Incredible! Shocking! Matt and Nick can’t believe it, but Omega calms them down. Will this new combination within The Elite be what takes the gold from SCU?
The American Nightmare is here!
Cody Rhodes is Miami Vice as he heads to the ring, with plans to respond to MJF’s challenge. Miami is fired up to see him as he gets a mic. “Double A, Arn Anderson, was right when he said that the audience wants this match.” Cody came out arrogantly and self-righteous, and he asked MJF what it would take to have the match. MJF has named his price and it’s “rather expensive.” The AEW Revolution graphics are used to review the stipulations put forward. Starting from the bottom, Cody must have a Steel Cage against MJF’s muscle, Wardlow. The strategy would be such a violent match will take a tole on Cody and soften him up, but it is a surprise. Cody has been in tag teams, factions and such, so he knows when someone is trying to overshadow you. Cody’s conclusion is that after we see Wardlow speak, wrestle and fight, maybe he shouldn’t be carrying MJF’s bags, but MJF should be carrying Wardlow’s. Fans taunt MJF with chants of “Bag Boy!”
Then the controversial second stipulation, Cody must take ten belt lashes on live national television. To whip him. Cody knows the symbolism, but if MJF thinks that making Cody bleed, that is the worst thing, that is flat wrong. And finally, Cody can’t touch MJF until Revolution. Cody doesn’t need to touch MJF, he lives rent free in MJF’s head. We all know what MJF is doing: he is stalling! MJF wants to be famous by any means necessary, he found something he was halfway decent at, and then clings to his tiny bit of internet fame when fans call him a “real, true, old school Heel.” But MJF isn’t old school, he is lazy! So when it comes to the cage, Cody accepts! When it comes to not touching MJF, Cody accepts! And yes, even when it comes to 10 lashes live on Dynamite, Cody accepts! Cody knows what it means to have this match at Revolution. It means Cody failed as a mentor. But Cody will teach MJF that this isn’t the MJF story but a chapter in the Rhodes legacy! Who is left coming out of this the one with a scar story to tell?
Joey Janela speaks.
“2020. A new year, clean slate, a new decade for the Bad Boy.” And what happens? Homecoming for AEW and the first time we see his pretty face, he gets punched in the balls by his ex, Penelope Ford. Joey told her that he didn’t want anything to do with her. But they know the only way she can create buzz for herself is on his name. Now she walks around like hot stuff with her hot new side piece, Kip Sabian. If Superbad wants to play, Janela will play. Cross the line and let’s see what happens. But Janela was getting hit in the balls by his win-loss records. He goes up against Fenix next week with something to prove. Guys like Janela are the backbone in AEW, but things gotta change. Fenix VS Janela, Janela promises to show everyone why everyone else says he’s a “bad, bad boy.” Will things go well for Janela out at sea? Or will it be a bad, bad time?
The Nightmare Collective w/ Luther VS Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida!
Brandi Rhodes & Melanie Cruise see their first bit of action in AEW against a stellar team of the Galaxy’s Greatest Alien and the Stardom Samurai! Will this match be out of this world? Or will Statlander and Shida be brought back down to Earth?
But as Shida makes her entrance, Luther stands in her way. Shida warns him with her kendo stick, but Brandi and “Mel” mug Statlander! Shida SMACKS Luther out of her way and hurries to the ring. The referee reprimands the Collective but Shida scares them off with her kendo stick. Mel comes around to clobber Shida and the match begins!
Mel throws Shida around the ring, and towers over Shida as she throws big forearms. Mel whips Shida corner to corner but Shida goes up and over. Shida huricanranas and Mel bails out. Kris takes care of Mel with a mule kick, then the moonsault! Shida brings out a chair, and fans know what this is for. Shida sets the chair up and Kris holds it in place. Shida uses the chair to launch and KNEE Mel down! The chair is put away as Kris and Shida high-five. They put Mel in the ring and then double dropkick her down! Shida covers, TWO! Shida drags Mel up and fans rally as she tries to suplex. Mel is too big for that so Shida kicks and whips. Mel reverses but Shida holds ropes. Shida kicks Mel back but Brandi swipes at her.

Brandi puts Shida against the ropes to grind a boot in, but the ref counts. Brandi argues with the ref but he reminds her who the authority in the match is.

The two top contenders take down the Nightmare Collective! But this may only be one battle. Who wins the war of the Women’s Division?
The Dark Order has another presenation.
“To date, we have taken in literally thousands of potential new recruits, all interested in what The Dark Order can offer them.” As for their key recruits, well, it’s taking longer than expected. Michael Nakazawa is on their list! He is curious because of the frustrations as a subordinate. And Kenny Omega? His circle of trust is very small, it’ll be a longer process. But perhaps with Nakazawa, it can work. The Exalted One is pleased.
Next is Brandon Cutler, friend to the Young bucks. Cutler has been on a losing streak so he hopes to turn things around. The Dark Order need to convince Cutler that they can help him more than The Elite can. Then there’s Hangman Page. The Elite had high hops but he has grown distant. Uno and Grayson appraise him highest of all. Then they shall continue to cast doubt on the Elite to show they are not as powerful as the Dark Order. Will the Dark Order’s mission of conversion succeed?
Jon Moxley VS Sammy Guevara!
The stakes for this match were raised when it was announced that Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Rager at Sea 2: The Second Wave would have a #1 contender’s match! But that match needs to be determined tonight, and the first part comes from the Maniac taking on Jericho’s Spanish God! Will Sammy get revenge for the Inner Circle by denying Moxley a path to the title? Or is Moxley about to get a free trip to the Bahamas to add to that Ford GT is tricked Jericho out of?
While AEW is picture in picture, Sammy has his cue cards! “Let me address an act! An act so heinous, so diabolical, so despicable, it has cause me (Sammy G) to develop an ulcer, and a need to take antacid tablets! I’m too young for that! Jon Moxley! In order to get the car, you had to join us! You set us up! And a fraud! The Inner Circle made you an offer! Your refusal was your biggest mistake!” AEW goes to break before Sammy finishes, but it’s pretty clear Sammy wants to make Moxley pay for that mistake. Will Sammy bash Moxley at Bash at the Beach?
AEW returns as Sammy vlogs and fans taunt him with chants of “Moxley! Moxley!” They say his name, and here he is, in the Ford GT! The Death Rider is riding in style now, will he be cruising into the Cruise of Jericho?
The bell rings and Sammy dropkicks Mox! Sammy fires off in the corner and grinds his knee in. The ref reprimands but Sammy keeps on Moxley with CHOPS!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission; advances to the #1 Contender’s match
The Maniac isn’t just all barbed wire and brawling! He has a technical side, and he made Sammy submit! Moxley heads for the Bahamas, but will he be facing the daredevil of the Bastard?
But wait! Here comes Chris Jericho! At least, we think. The lights go down, and when they come back… The Inner Circle has surrounded Moxley! Moxley doesn’t care, and he fights them all! But that’s 4v1 and it doesn’t go his way. Jericho rains down fists then Santana chokes Moxley. Fans boo as Ortiz keeps the ref away and Hager drags Moxley up for a standing sleeper!

But this still isn’t enough, Sammy SLAPS away on Moxley’s face! PNP keep Moxley from fighting back and Jericho takes a spike from his jacket! Fans are freaking out as Jericho aims at Moxley! Jericho JABS Moxley with the spike to his eye!! Fans continue to cuss out Jericho and referees flood the ring. The refs tell the Inner Circle to stop, so the Inner Circle slowly takes their leave. Medics check on Moxley’s eye while Jericho soaks up the heat. Will Moxley be in any shape to fight on the Cruise of Jericho?
Backstage interview with The Inner Circle.
Jenn Decker asks why Jericho went that far. That jab to the eye could’ve ended Moxley’s career! Jenn wants to talk to Jericho. Oh does she? Well Jericho wants to talk to the whole world! What happened was not the Inner Circle’s fault or Jericho’s fault. This is all Moxley’s fault. They offered him the keys to the kingdom, and he smashed a bottle of the Bubbly on Jericho’s head! Moxley is a wild man, but that is why Jericho went “eye for an eye.” This reckless abandon did this to Moxley. PAC and Darby can thank Jericho for this, because at this point, they’re probably going to advance straight to a match with Jericho! Jericho will kick the crap- No, the SH*T out of Moxley! And the Inner Circle will beat down and embarrass the Jurassic Express! Jericho will pick scrawny Jungle Boy up by his ankles and use that “rat’s nest” hair to swab the poop deck! See you next week, Moxley, though you can’t see them. Also, hit Sammy up on his social media.
Six Man Tag: MJF, The Butcher & The Blade w/ The Bunny VS Dustin Rhodes, QT Marshall & Diamond Dallas Page!

MJF tags out to the Butcher so that he can get in the faces of the fans. DDP tags QT in so MJF tags back in. MJF doesn’t take QT seriously, obviously, but fans rally with QT.

As always, MJF ruins the fun. He used his mercenaries to do all the work, and gets the win for himself. But with Cody accepting his challenge, will MJF face all the karma that has built up against him?
Backstage interview with SoCal Uncensored.
Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky now know who their Cruise of Jericho opponents will be. Any thoughts? The world tag team champions are interrupted by a buzzed Hangman. They get upset with him barging in and spilling beer on them, but he gets upset with them getting upset. Hangman says he’ll take on all three at once but Omega hurries over to diffuse the situation. Omega apologizes, Hangman’s a bit frisky. With all due respect, they’re going to have a gentleman’s content on the cruise. Omega pulls Hangman away, can he also keep Hangman away from the bar?
Darby Allin VS PAC!
After what Jericho did to Moxley, this could end up just being the contender’s match. But assuming the Maniac is still willing to fight with one good eye, who wins this match to set sail?
The bell rings and fans are dueling as Pac and Darby circle. They tie up, Pac headlocks but Darby powers out. Pac runs Darby over and glares at him. Things speed up, Darby jumps but Pac slides.

Pac aims at Darby as he climbs up top. Darby stands, Pac missile dropkicks him down! Pac drags Darby to a cover, TWO!! Darby still lives and now Pac is growing frustrated. Pac argues with the ref but Darby claws his way up. Pac drags Darby to a corner and stands him up. Pac fireman’s carries Darby as he climbs up top! Fans anticipate something bad but Darby fights free! To SUPER CRUCIFIX DRIVER!! And Darby comes to life! Darby heads up top as Pac flounders to the apron. But that doesn’t change anything, Darby SUPER COFFIN DROPS! Direct hit wrecks Pac and now Darby gets into the ring!
A ring count begins while fans are losing their minds. Pac stirs as the count reaches 5, and he flounders to the ring at 7. Pac is in, Darby runs and flips over, throwback STUNNER! Then a DESTROYER! Cover, TWO!! Pac survives and Darby knows he’s close! Fans rally up as Darby gets up while Pac stirs again. Pac bails out again so Darby slides.

Winner: PAC, by pinfall; advances to the #1 Contender’s match
The Bastard crushes the dreams of the Undead Underdog, and Tony Schiavone is in the ring to interview him. The Second Wave is coming, but Moxley might still be in shape to compete. No no no. Pac tells him to congratulate the NEW #1 contender! But Moxley needs to be medically checked. Well we all saw what happened to Moxley! He is clearly incapacitated, which amounts to a forfeit. So again, you are looking at the NEW #1 contender! As for Jericho, Pac wants him to know that he’s coming. And when Pac wins the title- Sorry, news is coming in. Moxley is being loaded into the ambulance to go to a hospital, but Moxey refuses to go! Moxley barges out, big patch over his bleeding eye, and he storms his way to the ringside area!
Moxley snatches a mic on his way out and Pac is furious! Moxley is on stage as he says, “It ain’t going down like that, brother.” Moxley doesn’t care if he’s blind, half-dead or what, he will be on the cruise to kick Pac’s ass! “Because that title shot belongs to me!” Security, referees and medics do their best to keep Moxley back, but it is clear that come hell or high water, the Maniac and the Bastard are going to fight for the right to face Le Champion!
My Thoughts:
What a great episode for this special themed episode. I really hope Bash at the Beach becomes a tradition for AEW, though maybe during the summer next time. While the Cruise of Jericho will sail away to the Bahamas next week, just seems a shame to go with a summer theme episode during winter. But the episode itself was red hot with that opening Fatal 4 Way tag. That was borderline PPV level material right there, and it was quite the twist that it was Omega and Page getting the win. The interview interruption promo was pretty well done, playing up Hangman having a little too much but in a way that’s humorous, not dramatic. I don’t think Omega and Page win the tag titles, though, unless it is to feed into how The Dark Order is targeting them now. That would be quite the twist going towards Revolution, where the Dark Order won’t even need to win the titles, they’ll just brainwash the guys who have them.
Cody of course accepts MJF’s challenge, but his promo in doing so was pretty good. The cage match with Wardlow is set for AEW Dynamite in Atlanta, so there won’t be a lot of time until Revolution. MJF and his team get a win in a really great Six Man. I know DDP is a legend and a fan favorite, but I feel he was booked just a little too strong against the young stars here. But of course, that’s why MJF sneaks in a win rather than a decisive victory. I could’ve sworn it was going to be Awesome Kong in tonight’s Women’s Tag but guess not. And even without Kong, Brandi and Melanie Cruise make a decent duo but it was good to see the Faces win. This will extend things, I’m sure, but I’m still sensing we get Riho and Britt Baker in on this to lead to something big at Revolution.
I don’t recall them saying there was a mini-tournament to determine Jericho’s challenger at Revolution, but it really helped tie the episode together that they made the move. Moxley VS Sammy was a pretty good match, but it seems TNT is still learning (and failing) to give Sammy time for his cue card promos. The Inner Circle’s attack on Moxley was logical and the kayfabe jab of metal spike to the eye was a nice touch. Darby VS PAC was a really good match, but naturally we set up Face VS Heel with Pac winning. Moxley of course refusing to let the bad eye stop him is definitely in character, and Moxley VS Pac will be a great match. But in the end, I’m pretty sure Moxley wins to go to Revolution.
My Score: 9.2/10

Relentless indeed, Darby is heading home for another fight! Darby grabs a mic, has them cut his music, and he says, “On Dynamite, I issued an Open Challenge. WrestleDream, October 12th, anybody in the back, you wanna make your name off of Darby Allin? Step up, and let’s make this official tonight! Anybody in the back, now’s the time! I’m right here! Come out!” Darby wants an answer one week in advance, and who does he get? No one responds and Darby says that’s what he thought. A locker room full of complacent talent. Tell him in five years when they’re in the same position that they could’ve done something about it!
Darby is giving someone a chance at a PPV as big as WrestleDream, but no one’s stepping up. Darby is getting upset, so he heads out. Will someone work up the courage to face him within the next week? WAIT! BRODY KING CLOBBERS DARBY! The fans bark for the House of Black’s King of Death, who has some history with Darby here in AEW. Brody hauls Darby up, for an APRON POWERBOMB! Brody barks, the fans join in, and Brody lifts Darby by his neck! “I accept!! WrestleDream, JUST VIOLENCE!” Darby got his answer, is Brody going to make him regret asking?
The Outrunners meet with FTR.
And they must be using The Outrunners’ camera with this retro quality. Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd say if you wanna team with The Outrunners, you gotta have the stuff! Dax Harwood says, “I need to know. What’s… ‘The Stuff?'” You gotta have the meat! So they pump weights face to face! You gotta have the look! So they sunbathe, even though it’s October and cloudy. And you gotta have the attitude! So they bleach Dax’s mustache and give FTR some wide shield sunglasses! FTR is diggin’ it! Cash asks Truth & Turbo, “Do we have The Stuff?” Oh, they got The Stuff! they shake hands, #FTRunners is go!
Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Outrunners!
Well, while FTR now have “The Stuff,” Zack Gibson & James Drake are looking to stuff everyone else in the AEW Tag Division in the bin, aka the trash. Will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem teach Truth & Turbo how to #GritYourTeeth?
The teams sort out, Truth starts against Drake and they tie up. The fans rally, Drake headlocks, but Truth powers up and out. Truth hurdles, drops, and hurdles again. Then he arm-drags! The fans fire up and Truth spins around. Drake snarls, but Gibson tells him to stay calm. Truth and Drake back off, and they tag in Turbo and Gibson. The fans cheer, and the two tie up.

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

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

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

Tag to Buddy, the mugging continues, and Buddy UPPERCUTS Quen down. Buddy KNEES Quen in the back, KNEES him again, then stares Zay down. Buddy smirks, drags Quen up, and suplexes.

Zay leaps over, Darius blocks a kick to CHOP!
Zay ENZIGIRIS and reels Darius in, but no Twist of Fate! Darius suplexes, Zay slips free, and Zay shoves to hurdle, but into an atomic drop! Darius runs to BULLDOG- NO, Zay stops the hotshot! Triangle jump STUNNER! The fans fire up as Zay runs, but Darius SLINGSHOT COMPLETE SHOTS! Darius drags Zay up, sends him at Quen, but that gets some SILLY STRING! Malakai tags in off Darius! Malakai grins, Buddy tags in, and The House surrounds Zay. Zay swings hands, but he gets mugged! ATOMIC KNEE SMASH! Darius runs up, into a double hip toss, and DOUBLE BOMB!

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

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

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

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

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

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