The Elite is back on track!

The American Nightmare won thanks to his new coach, Arn Anderson, and The Elite, Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks, banded together to take down the Bastard and the Lucha Brothers! The only thing missing is that Hangman Adam Page didn’t want to hang out with his friends. Is the Elite (not) fine?

But there’s another question floating around. Is Moxley going to join up with the Inner Circle? Chris Jericho made him an amazing offer, but Moxley respects Y2J too much to not give his answer in person. And now, that time has come! What will his answer to Le Champion be?

 

AEW honors the wrestling legends of Memphis!

And that starts with having one of the great Memphis commentators, Dave Brown, join Tony Schiavone, Excalibur and good ol’ JR on commentary tonight!

 

Private Party VS Kenny Omega & Hangman Page!

Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy took offense to the Problem Solver being a party crasher in their bar. Hangman may have a drinking problem, but will teaming with the Cleaner again be the solution? Or will he have to drown his sorrows at the bottom of another bottle?

The teams sort out, and Hangman takes on Quen, just as he wanted to last week. The two circle as fans fire up for “Cowboy Sh*t!” Quen and Hangman tie up, Hangman wristlocks and wrenches but Quen rolls and reverses. Quen wrenches but Hangman rolls to break free and snapmare Quen down. Things speed up and Hangman runs Quen over! Things keep moving, Hangman stops short but Quen jumps. Hangman handsprings but Quen dodges the boot! Fans fire up and Hangman does some square dancing. He kicks Quen then CHOPS! Hangman brings Quen up to suplex but Quen slips out to dropkick! Quen tags Kassidy and Kassidy climbs. Double stomp and then a dropkick to Omega! Quen snap suplexes and Kassidy covers, TWO!

Kassidy drags Hangman up to bring back over, and shouts “TWELVE DOLLARS!” before he CHOPS. Kassidy is upset Hangman didn’t pay for that drink as he tags Quen. Private Party double whips Hangman, then atomic drops to a squealing enziguri! Leg sweep, and “SAY CHEESE!” Double stomps out of the camel clutch! Fans are divided as Quen covers, TWO! Quen drags Hangman around and stomps at the ropes. Tag to Kassidy and Private Party double whips. Hangman breaks through the clothesline to run Kassidy over, and snap suplex Quen onto Kassidy! Fans fire up, Hangman tags to Omega! Fans explode as Omega come sin, but he asks for silence. Hangman CHOPS Kassidy, and Omega CHOPS Kassidy, and Kassidy squeals each time!

CHOP, squeal, CHOP, squeal. Hangman fakes Kassidy out and Omega CHOPS Kassidy on the back! Hangman and Omega high five, and then Omega scoops Kassidy for a backbreaker! Cover, TWO! Kassidy survives but Omega drags him up to bump off buckles. Tag to Hangman and Hangman grinds forearms into Kassidy. Kassidy fights out with elbows but Hangman kicks low. Hangman whips and kitchen sink knees Kassidy down! Then he sucker punches Quen! Hangman goes back to Kassidy to tag in Omega. They bring Kassidy up for more CHOPS, then double whip. Kassidy slides out to the apron, Hangman runs over but is dumped out, and Kassidy enziguris Omega! Hangman anchors Kassidy but gets kicked away, Omega CHOPS Kassidy again!

Omega goes to bump Kassidy but Kassidy bumps him on the buckles. Then a slingshot Complete Shot! Fans rally up as both men are down but stirring. Omega and Kassidy hot tag Quen and Hangman! Quen springboards to crossbody Hangman down! Hangman bails out, Quen DIVES onto Omega! Then FLIES out onto Hangman! Quen runs again to FLY onto Omega! And then FOSBURY FLOPS on Hangman! Fans cheer for that amazing cardio, and Quen puts Hangman in the ring. Quen climbs up as fans cheer for “A E DUB!” 450 SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Quen brings Hangman over, tag to Kassidy, and Private Party whips Hangman. Hangman reverses, crisscrosses Private Party, but they stay up to mule kick Hangman back. Quen gets an assist for the huricanrana, into Kassidy’s SPANISH FLY! Cover but Omega breaks it!

Fans rally as Private Party regroups in the corner. Kassidy runs at Hangman but is put on the apron. Hangman swings but Kassidy counter punches. Kassidy springboards but into a BOOT! Kassidy flounders as Quen springboards in, but Hangman catches him! FALL AWAY SLAM! Hot tag to Omega! The ref protests but Omega whips Hangman into corner clothesline Private Party! Omega hits a back elbow then feeds Quen to Hangman’s rolling Elbow! Pop-Up GERMAN! Then a pop-up BOMB! V-TRIGGER! Cover, TWO!! Omega is shocked but he won’t let up just yet. Omega drags Kassidy around and takes aim. BANG and Omega runs, but Quen intercepts, only to get a SNAP DRAGON! Omega reloads, but Kassidy dropkicks his legs out! Kassidy takes aim and shimmy shakes, but Omega throws him out. SILLY STRING DDT!! Cover, TWO!!

Memphis is thunderous, “This is Awesome!” and just the first match! Omega stirs but Kassidy tags Quen. Quen climbs up as Omega is in the drop zone, SHOOTING STAR FLOPS! Omega tags in Hangman, then boots Kassidy off the apron. Omega drags Quen up, slingshot but Quen gets clear! We almost have another Buckshot misfire but Hangman stops himself in time!

Hangman drags Quen up, tags Omega, and Omega hops up as Hangman Electric Chair lifts Quen. Kassidy runs in to save Quen, and they double dropkick Hangman into Omega! GIN ‘N’ JUICE!! Cover, but Hangman breaks it just in time!

Memphis is thunderous again as Kassidy runs at Hangman. Hangman dodges and clotheslines him out but Quen gives him more forearm “SHOTS! SHOTS!” Omega grabs Quen, blocks the boot and flips Quen, but Quen uses that to PELE Hangman! Omega realizes what he’s done but Quen is on him with forearm “SHOTS! SHOTS!” Quen spins into a V-TRIGGER! And then Omega and Hangman line it up, V-TRIGGER BUCKSHOT SANDWICH! Fans are losing their minds, but now Omega Electric Chairs Quen, ONE-WINGED ANGEL!! Cover, Omega & Page win!!

Winners: Omega & Page, Omega pinning

Winning fixes all things, and that seems true for the Cleaner and the Cowboy! Will these two continue to teaming together and become a new force in the AEW Tag Division?

 

PAC is attacking Michael Nakazawa AGAIN!

The Bastard has him in the Brutalizer stretch! Referees and security try to pull PAC off but he wants everyone to see it on their screens! “Kenny!! YOU did this, Kenny!!” Kenny’s cowardice has cost Nakazawa his health! Pac wants his rematch! Or this will only continue to happen to those Kenny cares for! Hangman tells Omega to go after Pac and that is what he does! Will Omega make Pac pay for this?

 

AEW is picture in picture…

And Hangman has another drink already. He cheers the fans as he heads out, but is this just that drinking problem rearing it’s ugly head again? Hangman chugs that drink down, then has fans lining up to give him more! Hangman appreciates that from the fans, and even high-fives them. Especially the guy with the big sign. Hangman chugs that one, then gets another drink before heading to the back.

 

AEW Women’s World Championship: Riho VS Kris Statlander!

Brandi Rhodes joins commentary to watch, as she and her Nightmare Collective have been heavily invested in recruiting the Galaxy’s Greatest Alien. Though, Brandi isn’t really for playing along with the gimmick. But will Kris become even greater all on her own? Or will the Wrestling Idol find another way to come away with the title?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we begin!

Riho dodges Kris a few times then kicks her low. Kris blocks the whip but Riho throws forearms over and over. Riho whips, Kris runs her over and covers, but Riho slips out! Riho runs to dropkick Kris down! Riho headlocks but Kris powers up to power out. Kris sweeps legs but misses her handspring leg drop. Riho baits Kris itno a corner to boot her, then huricanranas! Kris ends up on ropes and Riho builds speed, dial it up! The 619 is blocked! Kris fireman’s carries and spins, but Riho arm-drags out! Riho dodges and runs, into a tilt-o-whirl backbreaker! And then Kris makes it a torture rack across her knee! Cover, TWO! Riho survives and AEW goes picture in picture.

Kris drags Riho up to scoop, but Riho flails as Kris carries her around with one arm! Then no hands! Kris slams Riho down then covers, TWO! But Kris keeps on Riho with a chinlock. Kris grinds Riho down but Riho fights her way up. Kris leans on Riho but Riho fights up. Kris clubs Riho then whips her to a corner hard. Kris runs corner to corner, but Riho meets her halfway to victory roll STOMP! Kris crawls to a corner and Riho crawls away. Riho runs back in for a big knee strike! Then reels Kris in, only for Kris to club her back. Kris puts Riho in another corner to blindside forearm! And then Electric Chair SLAM! Kris runs to SCISSOR KICK! Cover, TWO!! Riho survives again but Kris goes up top.

AEW returns to single picture as Kris MOONSAULST but FLOPS! Riho Northern Lights! Bridge, TWO! Brandi is only mildly impressed. Riho climbs up top for herself but Kris SHORYUKENS! Kris climbs up and has Riho for the STALLING SUPERPLEX! Brandi is not amused by the pandering but fans are loving the show of strength. A standing count begins but here comes Awesome Kong and Melanie Cruise! Brandi acts like she has no idea what is going on. Kris drags Riho up but Riho forearms away. Kris shoves and boots to uppercut and run. Riho follows to knee then run, but Kris BOOTS her down! Kris drags Riho up and scoops to put her up top, but Riho slips out to be on the apron. Riho blocks and counter punches before climbing up. But Melanie YANKS Riho down! Then throws her into railing!

Fans boo and Brandi acts shocked and upset. But Kris DIVES onto Melanie Cruise! Fans fire up as Kris gets back in the ring. Brandi excuses herself to “clean things up.” Kris DIVES onto Kong! Kris has fans fired up but here comes Brandi! Mrs. Nightmare and Kris talk, Kris says Brandi is just wasting her time. But who is that slithering out from under the ring?! Kris goes to punch Brandi but she’s stopped by this mystery man! This man is known as Luthor, the Japanese Death Match legend! And he feeds Kris to Kong’s LARIAT! Fans boo as Kong drags Kris up and into the ring. Brandi applauds Luthor’s timing. The referee did not see any of this, Riho climbs up top to aim at Kris. But then she LEAPS onto Luthor! Riho will not win this way!

Fans fire up for Riho as she climbs up top again, and leaps! Kris gets clear of the stops but Riho dodges the discus to roll her up, TWO! Kris kicks and lifts Riho high overhead! But Riho slips out to crucifix DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives being folded up but fans are firing up. Riho runs in, but Kris ducks the Meteora to LARIAT! Then she drags Riho up, scoop and spin, FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!?! Riho survives the end of the galaxy, but Kris scoops her again. Melanie distracts the ref, Kong trips Kirs! Riho doesn’t realize as she covers, Riho wins!!

Winner: Riho, by pinfall; still AEW Women’s World Champion

No one knows how to feel about this, other than that they boo the Nightmare Collective! And then Kong LARIATS Kris! Riho isn’t sure what to do as Kong mauls Kris. Riho works up the courage to attack back! But Melanie clubs Riho and throws big forearms! Hikaru Shida runs in to help! Shida saves Kris and Riho, but Britt Baker thought different. Britt stays in her seat, and now even Big Swole and Sunny Kiss run out to reinforce Kris and Riho! Has a line been drawn in the sand?

 

AEW profiles Superbad, Kip Sabian.

Kip’s so bad, he took the Bad Girl away from the Bad Boy, Joey Janela. And Penelope Ford has been an asset immediately, hitting anyone around with headscissors and crossbodies. There’s some sex appeal back in this “loser infested” company. Why be bad when you can be Superbad?

 

Christopher Daniels VS Sammy Guevara!

The Fallen Angel wants to show that he’s still got it, especially after an embarrassingly bad Arabian Press. But he got back in the ring with SoCal Uncensored as part of AEW Dark’s Homecoming, so can he do it again on his own? Or will the Inner Circle’s Spanish God put an end to the comeback?

AEW returns and Sammy G makes his entrance, not vlogging for once. Th bell rings and Sammy circles with Daniels. They tie up and fans rally for “S C U!” as Sammy wristlocks and hammerlocks. Daniels reaches back to headlock but Sammy powers out. Daniels runs Sammy over and then things speed up. Sammy hurdles and back flips over Daniels, but runs into an arm-drag! Daniels cranks on the armlock but Sammy puts him in a corner. Sammy knees low and swaggers about. Fans boo as Sammy whips, but Daniels dodges and shoves to arm-drag Sammy again. Scoop and slam and Sammy goes to ropes. Daniels puts Sammy in a corner to CHOP and CHOP and whip. Sammy uses the ref as a shield then sucker punches Daniels down!

Sammy hops up and double STOMPS Daniels down! Cover, TWO! Sammy kicks Daniels while he’s down, then taunt him before double stomping him down. Cover, TWO but Sammy fireman’s carries Daniels. Sammy does squats and Samoan Drops, then covers, TWO! Sammy grows annoyed but he stands on Daniels at the ropes. The ref counts, Sammy shows off as he back flips and backward struts. Then he kicks Daniels against the ropes! Sammy wraps on a chinlock but Daniels endures. Fans rally up and Daniels gets to his feet. Daniels fights out but Sammy boots, only to be blocked. Daniels spins Sammy but Sammy heel kicks him down! Sammy goes up top and aims at Daniels, but has to bail out of his 450. Daniels gets Sammy for an EXPLODER! A rough landing and both men are down.

Fans rally up and Daniels brings Sammy up. Sammy throws a haymaker but Daniels gives it back. Sammy boots and CHOPS then whips, but Daniels reverses to back drop! And dropkick! And clothesline! Daniels drags Sammy up, BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO but Daniels calls for his favorite. Underhooks and lift, but Sammy back drops. Daniels sunset flips, Sammy slips through to knee! And standing shooting star! Cover, TWO! Sammy keeps his cool as he whips Daniels. Daniels reverses to backslide, TWO, Sammy jackknifes. TWO, and double clotheslines take both men out! Fans rally up again as both men slowly stand.

Sammy puts Daniels in a corner and rams his shoulders in. Sammy puts Daniels up top and climbs, but Daniels fights back. Fans troll with “Sammy’s Wedgie!” and Daniels shoves Sammy off the top! Sammy flips to land on his feet, then comes back but misses in the corner. Daniels adds to the wedgie with an URENAGE! “Hey amigo!” Pentagon is talking trash from the stage! He wants to see if Daniels can do you-know-what. Daniels hesitates and runs into Sammy’s BOOT. Sammy mule kicks from behind and covers, Sammy WINS!

Winner: Sammy Guevara, by pinfall

Pentagon laughs at Daniels as the Fallen Angel loses to the Spanish God! Will Daniels ever get over that botch?

Oh no… The Dark Order is here! Evil Uno and Stu Grayson are followed by their top tier Creepers, the Beaver Boys, as well as the purple mask wearing Creeper from before. And they’re here to recruit the Fallen Angel! One of the very best wrestlers in AEW, and perhaps the world. Daniels’ fingerprints are all over modern pro-wrestling. And this might seem out of the ordinary, but if not for meeting Daniels 15 years ago, Uno might not be who he is today. However, the AEW Faithful do not share the same high opinion. “You see, Chris, they do not believe in you anymore.” Fans disagree, they do love him! Oh boo all they want, the fans are the ones saying Daniels has lost a step. But Uno wants Daniels to know this: “I can help you.” He can make Daniels the man he once was. By offering him a Creeper mask!

Fans chant for “S C U!” but SCU is the past! Be one with the Dark Order! Daniels takes the mask, but fans tell him not to put it on! Daniels throws it in Uno’s face! And he fights the Creepers! But that’s one man too many! Here come SCU! And the Young Bucks! They all want payback for the last time the Dark Order went after them! SCU and the Bucks clear the ring! Stu Grayson gets back up and fights them all?! He really is crazy. The Creepers save their captain, but Scorpio Sky FLIES out onto them! Alex Reynolds staggers up from the corner, into DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! And Daniels hits the URENAGE! Pentagon wanted to see something, now we’ll all see the BEST! MOONSAULT! EVER! Direct hit! The Bucks toss Reynolds and AEW goes picture in picture.

The Dark Order regroups on the ramp, but Evil Uno seems only mildly upset. We have a stand-off as the Dark Order takes their leave, but when will this fight for the soul of AEW begin again?

 

The Rhodes Brothers w/ Arn Anderson VS The Lucha Brothers!

For the first-time-ever, Cody & Dustin go against Pentagon & Fenix! But with all the issues they have with MJF and the Inner Circle, will the American Nightmare and the Natural be able to focus? Or will #CeroMiedo take over and rise up the rankings?

The teams sort out and Cody starts against Pentagon. Fans are fired up already as the bell rings. Cody watches Pentagon swagger about. Pentagon takes off the glove with much fanfare, and tosses it to Fenix. Touchdown! “Listen! CERO! MIEDO!” Pentagon shoves it in Cody’s face, Cody kicks and Rhodes Uppercuts! Cody whips but Pentagon comes back to tuck Cody in! Cody slips out of the Package to dragon sleeper! Pentagon resists Cross Rhodes so Cody shoves him at his corner. Fenix tags in, springboards over Cody and kicks. Cody ducks, tags in Dustin, and Dustin kicks to Rhodes Uppercut! Dustin runs but his bulldog is denied, so Dustin back suplexes instead. Fenix lands on his feet to somersault but the cutter is denied. Dustin blocks the mule kick to tag Cody. Pentagon tags in, and the pair of brothers stare down!

The ref keeps the peace, the teams back off, but Fenix cheap shot SUPERKICKS Cody! Pentagon sucker punches Dustin to stomp Cody down! Pentagon swaggers about then dares Cody to get up. Pentagon KICKS Cody’s leg as fans chant “CERO! MIEDO!” Pentagon clubs and fireman’s carries but Cody slips out to SUPERKICK him! Tag to Dustin, and Dustin rallies with clotheslines. Pentagon puts Dustin on the apron and enziguris hard! Fenix DIVES to take Dustin down! Fenix puts Dustin in fast, Pentagon is up top and DOUBLE STOMPS him down! Fans are fired up as AEW goes picture in picture.

Pentagon drags Dustin up and CHOPS Dustin against the ropes! Dustin doubles over but Pentagon wrenches and tags to Fenix. Fenix KICKS Dustin’s leg then KICKS so hard, Dustin falls over! Dustin clutches his leg while Fenix talks trash to Cody. Fenix KICKS the leg again! And again! And then whips Dustin corner to corner. Dustin can’t even run the whole way! Fenix mocks Dustin’s pain before raining down right hands on him. Fenix tags in Pentagon and they have Dustin in their corner. Fenix holds the leg out for Pentagon to KICK! Dustin falls down and Pentagon stands between him and Cody.

Pentagon drags Dustin up to KICK the leg again! Dustin reaches but Pentagon keeps between him and Cody again. Pentagon KICKS the leg again and Dustin hobbles and falls into enemy territory. Pentagon stretches the bad leg out to stomp the thigh! Tag to Fenix and Fenix has Dustin outside to KICK against the barriers. Fenix puts Dustin in then clamps on with armlocks. Fenix clubs Dustin down but fans rally up. Fenix facelocks and tags Pentagon. The Lucha Brothers mug Dustin then “CERO! MIEDO!” Dustin fights out! Dustin reaches but Pentagon KICKS the leg out! Pentagon wags his finger at Cody before going back to Dustin.

AEW returns to single picture as Pentagon drags Dustin up and hangs the leg out on the ropes. Pentagon KICKS it again, and then plays dumb as to why the ref is reprimanding him. Dustin throws body shots to back Pentagon off, but again Pentagon kicks the leg out! Pentagon tags Fenix and Fenix whips Pentagon in. Dustin puts Penaton on the apron and BOOTS Fenix back! And again! Dustin uppercuts Pentagon, then uppercuts Fenix. Dustin keeps throwing hands, and then throws Fenix out! Dustin falls over but fans fire up! Wait, Fenix has a chair! Fenix lurks, but Arn takes the chair away! Fenix and Pentagon glare at the Enforcer, but he’s doing his job as the coach. Dustin is up and hobbles, Fenix runs at him for a SPINE BUSTER! Arn is proud of that one!

Fans are thunderous now as Dustin fires himself up! Dustin crawls for his corner, as does Fenix. Hot tags to Pentagon and CODY! Cody runs in but Pentagon is ready, Fenix sends Cody up top Pentagon! Only for Cody to SUPER STEINER Penta! Cody baits Fenix in, goes up and over and hits the spinning powerslam! Then Cody DIVES out onto Pentagon! Cody has Fenix with a BOOT! Fans rally as Cody puts Fenix in the corner for a rain of right hands! Cody gets all the way up to 10! Off comes the weight belt! And fans are thunderous as he tosses it to the back rows! Cody drags Fenix up, dragon sleeper but Fenix knees out. Cody ROCKS Fenix and throws him, but Fenix tiger feints to HEEL KICK! Fenix slingshot CUTTERS!

Fenix drags Cody up, tags Pentagon, and then the Lucha Bros coordinate. “CERO! MIEDO!” but Cody powers out! Tag to Dustin, Fenix missile dropkicks him! Pentagon sets Cody up for Fenix’s tightrope Penalty Kick! Pump handle half nelson DRIVER!! Dustin staggers up into a back kick! Front kick! But he slips out of the hooks. Spinning powerslam for Pentagon! Fenix flies into the Atomic Drop! And then the DESTROYER!? Cody dodges Pentagon, top rope CODY CUTTER! Dustin has Fenix, for the FINAL RECKONING! Cover, The Rhodes Brothers win!!

Winners: The Rhodes Brothers, Dustin pinning

The #Brotherhood wins another one! They celebrate with their coach but now Tony Schiavone interviews Cody in the ring. We all know the offer MJF made, so what is Cody’s response? Does Cody accept those challenges put in front of him? Arn speaks first by saying he doesn’t know how MJF thinks he has the stroke to put down these stipulations. Who died and made him God without us knowing about it? But Arn knows that Cody wants after MJF, so the Nightmare Family will talk it over. They’ll come back with an answer next week at Bash at the Beach!

 

Backstage interview with Lanny Poffo!

As part of AEW honoring the Memphis wrestling legends, Alex Marvez talks with Lanny to hear stories about his father Angelo, his brother Randy, and all the other legends. The pleasure is all Lanny’s. He got to spend the day with Handsome Jimmy Valiant, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, Austin Idol, and meeting all these AEW fans. Lanny is a fan, too! This place really is Dynamite! Thanks for the invite, hopefully he doesn’t overstay his welcome. To learn more about the Legends of Memphis Wrestling ceremony, tune in for AEW Dark next Tuesday, 1/14/2020, on YouTube!

 

MJF is here!

The Dynamite Diamond Ring-bearer, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and his muscle, Wardlow, are both back. Fans troll with their boos, jeers and signs, but MJF ignores them all. MJF intimidates Justin Roberts into kissing the ring, and takes a fan’s sign to break it and throw it away. MJF insults the Memphis legends at ringside, but they don’t back down.

AEW returns from a quick break once MJF is in the ring with a mic. “Cody Rhodes is a COWARD!” Cody is afraid to face MJF, bu because he’s the Salt of the Earth, MJF gives until the count of 10! Cody has that long to come out and face MJF like a man! MJF counts down from 10, and gets all the way to 2 before he says, “Oh right, Cody. You’re just a little B*TCH!” But instead of Cody, “It’s me, it’s me, it’s D. D. P!” Diamond Dallas Page is back! He gets in the ring with MJF and Wardlow, “BANG!” and gets a mic. DDP introduces himself as the King of Badabing and the three-time world champion hall of famer and founder of DDP Yoga. Fans chant for “Yoga! Yoga!” MJF gets bored and checks his phone.

If you’d told DDP 19 years ago that he’d be back live on TNT with the hottest new promotion on the planet, AEW, he would’ve said, “You’re smoking crack.” Yet look who’s back. Live and in public, if you weel. That was for Dusty. But to address that situation with MJF, “Motormouth Jackoff Friedman,” and his muscular manbun friend, “Wardblow,” DDP’s Twitter and Instagram have been blowin’ up! And it was just with one question: “DDP, are you coming back for One. More. Match?” Fans want to see it! But MJF has had enough! MJF tells “Dally” that in his prime, he couldn’t lace MJF’s boots! And now with his arthritis, he can’t even hold MJF’s jockstrap! Oh really?! Whoa, “Dilly Dally,” relax! MJF isn’t here to fight DDP, but maybe these guys will.

The Butcher, the Blade and the Bunny are back! The other henchmen of MJF head to the ring! MJF tells Dallas that he might be a bit senile, but WCW is dead. And that is the average age of those WCW fans. But doing the math, DDP has two options. A) he kisses the ring and gets out of this company, or B) the more fun option, honestly; MJF’s muscle puts DDP in hospis and MJF goes to one of his Diamond Dallas Daughters so that he can take her home and
“do one thing and one thing only: BANG!” DDP grabs MJF by the throat! And shoves him into Wardlow! DIAMOND CUTTER for the Butcher! But The Blade scoops DDP, only for him to slip out, spin and DIAMOND CUTTER! The Bunny, Allie, gets in the ring, but MJF runs in at DDP! DDP wants another cutter but MJF shoves DDP into Wardlow, and DDP bounces off!

DDP gets up quick but MJF LOW BLOWS! MJF tells Cody that “What’s about to happen to your mentor, that’s on you!” Fans tell MJF off but Wardlow drags DDP up. Here comes QT Marshall! And Dustin! The Nightmare (extended) Family defends DDP. MJF and his forces take their leave, boasting all the way. MJF says everyone will #KissTheRing, but Cody is still considering the challenge put forth. Will Cody be even more compelled than before to say yes?

 

AEW is picture in picture…

And DDP is walking fine on his own now. He has Dustin and QT with him as he goes up into the crowd to high five. DDP gives one last “BANG!” before heading out.

 

Six Man Tag: Jurassic Express VS Best Friends & Orange Cassidy!

Jungle Boy made huge waves when he took Le Champion to the limit of the 10 Minute Time Limit match. Things are looking up for him, Marko Stunt and Luchasaurus, but will they turn things around in trios competition? Or will Trent, Chuckie T and #FreshlySqueezed get on a winning track of their own?

The trios sort out and JB starts with Chuckie. They tie up, Chuckie headlocks and wristlocks but JB handsprings and breaks free. Chuckie and JB tie up again, Chuckie puts JB in a corner. Chuckie honors the break but JB avoids the sucker punch. Chuckie goes up and over but comes back to arm-drag JB! Chuckie goes corner to corner, JB slips out, CHOPS and hops up to bounce, bounce and arm-drag Chuckie away! JB dropkicks Chuckie down then kips up and fans fire up! Chuckie tags to Trent, JB goes to his corner, but Marko wants in! Fans cheer and JB tags in the hometown kid! Marko paces as fans fire up. Trent isn’t so sure about Marko, so he just lets Marko get all the way fired up, before pushing him down.

Marko takes a moment to compose himself. He fires up again, and then leaps at Trent! Trent puts Marko on the top rope and pats him on the head. Marko boots Trent then leaps to huricanrana! Trent CLOBBERS Marko! Trent drags Marko up but Marko cradle counters, ONE! Marko flosses on Trent then CHOPS him! Trent just scowls so Marko tags to JB. JB waistlocks, spins and atomic drops Trent, Marko adds an enziguri! JB pump handle ripcords, splash and leg drop combo! Cover, Chuckie pulls JB off by his hair! Mark goes after Chuckie, who isn’t being much of a Kentucky Gentleman. Luchasaurus gets in and keeps Marko from going off on Best Friends. The ref keeps the peace and AEW goes to break.

AEW returns and JB fights out of a facelock, only for Chuckie to hit a Falcon Arrow! Cover, but Marko breaks it up! Chuckie gets JB up and whips him to ropes, JB returns with a LARIAT! Both men crawl, hot tag to Trent and Luchasaurus! Trent runs into a CHOP, Chuckie runs into a LARIAT! Luchasaurus rallies with kick after kick on Best Friends! Luchasaurus back kicks Chuckie, ax kicks Chuckie, then flapjacks Trent! Trent flounders into the BUZZSAW! Luchasaurus runs into Chuckie’s boot bu then BOOTS Chuckie back! Luchasaurus stalks Trent to TAIL WHIP KICK! Trent flounders and tags in ORANGE CASSIDY! Fans explode as The Sloth puts his sunglasses down, and are losing their minds as Sloth meets dinosaur!

The hands are in the pockets! Shin kick! Shin kick! Shin kick!! But then Luchasaurus clamps on his claws and suplexes, but Orange STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRES! JB tags in, climbs up onto Luchasaurus’s shoulders, and leaps! Orange gets under to dropkick JB! And kip up! Best Friends drag out Luchasaurus, Orange NO HANDS DIVES! The Best Friends regroup in the ring… to HUG! Orange even gives a thumbs up! But JB breaks that up and German Suplexes Trent! JB runs at Chuckie to rock him with a right! Pop-up, SPEAR! Orange is up top, Sloth Splash! Cover but Marko stomps it apart! Tag to Chuckie and Best Friends have Marko. But Marko fights back, tilt-o-whirl tornado DDT to Chuckie! Marko slips around to DESTROYER on Trent!!

Fans are fired up for Jurassic Express as Marko climbs up onto Luchasaurus. “This is Awesome!” as Luchasaurus TOSSES Marko onto Trent and Orange! JB runs at Chuckie T but gets the Sexy Chuckie Knee! Chuckie drags JB up, but the bomb is countered with a huricanrana pin! JURASSIC EXPRESS WINS!!

Winners: Jurassic Express, Jungle Boy pinning

Their first-ever victory! Memphis celebrates with them as Marko flosses hard as ever! Will all this hard work and determination finally pay off?

A big win against The Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi, isn’t even the biggest thing for Le Champion this week. Things could be even better if Jon Moxley accepts his offer! He, Sammy G and Jake Hager head to the ring where there is a desk and A Little Bit of the Bubbly waiting for them! Sammy has cards again since we’re picture in picture right now.

“Up next: the most important event in television history. Jon Moxley makes his decision! Will he join the Inner Circle? The Ford GT! Equal partnership! All will be his! Not since the first moon landing, Elvis in Hawaii, or… Who shot Mr. Burns, has there been this much anticipation! This much drama! (TNT) Stay tuned for The Longest Yard at 10 PM EST. Will he accept? Also… Salma Hayek, you want a booty call? Hit me (Sammy) up!” Sammy gives his accounts as AEW returns to single picture. Sammy sure goes into business for himself sometimes. But now, MOXLEY!

Moxley makes his entrance from the crowd, as usual. Jericho gives Moxley a proper introduction to the “most dynamic and intense performer in pro-wrestling today!” Jericho’s friend and protege, “Jon! Moxleeeeeeey~!” Moxley joins Jericho in the ring as the Inner Circle applauds. “this is absolutely incredible.” January 8th is always important in Memphis. And not because of Elvis’ birthday, Jericho says Elvis was a jackass and if he were here, Jericho would kick Elvis’ butt. The Beatles were better. But Jericho says that Jan. 8th is the night Moxley gives his answer. And Jericho says that the Ford GT is gassed up and ready to go. Santana & Ortiz cornered off Beale Street just for the Inner Circle, it’ll be a great night of partying! “And none of you,” the fans, are invited. So the moment of truth! Is Moxley joining the Inner Circle?

Moxley has a mic and says, “I’ve had a lot to think about this week. ANd thee’s a lot more that went into this decision than you people probably think.” Fans might think they know what makes Moxley tick, or Moxley’s motivations. The truth is, we don’t. Jericho doesn’t, either, though. Moxley was offered a car, money, and 49% ownership in the LLC. But Moxley doesn’t want any of that! He didn’t come to AEW because someone backed a truck of money up in front of his house. Moxley can’t be bought! Moxley is in AEW to dominate! To run roughshod over wrestling, and so he says… YES. WHAT?! That sure didn’t sound like where he was going. Moxley unzips the jacket to reveal an Inner Circle shirt!

Jericho is ecstatic as Moxley says he is here to dominate! And there is no more powerful, dangerous and influential force here than Inner Circle, and he stands with them! Jericho of course rubs this in the fans’ faces, “You idiots didn’t believe meeeeee~!” Moxley says that if you want to be great, you learn from the greats. The pea-brains won’t admit it, but the truth is that Moxley believes in his heart that Jericho is the greatest of all time! Moxley stands with Jericho, surrounds himself with greatness, and they will dominate AEW for YEARS TO COME! The only thing left is to pop open the Bubbly! And that’s exactly what they do! Jericho proclaims that 2020 is the Year of the Inner Circle! Spray the Bubbly! Cheer for this! Play some music!

The celebration begins as the boys shower themselves in Bubbly! “This is the beginning of the Inner Circle taking over AEW!” All the fans can shut up and watch. Fans say Jericho sucks? Moxley wants that guy to say that to his face! Moxley stands up for Le Champion, but then he remembers something. Jericho does still owe Moxley one thing. Oh right, the car! Here, here. The Ford GT, worth $750 THOUSAND, more than every fan in this audience combined, is now Moxley’s. Registration, license plate, the whole thing! Mox likes the sound of that. Fans chant, “You Sold Out!” Oh is that so? Moxley finally paid off his 2015 Dodge Ram and was going to “run that thing ’til the wheels fell off,” until now! Jericho says Moxley sold out. He sold out the arenas! Inner Circle makes money~! They won at Wrestle Kingdom, they’re united in AEW, and pop more Bubbly!

Fans still boo, but there’s nothing they can do. Moxley asks the music to stop fore a moment, and remembers one last thing. “Chris, my friend. I was just kidding.” What? Moxley would never join that stupid group and Jericho has nothing he wants, except the AEW World Championship. Moxley SMASHES a bottle of the Bubbly on Jericho’s head!! And then hits, PARADIGM SHIFT!! One for Sammy! Hager gets in but Moxley gets out! Moxley pulled off the biggest swerve on Jericho ever, but still has the keys to the GT! Will Moxley run roughshod all over Le Champion instead?

 


 

My Thoughts:

What a great episode! The opening match of Omega & Page VS Private Party was great, and while it was great to give us more miscommunication, it was also good that this wasn’t the moment Hangman turns on Omega. Of course, that assumes it will be a traditional turn. If Hangman keeps drinking as much as kayfabe makes it out to be, I’d love if it was more the rest of the Elite being very concerned for Hangman and trying to have an intervention for him, even if it’s only through Being the Elite and social media. Pac again going after Nakazawa, I’m surprised Bash at the Beach next week isn’t where we’re getting the tiebreaker. Maybe at AEW Revolution, as AEW will want that PPV to be as big as all the others.

I was a bit surprised the AEW Women’s Championship was second on the card, but what we got out of it was great, and obviously AEW wanted time to let this all play out. It was an interesting twist that Brandi Rhodes all but gave up on recruiting Kris Statlander, and then cost her the match. It was good character work for Britt Baker to not help Riho’s side of the fight after her venting about Riho not being as full-time as the others. Next week’s tag will be a lot of fun, as we’ll get to see Melanie Cruise in action. I also expect that if things turn into a fight again, Riho might run out to help, only for Britt to go after her. And not even because she’s joining the Nightmare Collective but because she wants after Riho for herself.

Daniels VS Guevara was good, but of course Pentagon keeps things active between him and Daniels, thereby costing Daniels. And AEW actually does some good story blending for The Dark Order to try and recruit Daniels while he’s feeling so down. The Bucks working with SCU is a good move, and now I’m thinking we get a huge 10-Man at some point, Bucks & SCU VS Uno, Grayson, Beaver Boys and mystery man in purple. The mystery man in purple needs to be revealed in that match to give us a shock, like it being Brandon Cutler, friend of the Bucks. This story of Dark Order gathering those who keep losing is very clever, so that it gives even jobbers like Reynolds & Silver a spot in a big story.

Lucha Brothers VS Rhodes Brothers was a great tag match, and it was pretty big for the Rhodes Brothers to win. Of course, it’s to keep Cody strong as things with MJF escalate. And of course, they did escalate, as DDP stands up to MJF and his team. That Six Man Tag for next week will be great, but I’m pretty sure Team MJF wins and goes to really hurt DDP to spur Cody’s answer. This is solid story telling as well as planning, and you can bet the cage match with Wardlow and that ten-belt-lashes segment are going to be big. The Six Man of Best Friends VS Jurassic Express was great, especially for Jurassic Express winning and starting to turn things around. I don’t know if AEW would get into Trios Titles so soon, but I’m hoping Jurassic Express at least finds their way back to the World Tag titles after things sort out with SCU and Dark Order.

And last but far from least, that main event segment with Moxley and the Inner Circle! We got another great cue card promo from Sammy, great verbal promos from Jericho and Moxley, and what a great double fake! Moxley makes us think he’s saying no only to say yes, and then that celebration went on for the right amount of time to make us think it was real. I was waiting for Moxley to turn things back, so it wasn’t completely unpredictable, but it was still done perfectly to trick Jericho. For the time they were milking it, I was starting to think how they could take the story of Heel Moxley with Jericho, but that story would stretch past Revolution to perhaps their Chicago PPV in the summer. Plus, fans love Moxley too much to make him Heel just by “selling out,” so this was the right move done in a genius way.

My Score: 9.1/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Kenny Omega VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!

The AEW International Champion knows he has a Triple Threat waiting for him at Dynasty, so he needs to get himself ready. Will tonight be a tune-up for the Best Bout Machine? Or will he not like the taste of the Vanilla Babyface?

The bell rings and the fans fire up for “KENNY! KENNY!” Omega and Blake circle, feel things out, and tie up. Omega waistlocks, Blake pries at the grip, and Blake wrenches out to wristlock. Omega wrenches back, wristlocks again, but Blake rolls, cartwheels, and slips through to wrench. Blake spins Omega to snapmare, but Omega turns chinlock into armlock. Omega wrenches, then hits a headlock takeover. Blake headscissors, Omega kips free, and Omega hits another takeover. Omega fights off the headscissors, but Blake fights up to his feet. Blake powers up and out, but Omega runs him over! Blake kips up, then pie faces Omega! And flips him off!

St. Paul boos as Blake is anything but a babyface here. Omega shrugs that off and CHOPS Blake! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Blake sputters, Omega wrenches and reel shim in, for a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, Omega runs corner to corner, but Blake dodges! Omega hits buckles hard, then Blake fires shots to the lower back! The fans boo but Blake fires more body blows. Omega fires forearms and haymakers, but Blake knees low! Blake whips, hurdles, then dodges to DROPKICK! Blake kips up, and pulls out a finger gun! Blake licks it, BANG, but Omega ROCKS him first! Omega then brings Blake to a corner, but Blake blocks the buckle bump!

Blake CLAWS Omega’s eyes, then steps out to the apron with him, APRON SPEAR! Omega goes to the floor, Blake builds speed, INVERTED DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp, and Blake high-fives Big Shotty. Blake puts Omega in, then springboards, but Omega gets under! Blake handsprings through, but into a V-TRIGGER! Lee gets on the apron, but Omega DECKS him! The fans fire up, Omega vows to end this! SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Blake sputters, but Omega hits another SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Blake is dazed but Omega isn’t done! Omega reels Blake in, hooks a leg, AOI SHODOU! The fans fire up and Omega takes out his finger gun!

Omega says BANG, runs in, and V-TRIGGER! Blake sputters, Omega Electric Chair Lifts! Fold for the ONE WINGED ANGEL!! Cover, Omega wins!

Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall

The Vanilla Babyface melted from the heat Omega is bringing! Omega picks up his belt but also a mic to say, “What’s going on?” The fans cheer, and Omega says it is unfortunate that he doesn’t get to wrestle every single week like he’d like. But when he gets the chance to come out to St. Paul, and when he promises them that he’ll make it quick, AEW’s fearless leader, Tony Khan, had no choice but to sign the match. But it will be a far different story when it comes to Dynasty! Omega not only has Ricochet, who the fans boo, but he also has the newcomer, though not so new to Omega, in “Speedball” Mike Bailey! The fans cheer that name!

And speaking of, here comes Speedball! The fans fire up as Bailey walks out, mic in hand, and he goes right to the ring. The fans cheer as these two are face to face, and Bailey says, “Kenny Omega…” Omega says, “Speedball.” Bailey congratulates Omega, and Omega says, “Thanks?” Bailey says he wanted to come out here and say that Omega is an inspiration to him. Bailey respects Omega. No, more than that, he admires Omega. As a wrestler, but also as a person, and as a champoin. But Kenny… Come Dynasty, even though Bailey respects Omega, he will not hold anything back.

Bailey won’t pull his punches, and he won’t hesitate for even one second to kick Omega’s head clean off and take that International Championship! Fans are torn on that, but Omega says, “So, by the sounds of it-” Oh no, Ricochet interrupts from the tron. “Do I have you attention? Okay, good, good, good. As much as I would love to be there in person, to smack both of you in your faces for even thinking that you’re going to leave Dynasty with my title… Fortunately for everybody involved in this situation, today is my wedding.” Ricochet models his white suit, and says he is dressed for the best day of his life.

“That is, until April 6th, when I continue to show everybody why Ricochet is Outta This World, and I beat you, Cornball, and I beat you, former Best Bout Machine, and I become the NEW International Champion! Oh, it sounds good, it sounds so good. I can see it now. So go ahead, continue to argue amongst yourselves about the inevitable. That being that after April 6th, Ricochet leaves Dynasty with both the girl and the gold. AHA~!” The One & Only adjusts his collar, but Omega tells him not so fast! Oh, well, he’s gone. But first of all, congratulations are in order. But that’ll be the only thing Omega will congratulate Ricochet on.

Because at Dynasty, make no mistake about it, it’s much like Ricochet said, it isn’t about making friends! Omega has a cat, he doesn’t need any more friends. The fans cheer that! Omega continues to say that as good of a guy as Bailey may be, and as big of a piece of garbage as Ricochet is, they aren’t Omega’s comrades. There is only one thing Omega has time for, there is only one thing Omega has room for, and it’s got to do with the thing on his shoulder, and that is his legacy. So consider yourselves just another stepping stone to solidifying Omega’s legacy. Oh and by the way, welcome to AEW, Bailey.

Unfortunately, while Omega wishes he could talk more, he must bid each and every one of you adieu! So until Dynasty, goodbye, MWAH! And goodnight, BANG! The Cleaner puts both his challengers on notice, but will the numbers spell disaster for him at Dynasty?

 

The Learning Tree speaks.

Chris Jericho says, “Last Sunday on Collision, I had Gravity’s mask taken from me. Or should I say, taken from us. But that’s okay, because I think it’s time for all the masks to be removed. It’s time to discuss some ugly truths that need to be addressed. Like the fact that you two (Big Bill & Bryan Keith) have been under the branches of The Learning Tree for far too long without using the wisdom that I’ve bestowed upon you. I need to ask you why I have to keep telling you time and time again to prove yourselves, I’m sick of asking! You need to think if it’s worthy for you to still be with Chris Jericho.

“If you think that, then it’s time for you to make some drastic changes, and go prove yourselves to me! Once again, for the last time, PROVE IT!” Bill & Keith quietly walk off, and Jericho turns his attention back to the camera. Bandido got his brother’s mask back, congrats. But it isn’t Gravity’s mask that Jericho wants, it’s Bandido’s! Jericho wants Bandido to feel the disgrace and humiliation that his brother did when Jericho tore that mask off in front of their family! And why would Bandido put up the mask? Jericho knows Bandido wants to be ROH World Champion again, so how about this? Title VS Mask for Dynasty!

Bandido, is it worth risking the humiliation? Is it risking the disgrace? Is it worth making your mother cry again when you lose the mask? Is it worth it? Jericho thinks so. See you at Dynasty. The Nueve is ready to risk it all, but will he be the one to lose it all in just 11 days?

 

MJF is here!

St. Paul is torn as the Scumbag walks out, mic already in hand. MJF goes to the ring, shows off MVP’s business card, then has them cut his music. MJF says, “Much like Michael Jackson’s legacy is far more important than that talentless hack named Prince…” MJF grins as the fans boo… “My words are far more important than everybody watching on their cheap TV sets in their trailer parks at home, and it’s damn sure more important than each and every one of yours.” The fans boo more, but MJF says, “Let’s play a game, okeh, Minnesota? We’re gonna shut the hell up. You think we can pull that off?” The fans boo, so no.

MJF says that’s what he thought. MJF tells MVP that he’s been looking at the card for two weeks straight. And he would like for them to have a little chit-chat so MJF can give an answer. MJF invites MVP out, and the fans cheer as the head of The Hurt Syndicate makes his way out here! Montel Vontavious Porter likes the fans singing along, “We Hurt~ People!” and chanting “M V P! M V P!” MJF says the thing we can agree on is that MVP is a legend in the sport of professional wrestling. And is that a new cane? That’s gorgeous! The fans cheer that, and MJF tells MVP that after everything with Adam Cole, MJF promised he would never do “friends” in this again.

And MJF has known “Montel” a very long time, and if there is one thing MJF has learned about him, it’s that when MVP clocks in, he doesn’t do friends, either. MVP does business. MJF has been looking at the card for a long time, and he has made a decision. The decision is… MJF would like to be in the business of hurting people. MJF offers a handshake, MVP checks if he means it, and wait! The rest of the Hurt Syndicate is here! The fans fire up as Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin bring their AEW World Tag Team Championships to the ring. Lashley looks MJF right in the eyes while the fans again sing the song, “We Hurt~ People!”

And then Lashley offers a handshake! MJF asks if Lashley means that, and he says up top! But then Lashley explains that he wants the card. What? The card, Max. Hand it over. MJF says okay, here. MJF gives the card back to Lashley, and then Lashley looks to MVP and Shelton. Lashley hands MVP his belt to hold, and then he RIPS UP THE CARD! MJF says okay, does Lashley wanna go? They can do this now! MVP says no, no, they’re cool. MJF asks MVP what’s going on. He thought they were cool. MVP says yeah, they’re cool, they’re cool. He has Lashley stand down, and MJF says okay, they can talk later.

MJF steps out, the fans boo, and even MVP seems a bit unsure why Lashley pulled MJF’s card. MVP says business never sleeps, and that they know they can trust him. But wait! Bryan Keith & Big Bill walk out here? The Bad Apple tells everyone to hold on. “So I guess it is true. Hurt people do in fact hurt people. But don’t worry, we ain’t out here to join your little group therapy session. We got real business to attend to!” Bill takes the mic, but MVP tells him to get his “lil’ b*tch” back on the leash so the men can talk. Bill keeps Keith calm, and he says he sees the Hurt Syndicate standing in the ring with the tag titles, but he doesn’t see a challenger. MVP says, “Me neither!”

Bill wants to tell MVP something. MVP wants to run his mouth? MVP wants to come out here with his cane and his business cards, but Bill can’t tell if he’s American Psycho or Iceberg Slim. Is he a pimp or a businessman? MVP says he’s a bit o’ both, and he’ll make his boys turn The Learning Tree into their b*tches if Bill keeps running his mouth. Bill says all he sees is a chump, and the MVP of being Lashley’s b*tch. No, we established who the b*tch was, but if Bill wants to go on about this… Bill says they should talk over the tag team titles. Bill was once a tag team champion, and he was never pinned nor never submitted for those titles!

Bill’s partner got pinned by Sting, and then Sting ran off and retired before ever granting Bill a rematch. Shelton says they don’t care! Bill says how about this. He and Keith need to prove themselves to Jericho, so Bill will take his rematch, so that The Learning Tree will take those titles! MVP laughs, and says Bill’s a comedian. But since Bill and his “girlfriend” want a shot, they should actually win a match! Then they can talk about an opportunity for the titles. MVP goes to leave, Lashley stares down Bill, and then the Hurt Syndicate heads out. Who will The Redwood have to take down to prove he and the Bad Apple are ready for this fight?

 

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Toni Storm.

Renee Paquette is with La Mera Mera & the Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion, and brings up tonight’s main event. #ThunderStorm reunites for the first time in three YEARS, and they take on Penelope Ford and Toni’s future challenger, Megan Bayne. Yes, Toni remembers it well. They were so young, so unafraid. Nothing’s really changed. Rosa says no, everything has changed. Toni’s certainly changed! She has a butler now! And let’s not forget, the last time they worked together, Toni knocked Rosa out and tried to erase the face paint off Rosa’s face. Oh, we all make mistakes in the heat of passion.

Well, then make no mistake. Because Rosa wants what she never lost. Toni tells Rosa, “Enough of this gay banter. Megan Bayne, Penelope Ford, you two slop tarts are about to get double teamed like you’ve never dreamed!” Rosa plays along and says yes! Tonight, the games are over! Tonight, they fight! Tonight, you meet the team of… THUNDER TITS! W-What? No, it’s Thunder Storm. Not anymore! Strap yourselves in, girls, it’s gonna be a bumpy night. Well, whatever the team name, will Thunder & Storm strike down The Megasus & Superbad Girl?

 

Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Brody King!

The Protostar may have lost to Will Ospreay at Revolution, but he’s ready to redeem himself and rise back up the ranks. Will the Aussie Arrow shoot down this Hound of Hell? Or will Kyle come to understand why Brody is the King of Death?

Callis doesn’t join commentary, they don’t have the equipment ready, so he just throws Schiavone’s own notes at him. The fans tell Callis off, then they cheer on Brody. Kyle claims he needs a second with his tearaway pants, but then he BOOTS Brody instead! The ref rings the bell, Kyle fires off stomps, but he stops at 4. Kyle soaks up the heat, then OFF COME THE PANTS! Kyle flexes, but Brody stalks up behind him! The fans bark, Callis tells Kyle to turn around. Kyle soaks up more heat, but then he turns around into a CHOP! Brody drags Kyle up, CHOPS him again, and Kyle goes to a corner. Brody fires forearms again and again to sit Kyle down!

Brody digs his boot in, the ref counts, and Brody stops. Kyle flops out of the ring and St. Paul cheers Brody on. Brody paces while he waits on Kyle, and Callis gives Kyle a shoulder rub. Kyle rises, the fans tell Callis off, and Kyle hobbles around the way. Kyle slides in, but Brody drags Kyle up! Brody CHOPS Kyle, brings him around to scoop and SLAM! Then Brody runs to SENTON! Kyle sputters and the fans bark again. Brody drags Kyle back up, eggs him on, so Kyle CHOPS! And CHOPS! But Brody CHOPS and Kyle falls back! Kyle goes to the ropes, Brody stands him up to CHOP again! Brody runs, but Kyle follows! CALF KICK!

Brody sputters against the ropes and Callis cheers. Kyle stomps away at the ropes, but stops as the ref counts. The fans boo but Kyle drags Brody up. Kyle whips, but Brody blocks! Brody then swings, but Kyle dodges. Brody blocks the boot, and he LARIATS Kyle up and out! Kyle flops to the floor and the fans are thunderous! Brody has everyone barking as Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Callis is worried for Kyle as Brody storms out and drags him up. Brody whips Kyle hard into barriers, then high-fives the fans. Brody brings Kyle around to whip hard into railing! Kyle is upside-down, Brody high-fives more fans, and then Brody stands on Kyle! Brody flexes, the fans cheer, but the ref reprimands. Brody steps off, then he drags Kyle up. Callis keeps his distance mostly out of fear, and Brody whips Kyle into more railing! Brody holds Kyle up for photo ops, then he CHOPS! Kyle flops up and over into the front row! The ref has Brody give them space while he checks on Kyle. Kyle is okay to continue, but Brody just CHOPS him again!

Kyle ends up in the second row now, and Brody tells him night-night. Kyle manages to sit up, so Brody drags him back to the railing. Brody suplexes Kyle to the floor! Kyle sputters, but Brody puts him back in the ring. Brody climbs to the apron, but Kyle runs in and CALF KICKS him down! Brody stumbles backwards into the desk! Brody hobbles, Callis creeps up, but then Brody barks and scares Callis off. Kyle runs out to CLUB Brody on the back! Kyle puts Brody back in the ring and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans again tell Callis off, but Kyle taunts Brody. Brody leans against the ropes, Kyle brings him up, but Brody CHOPS!

Kyle sputters, but he KNEES low! Kyle fires knee after knee into Brody, then soaks up the heat. Kyle stands Brody up, but Brody CHOPS again! And again! And again! Kyle BOOTS in return! Kyle whips, but Brody blocks again! So Kyle ROCKS Brody with a forearm! Kyle whips, Brody reverses, but Kyle ducks ‘n’ dodges! Only to run into a BIG BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans fire up while both men are down, and a standing count starts already. Brody rises at 4 of 10, the fans bark, and Kyle sputters back up. Brody LARIATS Kyle back down! And LARIATS him again! And then CHOPS! Kyle rebounds, into a BACKDROP!

The fans fire up as Kyle flounders out of the ring. Brody slashes his throat, builds speed, and DIVES! Direct hit and down goes Kyle! The fans lose their minds, that was literally the biggest tope possible! Brody stands Kyle up, whips him back into barriers, and Kyle takes a seat in the corner. Brody makes sure to position Kyle just right, and CHOPS him again! Brody barks, the fans join in, and Brody gets space. Brody runs in from the ramp, but Kyle jumps at him! Brody caches Kyle with one hand! Brody scoops, but Kyle slips free to POST Brody! And then he RAMS Brody into the barriers! Kyle goes to the apron, takes aim, and he PENALTY KICKS!

Brody staggers and drops to a knee. Kyle goes into the ring and he DIVES! Direct hit and Brody hits barriers hard! The fans fire up while both men are down on the ground! Callis coaches Kyle, St. Paul rallies for Brody, but Brody is dazed while Kyle rolls into the ring. The ring count is already 5 of 10, then 7! Callis wants the count to be faster, but Brody is up at 8! Brody rolls in, but Kyle is up top! Kyle aims and MACHO ELBOWS! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and the fans fire up! Kyle begs that the count was wrong, but no, that was fair. Kyle drags Brody up, reels him in, but Brody fights the suplex! Brody then hits a CORNER EXPLODER!

Kyle sputters and flounders, and Brody stalks him to the apron. Brody drags Kyle up and reels him in, but Kyle fights the lift! Kyle is free to SUPERKICK! And SUPERKICK! But Brody still fireman’s carries! APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!! Both men fall to the floor, the fans lose their minds, and Dynamite goes picture in picture again.

Kyle checks his arms to make sure they’re working, and Brody also stirs. Callis and the ref argue, but there was nothing illegal about what Brody did. The ring count starts, Callis seems to still complain about stuff, and both men are slowly rising at 5 of 10. Brody stands at 7, rolls in, and Kyle stands at 8! Kyle lunges in at 9! The ref checks with Kyle to make sure he’s still in this, and Kyle nods as he slowly sits up. Kyle shakes out the stars going around his head, and Brody hobbles over to him. Brody stands Kyle up, ROCKS him, and Kyle staggers back to the ropes. Brody eggs Kyle on, and Kyle rises back up.

Kyle winds up to ROCK Brody! Brody ROCKS Kyle, and Kyle drops to a knee! Kyle rises to fire another forearm, but there’s far less behind it. Brody ROCKS Kyle again, Dynamite again returns to single picture, and Brody fires more shots! Kyle fires back, the shots pick up speed, and Kyle fires a flurry! But Brody ROCKS him with just one! Kyle swings, Brody SWATS it, but then Kyle BOOTS and SUPERKICKS! Brody ROLLING ELBOWS! Kyle falls, Brody shakes out the stars, and he drags Kyle up to LARIAT! Brody shouts, “He’s Dead!” Brody reels Kyle in, hoists him up, but Kyle slips free to SUPERKICK a leg out!

Kyle BLINDSIDE SUPERKICKS, then he dragon sleepers! Inverted suplex into the gut wrench! TOMBSTONE!! Cover, TWO?!? Brody survives and shocks Kyle! Callis is furious, the ref defends the count, and St. Paul is all fired up! Kyle seethes now, and he aims from the corner. Kyle runs in, but Brody LARIATS again! The fans fire up while Kyle stumbles around on spaghetti legs! Kyle falls over, goes to a corner, but Brody runs up to SPLASH! Kyle sits down, the fans bark with Brody, but Callis gest on the apron! The ref storms up to Callis while Brody runs in at Kyle, but Mark Davis gets Kyle out of harm’s way!

Brody hits buckles, and Kyle smiles! Aussie Open watches each other’s back, and Kyle hurries to get Brody up! The fans boo but Kyle puts Brody on the top rope! Kyle UPPERCUTS Brody, then climbs up after him. But Brody fights the suplex with body shots! Brody SLAPS Kyle, fireman’s carries him, and now Davis distracts the ref! Kyle CLAWS Brody’s eyes, then slips down to GAMANGIRI! The fans boo as Kyle gets Brody back up, TOP ROPE BRAINBUSTER!!! Cover, Kyle wins!!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall

Dunkzilla gave The Protostar the assist, that’s a win for the Callis Family! But then Kyle goes back for more as he stomps and hammers away on Brody! Davis helps out while Callis directs them, but here comes The Powerhouse! Will Hobbs brings the straps down as he enters from the crowd side! The fans fire up as Hobbs rushes the ring! He fires forearms on Davis, and on Kyle! Hobbs DECKS Davis, he DECKS Kyle, and then Brody LARIATS Kyle up and outta the ring! The fans fire up, and Hobbs wants his fight with Davis NOW! Will the Book of Hobbs punctuate this chapter with a win? Or will the Callis Family quickly go 2-0 on the night?

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Mark Davis w/ Don Callis!

Dynamite returns as referees, security, and even Christopher Daniels are keeping Hobbs and Davis apart. It seems that AEW officials still need to work out the change in the schedule, they were hoping to do this match a little later. Meanwhile, Callis is finally on commentary to complain that Hobbs was going to assault him, a non-wrestler. Hobbs and Davis storm into the ring, despite the wishes of the refs and Fallen Angel. But fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Daniels tries to talk Davis and Hobbs down, but Davis and Hobbs just throw security out of the way! Daniels says fine, let’s do it now!

The bell rings, and the fans fire up as DOUBLE LARIATS collide! And again! And again! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Davis kicks low, suplexes high and hard, but Hobbs is right up! Hobbs kicks and suplexes Davis high and hard! Davis goes to ropes, the fans rally as Hobbs seethes, and Hobbs ROCKS Davis! And ROCKS him again! Davis KNEES low, then runs, but Hobbs CLOBBERS Davis at the ropes! Davis goes to a corner, Hobbs storms up, but Davis uses the straps to YANK Hobbs into buckles! The ref reprimands, Davis CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS! Davis scrubs his forearm in Hobbs’ face, then sits him down.

The fans boo but Davis runs side to side, and he SLIDING FOREARMS! Hobbs sputters, Davis drags him up, and Davis reels Hobbs in. But Hobbs BACKDROPS free! The fans fire up and Hobbs snarls again. Hobbs runs corner to corner, but Davis ELBOWS him! Davis runs up, but into the SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and the straps come down! Hobbs runs up to LARIAT! Hobbs then keeps Davis in the corner for “MEAT!” LARIAT after “MEAT!” LARIAT! Hobbs whips corner to corner, but then reels Davis in, but Davis kinda muffles the spinebuster. Hobbs is annoyed and drags Davis up, but Davis ENZIGIRIS!

Davis runs, but Hobbs gets him for a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Hobbs wins!

Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by pinfall

Hobbs just handled town bidness, but Callis says of course Hobbs won, he got the jump on everyone coming in from the crowd! Callis’ excuses aside, Hobbs dunked Dunkzilla, and the Callis Family is 1-1 with one more to go! Will Hobbs finally move on from his past? Or will Callis not rest until the Powerhouse is demolished?

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

Lexy Nair is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & “Mother Shayna,” but Christian Cage is conspicuous by his absence. Lexy specifically wants to ask Nick this: We’ve seen a big shift in Nick’s attitude both back and forth. He confronted Christian Cage on his excuses about Revolution, but then costs Adam Copeland the title last Wednesday. What is going on with The Patriarchy? Nick says things are starting to make sense to him as to why Christian did what he did at Revolution. But he will wait to speak his thoughts for when he and Christian are face-to-face.

As for last Wednesday, that just goes to show what happens when they’re all on the same page. “And how to properly… I repeat, properly execute a plan.” Nick heads out, Mother Shayna smiles and follows, and Kip… Well, he’s quiet but he still follows the Waynes out. Is The Patriarchy’s Prodigy proving he can be the man of the house?

 

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

Renee is with The Cowboy, and notes that last week, he officially entered his name for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. The winner of that tournament will challenge for the AEW World Championship at All In: Texas. Now, AEW is in St. Paul tonight, site of- Oh, wait, Swerve Strickland storms in! He knows he only just recovered from the busted eardrum, but did he just hear right that Hangman wants in on Swerve’s world title? Hangman says, “B*tch, did I stutter?” Swerve tells Hangman to not dare even try it! Swerve will end him and he knows what Swerve is capable of! Prince Nana has Swerve stand down, Swerve has his own business to handle.

Swerve and Nana leave, and Hangman snarls. Will Hangman not only win the Owen Hart Cup this year, but finally take back the AEW World Championship? And will it be Swerve who meets him in Texas?

 

Exclusive sit-down interview with Rated FTR.

It was earlier today that Tony Schiavone sat down with Adam Copeland, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood, and notes that the friendship between these three has been a lot deeper than what we’ve seen on camera. They’re basically next door neighbors, Cope has been responsible for some of FTR’s biggest breaks in their careers. Dax already frowns and shakes his head. Dax apologizes but he wants to interrupt here. He feels that he must address the elephant in the room. Last week, he allowed his emotions to get the better of him. He owes both Adam and Cash an apology for what happened.

Dax just felt that FTR took a break from their goals, their focus, the AEW World Tag Team Championships, for four months, all to help Cope realize his goal of being AEW World Champion. After two tries, it did not happen, which just frustrated Dax. Cope has Dax stop there. The way Dax positioned that, it sounds like Cope is the one who pulled them away from the tag titles. Cope came back to help FTR against the Death Riders after they put bags over FTR’s heads and beat them down. That’s how this all started. It was not Cope’s intention to pull FTR away from anything.

Dax knows, he’s just saying, that’s why he has to apologize. Dax let his emotions get to him, and so he wanted to explain the preface. He just felt that FTR took their eyes off the prize, they were directionless for four months, and it had nothing to do- Cash speaks up now. Cash knows they’ve all let their emotions get the better of them. Cash cannot watch Dax and Cope fight like this while he’s caught in the middle of it. Everyone knows Dax and Cash are best friends, they’ve teamed together for the better part of 11 years. But maybe people don’t know as much about the friendship of Cope and Cash, everything Cope has done for Cash.

Without either of these men, Cash has nothing. When Cash was struggling, nowhere to live, sleeping in his car, Cope gave him a place to live and to be without worry so he could pursue all of this. Cope gave Cash chance after chance, Dax was there for those opportunities, so without either one, Cash doesn’t have this, he isn’t here right now. So he just wants himself and his two best friends to all be on the same page. Dax says t hat’s why he had to apologize. Dax took it too far last week, but he does think that now that they’ve helped Cope realize his goals and done their part, it is time for FTR to get back on theirs.

Dax tells The Hurt Syndicate that the AEW World Tag Team Championships- Cash stops Dax again, and says Cash feels there is still something here. Rated FTR has a lot of life left, and Cash would love if they went after the Trios Championships one more time, to see if they can stop The Death Riders. Cope agrees there. If there’s juice in the tank, then let’s do it. Cope tells The Death Riders, April 6th, Death Riders VS Rated FTR for the Trios Championships. Dax does like the sound of that. #TopGuysOut! Cope adds #RatedFTROut. Cash likes that.

So while Cope could not dethrone Jon Moxley, can he and FTR still free the AEW World Trios Championships? Or will there be no end to the reign of terror?

 

Swerve Strickland heads to the ring!

St. Paul fires up for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve grabs the mic and says, “Everybody knows exactly why I’m here. I’m here to call out Jon Moxley! Not the Death Riders, the AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley. You better get your ass down here right now and look me eye to eye, man to man, if you’ve got the balls to do so!” The fans fire up, the Death Riders’ theme hits, and The Maniac makes his way through the crowd. Swerve keeps his eyes on Moxley as he draws closer. Nana steps out as Moxley steps in, and Swerve tells Moxley, “I’ve been allowing things to go on like this for far too long.”

People have been asking since October as to why Swerve hasn’t been going after his AEW World Championship. Swerve says he likes to give people just enough rope to hang themselves, and that’s Moxley. Swerve tells him, “Look at you. What happened to you? Jon Moxley used to be revered here in AEW! You and the AEW World Championship used to be synonymous with each other. Now look at you. You hide behind Claudio, you hide behind Wheeler Yuta, you hide behind Pac. Hell, you even hide behind Marina Shafir.” The fans start up another chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”

Swerve says Moxley still has the nerve to say no one else wants to be world champion. But Moxley isn’t even worthy of it himself! And to be honest, Swerve thinks the reason Moxley hides the title in the briefcase is because he can’t even look at it. He can’t even face himself with that on his shoulder any more. Swerve says every time Moxley has a title defense, he narrowly escapes. And last week, he showed the world that. Oh, by the way, how’s Moxley’s back feeling? Moxley smirks, and Swerve says everything about Moxley that he used to be, is standing right here looking at him. The fans cheer Swerve on while Moxley nods.

But CLAUDIO IS BEHIND NANA! The fans freak out, and Moxley smirks. Swerve looks over and sees Claudio! Nana still doesn’t notice, but he starts to sense something’s wrong. Moxley says it’s fine, we’re all chill. And that all sounded great, if you believe it. But this isn’t about Moxley, this is about Swerve. April 6th is really Swerve VS Swerve. It isn’t about Moxley, stop worrying about Moxley. Moxley wants Swerve to ask himself, “Who are you, really? What are you really?” Moxley knows. He listens and watches, hears everything and sees everything, so he knows everything. He knows exactly who and what Swerve is, and he knows what Swerve could be.

And damn, has Moxley had high hopes for Swerve. But he has been disappointed before. On April 6th, Moxley gives Swerve a chance to step in and become everything that he can be. He just has to ask himself one question: “How far am I willing to go?” Not tonight, not just April 6th, but every night. When it is cold and dark and you’re in pain and you’re tired. When the world is baring down on your shoulders and you have no friends left. When everyone else is gone and you have the weight of the entire world on your shoulders. Will you endure? Will you put one foot in front of another? Or will you look for a way out? Will you take others with you?

There are a lot of questions Swerve has to ask himself. Swerve is not what he thinks he is, because he has not suffered enough yet! But he will. “My sport has been taken over by billionaires, Hollywood talent agencies and kids who see the world through an Instagram filter and don’t know their head from their ass! It’s guys like you that give me hope for the future. It’s guys like you that make me think everything I’ve put my mind and my body and my soul through was for a reason.” Fans do seem to like that. Moxley says he won’t give it to Swerve, though. He doesn’t care what kind of “punk ass organization they’re running around here.”

Moxley does not give handouts, so how far is Swerve willing to go? Moxley will go the whole way right now! But that shouldn’t be a problem for Swerve, Swerve is the Most Dangerous Man in AEW, right? Moxley and Swerve circle, but that lets Marina Shafir sneak in! BUT WILLOW APPEARS! Marina has a crowbar, Willow has a pipe, so it is a standoff on the apron! Swerve asks Moxley what’s wrong. Is he finally facing off with someone smarter than him? So let’s get this straight: Moxley wants to talk “unscripted violence” BS? Swerve IS violence! Moxley’s bled pints, Swerve’s bled buckets. Moxley’s been in Texas Death Matches, Swerve’s WON them.

Swerve IS the Most Dangerous Man in AEW! “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” “And in Philadelphia in 11 days, I take back that AEW World Championship, and I continue to lead the Dynasty Era! And while I’m doing that, you can have fun continuing to play Jon Moxley on TV.” Mic drop! The fans fire up again as Swerve and Moxley stare down. It is quite the standoff here, so Moxley has the Death Riders stand down. The clock is ticking, are Moxley’s days as champion numbered? Wait, Marina YANKS Willow down! Marina fires off on Willow, but Willow RAMS Marina into the barriers! Claudio gets Marina out of there, Nana tries to help, but Willow shoves Nana aside!

Willow goes after Marina, even as Claudio carries Marina away! The fans fire up but The Death Riders drag Marina back but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Marina is a Problem, but will the Babe with the Power be a problem solver?

 

The Opps commandeer a camera!

Been a minute since this has happened, but Katsuyori Shibata films while he follows Samoa Joe & Hook. Joe asks Hook a question: last week, Hook sunk in that Redrum for a little bit of time. Is there anything behind that? Nah, just having fun. Fun? Hook smirks and says c’mon. It was Max Caster, a super annoying guy, it’s fun to choke him out. Joe says aight. Anyway, look who it is! Caster is trying to convince AR Fox & Top Flight to all go solo like he did. Shibata slips around so we can see Joe & Hook walk up behind Caster. Caster talks trash on Anthony Bowens, how Bowens is doing nothing after The Acclaimed broke up.

Wow, really, Caster? What? The fans are literally chanting his name! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” They don’t believe that for a second. Caster then spots Shibata and asks what’s up. Joe snatches Caster into the COQUINA CLUTCH!! Joe puts Platinum Max right to sleep, and then dusts himself off. And then he tells Hook he gets it now. They shake hands, and Joe says what’s up, hometown boys! The Opps shake hands with Top Flight, and say have a good night. Hook says, “To the death.” Shibata’s text-to-speech says, “I see what you did there.” When Caster wakes up, will he realize he really needs to watch what he says?

 

Backstage interview with Jay White.

Renee is with the Switchblade and says he took a particular interest in Will Ospreay and Hangman Page entering the Men’s Owen Hart Cup. White has history with both men, so where does he stand on this? White says those are some big names. He thinks we should add his name to that, so what better time than now? Jay White officially declares for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Last year didn’t work out too well, White losing to Hangman for the first time ever, mostly thanks to Hangman’s “buddy,” Christian Cage. And then White ended up injured, out for four months.

But this year, White will win the cup, go on to All In: Texas, and once again have a shot at the AEW World Championship! And if Hangman or #BillyGoat are lucky enough to cross paths with The Switchblade, so be it. But before we get there, there are plenty of other players backstage that would love to differ with him. How about one of the ORIGINAL Collision Cowboys return to Collision this Saturday. If there’s someone who thinks they’re more deserving of a spot than White, show up and state your case to The Switchblade. White aims his finger gun, who will accept this Open Challenge?

 

Top Flight w/ AR Fox VS Alex Findley & Devo Knight!

Darius & Dante Martin get a hero’s welcome as the hometown boys for Minnesota! But Lio Rush & Action Andretti are ringside, hoping this homecoming is a horrible one. Will Top Flight win one for Minneapolis? Or will they not like the taste of the Royal Flavuh?

The teams sort out, Darius starts against Devo, and the fans fire up with the bell. Darius and Devo circle, Devo waistlocks but Darius switches to SLAM! Darius then hooks Devo, turns him over to a cover, ONE! Darius spins away from Devo’s sweep, then headlocks. Devo powers up and out, Darius CLOBBERS him, and then brings him up to wrench and CHOP! Devo sputters, but Darius whips him to the corner. We see Big Bill & Bryan Keith are watching this backstage, perhaps scouting a team they can beat to then go after the Hurt Business. Darius runs in at Devo but Devo pops Darius up. Dante tags in, Darius CHOPS Devo, and Dante A-LIST LARIATS!

Darius tags back in, snap suplexes Devo down, then kips up to tag Dante. Dante slingshot SENTONS! The fans fire up but here comes Alex! Dante catches Alex and spins him, Top Flight gives him the LARIAT STO COMBO! Dante TOSSES Alex, then drags Devo up. Devo JAWBREAKERS back, then runs up. Dante ducks the lariat to waistlock, but Devo elbows him away. Dante goes to the ropes, Devo runs up, btu Dante ELBOWS him! Tag to Darius, then Dante goes up and over!

Winners: Top Flight, by pinfall

A great win for the hometown heroes, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan! Top Flight will face Bill & Keith for Collision in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Will The Redwood & Bad Apple sour things for Top Flight to then have their shot at the Hurt Syndicate? As for The Cru, they bark at Top Flight, still wanting their own fight. Will Darius & Dante give Lio & Action more than they bargained for in the near future?

 

Will Ospreay speaks.

“Ever since I came into AEW, the game has dramatically changed. It is time for me to move AEW into a new generation. Tony Khan is looking for the best in the world, and there’s only one person that fits that criteria, and it’s me. When you hear, ‘This is where the best wrestles,’ nah, bruv. This is where Billy wrestles. This is about restoring the feeling, and bruv, I AM the feeling!” The Aerial Assassin will return to Dynamite next week in Peoria, Illinois, but how will he sharpen that edge before the Owen Hart Tournament begins?

 

Mark Briscoe VS Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis!

The Sussex County Chicken fought alongside Will Hobbs against The Don Callis Family last week, but it was the Alpha that ate. Will the NEVER Openweight Champion make sure the Callis Family ends tonight up 2-1? Or will Briscoe #ManUp and have some redemption?

The bell rings and the fans rally for Briscoe. Callis claims he wasn’t going to come out again, but he was listening to Schiavone’s commentary and felt he was struggling so he’s here to help. The fans just tell Callis off again while Briscoe and Konosuke circle. The two feel things out, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Konosuke powers up and out, then RAMS shoulders!

The Death Riders speak.

Wheeler Yuta says, “Rated FTR wants to challenge us to a World Trios Championship match at Dynasty. Dax & Cash, I already hate your guts. But Cope, you’re the most sinister of all. You tried to rip me away from my family. You tried to manipulate me! My family is much stronger than yours.” Claudio tells Rated FTR, “You guys are pathetic. The going gets tough, you bicker and start throwing hissy fits. Is this Kindergarten?” Pac says, “Gentlemen, it’s your arrogance, it’s your cockiness, that we really find hard to stomach. You see, after everything that you’ve done to us in previous weeks, it is you who has the audacity to challenge us?

“Nah. That’s not how things work around here. At AEW Dynasty, it is we that challenge you! We challenge you to survive the Death Riders.” The Decoder, the Swiss Cyborg & the Bastard have given their answer, will no one stop the Death Riders from building their Dynasty?

 

Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.

Alicia Atout caches up with MVP, Lashley & Shelton and wants to ask them about MJF. Is he in or is he out? Lashley asks for just a moment, please. Alicia steps aside, and Lashley says MVP told them to take a vacation, and then they see MVP hugging it out with MJF?! What’s that about? MVP wants them to understand. After that performance at Revolution, they earned that time off. MVP doesn’t get time off, he had to come to work, because business never stops, money never sleeps. Now, they’ve been talking about adding a fourth member for some time, and MVP made MJF an offer. What’s the problem?

So MVP likes MJF? Yeah. Okay, but this is MJF. The kid’s got a reputation. Shelton & Lashley don’t like it. MJF is grimy, slimy, and not to be trusted. Everyone says that about him. MVP says yeah, MJF has some reprehensible qualities. And that’s why MVP likes him! Those qualities could be good for their business. Now, they’re the Hurt Syndicate. If they really don’t want MJF in, MVP respects the dynamic, they can revisit this. But right now, let’s focus on the Big Bill situation. Are they all on the same page there? Call it. Let’s hurt people. The Syndicate heads out, but will they accept the Scumbag into the fold? Or will they find someone more suited to their business plans?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Then, Jamie Hayter makes her own in-ring return and takes on Queen Aminata! Will Hayter still hit hard? Or will Aminata redeem herself from losing to Julia Hart?

And then, Jay White’s open challenge has already been answered as Kevin Knight makes his Collision debut! The Jet is ready to fly high in AEW, but will he learn to Breathe with the Switchblade?

Megan KNEES low, then hits a BIG back suplex! Dynamite returns to single picture as Megan clamps onto Rosa with a chinlock. The fans rally, Rosa fights up, and Rosa fires more body shots. Rosa is free, then runs, only for Megan to LARIAT her down! Tag back to Ford and they put Rosas in the corner. Ford sucker punches Toni, the fans boo, but Megan whips Ford in so she can handspring ELBOW Rosa!

Ford holds Rosa in place, Megan runs up and SPLASHES! Ford goes side to side to BOOT! Rosa sputters, Ford licks her on the side of the face. Ford snapmares to a cover, TWO! Rosa survives, Toni rallies the fans again, but Ford facelocks. Rosa fights out and fires forearms! Ford fires back, the fans fire up, and the shots are fast ‘n’ furious! Both women run, and they DOUBLE LARIAT! Both women fall and the fans rally! Rosa and Ford crawl, hot tags to Megan and Toni! The fans really fire up as Toni dodges and LARIATS Megan!

Winners: Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford, by pinfall

What a shocker! The Megasus just pinned the AEW Women’s World Champion! Ford celebrates with Megan, will the AEW Women’s World Championship soon belong to them?


My Thoughts:

A great episode of Dynamite, really jampacked, but also maybe a little too packed? I believe the vast majority of the women’s tag match main event was in the overrun. I know this is all live TV and TNT/TBS lets them have the overrun, but clearly something went way too long if the main event is right before the two hour mark. That aside, still a great main event that also had a great promo from ThunderStorm/Thunder Tits. I knew it’d been a long time since Thunder & Storm were on the same side, but I didn’t realize it’d already been three YEARS. Either way, Megan winning here makes sense, Toni is logically the underdog champion. This is very much Toni’s Rocky VS Drago in Rocky 4, and I’m sure Toni will persevere and win just like Rocky Balboa.

Very good opening match from Omega VS Blake, but of course Omega was winning. I’m unsure why Lee Johnson is suddenly Blake Christian’s pal. Did something happen to the #LEEJ team-up with EJ Nduka? But good promos from Omega, Bailey and Ricochet to hype up their Triple Threat, and we’ve still got the go-homes to go, who knows who wins at Dynasty. Good promo from Jericho to call out Bandido while also talking down to Bill & Keith. I suppose I should’ve foreseen Jericho wanting Title VS Mask as the blowoff, that’s not a bad choice. But then all the more reason Bandido wins the title and sends Jericho off into a spiral where he gets mad at Bill & Keith more.

That said, Bill & Keith confronting The Hurt Syndicate is a bold move. MVP logically gives him the same deal he gave The Outrunners and The Murder Machines, and while Top Flight is good, I would think The Cru costs Dante & Darius their match this Saturday. Good win for Top Flight here in their home state, though it was of course against jobbers. Their segment with Fox, Caster and The Opps was really good stuff, too. I wonder if Caster calls out Joe as if he even stands a chance, all because of his arrogance as the self-proclaimed Best Wrestler Alive. Still waiting on Bowens to return and challenge Caster.

Back to the Hurt Syndicate, I’m intrigued with how they didn’t outright accept nor reject MJF. MVP wants to give MJF a chance, maybe something happens closer to Dynasty, and I’m not even really sure which works out better. Jay White had a good promo to declare for the Owen Hart Cup, and he’ll have a great match against Kevin Knight this Saturday. Swerve confronting Hangman before then confronting Moxley was good stuff. I’m sure I’ve said something like this before, but while Moxley always gets his promos out, he needs to get it out in more concise ways. The fans in St. Paul certainly weren’t in the mood for Moxley to monologue again. But they perfectly had that chess game going, with Claudio checking Nana while Willow checked Marina. That Mixed Tag will be a lot of fun.

Very good promo from Nick Wayne, but here’s hoping TK writes Patriarchy’s story right. Nick Wayne is making it sound like he’s siding with Christian, but since Nick wants to wait to share his thoughts, he must surely be waiting to turn on Christian. It needs to happen, we can’t have Nick going Stockholm Syndrome like Yuta did with Death Riders. Very good promo from Death Riders to call out Rated FTR, and Rated FTR had a very good promo of their own. Dax was rather passive aggressive about not becoming tag champs again while helping Cope fight the Death Riders, so I feel like the trios title causes FTR to turn on Cope.

The Don Callis Family sure did a lot tonight, and gave us three great matches. It makes sense the Callis Family went 2-1. Kyle beating Brody was fine, Kyle needed to rebound. But he didn’t give us an answer on what’s next for him like he promised on Collision. And where was Okada to harp on Brody King losing to him? Maybe that happens on Collision this week. Hobbs being the one loss the DCF took also makes sense, as Hobbs might still be feuding with them to get through all their ranks and build momentum towards a title. Konosuke VS Briscoe was awesome, and a great win for Konosuke given he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion. I wonder if Hobbs and Konosuke also get in on the Owen Hart Cup…

My Score: 8.9/10

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!

Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles. Not only that, but it is against the three men that won that $300,000 Rampage Holiday Bash battle royal back in 2022. Will the Death Riders continue their reign of terror? Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!

The trios sort out, and The Decoder starts against Darius Martin. The fans rally up as the bell rings. Yuta and Darius circle, tie up, and Yuta wrenches to a hammerlock. Darius reaches back to headlock, then he chinbars into a cravat. Yuta spins through to trip Darius and has a toehold. Darius endures while fans rally. Darius turns over, reels Yuta in and headlocks back. Yuta brings Darius to his knees, then waistlocks. Darius switches and SLAMS Yuta, then floats to turn Yuta over for a cover. ONE, and Darius avoids a leg sweep to headlock. Yuta powers up and out, Darius goes up and over, then Darius arm-drags Yuta!

Yuta gets up, Darius DROPKICKS him, and Omaha cheers. The fans cheer, Darius CHOPS, then he tags in Dante. Darius whips, Yuta reverses, but Darius rolls off Yuta’s back. Darius SOBATS, Dante sweeps, and Darius DOUBLE STOMPS! Dante covers, ONE, but Dante wrenches to wristlock. Yuta pulls hair to put Dante in the corner, and Claudio tags in. The Swiss Cyborg stomps Dante, the fans boo, but Claudio waistlocks. Dante switches and hops on for a SLEEPER! Claudio powers up and out, but Dante sunset flips! Claudio flails to stay up, and he drags Dante right up to his feet! Dante dodges, and he fires forearms!

Dante fires more shots but Claudio shoves him away. Dante dodges, ROCKS Claudio, but Claudio returns to CLOBBER Dante! The fans are torn but Pac applauds. Claudio fires body shots, then UPPERCUTS. Claudio pie faces Dante, whips corner to corner hard, then runs up, but into a BOOT! Claudio just comes back, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI! Dante goes up and up and RANA! Not the cleanest but Claudio still tumbles out. Claudio hurries back in, tag to Pac. Pac RAMS Dante, then slingshots up and over. Pac keeps moving, but Dante CLOBBERS him! Tag to Fox and he LARIATS Pac! And goes Matrix to then PELE!

The fans fire up for Fox and he has Pac. Fox whips, Pac reverses, but Fox stops himself. Yuta runs up but Fox TOSSES him! Pac runs up, Fox puts him on the apron and sweeps the legs. Pac is on the apron, Fox builds speed, just to slingshot STOMP Pac on the apron! Then he CANNONBALLS Yuta! But Claudio runs up to BOOT Fox down! The fans boo, Top Flight protests, but Claudio deadlifts Fox into the ring! Pac storms in and stomps Fox around. Pac drags Fox up, bumps him off buckles hard, then tags Claudio. They mug Fox, Claudio ROCKS Fox, and then drags Fox up. Fox tries to power forward but Claudio keeps him back!

Claudio powers Fox back, he tags Yuta in, and they mug Fox more. Yuta stands Fox up to reel him in, and he snap suplexes! Cover, ONE!! Fox stays in this but Yuta stays on him. Fox JAWBREAKERS free, goes Matrix again, hot tag to Darius! Darius CLOBBERS Yuta, BLASTS Pac, then BOOTS Yuta! Darius keeps moving, HOTSHOT BULLDOG DROPKICK COMBO! Then Darius GAMANGIRIS Yuta, steps in and COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Claudio breaks it! Dante CANNONBALLS Claudio! Pac TOSSES Dante out, the ref reprimands him, but that lets Yuta CLAW Darius’ eyes! The fans boo but Yuta hits a PAIN THRILLER! Cover, TWO!

Yuta is annoyed but he keeps Darius down with a wristlock, and mockingly claps hands, while Collision goes picture in picture.

Yuta drags Darius up, bumps him off buckles, then tags Pac. Pac stomps Darius down, kicks him around, then kicks Darius in the side! Pac stays between Darius and his team, taunts him, but Darius fires body shots. Darius UPPERCUTS, but Pac KICKS him down! Pac taunts the fans, then brings him up. Pac tags Yuta back in, Yuta CHOPS Darius, then Yuta snapmares Darius for a KNEE DROP! Cover, TWO! Yuta clamps onto Darius with a chinlock to keep him down. Darius fights up, fires body shots, and he ROCKS Yuta! Slam Dunk Sunday returns to single picture as Darius runs, but into a DROPKICK!

Yuta tags Pac, then holds Darius down for Pac to drop a leg, brother! Pac looms over Darius, then drags Darius up to DECK him! Pac stomps Darius, CHOKES him on the ropes, but steps off as the ref counts. Claudio gets a cheap shot in! Fox protests but nothing can be done as Pac stands Darius up. Tag to Claudio and the mugging continues. The fans rally for “A R FOX! A R FOX!” Darius fires body shots and a CHOP! Claudio brushes that off, but Darius CHOPS again! And again! Claudio still eggs Darius on, Darius CHOPS! Claudio UPPERCUTS into a hook! Darius tries but Claudio fights the backslide! Claudio spins around, shoves Darius, POP-UP DROPKICK!

Darius and Claudio are both down and the fans fire up! Darius crawls, as does Claudio, but then Claudio grabs a leg. Claudio drags Darius bac, but Darius BOOTS free! Hot tags to Yuta and Dante! Dante rallies on Yuta with forearm after forearm! Dante whips, Yuta reverse, Dante goes  out, up, around, and then GAMANGIRISR! Dante springboards to avoid Pac and CROSSBODY Yuta in one move! Dante FLIPS up and over Yuta, then sends Pac into him! Dante SHOTGUNS Pac in the back to send him out, and the fans fire up! Dante builds speed to go up, up, then tags Fox before he CANNONBALLS!

The fans fire up, but here comes Claudio! Dante dodges, Fox PENALTY KICKS! Then Fox goes up the corner to MOONSAULT! Down goes Claudio and the fans fire up again! Fox puts Yuta in, then climbs the corner, for a SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives but Fox hurries to go back up a corner! But Claudio anchors Fox, but Top Flight YANKS Claudio down! Fox adjusts, but Yuta trips him up now! The fans boo, the ref reprimands Yuta, but then Pac DOUBLE LOW BLOWS Top Flight!! Claudio DOUBLE LARIATS Top Flight, and the Death Riders regroup. The ref reprimands, but the Death Riders don’t listen as they surround Fox.

Omaha is thunderous for Fox as he fights back, 3v1! But Claudio! blocks a kick, and the mugging is on! The ref reprimands, Claudio stands Fox up, and he sends Yuta in, ELBOW! Claudio UPPERCUTS! Pac ELBOWS! Yuta ELBOWS! Repeat! The fans boo as the cycle of violence continues! Then Pac hits a TOMBSTONE!! ROCKET LAUNCHER! Cover, Death Riders win!

Winners: The Death Riders, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)

Chaos reigns as The Death Riders screwed over their old rivals. Fox & Top Flight regroup and the fans cheer, but THE CRU attacks! Action Andretti & Lio Rush grin as they CLOBBER Darius! They talk trash, and then Dante gets up, only for Action to LARIAT him down! But where’d Fox go? Wait, now Lio & Action undo their chain necklaces, so they can CHOKE Top Flight with them!! The fans boo, more refs rush out here, but The Cru has already choked out Darius & Dante! Will this be the end of this animosity? Or have Lio & Action only put themselves back on Top Flight’s radar?

 

BREAKING NEWS for April!

Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!

 

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.

Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”

Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”

Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?

 

Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.

Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?

 

Bandido VS Johnny TV!

The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?

Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.

Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.

Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!

Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.

Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!

Winner: Bandido, by pinfall

The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.

“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.

But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!

Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?

 

Megan Bayne speaks.

“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”

Toni Storm speaks.

“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?

 

Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!

Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?

The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!

Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!

Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall

Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?

 

Backstage interview with Don Callis.

Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”

But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!

So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?

And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!

 

Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!

This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?

The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-

NO, Mortos stops the ride to chicken wing Hologram! But Hologram victory rolls through, TWO! Mortos has it, TWO! Both men stand, Hologram rolls Mortos but Mortos powers through to a cover, ONE! They both stand, Mortos HEADBUTTS Hologram down! The fans fire up, then Mortos runs to sunset flip! Hologram rolls through, Komander tags in, and Komander springboards to SPLASH! Komander bounces off the cover, comes back and tilt-o-whirl RANAAS! Mortos flounders away, Dralistico tags in. Mortos BOOTS Komander, Dralistico springboards but Komander dodges. Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!

Dralistico runs back in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Harley says this is “Luchamazing!” Dralistico fires up, runs up, but Komander blocks! Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend. Harley says she forgot, but she’s gotta go, she’ll be back. Harley hops off commentary, who is she going to call?

Komander puts Dralistico on the apron but Dralistico mule kicks Hologram! Dralistico dodges Komander’s tiger feint kick, and Komander ends up on the apron. Mortos runs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up! Fans lose their minds, Harley scampers off, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Mortos drags Hologram up, SMACKS him back down, and Dralistico sends Komander into railing! Then Dralistico drags Komander up, RAILING BACKBREAKER!

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall

A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?


My Thoughts:

A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.

Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.

And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.

My Score: 8.8/10
