Double or Nothing is coming.
Cody Rhodes and Lance Archer will fight for the AEW TNT Championship, in one of the most anticipated matches of the year. Then, The Elite and The Inner Circle will finally face off in a “super fight unlike any the world has seen before.” Change wrestling, change the world. But are the Elite destined to do that? And finally, in the main event, The Maniac may have run into the man that could end his reign. Jon Moxley is ready to stare into the face of fear, but is he ready to face The Exalted One?
A limousine rides up to the arena.
The Inner Circle arrives in style! AEW’s James Marvez steps up to interview them but Chris Jericho tells him to “shut yer ass.” This is the Inner Circle’s show! And if what they did to Vanguard 1 was bad, just wait to see what happens tonight. What’s going to happen tonight? It’s a surprise, you nincompoop! The Inner Circle heads inside, planning to end the war with The Elite before Double or Nothing! Will it happen? Or will they have no choice but to face the match of their own design?
Jon Moxley VS Preston Vance w/ Brodie Lee!
The real AEW World Champion wants Mr. Brodie to give the belt back, but he’ll have to go through “Number 10” first! Will 10 feel like a zero after Moxley is done with him?
Before the match, Brodie has a mic to say that he would “like to take just a moment of your time to address the viewers at home.” The crowd doesn’t care but Brodie says the adult is speaking. Brodie tells 10 to take a knee. The henchman does as asked, but Brodie insists he do it right. Number 10 sits up right and Brodie continues. “Now I understand to the viewer at home, there might be a bit of a disconnection,” because he as a powerful, supreme athlete in the prime of his career and at the top of his game cannot relate to the viewers at home. But that is where the viewers are wrong. Do we think he does not sweat/ That he does not put pants on the same as we do? He cannot walk on water, and he is no god. Brodie is a man. Brodie is a man that has come into possession of a very, very special belt.
The difference of the old Dark Order and this Dark Order is that Brodie operates at a higher level. At an elite level. The Dark Order are the lions of AEW, “and results speak for themselves.” Brodie inspires his men and they inspire him. And this Saturday, Brodie must win. Not only to satisfy his own hunger and desire, but to pay back the loyalty and respect of his men. Now for Number 10, Preston Vance, he was always special. Brodie has chosen him, and this is 10’s chance to shine. Number 10 is now a “High Knight” of the Dark Order. Rise, and HURT Moxley for Brodie. Vance does as told and goes to the ring. Brodie and the other henchmen leave before Moxley makes his entrance, but will he have to face the consequences soon enough?
The bell rings and Moxley KNEES Vance right down! Moxley puts him in a corner and CHOPS, then whips corner to corner. Moxley blocks the boot to hit an EXPLODER! Number 10 rolls to a corner but Moxley is after him with clubbing forearms. Moxley drags 10 up to X-PLEX him down! Number 10 goes to a corner and the crowd fires up. Moxley tells Vance he looks like “a reject from Nitro” before stomping away on him! The ref backs Moxley off as Moxley starts to choke 10! Moxley argues with the ref a bit but 10 clobbers him from behind! Number 10 BOOTS Moxley down to the floor then goes out to pursue him. Number 10 whips Moxley hard into railing! Moxley grits his teeth as Number 10 apron back suplexes him! Number 10 drags Moxley off the apron to bump him off it, then put him back in the ring. Moxley is up and he swings on 10, but 10 ripcord cutters and KNEES Moxley down! Cover, ONE!
Number 10 rains down rights over and over as the crowd boos. Number 10 drops elbows, covers, TWO! Moxley gets to a corner but 10 runs in, only to get an elbow! Moxley CHOPS, CHOPS and runs, but into a SPINE BUSTER! Number 10 roars and pledges his allegiance to the Dark Order before fireman’s carrying Moxley. Moxley slips out, kicks and DDTs 10 down! Moxley isn’t done yet, he wants to hurt 10 in return! He drags 10 up, reels him in, and Gotch PILEDRIVERS! Suzuki would be proud, especially since Moxley is still going. Moxley wants to know where Brodie is. Is this Brodie’s favorite little buddy? Moxley gives him PARADIGM SHIFT! Cover, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall
The Exalted One wanted to send a message, but Moxley sent one back! Moxley adds on by bringing chairs into the ring! Moxley grabs a mic as he heads back into the ring. He takes off the Dark Order armbands then puts Vance’s arm inside one of the chairs! Moxley tells him to stop squirming while he talks. “Now I don’t know the strategy behind Mr. Brodie stealing my property.” Message, hostile takeover, sme sort of cult crap, who cares. But in the end, Brodie is punking Moxley out. Moxley isn’t going to go chasing Brodie all around backstage like a geek. Instead, he is going to give Brodie 10 seconds before he breaks 10’s arm. He’s Brodie’s favorite, isn’t he? Is he the special boy? Well the countdown begins.
Brodie speaks via titantron. Brodie says Moxley does not call the shots. Moxley has made his bed, Brodie will put him to sleep in it. If Moxley wanted the belt back, he could’ve just asked. Saturday is about Moxley and Brodie. Brodie means business but Moxley made it personal. We all have to make sacrifices, so for tonight, Brodie is leaving. He, the Beaver Boys and #BigPlatinum have left the building. In that case, “See you Saturday.” CON-CHAIR-TO to the ARM!! Moxley means business, too. But will he get back the belt only to officially lose it to Brodie at Double or Nothing?
MJF w/ Wardlow VS Marko Stunt!
Maxwell Jacob Friedman has a Double or Nothing match with Jungle Boy, but he’ll take on #FunSize first, just to prove a point. But is MJF going to look past Stunt and stumble this soon after his “miraculous” return?
AEW returns as Stunt makes his entrance. Wardlow lurks but the ref keeps his eyes on MJF’s muscular sidekick. The bell rings and the crowd is on Marko’s side as they chant his name. MJF wants everyone to calm down as he talks to Marko. MJF gives Marko a free shot, and Marko pumps himself up. Marko tries to scoop but MJF pokes him in the eyes! MJF then scoop slams Marko down, then boasts on the corner. MJF toys with Marko but Marko throws body shots. They don’t do much, and MJF puts on a bearhug! Marko endures and ear claps! MJF squeezes tighter but Marko ear claps again and again! Marko is free, dodges the clotheslines and back hands to sunset flip! MJF stays up with flailing, and then says up yours. MJF drags Marko up and OVERHEAD Suplexes! He shows off with the kip up but the crowd boos. Marko gets to the corner but MJF struts over to rake the eyes!
MJF snapmares Marko and traps an arm. “Stop hitting yourself!” MJF bringing back schoolyard bully jokes as he makes Marko pick his own nose and EAT IT! The ref reprimands MJF as MJF laughs at his own juvenile sense of humor. MJF drags Marko up but Marko SLAPS him! The crowd is fired up but MJF is pissed! Marko shin kicks him then runs, into a LARIAT! MJF rains down rights, not letting Marko punk him out. MJF chokes Marko on the ropes and taunts Jungle Boy, who isn’t present. The ref backs MJF off and Wardlow uses one hand to choke Marko on the rope! MJF comes back but Wardlow gets away with it all. MJF swings Marko by his hair and tosses him! The crowd boos more but MJF just taunts JB via the cameras. MJF drags Marko up to the top rope and throat chops him! Then he climbs up top and tells commentary that “This is Jungle Boy’s future come Double or Nothing!” But Marko fights back, and rakes MJF’s eyes in return!
Marko adjusts, leaps, DRAGON-RANA! MJF hits buckles and Marko runs corner to corner. Marko ducks the clothesline to dropkick! And dropkick! And then miss. MJF drags Marko up, back suplex but Marko lands on his feet! Marko slips out and slingshots back in to roll and KNEE MJF down! Marko baits MJF into falling out of the ring, and then he builds speed, only to slide into the apron skirt. MJF thinks he has Marko, but Marko ducks down, and MJF hammer fists the apron! Marko baits MJF into steel steps! Marko gets back in the ring, builds speed, and DIVESÂ into a forearm! MJF puts Marko in and drags him up for underhooks. SHOULDER BREAKER, into the Salt of the Earth Fujiwara! Marko taps, MJF wins!
Winner: MJF, by submission
Marko gave MJF more of a fight than he wanted, but MJF demands a mic to speak. “Marko, bubelah. You did great, buddy! We’re all so proud of you.” Marko lasted longer than expected, so MJF figures he’d be nice to give Marko a present. MJF thought one of his ring rats could give Marko a little kiss, but then he remembered: Nobody in the world would ever touch Marko’s lips. Wardlow puts the ring back on MJF’s finger, so MJF gives Marko a different kiss. #KisstheRing! MJF DECKS Marko, but here come Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus! MJF and Wardlow bail out, not wanting this fight tonight. Will Jurassic Express make MJF and his muscle pay for how they treated Marko?
AEW returns to Tony Schiavone in the ring.
Tony is here to preside over a very tense face-to-face between the two living legends who are also the coaches and managers of the AEW TNT Championship finalists! Arn Anderson and Jake The Snake Roberts are here and sit at the far ends of the table. Cody Rhodes’ coach, The Enforcer, sits across from the Murderhawk’s advisor, Jake the Snake. There is no question that these are two of the greatest and two Hall of Famers in pro-wrestling. The Snake says this is almost surreal to be here across from Arn. All those years they crossed paths, but never in the ring against each other. Snake is happy the rest of the “dog and pony show” isn’t here. Arn isn’t usually alone, but he better get used to it. People have dreams and people have nightmares. Those may not be real, but Archer is. Archer has destroyed everything put in front of him. Cody has wormed his way around, and even sacrificed his own brother, just so he wouldn’t have to face Archer.
But now, no more excuses or riddles. Cody must come fact to face with the truth. And the truth is, Lance Archer is one mean SOB who will rip Cody’s heart out. By the way, is this Arn’s weekend pass from the home or what? We haven’t seen him around. He’s looking a bit big. Arn says Jake almost made him a believer. This really is surreal. This is a wish list moment here. A dream match of Arn and Jake. Arn has goosebumps! They’re two guys that if they told someone “a piss ant could pull a freight train,” you’d believe them. Because that’s who they are. They’re “credible.” Even at this distance, Arn can see the evil permeate from The Snake. That used to scare a lot of people. Arn heard it and saw it in the locker room. Then add on the snake in the bag, their nerves would be shot. But Arn realized way back then that the bag was a distraction. The real snake is the one in Jake’s eyes and heart. Jake says he’s been to hell and back! One more trip with Arn wouldn’t be so bad.
Arn wants Jake to say that again. Jake says the six feet between them isn’t enough. Any time, any place! The crowd gets riled up, but Arn says tonight is about decorum. One of the things Arn wants to cover is that “Iron” Mike Tyson is coming out of retirement for one night to present the title. BUT, word is through the grapevine is that Tyson gets free reign. He might go into the crowd, on the ceiling, fly in with a helicopter, whatever he wants. And Arn is honored to share the floor with Tyson. But is Snake going to try and use Damien on Tyson? How is that going to turn out? Jake says whatever he throws at Tyson will take Tyson down. Archer has been promised first shot at Tyson, just for fun. And Jake assures us that Archer can do it. Jake was hoping “that bimbo” Brandi was going to present the belt. He’d love to “bump” into her.
Well another tidbit Arn will share now that the snake is out of the bag-no pun intended-is that Cody looked Arn in the eyes and said, “I don’t want to win the TNT Championship because I can get nice table at a restaurant, I get a pay raise, I get the admiration of the fans.” Cody wants to win because he has to. Cody isn’t just the son of Dusty Rhodes, or the brother of Dustin Rhodes. He is a leader of AEW that has turned the business on its head in a year’s time, and made it the product that it is! That is why Cody has to win! He needs to know his leadership is being recognized! Now Jake is getting nervous, since he threatened Arn, too, “because I’m a vicious prick.” The only reason Arn doesn’t just jump this table is because he has some good news! Did everyone know that Jake is doing DDP Yoga? That’s good, because he’ll need to be real limber when Arn spine busters his ass and shoves his head where the sun don’t shine. Jake has had enough! He tosses the table aside, and then shoves Schiavone!
Referees rush down to keep the peace but the crowd wants to “Let Them Fight!” Arn dares Jake to try something, but The Snake just slithers away. Will Jake and Arn throw hands at the same time that their proteges do? Will Mike Tyson make sure Archer doesn’t get the chance to go after him? And who will be the INAUGURAL TNT Champion when it is all said and done?
AEW announces the rest of the Casino Ladder match field!
Well, almost all the rest. We already knew about Colt Cabana, Darby Allin, Rey Fenix and Orange Cassidy. But now, Kip Sabian, Luchasaurus and SCU’s Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian are in! However, that is only eight out of nine! The ninth and final entrant is still a mystery! Who will try their luck against this stacked deck to become #1 Contender to the AEW World Championship?
AEW has another video message from Darby Allin.
Darby is playing cards with three others. One wears a Rey Fenix cut-out, another has an Orange Cassidy, and the third has a Frankie Kazarian one. At the same time, Darby is climbing a ladder. The fourth player is Colt Cabana, and the fifth is Scorpio Sky. Kip Sabian is also in there, but they all lose to Darby. Darby reaches the top as he goes all in against Luchasaurus. But as Darby burns the Joker, he himself is on fire. Is this Darby’s way of saying that no matter the hand he is dealt, he will be the wild card that wins it all?
AEW hears from PAC!
The Bastard laughs it up on his couch while watching Dynamite. “You probably thought, with the whole world in chaos, that you were safe from Death Triangle. You are not.” Pac has been forced to stay at home and weather the storm once before in his career. He vows to never do that again. Fortunately, Pac no longer treads this path. He tells Orange Cassidy, “you cocky little prick,” that maybe tonight he finally gets over himself. Try, or try not, Fenix is the assassin who will kick The Sloth’s head off to send him to his maker! Consider yourself a marked man.
Orange Cassidy VS Fenix!
As Pac implied, Freshly Squeezed was almost freshly decapitated by Fenix last week, and he wants his payback before going for it all in the Casino Ladder Match! But will he get it with Fenix aiming for his head, not the win?
Speaking of, Fenix tries again! But Cassidy was ready for it and easily dodges the ambush. Csasidy goes to the ring and Fenix has to face him head on for once. Fenix warns Cassidy so Cassidy gets serious by taking off the sunglasses! The bell rings. Cassidy ducks the attacks, and then puts his hands in his pockets. Well, he isn’t 100% serious. Fenix shoves Cassidy then runs in but Cassidy dodges. Cassidy dodges the low blow and Fenix kicks buckles! Cassidy ducks the headbutt and again Fenix only gets buckles. Cassidy blocks the boot, gets a takedown, then catapults! Fenix goes up and up and over, but into a shotgun dropkick! Cassidy kips up as Fenix bails out and the crowd is fired up! Fenix is frustrated as he pushes past the cameraman. Cassidy patiently waits, but does egg Fenix on. Fenix returns to the ring and rushes Cassidy, but Cassidy dodges. Things speed up, both men leap over, but Cassidy arm-drags to a cover, TWO! Ghost pin, ONE, and Cassidy sits Fenix up for a thumbs up. Cassidy ghost pins, TWO!
Things speed up again, and Fenix DOUBLE STOMPS Cassidy down! Fenix dusts himself off and scuffs “dirt” on Cassidy before bringing him up. Fenix goes to bomb but Cassidy fights free! Cassidy rebounds, and SUNSET BOMBS! Cover, TWO! Fenix bails out to the ramp and enziguris Cassidy away! Fenix runs and springboards to LEG DROP! Cover, TWO! Fenix keeps on Cassidy with an armlock and he cranks on the elbow. He traps both arms to put on a chinlock and Cassidy kicks and flails! Fenix CHOPS Cassidy in the shoulder then clamps the chinlock on again. Cassidy endures so AEW goes picture in picture.
Fenix puts Cassidy in a corner and grinds his boot in deep! The ref counts but Cassidy flops out of the ring! Fenix watches Cassidy sputter as the crowd rallies up. Cassidy stands so Fenix goes out to CHOP him! Fenix brings Cassidy around, to knee and CHOP against the post! Cassidy staggers away but Fenix follows. Fenix lines Cassidy up but Cassidy dodges, and Fenix punches post! Cassidy whips but Fenix reverses to knee low! Fenix puts Cassidy in then goes to the ramp again.

Fenix clubs Cassidy then wraps the arm around the ropes! Cassidy screams but the ref counts. Fenix lets up, only to baseball slide Cassidy into the camera! Fenix drags Cassidy back into the ring then asks the crowd to be quiet. Fenix CHOPS Cassidy!
AEW returns to single picture as Fenix argues with the ref. Fenix CHOPS Cassidy but Cassidy CHOPS back! Fenix BOOTS back then hammers away with fists from all sides!

Superbad is trying to give us a preview of the Casino Ladder match! He sets the ladder up, climbs it, and “applauds” Cassidy. The ref is busy telling Kip to climb down, but Fenix LOW BLOWS Cassidy! And rolls him to hit a CUTTER!! Cover, Fenix wins!
Winner: Rey Fenix, by pinfall
Superbad gives Cassidy a thumbs up, then a middle finger. But here come SCU! Kaz and Scorpio give Kip a preview by tipping the ladder. They stop short, then say bye, but then actually dump him down! Fenix gets in Kaz’s face but Kaz shoves him back. Jimmy Havoc rushes the ring to go after Scorpio in return for what they did to Kip! It’s a brawl between SCU and Superbad Squad! Kaz throws Kip out but Havoc throws Scorpio out! Havoc leaps and clobbers Scorpio while Kaz and Kip brawl! Fenix aims and springboard TORNILLOS them all down! But that was a rough landing for Fenix, too, and the ref checks on them all. Wait, Cabana is joining in?! SPRINGBOARD ASAI!! Best Friends hurry to reinforce Cassidy, but the brawling continues as Cabana throws hands on Kip and Havoc! Cassidy gets a boost from Trent and Chuckie, to SUPER SWANTON out!!
Cassidy and Best Friends regroup by the ladder, and give the thumbs up. Will Freshly Squeezed win the #1 contender’s chip when the odds are never in one’s favor?

Backstage interview with Jon Moxley!
Moxley broke Number 10, and now he’s after Brodie Lee. “In sports and business, and life, everything is a reduction to violence eventually.” Arguments over moving cars, arguments over fines, and it only gets worse from there. Moxley wants his belt back, Brodie refuses. Moxley threatens to break someone’s arm, Brodie says he can go ahead. “It only gets worse from here.” Double or Nothing is going to get pretty bad as 280 pounds gets dumped on Brodie’s head. Brodie will go to sleep, having lost the match and having lost everything else. He will just be a guy in a nice suit, surrounded by a bunch of creeps in gimp masks repairing his shattered ego. “It was nice knowing ya,” Mr. Brodie.
AEW presents the Shawn Spears News!
“SSN” reports some breaking news! After a mediocre career spanning multiple decades, the injuries sustained in his match against Lance Archer has forced Dustin Rhodes to finally retire and hang up the boots. Spears, for one, concurs. Congratulations, Cody! This is what you were going for, right/ But in all seriousness, Spears understands the difficult time for Dustin. Retirement is a difficult pill to swallow. But 12 years ago, swallowing pills wasn’t so hard, was it? So sad.
But speaking of sad, the fact Spears has NO Double or Nothing match is a travesty! In AEW, wins matter, and Spears is so close to cracking the top five! Who does Spears have to piss off? Or maybe he needs to go into business for himself. Spears challenges Dustin to a match at Double or Nothing as his farewell! He said it publicly, so now the people will want it, “the brass” will have to book and promote it, problem solved! If anyone is looking for Dustin, he’s probably on display at your nearest museum. Dustin has not announced retirement, so SSN is giving us some fake news. But will Spears make this Dustin’s last match by default? Because yes, AEW has officially booked it!
AEW announces other booked matches!
For Double or Nothing’s Buy In, it will be an AEW Tag Team Championship #1 Contender’s match! Best Friends have been a hot streak, but so have the newly returned Private Party! Which team puts out the other’s flames to go after Kenny Omega & Hangman Page?
Plus, regardless of who IS TNT Champion, that man will need a contender! Therefore, next week’s Dynamite will have a #1 Contender Battle Royal! Who will be the first challenger to the newest champion in AEW?
Sammy Guevara VS BROKEN Matt Hardy!
Before The Inner Circle and The Elite finally go to war in a very different match than previously intended, the Spanish God will finally throw hands with DAMASCUS! Will Sammy show Hardy that this “fake Latino” is a real winner? Or will Hardy EAT then DELETE him?
AEW returns once more as Hardy makes his WONDERFUL~ entrance. The bell rings and Hardy glares at Sammy as they approach. Sammy dodges the haymakers and eggs Hardy on. Sammy then gets around to waistlock, and he slaps Hardy in the head. Hardy backs Sammy into buckles to elbow out and ROCK him with a right. Hardy BITES Sammy’s hands! Hardy headbutts Sammy over and over to the other corner, then whips him corner to corner. Sammy hits buckle then the mat, but Hardy drags him up to throw him out. The crowd cheers as Hardy stalks Sammy by the steel steps. Hardy bumps Sammy off the apron, then the steps, then more steps. Hardy makes sure to hit all the steps before he drags Sammy up again. He scoops and snake eyes Sammy on the railing! Hardy refreshes the ring count before going after Sammy more. He slams the hands off the apron, then pushes him against the post! The ref reprimands Hardy as he makes Sammy open his eyes and see his pain!
Hardy YANKS Sammy into the post and Sammy staggers with a bad shoulder. Hardy refreshes the count again to go after Sammy with forearms. The crowd chants “DELETE!” as Hardy whips Sammy into railing! Sammy and railing go skidding as fans keep chanting. Hardy puts Sammy back in the ring and chants “DELETE!” with the crowd. Sammy stands, Hardy kicks, Twist of Fate but Sammy handstands out of it!! Sammy mule kicks Hardy back! Sammy rains down elbows and fists but the ref backs him off. Hardy staggers up but Sammy powers him to a corner. Sammy fires off in the corner and digs his fingers in. The ref counts but Sammy lets off at 4. Sammy runs corner to corner and rams his shoulder in! Then enziguris! Hardy staggers and Sammy mocks the Hardy V1 before he springboards. But Hardy catches him for an inverted DDT! Cover, TWO!
Hardy drags Sammy back up but Sammy CHOPS! Hardy ROCKS Sammy with a right then reels him in. He lifts to a crucifix, but Sammy huricanranas out of the bomb! Hardy topples into ropes and then out of the ring. Sammy builds speed to FLY and take Hardy down! Both men are down and the ring count begins as AEW goes picture in picture.
Sammy gets up first and whips Hardy into railing! Hardy clutches a shoulder as he gets back up. The crowd rallies for Hardy as Sammy refreshes the count. Sammy runs in to CLOBBER Hardy at the railing! Sammy grinds Hardy into the post in return for earlier, and YANKS him into the post, too! Hardy goes into the ring but Sammy drags him back out. Sammy grinds Hardy into the post again and shouts at him. Sammy knees low then puts Hardy into the ring. Sammy kicks Hardy while he’s down then covers, TWO! Hardy sits up but Sammy grits his teeth. Sammy brings hardy up but Hardy throws hands! Hardy runs but into a dropkick! Sammy kips up and shows off before he covers again. TWO, and now Sammy grows frustrated. Sammy stalks Hardy to a corner and rams shoulders in! Sammy CHOPS Hardy, then CHOPS again! Hardy turns things around to CHOP away on Sammy in return! Hardy whips, Sammy reverses and Hardy hits buckles hard! Cover, TWO!
Sammy keeps his cool but not by much. He chokes Hardy on the ropes! He lets up at 4, then comes back to bring Hardy around for a scoop and slam! Sammy standing moonsaults but FLOPS as AEW returns to single picture. Hardy counter punches Sammy and bumps him off buckles! And again and again and again! The crowd chants “DELETE!” with each one, and Hardy brings Sammy up. Hardy long darts Sammy off buckles, then runs to LARIAT! Sammy stumbles into a SIDE EFFECT! Cover, TWO!

Winner: Matt Hardy, by pinfall
Damascus is VICTORIOUS~! But he is not satisfied with this level of retribution, for he must have VENGEANCE for Vanguard 1! Hardy grabs a chair, brings it to Sammy in the ring, but The Inner Circle is on the titantron! They have Kenny Omega up against the goal post in TIAA Bank Field! Jericho says they destroyed Vanguard, and now they’ll destroy Omega! Jericho swings his bat into Omega’s ribs! But wait! The Young bucks are back! And then LEAP Onto Proud ‘n’ Powerful from the stands! Hager goes after them but he gets SUPERKICKS! Nick Jackson uses a chair on Jericho, then on Santana! And Ortiz! And Hager! Matt clubs on Hager while Nick blocks the bat attack with a chair shot! Hardy arrives and the brawl grows! They fight onto the football field with chairs and bats! But this is 4v3 and the Inner Circle starts getting the advantage!
The Bucks rally back, but who is that in the distance? It’s HANGMAN! And he LARIATS Hager! And Jericho! Hangman Page evens the odds as he beats down Jericho! He throws Jericho into the goal post! Omega recovers, too, and now The Elite has the advantage! The Inner Circle retreats and this will have to wait for Double or Nothing! But even then, Hangman wanders off on his own, not ready to truly be back in the fold. Will Saturday’s Stadium Stampede finally settle things one way or another?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home for AEW! I was pleasantly surprised the world title segment opened the night. Obviously Moxley was going to beat Preston Vance, aka Number 10, but I didn’t think Brodie would sacrifice his new “High Knight” so quickly. Moxley VS Brodie is going to be a really good match, and I’m still thinking Moxley wins. MJF of course beats Marko Stunt tonight because I’m thinking Jungle Boy finds a way to win at Double or Nothing. Luchasaurus being in the Casino Ladder match, I really hope the mystery ninth entry is Wardlow so we can finally get some of that. At the same time, a ladder match being No Disqualification, Wardlow could just attack because he wants to, and that still leaves the mystery spot to someone even more shocking. The segment with Jake the Snake and Arn Anderson was great stuff! Those two can still burn it up on the mic, and I really hope we do get to see them throw down on the outside during the TNT Championship match. Mike Tyson being around, I hope he gets in the mix, too, and then that can go any number of ways.
Darby and Pac gave us great promos again. But at the same time, Pac’s almost gave away that Fenix was going after Cassidy again. Fenix VS Cassidy was a really good match, and the tie-in back to the ladder match was really good. I did not expect Cabana to do an Asai, and I really thought one of those railing crashes was bad. But if Cassidy stands tall now, then that has to mean he isn’t winning. If anything, the mystery man should be someone a big enough name to win and become a challenger to Moxley for the stretch on the way to All In/All Out. Also, already announcing the TNT Championship #1 Contender’s Battle Royal, I feel like a big Face from the ladder match wins that as redemption. Granted, the first-ever TNT Champion isn’t going to lose right away, especially if it’s Archer. But Archer in a program against Best Friends via Cassidy, or against Scorpio after all of Scorpio’s great vignettes, that would all be great TV through the Summer.
The women’s tag match was really good, but I am worried Britt got hurt. I wouldn’t be surprised if her match with Kris has to be changed or canceled, but at the same time I hope that’s not the case. The Buy-In tag match of Best Friends and Private Party sounds great, but I could see that being turned into a main card match if Britt VS Kris has to reschedule. Sammy VS Hardy was a great main event, and Hardy partially avenges Vanguard 1 with his victory. The giant brawl at the end might give away a lot about what happens at Double or Nothing. The Bucks and Hangman made great returns, and we got a great preview of the Stadium Stampede, but I think The Elite standing tall means they’re losing. Not that AEW always follows similar math to the WWE or other promotions, but it’d be almost too much if The Elite had their cake and ate it, too. Maybe the dysfunction is still strong between Hangman and the Bucks and that costs them in the end. At a certain point, Omega and Hangman have to feel that tension, too, and I think that costs them their tag titles once they have new contenders.
My Score: 9.2/10

Everything you’ve worked for for the last five years in AEW, I’m gonna give you a chance right now. Hey ref, you work for me, get your ass in the ring. We’re going to put the Trios Championships on the line again, right now! Ring the bell!” The fans boo but apparently Moxley has the power to do this. Can Uno, Reynolds & Silver turn the tides to take the power back?
AEW World Trios Championships: Blackpool Combat Club VS The Dark Order!
The bell rings, Silver stands, but Claudio UPERCUTS! Claudio fires fists on Silver, the ref counts but he also has to reprimands Marina for getting too close to Uno and Reynolds.

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but also Beast Mortos. They wanted to talk with him, but are mostly feeding him fried chicken… Roddy says, “BEEEAST! Thanks for joining us.” Bennett gives Mortos more meat to eat, and Roddy says they really need to talk. What is going on with Mortos? Something seems off. Mortos growls but Bennett says no, he’s just confused. Mortos taking out Hologram like that? Not cool. Taven can’t believe LFI got Mortos to wear a polo shirt! Mortos never even wore a shirt when hanging out with The Kingdom. Not cool! And what is Mortos doing fisting (with) two other dudes? Really not cool.
But the most disappointing thing of all, is that this is all happening without The Kingdom! Roddy says they’re not mad, just disappointed. The Kingdom leaves but did Mortos even care what they said while chowing down on meat? If they keep trying to get Mortos back, will LFI make The Kingdom one of their targets?
AEW Women’s World Championship Title Eliminator: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
While there were some legitimate complaints made by the AEW Women’s World Champion, she doesn’t really help herself when she looks down on the rest of the roster. Will The Glamour continue to grow her ego here tonight? Or will Anna prove she’s the real Star of the Show?

Mariah ROCKS Anna, reels her in, but Anna cradle counters! TWO!! Mariah runs up, Anna rolls her up, TWO!! Mariah escapes again, and she wrenches an arm for a SITOUT ELBOW BREAKER!

Mariah drags Anna up, whips her to ropes, but Anna slips around to wrench. Mariah stops the hook kick to wrench and ARMBAR DDT! Cover, TWO! Anna stays in this and Mariah grows frustrated. Mariah drags Anna into a cording hold, then gives Anna a kiss on the cheek!

Anna wobbles, Mariah reels her in! Fireman’s carry, but Anna slips free! MOUSE TRAP! ANNA WINS!!
Winner: Anna Jay, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW Women’s World Champion)
Mariah is speechless! She thought Anna was unworthy, and yet that arrogance is why Anna won! And Tony Khan calls in to say we don’t have to wait long! Two weeks from now, Collision in Philadelphia, Mariah May VS Anna Jay, with the title on the line! Will Mariah avenge herself in the rematch? Or will there truly be a new Star of the Show?
My Thoughts:
A great Battle of the Belts, especially with the events of Collision spilling over. BCC beating down Top Flight, fighting Dark Order, and then having another match was all great stuff to really get heat on them. And speaking of the Collision crossover, great bit with Garcia & Private Party rushing out there, and then Cassidy eventually going out there once BCC was on the retreat. As we saw for Collision, the other Faces are expecting Cassidy to step up but he is reluctant to, given his history with the various members of BCC. At some point, The Conglomeration members might also think Cassidy should step up, and he’ll be compelled to fight.
Speaking of Conglomeration, great match from Okada VS O’Reilly, and I do appreciate them pushing this close to the time limit. Great win for Okada, and his card is wide open now, ready to face just about anyone. LFI had a very good promo to follow up what they did on Collision, but also to show Hologram is not out of the woods with them. Hologram might even be the third man alongside FTR to fight the full LFI. Mortos and Undisputed Kingdom also had a great promo together, very funny stuff. That’s also a Six Man Tag we could see, and just about any trio could come out of this to challenge BCC next.
Really good first showing for the #MurderMachines, Archer & Cage, but that combo Blackout Powerbomb needs some work to smooth out the wrinkles. I feel like they’ll be stepping to Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara for the ROH World Tag Team Championships first, given The Bucks are Heels. And great main event from Mariah VS Anna. I am very pleased to see they had Anna win here. It works for Mariah’s character as her arrogance cost her, and now we’ll get an even better title match in a couple weeks. I don’t see Anna winning that one, though, because again, we need to see Mina Shirakawa work her way to the title so she and Mariah can fight it out.
My Score: 8.7/10

Jon Moxley speaks.
“Regarding the AEW World Championship, nothing has changed. Nothing is different. Nothing changed last Saturday night, nothing has changed since the moment I arrived in AEW. Nobody ‘owns’ that belt, it doesn’t belong to anybody. It’s not for Bryan Danielson or anybody else. It’s for the position that only man has sat in that chair. That is me. Somebody spent a lot of money on that belt and it’s really supposed to mean something. It’s just gold and leather, but when I look at it, it is the symbol of everything I hate in this sport. It’s the symbol of everything I’ve been fighting against for years. Everything that AEW was not supposed to be.
“If nobody else is going to say it, I’ll say it. Nothing comes for free in this world. But tonight, we give this Top Flight a gift. A shot at the World Trios Championships, won’t that be so great? They think they’re gonna hit a button, ride up an elevator to the top of this sport, that’s not how this works. There is no elevator. You are standing at the foot of a mountain, and the mountain looks like this.” Moxley points to Pac, Claudio and Yuta in turn. “We will win this war, cuz our cause is just, and our power is pure, and our enemies are weak in spirit. It’s a big night for you, Top Flight, but it is not your coronation. Tonight is a public execution.”
The Maniac paces, and the warning has been issued. Will Action, Darius & Dante still go through with the match?
Ricochet VS AR Fox!
The One & Only wants everyone to understand that to be The Best in the World, you don’t say it, you show it! So then will Ricochet show everyone in AEW and around the world that he IS the best? Or will he just be a guest star on the Whole Fox’n Show?

That match was definitely #OuttaThisWorld, and Ricochet comes out on top! Ricochet grabs a mic to say, “Stockton, what’s good?” Ricochet wants to say that he is here in AEW because this is where the BESTÂ WRESTLE! The fans cheer that! Ricochet says he has yet to be pinned or submitted in this ring. And that’s funny, because there’s someone who keeps putting their nose in his business. The fans should know who. Konosuke Takeshita, it doesn’t matter where you go. You may be champion, but you can go to Canada, Mexico, Japan, or somewhere in the US. Wherever Takeshita goes, Ricochet will be waiting to kick his ass!
Ricochet says it doesn’t matter who has his back, from Don Callis to Kyle Fletcher, because Ricochet will knock down opponent after opponent until he gets Takeshita 1v1 in this ring to become the NEW International Champion! The fans rally behind Ricochet, and Ricochet knows they know. They know that Ricochet isn’t from this planet, he is Outta This World! The fans fire up, but when and where will The One & Only take on The Alpha?
Daniel Garcia & Private Party speak.
Red Death says Moxley and his crew wanna come in and take over AEW. Then they’ve got The Young Bucks & Jack Perry just sitting back, letting it happen. They act like it’s all okay. It’s not. And the thing is, The Elite isn’t willing to handle the responsibility it takes to truly handle those championships. But good news! He and Private Party will relieve them of their duties. Garcia says Zay to talk to ’em. Kassidy says the word isn’t complicit, it is complacent. The Bucks have become complacent cowards! Private Party will not sit back and watch BCC take over AEW. AEW changed Kassidy’s life!
Zay would rather die fighting than watch AEW go down in flames. And if Private Party has to lead by example by beating The Elite’s asses and become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, then so be it! Marq Quen says there you have it. He can’t paint a better picture. And before they beat The Elite’s asses on Dynamite, there’s business to handle tonight. Stockton, the mission continues, let’s get it! Garcia, Quen & Zay are ready, but will the Premier Athletes stand in their way?
Kris Statlander VS Harley Cameron!
The Galaxy’s Greatest is now #BornAgainKristen, and she wants to return to what made her great in the first place. But will she keep her comeback going? Or will this wacky Aussie show one of her many talents is winning?
The bell rings, Kris and Harley circle, and then they step up. Harley calls for a knuckle lock, Kris accepts, and then Harley pokes Kris in the eyes! But Kris denies Sole Food!

That’s not the end, she scoops and tucks Harley, STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Kris wins but she’s not done as she grabs the mic. “One thing about me is that I am never afraid to test myself and prove that I am THE toughest and THE strongest here in AEW.” The fans cheer that! Kris says one person has been a real pain in the ass. So Kamille, Kris is calling you out! Time Kamille finally met her match! And as for Mercedes Mone, Kris will make sure you have a front row seat. The Galaxy’s Greatest wants to take on The Brickhouse, but will she make it through that obstacle to then get at The CEO’s TBS Championship?
Six Man Tag: Daniel Garcia & Private Party VS The Premier Athletes!
We just heard from Red Death and friends and they are in a fighting mood. But of course we have to hear from “Smart” Mark Sterling… “Folks, the Premier Athletes have decided to take care of these three punk kids for all the disrespect that they’ve been showing our great EVPs, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson. And of course we’re doing this for an opportunity at what I do best, and that’s climb the corporate ladder!” Now the people here in Stockton are surely just smart enough to play along. When he says, “Athletes!” you say, “Rule!” Nothing else! Hands in. Ohhh~…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling isn’t that smart is he?
The trios sort out, Tony Nese starts against Isiah Kassidy, and they circle. They feel things out, but then Ariya Daivari gets in to CLOBBER Zay! The fans boo as Nese & Daivari stomp Zay. They bump him off buckles, Nese tags Daivari and they mug Zay. The ref counts, The Premier Athletes stop, and Daivari tags Nese back in. They stand Zay up for more mugging! The fans boo, the ref reprimands and counts, but Nese stops at 4. Nese then clamps onto Zay, brings him around, and whips him to the corner. Zay uses that to triangle jump STUNNER Woods! Nese waistlocks, Zay wrenches to knuckle lock and CHOP!
Daivari runs in, Zay dodges, then goes up and up to FLYING ARM-DRAG RANA COMBO! Zay runs up, Nese headlocks, but Quen tags in. Private Party play leapfrog to then DROPKICK! Daivari returns, atomic drop and DROPKICK! Woods runs up, they block his boot to KICK and NECKBREAKER! DOUBLE STMOPS added, and the fans fire up! Sterling says don’t touch him, he’ll sue! Quen leaves Sterling alone to tag Zay. Private Party double whip Nese, Quen sets up and Zay runs in, PARTY IN MOTION! They switch, Quen gives us AFTERPARTY IN MOTION! Zay paces, drags Nese up, then scoops to SLAM!
Zay goes to the corner, climbs up, and the fans rally up. But wait, Stokely Hathaway is here? Zay says stay back, but Nese trips him up! Nese kicks Zay out, distracts the ref, and The Premier Athletes beat Zay down! Sterling even gets a cheap shot in! The fans boo, Quen & Garcia protest, but the ref has to stop them from getting at Nese. Nese taunts them while Collision goes picture in picture.
Nese fetches Zay into the ring, drags him to the Premier Athlete corner, then tags Woods. Woods fires big hands on Zay, then brings Zay around to bump off buckles. Woods stands on Zay, drags him up, and CLUBS him on the back! Zay sputters, Woods distracts the ref, and Sterling CHOKES Zay on ropes! Quen & Garcia are helpless to help Zay, and Woods drags Zay back up. Woods ROCKS Zay, Zay hits back! They fire forearms back and forth until Woods knees low! The fans rally for Zay but Woods CLUBS him back down! Woods stands on Zay at the ropes! The fans taunt Sterling but Woods brings Zay back up.
Woods whips Zay hard into a corner! Zay flops down, Garcia coaches him up, but Woods steps to Garcia. Woods whips Zay into the corner again, and hard, while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns, Woods fireman’s carries Zay for an F- NO, Zay lands out! Zay blocks Woods’ kick, then steps over, SPINNING ENZIGIRI! The fans are thunderous as Zay and Woods crawl!

Woods runs up, Garcia gets around, but Woods elbows free!

Woods reels Garcia in, suplexes, but Garcia slips out to kick and SWINGING NECKBRAEKER! Cover, TWO! Woods survives, Stokely is still watching from the ramp, and the fans rally up. Garcia steps through, SHARP- NO, Daivari CLOBBERS Garcia! The fans boo, Daivari soaks up heat, but Quen SPRINGBOARD MISSILIE DROPKICKS! Quen kips up but Nese throat chops! Nese TOSSES Quen out, Zay runs up! Zay fires off forearms and CHOPS! Nese ROCKS Zay back!

The fans rally up, Woods staggers over to Garcia. Garcia kicks low, but Sterling gets on the apron! The fans boo, but Woods rolls Garcia up! TWO!! Garcia is free, he dodges Woods then SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up again as Garcia tags Zay. Zay tags Quen, then Zay puts Woods up top. Quen runs in, for some GIN & JUICE!! Cover, Garcia & Private Party win!
Winners: Daniel Garcia & Private Party, by pinfall
Stokely is NOT happy, because this proves Private Party doesn’t need him! They did need this big win, though, and now they’re rolling towards Dynamite! Will these three earn some SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS at The Elite’s championships?
Jake “The Snake” Roberts speaks.
“What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. When Jake Roberts tells you something, you know you can take it to heart. Trust me when It ell you, you cannot outrun the bull. Outrunners, you can run but you cannot hide. Rules and bones were meant to be broken. That’s the reason they made them. Trust me. We’re just here to tear the hell outta everything. That’s what you gotta think about when you step into the ring with us.” When you mess with the bull, you get the horns, so will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd be gored through by La Faccion Ingobernable?
Orange Cassidy VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
Mark Briscoe is facing Chris Jericho in a Ladder War on Dynamite, and Kyle O’Reilly is facing Kazuchika Okada later tonight on Battle of the Belts. Will Freshly Squeezed earn himself a golden opportunity? Wait, Jacked Jameson tells all the “fat morons and skinny idiots” to shut up. He is the Shredded Savage, and these monsters are Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder! But hold up. What he sees in the ring is a member of The Conglomeration, a team featured on every show this company has. Meanwhile, Iron Savages must have been renamed The Melatonin Savages, because they keep getting slept on!
So tonight, the flavor of the Savage Sauce is going to be Orange Crush, because Bronson is gonna crush Orange! They are sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the Low T meat-riders to #TIDDYCITY! Cassidy just sighs, and Jameson keeps talking trash that Bronson’s gonna kill ’em! The bell does ring, Cassidy dodges Bronson, and hits an ORANGE PUNCH on Jameson! Then he dodges Bronson, comes back, ORANGE PUNCH! Bronson staggers around, into BEACH BREAK! Cover, Cassidy wins!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
All that trash talk and what’d it get Jameson? Bronson got beat like he wasn’t even there! Cassidy has win number 175, if you can believe it. Will he finally make it to that world championship level before he hits 200?
Jamie Hayter VS Brooke Havok!
An Open Challenge was put out last night on Rampage, though it was directed mostly at Mrs. Superbad, Penelope Ford. Surprise, surprise, Penelope chose not to answer it. Instead, Brooke is looking to wreak havoc in Stockton, will she bring down a former AEW Women’s World Champion? Or will she learn that Hayter Hits Hard?
The bell rings, the fans rally up, and the two fist bump to show there’s respect. they tie up, Hayter waistlocks and SLAMS Havok. Havok fights up, fires elbows, then runs, but gets run over! Hayter dusts herself off, keeps moving, but Havok drops. Hayter avoids the dropkick, then shrugs. The fans fire up, and Hayter stomps Havok right on the butt. Hayter bumps Havok off buckles, then runs her corner to corner to do it again. Hayter stomps a mudhole in, but lets off to soak up Stockton’s love. Hayter drags Havok up, ROCKS her again and again, then stomps her. Hayter stops as the ref counts, then whips. Hayter BOOTS Havok down!
The fans fire up while Hayter paces. Hayter drags Havok up, reels her in, and suplexes, but Havok slips free! Havok shoves, dodges, and dropkicks a leg out! Havok aims to SUPERKICK! Hayter wobbles, Havok rolls back to go up, but Hayter uses that to lift! SWINGING BACKBREAKER!! And a rough one! Havok writhes but she’s still in this somehow. Hayter hauls Havok up, HAYTERADE!! Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
It was probably over with that Haytbreaker on overdrive, but Hayter punctuates the victory. Wait, Penelope is on the tron. “Oh, hey, Jamie, are you really confused why I attacked you? I’ll tell you why. Because unlike you, most of us have to work for our opportunities. Do you even know who my partner was in my last TV match? You! And you wanna talk about backstabbing b*tches? Well you’re the backstabbing b*tch! I was out for two years, do you know what that does to someone’s mind? And not once did you even check in on me. Meanwhile, you were gone for a year and you come back to a damn parade at Wembley Stadium.”
Penelope says too many have forgotten who she is, especially Hayter. But Penelope is back, and she’ll make sure what two years of pain and anger really looks like. Penelope is here to take everting that Hayter cares about. And she won’t let anyone forget who Penelope Ford is again. Hayter says okay, fine! But will Hayter make sure Penelope regrets calling her out?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Private Party.
Lexy Nair is with the winning side tonight and says that was a phenomenal win. Say that again, say that again! What a PHENOMENAL win! Yes, that’s good! Wait, Cassidy steps in. Garcia says he’s been hoping to talk with him. Cassidy sees what it is like out there, yeah? It isn’t about being a hero, it isn’t about being tough guys. It is about holding each other accountable. They are coming to Cassidy because he’s been there before, he beat all these guys before, and it’s time to step up. Cassidy says yeah, he’s been there before. And every time he steps into the ring with one of those guys, it changes him.
Cassidy says he is no leader. He’s just not that guy. Freshly Squeezed heads out, Garcia is disappointed. But will things change when push comes to shove?
Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Atlantis Jr!
The last time these two met, it was June of this year when The Protostar defended the ROH World Television Championship against the CMLL second generation star. Atlantis won it then, but then he lost it recently to Brian Cage. This rematch is therefore not about gold but about pride. Will The Aussie Arrow strike Atlantis down this time? Or will history repeat itself from the CMLL anniversary show?
Kyle throws his jacket at Atlantis to then CLBOBER him! The bell rings and Kyle rains down furious fists from all side! The fans boo but this is the attitude change from siding with Callis over Ospreay. Kyle paces around, drags Atlantis up, but Atlantis fires back forearms! The fans cheer but Kyle knees low. Kyle TOSSES Atlantis out, then goes out to throw him into railing! The fans boo while Atlantis flops over, but Kyle just soaks it all up. Kyle drags Atlantis up again, brings him around, and whips him into more railing! The fans continue to boo but Kyle flexes on ’em. Kyle refreshes the count, then watches Atlantis.
Kyle takes aim and runs in, but Atlantis scoops to a BACKBREAKER! Atlantis puts Kyle in while fans fire up. Atlantis climbs to CROSSBODY! Atlantis bounces off, keeps moving, and he tilt-o-whirl RANAS Kyle! Kyle stagger sup, into a wrench and CUTTER! The fans fire up while Kyle bails out. Atlantis runs to FLY! Down goes Kyle and the fans fire up! Atlantis high-fives the front row, then he goes back for Kyle. The fans cheer as Atlantis waves a fan’s Mexican flag. Atlantis puts Kyle in, but Kyle comes back to CALF KICK! Atlantis falls, Kyle takes aim, and he PENALTY KICKS Atlantis down! Kyle flexes, fans boo, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Kyle soaks up more heat, then takes his time walking down the steps. Kyle stares down the fans as he goes, then claims he can’t hear them. Kyle refreshes the count, he’s taking a little too long toying with Atlantis. But Kyle stands Atlantis up, pushes him against the railing, and CHOKES him in front of the fans! The ref says stop but Kyle CLUBS Atlantis! Kyle says he stopped so chill. Kyle drags Atlantis up to put him in, and again pretends he can’t hear the fans. Kyle goes back into the ring, taunts the fans, then gets up in one guy’s face. The guy chants right at him, and Kyle feints a punch. Kyle then says “SUCK IT!” and goes back to Atlantis.
Kyle stomps Atlantis, taunts the fans, then stands Atlantis up. Atlantis CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOSP again! Kyle knees low in return! Kyle whips, Atlantis reverses, then Atlantis runs up to MONKEY FLIP! Kyle flounders to the other corner, and Atlantis runs in, but into an ELBOW! Kyle seethes while Atlantis sputters. Kyle dusts himself off, stands back up, and he runs up to stomp Atlantis down! Kyle soaks up more heat while Collision returns to single picture. Kyle taunts Atlantis, drags him up, and RIPS at the mask! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Kyle still opens up the eye hole.
Atlantis gets pissed, and he CHOPS! CHOPS! But Kyle kicks low! Kyle runs, into a POP-UP PUNT! SUPERKICK! And then a LARIAT that sends Kyle up and out! The fans are thunderous, Atlantis builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and Kyle is sent into railing! Kyle grits his teeth while he drops to his knees, but the fans rally for “LUCHA! LUCHA!” Atlantis puts Kyle in, goes up the corner, and he MISSILE DROPKICKS! Atlantis hurries to cover, TWO! Atlantis is frustrated, but he goes to a corner. Atlantis runs corner to corner, goes up again, but no monkey flip this time! Kyle runs in, but into the torture rack!
Kyle slips free, shoves, and SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Atlantis writhes but Kyle grins. The fans boo but Kyle stalks Atlantis. Kyle drags Atlantis up to give stiff Kawada Kicks! That’s a shot at Ospreay there, then he brings Atlantis up. Kyle grins as he underhooks the arms, and Callis says do it! Break Atlantis! But Atlantis fights free! Wrench, hammerlock, half nelson, takedown! TWO!! Kyle escapes that Atlantis Cradle, then puts Atlantis on the apron. But Atlantis blocks a haymaker, RAMS in, but Kyle uses that to DRAPING DDT! Kyle strikes like a Viper but he isn’t done! Kyle joins Atlantis on the apron, to APRON BRAINBUSTER!!
The fans lose their minds, and Kyle pushes Atlantis in to haul him up! Another suplex, another BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, TWO?!? Kyle is shocked and the fans are electric! Kyle argues with the ref and even Callis can’t believe it! Kyle seethes, scoops, but Atlantis fights to turn things around! Atlantis marches around, but Kyle turns things back around! But Atlantis turns it back around! Kyle swings to roll Atlantis, and then deadlift suplex, but Atlantis slips free! Atlantis ROCKS Kyle! Kyle ROCKS Atlantis! Repeat! Atlantis runs, goes up, rebound and DESTROYER!! Atlantis hurries up top and the fans are thunderous again! FROG SPLASH!!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall
The Protostar has unlocked a whole new level of aggression, and Callis joins him in the ring, mic in hand. Callis says, “Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention? Kyle Fletcher has something to day.” Kyle takes the mic to say, “I am ready to talk. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t waste my breath on you idiots anyway. I mean I am ready to talk this Wednesday, and you will listen. Especially you, Will!” Kyle claims he will finally tell us why, will anyone like what he says?

Olumide sees he is alone, and says fine then! He swings, Buddy stops him, but Olumide still gets shots in! Brody TOSSES him to a corner! Olumide boots Buddy away, boots Brody, but Buddy GAMANGIRIS! Brody goes up after Olumide, and the fans rally up! SUPER DUPER PLEX! Malakai adds DIVING DOUBLE STOMPS! Malakai then goes up and out to QUEBRADA onto Chris! The fans fire up, Buddy steps in, but Zo runs up, only to take the METEORA! Brody SENTONS Olumide! Buddy puts Zo in a corner, Brody goes to the corner, and CERBERUS hits Zo!! Buddy covers, House of Black wins!
Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall
And there is the violent reminder! Will nothing stop these three from taking over AEW once again?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Lexy is with La Mera Mera and says she hasn’t been in AEW since August. She got hurt, then showed up in England. When will she come back? Rosa says unfortunately, she suffered a concussion, but she has been cleared. While out of action, she went home to Mexico for International Girls’ Day, then she went to London this past weekend to win a championship. Then the Mexican Embassy honored her and- Harley says this is an injustice! NO justice! It is HER time! Hey, she is having a moment! This has been unruly and unfair and- Rosa says this is unfair! Then she DECKS Harley! Harley says Rosa will be the next to feel her wrath!
Harley writhes, but when she gets back up, will she and Rosa have quite the Collision in the ring?
The Outrunners VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have risen to new heights, in part thanks to working out with FTR. But will the Youngest Men Alive keep rising up the ranks? Or will El Toro Blanco y The Beast Mortos stampede right through them towards the top spot in AEW?
The teams sort out, Truth starts against Mortos and the fans rally up. The two circle, tie up, and Mortos powers Truth to a corner. The ref counts, Mortos lets off slowly, to then SMACK Truth! Truth gets heated and the fans fire up, and the two circle. Truth dares Mortos to bring it! Mortos and Truth each rev up, run up, and Mortos CLOBBERS Truth! The fans are torn as Truth stands back up. Truth says he’s got this! They rev up again, run, and Truth hurdles! Then he drops down to DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Truth runs in, but Mortos picks him up! Truth hits FLYING HEADSCISSORS! And another FLYING NHEADSCISSORS!
Truth wrenches Mortos, tags Turbo, and Turbo takes the handoff to wrench. But Mortos HEADBUTTS! Rush tags in, runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Turbo hurdles! Turbo runs, Rush follows, but Turbo ROCKS him! Rush ROCKS Turbo! They go forearm for forearm and the fans fire up! Rush CHOPS! Turbo CHOPS! Repeat! The fans “WOO~!” as the CHOPS keep going! Both men roar, Rush shoves to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Rush runs, but into an ELBOW! Turbo flexes, tags Truth, then The Outrunners double whip. They DOUBLE ELBOW Rush down! The fans fire up for the spin ‘n’ flex, but Dralistico gets on the apron.
The ref reprimands Dralistico, Truth runs up, but Mortos CLOBBERS him! Rush BLASTS Turbo, then LFI mugs Truth in their corner. Rush CHOPS and Truth sputters. Mortos tags back in, but Truth CHOSP back! Mortos keeps Truth from Turbo, DECKS him, then hauls him up. Mortos whips, ELBOWS, then NECK TWISTS! Cover, TWO! Truth survives and the fans rally up. Mortos drags Truth up, tags Rush, and LFI mugs Truth again while Collision goes picture in picture.
Rush fires more hands, then he scuffs Truth. Truth rolls to the apron but Rush drags him back in. Rush clamps on a chinlock and squeezes tight. Truth endures, fights up, but Rush wrangles him back down. Rush leans on the hold, fishhooks Truth to make him smile, but lets go as the ref reprimands. Rush stalks Truth to the ropes, CHOKES him, but steps away as the ref counts. So Dralistico CHOKES Truth instead! Rush drags Truth up, and SHOTGUNS him to a corner! Rush storms up to ROCK Truth again! Rush drags Truth up, wrenches and KICKS him, then snapmares with some force. Rush has the arms for a motorcycle stretch!
Truth endures, Rush tags Mortos, and LFI double whip to DOUBLE LARIAT! Mortos high stacks, TWO! Truth survives, goes to a corner, but Mortos storms up. Truth fires hands, Mortos SMACKS him back down! Mortos has a leg, to DDT the foot! Truth crawls, Mortos has his leg again, HALF CRAB as Collision goes to break!
Collision returns as Rush runs up to fake the dropkick, and he BOOTS Truth! Rush rolls back and tranquilo! The fans are torn but Rush then taunts Turbo. The fans fire up for Turbo, but Rush goes back to Truth. Truth runs up, into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Rush drags Truth over, DOUBLE STOMPS, then tags Mortos. Mortos goes up, to FLOATING BULL SENTON! Cover, TWO! Mortos drags Truth up, whips him back in, but Truth BOOTS back! Truth ROCKS Rush, ELBOWS Mortos, repeat! Mortos CLUBS Truth out of the ring! Dralistico runs up, but Truth dodges! Dralistico’s chop hits post
Rush grabs Truth’s legs, but Truth BOOTS him away! Truth hurdles over Mortos, but Mortos grabs the waistband! Mortos whips, Truth rolls off Mortos’ back! Hot tag to Turbo! The fans are thunderous, Rush tags in, but Turbo rallies on LFI! Haymaker after haymaker, and then scoop SLAM after scoop SLAM! Turbo scoops Rush to SLAM again! And he scoops Mortos to SLAM again! Turbo flexes, the fans fire up, and Truth steps in! Turbo scoops Truth to SLAM him onto Mortos! And then scoops to SLAM him onto Rush! The fans fire up and The Outrunners wind up… MEGA POWERS HANDSHAKE! Then DOUBLE ELBOW DROP!
The Outrunners wait on Rush, scoop and run, but Dralistico tripos Truth! The ref missed it, Rush slips free to DECK Turbo! Mortos PLANCHAS onto Truth! But Turbo POWERSLAMS Rush! Wait, Dralistico just tosses the bright green cables! The ref asks what the heck, but Dralistico gets in the ring! Turbo DECKS Dralistico! Turbo fires up, the fans are with him, and he storms up on Rush. Turbo brings Rush up, suplexes, but Dralistico trips him! Rush covers, LFI wins!
Winners: La Faccion Ingobernable
This might as well have been 3v2! The fans boo and Turbo protests, but the ref never saw a thing! But now LFI beats down Turbo just because they can! The fans boo, Truth storm sin to shield Turbo but that’s just a 3v2 beating! WAIT! Here comes FTR! The fans fire up as Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler storm their way out! LFI get shots in while they still can, and then they brawl 3v2 with FTR! But now The Outrunners are up! #FTRunners turn the tides 4v3! Dralistico takes haymakers, Rush drags his brother to safety! LFI retreats, but will they prove to FTR who the real Top Guys are?
Sammy Guevara speaks.
“I’ve been here for the past five years. I take a lot of pride in being called an AEW Original. Because of this place, my life changed for the better. So the best way I know how to repay AEW is to make sure every single time I get in that ring, I give you a moment you’ve never seen before. For me, it’s always the same. But the way I get there needs to be different. The way I realize my destiny is by going against the best. And one of the best just had a hell of a debut on Dynamite. He’s a man I watched since I was a kid, so I went to Tony Khan personally and I asked for this match.
This Wednesday, for the first-time ever, live on Dynamite, it’ll be Sammy Guevara VS Shelton Benjamin! Get ready for another moment.” The Spanish God is on his way back, but will he be ready for the Standard of Excellence?
AEW World Trios Championships: Blackpool Combat Club VS Top Flight!
This main event is going to be a Collision for sure! Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac did their best to beat a lot of different teams into submission on Wednesday, but it only stoked the flames of rebellion. Will the Swiss Superman, Decoder & Bastard just have to break their opponents in mind and body? Or will Action, Darius & Dante finally add some gold to their luggage?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really runs things around here!
The trios sort out and Pac starts against Action. They circle, feel things out, then tie up. Pac waistlocks and SLAMS Action, then floats to a facelock. Pac makes it almost a gut wrench, but then he floats around to headlock. Pac grinds Action down, but Action fights up. Pac puts Action on ropes, the ref counts, but Pac backs away at 4. Action watches Pac closely, and then Pac whips. Action reverses to wrench, but Pac wrenches back. Action rolls, handsprings, cartwheels, and wrenches to WRING Pac out! Action then knuckle locks, CHOPS, and he goes up, up and around to FLYING ARM-DRAG! Then DROPKICK!
Action headlocks but Pac RAMS him into the corner! Yuta tags in and fans boo as Yuta fires hands! Yuta digs his knee into Action, lets off as the ref counts, and the ref warns Yuta. Yuta drags Action but Action kicks, KICKS and handsprings over, hot tag to Darius! The fans fire up as Air Wolf SLAMS Yuta down, then rolls to a sunset flip and stack, TWO! Yuta runs up, Darius ducks, dodges and bypasses to DROPKICK! The fans fire up but Claudio tags in! Claudio scoops to SLAM Darius! And then UPPERCUT! Darius sputters, but Claudio storms up on him. Claudio whips, Darius ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Claudio LARIATS!
Claudio hauls Darius up, suplexes, but Darius slips free! Tag to Dante, and he fires hands! The fans fire up but Claudio shoves Dante. Dante dodges to JUPM KNEE! Dante suplexes, but Claudio blocks! Claudio wrenches to LARIAT! Angel Dorado is down but Claudio brings him back up. Claudio suplexes, Darius saves his brother! Claudio runs up, LARIATS Darius but Dante dodges! Dante DROPKICKS Claudio out of the ring! Dante hurries up but Claudio HOTSHOTS him! Darius runs up, Claudio RAMS him back! But Dante runs up, POETRY IN FLIGHT! Dante keeps moving, but Pac trips him up!
The fans boo but Darius WRECKS The Bastard, only for Yuta to CLOBBER him! Action mule kicks Yuta! ARABIAN PRESS! Down goes Yuta and the fans fire up with Th eSight to See! He tells Dante to go, and Dante DIVES, but Claudio catches him! And POSTS him! Top Flight is in trouble while Collision goes picture in picture.
Claudio drags Dante up, fireman’s carries, and marches around the way. Claudio goes up the steps, WASTELAND SLAMS Dante into the ring, then tags Pac. Pac steps in to stomp Dante. Pac drags Dante up, whips him to a corner hard, and Dante tumbles up then down the buckles! Pac paces around like a shark with blood in the water. Pac BOOTS Dante, drags him up again, and bumps him off buckles. Tag to Yuta and Yuta CHOPS! Dante is stinging but Yuta brings him around to hook a leg, FISHERMAN SUPELX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect but Yuta does hold on to the leg., Yuta drags Dante over to tag Claudio.
Claudio takes the other leg, BCC drags Dante to their corner and stomp away! Claudio looms over Dante, but Dante fires body shots! Claudio UPPERCUTS Dante down, stomps him again, then tags Pac. The stomps continue, and then Pac drags Dante up to reel him in. Pac snap suplexes Dante and goes to a corner. Pac runs in, but Dante dodges! Pac hits buckles, but he hurries to stop Dante from getting away! Pac drags Dante away and tags in Claudio! Claudio stomps Dante again, then hauls him up. Claudio ROCKS Dante, fires hands in the corner, then UPPERCUTS! Dante sputters, Claudio stares down Top Flight, and Collision returns to single picture.
Claudio whips Dante corner to corner, runs in, but Dante dodges! Claudio POSTS himself! The fans fire up while Dante crawls! Claudio scrambles back in, hot tags to Yuta and Darius! Darius CLOBBERS Yuta and fires off fast hands! The fans fire up as Darius whips, but Yuta reverses. Darius catches the leapfrog into an atomic drop! BULLDOG HOTSHOT then GAMANGIRI! The fans fire up for the STEP-IN FLATLINER! Darius brings Yuta up, but Yuta JAWBREAKERS! Pac tags in and he runs up on Darius! Darius goes up and over, Action GAMANGIRIS! Pac staggers, Action SHOTGUNS Pac into Darius’ GERMAN SUPLEX!
Pac sputters, the fans fire up, Darius hauls Pac up with a deadlift suplex! Action SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASHES! Cover, Claudio breaks it with a gator roll! And a deadlift POWERBOMB! Darius runs up to fire hands on Claudio! Claudio TOSSES Darius out, and Yuta BUSAIKU KNEES! Dante SUPERKICKS Claudio out! Dante goes up and up, but Pac SHOVES him down! Dante hits apron, but Claudio hauls him up to THRWO into steel steps! The ref reprimands The BCC but Pac CLOBBERS Action! Yuta UPPERCUTS, Claudio UPPERCUTS, Pac UPPERCUTS, repeat! They again and again, UPPERCUT after UPPERCUT! Feed to Pac for a TOMBSTONE! Cover, BCC wins!
Winners: The Blackpool Combat Club, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)
Top Flight just got grounded after BCC railroaded them there! But now they keep on the beating! The fans boo but here comes Moxley! The Maniac himself is here, accompanied by Marina Shafir. They join their team in the ring as the beating continues. Moxley whispers to Pac, and Pac drags Action up. Moxley looks Action in the eyes, and then DECKS him! Claudio continues to hammer away on Darius, but here comes Lio Rush! He gets mugged, but Leila Grey asks they stop. Marina ROUNDHOUSES Leila! Marina TOSSES Leila up, and Collision ends with more mayhem! Who will ever stop the reign of terror that Moxley has started?
My Thoughts:
A really good Collision, with the only real filler being The House of Black winning their squash match. Great match from Ricochet VS Fox with a great win from Ricochet, and a pretty good promo for him to call out Takeshita. If they want to sell what he said, Ricochet should go to the same other promotions Takeshita visits. Like if Takeshita goes back home to Japan and DDT Pro, have Ricochet go after him after a match. And as far as having a match, this should culminate at Full Gear to really stretch out Takeshita trying to avoid Ricochet until he just can’t. Kyle VS Atlantis was also a great match, and great win for Kyle. Kyle saying he’ll tell all on Wednesday is of course going to set up Kyle VS Ospreay, perhaps also for Full Gear.
Very good match from Kris VS Harley, which Kris of course wins. Kris calling out Kamille is great, and a little annoyed they’re making us wait for Fright Night when Kris VS Kamille could just happen next week to give us Kris VS Mone at Fright Night instead. But whatever, this is the usual Tony Khan Women’s Division pacing, because surely Kris VS Mone is what he wants for Full Gear. That does make sense, because for one, Mone as a character would want the big money moment on a PPV, not on TV. And regardless of where/when it happens, it is hard to say that even Face Statlander beats Mone for the TBS Championship.
Harley also had a good moment with Thunder Rosa. Rosa knocking Harley on her ass was great, and Rosa VS Harley will be fun stuff. It can definitely help Rosa get back up and into title conversations, and she should be going for Mone and the TBS title because chasing that history of “first woman to hold both AEW belts” is some good stuff. Meanwhile, Hayter demolished Havok, and she’ll have really good stuff with Penelope Ford, and on a personal level, I do feel for Penelope missing two YEARS of action. Penelope probably wins a match from cheating, but then loses to Hayter in the rematch so that Hayter can go back for a championship.
Great match from LFI VS Outrunners, but the cheating spots LFI pulled off were a bit clunky. LFI of course wins to spark more interaction with FTR, and LFI VS FTR will be great stuff whenever they do it. And then great stuff in this larger story of “Who runs AEW?” Garcia & Private Party had a great promo to call out The Elite, they had a really good match with The Premier Athletes and therefore a really good win over them. Cassidy squashing Bronson while also knocking down Jameson was good stuff. Then Garcia asking Cassidy to take a stand against BCC was good stuff. Cassidy has good reason for wanting to avoid BCC, but Cassidy’s role in this story is now making that random promo with Jerry Lynn work out.
And then speaking of the BCC, very good promo from Moxley to open, and great main event with Top Flight. BCC of course won, but the beatdown that bleeds over into Battle of the Belts is actually pretty good stuff. BCC are just agents of violence and chaos, and they booked the third hour, so might as well segue from one show right into the next.
My Score: 8.8/10
