PLAY BY PLAY
Jon Moxley VS Alex Reynolds w/ John Silver!
The Maniac opens the night! Will this be as quick as his win over Michael Nakazawa?
The bell rings and Moxley KNEES Reynolds down! Underhooks, PARADIGM SHIFT! Cover, Moxley wins!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall
QUICKER! Moxley dumps Reynolds out but tag partner John Silver hops in, only to get his own PARADIGM SHIFT! Moxley could’ve just won two matches with that. If this doesn’t concern Le Champion’s chances of holding onto the championship, what will?
But speaking of, here comes Chris Jericho! And the Inner Circle is in tow to boot! Moxley shows no fear as all five men head down the ramp and surround the ring. Ortiz is at the ramp, Sammy Guevara takes camera side, Santana takes opposite Ortiz, and Jake Hager takes opposite Sammy. Jericho has a mic in one hand and then something else in the other. Jericho wants Moxley to take it easy as he enters the ring. Fans want to Moxley “f him up,” but Jericho tells them to “watch your language!” Jericho then tells Moxley that if they were going to attack, they would’ve already. This is just a chat between two gentlemen. The Inner Circle is impressed with Moxley, who has become a top guy for sure.
But there is a long history here, right? Jericho remembers over a decade ago, Moxley asked him for some advice. The leather jacket, Kurt Cobain bowl cut. Moxley wanted to know how to become a star, and he did just that. And then they became “adversaries.” They beat the “living sh*t out of each other.” Moxley threw Jericho onto thumbtacks, tore up his property, Jericho retaliated with a potted plant and put him in the hospital, but that taught Moxley how to become a main eventer, a champion. Years later, when Moxley needed to reignite his passion for this business, he called Jericho. Jericho helped Moxley through those waters and into AEW. Fans do appreciate that.
Moxley repaid Jericho by attacking him at All Out, and that’s fine! That’s okay! It showed us Moxley still had that chip on his shoulder and that he was still a winner. But Moxley has only started to realize his importance and only started to harness that power. Once again, Moxley needs Jericho. Can Moxley imagine–shut up, fans–what it would be like if Hager, Santana, Ortiz, Guevara, Jericho and Moxley were together? That is why Jericho wants to ask Moxley to join the Inner Circle! Fans say, “NO! NO!” but Jericho does offer Moxley a T-shirt. Moxley doesn’t have to answer here, he can talk it over with his lovely wife and mother during the holidays. They’ll be waiting in the New Year. Le Champion and Mr. Unscripted Violence taking over AEW is “a true paradigm shift.” Think hard, choose wisely, and when Moxley’s ready, they’ll be waiting.
Jericho puts the shirt on Moxley’s shoulder, and the Inner Circle takes their leave. What will Moxley’s answer be? “We’ll be waiting for you, brother.”
AEW reviews what led to tonight’s Texas Street Fight.
Santana threw trash cans over but he also threw down the challenge. The games were over, and Proud ‘n’ Powerful promised to take Matt and Nick Jackson down the block! Texas Street Fight, “let’s get it! Get with it or get run down!” AEW’s Excalibur says PNP has no idea what they’ve just done. Excalibur has known the Bucks and called Bucks matches for 14 years, seeing them do “some of the craziest sh*t both inside and outside of a professional wrestling ring.” Having no rules only makes them go crazier. Guerrilla warfare tag team matches are practically their specialty. And this Texas Street Fight is going to be something special. Who walks out of Garland and who is stretchered out?
Cody Rhodes & QT Marshall VS The Butcher & The Blade w/ The Bunny!
As MJF revealed online, he was the mastermind behind bringing Braxton Sutter and Andy Williams out of the shadows and into the light of Dynamite! With Allie’s dark side showing itself and being in the corner of this devious duo, will they “cut the head of the snake” that is the American Nightmare? Or will God’s Gift to Wrestling help save Cody’s skin?
The teams sort out and QT starts against The Blade. QT is nervous, so Cody tags in quick. Cody circles with Williams and tie up. They go around, Cody puts Williams in a corner but Williams turns it around. Williams lets up, Cody dodges his sucker punch and dropkicks him into the corner! Cody climbs up to rain down right hands, all the way up to 5. Cody wants the elbow but Williams pushes him away and kicks low. Williams headlocks, Cody powers out but Williams runs Cody over. Things speed up, Cody hurdles and hits the spinning powerslam! Cover, ONE, and Williams gets away. Fans boo as Blade tags in Butcher! QT says he can take on Sutter, and fans believe in him! Tag to QT, and QT ties up with Sutter.
Sutter powers QT to a corner, but QT keeps his confidence. QT runs but gets run over, but he comes back with an uppercut! QT whips but Sutter reverses. QT dodges, but Allie takes a swipe! Tag to Williams, and Williams FLIES to wipe QT out! The Bunny blows a kiss before Williams puts QT in the ring. AEW goes to picture in picture as Williams runs into QT’s elbow. QT tags Cody, and Cody waistlocks to a headlock on Williams. Williams powers out, Cody dodges, slides out, and gets himself a bottle of water to take a sip. Sutter protests, but this keeps the ref from seeing Cody SPIT the water in Williams’s face! Cody gets in and spins Williams around, but Williams snapmares free of the dragon sleeper. Cody comes back with a bulldog! Tag to QT, Cody wrenches and QT drops ax handles on the arm!
QT throws hands on Williams then whips. Sutter tags in and Williams dodges and denies the dropkick! Sutter dead lift gut wrenches, Williams dropkick kickstarts the suplex! Williams hits COdy for good measure as Sutter covers, TWO! Sutter drags QT up, whips him in to the corner hard, and then drags QT into the corner. The Butcher CHOPS QT then tags the Blade. Blade CHOPS QT just as hard! Snapmare and a swift kick to the back! Williams circles QT, brings him up, and whips him to ropes for a LARIAT! Williams toys with QT and brings him up again, tag to Sutter. Leg drop side walk slam combo! Cover, TWO! QT shows he’s tough but Sutter toys with him again. Stutter throws haymakers and stomps then tags Williams back in.
Williams stalks QT on the ropes, taunts Cody, then stomps QT down. AEW returns to single picture as Williams bites QT! Williams throws QT out hard, but the ref keeps Cody back. Allie gets cheap shots in! Williams goes out to fetch and CHOP QT again! Williams stays between QT and Cody, then brings him up, only to get a jawbreaker! QT crawls but Williams catches him first, QT enziguris! QT goes the wrong way, Sutter runs over but QT dumps him out! Cody reaches, but Sutter trips him up! Williams BOOTS QT in the corner, Sutter CHOPS and whips QT into Sutter’s BIG back drop! Cover, TWO!! QT survives but The Butcher locks on a high armlock. QT endures as fans rally up. QT throws body shots but Sutter clubs him back. Sutter whips, QT handsprings?! And ENZIGURIS!
Fans rally, Sutter tags Williams, but QT dodges the Blade’s splash! QT crawls and tags in Cody! Fans go wild as Cody rallies on the Butcher and the Blade! Boots and clotheslines, Rhodes Uppercut! Williams ducks a lariat and back suplexes, but Cody lands on his feet to DISASTER KICK Sutter! Cody boots Williams, climbs up top, SUPER CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Williams survives but Cody grits his teeth. Fans rally up and Cody talks off the weight belt to toss it to the fans! A man almost falls just reaching out for it! Cody aims at Williams, goes up, TRIANGLE CUTTER! Cover, TWO!! Cody drags Williams around, “WOO~!” Figure Four denied, Cody is on the ropes and Allie claws Cody’s face! But QT tags in!
QT gets Cody clear of Williams’s attack, pop-up FAST BALL! That right hand rocks Williams, and QT hits a SASUKE SPECIAL!? It wasn’t the cleanest, but it did what it had to! QT puts Williams in, Cody hits a Rhodes Pele! QT grabs Williams now, CROSS RHODES?! Cody is rather shocked to see that! Cody also gets an assist from QT to DIVE out onto Sutter! QT drags Williams to the drop zone, goes up top, and CORKSCREW SENTONS! Cover, TWO!?! Williams survives and QT can’t believe it! Time is running out and Sutter trips up Cody on the apron! And now, The Butcher and The Blade have QT all alone. But QT throws hands and CHOPS on them! Fans are all fired up but Sutter shoves QT into a STUNNER! LARIAT follows up! And to end it, suplex to knees, the Chopping Block! Cover, Butcher and Blade win!
Winners: The Butcher & The Blade, Williams by pinfall
QT shocked everyone putting up that good of a fight, but it wasn’t good enough. While they didn’t chop down Cody, is this only the beginning of what MJF’s muscle will do to him?
Wait, what is Darby Allin doing barging down the ramp? Darby goes to Cody, and offers him a hand? Cody takes it, and he might have a new ally in this fight! Will the Undead Daredevil be just the thing for Cody to thwart MJF?
While AEW is picture in picture, Cody shows respect to QT, and so does the crowd. Is this just the beginning for QT to get back on track in his career?
The Inner Circle prepares for the Texas Street Fight.
Santana straps up his gloves while Ortiz and Sammy Guevara test out cookie sheets and trash can lids for optimal damage dealt. Naturally, trash cans are a given choice. Santana is ice cold while Ortiz is fired up.
The Young Bucks also prepare.
Brandon Cutler gets them their jackets and wishes them luck. They huddle up, will Matt and Nick Jackson be able to survive what the Proud ‘n’ Powerful have in store for them?
MJF is here!
Maxwell Jacob Friedman has Wardlow in tow as he heads to the ring. “Cut my music!” MJF tells the “cord boy” security guard to get in the ring. MJF asks him about how he was laughing when Cody mocked MJF’s version of the Cross Rhodes. Was that not the case? Well all is forgiven, because all he has to do is… #KissTheRing. He does! And then Wardlow stands in his way, and MJF gives the man his #DoubleCross Cross Rhodes! That looked “pretty damn good” to MJF! What do the white trash hicks in Texas think? They boo.
MJF moves on to address Cody Rhodes. Fans curse so loud, the censors have to mute audio for a moment. MJF says that Cody is “without a shadow of a doubt, one of the greatest wrestlers in this generation. And with a microphone,” Cody is “absolutely untouchable.” With the exception of one man. Of all the people to talk about, Cody talked about that one man? To quote a legend, “You do not throw rocks at a man with a machine gun. And when my mouth opens, these bullets don’t miss.” MJF heard about that “business proposal,” it was cute. But he doesn’t need that crap truck or his money. Unlike the audience here, MJF has money to last a lifetime. What MJF wants is for Cody to suffer.
Though one line that hurt was the “knock-off Chris Jericho” comment. Fans thought that was funny, huh? What an amazing diss! Cody must’ve stayed up late working hard on that one. Is it because of the scarf? The “fake” one? Well let’s go with that word! Because when MJF thinks of “fake,” he thinks of Cody. The platinum blonde hair that looks like cat piss. Those Gary Busey teeth you could land a helicopter on. All those times Cody claims to care about the fans. But what is very real, is that “sh*tty little lisp!” Suffering succotash, did MJF offend him? Is Cody going to fire MJF? How about they fire MJF? Oh wait, he won’t! The one thing Cody wants most is to get after MJF. Plus, he’d be letting down the fans he claims to care about. What fans want is to see this fight! Fans want to see MJF VS Cody, right?! “YES! YES!” Guess what?! “YOU’RE ON!!”
But… There are some stipulations. MJF will tell Cody those stipulations, but not here in “Honkyville, USA.” Fans boo but MJF just mocks them back as they call him “a**hole.” MJF says we learn these stipulations in Jacksonville, the New Year’s Dynamite episode. And really listen closely. Cody must be foaming at the mouth, but remember this: “I’m in control now, not you. Because I’m better than you, and you know it!” MJF puts the mic down and soaks up the heat as he heads out with Wardlow. What will MJF make Cody do in the year 2020?
Alex Reynolds sulks in his hotel room.
He is still singing from the loss he and John Silver suffered on AEW Dark. But the commercial on the hotel cable, the man in it looks familiar… “Tired of losing all the time? Join our Loyalty Program.” Go to www.JoinDarkOrder.com and find out how. Reynolds figures there’s no harm in checking it out. “Aren’t you tired of being a jobber yet, Alex?” W-What…? Maybe he imagined that. “Hey.” Knock knock, he’s talking to you. Whoa, what?! Really? Yes, Alex. The Dark Order has been watching the Beaver Boys with great interest. It isn’t going how they thought it would, huh? Well, no, but- Enough excuses, Alex! Stop losing, start winning. There is strength in numbers. All you have to do is #JoinDarkOrder. Evil Uno!?
In need of a late night snack? Choose something from their After Dark menu. John Silver returns, and Alex is still talking to the TV. Who is he talking to? “I dunno, man. I dunno.” Is Alex Reynolds ready to join the Dark Order? Are you?
Big Swole VS Emi Sakura!
Aerial Monroe is officially All Elite now, and she looks to prove herself worthy of that signing. Can she win big on a big name in the joshi veteran? Or will Sakura solidify her spot in the top five?
The bell rings and fans rally for “Swole! Swole!” Emi tunes it out but Swole wants a test of strength. Emi checks her biceps then ties up with Swole. They go shoulder to shoulder and Swole bends Emi back with one arm! But Emi fights her way up, only for Swole to whip. Emi reverses, Swole goes up and over and throws a forearm. Swole snapmares and cartwheels with Emi, but fakes her out on the mule kick. Emi puts her guard down, mule KICK! Cover, TWO! Swole keeps on Emi but Emi ear claps! Emi wrenches the hair to snapmare with the dreads! Emi laughs as she tosses Swole by her hair again!
The ref reprimands Emi for pulling hair, but Emi goes to pull his hair! Except he is bald. Emi apologizes, but Swole comes back with kicks. Don’t touch the hair or get bopped in the mouth. Emi grabs hair so BOP! Swole whips but Emi drop toeholds and claws Swole’s back! Emi hooks the legs, fans rally for Swole but Emi grabs the arms. Emi sings, and pulls Swole up into the Romero Special surfboard! And then rolling surfboard! Then a chinlock while elevated, and a toss! Fans cheer, Emi can still hit the high notes. Emi brings Swole up and wrenches and CHOPS her off her feet! AEW goes picture in picture as Emi drags Swole back up, to CHOP down again!
Emi keeps bringing Swole up to CHOP her down again, and then pulls hair to get the grounded cobra twist. Emi uses a braid as her new Freddy Mercury mustache. Emi then clamps on the chinlock and clubs Swole down. Emi drags Swole to a corner and CHOPS her again! And then a little boom boom CHOP! Boom boom CHOP! We will, we will, CHOP you! But then Swole clobbers Emi in return! Emi comes back and whips but Swole stops herself to throw forearms. Swole whips Emi to a corner, then LARIATS Emi down on the rebound!

Emi runs in corner to corner, crossbody in the corner! Underhooks, Tiger BACKBREAKER! Swole writhes but Emi isn’t done with her. Emi has her mic stand but the referee stops her from using it. The two fight over the stand, Swole gets Emi in a waistlock. Emi standing switches and uses the stand as part of the cobra twist!
Emi sings but the referee takes the stand away. Emi lets Swole go to argue and pout at the ref, but Swole runs over. Emi blocks Swole’s kick, but Swole snatches the mic stand, and as Emi throws her leg down, Swole does the splits! And breaks it down like James Brown! Swole feels good, and then she dodges Emi to SPEAR Emi down! Fans fire up with Swole as she runs corner to corner, but Emi puts her on the apron. Swole enziguris back! And then slingshots, but into a draping underhooks! Another backbreaker! Emi goes up top, Vader Elbow! Cover, TWO!! Swole survives and Emi grows frustrated. Emi puts Swole back in the drop zone and climbs up higher, for a MOONSAULT! But it FLOPS! Swole misses her boot but fires forearms and an uppercut! Emi fights back with a strike fest and a CHOP! Emi runs, into a BOOT! Cover, TWO!?!
Fans are loving this match but Swole works on a new plan. Time is running down but Swole waistlocks to wristlock, ripcord but the discus misses. Back elbow from Emi, cover, TWO! Emi aims, runs in, but Swole spins her out, DIRTY DANCING DISCUS! Cover, Swole wins!!
Winner: Big Swole, by pinfall
Swole gets that big win! The #3 contender loses, but the #1 contender, Hikaru Shida, likes what she sees. The race towards Riho and the AEW Women’s World Championship is still on, will Swole get herself into that scene?
Backstage interview with PAC.
The Bastard is not in a good mood, but when isn’t he? “I came to this company for one reason: opportunity.” Yet he has faced nothing but injustice. He has put up dominating performance after dominating performance, yet has gotten “pittance” in return. AEW will answer for this! “Give me my rubber match or I promise I will not be held accountable for what I do next.” Pac wants another fight with Kenny Omega! When and where will he get it?
Hangman Page & Kenny Omega VS Shawn Spears & Kip Sabian w/ Penelope Ford!
Despite leaving The Elite, the Problem Solver once again tags with the Best Bout Machine, and they’re up against one bad Chair Man, and a Superbad boy. Will Page and Omega continue to be an elite combination? Or has Spears found #PERFECT10N in a tag team partner?

Winners: Hangman Page & Kenny Omega, Page by pinfall
A win is a win, and Omega doesn’t seem to mind. Hangman looks deadly serious, will he take that dead shot aim towards a career-defining opportunity?
Brandi Rhodes speaks.
“Go on, mock me. Post about me. But what does AEW actually look like without me? A kids’ gymnastics meet?” Take the Women’s Champion, Riho, for example. Has Riho somehow gotten so small that we can’t see her anymore? We haven’t seen her around to do anything, much less defend that title. Perhaps Riho is just hiding. And then the favorite doctor, Britt Baker. Take a shot every time she mentions her boyfriend, and you’ll be down for the count quicker than Leva Bates. Not to be a hypocrite, Brandi does reference Cody often, but they’ve been married 7 years. Baker is just a groupie!
Kris Statlander still has a place in the Nightmare Collective, and Brandi isn’t the only one willing to greet her with open arms. Brandi, Awesome Kong, newest recruit, Melanie Cruise, “the family is almost complete.” They’re just waiting for the alien to come home. But who is this new face? “No, not yet.” We do not get to see the other newest recruit’s face. Will Statlander accept the offer? Who is this mysterious man? And who else will find themselves confronted by the Collective?
Chris Jericho joins commentary!
He tells Excalibur and Tony Schiavone to leave so that he and Jake Hager have a place to sit. They join good ol’ JR and Jericho defends that he does know what “lexicon” means. It means “a list of names,” and it stems from the Greek lexus, which itself means “words.” Excalibur can shut up now. The only man on commentary that matters is Jim Ross!
Luchasaurus w/ Jurassic Express VS Sammy Guevara!
The man-dino and the Spanish God face off 1v1 for the first time! Will Jurassic Express score a big win over the Inner Circle?
AEW returns and Sammy stops vlogging so that this match can begin. Jericho knows Luchasaurus isn’t really a dinosaur, no matter what anyone says. The bell rings, and fans duel. Sammy SLAPS Luchasaurus, but Luchasaurus TOSSES Sammy! Sammy gets out of the corner and dropkicks, then rams in a shoulder. Big enziguri and springboard, but Luchasaurus gets under. Sammy dodges and doges, but runs into a choke grip! Luchasaurus lifts, Sammy huricanranas but it’s blocked! Luchasaurus fireman’s carries and throws Sammy, but Sammy lands on his feet. Sammy dodges in the corner and rams shoulders in again. Sammy kicks and forearms Luchasaurus then heads up top. Luchasaurus BOOTS him down from the top!
Fans fire up as Luchasaurus fetches Sammy and CHOPS! Sammy wants a time-out but there’s no such thing. Luchasaurus has Sammy in a half straitjacket to restrain him, but Sammy fights out with his other arm. Luchasaurus HEADBUTTS Sammy then SLAMS him on the apron! Sammy flops down and Luchasaurus refreshes the count. AEW goes picture in picture as Luchasaurus fireman’s carries and brings Sammy around the way. Luchasaurus tosses Sammy into the ring, and makes sure Jericho is watching. Luchasaurus gets in, but Sammy enziguris him at the ropes! And then runs to knee him down! Triangle dropkick a la Jericho himself! Sammy builds speed to FLY! The tornillo tope conjilo hits!
Sammy drags Luchasaurus around and then gets on the apron. SHOOTING STAR! A risky move on the floor but both men seem okay to continue. Luchasaurus gets into the ring, and Sammy fetches his phone. Time to vlog again! Sammy back hands and even hits Luchasaurus with the phone hand. The ref reprimands Sammy but Luchasaurus roars! Luchasaurus blocks the punch to knee, back kick and knee Sammy down! Then a dead lift wheelbarrow suplex! Somersault SPIKE-RANA! Sammy stirs but Luchasaurus prepares the hand. Choke grip and lift, but Sammy flips out to heel kick! And jumping knee! AEW returns to single picture as Sammy ducks a kick to enziguri back! Sammy runs, dodges, SUPERKICK! Luchasaurus whips Sammy, pops him up, but gets a DDT for it!
Sammy drags himself up as fans rally up. Sammy gets to a corner, heads up top but slowly, and he says a prayer before he MOONSAULTS! Luchasaurus moves, but Sammy lands on his feet! Sammy standing moonsaults but Luchassaurus evades again. Sammy again lands on his feet, and standing Shooting Stars! Into Luchasaurus’s grip! Luchasaurus brings Sammy up, Sammy slips out, but Luchasaurus kicks his clothesline away. Question mark roundhouse! TAIL WHIP! Choke grip, gut wrench, FACEBUSTER! Cover, Luchasaurus wins!
Winner: Luchasaurus, by pinfall
The Inner Circle attacks! Jericho and Jake Hager beat Luchasaurus down but Jungle Boy attacks Jericho! JB takes the fight to Le Champion a week early! Jericho throws JB out but JB skins the cat, to HURICANRANA! Cover, JB “wins”! Jurassic Express bails out and leaves the Inner Circle seething! That quick pin is all it takes! Will JB earn the biggest win in his young career?
Jericho throws a tantrum, again. “That didn’t count! That didn’t count!” He vows it won’t happen next week, but can Jericho be so sure?
AEW announces their next Pay-Per-View!
February 29th, 2020, AEW uses the leap year to bring the world AEW Revolution! Chicago is where the revolution started, so it is only fitting AEW returns there once again!
BREAKING NEWS!
Lots of matches have been made for the last episode of 2019! Page and Omega continue to team together as they go up against the Lucha Brothers! Will Hangman and the Best Bout Machine continue to work together well? Or will they lose to Cero Miedo? Then Britt Baker and Kris Statlander have a #1 Contender’s Match next week! The winner moves on to face Riho on New Year’s Day!
AEW World Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders Texas Street Fight: The Young Bucks VS Proud ‘n’ Powerful!
As if such a match between two teams with as heated a grudge as they have wasn’t enough, the stakes are raised when this is to determine who faces SoCal Uncensored next week! Who survives to then go for the gold?
But Santana and Ortiz don’t even wait for a bell or their own entrance music, they attack as the confetti cannons go off! They and Sammy Guevara stomp and beat down the Bucks! But Brandon Cutler comes out to even the numbers! He gets beat down for it, and Sammy uses the sock-and-baseball blackjack to smack the Bucks around. That’s because PNP take Cutler and DOUBLE POWERBOMB him though the stage! You would think AEW would look into redesigning the stage… But either way, Sammy, Santana and Ortiz beat the Bucks down more, and send Matt FLYING off onto security!
Ortiz brings out a table and Sammy helps him set it up! Santana keeps Nick down by standing on Nick’s head. This match is underway by default, and it is falls count anywhere on top of everything else. And the Inner Circle wants to do some serious damage. Santana climbs up girders but Matt yanks him off! SUPERKICK for Ortiz! SUPERKICK for Sammy! Matt brings Sammy around to gut wrench, Nick uses the stage for elevation, FULL METAL INDIETAKER! Ortiz returns to get DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Ortiz is on the table now, and now Nick climbs up! Nick is on top of the entry way, fans are freaking out, SUPER SWANTON through the table!! Cover, TWO!! Ortiz survives, and fans are still losing their minds.
Matt sees Santana and runs down to clothesline! Nick follows, alley-oop dropkick! SoCal Uncensored watches in the front row to watch this up close, and with popcorn. Mat turns around to get a BOOT from Santana! Santana talks smack to SCU’s Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian, but Matt turns Santana around for haymakers. Matt and Santana brawl around the way and into the ring while Nick selects tables. Matt bumps Santana on buckles and Nick joins in. They have their pick of the equipment, and they both lift Santana up in a crucifix.

SMACK, SMACK, SMACK! Wait, Matt comes in wearing a Dallas Cowboys football helmet? The helmet hurts Santana’s hand when he punches! And it protects from the mad ball! But Santana kicks low, the helmet doesn’t protect that. PNP double whips, but Matt SPEARS them both! Fans fire up for that sack!

Matt resists the suplex and punches Ortiz down. Santana returns, O’Connor roll, and he dodges while Ortiz SPINE BUSTERS Matt down! Leap frog senton! LIONSAULT! They must’ve gotten that one from Jericho. Cover, TWO!! Matt survives but Nick returns to be tossed right into buckles! Ortiz SMACKS Nick with the trash can lid, then SMACKS Matt with it! Santana uses the cookie sheet to jab and SMACK Nick, too.
PNP puts Nick on the top rope, climbs up to join him, but Matt SMACKS them both with the trash can! AEW returns to single picture and Santana takes a tumble. Nick shoves Ortiz down, and Matt BASHES him with the can! The can is placed on Ortiz, Matt climbs up and LEAPS out onto Santana! Nick adjusts, aims at Ortiz, FULL METAL 450!!

The chairs are put down and the Bucks vow to end it! Gut wrench, Nick springboards, FULL METAL MELTZER!! Cover, The Bucks win!
Winners: The Young Bucks, Matt Jackson by pinfall; NEW #1 Contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships
Brutal to say the least, but these were the lengths both teams were willing to go to in order to settle their score. But now the Bucks are headed for a shot at the tag team titles! SCU join the Bucks in the ring to congratulate them, but also to hold the belts up. Will Corpus Christi be the site of a golden classic?
My Thoughts:
Man what a great episode, and it was basically a go-home to the 12/18/19 episode. So much of this was for the forwarding of story, and it was all really good, pretty much no complaints. Moxley getting another super fast win was pretty great, and it even feeds into Reynolds’s vignette with the Dark Order spokesperson. The Inner Circle trying to recruit Moxley is a pretty great move, and a classic one at that. The Heels don’t want to fight Moxley, so they’ll make him one of the team. But I’m pretty sure Moxley won’t actually join them, and I bet we get an answer next week as opposed to waiting until New Year’s Day. He might even help Jungle Boy win. Luchasaurus VS Sammy Guevara was a pretty fun match, and of course a brawl breaks out. JB gets an unofficial pin, and only gets 10 minutes with Jericho next week, not a second more. Again, I would love if Moxley helps JB win, though that would mean JB gets a claim to the title in his own right. We’ll have to wait and see.
Cody & QT VS Butcher & Blade was a great tag match, and a great showing for QT as he gets back into wrestling full time. QT comes out of this looking like a hero, even though he does lose. MJF made them his mercenaries, I wonder if we see them more closely involved with him later on. MJF himself has a pretty good promo segment, but it really just sets up for stuff after the holidays. I wonder if MJF is going to make Cody have to fight Wardlow, Sutter and Williams in a gauntlet match in order to get at him. Cody also has Darby Allin on his side now, so maybe Allin keeps an eye on whoever is ringside so they don’t screw Cody over. I like what’s developing for Omega and Hangman as a team, despite Hangman saying he’s not in The Elite anymore. Taking the final moment suggests there could be tension between Omega and Hangman in the near future, and a match between them would be a great element to Hangman’s story.
PAC also wants after Omega, and I do see his point of being cheated opportunities. He was #1 contender for a moment, but mostly because of story demands, Pac didn’t get his shot before being moved down a spot. Pac VS Omega III will be another great match, and that should be a contender’s match to face whoever comes out of the more than likely Jericho VS Moxley title match. I’m also surprised at certain choices for contender’s matches. Big Swole VS Emi Sakura was a great match, and a big win for the newest signee. Swole takes down the #3 woman, but I’m surprised Kris Statlander is getting a shot. I suppose this implies that the new rankings will not have Hikaru Shida as #1, and Britt Baker moves up in her place. Of course, both women and Riho being named by Brandi Rhodes in her new promo probably means something, too, so be watching for Brandi and Awesome Kong to have something to do during that match.
The main event tag match was insane, and absolutely fitting of being a #1 contender’s match. All of that stuff was incredible, from start to finish, even getting others involved because obviously that’s the move to play. The Bucks winning was not that surprising, they have a lot of experience with SoCal Uncensored, especially from ROH. Their match next week is going to be great, and will just up the hype for the last AEW of 2019 even more.
My Score: 9.2/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Marina Shafir storms out here!
She throws some poor rando around on stage, and then kicks her off stage, to then storm into the ring. Marina intimidates Arkady Aura into giving up her mic, then here come the Death Riders! Claudio Castagnoli SHOVES a cameraman down, then SMASHES the camera! Then he CHOKE SLAMS the cameraman through a table! Wheeler Yuta beats up more equipment, the fans boo these sore losers, because clearly this is all in response to losing the AEW World Trios Championships just last night. Boston tells off Yuta but he just uses that as motivation. Jon Moxley is in the ring, waiting for all of this to calm down a bit.
Marina gives Moxley the mic, and Moxley tells the fans and everyone celebrating last night better enjoy it now. “Hobbs, Swerve, Shibata, enjoy it now! Because it’s the last chance you’re gonna have to celebrate for a long time!” The fans boo, but Moxley tells The Young Bucks he officially doesn’t like them, he doesn’t like looking at them, so they better stay in their own lane. They cross the line with Moxley, he swears to God that they are never seen or heard from again, and he means that! Fans are torn there, but Moxley says from the first day he started in this sport, there was one undisputed baddest man in pro-wrestling. That man is Samoa Joe.
The fans cheer for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” and Moxley says he has always shown Joe respect, treated him with reverence. The fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Yuta tells them to shut up! Moxley says he has given Joe that reverence, he has given Joe his space, and it could’ve stayed that way. But Joe started something that Moxley has to finish. Because Moxley doesn’t know any other way, he will not run, he will not hide, he will not roll over and die. he knows no other way to do this but to fight Joe to the death for the AEW World Championship! Tomorrow, now, for better or worse! Mox will be clear: He is challenging Joe!
The fans again chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” Moxley says that’s all he’s gotta say. Joe’s known Moxley long enough to know exactly what he’s dealing with. Moxley then storms off, leading the Death Riders away. Will Samoa Joe accept that challenge, and perhaps even go Double or Nothing?
Kevin Knight VS Lance Archer w/ Don Callis!
The Jet is feeling real good having his share of $400,000, and he’s preparing for next month’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors tournament. But will Knight still be too fly? Or will he be sent crashing down by the Murderhawk Monster?

Archer tumbles out of the ring, Knight runs, and he WRECKS Archer with a dropkick! Archer pinballs off the desk, then Knight goes up the corner. But Callis grabs at Knight’s foot! The fans boo, Callis gets away with that, but Archer drags Knight down!
Archer ROCKS Knight, then SWINGS him into the steel steps! Archer is all fired up, Callis is happy, but the fans boo while Collision goes picture in picture.
Archer drags Knight up, brings him around, and whips him hard into railing! Knight sputters, the fans cheer him on, but Archer brings Knight up. Archer ROCKS Knight, sits him in a chair, and then runs up to BOOT him down! Knight slumps against the barriers while Archer refreshes the count. But this just lets Callis get his shots in! Callis hammers Knight, but stops before he gets caught. Callis talks smack on the fans, especially that one guy in the third row. Archer stands Knight up against barriers, calls out a small child in their father’s arms, and then CHOPS Knight! Archer drags Knight along the way, taunts more fans, but Knight fires body shots!
Knight CHOPS Archer, but Archer isn’t even bothered! Archer whips Knight back into the ring, then storms in after him.

Archer climbs up, taunts the fans, and he smothers Knight! Archer rains down fists, but he stops short of ten to rob the fans the satisfaction! Spring Breakthru returns to single picture and Archer runs corner to corner. ELBOW! Archer keeps moving, and he ELBOWS Knight again! Archer wants more, so he runs again, to ELBOW Knight again!

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
The Jet flies high and takes the win! Will this literally big win help Knight take over the BOSJ?
The Opps speak.
After Dynamite went off the air, the NEW AEW World Trios Champions regrouped backstage. Samoa Joe said, “Do you understand the unusual thing about predators? Predators tend to think they are the largest and most evil thing in the jungle. They think that nothing pursues them because they are the pursuers. Tonight, the Death Riders learned that wasn’t the case. See, we are The Opps. We are not a movement, we are not an understanding between gentlemen, no. We are men who only need an opportunity and excuse to commit violence. We are men like Shibata. We are men like myself. And now, Death Riders, you learned we are men like Willy Hobbs.
“We are The Opps. We are your AEW Trios Champions. And we are coming for so much more.” The Death Riders were the hunters but are now the hunted, will their reign of terror end thanks to The Opps?
BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Collision!
While Collision will return to Saturday nights, it will also have to wait until after coverage of the NBA Playoffs. The silver lining? It’ll be live from coast to coast! Make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the Playoff Palooza!
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter & Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with these two ahead of their Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament match, set for next week on Dynamite. It is a semifinal match, and yet this is also the first time Kris and Jamie face off 1v1. The winner goes on to Double or Nothing to face Mercedes Mone in the tournament finals, but Kris stops Renee there. Enough about Mone. And enough about Toni Storm, honestly. There are plenty of other women in this locker room who work just as hard, if not harder, than those two. Jamie says she won’t disagree there. Jamie works hard, Kris works hard, and Jamie won’t stand here to give endless pats on the back.
But Jamie also knows Kris is good, being a former TBS Champion. And Kris knows Jamie is good, being a former AEW Women’s World Champion. They both know they can go, and this right here has been a long time coming. Whoever wins this, they better go all the way. See you Wednesday, mate. That match is for Dynamite, but will Kris get a leg up on Mone in the tag match later tonight?
Tony Schiavone reads a letter from FTR.
Given the suspension as announced last night, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are not allowed in the building, so they sent this message instead.
“Dear Tony & Nigel, I (Dax) wish I could take back everything we did to you guys last week. It was completely unacceptable, unnecessary, and unwarranted. I honestly think the punishment for us wasn’t severe enough.” Schiavone explains it is a suspension for a week, without pay. Dax’s letter continues to say, “Tony, I would never have gone through with the piledriver with you. You said some things about my daughter that I won’t hold against you. But in the heat of the moment, I felt I was justified to scare you a little. I love you, Tony.” Schiavone rolls his eyes, the fans boo because they don’t believe Dax’s words.
Schiavone explains this next part is addressed to Nigel. “I never wanted things to get physical between the three of us, I know your body, and your mind for that matter, is very fragile.” Nigel rolls his eyes at the passive aggressiveness there. “I’m sure you were thinking the same thing with emotions as we were. Even though you probably knew there was no way you could ever beat us up, LOL. Again, my sincerest apologies to you both, and I hope we can just move forward in a professional and productive manner. With love, Dax Harwood.” The fans still boo the ingenuine sentiments, and Nigel sarcastically accepts the apology. Will FTR ever actually learn their lesson?

Claudio winds up, runs up, but Cole dodges! Now Claudio hits the barriers! Cole fires forearms, stalks Claudio around the way, and he fires forearms again. Claudio YANKS Cole into the barriers! The ring count climbs, Claudio hauls Cole up, BARRIER BACK SUPLEX! Cole flops to the floor and the fans lose their minds! Claudio refreshes the ring count, but he does wait on Cole. Cole slowly crawls, so Claudio goes out to fetch him. Claudio UPPERCUTS Cole, Cole staggers around, and Claudio military presses him! Claudio TOSSES Cole out into the crowd! The fans go nuts again, and they cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this possible.
Claudio storms into the ring, soaks up the heat, and the ref checks Cole. That was a rough landing on that hardwood floor, but it seems Cole is okay to continue. The fans rally for Cole as he hobbles his way back to ringside. Cole rolls in, but Claudio runs up to LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cole stays in this but Claudio clamps onto him with a chinlock. Cole endures, the fans rally, but Claudio squeezes tight. Cole fights around, fights to his feet, and the fans fire up as Cole fires body shots. But Claudio knees low, then TOSSES Cole back out! Cole flops to the floor, the fans boo more, but Claudio just soaks it all up as Collision goes picture in picture.
Cole gets checked by Doc Sampson, given that big bruise right on his side. The ring count climbs all the while, and Claudio paces as he waits on a verdict from Doc. Cole seems to be okay to continue, and he crawls his way over. Cole grabs at the apron skirt, drags himself up, and springs in at 9! Claudio is right on him and rains down fists! Claudio is all fired up, and also sports a cut on his arm from hitting these barriers. Claudio scoops to hit a BACKBREAKER, and then he bends Cole against his knee! Cole endures, throws hands from below, but Claudio shoves him down! Cole avoids the elbow drop! Claudio snarls, but Cole fires a forearm!
Claudio UPPERCUTS, Cole fires another forearm, repeat! Claudio looms over Cole but Cole still comes back with a forearm! The shots go back and forth, but then Claudio smothers Cole with a chinlock! Cole endures and fights back up, but Claudio pushes him down to the mat! Claudio leans on the hold as he grinds Cole down. Cole fights up again, fires body shots, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture. Claudio ROCKS Cole, runs, but Cole ROCKS Claudio! Claudio UPPERCUTS into a backslide! TWO, and Cole fireman’s carries, but Claudio fights free! Claudio whips, UPPERCUTS, then whips corner to corner.
Claudio runs in and UPPERCUTS! Then he whips corner to corner again, for another UPPERCUT! Claudio tries again, but Cole SUPERKICKS him down! The fans fire up while a standing count begins again! Cole is in a corner, but Claudio rises up to get him. Cole JAWBREAKERS, then ELBOWS, then BOOTS! Claudio still comes back, Cole gets around, BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Cole is frustrated and sore, but he still stands up. The fans fire up as Cole is in the corner, and he climbs up the ropes! Cole aims, Claudio stands, PANAMA- BACKDROP! Claudio wags his finger, then he storms up, but has to fight off another fireman’s carry!
Claudio short arm LARIATS, then he drags Cole up! Claudio reels Cole in, but Cole BACKDROPS! Claudio just manages to land out, but Cole SUPERKICKS again! Cole now fireman’s carries, for USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Claudio stays in this and Cole is frustrated, but the fans rally up behind Cole. Cole goes back to the corner, hops up again, and Claudio’s up. PANAMA SUN- NO, Claudio trips and SWINGS Cole! The fans are torn as Cole goes around and around! TEN and Claudio THROWS Cole! Cover, TWO!! But into a CROSSFACE! Claudio pulls back on Cole but Cole endures! The fans rally as Cole reaches out. Cole rolls to a cover, TWO!
Claudio THROWS Cole to a corner! Claudio runs, UPPERCUTS, and then runs again! But Cole DUMPS Claudio out! Claudio HOTSHOTS Cole, hurries up the corner, then leaps, into a SUPERKICK! Cole covers, TWO!! Claudio is still in this, but both men are running on fumes. Cole rises up, brings down the kneepad, and says it’s time. But Claudio stops Cole to waistlock, only for Cole to PELE! Cole runs, into a POP-UP UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO!! Cole survives and Claudio is in disbelief! Cole goes to a corner as Claudio snarls and rises up. Claudio runs up, UPPERCUTS, and UPPERCUTS, and UPPERCUTS!
The ref backs Claudio off, the fans boo, but Claudio just seethes. Cole drags himself up with the ropes, Claudio runs back in, UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! Claudio just UPPERCUTS and ELBOWS away! The ref backs Claudio off, warns him to listen to authority, but Claudio goes back in for more UPPERCUTS! The fans rally for Cole as he takes these shots, but then Claudio hoists him up top! Claudio climbs, goes to the very top, SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Cover, ONE, and into a ghost pin! COLE WINS!!!
Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Claudio is in shock! But perhaps his anger got the better of him as he could’ve done things different. But the rest of the Undisputed Kingdom/Paragon is here to celebrate with their guy! Will Cole, Roddy & Kyle all be rolling on the road to Double or Nothing? Wait, now Claudio FLIPS the desk over in his anger! And then he stands it up on it’s side to tip it the other way! And another way! Yuta and Moxley hurry out here to try and calm Claudio down, and the fans taunt Claudio, “That’s expensive! That’s expensive!” They even chant “LOSERS! LOSERS!” The Death Riders storm off, what will satiate their anger?
Backstage interview with “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith.
Lexy Nair is with the former Learning Tree Branches, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. She brings up how last week, Chris Jericho said he wasn’t angry, he was just disappointed, and then he left them to themselves. Where do they go from here? Bill says Jericho was disappointed in them, but Bill is disappointed in Jericho. Jericho is supposed to be the leader, and yet he walks out on them? Quite honestly, Bill is getting… angry. Keith wants Bill to chill. Not right now. What? What’s the difference? They talked about this in private, what’s the difference with it being now? Keith says it is like Bill just said: It was in private.
Keith knows Jericho said they were family, and that means something to Keith. And he just feels that if they’re family, they should handle this like family, and that is internally. And maybe, if Bill didn’t put Jericho on blast last week, Jericho wouldn’t have left. Bill understands, family is very important. That is why Keith wants to get back in the good graces of Jericho. Bill gets that. He just isn’t sure they should be living and dying at the whims of Jericho. Either way, the strategy moving forward is the same: They need to get in the ring, crack some skulls, and stack some wins. Lexy, to answer the question of what’s next, that is next.
Bill heads out, Keith follows, but will they do better or worse without The Nueve?
Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Rosario Grillo, Leon St. Giovanni & KM!
Finally, El Toro Blanco has returned! Rush leads Dralistico y The Beast Mortos into action again, will LFI finally stampede through AEW?
The trios sort out and LFI just attacks! Dralistico has Grillo, Rush has KM and Mortos as LSG! Things spill out side, LFI send their opponents into barriers, and then Darlistico CHOPS Grillo! Rush stomps KM, Dralistico stomps Grillo, and Mortos is back in the ring. The fans fire up with Mortos, and Dralistico sends Grillo into more railing! Rush regroups with his hermanos, both literal and in arms. Dralistico CHOPS LSG, Mortos SPLASHES, and then Mortos whips LSG corner to corner for another SPLASH! Mortos whips LSG to ropes now, for a POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Tag to Dralistico and he springboards in, FLYING CODE BREAKER!
LSG flounders around and the fans fire up. KM tags in, but Dralistico SOBATS, KICKS, and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up as Dralistico tags in Rush! The fans fire up and Rush SUPERMAN PUNCHES KM! Then he DECKS LSG, HEADBUTTS Grillo, and he lets Dralistico FLY! Down go LSG and Grillo! Rush then says, “You mess with the bull…” YOU GET THE BULL’S HORNS!! KM takes those right in the face! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: La Faccion Ingobernable, by pinfall
LFI makes quick work, and Rush says LFG! Will these three be like bulls in a China shop when it comes to the AEW Trios Division?
Backstage interview with Kevin Knight.
Renee catches up to The Jet as he and “Speedball” Mike Bailey say hey. A big congratulations for Knight in winning against Archer. Renee is pretty sure that match came about because Callis didn’t like the rejection he got in trying to recruit Knight and Speedball. Knight says pretty much, but that’s understandable. He doesn’t think the Don- Ricochet steps in, backwards hat and military coat not really going together, but he tells Knight to shut it. Ricochet says these goofs are not the story of the week. The story is how they screwed Ricochet last week and stole that prize money!
Speedball says if by “screwed,” Ricochet means Speedball’s team beat him fair and square to win 400 stacks, then yeah, he got screwed. Ricochet says first, you pinned Mortos, not Ricochet. And seeing as how they’re the new guys here, here’s some “veteran advice.” Don’t upset the top talent in AEW. You don’t disrupt the chain of command. And since Knight and Speedball are so low, at the bottom of the pole, take his advance before something bad happens. Knight says Ricochet has it all twisted, they respect him. Knight and Speedball respect the game, the in-ring talent, the hot wife, all of that.
But anything that Ricochet can do, the Jet can, too. In fact, here’s something he can do that Ricochet can’t. And then he shakes them dreads! Ricochet says here’s what he can do: he can smack Knight in his mouth! Then do it then! Maybe he will, if Knight keeps talking! Knight fakes a slap and makes Ricochet flinch! Ricochet says okay, he wants trouble now. Yeah, Knight needs that. Speedball says okay, just not tonight. Speedball and Knight head out, Renee tosses her hair and leaves. But will the One & Only find he’s the only one with a problem?
ROH World TV Championship: Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Nick Wayne!
If Christian Cage is to be believed, this match has come about all thanks to him pulling the strings. But at the same time, he told his “son” that he’d have to win this one on his own. Will The Prodigy make The Patriarch of the Patriarchy proud? Or will the Commander of the Skies ruin Christian’s “gift?”
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s the real star of ROH TV!
The Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick SPITS at Komander! The bell rings, the fans boo, and Komander DORPKCIKS Nick! Komander fires off hands in the corner, Nick scurries away but Komander keeps on him! Komander CHOPS, Nick kicks low, and then Nick ROCKS Komander. Nick storms up, but Komander kicks, mule kicks, front kicks, and CHOPS! The fans fire up, Komander whips, but Nick reverses. Komander rolls off Nick’s back, then blocks the chop to knuckle lock and CHOP! Komander goes up, up, jumps around, and then FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up again while Nick flounders away.
Komander runs in, Nick TOSSES him to the ramp! Nick comes back, but Komander GAMANGIRIS him down! Komander goes up with Nick in the drop zone! But Nick hurries away, no Cielito. Komander still tightrope walks to ARABIAN PRESS, only for Nick to put him on the apron! Komander RAMS into Nick, springboards, and CROSSBODIES! Then DROPKICKS! The fans fire up while Nick bails out to the ramp. Komander aims, springboards, but Nick dodges! Komander comes back, Nick puts him in the ring, then he ducks a haymaker to HOTSHOT! Komander falls and the fans boo, but Nick checks his teeth.
We see Christian Cage, Kip Sabian & Mother Shayna are watching this backstage as Nick hurries back in the ring. Nick stomps Komander, RAMS him into a corner, then puts him up top. Komander wobbles, Nick winds up to CHOP, then Nick climbs. Komander fires hands and Nick backs off. Komander hops down, springboards, but Nick SHOVES him down! Komander crashes to the floor and Collision goes picture in picture.
Abrahantes coaches Komander, and Nick goes outside to taunt the fans. Nick then fetches Komander to THROW him into railing! Komander writhes, Nick soaks up heat much like he did during Prelude to Spring Breakthru. Nick fetches Komander again, puts him in the ring, and taunts the fans before stepping inside. Cover, TWO! Nick is annoyed but he looms over Komander. Nick drags Komander up, throws him into the ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Nick steps off and he taunts the fans before he CHOKES Komander again! The ref counts again, Nick steps off, and Komander sputters while Nick swaggers around.
Nick drags Komander up, brings him around, and snapmares for a leg drop! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this and Nick grows frustrated. Nick tells the fans to shut up, but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Nick again has Komander on the ropes, literally. Nick whips Komander then KNEES him against the ropes! Nick soaks up the heat, whips Komander again, but Komander springboards to go up and FLYING ARM-DRAG! Then he reels Nick into a EURO CLUTCH! TWO!! Nick escapes in time, but Komander CHOPS! And CHOPS! Nick kicks low, runs, but Komander scoops to BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up while both men are down! Abrahantes and Boston rally for “KO-MAN-DER!” Nick goes to a corner, Komander runs up, but Nick dodges! Nick runs in, but Komander puts him up top, ROCKS and CHOPS him, then triangle jump ENZIGIRIS!
Nick flops to the ramp and the fans fire up! Komander builds speed, and he FLIES to SWANTON Nick on the ramp! A rough landing no matter what, but Komander still kicks Nick in the ring. Komander aims from the corner, tunes up the band and the fans join in. Komander runs, goes up, up, and MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Nick survives but the fans taunt him with “Whose Mom?” “NICK’S MOM!” Komander drags Nick up, torture racks, but Nick fires hands! Nick is free, he goes to a corner, but Komander runs up. Nick goes up and over, victory rolls, TWO! Komander runs back in, but Nick sends him hard into buckles!
The fans boo while Nick takes aim. Nick kicks but Komander ducks it! Komander RAMS Nick into the corner, then hops up, POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO! Nick survives and both men are down while the fans fire back up. Komander goes back to the corner, aims and springboards, but Nick slips around! DRAGON SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Nick is stunned, but he takes aim again! Komander rises, into Nick’s ROUNDHOUSE! Then up, up, WAYNE- TIGER FEINT sweeps the legs! And then a FLYING DESTROYER!! Nick tumbles out of the ring, staggers around, and the fans are thunderous as Komander builds speed!
Komander goes up, up, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS!! Direct hit on Nick and Boston is erupting! Komander puts Nick in, “This is Awesome!” as Komander climbs again. Nick is in the drop zone, for CIELITO LINDO onto BOOTS!! Nick turns things around, then takes aim, ROUNDHOUSE! Nick roars, reels Komander in to pump handle and PRODIGY PLEX!! Cover, NICK WINS!!!
Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall (NEW ROH World Television Champion)
Boston doesn’t like it, but Nick Wayne just became the youngest singles champion in ROH! The Patriarchy is certainly proud, but then Christian Cage leaves Shayna and Kip to go off somewhere. Will he prepare some other gift for his Prodigy as celebration?
Hologram is loading.
And Hologram will return to action next week for Playoff Palooza! Will the incredible win streak continue?
Top Flight speaks.
Dante Martin calls out Action Andretti & Lio Rush to say, “Guess what? We just came from Tony Khan’s office, and there’s no more running, there’s no more hiding, no more ducking, because we have a match next week.” Darius says it isn’t just any match. This has been going on for far too long, so they’re over the wrestling part of this. They want to fight The Cru! Forget the rules, forget the tags, it is a TORNADO TAG MATCH! Leila Grey tells Action & Lio that they’ll see ’em next week for Collision: Playoff Palooza. That is, if The Cru has the balls to show up. Well hold on, The Cru shows up now!
Lio & Action tell Top Flight that they don’t have to wait! Security steps in and keeps this from getting out of hand, but what will happen when there’s nothing holding these teams back?
BREAKING NEWS for a future Dynamite!
It will be AEW’s return to Portland, Oregon, June 11th, when AEW does the unthinkable! It will be the first-ever AEW Summer Blockbuster, a FOUR HOUR edition of Dynamite! That’s right, F O U R!! Get tickets next Thursday, or at least set your DVRs so you do not miss what could be an instant classic!
Toni Storm is here!
The Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion was present last night to watch from afar, but now she wants to get a closer look at tonight’s main event!
Mercedes Mone & Harley Cameron VS Kris Statlander & Julia Hart!
The CEO is reluctant to step back into the ring alongside the wild Aussie, but Harley’s probably the only person who would team with her at this point. Can Harley help Mone keep the Money (Wrath) Train on track? Or will the #BornAgainKristen and the Princess of the Black Throne make a winning combination?
The teams sort out and Mone starts against Kris for both a revival of their rivalry, and also a teaser of what could be for the Owen Hart Cup finals. The two tie up, and Kris SHOVES Mone down! The fans cheer as Kris flexes, but Mone tags Harley. Harley and Kris tie up, and Kris SHOVES Harley away! Harley tags Mone back in, and then picks up Mini Mone! Wait, wait, Harley tags in Mini Mone? Is this a substitution or a 3v2 Handicap now? Harley THROWS Mini Mone at Kris, which Kris easily catches. Kris passes Mini Mone to Julia, how just puts Mini Mone down to step on! Harley tries to roll Kris up but Kris stays up.
Kris drags Harley to her feet, then slips around to roll Harley up! Harley rolls through, Oklahoma Rolls back, TWO! Kris runs up, Harley headlocks, but Kris powers up and out. Harley tilt-o-whirls and HARLEY-GO-ROUNDS! Kris ends up in a corner, the fans fire up, and Harley shouts, “Feel The Wrath~!” Harley runs in, Kris dodges, and then Kris runs in. Harley ELBOWS Kris, has Kris in the ropes, and sunset flips! TWO! Kris kicks, then deadlifts Harley for a suplex!

Harley JAWBREAKERS, then runs, dodges, and ENZIGIRIS! Tag to Mone, but Julia drop toeholds! Julia dribbles Mone off the mat, but Mone gets free. Mone goes to a corner, Julia runs up and ELBOWS! Julia runs side to side, tags Kris, then goes back to ELBOW Mone again! Kris runs in and KNEES Mone down! Kris brings Mone around to scoop, and FALL AWAY SLAMS! The fans fire up while Mone flounders out and Kris flexes.
Kris goes to the apron, Mone blocks the kick, but Kris handstands out of the throw! Kris also avoids the sweep of her arms, but Mone goes up! Kris avoids the meteora, and they both stop as the other shows haymaker! They then look at Toni Storm, and then they both ROCK the other! Julia and Harley run up, but Mone and Kris DECK them! Then they fire fast hands with each other! The fans fire up, Kris KNEES low, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Kris reels Mone in and FLAPJACKS her off the apron! Mone flounders, Kris stands on her while doing the CEO dance! Kris hauls Mone up and into the ring, covers, TWO! Kris drags Mone up, tags Julia, and they mug Mone. Julia ROCKS Mone, whips her to a corner, but Mone reverses. Mone runs up, blocks boots and ROCKS Julia! Julia is in the ropes and Mone hits the STOCK DROP! Mone huffs ‘n’ puffs before she drags Julia to a cover, TWO! Mone is annoyed but she drags Julia up again. Mone snapmares Julia, runs, and METEORAS! Cover, TWO! Julia stays in this but Mone taunts Kris. Mone dares Julia to crawl to Kris, but then she bumps Julia off buckles.
Mone tags Harley and they mug Julia. Harley brings Julia around, whips her to ropes, and ELBOWS her down! Cover, TWO! Harley stays between Julia and Kris, then brings her around. Julia JAWBREAKERS free, then CLUBS Harley. Julia CHOPS Harley at the ropes, CHOPS her again, then fires forearms. The ref counts, Julia backs off, but then Julia whips Harley to ropes. Harley ducks ‘n ‘dodges, and DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! The fans rally while Julia and Harley crawl, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as they hot tag Mone and Kris! The fans fire up as Mone CHOPS, knuckle locks and goes up, up, and FLYING ARM-DRAGS!
Mone does her dance, then runs corner to corner, DOUBLE KNEES! Mone reels Kris in, the fans rally, and Mone snap suplexes! That’s Una Amiga, and then Mone gets Kris up for Dos Amigas! then THREE AMIGAS! But Kris stops it before quatro! Harley makes the save, and she helps Mone, only for Kris to DOUBLE SUPLEX! Kris rolls through?! DOS DOUBLE SUPLEX! Kris rolls through again and THREE DOUBLE SUPLEX!! The fans are thunderous, we see Jamie Hayter watching backstage and applauding, and Kris puts Mone & Harley in the drop zone! Kris goes up, but Harley rolls with Mone to avoid the 450 Splash!
The fans fire up as Kris tags Julia while Mone and Harley seem to have a tender moment of friendship. Julia ruins the moment with a STANDING MOONSUALT!

But Harley rolls Kris up! TWO!! Mone is stuck as Kris scoops Harley and hits a BACKBREAKER! Then Kris cording holds Harley’s arm, kisses the bicep, and hits the Hayterade?! Cover, Kris & Julia win!
Winner: Kris Statlander & Julia Hart, by pinfall
That wasn’t just the game winner Kris hit on Harley, it was a message sent to Jamie! Luther helps Toni Storm to the ring so she can applaud Kris, and even blow a kiss! Will Kris go Double or Nothing with Mone to then go All In with Toni? Or will Kris feel a Hayterade from the source?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to not just wrap Spring Breakthru but to keep things going immediately from last night. Very good promo from The Opps after their win, and some great stuff with The Death Riders for once. The Death Riders throwing a fit was good stuff, and Moxley had a good promo to call out Samoa Joe. Moxley wants his match with Samoa Joe, that’s a great detail in itself, and that is going to be a great match for Double or Nothing. Claudio stepping up to Adam Cole’s Open Challenge was also cool, and that was a great match. Cole surviving was a good touch, especially with how it just pissed Claudio off more.
Very good promo from Bill & Keith, and it feels very obvious that Keith will betray Bill to side with Jericho. We will get Bill VS Jericho, Keith will screw Bill, but then something will happen where Bill gets his rematch and wins over Jericho in the end. Really good “letter” from FTR to keep up their passive aggressive nature, and you can bet they’ll just do all the same things again next week when they’re back. Great to see LFI back in full force, but let’s just hope they actually get going this time around. There could even be some interesting intertwining of stories if LFI challenge for the trios titles at Double or Nothing, putting Joe in a double header situation since he’ll face Moxley for the world title.
Good promo from Top Flight with Cru to hype up next week’s Collision. But does every post-basketball Collision need a nickname? And as nicknames go, “Playoff Palooza” sounds more like a promotional deal run at a supermarket or car dealership. Really good stuff from the Don Callis Family tonight. Great match from Knight VS Archer and a great win for Knight. Knight and Speedball have a good promo with Ricochet, and a match of Knight VS Ricochet would be awesome, I hope we see it before Knight’s off for Best of the Super Juniors.
Great tag match of Alexander & Takeshita VS Ishii & Rocky, and I should’ve realized watching ROH Prelude to Spring Breakthru was teasing something for tonight. Rocky was salty over that loss there, and then he got even saltier during this match. Great to see Trent back, and now Roppongi Vice is Don Callis Family! They can be the tag team of the faction while Konosuke, Kyle Fletcher and now Josh Alexander all go for singles titles. Awesome ROH World Television Championship match from Komander and Nick Wayne, and again to my surprise, the Prelude foreshadowed stuff. Nick brought momentum into this match, he won this title, and unless he loses it back to Komander at like Supercard of Honor, he probably will bring the title to NJPW BOSJ.
Another great handicap match win for Megan Bayne, but she’ll still be spinning her wheels until after Double or Nothing with all this other stuff going on. Great promo from Mone, Harley & Mini Mone before their main event tag match, and same for Kris having a good promo with Jamie Hayter. That was of course a great match, and Kris winning using Jamie’s finisher was wild. I feel like with Toni Storm paying more attention to Kris, that’s a sign Kris is beating Jamie to face Mone at Double or Nothing. It’s still anyone’s guess who wins the Cup, because Toni VS Kris and Toni VS Mone are both great matches.
My Score: 8.9/10

Boston fires up as their C E O is here, one match away from going Double or Nothing for the Owen Hart Cup. But will #FourBeltsMone get a win over the Forever ROH Women’s Champion? Or will Athena prove she is every bit the Fallon Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, and THE most dominant women’s champion in all of wrestling today?
The bell rings and the fans are strongly behind “C E O! C E O!” Mone. Mone and Athena stare down, slowly circle, and hear the fans are already losing their minds for this veritable dream match. Athena and Mone tie up, go around, and Mone arm-drags Athena. They tie up again, Athena arm-drags Mone now. They tie up a third time, end up on the ropes, then tumble out to the apron and ramp! The fans fire up, the ref reprimands, but Mone and Athena stand up to go up the ramp and to the stage! They finally break, and both women tell the other that the cup is theirs. The fans fire up as Athena and Mone reset to tie up on stage!
Mone waistlocks, Athena fights it, and they go all the way back down the ramp, to tumble into the ring this time! The fans fire up as the two fight up, and Athena reaches back to headlock. Mone powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, and the fans fire up more. Mone and Athena stare down, tie up, and then Athena arm-drags! Athena trips Mone to a cover, ONE! Mone trips Athena to a cover, ONE! Athena hits an Oklahoma Roll, TWO! Mone reels Athena in, hooks the arms and turns her for a backslide, TWO! Athena mule kicks, her fans getting louder for her, and Athena reels Mone in for a cradle! TWO, and the two roll and roll and roll!
The fans fire up as the two keep rolling, rolling, rolling, and then finally stops for Mone, TWO! Both women stand up, a bit dizzy, and the fans fire up again. Athena eggs Mone on, Mone storms up on her, and the two tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but Athena powers Mone back. They’re on the ropes, the ref counts, and Athena slowly lets go.

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee Paquette is with the Cowboy, and says she will try this question again from last week. Coming up in mere moments, he faces the Wild Card in the Owen Hart Cup. How has he prepared for this match? Hangman says it is the Wild Card, how can he- The Elite interrupts. The Young Bucks step in and say hey, been a minute. In fact, it was last year’s Blood & Guts when Hangman walked out on them and cost them the entire match. But hey, Matt knows Hangman’s about to apologize, but they’ve already forgiven him, it’s all good. Nick says my God in Heaven, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, does Hangman look good!
And Nick knows that Hangman is happy now, because the Bucks cost Swerve the world title like Hangman wanted. It’s like they’re best friends again. This is great. Now, one more thing. This whole issue Hangman has with Moxley and the Death Riders? Yeah, they can fix that. They’ll patch things up. Because between you and them, the Death Riders are crazy. But The Elite are sure they can get the Death Riders on their side. So here’s what Hangman is gonna do. Hangman is gonna win The Owen, he’ll bring the world title back to The Elite, let The Bucks handle the rest. You got this, Hanger! Go get ’em, champ!
Nick & Matt walk out, but Okada hangs back long enough to ask Hangman, “Why you always angry? Smile! Like this!” Okada has a big goofy grin, Hangman just heads out. Okada says, “B*tch!” Hangman storms back in and Okada apologizes. Just smile. Hangman leaves again, and Okada rolls his eyes. Will the Rainmaker learn not to push Hangman’s buttons if he knows what’s good for him?

The Patriarchy speaks.
Specifically, Nick Wayne says, “The Patriarchy is a hierarchy. And who’s at the top? The father. So when the father disappears, either the whole structure collapses on itself, or someone needs to-” Kip Sabian notices someone off screen, and he taps Nick on the shoulder. Nick asks what’s going on, then looks over. It’s CHRISTIAN CAGE! Christian walks over and says, “Daddy’s home, Nick. It’s been quite a month for you, hasn’t it? And I’ve been watching from afar, and I couldn’t happen to notice one of those weeks, you said you knew the reason why I executed the contract at Revolution and didn’t stick to the plan. But you wanted to say it to my face. Well, say it.”
Nick says the reason Christian didn’t stick to the plan is because he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if Cope became AEW World Champion before Christian did. Oh, is that what Nick thinks? Well, that’s what Nick thinks, so it isn’t a fact, it’s just an assumption. And to assume makes an ass out of you and me. But what is fact is, the last time they saw each other face to face, Nick had a fire lit under him. Christian liked that. Make no mistake, Christian gave Nick this month to find himself. To find the confidence to keep that flame growing. Christian was impressed with what Nick did while Christian was away.
So impressed, in fact, that Christian got Nick something. It has been a lifelong dream for Nick to wrestle for NJPW, in the Best of the Super Juniors tournament. So Christian took it upon himself to procure a spot for Nick in that tournament. Now, the best way to get ready for a tournament like BOSJ, Nick, is to keep your momentum going. That is what they will do. Christian will keep Nick very busy until it is time to head for Japan. That starts tomorrow night, Collision: Spring Breakthru, here in Boston. Nick will face one of the best super juniors in the world, Komander, for his ROH World Television Championship.
Christian knows Nick will go out there, win that match, and do it by himself. Nick’s gonna that title home to The Patriarchy, isn’t he? Because Christian knows his baby boy wouldn’t intentionally let his father down, now would he? Christian pats Nick on the cheek, to then basically SLAP him! Nick is fuming, Mother Shayna calms him down, but Christian has her and Kip follow him out. The Patriarchy’s Prodigy has that fire inside, but will that flame blaze a trail to the top of the wrestling world? Or is it going to burn him up inside?
FTR has been suspended!
Given their actions last week, both threatening Tony Schiavone & Nigel McGuinness, as well as going too far with Matthew Menard, Angelo Parker and Daniel Garcia, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler have been suspended for one week, and their paychecks for this week have also been docked as a fine. Will this time off help FTR realize where they’ve gone wrong?

Winners: Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall (still AEW World Tag Team Champions)
The Gates of Agony may dominate ROH, but The Hurt Syndicate still runs AEW! And wait, here comes MJF. Lashley is annoyed by this scumbag’s persistence, but the fans cheer as MJF makes his way to the ring. MJF has the mic to tell them to cut his music, and the fans cheer him on. MJF says, “Ladies and gentlemen, enough about how great I am. Although, I am enjoying it, don’t get me wrong. But give it up for the Hurt Syndicate, baby!” The fans cheer, and MVP says see? MJF’s not all bad. The fans sing, “We Hurt~ People!” but MJF says no, Boston is way too white, and they’re not even on the same beat, so just stop.
But here’s the deal: As they know, MJF brings a lot to the table. Montel knows this, Shelton knows this–and he looks great by the way–and well, not to name names, but some of us are slow learners. Lashley gets mad because we know who he means, and MVP asks MJF why he has to do that. MVP gets Lashley to calm down, and MJF apologizes. Did he say a name, though? Boston says no, he didn’t. MJF thanks them for having his back. Now, when MJF talks about the talent he brings to the table, he’s not talking about his own. No, no, because MJF has some talent in the back that is just dying- MVP says MJF just needs to put the cards on the table, he already pissed Lashley off as it is.
MVP says he loves Max and, but get to the point. MJF says he loves Montel, too. But they’re gonna really like this. Bring ’em out! The Hurt Syndicate music plays as some of Boston’s finest ladies make their way out on stage. MJF seems to have piqued the Hurt Syndicate’s interest as these eight ladies make their way to the ring. MJF has the music cut, the ladies have towels to dry the guys down, and MJF says the Hurt Syndicate can have a night on the town with all these lovely ladies. All MJF requests are the three thumbs up for him to join up. The floor is theirs. MVP asks Shelton and Lashley to do this one more time.
MVP still gives his thumbs up. Shelton? Shelton, pay attention! Shelton stops staring at the ladies long enough to say this is all very nice. But uh, he might need a little more time. Boston boos, MJF tells them it’s cool, it’s fine, everybody shut up! But what does Shelton mean more time? They’ve been talking about this for weeks! Shelton says he’s gonna need some time. Shelton… Are you saying you want the watch on MJF’s wrist? Yes, exactly. MJF knew he liked Shelton! Okay, okay, hear him out. MJF will give him this watch. All Shelton needs to do is give the thumbs up. The fans cheer, and Shelton looks between watch and ladies, then holds out his hand.
Shelton smiles, and gives a thumbs u- Uhhh… Lashley is staring Shelton down… So Shelton gives a thumbs down!? Lashley intimidated Shelton into saying no! MJF says c’mon! They must be out their da- mocracy! MJF loves him some democracy! And he respects the power of the vote! Hell, MJF even respects the power of the people! Maybe not these people, but you get his point. Shelton, what MJF thinks is that he’s growing on Shelton. And tell you what. As a token of his appreciation, MJF will still give him the watch. In fact, if Shelton still wants the ladies, he can still have the ladies. The fans cheer that!
And just know that when MJF joins the Hurt Syndicate, there will be plenty more watches ‘n’ women where that came from. MJF steps out, and he says one more thing, “Bob.” MJF respects him, he is the All Mighty, he’s known for being strong. But y’know what MJF’s known for? Getting what he wants. MVP keeps Lashley calm, the fans chant “He’s Our Scumbag!” MJF asks Lashley if he knows why MJF gets what he wants. He’ll tell you why. It’s because he is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he’s better than you, and you know it. MJF drops the mic then takes his leave. But if possessions and pleasures won’t tempt Lashley, what must MJF offer to change his mind?
AEW returns and…
Alicia Atout catches The Hurt Syndicate and MJF’s ladies heading out. She congratulates them on the impressive win, but brings up that MJF is very persistent. MVP stops her there, wanting to talk with the guys first. MJF asks MJF’s ladies to give them a second, but not to wander off too far now. Lashley again says he still doesn’t trust MJF. MVP knows, but he says Lashley is having a personal reaction to MJF. This is business. Look at it from the business standpoint. MVP knows MJF can be… Annoying? Yes, annoying, but think businesswise. They can still use MJF to get what they want. So all MVP is asking is for Lashley to ease up.
MVP will give Lashley his word: The moment MJF steps outta line… Well, they’ll save that for later. Right now, can we just have a good night? Shelton asks, “Please?” Lashley says sure thing. Ladies, shall we? Yass~! Lashley, Shelton, MVP and the ladies head out to enjoy the Boston nightlife, but will the All Mighty actually give in to the Devil of AEW?
2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Semifinal Round: Will Ospreay VS Konosuke Takeshita!
Stemming from the Don Callis Family dysfunction and fallout, these two are 1-1 from their instant classics last year. Aerial Assassin once again battles The Alpha, who takes the tiebreaker to go Double or Nothing?
Callis of course joins commentary for this one, but is annoyed that there’s another Callis cosplayer. The bell rings and the fans fire up behind Ospreay. The fans lose their minds already as Ospreay and Konosuke stare down. The two slowly circle, the fans fire up more, and the two tie up. Konosuke waistlocks, Ospreay switches, but Konosuke wrenches out. Ospreay rolls and gets free, and Konosuke applauds. The two reset, feel things out, knuckle lock, and then go shoulder to shoulder. Ospreay rolls back, spins, and wrangles Konosuke with a top wristlock. Konosuke fights up, trips Ospreay and has a toehold.
Ospreay uses his free leg to drag Konosuke down. Konosuke clasps hands to fight the armbar, but his shoulders are down so it’s a cover. TWO as Konosuke sits up, and he works to stack Ospreay. ONE as Ospreay pushes Konosuke back down. Konosuke rolls, traps Ospreay’s legs with his own, then waistlocks. Konosuke shifts to get a half nelson, and he turns Ospreay over to a lateral press, ONE! The two stand off and the fans tell off Callis. Callis looks over his shoulder at the fans flipping him off while Konosuke and Ospreay go to corners. Callis says he does not appreciate this treatment, he is simply helping “elevate” commentary.

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS The Opps & ???
As mentioned at the start of the night, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta made sure The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil was in no shape to compete tonight. But even so, the Samoan Submission Specialist and The Wrestler will not let this opportunity at both gold and vengeance pass them by. The question is, will there be a new third man? Or will The Opps be caught lacking?
The Death Riders make their entrance in from the crowd as usual, which is pretty daring given how packed the venue is tonight. As for The Opps, we see Joe & Shibata step on stage, but they’re not alone! POWERHOUSE HOBBS IS HERE!! Will the Book of Hobbs have a chapter about ending the reign of terror? The introductions are made, but then the brawl is on! The fans fire up and the bell rings, Hobbs has Yuta, Shibata has Claudio, and Joe has Moxley! The fans fire up as Moxley spills out of the ring with Joe while Claudio drags Shibata outside. Yuta ducks ‘n’ dodges Hobbs, but then Hobbs CLOBBERS Yuta!
Claudio and Shibata trade heavy forearms, Joe SMACKS Moxley off the apron, and Hobbs whips Yuta to a corner. Yuta staggers, Hobbs CLOBBERS him again! Yuta flounders into the corner, the fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs whips Yuta corner to corner, runs in and SPLASHES! Hobbs shouts, “MEAT!” and the fans chant “MEAT!” with every big lariat! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs then grins as he winds up to “MEAT!” Moxley storms in and he CLUBS Hobbs! That just pisses Hobbs off! The fans tell Moxley he messed up! Moxley bails out, but then Yuta CLUBS Hobbs! Same result as with Moxley!
Hobbs scoops Yuta, carries him around, then hits a RUNNING POWERSLAM! Hobbs tags Joe and the fans cheer. Hobbs stands Yuta up for Joe to JAB! JAB! JAB! Joe fires hands high and low, backs Yuta into a corner, then fires up! RIDGE HAND CHOP! Joe whips corner to corner, runs up, and back ELBOWS, to then PELE! Yuta flops down, Joe stares Moxley down, and fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Joe drags Yuta up, CHOPS him in the corner, then tags Shibata. The fans fire up again as Shibata UPPERCUTS Yuta! And again! And then CHOPS! CHOPS! CHOPS! Shibata snapmares Yuta, runs, and he BOOTS Moxley!
Shibata then clamps onto Yuta and grinds him down. Yuta endures, pries at the hold, and fans taunt Yuta. Yuta fights up, powers up and out, but Shibata BOOTS Moxley again! Yuta CLUBS Shibata, then TOSSES Shibata out. Yuta distracts the ref so Claudio can run and THROW Shibata into railing! The fans boo but Hobbs backs Claudio off. The ref has Hobbs stay back, and Yuta goes out to fetch Shibata. Yuta drags Shibata into the ring, tags Moxley, and the fans boo as Moxley flips off Joe. Joe storms in, the ref stops him, and Moxley KICKS Shibata down! Tag to Claudio, the Death Riders mug Shibata. Claudio drags Shibata up but Shibata CHOPS!
Shibata CHOPS, Claudio eggs him on, repeat! Claudio blocks a chop to short arm LARIAT! Claudio soaks up the heat, then he stomps Shibata. The fans rally, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Claudio drags Shibata up, pushes him to a corner, and UPPERCUTS! Claudio stomps Shibata, tags Moxley, and Moxley runs corner to corner to LARIAT! And then LARIAT! And LARIAT! Tag back to Claudio, the mugging continues, then Claudio tags Yuta. Yuta taunts Hobbs & Joe, Claudio stands Shibata up, and Yuta stomps Shibata down. The ref reprimands but Yuta hooks a leg, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Y uta clamps onto the leg for a toehold. Shibata endures, even as Yuta twists the ankle. Yuta drops an elbow on the knee, then tags Moxley. But then Joe & Hobbs storm in!
The ref stops Joe & Hobbs, Moxley taunts them, and then Moxley drags Shibata around. Moxley stomps Shibata, turns him over, and CLAWS Shibata’s back! The ref reprimands and counts as Moxley CLAWS Shibata more! Moxley fishhooks, the ref counts again, and Moxley pushes Shibata down at 4. Moxley drags Shibata up, has a facelock, and he drags Shibata over to the corner. Tag to Claudio, the mugging continues, and Claudio brings Shibata around for a BIG suplex! Cover, TWO! Shibata stays in this but Claudio stays on him with a top wristlock. Shibata endures, fights around, but Claudio knees him low!
Claudio pushes on the wristlock and grinds Shibata back down. Spring Breakthru returns to single picture while the fans rally behind Shibata. Shibata fights up, but Claudio TOSSES him out! Moxley storms up on Shibata, but Hobbs hurries over to stop that. The ref is busy with Claudio and Moxley, which lets Marina CHOP BLOCK Hobbs! The fans boo but Marina flips them all off. Yuta drags Shibata up and into the ring for Claudio, and Claudio eggs Shibata on. Claudio SLAPS Shibata, kicks him around, but Shibata CHOPS! Claudio ROCKS Shibata! Shibata CHOPS Claudio! Repeat! Claudio shoves Shibata, catches him to a SLEEPER, but Shibata slips around to get a SLEEPER!
The fans fire up as Claudio flails! Claudio JAWBREAKERS free, Shibata staggers into the Death Rider corner, but then Shibata BOOTS Claudio! Shibata crawls away from the corner, the fans rally up, but Claudio whips Shibata back in! BOOT for Moxley! Claudio and Shibata trade forearms again, and Shibata backs Claudio down!

The fans fire up while both men are down! Shibata and Claudio crawl, hot tags to Yuta and Joe!
Joe DECKS Yuta again and again, then atomic drops! Joe runs to BOOT Yuta down! And adds a SENTON! Cover, TWO! Yuta stays in this but Joe stays on him, only for Yuta to CLAW Joe’s eyes! Yuta runs, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, Moxley breaks it! Moxley tags in, then he goes looking under the ring! Moxley grabs a chair! The Maniac no longer cares about winning but about using Champion’s Advantage! The ref tells Moxley to stop right there, but then WILLOW NIGHTINGALE is here! She snatches the chair from Moxley! And she flips him off! Joe BOOTS Moxley down! Yuta goes up to MISSILE DROPKICK Joe!
Shibata BOOTS Yuta! Claudio POP-UP UPPERCUTS Shibata! Hobbs SPINEBUSTERS Claudio! Moxley SHOTGUNS Hobbs! Joe is back as Moxley runs, and Moxley BOOTS Joe! Joe LARIATS Moxley! All six men are down around ringside and Boston is thunderous! Willow coaches The Opps, but now The Young Bucks walk out here? The EVPs are surely going to sway things in the Death Riders’ favor now, given they grab some chairs. But wait! Someone in the crowd snatches Matt’s chair?! IT’S SWERVE STRICKLAND! And he DECKS Matt! Nick runs up, but Swerve BOOTS him! Swerve goes up, DOUBLE KILL STOMPS for The Bucks!!

The fans are thunderous, but Moxley drags Joe up! Underhooks and- NO, Joe wrenches out, COQUINA CLUTCH!!! Moxley is caught, and he’s RIGHT OUT! OPPS WIN!!
Winners: The Opps, by submission (NEW AEW World Trios Champions)
No more reign of terror in the trios division, this one was for Hook! Joe personally gives Hobbs the belt, the pyro goes off, and Boston is all fired up! The Death Riders retreat, and Will Ospreay leads the way as the AEW locker room comes out here to celebrate! The champagne bottles pop off and it’s a toast to The Opps, but perhaps we’re burying the lead as Joe took out THE AEW World Champion! Will Joe look to also dethrone “The One True King” and truly restore the feeling here in AEW?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode of Dynamite here, a lot more than I expected for a themed episode. At the same time, it was a lot of tournament and big story stuff, so they were of course going to go hard. I was a little surprised by the match order, but when they kayfabe’d away Hook being out of action, it did make sense for them to push the trios title to the main event. At the same time, bringing in Hobbs as the third man, adding a lot of overbooking and tying in more story, that was a great way to dethrone the Death Riders and close out the show. Hobbs being a champion again is great for him, and I really do think they should parley this into Joe VS Moxley for the world title at Double or Nothing.
Mercedes Mone VS Athena really could’ve been a main event in itself, but it was still an awesome match even as the opener. Mone winning is fine because Boston, and while I was thinking it’d be Mone VS Athena at All In for the TBS Championship, I suppose they could swing it where it is title for title, TBS Championship and ROH Women’s Championship both on the line. I say that because I still feel like Kris Statlander could be going to All In to face Toni. A little confusing as to why we can’t just get Kris VS Hayter tomorrow night, but Mone & Harley VS Kris & Julia will still be really good. It just feels like they’re giving away the Double or Nothing match just so Mone can have matches both nights in Boston.
Very good promo from The Patriarchy with Christian Cage now being passive aggressive towards Nick Wayne. I like how Christian is taking kayfabe credit for Nick getting in the Best of the Super Juniors, and I do like Nick VS Komander for Collision. No idea if Nick wins that match or not, as it’d be a shame if Nick’s storyline is the reason Komander’s reign comes to an end. But at the same time, how great would it be for the ROH World Television Champion to be part of BOSJ and that big round robin tournament? Though at the same time, something about what Christian said certainly made it feel like Nick will lose, so maybe not.
Great match from Hurt Syndicate VS Gates of Agony, even with Kaun & Liona obviously set up to fail. MJF of course showed up, and while I figured MJF would bribe Hurt Syndicate, I didn’t think it’d be with ladies. Also I think a few, if not all, of the ladies were wrestlers. The redhead was Sloane Jacobs, if I’m not mistaken. But great stuff with Lashley intimidating Shelton into voting against MJF. I feel like MJF should reveal he has been watching the episodes back cuz he wants to keep an eye on the Hurt Syndicate’s “private” conversations, and he can call out MVP for being two-faced saying the Syndicate would just be using MJF for their own gains.
Good promo from Hangman with The Elite, and Okada was cruising for a bruising. Josh Alexander was a great Wild Card, and he has a great match with Hangman, but it made sense for Hangman to win. Alexander possibly joining Callis Family with that bit after is intriguing, but Kyle is now on top going into their semifinal match. I would think that means Hangman wins to go to Double or Nothing. Ospreay VS Konosuke was insane, it might as well have been for the Owen Hart Cup already. Great win for Ospreay, and now even if Kyle defies go home math, Ospreay VS Hangman and Ospreay VS Fletcher are both awesome choices to put on PPV.
My Score: 9.1/10
