AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament Quarterfinals: SoCal Uncensored VS Best Friends!
Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian represent “The Pride of the West, SCU!” against Trent Baretta and Chuckie T in this opening round match-up! Will Best Friends be able to get over an Addiction to face The Dark Order?
But wait! The Lucha Brothers, Pentagon and Fenix, attack first! They had their confrontation that turned physical last week, but it seems there is no mercy to go along with Cero Miedo! Fenix even rams Kaz into a cameraman! And then a post! Pentagon has Daniels on the ramp, and Fenix brings Kaz over to join him. CERO MIEDO! PACKAGE PILEDRIVER! Daniels gets steel! Fenix has Kaz, but here comes Scorpio Sky to save his friends! The Lucha Brothers retreat, and Scorpio asks for medical help for SCU. The ref says it is a no go, Daniels is not in good shape. The medics help Daniels onto the back board and strap him in as fans are concerned. Even the Young Bucks and Cima come out, concerned for their long time rivals and friends.
The medics get Daniels up off the ground, but there is no way The Addiction can represent. Well, Scorpio is still SCU, can he sub in? Yes, he can! Scorpio will have to get ready quick, but can he focus on this match after what just happened?
The teams sort out, but even Chuckie T and Trent are feeling uneasy about what Pentagon and Fenix did to Daniels. Even so, the Kentucky Gentleman starts against Kaz with the bell. Kaz fires off fast hands on Chuckie and puts him in a corner. Kaz whips corner to corner but Chuckie T goes up and over to forearm back. Chuckie T whips Kaz hard into buckles, then tags in Trent. Chuckie hits Scorpio and Trent whips Kaz into the scoop. LONG DART CUTTER! Cover, TWO! Best Friends keep going, Chuckie hits Awful Waffle and Trent adds a basement knee! Cover, but Scorpio breaks it in time! Chuckie stomps Scorpio for it, and so does Trent. Trent deadlift German Suplexes Scorpio! Chuckie takes Scorpio’s shoe off to throw it away! And then he bites Scorpio’s toes?! So much for being a gentleman.
Chuckie and Trent bail out and Trent rams Kaz into the apron. Chuckie throws Kaz into railing, and then Trent rams Kaz into the apron. Chuckie throws Kaz into barriers again, but Scorpio hurries over. Best Friends mug Scorpio, then Chuckie hops up onto the apron to dumdum stomp Scorpio on the back. Chuckie doesn’t slow down, he forearm smashes Kaz against barriers, then whips him into Trent’s SPEAR! Fans are fired up as the Best Friends high five. Trent and Chuckie put Kaz in the ring as fans cheer. Trent clubs Kaz and forearms him to the corner. Trent chops Kaz, then hoists him up top. Trent climbs up to join Kaz, but Kaz resists. Kaz throws hands and then headbutts. Trent and Chuckie are both wobbly, but Chuckie helps Trent get up with an Electric Chair. ELECTRIC SUPERPLEX! Trent covers Kaz, TWO!!
Scorpio is back on the apron, even with one shoe. He watches as Kaz crawls. “This is Awesome!” already as Trent puts Kaz back in Best Friends territory. Trent trash talks Scorpio before hitting a forearm smash and giving Kaz a CHOP! Kaz elbows back then fights. He goes up and over and hot tags Scorpio! Scorpio rallies on Best Friends, and dropkicks Trent down! He boots then whips Chuckie but Chuckie reverses, only for Scorpio to double stomp him back! Scorpio clotheslines Trent out and has Chuckie in the corner. Fans cheer, “He’s Got One Shoe!” as Scorpio slingshots, but Chuckie knocks him out of the air with a haymaker! Chuckie builds up speed and FLIES, but onto Trent! Scorpio uses Best Friends against each other! Kaz slingshots to huricanrana Chuckie down! Scorpio takes aim as fans rally with “SCU! SCU!” Scorpio, one shoe and all, FLIES! Direct hit takes out both Best Friends! Scorpio takes off his second shoe on his own! And Philly loves it! The shoe returns!?
Trent gets in, Scorpio has him, and Kaz runs in. Scorpio gives Kaz a boost to tornado DDT Trent! Cover, TWO!! SCU is shocked but Best Friends still live! Fans now chant, “He’s Got NO Shoes!” as Scorpio drags Trent up. Scorpio whips corner to corner, Trent tumbles up then down the buckles, into a leaping uppercut! Tag to Kaz, and SCU drags Trent up. Kaz scoops and slams, then springboards for the leg drop! Cover, TWO! Kaz catches his breath, then brings Trent back up. Kaz whips but Trent holds ropes. Kaz throws haymakers but Chuckie tags in. Kaz whips, Trent slips around for a half nelson, Chuckie feeds Kaz Sole Food into Trent’s Half ‘n’ Half! Scorpio reaches, but he instead intercepts the hug! Scorpio throws haymakers on Trent, then whips him at Chuckie. Trent reverses and Chuckie gives Scorpio a big knee! Trent hits the Psycho Knee! NOW Best Friends hug!
Best Friends have Kaz, Electric Chair and a tag. Trent climbs up top, Best Friends Doomsday knee! Cover, TWO!! Kaz lives and fans are just as surprised as Best Friends! But Chuckie tags Trent back in, and Trent goes after Kaz on the apron. He brings Kaz up, but Kaz resists for dear life! Scorpio saves Kaz a moment, but Chuckie goes after Scorpio. Chuckie whips but Scorpio reverses, Chuckie is sent into railing! Kaz fights Trent off, and back drops him on the apron! That took a lot out of Kaz’s back, but he still gets Trent back in. Fans rally, Scorpio tags in, and SCU coordinates. Powerbomb, and dropkick! Cover, SCU wins!!
Winner: SoCal Uncensored, Scorpio Sky pinning; advances to the semifinals
It wasn’t a pretty win, but there could only be so much style and finesse after that ambush from Lucha Brothers. Will SCU make it through The Dark Order for revenge on Pentagon and Fenix? Will Pentagon and Fenix even make it through their match tonight? And what of Daniels’ condition? Will the Fallen Angel be able to return to the ring?
The Inner Circle is on the move.
Ortiz and Santana walk the halls, a pair of Boricuan bad boys looking for any trouble that might come their way. They go past the interview space without incident, but will they be looking to create one before the night’s over?
The Inner Circle VS Alex Reynolds & John Silver!
Well here’s some of that trouble waiting to happen. Will Reynolds and Silver make Philadelphia proud? Or will “The Beaver Boys” simply be the newest names on the lift of those Ortiz and Santana have beaten down?
The teams sort out, and we begin with Silver and Santana. They circle and back off, but then Silver rushes Santana. Santana dodges to BOOT Reynolds! But Silver throws a roundhouse! It barely budges Santana, despite Silver double gunning. Santana enziguris Silver down with ease! Santana drags Silver up to whip him into the corner, and hit a big back elbow! Tag to Ortiz, and #ProundAndPowerful pop Silver up for a powerbomb, into a Penalty Kick! Santana wrecks Reynolds with a dropkick, and Philly is fired up! Ortiz puts Silver in a corner for a mudhole stomp and a boot wash. Santana throws Reynolds into railing while Ortiz bites the ropes like a mad dog. Ortiz returns to Silver and has the ref hold his gloves. Ortiz claws Silver’s back, then shows his claws to the crowd. The fans like that as Santana climbs up. Ortiz brings Silver up, Street Sweeper! The blockbuster bomb hits! Cover, Inner Circle wins!
Winners: The Inner Circle, Ortiz pinning
A truly impressive win for the Inner Circle’s #ProudAndPowerful tag team! Will they sweep up whoever comes out of the tag title tournament to take those belts for their own?
Chris Jericho congratulates his team via titantron!
“Santana and Ortiz did exactly what I said they would: dominate!” Le Champeon knows champions when he sees them. So not only are Ortiz and Santana ready to “beat the hell” out of AEW, they’re pitbulls amongst pitbulls! They asked Jericho to tell us, they want after THE top tag team in AEW. They want to beat up Nick and Matt Jackson! Full Gear, the Young Bucks VS Ortiz & Santana, two of the most incredible tag teams today! Jericho vows that the Bucks have never been in a fight like this before. Do they accept Le Champeon’s challenge? If they do, they’re going to get their asses kicked.
The Rhodes Family is home, but Cody’s mind is somewhere else.
Despite all the business, all the press, and all the details the AEW First Couple has to deal with, Cody can’t seem to focus. He heads out in his truck to clear his air. Brandi knows he is “the single most passionate person” she’s ever known. As soon as he wanted after Jericho for the title, she knew she’d “lose” him for this next period of time. Diamond Dallas Page knows Cody was as driven as a kid as he is right now. Mama Michelle knows Cody pushed himself in every way he could. Maxwell Jacob Friedman, as Cody’s best friend, knows that while Cody is the face of AEW, he is not the champion of AEW, and that eats away at him. Cody wants to prove that him leaving all those other places was not mistake.
Jim Ross knows that while Jericho only has to worry about his match with Cody, Cody will have already gone through an entire day of meetings beforehand. The question of focus is certainly in Jericho’s advantage. Ms. Michelle knows the legacy of Dusty Rhodes casts a large shadow, but she knows Cody has gotten out from under that to make his own path. Tony Schiavone knows Cody is focused on Jericho just as much as everything else. DDP knows Cody has done a lot of “unprecedented” things in pro-wrestling, but in the words of Cody’s own father, “There’th only one thing real in thith buthineth, and that’th that firsth world champthip title.” Cody wants his first, and until he gets it, “there’s always something missing.” Cody trains hard, works hard, and MJF knows this coming match means everything to him.
Cody not only has the Rhodes Family legacy and the AEW business to carry, but he is himself a great wrestler, and wants to show that to everyone. He has this title shot for that reason, and JR knows Cody will be the American Nightmare. MJF knows a legend will be born. Ms. Michelle knows winning that world title will be the “pinnacle” of Cody’s career. Brandi knows Cody needs this, and won’t rest until he’s beaten Chris Jericho. Will Cody be able to finally vindicate himself at Full Gear?
AEW Women’s World Championship: Riho VS Britt Baker!
The Doctor is in, and she wants to make the wrestling idol’s reign historically short! The inaugural champion fought so hard against Nyla Rose, she surely won’t let Britt win so easily. Will history be made with a defense or a title change here tonight?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and Riho’s first defense begins!
Philly is strongly behind Riho with the bell, and Riho circles with Britt. They tie up, Britt powers Riho back to the ropes, but lets up clean. Riho and Britt circle again, and then tie up. Britt arm-drags Riho fast, but lets Riho get up. Riho is getting upset, but she runs into another arm-drag. Fans duel as the two tie up again. Britt full nelsons then snapmares but Riho handsprings through. They speed up, Riho waistlocks, full nelsons then arm-drags Britt back! But Britt holds on, to reel Riho into a cover, but Riho scrambles to ropes before a count can be made. The two separate and start again.
Riho and Britt tie up, Britt headlocks and brings Riho down, to the Rings of Saturn! And as we’ve seen before, Britt wants her new “Lockjaw” submission! Riho knows it, too, and scrambles to get another ropebreak! Britt lets up fast, and Riho gets to the apron. Both women nod, knowing how close that was. Britt runs in but gets forearms, and Riho shoulders in. Britt forearms back and then brings Riho over. Riho blocks the buckle bump to hit back, then climb. Britt stops Riho then climbs up to join her, but Riho resists the superplex. Britt clubs Riho but Riho hits back. Riho sends Britt away, then leaps, crossbody! But roll through, TWO with the Matrix! Riho dropkicks Britt down! Fans are fired up as Riho scoops, but Britt blocks. Britt and Riho fight for control, and Britt throws forearms. Britt scoops but Riho slips out to waistlock. Britt elbows out hard, then runs into a wheelbarrow victory roll, for double STOMPS!
Philly is still fired up as Riho and Britt get to opposite corners. Riho runs corner to corner, big knee strike! Riho goes to suplex but Britt blocks. Riho tries again and manages the snap suplex! She sits Britt in the drop zone and climbs up top. Riho aims, leaps, but has to roll through as Britt dodges. Britt gets Riho with a SLINGBLADE! Britt drags Riho up, fireman’s carry, but Riho slips out again. Riho waistlocks, but Britt resists, so Riho traps both arms, spins Britt around and rocks her with a right hand! Britt still fireman’s carries, to a TKO neckbreaker! Riho clutches her face, Britt shotgun dropkicks Riho down! Cover, TWO!! Riho lives and Britt is growing frustrated. Britt gets up while Riho crawls. Riho ducks the boot to roll Britt, TWO! Riho rolls Britt for a leg capture, TWO! Riho keeps trying, but that cradle is blocked for a fisherman swinging neckbreaker!

Britt endures, grits her teeth, and crawls for ropes, but Riho drags her away! Riho makes it part heel hook but Britt still gets the ropebrek! Riho is up fast, DOUBLE STOMPS to the back! Cover, TWO!?

Riho hits buckles, Britt ripcords for a rolling elbow! Riho flops down but Britt brings her back up. Wrench and hook, PAGE TURNER! To the LOCKJAW!! Riho resists the mandible claw portion, but it finds it’s way in! But Riho rolls it over to a cover!! RIHO WINS!!
Winner: Riho, by pinfall;Â still AEW Women’s World Champion
Incredible! Riho snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, almost literally! Britt herself is rather shocked, but she has to respect Riho found a way to counter her new move. The two still shake hands, showing respect. Will Britt find her way to another shot? Will Riho be able to keep this reign going in the meantime?
INJURY UPDATE on Christopher Daniels.
Despite that package piledriver to the steel ramp, Daniels only suffered a stinger to his neck, and is up and moving. But will Daniels still be back for some payback on Pentagon and Fenix?
AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament Quarterfinals: Jurassic Express VS The Lucha Brothers!
Speaking of those two, it is time for the AAA World Tag Team Champions to put up or shut up if they’re to head for the AEW tag titles. But to everyone’s surprise, Luchasaurus isn’t in this match! He unfortunately was not cleared due to a “non-contact” thigh injury, and is being evaluated at a local hospital. So it will be up to Jungle Boy and Marko Stunt to get the Express to the next stop. Private Party watches from the crowd, will they be meeting the boys and their dinosaur or the brothers with Cero Miedo?
AEW returns as the teams sort out. Stunt starts against Pentagon with the bell for this last opening round match! Pentagon honestly can’t take Stunt serious wearing that merchandise shirt. But Stunt steps to Pentagon, so Pentagon wants Stunt to listen. “CERO! MIEDO!” And then he pie faces Stunt to the ropes! Fans boo the bullying attitude, but Stunt shoves back. Stunt wants Pentagon to pay attention, to the flossing! Pentagon takes off the glove, looks to toss it to referee Aubrey Edwards, but then throws it at Jungle Boy! The ref reprimands him for that, but Pentagon just Cero Miedos at Stunt. Stunt takes that hand and bites it! Now the ref has to reprimand Stunt! Pentagon tries to get Stunt to let go, but Jungle Boy comes in as Stunt flies off. Jungle Boy catches Stunt on his shoulders, to then toss him back to Pentagon for a huricanrana!
Fenix runs in to SUPERKICK JB! Then he blocks Stunt’s kick to spin him around. Stunt dodges Fenix to then CHOP. But Fenix doesn’t flinch! Stunt dodges Fenix, tilt-o-whirls multiple times on Pentagon, but Pentagon tosses him at Fenix, only for Stunt to hit Fenix with a DDT! JB rolls Pentagon, somersault to a satellite DDT! The Lucha Brothers bail out and fans fire up for the Express! JB holds the ropes open, Stunt DIVES through to hit Fenix! JB then moonsaults onto Pentagon! Fans are fired up as the Express put Pentagon in. JB uses Stunt as the human weapon, pump handle 450 splash! Cover, TWO! Stunt is frustrated, but he stomps and clubs Pentagon down. Tag to JB, and JB whips Stunt in at Pentagon, 619! German Suplex! Cover, TWO! Pentagon even pulled hair for that. JB hits Pentagon with a forearm smash while Stunt takes the shirt off.
Tag to Stunt, and JB whips Stunt in, to Pentagon’s SUPERKICK! JB runs but Pentagon back drops him, only for JB to headstand on the corner. SUPERKICK takes JB down!

Pentagon waits for Stunt to stand, and KICKS the leg out! Stunt writhes but Pentagon relishes the moment. Then he KICKS Stunt’s let out again as AEW goes picture in picture.
Pentagon revels in the pain Stunt is feeling. He drags Stunt up to put against the ropes, and he hushes the crowd so they can hear his…Â CHOP! Stunt flounders but clearly fans want more. Fenix brings Stunt back up and onto the ropes, but backs away as the illegal partner. Only to come back and CHOP Stunt anyway! Fans want another, so Pentagon goes after Stunt again. Fenix trips JB up just because, and then Pentagon Penalty Kicks Stunt down! The Lucha Brothers are having too much fun tormenting these boys. Fans rally up with the Lucha Brothers as Fenix Penalty Kicks Jungle Boy! Pentagon then trophy lifts Stunt and carriers him around, with one arm! To then TOSS him at Fenix’s SUPERKICK! The referee has about had it with them, but Fenix finally behaves and goes to the corner.
Stunt is somehow okay to continue, which may actually be a bad thing. Pentagon toys with him now, but Stunt throws hands back! They don’t really hurt Pentagon, and then he KICKS Stunt in the leg again. AEW returns to single picture so TV fans can hear that one. Stunt gets to a corner, Fenix Drive-By SUPERKICKS him!

Winner: Chris Jericho, by submission;Â still AEW World Champion
To think the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla would need help on this one. But a win is a win, and the Inner Circle celebrates with a little bit of the bubbly! Will there be a lot more of the bubbly to come as the Inner Circle continues to take over AEW?
My Thoughts:
An incredible night for just the third AEW Dynamite episode! That was a great twist to start the show, I didn’t think Lucha Brothers would go Heel/Rudo that hard. They take Daniels out, thinking SCU would lose, but nope. Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian are still a strong combo of their own, and it made for a great moment for the fans with Scorpio having to be in normal clothing and the stuff about the shoes. I figured SCU would’ve won either way, but this will surely give them more of a reason to want after Lucha Brothers, regardless of the results. Lucha Brothers also had an easier time than I expected, I feel like I heard about Luchasaurus not being health in real-life but who knows. Stunt and Jungle Boy still did great, but obviously they weren’t going to win against Pentagon and Fenix. There was some great stuff in that match, though. But now, Lucha Brothers VS Private Party, that’s going to be amazing.
Now it seems that while AEW takes records seriously, and doesn’t want to be the normal wrestling promotion, there are still going to be what feel like squash matches with jobbers. “The Beaver Boys,” Reynolds & Silver, were essentially jobbers for Santana & Ortiz. But that’s fine, it gives fans something fun to watch, as well as serve as a quick debut win for #ProudAndPowerful. But man, stepping it up right away, they want the Young Bucks at Full Gear! That is going to be a great match, and the Bucks are clearly going to respond next week with a match of their own. Then we got a great and very cinematic video package to hype Cody’s part in the Full Gear AEW World Championship match. It didn’t necessarily give away if Jericho was winning, but we all had to figure Jericho was retaining tonight so that Cody’s story with him could have a real ending to it.
Riho VS Britt was really great, and obviously with being as small as she is, Riho is almost always going to be the underdog champion. Britt did well being the bigger of the two competitors, probably not very common for her to do. It was good story to see her get frustrated more and more, despite the respect she has for Riho. A bit of a mixed bag, Riho retaining by so easily figuring out Britt’s unique submission move. I was honestly surprised we got a first defense so soon, but either way, really great for Riho to retain to start building that reign. We got a great tag team grudge match out of Omega, Page, Mox and PAC, and it was smart for Pac to not let things go to a DQ. Omega VS Moxley at Full Gear should really be when all that happens, but this was a good tease. Pac VS Moxley next week will be great, but I wonder if Moxley will resort to going extreme then, too.
We didn’t really go as extreme as I thought in the Philly Street Fight, though. Chair shots are pretty good for the most part, but there wasn’t nearly as much brutality from Jericho as he shows even in non-DQ matches. Was there perhaps time constraints on this that kept Jericho from going all over, hijacking cameras or fan signs? I do appreciate the skateboard spot and the taped up hands, though. One other gripe that was so obvious that fans picked up on it and hated it, was that this Street Fight had ropebreaks! There shouldn’t be ropebreaks! Was this just because they couldn’t think of other ways to stretch this match out to then fit the time constraints they had? At that point, have them brawl up the ramp more, or get into the front row of the crowd. Having ropebreaks save Darby rather than his own youth and exuberance is just not in the spirit of No DQ matches, especially in Philly.
And to make Jericho seem a little weaker, he still needed Hager to attack Darby for him. I suppose there is the excuse of Jericho’s age, but he never needed that stuff in NJPW. This also takes the sting of such a move happening at Full Gear against Cody. That would make a lot of sense for The Inner Circle to help Jericho screw Cody over, because Cody has been built up a lot more in this than Darby. I wouldn’t say these are the only mistakes AEW has made, but I didn’t expect such missteps in their moves. It doesn’t hurt the hype, it just hurts the story they were telling.
My Score: 8.9/10

WrestleDream, October 12th, anybody in the back, you wanna make your name off of Darby Allin? Step up, and let’s make this official tonight! Anybody in the back, now’s the time! I’m right here! Come out!” Darby wants an answer one week in advance, and who does he get? No one responds and Darby says that’s what he thought. A locker room full of complacent talent. Tell him in five years when they’re in the same position that they could’ve done something about it!
Darby is giving someone a chance at a PPV as big as WrestleDream, but no one’s stepping up. Darby is getting upset, so he heads out. Will someone work up the courage to face him within the next week?

Dax Harwood says, “I need to know. What’s… ‘The Stuff?'” You gotta have the meat! So they pump weights face to face! You gotta have the look! So they sunbathe, even though it’s October and cloudy. And you gotta have the attitude! So they bleach Dax’s mustache and give FTR some wide shield sunglasses! FTR is diggin’ it! Cash asks Truth & Turbo, “Do we have The Stuff?” Oh, they got The Stuff! they shake hands, #FTRunners is go!
Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Outrunners!
Well, while FTR now have “The Stuff,” Zack Gibson & James Drake are looking to stuff everyone else in the AEW Tag Division in the bin, aka the trash. Will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem teach Truth & Turbo how to #GritYourTeeth?

Britt Baker speaks.
“Well, well, well, if it wasn’t another victorious homecoming for me, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. SO now what? Where do I go from here? I’ll tell you exactly where I go. Where I belong: in the AEW Women’s World Championship title picture. I haven’t had a one-on-one shot at that world title since I lost it. Time’s up. Mariah, I saw you watching me, watching my match. Well, I’ve been watching you, Mariah. I like what I see. But unfortunately for you, you have something I want. I’m done sitting at home waiting to be called upon. Contrary to popular opinion, I don’t expect anything to be handed to me.
“Title Tuesday, I’ll be there. I’ll be ready to fight. The road to redemption starts… now. Yours truly, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD.” The Doctor is in, but will she be leaving after she’s “extracted” that gold from The Glamour?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy Nair is with Kyle O’Reilly, Orange Cassidy, Rocky Romero, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale. Willow asks if it’s cool for her to start off. The fellas say sure, and Willow says okay. Because Britt, they all heard what you had to say. And you’ll have to wait your turn, because Willow wants the title. She’s coming for Mariah May. But tonight, this is Toledo, Ohio! And Willow has a match with Trish Adora like, right now! She knows the boys have The Premier Athletes, but she’s gotta go. Bye! Willow heads out, Mark Briscoe says do your thing, girl! And Mark feels sorry for Trish Adora, because right here in Toledo, Willow’s gonna whoop ass!
And as for OC & Kyle, they have the Premier Athletes tonight, and it’ll be another premier ass whoopin’ right here in Ohio! And as for Chris Jericho, Mark will address you real shortly. But tonight is about The Conglomeration! They’re getting down in Ohio, and tonight, the words of the day are “Diversification” and “Sophistication.” The Conglomeration is the most diverse and sophisticated group in pro-wrestling history! Understand what he’s saying? There ain’t no stopping! They’re The Conglomeration, they’re her, and they ain’t going nowhere! RARARARA! Kyle & Rocky are fired up, and Cassidy says Mark’s getting better, but just not quite there yet.
Willow Nightingale VS Trish Adora!
As The Babe with the Power said, she is aiming right at Mariah May, but who isn’t when we’re talking THE AEW Women’s World Champion? In fact, Mariah is in the crowd to watch this match like she did Britt in Pittsburgh. Will Willow prove she’s first in line, NOT The Doctor? Or will The AfroPunk completely flip the script?
The bell rings and the two shake hands. They circle, tie up, and are momentarily in a deadlock. Willow powers Adora to ropes, but lets go quickly. Willow whips, Adora reverses, then she blows past Willow to rebound and RAM her. Neither woman falls, so they tie up collar ‘n’ elbow again. Willow headlocks, Adora powers up and out, then reels Willow in for a headlock. Willow powers up and out, bypasses Adora then drops. Adora ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Willow RUNS her over! The fans fire up and Mariah pretends to be impressed. Willow runs and SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! The fans rally and Willow drags Adora up.
Willow reels Adora in to snap suplex! Willow drags Adora back up, but Adora snap suplexes! The fans fire up, and that actually impressed Mariah. Adora then wrenches Willow to PELE the arm! Adora wrenches and WRINGS Willow out, then clamps on with a motorcycle stretch. The fans rally while Willow endures, but Adora steps on her, then steps over her! Split leg pressure and Mariah really likes that. Adora then shifts, hooks the arms, and rolls Willow to a cover, TWO! Willow is free but Adora is right on her. Willow CLUBS Adora to stop the lift, then she dodges a forearm! Willow hits the POUNCE~! PERIOD!
The fans fire up and Mariah is now concerned, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Willow puts Adora in a corner, then CHOPS! Adora shakes her head, so Willow CHOPS again! Adora still shakes her head, even though that one stings. Willow scoops and SLAMA Adora, runs, and SENTON FLOPS as Adora moves! Mariah is a bit torn, but Adora and Willow slowly rise. Adora stomps Willow to ropes, brings her up, then wrenches. Adora KICKS away on Willow’s arm, then CLUBS the shoulder. Adora wrenches and CLUBS but Willow fires body shots! Adora CLUBS Willow again, and salutes as she stands over Willow. Adora waistlocks, drags Willow up, but Willow fires elbows. Adora ROCKS Willow in return!
Willow drops, but Adora drags her up. Adora winds up to ROCK Willow again. Willow goes to a corner, and she CHOPS in return! Adora RAMS Willow, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns, and Adora has Willow in the Air Raid Stretch, before the AIR RAID CRASH! Cover, TWO! Willow stays in this and Adora is frustrated. Adora runs in at the corner, but Willow dodges! Willow CHBOPS, whips, but Adora reverse. Willow cartwheels and comes back to waistlock. Adora bucks the O’Conner, but Willow runs up. Adora gest under the lariat but Willow CLUBS away! Willow puts Adora in a corner to fire LARIAT after LARIAT! Willow snapmares Adora, goes up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Mariah is mildly impressed while Willow covers, TWO! The fans rally, and Willow hauls Adora up.
Adora fights the gut wrench, RAMS Willow into ropes, then pushes her. Willow pushes back, but Adora avoids a boot! Adora fires forearm after forearm, but Willow ducks. Adora also runs, to CROSSBODY! The fans fire up and Adora CHOPS Willow in a corner! Adora reels Willow in, PANCAKE PLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Willow survives, Mariah is not happy, but Adora GERMAN SUPLEXES! High bridge, TWO!! Willow survives and Adora is stunned! Adora hauls Willow up, winds up, but Willow blocks a shot! Willow BOOTS Adora, reels her back in, BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
The fans cheer but Mariah is annoyed that Willow won. Willow steps up to Mariah, but Mariah SLAPS Willow! So Willow fires off shots, and THROWS Mariah over railing! Willow throws hands, then SMACKS Mariah off the steps! And then THROWS her into railing! Mariah writhes but the fans cheer as Willow brings her up again. Gut wrench and- NO, Mariah slips free of the bomb! And SLAPS Willow again, before running away! Willow says oh no, it won’t end like that. Will Willow be battling Mariah on Title Tuesday? At WrestleDream? Or somewhere else down the road?
Backstage interview with Wheeler Yuta.
Alicia Atout is with The Decoder, and she says he has a lot on his plate. Not only is he wrestling tonight, but he will join forces with Bryan Danielson this Title Tuesday against Claudio Castagnoli & Pac. How has Yuta prepared mentally to be facing former friends? It is definitely different than- Oh, wait, the Blackpool Combat Club steps in from all sides. Yuta asks Pac, Claudio and Marina Shafir if there’s a problem, partner. Pac says he is NOT Yuta’s partner. Claudio has everyone else leave, and Marina makes sure Alicia leaves, too. Claudio talks with Yuta alone. “Let it out.”
Yuta tells Claudio that he trusted and believed in Claudio, and did everything he asked. He did more than that! He bled for Claudio! Yuta has given up years of his career for Claudio! And what has Claudio done? Yuta doesn’t even know who Claudio is anymore! Claudio left Yuta in the dark as he betrayed Bryan, and now acts like everything’s okay?! Like Yuta is still supposed to trust Claudio!? What’s Claudio have to say for himself?! Claudio asks, “Did I ever steer you wrong? I wish you would still trust me. Because you know what? I always have your back. What’d Bryan ever do for you?”
Claudio pushes Yuta’s AEW World Trios Championship belt into his chest, clearly pointing out what he’s done for Yuta. Claudio wants Yuta to know that no matter what happens, Claudio always will have his back. Claudio leaves, and while Yuta is teaming with Bryan on Tuesday, will he still be BCC?
Backstage interview with Mariah May.
Lexy is with a “very exasperated” AEW Women’s World Champion, and says everyone seems to be gunning for The Glamour. Mariah says everyone is drooling for a shot at her! Is this AEW or her DMs? Mariah knows she’s the prettiest woman on the roster, but she says that’s only because everyone else is so damn ugly! And Britt Baker, with one match, thinks she gets a shot at this title? Do us all a favor and go back to your office to floss! As for Willow, Mariah gets it! Mariah finally understands why Willow is so smiley and happy all the time! It’s because Willow knows she is lucky to be here! Willow doesn’t even deserve to LOOK at Mariah’s title!
And then in steps Christopher Daniels, and Mariah asks if he even does anything around here! Daniels says yes, he hears talent bitch, moan and complain! But he sees Mariah starting fights here and there, because she can’t lose anything in those fights. But we’re done with that! Here’s what happens: Title Tuesday in Spokane, Washington, we will see Willow Nightingale VS Britt Baker. Mariah loves that, she’ll definitely watch. Good, because see, the winner of that match faces Mariah at WrestleDream for the title! Mariah stops smiling and Daniels asks, “How’s that for doing something?” She tells Daniels, “Blow it out your ass.”
Mariah storms off, but Daniels smirks. Can’t please everyone, huh? But will it be The Doctor or the Babe with the Power that meets Mariah in Tacoma?
Wheeler Yuta VS BEEF w/ Anthony Henry!
Just as The Decoder started clearing his head of the internal conflict, The Swiss Superman clouds things up by using the gold against him. Will Yuta be able to focus on tonight’s match? Or will the beef within BCC distract him from the Beef right in front of him?
The bell rings and Yuta fires off on Beef! The ref counts as Yuta has Beef in the corner, but Yuta just ROCKS and CHOPS Beef! Beef pushes back, headlocks, but Yuta powers up and out. Beef cartwheels!? And then he DROPKICKS! The fans fire up with Beef, and he runs in to LARIAT Yuta in the corner! Beef headlocks, then brings Yuta around to JAB! JAB! JAB! “BEEF! BEEF! BEEF!” Yuta just leans into the shots! Beef winds up, but Yuta choke grips! Then ROLLING ELBOWS! Beef staggers, and we see Jon Moxley watching from the back row of the stands, alongside Marina and Pac. Yuta BITES Beef on the forehead!
The ref reprimands, Yuta stops, and he wrenches Beef into a RIGHT ANGLE SLAM! Yuta seethes while Beef flounders. Henry coaches Beef as Beef crawls to a corner, but Yuta stomps a mudhole in! The ref counts, Yuta stops at 4, but then he grabs Beef by the wrists. Yuta DRAGON STOMPS Beef in the corner! The ref counts again, Henry gets on the apron, but Yuta stops at 4. And then Yuta DROPKICKS Henry down! Yuta glares at Beef, storms up on him, and drags him into the HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Yuta makes Beef a ragdoll! But then, chicken wings, and CATTLE MUTILATION! Beef is OUT, the ref calls it!
Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by submission
Yuta lets go, and that fury is still raging within him. Moxley smirks, is he pleased with how Yuta is progressing? Or will Yuta’s fury only end up the BCC’s enemy?
Backstage interview with Hook.
Lexy is with the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, and brings up last Wednesday night, we heard the news of the attack on Taz and how that upset Hook. After a few days to process it, Hook has now asked for this time. Hook will keep this simple: Whoever attacked his father, he is calling them out. Spokane, Title Tuesday, no more hiding! Hook tells them to say something to his face! Hook heads out, will he take off someone’s head in Spokane?
Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly w/ Rocky Romero VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist have had a busy week already, but they’re also riding high from getting one over on “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith. Will they keep things going as… Of course “Smart” Mark has to do the introductions himself. “The Premier Athletes have given a lot of cities an opportunity as of late to be a part of a winning team, and they’ve all failed! But we think the people of Toledo have just high enough IQ to follow along. So when we say, ‘Athletes!’ you say, ‘Rule!’ Nothing else! Hands in, boys. Ohhh… ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Gottee! But will that failed chant be the least of Mark’s worries after tonight?
The teams sort out and Cassidy starts against Nese. The fans rally for Cassidy as he circles with Nese. But then Daivari CLOBBERS Cassidy and Nese goes after Kyle! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but The Conglomeration is stacked in a corner. The Premier Athletes mug Kyle, then they mug Cassidy!

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Lexy is with the dual AEW TBS & NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, The CEO! Plus, Kamille. Mone says, “Toledooooo~! Say hello to your C E O.” Lexy wants to start but Mone says Lexy should congratulate Mone, and thank Mone for everything she’s done since joining AEW. Uh, yes, she- And did Lexy not see that beautiful video package of Dynamite’s greatest moments? She did. And so- And doesn’t Lexy know that since Mone’s joining AEW, the money has gone up? See, Mone Corporation is growing, evolving, and is forever changing the game. And with Kamille by her side, Mone is unstoppable.
See, Kamille is more than just a woman. She is The Brickhouse, the strongest, the toughest, and- Kris Statlander steps in. More than a woman, huh? That line sounds familiar. Kris steps to Kamille, and tells her #BornAgainKristen has a match tonight, so you watch it, b*tches. Kris pushes past Kamille, returning the favor from before. Mone gets upset but Kamille has her calm down. They will be watching, but will they like what they see?

One opponent, two opponents, three opponents, it seems like no one can stop Hologram! Will he be unstoppable all the way to a championship match?
Backstage interview with The Beast Mortos.
Lexy is with the menacing minotaur and says that over the past few months, we have seen him build alliances with all sorts of people in AEW. But at Grand Slam, it seemed like he officially joined up with La Faccion Ingobernable. Mortos roars, and in steps Roderick Strong. “BEEEEAST, Mortos. What is going on? You’re supposed to be with us! What’re you doing standing there, fisting with those guys?” Matt Taven thought he and Beast Mortos had something special. That The Kingdom had something special! Mike Bennett wants Mortos to look at him, man to, uh, man-bear-pig? Whatever! Just look at him!
If Mortos thinks he can trust LFI, he’s wrong. He can trust The Undisputed Kingdom. Just look at these faces! Don’t make the wrong choice. The Kingdom leaves, Mortos is conflicted. Who will soon have the muscle that is Mortos on their side?
Kris Statlander VS Zoey Lynn!
The Galaxy’s Greatest is now #BornAgainKristen, but her attitude doesn’t seem that different. Will she make a believer out of The Brickhouse by beating the same young lady Kamille did, but even faster?
The bell rings, Zoey runs up to fire hands first! Zoey won’t get dropped like she did by Kamille, but then Kris DECKS her! Zoey gets up, but Kris grabs her by the neck! Gorilla press and the fans fire up as Kris carries Zoey around! Then Kris TOSSES Zoey down! Kris flexes, the fans are torn, but Kris drags Zoey back up. Gut wrench, tuck, and STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER!! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
We’ll have to check the records to see who beat Zoey Lynn faster, but here comes Mone & Kamille! The CEO does her dance, but it is Kamille who has the mic. Kamille hands it over, though, and Mone smiles as she tells Toledo, to shut up! She has something to say. Mone & Kamille were so “impressed’ by Kris here. But understand that Mone is the Face of the Women’s Division, and the CEO of AEW! That means nobody disrespects her! So Kris will find out next what happens when you mess with Mercedes Mone! Go get her, Kamille! Kamille storms into the ring to stand face to face with Kris again. Kris says okay, chill. But then she fires forearms!
The fans fire up but Kamille BOOTS Kris back! Mone grins, Kamille smirks, but Kris KNEES Kamille! Kamille dragon sleepers, and hits the TWISTING NECKBREAKER! “The Road to Damascus” takes Kris down, and Mone says so much for Galaxy’s Greatest. Will nothing stop Mone & Kamille from conquering AEW? Or is this only lighting a fire within Kris?
Darby Allin speaks.
“Brody King. You accepted my Open Challenge, but all you had to do was ask. But I think I know what you’re trying to do. There is a lot I wanna say to you. I have never pinned you in that ring. ON the independents, in AEW, I have never pinned you in that ring. I put you in a coffin, I thought that was good enough. But no. Tuesday, Dynamite, I wanna see you face to face in that ring. I wanna tell the people a little story here. Everything you have in AEW is because of me. House of Black didn’t get you here, it was me. I was the one that went up to Tony Khan and said, ‘You need to hire Brody King.’
“Yeah. You want everything I have. But you’re gonna have to work really hard to take it from me.” Darby reveals the truth, but will he have to accept that he just can’t beat The King of Death?
BREAKING NEWS for Title Tuesday!
Emi Sakura’s return home to Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling, TJPW, has reinvigorated her, and now she’s coming back to AEW to finally win a crown! Will the Queen of Joshi take BOTH of Mone’s belts in a Double Title Match? Or will The CEO never bow down to anyone?
AEW World Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Triple Threat: Private Party VS Top Flight VS The House of Black!
Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy got another shocker over The Young Bucks just last night on Rampage, but they can’t rely on that to get their golden tickets. Can they officially earn their SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS at the AEW World Tag Team Championships? Or will another team be living Private Party’s WrestleDream?
In this Triple Threat, only two teams are legal at a time, so Brother Zay starts against Dante Martin. The bell rings as these two circle, but they’re wary of the House as they can tag in at any time. Dante waistlocks, Zay slips under ot drop toehold and float to a facelock. Dante fights up, wrenches out, and he wrangles Zay to a cover, ONE! Zay sweeps and covers, ONE! Dante hits a headlock takeover, Zay headscissors, and Dante kips free. Roles reverse, Dante headscissors but Zay kips free. Zay trips Dante, Dante BOOTS him away, but both men kip up! The fans fire up, and the two back away slowly.
Dante and Zay tag to Darius and Quen, but all four men step up. They talk some smack, then they fire shots! Private Party double whip Top Flight, and Buddy sneaks a tag! Private Party DOUBLE DROPKICKS Top Flight out, the fans fire up, and Private Party builds speed. They DOUBLE DIVE and take Top Flight down at the ramp! Now the House steps in! Buddy & Malakai build speed?! They double slide, and they DECK Private Party! Buddy fires off on Quen, Malakai has Zay, but the ref counts. The House puts Private Party in, but Private Party DOUBLE DROPKICK! Then Quen builds speed, Zay holds the ropes open, and Quen DIVES, into DOUBLE KNEES!
The fans go wild and Zay is stunned! Zay decides screw it, and he FLIES! But The House catches him, to DOUBLE APRON BOMB him! Zay writhes and falls to the floor, but the fans fire up behind The House. The House puts Quen in the ring, but Top Flight goes after them!

Buddy tags Malakai, The House mugs Quen more, and then Malakai brings Quen around to UPPERCUT! Quen fights back, but Malakai KNEES him down! Tag to Buddy, the mugging continues, and Buddy UPPERCUTS Quen down. Buddy KNEES Quen in the back, KNEES him again, then stares Zay down. Buddy smirks, drags Quen up, and suplexes. Collision returns to single picture as Quen fights the lift! The fans rally, Buddy fires body shots, but Quen cradle counters! TWO! Buddy CLOBBERS Quen! Buddy drags Quen up, but Dante tags in! Dante RAMS Buddy, slingshts up and around, then GAMANGIRISR!
Dante goes up, leaps over Buddy to CROSSBODY Quen! Dante ducks ‘n’ dodges Buddy to then jump and RANA! Dante dodges Malakai, runs up and METEORAS! Dante runs in at Quen to GAMANGIRI in a corner! Dante snapmares Quen, goes up and up to MAMBA SPLASH! Cover, Zay breaks it! The fans rally but Dante TOSSES Zay. Dante hauls Quen up, half nelsons, but Quen slips free of the slam! Dante bucks the O’Conner, BOOTS Quen, but Quen PELES! Both men are down, and they crawl for their corners! The fans rally up for the hot tags! Darius and Zay run in! Zay leaps over, Darius blocks a kick to CHOP!
Zay ENZIGIRIS and reels Darius in, but no Twist of Fate! Darius suplexes, Zay slips free, and Zay shoves to hurdle, but into an atomic drop! Darius runs to BULLDOG- NO, Zay stops the hotshot! Triangle jump STUNNER! The fans fire up as Zay runs, but Darius SLINGSHOT COMPLETE SHOTS! Darius drags Zay up, sends him at Quen, but that gets some SILLY STRING! Malakai tags in off Darius! Malakai grins, Buddy tags in, and The House surrounds Zay. Zay swings hands, but he gets mugged! ATOMIC KNEE SMASH! Darius runs up, into a double hip toss, and DOUBLE BOMB!

Malakai rises, he and Buddy drag Zay up, but Action storms out here! Action is still furious from last week, and his loss tonight doesn’t help. Leila Grey says don’t do it, but Action CHUCKS a water bottle at Buddy! The House storms over, but Dante tags in off Malakai!
The House wants Action, Action wants the House, but this is letting Dante snipe a DOUBLE TOPE!! Down goes The House! Action says that’s what the House gets! But then Dante goes up, into PARTY IN MOTION! Zay runs to use Quen as a step, to FLY! Down goes The House AND Dante! The fans are all fired up as Zay puts Dante in. Quen puts Dante up, Zay GAMANGIRIS, and then we get some GIN & JUICE!! Cover, Private Party wins!
Winners: Private Party, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships)
The House is rather beside themselves, because they let Action be a distraction. Will Malakai & Buddy have to make sure this is The End for Top Flight? As for Private Party, now that they have their SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, can they win, win, win? Or will The Young Bucks make sure WrestleDream becomes a nightmare?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision here, though it had some bad luck going up against WWE Bad Blood. Whenever it is Rampage folds, Collision should really move to Friday and not be a Saturday show. And it might just be me, but this was another rather talky episode. Though, I did like Archer beating up on randos and Callis trying to recruit him. I also liked that they established Jake Roberts is still Archer’s manager, even though we haven’t seen him much. And very good promo to flip things from last night, Kris getting in Kamille’s face. Kris of course beat Zoey Lynn, but Kamille of course knocked Kris down. They’ll have a great match that will surely establish Kris as Mone’s next challenger.
Though, speaking of, Emi Sakura is coming back to get fed to Mone. But at least Mone is having a title match on Title Tuesday, or just at all. Great promo from The Conglomeration to hype up not just both matches tonight, but also the stories to come. Great match from Willow VS Adora, and I feel like they should’ve done like, “Glamour Cam” with Mariah watching ringside, her reactions were great. Great win for Willow, and combined with Britt’s promo, I figured those two would face off for the title shot. I feel like they didn’t really pace things out well to just suddenly have this match affect the PPV, but well, that’s Tony Khan for you.
Great tag match of Cassidy & Kyle VS Premier Athletes that The Conglomeration of course won. We didn’t get much more in story, though, but the go-home week can help that. Awesome Fatal 4 Way, and Hologram is almost too powerful. But the fans also love him, so I can’t wait to see him primed for a title match after WrestleDream. Very good promo from Yuta with Claudio, and very good match of Yuta VS Beef. Beef is getting really good in that ring, he’s definitely going places. Yuta’s berserker mode is also great stuff, I wonder if he’ll unleash that on Pac for Tuesday.
But something about Claudio’s words to Yuta, it feels like Yuta might end up choosing The BCC, but I kinda hope he “carries on” the legacy of Bryan Danielson. He’s already been gifted the Cattle Mutilation so he could be fighting against The BCC like Sting fought against the NWO. Great vignette from the #FTRunners, and great match from GYV VS Outrunners. Outrunners winning was quite the shocker, I thought GYV would win to compel a rematch with FTR. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Very good match from Darby VS Johnny, which Darby of course won, and great bit making Brody King his opponent for WrestleDream. Not sure Darby needed to give his promo after calling Brody out for Tuesday, he should have just waited for Tuesday. Then Darby can do his reveal of “It was me, Brody! I got you here!” But even then, Darby VS Brody is going to be a hard hitting, gnarly show stealer of a match. And great stuff in that Triple Threat Tag main event, but just as I said last night, House of Black cancels out with Top Flight, Private Party wins. And also like I said last night, I really hope Private Party wins, they kinda deserve their moment.
My Score: 8.8/10

Winners: Katsuyori Shibata & Private Party, by pinfall
Five years later and it’s another shocker! Perry taunts Shibata with the TNT Championship, but The Bucks do give applause to Private Party. Will The Elite have to be much more careful if they want to keep their gold?

They’ll be in a Triple Threat against Top Flight’s Darius & Dante Martin and The House of Black’s Malakai Black & Buddy Murphy!

Will Anthony Henry’s second cousin through marriage just be an appetizer before the main course on Dynamite?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and notes we haven’t seen Kris in action since her win at All Out. What does she have her sights set on next? Kris says we could all sense that Chicago Street Fight was the end of an era for her. She has been in a group, she has had a manager, and with the anniversary of Dynamite just passing, let’s bring it back to how she started in AEW: on her own. Kris is stronger, more independent, she’s like, a “Born Again Kristen.” We all saw that she is the toughest, the strongest, and- Kamille steps in. The Brickhouse asks if that’s right. Biggest? Toughest? Strongest? Her match is next.
Kamille pushes past Kris, and Mercedes Mone follows. The CEO tells Kris, “You better watch, b*tch.” Mone laughs, did she just put herself on Kris’ radar?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the wacky Aussie and says while she’s in a match tonight with Queen Aminata, does Harley have an update on Saraya after that vicious match with Jamie Hayter? Harley says Saraya is currently incapacitated. No further questions. But what about her match with- NO further questions! Then what about…? Oh, yes, yes, her match. She should say something on that. Harley tells Aminata, “You are in a lot of trouble. RAWR!” That’ll do, right? Sure… Harley heads out, will she take out her frustrations on Aminata tonight? Or is she going to end up “incapacitated” alongside Saraya?
Kamille w/ Mercedes Mone VS Zoey Lynn!
The Brickhouse is The CEO’s big investment, and insurance policy. Will the former NWA World Women’s Champion remind us why she is a former NWA World Women’s Champion? Or can Zoey bring her down with some Angel Dust?
The bell rings and Kamille SPEARS Zoey!! The fans boo but Mone says Kamille has arrived! Kamille drags Zoey up, dragon sleepers, and TWISTING NECKBREAKER! Cover, Kamille wins!
Winner: Kamille, by pinfall
Mone raises Kamille’s hand as they both stand over Zoey Lynn. Between The CEO and The Brickhouse, will no one stop them from taking over AEW?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Renee is now with The Queenslayer, and says she had a tremendous showing in her return to AEW last week. It got a lot of people’s attention, but especially Will Ospreay. Anna says yes, Ospreay tweeted out a compliment on how great she has improved, from footwork to pacing, so she thanks Ospreay for that. He’s not too bad himself. Having one of the greatest wrestlers alive today see your hard work paying off is one of the best feelings ever. So if Ospreay sees it, then you know the AEW Women’s Division is seeing it. So if you don’t take her word for it, and if you don’t take Ospreay’s word for it, just do her a favor and try her.
Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie speak.
The Virtuosa says, “This thing of ours operates according to a code. That those who want respect give respect.” La Wera Loca says, “It’s simple, elegant.” Deonna has shown Taya generosity, and Taya accepted it. Despite early missteps, Deonna remains committed to this thing of theirs, because Taya has earned Deonna’s respect by owning the misstep. Taya says there is much to learn for “I” to become “We.” Deonna says that is what is missing in a place like AEW. These two must teach AEW that they are all bound together by the code. Those that want respect must give respect. And those who refuse get it beaten into them!
Queen Aminata VS Harley Cameron!
The One True African Woman may have Serena Deeb in her sights, and the wacky Aussie may have Jamie Hayter on her mind, they both must focus on who is in the ring with them. Will Aminata prove to the Professor that she doesn’t need the lessons? Or can Harley show Hayter that she’s not the only one who hits hard?
The bell rings, the two circle, and Harley KNEES low! Harley headlocks, Aminata powers up and out, then waistlocks. Harley fights the lift, throws elbows, then runs. Aminata gets around to waistlock and SLAM! The fans fire up while Harley hobbles up. Aminata and Harley circle again, Harley gets around to waistlock, but Aminata wrenches out. Aminata wristlocks, brings Harley down, then steps over to twerk attack! Aminata wrenches more, but Harley kicks low! And KICKS again! And ENZIGIRIS! Aminata wobbles, Harley brings Aminata in and, uh, wait, aren’t The Iron Savages the ones who take us to Tiddy City?
Harley runs, but Aminata ROCKS her! Amianta snapmares Harley, runs, and PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up while Aminata smiles, and she stalks Harley to a corner. Aminata runs around the world to BOOT WASH! Aminata reminds us she is the one and only, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Harley CLUBS Aminata down, then clamps on a chinlock.

Harley bumps Aminata off more buckles, then grinds her boot in. The ref counts, Harley steps back, and she drags Aminata up. Harley brings Aminata around to throw her down by her hair! Cover, TWO! Aminata stays in this, but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and Harley ELBOWS Aminata in the shoulder! And ELBOWS her again! Harley LICKS Aminata, then runs to SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Harley overcommitted on that deep leg hook, and Amianta survives for it. Harley runs in, but Aminata puts her on the apron! Harley ROUNDHOUSES, puts Aminata in ropes, and AX KICKS her down! The fans boo but Harley aims, to then run and- NO, Aminata blocks the kick to trip Harley up! Harley hits the apron hard, and Aminata brings her around. DOUBLE CHOP! The fans fire up and Aminata puts Harley in the ring. Aminata storms up but Harley fires forearms!
Aminata ROCKS Harley! And DOUBLE CHOPS! Harley falls, jumps back up, but Aminata wrenches and snap suplexes! And LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Harley survives but Aminata stays cool. Aminata runs in again, but Harley avoids the boot wash! Harley RAMS into Aminata again and again, but the ref counts. Harley lets off, huffs ‘n’ puffs, then runs in.

Aminat ais up, she dodges Harley, and scoops again! Harley tilt-o-whirls but Aminata powers her to a BACKBREAKER!
The fans fire up, QUEEN’S CROWN!! Cover, Aminata wins!
Winner: Queen Aminata, by pinfall
The former #BrainDrain gives Aminata a great win, but then Serena Deeb attacks from behind!! The Professor is pissed, and she SLAMS Amianta’s leg on the apron! Serena grins as she grabs the leg and pulls it against ropes in a HALF CRAB! Aminata taps, but here comes Britt Baker! The Doctor is returning the favor from Wednesday, but Serena bails! The Professor got her shots on Aminata, but will the walls start closing in?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Renee is now with Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn, and Caster is still sporting the remade jacket. With that, let’s talk MXM Collection. It is hard to keep track of what is going on, but Billy speaks up. He doesn’t mean to correct her, but he is “Hans!” Hans Gunn! But MXM, how stupid are you to not know it was Billy? It was Billy all along! So stupid, trying to embarrass The Best Wrestler Alive, try to embarrass The Acclaimed, with a makeover on Caster’s jacket. Y’know what? Caster likes the lace, how it makes his arms look bigger. And this heart cutout makes his muscles look popping! He looks as handsome as ever!
Bowens says that’s right! Before, they were gonna cut that thing up. But no, MXM just embarrassed themselves. Acclaimed said to nut up or shut up, and they sure shut up MXM real quick. Just like they will do if they get in the ring. Because once The Acclaimed is done with MXM, they will get the makeover of a lifetime. WHY? Because EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed! When and where will Platinum Max & The Scissor King cut down the Sultan of Suave and the Mahogany Hunk?
BREAKING NEWS for WrestleDream!
After Konosuke Takeshita attacked Will Ospreay and Ricochet on Wednesday, it seems the only way to settle this International Championship scenario is with a TRIPLE THREAT! Will The Alpha finally have gold in AEW? Will the Aerial Assassin finally be done with The Don Callis Family? Or are they both overlooking The One & Only?
Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly VS “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith!
The Conglomeration has been very busy this week. They were here Wednesday to confront The Learning Tree, and we now have Mark Briscoe VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship at WrestleDream. But speaking of, Jericho is joining commentary to watch his guys, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. Will Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist prune these Branches? Or will they be made to respect Chris Jericho?
The teams sort out and Cassidy starts against Bill. The fans rally as Cassidy and Bill stare down, and Bill mocks the hands in pockets. The fans boo, but Bill says show him how it’s done then. Cassidy puts his hands near pockets, but Bill runs up! Cassidy dodges, sunset flips, but Bill stays standing. Cassidy stops trying, and Bill YANKS Cassidy up! Bill whips, Cassidy stops by holding ropes, and then Casidy bails out. Cassidy shakes his head, knowing his limits against a man as big as Bill. Bill mockingly holds the ropes open and calls to Cassidy like a puppy dog. Cassidy steps up, but then rolls into the ring.
The fans cheer as Cassidy lounges on the mat. Bill storms up but then Cassidy rolls back out of the ring. The fans cheer more while Bill gets annoyed. Bill storms out, Cassidy slides in! Bill steps back in, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges and tags Kyle! Kyle runs up but Bill RAMS him! Kyle drops out of the ring and the fans cheer. Bill is annoyed as he watches Kyle & Cassidy coordinate.

Meanwhile, Kyle & Cassidy only have 24 hours to rest, because they have a Collision with The Premier Athletes tomorrow night! Will Pittsburgh be Freshly Squeezed all weekend long?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, which is interesting as there’s word Rampage is going to be shut down for whatever show AEW puts on Fox Sports 1. Honestly, they should’ve been trying hard the whole time with Rampage but whatever. Kamille probably had the shortest squash match in AEW yet, but it was to make a point after she and Mone got in Kris’s face. Kris’s promo was still rather Heel like, but it’s a bit surprising that she and Stokely Hathaway have just parted ways with no real pomp or circumstance. And pitting her against Kamille and Mone would be quite the way to turn her back to Face. Not that Kris’s attitude needs to change, she’d just be Face by default with those two.
Very good promo from Deonna & Taya, this maybe should’ve been given to us a bit sooner, but it also doesn’t really add much to the story. Good promo from Anna Jay, can’t wait to see what’s next for her. Good promo from Harley to segue into her match, which was a great match. Like Anna Jay, Harley is really improving, but Aminata still gets a great win. But of course Serena attacks Aminata, and then of course Britt Baker saves Aminata. I feel like we could get a tag match of Britt & Aminata VS Serena and who knows, but it’d be a great opportunity for any Heel to get on TV, maybe have someone actually take Serena up on teaching them things.
Great opening Six Man Tag tonight, definitely higher quality than what they usually put on Rampage. And it was rather surprising Shibata & Private Party took the win here, if only because they also announced that Triple Threat #1 Contenders match during it. I kinda though that news undercut what was going on in the match, regardless of who won. But given the feud between House of Black and Top Flight, I feel like Private Party wins out and they get the tag title match. As it stands, it doesn’t feel like Shibata or Private Party win the titles at WrestleDream, mostly because The Elite might cheat, but it’d be so great if Private Party finally won the big one.
And great main event here, even if this feud of Conglomeration and #JerichoVortex is going a little longer than needed. I really hope Jericho VS Briscoe for the ROH World Championship is the blowoff, and hopefully with Briscoe retaining. Not sure what that would mean for either team, but if it’s what we’ve all been hoping, i.e. Jericho mistreating Bill and Bill turning on Jericho, that’d be nice. Bill can maybe get himself going on a title story, too, using even just one win over Jericho as the springboard towards the TNT or Continental Championships.
My Score: 8.8/10
