The Absolute won big on his Dark debut, but he has to keep it going to get back after a title. Meanwhile, Egotistico Fantastico has put on incredible matches with some big names in AEW, especially the world champion, Jon Moxley.

The “Buster Keaton” keeps the Absolute going strong! Starks again walks to commentary to fist bump Taz. Will Taz consider recruiting another client?

 

AEW hears from Shawn Spears.

“History, in the palm of my hand. A true student of the game is wild and unpredictable.” The game called pro-wrestling understands that history repeats itself. Blackjack Mulligan. Ted Debiase Sr. Barry Windham. They all wore this black glove. And what has followed those men to this day, even after their careers are long over? “Legacy.” Tully Blanchard wants Spears to reach down deep and have that same legacy. Tully believes in Spears, and Spears believes in Spears. Will this belief in #PERFECT10N bring Spears to grab gold with that black glove?

Mr. Fun Sized and the Turkish oil master have both been running pretty hot this summer, but things are only heating up! Will Stunt or Nakazawa be the one cooling off with a loss right before the Fight for the Fallen?

The bell rings and Nakazawa already brings out a bottle of oil. Nakazawa is so confident going against Stunt, he says he DOESN’T need it! He tosses the bottle away, and Stunt jumps on for a headlock! Nakazawa powers out and Stunt’s shoulder tackle bounces off him! Nakazawa asks what’s up with that, so Stunt gets up and says he’ll try again. Stunt runs again but still bounces off Nakazawa. Stunt says he knows what needs to happen. He dares Nakazawa to run! Nakazawa does, Stunt follows, and Stunt dropkicks Nakazawa down! And then BUZZSAWS him!

Stunt blocks the second attempt at the Nasty Claw, to dropkick it into Nakazawa! Then a roll up with bridge, Stunt wins!!

Winner: Marko Stunt, by pinfall

Nakazawa is a victim of his own nastiness, and Stunt is victorious! Stunt is a good sport, though, and he helps free Nakazawa from his own undies. Will Stunt be heading for something bigger and better in the near future? Will Nakazawa at least take a shower?

 

Luther & Serpentico VS “Pineapple Pete” Suge D & Brady Pierce!

The original death dealer and SNAKE MAN were a strong duo inside a trio that just didn’t work out with Max Caster. Will they succeed on their own against Sugar Dunkerton and The Inspiration?

Jurassic Express VS Brandon Cutler & Peter Avalon w/ Leva Bates!

Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus have been up and down, while the Dungeon Master and Librarian have been mostly down. But things might be looking up for the duo with the most losses in AEW after the last few weeks. Will tonight be the night they finally get a win?

FTW Championship: Brian Cage VS Brian Pillman Jr!

The Machine was gifted this title by Taz, but that’s because Taz feels he is a legitimate badass worthy of carrying on the legacy. In this title’s first defense in decades, will Cage bust through Bulletproof Pillman to then be primed for Jon Moxley?

The announcement makes it real! Cage keeps the title as given to him by Taz, but he keeps going after Pillman! POWERBOMB! Another POWERBOMB! Then a fireman’s carry to an F5!! Cage is the most brutal SOB, just as Taz said he is. But will he also become the most brutal AEW World Champion yet after facing the Death Rider?


My Thoughts:

A really good episode of Dark, with mostly predictable endings but still great action. One of the big things is that Luther and Serpentico are a tag team and they are moving up so that Serpentico is no longer a Heel jobber. The 2v2 tag division is pretty stacked already, maybe they do find a third man to bolster the demand for a trios division. The Dark Order’s trio did pretty good, I feel like that trio move where they held Dean up should’ve been their finisher. I get they still want the Beaver Boys to look good as a duo but the Dark Order should really plan to have a part in all possible divisions. Brodie Lee as world champion, the OG in Uno and Grayson for world tag team champions, then Numbers 3, 4 and 5 for trios. Preston Vance or Colt Cabana can be their TNT Championship contender, and whenever Anna Jay returns, she is their women’s champion contender.

Brandi and Allie winning tonight only to have a match tomorrow for Fight for the Fallen could make for an interesting layer of the story. If QT Marshall was back, Fight for the Fallen could be the moment the betrayal happens. Starks wins but what matters is his continuing connection with Taz. Likewise to the Dark Order, Taz could build a stable where Cage is the world title contender and Starks could come back around for the TNT Championship. Jurassic Express continues to roll on all levels, and Stunt had a really fun match with Nakazawa. Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus put on a great match with Cutler and Avalon, and of course they win while Cutler and Avalon develop their story.

Cage defending the FTW Championship was a nice touch for tonight, and it makes for good story for them to tease Cage could be a “double champion.” I still don’t really see Cage winning the world title, but that in itself could be a shocking move AEW pulls. Darby Allin still wants after Cage, Darby has fought for the world title once when Jericho was champion, so they could circle back to that for his feud with Cage. At the very least, there’s now the FTW Championship that can be fought over, so maybe Darby goes after that just to  make a point.

My Score: 8.2/10

Backstage interview with Swerve Strickland.

Well, not quite, as Renee Paquette waits outside his locker room, hoping for a word about Ricochet’s threatening Prince Nana. Wait, Hangman Page barges through, and says no one is in there. Renee asks what Hangman is even doing, he says it is none of her business. Then can Hangman comment on Christopher Daniels announcing the end of his in-ring career? Nope, no time. But then Hangman literally bumps into MJF. These two stare down, but then Hangman moves on. MJF says unbelievable. The Cowboy walks around like he’s King S*it just because the fans like him. No matter what he does, Hangman did nothing wrong~!

But MJF even so much as breathes funny and it is all over for him. How hypocritical. MJF mutters to himself but Renee asks how he feels about Jeff Jarrett’s match where he could win a title opportunity with Moxley. Renee snaps MJF out of ranting to himself, and MJF apologizes, it’s the ADHD. But MJF is not gonna let anybody ruin his mood tonight. Because tonight, he proves his words aren’t just beautiful poetry but prophecy. Tonight, Double J learns that as MJF said, you’re better off making a deal with The Devil than defying him. Jarrett learns that the hard way when he goes out there alone to face one of the most dangerous men AEW has to offer in the man-horse, Claudio Castagnoli!

And that is all because of Jarrett’s narcissism, and his refusal of MJF’s sweetheart deal. MJF has a new offer, and unfortunately for Jarrett, it is one he can’t decline. It goes like this: The Last Outlaw’s Last Ride! Ain’t that great? MJF grins, but will he have to eat his words when Jarrett finds a way to defeat the Swiss Cyborg?

 

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs speaks.

“Unfortunately, Big Bill, I wasn’t cleared to travel to Dynamite tonight. But just as we went off that stage on Collision, I told we’re going to Hell. When I’m cleared to come back, I’m gonna show you that Hell is just the beginning.” When and where will The Book of Hobbs finish this chapter with The Redwood?

 

High Stakes: Jeff Jarrett VS Claudio Castagnoli!

Well, just as the Wolf of Wrestling said, The Last Outlaw is going up against the Death Rider’s workhorse, all for his shot at Jon Moxley and the AEW World Championship! Will Double J win here to go on to “the big one?” Or is this where Jarrett’s ride ends?

The bell rings and the fans rally up for Jarrett. Jarrett and Claudio tie up, go around, go along ropes, and end up in a corner. The ref counts, Claudio lets off slowly, but then takes a swing! Jarrett avoids the cheap shot to UPPERCUT Claudio! Claudio headlocks, Jarrett powers up and out, but Claudio runs him over! Things keep moving, Jarrett drops down then arm-drags! And HIP TOSSES! Jarrett whips, JAPANESE ARM-DRAGS, and the fans fire up! Jarrett puts Claudio in a corner, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along, but Claudio stops Jarrett at 4 to then atomic drop! Claudio runs, and he LARIATS Jarrett down! Cover, TWO!

Claudio argues with the ref but the count was fair. Claudio drags Jarrett up, reels him in, but Jarrett powers up to back drop free! But Claudio sunset flips, Jarrett rolls through, and Jarrett has the legs! FIGURE FOUR! The fans “WOO~!” while Claudio flails! Claudio crawls over to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Jarrett lets go fast, and the fans cheer while Claudio bails out. Jarrett waits on Claudio and the fans rally behind “DOUBLE J! DOUBLE J!” Claudio waves to the crowd? Oh, of course! Wheeler Yuta is here! The Decoder is dressed and ready for his match against Jay White, but he looks ready to go now if he has to!

Jarrett storms out and dares Yuta to do something, but the ref has Yuta stay back. Now Claudio waits on Jarrett in the ring, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref has Jarrett leave Yuta alone, and he tells Yuta to stay back. Jarrett returns to the ring, dodges Claudio and puts him on ropes! Jarrett runs to then STRADDLE ATTACK! The fans cheer as Jarrett does the Fargo Strut, then runs back in, only for Yuta to warn Claudio! Claudio dodges and TOSSES Jarrett out of the ring! The ref keeps Claudio from going out there, but that lets Yuta attack Jarrett! Yuta gets away with it all and Claudio goes out the side. Claudio SMACKS Jarrett off the barriers, then stalks him around the way. Claudio then lifts Jarrett to hit SNAKE EYES off railing! Claudio puts Jarrett in the ring and clamps on a COBRA CLUTCH!

Jarrett endures while Claudio thrashes him around. Jarrett fights up, fires body shots, but Claudio HOTSHOTS him on ropes! Jarrett sputters, Claudio kicks him out to the floor, and again the ref keeps Claudio in the ring. Yuta creeps up, but the ref senses him this time! Yuta backs off, Claudio goes out, and Claudio puts Jarrett in the ring. Claudio tells the ref not to worry about Yuta, but then Jarrett fires body shots! Jarrett ROCKS Claudio, fires more shots, but Claudio BOOTS him down! And hits a LEG DROP, brother! Cover, TWO! Claudio clamps onto Jarrett with a chinlock and grinds him down while Dynamite returns to single picture.

The fans rally as Jarrett fights to his feet. Jarrett fires body shots, then powers Claudio to a corner. Jarrett whisp corner to corner but Claudio reverses, then follows in for an UPPERCUT! Snapmare and cover, TWO! Jarrett toughs it out and the fans rally some more. Claudio grabs the legs, but Jarrett kicks him away! Claudio comes back to DOUBLE STOMP! Cover, TWO! Jarrett stays in this and the fans cheer, but Claudio gives scuffing, mocking kicks. Claudio whips but Jarrett catches him for a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up and both men stand. Claudio fires hands on Jarrett, then UPPERCUTS!

Claudio UPPERCUTS again and Jarrett staggers around. Claudio UPPERCUTS, Jarrett HAYMAKERS! They go back and forth, the fans cheer Jarrett but boo Claudio. Jarrett gets the edge but Claudio kicks low! Claudio winds up to UPPERCUT, but Jarrett DECKS him in return! The fans fire up with Jarrett and he swings more shots and even some KICKS! Jarrett trips Claudio, steps through, but Claudio BOOTS him away! Claudio runs up in the corner again, but Jarrett dodges! Claudio is stuck, Jarrett kicks at the free leg! Claudio hobbles around but Jarrett winds up, only for Claudio to block! Jarrett aims, but Claudio ducks the enzigiri!

Claudio grabs both legs, for the GIANT SWING!! Claudio goes around and around, but can only manage half a dozen rotations because of the damage to his own leg! Claudio steps through on Jarrett and turns him over, SHARPSHOOTER! The fans boo but Jarrett endures! Jarrett reaches out while Claudio sits deep! Yuta tells Jarrett to just tap out, but the fans rally! Jarrett powers up, pushes back, and he has Claudio’s legs! Jarrett has the SHARPSHOOTER! Jarrett does this for Owen! Claudio endures, but Yuta slides a chair in! Yuta then distracts the ref, Jarrett lets Claudio go, and Jarrett DECKS Yuta!

The fans cheer, but Claudio grabs the chair! The ref ushers Yuta out, but Jarrett dodges the chair! Jarrett wrenches Claudio, reels him in, but MOXLEY is here!! The Maniac hits a PARADIGM SHIFT!! The fans boo but Moxley & Yuta bail out so that Claudio can hook Jarrett up! GOTCH NEUTRALIZER!! And then he hauls Jarrett up again, GOTCH NEUTRALIZER AGAIN!! Cover, Claudio wins!

Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall (denies Jeff Jarrett a world title match)

Marina Shafir is also ringside now, just to hold up the briefcase that holds the world title. The Death Riders screw Double J over, but it took almost ALL of them to do it! Is this a sign that they fear Double J’s grit and determination? As for the Last Outlaw, he slowly sits up from taking all those big shots, the fans cheering him on. Jarrett thanks the fans, but here comes MJF… Jarrett sighs while he struggles to stand up, and MJF struts out here with another stupid grin on his face. MJF goes right to the ring, mic in hand, and he tells Jarrett, “I just wanted to come out here to say…” HE CLOBBERS JARRETT WITH THE DYNAMITE DIAMOND RING!!

The fans boo as MJF grins again and stands over Jarrett. MJF picks the mic back up to say, “As you know, I truly respect my elders. And that’s precisely why I’m not gonna say I told you so.” MJF leaves Double J behind, but will the Scumbag actually man up and go for gold? Or is he just going to wait it out while The Maniac continues his reign of terror?

 

Backstage interview with Ricochet.

Renee is with the One & Only and says earlier today, she tried to get a word with Swerve Strickland, but he is nowhere to be found. But she has been informed that should Swerve interfere in Ricochet’s match tonight, Swerve will effectively forfeit the match the two of them were set to have next week in Atlanta. Really? Ricochet likes that. Because finally, Swerve is out of Ricochet’s business. Well, Renee knows Ricochet has a lot he wants to get off his chest, so what’s on his mind? Ricochet says no, no, we aren’t doing this right now. Look at how Ricochet is dressed. Does she take him for some kind of hoodlum?

No, they will do this in a more formal setting this Saturday on Collision. As for tonight, “the powers that be” have decided to further bully Ricochet by putting him in a match against AR Fox one week before one of the biggest matches in Ricochet’s career. So if you don’t mind, let him take care of that situation real quick. Renee wishes him luck but he says no need. The music hits and Ricochet makes his entrance. Will Dynamite be #OuttaThisWorld? Or will it be the Whole Fox’n Show?

Ricochet VS AR Fox!

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet is annoyed already and he talks trash on Huntsville. Ricochet and Fox circle, tie up, and Ricochet pulls hair to put Fox in a corner.

Ricochet powers up and out, Fox RUNS Ricochet over, then keeps moving. He RUNS Ricochet over again, then ducks a lariat to hit a headlock takeover.

Ricochet even has the scissors against Fox’s neck to threaten him like he did Nana! Swerve stands down and Ricochet retreats. But with one week to go, will Ricochet enter Swerve’s House only to NOT make it out in one piece?

 

AEW shares a snippet from Closeup with Renee Paquette.

We got a little taste on Saturday during Collision, now we get a little more as Renee asks Jon Moxley about the AEW World Championship itself. From the moment Moxley won it, he’s kept it hidden. First a garbage bag, now the briefcase. Why is it Moxley is essentially holding this title hostage? Moxley asks back why anyone needs to see the belt. What does anyone get out of it? Do they want to take a picture of it? Is this a petting zoo? Why does anyone need to see it when they don’t know anything about it? They don’t understand it on any level. They don’t understand what a world championship means, what it is about, what it takes to be a world champion.

Moxley IS the AEW World Championship! He is the living definition of what it is to be a champion. Want to see it? Take a look at it, because it’s right here. HE is the AEW World Championship, it lives here. It isn’t something you hold, it isn’t something you show off, it isn’t something you take pictures with. It lives in the heart! It has to be cultivated, grown, forged in the white hot fires of struggle and combat. And as we heard from Collision, Moxley is trying to build a THOUSAND Moxleys! He wants to backfill AEW, so that means he must put them through what he went through, and maybe even worse.

The Maniac’s reign of terror is much deeper than we knew. But will it ever come to an end?

 

The Learning Tree speaks.

Chris Jericho says, “Hi, guys~! Welcome to another New York Minute, coming to you live this week from Huntsville, Alabama, home of the Crimson Toad.” Bryan Keith adds, “ROLL TOAD!” Jericho says a lot is going on with The Nueve, like his new movie, Dark Match, premiering in theaters and on Shudder this Friday night. It’s violent, it’s gory, it’s fun, just like The Learning Tree! But speaking of violent, we also saw last week on Collision, Big Bill took out Will Hobbs! Tells us about it, Redwood! Bill says what “LT” said last week really struck a chord with him. It is one thing for Bill to share the teachings of Jericho with the world, but it’s another to put those words into action.

Bill feels now that he understands Jericho’s words in a way that he never did before. He feels… Stronger. Jericho says yes, when he hears Bill say that, it makes Jericho very proud. Jericho is very proud… of himself, for being such a great mentor! And Jericho told Bill to take out Hobbs, but permanently. Bill didn’t do that, so Bill will have to work a little bit harder next time. But Bill will get that chance again this Saturday, as Jericho & Bad Apple Bryan Keith take on those other heathens who beat them in that 12 Man Tag at Maximum Carnage, The Outrunners! Jericho says the Outrunners claim to have been around for decades, but Jericho’s never seen them anywhere but AEW, EVER!

Keith says that’s a Mandela Effect! Jericho says this Saturday, The Youngest Men Alive get taught a lesson from the smartest men alive, and Big Bill will make Jericho proud for real this time. That’s all! Another New York Minute! Thanks, guys~! Jericho’s cocky smile turns into a sneer, but will he and Keith really bring down Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum? Or will the Learning Tree get a Total Recall?

 

Jay White VS Wheeler Yuta!

The Switchblade has been after The Death Riders for months now, and he especially owes The Decoder for all the underhanded ways he’s gotten involved in White’s title matches. Will Yuta learn to Breathe with the Switchblade? Or will he just ruin another night for Jay White?

White is wary as he puts his jacket aside. Yuta runs up, but White catches him to a clinch! BLADE- NO, Yuta slips free and bails out! White taunts Yuta, Yuta says the bell hasn’t even rung! Oh, he’s one to talk about playing fair! The ref has White back up and Yuta slowly steps back into the ring. The fans chant “YUTA SUCKS! YUTA SUCKS!” The bell rings now, but Yuta bails out again. The fans boo but Yuta takes his time coming back. White says it’s fine, he’s got time. Yuta paces, the ring count hits 5 of 10, and Yuta steps in again. They tie up, Yuta headlocks but White slips out to headlock in return.

Yuta pulls hair to put White in a corner but the ref counts. The fans boo, Yuta lets go, but White pulls Yuta’s beard! The fans cheer, the ref reprimands, but White brings Yuta around.

White swings, Yuta dodges, and he drop toeholds White into the apron! White sputters and wobbles, Yuta SHOVES him into steel steps! White falls back, Yuta argues with the ref, and then Yuta SLAMS White’s leg into the steel steps! And he does it again! The ring count climbs again, but Yuta drags White around.

Yuta traps White’s leg in the frame of the ring! Yuta STOMPS the leg! The fans boo but Yuta pushes White into the ring. White rolls away, clutching that knee, but Yuta stalks him. White CHOPS, but Yuta stomps White! Yuta hooks the leg, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Yuta keeps White down with a leglock, and he drops a KNEE on the knee!

Yuta steps through for another toehold, then ties the legs up in a deathlock! Yuta stands and taunts White. White grabs Yuta’s beard, but Yuta breaks free to bridge back! White endures, reaches out, and he crawls around. Yuta taunts White to go for the ropes, and White flails as he inches closer.

White fights and fights, and finally has the ROPEBREAK! Yuta mockingly applauds while the ref counts, and Yuta lets the leglock go at 4.

“It’s a little different, huh? It’s a little different because it’s even, it’s an even fight right now. Death Riders, I know how you operate. And here’s the thing, I don’t hate how you operate. But what I do hate is when you try to end a 67-year-old man who is my idol, Ricky Morton. That’s what I got a problem! Right now, tonight, one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, one half of the greatest tag team, The Midnight Express, Dennis Condrey, is here! In Dennis Condrey’s name, on Collision, FTR VS The Death Riders, in a Midsouth Street Fight!” The fans like the sound of that! Dax says, “See y’all there.” Will the Top Guys make sure The Death Riders finally get what they deserve?

 

Renee Paquette is on stage.

She welcomes out the AEW Women’s World Champion, Mariah May! The Glamour walks out on stage, says it is great to be in Huntsville, “but looking around, maybe we should change the first letter to a C?” The fans get what she means, but Renee moves things along. We have seen the metamorphosis of “Timeless” Toni Storm, who Mariah will be defending the title against at Grand Slam: Australia. Mariah seemed a bit shaken- Oh, wow, we’re doing this? Toni Storm playing the part of Toni Storm, the RETURN~ of Toni Storm! This isn’t real, Renee! None of it is! Toni Storm is NOT real! Mariah then snatches the mic from Renee while the fans chant “TONI! TONI!”

Mariah scowls at the fans, then says, “You want to play the role of Toni Storm? Okay, why don’t you play the Toni Storm who gave her heart to a woman who used her for her gold? No, no, why don’t you play the Toni Storm who’s most memorable moment was bleeding and crying in my hands?” The fans boo but Mariah says maybe Toni should play the Toni who walked out of Wembley Stadium and Japan and Mexico, because she couldn’t touch Mariah. Mariah smirks while fans boo, and Mariah says Toni can play whatever Toni she’d like, because the ending stays the same. Mariah doesn’t need to rope play. When you’re this good, you don’t need to change a thing.

Mariah says, “I am the Woman From Hell, and I always will be. And I will remind you for the rest of your life. Look now and never forget, for this is your AEW Women’s World Champion!” Mariah holds up the title, but with just over two weeks left, will she lose it all to the woman she took it all from?

 

AEW checks on on The Gunns.

Austin & Colten have been watching from home, looking back on their rise to the top, and working on making it back. When and where will it be #GunnsUp again?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

On top of Jericho & Keith VS The Outrunners, we will see Samoa Joe & Hook team up against Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian! Will The Patriarchy’s “sons” be able to stop the Samoan Submission Machine and the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil? Then, after hearing Mariah speak tonight, “Timeless” Toni Storm will give her response! And then, after the tense stare downs from last week’s Homecoming, Daniel Garcia is putting up his TNT Championship in a Triple Threat! Kyle O’Reilly and Lee Moriarty are stepping up, but will either of them take this title from Red Death?

 

The Hurt Syndicate speaks.

Montel Vontavious Porter says, “Normally, we would gloat. But we’re gonna celebrate. First, because we’re classy gentlemen who conduct business, I would like to recognize the former AEW Tag Team Champions, Private Party. Zay, Quen, they’re warriors, they fought hard. It wasn’t their fault they ran into the most devastating tandem in ALL of professional wrestling. These tag team titles are going to stay here as long as we want them. We are putting everyone on notice. The All Mighty, Bobby Lashley. The Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin. Hurt Syndicate will accept any challenge from any challenger. Any time, any place.

“We are the Hurt Syndicate, and we hurt people.” Then who will dare step up against this dangerous and powerful pair?

 

The Don Callis Family speaks.

Don Callis himself says, “We are the true one-percenters of professional wrestling.” Konosuke Takeshita is not only the AEW International Champion, he is the NEVER Openweight Champion after defeating Shingo Takagi at WrestleKingdom 19 and Tomohiro Ishii at WrestleDynasty. They will do what they do everywhere in the world, whatever ring they step into, and win 1-2-3! Will that be the case when AEW arrives in Australia?

 

The Vendetta speak.

Taya Valkyrie has the cameraman come in close. “Moments from now, we’re gonna witness Mercedes Mone defend her TBS Championship VS Yuka. UGH!” Deonna Purrazzo says, “We both know that could have been me, it should have been me, and it would have been me, if it wasn’t for Harley Cameron.” Taya says Harley loves sticking her “balloons” where they don’t belong, and Deonna says this world wasn’t built for women like them. That is why they must TAKE what they deserve. So Harley, now you belong to The Vendetta. Saturday Night Collision, they are coming to collect. The Virtuosa then dismisses the cameraman, will Harley pay for doing the right thing?

 

AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Yuka Sakazaki!

The CEO may be the FOUR-BELT BOSS, but she is still up for a challenge. She turned down Harley Cameron as Harley hasn’t won anything on AEW TV, ever. But then Harley made sure the Wrestling Magical Girl had a fair chance in Homecoming’s Fatal 4 Way last Saturday Night Collision. Will Yuka thank Harley for that by defeating Mone? Or will The CEO still be the Face of TBS?

The introductions are made, the AEW belt is raised, and we see if Mone holds onto the hardware!

The bell rings and the two circle. Mone and Yuka tie up, go around, and the fans are on Yuka’s side. Mone wrenches, wristlocks, but Yuka spins, wrenches, and wristlocks in return. Mone rolls, kips up, and wrenches to hammerlock. Yuka endures, fights up and spins around to top wristlock! Mone slips under but Yuka headlocks. Mone powers out to headlock in return, but Yuka powers up to power out. Mone RUSN Yuka over, soaks up the heat while she does her dance, but Yuka kips up! Yuka wags her finger, runs, and she jumps over the dropdown. Things keep moving, and Yuka RUNS Mone over! The fans cheer and Yuka does her own CEO dance!

Mone swipes, Yuka jumps it, and she snapmares Mone! Mone bridges up and snapmares Yuka, but Yuka bridges up! Mone shoves Yuka, but Yuka avoids the arm-drag! The fans cheer as Yuka body scissors, and she rolls Mone around and around, and around again! Cover, TWO! Mone escapes and then ducks a sliding lariat! Ghost pin, TWO! Mone CHOPS! The fans “WOO~!” and Mone grins. Yuka swings, Mone blocks her and goes up, up, and then FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Mone dusts herself off while Yuka tumbles away. Yuka bails out, Mone builds speed, but Yuka blocks the basement dropkick! Yuka spins Mone around, then says neener-neener!

Mone kicks, Yuka ducks it, but Mone grabs Yuka by the hair! Mone says you wanna neener-neener HER?! Mone whips, Yuka goes up the apron and TIGER FEINT KICKS Mone down! The fans fire up with Yuka and she goes up the corner! Mone stands, Yuka aims, but Mone scrambles away! The fans boo and Yuka pouts. Yuka hops down while Mone wags her finger. Yuka goes to the apron, kicks, but Mone blocks! Mone trips Yuka, Yuka hits the apron, and then Mone goes up! METEORA to the floor! The CEO does her dance again, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Mone soaks up heat while the ref checks Yuka. Yuka’s still in this, so Mone stands her up. Mone brings Yuka around the ring in a mocking victory lap, then THROWS her into the apron! Mone CHOPS Yuka, puts her in the ring, then covers, TWO! Yuka stays in this and Mone is frustrated already. Mone drags Yuka up, brings her around, and bumps her off buckles. Mone stomps a mudhole into Yuka, stands on her, then steps off as the ref counts. Mone runs back in, but she blocks Yuka’s boot! Yuka tries another kick, Mone blocks that, and Mone puts Yuka in the ropes. Mone ROCKS Yuka, then hits the STOCK DROP! Cover, TWO!

Yuka stays in this and Mone is annoyed. Mone storms back up on Yuka, drags her up by her hair, then scoops her, only for Yuka to slip free! Yuka has the arms for a motorcycle stretch, but then throws Mone down into a cover, TOW! Mone hurries to her feet and she DROPKICKS Yuka down! Yuka flounders, but she still kicks Mone from below. Mone stomps away on Yuka, drags her up and scoops again, for the SLAM! Mone kneels on the cover, TWO! Yuka stays in this but Mone stays on her by clamping on a chinlock. Yuka endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Mone THROWS Yuka down by her hair, then dusts herself off.

Mone soaks up more heat, KNEES Yuka in the back again and again and again, then puts her in the motorcycle stretch! Yuka endures, fights up to her feet, but Mone pushes her back down! Mone pulls on the arms but Yuka still endures! Yuka fights up, Mone cranks the arms, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Yuka still fights and the fans rally behind her. Yuka kicks Mone, ROCKS her, then fires more shots! Mone shoves Yuka, blocks a kick, and KNEES Yuka! Mone reels Yuka in, puts one out, and lifts Yuka, but Yuka RANAS Mone away! The fans fire up while Yuka goes to a corner. Mone runs in, but Yjka dodges! Mone crashes into buckles!

Mone falls back, hobbles up, and Yuka GAMANGIRIS! Yuka then springboards up, up, balances herself, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up again and Yuka brings Mone up. Yuka suplexes, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Mone stays in this but Yuka runs, SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Mone survives again but Yuka keeps her cool. Yuka suplexes Mone again, but Mone slips free and spins Yuka around! Mone suplexes, Una Amiga! Then Dos Amigas! The fans boo but Mone hits THREE AMIGAS! Cover, TWO!! Yuka survives and Mone is frustrated. Mone shakes her head, drags Yuka around and stomps her down.

Mone steps on Yuka, heads for the corner, and fans boo as Mone climbs. Mone grins as she gives some Latina Heat, but Yuka is up! Yuka runs up to UPPERCUT! The fans fire up as Yuka climbs and fires forearms! The fans count along, Yuka hits TEN, and then brings Mone up! SUPERPLEX! Both women are down but the fans fire up! Yuka crawls her way over, covers, TWO!! Mone survives and Yuka grows a bit frustrated. Yuka drags Mone up, wrenches and hammerlocks, then she picks Mone up! MERRY-GO- NO! Mone slips free, Gory Especial, MONEY- NO!! Yuka lands out!! SUPERKICK!

Mone staggers around, Yuka wrenches and hammerlocks again! MERRY-GO-ROUND~ FACEBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!! Mone still survives and now Yuka is angry! Mone crawls to a corner, Yuka runs in, but Mone ELBOWS her away! Mone goes up to get Yuka for DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! And then BACKSTABBER into the STATEMENT MAKER!! Yuka endures the crossface, reaches out, rolls Mone, TWO!! Mone swings, misses, and Yuka ROLLING ELBOWS! Mone drops to her knees, Yuka rolls her into the SEATBELT! TWO!! Mone escapes and goes back to a corner. Yuka runs up, blocks boots, and she puts Mone in the ropes!

Yuka ENZIGIRS, then DRAPING GERMAN SUPLEXES! The fans are thunderous while Mone flounders! Yuka goes up the ropes, MAGICAL GIRL SPLASH onto knees!! Mone saves herself, cradles Yuka, TWO!! Yuka escapes, but Mone KNEES her in the face! And then a POWERBOMB! Mone flips Yuka over, hooks her into the Gory Especial, MONEY MAKER!! Cover, Mone wins!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)

Mone got quite the fight from Yuka, but she not only holds onto this title, but she stays the FOUR BELT BOSS! Will anyone ever end The CEO’s world domination?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here, and it moved rather smoothly. I can’t be sure, but it felt like there was less talking and more story told through action. Great opening match from Ospreay VS Cage, and they hit all the beats: Omega got attacked backstage; Ospreay still wins despite Archer and Callis getting involved; Don Callis Family beats Ospreay up; Omega makes the save; Don Callis Family still beats him and Ospreay up. I feel like the teaser of the “sixth man” was a little soon if Ospreay & Omega were still going to be on the defensive, but maybe we’ll see the reveal during the tag match for Grand Slam: Australia. It would certainly be a big moment for their newest “biggest show.”

Plus, great story intertwining, it was a bit like the AEW of old. Hangman looking for Swerve but not finding him, then bumping into MJF was good stuff. MJF of course talked smack on Jarrett before Jarrett VS Claudio, and Jarrett VS Claudio was some great stuff. But wow, Moxley needing to get involved to screw over Jarrett? I feel like Claudio could’ve just given Jarrett a low blow and it would’ve been the same. But I suppose Jarrett really being down and out gave MJF his opening to add on, which of course all but guarantees we’re getting MJF VS Jarrett, probably also for Grand Slam: Australia. Again, it’s AEW’s new big special, they’re not having MJF miss that.

Ricochet had a good promo getting all cocky because he thought he was safe, and then he had a great match against AR Fox. Swerve appearing from under the ring (at least I think that’s where he was, the cameras didn’t catch where he came from) was great, and he got to beat up on Ricochet a bit. Ricochet still got away before Swerve could truly stand tall, but this was the go-home to their match next week in Atlanta, and Swerve certainly has the edge on Ricochet. That would usually indicate Swerve loses, and I could see Ricochet cheating to do it. I feel like they could easily set a bigger, better match for Grand Slam, maybe even Revolution, we’ll have to wait and see.

Good snippet from that Moxley interview for Closeup, thought it didn’t add too much to what we got on Collision last week. White VS Yuta was a great match, and while White won, the Death Riders of course came out to go after him. That then of course brought out Rated FTR, but surprisingly no brawl. FTR putting out the challenge for the Midsouth Street Fight is good stuff, and that match will be some awesome stuff, and also hard to call. We also got a good vignette from The Gunns, so maybe we will get them returning to help White against the Death Riders, and then we can actually get a World Trios Championship already.

Good promo from Hobbs to explain why he couldn’t be here tonight, and this was surely legit given that wild fall off the stage in Daily’s Place. Any number of bumps, scrapes, bruises and such could’ve happened when crashing down through tables and hitting the ground, and Hobbs is still only just returning from injury, they can’t risk him getting injured again. Good “New York Minute” from The Learning Tree, but the highlight was Jericho’s continued condescending towards Big Bill. Bill really needs to turn on Jericho before this story is over, and I’d love if Bill also ranted about all the things Jericho got wrong about the USA while trying to be “The King of New York.”

Good promo from Mariah to respond to that confrontation with Toni Storm, and Toni’s promo on Collision will surely be good stuff. Good promo from Vendetta, I feel like whatever match they have with Harley should end up Harley’s win. Then Harley can throw that win in Mone’s face because she wants that title shot in Australia. Speaking of, awesome main event from Mone VS Yuka, probably one of Yuka’s best matches in AEW. But of course Mone won, she’s been going strong and probably will keep going until Kamille comes back or we get another crossover of AEW, NJPW and other partners, aka Forbidden Door: London.

My Score: 8.9/10
