Sammy doesn’t even stick around to celebrate, he wants nothing to do with Maxwell Jacob Friedman taking his place beside Jericho. But will Jericho be the first to have held both AEW World and AEW Tag Team Championships in his career?

AEW takes a closer look at Jade Cargill.

Tall. Strong. Agile. And only getting better with each passing moment. Will Jade strike the American Nightmare and Red Velvet down at the Revolution?

AEW returns with Tony Schiavone in the ring!

Schiavone introduces the TNT Champion, Darby Allin! And of course, his partner in the AEW Revolution Street Fight, it’s STIIIIIING~! But before going to the Street Fight, Darby is going to defend his AEW TNT Championship against the Bad Boy, Joey Janela! Team Taz interrupts from the titantron! Taz wants to explain something! They’re stuck outside the building and that costs them a pretty penny, just because they went after some merchandise staffers last week. They’re being punished! But Taz says Darby is defending that “pretty” title against Janela, but Team Taz will be watching very closely! They might even get close up and personal!

Ricky Starks says it doesn’t matter if Sting is there. If Team Taz was allowed in the building, Starks would tell Sting he isn’t the man he used to be! Sting isn’t the icon anymore! And like Starks said before, Darby and Sting will get hurt playing in the jungle. But good luck, Darby, you’ll need it. Schiavone lets Sting respond on the mic. “Okay, Team Taz. You say that you’re gonna be here next week for Darby’s title match, and I gotta let you know, I’m gonna be here, as well.” Sting will keep this fair as 1v1 and not Darby VS everyone underneath Taz. Secondly, Starks says he doesn’t see the icon in Sting’s eyes anymore? Maybe Starks just needs to take a closer look. Will Team Taz get an eyeful come the Revolution Street Fight?

Thunder Rosa VS Britt Baker w/ Rebel!

After weeks of back and forth, both with trash talk and ambush attacks, we finally have this grudge match the Role Model never wanted! Will Britt have to check her teeth after this fight with the former NWA Women’s World Champion?

AEW shares an exclusive interview from after last week’s Dynamite.

Matt Hardy was just as upset as the Dark Order and Hangman Page about Chaos Project trying to ruin Negative One’s birthday party. Hardy asked Tony Khan for a match against Chaos Project, with Hangman as his partner. Khan of course said it would be on Hangman to accept that proposal. Hangman has, and Schiavone asks Hardy his intentions. There are no secret intentions. Hardy is a good man, and he is a friend of Hangman’s from even before Stadium Stampede and before AEW. They’re good ol’ Carolina boys and probably have great chemistry. Hangman says Hardy simply offered Hardy his dressing room. This isn’t about becoming a tag team or being a client.

Hardy says that’s fine, he has no ulterior motives. He’s just worried about Hangman. A week ago, Chaos Project ruined Brodie Jr’s party. That didn’t sit right with either of them. So what if they, for one night only, teamed up to kick Chaos Project’s ass? Wouldn’t that help make things right between Hangman and the Dark Order? Hangman says yes, and so the match is made! And it’s next!

Hangman Page & Matt Hardy VS Chaos Project!

As it stands, this Carolina connection is for one night only, in this one match against Luther and Serpentico! Will they make the Original Death Dealer and SNAKEMAN pay for bullying a boy at his birthday party?

AEW returns as Chaos Project enters the ring. The teams sort out and Serpentico starts and goes right after Hardy! Hardy DECKS Serpentico, bumps him off buckles over an dover, then rams his shoulder in! The ref counts but Hardy says, “This is for Brodie Jr!” Hardy DECKS Serpentico, wrenches his arm and yanks on the arm. Tag to Hangman, Hardy whips and elbows Serpentico, Hangman hits a standing shooting star! Cover, TWO! Serpentico flounders, Hangman CHOPS him to a corner! Hangman whips corner to corner, runs in to corner clothesline, then snap suplexes! Cover, TWO!

Hangman wrenches, tags Hardy, and Hardy hops up to drop ax handles! Hardy wrenches Serpentico but Serpentico ROCKS him! Serpentico headlocks, Hardy powers out but Luther tags in. Hardy gives Serpentico a SIDE EFFECT, but Luther CLOBBERS Hardy! Luther stomps Hardy, bumps him off buckles then CHOPS him! Luther whips Hardy corner to corner, tags in Serpentico, and Serpentico whips Luther for Luther to whip Serpentico into Hardy! Luther then runs in to SPLASH them both! Luther throws Hardy down, then scoops Serpentico to SLAM him down for the cover! TWO! Serpentico keeps on Hardy with clubbing forearms, and tags in Luther.

Luther goes after Hardy, scoop slams him, then tags Serpentico in. Serpentico goes up, leaps, but the Swanton FLOPS! Hardy hurries, hot tag to Hangman! Hangman rallies on Chaos Project, then dodges Serpentico to scoop him, for a FALL AWAY SLAM! Hangman then PLANCHAS Luther for good measure! Hangman keeps moving, Serpentico dodges the clothesline but not the SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Hardy sees Luther and ROCKS him to toss him! Hangman drags Serpentico up, fireman’s carry, but Serpentico fights free! But into the ROLLING ELBOW! Hangman goes to the apron but Luther trips him! Luther then CANNONBALLS from the apron, but Hangman dodges!

Hangman aims at Serpentico, BUCK SHOT! Hardy tags in, covers, they still win!

Winners: Matt Hardy & Hangman Page, by pinfall

Big Money Matt has a big ego, but Hangman still raises his hand in victory! It’s just the one night, after all. But will Hardy try to sell Hangman on making this a regular thing?

AEW’s Alex Marvez finds Y2MJF backstage.

The new contenders are already celebrating becoming the future Le Champions of the World! Peace out, MARK-vez! They’ve got bubbly for the boys! Party time~! The Inner Circle did it! Really? Because just Jericho and MJF are contenders. But they’re all in this together! Are they? Of course! So okay, everyone else got thrown out before the end, but it’s collateral damage. Oh, collateral damage? Why are they always collateral damage? Jericho says they’re all in this together, but sometimes Sammy isn’t sure. Sammy storms out and Jericho goes to talk with him. MJF tells the boys that this is time to have a conversation. Wardlow, have the cameraman leave. Wardlow closes the door, what is MJF going to tell Hager, Santana and Ortiz?!

AEW presents the Superbad Wedding!

Finally, after rubbing their love in our faces for over a year, Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford are going to tie the knot! Schiavone is backstage with the Superbad Groom, his Best Man, and their butler, “Charles.” Schiavone congratulates Kip on the big night. Kip says Schiavone is so lucky to have this exclusive with him, Miro and Chuck. Look at all of them, huh? Miro is married, Schiavone is married, Kip’s about to be married, and Chuck hasn’t had a girlfriend ever. But then Vickie Guerrero comes over to say it’s time. They head out, and presiding over this occasion is a rather “sinister minister,” James Mitchell!

Vickie helps walk Kip to the ring, Miro just behind and then Chuck even further behind. And then with the traditional “Here Comes the Bride” on organ, it’s the Superbad Bride, with Jerry Lynn giving her away. Minister Mitchell says, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here tonight at AEW Dynamite’s Beach Break, to celebrate the joining of these two souls, Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford, in the bonds of UNHOLY matrimony!” It’s his gimmick, relax. The marital vows are sacred and not to be taken lightly. Now, Kip and Penelope will share personal vows.

Kips is first and he tells Penelope and says from the first moment he saw that one piece and knee high boots, and as his eyes locked with her chest, he knew this was meant to be. Kip promises to cherishes her forever cuz she is beautiful on the inside and DAMN HOT on the outside! Penelope takes her turn, and tells Kip “baby,” that she loves him so much. He has the biggest- Whoa, she doesn’t need to share that. He knows she loves him and is handsome and that she can’t wait to spend the rest of her life with him. Well alright. Moving on, it is the exchange of the rings. Please present the rings.

Charles brings them out of his pocket, Miro hands them to Kip. Kip takes one ring, wipes away a tear, and Minister Mitchell asks if he takes this “alluring creature” to be his lawfully wedded wife, to have and to grope in sickness and in health, for richer and poorer, kayfabing all others, for as long as they both shall live? Kip does. He places the ring on her finger. Penelope, do you take this “dashing rapscallion,” to be her lawfully wedded husband, to have and to grope in sickness and in health, for richer and poorer, kayfabing all others for as long as they both show live? Penelope does. Then if there is anyone in this building who feels that this-

No no no no no! Miro’s been there himself, this isn’t happening. Smart! Then let’s close this deal. By the power vested in Minister Mitchell by AEW Dynamite and Tony Khan, he now pronounces them man and wife. Now kiss your ball and chain. And they definitely kiss. Let’s hear it for the newlyweds! Fans cheer, and Mitchell wants us all to join the Best Man, Miro, in a toast. Miro has the mic, and tells Chuck to serve champagne. Everyone else, shut up, this is his time. Miro takes a glass, hands it to Penelope, then one to Kip. Chuck is working so Miro takes his and then another.

“Kip, I was there just a few years ago when I had a couple weddings myself.” Miro knows what this is about: love. But what is love? It may not have been a great bachelor party, there may not be many presents, but Miro IS Kip’s present. Miro’s knowledge, power and intensity are Kip’s presents! Speaking of, what is that over there? It’s been driving him nuts. It’s huge. Chuck says that’s from him? Well hey, how great, Mr. Charles. But Miro has been through weddings before, and he knows all the tricks! Miro attacks the box, thinking someone is hiding inside! Oh, it was just a bunch of tissue? Well, alright. Chuck, clean that up. No more presents from you.

Miro continues to say, “What is love?” Fans start singing, “Baby don’t hurt me! Don’t hurt me, no more~!” Miro gets into it, but then says NO! This is over, this is his time! Let’s have cake! But then Miro finds out he’s cuffed to the ropes!! Chuck snuck that in! Chuck DECKS Kip, Kip bumps Penelope, and she falls into the cake! Now it’s a wrestling wedding! Miro still grabs Chuck, Kip runs over, but Chuck ducks and Kip hits Miro! Miro barely budges but Kip still apologizes. Penelope goes after Chuck! She hops on for a sleeper, Kip kicks Chuck in the gut, and Miro swipes as he can. Kip stomps Chuck down and shouts, “You ruined everything!”

But out of the cake, it’s ORANGE CASSIDY! Freshly Squeezed was the cake all along! And then Chuck uses the champagne bucket to SMACK Kip! Miro is stuck as Cassidy Gives Kip the BEACH BREAK! How fitting. And best of all, Chuck is free! His deal was only until the wedding was done, and it is done! Will Best Friends make sure the Best Man and the Superbads don’t enjoy the honeymoon period?

AEW has BREAKING NEWS!

Last Thursday, during Inside the NBA on TNT, Shaq called out “Cupcake Cody” and told him he’ll beat Cody like he did Charles Barkley. Shaq’s going to wrestle Cody? The others don’t believe him, but Shaq is doing it. Him and Jade VS Cody and “Red Pumpkin Pie.” But Cody’s from a famous wrestling family. That doesn’t matter to Shaq, he’ll whip him. Shane Mosley got a bit more than he expected so maybe Shaq can do it. Shaq’s finisher will be the Black Tornado. He demonstrates on Plexiglas, he takes the ball and turns to really lay in that elbow, followed up by a clothesline! That’s what’ll happen to the cupcake. But bigger than that, this won’t wait for Revolution, this will be on DYNAMITE! March 3rd, mark it down on your calendars!

AEW hears from FTR.

They were banned from the Tag Team Battle Royal for what they did to Luchasaurus and tried to do to Jungle Boy, but now they seem upset. Cash Wheeler says, “Jack, please. Please tell me that you and your dumbass dinosaur did not run to the principal’s office, and tattle and get us suspended like we’re in middle school.” Tully Blanchard says that’s what happened. They #FearTheRevelation! Everyone is afraid of FTR, and when they’re together, that’s what happened. First, Tully isn’t allowed in the tag title match. Then, two guys are cuffed to the dinosaur. Where is this going to stop? Now they miss out on the battle royal where they could’ve gotten a title shot?!

All they want is a championship match! “The best tag team, what does it take?!” Wait, is there someone muffled screaming? Dax Harwood tells Jack that FTR aren’t bad guys. But sometimes, they think, “What would bad men do?” THEY HAVE MARKO STUNT AS A HOSTAGE! Tully pats Stunt’s head, but what will FTR do to him if they don’t get what they consider #FairTReatment?

Joey Janela speaks.

“Darby Allin, we have a long history of mangling ourselves for what we love. Hell, we have a long history, Darby, of mangling each other.” But next week’s Dynamite, the stakes have never been so high! Bad Boy VS Relentless for the TNT Championship! But guess what? Joey Janela’s back, and the future TNT Champion is going to be a bad, bad boy.

Six Man Tag: Jon Moxley, PAC & Rey Fenix VS Kenny Omega & The Good Brothers w/ Don Callis!

What was meant to be Death Triangle getting payback for the #BizCliz punking them out has now become the Maniac joining forces with the Bastard and the Firebird for a common goal! Moxley wants payback for what the Cleaner did to take the world title from him, while Pac and Fenix are going to avenge Penta El Zero M! Will keeping your friends close or your enemies closer be what wins out tonight?

My Thoughts:

Wow, what an insane episode! Opening with the tag team battle royal was natural, and it was a brilliant move for Good Brothers to show up to not just cost Private Party but also Young Bucks. This ties together both the story building on Impact Wrestling but also what’s going on with the Bucks, Omega and Good Brothers here on AEW. I almost thought they were going to go a different direction with the Inner Circle story for just a second, because of how Jericho said any two of them makes a great combination, and it came down to him, Sammy and Darius Martin of Top Flight. If Darius went out, I would’ve thought they could claim Le Sex Gods are the winning team. But Sammy goes out first, Y2MJF get the title shot, and MJF is definitely going to usurp the faction from Jericho, leaving Sammy as Jericho’s only ally. It might happen when Y2MJF loses the tag title match and that is the “last straw.”

They also cleverly used last week as a way to keep FTR out of the battle royal while extending the feud with Jurassic Express. FTR had a good promo, Stunt being their hostage was a great twist, and I hope we get a killer tag match for at least the go-home to Revolution. Speaking of, the go-home having Shaq & Jade VS Cody & Red Velvet is actually a great move. It gets AEW ratings, and leaves space on the Revolution card for something else, maybe even something relating to the Women’s Title Eliminator Tournament. The bracket looks great, and I would love if we end up with Jay VS Tay for the US semifinals to add some drama to their friendship. And while they did announce Deeb VS Riho as an opening round match, I actually hope they change that since the bracket wasn’t filled out.

Britt VS Rosa was a great match, but of course Rebel is why Britt wins. I hope the other US semifinal is the rematch so that Rosa can win and get to the US bracket finals and then to the finals and become a contender. We got an okay promo segment to plug the Revolution Street Fight, but it was all just Sting for his side. The Street Fight is going to be really good, but the build is still lacking. Janela had a good promo, his match with Darby is going to be a lot of fun. Hardy and Hangman in the tag match was pretty good, and it’s good progress in their story, I hope we get the Dark Order asking Hangman what’s going on.

As wrestling weddings go, tonight’s was good. It made natural references to what the WWE has done, especially with Miro, and it worked out at least because Cassidy came out of the cake. I’m thinking we get Chuck & Cassidy VS Miro & Kip for at least the go-home to make that an even bigger night. The lumberjack match was a lot of fun, Archer and Kingston are now 1-1 I believe, so I hope we get a tiebreaker at some point. Archer also getting involved after that amazing Six Man Tag is great reference to his past in NJPW with Bullet Club. Bullet Club winning the Six Man was a bit of a surprise, but I suppose they really couldn’t afford to lose since they’re all champions.

KENTA showing up was a genius move because it means AEW accepts that Bullet Club is for life, and that Moxley will be working with NJPW still because he is still their US Champion. If anyone was doubting Kenta VS Moxley happening on NJPW Strong being all that good, this just made it feel like a big time match!

My Score: 9.5/10
