AEW hears from Jake The Snake Roberts.
“When this whole thing came about, man, TNT coming up with this championship and wanting to put somebody out there in front,” The Snake feels it was made for them. And why is that? Because TNT would love Lance Archer out in front. You want to take someone to a party, take him to the party. When Archer comes in, he commands attention. Archer was made for this. In the minds of the Murderhawk and The Snake, the TNT Championship is “a bone.” Do you want to try and keep this dog from that bone? “Lance is going to enjoy this. Because each time he wins, he knows he’s going to be getting a little bit closer to what we want.”
As for Colt Cabana, The Snake has been watching for years. The Snake knows what Cabana is capable of. Cabana has some stuff, but he’s not near good enough. Archer is 275 pounds “of raw steel” and attitude, with a chip on his shoulder. Archer was pushed out of this country and forced to go to Japan to make a living. That pissed him off. Archer is back, and has something no one else here has: he’s an animal. Listen or regret it, it’s Cabana’s choice. #EverybodyDies, but is Cabana going to be the first?
Chris Jericho is back on AEW commentary!
And Le Champion is ready to call all the great action alongside Tony “Skee-A-Voan” as the TNT Championship Tournament continues! But also, don’t miss the special debut of “The Bubbly Bunch” later tonight.
Colt Cabana speaks.
“I’ve known what I’ve done in my career, where I’ve been, my past, the experiences that I’ve had.” Cabana came into AEW expecting to have an undefeated streak, to be someone that fans talk about being actually good. And so far, he’s done that. But there is a lower expectation on Cabana from those within the locker room, and maybe a segment of fans, that he is now blowing out of the water. Cabana knows he’s great, that he’s charismatic and goofy, but fans seem to like that.
Now, Lance Archer is in fact dominant. He dominated in Japan, so AEW wanted him, too. Archer is back in America, but Cabana was just as impressive in Asia. Cabana dominated in China, in Australia, India, Austria and all over Europe. Cabana’s track record is just as good. Archer is being put on a pedestal, but that’s the beauty of being the underdog. Cabana focuses fully on Archer, because Archer is “a big, bad dude.” Cabana has beaten big, bad dudes. The TNT Championship is the goal, and Cabana is focused fully on it. Cabana is gambling on himself to win it all. Will he hit the jackpot? Or will he bust in the opening round?
AEW TNT Championship Tournament Quarterfinals: Lance Archer VS Colt Cabana!
Jake The Snake already said his piece on this match up. Will the Murderhawk Monster make good on those words? Or can BOOM BOOM win that huge gamble he spoke of?
Before going in the ring, Archer goes around to swat Austin Gunn’s sign out of his hands. And then Archer DECKS whoever was at the end of the row! Everyone else is left speechless, but Cabana gets in Archer’s face. That didn’t go so well for Marko Stunt… And just like Marko, Archer pushes and DECKS Cabana! The bell rings and Archer finishes his entrance by taking off his jacket. Archer turns around and Cabana fires off forearms in return! But Cabana barely staggers Archer, and Archer ROCKS him right back! Archer eggs Cabana on, and Cabana dodges to throw leaping forearms! Cabana has Archer wobbling as he whips him corner to corner.

Archer kicks at the railing to shut them up, then he gets in the ring. But Cabana slides out! Cabana watches Archer, and slides back in when Archer comes back out. Cabana is toying with Archer and it only angers the Murderhawk. Archer rushes in, Cabana dodges and CHOPS! Cabana throws forearms then wrenches, but Archer just grimaces. Archer swings punches but Cabana ducks under to wrench again.
Cabana has the wristlock but Archer whips him to a corner. Cabana dodges and Archer runs into buckles. In comes the Big Apple, but it gets caught! To a full nelson SLAM! Cover, TWO!

Cabana grits his teeth as Archer throws heavy haymakers. Archer digs his knee in until the ref counts 4. Cabana crawls but Archer stomps him. Cabana throws hands but they don’t do a thing. Archer eggs Cabana on, then DECKS him! Archer drags Cabana to a drop zone then hits a spinning Vader Bomb! Cover, TWO! Archer argues the count but two is two. The audience still rallies for Cabana, but Archer goes out to go around the way. Archer DECKS Cabana on the apron and AEW goes to break.
AEW returns as Archer BOOTS Cabana down. Cabana drags himself up on Archer’s pants but Archer pushes him away. Archer slaps and toys with Cabana, and Cabana ROCKS Archer! Cabana kicks low, but Archer comes back with body shots. Archer CLOBBERS Cabana in the corner then lets him drop. Austin Gunn shouts, “Show some mercy!” but there’s no mercy in Archer’s dojo. Archer climbs up and leaps, but then FLOPS as Cabana gets clear! The audience rallies behind Cabana as he slowly gets up in the corner. Archer runs into boots! And then the elbow! Cabana runs and tilt-o-whirls to headscissor! Archer flounders, Cabana runs in, for the BIG APPLE! Archer is down, Cabana climbs up again. Cabana leaps, Archer rolls, but Cabana hops for the splash! Cover, TWO!
Cabana catches his breath as he has control. Cabana puts up his dukes and JABS! And JABS! Cabana jabs more but Archer starts laughing?! Archer choke grips Cabana! But Cabana breaks free, to flip, flop ‘n’ fly for the BIONIC ELBOW! Cabana runs but Archer goes perpendicular, for the DERAILER! Archer pounces but he’s not done with Cabana. He drags Cabana up, choke grips, and CHOKE SLAMS! But that’s still not enough for Archer. He watches Cabana rise in the corner. Archer runs corner to corner, but into an elbow!

One undefeated streak continues as the other falls! Archer continues on at 3-0 and heads for the next round! Will Archer become the undefeated inaugural TNT Champion?
AEW hears from Britt Baker.
Britt presents “The rules of being a role model.” Rule one: Always fight fair. This is a crucial component that isn’t always observed. Take last week, when her opponent, Hikaru Shida, resorted to “desperate, disgusting and dangerous” tactics. Britt felt the immediate burning in her head as blood poured from her broken nose. Yet she still valiantly fought through that. And she did it all without her “admiring, dedicated fans chanting and cheering” her on. It was all Britt’s own grit, passion and dedication to always be the face of the AEW Women’s Division. “So really, who’s the true winner here?” Will Baker be the big winner in her match tonight?
AEW World Championship predictions are made.
ESPN’s Ariel Helwani is up first. “Jon Moxley VS Jake Hager, what a fight. What a fight between two of the toughest men in pro-wrestling today.” Hager and Moxley are the epitome of what makes this business great. This is hard to predict, and Helwani is torn on this decision, but he has to give it to his fellow MMA guy, the All American from the University of Oklahoma, Daniel Jacob Hager Jr! The rising star in both sports has what it takes to take someone like Jon Moxley down. Hager is undefeated in the MMA cage, and Helwani is betting on him.
AEW announcer and ECW legend Taz says, “You know the deal. No Holds Barred. Empty Arena. We get it, we know it.” It’s time to knuckle up! Moxley can do that. Even if Moxley is training in MMA, he needs to keep this off the mat. Moxley needs to be careful of the legitimate mat man in Hager. Moxley can turn this into a brawl, and it’ll be a tough fight, but Taz is confident Moxley will come out the winner. Who are you predicting wins this first-time-ever match?
AEW presents: Technique by Taz.
The ECW legend lends his vast knowledge to analyzing Jake Hager’s arm triangle hold. Using Hager’s AEW Revolution match with Dustin Rhodes as an example, both men are very tall. A standing arm triangle with the Gable grip allowed Hager to squeeze Dustin very tightly. Then modifying the grip slightly finished Dustin off. The “figure four grip” was also on display as Hager took on Chico Adams almost a month ago. Hager was able to get Chico down in the more common seated arm triangle. This is the “katakatami” hold. He did the same style in his Bellator matches and gets the same win.
But the biggest of all was doing it to Jon Moxley. That was AEW Dark on 3/31, but that means it was the same night Hager choked out Chico. On the mat with the arm under the chin and the Gable grip was the deadliest combination. Will Moxley be able to avoid it? And if not, can he survive it?
Britt Baker VS Cassandra Golden!
The Dentist claims to be the face of the AEW Women’s Division, but that face has a broken nose. It’s of note that Golden lost to Hikaru Shida, too, back in February. Will Baker stay even with Shida before she gets even?
Britt Baker VS Cassandra Golden!
The Dentist claims to be the face of the AEW Women’s Division, but that face has a broken nose. It’s of note that Golden lost to Hikaru Shida, too, back in February. Will Baker stay even with Shida before she gets even?
Baker spots Shida among the audience and says she’s not over the broken nose. Baker goes to the ring, the bell rings, and she circles with Golden. They approach and Baker mule kicks Golden’s leg out. Baker smiles then SUPERKICKS Golden down! Anna Jayy is on the other side of the audience and she cheers Baker on. Baker watches Golden get to ropes and goes to the apron from that side. Baker poses with Golden for pictures, then chokes Golden on the ropes! The ref counts and Baker lets up at 4. Baker makes Golden bite the ropes like she did Yuka Sakazaki! And she STOMPS! Cover, Baker wins!
Winner: Britt Baker, by pinfall
What was that about fighting fair? Well, The Dentist doesn’t sweat technicalities. Will she break more teeth on the way to the top of the Women’s Division?
More AEW World Championship predictions are made!
Actor and comedian, as well as avid wrestling fan, Ron Funches speaks! “When it comes to the Empty Arena Match between Jon Moxley and Jake Hager, I’m predicting three things. It’s gonna be hard hitting, it’s gonna be violent, and your winner is gonna be… JEEOOOOOOOON… MOXLEY!”
Bellator MMA’s own Mike Goldberg wants us to know his good friend, the undefeated Hager is going No Holds Barred against Jon Moxley. They are not identical, because Mike says Hager puts a beating on Moxley to leave with the belt. But most of all, everyone stay safe, stay healthy, and stay ready because #HereWeGo!
A special anniversary is coming for AEW.
“We really put our pride on the line to try something new.” AEW Double or Nothing 2019 was filled with “the moments that created the memories that are simply unforgettable.” Saturday, May 23rd, Double or Nothing 2020 STILL HAPPENS! AEW keeps its promise to never let you down.
AEW presents: The Bubbly Bunch!
It’s the story, of The Inner Circle. Santana is on the phone, noting how these conversations seem to solve the world’s problems, but then they somehow forget them. He has some things he has to get off his chest. What is going on with the Jacksons? Matt is always holding Nick’s hand. How does Matt expect Nick to learn and get through life that way? And then Matt protects Nick so much that Matt ended up exactly like Nick: WRECKED. And then they’re going around like those people on 12 Fifth and Lennox. Ortiz knows who he means, right? Of course Ortiz knows who he means! That’s Carlos! But Ortiz challenges Santana on this. Nick is the Carlos, what with that “merch freak” stuff. And just look at how Nick’s been behaving after he got slammed with that garage door. “He’s trying to be like Sammy.”
Sammy has to agree there, as he pumps iron. Nick is jacking Sammy’s style. But so is Matt and the rest of them. And can you believe what Matt Hardy is saying about him? “Fake Latino?” Really? This from the guy who Sammy doesn’t even know what version of him we’re on. Maybe this is Version S, for Stupido. Sammy says that if he was in the ring with Hardy, he’d give him a bit of this. He shows the guys as he hits the heavy bag. Sammy counts in Spanish, but sticks on cinco for about seven times. That’s what Sammy would do to Hardy, and what Hager will do to Kenny!
Hager agrees, while he chills poolside with his kids. And Hager would punish Omega, then choke out the ENTIRE Elite in Blood & Guts. But more importantly, earmuffs kids. The kids cover their ears as Papa Hager vows to beat the SH*T out of Moxley to take the title. “Ain’t that right, Painmaker?” Jericho agrees. Because Hager is the only undefeated pro-wrestler AND MMA fighter in the world! Hager will box-ley the fat head of Moxley, and become the new AEW World Champion. Jericho has eggs over-easy, and asks how sexy Sammy is today. Sammy says he is “muy sexy.” And that’s no joke. But speaking of jokes, what do you call the idiot that’s been gone for weeks and likes horses? Hangman Page. Where has he been? Jericho wonders if “Cody Exotic” “took care of him” and fed Hangman to Pharaoh.
But the bottom line is this, Inner Circle. They will kick the crap out of The Elite at Blood & Guts, when they’re ready to have it, and when they do, they’ll have a little bit of the bubbly! Jericho’s dogs quietly watch as Jericho says bye to his guys. Jericho changes lines to talk to his assistant. HE STILL DOESN’T HAVE ANY TOILET PAPER!! Find him some!!
Sammy Guevara VS Suge D!
The Spanish God just showed what he’d do to DAMASCUS Hardy in the Bubbly Bunch, but will he be able to do the same to Sugar Dunkerton?
Suge naps on the ropes as Sammy makes his entrance. Sammy gives social distancing guideline approved greetings with the elbow bumps, but leaves the production crew hanging. The bell rings and the audience rallies up for Suge. Sammy asks Aubrey if Suge is serious with the pelvic dance. Suge and Sammy tie up, Sammy waistlocks and slams Suge down. Sammy floats all over then poses on Suge. Sammy then lounges on the ropes while Suge says, “Oh. You got jokes.” Suge and Sammy circle again and tie up. Sammy powers Suge to a corner but then headlocks out of the break. Suge tries to power out but Sammy holds tight. Suge gets the arm and wrenches to a wristlock. He powers up and breaks it down! The arm motion goes into Sammy, comes back, and then Suge CHOPS!
Suge runs to the corner, goes acrobatic, and arm-drags Sammy away! Sammy gets up and doesn’t get any of this. Suge dances around, but Sammy comes back with a KNEE! Sammy drags Suge to the apron and clubs away. Suge is stuck upside-down, so Sammy KICKS him down! Sammy drags Suge up to put back in the ring. Suge flounders up, Sammy reels him in, and Sammy suplexes. He manages to hold Suge up for ten then drops him down! Cover, TWO! Sammy has to applaud some respect, but then has Suge on the ropes. Sammy stands on Suge and chokes him, but lets up at 4. Suge flounders but Sammy kicks the rope to jam Suge’s throat! Sammy toys with Suge then hauls him up on the ropes. Suge resists so Sammy clubs away. Sammy fireman’s carries and does some squats. Jericho loves what he sees.
Sammy has the audience counting, and Samoan Drops after three squats. Cover, TWO! Sammy keeps his cool as he KNEES Suge back down. Suge drags himself up but Sammy chokes him on ropes again. Sammy CHOPS Suge, then whips. But Suge sits down to resist! Suge body shots and cradles Sammy, TWO! Sammy LARIATS Suge right down! Now Sammy gets frustrated as he circles Suge.

Sammy runs back in but Suge sits down, and Sammy punches buckles! Suge CHOPS and headbutts and knees back! Suge hits a European Uppercut, then fires up.

Winner: Sammy Guevara, by pinfall
The Spanish God wants to speak and he is given the mic. “Light work, baby. Light work for a Spanish God.” Sammy says he can keep going. He could go one round, two rounds, or hell, the first round. Sammy says he has spoilers for what happens when he and Darby Allin meet in the TNT Championship Tournament. Spoilers: “Sammy Guevara beats the sh*t out of Darby Allin.” Jericho likes what he hears from his sexy sidekick. Sammy figures we should be given an example of how badly he’ll beat up “that face-painted weirdo.” He gives Suge Danielson Stomps! But then Darby rushes out and runs Sammy off! Will the undead daredevil make sure Sammy’s spoiler is completely wrong?
We have another round of AEW World Championship predictions!
“Big” John McCarthy of Bellator MMA speaks now. Jake Hager and Jon Moxley is a big match. Moxley’s a tough dude but Hager has been arm-triangaling everyone in both MMA and pro-wrestling, and that will happen again. Hager as AEW World Champion is happening, guaranteed.
AEW announcer Excalibur says that if this were a Steel Cage match, Hager would have a distinct advantage and wins. The MMA background, the amateur wrestling background and amazing pedigree all mean he’d out-wrestle Moxley. But this is not a Steel Cage. This is an empty arena and No Holds Barred. It can and will spill out of the ring like a Street Fight. Excalibur says Moxley has the advantage in that situation, and will retain his title.
Chuck Taylor w/ Orange Cassidy VS Kip Sabian w/ Penelope Ford!
The Best Friends have been on a good roll, but so has the Superbad super couple. Will the Kentucky Gentleman wreck Kip’s momentum towards the TNT Championship Tournament?

Kip stomps Chuckie over and over but the ref backs him off. Chuckie gets up but Kip haymakers him to a corner. Kip wrenches and whips Chuckie corner to corner, then runs in. Chuckie knees back!

One more round of AEW World Championship predictions!
Actor, comedian and host of Sirius XM’s The Bonfire, Dan Soder, gives his pick. He’s loving AEW Dynamite, especially the creativity with no audience. He’s excited to see this Empty Arena No Holds Barred match. Soder says Moxley wins to defeat another member of The Inner Circle.
But the Inner Circle’s own Ortiz finds it funny. Moxley thinks he has the advantage in No Holds Barred just because he made a career out of extreme matches. Moxley is sadly mistaken! It just means no one will be there to hold Hager back and keeping him from breaking EVERY bone in Moxley’s body! Hager will make sure Moxley can’t even walk out of the arena! The title comes back to The Inner Circle, where it belongs! Sammy adds his own prediction. It’s what should’ve happened long ago. Moxley is gonna get his ass beat by the undefeated and unstoppable Jake Hager!
Shawn Spears VS Justin Law!
The Chair Man is out of the TNT Championship Tournament after losing to the American Nightmare. But he rebounded against Billy Gun on AEW Dark. Will Spears get back ahead against the new to AEW wrestler?

Winner: Shawn Spears, by pinfall
He didn’t even break a sweat or take off his shirt. Spears still wants to reach #PERFECT10N, but is he at least taking steps towards title opportunities?
Next week, AEW Dynamite wraps up the quarterfinals!
The opening round of the TNT Championship Tournament will be finished after next Wednesday! Darby Allin VS Sammy Guevara and Kip Sabian VS Dustin Rhodes happen on the same night! Who moves on to face Cody and who moves on to face Lance Archer?
But that’s not all, as Jimmy Havoc takes on Orange Cassidy because of what happened tonight. Will Havoc spike Freshly Squeezed again? And both Brodie Lee and Kenny Omega return to the ring as we head further into Spring!
The last AEW World Championship predictions come in!
Bellator MMA’s Josh Thomson says his boy, Jake Hager, will walk right through Jon Moxley! Side choke arm-triangle, 30 seconds, new AEW World Champion. And the Inner Circle’s Santana puts it this way: Hager is not only an absolute animal in an MMA cage, not only is he an absolute monster in a pro-wrestling ring, but he is UNDEFEATED in BOTH! Hager is hungrier, nastier and in the best shape of his life. He is going in with the mission of taking back the AEW World Championship for the Inner Circle. Will that happen? We finally see, after the break.

Moxley gets to a corner but Hager heads over. Moxley gets right up to clothesline, but Hager stays standing! Hager knees Moxley, bumps him off buckles, then whips him hard into buckles! Moxley is in the drop zone, but he gets clear of the Hager Bomb! Moxley KNEES Hager down! Both men are exhausted and down on the mat, but this match still continues. They both slowly rise, and they start brawling again!
Moxly forearms, Hager forearms back, repeat. Hager knees but Moxley fires off fast hands! Moxley elbows from all sides but Hager knees again! Hager gut wrenches to the POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO! Hager is close but AEW goes to break.
AEW returns again and Hager has Moxley in a corner. Hager talks trash right to Moxley’s face, then runs side to side for a BIG corner clothesline! He goes the other way and again corner clotheslines! Then again to the right! Hager reels Moxley in, Moxley dodges the lariat to give a LARIAT! But the bad arm is hurting from it now! Moxley fights through that pain to drag Hager up and in. Moxley wants the Gotch again but Hager trips Moxley up. Hager has the Ankle Lock but not for long as Moxley cradle counters! TWO, and Moxley waistlocks. Hager elbows free then elbows again. Hager hops up, leaps, but into a kick! DDT! But Moxley is slow to the cover, and Hager grabs him in the ARM TRIANGLE! Hager squeezes tight but Moxley endures.
Moxley moves around, reaches, and gets the ropes. Hager ignores the ropebreak call, but again this is No Holds Barred. But then Moxley starts biting Hager! Hager has no choice but to let go there, and is furious. He kicks Moxley around then throws haymakers. Moxley eggs Hager on so Hager DECKS him! Moxley flops out of the ring but Hager pursues. Hager grabs a chair from the timekeeper’s area, and brings it over to Moxley. He JAMS Moxley in the ribs! And digs them into the ribs, to then knee the chair for an extra impact. Moxley clutches his ribs but glares up at Hager. Hager drags Moxley up and into the ring, and brings the chair, too. Hager wedges the chair in the corner, then goes back to Moxley.

Moxley rolls and throws Hager out of the ring! Hager hurries back in, into a PARADIGM SHIFT! And Moxley holds Hager down with body scissors, for the GUILLOTINE! Hager fights his way up and lifts Moxley with him! Hager pries free but Moxley hops down, and they brawl again! Moxley, Hager, forearm for forearm, then CHOPS mixed in. Hager throws haymakers but Moxley throws elbows from all sides.
Moxley runs, into a BIG forearm. Hager runs, KNEES LOW! The low blow knee wouldn’t matter anyway, it’s No Holds Barred. Hager stalks after Moxley, but Moxley throws the chair into Hager’s face! Moxley sets the chair down, and gives Hager PARADIGM SHIFT ON THE CHAIR! Cover, Moxley wins!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
The undefeated Hager is undefeated no more! Moxley survives his battle with The Big Hurt and still has Big Platinum around his waist. Is The Maniac through with The Inner Circle? Is there someone else waiting in the wings to take the title? Or is 2020 the Year of the MOX?
My Thoughts:
A really good episode here, though mostly with filler “tune-up” matches. Naturally, Sammy Guevara, Britt Baker and Shawn Spears were going to win against their opponents tonight, but there was still good stuff in each of those matches. Baker had a good promo from the “dentist’s office,” and her again using the rope stomp is good continuity in her character. Sammy had a good post-match promo, and of course he runs away from Darby Allin. Spears is keeping himself afloat since the world crisis literally put a hold on the #SearchForSpears. But if he keeps winning, Spears can definitely be seen as a contender for the TNT Championship once its been won. Archer VS Cabana was great stuff, but of course Archer wins to head for the finals against Cody.
Havoc joining Sabian is a nice development. Another story on hold is Havoc VS Luther, but to be honest, I wasn’t really feeling that one because I just don’t get Luther. If Luther was built better in AEW by now, maybe. But Havoc being pals with Sabian and possibly being a tag team could be interesting. The Bubbly Bunch was pretty cheesy, but Hager and Jericho had the best parts in the whole thing. I like the odd detail that Jericho is bad at making his own breakfast. Jericho was great again on commentary with Schiavone, he’s gonna be a part I miss when the world can function normally again.
Hager and Moxley had a really good match, but I feel like AEW again has their referees misunderstanding things. No Holds Barred means No Disqualifications with no count outs. This is like when Aubrey kept telling Jericho to do ropebreaks in the Street Fight. Just let the stuff on the ropes happen and then the ref checks on the person after. I feel like we could’ve gotten one less prediction segment by lumping the Inner Circle together at the same time or something. And in the end, the Inner Circle and the Bellator guys were wrong. Moxley is making quite the AEW run fighting from an apparent underdog situation, perfect of an action movie hero. I’m not sure who Moxley faces next, with Sammy in the TNT Championship and many wrestlers unavailable because of pandemic lockdowns. Maybe MJF can at least start beef with promos?
My Score: 8.9/10

Hangman Page is here!
Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!
Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it. Hangman adds that once again, he is thankful for letting them be here in Arena Mexico. Now, let the action begin! The fans cheer as Hangman heads out, will The Cowboy get his hands on The Maniac before the night is over?

Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?
As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.
On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son.

Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Mark Briscoe!
The Rainmaker has a Winner Takes All match with long-time rival, Kenny Omega, but he crossed a line!

Okada bails out and the fans boo. Briscoe waits on Okada while commentary tells Callis he and Okada committed the most despicable thing in all of wrestling. Callis of course says it was the most shrewd tactical move in the history of wrestling. Okada takes his time returning into the ring, and then he circles with Briscoe.

Briscoe bumps Okada off buckles, stomps a mudhole, then stops as the ref counts 4. Briscoe then grinds his forearm into Okada’s face! The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.
Okada runs up but Briscoe blocks a shot to ROCK Okada! Briscoe then RAMS into Okada, throws him out of the ring, and then DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up! Briscoe high-fives the front row before he puts Okada in the ring. Okada goes to a corner, Briscoe runs up and LARIATS! Briscoe goes corner to corner again, but Okada BOOTS him! Briscoe just fires up! Okada dodges this time, and he hoists Briscoe up to DROPKICK him down to the floor! The fans fire up while Grand Slam goes picture in picture.
Okada waits while Briscoe is down and out. A ring count starts, Briscoe stirs, but then Okada goes out to fetch Briscoe. Briscoe fires body shots but Okada kicks low! DDT to the floor! Okada leaves Briscoe behind and the ring count starts again. Briscoe rises up, leans on commentary, and he tells Callis off before he goes to the ring at 6 of 10. Okada is on Briscoe with another DDT! Cover, TWO! Briscoe toughs it out and Okada is annoyed. Okada stalks Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe kicks low!

The fans boo as Okada aims with the belt! BELT SHOTÂ to the ribs!! And then BELT SHOT to the head!! Callis & Okada stomp away on Briscoe, then they leave him behind. Another message sent to not just Kenny Omega but to anyone who would dare defy them. Will Okada go from Continental Champion to Unified Champion after going All In?
MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!
The Scumbag only ever does or uses something when it benefits him, and being extremely patriotic for the United States only seems to happen when he wants to stick it to someone not from the United States. MJF waves Ol’ Glory while he, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin walk down to the ring, but will he have to wave the white flag of surrender here tonight? Or will MJF somehow screw over the arguably greatest and most beloved man in CMLL?
In fact, to counter MJF being an American idiot, Mistico takes off his Sin Cara mask to reveal the colors of Mexico’s flag and therefore the colors of his people. He also has Me Muero as his theme, and the fans all know that one! The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally behind Mistico. The two tie up, MJF SHOVES Mistico away, and then MJF soaks up the heat. MJF mockingly claps and then says up theirs! MVP tells MJF to worry about Mistico, not the fans. The fans tell MJF off and MJF tells them to shut up. MJF and Mistico tie up, Mistico SHOVES MJF, and Mistico eggs MJF on! MJF gets up, he and Mistico circle again, and they tie up. MJF kicks low and grins.
MJF brings Mistico around to headlock but Mistico fires body shots. Mistico powers up and out, then CHOPS! Mistico winds up and the fans rally, and he knuckle locks before he CHOPS again! Mistico goes up, up, and he tightrope walks to FLYING ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Mistico then hits a CODE RED! Cover, TWO! MJF bails out but Mistico builds speed! Mistico handsprings to fake MJF out! MJF thinks he’s smooth for running away, but then MVP tells him to focus on Mistico, not on the fans. MJF says he knows, and he eggs on Mistico. Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!
The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles! MJF stomps away on Mistico, then goes to the other end to stand on the corner. MJF soaks up heat as he does the Pledge of Allegiance!
The fans boo, and MVP again reprimands MJF, he needs to be about business, not about trolling! MJF goes back to Mistico, drags him up, and he brings Mistico around, but Mistico JAWBREAKERS! Mistico runs, hops on, but MJF stops Code Red to reel Mistico in! POWER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives, MVP says this is still fine, and Grand Slam goes picture in picture. MJF sits Mistico up, and he pulls at the mask! MJF’s lucky this is an AEW based event, CMLL rules say this is tantamount to a disqualification! MJF rips at the eyehole, then clamps on a chinlock. MJF grinds Mistico down but Mistico endures.
Mistico fights while the fans tell MJF off again. Mistico rises up, fires body shots, then runs to ROCK MJF! Mistico fires forearms but MJF throat chops! MJF TOSSES Mistico out, distracts the ref, and the Hurt Syndicate attacks! BARRIER BACKBREAKER from Shelton! Shelton shoves Mistico back into the ring, MJF covers, TWO! Mistico is still in this but the ref is a bit suspicious of the Hurt Syndicate. MVP defends their innocence, and MJF puts Mistico on ropes. MJF CHOKES Mistico, the ref counts, and MJF stops at 4. This lets Lashley CHOKE Mistico and throw hands! The Hurt syndicate gets away with more, and MJF covers, TWO!
MVP tells fans to callete, they saw nothing! MJF stalks Mistico, stomps him on the foot, then has him on the ropes. MJF stomps him more, then soaks up heat. MJF drags Mistico up, scoops and carries him, then SLAMS him down! MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs while Grand Slam returns to single picture. MJF sits Mistico back up, runs the ropes, and then just steps up to pelvic thrust! The fans boo and Mistico is pissed now! MVP says no more trolling, MJF, he’s already told him that! MJF ROCKS Mistico, but Mistico eggs him on! MJF ROCKS Mistico, CLUBS him again and again, but then Mistico blocks to fire off forearms! And KICKS, SOBATS and KICKS!
The fans fire up with Mistico, but MJF BITES Mistico’s mask! MJF whips, Mistico reverses, then he ducks ‘n’ dodges to handspring and BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up and Mistico aims from a corner.

My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Christopher Daniels talks with Hangman Page backstage.
The Fallen Angel tells the Cowboy that at All In, when it’s Hangman VS Moxley, Daniels knows Hangman can get it done. But there’s still a lot of time between now and then, and it isn’t just Moxley they have to worry about. There are all the Death Riders, and Hangman can’t fight them all on his own. And no matter what The Young Bucks say, Hangman should know they’re in this for themselves. Daniels wishes he could be there for Hangman, but he can’t. But Hangman still has friends in this locker room that, despite their history, will be there for him. As for those that have… harsh feelings for Hangman, perhaps Hangman should try and rectify that.
Daniels leaves Hangman with that to think on, but can the Cowboy mend those bridges. Wait, Jon Moxley is lurking in the shadows! And he sends his Death Riders to follow Hangman! Will the Maniac make sure All In’s world title match doesn’t even happen? Is that a sign that Mox fears Hangman?
Will Ospreay VS Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana!
Speaking of those allies, The Aerial Assassin is more than ready to back the Hangman’s gambit. However, the Realest has sworn off ever helping The Cowboy with anything, and vice-versa. Can Ospreay convince Swerve that they’re better off together? Or will Ospreay be kicked out of Swerve’s House?
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Ospreay and Swerve stare down while the fans chant, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The fans lose their minds just from Swerve stepping up and offering a handshake. Ospreay is wary, but he accepts. The fans cheer the sportsmanship, and then the two square up. They keep the wristlock, feel out the grapple, and Ospreay headlocks. Swerve powers up and out but Ospreay RAMS him! Both men bob ‘n’ weave the other’s shots, then Swerve headlocks. Ospreay powers up and out, drops down, then hurdles. Swerve waistlocks, ducks an elbow, and he shoves Ospreay.
Ospreay rolls off Swerve’s back, rolls under, then rolls back to arm-drag! Swerve drags Ospreay down, both men kip up, and Ospreay RANAS! Swerve handsprings through to RANA in return, but Ospreay handsprings through! The fans are thunderous as the two have another stare down! They cheer “A E DUB!” for making this match happen. The two circle again, feel things out, and tie up collar ‘n’ elbow. They are in a deadlock, go around, and Ospreay puts Swerve on the ropes. The fans cheer, the ref counts, and Ospreay lets off. Ospreay swings but Swerve puts Ospreay on the ropes. Swerve lets off slowly, to then DECK Ospreay!
The fans fire up and Ospreay already has a bloody nose! Ospreay shakes it off but Swerve whips him to ropes. Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges, RANAS, and Swerve can’t flip through this time! Ospreay scoops and SLAMS, then STANDING SKY TWISTERS! Cover, ONE!! Swerve grits his teeth but he got out quick. Ospreay gives him a sharp Kawada Kick! Swerve scrambles to a corner, Ospreay ROCKS him, HEADBUTTS him, then wrenches to a wristlock. Ospreay CHOPS Swerve, but Swerve just snarls. Ospreay grins through the bloody nose, and he CHOPS again! Swerve grimaces but Ospreay winds up to CHOP again!
Swerve DECKS Ospreay again! The fans fire up while Ospreay goes to a corner. Swerve snapmares Ospreay, goes up, and FALLING UPPERCUTS! Then he hits the Griddy! The fans cheer as Swerve puts a little extra on it. Swerve waits on Ospreay, whips him to ropes, but Ospreay grabs ropes! Swerve runs up but Ospreay DUMPS him out, only for Swerve to handspring through! Swerve lands safe on the floor, but Ospreay PLANCHAS, only for Swerve to dodge! Swerve hops up to the apron to BOOT Ospreay down! Swerve puts Ospreay in the ring, then goes up and in, somersaults and FLATLINERS! And then a gator roll to a deadlift suplex!
The fans cheer, Swerve covers, TWO! Ospreay is still in this and the fans applaud. Swerve grows frustrated but Prince Nana coaches him up. The fans rally for Ospreay but Swerve CLUBS Ospreay on the head. Ospreay goes to a corner, Swerve runs in, but Swerve blocks a boot! Ospreay swipes at Swerve but he can’t reach him! Swerve slips under to BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Ospreay toughs it out and the fans duel again. Swerve sits Ospreay up into a chicken wing, but Ospreay fights off the crossface. Swerve powers through to clamp on the chinlock, but Ospreay fights up. Swerve wrangles Ospreay with a chinbar!
The fans rally as Ospreay endures and fights up again. Ospreay reaches out, the fans duel, and Swerve keeps Ospreay from the ropes. Ospreay powers out to CHOP, but Swerve still grinds the arm! Ospreay CHOPS, Swerve puts pressure on the shoulder, then he CLUBS the arm! Ospreay clutches the elbow, but he CHOPS in return! It was almost a backhand really, and Swerve sputters a bit. Swerve takes a swing, Ospreay dodges to handspring and NEURALIZER KICK! Both men go to corners, Ospreay runs in, but Swerve puts Ospreay on the apron. Ospreay ROCKS Swerve, then springboards, PIP PIP CHEERIO!
Swerve bails out and the fans fire up as Ospreay powers up! Ospreay builds speed, handspring and SASUKE SPECIAL! Down goes Swerve and the fans fire up again! “This is Awesome!” as the Summer Blockbuster goes picture in picture!
Swerve clutches a shoulder and shakes out his arm. Ospreay goes outside to fetch Swerve, and he sends Swerve into railing! Ospreay winds up to BOOT Swerve! Swerve flops against railing then falls to the floor! Ospreay drags Swerve up, whips him into the steel steps, and Swerve hits off of them knee first! Swerve staggers away and leans against the apron. Ospreay kicks the bad leg, puts Swerve in the ring, then drags him to the corner. Ospreay SLAMS Swerve’s leg against the post! Swerve writhes, Ospreay high-fives some fans, then Ospreay goes back to the apron. Ospreay steps inside, whips Swerve to a corner, then runs up to ELBOW him!
Ospreay snapmares Swerve down and the Summer Blockbuster returns to single picture. Ospreay goes up a corner, waits on Swerve, and hits a BLINDSIDE FLYING FOREARM! The fans fire up and Ospreay calls his shot. Ospreay springboards, OSC- COUNTER NECKBREAKER! Swerve hurries to stand Ospreay up for another NECKBREAKER!

But Ospreay fights off another neckbreaker to then throw hands. Swerve sweeps the legs! Basement SUPERKICK! Ospreay dangles over the floor!
The fans fire up as Swerve goes out, and hits a DRAPING NECKBREAKERÂ to the floor! The ref reprimands but that was just brutal, not illegal! Swerve calculates what he has to do next, and he puts Ospreay in the ring. Swerve has Ospreay on the apron now, hoists him up, then hangs him out to dry! Swerve goes up top to GUILLOTINE DOUBLE STOMP! Ospreay writhes, Swerve covers, TWO! Swerve is annoyed but he stays focused. Ospreay clutches his lower back but Swerve clamps onto the arms. Swerve traps one, then pulls back on the other. Ospreay resists but Swerve digs his knuckles into Ospreay’s back!
Ospreay reaches back to hit a headlock takeover and cover! TWO, and Ospreay avoids a House Call! Swerve avoids a Hidden Blade! Swerve UP KICKS, then half nelsons, but Ospreay arm-drags free! HIDDEN BLADE!! Ospreay doesn’t stop there, he underhooks for the STORM- NO, Swerve slips free and scoops to POWERSLAM! Gator roll and suplex, but into STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! The fans fire up and Ospreay springboards, OSCUTTER into an ARMBAR! Swerve makes it a SHORT ARM SCISSOR! Ospreay endures, fights around, and reaches out, all while the fans duel! They roll, Ospreay stacks, ONE and Ospreay deadlifts Swerve!
Ospreay powers up to WHEELBARROW GERMAN Swerve into buckles!! The fans are thunderous while both men are down again! Ospreay rises at center while Swerve uses the ropes to stand. Ospreay runs up, falls for the feint, and Swerve KICKS the legs out! Then Swerve goes up the corner, only for Ospreay to tuck him in! CHEEKY NANDOS! Ospreay drags Swerve back for a POISON-RANA! Ospreay prepares the elbow and the fans fire up again! HIDDEN- NO, Swerve mule kicks, HAYMAKERS, and ROLLING ELBOWS! Swerve runs, into a SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO! Ospreay springboards, OSCUTTER!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans are thunderous again as Ospreay drags Swerve up with underhooks. Swerve fights the lift, goes to ropes, and he DUMPS Ospreay out! Ospreay tumbles but stands back up, only for Swerve to PLANCHA! Ospreay moves, Swerve lands on the apron, and Swerve ASAI MOONSAULTS, but Ospreay slides into the ring! Swerve’s leg jams and he hobbles to the desk! Ospreay lines up a shot, FLYING HIDDEN BLADE!! The fans are losing their minds again and Nana’s jaw has dropped, but the Blockbuster goes picture in picture again!
The ref checks both men, and Ospreay’s bloody nose is still a concern. Both men are able to continue, so the ref starts a ring count. Ospreay rises first, and he decides to leave swerve behind! Nana coaches Swerve up and Swerve makes it into the ring at 7, only to get a COAST2COAST! Cover, TWO!! Swerve survives that sniper shot and Ospreay grows frustrated. Ospreay stalks Swerve, blocks the up kick and steps through the legs! Swerve fights it but Ospreay still gets the FIGURE FOUR! Swerve flails and reaches out but Ospreay CHOPS him! Swerve CHOPS back, but falls back. His shoulders are down so it’s a cover, TWO!
Swerve fights around, Ospreay stops the turnover, and he even grabs Swerve’s hand to keep Swerve from reaching the ropes. Ospreay fires a haymaker, Swerve fires back, repeat! Ospreay puts on the pressure, Swerve falls back into the cover, TWO! Swerve continues to endure, and he works to rock the boat, only for Ospreay to put on more pressure! Swerve still works to turn things over, Ospreay fights against it, but then Swerve uses that to roll! Ospreay endures, but he quickly rolls it back! Swerve uses that to have the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Ospreay undoes the hold, and both men are down, catching their breath.
Ospreay rolls away and rises up as the Summer Blockbuster returns to single picture. The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” as Ospreay watches Swerve stand. SUPERKICK! Swerve wobbles but stays on his feet. Ospreay winds up, and SUPERKICKS again! Swerve snarls as that one woke him up! But Ospreay just SUPERKICKS again! Swerve roars, but Ospreay SUPERKICKS again! Swerve drops to a knee, Ospreay takes aim, HIDDEN- NO, Swerve dodges and Ospreay collides with buckles! Swerve hurries after the bad arm!

Swerve slips free, Alabama Lift, DEADEYE?!?! Swerve uses Hangman’s move?!? Cover, TWO!!! The fans are thunderous as Swerve goes to a corner!
Swerve goes up, up, and takes aim! KILL- NO, Ospreay avoids the stomps! HIDDEN BLADE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Swerve survives and the fans are loving this! The fans rally, Nana shouts at Swerve, and Swerve rises up. Ospreay slowly follows, and the two stare down. “This is Awesome!” as Swerve grins. Ospreay fires a forearm! Swerve fires back! Ospreay and Swerve laugh!? They go forearm for forearm, faster and harder! They stand, and Swerve pats Ospreay on the shoulder. Then he ROCKS Ospreay! But Ospreay feeds off that! The fans fire up as the forearms just keep going! Ospreay wobbles, but he winds up to KICK!
Ospreay KICKS, KICKS, but Swerve counter kicks, WRINGS the bad arm, then HOUSE CALL outta nowhere!! Swerve goes to the corner while Ospreay sits up in a daze! KILL STOMPS!!! Cover, TWO!?!?!? WHAT?!? But Swerve just clamps onto the arm, and STOMPS it! Ospreay writhes, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” HOUSE- HIDDEN BLADE!!! Ospreay isn’t done, he underhooks for the STORM BREAKER!! Cover, TWO?!?!?!? Swerve barely gets that arm up, and Portland is erupting all over again! The fans rally up even harder as Ospreay underhooks Swerve again! Swerve resists the lift, but Ospreay muscles him up!
Ospreay roars and the fans duel, but wait… Is Ospreay thinking of using that move?! Portland is just as torn as Ospreay, but then Swerve powers out! Swerve wrenches, and INVERTED Alabama Lifts, for the VERTEBREAKER!!! Ospreay sputters as he sits up in a daze! Swerve calls his shot, for the HOUSE CALL!!! But Ospreay flops to the apron!! The fans rally as we hit the last sixty seconds of the time limit! Swerve and Ospreay are both at the corner as the fans rally even harder! THIRTY SECONDS! Swerve climbs, Ospreay sits up, but Swerve’s legs are weak! TIME’S UP!!!
Time Limit Draw
The fans boo as the thirty minutes are up, sparing Ospreay from the Kill Stomps on the apron! Swerve is frustrated, Nana grabs a mic, and Swerve says, “Oh my God, I’m in so much pain right now… But what we just showed right here, Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay, we are the best because AEW is where the best wrestle.” The fans cheer that! Swerve says the only way to prove you’re the best is to finish matches, dammit! Swerve tells Ospreay that they’re both messed up pretty bad, but Swerve knows Ospreay wants to beat Swerve. Swerve says they keep going with sudden death! The fans love that idea, too!
But wait! The Death Riders appear, ready to ruin the fun! Swerve looks around, and here come Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and Jon Moxley. Did they already deal with Hangman Page before coming out here? Are they about to remove all of their enemies in one night? Claudio looms over Ospreay on the outside while Moxley paces. Swerve stands his ground, despite being greatly outnumbered, but then The Young Bucks attack! The fans boo as Matthew & Nicholas knock Swerve down, stomp him around, then sit him up for the E V P TRIGGER!! And they also have handcuffs!?!
Nana drags Swerve to the apron, but Nick SUPERKICKS Nana! The fans boo as now, the Bucks cuff Swerve! A pair for each hand, and they cuff Swerve to the ropes! The Bucks laugh as Swerve is now a prisoner! SUPERKICK! SUPERKICK! And SUPERKICK!! It’s a one-sided Superkick Party, and The Bucks have Yuta pass them his black duffel bag. And from inside the bag, they bring out tack-covered Reeboks! Just like Swerve used on The Bucks at Anarchy in the Arena! Matt says you mess with The Bucks, you end up a dead man! But then OSPREAY gets in to take the DOUBLE SPIKED SUPERKICKS!!!
The fans lose their minds, and even The Bucks are stunned by this! Doc Sampson hurries right into the ring to check on Ospreay, and Swerve is enraged! Portland chants “F THE BUCKS!” while they sheepishly retreat. The Death Riders have also left, the damage done without them lifting a finger. The fans cheer Ospreay on for saving his friendly rival, but is he now out of the fight against the tyranny in AEW?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Renee Paquette is with the AEW Continental Champion and brings up tonight’s contract signing. Set for All In, it will be Kazuchika Okada VS Kenny Omega, Winner Takes All! These two have had some of the most legendary matches in all of professional wrestling, but this will be the first on American soil. Is this version of Okada ready for this version of Omega? Okada says yes, but then Don Callis interrupts. The Jackal apologizes, but to answer this question, he would like to pose his own question: Why is Okada in this match and not Kyle Fletcher? Has Okada had a better 2025 than Kyle Fletcher?
Why is Okada in this match and not Konosuke Takeshita? Has Okada really had a better 2025 than Takeshita? Or maybe Callis should be addressing this line of questioning right at Okada? Why isn’t it Kyle or Konosuke over Okada? This makes Callis sick! Okada takes Callis’ accusatory finger and bends it! But in steps Lance Archer! Then on the other side, it’s Kyle & Konosuke. Callis begs for mercy, Okada lets go, and he calls Callis, “B*tch.” The Rainmaker leaves, is it wise for Callis to get on his bad side? Or will someone in the Callis Family look to take that title off Okada before All In?
Mistico VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!
The Crown Jewel of CMLL makes his return to AEW, and more than ready for next week’s Grand Slam in Mexico! But will Mistico be shining in the spotlight of this Summer Blockbuster? Or will the Vanilla Babyface sour the mood?
The bell rings and the fans rally as Mistico and Blake circle. They feel things out, then Mistico offers a handshake. Blake says sure, and then he just flips Mistico off! Blake BOOTS Mistico down, whips, but then drops down to hurdle over. Mistico leaps over the monkey flip, but Blake dodges the lariat! Blake RANAS, Mistico flounders, but then Mistico is up to block the chop! Mistico knuckle locks, CHOPS, then goes up the corner. Mistico balances up top, but Blake ARM-DRAGS him down! Blake rains down fists, soaks up the heat, then DECKS Mistico! Blake CHOKES Mistico on the ropes, steps off at the ref’s count, and soaks up more heat.
Mistico sits up to feed off the rally, but Blake DECKS him! Mistico goes to a corner, the fans rally more, but Blake brings Mistico up to whip. Mistico handsprings to BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up, Mistico ducks ‘n’ dodges to then RANA! Blake tumbles, staggers to his feet, but again Mistico blocks and CHOPS! Mistico goes up, up, and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Blake tumbles out of the ring and the fans fire up! Mistico builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp with that true tope suicida! The fans fire up for Mistico while both men are down. Mistico rises, feeds off that energy again, and he puts Blake back in the ring.
Mistico pounds the apron to rally the fans again, then he aims. Blake runs up but Mistico dodges to GAMANGIRI! Mistico springboards to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Mistico keeps the fans going as he stands again. Mistico puts Blake in the drop zone, climbs up the corner, but Big Shotty grabs at him! The fans boo as the ref misses that, and then Blake BOOTS Mistico to the floor! Blake builds speed to FOSBURY TOPE! The fans boo but Blake puts Mistico in the ring! Blake goes up again, springboard and 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Mistico shows why he’s a top tier champion in CMLL, but Blake vows to end this!
Blake goes up the corner again, only for Mistico to GAMANGIRI! Mistico climbs up after Blake, has him on the very top, and hits a SUPER SPANSH FLY! Cover, Mistico wins!
Winner: Mistico, by pinfall
CMLL’s finest certainly makes an impact on the Summer Blockbuster, but wait! The Hurt Syndicate makes their entrance! Montel Vontavious Porter leads the way for Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin & Maxwell Jacob Friedman while Portland sings, “We Hurt~ People!” The All Mighty has the Scumbag stand down a moment, and MVP has a mic. “Attention AEW viewing audience, this is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. I won’t be addressing you in this specific situation, because MJF has a message for the cabron in the ring!” The fans boo, but MJF says he is talking now, so thanks, Portland.
MVP demands respect for the Young Genius! MJF tells Mistico that his match was impressive. And it isn’t easy to impress MJF since he’s the most complete pro-wrestler in this sport today. So tell you want, “Misty…” The fans keep booing as MJF says he will give Mistico a match next week in Arena Mexico. MJF looks forward to it, too, because he looks forward to ripping “that dime store mask off your stupid face.” The fans boo more, but MJF says Mistico isn’t just getting any man. He is getting a patriot! For one night only, MJF is dusting off his red white ‘n’ blue just for you, Mistico! MJF says God Bless America! God Bless your American Champion!
But most importantly, God Bless your American Hero, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, M J F! The fans are torn given how MJF is using patriotism to put himself over. The flag and the streamers fly, and then MJF has the music stop while he steps into the ring. The streamers make that a bit tricky but MJF steps to Mistico. Mistico stops MJF there, and snatches the mic! The fans cheer, and he tells “MJF, HAHAHAHA! Sabes que, see you next week in Mexico City, en mi casa, Arena Mexico!” MVP has to translate the next part for MJF, and it isn’t very nice. MJF tells Mistico he might think he’s a big deal, but MJF grew up watching him on TV!
To MJF, this isn’t mystical Mistico! This is just sloppy Sin Cara! And now, much like the Star-Spangled Banner, he’s about to get dropped! But Mistico blocks the sucker punch to UPPERCUT MJF! Lashley & Shelton attack and they stomp Mistico down! The fans boo while Lashley and Shelton sit Mistico up! MJF wants the mask as a trophy! But wait! Here comes #JetSpeed! Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight rush in from the crowd side, Mascara Dorada by their side! TRIPLE PLANCHAS onto the Hurt Syndicate! The fans fire up and refs clean up this mess of streamers! The Hurt Syndicate apparently took out Komander earlier today, will Dorada & #JetSpeed make them pay?
Six Man Tag: The Hurt Syndicate VS JetSpeed & Mascara Dorada!
The trios sort out and MJF shouts about one in, one out! MJF starts against Dorada, and… Is MJF wearing ring gear a la MVP’s style? The bell rings, but then everyone rushes in and brawls! Lashley is after Speedball, Shelton has Knight, and MJF beats down Dorada! Lashley TOSSES Bailey out, then pursues, and Shelton whips Knight hard into a corner! MJF soaks up the heat with a smug grin and flexing, and Shelton scoop SLAMS Knight on the floor! Lashley THROWS Bailey into railing! MVP joins commentary and says MJF decided to make this a big party. The fans chant “YOU LOOK STUPID!” at MJF and MJF tells them to shut up, no one asked them!
MJF scoops Dorada to SLAM him, then drags Dorada up again. MJF slaps Dorada around, but Dorada ROCKS him in return! Dorada runs up, MJF handsprings to dodge! MJF kicks, Dorada blocks, and Dorada FLIPS MJF! MJF lands out, and he pokes Dorada in the eyes! MJF says, “Lucha libre is easy, Mistico! It’s easy!” But Dorada pokes MJF in the eyes! Dorada kicks, whips, but MJF reverses. Dorada handsprings, MJF dodges, but Dorada ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! The fans fire up while MJF flounders, hot tag to Knight! Knight stomps MJF, then tags Bailey. #JetSpeed double whip MJF to ropes, then DOUBLE HIP TOSS!
The fans fire up as Knight SLIDING SHOULDERS! Bailey STANDING SHOOTING STARS! Cover, TWO! MJF stays in this but Bailey stays between him and the Hurt Syndicate. Bailey KICKS, KICKS, and then bumps MJF off buckles. Tag to Dorada, and Dorada springboards to AX HANDLE! Dorada fires the fans up, but MJF CLAWS Dorada’s eyes! MJF puts Dorada in the corner, then claims Dorada got him in his eyes! This distracts the ref so Lashley can TOSS Dorada to the floor! The fans go nuts seeing that crash landing, and Lashley shrugs while the Summer Blockbuster goes picture in picture.
Bailey protests but the ref keeps him back. MJF tags Lashley, Lashley RAMS Dorada into the barriers, then whips him into the steel steps! Dorada flounders, Lashley storms over, and Lashley has Bailey and Knight back up. Lashley puts Dorada in the ring, stomps him, then RAMS Dorada into an open corner. Lashley RAMS Dorada again and again, then fires hands! Lashley reels Dorada in, suplexes, and stalls for a count of TEN before the SLAM! Cover, TWO! Dorada stays in this but Lashley is just amused. Tag to MJF and he runs, runs, and runs… to then just poke Dorada in the eyes! MJF flips off Portland while stepping on Dorada.
MJF drags Dorada up, tags Shelton, and they mug Dorada. Shelton stands Dorada up, Dorada fires hands and forearms, but Shelton fires in return! Shelton whips, then he FLAPJACKS Dorada! Dorada flounders, Shelton covers, Knight breaks it! Shelton is annoyed but he drags Dorada back. Shelton stomps Dorada, tags MJF, and MJF CLAWS Dorada’s back! Tag to Lashley and he stands Dorada for a NECKBREAKER! Lashley flexes, Dorada crawls, but Lashley mocks him. Lashley then BLASTS #JetSpeed off the corner! Lashley puts Dorada in the corner, runs corner to corner, and he RAMS Dorada!

Mistico gets away, having gotten a semblance of revenge for CMLL and himself! Will Mistico humble the Scumbag in front of the people of Mexico? Or will MJF show us that hurting people is a universal language?
Hangman Page heads to the ring!
But now he’s getting jumped by the Death Riders! We saw them stalking him earlier, but only now do they strike! The fans boo as Claudio drags Hangman up to his feet, and we see that he’s been gagged with duct tape, and his hands are tied behind his back! The beating is one-sided, and Claudio even uses a stage speaker to SMASH Hangman in the legs! Then the Death Riders RAM Hangman into the apron! They shove Hangman into the ring, and Moxley takes his time following after his minions. Moxley paces, mic in hand, and he has the mugging stop. “Terribly sorry about all this. It’s just that I wanna make sure that we can have a real conversation. Y’know how distracted you can get.
“Your head’s all over the place. You’re worried about everybody else but yourself. We need you focused. These people need you focused! Because this is your time. All In, the AEW World Championship. For you, this is do or die.” The fans tell Moxley to shut up, but the mugging just continues. Moxley says he’s been watching Hangman, and Hangman is… complicated. Moxley doesn’t understand Hangman he doesn’t like Hangman. The “Millennial Cowboy,” right? For a long time now, Hangman has been searching high and low for something. Moxley doesn’t know what it is, but Hangman has exactly four weeks to find it.
Moxley tells Hangman he has four weeks to step up and become the man everybody here wants you to become. And if he’s not prepared to do that, then he can pack his s*it and get the hell out! Hangman RISING HEADBUTTS Moxley!! Moxley falls, the Death Riders swarm him again, and then Claudio grabs a chair! They put the chair around Hangman’s head! The fans boo but Moxley has Claudio stand down. It seems Moxley still wants All In to happen after all. But then the sound of thunder summons the Opps! Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Hobbs run The Death Riders off!
The fans fire up as the AEW World Trios Champions have Hangman’s back! Moxley leaves it at this, because his message was sent. But then Hangman grabs a mic to shout, “I have come too far and I am too close for that to be the best that you got! Because I would ride through DEATH ITSELF to take that world championship!!” The fans cheer, and Hangman says if he finds even one Death Rider tonight, eh will take their heads! Hangman grabs that chair Claudio was going to use, and now he’s on the hunt! Will Hangman make sure “The One True King of AEW” loses some pawns on the road to All In: Texas?

AEW takes a look at the history of Okada VS Omega.
“In the professional wrestling world, once in a great while, there are rivalries that are not merely captivating. Some cross the threshold into something more. Something generational. Something… legendary. For Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada, they found this kind of rivalry. Okada established himself as an ace of NJPW, having held the promotion’s top prize seven times. Of Japan’s long lineage of some of the greatest wrestlers to walk the earth, Kazuchika Okada put himself firmly near the top of that list.
“Enter Kenny Omega. The outsider, who would lead a Bullet Club of other outsiders. They would meet many times across from each other as part of teams, yet a one-on-one meeting of these titans of NJPW was inevitable. After becoming the first gaijin to ever win the renowned G1 Climax, Omega was already on course to a career making showdown. The event? WrestleKingdom 11 at the Tokyo Dome. That match? Game changing.” Okada would win that true instant classic, and promised to make it rain in NJPW so long as he was part of it. “In an epic rematch, the champion, Okada, chose Omega for his challenger.
“Little did he know how far it would push his own limits.” Don Callis was even there to help call the match that determined the future of NJPW, and pro-wrestling as a whole. NJPW Dominion 2017 would end in a ONE HOUR TIME-LIMIT DRAW! And as fate would have it, later that year in the G1 Climax, a final round block match would see these two meet again. The trilogy did not disappoint, and Omega would win. Three classics, 1-1-1 was the record, so the only way to determine who was truly the better man, Okada and Omega agreed to a NO TIME LIMIT, Best 2 Out of 3 Falls, and NJPW Dominion 2018!
After pushing past limits and then some, going to the final fall and well over an hour, it would be Omega’s win to finally become IWGP Heavyweight Champion! “In the wake of their battles, their paths would diverge.” Omega helped found AEW, Okada continued to make it rain in NJPW, “but with any true rival, eventually you find your way back.” Okada decided to be All Elite with The Elite, and now this rivalry will truly solidify itself as legend. “A stadium show for the ages. Kazuchika Okada, Kenny Omega, Rainmaker, Best Bout Machine, one more time!”
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
AEW returns and Schiavone welcomes us back to the Summer Blockbuster. The table is already set, the belts are already on display, and there’s something underneath a familiar shroud. Schiavone is honored to be here for the Winner Takes All contract signing, Okada VS Omega, live on Saturday, July 12th, part of All In: Texas. This is the most anticipated match in AEW, so first of all, welcome out the Continental Champion, Kazuchika Okada! The fans cheer as The Rainmaker makes his way out to the ring. Schiavone now welcomes out the International Champion, Kenny Omega! The fans cheer again as now the Best Bout Machine gets all that pyro!
Omega high-fives some fans before he joins Okada and Schiavone in the ring. Each champion stands by their belt, and Schiavone again says it is an honor to preside over this contract signing. But before that, this is a winner takes all match. So at All In, the winner will be crowned the first-ever AEW Unified Champion! Schiavone reveals the brand new belt and the fans lose their minds just looking at it! Schiavone says it is time to sign the contract. They’ve both read it over, so Okada may sign first. Okada does just that, then passes the contract over to Omega. Omega takes the mic first to say, “Seven years. Seven years almost to the day, we had our last match.”
Omega says watching that video package, he barely recognized himself. But when it comes to this match, they’ll leave it all in the ring one last time, for everything. Omega then signs his part, and it is official! The two men step up and Omega offers a handshake. Okada considers it, and he takes it! The fans cheer the sportsmanship, and then both men pull the other in close. They talk a bit of trash, but wait! The Don Callis Family makes their way out here? The fans boo as The Jackal steps out on stage, mic in hand. Callis smirks and nods, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans also have something to say: “F DON CALLIS!”
Callis tells Portland to be quiet but they just keep going. Callis tells Kenny that he should be ashamed of himself! This match should not be between Omega and Okada! This should be Omega VS Takeshita or Omega VS Kyle! Omega throws off his jacket and tells Callis to cut the crap! He has heard enough! Everyone has! The fans cheer that! Callis says Omega should face Kyle or Takeshita! Omega says yeah, of course, it’s all about Kyle and Takeshita now. But the thing is, Omega’s been there, done that, beaten them, and Callis will not ruin this match! If those guys want their shot at the belt, they have to get in line like everyone else.
But for this match at All In, it is Omega VS Okada! There is not one trick Callis can play to ruin it! Omega knows all of Callis’ tricks, and so do all the fans! Oh, Omega knows all of Callis’ tricks?! Well, kid, you don’t know this one! Okada CLOBBERS Omega with the Continental Championship belt! The fans boo, but it would seem that confrontation was a facade! And now Callis brings out a baton! He hands it to Okada, then he stands Omega up! Okada winds up to SMASH Omega in the stomach! The fans boo as Okada drags Omega up to CLUB him on the back! The fans chant at Okada, “You Sold Out!” Medics rush in and Callis has Okada stand down.
Callis and Okada leave together while a backboard and stretcher are brought out for Omega. Omega doesn’t want to be carried away but his stomach and lower midsection are still a concern after his diverticulitis surgery. But wait, Okada isn’t done! He goes up the corner! Callis is gleeful as Okada hits the MACHO ELBOWÂ while Omega is on the backboard! The fans boo more and the medical team reprimands Okada. Christopher Daniels storms out here and tells them to back off! They’ve done enough, and if they do any more, there will be consequences! Callis threatens Daniels with the baton! Daniels says he may be retired but he can still mess Callis up!
Callis steps outside, and he intimidates the medics and even Michael Nakazawa! And then Okada SHOVES Daniels down! MACHO ELBOW from the apron!! Omega falls off the stretcher and to the floor, and he vomits blood!! The fans lose their minds while Okada just smiles watching the results of his psychotic actions! Okada & Callis finally leave, the medics get Omega out of there, and Alex Marvez catches Callis & Okada as they reach the parking lot. That was absolutely disgusting! What is wrong with them?! Callis says get away from him! They’re gonna get killed in here, they gotta go! Callis & Okada get in Callis’ car and he tells the driver to go!
The car practically peels out of the parking garage and off into the night! Will Callis make Okada the future Unified Continental & International Champion by any means necessary? Or will Omega still be able to go All In?
Adam Cole is here!
Portland cheers up seeing the AEW TNT Champion make his way out here, and they join in on the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” Cole is here to watch this next match, who takes a step closer to the TNT Championship after this Collision?
Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!
The Pride of Professional Wrestling called out the Protostar, knowing that they’re each hungry for gold. But will the 5 Tool Player be able to Molly Whop the Don Callis Family’s favorite son? Or will Bowens be shot down by the Aussie Arrow?
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Bowens and Kyle stare down, and the fans sing, “Oh~ Scissor Me, Daddy~!” Bowens grins as Cole and Billy scissor finger! Kyle and Bowens circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. They go around, Bowens digs his heels in, but Kyle turns things around to put Bowens in the corner. The ref counts, Kyle rolls back and flexes. The fans are torn but Kyle tells Billy to “SUCK IT!” Bowens has Billy calm down, he can handle this. Billy says that’s Kyle’s one warning. Bowens and Kyle circle, tie up, and Kyle turns things around, only for Bowens to turn things back around. Bowens now rolls back and he scissor fingers!
Kyle runs up, Bowens dodges, and Bowens headlocks. Bowens grinds Kyle down but Kyle powers up and out. Bowens RAMS Kyle, Kyle rebounds to RUN Bowens over! Kyle smirks, runs, but Bowens stays low. Bowens hurdles, but Kyle bypasses the monkey flip, only for Bowens to avoid the Penalty Kick! Bowens rolls Kyle up, TWO! Kyle stands, ducks a shot to whip, and then he drops, hurdles, but Bowens shoves him away! Mule kick! Front kick! Bowens runs, and he slips through the lariat to FLOATING DDT!

The fans rally, Bowens whips, and then Bowens SPLASHES in the corner! Wrench and ANGLE SLAM! Cover, TWO! Kyle stays in this but Billy coaches Bowens. Archer tells Kyle to get up but Bowens has Kyle first. But Kyle scoops to SLAM! Kyle hobbles away, Archer makes sure Cole saw that, but Bowens is up. Bowens runs up, Kyle puts him on the apron, and Kyle runs to CALF KICK! Bowens falls to the floor and Kyle grins while the Summer Blockbuster goes picture in picture.
Bowens sputters, Billy checks on him, and Billy warns Archer to stay back. Archer says the same back, but then Kyle goes out to fetch Bowens. Kyle reels Bowens in for an APRON BACK SUPLEX! Bowens writhes, Kyle taunts Billy, and then Kyle grins as he stalks Bowens in the ring. Kyle stomps Bowens around, then stalks him to the ropes. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Bowens down! And JUMP STOMPS again! Kyle drags Bowens up to scoop and SLAM him! Kyle paces while Bowens writhes, then Kyle covers, TWO! Kyle taunts Portland while the Summer Blockbuster returns to single picture. Bowens rises, but Kyle is on him already.
Kyle suplexes but Bowens blocks! Kyle KNEES Bowens again and again, then suplexes again. Bowens slips free, mule kicks, front kicks, and runs to FAMOUSER, only for Kyle to slip out the back! Bowens blocks another suplex to GOURD BUSTER! Bowens runs, and now FAMOUSER! The fans fire up and Bowens covers, TWO! Kyle is tougher than that but Bowens works to refocus. The fans rally as Bowens brings Kyle up. Bowens CHOPS, whips, but Kyle blocks by holding ropes! Bowens BOOTS Kyle for it, then whips, but Kyle reverses to wrench and SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Bowens tumbles out of the ring while Kyle snarls.
Archer laughs at Bowens, but then he and Billy shout at each other. Kyle goes out after Bowens, stares Cole down and Cole says don’t even. But Kyle brings Bowens up, only for Bowens to slip free! And then Electric Chai Lift, and SLAM off the apron! Kyle is dazed and Bowens pushes him in the ring. Bowens LARIATS Kyle inside-out! Cover, TWO! Kyle toughs it out but Bowens drags him to a drop zone. The fans rally as Bowens climbs, but Kyle rises up! GAMANGIRI! Bowens sits back, Kyle shakes out the stars, and Kyle climbs.

Carlos Cabrera is in the ring.
The former AAA commentator, now All Elite, thanks Portland for the reception, and says in just seven days, we will see a wonderful collaboration of AEW and CMLL. The fans cheer that, and Cabrera adds that when we talk about this collaboration, nothing comes to mind better than introducing to us a star that has decades in this business and is still going. His debut was FOUR decades ago, and he is the Idol of Children, for the young love him so much, but so do fans of all ages. In Cabrera’s book, this is one of the best ever, with so many accomplishments and championships in his career. A person who has taken many masks of most importance in lucha libre.
And in Cabrera’s opinion, this person is a real, truly living legend! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome out Atlantis! The fans cheer as the OG Atlantis makes his way out, accompanied by his son, Atlantis Jr! The Atlantis familia go to the ring to join Cabrera, and Cabrera says this is a huge, historic collaboration. Who better to talk about that than- FTR? Stokely Hathaway, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood take their interrupting to a new level, and #BigStoke has the mic to ask, “Did I hear the words, ‘living legend?’ Because there’s only two living legends that I know of, and they are standing right next to me!”
Stoke leads the way into the ring as he excuses Cabrera. Stoke says that Atlantis Sr. has that look in his eyes. It is either excitement, or the look of someone so old, they’re about to defecate themselves on national television. The fans boo but FTR laughs. Stoke says he gets it, Atlantis is scared, and he has every single reason to be scared! He will give a synopsis of everything FTR has accomplished the past few weeks. They took out the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express! They took out Nigel McGuinness at Double Or Nothing! And ever since then, they turned Nigel into a “pill popper.” Stoke says yes, Nigel has been popping sleeping pills hoping that he’ll wake up in 2002, the last time he was relevant!
The fans boo more, but Stoke says Daniel Garcia hasn’t been the same since Double Or Nothing! Wanna know why? Because Garcia has contemplated early retirement! And if the rumors are true, that OnlyFans link will drop any day now! And Copeland, where is he? Where’s Cope? When’s he coming back? What’s he up to? Stoke will tell us what Cope is up to: Staring at a wall, his brain sizzling like a fajita plate from Chili’s! What a great list of accomplishments! But there is one more thing that this great team has to accomplishment. They have performed in every single major arena, all except for Arena Mexico.
And FTR doesn’t have a match yet, but what they want, they always get! And it doesn’t matter how they do it! Dax takes the mic to say that obviously, Big Stoke here is a little upset. The fans boo but Dax says relax, give him a minute. Stoke is upset, but Dax is actually rather excited about this partnership. The fans tell FTR to STFU, but Cash shouts, “HE’S TALKING!!” Dax says he likes this partnership of AEW and CMLL! CMLL is the oldest wrestling promotion in the world! Which is funny, because Atlantis Sr. might be the oldest wrestler in the world. But hey, sorry, he’s digressing.
Dax just wants to get to know them. He makes introductions, and he wants to know is if FTR were to wrestle back when Atlantis started in the 1930s, how would they have faired? Dax pulls the usual “Because I think” move, saying FTR would’ve done pretty damn well. Whether it was against Villano, Blue Panther Sr, Santo, FTR would’ve beaten ’em all and made Atlantis their bag boy. Speaking of that, at 62 years old, Atlantis Sr. is still going strong. So Dax’s next question is, at 61 years old, how many Depends does he go through? Father and son have had enough, they start throwing hands! The fans fire up as Senior has Dax while Junior has Cash!
But Cash CLAWS Junior in the eyes, then he attacks Senior! FTR mugs Senior, then Cash goes up! Cole says screw this, and he jumps off commentary to get in there! He fires hands on Dax, then on Cash, and repeat! The fans fire up, but the Don Callis Family rushes out here! Konosuke & Kyle mug Cole, Hechicero joins in, and then FTR stomps away on Atlantis Junior! And on Atlantis Senior! But then Bandido y Templario appear! They DOUBLE SUPERKICK Hechicero! Then they dodge #ProtoShita to BOOSTED SHOTGUN DROPKCIK! TEMPLAROONI! But FTR attack the luchadores! The fans boo as it is chaos, but here comes Brody King!
The fans fire up as the King of Death fires hands on the Don Callis Family and FTR! Bandido TOSSES Cash, Atlantis Senior gets payback on Dax! Bandido helps Templario go up top, then Bandido DIVES! Templario SUPER CROSSBODIES! Dax finds he’s all alone with everybody else! Senior says uno momento, he wants his shot! Dax says bet, and he runs up on Senior! Senior dodges to then SPINEBUSTER! And he rains down fists! Dax scrambles out of there, but Senior still goes after him! Dax runs but can’t get away, Atlantis Senior’s still got that fire! Dax hops the railing, but Senior still wants him! This brawl heads backstage!
Atlantis Junior goes to help his father, and Cole tells the Don Callis Family to just wait and see how things go later tonight! Will the Paragon make sure the family pays for what Callis & Okada did earlier tonight?
Backstage interview with Big Bill & Bryan Keith.
Lexy Nair is with the Redwood & Bad Apple, and says they asked for this time, so what is on their mind? Bill says they promised to crack skulls and stack W’s, and that is what they did to the Gates of Agony. Keith says for just a second in that Street Fight, he didn’t think he was gonna make it. But he appreciates Bill has his back. Bill says he always has BK’s back. But that was only one W. ONE! If there’s another team out there that thinks- Oh, there is a team! JD Drake & Anthony Henry step in! Drake says it’s like they’ve seen a ghost!
Don’t let the fact that the Workhorsemen haven’t been in an AEW ring in over a YEAR lead you to believe that they aren’t two men who are obsessed with success. Fellas, that’s not an option where these two come from. So uh, if Bill & BK wanna have it their way, Drake & Henry are ready to punch in, and knock out! BK says bet! Bill says if they wanna get their skulls cracked, then by all means. CRACK CRACK! Drake says okay, see y’all soon. But will Scrap Metal & The Saint of Augusta chop down what’s left of the Learning Tree?
Mercedes Mone is here!
And just like last time, she’s going to be ringside to watch the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion. But will she like the “spinoff” that’s about to play? Or will she have a hand in changing the ending?
Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Julia Hart w/ Skye Blue!
Toni stops by Mone’s table for one and takes a taste of the mashed potatoes. But that’s when Julia & Skye strike! The fans boo but Mone loves it as Skye rains down fists on Toni! The ref reprimands, drags Skye off Toni, but then Julia attacks! The ref EJECTS Skye and the fans cheer! Julia is furious but the fans cheer on “AUBREY! AUBREY!” The ref tells Julia to back off, Mone is upset that her potatoes are ruined, but Julia says oops, guess the match is over.

Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Lexy Nair is now with the One & Only, and says he has made it abundantly clear that he wants to recruit people to his side to ultimately- Ricochet stops her there and says yes, everyone already knows that Ricochet is searching for the perfect group of individuals to help make his quest for gold a reality. But then in steps Lee Johnson & Blake Christian. Big Shotty tells Ricochet that hey, he and Blake peeped Ricochet being ringside for Lee’s match last week. They know he saw what they can do, and Blake says that maybe, they don’t need something but someone.
Ricochet stops them there, and he says yes, he is searching for the perfect “ultra athletes” to help him navigate through the “unjust waters” of AEW. Honestly, he has been watching them for a long, long time. Recently, a lot of people have been putting Ricochet onto them, showing him their stuff, because they are impressing the right people in the right places. Ricochet says that it is rather embarrassing to see two grown men go out there, week in and week out, playing make-believe Ricochet. And although they were impressive in the ring, there is something they are just missing. AHA~! Ricochet leaves, but will he regret dissing Big Shotty & Vanilla Babyface?

AEW shares footage from after Fyter Fest.
AEW Media found Kris Statlander on her way out, and asked her if she had a minute to talk. Kris grumbled in frustration and asked what they wanted to talk to her about. They wanna talk about Willow Nightingale? Kris has tried to make amends, but Willow says she’s done with Kris, so Kris is done with that. Why not talk about the fact that she is still Kris Statlander! And let’s remember that there is no one else on this roster like Kris Statlander! So why isn’t that good enough!? But then Wheeler Yuta walked in. He wanted her to calm down and asked if she’s alright.
Yuta knows things have been tough since losing Willow, and since losing Best Friends. Things had worked out more or less for her, and things have worked out more or less for Yuta. But he had to make a lot of tough choices to get where he is, so if she ever needs any advice- Kris shrugs Yuta right off, but he says he’ll be here for her. And here’s one for free: Forget about what others think of you, just make your own choices. Kris says yeah, whatever. She pushes past Yuta, but then stares down Marina Shafir. Kris pushes past her, too, but will The Death Riders become a problem for the Galaxy’s Greatest?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee Paquette is now with The CEO, and there is a lot to unpack about what Mone did out there earlier. But what did Mone whisper in Toni’s ear? Mone says she doesn’t kiss and tell. But Toni got what she deserved. And at All In: Texas, Mone gets everything that she wants. Well, there is also another thing, given that Mone put the challenge out there to Zeuxis for the CMLL Women’s World Championship. Yes, that is right! But wait! Zeuxis is here! Mone chuckles and says, “Hola, p*ta.” Zeuxis smiles and tells Mone, “Challenge accepted. B*TCH!” Then she DECKS Mone!! Zeuxis says see you at Grand Slam! Will the Warrior Goddess derail the Money Train in Mexico?
AEW returns and…
Renee Paquette is now outside the medical trainers’ room, hoping for an update on Will Ospreay after he took those spiked Reeboks to the face. But Hangman Page storms up, and he asks how Ospreay’s doing. Renee says she doesn’t know, she- But then The Bucks step in and Matt says he had no idea The Death Riders were gonna do that. Hangman tells The Bucks to tell him in five words or less why he shouldn’t take their heads off! Oh, okay, how about this? They were aiming for Swerve. Y’know, the guy they kept busy for two months so Hangman could have a clear shot at winning The Owen Hart Cup?
Prince Nana pokes his head out from the medical room to hear some of this, but then slips back inside before he’s spotted. Matt tells Hangman that hey, you’re welcome! And don’t forget: All Hangman has to do now is stick the landing. All he has to do now is win the world title and bring it to The Elite. Y’know? The real plan? WHAT real plan!? There is and never has been a “plan” between them! Hangman doesn’t hear from The Bucks in months, never asked for them to do what they did at Dynasty, and sure as s*it didn’t ask them to do anything tonight. Hangman cannot believe he has to tell these two again: Stay out of his business! Stay out of Ospreay’s business!
And for that matter, stay out of Swerve’s business. And if they don’t, if Hangman ever burns down a home again… He’ll make sure they’re trapped in it first. Hangman storms off and Matt says okay, Hangman just made his bed. Nana again sneaks a peak at this, and then he goes to tell Swerve. Did Swerve hear any of that? Swerve says, “Every word.” Then will The Realest finally realize Ospreay was right? Is Hangman not the enemy?

Backstage interview with Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian.
Lexy Nair is with the ROH World Television Champion and his Superbad stepbrother in the Patriarchy. Last week, Christian Cage said something about a surprise Kip had for Nick upon his return from Japan. Is that surprise ready this week? Before Kip can answer, Nick asks where Christian even is tonight. Kip says Christian decided to give Nick some space this week. After all the hard work Nick has put in the last couple of months, he deserves it. Um, okay. Then where is his mom? Christian said he was going to put in some “hard work” with her as well, so- What?! No, that’s besides the point! Tonight is the big surprise!
Tonight, we are here to see Nick’s Best of the Super Juniors highlight reel! The video is cued up, and from his win over THE IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, El Desperado, to the great match with Kevin Knight where he… lost… Well, Nick does like how it looked. Did Kip do all that for him? Yep! Nick says he loves it. Kip says that is what brothers are for! Christian also wanted Nick to know that he really is proud of him. Kip doesn’t know where he’d be without Christian. And we don’t really know where Nick would be without him, either. Kip leaves, and Nick feels like that wasn’t quite a compliment. Will the Prodigy have to take it up with “Father” the next time we see him?

Garcia goes up, reels Konosuke in, and TORNADO SNAP SUPLEXES! But that’s just the start as Garcia rises back up. But Konosuke suplexes now! Garcia fights that, and hits a TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Cover, TWO! Konosuke survives, Archer warns Garcia, but Garcia has the legs. Garcia steps through, but Konosuke rolls him into a cradle! TWO, and both men stand! Konosuke headlocks, Garcia powers up and out, but Alexander sneaks a tag!
Konosuke reverses the whip, then picks Garcia up for the BLUE THUNDER- NO, Garcia hits a headlock takeover! Garcia floats to have the legs, but the ref tries to tell him Konosuke isn’t legal! Garcia still turns Konosuke over for the DRAGONTAMER, but Alexander BOOTS Garcia down! The fans boo but Alexander soaks up the heat. Alexander drags Garcia up, reels him in and tucks the arms, but Garcia BACKDROPS free! Hot tag to Roddy! DROPKICK for Alexander! JUMP KNEE for Archer! Roddy DECKS Hechi for good measure! Alexander runs up, Roddy catches him for an ANGLE SLAM! Konosuke runs in, Roddy dodges to DROPKICK!
The fans fire up more as Roddy keeps moving, and he WRECKS Hechi with a dropkick! Then he BOOTS and ENZIGIRIS Alexander, fireman’s carries and GUTBUSTER DROPS! Then a SICK KICK!! High stack, TWO!! But into the STRONGHOLD!! Archer runs in, but Kyle intercepts him with a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Konosuke runs in, but Cole trips Konosuke, steps through, and has a FIGURE FOUR! Hechi runs in, Garcia intercepts him for a DRAGONTAMER!! QUADRUPLE SUBMISSIONS!! But Archer CLOBBERS Roddy using Kyle! And then he stomps Cole! Garcia jumps on Archer, but Archer SPINEBUSTERS!
The fans rally as Kyle stands and Archer runs up. Kyle DUMPS Archer out, then Roddy joins in! They BLAST Archer off the apron! RPG Vice gets up so Roddy & Kyle BLAST them, too! Kyle goes to the apron, FLYING KNEE takes out Trent, and then Kyle LARIATS Rocky! Roddy calls Kyle in for the high-low! The ref stops Kyle, he’s not legal! Archer grabs Kyle in a SLEEPER! The ref reprimands Archer, but Alexander waistlocks Roddy. Roddy fights free with elbows, but Konosuke sneaks in! ALPHA ELBOW!! Alexander GERMAN SUPLEXES with a bridging cover, DON CALLIS FAMILY WINS!
Winners: Hechicero & The Don Callis Family, by pinfall
The numbers game favors the Don Callis Family, but here’s MORE BREAKING NEWS for Grand Slam: Mexico! After everything else we saw tonight, there will now be a TWELVE MAN TAG! The Don Callis Family will team with FTR against Adam Cole, Daniel Garcia, Brody King, Bandido, Templario and Atlantis Junior! Will the Don Callis Family prove they’re living legends just like Cash & Dax? Or will someone take the #TopGuysOut?
My Thoughts:
A great special for this “Summer Blockbuster,” but… for all the hype they put on it, they didn’t bother booking this as one giant 4 hour show. Instead, it was just like last week’s Fyter Fest: they booked a wild Dynamite followed by a typical Collision. They did keep some throughlines, such as the Hangman-Ospreay-Swerve story, and all this stuff with the Don Callis Family, which were perhaps the strongest parts of the night. Ospreay VS Swerve to open with the planned time limit draw was a good call, especially with The Bucks and Death Riders getting involved, but then having it revealed that The Death Riders captured Hangman in a later segment was a bit weird, maybe even redundant.
Why not have the Death Riders drag Hangman out there while they were about to attack Ospreay and Swerve? They could’ve made Hangman watch as they set Swerve up and then Ospreay “takes the bullet” for Swerve. You could even still have The Opps rush out there to stop it all, giving a better set-up for the Grand Slam 10 Man Tag. And you can even still have Hangman go hunting for Death Riders (not that he found them after that moment), and you still get the promo with Hangman confronting The Bucks and Swerve overhearing it all. That all said, that is a good move, because now Swerve knows Hangman isn’t in cahoots with The Elite, and we’re a step closer to Swerve and Hangman working together.
But speaking of that, I didn’t really like the plot twist of Okada being on Callis’ side with all this. I get that Okada wants to be the Heel in this situation, but couldn’t he be a Heel and oppose Callis at the same time? Though, the sheer shock value of Omega coughing up all that prop blood was wild. As for this “Unified Championship,” someone tell that nerd, TK, that you don’t call it “Winner Takes All” and then claim there will be a unified title. You call it a UNIFICATION match and then do that. “Winner Takes All” would mean that one person is a double champion, defending both belts either together or in double headers.
As far as the belt’s design, the main plate looks great, and TK clearly insists on the picture of a crown being included. The side plates featuring Omega’s One Winged Angel and Okada’s Rainmaker clearly labels this as “The Omega and Okada belt” so what’s even the point of any of this other than to say AEW is punctuating their legendary feud? It’s almost as bad as the overly gigantic “Crown Jewel Championships” the Saudi princes had WWE use. Almost. That said, Omega has to win this Unified title now given how badly Okada beat him up.
The Don Callis Family sure came out on top tonight, though. Kyle VS Bowens was great stuff, great win for Kyle. And then the 8 Man Tag that was the main event of the whole night was also great, with a naturally cheated win by the Callis Family. That confrontation in the middle of Collision with FTR and the Atlantis family was rather wild, and that 12 Man Tag will be great stuff. The Hurt Syndicate of course won their Six Man Tag, but a shame that Komander was legitimately out with injury. The backstage attack shown on socials is a good cover, hopefully it isn’t too serious. And Mistico gets the better of MJF tonight, so chances are, MJF cheats to win in Mexico.
Good promo from Ricochet with Blake & Lee, and I should’ve figured Ricochet’s ego would make him see himself so far above them. Though, to be fair, it is a shame Blake is undefeated in ROH this year, yet jobber to the stars on AEW. I not for the ROH World TV title being in the Patriarchy story with Nick Wayne and Christian Cage, I bet Blake would already be champ. But speaking of, good promo from Nick and Kip to not only plug Nick’s time in NJPW, but to also add a bit more heat to the story. Nick might be able to stomach Christian being so condescending to him, but he’s not about to let Christian hook up with his mom! I suspect we get a Title VS Freedom from The Patriarchy match as part of the blowoff.
Very good “standby match” from Bandido VS Mortos, and I suppose it really was put together to fill time, the ending seemed a little uncertain. Bandido of course wins to stay strong going into both Grand Slam: Mexico, but also into the title story that is brewing with MXM TV. MXM TV VS Conglomeration was also a very good Mixed Six that might’ve also been a “standby” match. But it was a good win for the Conglomeration, and a good segue into Kris Statlander’s promo. Though, maybe it wasn’t timed the best when we saw Kris still watching the Mixed Six. Why not wait to do such a promo tonight? Have Yuta & Marina confront Kris, but also add a bit where Hangman is storming by and the Death Riders run for it? Add intrigue to things where Kris doesn’t tell Hangman where they went!
And great stuff from the Women’s Division tonight. One match in the Dynamite half, two for Collision, and all great stuff. TayJay gets a great win off Megan & Ford, mostly because of Ford being cocky. I would think we build to yet another classic Women’s Tag Team Street Fight, but maybe that concept is overused. Maybe they go a step further and make it a Women’s Tag Cage? Thekla VS Aminata was awesome, a lot more than I expected, but that helped both women here. Thekla is on that debut push, Aminata needs to stay strong while waiting on the Women’s Pure Championship tournament, best of both worlds right here.
Toni VS Julia was really good, what with Skye helping attack beforehand and them playing up that Toni might’ve been unable to continue. I still feel like Toni should’ve been watching while Mone was in a Title Eliminator situation, but I suppose it works since Toni’s gimmick is movies. And it works that Mone’s whole gimmick is not being a fighting champion but a spoiled rich girl. Zeuxis does get her back for calling her out, though, and Mone VS Zeuxis is going to be a great match. I hope for Zeuxis’ sake, she wins next week, as Mone held onto that NJPW Strong Women’s title and still is holding onto the Rev-Pro Women’s title for a long time. Seriously, is Mone going to hold the British title until Forbidden Door: London?
My Score: 9/10
