Best Friends better be ready, because we all just saw the Best Bout Machine and the Problem Solver prove ring rust means nothing to them! Will Fyter Fest be the biggest fight of the champions’ reign?
AEW has big news for Fyter Fest!
Don’t have the money for a PPV? Don’t have a subscription to B/R Live? No problem! Fyter Fest will be a two-night televised event as part of AEW Dynamite! Wednesday, July 1st, and Wednesday, July 8th, will be AEW Fyter Fest 2020, and all the titles will be on the line! The Summer just got even hotter!
Tully Blanchard works to motivate Shawn Spears.
As seen on AEW’s YouTube today, the living legend gives a passionate speech. “What do you want your legacy to be?!” Does he want title belts for his kids to hold up proudly and say, “This is what my dad won!” If Spears doesn’t change something in his heart, that will NEVER happen! But then, later that day, Tully presented Spears with something. The #SearchForSpears is over. Here is the missing piece right here. Tully opens a case and reveals… A glove? Spears puts the glove on, and likes how it feels. But what will a simple addition to his wardrobe do for #PERFECT10N?
Brian Cage w/ Taz VS Shawn Dean!
“Who can stop the Path of Cage?” The answer has yet to be found, but can The Captain at least find a way to slow him down?
The bell rings and Cage immediately tackles Dean to a corner! And rams him in and over again! Cage wrenches and reels Dean into an OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Taz loves what he sees as Cage drags Dean back up. Cage whips and POSTS Dean, then brings him out for a pump handle DRIVER! Cage looms over Dean as Dean goes to the apron.

Cover, Cage wins!
Winner: Brian Cage, by pinfall
The Machine barely broke a sweat. Taz gets a mic to speak. “So here’s the deal. I’ll pull the curtain back a little bit for you.” Taz and Cage were talking, and thinking about Dynamite from last week when Cage was dominant again. But Jon Moxley heard what Taz said what happens at Fyter Fest with the title on the line. Mox had the audacity to laugh as Taz was talking about the Machine kicking the living sh*t out of him. “We don’t play games, Mox” This is not a joke or a game. Moxley needs to get his head on right, or it’ll get taken off! That is Brian Cage! That is the Machine! Beat him if you can. Survive, if he lets you. But wait, here comes Moxley! The AEW World Champion marches in from the stands and heads right for ringside.
Moxley grabs himself a mic before getting in the ring with Taz and Cage, but Taz warns Moxley. Think and be careful. Moxley still enters the ring and says, “This is fun.” But Taz, the reason Moxley was smiling last week and tonight is the thought of stepping into the ring with “that level of intensity, with that level of aggression, and going to absolute war.” That makes him happy. It’s why he’s in this business. But Taz and Cage should be clear that stepping into the ring with Mox with the title on the line is the farthest thing from a game. Cage is impressive. Cage is a machine that is seemingly indestructible. Moxley is human, he can be beat. But it will take all night long to do it!
Taz is right that Cage is a different thing entirely. But Moxley is a different thing entirely. Taking the title from Moxley is a different prospect entirely, and you will learn that at Fyter Fest when you realize you’re swimming with a different breed of shark! So all due respect, gentlemen, don’t waste time trying to intimidate him. And the next time you say his name on live television, just remember who the hell you’re talking about! Are we in for the nastiest fight in all of wrestling with Fyter Fest?
AEW Media finds Lance Archer and Jake The Snake Roberts.
They’re on some random patch of land outside Daily’s Place, and the Murderhawk Monster is all but mauling a masked wrestler! Archer finishes the guy off by throwing him into construction pylons and barriers. So AEW wants to know what Archer’s been up to since Double or Nothing? DO you think that one loss means anything to him? After 20 years in this business, there is not one person in AEW that will stop him! He is no spot monkey, he is a MONSTER! If you want to know what a monster is about, he will show you pain and torture like you’ve never experienced before! #EverybodyDies, and he means that! Even Jake the Snake says Alex Marvez is lucky to be spared. Who won’t be on Archer’s hit list after his loss in the TNT Championship Tournament Finals?
Matt Hardy visits Private Party.
Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy drink to get over that Six Man Tag loss, but are shocked to see the tag team icon checking in on them. How’s the knee? Y’know, it’s doing alright. Quen shows off his dance moves, so clearly it’s more than alright. But Hardy wants to let them know that he enjoyed that match last week. Private Party is the future of tag team wrestling. So to share something, Private Party’s bond reminds him of his bond with his brother, Jeff. OH WOW! But a lot of guys helped the Hardy Boys, so Matt wants to help them. Oh they are so ready for that! Private Party wants to Hardy Party. That’s catchy. Knew it! Hardy loves the enthusiasm, so just hit him up.
Hardy heads out and crosses paths with Sammy Guevara on his scooter. Hardy says they’re cool now. #Respect. Hardy continues past Sammy, but is everything cool from Sammy’s side of things?
AEW shares the fallout of the Jericho-Tyson confrontation.
Every sports and entertainment news outlet exploded with reactions to the Inner Circle’s pep rally being crashed by “Iron” Mike Tyson and his crew. Tyson himself warns us that this is not over! “I’m coming back and Jericho’s gonna get his ass kicked!” Jericho was furious in his own right, but his fury was then directed at Colt Cabana when Cabana just wanted him to calm down. Le Champion looks to teach Cabana and lesson and send Tyson a message, tonight!
Chris Jericho VS Colt Cabana!
The bell rings and Jericho tells Cabana to mind his own business. Jericho shoves Cabana but Cabana fires off punches and stomps! Jericho rakes Cabana’s eyes and throws hands on him in the corner. The ref backs Jericho off but Jericho comes back, showing off his boxing hands. But then Cabana DECKS him! And CHOPS him! And punches away to then whip him out of the ring! Jericho staggers up but Cabana CHOPS him again! And headlock punches him, and clubs him to the ring. Jake Hager is upset but has to keep his distance. Cabana dodges Jericho and ASAIS onto Jericho and Hager!
Cabana high fives the crowd and wipes the blood from his lip. He brings Jericho up for more punches and body shots, then bumps him off the timekeeper’s desk. Jericho hits back but Cabana put shim in the ring. Jericho pleads with the ref, and Hager POSTS Cabana! The crowd boos but Big Hurt gets away with that one. Hager and Sammy cheers while Cabana is down, and AEW goes to break.
AEW returns and Jericho kicks Cabana between the ropes. HE stalks Cabana to a corner and digs his knee in. The ref counts, Jericho lets off, but Jericho grins while the crowd rallies for Cabana. Jericho throws hands on Cabana to keep him down, then slaps him around. Cabana SLAPS back! Cabana CHOPS and forearms, but Jericho kicks low to whip. Jericho elbows Cabana down then covers, TWO! Hager tells Cabana to stay down but Jericho brings Cabana up. Jericho bumps Cabana off buckles and throws more haymakers. Cabana pushes Jericho away then punches and CHOPS back!

Cabana dodges and JABS! JAB! Flip flop ‘n’ fly for the BIONIC ELBOW! Jericho is up and Cabana runs in,. FLYING APPLE! Jericho is down, Cabana is up, SUPERMAN SPLASH! Cover, TWO!!

Another elbow, Superman Clutch, but Jericho makes it the WALLS! Cabana endures as Jericho sits deep, but Cabana powers his way over, to get the ROPEBREAK! Jericho lets go, thinking he won. The referee explains he didn’t, and he’s upset. Jericho runs, into Cabana’s CHOPS!
Cabana runs, tilt-o-whirls and huricanranas Jericho to a corner! Corner clothesline and then Cabana hoists Jericho up top! Cabana climbs, SUPER STEINER! Cover, TWO!! Jericho still lives but Cabana won’t let up! La Magistrol, TWO! Cabana CHOPS and whips, but Jericho reverses. Cabana goes up and around, into JUDAS EFFECT!! Cover, Jericho wins!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall
The Inner Circle shrugs off the bad week they’ve been having, and then he says, “All of you can shut your ass and address Le Champion with respect.” The crowd only boos harder as Jericho says we saw what happened to Cabana. That’ll happen to Iron Mike, “that piece of sh*t!” The most talked about event in sports history happened in this ring last week, and Tyson VS Jericho is the fight everyone wants to see. Jericho wants it, he is ready. He can taste Cabana’s blood on his fist, now he wants to taste the blood of Tyson when he shoves Tyson’s head up his own ass! Jericho won’t wait for next week, next PPV or next Christmas. He wants Tyson here and now! Jericho is calling out “the baddest man on the planet!” Le Champion is waiting for Tyson! Where’s the baddest man on the planet?! Jericho’s right here, so where’s Tyson?! Is Tyson scared?!
But instead of Iron Mike, he gets Freshly Squeezed! The Sloth gets in the ring and steps to Jericho for the beating Proud ‘n’ Powerful gave him. And he makes Jericho put his hands in his… well, his belt. And then Orange Cassidy puts his hands in his pockets! Hager swings on Cassidy but Cassidy dodges! Cassidy dodges Jericho, then bails out of the ring! Best Friends help Cassidy up and over the railing, and Santana and Ortiz hurry out. The Inner Circle wants after Tyson, but now they have eyes on Cassidy, Trent and Chuckie T! Will they get their hands on all their enemies as the Summer rolls in?
AEW checks in on Britt Baker.
The Role Model rehabs her injured leg and keeps up with her general cardio, but with a far more reduced level of intensity. Plus, Rebel is there to help her with a lot of the heavy lifting. Even Tony Schiavone is cheering her on. Will the Role Model stay on a roll and be ready for All Out in September?
Nyla Rose VS Big Swole!
The Native Beast lost the AEW Women’s World Championship at Double Or Nothing, but with all titles on the line at Fyter Fest, there’s always a chance at redemption. But Aerial Monroe is hungry for her first chance, will she be able to get past Nyla to head for Fyter Fest?
The bell rings and the crowd is on Swole’s side. Swole flexes and dodges Nyla, then waistlocks. Nyla elbows but Swole keeps out of reach. Swole headlocks but Nyla throws body shots. Nyla powers out but Swole dodges to get the headlock back! Nyla denies the takedown with power, but Swole throws elbows. Swole tries again but can’t throw Nyla down.

Hikaru Shida was watching from the crowd, and she saw for herself that the Native Beast hasn’t lost a step just because she lost the title. Will Nyla be the one to step to the champion for Fyter Fest?
Ringside interview with Big Swole.
Having months off, she still came back with a great fight for Nyla. It is good to be back, and Swole has been re-centered. It doesn’t matter that she lost, because she’s got the fans and her peers behind her. Wait, Britt is making a fuss about Rebel backing the cart up. The “Role’s Royce” RAMS the railing?! Britt gets at Swole for saying she’s the fan favorite. Swole takes offense, and grabs a chair! Britt freaks out and has Rebel drive away in retreat. But they crash into other railing on that side! Swole throws the chair at the cart and dares Britt to come get some. Will Swole get after The Dentist the second she can compete in the ring?
Backstage interview with Darby Allin.
One of the toughest ever in the ring never lets an injury from keeping him out, but this time, the doctors have said Darby cannot get in the ring. Going back to Double Or Nothing’s Casino Ladder Match, does Darby think Brian Cage’s focus on him has anything to do with Darby rejecting Taz’s help? “Life’s one big joke.” But Darby vows to get the last laugh. When and where will Darby look to spring the punchline on Taz and The Machine?
Tony Schiavone interviews #FTR.
Tony is very honored to have the first exclusive sit-down with Wheeler and Harwood, who arrived a week ago to confront the biggest names in the AEW Tag Team Division. The obvious question must be asked: What does FTR stand for? Well there are a lot of things. It is not a tagline that can just be served out. It is a way of life. It is anything that you want it to stand for. Fear The Revolution, Follow The Rules, just something that took a life of its own. They are here, the pinnacle of the wrestling revolution! So right now, think of it as Wheeler and Harwood being For The Revolution. Yes, AEW has the world’s greatest tag teams now. So there must be a list of dream matches, right? Yes, they’ve thought about this for a year and a half now. Despite what happened last week, FTR will give The Butcher & The Blade their due respect. Private Party are great kids, Proud ‘n’ Powerful have been all over, and now they’re all under the same roof.
The same goes for the Lucha Brothers, Pentagon & Rey Fenix. They’re the exact opposite of how FTR wrestles, so Wheeler & Harwood will teach them real tag team wrestling! And of course, the AEW World Tag Team Champions, Kenny Omega & Hangman Page, even though that’s not a “real” tag team. That is the ultimate goal all the same. But what about the Young Bucks? They’re what tag team wrestling is all about. Well of course. That is the “dream match” to all the fans, but it isn’t one to FTR. Wheeler & Harwood had to sit back and watch the Bucks be gifted “Tag Team of the Decade,” and had to listen to Dave Meltzer sing their praises as “the next Midnight Express.” Do you think that makes FTR happy? Do you think they enjoy all this? They don’t! They don’t want to come in and have the greatest tag team match ever with The Bucks, they want to punch the Bucks in the mouths.
Well then why didn’t FTR brawl with The Bucks after clearing out Butcher & Blade? FTR has dreamed about this moment for five years. You can’t say one team’s name without the other’s. Everyone wonders who is better. And when it comes to finally having it out, FTR doesn’t want there to be any excuse. “Oh~, they were softened up, they were injured, they had a bad back.” FTR wants The Young Bucks to be healthy, to be in the best shape of their lives, so they can beat them. FTR wants commentary to then come to them and apologize for the last year and a half. Tony is sure whatever happens, it will be amazing. Tony thanks them for this time, and has to admit, this whole time he thought FTR stood for… Well, can they say it here? “F*** The Revival.” Well of course people would think that.
Whoa, here come Butcher and Blade! Andy Williams and Braxton Sutter are furious to say the least, and accuse FTR of thinking they’re all tough and what not. Security rushes in to keep another brawl from happening. FTR says it was nothing personal. That was business. FTR are businessmen. But if you want to make it personal, let’s settle this in the ring. And then Cash splashes water at Blade! “See you next week! FTR, out!” But will FTR be able to handle their business against a furious pair of cutthroats?
AEW sets up for another big episode!
After losing to Le Champion, Colt Cabana tries his luck against the Spanish God! Cabana VS Guevara is coming! The Open Challenge Cody Rhodes has put for the TNT Championship has already been answered, by Private Party’s Marq Quen! But the question will be, who does Quen face after the main event of Cody VS Jungle Boy? And as we saw, FTR challenged Butcher & Blade, and that match is happening to give Wheeler & Harwood their in-ring debuts! Plus, after the confrontation between Cassidy and the Inner Circle, he and the Best Friends take on Jake Hager, Santana & Ortiz in Six Man Tag action! Has a new war in AEW just begun? And don’t miss Jon Moxley’s return to in-ring action, on AEW DARK!
Backstage interview with Colt Cabana.
His most impressive AEW performance yet in a loss to Chris Jericho, but that’s why Cabana is here. He’s shown he can hang with the big guys in the spotlight. But those big victories are hanging over his head. He couldn’t beat Lance Archer, he couldn’t beat Chris Jericho, and… Mr. Brodie Lee walks in with his Dark Order spokesman. “Loss is a part of life, Colt. We’ve all suffered losses, but without losses, we don’t grow.” It is what you do after a loss that defines you. And Brodie can help Cabana. The spokesman gives Cabana a bottle of water, and asks he simply consider it. Cabana says he doesn’t want to #JoinDarkOrder, but he does drink the water. But if things get worse, will Cabana soon be drinking the Kool-Aid?
AEW TNT Championship: Cody Rhodes VS Jungle Boy!
The American Nightmare overcame the odds and won this title at Double Or Nothing! But once again, Cody puts so much pressure on himself to be THE workhorse of AEW, promising to wrestle week after week after week, all in TNT Championship defenses! Will he stumble right out of the gate and give Jungle Jack Perry the biggest moment of his career? Or will Cody prove that he is the leader AEW deserves?
AEW returns as Cody makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and history is being made again! Cody and JB circle and test the waters with the lunges.

They stand up, JB throws body shots and powers out. Cody runs JB over then keeps going, and things speed up. JB hurdles, runs and huricanranas! Cody gets up but JB rolls him up, TWO! JB keeps close and gets another cover, TWO!
JB goes to a corner, dodges Cody and CHOPS back! And again! Cody turns things around to forearm and CHOP right back! JB forearms., Cody forearms and he sits JB down. Cody drags JB up by a wrist and wrenches hard before whipping corner to corner. JB reverses, runs in but slides under as Cody goes up and over. JB turns around to run into the spinning poerslam! Cover, TWO! Cody keeps on JB to try again, ONE! Cody keeps his cool as the crowd rallies up. He goes to the ropes to springboard and stomp JB’s legs. Cody stomps the legs more, then gets the Figure Four! JB endures the legendary leg lock, but has to keep his shoulders up. Cody cranks but JB crawls, and JB gets the ropebreak! Cody lets go at 4, and JB gets to the apron. Cody grits his teeth as he runs to triangle jump! JB avoids the kick to then springboard and TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO!! JB tries again, TWO!
Cody crawls to the apron now but JB runs and DIVES! Direct hit sends Cody into barriers but JB keeps going! DIVE, but Cody catches him! Cody SWINGS Jb into the Gunn Club! Billy and Austin can’t believe Cody’s aggression as Cody goes for the timekeeper’s table, but AEW goes to break.
AEW returns once again, and JB flops out of the ring. Cody goes out to fetch JB and headbutts him! JB staggers to the stage, and dodges the second headbutt! Cody hits the wall! Cody staggers and JB shakes out the cobwebs. JB tells MJF to shut up as MJF mouths off about JB not deserving this shot at Cody and the title. MJF calls JB a joke, but JB taunts back, “How’s the chest?” MJF takes off his scarf and jacket but JB leaves him where he is. JB goes back to Cody, who is BLEEDING from hitting his head right into the stage! JB is shocked to see that, but he still gets Cody into the ring. The ref checks on Cody but Cody doesn’t want to stop. JB runs in to forearm and punch away on the wound! The ref backs JB off but JB runs back in. Cody puts JB into buckles then tosses him away! But JB returns to shotgun dropkick and inside cradle! TWO, but JB waistlocks to O’Conner roll! TWO, and Cody BOOTS JB down!
Cody flounders with the blood getting in one eye. Cody crawls over to where he left JB but gets to his feet instead. He drags JB up and whips, but JB comes back with a LARIAT! Cover, TWO!! Cody survives but JB is right on him. JB traps the arms and rains down rights! Cody pushes JB away but JB hurries back. JB goes to the corner, climbs up top, but Cody dropkicks him first!

JB climbs up to join Cody now but Cody fights back. Cody brings JB up but JB fights. The two teeter, and they fall down through the table!! Arn Anderson is speechless while the ref and medic check on both men. “This is Awesome!” but can either continue? Cody stirs but so does JB. Cody drags JB from the wreckage, wanting this to end in the ring. He puts JB inside and has to shoulder into JB. Cody slingshots to sunset flip but JB sits on it! TWO!! JB swings into the dragon sleeper, the CROSS RHODES!! Cover, Cody wins!!
Winner: Cody Rhodes, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Nightmare Family and Jurassic Express head out to check on both their men. Cody clears the first hurdle of his own challenge, and he helps JB to his feet. Will Jungle Boy be back for a second chance at this title? Will Marq Quen be the one to take the gold? Or will Cody carry this title until the wheels fall off?
My Thoughts:
An incredible episode book-ended by great title matches. The AEW World Tag Team Championship match was really good, and a great return to form for Omega and Hangman as a duo. There’s no more dysfunction thanks to the Stadium Stampede, but it’s obviously of note that the Tag Division as a whole is just getting stronger every week. FTR had a really good interview promo with Tony Schiavone, and I love how they spun the story with the Young Bucks. Their in-ring debut against Butcher & Blade next week will be great, and I’m sure the dream-not-dream match of FTR VS Bucks will be for All out, and will be just insane. And of course, Omega & Page VS Best Friends for Fyter Fest will be great, too, but too close to call at this point. Best Friends & Orange Cassidy being next for Inner Circle while there’s also Jericho VS Tyson coming on the side is also great. I would love if Tyson became an honorary Best Friend by helping them against The Inner Circle.
Also, I love that Fyter Fest isn’t just a free PPV online, it is a free two episode special for Dynamite! This will give us the same four hours of action, but with some room to breathe for viewers. Having all the titles on the line is basically standard, so it’s good to know that the next month is going to be build towards the event. Nyla VS Swole was really good, but it makes some sense for Nyla to win. Losing one match doesn’t change that Nyla is still a monster and can easily come back for that belt. Britt has a hilarious cheesy vignette and an equally goofy attempt at getting after Swole. I really hope Britt VS Swole is what we get for All Out, that’ll be a great return match for Britt, but it should also result in Swole getting a big win. An obnoxious Heel is only as good as the comeuppance they get, and that’d be the perfect time for Britt to get hers.
Taz and Moxley had a great promo battle that was better than Cage squashing Shawn Dean. Moxley VS Cage is going to be incredible and I hope it goes for half an hour on Night 2. Jericho has a great promo calling out Tyson, has a great match with Cabana, and Cabana’s story with the Dark Order is definitely going places. Cody VS Jungle Boy was also incredible, and it definitely raises JB’s level even in losing. I’m surprised the next challenger is Marq Quen given he’s a tag team wrestler, but I suppose that’s not always a limitation. This will give Quen a great spotlight of his own, but I’m thinking Cody wins. I feel like MJF is going to get fed up watching Cody beat other wrestlers and he’ll demand to be the Fyter Fest challenge. Then Cody will finally get the win on MJF that he wanted at AEW Revolution.
My Score: 9.3/10

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!
Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles. Not only that, but it is against the three men that won that $300,000 Rampage Holiday Bash battle royal back in 2022. Will the Death Riders continue their reign of terror? Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!
The trios sort out, and The Decoder starts against Darius Martin. The fans rally up as the bell rings. Yuta and Darius circle, tie up, and Yuta wrenches to a hammerlock. Darius reaches back to headlock, then he chinbars into a cravat. Yuta spins through to trip Darius and has a toehold. Darius endures while fans rally. Darius turns over, reels Yuta in and headlocks back. Yuta brings Darius to his knees, then waistlocks. Darius switches and SLAMS Yuta, then floats to turn Yuta over for a cover. ONE, and Darius avoids a leg sweep to headlock. Yuta powers up and out, Darius goes up and over, then Darius arm-drags Yuta!
Yuta gets up, Darius DROPKICKS him, and Omaha cheers. The fans cheer, Darius CHOPS, then he tags in Dante. Darius whips, Yuta reverses, but Darius rolls off Yuta’s back. Darius SOBATS, Dante sweeps, and Darius DOUBLE STOMPS! Dante covers, ONE, but Dante wrenches to wristlock. Yuta pulls hair to put Dante in the corner, and Claudio tags in.

Claudio flails to stay up, and he drags Dante right up to his feet! Dante dodges, and he fires forearms!
Dante fires more shots but Claudio shoves him away. Dante dodges, ROCKS Claudio, but Claudio returns to CLOBBER Dante! The fans are torn but Pac applauds. Claudio fires body shots, then UPPERCUTS. Claudio pie faces Dante, whips corner to corner hard, then runs up, but into a BOOT! Claudio just comes back, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI! Dante goes up and up and RANA! Not the cleanest but Claudio still tumbles out. Claudio hurries back in, tag to Pac. Pac RAMS Dante, then slingshots up and over. Pac keeps moving, but Dante CLOBBERS him! Tag to Fox and he LARIATS Pac! And goes Matrix to then PELE!
The fans fire up for Fox and he has Pac. Fox whips, Pac reverses, but Fox stops himself. Yuta runs up but Fox TOSSES him! Pac runs up, Fox puts him on the apron and sweeps the legs. Pac is on the apron, Fox builds speed, just to slingshot STOMP Pac on the apron! Then he CANNONBALLS Yuta! But Claudio runs up to BOOT Fox down! The fans boo, Top Flight protests, but Claudio deadlifts Fox into the ring! Pac storms in and stomps Fox around. Pac drags Fox up, bumps him off buckles hard, then tags Claudio. They mug Fox, Claudio ROCKS Fox, and then drags Fox up. Fox tries to power forward but Claudio keeps him back!
Claudio powers Fox back, he tags Yuta in, and they mug Fox more. Yuta stands Fox up to reel him in, and he snap suplexes! Cover, ONE!! Fox stays in this but Yuta stays on him. Fox JAWBREAKERS free, goes Matrix again, hot tag to Darius! Darius CLOBBERS Yuta, BLASTS Pac, then BOOTS Yuta! Darius keeps moving, HOTSHOT BULLDOG DROPKICK COMBO! Then Darius GAMANGIRIS Yuta, steps in and COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Claudio breaks it! Dante CANNONBALLS Claudio! Pac TOSSES Dante out, the ref reprimands him, but that lets Yuta CLAW Darius’ eyes! The fans boo but Yuta hits a PAIN THRILLER! Cover, TWO!
Yuta is annoyed but he keeps Darius down with a wristlock, and mockingly claps hands, while Collision goes picture in picture.
Yuta drags Darius up, bumps him off buckles, then tags Pac. Pac stomps Darius down, kicks him around, then kicks Darius in the side! Pac stays between Darius and his team, taunts him, but Darius fires body shots. Darius UPPERCUTS, but Pac KICKS him down! Pac taunts the fans, then brings him up.

The fans boo, more refs rush out here, but The Cru has already choked out Darius & Dante! Will this be the end of this animosity? Or have Lio & Action only put themselves back on Top Flight’s radar?
BREAKING NEWS for April!
Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-

They both stand, Mortos HEADBUTTS Hologram down! The fans fire up, then Mortos runs to sunset flip! Hologram rolls through, Komander tags in, and Komander springboards to SPLASH! Komander bounces off the cover, comes back and tilt-o-whirl RANAAS! Mortos flounders away, Dralistico tags in. Mortos BOOTS Komander, Dralistico springboards but Komander dodges. Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!
Dralistico runs back in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Harley says this is “Luchamazing!” Dralistico fires up, runs up, but Komander blocks! Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend. Harley says she forgot, but she’s gotta go, she’ll be back. Harley hops off commentary, who is she going to call?
Komander puts Dralistico on the apron but Dralistico mule kicks Hologram! Dralistico dodges Komander’s tiger feint kick, and Komander ends up on the apron. Mortos runs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up! Fans lose their minds, Harley scampers off, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mortos drags Hologram up, SMACKS him back down, and Dralistico sends Komander into railing! Then Dralistico drags Komander up, RAILING BACKBREAKER! Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref. Dralistico then drags Komander up, brings him around, and whips him to ropes. Dralistico ELBOWS Komander down, tags in Mortos, and Mortos fires up. Mortos NECK TWISTS Komander! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!
Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!
Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here! And suspiciously wearing gear just like Harley’s. Dralistico TOSSES Hologram in just for fun, then stands him up to CHOP! Dralistico runs at Komander in the other corner, but Komander breaks free! Slam Dunk Sunday returns to single picture as Dralistico hits buckles! Hologram runs in and LARIATS! Komander SUPERKICKS! Komander feeds Dralistico to Hologram’s SPANISH FLY!

Dralistico climbs up after Komander, fires shots, but Komander fires back! They go back and forth, even with CHOPS! Dralistico fires HEADBUTT after HEADBUTT, then brings Komander up! SUPER- NO, Komander slips free and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up again as Komander roars! Komander runs and goes up, up, and SUPER POISON-RANAS!! The fans are thunderous again, but Mortos scoops Komander!
Mortos hits the BEAST BREAKER!! Then he runs to FLYING ELBOW! Hologram runs in and goes up, then up to POISON-RANA! But Dralistico FLYING CRUCIFIX DRIVERS!!

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall
A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?
My Thoughts:
A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.
Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.
And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.
My Score: 8.8/10

Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Slam Dunk Saturday returns and Platinum Max is already in the ring. He has the mic to tell Omaha, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that claim given Caster is 0-5 at his own challenge. But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man. He has a packed schedule, unlike his former tag team partner… The fans chant, “We Want Bowens!” but Caster says he has some news for us: Bowens ain’t here, and he ain’t coming back, cuz Caster ran his ass outta AEW! The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges. Caster cartwheels, cheers himself on, but then Hook trips Caster up! The fans cheer, and Hook clamps on REDRUM!! Caster TAPS, Hook wins!
Winner: Hook, by submission
Well, now it’s 0-6. Will Caster ever realize he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?
Julia Hart VS Queen Aminata!
The bell rings and Aminata circles with Hart. They tie up, Aminata waistlocks, then lifts, but Hart goes for a victory roll. Aminata stuffs that into a cover of her own, TWO!!

Aminata doesn’t sweat it as she brings Hart around and clamps on with a chinlock. Hart endures, even as Aminata squeezes tight. Hart fights up, but Aminata wrangles her right back down. Aminata then shifts into a CROSSFACE! Hart endures, Aminata twists Hart’s nose, but the ref reprimands so Aminata stops.

Winner: Julia Hart, by pinfall
The tiebreaker goes to Julia, and Aminata is stunned! If the Hart Always Wins, will she make her way back to a championship? Will Aminata decide to take Deeb up on her teachings now?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match. So I don’t really see the point of us discussing the romantic capabilities of a beast, y’know?”
Lexy says yeah, but uh, isn’t “Harley-gram” just Harley? NO, FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs off, but will Harley be able to focus on her match with Mortos around? Will Mortos be able to focus on his match with Harley around?
Six Man Tag: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero VS The Don Callis Family!
While the Book of Hobbs is stuck on a chapter involving the Don Callis Family, he has decided to conglomerate with the Sussex County Chicken & Azucar! Will Briscoe & Rocky help Hobbs get through the “writer’s block?” Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer make sure #EverybodyDies?
The trios sort out and Briscoe starts against Konosuke. Don Callis is on commentary and Schiavone is sure he is not in a good mood over his guy, Mark Davis, missing out on the International Championship. Callis focuses instead on the Six Man Tag, and his “three physical freaks” of the Callis Family. Briscoe and Konosuke tie up, Briscoe headlocks, and Omaha rallies for #DemBoys. Konosuke powers up and out, Briscoe RAMS him, but Konosuke comes back to run Briscoe over! Things keep moving, Konosuke bypasses Briscoe but Briscoe slides under. Briscoe springs up to hit the crane stance! Callis says that is disrespectful!
Konosuke blocks the crane kick, spins Briscoe around, and back suplexes, only for Briscoe to land out. Konosuke kicks low, whips Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe goes up and out. Briscoe eggs Konosuke on, then counters the punch with a REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUT! Briscoe climbs, aims, and leaps, but Konosuke BODY BLOWS the ax handle down! The fans boo but Konosuke stands Briscoe up. Konosuke whips Briscoe to the Callis corner, but Briscoe BOOTS Archer down! The fans fire up but Cage grabs Briscoe. Konosuke runs up, but Briscoe slips free, so Konosuke DECKS Cage! The fans fire up and Briscoe kicks low.

Cover, Don Callis Family wins!
Winners: The Don Callis family, by pinfall
Omaha was served up some meat and chicken with sugar on top, but the Don Callis Family ate it all! Will this win help Konosuke head back for a title opportunity in time for Dynasty? Will Hobbs at least be allowed to move on from the Don Callis Family?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here for just the first half of the Slam Dunk Weekend, as recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. I kinda like Collision being just one hour, but obviously they’ll go back to two hours on one night next week. Opening with the TNT Championship was quite the surprise, but that did help it go the full 20 minutes, which was a particularly clever move here. Garcia keeps the title but Cole was very close, so maybe we get a third match where they extend or completely do away with the time limit to get a definitive winner. And at that point, I would think Adam Cole wins to finally have a singles title in AEW.
Good stuff in Caster again losing his own Open Challenge. Good win for Hook as it’s been a minute since he’s had a singles match. With Caster harping on Bowens being absent, this really needs to culminate with Bowens answering the challenge, winning that first time, but then Caster wanting a rematch. Then that match will be awesome stuff, but still ultimately won by Bowens to get it in Caster’s head that he can’t just say he’s the Best Wrestler Alive and put it on a piece of paper. Then we can see Caster take his character in another direction, maybe do some soul searching. Or more likely, just double down and be even more insufferable.
Very good match for Hart VS Aminata 3, hard to say if it was that much better than the previous, but Hart winning makes sense with Aminata VS Deeb still needing to happen. A shame the Aminata-Deeb feud had to build in the background of the Aminata-Hart feud, but it’s not like they could do more on a week to week basis. Unless… Well, snark aside, Aminata will surely take Deeb up on at least that Pure Rules match for a first-time-ever in the Women’s Division, and I would love for a Women’s Pure Championship to be created in time for Supercard of Honor. It actually works out that Supercard had to be pushed back to avoid clashing with WrestleMania, because the pacing of the Women’s Division definitely can/will go all the way to May.
Very good promo from Harley to not just hype up Slam Dunk Sunday, but to also poke fun at how she is so obviously Harley-gram, and that there is some, uh, animal magnetism between her and Mortos. And Schiavone said that Komander & Hologram VS Mortos & Dralistico will be the main event, so you can bet there will be shenanigans involving Mortos and Harley/Harley-gram.
My Score: 8.8/10
