“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

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!
Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles. Not only that, but it is against the three men that won that $300,000 Rampage Holiday Bash battle royal back in 2022. Will the Death Riders continue their reign of terror? Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!
The trios sort out, and The Decoder starts against Darius Martin. The fans rally up as the bell rings. Yuta and Darius circle, tie up, and Yuta wrenches to a hammerlock. Darius reaches back to headlock, then he chinbars into a cravat. Yuta spins through to trip Darius and has a toehold. Darius endures while fans rally. Darius turns over, reels Yuta in and headlocks back. Yuta brings Darius to his knees, then waistlocks. Darius switches and SLAMS Yuta, then floats to turn Yuta over for a cover. ONE, and Darius avoids a leg sweep to headlock. Yuta powers up and out, Darius goes up and over, then Darius arm-drags Yuta!
Yuta gets up, Darius DROPKICKS him, and Omaha cheers. The fans cheer, Darius CHOPS, then he tags in Dante. Darius whips, Yuta reverses, but Darius rolls off Yuta’s back. Darius SOBATS, Dante sweeps, and Darius DOUBLE STOMPS! Dante covers, ONE, but Dante wrenches to wristlock. Yuta pulls hair to put Dante in the corner, and Claudio tags in.

Dante fires more shots but Claudio shoves him away. Dante dodges, ROCKS Claudio, but Claudio returns to CLOBBER Dante! The fans are torn but Pac applauds. Claudio fires body shots, then UPPERCUTS. Claudio pie faces Dante, whips corner to corner hard, then runs up, but into a BOOT! Claudio just comes back, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI! Dante goes up and up and RANA! Not the cleanest but Claudio still tumbles out. Claudio hurries back in, tag to Pac. Pac RAMS Dante, then slingshots up and over. Pac keeps moving, but Dante CLOBBERS him! Tag to Fox and he LARIATS Pac! And goes Matrix to then PELE!
The fans fire up for Fox and he has Pac. Fox whips, Pac reverses, but Fox stops himself. Yuta runs up but Fox TOSSES him! Pac runs up, Fox puts him on the apron and sweeps the legs. Pac is on the apron, Fox builds speed, just to slingshot STOMP Pac on the apron! Then he CANNONBALLS Yuta! But Claudio runs up to BOOT Fox down! The fans boo, Top Flight protests, but Claudio deadlifts Fox into the ring! Pac storms in and stomps Fox around. Pac drags Fox up, bumps him off buckles hard, then tags Claudio. They mug Fox, Claudio ROCKS Fox, and then drags Fox up. Fox tries to power forward but Claudio keeps him back!
Claudio powers Fox back, he tags Yuta in, and they mug Fox more. Yuta stands Fox up to reel him in, and he snap suplexes! Cover, ONE!! Fox stays in this but Yuta stays on him. Fox JAWBREAKERS free, goes Matrix again, hot tag to Darius! Darius CLOBBERS Yuta, BLASTS Pac, then BOOTS Yuta! Darius keeps moving, HOTSHOT BULLDOG DROPKICK COMBO!

The fans boo but Yuta hits a PAIN THRILLER! Cover, TWO!
Yuta is annoyed but he keeps Darius down with a wristlock, and mockingly claps hands, while Collision goes picture in picture.

The fans boo, more refs rush out here, but The Cru has already choked out Darius & Dante! Will this be the end of this animosity? Or have Lio & Action only put themselves back on Top Flight’s radar?
BREAKING NEWS for April!
Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram.

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall
A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?
My Thoughts:
A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.
Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.
And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.
My Score: 8.8/10

Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?

Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match.

Konosuke taunts Rocky, the fans rally up, and Konosuke slaps Rocky around. Rocky rises to fire a forearm! Konosuke just shakes his head. Rocky fires another forearm, and another, but Konosuke SMACKS Rocky! Rocky roars and fires a flurry! The fans fire up but Konosuke fires boxing elbows! Then a ROLLING- UPPERCUT from Rocky! The fans fire up as both men wobble! Rocky dodges a lariat, goes up the ropes, FLYING TORNADO DDT! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Rocky and Konosuke crawl as Callis admits, that was a great sequence. Hot tag to Briscoe! The fans fire up as Briscoe rallies with forearms and CHOPS!
Cage ducks a shot to waistlock, but Briscoe BOOTS Konosuke down! Briscoe then breaks free to PELE Cage! The fans fire up with Briscoe, but Konosuke kicks low. Konosuke whips, Briscoe flips through the backdrop! The fans fire up again, and Briscoe wrenches to kick and FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, Cage breaks it! Archer BLASTS Hobbs & Rocky! The fans boo but Cage ripcords and ROCKS Briscoe! Archer ROCKS Briscoe, Cage JUMP KNEES, and Archer HEADBUTTS! Konosuke ALPHA ELBOWS and down goes Briscoe! Cover, TWO! Briscoe survives but Konosuke tags Archer. Archer & Cage storm in, they get Briscoe up.
Archer BLASTS Hobbs off the apron again while Cage lifts Briscoe. Briscoe fights free and UPPERCUTS! CHOP for Archer! Cage runs up, Briscoe ducks, the LARIAT hits Archer! Hot tag to Hobbs! The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage dodges, but runs into a POWERSLAM! Archer runs up to RAM Hobbs! Hobbs rebounds to LARIAT Archer! The fans fire up and Hobbs LARIATS in a corner! Then LARIAT for Cage! Then back for Archer! Back to Cage! The straps come down and Omaha is really hot! But Konosuke winds up! Hobbs dodges the elbow to SPINEBUSTER! But Cage runs up, DOUBLE LARIATS hit!
The DOUBLE LARIATS continue to collide but neither man falls! “MEAT!” echoes out with every shot! Cage BOOTS the lariat away, mule kicks then KICKS! But Hobbs swings! Cage gest around to GERMAN SUPLEX! Rocky tags in and goes up, CROSSBODY, but Cage catches him! Cage pops Rocky up, Rocky slips free and ENZIGIRIS! Cage staggers, into a SPINEBUSTER! Konosuke DECKS Rocky! And he KICKS Hobbs to then ROCK Hobbs! And then BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Briscoe and Konosuke fire forearms back and forth, then Briscoe fires a flurry! Briscoe runs, into a BOOT! Konosuke runs, into an EXPLODER!
Archer runs in, Briscoe dodges the boot, but Archer breaks the clothesline to CLOBBER Briscoe! Rocky runs in, tilt-o-whirls, but into the BLACK- NO!! Rocky slips free to have the SLEEPER! Archer THROWS Rocky down! And then runs in, only for Rocky to dodge! Rocky dropkicks the legs out, then kicks. Archer blocks, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Roll up, TWO! Archer is up, Rocky dodges to springboard, but into a HAYMAKER! Archer hauls Rocky up, Cage is there, MURDER BOMB!! DISCUS LARIAT for Briscoe! Tag to Konosuke, he hauls Rocky up, RAGING FIRE!! Cover, Don Callis Family wins!
Winners: The Don Callis family, by pinfall
Omaha was served up some meat and chicken with sugar on top, but the Don Callis Family ate it all! Will this win help Konosuke head back for a title opportunity in time for Dynasty? Will Hobbs at least be allowed to move on from the Don Callis Family?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here for just the first half of the Slam Dunk Weekend, as recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. I kinda like Collision being just one hour, but obviously they’ll go back to two hours on one night next week. Opening with the TNT Championship was quite the surprise, but that did help it go the full 20 minutes, which was a particularly clever move here. Garcia keeps the title but Cole was very close, so maybe we get a third match where they extend or completely do away with the time limit to get a definitive winner. And at that point, I would think Adam Cole wins to finally have a singles title in AEW.
Good stuff in Caster again losing his own Open Challenge. Good win for Hook as it’s been a minute since he’s had a singles match. With Caster harping on Bowens being absent, this really needs to culminate with Bowens answering the challenge, winning that first time, but then Caster wanting a rematch. Then that match will be awesome stuff, but still ultimately won by Bowens to get it in Caster’s head that he can’t just say he’s the Best Wrestler Alive and put it on a piece of paper. Then we can see Caster take his character in another direction, maybe do some soul searching. Or more likely, just double down and be even more insufferable.
Very good match for Hart VS Aminata 3, hard to say if it was that much better than the previous, but Hart winning makes sense with Aminata VS Deeb still needing to happen. A shame the Aminata-Deeb feud had to build in the background of the Aminata-Hart feud, but it’s not like they could do more on a week to week basis. Unless… Well, snark aside, Aminata will surely take Deeb up on at least that Pure Rules match for a first-time-ever in the Women’s Division, and I would love for a Women’s Pure Championship to be created in time for Supercard of Honor. It actually works out that Supercard had to be pushed back to avoid clashing with WrestleMania, because the pacing of the Women’s Division definitely can/will go all the way to May.
Very good promo from Harley to not just hype up Slam Dunk Sunday, but to also poke fun at how she is so obviously Harley-gram, and that there is some, uh, animal magnetism between her and Mortos. And Schiavone said that Komander & Hologram VS Mortos & Dralistico will be the main event, so you can bet there will be shenanigans involving Mortos and Harley/Harley-gram.
My Score: 8.8/10
