The Five Labors of Jericho, Chapter 1: Chris Jericho VS Shawn Spears w/ Tully Blanchard!
Maxwell Jacob Friedman again gave a list of demands, and this time, it was truly Herculean! The Demo God must survive every epic challenge put before him if he wants to get his hands on the pompous puppet master! But when The Chair Man is allowed to use chairs and Jericho isn’t, will this be a sadistically short story?
But speaking of, MJF makes his way out after Spears so that he can join commentary and watch every second of this with his own eyes. Fans tell MJF, “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” and MJF tells them to shut up. The bell rings, MJF welcomes us to the Labours of Jericho, not to be confused with Jericho in labor, although his physique does look like a pregnant woman.

Spears bails out, fans chant “JERICHO! JERICHO!” and Jericho drags Spears up to the apron. Jericho clubs Spears, Spears grabs at a leg but Jericho kicks him down. Fans fire up with Jericho as he aims at Spears and DECKS him off the apron! Spears gets another chair from under the ring while Jericho gives thumbs up to the fans. Jericho triangle jumps but Spears throws the chair in his face!! Down goes Jericho and fans boo Spears but MJF compliments “The Canadian God.” Spears rains down fists, grabs the bad arm and stomps it down! Spears looms over Jericho, fans rally up, and Jericho CHOPS back! And throws forearms! And hits an ENZIGURI!
Fans rally but MJF says Jericho does cheap shot after cheap shot. Jericho climbs, Spears goes up, SUPER ARM-DRAG! MJF is fired up as Spears covers, TWO!

MJF demands to cut the music and the celebration short! “Mazel tov, Chris, congratulations. You’ve passed labor number one. Although, you needed the help from your glorified young boy, Sammy ‘The Simp’ Guevara.” MJF tells the fans to shut up with the booing but they just boo harder. But MJF makes it clear that if he has anyone else come out and help him through any more, the deal is off! But since Jericho loves to break the rules so much, then why have any rules at all?
Labour Number 2 will be No Disqualifications. And it’ll be against a man who doesn’t mind breaking more rules. The most sadistic and criminal human being to ever step inside a squared circle, who once stabbed his opponent in the jugular, and once robbed a bank with no mask on! Jericho’s next opponent will be… NICK FREAKIN’ GAGE!! The deathmatch specialist has come to AEW, and has a pizza cutter with him?! Is Gage going to cut Jericho to pieces in just chapter two?!
Miro speaks.
“There have been many champions before me. But there will be no after. Because everybody is going to get to talk to the Redeemer, and I will forgive them all. For the homecoming of Dynamite in Jacksonville Florida, God’s Favorite Champion will fight. Tell me, who can beat me? This is the word of the Redeemer.” But who will it be meeting Miro back in Daily’s Place to be baptized by fire?
Frankie Kazarian VS Luke Gallows w/ Karl Anderson!

Winner: Luke Gallows, by pinfall
It was basically a handicap match at the end, and that’s why Kaz lost! But now the Good Brothers beat up Kaz to send a message! They get Kaz up, for the MAGIC KILLER! And now Kenny Omega makes his way out! He and Don Callis, too. Callis says it’s time for all of us to see our AEW World Champion! And all these Texans better take a good look. This is what happens when you mess with The Elite! Callis and Omega join them in the ring as Gallows keeps Kaz down. This is what happens when you mess with The Elite, with the Good Brothers, and Kenny Goddamn Omega! Does Omega want anything to say?
Omega gets the mic and says, “Welcome to my humble abode, said the spider to the fly.” For months, Kaz has been a thorn in their side. The Elite Hunter? Hah! How the tables have turned, because the Elite Hunter has become the… How does it go? Callis helps Omega get through it: The Elite Hunter has become the Elite Hunted. Callis says this is just a sample of what The Elite will do to Hangman Page next week. Speaking off, here comes Hangman! Texas is fired up for the #CowboySh*t that is about to go down! Hangman gets in the ring and Callis says whoa now. Listen, Callis wants Hangman to look and see he is outnumbered 4v1!
Callis knows Hangman can count to four, and cowboys aren’t bright. Is Hangman just that stupid? Or is he just that drunk? Hangman makes Callis hold his drink, and then he fires off hands! The Good Brothers knock Hangman down! But here comes The Dark Order! Stu Grayson leads the charge as they chase off Omega and Callis and then take the fight to the Good Brothers! Anderson is stuck, he gets a ROLLING ELBOW from Reynolds, a dropkick from Silver, and a STUNNER from Reynolds! BUCK SHOT from Hangman!! This fight is coming at Fight for the Fallen, will Hangman & The Dark Order wrangle their championship opportunities in North Carolina?
Backstage interview with Brian Cage.
Earlier, Team Taz announced this via social media: Taz himself said “History was made last week on Dynamite. We crowned a brand new FTW Champion in Absolute Ricky Starks. I’m so proud of you, man.” Starks thanks Taz for that and asks the fans hold their applause. He just wants to cordially invite everyone in Charlotte, NC next week as they’re putting together one of the BIGGEST celebrations you will ever see ever. And being from New Orleans, Starks knows somethin’ about partying. So he guaran-damn-tees that the NEW FTW Champion is going to show up and show out in Absolute fashion.
Cage’s response to this? Are they still here? Nope. Well, next week, a celebration for the new champion. Cage says that works out. He loves parties. Will the Machine make sure he has a very special gift for Starks and all of Team Taz?
Darby Allin w/ Sting VS Wheeler Yuta w/ Orange Cassidy!
The Relentless One is living up to that name, because after winning last week’s Coffin Match, and still crashing through the coffin just because he could, Darby is back in action tonight! But will the Decoder do his mentors proud by taking down one of the brightest stars in AEW?
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, break and reset. Fans are fired up for Darby as he wrenches, shifts to a hammerlock, but Yuta spins. Darby spins with him to keep the hammerlock on! Yuta spins again but still Darby goes through. Darby then snapmares, trips, covers, ONE as Yuta goes Matrix! But Darby is ready and he drags Yuta down with a ghost pin! TWO, and Darby is after the arm. Yuta shoves Darby away and Darby hits buckles ribs first! Cameras point out that Bullet Club’s Hikuleo is watching this very closely. Yuta runs in but Darby dropkicks him down! Darby gets an arm, stomps it, and then drags Yuta up with a facelock.
Yuta blocks the suplex, throws a body shot, then mule kicks! Yuta hurries to get Darby up to suplex and he hangs Darby out to dry! Darby flops off the ropes, Yuta covers, TWO! Yuta keeps on Darby in a corner, throws more body shots, but Darby turns it around to CHOP and CHOP and CHOP! Darby whips, Yuta reverses and runs in but into boots! Darby goes up, Yuta trips him up! Yuta wrenches, hooks Darby up and has an IRON OCTOPUS! Darby endures as an elbow digs into his ribs! Darby waddles over to the ropebreak with his face! The ref counts, Yuta lets off, but he waistlocks.
Darby fights it off and Yuta rewinds as he skins the cat, to get around and GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Yuta hurries to a corner, goes up top, but Darby trips him up! Darby climbs, gets Yuta up, and SUPERPLEXES! Both men are down from that impact and fans are fired up. Cassidy and Sting each coach their protégé, but they look at each other. Fans fire up just for that stare down, and Cassidy puts his hands in his pockets! Sting gives Cassidy Sloth Style shin kick!? The audacity! But then Cassidy gives it back!? It’s a kick fight outside the ring! Cassidy powers up, but Sting blocks Sweet Shin Music with a kick of his own!
Sting gives a Sloth Style beating of the chest, and then Darby shouts at them, “What’s going on?” But Wheeler rolls Darby up!! TWO!! Wheeler hurries to hook Darby up, GHOST PIN, TWO!! Darby escapes his own pin type, but Wheeler keeps going! Darby slips out of the double chicken wing cradle, gets around, THROWBACK STUNNER! Fans fire up as Darby goes up, for the COFFIN DROP!! Cover, Darby wins!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall
Through the pain in his ribs, and the odd distraction at ringside, the Relentless is victorious! Will Darby take a moment to finally rest up and get back to 100%? Or will he keep rolling on, despite the bad ribs?
Cassidy checks on Yuta, but gets jumped by The Blade!! The Hardy Family Office’s merciless mercenary wants after Cassidy already! Wait, he just used the brass knuckles on Cassidy! Did he just make sure his match with Cassidy doesn’t happen tonight?!
AEW looks back to the Moxley VS Archer Texas Deathmatch in NJPW.
Jon Moxley speaks first, “What do you do when something’s outside your house at night? Do you huddle the people you love in the basement? It comes back a second time, what do you do? Do you board the doors shut? It comes back a third time, do you just grab a shotgun, go outside and take care of business?” Archer says “Aw hell yeah, it’s part two of the Texas Deathmatch, right here in my hometown, my backyard.” Archer’s been waiting a year and a half for this one. A year and half to get back HIS IWGP United States Championship! Moxley has always had respect for Archer, but the stakes have been raised too high. Moxley vows to get Archer before Archer gets him.
Archer vows to break Moxley, put him down and make it so he never gets up. The stars at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas, but Moxley’s about to see stars when he gets knocked out. Moxley will make Archer feel alone in his hometown. Tonight, Texas Deathmatch II, and one way or another, it’s over.
AEW Women’s World Championship: Britt Baker w/ Rebel VS Nyla Rose w/ Vickie Guerrero!
The Doctor finally put her money where her mouth is when she got this title off the Full Metal Warrior, Hikaru Shida. But there’s been a back and forth between her and the Native Beast, both in the ring and on the mic. Now Britt will have to put up or shut up yet again, can she keep hold of the gold against a hangry Nyla?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Britt’s first defense is also her last!
Fans are cheering for everyone other than Nyla and Vickie, right to Paul Turner the ref. Britt and Nyla tie up, Britt whips but Nyla runs her over. Nyla just grins as fans boo, and the two circle again. Britt runs in but into a waistlock! She fights off the suplex as fans cheer, “DMD! DMD!” Britt arm-drags Nyla down, drops knee after knee on the arm, then rolls to hammerlock the arm. Nyla endures as Britt sits on the hold and pulls harder.

Nyla storms over but Britt shoulders into her. Nyla staggers, runs in at the corner, but into a BUCKLE SHOT! Fans fire up as AEW goes picture in picture.

Nyla swipes at Rebel as she gets too close, but Britt gets in to drag Nyla up. Britt wraps the bad arm around ropes to pull, the ref counts, but Britt kicks the bad arm as she lets off.

Winner: Britt Baker, by submission (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
The Doctor is not a one and done! She gets it done, and she is still the face of the AEW Women’s Division! Will this mean big things next month for AEW in #Brittsburgh?
AEW holds a press conference for the coming tag team grudge match.
Tony Schiavone presides as moderator for the sit-down between the Inner Circle’s Santana & Ortiz, and the Pinnacle’s FTR. Tully Blanchard is with Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood, but Konnan is not here with Proud ‘n’ Powerful. Fight for the Fallen next week, 7/28/21, in Charlotte, North Carolina, we will see this go down. Schiavone gives the floor to FTR.
Dax starts by revisiting how these two teams come from two different parts of the United States, but that they ain’t that different. All four men came from poverty, and Dax has respect for PNP as wrestlers. But as men, there’s not an ounce. Schiavone gives Santana & Ortiz a chance to respond. Ortiz says while FTR were “playing pattycake elsewhere,” PNP have been in AEW since day one. FTR attacked PNP’s family! Now they’re just a pitstop on the road to the tag titles. Santana gets up and says enough of this “pro-wrestling” stuff. He has a picture of his mother, 15 years old after having him. Another picture: Mom’s first apartment, “a sh*thole in the Bronx!”
A third picture, in the newspaper: his mom took the fight with the slumlords to court, just so they and others could have a decent place to live. Dax interrupts and says there are only three things he really cares about in this world: God, his family, and pro-wrestling. The only thing left to do in Charlotte is to show up and have FTR beat PNP’s ass! The two teams rush each other at the podium but security keeps this from going down here! That’s because it will go down in just 7 days! Will either team be walking away from this powder keg in the ring?
AEW returns and Schiavone is in the ring.
Back live in the one and only great state Texas, but he brings up how his guest has called out Death Triangle and promised something big on the horizon. He’s already made a name for himself worldwide and is here in AEW, it is Andrade El Idolo! Andrade makes his way out, his butler behind him. Schiavone welcomes Andrade to Dallas, and Andrade says to tranquilo. This interview starts with Andrade El Idolo’s surprise! The butler shows Schiavone his tablet, and Schiavone is rather shocked! Schiavone says, “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the new executive consultant to Andrade El Idolo… CHAVO GUERRERO!
WHAT!? Chavito is back in wrestling!? The link to Vickie Guerrero runs deep as Chavo is here in AEW! Chavo and Andrade hug it out and Chavo gets the mic. “Wow! You remember! Well of course you remember, because this is Dallas, Texas, baby!” So Chavo hears AEW is the place to be. When Chavo went backstage, he couldn’t believe all the talent back there. What a great time to be a wrestling fan! But with all due respect to everyone backstage, “I don’t see anybody that has as much talent as this man right here,” Andrade El Idolo! But wait! Death Triangle appears! Fans go nuts as PAC, Penta El Zero M, with Alex Abrahantes, AND Rey Fenix are here together again!
Pac gets the mic and is seething. “OI OI OI OI OI!! Mister Andrade! I don’t know who you think you are.” Last week, they heard their name come out of his mouth. “So ladies and gentlemen, for the record, let it be known that Death Triangle hides from no one.” Andrade says thanks for coming! Yes, really, he means it. But… Fenix, Penta. You guys are good. But with Andrade, you could be great! Look, listen! The fans are chanting “CERO! MIEDO!” as Andrade says, if they joined him and Chavo, La Raza, amigos, they could build an empire! Why are they with little Pac? Look at Andrade, the elite superstar! The watch, the suit, etc.
Chavo takes the mic to say that while the luchadors understand Spanish, Pac only knows English so here’s the explanation. This isn’t a dig, it’s just that this is how it goes. They’re all talented, no question. But when Chavo and Andrade look at Death Triangle’s waists… There’s no shine! There should be! So if they want to change that, start listening to Andrade. Andrade gets the mic back to ask Penta and Fenix to ask a question. “Why do you work for Pac?” Now they can work for Andrade El Idolo! Pac says he isn’t sure what planet Andrade’s on. But the Lucha Bros don’t work for Pac. Death Triangle is a team! A family! A brotherhood!
Fenix speaks up in Spanish to make sure Andrade understands, they are together as familia! And y’know what? They are the REAL faces of Latinos! Penta says his part, and Alex translates: “Penta says…! Why would we want to join a group with you, when you’re not even on our level?” Death Triangle rushes the ring and Andrade wants them all to tranquilo. Everyone can work for Andrade! Even Pac. Look, there’s Chavo, his butler. Refs hurry out to keep this from turning into a fight, and Andrade’s growing corporation slips away before Death Triangle can get loose. Will Death Triangle make it their business to humble El Idolo?
AEW shares what went down just before going on air.
The Hardy Family Office’s Angelico and Private Party came out to tell the fans why Big Money Matt wasn’t going to be in Dallas tonight, but Marko Stunt interjected. Fun Size didn’t liking how they were treating Jora Johl as a lackey and then rushed the ring! Stunt got beat up for it, but then Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus rushed out to help him! But then Christian Cage showed up to even the odds! The HFO bailed out, but now we hear from Captain Charisma!
“Four of you to take out little Marko Stunt? Y’know, after last week, after I beat Matt Hardy in the middle of that ring, I thought that’d be the end of it. Finally, the end between you and I, Matt. But I guess not.” So here’s a suggestion: Fight for the Fallen, Christian, JB & Luchasaurus VS Angelico & Private Party, and the HFO is done for good! Will Captain Charisma lead the charge in shutting down Big Money Matt’s pro-wrestling Ponzi scheme?
Backstage interview with The Factory.
Alex Marvez brings up QT Marshall pouring Aaron Solow’s protein shake on Schiavone’s head. Solow has another drink this week, so Marvez is wary, but he does ask if QT feels he should apologize. QT says Marvez shouldn’t be so nervous. Marvez didn’t disrespect The Factory like Schiavone did. They won’t pour anything on Marvez’s head. But yes, QT does feel an apology is in order. Next week in the ring, Schiavone can meet QT in the ring, and Schiavone will get an apology. With that, Marvez sends it back to ringside. Will QT really admit he was in the wrong?
Orange Cassidy VS The Blade w/ The Bunny!
After that ambush, Freshly Squeezed is feeling freshly bruised! But he’s not one to back down from a fight, will he find a way to keep from being beaten to a pulp again?
The music hits, but Cassidy doesn’t come out from the tunnel. Blade and Bunny wait, but they think this should be a win by forfeit at this rate. Wait, Cassidy slips in from the crowd! Fans fire up as Cassidy throws off the jacket, the glasses, and puts on the armband. Cassidy taps Blade on the shoulder, Blade turns around, and Cassidy takes him down! The bell rings as Cassidy fires off hands! Blade shoves him away but Cassidy comes back! Blade ducks the Orange Punch and fans fire up for “FRESHLY SQUEEZED!” Cassidy chases Blade back into the ring but Blade stomps him down! Blade gets Cassidy in a corner, the ref counts, and Blade lets off at 4.
Cassidy sits up and dodges Blade as he runs in, to trip him up and rain down rights! Blade shoves Cassidy away, things speed up, and Blade hurdles then drops. Cassidy comes back but Blade flounders! Blade says his leg is bothering him, and he does have a knee brace from previous injuries. The ref checks, Bunny does, too, but Cassidy isn’t sure if he trusts this. Bunny checks the leg for Blade, but Blade was faking after all! SHOTGUN BOOT! Fans boo as Blade shoves off with squats! Blade gets Cassidy up, suplexes, STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE! Cassidy gets Blade back for playing possum, and Cassidy goes up top!
Fans rally up but Blade CHOPS Cassidy at the corner! Blade throws hands, Cassidy blocks but Blade trips him up! Blade climbs, gut wrenches, and SUPER GUT WRENCH BOMBS Cassidy to the corner! Cassidy tumbles to the floor and writhes as AEW goes picture in picture.
Blade stalks Cassidy, drags him up, and whips him hard into railing! Cassidy writhes more, Bunny laughs at his pain right in his face, but the ref backs her off. Blade gets Cassidy up, and whips him back into more railing! Blade refreshes the ring count, has the camera get in tight as he brings Cassidy up again, to whip into a POST! Cassidy flies off, Blade gets a chair and stands on it to soak up the heat. The ref checks on Cassidy but he gets up. Blade puts Cassidy in the ring, kicks him around, then whips him to a corner hard! Cassidy bounces off buckles, writhes on the mat, but gets to ropes. Blade gets him up to CHOP him to a corner!
Blade whips Cassidy corner to corner hard again, and Cassidy again bounces off buckles. Blade tells fans to hush as he paces around. Blade then stands on Cassidy’s head at the ropes, and the ref counts. Blade lets off at 4, drags Cassidy up again and CHOPS him in a corner. AEW returns to single picture as Blade CHOPS Cassidy again! Blade gets Cassidy up, whips him corner to corner, and Cassidy tumbles up and out. Cassidy sees Blade coming and bumps him off buckles! And again! And then off another corner’s buckle! Cassidy climbs, fans fire up, and Cassidy CROSSBODIES! Cassidy keeps moving, tilt-o-whirl DDT! Cover, TWO!
Bunny gets on the apron to argue with the ref, but KRIS STATLANDER appears and trips her up! Statlander and Bunny argue, Blade gets out of the ring but Cassidy builds speed! Blade uses Statlander as a shield as Cassidy DIVES! The Galaxy’s Greatest Alien takes the hit! Cassidy realizes what happened, but Bunny turns him around to shout at him. Blade swings on Cassidy but Cassidy ducks it! Cassidy waistlocks and shoves Blade into Bunny! Now things are even! Cassidy then gets Blade up, but the back holds him back! Blade CLUBS Cassidy, gets him in the ring, but Cassidy rolls under, around, and tilt-o-whirls again!
But Blade blocks it and grins as he suplexes to hang Cassidy out to dry! Blade runs and LARIATS Cassidy inside out! Gut wrench for a JUMPING TOMBSTONE! Cover, TWO?!! HOW?! Blade is furious but the fans are thunderous! Blade gets Cassidy up, gut wrench, but Cassidy fights the bomb to Alabama lift! But again the back gives up! Blade KICKS Cassidy in the face, Cassidy wobbles, but he still hits BEACH BREAK!? Cover, TWO?!?!? Blade barely survives, and now Bunny is shrieking as she’s on the apron! Statlander grabs at her just as she throws the brass knuckles to Blade! The knuckles go too far, and Blade has to flounder after them!
Blade gets the knuckles on his fist, Cassidy turns around, but Cassidy ducks to ORANGE- NO! Blade ducks, winds up, but Cassidy ORANGE PUNCHES first! What a quick refill! Cover, Cassidy wins!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
Bunny is furious but Cassidy doesn’t even want his hand raised? Cassidy has the brass knuckles, puts them on, and BRASS ORANGE PUNCHES Blade down!! And then he puts those in his pocket! Has Orange Cassidy made it clear to the HFO to make their money at someone else’s expense?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Alex Marvez asks about the unbelievable news of the No Disqualification match with Nick Gage. Jericho faces away from the camera as he says, “If MJF is going to bring in the most demented and violent man in the business today to face Chris Jericho, then next week, I’m going to bring in the most violent and demented version of Chris Jericho to face Nick Gage.” That’s why next Wednesday, Fight for the Fallen, in a No Rules Match, it’s Nick Gage VS… THE PAINMAKER!! Jericho has used this persona to defeat some of the best in NJPW, will he simply add another to the list?

IWGP United States Championship Texas Deathmatch: Jon Moxley VS Lance Archer w/ Jake the Snake Roberts!
The Maniac and the Murderhawk Monster went wild in NJPW, but that was only the beginning. They’ve battled once before in AEW for AEW’s World Championship, but that might look like a warm-up compared to this one! And when this can only end in submission or knockout, just how far will both men go to end the other?
Moxley makes his entrance from the crowd as he loves to do, but Archer comes out from the tunnel with kendo sticks and pyro! The introductions are made, and Moxley hits Archer at the ropes! The ref rings the bell and this one fires off already! Moxley headlocks and punches but Archer hits back. Moxley headbutts, heads out of the ring and fetches those kendo sticks, and he SMACKS Archer on the back, then SMACKS him on the leg! And SMACK to the back again! Archer choke grips Mox but Mox breaks free to throw a forearm! Archer hits back and it’s a forearm brawl! Fans fire up as they go faster and faster, then Archer ROCKS Moxley!
Moxley HEADBUTTS Archer, runs, but into a DERAILER! Archer hurries after Moxley outside the ring, and CANNONBALLS off the apron! Fans are fired up as the ref keeps up with them, and Archer SMACKS Mox with a kendo stick! And SMACKS him again! The kendo stick breaks so Archer drops that. Archer runs in but Moxley sends him into railing! And then Moxley TACKLES Archer and knocks him through the railing! Fans are fired up for “A E DUB!” as they start fighting up towards the bleachers! Moxley throws hands, Archer ROCKS Mox! Mox sits on railing, Archer shoves him over! They go further up, Archer throws more forearms but Moxley hits back!
They brawl, Moxley gets the edge and sends Archer down towards ringside. Archer shakes out the cobwebs but Moxley LEAPS to KNEE Archer towards railing! Archer grabs a fan in a Hybrid2 hoodie!? And he THROWS him at Moxley! Fans go nuts as Archer drags Moxley back to ringside! Archer stalks Moxley, runs in but Moxley dodges to clothesline Archer out! Moxley runs, and DIVES into a forearm! Jake the Snake was smacking the ring steps, that must’ve been to warn Archer. Speaking of those steps, Archer gets those, moves them around, and pulls up ring mats on the floor! Archer drags Moxley over to this bare patch, scoops him, but Moxley slips off!
Moxley kicks low, DDT to the bare floor!! Moxley leaves Archer behind as the standing count begins! Much like a Last Man Standing, if Archer can’t get up before 10, he loses! Fans are thunderous as the count climbs, we’re at 5 of 10, but Jake the Snake walks over to disrupt the ref a little. Archer gets up, Jake coaches him on, and Archer gets up at 8! Archer is busted open, though, but Moxley has a FORK!? Is he Abdullah? Moxley GOES AFTER THE WOUND WITH THE FORK!!! Fans tell Moxley, “YOU SICK F***! YOU SICK F***!” Moxley just takes a bow as AEW goes picture in picture.
Archer is in a daze, Moxley sits him up to DIG the fork into the bloody wound!! Moxley lets off so Archer can bleed! Moxley gets the fans fired up as he wipes the blood off on his pants. Archer manages to sit up but Moxley gets a table! Moxley sets the table up as Archer slowly drags himself up with the ropes. Moxley then gets a second table! Moxley has both tables by the ring, Archer has a crimson mask that matches his red braids, but Moxley gets chairs! Moxley puts them in the ring, with a trash can lid on the side, and then the can itself. Archer crawls for these weapons but Moxley hurries in. Archer body shots then ROCKS Moxley over and over and over!
BUT MOXLEY HAS THE FORK!! He jabs Archer over and over with it!! Archer shoves Moxley away then KNEES him down! Archer gets Moxley up, scoops, but Moxley slips off to chop block a leg! Moxley kicks the leg, puts the trash can in the corner then grabs a chair. Moxley JAMS Archer’s leg with the chair, then gets the bad leg for a DRAGON SCREW! Moxley takes the chair, puts Archer’s leg through it, and hops up the corner! AEW returns to single picture as Moxley gets the fans fired up again, and he JUMPS to STOMP the chair!! Archer’s leg gets the nutcracker treatment and fans rally and duel as the standing count begins.
Archer is down at 5 of 10, but he refuses to give up so he fights his way up at 7 of 10 again. Moxley has the trash can lid, but Archer PUNCHES it into Moxley’s head! Both men are down and fans are loving this as the standing count is on both men. Archer and Moxley stir, “This is Awesome!” and Moxley eggs Archer on. Moxley throws hands, Archer swings but misses. Moxley hits again, Archer swings and connects. It isn’t very strong given the blood loss. Moxley JABS Archer, and JABS, and talks trash to JAB. “You ain’t s*it, Lance!” And then Moxley BITES THE WOUND!! Moxley is savage, but he runs into LARIAT!
Archer rallies on Moxley, reels him in, ripcord but Moxley dodges to waistlock and GERMAN SUPLEX! Archer is right back up!? BOOT! Archer gets Moxley up and ripcords, for the HELLACOASTER!! If only he could cover! The count climbs, Archer is up at 4 and Moxley is up at 6, to get a TRASH CAN SMASH! Archer throws the can up the ramp, sits a chair up and then gets the other. Moxley staggers to a corner, Archer sits the chairs together, face-to-face. Archer puts Moxley up top, inverted crucifix, but Moxley slips out to LOW BLOW! All legal in a Texas Deathmatch but it isn’t very sporting. Moxley sees Archer’s chairs and turns them around!
Moxley slashes his throat but Archer choke grips! CHOKE SLAM on the chair edge!! Moxley writhes and fans are electric! Moxley gets to a corner as the standing count hits 5 of 10! Moxley drags himself up at 8, and fans are fired up as Archer BOOTS him down! Archer roars, runs corner to corner, but into a LARIAT! Moxley hurries to hit PARADIGM SHIFT! Archer is down, the count begins, and Moxley paces about. Archer springs up at 3!?! And he double dirty birds Moxley! But Moxley gets the FORK!! JAB JAB JAB to the forehead!! Mox lets off, the count begins again but Moxley plans ahead. Moxley brings out A BARBED WIRE BOARD?!
Moxley uses the board of barbed wire as the cherry on top of his double table! Archer crawls over, the standing count being over, and Moxley gets him on the apron. Moxley underhooks the arms, fans anticipate disaster, but Archer has Moxley’s fork!! JAB JAB JAB to Moxley’s forehead!! Archer then choke grips, and CHOKE SLAMS Moxley through his barbed wired covered tables!!! The standing count begins, Archer watches Moxley down in the wreckage, and the count hits 10! ARCHER WINS!!
Winner: Lance Archer, by technical knockout (NEW IWGP United States Champion)
Both men raised the stakes from their previous battles, and in the end, it was Moxley who busted. But Hikuleo gets right up in the ring to stare down Archer! Archer is big but so is Hikuleo! Fans are losing their minds at this teaser, will Fight for the Fallen be just as furious as Fyter Fest?
My Thoughts:
Another great night for Dynamite and a great second night of Fyter Fest, on par with last week for sure. Opening with the Labours of Jericho was a great choice, it was a very good opener. It was a good choice for it being Sammy stopping Tully’s interference was the right move, Sammy VS Spears has of course been the plan in the background of the other Inner Circle VS Pinnacle feuds. But what a shock that AEW brought in Nick Gage given what MJF literally said about him because it’s all true. And I suppose they’re calling it “No Rules,” not just No Disqualifications, as a weird way of saying it is No Holds Barred or Extreme Rules, however you want to say, “This is going to be nuts!”
We got a good promo from Miro to hype up Dynamite: Homecoming in a couple weeks, but he didn’t name an opponent so that is probably going to be decided in the next two weeks. There are a lot of names I’ve been wanting to see from Elevation to get a shot, I’m sure it’ll be a great match no matter who is against him. Kaz VS Gallows was good but I should’ve figured Anderson would help Gallows to win that. Omega and Callis showing up to talk trash was fine, but I don’t think it really worked for Omega to suddenly struggle with the easiest wordplay in the world. But Hangman and the Dark Order coming out to take the fight to them again was very good, that 10-Man is going to be great, I have a feeling Hangman is the last man for his team to somehow win it all.
Team Taz had a decent promo to set up a segment for next week, and Brian Cage had a decent add-on to that. The Absolute Party being crashed is going to be fun, I bet All Out has the FTW Championship rematch in at least the Buy-In. We got a very good match from Darby VS Wheeler, but I think the best part was the “confrontation” between Cassidy and Sting. That match needs to happen at some point. Darby wins to prove his toughness, and Blade going after Cassidy was a good touch before their match. That match was very good, as was the “overbooking” with Statlander and Bunny. Cassidy wins and gets to show some edge using the knuckles himself, I wonder if “Serious Cassidy” is the one who gets a title finally.
Baker VS Nyla was a really good match, but I feel like it lost a lot of steam with the weird near fall where fans were adamant about the ref getting it wrong. Then from that point on, Nyla seemed a bit thrown off or groggy, that made it trickier for Britt to do things, but I figured Britt was winning anyway because of just how over she is. Britt is definitely gracing Pittsburgh with her presence, maybe for both Dynamite and Rampage’s premiere episode to make it a big week. We got a pretty good press conference promo, but Dax again recycled material. Santana’s material was strong, and that tag match for Fight for the Fallen is going to be badass.
We got a great segment with Andrade bringing CHAVO to AEW, and then establishing that this is a feud with Death Triangle. I do like that Andrade was hoping to team with them, with Pac optional, but their series of matches are going to be great, too. Then we’re also getting Cody VS Malakai at Homecoming, that is going to be very good but again, I would hope Cody lets Malakai get this win to establish him in AEW. QT’s promo about apologizing to Schiavone is interesting, I’m pretty sure this is a trick to sucker Schiavone into an even more humiliating moment, and I hope Dustin goes out to defend Schiavone because WE NEED the grudge match blow-off of Dustin VS QT, maybe even bigger than that.
Tony Khan announcing a new live event for the AEW calendar is pretty exciting. That could be any number of things as I haven’t heard any rumblings of this news anywhere, sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun. And then that main event was a metric ton of fun in the form of badass brutality! A FORK!? Holy crap! This was the best match in the Mox VS Archer rivalry, it reference all the other ones and escalated things, and I was really surprised but also happy to see Archer win. Archer has been waiting for something big for a long time, this is that. Next week is big for Hikuleo to debut in AEW in a championship match against a big name like Archer, but I feel like Archer wins to maybe take this title over to NJPW Strong or even Resurgence.
My Score: 9.2/10

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
While Pac goes down with an Achilles injury, The Death Riders will still defend their AEW World Trios Championships using some Freebird Rules! Jon Moxley steps in, will he, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta keep the reign of terror going? Or can The Opps free the trios titles from their death grip?
FTR is here!
Speaking of those titles, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are here after failing to win the AEW World Trios Championships, and then brutalizing The Rated R Superstar! Adam Copeland had to be stretchered out of the arena in Philadelphia on Sunday, and FTR gets booed by Springfield, Massachusetts here tonight. Cash has a mic to say, “What happened Sunday, that wasn’t an easy decision for me. And despite what you might think, it was not premeditated. Adam Copeland has been one of my best friends, he has been my mentor, for 15 YEARS, before I even really knew Dax Harwood!”
The fans boo but Cash says the more Dax talked, the more sense he made. The more sense it made, the more it pissed Cash off, because he wanted Dax to be wrong. But Cash could feel it, he could feel that he was wrong. The more he watched the moves Cope made backstage, the more he moved against FTR’s careers, the more Cash understood that Cope only cared about Cope. Cope held FTR down! He held them down to lift himself up! So in Philly, when Cash saw Dax sitting here, Cope laying here, in that moment… It just clicked. Cash knew what had to happen, and that he’d have to be the one to do it!
The fans boo more but Cash says Cope may have trained him as a young man, but that’s all Cope ever saw! That helpless kid! And Cash is not that anymore. Cope did not respect Cash as a man! And if you disrespect him, you have to pay. FTR are living legends! They will be treated as such! Dax says he knows that it is the “cool” thing to do, so you feel like you’re somebody, you feel like you’re involved. It’s cool to boo FTR when they talk, that’s “cool” in 2025. The fans didn’t reach their dreams, so now they make their own. But just let Dax say this one thing and then they can do this charade.
“Last week, I saw a sign in the crowd that said, ‘Why, FTR, Why?’ And as cliche as that is, I though to myself, ‘Well, why not?’ Instead of asking us why, you should be thanking us! You should be thanking us because we gave Adam Copeland everything he wanted. Adam Copeland was begging for relevancy in 2025 at the expense of the ABSOLUTE BEST TAG TEAM IN THIS WORLD, and we gave it to him!” The fans chant, “You Sold Out!” and Dax asks back, “How did I sell out, you idiots? I didn’t make any money off of this.” But over the last week, Dax has been wracking his brain on what to say over what he could say to the fans and be justified.
And then it clicked! Dax doesn’t care if anyone agrees with FTR! What FTR did was right. The fans boo, but Dax says even though FTR doesn’t own anyone an explanation, let’s have fun here. They’ll run down the list. For four MONTHS, they waited. Four months, nothing to do, they were irrelevant for four months. The only thing planned for them was to be Cope’s new Edgeheads. They put FTR’s career on hold so Cope could chase his glory days and win one more world title, holding on to a sliver of hope that he might still be the man. Dax tells Adam, “We’ve won ten world titles across seven worldwide brands, and YOU want us to take a backseat to you!?
“You’re selfish! Too damn selfish to see where the issue is! And I wanted nothing more, I wanted nothing more than Adam Copeland to end his career side-by-side with FTR and ride off into the sunset. But just like every wrestler in Adam Copeland’s position, you’re TOO DAMN SELFISH!” The fans boo, Dax tells them they paid money to see him so sit down and shut up. Just work out even once, buddy! Dax understands there are a lot of people in the back not happy with FTR. And that there are some people out here not happy with them. Tony Schiavone, come on over here. The fans boo, but Dax promises Schiavone that he just wants to talk.
Nigel isn’t so sure, but Schiavone says he has things he needs to say, too. The fans are torn, but Schiavone goes to the ring. Dax tells Schiavone to be careful now, don’t fall getting in. But this week on Dynamite, Schiavone had some choice words for FTR. Funny that they were hundreds of miles away at the time. But now, face to face, would Schiavone like to say something? Schiavone says yes, and he says that they were wrong to do that to Cope. The fans cheer, Schiavone points out that when FTR arrived, the fans all loved FTR. FTR revived tag team wrestling. But in one fell swoop, they turned their backs on the man who helped them in their career.
Dax stops Schiavone there, laughing that off. So there was one other thing Schiavone said, and he doesn’t quite remember. Dax is pretty sure it had to do with Dax’s family? Yes… Schiavone says Dax’s daughter, a wonderful young lady, Straight A student… How did she feel on Monday when her friends told her that her dad turned on one of his best friends? Dax paces, and then he drags Schiavone into position! The fans boo, but Nigel stands up! FTR sees that, and the fans cheer as Nigel storms off commentary! Nigel gets in the ring to get Schiavone to safety, and he also told Schiavone he knew this would happen.
FTR warns Nigel now, but here comes Daniel Garcia! He steps to them, but FTR SHOVES him down! Then they realize what they did, and they apologize. They don’t have anything against Garcia, they’re sorry. They help Garcia stand up, then they hug Garcia…? The fans boo, and Garcia has no idea what to make of this. FTR leaves, Schiavone & Nigel go back to commentary, and Garcia makes sure Schiavone is okay. The fans cheer Garcia, Schiavone says he had to say what he said. Will the Top Guys be the absolute worst from now on?
Toni Storm speaks.
“Megan Bayne is a monster. That woman has so much thigh meat, I thought I was being mugged on Thanksgiving. Nevertheless, I don’t need to tell you that this whore you all adore, this slut you can’t rebut, this tramp is still the champ! But enough of this gay banter. The Owen Hart Cup has begun, and the winner goes on to All In: Texas for a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship. Ladies, good luck. But this is a timeless cafe, and I’m gonna bake up the biggest batch of slop tarts you’ve ever seen! Billie Starkz, you Johnny Come Lately, milk-breathed, knobby kneed little brat. I will make a woman out of you.
“Harley Cameron. Call me Jim Henson, because I will wear you on my wrist and make you sing Rainbow Connection.” Schiavone? Toni says that’s the wrong slide, next! “Mercedes Money, our CEO. What an unfortunate nickname. I will drain your 401K and put you so deep into recession, you’ll have to drink my bath water. Kris Statlander. My God, what a woman! Athena. You may be the ROH Forever Champion, but you’ll last about two minutes with me. And Jamie Hayter, take my advice: No money has ever been made from dressing like you’re in a different era.
“And as for me, I could sit at home and watch this entire tournament eating veal parmesana, but that’s not the kind of woman I am, yet. Nevertheless, at Double or Nothing, I will be there, I will be watching, I will be sweating, and I will always be… TIMELESS~!” The champion has put all of her contenders on notice, but who will even make it out of the first round of this star-studded tournament?
2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Jamie Hayter VS Billie Starkz!
Well, speaking of those challengers, we have two here to finally kick off the action! Hayter and Billie went a round already, but will it be a repeat performance? Or will this be a Starkz contrast from last time?
The bell rings and the fans rally. Jamie rushes Billie but Billie dodges the boot. Jamie ducks Billie’s heel kick, then shoves Billie to ropes. Billie ducks, whips, but Jamie ducks ‘n’ dodges. Billie sees the lariat coming and backs off! Jamie smirks and the fans cheer. Billie comes back, offers a handshake, but Jamie isn’t so sure. Jamie accepts, but Billie whips! Jamie ducks ‘n’ dodges, Billie drops down then HEEL KICKS! Jamie goes down in a heap, seems it isn’t just Hayter who hits hard! Jamie goes to the apron, Billie storms up, but Billie bobs ‘n’ weaves to then sweep the legs! Billie SUPERKICKS Jamie, then runs, and DIVES into a forearm!
The fans fire up and Jamie brushes off the biceps. Jamie whips Billie hard into railing, then drags her up to whip her into more- NO, Billie goes up, but Jamie catches her to TOSS her over!

Billie writhes, Jamie covers, ONE!! Jamie kneels on Billie’s head, then steps off. Billie flounders, Jamie drags her up, but Billie fires hands! Jamie throws Billie by her hair! The ref reprimands but the fans cheer while Billie goes to the apron.
Jamie kicks Billie to the floor, then mockingly counts really fast, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Jamie applauds, but the ref says his count isn’t even close to over. Jamie goes out to fetch Billie, then SMACKS Her off the apron! Jamie puts Billie in the ring, then clamps on a chinlock. Billie endures as Jamie grinds her down. Billie fights up, fires body shots, but Jamie CLUBS her down. Jamie drags Billie up, bumps her off buckles again and again and again, and again and again and again, and again and again and again! Jamie finally stops as the ref counts 4, and Billie is in a daze. Jamie whips Billie corner to corner hard, then storms up to fire forearms. Jamie ROCKS Billie and she sits down. Jamie digs her boots in, but the ref counts.
Jamie steps off, then drags Billie up. Jamie whips Billie corner to corner again, then runs up, but Billie BOOTS her away! Billie HEEL- NO, Jamie blocks that kick! Jamie steps over to power Billie down into the HALF CRAB! Collision returns to single picture as Billie endures! Billie powers up, reaches out, and the fans rally as she fights forward!

The fans fire up, Jamie kisses the bicep, and she stands Billie up. SPRINGBOARD HAYT- NO, Billie ducks and backslides! ONE!! Billie suplexes, GHOSTBUSTER!! Cover, TWO?!?!

Billie put on another incredible fight, but it was still not enough to reach that next level! Hayter Hits Hard, but will she have to hit even harder going up against Kris Statlander?
The Death Riders speak.
Claudio Castagnoli says, “When we started this war, we fully expected casualties. But we do not mourn, because only in death does duty end. Now, we’re not gonna hide. We’re still gonna be front and center! So Joe, yes, we’re gonna accept that challenge!” Claudio rants in German, then says at Spring Breakthru, it’s on. They do not concede territory! Marina Shafir holds up Pac’s belt, and Moxley says, “What a learning experience this will be for generational punk ass play wrestlers who don’t wanna show up to work. There’s plenty of money, championships, glory, victory, and it’s all on the frontline.
“If you want it, that’s where you gotta be. You gotta step in, step up, put yourself in harm’s way. Samoa Joe, Shibata-san, you guys know that. What’re you teaching sweet young Hook? Hook… Don’t worry. Relax. It’s the biggest match of your life. But trust me… Chicks dig scars.” Wheeler Yuta smirks, and shows his scar. Will the Death Riders find The Opps are in fact lacking?
The Gates of Agony VS Smash ‘n’ Burn!
Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona have been dominating for a long time, but they’re still waiting on their opportunity. Will this be
The teams sort out, Kaun starts against Juni Underwood, and KNEES him, to then BACKBREAKER, and RUNNING SUPLEX! Kaun puts Juni in the corner. Tag to Liona, and Liona puts Juni in a corner for point-blank LARIATS! Liona goes all the way to TEN, then short arm LARIATS Juni inside-out! Then he TOSSES Ricky Pryce into the ring just because! Liona runs up to CLOBBER Ricky! Tag to Kaun, the Gates get Juni up to OPEN THE GATES onto Ricky! Cover, Gates win!
Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall
Kaun applauds his opponents, and Liona laughs. “We hurt people, too!” Is that a not so subtle message sent to the AEW World Tag Team Champions?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy Nair finds Cash & Dax on their way out and asks for a moment. After what they did to Cope- Wait, 2Point0 barges in! Matt Menard & Angelo Parker excuse Lexy, and they say FTR must think they’re pretty slick. They’ve got the wool pulled over Danny’s eyes. But 2Point0 sees through the BS, and they’ll be damned if they let FTR put Garcia in the same position as Cope. FTR try to speak but Menard says no, it’s their time to talk. A year and a half, Menard has been waiting for this. A YEAR AND A HALF, and FTR finally exposed themselves! FTR thinks they can do this to Garcia? Dax tries to speak but Menard tells him to shut his gaddamn mouth!
This is 2Point0’s time! Understand that they won’t sit by and see what happened to Cope happen to Garcia! FTR asks if they want to fight. Yeah, they do! Okay, FTR will fight 2Point0 tonight, with Garcia ringside. Garcia is a grown man, he can make his own decisions. #TopGuysOut. Cash & Dax go back to the locker room, will they take out Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange?

So the last question is: Who will step up to the plate next and get their ass Molly Whopped by THE Five Tool Player?!”

The Gates of Agony speak.
Bishop Kaun applauds, and he says, “That was impressive, wasn’t it? We’re back. And we’re not even hurt.

Hurt Syndicate hurts people? The Gates of Agony BREAK people! See you in Boston! Will Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin still be standing when Kaun & Liona #OpenTheGates?
FTR VS 2Point0!
Dax & Cash want to still be Daniel Garcia’s friends, but Menard & Parker have been Garcia’s friends this whole time. Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange have always felt something was off, will they finally take the Top Guys out?
Speaking of Garcia, he makes his way out, as invited by FTR. He still seems to be upset and unsure given FTR lashing out earlier, but he’s still ringside. The teams sort out and Dax BLASTS Parker off the apron! Dax beats up on Menard and then Cash runs up to CLOBBER Parker! The fans boo as Cash sends Parker into railing! And apron! And railing again!

The fans rally for “DADDY MAGIC!” but Dax throws more fists! Menard is a bloody mess as Dax punches away! The ref backs Dax off, Menard stands like a zombie, and he ROCKS Dax! And ROCKS him again! Menard ROCKS Dax again and again and again in the corner! The fans love it, but Cash storms in to go after Menard!

Garcia gets on the apron, he wants the ref to step in already! FTR apologize and they set Menard down. Cover, FTR wins!
Winners: FTR, by pinfall
Garcia is still furious, and he storms into the ring. He checks on Menard, then he gets in Dax’s face! Dax & Cash want Garcia to calm down. They did hear him out in the end there. Garcia says it shouldn’t have taken that! FTR leaves, Garcia helps Menard stand, but then FTR returns! They CLOBBER Garcia! They beat Garcia down while the fans boo! FTR get Garcia up, MIND BREAKER!!! And then they get him back up!? MIND BREAKER!!! The ref shouts at them to stop, the fans boo as hard as they can, but FTR hauls Garcia up again! Security rushes in to stop this! Dax DECKS the ref!! That’s another fine right there!
The fans boo, security try to stop FTR, but FTR gets Garcia up again! BUT WAIT! The Undisputed Kingdom rush in! The paragons of wrestling will not let this injustice continue! They run FTR off, but FTR says they should watch their backs now. Who else will FTR violently disrespect as they demand we respect them?

The LONGEST REIGNING champion in ROH history, and yes that is champion bar none, male or female, is finally getting her shot at history here in AEW. She could very well become a new Double Champion should she win all the way to Double or Nothing and then All In: Texas. But she must first get past one wild Aussie! Will Athena #FeelTheWrath of Harley Cameron? Or will the Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, simply add Harley’s name to the long, long list of fallen opponents?

Athena powers up and out to send Harley tot he corner. Athena runs in, Harley slips out to the apron, and Harley blocks a shot to ROUNDHOUSE!

Athena runs to the post to HOTSHOT Harley! Then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Athena then wheelbarrows Harley to GERMAN SUPLEX to the floor!
The fans fire up and Athena smiles. The ref checks Harley, she’s okay to continue, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Athena stomps Harley, drags her up, and sends her into steel steps! Harley sputters, Athena refreshes the ring count, and she CLUBS Harley. Harley staggers away, Athena stands her up and ROCKS her!

Athena stalks Harley, drags her up, and KNEES her in the side! Athena stalks Harley some more, KNEES her in the side, and then has Harley in the corner. Athena RAMS into Harley, RAMS into her again, then RAMS again! Athena pushes Harley along the ropes but the ref reprimands.
Athena ROCKS Harley, but Harley ROCKS Athena! Athena brings Harley up but Harley ROCKS her again! Athena clamps on a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Then she suplexes high and hard! Athena kips up, fires up, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as Athena has Harley in a Bow ‘n’ Arrow stretch! Harley endures, pries at the facelock portion, but Athena thrashes Harley. Harley pops free to a cover, TWO! Athena knees low, whips, but Harley reverses to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up, Harley brings Athena up, but Athena shoves her away. SOBAT! LEG SWEEP! Athena runs, and SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO! Harley survives and Athena grows frustrated. Athena stalks Harley to ropes, KICKS her in the side, then brings her up to scoop and carry her! Athena puts Harley in the Tree of Woe, then KICKS! KICKS! And KICKS!
The ref counts, Athena backs off, and Athena cheers herself on. Athena runs, but Harley sits up over the sweep! Harley KICKS from upside-down, then wrenches to NECKBREAKER!

Athena stays undefeated in any and all kinds of matches, and she holds up her ROH Women’s World Championship, as well as her spinner belt variant. But now she runs into Mercedes Mone, their battle set for Boston and the Dynamite edition of Spring Breakthru! Will Mone win in her hometown to head for Double or Nothing? Or will Athena derail the Money Train and be that much closer to a match in her hometown of Arlington, Texas?
Mercedes Mone speaks.
“Springfieeeeeld~! Sorry the Money Train skipped your pathetic town. But then next stop for me in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament is in my hometown of Boston. That’s right, it was a little over a year ago where I made my AEW debut in the City of Champions. It was in that very moment that I had the biggest dream of holding all the championship gold! And now the Money Train is only two stops away from All In: Texas. And Athena, you are just a speedbump on my track to success. The Forever ROH Champion, Athena, you are one of the very best of all time, and you proved that tonight against Harley Cameron.
“But you’re competing against me, Four Belts Mone, the greatest TBS Champion of all time. So this Wednesday at Dynamite, I am going to show you why Money Changes Everything. And the best woman will win, and that woman is me, darling.” Mone is ready, but will she put her money where her mouth is against the Fallen Goddess?
2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Konosuke Takeshita VS Brody King w/ Julia Hart!
Just last night for NJPW Windy City Riot, The Alpha just went toe-to-toe with The Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi, as part of the Ace Final Road series. And as big as that moment was, this could be even bigger! Konosuke wants to fulfill Don Callis’ prophecy of a “Proto-shita” finals at Double or Nothing, will he be one step closer to realizing that dream match? Or will the King of Death end The Alpha right here and now?
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two tie up, are in a deadlock, and Brody powers Konosuke to a corner. The ref counts, Brody lets off slowly, but Konosuke avoids the chop! Konosuke headlocks, Brody powers up and out, and they RAM shoulders! Neither man falls and the fans fire up! Brody swings, Konosuke dodges to come back and ROCK Brody! Brody comes back, runs through the CHOP, then RAMS Konosuke! Konosuke rebounds, ducks the lariat, and he returns again, but Brody’s CHOP knocks him down! The fans bark for Brody and he drags Konosuke up. Brody scoops, Konosuke slips free, but Brody fires elbows!
Brody switches to hit a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, and Brody has Konosuke in a corner. Brody CHOPS and the fans fire up!

My Thoughts:
A great, maybe even awesome episode of Collision here. Even with things being mostly obvious results, it was all top level stuff. Knight VS Fox was great stuff to help keep Knight sharp in AEW. Best of the Super Juniors starts in May, so he’s got about another month where he will still be hanging in AEW, Knight can surely get a couple more wins before going back to Japan for that tournament. Gates of Agony of course won their match, but I like that they called out the Hurt Syndicate. I feel like they won’t win the title match with them, but it’s good to see the Gates finally moving up to this level and not just languishing in ROH.
Great match from Bowens VS Blake, and a great win for Bowens. Very good promo from Bowens, I’m sure he’ll get more wins and maybe even go for a title. Well, depending on where the different midcard belts are going, Bowens might have to wait a minute, given the tease of Omega VS Okada as of late. Good promo from the Death Riders as they have adjust after Pac gets injured. At the same time, Hook should be alright from the dizziness and possible concussion, as nothing has been said further. Death Riders VS Opps for the trios titles will be great stuff, but even doing it for a themed episode doesn’t make me think Death Riders lose. It’d be nice if they did, though…
Good Heel promo from FTR, though it didn’t say much more than Dax did passive aggressively a couple weeks ago: Cope kept FTR from what FTR wanted, which glosses over how The Death Riders kinda got at them, too; and the loss at Dynasty was just the last straw. Them threatening Schiavone & Nigel was a nice touch, as was getting Garcia into the story given he teamed with them against Undisputed Kingdom. Menard & Parker stepping up for Garcia was good, and wow did Menard bleed for that match. FTR of course win, and then them brutalizing 2Point0 to bring out Undisputed Kingdom (well, I guess they’re trying Paragon, since Schiavone mentioned that) was good, too.
Dax & Cash are tag guys so they won’t bother with the TNT Championship, but I could see them taking on Roddy & Kyle one more time, then we’d get Dax & Cash VS Cole & Garcia. At least, maybe? Just something that’ll help FTR get back up and maybe go for tag titles. Megan beating two opponents at once was a good way to step things up in her rebound from Dynasty. I wonder if she’ll keep doing that until running into some new rival. I say that as it seems we won’t be getting her and Toni Storm in a rematch.
Toni Storm had a great promo to call out all the remaining Women’s Owen Hart Cup entries, but I find it interesting that she had no quip for Kris, just a compliment. Makes me wonder if Kris is destined to win the tournament and go to All In with Toni. And of course, great stuff in all of the Owen Hart Cup matches. Jamie VS Billie was a great rematch, but I shouldn’t be surprised Jamie wins again. Jamie VS Kris will be great stuff to lead into Double or Nothing. Then, great stuff from Athena VS Harley, certainly one of Harley’s better matches. But at the same time, of course Athena won to face Mone. Good promo from Mone to call Athena out, their match is going to be awesome, hard to say who wins that.
Konosuke VS Brody was also great, definitely a great main event. Of course Konosuke won. He’s NEVER Openweight Champion, the Don Callis Family keeps their idea of All Don Callis Family alive a little longer, and Konosuke VS Ospreay is going to be awesome stuff. I still think Ospreay wins and meets Kyle in the main event, but I suppose that still depends on how Hangman VS Wild Card goes.
My Score: 8.9/10

The Death Riders speak.
Jon Moxley says, “The single greatest roster of pure talent ever assembled under one roof every week on AEW Dynamite. So, why can’t any of these guys get their act together when it counts? They come with their talents and they come with their gifts and they come with their fanfare and their bodies hit the dirt and they roll back down the hill. They will excuse themselves of they will seek comfort without addressing the real problem: You don’t want it. You don’t. We will scorch the earth with anybody who wants to call themselves a contender before we give a single inch. Not an inch.
“This is my life’s work. It will not be bought or sold. Matt & Nick Jackson have returned. Interesting. Power players in pro-wrestling’s new gilded age. Let’s do a little who’s who. I’m surrounded by warriors, I am the world champion, a king on the frontlines. You two? I don’t recognize you two anymore. I haven’t for a long time. You stumbled onto a board and you don’t know what the game is. You better figure it out, and you better be real, real careful. Better be real careful before you make any moves.” The Maniac keeps everyone on edge as he puts them all on notice, but will someone finally beat him at his own game?
Jon Moxley w/ Marina Shafir VS Katsuyori Shibata!
While The Maniac thinks he and his Death Riders are feared and untouchable, The Opps showed they are #NeverLacking! The Opps did what they could to keep things even between Death Riders and Swerve Strickland, but will The Wrestler make sure Moxley realizes what he’s lacking?
The bell rings, the two circle, and Baltimore rallies up. The two clinch, fight for control, and Shibata slips through to waistlock. Moxley wrenches free, but Shibata hooks a leg. Moxley rolls to get a wristlock but Shibata headscissors. The fans cheer, but Moxley fights around and pops free. The two stare down and go again. Shibata stays low as he looks for a leg, but then stands as Moxley tries for knuckle locks. They clinch, Moxley facelocks, but Shibata fights around. The fans duel, Shibata slips out to waistlock, then he grabs a leg. Moxley fights up, Shibata goes back to the waistlock and wrangles Moxley again.
The two move around, Moxley goes to the ROPEBREAK, and Shibata lets off. The fans rally as the two reset. They circle, tie up collar ‘n’ elbow, and Moxley powers Shibata back to the ropes. Shibata turns things around, only for Moxley to turn them back around, and they’re in the corner. Moxley lets off slowly, then he pie faces Shibata! Shibata CHOPS Moxley! The fans fire up as Shibata gives as good as he gets! Moxley is already red, so he CHOPS! Shibata CHOPS, Moxley CHOPS, the fans “WOO~!” and the CHOPS keep going! As soon as Mox CHOPS, Shibata CHOPS! Moxley snarls, kicks low, then runs, to then BOOT Shibata!
Moxley gets in Shibata’s face, but Shibata just eggs him on! The fans fire up, so Moxley BOOTS Shibata again! Shibata just turns himself around and eggs Moxley on! Moxley BOOTS, but Shibata gets in Moxley’s face! Moxley runs, but into a clinch, S T O! The fans fire up, and Shibata clamps on a chinlock. Moxley fights up, but Shibata catches him into a COBRA TWIST! Moxley endures, reaches out, but Shibata shifts position to have an IRON OCTOPUS! Moxley still endures, fights his way forward, and has the ROPEBREAK! Shibata lets go to CLUB Moxley, then whips him to a corner and BOOTS!
The fans fire up as Shibata fires a flurry of forearms on Moxley! The ref counts, Shibata sits Moxley down, then he runs corner to corner, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Then he gets going again, but Moxley LARIATS first! Moxley hurries to get Shibata up, LARIAT! Cover, ONE!! Shibata is tougher than that, but Moxley reels him in, PILEDRIVER! Moxley grins while Shibata staggers up, but Shibata PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up as Shibata quite literally kicks that smug look off Moxley’s face! Marina is worried, but Shibata clamps on with a chinlock. Moxley fights up, slips out, and he has a SLEEPER!
Shibata pries at the hold, slips around, spin and snapmare, then the SLEEPER! Moxley fights up, reaches out, and he reaches back to THUMB Shibata in the eye! Shibata lets go, Moxley has the SLEEPER, and drops for the REAR NAKED CHOKE! The fans boo but Shibata is caught! The ref calls it, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap, but it still gave Moxley the win. Will Moxley continue to act in opposition to his words? Wait! The Young Bucks are here! Matthew & Nicholas Jackson make their way out on stage, Baltimore booing all the way. The prodigal EVPs go to the ring, and step inside to join Moxley & Marina. Moxley eyes The Bucks, The Problem standing in their way. Moxley has Marina stand down and the Death Riders fall back. Nick gets a mic to say, “Please give it up for your World Heavyweight Champion, Jon Moxley!” The fans boo instead. Nick says, “And show some damn respect for the Founding Fathers of AEW, YOUR EVPs!”
The fans boo more, but Nick tells them to “Shut the F up!” And yes, he used the letter F, so he self-censored. Nick knows everyone is wondering why The Bucks did what they did. Why did they cost Swerve the world title? Well, they have a couple good reasons why. First of all, they did it for their good friend. Hangman Adam Page, you’re welcome! This is what Hangman wanted all along! He never wanted Swerve to be world champion ever again, so they did that for him. The Bucks do NOT forget who their friends are. They still love Hangman and they know Hangman loves them. The fans chant “Whose House?“ “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”
Matt says Moxley, if only you stuck around to hear this, but Matt isn’t afraid to say this in front of the world. The fans continue to chant for “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” but Matt tells The Death Riders that what they did for them is a peace offering. The Bucks have no problems with The Death Riders, and they hope The Death Riders have no problems with them. While Matt & Nick sat at home for months and months, they realized while watching The Death Riders, that they’ve all got more in common than you’d think. The Death Riders wanna see that locker room rise to the occasion, just like The Bucks.
The Death Riders want AEW to be the best company in the world, just like The Bucks! They want to change the world, just like The Bucks! And Jon, Matt is impressed. Watching Jon, Matt saw him do what The Bucks could not. Jon Moxley succeeded in taking over AEW, and even got the world title. The Bucks could never do that. So last Sunday was their elevator pitch to The Death Riders. Imagine the synergy if The Death Riders & The Elite worked together as one! Moxley, the world champion, and The Founding Fathers of AEW, The EVPs, all together…! So please, Moxley, come on back out here with your boys, and let’s discuss a little bit of business.
The fans boo, but instead of Moxley, it’s KENNY OMEGA! The other Founding Father is here, and the fans fire up! The AEW International Champion has a mic to tell The Bucks, “So you did this all for your friends, huh? Mox, Hanger. You forgot to do me. But actually, I remember the last time we met. And if memory serves me correctly, it’s when at the height of my diverticulitis, you pushed me off a stretcher that was taking me to the hospital.” The fans boo, and Omega says this might sound crazy, but he never forgot. And he even forgave them! When he returned, he said that what he was doing was for his own legacy and for the safety of this company, not for revenge.
The fans cheer, and Omega says what we’re all trying to do here is #BringBacktheFeeling. Now, Omega hates to divert from the story, but allow him to tell The Bucks a story. Omega had a friend in high school who had two Shi Tzu dogs. It doesn’t really matter the type of dog, but they were both yappy as all heck. Ugly little mutts, but hey, Omega is an animal lover, so he loved these dogs. Every time he visited his friend’s place, they’d play games, but the dogs would take a dookie on the floor. The friend didn’t care, and those two little Shi Tzus were ever so pleased with themselves.
But as time went on, and more dookie kept collecting, and the stains left behind were getting more pungent, Omega had to say, “Hey, pal. Maybe we move this over to my place?” That is what The Bucks, without Omega, were like here in AEW. The fans chant “DOOKIE! DOOKIE!” Omega says the last time we saw The Bucks on AEW TV, they were shredding documents like there was some big incriminating thing they were covering up. Guys, Omega is gonna spoil the surprise right now. We all know how The Bucks live. We all know exactly how they operate! They brag about their earnings and their money, so yes, they were tearing up receipts!
Receipts of private jets! Of that big chair one of them has facing the bed in their master bedroom. The OnlyFans accounts! But it doesn’t matter! The part that matters most, the part that pisses Omega off the most, is that not because of The Death Riders, but because of The Young Bucks that AEW almost died! The company Omega loves and gave his very life, heart and soul for. The fans cheer that, and Omega says he cannot lie. The time off did The Bucks wonderfully. Nick looks every bit of that 90 pounds he was before he left. And Matt… Well, sure, he looks fine in that low cut V neck, but lay off the hot stuff! He’s as red as Nick’s lapels!
And quite frankly, now that we’ve gotten to this point, Omega could go on and on and on. But he doesn’t know, maybe they cut out the middle man and just fight. The fans fire up as Omega storms his way forward! Nick & Matt are ready, but then here comes Kazuchika Okada! The Elite’s Rainmaker is here and Omega realizes this is now 3v1. But wait! SWERVE shows up! The fans fire up as now things look to be 3v2! Swerve slips in from the crowd side, with a chair! The Elite runs off, avoiding retribution for the Dynasty screw job. The fans cheer as Baltimore is now “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”
Omega offers a fist bump, Swerve gives him the fist bump! Will The Cleaner and The Realest be unlikely allies in this war for AEW’s heart and soul? Swerve grabs a mic to shout, “I now pronounce it is Buck Hunting Season! And I’m here with a loaded shotgun ready to blast on some freakin’ EVPs! You couldn’t leave well enough alone, could you? I dealt with you last year. And now-” PAC ATTACKS! The Bastard has a match with Swerve, so he decides to take it now! The fans boo but Pac digs his boot into Swerve in the neck! The ref rushes in, he has Pac back off, and things cool off while Dynamite goes to break!
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS PAC!
Dynamite returns as Swerve tells the ref this match is still happening. The bell rings, Pac runs up, and Swerve BOOTS him down! The fans fire up and Swerve brings Pac up for fast hands! Swerve has Pac in a corner, fires off more shots, then fireman’s carries to hit SNAKE EYES! Swerve runs and he BOOTS Pac down again! Pac flounders, the fans fire up, and Swerve sees Pac bail out. Swerve BOOTS Pac from the apron! Swerve snarls, then drags Pac up to whip hard into railing! And then whips him the other way, into more railing! Pac writhes, but Swerve brings him up to send into steel steps! Pac slumps down while the fans fire up!
Nana says this is the REAL world champion here! Swerve refreshes the ring count, then revels in the fans chanting “One More Time!” Pac hurries into the ring to deny Swerve that, but Swerve goes around the outside. Swerve storms into the ring, but Pac goes back to the apron. Swerve storms up but Pac RAMS into him! Pac slingshots up and over, keeps moving, but Swerve stops the rana! Swerve hauls Pac up to BUCKLE BOMB! Pac writhes, drags himself up, and Swerve snapmares him to go up and FALLING UPPERCUT! The fans fire up while Swerve hits the Griddy! Swerve stalks Pac, stands on him at the ropes, but steps off as the ref counts.
Pac sputters, Swerve eggs Pac on, but Doc Sampson is called over to check on Pac. Pac’s foot seems to be the body part in question, and Swerve is annoyed that this is denying him his payback. The fans rally and Swerve paces. Doc double checks Pac, he is okay to continue, so he slides into the ring. SUPERKICK from Swerve! Swerve goes up the corner and the fans fire up! KILL STOMPS! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
The Bastard takes a shot intended for The Bucks, but Swerve surely has ammo to spare. Will Swerve get at Matt & Nick soon enough?
Ricochet, Beast Mortos & Cru speak.
The One & Only says, “There is a lot that Daddy can do with $400,000. And tonight, I will lead Team Ricochet to victory.” The others take offense to that. But yeah, he’s the captain now. AHA~! The others roll their eyes, but will they all be rolling in money after tonight?
Will Ospreay, Mark Briscoe, Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey speak.
The Sussex County Chicken says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the word of the day is entrepreneurial! Because tonight, fellas, we have a opportunity to split 400 hundred thousand dollars! Will, whatcha gonna do with a hundred grand?” The Aerial Assassin shouts, “DISNEY WORLD~!” Mike, how ’bout you? He’ll buy some new shoes! And Jet, what about you? Kevin Knight is gonna go to Atlantic City, baby! What about Mark? Well, he plans to diversify his financial portfolio. But that’s besides the point! They’re coming for ya, baby! RAH RAH RAH! Which team will #ManUp and bring up the jackpot?
AEW hears from the many entrants of the Women’s Owen Hart Cup.
The CEO brags about how she beat the Princess of the Black Throne, but Billie Starkz reminds us that this is about honoring a legend. Jamie Hart says Billie is young, but scrappy and has heart. Mone continues to brag that the Money Train is going to win The Owen, pull into Globe Life Field stadium and become AEW Women’s World- Wait, Mini Mone pops in and says, “CHAMPION~!” Harley Cameron is all smiles but Mone has a headache. Billie knows Jamie doesn’t doubt herself because she beat Billie before, but in the Owen Hart Cup, it’ll be different. Harley tells Mone that she might go to All In. Or maybe, just maybe, Harley does, because she’s also in the tournament.
And you never know! Maybe Harley and Mone could face off! Jamie knows Billie wants her moment, but Jamie just wants to fight. Let’s see which one wins out on Saturday. Mone wishes Harley luck against Athena, and may the best woman win. Mini Mone tells Harley that next time, she’ll do the talking. But as stated, the Owen Hart Cup will have a Collision in Springfield, Massachusetts! Who makes it out of there to move on to Boston and the Spring Breakthru?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee Paquette brings up The Cowboy facing the Wild Card entrant to the Men’s Owen Hart Cup. How does he prepare for a question mark? Hangman doesn’t know who this guy is, and he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to say, but he’s kinda doing something right now so excuse him. Hangman storms on down the hall and goes right into Swerve’s room!? Hangman asks Nana, “Where’s he at?!” Nana asks what the hell, and Hangman knows Nana knows, so he needs to sit his ass down! Nana sits down, and Hangman wants to make something perfectly clear! At Dynasty, Hangman was NOT trying to help Swerve, understand?
And next week, Hangman has his match in The Owen! So tell Swerve if he so much as thinks about getting in the way, Hangman will pick up with him where they left off. Hangman then turns to go, but Nana has him hold on. There’s something he’s been wanting to tell Hangman for the last year. Nana can’t talk for Swerve, but Nana regrets what they did. Hangman tells Nana to stop! Not another word! Nana does not get that. Hangman storms off, not wanting an apology. Is Hangman that determined to hate someone?

The Aerial Assassin teamed with The Jet last week, and had a stellar match at Dynasty as part of the Owen Hart Cup. They team with Mark & Mike to make some bank, can they do it? Or will “Team Ricochet” be #OuttaThisWorld?
Dynamite returns as Briscoe makes his entrance, followed by this conglomeration of high-fliers. The teams sort out, and Bailey steps up so he can call out The One & Only. The fans cheer that, so Ricochet steps in. The bell rings, Bailey and Ricochet circle, but Ricochet keeps his distance, and he tags to Mortos!

AEW has an injury report on Adam Copeland.
After failing to dethrone the Death Riders as AEW World Trios Champions, FTR betrayed Cope and absolutely brutalized him! The Rated R Superstar is ruled out of action indefinitely, did Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler just end the career of a man they once called friend?
The Hurt Syndicate is here!
Baltimore cheers as Montel Vontavious Porter and the AEW World Tag Team Champions, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, head to the ring. There’s already quite the set up waiting for them: a table decked out with food and drink; a pedestal to rest the belts on; and a picture commemorating their victory. The fans cheer for MVP as he grabs the mic, and he says, “Ladies and gentlemen of the AEW viewing audience, this is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate. Punks jump up to get beat down. Two more challengers stepped up for the AEW Tag Team Championships, and two more challengers got beat down.”
The fans cheer, and MVP says if they would be so kind, please join him and his colleagues in a toast to celebrate yet another successful title defense. They take the bottles of champagne from the bucket of ice, and the fans chant, “We Hurt~ People!” They raise their glasses, but then MJF makes his way out here! Maxwell Jacob Friedman smiles, has a mic in hand already, and he goes right to the ring. MJF apologizes and then stands in line beside Shelton. The fans are torn, Shelton chuckles, MVP smirks, but Lashley is not amused. Baltimore duels, “He’s Our Scumbag!” “NO, HE’S NOT!” MVP talks with Lashley to relax, but then MJF speaks.
“Look at us, huh? I don’t know if you’ve heard, but we hurt people, baby! This is great, this is great. Guys, look at us, huh? Dripping in gold! You’re welcome, by the way. I couldn’t be happier. This couldn’t have come at a better time, mind you. Because that guy, Tony Khan, he wanted me to do the Owen Hart Cup Tournament? So I could what? Sweat my balls off, break my back, wrestle every week like some shmuck! I don’t think so, Maryland. See, I work smarter, not harder. And now that I’m rolling with The Syndicate? Whew! Daddy gets to cut the line and get back what is rightfully mine, and that is the Triple B, baby!”
The fans cheer, MVP chuckles, and MJF says this is a perfect fit! He scratches their backs by helping them maintain their tag team titles, because let’s face it, without his help, woof. And now, they help little ol’ MJF! Everyone wins! So, Montel, serious question, how does the initiation work? Does he sign a contract? Or is it an old school blood brothers thing? Lashley tells MJF to shut up. “Shut your freakin’ mouth!” Everyone saw what MJF did! When Lashley turned around and saw Big Bill standing, Lashley cut him in half and finished it, cuz that’s what they do. Now MJF tried to help, which was cute, but he didn’t get the job done.
So Max, this is yet another reason why they don’t need MJF! MJF says okay, cool. First, don’t point. Lashley says he’ll point at whoever he wants! They argue, but then Shelton & MVP step in. MVP tells Lashley to chill, Lashley says MJF will respect him! MVP wants Shelton to cool off, too, just give MVP a second. MVP tells MJF he knows how MVP feels about him. They go way back. Lashley & Shelton know that, too. So in order for MJF to join the Syndicate, he has to get three thumbs up. We already know how MVP feels, he is thumbs up. Shelton? MJF says yeah, they go way back, too! Shelton’s answer is thumbs… DOWN!
MJF thought they were cool! Lashley says thank you, Shelton. That’s two to one, the motion is denied. Lashley & Shelton head out, MJF turns to MVP, and MVP shrugs. The Syndicate heads out, not bothering with The Scumbag. What must MJF do to get what he wants?
Backstage interview with Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford.
Renee is with The Megasus & The Superbad Girl, and says she wanted to catch up on how they’re feeling after what was honestly, a surprising loss at Dynasty. Ford says that was just a taste of defeat. But it changes nothing. “Everything that this woman has been through is what? Just erased all because Toni Storm barely survived? No. Everything is just gonna get worse. This division cannot move on, because she won’t let it. She’s gonna be at Collision. And she doesn’t care who, she doesn’t care how many0” Megan brushes Renee aside to step forward, and she tells everyone, “I will make you bow down.” Ford says, “See what you did?”
The female titan of AEW was dominant before, and now she’s angry! Who will be destroyed all because Toni Storm still reigns?
Toni Storm is here!
Speaking of The Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion, she heads down to ringside to join commentary, as she wants to bear witness to this next match.
2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Kris Statlander VS Thunder Rosa!
The Galaxy’s Greatest and La Mera Mera almost had it out last week in just talking about this match-up and what it means. Kris wants to finally be THE champ, but Rosa wants back what she never truly lost. Who wins here to prove they are the best bet on winning the Cup?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two tie up, go around, and Kris waistlocks. Rosa fights the lift, then fights with elbows, then arm-drags Kris down for a wristlock. Kris fights up, rolls, and wrenches to headlock. Rosa powers up and out, but Kris runs her over! Kris flexes, Toni says if she was Kris’ teammate, they could be #ThunderThighs. But if Toni teamed with Schiavone, well, they’d just be #Tits. Rosa runs up on Kris, waistlocks, then slips past her, only for Kris to drop down and hurdle over. Rosa stops herself to avoid the powerslam, then Oklahoma Rolls! TWO, and Rosa wheelbarrows to arm-drag! Rosa has the armlock, but Kris fights around.
Kris rises up, powers Rosa to a corner, and the fans cheer. Kris lets off, CHOPS Rosa, then whips corner to corner. Rosa reverses, Kris goes up and over and arm-drags! Then she SHOTGUNS Rosa down!

Rosa reloads and runs again, DROPKICK through the ropes! The fans fire up while Rosa goes to the apron.

Both women are down and the fans duel! Rosa goes to the outside, the ring count starts, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The Don Callis Family speaks.
Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita stand behind Don Callis himself as he says, “All signs are pointing and all roads are leading to a Proto-shita final for the Don Callis Family in the Owen Hart Tournament. I mean, the Protostar here, he already beat that degenerate, Mark Briscoe. And even though Brody King got one over on the Don Callis Family when he beat Lance Archer, I can tell you, my word, it shan’t happen again! Because we’ve got valuable intel, and you’re in the ring, Brody King, with The Alpha. Look at these two! I mean, in their 20s, jacked, oiled up, hot! The talk of the town! Very healthy young men.
“Y’know who’s not healthy? A couple other members of the Don Callis Family. So I’m gonna put it out there officially tonight: The Don Callis Family, given the rash of injuries that has taken place, is now accepting potential new members. Send your résumé, send your picture, send your bank account number, because as these guys have proven, this is straight to the top.” Callis is expanding his stable, who will accept his offer? And will Takeshita make it through the King of Death this Saturday on Collision?
The Undisputed Kingdom speaks.
Kyle O’Reilly says, “There’s been a lot of ups and downs for us in AEW, boys. And since I joined the Undisputed Kingdom, we’ve been chasing that one moment to kick things off. And the TNT Championship tells the world what we already know: We are the elite of the elite, and watch us as we collect moment after moment after moment.” Roderick Strong says, “Speaking of moments, Kyle, I think it’s about time that we have our moment.” Adam Cole tells Roddy that they will. “Because excellence is not just defined by your successes. Excellence is defined by how you handle your failures.
“The past two years, I’ve been through hell and back. They were two of the most challenging years not just in my career, but in my life. And now I stand before you the Face of TNT, your NEW AEW TNT Champion. And trust me when I tell you, this is just the start for the three of us. Because it’s a new era in All Elite Wrestling, because we… We are the paragons, and that is Undisputed.” Cole, Kyle & Roddy are ready, will they redefine what it is to be All Elite?
Chris Jericho is here!
The former ROH World Champion goes to the ring, where he has his podium, prop trees and TV set up. Jericho has the mic to say, “I am the legendary Chris Jericho, but I am no longer the ROH World Champion.” The fans cheer that! Jericho says he lost his match, he lost a tooth, and he lost his title. And while that is disappointing, he will give credit where credit is due. Congratulations, Bandido, you pulled it off. After months of conflict with one of the greatest pro-wrestlers of all time, Jericho, Bandido was finally victorious. Bandido won the title and saved his mask, but of course with the assistance of his intrusive siblings and his stooge of a mother!
But Jericho gets it. Bandido has his familia, and Jericho has his. Jericho will bring them out now: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith! The Redwood & The Bad Apple make their way out now, and they’re just as upset given they also lost on Sunday. Bill & Keith step into the ring to join Jericho, and Jericho says he was hoping they’d all have titles here tonight. He was hoping they would win the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Dynasty. But they didn’t, did they? That’s why Jericho- Bill stops him?!
Bill grabs his own mic while the fans cheer him on, and Bill says, “Look, Chris, I already know what you’re gonna say. You’re angry, and you have every right to be angry. I’m angry. In fact, I’ve been getting real angry a lot as of late.” Keith wants Bill to stop, but Bill says no, Jericho needs to hear this. Bill knows Keith knows this, too, because they’ve talked about this. Keith is still conflicted, but Bill tells Jericho that Bill has the utmost respect for Jericho. Jericho is one of the greatest of all time. Jericho is one of the most decorated performers in the history of this industry. The fans do cheer that, and Bill says that is why he joined The Learning Tree.
Bill wanted to learn from Jericho. But… Bill did not sign up to be Jericho’s punching bag whenever things go wrong. The fans cheer that! Jericho has a bit of a smirk, and Bill says if he and Keith are out here because Jericho is going to teach them something, then by all means, go ahead and teach. But if they are just here so Jericho can berate and humiliate them, then let Bill know right now, so Bill can leave. And Bill knows Bryan feels the same way. Jericho steps closer to Keith and asks if that’s true. Because that isn’t why Jericho brought them out here. If that’s what they think, then they do have a lot more to learn than he thought.
Jericho believes in them. And when he said he wanted them to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships, he meant that, because he cares about both of them. He handpicked both of them to stand by him to teach them, help them, and believe him, he doesn’t have to help anyone in AEW if he doesn’t want to. But they have potential. They’re future world champions! That is why their victories are his victories, and their failures are his failures. And that is why Jericho is empathetic to Bill when Bill was not there when Jericho needed him most! Jericho lost the ROH World Championship, and Bill wasn’t there!
Some might go so far as to say it was Bill’s fault that Jericho lost! The fans boo, this is clearly the berating Bill spoke of. Bill tries not to react, but Jericho says he isn’t saying that. He doesn’t believe that at all. It is okay, because he is not angry. Just disappointed. Jericho SMASHES his TV with Floyd the Baseball Bat! Jericho again says, “I’m not angry, just disappointed.” And then SMASH goes the TV! SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! Then he goes after the trees! Jericho keeps saying, “I’m disappointed! I’m disappointed! I’m disappointed! I’M EFFING DISAPPOINTED!” And unlike Nick Jackson earlier, Jericho does say the full word.
The fans boo and Bill glares at Jericho. Jericho says he is disappointed in them, and until they change that, it is best that he leaves. Jericho pushes his podium over, storms out of the ring, and the fans sing, “Hey Hey Hey~! GOODBYE~!” If this is disappointed, what would angry even look like? Keith and Bill are upset, but in different ways. What happens to The Learning Tree if The Nueve is going to be MIA?
Anthony Bowens speaks.
It was after the huge return at Dynasty during the Zero Hour that the Pride of Pro-Wrestling said, “I’m finally free of the shackles that is Max Caster. The Five Tool Player has finally arrived. I’ve got five tools, and one rule: And that’s to prove them wrong.” Bowens returns to AEW TV as he takes on Blake Christian this Saturday, will the Vanilla Baby survive this Collision?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Almost a week after the brutal beating they gave Adam Copeland, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler will be in Springfield, Mass to speak on #WhyFTRWhy. Will their answer be satisfactory? Or simply self-serving?
Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.
Alicia Atout has caught up with MVP, Lashley & Shelton to bring up the interactions with MJF. Where do things go from here? Lashley asks why they’re even talking about MJF. Everyone knows MJF is not to be trusted, and then after what he said out there tonight? Lashley does not like MJF, and the Syndicate does not need MJF. Shelton agrees there. They don’t need anybody else. Though, “Lil’ George Costanza is pretty funny.” Lashley rolls his eyes and storms off, Shelton says he’ll go talk to him. MVP says they’re just trying to figure out- Wait, someone knocks on the door. MVP says come in, and it’s MJF!
MJF tells Alicia, “Honey, this is an AB conversation, so why don’t you C your skank ass outta here? Buh-bye, catch you around.” MJF apologizes to MVP that he had to see that, but he is just a little perturbed. Can he ask a question, plain and simple? Sure, go ahead. Does MJF look like a “female dog” to him? MVP wants MJF to get to the point. MJF’s point is, why does he always end up treated like some punk b*tch!? Do these guys not know who he is? He’s M J F! MVP has MJF stop there. That’s the problem: They know exactly who MJF is. MJF’s reputation precedes him. But this is business, and in the world of business, you get your consumer, find out what they want, and give it to them.
MVP heads out, and MJF thinks on that. Will he figure out what the supply and demand for the Hurt Syndicate is?
Jericho is in the parking lot.
He storms around, and he takes out his “disappointment” on some spare sodas before getting into his car. The driver takes it away, when and where will we see The Learning Tree again?
Samoa Joe & Hook VS Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta!
While Jon Moxley beat Shibata earlier tonight, Swerve did take out The Bastard soon after. The rest of The Opps take on the rest of The Death Riders, who will it be that’s caught lacking here tonight?
The teams sort out, Joe starts against Yuta, and the fans rally behind the Samoan Submission Specialist. The two circle, Yuta waistlocks, but Joe wrenches out and wristlocks. The fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” but Yuta rolls, only for Joe to wrangle him. Yuta fights up, spins and works on the grip, but Joe wrangles him again. Yuta kips up, spins, rolls, and fires a forearm! Joe lets Yuta go, but he’s more mad than anything. Yuta runs off before Joe can take a swing! The fans boo but Yuta wants the ref to back Joe off. The ref has Joe step back, then Yuta slides in. Yuta tags Claudio and the fans boo more.
Joe smirks as now the Swiss Cyborg steps in. Joe and Claudio knuckle lock, then Claudio kicks low! Claudio UPPERCUTS, UPPERCUTS again, but Joe CHOPS! And JABS! JABS! JABS! Joe fires JAB after JAB, then whips Claudio to a corner. Joe runs up, ELBOW and PELE! Claudio sputters along the ropes but Joe bumps him off buckles. Tag to Hook and the Opps mugs Claudio. Hook fires body shots then clinches, but Claudio CLUBS him, then scoops and SLAMS him! Tag to Yuta, Yuta climbs up, and Yuta CROSSBODIES but Hook says nope! Yuta belly flops on the mat, then Hook waistlocks for a deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX!
Hook holds on, to GERMAN SUPLEX again! And GERMAN SUPLEX again! The fans fire up for Hook while Yuta flounders to the corner. Tag to Joe and Joe JABS, CHOPS, and repeat! The fans cheer as Joe then snapmares Yuta, CHOPS him on the back, and KICKS him in the front! Joe runs to ELBOW DROP! Tag to Hook, he runs up to fire knees. Hook puts Yuta in a corner and fires body shots! Hook whips corner to corner, Yuta reverses, but then Hook puts Yuta on the apron. Hook ROCKS Yuta, Yuta falls to the floor, but then Yuta grabs a foot! The ref reprimands as Yuta trips Hook, but Hook kicks free! Only for Claudio to APRON DOUBLE STOMP!
The ref reprimands while Hook writhes, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Yuta storms back in and brings Hook up. Yuta CHOPS Hook, but Hook CHOPS in return! Yuta CLAWS Hook’s eyes, tags Claudio, and they double whip Hook to then DOUBLE BOOT! Yuta soaks up the heat while Claudio glares at Joe. Joe warns Claudio, but Claudio drags Hook around into a top wristlock. Claudio grinds Hook down with that wristlock, but Hook fights up. Claudio knee slow, KNEES Hook again, then shoves him to the corner. Claudio stomps Hook down, argues with the ref, but that lets Yuta CHOKE Hook! Joe protests, the ref is busy with him now, so Yuta gets away with it. Claudio smothers Hook, KNEES him low, then tags Yuta.
Yuta runs up to stomp Hook, then brings him around. Yuta talks trash on Baltimore, but Hook fires body shots! Yuta KNEES low, hooks a leg, and hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Yuta doesn’t care as he just clamps onto a foot. Yuta drags Hook around, YANKS the leg, then tags Claudio. Claudio stomps Hook, then smothers him with a chinlock. Hook endures, even as Claudio grinds him down. Hook fights around, fights up, and he fires body shots. Claudio shifts to a SLEEPER, but Hook still fights. Hook reaches out for Joe, Joe reaches out for Hook, but Claudio shifts around to have a COBRA CLUTCH!
The fans rally as Hook fights up, and he has Claudio as a backpack! Hook stomps forward, but Claudio slips down and THROWS Hook down! Claudio then UPPERCUTS Hook to the corner! Tag to Yuta, he drags Hook up and snapmares for a chinlock of his own. Hook endures all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally for Hook and they taunt Yuta, but Yuta leans on the hold. Hook fights to his feet, fires body shots, then he SAYANAGIS free! But Yuta comes back for a PAIN THRILLER! Cover, TWO! Yuta tags Claudio, Claudio scuffs Hook, then Claudio eggs Hook on. “Who’s the man?”
Claudio shoves Hook to the corner, but Hook ROCKS Claudio, ELBOWS Yuta, and repeat! Hook hurries for his corner but Claudio catches him with a clinch. Claudio KNEES low, then whips Hook to the corner. Claudio storms up, but Hook clinches! CORNER EXPLODER! The fans fire up while both men are down! Hook crawls, but Yuta is right there, Claudio tags Yuta in! Yuta runs to BLAST Joe! The fans boo but Hook catches Yuta! EXPLODER! Hook crawls, as does Yuta, but Joe’s still down! Yuta tags Claudio, Claudio runs at Hook, UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO! Hook survives but Claudio drags him back up!
Tag to Yuta, and Yuta climbs! Claudio hauls Hook up, DOOMSDAY POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO?!?! Hook survives and shocks The Death Riders! They argue with the ref, but Joe rises to the apron! Only for Claudio to slide out, YANK Joe down, and throw forearms! Joe fires in return and the fans fire up! Joe whips, Claudio reverse, Joe hits railing! Claudio runs up, but into an URENAGE to the floor! Yuta drags Hook up, but Hook standing switches and clamps on! REDRUM!! No, Yuta is fighting it, and here comes Moxley! The ref has Moxley back off, but this lets Yuta CLAWS Hook’s eyes! The fans boo but Moxley does his part.
Moxley has a chair, he tells Yuta to finish this, but SHIBATA returns! He has Moxley in a SLEEPER! The fans fire up as Moxley flails! REDRUM for Yuta!! Joe has Claudio, COQUINA CLUTCH!! The Opps have the Death Riders all caught! Yuta TAPS, Opps win!!
Winners: Samoa Joe & Hook, by submission
They truly are #NeverLacking! Joe, Hook and even Shibata had the grit to tough it out and take the win! Shibata’s even putting the Maniac AEW World Champion to sleep! But Marina Shafir slithers in, chair in hand! She CHOP BLOCKS Joe! Yuta CLOBBERS Hook, Claudio is back to help mug Hook! The fans boo, Shibata hurries to help his guys, but Claudio fires shots! Yuta joins in to TOSS Shibata out! Claudio has the chair, sits it upside-down, and he reels Hook in! GOTCH NEUTRALIZER onto the chair legs!! Hook is all but skewered on those, and now The Death Riders run away before Joe can get them!
The fans boo, but what did anyone expect from the dastardly, no good Death Riders? Joe is the only one standing, and he has a mic to shout, “DEATH RIDERRRS~! You cowardly SOBs! You see, the Opps came to Baltimore to give you a fist fight! And it seems like the Death Riders are acting more like a bunch of D*CK RIDERS right now, to come out here and do what they want!” The fans fire up behind Joe, and Joe says they make it real simple! The Opps VS The Death Riders, and they’re coming for the AEW World Trios Championships!! Joe has thrown down the challenge, will The Death Riders have no choice but to accept?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite for the follow-up to Dynasty, but something promo wise must’ve gone long because the main event needed most of that overrun. Part of me thinks it was Kenny Omega with The Bucks. We got a good opening promo from Moxley that properly uses that Heel hypocrisy to act like he didn’t get saved by everyone in the Death Riders and The Bucks, and then we got a great match from Moxley VS Shibata. Moxley of course wins by using dirty tactics, but I liked the segue into The Bucks having their promo, which then brought out Kenny. Part of why this part took longer was cuz the fans were having too much fun chanting “Dookie.”
But there’s something about The Elite wanting to work with The Death Riders, but they’ve got Omega and Swerve opposing them, I wonder if Double or Nothing gets to have Anarchy in the Arena 2025. The Owen Hart Cup Finals determine a #1 contender to the world title, so Double or Nothing doesn’t have to have a world title match. Honestly, seeing as how Revolution and Dynasty basically had the same upsetting end to a world title match, Anarchy in the Arena would be a much better main event. Though, that really depends on what happens with The Opps and the trios titles. Honestly, The Opps better win those titles.
We got a great tag team main event, and while Joe & Hook win, Death Riders get the better of them with that beating. I really hope Pac is okay, his ankle scare might have been what wrapped his match against Swerve. If Pac’s ankle is still a concern, that’s perhaps all the more reason to take the trios titles off The Death Riders and put them on The Opps so that The Opps can carry those into Double or Nothing or even All In. Then Anarchy in the Arena can be Bucks, Okada, and at least Moxley, Claudio & Yuta, against Omega, Swerve, and certainly Hangman Page. Hangman had a great bit with Prince Nana, and they’re really taking this to interesting places. Swerve says he deserved what Hangman did, Nana wants to apologize for what Swerve did, and Hangman isn’t sure how to handle any of it.
Now, Hangman also said his Owen Hart Cup match is next week, and that complicates what some fans were hoping to see. Fans hoped Darby Allin would go All In (see how his name and the words work together?) but Darby wants to climb Mount Everest. Apparently that climb is either happening now or within the next week, meaning he’s not going to be available for the Wild Card position. Not sure who they could put in that spot, not sure why they had a Wild Card spot to begin with, but if it isn’t Darby, I feel like Hangman wins that to at least be a bit closer to the Cup. But with The Bucks back, I could see them pulling strings to try and help Hangman, he doesn’t like it, all the more reason he joins Swerve and Omega against The Elite.
Very good promo segment from The Hurt Syndicate with MJF. MJF just assuming he’s in was great, as was Lashley’s entire reaction to it. Not sure we needed that backstage promo, that could’ve been left for Collision. Also, I believe Alicia Atout is MJF’s newest girlfriend, so she clearly knew MJF would be misogynistic for the bit. Good promo from Undisputed Kingdom, or perhaps the Paragon? I feel like “Paragon” was floated around as a faction name a year or so ago, not sure they need to try that again. And surprisingly, a very good TV Time with Chris Jericho. I really liked Bill being blunt with Jericho, and then Jericho turning that around to be somewhat psycho was actually a good move, too. Can’t wait for Bill and Jericho to have it out, and for Keith to choose a side.
That was a great 8 Man Tag, with great promos, but like… Does a kayfabe “big cash prize” really have to be the reason? I suppose it’s TK’s best way of justifying such an assortment of wrestlers in a match, but it still seems really silly. They never really did that much with Top Flight & AR Fox after they won that Three Kings $300K battle royal. The gear didn’t change or improve that drastically, there was no promo/vignette where they had fun with the $300K, so why bother? Good promo from Don Callis, though, to hype up his guys in the Owen Hart Cup, and to open the door to new members. Maybe guys lost in the shuffle can finally do stuff on TV. Also, a shame about Mark Davis and Brian Cage, I hope those guys get well soon.
And great stuff in the Women’s Owen Hart Cup. Very good promo from all the other entries, and a great match from Kris VS Rosa. Toni on commentary is still good, but she really does like innuendos, doesn’t she? Maybe too much? I’m just a touch surprised Kris won, I thought they were going to give us Thunder VS Storm again, given Rosa never actually lost the title. They can still do that for Double or Nothing on the side while someone else wins the tournament, but Megan & Ford also had a very good promo. I figured with Dynasty that Megan would want a rematch, but maybe she has to go through Rosa to get it. Or maybe Triple Threat since the PPV is Double or Nothing?
