Another win for the living nightmare! Will anyone be able to stand up and stop Abadon’s horror show?
Shawn Spears speaks.
“So why the glove?” He can understand the questions. What he can’t understand is the negative and uninformed comments people throw his way that are really only insights to the kind of people they really are. “You think you know my industry? Okay, well, here it is. Your world is safe. You’re the master of your own domain, you’re the lion, you’re the king of your own jungle.” But his world is different. “There are countless hyenas masquerading as lions and they’re always looking for their next meal.” They are willing to do anything and take everything you’ve worked for. So what would anyone do in that situation?
The definition of self-defense is the “defense of one’s person or interests, through the act of physical force, which is permitted in certain cases as an answer to a violent act.” Spears hopes you understand it was never his intention to hurt someone. This glove is the one thing that will never turn its back on him, the one thing he can rely on, and the one thing that will always be there for him when he needs it. The glove is not a weapon. “It’s my protector.” How far will Spears go to “protect” himself?

The Inner Circle builds even more momentum before the 5v5 war for Dynamite! Will they be able to screw over Freshly Squeezed and his team so easily?
My Thoughts:
This was literally a massive episode of Dark at just over 1 hour and 50 minutes! Granted, a lot of it was still the same with the way matches turned out, but it was all still great stuff. I am a little torn on Cutler and Avalon getting a team name now. The Initiative is clever given Cutler’s love of Dungeons & Dragons, and they had another good match, but of course FTR wins. But my point is, Cutler and Avalon having a team name might steer things away from Cutler VS Avalon at All Out or the first episode with live fans. It’s basically a shame that they’ve come together as allies if it’ll just break up within the next few months. SCU breaks even, Archer and Wardlow decimate their opponents again, and Penelope Ford gets another clean win to build back up. I’m surprised Shida VS Diamante has been upgraded to a title match, but perhaps Shida can build her reign before facing Nyla Rose again.
Jersey’s Finest VS Nakazawa & Suge was a ton of fun, and I hope “Pineapple Pete” sticks with Nakazawa. I really like the idea of them being Turkish oil master and apprentice, that slip ‘n’ slide tackle was great creativity. Abadon is legitimately creepy to me, I just can’t sometimes with her. But she’s being built up, so that’s good for her and the AEW Women’s Division overall. Though, it does make me curious where Anna Jay has been since the decided to #JoinDarkOrder. Dark Order had a lot to do tonight, with the originals winning but the Numbers losing. Unless Omega turns on Hangman, I don’t see Dark Order taking those titles. That would be pretty wild and just in time so that All Out can have new contenders for Dark Order to face and more than certainly defeat.
Best Friends of course benefit from taking on Reynolds and Silver, and Orange Cassidy has a real good match with Serpentico. The Inner Circle also builds momentum as Sammy gets a good win over Fuego and Proud ‘n’ Powerful win big in that Triple Threat main event. I don’t really get why Big Money Matt is the Matt that accompanied Private Party, but maybe they’re testing things out between the other personas. Maybe the point is that it’s about which Matt helps Private Party get the win, and it’ll be the Matt that’s the most like the real Matt. Then the Hardy Party will make their way to a title match, perhaps as the first contenders to a Dark Order reign.
My Score: 8.5/10

Jameson has the mic to tell al the fat morons and skinny idiots to shut up! He introduces himself and the Savages and says that you can see, they have new gear and the best gear ahead of Full Gear. But with no match set, they’ll beat The House of Black to take their spot in the contender series and win those tag titles themselves! Because they are the Iron Savages! Sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the low T meat riders to #TiddyCity! The fans boo and The House isn’t even affected. The teams sort out, and Brody steps to Boulder.

A dominant win from former AEW World Trios Champions, but which two will step forward to face FTR in the Full Gear Contenders Series? Will it be the end for the #TopGuys? But speaking of, here they come! The fans fire up as Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are here in Providence! They have mics, and Malakai asks what they can do for FTR. Cash says he sees Buddy puffed up, just calm down. They’ve had ladder matches, cage matches, and taken years off their careers. This is just business. Dax Harwood says over the last four and a half years, Dax has made it his life’s mission to be AEW World Tag Team Champion.
Those belts have been put above their bodies, above their health, above their family, and even above God. But nothing changes except for the obstacles. Right now, The House is their obstacle. On the backs of FTR, on the backs of The House of Black, they built Collision. The fans cheer that. But for the first time ever on a Dynamite, House of Black VS the absolute best team on the planet, FTR! The one question is: Who’s it gonna be? Malakai & Brody step up! The fans cheer and Malakai tells FTR, “Good luck.” The Top Guys push past the Kings of the Black Throne, but will Dax & Cash be able to push through to Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“You don’t think that I see what’s going on around here? You don’t think that i feel it? There’s a shift happening. And we’re all a part of it. You see, there’s a reoccurring theme with me being All Elite again, and it’s that my past is creeping up on me, forcing to make a decision. Which is why I’ve held on to this.” The card from MVP! This is a golden ticket. What this is is a decision that he must make with people who like conducting business in a way he used to agree with. MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and his guy, Bobby Lashley. If you’ve been paying attention, you saw Lio beat Ariya Daivari last week and Lio beat Komander on Rampage.
Lio is here tonight, ready to be on fire. He feels great, but wants to feel greater. He wants to feel alive again! Which is why on Dynamite, Lio is calling out Swerve! Knock knock, open up> The Man of the Hour is back around. Lio smiles, but will he regret visiting Swerve’s House?
Private Party is here!

Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Top Flight VS The Outrunners!

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Presuming Roderick Strong even wins tonight against The Beast Mortos, his third match in the “MJF Chase” has been decided! It will be against The Don Callis Family’s Lance Archer, in a FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE match! Will the Savior of the Backbreaker make it through these trials of body and mind to make it to Full Gear? On top of that, a report comes in that Jon Moxley and the Death Riders are going to SEIZE the TBS SuperStation?! Just what gives this rogue AEW World Champion the authority to do that? Plus, we hear from Bobby Lashley ahead of his match with Swerve Strickland at Full Gear, and we hear from Will Ospreay after his shocking return last Wednesday night.
The Acclaimed speak.
Max Caster starts off with a “Yo, listen.” Anthony Bowens says they have requested this time because they wanna speak directly to LFI. Next week, Albany, Collision, the Contender Series, Caster & Bowens take their next step back to where they belong and that is the AEW World Tag Team Championships! So FYI, LFI, they’ll whip your ass! That’s right! Time to go eye to eye with the Best Wrestler Alive! So here’s a word of advice from the Handsome Heavyweight, the Bilingual Badass, Platinum Max! “Donde esta ustedes cajones? Where are your balls?” Because they’re dealing with- The Hurt Syndicate steps in!
Montel Vontavious Porter shakes his head and can’t believe Caster’s going on about balls and scissoring. What is wrong with him? How long has it been since they’ve held championships? Don’t they wanna be taken serious? Look at Caster’s father, an all pro NFL Super Bowl champion! Caster saw that big shiny ring growing up, so doesn’t he want the big shiny belt? Bowens says ENOUGH! MVP has Lashley & Shelton stand down. Bowens tells them that just because Billy Gunn isn’t here, doesn’t mean they can say whatever they want to The Acclaimed. And secondly, they aren’t interested. Bowens goes but MVP says he knows Caster still has the card.
Caster leaves, and MVP tells Shelton that they can’t just kill everybody. Shelton asks why not. Lashley says at least hit them in the mouth. But will The Hurt Syndicate soon be adding some platinum to the mix?
Roderick Strong VS The Beast Mortos!
Adam Cole is 2-0 in his MJF Chase, and this will be round two for the Savior of the Backbreaker. But it’s against “his boy,” who he still wants to join The Undisputed Kingdom.

Mariah May speaks.
“I hate women’s wrestling. I really do. It never used to be this way. I was all for ‘hot girl graps’ and ‘women supporting women.’ ‘We’re all in this together, let’s make history!’ And then I won this title. And I realized I am surrounded by the weakest, saddest, most pathetic little s*its I have ever seen. They’re either dead, injured, beaten, sick, or can’t even look me in the eyes. Because they know the truth. I am not in this women’s division. These women are in my division. And if I was them, I would thank me for standing on their necks. My prime is being wasted because no one can touch me. It’s so lonely being the only.
“Years from now, people will wonder, ‘Who killed women’s wrestling?’ Yes, it was me. I did it.” The Glamour is arrogant as always, but is she going to regret growing her ego so big and so fast?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with the Queenslayer and brings up what Mariah just said because clearly, Anna is not happy. Anna tells Mariah that while she thinks “no one can touch you,” Anna did more than that. She slapped Mariah, kicked Mariah, and even beaten Mariah! And next time, she will choke Mariah out until she pisses herself! Anna is the only woman who has pinned Mariah since Mariah won at All In. So now, Anna is going all in. Mariah VS Anna, Round 3, NO DISQUALIFICATIONS! And if Anna loses this time, she will never challenge Mariah for the title again. Every woman here wants the title and Mariah’s head. On Dynamite, Anna drops Mariah to bring home both. #JustTryMe.
Mariah’s insults have incensed Anna, will Anna finally become The Star of the Show?
Kris Statlander VS Ashley Vox!
Mercedes Mone & Kamille tried to take her out with their car, so it was a miracle the #BornAgainKristen survived! Will this be a #StaturdayNightCollision Mone & Kamille need to watch closely?

The refs rush out here to shout at Mone, but Mone only lets go when she’s satisfied! Mone raises her belts high, but Kris is rising up! Mone bails, but will she still have those belts by the end of the year?
La Faccion Ingobernable is backstage.
Jake The Snake follows Rush y Dralistico but they tell cameramen to move aside. Rush asks Mortos what’s wrong with him. How could he lose to Roddy? Did he forget what LFI is about?! They’re to show no mercy on anyone! Roddy is not your friend! He is not your familia! LFI is all that! So forget the Kingdom! They have a grand opportunity next week! Show him who you are! Mortos is riled up again, and Jake says some people, you just don’t piss off. LFI are those people. And Acclaimed, you’re just a bunch of squirrels playing around, trying to find a nut. No nuts here, you’ll get more than you can handle.
And remember one thing and one thing only: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! Will Mortos & Dralistico destroy the hopes of Caster & Bowens without a second thought? Or will they get hit with that Mic Drop?
AEW TNT Championship: Jack Perry VS Action Andretti!
With The Young Bucks abandoning The Elite, The Scapegoat has put it on himself to push his twisted idea of progress forward. He has Daniel Garcia breathing down his throat, yet he goes to Lowell, Massachusetts just to call out Yota Tsuji. And now, he put this open challenge out, only for it to be answered in an instant. Will Jack Perry be able to keep up with everything he’s taking on? Or will this match be a Sight to See?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is ready to make a sacrifice!
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, and Jack powers Action back to a corner. The ref counts, Jack lets off slowly, then pokes action. Action says okay, whatever. The fans sing, “Oh~ Cry Me a River.” The two tie up, Action waistlocks but Jack wrenches. Action rolls, bridges, handsprings, and wrenches back.

Jack snap suplexes Action, covers, TWO! Jack smirks, then sits Action up to KNEE him in the back! Action endures as Jack clamps on a chinlock, digging that knee into Action’s back. Action fights but Jack shifts to a headlock. Jack grinds Action down, and grins as he smothers Action!
The ref reprimands so Jack stops. Action fights up, pries at the hold, but Jack wrangles him down to KICK! Jack stands Action up to CHOP back down! Jack scuffs Action to a corner, then CHOPS again! Jack digs his knee in, then stands on Action in the corner! The ref counts but Jack talks trash on fans. Jack steps away at 4, dares fans to do something, especially Real-Life Peter Griffin. Jack drags Action up to CLUB him down! Collision returns to single picture as Action fights the suplex, and ack CLUBS him again! Jack suplexes, Action cradle counters! TWO!! Jack swings, Action bobs ‘n’ weaves to kick a leg!

Winner: Jack Perry, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Scapegoat makes Action his newest sacrifice, and he grabs a mic, only for Daniel Garcia to appear! The fans cheer as Red Death storms his way down to the ring. Jack sighs as he turns around, and he lets Garcia have the mic already. Garcia says unfortunately, this isn’t about talking to the fans, but about talking to Jack. Garcia wants Jack to understand, they disagree on a lot of things, but the one they disagree on the most is that Jack thinks they’re alike. And Jack thinks he’s special because he came back from a “vacation,” hair all in his face, driving in a beat up school bus, when really, he’s a multimillionaire “Nepo Baby” who was handed everything his entire life.
And Jack does not care about anyone else, he doesn’t fight for anyone else, and that is a major difference between them. Garcia fights for the people he cares about. Garcia fires for Daddy Magic, he fights for Private Party, he fights for everyone in the back. You think that makes Garcia weak? No, that makes him strong! THE PEOPLE make Garcia strong! And Jack, Garcia will never, ever be anything like you. But you know what Garcia will be? November 23rd, Full Gear, Garcia becomes T N T CHAMPION! Perry smirks, and asks for the mic back. Garcia hands it over, and Jack says Garcia can have his match. But he’s still not ready.
Jack drops the mic, pushes past Garcia, and clearly thinks it’s a given he will still be golden. But will The Scapegoat learn why this is the man known as Red Death?
Julia Hart is… back to being a cheerleader?
She has the skirt, the pompoms and the letterman’s jacket. But then the shadowy shroud watches from the stands. “The House of Black… Always Wins…!” Cheerleader Julia turns her cheer into one for The House of Black. They always win. They will fight to the death and make you scream. And scream she does. The shroud stands, armed with a bow ‘n’ arrow. And she says, “You’ll never be good enough.” She then SHOOTS Hart through the heart! But then she wakes up! Is the Princess of the Dark Throne on her way back?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia.
Lexy finds Garcia talking with Matthew Menard and announces that it’s now official, Garcia will have his TNT Championship match. Menard apologizes to Lexy for interrupting, but he was just talking with Garcia. Lexy can stick around if she wants, because surely the world wants to hear this. Menard says Perry thinks Garcia’s not ready, but all Garcia has to do is turn it up to the max. Menard knows Danny is ready, Mama Garcia knows Danny is ready, the WHOLE WORLD knows Danny is ready! All Danny has to do is prove them right. Prove them right and take the title from that prick! Garcia says he will. Let’s get it!
Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy VS AR Fox!
The Prodigy has a camera at gorilla as he says he heard through the grapevine that today is a very special day. Today is the anniversary of AR Fox’s father passing away. Good thing that he’s dead, because Papa Fox would disown Fox after what Nick’s about to do to him. A Prodigy never forgets. Will this grudge for what Fox & Swerve did to him lead Nick to a brutal victory? Or will- FOX DIVES ONTO NICK! Nick crossed a line so Fox throws him around ringside!

Fox rolls with Nick but Nick knows that trick! SNAP DRAGON! Bridging cover, TWO!! Fox survives that counter and Mother Wayne is upset for Nick. The fans rally, Nick watches Fox crawl, and he hoists Fox up. Nick puts Fox up top and backwards, then CLUBS Fox. Nick climbs up, goes to full nelson, but Fox fights with elbows! The fans fire up as Nick falls back. Fox adjusts but Nick trips him up! Fox bounces through to roll Nick! BASEMENT CUTTER! And then the tuck and POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO! Nick survives and Fox is shocked! Fox stalks Nick as Nick goes to a corner. “This is Awesome!” as Fox runs up.
Nick BOOTS Fox, goes up top, but Fox jumps up to get him! RUNWAY PAIN! Fox goes up, Mother Wayne distracts the ref and Kip gets on the apron! Fox kicks Kip away, then 450 FLOPS as Nick moves! The distraction was just enough to save Nick! Nick hurries to haul Fox up, underhook, but Fox trips Nick! Jackknife bridge, TWO! Nick hurries to a corner! Fox runs in, but is sent into buckles! Nick then SNAP DRAGONS again! And then the underhooks, ROLLING TIGER DRIVER!! Cover, Nick wins!
Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall
Mother is proud of her boy, though she and “Superbad Stepbrother” Kip did help hand that win to Nick. But Nick isn’t done, he wants to make Fox pay for his past! Kip brings Fox up, and Mother Wayne gives Nick a picture of Fox’s father! And then a staple gun!! They give Fox the Swerve treatment of STAPLING the picture to Fox’s face!! The fans boo but Nick grins at what he has done. The Patriarchy stands over Fox, will they do even worse to make Nick a champion?
Backstage interview with MXM Collection.
Lexy is now with Mansoor & Mason Madden, and brings up this new sort of “collaboration” with Johnny TV. It seems there is an update? Yes, that’s right, “Lexington.” Mansoor says “Johnathon Television” requested they slide into his DMs and that is exactly what they did. Mansoor’s message requested Johnny join them in a Trios match for next week’s Collision. His reply? We’re waiting for it. Oh, okay, he’s read it. The three dots are here! And Johnny says… He already has a match with Daniel Garcia. Darn it. But wait, there’s more! They can come with him ringside! That’s great! What about the pic Mason sent him?
Johnny says… “Nice hog.” Wait, what? Oh, it’s a piggy. Okay, Mason, let’s go, Johnny TV style! They pose, and slide?! Wait, someone is pushing them on a dolly cart? Sebastian, you fool, you’re going the wrong way! Now you’re in the shot, you bald idiot! Sebastian goes in reverse and MXM is furious. But will “MXM TV” become a thing?
AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS The Conglomeration!
Pac, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta thought they could crush Orange Cassidy before Full Gear and get away with it, but they’re dead wrong!

CANNONBALL onto the cluster! The fans fire up as Cassidy stands back up to again stare Moxley down.
The Death Riders may have gold between the world title and the world trios titles, but will that change once Cassidy kicks it into Full Gear?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, really packed full of action and story. While I criticized using Roddy VS Mortos as a replacement for Roddy VS Cole drama in this build, I do appreciate Mortos playing up how emotionally conflicted he was during his match. It is a little silly to think Mortos actually liked The Undisputed Kingdom, but he and Roddy had a great match, and that was a great win for Roddy. But with Roddy VS Archer announced during the match, I suppose it made sense for Archer to attack Roddy. Next week’s Dynamite should’ve still been Cole VS Roddy, winner gets MJF, but I suppose there can still be drama over only one of them winning, and the other has to force himself to be happy for his friend. What would be wild is if RODDY wins and Cole is the one swallowing his pride.
Kris of course wins a squash match to build momentum, but then I should’ve figured Mone would attack her. Just saw her do that to Hazuki at the NJPW Strong show, so it’s just the CEO’s MO to go after her challengers in an attempt to weaken them before the title match. I wouldn’t mind if Hazuki returned the favor to integrate stories between AEW and NJPW. Honestly, same goes for Yota Tsuji showing up on an AEW show after Jack Perry went after him. Jack of course beat Action in the title match, but good promos from him and Garcia to hype up their title match. With no Bucks around, maybe the rest of The Elite starts losing gold, and Jack is first.
Great match from Nick and Fox to revisit their feud from the past, and Nick sure is learning from “Father” Christian by bringing up Fox’s dead dad. The Patriarchy of course had to cheat to win, but at least Nick’s rolling tiger driver won instead of being buried like it was against Ricochet. Nick indirectly calls out Swerve, too, with the staple gun stuff. Maybe after the Hurt Syndicate stuff, Swerve revisits this feud to settle things with Nick. Speaking of, good promos from Lio Rush and Acclaimed in connection to the Hurt Syndicate. As Top Flight flounders, maybe Lio jumps ship to be Hurt Syndicate going into the Continental Classic season.
Acclaimed are also just a moment away from falling apart, and their match with LFI next week will be a big part of that. Maybe Acclaimed win, maybe they don’t, really depends on how the tag title Fatal 4 Way’s Heel-Face ratio is looking after this next week. The House of Black of course squashed The Iron Savages, and I even like the Julia Hart return teaser. Good promo from House of Black and FTR to establish it’s Brody & Malakai. With Outrunners beating Top Flight to qualify for the title match, it would be interesting if the #FTRunners were forced to fight each other during that match.
Very good promos from Mariah and Anna to establish a last chance title match. Pretty sure Anna loses, though, as I still think they’re waiting on a Mariah VS Mina feud before Mariah loses the belt. Hilarious promo from MXM Collection to plug a team-up with Johnny TV next week, even if it they’re just in his corner. I feel like we could also get a very good Six Man Tag of #MXMTV VS Garcia & Private Party to warm up Garcia & Private Party before Full Gear. And great title match main event, but of course Moxley made sure his guys won by any means necessary. Good brawl to close the night, but all the more reason Yuta’s gonna get involved and cost Cassidy.
My Score: 8.8/10

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the wild Aussie and says it has been a wild week for her. Or, weeks. Or even a few months. Quite the year, really. Harley says yes, let’s recap, shall we? Deep breath and Harley begins: she made a calculated plan to join The Outcasts to break up a couple that ended up getting married and having a baby, so congrats to them; Harley was mauled by Mariah May, trounced by Toni Storm, and not to mentioned a woman named after the atmosphere, and even a doctor; standing next to her mentor, Saraya, and her entire Knight family, she then made her Wembley Stadium debut appearance, only to be assaulted by an even more “Bri’ish person,” who loves to dress in 1970s vintage attire!
Later, said woman put Harley through two tables at Arthur Ashe Stadium, and those tables were covered in tiny toy cars. And then Harley had an encounter with Anna Jay’s fat ass, non-sexually, then it was Tacoma, Stockton, and then Harley was a kitty cat for Day of the Dead, to be sacrificed at the altar by Thunderrrrrrrosa, so yes, all in all, quite a rough year for Harley. But what does the future hold? Renee says they’re not out of time. What? Renee apologizes, Harley shouts, “Fear the wrath of Harley Cameron!” Will all this fire inside of Harley burn whoever faces her next? Or will Harley just end up with burnout?
Triple Threat Tag: The Kingdom VS The Dark Order w/ Evil Uno VS The Infantry w/ Shane Taylor Promotions!
Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, Alex Reynolds & John Silver, Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo. All top tier tag teams that want tag titles, but only those in the Full Gear Contenders Series will fight for their opportunity. Will the winner of this match prove they should’ve been included in the chase?
The fans cheer on Taven as he’s New Hampshire born, but then The Infantry attack The Kingdom! Guess neither of them will be legal… The bell rings, and Infantry runs up on Dark Order! Dark Order dodge to fire off haymakers! Silver LARIATS Dean up and out, Reynolds whips Carlie to slide and trip him! Silver springboards to SPLASH! Reynolds slingshots to SPLASH as well! The fans fire up but Reynolds grits his teeth from the rib pain. Carlie hits a BODY SHOT, then he drags Reynolds up. Carlie whips Reynolds, but Reynolds ducks ‘n’ dodges. Taven tags in, Reynolds grabs ropes, and Taven spins Carlie around to kick, JAB, and kick again!
Taven whips, Carlie reverses, but Taven goes up and over. Taven keeps moving, slides under Carlie, but Carlie comes back, into a DROPKICK! The fans fire up “Because IIIII’M Matt Taven!” Carlie tells him to shut up and pie faces Taven! Taven clamps onto Carlie’s arm, wrenches, and tags in Bennett.

Backstage interview with Roderick Strong.
Lexy Nair asks him how he feels about what we just saw. Roddy says if you want his thoughts, here they are: He is NOT surprised MJF would resort to hiring The Don Callis Family to do his dirty work. MJF is the biggest scumbag coward Roddy has ever met. As Brian Cage and Lance Archer, and well, “JAAAKE! ‘The Snake’ Roberts.” Yes, The Snake slithers in and Roddy says he was just talking about Jake’s former client. Jake says yeah, former. He isn’t here about Archer, he’s here about Beast Mortos. Roddy needs to back off already. But Mortos is Roddy’s boy. No he’s not, Mortos is LFI now. And LFI has a very important match coming up with The Acclaimed.
That means Roddy is messing things up. Mortos needs to be focused, ready, and the killer that he is. If Roddy can’t back himself off, then maybe Mortos will back Roddy up for him. Roddy says Mortos is his boy, but if Jake wants Mortos to try, then hey, Roddy needs a second win. Have Mortos meet Roddy on Collision. Jake grins and says what a fool. Has The Savior of the Backbreaker just doomed himself? Or will he find a way to break through to “his boy,” Beast Mortos?
The Vendetta speaks.
Deonna Purrazzo tells us, “A girl once broke my arm, so I broke both of hers. It was retribution.” Taya Valkyrie says, “A man broke my heart once. So I stabbed his tires! That was revenge.” Deonna says, “It can be immensely satisfying to collect what we’re owed. But sometimes, that’s just not enough. Sometimes it’s about more than simple reprisals.” Sometimes, it’s about sending a message. And not just to the intended targets. Hell, those people might not be around for long. The message is for everyone else. Unless you’re prepared to invite a vendetta, The Vendetta, you know who to avoid. And if you’re trying to send a message of your own and need a little help, you know where to find them.

Winner: Lio Rush, by pinfall
The Bad Child’s bad mood may not be fully lifted, but this win surely helps. Will we get part 3 sooner rather than later?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, no need for a fifth match that would’ve just been filler. Shida VS Viva was a great opener, a great return for Shida, she can surely have something title wise past Full Gear what with Kris VS Mone already established and potentially Mariah VS Mina as the next thing. Great promo from Harley with her recap of her own 2024. Hard to get a ready on Harley’s popularity but she could start to make her way up the ranks. And good promo from The Vendetta. That last line teases them adding more members, and I wouldn’t mind seeing them get at least one more person on their side so that person can kinda be the scrub that takes losses in matches for them.
Great Triple Threat Tag to help along some of these character turns. Infantry are strong Heels now, The Kingdom are becoming strong Faces now, and then Dark Order was just kinda there to take the loss. Archer & Cage beating down Kingdom adds to this feud between the full Undisputed Kingdom and the Don Callis Family on behalf of MJF, even though Don Callis Family also has beef with Ospreay, Ricochet, Hobbs and Mark Davis. Good promo from Roddy and Jake The Snake to set up what could in a roundabout way be the blowoff of this Mortos story. Kind of a sad substitute for how we’re NOT getting Cole VS Roddy 1v1. As I said on Dynamite, Cole and Roddy surely get that Triple Threat with MJF and that’s where the tension between Cole and Roddy happens.
And great stuff out of Top Flight Airlines, aka the full faction of Top Flight and friends. Quick aside: after Leila lost her wig last week, she’s letting her natural hair show and she looks great as always. Another aside: AEW still can’t keep track of its own stuff. When advertising Collision, Excalibur phrases it as “Jack Perry puts out an Open Challenge,” but the graphic clearly shows Action Andretti has already accepted it, so that’s why I just said Action accepted. I feel like part of the problem is Collision has been prerecorded the last few weeks, taped on Thursdays to air on Saturdays. Rampage is recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. There is miscommunication and it’s just a bit annoying that it’s been five years, they can watch WWE as an example, yet they still mess this up.
Top Flight VS Beef & JD was great, the fans loved both teams, but it made sense for Top Flight to win going into their contender series match tomorrow night. Top Flight VS Outrunners is going to be great, but I feel like Outrunners will win because they were given FTR’s seal of approval weeks ago. Lio VS Komander Round 2 was just as great as last week’s match, I really do hope they give us Round 3, winner moving on to a title match. Granted, with a lot of Heels holding titles here in AEW right now, maybe Komander wins to then move on and challenge like, Jack Perry, to then lose and simply give the champ a great defense.
