Damien Priest VS Boa!
The Archer of Infamy takes aim at one of the Breakout superstars with his arrows of fire. But will Damien be in for a bigger fight than he expects from the big man from Beijing?
The bell rings and Damien smiles as he ties up and powers Boa to a corner. Damien lets off but Boa dodges the big haymaker. Boa and Damien tie up again and Damien shoves Boa off. But Boa stays standing, so Damien eggs him on. Boa kicks then runs but gets run over! Damien dares Boa to get up, and Boa does. Boa dares Damien to run now, but Damien just ROCKS him with a right! And then stomps away in the corner! The referee backs Damien off but Damien drags Boa up to whip. Boa kicks back, but Damien hits a jumping roundhouse! Damien jumps for a big back elbow onto Boa in the corner! And then he suplexes and TOSSES Boa for the Falcon Arrow! Boa writhes while Damien laughs.
Damien toys with Boa as fans rally up. Damien drags Boa up by his ear but the ref reprimands him. Damien keeps toying with Boa but Boa CHOPS back! Boa kicks, dodges, kicks and boots! Damien staggers into another kick! Boa runs side to side for a shotgun dropkick! Fans fire up with Boa, but Damien hits a DISCUS! Down goes Boa, and Damien waits for him to rise. Damien takes aim, CYCLONE KICK! But that’s not all, dragon sleeper, RECKONING! Cover, Damien wins!
Winner: Damien Priest, by pinfall
The Reckoning wrecks another superstar, and Boa has yet to have his own breakthrough. Will Boa be able to recover? Will the Archer of Infamy soon #LiveForever?
The Experience has received a Strong message.
To get the attention of The Velveteen Dream, the Savior of the Backbreaker set the beloved Velveteen Couch ablaze! Dream says that if Roderick Strong thinks Dream’s North American Championship reign is going to go up in flames, Strong is lying to himself. Strong wants to see if Dream is ready for a 1v1 experience. Dream quotes Hunger Games: If the Dream burns, Strong will burn with him. #DreamOver, but will the Purple Reign survive the fire? This match happens when NXT goes LIVE on USA Network!
Johnny Wrestling returns to Full Sail!
For the first time since the epic final showdown between him and Adam Cole, Johnny Gargano returns to NXT TV! Gargano makes sure to high-five as many fans as he can before going into the ring. Fans chant and cheer as Gargano takes up the mic, and Gargano soaks it all in. Eventually, Gargano has to tell the fans that he promised not to be very long out here. Fans calm down and Gargano begins.
“I asked if I could come out here to talk to you guys because I heard all the rumors, I read all the reports,” and everyone from Mama Gargano to that guy in the soccer jersey was asking what the future holds for Johnny. Fans beg, “Please Don’t Go!” But the last time Gargano was in the ring, he fell 20 feet in a steel cage through tables, but woke up to a standing ovation of “Thank You, Johnny!” Fans repeat that here now. But trust Gargano when he says that he appreciates it and thanks them. “There would be no Johnny Wrestling if it wasn’t for all you guys.” The fans helped Gargano build up NXT together. So Gargano says this with every bit of his heart: he absolutely loves everything about NXT! Gargano loves the fans giving their all for wrestlers like him and those in the back putting on THE BEST pro-wrestling show on the planet! Fans give an ovation for that gratitude.
Gargano has been here for a long time, has seen people come and go, but everyone has a say in their future. Gargano has made his choice. NXT has had his back since day one, so Gargano wanted to tell them personally that he is officially- being interrupted by Shane Thorne… The Worst takes his time walking out with a mic of his own as fans boo and jeer. “Of course, of course. Really, Johnny?” Is this necessary? Do we really need more Johnny Gargano? The fans continue to boo and jeer as Thorne walks down the ramp. Thorne says more time is being wasted on Gargano when he could’ve just Tweeted, but no no, Gargano has to be here for Full Sail. Thorne doesn’t care! Thorne gets it, though. Gargano is a pillar of NXT, he is #JohnnyTakeover! But Thorne wants to tell Gargano face to face: “This place is going to be just fine without you. In fact, with the right person finally in the spotlight, it’s going to be even better.” So Gargano should just take his bow and take a walk.
Thorne waits for Gargano to move, and Gargano does move. But Gargano says that Thorne is right. Gargano is NXT, and he’s not going anywhere! SUPERKICK takes out Thorne! Gargano stands over Thorne writes out #NXT4Life! Johnny Wrestling is far from done with the black and gold! But will he and Thorne make each other black and blue fighting over the spotlight in Full Sail?
The Forgotten Sons define “Savage.”
Savage: (Noun) Lacking the restraints normal to civilized human beings. Steve Cutler, Wesley Blake and Jaxson Ryker are the savages of NXT. They were cast out and tossed aside, but the whole world will witness their “vulgar display of savagery.” And the Forgotten Sons will be forgotten no more. But just what will they do to be immortalized in NXT forever?
Pete Dunne VS Angel Garza!
The Bruiserweight returns to action on NXT against another of the Breakout superstars! Will Dunne prove himself worthy of a title as NXT enters a new phase? Or will Garza Jr. have his breakout moment against the former WWE United Kingdom Champion?
Dunne isn’t sure what to make of Garza as he swaggers about, but the fans are dueling between them. Garza stays away from Dunne’s grip, and prepares to remove the tear away pants, but Dunne is after the foot! Garza rolls and gets Dunne’s leg, but then shifts to a waistlock. Dunne wrenches and lifts to then drop and tweak the arm! Dunne hammerlocks that arm to then go after the fingers of the other! Garza endures the joint torture, but then Dunne makes him a recliner. TWO, and Garza trips Dunne to twist the arms together! Garza sits on the arm pretzel but Dunne slips out to roll Garza up! TWO, and both men stand off. Fans cheer as the two tie up. Garza headlocks and Dunne powers out but things speed up. Garza rolls off Dunne’s back but things keep going, and Dunne hurdles to lariat Garza down! Then Dunne kicks out the arm!
Garza writhes but Dunne wrenches and bends the arm. Garza avoids the stomp! And asks for a bit of mercy. But Dunne grabs the fingers! Garza uses that to throw Dunne out, to pull off the pants! But then Dunne rocks Garza with a right! And slingshots out! Garza dodges and then pops Dunne up into a headstand, to SUPERKICK him down! Garza drags Dunne back up but he’s dead weight, so Garza leaves Dunne behind. A ring count begins and climbs, but Dunne is up at 4. Dunne slides in at 6 but Garza toys with him now. Garza kicks Dunne around then puts him in a corner. Garza CHOPS Dunne then turns him sideways on the ropes. The ref counts but Garza rams his knee in! Dunne falls to the mat but Garza drags him back up. Dunne wrings Garza into a buckle! Dunne then dodges to CHOP away on Garza! Dunne whips but Garza reverses. Dunne goes up and over to enziguri and German Suplex! Garza flops about, Dunne stomps his hands! Then a buzzsaw kick! Cover, TWO!
Dunne keeps his cool as fans continue to duel. Dunne drags Garza up and pump handles, but Garza slips out to shove. Garza spins Dunne, Dunne dodges but gets a dropkick on the return! Garza drags Dunne back up, says it’s over, and underhooks. But Dunne pops Garza right up for a powerbomb! Cover, TWO! Garza survives and is seeing how Dunne became the longest reigning champion in modern history. Dunne grabs Garza’s arms but Garza avoids the stomp to roll Dunne up! TWO, and Dunne gets to a corner. Dunne boots Garza away then hops up, but Garza trips him up! Garza shotguns Dunne low! Dunne falls and Garza covers, TWO!! Now Garza is seeing why it took so long to end Dunne’s reign. Both men are down and fans rally up.
Garza gets up first, and sits Dunne up to CHOP him back down. Garza gets cocky and Dunne grabs his arms to bring him in for fast and furious kicks! Garza breaks free and SUPERKICKS Dunne back down! Garza flops to the cover, TWO!! But Garza rains down furious rights! Garza drags Dunne up but Dunne reels him in for STOMPS! And then Dunne drags Garza around, for a BUZZSAW kick! Garza is out but Dunne doesn’t cover. Dunne drags Garza up for a kick and then a CHOP! Dunne runs in but Garza pops Dunne up for a kick of his own! Garza puts Dunne in the drop zone and climbs the ropes, to MOONSAULT! But into Dunne’s armbar!! Dunne has the fingers, and SNAPS! Garza TAPS, Dunne wins!
Winner: Pete Dunne, by submission
The Bruiserweight shrugs, as if beating a Breakout star was nothing much. But will this big win help Dunne head for a new title? And as Garza glares, is this a sign he’ll be even more motivated to make his familia proud?
The Street Profits took in the sights in New York City.
“So this is what fresh air smells like in Central Park.” This is where happiness and success converge. Madison Square Garden, Monday Night Raw, and the Profits are in the Big Apple! Historic! But… There is something missing. It doesn’t feel right without the NXT Tag Team Championships. That would’ve been something on a whole ‘nother level. But NXT goes live on USA Network, and what better way to make a statement than to take those tag titles back? That is a great idea. Magnifique! But before that, Montez and Dawkins handle their business at MSG. Wait how do they get there from here? Ford asks for directions. It’s that way. Okay, appreciate and God bless. So, do they jump? No wait, walk down. Will the Profits have gold again when NXT hits TV?
Cameron Grimes VS Raul Mendoza!
The #CountryConfident Breakout superstar is disappointed in himself for not winning the tournament for a shot at the NXT Championship. But he looks to refocus against an NXT veteran here tonight. Can Cameron Grimes find redemption as NXT is on the verge of its own breakout?
The bell rings and Mendoza gets Grimes in a wristlock. Grimes rolls and sweeps and covers, ONE! Mendoza gets the arm again and takes Grimes around in La Magistrol, but with some extra sauce! Cover, TWO! Mendoza goes back at the arm again, but Grimes pulls hair. Grimes whips Mendoza but things speed up. Mendoza slides then huricanranas, and Grimes flounders to a corner. Mendoza CHOPS Grimes then puts him in another corner, for another CHOP! Mendoza whips but Grimes reverses, only for Mendoza to slip outside. Grimes hits buckles, but he dropkicks Mendoza out of his slingshot! Grimes goes out to get Mendoza back in and whips him to ropes. Grimes clobbers Mendoza with a clothesline then covers, TWO! Grimes keeps on Mendoza with an armlock. Fans rally up and Mendoza puts Grimes in the corner.
Grimes keeps on the arm and has Mendoza back on the mat. Fans continue to rally as Mendoza continues to endure. Mendoza fights his way up and fights back to put Grimes in a corner. But Grimes throws Mendoza down by the arm, only for Mendoza to get up and hit back. Mendoza enziguris then dropkicks Grimes to a corner! Fans fire up, Mendoza runs in, another enziguri hits in the corner! Mendoza climbs, walks the ropes and missile dropkicks! Standing shooting star! Cover, TWO!! Grimes flounders and Mendoza has his leg. Grimes has the ropes but Mendoza goes for him, only to get that rubber band hotshot! Grimes boots but it is blocked! Mendoza fires off with forearms and kicks! Another enziguri rocks Grimes, and Mendoza runs in, only to be put on the apron. Mendoza kicks back, then climbs up again. Mendoza Phoenix Splash, but Grimes dodges! Grimes DOUBLE STOMPS! Cover, Grimes wins!
Winner: Cameron Grimes, by pinfall
The gritty Grimes guts it out to come up with the win! Will this be just the first victory on Grimes’ road to his own breakout?
Candice LeRae barges into William Regal’s office.
She calms down before making her request. She wants him, as NXT GM, to explain why he keeps rewarding Io Shirai. Io gets to be in the Women’s Championship #1 contender’s Triple Threat after attacking Candice and threatening others? Regal says he isn’t rewarding anyone for such behavior, but Candice just warns that Io might not make it to that match. Well Regal will change things to be fairer. The match will now be a Fatal 4 Way, with Candice as the fourth. Though, if Rhea Ripley wins tonight, that makes a case to escalate to a 5 Way. Candice is fine, so long as she gets her hands on Io. Will Mrs. Wrestling settle scores with the Evil Genius while also earning a golden opportunity?
Dakota Kai is coming back!
The captain of Team Kick has recovered from her injuries, and she’s ready to kick things up a notch! Can Kai make up for lost time as she returns to NXT?
Rhea Ripley VS Shayna Baszler!
This is historic! The Mosh Pit Kid and original NXT UK Women’s Champion is here to show that the Queen of Spades hasn’t seen anything yet! Will Rhea earn her way into the coming #1 Contender’s match by proving she can beat the NXT (USA) Women’s Champion? Or will Rhea simply be the next to #TapNapOrSnap?
The bell rings and fans are fired up for Rhea. Rhea and Shayna circle and tie up. They go around and Shayna gets the wristlock. Rhea gets the ropes and Shayna lets up. Shayna tries a cheap shot but Rhea sees it coming! Rhea blocks the sweep to give the sweep! Shayna is actually thrown off by Rhea matching her. They get up and go around again. Shayna waistlocks but Rhea pries her way out to an armlock. Shayna fights back up but Rhea shows her strength with a scoop! Shayna slips out and wants the Kirafuda! But Rhea denies that with a standing switch, so Shayna goes after the arm! Rhea scoops again and slams Shayna down! Fans cheer as Rhea stomps Shayna. Rhea clubs away on Shayna, but Shayna shoves her away. Rhea comes back with kicks and then rams her shoulder in. The ref counts and Rhea backs off to bring Shayna out.
Rhea clubs Shayna more, then taunts her as she suplexes. Shayna cradle counters, TWO! Rhea dropkicks Shayna! Fans cheer more as Rhea runs at Shayna. Shayna dodges and the boot gets caught up on the top rope! Shayna sweeps the leg and Rhea is stuck in the ropes! Shayna kicks Rhea out of her situation and covers, TWO! Shayna keeps on Rhea with a facelock, then has an inverted neck wrench. Fans rally up as Rhea endures. Rhea fights her way up and powers Shayna up and over for a back drop! Shayna dodges the dropkick and wants the Kirafuda again! Rhea fights it off and rams Shayna into buckles! Shayna climbs up for a hangman’s sleeper! The ref counts but Rhea fights out with big hands. Rhea dropkicks Shayna to the floor! Fans fire up as Rhea recovers in the ring.
Shayna stirs on the outside as a ring count begins. Rhea won’t let it end like that, and she goes out to fetch Shayna. Fans applaud that as Rhea drags Shayna up. Shayna fights back with a big forearm, but the gut wrench is denied! Electric Chair, facebuster on the steel steps! Fans are loving the brutality! Rhea puts Shayna in and steadies herself. Rhea goes in but here come the Horsewomen! Rhea wrecks Marina with a boot and Jessamyn stays back. But Shayna attacks with a knee! The ref reprimands the Horsewomen but they give Shayna a chair! Shayna doesn’t care about wins or losses now, she just wants to teach Rhea a lesson. But Rhea blocks the chair shot to GIVE a chair shot!
Winner: Shayna Baszler, by disqualification
Rhea is enraged but she will wreck whoever wants to come at her! She even takes a seat in the chair! With no spot in that contender’s match, will the Mosh Pit Kid have to take the long route to the title? Will Shayna still be the one holding that NXT Women’s Championship when Rhea comes back around?
#ShockTheSystem!
“Boys and girls, the Prophecy will finally be fulfilled!” And it’s not just that NXT goes live on USA Network, all thanks to these four boys right here. What Adam Cole means is that Roderick Strong will finally beat the velveteen Dream to become North American Champion. Dream dared someone to get his attention, and look what Strong did to do it. Strong hated that couch, and he hates Dream. Strong finally gets what is rightfully his, and the Undisputed Prophecy will finally be fulfilled. NXT is getting bigger, better, and badder, all thanks to the Era. No one on the “freakin’ planet” will be able to stop them after next week. That’s not a threat or a promise, it’s just Undisputed.
My Thoughts:
While there isn’t an NXT special coming, this episode was practically a go-home to the USA Network premiere. And it was a great “go-home” at that! We move fast as always, Damien VS Boa was a good opener, but naturally Damien wins. Depending on how things go with the Undisputed Prophecy and the titles, Damien could end up a contender once we’re in the new year and NXT has settled in to being a live show rather than tape delay. Garza and Cameron Grimes had much better showings for being the Breakout stars that got further. Garza loses to Pete Dunne because it’s Pete Dunne, but it was an amazing match and probably the better showing despite losing. Grimes wins to keep strong but Mendoza had a good showing, too. Grimes and Garza obviously both have a lot of promise in NXT, but will also be waiting in the wings until we see how this Undisputed Prophecy resolves.
Dream VS Strong for the North American Champion is a great and logical choice for the USA Network premiere. The promo the Undisputed Era gave at the end was really more an ad for between programs, but it works for them to have the last word before NXT makes the major move. It would make a lot of sense for Strong to win and fulfill the prophecy that night, because that gets you attention from the title change, and then we can move forward from there into WarGames III and #WinnersTakeAll. The Street Profits had a great little promo to stake a claim at a tag title rematch, and I’m sure they’ll factor into NXT Live’s first few episodes as the Undisputed Prophecy can still fall apart before 2019 is over. Great to hear Dakota Kai is coming back, and I feel like her returning to NXT rather than NXT UK is spurred on by the USA Network move to give just that much more for NXT to use for TV.
What I feared would come true is coming true. Shane Thorne is the next opponent for Johnny Gargano. Granted, Gargano is #NXT4Life since the brand is growing, so he doesn’t have to go somewhere else just because he’s become a big name in his own right, which would’ve made this a very poor send-off story. Now it’ll be about who is the face of NXT, separate from titles. I would think Gargano wins out to make up for losing to Cole in the end, but I’m sure The Worst will do his best to cheat Gargano out of some glory. Then it was a good move for Candice to take offense to Io Shirai being in the contender’s match instead of her. And it was a great move to make it a Fatal 4 Way so that Candice can have her way to the title. Regal teasing Rhea making things a Fatal 5 might’ve been a giveaway shenanigans were going to happen with Rhea VS Shayna, though that should’ve also been expected since Shayna has the Horsewomen.
Maybe this is how they keep Rhea on standby for WarGames, and let Mia Yim win to get her second chance. At the same time, Rhea barely had to change who she was to be Face by default against Shayna. Rhea could easily stay this way and be the default Heel against Mia Yim, but I have a feeling the pattern holds: Shayna faces someone a second time and still wins, to then move on to another challenger. At that point, Rhea might be ready to take her on again, and it is Rhea that makes history by dethroning Shayna.
My Score: 8.4/10

Toni Storm is here!
Milwaukee cheers as The Good Land is now TIMELESS! Toni goes right to the ring, puts her AEW Women’s World Championship belt right down on the mat, and has a mic to say, “Milwaukee, I love you.” The fans cheer that! Toni says please, enough of the banter! “Megan Bayne, get your oiled up, feathered ass out here right now!” No response, so Toni says fine. If Megan is too busy crushing watermelons and eating babies, then listen up! The spotlight drops on Toni as the fans chant her name. Toni says, “Last Wednesday, you were the better woman. I don’t know what happened, it all happened so fast. But before I knew it, I was flat on my back like you’d just bought me a steak dinner.
“I am embarrassed. I am hurt. And I’m ashamed. And the worst part is, you made it look so easy.” Toni rests on the mat beside her belt to say, “I went back to my hotel, and I turned off all the lights. And I laid there, going over the same scene in my head over and over and over again, wondering if this is what’s going to happen to me at Dynasty.” Fans say no, but Toni continues, “And then, when the sun came up, I was covered in sweat. Moreso than usual. But I got up, and I went into the bathroom and I took a piss. And then I stubbed my toe, then I whacked my head on the sink. And when I came to, I looked into the mirror, and I remembered exactly who I am!”
The fans cheer, and Toni rises up to say, “I am Timeless Toni Storm! And at Dynasty, I will be leaving with your tits in my purse!” Toni approaches the ropes for her close up, only to be CLOBBERED by Penelope Ford! The Superbad Girl grins, the fans boo, but Ford fires off hands on Toni! Ford whips, but Toni reverses to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ford ends up in a corner, Toni runs in, SWEET HIP MUSIC! The fans fire up as Toni stomps a mudhole into Ford! But then Megan CLOBBERS Toni! The fans boo as now the Megasus gets the drop on Toni! Megan fireman’s carries, FATE’S DESCENTÂ on the belt!
The fans boo even more as Megan sits Toni up, tells her to “BOW! DOWN!” then throws Toni down again! Megan stands over Toni, and with just EIGHT DAYS left, is there no such thing as “timeless” in AEW?
The Death Riders speak.
Claudio Castagnoli starts with German, and he says that while Dax Harwood will be the first victim of the Death Riders, this Wednesday is when the Swiss Cyborg does something for himself. Claudio calls out Adam Copeland to go 1v1 for what Cope did to him! And if Copeland thinks that was ruthless, Claudio knows he is losing his edge and is just trying to cope with it! Claudio will beat Cope to a pulp, but leave just enough of him alive to limp to Dynasty so he can team up with his “two little groupies,” and fail at another chance of becoming champion here in AEW.
Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder and says, “There are only three women I fear in this world: My mother, my sister, and my wife. Until I met Marina Shafir. On the day that she just snaps, I know I don’t wanna be the one who pissed her off. Part of me thinks maybe me and you, Swerve, we should just grab some popcorn, sit and watch these ladies tear each other apart. But you talked a really, really big game on Wednesday, and now you gotta back it up. Right now, that’s the job. Poor, sweet Willow.” Marina speaks up and warns Willow in Romanian, then in English she dares Willow to keep smiling once Marina’s ripped out her liver and shoved it down her throat!
Moxley & Claudio look at each other, Moxley with wide eyes and Claudio with a big smile. They head out with Marina, will there be no solving this Problem?
Jay White VS Kevin Knight!
The Switchblade has put his name in the hat for the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, knowing full well Will Ospreay and Hangman Adam Page will be in it, too. But will White be rolling towards the Owen Hart Cup opening round? Or will The Jet take him on quite the flight?
The bell rings and the fans rally. White and Knight circle, and Milwaukee is strongly behind the Switchblade. The two tie up, White waistlocks but Knight drop toeholds. Knight floats to a facelock, floats to a cover, but White slips through to headlock. Knight rolls free and the two stand off. The fans cheer, White and Knight reset, and they knuckle lock. White rolls, wrenches, and wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and then wrenches to WRING White! White rolls through and the fans cheer. White shakes out the arm while Knight brushes himself off.

And although this year, it won’t be yours in the Owen, there’s always next year. Because I’m pretty sure we’re going to see a lot more of Kevin Knight in AEW.” The fans cheer that! White says that was Knight’s cue to leave but guess Milwaukee thought otherwise. White says, “See you around.” They shake hands, and Knight takes off. When and where will The Jet fly back to AEW?
White says the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament will have the best of the best. And just like White does every time, he will show us that he is the MOST elite! Because he needs to win the Owen Hart Cup, because he needs to go on to All In: Texas, because he needs his shot at the AEW World Championship! The fans cheer that, and White says because he is the Last Rock ‘n’ Rolla, the man who singlehandedly sold out Madison Square Garden, King Switch! The Catalyst of Professional Wrestling! This is STILL his era! And at All In, White will show us it is STILL the Switchblade Era! White has issued his mission statement, but will it be mission accomplished by July?
AEW shares a tweet from Athena.
In response Mercedes Mone posting, “Milwaukee, say hello to your C E O,” The Fallen Goddess says, “Maybe I will say hi… TONIGHT!” Could the Forever ROH Women’s Champion be the one to face the TBS Champion tonight? We’ll have to see, after the break!
Mercedes Mone VS Robyn Renegade!
#FourBeltsMone held onto the TBS Championship after getting quite the fight from Billie Starkz. But her AEW Dynasty dance card is still open. Will Mone win herself a night off? Or will this Renegade make Mone work for her money?
The bell rings and Mone circles with Robyn. They tie up, go around, and Mone headlocks. Robyn powers out but Mone runs her over! Milwaukee is tourn, but things speed up. Mone steps on Robyn’s dropdown, then does her dance. Robyn runs up, Mone gets around to waistlock, but Robyn switches. They go to ropes, Mone bucks the O’Conner, but Robyn comes back with a sunset flip! TWO, and Robyn SHOTGUNS Mone down! Robyn does her own version of Mone’s dance, then drags Mone up. Mone stops a kick to KNEE Robyn away! Mone runs in at the corner, but Robyn dodges and KNEES Mone back!
Robyn runs side to side and BOOTS Mone! The fans are still torn as Robyn puts Mone up top. Robyn climbs up, but Mone shoves her down! Mone leaps, CROSSBODY! But Robyn rolls through! Robyn shows some power as she scoops Mone and pops her around, only for Mone to slip out! Mone gut wrenches Robyn to a CIPHER UTAKI! Cover, TWO! Robyn survives and Mone is a bit surprised. Robyn goes to a corner, Mone runs up, and Mone stops the boot to put Robyn in the ropes! Mone jumps up, but Robyn dodges the Stock Drop! Mone grabs at Robyn but Robyn KNEES Mone in the ropes! Robyn then goes up to STOMP Mone down!
The fans rally as Robyn shoves Mone down. Robyn climbs, the fans rally, and Robyn MOONSAULTS, but FLOPS as Mone moves! Mone drags herself up and climbs, to then METEORA! Cover, TWO! Robyn survives again but Mone is right on her! Goery Especial for the MONEY MAKER! And then STATEMENT MAKER! Robyn TAPS, Mone wins!
Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission
The CEO smiles as she puts this Renegade down and grabs up all her belts. Tony Schiavone joins Mone in the ring and congratulates her on another win. It seems like that the Money Train is running hotter than ever. But he understands she had something she wants to say, so the floor is hers. Mone says that’s right. The fans boo, Mone frowns, and she takes the mic from Schiavone. “I am the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And I came to AEW to win more gold. So I’m officially declaring myself in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s right! I’m planning on winning the Owen Cup.
“And then, the Money Train is gonna make her way to Texas to All In! And then, I’m going to become the AEW Women’s World Champion!” Fans are torn again but Schiavone says that tournament will have a lot of competition, including Billie Starkz, who- Mone stops Schiavone there. She doesn’t wanna hear about that stupid kid! Billie has a lot of heart, but not as much heart as Robyn! Give it up for Robyn! Way more heart than that stupid Billie. Who even trained Billie? They suck! You’re looking at the greatest women’s wrestler of all time! WAIT! Athena really IS here! The fans cheer as THE ROH Women’s World Champion is on AEW!
Athena goes to the ring, and she holds up her spinner belt while looking at Mone’s collection. The fans are all behind Athena and that annoys Mone. Mone puts her belts aside, to take a swing on Athena! Athena dodges and DECKS Mone! The fans cheer, Athena goes to the corner, and Robyn helps Mone up. Mone gets away, O-FACE for Robyn! Well, not the target Athena wanted, but Athena does look at Mone’s TBS Championship. Athena shouts, “This is MY show now!” Will Athena’s Forever Reign be the one to add more gold? Or has she just put herself on Mone’s gold colleting radar?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and it would seem there is unfortunate news. Aminata’s hand is wrapped up, she is unable to compete tonight. Taking her place in tonight’s main event is Billie Starkz. Given all this, how does- Serena Deeb walks in. Deeb smirks and says Aminata must know this was preventable, right? Deeb had the game plan, offered it to Aminata, and Aminata didn’t want to listen. Let’s look at history, Aminata. Every time Aminata listened, she won. Every time she didn’t, not only does she lose, she ends up injured. This is all choices. Everything they do is choices. And unfortunately, Aminata made the wrong choice.
Aminata admits, Deeb is right. Everything is about choices. And Aminata still choose not to listen to Deeb’s trash! Not listening to any of that. Okay, Queen, Deeb respects that. But deep down, Aminata knows Deeb is right. And if Aminata thinks there’s a slight chance that she knows that Deeb is right, well, Aminata will have some weeks at home to rest up. Here’s some reading material. Deeb shoves her playbook into Aminata’s hand, will Aminata do her homework?
“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS Top Flight w/ Leila Grey!
Speaking of learning, The Redwood & Bad Apple want to make The Learning Tree proud, and that means winning some championships to go along with Chris Jericho’s ROH World Title. Will Bill & Keith be one step closer to facing The Hurt Syndicate with tonight? Or will Darius & Dante Martin soar far above the trees to be next in line for gold?
The teams sort out and Bill starts against Darius. The fans rally, but Dante wants in! Darius tags Dante in, and now Keith says he wants in! Bill tags Keith, he and Dante tie up, and they go around. Keith puts Dante on ropes, Dante turns things around, but Dante lets off as the ref counts. The two go again, Keith arm-drags hard and has the armlock. Dante rolls and arm-drags free, then he DROPKICKS Keith down! The fans fire up, Dante A-LIST LARIATS! Tag to Darius, he snap suplexes Keith and tag sin Dante. Slingshot SENTON! The fans cheer, Dante brings Keith up but Keith shoves free!
Darius tags in, Top Flight gets Keith for the LARIAT STO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Darius stands Keith up to CHOP, then UPPERCUT! Darius whips corner to corner, Keith reverses, but Darius goes up and over. Darius rolls, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down! Keith brings Darius over, tag to Bill, and the fans boo as Bill & Keith mug Darius. Bill drags Darius up but Darius fires body shots! Bill CLUBS Darius down, then puts him in a corner. Bill CHOPS Darius, Darius sputters and the fans fire up. Bill stands Darius up, Darius fires more body shots, but Bill CHOPS again! Bill brings Darius over, tags in Keith, but Darius fires forearms and elbows!
Darius ROCKS Bill, goes up to BOOT, then TORNADO- NO, Bill puts Darius on the apron! Darius ROCKS Bill, but Keith BOOTS Darius! Keith goes out after Darius to CHOP him, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Keith stands Darius up, CLAWS his eyes, and then CHOPS him again! Darius staggers away, Keith storms after him, and then Keith puts Darius in the ring. Keith pushes Darius to a cover, TWO! Keith argues with the ref but the count is the count. Keith drops a knee on Darius’ face, then covers, TWO! Keith is getting annoyed, but he tells Dante to pipe down. Darius fires body shots and forearms, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down again. Keith brings Darius up to whip, but then sends him back the other way for an ELBOW! Bill applauds but he might be the only one. Keith steps on Darius’ face, then has a cocky cover, TWO!
Keith references Jericho but that doesn’t finish it, so Keith clamps on a CAMEL CLUTCH! Darius endures, even as Keith CLAWS his face! The ref reprimands, Keith stops, and Darius fights up. Darius pries at the hold, but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Bill BODY BLOWS Darius down! The fans are torn as Bill stalks Darius. Bill drags Darius back by a leg but the fans continue to rally for Top Flight. Keith runs in around the way, but Dante SUPERKICKS Keith first! Darius lunges forward, hot tag to Dante! The fans fire up as Dante springboards, but Bill gets under. Dante comes back, but Bill LARIATS him down! Bill grins and soaks up cheers and jeers. Bill runs in at Dante to SPLASH! Then he runs at Darius to SPLASH! Back to Dante for a BOOT! Darius dodges the lariat, but not the BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans are torn as Bill talks trash on Bobby Lashley!
Bill soaks up the cheers and jeers while Keith has Dante in the corner. Bill runs up, but Dante slips free! The SPLASH takes out Keith! Dante HURDLES Bill!? But no Darius, so Dante realizes he’s cornered. Bill storms up, Dante BOOTS him away, and Darius returns! Tag to Darius, and Dante runs up. Bill scoops, Dante slips free, and Dante BLASTS Keith while Darius HOTSHOTS Bill! Dante ENZIGIRIS, Darius GAMANGIRIS, and Dante SUPERKICKS! Bill staggers into the step-in COMPLETE SHOT! The fans fire up while Bill bails out, and Keith runs up! Darius gives Dante the alley-oop, then Dante helps Darius TORNADO DDT Keith!
Dante DIVES and takes out Bill! Darius scoops Keith, SHELL SHOCKE! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives, but Darius tags Dante! Dante goes up, but Bill anchors Dante! Darius WRECKS Bill with a dropkick! But Bill grabs Darius! Bill RAMS Darius into barriers! But Dante SUPER CANNONBALLS Bill! The fans are thunderous, Dante MAMBA SPLASHES, but onto knees! Keith RAMS Dante into a corner, clinches, and hits the EXPLODER! Tag to Bill, and Keith says get ’em! Bill SPLASHES Dante, then feeds him to Keith’s KNEE! Keith KNEES Darius off the apron! Bill hoists Dante up, SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Cover, Bill & Keith win!
Winners: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith, by pinfall
If that teamwork and victory doesn’t say they’re ready, that look on Bill’s face sure does. Will the Learning Tree do this to the Hurt Syndicate? Or will Lashley & Shelton just hurt people?
Wait, The Cru slithers in! They have the chain necklaces ready like last week! Leila spots them, but it’s AR FOX that jumps in! Fox stands with Top Flight and The Cru backs off. Action says that’s fine, they’ll let it go this time. But will The Sight to See & The Man of the Hour ground Top Flight one way or another?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.
Lexy Nair is with the Southampton Hayter and welcomes her back. Last time we saw her, she was victorious over Julia Hart, and now she’s in the main event of Collision. How does it feel to be back again? Hayter says it feels great. And if you know Hayter, you know she doesn’t like doing things by half measures. So being in the main event is just another Saturday night for her. But she will say she is very excited to be in the ring with a young whippersnapper like Billie Starkz. It really injects some energy into Hayter, it lights that fire. And Billie has a lot of fire herself, and Hayter likes that. Billie gets knocked down but she gets back up.
And Hayter while respects that about Billie, she doesn’t want Billie to confuse respect for mercy. If Billie steps to Hayter, Hayter will hit back and knock her on her ass. There’s no hesitation, no second chances. So if Hayter were Billie, she’d be smart. Or, find out the hard way. Your choice. Oh, and one more thing. Hayter noticed some girls are already putting in for the Owen Hart Tournament, so Hayter will do that, too. And it is very fitting that she returned at All In last year, because this year, she leaves All In the champion! Hayter is ready, how hard will she hit Billie on this Collision?
Adam Cole is here!
The Undisputed Kingdom follows him out, complete with “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” as the Panama City Playboy prepares for his NO TIME LIMIT AEW TNT Championship match at Dynasty. As such, here comes the champion, Daniel Garcia! Daddy Magic has Garcia’s back as he goes to the ring, and the fans cheer for all parties involved. Cole has the mic and wants Garcia to listen. Cole knows tensions are high, but he’ll make this crystal clear: Cole has all the respect in the world for Garcia. The past two matches they’ve had are two of the toughest matches Cole’s had in his AEW career.
When they saw Garcia is the future of AEW, Cole means that in his soul, and the fans sure believe that. That is because Garcia is a fighting champion. When Cole challenged Garcia for the TNT Championship, Cole could not get the job done. But neither did Garcia. And so as a fighting champion, that must make Garcia sick to his stomach. He must not be able to sleep at night knowing he didn’t and couldn’t put Cole away. And unless Garcia is a coward, he’d want to change that. Cole sure wants to change that. Cole doesn’t want things to end in a draw. This needs to end with one man proving that he is better than the other, and dammit, that man is Cole!
Cole knows, Garcia knows, the entire world knows, that Garcia and Cole need to finish this fight. The fans cheer, Garcia nods, and he tells Cole he appreciates the kind words. Garcia agrees with a lot of that. They’ve been in the ring almost two months straight. And as much fun as it has been testing his iron against one of the best, truly, Garcia is getting a little bit frustrated. It is eating Garcia alive that he couldn’t beat Cole. Matt Menard tells Garcia that he is THE TNT Champion. How many chances is Cole gonna get? Garcia doesn’t need to be talked into this. It is Cole’s job to defeat Garcia, and Cole couldn’t do it!
Menard says Garcia doesn’t have to go through with this. Garcia pats Menard on the shoulder and says yeah, he doesn’t have to do this. But he wants to! So then, they will run it back one last time, BAYBAY! Roddy shouts, “DANNYYY~! Hey, listen. I have all the respect in the world for you. And just like Adam said, you are the future. And I’m not just saying this because he’s my best friend, but he is one of the best pro-wrestlers on the planet. And as good as you are, you’re just not there yet, dude.” Menard says, “Not there yet?” Menard and Roddy argue, Kyle joins in, but Garcia tells them all that this is enough!
Enough noise, enough distractions! April 6th, Kyle won’t be out there, Roddy won’t be out there, and Menard won’t be out there. Menard is a bit taken aback, but Garcia says at Dynasty, there will be no one ringside, there will be no time limit, and it will be Cole VS Garcia for the TNT Championship, ONE LAST TIME, and there WILL be a winner, cuz you’re looking right at him! Garcia holds up the title, but will he still own that title when it’s all said and done? Or is Dynasty going to be Undisputed?
Athena & Billie Starkz regroup backstage.
The Fallen Goddess says, “Mercedes~! HAHA~! Is that it?” Billie says yeah, just about. Athena says that is so annoying. But what’s the expression? Poke a bear, it might bite you? Well here’s one better. Mercedes, if you’re gonna be a passive aggressive b*tch, you’re gonna get hit. How did you like the taste of the floor? Was it good for Mercedes? Cuz it was great for Athena. So use this as a learning lesson: Keep Athena’s name, and her Minion’s name, out of your damn mouth. But hey! Mone is in the business of collecting championships? OMG, she’s such an inspiration, Athena is gonna do the same thing.
So how about this? Let’s get to real business, not that Mone knows what that is. Athena declares to her Minions and to the AEW fans around the world. Your Forever ROH Champion, Fallen Goddess, American Joshi, Minion Overlord, and all those other things, is OFFICIALLY ENTERING the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s great, right? And Billie! Billie made this all come together, what a brilliant little schemer she’s becoming. Billie has her match tonight! The main event! Look at her! And against a former AEW Women’s World Champion, Jamie Hayter. Is she ready? Yeah, she’s ready! She’ll make Athena proud!
Athena is sure Billie will find a way to disappoint, but tonight, Athena will be watching very closely. Good luck. Billie gives a salute, and it seems no matter if it’s ROH or AEW, Athena keeps Billie under her thumb. Will the inaugural and former ROH Women’s World TV Champion prove she’s ready for the big time?
Dax Harwood VS Wheeler Yuta!
Rated FTR made the challenge for the AEW World Trios Championships, The Death Riders made the challenge for Rated FTR to survive. And while Claudio wants Cope’s head on Dynamite, this Collision will kick things off! Will Dax the Ax chop down the youngest member of Moxley’s crew? Or will The Decoder already figure Dax out?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. They tie up, break, then go again. They break again, fans chant “YUTA SUCKS!” and Dax smirks. Dax and Yuta circle, tie up, and Dax spins Yuta to wrench an arm. Yuta rolls, switches the wrench and has the wristlock. Dax rolls, spins, and he wrenches to then slip through and headlock fort the takeover! Dax pushes Yuta down to a cover, ONE, but Dax holds onto the headlock. Yuta powers Dax to a corner, the ref counts, and both men let go slowly. Yuta KNEES low! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Yuta CHOPS! Yuta talks trash, whips corner to corner, but Dax reverses.
Yuta comes back, but Dax scoops him to SLAM him! Yuta UP KICKS, then he scoops to SLAM! Dax UP KICKS, both men get up, and Dax headlocks for a takeover! Yuta headscissors, Dax kips free, and roles reverse as now Yuta headlocks for the takeover. Dax keeps his shoulders up, but Yuta grinds the hold. The fans rally for Dax, he fights up, and Dax powers up and out. Yuta runs Dax over, keeps on moving, then he ducks the boot! Dax scoops, Yuta slips free, and Yuta chicken wings! Dax drops down to trip Yuta up, and Dax steps through, only for Yuta to scramble to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Yuta UP KICKS!
Dax snarls as he stomps Yuta down! Dax puts Yuta in a corner to CHOP! Yuta staggers, but he CHOPS in return! Dax CHOPS Yuta off his feet!

Dax builds speed to slide, but Yuta ducks it! Yuta sends Dax into the barriers! The fans boo but Yuta then sends Dax into steel steps! Yuta snarls while Dax clutches his arm. There are fans chanting for Yuta?! Yuta puts Dax’s arm on the steps to STOMP it! Yuta then goes to a corner, pulls the covers off the crossbars, and he drags Dax through!
Yuta stands on Dax’s arm to dig it into the crossbar! The ref reprimands, then counts, but Yuta stops at 4, and he reminds the ref, “I have ’til FIVE!” The fans are torn as Yuta copies Danielson, then he drags Dax up to the very top. SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men are down and Milwaukee fires up as Collision goes picture in picture.
A standing count starts, but Yuta crawls over to Dax at 4 of 10. Cover, TWO! Yuta is annoyed but he drags Dax into a top wristlock. Yuta stands on the arm, then STOMPS it! Dax scrambles away to the corner, but Yuta goes out to grab the bad arm! Yuta SLAMS the arm into the POST! Dax scrambles away again, but Yuta stalks him. Dax CHOPS Yuta, but Yuta takes the bad arm! Yuta SLAMS the arm off the steps, then he flexes while soaking up cheers and jeers. Dax goes into the ring, Yuta goes up top, and Yuta MISSILE DROPKICKS! Yuta kips up, grins, and then takes a bow. Yuta STOMPS the bad arm again, and Dax goes to another corner.
Yuta storms up to CLUB Dax, then he wraps the bad arm around the ropes! The ref counts, Yuta stops at 4, and then he wrenches Dax into a snapmare. Yuta drops a knee on the elbow! Then Yuta clamps on a cording hold, only for Dax to fight up. Yuta wrenches, but Dax ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS Yuta, then JABS, JABS, JABS, before he DECKS Yuta! Yuta gets up but Dax DECKS him again! Dax LARIATS Yuta up and out, then hurries after him. Dax counter punches Yuta, runs up, but Yuta dodges! Dax runs into the POST! Yuta hurries to THROW Dax over the barriers! The ref reprimands Yuta while Collision returns to single picture.
Yuta returns to the ring, soaks up the heat, then goes back outside. Dax rises, Yuta ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS, Yuta ROCKS, then Dax ROCKS Yuta again and again! Dax DECKS Yuta, then hops up an dover the barrier. Dax reels Yuta in, but Yuta fights the driver! The bad arm also holds Dax back, and then Yuta BACKDROPS free! Yuta hears the ring count, and he puts Dax in at 6 of 10. Yuta storms in, but Dax has his leg! DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Yuta hobbles, Dax grabs the leg for a DRAGON SCREW! Dax drags Yuta to a corner, and now for some payback! Dax SLAMS Yuta’s leg into the POST! Yuta writhes, but Dax grabs the legs again!
Dax shouts out The Hitman with the HANGING FIGURE FOUR! Yuta shouts in pain, the ref reprimands and counts, but Dax lets go at 4. Dax storms in, Yuta wants mercy, but Dax just grabs the leg again. Dax steps through but Yuta BOOTS him into the POST! Yuta hobbles his way over as Dax goes to the apron. Yuta climbs up top, but Dax CLUBS a leg! Yuta sits on the corner, and Dax climbs up!

Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
Dax can’t believe it, but he just got suckered in! Yuta celebrates like he’s already won the title match, and Claudio is there to pat Yuta on the back. Will the Death Riders keep scoring as Claudio takes on Cope? Or can Rated FTR even things up before Dynasty? Dax argues with the ref, the ref says his decision stands. His count was the count, there’s nothing to it. But then Dax gets in the ref’s face?!? Security rushes in there, but Dax fights them!? They hold Dax down, but Cash YANKS them all off him! But then Dax SHOVES Cash?! Dax realizes what he did and he apologizes. Cash is stunned, but just what is going on with Dax’s emotional state?
Dax offers a hand, Cash slaps it away to get in Dax’s face! Dax says he’s sorry, it was a mistake, but then Cash storms off. Well, guess you can’t spell frustration without F T R. Will they be able to sort this out before arriving in Philadelphia?
Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.
Alicia Atout is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & Mother Shayna, and notes that just like last week, they’re here without any sign of Christian Cage. Just what is going on with The Patriarchy? But before anyone can speak up, The Cru barges in. Lio Rush asks Nick, “What’s up with your boy, Fox, man?” Nick says, “Huh?” Lio repeats himself, what’s up with his boy? Uh, his boy? Fox is far from Nick’s boy. Really? They know they’re history together. Didn’t Fox try to end Nick’s career? So Nick is just gonna chill back here while Fox is out there still breathing? Nick says okay, he gets what they’re up to here. Oh, really? And what’s that?
What The Cru is really doing is asking Nick for help, simply because they can’t get the job done. Oh, is that so? Nick doesn’t blame them for asking him. But Nick’s done with Fox, that is well in the past. Well Nick’s past is creeping up on their present, so for them, that’s an issue. Oh, is that really an issue? Kip has Nick calm down. These “gentlemen” surely didn’t come and interrupt them without a reason, so The Patriarchy should hear them out. AKA, get to the point. Lio says this is all they’re saying. Three of them, two of The Cru. But when the time is right, nobody knows Fox better than Nick Wayne. Just think on it.
The Cru heads out, but will The Patriarchy’s Prodigy take them up on the offer to team up?
Holo.grm VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!
The futuristic luchador’s undefeated streak continues, even as he joins Komander as a Titan of the Air. But while Hologram & Komander have settled things with La Faccion Ingobernable, this battle is about the Revolution Zero Hour last month. Will the Vanilla Babyface avenge that loss? Or will he just be number 22 on Hologram’s win streak?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Hologram and Blake circle, approach, and then Blake slips past Hologram to strut. Blake then pie faces Hologram, talks some smack, and things speed up. Hologram RANAS, then hurdles, rolls, and pops Blake up. Blake RANAS back, then kips up! Blake runs up, but Hologram goes up and over. They both handspring, and Blake shadows Hologram. Blake chest bumps Hologram, then wheelbarrows, but Hologram rolls through to then step over, bridge back, but Blake turns that around on Hologram! Hologram keeps Blake away with boots, then rolls him up, ONE! DROPKICKS cancel out, both men kip up, and the fans fire up!
Blake mockingly applauds, but the fans rally behind Hologram. Blake offers a handshake, but then he SLAPS Hologram! The fans boo, Blake talks trash, and then Blake whips. Hologram handsprings, rolls, and SOBATS, KICKS, and CHOPS! The fans fire up as Blake flops back! Hologram builds speed, but Blake is up! Blake TOSSES Hologram out, then he builds speed.

Blake avoids the leap, Hologram comes back, but Blake sends him into steel steps!
The fans boo while Hologram is down, but Collision goes to picture in picture.
Lee applauds Blake and Blake rolls into the ring. Blake distracts the ref so that Lee can stomp away on Hologram! Big Shotty gets away with that, and Blake waits on Hologram. Hologram rises, Blake builds speed, FOSBURY TOPE! Blake offers high-fives to the fans, but he leaves them all hanging. Blake drags Hologram up, puts him in the ring, then he stomps Hologram. Blake brings Hologram up, and he pulls at the mask! The ref reprimands, but Hologram KICKS Blake from below! Blake storms up to stomp Hologram again! Blake drags Hologram onto the ropes, CHOKES him, but stops as the ref counts.
Blake runs to STRADDLE ATTACK Hologram! Blake drags Hologram back up but Collision goes to break.

But Hologram flips through, reels Blake in, NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Things speed up, and Hologram SHOTGUNS Blake first! Blake bails out, the fans fire up, and Hologram builds speed to DIVE! Lee takes the hit for Blake! The fans fire up, Hologram hurries to find Blake, but Blake kicks low! Blake drags Hologram up onto the barriers?! But Hologram fires body shots! And he RANAS Blake to the floor! Blake narrowly avoids hitting the steel steps and the fans fire up!
Hologram high-fives the front row, then stalks after Blake. Hologram goes up the steel steps, Lee storms up but Hologram mule kicks him! Blake jumps up to SPANISH FLY to the floor! Blake puts Hologram in, then springboards for a 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Hologram survives and Blake is frustrated! Blake slaps Hologram around, eggs him on, and then puts some stank on the- HEEL KICK from Hologram! Hologram fires up, he blocks Blake’s kick, but Blake SUPERKICKS from the other side! Blake whips, Hologram reverses, Blake rolls off the back, and he shoves Hologram to then SNAP POWERSLAM!
Blake somersaults to go to the ropes, LIONSAULT, but he has to bail out! Blake keeps running, Hologram gets him for a SPANISH FLY! Hologram fires up, torture racks Blake, but Blake slips free! Blake SWATS a lariat, ELBOWS Hologram, BODY BLOWS and BACKHANDS! SLING-DOG! Blake fires up, the fans boo, but Blake handsprings, into the torture rack! Airplane spin and PORTAL BOMB!! Cover, HOLOGRAM WINS!
Winner: Hologram, by pinfall
Vanilla Babyface was spicy, but Hologram comes out hotter! Will this 22-0 streak show Hologram is ready for a golden opportunity?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Kris Statlander.
Lexy is now with La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest as she says we can officially announce they are also entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Kris says that last year, she was a completely different person in a much different place. But she still had the same goals as she does today. “To every woman in this tournament, and to every woman in the locker room, you can’t stop Stat!” Rosa says, “Unless you face me.” Much respect to Kris, but like Rosa told Toni Storm, Rosa never lost the AEW Women’s World Championship, and she’s yet to wear one since. So believe her when she says this: She will scratch and claw harder than ever to have the Cup above her head.
Kris says, “Unless you face me.” Rosa says okay, mamacita. See you in the Owen. They each wish the other luck, and then head out. Will La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest battle to prove who is TRULY the best of the best?
Jamie Hayter VS Billie Starkz!
Hayter was preparing for Aminata, but it would seem Aminata’s loss to Hart has also lost her some time in the ring. But Billie is ready to step up to prove herself worthy of AEW’s bright lights! Will this be the start of Starkz’s legacy? Or will Hayter Hit Hard enough to be the number one seed in the Owen Hart Cup?
The bell rings and Billie circles with Hayter. Milwaukee cheers on Billie and Hayter encourages it. The two then tie up, and Hayter powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts, Hayter lets off with a pat on the shoulder, and Billie frowns. The two reset, tie up again, and Hayter again powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts again, and Hayter lets off with another pat on the shoulder. Billie frowns again, but the fans duel, “Let’s Go, Jamie!” “Billie Starkz!” They tie up, Hayter headlocks, and she grinds Billie down. Billie powers up and out, but Hayter runs Billie over! Things keep moving and Hayter runs Billie over again!
Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, but Billie is right up to stare Hayter down. The fans cheer, but Hayter pie faces Billie! Billie ROCKS Hayter! Billie whips, then follows, and she sunset flips over, TWO! Hayter gets up, Billie BUZZSAWS her down! The fans rally up, Billie whips Hayter but Hayter reverses. Hayter runs up, but into an ELBOW! Hayter comes back, but into a BOOT! Hayter is annoyed, she blocks boots this time but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Billie goes up, up, but Hayter TOSSES Billie down! Billie writhes, rises, and Hayter is up the corner to MISSILE DROPKICK! Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hayter stalks Billie, stomps her down, then stands on her! Billie endures until Hayter steps off, and then Hayter puts Billie on the ropes. Hayter CHOKES Billie, the ref counts, and Hayter steps off at 4. Hayter “apologizes” before she stalks Billie. Hayter drags Billie up, DDTS her by the ropes, then puts her back on the ropes. Hayter KNEE DROPS on Billie’s back, then KNEE DROPS again! And again! The ref reprimands but Hayter backs off. Hayter fires up the fans, then she goes back to kneel on Billie’s neck! The ref reprimands and counts, that’s not a cover! Hayter backs off, “apologizes” again, then has Billie in a corner.
Hayter smacks Billie off buckles, then runs her corner to corner to smack her off more buckles! Then Hayter goes to a third corner for buckle bumps! Hayter says let’s finish the set, and she runs Billie corner to corner for a buckle bump! Billie falls back, Hayter dusts her hands off, and then brings Billie up. But Billie WRINGS Hayter’s arm!

Hayter stays in this and Billie is seeing what it is to be a former world champion.

Billie tries again, but Hayter blocks it to a cording hold! Hayter brings Billie along as she goes to the ropes, SPRINGBOARD HAYTERADE!!! Cover, HAYTER WINS!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
Now that was a Collision! Hayter is back, and she finds a new way to hit hard! Athena walks out on stage, and she waves hi to Hayter. Whether Billie impressed her or disappointed her, Athena now has her eyes on Hayter and everyone else in the Owen Hart Cup. Will the Fallen Goddess learn for herself that Hayter Hits Hard? Or will the Owen Hart Cup join the Athena World Domination Tour soon enough?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, talky as usual, but very good build towards Dynasty and the Owen Hart Cup simultaneously. Great opening promo from Toni, because she’s always great at promos, but they did a great job framing Ford’s blindside attack on Toni. And while Toni takes down Ford, Megan of course gets the last say on Toni. Toni is the underdog champion, knows she is, but knows she won’t let that stop her, and surely she comes out on top at Dynasty. Good promo from The Death Riders to hype up Dynamite. Claudio was very clever in using “Edge” and “Cope” in his part, and he will have a great match against Cope, but I would think Cope wins.
Marina had a great part calling out Willow, and that Mixed Tornado Tag will be awesome stuff. Dax VS Yuta was great, too, and real good win for Yuta. Dax losing his cool further waters the seed that is an FTR Heel Turn, but if this keeps up between Dax and Cash, could we end up with FTR VS FTR? That’d be rather wild, but it’d also make sense since FTR at some point said they were drawing closer to the end of their careers. A tag team like them, that has already done so much, having a 1v1 against each other is kinda the last thing to check off their bucket lists.
Great tag match from Bill & Keith VS Top Flight, one of the best Top Flight’s had in a minute since they’ve been going back and forth between AEW and ROH, but I figured Bill & Keith would win. They want their shot at The Hurt Syndicate, this gets them a step closer to that, and Top Flight still has The Cru after them anyway. I’m just not sure The Cru asking Nick Wayne to help out against Top Flight & AR Fox is the kind of story continuity they should be using right about now… Nick’s busy with this story against Christian Cage, he should focus on that. Unless the point is, if Patriarchy falls apart, Nick needs somewhere to go and someone to hand out with. But then The Cru is just three- Gasp! Cru-serweights…!
Great promo segment from Cole, Garcia and their friends, but uh, the announcement came in right as this segment started, so for us at home, it completely undercut how Garcia and Cole were building to making the No Time Limit title match. This is all still the right move, and Garcia telling Menard to stay away from ringside was a wild twist. Cole VS Garcia could be a borderline show stealer given how great their 20 minute draw was last time. And I still think that Cole should win the title, just so he finally has something in AEW aside from the tag title run alongside MJF. As for Garcia, losing the TNT title could be his opportunity to move on to another title, like the International or Continental Championship.
Hologram VS Blake was a rather random match to put on, but whatever, still great stuff. I wonder who finally pins/submits Hologram to end his win streak. It’d have to be someone that fans already have strong feelings for, good or bad. Like, Ospreay could get away being the guy that beats Hologram because it’s Ospreay. At the same time, MJF or Jericho could beat Hologram because not only do they have the power level, but fans love to hate them anyway so they’d love to hate MJF or Jericho as the guy who ended the streak.
And great stuff with the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, but also a build between Mercedes Mone and Athena. Mone of course beat Robyn Renegade, but she of course also had to talk trash on Billie & Athena. Athena finally being on AEW TV is great in itself, and she had a good promo with Billie to touch on the love-hate relationship between Minion Overlord and Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths that we’ve seen the past two years on ROH. Aminata going down with injury is a shame, and her promo with Deeb could’ve been a bit sharper on both ends. But Deeb naturally puts it on Aminata that Aminata needs to either join her or wrestle her, and I’m thinking we get the latter.
Good promo from Rosa and Statlander to not only add them to the Owen Hart Cup but to tease their match-up. Hayter VS Billie was a great main event, and it was another great showing for Billie in the loss. Athena confronting Hayter was also good stuff, and both Owen Hart Cups are looking to be the most star-studded ones yet. But as it stands, I’m thinking Rosa wins to get that world title match she has yet to get, and then we get Mone VS Athena for the TBS Championship, as teased tonight. All In: Texas will basically give both Rosa and Athena homefield advantage, and it’d be pretty wild if both of them won titles then.
My Score: 8.8/10
