Tag Career on the Line: SoCal Uncensored VS The Sydal Brothers!

Pressure makes diamonds, and right now Kaz and Daniels are shining! Will the Addiction be just as unbreakable and get the AEW Tag Team Championship gold?
My Thoughts:
At just under two hours, this was another good Dark. I will say, with the coming of Dark Elevation, I hope Tuesday Darks don’t have to be as long anymore. Elevation will probably have the more meaningful matches that are meant to advance story from Dynamite, as well as the matches that are more than just established name(s) VS jobber(s). I don’t know what that’ll mean for Tuesday Darks in my schedule, and the fact that Elevation is going to be on Mondays means I won’t get to it right away (though, I don’t even do that with Tuesday Dark), but it might make things a little easier in the long run. Plus, for normal viewers who just watch these programs, I would think it’s much easier to have one hour one night, then the other hour another night.
All that said, I really liked Stu VS JD, those guys can really throw hands and move around. Stu winning in singles and Uno winning in a trios match proves the Dark Order OG can get it done no matter what situation they’re in, and establishes that the Dark Order really can dominate all divisions. Caster and Vance had good matches, and it makes a lot of sense for Vance to have an easier time with his opponent than Caster did with his. But the newest Acclaimed music video was a lot of fun. Vance VS Caster could honestly go either way, but given who is already in the Face of the Revolution Ladder match, I feel like Archer is more than enough powerhouse for it, so that Caster might get the win off Bowens interfering. Plus, imagine the great diss raps Caster could come up with when he has Pentagon, Scorpio Sky, Lance Archer and Cody Rhodes to go after.
My Score: 8/10

- AEW TNT Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Daniel Garcia VS Kyle Fletcher; Fletcher wins and will challenge Adam Cole for the title at All In: Texas.
PLAY BY PLAY
Adam Cole is here!
Ontario, California fires up for the Panama City Playboy, and he brings his AEW TNT Championship to the ring. The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Story Time with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Now, the reason he has a giant smile is because this is the 100th episode of Collision! The strides that Collision has made in such a short time is impressive. Cole wants to thank the fans. AEW has the best wrestlers on the planet delivering some of the best matches we’ve ever seen, and dammit, these are the best fans he has ever been in front of!
“AEW is built on the future, and I’m excited about the future. Because right now, I am your TNT Champion, and this title is going nowhere. I am proud of where Collision has been, and I’m proud of where it is going. I am proud to represent TNT as your TNT Champion. I am proud about our future. In 2025 and beyond, I will hold onto this championship, because dammit, I’m Adam Cole, Baybay. And that is undisputed.” The fans cheer, but here comes Kyle Fletcher! The fans are torn as the Protostar has a mic to say, “Pardon the interruption, Adam, but I just wanted to personally congratulate everybody, and especially you, on such a huge milestone. 100 episodes of Collision, that’s huge!
“And you’ve had a fantastic run as the Face of TNT. But the next 100 episodes of Collision and the entire future of this company belong to ME.” The fans are torn on that, too, but Kyle says Cole loves to do story time. How about story time with the Protostar? Now, does Cole remember All In 2023? Of course he does! He main-evented the biggest pro-wrestling show of all time for the AEW World Championship. But earlier that night, he faced a young ‘n’ hungry Kyle Fletcher for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. And while that was the greatest night of Cole’s life, that was the WORST night of Kyle’s!
Cole took away the biggest accomplishment of Kyle’s life, purely to stroke his own ego. But now, Kyle stands here a totally different man. Kyle KILLED that version of Kyle to stand here the most perfect pro-wrestler in the world! Again, the fans are torn, but Kyle says he wants nothing more than to make Cole feel exactly how he did two years ago. So at All In: Texas, Globe Life Field, Kyle wants his shot at HIS TNT Champions! The fans like where this is going! Kyle says everyone int he world knows no one is more deserving of that shot! But wait! Daniel Garcia makes his way out here! The fans cheer as Daniel Garcia joins Kyle on stage.
Garcia asks, “What’s good, Ontario?” And he hears all this talk about the past of Collision, the future of Collision, the future of AEW, the TNT title, but when you talk about those things, you better bring up one name: Daniel Garcia. Now, Fletcher, their match is the main event. Garcia isn’t looking past Kyle, but he would be lying if he said he wasn’t a little distracted. Because when Garcia looks in the ring, he sees the man who beat him for the TNT Championship and that belt over his shoulder. Garcia can only think one thing to himself: “I need that.” Cole says he has all the respect for Garcia, and any time, any place that Garcia wants his shot, he’s got it.
But do not forget, Cole beat him before and he’ll beat him again. As for Kyle, the person living in Lala Land is just lying to himself. Last time, Cole had Kyle beat, and the Don Callis Family had to get involved because they knew it, and Kyle knows it. Cole had his number then and has his number now. So here’s a great idea: Let’s just go All In! Kyle wants his shot at the TNT title, Garcia wants his shot at the TNT title, and Cole is a fighting champion. At All In, he’ll face them both! Kyle says no no no, that’s not gonna happen. Kyle was screwed out of the title once, he won’t do it again. Kyle beat Garcia when he was TNT Champion, and he never got his shot!
Kyle says in a perfect and just world, HE would be here as TNT Champion! Garcia says oh c’mon, Kyle thinks he deserves to be a champion just cuz he beat Garcia? Congrats, who hasn’t beat Garcia? Garcia has been losing for his entire career, for his entire life, but every time he loses, he gets back up. The fans applaud that! Garcia says every time he fails, he gets back up! So Cole, Kyle, he isn’t asking for his shot because he “deserves” one, he wants to earn it. So here’s another idea: Garcia and Kyle are already in a big main event match, but let’s put it all on the line! Garcia VS Kyle, winner goes on to have the biggest match of their lives against Adam Cole for the TNT Championship!
The fans cheer, Kyle is annoyed, but Cole says if that’s how they wanna play it, that’s how they’ll do it. May the best man win. Garcia raised the stakes of tonight’s main event, but will he be ready to go All In? Or will the Aussie Arrow be the one flying to Texas?
Toni Storm speaks.
“This is a message for that the little girl watching from home. The one who begged her parents to buy All In so that she could sit in front of the television to watch the greatest women’s match of all time. It won’t be. It will be a lesson, and the lesson is this: Someone can only hurt you as much as you let them, and when they can’t hurt you anymore, if they hurt the people you love, you have absolutely every right to rip their bloody tits off. Some things in life are not worth fighting for. But if you’re lucky, one thing in your whole life will be worth every last drop of blood. Fortunately for me, that thing happens to be the big shiny gold belt that I wear around my waist.
“What you’re about to witness will change you in foul ways. Probably our mother, too. It won’t be nice, it won’t be pretty, but you will remember it forever. Hopefully, it will discourage you from becoming a wrestler yourself, because there are only two kinds of people in this world: Ruthless, greedy, power-hungry megalomaniacs who will stop at nothing to have it all, and the people who end them. Good night, darling. See you next week.”
Triple Threat: Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS Kevin Knight w/ “Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy!
Montel Vontavious Porter has practically begged for teams to step up to the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and he got what he wanted! #JetSpeed wants their shot, but so does The Patriarchy! This won’t automatically make a title match, but it could go a long way to putting one together. Will The Jet be 2Fly2Stop? Will The Prodigy make Christian Cage proud?

I’m not gonna yell, I’m not gonna scream, but I’m sick of you sticking your nose into our business. You wanna be heroes? I give you the opportunity to prove that you are heroes.” Claudio vents in German, but he translates that the Trios Championships are his!

The fans sing along with Me Muero for the winners! Will this momentum help Briscoe, Hologram and Mistico have a great showing in the Casino Gauntlet? Oh, wait, speaking of, MJF & MVP interrupt via the tron. MJF asks if MVP saw that amazing finish. This is so exciting! Hologram, go teleport your ass back to the hotel, MJF doesn’t care about you. MJF is here to talk to Mistico and Briscoe, aka Jabroni y El Jabroni. MVP likes that, that’s clever. MJF says he knows Spanish. But MVP says we don’t “talky talk,” that is for poor, uneducated chicken farmers. MVP says men like him and MJF converse. They speak the language of violence.
So let’s converse right now. MJF says Briscoe wants to talk to him one-on-one, but MJF isn’t so sure. Nowadays, he rolls with his clique. When you’re in the Syndicate, you ride together, you die together, they hurt people. But MJF will still consider it. But as for Mistico, MJF knows he’s all excited to be in the gauntlet. IS HE? Because last time MJF checked, he’s gonna beat Briscoe within an inch of his life and pin him before anybody gets a chance to make an entrance. So now, they can go back to do what poor people do. MJF doesn’t know what that is, maybe count food stamps or something. MVP, talk us out.
MVP says he appreciates all the enthusiasm, but they’re way out of their league. MVP tells Mistico, in Spanish, that he is the biggest idiot in Mexico! MJF says it ain’t personal, it’s just business. MJF & MVP head out, but will Briscoe, Mistico, and just about everyone else in the gauntlet line-up make sure MJF does not win it?
BREAKING NEWS for All In!
While Kevin Knight got the big win in the Triple Threat, it will still be a Triple Threat for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! The Patriarchy is still in this mix, will they ruin the plans of both Hurt Syndicate and JetSpeed?

That is a command. Oh, and, uh… AHA~!
Ricochet & The Gates leave, will the Vanilla Babyface & Big Shotty even be able to stand, let alone earn Ricochet’s respect?

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite 300.
Renee Paquette found Anthony Bowens after the Men’s Casino Gauntlet #2 spot Fatal 4, and asked him how he felt after his defeat. He talked about his strategy going into the match, so- Bowens stops her there. There’s no room for negativity as the Pride of Pro-Wrestling. Billy Gunn then walks in, and he helps Bowens stand up. Bowens thanks Billy for the help now. Sorry, Billy thought the strategy was for him to not be ringside. Billy says he doesn’t know what Bowens is doing with all this. Bowens asks since when was that part of the strategy. He never said he didn’t want Billy out there. Well, that’s what Billy heard him say. He was back here watching the whole time.
Maybe Bowens doesn’t get this, but just because he’s a singles guy now doesn’t mean he’ll be world champion overnight. There will be bumps in the road, but they need to figure this out together. They can make it all work out. Bowens says Billy has been promising that for weeks but results need to happen now. All In is next week, Bowens has to win the gauntlet! He lost the chance at being #2 so now what? Trust Billy. Bowens & Billy scissor, but can Daddy Ass help the 5 Tool Player find the path to the top?

Alex Windsor speaks.
“For eight long years, I wrestled on the UK independent scene, and when I was finally hitting my stride, I had my leg taken out from under me and I tore my ACL. There was a point where I didn’t think I’d ever be able to wrestle again. But there was just something that would not let me quit, because I knew the only thing that could make me feel human again, the only thing that could bring me back from the edge, was being inside a wrestling ring. And although I am All Elite now, the mission doesn’t stop until there is gold around my waist. I want to prove to my son what his mum has had to endure to become one of the best in the world.
“I am Iron Will, I am Alex Windsor!” Will Alex prove she is unbreakable when she finally gets back in that AEW ring?

Garcia puts Kyle on the apron, then slides into the ring. Garcia climbs up the corner, drags Kyle up to the top rope, and the fans fire up for the SUPER DUPER PLEX! Roll through, cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Callis is relieved. A standing count begins, Kyle and Garcia stir, and Garcia grabs the legs. Kyle BOOTS Garcia away, Garcia rebounds, but into Kyle’s cradle! Then deadlift, but Garcia slips free! Garcia waistlocks, they go to ropes, Kyle bucks the O’Conner! SUPERKICK!
Kyle reels Garcia in, lifts, LAST RIDE!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle is furious but then he rains down elbows! The ref wants Garcia to get his guard up but Kyle lets off. Garcia sputters, is his nose broken now? The fans rally, Callis mockingly says they should call this. Kyle aims from the far corner, runs in, but Garcia catches him for a leg scissor! Then he has the legs! DRAGONTAMER!! The fans are thunderous as Kyle endures! Garcia sits deep on the hold, but Kyle powers up! Garcia drags Kyle away for the DEEPER hold! Kyle reaches back to headlock Garcia, but Garcia lets the legs go so he can roll back! Garcia facelocks, deadlifts, and then suplexes Kyle and himself out of the ring!!
The fans fire up while both men hit the floor! Callis and Cole are both worried again, but both men are still stirring. The ring count climbs, the fans rally, and Callis tells Garcia to stay down. Callis fans Kyle off, pats him on the shoulder, but we pass 5 of 10. Garcia is up first and he has Kyle, only for Kyle to get around! HALF ‘N’ HALF to the floor! Kyle grimaces as he drags himself up to his feet. Garcia sputters, twitches, but Kyle drags him up. Callis says get the ambulance. Kyle grins as he looks at Cole, and he reels Garcia in for an APRON POWERBOMB!! Garcia is down in a heap and Cole stands up in anger.
The fans are torn as Kyle leaves Garcia behind. The count starts again, Cole coaches Garcia, but can Garcia even hear him right now? The count is 5 of 10, and Garcia grabs the apron skirt! Garcia rises, but we’re at 8! Garcia leaps in at 9.99! But the GAMANGIRI hits in the corner!! And then Kyle suplexes, BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, Kyle wins!!
Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW TNT Championship)
Daniel Garcia fought his heart out, but his body could not withstand the viciousness of Kyle Fletcher. And now, the Aussie Arrow is aimed squarely at Adam Cole. Will the Protostar make himself the Face of TNT? Or will this title stay undisputed?
My Thoughts:
A great 100th episode of Collision, even with it being prerecorded on Wednesday. FTR VS Outrunners was an awesome match, and naturally FTR was winning, but it was a nice touch for Stokely to be involved right at the end so that The Outrunners’ power level isn’t hurt by the loss. The tag title story is a bit disconnected, though, as apparently Nick Wayne “interrupted” a Hurt Syndicate interview. It was a YouTube exclusive, not part of Dynamite, so Nick Wayne jumping into what they framed as Shelton VS Knight was weird. And even then, Knight won the Triple Threat by pinning Shelton, shouldn’t it just be JetSpeed VS Lashley & Shelton? And I’m pretty sure the only reason for the Triple Threat is so that Hurt Syndicate can lose the belts without taking the finish.
Great Six Man Tag from Briscoe, Hologram & Mistico VS Don Callis Family, and great win for the Faces. Good promo from MJF and MVP, but not really needed. They just wanted to step on Briscoe’s celebration before having the “talky talk” moment next week. Awesome return for Scorpio Sky after roughly 600 days of being away, and he of course got a win over Max Caster. The main thing from this is that Sky is also now leading a new faction with Christopher Daniels. Hopefully Top Flight gets some direction with this, they’ve been in a holding pattern for so long. And that’s not even the injuries, they’ve both been back for a good amount of time and they’ve only been contenders to the tag titles, not winners.
Very good promo from Claudio to call out The Opps, and I’m starting to really feel like Hook joins Death Riders as payback on Samoa Joe for replacing him so easily. Willow got a good win but it was mostly so we could have that moment of Kris and Yuta where Kris is still resistant to the idea of joining Death Riders. Great 8 Woman Tag, and Athena being scared of getting in the ring with Rosa was some good stuff. Another strong win for the Heels, and I feel like Megan is going to have a great showing in the Casino Gauntlet. But with Alex Windsor having another good promo, I feel like she could be a favorite to win. Then Alex faces the winner of Toni VS Mone at Forbidden Door. Good promo from Toni Storm, but it didn’t really add that much to the build.
And finally, something for the TNT Championship. Great promo to open the night, and it naturally raised the stakes on the main event. Garcia VS Fletcher was awesome, and that moment near the end with them both down on the outside really teased a double count out to make a Triple Threat for All In. But in the end, Kyle overwhelms Garcia and is the standalone #1 contender. Cole VS Fletcher is going to be awesome, and probably could go either way. But if the Don Callis Family is going to be as big as it is, it also needs to win some gold. There’s potential for them to really clean up next weekend with Konosuke Takeshita going for the ROH World Championship, Okada VS Omega for the “unified” championship, and now Fletcher going for the TNT title.
My Score: 9/10

Hangman Page is here!
Ontario, California fires up for the Cowboy as he storms right out to the ring. Hangman grabs a mic, and he says he is not going to waste our time because he has said plenty how much the AEW World Championship match means to him. He has said plenty on how much AEW and that title mean to him, and he has said he would ride through death itself for this! The fans cheer, and hangman says he made a promise that at All In, he would win THE AEW World Championship! That he would free it from the briefcase, hold it over his head for the world to see, and it is a vow he will keep with his life!
The fans cheer more, and Hangman continues with, “You can tie me up and you can bloody me, but it will not be enough. And like last week, you can wrap a chain around my neck and hang me from the sky! But you would have to kill me before I let this chance pass me by!” If you think he’ll let The Elite or the Death Riders cost them, then you’re the biggest dumbass in the world! Because at All In, like all of Jon Moxley’s matches, Hangman knows they are coming, so he will welcome them. “Give me The Elite! Give me ALL of the Death Riders! Jon Moxley, you give me everything or you give me death, and make this a TEXAS DEATH MATCH!!”
Well, as if on cue, Jon Moxley makes his way out from the bowels of the arena, Marina Shafir right behind him. The fans boo as these two make their way to ringside, and Hangman keeps his eyes locked on The Maniac. Moxley steps up to the apron, mic in hand, and he says, “So… At All In, you wanna put all your chips on the table? Your life, your health, your career, all on the line, all on the table, with the AEW World Championship, in a Texas Death Match.” The fans cheer that! But Moxley says, “No.” The fans boo, but Moxley says Hangman doesn’t want that. He might think he wants that, but he doesn’t.
To break it down, on July 12th, Hangman is going to lose. The fans chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at Moxley but he ignores it. At All In, Hangman is not going to win, because he doesn’t want to win. No, Hangman is happy where he is because it is safe and comfortable. Hangman doesn’t wanna wake up on Sunday morning with the AEW World Championship and everything that comes with it. Does Hangman know why he won the Owen Hart Cup? Because it wasn’t the highest peak. It wasn’t really the top of the mountain. It was nice, but THE top, no, that’s not for Hangman, that’s too much pressure, that’s for someone else.
Fans tell Moxley to STFU, but Moxley says he lives in pressure. Moxley knows there are those who say they’re the best in the world, and that’s “basic b*tch sh*t,” Moxley is much more than that. Moxley is much more than the AEW World Champion, and he’ll show the entire world that on July 12th. HE will show the world exactly who he is, and exactly what a world champion looks like. Hangman doesn’t have inside him what it takes to take this title from Moxley, and he certainly doesn’t have what it takes to win a Texas Death Match with Moxley. Hangman is not willing to go as far as he needs to go, it is not something he would survive, it is not something he’d walk away from.
Hangman SLAPS Moxley! Moxley is pissed and he TACKLES Hangman! The fans fire up as the two scrap, and Hangman gets the edge! AND he takes something out of his pocket! Is that a fork!? Wheeler Yuta appears outta nowhere, but then Hangman JAMS him with the fork! Marina SLAPS Hangman! The fans tell Hangman to fork her, but then she SLAPS him again! Hangman seethes, she SLAPS him again! And again and again and again! Hangman just stares her down! Hangman steps forward, but then Yuta anchors Hangman! Claudio Castagnoli TACKLES Hangman! The fans boo as the Death Riders mug Hangman!
Yuta & Claudio stomp away on Hangman, CHOKE him in the corner, then smother him with his own jacket! Moxley is in retreat and Marina checks on him. Claudio drags Hangman up and RIPS away his shirt! Gotch lift, NEUTRALIZER! The fans boo as Moxley needed the Decoder and the Swiss Cyborg to handle Hangman for him. Will this be exactly what happens in ten days at All In: Texas? Hangman grabs the mic to shout, “HOLD ON! HOLD ON! Is that the best you’ve got?! IS THAT THE BEST YOU’VE GOT?! Send your little neutered lap dog, Claudio, after me, cuz B*TCH, I’m still standing!”
The fans fire up and Claudio says okay, still standing, huh? Claudio grabs an open chair, takes it with him to ringside, but SAMOA JOE is here! Claudio says bet! Claudio gets up on the railing, Yuta is even backing him, but then Claudio spots Shibata and Hobbs walking up from the other side! The Opps continue to have Hangman’s back, but speaking of back, MARINA sneaks in behind Hangman! But she blocks the briefcase attack! The fans fire up and Hangman shouts, “Mox, have I got something of yours? HUH?! Be the champion you say you are! Be the champion you say you are and give me Texas Death! GIVE ME TEXAS DEATH!!”
Moxley is furious that the sneak attack failed so he storms back up to ringside. Moxley says fine, if Hangman wants it, he’s got it! ALL IN: TEXAS DEATH!! The fans are all fired up and Hangman grins. Hangman then walks up to Marina and hands her the briefcase. The fans cheer for #CowboyS*it, but then Hangman remembers one thing! Mox, you said that Hangman didn’t have what it takes for Texas Death, but Mox knows that’s a lie. But in case Mox needs to see that Hangman will do anything it takes… What?! BUCKSHOT ON MARINA!! No one can believe it, and Moxley is even angrier than before! But will Hangman do a lot worse once the bell rings?
Toni Storm is with Rachel Brosnahan.
The AEW Women’s World Champion is with the new Lois Lane in the new Superman film, and Rachel says she used to wrestle in high school. Toni asks what they used to call Rachel, and she says, “Just Rachel.” Oh, well, they should fix that. Rachel Reckoning! Rachel the Relentless! No, wait! Rachel the Ravishing Raven! Wait, wait! Rachel the Metropolis Maven! Rachel says she’ll take ’em. Put those on a shirt. Why yes, darling! See Superman in theaters starting July 11th!
Toni Storm heads to the ring!
And now, the AEW Women’s World Champion is accompanied by her butler, Luther, on the way out so that she may join commentary once again.
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Mina Shirakawa!
The CEO is currently #FiveBeltsMone, but she is so confident she’ll stay that way that she’s served Toni Storm a steak dinner to watch as she serves the Fighting Gravure Idol an L! But will Mone stay the Face of TBS? Or will we all be watching #MinaNow?
The introductions are made, the teal title is raised, and we see if the Money Train loses some of its cargo!
Mone lounges on a corner while the bell rings, and Mina runs up to HAMMER Mone down! The fans fire up as Mina fires off but Mone uses the ropes as a defense! The ref backs Mina off, Mone bails out, but Mina gives chase! They go around the outside, back into the ring, and Mone stomps away! The fans boo but Mone stops as the ref reprimands. Mone shows off the pics of Toni on the soles of her boots, then rips them off to throw them at Mina. Toni is rather anxious and worried right now, but Mina manages to KNEE Mone in return! Mina then slips under, but Mone sits on the sunset! The ref says she’s in the ropes!
Mone lets go, Mina sunsets, ONE! The fans duel as Mina SOBATS, runs, but Mone dodges and rolls Mina down into a crossface! Mina pops free, has Mone’s legs, but Mone kicks free. Things speed up, but Mina turns hurdle into FLAPJACK! Mina does her shimmy, says that belt is hers, but then has to go Matrix to dodge a haymaker! Victory roll, TWO! Mone blocks a punch to THROW Mina down by her hair! The ref reprimands and the fans boo, but Mone drags Mina up. Toni is in no mood to eat as Mone says this is ognna be her soon! Mone whips, but Mina reverses to THESZ PRESS! Mina rains down fast hands and the fans fire up!
The ref counts, Mina is throwing those closed fists. Mina stops, but she fires up to THROW Mone! The fans fire up and Mina storms up on Mone again. Mina TOSSES Mone the other way! The fans fire up as Mina shakes it up! Mina then stalks Mone, but Mone ELBOWS her away. Mone hits DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! Mone is up and METEORA! Mone throws down fists instead of going for the pin! The fans boo and Mone TOSSES Mina! Mone mocks Toni’s flailing about but Toni is not amused as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The other screen doesn’t really show up right away… Did they mean to go to break? Well, we return to single picture eventually, and Mina has Mone down. Toni is still worried as Mone claims her leg is hurting. Mina SPLASHES, covers, TWO! Mina drags Mone to center to SPLASH the leg! Mina wants the Figure Four but Mone drags her into the STATEMENT MAKER! Mina endures, the fans rally up, and Mina fights forward. Mone kicks off the ropes, but Mina rolls free! FIGURE FOUR! The fans “WOO~!” but Mone CLUBS at Mina’s leg! Mina SLAPS Mone, pushes on the hold, but Mone SLAPS back!
Mone rolls, rolls, and they end up on the apron, then fall to the floor! The leglock is undone and Toni is even more concerned. It’s almost like she’s watching a horror movie. The fans rally for Mina as she and Mone are still in this. Mina brings Mone up, sends her at the ring but Mone reverses. Mina tiger feint kicks from the apron! Then she FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up and Mina hurries to TORNADO DDT to the floor! The fans fire up even more and Mina puts Mone in the ring. Mone tiger feint kicks in return! Mone then METEORAS to the floor! Double-edged as Mone clutches her leg, but Toni has gone back to being stoic.
Mina and Mone stir while the ref starts the ring count. The count is 8, Mone rolls in, but Mina is in at 9! Mina and Mone have wild looks in their eyes, and they both grab each other by the hair! They stand up, Mone talks trash, and she fires a forearm! Mina laughs that off, then puts some stank on her FOREARM SHOT! Mina eggs Mone on, and the forearms fly! The fans boo Mone, cheer Mina, and repeat! The shots go faster and faster, Mone gets the edge, but Mina whips her away. Mina runs in, but Mone BOOTS her! Mone goes up, FLYING SUNSET FLIPS, but Mina rolls through! BASEMENT METEORA! Mone storms around but the fans boo.
Mone runs corner to corner, SUNSET BUCKLE BOMB! Shoutout to her Role Model, and then a METEORA in the corner! Cover, TWO!! Mina survives and Mone grows frustrated, and Toni seems concerned again. The fans duel more as Mone climbs up. METEORA AGAIN! NO, Mina rolls through, SMASHES the knee on the mat again and again, then hits a DRAGON SCREW! Mina has the legs, FIGURE FOUR!! Mone endures, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! A fingertip saves Mone, but Mina lets go to go up the corner! The fans rally again, but Mone stands. Mina leaps to FLYING SLINGBLADE! Cover, TWO!!
Mone survives and Mina grows frustrated, but Mina calls her shout! Mina drags Mone into the dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, but Mone slips free! Underhooks, Gory Especial, but Mina flips free! Mone swings, Mina block s and ROLLING ELBOWS! DREAM SMASHER ELBOW! BLINDSIDE BUZZSAW!! The fans are thunderous as Mone is down and Mina rises up! Mina grins as she aims again! URAKEN!! Mina isn’t done! She dragon sleepers, for GLAMOROUS DRIVER MINA!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Mone survives and Mina is shocked! Toni is still unsettled but the fans rally as hard as they can!
Mina drags Mone up for another dragon sleeper, tries again, but Mone slips free! BACKSTABBER! But Mina’s right up?!? SHINING WIZARD!! Cover, ONE?!!? Mone shakes her head, but Mina runs up on her! Mone scoops Mina for CIPHER UTAKI!! Both women are down and the fans are thunderous! Luther fans Toni, she is still shvitzing despite her face being plain. Mone crawls to a cover, TWO! Mina survives but Mone snarls. Mone drags Mina up, Gory Especial, but Mina flips free again! Victory roll, leg lock, but Mone makes it a cradle!! MONE WINS!!
Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
The CEO snatches victory from the jaws of defeat and Mina can’t believe it! But then Mone DECKS Mina! NOW Toni does something, and she rushes into the ring! Mone runs away, but only for Toni to let her guard down! Mone CLOBBERS Toni from behind!! The fans boo as Mone goes to the cake she had waiting, licks some of the frosting, then she throws the champagne in Luther’s face! Ten days are all that remain, will Mone show that Toni’s time is up and that her time is now?
Matthew Jackson has a surprise for Nicholas Jackson.
Matt has his brother keep his eyes closed as they walk out into the parking lot. Matt says that since they’re in Ontario, California, and that’s a stone’s throw away from their hometown of Rancho Cucamonga, AND since it is episode 300 of Dynamite, this is a homecoming for them. Matt wanted to celebrate early, went on a shopping spree with the company card, and well… Look! Nick opens his eyes, and it is a stretch limo with their “Founding Fathers” design all over it! Well, in a way, Tony Khan bought this for them. But the outside is just the beginning. Check what’s inside! A tone of new Nike shoes! Nick loves having power and wealth.
Matt says this is how he sees things going: They go on a trip down memory lane, see some of their favorite childhood spots, and then enjoy themselves. The Bucks hop inside, the driver pulls out of the lot, and we begin the montage of The Bucks sharing Rancho Cucamonga with the world. First, Bear Gulch Elementary. Nick had his first kiss here. And the one time he told his teacher to “Suck it,” he got written up for it. They might be the only famous people to ever come out of this city. The reminiscing is set to continue, but will Matt & Nick be ready for their match alongside Konosuke Takeshita? Or will they be a little to high on themselves to care?
AEW returns and…
After the Bucks get some In N Out burgers ‘n’ fries, they stop by their childhood home. And immediately scratch themselves on the chain link fence. It always felt bigger when they were kids. But anyway, it’s more fun in the limo. The Bucks head out again, where will their next stop on “memory lane” be?
Men’s Casino Gauntlet Number Two Spot Fatal 4 Way: MJF VS Anthony Bowens VS Brody King VS AR Fox!
The Scumbag had to eat his words last week when Mark Briscoe won the number one spot in the All In Men’s Casino Gauntlet, but now he looks to get in right behind him. However, the Pride of Professional Wrestling says he has his five tools and one rule: Prove them wrong! Will Bowens get to scissoring and cut MJF in line? Or are they both overlooking the King of Death and the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and Ontario is pretty strongly behind “Brody! Brody! BRODY EFFIN’ KING!” MJF says hold on, hold on. MJF brings out stacks of cash to give to Brody so he and Brody can work together here. Brody throws MJF’s money down! MJF scrambles out of the ring, but Brody and the others pursue! MJF hurries back into the ring, the ref is cleaning up the strewn money, and MJF bails out the other side. MJF hides behind commentary, but also the Hurt Syndicate. The fans are torn between booing and chanting, “We Hurt~ People!” Brody DOUBLE LARIATS Fox and Bowens! Brody then drags Fox up to THROW him into railing!
Brody ROCKS Fox and sits him down in a chair. Bowens runs up, but he’s sent into railing, too! Brody then whips Bowens hard into the far side! Brody CHOPS Bowens and makes him sit! Brody runs and SPLASHES Fox against railing! The fans bark, MJF joins commentary long enough to say he works smarter, not harder, and he’ll let Brody destroy these guys for him. And then Brody SPLASHES Bowens against railing! The fans fire up as MJF says he doesn’t want no part of that. Brody puts Fox in the ring while MVP says MJF is cerebral, letting the big guy do the work so he can clean up the scraps.
Brody runs at Fox in a corner but Fox dodges! Fox BOOTS Brody, runs in and A-LIST LARIATS! Bowens runs up but Fox ELBOWS him away! Fox skins the cat to DROPKICK Brody and STUN- NO, Bowens shoves Fox away. Fox comes back, Bowens dodges, redirects, but Fox drops and swings, but Bowens hits a FLOATOVER DDT! SUPERKICK to Brody, then a FAMOUSER! The fans fire up for Bowens but MJF still claims he’ll slip in and take that “easy dub.” MJF then mockingly asks Excalibur if we’re gonna see tope conjilos and such. Fox puts Bowens on the apron, sweeps the legs, then runs to BLACK HOLE – Wait, the ropes aren’t cooperating.
Fox slingshots to DOUBLE STOMP Bowens all the same, then he jumps in and BOOTS Brody off the apron! Fox goes to the apron and springboards, IMPLODER SENTON! The fans are thunderous for Fox, and Shelton Benjamin gives a sarcastic thumbs up. MJF sarcastically says, “AR Fox taking flight!” Fox runs up on Bowens but Bowens hits a DRAPING DDT! Both men tumble to the floor, and Brody builds speed?! Brody DIVES and wipes them both out! MJF SMACKS Brody with a chair! The fans boo but MJF puts Bowens and Fox in the ring. Cover on Bowens, TWO! MJF is frustrated while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
MJF goes to Fox and covers, ONE!! MJF goes outside, fetches his chair, and SMACKS Brody again! MJF soaks up the heat, then JAMS Brody in the back! Brody writhes, MJF struts up the steel steps and soaks up more heat. MJF talks trash, then storms over to Fox in a corner. MJF digs his boot into Fox but still steps off to go to Bowens. Bowens throws haymakers! MJF CLAWS Bowens’ eyes! MJF digs his boots in on Bowens, then goes back to Fox. MJF uses his scarf to CHOKE Fox! The ref reprimands but that’s all he can do, and MJF lets Fox go so that he can CHOKE Bowens with the scarf! The ref reprimands, MJF stops, and he dusts himself off.
MJF swaggers around, does a Fargo Strut, but Bowens ROCKS him with a right! And ROCKS him again! Then Bowens puts MJF in a corner to rain down fists! Bowens goes all the way to ten, but then MJF hits an atomic drop! MJF scoops Bowens to SLAM him, then he sits Bowens up so he can rally the fans. MJF runs, runs, but then just THRUSTS in Bowens’ face! Dynamite 300 returns to single picture, MJF grins as the fans cheer and jeer, but then they all bark because Brody is back! MJF backs up into Brody, turns around to see him, and Brody CHOPS MJF down! Bowens fires off the Rock, Paper, Scissors, SUPERKICK on Brody!
Fox goes Matrix to dodge Bowens and then PELES! But then he does it again to dodge MJF! MJF dodges, Fox blocks a kick and FLIPS MJF, but MJF lands on his feet! MJF pokes Fox in the eyes! MJF soaks up cheers and jeers, but Bowens BOOTS him! Fox & Bowens DOUBLE BOOT Brody, then DOUBLE FOREARM MJF! Then they DOUBLE BOOT Brody again! Brody roars and DOUBLE LARIATS again! The fans bark it up while all four men are down! Brody rises first, he drags MJF up, and Brody whips MJF at a corner. Bowens dodges, holds MJF in place, then BOOTS Brody! Bowens sends MJF into Brody, then he goes up to BLOCKBUSTER DDT COMBO!
The fans rally as Bowens keeps moving, PENALTY KICK on Brody! Fox is on the apron, Bowens rushes up but Fox RAMS into him! Fox goes up, but Bowens SUPERKICKS the legs out! Fox is in the ropes and Bowens ENZIGIRIS! Bowens then brings Fox out for a DRAPING SIDEWINDER! Cover, TWO! Fox stays in this and MVP acknowledges that Fox is tougher than that. The fans rally, Bowens has Fox, and Bowens whips, only for Fox to hold ropes. Fox TOSSES Bowens out, MJF runs up, but Fox trips MJF onto ropes! Fox builds speed to STRADDLE ATTACK DROPKICK COMBO! MJF staggers, but he comes back!
Fox trips MJF again with the leg scissors, then he slingshots to deadlift and ANARCHY! Cover, TWO!! MJF survives and the fans are torn. Brody is up and he CHOPS Fox! And ROCKS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! Fox falls, Bowens returns, but Bowens dodges the lariat. Bowens rebounds, but into a BLACK HOLE SLAM! Brody has targets in all the corners! CANNONBALL on Bowens! CANNONBALL on Fox! Brody barks and the fans join in, CANNONBALL MISSES as MJF dodges! MJF talks trash on Brody, and he BOOT WASHES Bowens! SHINING WIZARD on Fox! MJF whips and WRINGS Fox into Bowens!
MJF dodges Brody, rolls him up, TWO! MJF BITES Brody’s forehead! The ref reprimands and the fans boo but MJF goes out to fetch his chair! MJF goes into the ring with it, soaks up cheers and jeers, but Brody PUNCHES the chair into MJF’s head! MJF joins Fox and Bowens in the corner, and Brody runs in! CANNONBALL three layers deep!! The fans are thunderous and Brody covers MJF, TWO! MJF stays in this but Brody stays on him. MJF hits a CUTTER outta nowhere!! Bowens somersaults to CUTTER MJF! Fox ripcords Bowens up for a CUTTER! Brody POP-UP CUTTERS Fox! Cover, TWO!! Fox survives and Brody is stunned!
The fans rally up as Brody reels Fox in! GONZO- NO, Fox lands outside! Fox GAMANGIRIS Brody, HOTSHOTS him, then goes up the corner! 450 SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives, and Bowens MOLLY WHOPS Fox!! MOLLY- POKE to the eyes! MJF hammerlocks Bowens, lifts him, LA SOMBRA DDT!! MJF has Brody in the ropes, shouts “BRODY SUCKS!” at Ontario, but Brody BACKDROPS MJF to the apron! Brody ROCKS MJF, then has the HANGING SLEEPER!! MJF is passing out! Bowens SUPERKICKS Brody! Then dropkicks the legs out! Fox reels Brody into the ropes, DRAPING DDT of his own!
But Bowens has Fox up, clinches, THE ARRIVAL! The fans fire up with Bowens and he has Brody. Brody DOUBLE CHOPS Bowens, then reels him in! GONZO BOMB!! Cover, Fox DIVING SPLASHES it apart!! But then MJF grabs Fox by an arm! SALT OF THE EARTH ARMBAR!!! FOX TAPS, MJF WINS!!
Winner: MJF, by submission (guaranteed #2 entrant in the Casino Gauntlet)
MJF vows that the gauntlet will be his! He is coming for that golden ticket to the top! The Hurt Syndicate celebrates with their guy, but “Reach for the Sky!” Here comes Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as Briscoe shows off the new shirt: “MJF has a Tiny Kosher Pickle!” Briscoe congratulates MJF on winning this match, making him the #2 in the Casino Gauntlet. MJF says yeah, that’s right! Briscoe adds that the bad news is, Briscoe is the #1! That means MJF has ensured himself an uninterrupted ass whooping at least for a brief moment in time. The fans cheer that! They also chant “TINY PICKLE!” and MJF tells them to shut up!
Briscoe shrugs as he looks at his own shirt. Briscoe does want to make this clear, he is not addressing Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin or MVP when he says this. He is talking directly to the man who called him a “Blue Collar B*tch” on national TV. MJF says that’s cuz he is one! Briscoe says the “blue collar” is a badge of armor. But that “b*tch” comment is what has ensured that beatdown! The fans cheer that, too! But Briscoe wants MJF to know that he is always two steps ahead.
So here is a proposition: Next week on Dynamite, MJF has the Hurt Syndicate stay in the back while he gets in the ring with a microphone. Briscoe will then make his way out with a microphone so that they can have a little talky talk. The fans chant “TALKY TALK!” and MJF can’t believe it. Briscoe says if MJF has a pair of nuts next to that tiny pickle, he will accept! The fans cheer that, too! Will the Wolf of Wrestling play fair with the Sussex County Chicken? And wait, here comes #JetSpeed! Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight are back on their feet, and they wanna fight! Lashley & Shelton storm out, and then they get SUPERKICKS for it!

Hurt Syndicate, you may know how to hurt people, but in order to keep those titles, you gotta learn how to kill us.”
MVP has Lashley stand down this time, but Knight tells Shelton that Mama Benjamin must’ve taught him how to fight, “cuz you hit like a b*tch!” Collision 100, Knight VS Shelton 1v1! MJF has Shelton stand down, and the Hurt Syndicate heads out. Will Knight & Bailey keep fighting until they’ve got the titles they want? Or will Collision 100 be their last?

The Young Bucks have finished their reminiscing and are now dressed to compete. They salute themselves before walking into the arena for their entrance.

Swerve & Ospreay challenged you to a match at All In: Texas. And we want you to put those EVP titles on the line.
“Now just to clarify a couple things… This isn’t Swerve & Will trying to become EVPs, because one, I don’t trust Will with that kind of power. And two, we’re putting the EVP titles on someone that it’s always belonged to, and that was you people!” The fans cheer that! Swerve says there is only one man that runs this company, the chairman & CEO, Tony Khan! Ospreay says, “Lads, you don’t wanna wrestle us? You don’t wanna wrestle us at All In, the show that you created? The company that you created, and you guys don’t wanna wrestle us? Are these guys Young Bucks? Or Young *ucks?” Nick says watch your mouth!
The fans fire up and Ospreay says let’s get an answer! Matt says, “What’s with you guys?! First Hangman and now you guys, you think you make the rules? You think you book the stipulations? You’re not the boss! WE ARE! We’re EVPs, you aren’t! So you want an answer? You want it right now? HELL NO! Cuz what do we get outta this? Thanks but no thanks.” The fans boo as The Bucks head up the ramp, but Ospreay says he has something The Bucks might be interested in. Ospreay whispers to Swerve real quick, Swerve seems unsure, but Ospreay says if The Bucks accept the match and win, then Ospreay & Swerve can’t challenge for the AEW World Championship for one whole year.
Swerve is upset, that is not what he thought Ospreay would say. Ospreay says Swerve needs to trust him. One year max. Matt says that’s the smartest thing Ospreay’s ever suggested. Deal! But… Get Swerve on the same page with that. They can tell he’s a little confused. Swerve, it is up to you. If this is what you want, too, then the match is a done deal. Swerve frowns, Ospreay says they can do this. They have to do this! Swerve says deal! Matt says see you at All In, p*icks! The stakes just got raised, but will Ospreay & Swerve really be able to strip The Bucks of their power? Or will they end up on the outside looking?

My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite for episode 300, and it moved pretty well with a lot of focus on matches and not that many promos. Great opening promo from Hangman, and daring the Death Riders to anything was of course going to bring them all out to beat him up. But again, Opps stand in the way, I feel like there should be a way to put the AEW World Trios Championships on the line as the Opps haven’t been defending them. How wild would it be for Hook to join Death Riders since he feels replaced within The Opps? Hangman hitting Marina with the Buckshot was pretty wild, too, and I like that we’re making this a Texas Death Match now to really fit the importance of this match.
Awesome TBS Championship match, and Toni played her role in a very different way than I expected. But as close as Mina looked time and again, of course Mone retains. She gets the win on Mina, she gets the sneak attack on Toni, the momentum is with her, meaning Toni is likely to win at All In. I still hold out hope they at least make it for both AEW titles, but maybe that’s too much like Omega and Okada fighting to be a unified champion. But the thing is, Toni winning means she would be owed a shot at any of the titles Mone holds, outside of the Queen of Harts belt. It’d be fitting if it was the Rev-Pro belt when Forbidden Door: London is next on the schedule.
Awesome Fatal 4 to determine #2 in the Casino Gauntlet, but I figured MJF would win. Great promo from Briscoe to challenge MJF to a “talky talk.” And again, fans love Briscoe cuz they chanted that right away. JetSpeed going after Hurt Syndicate and pulling off something reminiscent of Dolph Ziggler getting beat down and still getting up. Also nice deep cut bringing up Shelton’s mama from that failed angle where “Mama Benjamin” was Shelton’s manager. Shelton VS Knight will be great, and impressing MVP through that match could be a way for JetSpeed to earn their tag title shot at All In.
The Young Bucks going around Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga was some fun stuff, and they did a good job playing up being so above their humble beginnings. Awesome Six Man Tag from them and Konosuke against Bandido & Paragon. Those trios combo moves were great, and the Heels win so that Konosuke has momentum going into next week’s Supercard of Honor. Hard to say Konosuke wins the ROH World Championship. I don’t wanna says he’s above it, but then what? We end up in a similar situation to Jericho where the world champ is barely on the show he represents? But Konosuke needs something if he wants to also go strong into a possible feud with Okada.
Ospreay & Swerve going after The Bucks was a great segue into the main event, and I like that we’re also raising the stakes on their match. EVP titles VS no title shot for 12 months, certainly interesting stories to be told either way. But given it’s an entire YEAR of no Ospreay or Swerve going after the world title, I’m leaning towards The Bucks giving up their EVP status. Then they go on a journey to relearn what it was that made them who they are, making their memory lane trip a bit of foreshadowing.
My Score: 9/10
