Trent Baretta VS PAC!

With a rematch waiting for him in Baltimore, The Bastard looks to use Trent as a warm-up! Will Pac send Trent packing as he prepares for Adam Page?

The bell rings as fans cheer for “Best Friends!” seeing Chuckie T and Orange Cassidy ringside. Trent and Pac tie up, Pac wrenches to a wristlock but Trent rolls and wrenches to his own. Pac uses the ropes to flip through to a headlock and takeover, but Trent headscissors. Pac pops out and looms over Trent menacingly. Fans chant, “Pac, You Suck!” but Pac goes out to get in their faces. But Orange Cassidy gets in Pac’s face first! Pac goes back in as Trent slides out, and the chase is on. Things speed up, Trent hurdles but Pac leaps, only for Trent to run him over with an elbow! Trent kicks Pac hard while he’s down, and Pac goes to a corner. Trent CHOPS Pac and “WOO~” echoes out in Charlotte. Trent CHOPS again and Pac goes tot he apron. Pac shoulders back, then slingshots in, but Trent denies the DDT to a Northern Lights Suplex! Bridging cover, TWO!

Pac bails out but Trent pursues, only to get a kick. Pac throws Trent into railing! The ref reprimands Pac but he refreshes the count to go out after Trent again. Pac sends him into more barriers, and hard! Fans still says “Pac, You Suck!” but Pac doesn’t care as he steps on Trent’s head. The ref tells Pac to get this back in the ring, but Pac bumps Trent off apron edge before refreshing the count. Pac scoops Trent by the ramp, but snake eyes him off the railing! And then throw him down by his hair on the ramp! Chuckie protests and the ref tells Pac to get in the ring. Pac leaves Trent down and out and the count begins. Chuckie and fans rally but Pac FLIES to take Trent out with the Fosbury Flop! Pac puts Trent in now, and backs Chuckie off. Pac aims at Trent from the top rope as fans rally up for Trent. Pac still hits the big missile dropkick! Cover, ONE!

Trent flounders to ropes but Pac stomps him down. Pac headlocks and grinds but fans rally up for Trent. Trent fights his way up, throws hands and a CHOP! Pac hits back with forearms and he backs Trent down. Pac whips Trent hard corner to corner! Trent tumbles up, down and into a German Suplex! Bridging cover, TWO! Chuckie gets Charlotte rallying up again and Pac is annoyed. Pac drops knees on Trent then puts on a chinlock. Pac digs his knee into Trent’s back as fans boo and jeer. Trent endures and feeds off the energy of the fans. Trent stands up, fights back but Pac hits back! Pac whips, Trent reverses, but Trent is put on the apron for a hotshot! Pac aims but Orange Cassidy slides in? Cassidy stands in Pac’s way while Chuckie distracts the ref. Cassidy unleashes the Sloth kicks! He’s “lighting” Pac up, but Pac BOOTS him down!

Pac still lives!

Trent grits his teeth as fans rally behind him. Pac rolls away to the outside but Trent pursues, only to get caught into a suplex, BRAIN BUSTER! Both men are down and the ref checks on them. They’re both okay to continue, and starts a new ring count. Pac rises at 2 and Trent stirs at 4. They stand at 5 and Pac puts Trent in at 6. Pac climbs up to the top rope, Trent is in the drop zone… BLACK ARROW! Cover, TWO!? Pac is furious, he puts Trent in the Brutalizer!! Trent passes out, Pac wins!!

Winner: PAC, by submission

Chuckie T protests Pac holding on longer, but Pac does let go. He grabs a mic to shout at Carolina to “shut your stinkin’ mouth!” Pac sends a message to Hangman Page! He heard what Hangman said, and that “naughty swear word,” but it won’t matter! At Full Gear, “I’m going to make an example of you. Again!”

Cody Rhodes is here!

The American Nightmare rises from his special underground platform, and heads to the ring to talk with Tony Schiavone again. This is, of course, a second attempt at what Cody was going to announce a couple weeks ago. It is fitting that they are in the birthplace of Cody himself as he finally gives this announcement. “We’re not surprised the arrival of Chris Jericho and the Inner Circle has been strategic.” But this is a short victory lap. The Elite was already looking for something like this. They were already looking for a card where they could get perfect match-ups for the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Hangman Page, even Cody and Dustin Rhodes. So they were looking, and Jericho found them. Now it is Cody and the AEW World Champion as the headliners. Tony knows what this announcement is but Cody hopes the fans will humor him as he rattles off some names.

Eddie Graham. Cowboy Bill Watts. The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes. “All of them were titans in our business.” The best bell to bell, best in the box office, “and for those who saw them live, those memories reverberate in their hearts.” But for the cold, sterile historians, there is controversy because those men were also management. Cody finds himself in the same spot. For the last year, Cody has told everyone who asked that he is proud of AEW, the inclusiveness, the pay, the schedule, the fact that they’ll listen! “This is freedom!” Fans give a standing ovation! But when Cody hears the criticism being sent at him, he can’t ignore it. But fans say that “You Deserve It!” to be a challenger. However, Cody’s announcement is that if he fails to win, he will never challenge for the title again. Fans don’t like that decision.

But Cody tells Jericho that is a big “if.” Jericho calls Cody an “entitled Millennial b*tch,” and yet Cody didn’t see in Jericho’s book, A Lion’s Tale, which is on sale at Amazon for $3, that there was the upbringing for Jericho that was so hard. Wow, must have been so hard being the son of a famous hockey player! They practically had the same silver spoon, “you stupid dick!” Jericho dismissed every accomplishment Cody has achieved. If Cody is entitled, then Jericho is a “carny succubus” because the dirty secret is Jericho needs this generation more than this generation needs him. This isn’t about Cody’s dad, but about his mother, his sister, his wife, and the 14 years it took Cody to go from “Undesirable to Un-God-Damn-DENIABLE!” Charlotte gives an even stronger ovation for this!

Cody promises that at Full Gear, he wins to become the new world champion, and Jericho falls back to his Inner Circle about the ground swell that’s coming. Because when The Elite finally gets at The Inner Circle, “we are going to eat you alive!!” The declaration of war has been given! Will Cody fire the first shot dethroning Le Champeon?

The Lucha Brothers and SoCal Uncensored are here!

Pentagon and Fenix may not be AEW World Tag Team Champions but they’re going to get another chance at Full Gear. However, we know that there is a “Bronze Medal” match that will determine the team that joins them and SCU in a Tag Team Triple Threat. However, the deciding factor was a quick one, so that is why we are getting this Full Gear match at all. At this moment, SCU joins English commentary while Lucha Brothers join Spanish commentary to watch this match very closely.

Bronze Medal Match: Private Party VS The Dark Order!

Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy take on Evil Uno and Stu Grayson, both teams vying for a second chance of their own! Who moves on to face the top two teams of AEW for a chance to be THE team of AEW?

The bronze medals are raised and the team sort out. Stu starts against Quen, and he CLOBBERS Quen with forearms the moment the bell rings! Stu tackles Quen to the Dark Order corner and Uno tags in. Uno fires off haymakers then whips Stu in for a big corner splash. Stu feeds Quen to Uno’s full body attack, then Uno feeds Quen to Stu’s boot! Tag to Stu but Quen fights back with forearms! Stu pushes Quen but Kassidy tags in. Quen atomic drops, and Kassidy gives a squealing enziguri! Kassidy sits Stu up for Quen to leap frog STOMP down! Fans cheer, and SCU give Private Party their props. But the Dark Order regroups and their creepers create a wall to protect them. Uno runs in but Stu sneaks up on Kassidy. Kassidy was ready and gives forearm “Shots! Shots! Shots!” Kassidy squeals again, but swings into a BIG urenage!

Stu tags Uno and Uno drags Kassidy up for a backbreaker! Uno chokes Kassidy on the ropes but lets up at 4, and tags in Stu. Fans rally up for Private Party but the Dark Order double whip. Kassidy slips out of the slam to kick at Stu. Stu blocks and ducks the enziguri, but it goes into Uno! Kassidy slips under Stu but Stu turns him around. Uno gets up but Kassidy hits him first! Stu tackles Kassidy and throws him out. Uno trips Kssidy while Stu talks trash to Quen! Fans boo as the Dark Order get away with that one. Stu slingshots for a senton on the apron! The Dark Order has control and the fans booing as AEW goes to break.

AEW returns and Uno drags Kassidy up to rake the back! Fans boo but Kassidy runs at Uno! Uno holds him back and turns him around but Kassidy resists the suplex. Kassidy tries to suplex, and he gets Uno up and over! Fans rally up as Kassidy and Uno crawl, hot tags to Stu and Quen! But Quen runs into a LARIAT! Uno scoops Quen and Stu hops up, flying elbow sidewalk slam combo! Cover, TWO! Tag to Uno and then tag back to Stu. Stu goes up top again as Uno has Quen in the Gory Especial! But Quen denies Fatality and dropkicks Uno back! Stu hops down but gets Party in Motion! Quen boots Uno, hops up, QUEBRADA! The Dark Order regroup outside, Quen flicks the tails to FLY! A two-for-one conjilo! Quen puts Stu in, rallies with clotheslines and a leg lariat, but Stu puts him on the apron. Quen springboards back in for the crossbody! Cover, TWO!

Quen drags Stu up and over, tag to Kassidy. Private Party double whips but Stu crisscrosses and dodges to DOUBLE PELE! Tag to Uno, Uno drags Kassidy up to a fireman’s carry. He pops Kassidy up, folds him, One Winged SHOULDER BREAKER! Cover, but Quen breaks it! Uno tags Stu and Kassidy tags Quen! Quen runs into an uppercut, knee, and then Uno kangaroos Quen into Stu’s overhead suplex! Quen lands on Kassidy! Stu climbs up and Uno runs corner to corner, 450 over the CANNONBALL! Cover on Quen, TWO!! Private Party still lives! Stu tags Uno and SCU gives Private Party credit for the toughness. Stu pops Quen up to the Electric Chair, tosses him to Uno, but Quen turns powerbomb into huricanrana, and Dark Order bumps heads! Tag to Kassidy, and he springboards, into Stu’s KNEE! Uno tags Stu in, Gory Especial, but Quen trips Stu!

Uno hits Quen but Quen helps Kassidy with SILLY STRING DDT! Tag to Quen, he aims at Stu, GIN ‘N’N JUICE!! The cutter hits, Quen covers, Private Party wins!!

Winners: Private Party, Quen pinning; joins the AEW World Tag Team Championship match

The Triple Threat is set! And all three teams meet face-to-face-to-face in the ring! SCU hold up the belts but the fans are dueling! Will the young underdogs rise up to the top against two incredible veteran teams? Will Pentagon and Fenix make history after all by being duel tag team champions? Or will SCU continue to be the one and only AEW World Tag Team Champions?

AEW shares a video from The Inner Circle.

Sammy Guevara brought some “options for the bubbly” over to Le Champeon. But Chris Jericho, immediately parodying Cody Rhodes, “can’t focus” but does give Sammy a peck on the cheek. Sammy says Jericho is like a father to him. Hearing that Cody would be Jericho’s challenger at Full Gear, Sammy knew it was already over for Cody. Jericho also parodies spending time in the hyperbaric chamber. Jericho is the face of the company as champion, and being champion means he’s face of the company. Soultrain Jones has known Jericho since he was 12 years old, and he was as driven then as he is now.

Santana dares us to name another man that works harder than Jericho. Cody has to just let go and move on. Ortiz says Jericho is a grown man but Cody is a boy. Cody has no chance. Patricia Bobski, a friend of Jericho’s aunt from church, remembers Jericho as a young boy, and knew he’d grow up to be the AEW World Champion. In her heart, she prays that Cody just survives. Sammy says Jericho is in the prime of his life at 48, “they youngest AEW World Champion in history” (mostly because he’s still the only one in history). Jake Hager has nothing to say. Jones knows Jericho is the Greatest of All Time. Jericho has a training montage. Patricia knows Jericho will “beat the sh*t out of Cody at Full Gear.” Le Champeon speaks for himself, saying he has such a hard time waking up and realizing how amazing he is. Hager still has nothing to say.

Jones says Jericho’s talent is like the Olive Garden’s bread sticks: unlimited. Jericho only has one thing on his plate: drinking a bit of the bubbly. He has to worry about where to go for the best, and that’s a lot of pressure. But it is the responsibility Jericho has to face. “Because I am Le Champeon.” Jokes aside, will Jericho be laughing after facing a motivated Cody at Full Gear?

Jamie Hayter & Emi Sakura VS Riho & Shanna!

Emi and Riho prepare to face off for the AEW Women’s World Championship as mentor and student, but they also bring in two recently debuting women to help them warm up. Will the challenging mentor or the champion student gain a last bit of momentum before Baltimore?

Riho and Emi start, already giving us a preview of Full Gear. They tie up and Emi throws Riho down hard. Riho is right up and they tie up again. Riho waistlocks but Emi reaches back to headlock and takeover. Riho headscissors, Emi pops out but Riho sweeps the legs to cover, ONE! Emi sweeps and covers but Riho Matrix slips out, only for Emi to grab her hair! Emi CHOPS Riho in the corner, then uses the hair to snapmare! The ref reprimands Emi but she just scrapes her boot on Riho. Emi laughs as she uses Riho’s hair to TOSS her! Hayter attacks out of nowhere! Emi whips Riho but Riho handsprings past to knee her down! Riho tags in Shanna and now Portugal’s Perfect Athlete whips Emi. Emi reverses, but Shanna reverses to uppercut!

Shanna snapmares then runs to basement dropkick! Cover, ONE! Fans rally as Shanna throws forearms on Emi. Shanna wrenches and whips but Emi reverses, only for Shanna to break free and kick back! Shanna runs again, to hit a rolling neckbreaker! Cover, TWO! Emi escapes but Shanna drags her up to tag in Riho. Riho and Shanna double whip, double kick, and double bulldog! Hayter protests but Riho runs for Shanna to use her as the human weapon, wheelbarrow splash! Cover, TWO! Riho drags Emi up and rams in for a Northern Lights, but Emi blocks and rakes Riho’s back!

Emi CHOPS Riho, then runs, but Riho drop toeholds Emi onto ropes! Riho runs, 619 but it’s blocked! Emi butterfly draping backbreakers! Tag to Hayter, and Hayter drags Riho up for a hard snap suplex! And another! Fans boo but Hayter mockingly asks Riho if she’s okay. Hayter stomps Riho over and over as AEW goes picture in picture.

Hayter tags in Emi and Emi drags Riho up to whip. Emi dropkicks Riho down then drags her around. Emi hooks the legs and grabs the arms, for the Romero Special! Riho endures the Mexican Surfboard, but then Emi make sit a rolling Romero! Emi TOSSES Riho then tags in Hayter. Hatyer drags Riho up into a camel clutch, and pulls at Riho’s mouth. The ref counts and Hayter lets up at 4, to give Riho a double Wet Willy! Hayter stomps Riho down then wraps her up in a thrashing chinlock. Riho endures even as Hayter grinds her down. Hayter keeps Riho away from ropes to then elbow away on Riho’s shoulder. Hayter pets Riho mockingly before dragging her up for a hard scoop slam! And then another! Hayter drags Riho up a third time for another thrashing chinlock! Riho endures as fans rally and AEW returns to single picture.

Riho reaches with a leg and gets the ropebreak! Hayter lets go long enough to drag Riho back up, but Riho hits back! Riho runs, and tilt-o-whirls to headscissor Hayter down! But Emi stomps Riho down! Emi scoops but Riho slips out to wheelbarrow, victory roll to STOMPS! Riho crawls, hot tag to Shanna! Shanna fires off on Hayter with forearms and CHOPS! Fans fire up as Shanna goes corner to corner for a big forearm smash! And another! Shanna hits another and drops Hayter! Cover, TWO! Fans rally with Shanna as she drags Hayter up.

But that’s not all, underhooks to butterfly DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Emi survives but Shanna keeps on her with a full nelson.

Riho aims at Emi, but the meteora misses! Emi sunset flips, TWO! Riho rolls Emi up, TWO! Emi spins Riho to a backslide, but then rolls to La Magistrol! Emi and Hayter win!!

Winners: Emi Sakura & Jamie Hayter, Sakura pinning

If Emi can use a chaotic combination like that, she might become the new AEW Women’s World Champion! Can Riho rebound in Baltimore against the woman who taught her so much?

Brandi Rhodes continues her dark transformation.

“I have worked so hard to get to where I am today, and yet I’m still constantly dismissed for my merit because of who I am.” She’s only here because of Cody, is just another pretty face. While they were all trying to paint her as the clown, they forgot one thing: “Calling me stupid doesn’t make that so, and now I’ve outsmarted you quicker than you can say ‘bimbo.'” Brandi knows dreams and nightmares, but there is nothing like a night terror. Awesome Kong’s body, Brandi’s brain, and they will tear apart the dreams and make everyone long for nightmares. Brandi doesn’t have authority, not that she’s ever really wanted or needed it. All Brandi needs is lapsed judgement. “They can’t stop her, you can’t deny us.” So the question is: “Who are the bullies now?” Will Brandi and Awesome Kong answer that with actions in the ring?

Brandon Cutler VS Shawn Spears w/ Tully Blanchard!

The Dungeon Master is back, but he might need a saving throw against The Chairman! For those who didn’t see AEW Dark, Spears literally burned The Bad Boy, and he might just do the same to Cutler tonight. Will #PERFECT10N not be denied tonight?

The bell rings and Spears circles with Cutler. They tie up, Spears wristlocks and brings Cutler down to the mat. Cutler gets up, rolls, handsprings and wrenches back. Spears spins and wrenches to a hammerlock and then a forearm! Cutler gets to a corner as Spears gives him the 10 fingers. Cutler fires up to fire off haymakers!

AEW previews Moxley VS Omega, Lights Out!

In other words, it is UNSANCTIONED! Kenny Omega doesn’t want Jon Moxley pretending to be upset that this is now a hardcore style match. “What else were you going to do?” Chain wrestle the Best Bout Machine? Moxley claims he is being treated as a freak, an outsider, being put in a corner. He’s been dealing with this his whole life. Though at the same time, his whole life has been hardcore to the extreme, and is “the baddest son of a b*tch in this game.” Omega thanks Moxley. Omega’s best work wasn’t because he was handed something, but because he had to work for and sacrifice it. Moxley’s at his best when he’s at his worst. Moxley doesn’t want to find someone who brings the best out of him, but who brings the worst out of him. “You ain’t seen nothing yet!” Omega is glad to be going to a dark place with Moxley. But what will we see from two of the best when they get to do the absolute worst to each other?

Kenny Omega & Hangman Page VS Sammy Guevara and Chris Jericho!

Before going #LightsOut with the Death Rider, the Best Bout Machine again teams with the Problem Solver to see if they can’t stick it to the Inner Circle this close to Full Gear. Will we see some #RealCowboyShit before Page takes on Pac? Or will the “Spanish God” and Le Champeon get to pop a little bit of the bubbly even before Baltimore?

Of course, Jericho has the savage Jake Hager with him, so anything could happen. This main event will use TV time remaining, after the break.

AEW returns again and fans jeer Le Champeon. Sammy starts against Omega at the bell, but Omega wants to have a quick rematch with Jericho. Jericho tags in and fans are thunderous! Until Jericho tags back out to Sammy. Omega keeps his cool as he circles with Sammy, and they tie up. Fans clap the Terminator drums as Omega puts Sammy on the ropes. Sammy gets around to a waistlock and slams Omega down, then floats to a facelock. Omega pries out to a wrench and wristlock, and then drags Sammy down to float to his own facelock. Sammy pries out to a wristlock, then wrenches to ring Omega out. Cover, ONE, but Sammy keeps on Omega with a facelock. Sammy shifts to another wristlock, but Omega slips through to wrench back.

The Elite regroups while the Inner Circle go to the ring. And then it explodes into another huge brawl!! Everything is coming to a head at Full Gear, which side of this stands tall?!

My Thoughts:

WOW what a great go-home! Everything was dripping with importance, nothing was filler. Pac beating Trent in a real good match and calling out Hangman. The huge announcement of a Triple Threat Tag for the titles already, and Private Party is part of that. They had a great match with Dark Order, and will be a great part of that match, but I can’t say they actually win. They might be there so that if SCU retains, or even crazier, if Lucha Brothers win to be dual champions, it is Private Party that takes the pin. The women’s tag was solid stuff, and Emi actually pinning Riho, that could be a giveaway that Riho retains in her first PPV defense. At the same time, AEW does things differently, it might have been a tease of an even bigger finish.

Spears VS Cutler was of course going Spears’ way, and great to see Janela respond from AEW Dark already. Give us THAT Unsanctioned Match for the post Full Gear episode! Brandi probably doesn’t need this spooky side to her, but her Heel motivation does work. No one should discount her just for being Mrs. Rhodes, and I’m sure she and Awesome Kong will get much more involved after Full Gear towards the next PPV. Cody had probably the best promo of 2019 tonight, and perhaps of his entire career. And those are big stakes, saying he’ll never ever challenge for the AEW World Championship again if he loses. I don’t know if that guarantees he wins or guarantees he loses, but I love that there’s more to this than just Cody proving something to us and himself and to Jericho.

Jericho’s parody of the Cody hype package was amazing. Heel or not, Jericho is always over for his ability to entertain. And we got a really good match out of him, Sammy, Omega and Hangman, and then that brawl was amazing! It managed to encapsulate all the stories, and it helps make the math a bit vague since there was no real end to it on air. Full Gear is going to be a great one-month marker for AEW, and greatly deserved.

My Score: 9.2/10

Darby Allin speaks.

“Tonight I win back the championship that changed my life from Christian Cage and Luchasaurus. I’m not a stupid man, I know this is gonna be a Handicap match. But I am gonna walk out the new Face of TNT.

Christian Cage speaks.

“Tonight on Collision, Darby, you’re challenging myself and Luchasaurus in a three way match for the TNT Championship. Let me remind you that Sting is not allowed at ringside and I don’t like your chances. We will remain the Face of TNT now and forever. Do you understand me?”

Ricky Starks speaks.

“Bryan Danielson, you have never tapped me out. I passed out. You’re talking to a guy that’s been to Heaven, so if you’re looking test God, look no further than Absolute Ricky Starks. Tonight, I put you six feet under.”

Bryan Danielson speaks.

“Ricky Starks, you’re in a lot of trouble for challenging me to a Texas Death Match. A match where to win, you have to knock somebody down and keep them down. Here’s the thing, people have been trying to keep me down my entire career, and nobody has succeeded yet. And Ricky, you sure as Hell won’t succeed tonight either.” Will the American Dragon once again slay the Absolute?

AEW TNT Championship Triple Threat: Luchasaurus VS Christian Cage VS Darby Allin!

As the Relentless One just said, this might as well be a Handicap Match, because you can bet Captain Charisma and his Right Hand of Destruction are united in destroying Darby. Will Darby even survive this match? Or will he find a way back to former glory?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who really wears that title after this!

The bell rings and Darby is wary of his enemies. Fans rally for Darby, but Christian bails so this turns into a 1v1 match. Luchasaurus and Darby circle, and Luchasaurus taunts Darby with a test of strength. Darby throws POCKET SAND! And then he DIVES onto Christian! Darby RAMS Christian into steel steps, then puts him in the ring! Darby hurries to CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Darby keeps moving and he DIVES onto Luchasaurus! Down goes the dinosaur! But Christian pokes Darby in the eyes, and HOTSHOTS him to the floor! Luchasaurus is up and he drags Darby over to RAM into railing!

Fans rally for Darby but Luchasaurus is on him again! Luchasaurus whips Darby into more railing! Fans actually duel as Luchasaurus fetches a chair for Christian then puts Darby in. Christian soaks up the cheers and jeers, then he sits Darby in the chair to CHOKE him on the ropes! Christian stands on Darby, the ref reprimands but there’s nothing to be done in a Triple Threat. Christian drags Darby up, and CHOKES him against the chair’s back! Christian says Darby did this to himself. But then Darby throws hands! Luchasaurus CHOKES Christian, then BACK SUPLEXES him and the chair!

Luchasaurus goes to cover but Christian tells him no, they need to do more damage. Luchasaurus goes out to fetch more items, but Christian covers Darby! TWO! Darby is still in this but Christian TOSSES him out! Christian goes out to stand Darby up, and CHOPS him against the railing! Darby staggers, Christian and Luchasaurus surround him, then they double whip him hard into steel steps! Darby tumbles up and over, fans boo Christian, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Christian flexes, then stalks Darby. Christian SMACKS Darby off steps, then Luchasaurus brings Darby around to CHOP against the apron. Darby flops over and Christian is there to whip him into more railing! Darby staggers all around, Christian & Luchasaurus stalk him to the other corner. Christian gets the chair again to JAM Darby! And again! Darby staggers and stumbles away but Christian follows after. Christian pushes Darby into the ring, then brings him up. Christian has Luchasaurus stand back. Christian talks trash right to Darby’s face, pie faces him and smears the face pain before he CHOPS and CHOPS!

Christian tells Luchasaurus what to do, then he runs at Darby. Darby dodges to send Christian out! Darby fires off on Luchasaurus, but Luchasaurus shoves him back and HEADBUTTS him down! Luchasaurus stands on Darby’s back! Darby endures, even as Luchasaurus steps all over him! Darby crawls to a corner, Luchasaurus brings him up and Christian throws hands on Darby! Collision returns to single picture as the mugging moves to the corner. Fans boo as Christian & Luchasaurus double whip Darby into a corner. Luchasaurus runs in but Darby dodges and Luchasaurus POSTS himself!

Fans fire up as Christian runs in, Darby dodges and he POSTS himself! Roll up, TWO! Oklahoma roll, TWO! Christian kicks low to suplex, but Darby slips out, SCORPION DEATH DROP! Fans fire up as Darby climbs! But Luchasaurus drags Christian to safety! So Darby just SUPER COFFIN SPLASHES!! Fans are thunderous as both men go down! Darby puts Luchasaurus in the ring, climbs up, and Luchasaurus stands. Darby MISSILE- NO, Luchasaurus catches him! JURASSIC- NO, Darby slips out! Darby BOOTS Luchasaurus, then hits a DIAMOND DUST! But Christian has the title belt!

Christian aims but Darby ducks! SHOTGUN! Down goes Christian! Darby runs in but Luchasaurus catches him, JURASSIC CHOKE SLAM! Darby flops out of the ring and Luchasaurus sees the belt. It is rightfully his, so he picks it up! Fans cheer that he finally holds HIS belt! Christian storms in but Luchasaurus won’t give it back! Christian asks for the belt back, fans say “IT’S YOUR BELT! IT’S YOUR BELT!” Luchasaurus still hands the belt over to Christian, but then Darby shoves Christian into Luchasaurus! And then Darby BELT SHOTS Luchasaurus!! Cover, TWO?!? Luchasaurus survives but Darby PENALTY KICKS!

Darby goes up to COFFIN DROP!! But Christian returns to POST Darby! Cover on Luchasaurus, CHRISTIAN WINS!!

Winner: Christian Cage, by pinfall (NEW AEW TNT Champion)

Well, at least now Christian will be rightfully holding onto this belt. Sleazy as he is, Captain Charisma truly reigns as the Face of TNT, will Darby have to move on to a new goal? As for Luchasaurus, he sees Christian’s hand be raised, and then Christian hugs him? Well, when one wins, they both win, right? Christian has Luchasaurus lift him onto his shoulders, then Christian raises the belt high above his head. Will Luchasaurus ever be his own man? Er, dinosaur.

Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.

Alex Marvez is with Konosuke Takeshita, Sammy Guevara and Don Callis himself, and says that the wrestling world is buzzing with what we saw on Rampage. Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho are united, along with Kota Ibushi, and challenged the DCF for WrestleDream! Don says it makes him sick just thinking about Omega and Jericho on the same side, when Don is the one who put them both on the map! And now, they’re name dropping Kota Ibushi. Ibushi is a wrestling legend, but his weakness is Kenny Omega. Kenny Omega loves Kota Ibushi, they are closer than brothers, and that kind of emotion makes them weak! They always have been!

Don isn’t worried. As great as Omega, Jericho and Ibushi are, Don has Sammy Guevara, who left Jericho laying. Don has Konosuke, “The Alpha,” who earned that name when he beat Omega twice in one week! And Don has another family member. This man beat Jericho and Omega in the course of two months, and that is WILL OSPRAEY! So you want WrestleDream to become a nightmare? Don doesn’t think so. Omega, Ibushi & Jericho will face the strongest Don Callis Family ever! See you in Seattle, where they finish it once and for all!!

Backstage interview with Christian & Luchasaurus.

Collision returns as Tony Schiavone congratulates the NEW TNT Champion. Christian says yes, every legitimate title defense has solidified him as the UNDISPUTED TNT Champion! He dedicates this victory to Nick Wayne’s mom, and Nick Wayne’s late father, who must’ve been cheering Christian on from Heaven. But anyway, Christian is finally finished with Darby once and for all, bring on the next challenger! Actually, Tony Khan just announced that Christian’s first defense will be at WrestleDream in Seattle. And it will be a classic match-up. They’ve gone back and forth, so this will be BEST 2 OUT OF 3 FALLS!

Christian is furious! He storms off to find Tony Khan, but will it matter? Will Darby finally have justice against Captain Charisma?

Hook & Rob Van Dam VS Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker w/ Jake Hager & Anna Jay!

The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil just beat the former Jericho Appreciation Society members last night in a Mixed Six Tag with help from his new friends. But now he joins forces with an old friend of his dad’s! Will Hook and RVD prove they’re a one of a kind team? Or will they underestimate the sports… enner-tay-ners?

The teams sort out and fans are fired up for RVD already. RVD lets Hook start against Daddy Magic, though, and fans still rally behind Hook. They tie up, Menard arm-drags, and Menard gloats. Fans boo but Hook resets with Menard. They tie up, Hook waistlocks, hammerlocks, and he trips Menard to a facelock. Menard fights up but Hook spins and hammerlocks and headlocks and hits the takeover! Hook then goes for an arm, but Menard fights against the top wristlock. Menard knees low, tags Parker, and Parker whips. Hook holds ropes, ELBOWS Parker back, but Anna trips Hook up! Parker CLOBBERS Hook and stomps away!

Fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Parker tags Menard. They double whip Hook to a corner, Parker whips so Menard can whip him into the corner but Hook dodges! Hook then wrenches Menard, and points to the corner! Fans fire up as Hook tags in RVD! RVD takes the handoff, he wrenches to a wristlock and fans rally up. RVD brings Menard around, arm-drags him away, but then Parker CLOBBERS RVD! Fans boo but Menard throws hands. Menard whips, RVD rolls off Menard’s back and body scissor roll-up! TWO, but RVD blocks a kick to WHEEL KICK! Parker kicks RVD, but RVD blocks the buckle bump and KICKS back!

RVD goes up to JUMP KICK! “You Still Got It!” RVD watches the ex-JAS regroup, but they get away before he can dive! So he just gets everyone to join in on a “ROB! VAN! DAM!” Hager throws a fit for his team, but Collision goes picture in picture.

RVD waits as Menard & Parker talk strategy. Menard slowly returns, talks some trash, and he seems to call out Hook. RVD obliges and tags Hook in. Hook and Menard circle, then Menard kicks low! Menard whips Hook into Parker’s boot! The ref reprimands but Menard stomps Hook around. Menard soaks up the cheers and jeers, and then distracts the ref so Parker can CHOKE Hook! RVD protests but Parker tags in to throw hands. Parker JABS, then whips Hook to DROPKICK him down! Cover, TWO! Hook is still in this while Collision goes to break.

Collision returns as Parker tags Menard. They double whip Hook but Hook holds ropes to KICK Menard and TOSS Parker! Menard rushes in but Hook TOSSES him out! Hook hurries but Parker intercepts with a tackle! Fans boo but Parker drags Hook away from RVD. Hook wrenches free, clinches, and hits the EXPLODER! Fans fire up while Hook and Parker are down! Hook crawls, Anna shouts at Parker to move, but Menard crawls in as fast as he can. Hot tag to RVD! RVD rallies on Daddy Magic! Then he SUPERKICKS Cool Hand Ange! WHEEL KICK for Menard! RVD runs, for the ROLLING THUNDER!

RVD covers but Menard kicks it apart! Fans boo Menard but he brings RVD up. Menard scoops, RVD slips free and blocks a kick to step over and WHEEL KICK! Fans fire up as RVD goes to a corner. But then Anna distracts the ref and Hager has a chair! RVD dodges to KICK the chair into Hager! Hook gets in Anna’s face, Parker storms up on him, but Hook turns it around, REDRUM!! RVD goes up, takes aim, FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!! Cover, #HookVanDam wins!

Winners: Hook & Rob Van Dam, by pinfall

Michigan’s own comes back home and wins big! Will RVD have one more title run in him? Will Hook’s newest run not be stopped?

Eddie Kingston speaks.

He has two titles to defend now, with the ROH World Championship in one hand and the NJPW Strong Openweight Championship in the other. And he knows WrestleDream is AEW’s love letter to the late, great Antonio Inoki. The Mad King wants to face the man who best embodies Inoki’s vision today, and that is Katsuyori Shibata. This won’t be just about the NJPW Openweight but also the ROH World title. He wants Shibata to bring his all because that’s what Eddie is gonna do. But then, will Eddie remain the two belt king? Or will we soon see The Wrestler become a TRIPLE CHAMPION?

The Dark Order speaks.

John Silver says, “This world has gotten outta control.” Alex Reynolds says it’s just too much, too fast, and it needs to stop. Evil Uno asks us who we will turn to “when it’s all done?” Happy music plays over destruction and desolation. “You need structure. You need rules. You need order. The Dark Order! Because The Dark Order is good! And we’re here for you!” Uno sneaks in some Italian, “But not forever.” Will you trust these creepy grins? Will you #JoinDarkOrder?

The Kingdom speaks.

Matt Taven says “Neck health is important!” Best Friends are a bunch of liars! When Trent hurt his neck, was Chuck by his bedside? NO! And now these Melvins wanna take away what The Kingdom earned, what they deserve, their shot at the ROH World Tag Team titles!? They will show these dorks what people who don’t celebrate neck health deserve! And Mike Bennett says Chuckie T got some of that last night. A punch to the wiener and a piledriver! So next Saturday is piledrivers in support of neck health! And then they will see how close Best Friends really are, how strong they really are. They aren’t stronger than The Kingdom, and they damn sure ain’t #NeckStrong!

Julia Hart w/ Brody King VS Kiera Hogan!

The Lady of the House was truly Hartless against Skye Blue last night, bringing out The Babe with The Power. However, Willow Nightingale was then attacked backstage to keep her from competing tonight! So Skye’s other friend is stepping up! Will the Hottest Flame burn this witch down? Or will the House always win?

The bell rings and Kiera rushes up to ROCK Julia! And again and again! The fans rally up as Kiera whips Julia into ropes, runs side to side and HIP ATTACKS! Kiera bumps Julia off buckles, waistlocks, but Julia bucks the O’Conner. Julia runs up to throw Kiera down by her hair! Fans rally, Julia stands on Kiera’s hair and pulls the arms! The ref reprimands, Julia steps off at 4 to then stomp Kiera down! Brody says to stay on her so Julia CLUBS away on Kiera! Julia kicks Kiera around, drags her up and SMACKS her off the mat! Julia stomps Kiera again, drags her back up, then snap suplexes! Julia grins as she then rains down fists!

The ref reprimands about closed fists so Julia lets off. To then let off with one more! Julia paces around Kiera, brings her up, but Kiera throws hands! Kiera ROCKS Julia, BOOTS her, then ROUNDHOUSES! Julia wobbles, Kiera runs in, but Julia spins Kiera for an STO! Standing MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Kiera is still in this but Julia is still on her with a chinlock! Kiera endures, fans rally up, and Kiera fights up. Kiera throws body shots, blocks a punch to give a punch, then ducks ‘n’ dodges to CLOBBER Julia! And again! Kiera runs in to SHOTGUN Kiera into the corner! Fans fire up as Kiera goes corner to corner, but Julia sends her into buckles!

Julia drags Kiera up to throw her by her hair again. Brody says keep on Kiera, so Julia whips her to a corner. BACK ELBOW! Julia grins as she snapmares, and then KICKS Kiera in the back! Julia drags Kiera up, SMACKS her off the mat, and then runs, to BLINDSIDER! Julia says the House always wins. HARTLESS STRETCH!! Kiera taps, Julia wins!

Winner: Julia Hart, by submission

A 25-0 win streak for The Lady of the House, but she isn’t satisfied! She puts Kiera back into HARTLESS!! But here comes Skye Blue! She was on the other end of this so she’s making the save now! But again, Julia hides behind Brody. But then Brody moves and Julia BLACK MISTS Skye!! Julia strikes again! Brody asks, “Do you see this? Do you see this!? This will not end! This violence will not end! 25 matches, over two dozen bodies stacked, and this will not end until we get to the one. The last loss! KRIS STATLANDER! Next Sunday, Seattle, Washington, WrestleDream, put your TBS title on the line. Or the body count continues to rise.”

But Julia wants Kris to understand: The House ALWAYS wins. Will the Galaxy’s Greatest look to end the streak? Or will the TBS Championship fade to black?

The Righteous speak.

Death walks. You dig what they’re saying? Ol’ Vincent & Dutch are pure, are divine, and are the corpse of decency nailed to a post of greed and moral decay, draped under the shadow of purity. But now they expose MJF & Adam Cole, and purify the lie that is “Better Than You, Baybay.” You dig what they’re sayin’, man?

Jay White w/ Bullet Club Gold VS Andrade El Idolo!

The Switchblade and his Bang Bang Gang called out The Face of Latino Wrestling, saying White’s reputation is more widespread than Andrade’s. Will White make Andrade famous for losing to him? Or will Andrade become famous for beating Jay White?

The bell rings and the fans already taunt the “ASS~ BOYS~!” White says this is Andrade’s moment in the spotlight! They tie up, go around, and Andrade powers White to the corner. The ref counts, Andrade lets off slowly, but White SLAPS him! White uses ropes as a defense and the ref backs Andrade off. White and Andrade reset, Juice is liking this, but then Andrade headlocks. Fans rally up, White endures the grind, and White powers up and powers out. Andrade runs White down, and then goes to run, but Juice is in the way! The ref reprimands but White knees Andrade! White headlocks and hits the takeover.

Juice and the Gunns shout “ARMAS ARIBA!” Andrade endures, fights up, and he powers out. White slides out, says to heck with it, but Andrade slides! White dodges, Andrade dodges back, and Andrade CHOPS White down! White sputters but Andrade puts him in the ring. Andrade climbs, leaps, CROSSBODY! Andrade bounces off the cover, but he drags White back up. BCG are worried as Andrade snap suplexes! Uno AMigo! Fans fire up as Andrade hits Dos Amigos! Andrade gets White up again, gives us some Latino Heat, then hits THREE- NO, White silps free and pulls hair! The ref rephrimands, they’re in the corners and Andrade HEADBUTTS!

White BOOTS back, goes up, but Andrade triangle jump DROPKICKS White to the floor! BCG hurry to check on their captain but Andrade goes out after him. Andrade puts White in, covers, ONE! Austin rubs it in, that was UNO! Andrade seethes but he drags White up. Andrade whips White to the corner, but White dodges the splash to clothesline and DDT! Cover, TWO! Andrade stays in this but White stays focused. White goes to the corner to CHOP! White RAMS into Andrade again and again, the ref counts but White lets off at 4. To then CHOP! White whips corner to corner but Andrade blocks to BOOT!

Andrade goes up but White CHOPS again! White fireman’s carries, to TKO HOTSHOT! And then White BLASTS Andrade down! Andrade hits railing, BCG swarm like a pack of hyenas, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Colten does a victory lap for White and White goes out to fetch Andrade. White brings Andrade around to SMACK him off the apron, then he pulls hair to APRON GOURD BUSTER! Andrade falls to the floor, Juice taunts him with a dance, and White flexes as he refreshes the ring count. White and the BCG all flex and pose, then White puts Andrade in the ring. Cover, TWO! Another cover, TWO! A third cover, TWO!! White is frustrated but the count is fair. White stalks Andrade to the ropes to CHOKE him and fishhook his face! The ref counts, White lets off, and Andrade CHOPS! And BOOTS! White blocks a boot to DRAGON SCREW!

White strums the air guitar to let Tanahashi know he’s thinking of him. Then he GROUND DRAGON SCREWS the same leg! Andrade writhes to the ropes but White wraps the bad leg around them! The ref reprimands, White lets off, and then White drags Andrade up to HALF HATCH into the corner! Then White gets the legs to high stack, TWO! Andrade is still in this and White is frustrated. White drags Andrade into a chinlock and he grinds Andrade down. But Andrade fights up as Collision returns to single picture! The fans rally, White grinds Andrade down again, but Andrade still endures.

Fans rally more as Andrade keeps fighting. White shakes his head but Andrade stands to throw body shots! White throws Andrade down by his hair! The ref reprimands but White storms back up, into a cradle! TWO!! White kicks the bad leg! Andrade falls and clutches that knee, but White sits him up. White CHOPS! Andrade sputters and White talks trash, but Andrade pie faces him! Andrade eggs White on so White CHOPS him! Andrade still eggs White on so White CHOPS! White finger guns, but Andrade dodges, DOUBLE LARIATS collide! Fans fire up as both men are down! The standing count starts and both men stir.

BCG coach White, White drags Andrade up, and “This is Awesome!” as they go forearm for forearm! Andrade CHOPS, White CHOPS! Andrade CHOPS, White wobbles and staggers, but White comes back to CHOP! Fans rally as the CHOPS just keep going! White kicks, Andrade blocks to DRAGON SCREW! And then DRAGON SCREW again! Andrade runs, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to CLOBBER White! Fans fire up but the BCG worries for White. Andrade kips up! El Idolo has plenty of gas left in the tank and he has White in a corner. Andrade goes corner to corner, for CIEN- NO, the BCG drags White out to safety. So Andrade goes up to ARIHARA MOONSAULT!!

Fans are thunderous as Andrade takes out the whole Bang Bang Gang! Andrade puts White in, climbs up again, and then MOONSAULTS, lands on his feet, DOUBLE MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO!! White survives and Andrade is frustrated, but the fans are loving this! Andrade looms over White, brings White up, and reels him in, White drops down but Andrade CLUB S him! Andrade full nelsons, White break sit to switch, but Andrade fights the sleeper! White CHOPS! And CHOPS! White runs, but into a BOOT! Fans fire up as White flops down. Andrade drags White up but White SAIDOS Andrade up and out of the ring!!

The ref hurries to check but Andrade is somehow able to continue. White drags Andrade up and into the ring, storms up on him, and clinches, for the URENAGE! Cover, TWO!?! White pushes that arm back down, TWO!!! Andrade survives but just barely! White clamps onto Andrade with a sleeper, brings him up, but Andrade fights the suplex. White staggers, blocks the boot, KNEE BREAKER! Andrade shouts about his leg, which has given him trouble in the past. But White CHOPS! And CHOPS! Both men hobble, but Andrade boot feints to ELBOW!! Cover, TWO!??! White survives and fans are loving this match all over again!

White and Andrade stir, then White crawls to a corner. Andrade stands, fires up and runs, CIEN SHADOWS!! Then the hammerlock, LA SOMBRA DDT!!! Cover, Juice helps White with the ROPEBREAK! Fans boo as BCG gets away with one! Andrade is beside himself, but he drags White around by a leg. Fans “WOO~!” as Andrade steps through! FIGURE FOUR! White endures, the “WOO~” echoes out, but White CLUBS away at Andrade’s leg! Andrade pushes up to the FIGURE EIGHT! The Ass Boys distract the ref so Juice can CLOBBER Andrade with his Cowboy of the Month award!! White is free of the leglock!

White drags Andrade’s deadweight up to hit BLADERUNNER!!! Cover, White wins!

Winner: Jay White, by pinfall

Andrade being alone was doomed from the start with Juice and the Gunns backing White up! And then they all taunt Andrade while he’s down! Andrade takes his first AEW loss, but will he back for venganza? (Vengeance in Espanol.)

Ortiz speaks.

“All In, Wembley Stadium. Did to me what you’ve been doing to me the last 14 years of my life. You used me, then you walked away. Sure did have a lot to say on social media. Sure did have a lot to say on TV. And then when I confronted you… Called you over and looked you in your eyes, you walked away. Tough keyboard warrior. You did what you always do: You ran from your problems. Guess what? You’re not gonna be able to run much longer.” Will there be a clash of the proud ‘n’ powerful on the horizon?

Shane Taylor Promotions speaks.

Shane Taylor himself says that on paper, Shane Taylor VS Keith Lee may not seem like much of a rivalry. But Keith knows better, doesn’t he? They came into ROH at the same time, established “The Pretty Boy Killers” and DOMINATED the tag division. Lee Moriarty says to tell ’em! Shane says that from ANS to War Machine to The Briscoes, they took ’em all out! But then Keith went to go work for “the other billionaire,” while Shane stayed and became an ROH legend! The world got to see Keith be limitless, but now it is Shane’s time on the biggest stage! And the only thing standing in the way IS Keith.

Shane says if it is to feed his family, then he will put Keith in the GROUND! Before Shane takes everything Keith has, Keith must step in the ring with The Best Damn Technical Wrestler, Lee Moriarty. Will #TAIGASTYLE bring Keith down to size? Or will Moriarty #BaskInHisGlory?

AEW World Tag Team Championships: FTR VS The Workhorsemen!

The open challenge of opportunities continues as Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler give JD Drake & Anthony Henry their shot. But with WrestleDream and a rematch with Aussie Open on the horizon, will the Top Guys get caught off guard? Or will FTR be bringing the gold to Seattle?

Speaking of, Aussie Open is here! Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis are dressed to the nines and they join commentary to watch this one with their own eyes. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who are the true Top Guys!

The teams sort out and Cash starts against Henry. They circle, feel things out, and Cash denies Henry a leg takedown. Henry comes back, gets around to a waistlock, but Cash fights up to facelock. Henry slips free, gets around again, facelocks again, and then gator rolls to hammerlock! Cash has the ROPEBREAK, and the two separate. They reset, circle, and tie up. Henry gets an arm to wrench it but Cash slips around to fireman’s carry takeover! Henry headscissors but Cash kips up.

Tag to Henry, Henry goes up, and JD tags back in. Henry DIVING DOUBLE STOMPS! Then Henry FLIES to take out Cash! JD is up< SCRAP METAL MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO!! Dax survives being squashed and the fans lose their minds just from seeing it! But wait, Cash has Henry, GORY BOMB to the apron!! Dax runs up on JD but JD ROCKS him! JD goes up, to FLYING- POWERBOMB!! Step through into SHARPSHOOTER!!

JD endures, fans rally, but JD taps! FTR wins!

Winners: FTR, by submission (still AEW World Tag Team Champions)

Aussie Open says okay, then it’s on! WrestleDream will mark the anniversary of the instant classic back at Royal Quest! Mark Davis gets a mic to say, “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!” The fans reply “OI OI OI!” Davis says congrats, and keep those belts bright. Because FTR is in the fight of their lives! Fletcher knows Aussie Open says it a lot, but FTR once said themselves that Aussie Open is the best tag team in the world today! And they’ve heard the complaints, “What happened to the Aussie Open that took FTR to the limit in a five star classic?” Well, they admit they haven’t lived up tot he hype, but that is why they challenged FTR to this match!

Aussie Open needs to prove to to the people, they need to prove it to FTR, and they need to prove it to themselves that they ARE everything they say they are! Dax has a mic to say yeah, okay. Aussie Open were sacrificial lambs to Max and his best friend. They were sacrificial lambs to Chris Jericho and his best friend. But what Dax wants from them, what he is begging them on his hands and knees, he wants the biggest, baddest bastards in the world, because on October 1st, WrestleDream, Aussie Open faces THE BEST TAG TEAM IN HISTORY! Fans cheer that! And Dax says if Aussie Open don’t bring that, then don’t even show up. #TopGuysOut.

Backstage interview with CJ Perry.

Lexi Nair is with Miro’s hot and flexible wife, and says this is the first time we’ve seen her since she surprised everyone at All In London, which was also the first time anyone in wrestling has seen her in two years. So the question is, why now? CJ says that The Redeemer, who she loves so much, has lost his way. She wanted to help him be champion again. But unfortunately, he’s rather preoccupied with the past and… temptations. But then in steps Miro! He says his only temptation is her. And her temptation is this: the lights, the cameras, the fame. It changes you. CJ says she loves the hustle, the puzzle, the chase, and helping those she loves! It makes her come alive!

Miro says his righteous path was to save “them.” And if CJ stays, that means he’d have to… To what? Save her? What were their wedding vows again? Well, they each have to do what they each have to do. They will each walk their own paths. But if there is any love in Miro’s heart for CJ, then please, do not lay a hand on any of her future clients she’s going to manage here. Okay? Can he promise that? Miro leaves without giving an answer. Will pro-wrestling come between husband and wife?

Winner: Bryan Danielson

Starks wanted revenge, but he only got another vicious fight and crushing defeat. Big Bill and Wheeler Yuta come out to check on their respective allies. Bill helps Starks stand, as does Yuta with Bryan. Yuta and Bill get at each other, but Starks has them all stand down. Is this Starks’ way of showing Bryan respect for the absolute war they just went through? And where does Starks go from here?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision here, and some more added to WrestleDream just as I was hoping. Julia had a good match with Kiera, she mists Skye, but instead of calling out Willow for a PPV match, she wants Kris and the TBS Championship. That will be a good match for WrestleDream but I feel like Kris wins that. Really good tag title match from FTR VS Workhorsemen but of course FTR wins so that their match with Aussie Open is now a title match. No idea who wins that but we all know it will be a match of the year contender. And I think something rather interesting is that Fatal 4 Way contenders tag match, and that detail about a title match “at any time.” Is a team going to win and then Money in the Bank those AEW tag titles away from whoever wins? Because that’d be awesome, actually.

Speaking of which, really fun tag match of Hook & RVD beating Menard & Parker. Of course Hook & RVD win, which helps give Hook & Cassidy momentum going into that WrestleDream Fatal 4. RVD is probably in AEW to be part of the fun, have more of these really good matches, but I can’t really say he is actually after another title reign of some kind. Then big stuff from Eddie Kingston, putting up TWO championships up in his match with Shibata. That’s one huge first defense for the ROH World Championship, but I would think Eddie retains. As awesome as it’d be to see one man with three singles titles, there’s no good story of Eddie losing the belts he worked so hard to have so soon.

Don Callis has a good promo in response to the Six Man Tag challenge, but of course Will Ospreay is the third man, even though I would’ve loved for them to bring in someone really good that really needs something to do. But whatever, Ospreay brings star power, and there is story here already where Ospreay’s faced all three men, Omega, Ibushi & Jericho. It’ll also be an awesome match with Ospreay in it, but I would think Jericho & The Golden Lovers win. It’d also be great if Daniel Garcia helped tip the scales in Jericho’s favor, completing the double turn of Garcia and Guevara and perhaps giving us Garcia VS Guevara.

Really good TNT Championship Triple Threat that was really a handicap match. While I was thinking Christian was going to force Luchasaurus to give him the win, Christian instead opportunistically takes the win from Darby in where he has to pin Luchasaurus. And yet we’re getting a Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match at WrestleDream. That will make WrestleDream even longer, but maybe that is where it all comes to a head with Nick Wayne being in this story. Great match from White VS Andrade, but of course Bullet Club Gold helps White win that one. I know there hasn’t been a lot of interaction between Andrade and La Faccion Ingobernable since Andrade turned Face, but this would be the time for LFI to show their new aggression while also helping Andrade against BCG.

And of course, a great Last Man Standing match in the main event. Oh, yeah, that was a Last Man Standing match they dressed up as Texas Death even though it wasn’t like we weren’t going to notice. Literally earlier this year, AEW Revolution, Hangman VS Moxley, THEIR Texas Death Match was Knockout, Standing Count or Submission/Verbal Forfeit. But I guess since they already played their hand of Starks taking a loss by fainting, meaning Starks would never tap out or say “I Quit,” they could only go with the KO/ten count finish. Still a great match, but I’m just a stickler for labeling things what they are, and this as Last Man Standing, not Texas Death. But I did like Starks having Bill stand down. Makes me think that Starks could be a future ally to the BCC.
