10 Man Elimination Tag Title Eliminator: The Super Elite VS Hangman Page & The Dark Order!
Fans go nuts as Hangman Page has an opening vignette. “What is it that makes a cowboy? It’s not the boots or the buckle. It’s not the chaps, it’s not the jeans. It’s not the lasso or the cattle. It’s not the horse or the saddle. You might think they’re all long gone, but you don’t need a hat to be a cowboy. A cowboy isn’t too busy to lend a hand to a partner. Not to proud to take one, either. And when they get knocked to the dirt, bloodied and trampled, a cowboy dusts themselves off and gets back up. And they’ll stand by their partners and challenge those who have it all. And they’ll keep riding ’til they find inner peace.”
Spotlights go up one at a time to reveal Colt Cabana, Alan Angels, Preston Vance, Evil Uno, Stu Grayson, John Silver and Alex Reynolds. And up the middle is Hangman himself! The posse rolls together to the ring as Hangman wears the Dark Order purple and black! But now, “The starting line-up for your world champion Elite Squad!” At guard, Karl Anderson! The man in the middle, Doc Gallows! Forwards, Nick “Trick Shot” Jackson and “Mr. Instant Replay,” Matt Jackson! And the only person from NOOOOORTH CAROLINA, Kenny “Air” OOOOOOOOOMEEEEGAAAA! So they’re Space Jamming now? And they run through the banner to do slam dunks in the honestly non-regulation hoop. But will Hangman and his partners create their own new legacy?
The teams sort out and Hangman starts. Omega says if Hangman wants him, he’ll have to wait! Fans are thunderous for “COWBOY S*IT” as Anderson steps to Hangman. Anderson and Hangman tie up, Hangman headlocks but Anderson powers out, only for Hangman to run him over. Things speed up, Anderson leaps but into Hangman’s arms for a FALL AWAY SLAM! Fans fire up even more but the Bucks talk trash, and that allowed Omega to blindside Hangman! But the Dark Order rushes in and it is chaos! There’s brawling all over, The Elite get control and Gallows mugs Stu. The Elite call for it, but the Dark Order hits QUADRUPLE PLEXES!
The Elite bails out, the Dark Order chases after, and Reynolds climbs up. Nick goes after him but Reynolds trips him up! Reynolds gets Nick up to SUPERPLEX out onto everyone! Fans are thunderous as they lose their minds over that shot from downtown! Hangman gets Anderson up and into the ring, CHOPS him, and tags in Reynolds.

Hangman put up the most valiant effort of AEW history, but he and the Dark Order could not defeat The Elite! And now, they have no clear route to the titles! Is there no stopping Omega and the Bucks in their reigns of terror?
Backstage interview with PAC.
Alex Marvez points out that this was meant to be a Death Triangle interview, but obviously the Lucha Brothers aren’t here. No, no, no. That’s where you’re wrong! Rey Fenix & Penta El Zero M are here, but the lads are stuck at the airport because someone has cancelled their car ride here. Pac wonders who that could be. And with that, Andrade El Idolo and Chavo Guerrero walk in and sarcastically compliment Pac. Pac looks great but is lonely. The Lucha Bros are having trouble? Well that’s alright, Andrade’s people can get Pac’s people a limousine. Oh sorry, Pac probably doesn’t know what those are. Limos are like really long cars that people ride in.
So the Lucha Bros are on their way, and in style! Chavo promises. Andrade tells his “little friend” he should learn to drive, and also learn that there are people out there just better than him. Because if Pac doesn’t, the Lucha Bros could always work for someone else. For who? Who knows. Andrade heads out, but will Fenix & Penta stay loyal to The Bastard?
Taz is on a special platform.
Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Give it up for the NEW FTW World Champion, from New Orleans, Louisiana, it is Absolute Ricky Starks! Starks and the rest of Team Taz head out and there’s a New Orleans brass band playing him to the ring with The Saints Go Marching In! There’s even a young lady to give Starks a bouquet of roses and a kiss! Orange roses to match the title? Starks lets Hook hold onto the flowers as he gets a mic. Give it up for the band there, they were great. If Hobbs was here, he’d be loving it, but the Powerhouse is recruiting.
But two weeks ago, history was made in Austin, Texas when Starks became the NEW FTW Champion, and got rid of the garbage that is Brian Cage. Now listen up, Cage. Starks has been the glue and the anchor of Team Taz because he knows his part. Starks can let certain things slide, like when Cage was in the back vanity searching himself and trying to befriend every Tom, Dick ‘n’ Harry online while Starks was covering up the problems Cage caused. Starks can forgive that, he’s a good man. And when Cage was costing the team matches, that Starks can forgive. But what Starks can’t forgive and forget is that when Starks broke his neck, Cage didn’t even check up on him!
And when Cage didn’t check up on Starks, Starks realized Cage is just selfish, inconsiderate and doesn’t know what “Teamwork” means. Starks does! Starks also knows what it is to be a star, something Cage has been trying to figure out for the past 17 YEARS. “And when they stood you next to me, you still couldn’t get an ounce of charisma to rub off on you!” Week after week, Cage- Wait, Cage is heading out now! Starks grows very worried, as does Taz. Cage CLOBBERS the band! He takes the bass drum and SMASHES it on the drummer! And he takes the trombone into the ring to BREAK it! Starks throws the roses at Cage and runs away!
Cage glares as Starks and Hook get up the ramp to the stage. Will The Machine look to absolutely crush Starks and take back the FTW title?
AEW hears from NJPW’s Ace!!
“This is New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Master of the Century, Hiroshi Tanahashi. I’ve gotta say, the IWGP US Heavyweight Championship has quite a charm to it. I’ve won a lot of titles in my career so far, but I’ve never been the US Champ. So I’ll be challenging the winner of tonight’s title match! And I’ll be taking that title in a snap.” Big news and a big challenge issued by Tanahashi! Will it be the Murderhawk Monster or Bullet Club’s towering Tongan that gets to accept it?

Tony Schiavone interviews Britt Baker & Rebel.
The AEW Women’s World Champion says that Nyla Rose has proven twice now that she does break bitches. But unfortunately for Nyla, Britt is the Baddest Bitch on the Block, and she made the Native Beast tap out with a broken freakin’ wrist! And Britt isn’t dumb, she keeps getting hurt. Reba/Rebel got hurt because she keeps protecting Britt from everyone gunning for her. So Britt says it is appropriate to find someone to help cover them both, because it sure as hell isn’t any of the fans.
Everyone watching live and at home, as long as Britt wears the title, they wear jealousy. You’re all sitting there, holding your breath, waiting for her to fail. You’re going to suffocate. Yours Truly, Britt Baker, DMD. But if Britt’s ego keeps growing, will it just make the target on her back bigger?
AEW returns with Schiavone on the stage.
“It is great to be back home in Charlotte, North Carolina. Fans, we have a very special announcement on behalf of Tony Khan and AEW. As you know, Rampage will debut on Friday night, August 13th. We now have another special announcement for Rampage. The very next week, Friday, August 20th, Rampage comes to Chicago at the United Center, for ‘The First Dance!'” Tickets on sale this Monday! Fans chant “CM PUNK!” in hopes that Chicago’s own will be there for that. Schiavone then throws it over to Alex Marvez backstage.
Marvez interviews Darby Allin & Sting!
He brings up the huge news about AEW going to Chicago for #TheFirstDance, and Darby says he’ll be there. Darby’s been around a lot of men in the world who have claimed to be the greatest. There’s only one place to really prove that: right here in AEW. “Even if you think you’re the Best in the World.” A not so veiled challenge from the Relentless One! Will Darby look to test himself against a certain straightedge?
IWGP United States Championship: Lance Archer w/ Jake the Snake Roberts VS Hikuleo!
The Ace has made it known he wants a shot at this title! But after that hellacious Texas Deathmatch with Jon Moxley, the Murderhawk Monster is ready to topple even a towering Tongan! But Hikuleo has a surprise for us all: his father, KING HAKU, is here! Will having one of the toughest men in the business in his corner help Hikuleo take this title and go after Tanahashi?

#EverybodyDies, but retaining his title means Archer gets to aim at the Ace! Will the Once in a Century Talent be able to overcome the Murderhawk Monster and add this title to his incredible résumé? Or will Archer add Tanahashi to the list of great talent he has toppled?
Alex Marvez interviews Cody Rhodes.
The American Nightmare is backstage at the gorilla position, and gets off his headset as Marvez brings up Dynamite Homecoming, Cody VS Malakai Black. Cody says, “So much happening in our world-” MALAKAI ATTACKS! He DECKS Cody right next to Tony Khan, then drags him up to bring him around and throw into road cases! Cody hits back but they brawl up the steps towards the stage! Fans fire up as this brawl ends up ringside! Cody hits the Rhodes Uppercut! But Malakai gets right up to KNEE Cody down! Fans are fired up for “MALAKAI!” as he crouches by Cody. “You hear them? Welcome to the House of Black.” Will the Dark Father end the American Nightmare at Daily’s Place?
As Malakai still stands over Cody, security and other wrestlers run out to check on Cody. Malakai grabs Fuego Del Sol to give him a BLACK MASS!! Referees shout at Malakai to leave but he stays on stage, watching Fuego and Cody menacingly. Will there be anything left of Cody after Dynamite’s Homecoming?
Miro speaks.
“The TNT title is known for giving an open challenge. But ever since I won it, suddenly all these challengers have dried up. But next week, God’s Favorite Champion will fight! But not because Lee Johnson asked for it, but rather he was tricked with prizes and competitions.” Miro sees Johnson’s talent, but he cannot take Miro’s divine right away from him! No one can, and we all know it! Miro is a simple man that is motivated by two things: a vengeful God and a double jointed wife. So if you think you have what it takes, you can run away or face Miro like a man. But either way, a glorious reckoning is upon you! This is the word of the Redeemer!
QT Marshall sends a note to Schiavone.
Despite how adamant The Factory’s leader was about apologizing to Schiavone for pouring the protein shake on him, QT has decided to wait until next week. That way, the entire Schiavone family could be there to witness the apology. How “benevolent” of him, but will QT actually follow through for Dynamite’s Homecoming?

AEW hears from Nick Gage.
“Chris Jericho, what do you think you’re gonna do to me tonight that hasn’t been done to me before? Barbed wire, light tubes, I’ve been through it all! And I’m here tonight to make sure you don’t see labor number three. Because I’m the Deathmatch King! I’m gonna leave you in pain! I’m gonna leave you all cut up! You’re gonna look in that mirror and you’re gonna know that Nick Gage did that to you. You are gonna be feeling pain for the rest of your life! MDK, all day!”

La Mera Mera is finally All Elite, but that only means the real work begins! Will she take the two-time World Cheerleading Champion seriously and add her to the win streak?
The bell rings, the two circle, and fans rally for Rosa. Rosa and Julia tie up, Rosa headlocks and hits a takeover. Julia moves around and headscissors but Rosa kips free.

Fans fire up as Rosa digs her boot into Julia. The ref counts, Rosa lets off and she gets Julia back up to throw forearms!

AEW has more in store for Dynamite Homecoming!
Not only will Malakai take on Cody and Miro defend his TNT Championship against Big Shotty Lee Johnson, there will be an NWA Women’s World Championship Contender’s Match! The Bunny takes on #LEGIT Leyla Hirsch, the winner moving on to take on Serena Deeb! Then, after that blindside attack, The Blade must now face Christian Cage fair and square! Matt Hardy has Blade’s back but Jungle Boy has Christian’s! Will Captain Charisma break The Blade’s edge as AEW returns to Daily’s Place?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Last time you saw me, I was crawling out of a pit of barbed wire well. That’s all good, that’s easy money, that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I’m here to talk about last night, when I’m sitting at the airport bar, and I look up at the TV and I’m watching the Olympics, and I wonder, ‘How the hell did the French and the Croatian water polo teams get into Japan when I can’t?'” Moxley has business in Tokyo, from challenges going unanswered to his contracts being sent back unsigned to phone calls being unanswered.
And then the second Moxley no longer has the IWGP US Championship around his waist, now Tanahashi wants to put his pretty little face on TV, show up on Dynamite with his stupid little side ponytail. Tanahashi’s been dodging Moxley for months, but the people don’t know that. In that case, screw Tanahashi! Tanahashi’s dead to Moxley. Moxley sent his boy, Charlie, to FedEx with a stack of contracts and told him to send it to the boys in the NJPW office. We’ll see what comes through “the fOrBiDdEn DoOr~!” Moxley IS the forbidden door!
And Tanahashi, maybe you’re the only smart one here. Maybe he learned from his boys, Nagata and Suzuki, what happens. Forbidden doors might be open, but nothing good is waiting for them on the other side. Tanahashi wants the US title, Archer has it, will The Ace get the gold so that Moxley can hit two birds with one Paradigm Shift?
Five Labours of Jericho, Chapter 2 – No Rules Match: Chris Jericho VS Nick Gage!
The Demo God made it through The Chair Man and that didn’t sit well with Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Round two really raises the stakes as MJF brings in the #MDKGang leader, but Jericho is ready. He sees MJF’s ringer and raises him one PAINMAKER! Will either man even survive tonight? Or can Jericho overcome the Deathmatch king to make it into chapter three?
Jericho still revels in the fans singing Judas for him, but he gets serious as Gage makes his way to the ring. MJF then joins commentary to make sure Jericho does this on his own. He even has popcorn! The bell rings and Gage has his pizza cutter already! They circle, and Gage swipes at Jericho and catches Jericho on the arm! Jericho is bleeding but not too bad. MJF revels in that, and the brawl is on! Jericho made Gage drop his cutter and he throws hands. Jericho runs but into a SPINEBUSTER! Fans rally and duel as Gage paces. Gage runs to BOOT WASH Jericho in a corner! Jericho bails out, Gage goes out and runs in around the way to fire forearms!
Gage headbutts, Jericho staggers, but Gage taunts fans and Jericho throws hands back! Jericho whips Gage into railing! Jericho gets Gage into the ring, the one rule in this match is to win in the ring. Jericho climbs but Gage throws hands! Gage climbs up to join Jericho, and hits a SUPERPLEX! Gage holds on to get Jericho back up for a FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO! Jericho survives as fans rally and duel even harder! Gage grins as Jericho gets to a corner. Gage runs side to side again but Jericho trips him up! Jericho has the legs, turns Gage, WALLS OF JERICHO! Gage endures, MJF shouts, Gage gets the ropes but there’s no ropebreaks or disqualifications!
Gage drags himself, Jericho can’t hold on while they’re in the ropes, and Jericho lets Gage go. Gage tumbles to the floor, Jericho goes out after him and gets Gage up. Jericho throws headlock punches on Gage’s scarred scalp. But Gage RAMS Jericho into a post! Gage goes around the way to look under the ring, and he brings out… LIGHT TUBES!! MJF says, “Here we go, boys!” But Jericho has Floyd the Baseball Bat! They both get in the ring, armed with their favorites, and Jericho waits on Gage to turn around to CRACK him in the ribs! And on the back! MJF protests but this isn’t cheating in a No Rules Match!
Jericho is bleeding from the forehead, he CLUBS Gage with it, but Gage catches him for an URENAGE BACKBREAKER! MJF is happy again as Gage gets the PIZZA CUTTER back! Fans fire up as Gage brings the cutter over to Jericho, and SLICES INTO THE FOREHEAD!!! Even MJF is shocked! Fans call Gage, “YOU SICK F***!” as AEW goes picture in picture.
Gage revels in the fans calling him out for being sick, and he kisses the cutter, before he SLICES JERICHO UP MORE!! Gage lets off because he wants this torture to last the rest of the night! Jericho crawls, Gage eggs the fans on, and he gets Jericho on ropes to SLICE HIM UP MORE!! Jericho can only flail until Gage lets off and CLUBS him down! Gage goes out to fetch a chair, and then another chair, and then another chair. Gage gets back in with these chairs, gets his light tubes, and he waits on Jericho to get up. Jericho headbutts low and throws forearms! Gage kicks Jericho down, gets a chair and presses it down on him, before an elbow drop!
Gage goes back out to look under the ring again. There’s no more chairs but he makes a ring crew guy help him find something. The ring crew guy gets a PANE OF GLASS! Gage SMACKS Jericho on the back with a chair, and AEW returns to single picture as Gage puts chairs together. Gage gets the glass onto the chairs to make a makeshift glass table. Gage drags Jericho to be under the glass, and goes up top! But Jericho gets up to CLUB Gage! MJF panics as Jericho lines up the shot! Jericho climbs up to the very top, rains down fists, MJF gets pissed, and then Jericho SUPER STEINERS Gage through the glass!!! Fans lose their minds as Gage writhes in pain!
MJF is stunned, he didn’t think Jericho would take it to this level. Jericho crawls and covers, TWO!! Gage wags his finger, he isn’t done yet! Jericho throws things out of the way, MJF vows Jericho loses, but Jericho SMACKS Gage with a chair. Gage shakes his head? Jericho runs in, but no Code Breaker! SPINEBUSTER on the glass shards! Gage gets his light tube again! And SMACKS one across Jericho’s back! MJF is so happy right now as Jericho takes a LIGHT TUBE HEADSHOT! Gage gets Jericho up to PILEDRIVER Jericho on glass shards! Cover, TWO!?!? Jericho survives and Gage is upset, but not as much as MJF.
Gage gets another light tube and just breaks it on his knee! Gage has a jagged piece of the tube and JABS it into Jericho’s forehead again and again! Gage breaks another tube to DIG it into Jericho’s face!! Gage goes out to bring out MORE light tubes from under the ring! He’s got some four packs and fans can’t even imagine what Gage is up to with these. Gage brings the packs in, runs at Jericho, but Jericho SPITS MIST?! Where’d he get that from!? Jericho gets the four pack and SMASHES it on Gage’s head! JUDAS EFFECT!! Cover, JERICHO WINS!!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall
MJF is pissed off all over again and ruins the celebration! “You gimps keep your mouths shut!” MJF tells Chris that as he sits there in more pain than he’s ever been in, listen to MJF. They both know Jericho can’t make it to wrestling MJF, Jericho’s a mess! Fans boo but MJF tells them to shut their mouths. Jericho won’t survive, especially not with what MJF has in store for Labour Number 3! MJF says the stipulation will be Jericho has to hit a move off the top rope to win. And as far as the opponent goes, unfortunately for Jericho, this guy’s known to hold a bit of a grudge. Roll tape.
Flashback to Dynamite, 11/13/19, Jericho said MJF looks like his parents “got horny while they were watching me beat up Juventud Guerrera 25 years ago on WCW Saturday Night, and nine months later, your little twerp ass popped out.” Who the hell is Juventud? Google it, kid. Back to the present, MJF says that was “one hell of a joke.” But unfortunately, MJF did google him! Labour Number 3 is against one of the greatest luchadors in pro-wrestling history, coming back to TNT after 15 years, all to face his oldest and most bitter rival! THE JUICE, JUVENTUD GUERRERA!! Fans go nuts at hearing that news, will Homecoming have the Juice to stop Jericho?
My Thoughts:
Wow, what a wild episode. First off, we didn’t get a lot of time on the No Rules Match but WOW everything that happened in it. It was like last week’s Texas Deathmatch, but condensed into the most brutal moments. It was natural for Jericho to make it through, but thinking about it, they should’ve tried to save this for a later labor. Unless they just couldn’t secure Juventud until now. I feel like they’re raising the bar so high, the fourth labor will be a letdown compared to these first three. Jericho will still find ways to win, so I can’t wait to see what top rope move Jericho dusts off to get the win.
Miro has a good promo going into the match he’ll definitely win against Lee Johnson, Britt had a good promo for herself, and Rosa of course beats Julia and I really hope they stay on track for an All Out match between Rosa and Britt. I am a little disappointed in how the story is going for The Elite and Hangman, though. I thought this was going to be the night where Hangman secures his shot for All Out, but that didn’t work out. We got great entrances from both teams, but I felt like that alone was why Dark Order should’ve won. Commentary made note that with Hangman out of the top five for now, Christian moving up, I almost dread that Christian gets his shot at All Out.
The Six Man of Christian & Jurassic Express VS HFO was very good, but I guess they’re trying to drag the feud out. Christian VS Blade is going to be good but I just feel like something is off in the pacing of this feud with Christian and Matt Hardy. FTR VS PNP was very good but it definitely seems Cash’s injury to his arm that was legit bleeding brought about a truncated version of the finish. Maybe these two teams go again and they’re all more careful with corner posts and bare skin. Cody getting jumped by Malakai was great stuff, as was Malakai striking down Fuego just because he could. Cody VS Malakai is going to be great, but again, I hope Malakai still stands tall.
Tanahashi having a message for the IWGP US Champion was a great surprise, but him throwing his hat in the ring definitely signaled to me that Archer was winning. Archer was still winning anyway, Hikuleo is promising but not at that level just yet. Getting to see Haku was great, though. But Moxley calling Tanahashi out was also pretty cool. It’d be a shame if Archer lost the title already but it just feels like Moxley VS Tanahashi is the big match for the title in the eyes of NJPW.
My Score: 9/10

Winner: Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW National Champion)
Talk about a handicap! Callis AND Ricochet gave Davis quite a considerable one, and now Davis has his first singles title in AEW! The Jurassic Express National Tour has just been run off the road, but will Jack be able to get his revenge?
Collision returns, and Jack Perry is on the phone.
He tells someone, “Let’s do it. Thank you, guys.” Jack ends his call, then shows his frustration. Winning the National Championship in his hometown, in front of his friends and family, was one of the proudest moments of his entire life. And yet Ricochet and Callis had to end that for him. But he happens to know that Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate are looking for two more partners for Stadium Stampede. And Jack go to thinking, the show is called Double or Nothing. So how about instead of two, Jack brings FOUR! The ELITE! Jack, The Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! See you there. Ricochet may have just messed himself over, will he regret ever getting involved tonight?
Backstage interview with Don Callis, Mark Davis and Ricochet.
Renee Paquette is with the Jackal, Dunkzilla and the Bald Eagle as she says she was going to congratulate Davis on the title win, but after Jack putting out that news, what is their reaction? Callis says he’s thrilled! Jack just gifted him his ultimate fantasy! A chance to beat up Jericho, The Bucks AND Kenny, all on one night? Callis would’ve paid good money for that, and Jack, you dumbass, just gave it away from free! Ricochet says The Don Callis Family must be joining The Demand for Stadium Stampede. Well, given the way Ricochet just used that golf club, the National Champion will gladly stand beside him!
Ricochet says playing golf with Tony Khan has really improved his swing, so see you all there. Callis says yes, let’s go have a drink at the 19th Hole and talk about which of the many members of the Don Callis Family are going to join Ricochet in the slaughterhouse! Ricochet says oh yes, so many great choices to choose from! Callis & Ricochet head out, just how massive will this Stadium Stampede match get?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: The Divine Dominion VS Ruthie Slay & Rachel Ley!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross are so dominant, they don’t even think this match is going to last five minutes! But while there’s a time limit, will there be no limit to how devastating the Megasus & Aussie Amazon can be? Or will Slay & Ley manage to survive the day?

Megan eggs Ley on, slaps her around, then drags her up. Megan fireman’s carries, but Slay manages to tag in! Slay runs up, but Megan scoops her! FALL AWAY SLAM SAMOAN DROP COMBO! They’ve made it two minutes but that might be all! Tag to Lena, she and Megan get Slay up, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (denies Slay & Ley a title opportunity)
Two minutes and 15 seconds is all Slay & Ley got, will any team last even that long? Or will the Divine Dominion continue to dominate AEW until the end of time?
BREAKING NEWS for Double or Nothing!
The Triangle of Madness may have misted Persephone and injured Alex Windsor, but that only heaps on more trouble for the champion! Thekla must now defend her AEW Women’s World Championship in a FATAL 4 WAY! Thekla VS Jamie Hayter VS Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida, is The Toxic Spider about to get squashed? Or will she need her Sisters of Sin now more than ever?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
The annual tradition is back! The 2026 Owen Hart Memorial Tournament begins, with the brackets for both men’s and women’s divisions to be announced on Wednesday! Who makes the cut? And who will become the King & Queen of Harts?
Don Callis speaks, again.
“Just moments away from the AEW World title match between Darby Allin and Pac, and gentlemen, just wanted to let you know that the Don Callis Family, no matter who wins tonight, the Don Callis Family will be waiting for the winner. This Wednesday on Dynamite, the Don Callis Family will take the AEW World title from one of you. And y’know, it’s already been a great night, a big night, for the Don Callis Family! We won gold, but can’t wait to get some more. And on the subject of that, Okada has had to go to Japan to take care of some very important family business. But don’t worry, lads, because I have someone in mind to take his spot this Wednesday in the world title match.
“And it is none other than the firstborn of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita, The Alpha!” Takeshita steps in, and Callis tells him, “You’re gonna be the world champion! If you listen to me like you always have, you will be successful, and you will finally fulfill the destiny that I had for you when I plucked you out of obscurity and made you the replacement for Kenny Omega. You’re the best wrestler in the world when you’ve got my game plan in your head. Go win the title.” Konosuke tells Don that he was going to take the International Championship, but now he is the person who will bring the world title back to the Don Callis Family! Unlike Okada.
Takeshita heads out, will he still make himself a double champion when he adds #PrettyPlatinum to the NJPW World Television Championship?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS Kiran Grey!
This match was on standby in case the Divine Dominion didn’t need all five minutes of their time, and now it’s a chance for Speedball to shine! But will he keep his momentum going from last Wednesday’s super show? Or will he get lost in the Grey Area?
Grey is already starting trouble as he pushes Bailey. The ref backs him off, then the bell rings. Grey runs up, but into a BOOT! Bailey then PENALTY KICKS, STANDING KNEE-SAULT, then Bailey waits on Grey. Grey ducks the buzzsaw and bails out! The fans boo but Bailey TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULTS! Down goes Grey and the fans fire up! Bailey daps it up with The Jet, then he climbs up the corner. But Grey goes after him! They brawl up top, Grey fires a flurry, but Bailey fires back! Bailey SHOVES Grey down, takes aim, but Grey hits the ropes! Bailey is tripped up onto his speedballs, but Grey dribbles him off the buckles!
Grey CLUBS Bailey into a Tree of Woe, then soaks up the heat before he stomps Bailey! Grey tells Bailey to stay down but Bailey grabs that leg! Bailey uses that to drag himself back up, and he ROCKS Grey again! Bailey dribbles Grey off buckles, then HEADBUTTS him! Grey falls, Bailey takes aim, ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
A fast win for Speedball, and Knight gets the mic. he says he likes that! Speedball is red hot right now. And though The Jet didn’t get two belts on Wednesday, he’s still the Face of TNT. Now, the future of AEW is wide open, so why not they make it to the top together? They shake hands on it, will JetSpeed shift gears to become a Two Man Power Trip? What belt(s) will they aim for next?
AEW World Championship No Count Outs Match: Darby Allin VS PAC!
Anticipating how wild this one can get given the nature of their grudge, AEW decided to remove some of the obstacles standing in their way. They can’t do anything they want, but they can definitely go anywhere they want here in the SoFi Center! But will Darby even up the career series between them? Or will it be 3-1 in favor of The Bastard?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who takes this belt to Dynamite!
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Darby. Darby hops outside already, and he goes around the crowd to be on the golfing green! This is No Count Outs, so he wants to take full advantage of it already! He dares Pac to join him, so Pac heads over to the green! They fire hands on the rough and the fans fire up! Darby ducks, fires hands then HEADBUTTS Pac down! Darby brings Pac up but Pac BACKDROPS Darby! Pac then brings Darby closer to the bunker! Pac suplexes, Darby fights free, and he fires hands! Darby runs up, CODE RED into the sand trap! The fans go nuts seeing what is surely the first one of those ever!
Pac gets himself out of the sand and ends up on the fairway. Darby pursues, runs up, and ROCKS Pac1 they’re near another sand trap, and Darby SHOTGUNS Pac into the sand! The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this madness a reality! Darby goes after Pac, but Pac throws sand in Darby’s eyes! Pac then hauls Darby up to BELLY2BELLY SUPLEX Darby into the sand trap! Darby sputters, but Pac clamps on the BRUTALIZER! The ref reprimands, this isn’t Falls Count Anywhere! But fans know “This is Awesome!” as Pac makes Darby suffer! Darby sputters again as Pac lets him go, then shakes out the sand in his boots.
Pac drags Darby up with a headlock, but then decides to fireman’s carry! And gorilla press to THROW Darby back into the bunker! The fans boo but Pac soaks up that heat. Darby sputters and coughs while Collision goes picture in picture.
Darby sputters as he sits up, but Pac brings him back around. Pac brings Darby around, dumps him down, and soaks up more heat. Pac then brings Darby along the fairway, CLUBS him on the neck, and stalks him as they return to the crowd. They then return to ringside, then the ring itself, and Pac covers, TWO! Darby toughs it out, but Pac stalks him to the corner. Pac uncovers a crossbar before he stands Darby up. Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Pac tiles the tag rope to Darby’s chain necklace! Darby can’t get free before Pac BOOTS him! The ref reprimands, but Darby SPITS at Pac! Pac takes that defiance and BOOTS Darby again!
Pac then has Darby’s legs, and YANKS him from the corner! The tag rope breaks and Darby flounders around. Pac whips to then BACKDROP Darby 450 degrees! Pac then builds up speed, but Darby avoids the lariat! The fans fire up as Darby slingshots back in and dragon sleepers for the SCORPION DEATH DROP! Cover, TWO! Pac and Darby are both down while the fans rally up again. Darby crawls to a corner, climbs up top, and he watches Pac rise. Pac turns around, but he manages to trip Darby up first! Pac then climbs up after Darby, hauls him up, and SUPER DUPER FALCON ARROWS! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and the fans fire up again!
Pac frowns while Darby flounders out of the ring. The fans rally for Darby while Pac takes his time going to the outside. Pac looks under the ring, and he brings out a table! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands, this isn’t No Disqualifications! Pac still sets the table up nearby, making sure it lines up with the corner. Pac puts Darby on the table, then climbs up said corner. The fans freak out, anticipating what Pac is planning, and he steadies himself as he takes aim. Pac SUPER SHOOTING STARS but only gets table!! Darby avoids disaster, and Pac is somehow still in this after his crash landing! Darby puts Pac in, trips him, and steps through!
The fans fire up as Darby steps over, SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! Pac endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep! Pac fights, claws, reaches out, and powers his way forward! ROPEBREAK! Darby lets Pac go, and Pac waves to the back. Well, of course The Death Riders are here! Darby spots Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia & Marina Shafir storming down the aisle, but then Pac CLOBBERS him! A distraction tactic is good enough as Pac now turns the proverbial tables. Then he signals for them to get something, and they bring out another table! The fans chant, “On The Green!” but Pac doesn’t care about that. He scoops Darby to go up the steel steps!
The fans boo as Pac tucks Darby in, TOMBSTONE on the steel steps! The fans go nuts as Darby flops to the floor! Wait, wait, wait, now The Death Riders have STACKED tables?! Pac smirks as he brings Darby back up, and he fireman’s carries Darby to bring him over. Darby goes to the backstage area while Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac carries Darby all the way around to the backstage area, because this is the only place to get upstairs! Pac SMACKS Darby off a wall on the way to the stairs, and the ref reprimands while Pac scares off curious fans. Pac drags Darby up the stairs with a headlock, and they go to the upper deck! Pac brings Darby past the nice bar and lounge area, the ref and Death Riders making sure fans don’t get too close. Pac SMACKS Darby off another wall, then drags Darby through this VIP seating area to go to the balcony. Pac stomps Darby to keep him down, then drags him to the balcony railing! And lo and behold, those stacked tables are right there!
The ref reprimands and the fans are freaking out already, but Pac is looking to toss Darby! Darby clings to the railing but Pac CLUBS him. Pac then drags Darby up, but Darby fires body shots! Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Darby fights desperately! Darby CLAWS Pac’s back, but Marina shouts at Darby! The ref keeps her back, but that lets Pac LOW BLOW Darby! The Problem continues to be just that, but also the insurance policy for the Death Riders! Pac stands Darby up, and THROWS him off!! Darby crashes down through the tables!!! The fans lose their minds all over again while Pac hurries to go back downstairs!
AEW medical staff is already checking Darby as he’s down in the wreckage, but Pac says screw that! He fireman’s carries Darby and puts him back in the ring! Pac covers, TWO!!! Darby survives and the fans are thunderous! Pac and The Death Riders are in shock! Pac falls back to a corner as he shakes his head. Pac argues with the ref, but 2.99 still isn’t 3! The fans rally for Darby, but Pac storms over to him. Pac looms over Darby, Yuta slides a chair into the ring, but the ref snatches it away! Only for Marina to slide the title belt in! Pac takes aim while Darby rises, but then Darby springs to life! Pac has seen a ghost, or maybe a zombie!
Pac winds up, but Darby LOW BLOWS! And BELT SHOTS!! Darby gets Pac in place, goes up top, COFFIN DROP!! Cover, DARBY WINS!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Pac said it himself, Darby is the indestructible boy! But can Darby keep this up? Or will The Alpha come through on his promise and bring this title back to the Don Callis Family this Wednesday?
My Thoughts:
A great hour of AEW here as this special edition of Collision, though “Fairway to Hell” is such a random thing to begin with. They must’ve made a business deal with SoFi and TGL, which to me might be more AEW helping TGL get noticed on a national scale. And changing the status quo with the National Championship was quite the surprise, but that’s still great for Davis. Ricochet being the reason why, and then that compelling The Elite jumping into Stadium Stampede is a bit convoluted. I get they’re using continuity of how Kenny hates Callis and vice-versa, but it undercuts what I was hoping for in Hurt Syndicate getting to introduce new members. But hey, 7v7 is pretty wild, too.
I appreciate Divine Dominion adding something to their squash matches with that five minute goal. Slay & Ley already set a good time with over two minutes, and I’m sure two minutes will be the average as they just dominate all summer. And it seems Alex Windsor is gonna be out a little longer than expected, given that adjustment for Double or Nothing. A Fatal 4 Way is still good for how Thekla can use her challengers against each other, or be protected in a loss if they choose. It also helps bring in the Shidalander story, but it also feels like we’re skipping chapters. That Fatal 4 Way can probably get us to the team breaking up and Shida turning on Statlander for their own feud.
Bailey VS Grey probably was a legit standby match, that went quick. And Knight had a decent promo saying he and Bailey are still gonna be JetSpeed going for all the gold. Not sure if that comes true or just sets things up for the team to fall apart. And then a really wild main event with the “No Count Out” match. They probably could’ve just called that No Holds Barred but they wanted to add heat on how The Death Riders were cheating the second half of that match. Both table spots were risky, but obviously Darby did the crazier one. AEW really needs to be careful not to push it much further than that, though.
Then the news of Okada being out for Dynamite, hopefully it’s nothing too tragic with his family. But Takeshita as the substitute is a good choice, this helps build the Okada VS Takeshita match at the same time as building Darby up. Pretty sure MJF accepts the terms of Title VS Hair, and it’d be very MJF if he were to announce that while attacking Darby to close the show on Wednesday.
My Score: 8.8/10

AEW mourns the loss of Ted Turner.
To remember the man who helped bring WCW to TNT, Tony Schiavone introduces the Icon of WCW, Sting! The fans cheer, and Sting hugs it out with Schiavone. Schiavone says here we are again. They both knew Ted Turner very, very well. He was a big part of their 40 year legacy, with a lot of memories of him, and surely Sting wants to share some. Sting takes the mic to say, “Can you imagine having an all-in billionaire who absolutely loved pro-wrestling? I’m talking about Ted. Big Ted. Big Ted, haha, yes. I can’t believe what he did for us. He was completely committed to us, devoted to us in every conceivable way.
“So much so, that when some of the top brass up there in CNN Towers would have their meetings with Ted, they’d say, ‘Ted, we don’t know about this pro-wrestling thing, it’s time to cut ’em off cuz we’re always in the red.'” The fans boo that notion, but Sting says Ted told the roster, “You wrestlers just keep on doing what you’re doing cuz I’ve got some deep pockets.” The fans cheer that! Sting says that’s shoot, that’s what Ted said. #ThankYouTed. And y’know, there wouldn’t be a TNT Championship, there wouldn’t be a Sting, a Darby Allin, a Tony Schiavone, or anyone else here tonight, so again, thank you, Big Ted.
The fans cheer, and Schiavone says speaking of Darby, he defends the AEW World Championship against the Turner Network Television Champion, Kevin Knight. What a match to have in memory of Ted tonight. Sting says that’s right. First of all, Sting & Darby took a blowtorch to AEW for three and a half years, and it felt great every single time! The fans cheer as Sting says it is great to be back in South Carolina! And it is great to know that Darby will wrestle for the world title tonight. The greatest tag partner Sting ever had! And Sting is also very thankful and grateful for a second all-in billionaire who wants to keep the ball rolling with AEW, and he’s talking about Tony Khan! Thank you, TK!
The fans cheer again, and Schiavone says that when you see the TNT Championship and TBS Championship belts, notice the side plates will have replicas of the studios from Techwood Drive, where it all started with the Turner Techwood Mansions. Tony Khan wanted those in honor of their past. Now, for his family, his friends, and all the lives he’s touched, tonight’s three hour block is now in memory of the maverick, Ted Turner. The crowd honors a moment of silence with ten rings of the bell, and then one more cheer of #ThankYouTed.
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Juice Robinson!
The Death Riders have their hands in many pots, from trying to grab momentum in the tag and trios divisions to rebuilding Will Ospreay from the ground up. But with that, the Bang Bang Gang scored a win off Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia last Saturday, and Rock Hard Robinson is calling out The Maniac! Will this Stray Bullet hit the bull’s eye? Or will Moxley keep his Continental Championship card clear?
The bell rings and the fans fire up as these two go forehead to forehead. They have twenty minutes to settle this, and North Charleston is fired up for Moxley as he fires a forearm. Juice fires back, they go back and forth, forearm for forearm! Moxley ROCKS Juice, Juice ROCKS Mox! Mox RAMS Juice, Juice RAMS back, and repeat! They go back and forth with shoulder block after shoulder block, then they get forehead to forehead again. Moxley KNEES low, then CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” as the Carolinas know all about chops. Moxley whips but Juice ducks ‘n’ dodges to LEAPING LARIAT! The fans fire up for Juice as he storms up on Moxley.
Juice CHOPS Moxley, stalks him to a corner, and CHOPS again! Moxley goes to another corner but Juice fires up! The fans are with Juice as he HEADBUTTS Moxley, then CHOPS again! Juice whips corner to corner, then runs up, but into a BOOT! Moxley storms up, reels Juice in, but Juice trips Moxley! Juice turns things around to then CATAPULT Moxley up and out! Moxley tumbles, but Juice then CANNONBALLS! Down goes Moxley and the fans fire up with Juice! Juice snarls as he stalks Moxley, fans say Guns Up, and Juice puts Moxley in the ring. The fans cheer Juice on as he slides in, but Moxley stomps fingers!
The fans rally and duel now as Moxley drags Juice up. Moxley bends Juice’s fingers, twists the wrist, then SNAPS fingers! Juice clutches his hand but Moxley KICKS him in the back. Moxley CHOPS Juice in the corner, then talks some trash before he swings. Juice dodges to CHOP! And JAB! JAB! JAB! “JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!” Juice pumps up, but Moxley bails out! Juice pursues to spin and THROW Moxley over barriers! Moxley tumbles around in the timekeeper’s area but Juice climbs up! The fans fire up as Juice leaps to DOUBLE AX HANDLE! The fans cheer as Juice pursues Moxley back to the ring.
Moxley goes to a corner and wants a moment to steady himself, but Juice climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count along, Juice goes to TEN, then BITES Moxley’s forehead! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands. Juice SPITS the taste out, then CROSSBODIES! Juice rains down fast hands, then fires up again. Moxley bails out while Juice huffs ‘n’ puffs, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Moxley hobbles around but Juice pursues. Moxley sits in a corner, but he kicks Juice low! Moxley then brings Juice around to whip, but Juice reverses, sending Moxley into the steel steps! Moxley writhes, the ref reprimands, but Juice asks the ref be patient. Juice puts Moxley in the ring, but Moxley runs to BOOT Juice down! Juice hits the steel steps on the way down! Moxley smirks while Juice is down, then Moxley flexes as he soaks up cheers and jeers. Moxley swaggers while he waits on Juice, but the ring count is climbing. Juice stirs at 5 of 10, sits up at 7, then rolls in! Juice flips Moxley off, but Moxley bends that finger!
Moxley makes Juice suffer as he twists the wrist, then BITES the fingers! The ref reprimands, Moxley “apologizes,” then he twists the wrist again. Moxley lets Juice go and Juice goes to a corner to check on his hand. Moxley runs up to LARIAT! Moxley brings Juice in for a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Dynamite returns to single picture and Moxley stays on Juice with another wristlock. Juice endures again while the fans rally up. Moxley bends the fingers again, tortures Juice’s arm, but the fans rally up. Juice fights around but Moxley kicks him low. Moxley winds up to fire body shots from all sides, but stops as the ref counts.
Moxley grinds his forearm into Juice, then runs corner to corner, but into a LEG LARIAT! Juice falls but can’t make the cover! The fans rally again as Juice rises, and Juice manages to JAB! CHOP! JAB! CHOP! The fans chant “JUICE! WOO~!” again and again as Juice JABS and CHOPS in the corner! Juice whips corner to corner, then runs up to LARIAT! Moxley slumps down but Juice keeps moving, CANNON- NO, Moxley is up! Juice ducks the lariat, but Moxley blocks Juice’s, for a CUTTER! Moxley waits on Juice, daring him to get up. The fans rally as Juice sputters and rises slowly. Moxley brings Juice around to put him in a corner.
Moxley climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along, and Moxley goes to nine, then flexes, only for Juice to FALLING POWERBOMB! Both men are down again, and Moxley flounders to a corner. CANNONBALL! We hit the ten minute halfway mark and Juice hoists Moxley up. Juice climbs to SUPER STEINER! Then a LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Moxley is tougher than that, and the fans are dueling as Juice shakes out the bad hand. Juice drags Moxley up, full nelsons, but Moxley breaks that to switch and spin Juice. Moxley lifts, but Juice fights! Juice BACKDROPS, Moxley sunsets, but Juice sits down on the cover! TWO!
Moxley runs up, but into the full nelson and SLAM! The fans fire up again as Juice powers up. Juice spits on his left hand and winds up! JAB! JAB! JAB! LEFT HAND- NO, Moxley BITES Juice’s forehead! Moxley flips Juice off, runs, but into the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Moxley falls, Juice climbs, and Juice aims as Moxley stands! CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Moxley survives again and the fans fire up! The fans duel as hard as they can while Juice and Moxley are forehead to forehead. Juice HEADBUTTS! Moxley HEADBUTTS! And repeat! Moxley wobbles but he ROCKS Juice! Juice ROCKS Moxley!

Juice flails, reaches out, but Moxley holds tight! Moxley keeps Juice from the ropes, brings him around, PILEDRIVER! Cover, TWO?!? Juice survives, but Moxley is right on him with the SLEEPER! Then the BULLY CHOKE!! Juice reaches out, fights around, and he powers up to his feet!
Moxley keeps Juice from ropes, and hits a takeover! “This is Awesome!” but Juice is fading! He’s red, he’s OUT! Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (denies Juice Robinson a title opportunity)
Juice pushed the time limit, but Moxley found a way to squeeze every bit out of Juice first. Will anyone take this title from Moxley at the rate he’s going?
The Death Riders continue their training.
As Wheeler Yuta uses Will Ospreay as a board for his deep ab crunches, which also tests Ospreay’s neck, Daniel Garcia says, “You just got off a 15 hour flight, you won titles with your petty little dramatic friends in Japan, we do not care. It’s us against the world. And if you wanna be the best version of yourself, you’re gonna have to work for it. C’mon, let’s get it! C’mon, c’mon, c’mon!” Ospreay keeps his head up, even as Yuta leans all the way back. Also, we see Marina training her kicks against Moxley’s abs. Ospreay powers through and Claudio calls time. Yuta steps off and Moxley kneels beside Ospreay. Both men laugh off the burning in their bodies.
Moxley says good, cool. Has Ospreay ever heard of the concept, “Death Ground?” Ospreay has not. Moxley says it is ground you cannot leave, from which there is no escape. There are no other options but to do or die. That is where Ospreay is right now. If we don’t get that neck right, if we don’t get that mind right, it’s over, Ospreay is done. Sure, Ospreay would still have his career in AEW, get paid to hang out like the rest of these posers. But that’s not what Ospreay wants. H e’s not like the rest of them. He is different. It is a privilege to be where you are, this far all the way up the mountain, where all he has left is that 1%.
This is the hardest 1% to climb. You’re on death ground now. It’ll be hard. But it’s the only good option. Nothing else exists but what is right in front of him. Every minute, every second. Now, on your back. Ospreay nods, and Marina is there with the towel. Pac says enough of you, cameraman. The camera shuts off as Marina works on Ospreay’s neck. Will the Death Riders truly rebuild Ospreay as a tougher, stronger, meaner Aerial Assassin?
Double Jeopardy: Orange Cassidy VS Dax Harwood!
While Adam Copeland & Christian Cage are putting their tag team career on the line at Double or Nothing, the Conglomeration and FTR are willing to gamble with each other. Freshly Squeezed is fighting for his own shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships, will he be leaving North Charleston with those golden tickets? Or will Dax the Ax earn himself, Cash Wheeler & Tommaso Ciampa a shot at the AEW World Trios Championships?
Well as if they aren’t obnoxious enough, FTR is mocking the Conglomeration by having #BigStoke dress up as Orange Cassidy, and then they’re being accompanied by Roppongi Vice, aka former friends of Orange Cassidy’s, and… The Dogs? Why’re Finlay & Connors hanging around these guys when they’re also supposed to team with The Death Riders later tonight? Finally, Cassidy makes his entrance, with Roddy & Kyle accompanying him. But wait, they have reinforcements, too, in the form of the Young Bucks AND Cope & Cage! The fans cheer as we might get a Rated R Superkick Party! Might as well call this a Lumberjack match for the heck of it!
The bell rings and the fans fire up as Cassidy puts his sunglasses away and circles with Dax. They feel things out, tie up, and Dax headlocks. Cassidy powers up and out, but Dax RUNS him over! Cover, ONE! Dax RUNS Cassidy over again, ONE! Cassidy drops down, hurdles over, but Dax counters hip toss with hip toss! Dax hurries but Cassidy UP KICKS him away! Dax scoops to SLAM, but Cassidy UP KCIKS again! Dax headlocks. Cassidy powers up and out to then headlock takeover! The fans cheer as Cassidy rubs Dax’s bald head! Cassidy pushes to a cover, ONE, and Dax fights up. Dax powers up but he pulls hair to put Cassidy in a corner.
The ref counts, Dax says he’s off. Cassidy blocks the chop! And blocks another! Dax gets in Cassidy’s face, but Cassidy puts his hands up. Dax pushes the ref aside, but the ORANGE PUNCH outta nowhere! Dax bails out, his entire crew is there, but Cassidy slides out. Cassidy has his punch at the ready, and his crew steps up to stare down with the rest. Cassidy runs up on Dax, but Dax sends him into the POST! Dax drags Cassidy up, puts him in, and he SLAMS Cassidy’s bad arm against the post! Dax slides, argues with the ref, and Stokely SLAMS Cassidy’s arm into post! The fans boo but even Ciampa gets a turn as Dynamite goes picture in picture!
Cassidy writhes but Stoke soaks up the heat. Cope & Cage storm over, Stoke hides behind literally everyone else, and they coach Cassidy on. Cassidy clutches his arm but Dax drags him up. Dax CHOPS Cassidy in the corner, then watches him flop down. Dax stomps the bad hand and Cassidy scrambles around. Cassidy bails out, Dax pursues, and Dax sends Cassidy back into the ring. Dax whips Cassidy to the corner, wraps the bad arm around ropes and pulls! The ref counts, Dax CHOPS, and Cassidy flops down. Dax drags Cassidy up to TOSS him out, but the ref makes sure everyone stays back. Dax distracts the ref, that lets Ciampa get a shot in!
Cassidy’s crew protests, but Stoke still gets a shot in, too. The ref tells everybody to back off, this isn’t a real lumberjack match! Cassidy rolls into the ring, Dax brings him up, and Dax shoves, only for Cassidy to KICK! Cash gets on the apron, that makes the ref miss Cassidy’s cradle! The ref is late to the count, TWO! Dax LARIATS Cassidy down! Dax stalks Cassidy to ropes while Rocky soaks up heat for the team. Dax CHOKES Cassidy, but stops as the ref counts. Dax drags Cassidy up, brings him around, and CHOPS! Dax reels Cassidy in, puts him up top, then CHOPS again! Dax climbs up now, talks trash on the fans, then blows a kiss.
Dynamite returns to single picture as Dax CLAWS Cassidy’s face! The ref reprimands, but Cassidy fights the superplex with body shots! Cassidy fires forearms, Dax falls back, and Cassidy leaps! But into a BODY BLOW! Dax reels Cassidy in, but Cassidy fights the lift again. Cassidy wrenches but Dax CLUBS him! Dax whips, Cassidy goes up and out, then Cassidy SMACKS Dax off buckles! Cassidy goes up, up, and blocks an uppercut! Dax still returns to climb up after Cassidy, but Cassidy again fights the superplex! Cassidy fires more forearms, then BITES Dax’s head! The fans cheer as Cassidy then DECKS Dax! Dax staggers to his feet, into the DEEP IMPACT! Cover, TWO!
Dax survives but the fans rally up for Cassidy. Cassidy rises while Dax bails out. Dax’s crew checks on him, but Cassidy builds speed! Cassidy DIVES, but Dax denies the impact! Dax SMACKS Cassidy’s bad hand off the desk, then he ATOMIC SLAMS Cassidy on the desk! Cassidy writhes but Dax drags him up. Dax puts Cassidy in the ring, then mocks the hands up and hands in pockets. Dax “unleashes” kicks of his own, mocking Cassidy more and more. Cassidy puts his hands up, and then in his pockets! The fans cheer as now Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges to SHOTGUN! Cassidy kips up, tilt-o-whirls, and DDTS! The fans cheer as Cassidy rises again!
Cassidy shakes out the bad hand, but Stokely gets on the apron. The fans boo Stoke as he talks trash, but then he runs away as Cassidy steps closer. Dax CHOPS, JABS, and LARIATS Cassidy down! Dax then suplexes, but Cassidy slips free! O’Conner Roll, TWO! Cassidy runs into a FOREARM from Finlay! Dax rolls Cassidy up, TWO!! Cassidy survives, and now it’s on! The ref has to hurry to stop the crews from fighting, but Dax uses the chaos to grab the ring bell! Dax slides into the ring, but the ref spots that! The ref snatches the bell, Cassidy snatches Dax! Dax sunset flips through, but Cassidy rolls through to PENALTY KICK!
The fans fire up as the elbow pad comes off! Cassidy aims, ORANGE- NO, Dax gets under, shoves, then dodges the punch to reel Cassidy in! SLINGSHOT- NO, Cassidy grabs ropes, then BOOTS free! ORANGE- NO, Dax SWATS the hand! Pop-up and SLINGSHOT BOMB!! Cover, TWO?!?! No one can believe it but the fans are loving it! Dax and Cassidy slowly sit up, and Dax drags Cassidy up. Cassidy is a ragdoll so Dax lets him go. The ref checks Cassidy but Cassidy is still conscious. Dax suplexes, but into a STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE! And then Cassidy loads up in the corner! ORANGE PUNCH!! Cover, TWO!!
Cassidy is stunned, but his bad hand held him back on that cover. Cassidy grits his teeth and clutches the hand, but Dax gets the ARMBAR! Cassidy scrambles around, even as Dax stomps his face! Cassidy fights around, rolls, and he stacks Dax! Dax kicks at Cassidy but Cassidy has the legs! CROSS LEG CRADLE! CASSIDY WINS!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (The Conglomeration are NEW #1 Contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships)
But then all hell breaks loose as RPG Vice & Dogs storm the ring! Cope, Cage and The Bucks rush in there, too! The fans fire up as the brawl spills out of the ring! The Bucks, Conglomeration, and the team that reeks of awesomeness all control the ring, and they wait on RPG Vice! The fans cheer as Azucar & Trent realize the trouble they’re in. Rocky says they’re cool, right? That was all just business before! Cope says nope, and he pokes Rocky in the eyes! Feed to Kyle for a KNEE, then he and Roddy Ax ‘n’ SMASH! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for #JustTrent! Then a SPEAR from Cope! The fans fire up as Cage wants one, too! LOW BLOW for Rocky!
The fans cheer as Cope helps Cassidy stand up, and they all celebrate! The Bucks & Bang Bang Gang will settle things with The Dogs later, which side wins that wild 10 Man Tag? As for Cassidy, what combination of The Conglomeration will look to take the #TopGuysOut?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and thanks him for speaking with her given things didn’t go well the last time. How is he doing? Jericho says she is right, last time he said he was pretty pissed off. But after last week, he’s effin’ furious! But the time for talking is done! The time for words is over. Time to fight! Jericho says unlike The Demand, he doesn’t wanna fight backstage, so if he could, he’ll take this out to the people! Jericho borrows the mic and storms his way through the back of the crowd! “Alright, South Carolina! Hey! C’mon!” Jericho goes to ringside and fires the fans up more. They cheer “Y 2 J!” as he steps into the ring.
Jericho says he’ll keep this very simple, because this is North Charleston, this is AEW Dynamite, and he IS Jericho! And Jericho is done with beatdowns and blindsides and BS! So Ricochet, Jericho will ask- No, he’ll demand that Ricochet comes out here to talk to Jericho face to face, one on one, man to man, right here, right now! The fans cheer that! Jericho doesn’t have to wait long as Ricochet indeed makes his entrance. The One & Only is walking down the ramp alone at first, but then the Gates of Agony follow after him after all. The Demand goes to the ring, and Liona pushes past Jericho to fetch a mic for Ricochet.
Ricochet tells Jericho that he’s tried to do Jericho a favor by telling him to leave, and Jericho didn’t listen. The fans boo as Ricochet says all these simpletons must think it’s funny Jericho trademarked, “The Guy Who Gets His Ass Kicked By The Demand Every Week That He Shows Up.” Jericho says sorry, can’t hear a damn word you said! The fans cheer and boo even louder, and Ricochet says yeah, okay, maybe Jericho has a shame kink, but they can make that a reality here tonight, “in front of these overweight, mouth-breathing hillbillies right here in Charleston, North Carolina!” Now the fans boo cuz Ricochet can’t even remember north and south.
Ricochet says if he’s being honest, he’s kinda tired of this, kinda bored of this. So if they do this 1v1 again, what does The Demand get out of it? Kaun whispers an idea to Ricochet, and he says that’s actually not bad! Here’s one for you, Jericho. Six years ago, you created your own match, a match that happened at Double or Nothing. So this year, in a stadium that is proudly named after an American icon in Louie Armstrong, and Ricochet being an American icon himself, he will deal Jericho a losing record in his very own match. The fans tell Ricochet to shut up but he dares them to make him! Exactly! Sit down!
Ricochet goes back to Jericho to say this time, Ricochet won’t just beat Jericho with his own move, the Lionsault, now known as the Ricosault, but Ricochet will beat Jericho in a STADIUM STAMPEDE! The only problem is, Jericho had to pay people to watch his back! How’d that work out? Still couldn’t get the job done, huh? So Ricochet isn’t even sure Jericho can find partners for this match. Because here in AEW, Ricochet’s company, no one likes Jericho! The fans boo, but Jericho says first of all, you stupid SOB, this is SOUTH Carolina! The fans cheer that! Ricochet rolls his eyes, but Jericho says let’s get this right: Ricochet wants Stadium Stampede?!
The fans cheer for Stadium Stampede, and Jericho says Ricochet is on! He WILL find four partners, because surely someone here likes Jericho. And if he can’t, he’ll just take on all of them by himself! Bald! BONK!! Jericho knocks Ricochet down with the mic, then dodges Liona to SMACK Kaun! But Liona then grabs Jericho, whips him, but Jericho stops himself! Jericho DUMPS Liona out, then TOSSES Kaun! Ricochet is back, but gets a JUDAS EFFECT! The fans cheer as Jericho then lines it up, but Liona DECKS Jericho before he can Lionsasult! The Gates mug Jericho, but wait! The Hurt Syndicate rushes out here!
The fans cheer as Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin run The Demand off! Liona has to carry Ricochet away, but has Jericho found two of the four he needs? Who else will join the chaos that is Stadium Stampede?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee is with the Wild Aussie and Fighting Gravure Idol and says there are surely conflicting emotions going into their tag match with Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander. But how are they feeling? Harley doesn’t know how to feel, but Mina says wake up! What Shida has done to Stat and them is not good! Can Harley trust Stat? Mina hopes so. But tonight, beyond friendship, beyond how they feel, they have a match to win! Harley, you are one of AEW’s first-ever Women’s Tag Team Champions! So, stop looking out there, and look in here!

Harley tells Shida & Stat that the wrath is back! Harley finishes ripping her shirt away, and says tonight, you’re gonna feel it! Renee says this is gonna be one hell of a match! Now to get dressed… Harley & Mina hurry off, but will they hit #Shidalander with both barrels? Or will the Shining Samurai & Cosmic Killer continue to grow stronger as a duo?

With The Alpha defending his NJPW World Television Championship in Japan this past weekend, The Rainmaker will not be outdone by his “brother” in the Don Callis Family! But will Okada deny The Bounty Hunter is prize? Or is he about to get caught off guard in this trap game?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Okada is still going to Double or Nothing!

Just as Bryan Keith was about to strike with Diamond Dust, Okada snatches away his victory to keep the gold! Callis then grabs the mic so he can say, “Okada has something important to say!” Okada is handed the mic, and he says, “I already have the International title. Unlike Takeshita! But I want more!” The fans like the sound of that! Okada says he is coming for THE A E W World Championship!! B*tch! The Rainmaker has staked his claim at the top prize, but is he overlooking what stands in his way? Or will the NJPW World Television Champion prove he can beat Okada and truly be THE Alpha of the Don Callis Family?
JetSpeed speaks.
Mike Bailey says, “Tonight, the TNT Champion becomes #Jet2Belts! Kevin, it’s time for you to prove that you’re no longer a rising star, but you’re way up there, shining bright, and you are the one we look up to.” Knight says he likes the way that sounds! Ever since he stepped into the building this morning, the air switched up a bit. And he appreciates Darby Allin for being the fighting champion he says he is, but what was it he was saying? Darby’s gonna fight until his body gives out? Well, Knight has news for you: that’s exactly what happens tonight when Darby steps into the ring with The Jet, and he becomes the NEW AEW World Champion!
The Jet is ready to fly, and Speedball also has his own match with AR Fox. Will tonight be the best night JetSpeed’s ever had?
The Opps speak.
Katsuyori Shibata wants to confiscate a camera like always, but Samoa Joe says nah, let the man do his job. Shibata stands with Joe and Anthony Bowens, and Joe says, “Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am Samoa Joe, and I am joined by The Opps. And I’m worried. See, last week, I put out an offer, and I am deathly afraid it is not being heard. Will Ospreay, please, hear these words and allow me to explain myself in a very non-intimidating manner. Y’see, men like Jon Moxley, they’re telling you how to think, Will. I don’t wanna do that, Will. I want you to think whatever you wanna think.
“Will, you gotta realize that I see the momentum. I see the tide rising, Will. I know that you are destined for greatness. And some say that you will be the next world champion. But now the question is, Will, how much of you will there be left to remain champion? Will, with a man like me at your side, with men like us at your side, William… That can be a very long time. Now you may say to yourself, ‘What are the advantages to this?’ Well, I’ll tell you what. In this organization, men like Hook, though he was unsuccessful last week, I won’t punish that man, no. This week, he’s off filming a movie, I made a few connections, I made a few calls, I put him in a better position to succeed.
“That’s what I wanna do for you. Anthony Bowens, long overlooked and underestimated, I will now provide an opportunity for him to succeed. This man here, Katsuyori Shibata, nowhere else in the world will he get to be him, The Wrestler, than with The Opps, and right here and right now. So William, just know this: The choice is yours, the choice is clear, and the intentions of the man that is staring you in the face right now are as clear as day. I’m gonna put out my hand to you one last time, and just know, William, if it is not accepted… Then I’ll put out my fist.” The Opps have given their ultimatum, but will Ospreay acknowledge it?

Shida says there are levels to this, but Harley says she’ll see Shida soon. Shida goes back to Mina and stomps her down while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Shida is much more excited about this than Kris, but maybe that’s because Kris had to beat up a former friend to win. Will this duo continue to climb the ranks until they’re the champions?
Prince Nana is backstage.
Cameras follow him as he finds Swerve Strickland. Swerve says, “Two months ago, I told everybody that I was after power. Power. But it seems a few understand what it truly means. See, real power is being the one to decide who eats and who starves. Real power is being the man that nobody will stop, and making sure the whole world sees it. I’m the Most Dangerous to the most violent, all the way to the Most Wanted. More power means more fear. And more control. And there is nothing more dangerous than a man that desires power. And I want it all.” The Realest has put Bandido on notice, but will he take The Outlaw down? Or will he be just another name that has tried and failed?
Backstage interview with #Brodido.
Renee is with The Most Wanted and the King of Death as she brings up Swerve calling Bandido out. What is his reaction to Swerve? Bandido says Swerve is right, Bandido IS the Most Wanted! And if Swerve wants him, he’s easy to find. Brody says Bandido’s got this. But Swerve, it is one thing to mess with Brody. But if you mess with his friends, there will be Hell to pay. Brodido is locked ‘n’ loaded, but will Swerve’s House have just the arsenal for this shootout?

Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
It was certainly fast ‘n’ furious, and Sting is here to celebrate with his former protege! The show is switching from Dynamite to Collision, but will nothing stop Darby from being THE AEW World Champion?
Collision begins as…
Sting helps Darby to his feet, but also helps Knight to his feet. Sting raises Darby’s hand in victory, but also raises Knight’s hand to show further respect. The two champs shake hands for that same reason, and both men move on. At least, Knight odes, as MJF makes his way out here! The fans are torn as The Scumbag steps on Darby’s moment, mic in hand. MJF has them cut his music, and he says, “I don’t know what’s worse: The fact that I have to be in the Carolinas, or the fact that this reign of terror of yours is still continuing. Listen to me, Darby, nobody wants to see you with that world title anymore, okay, bud?”
The fans boo but MJF says no one asked them, shut up! Enough is enough, this has been cute, it’s been fun, but it’s time to give MJF the rematch he’s owed, okay? Rematch time! The fans chant at MJF that he messed up, and Darby tells MJF that he’s already said no. If MJF wants the rematch, MJF has to put something on the line. MJF says alright, if Darby wants to barter with him, tell you what? MJF will put his scarf on the line, it’s a beautiful scarf. Darby says no, so MJF says he can’t even believe he’s saying this. How about the Dynamite Diamond Ring? Say yes! Darby says no. MJF is starting to get pissed off, okay?
MJF says everybody loves money, so if Darby gives him the rematch, MJF will give him ONE MILLION DOLLARS! Darby says you’re talking to a guy who used to be homeless living under a bridge, MJF’s money is no good here. MJF says okay, you troll, then what do you want?! Everyone’s got a price so what does Darby want!? Darby says he wants something MJF holds most dear in this life. Something MJF is so desperate to keep that he’s willing to fly 15 hours to Turkey to get it sewed onto his skull! Darby is talking about MJF’s hair! “Listen, you most vain POS I’ve ever met, I’m talking about your damn hair!!”
MJF says be reasonable, but the fans already chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” MJF says be reasonable, but Darby says next week, they’ll do a contract signing: Title VS Hair! And if MJF doesn’t show up, he is never, and Darby means never, getting a championship match! What does MJF say? MJF is flustered, and he drops the mic to run away! The tables have finally been turned on MJF, but how badly does The Devil of AEW want to make a deal with Darby? But then hold on, Okada walks back out here! The International Champion did say he wants more than one belt, and he’s going right up to the ring.
Okada grabs his own mic to tell Darby, “Next Wednesday, ME VS YOU! For your WORLD TITLE!” The fans cheer as Darby tells Okada, “It’s on, b*tch!” The Relentless One VS The Rainmaker, in Asheville, North Carolina, but who will reign supreme?
Backstage interview with Will Ospreay.
Renee is with both the Aerial Assassin and Doc Sampson to get a medical update. What is the verdict? Doc says Ospreay, against medical advice, went to Japan for a match. Luckily, he didn’t make anything worse. Upon his return, Doc checked Ospreay out, and he is actually improving. Whatever training he’s doing, he’ll keep doing it, and to that point, we’ll MRI this week. If that MRI is clear, then Ospreay will be medically cleared for AEW. Renee says that brings us to the obvious: Ospreay training with The Death Riders. What is their relationship? Ospreay says he appreciates The Death Riders letting him in on the training, but he’s not a Death Rider, never will be.
Ospreay just knows there are things he doesn’t wanna do that he knows he has to do to get to where he wants to be. Okay, Renee says they’ll keep everyone updated as news comes in. Will Ospreay be back to 100% soon enough?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey VS AR Fox!
We saw one half of JetSpeed fall short of the top prize in AEW, but now the other half is looking to build their own momentum towards gold. Will Speedball bounce back on behalf of The Jet? Or will Collision soon be The Whole Fox’n Show?

Fox tried to fly like #JetSpeed, but he couldn’t keep up! Will Bailey find his own path to a title back around his waist?
Willow Nightingale speaks.
“It is an honor, on today of all days, to be called the Face of TBS. Turner Broadcasting System. And it’s privilege to wear its championship. And in that way, represent a man who changed the landscape of television, and gave professional wrestling a home. After nine title defenses, I’ve knocked down every challenger, I’ve smashed every comeback, because that is what the legacy of this network, the legacy of Turner, deserves: A fighting champion. So whoever wants next, step up. Because I plan on defending that legacy every single week.” The Babe with the Power has issued the challenge once more, but who will answer the call?
The Death Riders speak, again.
The Bastard mockingly applauds and congratulates Darby Allin, “The indestructible boy who never quits, and still champion. Haha. Very impressive. Now listen up. Don’t you dare forget about me, alright? Your old friend, the perpetual thorn in your side, The Bastard, and right now, I’m gonna be very direct with ya. You and I, Darby, here in AEW, we are 2-1 in singles competition, in my favor! Now by my reckoning, that earns me a shot. So hey, give me a shot. Fight me for your World Heavyweight Championship, Mr. Fighting Champion, because I promise ya, I am one mountain you will never truly conquer. I know that, and you definitely know that.
“Hell, if you can do it, I certainly can! So let’s see how big ya balls are, huh? Why don’t you prove me wrong? Hmm? An invitation, if ya like. Do let me know, won’t ya?” Pac has called Darby out, when and where will these two revisit their feud?
BREAKING NEWS for Fairway to Hell!
The other hour of Collision is happening this Saturday, live from West Palm Beach, Florida, and it just got a whole lot bigger! Jack Perry VS Mark Davis for the National Championship in a rematch from Dynasty, Divine Dominion in non-title tag action, and now THE AEW World Championship, Darby Allin VS PAC! Will Pac make it 3-1 with a golden victory? Or will Darby tie up the career series while staying on top?
Jamie Hayter VS Skye Blue!
Speaking of revisiting some things, The Brawling Birds have been chasing the Triangle of Madness, but only suffering loss for it. Persephone got misted, Alex Windsor is sidelined for the night, but can the Southampton Slugger still hit hard? Or will the Chicago Skye darken the shadows here in North Charleston?

APRON FLATLINER! The fans rally as Skye brings Jamie around, and she THROWS Jamie into barriers! Jamie sputters but Skye swaggers as Collision goes picture in picture.
Skye CHOPS Jamie against the barriers, then puts her in the ring. Skye stomps Jamie around, then pushes her to a cover, ONE! Jamie is tougher than that but Skye keeps on her. Jamie fires body shots but Skye kicks her down. Skye drags Jamie up, bumps her off buckles, then stomps her into the corner. The ref counts, Skye smiles as she stops at 4, and Jamie coughs and sputters. Skye goes back to Jamie, stands her up, and CHOPS! Jamie turns things around to CHOP, CHOP, CHOP! MACHINE GUN CHOPS even! But Skye THROWS Jamie by her hair! Skye stomps away in the corner, but she stops as the ref reprimands.
Jamie sputters again but Skye kicks her to the floor. Skye goes out to talk some trash, and she SMACKS Jamie off the desk! Skye then brings Jamie around to whip, but Jamie reverses! Skye hits barriers, then takes a seat, only for Jamie to stomp her! Jamie climbs up against the railing to rain down fists! The fans count along, and Jamie goes all the way to TEN! The fans applaud, Jamie rolls into the ring, then goes back out. But Skye drop toeholds her into steel steps! The ref reprimands but Skye puts Jamie back in. Cover, TWO! Jamie is tougher than that but Skye is just annoyed. Skye bumps Jamie off buckles, then digs her boots in.
The ref counts, Skye mockingly counts along, then stops at 4. Skye shrugs, acting like she doesn’t understand the problem. Skye then runs in, but Jamie ELBOWS her away! Collision returns to single picture as Jamie then BOOTS Skye away, hops up the corner, and leaps! MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Jamie drags Skye up, and GERMAN SUPLEXES! The fans cheer Jamie as she runs corner to corner, LARIAT in the corner! Then an EXPLODER! Cover, TWO! Skye survives but Jamie hauls her up to whip. Jamie SPINEBUSTERS Skye back down, then HAMMERS away! The fans cheer while Jamie powers up the arm.
Jamie brings Skye up, ripcords, but Skye wheelbarrows to victory roll, TWO! Jamie has the stack, TWO! Both women stand, but Skye turns lariat into ghost pin! Jamie slips through, blocks Skye’s kick and ROCKS her! Skye SUPERKICKS, but Jamie ENZIGIRIS! Jamie runs up but Skye blocks a kick to KNEE Jamie! Skye roars, runs, and hops on, CODE- NO, Jamie sits down! TWO, DOUBLE FOREARMS hit! Then Jamie HEADBUTTS! She falls on the cover, TWO!! Skye survives, both women are down, and the fans fire up! Another standing count is climbing as Jamie drags herself up with the ropes. Jamie stands at 5 of 10, then brings Skye up to RAM her into a corner.
Jamie RAMS Skye again, and again, then hoists her up top. Jamie ROCKS Skye, climbs up, but Skye slips under! Skye tucks Jamie in for a CHEEKY NANDOS! Skye gets under but Jamie throws hands! Skye staggers, Jamie BOOTS her, and then Jamie drags Skye up with the HANGING SLEEPER! Skye fights free, they brawl up top, and the fans rally! Skye ROCKS Jamie, then shrieks as she climbs up. Jamie ELBOWS Skye, fires ridge hands, then blocks as hot, SUPER HAYTERADE!! Cover, Jamie wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
Skye fell and Jamie kisses the powerful biceps! Thekla & Julia Hart are in the crowd, and they mockingly applaud this one win. Jamie says watch this! HAYTERADE again!! Now Thekla & Julia are mad! But will Jamie make sure the rest of the Triangle gets bent soon enough?
The Don Callis Family speaks.
Don Callis stands with Mark Davis, Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita and the NEW IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion, Andrade El Idolo. Callis says he is so happy, because everything is coming up DCF! This Saturday, Fairway to Hell, Davis is gonna win gold for the family in the National Championship when he crushes Jack Perry! Okada has just had another successful title defense! And yes, breaking news that should keep everyone up at night, Okada has staked his claim to the AEW World Championship! Be very afraid! But Konosuke says no, Okada shouldn’t be worried about Darby and the world title.
Okada should be worried about defending his International Championship against Takeshita at Double or Nothing! Okada and Konosuke argue in Japanese, Callis shouts them down, saying on one hand, yes, they’re the best wrestlers in the world, so he agrees. But on the other, this is sounding a little Kenny Omega, where they want this but they also want that. What he’s saying is, Okada is Callis’ handpicked choice for THE world title! But then Andrade asks, “How you know?” El Idolo storms off, Callis says how does he know? Because he’s Don Callis, and he knows everything! And what he knows is that there’s gonna be more gold in the Don Callis Family!
The Real Latino Man and The Alpha are champions themselves, but are they really going to take a backseat to Okada grabbing up more gold for himself? Or can they all put Don Callis’ desires ahead of their own?
Rush VS Manny Lo!
Speaking of someone who wants gold, El Toro Blanco continues to stampede all over AEW, but the titles are still just out of reach. Will he finally prove himself worthy with another violent Collision?
The bell rings and Manny offers a handshake. Rush just THROWS Manny to the corner, CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Rush sits Manny down, fires off forearms and stomps, but the ref counts. Rush stops at 4, then runs corner to corner, BULL’S HORNS!! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
He wasted no time, because he is running out of patience! Rush gets the mic to say, “JUST REMEMBERRR~! When you mess with the bull, YOU GET THE HORNS!” Will every champion in AEW have to watch out before they get run over by El Toro Blanco?
Jack Perry speaks.
The Jurassic Express keeps on cruising, and Jack says when he was a boy, someone told him it’s not about the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. And Mark Davis, you’re just a big, stupid dog. But it was grit, determination, and a willingness to win no matter the cost that made Jack into the National Champion. It doesn’t matter how big, bad, or dangerous you think you are, because Jack already beat Davis once, and he’ll do it again. There is only room for one, and Jack is on top of the mountain. If Davis doesn’t like that, F U! Jack Perry indeed climbed a mountain, but can he stay at the peak?
10 Man Tag: The Young Bucks & The Bang Bang Gang VS The Death Riders & Dogs!
While we got a teaser of this earlier tonight, Matt & Nick Jackson now team with Ace Austin & The Gunns to face off against Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, David Finlay & Clark Connors. Will this the Collision Cowboys help throw quite the Superkick Party? Or will the Swiss Cyborg, Decoder, Dragon Slayer, Savage King & 100 Proof simply stack bodies on their way to the top?
Forget sorting out in the ring, The Death Riders lead the charge as soon as #BangBangBucks are ringside! The bell rings to get this on record as Matt brawls with Yuta, Garcia is after Austin, Finlay CLUBS Nick, Claudio ROCKS Colten, and Connors has Ace. Moxley is on commentary to say high octane start as Yuta & Garcia mug Nick in the corner. They double suplex but Matt makes the save! The Bucks then have Garcia, but Yuta CLUBS Nick! It is 2v2 but Ace joins in! But then Connors joins in! Moxley wonders what we’re getting as Austin and Finlay add on. Moxley says it’s a human centipede suplex situation and he’s uncomfortable.
Claudio UPPERCUTS Colten down on the outside, and The Bang Bang Bucks QUADRUPLE SUPLEX! The fans fire up, and now everyone has someone in a corner! Colten even turns things around on Claudio at the desk! We quite a quintuple rain of fists, all the way to TEN! That’s fifty punches in all, and then the Bang Bang Bucks send the Death Dogs at each other! Yuta, Garcia, Finlay & Connors all stop short, but turn around into QUADRUPLE ATOMIC DROPS! The Death Dogs all stumble around then fall out of the ring, but Claudio is in the ring! But Ace & Austin double kick to double whip! Claudio sends them into each other, but Matt gives Nick the boost for a RANA!
Claudio tumbles out, The Bucks rally the fans, and Matt WRECKS Claudio with a dropkick! Matt holds the ropes down for Nick to FLY! Down goes Claudio, but Yuta DROPKICKS Matt! Ace LARIATS Yuta up and out! Ace builds speed but Garcia trips him up! Ace kicks free, but Garcia blocks the kick! Ace handstands out of the throw, then avoids the sweep to PENALTY KCIK! But Connors APRON SPEARS Ace! The Gunns get Finlay with kicks and a whip, to then DOUBLE QUICK DRAW! Finlay flounders but Yuta is back! He gets a BODY SHOT, LARIAT, and “SUCK IT!” The Gunns wait on Yuta, but Garcia makes the save!
Claudio is back but Colten DECKS him! Connors and Finlay target Austin, he’s a deer in headlights for the DOUBLE SPEAR! Finlay fireman’s carries Colten to HOTSHOT, then Connors hits the JEEP FLIPPER! The fans boo but the Death Riders all stomp away on Colten, and Collision goes picture in picture.
The Dogs regroup as things finally sort out. They drag Austin around while Garcia stomps Ace. Finlay bends Austin’s fingers, then JAMS them into the mat! Colten is sent into barriers while Finlay bumps Austin off buckles. Tag to Claudio and the Death Dogs mug Austin. The Death Dogs then soak up the heat, and Claudio clamps onto Austin with a modified chinlock. Austin endures, reaches out, and he fights up. Austin wrenches free and ROCKS Claudio! Garcia tags in as Claudio keeps Austin back, and Garcia CLOBBERS him! Garcia talks trash on the fans, then puts Austin in a corner. Garcia rains down fists, and goes to nine before putting up his dukes.
Garcia hops down, still no dancing. Garcia drags Austin over, scoops, and SLAMS! Tag to Yuta, he soaks up heat while mockingly applauding Austin. Yuta dares Austin to go to his corner, but then dropkicks him down! Yuta taunts Austin, keeps him from his corner, but Austin ROCKS Yuta! And ROCKS him again! Yuta wobbles, Austin ROCKS Yuta! Yuta CLAWS the eyes, then pushes him over to cover, TWO! Austin toughs it out but Yuta mockingly applauds. Yuta clamps on a chinlock, Austin endures, and the fans rally. Austin fights up, up, and Collision returns to single picture as he hits the BIG back suplex!
The fans rally, Yuta hot tags Claudio, but the Death Dogs all BLAST the Bang Bang Bucks! Then the Cycle of Violence starts up on Austin! ELBOW, UPPERCUT, LARIAT, RAM, UPPERCUT, repeat! Then feed to Claudio for the GIANT SWING! Yuta DROPKICKS Austin out of it, covers, but the Bang Bang Bucks all break it! The Death Dogs throw them back out, and Claudio argues with the ref. Claudio taunts Austin, kicks him around, but Austin rises up. The fans rally as Claudio CHOPS! Austin CHOPS back! Claudio runs up, Austin wrenches to COMPLETE SHOT! The fans fire up as Austin brings Claudio down!
The fans rally as hard as they can, hot tags to Yuta and Colten! Colt 45 fires off LARIAT after LARIAT, even snap suplexes Garcia! Then he SPLASHES Yuta! Colten keeps moving, Colten Crossover to the NECKBREAKER! Claudio runs up but Colten TOSSES him out! Yuta runs up but Colten ELBOWS then URENAGES! Cover, TWO! Yuta survives, but Colten kicks! “SUCK IT!” But Claudio trips Colten up! Ace runs up and gets a boost to FLY out onto Claudio! Garcia sneaks a tag, Yuta dodges the splash, and now Garcia trips Colten! DRAGON TAMER!! The fans boo but Yuta adds a CURB STOMP!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Colten survives that “Dark Horse” combo! Garcia whips but Colten blocks! Colten whips Garcia to then LARIAT him down! The fans fire up again as both men crawl. Hot tag to Matt! The fans cheer as Matt runs up but Garcia ELBOWS him! But Matt catches Garcia to a NORTHERN LIGHTS! The Polar Express gets going but Garcia slips around! Matt switches, Finlay sneaks a tag before the O’Conner! But Matt catches Finlay, and Connors, DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS BRIDING COVER, TWO!! The fans fire up and Moxley admits the Bucks are always creative and innovative. Charleston knows “This is Awesome!” as Matt stands Finlay up.
Matt ROCKS Finlay, whips him to the corner, but Finlay reverses. Matt goes up and over, and Nick runs up to SHINING WIZARD! GAMANGIRI! LARIAT! Matt fires off on Connors, too, and The Bucks DOUBLE BULLDOG! The fans fire up with The Bucks, and they position The Dogs in the drop zone. The Bucks go up top while the fans cheer again, SWANTON BOMB and MACHO ELBOW! Matt asks if the fans are ready, for the Superkick Party~! SUPERKICK for Connors! SUPERKICK for Finlay! SUPERKICK for Finlay, then SUPERKICK for Connors! Yuta & Garcia run in, but they’re sent into Finlay & Connors!
The Dark Horses are stunned, and they turn around into DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for Finlay! The fans are thunderous as The Bucks get Finlay, B T E TRIGGER!! Cover, YUTA BREAKS IT! But Ace is in, he KNEES and BOOTS Yuta to fireman’s carry! Ace does a squat to then DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! But Claudio BOOTS Ace! SUPERKICK for Claudio! Claudio rebounds to DUOBLE LARIAT! But 3:10 TO YUMA for Claudio! Garcia DUMPS Austin out, SHOTGUNS Colten, then ducks a kick! DOUBLE LARITS for Garcia and Nick! DOULE LARIATS for Austin and Connors! DOUBLE LARIATS for Ace and Yuta!
Finlay runs, but DOUBLE LARIATS for him and Matt! DOUBLE LARIATS for Colten and Claudio! They stay up, roar, and go again! DOUBLE LARIATS and they’re down after all! The fans are thunderous as all ten men are down around ringside! The fans cheer “A E DUB!” for making this Collision main event THE main event of the night.

Ace lands out! The Bucks join in, TRIPLE SUPERKICKS! Then a DOUBLE DIVE onto The Dogs! Ace hits THE FOLD!! Cover, Bang Bang Bucks win!!
Winners: The Young Bucks & The Bang Bang Gang, by pinfall
Moxley admits, that’s a great finishing move. Wrestling on TBS, what better way to end the night? But with this huge win for The Bucks and the Bang Bang Gang, will nothing stop these teams from taking back championship gold?
My Thoughts:
An awesome three hour block for AEW, which they’ve all but been doing lately anyway. But in the end, they still booked this as just a Dynamite followed by a Collision, not as one giant show. Though, with how they handled that very booking, it was fine for Darby VS Knight to be the Dynamite main event that then helped segue into filler Collision. The world title scene is getting full up mostly because everyone knows Darby is willing to take on anyone and everyone, other than MJF. But while I thought Darby was going to ask MJF to do the same deal as Cody and Hangman, he gives us the next best thing: Title VS Hair, and if MJF refuses, THEN he ends up like Cody and Hangman, aka banned from challenging for this title (at least while Darby has it, I presume).
Okada wanting the world title is kind of like, “About time!” I don’t see Darby losing on Dynamite if he’s also giving MJF his opportunity, but this all helps feed the Don Callis Family dysfunction. Andrade is slowly turning against Callis given Callis outright said Okada is his top pick for the top title. Andrade joining Konosuke’s side in this Callis Family Civil War would certainly be a great move given the absence of Kyle Fletcher choosing between #Protoshita and #Protokada. Pac calling out Darby was good stuff, and that match for “Fairway to Hell” will be great, but again, Darby will win that to then win against Okada and face MJF at Double or Nothing.
Rush crushed his opponent much faster than expected, he should definitely be challenging someone on the other side of Double or Nothing. Bailey VS Fox was really good, but Bailey should also be challenging for something after the PPV. An obvious answer is Knight VS Bailey just to see that match, but maybe LFI can have a serious feud with JetSpeed as part of a TNT Championship build. Great Double Jeopardy match, but they really just threw people out there for the fun of it. This and the wild 10 Man Tag to close the night all works to keep the tag and trios divisions strong while there’s this odd traffic jam while FTR VS C&C finally sorts out.
Jericho and Ricochet turning their rematch into a Stadium Stampede is pretty wild, I thought we were getting Mimosa Mayhem. But maybe Jericho can help Hurt Syndicate find those new members they are looking for through finding two more men to fight in that 5v5. Not sure who The Demand will get as their additional members, but it’d be kinda funny if they were the ones coming up empty because no one wants to deal with Ricochet’s ego. Either way, I would think Jericho gets the win through this, and then we can have Jericho VS Ricochet 1v1 one last time at All In: London. Very good promo from Swerve, very good response from Brodido, but not even sure the point of the feud other than a dream match to hold both guys over before bigger things.
Hilarious and great promo from Mina & Harley, great match from them and #Shidalander, but I figured Shida & Stat were winning that. They’re gonna stay strong up until the moment Shida finally turns on Stat. Very good match from Jamie VS Skye, and good win for Jamie, but hopefully Alex Windsor isn’t hurt too badly. Double or Nothing really should be some kind of Triple Threat to fit both the name and the story, so hopefully Windsor is back in time for the PPV. And great stuff with Will Ospreay, The Death Riders, and The Opps. Ospreay said he’s not joining Death Riders, he’s just getting their help. But he didn’t even mention Joe & The Opps, so I think Ospreay gets lumped in with Death Riders in the inevitable feud. Either way, Ospreay VS Joe will be amazing.
My Score: 9.1/10
