The Pinnacle returns to Daily’s Place!
MJF, Tully Blanchard, FTR, Shawn Spears and Wardlow are back after recovering from their Stadium Stampede 2 defeat! What will they say and do to respond to The Inner Circle’s declaration of war?
Matt Hardy and The Hybrid2 are already in the ring!
Big Money Matt has the mic to say, “Christian Cage, you’ve been jealous of Matt Hardy for years, because I’ve made so much more money than you in this industry!” Now, his “associate,” Angelico, will use Hardy’s wisdom and experience to END Christian’s career! And Hardy promises Christian that he will never financially recover! But Captain Charisma makes his entrance now, not afraid of those threats. Will he #OutWorkEveryone and win that money Hardy wants for himself?

Big Money Matt has Angelico stomp Christian more, then gets him up in the double underhooks. But JUNGLE BOY rushes out!

AEW Dynamite is going big for July!
The first four weeks in a row of AEW back on the road, and each week is something epic! First, the inaugural #RoadRager event on July 7th in Miami, Florida! Then July 14th and 21st, the TWO PART Fyter Fest 2021! Night One in Cedar Park, Texas and Night Two in Garland, Texas!

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Next week is going to be a huge debut! A tag team match where it is Aaron Solow & QT Marshall VS Cody Rhodes and his partner will be the newest signee to AEW, BROCK ANDERSON! Arn Anderson’s son is joining the Nightmare Family! And with that, here comes Cody Rhodes! He, Arn and Brock are all here, and Schiavone is happy to see they’re all smiles after last week. It’s big for Brock to make his Dynamite debut next week and Cody thanks Schiavone for that. Cody is confident that Brock wasn’t just born on third base, he will steal home, maybe even hit a homerun each and every night.
“It is an ungodly standard some of these dads have set for us,” but Cody won’t lie to us. If anyone can do it, it’s Brock Anderson! Fans cheer on Brock and Cody continues to say, “I also wouldn’t mind a modicum of revenge myself,” since Anthony Ogogo beat him. But here comes QT to argue the point. Beat by Ogogo? No, QT pinned Cody by himself! Just like he’s out here by himself. And enough with these vanity projects, all this second generation nepotism. Does Brock want pyro? Why not come in from the ceiling? QT is getting sick of this, so here’s the deal! Fans boo loudly but QT talks over them. Cody has been neglecting Comoroto and Solow, this is how this started.
But we know what makes Cody Rhodes Cody Rhodes: the fans! Not the Internet Wrestling Community, but the actual paying customers that go to the shows. So when AEW Goes back on the road to start July, QT wants a full house so that they can all see him whoop Cody’s ass! And not just metaphorically, he means it literally in a SOUTH BEACH STRAP MATCH Oh a strap match, huh? How about right now? Cody can use his own belt! QT backs off to get his own belt ready, and then he SMACKS Arn from behind! Brock TACKLES QT on behalf of his dad! Referees rush to stop this, but fans are fired up for Brock even more!
QT runs away, but will he survive next week to even have the Strap Match with the American Nightmare?
Six Man Tag: The Young Bucks & Brandon Cutler VS Eddie Kingston, PAC & Penta El Zero M!
Matt & Nick Jackson have been doing whatever they want to whoever they want, but the Mad King isn’t going to let that continue any longer! Kingston used to be friends with Penta, but can they at least be allies in stopping the AEW World Tag Team Champions and their stooge?
The teams sort out, Don Callis joins commentary to predict the victory already, and The Bastard steps up to Matt. Fans chant “Young Bucks Suck!” as Matt steps to Pac. Pac calls out Cutler for that camera shot to the leg last week! Cutler wants no part of this, and Matt tries a sucker punch! Pac blocks it, ROCKS Matt, and then Matt pinballs between Penta and Kingston in the corner! Pac whips Matt into a corner and Matt bounces off and flounders about!

He doesn’t tag Kingston but tags in Penta! Scoop SLAM to WAZZAAAP? Cover, TWO! Penta stares down the Bucks but they stay back as he gets Cutler up. Penta KICKS Cutler in the leg and Cutler crumbles. Fans chant ‘CERO MIEDO!” for Penta, and he rips the tracksuit open to CHOP the chest! Fans love that and want “One More Time!” Penta tags in Kingston, they mug Cutler, and Kingston throws forearms on Cutler. Kingston whips, KNEES Cutler, then repeats!
Kingston snapmares and DOUBLE STOMPS Cutler! Cover, TWO! The Bucks still stay back, and Kingston gets Cutler up to suplex. Kingston holds Cutler up before the SLAM! Kingston drops an elbow then covers, TWO! The Bucks act like they care but they aren’t showing it. Pac tags in and Kingston is a bit confused. Penta keeps the peace between his mutual friends, but Pac stalks Cutler to then BOOT him down! Pac drags Cutler up, then THROWS him to the Bucks! He dares either of them to tag in, so Matt takes it. Pac gives Matt a hip toss and copies the Bucks’ handspring to basement dropkick! And he mocks the pose! Nick gets in but trips over his own feet! Pac CLOBBERS Nick!
Matt back suplexes but Pac lands on his feet to fire off kicks! Pac runs, Matt distracts the ref and Nick trips him up! Nick drags Pac out but Pac ROCKS him! Cutler runs in but Pac BACK DROPS Cutler away! Pac goes back to the ring but Matt WRECKS him with a dropkick! Nick BLASTS Kingston off the apron and Penta hurries to check on him.

The Bucks double hip thrust then hit double elbow drops! The Bucks kip up together and soak up the heat. Nick drags Pac up, whips him hard into the corner, then runs in to SHINING WIZARD! Pac flops down, Nick mockingly has him hold out a hand to his corner, then brings him away to scrape his soles on Pac’s feet! Nick does his best Macho Man posturing before he gets Pack back up. Nick bumps Pac off buckles, Matt tags in, and Matt fires off hands!
The ref counts, Matt stomps but lets off at 4, fired up over the top. Matt distracts the ref while Nick chokes Pac! Nick lets off before he gets caught, and Cutler gives him cold spray on his back. Nick thanks Cutler and then Matt goes after Pac. Kingston protests but that only helps Matt get away with more! Matt taunts Penta, the ref keeps Penta back, and the Bucks fake a tag. Nick gets Pac up to feed to Matt’s Nike! Matt tags back in, Nick BLASTS Penta, and AEW returns to single picture as the Bucks bring Pac around.

But Nick SUPERKICKS Kingston! And Matt SUPERKICKS Penta! The Elite are sore losers as they stomp their opponents out! The Good Brothers are here to join in! They get Penta up for a mugging, and the same for Kingston! But here comes FRANKIE KAZARIAN! The #EliteHunter wants vengeance for SCU and he starts with Doc Gallows! Kingston and Penta throw the rest out, Gallows ROCKS Kaz but Kaz comes back to CLOTHESLINE Gallows out! Gallows gets up but the Elite has him stand down!
Kingston points out Cutler to Kaz, and Kaz CLOBBERS him!! The Heavy Metal Rebel may be another ally in this fight! Will this help tip the scales in the battle against the corrupt Elite?
The Elite share their perspective of the Double or Nothing “conspiracy.”
Directed by Michael “Kurosawa,” aka just Michael Nakazawa, it is a highlight reel of the epic Triple Threat from Double or Nothing. Or as Don Callis put it last week and in this video, “The Dark Side of AEW, the #KhanJob to take the belt of off Kenny Omega.” This “raw footage” has subtitles that claim referee Bryce Remberg said he hates Kenny Omega and wants him to lose the belt! And it even changes “F You Don!” to “Thank You Don!” as Callis blatantly gives Omega belts. But it skips the belt shot after belt shot after belt shot after belt shot, because Omega has four belts to use, that helped Omega take out Pac. And then it edits happy fans into the celebration of Omega’s victory. Is anyone going to call The Elite out on their BS?
The Pinnacle heads to the ring!
MJF leads the way as he, Tully Blanchard, FTR, Shawn Spears and Wardlow all walk out and have mics. Dax Harwood says it goes without saying that Stadium Stampede 2 didn’t go their way. And that’s okay. That match wasn’t made for men like them. Dax calls out Santana & Ortiz specifically, saying those two gave FTR one hell of a fight. And in the middle of all that chaos, something clicked for Dax: The four of them aren’t so different. Yes, FTR are hardened Carolina boys while Proud ‘n’ Powerful are streetwise Bronx kids, but that’s where the differences end. They all came from nothing, they all overcame adversity, and they all made something of themselves.
Fans chant for “Inner Circle!” as Dax says Santana & Ortiz lost their edge but FTR never did. That is why FTR tried to end their careers and gave them piledrivers through tables. That is why FTR tried to take food from their family’s mouths. Dax has a family to provide for, and most importantly he has a bank account he has to fill up. Cash says he’s a single man with no family so he doesn’t give a SH*T about either of one of theirs! It’s been two years, and PNP still aren’t AEW World Tag Team Champions. Why is that? Because the biggest difference here is that The Pinnacle is truly a family! They work together to build their legacies! But PNP is just happy to be a footnote in someone else’s history.
Shawn Spears calls out Sammy Guevara. Sammy got the moment of a lifetime at Spears’ expense. And Jericho called Sammy, of all people, a hero? HERO?! Why?! Because he got lucky?! Because he wears fanny packs and has a vlog?! Or is it because Sammy does crazy, outlandish moves and throws caution to the wind? That doesn’t make Sammy a hero, that makes him a glorified indie darling! The Pinnacle is what professionals look like! SPEARS is the hero here! This ain’t done! Tully has Spears calm down, and Wardlow steps up to call out Jake Hager. Hager is obsessed with Wardlow, isn’t he? Wardlow is starting to think Hager needs him.
And why is that? Is that because ever interaction, every fight, every match, Wardlow brings out the absolute best in him? Then Wardlow gets it. Hager wants this to keep this going, Wardlow will play along. Hager wants to invite Wardlow to his “comfort zone,” because Hager knows he could never beat Wardlow in the ring? Hager wants Wardlow to step into Hager’s world? Well next week, YOU’RE ON! And Wardlow will show Hager that it doesn’t matter if it’s in the ring, a freezer, a football field, or an octagon, “when you’re standing across from me, you’re always in Wardlow’s world!”
And of course MJF is next. He knows The Pinnacle is angry, but if he’s being honest, he’s just tired. MJF is tired everyone is telling him there’s something to prove, when in reality, he is already the best. “And being the best so young, so fast, that’s daunting. That’s pressure.” Not that anyone in the audience can relate to that because they will never be the best at anything. So that brings MJF to Chris Jericho. MJF admits he grew up idolizing Jericho. MJF watched every match, every promo, read every book.
MJF takes us back in time. The year was 2019, the Jacksonville, FL Double or Nothing rally. After MJF was done on stage, he goes backstage and boom, there he was. His idol, Jericho powerwalked right by him. MJF’s heart was beating a million miles a minute! He knew he’d have the opportunity to work with Jericho, tag with him, wrestle against him, and that should’ve been a dream come true, “but it wasn’t.” MJF wasn’t sure why and it kept him up at night. But then it hit him. MJF was idolizing a false god! Jericho wasn’t larger than life, he was just like everyone else: “not even remotely on my level.”
MJF has beaten Jericho TWICE, and has nothing to prove to the fans and nothing to prove to Jericho! The next match request is DENIED! Then there’s Sammy. MJF could pretend to be shocked that Sammy let Jericho speak on his behalf about their own rivalry, but he wasn’t. Not just because Sammy is chicken sh*t, but also because if MJF were him, he wouldn’t want to talk, either, since Sammy has the same speaking skills as Helen Keller. Sammy does NOT belong in the ring with MJF, so Sammy should keep MJF’s name out of his mouth! Because MJF is better than you, and you know it!
But then Jericho responds by shouting out to The Pinnacle from the titantron. We really doing this again? We know how the movie ends. They know what happens when you don’t give The Inner Circle what they want. But the Pinnacle bested them with another brilliant soliloquy. Good for you, MJF. But they can walk home now, because the Inner Circle found their limousine! Get it, boys! They take SLEDGEHAMMERS to the windows! And baseball bats to the sides! And graffiti to the paint on the hood! And knives to the tires! And they smash the tail lights! The Pinnacle is furious and shout for security to stop this! This is a CRIME!
Santana finishes writing “El Barto” on the side, and Hager brings in a forklift! The forklift isn’t here to lift, but the STAB the limo in the side! Oh, and then lift it! The doors are ripped from the frame and the forklift lets it down. Jericho suggests The Pinnacle get an Uber! Sammy says he’ll fight MJF any night of the week! The Inner Circle heads out, and the ball is in The Pinnacle’s court. Will MJF and his team play Jericho’s game?
Darby Allin and Sting speak.
“Scorpio and Ethan,” Darby is not replacing Sting next week. Because he wants this to be a 2v1 HANDICAP MATCH! Darby asks Sting to stay home. Why? So he can get beat up? Darby asks Sting to stay. He isn’t stupid, but Sting got the win at Double or Nothing. Darby needs to prove to both Scorpio & Ethan that he can do something on his own. Darby has nothing to prove! He was a TNT Champion when Sting arrived and did all that on his own. Darby is who he is because of Darby, not because of Sting. They both won at DON. Darby says it’s not about that. He just asks Sting to stay home. Just this once. It’s what Darby wants. Then Sting agrees, he’ll stay away.
Sting wants a fist bump, Darby says he respects the hell out of Sting, and he gives it. The deal is struck, but who will come to regret it more?
AEW TNT Championship: Miro VS Evil Uno w/ The Dark Order!
The Best Man bested the Murderhawk Monster at Double or Nothing, but mostly because he played off the attachment Lance Archer had to Jake the Snake. Player One feels he’s being selfish, but he would gladly be selfish if it meant validating a 17 year career, honoring a 15 year friendship with the late, great Brodie Lee, and restoring the pride of the Dark Order. Will Uno be the one? Or will the Bulgarian Barbarian brutalize him with the strength he has been blessed with?
The introductions are made, the title is raised, and so much more than just the championship is on the line!
Miro and Uno circle and fans rally up. Miro and Uno tie up, Miro powers Uno to a corner, but lets off as the ref counts. Fans boo and Miro dares Uno to reset. Uno gets out of the corner, they tie up, and Miro waistlocks to SLAM Uno down! Miro floats to a facelock, pushes Uno to a cover, ONE! Miro gets the facelock and keeps Uno from ropes. Miro scoops and SLAMS Uno, and then he soaks up the heat. Uno gets up, Miro kicks low then ROCKS him with a forearm! Miro throws heavy body shots, then scoops again. Uno slips out to CHOP, but Miro doesn’t flinch!
Uno CHOPS again, Miro just snarls! Miro steps up but Uno dumps him out! Miro gets up but Uno stomps at him. Uno backs off and dares Miro to get in, but Miro trips him up this time. Miro throws more body shots, Uno staggers back, but then Uno dodges and Miro punches post! Miro clutches his knuckles as Uno gets on the apron. Miro turns around into Uno’s CANNONBALL! Direct hit and the fans fire up for Uno! Uno is surprised himself, and he gets into the ring to elbow Miro! And BOOT him! Uno hops up but Miro YANKS him off into a SAIDO! Miro glares into the camera then smiles as AEW goes picture in picture.
Miro shakes out the hand that hit steel, but he stalks Uno to ropes. Miro gets Uno up for a BIG suplex! Uno writhes, Miro paces, and then Miro chokes Uno on ropes! The ref counts, Miro lets off but he KICKS Uno in the back! Uno staggers away, Miro stalks him, and Uno CHOPS! Miro still doesn’t flinch, so Uno throws a forearm. Miro DECKS Uno, covers, TWO! Uno gets to a corner, Miro is after him, and Miro stomps Uno’s feet! Miro kicks Uno’s legs again and again, then hauls him up to whip corner to corner hard! Uno bounces off buckles and hits the mat, but Miro just looms over him. Miro grins as he sits Uno up, and has a fish hook in Uno’s eye!
Uno flails and claws and the ref counts, but Miro lets go. Only to fish hook Uno’s nose! The ref again counts, Miro mockingly counts along, and lets go at 4. Miro toys with Uno as he CLUBS him on the back! Miro sits Uno up to trap the arms in a straitjacket stretch! Uno endures, fans rally up, but Miro leans on the hold. Miro brings Uno down to the mat, and he shouts in Uno’s face. Uno keeps kicking and moving to get back up. Miro brings Uno around, Uno throws body shots and gets free. Uno throws forearms, runs, but into a DROPKICK from Miro! AEW returns to single picture as Miro soaks up the heat again.
Uno goes to the apron, Miro runs and BLASTS him off! Miro encourages the fans to boo and jeer while Uno writhes on the ground. Fans shout, “MIRO SUCKS! MIRO SUCKS!” but Miro encourages it. The Dark Order coach Uno as the ring count is climbing! Uno gets up at 5 but is floundering back to the ring. The count is 7, then 8! Uno is in at 9.9! Fans are fired up but Miro goes out to CLOBBER Stu Grayson out! Miro glares at Alan Angels and chases him to the ramp! Angels gets away but Miro throws a buckle pad at Angels! Miro then goes back to Uno, but Uno hits a JAWBREAKER! Uno throws forearms and fans rally behind him!
Uno ROCKS Miro, bobs ‘n’ weaves and fires off more forearms! Miro shoves, Uno ducks and dodges to RANA Miro! Miro staggers to a corner, Uno goes corner to corner to clothesline! Uno goes side to side for a forearm smash! Uno goes again, but has to dodge Miro again! Uno BOOTS Miro down and fans are thunderous! Uno hurries to a corner, climbs up top, and Stu is back up to rally with the fans! UNO SWANTON! Cover, ONE?!? Miro is breathing heavy but the rest of the Dark Order is here to reinforce Uno! Even Negative One, aka Brodie Lee Jr! Uno is invigorated, and he gets Miro up. Miro blocks the bomb so Uno stomps the hands!
Uno fires a forearm, then runs, but leaps into Miro’s arms! Miro swings, Uno slips out! Uno waistlocks, Miro switches and O’Conner Rolls, TWO! Miro runs into the buckle he bared! Uno gets Miro to another cover, TWO!?!? Miro survives and the Dark Order can’t believe it! Uno fires up with the Dark Order coaching him on! Miro stands, Uno gives shout out to Brodie, “This is Awesome!” As Uno DISCUS! But Miro stays up!? Miro CLOBBERS Uno!! Miro wags his finger at the Dark Order, STOMPS Uno, and GAME OVEER!!! Uno is bent way back, Uno taps! Miro wins!
Winner: Miro, by submission (still AEW TNT Champion)
But Miro won’t let go until he is satisfied! Miro holds up the title in front of the entire Dark Order, rubbing salt in the wound. Uno could not do it, but could there be another that takes this title back? Or will The Best Man stay the best TNT Champion yet?
AEW takes a closer look at El Idolo.
Andrade has the bloodline, the swagger, the style, and the skills afforded to him by being a third generation wrestler. The Face of Latinos will be back next Friday to have an interview with Jim Ross!
Schiavone is back in the ring!
He mentions that in a couple of weeks, we will see Kenny Omega defend the AEW World Championship against Jungle Boy, but he and Don Callis are here again to talk about that and more! Schiavone says, “With all due respect to you, champion, the video that we saw that you guys put together, to tie Jungle Boy into this conspiracy theory that you have, a young man who had to go through 20 other men to get the world title shot, is just-” Callis says Schiavone needs to stop insulting the world champion! If they want to say that JB overcame 20 men, then what about Kenny and Callis overcoming a conspiracy from the company itself?!
This conspiracy reaches the highest level, the #KhanJob, to take this title off Omega! What Callis sees is good job, JB, for winning. Great job earning a shot. But to him and Kenny, JB is just like that band that sings his entrance song: A ONE HIT WONDER! Omega says, “Don’t get me wrong,” he knows his obligations as champion and what he has to do. He’s supposed to sell this match like JB is so incredible as #1 contender to the most protected and prestigious prize in ALL of professional wrestling! But guess what?! Guess what!? Omega can’t bring himself to say something bad about JB. When he sees those long, flowing, golden locks and his underwear model style body of his, Omega sees… A little bit of young Omega.
In fact, Omega quite respects JB. One day, JB might be a champion just like Omega. But there’s something that’s missing and he can’t put his finger on it. “Mr. Callis, you’re better at these things than I am,” so what is it JB is missing? Callis agrees, JB has just about everything. EXCEPT this one thing! What JB doesn’t have is THE GUTS- Well wait a minute! Here comes Jungle Boy right now! He goes right to the ring as fans sing his theme song! Omega seems shocked and Callis seems upset, but Omega chuckles. “Mr. Callis, if you will.” Callis takes the belt while Omega says he’s just as surprised as anyone. He’s never known JB to be a “promo guy” who really talks.
Does JB have any confidence to step in front of a champion? Does he have something to say? In fact, Omega knows he has NOTHING to say because JB doesn’t have the guts, just as Callis said! And standing in front of a wrestling god, what could he do? Is JB going to throw down with Omega before their match? Is this going to be a battle of wits? Is this going to be the greatest promo in the history of pro-wrestling live on national television? Omega thinks not! Mr. Callis, who the heck is better on the mic than Omega? NOBODY! Gosh dang right! So if JB has something to say, Omega will give him five seconds. Get it out quick, Omega is getting a little pissed off.
JB gets the mic, and says, “Man, you talk way too much.” Omega laughs that off, but then swing son JB! JB dodges and fifes off forearms! Callis bails out, JB has Omega on the ropes but Omega rakes eyes! Omega throws off sunglasses and jacket to throw hands on JB! Omega talks trash, tells JB will regret that, and then whips. JB ducks and gets around to trip Omega up! SNARE TRAP! But the Bucks run in and JB bails out! JB has guts but he won’t let The Elite get him! Will Saturday Night Dynamite be the night Omega loses the title?
Jade Cargill and Mark Sterling speak.
Smart Mark says they are thrilled that the “monetization plan” is on track and in full effect. Jade’s revenues are already up 43% across the board! And with the Law Offices of Mark Sterling on the case, they’ve stripped away all the freeloaders, hanger-ons, and bamboozlers. Jade has a family to feed, after all, and they will be fed for years to come. But that family also has expensive tastes. Jade is already a star in the wrestling business in under a year, so they’ll make sure she’s a household name.
First thing is Jade’s catchphrase. These women can’t keep it out of their mouth. Mark agrees, “That B Word” is catchy, and residuals when anyone else uses it, let’s tell everyone why Jade’s a star. “Cuz I’m… That… BITCH.” Jade is rolling in the green, but when will she get her hands on the gold?
AEW hears from Ethan Page & Scorpio Sky.
“Darby, we gave you an opportunity. All you had to do was go out and get yourself a partner that wasn’t going to do all the work for you. And just like the sensitive little child you are, you couldn’t even do that right!” Now Darby wants to take them on alone? Scorpio’s seen Darby do a lot of dumb things, from jumping off buildings to setting himself on fire. But Scorpio will be damned if this isn’t the dumbest. Ethan says actions have consequences. Darby already knows the consequences of stepping into the ring with them. But does he understand the mental consequences? They cost him his TNT Championship. What’s gonna happen when they pin him in the middle of the ring?
Darby’s already “butthurt” after the trash they talked, and he is dumb enough to sign up for a Handicap Match against the #MenOfTheYear! Bit by bit, they will chop Darby down, step on his body, and raise themselves to the next level! It is only up from here for the Men of the Year. Oh, good catchphrase. Thanks, Ethan likes it, too. But will All Ego & The Face of the Revolution like it even better after they’ve left Darby battered and bruised?
Lance Archer w/ Jake the Snake Roberts VS Chandler Hopkins!
The Murderhawk Monster is hardly ever in a good mood, but he’s in an even worse one after losing at Double or Nothing, and seeing Miro win again tonight! Chandler Hopkins rushes him at the ropes, only to get TOSSED back into the ring! Archer clamps on a choke grip, for a CHOKE- NO! Hopkins knees free, runs and springboards, but Archer CLOBBERS him out of the air! Jake the Snake applauds, Archer drags Hopkins up for the CHOKE SLAM! Archer is seething, and he grabs Hopkins. Jake starts filming this on his phone as Archer puts Hopkins up top and ROCKS him with a right hand! Inverted crucifix, BLACKOUT BOMB!! Cover, Archer wins!
Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall
And just like that, Archer storms back to the tunnel. Archer isn’t going to enjoy his victories until he has the title that has eluded him! Will it only take a few days for him to again go after Miro and the TNT Championship?
The Wingmen speak.
The Hollywood Hunk, Ryan Nemeth, starts by telling Orange Cassidy, “You are the worst dressed wrestler in all of AEW. You look like a little kid!” JD Drake, Cezar Bononi and “Pretty” Peter Avalon agree. Nemeth says they’re offering Cassidy a spot in the Wingman Makeover Program. Avalon says there are two options: Either let the Wingmen rearrange your wardrobe, or Cezar Bononi rearranges your face! And he’ll do it, too. Will Freshly Squeezed let “Beautiful” Bononi beat him to a pulp? Or will he show them that casual is in?
Nyla Rose w/ Vickie Guerrero VS Leyla Hirsch!
The Native Beast may be a Vicious Vixen, but her opponent is #LEGIT! Vickie mockingly brings out a stepstool because Leyla is legit the shortest competitor in AEW. Leyla picks up the stepstool to TOSS it at Vickie! Will Leyla show us that everyone’s the same size when they’re on the mat?
But as soon as Leyla gets in the ring, Nyla CLOBBERS her! The bell rings, Nyla stomps Leyla and gets her up to scoop and SLAM! Fans boo but Nyla smiles as she stands Leyla up for another scoop. Leyla fights and drags Nyla down! Leyla wants the armbar but Nyla gets the ropebreak! The ref counts, Leyla lets off but comes running in to fire off forearms! Fans fire up as Leyla keeps Nyla on the ropes! The ref backs Leyla off but she SHOTGUNS Nyla out of the ring! Leyla builds speed for LEGIT TOPE into Nyla’s arms! Nyla RAMS Leyla into the apron, the knees her down! And then RAMS her into the apron again!
Nyla brings Leyla up, bumps her off the apron, then soaks up the heat. Leyla gets up, Nyla forearms her against the post! But then Leyla blocks a shot to SLAM the arm into the post! Leyla steps over to drag Nyla down for a modified armbar! But Nyla powers up to SWING Leyla into barriers! Leyla is a heap on the floor while Nyla refreshes the ring count. Nyla soaks up more heat, and she drags Leyla up to put her in the ring. Nyla stalks Leyla, stands on her head, and whips her to ropes to CLOBBER her with a full body block! Nyla runs to drop a knee! Cover, TWO! Leyla is tough but Nyla clamps onto Leyla with a claw!
AEW is picture in picture as Nyla drives elbows down into Leyla’s shoulders. Nyla drags Leyla up to choke her on the ropes! The ref counts, Nyla lets off at 4 and Vickie SLAPS Leyla behind the ref’s back! Vickie shouts at Leyla, Leyla swipes at Vickie! Nyla stomps Leyla down, but Leyla throws body shots. Nyla knees low, CLUBS Leyla down, then steps over for a mounted armbar. Nyla BITES Leyla’s fingers! The ref reprimands, Nyla stops, but then Nyla bites fingers again! Leyla gets the ropebreak and Nyla lets off. The ref watches Vickie closely but she backs off. Nyla gets Leyla up, but Leyla fights the choke grip to then fire off kicks!
Nyla blocks a kick to CLUB Leyla then TOSS her! Leyla flounders to the ropes as AEW goes to break.
AEW returns and Leyla hits a METEORA in the corner, then a SWINGING DROPKICK! Cover, TWO!! Nyla survives but fans are thunderous for Leyla! Leyla gets Nyla up in a waistlock but Nyla runs to throw Leyla off to the apron! Nyla gets Leyla up but Leyla shoulders in! Leyla goes up and slingshots to GERMAN SUPLEX!! Fans are going nuts as Leyla hits a RUNNING KNEE! Leyla fires up and aims again, springboard and LIONSAULT!! Cover, TWO!!! Nyla gets out, and even grabs ropes for good measure! Vickie is furious, Leyla stomps Nyla’s arm then shakes out her own bad arm. Leyla drags Nyla down but Nyla fights off the armbar! Nyla stacks, dead lifts, and CHOKE SLAMS!
Fans boo but Nyla looms over Leyla. Nyla drags Leyla up, reels her in and suplexes, but Nyla’s back makes that hard. Nyla gets Leyla on the ropes all the same, and goes to the corner! Nyla climbs, Leyla hops down and fires off hands on Nyla! Nyla hits back as Leyla climbs, and they brawl up top! Vickie freaks out but Nyla HEADBUTTS Leyla down! But Leyla gets right back up and fires off on Nyla! Leyla climbs to SUPER STEIN- NO! Nyla blocks, brings Leyla up, SUPER BEAST BOMB!! Cover, Nyla wins!!
Winner: Nyla Rose, by pinfall
Leyla is still legit, but Nyla is still a beast! Vickie puts one of Britt Baker’s shirts over Leyla to send a message to the AEW Women’s World Champion. Will this victory mean Nyla gets to sink her teeth into The Doctor soon enough? Speaking of…
Schiavone interviews Britt Baker and Rebel backstage.
A win for Nyla Rose after how she disrupted the celebration of The Doctor, our AEW Women’s World Champion. Britt says Schiavone’s right for once, and she was FURIOUS that Nyla ruined the fun. But then as your Role Model, Britt took a deep breath and said Nyla looked good flipping those burgers. Maybe Nyla should stick to that full-time, with some dignity. Nyla sure didn’t show Leyla any. How rude to poke fun at her height disadvantage. Bless her heart. Britt has crocodile tears as she says she’d never do that, but then brings the conversation back to herself.
Britt’s been a champion for how long and she already is the superior women’s champion in AEW history! The endorsements are flying in left and right! What did Nyla have? Nothing! But Britt will simply add Nyla to the list of “jealous bitches in the back.” Burn! And Britt knows why Nyla is coming for this: Nyla needs this. This title makes Nyla. But with Britt, she makes the title. Just like she made this division and just like she’s making a whole new era! Yours Truly, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. But will Britt be eating those words along with her teeth when the Native Beast comes after her?
AEW Dynamite has another BIG Friday next week!
After how things went down earlier tonight, The Elite and the Elite hunters are mixing it up! Matt Jackson will be the solo Buck teaming with the Good Brothers to take on Eddie Kingston, Penta El Zero M and Frankie Kazarian! Will the Heavy Metal Rebel prove himself an asset against Don Callis’ cavalcade of creeps? And it seems Orange Cassidy has already chosen to do things the hard way! He and Bononi will throw down, with the Best Friends and The Wingmen all present at ringside! All that on top of Darby Allin’s 2v1 Handicap match, the MMA Rules Cage Fight between Hager and Wardlow, and the AEW in-ring debut of Brock Anderson as he battles alongside Cody Rhodes against The Factory’s QT & Solow!
Hangman Page & Preston Vance w/ The Dark Order VS Brian Cage & Will Hobbs w/ Team Taz!
The Anxious Millennial Cowboy and The Machine are one apiece, but before settling things on their own, Taz himself dared Hangman to take on his behemoths! Number 10 stepped up, but will he be enough to help Page stop the Pate of Rage?

My Thoughts:
Another great episode and it seems the Friday night streak is far from over. I don’t know why I didn’t see Darby going it alone, but I suppose it’s easier than bringing in a new name to the story. And it just seems to fit his reckless style. I feel like Darby will come really close to winning, only to lose because it is still a 2v1 and Darby can’t bury “The Men of the Year” like that. Andrade getting an interview as his next segment might work to overcome the bad image of his debut where fans were too busy booing Vickie to really acknowledge him. At the same time, his first match will do even better for him, so hopefully they give him someone he can have a great showing against, not just him squashing a jobber.
I like that Best Friends are getting a faction feud with The Wingmen, starting with Orange Cassidy and Cezar Bononi. That should be a really good match, and then we can have tag and trios matches where Cassidy, Trent & Chuck take on Bononi, Drake and Nemeth. We got a good segment with Cody, Arn, Brock and QT, and their match next week will be good, too, but I still can’t get over the odd pacing. Cody VS QT in a Strap Match should’ve been the Double or Nothing blow off, but I suppose they wanted something for their return to the road. For all of Cody being the part of AEW that outright says they don’t want to be WWE, his stuff tends to be a bit closer to WWE than he’d likely admit.
The Pinnacle have a good round of promos but something about it feels like they recycled their promos from before Double or Nothing. The Inner Circle wrecking the Pinnacle limousine was great stuff, classic wrestling trope in action there. Hager VS Wardlow in the MMA cage is going to be pretty good stuff, and obviously we have all the individual feuds set up. I have a feeling things will end up tied, 2-2 (FTR VS PNP is a tag match after all), and then we’ll get a third faction 5v5, maybe at All Out to finally settle things. It could even be a 5v5 Elimination Tag so it has to come down to the last men, and we’d get a sole survivor for the fans to pop for. Probably Sammy or Jericho in that situation.
Christian VS Angelico was a good opener, but it was mostly the story of Hardy wanting to take Christian out that sold it. Christian of course finds a way to win but Hardy won’t let him enjoy it, cuing Jungle Boy to save Christian. Jurassic Express makes for a great opponent to the Hardy Family Office, or perhaps in this case a Hardy & TH2 trio. Not to be mean to JB, but it still doesn’t feel like he’s going to win, even if he’s facing Omega on a special Saturday Dynamite. The totally biased video from The Elite was hilarious, and the promo turned brawl with Omega and JB was great. We all love JB, and Omega is right that JB will be champion some day, but that day is not June 26th, 2021.
The trios match of Elite and Elite Hunters, as Excalibur put it, was great stuff, and of course the Elite Heels it up. Kaz showing up was great, I knew he’d be joining in at some point. The next trios match is going to be great, but I feel like they could’ve even upped this to an 8 Man Tag. Maybe they’ll save that for the big, month long streak they’re planning in July. Another two-night Fyter Fest and the return of the Fight for the Fallen is great, and I like that they’re making the very first night special, too. I’m sure their return to Wednesdays will be treated as a big deal, too, after all this schedule preempting because of the NBA.
Miro had a great TNT Championship match, and certainly Uno’s best match in AEW. But Miro winning makes sense. He could easily go on a streak of facing the Dark Order and give us more great matches like this. Archer annihilates his opponent, I’m surprised they had time to mention the other guy’s name. I feel like Miro and Archer really could have another match and make it even better than DON. Nyla VS Leyla was great stuff, but given Nyla is first up against Britt, of course she wins. Britt also had a good promo to further that, and I bet they’ll have it out during July’s marathon of awesome Dynamites. Maybe one of the Fyter Fests since that’ll be AEW’s return to, well, anywhere that isn’t Florida.
Hangman & Vance VS Cage & Hobbs was awesome stuff, made for a great main event, and the implosion of Team Taz is almost complete! Starks pushes the Heel tactics of blatantly cheating but Cage refuses, and unless Starks is cleared to compete by July, I think Taz will make Hobbs the proxy to face Cage. It’d be lame if Taz strips Cage of the FTW Championship, but Taz is the one who gave him the title, so it’d be in his power to do it. Hangman should still be fighting for it against Cage in their tiebreaker, but maybe Hangman shifts over to the TNT or world title, since I’ve been feeling that’s his end goal by All Out. Vance himself should be on Miro’s list, and could come the closest to taking that title since Miro took it from Darby.
My Score: 9.3/10

Renee Paquette found Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida returning backstage, and she tells them that they had an unfortunate loss in the tag match with Divine Dominion. Renee knows Kris missed out on making history with becoming the Triple Crown Champion, but then Shida says they almost had those tag belts! Shida doesn’t blame Kris, it wasn’t her fault. Kris gets mad and shoves Shida to the wall! Kris says of course it wasn’t her fault! It was Shida, because Shida didn’t listen, kicked Kris in the stomach for that suplex, and then kept tagging in! Shida apologizes but Kris says that’s enough out of her!
Kris was THIS close to making history, and Shida ruined everything! Shida apologizes again, and says they’ve been friends for almost seven YEARS! Shida promises to make this up to Kris. Kris storms off, but what can Shida do to keep that promise?
Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS MXM TV!
Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong are still the AEW World Trios Champions after facing yet another Don Callis Family formation, but now they’re preparing for Dynamite Double Jeopardy on Wednesday. Will facing Mansoor, Mason Madden & Johnny TV be more than enough to prepare Cassidy for Dax Harwood? Or will MXM TV finally have their own chance at the AEW World Trios titles?
The trios sort out and Kyle steps up against Mansoor. The bell rings, they circle, and Mansoor shows off his drop steps. He might also be mocking Kyle as he drops down and puts up a leg guard.

Cassidy, Kyle & Roddy proved they’re more than #TVReady, they’re fight ready! But will Cassidy earn himself and the team a shot at the tag titles? Or will Dax earn FTR & Ciampa a shot at the trios titles? Wait, speaking of, Tommaso Ciampa is here! The Psycho Killer stares The Conglomeration down, then grins. He says it is just a matter of time, but will he and FTR really become the Top Guys in both tag and trios divisions?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?
Ace Austin & Juice Robinson VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia!
The Bang Bang Gang has been struggling to stay afloat, and now they go up against The Death Riders’ Decoder & Dragon Slayer! Will Yuta & Garcia keep the momentum going from what Moxley and the others did earlier tonight? Or can these Collision Cowboys ride off into the Peoria sunset with a win?

Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?

Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him! Hook argues with the ref as a further distraction so Shibata can stand Knight up. Hook KNEES Knight, then whips him hard into railing! Hook CLUBS Knight, soaks up heat, then goes to the ring.

Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS MJF!
The Jet called out The Scumbag for sneaking away with a win when they battled for the AEW World Championship, and wants to prove that this title is for truly the best wrestlers! But will Knight be #2Fly2Stop? Or will Maxwell Jacob Friedman look to put more gold on his resumé?
The introductions are made, and MJF makes sure Justin Roberts says, “He doesn’t hail from a white trash state like Virginia…” The belt is raised, and we see who is truly the Face of TNT!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two step up, but MJF kicks low! MJF TOSSES Knight out, then hurries to THROW Knight into the steel steps! Then he whips Knight hard into the railing! Knight writhes, the fans boo, but MJF soaks up heat. MJF talks trash as he reels Knight in, lift shim up, and BARRIER BOMBS him! The fans boo but MJF takes the camera to film while he scuffs Knight. “He’s a nobody!” MJF puts Knight in the ring, tells fans to shut up, and he pushes Knight to a cover, ONE!! Knight toughs it out but MJF clamps on tight. The fans rally as Knight endures and fights around. Knight rises, fires body shots, then runs.
Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges to springboard and CROSSBODY! Knight keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges more, but MJF ELBOWS Knight down! The fans boo but MJF drags Knight up again for a back suplex. Knight lands out, back suplexes, but MJF lands out! Another back suplex, but into the CUTTER! Cover, TWO! MJF argues with the ref but the count was fair. MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs as he storms over to Knight at the apron. The fans taunt him about his hair but MJF just frowns. MJF drags Knight up, but Knight HOTSHOTS MJF away! Knight hurries in, slides under, then hurdles over to SATELLITE DDT! Both men are down but the fans fire up!
The fans rally again as both men rise up. MJF stands first, storms up, but Knight counter punches! Knight fires haymakers, fires body shots, then has MJF on the ropes! The fans fire up as Knight fires off, but the ref backs Knight off! Knight storms back up, whips, but MJF reverses. Knight goes up and over, hurdles again, then DROPKICKS! The fans fire up as both men are back down! But then Knight kips up! Knight is feeling it, and he runs up to UFO SPLASH! Cover, TOW! MJF survives but Knight stays cool. Knight drags MJF around, then climbs the corner. The fans cheer as Knight aims, but MJF hurries out of the ring!
The fans boo but Knight hops down to PLANCHA! Down goes MJF and the fans fire up again! Knight puts MJF back in, but MJF hurries back out! The fans boo again, but Knight builds speed! Knight DIVES and down goes MJF yet again! The fans cheer as Knight gets MJF in the ring, but then MJF bails out another side. The fans boo but Knight shrugs and builds speed again. Knight FLIES and that’s three for three! The fans cheer as Knight stands tall on the desk! Knight then brings MJF back into the ring, but MJF says let’s make it four. MJF goes to the ramp side, but Knight says might as well complete the set!
Knight aims, springboards, and FLYING LARIATS MJF down at the ramp! All four sides belong to Knight and the fans are thunderous! Knight drags MJF up, puts him in the ring a fifth time, and now MJF is stuck in the drop zone. Knight is up top, but then MJF just goes to the far side. Knight runs up, MJF DUMPS Knight out, and then the HEAT- NO, Knight powers out! Knight springboards, MJF gets under, but Knight comes back and sunset flips! MJF flails to stay standing, but Knight brings him down to a cover! TWO and MJF sits on Knight, TWO as Knight sunset flips again! TWO and both men stand! SATELLITE denied into a CUTTER! Cover, TWO!
The fans cheer as both men are down again. Knight crawls away to a corner, MJF runs up, but Knight goes up and over. MJF ELBOWS Knight, goes up top, and calls his shot. But Knight BODY SHOTS first! Knight goes up to get MJF, but MJF resists. Knight CLUBS away on MJF, but MJF SHOVES Knight! Knight backflips, but he hobbles from the landing. MJF wobbles, Knight still goes to the UPPER ROOM! MJF is down but Knight clutches his knee. Knight fights through the pain to go to the apron. The fans rally behind Knight as he climbs again, MOTHERSHIP FLOP as MJF moves! MJF hobbles over to Knight, he grabs the leg!
MJF steps through, but Knight BOOTS him away! MJF hits buckles, Knight runs up, but Knight’s leg buckles! MJF SUPERKICKS Knight, then goes up for the LONG ISLAND SUNSRISE! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives the Sunrise and MJF is beside himself! The fans rally up again while both men are down, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Knight and MJF stir, Knight still clutching the bad leg. The ref checks him but Knight says he can still go. Knight goes to the ropes, hobbles around, but MJF runs up to KICK the leg out! Knight flounders but MJF stalks him. MJF KICKS the leg out again! Knight flounders against the ropes before falling down. MJF drags Knight to center, talks trash about the leg, then turns Knight over for the HALF CRAB! Dynamite returns to single picture as the fans rally and Knight endures! Knight powers up, crawls his way forward, but MJF drags him back to center! MJF sits deep, even CLUBS the leg, but Knight manages to turn over and BOOT MJF away!
The fans cheer as Knight hobbles up, but he still can’t run! MJF grins, then goes up the corner again, for the LONG- SUPERKICK! Knight suckers MJF in and hurries up the corner himself! The fans fire up for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! But Knight can’t make the pin from how he landed so hard! Knight crawls his way back to cover, TWO!! MJF survives thanks to that delay, but the fans know, “This is Awesome!” Knight pounds the mat in frustration, then clutches his leg as he crawls over to the ropes. MJF is on the apron, Knight hobbles and runs up, but MJF blocks the kick! DRAGON SCREW in the ropes! MJF is foaming at the mouth!
MJF DDTS the foot again and again and again! MJF blows snot AND spits on Knight! The fans boo but MJF just snarls as he looms over Knight. MJF Alabama Lifts, and he ALABAMA SLAMS Knight down! Kneeling cover, TWO!! MJF covers again, TWO! Another cover, ONE!!! The fans fire up as Knight refuses to stay down! MJF is furious but the fans cheer Knight on! MJF storms outside, grabs the belt, then snarls as he goes back to the ring. The fans boo but the ref reprimands MJF. Th eref takes the belt, but duh! Dynamite Diamond Ring! But Knight LOW BLOWS MJF first!! Knight cradles, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
MJF is absolutely shocked! He got outsmarted! He got beat at his own dirty game! But then MJF CHOP BLOCKS Knight! The sore loser then scares the ref off before he winds up with that diamond ring. But wait! DARBY ALLIN literally drops in from the ceiling! Darby unhooks himself from the harness, then storms into the ring to dragon sleeper MJF! SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby makes sure justice is served, and the fans cheer him on as he gets a mic. MJF also gets a mic, and MJF says, “You people suck! Darby, real typical. Two peas in a pod! Two low life cheaters getting along, huh?!”
But joke’s on you! MJF doesn’t care about Knight, this match doesn’t count, he was barely trying! The fans laugh given how MJF’s red, sweaty and gasping for air. But MJF says what he cares about is HIS Triple B, HIS AEW World Championship! The fans boo but MJF says shut up! MJF wants his rematch! Darby paces, but the fans already chant “NO! NO! NO!” Darby also says, “NO! I’m not giving you that rematch until you put something on the line! And if I survive tonight with Brody King, I think I know exactly who deserves a shot next week.” MJF says MJF, but Darby looks to The Jet. The fans cheer but MJF says don’t even think about it!
But Darby indeed says, it will be Kevin Knight! The fans cheer, but then BRODY KING shows up! The King of Death stares The Devil down, then moves past him to join Darby and Knight in the ring. Brody and Darby stare down, then Brody says, “I have some bad news for you, Darby, cuz you’re not gonna survive tonight! And Jet, I got even worse news for you. Next week, you’re not gonna be facing Darby Allin. You’re gonna be facing the NEW AEW World Champion! ROOF!” The fans cheer that, and Brody returns backstage. The main event is gonna be wild, but who carries the title into next Wednesday?
Backstage interview with Adam Copeland & Christian Cage.
Renee Paquette is with The Rated R Superstar and Captain Charisma, and notes that Cage has a fractured arm, how is he feeling? Cage says his arm feels fine, don’t worry about the arm. Then they also have to address FTR upping the ante on their New York Street Fight by making it part I Quit match. Do they accept? Cage says, “We accept!” Cope says that’s a bit quick given Cage’s history with I Quit matches in AEW. Just saying… Cage says if he’s told you once, he’s told you a thousand times, he never said those words! He didn’t! Cage storms off, Cope says he totally did. But neither of them will say it again. Will C&C be more than ready to make the Top Guys give up?
The Brawling Birds VS Emily Jaye & Jordan Blade!
Jamie Hayter may have missed a week, but she’s back to 100% and ready to pick up where she left off. But will she and Alex Windsor be able to bounce back from losing to Thekla back to back? Or will they get caught off guard by Lady Stunner & The Ankle Breaker?
The teams sort out and Jamie steps to Jordan. They circle as the fans rally, then Jamie blocks a kick to ROCK Jordan! Then she BLASTS Emily just because before she BOOTS Jordan! Jamie bumps Jordan off buckles, DOUBLE CHOPS, then tags Alex. Alex DOUBLE CHOPS, then she tags Jamie! Another DOUBLE CHOP, and then tag back to Alex for a DOUBLE CHOP! Jamie tags back in, The Birds wind up, but Emily runs in! The Birds DOUBLE ELBOW Emily before they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Jordan! Jamie then hauls Jordan up to snap suplex! SLIDING LARIAT and then ground ‘n’ pound! Jamie brings Jordan up, Windsor joins in, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS!
Then they set up, The Birds DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Jordan sputters, right into TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! Cover, The Brawling Birds win!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
Yep, it’s like Jamie wasn’t even out a week! But will they make sure to settle the score with The Triangle of Madness on the road to Double or Nothing?
The Triangle of Madness speaks.
Thekla says everybody says Thekla, why do you always call people “dumb b*tches?” Thekla would love to stop calling people dumb b*tches, but there are just too many dumb b*tches in AEW! Skye Blue adds that what happened on Collision to Persephone was entirely The Birds’ fault. But getting mist in the face was the best thing to ever happen to Skye, so maybe it opens Perse’s eyes, too. So what happened to Jamie & Alex? They’re supposed to be the big bad Brawling Birds, but they just can’t seem to handle a little ol’ Toxic Spider. Thekla’s advice is to stick with the tag team, because when it is 1v1, Thekla is everything, and they are nothing!
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to be confident in her toxic dominance, but will someone come along and figure out how to wipe this spider out?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Ace Austin w/ Juice Robinson!
While The Rainmaker wants his fight with The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, he still has a duty to defend this title. Will Okada prove what a real champion looks like? Or will The Inevitable make him Fold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this gamble!
The bell rings and Callis admits, Ace has impressive quads. Too bad his hometown of Atlantic City is a dump. The fans tell off Callis even though he’s just on commentary, and the two tie up. Ace and Okada push each other back and forth, but Okada’s height becomes his leverage. Okada has Ace in a corner, but the ref counts. Okada lets off, then fakes the chop. Okada pats Ace on the shoulders, then stomps low! The fans are torn as Okada stomps a mudhole, but he backs off as the ref counts. Okada soaks up heat, then he ROCKS Ace with a forearm. Okada whips, Ace ducks and rolls to drop toehold and ENZIGIRI!
The fans cheer while Ace steps over to cradle, TWO! Ace DROPKICKS Okada down and the fans fire up! Ace KICKS Okada in the back, then CLUBS his arm. The fans rally as Ace lines up a shot and ROCKS Okada. Okada goes to a corner, Ace KICKS and CLUBS him. Ace whips Okada to ropes but Okada reverses, only for ace to fireman’s carry! Ace does squats to then DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The fans fire up for “The Quad God” as he poses. Ace runs up, Okada dodges, and Okada comes back. Ace slips into the ropes and Okada hits buckles! Ace then slips back inside to FLYING CHUCK! Okada staggers while the fans fire up again!
Okada bails out, Ace takes aim, but Okada avoids the plancha! Ace avoids the leg sweep, and Okada is stunned to see the handstand! Okada applauds, that’s impressive even to him. But then Ace DROPKICKS Okada again, then PLANCHAS! Okada avoids the impact, kicks low, and DDTS to the floor! Ace writhes and Okada grins while the fans applaud. The ref checks Ace while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Okada “apologizes” to the ref, then drags Ace up. Okada RAMS Ace into the railing! The ref reprimands, Okada rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Okada then RAMS Ace into more railing! Ace drops to his knees, Okada offers a high-five, and a young fan returns it. The fans applaud that, then Okada offers one to Callis. They high-five, cheapening the moment. Okada puts Ace in the ring, Ace checks his head, but Okada brings him up. Okada bumps Ace hard off buckles! Okada slaps Ace around, then stands him up to whip hard into buckles again! Ace falls back, checking his mouth, but his mouthguard did its part to protect his teeth.
Okada stands Ace up but Ace fires a body shot! And a CHOP! Ace then lifts Okada, but Okada fights free to kick and DDT! Okada pushes Ace over to the cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that but Okada brushes it off. Okada paces, sneaks a middle finger at the fans, then scuffs Ace. Okada kicks Ace around while Dynamite returns to single picture. Ace stands but Okada Alabama Lifts, tucks, and REVERSE NECKBREAKERS! The fans rally as Okada brings Ace up again. Okada scoops to SLAM Ace in the drop zone! Standard formula says Okada goes up, and he aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit, and Okada winds up… The Rainmaker Middle Finger!
Okada drags Ace up, wristlocks, but Ace fights the ripcord! They run around and tumble out of the ring! The fans rally up as Ace is on the apron. Okada stands, but he blocks Ace’s Penalty Kick! Okada THROWS Ace, Ace handstands again! Ace then handsprings over the sweep! PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up as Okada staggers around the way. Ace builds speed to FOSBURY FLOP! Ace just manages to clear the apron and the fans fire up for that! Ace gets Okada up and into the ring. Ace climbs, springboards, but Okada dodges! But then Ace fireman’s carries! Okada slips free, ROLLING- NO, Ace blocks to KNEE low!
Ace KICKS and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS! Then “CLICK CLICK!” BOOM DROP! The fans fire up for Ace as he runs corner to corner, forearm SMASH! Ace pushes Okada out, springboards, and FLYING LEG DROPS! Cover, TWO!! Okada survives and Ace is stunned! Ace takes out his ace card, and runs up for- A BOOT! Ace still reels Okada in, but Okada fights the suplex. Ace wrenches, Okada rolls Ace, TWO! Okada CLUBS Ace down! Okada drags Ace up, whips him to ropes, but Ace avoids the dropkick! Ace then lines up the shot again, THE- NO, Okada pops Ace up, but Ace sunset flips! TWO!! Okada rises, BOOTS, and Ace falls!
Okada lines up a shot, he runs up, but he blocks a boot. Okada flips Ace, Ace lands safe on the apron and ROCKS Okada! Ace steps in again, FLYING- DROPKICK! The anti-air hits hard, then Okada ripcords! RAIN- NO, Okada ducks it to backslide! TWO!! Callis freaks out at how close that was! Ace runs, but into the DROPKICK! Okada snarls, gut wrenches, and TOMBSTONES!! Okada roars because he’s not done! Okada ripcords for THE RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Ace was so close to the jackpot, but Okada isn’t one of the best ever for nothing! Mark Davis congratulates his Don Callis Family brother, while Callis himself SMOTHERS Ace for pushing Okada this far! Juice Robinson scares Callis off, but then wait! Konosuke Takeshita is here! The Alpha stares down Okada, and signals that he’s taking that title. Will Takeshita avenge himself for that Continental Classic controversy? Or will no one dry up the reign?
A country town is in chaos!
They’re all running away from the saloon as someone is putting the hurt on everybody. This man then picks up a wanted poster, the bounty for The Most Wanted, Bandido. And that man… is Swerve Strickland! Prince Nana hands Swerve his lighter, and Swerve burns the bounty. Is The Outlaw about to enter Swerve’s House, and never return?
The Death Riders speak.
While Marina Shafir grapples with Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia says, “This is who we are, and this is how we train. You don’t get to be the best out there until you’re the best in here first.” But then look who walks in! Will Ospreay is here, and Jon Moxley says he has arrived! Did Ospreay get cleared? Nope. Might as well say it now, though: Ospreay is going to Japan, he and the Empire boys have a big title match, and then we’ll see. Moxley says, “Loyalty. You are too good to be true.” Moxley looks to Pac, kinda pokes at him, then says first thing’s first: Moxley needs Ospreay to drop everything.
Everything up here in the mind. The clouds, the vision, the thing that makes you see things up there. Then everything in the heart. The tugs, the pulls. And then everything in the gut, the anger that burns a hole. Drop it all. Excess baggage, they don’t need it. The feelings Ospreay has about Moxley, drop ’em. They don’t need excess baggage. Moxley makes no promises, he is not a miracle worker. But when Moxley makes a commitment to something, he sees it through all the way to the end. All he asks is the same in return. Ospreay nods and says okay. Moxley says beautiful! Ospreay and Pac stare down, but they leave it at that.
Ospreay asks where’s the ring. Moxley says they don’t need a ring. They’re starting from the ground up. The rest is proprietary, so sorry. Moxley pushes the cameraman out of the room, and now the real work begins. Will, or rather, can Ospreay survive the Death Rider dungeon and come out a stronger wrestler on the other side?
FTR is here!
Fairfax boos as the AEW World Tag Team Champions and #BigStoke make their way to ringside, but to sit by commentary so they can watch this next match.
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage VS Roppongi Vice!
While C&C want revenge on FTR so badly, they’re willing to stake their career as a team on it, this is to settle a different score! Will this tag team that reeks of awesomeness bring down Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta? Or will tonight belong to Azucar & #JustTrent?
The teams sort out and Cage starts against Rocky. The fans rally while Cage keeps that bad arm away from Rocky. They tie up, Rocky wrenches the bad arm, then wristlocks. Cage powers Rocky to a corner, the ref counts, but Cage backs off at 4. The fans cheer while Cage talks trash on FTR. Cage and Rocky reset, feel things out, but Rocky kicks low. Rocky wrenches, CLUBS, and CLUBS the bad arm. Rocky CLUBS away on the arm, then wrenches again. Cage KNEES low, then runs, but into a DROPKICK! Rocky slides for the soccer celebration, but Cage snatches him! REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO!
Cage tags Cope and the fans cheer as they THROW Rocky into the corner again and again and again! Then BOOT LEG SWEEP COMBO! Cover, TWO! Rocky toughs it out, but Cope flips off FTR. Cope whips Rocky but Rocky KICKS back! Tag to Trent but Cope kicks and CLUBS Trent! Cope whips, Trent reverses, then Trent drops down to STANDING METEORA! Trent snarls, covers, TWO! Cope is tougher than that but Trent stalks Cope to a corner. Trent pie faces Cope, CHOPS him, then CHOPS again! Trent whips corner to corner, Cope reverses and Trent tumbles up, down, and into a BOOT! The fans cheer as Cope stands tall.
Cope drags Trent up, but Trent powers free! Cope drop toeholds Trent onto the ropes, tags Cage, and Cage stands on Trent to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Cage steps down, and he slingshots to the outside. Cope SPLASHES Trent before Cage UPPERCUTS him down! Cage then drags Trent out, THROWS him into barriers, and the fans cheer as Cage drags him up again. Cage ROCKS Trent, brings him around, and he SMACKS Rocky along the way! Cage puts Trent against the post, but Cash Wheeler shouts at him. Cage grabs Cash through the ropes, but Trent wrenches the bad arm, to SWING it into the POST!
The fans boo as FTRPG Vice are talking trash on C&C, but even Stokely talks trash from commentary. Wait, who is this standing up in the matching hoodies? It’s THE CONGLOMERATION! The fans cheer as Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong make their presence known, and Stokely senses it. Stoke turns around to see Conglomeration having snacks, and Stoke takes a swing!? Cassidy dodges that easily, and then SMACKS Stoke with the popcorn! FTR is furious, but they end up brawling with Conglomeration! RPG Vice mugs Christian while Conglomeration handles FTR & Stokely, off into the crowd!
The fans fire up as this brawl moves through the aisleway, and Cassidy is giving Stokely a noogie to his bald head! But Trent sets Cage up for Rocky’s FLYING KNEE! RPG Vice still has control while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Rocky talks a lot more trash on Cage, but Cope scares him off! The ref reprimands everyone, and Cope backs off while Trent stands Cage up. Trent whips Cage hard into railing! Trent then tags Rocky, and Rocky digs his boot into Cage’s bad arm against the railing! Rocky puts Cage in the ring, stomps the bad arm again, then drags Cage around. Tag to Trent, they double wrench to double BODY BLOW! Then they run to JUMP KNEE and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cage toughs it out but Trent slaps him around. Trent drags Cage up, snapmares, and he clamps on a top wristlock! Cage endures, Cope coaches him, and the fans rally up.
Cage rises, fires body shots, then runs the ropes, but into a kick! Trent hits an ARMBAR DDT! Cover, TWO! Cage scrambles to ropes but Trent tags Rocky in. Rocky steps on Cage very much like Cage would, then steps off as the ref counts. Rocky argues with the ref and with Cope, letting Trent SMACK Cage in the distraction! Cope seethes but he can’t do anything while Rocky traps Cage’s arm for an ELBOW JAMMER! Rocky then double wristlocks the arm and puts on the pressure. Cage endures, fights back up, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally again as Cage wrenches out, but Rocky wrenches to headlock, only for Cage to hit a BIG back suplex!
Both men are down and the fans rally harder! Rocky crawls, hot tag to Trent! Trent BLASTS Cope, the fans boo, but Trent tags Rocky back in. Trent puts Cage on the ropes, Rocky DOUBLE STOMPS Cage down for Trent to SLIDING KNEE! Cover, but Cope breaks it! The fans cheer but Rocky keeps Cage from Cope. Cage fires a body shot, but Rocky KICKS the bad arm! And KICKS, and KICKS, then CHOPS! Rocky puts Cage up top, climbs up after him, and goes for the arm. Cage fires body shots, shoves Rocky back, but Rocky returns for a SUPER ARM-DRAG! Then the ARMBAR! Cage endures while the fans rally up again!
Cage fights around, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer while Rocky lets go in frustration. Tag to Trent and he storms up on Cage. Trent ROCKS Cage but Cage fires hands in return! Cage fights off RPG Vice, sneaks under Trent, but Rocky tags in! Rocky whips Cage to a corner, but Cage ELBOWS him away! Cage goes up, but Rocky grabs the arm! But Cage CLAWS Rocky’s face! Cage then TORNADO DDTS Rocky! The fans fire up while both men are down again! Cage and Rocky crawl, hot tags to Trent and Cope! The fans fire up as Cope BACKDROPS Trent! Then FLAPJACKS! Then he whips corner to corner, runs up, but into an ELBOW!
Trent has Cope, TORNADO- NO, Cope denies the DDT, then hits the IMPALER! Cover, but Rocky runs up! Cope moves, the ELBOW DROP hits Trent! The fans cheer, and Cope ROCKS Rocky! And CHOPS Trent! Cope runs, but into a DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! And then another DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! Trent Alabama Lifts Cope while Rocky climbs, but Cage SHOVES Rocky down! And a BOOT into the CODE RED! Cover, but Rocky breaks it! Cage has Rocky but Rocky CLAWS Cage’s face! Rocky runs, but Cage SMACKS him with the brace! Trent CLOBBERS Cage! But Cope SPEAR- NO, Trent leaps over! Roll-up, with feet on the ropes! The ref sees it in time!
The fans cheer as Trent is caught cheating! Trent argues with the ref, then pleads with him. But Cope runs up, only for Trent to BOOT him! Trent runs up, but Cope pops him up, for Cage’s SPEAR! Cover, C&C win!
Winners: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage, by pinfall
They may be less than 100% physically, but they’re still 100% mentally! As for emotionally, Cage grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Given the role RPG Vice played in Cage’s arm injury, he SNAPS the crossbar of the chair off, and he hands it to Cope! Bent as it is, Cope uses it to GAG Trent! TORONTO SMILE!! Cage grabs a mic and he asks Trent, “Do you know what to say?! Say it!” Trent shouts, but the crossbar is kinda muddying it into “I qwimt!” They take the bar out and Cage asks again. Trent shouts, “I QUIT! I QUIT!” Cope lets Trent go and the fans cheer. Cage says, “I will never say ‘I quit,’ you little b*tch.”
Cope & Christian have their payback on RPG Vice, but now it will be a matter of getting their revenge on FTR. Will Cash & Dax prove they’re truly the best tag team of all time? Or will they have to admit defeat in the worst way possible?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and brings up that this is twice now that Ricochet has defeated him with the “Ricosault.” Does Jericho think there is any validity that this Ricosault is an improvement on the Lionsault? Jericho says what he does think is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But he’s not really flattered right now, he’s more pissed off. But here’s the thing, Ricochet has obviously been following Jericho’s career very closely. But not close enough because if he was- THE DEMAND ATTACKS! Ricochet, Kaun & Liona beat Jericho down 3v1, then get him up to his knees. Ricochet asks if this is what Jericho wanted. Is this what Jericho thought this would be in his big return to AEW?!
No more jokes, no more games, no more subliminal messages! Ricochet told Jericho to leave or get hurt! Look at him! What do you gotta say?! Is this what you wanted?! Jericho says, “Eat s*it, bald!” Ricochet HAMMERS away on Jericho, then RIPS the shirt away! Then The Gates of Agony THROW Jericho into a road case! Ricochet says that’s what you get! Then Ricochet uses the case to backflip over Jericho, and says, “You’re not even worth it. AHA~!” The Demand leaves Jericho down and out, but will they be the ones to kick him out of AEW?

Megan Bayne & Lena Kross have been a dominant team since Dynasty, and are perhaps the most dominant team of all time! But will they make these former AEW Women’s World Champions #BowDown? Or can #Shidalander truly become the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who has true power!
The teams sort out and Shida starts against Lena. The bell rings and Shida DROPKICKS Lena! Then she fires a shot on Megan, but Megan doesn’t move! Shida fires shots on Lena, on Megan, but then Lena KNEES low! Lena bumps Shida off buckles, RAMS into her again and again, but stops as the ref counts. Shida fires more shots on Lena, but Lena THROWS Shida away! The fans applaud, as does Megan, but Shida BOOTS Lena away! Shida runs up, but Lena RUNS her over! Lena soaks up cheers and jeers, then drags Shida up to bump her off buckles. Tag to Megan, Divine Dominion double whip, and they DOUBLE SHOULDER Shida down!
The fans are torn but Megan soaks it all up. Megan drags Shida up, back suplexes, but then counters Shida’s sunset flip into a FALL AWAY SLAM! Not the cleanest throw but an effective one. Megan “kicks rocks” at Shida, then runs up, but Shida slips around! Shida waistlocks, she RAMS Megan into a corner, then runs corner to corner to JUMP KNEE! Shida climbs up and the fans cheer, but Megan stops Shida before she even starts! Shida still throws hands, slips free, and kicks low. Shida runs, but Megan blocks the jump knee! SPINEBUSTER! Shida tumbles out while Megan seethes. Shida is frustrated but she storms back in!
Shida dodges Megan, CLAWS Megan’s face, then she grabs her kendo stick! But Kris grabs it, telling Shida to stop! They argue, but then Kris uses the stick to yank Shida out of the way! Megan POSTS herself instead of hitting Shida! Shida tags Kris, they have Megan in the ropes, and then Shida kicks Kris?! Oh, so she can snap suplex her into Megan! A unique attack, but Kris drags Megan up. Megan RAMS Kris into the Divine Dominion’s corner! Tag to Lena, they double whip Kris, but Kris ducks ‘n’ dodges to DOUBLE RAN- NO! The champs stop Kris to SLAM her down! Then they drag Kris up, bring her in, and DOUBLE SUPLEX! But Kris lands out!
Kris BOOTS Lena, DUMPS Megan, but Lena ROCKS Kris! Lena whips, Kris reverses and ELBOWS Lena, then PELES! Lena staggers, Kris gut wrenches and tucks, but Lena drops down! So Kris makes it a cross-legged cover, TWO! Kris ends up on ropes, Lena blocks the ref’s view, Megan hits a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Megan grins as she gets one in, then Lena Electric Chair Lifts Kris! To HOTSHOT her on the ropes! Divine Dominion is indeed dominating as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Divine Dominion revels in the cheers and jeers, then Lena argues with the ref before she brings Kris up. Lena bumps Kris off buckles, tags Megan, and Megan stomps away in the corner. Megan stops as the ref counts, but that lets Lena CHOKE Kris! Megan drags Kris up, RAMS into her again and again, then CHOPS! Tag to Lena, and Megan BLASTS Shida for good measure! Then a SPLASH and BUTTERFLY PLEX for Kris before Lena adds a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Kris survives but she’s isolated with Shida down on the floor. Lena stomps Kris down, then stalks her to the ropes. Lena CHOKES Kris, the ref counts, but Lena steps back.
Kris flounders around but Lena drags her up. Kris fires body shots but Lena CLUBS her. Lena snapmares, runs, and SLIDING- NO, Kris turns that into a ghost pin! TWO, and Lena LARIATS Kris down! Lena snarls as she covers, TWO! Lena clamps onto Kris with a chinlock and grinds her down. Shida is back on the corner, and she rallies with the fans for Kris to get up. Kris rises, but Lena THROWS her back down by her hair! Lena “apologizes” to the ref, then covers, TWO! Kris toughs it out but Lena keeps on her. Lena stands Kris up, but Kris JAWBERAKERS! And throat chops! And LEG SWEEPS! Dynamite returns as Kris crawls!
Lena tags Megan, and Megan runs up to BLAST Shida! Then Divine Dominion reel Kris in for a DOUBLE- NO, Kris fights the suplex! Kris fires CHOP after CHOP after CHOP on the champs! The fans fire up as she runs, then DOUBLE RANAS! The Divine Dominion tumbles around, Shida reaches out, but Megan drags Kris back! Kris fights the fisherman, but Megan BOOTS her! Kris rebounds to DISCUS LARIAT! Both women are down again and the fans fire up! Kris crawls, reaches out, but so does Megan. Hot tags to Lena and Shida! The fans fire up as Shida fires off on Lena! Lena ROCKS Shida, but Shida fires another flurry!
Lena ROCKS Shida again, then whips, but Shida reverses, only for Lena to block! Shida fires a flurry, Lena shoves her away, but Shida dodges! Shida goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up for Shida and she runs the ropes, but Megan snatches her! Lena BOOTS Shida while the fans boo. Lena whips, Shida dodges to KNEE Megan down! Then she drop toeholds Lena into Megan! And then Shida DOUBLE SLIDING KICKS them down! The fans fire up as Shida hurries to the apron! Shida aims to DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! Divine Dominion is down but Shida rises again! The fans chant “HOLY SHIDA!” as she brings Lena around.
Shida puts Lena in the ring, drags her up, and reels her in, but Lena fights the suplex! Lena suplexes, Shida slips free, but Lean HOOK KICKS! Kris tags in and fires off shots! Lena ducks a kick to ROCK Kris! Lena whips, Kris goes up, but Megan traps her! Lena YANKS Kris down, then tags Megan! Lena forearm SMASHES, then ELBOWS Kris! Lena runs side to side, and so does Megan! BOOT follows BOOT, then Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Megan drags Kris up, ROCKS her, then whips her. Kris reverses, Lena tags in, but Kris goes Matrix to avoid Megan’s flying lariat! Kris kips up, but into Lena’s SUPERKICK!
Shida runs up to ROUNDHOUSE Lena! SHOTGUN BOOT from Megan to Shida! Kris BLUE THUNDER BOMBS Megan! Then she ROUNDHOUSES Lena! The fans fire up as Divine Dominion is stacked on top of each other, and Kris climbs a corner! Kris aims to 450 SPLASH!! Two for one on the impact and Kris hurries to cover Lena, TWO?!? Kris is stunned but Lena is dazed. Kris hauls Lena up, but Shida tags herself in! Kris is upset but she SLAMS Lena down for Shida to METEORA! Then the FALCON ARROW!! Cover, TWO?!? Lena survives again and now Shida is shocked! Shida aims for the KATA- NO, Megan intercepts with a BELLY2BELLY!
But Kris SUPERKICKS Megan! Lena waistlocks Kris, Kris switches, but Lean switches back. Megan returns, BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Then they get Shida up, DIVINE INTERVENTION!! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Granted, Shida went a bit rogue changing things on Kris there, but it’s hard to deny that Megan & Lena have the stats to reign forever and ever! Will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, ever dethrone Divine Dominion?
Programming note for next week!
Wednesday, May 6th, North Charleston, South Carolina is in for a treat! They don’t just get AEW Dynamite, they get AEW Collision as a THREE HOUR COMBO! All live on TBS and HBO Max, make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Renee Paquette is now with The Jackal himself, as well as Andrade El Idolo, and speaks to the incredible tear- MJF steps in and says, “No, no, no, Renee, I’m sorry, incredible tear? Here’s what you have done. You have ruined this company! Thanks to you, Darby Allin is on a reign of terror!” Andrade says okay, how you know? W-what? How does MJF know? Because Darby is world champion, that’s how! How you know? Because Don told MJF that Andrade lost his contender’s match! How you know? Because MJF saw it later with his own two eyes! Andrade again asks, “How you know?” Andrade smiles, and MJF says (sarcastically) that Andrade’s real funny.
MJF then shoves Andrade! Callis steps in and has them stop. Andrade is Callis’ money man. MJF is THE money man! Business is business. MJF doesn’t have a belt, there’s no reason for Andrade to fight MJF. And MJF, you need to get that belt back! They’re all better off when MJF is on top! So let’s just focus on business, guys. Okay? Just this once? MJF storms off one way, Andrade the other, and Callis says, “Wild horses, they’re gonna run. What’re you gonna do?” Callis follows Andrade, but will The Real Latino Man accept this truce with The Scumbag?
Rush VS Steven Fuerte!
From wild horses to El Toro Blanco, Rush has certainly been on a stampede since returning from injury. However, he is only getting hungrier and hungrier for gold around his waist. Will that stampede finally lead him to opportunities at Double or Nothing? Or will he have to make due with an appetizer?
The bell rings and Fuerte offers a handshake. Rush DECKS Fuerte instead! Fuerte tumbles out of the ring, Rush goes out after him, and Rush THROWS Fuerte into barriers! The fans fire up as Rush then THROWS Fuerte back into barriers, then stomps away! The ref counts but Rush fires body shots! Rush SMACKS Fuerte off the barriers, then snarls as he drags Fuerte back up. Rush puts Fuerte in the ring, watches him flounder to the corner, and he CHOPS! Fuertes falls, Rush puts him in the corner, then rains down forearms! The ref counts, especially as Rush stomps away! The ref backs Rush down, and Rush just pumps it up!
The fans chant for “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Rush goes corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…! You get the horns!!”” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
Rush made quick work of this one, then he grabs the mic to say cut his music, but in Espanol. Rush continues by saying that he is done with all these dogs! He is Rush, and remember! When you mess with the bull… You get the HORNS! Who else will be trampled under El Toro Blanco as he hunts after gold?
Backstage interview with The Opps.
Renee Paquette is now with Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Hook, and newest member, Anthony Bowens. Renee says Joe is back, looked great back in action, but what is the game plan moving forward? Joe says, “Game plan… Maybe a declaration of intent. Well, it is simple. The Opps, we intend to reassert our dominance here in AEW. How do we plan to do that? I’ll tell you. We plan to do it with men like Katsuyori Shibata, fury made flesh, a man who is kind enough to put on a kick pad so he doesn’t cave in your head when he kicks your skull off.
“We’re gonna do that with men like Anthony Bowens, multiple time world tag team champion here in AEW. A man who has been undervalued, underappreciated, and most importantly, underestimated. And you will see the best version of him now in The Opps. Then we come to Hook, a man who intends to become the new King of Television when he captures the TNT Championship this weekend on Collision. But more importantly, our reign to the top, it includes strategic acquisition. And that brings me to you, Will Ospreay. Y’see, Will, I hope and I pray that you’re not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
“Because those boys in the Death Riders, they had you in the very same position that they saved you from not too long ago, and you know who came and took you out of that? We did, Will. We had your back. So you have to ask yourself, what kind of relationship do you want? Do you want one of convenience? Or one of confidence? Because The Opps are here, and the choice is yours.” That is quite the offer from the Samoan Submission Specialist. But will Ospreay change sides now that he’s already started down the road with the Death Riders? Or will he help The Opps get back on top?
FTR speaks.
Dynamite returns as #BigStoke informs us he just spoke with Tony Khan. Orange Cassidy, they have an “interesting proposition.” Next week, Dynamite Double Jeopardy! Cassidy goes 1v1 with Dax the Ax, and IF Cassidy wins, he and any member of The Conglomeration can challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! But WHEN Dax wins, FTR gets the shot at the AEW World Trios Championships! And Stoke knows ol’ OC is begging for Stoke to get in the ring so they can be face to face, but guess what? That is not gonna happen. Stoke thinks they have a pretty good third partner, and it is the man who took Darby to his limit.
In steps Tommaso Ciampa! The Psycho Killer says last time he and FTR teamed up, if he remembers correctly, Ciampa shelfed Mark Briscoe indefinitely. This time, they take them trios titles. Ciampa picks the popcorn crumb from Stokely’s beard, and says, “Top Guys out.” Ciampa eats the crumb, then waves goodbye. Will these three truly be a dangerous combination? Or can Freshly Squeezed earn himself and… someone… another title opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Hook challenging The Jet for the TNT Championship, we will see The Death Riders & The Dogs team up again, but against the combination of The Rascalz & Top Flight! Another 10 Man Tag, but which side comes out on top? Then there’s more gold on the line in Peoria, Illinois, as “Jungle” Jack Perry defends the AEW National Championship against Mascara Dorada! Will the King of the Ropes add more gold to the collection? Or will Jack Perry continue to live his best Tarzan Life? Then the Bang Bang Gang hopes to rebound from Ace’s loss tonight as they go 2v2 with Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta! Will Juice & Ace win big? Or will The Death Riders dominate the night?
And lastly, “Comeback Killer” Willow Nightingale put out the challenge last week and it has been answered! Anna Jay returns to action, and she challenges for the AEW TBS Championship! Will Anna truly be the Star of the Show? Or will the Babe with the Power overpower The Queenslayer?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Brody King!
The Relentless One promised to be a fighting champion, and so far that is mission accomplished. But he also promised that Kevin Knight gets the next shot next week! Will Darby continue to keep his promises? Or will the King of Death throw those plans for a loop?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we add another chapter to this storied and brutal rivalry!
The bell rings and the fans are fired up already. The rivals step up, shake hands, then back up, only for Darby to SHOTGUN Brody! Darby fires off fists, Brody shove him away, but Darby comes back with fists! Darby springboards, but into a CHOP! Darby is stinging but Brody clamps on a SLEEPER! Darby grab ropes, the ref counts, but then Brody SLAPS Darby’s hands down to GERMAN SUPLEX him away! Darby tumbles all the way to the corner, and Brody roars as he runs! CANNONBALL! Brody hauls Darby up, Canadian Racks, but Darby fights free! Darby goes to another corner, and he BOOTS Brody away!
Darby goes up but Brody CHOPS! Brody climbs, Darby CLUBS away, and Darby hops on for a SUPER CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and bails out while the fans fire up. Darby snarls, builds speed, and DIVES! But he just bounces off of Brody’s body?!? Even Darby has to smile about that, that was wild! Brody drags Darby up and CHOPS him! Darby staggers around the way but Brody follows. Brody brings Darby up, CHOPS him again, and he grabs a chair! The ref reprimands but Brody tells fans to move aside. Brody sits the chair up, makes Darby take a seat, and CHOPS him for good measure. Brody barks, fans join in, and Brody runs up!
But Darby trips Brody and Brody hits the chair! The fans rally as Darby hurries to take that chair for his own. Darby sets it up, brings Brody up, and Darby makes Brody take a seat. Darby fires forearms, CLAWS Brody’s back, then he climbs up the corner! The fans fire up because they know this means SUPER MISSILE DROPKICK! Direct hit on Brody but Darby also writhes from that landing! The fans are thunderous while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Darby but he insists he’s okay. Brody is okay to continue, as well, and both men slowly sit up. Darby hobbles and rolls into the ring, followed by Brody. They slowly stand, and Darby hobbles over to fire forearm after forearm! Brody DECKS Darby with just one! Brody leans on the ropes while he catches his breath, and Darby slowly sits back up. Brody brings Darby around to CHOP him back down! Darby sputters but Brody drags him back up. Brody ROCKS Darby, whips corner to corner hard, and Darby falls to the mat! Brody storms over to Darby, stands him up, and scoops for a SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Brody stays on Darby with another scoop and SLAM! Another cover, TWO! Darby toughs it out and Brody grows frustrated. Brody drags Darby up again, scoops and SLAMS again, then covers, TWO!! Darby continues to survive, and now Brody is oddly amused. Brody looms over Darby, but Darby fires shots at the legs. Brody CHOPS Darby down! Then SENTONS onto Darby! Darby sputters and clutches his leg, it was trapped under him when the senton hit! Brody shrugs, not his fault. Brody looms over Darby but Darby crawls away. Brody stalks Darby, brings him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture for the lift. Darby GUILLOTINE FACELOCKS to counter!
Brody puts Darby on the ropes, fires body shots, and then he CHOPS Darby down! Darby hits apron before he hits floor! The fans rally and bark while Brody argues with the ref. Brody goes out after Darby, drags him up, and CHOKE SLAMS him on the apron! Brody says this is what Darby wanted, so he clears the desk! The fans cheer, and Brody even puts the desk lid off to the side. Brody paces, and watching from the skybox, it’s Kevin Knight. The TNT Champion is facing one of these two next week, so naturally he wants to watch with his own eyes. But then Darby JUMPS on Brody’s back! Darby has a SLEEPER!
Darby squeezes tight, but Brody stays on his feet! Brody runs with Darby as a backpack, CANNOBNALL down through the desk hood!! Fairfax loses their minds as both men are down in the wreckage! We get a quick look backstage to see MJF is watching this, too. The ref checks and both men are able to continue. Brody is up first and he drags Darby around. Brody scoops but Darby fights free! Darby SHOVES Brody into the desk! That corner edge gets Brody right in the stomach! Darby hurries to finish clearing the desk, and he throws hands on Brody! And even SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! Brody SLAPS back!
Darby sputters on the desk, and now Brody climbs up to join him! The fans go nuts as Brody reels Darby in. Darby fires body shots and shots on the legs, but Brody CHOPS Darby! SLEEPER!! Brody dangles Darby like he has before, but Darby CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Brody lets go, Darby hurries back up, CODE RED ON THE DESK! The desk does not break, but both men might be busted up from that landing! The fans lose their minds all the same while the ref checks both men. Darby is up and in the ring, sore as he is, but Brody rises. Darby shakes out the bad leg, builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and they hit the desk again!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Darby sits up, then manages to hobble his way over. Brody follows, they roll into the ring, and Darby goes up the corner! But Brody trips Darby up, then CHOPS him into the Tree of Woe! Brody then sits Darby up, just so he can CHOP Darby again! Brody barks as he storms around, and then he runs up to CANNONBALL!! Darby sputters but Brody drags him up, just to short arm LARIAT him back down! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and shocks Brody! Brody hauls Darby right up, runs, CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!! Cover, TWO!!! Darby survives again and Brody is beside himself!
The fans are thunderous for Darby as he sits up in a daze. Brody shakes his head, unsure how Darby is still doing this. Brody YANKS Darby up, runs up, but Darby dodges the splash! Brody sputters from hitting buckles, and Darby CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Darby HEADBUTTS Brody, but that just pisses Brody off! Brody THROWS Darby onto a cameraman!! The camera is fine but Darby writhes on the ground! Brody storms out after Darby, grabs him by the legs, but Darby claws at the floor mat! The mat is pulled up as Brody drags Darby along! The fans fire up as the camera seems to be along for the ride!
Darby kicks at Brody, kicks free, then hurries to his feet. Brody CHOPS Darby and Darby staggers away. The fans rally and bark, and Brody runs up for a CANNONBALL THROUGH RAILING!! But Darby narrowly avoids that human car wreck!! The fans go nuts as Darby hurries to finish pulling up floor mats! Darby has exposed a good portion of concrete, but he makes sure to roll into the ring to stop the count. Brody storms back up on Darby, but Darby BITES Brody’s hands! The ref reprimands but Brody ROCKS Darby! Brody reels Darby in, and he looks to the floor! The fans freak out but Darby fights the suplex!
Darby SLAPS Brody’s hands, then slides under! SUNSET BOMB on bare concrete!! The fans go nuts again, but Darby isn’t done! Darby climbs, aims, and SUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Direct hit, and a solid one at that! The ring count climbs again, and Darby rolls in at 4 of 10. Brody is down at 6, but he rises at 7! Brody stands at 9, and he lunges in at 9.9! Only for Darby to COFFIN DROP again!! Then COFFIN DROP again!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Championship)
This newest chapter might’ve been their greatest, if not CRAZIEST, one yet! And in the end, Darby’s relentless nature carries him through again! Knight nods, knowing exactly what to expect for next week. But will Knight make it through the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil on Collision to then bring that TNT Championship to the dance? As for Brody, he and Darby shake hands as great rivals and friends. Darby makes sure to look at Knight up in the skybox, will Darby be able to survive his own reign going this hard week after week?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite that they really stacked with title matches. But at the same time, status quo kept and all in awesome ways. Honestly, part of me is surprised that Knight retained against MJF, because of the “Double or Nothing” idea of Darby VS MJF, title for title. But at the same time, maybe Darby is going to make MJF put up his ability to challenge for the world title, same as in MJF VS Hangman. Great win for Knight all the same, and he’ll have a very good match against Hook on Collision, and against Darby Allin next week. Darby VS Brody was an awesome main event, like PPV quality, holy crap, but great win for Darby.
MJF had a great promo with Callis & Andrade to further that feud and its slow burn. I would think that win, lose or draw with Darby, MJF will feud with Andrade for the summer. A great match for Ace Austin against Okada, but again, of course Okada won out so he and Takeshita will still have their title match. Great promo from Thekla & Skye to call out Brawling Birds, and Brawling Birds of course win their match tonight. I still wanna see that Triple Threat of Thekla VS Windsor VS Persephone with someone becoming a double champion, but it feels like it might be Thekla VS Windsor VS Hayter just so Thekla obviously gets away with a win.
Great women’s tag title match, #Shidalander getting their best showing yet, obviously. But given the story they’re building, of course Shidalander loses. Divine Dominion VS Brawling Birds definitely needs to happen for All In London, so all these other matches are just biding time on that. Rush continues to bide his time, but between the TNT Championship and the National Championship, Rush needs to get one of those to vindicate himself here in AEW. Great tag match from C&C VS RPG Vice, but also a great appearance by Conglomeration to go after FTR. They’re already building that story even before Double or Nothing, which is clunky, but I like the idea of the Double Jeopardy. Though, with that, FTR & Ciampa are definitely getting their match for the trios titles.
And great stuff in this story of Will Ospreay’s recovery. Great promo from Ospreay with the Death Riders, but then The Opps just jump in and want to recruit him now? That’s weird. I suppose there is still good continuity here, because Face Opps did fight against Heel Death Riders, and so the factions are double-turning and the feud is continuing. I am pretty sure Ospreay sticks to Death Riders in this, and there’s still so much missed opportunity not having Max Caster as part of Bowens’ story with The Opps. But hey, if it gives us Ospreay VS Shibata and Ospreay VS Joe through such a feud, who am I to question it?
My Score: 9.1/10
