AEW checks in with MJF.
“This Saturday at All Out, there’s only going to be one possible ending, and that is with me becoming your AEW World-” Lee Johnson interrupts and MJF is upset. Lee says Mark locked himself in the room. What? Mark- He heard you the first time! Just move. MJF knocks on the door and asks if Mark is alright. Mark wants MJF to understand, he needs some time to get a way out of this situation. Wardlow kicks the door down to drag Mark out. MJF tells Wardlow to stand down, it’s alright. MJF gets in Mark’s face as he explains that ever since he was a kid, MJF has wanted to be a world champion. He has done absolutely whatever it takes to get to this position.
MJF understands Mark is afraid of big scary Jon Moxley, but MJF makes something clear: “There’s nothing scarier than being in the position of getting in front and in the way of my goals.” When Men get in MJF’s way, bad things happen to them. So Mark has two options: one, Mark gets in the ring with Moxley; two, YOU END UP IN A DAMN WOOD CHIPPER!! So the choice is Mark’s. Which monster is he dealing with tonight?

Winners: Jurassic Express & The Young Bucks, by pinfall (advance to All Out)
Now the Bucks will face Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy, part of why they don’t stick around to celebrate. Will there be a Superkick Party at All Out that derails the Jurassic Express?
AEW Media catches up with Jake Hager.
Big Hurt goes in and finds Orange Cassidy? Hager sits with Cassidy, they look at each other, then around. “Jericho wants you ringside for his match tonight.” Cassidy’s response is to move his leg out from under Hager, and onto Hager’s leg. Hager slaps the leg off and tells Cassidy it’d be smart to be there. Will Cassidy watch Le Champion take on the Bad Boy before all Mimosa Mayhem breaks loose?
AEW returns to Tully Blanchard and FTR.
Tully tells Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood that when he stood between them and said “This is what you have to do,” win the gauntlet and get the title match, it’d be back to the contender’s race. But they won, they’re going to All Out. Now the prize is in front of them, and they have to take it. They’re not going to give the gold and the prestige away, FTR needs to take it, and they’re the two that can do it. Tully will be in their corner watching the whole time. Cash says that Saturday, the AEW Tag Team Championship match is the most important match of FTR’s career. Everything they’ve ever said, done and worked for means nothing without those titles!
Dax says this match’s outcome is a 7 figure difference in their incomes, and as much as they respect Hangman, they like the prestige and honor just a little more. Sunday, they can be sore all they want, but Saturday, “You will #FearTheRevelation.” Their names are going in the record books. “Top guys, out.”
Tony Schiavone interviews Kenny Omega in the ring!
The other half of the AEW Tag Team Champions is here without Hangman, wearing a “We Love Hana Kimura” shirt. You buy one of those on ProWrestlingTees and the profits go directly to Hana’s mother. But Schiavone asks Omega about Hangman’s absence and all of that, but especially Hangman screwing the Bucks in that gauntlet and then getting kicked out of The Elite! What are Omega’s feelings on that? Omega says that everyone makes mistakes in life, we all know that. This is something Hangman will have to live with for the rest of his life. But what Omega and Hangman as a team must first deal with is All Out, FTR coming for the tag titles.
“Yes, oh my goodness, a lovelorn, a very lonely Hangman Adam Page, was taken by the cockroaches, FTR, and fooled. It happens!” We live, we learn, we move on, simple as that. But what won’t change is that like every team before, Hangman and Omega will defeat them. FTR at the PPV, bring your A Game, because Omega and Hangman will bring theirs. Yes, as always, just like at Revolution. But speaking of FTR and Tully, here they come, with another of those Styrofoam coolers. They walk down the ramp, Schiavone is worried but Omega is willing to let these guys in the ring and talk.
Dax says Omega and Hangman have had a great run. Dax is impressed with two singles guys becoming a good enough team to be champions. FTR has no problem with Omega, never have. And FTR wants a great tag match with them, something that blows all expectations away, in a match against two great pro-wrestlers. So to that, how about we have a toast? Chocolate milk, Omega can’t say no to the choc. Omega appreciates that, since he and FTR have known each other for all of, oh, three months now. FTR has gotten to know him well, and they’re right, he can’t give up “a good pasteurized, 2% pint of choc.” But uh, Omega can turn down spending any more time than he needs to with “a couple dickheads.”
So if FTR’s plan was to bamboozle Omega while he was alone, let’s get it over with. 2v1, right? Oh, sorry, 3v1. Sorry, Tully! Omega might lose this but he’ll get his shots in. Let’s make this quick, there are more matches tonight. But just do Omega a favor: keep the old man out, Omega can smell the Depends from here. FTR gets riled up, Omega is on his guard, and he even dares Tully to do something. NOW Hangman appears! FTR welcomes the big superstar, the hero cowboy we all love! FTR was waiting to hear from Hangman, who has very red, puffy eyes right now.
FTR wants Hangman to explain to Omega who got in Hangman’s head and made them do the things that he did. Explain to us all who made Hangman turn on the Buck so there wouldn’t be a rematch with their best friends, the Young Bucks! Because it wasn’t FTR. It wasn’t anyone else but Hangman. Omega and Hangman have known each other for a few years, but Dax has known Hangman for his entire career, and for his entire career, Hangman has been “Nothing more than an insecure little boy.” FTR did nothing at all but Hangman got stuck in his own head. So explain to Omega how Hangman only cares about himself, because he’s that much of a “piece of s*it!”
Omega keeps Hangman back because FTR is getting into his head, but Cash just adds that Omega already knows how big of a POS Hangman is. Hangman and Omega stare down, Omega tells Hangman that this is just because of the titles. Speaking of, FTR grabbed the belts, but then drop them at Hangman’s feet. Fans boo FTR as they leave with Tully, and cheer for Hangman and Omega. Hangman goes to hand Omega his belt, but Omega has already left the ring. Is it all but inevitable that FTR takes the titles and ends both the reign and the union of Cowboy and Cleaner?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Alex Marvez reminds us that Jericho VS Cassidy III will be the first-ever-anywhere Mimosa Mayhem match at All Out, and asks Jericho what we can expect. Jericho asks when was the last time you experienced something for the first time. Something you never thought you’d experience and might never experience again. Like kissing a woman, for instance. Fans will get to experience “the perfect culmination of 14 weeks” to finally decide who is the better man. Jericho says he has made Cassidy into a better man. He has brought out the passion and desire and viciousness in Cassidy, and made him into a main event player in AEW. But that is why Jericho needs to send Cassidy back to where he came from. Cassidy may be a main eventer, but he isn’t Le Champion.
Jericho will hit Cassidy with Judas Effect, tap to the Walls of Jericho, then toss him into 500 gallons of mimosa! Then Cassidy’s dreams and desires will be drowned in a little bit of the bubbly, and a whole lot of Le Champion. God help Janela, because he will be a sacrifice to show Cassidy what is in store for him at Saturday. “Bad Boy, things are about to get a whole lot worse for you tonight.” Good luck with your first kiss, Marvez. Will Janela have something to say about this “sacrifice” business?
Chris Jericho w/ Jake Hager VS Joey Janela!
That very match Jericho just talked about is up next! Will Janela make things bad for the #DemoGod before Freshly Squeezed gets to go All Out with him?
AEW returns as Jericho makes his entrance, and the fans get to sing with his theme song again. Cassidy makes his entrance, accepting the invite to watch this match from the stands. It seems Hager and Jericho are actually surprised he accepted. Another surprise is Jericho is wearing an official Orange Cassidy shirt. The bell rings and Janela ties up with Jericho to throw fast hands! Jericho knees and clubs Janela to the corner and fires off. The ref backs Jericho off but Jericho comes back to CHOP and CHOP Janela! Jericho whips corner to corner, clotheslines hard then snapmares Janela down for a neck crank. Jericho rains down right hands on Janela, lets off to soak up the heat and shout at Cassidy.
Jericho brings Janela up, back suplexes high and hard, then taunts the fans that boo. Jericho rains down more rights on Janela, soaks up the heat and paces about. Jericho drags Janela up, back suplexes high and hard again, and Janela gasps and sputters for air. Jericho stands on Janela’s pigtails and pulls the arms! The ref counts, Jericho stops and he shouts at Cassidy more. Jericho drags Janela up, whips, and forearms Janela down! Jericho can’t stop staring down Cassidy, but the fans rally for “Joey! Joey!” Janela hits back, Jericho clubs him down over and over. The ref reprimands the hair pulling, but Jericho slaps Janela around.
Janela throws forearms, Jericho clubs him again, then back suplexes. Janela lands on his feet, fires off fast hands and fires up. Janela runs and hits a BIG shoulder attack! Janela fires up again, whips Jericho but Jericho reverses to LARIAT Janela! Jericho paces, drags Janela up, and knees Jericho in the head over and over! Jericho throws Janela to the ramp, taunts Cassidy and soaks up the cheers and jeers, but Janela comes back to FLY IN, into a CODE BREAKER! Hager cheers as Jericho puts Janela in the WALLS! But Janela is OUT, Jericho wins!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by submission
But Jericho doesn’t stop, and he rains down rights on The Bad Boy! Jericho taunts Cassidy before he tears the top buckle pad off! He even throws the pad at Cassidy just to rile him up. Jericho has Janela up and RAMS him into the bare buckle! “See what happens?!” Jericho drags Janela back up, but Janela is bleeding! Jericho punches away on the wound, drags Janela up and smears the blood on the Cassidy shirt! “See that, Cassidy!?” That’s going to be Cassidy at All Out! Jericho tears the shirt off and tosses, then dares the SOB to get in the ring! Cassidy springs right up and rushes the ring! Cassidy and Jericho brawl, Hager gets in and throws Cassidy down!
Hager has Cassidy against the bare buckle as he and Jericho mug Cassidy! But here comes Sonny Kiss! Kiss CLOBBERS Jericho on behalf of Janela, but Hager SPINE BUSTERS Kiss down! Cassidy pushes Hager out of the ring and fires off on Jericho! Jericho shoves, Cassidy tilt-o-whirl DDT’s back! And kips up! The fans are fired up for Freshly Squeezed, but Hager saves Jericho from the super punch! Cassidy opens his backpack up to reveal his secret weapon: a bottle of the bubbly! Cassidy undoes it, pops the cork and lets the bubbly pour out with a thumbs down! Jericho is furious, but will he be all washed up when there will be the giant tank of mimosa waiting?
AEW shares Sammy Guevara’s post match comments after last week.
It was after the brutal Tables match with Matt Hardy that Sammy said, “Victorious at your own game, Matt. But look at this! Scar for a scar, Matt.” This grudge is tied, so All Out will be the tiebreaker! Sammy dares Matt to choose the stipulation, and he has chosen… A BROKEN RULES MATCH! Sammy vows that when he beats Matt, Matt retires, leaves AEW and never comes back! Matt says Sammy will have to go through hell for that to happen. They’ve hit each other with golf carts, chairs, tables, and their best moves. Sammy vows to go all out, Matt accepts the bet! Who wins, who gets BROKEN, and who stays in All Elite Wrestling?!
Sammy Guevara has his cue cards!
AEW is picture in picture, #SammysSigns, and Matt Hardy even watches from a perch as Sammy goes through the cards. “Last week, you witnessed the destruction of a legend. The dismantling of an icon. The breaking of Matt Hardy! The Master of the Table Match is no more! At All Out, not only will you (Hardy) lose, you will be DELETED! Gone from AEW, and forgotten! Long live the career of the Spanish God!” Sammy holds those cards up proudly but is he even aware Hardy is watching from overhead? Sammy does see Hardy, and Hardy shouts, “DELETE!” He has cards of his own! “At All Out, you will be… BROKEN!” Hardy has his ultimatum for Sammy, what won’t happen in a (Last Man Standing) Broken Rules Match?
Team Taz heads to the ring!
Taz leads Ricky Starks and Brian Cage and says, “Here’s the deal.” Saturday, All Out, one of these two athletes here will win that Casino Battle Royal. Darby Allin, if you don’t realize that Absolute Ricky Starks is not gonna destroy you, son, wake up! You’re dead meat!” And the Murderhawk Monster and his “buddy” Jake the Snake, cannot deal with the FTR World Champion- “No, no no no. Tit for tat.” Jake and Lance Archer are here to respond, an interruption for an interruption. And Jake tells Taz’s team are just squirrels trying to get a nut, but they ain’t busting a nut when Archer and Jake are here. “You won’t get none!” Taz and team will walk out with nothing! What Jake pictures here is “the best set of losers I’ve ever seen.”
Careful, Jake, if you get in the ring. Archer does get in but Jake doesn’t want him playing into the game. But Eddie Kingston and his guys roll up, and Eddie begs, “for the love of God,” stop talking! “We get it, Jake, you’re a legend! We get it, Taz!” This show is live, hurry up and save some time. No more talking. Kingston knows Archer is tough, but he ain’t tougher than Kingston. Taz used to be a killer, now he’s around big-for-nothing machines! But now, Tully brings #PERFECT10N, Shawn Spears around. Jake says Kingston’s been drinking, and Taz wants Kingston to make a point. Kingston’s point is that Taz is hanging out with Ricky Starks! “I don’t know whether to take him out on a date or fight him!”
Taz is sick of Kingston’s talk and speaks for his team! “These two men will fight all of you guys right now, especially you, you punkass!” Uh oh! Things are heating up, Starks punches Archer but Archer DECKS Starks! Cage tackles Archer to a corner, the Gunn Club jumps in from the crowd to go after Kingston’s guys! The Casino Battle Royal field is fighting now! And here comes Darby Allin! But where from? He comes in from the tunnel to TACKLE Spears! They brawl, Spears and Tully step back, and now Serpentico and a few others get in! Butcher and Blade clobber Gunn Club, Serpentico brawls with whoever, Archer throws someone out then clamps onto Fenix. Faboo Andre and a few others get in as Billy Gunn and Kingston brawl.
Cage tosses Serpentico over and out! D3 is thrown over and out! Archer stomps Pentagon and CHOPS him! Spears finally gets in to pick apart Austin Gunn, but wait! Here come Santana and Ortiz! They beat Best Friends, they and Hager are getting in on the action! But so do Best Friends! It’s even more chaos on the stage! Kingston’s guys regroup as the biggest unit in this match, Hager and Archer stare down but Billy throws hands on them both! Starks keeps going after Darby, Jake laughs as he watches all of this. Santnaa, Ortiz, Chuck and Trent continue their fight from earlier tonight, even using chairs! Refs finally appear as AEW goes picture in picture, #AEWAllOutBattle!
Archer and Cage tie up, Cage clubs and pushes Archer to ropes. D3 and Faboo return but get swamped right away! Best Friends and PNP keep brawling, Kingston tries to choke Cage out, but Cage and Archer actually work together to mug him! Then Archer BOOTS Cage! Hager goes after Darby for past reasons, Gunn Club goes after Archer, but Kingston’s guys form up around him to hunker down in a corner and hit whoever comes close. Cage and Archer slug it out, Team Kingston throws Faboo and Serpentico out, Billy goes after Archer again. Archer turns it around to throw hands on Billy, but Billy doesn’t flinch. Billy hits Archer back but then Archer ROCKS Billy! Fenix CLOBBERS Faboo!
Team Taz mugs Darby together, Trent has a sleeper on Santana and grinds him down! Billy picks a fight with Kingston’s guys but gets mugged by Blade and Fenix. Cage and Starks work together on Archer, AEW returns to single picture and only now does Santana, Ortiz and Best Friends get in the ring. Hager throws hands on Archer but Archer hits him back! Darby chokes Starks with his own chain necklace! AEW has to cut away from the chaos in order to continue with the show!
AEW takes a closer look at The Dark Order.
Brodie Lee says, “We do what we want, when we want. And if I want something, I take it.” He did just that with the AEW TNT Championship from Cody Rhodes. A Saturday Night Dynamite ended with a slaughter of the American Nightmare and the Nightmare Family. “You created this monster, and now this monster has decided to take over AEW. This is what The Dark Order does.” But Dustin Rhodes says that was all uncalled for. “It is unforgivable, and you will pay.”
Dustin, QT Marshall, Matt Cardona and even Scorpio Sky, all friends and allies to Cody, have united to take the fight to Dark Order! The best pure athlete in AEW in Scorpio, an all-pro with a chip on his shoulder in Cardona, and the Natural Nightmares. Four badasses with one common goal, they will succeed. Cardona knows Brodie is frustrated from being held back and pushed aside. Join the club! Cardona doesn’t even have an AEW contract but that means he has nothing to lose. Nothing is stronger than family. They may not be blood, but they are family. At All Out, Dustin vows the Dark Order will fall!
Thunder Rosa VS Serena Deeb!
The NWA Women’s World Champion wants to become AEW Women’s World Champion on top of it, so she tunes up with her AEW in-ring debut! Will she rain down fury before she looks to reign in two promotions?
The bell rings and Rosa circles with Deeb. The fans rally already as they tie up. They go around furiously, end up on ropes but then move right off for Deeb to get the arm. Deeb wrenches to a wristlock, Rosa rolls, drop toeholds and hooks the leg to even grab hair. The ref reprimands, Rosa shifts to get a headlock but Deeb gets up to waistlock. Deeb drags Rosa down to the mat, Rosa powers up but Deeb shifts to a headlock. Rosa throws body shots, powers out of the headlock, but Deeb reverses to uppercut! Rosa just scowls before she ROCKS Deeb with a right! Deeb uppercuts back, Rosa catches the next one to a backslide to arm-drag! Rosa arm-drags again then dropkicks Deeb down!
Deeb staggers, Rosa grabs hair at the ropes, then CHOPS her on the ropes! Rosa whips Deeb, Deeb reverses and crosses arms for a straitjacket neckbreaker! Deeb hooks a leg, rolls Rosa and grabs a leg to SMASH the knee! And again! And again and again and again! Deeb pulls back for a Half Crab, Rosa gets the ropebreak. The ref counts, Deeb lets go right away and Rosa is on the apron. Rosa forearms Deeb away as AEW goes picture in picture, no hashtag this time.
Rosa shoulders into Deeb but Deeb facelocks and cranks on Rosa’s head! Deeb turns Rosa in the ropes for a hotshot neckbreaker! Rosa flops down, Deeb drags her to a cover, TWO! Rosa pushes Deeb away, Deeb runs back but Rosa drop toeholds her to ropes! Rosa clubs away on Deeb then lets off at the ref’s count to run and straddle attack! Rosa fires up as she BOOTS Deeb down! Rosa stalks Deeb, kicks her while she’s down, then brings her up, and drops to a knee for a neckbreaker! But Rosa holds on to bring Deeb back up for another quick neckbreaker, then drops for the full neckbreaker! Rosa talks trash then drags Deeb to center.
Rosa runs, runs and drops a leg, brother! But Rosa doesn’t cover, she drags Deeb back up into a chinlock. Deeb endures, even as Rosa thrashes her around and clubs away. The NWA Women’s Champion is in control as AEW goes to full break.
AEW returns and Rosa KICKS Deeb hard in the back! Deeb writhes but gets up to CHOP! ANd CHOP! And CHOP! Rosa ROCKS Deeb with a right and chokes her on the ropes. The ref reprimands and counts, Rosa lets off at 4 then brings Deeb up for more forearms. Rosa waistlocks and bearhugs Deeb, bringing her down to the mat. Then Rosa gets the arms for a straitjacket stretch. Deeb fights up, turns the hold around onto Rosa, and hits a BACKSTABBER! Both women are down, fans rally, Rosa runs but Deeb clotheslines her down! And again! Deeb wrenches to hit a shoulder breaker! And then hooks the arm and leg for the IRON OCTOPUS! Rosa endures, pops out, Deb rolls her up, TWO!
Deeb runs at a corner but Rosa elbows her away. Rosa dodges, runs corner to corner and hits an A-List Lariat! Deeb is down, Rosa swings in for a METEROA! Fans fire up as Rosa runs, basement dropkick on Deeb at the ropes! Cover, TWO!! Deeb is still in this and Rosa grows frustrated. Rosa drags Deeb up, hooks her up in a Bow ‘n’ Arrow type rack, spins around but Deeb rolls her up! TWO!! Deeb kicks low, reels Rosa in, underhooks and traps the arms before she lifts, but Rosa kicks to deny the driver! Rosa fireman’s carries, for a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!?! Deeb survives, Rosa drags her around and knuckle locks for a cover, TWO!
Deeb hooks the arms with her legs to pop Rosa into a sunset flip! TWO, Rosa sits on Deeb, ONE! Both women are back up, Rosa spins, fires off hands and BACK HANDS, to a GERMAN SUPLEX! Deeb staggers up, Rosa runs and KNEES Deeb down! Rosa slashes the throat and drags Deeb up in a cradle, for THUNDER DRIVER!! Cover, Rosa wins!
Winner: Thunder Rosa, by pinfall
Deeb looked impressive against the NWA Women’s World Champion, but impressive isn’t better! Rosa is rolling to All Out, will she make history by becoming a champion in both promotions? Or will Shida stand her ground and defend her turf?
AEW hears from Jon Moxley.
“We’re here. I love it. Championship week. You made it, MJF, you climbed to the top of the rankings, and Saturday night, you get your shot.” Don’t sweat the process. Y’know, the nerves, the stacks of posters and autographing, photoshoots and dealing with the media’s same questions over and over a thousand times. Because on Saturday, when the bell rings, all those distractions, “all that crap” goes away and it’s just MJF and Moxley. Then there’s one question left to answer: “Are you ready and willing to kill or be killed?” The MJF that we see Saturday has to be the meanest, most savage MJF we’ve seen yet in order to take Moxley out. But Moxley will keep it simple. “2020 has been a bad enough year already, we don’t need MJF’s dumbass running around with the title on top of everything else.”
So MJF is here, this is his moment. “Trial by fire, kill or be killed. Suffer or look for a way out.” MJF thinks he’s hot stuff, but everything he’s done until now? That’s the easy part. Is MJF ready for the hard part when he finally faces Moxley?
AEW returns to Schiavone interviewing Big Swole.
Big Swole won the handicap match and has her match with Britt Baker in the All Out Buy-In! Swole tells “Brittany Basura Baker” that she’s been ducking and dodging for the longest time. That changes Saturday! At the Buy-In, Britt won’t have anywhere to hide, because Swole is showing up at Britt’s job! It will be #ToothAndNail! Another unique match, but someone has a special delivery for Schiavone. A pizza? No one called for this. It’s paid for! Yummy yummy! Swole can tell that’s just Rebel in a hat and mask, she ain’t fooling nobody. But then BLAM! Britt smashes Swole with a crutch from behind!! And again and again!
Britt kicks Swole around, and that pizza is real, because Britt smashes Swole’s face into it! And then SUPERKICKS her and the pizza down! Britt puts Swole in the Rings of Stretch, and then clamps on the LOCKJAW!! Britt says Swole wants to fight in her house, this is what she’ll get! Swole can only suffer as she and Britt roll in the pizza! Britt and Rebel smear more pizza in Swole’s face! Referees and security get Britt and Rebel to leave Swole alone, but will Swole make Britt eat crow when they battle in the dentist’s office?
AEW sets out the All Out Weekend schedule!
First it will be a special Friday Dark on YouTube to share all the dark matches from tonight! Then Saturday, 5 PM ET, the first half of the All Out Red Carpet on YouTube! TNT will have the Countdown special at 5:30 PM ET, and then back to YouTube for the other half of the Red Carpet! The Buy-In is 7 ET live on PPV, leading right into All Out 2020! Are you ready for the biggest weekend in AEW history?
Jon Moxley VS Mark Sterling w/ Wardlow!
We heard Moxley’s thoughts, and he doesn’t think #WeDeserveBetter if the alternative is Maxwell Jacob Friedman. And clearly Mark is still reluctant as Wardlow has to toss him out of the tunnel! And then keep him from going out the other tunnel. Will Smart Mark look pretty dumb in his AEW in-ring debut? We find out after the break.
AEW returns as Moxley makes his entrance. Mark is getting the nervous sweats as Moxley gets in the ring and the fans fire up for the champ. Wardlow makes sure Mark stays put and Moxley says a prayer for what he’s about to do. The bell rings and Mark wipes the sweat from his forehead. Mark and Moxley circle, Moxley takes a quick step and Mark springs into the corner! Mark is upset but the ref says Moxley didn’t even do anything. Moxley waits for Mark, reminding him MJF signed on the dotted line. Mark slowly creeps out, circles around Moxley, but Moxley doesn’t even bother to turn around. Moxley decides to give Mark a free shot just to see what he’s got.
Moxley has his hands behind his back, but then he questions Mark’s form. Mark says he’s getting ready to punch but Moxley corrects him on it. This fist won’t hurt your hand now. Oh, okay. Mark swings, misses, and Moxley SLAPS him off his feet! Mark wobbles back to his feet, Moxley makes another sharp step and Mark bails out fast! Wardlow asks what Mark is doing, and Mark says his ears are ringing. Wardlow tells Mark to get in but Mark can’t hear out that side. Moxley gives Mark another free shot, facing the other way. “Just drill me. Really drill me.” Mark runs and then Moxley moves, sending Mark tumbling out of the ring. Fans revel in seeing a lawyer suffer but Wardlow is furious.
Mark gets up, gets back on the apron, but then drops down because his hands are numb. Moxley goes out to pursue Mark, Wardlow even lets him. Moxley catches Mark’s kick, but then Mark pokes him in the eyes! Mark celebrates like he did something, then he runs, into a clothesline! Mark flounders back up and gets clothesline’d out! Moxley drags Mark up to throw him into barriers! Then he whips him into more railings! And then buries him in railings and chairs! The ref reprimands, Moxley adds on more chair for good measure, but then drags Mark out of the pile to DECK him. Moxley takes the clean white sneakers off Mark to beat him with them! Moxley then drags Mark up, brings him back to ringside, and puts him in the ring.
Moxley grabs a chair, puts it in the ring, but the ref says Mox needs to be careful. Moxley takes a seat to talk to Mark, then offers a handshake. Mark takes the handshake, but then Moxley returns the eye poke. Kick low, underhook, PARADIGM SHIFT!! Cover, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall
Was there ever any doubt? But Wardlow gets in and CLOBBERS Moxley! Then drags him up for the fireman’s carry and F10!! The ref reprimands but Wardlow just drags Moxley up for ANOTHER F10! MJF wheels himself out, throws the walker away and takes off the neck brace. All the complaints about the Paradigm Shift almost ending his career were, obviously, greatly exaggerated. MJF takes his time taking off his scarf, his jacket, and watch to go after Moxley himself. MJF rains down right hands as fans boo and jeer and Wardlow talks trash. MJF rakes eyes, puts Moxley in a corner and stomps away while taunting him. MJF unbuttons his shirt and knees Moxley in the ribs then digs his knee int Moxley’s face. “This is what you want! You want violence?! You got it!!”
MJF stands on Moxley’s head then has Wardlow hand him the Dynamite Diamond Ring. MJF puts it on his pinkie, Wardlow drags Moxley up, and MJF DECKS Moxley with the ring! MJF says, “This is what you’re gonna get on Saturday! You mad?!” MJF has busted Moxley open with that ring, then he BITES Moxley’s wound! MJF taunts Moxley to fight for the fans because it’s what they want! Moxley told MJF to be as vicious as possible, and here it is! MJF keeps punching the wound, there’s blood on MJF’s hands and face! Wardlow brings the title over and MJF takes it in his bloody hands. “THIS is the future! The next 25 years!” Will this be what we see at the end of All Out?
My Thoughts:
A very intense and savage go-home for AEW’s return to Wednesday after a couple weeks of special airings. The tag team grudge match was a great opener, and I actually liked that it was a dirty finish to keep things inconclusive between PNP/Inner Circle and Best Friends. I also like that they got in on the massive brawl of all the Casino Battle Royal entrants. For that matter, I loved that we got that massive brawl of Casino Battle Royal entrants. It starts with some great though messy promo battling, and thereby great faction confrontations. Eddie Kingston and team showed us the great teamwork they’re going to use in the actual battle royal, but I feel their chances of winning aren’t very good when the Butcher, Blade and Lucha Bros are mostly in the tag division and Kingston just got here.
The 8 Man Tag was great, especially with character work from the Bucks being much more focused, serious and aggressive, and Kaz even getting on Kassidy’s case. There was great cohesion even with all of them knowing they’d only have to face their allies. Bucks and Jurassic Express win and will have a great match that will surely propel one team to the titles. We got great stuff out of FTR, Tully, Hangman and Omega. FTR tries to be civil on the surface with the chocolate milk but Omega accuses them of being two-faced. Hangman shows up but doesn’t get out a word as FTR pins everything on him. Whether right or wrong, it seems FTR didn’t get into Hangman’s head but Omega’s head there, as Omega leaves Hangman hanging. I said last week that it started to feel like Omega might turn on Hangman, and that might happen after all.
Hager had a good bit with Cassidy backstage, and then Jericho VS Janela was a a good match. Of course Jericho was going to win, but his trash talk to Cassidy was good all the same. Cassidy going after Jericho and even getting some help from Sonny Kiss was good. The Mimosa Mayhem is going to be a very interesting match, and could go either way given Jericho will have Hager but Cassidy could get help from Janela and Kiss again. I wonder if Kiss and Janela will join Cassidy and Best Friends against Inner Circle, instead of Jurassic Express as I was first thinking. Janela could make Blood & Guts even crazier than before. I also liked Sammy having his card promo but Hardy having his own from the roof of Daily’s Place. Broken Rules being code for Last Man Standing/Extreme Rules is neat, and if the idea is that Matt Hardy losing means he’s gone, I have a feeling he wins.
The Dark Order VS Cody’s Friends vignette was really well done, and that 8 Man Tag will be a great match. I wonder if Cody returns during that match to sway things in favor of Dustin, QT, Cardona and Scorpio while also declaring he wants a rematch with Brodie. Thunder Rosa and Serena Deeb gave us a great match for both of their AEW in-ring debuts, but I wonder who that really helps. Deeb has earned her stripes and reinforces it here, but will fans unfamiliar with Rosa and Deeb understand that? Rosa is a champion getting ready to face a champion, shouldn’t she look really good? Or is the psychology that winning such a competitive match establishes that? Either way, it’s obvious Rosa VS Shida is going to be awesome, but I still feel Shida wins to defend her home turf.
The attack on Swole by Britt and Rebel was some great stuff, especially adding pizza into this. A shame what happened to the pizza but it adds some great last minute heat on this match. I like that it will be an “on location” gimmick match with this #ToothAndNail idea. That will be a lot of fun, could go either way since it’ll literally give Britt “home field advantage,” and I bet the winner comes out a top contender for the title. And of course, there was great stuff for MJF, Moxley and Smart Mark Sterling. Moxley dared MJF to bring out his dark side and I think he did just that. There was great heat on MJF with everything he did to Moxley, as a Heel should have, but I have a feeling MJF finally takes his first singles loss by Moxley in a gritty match worthy of that.
My Score: 9.3/10

Parking Lot Brawl: Trent Beretta VS Chuck Taylor!
Years of friendship, thrown away, and why? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Freshly Squeezed having more success in AEW than them? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Cassidy as a person? Because #JustTrent turned out to be the selfish one in the relationship? Well, then will #JustTrent get his ass kicked? Or will he take advantage of how Chuckie T. is a Kentucky Gentleman?
Trent stares Chuck down while we hear the crowd of other wrestlers taunting him. Trent takes a swing, but Chuck dodges to fire off hands! The brawl is on, and Chuck gets the edge! Chuck ROCKS Trent, then SMACKS him off a car hood! And then off the car door! Chuck drags Trent up, but Trent RAMS Chuck into the car! And throat chops him just because! Trent gets space, runs back in, but Chuck dodges so Trent hits the passenger door! Chuck gets a trash can lid and he stands Trent up. Trent jumps through the open window but Chuck drags him back out. Trent kicks low, and he gives Chuck a CAR HOOD BACK SUPLEX!
Trent grabs the trash can lid, SMACKS Chuck right in the head and Chuck falls down! The crowd boos but Trent opens a car trunk to bring out a trash can, a dustpan and a baseball bat! Chuck storms up but Trent CHUCKS the trash can into Chuck’s face! Chuck flounders and Trent smirks. Trent SMACKS Chuck with the trash can, CLUBS him around, and Chuck is busted open! The white car has red polka dots on it now, and Trent talks trash, “This is what you wanted?!” Trent runs up, but Chuck POP UP POWERBOMBS Trent onto a car hood! Trent writhes, Chuck staggers around, and Chuck brings Trent around.
Chuck headlocks Trent before he SMACKS him off another car door. Trent goes around the back and then up onto a truck! Chuck follows, and he CLUBS Trent in the chest! But Trent slips under, and he CLAWS Chuck’s bloody face! Trent DECKS Chuck and Chuck falls through drywall sheets! Trent looms over Chuck as he crawls out of the wreckage. Trent stalks Chuck, brings him around and SMACKS him with the trash can lid! Trent hoists Chuck onto a car roof, SMACKS him again, then goes back to the truck. Trent climbs onto the roof of the truck, to FLYING ELBOW from car to car! Cover, TWO!!
Trent is furious, but Chuck is still in this as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Trent fumes, paces around, and goes back to the goodies. He brings out… Is that a screwdriver?! And he JABS Chuck in the head with it!! And then he DIGS it into Chuck’s forehead!! As if he wasn’t already bleeding badly!! Trent leaves Chuck behind, to fetch what looks to be a flat screen TV. Then he brings out a wood door!? Did someone visit Home Depot before coming here? Chuck CHOPS Trent in return then fires haymakers! Trent CLAWS Chuck’s face! Trent grabs that TV and CHUCKS it, only for Chuck to duck it! Rampage returns as TV screen hits windshield! Chuck kicks low to snap suplex Trent through the door!!
The crowd is losing its minds as Trent crawls. Chuck gets Trent’s legs, to CATAPULT him into the truck’s tailgate!! The crowd fires up while Chuck gets a sinister look on his face. Chuck takes a piece of that drywall to SMASH it on Trent! Chuck gets that trash can, he SMACKS Trent with it! Chuck sees the pile of extra goodies nearby, and he uncovers some light tubes! But first, he’ll clean up the mess, he SMACKS Trent with the dust pan! And SMACKS him again and again! And then one more shot with the trash can! Trent writhes, but Chuck drags Trent up. Chuck SMACKS Trent off the tailgate, then clears some space.
Chuck climbs up, but Trent ROCKET LAUNCHES him onto the light tubes!!! The tubes shatter under Chuck’s back! Trent sputters, he’s bloody now, too. Trent puts Chuck against the car hood and stands on him! Trent soaks up the heat, but Chuck TRIPS Trent! Trent writhes, Chuck reels Trent in, Canadian Rack, RAZOR’S EDGE onto a windshield!! Trent writhes while fans chant “HOLY CHUCK!” Chuck covers Trent on the hood, TWO!! Trent survives and hurries around the back of this sedan. Chuck snarls, goes up after Trent, and they meet on the roof. They’re both so bloody as they fire forearms back and forth!
The crowd cheers Chuck and boos Trent, and as the two swing wild, they end up HUGGING! You GOT to give the people what they want, right? They stand, Chuck ROCKS Trent and reels Trent in, but Trent LOW BLOWS!! Trent has Chuck now, PILEDRIVER ON THE CAR ROOF!!! And then, SNAKE BITE!! Trent is choking Chuck out!!! Chuck IS out, Trent wins!!
Winner: Trent Beretta, by submission
The Best Friends tore each other apart, but it is #JustTrent that stands tall in the end. He’s clearly lost the respect of his peers given how the other wrestlers are chanting “You Suck! You Suck!” But wait, Trent isn’t done? He has a monkey wrench!? Cassidy & Kris step forward to say no, this is going too far! Trent says this is all Cassidy’s fault! And SMASH, Trent hits Chuck’s leg with the wrench, and even shatters the glass behind it!! Chuck clutches the already recovering leg, and now Cassidy wants after Trent! Kris stops Cassidy, Trent’s still got the wrench! Trent escapes into the shadows of the arena, what darkness is living in Trent’s heart?
Don Callis is watching this.
And he seems to like the sadistic savagery he just witnessed. Trent may not have Best Friends anymore, but could he end up with a whole new family?

PLAY BY PLAY
Swerve Strickland is here!
Prince Nana again leads the way as the NEW AEW World Champion makes his way out here. The Realest opened Dynamite with a win, but he walks back out to Daily’s Place to stand in the ring to finally acknowledge his victory at Dynasty. Nana says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the man standing in front of you today is the Boss of Bosses! The man standing in front of you today is the Anointed One in Professional Wrestling! The man standing in front of you is one hell of a wrestler. And he’s none other than the AEW World Heavyweight Champion, Swerve Strickland!” The fans cheer and chant, “Thank You, Swerve!”
Swerve says what a week we’ve had here in AEW! Let’s run it down: a NEW TBS Champion in Willow Nightingale; by the grace of God, Adam Cole can walk; Adam Copeland got misted in the face by The House of Black; Will Ospreay and Bryan Danielson tore the house down; and then… Jack Perry returned. The fans boo but Swerve says Jack’s back in AEW, and he struck Tony Khan, the founder of AEW, who put his faith in Swerve. On top of that, The EVPs, the Young Bucks are again the AEW World Tag Team Champions, and they hit Tony Khan with the whatever it is driver, and now TK is in a neck brace and who knows when we’ll see him in healthy condition.
Now, Swerve will be the first to tell everyone, he’s done some horrible things. Once, twice, three, four times. But something about four elite athletes beating down a non-fighter in TK, that sounds like a b*tch move to him. The fans echo “B*TCH MOVE!” but Swerve wants to get to business. The most important thing that happened this week is Swerve went into Dynasty and he made history by dethroning Samoa Joe and becoming the NEW AEW World Champion! Now, a pet peeve of his is those going around calling themselves “Best in the World.” But make no mistake, the Best in the World is the one holding this title right here!
Last week, it was Samoa Joe. This week, it’s Swerve, baby. And Swerve got here by fighting, but also by making sacrifices. Swerve says the night he won this title, he went to his daughter. She said, “Dad, I love you, I’m so proud of you. But I feel like I just don’t know you.” That hit Swerve to his core. His relationship with his children is everything. But he’s missed birthdays, holidays, basketball games, dance recitals, Father-Daughter dances, and he can’t make up for lost time. But what he can do is set the example and blaze a trail, to make sure this was all worth it. The fans cheer that!
Swerve continues by saying AEW has set people in front of him and he’s knocked them all down! Kyle Fletcher was just one. Now, how about an Open Challenge for the AEW World Championship? But only to someone who really wants to fight! So how about it, Jacksonville? We’re entering a new era in AEW, the Dynasty Era! And the elite of that era is whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But then here comes Claudio Castagnoli! The Swiss Superman is in a suit, not his gear, but he does get in the ring. Claudio circles Swerve, then takes the mic and holds up a finger. The fans still chant, but Claudio says, “You’re on.”
Swerve says see you later tonight then, in whose house? But then Claudio snatches the mic again! “It’s gonna be mine.” The fans are intrigued but Claudio is looking to end Swerve’s Dynasty the same week it started! Will the Swiss Superman bring even more gold to the Blackpool Combat Club?
Tony Khan has a medical update.
He is feeling grateful and blessed that he can still walk, talk and work, as was seen during the NFL Draft with Tony Khan alongside his father, Shahid, in the Jacksonville Jaguars war room. However, the doctors have advised TK not to travel, so he will be monitoring AEW Dynamite in Winnipeg remotely. Will that mean The EVPs will be in control of things in person this Wednesday…?
Unified AEW & ROH World Trios Championships: Bullet Club Gold VS Top Flight!
When it comes to Six Man Tags, the Bang Bang Gang runs this! But while they have six belts for the three of them, will that only weigh them all down against one of the fastest moving and fastest rising teams? Or will Jay White & The Gunns shoot Action, Darius & Dante outta the sky?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who holds all the trios gold!
The trios sort out, White starts against Dante and the two talk a little trash over how the Casino Gauntlet went on Wednesday. The fans rally for Angel Dorado as he ties up with the Switchblade, but White headlocks. Dante powers up and out, but White runs him over! White bumps Dante off buckles, but Dante dodges to fire off forearms! White knees low, bumps Dante off buckles again, but Dante dodges to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP again! Dante whips corner to corner, White reverses, but Dante BOOTS back! Dante runs up to CHOP! And CHOP! White swings, Dante ducks to KICK, KICK and KICK!
White blocks a kick to DRAGON SCREW the leg! Dante writhes, White drags him up, and White CHOPS Dante to the corner. White CHOPS again, brings Dante over and tags in Colten. They mug Dante, then Colten sucker punches Action! Colten tags Austin, they whip Dante to body shot, knee lift, and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! The fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” but Austin drags Dante up. Austin bumps Dante off buckles, tags White, and White RAMS into Dante again and again! White hushes everyone, to CHOP! Dante sits down, Colten tags in, and Colten drags Dante up to suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO!
Colten keeps Dante from his team, then tags Austin. The Gunns mug Dante, then Austin whips. Dante holds ropes, BOOTS Austin, then DECKS Colten! But White trips Dante up! The fans boo but Dante dodges White to slide in, dodge Austin, and Darius sneaks a tag! Dante ducks Austin to DIVE onto White! Darius rallies on the Gunns, then fires off hands! Darius whips, Action reverses, but Darius atomic drops! Darius then BULLDOG HOTSHOTS Austin, GAMANGIRIS, and the fans fire up! Action jumps in, Darius kicks Colten away, then he holds ropes down so Action can FLY! Down goes Colten! STEP-IN FLATLINER on Austin! Cover, TWO!

Cover, TWO! Tag to Colten, and BCG mugs Darius. Colten brings Darius around to bump him off buckles, then stomp and DECK him! Colten soaks up the heat, digs his boot into Darius, but lets off as the ref counts. Tag to White, and he drags Darius up to JAB! And JAB! And CHOP! White brings Darius around to TOSS back out! White then goes out to fetch Darius, the Gunns and Top Flight keeping each other at bay.
White SMACKS Darius off the apron, then the Gunns hop into the crowd to start up a “Too Sweet!” chant. White CHOPS Darius, and now the Gunns start a “One More Time!” chant! White refreshes the ring count first, argues with the ref, and that allows the Gunns to mug Darius! The Gunns get away with that while the ref is busy with White and Dante, but then Darius fires hands on the Gunns! Darius slides into the ring, White anchors him on the outside, and Collision returns to single picture. Darius BOOTS White into railing, hurries for his corner, but The Gunns YANK Dante and Action down! The fans boo but White clamps onto Darius.
White mockingly holds Darius’ hand out to no one, then stands him up to CHOP! White brings Darius around, taunts Action, then CHOPS! White wrenches, but Darius ROCKS White! And ROCKS him again! White CHOPS Darius but Darius PELES! Both men are down, White tags Colten! Colten tags Austin, they get in Darius’ way, then double whip him to the corner. Austin sends Colten in but Darius dodges, Colten hits buckles! Austin runs up, but Darius goes up and over and handsprings to hot tag Action!

Action BOOTS White, SUPERKICKS, then goes from a corner to SHOTGUN! White hits buckles, ends up in a drop zone, and Action goes to the apron! Action springboards, White gets away! Action ducks ‘n’ dodges but handsprings into BLADERUNNER!! Cover, BCG wins!
Winners: Bullet Club Gold, by pinfall (still Unified World Trios Champions)
The six shooter still had one in the chamber, and that’s the first defense for the Bang Bang Gang! Will they continue to prove they’re the best three man team in the game today?
The House of Black speaks.
Brody King says they told Adam Copeland what was coming, and the match at Dynasty went exactly how they said. And what’s interesting is, Brody now has two wins over the TNT Champion. They remind Adam of his own #CopeOpen, and The House accepts. But who knows? It might be Brody, it might be Malakai, it might be Buddy. On May 1st in Winnipeg, Edge finds out when the world finds out.
Rey Fenix w/ Alex Abrahantes VS The Beast Mortos!
Finally, the Immortal Firebird is back in action! But what an opponent to face as the minotaur of lucha has now evolved into something even more menacing! Will Fenix be able to fly like never before? Or will Mortos make him crash and burn?
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Fenix. Fenix and Mortos tie up, Mortos shoves Fenix, then powers him to a corner. Mortos CHOPS, then swings, but Fenix dodges to CHOP back! And CHOP again! And CHOP again! Fenix fires off CHOPS but Mortos just snarls. Mortos TOSSES Fenix to the corner, CHOPS and CHOPS and ROCKS Fenix with a right! The fans rally for Fenix as Mortos whips, but Fenix reverses. Mortos reverses back but Fenix springboards to CROSSBODY, into Mortos’ arms! Mortos swings Fenix, Fenix slips free and shoves, but Mortos rolls off Fenix’s back! Fenix dodges Mortos, Tiger Feints, but Mortos rolls to avoid the kick!
Mortos runs in but Fenix pops him up! Mortos rebounds, and then SNAP POWERSLAMS! The fans fire up for this “LUCHA! LUCHA!” exchange, and Fenix bails out. Mortos builds speed to TORNILLO!

ArkadyAura is now with The Professor of Professional Wrestling, and says that Deeb came out to touch the AEW Women’s World Championship. What message is Deeb looking to send? Deeb says it’s a very simple one. On one hand, we have the great champion, Toni Storm, someone everyone loves, and one of the greatest champions in this company’s history. On the other, we have the undefeated Professor, the obvious #1 contender. After everything Deeb’s been through, how hard she had to fight to get back here, failure is not an option. It is now or never!
And after four years of being told how great she is, and how she SHOULD be champion, it is time to prove it. It is time to accomplish something she has yet to do, and that is become THE AEW Women’s World Champion. Deeb tells Storm this isn’t a movie, this is real-life. And as such, will Deeb bring Storm crashing down to reality?

Arkady is now with The Wrestler, and she brings up the issues with Shane Taylor Promotions. But at the same time, he is going to be challenging Chris Jericho for the FTW Championship. Any last words before that match? Shibata uses his Google Translate voice-to-text to “say” that he is going to chop down The Learning Tree and take Jericho’s title. And any plans for Shane Taylor? Shibata “says,” Rampage will see him take on STP alone. But then Daniel Garcia steps in. Garcia tells Shibata-san that he has respect for him. If Shibata needs help against STP, Garcia will help him. What does he say?
Shibata takes a moment to type it out, and says okay. Save the last dance for him. Garcia nods and dances his way off screen. Will the Dragonslayer help The Wrestler take the fight to Big Bad Shaney T. Boy?
