AEW Dark presents The Waiting Room!
Rebel wants us all to smile, and she introduces The Doctor, Britt Baker! Britt thanks the audience that they’re so kind week after week. She gets right to talking up AEW Dynamite’s New Year’s Smash. First off, Brian Cage VS Darby Allin for the TNT Championship. Taz says Darby is a paper champion, and Britt is ready to see Cage fold Darby up like emo origami. But let’s get serious. There’s the AEW World Championship, Omega VS Fenix. The only unfortunate comment she has is that every other company’s world title match will look like dogs*it compared to this one. There is no competing, sorry about your luck.
Britt is happy to welcome back Jon Moxley! And she will apologize on behalf of AEW that he couldn’t even share a baby announcement without Cody Rhodes trying to steal his spotlight. This is AEW, that’s just what happens. Britt welcomes this week’s guest, and they could not be more excited. Don’t slip now, Rebel! It’s Matt Sydal! Rebel gets the door for Sydal and then hands him a mic. Britt thanks Sydal for coming to the show, and no one will ever forget his “slick” debut. No one will ever joke about it. Sydal admits he does still feel like a Shockmaster. “When you slip like that, your whole life flashes right before your eyes. It is an experience that brings you one step closer to transcendence.”
Well moving past the slip, talk about his record now. He’s slipping upwards because now he’s on The Waiting Room! But his record isn’t flawless, he has some losses, but he’s got a string of wins. He beat Christopher Daniels. Well so does everyone. He beat Aaron Solow. Who? And Danny Limelight! That’s not a real person. But Britt admits, Sydal’s record is “super duper impressive.” Yet, he can’t win the big one. What will Sydal do to make sure that New Year’s Smash doesn’t end up like that debut splash? Well at New Year’s Smash, Sydal turns the ring into his realm. It won’t be EVP Cody Rhodes’ ring, it will be Sydal’s Realm. That will be a chance to open hearts, minds and third eyes.
Whoa, incoming mail! Rebel opens it for Britt and holds it open for her to read. “Dear Dr. Baker, could you hang this poster of The Go Big Show on the wall of your Waiting Room set? Please and thank you, TBS…?!” Well, at least they said please and thank you. Ugh, whatever, get the poster. Rebel is handed said poster, and it has Snoop Dog, Rosario Dawson and of course, Cody Rhodes. This whole company is about him, so it seems Sydal’s match is just a vehicle to self-promote. Maybe Cody should team with Burt and Sydal can get Snoop, and Sydal ‘n’ Snoop can smoke ’em!
The poster is put up, Sydal points out how he and Cody once shared a magazine cover and that must’ve eaten Cody alive. Sydal says Cody surely wouldn’t mind him opening the third eye. Sydal grabs a marker and Rebel finishes pinning the poster to the wall. Sydal doodles a third eye on Cody’s forehead. Goes to show, the ring will be Sydal’s. Britt believes Sydal, Rebel believes Sydal, the fans believe Sydal. New Year’s Smash will be Sydal’s comeback splash! And that’s all for this week, wave good-bye and good-night for Britt Baker, DMD.
Six Man Tag: Team Taz VS RYZIN, James Tapia & Nick Comoroto!

The AEW World Tag Team Champions use the belts to chase off Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, Jack Evans and Angelico! Will the Bucks and the Addiction teach these hungry, young teams about respect?
My Thoughts:
A pretty good Dark, just over two hours. All the matches were good, of course, but it was good to see Team Taz have a Six Man together as a warm-up for the eventual Six Man with Cody, Darby and definitely Sting. Hobbs, Cage and Starks are definitely a great team in both their look and on their abilities, but because it’s Cody, Darby and Sting, pretty sure the Faces win. I also liked how The Waiting Room was a way of building up Cody VS Sydal, right down to plugging The Go Big Show. Sydal should’ve used a different color to doodle on Cody’s head, though. The red didn’t show up well in the lighting, he should’ve gone with purple or blue.
And of course SCU VS TH2, with SCU’s tag team career on the line, was the main event tonight. But it being the first time and only on AEW Dark of course meant SCU was going to win. But the Acclaimed showing up was quite the surprise. Then the Bucks coming out to run them off instead of Scorpio Sky, it makes me think that first, we’re getting an 8 Man Tag. Then SCU will have a rematch with The Acclaimed to strengthen their story, and I would think SCU continues until they’re on the verge of that big win. SCU losing in a title match to then create a break up just seems like the right course of action.
My Score: 8.2/10

Backstage interview with Billie Starkz.
Lexy Nair is with her ROH Minion buddy, and notes that Billie is the first ROH woman entered in the first ever WrestleDynasty International Women’s Cup! Billie, what an opportunity, how are you feeling? She is excited! This is the second chance she’s been waiting for, and- Red Velvet steps in to say more like NO chance. Because see, Velvet is also in that match, and well, she already beat Billie. So her odds are looking really good. But then in steps Leyla Hirsch. And she says lucky for them both, because Leyla’s in this! Leyla beat Velvet once, and just looking at Billie, Leyla knows she can beat her.
Oh but then in steps the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena! The Minion Overlord defends her bestie and Billie, and says it is finally time for the Athena World Tour! She is the fourth participant, even though, why does she have to qualify for HER show? Athena has beaten Velvet, she’s beaten “Small fry” Leyla, and well… Billie Goat, we all know Athena dog walked her! Velvet says Athena shouldn’t talk to Billie like that.

Backstage interview with QT Marshall.
Lexy is now with QT and says later int he Zero Hour, it is QT VS Big Boom AJ. QT took AJ out last night after the weigh-in, will it be the same here tonight? QT wants Lexy to remember, pronounce it “Mar-shall.” And yes, in QT’s home state of New Jersey, the best part will be QT remembering why he left. It’s a dump! Especially Newark! But AJ is also from New Jersey, and he properly represents this dump. Whether AJ is on the Tonight Show, on TikTok, or here in AEW, he is the epitome of someone from The Garden State: an embarrassment! He’s worse than Bruce Springsteen himself!
And tonight, in a sold out crowd that QT drew all himself, it will be like going to his high school reunion and showing how he is more successful than everyone else. And he’ll do that by walking to the ring, staring down AJ, and bringing the doom! Will QT Marshall make himself the boss of the Zero Hour? Or will it be a BOOM for all of New Jersey when QT loses?
New Year’s Day is a NEW ERA for AEW!

Mercedes Mone & Kamille arrive backstage.
The CEO is upset that her title defense has to be here in disgusting Newark, NJ. But since the cameras are here, she has something to say to Kamille now. This last month has been super frustrating. Actually, more like embarrassing! Kamille came out to the crowd, pandering for sympathy?! Mone wouldn’t even be in this mess if not for Kamille in the first place! Kamille shows up wanting to attack Kris Statlander, and then she loses to her?! And let’s not even start on her bad driving! Is Kamille stupid or just dumb? Kamille tells Mone to watch herself. Mone asks if she gave Kamille permission to speak. Does Kamille not know who Mone is and what she’s done for this business?
Mone is The CEO, the greatest woman’s champion o fall time! And tonight, Kamille can just watch from catering as Mone shows how a real woman gets the job done. Watch and learn. Mone leaves, Kamille rolls her eyes, but clearly Kamille wishes she could use both arms right now. Will the Brickhouse just have to watch Two Belts Mone lose one of those belts all on her own?

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Lexy Nair is with Freshly Squeezed and says this past Wednesday, The Death Riders sent a clear message. How is that affecting his mindset tonight? Cassidy says yes, they sent a message. But tonight, “we” send a message back. AEW sends a message back! Private Party started it. They’re AEW Day One, and they’re the AEW World Tag Team Champions. Because AEW means everything to them, just like it does to Cassidy and to all the fans here tonight. How could Moxley possibly understand that? Because Moxley never needed AEW. Cassidy wouldn’t exist without AEW. So tonight, Cassidy shows that AEW doesn’t need Moxley!
Cassidy takes the power, the symbol of what AEW represents, and puts it in his backpack as the NEW AEW World Champion. Cassidy heads out, will he make this all become a reality?

Will Ospreay VS Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis!
We just saw a storied rivalry in Hangman and White play out, but this is itself a story as old as time. The Aerial Assassin led The Aussie Arrow in the United Empire and felt they were not just friends but brothers. And yet, perhaps with the influence of Don Callis, Kyle became bitter and betrayed Ospreay. However, Kyle’s a bit hypocritical, saying he’s nothing like Ospreay yet doing just what Ospreay has done to his own mentors. Going by the new ring gear, is Ospreay going to punish Kyle for his crimes? Or is Kyle going to make himself the new king?

The fans cheer as the Costco Guys are here, giving out high-fives and fist bumps! QT is already annoyed but Lexy says before we get started, do either of them have something to say? QT steps up to say yes, he does! Enough with the “Boom,” first off! Tomorrow night, QT brings the doom!
QT told AJ 20 years ago that he didn’t have it. 20 years later, AJ still doesn’t have it! The fans boo but AJ just shrugs that off. AJ tells QT that QT’s been waiting those 20 years to get AJ in the ring. But AJ’s been waiting ever since QT tossed those double chunk chocolate cookies! The fans cheer that! But AJ says hold on, hold on. He’s got a special surprise for us. He wants someone real special to be at Full Gear to ring the bell when AJ rings QT’s bell and he Power-Booms QT through this ring. QT asks who. AJ says there’s only one guy that can be. They scratch their chins, and yes, it’ll be THE RIZZLER!!
QT is seething but the fans love it! QT gets to business by taking off the jacket and the sweatpants. QT steps on the scale, flexes, and we get the numbers on the tron: 229 pounds flat for QT! QT is all fired up, he’s bringing that heavyweight build. The fans fire up for AJ, “Bring the Boom! Bring the Boom!” Wait, what? 550?! AJ’s big but not THAT big. QT says this must be why he’s Big Boom AJ. Maybe he should laugh off the double chunk chocolate cookies. Big Justice steps up! And he says we all know QT rigged the scale! Right? Right? But see, that won’t matter when his dad brings that BOOM on Saturday night! Is QT ready?
QT steps up but AJ gets in QT’s way. QT takes a swing! AJ ROCKS QT first! AJ makes sure Big Justice is okay, but then QT hits the DIAMOND CUTTER! The fans boo but QT says that’s gonna be the DOOM! Will QT not care who or what Big Boom AJ brings to Full Gear? Or will he slammed on the mat for The Rizzler?
AEW takes a closer look at the AEW World Tag Team Championship Fatal 4 Way.
Malakai Black says, “Eight men, four destinies intertwined.” Anthony Bowens recaps: The Acclaimed, Kings of the Black Throne, Outrunners, and Private Party, fighting for the titles. Marq Quen says he and Zay worked SO damn hard for these titles. But The Outrunners are hard as a rock! Malakai says The House has a “trigger full of promises to deliver.” Bowens says they have everyone’s number, but The Outrunners feel they have nothing to lose! Malakai & Brody say come one, come all, for all shall perish! Zay promises he & Quen will do whatever it takes to leave Full Gear still your AEW World Tag Team Champions, and that’s a flex.
Juice Robinson VS The Butcher!
While everyone else, such as the Bang Bang Gang’s fearless leader, Jay White, gears up for Full Gear, Rock Hard Robinson is just looking to get a win. Butcher almost shoves him off the apron, will Butcher cause this Collision Cowboy to go off the rails? Or will it be Guns Up for the Reading, Pennsylvania Gold Members?

Butcher runs up, into a LEG LARIAT! Juice grits his teeth and the fans fire up. Juice pumps up, takes aim, and he JABS! JABS! JABS! Juice roars, and Butcher falls for the left hand feint! DDT!

Winner: Juice Robinson, by pinfall
And that’s one for Bullet Club Gold! Will Jay White look to do just as much damage to Hangman Page? Or will the Blackhat Cowboy still be number one with a bullet?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
There will be no Friday Night Rampage next week, because it will be a BACK-TO-BACK Rampage & Collision Saturday night! Make sure your DVR is ready for three hours of AEW action!
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Lexy is with La Mera Mera and brings up how next week will be an ALL LUCHA Rampage. That must be exciting. Rosa is beyond excitement! It is about time they get some lucha libre to spice up Rampage. Atlantis Jr, Hechicero, and the return of Mystico! C’mon, now! Well what about Rosa? Yes, what about Rosa? Rosa hasn’t had a true lucha match in awhile, but why not? An open challenge for any luchadora or female wrestler that wants after La Mera Mera! In steps Harley Cameron, wearing a Hologram mask, and putting on a robot voice. “Greetings. I am famed luchadora, Harley-gram, the female counterpart to Hologram.”
Rosa is trying not to laugh as “Harley-gram” officially accepts the open challenge. Rosa tells Harley-gram that she looks familiar. Like a certain someone she beat two weeks ago. Does not compute with Harley-gram. Okay, fine. Compute this: Next week, Rosa will yank her cord and shut her down! OH SHUT UP! What? Uh… Danger! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! “Harley-gram” runs off and Rosa asks if this is really happening. Rosa sighs, but will she just have to reboot Harley back to factory settings?
Ricochet speaks.
“I have had my eyes on the International title since I debuted in AEW. And Takeshita has cost me my chance at becoming International Champion on more than one occasion. I was the last person to pin the International Champion, and I plan on doing it one more time, at Full Gear. At Full Gear, Takeshita finds out what the world already knows: That Ricochet is not from here. Ricochet is outta this world!” The King of Flight is determined to dethrone The Alpha. Will Ricochet become The One & Only International Champion?
BREAKING NEWS for the Full Gear Zero Hour!
Anna Jay lost last week in her last chance championship match, but she also rejected the offer of The Vendetta. Now Deonna Purrazzo is looking to teach Anna why that was a mistake. Will The Virtuosa make sure Anna’s never The Star of the Show? Or will she learn why Anna’s still The Queenslayer? Then, we see Dante Martin, The Beast Mortos, Komander and Buddy Matthews compete in what will surely be a fast and furious Fatal 4 Way! Who wins some big momentum, and possibly a spot in the Continental Classic?
Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS The Dark Order!
While Tomohiro Ishii is aiming for the ROH World Championship next Wednesday on Thanksgiving Eve, he, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero don’t mind building up momentum in the Trios Division. Will the Stone Pitbull, Sussex County Chicken & Azucar be rolling towards titles? Or can Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver remind everyone that The Dark Order is good enough?

A great battle from these factions, but it is Strong Style that wins out! Will this happen again when Ishii goes 1v1 with The Learning Tree? Or will Chris Jericho make sure the Age of Nueve lasts forever and ever?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for the go-home to Full Gear, but it was definitely just a go-home. They’re even ending with the November Rain music video from last Saturday as I type this. Good promo from Ricochet to hype up his match with Takeshita, but that’s still a toss-up to me. A part of me does want Ricochet to have the International Champion so Takeshita can enter the Continental Classic and go after Okada like he was supposed to do just a month ago. It really depends on what the Don Callis Family story is going to be with Ospreay and Fletcher, as The Don Callis Family isn’t losing everything at Full Gear.
Great opening tag of Mariah & Mina VS Nyla & Harley, though I really thought that was going to be the main event. But at the same time, of course Mariah & Mina won. No tease for anything at Full Gear so maybe they’ll wait to surprise us with Toni Storm or something tomorrow. Harley becoming “Harley-gram” just to get a rematch with Rosa was hilarious stuff, as does that “All Lucha Rampage” episode they’re hyping up. But oh look, next week is back-to-back Rampage and Collision on a Saturday just to try and undercut Survivor Series. It won’t matter, I’m still watching WarGames and leaving AEW for after, but it’s nice of them to do everything on one night.
Very good filler match of Juice VS Butcher, that was a strong return to singles action for Juice. Very nice Zero Hour matches but I kinda wish they’d given us a segment on TV to set up Deonna VS Anna rather than just announcing it. Maybe there was something social media had but I’m still not someone who follows all the socials. And that Fatal 4 Way is awesome, can’t wait to see who comes out of that a winner. Good promo overall from Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall, but I’m not sure it needed to be a weigh-in. A press conference style segment would’ve been fine, or even a contract signing, but I guess they just wanted to set up QT’s “lay off the cookies” joke. QT stands tall with his cutter taking down AJ, so you can bet AJ dooms QT in the Zero Hour.
Also great Six Man Tag main event, though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a main event without entrances. Great win for Conglomeration, though, but yeah, Ishii sure ain’t winning the ROH World Championship.
My Score: 8.8/10
