Jake Hager says everything Jericho has touched has been incredible, impactful and transcends for generations. #ThankYouJericho for three DECADES of greatness!

FTW World Championship: Brian Cage w/ Taz VS Will Hobbs!
Who can stop the Path of Cage? The Embodiment of Willpower is going to give it a try! Will Hobbs show he has the power to be the next alpha male to hold this title? Or will the Machine show us why Taz anointed him with this title in the first place?

Will Hobbs may be big and strong, but so is Cage, so it all came down to endurance! Cage outlasted Hobbs and holds onto the title, but Team Taz isn’t done yet. Taz wants Starks and Cage to wait as he tells Hobbs to pay attention. “That was impressive. You are impressive, I will give you that.” Hobbs didn’t win but he fought his ass off. Now, Team Taz will play the Option Game. Option A: Hobbs takes the offer of a lifetime and JOINS Team Taz! Option B: Hobbs refuses Option A and Starks and Cage beat the hell out of him! What is Hobbs’ answer? Darby Allin makes it for him by showing up! Team Taz backs off, not wanting to take a shot from the skateboard.

Rockstar icon Slash congratulates Jericho on this amazing run. It’s commendable, Jericho is definitely a survivor. Dennis Miller says Jericho is 30 years in, still not eroded by the elements. Still an impenetrable fortress who is also hilarious and a good man. Congrats, brother. NJPW’s Hiroshi Tanahashi, one of Jericho’s opponents during his more recent excursions there, gives “Jericho-san” congratulations on 30 years!
Jericho’s hockey legend father, Ted Irvine, congratulates Jericho on his journey. Jericho has represented the world of pro-wrestling with honor against some of the greatest names in the world, and is now opening the door to many young wrestlers, male and female, wanting to live that same dream as he has. And he’s also been entertaining everyone around the world for those 30 years. Le Champion isn’t done yet, and Ted is excited to see the next 30 years! Get going, kick butt and get your butt kicked, so long as you keep entertaining us. He’s so good at it! And here’s a toast of a little bit o’ the bubbly! Speaking of the bubbly, Bully Ray is chugging some down! Rock on, Jericho!
AEW hears from Lance Archer.
“Jon Moxley, this ain’t the first time we’ve stepped in the ring together. January 4th, 2020, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom. We tore it down in the Texas Death Match.” But Archer learned a lot since then, and things will be very different come October 14th. Archer is pissed off, is angry and ready to kick some ass. And Moxley, that ass will be yours. Moxley has taken his time “playing around” with Eddie Kingston and The Butcher. Those guys are badass, but they’re NOT Archer. Archer couldn’t be stopped by 20 men, so Moxley stands no chance in hell! Moxley will wish he took all that time to prepare for Archer, because this won’t be pretty. Archer promises he is going to have a damn good time! But will the Dynamite Anniversary see the beginning of the Murderhawk Monster Era?
AEW World Tag Team Championship Brush with Greatness: FTR w/ Tully Blanchard VS The Hybrid2!
Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood have been “a couple of weenies” lately, using any excuse they can come up with to avoid Best Friends. But will Jack Evans and Angelico make FTR regret giving them a shot instead?
As both teams make their entrances, the Young Bucks are watching backstage. Matt and Nick Jackson also want their own match with FTR, will FTR still be champions by the time they get their shot? Or will their bad behavior trump their win-loss record?

Winner: FTR, by pinfall (still AEW World Tag Team Champions)
The champs win within their own imposed time limit, but it was still a close one! Will the Brush with Greatness continue to sweep contenders aside?
The Young Bucks are a bit beside themselves watching this backstage. Nick admits FTR was pretty good. Matt sees the camera is live. Are they spying on the Bucks? Is Matt thinking what Nick is thinking? Their favorite move, the DOUBLE SUPERKICK! They knock the cameraman down! Well, sorry about that. But they forgot their wallets, so they can’t really pay the fine right now. Oops.
Wait a minute, who put the graphic of FTR dressed as hot dogs up? Well, who else? Here comes Best Friends! It’s even a shirt now! Chuck and Trent hope they get the joke. The hot dogs are wieners, cuz they’re weenies. Fans chant, “Weenies! Weenies!” as Trent says they as “comedy backyard wrestlers,” are just trying to tell FTR that they are weenies. But what’s not a joke is that Best Friends are THE #1 contenders. And oddly enough, they just walked past Tony Khan, and he told them their title match is LIVE for the Dynamite Anniversary! FTR rubs the belts in Best Friends’ faces, then they swing on ’em! Best Friends dodge the belt shots to DECK FTR!
They brawl, Best Friends whip FTR but FTR bails out! Fans boo the “Weenies!” but Best Friends hold up the belts! Will FTR have to #FaceTheReality that Trent and Chuck might seriously take those titles from them?
MJF talks about Chris Jericho.
“Thirty years. What can I say that hasn’t already been said about Chris Jericho?” Here’s a story. They say, “Never meet your heroes,” but MJF is inclined to disagree. The first time MJF really got to talk to Jericho was after Double or Nothing. MJF was “slightly inebriated” and it was his big first brush with being a real star here. Jericho walked right up to MJF at the after party and said, “You’ve really got something. Keep it up, don’t stop, keep studying, and don’t be afraid to pick and take little nuances from people you look up to.” MJF took his index finger and pointed at Jericho. Jericho smiled and MJF will never forget that.
As their friendship “begins to bloom more and more each week,” MJF just wants Jericho to know how proud MJF is of him, and how inspired he is by him. MJF may or may not show up in person to congratulate Jericho himself tonight.
More friends and fans congratulate Jericho!
Shaquille O’Neal tells “Christopher Bartholomew Jericho” that for having 30 years in pro-wrestling, “legend” is an understatement. Whatever is above legend, that’s Jericho. Thanks for entertaining us all! Gene Simmons wishes Jericho a happy 30th anniversary. Jericho has been on his hands and knees all his life working for this, but it’s spectacular. Maybe he’ll get somewhere some day. Don Callis says Jericho is still the exact same guy who was sitting next to Callis on the bus for that 12 hour road trip. Don’t change now, and have another great 30 years! Lars Ulrich congratulates Jericho on 30 years! Thirty years?! Hell yeah! Thirty years of kicking ass, being super cool and just doing what he does with that big lion heart. Diamond Dallas Page tells the Painmaker, Le Champion, the Demo God is most importantly a brother. Congratulations, Jericho.
AEW TNT Championship Dog Collar Match: Brodie Lee VS Cody Rhodes!
Mr. Brodie thought he had vanquished the American Nightmare, but then he returned only five weeks later with a new look and a new edge! Cody vows there are no regrets, there is no looking back, and no denying that they both will be much different after this match! But has Cody only made this worse for himself acting on emotion?

People suggested he should take a dark path because he darkened his hair and it means he went another route. “To hell with that!” Cody is sticking with the fans until the very end!

AEW returns and has news for the contender’s tournament!
We already learned that Jungle Boy, Rey Fenix and Kenny Omega are among the eight in this single elimination tournament to name a contender to the AEW World Championship. Three more names have been decided! Wardlow, Colt Cabana and Hangman Page are now part of the bracket! We only have two more contenders to name, who will they be?
Backstage interview with Kenny Omega.
Alex Marvez talks with Omega about the contender’s tournament. He’s back full time as a singles competitor, how does it feel? It feels GOOD! He was waiting for over a year to get back in the hunt for the AEW World Championship, and what better way to do it than in an tournament? If there’s been a tournament somewhere in the world, Omega has won it. If you’ve had a tournament somewhere in the year, he’s probably entered and won it! And this tournament will be like no other! Jungle Boy, Rey Fenix, Colt Cabana, Wardlow and his tag team partner, Hangman Page. Yes, even tag team wrestlers have an interest in the world championship! This will be the premier tournament to watch! And the one where Omega finally stakes his claim on the world title belt.
So don’t be surprised that after Omega’s hand is raised and he is named the contender, he is the one who takes it off “whoever the hell is the champion at the end of the pay-per-view.” So Omega is rather confident. Omega dares AEW to throw whoever they have at him. He doesn’t care if they’re a singles wrestler or a tag team guy like Hangman. It could even be a cowboy like Hangman, Omega doesn’t care. It rolls right off his shoulder. Omega is going to be the winner and the champion he was destined to be since day one, Hangman or not. For not caring about him, Omega sure seems obsessed with Hangman being in this tournament now. Is Omega… worried?
Big Swole VS Serena Deeb!
Swole made her in-ring return on Dark, but now she’s back on Dynamite to make her return even more explosive! Will Swole get on a roll towards the AEW Women’s World Championship?
The bell rings and Deeb circles with Swole. They tie up, go around and Deeb gets the arm. Deeb wrenches, Swole slips through and wrenches back. Deeb rolls, spins and wrenches back to wrangle Swole down. Fans cheer the exchange as Swole gets up. Deeb headlocks, hits a takeover but Swole headscissors. Deeb pops out and fans cheer as the two stand off. The two go again as fans rally up. Deeb and Swole tie up with knuckle locks and have a test of strength. Swole powers Deeb down fast and gets the shoulders, Deeb gets up at ONE and reels Swole in to a sunset flip, ONE! Swole is up but Deeb wrenches an arm, only for Swole to wrench back. Swole spins Deeb around, hammerlocks both arms then CLUBS her! Swole half straitjackets Deeb to throw forearms and hit a backbreaker!
Swole brings Deeb back up, throws forearms and then whips Deeb to a corner. Swole runs to the side but Deeb comes back with a LARIAT! Swole goes to the apron, Deeb drags her back up and through the ropes, DRAGON SCREW! Swole goes down hard and Deeb goes after her again. Deeb brings Swole through the ropes for a neckbreaker hotshot! Swole sputters as AEW goes picture in picture.
Deeb drags Swole back in to drop down on the leg with elbows. Deeb keeps on the legs for an Indian Deathlock! Deeb also gets the arms for a surfboard cradle, TWO! Swole escapes and works to get her bad leg moving. Deeb drags her up first and wrenches the arm to an elbow breaker! Deeb trips Swole and uses the knuckle lock cover, ONE as Swole gets an arm up. Deeb brings Swole up to drop down, roll and keylock Swole back down! Cover, TWO! Deeb SLAMS the other arm then covers, TWO! Deeb grows frustrated and Swole hits back with body shots! Deeb clubs Swole, drags her back up and wrenches to another elbow breaker! Deeb wrenches through, hooks Swole up in the IRON OCTOPUS, and AEW goes to break!
AEW returns and Swole is still down, clutching her back. Deeb drags Swole up, whips her to a corner, but Swole stops herself, only to collide with Deeb! They both go down but fans rally up. A standing count begins and Swole rises at 4. Deeb stands, too, but runs into Swole’s elbows and clothesline! Swole rallies, throws forearms, but Deeb ducks the roundhouse! Deeb swings, Swole ducks and HEADBUTTS! Cover, TWO!! Deeb still lives but Swole is right after her! Swole whips Deeb to a corner, runs in but is put on the apron. Swole ROUNDHOUSES Deeb then steps in, for a BACKSTABBER from Deeb! Cover, TWO! Fans rally up as Deeb drags Swole around, but Swole cradle counters, TWO! Deeb gets Swole to a backslide, TWO!
Deeb kicks low, reels Swole in and double hammerlocoks before the lift. Swole kicks to fight free of the driver, then ROCKS Deeb with a forearm. Swole goes to run, Deeb reels her in and passes her up, but Swole follows to uppercut! Swole runs, into Deeb’s elbow! Deeb runs but Swole follows again, Deeb elbows Swole again! Deeb runs but Swole BOOTS! HEADBUTTS! DIRTY DANCING!! Cover, Swole wins!!
Winner: Big Swole, by pinfall
The #2 contender wants to be #1, and the best way to do that is to keep winning! Will Swole climb the ranks and have her shot at the champion?
AEW hears from Jon Moxley.
“October 14th marks one year of AEW Dynamite on TNT, but I will not be celebrating.” He hasn’t had much time to celebrate this year, “because for every monster, for every hungry young kid, for every legend I take out, there’s another one waiting around the corner, and that’s the life of a world champion.” Moxley has been in the game long enough to know that eventually, everyone’s number will be called. Eventually, someone is going to take Moxley out. That could be Archer, and that could be October 14th. “One does not simply beat Lance Archer. One survives Lance Archer.” Moxley knows from experience. He barely left Tokyo with his teeth in his mouth and his head on his shoulders. Now the chicken has come home to roost and tracked Moxley halfway around the world to do it.
Like a samurai, Moxley meditates daily on his own demise, “being ripped apart by swords and arrows.” Every time Moxley hands the belt to a referee, he may not get it back. But what happens on October 14th, Archer? Maybe he wins, maybe Moxley does. Moxley has a lot of regrets in his life, but laying down for Archer is not going to be one of them. He will leave it all in the ring, and Archer will have to unstrap the belt from his dead body! Maybe Archer does. But it’s like Archer says: Everybody dies.
Another round of friends and fans congratulating Jericho!
Lance Storm wishes Jericho a happy anniversary! Thirty years of friendship, and he couldn’t be happier. Long live Le Champion! Kevin Smith wants to crack open a bit o’ the bubbly for Jericho! THREE DECADES in little shorts and showing off that body. Eli Roth congratulates Jericho, it’s unbelievable! The Beatles were only together for 7 years, so Jericho’s basically 4.5 times better or something. Gabriel Iglesias has Chavo Guerrero Jr. on video call as part of his own video call! Chavo says hey to Jericho, and says that these 30 years felt a lot longer, because practically every time he turned the TV on, Jericho was on it! And Steel Panther wishes Jericho a happy 30th anniversary and congratulates him for wrestling his ass off the entire time! Wait, Jericho’s a wrestler?
Ultimo Dragon says congratulations Jericho for 30 years in the industry! It’s an incredible accomplishment! Paul Stanley also congratulates Jericho for his 30 years. Getting to the top is one thing, but staying there is truly incredible.
The Inner Circle VS Chaos Project!
Thirty years in the making. That is the tagline to this entire night, but especially this match! Chris Jericho and Luther have known each other for 30 years, as both allies and enemies, friends and foes! But will the Original Death Dealer and his new pal in Serpentico put the hurting on Le Champion and Big Hurt, Jake Hager? Or will the Demo God be able to celebrate his 30th anniversary with a victory?
AEW returns and Jericho makes his entrance, the rest of the Inner Circle with him. Everyone enjoys singing along with Judas before the match begins. Jericho starts with Serpentico and they tie up. Jericho wrenches to a wristlock, Serpentico rolls and handsprings to wrench, but Jericho throws a forearm! Jericho CHOPS Serpentico, whips him but Serpentico dodges and tilt-o-whirl headscissors! Serpentico fixes his head and hits a forearm in the corner! He whips but Jericho reverses only to run into a boot. Serpentico hits another headscissors but Jericho CLOBBERS him! Fans fire up as Luther tags in! Luther and Jericho meet again after all this time and tie up. Jericho CHOPS, Luther CHOPS, repeat! It’s a CHOP fight! Luther CHOPS then runs, but into a shove, only for Luther to BOOT Jerihco down!
Luther runs and clotheslines, then butterfly suplexes! Luther rains down rights, stomps Jericho and tags Serpentico in. Serpentico slingshots to double stomp Jericho down!

Jericho gets to ropes but Luther is after him with the fish hooks! The ref reprimands and counters, Luther lets go at 4 to CHOP Jericho again. Luther whips, Jericho dodges and denies the dropkick! LIONSAULT! He’s still got it! Tag to Hager and Hager throws haymakers! Luther hits back and the two brawl, but Hager gets the edge. Hager runs, rams Luther, but Luther stays up! Both men roar, and start throwing hands again! Hager rams Luther into the corner and rams his shoulders in more, but the ref backs him off. Luther boots Hager away, but runs into a BELLY2BELLY! Hager hobbles, comes back to put Luther in a drop zone and climbs up. HAGER BOMB onto boots!
Serpentico tags in and Luther uses him as human weapon scoop slam senton! And again! And again! Serpentico runs to BASEMENT METEORA! Cover, TWO!

Luther turns around into JUDAS EFFECT!! Cover, Jericho and Hager win!
Winners: Chris Jericho & Jake Hager, by pinfall
The Inner Circle definitely won this match, because they all had a part to play! Jericho gets a mic to say, “Hey, listen. Thirty years in this business, thanks to all of you. And I just want to say from-” But wait, MJF is here! He said he’d maybe be here in person to congratulate Jericho, but he doesn’t want his music playing. This isn’t about him, it’s about Jericho. Wardlow is wheeling out something big and MJF says he isn’t here to step on toes or steal spotlight. MJF is here because he respects Jericho. It’s true! Wait, the thing under the curtain is a person and they get in the ring with Wardlow and MJF. MJF says he wants to be part of the celebration of Le Champion! And it’s about time for the conversation to end, it’s gift o’clock and MJF is ready to rock.
Count down! FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE! And it’s… Clownicho! Don’t you get it? Well hold on, there’s another present wrapped up. MJF is really thoughtful, so y’know. Jericho takes the present for himself, but before he opens it, MJF wants Jericho to indulge him. MJF promises Sammy that jacket is in the mail. Also, MJF wants to let Jericho know he inspires him. Next week, MJF makes a career defining announcement and he wants Jericho out there with him. But first, the present! A picture of MJF. Is that not amazing? Yes, it’s really great. And Jericho SMASHES it on the clown’s head! As in, Clownicho. And he gives the clown a JUDAS EFFECT! MJF doesn’t understand.
Jericho explains “I hate clowns, and don’t every interrupt me again. You understand me?” Both men stare down, but then they laugh. Jericho had him! Jericho thanks the fans and wishes them a good night! The AEW roster comes out to genuinely celebrate with a genuinely remarkable man. Credits roll? Executive Producer: Chris Jericho. Directed by: Chris Jericho. Jericho, Jericho, Jericho. Catering, too? But all that aside, yes! Happy 30th Anniversary, Y2J!
My Thoughts:
What a great episode, though they didn’t go all that much harder just because it was Jericho’s 30th anniversary. It was great to have all those shout-outs from celebrities and fellow wrestlers, but obviously we all know this could’ve been an even greater episode if there could’ve been a video tribute using footage from his whole career, including the WWE and WWE properties. I’m at least surprised there also wasn’t a party moment, but they had to get to everything else planned for this episode. The FTW Championship was great but I feel like it only scratched the surface of what Cage and Hobbs can do. Darby interrupts things after, but I almost thought Hobbs was going to attack him to take Option A. Maybe not, though, because Hobbs is doing great as a Face and we are still owed some part of the Archer & Team Taz VS Moxley, Hobbs & Darby match.
The Brush with Greatness was, well, also great. The time limit still isn’t as much of a factor other than the pacing, but what a great showing from TH2. Of course FTR wins because they still need to face Best Friends and Young Bucks. I feel like FTR VS Best Friends not having the time limit is actually a shame. The whole point of the Brush with Greatness having a time limit is that it’s supposed to save FTR’s asses from almost losing! Otherwise, why even make it a big deal? I’m pretty sure FTR wins because we still need FTR VS Bucks, and that probably happens at Full Gear. The AEW World Championship #1 contender’s tournament is already turning out how I was hoping, with Hangman named as an entrant and Omega being weirdly anxious about it. It almost doesn’t matter who the other two names are in this field of eight, this MUST end on Omega VS Hangman at the finals.
The Dog Collar Match was BRUTAL, and definitely in a good way! Though, they sure love blood. Three people bleeding, with Silver starting it and he wasn’t even really in the match. Though, kudos to him taking those spots to be the hapless lackey. I really thought Brodie was going to win, but it’s Cody. Cody peels back some kayfabe for us by showing he isn’t going to be Heel Cody or even dark, brooding Cody just because of the new look he came up with (which makes you wonder why he went that way in the first place) but again that’s Cody. But Cody VS Orange Cassidy for the Dynamite Anniversary is going to be incredible, and how amazing would it be for Cody to put Orange over? If anyone in the trio of Cassidy and Best Friends is getting a title next week, it’s Cassidy.
Swole and Deeb had a really good match and it was a really good win for Swole. I feel like the Dynamite Anniversary should try and surprise us with something for the women’s division, as it isn’t clear who is heading to Full Gear to face Hikaru Shida yet. Moxley and Archer had great vignette promos, and of course they referenced the NJPW match for the IWGP United States Championship that Moxley still has. Their match is going to be awesome, but as great as Archer is, I don’t think he beats Moxley. As I said for AEW Dark last night, I feel like what Eddie Kingston was saying implies he and Moxley will have a rematch in an I Quit match. Full Gear had the brutal Unsanctioned match last year, why not make a tradition out of that with Moxley VS Kingston, I Quit Match for the title?
And of course, closing with Jericho in the main event was the proper way to do this. Chaos Project gave Inner Circle a really good match, even in losing. Luther definitely went above and beyond compared to what he’s been doing in the ring, and looked very strong since all of the Inner Circle got involved one way or another. I feel like they had to rush things with MJF, but it’s fine because that was an appropriately awkward and dumb gift. I have a feeling that between last week’s “forgotten jacket” and the things MJF said tonight, replacing Sammy is the red herring. MJF is going to swerve us and create his own parody of the Inner Circle. He mentioned Jericho “inspiring” him, and even telling him “don’t be afraid to pick and take” from role models. MJF is going to copy Jericho and create a group, though he could’ve just kept his campaign team with him. Maybe some of the bigger names seen on AEW Dark join Team MJF to get some Dynamite time.

Zero Hour – 8 Man Tag: The Sons of Texas w/ Kevin Von Erich VS Shane Taylor Promotions!
The ROH World Tag Team Championship match was not enough to settle things, so now Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & The Von Erichs are taking on Lee Moriarty, The Infantry and Shane Taylor himself in a “High Noon shootout!” But knowing that Dustin & Sammy are now in the TNT Championship Fatal 4 Way, will they be able to focus on STP? Or will they be pulling their punches so they still have something left to give?
The teams sort out and the Spanish God starts against #TAIGASTYLE. The fans rally up for Sammy as he and Lee circle. They tie up, Lee waistlocks but Sammy switches. Lee wrenches out and has the IRON OCTOPUS! Sammy powers out to throw Lee down! Sammy CHOPS, whips, then hurdles, backflips, and DROPKICKS! Lee is down, Sammy kips up smooth!

STP picked a fight with the wrong cowboys! The ROH World Tag Team & World Six Man Tag Team Champions all stand tall, but Dustin and Sammy look to each other for a moment.

MVP celebrates with his guy as this “wolf of wrestling” continues to be a worm! MJF shows off the contract he stole from everyone else, but who will it be he’s targeting next? Will “Dictator Jon” keep his reign of terror going? Or will Hangman Page free us all from the Death Riders’ death grip?
Stokely Hathaway speaks.
“We are officially done with The Outrunners. And like I said earlier this week, FTR will be watching the AEW World Tag Team Championship match up close and in person. But one caveat, breaking news: FTR, they will be the special guest commentators for that tag team championship match. So to the champions, Hurt Syndicate, to JetSpeed, to Christian Cage & The ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne, FTR says they hope that everyone just has a good time. Top Guys Out.” Well, great… But will Cash & Dax have more than just verbal input on the Triple Threat?
Adam Cole is here!
Despite what’s going on, Adam Cole is still here tonight, and he makes his way out to ringside so he can watch this match in person. The fans cheer him on as he grabs the mic to say. “It’s… It’s really hard to put this into words, but I wanted to come out here and talk to you all. Very sorry that I let everybody down and I can’t wrestle tonight. I have some health issues going on at the moment that not only will not allow me to defend this championship tonight, but I am going to be gone for awhile. And, uh… I don’t even wanna think about talking about retiring, because I am not in the right head space.
“But I wanted to have this opportunity to come out and talk to you all, if this is indeed goodbye, because you are the best damn wrestling fans in the world.” The fans applaud, and Cole gets emotional. The fans cheer him on more, which only makes it a bit harder for him. Cole thanks them for that, and says since he was 9 years old, he dreamt of being a pro-wrestler. All the fans made that dream come true, supporting him across multiple promotions all over the world, they have no idea what that means to him. With his highest highs and even his lowest lows, they have been supportive through it all and he will love them forever for it.
Cole does his best to keep going, and says he won’t take any more time, this is the best PPV you’ve ever seen going right now. We will have a NEW TNT Champion tonight, and once again, you will watch AEW do PPV like nobody else does. And from him and everyone in AEW, thank you for making AEW what it is, thank you for making it so special, and he thanks them all for making his life so special. He loves us all, thanks us all, good night. The Paragon hugs it out and the fans chant #ThankYouAdam. And we get to say it one more time, “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” They say never say never, so when and where will we see Cole again?
Vacated AEW TNT Championship Fatal 4 Way: Kyle Fletcher VS Daniel Garcia VS Dustin Rhodes VS Sammy Guevara!
Adam Cole’s misfortune now opens the way for someone’s greatest victory in AEW! The Aussie Arrow was meant to battle the Panama City Playboy, and he beat Red Death to get here.

AEW World Tag Team Championships Triple Threat: The Hurt Syndicate VS #JetSpeed VS Christian Cage & Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy!
The saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for.” Montel Vontavious Porter dared, maybe even begged, the AEW Tag Division to step up to Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, and now two teams did just that! Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey were first, and took quite the beating on the road to All In. But then, the “father and son” duo decided to just interject themselves based on legacy alone. Will Knight & Bailey be 2Fly2Stop? Will The Patriarchy take advantage of opportunity? Or will the All Mighty & Standard of Excellence simply hurt people?
FTR joins commentary just as promised, and then The Hurt Syndicate enter with Westside Gun and Smoke Dizza to do a live rendition of the theme song. The other teams then enter, JetSpeed with a new theme, and then Christian Cage with his arm wrapped around his “son,” Nick. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who defies the odds!
The Syndicate attacks both opposing teams! The bell rings, it is a brawl, but Shelton stomps Christian and Lashley CLOBBERS Bailey. They TOSS them out, then Lashley sends Knight into barriers!

Moxley stands on Hangman, soaks up heat, then goes out and tells the fans to shut their faces. Moxley takes a security guard’s chair, brings it over, but then he has the wire. Hangman stands as the count reaches 3 of 10, but now Hangman is bloodied. Moxley puts the wire around the chair! The fans boo as Moxley brings the chair into the ring. Hangman stands, Moxley JAMS him up with the chair! And then Moxley puts the chair down to bring Hangman up! Scoop SLAM onto the barbed wire chair! Hard to say what hurts more: the blunt landing or the sharp wires! Moxley CROSSFACE FOREARMS Hangman again and again!
Moxley pushes Hangman down, shouts, “You wanna be the champion!?” Moxley rains down fists! Moxley puts the chair in the corner, brings Hangman up, but Hangman fires hands! Hangman hammers away on Moxley, whips corner to corner, but Moxley stops short! Hangman runs in, Moxley dodges, but Hangman stops short of the chair! Hangman brings the chair outta the corner, but Moxley BOOTS it into him! The fans boo but Hangman is down so the count starts. Moxley grins as he walks around. The count is 4 of 10 as Hangman sits up, but Moxley puts the chair back into the corner. Moxley fetches Hangman and TOSSES him out.
Moxley goes out, and Marina helps him bring out a TABLE! The fans are torn, they love tables but hate the Death Riders. The table is set up right by the ring, then Moxley drags Hangman up. Moxley pushes Hangman into the ring, drags him up, and puts him on the top rope. Moxley climbs up to join Hangman, but Hangman fires body shots! The fans fire up as Hangman BITES Moxley now! Moxley drops down, Hangman hurries after him, but into a CUTTER! Moxley calls to Marina to bring “the glass.” What?! Marina brings out a bucket full of broken glass?! And Moxley pours it out! Broken beer bottles, and Moxley stomps them to be even more finely broken.
Moxley brings a handful over and he SMEARS it into Hangman’s forehead! Moxley reels Hangman in, but Hangman fights the lift! The fans fire up and Hangman Alabama Lifts Moxley! But Moxley sunset flips! Moxley drags Hangman over the glass!! The fans tell Moxley he’s sick as Hangman has glass shards in his back! The standing count starts as Hangman sputters. Moxley eggs Hangman on, reels him back in, and GLASS PILE DRIVER!!! Moxley stands, not even bothered by the glass stuck in his own body! Hangman sputters as the standing count rises. Hangman stands at 7 of 10, but Moxley is more amused than anything.
Moxley brings Hangman around, but Hangman fires haymakers! Moxley gives mocking thumbs up, and then it turns into a brawl! Moxley fires KNEE after KNEE, then he hits another PILEDRIVER!! Moxley leaves Hangman to the count while he soaks up heat. And then Marina fetches a new chair! And another chair! Hangman is still down at 5 of 10 but Moxley takes a seat. The fans rally and Hangman stands at 8! Moxley sets the chairs up next to each other, but the fans rally for “COWBOY SH*T! COWBOY SH*T!” Moxley drags Hangman up and over to the corner with a facelock, then he goes up the corner.
Moxley reels Hangman in, brings him up, and he underhooks! But Hangman fights the lift! Moxley CLUBS away on Hangman, but Hangman fires back! Hangman HEADBUTTS Moxley, talks trash on Marina, and the fans fire up! Hangman HEADBUTTS Moxley again and again, feeds off the fans’ energy, and then lifts Moxley, but Moxley CLAWS Hangman with barbed wire!! Moxley CLUBS Hangman, CLUBS him again, and Hangman falls! Hangman leans on the chairs, Moxley changes position, but wait! Hangman flips the chairs around! Moxley is too busy soaking up heat, and Hangman gets Moxley off the corner! POWERBOMB on the chair wedge!!!
The fans lose their minds while Moxley writhes from the chairs and onto the glass! Hangman takes that barbed wire, and he wraps it around his hand! The standing count rises, Hangman is up at 4, and the fans are thunderous! Moxley stands at 6, BARBED WIRE ROLLING ELBOW! And another BARBED WIRE ROLLING ELBOW! But Yuta SMACKS Hangman with a chair!! The fans boo, but Hangman just looks pissed! The fans tell Yuta he messed up! BARBED WIRE ROLLING ELBOW!! Yuta’s down, but Moxley kicks Hangman! Hangman underhooks, but Hangman wrenches out, kicks low, and underhooks, for ANGEL’S WINGS!!
The standing count begins, the fans cheer for “A E DUB!” and Hangman skins the cat to the apron! Moxley rises at 6, but Marina clamps onto Hangman with a SLEEPER! Hangman says screw it! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER through the table!!! That’s one way to solve a problem! Hangman storms in, but Moxley whips! Hangman reverses, Moxley hits the corner chair! DEADEYE onto the glass!!! Hangman wants the count to start, but here comes Claudio! Claudio CLOBBERS Hangman and he rains down forearms! The fans boo, then he kicks Hangman out of the ring! Yuta adds on with stomps!
The fans boo but Claudio brings out another table! Yuta and Claudio set this up nearby, the ref reprimands, but that’s all the ref can do when this is a No Disqualification match! Wait! Ospreay JAMS Claudio with a chair, and SMACKS him down! Ospreay brawls with Yuta and the fans fire up! Ospreay sees Gabe Kidd coming and fires hands with him! But this is a 3v1! The fans boo as they beat Ospreay down, then PILEDRIVER to the floor! But then Claudio puts a chair around Ospreay’s neck! The fans boo, CHAIR GUILLOTINE STOMP! The fans boo as the Death Riders continue to protect their so-called King of Wrestling!
Medics hurry to check Ospreay, but the Death Riders move on to focusing on Hangman. Moxley reels Hangman in, takes aim for some other tables nearby, but Hangman Alabama Lifts! Moxley flails free, slips around the back, and he has a SLEEPER! The stretcher is here for Ospreay but Hangman is fading! Moxley stands him up, takes aim, and vows to end this! Moxley reels Hangman in, SUPERPLEX down throw BARBED WIRE TABLES!!! The fans lose their minds while both men are down in the wreckage! The standing count begins and the fans rally up. Ospreay is put on the backboard while the count passes 5 of 10.
Hangman manages to sit up, but Moxley follows. We’re at 7, then 8! Both men are up at 9.5! Hangman goes into the ring, The Death Riders help Moxley. Moxley is seething as he rolls into the ring. Hangman sees Ospreay is in bad shape, and Ospreay is being wheeled away. Moxley eggs Hangman on, and both men rise up again. Moxley says if Hangman wants to be the champ, then show him! They go forehead to forehead, then forearm for forearm! The fans fire up as the shots keep going, and then Hangman roars! Hangman fires a flurry! Moxley BITES Hangman, then LARIATS! Moxley hauls Hangman up, GOTCH PILEDRIVER!!
Moxley floats into the BULLY CHOKE!! The fans rally, Hangman endures, but Hangman is fading! Moxley lets go and acts as if he’s already won. The standing count is on Hangman while Moxley paces. Hangman is still down at 5 of 10. The fans rally up harder and harder, Hangman stirs at 7! Hangman pushes up at 8, and stands at 9.99!! Moxley has a chair! Moxley sits it up, brings Hangman over, and he underhooks for a FULL METAL PARADIGM SHIFT!! The fans boo as Hangman falls in a heap! Moxley celebrates with his guys like it’s over, but the count still has to happen. The fans boo Moxley as we pass 5 of 10 again.
Hangman reaches out at 6, sits up at 7, and he has the ropes at 8. Hangman uses those to stand at 9.99 again! Moxley is pissed, but he storms over to Hangman. Moxley LARIATS Hangman down, then he tells his guys to bring “it” out! Claudio has a plastic bag, and he makes Yuta bring it to Moxley! The fans boo but Moxley keeps the ref from stopping Yuta! Yuta has the bag, hands it to Moxley, and Moxley talks trash on the fans. BUT WAIT! What is this tron? Mount Everest? Darby Allin says, “Top of the effin’ world! Mt. Everest! Now, Jon, I’m coming down to take everything from you!” WHAT?! The fans fire up for Darby, but is he in Texas?
A Blue Panther cosplayer is here? “YES! YES! YES!” BUSAIKU KNEE on Yuta! THAT’S BRYAN DANIELSON!! The fans are thunderous as Bryan KICKS away on Yuta and Claudio and Gabe! Then he TOSSES them all out, to DIVE! Down go the Death Riders! Bryan stomps away on them, he POSTS Gabe, then he POSTS Claudio! Bryan KICKS Claudio against the railing! DARBY REPELS IN FROM ABOVE! The fans fire up as The Relentless One references his mentor, Sting! Moxley doesn’t realize until he turns around and sees him! Moxley has seen a ghost, but then the BUCKSHOT hits!!!

She tries to coach Moxley, and she MAKES him stand at 9.99!! The fans boo, is that even allowed!?
But the BUCKS are here! They’re not EVPs, but they can still screw Hangman! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS!! And then E V P TRIGGER!!! The fans boo but The Bucks leave. And now, Moxley & Marina bring out a BED OF NAILS!?! They drag that into the ring, Moxley takes aim, and Hangman sputters towards the nails! CURB STOMP onto the bed of nails!! And then DEATH RIDER onto the bed of nails!!!! The fans are furious but Moxley leans on the ropes to stay up. Moxley flops back over, the count is on him and Hangman! Moxley sits back up at 5 but Hangman is still down! Moxley gloats already as we hit 7! But Hangman is moving?!
Hangman rises, 9.999!!!! The fans are electric and Moxley is completely beside himself! How is Hangman doing this?!? The fans don’t care, they just rally up again! Marina hobbles her way over to talk with Moxley. Moxley says if Hangman wants the belt, he’ll get to eat the belt! He has Marina give over the key, and she fetches the case! Wait, what is it chained to? Who cuffed Marina? PRINCE NANA!! The fans are thunderous, because now Marina is unable to help Moxley! Moxley is furious, he tries to free Marina, but Swerve DECKS Matt with the CHAIN FIST! And then CHAIN FIST for Nick!! Swerve looks to Hangman, Hangman looks at Swerve, is this really happening?!?
The fans are electric for “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” as he gives the chain to Hangman!! Moxley storms into the ring, Hangman has the chain, and Hangman CHAIN FISTS Moxley!! And then he uses the chain to CHOKE Moxley!! Hangman TOSSES Moxley and HANGS him!!!! Moxley drags Hangman over to join him, then Moxley goes into the ring. But Moxley BUCKSHOTS Moxley onto the bed of nails!!!! Moxley writhes and shouts in pain but it’s his own doing! Hangman isn’t done, he CHOKES him with the chain again! And then HANGS Moxley after all!!! Moxley flails, sputters, panics, his life in danger! Moxley TAPS, Hangman wins!!!!!
Winner: Hangman Page, by submission (NEW AEW World Champion)
Swerve smirks, because perhaps even he never thought he’d help the man he hated so much. Hangman takes the briefcase, uses that key, and he unlocks the case! The fans cheer as Hangman frees the AEW World Championship from the prison it was unjustly put in, and tears fill his eyes! The fans cheer as finally, we have a REAL AEW World Champion!! The American Dragon’s side plates are still on it, Moxley never even put his own stamp on the belt! The fans cheer, “You Deserve It!” for Hangman, and perhaps never more has that statement been true than right here tonight! The pyro goes off in celebration as Hangman raises the belt overhead!
It took so much out of him, and even his allies, but Hangman is finally the TWO-TIME AEW World Champion! Moxley’s reign of terror has finally ended, and it is finally a new chapter in the history books! How much bigger and better will AEW be from here on out?
My Thoughts:
An awesome All In here, especially because of the results we got. I think I just said it on Thursday or so, but this was AEW “giving us everything,” comparative to WrestleMania 35 (Rollins beating Brock, KofiMania winning, and Becky winning against Charlotte and Ronda). The Opps keeping the AEW Trios titles made sense because we didn’t get Hook’s return. That’s fine really when you consider the priority was the AEW World Championship. But it also worked to explain away The Opps not being able to help. And then Swerve & Ospreay beat Bucks in an awesome match so that The EVPs are no longer EVPs, The Bucks are gonna have to “find themselves.”
And of course, after an epic battle on par with WrestleMania 40 #FinishTheStory Bloodline Rules, maybe even better because of the viciousness and the epic returns, we finally get a NEW AEW World Champion. Ospreay being sidelined with that chair stomp would work even in the story where he and Swerve are banned from the world title for a year because who knows how long Ospreay will kayfabe be out of action. But then Bryan sneaking in as Blue Panther cosplayer and Darby dropping in from the roof, awesome stuff and it really moves things to being Death Riders VS their enemies, no titles in the way.
Really fun stuff in the Zero Hour/Buy-In like always, and of course FTR cheats Outrunners there. Truly a shame Adam Cole is out of action yet again, it felt like he barely came back. But the Sons of Texas ended up in quite the interesting situation. The 8 Man Tag still happened, but I suppose it wasn’t too much strain when the Von Erichs were there and they all got to Iron Claw the STP down. Good moment for Texas, and then great moment in the TNT Championship Fatal 4 Way. Dustin winning was a surprising move but hey, Dustin is now a TRIPLE CHAMPION, so that alone is awesome.
FTR of course had a part to play in the tag title Triple Threat, so naturally they are why The Hurt Syndicate retains. The big surprise is that this is where Nick turns on Christian, AND this is where Cope returns. It ends up as a wild Double Turn where Nick is new Heel leader of Patriarchy but Cope wants Christian to be the way he was when they were friends. Edge & Christian are going to make AEW reek of awesomeness here in one last run as a team, can’t wait to see what they do.
Both Casino Gauntlet matches were great, some great surprises in each of them, as we’ve seen before. This match being AEW’s answer to the Royal Rumble, it is certainly the place for anticipated returns and surprise debuts. Great to see Juice & The Gunns back, and their feud with Ricochet & The Gates will be some good stuff. MJF and Briscoe both being involved in the finish was good stuff, and I should’ve figured MJF would snipe the win like that. Athena winning was a big surprise, I did not expect something like this while she is still ROH Women’s World Champion. At the same time, she’s long overdue being part of the AEW Women’s World Championship scene, so here we are.
And while Texas Death was THE main event, they of course called the Women’s World Championship and Okada VS Omega the “co-main events,” which is still cheesy to me. But both those matches were also awesome in their own way. Toni winning over Mone was the right call, and it seems like we’re getting Toni VS Athena. While I wanted them to go all in with Mone at least putting up the TBS Championship here, I don’t think the same would work out if Toni and Athena went title for title here. It’s like the conundrum of Konosuke challenging for the ROH World Championship: it’d be a great accomplishment, but they’re not gonna put Konosuke on Honor Club. Therefore, I don’t see the same happening with Toni. As great as she is, I don’t think people are going to suddenly watch ROH on Honor Club solely for her.
Okada winning the Unified Championship that is also all three belts was also fair, given the Don Callis Family was all working together. Plus, Konosuke not getting ROH title, Kyle Fletcher not getting TNT title, the Family needed something to justify being a threatening faction, so Okada standing with this brand new special title is the thing. Okada is quickly replacing Konosuke and Kyle as Callis’ favorite new “family member,” and this can lead to Okada VS Konosuke as they’ve been teasing on and off.
My Score: 9.6/10

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
The Death Riders regrouped, and Moxley says, “For nearly a year, we have bene testing people. We have been pushing people. Frankly, most of ’em have failed the test. Turns out, this isn’t the job they really want. This is the greatest sport in the world, and it’s the toughest sport in the world, and they don’t have the stomach to endure! You can scour the globe for people who have it in ’em. In their guts, in their soul, who don’t know any other way. There’s a few of ’em out there, I know ’em when I see ’em.” Gabe Kidd tells “Shibata-san, you taught me about fighting spirit, how to show it to the world, how to fight with all your heart.
“You go out there, and you hang out with Samoa Joe and Will Hobbs and you just collect a paycheck. Now you don’t have a single ounce of effin’ fightin’ spirit left!” Wheeler Yuta says The Opps have beaten and battered and bruised him, but he will continue to move forward because that is nothing compared to what The Death Riders have done to him to make him stronger. Claudio Castagnoli says they do not go out there and beg. Beggars are not warriors, and warriors do not beg. Marina Shafir says “they” are all pathetic, weak, brittle, and are all p*ssies!
Moxley says if you wanna be in the business, you can’t pretend your way into it. You can’t buy your way into it. You can’t gladhand and ass-kiss your way into it. You wanna be the real thing? You gotta be all in, or all out. Moxley VS Hangman, and now Claudio, Yuta & Gabe VS The Opps, all the gold on the line! Who will leave Texas with it all in their hands?
Harley Cameron is working out.
The wild Aussie loses her grip on the chin-up bar, falling on the floor. She introduces herself and says that she crashes, a lot. But when she needs to reenergize and fast, “You need an iDrinq!” OMG, Dr. Puppet? And yes, iDrinq’s caffeine free family delivers the electrolytes and vitamins you’ll need to get back up from your crash! Pick yourself up some today!
Sky Flight Team speaks.
Scorpio Sky says, “Scorpio Sky is back, and yeah, it’s a feel good moment. But we have to remember one thing: All of this can go away in the blink of an eye, and that is something I cannot let happen again. I have surrounded myself with the best talent and knowledge I can find. And that is Sky Flight Team.” Christopher Daniels says, “Understand that every championship you have is a possible goal: The World, the Unified, the TNT, the tag titles, the trios titles, and every women’s championship. We can lay claim to them at any time. You look at the talent in each one of these athletes: Leila Grey, Top Flight, Scorpio Sky.
“You add 32 years of the Fallen Angel’s experience to guide them, we’ve made a team that is exponentially more than the sum of its parts. AEW, this IS Sky Flight Team. And with this team, the sky is no limit.” Then will this team take all the gold they can in a snap?
Mistico VS The Beast Mortos!
With just days left to prepare for All In and the Men’s Casino Gauntlet, the Talisman of CMLL is looking to sharpen his skills and be ready at any given moment. But will Mistico be shining in the spotlight? Or will the menacing minotaur break through and have his own moment?

Mortos stays clear, runs up, but Mistico dodges to RANA! Mortos tumbles, the fans fire up, and Mistico runs to springboard! But Mortos catches him! Mortos swings Mistico, Mistico slips free and DROPKICKS Mortos onto the ropes! Mistico speed dials to 619! Mortos staggers, Mistico springboards, FLYING RANA! Mortos tumbles out of the ring and the fans fire up behind Mistico. Mistico builds speed and WRECKS Mortos with a dropkick!
Mistico gets going again and he DIVES! Direct hit but Mortos stays up! Mistico says third time is the charm, and he DIVES! Down goes Mortos! The fans fire up and Mistico rises. Mistico drags Mortos up and into the ring, then springboards for a DIVING SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Mortos stays in this but the fans rally with Mistico. Mistico brings Mortos up, fires forearms, then knuckle locks. Mistico KICKS, then goes up, up, and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! The fans fire up as Mortos tumbles to a corner! Mistico rallies the fans, runs corner to corner, but Mortos dodges! Then Mortos UPPERCUTS, LARIATS, and GAMANGIRIS!
Mortos reels Mistico in for a SNAP POWERSLAM and NECK TWIST! Mortos soaks up cheers and jeers while Collision goes picture in picture.
Mortos sits Mistico up to claw at the mask! The ref reprimands, Mortos stops, and Mistico reaches out for the fans. The fans rally up but Mortos SMACKS Mistico down! Mortos puts Mistico on the ropes, claws at the mask, ten snapmares Mistico down. Mortos NECK TWISTS again! Mortos goes up the corner, and he MARIPOSAS! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives and Mortos seethes but the ref defends his count. Mortos drags Mistico up and SMACKS him again! Mistico falls over, Mortos roars, and Garland seems torn.

A big win for Mistico and he is undefeated in AEW! But that’s 1v1, and the Casino Gauntlet could end up a Triple Threat or more! Will Mistico be able to defy the odds and win big at- Wait, MJF is on the tron wearing Mistico’s mask! MJF claps to mock Mistico and says that’s all he does! Mistico claps like a circus seal because he’s a jabroni! And what’s this? This is the mask MJF ripped clean off Mistico’s stupid skull. MJF knows everyone is so excited for Mistico to go to the Casino Gauntlet to get in the way of MJF and MJF’s world title. Well, then Mistico has another thing coming. Mistico won’t get in because MJF is going to pin Mark Briscoe in three seconds of the bell!
But let’s just say Mistico does get in. MJF will just keep collecting Mistico’s masks until he has them all, leaving Mistico with no choice but to show the world his ugly face! MJF will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he is better than you, and you know it. The fans boo but Mistico says see you Saturday! Will MJF only get himself in trouble by stoking the flames?
Mark Briscoe speaks.
“Two days from now, the Casino Gauntlet match, and I’m coming to win. I don’t care who shows up, I’m coming to win. Been in the game 25 years now, it’s what I do. It’s business. But at this point, it’s become personal. MJF, you piece of s*it… Hey, I knew you was gonna invoke my brother’s name. I called you out on it before you even did it! I was hoping that I’d be numb to it. But y’know what? Been 24 hours, and every minute that goes by, I get more and more pissed off. Knowing that my sister-in-law, my nephew, my nieces, my mom and my dad were sitting there watching the TV while you disrespected my brother and disrespected my family.
“So Saturday… I told you what my plan is: to win. But Sunday… I gotta come back home to Delaware. And whether I win or not, I wanna look my family in the eyes and say, ‘I ain’t let that s*it fly.’ MJF… At this point… I have got to whoop your ass.” The Sussex County Chicken is deadly serious, but will he make sure if nothing else, MJF does NOT walk out of Texas the #1 contender?
AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Renee Paquette says that was an insane start to AEW’s long week in Texas, and she brings Hangman in to talk about the chaos. Hangman says he probably should talk about it, just not with Renee. Hangman moves on to find Swerve’s locker room! Hangman pushes right through the door to find Ospreay, Swerve & Nana. Ospreay says please, let’s not do this just two days before All In! Swerve is upset Hangman is doing this right in his locker room. Hangman tells Ospreay he just needs two minutes. Ospreay isn’t so sure, but Swerve says it’s fine. Ospreay steps aside, but Hangman does thank Ospreay for everything.
Nana says he’s gonna get some coffee. Does Swerve want some? Swerve shakes his head no. Nana scoots out of the room, and Swerve chuckles. He knows what this is about. He knows why Hangman is here. Hangman is asking for help! Go ahead, ask him for help! It’s why he’s here, right? No, that’s not why. Hangman couldn’t even if he tried. But he is going into a suicide mission on Saturday, and he figured if he doesn’t say this now, he’ll never have the chance. Hangman just wanted to do what he should’ve done two years ago. Hangman takes a seat, puts the chain down, and Swerve also takes a seat to hear him out.
Hangman says The Bucks, Dynasty, and everything since, Hangman has had nothing to do with that. And he knows if the tables were turned, Hangman wouldn’t believe this either. Swerve knows all that. What’s his point? Hangman says what Swerve did to Hangman and his family… Hangman’s son still wakes up at night screaming, thinking he saw Swerve! And Hangman hates Swerve for that! He always will! But what Hangman did to Swerve… Swerve deserved that. And what upsets Hangman more is that Swerve knows it, too. Swerve knows he deserved that payback. Which is why Hangman regrets it.
Hangman just needs to know: Does Swerve regret what he did to Hangman? Swerve says if Hangman had asked him all this before Swerve became world champion, Swerve would’ve said “No.” He’d do it all over again. But after the world title, after main-eventing Wembley, after their brutal cage match, after Swerve losing things, people, matches, all of it…! Yeah, Swerve regrets it. Okay. Hangman stands up, and he says he’ll bring his family on Saturday. Not to the show, but like, before. Swerve says he’ll steer clear. Hope they enjoy the show. Hangman says he believes that. Hangman goes to leave, but Swerve has him wait.
Swerve says the house Hangman burned down. Swerve was planning to raise his kids in it. Have them grow up just like he did. Hell, Swerve pictured his grandchildren growing up in that house. But after thinking about it, maybe it was time to let go of the past. Hangman just says, “Yeah,” and takes his leave. Both men have a lot to think on. And Hangman also left the chain behind. With both men acknowledging their sins, can there be peace between AEW’s most vicious rivals?
Someone is storming out from the crowd?
The DEATH RIDERS are here, no music needed! And Jon Moxley grabs a mic to ask, “What the hell was that?!” The fans boo but Moxley asks what kinda pathetic crybaby stuff was that?! A Texas Death Match on Saturday, Hangman better get his head screwed on straight! That ain’t no cowboy he’s ever seen! Marina takes the mic to say Hangman ain’t no cowboy! He’s a p*ssy! A PUNK ASS B*TCH!! Moxley says he will give Hangman this: The smartest decision Hangman ever made was tell his family to NOT attend All In. The fans chant for “COWBOY SH*T!” and Moxley says yeah, they’ll see some cowboy s*it on Saturday!
Because the difference between Hangman and Moxley is that after Saturday, Moxley will make no apologies and have no regrets! 48 hours remain, Hangman, before your Texas Death! The Maniac storms his way back out of the arena, will nothing stop him from ending Hangman’s redemption story?

But then the Don Callis Family walks in…
Rocky mockingly says this is so adorable! They’ll be big time memeing on the internet! Trent says AJ is an embarrassment, his children are an embarrassment, and AJ is not a pro-wrestler anymore. He’s just a man who eats cookies. If they want a match, then it is four of them (Rocky, Trent, Archer & Hechicero), but only three on Team AJ! Is this all they can conglomerate? WAIT! Kyle O’Reilly steps in! And he says that Rocky should remember himself, The Conglomeration is more a frame of mind, and it never left Kyle’s. So not only is he very eager to say “BOOM,” for one night only at All In, The Conglomeration is b-b-b-b-b-back! Also Kyle is rizzing a lot…

Aminata sends Thekla hard into barriers! Julia leaps but Willow ROCKS her! Megan CLOBBERS Aminata! Mina ROCKS Megan! TORNADO DDT to the floor! Athena grabs Mina, Rosa grabs Athena! Rosa ROCKS Athena, then they DOUBLE LARIAT!
Julia and Willow brawl, then Willow scoops! Julia has the IRON OCTOPUS! But Willow powers out, only for Julia to slip free! Willow sends Julia into Mina’s KNEE! BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Team Rosa wins!
Winners: Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata, Mina Shirakawa & Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
Kris admits, Willow is a great competitor. But then Billie, Skye & Penelope attack! The back-up squad makes sure Rosa’s team isn’t getting to celebrate the win! Skye & Julia mug Willow, Athena and Rosa brawl out of the ring, but TAYJAY appears! They’ve been part of these All-Star matches, so they want their pound of flesh! The brawl is on between TayJay and Skye-Hart, but then Megan & Penelope get in there! Refs rush out here, but the fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” And then Kris steps into the ring to stare down Megan! But then Penelope jumps on Kris! Megan is amused, but TayMay jumps on her!
It is utter chaos as Collision closes out! Will it be Kris, Megan, or another that takes the Women’s Casino Gauntlet for their own? Will Athena keep her ROH Women’s World Championship? Or will Thunder bring an end to the forever reign?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision as another great go-home to All In. Great opening Six Man of Paragon VS Fletcher & Roppongi Vice, and Paragon winning indicates that Fletcher could be taking the TNT Championship. Good promo from Big Boom AJ and sons that then led to the Conglomeration VS Don Callis Family. I almost thought this would be Orange Cassidy’s return moment, but I appreciate O’Reilly wanting in on that. I feel like this has to be a win for Big Boom AJ and The Conglomeration, especially with Hologram on the team and his win streak still climbing. When is Hologram gonna get a title?
Very good promo from Scorpio Sky & Christopher Daniels to hype up their new faction, and they’ll certainly make moves on the belts as soon as next week. Great match from Mistico VS Mortos, great win for Mistico, and then a good promo from MJF. Mark Briscoe again proves he is highly underrated as a promo guy, him switching tone to be so scary serious was great stuff. I feel like Briscoe is going to go so hard after MJF that while he keeps MJF from winning, someone else wins.
Hangman talking with Swerve was awesome stuff. Not even so much that they had energy in the promo, but that this happened at all. This is a great sign that maybe, just maybe, Swerve helps Hangman when The Death Riders work to stack the deck. A lot will have to interplay with how they handle Bucks VS Swerve & Ospreay, EVP Titles VS Title Opportunities, but I feel like Swerve should want to screw Moxley over more than he wants to ruin things for Hangman. And as I said, it’s more intriguing and entertaining if The Bucks have to deal with being “regular people” again.
Great 8 Man Tag of JetRunners VS FTRIARCHY, and a great win for the Faces. However, that makes me think JetSpeed is taking the loss in the AEW World Tag Team Championship Triple Threat. It would be clever if Christian lets Knight & Bailey handle Lashley & Shelton, much like what we saw last night in that beatdown, and then Patriarchy snatches a win. Good promo from Stokely to give us Outrunners VS FTR for Zero Hour, that’ll be great stuff because Zero Hour always does great stuff. And from there, FTR can easily pivot towards the tag titles, no matter who comes out on top.
Great group promo from Death Riders, and awesome match from Gabe VS Shibata. But with the trios title set, Yuta helping cheat the win makes some sense. The Death Riders look to lose everything they’ve worked for, should Moxley lose the world title. And great main event with yet another All Star Tag, and naturally, we get a chaotic brawl to close out. Much as we saw from NXT and their Women’s Division, this was that classic battle royal go-home move. Kris and Megan are starting, makes me wonder if either is the winner because of how focused they are on each other, paralleling MJF and Mark Briscoe.
At the same time, this stuff with Kris and Death Riders, it’d work so well if Marina helped Kris win by clearing out competition so Kris can pin, say, former friend Willow. Then there’s intrigue of Kris feuding with Willow on the way to her title match.
My Score: 8.9/10
