PLAY BY PLAY
It’s the All Out Buy-In!
Join Tony Schiavone and Dasha in discussing, analyzing and predicting tonight’s action!
We hear from MJF.
“Here we are my friend.” All Out 2020, “two undefeated bulls locking horns. Two men who will go down as the greatest who have ever graced this sport.” Jon Moxley VS Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Everyone fell for MJF’s injury tricks because they’re all “smooth brained idiots.” MJF proved he can get violent like Moxley, but that’s what he won’t do tonight. He’ll instead just beat Moxley like a dog on a leash. Moxley is a goon, and MJF will make sure this does not spill out of the ring or turn into a brawl.
MJF says Moxley has one kill shot. Moxley thinks he can tap or snap MJF, but he can’t. MJF knows every single reversal in the book! MJF will out wrestle Mox. Kill or be killed, just as Mox said. But as MJF said, bad things happen to those who get in MJF’s way. “Tonight, we get a real paradigm shift. Because I’m better than you, and you know it.” But will MJF prove it later tonight?

Apparently, the Superbad Boy has a “huge announcement” that he wants to give tonight. Kip’s news is so huge! He and Ford are getting married! Well, wait, we knew that. But they announce this because they’re going all out for the wedding. The wedding will be live on Dynamite!
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, because before the wedding is the bachelor party. And the bachelor party means a best man. Who is the best man? Good question, “Adam” Marvez, whose real first name is Alex. But a best man is truly that. He has to be trustworthy, know the groom very well and share similar interests. And handsome, too. Because wedding pictures last forever. Kip scoured his extensive list of contacts, and knows we all want to know. This Wednesday, Kip will let us know. This isn’t just Kip’s best man, this is THE best man ever! Who will be the Superbad Best Man to arrange the Superbad Bachelor Party? Please subscribe to Kip on Twitch, by the way.

This is perhaps the most unique tiebreaker match you’ll ever see anywhere! Le Champion knew it would take something truly spectacular to settle this score, so he invented this brand new match type! Perhaps two of the greatest stars, attractions and characters in wrestling are going to take this to a new level! Pin, submission, or fall into the 500 gallon tank of mimosa, who makes history while taking the series?
Before the match, Marvez interviews Jericho backstage. Jericho hushes Marvez to tell him no one wants to hear Marvez talk. Tonight is the first-ever-anywhere Mimosa Mayhem! After 14 weeks of Cassidy VS Jericho, “it wasn’t a storyline, it wasn’t a feud, it wasn’t a program. It was an experiment.” Jericho wanted to see if he could make Orange Cassidy “into a legit main event draw here in AEW.” And after these last 14 weeks of beating each other, dumping liquid on each other, attacking each other, and everything in between, Jericho honestly feels that Cassidy IS a legit draw! You’re welcome.
But tonight, Cassidy finds what Le Champion does: “I make main event stars, I make dreams come true, and I also end them.” This Freshly Squeezed Experiment ends when Jericho hits Cassidy in the face with a Judas Effect, makes him tap out to the Walls of Jericho, and then throws his “lazy ass” into 500 gallons of orange juice and champagne. Cassidy did a great job, just not good enough. He’s done, at the hands of the Demo God. Jericho makes his entrance, Floyd the Baseball Bat in hand, and history is once again written before our very eyes!
Jericho flips off Freshly Squeezed fans while taking off the jacket and gloves. The fans do chant, “Thank You, Jericho!” but in dueling chants with the Cassidy fans.

Cassidy runs in, Jericho tosses him out but Cassidy holds on! Jericho triangle dropkicks but Cassidy still stays up! Jericho runs in but Cassidy slingshot sunset flips! High stack, TWO! Jericho runs into a MICHINOKU! Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives but both men are down as fans rally up. Cassidy and Jericho stir, rise, and Jericho throws a haymaker.

Cassidy fires up, runs, tilt-o-whirls, but Jericho slams him down! Jericho has the WALLS OF JERICHO!
Cassidy endures, pulls himself towards ropes, but the ropebreak won’t save him. Cassidy keeps crawling, and grabs a champagne glass. Cassidy scoops some mimosa, Jericho drags him back in, Cassidy manages to SPLASH Jericho in the face! Jericho staggers, Cassidy cradles, TWO!! Cassidy runs and hits the ORANGE PUNCH!!

Winner: Orange Cassidy, by mimosa dunk
What a win!! Cassidy breaks the tie, and now Jericho will have to eat crow and wash it down with some mimosa! Jericho said it himself, he made Cassidy into a main event player! Will Cassidy soon find himself in a main event involving a title?

AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley VS MJF w/ Wardlow!
Maxwell Jacob Friedman not only thinks he’s better than you, and you know it, but he also thinks he is better for you than the “Fighting Pride of Eastside Cincinnati” as the face of AEW. MJF wants to be on top of AEW for the next 25 years, and that is admirable, but Moxley won’t let it be at his expense. MJF also claims the Paradigm Shift is too dangerous, and he managed to get Moxley to sign a contract banning that move! Will he find that Moxley has plenty of other tools at his disposal? Or will he make good on all the “campaign promises” he has made?

Moxley taunts Wardlow to do something and get MJF disqualified. Wardlow stays put and Moxley throws forearms on MJF.

Wardlow gets on the apron, throws the Dynamite Diamond Ring in but MJF fumbles it. The ref is distracted, PARADIGM SHIFT!!! Cover, Moxley wins!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Turnabout is fair play! MJF wanted to screw Moxley over, but Moxley got him first! Moxley knows we now, but he just shrugs to the cameras. And now, the Maniac and the Murderhawk Monster are going to collide! We saw those two go to war in NJPW, will it be even wilder in AEW?
My Thoughts:
I don’t know if All Out went all out, but it definitely went hard! I could’ve sworn the Tooth ‘n’ Nail was advertised for the Buy-In, but I like that it got upgraded to main card and opened the show. The Buy-In matches we got instead were really good, and the Tooth ‘n’ Nail match was a lot of fun. Swole wins so I feel like she should be next up for a title shot after we got that incredible Champion VS Champion match for the AEW title. I already knew Rosa was incredible from her work just about everywhere, and Shida getting the win is big for her. The Bucks and Jurassic Express had a great match, but it seemed natural for the Bucks to win. But it was surprising that they were actually unsure of what Omega was doing after the also incredible tag title match. FTR win the belts so that their eventual match with Bucks can be for gold, but I feel like even the Bucks are surprised Omega is going down some other path. Is The Cleaner coming back meaner than ever?
The Casino Battle Royal was a lot of fun, it’s great to see Matt Sydal have a part to play, but wow that was scary when his Shooting Star misfired. Gotta check those ropes better, even if there was a lot of excitement going on. Archer winning makes a lot of sense, as he hasn’t lost since the TNT Championship match with Cody, and he’s already had experience against Moxley in NJPW over the IWGP United States Championship, which Moxley still actually has. Then things got scary again with the Broken Rules match. I don’t think they thought the table spot through all the way, they should’ve had a second table there as back-up. But thankfully Hardy was okay, at least enough to do what I imagine was a summarized version of that match. Obviously Hardy was going to win, though, he can’t leave AEW after practically just getting there.
The 8 Man Tag was a lot more fun than I expected, though I probably should’ve expected this. I am surprised the Dark Order lost, but I do like that it adds some dimension to the story with Cabana. Dustin getting the nod for the TNT Championship match this Wednesday is great and can also add dimension to the story with Cody, whenever it is Cody returns. On one hand, Dustin could lose and Brodie rubs that in, as having beaten both Rhodes brothers. On the other, Dustin finds a way to win, he and Cody have a rematch from a year ago for the title. Cassidy and Jericho had a great match, even considering this was the first-ever Mimosa Mayhem. Jericho put Cassidy over in his promo, sorta, and then put Cassidy over in the match, so that’s great for Cassidy. But I wonder if this is really over at just 2-1. Jericho seems like a sore loser and will insist on extending this, hopefully into Blood & Guts.
And then the main event! Moxley and MJF did a great job, and boy did MJF bleed! He was supposedly busted open from the catapult-into-post spot, but then it stopped bleeding, until Moxley unleashed those headbutts! I almost thought Moxley was going to forget about the Paradigm Shift ban in the heat of the moment, and him remembering added some great character details. I actually liked that Moxley cheated the cheater since MJF was going to use the diamond ring on him. MJF can easily bring this up but I feel like Archer will make things “easier” by intimidating MJF and/or destroying him with a Blackout bomb. Archer and Moxley bringing their NJPW feud to AEW is great, but I’m thinking they have it out long before Full Gear in November. Perhaps for a special edition Dynamite before the end of September?
My Score: 9.3/10

PLAY BY PLAY
MJF is here!
Phoenix is a bit torn over the Scumbag opening the night, but he and the Cowboy are set to have their face to face, with a strict No Physicality Order in effect. As such, Hangman Page makes his entrance next. The fans are ready for some #CowboyS*it as the two stare down from opposite corners. MJF throws his gum at the fans, which they boo, and then he grabs himself a mic. “I don’t speak Poor, I’m talking, thanks. The year was 2019. The first-ever event in the history of this event was Double Or Nothing. The first match in the history of this company was the Casino Battle Royal. The winner would have the opportunity to go on and become the inaugural world champion.
“I had the match won. It was the biggest opportunity of my life, and you screwed me. You cheap shotted me like a gutless little worm. So you know what I did? I had to scratch and claw my way back to the top. And I did so by beating some of the biggest names professional wrestling has to offer. Think of your favorite wrestler; yeah, I beat ’em! Though, looking down at my beautiful~ Dynamite Diamond Ring, I’m struggling to remember who I beat the first time I won this bad boy. Oh, that’s right, it was you. I then proceeded to go on to become a six-time Dynamite Diamond Ring Champion.
“I main evented, headlined and won the biggest wrestling event of all time in Wembley Stadium. I am a former International Champion, the best and longest reigning AEW World Champion of all time, the greatest wrestler on God’s green Earth, and do you know why, Hangman?” Fans tell MJF to STFU but MJF says it’s because he’s Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he’s better than you, and you know it. MJF smiles and soaks up the heat from Phoenix, but then Hangman takes his turn. Why is MJF talking like Hangman doesn’t know who he is? Hangman knows exactly who MJF is and what MJF has done.
MJF is 28 years old, and already has a history making wrestling career. Hangman will give MJF that, and MJF should be proud of himself. But when MJF listed all of his accomplishments, he sounded angry about them. All of that, and MJF can’t be happy. Is it because there’s something that MJF still hasn’t been able to win… from the fans? MJF tells Hangman to shut his mouth! MJF calms down, and says no, you think he cares about the fans? He doesn’t give a damn about them! The fans boo but MJF tells them to shut up! MJF thinks it’s funny that the hypocrites who is redeemable and who is not.
Hangman has had everything handed to him on a silver platter, because these shmucks woke up and just decided Hangman’s the main character? The fans cheer that! Really? A guy who drank another man’s blood? A guy who attacked innocent veterans in the locker room? A guy who stabbed a syringe through another human’s face? The guy who was low down and vile enough to burn another man’s house down to ashes? Yet HE is the good guy!? MJF mocks the cheering, and says yay~, Hangman’s the hero! Just ask the fans! To them, Hangman did nothing wrong. But these morons will chant Cowboy S*it at the top of their lungs… Oh, and there they go!
Do you feel that, Hangman? Do you feel all warm and fuzzy? Everyone loves Hangman Adam Page! But MJF has a question for him: After everything Hangman has done… Does Hangman love Hangman? Did Hangman love himself after ending the career of his mentor, Christopher Daniels? After he absolutely demolished that worthless, talentless, jobber hack? Hangman tells MJF, “Don’t you dare! Don’t you DARE! Christopher Daniels is ten times the man that you will ever be! And if I could rip out my spine and give it to him, I would do it in a heartbeat!” The fans cheer that!
Hangman says Daniels’ 32 year career, flew 100 times around the globe, and if there’s a wrestling company that mattered in their lifetime, Daniels gave a part of his life to it! He went down fighting! Fighting for his life! Daniels died a warrior’s death! Hangman knows CD, and he knows Daniels would not have had it any other way. The fans cheer that, too. Daniels took care of pro-wrestling, even when pro-wrestling didn’t take care of him. Daniels is the best of us. And men and women like Daniels is why MJF and Hangman are even in this ring, don’t you ever forget that. The fans cheer that, and they chant for “FALLEN ANGEL!”
MJF scoffs at that, but Hangman says that selflessness, self-awareness and humility of Daniels that MJF doesn’t understand. MJF doesn’t have the stomach for it. If MJF’s career ended tonight, and if he doesn’t wipe that s*it eating grin off his face, it just might… But if MJF’s career ended tonight, what would the fans say about him? Would they say MJF is a credit to their sport? To this world? Or would they say he was an opportunist and a selfish coward? A man who took every shortcut he could, chasing all the power and glory that he thought would win their admiration.
MJF asked why, after everything Hangman has done, the people care about him. Hangman will not be as arrogant to say he understands it, or to put words in their mouths, but he will speak for himself. Hangman knows what is right, he knows what is wrong, and he tells the truth about it. In five years, he’s probably lied 100 times, but never once has he lied to the fans! And if Hangman has had a problem, he has faced it head on eye-to-eye. He didn’t run from it, didn’t hide it, and everything he has had, he worked for. The AEW Tag titles, the AEW World title, and a family that through all of this stood by him unconditionally! Believe him, it was not easy!
MJF has spent five years cheating, scheming his way to the top, and anyone that stood in his way, he told them he was better than them. And Hangman hopes that for once, for MJF’s own sake, there is a small part of him that is wondering, “Is it true?” Because it’s not. Deep down, Hangman thinks MJF knows that. MJF seethes, then smirks, then laughs. MJF asks, “Are you a child?” Oh, sowwy Hangman, sowwy fans, did he not win fairsy-squarsy on his way to the top? Oh no~! Hey, newsflash, dips*its, the history books don’t give a damn how you get the job done. MJF earned everything. Can’t say the same for Hangman.
Because whether Hangman cares to admit it or not, before the doors of this company even opened, the powers at be decided they were going to prop Hangman up. He was their golden boy, their chosen one. Hangman walked in at 2019 with all the buzz and propaganda in the world. Wanna know what MJF came in with? All MJF needed was a scarf and a mic! Hangman has earned NOTHING! MJF walks better, talks better, looks better, dresses better, and IS better! Name one thing Hangman does better than MJF. NAME IT! Hangman says, “I am real.” The fans cheer that, and the mics drop. They’re face to face, but they have to remember the No Physicality Order.
MJF looks to the fans, then he says Hangman can be the main character all he wants. MJF has no problem being the bad guy. Another mic drop, and then the jackets come off! Security hurries up to the apron to tell them remember the order. Hangman dares MJF to do something, but MJF stands down. But then he SPITS at Hangman! The fans boo as we see the saliva hanging from Hangman’s hair…! Hangman bolts at MJF but MJF bolts outta the ring! MJF smirks, having turned his level headed choice into a cowardly move. Hangman DECKS security guard after security guard, then hammers away on one poor soul!
Someone pulls Hangman back, and Hangman almost swings on them, until he sees it’s Christopher Daniels! Hangman calms down, and Daniels tells Hangman this is what he was fighting for this whole time. Hangman knows who he is, so don’t listen to MJF. Understood? Hangman nods, and he heads out. When and where will The Cowboy get his hands on the Devil of AEW?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Renee Paquette is with Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong, and notes Roddy is in the Revolution International Championship Series, facing Orange Cassidy. With the PPV around the corner, how does he expect this to shake out? Roddy shouts “ORRRANGE! Cassidy. Man, I feel like we’re gonna do this forever. We are destined to dance forever. And I get it, you’re friends with my pal over here, Mr. Kyle O’Reilly. But that’s not gonna stop me from destroying you tonight, going on to next week to beat Takeshita, and going on to Revolution to defeat Kenny Omega.”
Renee brings up the conflict of interest for Kyle with The Conglomeration, but Kyle says The Conglomeration is not so much a stable as it is a lifestyle. They love to hang, they love to conglomerate, and yeah, Orange is Kyle’s boy. But Roddy’s gonna have to break that back. Cole adds that regardless of who is friends with who, Roddy whoops Orange’s ass. And that is Undisputed. The Kingdom is ready, but will they run the Revolution? Or will things be Freshly Squeezed here tonight?
Six Man Tag: The Patriarchy VS The Opps!

Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee is with the ROH World Champion and brings up how Jericho vowed to show Bryan Keith how it was done. He went to confront Bandido, but uh, did he accomplish what he set out to do given he just got pinned by Bandido at ROH Global Wars? Jericho says Renee should wipe that smirk off her face. What makes her think she can talk to Jericho like that? Renee isn’t sure what he’s getting at, but Jericho asks what makes her think he can’t have her thrown out of the building? He can, y’know! If not for him, Renee wouldn’t have a job. No one in AEW would have a job if not for him!
The truth is: No Chris Jericho, no AEW! That is a fact, not pro-wrestling rhetoric! Yet instead of getting treated with respect like the living legend he is, he gets nothing but vitriol and disrespect. Why is that? Is he too nice? Maybe the Learning Tree needs to give a history lesson. Jericho is The Nueve, that means nine in Spanish. As in a nine-time world champion, in multiple companies and multiple countries. Jericho is the guy walking down the street in Brisbane just a few days ago, and fans were asking to take pictures. Then Bandido is the guy you hand the camera to so he can take their picture.
Jericho tells Bandido got his biggest win ever, congrats. Jericho will give Bandido his chance at the ROH World Championship this Saturday on Collision. The bounty no longer means anything. Bandido gets his chance to beat Jericho, but Jericho gets his chance to prove that everyone is too comfortable around Chris EFFIN’ Jericho! Jericho storms off, but will he regret gambling with The Most Wanted?
Street Fight: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS “Big Bill” Morrissey!
Speaking of grudge matches, these two have gone back and forth with their brawling! They’ve fought backstage, fought in the parking lot, and even took this fight to Australia over the weekend with Global Wars! But it’s gotta end somehow!

Hobbs fires a body shot, sends him into a guard rail, then takes a fan’s beer can to SMASH Bill in the face! Bill ELBOWS back, UPPERCUTS, then UPPERCUTS again! Bill HAMMERS away on Hobbs, then talks smack on the fans. Bill ROCKS Hobbs, but Hobbs ROCKS Bill! The haymakers go back and forth, and Hobbs brings Bill around to CLUB away!
The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” again, and Hobbs pushes Bill to ringside. Hobbs LARIATS Bill over railing! The fans fire up, Hobbs high-fives a few, then he goes to get Bill on his feet.

That’s strike three and Bill is disarmed of the wrench! Hobbs grabs a chair to JAM Bill up! And SMACK him on the back! Now that was a base hit! The fans want more, so Hobbs SMACKS Bill again! The fans fire up and Hobbs brings Bill up. But Bill CRAKS Hobbs with the monkey wrench!! Bill gets his own base hit, the ref has a standing count on Hobbs, but the fans want tables. Bill tells them STFU and shove it! The fans boo but Hobbs is up at 9.5 of 10!
Bill brings steel steps around, then he goes back for Hobbs. Hobbs is busted open, but Bill BOOTS him right back down! Bill drags Hobbs over, then CHOKE SLAMS him on the steel steps! Hobbs sputters, the fans boo, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Bill enjoys seeing Hobbs’s blood on him, and even uses it like lipstick! Bill swaggers like Jagger, tells the fans to shove it, then Bryan Keith appears! Keith and Bill high-five, then they work together to haul the other steel steps around. They get it onto the stage, then they bring out more plunder from under the ring. Oh, look! A table! They set that in the ring while Hobbs sputters to his feet. Dynamite returns to single picture while Bill sets up the table. The fans rally for Hobbs as he leans against the apron. Bill stands the table up in a corner, but Hobbs drags himself into the ring. Hobbs has the trash can, and he SMASHES it on Bill’s face!
The fans fire up as Hobbs winds up again, and he SMASHES Bill again! Bill flounders, Hobbs rips his shirt away, and the fans fire up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs storms up on Bill, scoops him, but Keith is in! Hobbs drops Bill to PUNCH the chair! Keith panics, apologizes, but Hobbs CHOKE SLAMS him through the table! The fans fire up again, but Bill BOOTS Hobbs again! Hobbs tumbles to the ramp, Bill goes out after him, and fans chant “MEAT FOREVER!” Hobbs scoops Bill!? And POWERSLAMS him on the ramp! Hobbs then looks around, and he finds Bill’s backpack. Hobbs CLOBBERS Bill with the backpack!
Hobbs grins, and he dumps out the BRICKS that were inside! Hobbs then stalks Bill to the stage, where Bill put the steel steps! Hobbs ROCKS Bill with a right, ROCKS him again, and Bill is also busted open! The fans fire up as Hobbs fires off punch after punch! Hobbs stands Bill up to ROCK him, but Bill UPPERCUTS! Hobbs ROCKS Bill, Bill UPPERCUTS Hobbs, repeat! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs wobbles, but he kicks low! Hobbs brings Bill over, SMACKS him off the steel steps, and then DRIBBLES him off it! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs winds up to SMACK Bill off the steps again!
The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes up the steps, and he drags Bill up to join him! Hobbs pops Bill up, to SPINEBUSTER down through barbed-wire tables!! The fans are thunderous and losing their mind! The count begins, Bill is still down at 5, just struggling to get out of the barbed wire! We hit TEN, Hobbs wins!!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by TKO
The fans cheer as Hobbs is the Last Big Meaty Man Standing! Will this vindication be more than enough for the Book of Hobbs to turn the page?
Backstage interview Brian Cage & Lance Archer.
Renee is now with The Don Callis Family’s Murder Machines, and brings up how they upstaged the Hurt Syndicate last week. That was a rather bold statement. Brian says yeah, bold indeed. But take a look at them! It is easy for them to do! The Murderhawk and The Machine have something to say, because they have business with the Hurt Syndicate. But big surprise, they’re nowhere to be found. Archer says word is, Hurt Syndicate will be at Collision. So if they wanna put on their big boy pants, the Hurt Syndicate can talk with the Murder Machines about those AEW World Tag Team Championships.
But in the end, Cage & Archer will take them, and #EverybodyDies. Then will MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin accept the challenge this close to Revolution?

Luther helps Toni into the ring, and Toni grabs herself a mic. The spotlight is on her as the fans chant her name. Toni smiles, and says, “This whore you all adore… This slut you can’t rebut… This tramp is your NEW CHAMP!” The fans cheer again, and Toni continues. “On the other side of the world, in front of friends, family and former lovers, I faced the Woman From Hell. A woman… who broke my heart, took my title, and ruined my soul. Mariah May, you SICK B*TCH!”
But Mariah, Toni says she is also so proud of her. Because Mariah gave Toni the fight of her life, and then Toni won with her Small Package. “They say the best things come in small packages, but darling, you should’ve won protection, because I railed you with the biggest package there’s ever been!” Toni says Mariah has been defeated, exiled, and compromised to a permanent end. And now, it is time for a cheap plug. Toni stars in the new film, Queen of the Ring, in theaters starting March 7th, do enjoy. The fans cheer that! As for the championship, if Toni is going to be the best, then she needs to face the best.
Toni says women of wrestling, lend her your ears.

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
AEW returns as Renee is now with The Babe with the Power, and as Renee starts to bring up last week, Willow speaks up. She got one minute of precious TV time, and Renee’s husband of all people interrupts to have Marina attack her. Willow’s 2025 is already off to a terrible start. Willow tells Moxley, Marina, and the Death Riders that she is- OH WAIT, here comes Marina! Willow and Marina brawl, but Marina uses the briefcase on her! And then she send Willow into a road case, then KICKS her down! Moxley steps in and tells the cameraman to follow him. Things head to the stage, and the fans are torn as Moxley grabs a mic.
Moxley goes to the ring, Marina, Yuta and Claudio in tow, and Moxley tells Phoenix he’s gonna ask a question. “Do you know just who in the hell I am?” The fans certainly do, but Moxley says he’s the champion of the world, that’s who! That means this is his mic, that’s his camera, this is his ring, this is his arena, and you’re sitting in his seats! So nobody comes into his house and lays down some challenge to him like they’re somebody! He doesn’t care even if it’s the Rated R Superstar! And he’ll tell ya, Adam Copeland is NOT here! He’s still on his ass in Australia, facedown in the dirt! Cope made a challenge, but Moxley about popped Cope’s head off his shoulders with his bare hands!
So if Cope shows up at Revolution, Moxley will finish the job! WAIT! Jay White is here! The Switchblade storms out and tells Moxley to hush. White sees it is 4v1, but wait! The Bastard slither sin from the shadows! White says fine, more the merrier! But wait! COPE IS HERE!? Moxley is a bit surprised, but he figures he’ll still keep his promise. Except Cope slithers in from the crowd side! Cope CLUBS Moxley down then HAMMERS away! The Death Riders are stunned, White gets Pac for a BLADERUNNER to the stage! Cope fights off Yuta and Claudio, then SPEARS Yuta! Claudio has Cope, but Cope shoves free!
White is there to clinch Claudio, BLADERUNNER into the SPEAR!! So is that a Spear Runner? Cope then finds SPIKE! She didn’t make the trip to Brisbane, but she’s here in Phoenix! White also gets a chair, and Cope takes a swing! Moxley and Marina run away, get into the crowd, but Cope pursues! Will Cope chase Moxley all the way to LA? Cope grabs a mic, and he shouts for Moxley! “This isn’t your arena. These aren’t your seats. These aren’t your people! They’re MY people!” The fans cheer that! Cope tells Moxley that he’s probably halfway to the hotel, hostel, or whatever bridge he lives under. But he knows Mox will see this.
Mox is a COWARD! No nuts, no guts, no spine! He needs his goons, but guess what? As of now, Cope takes them out one by one by one! When we get to Revolution, it will be man to man, and Cope will kick Moxley’s ass! The fans are ready, will the Road to Revolution be nothing but Rated R?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee welcomes in The CEO, and Mone says, “Phoeniiiix~! Say hello to your C E O! It feels so good, Renee. And Renee, I don’t want any interruptions, no surprises, and no damn puppets, you hear me?” Renee says of course, no puppets. Just congratulations for the great win at Grand Slam Australia. This makes Mone 14-0 as a TBS Champion, and it feels like there is no stopping the Money Train. Mone agrees, there IS no stopping the Money Train.

Yes, Momo has chosen Mone and the TBS Championship. She will see Mone at Revolution to put a stop to the Money Train. Mone asks what the hell!? She just said no surprises! But if Momo wants to face Mone for the title, then show up to Dynamite next week and say that to her face! Mone has answered a challenge with a challenge, will The Dark Peach oblige?

Backstage interview with Max Caster.
Renee is now with Platinum Max and brings up his series of open challenges. He is 0-2, is he starting to reconsider his strategy? No, Renee, he is not. The strategy isn’t the problem, it’s how “Hangperson” was chasing him around the arena. That’s not what the open challenge is about. It’s about going eye to eye with the Best Wrestler Alive! And look into his eyes. He’ll tell you this right now, the open challenge will continue this Saturday on Collision, and he expects whoever answers to look him in the eyes, shake his hand, and get beat! Because Caster will prove to him and everyone else that you can’t be better than the best.
Renee wishes Caster luck, Caster thanks her and shows off his certificate. But just who will answer when Caster puts out the call?
Ricochet is here!
And he’s still wearing the stolen robe that belongs to Prince Nana. Phoenix boos the One & Only, but he grabs the mic to say, “Really? That’s what we gonna do? That’s how we gonna act, huh? Y’know what? That’s okay, because I would be angry and bitter, too, if I had to live in Phoenix, Arizona. It’s basically a poor man’s Las Vegas.” The fans boo but Ricochet says lucky for him, he has a helicopter waiting to lift him outta here when he’s finished. Because much like Kevin Durant, Ricochet is trying to get outta this boring ass town ASAP! The fans boo more, but Ricochet says fine, “You do you.” Ricochet will do Ricochet.
Because since the fans are acting like ungrateful animals, Ricochet will speak directly to the people at home. He knows they can hear him loud and clear, huh? Yes you can! But he needs them to understand that all the fans, all the booing, it doesn’t matter! None if it does! Because when you boo a winner, you boo into a void of nothing, and baybeh, Ricochet is nothing but a winner! Ricochet proved it two weeks ago when he pinned Swerve to the mat, 1-2-3! But in reality, Ricochet has been proving it from the moment he stepped foot in AEW! Let’s be real, Ricochet has been whooping the asses of all the favorites!
Ricochet whooped Swerve’s ass, Ospreay’s ass, Darby Allin’s ass, Komander’s ass! The fans chant for Swerve’s House, but Ricochet says that everyone here and plenty of you at home will never understand is that winners always have something to show for it. And oh does Ricochet have something to show for all of his success! Ricochet models the Embassy’s robe, the fans boo more, but Ricochet says check this. He is not content to just wear this. No, he came to AEW to wear championships. Ricochet will not be just another name on the roster! Ricochet will be the main name on this roster! He came to win, and more importantly, he came to win gold.
Ricochet says that is where his sights are set for 2025. He wants to be a champion here in AEW! Oh, wait, wait, let’s correct that. Ricochet will be a champion in AEW, because he’s too good looking not to be. But wait! Swerve is here! Phoenix fires up as Nana walks out first, sips his coffee, then shakes his head. Ricochet looks around, surely the Realest is lurking. Nana gets in the ring first, though, and has his own mic. Nana tells Ricochet he knows what he’s thinking. But this isn’t that. Nana wanted to take this time to talk to Ricochet one on one, so Swerve isn’t here right now. Nana knows they’ve been beefing these last couple of months, and he isn’t sure where that is going.
But one thing that Nana does know is that Ricochet is wearing something that doesn’t belong to him. Three DECADES, Nana has been in this business. In the ring, outside the ring, closing major deals, making champions, and heck, making history! And that robe has a lot to do with it. That robe right there represents pride, represents integrity, and represents those that Nana has walked through, and that we’ve lost. But one thing about that robe is that anyone who is wearing it has honor. Anyone that wears it has been bestowed the opportunity to be great. And Nana never gave Ricochet that opportunity.
Ricochet, honestly, if you’re still that happy-go-lucky guy, that winner that he always says he is, that humane individual, then just give the robe back. The fans chant “GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK!” Ricochet says Nana wants the robe back, is that all? Yeah, okay, sure. Take it from him. Ricochet stares Nana down, but then he asks what’s wrong. Is Nana gonna cry? That’s okay, we all have emotions. Nana ain’t getting the robe back. AHA~! Ricochet leaves, and Nana shakes his head. Nana tried doing this with diplomacy, will he have no choice but to let Swerve do things his way?

Mark Davis & Konosuke Takeshita flank Callis as he tells Cassidy, “I guess you’re gonna go tell everyone you’re the greatest International Champion of all time.

Phoenix fires up for Omega & Orange as Omega holds up the belt, the fans like how that looks! But Cassidy looks at the belt, wanting to have it back. Who makes it through this Revolution International Championship Series as THE champion?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here to follow up the Australia specials and move things towards Revolution. Great promo segment to open with MJF and Hangman, and MJF has his “Heel making a good point” moment saying how the “forgiveness” is rather hypocritical. To be fair, Kevin Owens has made a similar argument recently, but it’s still valid in all of pro-wrestling where some Heels can never truly go Face. Anyway, good stuff to set up their match at Revolution, including that moment Hangman has with Daniels. And as I said last week, Hangman VS MJF should be seen as an unofficial #1 contender’s match, the winner aimed at the world title going towards AEW Dynasty in April.
Speaking of the world title, good stuff with Willow and Marina brawling again, leading into Moxley’s promo that then led into Cope & White getting after the Death Riders again. I really thought Cope was going to up the ante on the title match, but he instead implies he’s going to use the next two weeks, the next four AEW shows between Dynamite and Collision going into Revolution to have matches with Claudio, Yuta and Pac in whatever order, and take them off the board. I would think Jay White and even Willow are part of that, maybe even The Gunns as they rejoin White in the Bang Bang Gang, which could be some really good stuff that branches off into other matches.
Really good Trios match from Patriarchy VS Opps. The Opps have a good theme song, but maybe a little too chill. That aside, The Opps of course won and it was of course Nick Wayne taking the loss. I still think we should get Joe VS Christian, and then that’s a smokescreen where Christian loses only to come back and cash-in on the world title. It’s gotta happen, it’ll help shake things up, and again, how can we ignore a new Cope VS Christian feud? Very good promo from Toni Storm to leave it up in the air who her next feud is with, and pretty good promo segment with Mone and Momo to set up their feud. But now that Momo said TBS Championship, pretty sure Mone wins.
Toni did name drop Kris, and Kris Statlander has yet to challenge for the world title, so maybe she moves up after what we’re getting with her, Rosa, Ford & Bayne. Great match from Kris VS Megan, but I should’ve figured Ford would get involved to screw Kris over. And naturally, Ford would beat up Kris and that’d cue Rosa to make the save. But how did they botch that so badly? The irony is this was a botch where next to nothing happened when clearly something should have. It feels like someone between Ford and Megan forgot what they were to do, because the easy option would’ve been for them to slip out of the ring, but it just ended up awkward. The tag match will be good, and we can still do singles matches after, but this was a bad hiccup.
Jericho had a good promo to call out Bandido, and I didn’t think the ROH World Championship would be happening now. With that, there might be shenanigans that help Jericho win, which is a shame. Good promo from Cage & Archer to call out The Hurt Syndicate, and we’ll surely get a confrontation on Collision that then makes the tag title match for Revolution. That’s gonna be some big meaty men slapping meat there, much like tonight’s Street Fight. Though, AEW really needs to clarify how their rulebook works. Given the ten count, this was really a Last Man Standing match disguised as a Street Fight. But naming conventions aside, still great stuff, and Hobbs getting the win works so that he can move on, perhaps to a title match of his own.
Very good promo from Ricochet with Nana, and you can bet the robe will be the apparent prize in whatever rematch we get from Ricochet and Swerve. And knowing Swerve, he and Ricochet could have one killer No Disqualification style match. Good promo from Caster to play off his Open Challenge losses like they were for other reasons other than Caster isn’t the Best Wrestler Alive. And y’know what? They mentioned Gabe Kidd showing up for Collision, so why not two birds with one stone? Gabe should answer the challenge, beat the snot out of Caster, then call out just about anyone he wants, because he’s Gabe Kidd.
Very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom, but what a copout on The Conglomeration not really being a thing anymore. Did they not want to put in the time to do a quick promo where The Conglomeration disassembles? I did like how Cassidy hugged Kyle and felt awkward around Cole, though. But still a great main event from Cassidy VS Roddy, and Cassidy winning makes a lot of sense. For one, The Kingdom can still do a feud with The Death Riders over the trios and world titles, but also, Cassidy really did establish the International Championship. Good stuff with Don Callis Family going after Cassidy, then Omega making the save. It’s also a good tease of Omega VS Cassidy for the first time since Omega was world champion, but we’re definitely getting Omega VS Takeshita at Revolution.
My Score: 8.8/10

Callis is beside himself! The men he chose over Omega & Ospreay just lost to Omega & Ospreay! Will these two continue to humble Callis as they head for the top of AEW?
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Harley Cameron!
The CEO is the Four Belt Boss, but the one that started her collection is now on the line! Mercedes didn’t take this wild Aussie seriously, and she still doesn’t want to, but she’ll have to if she wants to stay Four Belts Mone. Will Mercedes still be the Face of TBS? Or will she #FeelTheWrath of Harley Cameron?
An interesting note: Momo Watanabe of Stardom, who also won the inaugural International Women’s Cup back at WrestleDynasty, is watching from the front row. She is allowed to call whatever women’s championship match she wants, and Mone has plenty of titles, could one of them be on Momo’s radar?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is golden on the Gold Coast!
The bell rings and the fans are all behind Harley. Mone eggs Harley on, but then dodges her to lounge on the top rope. The fans boo but Harley tells Mone to feel the wrath! Mone says alright!

The fans count along, and Harley goes all the way to nine, then Puppet- NO, Mone trips Harley up! Money then DOUBLE KNEES Harley, and she stomps away on #MiniMone! Mone PUNTS the puppet, then she CHOKES Harley! The ref reprimands, Mone stops, and Mone bumps Harley off buckles! Mone chokes Harley again, sits her down, then runs corner to corner, METEORA! Cover, TWO! Harley stays in this and the fans rally up. Mone stalks Harley, talks trash, then CHOKES Harley on ropes! The ref counts, Mone stops, then snapmares Harley, to then METEORA again! Cover, TWO! The fans rally for Harley while AEW goes picture in picture.
Mone drags Harley up, picks her up, and rebounds her off the ropes for a BACKBREAKER! Mone bends Harley against her knee, but Harley endures. Harley fires knees to get free! Mone comes back with a basment ENZIGIRI! Cover, TWO! Mone grows frustrated but she lets Harley crawl away to a corner. Mone storms up, talks trash, and then CHOPS Harley! Harley goes to a corner, Mone brings her around to snapmare, and Mone wraps Harley up in a seated Cobra Twist! Harley endures, even as Mone CLUBS away on her chest! Mone mockingly “puppets” Harley’s mouth, then pushes her down to throw KNEE after KNEE! Cover, TWO!
Harley toughs it out but Mone is still in control, and Grand Slam: Australia goes to break.
Grand Slam: Australia returns, and Mone soaks up the heat. The fans chant “C E NO!” as Mone lifts again, but Harley makes it a BULLDOG! Just a little bit of Stratusfaction here and the fans rally up. Mone staggers around, Harley fires forearms! Mone hits back, but Harley fires a flurry! Then a DOUBLE CHOP! Harley whips, LARIATS, and LARIATS again! Harley runs up, but Mone catches her, spins her, and snap suplexes her! The fans boo Una Amiga, and they boo Dos Amigas! They even boo THREE AMIGAS!

Mone fights it, but Harley pump handles for the SAIDO! The fans fire up, Harley covers, TWO! Mone survives but the fans continue to rally behind Harley. Harley feels that energy, and she drags Mone up. Fireman’s carry, but Mone fights free! BACKSTABBER! Harley flounders and Mone basement DROPKICKS her out! Mone soaks up the heat, but wait! Harley has found Mini-Mone! And they’re both angry! Mone runs up, but Harley dodges!

Mone scrambles to her feet, but Harley drop toeholds her into buckles! Harley runs side to side, for a 619!! If Mone is Eddie, Harley is ready to be Rey Mysterio! She climbs up, to SWANTON FLOP as Mone moves! Mone hooks Harley up again, MONEY MAKER!! Cover, Mone wins!
Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
The CEO grins as she holds onto all of her gold, much to the chagrin of Brisbane. But if Harley did this well on her first try, will we see them run this one back soon enough? Meanwhile, Momo is there to sarcastically applaud Mone. Mone pie faces Momo with the TBS Championship, then swaggers away. Did the CEO just make Momo’s choice of championships that much easier?
Omega & Ospreay regroup backstage.
The Cleaner says, “As happy as I should be teaming with my good buddy, Will Ospreay, I’m still kinda pissed a little bit. Because for an entire year, I had to listen to people like you, Takeshita, people like Don Callis, talk about how you beat me twice in one week. How the International title is the pinnacle of this title because you’re defending it all over the world. Well listen here, Takeshita. You really wanna prove that you’re the best? You really wanna prove that you’re the rightful champion? I’ve got the time and I’ve got the place: Revolution, Los Angeles. Put that International title on the line and see if you can say you beat Kenny Omega three times.”
Omega says Ospreay has something in store for Kyle now, right? Ospreay says yes, mate! He never could’ve imagined he and Omega would be on the same team, but y’know what he never imagined either? Stepping into his own country, Kyle Fletcher’s own country of Australia, isn’t cheering him! They’re cheering Ospreay! But every time Kyle got an advantage on Ospreay, it wasn’t because of Kyle’s own talent! And as talented as Kyle is, he’s not good enough, because he has to get the Family in on this! Well let Ospreay tell you this, lad: They won’t be by Kyle’s side! They’re gonna be locked away while Ospreay and Kyle are locked in!
That’s right: Ospreay VS Fletcher, Revolution, STEEL CAGE MATCH! Let’s lock in! It’s time to see if Kyle really is that good! Time to see if Kyle really is the Protostar! Because this is Will Ospreay, and he is on another level! The Best Bout Bruvs head out, having thrown down huge challenges! Will the Callis Family put up or shut up?
Brisbane Brawl: Adam Copeland & Jay White VS Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli!
Speaking of common enemies, The Rated R Superstar and the Switchblade have put aside their differences to deal with The Death Riders, who have been holding the AEW World Championship hostage ever since they demolished Bryan Danielson. Will the WWE Grand Slam Champion and the NJPW Grand Slam Champion combine to hit THE Grand Slam in Australia? Or will The Maniac, the Swiss Cyborg, and possibly the rest of the Death Riders, make them regret ever picking this fight?
The fans sing along with Metalingus for Cope and he loves it! White then makes his entrance, no lyrics to sing in his song.

AEW Women’s World Championship: Mariah May VS Toni Storm!
The Glamour buttered up her role model so she could share the spotlight. However, it would seem Mariah was really just waiting for her chance to take everything away from Toni. All In: London was an instant classic, but it would seem Toni was taking her time to craft its sequel. Will the Woman From Hell make it another dramatic tragedy? Or will the AEW Women’s Division once again be Timeless?
Well, speaking of cinema, Luther is dressed like a movie usher, and he hushes the crowd before pointing to the stage. Toni’s old theme plays, and then the film flies off the reel. The lights go down, and back in black ‘n’ white, it’s Timeless Toni! The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and it’s time for another box office smash!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Mariah and Toni stare down, or perhaps have a scowl off? The two storm up, tie up, then just fire hands! The fans cheer as Toni gets the edge! Toni whips Mariah, Mariah reverses, but Toni goes up and over! Toni comes back to THESZ PRESS! Toni rains down fast hands and the fans cheer!

Mariah then runs to SHOTGUN Toni back down! Mariah stomps Toni now, but stops as the ref counts.
The fans sing for “Toni! Toni Storm~! Toni, Toni Storm~!” Mariah is annoyed by that, and she talks some trash. Mariah fireman’s carries, Toni slips free, GERMAN SUPLEX! Mariah flounders, Toni drags her back, GERMAN SUPLEX! Mariah sputters again but fans want that “One More Time!” Toni obliges, GERMAN SUPLEX! Mariah tumbles, rises, but then flops back over! Toni drags Mariah up, and GERMAN SUPLEXES again! That’s four, Brisbane is now Suplex City! Toni stalks Mariah, the fans chant, “RIP HER T*TS OFF!” GERMAN SUPLEX! That’s a fifth, Toni stalks Mariah to ropes, but is Mariah smiling?
Mariah slowly rises, Toni GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Mariah goes to the apron, Toni storms out after her, and waistlocks out there?! The fans fire up but Mariah holds on for her life! Mariah HOTSHOTS Toni, then YANKS her down! Mariah has a sinister smile now, and she runs at Toni to SHOTGUN her into railing!

Grand Slam returns to single picture and Mariah UPPERCUTS again! The fans boo, but Mariah whips corner to corner. Toni comes back to LARIAT! And LARIAT! And SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO! Mariah survives but Toni steps on her!
Toni has the legs, ties those up, and the fans cheer for the DEATHLOCK STF COMBO! The fans rally, Mariah endures, but Toni grinds her down with the STF! But then Mariah BITES Toni’s arm!! Toni DRIBBLES Mariah’s face off the mat, then it’s back to the STF!! The fans cheer as Mariah suffers! Mariah reaches out, crawls her way over, and has the ROPEBREAK! Toni lets Mariah go in frustration, but she stalks Mariah to the apron. Toni drags Mariah up, but Mariah pushes free! Toni HEADBUTTS her, and Mariah sits down! Toni runs up, but Mariah dodges! Toni POSTS herself, and then Mariah fireman’s carries! MAYDAY to the floor!!
The fans rally while both women are down on the outside. Toni stirs, as does Mariah, and the ref starts a ring count. Luther rallies Brisbane, but Mariah is on Toni first. Mariah puts Toni in, then climbs. The fans continue to rally behind Toni, but Mariah is up top! MISSILE DROPKICK! Toni ends up in the other corner, and the fans boo as Mariah backs up.

And SLAPS her! And SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! The fans boo, Mariah tells Toni to just go away! Mariah then hoists Toni up top, but Toni says no to the Stratusphere! Mariah DOUBLE CHOPS Toni for that, then climbs up! Mariah gives Toni a kiss goodbye, but Toni slips under! RUNNING POWERBOMB!! And then STORM ZERO!! Mariah flounders out of the ring! Toni has Mariah’s wrist, and she refuses to let Mariah get away!
Toni drags Mariah back in, but Mariah YANKS Toni into buckles! Mariah runs up to HEADBUTT! Mariah reels Toni in, and steals STORM ZERO!!! Mariah drags Toni up for another fireman’s carry, but Toni fights free! Cradle, TONI WINS!!!
Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall (NEW AEW Women’s World Champion)
A sudden turnaround, and Toni is triumphant! The hero has prevailed, and is now the historic FOUR-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion! Australia cheers for their leading lady, but this makes Toni and Mariah 1-1. Everyone loves a good trilogy, when and where will we get this story’s final act?
My Thoughts:
A great event for AEW here, though being tape delayed even just from Saturday morning in America to Saturday night, I had to watch out for spoilers. Didn’t work out, and I have unfollowed those accounts, but I kept most of this event untainted. Awesome opening tag match, and of course a great win for the Best Bout Bruvs. And logically, they set up big matches for Revolution. Ospreay VS Fletcher in a cage match is going to be awesome, but you can bet Mark Davis will be a deciding factor. Omega VS Konosuke for the International Championship will be awesome, but I guess Tony Khan is trying to smokescreen that happening with this series of matches. Cassidy VS Roddy will still be a great match, as will whatever we get after, but no, it’ll still be Omega VS Konosuke and I would think Omega wins.
The Brisbane Brawl was great stuff, but where the heck was Spike? How lame to bring that item back and then not bring it across the Pacific Ocean. But of course Yuta and Marina helped Moxley & Claudio win, Death Riders need that momentum going into Revolution. That’s not to say Cope is going to win just because of this, but it certainly sets up Cope for the comeback. Similarly, we have to see White & The Gunns reunite as the Bang Bang Gang going up against Claudio, Yuta & Pac for the trios titles, maybe even for Revolution. I still say this needs to come down to the Death Riders losing the trios titles so that all eggs are in one basket with the world title.
And then the Aussie win-loss record tonight went how I expected. Harley looked great against Mone, but yeah, of course Mone wins. Especially given they teased Mone VS Momo here. I would think Mone VS Momo is for the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship, with the main focus being that it’s about Momo beating Mone and having that victory really add to her résumé. Okada VS Buddy was also great, but similarly, Buddy just got to look great in defeat. At least they kept Buddy strong and added to Okada’s Heel Heat with that low blow. Buddy could probably fight his way to a rematch for Revolution or we get Brody coming for revenge, there should be a bit more out of this feud.
But the one win that was going to happen, the one I got spoiled on because it was so monumental, was Toni Storm getting her true revenge on Mariah May. It was a great match, roughly on par with All In: London, and it is only fitting that if Mariah won in her home country of England, Toni would win in her home of Australia. And as I noted, this does make Toni and Mariah 1-1 so you can bet they’ll try for the tiebreaker at some point, with Revolution being a logical place. A part of me wishes they’d kept the “Rookie” Toni gag going so that Rookie Toni would’ve been the one that beat Mariah, only to reveal she’s been Timeless all along, but the Timeless character is so good and fans love it so much, I guess they couldn’t resist going back to it.
