The Thank You Celebrashon begins now!
Soul Train Jones is here in Chicago with a smaller version of a Macy Thanksgiving Parade as he welcomes us to “the greatest night in television history!” He introduces to us, the Greatest of All Time, Le Champion, Chris Jericho! The AEW World Champion walks out to all the fanfare he feels he deserves, and already has a little bit of the bubbly on hand. Jericho joins STJ in the ring and Chicago chants, “Thank You, Jericho!” Jericho tells Chicago to sit down and shut up now. This is HIS celebrashon, and he doesn’t need them messing any of it up. Tonight, Jericho gets that thanks. Not from the Chicagoans that don’t matter, but the AEW and TNT top brass! As Soul Train said, this is going to be the best night in TV history. Some of the fans are lucky enough to have a 50 cents off coupon for the newest Chris Jericho t-shirt. Yes, cents, not percent.
But moving on, “after months of discussion and investigation,” the greatest tasting grapes were found in Nepal and the Inner Circle has created the official Little Bit of the Bubbly! Go to the website now to order yours, supplies are limited. Fans chant for the “Bubbly! Bubbly!” as Jericho opens the bottle and sprays some around. He pours himself and Soul Train a toast. They sip, and it tastes so good. Now Jericho brings out his best friends in the world, the Inner Circle! Sammy Guevara, Santana and Ortiz come out, bringing extra Bubbly and other party favors. Sammy has a mic to say to his “father figure,” that he will thank Jericho. They’ve got all sorts of gifts, but the best gift is what Sammy has. A picture may be worth 1000 words, but this is priceless. Sammy takes the veil off the mystery item, it’s a Jericho-Sammy cardboard cutout of them hugging! And then they recreate it live! Thank you, Spanish God.
Santana and Ortiz are up next, and they have a Boricua gift basket. It’s the Winter, so that means it is flu season. Mama told him that you just gotta put this all over, and you’re all good! And then they have a picture of Hector Lavoe! But that’s not all, there’s some choncletas. These double as weapons. There’s something in a brown bag. This is Little Bit of a 40. Best of all, Jericho is an official Boricua. They give him a Puerto Rico headband. This is already the greatest night of his life, but where is the Big Hurt, Jake Hager? They look around but Hager comes out with a gift of his own. The little critter is reluctant to come out. This is Chris Jerigoat. Jericho does want to know one more thing. What is this big box? What’s in the box? Is it a surprise? It has him all over it. This is the biggest surprise the Inner Circle has for Jericho. It’s… PAPA JERICHO, TED IRVINE!!
Jericho is amazed to see his dad here, and his dad is great to be back in New York City! No, Dad, no, it’s Chicago… Oh? The Blackhawks? Yeah. And Chicago cheers for them. Oh quiet down, they’re having a father-son moment. Irvine played for the Ranges, and they beat the Blackhawks all the time! It was brutal! Still are brutal. Irvine remembers some guy named Bobby Hull. Chicago Blackhawks were and always will be wimps! Well, what’s in the bag? He has gifts all for the Inner Circle. They’re custom jerseys based on the New York Rangers! Chicago says “Rangers Suck!” but the Inner Circle tries on their jerseys. Even Soul Train gets one! You’ve got Ruffian, Thug, Big Hurt, Spanish God, and of course, Le Champion. This is a lot of fun, huh, Chicago?
But time for the knitty gritty. This is the official statement from the AEW and TNT brass. Time to read it to the crowd. Actually, no, he won’t read it. Jericho makes the ring announcer read it. Fans taunt Jericho, saying “You Can’t Read! You Can’t Read!” What’s this kid’s name again? Justin Roberts. Where’s he from? Here in Chicago, actually. Where did he graduate? Buffalo Grove High. Well then Buffalo Grove sucks. Now read this official thank you statement. Justin takes the paper and reads it aloud.
“Dear Chris Jericho, on behalf of Warner Media, TNT and the entire AEW Family, we wanted to take our time and extend our sincerest gratitude and appreciation for all your contributions in helping AEW become the most talked about wrestling league in the world. Your exemplary service to AEW continues to demonstrate not only the performer but also the man Chris Jericho truly is. Not only are you Le Champion, but you are our champion. Thank you.” Fans boo, not believing a word of that. Jericho didn’t like Justin’s tone. Does Justin not think Jericho deserves the thank you? Huh? Huh? They beat up Justin Roberts! But here comes the marching band!? They beat up the Inner Circle, because they’re really SCU! Soul Train gets a Cobra Clutch! Or is a Million Dollar Dream? Scorpio finishes it with a LARIAT! The Inner Circle is furious but Scorpio will look to add on. Will Scorpio be saying “thank you” after he takes the title from Jericho?
Marco Martinez joins AEW commentary!
The All Elite Fleet announcer joins JR and Excalibur for the night while Tony Schiavone is with the Georgia Bulldogs! Marco looks forward to this big tag team match up next! And after what Justin Roberts just went through, Dasha Gonzalez steps in to introduce it!

Fans are divided as Fenix and Pentagon each shout, “CERO, MIEDO!” But the Best Friends send the brothers into each other instead! Then they set things up as Orange climbs, to LEAP!

Trent rolls Pentagon up, TWO, SUPERKICK!
Pentagon tags Fenix so that he can go after Orange Gobbledy himself. But Chuckie leaps over Orange to CANNONBALL Pentagon! Fenix runs at Trent, big rolling sobat! He rolls Trent, then somersaults, but into the Alabama! CRUNCHY BUSTER! Cover, Best Friends win!!

The Women’s Division top 5 contenders are as follows: 5th place, Allie; 4th place, Nyla Rose; 3rd place, Emi Sakura; 2nd place, Britt Baker; and in 1st place, Hikaru Shida! Riho might be facing her former classmate in the near future, will #1 Shida become the one?
Bea Priestly & Emi Sakura VS Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander!
Speaking of, the samurai of Stardom and #1 contender teams up with the Galaxy’s Greatest Alien to build some momentum towards that inevitable encounter. Will Shida stay strong when faced with her mentor and beastly Priestly?
Teams sort out and Kris steps up, but Sakura and Bea attack her and Shida before the bell! They knock Shida off the apron and double hip Kris, but she holds ropes. Bea runs in but is tossed out, and then Kris kicks Sakura. Sakura throws Kris out but Kris lands on the apron. Kris has to kick Bea off her leg, then she MOONSAULTS right onto her!

Sakura “apologizes” before she brings Shida up in a waistlock. Shida standing switches, but Sakura pulls hair again! The ref reprimands and counts, but Sakura takes his arm in hers to do-si-do! But then Sakura taunts Shida, Shida runs in, and Sakura uses the ref’s own arm to clothesline Shida down! The ref apologizes, but Sakura raises his hand in victory. The ref is not pleased with Sakura’s playing around, but she goes after Shida’s legs.

Winners: Emi Sakura & Bea Priestly, Sakura by pinfall
Shida protests, she saw that mic stand! But the ref can’t call what he doesn’t see. Does this change the power rankings enough to change Riho’s match card?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Months ago, I declared war on anybody in AEW that wanted to stand in my way.” That hasn’t changed. Every obstacle, every setback, every new scar, Moxley continues to push forward, “blazing a trail to the top of the hill.” Moxley is napalm death. Many look over their shoulders, say their prayers and hope the inevitable never comes, but is there anyone else out there that wants to get Moxley before Moxley gets them? Someone who has a death wish. “This is a call to arms to anybody who wants to step up and be hero. Be a hero! Or get seriously, seriously hurt trying.” Moxley keeps that open challenge open, who answers his call?
Cody VS Matt Knicks!
The American Nightmare returns! Betrayal of a best friend and a beat down by a brute isn’t enough to break him, but will he be able to get back on track after busting open his face?
The bell rings and Cody shakes Knicks’ hand to show this is respectful. The two tie up, go around but break. Cody and Knicks tie up again, Cody trips Knicks up. Knicks gets up and ties up with Cody again. Cody headlocks but Knicks powers him to a corner. The ref counts and Knicks backs off, to kick low! So much for respect. Cody kicks back and hits the Rhodes Uppercut! Then the springboard CUTTER! Fans fire up with Cody as he fires up and takes off the weight belt! He tosses it to the fans! And then puts on a FIGURE FOUR! Knicks endures, but taps! Cody wins!
Winner: Cody, by submission
The American Nightmare feels great getting back in the ring, but he wants to speak. He gets a mic, and calls out MJF! “We don’t have to wait. Let’s do this right here, let’s do this right now!” Wait, what the hell is that coming out from under the ring!? Off comes the mask, and it’s The Blade, Andy Williams! He attacks Cody, but why!? And who is that following him? The Butcher, Braxton Sutter! Sutter suplexes Cody to combine with Williams’ BACKSTABBER! Fans boo The Butcher and The Blade, but why are they after the American Nightmare? Who is this emerging next?! Allie as The Bunny has brought two dark and dangerous men to AEW, but to what end?
AEW is picture in picture as Cody gets medical attention.
He’s already got the stitches in his eyes, and his ribs can’t bad ribs can’t be all that much better. Will he have a new threat to worry about before even considering MJF?
Kenny Omega VS PAC!
The Best Bout Machine was bested by The Bastard the last time AEW was in Chicago, so that is a loss he is looking to redeem. Will Omega beat the #1 ranked male in AEW to make big leaps towards the AEW World title?
The bell rings and fans are fired up already! Omega and Pac circle, tie up, and go around to a corner. Pac has Omega on the ropes but the ref calls for the break. Pac lets up, to shove Omega. Omega shoves back, then kicks and headlocks. Pac powers out but Omega runs him over. Omega runs, Pac drops down and then leaps over. Things keep moving, Pac leaps but Omega runs and slides to dropkick a leg out! Omega runs for the Kotaru Krusher, but Pac handsprings through! But Omega just saw this with Jack Evans on AEW Dark, so he full nelsons for a SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Omega drags Pac up, powerbomb lift, BUCKLE BOMB! Then he whips, for a pop-up SPINE BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Pac survives that high speed assault and bails out. Omega kneels, the Terminator drums begin, and Omega builds speed. Omega FLIES to take Pac out!
The ref checks on both men, that landing on the ramp slows Omega down but fans rally for “A E DUB!” Omega gets up, puts Pac in, then walks off the leg. But Pac shotgun dropkicks Omega off the apron! The ref starts a ring count but Pac goes out quick to put Omega back in. Pac climbs up but Omega swings. Pac shoulders in, slingshots up and over, but Omega redirects and full nelsons. Pac fights out fast with elbows, but Omega reels him back in for a SNAP DRAGON! Omega goes out to join Pac on the apron, but he wants to suplex Pac off the apron! Pac holds on for dear life, so Omega clubs him on the back. Omega half nelsons, but Pac denies the full. Omega hops down, Pac climbs up, SUPER MOONSAULT! Direct hit wipes them both out again! Fans are all fired up as the two men are down again. A ring count begins as AEW goes picture in picture.
Pac and Omga start to stir, and even sit up. Pac stands first, and gets in at 6. Omega is in after, and both men are in opposite corners. Omega runs in but Pac gets clear, to slingshot CUTTER! Pac sees Omega floundering and heads up top. Pac aims, and hits a missile dropkick! Cover, ROPEBREAK! Pac is furious but he just didn’t see the ropes. Pac stomps Omega while he’s down, putting him in a corner. Pac whips Omega corner to corner hard! Omega grits his teeth in pain, but Pac mockingly applauds. Pac stomps Omega around but Omega hits back with body shots. Pac eggs him on and gives a big knee low. Pac snapmares Omega into a chinlock. Pac grinds Omega down but Omega fights his way up. Omega fights out, then CHOPS. Omega runs, but Pac clobbers him down!
Pac seethes as he looms over Omega. He gives toying kicks but gets meaner with them as AEW returns to single picture. Omega hits back, but Pac still toys with him. Omega fights back from below but Pac throws a forearm. Omega throws one back, but so does Pac. They go back and forth, faster and faster, fans on Omega’s side! Pac gets an edge, then watches Omega wobble. Pac eggs Omega on, Omega BOOTS Pac into a corner! Omega goes to the far corner and waits for Pac to stand. Pac dodges once but the Polish hammer comes back around! And again! Pac kicks first but runs into a third Polish hammer! Cover, TWO! Omega drags Pac up, fisherman BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Omega keeps his focus as he brings Pac back up. Omega wrenches, CHOPS, and then brings Pac around for another CHOP.
Omega fireman’s carries, “You Can’t Escape!” But Pac does escape to shove Omega to a corner. Omega hits back with an elbow but walks into a boot! Pac runs into a boot, but then SUPERKICKS back! Omega wobbles again, Pac runs, but Omega boots to V-TRIGGER! Omega runs, Pac follows to LARIAT! Both men are down and fans are fired up! Omega stirs as fans rally up behind him. Pac stalks him to a corner to put him on the top rope. Pac climbs up, brings Omega all the way up, SUPER FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!! Omega still lives! Pac is furious, but he drags Omega into the drop zone. Pac climbs up again as fans say “This is Awesome!” Pac aims, BLACK ARROWÂ FLOPS! Omega got clear, and now he comes back with a V-TRIGGER! Electric Chair, the fold, but Pac slips out. Omega wrenches out, crucifix pin, TWO! But Omega keeps with it and rolls Pac back down, hooking a leg! Omega wins!!
Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall
The Cleaner finds the key to beating The Bastard! The #1 contender has another loss on his record, and Omega surely has to be moving up! With the AEW World Championship on the line tonight, who is first to be the next challenger?
Dynamite Dozen Finals, Diamond Ring Match: Hangman Page VS MJF w/ Wardlow!
After a wild battle royal, it was the Problem Solver and the Salt of the Earth were the last two standing. They now fight for a 45 THOUSANDÂ dollar ring (I think the value went up since last week), “the most expensive ring in all of professional sports.” MJF doesn’t think that ring belongs on the finger of some “white trash inbred hick from Virginia,” but it does belong on the finger of somebody who is better than us, and we know it. This diamond ring match is set to become an annual tradition, but will the inaugural ring bearer be the Casino Battle Royal winner, or Maxwell Jacob Friedman?
The bell rings, and fans chant “Cowboy Shit! Cowboy Shit!” MJF doesn’t get it, until Hangman clobbers him! Hangman throws haymakers and CHOPS, but MJF bails out fast. Hangman runs but Wardlow stands in his way. Fans boo the living wall getting involved, but Hangman goes out to get in his face. MJF tries to sucker punch Page but Page is ready to punch first! Hangman stalks MJF and clotheslines him into the crowd! Hangman then drags MJF back up to hip toss onto the ground! Hangman stomps MJF around then puts him in the ring. Hangman glares at Wardlow as AEW goes picture in picture.
Hangman takes aim at MJF, but Wardlow creeps close. Hangman swipes at him, but MJF hotshots the arm! MJF then distracts the ref so that Wardlow can hammerlock and ram Hangman into a post! Wardlow puts Hangman in before MJF is done faking a bad eye. MJF wraps the arm on a rope and pulls. The ref reprimands and counts but MJF lets up to then kick the rope. The rope jams Hangman’s arm and MJF stands like he’s already won. MJF wrenches and whips Hangman corner to corner, even wringing him out before hitting buckles! Cover, TWO! MJF is annoyed but Hangman kicks back. MJF kicks him to wrench and elbow the elbow. AEW goes to break as MJF puts Hangman back in the corner.
AEW returns as MJF soaks up the heat. MJF runs in but Hangman dodges, then CHOPS MJF! Hangman haymakers, CHOPS and whips, but MJF holds ropes to yank the bad arm. MJF runs but into both of Hangman’s arms! Fall Away Slam! Hangman kips up to clotheslines MJF out, then DIVES! Top Suicida rams MJF into barriers, but Hangman climbs up top. Fans fire up as Hangman hits the SUPER MOONSAULT! Hangman gets MJF back in the ring and fans fire up more. Hangman throws off his arm bands, takes aim, but MJF uses the ref as a shield! Hangman gets in and moves the ref aside, but he saw the kick coming! Hangman flips MJF but MJF lands on his feet! And pokes Hangman in the eye! MJF runs but Hangman DISCUS LARIATS! Cover, TWO! MJF survives and Hangman grows frustrated. MJF puts Hangman on the apron and kicks him on the return!
MJF has Hangnan stuck in the ropes but Hangman tosses him off! Slingshot, BUCKSHOT! MJF flounders away, Hangman covers, Wardlow helps MJF get the ropebreak! Fans boo but the referee can’t be sure what happened. Wardlow claims he had nothing to do it. Hangman knows it was Wardlow, though, and so he goes right at him. But with MJF exaggerating injury again, the ref doesn’t see Wardlow’s punch! Hangman is draped on the ropes, MJF reels him in, dragon sleeper and, CROSS RHODES! Cover, MJF wins!!
Winner: MJF, by pinfall; wins the Dynamite Diamond Ring
MJF adds insult to injury by stealing Cody’s move to win! Wardlow helps MJF with his scarf, and the diamond ring is brought out, by Diamond Dallas Page! DDP grabs a mic and asks Chicago if they’re ready. “It’s me, it’s me, it’s DDP.” And he presents the very first AEW Dynamite Diamond Ring to Maxwell Jacob Friedman. DDP has the box, opens it up, and MJF takes it out. Fans call MJF a very different name as he puts the ring on his pinkie and gives it a kiss.
But DDP tells Maxwell that “some of your actions are very, very disappointing.” But Maxwell is the winner. Since DDP is a bigger man, he will congratulate MFJ like a man. He offers a handshake, MJF puts his gum in DDP’s hand instead. Seriously? Seriously. DDP yanks MJF around to face him, but Wardlow steps in as MJF’s muscle. DDP tells the “big man” to step off. Wardlow would look a bit stupid when a 63-year-old man kicks his ass all over Chicago! The fight is on but referees and security hurry to stop it! MJF gets his shots in, too! Security keeps MJF and Wardlow back, and the ring winner gets away with his bodyguard. Will this Dynamite Diamond Ring lead MJF to bigger and better things?
Dustin Rhodes is here!
The Natural still has a cast on that arm, but he’s feeling good enough to be in Chicago! He stands with interview correspondent, Jenn Decker, and she asks about the confrontation with the Inner Circle. Dustin says Jake Hager broke his arm, but he will be coming for blood. “You are not the same man you used to be. You are not this.” That is to say, #WeThePeople. But instead of Hager coming out to respond, it’s Sammy Guevara! Dustin goes after Sammy, then has to worry about Santana and Ortiz! Spinning pwoerslam for Sammy, but Santana tackles Dustin down! The Inner Circle have 3v1 on Dustin, but here come the YOUNG BUCKS! Matt Jackson returns to double clothesline! Nick enters, and the Bucks SUPERKICK Proud ‘n’ Powerful! Sammy enziguris each Buck, then knees Dustin! Sammy runs, into SUPERKICKS and BOOT!
The Elite take the Inner Circle to the corners and make sure each man is wide open. Fans are fired up, TRIPLE SHATTERED DREAMS! Dustin and the Bucks stand tall, but just how much more intense will this faction warfare get?
The Dark Order has another message.
Stop losing, and start winning. #JoinDarkOrder. The man with glasses from before finds the Dark Order’s place of meeting. “Who are you?” “We are one.” Again! “We are one!” Your friends will doubt your progress. They will say no to this. Why? Because society has failed. Because your friends have failed. Because your families have failed. But the Dark Order will never fail you. You can reach a potential you never thought possible. Just like the First Pupil, Stu Grayson. He became great because he heard the teachings. The Dark Order is all powerful. The Dark Order can be anyone or anything. From a politician to a teacher to the person who cares for your family. They are everyone, everything, and one. The people become Creepers. Are you ready to play? Are you ready to #JoinDarkOrder?
AEW World Championship: Chris Jericho VS Scorpio Sky!
All it took was a victory in tag team action for SoCal Uncensored’s Closer to get a huge pinfall off Le Champion! With no teammates or faction members allowed ringside, can Scorpio get the fair shake he deserves? Or will Y2J still have reason to sip A Little Bit of the Bubbly tonight?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and Aubrey Edwards officiates this Thanksgiving eve main event!
The bell rings and Scorpio stares down with Jericho. They circle as fans rally up. Jericho and Scorpio covers, Jericho arm-drags and flexes. Scorpio is annoyed but he keeps his cool. Jericho and Scorpio circle again but Jericho backs off as fans chant, “Stupid Idiot!” Scorpio and Jericho tie up and Jericho headlocks. Scorpio fights out but Jericho runs him over. Jericho runs, Scorpio gets up but Jericho runs him over again. Things speed up again, and Scorpio dropkicks Jericho, then clotheslines him out! Fans rally as Scorpio slingshots. He lands on his feet when Jericho evades, and dropkicks him again! Scorpio drags Jericho up and into the ring, then slingshots in to shoulder. Then he slingshots up and over, sunset flip! Cover, TWO! Scorpio elbows Jericho down and fans fire up.
Scorpio scrapes his boots on Jericho’s face, then brings him up to whip into a corner. Jericho puts Scorpio on the apron and Scorpio hits back. Scorpio bumps Jericho on buckles, then slingshots in to headcissor. Jericho denies that, and triangle dropkicks Scorpio down! Le Champion already celebrates while we go picture in picture.
Jericho lets Scorpio stay outside a moment while he soaks up all the cheers and jeers. But then Jericho flips off the fans, getting nothing but jeers. Jericho brings Scorpio up to CHOP down! He then throws Scorpio into steel steps! Jericho goes back to the ring while the referee checks on Scorpio. Jericho has Scorpio stuck under the railing, to guillotine catapult! Scorpio sputters, and Jericho spots Scorpio’s date, Melanie Parsons. She’s obviously concerned as Jericho puts Scorpio in the ring. Jericho gets in and stomps Scorpio around while soaking up the heat. Jericho drags Scorpio up for hammering fists into his forehead, then basement dropkicks him over! Cover, TWO! Jericho keeps his cool as he brings Scorpio up. Scorpio blocks the suplex, so Jericho throws body shots. Scorpio still blocks, Jericho clubs him more, but Scorpio hits back.

Jericho works to turn Scorpio over, WALLS OF JERICHO!
Scorpio endures as Jericho sits deep! Scorpio fights, crawls, reaches, ropebreak! Jericho holds on until 4 then argues with Aubrey. Fans boo but Aubrey gives Jericho the business. Jericho runs at Scorpio, misses, but gets a CUTTER! Into the Dragon Sleeper Clutch! But here comes Jake Hager! He’s not supposed to be out here! Scorpio forearms Hager off the apron, Jericho rolls Scorpio! TWO, and double LARIATS take both men down! Aubrey checks on both men but they’re okay to continue. Hager scowls but Aubrey tells him to stay back. Hager gets on the apron again, shouting at Scorpio. But Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels go after him! The Addiction fights Big Hurt, but Jericho has the AEW belt! Scorpio sees it coming, catches Jericho, TKO!! Cover, TWO!?! Y2J survives the TKO and Scorpio can’t believe it!

Jericho ducks a kick, and grabs the enziguri, to drag Scorpio back into the Walls of Jericho! Jericho sits deep, and Scorpio can’t hold out! Scorpio taps, Jericho wins!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by submission;Â still AEW World Champion
The Lion Tamer tames Scorpio, but he feels compelled to teach Scorpio a lesson for pushing him this far. The Walls are put back on! But here comes MOXLEY!! The Death Rider enters from the bleachers, and Jericho sees him glaring menacingly. Fans are fired up and Jericho holds up the title. Jericho dares Moxley to do something, and Moxley starts making his way further down towards ringside. But the sparks don’t fly just yet. When and where will these two wild cards collide?
My Thoughts:
Another great episode! It made a lot of sense to open with the “celebrashon,” and it was just rich with that same great Jericho style comedy. And it is awesome that A Little Bit of the Bubbly is now an AEW product. Getting the Father of Jericho in on the act was great, and it was great to have SCU in disguise as members of the marching band. Daniels seems to be a master of disguise. Just about everything in the AEW World Championship match was great. I wish they’d played up Scorpio have his date ringside, but perhaps they were worried about TV time and skipped it. And while there was a ringside band on corner men, of course Hager was going to defy that. We all figured Scorpio wasn’t winning, but he still looked amazing, as we also figured. Moxley giving his open challenge yet staking his claim showing up at the end of the show seems a bit contradictory, but given how AEW plans to use rankings and wins, perhaps this is Moxley reminding Jericho that he’s still around.
Best Friends VS Lucha Brothers was a great match, Orange Cassidy was pretty hilarious as a turkey, and I’m a bit surprised to see Best Friends win. Trent beat Pentagon, Fenix beat Nick Jackson, and now those two face each other next week in what will surely be another incredible match. The women’s tag was pretty great, AEW is going strong with these match types in particular. It is actually good booking for Sakura and Priestly to find a way to sneak a win, but also not pinning Shida but Statlander. Shida might still be #1 contender but she’ll likely need another win before she faces Riho for the title. Omega VS Pac was a great rematch, and naturally, Omega makes up for the All Out loss. This might hurt Pac’s #1 ranking, but I still feel Omega needs something more before facing Jericho.
The Dark Order had a great vignette, really selling how creepy they’re really meant to be. The Dustin Rhodes segment was good for keeping his grudge with Hager going, but I’m glad we’re going to get a Six Man out of that brawl. That is going to be a great match. MJF VS Hangman was also a great match, even with Wardlow getting involved at times. MJF keeps things going with Cody by stealing the Cross Rhodes, but DDP might even be added to the mix to counter Wardlow for Cody. I’m still curious as to the purpose of the Dynamite Diamond Ring but maybe that comes up later. Cody of course gets a squash match for his return, and keeps things alive with MJF in his promo, but I feel we came across a moment where mingling stories gets messy.
Allie going Heel while bringing in Braxton “The Butcher” Sutter (her IRL husband) and tag partner Andy “The Blade” Williams during Cody’s moment was a great surprise, but to what end? If it was one new wrestler, it would’ve made sense to say they were MJF’s newest muscle. But a new trio popping out just because just seems off to me. If they’d done this to a tag team, or to a wrestler not already attached to some other story, maybe it works better. Just not sure about this here.
My Score: 9/10

Everything you’ve worked for for the last five years in AEW, I’m gonna give you a chance right now. Hey ref, you work for me, get your ass in the ring. We’re going to put the Trios Championships on the line again, right now! Ring the bell!” The fans boo but apparently Moxley has the power to do this. Can Uno, Reynolds & Silver turn the tides to take the power back?
AEW World Trios Championships: Blackpool Combat Club VS The Dark Order!
The bell rings, Silver stands, but Claudio UPERCUTS! Claudio fires fists on Silver, the ref counts but he also has to reprimands Marina for getting too close to Uno and Reynolds.

Winners: Lance Archer & Brian Cage, by pinfall
Callis joins his #MurderMachines to celebrate, but will they really celebrate when these two take over the tag division?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but also Beast Mortos. They wanted to talk with him, but are mostly feeding him fried chicken… Roddy says, “BEEEAST! Thanks for joining us.” Bennett gives Mortos more meat to eat, and Roddy says they really need to talk. What is going on with Mortos? Something seems off. Mortos growls but Bennett says no, he’s just confused. Mortos taking out Hologram like that? Not cool. Taven can’t believe LFI got Mortos to wear a polo shirt! Mortos never even wore a shirt when hanging out with The Kingdom. Not cool! And what is Mortos doing fisting (with) two other dudes? Really not cool.
But the most disappointing thing of all, is that this is all happening without The Kingdom! Roddy says they’re not mad, just disappointed. The Kingdom leaves but did Mortos even care what they said while chowing down on meat? If they keep trying to get Mortos back, will LFI make The Kingdom one of their targets?
AEW Women’s World Championship Title Eliminator: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
While there were some legitimate complaints made by the AEW Women’s World Champion, she doesn’t really help herself when she looks down on the rest of the roster. Will The Glamour continue to grow her ego here tonight? Or will Anna prove she’s the real Star of the Show?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Anna and Mariah circle, tie up, and go around. The fans duel, Anna waistlocks, but Mariah wrenches to YANK the arm! Anna wrenches back to wristlock.

Anna goes to a corner, Mariah storms up, and Mariah TOSSES Anna across the way! Anna tumbles, Mariah eggs her on. Mariah TOSSES Anna across the way again! The fans boo but Mariah drags Anna up into a corner.
Mariah CHOPS, then CHOPS again! Anna is stinging but Mariah scoops her for the MARIAH-GO-ROUND SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! Mariah has the smug, teasing smile, and she soaks up heat while BOTB goes picture in picture.
Mariah clamps onto Anna with a cording hold, and she digs a knee into Anna’s head. Anna endures, fights around, and fights to her feet. Mariah throws her down by her hair! The ref reprimands and Mariah “apologizes” before she brings Anna up. Mariah puts Anna on ropes, hooks her arms, but the ref counts. Mariah lets go, to then SHOTGUN Anna in the back! Anna falls, Mariah covers, TWO! Anna toughs it out but Mariah just shrugs. Mariah drags Anna up, suplexes high and hard, then covers. TWO, but Mariah puts Anna in an ARMBAR! Anna endures, clasps hands, fights around, and rolls to stack Mariah! TWO as Mariah lets Anna go!
Mariah ROCKS Anna, reels her in, but Anna cradle counters! TWO!! Mariah runs up, Anna rolls her up, TWO!! Mariah escapes again, and she wrenches an arm for a SITOUT ELBOW BREAKER! Anna writhes and clutches her arm while Mariah soaks up heat. Mariah stomps Anna, drops a knee on the arm, then drops another knee on the arm! Mariah drags Anna up, whips her to ropes, but Anna slips around to wrench. Mariah stops the hook kick to wrench and ARMBAR DDT! Cover, TWO! Anna stays in this and Mariah grows frustrated.

Anna wobbles, Mariah reels her in! Fireman’s carry, but Anna slips free! MOUSE TRAP! ANNA WINS!!
Winner: Anna Jay, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW Women’s World Champion)
Mariah is speechless! She thought Anna was unworthy, and yet that arrogance is why Anna won! And Tony Khan calls in to say we don’t have to wait long! Two weeks from now, Collision in Philadelphia, Mariah May VS Anna Jay, with the title on the line! Will Mariah avenge herself in the rematch? Or will there truly be a new Star of the Show?
My Thoughts:
A great Battle of the Belts, especially with the events of Collision spilling over. BCC beating down Top Flight, fighting Dark Order, and then having another match was all great stuff to really get heat on them. And speaking of the Collision crossover, great bit with Garcia & Private Party rushing out there, and then Cassidy eventually going out there once BCC was on the retreat. As we saw for Collision, the other Faces are expecting Cassidy to step up but he is reluctant to, given his history with the various members of BCC. At some point, The Conglomeration members might also think Cassidy should step up, and he’ll be compelled to fight.
Speaking of Conglomeration, great match from Okada VS O’Reilly, and I do appreciate them pushing this close to the time limit. Great win for Okada, and his card is wide open now, ready to face just about anyone. LFI had a very good promo to follow up what they did on Collision, but also to show Hologram is not out of the woods with them. Hologram might even be the third man alongside FTR to fight the full LFI. Mortos and Undisputed Kingdom also had a great promo together, very funny stuff. That’s also a Six Man Tag we could see, and just about any trio could come out of this to challenge BCC next.
Really good first showing for the #MurderMachines, Archer & Cage, but that combo Blackout Powerbomb needs some work to smooth out the wrinkles. I feel like they’ll be stepping to Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara for the ROH World Tag Team Championships first, given The Bucks are Heels. And great main event from Mariah VS Anna. I am very pleased to see they had Anna win here. It works for Mariah’s character as her arrogance cost her, and now we’ll get an even better title match in a couple weeks. I don’t see Anna winning that one, though, because again, we need to see Mina Shirakawa work her way to the title so she and Mariah can fight it out.
My Score: 8.7/10

Jon Moxley speaks.
“Regarding the AEW World Championship, nothing has changed. Nothing is different. Nothing changed last Saturday night, nothing has changed since the moment I arrived in AEW. Nobody ‘owns’ that belt, it doesn’t belong to anybody. It’s not for Bryan Danielson or anybody else. It’s for the position that only man has sat in that chair. That is me. Somebody spent a lot of money on that belt and it’s really supposed to mean something. It’s just gold and leather, but when I look at it, it is the symbol of everything I hate in this sport. It’s the symbol of everything I’ve been fighting against for years. Everything that AEW was not supposed to be.
“If nobody else is going to say it, I’ll say it. Nothing comes for free in this world. But tonight, we give this Top Flight a gift. A shot at the World Trios Championships, won’t that be so great? They think they’re gonna hit a button, ride up an elevator to the top of this sport, that’s not how this works. There is no elevator. You are standing at the foot of a mountain, and the mountain looks like this.” Moxley points to Pac, Claudio and Yuta in turn. “We will win this war, cuz our cause is just, and our power is pure, and our enemies are weak in spirit. It’s a big night for you, Top Flight, but it is not your coronation. Tonight is a public execution.”
The Maniac paces, and the warning has been issued. Will Action, Darius & Dante still go through with the match?

That match was definitely #OuttaThisWorld, and Ricochet comes out on top! Ricochet grabs a mic to say, “Stockton, what’s good?” Ricochet wants to say that he is here in AEW because this is where the BESTÂ WRESTLE! The fans cheer that! Ricochet says he has yet to be pinned or submitted in this ring. And that’s funny, because there’s someone who keeps putting their nose in his business. The fans should know who. Konosuke Takeshita, it doesn’t matter where you go. You may be champion, but you can go to Canada, Mexico, Japan, or somewhere in the US. Wherever Takeshita goes, Ricochet will be waiting to kick his ass!
Ricochet says it doesn’t matter who has his back, from Don Callis to Kyle Fletcher, because Ricochet will knock down opponent after opponent until he gets Takeshita 1v1 in this ring to become the NEW International Champion! The fans rally behind Ricochet, and Ricochet knows they know. They know that Ricochet isn’t from this planet, he is Outta This World! The fans fire up, but when and where will The One & Only take on The Alpha?
Daniel Garcia & Private Party speak.
Red Death says Moxley and his crew wanna come in and take over AEW. Then they’ve got The Young Bucks & Jack Perry just sitting back, letting it happen. They act like it’s all okay. It’s not. And the thing is, The Elite isn’t willing to handle the responsibility it takes to truly handle those championships. But good news! He and Private Party will relieve them of their duties. Garcia says Zay to talk to ’em. Kassidy says the word isn’t complicit, it is complacent. The Bucks have become complacent cowards! Private Party will not sit back and watch BCC take over AEW. AEW changed Kassidy’s life!
Zay would rather die fighting than watch AEW go down in flames. And if Private Party has to lead by example by beating The Elite’s asses and become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, then so be it! Marq Quen says there you have it. He can’t paint a better picture. And before they beat The Elite’s asses on Dynamite, there’s business to handle tonight. Stockton, the mission continues, let’s get it! Garcia, Quen & Zay are ready, but will the Premier Athletes stand in their way?
Kris Statlander VS Harley Cameron!
The Galaxy’s Greatest is now #BornAgainKristen, and she wants to return to what made her great in the first place. But will she keep her comeback going? Or will this wacky Aussie show one of her many talents is winning?

Kris wins but she’s not done as she grabs the mic. “One thing about me is that I am never afraid to test myself and prove that I am THE toughest and THE strongest here in AEW.” The fans cheer that! Kris says one person has been a real pain in the ass. So Kamille, Kris is calling you out! Time Kamille finally met her match! And as for Mercedes Mone, Kris will make sure you have a front row seat. The Galaxy’s Greatest wants to take on The Brickhouse, but will she make it through that obstacle to then get at The CEO’s TBS Championship?
Six Man Tag: Daniel Garcia & Private Party VS The Premier Athletes!
We just heard from Red Death and friends and they are in a fighting mood. But of course we have to hear from “Smart” Mark Sterling… “Folks, the Premier Athletes have decided to take care of these three punk kids for all the disrespect that they’ve been showing our great EVPs, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson. And of course we’re doing this for an opportunity at what I do best, and that’s climb the corporate ladder!” Now the people here in Stockton are surely just smart enough to play along. When he says, “Athletes!” you say, “Rule!” Nothing else! Hands in. Ohhh~…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling isn’t that smart is he?
The trios sort out, Tony Nese starts against Isiah Kassidy, and they circle. They feel things out, but then Ariya Daivari gets in to CLOBBER Zay! The fans boo as Nese & Daivari stomp Zay.

Zay paces, drags Nese up, then scoops to SLAM!

Nese kicks Zay out, distracts the ref, and The Premier Athletes beat Zay down! Sterling even gets a cheap shot in! The fans boo, Quen & Garcia protest, but the ref has to stop them from getting at Nese. Nese taunts them while Collision goes picture in picture.
Nese fetches Zay into the ring, drags him to the Premier Athlete corner, then tags Woods. Woods fires big hands on Zay, then brings Zay around to bump off buckles. Woods stands on Zay, drags him up, and CLUBS him on the back! Zay sputters, Woods distracts the ref, and Sterling CHOKES Zay on ropes!

Stokely is NOT happy, because this proves Private Party doesn’t need him! They did need this big win, though, and now they’re rolling towards Dynamite! Will these three earn some SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS at The Elite’s championships?
Jake “The Snake” Roberts speaks.
“What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. When Jake Roberts tells you something, you know you can take it to heart. Trust me when It ell you, you cannot outrun the bull. Outrunners, you can run but you cannot hide. Rules and bones were meant to be broken. That’s the reason they made them. Trust me. We’re just here to tear the hell outta everything. That’s what you gotta think about when you step into the ring with us.” When you mess with the bull, you get the horns, so will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd be gored through by La Faccion Ingobernable?
Orange Cassidy VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
Mark Briscoe is facing Chris Jericho in a Ladder War on Dynamite, and Kyle O’Reilly is facing Kazuchika Okada later tonight on Battle of the Belts. Will Freshly Squeezed earn himself a golden opportunity? Wait, Jacked Jameson tells all the “fat morons and skinny idiots” to shut up. He is the Shredded Savage, and these monsters are Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder! But hold up. What he sees in the ring is a member of The Conglomeration, a team featured on every show this company has. Meanwhile, Iron Savages must have been renamed The Melatonin Savages, because they keep getting slept on!
So tonight, the flavor of the Savage Sauce is going to be Orange Crush, because Bronson is gonna crush Orange! They are sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the Low T meat-riders to #TIDDYCITY! Cassidy just sighs, and Jameson keeps talking trash that Bronson’s gonna kill ’em! The bell does ring, Cassidy dodges Bronson, and hits an ORANGE PUNCH on Jameson! Then he dodges Bronson, comes back, ORANGE PUNCH! Bronson staggers around, into BEACH BREAK! Cover, Cassidy wins!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
All that trash talk and what’d it get Jameson? Bronson got beat like he wasn’t even there! Cassidy has win number 175, if you can believe it. Will he finally make it to that world championship level before he hits 200?
Jamie Hayter VS Brooke Havok!
An Open Challenge was put out last night on Rampage, though it was directed mostly at Mrs. Superbad, Penelope Ford. Surprise, surprise, Penelope chose not to answer it. Instead, Brooke is looking to wreak havoc in Stockton, will she bring down a former AEW Women’s World Champion? Or will she learn that Hayter Hits Hard?
The bell rings, the fans rally up, and the two fist bump to show there’s respect. they tie up, Hayter waistlocks and SLAMS Havok. Havok fights up, fires elbows, then runs, but gets run over! Hayter dusts herself off, keeps moving, but Havok drops. Hayter avoids the dropkick, then shrugs. The fans fire up, and Hayter stomps Havok right on the butt.

Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
It was probably over with that Haytbreaker on overdrive, but Hayter punctuates the victory. Wait, Penelope is on the tron. “Oh, hey, Jamie, are you really confused why I attacked you? I’ll tell you why. Because unlike you, most of us have to work for our opportunities. Do you even know who my partner was in my last TV match? You! And you wanna talk about backstabbing b*tches? Well you’re the backstabbing b*tch! I was out for two years, do you know what that does to someone’s mind? And not once did you even check in on me. Meanwhile, you were gone for a year and you come back to a damn parade at Wembley Stadium.”
Penelope says too many have forgotten who she is, especially Hayter. But Penelope is back, and she’ll make sure what two years of pain and anger really looks like. Penelope is here to take everting that Hayter cares about. And she won’t let anyone forget who Penelope Ford is again. Hayter says okay, fine! But will Hayter make sure Penelope regrets calling her out?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Private Party.
Lexy Nair is with the winning side tonight and says that was a phenomenal win. Say that again, say that again! What a PHENOMENAL win! Yes, that’s good! Wait, Cassidy steps in. Garcia says he’s been hoping to talk with him. Cassidy sees what it is like out there, yeah? It isn’t about being a hero, it isn’t about being tough guys. It is about holding each other accountable. They are coming to Cassidy because he’s been there before, he beat all these guys before, and it’s time to step up. Cassidy says yeah, he’s been there before. And every time he steps into the ring with one of those guys, it changes him.
Cassidy says he is no leader. He’s just not that guy. Freshly Squeezed heads out, Garcia is disappointed. But will things change when push comes to shove?
Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Atlantis Jr!
The last time these two met, it was June of this year when The Protostar defended the ROH World Television Championship against the CMLL second generation star.

Or will history repeat itself from the CMLL anniversary show?
Kyle throws his jacket at Atlantis to then CLBOBER him! The bell rings and Kyle rains down furious fists from all side!

I mean I am ready to talk this Wednesday, and you will listen. Especially you, Will!” Kyle claims he will finally tell us why, will anyone like what he says?

Rush fires more hands, then he scuffs Truth. Truth rolls to the apron but Rush drags him back in. Rush clamps on a chinlock and squeezes tight. Truth endures, fights up, but Rush wrangles him back down. Rush leans on the hold, fishhooks Truth to make him smile, but lets go as the ref reprimands.

Sammy Guevara speaks.
“I’ve been here for the past five years. I take a lot of pride in being called an AEW Original. Because of this place, my life changed for the better. So the best way I know how to repay AEW is to make sure every single time I get in that ring, I give you a moment you’ve never seen before. For me, it’s always the same. But the way I get there needs to be different. The way I realize my destiny is by going against the best. And one of the best just had a hell of a debut on Dynamite. He’s a man I watched since I was a kid, so I went to Tony Khan personally and I asked for this match.
This Wednesday, for the first-time ever, live on Dynamite, it’ll be Sammy Guevara VS Shelton Benjamin! Get ready for another moment.” The Spanish God is on his way back, but will he be ready for the Standard of Excellence?
AEW World Trios Championships: Blackpool Combat Club VS Top Flight!
This main event is going to be a Collision for sure! Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac did their best to beat a lot of different teams into submission on Wednesday, but it only stoked the flames of rebellion. Will the Swiss Superman, Decoder & Bastard just have to break their opponents in mind and body? Or will Action, Darius & Dante finally add some gold to their luggage?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really runs things around here!
The trios sort out and Pac starts against Action. They circle, feel things out, then tie up. Pac waistlocks and SLAMS Action, then floats to a facelock. Pac makes it almost a gut wrench, but then he floats around to headlock. Pac grinds Action down, but Action fights up. Pac puts Action on ropes, the ref counts, but Pac backs away at 4. Action watches Pac closely, and then Pac whips. Action reverses to wrench, but Pac wrenches back. Action rolls, handsprings, cartwheels, and wrenches to WRING Pac out! Action then knuckle locks, CHOPS, and he goes up, up and around to FLYING ARM-DRAG! Then DROPKICK!
Action headlocks but Pac RAMS him into the corner! Yuta tags in and fans boo as Yuta fires hands! Yuta digs his knee into Action, lets off as the ref counts, and the ref warns Yuta. Yuta drags Action but Action kicks, KICKS and handsprings over, hot tag to Darius! The fans fire up as Air Wolf SLAMS Yuta down, then rolls to a sunset flip and stack, TWO! Yuta runs up, Darius ducks, dodges and bypasses to DROPKICK! The fans fire up but Claudio tags in! Claudio scoops to SLAM Darius! And then UPPERCUT! Darius sputters, but Claudio storms up on him. Claudio whips, Darius ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Claudio LARIATS!
Claudio hauls Darius up, suplexes, but Darius slips free! Tag to Dante, and he fires hands! The fans fire up but Claudio shoves Dante. Dante dodges to JUPM KNEE! Dante suplexes, but Claudio blocks! Claudio wrenches to LARIAT! Angel Dorado is down but Claudio brings him back up. Claudio suplexes, Darius saves his brother! Claudio runs up, LARIATS Darius but Dante dodges! Dante DROPKICKS Claudio out of the ring! Dante hurries up but Claudio HOTSHOTS him! Darius runs up, Claudio RAMS him back! But Dante runs up, POETRY IN FLIGHT! Dante keeps moving, but Pac trips him up!
The fans boo but Darius WRECKS The Bastard, only for Yuta to CLOBBER him! Action mule kicks Yuta! ARABIAN PRESS! Down goes Yuta and the fans fire up with Th eSight to See! He tells Dante to go, and Dante DIVES, but Claudio catches him! And POSTS him! Top Flight is in trouble while Collision goes picture in picture.
Claudio drags Dante up, fireman’s carries, and marches around the way. Claudio goes up the steps, WASTELAND SLAMS Dante into the ring, then tags Pac. Pac steps in to stomp Dante. Pac drags Dante up, whips him to a corner hard, and Dante tumbles up then down the buckles! Pac paces around like a shark with blood in the water. Pac BOOTS Dante, drags him up again, and bumps him off buckles. Tag to Yuta and Yuta CHOPS! Dante is stinging but Yuta brings him around to hook a leg, FISHERMAN SUPELX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect but Yuta does hold on to the leg., Yuta drags Dante over to tag Claudio.
Claudio takes the other leg, BCC drags Dante to their corner and stomp away! Claudio looms over Dante, but Dante fires body shots! Claudio UPPERCUTS Dante down, stomps him again, then tags Pac. The stomps continue, and then Pac drags Dante up to reel him in. Pac snap suplexes Dante and goes to a corner. Pac runs in, but Dante dodges! Pac hits buckles, but he hurries to stop Dante from getting away! Pac drags Dante away and tags in Claudio! Claudio stomps Dante again, then hauls him up. Claudio ROCKS Dante, fires hands in the corner, then UPPERCUTS! Dante sputters, Claudio stares down Top Flight, and Collision returns to single picture.
Claudio whips Dante corner to corner, runs in, but Dante dodges! Claudio POSTS himself! The fans fire up while Dante crawls! Claudio scrambles back in, hot tags to Yuta and Darius! Darius CLOBBERS Yuta and fires off fast hands! The fans fire up as Darius whips, but Yuta reverses. Darius catches the leapfrog into an atomic drop! BULLDOG HOTSHOT then GAMANGIRI! The fans fire up for the STEP-IN FLATLINER! Darius brings Yuta up, but Yuta JAWBREAKERS! Pac tags in and he runs up on Darius! Darius goes up and over, Action GAMANGIRIS! Pac staggers, Action SHOTGUNS Pac into Darius’ GERMAN SUPLEX!
Pac sputters, the fans fire up, Darius hauls Pac up with a deadlift suplex! Action SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASHES! Cover, Claudio breaks it with a gator roll! And a deadlift POWERBOMB! Darius runs up to fire hands on Claudio! Claudio TOSSES Darius out, and Yuta BUSAIKU KNEES! Dante SUPERKICKS Claudio out! Dante goes up and up, but Pac SHOVES him down! Dante hits apron, but Claudio hauls him up to THRWO into steel steps! The ref reprimands The BCC but Pac CLOBBERS Action! Yuta UPPERCUTS, Claudio UPPERCUTS, Pac UPPERCUTS, repeat! They again and again, UPPERCUT after UPPERCUT! Feed to Pac for a TOMBSTONE! Cover, BCC wins!
Winners: The Blackpool Combat Club, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)
Top Flight just got grounded after BCC railroaded them there! But now they keep on the beating! The fans boo but here comes Moxley! The Maniac himself is here, accompanied by Marina Shafir. They join their team in the ring as the beating continues. Moxley whispers to Pac, and Pac drags Action up. Moxley looks Action in the eyes, and then DECKS him! Claudio continues to hammer away on Darius, but here comes Lio Rush! He gets mugged, but Leila Grey asks they stop. Marina ROUNDHOUSES Leila! Marina TOSSES Leila up, and Collision ends with more mayhem! Who will ever stop the reign of terror that Moxley has started?
My Thoughts:
A really good Collision, with the only real filler being The House of Black winning their squash match. Great match from Ricochet VS Fox with a great win from Ricochet, and a pretty good promo for him to call out Takeshita. If they want to sell what he said, Ricochet should go to the same other promotions Takeshita visits. Like if Takeshita goes back home to Japan and DDT Pro, have Ricochet go after him after a match. And as far as having a match, this should culminate at Full Gear to really stretch out Takeshita trying to avoid Ricochet until he just can’t. Kyle VS Atlantis was also a great match, and great win for Kyle. Kyle saying he’ll tell all on Wednesday is of course going to set up Kyle VS Ospreay, perhaps also for Full Gear.
Very good match from Kris VS Harley, which Kris of course wins. Kris calling out Kamille is great, and a little annoyed they’re making us wait for Fright Night when Kris VS Kamille could just happen next week to give us Kris VS Mone at Fright Night instead. But whatever, this is the usual Tony Khan Women’s Division pacing, because surely Kris VS Mone is what he wants for Full Gear. That does make sense, because for one, Mone as a character would want the big money moment on a PPV, not on TV. And regardless of where/when it happens, it is hard to say that even Face Statlander beats Mone for the TBS Championship.
Harley also had a good moment with Thunder Rosa. Rosa knocking Harley on her ass was great, and Rosa VS Harley will be fun stuff. It can definitely help Rosa get back up and into title conversations, and she should be going for Mone and the TBS title because chasing that history of “first woman to hold both AEW belts” is some good stuff. Meanwhile, Hayter demolished Havok, and she’ll have really good stuff with Penelope Ford, and on a personal level, I do feel for Penelope missing two YEARS of action. Penelope probably wins a match from cheating, but then loses to Hayter in the rematch so that Hayter can go back for a championship.
Great match from LFI VS Outrunners, but the cheating spots LFI pulled off were a bit clunky. LFI of course wins to spark more interaction with FTR, and LFI VS FTR will be great stuff whenever they do it. And then great stuff in this larger story of “Who runs AEW?” Garcia & Private Party had a great promo to call out The Elite, they had a really good match with The Premier Athletes and therefore a really good win over them. Cassidy squashing Bronson while also knocking down Jameson was good stuff. Then Garcia asking Cassidy to take a stand against BCC was good stuff. Cassidy has good reason for wanting to avoid BCC, but Cassidy’s role in this story is now making that random promo with Jerry Lynn work out.
And then speaking of the BCC, very good promo from Moxley to open, and great main event with Top Flight. BCC of course won, but the beatdown that bleeds over into Battle of the Belts is actually pretty good stuff. BCC are just agents of violence and chaos, and they booked the third hour, so might as well segue from one show right into the next.
My Score: 8.8/10
