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?

Angelico spins and steps through to hook and spin and wrench and arm-drag Christian, then lounge on the mat. Fans boo Angelico but he eggs Christian on, while holding a leg guard.

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!

Pac stalks Cutler, runs in corner to corner and uppercuts Cutler down! Pac looms over Cutler and fans are fired up. Pac gets Cutler up, wrenches, but looks to his corner. 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 ref gets the chair out, Matt stomps and chokes Pac! Matt lets off as the ref reprimands, and he tags Nick. The Bucks drag Pac up to bring him around and whip him to ropes, for a DOUBLE BOOT! 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. Kingston is pissed but the Bucks double whip Pac into their corner. Nick run sin but Pac TOSSES him! Pac BOOTS Matt, then hurries for the corner!

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?
The teams sort out and Hangman starts with Cage. Hangman rushes in but Cage RAMS him into a corner! Cage RAMS his shoulder in more, then whips Hangman corner to corner.

The ref counts, Hobbs lets off to put Vance on the lower rope and choke him again! The ref counts again and Hobbs lets off. Hobbs grins as he gets Vance up to whip him to a corner. Vance dodges but runs into a kitchen sink knee! Hobbs grins again as he drags Vance up. Hobbs whips corner to corner as AEW goes picture in picture, and Hobbs adds a corner SPLASH!
Hobbs watches Vance flop and then taunts Hangman. Hobbs drags Vance up, suplexes him high and hard, then gets him down to tag Cage. Cage stomps Vance in the face! Vance sits up, fans rally and Vance throws hands! Vance ROCKS Cage, uppercuts, then runs! Hobbs trips Vance up this time and then drags him out to throw into railing!

Cage can’t believe that Vance survives but “This is Awesome!” as Hobbs tags back in. The Machine and the Powerhouse get Vance up, but Hook wants in? The ref stops him, because Starks is tossing Cage his FTW Championship! But Cage is don’t just like he did at Double or Nothing! Cage tosses the belt back, wanting to do this the right way!

Taz is furious but the Dark Order is here to celebrate! Remember to stay hydrated during the summer! But will this huge win mean huge things for both the #2 contender and Number 10?
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

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the AEW Champion of the World, M J F!” Orlando is a bit torn seeing The Scumbag make his way out to the ring. MJF gets his pyro rain and flicks his gum as he struts down the ramp, “Triple B” around his waist and his Dynamite Diamond Ring on his finger. He stands with Schiavone, and Schiavone says last week, MJF successfully defended the AEW World Championship against Bandido. MJF tells Schiavone to shut his “fat triple chin,” it is bad enough he has to look at the dumb shmucks in the crowd tonight. MJF hopes Schiavone can keep his geriatric hand up so the mic is at MJF’s mouth, okay?
The fans boo but MJF says, “Ladies and gentlemen, and I do use that term very loosely around these parts… You are looking at a man who wears beautiful watches, a man who wears custom suits, a man who wears diamond rings, Burberry shoes, Burberry scarves. I ride in helicopters, private jets, and limousines, and I’ve got the baddest girl you’ve ever seen. And do you know why, folks? it’s because I’m the best wrestler on God’s green earth. And if you don’t believe me, ladies and gentlemen, here is the proof: THE prize that every wrestler in this sport wishes they could obtain, Pretty Platinum, Triple B, the AEW World Championship.”
The fans are torn again, but MJF says, “Real gold, real diamonds, real platinum. This belt costs more than all of you miserable losers could possibly dream of having in your bank accounts. So if you ever see some shmuck on your TV screen in my sport claiming that they’re the best of the best and their name ain’t MJF, grab the remote and change the channel, cuz the only thing coming outta their mouth is the same thing coming outta their ass! I AM the World’s Champion! I hold the grandest prize of ’em all. I am professional wrestling, baby.
“And last week, Bandido was the first of many in a long line of losers to find out the hard way that 2026 is the Year of the Devil, and ain’t nobody on my level.” The fans boo as MJF holds up the belt with both hands to show it off, only for BRODY KING to appear! The fans cheer as the King of Death walks right down the ramp and to the ring, which has MJF very worried. Brody steps right to MJF, and Schiavone lets MJF have the mic for this. Brody gets his own mic while the fans cheer him on. MJF is a bit squirrely as Brody tells him he’ll be honest. After what MJF did to Bandido last week, the only thing Brody can think of is all the ways he wants to hurt MJF.
There is nothing that would bring Brody more joy than putting his fist through MJF’s chest and ripping out his spine! But, Brody won’t do that. MJF sighs in relief, but Brody says we all know MJF has no spine, he’s just a b*tch. The fans chant, “JUST A B*TCH!” Brody knows if he put his hands on MJF, he’ll never get what he wants. And what Brody wants is a match, so he can choke the life outta MJF, drop him on his head, and take the world championship, right here, right now, TONIGHT! Brody barks, the fans bark with him, and that’s quite the challenge! MJF says okay, he’ll just be over here if that’s cool.
MJF goes to a corner and says that is an interesting proposition. First of all, to think this over, if MJF could have complete silence from the morons for just a minute, that’d be great. The fans boo instead, but MJF says upon reflection, he thought long and hard and has to say no. And he’ll make it clear: It is not because MJF is afraid, that’s ridiculous! No, no, no. MJF gets it: Brody comes out here, barks, the morons bark back. The barking makes sense, because when MJF thinks about Brody King, the phrase that comes to mind is, “All bark, no bite.” Brody comes out here and challenges the world champion to a title match? “On what grounds, my big, burly friend?”
Who has Brody beaten? Oh, right, tomato cans, jabronies, and jobbers. If Brody wants the world champion, the greatest wrestler on earth, Brody has to beat elite talent. Until then, this match is not going to happen. The fans boo, but MJF says he wants to make one more thing clear: If Brody ever interrupts MJF ever again, they’ll have a prob- Brody steps up and MJF steps back. MJF says he has a lot on his plate, a busy schedule, a lot of competition to consider, so- Brody barks at MJF and MJF skitters to the apron. MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF’s outta here! The Scumbag is a rat, but he’s also a chicken. Will Brody take a bite out of AEW if it means he gets his hands on MJF?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page & #JetSpeed.
Renee Paquette is with the NEW AEW World Trios Champions, and says what a week they have had. The Cowboy promised to take everything from Samoa Joe, and now he, Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey are champions. In moments, we see Bailey VS Samoa Joe 1v1 while Knight faces Swerve Strickland. They are wasting no time tonight. Hangman says tonight is a night for celebration. If they’re the trios champions now, they should decide on a trios name. Knight says he’s been thinking on that. He came up with #JetSetRodeo. Bailey says “Horse C-” WHOA! Um, Hangman suggested something like that before, not gonna work.
But Knight & Bailey are in big matches tonight against former world champions. This Saturday on Collision, Hangman has his own against Katsuyori Shibata. Whoa, for real? Yeah, he just made it now. Bailey says he’s got Joe, and he knows Knight has a huge challenge ahead of him with Swerve. Bailey wants Knight to fully focus on that while Bailey does what he does best. Knight says will do. Hangman says he doesn’t have to say this, because they’ve been around the world several times, but Bailey’s never faced Joe 1v1. Joe is tough, sturdy, robust, and hits hard. But Bailey is fast, flexible, and if he can outlast Joe, he will beat Joe.
The team fist bumps and Bailey heads out. Knight asks Hangman for advice on how to face Swerve. Hangman takes a moment, and says that’ll be one hell of a main event. The Cowboy heads out, will The Jet be able to fly high over Swerve’s House? Or will he be brought down by the Most Dangerous Man in AEW?
Samoa Joe VS “Speedball” Mike Bailey!
As Hangman just said, the Samoan Submission Specialist is strong, sturdy, and sadistic, but Speedball is, well, fast and agile. Which style wins out to kick off Dynamite in Orlando?
The bell rings and the fans rally up for Speedball already. Joe bails out and the fans boo, but Bailey tells Joe to get in the ring. Joe brushes that off, and he soaks up some heat from Orlando as he walks around the way. Joe then steps back in the ring and circles with Bailey. They tie up, Joe powers Bailey to a corner, but the ref counts. Joe smothers Bailey before he JABS! And JABS! Joe HEADBUTTS Bailey to sit him down, then HEADBUTTS again! The ref reprimands, the fans rally, but Joe drags Bailey up to ROCK him with a forearm. Bailey fires back, but Joe HEADBUTTS Bailey down again. Joe whips, Bailey reverses, but Joe blocks!
Joe whips through but Bailey BOOTS Joe! Joe snarl while Bailey runs, and Bailey BOOTS Joe again! Bailey runs, Joe blocks this time, but Bailey wrenches through to KICK Joe’s leg! And KICK, and KICK! Then KICK Joe in the chest! Joe swings, Bailey dodges, and Bailey DROPKICKS! Joe tumbles out of the ring while the fans fire up. Bailey runs, but Joe blocks the baseball slide to drag Bailey out! Joe CHOPS Bailey down and the fans are losing their minds! Bailey coughs and sputters while Joe talks trash. Joe stands Bailey up, SMACKS him off a chair, then gets space. Bailey sits up, Joe runs back in, but Bailey DROPKICKS Joe down!
The fans fire up as Bailey goes into the ring and builds speed! Bailey baseball slides this time, then he ASAI MOONSAULTS! Down goes Joe and the fans fire up again! Bailey is feeling that energy, and he shoves Joe into the ring, but wait! Here come Hook & Shibata! The fans boo The Opps but the ref tells them to stay back. Bailey goes into the ring, Joe ELBOWS him away! Then BOOTS him outta the ring! And then Joe distracts the ref so Shibata & Hook can mug Bailey! They RAM Bailey into the apron, stomp him around, then put Bailey in the ring. The fans boo and protest the ref not doing his job, but Joe stomps Bailey while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Joe drags Bailey up, snapmares, and CHOPS him on the back! Then Joe KICKS Bailey in the chest! Joe runs to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Bailey toughs it out but Joe stays focused. Joe drags Bailey up, but Bailey fires body shots! Joe POSTS Bailey and lets him fall out of the ring. Again, Joe distracts so The Opps can mug Bailey! Shibata even kicks Bailey into the ring! Shibata & Hook play innocent while Joe looms over Bailey. Joe stomps Bailey, Mongolian Chops him, then Mongolian Chops again! Joe clamps on a shoulder claw and he grinds Bailey down. Bailey endures, fights to his feet, and breaks free to ELBOW Joe!
Bailey runs, but Joe ELBOWS Bailey down! Joe is all fired up while he soaks up heat. Joe covers, TWO!! Bailey survives and Joe is annoyed. Joe clamps onto Bailey with a chinlock, and even digs his knee into Bailey’s back. Bailey endures again, pries at the hold, and fights up to fire body shots. Joe CLAWS Bailey’s face!

Moxley then goes right to Don on commentary, as if waiting for his response to all this. Marina hands Moxley a mic, and Moxley says, “Hey. You just tell your boy, he knows where to find me.” Moxley leaves with the Death Riders, but which “boy” is Moxley speaking of? Or does it really matter when The Death Riders are ready, willing, and able to kick all of the family’s ass?

The Triangle of Madness speak.
Thekla tells Kris Statlander she’s giving out title shots to everybody! Mercedes Mone, Toni Storm, Jamie Hayter. All no problem, easy peasy cheesy. But when Thekla pins Kris once, Kris gets all angry and asks what Thekla wants to do about it. Well, Thekla wants to give Kris one more week to enjoy her life. One more week to prepare her friends and family, and one more week to pretend Thekla is intimidated by her alien a-hole routine. Then, next Wednesday in Austin, Thekal gets her title match. Is that okay, Big Stat Daddy? Then Skye Blue says the Triangle has room for more. Julia Hart tells Willow Nightingale that she is TBS Champion, but they never had their rematch.

Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron speak.
The Cosmic Babes of Wrath are backstage, and Kris doesn’t think Thekla gets it. Underneath this title is a lot less cosmic and a lot more killer. Her body is built for performance, her heart is built to fight, and her mind can get sicker than even Thekla can dream of. So if Thekla wants to drown Kris in toxicity, she’ll take Thekla down with her. But on Collision, if anyone wants an Eliminator, Kris will gladly show you what she means. Harley likes the sound of that! Willow says that for her, this TBS Championship has been about silencing doubt. Mercedes Mone knows that, and Julia Hart, Willow’s been waiting almost two YEARS to get in that ring, look you in the eyes, and do it again.
So Saturday, if Julia wants her rematch, Willow can’t wait to powerbomb her in the middle of that ring and show you why the light always exposes the dark, especially in the Sunshine State. Harley says she is so here for it! And she will also be there for it! And, well, she didn’t think on what else she was gonna say, but Skye Blue, don’t think they forgot about you and your little spooky self. If Skye interferes in any way, Harley will punch her right in the face! Who are they? BABES! What do they have? WRATH! And they have every title that you want. So let’s go have some fun. Talk about a Collision! Who survives when there’s gold, and a grudge, on the line?

And speaking of grudges, he wants revenge on the Walking Weapon what injured his best friend, Kota Ibushi! Will it be two birds with one stone here tonight?

Naturally, The Realest wants after the AEW World Championship, the same as Brody King, Samoa Joe, Hangman Page, and Kenny Omega. However, The Jet wants to prove he didn’t just get lucky in the Continental Classic with those wins over Darby Allin and Kazuchika Okada. Will Knight prove he is worthy of the crown? Or will he get lost in Swerve’s House?
MJF is pointed out in the skybox, bottle service standing at the ready, as he watches another of his potential challengers. The bell rings and the fans chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve and Knight circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Swerve finds a point of leverage, but Knight turns that around to put Swerve in the corner. The ref counts, the two move out of the corner but are still in the clinch. Swerve hits a fireman’s carry takeover, then he floats to a headlock. Knight moves around but ends up in a facelock. Swerve brings Knight up, then BROKEN ARROW! The fans cheer while Knight goes to a corner.
The fans rally again as the two circle. They tie up, Knight headlocks, but Swerve wrenches free to then bend the fingers. Swerve spins Knight, arm-drags, then waistlocks to O’Conner Roll. Knight pops free but Swerve headscissors, only for Knight to handspring through! The fans cheer the standoff, and Swerve smiles. Knight and Swerve reset, then Swerve shoots in for a leg. Knight up kicks, but Swerve jumps the dropdown. Knight hurdles. Swerve shoves him, but Knight arm-drags Swerve down for the armlock! The fans cheer while Knight flexes. Swerve headscissors, Knight kips free, and then Swerve runs up!
Knight holds the ropes down to DUMP Swerve out, but Swerve handsprings through to land safe on the outside! The fans cheer, but then Swerve avoids the dropkick! And the plancha! Knight just readjusts and PLANCHAS off the corner! The fans fire up with Knight and he high-fives the front row. Knight puts Swerve in the ring, goes up the corner, and CROSSBODIES! Knight bounces off the cover, but he hits a bit of the Griddy. The fans cheer and Knight goes for Swerve, but Swerve grabs the hand to bend fingers! Knight goes up the corner, the ref counts the break, but Swerve CHOPS Knight off the corner!
Knight tumbles to the apron, one hand holding onto the ropes for dear life! Knight lets go so he can walk away, but Swerve hurries after him. Swerve brings Knight to the steps, reels him in, but Knight BACKDROPS Swerve to the floor! Swerve writhes in front of commentary while Knight resets. Knight runs, goes up to the apron, and DROPKCKS Swerve down! The fans fire up while both men are down, but MJF gives a smug shrug and a raise of the glass. MJF sips his bubbly while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Swerve and Knight stir, but Knight stands first. Knight brings Swerve over to the ring but Swerve shove shim away. Swerve rolls into the ring on his own, but Knight springboards in. Swerve avoids Knight, Knight comes back, but Swerve fires body shots! Knight kicks, Swerve blocks and slips around, BACKBREAKER and DROPKICK! Knight tumbles out, Swerve goes to the apron, and Swerve BOOTS Knight down! Swerve then shakes out his arm while the ring count starts. Swerve has a drink of water, pours some on Knight, maybe a little for his fallen friend, Profit, then he follows Knight around the way.
Knight CHOPS Swerve, but Swerve CHOPS Knight down! Knight drags Swerve up, puts him in the ring, then stomps Knight down. Swerve digs his knee into Knight’s neck, the ref counts, and Swerve steps off. Swerve waits on Knight, soaks up the cheers, then stomps Knight again. Swerve pulls Knight back with a chinlock stretch, but Knight endures while the fans rally. Knight fights around, but Swerve stays between him and the ropes. Dynamite returns to single picture once again, and Knight fires body shots. Knight ROCKS Swerve, whips him, but Swerve reverses. Knight hits buckles hard, then Swerve scoops to torture rack, RACK DROP!
The fans rally up while Swerve watches Knight writhe. Swerve goes up the corner, eggs Knight on, and Knight sits up. FALLING UPPERCUT! Swerve hits the Griddy, then shoots a three pointer for UCF. The fans cheer, Swerve grabs a leg, but Knight fights the turnover. Swerve still pushes, then he KICKS and KICKS. Knight kicks in return, but Swerve turns Knight for more kicks! Knight kicks Swerve away, then fires a forearm. Swerve eggs Knight on, so Knight fires more shots! Swerve shoves Knight, Knight ROCKS Swerve! The fans cheer that, and even Swerve is impressed. Then he grabs Knight to wrench, but Knight suplexes first!
The fans fire up, MJF is mildly impressed, and both men rise up again. Knight fires hands, avoids a boot, and fires more shots! Swerve shoves Knight, Knight hurdles over the chop! Knight then ROCKS Swerve, whips him, but Swerve reverses. Knight goes up and over and around, LEAPING LARIAT! The fans fire up while both men are down! Swerve flounders to a corner, the fans rally for “JET! JET! JET!” Knight rises, he scoops Swerve, and he SLAMS Swerve down! Then the UFO- NO, Swerve moves! Then somersault FLATLINER on Knight! The fans fire up again, and Swerve aims from a corner.
“Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But Knight avoids the House Call! UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Swerve is still in this and the fans rally up. MJF looks more worried than anything, and Knight runs up. Swerve FLAPJACKS Knight, then runs and BOOTS him down! Swerve hoists Knight up, bumps him off buckles, then puts him up top. Swerve climbs, half nelsons, but Knight fights with elbows. Knight adjusts, then SUPER SUNSET FLIPS, only for Swerve to hold onto ropes! Swerve ROCKS Knight, but Knight comes back to flip and SUPER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB after all! Then a somersault and SATELLITE DDT! Cover, TWO!
The fans fire up as Swerve survives! MJF says wrap it up already! Swerve goes to the apron, Knight goes out after him, and they both stand. Knight fires as haymaker, Swerve fires back! Knight SUPERKICKS! Then SATELLITE- NO, Swerve stops the DDT to fireman’s carry! APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!! The fans fire up again and Swerve puts Knight in the ring. “This is Awesome!” as Swerve drags Knight out of the ring, and they go up onto the barriers! The fans are freaking out already for the STUFF PILEDRIVER on the barriers!! The fans go nuts again as they cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Swerve rolls into the ring to let the count handle this.
Knight sputters as the count is 5 of 10, but he still isn’t up. Knight rises at 7, stands at 8, and he hobbles his way over. Knight falls, but he leaps back in at 9.9! Swerve applauds with the fans, and then goes up top! 450 SPLASH!! Then the dragon sleeper!! Knight endures, fades, but gets a second wind! Knight fights up, fires some knees, but Swerve puts him in the corner. Swerve puts Knight up top, climbs up after him, and has him on the very top! The fans fire up as Knight fights back! Knight hops down, fans still chant “Please Be Careful!” as Swerve adjusts. Knight ROCKS Swerve, then goes up, to the UPPER ROOM!!
The fans are going nuts again as Knight hurries to another corner! He aims at Swerve, to go COAST2COAST!! Then Knight goes back up, for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Swerve survives by a literal foot and Knight cannot believe it! The fans are thunderous as this continues! “This is Awesome!” as Knight aims from a corner. Time to fly! HOUSE CALL!?! The fans go nuts as Knight then fireman’s carries, but Swerve fires a flurry! Knight still powers up to GUT- NO, Swerve lands out to SOBAT, HAYMAKER, and- ROLLING ELBOW from Knight! BOOT from Swerve! Knight and Swerve DOUBLE BOOT!
Then they both run, duck ‘n’ dodge, and LEAPING- HOUSE CALL!!! Swerve elevates, and he brings Knight up for a reverse Gory Especial!? VERTEBREAKER!! And that’s not all, half nelson for the BIG PRESSURE!! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
MJF is not pleased! Swerve and Knight made some magic here in Orlando, and while the former AEW World Champion proved he’s still in the picture, The Jet proved he’s not that far behind. Will The Scumbag have to worry about both of them as he looks to set a new record with this reign? Or will someone beat them to the punch?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here to follow Maximum Carnage and bridge the gap to what is shaping up to be a huge episode next week, too. Very good opening promo from MJF with Brody King to not only tease that possible title match, but to also establish MJF as a bit of a throughline given his other archenemies were in action tonight. Great promo from Hangman & JetSpeed, and of the suggested names, Jet Set Rodeo is great, especially since it references Jet Set Radio, and is just not Horse C*ck. It’s a silly gag but no, we need a name we can say in public. But also, a great character detail as Hangman gives Bailey tips on Samoa Joe, but Hangman holds back with Swerve. Hangman is trying to be cool with Swerve, so he doesn’t wanna sell Swerve out, but he hates Joe so he doesn’t give a damn.
Joe VS Bailey was great, even with the overbooking from the remaining Opps. That overbooking helped protect Bailey in his loss but still gave Joe the win he needed to stay in the title chase. Omega VS Alexander was great stuff, and Callis continues to be a hilarious Heel for how quickly he runs away from Omega. Great win for Omega, too, and he kinda left things open ended. Either there’s gonna be Omega VS Andrade, or Omega gives us dream matches with others as part of him building his record towards a title match. Though, Omega VS Andrade can oddly still happen as part of that, as Andrade is already building momentum for himself via Collision.
The Don Callis Family probably needs to focus on the Death Riders anyway. That Six Man Street Fight was awesome, mostly because it did not stay to just 3v3, as I knew it would (wouldn’t?). But how awesome that it also got fans to accept all of the Death Riders, not just Moxley, as a Face. Though, to be fair, this was the age old tactic of turning Heels into Faces by pitting them against even more hated Heels. Great win for Death Riders here, and Moxley was perhaps calling out Okada through that parting message. Okada lost to Moxley in the C2 finals, he surely will want that Continental Championship back, and Moxley is likely glad to give Okada a rematch where both men are 100%.
Awesome first showing from Price & Oliver against FTR, but it was really funny for Stokely to be clearly showing off how he’s spending that money people are kayfabe donating to him. That wheelchair was all tricked out, and commentary even mentioned new shoes. FTR wins, of course, and they’re going to have an awesome match with Davis & Doyle next week. I did not think they’d do the match so soon, but maybe they want things to be a big surprise when D&D win. But like, what’re the odds they win on TV? There’s also the TNT Championship match, and as I said last week, Clon’s win streak ending so early would be a little disappointing.
Great tag match from Love Bombs VS Megan & Penelope, but I had a feeling Marina would interfere to help Megan & Penelope win. Marina is only Tweener right now given this story, and maybe Love Bombs recruit a third for a Six Woman Tag to finally settle things. Great promos from Triangle of Madness and Cosmic Babes of Wrath. Kris’s open challenge will be a great match but an obvious win for Kris, while Willow VS Julia could go either way. The Triangle could cheat things so that Julia takes that title, but that feels like a shame for Willow’s second reign. But I mean, something’s gotta give when it comes to Willow’s double championship reign, so maybe the TBS title is the one that can be hot potato’d around.
And awesome main event from Swerve VS Knight. That was an instant classic, and Knight really did prove himself here. That was practically a title match in itself, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Knight goes for Okada’s International Championship given the win in the C2. But for now, Swerve still wins out because he also needs that momentum towards the world title. MJF already feels the walls closing in, maybe AEW puts together a big contender’s tournament at some point. Grand Slam: Australia is a good spot for at least crowning a contender, then that guy and MJF build towards Revolution.
My Score: 9.1/10
