Will this turn into an all out war now? Oh wait, you GOT to give the people what they want! That’s the biggest group hug in AEW history!
Dan Lambert and The Men of the Year are up in the nosebleeds!
Lambert shouts into the mic, “I have to say about this company and all you idiots that make up its fanbase, but it was made crystal clear to me that when I pulled up to the arena that former UFC Heavyweight Champions, Andre Arlovski and Junior dos Santos, together with BMF Champion, Jorge Masvidal, and The Men of the Year, Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky, are here for a little less talk and a lot more action!” Ethan Page says, “I love~ you~, Dan!” And All Ego is glad Lambert reached out to him and Scorpio. “Everyone knows the Men of the Year are two very handsome, fashionable men.” Scorpio adds, “They have eyes.”
Ethan says the Men of the Year love to talk their trash, flap their gums and show off the Gift of Gab. Scorpio adds, “They have ears.” Ethan continues by saying, “But everyone on the roster already knows that The Men of the Year are extremely! Dangerous! Men!” Scorpio says “But sometimes, you have to take it to the next level.” That means stepping out of their comfort zones, “and back into the danger zone.” They’ll do that with their new friends, American Top Team! Lambert says they’ve got UFC fighters in the building, Scorpio’s got his new five-year extension signed, sealed and delivered, and Ethan is always looking to feed that ego. The only thing left is Lambert saying whose ass they kick and when!
Lambert asks if Masvidal thinks it’s necessary tonight, and Masvidal feels it is very necessary. So then, who will this arrogant crossover have in their crosshairs first?
AEW TNT Championship: Miro VS Eddie Kingston!
God’s Favorite Champion or not, the Bulgarian Brute has been the most brutal TNT Champion yet! But the Mad King knows a lot about getting brutal, so he’s ready to show there ain’t no favorites here! Will Kingston get his crown by dropping Miro on his head? Or will Miro at least redeem himself for getting dropped on Friday?

Fans boo Miro as he paces and calms down.

Kingston CHOPS and CHOPS and has Miro in a corner for MACHINE GUN CHOPS! Kojima is here tonight…

Winner: Miro, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Mad King had a perfect strategy, but the ring is itself a variable no one can predict! Miro can barely hold up the title with how his arms feel from all that damage to his neck. Will his grip on the gold start to weaken from here on?
Jon Moxley VS Satoshi Kojima!
The Maniac knows all about the King of Cozy Style, and that’s partly why he’s pissed off! Only one man in all of NJPW was brave enough to accept this open challenge, and it was only the old guard that answered? Will Kojima prove he’s as crazy as Moxley says and find a way to win? Or will Moxley be the only one crazy enough to go all out in Chicago?

Backstage interview with Andrade El Idolo & Chavo Guerrero.
Alex Marvez asks El Idolo about how his scheduled match with PAC isn’t happening now because of apparent travel issues. We know Team Andrade has done this to Death Triangle before, is he going to claim he isn’t behind these particular issues? Andrade says he is here to fight. Do you think he wants to miss this big, amazing night? Andrade asks his assistant, Jose, if he was the one that cancelled Pac’s flight. Jose says no. Andrade asks Chavo if he was the one who cancelled Pac’s flight. Chavo plays dumb, saying he has no idea about that. Chavo doesn’t even know American Airlines’ number. Not that anyone said Pac was using American Airlines, just saying.
But it doesn’t matter why or how Pac is missing All Out, the point is Pac is scared of El Idolo! Everyone knows that, and the same things happened with the “poor little Lucha Brothers” before. Team Andrade has offered their services, if they don’t want to accept the help then that is on them. So no, they did not cancel the flights. But this Friday on Rampage, El Idolo VS Lil’ Pac. No more excuses. Andrade will even pay for the flight so that he can settle this with Pac! Will the Bastard be more than happy to accept that fight?
AEW World Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match: The Young Bucks VS The Lucha Brothers!
From accepting Don Callis’ advice and seeing things his way, to having the cold spray monkey butler Brandon Cutler constantly running around, it has all led to this! Matt & Nick Jackson must now fight their way out of the steel to hold onto their gold! But when Penta El Zero M & Rey Fenix have #CeroMiedo, will that lead them to finally dethroning the Bucks?
The cage lowers and is secured in place, with escape NOT an option. To make the challengers’ entrance even greater, GANGSTA L and MUELAS DE GALLO are live and in person to rap the theme song! As for the Bucks, they of course have The Elite as their posse, but they’re kinda why there’s a cage. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, Callis joins commentary and the cage door is closed! Now we see how much blood, sweat and tears these blood brothers are willing to shed for glory and gold!
Fans are thunderous already for “CERO! MIEDO!” Fenix and Penta throw hands but the Bucks return them! The Lucha Bros get the edge and CLUB the Bucks down! The Lucha Bros whip, the Bucks dodge and start climbing! The Lucha Bros stop them, the Bucks kick them away, but Fenix runs and gets a boost to dropkick both Bucks down! Not that it matters, escape wouldn’t end this. The Lucha Bros put the Bucks in opposite corners, Penta KICKS Matt and Fenix CHOPS Nick. They whip the Bucks at each other, the Bucks dosido but the hermanos dodge and do the same! Penta runs at Nick, Fenix runs at Matt, GAMANGIRIS IN STEREO!

Fenix and Nick go to the same corner, go up and up and stare down, Fenix SUPER STEINERS Nick! Penta forearm smashes Matt, whips him to Fenix, fireman’s carry and DEATH VALLEY! WAZZUP!? Dropkick to Matt’s butt, cover, Nick breaks it! Fenix and Penta coordinate, UNO DOS TRES, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS!
Fans are thunderous as Fenix & Penta soak it all in. Penta RAMS Nick into steel, Fenix RAMS Matt into steel, then they trade sides to RAM them into steel again! Penta and Fenix coordinate as they trade partners and they both SPEAR the Bucks into steel! Fenix stomps Nick, he and Penta coordinate again and trade back, but the Bucks dodge! The Lucha Bros crash into the steel! Nick and Matt get in, the Bucks bump Penta off buckles and hoist him up into the corner. They club away on Penta, Nick runs at Fenix but is sent out. Fenix dodges Matt, Matt blocks the kick to catapult Fenix into a GAMANGIRI! Nick DOUBLE STOMPS Fenix then somersaults to DRAPING BACKSTABBER!

CM Punk VS Darby Allin!
After seven years of everyone everywhere in pro-wrestling asking again and again, the Best in the World is finally getting back in the ring! And no better place to do it than in Punk’s backyard of Chicago! But Darby’s entrance starts with another masterful vignette. “Most people tiptoe through life, hoping they make it safely to death. – Earl Nightingale.” The body bag is back, and it’s got “BEST IN THE WORLD” written all over it. The bag is brought up into the air by a helicopter, where Darby is perched in the doorway. They fly together, then Darby drops out to go past the body bag. The Relentless One “lands” and makes his entrance to the ring!
The Icon sees him out, but lets him handle this one alone, just as he promised. Darby’s skateboard has half Punk, half skull on it, more imagery predicting a possible outcome for tonight. But as soon as Darby’s music stops, the chants of “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” start up again. Cult of Personality plays and Chicago once again belongs to one man! Darby soaks up the moment just as much as anyone, and Punk decides to sit down with him! Fans cheer as the two stare down this way, “This is Awesome!” “Holy s*it!” Darby stands, takes off the jacket and shows the pant has expanded to cover half his body, not just his face! Punk likes that, and the bell rings!
Punk and Darby circle, tie up, and are in a collar ‘n’ elbow deadlock. Darby gets under to arm-drag Punk down, and Punk nods that Darby made a smart move. The two reset, circle again as fans rally and duel hard as they have all night, and Punk tests the waters with kicks. They tie up, Punk headlocks but Darby powers out, only for Punk to run him over with a shoulder! Darby scrambles away and Punk seems to be getting back into things. Punk and Darby circle as fans chant, “WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK!” Punk pretends like he doesn’t understand who that’s for and points between him and Darby. Of course fans cheer harder for Punk!
Punk and Darby feel things out again, tie up, and Punk headlocks. Punk grinds the hold, Darby powers up and wrenches to a hammerlock. Punk works on an escape but Darby spins through to hold onto the hammerlock! Fans rally and duel again as again Darby spins through with Punk to hold the hammerlock down. Punk tries to reach back, and he manages to snapmare but Darby rolls through again to keep the hammerlock! Darby uses his forehead for a point of leverage but Punk sits up. Punk gets to his feet, Darby schoolboys, ONE! Punk elbows Darby down and shakes out his arm. Fans cheer as Punk keeps up with Darby. Punk scoops and SLAMS Darby, covers, ONE!
Punk wraps onto Darby with a chinlock but Darby endures as Punk leans on him. Darby fights up, Punk shifts to a headlock but Darby powers out and follows to then shoulder tackle! Things speed up, Punk hurdles and runs but Darby drops and leaps, into a fireman’s carry! Darby gets right out of there to not even give Punk the GTS! Darby is a bit frustrated he got caught, but Punk patiently waits for Darby to come back. Punk appreciates the “YOU STILL GOT IT!” chants as Darby slowly returns. Darby and Punk reset, tie up, and Punk headlocks. Darby powers out, Punk blocks the hip toss to whip but Darby goes up to flying arm-drag! And back body block in the corner! Then another!
Darby fires up as Punk sits down, and Darby stands Punk up to whip him corner to corner. Punk reverses hard, and Darby gets POSTED! Darby falls out of the ring and writhes as the ref checks on him.

Winner: CM Punk, by pinfall
It was a true homecoming for Punk, and he earned this one from the Relentless young star!

Sting returns, makes sure Darby is good, then offers a handshake to Punk. Fans cheer as Punk accepts it! They both then go to help Darby, and Punk assures Darby that he has Punk’s respect, too.

What is next for all these icons, both past, present and future?
Paul Wight VS QT Marshall w/ The Factory!
The Giant said there was going to be no BS now that he was here in AEW, but there has been plenty of utter crap coming out of The Gifted and his stable of henchmen. After the Gunn Club shocked us all by turning on Wight for their own selfish reasons, has QT lucked out in not needing to face the World’s Largest Athlete? Or has all this only awoken the anger in this wrestling giant?
Wight makes his entrance and gets in the ring, and Aaron Solo(w) rushes at him! Wight catches him pretty easily and throws him right out! Nick Comoroto tries but Wight SHOVES him out! QT attacks, the bell rings and Wight grabs QT with both hands for a HEADBUTT! QT staggers away, Wight throws body shots on him in the corner, then rips open the fancy new Factory shirt to CHOP QT right on the chest! QT staggers away, stinging from that one, but Wight just clamps onto QT again. Wight hushes the crowd before he CHOPS QT again! QT crawls but Wight stands on his back! The ref counts, Wight hops off and then stalks QT back to a corner.
Fans fire up as Wight has QT up again, for another CHOP! And then CHOPS again! Wight whips QT out then into the corner, but QT boots back! QT runs to dropkick the legs out! QT throws off what’s left of his shirt to throw hands! Wight just shoves QT away but QT comes back to throw more hands! QT SHOTGUNS Wight down, then covers, TWO! And QT goes flying out of the ring! The Factory regroups, QT gets back in and runs at Wight, but Wight shoves away the cutter! Wight grits his teeth as QT stands up, and Wight rallies with big shoulders and clotheslines! Wight whips and back drops QT! Fans fire up as Wight roars, but Solo tries to grab at the Giant!
Wight drags Solo up the apron and onto the top rope, to CHOP him upside-down! Solo falls and flounders, Comoroto runs in but into the GIANT PUNCH! Wight runs to POUNCE Comoroto out of the ring! QT leaps from the top rope, into a choke grip! GIANT CHOKE SLAM! Cover, Wight wins!
Winner: Paul Wight, by pinfall
All the BS from The Factory didn’t even slow Wight down! Is Wight going to leave it at a great 1-0 debut? Or will he get hungry for some gold again?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“My old friend and rival, Minoru Suzuki. A marriage born out of pain, torture, and inflicting violence on one another.” Suzuki and Moxley in the ring is the best drug in the world, and Moxley should know cuz he’s tried them all. See, Moxley comes from a little town called Cincinnati, AEW will be there this Wednesday. “Do you know what we do with people like Minoru Suzuki in Cincinnati? Garden variety bullies.” Moxley says that on ol’ Beachmont Avenue, they BURY those bullies in the ground! Suzuki is no different! He stepped through the door, and Moxley is going to welcome him to #NastyNatti, aka the jungle! Will these two animals tear each other apart for Moxley’s personal homecoming?
Malakai Black speaks.
“You see, Dustin, I don’t want you to be calm. I want you to be as mad as humanly possible. Because they angrier you get, the more predictable you are. The more predictable you are, the bigger chance for you to slip up. And when you do… Well, you’re in the ring with me.” So just in case The Natural has calmed down some, allow Makalai to remind him of all the reasons he should be mad. Arn Anderson. Brock Anderson. Lee Johnson. And Dustin’s baby brother, Cody Rhodes. Malakai left Cody’s body all but lifeless, a crutch bent around his knee, and we have still yet to hear from him. Malakai wants Dustin to think about that as we near Wednesday. “Think about that when you realize, Dustin… That it’s time to pay the boat man’s toll.” Will the Natural’s ride be ended abruptly by the House of Black?
AEW World Championship: Kenny Omega w/ Don Callis VS Christian Cage!
The Cleaner, the Best Bout Machine, and the leader of The Elite has become more than just a #BeltCollector. He’s become a force to be reckoned with, but also the most obnoxious jackass outside of perhaps MJF. Captain Charisma tried humbling Omega by taking the Impact World Championship from him, but that only enraged the egotistical AEW World Champion more. It is time to finally have it out for #PrettyPlatinum. It is time to finally settle scores and put this to rest. It is time to finally go All Out! Will Omega be able to hold on to the most important belt in his collection? Or will we be calling Christian “Captain Double Champion” here tonight?
The introductions are made, the top AEW belt is raised, and we see if history repeats itself!
Omega tries to circumvent everything by running at Christian before the bell! Christian dodges, the V-Trigger hits buckles and now the bell rings as Christian hooks the arms! Omega powers out of the Killswitch and wags his fingers. Omega pie faces Christian so Christian pie faces back. They start throwing slaps, then they start throwing haymakers in a true brawl! Fans fire up as Christian gets the edge then runs, into a SNAP RANA! Christian bails out, Omega takes a moment to revel in himself and then Omega builds speed. Omega slides, Christian stays clear and CHOPS him in return! Christian CHOPS Omega again, then he whips him hard into railing!
Christian fetches Omega to whip him hard into the railing again! The ref wants Christian to go to the ring so he does, but to climb up the corner! Omega staggers, Christian SUPER CROSSBODIES! Direct hit and both men are down! Callis coaches Omega up but Christian is after him first. Fans rally, Callis barks at Christian but then scurries away. Christian refreshes the count to then ROCK Omega. Christian whips, Omega reverses and Christian runs into steel steps! Omega gets into the ring to refresh the count before he fetches Christian. Omega looks under the ring, tells the ref to shut up about it, and then pulls out a table!
Omega drops the table onto Christian, then goes up to the apron while Callis distracts the ref. Omega LEAPS off the apron to DOUBLE STOMP the table into Christian! The table still splinters but Christian is stuck under the wreckage! Omega says, “Oops! Did I do that?” Omega and Callis now bring out another table together! They set it up and the ref reprimands them but also starts the ring count. Omega drags Christian up, pretends he can’t hear the fans, but Christian blocks the suplex! Omega still tries, but Christian snap suplexes Omega to the floor! The ref gets frustrated and tells them to get in the ring.
Christian puts Omega in, runs and CHOPS him against ropes! Omega staggers about, Christian CHOPS more then whips. Omega reverses, Christian holds ropes, and he lets Omega back flop from his dropkick! Christian goes for the legs, wants a Cloverleaf, but Omega thumbs him in the eye! The ref reprimands but Omega runs in and INVERTED BULLDOGS Christian! Cover off the “slam dunk,” TWO! Omega clamps onto Christian with a chinlock and grinds him side to side! Christian endures, fans rally up but Callis barks for Christian to quit. Omega tries to make it a camel clutch but Christian keeps his arms free. Omega JAMS his elbow into Christian’s head and then puts him in a corner.
Omega CHOPS Christian, digs his boot into Christian’s throat, then lets off as the ref counts. Omega brings Christian around, back suplexes high and hard, then covers. TWO, and Omega is annoyed. Christian gets to a corner, Omega storms over but Christian has a leg guard. Omega stomps through it, gets Christian up to CHOP him again and again! Omega hoists Christian up top, CHOPS and CLUBS him more, but Christian fires off haymakers! Christian wants a DDT but Omega SHOVES Christian to the floor! Fans boo as Omega goes out to fetch Christian, but again the ref wants this in the ring. Omega and Callis inspect railing nearby and find a pretty steady one.
Omega jumps up but whoops! Bit of a slip! Omega is fine and laughs it off, he just has to be a bit more careful. Omega turns around to go again, MOONSAULT to knock down Christian! “Let’s face it, I meant to do that.” Omega puts Christian in and covers, TWO! Christian gets up, shoves Omega and eggs him on. Omega SLAPS Christian around, SLAPS through the guard, then brings Christian up. Christian hits back with body shots, uppercuts, then whips Omega corner to corner. Omega reverses hard and Christian bounces off buckles! Fans rally and duel as Omega gets Christian up, AOI SHOUDOU USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO!!
Omega keeps his cool and even applauds himself as he steps on Christian to go to the corner. Omega climbs up top, aims, but Christian trips him up! Omega lands on his best bout machine and Christian ROCKS him with an uppercut! Christian climbs up, and SUPER STEINERS Omega down! Fans fire up as both men are down but Callis grows worried. A standing count begins, the fans still duel, and Omega sits up at 3. Christian follows, the two slowly stand and the hands start flying! Omega JABS, Christian uppercuts, repeat! Omega JABS more and more, then shakes out his hand from hitting too hard!
Omega stands Christian up, whips him to a corner and runs in, but Christian dodges to climb up and rain down fists! Omega stops him at 5 and has the Electric Chair! Christian slips out, shoves Omega back into the corner and finishes up the punches! Christian gets another 15 for 20 total, then he stands on Omega at the ropes! Christian slingshots to UPPERCUT! Omega wobbles, Christian goes up top but Omega gets under the leap. Christian ducks the Polish Hammer to trip Omega up but again Omega fights off the Cloverleaf with fingers to the eyes! The ref reprimands, Christian holds on but Omega kicks him away! Christian bounces off buckles into a fireman’s carry!
Omega (and fans) say, “YOU! CAN’T! ESCAPE!” But then Christian slips out and hits a REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO! Omega survives again but fans chant “HE ESCAPED!” in reference to Christian. Christian aims at Omega from the corner, runs in at Omega but into a KNEE! Fans fire up and Callis is relieved as Omega gets Christian back up. Omega reels Christian in, gets him up, but Christian slips out to fire off hands! Omega RAMS Christian into the corner, fires off more, then CHOPS! Christian ROCKS Omega with another uppercut, then climbs up to reel him in. TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO!! Omega survives again but Christian keeps focus.
Omega staggers up, Christian hooks the arms but Omega elbows out this time. Omega WHEEL KICKS Christian in the back and puts him in the corner! Omega goes corner to corner and V-TRIGGERS! But Omega isn’t done, he gets Christian up for a full nelson, SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Christian sits up and sputters, then falls over as Omega gets up again. Fans want that “One More Time!” so Omega full nelsons to SNAP DRAGON again! Omega grins as Christian sputters and flounders. Omega aims his finger gun, but Christian aims his middle finger. Omega hits a THIRD SNAP DRAGON! BANG, V-TRIGGER!! Christian is on the apron but Omega pulls him into the ropes!
The ref counts, Omega lets go and stomps Christian into the apron now. Omega goes out, he and Callis laugh as Omega stands Christian up. The table is nearby but Christian holds onto ropes! The ref counts, Omega keeps trying but Christian holds on. Omega CLUBS Christian, tries the full nelson again, but Christian fights free! Christian throws elbows, turns things around and has the arms! But Omega POSTS Christian, then Electric Chair lifts! Christian fights free and HOTSHOTS Omega! Christian then SPEARS Omega off the apron and THROUGH the table!! Fans lose their minds while Christian writhes and Callis fans Omega with his suit jacket.
Both men are down as fans chant, “This is Awesome!” Christian and Omega slowly rise, the ring count passes 5 of 10, and Callis gives Omega a hand. Both men are in at 8 of 10 and fans are thunderous as this continues. Christian SPEARS Omega from behind! And then SPEARS him again!! Cover, TWO!!! Omega survives a total of three Spears but Christian isn’t done there. Christian climbs up and FROG SPLASHES onto knees! Omega saves himself and he hurries to go after Christian. Omega tries to gut wrench but his back is bothering him too much! Callis coaches Omega on and Omega POINT-BLANK V-TRIGGERS! Omega talks trash before he V-TRIGGERS again!
Omega double finger guns, runs in, but Christian blocks to fire off uppercuts! V-TRIGGER! Ripcord and FINAL FLASH! Christian is in a heap but Omega gets him up, double underhooks but no Tiger Driver! Christian back drops, Omega sunset flips but Christian rolls through and gets the legs! Omega flails and reaches to resist but Christian drags Omega away for the CLOVERLEAF! Callis signals to the back, and here come the Good Brothers! The ref is busy with Callis as Christian shoulders Karl Anderson down, but Luke Gallows grabs Christian’s arm! How can the ref not know this?! Omega runs in, Christian dodges and Gallows takes the V-Trigger!
Christian has the arms, Omega pops free to Electric Chair but Christian slips out to KILLSWITCH!! Cover, TWO?!?! Omega survives Christian’s best shot this time, having felt this from the AEW Rampage premiere! Fans rally up as Christian drags Omega to a corner. Christian puts Omega on the top rope but Callis himself gets in the ring? Christian runs the carney SOB off, goes back to Omega, and he ROCKS Omega with an uppercut. Christian climbs up, hooks Omega up again, but Omega digs fingers into Christian’s face! Omega goes to Electric Chair from up there?! SUPER ONE WINGED ANGEL!?!? Cover, Omega wins!
Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis celebrates with his cash cow- er uh, surrogate son as he retains the top title! The Young Bucks return to celebrate with Omega despite their own loss, and The Elite still stands tall. The Good Brothers do the rest as they beat up Christian on Omega’s behalf! The Bucks even join in, but here come the Jurassic Express! They’re friends of Christian’s but are heavily outnumbered! Omega even CLOBBERS Luchasaurus with the title belt! Omega gets a mic to say, “Are you finally starting to understand, Chicago? Best in the World this, Best in the World that. I don’t care if you have hometown heroes. I don’t care where you came from. NO ONE is on my level!”
Omega says he’s proven it day in, day out, month in, month out, year in and year out! It doesn’t matter where he goes, there’s always one thing for sure: “When it comes to this AEW belt, the only people that would ever have a chance to beat me, ever, are either not here, already tired, or they are already dead.” But wait! The lights go down! And when they come back up… it’s ADAM COLE?!?! Chicago goes nuts as Cole is now ALL ELITE, BAYBAY!! Talk about a shock to the system! Omega isn’t sure what to make of this since last time these two were face to face, “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” was trying to take his spot.
Fans are losing their minds, and Cole SUPERKICKS Jungle Boy!! Cole isn’t here to take anyone’s spot, he wants to be in the club again! The Bucks kiss Cole on the cheeks and Omega is relieved. “In the worlds of the all mighty Steve Urkel, ‘Did I do that?'” People thought he was legitimately afraid, didn’t they? Cole’s one of their best buds! Tell ’em, Adam! “Who’s ready for story time with Adam Cole, baybay? Boys and girls, it’s official: The Elite is the most dominant faction in the history of this business! And ain’t no chance in hell anybody’s gonna stop us!” Fans love the reference and Omega says, “That’s what I call a happy ending.”
So the only thing left is to send the fans home happy. Without any further ado, good-bye and- Wait. Is that FLIGHT OF THE VALKYRIE?! It’s Daniel… No no no. It’s BRYAN FREAKIN’ DANIELSON!!! Fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” as AEW just got that much bigger! Bryan gets in the ring and stands with Christian and Jurassic Express! Maybe now The Elite has someone on their level here! Omega bails out and the brawl begins!! YES KICKS over and over for Nick Jackson while Christian, JB and Luchasaurus clear the ring! GERMAN SUPLEX for Nick! TAIL WHIP for Gallows! Nick flounders up, fans fire up as Bryan aims, RUNNING KNEE!! What was that about dominance?!
My Thoughts:
Well, we can all say how we felt about All Out 2021, if it looked good, bad, somewhere in between on paper, and I myself felt certain moves weren’t for the best. But in actual execution, AEW cannot be doubted when it comes to giving us pro-wrestling gold. Well, I still feel high levels of cringe with this Dan Lambert stuff. He’s just yelling while using needless reverse psychology to make fans like AEW more when so much is still so good. For one, when a kickoff show match is as good as anything on the main card, that is when you know a company knows what they’re doing as far as their PPV events.
Well, okay, Paul Wight whooping The Factory should’ve been the Buy-In because it was the least of the main card. Hell, that should’ve been on Dynamite and then we could’ve gotten Malakai Black VS Dustin Rhodes here and now so if Cody’s coming back, he’d do it on a PPV. So okay, two points during this show that didn’t feel any different from what WWE might do, but AEW isn’t and will never be “perfect” either. These are just two weak points that stand out on an honestly AWESOME card. Miro VS Kingston was an awesome opener, Moxley VS Kojima was the perfect follow-up, they fired the crowd up after that bit of a break after the Buy-In.
Baker VS Statlander being a kind of audible to me where we should’ve had maybe Baker VS Rosa here as a culmination of things, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But because Statlander is a top level competitor, and because of the character work from just Cassidy where he got so fired up for once, that really brought this match alive here. Britt with that shoutout to her man was a great bit of foreshadowing, she’s a master at that stuff. Britt of course retains because as I’ve been saying, we are going to get and need to have Britt VS Rosa again. But to a great surprise, Ruby Soho got to be the Joker AND win the Casino Battle Royale. A title feud is a great way to get Ruby going for fans to be reintroduced to her now that she isn’t in the WWE, but it’d be almost too much of a shock if Ruby took the title.
Tonight’s steel cage match was perhaps the best cage match in history. Because with it not allowing escape, they didn’t overly focus on the cage itself, and we just ended up with an amazing tag match that was also in a cage. Okay, it was odd for Bucks to try an escape when it was clearly stated escapes don’t matter, but perhaps that’s a nod to cage match instincts based on tradition. And in the end, the right decision was made, Lucha Bros get the belts and usher in a new chapter for the tag division. The Final Fight was of course not the final fight for Jericho, but I do really like that they made us think MJF was gonna win on a technicality. In order to think outside the box in wrestling these days, you have to wait until the last second to reveal the trick, and that was a great one.
Punk VS Darby was just about what I expected it to be and what it should’ve been. Punk was getting into the swing of things again, trying to build up to a good speed given Darby is so fast without even trying, and we got a good back and forth on Darby’s reckless nature working in his favor but then also costing him at times. Of course Punk wins, this is his return in his hometown, you GOT to give- Oh wait that’s Best Friends. Well no, you still give the people what they want for a time like this. All Out may’ve been hyped up mostly about this match, but the ups and downs of this can’t take away from the rest. This was a solid match with a lot of fan excitement, and welcome back, Punk.
Again, Wight VS QT was whatever, but I appreciated the promo time given to Moxley and Malakai to hype up this Wednesday in Cincinnati. Moxley VS Suzuki and Malakai VS Dustin are reasons to watch in themselves, that’s going to be a great night. And then the main event here, it felt a lot faster and quicker than it perhaps was, but that’s because there weren’t as many shenanigans as usual. Which makes sense, the Bucks were battered and Cutler had his time to shine with them. Omega wins here, as I figured he would, but how amazing it is to see that both Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan chose AEW right now. Cole rejoining The Elite and Bryan standing against them is perfect to give even more momentum to year three. We honestly could be in the midst of a pro-wrestling turning point and not know it yet.
My Score: 9.6/10

No time to rap for Platinum Max, he and the Five Tool Player want to get to business! “CHIIICAAAAGOOO~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor Me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does! But Jameson talks. This is Zero Hour and not Trios Hour because Billy is scared to get in the ring with Jameson, cuz he knows Jameson will knock him right out! Just like The Iron Savages are all fired up from sipping the new flavor of Savage Sauce, the Double Chocolate Chunk! They bring the BULK~! Mini-savage “Big Justice” is at ringside is given a headband, and Jameson says they’re taking all the Low T Meat Riders to TIDDY CITY!!
The teams sort out, and Bronson starts against Bowens. The fans rally as the two circle, fans sing “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy!” Jameson says shut up, there’s no scissoring today! The two tie up, Bronson powers Bowens to the corner, then lets off, to fire haymakers! The ref counts, Bronson CHOPS, but Bowens CHOPS back! And CHOPS again! Bowens whips, Bronson reverses, but Bowens goes up and over! Then he hurdles Bronson to headlock. Bronson powers up and out, Bowens hurdles, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and FACEBUSTERS!

Zero Hour – Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
“Smart” Mark stops Arkady Aura from even starting as he introduces his team of Josh Woods, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari.

Winner: Bryan Danielson, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
The Scapegoat fails to slay The American Dragon, but he was defiant ’til the end! Bryan’s reign and in-ring career both continue through another night, but we also know “IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN~!” WAIT! LUCHASAURUS IS HERE! HE HEADBUTTS BRYAN!! The irony of Luchasaurus and Jack Perry being in the ring together again. But we know what this is about, because here comes Christian Cage! Captain Charisma is also the Casino Gauntlet contract winner, and it looks like he’s cashing in! The fans boo, but wait! Jon Moxley stands in Christian’s way!? The Maniac is still BCC, and the fans are thunderous!
Bryan smiles, he knew he could count on his friend when he needed him. Oh, and then the rest of the BCC, and even Pac, are here! The fans cheer as The Patriarchy stands down now. Christian still has his guaranteed shot, he’ll just try again another night. The fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” and The BCC stands tall with Bryan. They hug it out and the fans cheer.

Pac keeps Yuta back?! Marina Shafir BLASTS the ref!!!
Moxley chokes Bryan out and Yuta is shouting for him to stop! Bryan rips at the plastic but he’s already so tired from fighting Jack! Pac isn’t letting Yuta go, even as Yuta is near to tears! The fans chant, “This is Murder!” Moxley lets Bryan go, having rendered him unconscious. Claudio tells Yuta to come along, but Yuta goes to Bryan’s side to get that bag off him. Medics get Bryan on the oxygen tank, but Moxley, Marina, Claudio & Pac leave. Bryan is carried out of the ring and to the back. What does this mean for The BCC? What does this mean for the AEW World Trios Champions when Yuta was not in on this betrayal?
Lights Out Steel Cage: Swerve Strickland VS Hangman Page!
Just when you think these two could not have stepped over the line after what they’d already done to each other, they have found new lows to which to stoop. And as such, AEW can no longer be held responsible for what takes place. Hangman set fire to Swerve’s childhood home, but will he now burn Swerve’s career to the ground? Or will Swerve’s House be avenged with Hangman’s blood, sweat and tears?
The introductions are made, the cage is being lowered, and this does not end with escape, only pinfall, submission or knockout!

But he also got a lot of goodies in there, too. The bell rings, the haymakers fly, and the cage is secured. Swerve whips, Hangman reverses and then scoops! FALL AWAY SLAM! But Swerve kips up!? And he BOOTS Hangman down! “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve storms up on Hangman, and whips him, only for Hangman to stop short!

Swerve takes out pictures from under his belt! The pictures of Swerve’s parents and family. Nana says those are Swerve’s memories that Hangman took! Swerve STAPLES one to Hangman! Swerve mocks Hangman’s pain, laughs, and then tells Hangman this is just the beginning. Another picture, STAPLED to Hangman’s cheek! And a second staple for good measure! Swerve RIPS the picture away! The fans fire up while Swerve stalks Hangman to a corner. Nana taunts Hangman more, and Swerve goes up a corner. Swerve drags Hangman up to the top, but Hangman shoves Swerve down! Hangman adjusts, but Swerve grabs a chair!
Swerve JAMS Hangman with a chair first! Hangman is still up top, Swerve brings him into a fireman’s carry, and he THROWS him into the steel! Hangman writhes, the fans rally up, and Swerve kicks Hangman. Swerve digs his boots in, then lets off long past a five count. “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” keeps going, and Swerve brings Hangman up. Hangman fires body shots but Swerve hits back! They brawl on that tightrope, and Swerve SMACKS Hangman off steel! But then Hangman trips Swerve up! Swerve crotches on the top rope, and Hangman triangle jump LARIATS! Swerve slumps against steel, and Hangman SMACKS him off it!
Hangman dribbles Swerve’s face off steel, then he fetches some barbed wire he snuck out here! Hangman puts it around his arm, and triangle jump BARBED WIRE LARIATS Swerve down! The fans are torn, much like Swerve’s skin with those barbs! Hangman puts the wire away for now, and pushes some of the other goodies aside, so that he can run and THROW Swerve into steel! Swerve sputters, Hangman mockingly asks, “That’s your champion? That’s your man!?” Hangman storms up on Swerve, then THROWS him into steel! Hangman continues to ask the fans how they cheer Swerve after what he’s done!
The fans do duel, and Hangman TOSSES Swerve into more steel! Hangman goes back to his barbed wire, and he laces it into the cage. Hangman goes over to Swerve, brings him up, and sends him at the wire! Swerve stops, comes back, and LARIATS! The fans fire up, both men rise, and Swerve runs up, but Hangman sends him into the wire!

Hangman DIGS Swerve into the steel chain links, then he brings Swerve up again. Hangman whips Swerve, BOOTS him down, then soaks up cheers and jeers. Swerve sputters, Hangman loads up on the apron, but the cage won’t let him slingshot! The fans laugh at Hangman, so Hangman just storms in to get Swerve. Swerve ROCKS Hangman again and again! Swerve runs, ROCKS Hangman, then keeps moving! But Hangman FLAPJACKS him into steel!
The fans rally up while Nana grows worried. Nana wants the ref to make sure Swerve is alright. Hangman brings a chair over, and he JAMS Swerve with it! And he SMACKS Swerve with it! Swerve writhes, the fans are still torn, and Hangman tells the ref to let off the chair. The ref says Hangman doesn’t need the chair! Hangman gets in the ref’s face, Swerve hits a HOUSE CALL!! Swerve then uses the ref as a pommel horse, to steal BUCKSHOT!! Hangman and Swerve both fall, and the ref checks them both. Nana coaches Swerve up, and Swerve snarls. Swerve SMACKS Hangman with the chair! And SMACKS him again!
Swerve has a wild look in his eyes, and he winds up to SMACK Hangman again! Hangman collapses in a corner, but Swerve wedges the chair in another.

Hangman paces around Swerve, he drags Swerve up, and it’s hard to know if fans say “This is Awesome!” or “This is F’d up!”

The fans are going nuts already, but Hangman is after him first! Hangman CLUBS away on Swerve, drags him down a bit, and then gets under him! SUPER DUPER POWERBOMB!!!! Both men are down, but then they both rise up!?! The fans duel as hard as they can, and it is Hangman that stands! He Alabama Lifts, to DEADEYE!! Cover, TWO!?!?!?! Again, how and why!? Is Swerve just as motivated by his rage? Hangman paces around, and he grabs a chair. Hangman says he told Swerve that he would beg, so BEG! Hangman JAMS Swerve in the head!! Hangman tells Swerve to beg for mercy, but Nana says don’t!
Hangman JAMS Swerve again! Swerve laughs!? Hangman is furious, but the fans fire up! Swerve eggs Hangman on! Then he flops over…! Hangman drops his chair, sits Swerve up, and says time to embarrass him! Hangman takes Swerve’s grill away! Then he goes to the black bag, to bring out hypodermic needles!? What is Hangman doing?!? He stabs it through Swerve’s cheek!!!! The fans tell Hangman he is sickest of all, but Hangman has the chair. Swerve is like a zombie, HEADSHOT CHAIRSHOT!!!! The ref checks Swerve, he is OUT!! Hangman wins!
Winner: Hangman Page, by knockout
This went to dark places most people could never imagine, and it is Hangman who stands tall in the end. Hangman soaks up the cheers and jeers from Chicago, but is he finally done with Swerve? Will Swerve ever even be able to wrestle again? Wait, Hangman almost starts stepping back to the ring! But then whatever miniscule shred of mercy is left in him says no, leave it here. Hangman roars, having finally gotten past his past. But then the question is, what is next for The Cowboy?

The fans are thunderous as Pac finds Okada and brings him back into the ring. Pac tags in, springboards, 450 SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Pac overshot the target by just a little bit, and that may have saved Okada. But “This is Awesome!” all the same! Pac bumps Okada off buckles, then runs up to BOOT! Okada sputters and slumps down, but Pac BOOTS him again! And again! Okada falls, Pac stalks him, and he brings Okada to a corner. Pac CHOPS! And BOOTS!

Will Pac use this momentum to become International Champion against Will Ospreay? What of Okada having to take on three men to defend his title? And will Bryan not stop chasing Jack until it’s time to go All Out?
Backstage interview with The Outrunners.
Lexy Nair is with Truth Magnum, Turbo Floyd & Erica Leigh, who are still celebrating their first win on AEW TV! Can you believe it?! The Outrunners have done it! Load up the jet skis, pop the champagne, they’re taking this party to the ocean! The same week that they’re topping the merch charts is the same week they get their first win on Collision! But wait! Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir attack! Moxley uses a CROWBAR to take out Truth & Turbo! Marina just uses her bare hands to RAM Erica into a wall!! Moxley “congratulates” them, they should throw a parade.
But this is what Moxley means! Maybe they should’ve checked their egos. Moxley & Marina leave The Outrunners behind, will these two become an absolute menace in AEW?
Queen Aminata VS Missa Kate!
Though she’s come close to gold, The Queen has yet to have her crowning achievement. But will it just be a matter of time before the One & Only African Woman is a champion?

Six Man Tag: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara, Holo.grm & VS The Dark Order!
The ROH World Tag Team Champions have brought this gold from Texas to Chicago, and they also brought the shining star who has already captured the hearts of the fans. But will The Natural, The Spanish God and the futuristic luchador be a top tier trio? Or will Evil Uno, John Silver & Alex Reynolds prove #DarkOrderIsGood enough for golden opportunities?
The teams sort out and Hologram starts against Uno. The fans fire up for Hologram, but Uno offers a handshake? Hologram takes it, but Uno kicks low! Uno whips, Hologram handsprings to arm-drag! Hologram dodges Uno, goes up and over, then slips around to go to the apron! Then he goes to the other side, keeps moving, and Uno gets frustrated. Uno runs up, but into a GMAANGIRI!

The fans fire up, Silver runs in, but Sammy SUPERKICKS! Dustin joins in, and they build speed! Team Texas fakes out The Dark Order, and they DOUBLE SPINAROONI! Then Hologram fakes Uno out, to handspring and hero pose! The fans fire up, but then Dark Order drags Team Texas out while Rampage goes picture in picture!
Silver RAMS Dustin into railing, Uno does the same to Hologram, and Reynolds whips Sammy into some! Uno drags Sammy into the ring, keeps him from his corner, and then tags in Silver. The Dark Order stomps away on Sammy, but lets off as the ref counts. Silver flexes, drags Sammy up and scoops to SLAM! Silver flexes again, he’s freakin’ jacked, baby! Cover, ONE!! Silver keeps on Sammy and ROCKS him with a forearm. Tag to Reynolds but the whole Dark Order mugs Sammy! The ref counts, Reynolds snapmares, and he stands on Sammy at ropes.

Sammy stays in this but Uno stays on him. Uno drags Sammy back to stomp a leg! Tag to Silver, and Silver stays between Sammy and his team. But Sammy fires hands! Silver wobbles, Sammy fires more shots, and Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns as Reynolds back suplexes, but Sammy lands out! Uno back suplexes, Sammy lands out! Sammy ELBOWS Silver, dodges the rest, hot tag to Dustin! The fans fire up as Dustin rallies, then whips. Reynolds reverses but Dustin says “Not Today!” RHODES UPPERCUT! Atomic drop! Dustin runs to BOOT and BULLDOG! Silver runs up, into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Uno runs up, into a SNAP POWERLSAM! Reynolds tries, SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Dustin tags Sammy. Sammy tags Hologram, and the trio gets Dark Order up. They all JAB! JAB! JAB! Dark Order shoves back, dodges, and shout STOP! Then TRIPLE SLAP!!
The fans boo but Silver has Hologram on ropes! Silver gets moving, Dark Order TRIPLE KICK COMBO! GERMAN SUPLEX! Silver fires up, the fans are torn, and we see The Premier Athletes all watching. Reynolds & Uno get Hologram up for Silver to run, but Hologram avoids the pendulum! Dustin & Sammy DUMP Silver, Hologram dodges Evil Y Reynolds, and he gives Sammy a boost to MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Sammy & Hologram go to the apron! They SUPERKICK Uno & Silver, then go up the corners! DOUBLE ASAI MOONSAULTS!! Direct hits, and then DESTROYER for Reynolds!
Dustin calls to Sammy, Sammy goes up to FLYING CUTTER! Hologram goes up to 450 SPLASH!! Cover, Team Texas wins!
Winners: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm, by pinfall
A great debut on Rampage for Hologram, a great win overall for the ROH World Tag Team Champions, will they keep this going until they’re dripping with gold?
The Bang Bang Gang speaks.
Juice Robinson says here’s the thing about the AEW Trios Division: You need momentum on your side. You ain’t gonna get the job done with a win here and there. You need to string ’em together, snowball effect. W after W after W! Austin says chill. They all want W’s, but there is something serious to address. Austin still doesn’t have a nickname! They’ve got Fully Cocked Colten Gunn! Rock Hard Juice Robinson! And… What do they have for Austin? Colten thinks on it. But in steps The Cage of Agony. Bishop Kaun says he has an idea: Ass Boy Austin! Oh, clever, clever. No right, here’s one: Runner Up in the Top Prospect Tournament!
Wow, that was a long time ago, Kaun. Not relevant. The Machine says there has to be a better one. Kaun has it now: Nepo Baby. What? Like he’s got a famous mom or something? Kaun says okay, no, this is the best: Former AEW World Trios Champion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s just everyone here right now. Colten says that’s tough talk coming from the team that lost the ROH World Six Man titles to them. Cage says hey, Colten, you might be a “body guy” compared to the rest of this roster, but stepping to The Machine, watch your tone. Shake weights don’t count, Cage. Cage says the only reason Bang Bang Gang won cuz they had six guys at the time!
Nowadays, the three Bang Bang Gang won’t beat The Cage of Agony. Then let’s find out! If you’re not down with that, they have two words for ya! GUNS- Wait! The Cage of Agony block the finger guns! They clap their hands and say, “Gates, OPEN!” Toa Liona roars, Juice roars back, sorta. Will the Collision Cowboys be able to bring down these three behemoths? Or will they be caught inside The Cage of Agony?
BREAKING NEWS!
Lexy Nair says for the Zero Hour, there will be a TRIOS TRIPLE THREAT! Standing by are two of the three teams, Top Flight Crew’s Darius, Dante & Action, and Shane Taylor Promotions with Beast Mortos. But then the third team can be heard coming as Roderick Strong shouts “BEEEEAST!” Roddy thought Mortos was Kingdom! Shane says Mortos followed the money, so can he help them? Matt Taven says Mortos hasn’t learned the value of a dollar! Mike Bennett says Shane can’t help them, but they can help Shane, because surprise, guess who the third team is? Yeah, it’s The Kingdom. And there’s a BIG winner’s purse put on this one.
Not that it’s going to more matching outfits, Top Flight. The Kingdom leaves, Action says check it. In the end, it doesn’t matter whose side The Beast is on, it won’t be the winning side. And Top Flight IS. They will fly home with that guac. CHACHING~! So buckle up. Lee Moriarty has Shane and Mortos calm down. Will #TAIGASTYLE have just the plan to come away with that big money cash prize?
Friday Night Fashion Fight: The MXM Collection VS The House of Black!
It’s hard to say there are any rules outside the norm for this match, other than to dress to impress. Will Mansoor & Mason Madden prove that no matter what, they’re always the best dressed in the locker room? Or will Brody King & Buddy Matthews give them a makeover involving bruises, lacerations and hospital gowns?
Wait, who is this weirdo in the trash bag and oversized wood sandals? Why is he being carried out here? These are the judges for this Fashion Fight?! Well, what do you expect from modern fashion these days? Anyway, the teams sort out, and the Iron Chic starts against the Aussie Juggernaut. The fans bark for the House of Black, and Mansoor dodges Buddy. Mansoor struts, POSES, and calls for a score. Tens across the board! Buddy scowls, waistlocks, Mansoor switches, but Buddy switches. Mansoor switches again, shoves, and POSES! Another score of tens across the board! Feels like they’re a bit biased, though…
Buddy and Mansoor tie up, Mansoor waistlocks, Buddy switches, but Mansoor ELBOWS free! Mansoor runs, sunset flips, but Buddy stays up! Buddy drags Mansoor up, TOSSES him, then blocks a boot! Buddy swings on Mansoor but Mansoor stays in the ropes! The ref counts, Buddy lets off, and the judges give Buddy all threes! Yeah, definitely biased. Mansoor headlocks, Buddy powers out, and they RAM shoulders! Buddy doesn’t budge, and he headlocks for a takeover! Mansoor headscissors, Buddy kips free, then he avoids the sweep. Buddy headlocks, Mansoor powers up and out, but Buddy CLOBBERS him!
Mansoor gets up, Buddy blocks the kick and FLIPS Mansoor! Mansoor scrambles away, asks for a score, and Buddy gets a total of 4! Mansoor says he is still better than Buddy, and he tags Mason in. The Mahogany Hunk calls out the King of Death, and the fans bark it up! Buddy tags Brody, and Mason is all fired up! Brody stares Mason down, but then Mansoor tags in? Mansoor steps up to Brody, says eat this, and CHOPS! But Brody doesn’t budge! The judges still give all tens! But Brody CHOPS Mansoor! Mansoor falls, the judges can’t hep but admit, that was a seven. Mansoor RIPS that seven, and finds the “YOU SUCK” one among them!
But then Mansoor turns around, and Brody CROSSBODIES them all!! That’s a ten, as in, a STRIKE! The fans fire up as Brody holds up the ten! Mason runs up but Buddy FLYING KNEES him down! Mason is in a daze, Buddy holds up the ten, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Brody drags Mansoor up to run and RAM him into railing! Brody CHOPS Mansoor against apron, Buddy says ten! The fans cheer, “TEN! TEN! TEN!” Brody kicks Mansoor into the ring, drags him up, and CHOPS! TEN! Mansoor stings, he feels more like a two right now. Buddy tags, he drags Mansoor up and CHOPS him down! TEN! Mansoor bails out, the House pursues, and they put Mansoor back in. But Mason ancohrs Buddy! Buddy kicks Mason, but Mansoor DRAPING DDTS Buddy!! Tag to Mason, and he SENTONS! Anmd ELBOW DROPS! And covers, ONE!! Mason snarls, he tags Mason, and MXM double whip.
MXM DOUBLE ELBOW, POSE, but no judges to score it. DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Mansoor drags Buddy up, tags Mason in, and MXM mugs Buddy. Mason whips Mansoor in, but Buddy BOOTS him! Buddy goes up and over Mason, but Mansoor lifts Buddy! Mason runs, HIGH KICK SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Mason stares Brody down, drags Buddy up, and puts him on ropes. Mason CHOKES Buddy, lets off as the ref counts, and Mansoor hip attacks! Mansoor says kiss this, and Mason tags him in. MXM regroup on the apron, finger boop and DOUBLE HIP ATTACK! Buddy sputters as MXM clap them cheeks!
MXM go again, but Buddy mores! Mansoor takes the worse of that, and Buddy BLASTS them both off the apron! Mansoor hurries back in, and he CLOBBERS Buddy! Mansoor drags Buddy up, brings him over, and Mason steps in. MXM whips Buddy to the corner, then shake their booties. Rampage returns to single picture, Mansoor runs in, but Buddy BOOTS him down! Mansoor falls to his knees, Buddy runs up and uses him for a step! FLYING KNEE into Mason! The fans fire up as Buddy and MXM are all down! Buddy crawls, but Mason YANKS Brody down! The fans boo, but Mason eggs Brody on. Mansoor rolls Buddy, TWO!

SHINING WIZARD in the corner! Buddy puts Mansoor up top then climbs! But Mason CLUBS Buddy! Mason Electric Chairs, but Buddy slips free! Mason is sent into Mansoor, Mansoor lands hard on his runway! Mason grabs Buddy, but Buddy flips free of the choke slam! Buddy then DUMPS Mason out, Brody is in! Brody DIVES onto Mason!! The big men hit railing, and Buddy has Mansoor! SUPER DUPER PLEX!
Buddy rolls through, Brody is in, Mansoor is thrown into DANTE’S INFERNO!! Cover, The House of Black wins!
Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall
Talk about “Brutal fashion,” this was a victory as beautiful as it was vicious! Brody & Buddy proved #TheHouseAlwaysWins, but will they win their way back to title opportunities?
Will Ospreay speaks.
“I have been asked all day today, ‘How you feelin’, Will? You feelin’ alright?’ I dunno how you feel when you’ve taken a Poison-Rana on the stage and a brainbuster on some stage carts, mate, but yeah, hunky dury. I’m feeling great. I’m feeling great to cut these ties that bind myself to Pac. That’s history, right? See, Pac, everybody might know you as The Bastard right now, or maybe they know you as The Man Gravity Forgot. I know you as a UK backyard wrestler. You see, I could say words to you right now that’d perk your ears up that no one else knows. I could say stuff like Steve Farrow. I could say stuff like NAW.
“Because I’ve walked in your shoes. When I walked into that territory that you left, they’d say, ‘Man, you’re good. You ain’t Pac.’ They said the same thing on the UK independents. They said, ‘You’re good, but you’re not Pac.'” Ospreay made them all eat their words, and then he walked on the bridge Pac built, from England to Japan. Pac paved the way for him and Ospreay is thankful. But when Ospreay walked in there, they also said, “You’re good, but you’re not Pac.” Ospreay has been chasing Pac, and five years ago, Pac was Dragon Gate Dream Gate Champion, and Ospreay was NEVER Openweight Champion, and they didn’t get a decision. It was a 30 minute time limit draw.
You think Ospreay is satisfied with that? Nah, bruv! Ospreay’s still been chasing Pac! And here it is. Without even realizing it, Ospreay has lapped Pac. When Pac hit that rana, and Ospreay heard that crappy northern accent, “Don’t you underestimate me.” You thought Ospreay forgot? Nah, bruv. Ospreay could never forget Pac. Not all the work Pac’s done, not all the history they have. No one has forgotten about Pac. He just has been in this position so many times, we’ve lost faith. Wanna change it? Then there’s 24 hours left, bruv. These two may not have had their Wembley Moment together, but who walks away having won THE moment?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage as part of the go-home night to All Out, though they of course accommodated the bleed over from Collision. Good stuff, already talked about it all for the Collision article, and I also touched on Moxley & Marina jumping The Outrunners with that article, too. It was easy heat for Moxley & Marina beating up on The Outrunners, who just had their big moment, but Moxley touched on not celebrating mediocrity and being humble in victory. Darby Allin will probably respond by saying this is just Moxley being a bully. Anyway, good win for Aminata, and Deeb watching her sets up how they’ll be feuding soon enough.
Good promo of Bang Bang Gang and Cage of Agony, and they’ll have a very good match, probably naming the winners the #1 contenders to the World Trios Championships. More than I can say for Premier Athletes. What business do Nese, Daivari & Woods have watching Dustin & Sammy like they’re gonna get any of the ROH titles off them? Nese, Daivari & Woods lose to all sorts of established names, Dustin, Sammy & The Von Erichs will be no different. But still a really good, really fun Six Man Tag of Dustin, Sammy & Hologram beating Dark Order. Dark Order really is a trio that should’ve been given more, but oh well.
Good promo segment from Kingdom, STP and Top Flight, with another of these kayfabe’d money prize matches happening just because. Like, title opportunities not being won here? I know Roddy is waiting to go after the FTW Championship, but why not have him & The Kingdom try to move up from ROH titles to AEW titles in this match? Though, Top Flight might be right. They won that $3000 trios royale thing a year or so ago, they might win this one so that they keep making money and building their budget for more airline pilot gimmick gear.
And while I was expecting a fashion show themed Street Fight, I suppose judges giving scores was good enough of a gag for this match. The fashion themed Street Fight would’ve probably been better, though. But the House of Black would’ve won out anyway, so best to do it in a standard rules match. And then a great promo from Ospreay to properly frame this feud with Pac. I do wish they would’ve let this be the All In match but whatever, this will still be a show stealer of a match for All Out. But as I said for Collision, and even Dynamite on Wednesday, Pac has been standing tall so the math favors Ospreay retaining the title.
My Score: 8.7/10
