Because Mariah gave Toni the fight of her life, and then Toni won with her Small Package. “They say the best things come in small packages, but darling, you should’ve won protection, because I railed you with the biggest package there’s ever been!” Toni says Mariah has been defeated, exiled, and compromised to a permanent end. And now, it is time for a cheap plug. Toni stars in the new film, Queen of the Ring, in theaters starting March 7th, do enjoy. The fans cheer that! As for the championship, if Toni is going to be the best, then she needs to face the best.
Toni says women of wrestling, lend her your ears. Because whether you are here just to stick your chin up, your tits out, or you’re someone like Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale, or even Wendy bloody Richter… If you want to go face to face, tit to tit or even lip to lip, Toni is not hard to find, darling! “For God is a woman, and her name… is TIMELESS~…!” Toni drops the mic, picks up the belt, and takes a bow. The fans all cheer, Toni blows a kiss, and fade to black. Who will answer this call and come for Toni Storm’s gold?

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
AEW returns as Renee is now with The Babe with the Power, and as Renee starts to bring up last week, Willow speaks up. She got one minute of precious TV time, and Renee’s husband of all people interrupts to have Marina attack her. Willow’s 2025 is already off to a terrible start. Willow tells Moxley, Marina, and the Death Riders that she is- OH WAIT, here comes Marina! Willow and Marina brawl, but Marina uses the briefcase on her! And then she send Willow into a road case, then KICKS her down! Moxley steps in and tells the cameraman to follow him. Things head to the stage, and the fans are torn as Moxley grabs a mic.
Moxley goes to the ring, Marina, Yuta and Claudio in tow, and Moxley tells Phoenix he’s gonna ask a question. “Do you know just who in the hell I am?” The fans certainly do, but Moxley says he’s the champion of the world, that’s who! That means this is his mic, that’s his camera, this is his ring, this is his arena, and you’re sitting in his seats! So nobody comes into his house and lays down some challenge to him like they’re somebody! He doesn’t care even if it’s the Rated R Superstar! And he’ll tell ya, Adam Copeland is NOT here! He’s still on his ass in Australia, facedown in the dirt! Cope made a challenge, but Moxley about popped Cope’s head off his shoulders with his bare hands!
So if Cope shows up at Revolution, Moxley will finish the job! WAIT! Jay White is here! The Switchblade storms out and tells Moxley to hush. White sees it is 4v1, but wait! The Bastard slither sin from the shadows! White says fine, more the merrier! But wait! COPE IS HERE!? Moxley is a bit surprised, but he figures he’ll still keep his promise. Except Cope slithers in from the crowd side! Cope CLUBS Moxley down then HAMMERS away! The Death Riders are stunned, White gets Pac for a BLADERUNNER to the stage! Cope fights off Yuta and Claudio, then SPEARS Yuta! Claudio has Cope, but Cope shoves free!
White is there to clinch Claudio, BLADERUNNER into the SPEAR!! So is that a Spear Runner? Cope then finds SPIKE! She didn’t make the trip to Brisbane, but she’s here in Phoenix! White also gets a chair, and Cope takes a swing! Moxley and Marina run away, get into the crowd, but Cope pursues! Will Cope chase Moxley all the way to LA? Cope grabs a mic, and he shouts for Moxley! “This isn’t your arena. These aren’t your seats. These aren’t your people! They’re MY people!” The fans cheer that! Cope tells Moxley that he’s probably halfway to the hotel, hostel, or whatever bridge he lives under. But he knows Mox will see this.
Mox is a COWARD! No nuts, no guts, no spine! He needs his goons, but guess what? As of now, Cope takes them out one by one by one! When we get to Revolution, it will be man to man, and Cope will kick Moxley’s ass! The fans are ready, will the Road to Revolution be nothing but Rated R?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee welcomes in The CEO, and Mone says, “Phoeniiiix~! Say hello to your C E O! It feels so good, Renee. And Renee, I don’t want any interruptions, no surprises, and no damn puppets, you hear me?” Renee says of course, no puppets. Just congratulations for the great win at Grand Slam Australia. This makes Mone 14-0 as a TBS Champion, and it feels like there is no stopping the Money Train. Mone agrees, there IS no stopping the Money Train. And Harley learned first hand that there is a price to pay when you mess with Mercedes Mone. Then being just over two weeks away from Revolution, Momo Watanabe gave some comments in Australia.
Footage plays and Lexy Nair interviewed Momo Watanabe to bring up how she won the International Women’s Cup. That means Momo can challenge any Women’s Champion she wants from CMLL, Stardom, ROH and AEW. Momo was clearly scouting competition, has she made a decision? Yes, Momo has chosen Mone and the TBS Championship. She will see Mone at Revolution to put a stop to the Money Train. Mone asks what the hell!? She just said no surprises! But if Momo wants to face Mone for the title, then show up to Dynamite next week and say that to her face! Mone has answered a challenge with a challenge, will The Dark Peach oblige?

Backstage interview with Max Caster.
Renee is now with Platinum Max and brings up his series of open challenges. He is 0-2, is he starting to reconsider his strategy? No, Renee, he is not. The strategy isn’t the problem, it’s how “Hangperson” was chasing him around the arena. That’s not what the open challenge is about. It’s about going eye to eye with the Best Wrestler Alive! And look into his eyes. He’ll tell you this right now, the open challenge will continue this Saturday on Collision, and he expects whoever answers to look him in the eyes, shake his hand, and get beat! Because Caster will prove to him and everyone else that you can’t be better than the best.
Renee wishes Caster luck, Caster thanks her and shows off his certificate. But just who will answer when Caster puts out the call?
Ricochet is here!
And he’s still wearing the stolen robe that belongs to Prince Nana. Phoenix boos the One & Only, but he grabs the mic to say, “Really? That’s what we gonna do? That’s how we gonna act, huh? Y’know what? That’s okay, because I would be angry and bitter, too, if I had to live in Phoenix, Arizona. It’s basically a poor man’s Las Vegas.” The fans boo but Ricochet says lucky for him, he has a helicopter waiting to lift him outta here when he’s finished. Because much like Kevin Durant, Ricochet is trying to get outta this boring ass town ASAP! The fans boo more, but Ricochet says fine, “You do you.” Ricochet will do Ricochet.
Because since the fans are acting like ungrateful animals, Ricochet will speak directly to the people at home. He knows they can hear him loud and clear, huh? Yes you can! But he needs them to understand that all the fans, all the booing, it doesn’t matter! None if it does! Because when you boo a winner, you boo into a void of nothing, and baybeh, Ricochet is nothing but a winner! Ricochet proved it two weeks ago when he pinned Swerve to the mat, 1-2-3! But in reality, Ricochet has been proving it from the moment he stepped foot in AEW! Let’s be real, Ricochet has been whooping the asses of all the favorites!
Ricochet whooped Swerve’s ass, Ospreay’s ass, Darby Allin’s ass, Komander’s ass! The fans chant for Swerve’s House, but Ricochet says that everyone here and plenty of you at home will never understand is that winners always have something to show for it. And oh does Ricochet have something to show for all of his success! Ricochet models the Embassy’s robe, the fans boo more, but Ricochet says check this. He is not content to just wear this. No, he came to AEW to wear championships. Ricochet will not be just another name on the roster! Ricochet will be the main name on this roster! He came to win, and more importantly, he came to win gold.
Ricochet says that is where his sights are set for 2025. He wants to be a champion here in AEW! Oh, wait, wait, let’s correct that. Ricochet will be a champion in AEW, because he’s too good looking not to be. But wait! Swerve is here! Phoenix fires up as Nana walks out first, sips his coffee, then shakes his head. Ricochet looks around, surely the Realest is lurking. Nana gets in the ring first, though, and has his own mic. Nana tells Ricochet he knows what he’s thinking. But this isn’t that. Nana wanted to take this time to talk to Ricochet one on one, so Swerve isn’t here right now. Nana knows they’ve been beefing these last couple of months, and he isn’t sure where that is going.
But one thing that Nana does know is that Ricochet is wearing something that doesn’t belong to him. Three DECADES, Nana has been in this business. In the ring, outside the ring, closing major deals, making champions, and heck, making history! And that robe has a lot to do with it. That robe right there represents pride, represents integrity, and represents those that Nana has walked through, and that we’ve lost. But one thing about that robe is that anyone who is wearing it has honor. Anyone that wears it has been bestowed the opportunity to be great. And Nana never gave Ricochet that opportunity.
Ricochet, honestly, if you’re still that happy-go-lucky guy, that winner that he always says he is, that humane individual, then just give the robe back. The fans chant “GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK!” Ricochet says Nana wants the robe back, is that all? Yeah, okay, sure. Take it from him. Ricochet stares Nana down, but then he asks what’s wrong. Is Nana gonna cry? That’s okay, we all have emotions. Nana ain’t getting the robe back. AHA~! Ricochet leaves, and Nana shakes his head. Nana tried doing this with diplomacy, will he have no choice but to let Swerve do things his way?

The bell rings and the fans rally for “FRESHLY SQUEEZED! FRESHLY SQUEEZED!” Cassidy and Roddy circle, tie up, and Roddy waistlocks to SLAM Cassidy! Cassidy fights up, but Roddy wrangles him back to the mat. Cassidy fights back up, reaches out, and he SLAPS the hold apart! Cassidy drops, wheelbarrows, but Roddy half nelsons. Cassidy slips free, standing switches, and snapmares! Then he has Roddy for the photo op! Thumbs up, and then ghost pin! TWO! Roddy swings, Cassidy dodges, and Cassidy “CHOPS!” The fans lose their minds but Roddy asks, “Really?” Cassidy shrugs, then dodges Roddy’s back elbow!

Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (advances to the AEW International Championship match)
And with that, Dynamite is Freshly Squeezed! The Undisputed Kingdom heads out, Tony Schiavone steps in, and Schiavone says Cassidy is back and better than ever. It will be live from coast to coast when AEW is in San Diego, and Cassidy will go 1v1 with Takeshita for the title, winner going on to Revolution. If Cassidy wins, he’ll become the greatest International Champion in AEW history! But before Cassidy can speak, The Don Callis Family makes their way out here. Callis has a mic to say he has something important to say.
Mark Davis & Konosuke Takeshita flank Callis as he tells Cassidy, “I guess you’re gonna go tell everyone you’re the greatest International Champion of all time. But to me, you’re nothing but a red-headed hippy! You’re nothing but a loud mouth punk! GET HIM!” Callis sends Konosuke & Davis to go after Cassidy!

Konosuke CLUBS Cassidy, and brings him in for RAGING- STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Omega is up to V-TRIGGER! Cassidy adds an ORANGE PUNCH! The Don Callis Family regroups and retreats! Phoenix fires up for Omega & Orange as Omega holds up the belt, the fans like how that looks! But Cassidy looks at the belt, wanting to have it back. Who makes it through this Revolution International Championship Series as THE champion?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here to follow up the Australia specials and move things towards Revolution. Great promo segment to open with MJF and Hangman, and MJF has his “Heel making a good point” moment saying how the “forgiveness” is rather hypocritical. To be fair, Kevin Owens has made a similar argument recently, but it’s still valid in all of pro-wrestling where some Heels can never truly go Face. Anyway, good stuff to set up their match at Revolution, including that moment Hangman has with Daniels. And as I said last week, Hangman VS MJF should be seen as an unofficial #1 contender’s match, the winner aimed at the world title going towards AEW Dynasty in April.
Speaking of the world title, good stuff with Willow and Marina brawling again, leading into Moxley’s promo that then led into Cope & White getting after the Death Riders again. I really thought Cope was going to up the ante on the title match, but he instead implies he’s going to use the next two weeks, the next four AEW shows between Dynamite and Collision going into Revolution to have matches with Claudio, Yuta and Pac in whatever order, and take them off the board. I would think Jay White and even Willow are part of that, maybe even The Gunns as they rejoin White in the Bang Bang Gang, which could be some really good stuff that branches off into other matches.
Really good Trios match from Patriarchy VS Opps. The Opps have a good theme song, but maybe a little too chill. That aside, The Opps of course won and it was of course Nick Wayne taking the loss. I still think we should get Joe VS Christian, and then that’s a smokescreen where Christian loses only to come back and cash-in on the world title. It’s gotta happen, it’ll help shake things up, and again, how can we ignore a new Cope VS Christian feud? Very good promo from Toni Storm to leave it up in the air who her next feud is with, and pretty good promo segment with Mone and Momo to set up their feud. But now that Momo said TBS Championship, pretty sure Mone wins.
Toni did name drop Kris, and Kris Statlander has yet to challenge for the world title, so maybe she moves up after what we’re getting with her, Rosa, Ford & Bayne. Great match from Kris VS Megan, but I should’ve figured Ford would get involved to screw Kris over. And naturally, Ford would beat up Kris and that’d cue Rosa to make the save. But how did they botch that so badly? The irony is this was a botch where next to nothing happened when clearly something should have. It feels like someone between Ford and Megan forgot what they were to do, because the easy option would’ve been for them to slip out of the ring, but it just ended up awkward. The tag match will be good, and we can still do singles matches after, but this was a bad hiccup.
Jericho had a good promo to call out Bandido, and I didn’t think the ROH World Championship would be happening now. With that, there might be shenanigans that help Jericho win, which is a shame. Good promo from Cage & Archer to call out The Hurt Syndicate, and we’ll surely get a confrontation on Collision that then makes the tag title match for Revolution. That’s gonna be some big meaty men slapping meat there, much like tonight’s Street Fight. Though, AEW really needs to clarify how their rulebook works. Given the ten count, this was really a Last Man Standing match disguised as a Street Fight. But naming conventions aside, still great stuff, and Hobbs getting the win works so that he can move on, perhaps to a title match of his own.
Very good promo from Ricochet with Nana, and you can bet the robe will be the apparent prize in whatever rematch we get from Ricochet and Swerve. And knowing Swerve, he and Ricochet could have one killer No Disqualification style match. Good promo from Caster to play off his Open Challenge losses like they were for other reasons other than Caster isn’t the Best Wrestler Alive. And y’know what? They mentioned Gabe Kidd showing up for Collision, so why not two birds with one stone? Gabe should answer the challenge, beat the snot out of Caster, then call out just about anyone he wants, because he’s Gabe Kidd.
Very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom, but what a copout on The Conglomeration not really being a thing anymore. Did they not want to put in the time to do a quick promo where The Conglomeration disassembles? I did like how Cassidy hugged Kyle and felt awkward around Cole, though. But still a great main event from Cassidy VS Roddy, and Cassidy winning makes a lot of sense. For one, The Kingdom can still do a feud with The Death Riders over the trios and world titles, but also, Cassidy really did establish the International Championship. Good stuff with Don Callis Family going after Cassidy, then Omega making the save. It’s also a good tease of Omega VS Cassidy for the first time since Omega was world champion, but we’re definitely getting Omega VS Takeshita at Revolution.
My Score: 8.8/10
