“Backstage” interview with Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page.
Alex Marvez is interrupted as Scorpio asks, “Riddle me this, riddle me that, who is afraid of the big black bat?” Sting is a mosquito that sucks the blood of this company! And you know what happens to mosquitos: you kill them! So listen up, “Steve.” You’ve overstayed your welcome! Showtime’s over! Scorpio’s the franchise now, BITCH! And Ethan Page says he and Darby Allin have a very storied past, but no one wants to talk about matches no one’s seen. So let’s skip the in-ring history and go right to Darby’s medical history! That face paint isn’t war paint, no. That’s covering up a dent Ethan put in Darby’s forehead! And the metal in Darby’s arm is also because of All Ego!
Why does everyone look at Darby like he’s an unsolvable riddle? Ethan has the answers- WHOA! Darby blindsides Ethan and brawls with Scorpio! There’s a brawl in the top level of the bleachers! Scorpio whips but Darby reverse to send him into railing! Darby dodges Ethan’s shoulder tackle to send him into floor signs! Darby goes up a ladder, just to LEAP off with a COFFIN DROP!! But Scorpio SMACKS Darby with a trash can! Scorpio kicks Darby and clubs him, then Ethan adds on! They mug Darby by the stairs, and grind his face into the spikes on Ethan’s Louis Vattons! Ethan says he is the final nail in Darby’s coffin! Ethan THROWS Darby down the stairs!!!
Fans boo as Ethan and Scorpio watch Darby writhe and clutch an arm! Medics hurry up there and check on him, but is this the end of the Relentless TNT Champion?
AEW is picture in picture as Darby tries to get up but just can’t. The medic checks him for concussion and broken bones. It’s hard to say without audio how Darby is doing but he’s fortunate to still be conscious. Perhaps there will be a diagnosis, after the break.
Britt Baker w/ Rebel VS Julia Hart!
The Doctor is ready for Double or Nothing, but isn’t going to pass up competing on a night as big as this one. After all, she’s the Role Model of the AEW Women’s Division. Will young Julia Hart learn a thing or two from the #1 contender?
The bell rings, Britt circles with Julia, not even taking Julia seriously. They tie up, Britt kicks low, and then she pie faces Julia around. Julia pie faces back! Britt ROCKS Julia, whips her to ropes, but Julia reverses and dodges, but runs into a SLINGBLADE! Britt smiles as she gest the glove already! Britt drags Julia around by her hair but Julia pushes her away! Britt ROCKS Julia, Alabama lifts and tucks Julia in for an AIR RAID CRASH! Britt covers, but lets off at ONE! Britt drags Julia around into the Rings of Saturn, and the LOCKJAW! Julia taps, Britt wins!
Winner: Britt Baker, by submission
Britt takes a bow because she’s still at the top of the charts! Will she have to put in a bit more effort if she’s to become champion?
AEW presents the return of Technique By Taz!
Taz talks about Christian Cage’s frog splash and Killswitch. Christian gets good air, but looking at his legs, there is a lack of explosion in the quads, reducing the amount of impact. And in the Killswitch, he failed several times because as he was turning, he had inconsistent footwork. Christian did manage to hit it on Frankie Kazarian eventually, but Will Hobbs throws Christian off easily time and again in their match. That means he has a long way to go if he faces someone like Brian Cage. Taz clearly has some bias here, but does he have a point?
AEW World Tag Team Championships #1 Contender Fatal 4 Way: SoCal Uncensored VS Jurassic Express VS The Acclaimed VS The Varsity Blondes!
Next week, the Young Bucks are facing someone, with the titles on the line! And while Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian are #1 in the rankings, they still have to earn their shot! Can SCU get through the other three top teams in AEW? Or will someone else leap frog over them to get at Matt & Nick Jackson?
The Acclaimed make their entrance last so that Max Caster can riff on all his opponents! “It’s the Acclaimed, two sexy kids, about to make Daniels quit the wrestling biz! Varsity Blonds, you’re a temporary thing. In 10 years, you’ll be on Dark Side of the Ring. Jungle, I slap you, like you John Stossel. Luchasaurus, I’m a turn you to a fossil! Acclaimed is up, we gonna take the tag belts off those two young cucks! I said it.” AEW, the Acclaimed have arrived, but will they be leaving with golden tickets to next week?
In this kind of Fatal 4, only two teams are legal so JB and Kaz start. They tie up, JB waistlocks, Kaz drops to get a trip, and he rolls JB back to clamp on a facelock. JB slips out, headlocks, Kaz powers out but headlocks back. JB powers out but Kaz runs him over. Things sped up, Kaz blocks a hip toss but so does JB. Kaz waistlocks and O’Conner Rolls, TWO! Kaz comes back to jackknife but JB bridges up to spin and backslide! TWO, Kaz hammerlocks for La Magistrol, TWO! JB has the ghost pin, TWO!

Kaz shoves Caster to the corner, Daniels tags in and Daniels BLASTS BPJ as AEW goes to break!
AEW returns and Bowens is legal, but he tags to Caster. Bowens shoves Daniels to mule kick him, Caster front kicks, then Bowens BULLDOGS and Caster BASEMENT DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Another, TWO! Caster clamps onto Daniels with a chinlock and grinds him down. Fans boo Caster and rally for “S C U! S C U!” Daniels gets up, Caster CLUBS him on the back, and tags Bowens to feed Daniels to a GAMANGIRI! Caster hits a BIG back suplex and Bowens covers, TWO! Bowens is annoyed, he drags Daniels up to CHOP him down. Bowens whips Daniels back into the corner, and Caster gets a cheap shot in!
Bowens whips Daniels out then in again, Daniels dodges Caster’s cheap shot to elbow him off the apron! Daniels BOOTS Bowens, then hits an STO! Both men are down, fans fire up, and Luchasaurus tags in off the Fallen Angel! Luchasaurus DECKS Daniels then CLOBBERS The Acclaimed! Luchasaurus fires off, CHOPS and kicks, AX KICK for Bowens! Luchasaurus fires off hands then hits a GERMAN SUPLEX! BPJ tags in but the Blonds both run into choke grips! CHOKE SLAM for BPJ, CHOKE SLAM puts Griff on BPJ! Luchasaurus gets Kaz but Kaz throws hands! Kaz fires off haymakers and CHOPS, but runs into a pop-up toss!

Kaz fires off kicks and a LARIAT on BPJ, but JB springboards! Kaz dodges, JB DECKS Bowens but Kaz CLOBBERS JB! BPJ rolls Kaz up, TWO!! BPJ wants Kaz to stand, and he SUPERKICKS him to a corner!

Winners: SoCal Uncensored, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contenders to the AEW Tag Team Championships)
Undefeated since December, and this could be a run to remember! Will Daniels & Kaz take those titles from their former friends? Or will the Bucks be the reason The Addiction calls it quits?
Next week, the IWGP United States Championship is defended on Dynamite!
Jon Moxley has had this belt since January of 2020, defeating Lance Archer, Minoru Suzuki and Kenta. But now, Moxley wants Yuji Nagata! Blue Justice accepted his challenge, and is coming back to the US to take this title back to NJPW! Moxley has been hearing the messages, how Nagata has called him a “little punk.” Moxley came to Nagata with respect, invited him to Dynamite with respect, and wanted to share the ring with a legend! But no matter how long you’ve been in this business, even a legend can learn something. And Nagata will learn that his mouth can get him in trouble against the baddest sumbitch in the game!
Moxley vows to squeeze the air out of Nagata and dump him on his head! “When is Yuji Nagata finally just not gonna get back up again?” Moxley says that moment is drawing closer. Once the bell rings, Moxley has no respect for anyone. What happens when we witness pro-wrestling history?!
Tony Schiavone interviews Kenny Omega.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to announce a big match coming up for our next Pay-Per-View, Double or Nothing, on May 30th.” So please welcome back the AEW World Champion, “the man who has all the gold right now,” Kenny Omega! The AAA Mega Champion, TNA Champion, Impact World Champion and of course AEW World Champion has his pack mule- er, friend, Nakazawa, carry the golden luggage for him as he walks out on stage. In all the years Schiavone has covered wrestling, he hasn’t seen a man with four world titles. Omega appreciates being talked up, but how many people here are ready for Blood & Guts?! Pretty much everyone!
How many people are here for an exciting match known as Blood & Guts?! Everyone! Well, that makes one of us. As we can see, Omega is very busy. He has the gold around his waist, he has gold around Nakazawa’s waist and arms, because Omega has been collecting gold all over the world! And now it has come to pass: the match to decide who will have “the most coveted prize in all of professional wrestling.” Omega is not here for fun and games, and barely wants to be here any longer than he has to, so Schiavone, please give us the announcement.
The announcement is that next week, the top two contenders to the AEW World Championship will go 1v1! PAC VS Orange Cassidy, with the winner moving on to Double or Nothing! Now see, this is what makes AEW so exciting! Wins and losses matter, which is why the #1 wrestler, PAC, a man that’s beaten Omega in the past and made him tap out and even pinned him in tag matches, Omega understands we want to see Pac VS Omega, two of the greatest wrestlers ever! So jeez, get to the point, make it Omega VS Pac for Double or Nothing! Say it, Schiavone! No, it’s Pac or Orange Cassidy. And speaking of, here IS Orange Cassidy!
Fans go nuts for Freshly Squeezed as Cassidy shoulder leans Schiavone. Wait, wait, wait. Omega is laughing. “Pac or who?” Orange Cassidy! Omega laughs even harder. Pac or this guy? No. Omega tells Schiavone he’ll handle this. “I understand what you mean for this company. I see people with hands in their pockets everywhere I go. I see little children dressing like Orange Cassidy for Halloween parties. I see junior high school students, high school students, dressed up like Orange Cassidy for their sock hops because they think it’s cool.
“I understand what you are: a feel-good wrestler. You’re popular. People love to want to be like you because they CAN! But they can never be like someone like me. And someone like you will never be championship material.” Fans boo that idea. Omega continues by saying, “In fact, the only thing championship material about you is something that you’ve clearly ripped off from me.” The sunglasses! Omega takes those from Cassidy, and says he fancies himself a “shades guy,” too. He made it popular, after all. What are these, anyway? Ray Bans? That’s legit. Limited edition, Freshly Squeezed, huh? What are these? $800? $1000?
Omega will say one thing: Cassidy will never take the title. But he will take up Omega’s valuable time. And thus, he’s taking these glasses from Cassidy. And he puts them on Nakazawa! They don’t really fit Nakazawa’s head but Omega likes how it looks. Omega gets in Cassidy’s face again and says he might be crazy, but those glasses look way better on Nakazawa. Oh, and compared to Cassidy, Nakazawa is more of a champion than him! So Omega VS Cassidy? Don’t count on it! See Cassidy in 10 years when he’s a fully grown adult! Until then, see him whenever, and they can talk about whatever. Later, dork! Omega mocks Cassidy, but will Cassidy make Omega the butt of the joke?
AEW returns and Miro speaks!
“I told the world that nobody’s gonna detract my destiny. I warned the locker room, you got a title, you got a problem!” Miro says the problem is here to collect. He has a contract, signed and states that in seven days, he has a date with destiny! Next week live, AEW Dynamite, Darby Allin and the TNT Championship are Miro’s! You can throw yourself off whatever you want, but there’s no avoiding this! Miro makes Schiavone read the contract, and it says that if Darby can’t participate, he’ll forfeit the title! Miro says he doesn’t want a forfeit, he doesn’t want a hand-out. Miro wants Darby to show up. healthy or not, it doesn’t matter because it won’t matter to Darby either.
In seven days, the world finds out when “the man who doesn’t mind dying meets the man who doesn’t mind killing him!” Strong words from the Best Man, but will he get to break through in AEW by taking the TNT Championship?
Blood & Guts: The Inner Circle VS The Pinnacle!
FINALLY, this match makes its debut in AEW! The parley between these factions decided that MJF’s team will have advantage, but Sammy Guevara dares them all to bring it on! Only once all 10 men are in the double cage will this match truly begin, and the only way to win is to make someone tap out or completely give up! There will be violence and pain, there will be suffering and sadism, but who will survive to say they are on the top of AEW’s mountain?
AEW returns as The Inner Circle make their entrance, ready to be the inmates of this asylum! The fans are singing Judas for Jericho as he and his team are about to do something truly brutal.

Dax and Cash do their best to regroup, MJF has the Pinnacle join together in one ring. They have Santana isolated, but the final countdown finishes! HERE COMES JERICHO!! Jericho gets the rest of the Inner Circle gathered and the bell rings! It finally begins as the 10 men stare down!
“This is Awesome!” as the ten men rush the ropes! They brawl and Santana and Ortiz go after FTR! Sammy and Spears are in one corner. Wardlow and Hager in another, and Jericho has FLOYD THE BASEBALL BAT! Jericho CRACKS whoever comes close, then gives extra to Spears! Spears climbs up the steel but he can’t get out! Jericho CLUBS Spears, then puts his head in a gap of the truss! Jericho hammers away, lets Spears free, but Spears kicks Jericho away! Spears holds on just so he won’t fall, and we go back to picture in picture.
Jericho whips and CLOBBERS Wardlow! Cash is down in the gap but Santana drags him back out. Jericho uses the chair to SMACK Wardlow, JAM Dax, and SMACK him on the back! Jericho holds the chair up high and surely the fans are fired up! Santana snap suplexes Cash to the bit of apron there is in the second ring! Jericho finds MJF and digs his fingers into MJF’s face! Ortiz and Dax brawl, Dax CHOPS Ortiz off his feet! Jericho gets MJF up, suplexes to hang him out to dry, and lets him flop to the mat. Dax starts tearing up ring mat and Spears starts undoing buckle bars? FTR whips Jericho hard into buckles! The Pinnacle is deconstructing the second ring as AEW goes to break!
AEW returns as The Pinnacle continues to pull the ring apart. FTR gets Proud ‘n’ Powerful but Santana & Ortiz fight free! Sammy joins in, they DOUBLE MINDBREAKER on exposed wood!! MJF has Jericho and Spears has the cross bar! Jericho gets free to give MJF a CODE BREAKER! Sammy SUPERKICKS Spears down! Hager whips Wardlow to a corner and SPLASHES him! Ortiz finds Spears, puts him in a Tree of Woe, and then uses Spears’ own chair to wedge him in! Sammy is adjacent, COAST2COAST with a VAN TERMINATOR!! The Spanish God may have just broken the Chair Man! Hager borrows Spears’ chair, and Jericho has the crossbar! Jericho CLOBBERS MJF with it!!
Fans are still fired up as the Inner Circle takes a breather. Santana has… a FORK!? Abdulla the Butcher would be proud as Ortiz holds MJF for Santana to JAB him!! MJF has a crimson mask now as Hager sits MJF up and talks trash. Jericho uses Floyd to CHOKE Wardlow! Wardlow refuses to give up so Jericho SLAMS him down! The Inner Circle fire off hands on MJF, then dig Cash’s face into steel! No one has given up yet, and the fans continue to cheer! Santana CLUBS Dax with a baton, Jericho DECKS MJF with a haymaker! Santana paints MJF with his own blood! Wardlow returns to fire off big hands on everyone, then FLAPJACKS Sammy! Hager staggers into a SPINEBUSTER!
Wardlow fires up, the only man not bleeding! But Santana uses the baton on a leg! Ortiz SMACKS Wardlow with a chair! And SMACKS him again! And again! Hager runs in but Wardlow tries to fireman’s carry! Ortiz and Santana both JAM Wardlow! Sammy CHAIRSHOTS, and Hager LARIATS Wardlow down!! The biggest and baddest cannot stand against the Inner Circle, and AEW goes picture in picture one last time!
The Inner Circle picks the bones of the Pinnacle as Jericho gives MJF a ROPE GUILLOTINE! MJF sputters and gasps but that’s not surrendering. Sammy grinds Spears down, PNP give FTR DDT’s to the bare wood, but still the Pinnacle is resolute. Hager digs his knees into Wardlow, Jericho slaps MJF around, Ortiz gives Cash ground ‘n’ pound, and Sammy chokes Spears with Floyd. MJF has a crimson mask, Dax fights back! Tully whips the ref into the railing?! Tully steals the keys!! He’s breaking into the cage! MJF gets out and starts climbing! But there’s no rule about escape, this ends nothing! Jericho SLAMS Tully with the door, and gives chase!
MJF makes it up top, but the fans fire up as Jericho heads up! The brawling continues inside the ring, senton for Dax and SPEAER for Spears! Jericho takes a moment to enjoy being so high up, and AEW returns to single picture as MJF realizes what’s happening! MJF sees Jericho joining him and he starts to panic! MJF begs Jericho for mercy, but we’re far beyond that! Jericho KICKS MJF then turns him for the WALLS OF JERICHO!! MJF endures, all eyes are on the roof, but MJF LOW BLOWS!! No disqualifications, but that wasn’t very honorable, either. MJF gets Jericho’s arm for the SALT OF THE EARTH FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Is Jericho going to give up!? Jericho shouts NO!!
MJF pulls as far back as he can, but Jericho still refuses! MJF lets go to STOMP the hand, SLAM it on the steel, and SLAM it again! MJF gets Jericho’s arm and BITES it!! Then, SALT OF THE EARTH! Jericho continues to endure, their teams still brawl inside the ring, but MJF lets go to STOMP Jericho’s arm again! MJF brings out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! DYNAMITE DIAMOND PUNCH!! Fans boo but Jericho being knocked out won’t win this! Hager makes Wardlow endure an Ankle Lock, but MJF gets an idea. MJF sees there’s no guard rails up there, and he grins. MJF stalks Jericho, fans freak out as he drags Jericho over and aims for the edge!
MJF tells Inner Circle to give up or he’s throwing Jericho off!! Hager tries to get at them from below, PNP go from the outside, Sammy says MJF has to stop! Sammy is saying they give up!?!? The Pinnacle wins?!?
Winner: The Pinnacle, by surrender
MJF grins as he wins the war, but at what cost? MJF sold out his humanity just to settle things with Jericho, and he looks like he still might do it! MJF stands Jericho up, assures us he won’t, and then he shoves Jericho down!! Jericho crashes down through the stage!! The Inner Circle shouts for medics, somehow Jericho is conscious, and MJF says, “THANK YOU.” MJF did as he promised in shoving Jericho off the top of the wrestling world and taking that spot for his own. But to think he’d shove Jericho off this steel mountain and down to the valley below. Is MJF unstoppable now that he’s won the most violent match in the most heinous way?
My Thoughts:
An awesome night for AEW, even without Blood & Guts. Now, if you’re not much for hardcore type matches like that, that’s totally understandable. And especially tonight, they did a ton of blood for this, and almost a little too much, but it was all still a very good adaptation of the WarGames formula. Having a lid on the cage was a good alteration, it made it more like a Hell in a Cell and of course made that finish possible. I knew from the beginning of the night that the stage was given a huge crash pad, but I didn’t expect it to be Jericho falling onto it. There were some sloppier, scarier parts in that match, but I’d chalk that to Wardlow, Sammy and Hager being rusty from not even having Dark matches.
The Inner Circle dominated the later half of the match so much, I should’ve figured they were losing, though. Jericho again puts over the younger guy he knows is money, and MJF looks like a real monster doing that even after he won. And while the singles titles are called for, MJF is definitely in line for whichever one he wants after this. We got great promos to set up things for the next few weeks and Double or Nothing just before Blood & Guts, too. Miro puts Darby Allin on notice, after Darby has that great brawl with Scorpio & Ethan, and surely Darby will be competing next week. Next week may be the night Darby’s last night as TNT Champion so that he can have a tag match with Scorpio & Ethan.
Cody VS QT was very good, even if it feels too soon to me. But as such, I should’ve figured Cody would win. Why? Because he’s Cody. QT should’ve faced Dustin tonight in just as good of a singles match, Cody returns, we get what we got last week here tonight with the brawl by the bus, and then we set up Cody VS QT for Double or Nothing in something huge. But Cody VS Ogogo isn’t a bad move, either, though there’s a hint of USA VS Not USA, a cliché I thought AEW was going to avoid so as not to be like WWE. I feel like Cody might actually put Ogogo over to build Ogogo up, but that’s a 50-50 shot to me.
Omega laughing at the idea that Orange Cassidy could be his challenger actually makes me think Cassidy is exactly doing that for Double or Nothing. PAC VS Cassidy is a great rematch in its own right, and Cassidy is definitely a fan favorite, as Omega brings up. Omega VS Cassidy will definitely be Cassidy’s best match in AEW, perhaps his entire career, and fans are going to hate Omega for perhaps screwing Cassidy during the match. There was a lot with the tag grudge match that makes me think Moxley and Kingston are moving into the tag division to take on the Good Brothers and the Bucks, titles optional, but that’d be pretty great for Moxley to become the first to have held AEW World and AEW Tag Team gold.
Speaking of, the Fatal 4 Tag to pick challengers was a really great match, especially for a Fatal 4 Tag. I criticized SCU for not getting as much drama out of their “titles or bust” story from December to now, but it has reached the result I knew it would have and should have. Bucks VS SCU is going to be instant classic material, provided they don’t have the Elite interfere. Either result is big and comes with big possibilities for after, but The Elite has story even without titles, and SCU carrying the belts for a bit (Kaz becoming the only two-time AEW tag champ) would really help the division. Double or Nothing could have a Bucks VS Mox & Kingston match and a tag title match separately to really beef up an already big card.
My Score: 9.3/10

Kenny Omega VS Brian Cage w/ The Don Callis Family!
It’s a battle of machines to begin Maximum Carnage! The Cleaner won at WrestleDynasty, then returned to AEW last week to assure us that while he may not be the Kenny Omega he once was, he’s still going to fight until he’s back on top! But will that comeback begin tonight? Or will not even the former AEW World Champion be better than Cage?

The fans boo, Callis gets away with all that, and Omega is busted open from hitting the desk hood, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref reprimands but Cage CHOPS Omega! Cage brings Omega around to then whip hard into more railing! The ring count is climbing again, but Cage digs his boot into Omega’s face!

The fans fire up for this brawl, but Fletcher slithers in! SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF on Omega! Takeshita hits a LARIAT on Omega! Ospreay returns to fire hands and CHOPS! But Kyle CLAWS Ospreay’s eyes! ALPHA ELBOW from Takeshita! The fans boo but now Kyle and Konosuke get Ospreay and Omega up! STEREO BRAINBUSTERS!! The fans boo as the Callis Family stands tall, though it helps that it was 4v2 in the end. But will the Family leave their former brothers in arms dead and buried in the past?
MVP speaks.
“I’m not just adept at managing the affairs of the Hurt Syndicate. I am an expert in managing how much oxygen you can breathe. For the first time in two-and-a-half years, MVP’s taking off the suit and lacing up the boots. We are the Hurt Syndicate…” Shelton Benjamin finishes the line with, “And we hurt people.” Will they do just that against Mark Briscoe & Private Party? We find out just after the break.
Chris Jericho speaks.
“Hi, guys~! Welcome to another New York Minute. I hope everybody’s enjoying Dynamite tonight right here in Cincinnati, in the heart of the Bluegrass State. But you’re gonna enjoy yourselves even more this Saturday on Collision, as we get ready for one of the biggest, most anticipated matches in Collision history. It’s gonna be The Learning Tree and Jon Moxley’s Death Riders VS Rated FTR, The Outrunners, and Powerhouse Hobbs.” Bryan Keith says, “That’s a dozen mother effers!” Jericho and Big Bill both give a concerned sideways glance, then Bill continues by saying, “As the Learning Tree always says, ‘Size matters.'”
Jericho says yes it does indeed, Redwood! And they also know all about their opponents, especially Rated FTR! The Learning Tree has already shown that Cope is a Dope, and Harwood is No Good! What’s Jericho got for Cash Wheeler? Uh… Wheeler… is a Kneeler! Get it? Like, he’s kneeling at the feet of the King of New York! Sick burn, LT. Jericho knows everyone is asking why Jericho and Moxley are tagging together, how could they possibly get along? Well, Jericho will say this. He has known Moxley a long time, and he can guarantee that they will be on the same page. Right? That’s it! Another New York Minute! Thanks, guys~!
Well, it is certainly a star-studded 6v6 set up for Saturday, but will things go Jericho’s way? Or will the #RatedFTRunners and The Book of Hobbs be the ones to punctuate Maximum Carnage?
“Everyone, show some love for… Ricochet!”
What? The fans boo as The One & Only makes his way out here, golden scissors in his lapel pocket. Those are the very same scissors Ricochet used to assault Swerve Strickland like a complete psycho! Ricochet tells the fans to hush before he steps into the ring, then he grabs a mic. The fans chant “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Ricochet is very annoyed by this, and he asks they all quiet down. The fans boo instead. Ricochet wants to speak but he’s rather flustered. The “SWERVE’S HOUSE” chants return and that riles Ricochet up a bit more. Ricochet paces, and says, “Y’know what? It’s okay. That’s how it’s gonna be? Listen. A picture is worth a thousand words.” And so on the tron is the image of Ricochet holding a bloodied Swerve up by his dreadlocks.
But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The man himself is here! Ricochet says okay, he’s ready. But no he’s not, cuz Nana slides in from the crowd! Nana SMACKS Ricochet on the back, then does his dance! The fans cheer as now the Most Dangerous Man walks his way out here, chain draped over his shoulders. Ricochet scrambles away before Swerve can lash him! Ricochet runs away into the crowd but Swerve is in pursuit! Swerve shoves security out of his way, but Ricochet’s escaped to the cold streets of Cincinnati! Will Swerve get his hands on his new target next time?
AEW shares “A Day in the Life of a CEO.”
That is to say, we’re following Mercedes Mone as she does her media rounds. “First, we make money.” Mone was a special guest on the Sherri Shepherd show shortly after winning even more gold at WrestleDynasty. Sherri got to admire the “Queen of Southside” Championship that comes along with the Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Championship, both of which Mone won off Mina Shirakawa. Mone signed autographs, took pictures with fans, and Sherri promised that she’ll be there whenever Mone’s in town. “Then, we shop.” Mone bought herself some new jewelry with the money she surely earned becoming a FOUR BELT CEO.
“Them, we train.” Mone knows it is a New Year, and she is dripping with gold! She also knows having four belts puts an even bigger target on her back, but she stays ready! Whoever wants to jump on the Money Train next, let’s go! #MoneChangesEverything, but will she continue to stack dollars and collect titles?
Six Man Tag: Mark Briscoe & Private Party VS The Hurt Syndicate!
The Sussex County Chicken was not a chicken when it came to facing down any of the men in the Hurt Syndicate, but that’s why he ended up getting beat up 3v1! Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy came to Briscoe’s rescue, especially since they were told to their faces that the Hurt Syndicate wants the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Will MVP, the Standard of Excellence & The All Mighty begin on their New Year’s Resolution to hurt people? Or can Briscoe, Quen & Zay #ManUp and take the fight to them?
The trios sort out, but the Syndicate just attacks all at once! The bell rings, Briscoe and MVP stay in the ring but Lashley & Shelton drag Private Party out of the ring! And send them into railing! MVP UPPERCUTS Briscoe to a corner, stomps a mudhole in, then ELBOWS Briscoe down. MVP fires hands, then reels him in for a suplex. Briscoe slips free to CHOP! And ROCK! And CHOP again! Briscoe whips corner to corner, MVP reverse, but Briscoe goes up and out! Briscoe SWATS the haymaker to UPPERCUT back! Briscoe goes up to MISSILE DROPKICK! Cover, ONE!! MVP shows his own grit but Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe UPPERCUTS MVP, throws hands, then fires more hands in the corner. Briscoe whips, MVP reverses, but Briscoe avoids a boot! Briscoe runs up, but MVP BOOTS again! The fans are torn but MVP looms over Briscoe. MVP drags Briscoe up, then ROCKS him! MVP brings Briscoe around, TOSSES him out, then tags to Shelton. Shelton storms over to Briscoe, and sends him into railing! And then into the apron! And back to railing! And back to apron! Shelton scoops and SLAMS Briscoe on the floor, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Shelton leaves Briscoe behind to the mercy of the ring count, but Briscoe stirs already. Briscoe crawls, but Shelton tags Lashley, and Lashley drags Briscoe up. Lashley RAMS Briscoe into the apron, APRON URENAGES, then shoves Briscoe in. Lashley fires up, runs in, and RAMS Briscoe in the corner! Lashley then brings Briscoe around for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Another cover, TWO! A third cover, TWO!! Lashley is frustrated but he drags Briscoe into a chinlock. Lashley tags MVP, and they mug Briscoe while he’s down. The ref reprimands but MVP fires knees into Briscoe again and again. MVP then scoops to SLAM Briscoe down!
MVP runs to drop a KNEE! Cover, TWO! Briscoe stays in this but MVP covers again, TWO! Another cover, TWO!! Briscoe is toughing it out but MVP brings him over. Tag to Shelton and now they mug Briscoe in the corner. Shelton fires hands on Briscoe against the ropes, then snapmares him. Shelton clamps on a chinlock and he grinds Briscoe down. Briscoe endures, fights up, and fires body shots! Briscoe runs, but into an ELBOW! Shelton tags MVP, and MVP looms over Briscoe. MVP stomps Briscoe, then brings him up again. Briscoe fires body shots and forearms, but MVP ROCKS him! Briscoe CHOPS back!
Briscoe fires hands on Shelton & Lashley, but MVP ROCKS Briscoe! MVP drags Briscoe up, reels him in, and snap suplexes! Cover, TWO! Maximum Carnage returns to single picture as MVP has Briscoe up again. Briscoe fires more body shots, then firearms! MVP throat chops, then SMASHES Briscoe off his knee! The fans are torn but MVP feels it. MVP runs to “BALLIN~!” ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Briscoe stays in this but MVP drags him up. MVP hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect but the fans rally. Briscoe fires forearms on MVP, MVP hits back. MVP whips, but Briscoe ducks ‘n’ dodges to CLOBBER MVP!
The fans fire up while MVP and Briscoe are both down! Briscoe and MVP crawl, Private Party is fired up, and we get hot tags to Shelton and Zay! Zay ROCKS Shelton, springboards and CROSSBODIES! Zay then bobs ‘n’ weaves to fire “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Shelton shoves Zay but Zay pop-up DROPKICKS! The fans fire up with Zay, he tags Quen. MVP runs in, Private Party dodges to DOUBLE DORPKICK! Shelton’s back up, but he gets DOUBLE DROPKICKS! Lashley storms in but into DOUBLE DROPKICKS! Lashley rebounds, but into DOUBLE DORPKICKS again! Lashley falls out and fans fire up!
Private Party holds the way open for Briscoe to DIVE! The cannonball tope takes Lashley out! But MVP & Shelton both back suplex! Private Party lands out, and they both dodge! Quen PELES Shelton, Zay QUEBRADAS MVP! The fans fire up again as Private Party focuses on MVP. Quen whips Zay and Zay LARIATS MVP and himself up and out of the ring! Shelton spins Quen around to kick low! Shelton brings Quen up but Quen fights the bomb! Quen then hits a JUMPING FLATLINER! Cover, TWO!! Quen almost hit Paydirt on the Standard of Excellence, but we see Lashley THROW Briscoe overhead and to the floor!
Quen calls to Zay and then sets up. Zay runs in, PARTY IN MOTION! Zay brings Shelton around, Quen kicks low! TWIST OF- NO, Shelton stops that, and feeds Quen to a MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER! Zay leaps, into Shelton’s arms! GERMAN SUPLEX! Private Party ends up at the ropes, Lashley runs to SPEAR Zay! Quen staggers up, MVP BOOTS Briscoe for good measure! Shelton brings Quen in, GERMAN SUPLEX! Then a SUPERKICK! Cover, Hurt Syndicate wins!
Winners: The Hurt Syndicate, by pinfall
MVP raises the hands of his associates, and they just got a pin on the AEW World Tag Team Championships! Will nothing stop Shelton & Lashley from taking those titles off of Private Party?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
After Swerve Strickland almost got his revenge on Ricochet, these two will have THREE WEEKS to prepare themselves for a showdown! Dynamite will be in Atlanta, Georgia on February 5th, who will survive this grudge match?
Jeff Jarrett is here!
Cincinnati cheers as Double J makes his way to the ring, and he grabs a mic to say, “What’s up, Cincinnati? Y’know, the last few weeks, I mean, they sure have been humbling for me.” But then before he can say more, MJF makes his way out here! The fans are torn seeing the Wolf of Wrestling strut out here, and he has them cut his music. MJF steps into the ring with Jarrett, throws his gum into the crowd, and says, “Humbling? Jeff Jarrett, you have yet to learn the definition of the word. Last week, I gave you the opportunity of a lifetime, bud. And you had the audacity to turn me down?”
Jarrett tells Max to not even get started. MJF was too lazy to enter the gauntlet, so he came up with some scheme- MJF shouts for Jarrett to NEVER interrupt him!! The fans boo but MJF cools off. He just wants “Jeffery” to get real. This is MJF. If MJF retired tomorrow, he’d go into the AEW Hall of Fame! He’s a living legend! Jarrett walks around like he is one, too, and he sure has the “dumb shmucks” convinced. But allow MJF to “school all the simple-minded folk on the real legacy of The Last Outlaw. Emphasis on ‘Last,’ because Jeff Jarrett is the last thing you see before your favorite wrestling company dies.”
The fans boo but Jarrett laughs that off. MJF tells Double J that this last year with the possibility of him winning MJF’s Triple B would be “a whole lot cuter and warmer and fuzzier” if Jarrett wasn’t “literally the definition of a pro-wrestling grim reaper.” The fans boo, MJF says he is talking, so what’re they doing? Shut up! MJF continues by saying that when he thinks on Jarrett’s career, it is enough to make him wanna drink. Oh… Sorry, MJF took it way too far. He knows Jarrett is a raging alcoholic. Recovering! Sorry, MJF meant recovering. But hey, MJF just had a great idea! “Listen to me, you fat skank, I’m talking, shut your fat mouth!”
The fans boo but MJF goes on to say he has a great idea. How about for the health of AEW and for Jarrett, MJF sends Jarrett packing back to rehab where he belongs. But hey, do MJF a favor before then. Make sure that sexy wife of his, Karen, sticks around. MJF happens to be a big fan of hers. But hey, he’s not a monster, he’s the Salt of the Earth. So when MJF’s “through with her,” he’ll ship her back to Tennessee for Jarrett. That way, Jarrett can be the first man in history to know what a generational talent and an Olympic gold medalist’s nuts taste like!! The fans boo but Jarrett still laughs MJF off.
“Max, Max, Max… Not only everything you just said was crude and stupid, but it’s all been said before a thousand times. It’s all been done before a thousand times. But let’s get to the heart of the matter, Max. Let’s get to business.” Jarrett knows the best years of his career are behind him. But last Summer, when Jarrett entered the Owen Hart Cup, the AEW fans awakened a passion in him. The fans cheer that! The fans awakened a desire Jarrett didn’t even know he still had. And Jarrett will do everything in his power to keep that fire going, to keep that passion going, because it’s the one thing that puts him on track to the AEW World Championship.
The fans cheer again, and Jarrett tells Max, back to that shtick. MJF thinks he can just poke fun at Jarrett, have his zingers, and hurt Jarrett’s feelings, right? Oh, Max, Jarrett was MJF before MJF was MJF! Everything MJF can say or do, Jarrett has done. He did it before MJF, and he did it better than you. But hey, hold on! Before we get all bent out of shape, MJF kinda confused Jarrett. Jarrett isn’t sure if MJF’s a dumbass or a scumbag. But knowing where MJF comes from, maybe it’s all the above. Because hear Jarrett out, there are days where Jarrett feels sorry for MJF. The fans chant, “He’s Our Scumbag!” and Jarrett agrees.
But see, Jarrett has some family history on this scumbag. MJF had a tough upbringing. It must’ve been tough being raised by a call girl for a mother. And MJF’s ambulance chancing attorney of an old man, well, it must be tough being raised by that. Jarrett knows for a fact that when Mr. Friedman knocked Mrs. Friedman up, she still made him pay for that. MJF is seething but Jarrett tells him to hold on. The old saying goes, “We all marry our mommies.” So that’s very fitting for MJF when his old lady is nothing but a Canadian call girl.
And oh, one final thing. This very ring, the night MJF was tearing the house down with Will Ospreay, that was just his version of 60 Minutes Through. At the same time, in the back parking lot, his old lady was doing her version of 60 Minutes Through, with about ten other wrestlers! Max, look at Jarrett! MJF needs Jarrett, and he doesn’t even know why. But it’s because MJF is drowning in his own s*it! MJF may be lazy, entitled, and a pr*ck, but deep down, he’s a scared little boy. MJF was scared to enter the enter the gauntlet, scared that at just 28 years of age, his best years are behind him, and he’s scared of ever getting back on top.
And like Jarrett said last week, MJF is scared of becoming a one hit wonder! The fans chant “One Hit Wonder!” at MJF, but MJF says no no no! One Hit Wonder? Scared? MJF is NOTHING like Jarrett! MJF didn’t need his daddy to make him a top guy, MJF didn’t need to start his own company to be a top guy, because MJF made MJF! We saw in the past what happens when Jarrett is “King of the Mountain,” but let’s talk about when MJF is king. MJF is the only man to thank for the biggest pro-wrestling show of all time: 82 THOUSAND, Wembley Stadium, AEW All In! MJF is the one to thank for the record PPV buys, record TV ratings, and record ticket sales!
MJF was the BEST IN THE WORLD! The fans do cheer that. MJF says Jarrett can laugh all he wants, because then MJF got screwed. Screwed out of his world championship! His name, his legacy, his reputation, dragged through the mud to this day! The same people who put MJF on a pedestal now have willingly, with a smile on their face, taken it out from under and treated him like nothing! MJF ain’t nothing! And MJF will tell Jeff something! MJF doesn’t want to win the world title, he NEEDS to win it so he can shove it down every single one of their throats! But instead, MJF has to wait in line for Jeff Jarrett?
MJF laughs and say should on here. With all due respect, the people aren’t very bright. And with all due respect, no wrestling fan has ever given a single, solitary s*it about Jarrett. But y’know what really pisses MJF off, Slapnuts? The fact that “just because” Jarrett was best friends with Owen Hart, Jarrett thinks he his owed a grand finale? Jarrett may have had all these stupid, simple-minded shmucks convinced, but MJF sees through Jarrett’s BS. During the Owen Cup, Jeff saw through the “carny succubus.” Jarrett is nothing more than a LEECH, riding the coattails of his DEAD FRIEND!
Oh, did MJF strike a chord now? He thought Jarrett was all tough. Or does he just not like it when MJF talks about his old pal, Owen Hart? JARRETT DECKS MJF! Jarrett rains down fists and the fans fire up! Security rushes out there and they drag Jarrett away, but Jarrett throws them all away! Jarrett CLOBBERS MJF, but Karen rushes out here! Karen gets Jeff to stop, but then MJF grabs Karen in a SLEEPER! The fans boo, MJF throws Karen at Jeff, then runs away. The Wolf of Wrestling is again a worm, will The Last Outlaw make sure to exterminate him once and for all?

AEW hears from the Men’s Casino Gauntlet participants.
Roderick Strong tells “JAAAAY… White,” that Roddy should’ve won that #1 spot in the Casino Gauntlet, but he wants White to know that Roddy’s not done with him yet. The Switchblade’s response is that Roddy Strong shoulda-coulda-woulda. If Roddy wanted to win so badly, he should’ve tried harder. As for Wheeler Yuta, he was the one to stop White. So if Yuta wants White’s attention, then fine! He’s got it! As for Adam Cole, he said that match had the best of the best. It had Hangman Page, it had Daniel Garcia, and- Kyle O’Reilly stops Cole there. Danny Garcia? Really? Kyle doesn’t see it. Not everyone is as good as they say they are, Adam.
Garcia himself says people keep saying that Garcia is stretching himself just a little bit thin. If he’s TNT Champion, why’s he in the Continental Classic? Why’s he in a Casino Gauntlet? Garcia wants to fight every single week! So if you want a shot at Garcia’s gold… Cole says The Undisputed Kingdom IS as good as they say they are, and in 2025, they promise us… #LetsGetIt! The Kingdom will get their hands on gold, and that is undisputed! Everyone’s gunning for someone, but who gets what they want? And who gets just what they deserve?
Backstage interview with Jeff Jarrett.
AEW returns as Renee Paquette is with Double J, and she brings up that confrontation between him and MJF. Jarrett said the AEW audience has awoken the passion in him, and that MJF is scared. But then MJF got under Jarrett’s skin, so where do they go from here? Jarrett takes a moment to think, but then Dustin Rhodes steps in! The Natural says what MJF said pissed him off, too. Dustin asks Jarrett, “How many years have we known each other? How many years have we driven up and down these roads, grinding our asses off because of the passion and love for this business? A lot. He doesn’t know a thing about that, and you know that.”
Dustin says MJF’s been in this business a minute, yet he’ll dictate to Jarrett and disrespect him? THAT pisses Dustin off! Dustin is 110% behind Jarrett, and wants Jarrett to fulfill the dream of becoming AEW World Champion. Max doesn’t know everything that guys like Jarrett and Dustin have been through. Knocked down, dragged through s*it, and then gotten back up, because that’s what they do! MJF has no clue! Whatever MJF does to Jarrett, Dustin knows Jarrett’s been through it. Just like Dustin has. But remember this: You’re Jeff Jarrett! A 12-TIME WORLD CHAMPION, and that means something!
Jarrett is the Last Outlaw, and outlaws never die. So please, just remember this. The two of them, they are the very last of their kind. Will this motivation from the dual ROH World Tag Team & ROH World Six Man Tag Champion be fuel on the fire that Jarrett uses to reach the mountaintop?
Mariah May is here!
The Glamour brings her AEW Women’s World Championship to commentary as she prepares to watch the women’s division fight for their shot at her.
AEW Women’s World Championship #1 Contender’s Casino Gauntlet!
The gentlemen had their fun, now the ladies finally get to roll the dice! The first-ever Women’s Casino Gauntlet will send one woman to Grand Slam: Australia, who faces “The Woman From Hell” when AEW goes Down Under?
Kris Statlander is first, a right she earned when she defeated Willow Nightingale and Toni Storm in last week’s Triple Threat. But who starts with her? It’s JAMIE HAYTER! Hayter Hits Hard, but will she punch her ticket to Australia? The bell rings, we’re on the clock, and Mariah thanks commentary for having her. She also asks Taz that now that he’s got a new knee, wanna roll around later? Taz says he is happily married but he’s flattered by the offer. Oh, she meant in the ring. Well, Taz is also retired, so he can’t. Meanwhile, Hayter and Kris tie up, go around, go along the ropes, and the fans duel.
Mariah says Hayter is the best woman to come out of Britain not named Mariah May. The ref counts a ropebreak but Hayter and Kris move off ropes. Hayter headlocks, Kris powers up but can’t pull out as Hayter holds on. Kris tries again, gets free, and they RAM shoulders! The fans cheer as neither woman budges. Hayter runs, RAMS Kris again, then kicks low! Hayter runs, Kris dodges and she runs Hayter over! The fans fire up while Kris flexes, but Hayter stands up. Hayter runs up, Kris avoids a boot but Hayter ducks a roundhouse. Hayter ripcords, Kris ducks the lariat and comes back, but now Hayter dodges!
Both women run in, and DOUBLE LARIATS collide! Neither woman falls, but then Hayter BOOTS Kris! The fans fire up and Mariah says she might actually prefer fighting someone tonight so she won’t have to fly down to Australia. Hayter CLUBS away on Kris, kicks her down, then brings her up for a suplex. Kris slips free, shoves Hayter, but Hayter rebounds. Hayter ducks a lariat, the countdown is here, but Kris kicks low! FISHERMAN BUSTER! But number three is here, and it’s… MEGAN BAYNE!? Even Mariah is shocked to see “The Megasus” return to AEW after quite the stint in Stardom, GCW, and has even won the HOG Women’s Championship!
Mariah laughs in disbelief, is Bayne even eligible for this match? Where’s her “is All Elite” graphic? Go ask Tony Khan where that tweet is! Bayne still steps into the ring, and she stands face to face with Kris! The fans fire up as the forearms fly! Bayne ROCKS Kris, RAMS her into the corner again and again, then CHOPS! Bayne whips corner to corner, runs up, and SPLASHES! Then she whips again, but Kris reverses! Kris UPPERCUTS Bayne, runs corner to corner, but Bayne LEAPING LARIATS! The fans fire up and Bayne hauls Kris to her feet. Bayne suplexes, Kris fights that to suplex, but Bayne fights back!
Bayne suplexes to FALCON ARROW! Cover, Hayter breaks it! The fans fire up as now Hayter stares Bayne down. Hayter fires forearms, but Bayne is not impressed! Hayter runs, but Bayne kicks her low! Bayne reels Hayter in, suplexes, and she holds Hayter up! The countdown is back, but Hayter counters with a DDT! The fourth woman is here, and it’s… JULIA HART! The Princess of the Black Throne got a win off Hayter not that long ago, and she dares Hayter to come back for more! They brawl at the ramp! The fans fire up as Hayter CLUBS away on Julia, then snap suplexes her on the ramp! Julia writhes, Kris and Bayne brawl ringside, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Mariah is only a little worried, but Hayter CLUBS away on Julia in the ring. Bayne sends Kris into barriers! Hayter and Julia fire fists, then Hayter ROCKS Julia! Hayter whips, Julia reverses and wrenches to STO! Cover, Kris breaks it! Kris drags Julia up but Julia JAWBREAKERS free! Julia fires forearms, then whips, but Kris reverses. Kris runs in at the corner, but Julia STOMPS her down! Julia storms around, goes to the far corner, then runs back in. But Kris hits a SNAP POWERSLAM! Kris drags Julia up, TOSSES her out, and Bayne is there to scoop Julia! SLAM to the floor! Julia writhes but Bayne storms into the ring.
Kris and Bayne meet again, and Bayne pie faces Kris! Kris pie faces back! The pie faces go back and forth, then turn into forearms! Kris and Bayne fire fast ‘n’ furious shots, then Bayne ROKCS Kris! Bayne runs, but Kris ROCKS her! Kris runs, but Bayne follows to ROCK her back! Bayne runs, but Kris UPEPRCUTS her! And CHOPS! And ROCKS! And CHOPS! Repeat! Kris keeps on Bayne again and again, then runs, only for Bayne to fireman’s carry! Kris fights free, ROUNDHOUSES Bayne, then PELES! Kris roars, runs, but gets caught! EXPLODER! Bayne fires up, and Julia POSTS Hayter! Julia stomps away on Hayter, Bayne brings Kris up, and snap suplexes her!
Maximum Carnage returns to single picture as Kris flops out of the ring. Julia CLUBS Hayter, and the countdown is back! Bayne waits on the fifth woman, and it’s… WILLOW NIGHTINGALE! Mariah sighs, but the Babe with the Power steps right to Bayne! Willow BOOTS, but Bayne just frowns. Willow fires forearms, then whips, but Bayne reverses to ROCK Willow! And BOOT her down! Kris returns to waistlock Bayne, but she ducks an elbow! JAWBREAKER, HAYMAKER, then Kris CLUBS away on Bayne! Hayter turns things around on Julia and whips her hard into barriers! Willow & Kris work together to DOUBLE SUPLEX Bayne!
The fans fire up, and Kris & Willow smile as it’s like the old days. Mariah mocks the “friendship” while the two square up. Willow CHOPS Kris, Kris CHOPS back, repeat! The fans “WOO~” as each CHOP echoes out! Willow ducks a chop, shoves Kris, then runs to POUNCE~! PERIOD! The countdown is back already, and the sixth woman is… TONI STORM! The Rockstar “Rookie” is back, and Mariah really hates seeing this. Toni storms in in but willow fireman’s carries! Toni sunset flips, TWO! Willow storms up but into a snapmare! Toni RUNS Willow over, snapmares Julia and runs her over!
Hayter is back, Toni snapmares her to run her over! Then a snapmare and shoulder tackle for Kris! The fans fire up with Toni and Mariah mockingly plays along, “What a great rookie!” But Bayne CLOBBERS Toni! Bayne fireman’s carries Toni, then THROWS her out onto Kris! The fans rally, “She’s a Rookie!” Willow CLOBBERS Bayne! Hayter BOOTS Willow! Julia kicks Hayter to DDT! Willow LARIATS Julia! The fans fire up as Willow stands tall, and she goes to the apron. CROSSBODY onto Bayne! Willow smiles and poses, the fans cheer, and Willow drags Bayne up. Bayne and Willow throw hands, but Kris is on the stage?
The fans fire up as Kris SUPER CANNONBALLS! Down goes Willow & Bayne, and the fans fire up with Kris! But Toni HIP ATTACKS Kris off the apron! Julia BLASTS Toni! Julia and Hayter are all alone, Cincy fires up for “Women’s Wrestling!” but also the countdown! Julia and Hayter fire fast ‘n’ furious fists, but the seventh woman is… HARLEY CAMERON! Mariah sighs again as everyone now will FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs up to ROCK Julia, then bump her off buckles! Harley goes up, in, and dodges Julia to ENZIGIRI! Cover, Hayter breaks it with a deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! Hayter snarls but Julia runs up to clinch!
Hayter wrenches free, clinches, and HAYT-BREAKER! But Harley rolls Hayter up! TWO!! Hayter escapes, Harley ENZIGIRIS! “FEEL THA WRATH~!” Harley runs, but into a HAYT-BREAKER! Hayter pumps up, for the HAYTER- NO, Harley ducks the lariat! But Julia’s BLACK MIST hits Harley full in the face! Then SUPERKICK for Hayter! Julia runs to BLINDSIDE LARIAT! But Toni snatches Julia into a cradle! TONI WINS!!
Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW Women’s World Championship)
Mariah is mockingly happy for “the rookie,” and Toni herself is stunned that she’s getting a world title match in her home country! This is quite the remake of a timeless classic, but will they flip the script on the original? Or will it still be All About Mariah?
AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley w/ The Death Riders VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs!
The last time The Maniac was in the Book of Hobbs, it was AEW Homecoming, and it was for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Moxley didn’t so much win as he did retain, given Hobbs went down with injury rather quickly. But while Moxley traded NJPW’s top title for AEW’s, Hobbs only has a bigger chip on his shoulder. Will Hobbs come through on his promise to make Jon Moxley his b*tch? Or will Moxley make sure his homecoming is a victorious one?
The introductions are made, but Moxley delays getting in the ring so that the rest of the Death Riders can flank the ring! Hobbs sees Pac, he sees Claudio, but then Moxley runs in and CLOBBERS Hobbs! The bell rings, the fans boo, but Moxley fires forearms in a corner! Moxley doesn’t stop as the ref counts, the ref tries to back him off, but Moxley gets in the ref’s face about it. Hobbs storms up to hoist Moxley up! OVERHEAD SUPLEX! Hobbs fires hands on Moxley now, the fans fire up, but the ref counts. Hobbs ROCKS Moxley, then stalks him to a corner. Hobbs CLUBS Moxley in the chest, then stalks him to another corner.
Hobbs pushes Moxley against buckles, CLUBS him again, then paces. The fans rally, Hobbs whips, but Moxley KCIKS and CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Hobbs just scowls, so Moxley fires forearms! Moxley runs, but Hobbs RUNS Moxley over! The fans fire up, but there are some Moxley fans still in Cincy. Hobbs goes out after Moxley and ROCKS him! Moxley dangles over barriers, but Hobbs CLUBS him! The ref wants this in the ring so Hobbs pushes him in. Hobbs storms in, Moxley fires kicks, then fires forearms! Moxley runs, BOOTS Hobbs, and he has Hobbs in the ropes!
Moxley runs, BOOTS Hobbs again, then he runs! Moxley DIVES and hits Hobbs into barriers! Moxley pursues, they go around the timekeeper’s area, and now they brawl in the crowd! The fans fire up, Hobbs CHOPS Moxley, but the ref wants this in the ring! Hobbs pursues Moxley, CLUBS him, then keeps after him. They go back to ringside, Hobbs CLAWS Moxley’s back, then shoves him over barriers! Hobbs stalks Moxley back into the ring, Moxley wants Hobbs to hold on, and then Moxley CLAWS Hobbs’ face! Then he BITES Hobbs’ face! Moxley has Hobbs in a corner and rains down fists! The fans count to TEN, then Moxley flips Hobbs off!
Cincy is all fired up, both for and against Moxley, but Hobbs just glares up at him. Moxley talks trash, but Hobbs carries Moxley from the corner! Moxley fires elbows, but Hobbs RAMS him into buckles! Hobbs puts Moxley up top, climbs up after him, and he pulls on that earring in Moxley’s left ear! Hobbs tells the ref to back off, and then he BITES Moxley’s ear! And then BITES it again! Is he trying to eat the earring?! The ref counts, Hobbs lets off and lets Moxley tumble while fans tell him he’s sick. Moxley staggers up, but Hobbs BLASTS him off the apron! The fans rally while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Hobbs snarls, just a bit of blood in his teeth from biting Moxley. Hobbs paces while Marina Shafir checks on Moxley. Hobbs then goes out the side, storms around the way, and he looms over Moxley. Hobbs whips Moxley into barriers! Moxley tumbles over and into the timekeeper’s area! Hobbs is after Moxley with a rain of fists! The ref reprimands, Hobbs stops and goes back to the ring. Hobbs then goes back out to fetch Moxley. Hobbs BITES the ear again! Moxley pushes Hobbs away and staggers around, that ear definitely bleeding. Hobbs storms up to BITE the ear more! Hobbs is going savage, but Moxley dares him to do more!
Moxley fires a forearm, but Hobbs juts ROCKS Moxley! Moxley staggers away, Hobbs pursues him to the steel steps, and they both go back to the ring. Moxley staggers around a little more, and Hobbs pumps up! Hobbs ROCKS Moxley again! Moxley bounces off ropes then falls over! Hobbs stalks Moxley, drags him up, and he ROCKS Moxley again! Moxley wobbles but stays up, even with that ear bleeding. Moxley fires a forearm, but Hobbs shrugs that off. Moxley fires another forearm, and another, and another! Hobbs ROCKS Moxley again! Moxley falls over, the ref checks him, but Moxley is already rising back up.
Moxley pounds the mat, and he eggs Hobbs on. Hobbs BOOTS Moxley down! Moxley rises, the blood from his ear making more a crimson scarf than a mask. Hobbs BOOTS Moxley again! Moxley roars, so Hobbs BOOTS him again! Maximum Carnage returns to single picture as Moxley rises up. Hobbs BOOTS him, but Moxley SLAPS Hobbs! Hobbs runs, but into a CUTTER! Moxley lured Hobbs into a trap, but both men are down! The fans fire up as Moxley crawls, and Moxley dares Hobbs to bring the fight. Both men stand, Moxley fires a forearm, but Hobbs returns fire! The fans are torn as the forearms go back and forth!
Hobbs runs, Moxley TOSSES him out! Moxley distracts the ref so that Marina can BOOT Hobbs! The fans definitely boo that, but Moxley goes out to drag Hobbs up. Moxley puts Hobbs in, takes aim, and then underhooks Hobbs! Hobbs powers up, breaks free, then CLOBBERS Moxley! Moxley flounders to a corner, the fans rally and duel, and Hobbs feeds off the “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs runs up to CLOBBER Moxley! Moxley rises, Hobbs LARIATS again! Mox is back up, Hobbs SPLASHES in the corner! Hobbs winds up to fire point-blank LARIATS in the corner again and again! The fans rally, Hobbs stops at the ref’s count.
Hobbs scoops, Moxley slips free! Underhook and- NO, Hobbs scoops Moxley! WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM!! Cover, TWO!! Moxley survives, Marina is relieved, but Hobbs puts Moxley on the top rope. Hobbs climbs, scoops, and lifts Moxley for a SUPER SWINGING POWERSLAM! But Moxley rolls through to have the ARMBAR!! Moxley pulls on the arm, Hobbs endures, and the fans duel even harder! Moxley pulls but Hobbs manages to clasp hands! Hobbs turns and has the ROPEBREAK! Moxley lets go, but then he has Hobbs for a KIMURA int he ropes! The ref counts, Moxley stops and Hobbs crawls to the ramp.
The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but this show has to end somehow. Hobbs rises, and WHEELER YUTA BUSAIKU KNEES!! The Decoder finally shows himself and it was at the most opportune time! The fans boo as Yuta then slithers away, and Moxley goes out after Hobbs. Moxley drags Hobbs into the ring, then vows to end this! But Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER!! The fans fire up and Hobbs brings down the straps! Hobbs snarls, brings Moxley up into a torture rack, but Moxley slips free! SLEEPER! Hobbs goes to the ropes, BUCKS Moxley, but then Marina SMACKS Hobbs with the title briefcase!!
The fans boo again but Moxley rolls Hobbs up! TWO?!?! Hobbs survives another cheap shot and the fans fire up! Moxley underhooks, PARADIGM SHIFT!! Cover, TWO!??! Moxley is furious but he clamps on the BULLY CHOKE!! Hobbs endures, but he fades out! Moxley wins!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (still AEW World Champion)
Hobbs lost only because this turned into a 5v1 handicap match! And speaking of, that’s what’s happening again as The Death Riders mug Hobbs! They stomp away, then sit Hobbs up. Claudio has a chair! But Hobbs THROWS Yuta, CHOKES Pac, but Claudio CHOP BLOCKS the bad leg! Claudio pulls the leg brace off while Pac & Mox CHOKE Hobbs! Yuta adds stomps, and Moxley SMASHES the bad leg! Claudio puts the chair around the bad leg, they want to put Hobbs back on the shelf! Claudio STOMPS the chair!! But here comes Rated FTR!! A little too late, unfortunately, and The Death Riders retreat.
Adam Copeland, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood check on Hobbs, but there’s a chance the 12 Man Tag just turned into a 6v5 Handicap Match. Will anyone ever be able to stop Moxley’s reign of terror? Or will the carnage not end with Collision?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for AEW, though I’m not sure on their own claim of “It’s like a PPV on TV!” I only say that because we got the usual TV level shenanigans in a few of these matches. Omega VS Cage was a great match for Omega’s return to AEW, but Omega VS Gabe at WrestleDynasty is a hard act to follow. Great win for Omega, but of course The Don Callis Family beats him up. A little surprised they also got the better of Ospreay, but when it was 4v2, that made sense. I’m sure we’ll get Omega & Ospreay against like, Archer & Cage, that’s a win, and then Omega & Ospreay face Kyle & Konosuke. Maybe that’s another win, maybe not, but it feels like they want Omega VS Konosuke for something big, especially while Konosuke is a double champion.
Very good promo from MVP before the Six Man Tag, but did we need a New York Minute with Jericho? Well, I guess it had to happen some time so Jericho could get his digs in on Rated FTR, but maybe it could’ve been after the Six Man Tag? We got that promo and the Mercedes Mone vignette between MVP’s promo and the Six Man Tag and it seemed like an odd choice. Mone’s promo was still good stuff, and an idea of Mone VS Athena is floating around the fandom. I feel like they’d save that closer to All In: Texas, as Athena is from Texas. That’s months from now but I could still see both Mone and Athena having the belts they have now going into that match.
Great Six Man Tag but I figured the Hurt Syndicate would win. And while we got a good promo from all the different Casino Gauntlet entries, I really hope TK isn’t pivoting away from Garcia VS Shelton for the TNT Championship. Granted, Kyle O’Reilly VS Daniel Garcia would make an awesome one-off. Jay White VS Roddy Strong will also be a really good 1v1 match, but I would think White sticks to going after Yuta and the Death Riders. Very good promo from Ricochet, in that he barely got to say anything because of the Heel heat he’s got. Swerve & Nana getting the drop on Ricochet was good stuff, too, but I have no idea why we’re waiting THREE WEEKS for their match when it won’t even be on Grand Slam: Australia or anything.
Okada VS Ishii for Collision is great stuff, but I don’t understand when that promo they showed happened. Did I somehow miss it last Saturday on Collision? Or was that supposed to be part of tonight’s show that they had to trim for time? And I think I can see why they’d have to trim it: MJF and Jeff Jarrett took too damn long to get to the point. Both guys made good points, but they either played to the crowd too much, or Jarrett was searching for the words to insult MJF back. Dustin having a part was good, too, but I don’t see him factoring into the rest of the story.
Great match from Christian VS Hook, and I suppose the disqualification finish protects both sides. Was Joe out that long for injury? It’s the only thing that would explain why Joe never returned to finish things with Jericho while it was still relevant. Now, Joe, Hook & Shibata are feuding with Patriarchy instead Great stuff with the Women’s Casino Gauntlet, such as Megan Bayne making a great return to AEW. Though I’m sure they could’ve added a couple more entrants to beef this up a bit more. Again, maybe time constraints because of MJF and Jarrett. But in the end, what a clever way to get us back to Mariah VS Toni. There’s literally a month left to build this, I can’t wait to see the promos from “new girl” Toni with “veteran” Mariah.
And of course, a great match from Moxley VS Hobbs, especially with Hobbs going for ear blood. But of course The Death Riders got involved all over the place to screw Hobbs out of that win. At least Hobbs still got to look strong surviving as many cheap tactics as he did. But I really hate the trope of a Face rescue that’s “a little too late.” If Rated FTR was here, and they were seeing this happen, why not get out there before Hobbs’ knee gets chair guillotined? I understand them wanting to put the cliche “pressure” on the Faces for Collision, as Hobbs is the strongest part of that team and now he’s far less than 100%, but c’mon. Also, pretty sure The Death Riders will abandon The Learning Tree to have them lose to Rated FTRunners, as they’re above such a mess of a match.
My Score: 8.7/10

The Swaggy Awards return for their 10th annual installment. This year’s show is again split into two awesome parts so tune in to see who won!
The Attitude Of Aggression returns for the 10th Annual Swaggy Awards, our annual celebration of the best-of-the-best in pro wrestling for 2024. It’s hard to believe that we have been doing this for a decade, but here we are. The guys again decided to split the Swaggy Awards into two parts. Here on Part 1 of the Swaggys, we have our largest panel yet as Dave was joined by Swaggy veterans, PC Tunney, AJ Balaz, and Kinny Killa for this celebration of the past year in pro wrestling. But we also welcome to the Swaggys DJ & Rob from The Mindless Wrestling Podcast, as well as welcoming back to the show the one and only Rey Ca$h. Here on Part 1, the gang passed out some virtual hardware in categories such as Breakout Star of the Year, Rivalry of the Year, Storyline of the Year, PPV/PLE of the Year, and much, much more. And, of course, there is our unsanctioned award (IYKYK). You never know what will happen on the Swaggys. Who walked away with the gold and the glory here on Part 1? Tune in and find out.
