That was definitely #GameOver! That was a powerful debut for the Best Man, will he pile up even more accolades now that he is All Elite?
Eddie Kingston storms right out to the ring!
No time for his own music, “leave the hard cam on!” Kingston is talking to the people at home and “all you morons here.” Kingston says that “If you don’t like social media and you don’t check it, it’s me and Moxley tonight, for THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!” Kingston was never eliminated from the Casino Battle Royal, so that is why he is getting this shot! And y’know what else? EIGHTEEN YEARS says he deserves this! Kingston and Moxley used to be cut from the same cloth. But then Moxley “sold out,” went to the Land of Sports Entertainment, but Kingston never did! Kingston stayed with the fighters, the outlaws and “didn’t sell my soul tot he devil.” So before having the match tonight and Kingston puts Moxley down to take the title, Kingston wants to look into “the entertainer’s eyes.” Where is he?!
Moxley storms out from the crowd and heads right for the ring! The Maniac gets in Kingston’s face but referees and officials hurry to keep the fight from happening already. Will the Mad King take his throne? Or will Moxley prove he’s still that guy Kingston knew?
AEW returns and Kenny Omega joins commentary!
Once again, The Cleaner chooses interesting timing on when he joins Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and good ol’ Jim Ross at the desk. He could’ve been in the ring alongside Hangman Page, but chose not to. Therefore, we get this 1v1 match!
Hangman Page VS Evil Uno w/ The Dark Order!
The Cowboy resisted the sales pitches of The Dark Order all last year, but now is confronted directly! Hangman won without Omega last week, can he do it again?
Omega talks over the introductions for Hangman. Is that a mistake or on purpose? The bell rings and Hangman circles with Uno as the fans rally up. Uno and Hangman tie up, Hangman puts Uno in a corner but Uno turns things around. Uno lets go clean and holds up the hand, “We Are One!” Hangman comes back, circles with Uno and ties up again.

The Dark Order is disappointed and upset as Hangman puts Uno back in the ring. The fans chant for “Cowboy Stuff!” and Uno is in a corner. Hangman hurries over but Uno uses the ref as a shield! The ref reprimands Uno, Hangman moves the ref aside and dodges the sucker punch, but Uno blocks the kick to hand it to the ref! Uno gets Hangman for a neckbreaker!

Uno reels Hangman in for a backbreaker! Cover, TWO! Uno brings Hangman up and throws him out of the ring, then takes his time going out after him. Hangman throws body shots and gets up on the apron.

AEW returns as Hangman CHOPS and forearms Uno! Hangman runs, Uno follows and elbows him at the ropes! Hangman flops out of the ring and the Numbers creep in closer. Omega may not want to be tag partners with Hangman, but he doesn’t like where this is going. Uno doesn’t let it go anywhere and goes to the ramp. Uno tells the Numbers to let him handle this, but Hangman gets away. Hangman goes around the way, Uno assures Cabana things will be fine, so Cabana and the others go to the back. Uno pursues Hangman and has him on the apron. Uno runs into an APRON BACK SUPLEX! Maybe Uno spoke too soon.

Hangman keeps his focus as he goes to the apron. Uno stirs, Hangman throws off the armband and slingshots, for the BUCK SHOT! Cover, Hangman wins!

Omega is pleasantly surprised. The Cowboy is on a hot streak, is he going to leave Omega behind in the rankings at this rate? Or is Omega just waiting for the right opponent?
AEW goes backstage to Tony Schiavone and the Young Bucks.
Schiavone waits outside the dressing room because Matt and Nick Jackson said they wanted to talk. Schiavone knocks on the door, Matt opens the door up fast and Schiavone flinches. Matt noticed that and tells Nick that he can handle this. Matt is glad Schiavone accepted the invitation. Matt knows fans have been watching the Bucks acting strange, out of character, and frankly, out of line. They should not have hit Alex whatever or the short referee, Mike Poser. Posey, but sure. Matt feels bad, and says the Bucks will be better about this stuff. But the fans surely understand. The Bucks have been through a lot, they’ve lost a lot, from title opportunities to friends. Either way, the Bucks will be better.
Schiavone gets that, and wants to get to the reason for all of this: FTR. Yeah, right to the hardball questions. How about another question? Then, FTR wins the titles at All Out, they defeat Omega and Hangman with the Bucks watching on the outside. How did that feel? Did FTR put Schiavone up to this? Is Schiavone ribbing Matt? No, not at all. It feels like one of those. Does Schiavone have his phone? Yes, but- Matt wants the phone. Schiavone hands it over and Matt SMASHES the phone against the wall! Oh, sorry, Tony, it broke. Matt keeps smashing it! Why!? What’s wrong? It’s his phone. Oh sorry, here’s some money for an upgrade. Matt goes back into the dressing room. Schiavone says this should be a new chapter for the Bucks’ biography: ruining their reputation.
AEW TNT Championship: Brodie Lee w/ The Dark Order VS Orange Cassidy!
Freshly Squeezed dunked Le Champion in mimosa and now has a title shot! Will Sloth Style get serious and take the fight to the Exalted One? Or will Mr. Brodie show his followers how it’s done?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and Cassidy takes off his denim jacket. John Silver snatches that to throw it down on the ground and stomp on it! Fans boo but Silver double guns at them. Cassidy just drops his shirt on Silver’s head. Fans laugh at Silver as he stomps the shirt in anger. Silver is given the TNT Championship to hold onto while Anna Jay hops up on the apron to talk trash at Cassidy. Cassidy puts her sunglasses on her and walks away. Brodie storms over, takes the glasses off Anna and has her join the others. Brodie drops the sunglasses at Cassidy’s feet. The bell rings and Cassidy’s first title shot also being Brodie’s first title defense finally begins!
Cassidy takes his time putting on his armband, raises his hands up, and puts them in his pockets. He unleashes the “brutal” shin kicks! Brodie stomps Cassidy’s foot and ROCKS him with an uppercut! Brodie throws the sunglasses away then clubs Cassidy on the back! Brodie stomps Cassidy, paces about and soaks up the heat. Fans rally for Cassidy as Cassidy gets up and staggers. Cassidy dodges, dropkicks Brodie out of the ring, and Brodie regroups with the Dark Order. But Cassidy builds speed and DIVES! The Numbers catch Cassidy and set him up for Brodie’s DIVE! Direct hit wipes everyone out! Silver still manages to applaud while Brodie absorbs the heat from the fans.
Brodie brings Cassidy up, puts him against barriers and CHOPS him down! The ring count climbs to 5, Brodie brings Cassidy around to put in at 7. Brodie stalks Cassidy and drops an elbow! Cover, ONE! Brodie argues with the ref but the ref insists it was just one. Brodie drags Cassidy up, CHOPS him, and Cassidy falls back down. Brodie kicks Cassidy out and lets the Numbers mug Cassidy for him! The ref doesn’t see this and Brodie goes out to fetch Cassidy. Brodie puts Cassidy in, fans chant, “Brodie Sucks!” but Brodie slingshots for a senton! Cover, TWO! Brodie grits his teeth, drags Cassidy up and throws him back out. Brodie hears the fans boo but the ref keeps his eyes on The Numbers. They wait until the ref looks away to stomp Cassidy more!
Brodie goes out and shoves Silver away! Brodie tells Silver to hold the belt. Silver does as told and Brodie puts Cassidy in. Brodie drags Cassidy up, whips him but Cassidy ducks and tilt-o-whirls, but Brodie powers out of the DDT for the SCRAPBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Cassidy survives and this match has already lasted longer than Brodie’s match with Cody. The fans rally up for Cassidy as AEW goes picture in picture.
Brodie sits Cassidy up, traps an arm and puts on a chinlock. Cassidy endures as Brodie grinds him down. Brodie lets Cassidy go to p ace about. Brodie drags Cassidy up, puts him in a corner and CHOPS him! Cassidy flops over but Brodie tells Silver to show off the belt for him. Silver does, but for too long, and Brodie shoves him off the apron! Brodie runs to drop an elbow on Cassidy! Then he clamps on another chinlock. Cassidy endures, flails, but Brodie just leans on him. Cassidy gets up, pops out but Brodie facelocks. Cassidy throws body shots, Brodie shoves and BOOTS Cassidy down! Brodie stares into the souls of the fans as he grins.
Brodie tells Silver to give the belt to someone more capable in the group, and then he goes back to Cassidy.

Brodie drags Cassidy up, ROCKS him with an uppercut, then ROCKS him again! Cassidy flops against ropes but Brodie has him for the ROPE GUILLOTINE! AEW returns to single picture as Cassidy gasps for air on the apron and Silver mocks his pain. Brodie drags Cassidy up for a HALF ‘N’ HALF! Cassidy is like a ragdoll but fans still rally up for him. Brodie stalks over to Cassidy, hauls him up for ANOTHER HALF ‘N’ HALF!
Brodie looms over Cassidy, hauls him back up, and lets him flop down. Cassidy sits up but refuses to stop here. Brodie stands him up and spins, but Cassidy sits down again. Brodie sighs and drags Cassidy back up. Fans rally, Brodie spins and again Cassidy sits down! Brodie is getting frustrated, but Cassidy ducks the boot to roll Brodie up! TWO, and Cassidy shoves Brodie into buckles! Brodie comes back but gets more buckles! Cassidy tries to Alabama but Brodie lifts Cassidy instead. Cassidy slips out the back, baits Brodie and sends him out. Cassidy runs and DIVES again! Brodie is sent into railing but Cassidy keeps moving! Another DIVE! Brodie again crashes into railing!
Cassidy puts Brodie in, dodges Silver and ORANGE PUNCHES Alan Angels! Number 5 goes down but Number 10, Preston Vance, grabs Cassidy. Silver runs back in but Cassidy evades, Vance takes the BELT SHOT! Cassidy gets in the ring, Brodie swings but Cassidy dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but still no DDT! Brodie tries to toss Cassidy but he holds on for a STUNNER! Cassidy hurries up top, Brodie stands, Cassidy hits the FLYING DDT!! Brodie and Cassidy are down but the fans are fired up!

Angels gets up, Cody elbows him away and springboards for the NIGHTMARE CUTTER! Cody drags Angels to a corner and SLAMS the leg into the post!
Cody drags Angels back into the ring for a FIGURE FOUR! Angels taps but it doesn’t matter! Cody tortures Angels in Brodie’s place! Cody finally lets go, but he is not done with The Dark Order! Will they be living a nightmare now that Cody is back in black?
AEW returns with Dasha and the Dark Order.
But before Dasha can even ask a question, Anna Jay snatches the mic away! She gets Dasha out of the way before handing the mic to Brodie. “You’ve GOT to be kidding me!!” The AUDACITY of that man, Cody, to return like this! Cody was gone for five weeks while Brodie was “doing the work of being undeniable!” Cody, how dare you! What kind of man sends another to do his work!? Did you not see what Brodie did to Dustin Rhodes? Or what Anna Jay did to Brandi? What kind of man lets his wife post Instagram “thirst traps” while calling Brodie “daddy?” What kind of man stays away in his little bubble? A man like Cody does! But Cody is no man! Cody is a coward!
Brodie demands Silver give him something, and then takes it while pushing Silver away. Brodie holds up dog collars connected by a heavy chain! He tells Cody, “You can run a long time, but sooner or later, Brodie Lee is going to cut you down!” Brodie is going to take the collar, wrap it around Cody’s neck and that “Godforsaken tattoo,” and Cody will have NOWHERE to run and NOWHERE to hide. Cody has one week to answer Brodie’s challenge: “Are you man? Or are you a coward?” A lot of strong words and accusations, most of which aren’t true. But one thing is true, and that is that things are escalating! Will Cody and Brodie become animals chained together, fighting for the lion’s share of AEW?
Matt Hardy and Private Party head to the ring!
The #HardyParty is back together, and Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy help Hardy through the ropes. Hardy’s knee is still in awful shape after the attack by a conveniently anonymous attacker. Fans cheer as Hardy gets the mic. Hardy appreciates that, they made his birthday even better. Now, last week, someone attacked Hardy from behind. Hardy replayed the events over and over, trying to figure out who would have the motivation to attack in such a cowardly way. Hardy remembers his heated confrontation with MJF, his “discussion” with Brodie Lee, and everyone knows the long history and hatred with the Inner Circle. But all Hardy can really remember was a mask and something steel hitting his leg. So how coincidental that Chris Jericho strolled onto the scene, brandishing Floyd the Baseball Bat? Jericho is the prime suspect!
Speaking of Jericho and Hager, what about that match Private Party had with them? They tore the house down and were so close to winning. The only reason they didn’t win is because of Floyd the Baseball Bat! Jericho had the audacity to still put Kassidy in the Walls of Jericho after the match! “The more things change, the more things they stay the same.” Jericho wants to be the Million Viewer Man, the Demo God, but he will always just be an a-hole. But here comes Jericho to respond! He and the Inner Circle are all here, except for Sammy Guevara who is still recovering from the Broken Rules match. Jericho lets the fans sing Judas before he speaks.
“First of all, hApPy BiRtHdAy, Matt. Who gives a sh*t?!” But there’s only four Inner Circle members because of what Hardy did to their brother, they teammate, Sammy Guevara! Hardy says it “couldn’t have happened to a better guy.” Jericho says Hardy decimated poor Sammy, put him out of action, and who knows when he’ll be back? But Jericho lied, Sammy’s back tonight! Sammy swaggers out and the Inner Circle chants for him. They hug! Now, to the matters at hand. The fact that Hardy thinks Jericho needed to hit him from behind with a bat, c’mon! He’s the reason people watch AEW, “because they know what a son of a b*tch I am.” And trust him when he says that if he was going to hit Hardy with a bat, he’d just do it to Hardy’s face so you could also see the happiness in his eyes!
So Jericho did NOT hit Hardy with this bat or any bat. But he could hit Hardy with the bat now if he wants. Hardy and Jericho egg each other on, but Hardy says he’ll take on all of the Inner Circle! It doesn’t matter if he’s cleared or not! Anywhere, anytime, any place! Quen and Kassidy have Hardy cool off. Quen and Kassidy need and care about Hardy, so he should take time to heal up and get cleared. Because Quen is cleared! And in case Jericho forgot, Quen laid him out! From behind! But why? Because Jericho ambushed his bro, Kassidy! Kassidy has Quen chill now. Kassidy appreciates Hardy and Quen having his back, but this is on him. Kassidy wants Jericho!
Le Champion, you may have won last week, but if Kassidy isn’t mistaken, he almost beat Jericho! Not once, but twice! So right now, here on Hardy’s birthday, Kassidy issues a challenge! Next week, 1v1! Yes, Jericho is a legend. Everyone counts Kassidy out already. But what if Kassidy, “a young 23-year-old kid, from the streets of Brooklyn, New York, beats Chris Jericho?” In fact, what if right here on Dynamite, Kassidy makes Jericho… “My Le Champion BI*CH!” Jericho is not amused. Will Kassidy get the biggest win of his career? Or will he just suffer the Judas Effect?
AEW returns to FTR and Tully Blanchard in the ring.
Schiavone is there with them to interview the AEW World Tag Team Champions and their legendary “executive consultant.” Tully says is a great pleasure to talk to a live audience, every week! There are thousands and thousands of new fans, and how in the world do they get to see the greatest tag team, FTR, who carry the gold? How?! You have to be creative. Normally, a 60 minute time limit for the title match. But Tully wants to change things up. FTR has checked into this, and says that on television, it can be 20 minutes, “so those new wrestling fans get to see what it’s like to watch guys at the top.” A brush with greatness, if you will. And, they get to choose their opponents! Next week, FTR chooses… What’s their name? Some acronym. Those SoCal boys, right? SCU, that’s it.
So there you go! The inaugural champions get their “brush with greatness!” A 20 minute match with FTR! If SCU can’t get it done in time, FTR gets the win instead. A blast from the past! Dax Harwood knows we all want to know who’s next after that. If FTR beats SCU, who is next up? The #1 contenders, Best Friends? The #2, the Young Bucks? Well, Best Friends had an impressive match and won, but c’mon. It was a “glorified backyard wrestling match.” That’s all those guys are now! Backyard, comedy- But wait, here come Best Friends! Chuck Taylor and Trent respond to the insults by saying, “Guys. What we did last week, that wasn’t a match. That was a WAR!” Dax mocks Trent’s comparison.
Trent says they should just get to this. Sure, they’re banged up right onw, but they’re here! FTR is here, in their “little red panties,” so just give them their 20 minute challenge NOW! Yeah, haha, right. But mommy ain’t here to fight Trent’s battles, okay? If they want their brush with greatness, then get a damn ref and let’s do it! A ref appears and this is happening! But wait, Dax keeps the ref from signaling the timekeeper, and Cash Wheeler says they can’t do this now. Why not? FTR are fighting champions but Best Friends doesn’t look 100%, so it wouldn’t be fair. Take some time, guys, rest up. Maybe in a couple weeks, call Tully and maybe you’ll get that shot. Until then, #TopGuysOut.
Fans boo but Chuck says that you can say whatever about Santana and Ortiz, at least those two didn’t run from a fight, “Like a couple of weenies!” If those two didn’t come to fight, that’s fine. The weenies hug in their entrance, but let Best Friends show them how it’s done! GOT to give the people what they want! Will FTR give Best Friends what they want in that 20 minute “brush with greatness” soon enough?
Hikaru Shida & Thunder Rosa VS Ivelisse & Diamante!

The women’s champions win and stand tall in this newest AEW NWA crossover! What more can we expect from these two champions and two promotions?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Isiah Kassidy is standing up for himself, what is Jericho’s response? “Deep down inside, I actually have a lot of respect for Isiah for showing some balls and taking matters into his own hands.” Some day, Kassidy will be a big star. Just not next week. Next week, he faces the biggest star in AEW, the Demo God! Next week, the only shots, shots, shots Kassidy gets are from the fists of Le Champion! MJF walks in and says hey. MJF is going to be honest as an “honest” man. The fact that that “dribbling little runt would disrespect you like that tonight? Deplorable.” It is, isn’t it? And hilarious, too. For that to come from “the undefeated, undisputed, uncrowned AEW World Champion,” that means so much to Jericho. Then MJF will tell Jericho this. All that coming from Jericho, “The man, the myth, the legend,” OH YEAH! That means a lot to MJF.
Jericho says MJF is great. MJF says Jericho is great. They keep going back and forth on that, but then ask, “Why’d you call me a loser?” Things are tense now. They both saw each other say it on television, Twitter, Instagram and Reddit! Does Jericho think is an idiot? Does MJF think Jericho’s an idiot? MJF says Jericho wasn’t the loser, it was the limo drivers! Those guys were reckless, with the two biggest stars in all of AEW! Jericho admits that is true. His latte splashed on his pants. But MJF isn’t a loser, Tony Schiavone is a loser! Oh, yeah, THAT guy is a loser! They bond over laughing at Schiavone, and say the other is alright. “Thanks, Dasha.” They both leave, but the point is: Will Kassidy upset Jericho next week?
AEW has more big news for next week!
Though she lost at All Out in her own dental office, Britt Baker is back in action! And Ricky Starks and Darby Allin will finally have it out in the ring! Will Absolute be able to put away the reckless and relentless underdog once and for all?
And on October 7th, it will be the celebration of Chris Jericho’s 30 YEAR career! And then after that is the Dynamite Anniversary, with Lance Archer facing whoever has the AEW World Championship! And that very match of Maniac and Mad King is after the break!
AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley VS Eddie Kingston!
Plans change but the show must go on! Moxley won’t get his Six Man Tag war with Hobbs and Darby by his side, but after what Kingston had to say about him, he’s probably fine with this. Will Moxley make Kingston see that nothing’s changed from the old days?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and this truly unforeseen main event begins!
Moxley and Kingston stare down as the fans fire up. Fans are cheering for Moxley and that annoys Kingston. Kingston and Moxley approach, back off, and tie up. Kingston headlocks, hits the takeover, but Moxley headscissors. Kingston pops out and the two stand off. They go again, knuckle lock and have a test of strength. Kingston cranks on the knuckle locks to bring Moxley to his knees, but Moxley fights up to kick an arm and wrench to a hammerlock. Kingston gets to the ropes, Moxley holds on until 4. Kingston pie faces, Moxley gives it back, and now they throw slaps! The two circle and Kingston CHOPS! Moxley CHOPS, Kingston CHOPS back! Moxley CHOPS again, Kingston CHOPS again!
Kingston eggs Moxley on, Moxley CHOPS again! Kingston takes a breath, CHOPS again and Moxley is stinging! Moxley throws forearms and CHOPS, then jabs! Kingston enziguris and LARIATS! Kingston drags Moxley up, throws him out of the ring and goes out after him with stomps. Kingston pulls on Moxley’s ears, lets up at the ref’s count, and clubs Moxley on the back. Kingston headlock punches but Moxley hits back. Moxley CLUBS Kingston on the apron but Kingston whips Moxley into the timekeeper’s area! And he dumps the table over on him! The ref wants them to get this back in the ring but Kingston throws things around as AEW goes picture in picture.
Kingston stomps away on Moxley, drags him up and throws big forearms. Moxley hobbles away, Kingston clubs him down! Kingston drags Moxley up but Moxley blocks the suplex. Moxley throws body shots and snap suplexes Kingston to the floor! Moxley gets into the ring just to refresh the count and comes back to kick Kingston. Moxley whips, Kingston reverses and Moxley is sent hard into railing! Kingston hobbles over to stomp on Moxley, then drags Moxley up to whip him. Moxley reverses this time and Kingston gets sent hard into railing! These two are fighting in the outer edges of the arena but Moxley brings Kingston back to the ring. Kingston kicks Moxley in the ropes!
Kingston knocks Moxley down and hobbles around to KICK Moxley in the back. Moxley sits up but Kingston is on him with crossface forearms! Kingston clutches his back and walks off the pain, but he dares Moxley get up. Moxley CHOPS back, and again, but Kingston headbutts! Moxley falls over, Kingston drags him back up and snapmares him for a trapped-arm dragon sleeper! Moxley endures as Kingston twists and stretches him. AEW returns to single picture as fans rally behind Moxley. Moxley fights up, Kingston shifts to a chinlock, but Moxley pries free and CHOPS again! Kingston CHOPS Moxley off his feet! Kingston eggs Moxley on as he CHOPS him again, and again! Kingston runs, BOOTS Moxley but Moxley LARIATS!
Both men are down, the fans rally up but a standing count begins. Moxley gets to ropes and drags himself up, but so does Kingston. Moxley runs and BOOTS Kingston out of the ring! Then builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit sends Kingston into barriers! Moxley snap suplexes him again! Kingston writhes but Moxley brings him back up. Moxley puts Kingston in, climbs up top and leaps! Kingston gets under, comes back but Moxley spins him for a clinch. Moxley throws muay thai knee after knee, then reels Kingston in for a PILEDRIVER! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Kingston saves himself and Moxley is frustrated. Fans rally up, Kingston gets to a corner but Moxley clotheslines!
Moxley climbs up and rains down elbows, but Moxley’s other shoulder bothers him. Kingston brings Moxley out for a POWERBOMB! Highs stack, TWO!! Moxley survives and Kingston shakes out his arms. Kingston aims, Moxley ducks the back hand to throw forearms! Kingston CHOPS again, and shouts at Moxley, “You left us behind!” Moxley forearms Kingston, Kingston CHOPS back! Moxley CHOPS back, Kingston grimaces to CHOP again! Moxley drops to his knees but comes back with forearms and headbutts! Kingston wobbles, boots but misses, and Moxley GERMAN SUPLEXES! Kingston is back up!? SAIDO!! And then ANOTHER! Cover, TWO!! Moxley still lives!!
Fans fire up for Moxley as Kingston shakes out his hands. Kingston CHOPS Moxley in the corner, and again, but Moxley forearms. Kingston SLAPS Moxley, Moxley SLAPS back! Kingston wobbles, Moxley hobbles, but Moxley blocks the back hand for a SLEEPER HOLD! Moxley leans on Kingston, shift to the BULLY CHOKE!! Kingston is OUT, Moxley wins!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (still AEW World Champion)
Did that prove to Kingston that Moxley still has that edge? His chest is as red as raw steak but he still has gold around the waist! But then the Lucha Brothers come out and DOUBLE SUPERKICK Moxley down!! Pentagon and Fenix go after Moxley on behalf of their other brother! The ref shouts at them all but they won’t stop! So here comes Will Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE BUSTERS Fenix!! And Pentagon turns around into a BIG right! Kingston runs into a forearm, too! Fenix and Pentagon regroup to DOUBLE SUPERKICK Hobbs! They mug Hobbs and Moxley, but here comes Darby Allin! Darby uses the skateboard on everyone! Moxley’s team was still here because of the intended match, but so is Ricky Starks! Starks SPEARS Darby right down!!
Absolute Starks fires off on Darby, Taz walks out as Kingston and his family beat down Hobbs and Moxley! Starks uses Darby’s own board on him with the JAM into his ribs! Kingston gets in Moxley’s face about their past, Starks tries to end Darby’s future by choking him! Then, ROSHAMBEAU!! Is Moxley and his team far from through with all of their common enemies?
My Thoughts:
Well, clearly whatever COVID concerns WWE and their Performance Center were having, it affected AEW as well. The main event changing was the most obvious sign of that, but also the fact that in the Young Bucks interview segment, we didn’t even see Nick. Perhaps Nick was also in contact with the unnamed person and needed to isolate, but Matt still did a good job adding onto the apparent Heel turn for the Bucks smashing up Schiavone’s phone. I also like that Omega’s turn was in question tonight as he at least voiced concern about Hangman being outnumbered against The Dark Order. But Hangman proved he can take care of himself, and I still fully expect Omega to try and stand in his way of a singles championship opportunity.
Miro & Sabian VS Jersey’s Finest really worried me at many parts. It felt like they were all going a step too fast, such as with Miro hobbling at one point and Kip more or less taking a header during that alley-oop spot. They also weren’t that careful with the toss to apron back suplex, that could’ve gone better for Janela. But Miro and Sabian win, and perhaps this is both a way for Miro to have immediate success in AEW while also helping Sabian get back on track after losing Jimmy Havoc as a tag partner. The tag division is already so deep, so you also have to commend the idea of 20 minute time limit matches between FTR and other big name teams. I liked their interaction with Best Friends here, especially from Best Friends’ side. FTR VS SCU next week is going to be great, but I’m thinking at best, it’s the time limit draw.
Brodie VS Cassidy was a great TNT Championship match, there were a lot of great gags with Silver, and while Cody’s return was all but obvious, I like how he did it. He waited for the match to be over, he gave himself that insane amount of fanfare and pyro, and he wrecked the Numbers. Also of note, Reynolds was absent. Was he also in contact with the unnamed person or was he THE person? That aside, Brodie’s promo after was great, in that he spun everything around to make himself the good guy, a classic Heel move. A dog collar match is a blast from the past for sure, and of course Cody will accept because I bet that was his idea! That will surely be for the anniversary show since Brodie wants to hear the answer next week.
Speaking of next week, celebrating Jericho’s 30 years in wrestling with a match against Kassidy is great. I figured the assumption would be Jericho did it, and I figured Jericho would deny it. Now, Jericho said he didn’t hit Hardy with a bat, but that doesn’t mean Sammy didn’t, since Sammy is back this week and could’ve easily been secretly back last week. Jericho’s segment with MJF was great, too. I like that they both brought up the segment from a couple weeks ago, but each found a way to weasel out of insulting the other. I wonder if at some point, passive aggressive becomes actual aggressive, and that is when MJF debuts the faction he teased maybe putting together. MJF VS Jericho, Wardlow VS Hager, the three new guys against Sammy, Santana and Ortiz in whatever fashion, that’d be fun.
The women’s tag was great, and though there were still some timing issues, there weren’t any obvious personal issues with Ivelisse and Thunder Rosa. The singles champions win together, which is fine since it keeps contender lines clear. It really is a mystery about how this partnership of NWA and AEW will continue, but if it can grow stronger, it’ll clearly be great for both companies. And for the time being, it also seems focused in the women’s divisions, which makes sense as the depth and attention to AEW’s is not quite what everyone was expecting. Perhaps having such a deep tag division is taking away from the women’s division? Just curious.
The new main event we got of Moxley and Kingston was amazing, especially considering it wasn’t the original plan. Kingston bringing up their past was brilliant, and these guys really went hard. I like that there was a way for them to bring in Hobbs and Darby since they were clearly here for the original Six Man Tag and didn’t get to do it now. Darby and Starks are having their match next week, but I wonder if things circle back so that Darby, Hobbs and Moxley still get to team together, just against Kingston and the Lucha Brothers for the “go-home” on 10/7. Archer can even interfere in some way to keep Moxley from being the one in the decision and maybe Hobbs takes the loss. There’s ways to still get what was planned in part, I hope AEW can do it.
My Score: 9.3/10

Jon Moxley & PAC w/ The Death Riders VS Orange Cassidy & Jay White!
It was last Saturday that the AEW World Champion and his band of rogues almost poisoned Freshly Squeezed, if not for FTR saving him. And it was last Wednesday that Pac & Wheeler Yuta almost got one over on The Switchblade, if not for Jay White’s top tier toughness. But will tonight be the night The Maniac & The Bastard destroy their enemies once and for all? Or will unlikely allies be able to win another battle in this war for AEW’s soul?

Captain Charisma is clearly in no rush to cash in his Casino Gauntlet contract, or else he’d be much closer to the action.

Cover, ONE, but Darby holds onto Komander. Komander fights up, powers up but can’t power out as Darby holds on tight. Komander powers Darby to a corner, fires body shots, then wrenches to whip.

Komander goes up, tightrope walks, and ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAGS, but Darby counters to WRING Komander out! Darby rolls into a LA MAGISTROL, TWO! Darby clearly watched Rampage last night, and he makes sure to keep Komander grounded with another chinlock. Komander fights up so Darby throws him out! Darby builds speed but Komander DUMPS Darby! Then ASAI MOONSAULTS! Direct hit and the fans fire up! Komander hurries to put Darby back in the ring, and the fans rally behind Komander. Komander aims from the corner, runs corner to corner, and goes up, up and PHOENIX SPLASH! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Darby survives, but Komander clamps on a chinlock. Komander grinds Darby down, but Darby fights up to fire body shots. Darby runs, but Komander SUPERKICKS him out!

Darby grabs a chair, but he sets it up to make Komander take a seat. Darby fires hands, then he rolls into the ring. Darby has a wild grin and he builds speed, to DIVE! But he only gets chair!!
The fans lose their minds while both men are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Darby as Darby clutches his lower back. Darby is somehow still okay to continue, so Komander shoves him into the ring. Cover, TWO!!

Callis says Renee needs to use more superlatives for Konosuke. Booming? This is domination! But then Will Hobbs steps in! Callis says hey, Powerhouse, welcome back! Hobbs stops Callis and tells him to back up. It seems Callis forgot Hobbs’ email, phone number, address, didn’t even think to check on him at all. Right? Right. So let’s keep this short and sweet: Hobbs wants what Konosuke has. Hobbs wants to be AEW International Champion!
Callis says hey, what is going on here? They have history! Hobbs is going to step to Konosuke? Duh. Well, okay, yeah, Callis admits Hobbs deserves a shot.

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Renee is now with La Mera Mera and brings up how Rosa’s keeping a close eye on Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa. Yes, let’s do the math: the last time Rosa was in the ring with Mariah May, Rosa won; last time Rosa was in the ring with Mina Shirakawa, Rosa won. So therefore, she is 2-0 against them, so Rosa is pretty sure she deserves the next shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship, regardless of who wins. And yes, Mina is an excellent wrestler, it would be an honor for Rosa to face her again. As for Mariah, well, Rosa brings out a looong list, and though it’s all Espanol, it’s all bad. The point is, it will be so much fun to beat Mariah until she cries!
Winter is Coming and the title match can go either way, but one thing that won’t change is that Rosa is La Mera Mera! Women’s Wrestling in AEW is alive and well! And as long as the fans believe in Rosa, she’ll scratch, claw, and fight until she gets the title back! So tell this to everyone: Good luck, you’re gonna need it. Rosa heads out, all fired up, but who will she look to burn after Mariah and Mina have it out?
The Death Riders are here!
Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Pac & Wheeler Yuta make their way through the GalaxyCon crowd to go right to the ring. Moxley grabs a mic and paces around. “People wanna talk? Then let’s talk, Ohio. Let’s talk about people who don’t wanna be AEW World Champion. And there’s a lot of them. There’s not a single soul in this building that wants to be AEW World Champion. They think they do, they say they do, but they don’t.” The fans chant for “Freshly Squeezed!” but Moxley says no, “they are not ready to make the sacrifices necessary. They are not ready to shoulder the weight. They are not willing to put themselves in harm’s way.
“Yeah, they wanna hold the belt and shine it up real nice, hold it up over their head and take pictures with it. They wanna strap it around their waists, but quite frankly, none of them deserve tot even lay eyes on the AEW World Championship, and it is MY responsibility to make sure that they don’t!” Is that why it’s been in the briefcase this whole time? Moxley says he’s talking about guys like Switchblade Jay White. Jay White is one hell of a competitor, one hell of a wrestler, and Moxley has a lot of respect for him. But Jay White is a child! Jay White doesn’t know the first thing about what it takes to be world champion!
The fans boo, but Moxley says Hangman Adam Page is self-destructive, miserable and insecure. He’ll probably take himself out of the game before he even sniffs another world championship! The fans cheer for #CowboyS*it, but Moxley says none of these guys really want it. And then there’s Orange Cassidy. “We found out at Full Gear exactly who Orange Cassidy was. He was not the guy. His peers hoped that he was, but he was not ‘The One.’ He was not the one foretold of in the prophecy. He did NOT have what it takes to get the job done! My only regret is that I let Orange Cassidy leave New Jersey with his skull intact!”
The fans boo and call BS, but Moxley tells Cassidy one last time, and he’ll tell the world one time so they better listen! “In a business full of pretend, full of talk, full of a bunch of talk and no action, I MEAN WHAT I SAY, and I don’t bluff.” If Cassidy pisses Moxley off one more time, Moxley takes him off the board for good. Well here comes Cassidy! Cassidy walks to the ring and Moxley already has a headache. Cassidy rolls into the ring, right past Pac, and then looks at the briefcase in Marina’s hands. Cassidy then looks Moxley up and down, then he brings out a mic from inside the jacket.
The fans cheer Cassidy on, and he says, “I can live without ever being the AEW World Champion. But see, what I can’t live with is you as the AEW World Champion. So I’m going to do whatever it takes, I’m never going to stop, until you are not the AEW World Champion.” The fans cheer that! Cassidy says the only way he stops is if Moxley kills him. Cassidy then throws his mic down at Moxley, then throws his sunglasses! And then his jacket! And his shirt! Cassidy eggs The Death Riders on, but it’s Marina who SMACKS him down with the briefcase! And then the gang all stomps away on him!
The fans boo, but Moxley rains down fists! Moxley CLAWS Cassidy’s eyes, then has Pac drag Cassidy up. Pac TOSSES Cassidy out, then Yuta goes out to tell him this is what he gets! Yuta and Pac drag Cassidy from ramp to the side of the stage! And then to the back? Moxley & Marina follow, where are The Death Riders taking Cassidy?
FTR speaks!
The #TopGuys are backstage as Cash Wheeler says, “So it’s funny, because for the better part of ten years, we’ve done everything we could to go down in history as the best. We have fought to be the most decorated, fought to go down in history as THE best tag team to ever do this. And then, a few months ago, Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina, and it’s not about wrestling anymore, it’s not about tag team gold anymore. Now, we fight for the fallen.” Dax Harwood says on Wednesday, January 1st, it is a monumental day for AEW. The first time ever, on TBS and streaming for HBO Max, it will be AEW Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen!
But even more than that, it is a big day for FTR as they spearhead the event coming to Ashville, North Carolina, to save people, save lives, raise money and raise awareness. And perhaps most importantly, FTR is building a… Oh, what’s going on? OH, the Death Riders are dragging Cassidy through here! Marina fights off security and staff, and Moxley has another bottle of cleaning solution! He says he’s gonna make this one count! Pac & Yuta hold Cassidy’s arms back while Marina holds Cassidy’s mouth open! Yuta has a funnel! Moxley says this time, Cassidy will get the message! But FTR saves Cassidy!
Cash & Dax dare the Death Riders to do something with them around, wielding steel pipes! Moxley has his team stand down, and he says they’ll learn the lesson, too. The Death Riders retreat, but will they find a way to take the Top Guys out?

Backstage interview with Top Flight Airlines.
Renee is now with Lio Rush, Action Andretti, Leila Grey & The Martin Brothers. She needs to talk the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal from last Wednesday. There came a point where they were not all on the same page, what happened? Leila would like to know that herself! What was that move about? Leila is of course referring to Lio & Action being united in turning on Darius & Dante before the end. Leila says that was crazy out there! This is supposed to be a team, but perhaps Lio & Action don’t understand that. Leila gets annoyed when Lio & Action don’t say anything, so she calls out Action directly.
Action says yeah, okay, he and Lio took Darius & Dante outta the match. But it was a battle royal! If you aren’t aware, but that’s how it works! Every man for themselves! Darius says yeah, they are aware. But he and Dante were just confused why Lio went along for the ride. It’s interesting how they wore matching gear. Last time Darius checked, all four of them were a team! When did it suddenly become some combination of Action & Lio? Lio says it became a combination of them because Darius & Dante kept losing everything for them! So the way Lio sees it, he and Action are going to be chasing the tag titles, not Darius & Dante.
Dante says if that’s all this was about, they could’ve just said so. They didn’t need to go stepping on toes just to get there, stupid! Well, maybe it needed to happen. For what? Lio’s ego? Action asks who these “Minnesota Morons” are calling stupid! MORONS?! Leila shouts, “ENOUGH!” If they’re gonna fight, fine, just not back here. Action says it sounds like they’ll settle this in the ring. Lio & Action go one way, Darius & Dante the other, with Leila stuck in the middle. Which half of Top Flight will find themselves as the top team?

AEW shares footage from after Rampage.
Renee had a backstage interview with both Mark Briscoe and Daniel Garcia, they just competed in the C2 that night but would have to turn around to face each other on Collision. The TNT Champion has 4 points, the Sussex County Chicken still has none. Mark’s been in this position before, how will he close the gap this time around? Mark says this time of year, many people go through a tough time. But Mark personally, two years in a row now, he starts with zero wins two rounds in on the Continental Classic. Sometimes, he sits around, gets down on himself, and thinks, “Man, I sure do suck at Continental Classics.”
But no, that ain’t the case! He just ain’t applying himself! What Mark has to do is simply apply himself, and that is what he plans to do! Danny G is Mark’s boy, no hard feelings, but Mark has to do it to him! Mark NEEDS this W. Garcia says yeah, no hard feelings. That’s what he respects about Mark. Mark stays positive, even in the hard times. When he gets knocked down, he gets back up. Unfortunately, the same goes for Garcia. Garcia has 4 points, and another win makes 7, and he could potentially lead Blue League. (We know now that no, he’ll just be a clear second place) Garcia says he’ll just have to knock Mark down.
Garcia says he’s gonna give Mark everything he’s got, so Mark better do the same. Mark says you already know. There is respect here in this match, but who will respectfully kick the other man’s ass to get those crucial 3 points?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Daniel Garcia VS Mark Briscoe!
The bell rings and the fans cheer as these two shake hands. Then they circle and tie up. Mark headlocks, but Garcia pries at the hold and wrenches out. Garcia headlocks but Mark powers out.

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Garcia earns 0)
What a wild one! Mark said he needed the points, and he got those points! Mark and Garcia still show each other respect, and now we all move on to Winter is Coming! Garcia is still even with Okada at 4 points, so second place is still up for grabs! Who manages to move up and capture that semifinals spot for Worlds End?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision and great go-home to Winter is Coming. Very good promo from Rosa, and a very good hype package for Mariah VS Mina that I skipped, and a pretty good match from Mina VS Emi. It was a little clunky at first, and maybe that finish was also a little strange, but Mina was of course winning. Rosa wanting in on the world title scene, I would think Mariah retains so we get Mariah VS Rosa at Worlds End. Good promo from Top Flight, Dante & Darius VS Lio & Action will be really good stuff, and I think Lio & Action win to set themselves up as potential challengers to Private Party. They might even leave Top Flight to join Hurt Syndicate together, but maybe not.
Awesome match from Willow and Deeb, and Deeb wearing a shirt that says “Nobody Cares” and the arrow pointing up at herself, kinda taking Britt’s insult and owning it. Perhaps they still circle back to that feud just to help both women bide time. Willow winning was the right move, and I would think Willow wins next week because Hayter and Julia Hart have their feud that’s building. Mortos destroying Aaron Solo just because was pretty great, but he’s of course losing to Okada at Winter is Coming.
Speaking of Okada, I am rather surprised he lost, but I suppose Kyle cheating him like he did Shelton Benjamin is fine. Well, “fine” in that it keeps Okada strong, but Kyle should really be building himself up a bit more. We got an awesome match Darby VS Komander, too, and I figured Darby was getting the win, but it’s still annoying that the rounds are all lopsided, not everyone having competed in the same amount of matches as the others. As such, it doesn’t sound like Darby’s competing again until December 18th, but Ospreay’s gonna be at Winter is Coming AND Holiday Bash.
But that aside, Garcia VS Briscoe was an awesome main event, and Briscoe winning was a big surprise. Maybe they’re making Blue League more about a race for second place, since we’ll be getting big semifinal matches at the start of Worlds End, and the tournament finals are later. I would think Okada gets the second spot in Blue League so he can at least “defend” his Continental Championship at the PPV. And with this win over Garcia, Mark and Garcia could have a rematch for the TNT Championship at Worlds End, too.
My Score: 8.8/10
