PLAY BY PLAY

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 DIVES 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 climbs into the ring from that side to loom over Cassidy. He slaps the Sloth around, egging him on. Cassidy gets up but Fenix kicks him back down. 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! The ref reprimands and the crowd boos, but Fenix whips Cassidy corner to corner. Fenix runs in but Cassidy blocks him! Cassidy’s trying again! FURIOUS PALM STRIKES! SUPER FOREARM! The crowd fires up as Cassidy throws off his armbands! Fenix gets out but Cassidy builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit but Cassidy puts Fenix in fast! Cassidy is up top, leaps, and hits a big crossbody! Cassidy keeps moving, tilt-o-whirl DDT! Cover, TWO!! Cassidy almost had Fenix but heads to a corner. The crowd rallies as he climbs back up. But Fenix SHORYUKENS! Fenix climbs up to join Cassidy but Cassidy fights back. Cassidy shoves and Fenix flips to flop! Cassidy hits a FLYING DDT!! Cover, TWO!?! Fenix survives and Cassidy can’t believe it!

Cassidy drags Fenix back up and Alabama lifts. Fenix grabs ropes and gets to the apron, but Cassidy buckle bumps him. Cassidy climbs up and drags Fenix up to join him. Fenix fights back with clubbing forearms and underhooks! Cassidy puts his hands in his pocket to block, and then he HEADBUTTS! But Fenix rebounds to SUPER SUNSET BOMB!! Cover, TWO!! Fenix and Cassidy go to opposite corners, Fenix runs in for a big forearm! Fenix puts Cassidy up top, reels him in, KINNIKU- NO! Victory roll, TWO!! Fenix rocks Cassidy, somersaults, but into the SUNSET DRIVER! Cover, TWO!?! Fenix survives again and- Wait, is that Kip Sabian? He’s bringing in a ladder! 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?

 

Nyla Rose & Britt Baker VS Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander!

At Double or Nothing, The Native Beast and the Samurai of Stardom will go 1v1 in a No Disqualification match for the AEW Women’s World Championship! At the same time, The Dentist and The Galaxy’s Greatest Alien have a grudge match relating to last week’s Fatal 4 Way. Tonight is about the good, the bad and the gnarly teaming up to take the other side down! Which duo comes away with the momentum heading into their PPV showdowns?

On her way out, Statlander boops the whole crowd and the crowd goes wild! Nyla makes her entrance and she still has Shida’s kendo stick. The tension is strong, and Nyla goes after Shida with the stick again! Shida dodges, the two fight over it, and Britt runs over to help, only to get clothesline’d by the kendo stick! Kris steps on the stick to throw forearms on Nyla! The bell hasn’t rung but Shida and Kris double whip to kick and bulldog Nyla down! Kris adds a somersault senton! Brit runs back in but into double kicks and a whip! Britt holds ropes and bails out, thinking better of this brawl. Shida goes after Nyla and now the match begins!

Tag to Kris and both she and Shida double suplex. Nyla is too big and strong, though, and she fights free. Kris throws forearms over and over to club Nyla onto ropes. Kris dropkicks Nyla hard against the ropes, then runs to go after Britt. But Nyla POUNCES Kris first! Nyla stomps Kris and drags her up to bump off buckles. Nyla stomps away, digs her boots into Kris, but lets up as Kris flops out to the apron. Nyla brings Kris up to bump off buckles then choke on the ropes! The ref reprimands but Nyla CLUBS Kris down! Nyla scoops Kris to slam down and drop a leg! The crowd rallies for Kris and Shida but Nyla brings Kris over to Britt. Britt doesn’t want to tag, she needs more time to prepare. Kris throws forearms on Nyla as AEW goes picture in picture!

Kris whips, Nyla reveres and scoops to sidewalk slam slam! Nyla runs and leaps for a BIG splash! Cover, TWO! Kris survives and Nyla grows frustrated. Nyla drags Kris up and snapmares to neck crank! Kris endures as Nyla leans on her and traps on arm. Nyla puts some stank on her CHOPS, then cranks harder. Kris fights up but Nyla shifts to a dragon sleeper and backbreaker rack. Nyla CLAWS Kris’ stomach and ribs! Kris clubs back on Nyla but Nyla clubs her. Nyla suplexes and holds Kris up for 10 before slamming her down! Cover, TWO! Nyla drags Kris up and Britt still needs time. Nyla headbutts Kris down and GRABS Britt! Does that count as a tag? Britt grabs the tag rope and actually tags in, finally giving Nyla a breather. Britt goes to Kris, but gets caught in a cradle! TWO and Britt fires off furious forearms on Kris for that.

Britt scrapes Kris to ropes and stands on her head. She STOMPS Kris down, then Nyla gets a cheap shot in. The ref reprimands Nyla but Kris fires back on Britt!

Winners: Nyla Rose & Britt Baker, by pinfall

The AEW Women’s World Champion wins against her contender, but she’s not done with her yet! Nyla brings out a TABLE! This will be legal in the No Disqualification match, and Nyla wants a preview of it tonight! Nyla sets the table up, positions it just right, and drags Shida up. Nyla places Shida on the table then climbs up a corner! But Kris makes the save by anchoring Nyla down! Shida hurries to go after Nyla for herself and brings her up. Shida clubs away on Nyla and brings her up, for a SUPERPLEX through the table!! Kris helps Shida up and out of the ring now that they have their moral victory. But can Shida slay the Native Beast on the record? And what of Britt Baker’s condition? Will she and Kris still be able to have their grudge match at Double or Nothing?

 

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.

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

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament Finals: Timeless Love Bombs VS The Babes of Wrath!

Toni Storm said herself that she and Mina Shirakawa were bonded by a bloody and tragic romance with a certain Glamour, and she only sees Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron as a “thrown together team to fill out the bracket.” But that team not only filled out the bracket, they conquered their half to be here in the title match! Will everyone #FeelTheWrath when Willow & Harley take the gold? Or will the Love Bombs leave them out in the cold instead?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who has what it takes to make history!

Then they DOUBLE HEADBUTT with each other!! Harley and Mina come back, they SLINGBLADE in return!! The fans are thunderous again as all four women are down!

Just as that fan’s sign says, “I ❤️Women’s Wrestling!” And as strong as Toni & Mina are as a duo, perhaps Willow & Harley are that much stronger! Renee Paquette is here, she hugs the brand new champs, and she has a mic to say, “The Babes of Wrath did it! They made history here tonight! Ladies, a huge congratulations, this is incredible. Harley Cameron, this is the first championship you have won here in AEW. Can you guys put into any words for me what it means to be our first-ever AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions?!” The fans cheer, and Willow says, “Huh. First feeling: tired. That was a hard fight. Harley’s mouth is all bloody. It’s not just lipstick folks.

“But I am proud of myself, of course, but I am so proud of Harley Cameron.” The fans cheer that! Willow continues that it has been a rough year for her, not knowing who is there for her and who is, but Harley always was! The fans chant, “You Deserve It!” Harley says she and Willow first met in the ring in Harley’s second-ever match three years ago, and she can’t believe that they now stand here the FIRST-EVER AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions!! Renee again congratulates them, and Harley says, “What are we?” Willow says, “BABES!” “And what do we have?” “WRATH!” The fans join in chanting, “BABES OF WRATH! BABES OF WRATH!”

Pyro goes off as our new champions raise these belts up high! But then Toni & Mina storm up to them! The fans chant, “Hug It Out! Hut It Out!” Toni & Mina offer handshakes, the champs accept, and then they hug! A new chapter truly begins in AEW, will Willow & Harley set a high bar for what it means to be AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions?

 

The Opps speak.

Samoa Joe says, “So, Eddie, congratulations. Your time has come. After weeks of asking, now you will see. Eddie, you wanted the real Samoa Joe, the man you looked up to. The crusader of the independents, the person whose footsteps you’ve followed in, Eddie. What you don’t realize, Eddie, is that man has been standing in front of you the entire time. Eddie, this IS the real me! Eddie, I am ruthless by design. Eddie, I do not care about men like you, because you’re in the way of what I have. Eddie, the man that you looked up to, it was a wonderful idea. But the man that’s gonna beat your ass tonight… Oh, Eddie, this is the man who’s going to show you the reality of what this industry is.”

The One True King of Wrestling Television promises to be very real and very dangerous, but will he crush Eddie’s spirit along with his body?

 

The Death Riders speak.

Jon Moxley shakes it off and says, “Damn. I am feeling alive. Synapses are firing, electric sparks are sparking in my fingertips. Circumstances aren’t ideal. My back is increasingly against the wall in this Continental Classic, time is running out. But I have proven over and over again, if there is one grain of sand left in the hourglass, I can still score, and I can score big. So go ahead, count me out. Go ahead. If you need circumstances to be ideal to try, maybe you just suck. You know people pay money for this? Take some pride in your work. I have to try. For them. For them! There’s a principle that we believe in. If they are not willing to work, let them not eat.

“We’re the hungriest group of individuals in professional wrestling. That is why we are the hardest working group of individuals in professional wrestling. We’re chasing the dragon every single day!” Daniel Garcia speaks up and says, “Every day we wake up, we choose to win. And that’s why we are the hungriest, that’s why we are the hardest working, that’s why we try. A lot of people think it’s too cool to try, that’s lame. I’m telling you right now, if you want something, you have to go take it, and that’s what we’re gonna go do every single time.” The Maniac and the Red Death are ready to keep trying, but will they be able to win what they want?

 

2025 Continental Classic Gold League: Kazuchika Okada VS Jack Perry!

The Rainmaker is 1-1 but on the upswing in this C2, but “Jungle Jack” is picking up the baton for Darby Allin, meaning he’s 0-1 and with no points. But will getting payback against a former friend be more than enough motivation for Jack to turn things around? Or will the “greatest tournament wrestler ever” prove he still holds that title along with the AEW International Championship?

The bell rings, and Jack rushes Okada in the corner! Jack fires hands, RAMS Okada, but backs off as the ref counts. Jack then RAMS Okada again and again! The ref backs Jack off, but then Okada BOOTS Jack! Jack ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! The fans fire up, they tell off Don Callis on commentary, and Jack DIVES! Down goes Okada and the fans fire up, then Jack whips Okada into barriers! Jack drags Okada up, whips, but Okada reverses! Jack hits railing, Okada runs up, but Jack DROPKICKS in return! The fans fire up, but Jack shakes out his foot before he gets Okada in the ring. The fans fire up again and Jack covers, TWO!

The fans rally as Okada shakes out the stars. Jack hears the fans rally up, and he storms after Okada. But Okada puts him right up top! Jack BOOTS Okada first, then hops up to FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Okada is tougher than that, but Jack makes sure Callis sees this. Jack puts Okada in the corner, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along, and Jack goes to nine, then flips Okada off! But Okada slips out to DROPKICK Jack down onto a ring staffer! Jack clutches that bad foot again while Okada grins. The fans rally while Jack checks his foot, and Okada waits on him. Jack slowly rises, so Okada goes out after him.

Okada drags Jack up and around, and he THROWS Jack into railing! Jack tumbles up and over into the front row! The fans boo Okada and rally for Jack, but Jack drags himself up with the railing. Okada storms up, brings Jack onto the railing, DRAPING DDT on the floor! Jack writhes and Okada grins while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Okada “apologizes” to Jack before dragging him back up. Okada puts Jack in the ring, stalks him, but Jack fires body shots. Okada KNEES Jack low! Then he drags Jack up to turn and NECKBREAKER! Okada covers, TWO! Jack toughs it out but Okada drags him up. Okada bumps Jack off buckles, SMACKS him off them again, then “apologizes” again. Okada SMACKS Jack off the buckles again, then turns him around. Okada runs corner to corner to ELBOW Jack down! Cover, TWO! Jack is tougher than that, but Okada stalks him to a corner. Jack CHOPS Okada, then CHOPS again! And again! But Okada kicks low to DDT!

Jack writhes, Okada steps on him, and it’s a cocky cover! TWO, but Okada just stalks Jack. Dynamite returns to single picture as Okada scuffs Jack and taunts him. The fans rally for Jack and Jack stands up to fire a forearm! Okada eggs Jack on, Jack fires more shots, but Okada ROCKS him! Jack rises again, and he fires more forearms! But Okada ROCKS Jack again! The fans rally as Okada eggs Jack on, but Jack rises to fire a flurry! Okada ROCKS Jack, ROCKS him again, then BOOTS him! Okada fires more heavy shots, then UPPERCUTS! Jack flops against Okada but Okada whips him. Jack hits the COMEBACKER!

The fans fire up while Jack and Okada are both down! Okada sputters and the standing count begins. Jack rolls to the corner, Okada sits up at center, and Don Callis says Okada is smart enough to know how to use the clock to his advantage. Okada storms up, but Jack ELBOWS Okada! And ROCKS him! And CHOPS him! And repeat! Jack whips, Okada reverses, but Jack jumps up and around! GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up and even Don admits that was great! Jack runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then SATELLITE DDTS! Cover, TWO! Okada survives but the fans rally up for Jack. Okada blocks a kick to BOOT Jack, then Alabama Lift! REVERSE NECKBREAKER!

The fans fire up again, Okada drags Jack up to scoop and SLAM! Okada goes up the corner, takes aim, and he MACHO ELBOWS! Okada then winds up, and the fans fire up for the Rainmaker MIDDLE FINGER! Okada grins and he drags Jack up. Okada ripcords, but Jack ducks to hop up! Okada slips out, shoves, and DROPKICKS! Okada gets Jack back up, ripcords again at the ten minute mark, but Jack ducks the lariat! SUPERKICK! And then POISON-RANA! Jack hurries to a corner, the fans fire up, and he runs up, GLASS JACK KNEE!! Cover, TWO!?! Okada survives and Jack is shocked, but Don admits Jack is showing the world what he’s got!

“This is Awesome!” as Jack hooks up the legs, SNARE- NO, Okada fights the crossface, and he BITES Jack’s hand! The ref reprimands, Okada stops and Jack lets him go. Okada grins, then scoops! TOMB- NO, Jack BITES Okada’s thigh!! Maybe. Rollup, TWO!! Jack steps through, SNARE TRAP!! Okada is caught, but he reaches out! The fans fire up as Okada flails, and he’s turning red! Okada drags himself and Jack forward, to the ROPEBREAK!! Okada bails out, and he grabs a chair!? Jack CLOBBERS Okada! Jack has the chair, but says no, can’t do that. Jack puts Okada in, then he reels Okada in.

Okada fights the lift, then turns Jack to backslide. Roll through, short arm LARIAT! Okada isn’t done, and Don says time to punish Jack! Short arm- NO, Jack dodges, and he avoids the dropkick! Reset, and GLASS JAW- NO, Okada scoops! EMERALD FLOWSION!! Then the ripcord! RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!

Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Jack earns 0)

Three matches in for Okada, he has another win and six points, but he’s still a step behind the leader. Will The Protostar stay spotless after a showdown with Speedball? As for The Rainmaker, Callis celebrates with him, and brings out the other family members in Rocky Romero, Josh Alexander, Mark Davis, Hechicero, CLØN, and even Konosuke Takeshita, but also the bags of money they won at Full Gear. The fans boo as Callis get a mic, and he says, “I have something important to say!” The fans boo harder, but Callis wants them to sit Jack up. The Family sits Jack up, and Callis says it is okay, guys. This kid’s a businessman, stand him up.

The fans boo and cuss out Callis, but he tells Jack that that was a fantastic match! The toughest match he’s seen Okada have in a long time. There is no shame in losing to Okada, Callis has a lot of respect for Jack. And watching the match, Callis remembers how last week, he tried to give The Young Bucks a million dollars. But he kinda thinks he offered that money to the wrong talent. The fans boo more, but Callis tells Jack that he has a proposal. Jack’s always been a great talent, but he lacks focus and direction. Jack lacks a team of athletes around him to support him! Callis is offering Jack a spot in the Don Callis Family!

But even more than that, he is prepared to grant Jack a one-time-only “signing bonus,” paid out of The Bucks’ prize money! The fans boo and tell Jack, “F HIS DEAL! F HIS DEAL!” Callis says c’mon, this is a great offer! We need an answer. And in case that is still not enough, well, what is Jack waiting for? This is the best opportunity of his life! And remember, there’s seven of them and one of him. Callis will cut those strings and put Jack in a wheelchair. Jack asks for the mic, Callis hands it over, and Rocky says do the right thing and take the deal. Fans chant “NO! NO! NO!” Jack tells Callis, “I have your answer. And it looks like for the second time tonight, I might bite off more than I can chew.”

Jack SMACKS Davis with the mic! And then he fires off on Rocky! The others swarm Jack, they mug him 6v1, but here comes Luchasaurus! The fans fire up for the big reinforcements! The Callis Family watches him, that’s still a 6v2 scenario! BUT WAIT! The Bucks slide in from the crowd side! And they’re armed with chairs! They SAMCK Davis, SMACK Alexander, JAM Okada, and so on and so forth! Callis runs away, but then Luchasaurus DOUBLE CHOKE SLAMS Hechi & Clon! Okada wants mercy from his old friends, but he gets a B T E TRIGGER instead!! Callis slithers back in just to grab the money, but Luchasaurus is right behind him!

Callis fears for his life, but the fans tell him he F’d up! Callis hands the money back to The Bucks, apologizes for the problems, but then The Bucks take aim! Konosuke steps in, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS into The Alpha! The fans fire up, Rocky is back, SUPERKICKS! Then a feed to Luchasaurus! CHOKE SLAM! The fans fire up as The Elite stands tall, AND they have the money! But will they make sure the Callis Family pay in blood?

 

The Conglomeration celebrates backstage!

Harley, Willow, Mark Briscoe, and even Orange Cassidy are all excited for the Babes of Wrath! Roderick Strong is reluctantly here, not happy at all. Mascara Dorada & Alex Abrahantes even step in and say congrats, and then the Time Bombs are back to again hug and congratulate the champs. But will they be celebrating all through the holidays and even to World’s End?

 

Backstage interview with Eddie Kingston.

Renee is with the Mad King and says he is going to be in tonight’s main event, competing for the AEW World Championship against Samoa Joe. She feels this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for since he came back, but how is he feeling heading into the match? Eddie says nervous, but that’s good, it keeps you on your toes. But what Eddie’s really been thinking about is that the GOAT, the late Terry Funk, it is the 50th anniversary of when he won the Worlds Championship. Eddie is hoping to make Terry proud, he hopes to make Mama & Papa Kingston proud. Okay, well, now we’re getting too emotional.

Renee says that’s okay to be emotional going into this. Well, yeah, cuz you never know how many times you’re gonna have a title shot like this. Eddie is 0-2 already, you just don’t know. Eddie wants to be cool right now, doesn’t wanna crash out, just wants to get to the match. But respect. Eddie knows Joe is watching, even as he’s probably stretching and warming up with The Opps. But Joe’s in the fight of his life, dawg, Eddie ain’t going down easy. The fans cheer that! Will we also be cheering when The Mad King finally has his crowning achievement?

 

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

He notes Eddie will get his shot in the main event, but let’s now welcome out the TNT Champion, Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as the Sussex County Chicken makes his entrance, holding up the custom title as gifted to him by Orange Cassidy. We already know that this Saturday, on a special live-from-Cardiff Collision: Winter is Coming, that title is on the line against Daniel Garcia. The fans cheer as Briscoe steps into the ring and holds up the belt again. Schiavone says yes, an early start for Collision, and Briscoe defends against Garcia of the Death Riders. Briscoe says yessir, Schiavone, it wasn’t long ago that certain individuals were saying, “Mark Briscoe can’t get it done.”

They were saying Briscoe can’t win the big one, will never be a true champion. Well, Briscoe knows the haters are still out there, but we’re here in front of the fine folks in Atlanta, Georgia, baby! The fans cheer that! Briscoe says he’s got this nice piece of shiny hardware, so what does that tell ya? Schiavone says it means Briscoe’s the champion! The fans cheer that! Briscoe then says that the doubters are out there, but he will respectfully give them a very clear and concise message: “Y’all can kiss my big white ass!” The fans cheer that! Briscoe says now, it is one thing to become a champion, but it is another to reign, and defend, and to stay a champion.

It all starts Saturday afternoon on TNT! He will defend his title against Danny Garcia in Cardiff, Wales, and- Wheeler Yuta interrupts, and says he has to stop Briscoe here before he embarrasses himself. The fans boo Yuta but Yuta says Briscoe is the epitome of low hanging fruit. Briscoe wants to be the Face of TNT, but that face has less teeth than Briscoe has children! We don’t call Briscoe “Chicken” because he’s a coward, but also because he has the mental capacity of a chicken! The fans boo and cuss out Yuta, but Yuta ignores that. Garcia says that’s a good insult, Yuta, and Garcia is sure he’s got a lot of mean and hurtful things he could say, too.

Garcia steps into the ring to stare Briscoe down, and he says he won’t say any of those insults, because he actually feels bad for Briscoe. Looking him up and down, everything about Briscoe is just sad. But what’s gonna be even sadder is when Garcia beats Briscoe on Saturday, becomes as TWO-TIME TNT Champion, and Briscoe has to figure out how to provide for his family with a broken leg. The fans boo again, but Briscoe tells “Danny Boy,” that Saturday on TNT, Garcia’s got a ass-whoopin’ coming his way. The fans cheer that! Tonight, here and now, they’re on TBS. It’d be a damn shame to deprive the viewers in Hotlanta a whoopin’ right here!

So if Garcia is feeling brave, make a move. Garcia slaps the mic away, then shoves Briscoe! Briscoe DECKS Garcia! Marina & Yuta keep Garcia from going after Briscoe again! Garcia is furious, but the fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Briscoe holds up the title again, will he travel across the pond and travel right back still the Face of TNT?

 

There’s something going on backstage!

The Triangle of Madness are tearing into more random talent! Thekla asks where Stat Daddy went, but then Kris BLASTS her outta nowhere! And she fires off on the Sisters of Sin! Kris says if Thekla wants her, she’s got her! But then she gets mugged 3v1! Kris grabs a chair! She SMACKS Skye Blue, JAMS up Julia Hart, then winds up! Thekla avoids getting squashed like the spider she is, and Kris asks what happened! Don’t they wanna fight?! The Triangle of Madness is no longer acting tough, but will Skye & Julia freeze up when they face Stat Daddy & Jamie Hayter this Saturday in Cardiff?

 

Tornado Tag: Hangman Page & Swerve Strickland VS Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs!

While Samoa Joe was the mastermind of the Full Gear screw job, The Millennial Cowboy & The Realest still owe the rest of The Opps for the betrayal and the disrespect shown since WrestleDream. And though they’re the unlikeliest of allies, could they become the most dangerous team AEW has ever seen? Or will The Wrestler & The Powerhouse show The Opps are #NeverLacking?

Well, speaking of never lacking, The Opps bring their dojo trainees with them as extra reinforcements. But then Hangman is making his entrance from the stands, not the ramp! And now Swerve’s entrance music begins, where is he going to enter from? Prince Nana is up in the stands, and he gets the chant started! “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve is also coming in from the stands, and both he and Hangman are armed with those steel chains they strangled the trainees with! Shibata sends those pawns out after Hangman & Swerve, but they just get metal chain fists to the face! And STAPLES from Swerve!

The fans fire up as Swerve and Hangman each fight their way through the grunts, but now Shibata and Hobbs make their moves! Shibata struggles with Swerve over the staple gun, and one of the trainees takes the shot! Hobbs has a chair! Hangman avoids a shot, then fires off haymakers! This madness goes up higher into the crowd, then into the pavilion! Swerve sends Shibata into the wall! Then METAL FIST BODY SHOT! Hangman SMACKS Hobbs off the bar! And then he SMACKS Hobbs with the Christmas tree! Swerve CHOKES Shibata, SMACKS him off the merch table, but Hobbs then LOW BLOWS Hangman!

Hobbs does his best Stone Cold by two-fisting bears and chugging! Hobbs dumps the beer on Hangman, throws the tree away, and Shibata TOSSES Swerve over merch tables! But then Hangman scoops Hobbs! POWERSLAM through a TABLE! The fans fire up, Hangman gets himself a drink, and the fans cheer as he chugs it down. Shibata meanwhile makes Swerve take a seat, then throws hands. Shibata gets space, and he runs up to fake the dropkick and BOOT Swerve down instead! The fans boo but Shibata just soaks it up. The refs want this to get in the ring, they didn’t even officially start the match! But the fans don’t really mind while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Shibata CLUBS Swerve, but Swerve fireman’s carries him! SNAKE EYES off the railing! Swerve drags Shibata along to go down the bleachers now. Hangman and Hobbs are dangerously close to a ledge! Swerve and Shibata return to ground level, and Swerve BOWLS Shibata into chairs! Hangman gets away from Hobbs while Swerve drags Shibata up. Swerve makes Shibata take a seat, then he throws down hands! Hangman fires off on Hobbs! The fans fire up with Swerve as he runs up on Shibata, and he CALF KICKS! Hobbs ROCKS Hangman! Swerve drags Shibata up and continues towards ringside, THROWING him over the railing!

Hobbs fires headlock punches on Hangman, but Hangman BOOTS him in return! Swerve looks under the ring, and brings out a TABLE! Hangman HAMMERS away on Hobbs, the fans count along, and Hangman goes to TEN! Swerve SMACKS Shibata off the apron, then he puts him on the table as it leans against commentary. Dynamite returns to single picture, Swerve hops up onto the railing, but Shibata kicks the legs out! The fans boo, but then Hangman grabs a chair. Hangman stalks Hobbs into the ring while Shibata BOOTS Swerve over the railing! With Hangman and Hobbs in the ring, the match finally starts!

And then the ref takes the chair from Hangman! Tornado tag doesn’t automatically mean No Disqualification! The fans boo, but Hobbs then runs up to CLOBBER Hobbs! The fans boo but Hobbs snarls. Hobbs drags Hangman up, Shibata joins in, and Hobbs SLAMS Hangman down! Shibata suplexes Hangman, then Hobbs drags Hangman up to scoop and SLAM again! Shibata drags Hangman up to suplex again! The fans boo while Hangman flounders to the corner. Hobbs drags Hangman up, he and Shibata DOUBLE SUPLEX! Shibata stomps Hangman, the fans boo, but The Opps just soak it up. Shibata KNEES Hangman, then whips him to Hobbs for the LARIAT!

Hangman sputters to the corner, Shibata sends Hobbs in for the SPLASH! Shibata runs and HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Then a HALF HATCH! Hangman RIPCORD POWERSLAMS! The fans boo but Shibata adds a PENALTY KICK! Shibata pretends he can’t hear the fans cheering Hangman, and so the fans boo Shibata. Shibata CLUBS Hangman, stands him up, and Hobbs runs up to BODY SHOT! The fans rally for Swerve but Hobbs sets up on the apron. Nana gets on the apron?! Nana asks why they gotta do this, but Hobbs grabs Nana by the jacket! But SWERVE is back! He BOOTS Hobbs down! Hangman TOSSES Shibata!

Hangman and Swerve look to each other, and they both DIVE! They take out Hobbs and Shibata, put them both in, and then Hangman LARIATS Hobbs and himself out of the ring! Shibata fires forearms on Swerve to sit him down in the corner, then runs corner to corner, but into a HIP TOSS! And gator roll, to the suplex, but Shibata lands out! Swerve avoids the leg sweep to BOOT Shibata! Swerve puts Shibata in the corner, UPPERCUTS, then snapmares so he can go up! FALLING UPPERCUT! Swerve hits the Griddy~! The fans fire up again and Swerve aims at Shibata. “Whose House?” “SWERVE HOUSE!” But Hobbs YANKS Swerve outta the ring!

But Hangman aims at Shibata now! Hangman BOOTS Shibata, slingshots, and BUCK- NO, Shibata slips around! Hobbs is arguing with the ref, so Shibata LOW BLOWS Hangman! The fans boo but Shibata flips Hangman into an ARMBAR! But Swerve CLOBBERS Hobbs into the steps! Swerve goes up while Hangman endures, and we get KILL STOMPS on Shibata!! All four men are down and the fans are thunderous! Swerve and Hangman both stir, then rise up. The fans rally up as Hobbs returns, and it is Hangman and Swerve throwing hands back to back! Shibata and Hobbs hit back, they brawl side by side!

Hobbs runs, but Hangman and Swerve both move! Hobbs CLOBBERS Shibata! Then Hangman and Swerve ROLLING ELBOW SANDWICH! Swerve feeds Shibata to Hangman, FALL AWAY SLAM! Shibata is in place for a 450 SPLASH! Hangman kips up, he dodges Hobbs, CLUB and ROLLING FLATLINER! The fans fire up as these rivals stare down. But for all the anger they have for each other, they both look at Hobbs! Hobbs says bring it then! Hangman & Swerve slide out, and they get Hobbs off the apron! POWERBOMB down through the table!! The fans go nuts, and now Hangman aims! Slingshot, BUCKSHOT on Shibata!!

Swerve gets the last say, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” HOUSE CALL!! Cover, Hangman & Swerve win!

Winners: Hangman Page & Swerve Strickland, by pinfall

Indeed, the most dangerous weren’t The Opps, it was the duo of Hangman & Swerve! But while the pawns and the knights cleared out, can Hangman and Swerve take aim right at Samoa Joe? And what of Swerve VS Josh Alexander this Saturday? Will The Realest disarm the Walking Weapon in Wales?

 

Don Callis speaks backstage.

“Young Bucks! You stole my money. You may think that because you’ve got possession of it somehow, that this is yours. Possession is nine-tenths of the law, but it’s not! Y’see, I am prepared to drag you through the courts and put you in the poor house to get my money back, but I would much rather get my pound of flesh! I have got all the best athletes! I’ve got Takeshita, I’ve got Okada, I’ve got Hechicero, which makes me think maybe, you two idiots should find yourselves a partner. And in Manchester, lemme get my pound of flesh and let’s go 3-on-3! My men against you and a partner, winner gets the million dollars! If you grow a set, accept.”

The Jackal thinks he can rob The Bucks of what is rightfully theirs, while also thinking he can still get Okada and Takeshita to work together. Will Matt & Nick even need a third? Or do they have just the guy to back them up?

 

Stokely Hathaway speaks.

“I have breaking news. It’s been an interesting few weeks because The Bang Bang Gang, they decided to be handsy with the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and be handsy with the greatest tag team alive today, FTR. Well, last week, FTR and I, we had an epiphany. See, a lot of people believe the world’s most dangerous narcotic is on the streets. That’s a lie! The most dangerous narcotic is this camera, because it causes an addiction. Everyone in AEW, when they get in front of this camera, they believe that they are great. It causes an addiction where they believe that they deserve TV time! It causes an addiction where they believe that they deserve and can win a championship.

“Well guess what, Austin Gunn? Guess what, Juice Robinson? Next week on Dynamite, Manchester, England, one of the biggest shows of the year, you will finally get that opportunity that you’ve been yearning and you’ve been begging for, because you will get a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships. And when FTR beats you, they’re gonna cure you of that addiction. So, Bang Bang Gang, when you walk through customs at the end of Dynamite, you won’t be able to declare those championships. But you will be able to declare that you’re gonna be at the back of the line, and the back of the tag division, where you truly belong. Top Guys out.”

Big Stoke has big words on behalf of the champs, but will Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood still be the best tag team in AEW? Or will it be #GunsUp for the holidays?

 

2025 Continental Classic Gold League: Kyle Fletcher VS “Speedball” Mike Bailey!

It is first place facing last place as The Protostar and Speedball meet in the C2! Kyle is two matches in with six points, will he be a perfect 3-0? Or will the 0-1 do-or-die situation spur Bailey on towards the biggest upset so far?

The bell rings and the fans fire up as Kyle’s tearaway pants come off. Kyle and Bailey stare down, step up, and the fans duel. Kyle and Bailey nod, circle, and then tie up. Kyle powers Bailey to the ropes, backs off as the ref counts, but then swings! Bailey dodges, but Kyle blocks the rollup! Bailey avoids the stomp, but Kyle narrowly avoids a kick! The fans cheer as Kyle goes to the ropes. Bailey and Kyle stare down again, then reset to circle. They tie up, Kyle goes for the arm, then wrenches to a wristlock. Bailey rolls, handsprings, and wrenches to wristlock, hammerlock, then headlock. Kyle back suplexes, but Bailey lands out to hit a flying takeover!

Bailey tries to make this a cover, Kyle keeps his shoulders up, but Bailey pushes through, ONE as Kyle now ghost pins Bailey! TWO, and Bailey holds the headlock for a jump up the corner! Sunset flip, TWO! Kyle bails out and he’s frustrated, but Bailey eggs him on! The fans fire up all the same, and Kyle takes his time going around the outside. Kyle wants Bailey to get back, so the ref has Bailey give Kyle space. The fans rally and duel, Kyle steps onto the apron, but Bailey storms up. Kyle stays back again, and he hears the dueling. Kyle smirks, steps back in, and circles with Bailey. Kyle kicks low, then he CLUBS Bailey down!

The fans boo but Kyle mocks the chants, “Speedball Bailey~!” Then he stomps Bailey! Fans agree they like “Both These Guys!” but Kyle still stomps Bailey again! Kyle whips, Bailey handsprings, and Bailey jumps right over the sweep! Bailey ducks ‘n’ dodges, goes up and FLYING RANAS! Kyle tumbles out, Bailey kips up, and Bailey runs to not wreck with a dropkick but FLYING RANA again! Kyle is as shocked as he is in pain, and the fans are thunderous! Bailey goes up a corner, waits for Kyle to get in, and he CROSSBODIES! But Kyle catches him! BACKBREAKER and FULL NELSON SLAM! The fans fire up again while Kyle checks his jaw.

Kyle rains down fists on Bailey, the ref reprimands about closed fists, but Kyle just grounds ‘n’ pounds! Kyle then steps off, brings Bailey up, and he scoops, but Bailey slips out! Bailey BOOTS from the corner, goes up again, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Kyle tumbles, the fans fire up, and Bailey rises up. Bailey runs up to spin SOBAT! And AX KICK! And ROUNDHOUSE! The fans fire up again, and Bailey SHOOTING STAR FLOPS as Kyle moves! Kyle deadlifts Bailey, but Bailey knees free! Bailey runs up, Kyle dodges, but Bailey DUMPS Kyle out! Bailey then ASAI TORNILLOS! The fans fire up as Kyle goes down!

Bailey drags Kyle up, puts him in the ring, but Kyle rolls out the far side. The fans boo but Bailey pursues! Bailey runs up, but Kyle SUPERKICKS! Kyle reels Bailey in, but Bailey fights the suplex! Bailey fires body shots, and he hoists Kyle up to SLAM him on the barrier! Bailey CLUBS away on Kyle, then Bailey climbs up! But Kyle anchors Bailey’s foot! Kyle stands, scoops, and MICHINOKU DRIVER on the barriers!! The fans lose their minds while both men are down, and Dynamite goes picture in picture!

Both men writhe, their backs killing them after that rough landing on the narrow target. Kyle leaves Bailey behind to roll into the ring, so now Bailey fights the ring count. Bailey rises at 5 of 10, but he slumps against the apron. Bailey is still down at 8, but he springs back in at 9! Kyle watches from the corner, and he runs up to PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO!! Bailey survives and Kyle is annoyed. Kyle paces around Bailey, drags him up, and TOSSES him out! Kyle goes out to reposition the steel steps! Kyle drags Bailey up, reels him in, and brings him up the steps! But Bailey fights the lift to sit Kyle down! Kyle shoves Bailey away, but Bailey LEAPS off the steps!

But Kyle catches him again! Kyle aims for the corner, but Bailey pops up to POISON-RANA to the floor!! Both men are down again and the ref hurries to check them both. They’re both okay to continue, and Kyle drags himself into the ring. Bailey follows, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Both men go to the apron again, and Kyle fires forearms! The fans rally up, and Bailey fires a forearm! They go back and forth, shot for shot, faster and faster! The fans are fired up again, then Kyle SUPERKICKS! And HALF- NO, Bailey fights the lift and he trips Kyle! Then APRON KNEE-SAULT!! The fans are thunderous again while Kyle sputters!

“This is Awesome!” as Bailey rolls into the ring. Bailey waits on Kyle as Kyle crawls back inside. Kyle staggers to the corner, and Bailey HELLUVA KICKS! Bailey puts Kyle up, Kyle fights the Flamingo! But Bailey GAMANGIRIS! Bailey goes up top, and SUPER STEINERS! Kyle lands hard, Bailey goes up, and ULTIMO- BOOTS!! Kyle hits Bailey first, then scoops to LAWN DART in the corner! Then a lift, LAST RIDE POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO?!? Bailey survives and shocks everyone! Kyle hurries to get Bailey back up, but his own back fails him! The fans are thunderous for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” and Kyle roars!

Kyle stomps away on Bailey’s head and back! Kyle hobbles, but he snarls and brings Bailey back up. Bailey breaks free to CHOP! Bailey drops to a knee, Kyle brushes himself off, and Kyle CHOPS! Kyle eggs Bailey on, and fans again ignore the time limit as they hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” Bailey CHOPS! Kyle CHOPS! The fans rally up, and Bailey winds up, to CHOP! Kyle sputters and staggers and the fans are loving this! Bailey puts his hands back to dare Kyle to go again! Kyle SUPER- NO, Bailey swats that kick! Kyle avoids the thrust kick, swats the foot down, then BOOTS Bailey! SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF!

Kyle runs, but into a COLLISION COURSE!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle escapes, but Bailey runs up, PENALTY- NO! Kyle avoids the kick! And he avoids the moonsault! But Bailey escapes the lift! Then he slips around, crucifix to sunset, but Kyle rolls through to deadlift with both hands! Five minute warning! RAN- NO! Kyle stops the rana, lifts again, but Bailey RANAS through!! Cover, TWO!!! Kyle gets free, but PENALTY KICK! STANDING KNEE-SAULT!! The fans are thunderous and Bailey winds up, to BUZZSAW!! Cover, TWO!!! The fans are electric as Bailey winds up again. Kyle stands, into the TIME ADVENTURE!!! Cover, TWO?!?!?

Kyle survives Bailey’s best shot and no one can believe it! Bailey sees Kyle go to the corner, and he runs in, spin and- SUPERKICK from Kyle! Bailey flounders away, Kyle runs up, but into a THRUST KICK! Bailey spins, HEEL KICK! And he resets, DREAMCAST KICK in the corner! Kyle falls, Bailey climbs, ULTIMO WEAPON!!! Cover, TWO!?!?!? HOW?!?! Kyle has survived Bailey’s entire arsenal and Atlanta is erupting! Kyle flops out of the ring, Bailey takes aim from the apron, and he ULTIMO WEAPONS but only gets floor!!! Kyle hauls Bailey up, APRON POWERBOMB!! And then Kyle gets Bailey in the ring, GAMANGIRI in the corner!!

Then the SHEER DROP BRAINBUSTER!!! Cover, TWO?!?!?!? Now BAILEY shocks the world! Atlanta is on their feet as time is running out! Kyle puts Bailey up top, climbs after him, but Bailey SUPER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS!! But Kyle rolls through?! But Bailey rolls that back, TWO!?!?! Kyle swings, Bailey blocks! Bailey swings, Kyle blocks! They both swing and ROCK each other! Kyle guzels, Bailey breaks free, but Kyle LARIATS through! And then another suplex, but Bailey wrenches free! Bailey straitjackets Kyle, but Kyle BACKDROPS, only for Bailey to sunset flip! Last minute, BAILEY WINS!?!?!?

Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Kyle earns 0)

Literally a victory at the last minute! Kevin Knight rushes out here to celebrate with his friend and teammate this massive upset win over one of the best in the block! Kyle himself is absolutely stunned, but anything can happen in the C2! Will Speedball somehow make the comeback of the year? Or can Kyle course correct and still hit the mark?

 

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

Renee is with the Cowboy, and notes that tonight, it seems like Hell has frozen over as Hangman teamed with Swerve and won. What is next for him? What is next for Hangman is the thing that has always been “next” for him: The All Elite Wrestling Men’s World Championship. Joe, Eddie, Hangman will be watching the main event. But regardless of who leaves the champion tonight, at World’s End, Hangman is coming for them, and he is coming for HIS world championship. Then just who will The Cowboy be aiming for? We’re about to find out as that main event is moments away!

 

The Young Bucks speak.

Matt says, “So I guess it’s official then. Next week in Manchester, Don Callis Family VS The Young Bucks in Trios action, for ALL the money. The only problem is, uh, we need a partner.” Nick asks, “What do you say, big man? Huh?” Luchasaurus is there, and he thinks about it. He shakes his head and says, “Uh-uh.” Because he points to the door of KENNY OMEGA! Well, alright, good point. The Bucks knock on the door, Kenny answers, and he asks what’s up. They ask about doing this trios thing one more time. One more time? Well, there’s a lot of money on the line… Kenny says yeah, that is a lot of money.

But Kenny isn’t gonna do this for the money. This is about Don Callis and his “family,” so he’ll do it for free. Simple as that: The Elite VS The Don Callis Family, all the money on the line. So tune in, be there or be square. Kenny will bid you adieu and all that stuff. Until we meet in Manchester, goodbye, MWAH, and good, night, BANG! THE Elite, THE THE Elite, will ride again! But will they ride off into a Manchester sunset with both money and satisfaction? Or will The Jackal have everything he wants and more?

 

AEW World Championship: Samoa Joe w/ Hook VS Eddie Kingston!

It is the moment of truth! The Samoan Submission Machine doesn’t care about the man he was in everyone’s eyes, he only cares about being the man on top of the mountain. But will Joe stay at the peak through this harsh Winter? Or will The Mad King send him toppling back to the bottom?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see which king reigns in AEW!

The bell rings, the two circle, and they feel things out with testing kicks and jabs. The fans all rally behind Eddie as he and Joe tie up. Joe digs his wrist into Eddie’s face, puts him in the corner, but Eddie turns it around. The ref counts, Eddie backs off cleanly and the fans applaud. Joe and Eddie reset, circle, and feel things out again. They tie up collar ‘n’ elbow, Eddie headlocks, but Joe powers up and out. The fans cheer Eddie but Hook trips him up! The fans boo and Eddie protests, but the ref says he’s got this. The ref EJECTS the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil! The fans cheer and Hook storms off in a huff.

Eddie and Joe reset while the fans cheer “Hey hey hey, goodbye~!” Joe and Eddie tie up again, Eddie headlocks, but Joe powers up. Eddie holds on tight so Joe can’t power out! Joe fights up again, powers up and SAIDOS! Eddie tumbles to ropes and is already dazed from that throw. Joe waits on Eddie to stand, and then JABS him down! And JABS again! And JABS again! And again and again and again! Joe ELBOWS Eddie down, then stalks him to ropes. Joe bumps Eddie off buckles, but Eddie fires a body shot! Joe KNEES Eddie low, CLUBS away on Eddie’s neck, then stops as the ref counts. Joe whips corner to corner, but Eddie reverses to KNEE low!

Eddie then runs and BULLDOGS Joe down! The fans fire up as Eddie shakes out his arm and stalks Joe to a corner. Eddie snarls and fights through the pain while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Eddie storms up on Joe to CHOP! And CHOP! Eddie then cravats Joe, Joe endures, but Eddie puts on more pressure. Joe fights up but Eddie fires knees! Eddie then point-blank LARIATS Joe down! Eddie goes to a corner, but he comes back to clamp onto Joe with a neck wrench! Joe backs up to the ROPEBREAK! Eddie lets go quickly, and he brings Joe up to put him in the corner. Eddie RAMS Joe again and again, then CHOPS! Joe walks it off, then comes back to CHOP Eddie! Eddie CHPOS again! Joe CHOPS again! Eddie staggers to the ropes, but he nods and comes back to CHOP! Joe CHOPS again! The CHOPS go back and forth!

Eddie staggers, that last one got him up high. Joe brings Eddie around to fire forearms, then UPPERCUTS! Joe runs, but Eddie CHOPS him down! Now Joe is stinging from that one! Eddie shakes out his arms, then stalks Joe to a corner. Eddie clamps onto Joe, then throws down hands, Eddie CHOPS, Joe CHOPS, so Eddie CHOPS again! Eddie ROCKS Joe with a haymaker, then follows Joe to another corner. Eddie CHOPS, and Joe staggers before dropping to a knee. Dynamite returns to single picture once more, Eddie drags Joe up, and Eddie ROCKS him with a forearm! Joe ELBOWS Eddie, ROCKS him, but Eddie fires fast hands!

Eddie UPPERCUTS Joe and the fans fire up again! Joe tumbles to the ropes, Eddie storms up and KICKS him in the back! Eddie eggs Joe on while he kicks and scuffs him. Joe stands up to KICK and KICK and KICK in return! Eddie fires a flurry of forearms! Joe fires back! Eddie fires fast hands again! Then a SLAP! But Joe fires a furious flurry in return! Joe SMACKS Eddie, then runs, but into a LARIAT!! The fans are thunderous while Eddie leans on the ropes. The ref checks Eddie, Eddie is a bit dazed, but he’s otherwise still in this. Joe manages to stand, and Eddie runs in! But into the URENAGE! Joe wobbles a bit but he has a wry smile.

Joe waits for Eddie to be in the corner, and he runs up to ELBOW and PELE! Eddie slumps down, but Joe steps on him! The fans boo and the ref counts, but Joe scrubs Eddie’s face with his foot. Joe runs side to side to BOOT WASH! The fans boo while Eddie clutches his face. Eddie crawls to ropes, Joe sits on him to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Joe steps off at 4, and Eddie flounders around again. Joe stalks Eddie while the fans rally as hard as they can. Joe CHOPS and JABS Eddie, then HEADBUTTS him down! Eddie sputters but he sits back up. Joe drags Eddie up to ROCK him, ROCK him again, but Eddie CHOPS! Joe fires another forearm!

Eddie wobbles, but he fires up to CHOP, CHOP, and run, to LARIAT! But Joe is still up! Eddie runs again, another LARIAT! Joe is still standing, so Eddie runs, but into the SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Eddie survives the sudden turnaround and the fans rally up as hard as they can for him! Joe is annoyed by that, and he drags Eddie up to knee again and again! Eddie fires up to CHOP, CHOP, CHOP! But Joe fires more of those knees! Eddie roars to CHOP, CHOP, CHOP! Joe gives Kawada Kicks now! Eddie is dazed again, Joe runs, but into an EXPLODER!! Cover, TWO!!! Joe survives and Eddie is frustrated, but the fans continue to rally!

Eddie drags Joe up, reels him in, but Joe wrenches out! Joe fireman’s carries, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Then he turns Eddie over STF!! Joe is shouting out the Never-Seen Seventeen, and he even salutes! But Eddie BITES Joe’s hand!! Joe freaks out, the ref reprimands, but Eddie kicks low and DDTS! But Joe flops out of the ring! Joe survives perhaps on luck alone! Eddie hurries out after Joe, drags him up, and he puts Joe in the ring. Eddie hurries back in now, and he brings down the straps! The fans fire up for the URA- NO, Joe blocks the punch to HEADBUTT! Joe runs, but Eddie SWATS the lariat to CUTTER!

The fans fire up and Eddie winds up! URAK- NO, Joe ducks! COQUINA CLUTCH!!! Eddie is caught in the body scissors, too!! The fans rally as hard as they can, but Eddie is already fading! EDDIE TAPS!!! JOE WINS!!!

Winner: Samoa Joe, by submission (still AEW World Champion)

Eddie put up the fight of his life, but he sadly could not dethrone Samoa Joe! Was Joe right? Will Eddie never live up to his fullest potential? And as for Joe himself, Hangman already said he’s coming back for this title. Will they go one more round at World’s End?


My Thoughts:

An awesome Winter is Coming for Dynamite, they pulled out all the stops to make this borderline a free PPV. The Women’s Tag Team Championships opening was the right choice, that was awesome stuff from all four women. Truly awesome for Harley & Willow to win and be the inaugural champions. I loved their little celebration backstage with Conglomeration and pouty Roddy, too, that was a nice touch. And of course, awesome stuff in both Continental Classic matches we got tonight. Bailey VS Fletcher was itself PPV worthy, and I did NOT think Bailey was winning, so that is awesome in itself.

Okada VS Perry was about how I expected, though, and I appreciate it feeding into the larger Don Callis Family VS Elite story. Jack turning DCF down was good stuff, and I liked that the Bucks got the money back, but of course Callis wasn’t going to just accept that. Don Callis foolishly thinking Okada and Takeshita are still going to work together is a dead giveaway his team is losing, but so is the fact Kenny Omega is the third man. The Elite will win, have the money, and could even make this a resurgence towards titles. If that were to happen, it should be the Trios titles so they can feud with The Opps while DCF and Death Riders act on the feuds they teased.

Swerve & Hangman VS Shibata & Hobbs was a great tornado tag, though obviously it was more a glorified brawl that then turned into a match. Great win for Hangman & Swerve, and of course Hangman wants his shot next, but I feel like he and Swerve will end up literally fighting over that shot. I thought the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal was gonna be the route, but maybe neither of them wins that, someone else is poised for Maximum Carnage, and we still get Joe VS Hangman in 2025 Round 3 to determine who also goes to Maximum Carnage. Also, I’m very curious if MJF is going to return for the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal to retain the one thing he’s always had while in AEW. Personally, even if he does return, he should lose so that someone else can finally have that ring.

Though MJF would of course want to come back for revenge on Mark Briscoe, wouldn’t he? Briscoe had a very good promo with Garcia to hype up their TNT Championship match this Saturday. Moxley and Garcia also had a good promo beforehand, and I feel like we’re just one more loss away for Moxley’s leadership to be truly in question. If Moxley doesn’t win the C2, him having to fight for his leadership role in the faction he helped make would be a great part of World’s End. Either Claudio or Pac should step up to be the new leader if that happens, they’re the experienced veterans and can certainly give Moxley one hell of a match.

Joe VS Eddie was definitely one hell of a match, too, but it felt pretty clear that Eddie wasn’t winning. As much as fans rally like Eddie, it just doesn’t seem to be Eddie’s time to be AEW World Champion. At this point, I think the story needs to be Eddie and Hook having it out over how Hook betrayed Eddie as much as he did everyone else. Even if Eddie doesn’t want to, I could see Hook egging him on and beating him up until Eddie has no choice but to fight Hook and maybe humble him, if only for a moment. If Eddie isn’t going to be a world champion, he’ll be a guy who does great story and teaches life lessons.

My Score: 9.2/10

AEW Coverage

Mitchell’s AEW Continental Classic Standings! (12/7/25)

Week 2 Update!

Published

on

Who stayed hot to start December?

The Continental Classic is getting complicated with the staggered schedule. But did winners keep on winning? Did losers keep on losing?

 

Here are the current Gold League standings!

  • Kyle Fletcher: 2-0, 6 points
  • Kazuchika Okada: 1-1, 3 points
  • PAC: 1-1, 3 points
  • Kevin Knight: 1-1, 3 points
  • “Speedball” Mike Bailey: 0-1, 0 points
  • Darby Allin: 0-1, 0 points [INJURED] Subbing: “Jungle” Jack Perry

 

Here are the current Blue League standings!

  • Claudio Castaganoli: 2-1, 6 points
  • Konosuke Takeshita: 2-0, 6 points
  • Jon Moxley: 1-2, 3 points
  • Orange Cassidy: 1-1, 3 points
  • Mascara Dorada: 1-1, 3 points
  • Roderick Strong: 0-2, 0 points

 

A real shame about Darby Allin, but that’s assuming this is real and not kayfabe for the story. Jack Perry is a good choice for subbing him in since he’s feuding with the Don Callis Family alongside the newly reunited Elite. And great upset win for Dorada over Claudio this week, too. Claudio and Moxley have already had three of their five matches, they might be given a week off so Jack Perry and Mike Bailey can get their matches in, and I would also hope the Death Riders start considering their options given Moxley keeps losing more than he’s winning.
