Jon Moxley VS Ryan Nemeth!

The Maniac is firing up for some huge title matches in the next few weeks! The 26th of February, he defends his IWGP United States Championship against Kenta! The 7th of March, he goes after the title Kenny Omega cheated away from him! Will the Hollywood Hunk merely serve as a tune-up?

The bell rings and Nemeth leaps at Moxley! Moxley denies the satellite DDT, Nemeth comes back to headlock but Moxley powers out. They ram shoulders, Moxley doesn’t budge, and he SLAPS Nemeth off his feet! Fans are fired up already, and Moxley gives Nemeth crossface forearms from all sides! Nemeth flops and flounders away but Moxley stalks behind him. Moxley drags Nemeth up and reels him in, but Nemeth gets around to throat chop! Nemeth rams knees in over and over, then runs, but Moxley gets around to SNAP BACK SUPLEX! Fans fire up again as Moxley looms over Nemeth. Moxley STOMPS Nemeth’s hand, then stalks him as he scrambles away.

Moxley wraps Nemeth’s arm around ropes, pulls on it, but lets off as the ref counts 4. Moxley CHOPS Nemeth in a corner, whips him corner to corner and runs in, but into a boot! Nemeth throws forearms, whips Moxley, but Moxley reverses. Nemeth goes up and over and RAMS in, then runs, only for Moxley to follow and CLOBBER Nemeth in the corner! Moxley runs but Nemeth dropkicks him down! Nemeth drags Moxley up but Moxley gets around to full nelson, then GUILLOTINE! Nemeth endures, Moxley underhooks him, PARADIGM SHIFT! Cover, Moxley wins!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall

The fans are going wild for the Maniac, and Moxley is ready to run wild in both NJPW Strong and AEW Revolution! Moxley gets a chair, a mic, and takes a seat to say, “From the moment that I woke up in the morning without the AEW World Championship, I knew that I would do whatever it takes for as long as it takes.” Crawl through mud, barbed wire and landmines, he’ll get back to the top and take the hill! And it turns out, that’s exactly what he’ll have to do now.

“What comes to your mind, what images… when you hear the words “Exploding barbed wire deathmatch? Fire, blood, burns, torture, agony? Vintage Japanese wrestling magazines.” Are you disgusted? Revolted? Do your palms sweat and hands shake? Or do you get a sick thrill? Moxley shares what those make him feel, and why he’s made every mistake and bad choice you can think of throughout the course of his life: “I’m an addict. I’m addicted to this!” He wants to live close to the flames. He wants to feel all the blood, sweat and tears, from the bottom of his soul to lay his soul bare! That’s a feeling he can’t get enough of!!

Fans cheer as Moxley says, “The thought, the idea of the Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch, it’s too attractive. It pulls me in! I can’t resist it!” Even if it is a trap by Kenny Omega and his boys, that is not the first in a long line of sad guys who tried to take him out! Now, win, lose or draw, everyone in this building and watching at home, everyone who’s been with him this entire time, we will all know that when it’s all said and done, Moxley gave everything that he had! And if it is all over after Revolution, live on PPV, in the Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch, “that seems like a perfect way, a HELL of a way, to go out.” Fans are thunderous for this match already, but who will survive when Maniac and Cleaner ride the line one more time?

 

AEW shares a post-Dynamite interview from last week.

Lance Archer and Rey Fenix were both informed that they would have a chance at the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match at the Revolution PPV. Cody Rhodes, Scorpio Sky and Penta El Zero Miedo are in that, but these two have had good chemistry teaming up given their recent matches. Archer wants Alex to understand, iron sharpens iron. They were a killer tag team because of the Murderhawk Monster. Archer doesn’t need to qualify, he’ll kick Fenix’s ass. Fenix wants Alex to translate for him. Archer wants to know what he just said.

Well, Fenix told Alex that Archer is the worst tag partner he’s ever had. Wow, really? Archer gets mad, pushes Fenix, and a brawl is on! Fenix used speed to dodge but not for long! Things didn’t end there, but they will end in the main event! Who joins the American Nightmare, Closer and Cero Miedo at Revolution?

 

The Young Bucks and family arrive backstage.

Matt & Nick are accompanied by Mama & Papa Jackson and they see the boy son the back of the crew truck. They get a group picture in front of that, and the parents are so proud. Will they be even prouder of their boys when they take it to the Inner Circle at Revolution?

 

Brian Cage & Ricky Starks w/ Team Taz VS The Varsity Blondes!

Darby grins as he sports his own take on Sting’s face paint! And then, in the stadium, the snow, the crow and… IT’S STIIIIIING! He’s dragging in the same body bag!

Cage wobbles, Sting kicks a leg out, and brings him back into the SCORPION DDT!! Will Sting and Darby do this and more come Revolution?

 

Tony Schiavone interviews Miro, Kip Sabian & Penelope Ford.

Schiavone already feels uncomfortable as he introduces the Best Man and the Superbad newlyweds. Miro asks why it’s uncomfortable. Because of what happened at the wedding. Kip says the fact they’re even having this interview is a joke! It is a complete joke! Beach Break was supposed to be the best day of their lives, a memory they’d cherish forever. Kip asks Schiavone what happened. It was destroyed. And by who? Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy. Miro says the Superbad Honeymoon didn’t even happen because of Chuck and Orange! And trust Miro, he will get those guys, and he will destroy “that walking human Xanax!”

But caving in Chuck’s head will be different. Not because Chuck can match Miro in the ring. It’s because Miro actually likes Chuck. Chuck is a good guy, he was a good butler, polishing Miro’s car, organizing the kettle bells, folding the laundry, all of that. So Miro wants to tell Chuck that he is welcomed back. Come home, Chuck! Miro will forgive Chuck, though he won’t forget what happened. Wait, an AEW staffer gives Schiavone a note. Schiavone reads it, and it’s a message to Miro! “Will you wrestle us at Revolution? Yes, No, Maybe, circle one. Hugs and kisses, Chuck and Orange.”

This is what Miro is talking about! This is childish! Chuck is not a child, do not act like one! Associating with Cassidy is doing this to him! Chuck can come home and live a good, happy life! Miro chews up the note and spits at Schiavone! That’s not an answer to the note. Will Chuck and Cassidy make the challenge much more mature for Miro next time?

 

Brandon Cutler VS Jake Hager!

The Dungeon Master wants revenge on behalf of the Young Bucks for what happened after the tag title match last week! But will he only get himself hurt for defending his friends?

The bell rings, fans fire up as Hager and Cutler circle, and the two approach, Cutler dodges to fire off hands, but Hager just tosses Cutler to a corner! Cutler dodges again, fires off more hands, climbs up to rain them down, but Hager picks him up to bring him out! Cutler sunset flips but Hager drags him up to whip. Cutler ducks and dodges to wheelbarrow, but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! Hager looms over Cutler, deadlifts him and GERMAN SUPLEXES him again! Fans want that “One More Time!” but Hager just fires off body shots in the corner! Cutler sputters as the ref backs Hager off, but Hager comes back to whip corner to corner, and BOOT Cutler down on the rebound!

Hager soaks up the heat, runs corner to corner with Cutler in the drop zone, HAGER BOMB! Cutler flounders to a corner, Hager digs his knee into Cutler’s head, but the ref counts. Hager lets off, drags Cutler back up and whips him to ropes. Cutler kicks Hager back! Then slips out and sends Hager into buckles to KICK again! Hager runs in but Cutler dumps Hager out! Cutler builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit but Cutler keeps going, and he FLIES! Direct hit takes Hager down and fans are fired up! Cutler pushes Hager in, aims and springboards, into a SPINEBUSTER! Hager fires up, fans boo, but Hager circles like a shark. Hager runs and builds speed to CLOBBER Cutler!! Cover, Hager wins!

Winner: Jake Hager, by pinfall

The Big Hurt put the hurt on Cutler, and the Inner Circle runs in to add on! Santana, Ortiz and Wardlow stomp Cutler down at the ropes but the YOUNG BUCKS run out! SUPERKICKS for Santana and Ortiz! Hager and Wardlow bail out to avoid their own superkicks, and the Bucks shield Cutler. Matt gets a mic to call out Jericho and MJF! “We don’t have to wait until Revolution! How about you get your stupid asses down to this ring, right here, right now?!” Y2MJF have their entrance going, but where are they? They’re talking via titantron as they’re backstage!

Why would they waste time going to the ring when they’ll just beat the living hell out of the Bucks at Revolution to become tag team champions? But they saw someone wandering backstage, does this guy belong to them? PAPA BUCK got beat up!! MJF says Papa being proud of his boys brought a tear to MJF’s eye. Back row to the spotlight. Look at your son, Nick! Jericho RAMS Papa Buck into the picture of Nick! Oh he’s getting blood on it! But he can’t favor one son over the other, say “hi” to MATT! They RAM Matt into that picture, and Jericho mockingly says they should get a doctor! Better yet, the Bucks should hurry to pick up the trash. Then they mock the Buck pose and run off!

The Bucks arrive a second too late, and they go to their father’s side. The Inner Circle runs away in their Escalade, and Matt is beside himself with rage! Will the Bucks make Y2MJF pay for making this personal?

 

AEW returns with the Bucks getting their father into an ambulance.

The Good Brothers are also with them, and they ride with Nick while Matt stays with Mama Buck. Will Papa Buck be alright after what Y2MJF did to him?

 

AEW profiles “The Crossroads” super match on next week’s Dynamite!

Originally intended for Revolution, the amazing crossover of Shaquille O’Neil & Jade Cargill VS Cody & Brandi Rhodes had to change when Mr. & Mrs. American Nightmare found out they were expecting! Red Velvet stepped to the plate on behalf of Brandi, and now things will happen on March 3rd, live on TNT!

Excalibur says that Shaq has been a presence for over 25 years. Tony Schiavone says Shaq is very well known even outside of the NBA. Jade had perhaps crossed a line, but Shaq couldn’t help but push the envelope. One thing has led to another, and we’ve reached a boiling point! JR knows this will mean a lot to Velvet so young in her career. Velvet knows she has the experience edge and grit, passion and heart unlike Jade. She will give it everything she’s got! Schiavone wants us to remember that despite Cody’s other ventures, he puts wrestling first. Shaq is not worried about Cody’s legacy, and JR knows that a world class athlete like Shaq isn’t just going to go through the motions.

Shaq has warned Cody that the Shaq Attack is coming. Excalibur says Cody and Velvet can win by relying on their experience and just about every bit of their skill, because they’ll have to. They can’t afford Shaq or Jade to get that one good shot in. JR says Cody is of course going to be a better wrestler, but size and strength are always a factor. That X-factor can be enough for Jade and Shaq to win. Size and strength, experience and skill, what wins when these two teams meet at the Crossroads?

 

Hangman Page VS Isiah Kassidy w/ Matt Hardy!

The Cowboy got one over on Big Money Matt, but not without Matt coming up with a Plan B! Revolution will have a first-ever 1v1 between these two, with the winner receiving ALL of the loser’s Q1 earnings! Will one of Hardy’s Private Party proteges make Page pay for pulling a fast one? Or will Hangman be hanging tough going towards Revolution’s big money match?

Wait, Hardy has recruited The Hybrid2 to his cause? Are they going to cash in on that $3700 bounty just to soften up Hangman for Hardy? Hangman makes his entrance, and he rushes right at Hardy! Hardy gets away but Kassidy goes after Hangman and the bell rings! Kassidy throws hands, whips but Hangman dodges to ROCK Kassidy with haymakers! Hangman stomps Kassidy in a corner, stomps him even more, then lets off as the ref counts. The fans fire up, Hangman throws his vest aside and whips Kassidy to ropes. Kassidy dodges but leaps into Hangman’s arms for a FALL AWAY SLAM!

Hangman kips up, Kassidy bails out, but Hangman hurries after. Kassidy gets back in, Hangman slides in but Kassidy stomps him! Kassidy drags Hangman up, CHOPS him, but Hangman CHOPS him back! Kassidy stomps and whips, Hangman comes back to CLOBBER him! Fans rally for Hangman while Kassidy sits up in a daze. Hardy talks smack to Hangman but Hangman just goes over to Kassidy. Hangman drags Kassidy up, Kassidy throws body shots but Hangman CLUBS him down! Hangman whips Kassidy corner to corner, runs in but Kassidy boots him! Kassidy hops up, leaps, but into a BOOT! Kassidy flops out and Hardy grows frustrated, but Hangman PLANCHAS Kassidy hard!

Fans are thunderous as Hangman glares as Hardy and TH2. Hardy backs up as Hangman storms over, but Hangman refreshes the count. Hangman drags Kassidy up, shoves him into railing, then CLOBBERS him into the front row of wrestlers! The ring count climbs, Hardy tells Hangman he’s a bastard! Hangman refreshes the count again, drags Kassidy from the crowd and dumps him ringside. Hangman stands Kassidy up to CHOP him! Kassidy flounders to the timekeeper’s area but Hangman brings him around to powerbomb lift. Kassidy escapes, gets in the ring but Hangman pursues! TH2 distracts the ref, Hardy anchors Hangman, Kassidy HOTSHOTS Hangman! Hardy POSTS Hangman!!

But the Dark Order’s Alex Reynolds & John Silver appear! They point out something happened, the ref looks and suspects Hardy. Hardy denies involvement but the ref doesn’t trust him! She EJECTS Hardy!! Hardy pleads with Aubrey but she doesn’t care! Fans taunt Hardy with “DELETE! DELETE!” Kassidy puts Hangman in to get past that and stomp Hangman down! Hardy tells TH2 it’s on them now. Kassidy stomps Hangman, but Hangman kicks back! Kassidy stomps more while Silver & Reynolds cheer Hangman on. Kassidy snapmares Hangman, clamps onto the arm and hooks a leg but Hangman throws body shots.

AEW goes picture in picture as Kassidy cranks on the cording hold. Hangman endures, fights free and gets to a corner. Kassidy storms over to stomp Hangman, then he wraps Hangman’s arm around the ropes to YANK on it! Hangman clutches that arm, bails out of the ring, Kassidy pursues and gets in Hangman’s face. Hangman pushes Kassidy back but Kassidy throws body shots. Kassidy puts Hangman’s arm between railing and pulls on it! The ref reprimands, counts, and Kassidy lets go at 4. Kassidy glares at the ref but then talks trash to the Dark Order. Kassidy goes into the ring, Hangman gets in, and Kassidy talks smack on him, only for Hangman to throw heavy hands on him!

Hangman swings, Kassidy whips but Hangman reverses to send Kassidy out of the ring! Hangman gets the bad arm working while Kassidy is down on the outside. Hangman builds speed to DIVE into an uppercut! Kassidy grins as Hangman stirs in the ring. Kassidy gets the arm, pulls it between the ropes, then slingshots to DROP onto the arm! Cover, ONE, but Kassidy SLAMS Hangman’s arm back down! Cover, ONE, so Kassidy SLAMS the arm again! Cover, TWO!! Hangman is still in this and Kassidy grows annoyed.

Kassidy reels Hangman in but Hangman suplexes to BRAIN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!!! Kassidy lives and “This is Awesome!” Hangman and Kassidy slowly stir.

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall

The Dark Order are as excited as anyone that Hangman outguns Isiah Kassidy! Matt Hardy returns to say “You chose the Dark Order over Big Money Matt Hardy!

Hardy kicks Alan Angels out of the tunnel to TOSS him into the timekeeper’s table!! The Dark Order chase after Hardy while Hangman sees what just happened. Will Hardy make everyone pay for Hangman’s gambit?

 

AEW Media finds Kenny Omega… in a workshop?

Alex Marvez wants to ask Kenny what he’s doing here but Don Callis asks Marvez what he’s doing here. This is a private work space, and this is part of a very secret plan to construct what they’re calling, “The Moxley Extermination Chamber.” Omega says if you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself. Not because Omega takes pride in his work, but because after they shred Moxley, Omega wants to know Moxley goes BOOM and BOOM and BOOM because of him! Omega will have all the credit who puts Moxley out of action for good! Back to work, boys! Marvez, get out!! Just what is the Cleaner creating specially for the Maniac?

The Dentist took care of a replacement opponent in Madi Wrenkowski while the Native Beast brutalized the Brazilian Blackbelt in Tay Conti.

The bell rings and fans rally as Britt and Nyla circle. They tie up, Nyla shoves Britt down and fans fire up! Britt gets up as Rebel coaches her, and Britt circles with Nyla again.

Will it be the former NWA Women’s Champion, Thunder Rosa, or the inaugural AEW Women’s Champion and a rival of Nyla’s, the one and only Riho, that meets the beast at the Crossroads?

 

AEW profiles Jurassic Express VS FTR & Tully Blanchard!

Dax Harwood says that FTR came to AEW with a lot of fanfare because fans have wanted to see dream matches like FTR VS The Young Bucks, FTR VS Kenny Omega & Hangman Page. Oddly enough, the one match FTR wanted most was with Jurassic Express because of the huge differences between Jurassic Express and FTR. Jungle Boy says the first time around with FTR back in the summer, FTR had to cheat to win! JB knows things could’ve been very different that night, and this rivalry has mostly gotten personal because of FTR. FTR kidnapped Marko Stunt! The audacity!

Stunt says they want to cut the horns of the beast that is Luchasaurus, but they didn’t realize that only unleased him! And then they go and kidnap “the weak link” in Stunt? Aren’t #TopGuys supposed to do #TopGuysShit? They don’t realize what they’ve done! Cash Wheeler says last week, Jurassic Express was confident because it was 3v2. But Tully wasn’t there. Tully will be here on 3/3, and when it’s 3v3, not even all three of Jurassic Express can “hold a candle” to Tully! Tully was the engine of the Four Horsemen! Him with FTR is a dream team! Luchasaurus admits Tully might be one of the best all time, but how long has it been since Tully got in the ring? “Things have changed. Times have changed.”

Dax knows it’s been since 1989, over 30 years, that Tully has wrestled in a ring. But he’s coming out of retirement just for Jurassic Express! That’s something Jurassic Express needs to have on their conscience! Even before FTR met Tully, they knew he was one of the most influential wrestlers in their career. With him by their side, they’re even greater than they already were. #TopGuysOut. But will FTR have to be the ones to #FearTheRevenge of Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy and Marko Stunt?

 

AEW has more in store for The Crossroads edition of Dynamite!

Ahead of their AEW World Tag Team Championship match, Y2MJF will have a press conference to discuss that and what they did to Papa Buck earlier tonight! Paul Wight (The Big Show) is officially All Elite, and Tony Schiavone will interview him in preparation of them cohosting the newest AEW weekly program, Dark Elevation! Then, after what went down with Big Money Matt and the Dark Order, there will be a HUGE 10 Man Tag! Hardy leads Private Party and The Hybrid2 against Evil Uno, Stu Grayson, Silver, Reynolds, and the man Hardy tossed through a table, Alan Angels! Will the Dark Order make Hardy pay before Hardy and Hangman settle up?

And to fill one of the spots in the Face of the Revolution Ladder match, the Dark Order’s Number 10, Preston Vance, goes 1v1 with The Acclaimed’s Max Caster! And of course, there will be THE AEW Women’s World Title Eliminator Finals, only one woman can face Hikaru Shida at Revolution!

Speaking of Revolution, there will be a Casino Tag Team Royale! We already know there will be Bear Country, Private Party, Top Flight, The Butcher & The Blade, Santana & Ortiz, and BOTH the Dark Order’s Uno & Stu and Reynolds & Silver! More will be announced during The Crossroads, but only one team can win a chance at the world tag team championships! And after the albeit “childish” challenge was issued, Miro and Kip have accepted! Will they force “Charles” to return “home?” Or will they get a nice serving of Freshly Squeezed Orange Punch?

 

Face of the Revolution Ladder Match Qualifier: Rey Fenix VS Lance Archer w/ Jake the Snake!

Cody Rhodes, Scorpio Sky and Fenix’s hermano, Pentagon, have already been named for this match. Another spot will be filled as the Firebird and the Murderhawk battle! Who joins an already star studded match and fight for a TNT Championship opportunity?

The bell rings and Fenix circles with Archer. They get in each other’s face, or rather Fenix in Archer’s shoulder, and Archer shoves him away. Fenix CHOPS Archer, Archer smiles, but Fenix KICKS and KICKS then dodges to mule kick. Archer blocks that last one to flip Fenix, but Fenix lands on his feet! Fenix runs but into a knee! Archer whips, Fenix goes Spiderman to heel kick but Archer deflects that to ROCK Fenix with a right! Archer whips, Fenix goes Spiderman again but the heel kick is still blocks! Fenix blocks the haymaker this time, CHOPS, blocks another haymaker and CHOPS, but Archer choke grips! Archer shoves Fenix to a corner, Fenix goes up and boots back!

Archer drags Fenix up, whips him to ropes, but Fenix holds the ropes to stop. Archer runs in but Fenix dumps him out! Fenix builds speed and DIVES! Direct hit, and Fenix tumbles off Archer into the front row! Fenix’s peers help him stay up, and he goes back to ringside after Archer.

Jake the Snake gives Fenix space at the steps as Fenix climbs up. Archer goes to the apron, Fenix climbs up, but now the Snake is lurking! Fenix stumbles and falls to the ramp! But Fenix gets up as Snake talks with Archer, and FLIES over Snake to take Archer down!! Fans are going nuts as Fenix gets up! Fenix glares at Snake, the ref has them stay apart, and Fenix goes to Archer. Fenix puts Archer against railing and CHOPS him! Archer goes around the way, Fenix CHOPS him again, but Archer CHOPS Fenix off his feet! Archer CHOPS Fenix over the railing! Fans are going nuts again as Archer paces and AEW goes picture in picture.

Archer drags Fenix up and over the railing, dumps him to ringside, but Fenix throws body shots. Archer ROCKS Fenix, puts him against the post, but Fenix moves and Archer POSTS himself! Fenix hurries up and DROPKICKS Archer down! Fenix pushes Archer into the ring, goes to the corner and aims, to springboard SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Fenix covers again, TWO! Fenix CLOBBERS Archer, covers, ONE!! Fenix ends up tumbling out of the ring from the strength of that kick-out! Fenix gets back in but Archer kicks him low and ROCKS him again! Archer whips Fenix into a corner hard and Fenix flops to the mat.

Archer CLUBS and KICKS Fenix around, stomps him around, then snarls as he covers. TWO, and Archer is annoyed. Archer rains down rights, clubbing crossface forearms, and then covers again, TWO! Archer is even more annoyed with Fenix, glares at the ref, too, then goes back to Fenix at the ropes. Archer smothers Fenix against ropes, the ref counts, but Archer twists Fenix’s neck more. Fenix flops to the apron, Archer drags him back in, and AEW returns to single picture. Fenix fights back with body shots but Archer eggs him on. Fenix CHOPS Archer, CHOPS again, but Archer kicks and ROCKS him again!

Archer paces as fans boo, and Archer drags Fenix from ropes. Archer gives more clubbing forearms, drags Fenix up, but Fenix keeps fighting! Fenix CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS, but Archer CHOPS Fenix! Choke grip but Fenix fights out! Fenix elbows, goes to the apron, goes up but gets caught! Fenix fights the choke slam off so Archer just CLOBBERS him off the apron!! Archer goes out to drag Fenix back up, and whips him hard into the railing! Snake smirks as fans are freaking out! Archer drags Fenix up to whip him even harder into the other railing! The ref wants Archer to get this in the ring, Archer drags Fenix up to ROCK him against more railing! And again! And again!

Archer gets space, runs back in, and CANNONBALLS Fenix into the railing!

Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall (advances to the Revolution Ladder Match)

What a battle just to get into the PPV ladder match! How much harder will Archer fight to make sure #EverybodyDies and he gets his shot at Darby Allin? But Archer still shows respect to Fenix by sitting him up and offering a fist bump. Fenix gives that fist bump back, will these two circle back around for another instant classic?


My Thoughts:

An awesome episode with so much action that this episode went by really fast! Moxley opens with a really good win over Nemeth and a great promo to set up his side of the AEW World Championship match at Revolution. I like that we got a quick segment from Omega later to suggest he’s going to bring out another insane looking structure like that barbed wire bed from Full Gear 2019. The Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch is definitely going to live up to that “Unsanctioned” match from Full Gear 2019, and might possibly outdo it somehow. It can go either way, but it really feels like Omega will retain so that he can keep this story of himself and everyone else in the Elite/Biz Cliz going.

Cage & Starks of course beat the Varsity Blondes but it was a pretty good match. The response from Sting and Darby was great, especially Darby ziplining in. This is like Batman and Robin or something taking on their Rogue’s Gallery. The Street Fight will be really good, but I oddly hope the rest of Team Taz stays out of it so that we can also get Darby VS Hobbs at some point, to revisit how Hobbs betrayed him to join up with Taz. Of course, Darby will also have a challenger after the Face of the Revolution Ladder match, but Darby VS Hobbs can always happen before or after that challenge. The challenge is for the TNT title, but it doesn’t have to be against Darby.

Cutler VS Hager was good, but it mostly worked as a vehicle to what The Inner Circle did to Mr. Jackson. That was some of the blatantly fake blood, but obviously Mr. Jackson wasn’t really going to bleed. They still could’ve done a bit more than paint him, though. The Bucks are definitely going to crash the “press conference” next week and that math will tell us a bit on Revolution. It would be interesting if Santana & Ortiz won the Casino Tag Team Battle Royale, then Y2MJF end up champs, giving us a new wrinkle in the Inner Circle dysfunction.

Hangman VS Kassidy was great, as was Hardy throwing Angels off the stage. Dark Order VS Team Hardy is going to be a really good go-home, and I bet Hangman helps out at some point. The interview segment with Miro & The Superbads was alright, but Chuck challenging Miro through a letter like they’re in grade school was funny. Their tag match at Revolution will be good, and I bet Trent returns through that to help his best friends beat Miro. We got a great hype package for Shaq & Jade VS Cody & Velvet, and another great one for Jurassic Express VS FearTullyReturning, and there’s a lot of other great stuff hyped up for the go-home.

Nyla VS Britt was a great match, but I am a bit surprised Britt didn’t win with cheating. The US Finals might flip the switch from Rosa VS Britt to Nyla VS Riho, another rivalry that was pretty big for the AEW Women’s Division. Maybe AEW will let Rosa’s quest for the AEW Women’s Title, NWA Women’s Title and revenge on Britt be what carries us through Spring into Summer so that by All Out 2021, she’ll have at least checked of two of those things. I’m just not sure the timing of the last few matches in the tournament. I know we get Riho VS Rosa as part of the Sunday special, but is there also going to be another Monday show on YouTube? Or is something planned for a pre-Revolution Dark? Maybe a double header on the go-home? US Finals happens, then the winner immediately has to face the Japan Finals winner?

Archer VS Fenix was awesome! Truly a match of the week contender, maybe even month. With Penta already in the ladder match, it does make some sense for Archer to win and move on. Fenix and Penta are meant to stay on the same page now that Death Triangle is possible, so pitting them against each other at Revolution would go against that. Archer also differs from the other participants so far. Cody is more technical and we have the high-flyer risk-takers in Penta and Scorpio, so Archer as a powerhouse is what changes things up. Number 10 VS Max Caster is an interesting match up that could go either way to add another interesting possibility into the match. I just hope Cody doesn’t end up winning, he doesn’t need to be dominating the TNT Division if he’s also going to be a daddy soon enough.

My Score: 9.5/10

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Will Ospreay VS Ricochet!

Wait, are the fans throwing white streamers or is that… No, yeah, it’s toilet paper! Ospreay laughs at the fans basically calling Ricochet crap. Ricochet throws the toilet paper back! The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up for Ospreay as he and Ricochet circle. The fans also sing, “F HIM UP, OSPREAY, F HIM UP!” Ricochet shrugs that off, he and Ospreay tie up, and then Ricochet rolls. Ospreay shoots in, waistlocks, but Ricochet switches. They go around, Ricochet gator rolls with Ospreay, then floats to a headlock. Ricochet wrenches, hammerlocks then headlocks again.

The fans cheer and Ospreay smiles as he and Ricochet reset. They tie up, go around, and Ricochet wrenches to a wristlock. Ospreay rolls, wrenches and wristlocks, but Ricochet spins and wrenches to hammerlock. Ospreay reaches back, headlocks and hits a takeover. Ricochet rolls to a cover, TWO! Ospreay holds onto the headlock but Ricochet powers up and out. Ospreay runs Ricochet over, Ricochet bails out, and then Ospreay handsprings to fake Ricochet out!

The fans boo Ricochet being a bad sport but Ricochet ignores that. Ospreay and Ricochet knuckle lock, then Ricochet kicks low! And CHOPS!

The fans fire up, and Ospreay arm-drags Ricochet down! The fans cheer while Ricochet endures the grind. Ricochet fights up and puts Ospreay on ropes.

Ospreay takes a swing, Ricochet ducks under to roll back and RANA! But now Ospreay handsprings through! Ricochet dodges to waistlock but Ospreay bucks the O’Conner. Ricochet arm-drags Ospreay down, but Ospreay headscissors back! Ricochet pops free but Ospreay arm-drags! Ricochet headscissors, Ospreay pops free, and Ospreay handsprings, but Ricochet catches him! Ricochet then THROWS Ospreay into the Tree of Woe, and Ospreay falls down! The fans boo while Ospreay bails out, but Ricochet FOSBURY FLOPS! The fans boo but Ricochet takes the toilet paper to wipe himself, then he SMOTHERS Ospreay with it!

The fans boo that literally disgusting act of disrespect, but Collision goes picture in picture.

Ricochet taunts the fans, then drags Ospreay up. Ricochet puts Ospreay in, soaks up more heat, then KNEE-BOARD SENTONS! Ricochet swaggers to taunt the fans more, then he goes back to Ospreay. Cover, ONE!! Another cover, TWO! Ricochet taunts the fans more, then goes back for Ospreay. Ricochet stands Ospreay up to CHOP, and Ospreay goes to a corner. Ricochet RAMS into Ospreay, RAMS him again, then snapmares to UPPERCUT in the back! Cover, TWO! Ospreay stays in this but Ricochet drags him into a motorcycle stretch. Ospreay endures while Ricochet digs a knee into the back. Ospreay fights up, fights with elbows, then runs, but into a DROPKICK!

Ospreay is down in a daze but Ricochet has to shake out the stars in his own head. Ricochet covers, ONE! Ospreay then uses that one to flip off Ricochet. Ricochet RAMS Ospreay in the back! Ricochet then clamps on with a chinlock, and he digs his knee into Ospreay’s back. Ospreay endures, even as Ricochet JAMS Ospreay. Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally for Ospreay again. Ospreay fires up, fires hands, but Ricochet RAMS him into a corner.

Ospreay draws a line in the sand and dares Ricochet to step up.

Ricochet steps right up, they stand toe to toe, literally! They start firing forearms! The fans cheer Ospreay, boo Ricochet, and Ricochet wobbles! But then Ricochet comes back with forearm after forearm! Ospreay wobbles, but he grins as he rises and roars! Ospreay fires a flurry on Ricochet, then ROCKS him!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Ospreay earns 0)

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?

 

Adam Cole heads to the ring!

The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.

MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.

When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.

Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.

Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!

In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.

But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.

But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!

Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!

But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?

 

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?

Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?

 

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.

AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.

“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?

 

Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!

As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Kris circles with Ford. They tie up, Kris powers Ford to a corner, then throws Ford back into the corner! The ref counts, Kris lets off, but Ford shoves her! Kris ROCKS Ford, TOSSES her, then runs up on her. Kris whips, drops down, then hurdles over. Kris CLOBBERS Ford and the fans fire up as she flexes.

The fans boo but Ford soaks up the heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Ford brings Kris around to THROW her into railing! Ford soaks up more heat, then drags Kris up and RAMS her into the apron! Ford refreshes the count, then stalks Kris around the way. Ford whips Kris into the steel steps! Kris falls over in a heap but Ford drags her up into the ring. Ford covers, TWO! Kris stays in this but Ford kicks her around. Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes, thrashes around, but lets off as the ref counts. Ford drags Kris up and whips her to ropes, then LARIATS as Collision goes to break.

Christmas Collision returns and Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes again! The ref counts, Ford lets off and Kris sputters to the apron. Ford runs and goes up, up, and KNEE DROPS on only apron! Kris then SHOTGUNS Ford off the apron! The fans fire up and Kris brings Ford up, to THROW into railing! Kris puts Ford in the ring, the fans fire up, but Ford kicks low. Ford reels Kris in, but Kris suplexes, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford flounders to a corner but Kris has the fans rallying behind her. Kris runs up to UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side but Ford dodges the knee! Ford hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!

Ford wasn’t quite perfect there but she watches Kris go to a corner. Ford runs corner to corner, handsprings, but Kris catches her! The fans fire up as Kris GERMAN SUPELXES, but Ford lands out! but Kris goes Matrix to dodge! So does Ford! STUNNER! Ford runs, Kris does her best to follow, but Ford hops up for a POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Ford is beside herself, but she drags Kris to a drop zone. Ford goes up top, and MOONSAULTS BUT FLOPS as Kris moves!

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall

Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!

The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?

 

Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.

They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!

And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.

But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!

The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-

Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?

 

Backstage interview with The Vendetta.

Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message  last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.

Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Mark Briscoe VS The Beast Mortos!

After getting a couple shockers, The Sussex County Chicken could easily jump up to the front of the block with one more! But will he #ManUp and bring down the menacing minotaur? Or will The Beast be a massive spoiler for Briscoe?

Julia Hart speaks.

“Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. I’m no coward. What you call tricks, I call advantages. I suggested that you watch your back. I gave you all the warnings. So I’m not understanding why you feel the need to call me classless and sneaky. I thought I was being more than reasonable. I know you’re strong, but are you smart? Are my ‘tricks’ too much for you? I guess we’ll find out January 1st, Fight for the Fallen. But remember: The House Always Wins.” The Princess of the Black Throne is ready, but will she learn Hayter Hits Hard?

 

Backstage interview with Mariah May.

Alex Marvez is with the AEW Women’s World Champion and says in one week’s time, it will be Mariah VS Thunder Rosa for the title, in a Tijuana Street Fight! Marvez notes that Mariah not only had some harsh words for Rosa, but for her father, as well. Mariah says, “Aw~, Papa Rosa is gonna be in the front row. Is that to watch the match?

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Darby Allin VS Claudio Castagnoli!

While The Relentless One has been after each and every Death Rider, he gets one served up to him on a silver platter. But will Darby bring down the Swiss Superman before the final round? Or will Claudio crush Darby’s hopes and dreams this close to Christmas?

But before Claudio even gets in the ring, Darby DIVES out onto him! The fans fire up as Darby fires fast hands! Claudio gets away but Darby pursues, jumps on, and throws more hands! Claudio carries Darby up the ramp to then THROW him down! Darby writhes, Claudio drags him up, and Claudio gorilla presses! Darby slips free, goes to the entry, and then dodges Claudio to send him into the light truss! And then he shoves Claudio into it again! Claudio falls, and now Darby climbs up!? The fans fire up as Darby is up on the camera balcony! Darby SUPER CROSSBODIES Claudio down!

Claudio tumbles down the ramp and Darby sputters while fans lose their minds. The ref checks Darby, his fall was still really wicked. Claudio sits up in a daze as he’s now ringside, and somehow Darby pursues! They both get in the ring, the bell rings, and Darby runs up! But into a POP-UP UPPERCUT!! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and Claudio is already frustrated. Claudio drags Darby by his legs, to GIANT SWING~! The fans count as Darby goes around and around, and Claudio goes past TEN, past FIFTEEN, past TWENTY, and all the way to THIRTY!!

The Swiss Superman screws over Darby, but then he gets that chair back. But wait, Ospreay slides into the ring! And HE has the brass knuckles that Claudio tossed aside! Ospreay dares Claudio to do something, but Claudio simply leaves. Does this mean Ospreay’s ready to ride against the Death Riders with Darby? Or will we see a Miracle on 34th Street send Ospreay and Darby to Worlds End?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision here as the last one before Worlds End, and therefore a bit of a go-home in itself. While the continued feud of MJF and Cole has still been a bit clunky since they did the double turn, their faceoff did a good job addressing some of that. They got good digs at each other as always, and MJF snapping and revealing “the truth” was their big move to recover this story. We of course got a brawl, and good save by The Kingdom. It feels like MJF still finds a way to hold onto the diamond ring, but c’mon, how fitting is it for Cole to get a diamond.

Good bit with Toni Storm and The Vendetta, and Deonna’s reaction to Toni was great. Deonna is justified in thinking this is still an act from Toni, not a legitimate psychological problem, and Toni VS Taya will be good stuff. Good promo from Kris Statlander, good match from her and Penelope Ford, and of course a good win for Kris. Good promo from Mone to make Worlds End official, but as I’ve been saying, Mone is more likely to lose the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship as part of the big NJPW Tokyo Dome weekend. The irony is, Mina Shirakawa is her challenger and Mina shows up plenty in AEW, so I don’t know how that math is supposed to work.

Good promo from Mariah May as it also turned into a brawl with Thunder Rosa. As it stands, Rosa standing tall holding up the belt means she is NOT winning at Worlds End, but they could still give us a little more from Rosa and Mariah on Dynamite’s Christmas episode to turn the tables. Good promo from Julia Hart to respond to Jamie Hayter, they’ll have a good match. Good promo from Orange Cassidy to try and reason with Jay White and Hangman Page, but that’s all the more reason Moxley likely uses the challengers all against each other like he did on Wednesday. Though, it would be fun if they at least started the match all annihilating Moxley with their finishers, making us think it’ll work out in favor of “Team AEW.”

Good stuff with Big Boom AJ & Big Justice here tonight, both hyping up the show but also interacting with Jericho’s group and even Anthony Bowens. They’re adding some more foreshadowing to The Acclaimed breaking up, and I guess we’re supposed to see this as a positive move, Bowens feuding with Jericho. Unless Bowens is going to be the guy that dethrones Jericho for whatever ROH cable TV debut/return is planned, the Jericho Vortex strikes again. Bowens should be going for an AEW midcard title, but right now, those are all tied up what with the C2 going on and the International Championship being tied up in Worlds End and NJPW plans.

Speaking of the C2, great stuff with all the matches tonight. Shelton VS Garcia was great stuff, and while Garcia gets the win, they’re still giving us some set-up for a TNT Championship match of Garcia VS Shelton. Mark Briscoe of course made the save, but great surprise for Swerve to show up. Lashley VS Swerve for Worlds End just needs to be said, it already feels a given. All that brawling was also a good segue into Mark VS Mortos, and another great showing for Mortos, even in losing. But as Mark has already had all his matches and is at 9 points, Kyle doesn’t even need to win against Garcia, he just needs to draw so that Mark will be out, and Garcia with him.

While Ospreay VS Darby on Wednesday raised the bar, Ospreay VS Ricochet still had great stuff of its own. Plus, Ricochet is bringing out more of his Heel side what with using the ref, and Ricochet’s win puts the pressure on Ospreay for Christmas Dynamite. Now, no offense to Brody King, but I’m thinking Ospreay wins that to take one of the semifinal spots. Darby VS Claudio tonight was also great, but Darby doing his best Sting off the truss was not the best when he gets that whiplash on the floor. I really thought that match was going to be called for concussion protocol, but Darby’s weirdly indestructible.

Claudio still cheats this win so there’s more heat on the Death Riders and Darby is also behind the 8 ball. Ospreay making the save was good, we can definitely have another “Team AEW” VS Death Riders with Ospreay joining Darby and a couple others, but the way they did the order of matches, Claudio’s got a seemingly easy ride against Komander for Christmas. Though, how awesome would it be if Komander pulled off the spoiler? Or if they were really going to add some drama, they should create a situation where the Death Riders end up ringside, violating the Continental Rules of no cornermen and that disqualifies Claudio. Claudio misses out on the semifinals because of a technicality, sending Ospreay and maybe Ricochet to the semifinals.

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!

Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!

Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!

Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!

And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?

Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!

The teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.

Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs even gets Konosuke to back down with a glare. Hobbs brings Cage up to fire forearms, then he tags Davis. Davis & Hobbs double whip and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up as Davis stalks Cage to a corner. Davis CHOPS Cage, and CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! Cage sputters but Davis scoops to SLAM Cage down! Then ELBOW DROP! Cover, ONE! Cage stays in this but Davis bumps him off buckles.

Tag to Hobbs and he brings Cage out. Hobbs and Davis reel Cage in, fans chant “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! MEAT MEAT MEAT!” but Konosuke makes the save! Konosuke swings, Hobbs dodges, so the elbow DECKS Davis! Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke, Cage ROCKS Hobbs! Cage clinches, Konosuke returns, KNEE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Cage covers, TWO! Cage rains down fists, the ref reprimands, but Cage steps off. Cage drags Hobbs up, bumps him off buckles, and tags Konosuke. The Callis Family stomps a mudhole into Hobbs, but then Hobbs CHOPS Konosuke! Konosuke snarls, and he CHOPS in return!

Konosuke ROCKS Hobbs, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count but then Konosuke BITES Hobbs on the forehead! The ref counts, Konosuke lets off, and Hobbs sputters on the ropes. Konosuke tags to Cage and the Family gets Hobbs up. They DOUBLE SUPLEX Hobbs! Cage covers, TWO! Cage drags Hobbs up but Hobbs fires body shots. Hobbs UPPERCUTS but Cage ROCKS Hobbs! Cage ROCKS Hobbs again, Hobbs fires back, repeat! The fans rally for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Cage gets the edge, then whips, but Hobbs KICKS him away! Cage swings, Hobbs bobs ‘n’ weaves, to then hit an EXPLODER!

The fans fire up while Hobbs crawls, hot tag to Davis! Davis fires hands on Cage, “MEAT! MEAT!” Davis DECKS Cage, then whips him to ropes. Cage reveres but Davis picks him up, BACKDROP! Davis SENTONS but onto knees! Davis writhes, Cage tags Konosuke! POWER- NO, Davis stops the knee! Davis takes a swing but Konosuke ducks that, to BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! High stack, TWO!! Davis survives and Konosuke snarls, but Rampage goes picture in picture.

Konosuke rains down fists on Davis, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Konosuke tags Cage and Cage drags Davis up. Cage ROCKS Davis, whips him into a corner, and Davis hits buckles chest first! Cage RAMS into Davis, and RAMS in again, then CHOPS! Davis staggers but Cage whips him to ropes. Davis reverses, to dosido with Cage, only for Cage to CLOBBER Davis! Cage BOOTS Davis down, covers, but Hobbs breaks it! Cage gets mad and the ref reprimands Hobbs, then Cage soaks up heat from DC. Cage stalks Davis to a corner and fires haymakers! The ref reprimands but Cage DECKS Davis! Cage soaks up more heat while he flexes.

Holiday Bash returns to single picture while Davis crawls. Cage storms over but Davis fires hands! Davis CHOPS, CHOPS, but Cage JUMP KNEES! Cage whips Davis, Davis cartwheels and swings on Cage! Cage blocks, waistlocks, but Davis switches! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Davis rises and reaches out! Davis crawls, as does Cage, hot tags to Hobbs and Konosuke! Hobbs LARIATS Konosuke, LARIATS again, then runs up to LARIAT in a corner! Cage runs up but he’s send into Konosuke! Hobbs SANDWEICHES the Family! Hobbs whips, Cage reverses, but Hobbs comes back to CLOBBER him! Hobbs scoops Cage for a POWERSLAM!

The fans fire up but Konosuke runs up! Hobbs scoops him, too! POWERSLAM! Hobbs pumps up and the fans are with him! Hobbs stomps and shakes the ropes, then he goes back for Konosuke.

Cover, Davis blocks Cage, but Cage SHOVES Davis onto the cover! Cage then TOSSES Davis out, and he goes back for Hobbs. Hobbs TOSSES Cage! Hobbs grins as he has Konosuke alone. The straps come down, and Hobbs runs up, only for Konosuke to dodge!

Konosuke runs, Cage tags in, and Konosuke BOOTS Hobbs in the corner! Cage runs up to UPPERCUT, GAMANGIRI, and then GERMAN SUPLEX! Hobbs flounders, Cage hauls him up, PUMP HANDLE FACEBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!! Hobbs survives and Cage is furious! Cage tags Konosuke, the Family gets Hobbs up, and they double wrench to double whip. But Hobbs breaks the double lariat and Davis tags in!

But not for long as they both roar to their feet!

Konosuke swings, and he SWATS Davis’ enzigiri! Konosuke then POWER DRIVE KNEES!! And then, RAGING FIRE!! Cover, Callis Family wins!

Winners: Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage, by pinfall

The Alpha slam dunks on Dunkzilla, and now he has 8 days to prepare for the Powerhouse! Will Konosuke hold onto his International Championship against Hobbs? Or will taking that title be the perfect payback?

 

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.

Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?

 

Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!

The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?

The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles. Myles fights back with forearms and CHOPS! Myle runs, but Lio & Action split the difference. Lio spins Myles for Action to mule kick, knee lift and ROLLING ELBOW! Lio fires fast hands, then DECKS Myles! Goldy springboards but Lio & Action dodge! Lio eggs Goldy on, then he and Action split the difference again!

Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!

Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall

Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?

 

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…

Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?

Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!

The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again. Willow puts Harley in a corner, the ref counts, and Willow lets off. DC duels between Willow and Harley, and Harley wants a Test of Strength. Willow accepts the knuckle locks, but then Harley kicks low! Harley runs, wheelbarrows, but Willow turns that into a BIG back suplex! The fans cheer as Willow runs, DIVING BODY PRESS! Cover, TWO! Willow bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!

Willow brings Harley out with a smile, and scoop SLAMS her! Harley flounders, Willow storms up on her for another scoop and SLAM, right as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Willow storms around while Harley staggers up. Willow scoops Harley again, then carries her around to put her in the Tree of Woe! Willow stomps a mudhole in, then lets off to run up! But Harley BOOTS her while upside-down! Harley gets free, ELBOWS Willow, then runs to knee her low! Harley runs with Willow to HOTSHOT BULLDOG! Willow is stuck in ropes, and Harley AX KICKS her! Harley then headscissors Willow to CHOKE her in the ropes! The ref counts, Harley lets go at 4, and Harley soaks up cheers and jeers from DC. Harley stomps Willow, then drags her to the outside. Harley SMACKS Willow off the apron!

Harley paces while Willow flounders, and Harley has her against railing. Harley CHOPS Willow, then brings her around. Willow blocks the bump to SMACK Harley off the apron! Harley turns things around to SMACK Willow off the apron! Harley shoves Willow in, storms up on her, and stands her up for buckle bumps. Harley stomps Willow, digs her boots in, and she thrashes around! The ref counts, Harley lets off at 4, but Willow elbows her in return! Harley RAMS into Willow again and again, but Willow CLUBS Harley! Harley ROCKS Willow, whips her to ropes, and ELBOWS Willow down! Harley soaks up more cheers and jeers while Rampage goes to break.

Holiday Bash returns and Willow CANNONBALLS, but Harley dodges! Willow hits only buckles and she hobbles after Harley. Harley kicks, KNEES, and ENZIGIRIS! Harley roars, runs, and SHINING WIZARDS! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but Harley grows frustrated. The fans rally while Harley waistlocks, but Willow switches! Harley kicks free to switch back, but Willow ELBOWS Harley back! Willow fireman’s carries, storms around, but Harley pops up! Harley fires down elbows, then victory rolls, TWO! Willow escapes and ROCKS Harley! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!

Harley survives but Willow roars! The fans fire up as the straps come down! Willow gut wrenches for the BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall

Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?

 

Team Triple J speaks backstage.

Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?

 

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!

While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Komander circle while the fans bark it up. There are fans who sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~” for Komander as the two tie up. But then Brody picks Komande up with both hands, and puts him on the to rope. Brody pats Komander on the shoulder, and the fans bark more. Komander hops down, not intimidated by Brody’s size. Komander then dodges Brody, DROPKICKS him, but Brody CLOBBERS Komander on the return! Brody eggs Komander on and then scuffs him. Komander gets mad and CHOPS! Brody grins and eggs Komander on. Komander CHOPS, but Brody wants more!

Komander fires up to CHOP, but Brody CHOPS Komander down! The fans fire up and Brody grins. Komander sputters, Brody paces, and Brody drags Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander again! Brody bumps Komander off buckles, CHOPS again, and Komander flounders away! Brody stalks Komander to the corner, CHOPS him again, and Komander falls over! Brody hauls Komander up, whips him, but Komander goes up and over! Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Brody BACKDROPS Komander! The fans bark while Komander writhes, and Brody drags Komander up. But Komander fires body shots and a CHOP!

Brody KNEES low and Komander drops. Brody CHOPS Komander again! Brody asks, “Are you done?!” Brody whips Komander, but Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges to then springboard, but Brody catches Komander with ease! Brody pops Komander up, but Komander pops free, sunset flip, ONE!! Brody drags Komander up and CLUBS him! Komander wobbles, Brody ROCKS him again! Brody drags Komander off the ropes, suplexes, but Komander slips around! SLEEPER! Big men still have to breathe, but Brody RAMS Komander into the buckles! Brody swings, misses, and that bad hand hits post! Komander fires KICKS on the legs!

Komander bobs ‘n’ weaves, kicks, mule kicks and ENZIGIRIS! Brody wobbles and the fans rally up! Komander knuckle locks, CHOPS, and he goes up and up and jumps around! But Brody breaks the grip and DOUBLE CHOPS Komander to the floor! The fans bark it up and the ref checks Komander while Rampage goes picture in picture.

Brody storms out after Komander, who is somehow still in this. Brody drags Komander up, and he whips Komander hard into railing! Brody revels in the DC dogs barking, and Brody stands Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander off his feet, then refreshes the ring count. Brody drags Komander up, and whips him hard into railing! So hard, in fact, that Komander goes up and over! Brody hurries to haul Komander back up, and he suplexes Komander to the floor! Komander writhes more while Brody refreshes the count again. Brody goes back to Komander, scuffs him, and brings him back up.

Komander KICKS Brody, CHOPS, but Brody CHOPS him down! Brody revels in the noise from DC while he stands on Komander’s neck! The ref reprimands, Brody steps off and rolls into the ring. Brody again refreshes the count so he can fetch Komander. Brody puts Komander in the ring, covers, TWO! Komander is still in this but Brody is more amused than anything. Brody paces then brings Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander to a corner, then revels in the noise a bit more. Brody then digs his boot into Komander, but lets off as the ref counts. Brody drags Komander up to CHOP, but Komander CHOPS! Brody CHOPS Komander down!

Brody digs his boots in again, but the ref counts. Brody steps away, then drags Komander to his feet. Brody ROCKS Komander as the Holiday Bash returns to single picture. Brody eggs Komander on, stands him up, and ROCKS him again! Komander flops against ropes but Brody dares him to keep fighting. Komander staggers up, but Brody CHOPS him! Komander is stinging but Brody ROCKS him! Brody whips, Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges to QUEBRADA, but Brody catches him! But Komander slips down into the STANDING BONE LOCK! The fans fire up but Brody powers up! Brody THROWS Komander right off! SENTON FLOPS as Komander moves!

Komander hurries to basement DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Brody and Komander both crawl to ropes! They both stand, Brody runs up, but Komander swings around, CRUCIFIX DRIVER! Brody flops out to the floor! Komander sees that and the fans fire up! Komander builds going side to side, and he goes up and up and CROSSBODIES, but Brody catches him! Brody RAMS Komander into the railing! And then whips him hard into more railing! Brody makes Komander take a seat, then CHOPS him!

Brody is in the drop zone again and Komander rises! 450 SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and Komander cannot believe it! “This is Awesome!” as Komander rises and goes to another corner. Komander tunes up the band, runs corner to corner, but Brody SLAPS him first! Brody runs but Komander dodges, Brody POSTS himself! Komander is on the apron and he runs up, to SHOTGUN Brody to the floor! Brody sputters, Komander climbs the corner, and the fans are thunderous! Komander springboards to ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Another direct hit and Komander feels so close to his first points in the C2!

Komander hurries to get in the ring, but then slides out to start a new ring count. Komander climbs again while Brody rises. Komander watches Brody slide in, then tightrope walks to CIELITO LINDO!! But that was on Brody’s back! Komander pushes Brody but that’s a lot of dead weight to push! Brody sits up but Komander KICKS him! Komander roars, the fans fire up, handspring- TORTURE RACK! Brody flips Komander around, GONZO BOMB!! Cover, Brody wins!!

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)

If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?


My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.

Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.

And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.

My Score: 8.8/10
