AEW hears from Daniel Garcia and 2point0.
Matt Lee is fired up as he calls out Darby Allin. “You got Punk on the mind, don’t ya?” But do NOT look past their “son,” Daniel Garcia. Jeff Parker adds that you certainly don’t look ahead to Sunday, and arguably the biggest match in AEW history. Darby VS Punk, Parker’s excited, just not for the match. What Parker’s excited for how they can be the ones to take that match away from the fans! Garcia speaks up now, telling Darby that this Friday, on Rampage, “when I take you down to the mat and twist your body into the most uncomfortable ways that I can imagine, I am going to hurt you.” Red Death says there is not a shot Darby makes it to All Out, but will he be the one feeling the pain on Friday?
CM Punk is here!
The fans are thunderous for the Best in the World as he heads to the ring this close to his in-ring return. Punk gets the mic but takes a moment to revel in the fans chanting for him. “Are you guys sick of me yet? Because I gotta tell ya, this is too good to be true.” Punk could spend weeks, months even, just hearing Cult of Personality and feeling the love. There might even be some people out there who get tired of it real fast, but Punk ain’t one of them. Punk’s going to enjoy this while it lasts, because he knows that Sunday, in this very same building, “this could all end for me.” Punk is just being realistic, as he hasn’t wrestled in seven years, and is nervous, maybe even scared.
Fans assure Punk, “You Still Got It!” and he crosses his fingers in hopes of that. But knowing it could end, Punk wants to promise us this: every time he laces up his boots, every time he comes down the aisle, he will give us his very best. But wait! Garcia and 2point0 jump Punk! Punk does his best to fight them off but this is 3v1! They mug Punk as fans boo, stomping and hammering him again and again! This is another part of their plan to cancel the highly anticipated All Out match! But here comes Darby and Sting! Garcia and 2point0 get what shots they can in on Punk, then they brawl with Sting and Darby! Darby POSTS Garcia!
Punk and Sting fight off 2point0! Punk rains down fists on Parker in the corner, Sting DECKS Lee and has him in a corner, and Darby throws Garcia into the ring! Darby climbs a corner while Sting gets Lee in the dragon sleeper! Punk has Parker in a facelock and sees what’s going on around him, so he fireman’s carries Parker! COFFIN DROP! SCORPION DEATH DROP! And G T S!! Fans are thunderous again as Punk and Darby stand tall but also stare down. Sting gets a mic and Punk clears the ring of 2point0 so the Icon can speak. Sting says, “I gotta admit, I always did want to share a ring with you. Mucho respect, okay?” Their paths never did cross, even after all this time.
But that was then, this is now. And speaking of now, it felt really good for Sting to see the Go To Sleep happen right in front of him. It felt good to see a Coffin Drop, and it felt good to hit a Death Drop again. Sting says it just felt good to clear traffic, because they have the same goal in mind. They all want to see Punk VS Darby at All Out. Now things are out of the way, and that must include Sting. Darby is ready to go mano a mano, so Sting is going to fist bump his tag partner and head to the back. At All Out, when Darby and Punk collide, “it’s gonna be showtime for sure.” Sting steps away so Darby and Punk can stare down again. Is Punk as ready as the Relentless One to go all out in the ring?
AEW profiles Kenny Omega VS Christian Cage.
Excalibur says, “For many years, Kenny Omega was known as one of the best wrestlers in the world, if not the best wrestler in the world.” JR adds that Omega’s maintained this “strangle hold on the AEW World title is because he’s just that damn good.” JR says Omega is the best singles wrestler in the world and Excalibur notes that not many can say they’ve beaten Omega in an AEW ring. But Christian Cage is one of them. Paul Wight notes Christian’s undefeated streak in AEW, and how he pinned Omega for the Impact World Championship on Rampage’s debut.
Mark Henry says Christian has charisma and talent, but Tony Schiavone asks, “How can you say Kenny Omega’s gonna lose a big match?” Taz says this match will be unbelievable. Wight says Christian going into a PPV with this level of momentum might make All Out “the worst night in Kenny Omega’s life.” What happens when Captain Charisma tries to take Big Platinum from the Best Bout Machine on AEW’s biggest show of the year?
Tony Schiavone interviews MJF.
This Sunday, “Chris Jericho puts his career on the line against this man, the most disgusting, despicable human being that I’ve ever been around in my life,” and doing this interview is not something comfortable for Schiavone to do. But MJF says, “What an intro, Tony, such a professional.” MJF lists the various nicknames: “Cowboy Chris,” the Lionheart, the Man of 1004 Holds, the Sexy Beast, the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n Rolla, the Best in the World at What He Does, the Painmaker, the GOAT, Le Champion, the Demo God, Chris Jericho. Four decades of consistently evolving to stay at the top and being universally known as the greatest, Jericho’s career is unparalleled.
And whether or not MJF, Jericho’s “greatest rival,” cares to admit it, Jericho’s name is forever etched into the Mount Rushmore of pro-wrestling. But let’s not get it twisted. By the time MJF’s career is said and done, he will be taking Jericho’s place. And it will take fans a long time to get used to that, but MJF doesn’t mind being everyone’s “pro-wrestling stepdad”. MJF has big shoes to fill, that’s no easy feat. Muhammad Ali was once considered the greatest boxer, but he thought that one too many times. Ali kept coming back and coming back for the spotlight until his brains were scrambled eggs and his body was a shell of what it once was.
“Look in the mirror, Jericho.” After all MJF has put Jericho through, Jericho is like Ali. His legs are shaky, his back is aching, and it takes him five hours to get to sleep at night and a whole lot longer to get out of bed in the morning! MJF says Jericho is on a downward spiral! But just like Ali, Jericho’s an addict. Jericho needs the spotlight. Jericho craves it, because it is oh so intoxicating. MJF has taken that from Jericho three times already, “and when a man like you loses that spotlight, you’re willing to do just about anything to get it back.” That’s why Jericho is doing this. That’s why on September 5th, All Out, MJF will have the honor and privilege of ending one of the greatest runs in pro-wrestling!
MJF says it is so poetic that the same yearning that got Jericho “to the dance” will be the same reason his music dies. The Salt of the Earth isn’t pulling any punches, will he be the one to put Jericho’s lights out once and for all?
Orange Cassidy VS Jack Evans w/ Matt Hardy!
Freshly Squeezed has been getting closer and closer to shutting down the Hardy Family Office, but not even a broken nose and busted face can keep Big Money Matt down. Speaking of which, Hardy goes right after Cassidy the second he’s in the ring! The ref has to pull Hardy away, and then EJECTS him! Now Cassidy and Evans will be truly 1v1! Will Jack Evans’ body pay for the check Hardy’s anger just wrote for him?
Cassidy is still okay to compete so the bell rings, and Evans SCREW HIGH KICKS him down! Evans hammers away on Cassidy, wrenches and knees him to ropes, then whips him for a big jump kick! Evans kips up to show off, then he runs at Cassidy in a corner. Handspring back elbow, then a snap suplex! Evans rains down rights, stomps Cassidy down, then brings him up to CLUB him on the back. Evans KICKS Cassidy down but fans boo. Evans drags Cassidy back up, throws muay thai knees, then has Cassidy in the corner. Evans goes corner to corner again but Cassidy dumps him out hard! Evans gets back up to springboard, but Cassidy ducks under!
Cassidy speeds up, ducks, dodges and redirects to dodge again! Tilt-o-whirl DDT! Cover, TWO!! Evans survives but Cassidy keeps cool. Cassidy takes off the armband but Evans bails out. So Cassidy DIVES! Direct hit into railing, and Cassidy puts Evans in the ring. Cassidy goes up top and leaps for a BIG crossbody! Cover, TWO! Evans staggers up into a scoop, MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Cassidy gives those devastating kicks to Evans! As well as the air between them! Evans rushes in, Cassidy gets around to a waistlock, but Evans switches. Cassidy switches, Evans switches back, and again, and again, and again! Evans is getting annoyed but the switching continues!
Cassidy shoves Evans into a corner, runs in but is put on the apron. Cassidy bumps Evans off buckles, fans fire up as he climbs again, but Evans ROCKS Cassidy first! Evans fires off hands, climbs up top, then stands Cassidy up. Cassidy blocks the superplex and throws body shots as AEW goes picture in picture.
Cassidy adjusts position, Evans throws hands then shifts position himself. Evans has Cassidy on the inside, but Cassidy still blocks his suplex. Cassidy throws body shot after body shot after body shot! Evans elbows Cassidy in the head over and over! Evans jumps up and over and comes back but into a mule kick! Cassidy adjusts, Evans goes up, SPIDER GERMAN SUPLEX! Cassidy lands hard, staggers up, but Evans CORKSCREW QUEBRADAS! Cover, TWO!! Cassidy survives but Evans sits him up for a PENALTY KICK! Evans drags Cassidy up to PENALY KICK again! Evans still isn’t done, he gets Cassidy up for a stalling suplex! Evans sits Cassidy up again for a third PENALTY KICK!
Evans stands Cassidy up again, but Cassidy cradle counters! Cassidy wins!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
Well, that was outta nowhere! Evans is furious and arguing about things, but the count was the count! Hardy rushes back out now that the ringside ban is over, and he CLOBBERS Cassidy! Hardy rains down furious fists then drags Cassidy up. But here come Best Friends! Chuck Taylor and Wheeler Yuta run off Hardy, but here comes the rest of the HFO! The Private Party, Angelico and The Blade all mug Cassidy, Chuck and Yuta! But here comes Jurassic Express! Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus and Marko Stunt have their own beef with the HFO, will they become honorary Best Friends in this battle against Big Money Matt and his henchmen?
AEW profiles Miro VS Eddie Kingston.
The Mad King knows the AEW TNT Champion thinks of himself as God’s Favorite Champion, but then says, “Why is the DDT your Kryptonite? Because your neck is the Kryptonite!” Kingston promises to go after that neck, and everything Miro loves and desire, such as the TNT title. Without that title, Miro’s no longer anyone’s favorite. But Kingston wants Miro to take his hand as they “walk through Hell together.” And if Miro makes it through, then maybe Miro can go to Heaven.
Miro counters now. “Kingston’s talking about DDT’s and Kryptonite. God’s Favorite Champion stays down only for his wife in our hotel room after a victory.” The Mad King is going to realize redemption comes through agony, and Miro will bring both! “This is the word of the Redeemer.” But will Kingston make Miro eat his words along with an Uraken back hand?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Everybody wants a piece of AEW, they’re coming from everywhere. I think it’s time we send a message about who’s still at the top of the food chain in AEW!” Moxley got his FedEx back from Tokyo, and one contract was signed. Only one man had the balls to step through the “forbidden door” and “chase the bogeyman.” That man is Satoshi Kojima. What a treat for the fans to see a NJPW legend in person. But then Moxley was insulted, realizing that only some “crazy old man” was willing to go toe-to-toe with him. Once the bell rings, there’s no respect. Moxley wants to take someone’s head off.
Every time he drops someone on their head, he is trying to break their neck! Every time he squeezes the throat, he wants to break their esophagus. So in Chicago, Moxley is coming for Kojima’s scalp! Has Kojima bitten off more than he can chew accepting the Maniac’s open challenge?
Jim Ross is in the ring.
Fans cheer but Good Ol’ JR admits he is feeling bittersweet. This is his first in-ring interview with AEW, and he will be talking to one of his longest term wrestling friends. JR personally feels what is happening is a bad decision, but we’ll hear why from this future hall of famer, the MVP of AEW, Chris Jericho! Fans cheer as and sing Judas for Le Champion as he makes his entrance. Jericho says he wants to say something he hasn’t said in a long time. “Welcome to, Chicago Is Jericho!” Jericho felt it was a good time to call back to the past, since 22 years ago, he started his “main event journey” in the business in Chicago!
It was at the All State Arena, and the man who recruited him for that journey is Good Ol’ JR! That is why Jericho wants JR out here for this moment. JR says it is an honor, but he wants to ask, why is Jericho putting this on himself? If Jericho loses, he stops wrestling in AEW. Why is this the stipulation? Jericho remembers that day when he signed with JR, and that is a good question. But first off, “MJF, you are a piece of shit!” Fans cheer for that one! Jericho says MJF is diabolical and calculating, just like him, and MJF is also a button-pusher, just like Jericho. MJF is confident and arrogant, but so is Jericho. The only thing MJF has over Jericho are those three wins.
Jericho remembers them exactly: 11/7/2020; 5/5/2021; and 8/18/2021. “Those dates are burned in my brain, JR.” Jericho can’t let this go, so that is why he has to put it all on the line to beat MJF. Jericho has never been complacent, it’s why he’s in AEW in the first place. Jericho first came here about three years ago, there was no guarantee AEW was going to succeed. JR was there, there was no guarantee this was going to be a success. And yet, here we are! Episode 100 of Dynamite “as the hottest wrestling company in the world today!” Fans chant for Jericho and “A E DUB!” as Jericho says if he hadn’t taken this chance, he’d be kicking himself for being complacent.
Sure, Jericho could just stay in AEW a long time, have a lot more great matches, win a lot more championships, but every time he looks in the mirror, he’d know, “You couldn’t beat MJF!” Fans boo that but Jericho says he couldn’t live with that. That’d be the beginning of the end of Le Champion and Jericho’s time in this ring. But Jericho doesn’t want it to be the end! Jericho wants more, he never wants to stop! Fans chant “WE WANT MORE!” and he says this is why he has to take this chance. If something horrible happens and the journey ends where it began, “then so be it.”
Jericho will go to commentary and do his best there full-time, and thank all the fans around the world for helping him make his dreams come true. Then Jericho will thank us for letting him be a part of our lives, and for being a big part of his. “But before that happens, remember Max. You’re not gonna take this away from me! You will not take this away from me! If you want Chris Jericho out of this ring, you’re gonna have to be the best you’ve ever been!” MJF will have to be the best MJF has ever been, breaking every bone in Jericho’s body and squeezing ever breath out of Jericho’s lungs!
But it won’t happen, though, because he IS Chris Jericho! And MJF doesn’t have the BALLS to get rid of him! “See you on Sunday, at All Out, ya little prick!” Jericho is the most fired up he’s ever been in his illustrious career! Will Sunday be Jericho’s finale? Or just another epic reinvigoration?
AEW profiles Darby Allin VS CM Punk.
Darby says, “CM Punk said if he was 15 years old, Darby Allin would’ve been his favorite wrestler. Well, when Darby Allin was 15 years old, CM Punk was his favorite wrestler.” But seven years ago, Punk left, and that is when Darby entered pro-wrestling himself. Then Punk said something Darby didn’t really like: Punk said Darby was first on his list. Darby says that is Punk already overlooking him. Punk has seen what Darby’s willing to do, and it is stuff Punk’s never even felt in that ring. So Punk saying Darby was first on the list when Darby should’ve been last on the list, now Darby knows what he needs to do. Darby needs to do the impossible: beat CM Punk in Chicago, or die trying.
Brian Cage VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs w/ Team Taz!
The Machine knows with Hook in Hobbs’ corner, it is only a matter of time before Team Taz goes after him all together. So that’s why Cage is hitting Hobbs first at the ramp! Taz is on commentary and protesting that this is “typical Cage,” doing things the cowardly way! Cage bumps Hobbs off the apron, but Hobbs hits back with forearms. The behemoths brawl as the ref tells them to get in the ring, but Cage bumps Hobbs off the apron again. Cage whips Hobbs hard into railing! The ref keeps telling Cage to get in the ring but Cage whips Hobbs hard into railing again! Cage throws haymakers and knees into Hobbs before putting him in the ring.
The bell finally rings, Cage gets Hobbs up but Hobbs gets away. Cage pursues as they go back out the ring, and Hook plays roadblock. Taz says Cage better not hit his son, but Cage just goes back into the ring to go after Hobbs. Hobbs drops elbows then ax handles over and over. Hobbs steadies himself, drags Cage back up, but Cage scoops first! Hobbs slips out, shoves Cage and then CLOBBERS him with a full body check! “Who betta?!” Hobbs says, mocking Cage’s own catchphrase. Hobbs chokes Cage on the ropes while AEW goes picture in picture.
The ref reprimands, Hobbs lets off, then digs his knee into Cage! The ref counts, Hobbs lets off again and Cage flounders in the corner. Hobbs whips Cage corner to corner, then runs in to clothesline! Hobbs digs his fingers into Cage’s face and talks trash but the ref counts. Hobbs stops to whip Cage corner to corner again. Cage goes up and over and even somersaults before running back in! Uppercut, gamangiri and GER- No! Hobbs elbows free of the waistlock to then CLOBBER Cage again! Hobbs drops knees over and over, targeting the ribs. Hobbs digs a knee into Cage’s side while pulling him in with a headlock! Cage endures, Hobbs lets off and then soaks up the heat.
Hobbs grins as he looms over Cage. Hobbs stomps Cage but Cage throws body shots. Cage fights up and throws hands, then catches Hobbs’ clothesline into a clinch. Hobbs fights off the lift with elbows, then LARIATS Cage down! Hobbs catches his breath before he stands over Cage. Hobbs rains down fists, drags Cage up to the ropes to choke him again, but lets off as the ref counts 4. Hobbs smirks again as he yanks the ropes and snaps Cage back. Hobbs KICKS Cage in the side, talks trash as he stands over Cage, and then brings Cage back up. AEW returns to single picture as Hobbs ROCKS Cage with a right.
Hobbs RAMS Cage into the corner, throws his shoulders in more, then gives a quick headbutt as he lets off. Hobbs brings Cage around, reels him in and puts one out, but Cage fights out to fireman’s carry! Hobbs slips out to waistlock, Cage switches to half nelson, COMPLETE SHOT! Both behemoths are down and a standing count begins. Fans rally up as both men go to opposite sides of the ring. Hobbs and Cage use the ropes to stand up, and they run at each other! DOUBLE CLOTHESLINES, but neither man falls! Another DOUBLE CLOTHESLINES, then Cage boots away Hobbs’ next clothesline to mule kick and front kick to SUPERKICK!
Hobbs staggers, Cage clinches, EXPLODER! Fans fire up with Cage as he uppercuts, gamangiris and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO! Cage keeps his cool as he paces. Cage slashes the throat, drags Hobbs up, but Hobs wrenches out and RAMS shoulders! Hobbs scoops, Cage slips off and schoolboys. Hobbs rolls through, ducks the discus, SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Cage survives and Hobbs is furious! Hook tells Hobbs to finish this and Hobbs tells the ref to back off. Hobbs glares down at Cage and eggs him on. Cage sits up but Hobbs brings him up, only for Cage to JUMP KNEE! Fireman’s carry, F5!! Cage fires up but Hobbs goes to the apron!
Cage gets Hobbs, brings him to a corner, and then DEAD LIFT SUPERPLEXES Hobbs up and in!! “WHO BETTA?!” Fans fire up behind Cage as he drags Hobbs up again. Hook distracts the ref, Hobbs fights the suplex to shove Cage, into a BELT SHOT from Ricky Starks! When did Ricky get here!? Hobbs scoops Cage, for TOWN BIDNESS! Cover, Hobbs wins!!
Winner: Will Hobbs, by pinfall
Taz says THAT is teamwork, and Starks pretends to be shocked! Cage lost an unofficial handicap match, will he ever get a fair shake against the team that betrayed him?
Malakai Black speaks.
“What a weird narrative to spin, Mr. Johnson.” Supposedly, Malakai left the ring because Lee Johnson showed up? No, Malakai left because he is the one who dictates the pace. Since then, it has been seven days. “Seven days to atone for interrupting me.” Malakai wants us to know he actually showed mercy to Cody Rhodes, and to Arn and Brock Anderson, because he granted them “a swift death.” Johnson will not be so lucky, however. Malakai plans to make Johnson suffer. Then a coin will be placed on each of Johnson’s eyelids, so that when he is sent down to Hades, Johnson can pay the boat man’s toll. Will Big Shotty’s offense have little affect on the man from the House of Black?
The Factory is in the ring.
QT Marshall says “What we don’t do on Dynamite is stand on the stage like a bunch of little kids and laugh at QT Marshall.” So Paul Wight, get your big ass out here and try to laugh in QT’s face, man to man, “heavyweight to heavyweight.” Wight makes his way to the ring, not caring that QT has added to the numbers of The Factory since last time. Wight gets right in the ring, and the Factory swarms him! QT stays back to bark orders, but Wight EXPLODES out of the corner! Wight DECKS one Factory flunky, runs over both Comoroto and the next biggest guy at the same time, then choke grips the final newbie for a CHOKE SLAM!
Aaron Solo is up top, he LEAPS at Wight, but Wight SWATS him like a fly! QT has bailed out long before Gunn Club rushes out there to even the odds. QT has a chair, but the Gunn Club boys gets at him and takes away that chair! Fans chant, “QT SUCKS! QT SUCKS!” and now there’s only the All Out showdown- WAIT! Billy Gunn just gives Wight a chairshot to the back?! Why!? QT himself is shocked, but Wight gets up again. Gunn HEAD SHOTS Wight with the chair!! QT legitimately has no idea why the Gunn Club just betrayed the Giant, but his Factory is still taking advantage! They get Wight up for QT to hit the DIAMOND CUTTER! Will QT be even more of a vulture come All Out?
Schiavone interviews Britt Baker, Jamie Hayter & Rebel backstage.
What is this big news she has for AEW? The Doctor and AEW Women’s World Champion says “We’re finally going to add some star power to this Women’s Casino Battle Royale, because two of the most prestigious females in all of wrestling are gonna be in it.” And she is of course talking about Rebel and Jamie. If one of them- Well ok if Jamie wins, then this title is going nowhere because Jamie is on Britt’s side. This title is staying right with Britt. Isn’t Britt underestimating her challenger, Kris Statlander? Statlander is undefeated since her return.
That brings Britt to her next big news for free agency. One of the hottest stars in all of wrestling today has just signed a long term contract with AEW, guaranteed to keep these ratings sky high. That person is… Britt! She’s staying around in AEW a lot longer, because Tony Khan realized that with Britt as champion and AEW’s golden girl, and is now allowing her to make matches! So this Friday will be a feast as Jamie & Rebel take on Kris Statlander 2v1. Oh, how unfortunate that it’s just two days before the PPV! Hopefully Statlander doesn’t get hurt. See you Friday, Kris. Yours truly, Britt Baker, DMD. Will the Galaxy’s Greatest Alien make it through the sidekicks to still go after the champion?
Tay Conti VS Penelope Ford w/ The Bunny!
Speaking of the Women’s Casino Battle Royale, the Brazilian Blackbelt Beauty, the Superbad Girl and the HFO’s Allie are all going to be competing for that title opportunity. However, Ford and Bunny are willing to work together as a bad girls club if it means keeping Conti out of contention. Will Conti make sure there’s a Tay-KO in Ford’s immediate future to change the course of things?
Conti sees Ford and Bunny talking on the outside, and decides to CROSSBODY them both down! Fans fire up with Conti as she drags Ford up and into the ring. The bell rings, Ford rushes in but Conti spins her around for drop sayanagi after drop sayanagi! Conti gets Ford up again and blocks a forearm to a wrench, spin and wristlock. Bunny coaches Ford but Conti wrenches again to spin and cravat Ford for knees! Conti spins Ford again to a dragon sleeper for clubbing forearms! Conti is having fun with Ford now as she clubs her over and over, to a BACK2BACK BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Ford swings into another wrench, scoop and swinging FACEBUSTER!
Ford staggers, Conti BOOTS her down! Cover, TWO! Bunny is frustrated on behalf of Ford but Conti keeps her cool. Conti drags Ford up, whips her to a corner, but Ford reverses. Ford runs in but Conti BOOTS her again! Conti goes up and up but Ford trips her up! Conti falls to the mat! Cover as AEW goes picture in picture, TWO!
Ford fumes but she kicks Conti in the back. Ford hooks arms, drags Conti up and bumps her hard off buckles. Ford drags Conti around to then dig her boots in at the corner. The ref counts, Ford lets off and Bunny pulls Conti’s hair! Bunny gets away with it before Ford comes back to bring Conti up. Ford chokes Conti on ropes, lets off as the ref counts 4, then KICKS Conti against the ropes! Conti flounders, Ford HOTSHOTS Conti! Ford then runs to dropkick Conti in the back! Conti flops to the apron, Ford catches her breath, then runs to triangle jump knee drop! Ford pushes Conti back into the ring, takes a moment to fix her hair, and AEW goes to break.
AEW returns as Conti fights up and arm-drags Ford off the motorcycle stretch. Ford ends up in a corner but storms after Conti. Conti throws elbows, Ford CLUBS her on the back. Ford whips Conti to a corner, runs corner to corner to handspring, but Conti dodges! Conti comes back, Ford dodges and then handsprings in again, to RAM a shoulder into Conti! Ford runs side to side but Conti dodges the boot! Conti back elbows, brings Ford around and then goes up and up and CROSSBODIES! Fans fire up with Conti as she rallies with big clotheslines! Conti gets around to scoop and swing for the SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Ford survives and Conti is shocked!
Ford flounders to ropes while Bunny cheers but Conti storms over. Ford yanks Conti into the ropes! Ford has a leg, turns Conti over, HALF CRAB! But then Ford shifts to get the deathlock! SUPERBAD MUTA LOCK! But Conti fights right out to get a CALF KILLER!! Ford endures, reaches out for Bunny, and gets the ROPEBREAK! Conti lets go at the count, runs in at the corner and BOOTS Ford again! Then Conti goes side to side for another BOOT! Then the other way, ANOTHER BOOT! Conti drags Ford out but Ford wrenches to a fireman’s carry! GUT BUSTER DROP!! Cover, TWO!! Ford is furious, as is Bunny, but fans fire up for Conti’s toughness!
“This is Awesome!” as Ford gets Conti back up. Conti reverses to a small package, TWO! Conti ROCKS Ford, runs but Bunny swipes at her! Conti grabs Bunny and drags her up to the apron! Bunny flails, Ford runs in, but Conti gets away! Ford stops herself from running into Bunny, but Conti shoves them into each other! Bunny falls down, Conti rolls Ford up, with a bridge! Conti wins!
Winner: Tay Conti, by pinfall
The numbers game backfired on Ford and Bunny, but Ford CLOBBERS Conti from behind! Ford and Bunny are sore losers as they stomp and hammer away on Conti, but here comes the Dark Order’s ANNA JAY! Jay is back from injury and she saves her best friend from Bunny and Ford! Tay & Jay are reunited, and this just in! The Queenslayer returns to action this Sunday in the Women’s Casino Battle Royale! Now that numbers are even, what are the odds Bunny and Ford don’t win at All Out?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
La Mera Mera is also in the Women’s Casino Battle Royale, what does she feel her chances are? Before she can say anything, both the Vicious Vixens and the #JadeBrand barge in. Nyla Rose and Jade Cargill, with Vickie Guerrero and Mark Sterling backing them up, dare Rosa to say she’s winning the battle royal. Rosa says they can’t be serious, trying to intimidate her. Nyla says they are serious. Well in that case, if Rosa’s going down, she’s doing down swinging. The earrings are off and the forearms start flying! But Rosa is stuck in a 2v1 with two strong enemies, so that doesn’t last long! But then Nyla and Jade stare down!
Sterling steps in to keep the peace, saying there is no sense in doing this now. “There’s way more money on Sunday, if you know what I mean.” Vickie says this is the first time he’s made any kind of sense. Vickie has Nyla head out, as does Sterling with Jade. Rosa is left writhing and angry, will everyone feel the wrath of La Mera Mera at All Out?
AEW profiles the Final Fight, Jericho VS MJF.
JR says, “Seeing what Chris has accomplished in AEW since the debut of our brand has been nothing short of extraordinary.” Schiavone remembers back to Jericho arriving at the announcement press conference and shocking everyone. Wight says the evolutions and trials Jericho has gone through has pushed him mentally and emotionally to his limits. MJF says he’s “mopped the floor” with Jericho, Taz notes that MJF has kept Jericho on his toes, and Mark Henry sees that MJF wants the throne for himself now. If Jericho loses, no one really understands the ramifications. Will MJF retire THE Chris Jericho? Wight admits, he’s worried. Will the Final Fight truly be the final night for Jericho in the ring?
8 Man Tag: The Elite VS The Lucha Brothers & Jurassic Express!
At All Out, The Young Bucks are going to defend their AEW Tag Team Championships against Rey Fenix & Penta El Zero M inside a steel cage! But they’re not worried, especially with the Impact World Tag Team Champions by their side. Will The Elite (the the Elite) be rolling into All Out with yet another big win? Or will having Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus and #CeroMiedo be what helps the Lucha Brothers score some early momentum going into their battle of steel and gold?
The teams sort out, big Doc Gallows starts against the equally big Luchasaurus, and fans are fired up already! Gallows throws a haymaker, Luchasaurus gives it back, and we have a brawl already! Gallows kicks low, whips Luchasaurus to a corner, then runs in to back elbow! Gallows throws body shots as Callis claims The Elite doesn’t need interference, despite all the times we’ve seen them use it. Gallows ROCKS Luchasaurus with an uppercut, but Luchasaurus turns things around to fire off big hands! Luchasaurus waistlocks, Gallows elbows free and kicks low again. Gallows reels Luchasaurus in, Luchasaurus resists the suplex to suplex Gallows instead!
Luchasaurus growls at The Elite, then drags Gallows up. Gallows uppercuts Luchasaurus then tags out to Nick Jackson. Nick runs in but into a flapjack! Fenix tags in, he goes up and leaps but Nick gets under. Fenix comes back, Fenix whips him to ropes but Fenix uses the Tiger Feint to rewind. Nick ducks the heel kick but Fenix whips him to ropes. Nick flips up and around, Fenix dodges but Nick dodges back. Fenix and Nick stare down Matt and Penta, then go back to each other. They each dodge, to tag in their brothers! Penta and Fenix run at Matt and Nick, both sides dodge, then everyone SUPERKICKS! Those all cancel out, so the four start shoving and talking trash!
The ref tries to keep the peace but then the Good Brothers blindside the Lucha Bros, then sucker punch Jurassic Express! The fans boo and the ref reprimands but The Elite isolates Penta. Matt stomps Penta, does a funky dance, then mocks Cero Miedo as he runs. But Jungle Boy trips Matt up! Penta hits a SLINGBLADE as AEW goes picture in picture!
Penta tags JB, JB and Penta double whip Matt, leap frog to SUPERKICK! Matt is down, JB gets a boost from Penta for a SPLASH! Cover, TWO! JB stays on Matt with CHOPS, then runs, but into a cheap shot from Nick! JB elbows Nick down, runs at Matt, but Matt sidesteps. Matt goes to hip toss JB but JB uses that to get up and RANA- NO! Nick blocks, and with Matt’s help he APRON POWERBOMBS Jungle Boy! JB flops to the floor, The Elite again sucker punches the Lucha Brothers and Luchasaurus, and Brandon Cutler cools Nick down with the spray. Nick puts JB in the ring, Matt stomps JB before he can get to his corner, and then Matt brings JB up and around.
JB throws body shots and back hands but Matt keeps him from his corner by pulling hair! The ref reprimands, so Matt throws JB down by his hair. Tag to Nick, he stomps JB around, then tags in Gallows. The Elite mugs JB, Gallows looms over him, then snapmares JB for a flurry of elbows to the shoulders. Gallows wraps on a chinlock and squeezes JB tight. JB endures, fights up, throws body shots, but Gallows throws him down by his hair now. Nick tags in again, taunts the Lucha Brothers and distracts the ref, and Gallows gets a cheap shot in on JB! Nick then chokes JB on the ropes! The ref sees that, counts, and Nick lets off at 4. Nick does his mock Macho Man strut, then bumps JB off buckles.
Tag to Matt, the Bucks dropkick Luchasaurus down together! The Lucha Bros try to hit back but the Bucks knock them down first! The Bucks strut around and mock the fans cheering. They then return to JB and mug him in the Elite corner. The Bucks double whip JB to the corner, then Nick runs in as AEW returns to single picture. JB BOOTS Nick away, Matt runs in but gets an elbow, and JB rolls off Matt’s back but into Nick’s shove. Karl Anderson finally does something by tripping JB up, dragging him out and shoving him into railing! But JB rebounds to LARIAT Anderson! The Machine Gun checks his face, JB blocks Nick’s apron Penalty Kick and uses that to get up on the apron!
JB DECKS Nick, SUPERKICKS Gallows, then shoulders into Matt. JB slingshots up and over and hot tags Fenix! Fans fire up as Fenix wrenches, knuckle locks and CHOPS Nick! Matt runs in but Fenix jumps over him, only for Matt to get a waistlock. Fenix elbows free, ducks Nick’s forearm so that Matt takes the hit, then Fenix CHOPS Nick again. Fenix SUPERKICKS Anderson, mule kicks his leg out, CHOPS Nick again, then BUZZSAWS Anderson! All while keeping the knuckle lock! Nick swings on Fenix, but Fenix ducks that to get a wristlock ripcord and ROUNDHOUSE! Fans fire up as Fenix goes up and up and then shows off before the flipping arm-drag!
Fans are thunderous as Fenix gets Nick over to the corner. Tag to Penta, feed to a pop-up in the corner, Penta SUPERKICKS Nick out of his headstand! Fenix fireman’s carries for a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER, Penta is up top for WAZZUP!? Cover, but Matt breaks it! Fenix bumps Matt off buckles but Nick blocks Penta’s chop with a knuckle lock. Nick CHOPS Penta, goes up and up a corner for “LUCHA LIBRE!” and gets both an arm-drag and a headscissors on the Lucha Brothers! Nick aims, SUPERKICK for Penta! Penta SUPERKICKS Nick in return! Nick rebounds to SUPERKICK Fenix, while Penta SUPERKICKS Matt! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES for Penta and Nick!!
Fans are loving this as the champions and their challengers are both down! Nick and Penta crawl for their corners, hot tags to Anderson and Luchasaurus! Luchasaurus rallies on the Good Brothers, then tosses Anderson to the corner for fast hands! GERMAN SUPLEX! Gallows gets in but Luchasaurus ducks the buzzsaw to kip up! TAIL WHIP! Gallows staggers so Luchasaurus shoves him out of the ring! Nick GAMANGIRIS Luchasaurus but slingshots into the choke grip! CHOKE SLAM outside, ONTO Gallows and Matt! JB builds speed and Luchasaurus gives him a boost so he can FLY! Direct hit onto The Elite!
Anderson staggers up into the choke grip, CHOKE SLAM! STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO!! Tag to Penta then tag to Fenix. Penta BUZZSAWS Anderson, brings him around as Fenix climbs, “CERO MIEDO!” But Matt distracts the ref so that Brandon Cutler can COLD SPRAY Fenix in the face!! Gallows YAKUZA KICKS Penta down, then he and Anderson give Fenix MAGIC KILLER!! Cover, Luchasaurus breaks it in time! Gallows POSTS Luchasaurus, The Elite regroup and Nick tags in. Nick tags Matt, the Bucks get Fenix up as fans rally. B T E- NO! Fenix dodges and knees collide! Handspring DOUBLE CUTTER!!
Fenix hurries to the apron, BOOTS Anderson and SUPERKICKS Gallows, then springboards to DOUBLE CROSSBODY! But the Bucks catch him and pop him up into a gut wrench! Nick hurries to the apron now, he springboards, MELTZER DRIVER!! Cover, The Elite wins!!
Winners: The Elite, by pinfall
Callis is laughing his head off on commentary, and says he has some business to take care of now. The Bucks and Good Brothers celebrate, and here comes Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa. Nakazawa is holding up the AEW World Championship for Omega as Omega gets a mic to laugh in his own right. Omega joins the Elite in the ring and starts the assault on Jurassic Express and the Lucha Brothers! “You just can’t take a hint, can you?”
A table has been set up and Omega shouts, “Take care of the dinosaur!” The Good Brothers get Luchasaurus up for MAGIC KILLER through the table!! Omega then stands JB against the ropes and shouts, “Who do you think you are, huh?!” Omega says JB isn’t in contention anymore so why is he bothering to fight back? But then CHRISTIAN CAGE shows up and SPEARS Omega down! Christian fires off on the Bucks but the Good Brothers return, and even Nakazawa helps out! Cutler gets kendo sticks for everyone and they use those to choke the contenders. Omega claims this was the trap they laid, and Christian fell right into it.
Omega goes on about the great meeting with Tony Khan from earlier today, talking about the AEW video game, the AEW ratings, “but you really got to be careful not to misplace personal items.” Omega says Callis has the “keys to the control room,” and wants him to “LET HER RIP! BRING IT DOWN!” The cage is descending! “You thought we were done?!” The mugging of the Elite’s enemies continues as the cage encapsulates the ring! Omega has the Elite set the Lucha Brothers up for a quick photo op, then Omega SMACKS Christian with a kendo stick! The Bucks and Good Brothers do the same to the Lucha Brothers!
Alex Abrahantes returns, and he’s brought The Elite Hunter! Frankie Kazarian rushes out with other enemies of the Elite! Cutler and the Good Brothers do whatever they can to stop Kaz, Dante Martin, Jurassic Express and even Orange Cassidy from scaling the cage! Mark Stunt is way up top, but Cutler sprays him in the face! Stunt has to retreat down the corner girder to save himself from falling. The Bucks handcuff the Lucha Brothers to ropes to SUPERKICK them down! SUPERKICK after SUPERKICK from Nick to each brother, and Matt rubs the tag titles in their faces. Omega even tells Nick to calm it down so they can pick on Christian now.
The Bucks sit Christian up as Omega laughs, and together as The Elite, B T E TRIPLE TRIGGER!! Nakazawa cuffs Christian for Omega, and Omega sarcastically says he’s sorry this has to happen this way. AEW is wrapping as Omega has his photo op with a downed Captain Charisma, is this foreshadowing how All Out ends on Sunday?
My Thoughts:
WOW! Now this was a packed go-home! A lot of solid promos and great vignettes for the All Out matches, but MJF and Jericho of course had the best two. Jericho is so fired up with this, I honestly can’t be sure which way The Final Fight goes. Jericho’s had such a great career already but just as there’s so much more for him still to do, is he realizing in real-life that he actually can’t do this for that much longer? All Out is must-see just on that match because of what it means for Jericho. Britt’s promo was really good, too, on all the blatant teases of free agents that could be coming to AEW but aren’t yet, i.e. The IIconics and Adam Cole.
FTR VS PNP was a badass opening tag match, and it is very big for PNP to get the win here. I really do think Santana & Ortiz will be poised to challenge whoever the tag champions are after All Out, because whether it’s PNP VS Bucks or PNP VS Lucha Brothers, that’s top tier tag action right there. I like the guts Garcia & 2.0 are showing still trying to go after Darby and now even CM Punk, and seeing the three finishers in a row from Darby, Sting and Punk was great television. Sting’s promo could’ve been a bit crisper but he got his point across that this will be all on Darby. Darby has a good promo, and he really does make a good point about how a list of dream matches should technically increase in importance and all that.
Cassidy VS Evans was a very good match but what a bummer that for the TV audience, this ended abruptly in a picture in picture. HFO going after Cassidy so that Best Friends and Jurassic Express run them off was good set-up for a 10 Man Tag in the Buy-In this Sunday. I swear I was saying something along the lines of this being the blow off not too long ago, so great to see AEW saw that for themselves. Cage VS Hobbs was also a very good match, but of course Team Taz uses Heel tactics to screw over Cage. We definitely need some kind of FTW Championship match with a ringside band on Team Taz so Cage and Starks can truly settle this.
Malakai Black has a very good promo calling out Lee Johnson, and their match this Friday on Rampage is going to be a good one. Still hoping this leads to Malakai VS Dustin on a big time Dynamite like the Grand Slam in a few weeks. However, the Nightmare Family seems to be losing members and in ways I don’t really understand. The Gunn Club turning on Paul Wight feels like a really forced way to knock Wight down so that QT and the Factory can stand tall tonight. Does this math mean Wight wins his in-ring return against the younger star? If QT still wins, the math just looks gross. The Factory should’ve looked like chickens tonight so they could cheat Wight at All Out and have QT win.
Conti VS Ford was a great match to build up the women’s midcard while also giving some great momentum towards the Women’s Casino Battle Royal. Conti winning and Jay returning is great stuff, but given Rosa getting mugged by Nyla Rose and Jade Cargill, that just furthers my confidence in Rosa winning the match. Britt will surely find a way to win against Statlander so that Britt and Rosa can revisit their awesome feud and settle things with the title on the line. Plus, who doesn’t want to see them revisit their Unsanctioned Match in some form or another?
And then, even after how packed tonight was, there was SO MUCH awesome stuff in the 8 Man Tag main event. The Elite not only win but they stand tall after brutalizing just about everyone, but I really only see the tag titles changing hands. It’s the first tag cage match in AEW, the Lucha Brothers are fired up and have a lot they can do after as AEW Dynamite goes into “season three,” title change would be a great way to make All Out stand out. As for Omega, he does stand tall over Christian here, but Christian’s already Impact World Champion, Christian can do plenty with that over in Impact while AEW gets us back on track for Omega VS Hangman, the one true way Omega must lose the title.
My Score: 9.2/10

AEW National Championship: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mascara Dorada!
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Illinois is about that Tarzan Life!
The bell rings and the fans cheer Jack as he circles with Dorada. They shake hands and the fans applaud that show of sportsmanship. The two tie up, Jack wrenches to a wristlock, but Dorada rolls, cartwheels, then uses the ropes to flip through! Dorada arm-drags Jack away and the fans applaud. Jack nods, that was good.

Dorada fires body shots, then hops on, BARRIER DESTROYER!! The fans go nuts as both Jack and Dorada are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?
Ace Austin & Juice Robinson VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia!
The Bang Bang Gang has been struggling to stay afloat, and now they go up against The Death Riders’ Decoder & Dragon Slayer! Will Yuta & Garcia keep the momentum going from what Moxley and the others did earlier tonight? Or can these Collision Cowboys ride off into the Peoria sunset with a win?

Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?

AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS Hook w/ The Opps!

Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him!

Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.

AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS MJF!
The Jet called out The Scumbag for sneaking away with a win when they battled for the AEW World Championship, and wants to prove that this title is for truly the best wrestlers! But will Knight be #2Fly2Stop? Or will Maxwell Jacob Friedman look to put more gold on his resumé?
The introductions are made, and MJF makes sure Justin Roberts says, “He doesn’t hail from a white trash state like Virginia…” The belt is raised, and we see who is truly the Face of TNT!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two step up, but MJF kicks low! MJF TOSSES Knight out, then hurries to THROW Knight into the steel steps! Then he whips Knight hard into the railing! Knight writhes, the fans boo, but MJF soaks up heat. MJF talks trash as he reels Knight in, lift shim up, and BARRIER BOMBS him! The fans boo but MJF takes the camera to film while he scuffs Knight. “He’s a nobody!” MJF puts Knight in the ring, tells fans to shut up, and he pushes Knight to a cover, ONE!! Knight toughs it out but MJF clamps on tight. The fans rally as Knight endures and fights around. Knight rises, fires body shots, then runs.
Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges to springboard and CROSSBODY! Knight keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges more, but MJF ELBOWS Knight down! The fans boo but MJF drags Knight up again for a back suplex. Knight lands out, back suplexes, but MJF lands out! Another back suplex, but into the CUTTER! Cover, TWO! MJF argues with the ref but the count was fair. MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs as he storms over to Knight at the apron. The fans taunt him about his hair but MJF just frowns. MJF drags Knight up, but Knight HOTSHOTS MJF away! Knight hurries in, slides under, then hurdles over to SATELLITE DDT! Both men are down but the fans fire up!
The fans rally again as both men rise up. MJF stands first, storms up, but Knight counter punches! Knight fires haymakers, fires body shots, then has MJF on the ropes! The fans fire up as Knight fires off, but the ref backs Knight off! Knight storms back up, whips, but MJF reverses. Knight goes up and over, hurdles again, then DROPKICKS! The fans fire up as both men are back down! But then Knight kips up! Knight is feeling it, and he runs up to UFO SPLASH! Cover, TOW! MJF survives but Knight stays cool. Knight drags MJF around, then climbs the corner. The fans cheer as Knight aims, but MJF hurries out of the ring!
The fans boo but Knight hops down to PLANCHA! Down goes MJF and the fans fire up again! Knight puts MJF back in, but MJF hurries back out! The fans boo again, but Knight builds speed! Knight DIVES and down goes MJF yet again! The fans cheer as Knight gets MJF in the ring, but then MJF bails out another side. The fans boo but Knight shrugs and builds speed again. Knight FLIES and that’s three for three! The fans cheer as Knight stands tall on the desk! Knight then brings MJF back into the ring, but MJF says let’s make it four. MJF goes to the ramp side, but Knight says might as well complete the set!
Knight aims, springboards, and FLYING LARIATS MJF down at the ramp! All four sides belong to Knight and the fans are thunderous! Knight drags MJF up, puts him in the ring a fifth time, and now MJF is stuck in the drop zone. Knight is up top, but then MJF just goes to the far side. Knight runs up, MJF DUMPS Knight out, and then the HEAT- NO, Knight powers out! Knight springboards, MJF gets under, but Knight comes back and sunset flips! MJF flails to stay standing, but Knight brings him down to a cover! TWO and MJF sits on Knight, TWO as Knight sunset flips again! TWO and both men stand! SATELLITE denied into a CUTTER! Cover, TWO!
The fans cheer as both men are down again. Knight crawls away to a corner, MJF runs up, but Knight goes up and over. MJF ELBOWS Knight, goes up top, and calls his shot. But Knight BODY SHOTS first! Knight goes up to get MJF, but MJF resists. Knight CLUBS away on MJF, but MJF SHOVES Knight! Knight backflips, but he hobbles from the landing. MJF wobbles, Knight still goes to the UPPER ROOM! MJF is down but Knight clutches his knee. Knight fights through the pain to go to the apron. The fans rally behind Knight as he climbs again, MOTHERSHIP FLOP as MJF moves! MJF hobbles over to Knight, he grabs the leg!
MJF steps through, but Knight BOOTS him away! MJF hits buckles, Knight runs up, but Knight’s leg buckles! MJF SUPERKICKS Knight, then goes up for the LONG ISLAND SUNSRISE! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives the Sunrise and MJF is beside himself! The fans rally up again while both men are down, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Knight and MJF stir, Knight still clutching the bad leg. The ref checks him but Knight says he can still go. Knight goes to the ropes, hobbles around, but MJF runs up to KICK the leg out! Knight flounders but MJF stalks him. MJF KICKS the leg out again! Knight flounders against the ropes before falling down. MJF drags Knight to center, talks trash about the leg, then turns Knight over for the HALF CRAB! Dynamite returns to single picture as the fans rally and Knight endures! Knight powers up, crawls his way forward, but MJF drags him back to center! MJF sits deep, even CLUBS the leg, but Knight manages to turn over and BOOT MJF away!
The fans cheer as Knight hobbles up, but he still can’t run! MJF grins, then goes up the corner again, for the LONG- SUPERKICK! Knight suckers MJF in and hurries up the corner himself! The fans fire up for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! But Knight can’t make the pin from how he landed so hard! Knight crawls his way back to cover, TWO!! MJF survives thanks to that delay, but the fans know, “This is Awesome!” Knight pounds the mat in frustration, then clutches his leg as he crawls over to the ropes. MJF is on the apron, Knight hobbles and runs up, but MJF blocks the kick! DRAGON SCREW in the ropes! MJF is foaming at the mouth!
MJF DDTS the foot again and again and again! MJF blows snot AND spits on Knight! The fans boo but MJF just snarls as he looms over Knight. MJF Alabama Lifts, and he ALABAMA SLAMS Knight down! Kneeling cover, TWO!! MJF covers again, TWO! Another cover, ONE!!! The fans fire up as Knight refuses to stay down! MJF is furious but the fans cheer Knight on! MJF storms outside, grabs the belt, then snarls as he goes back to the ring. The fans boo but the ref reprimands MJF. Th eref takes the belt, but duh! Dynamite Diamond Ring! But Knight LOW BLOWS MJF first!! Knight cradles, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
MJF is absolutely shocked! He got outsmarted! He got beat at his own dirty game! But then MJF CHOP BLOCKS Knight! The sore loser then scares the ref off before he winds up with that diamond ring. But wait! DARBY ALLIN literally drops in from the ceiling! Darby unhooks himself from the harness, then storms into the ring to dragon sleeper MJF! SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby makes sure justice is served, and the fans cheer him on as he gets a mic. MJF also gets a mic, and MJF says, “You people suck! Darby, real typical. Two peas in a pod! Two low life cheaters getting along, huh?!”
But joke’s on you! MJF doesn’t care about Knight, this match doesn’t count, he was barely trying! The fans laugh given how MJF’s red, sweaty and gasping for air. But MJF says what he cares about is HIS Triple B, HIS AEW World Championship! The fans boo but MJF says shut up! MJF wants his rematch! Darby paces, but the fans already chant “NO! NO! NO!” Darby also says, “NO! I’m not giving you that rematch until you put something on the line! And if I survive tonight with Brody King, I think I know exactly who deserves a shot next week.” MJF says MJF, but Darby looks to The Jet. The fans cheer but MJF says don’t even think about it!
But Darby indeed says, it will be Kevin Knight! The fans cheer, but then BRODY KING shows up! The King of Death stares The Devil down, then moves past him to join Darby and Knight in the ring. Brody and Darby stare down, then Brody says, “I have some bad news for you, Darby, cuz you’re not gonna survive tonight! And Jet, I got even worse news for you. Next week, you’re not gonna be facing Darby Allin. You’re gonna be facing the NEW AEW World Champion! ROOF!” The fans cheer that, and Brody returns backstage. The main event is gonna be wild, but who carries the title into next Wednesday?
Backstage interview with Adam Copeland & Christian Cage.
Renee Paquette is with The Rated R Superstar and Captain Charisma, and notes that Cage has a fractured arm, how is he feeling? Cage says his arm feels fine, don’t worry about the arm. Then they also have to address FTR upping the ante on their New York Street Fight by making it part I Quit match. Do they accept? Cage says, “We accept!” Cope says that’s a bit quick given Cage’s history with I Quit matches in AEW. Just saying… Cage says if he’s told you once, he’s told you a thousand times, he never said those words! He didn’t! Cage storms off, Cope says he totally did. But neither of them will say it again. Will C&C be more than ready to make the Top Guys give up?
The Brawling Birds VS Emily Jaye & Jordan Blade!
Jamie Hayter may have missed a week, but she’s back to 100% and ready to pick up where she left off. But will she and Alex Windsor be able to bounce back from losing to Thekla back to back? Or will they get caught off guard by Lady Stunner & The Ankle Breaker?
The teams sort out and Jamie steps to Jordan. They circle as the fans rally, then Jamie blocks a kick to ROCK Jordan! Then she BLASTS Emily just because before she BOOTS Jordan! Jamie bumps Jordan off buckles, DOUBLE CHOPS, then tags Alex. Alex DOUBLE CHOPS, then she tags Jamie! Another DOUBLE CHOP, and then tag back to Alex for a DOUBLE CHOP! Jamie tags back in, The Birds wind up, but Emily runs in! The Birds DOUBLE ELBOW Emily before they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Jordan! Jamie then hauls Jordan up to snap suplex! SLIDING LARIAT and then ground ‘n’ pound! Jamie brings Jordan up, Windsor joins in, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS!
Then they set up, The Birds DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Jordan sputters, right into TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! Cover, The Brawling Birds win!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
Yep, it’s like Jamie wasn’t even out a week! But will they make sure to settle the score with The Triangle of Madness on the road to Double or Nothing?
The Triangle of Madness speaks.
Thekla says everybody says Thekla, why do you always call people “dumb b*tches?” Thekla would love to stop calling people dumb b*tches, but there are just too many dumb b*tches in AEW! Skye Blue adds that what happened on Collision to Persephone was entirely The Birds’ fault. But getting mist in the face was the best thing to ever happen to Skye, so maybe it opens Perse’s eyes, too. So what happened to Jamie & Alex? They’re supposed to be the big bad Brawling Birds, but they just can’t seem to handle a little ol’ Toxic Spider. Thekla’s advice is to stick with the tag team, because when it is 1v1, Thekla is everything, and they are nothing!
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to be confident in her toxic dominance, but will someone come along and figure out how to wipe this spider out?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Ace Austin w/ Juice Robinson!
While The Rainmaker wants his fight with The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, he still has a duty to defend this title. Will Okada prove what a real champion looks like? Or will The Inevitable make him Fold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this gamble!
The bell rings and Callis admits, Ace has impressive quads. Too bad his hometown of Atlantic City is a dump. The fans tell off Callis even though he’s just on commentary, and the two tie up. Ace and Okada push each other back and forth, but Okada’s height becomes his leverage. Okada has Ace in a corner, but the ref counts. Okada lets off, then fakes the chop. Okada pats Ace on the shoulders, then stomps low! The fans are torn as Okada stomps a mudhole, but he backs off as the ref counts. Okada soaks up heat, then he ROCKS Ace with a forearm. Okada whips, Ace ducks and rolls to drop toehold and ENZIGIRI!
The fans cheer while Ace steps over to cradle, TWO! Ace DROPKICKS Okada down and the fans fire up! Ace KICKS Okada in the back, then CLUBS his arm. The fans rally as Ace lines up a shot and ROCKS Okada. Okada goes to a corner, Ace KICKS and CLUBS him. Ace whips Okada to ropes but Okada reverses, only for ace to fireman’s carry! Ace does squats to then DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The fans fire up for “The Quad God” as he poses. Ace runs up, Okada dodges, and Okada comes back. Ace slips into the ropes and Okada hits buckles! Ace then slips back inside to FLYING CHUCK! Okada staggers while the fans fire up again!
Okada bails out, Ace takes aim, but Okada avoids the plancha! Ace avoids the leg sweep, and Okada is stunned to see the handstand! Okada applauds, that’s impressive even to him. But then Ace DROPKICKS Okada again, then PLANCHAS! Okada avoids the impact, kicks low, and DDTS to the floor! Ace writhes and Okada grins while the fans applaud. The ref checks Ace while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Okada “apologizes” to the ref, then drags Ace up. Okada RAMS Ace into the railing! The ref reprimands, Okada rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Okada then RAMS Ace into more railing! Ace drops to his knees, Okada offers a high-five, and a young fan returns it. The fans applaud that, then Okada offers one to Callis. They high-five, cheapening the moment. Okada puts Ace in the ring, Ace checks his head, but Okada brings him up. Okada bumps Ace hard off buckles! Okada slaps Ace around, then stands him up to whip hard into buckles again! Ace falls back, checking his mouth, but his mouthguard did its part to protect his teeth.
Okada stands Ace up but Ace fires a body shot! And a CHOP! Ace then lifts Okada, but Okada fights free to kick and DDT! Okada pushes Ace over to the cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that but Okada brushes it off. Okada paces, sneaks a middle finger at the fans, then scuffs Ace. Okada kicks Ace around while Dynamite returns to single picture. Ace stands but Okada Alabama Lifts, tucks, and REVERSE NECKBREAKERS! The fans rally as Okada brings Ace up again. Okada scoops to SLAM Ace in the drop zone! Standard formula says Okada goes up, and he aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit, and Okada winds up… The Rainmaker Middle Finger!
Okada drags Ace up, wristlocks, but Ace fights the ripcord! They run around and tumble out of the ring! The fans rally up as Ace is on the apron. Okada stands, but he blocks Ace’s Penalty Kick! Okada THROWS Ace, Ace handstands again! Ace then handsprings over the sweep! PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up as Okada staggers around the way. Ace builds speed to FOSBURY FLOP! Ace just manages to clear the apron and the fans fire up for that! Ace gets Okada up and into the ring. Ace climbs, springboards, but Okada dodges! But then Ace fireman’s carries! Okada slips free, ROLLING- NO, Ace blocks to KNEE low!
Ace KICKS and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS! Then “CLICK CLICK!” BOOM DROP! The fans fire up for Ace as he runs corner to corner, forearm SMASH! Ace pushes Okada out, springboards, and FLYING LEG DROPS! Cover, TWO!! Okada survives and Ace is stunned! Ace takes out his ace card, and runs up for- A BOOT! Ace still reels Okada in, but Okada fights the suplex. Ace wrenches, Okada rolls Ace, TWO! Okada CLUBS Ace down! Okada drags Ace up, whips him to ropes, but Ace avoids the dropkick! Ace then lines up the shot again, THE- NO, Okada pops Ace up, but Ace sunset flips! TWO!! Okada rises, BOOTS, and Ace falls!
Okada lines up a shot, he runs up, but he blocks a boot. Okada flips Ace, Ace lands safe on the apron and ROCKS Okada! Ace steps in again, FLYING- DROPKICK! The anti-air hits hard, then Okada ripcords! RAIN- NO, Okada ducks it to backslide! TWO!! Callis freaks out at how close that was! Ace runs, but into the DROPKICK! Okada snarls, gut wrenches, and TOMBSTONES!! Okada roars because he’s not done! Okada ripcords for THE RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Ace was so close to the jackpot, but Okada isn’t one of the best ever for nothing! Mark Davis congratulates his Don Callis Family brother, while Callis himself SMOTHERS Ace for pushing Okada this far! Juice Robinson scares Callis off, but then wait! Konosuke Takeshita is here! The Alpha stares down Okada, and signals that he’s taking that title. Will Takeshita avenge himself for that Continental Classic controversy? Or will no one dry up the reign?
A country town is in chaos!
They’re all running away from the saloon as someone is putting the hurt on everybody. This man then picks up a wanted poster, the bounty for The Most Wanted, Bandido. And that man… is Swerve Strickland! Prince Nana hands Swerve his lighter, and Swerve burns the bounty. Is The Outlaw about to enter Swerve’s House, and never return?
The Death Riders speak.
While Marina Shafir grapples with Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia says, “This is who we are, and this is how we train. You don’t get to be the best out there until you’re the best in here first.” But then look who walks in! Will Ospreay is here, and Jon Moxley says he has arrived! Did Ospreay get cleared? Nope. Might as well say it now, though: Ospreay is going to Japan, he and the Empire boys have a big title match, and then we’ll see. Moxley says, “Loyalty. You are too good to be true.” Moxley looks to Pac, kinda pokes at him, then says first thing’s first: Moxley needs Ospreay to drop everything.
Everything up here in the mind. The clouds, the vision, the thing that makes you see things up there. Then everything in the heart. The tugs, the pulls. And then everything in the gut, the anger that burns a hole. Drop it all. Excess baggage, they don’t need it. The feelings Ospreay has about Moxley, drop ’em. They don’t need excess baggage. Moxley makes no promises, he is not a miracle worker. But when Moxley makes a commitment to something, he sees it through all the way to the end. All he asks is the same in return. Ospreay nods and says okay. Moxley says beautiful! Ospreay and Pac stare down, but they leave it at that.
Ospreay asks where’s the ring. Moxley says they don’t need a ring. They’re starting from the ground up. The rest is proprietary, so sorry. Moxley pushes the cameraman out of the room, and now the real work begins. Will, or rather, can Ospreay survive the Death Rider dungeon and come out a stronger wrestler on the other side?
FTR is here!
Fairfax boos as the AEW World Tag Team Champions and #BigStoke make their way to ringside, but to sit by commentary so they can watch this next match.
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage VS Roppongi Vice!
While C&C want revenge on FTR so badly, they’re willing to stake their career as a team on it, this is to settle a different score! Will this tag team that reeks of awesomeness bring down Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta? Or will tonight belong to Azucar & #JustTrent?
The teams sort out and Cage starts against Rocky. The fans rally while Cage keeps that bad arm away from Rocky. They tie up, Rocky wrenches the bad arm, then wristlocks. Cage powers Rocky to a corner, the ref counts, but Cage backs off at 4. The fans cheer while Cage talks trash on FTR. Cage and Rocky reset, feel things out, but Rocky kicks low. Rocky wrenches, CLUBS, and CLUBS the bad arm. Rocky CLUBS away on the arm, then wrenches again. Cage KNEES low, then runs, but into a DROPKICK! Rocky slides for the soccer celebration, but Cage snatches him! REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO!

Trent whips corner to corner, Cope reverses and Trent tumbles up, down, and into a BOOT! The fans cheer as Cope stands tall.
Cope drags Trent up, but Trent powers free! Cope drop toeholds Trent onto the ropes, tags Cage, and Cage stands on Trent to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Cage steps down, and he slingshots to the outside. Cope SPLASHES Trent before Cage UPPERCUTS him down! Cage then drags Trent out, THROWS him into barriers, and the fans cheer as Cage drags him up again. Cage ROCKS Trent, brings him around, and he SMACKS Rocky along the way! Cage puts Trent against the post, but Cash Wheeler shouts at him. Cage grabs Cash through the ropes, but Trent wrenches the bad arm, to SWING it into the POST!
The fans boo as FTRPG Vice are talking trash on C&C, but even Stokely talks trash from commentary. Wait, who is this standing up in the matching hoodies? It’s THE CONGLOMERATION! The fans cheer as Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong make their presence known, and Stokely senses it. Stoke turns around to see Conglomeration having snacks, and Stoke takes a swing!? Cassidy dodges that easily, and then SMACKS Stoke with the popcorn! FTR is furious, but they end up brawling with Conglomeration! RPG Vice mugs Christian while Conglomeration handles FTR & Stokely, off into the crowd!
The fans fire up as this brawl moves through the aisleway, and Cassidy is giving Stokely a noogie to his bald head! But Trent sets Cage up for Rocky’s FLYING KNEE! RPG Vice still has control while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Rocky talks a lot more trash on Cage, but Cope scares him off! The ref reprimands everyone, and Cope backs off while Trent stands Cage up. Trent whips Cage hard into railing! Trent then tags Rocky, and Rocky digs his boot into Cage’s bad arm against the railing! Rocky puts Cage in the ring, stomps the bad arm again, then drags Cage around. Tag to Trent, they double wrench to double BODY BLOW! Then they run to JUMP KNEE and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cage toughs it out but Trent slaps him around. Trent drags Cage up, snapmares, and he clamps on a top wristlock! Cage endures, Cope coaches him, and the fans rally up.
Cage rises, fires body shots, then runs the ropes, but into a kick! Trent hits an ARMBAR DDT! Cover, TWO! Cage scrambles to ropes but Trent tags Rocky in. Rocky steps on Cage very much like Cage would, then steps off as the ref counts. Rocky argues with the ref and with Cope, letting Trent SMACK Cage in the distraction! Cope seethes but he can’t do anything while Rocky traps Cage’s arm for an ELBOW JAMMER! Rocky then double wristlocks the arm and puts on the pressure. Cage endures, fights back up, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally again as Cage wrenches out, but Rocky wrenches to headlock, only for Cage to hit a BIG back suplex!
Both men are down and the fans rally harder! Rocky crawls, hot tag to Trent! Trent BLASTS Cope, the fans boo, but Trent tags Rocky back in. Trent puts Cage on the ropes, Rocky DOUBLE STOMPS Cage down for Trent to SLIDING KNEE! Cover, but Cope breaks it! The fans cheer but Rocky keeps Cage from Cope. Cage fires a body shot, but Rocky KICKS the bad arm! And KICKS, and KICKS, then CHOPS! Rocky puts Cage up top, climbs up after him, and goes for the arm. Cage fires body shots, shoves Rocky back, but Rocky returns for a SUPER ARM-DRAG! Then the ARMBAR! Cage endures while the fans rally up again!
Cage fights around, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer while Rocky lets go in frustration. Tag to Trent and he storms up on Cage. Trent ROCKS Cage but Cage fires hands in return! Cage fights off RPG Vice, sneaks under Trent, but Rocky tags in! Rocky whips Cage to a corner, but Cage ELBOWS him away! Cage goes up, but Rocky grabs the arm! But Cage CLAWS Rocky’s face! Cage then TORNADO DDTS Rocky! The fans fire up while both men are down again! Cage and Rocky crawl, hot tags to Trent and Cope! The fans fire up as Cope BACKDROPS Trent! Then FLAPJACKS! Then he whips corner to corner, runs up, but into an ELBOW!
Trent has Cope, TORNADO- NO, Cope denies the DDT, then hits the IMPALER! Cover, but Rocky runs up! Cope moves, the ELBOW DROP hits Trent! The fans cheer, and Cope ROCKS Rocky! And CHOPS Trent! Cope runs, but into a DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! And then another DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! Trent Alabama Lifts Cope while Rocky climbs, but Cage SHOVES Rocky down! And a BOOT into the CODE RED! Cover, but Rocky breaks it! Cage has Rocky but Rocky CLAWS Cage’s face! Rocky runs, but Cage SMACKS him with the brace! Trent CLOBBERS Cage! But Cope SPEAR- NO, Trent leaps over! Roll-up, with feet on the ropes! The ref sees it in time!
The fans cheer as Trent is caught cheating! Trent argues with the ref, then pleads with him. But Cope runs up, only for Trent to BOOT him! Trent runs up, but Cope pops him up, for Cage’s SPEAR! Cover, C&C win!
Winners: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage, by pinfall
They may be less than 100% physically, but they’re still 100% mentally! As for emotionally, Cage grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Given the role RPG Vice played in Cage’s arm injury, he SNAPS the crossbar of the chair off, and he hands it to Cope! Bent as it is, Cope uses it to GAG Trent! TORONTO SMILE!! Cage grabs a mic and he asks Trent, “Do you know what to say?! Say it!” Trent shouts, but the crossbar is kinda muddying it into “I qwimt!” They take the bar out and Cage asks again. Trent shouts, “I QUIT! I QUIT!” Cope lets Trent go and the fans cheer. Cage says, “I will never say ‘I quit,’ you little b*tch.”
Cope & Christian have their payback on RPG Vice, but now it will be a matter of getting their revenge on FTR. Will Cash & Dax prove they’re truly the best tag team of all time? Or will they have to admit defeat in the worst way possible?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and brings up that this is twice now that Ricochet has defeated him with the “Ricosault.” Does Jericho think there is any validity that this Ricosault is an improvement on the Lionsault? Jericho says what he does think is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But he’s not really flattered right now, he’s more pissed off. But here’s the thing, Ricochet has obviously been following Jericho’s career very closely. But not close enough because if he was- THE DEMAND ATTACKS! Ricochet, Kaun & Liona beat Jericho down 3v1, then get him up to his knees. Ricochet asks if this is what Jericho wanted. Is this what Jericho thought this would be in his big return to AEW?!
No more jokes, no more games, no more subliminal messages! Ricochet told Jericho to leave or get hurt! Look at him! What do you gotta say?! Is this what you wanted?! Jericho says, “Eat s*it, bald!” Ricochet HAMMERS away on Jericho, then RIPS the shirt away! Then The Gates of Agony THROW Jericho into a road case! Ricochet says that’s what you get! Then Ricochet uses the case to backflip over Jericho, and says, “You’re not even worth it. AHA~!” The Demand leaves Jericho down and out, but will they be the ones to kick him out of AEW?
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships: The Divine Dominion VS Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross have been a dominant team since Dynasty, and are perhaps the most dominant team of all time! But will they make these former AEW Women’s World Champions #BowDown? Or can #Shidalander truly become the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who has true power!
The teams sort out and Shida starts against Lena. The bell rings and Shida DROPKICKS Lena! Then she fires a shot on Megan, but Megan doesn’t move! Shida fires shots on Lena, on Megan, but then Lena KNEES low! Lena bumps Shida off buckles, RAMS into her again and again, but stops as the ref counts. Shida fires more shots on Lena, but Lena THROWS Shida away! The fans applaud, as does Megan, but Shida BOOTS Lena away! Shida runs up, but Lena RUNS her over! Lena soaks up cheers and jeers, then drags Shida up to bump her off buckles. Tag to Megan, Divine Dominion double whip, and they DOUBLE SHOULDER Shida down!
The fans are torn but Megan soaks it all up. Megan drags Shida up, back suplexes, but then counters Shida’s sunset flip into a FALL AWAY SLAM! Not the cleanest throw but an effective one. Megan “kicks rocks” at Shida, then runs up, but Shida slips around! Shida waistlocks, she RAMS Megan into a corner, then runs corner to corner to JUMP KNEE! Shida climbs up and the fans cheer, but Megan stops Shida before she even starts! Shida still throws hands, slips free, and kicks low. Shida runs, but Megan blocks the jump knee! SPINEBUSTER! Shida tumbles out while Megan seethes. Shida is frustrated but she storms back in!
Shida dodges Megan, CLAWS Megan’s face, then she grabs her kendo stick! But Kris grabs it, telling Shida to stop! They argue, but then Kris uses the stick to yank Shida out of the way! Megan POSTS herself instead of hitting Shida! Shida tags Kris, they have Megan in the ropes, and then Shida kicks Kris?! Oh, so she can snap suplex her into Megan! A unique attack, but Kris drags Megan up. Megan RAMS Kris into the Divine Dominion’s corner! Tag to Lena, they double whip Kris, but Kris ducks ‘n’ dodges to DOUBLE RAN- NO! The champs stop Kris to SLAM her down! Then they drag Kris up, bring her in, and DOUBLE SUPLEX! But Kris lands out!
Kris BOOTS Lena, DUMPS Megan, but Lena ROCKS Kris! Lena whips, Kris reverses and ELBOWS Lena, then PELES! Lena staggers, Kris gut wrenches and tucks, but Lena drops down! So Kris makes it a cross-legged cover, TWO! Kris ends up on ropes, Lena blocks the ref’s view, Megan hits a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Megan grins as she gets one in, then Lena Electric Chair Lifts Kris! To HOTSHOT her on the ropes! Divine Dominion is indeed dominating as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Divine Dominion revels in the cheers and jeers, then Lena argues with the ref before she brings Kris up. Lena bumps Kris off buckles, tags Megan, and Megan stomps away in the corner. Megan stops as the ref counts, but that lets Lena CHOKE Kris! Megan drags Kris up, RAMS into her again and again, then CHOPS! Tag to Lena, and Megan BLASTS Shida for good measure! Then a SPLASH and BUTTERFLY PLEX for Kris before Lena adds a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Kris survives but she’s isolated with Shida down on the floor. Lena stomps Kris down, then stalks her to the ropes. Lena CHOKES Kris, the ref counts, but Lena steps back.
Kris flounders around but Lena drags her up. Kris fires body shots but Lena CLUBS her. Lena snapmares, runs, and SLIDING- NO, Kris turns that into a ghost pin! TWO, and Lena LARIATS Kris down! Lena snarls as she covers, TWO! Lena clamps onto Kris with a chinlock and grinds her down. Shida is back on the corner, and she rallies with the fans for Kris to get up. Kris rises, but Lena THROWS her back down by her hair! Lena “apologizes” to the ref, then covers, TWO! Kris toughs it out but Lena keeps on her. Lena stands Kris up, but Kris JAWBERAKERS! And throat chops! And LEG SWEEPS! Dynamite returns as Kris crawls!
Lena tags Megan, and Megan runs up to BLAST Shida! Then Divine Dominion reel Kris in for a DOUBLE- NO, Kris fights the suplex! Kris fires CHOP after CHOP after CHOP on the champs! The fans fire up as she runs, then DOUBLE RANAS! The Divine Dominion tumbles around, Shida reaches out, but Megan drags Kris back! Kris fights the fisherman, but Megan BOOTS her! Kris rebounds to DISCUS LARIAT! Both women are down again and the fans fire up! Kris crawls, reaches out, but so does Megan. Hot tags to Lena and Shida! The fans fire up as Shida fires off on Lena! Lena ROCKS Shida, but Shida fires another flurry!
Lena ROCKS Shida again, then whips, but Shida reverses, only for Lena to block! Shida fires a flurry, Lena shoves her away, but Shida dodges! Shida goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up for Shida and she runs the ropes, but Megan snatches her! Lena BOOTS Shida while the fans boo. Lena whips, Shida dodges to KNEE Megan down! Then she drop toeholds Lena into Megan! And then Shida DOUBLE SLIDING KICKS them down! The fans fire up as Shida hurries to the apron! Shida aims to DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! Divine Dominion is down but Shida rises again! The fans chant “HOLY SHIDA!” as she brings Lena around.
Shida puts Lena in the ring, drags her up, and reels her in, but Lena fights the suplex! Lena suplexes, Shida slips free, but Lean HOOK KICKS! Kris tags in and fires off shots! Lena ducks a kick to ROCK Kris! Lena whips, Kris goes up, but Megan traps her! Lena YANKS Kris down, then tags Megan! Lena forearm SMASHES, then ELBOWS Kris! Lena runs side to side, and so does Megan! BOOT follows BOOT, then Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Megan drags Kris up, ROCKS her, then whips her.

The fans fire up as Divine Dominion is stacked on top of each other, and Kris climbs a corner! Kris aims to 450 SPLASH!! Two for one on the impact and Kris hurries to cover Lena, TWO?!? Kris is stunned but Lena is dazed. Kris hauls Lena up, but Shida tags herself in! Kris is upset but she SLAMS Lena down for Shida to METEORA! Then the FALCON ARROW!! Cover, TWO?!? Lena survives again and now Shida is shocked! Shida aims for the KATA- NO, Megan intercepts with a BELLY2BELLY!
But Kris SUPERKICKS Megan! Lena waistlocks Kris, Kris switches, but Lean switches back. Megan returns, BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Then they get Shida up, DIVINE INTERVENTION!! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Granted, Shida went a bit rogue changing things on Kris there, but it’s hard to deny that Megan & Lena have the stats to reign forever and ever! Will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, ever dethrone Divine Dominion?
Programming note for next week!
Wednesday, May 6th, North Charleston, South Carolina is in for a treat! They don’t just get AEW Dynamite, they get AEW Collision as a THREE HOUR COMBO! All live on TBS and HBO Max, make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Renee Paquette is now with The Jackal himself, as well as Andrade El Idolo, and speaks to the incredible tear- MJF steps in and says, “No, no, no, Renee, I’m sorry, incredible tear? Here’s what you have done. You have ruined this company! Thanks to you, Darby Allin is on a reign of terror!” Andrade says okay, how you know? W-what? How does MJF know? Because Darby is world champion, that’s how! How you know? Because Don told MJF that Andrade lost his contender’s match! How you know? Because MJF saw it later with his own two eyes! Andrade again asks, “How you know?” Andrade smiles, and MJF says (sarcastically) that Andrade’s real funny.
MJF then shoves Andrade! Callis steps in and has them stop. Andrade is Callis’ money man. MJF is THE money man! Business is business. MJF doesn’t have a belt, there’s no reason for Andrade to fight MJF. And MJF, you need to get that belt back! They’re all better off when MJF is on top! So let’s just focus on business, guys. Okay? Just this once? MJF storms off one way, Andrade the other, and Callis says, “Wild horses, they’re gonna run. What’re you gonna do?” Callis follows Andrade, but will The Real Latino Man accept this truce with The Scumbag?
Rush VS Steven Fuerte!
From wild horses to El Toro Blanco, Rush has certainly been on a stampede since returning from injury. However, he is only getting hungrier and hungrier for gold around his waist. Will that stampede finally lead him to opportunities at Double or Nothing? Or will he have to make due with an appetizer?
The bell rings and Fuerte offers a handshake. Rush DECKS Fuerte instead! Fuerte tumbles out of the ring, Rush goes out after him, and Rush THROWS Fuerte into barriers! The fans fire up as Rush then THROWS Fuerte back into barriers, then stomps away! The ref counts but Rush fires body shots! Rush SMACKS Fuerte off the barriers, then snarls as he drags Fuerte back up. Rush puts Fuerte in the ring, watches him flounder to the corner, and he CHOPS! Fuertes falls, Rush puts him in the corner, then rains down forearms! The ref counts, especially as Rush stomps away! The ref backs Rush down, and Rush just pumps it up!
The fans chant for “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Rush goes corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…! You get the horns!!”” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
Rush made quick work of this one, then he grabs the mic to say cut his music, but in Espanol. Rush continues by saying that he is done with all these dogs! He is Rush, and remember! When you mess with the bull… You get the HORNS! Who else will be trampled under El Toro Blanco as he hunts after gold?
Backstage interview with The Opps.
Renee Paquette is now with Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Hook, and newest member, Anthony Bowens. Renee says Joe is back, looked great back in action, but what is the game plan moving forward? Joe says, “Game plan… Maybe a declaration of intent. Well, it is simple. The Opps, we intend to reassert our dominance here in AEW. How do we plan to do that? I’ll tell you. We plan to do it with men like Katsuyori Shibata, fury made flesh, a man who is kind enough to put on a kick pad so he doesn’t cave in your head when he kicks your skull off.
“We’re gonna do that with men like Anthony Bowens, multiple time world tag team champion here in AEW. A man who has been undervalued, underappreciated, and most importantly, underestimated. And you will see the best version of him now in The Opps. Then we come to Hook, a man who intends to become the new King of Television when he captures the TNT Championship this weekend on Collision. But more importantly, our reign to the top, it includes strategic acquisition. And that brings me to you, Will Ospreay. Y’see, Will, I hope and I pray that you’re not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
“Because those boys in the Death Riders, they had you in the very same position that they saved you from not too long ago, and you know who came and took you out of that? We did, Will. We had your back. So you have to ask yourself, what kind of relationship do you want? Do you want one of convenience? Or one of confidence? Because The Opps are here, and the choice is yours.” That is quite the offer from the Samoan Submission Specialist. But will Ospreay change sides now that he’s already started down the road with the Death Riders? Or will he help The Opps get back on top?
FTR speaks.
Dynamite returns as #BigStoke informs us he just spoke with Tony Khan. Orange Cassidy, they have an “interesting proposition.” Next week, Dynamite Double Jeopardy! Cassidy goes 1v1 with Dax the Ax, and IF Cassidy wins, he and any member of The Conglomeration can challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! But WHEN Dax wins, FTR gets the shot at the AEW World Trios Championships! And Stoke knows ol’ OC is begging for Stoke to get in the ring so they can be face to face, but guess what? That is not gonna happen. Stoke thinks they have a pretty good third partner, and it is the man who took Darby to his limit.
In steps Tommaso Ciampa! The Psycho Killer says last time he and FTR teamed up, if he remembers correctly, Ciampa shelfed Mark Briscoe indefinitely. This time, they take them trios titles. Ciampa picks the popcorn crumb from Stokely’s beard, and says, “Top Guys out.” Ciampa eats the crumb, then waves goodbye. Will these three truly be a dangerous combination? Or can Freshly Squeezed earn himself and… someone… another title opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Hook challenging The Jet for the TNT Championship, we will see The Death Riders & The Dogs team up again, but against the combination of The Rascalz & Top Flight! Another 10 Man Tag, but which side comes out on top? Then there’s more gold on the line in Peoria, Illinois, as “Jungle” Jack Perry defends the AEW National Championship against Mascara Dorada! Will the King of the Ropes add more gold to the collection? Or will Jack Perry continue to live his best Tarzan Life? Then the Bang Bang Gang hopes to rebound from Ace’s loss tonight as they go 2v2 with Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta! Will Juice & Ace win big? Or will The Death Riders dominate the night?
And lastly, “Comeback Killer” Willow Nightingale put out the challenge last week and it has been answered! Anna Jay returns to action, and she challenges for the AEW TBS Championship! Will Anna truly be the Star of the Show? Or will the Babe with the Power overpower The Queenslayer?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Brody King!
The Relentless One promised to be a fighting champion, and so far that is mission accomplished. But he also promised that Kevin Knight gets the next shot next week! Will Darby continue to keep his promises? Or will the King of Death throw those plans for a loop?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we add another chapter to this storied and brutal rivalry!
The bell rings and the fans are fired up already. The rivals step up, shake hands, then back up, only for Darby to SHOTGUN Brody! Darby fires off fists, Brody shove him away, but Darby comes back with fists! Darby springboards, but into a CHOP! Darby is stinging but Brody clamps on a SLEEPER! Darby grab ropes, the ref counts, but then Brody SLAPS Darby’s hands down to GERMAN SUPLEX him away! Darby tumbles all the way to the corner, and Brody roars as he runs! CANNONBALL! Brody hauls Darby up, Canadian Racks, but Darby fights free! Darby goes to another corner, and he BOOTS Brody away!
Darby goes up but Brody CHOPS! Brody climbs, Darby CLUBS away, and Darby hops on for a SUPER CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and bails out while the fans fire up. Darby snarls, builds speed, and DIVES! But he just bounces off of Brody’s body?!? Even Darby has to smile about that, that was wild! Brody drags Darby up and CHOPS him! Darby staggers around the way but Brody follows. Brody brings Darby up, CHOPS him again, and he grabs a chair! The ref reprimands but Brody tells fans to move aside. Brody sits the chair up, makes Darby take a seat, and CHOPS him for good measure. Brody barks, fans join in, and Brody runs up!
But Darby trips Brody and Brody hits the chair! The fans rally as Darby hurries to take that chair for his own. Darby sets it up, brings Brody up, and Darby makes Brody take a seat. Darby fires forearms, CLAWS Brody’s back, then he climbs up the corner! The fans fire up because they know this means SUPER MISSILE DROPKICK! Direct hit on Brody but Darby also writhes from that landing! The fans are thunderous while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Darby but he insists he’s okay. Brody is okay to continue, as well, and both men slowly sit up. Darby hobbles and rolls into the ring, followed by Brody. They slowly stand, and Darby hobbles over to fire forearm after forearm! Brody DECKS Darby with just one! Brody leans on the ropes while he catches his breath, and Darby slowly sits back up. Brody brings Darby around to CHOP him back down! Darby sputters but Brody drags him back up. Brody ROCKS Darby, whips corner to corner hard, and Darby falls to the mat! Brody storms over to Darby, stands him up, and scoops for a SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Brody stays on Darby with another scoop and SLAM! Another cover, TWO! Darby toughs it out and Brody grows frustrated. Brody drags Darby up again, scoops and SLAMS again, then covers, TWO!! Darby continues to survive, and now Brody is oddly amused. Brody looms over Darby, but Darby fires shots at the legs. Brody CHOPS Darby down! Then SENTONS onto Darby! Darby sputters and clutches his leg, it was trapped under him when the senton hit! Brody shrugs, not his fault. Brody looms over Darby but Darby crawls away. Brody stalks Darby, brings him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture for the lift. Darby GUILLOTINE FACELOCKS to counter!
Brody puts Darby on the ropes, fires body shots, and then he CHOPS Darby down! Darby hits apron before he hits floor! The fans rally and bark while Brody argues with the ref. Brody goes out after Darby, drags him up, and CHOKE SLAMS him on the apron! Brody says this is what Darby wanted, so he clears the desk! The fans cheer, and Brody even puts the desk lid off to the side. Brody paces, and watching from the skybox, it’s Kevin Knight. The TNT Champion is facing one of these two next week, so naturally he wants to watch with his own eyes. But then Darby JUMPS on Brody’s back! Darby has a SLEEPER!
Darby squeezes tight, but Brody stays on his feet! Brody runs with Darby as a backpack, CANNOBNALL down through the desk hood!! Fairfax loses their minds as both men are down in the wreckage! We get a quick look backstage to see MJF is watching this, too. The ref checks and both men are able to continue. Brody is up first and he drags Darby around. Brody scoops but Darby fights free! Darby SHOVES Brody into the desk! That corner edge gets Brody right in the stomach! Darby hurries to finish clearing the desk, and he throws hands on Brody! And even SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! Brody SLAPS back!
Darby sputters on the desk, and now Brody climbs up to join him! The fans go nuts as Brody reels Darby in. Darby fires body shots and shots on the legs, but Brody CHOPS Darby! SLEEPER!! Brody dangles Darby like he has before, but Darby CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Brody lets go, Darby hurries back up, CODE RED ON THE DESK! The desk does not break, but both men might be busted up from that landing! The fans lose their minds all the same while the ref checks both men. Darby is up and in the ring, sore as he is, but Brody rises. Darby shakes out the bad leg, builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and they hit the desk again!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Darby sits up, then manages to hobble his way over. Brody follows, they roll into the ring, and Darby goes up the corner! But Brody trips Darby up, then CHOPS him into the Tree of Woe! Brody then sits Darby up, just so he can CHOP Darby again! Brody barks as he storms around, and then he runs up to CANNONBALL!! Darby sputters but Brody drags him up, just to short arm LARIAT him back down! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and shocks Brody! Brody hauls Darby right up, runs, CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!! Cover, TWO!!! Darby survives again and Brody is beside himself!
The fans are thunderous for Darby as he sits up in a daze. Brody shakes his head, unsure how Darby is still doing this. Brody YANKS Darby up, runs up, but Darby dodges the splash! Brody sputters from hitting buckles, and Darby CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Darby HEADBUTTS Brody, but that just pisses Brody off! Brody THROWS Darby onto a cameraman!! The camera is fine but Darby writhes on the ground! Brody storms out after Darby, grabs him by the legs, but Darby claws at the floor mat! The mat is pulled up as Brody drags Darby along! The fans fire up as the camera seems to be along for the ride!
Darby kicks at Brody, kicks free, then hurries to his feet. Brody CHOPS Darby and Darby staggers away. The fans rally and bark, and Brody runs up for a CANNONBALL THROUGH RAILING!! But Darby narrowly avoids that human car wreck!! The fans go nuts as Darby hurries to finish pulling up floor mats! Darby has exposed a good portion of concrete, but he makes sure to roll into the ring to stop the count. Brody storms back up on Darby, but Darby BITES Brody’s hands! The ref reprimands but Brody ROCKS Darby! Brody reels Darby in, and he looks to the floor! The fans freak out but Darby fights the suplex!
Darby SLAPS Brody’s hands, then slides under! SUNSET BOMB on bare concrete!! The fans go nuts again, but Darby isn’t done! Darby climbs, aims, and SUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Direct hit, and a solid one at that! The ring count climbs again, and Darby rolls in at 4 of 10. Brody is down at 6, but he rises at 7! Brody stands at 9, and he lunges in at 9.9! Only for Darby to COFFIN DROP again!! Then COFFIN DROP again!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Championship)
This newest chapter might’ve been their greatest, if not CRAZIEST, one yet! And in the end, Darby’s relentless nature carries him through again! Knight nods, knowing exactly what to expect for next week. But will Knight make it through the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil on Collision to then bring that TNT Championship to the dance? As for Brody, he and Darby shake hands as great rivals and friends. Darby makes sure to look at Knight up in the skybox, will Darby be able to survive his own reign going this hard week after week?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite that they really stacked with title matches. But at the same time, status quo kept and all in awesome ways. Honestly, part of me is surprised that Knight retained against MJF, because of the “Double or Nothing” idea of Darby VS MJF, title for title. But at the same time, maybe Darby is going to make MJF put up his ability to challenge for the world title, same as in MJF VS Hangman. Great win for Knight all the same, and he’ll have a very good match against Hook on Collision, and against Darby Allin next week. Darby VS Brody was an awesome main event, like PPV quality, holy crap, but great win for Darby.
MJF had a great promo with Callis & Andrade to further that feud and its slow burn. I would think that win, lose or draw with Darby, MJF will feud with Andrade for the summer. A great match for Ace Austin against Okada, but again, of course Okada won out so he and Takeshita will still have their title match. Great promo from Thekla & Skye to call out Brawling Birds, and Brawling Birds of course win their match tonight. I still wanna see that Triple Threat of Thekla VS Windsor VS Persephone with someone becoming a double champion, but it feels like it might be Thekla VS Windsor VS Hayter just so Thekla obviously gets away with a win.
Great women’s tag title match, #Shidalander getting their best showing yet, obviously. But given the story they’re building, of course Shidalander loses. Divine Dominion VS Brawling Birds definitely needs to happen for All In London, so all these other matches are just biding time on that. Rush continues to bide his time, but between the TNT Championship and the National Championship, Rush needs to get one of those to vindicate himself here in AEW. Great tag match from C&C VS RPG Vice, but also a great appearance by Conglomeration to go after FTR. They’re already building that story even before Double or Nothing, which is clunky, but I like the idea of the Double Jeopardy. Though, with that, FTR & Ciampa are definitely getting their match for the trios titles.
And great stuff in this story of Will Ospreay’s recovery. Great promo from Ospreay with the Death Riders, but then The Opps just jump in and want to recruit him now? That’s weird. I suppose there is still good continuity here, because Face Opps did fight against Heel Death Riders, and so the factions are double-turning and the feud is continuing. I am pretty sure Ospreay sticks to Death Riders in this, and there’s still so much missed opportunity not having Max Caster as part of Bowens’ story with The Opps. But hey, if it gives us Ospreay VS Shibata and Ospreay VS Joe through such a feud, who am I to question it?
My Score: 9.1/10
