The Acclaimed VS Justin Blax & Louie Valle!

Anthony Bowens and Max Caster have a tag team now, so clearly this is going to become a regular thing. Caster has the mic so “The Acclaimed just signed, put pen to paper. But this dude here needs an escalator, just to get in my face. I stomp the haters. I spank you like you on some bad behavior. This dude’s too crude to even diss. As a matter of fact, yo, you looking too ugly to even kiss.” This is Max and Anthony, they are the Acclaimed, everything they plan to be!

Peter Avalon welcomes us(?) to a private dinner.

This is what he wanted to show his “delicious peach” last time. He has… Microwave dinners and cookies, as well as hard seltzer. But wait, this is an elevator. And someone else wants to get in. Avalon shouts at them to get out! SLAP. Avalon’s date storms out but “Pretty Peter Avalon” says it is still PPA All Day! But it seems like his dates haven’t lasted long at all. Will the third time be the charm?

The Heavy Metal Rebel doesn’t mind keeping an eye on this next match, given who are in it.

 

The Hybrid2 VS Shawn Dean & Adam Priest!

Jack Evans and Angelico have gotten on SoCal Uncensored’s bad side but haven’t stuck around long enough to settle the fight. Will they at least back up all the trash Evans talks against The Captain and… Adam?

Winners: The Hybrid2, by submission

Kaz admits he was impressed, but that doesn’t mean they’re better than The Addiction. Evans talks trash, “I see you!” Kaz says that’s obvious, he’s sitting at ringside. Will SCU shut TH2 up as they take them down?

 

The Lucha Brothers VS David Ali & Ashton Starr!

Before they go 1v1 once again, Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix want to prove to everyone that they can still be the incredible tag team they are. Will they be able to stay united before going head to head?

The teams sort out and the Heavyweight Killer starts against Penta. Fans rally up already as the two circle and approach. Ali talks smack but Penta shoves him. Penta makes him listen to “CERO! MIEDO!” Ali gives the smack talk back, basically telling Penta to kiss his ass. Penta instead back kicks hard then headlcoks tight. Ali powers out, things speed up and Penta leaps over.

Cover, Lucha Brothers win!

Winners: The Lucha Brothers, by pinfall

Ali and Starr did pretty good but only for a moment, Penta and Fenix are still that damn good! But will they still be on good terms when it’s hermano a hermano?

 

Leva Bates VS Dani Jordyn!

The Librarian dumped Peter Avalon and we see how he’s taking it. But will the Real Mean Girl pick on Leva now that she’s all alone?

The bell rings and Leva seems to mistake the Burn Book for legitimate reading material. She thinks she and Dani can bond over that, and fans chant, “Book Club! Book Club!” Dani shows Leva her page, which has “Where’s Peter?” on it. Leva gets mad, takes off the glasses and shoves Dani! Dani shoves back, but Leva gets around to roll Dani to a SUPERKICK!

Ivelisse & Diamante VS Jennacide & Dreamgirl Ellie!

The Women’s Tag Cup winners have been winning again and again, but they need to keep winning to prove those medals are worth it! Will La Sicaria and the Cuban Diamond keep going until they’re golden?

The teams sort out and Ivelisse starts against the wrestling cyborg. Ivelisse obviously doesn’t take her seriously so she slaps Jenna’s glasses away! Jenna shoves Ivelisse down!

Jurassic Express VS Sonny Kiss & Joey Janela!

Jersey’s Finest are back together in the ring but their road trip to the top might be off to a bumpy restart. Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus have been barreling down the tracks, will Jurassic Express run the Concrete Rose and Bad Boy off the road?

Janela was late to kicking out at the count of 4, Jurassic Express has already won! But there’s much respect between these teams as they all stand and celebrate together. Will a boy and his dinosaur be the ones to challenge the AEW Tag Team Champions in the aftermath of Full Gear?


My Thoughts:

Not a bad Dark here. I like that the last two, from both before and after Full Gear, are under ten matches. That’s the sweet spot for Dark, in my opinion. It was great to see D-Von’s sons in action, I am hoping Team TNT has a huge career ahead of them. I am also starting to like Max Caster for being a Heel, he’s doing great with these raps about his opponents, it’s very Thuganomics Cena. The team getting a name is also a bit of a sign that they could do some big stuff. Top Flight had a decent match but I feel it could’ve been better if not for Frankie Thomas. Was he okay after that first arm-drag? He might’ve gotten rattled but didn’t want to stop since this was his chance to be on air. But I’m sure Top Flight will be winning even more as AEW adds even more to its already illustrious tag division.

TH2 and the Lucha Brothers do great for themselves, and I like that Kaz was out for commentary for just that one match with TH2. Leva and Dani had a fun match with the book gags, and it’s great Leva gets a win. Peter Avalon’s new gimmick is actually going pretty well, I love the twist that they were actually in a fancy elevator. Still wondering if Avalon gets a new manager through this after all, it could be a way to give a new recruit some shine. For that matter, Jennacide and Dreamgirl Ellie got some great shine from Ivelisse and Diamante. While AEW let Kris Statlander go based on COVID related travel issues, if they ever get to sign her back, I want either Kris VS Jenna or them as a team. Galaxy’s Greatest Alien and the cyborg make for a great combination for us sci-fi fans.

Commentary with Starks was great again, especially during Angels VS Fuego. Angels and Fuego have a really good, really fast match, and Dark Order as a whole is being kept strong outside of big things like matches with Orange Cassidy. The main event was really good, too, but clearly Jurassic Express is on a roll. With the Young Bucks now champions, there are any number of great match-ups they can have. Though I was kind of wondering why FTR never gave Jungle Boy and “the dumbass dinosaur” as they called him their Brush of Greatness. We have a long way before AEW Revolution 2021, so maybe Jurassic Express fights their way up the ranks in a huge tournament or something.

My Score: 8/10

Parking Lot Brawl: Trent Beretta VS Chuck Taylor!

Years of friendship, thrown away, and why? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Freshly Squeezed having more success in AEW than them? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Cassidy as a person? Because #JustTrent turned out to be the selfish one in the relationship? Well, then will #JustTrent get his ass kicked? Or will he take advantage of how Chuckie T. is a Kentucky Gentleman?

The white car has red polka dots on it now, and Trent talks trash, “This is what you wanted?!” Trent runs up, but Chuck POP UP POWERBOMBS Trent onto a car hood! Trent writhes, Chuck staggers around, and Chuck brings Trent around.

Chuck headlocks Trent before he SMACKS him off another car door. Trent goes around the back and then up onto a truck! Chuck follows, and he CLUBS Trent in the chest! But Trent slips under, and he CLAWS Chuck’s bloody face! Trent DECKS Chuck and Chuck falls through drywall sheets! Trent looms over Chuck as he crawls out of the wreckage. Trent stalks Chuck, brings him around and SMACKS him with the trash can lid! Trent hoists Chuck onto a car roof, SMACKS him again, then goes back to the truck. Trent climbs onto the roof of the truck, to FLYING ELBOW from car to car! Cover, TWO!!

Trent is furious, but Chuck is still in this as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Trent fumes, paces around, and goes back to the goodies. He brings out… Is that a screwdriver?! And he JABS Chuck in the head with it!! And then he DIGS it into Chuck’s forehead!! As if he wasn’t already bleeding badly!! Trent leaves Chuck behind, to fetch what looks to be a flat screen TV. Then he brings out a wood door!? Did someone visit Home Depot before coming here? Chuck CHOPS Trent in return then fires haymakers! Trent CLAWS Chuck’s face! Trent grabs that TV and CHUCKS it, only for Chuck to duck it! Rampage returns as TV screen hits windshield! Chuck kicks low to snap suplex Trent through the door!!

The crowd is losing its minds as Trent crawls. Chuck gets Trent’s legs, to CATAPULT him into the truck’s tailgate!! The crowd fires up while Chuck gets a sinister look on his face. Chuck takes a piece of that drywall to SMASH it on Trent! Chuck gets that trash can, he SMACKS Trent with it! Chuck sees the pile of extra goodies nearby, and he uncovers some light tubes! But first, he’ll clean up the mess, he SMACKS Trent with the dust pan! And SMACKS him again and again! And then one more shot with the trash can! Trent writhes, but Chuck drags Trent up. Chuck SMACKS Trent off the tailgate, then clears some space.

Chuck climbs up, but Trent ROCKET LAUNCHES him onto the light tubes!!! The tubes shatter under Chuck’s back! Trent sputters, he’s bloody now, too. Trent puts Chuck against the car hood and stands on him! Trent soaks up the heat, but Chuck TRIPS Trent! Trent writhes, Chuck reels Trent in, Canadian Rack, RAZOR’S EDGE onto a windshield!! Trent writhes while fans chant “HOLY CHUCK!” Chuck covers Trent on the hood, TWO!! Trent survives and hurries around the back of this sedan. Chuck snarls, goes up after Trent, and they meet on the roof. They’re both so bloody as they fire forearms back and forth!

The crowd cheers Chuck and boos Trent, and as the two swing wild, they end up HUGGING! You GOT to give the people what they want, right? They stand, Chuck ROCKS Trent and reels Trent in, but Trent LOW BLOWS!! Trent has Chuck now, PILEDRIVER ON THE CAR ROOF!!! And then, SNAKE BITE!! Trent is choking Chuck out!!! Chuck IS out, Trent wins!!

Winner: Trent Beretta, by submission

The Best Friends tore each other apart, but it is #JustTrent that stands tall in the end. He’s clearly lost the respect of his peers given how the other wrestlers are chanting “You Suck! You Suck!” But wait, Trent isn’t done? He has a monkey wrench!? Cassidy & Kris step forward to say no, this is going too far! Trent says this is all Cassidy’s fault! And SMASH, Trent hits Chuck’s leg with the wrench, and even shatters the glass behind it!! Chuck clutches the already recovering leg, and now Cassidy wants after Trent! Kris stops Cassidy, Trent’s still got the wrench! Trent escapes into the shadows of the arena, what darkness is living in Trent’s heart?

 

Don Callis is watching this.

And he seems to like the sadistic savagery he just witnessed. Trent may not have Best Friends anymore, but could he end up with a whole new family?

 

Backstage interview with Kyle O’Reilly.

Arkady Aura is with #CombatKyle and brings up his impressive showing in Dynamite’s Casino Gauntlet this past Wednesday. But we all want to know, what is next for her? Well, on Saturday, May 11th, AEW is coming to his hometown! Collision in Vancouver, British Columbia! The Rogers Arena, the same building an 11-year-old Kyle saw his first wrestling show ever. And at that show, Kyle told his dad that he was gonna do this one day. Papa O’Reilly said, “Oh yeah, sure you will, kid.” But somehow, Kyle pulled it off. 25 years later, he’s coming back home to do the one thing he’s ever been good at and that’s wrestling.

Kyle is going to take on the best wrestlers this world has to offer, right here in AEW, where the best wrestle. Kyle is ready for a fight, who will take him up on that in two weeks?

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.

Arkady Aura is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett as she notes Will Ospreay is the NEW #1 Contender to the AEW International Championship. Taven says hold on, before we get started here, “Not Lexy,” as three guys who care deeply about neck health, and as two guys who nursed someone from the brink of paralysis (aka Roddy), The Kingdom wishes a very speedy recovery to “the world’s greatest boss. TK, stay strong, buddy.” Roddy then shouts that “WILL… Ospreay. Congratulations, you did it! You have signed, sealed and delivered the downfall, demise and destruction of The Aerial Assassin at Double or Nothing.”

Roddy says the world can sing Ospreay’s praises, but none of that matters when you step in the ring with Roddy. Just like all the ones before, Roddy will dismantle Ospreay, he will BREAK Ospreay, and he will make Ospreay fall in front of The Savior of the Backbreaker. Roddy’s confidence is strong, but will Roddy be the one feeling the End of Heartache after taking on the #BillyGOAT?

 

“Big Bill” Morrissey VS Trevor Blackwell!

The human skyscraper says he wants to sit under the Learning Tree, but Chris Jericho’s gonna need a bigger tree if he’s to give guidance to Big Bill. Will Bill prove he is worthy of The Wizard’s sage advice?

The moment Bill is in the ring, he SPLASHES Trevor right in the corner! The bell rings, Bill runs to BOOT Trevor down! Trevor flounders around, Bill runs corner to corner and SPLASHES again! Trevor flops around, Bill wants Jericho to watch this.

Bill then tells Jericho to watch him! Scoop and BIG BOSS SLAM!! Cover, but Bill lets off! Bill wags his finger, he wants Jericho to see more.

Bill brings Trevor up, reels him in, and short arm LARIATS! Cover, but again Bill lets off! Bill is having too much fun at poor Trevor’s expect. Bill says Jericho’s gonna wanna teach him. Bill hoists Trevor up for the SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM!! One foot cover, a very Jericho move, and Bill wins!

Winner: “Big Bill” Morrissey, by pinfall

Trev might want to change his last name to Well-done, because he got roasted. Bill wants Jericho’s guidance, does he even need it when he can do all this?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!

Katsuyori Shibata & Daniel Garcia VS Shane Taylor Promotions!

The Wrestler said during Collision earlier tonight that he was going to take on Shane Taylor Promotions by himself if he had to, but then the Dragonslayer offered his help. Now they’re both going to take on #TAIGASTYLE and Big Bad Shaney T. himself! Garcia wears basic trunks and boots to match Shibata, will The Wrestlers win out? Or will STP rumble, bad man, rumble?

Winners: Katsuyori Shibata & Daniel Garcia, by pinfall

Shibata helps Garcia stand up, and Garcia is proud to have won alongside one of his heroes! And with the fans cheering him on, Garcia sets up… to DO HIS DANCE! Will this momentum help Shibata avenge Hook and take that FTW Championship off of Chris Jericho? Or will The Learning Tree have some things to teach Shibata?


My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here, though I was oddly more excited when I thought it was just Deonna VS Rosa and the Parking Lot Brawl. But even so, at least Bill squashing a dude was used in story. He was showing off, he’ll surely have Jericho’s blessing if he helps defeat Shibata on Dynamite, but a part of me almost wants this to be all a trap. Bill was teammates with Ricky Starks in a feud against Jericho, and if Jericho is being obliviously arrogant then maybe Bill is using that against Jericho, too. But either way, let’s just hope this story helps Bill get going rather than slow him down like the #JerichoVortex has always done.

The Parking Lot Brawl was moving maybe a bit fast for me, especially with how there were some obvious spots already set up when they arrived, such as the drywall draped across the truck bed. But they surely got bloody, and in the end, Trent won out because he was willing to sink to the lowest low. And then they’ve written Chuck off again with that monkey wrench to the shin, so Cassidy VS Trent is definitely a Double or Nothing match. And something is just telling me that if Kris is gonna turn out to be the villain in the Willow Nightingale story, she’s probably gonna screw Cassidy over to help Trent, too.

Really good match from Deonna VS Rosa, and with Rosa getting a quick pin then that brawl, we’re clearly getting more out of them. Good promo from Kyle O’Reilly to hype AEW’s newest Canada tour, and good promo from The Kingdom to tie in their old Neck Health Awareness gag to the Tony Khan piledriver angle. Roddy calling out Ospreay, I would definitely think Ospreay wins the title at Double or Nothing. And really good tag main event from Shibata & Garcia VS Shane Taylor Promotions. STP keeps getting great showings even in losing, but Lee took the loss here to keep Shane himself strong. Great win for Shibata but this just adds to the go-home math where Jericho retains the FTW Championship on Dynamite.

My Score: 8.7/10

Mitchell’s AEW Collision Results & Report! (4/27/24)

It’s a slam dunk!

Published

on

Guns up for all the Jacksonville Gold Members!

Another three hour block of All Elite Wrestling starts with a Collision! But will the Bang Bang Gang still be the best three man unit ever? Or will Top Flight go from the coldest to the goldest trio in the game?

OFFICIAL RESULTS

  • Unified AEW & ROH World Trios Championships: Bullet Club Gold VS Top Flight; Bullet Club Gold wins and retains the titles.
  • Rey Fenix w/ Alex Abrahantes VS The Beast Mortos; Fenix wins.
  • Rush VS Martin Stone; Rush wins.
  • Toni Storm w/ Mariah May & Luther VS Anna Jay; Storm wins.
  • The Acclaimed VS Grizzled Young Veterans; The Acclaimed win.
  • AEW World Championship: Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Claudio Castagnoli; Swerve wins and retains the title.

PLAY BY PLAY

Swerve Strickland is here!

Prince Nana again leads the way as the NEW AEW World Champion makes his way out here. The Realest opened Dynamite with a win, but he walks back out to Daily’s Place to stand in the ring to finally acknowledge his victory at Dynasty. Nana says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the man standing in front of you today is the Boss of Bosses! The man standing in front of you today is the Anointed One in Professional Wrestling! The man standing in front of you is one hell of a wrestler. And he’s none other than the AEW World Heavyweight Champion, Swerve Strickland!” The fans cheer and chant, “Thank You, Swerve!”

Swerve says what a week we’ve had here in AEW! Let’s run it down: a NEW TBS Champion in Willow Nightingale; by the grace of God, Adam Cole can walk; Adam Copeland got misted in the face by The House of Black; Will Ospreay and Bryan Danielson tore the house down; and then… Jack Perry returned. The fans boo but Swerve says Jack’s back in AEW, and he struck Tony Khan, the founder of AEW, who put his faith in Swerve. On top of that, The EVPs, the Young Bucks are again the AEW World Tag Team Champions, and they hit Tony Khan with the whatever it is driver, and now TK is in a neck brace and who knows when we’ll see him in healthy condition.

Now, Swerve will be the first to tell everyone, he’s done some horrible things. Once, twice, three, four times. But something about four elite athletes beating down a non-fighter in TK, that sounds like a b*tch move to him. The fans echo “B*TCH MOVE!” but Swerve wants to get to business. The most important thing that happened this week is Swerve went into Dynasty and he made history by dethroning Samoa Joe and becoming the NEW AEW World Champion! Now, a pet peeve of his is those going around calling themselves “Best in the World.” But make no mistake, the Best in the World is the one holding this title right here!

Last week, it was Samoa Joe. This week, it’s Swerve, baby. And Swerve got here by fighting, but also by making sacrifices. Swerve says the night he won this title, he went to his daughter. She said, “Dad, I love you, I’m so proud of you. But I feel like I just don’t know you.” That hit Swerve to his core. His relationship with his children is everything. But he’s missed birthdays, holidays, basketball games, dance recitals, Father-Daughter dances, and he can’t make up for lost time. But what he can do is set the example and blaze a trail, to make sure this was all worth it. The fans cheer that!

Swerve continues by saying AEW has set people in front of him and he’s knocked them all down! Kyle Fletcher was just one. Now, how about an Open Challenge for the AEW World Championship? But only to someone who really wants to fight! So how about it, Jacksonville? We’re entering a new era in AEW, the Dynasty Era! And the elite of that era is whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But then here comes Claudio Castagnoli! The Swiss Superman is in a suit, not his gear, but he does get in the ring. Claudio circles Swerve, then takes the mic and holds up a finger. The fans still chant, but Claudio says, “You’re on.”

Swerve says see you later tonight then, in whose house? But then Claudio snatches the mic again! “It’s gonna be mine.” The fans are intrigued but Claudio is looking to end Swerve’s Dynasty the same week it started! Will the Swiss Superman bring even more gold to the Blackpool Combat Club?

 

Tony Khan has a medical update.

He is feeling grateful and blessed that he can still walk, talk and work, as was seen during the NFL Draft with Tony Khan alongside his father, Shahid, in the Jacksonville Jaguars war room. However, the doctors have advised TK not to travel, so he will be monitoring AEW Dynamite in Winnipeg remotely. Will that mean The EVPs will be in control of things in person this Wednesday…?

 

Unified AEW & ROH World Trios Championships: Bullet Club Gold VS Top Flight!

When it comes to Six Man Tags, the Bang Bang Gang runs this! But while they have six belts for the three of them, will that only weigh them all down against one of the fastest moving and fastest rising teams? Or will Jay White & The Gunns shoot Action, Darius & Dante outta the sky?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who holds all the trios gold!

The trios sort out, White starts against Dante and the two talk a little trash over how the Casino Gauntlet went on Wednesday.

Austin bumps Dante off buckles, tags White, and White RAMS into Dante again and again! White hushes everyone, to CHOP! Dante sits down, Colten tags in, and Colten drags Dante up to suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO!

Colten keeps Dante from his team, then tags Austin. The Gunns mug Dante, then Austin whips. Dante holds ropes, BOOTS Austin, then DECKS Colten! But White trips Dante up! The fans boo but Dante dodges White to slide in, dodge Austin, and Darius sneaks a tag! Dante ducks Austin to DIVE onto White! Darius rallies on the Gunns, then fires off hands! Darius whips, Action reverses, but Darius atomic drops! Darius then BULLDOG HOTSHOTS Austin, GAMANGIRIS, and the fans fire up! Action jumps in, Darius kicks Colten away, then he holds ropes down so Action can FLY! Down goes Colten! STEP-IN FLATLINER on Austin! Cover, TWO!

The fans rally, Darius builds speed, and Darius slides, but Austin dodges! White CLOBBERS Darius! White drags Darius up for an APRON GOURD BUSTER! The fans are torn but Collision goes picture in picture.

White slides in to cover Darius, TWO! White is annoyed but he scuffs Darius then stands on him. The ref reprimands, but White drags Darius up. Darius fires body shots but White CLUBS him down. Cover, TWO! Tag to Colten, and BCG mugs Darius. Colten brings Darius around to bump him off buckles, then stomp and DECK him! Colten soaks up the heat, digs his boot into Darius, but lets off as the ref counts. Tag to White, and he drags Darius up to JAB! And JAB! And CHOP! White brings Darius around to TOSS back out! White then goes out to fetch Darius, the Gunns and Top Flight keeping each other at bay.

White SMACKS Darius off the apron, then the Gunns hop into the crowd to start up a “Too Sweet!” chant. White CHOPS Darius, and now the Gunns start a “One More Time!” chant! White refreshes the ring count first, argues with the ref, and that allows the Gunns to mug Darius! The Gunns get away with that while the ref is busy with White and Dante, but then Darius fires hands on the Gunns! Darius slides into the ring, White anchors him on the outside, and Collision returns to single picture. Darius BOOTS White into railing, hurries for his corner, but The Gunns YANK Dante and Action down! The fans boo but White clamps onto Darius.

White mockingly holds Darius’ hand out to no one, then stands him up to CHOP! White brings Darius around, taunts Action, then CHOPS! White wrenches, but Darius ROCKS White! And ROCKS him again! White CHOPS Darius but Darius PELES! Both men are down, White tags Colten! Colten tags Austin, they get in Darius’ way, then double whip him to the corner. Austin sends Colten in but Darius dodges, Colten hits buckles! Austin runs up, but Darius goes up and over and handsprings to hot tag Action! Action rallies on the Gunns, BLASTS White for good measure, then keeps going! The fans fire up for Action as he whips Austin.

Austin reverses, Action handsprings, DOUBLE BACK ELBOW for the Gunns! Action kips up, then he runs in at Austin! UPPERCUT in the corner! Colten runs in, but is sent into Austin!

Backstage interview with Katsuyori Shibata.

Arkady is now with The Wrestler, and she brings up the issues with Shane Taylor Promotions. But at the same time, he is going to be challenging Chris Jericho for the FTW Championship. Any last words before that match? Shibata uses his Google Translate voice-to-text to “say” that he is going to chop down The Learning Tree and take Jericho’s title. And any plans for Shane Taylor? Shibata “says,” Rampage will see him take on STP alone. But then Daniel Garcia steps in. Garcia tells Shibata-san that he has respect for him. If Shibata needs help against STP, Garcia will help him. What does he say?

Shibata takes a moment to type it out, and says okay. Save the last dance for him. Garcia nods and dances his way off screen. Will the Dragonslayer help The Wrestler take the fight to Big Bad Shaney T. Boy?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision, even with it having to be slightly delayed by NBA Playoffs. There was criticism out there that Swerve didn’t get a chance to talk on Dynamite, but he still had a really good promo to open Collision, and it worked better that he’d be able to reference the attack on Tony Khan from Dynamite. Swerve subtly calls out a lot of wrestlers within AEW, and technically some outside of AEW, by saying he doesn’t like people just calling themselves “Best in the World.” He and Claudio had an awesome main event match, though maybe a false finish too many. Swerve of course retained, and can’t wait to see who a now EVP dominated AEW chooses as Swerve’s opponent. It would be hilariously corrupt of The Bucks to make it Jack Perry.

Great Six Man title match tonight, solid first defense for Bang Bang Gang. Great tag match from Acclaimed with Grizzled Young Veterans, but it makes sense Acclaimed would win as the AEW home team. I’m just not sure where Acclaimed go from here other than Billy Gunn saying they can return to the tag division and challenge The Bucks. After all, FTR got pretty banged up in the ladder match and it’d be a bit soon for them to get a rematch against The Bucks. Swerve could team up with The Acclaimed if they’re all going to target The Elite, and vice-versa, going towards Double or Nothing.

Great return matches for Rey Fenix and Rush, but I didn’t think Rush would just do a squash match. Fenix, Pac and Penta all being healthy at the same time, Death Triangle going for the trios titles? Lucha Bros going for tag titles? And I’m really hoping LFI truly gets going here in AEW, also going for the trios titles or something like that. Really good promo from Cassidy with Kris and then Cassidy with Chuck to hype up the Parking Lot Brawl, that thing is gonna kick off Rampage and be wild stuff. Good promo from House of Black to call out Edge, but you can bet this won’t be the only time they go for the TNT Championship. Edge will surely beat Buddy or Brody, and then it’s Malakai challenging at Double or Nothing.

Good promo from Shibata and Garcia to set up a tag match for Rampage, that’ll be great stuff. Good interview promo for Deeb, though it doesn’t add all that much from everything else she’s said to this point. Storm VS Anna was a very good match, and of course Storm won. No Mina showing up was a little surprising, but there’s plenty of time to build the mentor love triangle. Deeb VS Storm will be great stuff, and depending on how they play this, there’s half a chance Deeb wins because Storm will end up preoccupied with Mina and Mariah being so close. Deeb can take the title and face Deonna, Rosa, and a number of others while Storm and Mina fight over Mariah quite literally.

My Score: 8.8/10
