Will Kingston and his henchmen continue to wreak havoc on AEW?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Okay, let me see if I’ve got this right. The Young Bucks are the tag team champions, and they’re friends with Kenny, but Kenny’s friends with The Goody Brothers, and they’re the tag team champions, too. So now they’re all friends? They’re all one big happy family? How is that going to work? Is that going to work?” No it’s not. The Elite is like The Young & The Restless. And then there’s Death Triangle, PAC & The Lucha Brothers, who don’t like any part of The Elite. They don’t even like Moxley, because they used to be friends with Kingston who has beef with Mox. But now Moxley has to team with them at Beach Break?
Moxley is a simple guy. Cold beer, hot coffee, room temperature water and sex in the morning because it’s a great way to start the day. The only person you can trust is number one, so he only trusts his two hands. But Moxley loves Six Man Tags, so saddle up, compadres. This’ll be fun! Gang warfare! Moxley doesn’t know what happens at Beach Break, but it’ll be wild~! Incendiary ingredients on Dynamite, don’t blink or you’ll miss it.
Sting and Darby Allin speak.
The Icon says they’ll get on a first name basis right now. Taz, Brian, Ricky, since they’ll be in that Street Fight at Revolution, and since Team Taz loves to throw out false accusations, Sting will say their feelings are hurt. They called these two hoodlums? Really? Darby is a bit of a hoodlum, yes, but in the streets, it doesn’t matter if you play it clean or dirty. It’s all about survival! Darby chucks his skateboard through a window, and admits he is a hoodlum, no different from Sting. Sting uses the baseball bat to smash up the rest of the window! Sting admits it, too. Revolution, Street Fight, showtime.
Y2MJF w/ The Inner Circle VS The Varsity Blondes!
There’s a lot of history to this match, even before things in AEW. But Chris Jericho won’t hold back on Brian Pillman Jr. over it, and he expects nothing less from Pillman Jr. in return. But will that mean the first 2v2 outing of Le Demo God and the Salt of the Earth won’t be a success?
Jericho revels in the fans singing Judas for him, the teams sort out, and MJF wants to speak first. MJF wants to talk with Sammy Guevara later, and then he says is that Griff? Look at Goldilocks here. Last time they met, MJF embarrassed Griff on live television. So let’s just skip ahead to where Griff loses, okay? NOPE! Griff DECKS MJF, keeps him in the ring, then rains down more fists! MJF scrambles away, Wardlow keeps him away from Griff, but Griff gets around to get back in. MJF dodges but Griff BOOTS him down! The Inner Circle gets MJF to safety and MJF gets a chair out of frustration. The Inner Circle keeps MJF from throwing this match and MJF says Griff is dead!
MJF gets back in the ring, talks trash, then tags out to Jericho. Jericho run sin but into a drop toehold!

Fans fire up as BPJ whips, Jericho reveres and MJF gets a cheap shot in! Jericho DECKS BPJ then tags in MJF!
AEW goes picture in picture as MJF CLAWS BPJ and tells Griff up his! MJF digs his fingers into BPJ’s face but lets off as the ref reprimands. MJF stalks BPJ, throws punches down on him, then soaks up the heat from fans. MJF feeds BPJ to Jericho’s boot, then CHOPS him! Tag to Jericho, Jericho throws hands, then tags MJF back in. Y2MJF double whip, and double flapjack BPJ down! MJF steps on BPJ, then so does Jericho. The Inner Circle soaks up the heat, MJF drags BPJ up to CLUB him down. MJF kicks at Griff but scrambles away before he can get hit. MJF chokes BPJ, covers, TWO! MJF rakes BPJ’s eyes, rakes his face on the ropes, then headbutts him!
Tag to Jericho, MJF digs his boots into BPJ as Jericho gets in Griff’s face, then Griff goes back to stomp and bump BPJ off buckles. Jericho hoists BPJ up top, CHOPS him, then climbs up to join him. BPJ throws hands back but Jericho clubs him. Jericho stands up on the very top, but BPJ GOURD BUSTERS him! BPJ gets up, leaps, and hits a crossbody! Cover, TWO! Fans rally while both men are down and AEW returns to single picture. Hot tags to Griff and MJF! The Ivy League MVP rallies on Y2MJF but MJF kicks low! MJF runs into Griff’s HUGE back drop! Griff wrenches and ROCKS Jericho!
Fans fire up as Griff goes corner to corner, BIG splash to MJF! Whip to the corner, SPLASH for both Y2MJF! DOUBLE SPEAR!! Cover, TWO!! MJF survives but Griff just fires up as he drags MJF up.

Jericho whips then runs but BPJ dumps Jericho to the apron! BPJ runs and dropkicks Jericho down!
Fans fire up with BPJ as he fetches Jericho into the ring. BPJ aims from a corner, springboards and leaps, into a JUDAS EFFECT!! LIONSAULT!! Cover, someone took out Griff, Y2MJF win!!
Winners: Y2MJF, by pinfall
MJF adds insult to injury as he throws BPJ out just so he can stand with Jericho. The Inner Circle’s “official” team in the tag division is off to a strong start, will they go all the way to the top and take the AEW World Tag Team Championships for their own?
PAC speaks.
“Here we go again!” Kenny Omega is taking liberties, acting like ‘Billy Big Bollocks,” acting like he owns the place and owns this business. He has the “clown” Callis and the Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions, while manipulating some and blindsiding others. SO at Beach Break, bring the Good Brothers, because Pac and Rey Fenix will show you what brotherhood is! You hit them, they hit you back! Time to face the consequences!
AEW shares Shaq’s message from the AEW Dynamite Awards on TNT.
“Cody Rhodes, you little punk. You want to battle, you just name the time and the day. I’ll be there.” Cody looks like a little girl with that blonde hair. Shaq suggests we do this in March, aka Revolution. What will Cody say?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
To respond to Shaq’s comments right now, here’s Cody Rhodes! The American Nightmare goes to the ring, along with Coach Arn Anderson. Schiavone knows they want to respond to Shaq, but also to Jade Cargill from The Waiting Room. Cody says to respond to Shaq and Jade, he’d rather just give us the “pitch.” He’d like to say March 7th, AEW Revolution, it’d be himself and Brandi Rhodes VS Shaq & Jade, but life happens. He and Brandi are having a baby. “In these moments where I am rather confused and distracted,” Cody defers to The Coach!
And if we’re wondering how much of a coach Arn is, Arn chewed Cody out for taking Peter Avalon too easily last week. Arn has been right consistently for years, they talked with Tony Khan about where Cody fits on the Revolution card, so the floor is Arn’s. Arn says he wants to earn his money because he might contradict himself, so please be patient. But the fact is, Cody’s about to be a dad. That is right on the forefront of his mind, as it should be. That is the most important thing in his life.
But think about this: June 29th, 1985. What date is that to Cody? That was when Arn saw Dusty Rhodes crawl in the ring with Tully Blanchard, fight 30 minutes, then fly home in time to see the birth of Baby Cody. Now if Cody chooses March 7th, to jump in the Revolution, do it with eyes wide open, no regrets. But Arn will point out the obvious: there is a lot of time between the birthdate and the show. Doesn’t Cody want to be part of something? It’s hard to capture the public eye but he could do that with this match.
For 19 years, Shaq dominated the court as a world-class athlete. Jade, every time she walks in, she dominates that room. But the fact is, Arn’s seen something these last two weeks, something that can’t be measured or even rational to name. Arn wants Cody to see something. In steps RED VELVET! Velvet has had her own problems with Jade Cargill, and Arn hopes Cody sees the fire inside Velvet like what Cody has in him. Velvet gets the mic to stare down the camera and say she’s here because she is FED UP of getting attacked, watching Brandi get disrespected by a “big mouth coward” who knows Brandi can’t defend herself.
Everyone knows Cody would never lay a hand on a woman. But Velvet will! Velvet is about to stir that bitch-ass up! Fans like the sound of that! Arn says that’s what he meant! Then perhaps Jade and Shaq have the ball in their court! Are we still getting a huge mixed tag match for Revolution?
AEW issues the official invite to the Superbad Beach Break wedding!
Kip Sabian says “my heart is in my hands My head is in the clouds. My feet have left the ground. And my life, our life, is turning around.” Penelope Ford is so excited to marry this handsome man, the man of her dreams, the best kisser. So they cordially invite us to watch their wedding, with Miro as The Best Man, and of course “Charles” Taylor the butler will be there! Surely a wedding on a wrestling program will go smoothly, right?
Hangman Page VS Ryan Nemeth!
The Cowboy takes on the debuting “Hollywood Hunk” as Hangman tries to shake off the awkward situation where he had to reject The Dark Order’s recruitment proposal. Will he be able to focus against this hungry and determined wrestler?
The bell rings, fans rally for Hangman but Nemeth shoots in to get a leg. Hangman gets the rope but Nemeth says he got a point like this is collegiate wrestling. They tie up again, Hangman wrenches to a wristlock but Nemeth gets around to hammerlock then headlock, two points! Hangman powers out, Nemeth bumps him but Hangman runs him over! Things speed up, Hangman fakes Nemeth out and BOOTS him down! Hangman CHOPS Nemeth to the corner, CHOPS him again, then chops but Nemeth dodges to CHOP and CHOP in return! Nemeth swaggers about but Hangman DECKS him!
Hangman stalks Nemeth to a corner, stomps a mudhole into him then walks it dry as the ref counts. Hangman drags Nemeth up to throw him to the apron, and then TRIANGLE LARIATS him to the floor! Nemeth gets up but Hangman PLANCHAS! Direct hit and fans fire up! Hangman drags Nemeth up, puts him back in, then fires the fans up as he runs in corner to corner. Nemeth dodges to dropkick Hangman down! Cover, ONE! Nemeth wrenches and WRINGS the arm out, and now Big Money Matt Hardy is ringside? Is he scouting? Nemeth hammerlocks an arm, headstands to put pressure on the hold, then grabs at hair. The ref reprimands and Nemeth lets go.
Hangman gets up to CHOP and forearm but Nemeth knees low! Nemeth whips but Hangman holds ropes. Nemeth kicks, whips but Hangman reverses, only for Nemeth to turn it around into a Rude Awakening! Cover, TWO! Hangman forearms but Nemeth hits back. Nemeth whips corner to corner but Hangman comes back to CLOBBER him! Hangman whips, Nemeth dodges but Hangman hits a SPINEBUSTER!

Hangman gets to a corner, Nemeth runs in but Hangman elbows him back! Nemeth runs into a boot, but he ducks a lariat to GERMAN SUPLEX! Hangman lands on his feet, ROLLING ELBOW! Hangman whips Nemeth to LARIAT! Then Hangman goes to the apron, takes aim, and slingshots, BUCK SHOT!! Cover, Hangman wins!
Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall
Hardy applauds then goes up to the ramp. Hangman sees Hardy turn to leave but invites him into the ring. Tony Schiavone hurries over to see what this is about. Hardy didn’t want to create a scene, but the reason he came out was to be in Hangman’s corner and let him know he supports Hangman. Hardy has been a bit concerned, Hangman seems lost and conflicted. That’s understandable. Hardy was part of Stadium Stampede, he knows that Hangman got burned by The Elite and he didn’t deserve it. The Dark Order wants Hangman to join and that’s just awkward.
Hardy doesn’t want anything from Hangman, just to let him know that Hangman is a good person who deserves to be happy. Hardy needed to say that and Hangman needed to hear it. Hangman is dressing alone in the hallway near catering. Hardy has a huge dressing room with plenty of space. Hangman is more than welcome to join him there, no strings attached. Hardy lets Hangman think that over, what will Hangman’s answer be?
Jungle Boy w/ Jurassic Express VS Dax Harwood w/ Cash Wheeler & Tully Blanchard!
Though Marko Stunt, Luchasaurus and the rest of FTR are all ringside, things will be a little different than usual. To make sure Cash and Tully don’t interfere, they will be handcuffed not just to each other, but to Luchasaurus! Will the wrestling dinosaur be able to keep things fair and square?
First, the ref and security help cuff Cash and Tully to Luchasaurus per the agreement. Then they all take a seat, though Luchasaurus has to make Cash sit. The bell rings and JB stares down with Dax.

“So Sting, Darby, being that we’re on a first name basis and all, Ricky and Brian are ready to destroy you come Revolution.” But Will Hobbs and Hook notice something going on, and say hey to the merchandise guys. Wait, they have the Darby gear and Sting gear, but where are the Team Taz merchandise? They weren’t given any of that. Oh is that so? Hook and Hobbs start throwing hands! And then they start throwing the staff around! Cage and Starks get in on that too, and they tear down the Sting and Darby merch to tear it up!
“You want to disrespect us?! We ain’t done!” Cage TOSSES one of the guys against the truck! And Starks SLAMS another through the table! “First name basis, huh, brother? Ricky Starks and Brian Cage are gonna BEAT YOUR ASS in that Street Fight!”
Britt Baker w/ Rebel VS Shanna!
The Role Model is making sure she’s sharp for the grudge match with Thunder Rosa she never wanted. But Portugal’s Perfect Athlete has been slowly but surely powering up on AEW Dark! Will Shanna show that hosting The Waiting Room isn’t a replacement for getting in the ring?

Will Rosa’s wrath break Britt once and for all?
MJF finds Sammy Guevara backstage.
He just wants a moment, and says he did NOT tell Wardlow to get involved in last week’s Triple Threat Tag. Wardlow is literally the worst employee MJF has ever had, he docked Wardlow’s pay. No money for War Dog, and MJF promises that it’ll never happen again. Sammy asks if MJF is done. Does MJF think Sammy is stupid? Sammy sees what’s going on, even though MJF has everyone else fooled. Congratulations, though, on being a great manipulator. One of the best, really. Round of applause! Hats off to MJF. But Sammy sees what MJF is up to. Is that so? Yes, it is.
MJF asks Sammy if he really wants to play it this way. Sammy isn’t playing. The two stare down, but MJF backs away. Will the differences between these two be what tears The Inner Circle apart?
AEW sets the field for the Beach Break Tag Team Battle Royal!
Top Flight, Private Party, Jurassic Express, FTR, The Acclaimed, The Dark Order’s Evil Uno & Stu Grayson, and ALL THREE duos within The Inner Circle, are in the match for a shot at the titles at Revolution! But surprisingly, so are The Young Bucks! That means if Matt & Nick Jackson win, they choose who they face at the PPV! Will the Bucks take their fate into their own hands?
AEW also sets some of the Women’s World Championship Eliminator Tournament First Round matches!
NWA Women’s World Champion, Serena Deeb, takes on the returning and inaugural AEW Women’s Champion, Riho! What a powerful first match in a surely star-studded bracket! Who else from both the United States and Japan will be competing for a shot at Hikaru Shida?
Backstage interview with “The Elite!”
Dasha knows it has been five YEARS since these four have been in a ring together, how are they feeling? Karl Anderson says for the first time in those five years, it is a “full blown Bullet Club Party!” Tonight, they take out the Dark Order and what else? #BigLG says if we’re gonna Biz Cliz, then they gotta Biz Cliz softly! Gyrate! Then next week at Beach Break, they BEAT UP REY FENIX! BEAT UP PAC! And their favorite thing ever, BEAT UP JON MOXLEY! So pumped up! Are the Bucks down? Oh yeah, just as pumped, just as jazzed, but uh… Just as long as “that mark stooge, Creepy Uncle Don” doesn’t get involved.
Whoa, c’mon, now, Young Bizzles, you gotta understand. Relax about Donaconda. Last week, they and Kenny took out Pentagon for them! That was all Don’s idea. Well no one asked you guys to do that! But now Kenny Omega himself walks in, and he high fives the Good Brothers. Is he interrupting something? Sorta. Well maybe they need to talk about something later. Callis comes by with a BIG bandage on his face! What is that? Hey, we all know the Bucks assaulted him- No they did not! Take that off! Omega gets the Bucks to leave Callis alone and the music hits, it’s time for the main event!
8 Man Tag: The Young Bucks & The Good Brothers VS The Dark Order!
The AEW World and Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions are joining forces, but it’s not exactly a happy reunion of The Bullet Club. A lot of the tension and drama comes from the fact Don Callis is in Kenny Omega’s ear and trying to direct his life. Will Matt & Nick be able to work with Gallows & Anderson against Uno, Stu, Reynolds & Silver?
The teams sort out, and Uno starts against Machine Gun. They tie up, go around, Anderson wrenches to a wristlock but Uno slips through to headlock. Anderson powers out, but Uno runs him over! Uno brushes off, things speed up and Anderson leaps into an atomic drop! Roll up, TWO!! Anderson gets away but Uno stomps a hand! Uno bends fingers, wrenches the wrist then tags in Silver! Anderson gets away but Number 4 calls out the big man! Johnny Hungy for some Doc Gallows and Gallows tags in! Gallows laughs at Silver, and calls for a test of strength just out of reach. Silver gets face to… well, chest, with Gallows, but Gallows kneels to be on Silver’s level! Sliver fires off forearms!
Silver fires up, runs but Anderson gets a cheap shot in! And then blames it on Nick! Silver DECKS Nick, Gallows ROCKS Silver! Gallows tags in Matt, they mug Silver, then Matt throws haymakers. Matt rakes Silver’s back, whips him to ropes but Silver holds ropes! Reynolds tags in, they bait Matt in to shoulder and slingshot sunset flip! Matt slips out, Reynolds runs and flying elbows! And then dropkicks! Reynolds kicks up and fans fire up as he goes after Matt with forearms! Reynolds whips, Nick tags in and Matt slides under to whip back, Double hip toss and handspring dropkicks from Bucks to Reynolds! Then double dropkicks for Uno!
Nick SHINING WIZARDS Reynolds, BULLDOG DROPKICK COMBO! Nick drags Reynolds up, whips him to a corner, then tags in Anderson. Anderson tags in Gallows, the Club blasts the Dark Order, then Nick whips Matt to forearm Reynolds! Nick adds a clothesline, Anderson adds the rocket kick, then Gallows corner splashes! Back suplex to the ALLEY OOP and the neckbreaker! It’s just like old times as they all Too Sweet! Gallows drags Reynolds to the corner, tags Matt in and Matt brings Reynolds up. Reynolds fires off hands in return, runs, but Anderson trips him up! Matt runs but Uno trips him up! It’s all fair isn’t it?
Reynolds scrambles, Nick gets his legs but Reynolds kicks him away! Tag to Stu and he springboard crossbodies! Stu dropkicks Gallows’ legs out, dodges Matt and dropkicks again! Nick gets in, misses, and Stu counters superkick to a leg hook and HALF ‘N’ HALF! Anderson gets in to hit Stu and throws him out but Stu ROCKS him back! Stu springboards to dropkick Gallows! Anderson runs into an URENAGE! Stu keeps moving as he goes to a corner and climbs up! FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Anderson survives but Stu drags Anderson up to the corner. Tag to Uno as AEW goes picture in picture.
Uno and Stu get Anderson up but Gallows distracts! The ref also says he didn’t see Uno tag in so he’s not legal! Anderson shoves Stu into Gallows’ fireman’s carry and FLAPJACK! Gallows exits as Anderson covers, TWO! Anderson keeps Stu down, tags in Nick and Nick stomps Stu. Nick drags Stu up, snapmares him then tags in Mat. Fist drop and senton combo! Matt brings Stu up, snap suplexes him, then covers, TWO! Matt keeps on Stu with a chinlock and grinds him down. Stu endures, fights up and throws body shots, but Matt bumps him off buckles! Tag to Gallows and Gallows throws heavy hands from all sides!
Tag to Nick, Gallows and Nick mug Stu, and Nick DECKS Stu with a right! Nick clamps on with a facelock and he grinds Stu down. Stu endures, fights back up, throws body shots, but Nick clubs him! Nick whips, but Stu catches Nick to a fireman’s carry, and SWINGING FACEBUSTER! The Bullet Club gets in to BLAST the Dark Order corner again, stranding Stu! Matt and the Good Brothers mug Uno and the Beaver Boys, then they all set up by the apron! But Uno, Reynolds and Silver slip out of the triple apron bombs to RAM all three men into railing!
AEW returns to single picture as Nick snapmares Stu and runs, only for Stu to duck the Penalty Kick! Kip up and PELE! Stu crawls, hot tag to Silver! Silver rallies on Nick with big clotheslines! Silver whips, back drops Nick and fires up! Nick hobbles around, Silver whips him again but Nick holds ropes. Silver runs in, Nick puts him on the apron but Silver sees him go up the corner and GAMANGIRIS him down! Silver then CANNONBALLS into Anderson, BLASTS Gallows and BOOTS Matt!! Silver gets in but Nick catches him for a backslide. Silver slips out to fire off kicks and then a BRAIN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Nick survives but fans say “This is Awesome!”
Tag to Uno, he brings Nick up to a fireman’s carry but Nick slips out! Uno blocks the kick, hands it to the ref and hits a neckbreaker! Uno hurries up top now, and SWANTON FLOPS! Tag to Matt, he shoulders into Uno then slides under. Matt gets around Stu, and gets both the OG for a NORTHERN LIGHTS! The Beaver Boys attack, whip but Matt dodges to DOUBLE LARIAT! Matt is fired up now and he runs to clothesline Silver! Then one for Reynolds! One for Silver but he dodges to KICK! ROLLING ELBOW, ENZIGURI, STUNNER, GERMAN! The Beaver Blitz! Uno and Stu hit FATALITY!! Cover, but Anderson breaks it!!
Good Brothers brawl with Beaver Boys and throw them out, then Uno tags Stu! Nick SUPERKICKS Uno then SUPERKICKS Stu! Nick builds speed as the Dark Order regroups, for the ESCALARA! Nick brings Stu up, Anderson has Reynolds, DOUBLE APRON BOMB! No wait, TRIPLE because Gallows does the same to Silver! They put Stu in, Bucks and Good Brothers line up the shot, “TOO SWEET!” QUADRUPLE SUPERKICK!! Cover, but Uno breaks it!! Uno saves the match but Gallows ROCKS him! MAGIC KILLER! The Bucks have Stu, gut wrench and springboard, MELZTER DRIVER!! Cover, the Elite wins!
Winners: The Young Bucks & The Good Brothers, by pinfall
Whether you like it or not, the Bullet Club boys took down The Dark Order as a unified unit! And Matt gets the mic to say that next week at Beach Break, whoever wins the Tag Team Battle Royal gets a shot at the AEW World Tag titles at Revolution! But if you haven’t heard, the Bucks are in that match, too! That means if they win, they handpick whoever they want to face! And think about it. It could be anyone. They look at the Good Brothers, and the Good Brothers Too Sweet that idea! But then REY FENIX gets in and springboards to missile dropkick the Bucks!
The Good Brothers attack Fenix and drag him up, but Fenix fights out of Magic Killer! And Moxley is here to CLOBBER Gallows! Fenix FLIES to take Anderson out! And some railing, too! But Omega rushes in to go after Moxley, only to get a kick and the PARADIGM SHIFT!! The Elite were standing tall, but the Maniac and the Firebird fired the first shots! Will they and Pac avenge Penta El Zero M on the road to Revolution?
My Thoughts:
A great episode that was both go-home to Beach Break but also a step towards Revolution in March. Archer VS Kingston was good but one-sided until The Fam came out with Jake the Snake as their hostage. Kingston wins to extend the feud, I have a feeling the blow-off, in whatever form it takes, will be for Revolution. While Death Triangle is focused on The Elite, I think they can easily circle back to The Fam for the PPV and have something really wild. Sting and Darby had a decent promo, Team Taz had a decent promo in response, but the build just hasn’t felt that exciting for what it’s setting up. I hope the Street Fight is really, really good to make up for some of that.
Y2MJF VS Varsity Blondes was a lot of fun, and there was a lot of energy with The Inner Circle all ringside to have their parts to play. Naturally Y2MJF wins, they can’t lose their first time in a 2v2. Though it is an interesting move for AEW to put all the combinations, from Y2MJF to Sammy-Hager to Santana-Ortiz in the battle royal. I suppose AEW as a company doesn’t have to follow the Inner Circle’s self-imposed edict, but that perhaps means the Inner Circle all work together until the end, where in theory, MJF and Jericho would want the other two teams to bow out and eliminate themselves. The tension between MJF and Sammy will surely keep that from happening, so maybe we get the Inner Circle break-up already.
It makes a lot of sense for Red Velvet to take Brandi’s place in what was obviously going to be the mixed tag of the Nightmare Family VS Shaq & Jade. Velvet was tied into the story with Brandi, Jade and the Vicious Vixens, so this is a very good adjustment. Hangman VS Nemeth was good but a bit of a shame that it was really just the vehicle towards a story of Hardy and Hangman. I wonder if Private Party will have a part to play in this, such as warning Hangman about the ridiculous manager contracts Hardy put on them. And I would think The Dark Order also plays a part in that story since they still want Hangman for them, and maybe by Revolution, we learn who Hangman joins.
Jungle Boy VS Dax Harwood was an incredible match! Might have even been match of the night because of how close it was. There was great character work and story with Luchasaurus going back and forth with Cash and Tully, and great everything with JB and Dax in the ring. JB winning is big, but then FTR takes Luchasaurus’ horns to stand tall in their own way. With the battle royal determining Revolution challengers, there’s still a lot of story for Jurassic Express and FTR to have, and maybe the blow-off winners get their shot at say Fyter Fest or maybe Double or Nothing.
Britt VS Shanna was a good match, but of course Britt as a Heel needs Rebel to help her. That does help keep Shanna strong in a way, but Britt goes in with the momentum against Rosa. Rebel is probably how Britt wins against Rosa, too, and that could get Britt a spot in the Women’s Championship Eliminator Tournament. Serena Deeb VS Riho being announced as a first round match up is great, but that honestly feels like it should’ve been a later round match. At the same time, Serena has her own title to fall back on, so it’s probably just the best possible way to get eyes on this tournament and to get Riho back into things in AEW.
We got a lot of great stuff out of the story with Omega and The Elite. Moxley had a good promo, Pac had a really good promo, and the promo before the main event was great. Callis is definitely faking or at least exaggerating what happened with him and the Bucks just to get Omega to turn against them. And so far, Bucks and Good Brothers being on good terms is the right move to me. The issue is with Callis, not them, but perhaps when push comes to shove, Gallows & Anderson take Callis’ side.
At the same time, I like that the Bucks already teased a match with Good Brothers for tag titles, that’s a good tease for Revolution. Moxley and Fenix going after The Elite to stand tall probably means Omega and Good Brothers stand tall at Beach Break to further the Bullet Club Civil War between AEW and Impact, but I wonder if any other former Club members get involved. Will Hangman have a change of heart and rejoin The Elite? Will Cody at least be asked? Will someone from Bullet Club NJPW show up in AEW to also establish that crossover? The various possibilities are all really fun so hopefully we get that going into the Summer.
My Score: 9.3/10

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 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.

Mortos is tougher than that, but Mistico keeps focus. Mistico rallies the fans again, goes to ropes, and he runs back up to tilt-o-whirl! But Mortos SLAMS him down! Cover, TWO! Mortos drags Mistico up to whip, but Mistico ducks ‘n’ dodges, rolls and SUNSET BOMBS! Cover, TWO!! Mortos survives and the fans rally up again! Mistico feeds off that energy and rises up.

Mistico runs, tilt-o-whirls, and RANAS again! The fans fire up as Mistico rises again. Mortos stands, takes a swing, but Mistico dodges to SMACK Mortso! Mortos and Mistico trade forearms! The fans rally, Mistico points to the heavens as he SOBATS, KICKS, and SUPERKICKS! Mistico runs, but Mortos blows past him! Mistico dodge the lariat to ROLLING DDT! Both men are down and the fans fire up!
The fans chant for “LUCHA! LUCHA!” as Mistico rises. Mortos is in the drop zone so Mistico goes up. The fans rally as he climbs, MOONSULT but into BOOTS! Mortos runs in, but into an OVERHEAD SUPLEX into buckles! Both men are down again and the fans fire back up! Mistico runs and tilt-o-whirls, LA MYSTICA!! Mortos TAPS to the armbar, Mistico wins!
Winner: Mistico, by submission
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?

Backstage interview with Big Boom AJ.
Lexy Nair is with the returning internet darling, and knows that he vowed to wrestle at All In. He called out the entire Don Callis Family on social media, and he’s doing it again live on Collision! Callis may have a family, but so does Big Boom AJ! Big Justice & The Rizzler, come here! The Sons of Big Boom step in, but Lexy has to point out, they’re just kids. Doesn’t AJ need adult teammates? Big Justice agrees! They need an assortment! A collection! No, wait, A CONGLOMERATION! And in step Tomohiro Ishii & Hologram! They shake hands and are ready to go! 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…
AJ says there it is! Bring the whole family to All In! Cuz AJ is bringing his, and they’re bringing the B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-BOOM! That catchphrase sucks!! They all argue, but the point is clear, this could be quite the Zero Hour showdown! Will it be BOOM or DOOM in Globe Life Field?
FTR speaks.
Stokely, Cash & Dax regroup backstage, and Stoke says he has made a lot of mistakes in his career. The biggest one was trusting Christian Cage! But they’ll get to that later. Outrunners sure think they got one over on FTR! They probably think they’re the greatest tag team alive today! That is a lie! Zero Hour, they will settle the score once and for all! As far as the tag titles, FTR will be there and whatever happens happens. #TopGuysOut. Will there be no stopping these three from being the ones again?
Katsuyori Shibata VS Gabe Kidd!
It is a battle of teacher and student as The Wrestler takes on one of the meanest and most dangerous graduates from the LA Dojo who has been wanting this showdown for the better part of a year. But will the Mad Man prove he is #WarReady for anything? Or will Shibata prove there is still a lot left for Gabe to learn?
The moment Gabe is in the ring, he rushes Shibata! Shibata is ready with a BOOT! The bell rings, the forearms fly, and the fans fire up! Shibata fires a flurry, then UPPERCUTS! Gabe wobbles, but he BITES Shibata’s forehead! The ref counts, Gabe stops to whip corner to corner, and he runs up to LARIAT! The fans are torn but Gabe runs, only for Shibata to BOOT again! Shibata fires off forearms in the corner, he sits Gabe down, but Gabe bails out before Shibata can go corner to corner. The student knows his sensei’s moves well, but Shibata pursues! They go around the outside, and then Gabe CLOBBERS Shibata!
The fans are torn but Marina is ringside to nod approval. Gabe sits Shibata up, the fans chant “You Suck!” Gabe mockingly asks, “What now, coach?” Gabe puts Shibata in, soaks up some heat, but Shibata BOOTS him right down! The fans fire up as Shibata brushes himself off. Shibata goes out to fetch Gabe, then whips him hard into barriers! Shibata runs up and BOOTS Gabe down! The fans fire up for Shibata and he brings Gabe up. Gabe is a ragdoll so Shibata stomps him! Shibata puts Gabe in, stomps him around, but Gabe CLAWS Shibata’s eyes! The ref counts, Gabe fires forearms, but Gabe stops as the ref counts again.
Gabe huffs ‘n’ puffs and runs corner to corner, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Gabe uses Shibata’s own move, then sits cross-legged to mock him more! The fans boo but Gabe seethes while Collision goes picture in picture.
Gabe storms around while soaking up the heat. Gabe goes to Shibata, drags him up, and SMACKS him back down! Gabe then steps over Shibata so he can fishhook Shibata’s face! The ref reprimands, Gabe stops, and Shibata writhes while clutching his face. Gabe paces around, stands Shibata back up, and CHOSP! Gabe talks trash, pie faces Shibata, but Shibata gets in Gabe’s face. Gabe ROCKS Shibata, ROCKS him again, but Shibata just nods! Gabe CHOPS Shibata down, covers, ONE!! Shibata is tougher than that but Gabe keeps right on him. Gabe drags Shibata up, ROCKS him with another right, then CLUBS him down!
Gabe stomps Shibata, does squats just to mock him, but then Shibata sits up. Gabe KICKS Shibata, but Shibata stands. Shibata PALM STRIKES and Gabe drops to a knee! Shibata looms over Gabe, brings him up, but Gabe SMACKS Shibata! And SMACKS again! Shibata SMACKS bac! Gabe DECKS Shibata, covers, TWO! Shibata stays in this but he clutches his neck, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Gabe has Shibata in the corner. Gabe pie faces then CHOPS! Shibata scowls but Gabe CHOPS again! Shibata turns things around to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Gabe sits down but Shibata CHOPS more! Shibata goes corner to corner, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Shibata brings Gabe up to HALF HATCH! Cover, TWO! Shibata clamps on with a SLEEPER! Gabe fights up, CLAWS Shibata’s eyes, then switches to SAIDO! Gabe hurries to cover, TWO! Gabe then suplexes to BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Gabe huffs ‘n’ puffs and wags his finger. Gabe reels Shibata in, but Shibata resists the lift!
Gabe lets go and he CHOPS Shibata on the back! Gabe pie faces Shibata while the fans go nuts. Gabe CHOPS again, but Shibata just gets mad! Gabe sits down and he eggs Shibata on! Shibata SLAPS Gabe on his bald head! Then CHOPS away on his back! The fans fire up as Shibata KICKS and CLUBS and UPPERCUTS! Gabe BOOTS back! Shibata runs to BOOT Gabe! Gabe CHOPS, Shibata ROCKS, Gabe LARIATS! Cover, ONE?!?! The fans fire up, Gabe runs, btu into a LARIAT!! The fans fire up with Shibata and he brings Gabe up. Shibata wrenches, waistlocks, but Gabe fights with elbows! Gabe ROCKS Shibata with a right!
Gabe talks trash, but Shibata SMACKS Gabe, then ripcords to CHOP! The fans fire up and Shibata brings Gabe up again. Shibata KICKS Gabe down! Then he clamps on the SLEEPER!! Gabe endures, but here comes Yuta! Shibata BOOTS Yuta down! The ref reprimands Yuta, but Gabe LOW BLOWS Shibata! PILEDRIVER!! Cover, Gabe wins!
Winner: Gabe Kidd, by pinfall
After getting that assist, Gabe is definitely a Death Rider now! Will they pull these same tricks to take those AEW World Trios Championships off The Opps? Wait, Kris Statlander is here? The Galaxy’s Greatest makes her way to ringside, high-fives some fans, and then smiles as she joins commentary for tonight’s main event! Will Kris get some good scouting notes on some potential Women’s Casino Gauntlet opponents?
8 Woman Tag: Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata, Willow Nightingale & Mina Shirakawa VS Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Julia Hart!
On top of the Women’s Casino Gauntlet for All In, the team captains are still gearing up for their ROH Women’s World Championship match! Will La Mera Mera be ready to take that title off the Fallen Goddess? Or will the American Joshi, the Minion Overlord, the ROH Gatekeeper be primed for Supercard of Honor?
Collision returns as the Fighting Gravure Idol makes her entrance, followed by the One True African Queen, and Thunder Rosa herself. They join the Babe with the Power in the ring, then the Megasus, the Toxic Spider, the Princess of the Black Throne, and lastly, Athena. Billie Starkz, Skye Blue & Penelope Ford all follow, so seven stars in all. Perhaps we can call them Pleiades? Either way, the teams sort out, and Mina starts against Athena. Texas cheers on Athena as she and Mina circle. They tie up, Athena arm-drags, but then Mina arm-drags back. Athena dodges as swing, Mina dodges a swing, and Mina slides to do her shimmy.
But then Athena SUPERKICKS Mina! Cover, ONE! Athena says okay then, and she whips Mina to a corner. Athena runs but Mina dodge!

Rosa brings Athena around, she and Willow DOUBLE- NO, Athena fights the suplex, slips free, and tags in Megan! Megan DOUBLE LARIATS Willow & Rosa! Megan whips Willow into Rosa in the corner! Then she runs and DOUBLE SPLASHES them! Athena adds on, handspring FOREARM! Then Megan fireman’s carries Willow! Rosa DECKS Athena, runs up on Megan, but Megan scoops her, too!

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

PLAY BY PLAY
Mercedes Mone is here!
The CEO does her dance as she struts out with just her AEW TBS Championship despite being #SixBeltsMone. She goes right to the ring where red carpet and directors chairs are waiting. Mone puts her belt aside with the others before she grabs a mic. “Texaaaas~! Say hello to your C E O! Now, Toni darling, I think we got off on the wrong foot, but I just want this face to face to be a civil conversation. So darling, let’s get to it. C’mon.” Mone waits but Toni Storm is on the tron. “Ah, and so we meet again here in Texas. Only two things come from Texas, and I am at least one of them.” The fans cheer that innuendo.
Toni hears the fans cheer her on, but Mone says she is sick of these games. But Mone is the master of games! Toni is hiding behind a screen, but on Saturday, there will be nowhere to hide. So why not come out here and face her face to face, “you mark?” And Mone promises not to hurt Toni too badly. Toni says, “Who said I was hiding? Hit my music!” Toin makes her entrance, Luther following behind. Toni goes right to the ring, Mone sees the champagne and says how nice of Toni. Let’s make a toast, shall we? Mone has a glass, then hands Toni a glass. A toast to… MONE! Your future AEW Women’s World Champion, #SevenBeltsMone!
They sip, but Mone says this is gross. It must’ve been frozen at some point. Toni says save the performative BS for your entrance, Mone. Toni thought she knew who Mone was, but clearly she was wrong. Toni warned Mone that she’s not like the others. But week after week, Mone has treated Toni like the underdog. Mone speaks in catchphrases, has the authenticity of a spray tan in a rainstorm. Mone has the emotional depth of a kiddy pool, and is also a s*it faced fraud! But in this belt, Toni found herself. But all these belts Mone wears are just masks for her to hide behind. So tell us, Mone, what the hell are you so afraid of?
The fans cheer Toni while Mone has a seat. Mone says she and Toni have walked very similar paths. But truth be told, they are nothing alike. Because Mone has and always will be better. The fans boo that, but Mone says she will always outshine Toni in success and class, and she is not afraid of any one or any thing. She is not afraid to leave it all on the table. She has been through hell and back and made the devil her b*tch. The more that the people hate her, the more Mone wins! And trust her, no one, and she means no one, is going to stop this Money Train! Not even Toni! This all here is her legacy, this is her destiny!
And Mone knows exactly who she is: The One Woman Revolution! The Alpha & Omega, and everything in between! The fans boo more but Toni says, “Legacies don’t exist, Mercedes! One day, we will all turn to dust and be forgotten. We’re all gonna die, Mercedes! Don’t you get it? All that matters is one moment. The moment where you step into this ring, look me in the eye, and you realize… that you fear an ordinary life, but I only fear an ordinary death! Now, I sincerely believe that you deserve all the titles in the world. But not this one!” The fans cheer that! Toni tells Mone that she will go down as the woman that just couldn’t win the big one!
Mone seethes behind her smile, and she says she wanted this to be civil, but she was wrong. This Saturday, may the best woman win! The two raise their glasses, they toast, and they drink. Toni says, “Eat s*it, b*tch!” Mone takes a swing on Toni but Toni slips around to Gory Especial! Mone slips free and runs away! The CEO won’t let Toni steal her signature move, but will Mone fail to steal the spotlight? Or will she make sure AEW is only “timeless” for a few more days?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“I know what you’re thinking, Hangman. With this Texas Death, you’re thinking we’ve been here before and things went your way. But that was one battle. And that was a long time ago. I’ve been beaten before. Been outmaneuvered, outsmarted, outmuscled, but I have never, ever in my life lost a war of attrition. And that’s exactly what this is. You think you can survive longer than me? Will you hold the line under the pressure of attack? Will you hold the line under the pressure of expectations? Will you hold the line under the pressure of everybody who’s counting on you?
“I think you’re a victim. I think you’re a waste. I think you’re absolutely pathetic. You have one chance to prove me wrong, so on July 12th, you better walk that aisle like it’s the last time you ever will. Because make no mistake about it, in Texas Death… You are all in, this time. Whether you like it or not, you are all the way in.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, but there will also be tonight’s All Star 8 Man in the main event! Will either man survive Garland to then fight in Global Life Field?
The Young Bucks arrive.
The Founding Fathers edition limousine pulls into the parking lot, and Nicholas & Matthew exit the back. They salute themselves, then enter the building. Will they be ready for the main event ahead of their own All In match? Or do they expect Moxley and Claudio to do the heavy lifting?

A truly busy week for these men here in Texas. Friday night is Supercard of Honor, and that will see The Most Wanted defend his ROH World Championship against The Alpha!

The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum says, “If you’re anything like me, and I know I am, last week on Collision, you saw a little piece o’ history. You saw FTR VS The Outrunners, and you saw The Outrunners ain’t just built for show! We’re built for go! Tell ’em, Turb!” Turbo Floyd says, “Oh, Truth Magnum, how close were we, huh? How close were we? Just that little bit right there where we had FTR. We stood toe-to-toe with one of the best tag teams in the world, if not the best, Truth Magnum. And what’d we prove?” Truth says they proved that they never give up, they never quit! And as long as they have each other, The Outrunners never lay down easy.
Turbo will tell FTR that here and now, this isn’t over! The Outrunners have their eyes on FTR! If you haven’t seen The Outrunners, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Tomorrow night, the special live edition of Thursday Night Collision from Garland, it will be an 8 Man Tag of the best teams in AEW! The Outrunners join forces with #JetSpeed to take on FTR & The Patriarchy! Will Truth & Turbo help Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey build momentum going into the AEW World Tag Team Championship Triple Threat? Or will Christian Cage & Nick Wayne help the Top Guys out by silencing their former friends? Plus Mistico prepares for the Men’s Casino Gauntlet by taking on The Beast Mortos! Can the Talisman of CMLL shine bright against the menacing minotaur?
Backstage interview with FTR & The Patriarchy.
Renee Paquette is with Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler & Stokely Hathaway, along with Christian Cage, Nick Wayne, “Mother Shayna” & Kip Sabian. Renee brings up the incredible match FTR had with The Outrunners, as well as the coming Triple Threat for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. But before that is Collision and the 8 Man Tag. How is this going to go? Christian says he’ll tell us how it’s gonna go. He could stand here and run FTR’s laundry list of accomplishments, but we don’t have that much time. We know FTR will bring their best, and The Patriarchy always brings their best, so Christian expects nothing but success.
And honestly, Christian likes where FTR’s heads have been lately. He is very impressed. And going into Collision and then All In, if FTR scratches their backs, they scratch FTR’s after The Patriarchy becomes the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions. #BigStoke says first of all, there have been a lot of miscarriages of justice in AEW, but the biggest one might be that FTR is NOT included in that tag title match. But hey, it’s not like they’re TEN-TIME tag team champions or anything. It’s not like they are THE winningest team in AEW history. It’s not like they had another instant classic last week on Collision.
But hey, that isn’t Christian’s fault. So FTR will be at All In to watch that match. And this back-scratching deal? Well, let’s see how tomorrow night goes. Deal? Stokely makes Christian shake his hand, and then FTR heads out. Christian wipes his hand off, but will the deal still stand? Will FTR make sure The Patriarchy stand atop the mountain so they can get their own shot?
Ricochet VS Blake Christian!
The One & Only not only rejected the two guys who actually came up to him and asked to be in his crew, he then had The Gates of Agony beat those two guys down! One of those men is the Vanilla Babyface, who looks to teach Ricochet a lesson in respect! Will Blake cut off the bald head of the snake? Or will Ricochet find a way to disrespect him again?
The bell rings and Blake swings. Ricochet dodges but Blake comes back to fire fast hands! Blake puts Ricochet in the corner, the ref counts, and Blake backs off. Ricochet runs up, Blake dodges, and Blake CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Blake CHOPS again and again, then whips. Ricochet reverses but Blake grabs ropes! Ricochet’s dropkick crash lands and Blake jumps on him for more fists! The ref reprimands, Blake lets Ricochet go and Ricochet bails out of the ring. Blake pursues, they slip back into the ring, but Ricochet CLOBBERS Blake! And CLOBBERS him again! Ricochet runs to AX HANDLE Blake down!
The fans taunt Ricochet with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” Ricochet frowns and he talks trash on Blake. Ricochet stands Blake up but Blake CHOPS, ROCKS, and CHOPS again!

Ricochet talks trash on Blake as he hobbles over to bring him up. Ricochet CHOPS Blake, then rolls into the ring. Blake rolls in shortly after, so Ricochet storms over that way. Ricochet stomps Blake, then runs to stomp him again! Ricochet talks trash to the fans, but Blake CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CLUBS Ricochet! Blake runs, but Ricochet CLOBBERS him! Ricochet cheers himself on but the fans continue to boo. Ricochet drags Blake up, wrenches and lifts him for a Bow ‘n’ Arrow Rack! Blake endures, but Ricochet goes to a corner to BOP Blake’s head off buckle pad again and again! Ricochet then spins and SLAMS Blake down!
Blake sputters, Ricochet and the ref argue about the corner thing, but Ricochet clamps onto Blake with a neck wrench. Blake endures, reaches out for the ROPEBREAK, and the ref counts. Ricochet lets go at 4, stomps Blake around, then talks trash on the fans. Ricochet scuffs Blake, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Ricochet drags Blake up. Ricochet suplexes but Blake slips free. Blake waistlocks, Ricochet ELBOWS him down, but Blake kips up to SUPERKICK! Ricochet wobbles, but he manages to JUMP KNEE!

Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.
Renee Paquette is with MJF, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, and she says in moments, we finally get the one-on-one Talky Talk with Mark Briscoe. MJF stops her there and says no, this isn’t going to be one-on-one just because Briscoe wants it. Briscoe has to see he’s about to get hurt by the syndicate. The Casino Gauntlet match will be as fast as a snap of the fingers. And MJF will then be one step closer to what he needs, and that is HIS All Elite Wrestling World Championship. Renee wants to talk the gauntlet but MVP interrupts to say the tag champs have a photoshoot set. MJF says of course, go right ahead.
MVP leads Lashley & Shelton to the back and MJF says Renee can rattle off more stupid questions if she wants. Renee starts again but then the Hurt Syndicate makes a ruckus. The tag titles are missing! And on the whiteboard, it reads, “Hey Shelton, since I already pinned you on Collision, figured we would take the belts early! Happy Birthday! JetSpeed.” Knight & Bailey stole the titles from the Hurt Syndicate! They’re all furious, and MVP quotes Westside Gun: Somebody ’bout to die! MVP tells MJF that they’ll handle JetSpeed, MJF can handle Briscoe. They head out and MJF is nervous now. Renee steps in and lets us know that the Talky Talk is up next!
AEW takes one more look at Okada VS Omega, Winner Takes All.
The Cleaner says, “Somehow I knew that this day would come. The shadow that I’ve been chasing… And I was happy to leave it at that. I was happy to close the book. Because on that day, I proved I was the best. And then of course, you had to come to AEW. The Kenny Omega I am today is a different man, because the Kazuchika Okada of today is a different man.” The Rainmaker says, “When I hurt you, I felt good. When I saw your blood, I felt great!” Omega said Okada had to use someone from his past to make it personal. Congratulations. That’s what he did. But he’ll get a different Omega then he’s faced before.
Callis vows to make Omega a footnote in wrestling history, and he’ll be the author behind it. Omega says he’ll do whatever it takes to win. Okada says he’ll gladly hurt Omega, but he might even kill him! Omega says this is all he has left in this business. International Champion, Continental Champion, Unified Champion, one man leaves it all in the ring while the other gains it all! Who will stand tall in the end?
Mark Briscoe is here!
Garland, Texas cheers as the Sussex County Chicken goes to the ring, and he high-fives the front row. He even holds up a fan’s sign that says MJF has a tiny kosher pickle! But speaking of, here comes Maxwell Jacob Friedman. The fans chant “Tiny Pickle!” at MJF while he grabs a mic. Briscoe says that is exactly right! But please, simmer down, because it is time to have a Talky Talk. The fans chant “Talky Talk! Talky Talk!” and MJF says first of all, that phrase is the dumbest ish he has ever heard in his entire life. And secondly, he knows like these fans here, Briscoe is a stupid white trash, redneck hick, so MJF will speak in a way all of them can understand.
“Well howdy, y’all! Aw shucks, Mark Briscoe, I sure as heck hope you don’t mosey on down your way to All In: Texas, cuz if you do, I’ma dog walk ya! Do you reckon y’all understand that or what?” The fans boo and tell MJF to STFU instead. MJF says he doesn’t know what Briscoe is thinking stepping into the ring with him. That is like throwing rocks at a man with a machine gun. So unfortunately for all of you, there will be no Talky Talk. So, you hillbilly, take a walkie walk to your meth lab in Dumpster Fire, Delaware, so you can keep feeding all 95 of your inbred children nothing but shoe leather and chicken feed, you poor!
The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Briscoe says, “Now listen here, Pickle. It sounds like to me what you need is a good ol’ country ass whooping.” The fans chant, “Whoop His Ass! Whoop His Ass!” Briscoe says it’s coming. Believe you him, it is coming. Saturday will be here before you know it, and at All In, Globe Life Field, the Casino Gauntlet, Briscoe’s the number one man, MJF is the number two, and the bell’s gonna go ding-ding-ding, and Briscoe will commence to whoop MJF the likes of which he has never experienced before! The fans cheer that! But Saturday is Ass Whooping Day. Tonight is Talky Talk Day!
Briscoe sees MJF come out here, try to berate him, but it does not work because Briscoe is proud to be a country boy, is proud to be a redneck, and is proud to have worked hard for dollar he has put in his pocket! The fans cheer that, too! Briscoe says MJF is there with his big money suit, his dumb scarf that probably costs more than Briscoe’s whole wardrobe, and that makes him the “rich guy.” Well, MJF, Briscoe has riches, too. He has his family, his friends, the good Lord above has blessed him beyond measure! And that is something Briscoe just doesn’t think MJF understands. MJF calls himself rich, but y’know what you are? Bankrupt!
Matter of fact, the word of the day today is bankrupt. MJF is morally bankrupt, and he has no soul! And that being said, Briscoe sees right through MJF. He is so predictable. Briscoe knows what MJF will do next. MJF is about to talk some dumb crap about Briscoe’s brother, Jay, try to rile Briscoe up, but he’s prepared for it all week so go ahead, have at it. MJF says hold on, hold on, hold on. MJF would never say anything about Jay Briscoe. Jay Briscoe will go down as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time! The fans do cheer that. MJF says Jay Briscoe will go down more over as one of the greatest human beings to step foot in a pro-wrestling ring.
MJF says there is a special place up in Heaven for THE Jay Briscoe! The fans again cheer, and even chant “JAY! JAY! JAY!” But then MJF says, “However… I do pity your brother. And not cuz he passed away. I mean, that’s obvious. No, see, I pity your brother because while he’s up there in those pearly gates, he has to look down and see what you’ve become.” The fans boo but MJF says Jay must be rolling in his damn grave, because he has had to watch his baby brother go from being one half of the greatest tag teams of all time, #DemBoys, to nothing more than a joke. The fans boo but MJF says in fact, he’s no betting man, mostly because he has more money than everyone here in this arena…
But if MJF was a betting man, he’d be willing to bet, that if by the grace of God, if Jay was somehow still here tonight, MJF knows exactly what Jay would say to Mark. He’d tell Chicken, “It shouldn’t have been me in that accident… It should’ve been you!” MARK TACKLES MJF! The fans fire up as Briscoe rains down fists, but MJF CLAWS Mark’s eyes! The fans boo but Mark turns things around again! Mark drags MJF up, reels him in, underhook, but here comes the Hurt Syndicate! They still don’t have the belts, but they’ll look to cook Chicken instead. But wait! JETSPEED rushes in! They CLOBBER MVP, then throw hands on Lashley & Shelton!
The fans fire up as Knight & Bailey take the fight to the champs, and then Briscoe DECKS MJF! MJF runs for it! Briscoe pursues, they go into the dark of the night! Will they run all the way to Globe Life Field at this rate? JetSpeed keeps going after MVP, Lashley & Shelton, and Bailey KICKS Shelton! Shelton ROCKS Bailey, but Knight CLOBBERS Shelton with one of the title belts! Then they RAM Shelton into steel steps! Bailey lines up a shot, runs in, DROPKICK into the steps! The fans fire up for JetSpeed, and then they BOOT Lashley! And BOOT him again! Then they DOUBLE BOOT! Lashley falls and the fans fire up again!
JetSpeed mug Shelton more, then say “Happy Birthday!” They throw him into more steel steps! Shelton tumbles, but then The Patriarchy shows up? They pick the bones by standing Lashley up to RAM him into barriers! They even THROW MVP into railing! Kip & Nick RAM Lashley into more railing! Christian has a chair to JAM MVP up, then he lets Kip put the chair under Lashley’s leg! Christian has another chair, CON-CHAIR-TO to the leg!! Nick gets to CON-CHAIR-TO Lashley’s leg, too! And then another CON-CHAIR-TO from Christian!! JetSpeed puts Shelton in the ring, and we get TIME ADVENTURE!
Shelton falls, Bailey puts him in the drop zone, and Knight is up top! MOTHERSHIP UFO SPLASH!! The Hurt Syndicate just learned what it is to get hurt! Will they even survive at All In now?
Women’s Casino Gauntlet Number Two Spot Fatal 4 Way: Megan Bayne w/ Penelope Ford VS Tay Melo w/ Anna Jay VS Queen Aminata VS Thekla!
Kris Statlander proved she’s the Galaxy’s Greatest by winning the number one spot for the coming Women’s Casino Gauntlet, but now we will see who joins her as number two! Will the Megasus, the Brazilian Blackbelt, the One True African Queen or The Toxic Spider defy the odds tonight to improve their odds on Saturday?
The bell rings and Megan BOOTS Thekla down! Tay BOOTS Aminata to a corner! So much for teaming up last week! Megan and Tay get face to face to talk trash, but then Thekla and Aminata storm up. Thekla ROCKS Megan but Tay ROCKS Aminata first! Megan kicks back, Aminata fires back, and Megan TOSSES Thekla! Aminata fires hands on Tay, but Megan DOUBLE LARIATS them both! The fans fire up and Megan runs up, only for Tay to DUMP her out! Tay goes to the apron, and she CANNONBALLS Megan to the floor! The fans fire up with Tay but now Thekla’s up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto Tay & Megan!
Thekla fires up, the fans re with her, but Aminata is up top!? Aminata SUPER CANNONBALLS onto them all! A risky move but it pays off! Aminata says she is the one, and she picks Thekla up. The fans rally behind Aminata as she brings Thekla around, and runs her right into railing! The fans fire up again and Aminata is feeling good while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Megan CHOPS Tay, Tay ROCKS Megan, and repeat! Megan fires a flurry of forearms, then she CHOPS Tay again! Tay staggers away but Megan pursues to whip her into railing! Aminata goes back for Thekla but Thekla CHOPS Aminata first! Thekla makes Aminata sit in the corner while Megan drags Tay back up. Thekla climbs up to rain down fists on Aminata! The ref reprimands, he wants someone to get this in the ring. Megan SMACKS Tay off the apron, backs Anna off, and Thekla runs up on Aminata. Aminata drop toeholds Thekla into the chair! Tay fires off on Megan! Aminata puts Thekla in the ring, Tay runs up on Megan, but Megan LARIATS!

AEW shares their condolences for Texas.
The severe flooding that started in Kerr County along the Guadalupe River has claimed over 100 lives, with many more still missing. And on behalf of The Chairshot, thoughts and prayers for all those affected.
Backstage interview with Thekla.
Renee is with the Toxic Spider and notes she missed out on winning that Fatal 4, meaning she is not guaranteed a spot in the Casino Gauntlet. However, there is no denying her impact since arriving in AEW, and has yet to be pinned herself. Should her name be called for the match, will- AMINATA ATTACKS! These two brawl, security rushes in, and they pull these two apart! The Queen and the Spider want to rip each other apart, will they get the chance this Saturday? And then Mark Briscoe walks in saying that the Casino Gauntlet is going down! He got just what he needed from MJF tonight! Briscoe knew MJF would say something stupid that would fire him up!
And now, the… uh, angry gibberish, and then it is a definite certainty! Briscoe is gonna kill MJF in that match for being a stupid SOB! RAH RAH RAAAH!! The Chicken is fired up, will he turn the Wolf of Wrestling into dog food?
Samoa Joe VS Wheeler Yuta!
The Opps have the AEW World Trios Championships and the Death Riders want them back! But the issue of no third man aside, can The Decoder find the solution to the Samoan Submission Specialist? Or will Joe make sure there’s one less pawn on the board for Moxley this Saturday?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Yuta says yeah, heard that one before. The two circle, tie up, and Yuta wrenches to a wristlock. The fans chant “Get a Haircut!” at Yuta while he wristlocks again. Joe wrenches, wristlocks, and he wrangles Yuta to the mat. Joe slaps Yuta around but Yuta goes for the ropes. Joe backs off and the fans cheer him on. The two reset, and Yuta calls for a knuckle lock. Joe smirks and steps up. They knuckle lock, and Joe wrenches to hand! Joe ROCKS Yuta, JABS him again and again, then whips Yuta to a corner. Joe runs in, Yuta dodges, then Yuta comes back, only for Joe to put him on the apron.
Yuta blocks a shot to ROCK Joe, then Yuta climbs. Yuta leaps but Joe says NOPE! But Yuta knew that and landed on his feet! Yuta fakes the belly flop, then he CLAWS Joe’s eyes! The fans boo but Yuta DROPKICKS Joe out of the ring! Yuta then PLANCHAS, but now Joe’s NOPE works! The fans cheer and even Joe is surprised, but Dynamite goes to picture in picture.
Joe stalks Yuta around the way, CHOPS him, and Yuta sits in the corner. Yuta CHOPS back, but Joe CHOPS again! Joe smirks, then drags Yuta up to whip him hard into railing! Joe storms up, brings Yuta around and pushes him into the ring. Joe rolls in, Yuta flounders, but Joe JABS! JABS! JABS! Joe winds up, then KICKS Yuta low! Yuta claims low blow but Joe says it was just his inner thigh. Joe ROCKS Yuta, brings him around, and HEADBUTTS him! Yuta goes to a corner, kicks in return, then throws hands! Yuta fires off in the corner, then climbs up to rain down more shots! Yuta stops at TEN, whips, but Joe blocks it!
Yuta tries again but Joe holds the ropes to block! Yuta ROCKS Joe, whips him after all, but Joe reverses and BACKDROPS! Yuta flies high and crashes hard! Joe drags Yuta up, snapmares him, and then CHPOS him on the back! And KICKS him in the front! Then he drops an ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Yuta toughs it out but Joe is rather amused. Joe clamps onto Yuta with a neck wrench and leans on the hold. Yuta endures, pries at the grip, then fights up. Joe CLUBS Yuta, but Yuta CHOPS! Joe smirks and CHOPS Yuta! Yuta flops around and Joe covers, TWO! Dynamite returns to single picture as Yuta goes to ropes.
Joe drags Yuta up, fires a forearm, but Yuta fires back! They go back and forth, then Yuta KNEES low! Yuta runs, but into an ELBOW! The fans fire up and Joe pushes Yuta into the corner. Joe puts Yuta up, tucks him in, but Yuta CLAWS the eyes! The fans boo but Yuta leaps, MISSILE DROPKICK! Joe tumbles out, Yuta builds speed, and Yuta DIVES! Joe staggers around but Yuta puts him in the ring. Yuta goes up and Joe stands, FLYING FOREARM! Cover, ONE?!? Joe shows some true grit and both men rise up.

Joe whips Yuta corner to corner, Yuta bounces off buckles and Joe hits the SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Yuta sputters and flounders to a corner. The fans cheer Joe but Yuta wants the ref to check his eyes. The ref looks closely, but Yuta just uses the ref as a shield! Then he sucker punches Joe!
Yuta fires hands, CLAWS the eyes, then whips. Joe reverses but Yuta rewinds and slips around, but Joe is too hefty to German Suplex! So Yuta BITES Joe’s ear! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Yuta O’Conner Rolls! TWO, and into COQUINA CLUTCH!! Yuta TAPS, Joe wins!
Winner: Samoa Joe, by submission
But wait! GABE KIDD CLOBBERS JOE!! The IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion, the Mad Man, and the mercenary for The Elite’s dirty work is back again! Gabe then rains down fists on Joe, but here come The Opps! Hobbs & Shibata run Gabe & Yuta off! The dogs run off, but Claudio & Moxley will be here shortly. Will the #DeathBucks finally beat down their enemies once and for all? Or can the Cowboy, Assassin, Wrestler & Powerhouse put the hurt on the tyrants of AEW?
8 Man Tag: Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & The Young Bucks VS Hangman Page, Will Ospreay, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs!
Dynamite returns as Ospreay makes his entrance, followed by Hangman’s. Following that are The Founding Fathers, Matthew & Nicholas, who the fans boo. Then the Death Riders enter from the crowd, also getting their fair share of boos. The teams sort out and Hangman starts against Matt. The bell rings and Hangman LARIATS Matt inside-out! Hangman then swings on Moxley, on Nick, and on Claudio! They all back off, Matt storms up, but Hangman fires haymakers! Hangman whips, BOOTS Matt, and the fans fire up for #CowboyS*it! Hangman warns Mox, but Mox just smirks while Nick HOTSHOTS Hangman!
Matt CLUBS away on Hangman, tags Nick, and The Bucks both stomp Hangman. The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but The Bucks double whip. They DOUBLE ELBOW Hangman down, then they hit their signature pose. But Hangman tags in Ospreay! Ospreay springboards to DOUBLE CROSSBODY! The fans fire up and Ospreay CHOPS away on Matt. Ospreay whips, Matt reverses, but Ospreay DOUBLE NEURALIZES The Bucks! Tag to Shibata, and he tags Hobbs. Ospreay sends Nick to the corner, adds an ELBOW, then Shibata runs to HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Shibata then HALF HATCH SUPLEXES Nick, and Hobbs is there!
Hobbs ripcords Nick for the POWERSLAM! Hobbs tags Ospreay, then sets up for him, STANDING SKY TWISTER! Cover, but Matt & the Death Riders break it! So Hangman & The Opps go after them! The fans cheer as the brawl is on! Things spill outside, Shibata on Claudio! Ospreay throws Matt out, then PLANCHAS to take everyone out!

Ospreay SOBATS! Ospreay CLUBS Claudio, runs, but Claudio pops him up for an UPPERCUT! Claudio hurries to TOSS Ospreay out, then he goes out to stomp away! Nick distracts the ref so that Claudio and Matt can mug Ospreay! Hangman & The Opps protest but the Death Bucks get away with all of that. Wait, Marina & Moxley have confiscated the timekeeper’s table?! They bring that over while Claudio puts Ospreay on the apron.
Moxley drags Ospreay up just to ROCK him with a right! Moxley tags in, stands Ospreay up, and DECKS him! Ospreay tumbles out of the ring but Moxley is right after him.

Winners: Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & The Young Bucks, by submission
Moxley won’t let go of Shibata, but Hangman is back! Hangman fires hands on Moxley, but Claudio gets after him! The Bucks rush back in, and then Yuta & Gabe return from wherever they were hiding! The fans boo as the full Death Riders and friends, if that’s what we can call them, mug Hangman together! Marina finds a steel chain and hands it to Moxley! Moxley uses it to CHOKE Hangman! Ospreay is back up but he gets mugged, too! Ospreay and Hangman are stomped over and over, then Moxley has Marina bring out plastic bags! They’re gonna do Ospreay and Hangman like they did Bryan Danielson!!
The fans boo as The Bucks have the honors of opening the bags, but wait! SWERVE STRICKLAND is back?! And he’s driving some heavy machinery? Swerve says, “I once told a man that he would have to choose between hate and success. Between peace and vengeance. Then I was reminded… They’re one in the same. See Matt, Nick, everything that we’ve been through this past year has been about control. It’s always been about control. And right now, I’m about to take it back. Well, some of it. I’ma leave the rest of it for me and Will Ospreay this Saturday at All In. So pay attention, gentlemen. Because this is how vengeance breeds.”
Swerve drives his excavator right up to the Founding Fathers mobile! And SMASHES IT!! Which was more expensive? The limousine itself or all the detailing? The Bucks freak out as Swerve SMASHES the back end, too! The Bucks rush out of the arena but there’s no saving the car now! And then Joe rushes in, tipping the scales back into The Opps’ favor! The brawl is back on, URENAGE for Moxley! LARIAT for Claudio! Ospreay CLOBBERS Gabe, Joe TOSSES Claudio, and then Ospreay goes up! ARIHARA MOONSAULT onto everybody! Swerve keeps going with the limo, and he TIPS IT OVER! “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”
The fans fire up as Swerve has done his part. Hangman runs up on Moxley, DISCUS LARIAT! Hangman goes to the apron, then BUCK- UPPERCUT from Claudio! But Hangman still LARIATS Claudio in return! Hangman and Moxley stare down, and now Hangman has the steel chain! Hangman wraps it around his fist but Marina gets Moxley outta there! The Problem knows that this won’t end well for Moxley. The Death Riders take a tactical retreat, but will nothing stop Hangman from ending the reign of terror once and for all? As for The Bucks, they’re two minutes too late to save their car! “How’re we gonna financially recover from this?!”
The Bucks are furious with Swerve, and then Prince Nana has to rub it in. Oh wait, Swerve hits a KILL STOMP from outta nowhere! “I found the fathers! HAHA!” Will Swerve & Ospreay add insult to injury by stripping The Bucks of their Executive Vice President status? Or will The Bucks make Swerve & Ospreay pay by taking away their title opportunities for an entire year? Who will be ready to go All In?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite for the go-home, really good builds in every segment. Toni and Mone opening was great, and Toni had the best lines. They almost brawled, but with Mone running away, I feel like that means Toni stood tall. And that would mean Mone wins the AEW Women’s World Championship to truly reach an Ultimo Dragon level of belts on her. If that’s what we get, that’s pretty wild. At the same time, the Women’s Casino Gauntlet winner could then be set up to beat Mone. Kris Statlander still stands as a great choice, and then we got a great Fatal 4 Way (though a little clunky to start). Great win for Megan, and I really liked Aminata and Thekla brawling backstage.
Great tying of builds together through the Hurt Syndicate. JetSpeed pulling off belt theft was a clever way to keep Hurt Syndicate from helping MJF with Briscoe to start. Great stuff with the “Talky Talk,” Briscoe continues to be underrated as a promo guy. And when MJF said he wasn’t gonna insult Jay, I could just feel he’d flip it to insult Mark with such morbid ideas. Great brawl that then brought out Hurt Syndicate but also their contenders. With JetSpeed and Patriarchy both beating the Hurt Syndicate down that badly, that certainly indicates the Syndicate finds a way to win. Very good promo from The Outrunners, and very good response promo from FTR and Patriarchy. That 8 Man Tag will also be part of the math, but I feel like the losers in the 8 Man Tag will then take the pin in the Triple Threat.
Great match from Ricochet VS Blake, but of course The Gates of Agony helped out. Makes Ricochet a little weak needing help against Blake, but Blake therefore looks strong, and the fans sure had his back. Maybe Blake Christian and Lee Johnson work with AR Fox for a Six Man Tag with Ricochet & Gates, but even that feels like Ricochet & Gates win. Great tag match of Bandido & Brody VS Protoshita, and great win for Protoshita. However, that would make me think Konosuke does NOT win the ROH World Championship at Supercard. As I said last week, that’s a tough one, because Konosuke does deserve something, but he is a bit above ROH already, so I suppose it’s fine.
Very good video promo from Okada VS Omega, though it doesn’t add to the go-home math. And Tony Khan posted on social media that the Unified Championship doesn’t even get rid of the International or Continental, the winner will hold all three belts at once, so… it’s literally just the Okada VS Omega title! But whatever, the match will be awesome, the winner will have earned it, and there will be countless possibilities for after. Maybe the Unified Champion does double headers of defending the International and the Continental titles, or maybe a series of Winner Takes All matches. Either way, I feel like they should just pull the trigger on Okada VS Takeshita.
And naturally, great stuff with the top stories. Samoa Joe VS Wheeler Yuta was great, and I figured Joe would win. But Gabe Kidd attacking makes me think they’re gonna do the boring thing and have Gabe step in as the third man for the trios title match. I would rather they have Hook pull a Bash at the Beach Hogan nWo move. Plus, Gabe should focus on NJPW, the G1 Climax is coming so when would he be stateside to be part of the Death Rider story past All In? Either way, great stuff in the 8 Man Tag main event, and there’s a lot of math to unpack here. Death Bucks win the match, but then Swerve wrecks The Bucks and their limo. Meanwhile, Hangman at least ran Moxley off.
I really hope that despite how it looks, all the Faces win at All In. Ospreay and Swerve can’t be kept from the world title for a year while The Bucks continue to be insufferable Heel authority figures. Honestly, I don’t think we can take another build of Moxley as world champion when Hangman has overcome his inner demons, won the Owen Hart Cup, and has all this support from both the fans and his peers. Just as WWE once gave us “everything we wanted” for WrestleMania 35 (Rollins beating Lesnar, KofiMania prevailing, and Becky winning the Triple Threat against Charlotte and Ronda), we need this All In to be the same.
My Score: 9/10
