The Young Bucks w/ The Elite VS PAC & Penta El Zero M!
Matt & Nick Jackson held onto the AEW World Tag Team Championships with some help from their friends, but there ain’t no rest for the wicked! Before tonight, the Bucks attacked Rey Fenix, trying to screw over Death Triangle in advance! Will the Bastard and Cero Miedo not only earn themselves a title shot, but avenge the fallen Firebird?
Before the match, Matt bestows his weird cozy headband to Michael “MT” Nakazawa, but then FRANKIE KAZARIAN attacks! The Heavy Metal Rebel continues his vow to destroy the Elite one man at a time, and he’s going after Nakazawa! The barriers topple over, the Good Brothers rush over but Kaz gets away! The Bucks are furious but the match is waiting! The Bucks go to the apron, Death Triangle BOOT them down! And then DOUBLE FLY! Fans fire up as Penta CHOPS Matt and Pac whips Nick into the stage wall!

Pac shoves Cutler away, and gets around Matt for a back suplex! But Matt lands on his feet, and Nick PENALTY KICKS Pac from the apron!
Nick runs and DECKS Penta off the corner while Matt soaks up the heat. Nick gets Pac up and holds him in place as Matt powers up. Matt builds speed, but slides out to go around the way, and he LARIATS Pac down! The fans boo as the Bucks are hamming it up. Matt goes back to the ring, Nick puts Pac in for him, and Cutler polishes Matt’s boots to keep them nice and shiny. But Matt turns around into Pac’s LARIAT! Nick gets in again to hit Penta down again! And then cartwheel MOONSAULT! Nick taunts Pac, shoulders in and slingshots, into a BOOT! But Matt SPEARS Pac down! Matt rains down fists, then fires up as he paces around.
Matt drops knees on Pac’s head, then paces around more. Matt mocks the fans for their chanting, then gets Pac up to bump him off buckles. Tag to Nick, the Bucks double whip Pac into the corner, but Pac dodges the corner splash! And then the next splash! And then he sidesteps Nick for a SNAP GERMAN! Nick is in a daze as he sits back up and fans fire up for Pac! Hot tag to Penta! Penta SLINGBLADES Matt! SLINGBLADE for Nick! Penta hits a CODE BREAKER SENTON COMBO on both Bucks!

Winners: The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Penta wants to point out a shoulder came up, but the Bucks attack him and Pac! Matt claws at Penta’s mask to rip it, and then the Bucks sit him up, but here comes EDDIE KINGSTON! Jon Moxley may be sidelined because of the BTE Trigger, but he isn’t about to let the Bucks do this to another friend! The Bucks and Cutler scurry away and Callis says Kingston is scary. The Bucks are right to fear the Mad King and Death Triangle, will each and every one of them get revenge on The Elite?
AEW returns and Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
We’re just two months away from AEW Rampage, Friday, August 13th! And as debuted at Double or Nothing, one of the analysts for that show will be the WORLD’S STRONGEST MAN, Mark Henry! Fans cheer as Henry makes his way out to the ring and shakes Schiavone’s hand as he gets a mic. He will be one of the commentators for Rampage, and he thanks Schiavone for this moment. Everyone knows Henry loves this business, and he isn’t here to “fix” AEW. “AEW is not broken.” What Henry is here to turn the screws. Then the question we all want to know is: Will Henry get back in the ring again?
Henry says that right now, he won’t say yes, but he’s got a lot left in the tank. But wait, is that Vickie Guerrero shrieking her way out here? It is! And she is telling Schiavone and Henry to move on out of HER ring. They’re not one to argue with a lady, while Vickie is here to introduce a man who has won championships around the world and is a third generation wrestler. Fans boo her shrieking but she says to welcome EL IDOLO!! Wait, what?! ANDRADE!??! IN AEW?!?! We know he is set to face Kenny Omega in AAA for THE AAA Mega Championship, but Andrade is now All Elite! Fans finally cheer, and Andrade says gracias to Vickie.
Andrade knows he used to say, “I am the face of Latinos,” but today, he is saying, “I will be the new face of ALL! ELITE! WRESTLING!” Fans like the sound of that! Andrade shows off his suit, and Vickie tells the fans to cheer. They don’t need to be told, they cheer El Idolo’s arrival and departure. Will Andrade look to take gold from Kenny Omega and just about anyone else in AEW?
Cody Rhodes & Lee Johnson w/ Arn Anderson VS QT Marshall & Anthony Ogogo w/ Aaron Solow!
The American Nightmare was the American Dream for Double or Nothing, and he defended his homeland with honor. But that doesn’t mean the war between Nightmare Family and QT’s Factory is over! Will Big Shotty help Cody beat The Gifted and Ogogo on this big fight Friday night? Or will being alongside The Factory’s leader tip the scales back in the Olympic boxer’s favor?
The teams sort out, Johnson starts with QT and QT pie faces right away. Johnson ROCKS QT, wrenches, YANKS the arm, and tags in Cody. Cody CLUBS the arm, wrenches and hits a wristlock. Tag to Johnson, they double whip QT and Cody drops so Johnson can dropkick QT! Cover, TWO! Johnson wrenches but QT throws him down by his hair! Tag to Ogogo, Ogogo doesn’t want Johnson, he wants Cody! Johnson gets up and Cody tags in. Fans fire up as they get to see Double or Nothing again. Cody and Ogogo circle, but Cody sees QT creeping in so Cody KNEES QT down! But Ogogo gets Cody for an OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Cody staggers up, Ogogo throws hands and EuroUppers, then QT tags in.
QT and Ogogo mug Cody but Cody fights free! Cody hooks QT’s arm for a modified DDT! Fans rally, Cody tags Johnson! Big Shotty rallies on QT, swings and uppercuts, then a NECKBREAKER! Johnson kips up and fires up and runs at QT, but QT throws him out! Johnson has the ropes, skins the cat and he headscissors QT out! Johnson finishes skinning, but QT avoids the plancha! Johnson avoids a clothesline but not Ogogo’s BOOT! Arn coaches Johnson but QT puts him in. QT drags Johnson up as fans rally, and QT CHOPS Johnson in the corner. Ogogo tags in and he stomps Johnson’s ribs as AEW goes picture in picture.
Ogogo bumps Johnson off buckles and stomps a mudhole into him! Ogogo digs his boots in, but lets off as the ref counts. Ogogo gets Johnson back up, throws uppercuts then back elbows. Ogogo chokes Johnson with a forearm in his neck, then ROCKS him as the ref counts. The ref reprimands, Ogogo just shrugs it off and goes back to Johnson. Ogogo whips Johnson corner to corner and runs in to clothesline! Ogogo keeps going, BASEMENT UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO! Ogogo keeps Johnson from Cody, bumps him off buckles, and tags in QT. QT gets Johnson up but Johnson throws hands! QT kicks low, reels Johnson in and hits a BIG suplex! Cover, TWO!
Cody and Arn rally for Johnson, but QT gets Johnson up and brings him around to knee Johnson’s leg! QT stomps Johnson, keeps between him and Cody, and Johnson grabs at ropes. Johnson gets up to ENZIGURI QT! QT stays standing, catches Johnson’s leap for a SWINGING BACKBREAKER to COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, TWO! QT’s lethal combination didn’t finish this but he keeps on Johnson with a neck wrench. Johnson endures, fights up, throws body shots, but QT CLUBS him on the back. QT whips Johnson to ropes, but Johnson flapjack dropkicks him away! AEW returns to single picture as the fans fire up for Big Shotty!
Johnson crawls to the corner, hot tag to Cody! Cody sees QT on the outside and fires off hands! Cody THROWS QT into the ring! QT gets up, Cody hits a clothesline! And a suplex TOSS! QT flounders to a corner but Cody is right on him for a rain of fists! Cody gets all 10, hops down and goes corner to corner, to monkey flip! QT flounders around again, Cody kicks and hits the Rhodes Uppercut! But QT dodges the clothesline to back suplex. Cody lands on his feet and DISASTER KICKS Ogogo! Cody dodges QT for the SPINNING POWERSLAM! Fans are thunderous as Cody has QT all alone! Cody gets a leg, steps through, and has the FIGURE FOUR!
QT endures as Cody puts as much leverage as he can. But Ogogo throws Johnson into railing! And then gets in to FROG SPLASH onto Cody!! Ogogo risks his own ribs but he saves QT! QT gets up and stalks Cody, to reel him in for a DIAMOND CUTTER!! Cover, TWO?!?! And Johnson adds on with a SWANTON BOMB!! All three men are down but Ogogo returns! Johnson dodges, but Ogogo comes back to clothesline both Johnson and himself out! Cody and QT rise slowly, and they throw haymakers! Cody ROCKS QT but Aaron Solow distracts! Cody gets QT with the dragon sleeper, but Ogogo gets in with a KO PUNCH!! QT covers, The Factory wins!
Winners: The Factory, by pinfall
Solow celebrates with his team as Arn comes in to check on Cody. Ogogo’s the man with stone fists, and that shot to Cody’s jaw was definitely a lethal shot! QT gets a mic to say, “I shocked the world! I told you all I could do it!” Schiavone is speechless because he was never a believer in QT! QT shocked the world and now they’re stuck up there with stupid looks on their faces! But Nightmare Family VS The Factory isn’t done tonight! Will Nick Comoroto whoop Dustin Rhodes to complete a sweep on Dynamite? Or can the Natural avenge his brother to close out the show?
The Inner Circle heads to the ring!
Chris Jericho, Santana, Ortiz, Sammy Guevara and Jake Hager are back and still together after their emphatic victory over The Pinnacle! The fans sing Judas for them as they get mics, and Jericho revels in it. “Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you the 2021 Stadium Stampede Le Champeooons~, THE INNER CIRCLE!” And because they dig the fans so much, thank you so much for the support, everyone live in the audience is getting an Inner Circle Stadium Stampede shirt for free! Just look under your chairs! And this isn’t a prank, either! It’s real, and that’s a lot of shirts!
And now, Jericho introduces us to the reason why the Inner Circle is still together, it’s the hero of Stadium Stampede 2, SAMMY GUEVARA! Fans cheer Sammy on and he says, “I’m on such a high right now.” What a moment Double or Nothing was, ending with 630 onto “that idiot,” Shawn Spears. Sammy used to do the 630 off his mom’s roof in the backyard. He used to do that and mom would tell him, “Sam, get off the roof!” And he’d go, “Okay,” and then just do the 630 anyway. But to go from backyard to the main event of Double of Nothing to close the show, and keep his brothers together, that is a night he’ll never forget. Sammy thanks them all and says he loves them all.
The Inner Circle hug, and then Santana says that’s right about that was the greatest moment in their lives and careers. Like they discussed backstage, what did they do other than keep the crew together? They’ve still gotta pass by The Pinnacle in the hall. They’ve still gotta listen to The Pinnacle’s boasting and bragging about money and suits and limos. So the real accomplishment would be having them in a ditch somewhere on the I-95. But that’s just Santana being Santana. To keep it real, FTR tried to end their careers with those table piledrivers. FTR tried to take food out their families’ mouths. That doesn’t sit right with Santana. So know this: the Inner Circle VS Pinnacle war is FAR FROM OVER!
Jake Hager says, “They LIED to us! They double-crossed us! They tried to end us! Now, they don’t get to say when this is over.” The Pinnacle’s got no choice but to man up and take this ass whooping again, and again, and again, until The Inner Circle says they’re done. Got that, Wardlow? Hager’s pulling Wardlow’s man card first! Wardlow beat Hager once in an AEW ring, but now Hager wants Wardlow to step into an arena he’s never been beaten in: an MMA OCTAGON!! Fans like the sound of that! Hager wants it in two weeks, right here on Dynamite! Man up, Wardlow!
Jericho says the group’s making great points. This war is not over. When he thinks of Shawn Spears, it pisses Jericho off. When he thinks of Wardlow and that powerbomb through the stage that put Jericho out for a month, it pisses him off. But most of all, when he thinks of “that mealy mouthed, pretentious, self-righteous little PRICK, MJF, it pisses me off!!” Sammy feels the same. There’s unfinished business there, too. But the difference here is that MJF tried to end Jericho’s career, and even his life, when he shoved him off Blood & Guts’ cage. Jericho hasn’t been the same since, and he thinks about it every single day.
Jericho wakes up in a cold sweat about how close it was to the end for him. And Jericho realizes, he has to settle the score! So Jericho knows the Inner Circle embarrassed The Pinnacle with a Bubbly bath, but that wasn’t enough. Jericho knows he beat and humiliated MJF in the upper deck, but that wasn’t enough. Jericho says that until he can ruin MJF’s career and life the way he tried to do to Jericho, this will never be over, do you understand him!?
MJF calls Jericho The GOAT, the Greatest of All Time. Jericho isn’t sure if he believes that about himself, but he does believe this: “When I think of MJF saying what he said, if I’m as good as he thinks I am, if I’m good as I need to be to continue to build AEW into the greatest company in the world today…! WHICH IT IS! I must, I will, I need, and I am going to beat MJF! I’ll say it again! I’m going to beat MJF!” This isn’t over, and that’s because the Inner Circle never forgives and sure has hell NEVER F’N FORGETS!! The Painmaker is fired up, and he has his boys backing him up! The Summer of Violence and Pain is just beginning, who will be standing come the Fall?
AEW hears from Best Friends.
Chuck Taylor isn’t sure why they’re doing this. Does he have to hold our hands to walk us through it? Does he have to insult our intelligence? If you saw Double or Nothing, you saw what happened. Kenny Omega is supposed to be the best in the world? Trent would like to point out that the “sunglasses comedy guy” had him beat twice in that match. Don Callis, why are you even here? You are a useless conman, and Cassidy should be champion. But bad guys cheat and win. Cassidy says, “If you think this is over, it’s not.” When and where will Freshly Squeezed get his fair shake against the Cleaner?
Kenny Omega and Don Callis do video package editing.
Kenny likes those frames. Maybe if there was some filters, it’d make the colors pop. Get the shots of the ref out of there. But this is good here. Alex Marvez apologizes for interrupting but Best Friends are accusing them of cheating Cassidy out of the win. Callis feels like Marvez is the one accusing them of something. Maybe we should move on from this “false narrative,” this “Dark Side of AEW” to the con job (as opposed to screw job) to take the AEW title off Omega. We should talk about the thing they’re working on here. They have the raw footage, and are going to blow the lid off this conspiracy next Friday on Dynamite! They’ll reveal the anti-Omega conspiracy going on around here!
Omega says Nakazawa is on the job, this is hot off the presses. Marvez points out that Omega still has to face Jungle Boy for the AEW World Championship in three weeks, who overcame 20 other competitors and won the Casino Battle Royale. Wow, 20? How many were in the top 5 rankings? Probably none. But there’s a big difference between being a Jungle Boy and a jungle man, and then an even bigger difference than a jungle man and a jungle champion. But the people love him, love to cheer for him. Heck, even Omega loves JB and that music. He can hear it now! Omega sings the Tarzan Boy “OooOOOoOO~,” and Callis joins in. Shouldn’t we go to see Jungle Boy? Yes, JB and Christian Cage are up next!
Christian Cage & Jungle Boy VS Private Party w/ Matt Hardy!
Captain Charisma was a finalist in the Casino Battle Royale, but as we know, Jungle Boy shocked him and us by winning! But they both have some beef to settle with the Hardy Family Office and are going to do it side by side! Will Christian and JB be able to outwork Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy? Or will Big Money Matt being ringside be a big factor?
The teams sort out, Christian starts with Kassidy and they circle. They tie up, Christian waistlocks then drags Kassidy down to get an arm. Christian tags JB and he climbs to drop ax handles on Kassidy’s arm. JB wrenches the arm, YANKS it, has a wristlock, and tags Christian. Christian takes the arm to hotshot it! Christian gets in to wrench the arm but Kassidy gets free to tag Quen. Quen says he’s got this, but he turns around into Christian’s FLAPJACK! Tag to JB, he and Christian double whip and double hip toss! Cover, ONE! JB facelocks but Quen JAWBREAKERS! Tag to Kassidy and he climbs up to drop ax handles on JB’s arm.
Kassidy wrenches, tags Quen back in, and Quen climbs up to shout out Hardy, but leaps into a kick! JB goes up and over Quen to wrench and CHOP Kassidy! JB knuckle locks with Quen, KICKS his leg, then goes up the ropes for a Arabian DOUBLE ARM-DRAG! Private Party ends up outside and fans fire up! Hardy talks trash to JB but JB sees Private Party regroup. JB runs and slides but the HFO disperses! JB elbows Kassidy, goes up to GAMANGIRI Quen down, then climbs. Kassidy anchors a foot but JB pushes him away. JB leaps but Quen dropkicks him out of the air! Cover, TWO! Quen keeps on JB with knees to the back, then drags him up to tag in Kassidy.
Private Party stomp mudholes into JB, then Quen whips Kassidy in. JB tosses Kassidy out, dodges Quen and slides under. Kassidy slingshots but JB dodges the senton! JB shoulders into Quen, slingshots up and over and dodges Kassidy, hot tag to Christian! Christian rallies on Kassidy, Kassidy reverses the whip but Christian CLOBBERS him! Hardy is furious as Christian stands on Kassidy at the ropes! Christian lets off to slingshot and UPPERCUT! Christian gets back in, goes up and hits a FLYING UPPERCUT! Christian waits for Kassidy to stand, but Kassidy kicks low! Kassidy RAMS Christian into the HFO corner but Christian fights out with heavy hands!
Christian has Kassidy in the corner, climbs up and rains down fists! Hardy distracts, Quen HOTSHOTS Christian from the top! JB protests but the ref missed it as Kassidy looms over Christian and AEW goes picture in picture.
Kassidy digs his knee into Christian’s neck and chest, the ref counts and Kassidy lets off at 4. Kassidy gets Christian up to put in the HFO corner and choke him! The ref counts, Kassidy lets off at 4 and Quen gets his cheap shots in. JB protests, but Private Party mug Christian against ropes! The ref counts, Quen stomps choking Christian, but then Kassidy talks trash right to Christian’s face. Quen drags Christian up and in, JB and fans rally but Quen chokes Christian on ropes again! The ref counts, Quen lets off but Kassidy chokes Christian right behind her back! Tag to Kassidy, and he still chokes Christian!
The ref reprimands and counts and Kassidy lets off, to then run and springboard hotshot! Cover, TWO! The HFO is annoyed but Kassidy keeps between Christian and JB. Kassidy wraps on a facelock and grinds Christian back towards the corner. Christian keeps fighting, but Quen gets a foot to drag him back! Kassidy gets Christian up, throws body shots and backs Kassidy down, to then roll him for a cradle! TWO, and Kassidy throat chops Christian down! The ref reprimands but Kassidy sucker punches JB! Kassidy soaks up the heat as AEW returns to single picture, and he stands on Christian’s leg. Tag to Quen and Private Party combine for the wheelbarrow SPLASH!
Quen and Kassidy strike a five second pose! They mock the E&C Connection then stomp Christian down. Quen stands on Christian, stomps him, then tags Kassidy. Private Party gets Christian up and coordinate in a corner, but Christian throws body shots! Kassidy DECKS Christian, then hotshots JB just as he gets back up! Kassidy tags Quen, they drag Christian up, but fans rally as they puppet him for the five second pose. But he grabs them for DOUBLE REVERSE DDT’S! Hardy is furious with his team as Christian reaches for JB! Quen grabs a leg, Christian BOOTS him away, hot tag to Jungle Boy! JB rallies on Quen, then on Kassidy!
JB forearms and CHOPS Quen in a corner, whips him corner to corner but Quen runs in, into an elbow! ROLLING ELBOW! UPPERCUT! JB whips but Quen reverses, only to get the REBOUND LARIAT! Fans fire up for JB and he drags Quen up. SNAP BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Quen survives but JB keeps cool as he WRECKS Kassidy with a dropkick! JB aims from the apron, shoulders into Quen and steps in for a TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Quen lives but JB has him in the SNARE TRAP!!

JB holds off Gin ‘n’ Juice and Christian SPEARS Kassidy down! JB gets Quen around for a SNARE TRAP!! Quen taps, JB and Christian win!!
Winners: Christian Cage & Jungle Boy, by submission
The third-ranked tag team in AEW is no longer undefeated in 2021! And as for Jungle Boy, he’s another step closer to the world title! Will he be as red hot as the summer itself once he finally faces Kenny Omega?
But Hardy still gets Christian for a TWIST OF FATE to the ramp! The leech is a chicken and he runs away! Will Christian make Big Money Matt pay for this in due time?
Team Taz speaks.
“Hangman Page, this past Sunday at Double or Nothing, you got lucky, brother.” Hangman got lucky against Brian Cage and the team. But that’s fine, because while Hangman got one over The Machine, The Machine already has one over on Hangman. Next week, Hangman will pick a partner from The Dark Order to deal with BOTH the Powerhouse and the Machine in a 2v2 tag match! And it’ll be bad news, Taz guarantees it! Go ahead and scout these guys on Elevation, because Cage and Hobbs will tear through two poor sons o’ bitches. Hangman, you will learn that you screwed around with the wrong club. Who will Hangman have backing him up for next week’s third Friday Night Dynamite in a row?
Schiavone is back in the ring.
One of the most memorable moments at Double or Nothing was seeing this man in the ring for the first time in over six years, helping his team to victory. Schiavone introduces Darby Allin and… STIIIIIING~! The Relentless and the Icon are here again after winning a traditional tag team match with Ethan Page & Scorpio Sky, and Schiavone congratulates them both. That was a sensational night, and everyone was glad to be part of it. Sting takes the mic to say that he has had so many incredible experiences in wrestling. But last Sunday, Double or Nothing, right here in Daily’s Place, will be a night that he never, ever, ever forgets! That stands up to anything he’s ever done in this business!
Fans chant, “You Still Got It!” for Sting and Darby nods agreement. Sting thanks them for that, and appreciates them all. But someone is sarcastically clapping on the titantron. It’s Scorpio Sky, with Ethan Page by his side. Scorpio mockingly says congratulations are in order. “Sting, you were remarkable on Sunday, you really were.” Now we know why he is The Icon. He even smelled good! But what matters is that he was so good that he could even drag Darby Allin over the finish line. Literally! Because when Ethan threw Darby so hard he landed in the front row, if it wasn’t for Sting dragging him over the railing, Darby’d still be down out there.
And furthermore, Ethan wants Darby to know Sting has been carrying Darby through his AEW career! Ethan knows Darby stands for fighting and spirit, but all Ethan sees is a “spineless, codependent BITCH.” So it goes like this: find anyone other than Sting, and prove them wrong! All Ego & The Face of the Revolution have put forth a challenge, and Darby is speechless! Who will the Relentless One turn to in order to settle things with Scorpio & Ethan?
AEW returns, with a celebration prepared!
Schiavone is still in the ring, with Vickie Guerrero, Nyla Rose, Chaos Project, The Hybrid2, Diamante and the entire Pretty Picture standing together by a table that has one, something hidden under a red felt cloth, and two, a platter STACKED with burgers. Schiavone says that it was quite the night at Double or Nothing for many, but none bigger, perhaps, than the crowning of a NEW AEW Women’s World Champion! Welcome both Rebel, and The Doctor, BRITT BAKER, DMD! Britt and Rebel make their way out to the ring, the newly redesigned title around Britt’s waist, and Rebel showing off Britt’s new merchandise shirts.
Ryan Nemeth and Rebel help Britt with the ropes, Britt is handed the mic and says, “Wow! Thank you, everybody, form the bottom of my heart for attending my championship celebration. This means the world to me.” And from what she understands, the fans all got freebies tonight. She never thought she could one-up Chris Jericho, but… LA Champion outdid herself because she was gifted 1500 BURGER COUPONS. So get in on the fun, get that coupon! Show ’em off! Uh, are you sure they’re there? Oh, wait, sorry. They’re all still right here, with Britt, where they belong! BRITT did the work, SHE #OutWorkedEveryone, and everyone else was just along for the ride.
You can’t deny that when Britt is on TV, your eyes are glued to her. She promised a whole new era, and damn was she right! Did you know what letters she saw all over the place on Sunday? DMD! And what letters did she hear deafening chants for? DMD! And do you know what three letters will elevate this company to a whole new stratosphere? DMD! The AEW Women’s World Champion! Fans are divided but Britt says she’s going to invite two people worthy enough to come along for the ride. Schiavone, get yourself a burger. Rebel, you, too. Yes, with your hands, Schiavone! Burger cheers!
But Nyla SLAPS the cheeseburgers right out of their hands! And then throws some to the crowd! Well, they won’t hold up flying through the air, but the thought is what counts. Nyla flips Britt off and storms out. The Native Beast even pops the balloons! Will Nyla be feasting on a title opportunity instead?
Alex Marvez interviews Eddie Kingston.
The Mad King saved Penta and Pac, but then Penta and Pac storm in and asks what the hell! “Let it be known, we don’t want your help! We don’t need your help! So keep your nose out of our business, ya understand?!” Kingston wants The Bastard and his former best friend to understand, because he’ll keep it simple: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let that marinate in your brains for a little bit.” Is that Kingston’s way of asking for an alliance against The Elite? Will Death Triangle accept the offer?
Red Velvet w/ Big Swole & KiLynn King VS The Bunny w/ The Hardy Family Office!
With a new women’s champion comes new opportunities to be a contender! But will Velvet serve up an L as she stirs it up? Or will Allie drag her down the rabbit hole and frolic her way to the title?
The second Velvet gets in the ring, Bunny attacks! Velvet is ready, though, and she drop toeholds her to ropes! Velvet runs as the bell rings and DOUBLE KNEES Bunny down! Then STANDING MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Bunny bails out and regroups with Blade, but Velvet builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit but risky for Velvet! Velvet shakes it off and fires up to get Bunny back in the ring. Velvet drags Bunny to a cover, TWO! Bunny sputters to a corner but Velvet runs in for boxing body shots! The ref counts, Velvet lets off to stomp a mudhole into Bunny! Velvet stirs it up as she digs her boot in and does the splits! The ref counts again, Velvet taunts Blade as she lets off then drags Bunny.
Velvet has Bunny in a drop zone, then she climbs up, but Bunny mule kicks a leg out! Velvet is stuck up top, Bunny SUPERKICKS her to the floor! Blade laughs at Velvet and says that’s what she gets! Bunny skips around, laughs like a hyena, then goes out to fetch Velvet. Bunny stomps Velvet, drags her up, and puts her in. Fans chant “Stir It Up!’ as Bunny stalks Velvet and drags her up. Bunny bumps Velvet off buckles, stomps a mudhole into her now, then runs corner to corner for a SLIDING FOREARM! Bunny growls then laughs then covers, ONE!! Velvet is still in this as AEW goes picture in picture!
Bunny stomps Velvet, Blade talks trash with Swole and King, but Velvet hits Bunny back! Bunny knees low, TOSSES Velvet by her hair, and then soaks up the heat. Bunny gets in Velvet’s face but Velvet hits back! Bunny KICKS Velvet in the side! And CLAWS Velvet’s back! The ref reprimands, Bunny drags Velvet up and CHOPS her! And CHOPS her! And whips her, but Velvet ducks, dodges and sunset flips! TWO, and Velvet gets up, only for Bunny to CLOBBER her! Bunny laughs again, covers, TWO! Bunny is back to being frustrated as Velvet survives. Bunny stomps Velvet more, and more, and AEW goes to break.
AEW returns Velvet rallies on Allie with forearms! And a calf kick! Velvet fires up with the fans as Bunny flounders to a corner. Velvet runs in to SHINING WIZARD! And RUNNING STUNNER! Cover, TWO!! Velvet is beside herself but Swole and King coach her up. Velvet gets Bunny up but Bunny ROCKS Velvet and fireman’s carries. Velvet fights out, KICKS and KICKS, then runs, into a SUPERKICK!! Both women flounder, Blade slips Bunny something but Velvet’s friends protest! They’re only helping Bunny get away with this! Bunny aims at Velvet, but misses the brass knuckle punch! Mule kick to JUST DESSERTS! Cover, Velvet wins!!
Winner: Red Velvet, by pinfall
Incredible! Velvet beats Bunny and is surely moving up the rankings! Will Velvet prove herself a contender? Will Britt Baker have to watch her back, and her teeth, for this one?
The Dark Order speaks.
It’s John Silver’s birthday! And #JohnnyHungy! But not just for cake, he’s hungy for gold! He and Tony Khan talked, and while Tony wanted to give Silver another TNT Championship opportunity, Silver’s still not medically cleared. So Silver said to give the shot to Evil Uno! Really!? These opportunities don’t come often so Uno vows to make them proud! The Dark Order is fired up, but can Player One really beat The Best Man? Speaking of…
Miro speaks.
THE AEW TNT Champion starts by thanking God for blessing him with physical power. And then a special shout out to his super hot wife. And then Miro brings up what we just learned: Evil Uno is his next challenger? Pfft. That makes no sense. Miro is bigger, faster, and undefeated. Uno comes from an emotional place, but maybe he’ll be too emotionally involved with something that doesn’t belong to him, and that will only get him hurt. Miro has no feelings. He will use this as a teachable moment for the rest of the AEW roster: You don’t come after someone like Miro when you just think you may win. You come after Miro when you know… you can survive! Will Uno simply be the first to fall to the Bulgarian Barbarian?
AEW is set for yet another Friday Night Dynamite!
Not only will there be the TNT Championship match, but there will be a Trios Match of The Young Bucks & Brandon Cutler VS Eddie Kingston & Death Triangle! Will the uneasy alliance work out against The Elite? And Team Taz’s challenge has been accepted by Hangman and NUMBER 10, Preston Vance! Will the Dark Order’s behemoth be enough to help the Anxious Millennial Cowboy to stop Cage AND Hobbs?
Bullrope Match: Dustin Rhodes VS Nick Comoroto w/ Aaron Solow!
An AEW first is between a man who dominates this match type, and the Freak Beast of the Factory! They call him the Natural, but will Dustin be able to defy physical limitations against a man who is bigger, stronger and hairier? Or will Comoroto be a wrecking ball that secures the sweep?
AEW returns once more as Comoroto makes his entrance. Dustin meets him at the ramp and the brawl is on! Dustin gets the edge, bumps Comoroto of buckles, but Comoroto doesn’t even flinch! Dustin throws hands but Comoroto knees low! Comoroto gorilla presses then TOSSES Dustin into the ring! The ref hurries to stop this because the rope is the important part of the match! Comoroto lets his hand be strapped in, fans rally up for Dustin, and the bell rings! Comoroto reels Dustin in but Dustin uses that to throw hands! Comoroto shoves, Dustin dodges and trips Comoroto up with the rope, to then YOINK into the Freak Beast’s wrecking balls!
Dustin gets the cowbell and takes aim, but Comoroto dumps him to the apron! Comoroto hotshots Dustin, then chokes him with the strap! Dustin CLOCKS Comoroto with the cowbell! Dustin gets back in, runs and leaps, but into Comrmoto’s arms! Comoroto pops Dustin up, but Dustin slips off and untangles himself to clothesline Comoroto and himself out! Dustin is up first but Comoroto throws hands. Dustin hits Comoroto in the ribs with the cowbell! Comoroto staggers, Dustin hits him again! And ROCKS him with a haymaker! Comoroto shoves Dustin, Dustin runs back in but Comoroto tosses him up and over railing! Dustin lands nicely in a front row seat, and chokes Comoroto with ropes!
Comoroto elbows free, ROCKS Dustin, and Dustin sits back down. Comoroto hops the rail to get Dustin up for haymakers. Comoroto pushes the wrestlers ringside around to clear space, but Fuego Del Sol fights back! Comoroto just TOSSES Fuego into everyone else!! Dustin DECKS Comoroto, and hops back over the railing. Dustin checks on Fuego, he and the others are alright, so Dustin goes looking under the ring. Solow goes after Dustin since there’s no disqualifications, but Dustin fights him off to hit a SPINNING POWERSLAM! Dustin glares at Solow, but Comoroto reels him in for a SPEAR! Fans boo but Comoroto, bloody forehead and all, just roars!
Comoroto paces while Dustin sits up. Comoroto stomps Dustin, drags him up, and bumps him off railing! Fans cheer Dustin on but Comoroto paces. Comoroto drags Dustin up, puts him in the ring, but Dustin bails out the other side. Dustin has the rope around the post and he YANKS Comoroto into steel! And then headlocks, only for Comoroto to pick up and SLAM Dustin into the apron! Comoroto gets in the ring as AEW goes picture in picture.
Comoroto has a crimson mask as he drags Dustin up and into the ring with the rope! Cover, TWO!! Dustin survives but Comoroto paces around as he seethes. Comoroto drags Dustin up, but Dustin throws body shots! Comoroto whips Dustin, and JAMS him with the cowbell! Dustin drops in a heap and Comoroto paces around, still bleeding all over himself. Comoroto HAMMERS Dustin with the cowbell, chokes him with the rope, but Dustin refuses to give up. Comoroto drops ax handles, covers, TWO! Dustin gets up and to a corner, kicks back, and kicks again. Comoroto throws hands, whips corner to corner, and Dustin hits hard!
Comoroto paces, looms over Dustin, and CLOBS him with the cowbell! And then drops elbows! Dustin fires up and fans fire up with him! Dustin ROCKS Comoroto with haymakers, but Comoroto whips. Dustin holds ropes then dumps Comoroto out to the apron. Dustin CHOKES Comoroto now! AEW returns to single picture as Dustin CLUBS away on Comoroto! Solow hurries to help by getting a TABLE! Dustin and Comoroto brawl on the apron, Solow sets that table up nearby, and Comoroto elbows Dustin. Dustin runs but into a scoop! Comoroto aims but Dustin slips off! Dustin has the rope and CLOBBERS Comoroto with it all!
Dustin goes out and fires up as he runs on the apron. Comoroto dodges the kick, gets Dustin off the apron, and POWERBOMBS him through the table!! Solow is fired up and fans lose their minds as Comoroto gets Dustin up and into the ring! Cover, TWO?!?! Dustin survives and no one can believe it! Dustin fires himself up as Comoroto does the same. Solow undoes a buckle pad! But COLTEN GUNN goes after Solow! The Factory’s Ogogo put his brother, Austin, on the shelf for who knows how long, so Colten’s going to get back at someone! Dustin kicks Comoroto, hits the Rhodes Uppercut, then runs to BULLDOG! And then the FINAL RECKONING on the cowbell! Cover, ONE?!?!?
Comoroto roars, he is definitely a Freak Beast! Dustin aims, but Comoroto blocks the cowbell attack! So Dustin LOW BLOWS! Dustin runs to LARIAT, but Comoroto stays up! Dustin tries again, Comoroto is still up! Dustin tries again but Comoroto BOOTS him! Comoroto runs in, but Dustin FLAPJACKS him onto the bare buckle! And then another COWBELL SHOT!! Dustin goes up top, FLYING BULLDOG!! Hogtie cover, Dustin wins!!
Winner: Dustin Rhodes, by pinfall
The Natural managed to defeat one hell of a monster, but the war of Nightmare Family and Factory is just getting hotter! Dustin celebrates with fans, will he and the rest of his team be celebrating more victories over QT and his cohorts?
My Thoughts:
Another awesome AEW, but it seems like June is going to have Dynamite on every night other than Wednesday. Another Friday next week, then Saturday on the 26th to close out the month. I suppose the 16th might be the only Wednesday, but even that could change and put it on Thursday or something. And unless I misheard it at Double or Nothing, did they move Omega VS Jungle Boy? I suppose it works out, JB can get a ton of momentum going into Saturday Night Dynamite, even though Omega is surely retaining. JB & Christian VS Private Party was great stuff, but while JB wins it, I should’ve known Hardy would get the last word on Christian. Those two could have a great match together as Christian clearly moves away from Team Taz while Ricky Starks is still hurt.
Speaking of which, Team Taz of course wants to continue things against Hangman Page, and I like that they’re incorporating The Dark Order into it. Vance is a great choice since he matches up in size, but I have a feeling Vance takes the loss for the team. Hangman VS Cage tiebreaker is coming, and again, I hope the FTW Championship is on the line. Miro VS Uno will be good but probably not a very long match. Miro is going to hold that belt for a long time, I’m sure of it. Depending on who is where and doing what, I don’t see Miro losing until at least Revolution 2022, where either Archer wins on third time’s the charm, or Darby makes a heroic return for this title.
Opening with the Bucks VS Death Triangle was great, and it was a great detail for Frankie Kazarian to get after The Elite again. Turns out, Kaz attacked the wrong crony since it was Cutler who helped the Bucks screw over Pac & Penta. But it was great for Eddie Kingston to show up. With Moxley taking time off for family, and Fenix taken out for story drama, it makes sense for Kingston to make an alliance with Penta and Pac. Their Six Man with Bucks & Cutler will be great stuff, but between cheating and dysfunction, Kingston, Pac & Penta will lose. But again, “enemy of my enemy is my friend” should apply to Kaz, he can join in and we’ll get a huge match of The Elite VS Elite’s enemies.
Cody & Johnson VS QT & Ogogo was really good, but of course this was for the Factory to get back on the board. There is still a lot of pacing stuff that has been weird with this. QT’s bragging promo really should’ve been after The Factory helped him cheat to win a 1v1 match with Cody. And that would’ve still come after a match like we got in tonight’s main event. Dustin VS Comoroto was a very fast but a really good bullrope match. If this was earlier in the night as a main event, had more time to breathe, it would’ve been even better because of the drama and the tension being dragged out so it could sink it. Dustin wins, of course, and I still think we need Dustin VS QT in a grudge match. We should’ve gotten that and QT VS Johnson long before QT VS Cody, but Cody’s gotta get the spotlight.
Mark Henry had a good promo, though it did get cut short by Vickie. But wow, Andrade “El Idolo” Almas in AEW! I hope they find a way to tie in the scheduled AAA Mega Championship match between Andrade and Omega in August as it draws closer. If AEW is going to do crossovers with other companies, now’s the time to make it more than just guest appearances. Omega himself should get into a story where he’s torn between all the companies he’s a champion in. While Omega VS Moose for the Impact World Championship is next week and Omega VS JB for the AEW World Championship is the 26th, there could be even more going on in August with All Out, Omega VS Andrade and whatever Impact will have by then. Omega might be cocky now but I hope he “feels the stress” before the end.
The Inner Circle had a POWERFUL promo tonight, and them giving away those shirts was awesome, both kayfabe and shoot. And given that the series is tied 1-1 in big faction matches, I like that things are breaking off into the separate feuds. Which is oddly backwards, but it’ll definitely help fill out Dynamites and other specials. I’m most interested in Hager VS Wardlow in an AEW take on MMA. Velvet VS Bunny was very good, and it’s great for Velvet to win to stay in the top 5. Like I said for Dark and Elevation earlier in the week, if AEW made “on the bubble” matches matter a bit more, it’d add some drama to matches like this one. I guess they just expect us to feel it, but not everyone is going to keep up with the rankings on their own.
Britt Baker’s celebration went almost how I hoped. Nyla being present to start was interesting, but I like that she comes off the comparative Face simply by throwing burgers and popping balloons. More of the top 5, like Thunder Rosa, Tay Conti and now Leyla Hirsch, showing up would’ve been a nice touch, too, but Nyla doing this to step up clearly sets up a Fyter Fest title match for her and Britt. As I’ve also said for Dark and Elevation, Britt should defend against everyone but Rosa until she just can’t deny Rosa any longer, and we get a huge match for them at whatever PPV AEW wants it to be.
My Score: 9.2/10

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!
But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?

As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?

Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?
Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.
They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!
And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.
But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!
The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-
Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.
Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

Julia Hart speaks.
“Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. I’m no coward. What you call tricks, I call advantages. I suggested that you watch your back. I gave you all the warnings. So I’m not understanding why you feel the need to call me classless and sneaky. I thought I was being more than reasonable. I know you’re strong, but are you smart? Are my ‘tricks’ too much for you? I guess we’ll find out January 1st, Fight for the Fallen. But remember: The House Always Wins.” The Princess of the Black Throne is ready, but will she learn Hayter Hits Hard?

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?
Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!
The teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.
Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs even gets Konosuke to back down with a glare. Hobbs brings Cage up to fire forearms, then he tags Davis. Davis & Hobbs double whip and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up as Davis stalks Cage to a corner. Davis CHOPS Cage, and CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! Cage sputters but Davis scoops to SLAM Cage down! Then ELBOW DROP! Cover, ONE! Cage stays in this but Davis bumps him off buckles.
Tag to Hobbs and he brings Cage out. Hobbs and Davis reel Cage in, fans chant “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! MEAT MEAT MEAT!” but Konosuke makes the save!

Cage rains down fists, the ref reprimands, but Cage steps off. Cage drags Hobbs up, bumps him off buckles, and tags Konosuke. The Callis Family stomps a mudhole into Hobbs, but then Hobbs CHOPS Konosuke! Konosuke snarls, and he CHOPS in return!

Davis survives and Konosuke snarls, but Rampage goes picture in picture.
Konosuke rains down fists on Davis, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Konosuke tags Cage and Cage drags Davis up. Cage ROCKS Davis, whips him into a corner, and Davis hits buckles chest first! Cage RAMS into Davis, and RAMS in again, then CHOPS! Davis staggers but Cage whips him to ropes. Davis reverses, to dosido with Cage, only for Cage to CLOBBER Davis! Cage BOOTS Davis down, covers, but Hobbs breaks it! Cage gets mad and the ref reprimands Hobbs, then Cage soaks up heat from DC. Cage stalks Davis to a corner and fires haymakers! The ref reprimands but Cage DECKS Davis! Cage soaks up more heat while he flexes.
Holiday Bash returns to single picture while Davis crawls. Cage storms over but Davis fires hands! Davis CHOPS, CHOPS, but Cage JUMP KNEES! Cage whips Davis, Davis cartwheels and swings on Cage! Cage blocks, waistlocks, but Davis switches! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Davis rises and reaches out! Davis crawls, as does Cage, hot tags to Hobbs and Konosuke!

The straps come down, and Hobbs runs up, only for Konosuke to dodge!
Konosuke runs, Cage tags in, and Konosuke BOOTS Hobbs in the corner! Cage runs up to UPPERCUT, GAMANGIRI, and then GERMAN SUPLEX! Hobbs flounders, Cage hauls him up, PUMP HANDLE FACEBUSTER!!

The Alpha slam dunks on Dunkzilla, and now he has 8 days to prepare for the Powerhouse! Will Konosuke hold onto his International Championship against Hobbs? Or will taking that title be the perfect payback?
Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!
The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?
The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles.

Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!
Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?
Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again.

Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)
If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10
