It’s the AEW YouTube Pre-Show!
Golden Boy greets us to Baltimore for some great backstage exclusives.
SoCal Uncensored arrives!
Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky have that “game day drip” heading into their first AEW World Tag Team Championship defense in a triple threat. But they’re not coming in as underdogs, they are champions! SCU still feels Baltimore is the worst town they’ve ever been to, BUT (and it’s a big but, Scorpio loves big buts and he cannot lie) fans are going to watch SCU walk in and walk out the ring champions, despite having two great contenders. But it won’t matter who is in the ring, whether it’s Pentagon, Fenix, Marq Quen, Isiah Kassidy, Orange Cassidy, Butch Cassidy, they will understand that while it doesn’t rain much in SoCal, SoCal shall reign forever. SCU later tonight!
Bea Priestley speaks.
“Unprofessional. Reckless.” Britt wants to talk? Or shoot? First it was a concussion, then a black eye, “boo hoo.” This is a full contact sport, so it isn’t Bea’s fault Britt doesn’t know how to protect herself. Britt wants to say Bea isn’t professional? “You’re a f***ing dentist!” Britt spends her extra time playing with teeth, while Bea is training in the Stardom dojo, learning from some of the best in the world today. “This is my profession. Wrestling for you, Britt, is just something you do on your days off.”
Reckless? At least Bea gets the job done. Britt just complains on Twitter. Bea doesn’t make excuses, her work proves itself. But she’ll say it now: Britt is the poster girl for any promotion, perfect for wrestling five years ago. All the excuses lead back to the fact that Britt cannot hang with Bea, and Britt is just scared to admit it. Bea is the most dangerous person Britt will ever face, and highly underestimates that. Bea is going to unleash even more in the Buy-In, and END Britt Baker. Will this grudge match go too far?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
The rankings are out for AEW, Hangman is 3rd in the singles division but PAC is 2nd. Chances are, a win here leads to an AEW World Championship match. But Hangman is here for one thing: give PAC the ass-whooping he is overdue for. Hangman vows to blister Pac’s skin, break his back and “stomp his little balls ’til they pop!” Whatever happens after that doesn’t matter. It’s time for #CowboyShit.
Backstage interview with Joey Janela.
The Bad Boy quietly prepares for his match with Shawn Spears. It’s been rough, and “Sugar Daddy” Tully and “Sugar Baby” Shawn Spears are probably not taking this match seriously. Daddy is probably buying Baby a new purse. But Janela is here for business. For the first time in a long time, he feels a “certain type of way.” Spears is the “Chairman” but Janela knows more about chairs than him. But he won’t even need chairs, ladders, thumbtacks or barbed wire. Spears and Tully better watch this closely. All Janela need is his fists. He has been pigeonholed as a “hardcore outlaw macho goofball,” but the new fans just learning about him don’t know what he’s really capable of. And tonight, Baltimore will find out that Janela is a “bad, bad boy!” Janela heads out, but will he beat Spears down in return for the beating backstage?
It’s time to Buy In!
TAZ joins Excalibur and Golden Boy for commentary on this big night in Baltimore! And that starts with a match full of bad blood!

The Young Bucks VS Santana & Ortiz!
Full Gear begins with determining the best tag team on the planet today! Will it be Matt and Nick Jackson continuing their legacy? Or will it be the Inner Circle’s #ProudNPowerful Boricua Badasses from the Big Apple?
The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express is ringside to watch and support the Young Bucks in hopes of payback on PNP for attacking them. The teams sort out and we start with Nick Jackson and Santana.

Shawn Spears w/ Tully Blanchard VS Joey Janela!
The Chairman, or rather chair man, and his Horseman mentor felt greatly disrespected by the Bad Boy’s soda cigarette prank. But Janela didn’t exactly appreciate the payback in the form of pliers pulling his tongue and a cigarette burning his mouth!

Winner: Shawn Spears, by pinfall
Tully was three steps ahead of everyone else, and he helps Spears get a big win! Will this help Spears achieve #PERFECT10N?
Backstage interview with Kip Sabian.
Golden Boy has Superbad, but Kip didn’t realize. He thought GB was an intern. But why this sudden change in attitude? Ever since arriving, Kip was going straight down the middle. Kip found there were alliances all over, so Kip took it upon himself to carve his own path. That’s when he met like-minded men in The Hybrid2. The trio hasn’t worked out perfectly, but even the greatest rock bands didn’t come up with their greatest hits right away. Alliances are about people you can trust and you have chemistry with. And so now, Kip has PENELOPE FORD! The Superbad Squad is here with some sex appeal to inject into this “loser” company. Why be bad when you can be superbad. But this is boring, so “cheerio, dweeb.” Janela is going to be upset when he learns the Bad Girl has ditched him for a Superbad boy.
AEW World Tag Team Championship Triple Threat: SoCal Uncensored VS The Lucha Brothers VS Private Party!
The tournament to crown the inaugural AEW World Tag Team Champions was intense from start to finish! But it was incredibly personal after what Pentagon and Fenix did to Christopher Daniels before SCU even competed. But The Closer, Scorpio Sky, was able to substitute in, and it would be SCU that took the gold! However, that was only the beginning for Scorpio and Frankie Kazarian. A Bronze Medal Match gave Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy a second chance, and now three teams fight in just the first ever defense of these titles!

Omega gets snapped at by no less than half of the traps! Moxley stomps Omega down then goes looking under the ring again.

Omega has the chain again, and he wraps it around Moxley’s neck now! Omega locks it on like a leash, to whip and HANG Moxley!
Moxley chokes, holding onto ropes for dear life!! Moxley is fading fast, but Omega can’t hold any longer. Moxley is spared, and he slumps to the floor. Omega lines up a shot and the Terminator drums begin. Omega rises, builds speed, and FLIES! Omega wipes Moxley and himself out through the table! Omega rises and Baltimore loves “Both These Guys!” Omega puts Moxley back in and then goes looking for something new. Omega realizes where it is, and brings out… a sack…? Hardcore fans know what these usually hold inside. Omega opens the sack, and reveals BROKEN GLASS! In reference to the glass table Moxley put him through!? Omega brings the glass over and goes after Moxley’s forehead! Moxley fights back but Omega just goes after Moxley’s hand! Omega cuts between fingers!! Now Omega is the “Sick F*ck!”
Omega stops the bag of glass to breaks the pieces even more. Then he pours the glass out onto the ring mat! But Omega turns around for Moxley to kick and whip! Omega reverses, SIT-OUT SPINEBUSTER ONTO GLASS! Omega makes sure his hands aren’t cut up as he covers, TWO!! Moxley survives, and now the referee’s counting hand is a casualty of this match! Omega grabs Moxley’s legs, to simply drag Moxley through the glass! Then Omega steps through, for a Sharpshooter! Moxley endures, and has no choice but to crawl over the glass to get towards ropes! Moxley gets the ropes, but there’s no ropebreak, he just uses the ropes to get up. Omega lets go, unable to hold the hold any longer. But then Omega collects pieces of glass in his hand? “This is Awesome!” but clearly Omega is plotting something.
Omega has a handful of his shiny little friends, and grins as he brings them to Moxley. Omega wants to force feed the glass to Moxley!? Some pieces get in, then Omega says “BANG!” and runs, but Moxley side steps! Rebound German Suplex ONTO THE GLASS! Omega stands up just from the pain, and V-TRIGGERS back! The glass in the mouth goes flying but Omega keeps going, V-TRIGGER AGAIN! Moxley flops out of the ring but Omega keeps his eyes on him. Omega takes the ice pick from the buckle pad! He stalks Moxley and fans bring the Terminator drum back. Omega grins as he comes up behind Moxley but the referee says this is “not worth it!” Omega grabs Moxley, and uses the pick to SCRAPE Moxley’s forehead!!
Omega calls for the Elite to bring something out for him?! The Young Bucks and Hangman Page don’t want this to go that far. But Omega promises, just the once. The Elite still follow Omega, so they do as he asks. Omega’s special plan: a BED OF BARBED WIRE!! Omega pokes Moxley with the pick for good measure and then tosses it aside. Omega brings Moxley up in the Electric Chair and goes to the edge. Omega folds Moxley but Moxley slips out to fireman’s carry! Omega fights free of that, but the V-Trigger is blocked! Moxley kicks, has Omega, SUPLEX ONTO THE BARBED WIRE!!! Baltimore loses its minds over this most heinous thing yet! How do they get the two out of the spider’s web of steel barbs? The crew does its best to reach in while not hurting themselves, and they drag the two men out. No one knows what to make of this, but the fans are still chanting for “A E DUB! A E DUB!”
Omega is free then Moxley follows. Fans cheer that the two men are not seriously injured, but then Moxley JABS security out of the way! Moxley storms over to Omega, and brings Omega over to Full Gear stage piece. Omega resists the suplex, elbows Moxley off him, then uses a vent tube to SMASH Moxley! Omega staggers back for space, runs back in, and then V-TRIGGERS Moxley and himself through the stage piece!! Both men are wrecked all over again and the referee has no idea what to do with this! Can you throw an unsanctioned match out? It already doesn’t count! Moxley emerges with a Young Buck buck on his head. Fans hope they “Fight Forever!” but something’s got to give. Moxley staggers up while Omega is still stuck in the stage piece. Omega drags himself out, that wild look on his face still there. Omega pursues Moxley and throws big forearms.
The Terminator drum is almost too appropriate for Omega at this point as he stalks Moxley back to ringside. Omega clubs Moxley more, puts him in the ring, and brings up a piece of table wreckage. But the moment Omega gets in, Moxley gets him with PARADIGM SHIFT onto the glass!! Cover, TWO!?! How?!? Moxley clears the ring of the trap board and then goes back out. Moxley tears the apron skirt off, to then undo the ring mat’s straps! Moxley undoes an entire corner, and then a bit more. The referee wants this to end, but Moxley exposes the ring’s padding, and then drags that up to expose the wood baseboards! Moxley has exposed half the ring, diagonally! Moxley drags Omega up, Gotch lift, but Omega back drops Moxley! The wood is unforgiving, which is why there is usually padding.
Omega V-TRIGGERS Moxley into the buckles! Then Electric Chair, to the fold, but Moxley slips out again! Moxley double hooks but Omega kicks back, to give Moxley the PARADIGM SHIFT ON WOOD!! Cover, TWO!?! Just what are these two men made of!? Omega sits up and points to the sky. Omega positions Moxley just right before climbing up top. He’s hesitant, but he still PHOENIX SPLASHES, TO FLOP ON THE WOOD!! Fans are in shock as Omega more than likely breaks his nose! Moxley drags Omega over to cover, TWO!?! Moxley wants to end this. Moxley underhooks and lifts, DEATH RIDER!! Cover, Moxley wins!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall
Unsanctioned turned from unrestricted to unbelievable! And in the end, the Baddest SOB in the Business came out on top! The Young Bucks come to Omega’s side while Moxley asks the camera what his ranking is now. Fourth? Fifth? How does that work? “F*** you, that’s how that works.” Moxley doesn’t care what counts on record, he knows everyone saw what he just did. Will he do even worse until he gets the respect and opportunities he deserves?
My Thoughts:
Holy crap. How is it that a PPV that keeps title status quo is so amazing? Because AEW knew how to make the matches and the stories behind them so good, we wouldn’t be upset. We have no right to be upset, there is nothing to be upset about! We got great promo packages all throughout, from YouTube Kickoff Show to The Buy In to the main show (most of which I skipped), so those were nice little things. The non-title grudge matches were great, too. Baker VS Priestley was a great match for being the only match on the Buy In, and honestly I don’t think we needed much else, anyway. The main show opening with Bucks VS PNP was a great choice! Those teams were able to do the serious and the comedic in the same match, and Nick selling a busted ankle was great, too. It was a great surprise that PNP won, but AEW has been smart about not overloading us on The Elite winning things. I also really liked getting Rock ‘n’ Roll Express involved for some small payback. This is all going to heat up Elite VS Inner Circle more and for the better.
Hangman Page VS PAC, Spears VS Janela, they were both solid matches, the stories went well, and AEW is doing great on keeping to the win-loss record mattering. Hangman will surely move up in the AEW rankings and might become the new #1 contender by default. Meanwhile, the most interesting development for Janela is that his former female valet has now left him for another talent! But I do appreciate that we’re in the process of seeing AEW’s first fully formed faction, with Kip as the singles guy, TH2 as the tag team and now Penelope Ford is in the women’s division. I look forward to seeing where this Superbad Squad goes. At the same time, I’m moderately intrigued by Brandi and Awesome Kong targeting women and taking locks of their hair… One of them is going for the title one day, but this story building them up might be something unique.
I loved all the title matches tonight, and I can’t be too upset over status quo being kept. All the reigns have still been short just on AEW being a young company, so it is totally fine for all the champions to retain. I knew almost right away that having a Triple Threat Tag match and putting Private Party in was so Private Party takes the pin. SCU retains because of that, but it was a great surprise to see Daniels return, first pretending to be Pentagon’s double. I’m thinking Daniels VS Pentagon happens as a grudge match, but I don’t know if Lucha Brothers get what would be a third chance at the tag titles. Well, unless Daniels subs in a la Freebird Rules. Riho VS Sakura was great, though they recycled quite a bit from their tag match this past Dynamite. However, they did great in adding on. Riho wins with another pin finish and not a finisher, I’m not even sure if she has a finisher. But with the way things are being set up, I wonder if Riho has a rematch with Shida to see if she can beat Shida again. No other women’s wrestler in AEW has been built up strong enough yet, it just seems the way they’re going.
The AEW World Championship match was probably the more surprising title retention, in how they did it. I don’t want to say it was obvious MJF would turn on Cody here, but it was highly likely and then that’s exactly what we got. Well for one, the judges weren’t needed, but it was still great seeing Jericho get in Malenko’s face. This is probably to set a precedent for all world title matches, just so it would set AEW apart from all other promotions. And who knows, maybe one day, the judges will be needed for some added drama. Cody and Jericho did great, I was really shocked by that ramp spot that cut Cody’s face and bruised his ribs. It made for great story, of course, as did MJF throwing in the towel. MJF can surely give a great reason as to why he turned with a promo for Dynamite or even on social media, and a grudge match between him and Cody will be great. And if Hangman is the new contender, a rematch of him and Jericho will make for some great story, too.
That Unsanctioned match, tho. Looking back, Moxley and Omega each having an Unsanctioned match in AEW before this should’ve told us things were going to get wild. The things Moxley and Omega each did with Janela, those all paled in comparison to what Moxley and Omega just did here against each other. We all expected the bat and the broom, trash cans and tables, and even going around ringside. But I don’t know who would’ve guessed a bunch of mouse traps on particle board, a screwdriver/ice pick a la the last time Triple H and Ric Flair had a No Disqualification match, the gold bike chain or the broken glass. For that matter, no one would’ve ever imagined that California King of barbed wire! These guys went to such insane levels, so I could understand more squeamish fans not feeling this, but I’m apparently not squeamish so hey.
Much like Bucks putting PNP over, Omega puts Moxley over because Moxley deserves to win, and I would love if Moxley demands to be included in the contender talk. Hangman VS Moxley, winner goes after Jericho. BOOK IT, KHAN!

BOOM!” on Mason!

As Montel Vontavious Porter said just last night on Collision, these two teams are two sides of the same coin. They’re all about entertaining the fans, but they do it in very, very different ways.

Steel Cage Match: Will Ospreay VS Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis!
Callis sure likes driving wedges between people. He is why Konosuke turned on Omega, and he is why The United Empire fell apart here in AEW. The Aerial Assassin and The Aussie Arrow were like brothers, but now they’re the bitterest of enemies. Will Ospreay humble Kyle and prove he is on another level? Or will The Protostar be THE star here in Los Angeles?

Ospreay whips Kyle hard into steel! And then hard into more steel! And then BACKDROPS Kyle, for a STANDING SKY TWISTER! Cover, TWO! Kyle stays in this, the ref checks Ospreay, and Ospreay says he’s fine. The fans rally behind Ospreay as he goes back for Kyle.
Callis claims he is concerned about blood loss now, but that’s as Ospreay gives Kyle some Kawada Kicks! And a CHOP! And another CHOP! And then another CHOP! Kyle falls over, Ospreay roars, and the fans fire up! Ospreay glares at Callis through the cage chain links, then goes back for Kyle. Kyle is under the ropes, but Ospreay drags him up.

Ospreay dares Davis to bring it, so Davis storms up the steps! Ospreay BOOTS the door into Davis! Davis falls, and Ospreay looks inside the black bag. It has a bat wrapped in barbed wire!! The fans fire up as Ospreay takes aim, and he HOMERS Kyle in the gut! And then on the back!! And then Ospreay DIGS the wire into Kyle’s forehead!! The fans are thunderous for the savagery! Ospreay then takes aim, and says “BANG BANG!” a la Cactus Jack! Kyle says please don’t, but Ospreay says Kyle’s begging for mercy a little late.

Callis is absolutely stunned. Not only did both of his guys lose tonight, but this could’ve cost Kyle so much more than just a win. Ospreay looms over Kyle for just a moment before he hobbles away. Is this the end of the grudge? Can Ospreay finally move on from his past and head for a brighter future?

They deserved a movie like this on the big screen, and it was an honor to play the women who laid the foundation for wrestling today. See it while you can!
AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley VS Adam Copeland!
There has never been a reign of terror quite like The Death Riders holding their titles hostage. But as things escalated, “The One True King” lost pawn after pawn night after night. Moxley claims he is still fighting for a greater good, for a brighter tomorrow, but it is only so that AEW reflects his philosophy. Cope wants to change all that, which is why he’s leading the revolution! Will things get Rated R with a NEW world champion? Or will The Maniac still drag AEW along this dangerous path?

Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (still AEW World Champion)
The Maniac’s reign of terror was never closer to ending than right here tonight, if not for Captain Charisma making himself a part of it. Christian ends up Moxley’s sacrifice for the greater good, whether anyone likes it or not. But wait, Prince Nana finds Moxley and tells him guess who’s coming. Security rushes over to keep things from getting physical, but wait! UP ON THE LEDGE! Swerve is perched like a hawk, and he DIVES in!! Swerve wipes out Moxley and all of security! The fans are thunderous for “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Will the Realest, the Most Dangerous Man in AEW, prove he’s also the rightful AEW World Champion?
My Thoughts:
A great Revolution, and would’ve been awesome if they just rethought some of that main event. For one, the match was more of a grind out than anything. I suppose after how hot everything else tonight was, that couldn’t be helped. And it was disappointing that Yuta just chose to stick with Moxley, but it did give White his reason for coming out. I honestly would’ve taken White costing Cope with that briefcase mishap than what we got. Because while I was glad they did have Christian Cage attempt his cash-in, they did that wrong. Making this a Triple Threat just so Christian can lose when he was not beat up at all, that’s garbage.
Granted, whatever Heel was going to be champion, whether Christian or Moxley, the fans can now all rally behind Swerve without question. Swerve VS Ricochet was a great match to not just name a contender but to get the Embassy Robe back. Swerve is back on the rise, we will see him continue the fight against the Death Riders that Cope and others did, and I could imagine a part of the story being Swerve learning to work with unlikely allies like Cope, Jay White, maybe even Will Ospreay or a returning Darby Allin. Team ups like that were all teased before they wrote Darby Allin off TV, so it’d be fitting that he returns as the catalyst for an AEW Avengers moment.
Hangman Page could also find himself in that mix, as he’ll want the world title again at some point. Hangman VS MJF was an awesome opener, and surprisingly stiff at some points. But Hangman getting the win was the right move, as it proves Hangman is the anti-hero the fans are right to support over MJF. The Zero Hour matches were also great, for the most part. It makes sense the Faces won their matches, but it’s a bummer that Gravity was only given a title match as an excuse to get The Learning Tree to beat him and Bandido up in front of a bigger audience than ROH on Honor Club.
Hobbs not rescuing them and helping thwart the Don Callis Family was rather odd. At the same time, this is Hobbs getting back to a story with the Don Callis Family so that he can get his revenge on them like we saw Omega and Ospreay do tonight. Which is surprising that both of those things happened, but maybe that’s a blowoff for them with the Don Callis Family. Omega becoming a Grand Slam Champion in AEW is great stuff, and very deserved. Not because Omega helped found AEW but because he is that good, and he overcame some serious stuff in his life.
Okada VS Brody was very good stuff, but I figured Okada would win that. Same goes for Mone VS Momo, with Mone retaining in a great match. Billie watching and taking notes was a nice background detail, and I am sure she’ll step up next with Dynasty in only a month. At the same time, it’d be interesting if there was some shirt in the relationship between Billie and Athena where Athena wants the match with Mone come All In: Texas. And if they go with what I was thinking, it could be for all the belts, or at least both the AEW TBS and ROH Women’s titles so that one way or another, the status of ROH is elevated by whoever is the winner.
It was also clear The Outrunners were losing, but the start was a bit clunky. And why is The Cru watching ringside? Like, not to be mean to Lio & Action, but they’re not even beating just Lashley or just Shelton. Maybe instead, The Cru wants to join up with the Hurt Syndicate? Maybe represent them in ROH and get those tag titles from Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara? That’d be a good option to me.
And then the bloodiest matches, the best matches, the ones that should’ve been the real main event, were Toni Storm VS Mariah and Ospreay VS Fletcher. The Hollywood Ending had an awkward plug for The Queen of the Ring that went better in the Zero Hour than it did here, but whatever, celebrities that only just got into wrestling don’t count for much. Toni and Mariah went hard, like they were working to outdo everything Swerve and Hangman did in their rivalry all on one night. The same could be said for Ospreay VS Fletcher, and they went even harder after seeing how hard Toni and Mariah went. Both great wins for the Faces, both Toni and Ospreay are now moving on to new stories, and that will be some great stuff for both of them.
My Score: 9/10

Starboy didn’t even get a turn, but maybe that’s a good thing. Will nothing stop these forces of nature from taking over AEW?
Adam Copeland speaks.
“I make you nervous, Moxley. You don’t like having guys like me around. Guys that have done more than you, been around longer than you, paid more dues than you. It threatens your manhood or something, and it should. Now Mox, you said all I had to do was ask for a fight, and I did, but you dodged me. You hid behind your Death Riders. And then I finally realized, you’re afraid. You’re afraid of losing the AEW World Championship, because with the championship, we all have to sit through your word salad diatribes that just go around in circles. But without it, you’ve got no juice.
“And it’s not too long before your sycophants realized that you’re just a false martyr. You’re just a spin doctor. You’re not a messiah. Well, Death Riders are gone, man. We took ’em out. And Yuta, he finally seems to be doing some soul searching and realized the succubus you are. So here’s what I need. I need the Jon Moxley that set this industry on fire when he first came to AEW, not this coward. I need the Moxley who’s not afraid to go toe to toe with me. I need the Moxley who’s not afraid to get in the trenches, who’s not afraid to suffer. Because you will. And I know I will, too, but I’m a masochist, I get off on it.
“But I’m also not kidding myself. I have been in hundreds of world title matches over the last 32 years, and I know. I know that time is running out. I know that this could be the last time I ever fight for a world title. So I have to make this count. What I’ve got going for me is there’s no expiring on purpose, there’s no expiring on passion, there’s no expiring on grit, I’ve got all of those in spades, Moxley. So here it is, man. Cope VS Mox, one on one for the first time ever, for the AEW World Championship at Revolution! I have to do this. Los Angeles, see you soon.” Cope is ready, but will he make Revolution Rated R?
Mercedes Mone is here!
As promised, The CEO is going to watch her challenger with her own eyes, so she struts down to ringside, holding up the AEW TBS Championship. Will she be impressed, intimidated or neither with The Dark Peach of Stardom?
Momo Watanabe VS Serena Deeb!
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Deeb wrenches and wristlocks, but Momo powers through to wrench and wristlock in return. Deeb rolls, rolls back, then spins and wrenches to a wristlock. Deeb wrangles Momo, has the top wristlock, but Momo rolls back. The fans rally as Momo wrenches and hammerlocks. Deeb headlocks for a takeover, but Momo headscissors. Deeb kips free but Momo hits the takeover. Deeb headscissors, Momo kips free, and the fans cheer this exchange.

Momo endures, Mone is loving it, and she wants the Professor to make Momo pay. Momo still endures so Deeb lets go. Momo goes to a corner, Deeb runs up and LARIATS! Deeb whips corner to corner, then runs up, but Momo DROPKICKS first! The fans fire up and Momo runs in now, DROPKICK!

Deeb puts Momo’s leg in the ropes, then DRAPING DRAGON SCREWS! Mone wants Deeb to pick Momo apart. TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Deeb looms over Momo while Mone laughs, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Deeb paces, brings Momo up, then stands her up to UPPERCUT! Momo wobbles, Deeb UPPERCUTS again! Deeb UPPERCUTS a third time and Momo staggers into a corner. Deeb runs in, Momo dodges, and Momo comes back, and blocks a boot! Deeb reels Momo in then KICKS her away! Deeb goes out, Mom runs up, but Deeb blocks the shoulder tackle. Deeb turns Momo for a HOTSHOT NECKBREAKER! Momo flounders away while Deeb grins. Deeb storms up to cover, TWO! Momo is tougher than that, but Deeb drags Momo around. Deeb stomps the leg, drops an ELBOW on it, then digs her knee into the knee.
Momo endures as Deeb pulls on the foot. Deeb hits a SPINNING TOEHOLD, then she ties the legs up for a DEATHLOCK! Momo still endures, reaches out, and she CHOPS! CHOPS! CHOPS!

Momo fires up and pump handles, for a PEACH SUNRISE SUPLEX! Bridging cover, Momo wins!
Winner: Momo Watanabe, by pinfall
Now Mone is mad. She sets all but the TBS Championship aside before storming into the ring. Mone taunts Momo with the title, and pie faces her with it! Momo ROUNDHOUSES Mone! The fans fire up as Momo now goes up the corner! METEORA!! Momo shows anything Mone can do, she can do meaner! Will nothing stop the Dark Peach from shining with AEW gold?
Will Ospreay speaks.
The Aerial Assassin finishes being checked by the trainer, and then sets the icepack down. “The pain that I’m feeling right now, the pain I’m feeling physically, does not equate to what I feel mentally right now. The torture that I feel in my brain right now. I feel lost, I feel confused, I feel anxious that I am entering a match physically spent, emotionally spent, entering a match that I’ve never participated in in my entire flippin’ career, against someone I called my flippin’ brother. Tonight on my left arm, I wore my armband that symbolizes the United Empire.
“But as I was packing my bags, I saw that armband in the top corner, and I brought that down, and I wore it on my arm to hope that there’s some little symbol, there’s some little part of you that’s still in there. That band. That band of brotherhood, mate. It’s not just a faction, it’s a band of boys that looked after each other. Me, Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis, Jeff Cobb, The Great-O-Khan, Henare, Francesco Akira, TJ Perkins, Callum Newman, Gideon Grey. All of us together took over Japan. Young, hungry boys that only cared about each other.
“And one year, mate, one year ago, at Revolution, after I defeated Takeshita, and I saw my best friend, a man that I put in my home, a man that has picked up my son with me… Met me ringside, and I knew we was gonna get the band back together. I knew we was gonna get the boys in and we were gonna take over AEW. But that ain’t the case now. No longer are we taking over AEW as the United Empire. Now, we’re standing in opposite corners, and this time, we are locked inside of a steel cage. And I’m coming into this like a wounded animal, bruv. A wounded animal, locked inside a cage, backed into a corner, I got no choice but to fight!
“I’ve got no choice but to look at my brother, a man that I loved, loved him more than anything in this world, that I would do anything for ya! And instead, I have to fight back. I have to fight with every ounce of energy that is in my body. And know this, Kyle. Know that with every bit of love that I had for you, every knife that you stabbed in my back, I will stab you right back! I will grate up your face across that flippin’ cage! I will end this once and for all! Because my name is Will Ospreay, and I am on! Another! LEVEL!” The Aerial Assassin steels his heart before stepping inside that steel, but will he be able to end The Protostar?
Harley Cameron VS Tatevik Hunanyan!
Though she lost at Grand Slam: Australia, this wild Aussie has been getting wins on TV, on the Jericho Cruise, and even named her finishing move… uh, well, Her Finishing Move! But will we continue to #FeelTheWrath? Or is the hot streak going to cool off for the Spring?
The moment Harley’s in the ring, Tatevik CLOBBERS her! The fans boo, the bell rings, but Tatevik DRIBBLES Harley off the mat! Tatevik stomps Harley, rains down fists, and the fans chant “FEEL THE WRATH!” The ref reprimands but Tatevik soaks up all the heat from Sacramento. Tatevik CHOKES Harley, stops as the ref counts, then she kicks Harley around. Tatevik stands Harley up, kicks low and runs, to then just CLUB her! Then she runs, rolls off Harley’s back, and ROUNDHOUSES! Then RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Tatevik drags Harley up by her hair, SMACKS her off the mat, but the fans rally for Harley even harder.
Tatevik CLUBS Harley, has her in a corner, but Harley ELBOWS her back! And BOOTS her down! And then BOOTS her again! Harley runs up to LARIAT! Harley fires forearms, then winds up to ENZIGIRI! Harley runs, YOU’RE A WIZARD, HARLEY! The fans fire up with Harley and she takes aim. Tatevik swings, Harley wrenches her, for HER FINISHING MOVE!! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Tatevik tried to take the fight to Harley, but she still felt the wrath! Could Her Finishing Move be the key to Harley finally becoming a champion in AEW?
Kyle Fletcher speaks.
“The thing that I love most in this entire world is dropping people on their heads. And the only thing that makes it just a little bit better is doing it looking like a million bucks. And the only, only, only thing that makes it just a little bit sweeter is when I get to do it to Will Ospreay. Now, Will, you talk about this Steel Cage Match on Sunday like it’s some stepping stone. Like once it’s out of the way, you can finally make your way to the world championship and face Moxley to save this company. But you could not be more wrong. You are and always have been the one standing in MY way. In the way of me achieving my destiny.
“Now, prophecy says that when this is all down, I will be remembered as the greatest professional wrestler of all time. And Will, I’m sorry, but all your accomplishments, they mean nothing. Because all you’ll be remembered as is Kyle Fletcher’s greatest rival. And now, this band, this band that I ripped off your lifeless body, is supposed to represent a brotherhood? United Empire. But just like the United Empire, this thing is a facade. Because all it is is a way for you to stroke your own ego! And this Sunday, there will be no brothers in your corner. You are being locked in the lion’s den, and this lion has been starved far, far too long.
“I am hungry for revenge! Those fans, they can chant ‘Ospreay! Ospreay!’ all they want, until they are blue in the face, but it means nothing! Because I will paint that ring, that canvas, that steel cage in red with your blood. And I want you to remember all the pain that you have caused me all these years, because I am going to return it this Sunday a thousand fold. And don’t forget that you asked for this. Now say my full name.” Kyle Fletcher is determined to destroy Ospreay, but what will it cost him in return?

The Don Callis Family speaks.
Calils says since he and Konosuke Takeshita have joined forces, “Life is good, brother. Life is very good.” They’re on a ride, and Kenny will not interrupt it. They called Omega the “God of Wrestling,” but there’s a new god! Because he is here, each and every day, defending the AEW International title while Kenny Omega, God bless him, no ill will here, sits in a hospital bed with tubes coming out of his stomach! How long until those guts explode? And at Revolution, that will be the last match, the last time, that the wrestling world sees Kenny Omega! Because “they” won’t just beat Omega a third time, they will END him!
AEW hears from Bandido & Gravity.
After the ambush beatdown by The Learning Tree last Thursday on ROH, The Most Wanted tells them that while he doesn’t know their problem with him and his brother, just know that they won’t get away acting like cowards! Fight them like men! Gravity tells Jericho, if you want to finish things with him and his brother, meet him at Revolution! Bandido asks if Gravity is sure about that. Si, carnal! Gravity wants Jericho 1v1 at Revolution, for the ROH World Championship!! The Space Cowboys are ready to ride into the City of Angels, but can Gravity bring down The Nueve?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Adam Copeland and I are so different. We are not the same animal. We are barely the same species. But it’s funny how much we do have in common. Copeland came up the hard way. Poverty, starvation, drives across frozen lakes. We’re the last of a dying breed, you and I. On the road every single night, busting your ass through injuries. Through every obstacle they want to throw in your path. Chasing a dream, this fantasy. You can’t see, but you can feel it in your heart, you can almost feel it on your fingertips. The dream is to one day wrap that gold around your waist, feel that gold in your hands, to be world champion.
“That’s what drives you, man. That passion, that drive, every single night. You’d sacrifice it all for one more chance to play the game. Once you get there, man, you don’t wanna give it up for anything. That’s what this is about. Respect, hmm? I want to respect Adam Copeland, I want to like Adam Copeland, I really do. And I really tried. But, I just don’t get what you’re about, man. And when I get my hands around your busted neck, and I will, should I show you mercy? Would you show me mercy? Did you show my people mercy?
“When you hear the sound of your spinal column busting and cracking and popping and breaking, and you hear that sound reverberating in your skull and your eardrums…! You will feel what respect feels like.” The Maniac has said his piece, but will there be any piece of either man left after tomorrow night?

FTR meets with Daniel Garcia and The Undisputed Kingdom.
Cash Wheeler tells the group that they asked them all here because after last week, that wasn’t FTR’s best presentation. After Dynamite last week, then losing to them on Collision in a match they should’ve won, emotions ran high, that’s their bad. FTR is more professional that that. Dax Harwood says not him. He doesn’t apologize for not shaking hands. The only thing he apologizes for is stooging himself off to the referee. Kyle & Roddy were in the ring with the absolute best team last week, and the absolute best team should’ve won last week. Roddy asks “KYLE~!” if he hears this. Because Roddy’s pretty sure the best tag team did win last week.
Kyle says too true. But Kyle says one way or another, that victory was tainted. So to do the right thing, they’ll run it back. FTR agrees, the rematch is set for next week’s Collision! FTR heads out, as do Kyle & Roddy, but Adam Cole wants to talk with Garcia. Cole knows Garcia knows that Cole deserves his own rematch given what Shane Taylor Promotions did. But after tonight, we’ll just have to see if Garcia’s still TNT Champion. Garcia says that’s cute. But we will see. As much as Garcia wants to continue this conversation, he has to go defend his title. Cole says go get ’em, champ. Garcia heads out, will he still be the Face of TNT?
Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.
Lexy Nair is with Montel Vontavious Porter, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin and notes that their AEW World Tag Team Championship match for Revolution is set against The Outrunners. Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum have been training hard, and they have a match tonight against The Premier Athletes, hoping to win and build momentum. With that said- MVP cuts Lexy off to say, “With that being said, let me say this. The Outrunners are so entertaining. They make you feel good, they make you feel happy, they make you laugh. They’re entertaining. But we’re about a different kind of entertainment
“We like violent, savage entertainment. Blood, pain. We don’t wanna make you laugh, we wanna make you cringe, we wanna make you gasp. The Outrunners are the underdogs. And that’s why most of you pathetic people that watch this, you identify with underdogs because in life, you are an underdog. But Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin have never been underdogs. They’ve only ever been the top dogs. And what they are going to do to your underdogs is they are going to make them suffer. They are going to hurt them, badly. And you know what you do to a dog when it’s suffering? You put it down. We’re the Hurt Syndicate, and we hurt people.”
The Syndicate heads out, but will it be so easy to kill the Youngest Men Alive?

Who will have it all with their Hollywood Ending?
AEW hears from The Don Callis Family and… #MXMTV?
Johnny TV says, “The enemies of our enemies are our friends. That means we’re friends.” Brian Cage isn’t so sure about that, Johnny. But as long as Johnny is paying Callis, the Murder Machines don’t mind helping out. Okay, good enough. But speaking of those enemies, Mark Briscoe says it has been too long since he and Orange Cassidy conglomerated. The time has come, he and the Main Man with the Game Plan are gonna conglomerate with Big Boom AJ! Revolution, baby! Mansoor says if the other side is “The Conglomeration,” then guess what? This is the Cooperation! And together, they will DESTROY AJ, Briscoe, Cassidy and more!

Kenny Omega speaks.
“Takeshita, I’ll give you credit. You used me to get everything that you wanted. All of the questions that you had, I gave you every single answer that I could because I wanted to see the best for you. 2021 seems like a lifetime ago, but I still remember it very clearly. I still remember you being in this house, I still remember working out with you, I still remember watching tape, giving you advice. And I still remember you absorbing everything like a sponge, with your hands out, ‘Please, Kenny. Give me something that takes me to the next level.’ And then when I gave it to you, it still wasn’t enough. And I know that you think that Don can take you to the top of the mountain…
“Don himself thinks that you are the ultimate meal ticket. That you’ll be the one to shower him with the riches, shower him with all the gold, take him to the next step. But then what happens when you don’t? What happens after Revolution when I take your title away? Will you be thrown aside just the way that I was? Will you be thrown aside in the same way that Will Ospreay was? You see, the difference between you and Will Ospreay, Takeshita, is that Will opened his eyes. You’re still living in this fantasy world that Momsy, Dadsy, or Uncle Don is going to make something work magically, pull something out of thin air.
“And why is that? Because you’re afraid to go take it yourself? Well, I’m telling you right now, when it’s a singles match between us at Revolution, there is your chance. There is your chance, one on one, without Don, without any help, to beat me man to man. Show everyone that you’re willing to take that top spot. Show everyone that you are one of the best on the planet. At Revolution, Takeshita, you’re not facing the same guy that you had beaten twice in one week, Who you are facing is the guy that Don Callis himself used to call, ‘The God of Professional Wrestling.’ Do you really think you can beat this version of Kenny Omega?
“I guess tomorrow, we’re gonna find out. Until Revolution, I must bid you adieu. Goodbye, Takeshita, mwah. And goodnight, BANG!” The Cleaner has put Takeshita on notice, but will he still be The Best Bout Machine?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, but wow, was this some go-home syndrome. All the promos and recaps were well done, such as Kenny right there at the end, but we got so many of them when honestly, Kenny’s was a touch redundant. He had one on Dynamite, why not use this one back then? Speaking of redundant, Cope and Moxley had promos again. Cope saying Moxley talks in circles doesn’t do much when Cope barely said anything new other than, “I have to win.” I’ve been saying this a lot already, but this is all learning towards Christian Cage cashing in his Casino Gauntlet contract to really throw things for a loop.
I did appreciate what we got of the “Mariah attacks Toni” that happened on Friday, that is a clever way to add to a build. Good promo from Bandido & Gravity to respond to what happened on ROH, and Jericho VS Gravity will be a great match, but I don’t see Jericho losing given the title is on the line. And I also did appreciate Ospreay and Kyle at least adding some new twists. Ospreay has a point that the United Empire could’ve been a thing in AEW, and Kyle bringing up how Ospreay was meant to get in on the Death Riders story was also a nice touch. The cage match could really go either way, and I suppose much of it depends on where the world title’s story is going.
The Opps winning a squash match but then getting nothing else was odd. I mean, good win for The Opps, but I guess with The Death Riders falling apart and also kayfabe hospitalized, there couldn’t be a challenge set for the trios titles here. Very good win for Harley with Tatevik also coming out the gate strong. Momo VS Deeb was really good, and Mone was good on commentary. Them teasing Billie hanging around continues to be interesting. It’d be rather interesting if Billie were to bypass another shot at the ROH Women’s World Championship to then go after and most likely lose to Mone for the TBS Championship. Because as I’ve said before, Mone is certainly retaining against Momo.
Awesome match from Hologram and Dralistico, and another great win for Hologram. LFI going after him and then beating up Komander was good stuff, and I would think Hologram & Komander VS Dralistico & Mortos is a tag match we get before Rush VS Hologram 1v1. Good promo from The Hurt Syndicate ahead of The Outrunners having their match. It was a natural move for Hurt Syndicate to go out there in hopes of distracting, but I like that it didn’t cost The Outrunners. Great win for The Outrunners tonight, but they’re definitely losing at Revolution.
We got quite the promo from The Conglomeration and the “Cooperation.” There’s no change to the match, but I suppose this means Lance Archer, Brian Cage & Mark Davis will be ringside to watch and possibly stack the odds against Big Boom AJ’s team. I would think the Faces still win but maybe it’ll be from The Don Callis Family ditching MXM TV. FTR had a decent promo with Garcia and the Undisputed Kingdom. FTR having a split attitude on how their match with Kyle & Roddy went is interesting, but at least we’re getting a rematch. That’ll be some good stuff, and might unofficially make the winners the next tag title contenders.
An awesome TNT title match for the main event, but being it was Collision, I figured Garcia would retain. Setting up an 8 Man Tag for Revolution’s Zero Hour is something, and I could see some “dysfunction” between Garcia and Cole could set up their TNT Championship rematch. And with that rematch, I feel like Cole should win. There’s a good chance he’ll have the TNT title while Kyle & Roddy face Lashley & Shelton for the tag titles. Golden Prophecy: All Elite Edition is certainly to happen in 2025.
My Score: 8.9/10
