Winner: Nyla Rose, by pinfall
Gracia made for a nice snack, but clearly the Native Beast is not satisfied. Vickie gets a mic and shrilly screams, “EXCUSE MEEEE!!” She introduces herself as “the true representation of a business woman.” She has authority! When she talks, people listen! She has intelligence, because she signed Nyla Rose as her client. And Vickie educates people! She taught the C-BS-O, Brandi Rhodes, that her own plan is failing. And tonight, Vickie brought us entertainment as her client destroyed another opponent! So applaud for her! APPLAUD! Now, Nyla, take this “pink, pathetic popsicle stick and kick her to Candyland!” Gracia is tossed from the ring! Will the Vicious Vixens tear into every single woman on the roster until they get the respect and the rewards they want?
AEW Dark presents The Waiting Room!
Rebel asks us all to smile as she welcomes us back, and introduces The Doctor, Britt Baker! Baker dances her way in and thanks the audience for being here. She is so happy to be back, and first thing’s first, congrats to the NEW AEW World Champion, Kenny Omega! Britt has always loved Kenny, and has always known he’s good on the mic, but no one knew he was that good. Good on you, Kenny! Rebel’s fake laugh haunts us once again. Britt wants to also say a star has finally arrived in AEW, and a huge weight has been lifted off her shoulders. Welcome to AEW, Sting! Sting will be a guest on the Waiting Room one day, too! Rebel’s talking with his people, it’s just a matter of time.
And speaking of extremely talented wrestlers with amazing face paint, the exact opposite is Thunder Rosa! She had no business going after Britt! She is lucky AEW sent all the refs out to save her, or that would’ve gotten real ugly. Like one half of Rosa’s face! Rosa does not belong. Britt makes sure Rebel’s laugh doesn’t start up again. But moving on, here is The Natural, “the best coach in the game,” Dustin Rhodes! Dustin walks in, Rebel hands him a mic and Britt gives Dustin a quickly little hug. Take a seat so you don’t get tired. The three sit on the couch and talk the latest and greatest action figure, the Rhodes “Blood Brothers” two pack, based on Cody VS Dustin from Double or Nothing!
That was such a wild moment because Dustin’s like 80! Still busting out five-stars. The height difference is a bit comical, though. Dustin is 6’6″, but Cody’s contract is much bigger. Is she done making jokes? Dustin says he pays more quarterly in taxes than Britt makes in both wrestling and dentistry combined! But yes, that was a five-star match. And wait, did Britt’s boyfriend win Match of the Year? No, Dustin and Cody did. So yes, the action figures honoring that moment is so great for them both. Maybe you should think before you speak, little Ms. Dentist. That’s Dr. Baker to you. Dustin asks if Rebel’s gonna talk. She’s the better part of the duo, after all.
Britt cuts everyone off and says Dustin knows how to do a proper half face paint. But he’s a bit grumpy today, got that darkness in his heart. Is this the Dark Order bringing that out of him? OoOh~! Yes, tomorrow night, Dustin faces “Number 10” on Dynamite. But while Preston Vance is a big boy, Dustin’s just as big. There are issues with the Dark Order and the Nightmare Family. For five long decades, Dustin’s legacy has been intact. Dustin will go to the ends of the world to end the Dark Order, and that starts with Number 10! He better be listening! He better come strong! Dustin’s bringing it all! This “80 year old man” still has a lot left!
Well Britt will let Dustin go so he can make it for his bed time. And quick shout out to her former Wrestler of the Year boyfriend before our musical guest, Marko Stunt! Fun Size has a guitar and plays as he sings. “I’ve been down, I’ve been great,” he’s a little obsessed. “It’s all in my head, is what they said. I woke up dreaming in an empty bed.” Fans bring out lighters? That’s old school. Britt sings along as she jams out. “You don’t have creativity, is what they once were telling me, because they’d leave me no control. The empty space is killing me. The thought-corroded symphony. I know I’m losing all self-control.” Marko Stunt rocks the house! Get that on iTunes! And that’s all for the Waiting Room, good night!
The Dark Order’s Number 10 VS Aaron Solow!
Preston Vance has done well, but he still has a long way to go in the rankings. Will he move up after going against The Extra Talented?

Winner: “Number 10” Preston Vance, by pinfall
Some would call that an inverted Rainmaker, others might think of it as a reverse Seven Star Lariat. But whatever Vance will call it, it was a 10 outta 10 and it got the 1-2-3! Will Vance do that again and again until he helps the Dark Order get their hands on gold again?

Avalon has three in a row! He plays up how shocked he is, but was there any doubt? Well, maybe some. Avalon gets a mic and says, “Just like that! Three wins for the biggest man in pro-wrestling!” And in celebration, Avalon issues an open challenge! Not just any open challenge, no. Not anyone can apply. You can’t have bad skin, you can’t be overweight, and you must understand the study of beauty. This is “Pretty Peter’s Pageant Provocation!” PPA All Day! Will Avalon continue this streak and make it a month of Pretty Peter pinning and winning?

A shocker for Griff and Pillman! But they’re fired up going into an even bigger match with Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood! That’s right, Varsity Blondes take on FTR, will they not
Backstage interview with Dustin Rhodes.
The natural again speaks ot his match with Preston Vance. They’re both big boys, and there is seirous history with the Dark Order and Rhodes Family. Nothing has been forgotten. For five decades, Dustin has beat everyone from Timbuctu to Austin, Texas! Dustin again vows to go to the ends of the earth to destroy the Dark Order, and Number 10 just happens to be number one on his list! Tomorrow, Dustin VS Vance, who will be ready for this battle?
Backstage interview with the Varsity Blondes!
A big win for Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr, but they’re going right into a fight with FTR. Cabana and Reynolds were a tough challenge, Cash and Dax will be even tougher. Nothing they can’t handle! Take a look around the locker room, and what do you see? The best tag team division on the planet today! You might say the Blondes are young and inexperienced, but they make up for it in athletics and genetics. BPJ, Griff Garrison, the Varsity Blondes will take the ball and run with it! But will they score a touchdown on perhaps the roughest, toughest, and meanest team in AEW?
My Thoughts:
A good episode, but I do have to say something. AEW Dark making every episode 15, 16, 17 matches long and then with other segments added, this is just getting ridiculous. Can this all please be split up a bit better? Put some of this on as a Thursday show, then the rest on Tuesdays, so that what end up being two to almost three hour marathons are a pair of hour long shows. Call Thursday’s AEW Light to parallel/oppose Dark. Those who “get” why this show is called Dark will have a nice laugh, those who don’t still get a more manageable amount of filler wrestling to watch. Make AEW Light where the “fun” stuff happens, like the Waiting Room. At a certain point, make Dark the show where the rough stuff happens. Just do something so there’s even time to watch everything before other things are on.
By the way, Stunt really did rock, that was a great musical performance from him. Acclaimed continue to do very well, especially Caster’s rap promos on his way out. All the wins tonight made sense, as they always do on Dark. I will say Varsity Blondes winning surprised me, but it made a lot of sense given their match with FTR for Dynamite. And it accomplished two things: the AEW Tag Team Division does look strong since even “midcard” guys like Griff and BPJ can beat a group like The Dark Order; and it makes Dark actually unpredictable, which only helps the viewing potential. Yes, as I already hinted, I get the meaning of it being “Dark,” but since these are not truly dark matches because we’re seeing them, make them feel as important for the audience as they do in kayfabe for the wrestlers.
My Score: 8.1/10

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. Billie says “Cupcake” doesn’t need to defend her. Things are getting tense already, who wins their way into WrestleDynasty’s massive crossover match?

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?
AEW World Tag Team Championships Fatal 4 Way: Private Party VS The Outrunners VS The Kings of the Black Throne VS The Acclaimed!
Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy really only just got theses titles, and their first defense is the biggest match anyone could ask for! Will the party keep on going through tonight? Or will another team use these steep odds to their advantage?
Platinum Max of course has a diss track on deck! “Platinum Max on the mic, so bright, you gon’ get a tan. House of Black made my ears bleed with their shi**y band! Outrunners stain couch covers. I leave stains on your stout mothers! Private Party gonna go from haves to the have-nots. The only shots they take are back shots! I know you checkin’ the vibe because everybody loves the Best Wrestler Alive!” Bowens is confused by Caster’s change in catchphrase, and then Caster just throws the mic at him? Bowens has to pick it up and refocus. “NEWARK, NEW JERSEEEEY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor Me, Daddy Ass!” And Billy does~!
But with that, Private Party is last but certainly not least! Pyro goes off for the official start of Full Gear, and “Oh my God, is that Private Party?” Ladies line the ramp with glow sticks as Quen & Zay make their entrances, bringing back “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” as their theme! The introductions are made, the belts are raised, as is the difficulty level. Will Quen & Zay still be on top of the game with odds like this?
All the teams stare down, but Caster quietly backs off. However, in this kind of Fatal 4 Way, only two teams can be legal at a time. Quen steps up for the champs, and Malakai steps up for the House. They circle while the fans rally up, and they tie up. Malakai arm-drags to armlock, but Quen rolls back. Malakai hammerlocks but Quen sits down, rolls, and headscissors!

Zay tags in, runs up, he and Bowens block arm-drags! Then arm-drags cancle out! Bowens whips bu tZay arm-drags! Bowens mule kicks, front kicks, runs and FAMOUSERS! The fans fire up as “EVERYONE!

The ref and The Acclaimed have to sort that out, but the fans are on Bowens’ side! Billy tells them to focus, they spot Turbo and DOUBLE SUPERKICK! The Acclaimed argue about who should be legal, but Caster says just pin him! This is the loophole of this Fatal 4 Way! Bowens does cover Caster, but Quen SWANTON BOMBS it apart! Zay tags in off Caster, but Bowens catches him ot a cradle! TWO!! Zay rolls Bowens, TWO! Bowens ROLLING ELBOWS Zay!!
Bowens fires up, and he brings Zay around to whip. Zay reverses, Caster tags in! Bowens has the crucifix but the ref says he’s not legal! Bowens says Caster messed this up! Caster says just hit the finishers! But Zay kicks Bowens! Bowens powers out to clinch, THE ARRIVAL!! Caster is up but Turbo is after him! Caster ROCKS Turbo, but Turbo TOSSES Bowens!

Caster is beside himself, but he’s the reason his own team failed! And now, after such a massive defense, will we see that a Private Party party never stops?
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?
MJF VS Roderick Strong!
The Wolf of Wrestling tried to worm his way out of another situation by setting obstacles in front of his enemies. However, The Savior of the Backbreaker still made it through three matches to earn this opportunity and finally shutting MJF up. Will Roddy break MJF’s back and make him humble? Or will Maxwell Jacob Friedman prove he is still better than everyone else, and we know it?
The bell rings and MJF bails right out! The fans boo but MJF grabs a mic. MJF tells that the disgusting poors should keep their mouths shut! Roddy, you wanna know why the people like you? It’s not because you’re a good wrestler, it’s that you’re just like them: WHITE TRASH! Oh, sorry, did MJF insult the dumpster fire of the world? Hey, wanna know what’s really great? When MJF is out of this crap company and no longer wrestling in front of these fat losers, he’s out there making millions shooting movies! Meanwhile, Roddy’s mama is shooting his daddy!

The ref reprimands, MJF lets go at 4, and he refreshes the ring count. MJF then wrenches the bad hand, tucks it into Roddy’s tights, and then gut wrenches to APRON POWERBOMB! Roddy falls to the floor and MJF smirks as he leaves Roddy behind.
The fans boo but MJF goes back to put Roddy in the ring. MJF storms in, he drags Roddy around, and MJF stands on Roddy’s hand. “You’re a bum! Not a single effin’ person in here cares about you!” MJF stomps Roddy’s hand, then he tells the fans to shut up. MJF reels Roddy in, but Roddy wrenches out to CHOP! CHOP! MJF dodges but Roddy CHOPS again! MJF BITES the bad hand! MJF then WRINGS Roddy into the corner! MJF soaks up heat while mockingly checking his “watch.” MJF says this is too easy, then he goes back for the bad hand. Roddy endures, fights around, but MJF wrangles him to the mat.

Roddy whips but MJF YANKS the bad arm! MJF runs up, but Roddy BOOTS! ENZIGIRIS! And HALF NELSON- NO, MJF wrenches out to have the bad hand. Roddy slips around, and he HALF NELSON BACKBREAKERS after all! Both men are down and the fans fire up. Fans actually duel, seems New Jersey likes a devil like MJF. But Roddy CHOPS first! And ELBOWS MJF, then CALF KICKS! Roddy keeps moving and he LARIATS MJF down!
The fans fire up as Roddy fires elbow after elbow, then he torture racks! MJF reaches out, but Roddy REVERSE LAWN DARTS! JUMP KNEE! ANGLE SLAM! Cover, TWO! MJF survives but Roddy huffs ‘n’ puffs. The fans rally, Roddy hauls MJF up, but MJF wrenches and WRINGS the bad arm! Both men are down and the fans rally again. Roddy and MJF go to opposite ends, and Roddy is on the apron. MJF storms up, reels Roddy in, but Roddy stops the Heatseeker! MJF runs back in but Roddy TOSSES him! Roddy then WRECKS MJF with a dropkick! Roddy hurries out and he whips MJF into railing! And then he CHOPS!
Roddy lifts MJF up to RAILING BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up with Roddy and he drags MJF up. Roddy puts MJF into the ring, aims from a corner, and he runs up to SICK- NO, MJF dodges! Roddy tumbles, he hurries after MJF, but MJF pops him up to MULE KICK! MJF goes up, mocks Adam Cole, but Roddy YANKS him down for a BACKBREAKER! Both men are down again and the fans fire up! Roddy crawls to MJF, covers, TWO! MJF stays in this and the fans rally up again. Roddy rises and he brings MJF up. Roddy reels MJF in but MJF wrenches to go after the arm!

Roddy then trips MJF, has the legs, and has the TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! The fans fire up while MJF endures and crawls around. Roddy drags MJF from the ropes! But Roddy’s bad hand can’t hold on!
MJF is free and he rises up, but Roddy storms over. MJF DECKS Roddy with a fast hand! MJF drags Roddy up again, suplexes, but his back won’t let him finish that! MJF runs up, now Roddy DECKS MJF!

END OF HEARTACHE!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!! MJF survives by a literal foot! Roddy is beside himself but the fans rally up again. Roddy hobbles to ropes, MJF sits up, and Roddy runs back in! But MJF bails out!
The fans boo but Roddy pursues. Roddy drags MJF up off the ground, puts him in the ring, and he hurries to suplex again. MJF cradle counters! TWO, Roddy has the cover, TWO!

The ref checks both men, they’re okay to continue, and Roddy crawls to a cover. TWO, and MJF has the FUJIWARA ARMBAR!
MJF THRASHES the arm, RODDY TAPS!! MJF WINS!!!
Winner: MJF, by submission
MJF grins, and he’ll surely play this off as another “easy dub.” But then MJF decides he isn’t done, and he grabs a chair! MJF grins as he storms back into the ring, and he threatens the ref! The ref backs off, and MJF puts the arm around Roddy’s arm! The fans boo as MJF stands on the steel! MJF runs to STOMP the chair!!! Roddy writhes, but ADAM COLE is here! Cole runs in but MJF runs away! The Undisputed Kingdom is also here, Taven & Bennett check on Roddy’s arm while Cole glares at MJF. Cole vows he will get MJF, that SOB! Kyle O’Reilly rushes out here, too, and he gets mad at Cole!
Kyle says this is what he was talking with Cole about on Wednesday! Kyle didn’t want this obsession to hurt someone else, and it has! Kyle helps Roddy away to the back, but does he have a point? Should Cole have stopped this before it began? Or will Cole make sure it ends with him and MJF?
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Kris Statlander!
The CEO is still NJPW Strong Women’s Champion on top of AEW TBS Champion, but the walls might be closing in. Mone knows she has Strong Style Evolved in a few weeks, but is she taking the Galaxy’s Greatest too easy? Or will the #BornAgainKristen once again be The Face of TBS?

The AEW Women’s World Champion and the Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Champion are victorious together, just like they wanted! Will they toast this victory and all others tomorrow night? Or will someone look to ruin their Full Gear fun?
Rampage returns and…
Lexy Nair welcomes us back, while also welcoming us to the official Full Gear Zero Hour weigh-in. Please welcome first, QT Marshall! The fans boo as QT makes his return to AEW TV, and he shows off the “DOOM” logo on his track jacket. QT steps into the ring and now Lexy welcomes out Big Justice and Big Boom AJ! 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?
The bell rings and Juice ties up with Butcher. They’re in a deadlock and quickly go to the mat. They also quickly get back up, and Juice powers Butcher to a corner. The ref counts, they go along ropes, in a corner, then along more ropes. Butcher has Juice on the ropes but he lets off with a scuffing forearm. Juice has wild eyes to go with his wild hair, and he shoots in to headlock. Butcher powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, and Butcher doesn’t budge. Butcher eggs Juice on, but Juice grins.

The fans fire up while Butcher stalks Juice to a corner. Butcher stands Juice up to CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and then Butcher climbs up. Butcher says count along, but then Juice sips out before he even starts! Juice trips Butcher up, then climbs, and now fans get to count! Juice rains down fists all the way to nine, then winds up, to BITE Butcher for ten! But then Butcher DUMPS Juice to the floor! Butcher storms out after Juice to RAILING BACK SUPLEX!

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!

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?
The trios sort out and Mark starts against Silver. The two shake hands, and the fans cheer on “Johnny Hungy!” Silver and Mark tie up, go around, and Silver headlocks.

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
