Adam Cole VS Frankie Kazarian!
The first AEW match for the Elite’s prodigal son is here! But will Jersey be all about the boom? Or will the Elite Hunter check off the newest name on his hitlist?
The bell rings and fans are fired up already. Cole and Kaz circle, then Cole rushes in! Kaz avoids the boot, arm-drags Cole away, then headlocks for a takeover. Cole headscissors but Kaz kips out to hit another headlock takeover. Cole fights up, powers out but Kaz runs him over! Things speed up, Kaz blocks a hip toss but so does Cole, so Kaz drop toeholds to float to the headlock. Kaz grinds Cole down as fans cheer the technical exchange. Cole fights up, powers Kaz to ropes, then back suplexes Kaz up and out! Kaz checks his face, Cole goes out after him. Cole brings Kaz up to whip him into the apron! Cole soaks up the cheers and the jeers before he puts Kaz back in.
Cole takes a bow and fans cheer. Cole goes to Kaz, but Kaz swings a haymaker! Cole avoids it and thrusts a shoulder, only for Kaz to hit the guillotine leg drop! Kaz says, “This is still my house!” Kaz aims, slingshots and sunset flips, but Cole rolls through to BOOT Kaz down! Fans fire up as Cole rains down rights! Cole then drags Kaz up into a chinlock and he grinds Kaz back down. Kaz endures, fans rally up, and Kaz throws body shots. Cole clinches but Kaz CHOPS! And CHOPS! Kaz whips, Cole reverses but Kaz rolls off Cole’s back to waistlock. Cole switches, Kaz victory rolls it, TWO! Kaz keeps a leg hooked up to drag Cole into a very unique triangle hold!
Fans rally as Cole endures, kicks with his free foot over and over and finally gets free! Kaz staggers, Cole fireman’s carries for USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Cole is annoyed but he goes to a corner. Fans cheer as he tunes up the band! Cole thinks he’s the Heartbreak Kid but Kaz blocks the kick! Kaz waistlocks, O’Conner Rolls to CHAOS THEORY! Cover, TWO! Cole survives but Kaz fires himself up! Cole goes to a corner, Kaz runs in and DOUBLE KNEES Cole in the back! Then chicken wing, but Cole fights that off! Cole goes up the corner and pushes back to roll Kaz up, TWO! Kaz gets to the corner, runs out but into a SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO!!
Cole can’t believe Kaz survives but fans are fired up again! Cole aims from the corner and climbs up now. Cole leaps but Kaz blocks Panama Sunrise to ALABAMA SLAM! Springboard leg drop! Cover, TWO!! Kaz and Cole are both down but fans are fired up all over again! Kaz and Cole throw forearms as they’re on the mat and go back and forth. They stand, Cole throws a forearm but Kaz gives it back. The forearms keep going, Kaz gets the edge, then mule kicks and knee lifts, into Cole’s BOOT! Kaz comes back to LARIAT! Kaz hurries to get Cole up but Cole hits a LAST SHOT! Cover, TWO!! Kaz survives again, that wasn’t the last shot!
Both men stir as fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Kaz gets to a corner, drags himself up, and Cole runs in but is put on the apron. Kaz and Cole each dodge a haymaker but Cole is ready for the leg drop this time! Cole dodges and Kaz lands on his ass, then Cole hurries up top. Cole leaps, PANAMA SUNRISE!! But Cole doesn’t stop there, he takes his knee pad down and… BLINDSIDE SHINING WIZARD! Cover, Cole wins!
Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall
Call that one the BOOM, because that’s what it’s all about! Kaz is denied vengeance again, and Cole gets a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for story time with Adam Cole, baybay~? Hope. Hope is a dangerous, dangerous thing. And that locker room hopes it can keep up with the Elite. Well guess what? It ain’t gonna happen! I’ve only been here for a short time and there are three times who have really gotten under my skin: Christian Cage; Luchasaurus; and Jungle Boy!” Fans cheer for all three of those, but if those three are so tough, then how about next week’s AEW Rampage Grand Slam, those three VS Cole & The Bucks in a Six Man Tag?
“The Super Kliq is back, baybay. And there’s not a damn thing anybody can do to stop us!” Literal mic drop as the gauntlet has been cast! Will Captain Charisma lead Jurassic Express into battle against Cole and the former tag team champions?
AEW hears from The Lucha Brothers and the HFO’s mercenaries.
Rey Fenix calls out The Butcher & The Blade. They used to be a family, but it seems they’ve forgotten that. The brothers have the gold, and Butcher himself says “What you’re looking at are two of the baddest, meanest mother-” Blade has Butcher stop there. Blade himself says this is a new reality, a darker reality. Alexa Abrahantes translates for Penta as he says that this Friday, 9/17, AEW Rampage, “if you want the gold, you’ll have to sweat, you’ll have to cry and you’re gonna bleed!” What happens when these two ruthless duos do battle for the belts?
Tony Schiavone interviews Fuego Del Sol & Sammy Guevara.
Schiavone brings up that Fuego may have lost to Miro but he still got the contract, and now he’s got a brand new car! Fuego says this all new Hyundai is incredible. As much as he loves it, he’d trade it all away to be TNT Champion. Sammy asks if that’s a challenge. Y’know what? It is! Car VS Title for the TNT Championship on Rampage! The challenge has been made, will Miro accept it? And will Miro soon be the owner of a new Hyundai?
MJF heads to the ring!
Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Wardlow following behind, tells the production team to cut his music. Jersey boos really hard but MJF just smirks. “Last week, you guys were oh so sympathetic for Cryin’ Brian. But you should be sympathetic for me! Because right now, I am standing in the armpit of America known as New Jersey!” Fans call MJF an A-Hole but MJF asks Jersey what Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Ham and Jersey’s #MID hockey team have in common? “They all suck as hard as your Jersey Shore skanks!!” But MJF isn’t here to talk to the fans. He wants to have a conversation with the viewers at home.
See, MJF was “smartened up” about his comments last week possibly offending some of us fans. Fans tell MJF to STFU and he tells them nope. As for our feelings, he doesn’t care! But as we all know, MJF is Salt of the Earth and religious, so right now he wants to take a moment to have a conversation with the late, great Loose Cannon, Brian Pillman Sr. MJF looks to Heaven and asks Mr. Pillman- Oh wait! He looks down and shouts, “Hey, Pillman! We need to talk!” Fans boo harder as MJF just laughs at his tasteless joke. MJF continues to say that he’s a huge fan of the legend. But unfortunately, his widow #Methanie created the “worst excuse for a second generation wrestler in Brian Pillman Jr.”
So the reason MJF is “talking” to Pillman Sr. is to give him fair warning. “Tell your son if he shows up in that awful town known as Queens, that I am going to massacre him!” The people can chant the stupid last name, “Pillman! Pillman!” The fans actually do chant that. Chant as long as you want, because in the end it’ll be oh too obvious that MJF is better than- Here comes BPJ! MJF sends Wardlow to intercept but BPJ isn’t coming from the ramp side! He’s from the crowd side and with a chair! MJF panics but Wardlow returns to snatch the chair. BPJ SLAPS Wardlow, then dares him to bring it! Wardlow seethes and rushes in but BPJ dumps him to the apron!
BPJ gets the chair back and he swings! Wardlow gets away, he and MJF regroup and stand down! BPJ is ready to swing for the fences at Dynamite Grand Slam, but will MJF even step up to the plate?
AEW shares Jim Ross’ interview with BPJ from earlier today.
Good ol’ JR can remember so clearly, his phone rings and it was Pillman Sr. He told JR about his son being born, and how excited he was to say he was going to be “Little Brian.” Then in Cincinnati, JR just had this sick feeling of being embarrassed on behalf of the Pillman family. MJF humiliated BPJ but now BPJ can redeem himself. JR wants to tell BPJ that for the family’s sake, MJF needs to get his ass kicked. Is that what BPJ is planning on doing? Cuz that’s what it’ll take. BPJ says that JR knows his family’s history better than anybody. And he knows how important it is to BPJ to fulfill the legacy. Last week in Cincy, BPJ feels he let his father down.
But MJF! While you were waking up every day to Egyptian cotton and being fed from a silver spoon, BPJ was fighting for his life. The people know his story, they know where BPJ comes from, he and MJF are not the same. MJF will find out that he’s never been in a ring with someone like BPJ. BPJ might be clean and well put together right now, and he got through college and graduated, but where he’s from, the upbringing was FERAL. MJF doesn’t know what BPJ has lost or what he’s been through. But on 9/22 at Arthur Ashe Stadium, MJF isn’t stepping into the ring with any man. He’s stepping in the ring with a PILLMAN.
Backstage interview with Christian Cage & Jurassic Express.
Jungle Boy cuts Marvez off to say there’s been “a lot of fuss about Adam Cole and The Elite.” JB doesn’t get it, though. Because quite frankly, JB has better friends, better hair, and- Christian apologizes for cutting JB off here, but he’s thinking. Cole does have pretty good friends, actually. Yeah, the #SuperElite using their EVP status to throw Cole a lifeline and drag him out of “developmental.” But here’s the thing: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! And since Cole is already used to losing Wednesday night wars, maybe he should add Fridays to that, too. JB wraps up with, “See you at the Grand Slam, baybay,” and Luchasaurus growls. Will this trio be able to strike out the Super Kliq?
FTR w/ Tully Blanchard VS Dante Martin & Matt Sydal!
Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood may have lost to Santana & Ortiz, but they can still make a run at the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Will they run through Angel Dorado and the high flying veteran? Or will the young stud and the old cat be able to jump them in line?
The teams sort out and Dax starts with Sydal. The bell rings, FTR gives a quick hug but Sydal O’Conner Rolls! TWO, Sydal drags Dax to a cradle, TWO! Arm-drag after arm-drag, but Dax gets Sydal up! Sydal headscissors Dax to the corner then tags in Dante. Sydal whips Dax, they both leap frog and double dropkicks! Cover, ONE! Dante drags Dax up to wrench the arm and he keeps Dax from Cash. Dax pulls hair and puts Dante in a corner then digs his fingers into Dante’s face. Dax lets off to CHOP and stomp and CHOP again! Dax whips Dante corner to corner but Dante goes up and out and hits back with haymakers! Elbow for Cash, but Cash kicks Dante’s springboard out of whack!

Cash dropkicks Dante down before he can get to Sydal. Cash brings Dante up to HEADBUTT, then he throws another HEADBUTT to put him in a corner. Cash snapmares and wraps on a thrashing chinlock.

Sydal drags himself up, Cash chokes him on the ropes! Cash lets off as the ref counts, but Tully gets his shots in! Tully gets away with it and Cash goes back to Sydal for a cobra twist. Sydal endures but then Tully distracts the ref. The ref doesn’t see FTR fake a tag and have Dax come in! But Sydal counters with a cradle!
The ref sees that and counts, TWO!! Dax CLOBBERS Sydal for foiling the plan! Tag to Cash, Cash stomps Sydal down. Tag to Dax, he drags Sydal up to whip and catch Sydal to the cobra twist! Sydal endures again but Dax pushes his head down. FTR forms a chain for leverage! Sydal endures, FTR lets off, but then Dax reaches out a hand. Cash takes it and the chain is back on!

Cash & Dax reestablish themselves and are ready to climb those rankings! Will FTR #FindTheirRedemption on the road into the Fall?
CM Punk talks the Suzuki Incident.
“This is a very delicate subject. This is something we take very, very seriously in All Elite Wrestling. Minoru Suzuki is a pioneer in not only professional wrestling but in mixed martial arts. He is a Carl Gotch trained professional wrestler, he’s the King of Pancrase, and he felt slighted that his entrance music was cut off.” That’s the gist of it. Suzuki feels insulted and he wants his full entrance song.
Lance Archer speaks on the “incident.”
“Moxley! You wanted Suzuki in AEW, to come to the United States of America and face you. But you wanted to do it in Cincinnati, Ohio of all places. If that’s not the definition of unfair, I dunno what the hell is.” Moxley had the refs on his side, the people on his side, and everything in his favor. Guess what? That changes in New York. Archer and Suzuki have been a team for a long time, and now Moxley and Kingston are going to learn, “Once Suzuki-Gun, always Suzuki-Gun.” And at the Grand Slam, Suzuki and the Murderhawk Monster will show us what Strong Style is all about in a way you never wanted to know. Suzuki-Gun ICHIBAN!
The lights go out!
And when they turn back on, we see it’s MALAKAI BLACK! The dark father goes to the ring, making the Jersey Devil proud with that mask. Malakai gets a mic and paces around as the fans cheer. Malakai has them hush and calls for the members of the House of Black to please rise. “For we have an enemy in our midst.” He looks right at… Rosario Dawson?! One of Cody Rhodes’ cohosts from The Go Big Show is in the front row, and Malakai is upset she is wearing the Nightmare Family tracksuit. Malakai goes out but she hops the railing to meet him! Malakai warns her not to do something foolish, but then from the crowd, here comes CODY RHODES himself!
Fans are going nuts as Cody is storming down the steps, but Rosario jumps on Malakai’s back! Fans are losing it as Cody gets in to DECK Malakai! Cody fires hands, Malakai forearms back! Malakai BOOTS but Cody comes right back to TOSS Malakai over the railing! They brawl right among the crowd and security does its best to keep up! Fans lose their minds as the brawl continues up the steps! Cody bumps Malakai off chairs and Rosario flexes for Team Cody. Malakai throws hands, the fight keeps going up, and Cody SMACKS Malakai with someone’s drink! Cody fires up and he drags Malakai along the way. Malakai hits back, they’re still going up and up!
Cody smacks Malakai off the railing! Malakai uses the railing to choke Cody! Cody gets free and SMACKS Malakai with another drink! Malakai hits back again, they go back up the stairs and a THIRD drink is used! Cody fires off hands, Malakai hits the bad leg! Malakai kicks the leg, Cody hobbles up the steps and Malakai borrows an idea from Cody! DRINK SMASH! AEW goes to break as this chaos continues!
AEW hears from The Bunny.
Allie says, “The Queenslayer, Anna Jay is back. And we’re all very excited.” But she wouldn’t have attacked her if she would just stay out of the way. But Anna can’t help herself, can she? Bunny says Anna should be careful. She wouldn’t want to get dragged down the rabbit hole, would she?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay and the Dark Order.
Alex Marvez notes this will be the Rampage debut of Anna as she takes on The Bunny. This is a big deal, and then Evil Uno speaks up. He promises to lead the way and- Alex Reynolds interrupts now, sarcastically saying Uno’s a great leader with him cutting off Anna when this was her interview. Looks like nothing’s change. Oh, good to see you back, Alex, after you left their group a few weeks ago! Uno has no idea what this is. No, Reynolds left Uno’s dumb ass and is back for Anna’s sake. Alan Angels speaks up now, saying that while Reynolds was gone, UNO has been going on a power trip! Anna shouts over them all! If they can’t get this together, she doesn’t want anyone ringside.
John Silver asks if he’s still allowed. No, no one gets to be ringside but Tay Conti. The ladies leave the boys to bicker, will the Dark Order get things… in order?
Dan Lambert, America Top Team and the Men of the Year are in the ring.
Lambert says, “When I was younger, if you wanted to know which wrestlers were popular, you’d go out to the merchandise stand and see what was selling. But do that at an AEW show and you learn more about its fanbase than you do about tis wrestlers, because every single t-shirt is sold out. In men’s small and women’s large!” If the truth hurts, then cover up your fragile little ears and then they’ll return to the “regularly scheduled” programming where you can watch some “5’8”, 149 pound dork throw 11 Superkicks, climb up three levels to the highest balcony of the building, do a backflip all the way to the floor, crashing through six tables, landing on his lifeless opponent, who will kick out at the count of two, and you morons will go crazy.”
Fans tell Lambert to STFU but here comes CHRIS JERICHO! Fans sing Judas as Le Champion AND Jake Hager walk out. Lambert tells production to turn off the music! The fans don’t really know the song, they’re googling the lyrics on their phones right now! “TURN THAT S*IT OFF!” But the fans sing Judas because they DO know it! Jericho just shrugs as he enjoys it. Jericho then says that sounds like there’s 15 THOUSAND people here who LOVE that song! And they could sing along to Lambert’s song, but no one knows the words to “I’m a Fat Faced Dipsh*t, Yeah Yeah Yeah.” Wait, here it is! Jericho sings it for us!
Lambert says that’s really funny. He admits to see Jericho out here defending this company, but it makes sense. Tony Conman isn’t the master manipulator, it’s JERICHO. Jericho will do and say whatever to get the fans to spend their allowances that their parents give them on Jericho’s stupid book o’ the month club and his Fozzy records! Wait, you guys get an allowance? And what is Lambert’s problem? He stands there, screaming like a grumpy old man at the AEW clouds, surrounded by American Top Team. Seeing all these meatheads here, Jericho has one question: Who’s on top? Fans chant, “WHO’S ON TOP?”
Jericho says Lambert’s got nothing! All the power’s in his fist cuz he relies on scare tactics, but he can’t scare Big Jake! Jake is undefeated in MMA! And Jericho’s been getting into skirmishes with MMA tough guys his whole career! The Beast a few years ago, and even before that he had a shoot fight with the Raging Bill. They didn’t kill Jericho, Lambert’s team can’t, either. But like our friend and honorary Inner Circle member, Mike Tyson, once said, “Everybody’s got a plan until they get punched in the face.” So maybe Hager and Jericho go to the ring and knock those chipmunk buck teeth of Lambert’s right down his friggin’ throat?!
Ethan Page, Scorpio Sky and all of Lambert’s people dare Jericho and Hager to do this. Lambert says he has to give them credit, the quicker they get to it is the quicker they get through it. But if this is to go down, and if the fans really want to see the American Top Team fueled Men of the Year take down the Inner Circle Jerks, it’ll have to be in a REAL city, not a s*ithole like Jersey! It’ll be the biggest city of them all, in the Big Apple! In that case, if Ethan & Scorpio are too much of pussies to face them here, it’ll happen next week! And there’ll be no escape from New York for them! The Grand Slam just got that much bigger! Will Hager & Jericho hit the Men of the Year out of the park?
The Gunn Club speaks.
Papa Billy says, “So we’re here to talk about disrespect. And no one has been more disrespected in AEW than the Gunn Club. Why did we do what we did to Paul Wight?” It was to get their point across. Wins and losses matter? Well let’s see… Billy & Colten as a team? Undefeated! Billy & Austin as a team? Undefeated! Austin & Colten as a team? UNDEFEATED! Trios? UN-DE-FEAT-ED! Now respect will be earned one way or another. And if anyone has a problem with that, just say when. The Gunn Club is locked and loaded, who will they shoot down on their way to respect and titles?
Jade Cargill w/ Mark Sterling VS Leyla Hirsch!
The storm has come to Jersey, but this is the city #LEGIT calls home! Will Jade be in for the toughest match of her young career? Will she be in for her first LOSS, at that?
The bell rings, Leyla gets face to, well, chest with Jade, but she goes right for a leg! Jade CLUBS Leyla then fireman’s carries, but Leyla slips off to get the takedown! Leyla throws down hands but Jade kicks her away. Jade bails out to regroup with Sterling but Leyla DIVES! Sterling takes the tope and Jade stomps Leyla down! Jade whips Leyla into the ring, gets in but Leyla gets around to waistlock. Jade backs Leyla into buckles, throws elbows then forearms. Jade whips corner to corner, Leyla reverses and runs in to forearm smash! Leyla sweeps the legs, runs corner to corner and METEORAS! Then SWINGING DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! But Leyla has the ARMBAR!!
Jade clasps hands, fights up and dead lifts Leyla to POWERBOMB her! Jade stands up, scowls as she paces around, and AEW goes picture in picture as she stomps away on Leyla.
Jade drags Leyla up, whips her to ropes and Leyla tumbles out of the ring! Jade goes out after Leyla to stomp her back down. Jade whips Leyla hard into railing! Leyla falls over in a heap but Jade drags her back up for a snap suplex! Jade kips up and fires up, as does Sterling. Jade stomps Leyla more, the ref has her let off to check on Leyla and Jade goes to the ring. Jade’s willing to let the ring count settle this as Leyla stirs. The count is 5 of 10 before Leyla stands back up. Leyla gets in at 7, Jade stomps her to the ropes then kicks her around to a corner. Jade CLUBS Leyla against the ropes, brings her up but Leyla ROCKS Jade with a forearm!
Leyla throws more forearms but Jade CLUBS her back down. Jade drags Leyla back up but Leyla fires forearms back. Leyla swings but into a pump handle POWERSLAM! Jade drags Leyla back up, CLUBS her back down, but Leyla throws body shots. Jade CLUBS, stomps and drags Leyla around to another fireman’s carry. Leyla squirrels around to a SLEEPER HOLD! Leyla holds on tight as Jade tries to fight free! Jade throws Leyla on the second try, Leyla goes to a corner. Jade runs but Leyla dodges the boot! Leyla waistlocks, Jade throws elbows but can’t get free! Jade keeps throwing elbows and she’s free now, but Leyla comes back to whip and GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!!
Jade survives and gets to the apron but Leyla runs and DIVES! Direct hit and Jade hits railing! Leyla puts Jade in, fans fire up and Leyla runs to KNEE Jade down! Cover, TWO!! Jade survives again and Sterling is panicking! Leyla puts Jade in a drop zone and goes up top, for a LEGIT MOONSAULT FLOP! Jade evades and comes back with the BOOT!! Jade isn’t done, she drags Leyla up for the chicken wings and JADED!! Cover, Jade wins!
Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall
That was Jade’s toughest match yet, but she comes out looking legit in her own right! Will this undefeated streak continue until the #JadeBrand is fighting for gold?
Andrade El Idolo speaks.
“If you lie to me, it’s because you don’t respect me. I’m always one step ahead. This is why I have my assistant, Jose.” Andrade swears he never gave the order to have them interrupt his match. So why the hell did Jose get on the apron?! He wants Jose to tell him why, and Jose says it was Chavo’s order. Chavo isn’t the boss! ANDRADE is the boss! He is the KINGPIN of AEW. He can beat PAC, or anyone he wants, when he wants. Will El Idolo prove he IS the face of Latino wrestlers when he wins one on his own?
Taz storms over to commentary.
He’s claiming CM Punk is taking his job now! But the rest of commentary defends Punk is just doing what he was asked. Punk stands up and Taz backs off. Taz’s son, Hook, stares Punk down but Punk asks Taz if he’s really letting his son get this close to things. Punk stares Hook down in return, but HOBBS attacks from behind! Powerhouse Hobbs punks out Punk and Taz says it’s clobbering time! Punk hits back on Hobbs but Hook gets a DRAGON SLEEPER! Team Taz mugs Punk, then they tell commentary to clear out. Schiavone, JR and Excalibur don’t have much choice as Hook starts pushing computer screens off the desk.
Hobbs drags Punk up and gives him an URENAGE onto the table! The table doesn’t break and Punk bounces off it! Team Taz leaves as security rushes in and fans boo. Will Punk be in any shape to get even with Taz and his actual punks?
AEW hears from Shawn Spears.
The Chairman sits with the chair he painted up for Darby Allin while calling him out. “I’m generic? I’m the piece of s*it? Correct, on all fronts. That’s why I was the guy to hand you your first loss here in AEW. That’s why history’s gonna repeat itself on Dynamite.” Allin can’t call down the rain without getting some mud! Spears didn’t invent rainy days, but for the past 20 years, he’s had the best damn umbrella! The Chairman cometh, but will he be leaving here clean and dry?
Darby Allin w/ Sting VS Shawn Spears w/ Tully Blanchard!
The Relentless One and the Icon may have gotten tricked by the very tactical Tully, but this is about proving Tully’s words are as wrong as the legend’s ever been. Will Spears be the one stinging from this rematch?
The bell rings and fans are fired up for Darby as he stares down Spears. But then Tully creeps closer, and Spears KNEES Darby down in the corner! Spears stomps a mudhole, then hangs Darby out to dry on the ropes! Darby falls to the floor, Spears goes out to high-five Tully, but now Sting creeps closer. The ref has Sting and Tully stay back, Spears drags Darby along with a headlock to get right in Sting’s face. Spears whips Darby into the steel steps! Spears then positions the steps by the ramp and brings Darby back over. Darby throws body shots but Spears CLUBS him and smacks him off the steps! Spears puts Darby against the steps to KNEE him into them!
The ref has Spears stop but Spears eggs Sting on with a middle finger! Spears then drops a knee pad and runs at Darby, but Darby dodges! Spears only hits steel! Spears hobbles and Tully is concerned as he checks on his protégé. Darby gets in the ring, fans rally up behind him as he builds speed, but Tully is Spears’ shield.

Darby flips, falls and hits hard off the apron! Spears gets Darby up and into the ring, hobbles around to get a bottle of water. Spears wets a towel and goes to the ring to wipe off Darby’s face paint!
Fans boo as Spears smears towel in Darby’s face then elbows him back down! AEW goes picture in picture as Spears teases throwing the towel into the crowd, only to drop it outside the ring. Spears puts his kneepad back up as he stalks Darby to a corner. Spears drags Darby up to CLUB him on the back, then CLUBS him again. Spears brings Darby around to scoop and BACKBREAKER! Darby writhes, Spears makes sure his bad knee is okay, and then Spears walks it off as he stalks Darby. Darby kicks the bad leg but Spears brings him up for a back suplex. Darby lands on his feet to CHOP BLOCK! Darby rains down furious fists but Spears pushes him away.
Darby gets up at the ropes and goes to a corner. Darby comes back but into a BIG back suplex! Spears rains down fists on Darby now as AEW goes to break.
AEW returns and Spears has Darby in a SHARPSHOOTER! Spears is definitely sending a message to Sting but Darby endures! Darby drags himself over and gets the ROPEBREAK!

Tully gets the chair and gets in the ring to SMACK Sting! It didn’t do a thing! Sting kicks the chair away then pushes Tully to a corner! FTR goes after Sting to save their mentor! They stomp Sting down, rain down fists, but Darby crawls over. Darby attacks but Cash GERMAN SUPLEXES him down! FTR mugs Darby now, then they stand Sting up. Tully wants in on this as FTR hits the MIND BREAKER!! Tully has a towel of his own, and just as Spears wiped away Darby’s paint, Tully is wiping away Sting’s paint!
Fans boo as Tully leaves Darby and Steve down on the mat but the fans cuss them out. The Pinnacle doesn’t care, they’ll do this until they’re truly on top of AEW!
AEW hears from Bryan Danielson.
“The way The Elite acts and dresses, sound to me like people who are insecure.” Bryan isn’t exactly going after all of them, just one member. Bryan’s heard how great Omega is, and seen how great Omega is. Bryan is mostly just excited to get in the ring and wrestler Kenny Omega. But the reality is, if Omega doesn’t want to step up, then someone else will be Bryan’s first opponent. What Bryan loves about AEW is that everyone is hungry here. Everyone wants to go in and prove themselves. Bryan is here, he’s game, who’s ready to go?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
He’s excited to be here in New Jersey, and he loves wrestling because of BRYAN DANIELSON! The American Dragon heads to the ring, Jersey chants “YES! YES! YES!” for him as he joins Schiavone in the ring. Schiavone notes what Bryan’s said about Kenny Omega and The Elite, and we’d all love to see Bryan get in the ring with Omega. But before Bryan can speak, Don Callis interrupts, with Omega following behind. Callis says we’ve already heard enough from Bryan, because he’s been listening to it all week. It’s sickening, really. “The Hippie Millionaire,” the hero of the fans. “What a sanctimonious son of a bitch you are.”
It must’ve been so~ hard~ to make the decision to sign such a big contract and come to the number one wrestling company in the world, built on the back of Kenny Omega! “But wait, there’s more! The piece de resistance was, you made this final decision to come here, thinking of what was best for the entire wrestling business and everyone in it! And people call me a carny piece of s*it.” Fans do chant that at him, though. But Callis will take that back, because Omega corrected him. This is really how Bryan thinks. So in that case, Callis was wrong. Bryan isn’t a carny POS, he’s just a MARK like the fans! BTW, who does Bryan think he is, dictating who gets what?! Callis & Omega run AEW!
SHUT UP, DON! Bryan is here to talk to Omega. “Some day, this will be about the title. But right now, it’s just about who’s better. Let’s give the people what they want. Kenny Omega VS Bryan Danielson, what do you say?!?” Callis says NO! Fans say “YES! YES! YES!” Callis again says no, but Bryan tells him, “SHUT UP, YOU PIECE O’ S*IT!” Bryan is here to talk to Kenny Omega. But maybe he shouldn’t have. Bryan came to AEW to fight the Best Bout Machine, the GOD OF PRO-WRESTLING~! But since he’s been here, Bryan’s only ever seen a guy who hangs out with goofy stooges, and lets the POS talk for him. Fans still chant that.
Bryan heard the rumors that maybe Omega’s lost his confidence or lost a step. Bryan doesn’t think that’s true. He just thinks Omega’s lost his BALLS. So what does Omega say? Yes or no? Fans chant, “YES! YES! YES!” Callis says no, but Omega is given the mic to answer for himself. “So you say you want the Best Bout Machine? You say you want the God of Pro-Wrestling? My answer… is YES.” Callis isn’t happy about that! But it seems Omega agrees, this is about the people, and their pride as pro-wrestlers! Will Omega show everyone that he is still the best?
Miro speaks.
“Fuego. Every man I have redeemed has moved on to a better career. And after I had forgiven them, they’d all been smart enough not to stick around. So why are you calling me out?! They say, ‘Don’t put your hand on the stove that already burned you,’ but you are putting your throat on a blade that already spared you.” And now Fuego is challenging God’s Favorite Champion with a car on the line? Miro will bash Fuego’s brain, then bash the car, and the Fuego family will be grateful! Will the Redeemer keep his word and keep the TNT Championship? Or will Fuego be the one baptizing Miro with fire to forge his own golden legacy?
Matt Hardy speaks.
“Orange Cassidy, you broke my nose! Nobody breaks Big Money Matt Hardy’s nose!” Cassidy owes a debt and Hardy always collects! Freshly Squeezed has made a mockery of Hardy’s business, the pro-wrestling business, for far too long! Hardy is sick and tired of the antics, so he will take away everything that is “cool” about Cassidy, and that starts with his hair. Hardy vows to shave Cassidy’s head and make Orange Cassidy into an egghead! When and where will this Hair VS Hair match go down?
Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston VS 2point0 w/ Daniel Garcia!
The Maniac and Mad King know Suzuki-Gun’s coming for their necks, but they’ve still got some beef to squash with Matt Lee & Jeff Parker. Will 2point0 find out they don’t rule after all?
But again, 2point0 and Daniel Garcia jump Moxley and Kingston from behind! But Moxley and Kingston are better prepared for this one and they hit back! Kingston gets mugged 2v1 while Moxley has Parker, but Kingston throws Lee into railing and fires off on Garcia! Moxley sits Parker down and BITES his forehead! The ref tries to get this in the ring as Lee attacks Kingston. Moxley puts Parker in the ring and we have a match! Parker fires hands back on Moxley, runs, but Moxley tanks the shoulder. Kingston DDT’s Lee, Moxley ROCKS Parker to then X PLEX! Parker flounders, Moxley has him in a corner and CHOPS him!
Moxley CHOPS Parker again, and then fakes Parker out to SLAP him on the back! Moxley scoops but Parker slips out to rake eyes! Tag to Lee and he runs in, but into a drop step and SNAP SAIDO! Moxley drags Lee up with a neck wrench then fish hooks AND BITES Lee’s face! Moxley lets off as the ref reprimands, and he whips Lee to ropes. Lee holds ropes and bails out but Moxley pursues. Lee gets to the ramp but Garcia rushes Moxley! Moxley throws Garcia into steel steps, only for Parker to dropkick Moxley down! Lee returns now that he has back-up and 2point0 mugs Moxley! They set Moxley up and hit a DOUBLE APRON FLAPJACK as AEW goes picture in picture!
Moxley is down, Lee gets in the ring only to refresh the count, then he takes his time bringing Moxley back up. Lee puts Moxley in the ring, Moxley flounders around and Lee stomps him down. Lee stomps Moxley at ropes, lets off as the ref counts, but Garcia talks trash. Tag to Parker as Moxley crawls to the apron and Parker drops ax handles! Garcia mockingly applauds as Parker paces in the ring. Parker drags Moxley to hit a spinning toehold! Moxley endures as Parker twists the foot, but Lee tags in to drop ax handles. Cover, TWO! Kingston is up and pissed but the ref keeps him in his corner while Lee has a chinlock on Moxley.
Lee puts Moxley in a corner and throws hands, then pushes Moxley to the corner. Tag to Parker, 2point0 mugs Moxley, then Parker snapmares. Parker wraps on a chinlock nice and tight and he grinds Moxley down. Moxley endures and Jersey rallies up. But Parker claws Moxley’s face then drops elbows! Parker wraps the chinlock back on as the ref reprimands, but Moxley starts fighting up to his feet. Moxley powers up, throws body shots and gets free to run, into a calf kick! Cover, TWO! Parker drags Moxley over, tags Lee, and 2point0 mugs Moxley again. Lee throws in elbows right to the top of Moxley’s head, then slaps him around.
Lee whips Moxley to a corner, tags Parker and then Parker runs in to forearm smash! Parker CHOPS Moxley but Moxley CHOPS back! Parker rakes Moxley’s eyes, tags Lee, and AEW returns to single picture. 2point0 botches their whip combo and Moxley BOOTS Lee! Moxley ROCKS Parker, then he staggers around. Parker gets up, Moxley fires off forearms! Moxley runs but Parker forearms him in the corner! Feed to Lee’s drop toehold, BOOYAH ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Lee tags Parker, throws more elbows onto Moxley, then Parker sucker punches Kingston! Moxley back drops Parker! Lee tags in and runs, but Moxley LARIATS Lee right down!
Fans fire up, hot tag to Kingston! Kingston rallies with BIG haymakers, then he whips Lee into Parker at the corner! Kingston runs in to SPLASH SANDWICH! Kingston unleashes the MACHINE GUN CHOPS! EXPLODER for Lee but Garcia gets up on the apron. Kingston DECKS Garcia, but Parker rolls Kingston up! TWO, and Kingston URAKENS Parker right down! Lee shoves Kingston, Kingston knees low and hits a DDT! Tag back to Moxley and fans fire up again! Maniac and Mad King fire themselves up, they get Parker up, THE VIOLENT CROWN!! Cover, Moxley & Kingston win!
Winners: Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston, by pinfall
Moxley tells Suzuki right in the camera, if they want some, they can come get it! But wait! Here comes Suzuki after all!! The song begins, will we get to hear it all? He walks out slowly onto the stage and Moxley stares him down. Suzuki still smiles despite the black eye and stiches are clear on his face. Suzuki goes down the ramp to the ring, Moxley and Kingston hold their ground, and fans get ready for the moment…! KA ZE NI NA REEEE~! And then Archer appears from the crowd side! Archer drags Kingston out of the ring and throws him into railing! Suzuki and Moxley brawl, they spill out of the ring and Moxley throws Suzuki into railing!
Archer drags Kingston into the crowd and fans are going nuts as Kingston fires off headbutts! Suzuki POSTS Moxley, Kingston stalks Archer now. Archer kicks low and bumps Kingston off railing while Suzuki and Moxley fight towards the timekeeper’s area! Suzuki blocks, Moxley blocks, Moxley bumps Suzuki off the table. They climb onto the table, they brawl with more haymakers, but Suzuki manages to power Moxley into the Gotch hold! Moxley powers out and SMACKS Suzuki with a mic! Moxley drags Suzuki around the way and has him take a seat to rain down fists! Moxley BITES Suzuki to try and reopen those stitches!
Kingston and Archer make their way back to ringside, right as Moxley and Suzuki bust through railing to fight in the crowd! Jersey is thunderous as the chaos continues all the way to Dynamite signing off! If this is how the fight starts, how will it end in New York?
My Thoughts:
Another great episode for Dynamite and this worked as a great go-home to what is apparently AEW Grand Slam week now. Even this week’s Rampage is awesome with all the set-up from tonight. Punk gets jumped by Team Taz and is going to fight Hobbs for his first TV match, and that’s going to be great stuff. Fuego is pretty gutsy for putting up his new car for the title, but I feel like Miro is just going to win again and then use Fuego’s body to beat up the car. And what great continuity for Lucha Brothers to fight Butcher & Blade and have the titles on the line. Pretty sure Lucha Brothers retain and this gets their first defense out of the way before having an extended feud with other teams.
Cole VS Kaz was a great opener, Cole had a great promo to call out Christian & Jurassic Express, and that Six Man Tag is going to be a great part of Rampage Grand Slam. The promo response from Christian and Jungle Boy was pretty good, but boy Christian took some shots at WWE and NXT. Pretty sure Super Kliq is the one winning that match. MJF had another great Heel promo, and BPJ had another great moment in running him and Wardlow off. He also had a very good interview promo with JR, though I feel like he could’ve just said that live for the crowd right there. But I can’t be too harsh on AEW, they made sure to arrange matching content, like Spears’ promo before his match with Darby.
Pinnacle overall broke even tonight. Spears VS Allin was a great match but Pinnacle got to stand tall with FTR coming back to attack and set up a tag match for next week. FTR in their own match of course won against Sydal and Dante teaming up while their usual tag partners are out of action. Meanwhile, I am actually really happy to see that after shifting Archer away from Lambert, Jericho and Hager are going after him now. Lambert continues to make me groan with his use of being toxic old fan in this reverse psychology role, but Jericho & Hager taking on Ethan Page & Scorpio Sky is going to be a lot of fun.
Gunn Club’s explanation for their Heel Turn is actually pretty logical, because they really should be up higher in the ranks when they’re undefeated in tag team and trios matches. By AEW’s own rules, these guys should’ve been in the tag title stories way sooner, but they ironically still might have to wait a bit. Andrade had a good promo to better frame his reason for ditching Chavo, and then it also implies a rematch of him and Pac that’ll be even bigger. Cargill VS Hirsch was very good but I was still hoping for a bit more. I can’t be sure who gives Cargill her first loss, but it’s probably someone closer to the women’s title.
There was good progress in the Dark Order dysfunction, and I do think the ladies should take charge and become the new leaders of the group with Uno’s ego being in question. They replayed Bryan’s promo from Rampage to set up his segment here tonight, and it was a great segment because of how heated he got with Callis and Omega. Omega VS Bryan in even just a non-title match is amazing, and it could go either way. On one hand, Bryan could win and basically earn himself a title match that way. On the other, Callis can find a way to cheat Bryan, but perhaps that upsets Omega and things get tense within The Elite for just a moment.
Moxley & Kingston had a great main event with 2point0 and Garcia, and of course Moxley & Kingston win to head for the match with Suzuki-Gun. That brawl was an awesome way to close out the night, and I can’t wait to see how brutal Moxley, Kingston, Archer and Suzuki can get, even in a standard tag match.
My Score: 9.1/10

Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?

BREAKING NEWS for April!
Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips.

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall
A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?
My Thoughts:
A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.
Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.
And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.
My Score: 8.8/10

He has the mic to tell Omaha, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that claim given Caster is 0-5 at his own challenge. But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man.

The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges.

Well, now it’s 0-6. Will Caster ever realize he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?

Winner: Julia Hart, by pinfall
The tiebreaker goes to Julia, and Aminata is stunned! If the Hart Always Wins, will she make her way back to a championship? Will Aminata decide to take Deeb up on her teachings now?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match. So I don’t really see the point of us discussing the romantic capabilities of a beast, y’know?”
Lexy says yeah, but uh, isn’t “Harley-gram” just Harley? NO, FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs off, but will Harley be able to focus on her match with Mortos around? Will Mortos be able to focus on his match with Harley around?
Six Man Tag: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero VS The Don Callis Family!
While the Book of Hobbs is stuck on a chapter involving the Don Callis Family, he has decided to conglomerate with the Sussex County Chicken & Azucar! Will Briscoe & Rocky help Hobbs get through the “writer’s block?” Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer make sure #EverybodyDies?
The trios sort out and Briscoe starts against Konosuke. Don Callis is on commentary and Schiavone is sure he is not in a good mood over his guy, Mark Davis, missing out on the International Championship. Callis focuses instead on the Six Man Tag, and his “three physical freaks” of the Callis Family. Briscoe and Konosuke tie up, Briscoe headlocks, and Omaha rallies for #DemBoys. Konosuke powers up and out, Briscoe RAMS him, but Konosuke comes back to run Briscoe over! Things keep moving, Konosuke bypasses Briscoe but Briscoe slides under. Briscoe springs up to hit the crane stance! Callis says that is disrespectful!
Konosuke blocks the crane kick, spins Briscoe around, and back suplexes, only for Briscoe to land out. Konosuke kicks low, whips Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe goes up and out. Briscoe eggs Konosuke on, then counters the punch with a REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUT! Briscoe climbs, aims, and leaps, but Konosuke BODY BLOWS the ax handle down! The fans boo but Konosuke stands Briscoe up. Konosuke whips Briscoe to the Callis corner, but Briscoe BOOTS Archer down! The fans fire up but Cage grabs Briscoe. Konosuke runs up, but Briscoe slips free, so Konosuke DECKS Cage! The fans fire up and Briscoe kicks low.
Briscoe whips, Konosuke reverses, Hobbs sneaks the tag. Briscoe DIVES onto Cage! Archer BOOTS Briscoe, but Rocky FLYING KNEES Archer! Hobbs runs in to CLOBBER Konosuke! And CLOBBERS him again! The fans fire up and Hobbs smirks. Hobbs stands Konosuke up to scoop him, and then he tags in Rocky. Rocky climbs, Hobbs POWERSLAMS Konosuke down for Rocky to DIVING DOUBLE STOMP! Konosuke sputters while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky runs to DIVE, but Cage catches him! And hands him off to Konosuke! APRON POWERBOMB! Cage CLOBBERS Briscoe, Archer whips Hobbs into railing!
The fans boo, the Callis Family soaks up that heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.
The ring count starts, Archer talks smack tot he camera that we can’t hear, but Konosuke puts Rocky in the ring. Cover, TWO! Rocky survives but Konosuke drags him up. Konosuke bumps Rocky off buckles, tags Cage, and they stomp away. The ref counts, Konosuke stops but Cage digs his boots in. The ref counts more, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stands Rocky up. Cage CHOPS Rocky, tags Archer, and Archer drags Rocky up. Archer bumps Rocky off buckles, then fires forearm after forearm! Archer runs corner to corner and back again to ELBOW Rocky! Archer takes a page out of Rocky’s book, TWO-EVER ELBOW!
Archer keeps it going, THREE-EVER! Archer lets Rocky flop down, nothing lasts forever. Tag to Konosuke, and he stands between Rocky and his corner. Konosuke DECKS Rocky, then stalks him to ropes. Konosuke CHOKES Rocky, the ref counts, and Konosuke lets go of the ropes. The ref says that’s not the problem, he has to step off of Rocky! Konosuke does step off, then he brings Rocky up to whip to ropes. Konosuke ELBOWS Rocky down, covers, TWO! Rocky stays in this but Konosuke tags Cage. They mug Rocky, then Cage brings Rocky around to scoop and SLAM! Cage runs to drop a leg, brother! Cover, TWO!
Cage hauls Rocky up to TOSS him out! Cage taunts Briscoe, but this lets Archer and Callis to get their shots in! Callis grins, Briscoe & Hobbs protest, but nothing can be done now. Callis high-fives Archer and Cage puts Rocky back in. Cage tags Archer, Archer storms up on Rocky, and Archer puts him in a corner. Archer runs corner to corner, but Rocky dodges! Archer hits buckles, staggers around, and he tags to Konosuke. Konosuke drops an ELBOW on Rocky! Konosuke looms over Rocky, CLUBS him, and then brings him around. Konosuke whips Rocky hard into buckles and Rocky falls to the mat. Konosuke looms as Slam Dunk Saturday returns to single picture.
Konosuke taunts Rocky, the fans rally up, and Konosuke slaps Rocky around. Rocky rises to fire a forearm! Konosuke just shakes his head. Rocky fires another forearm, and another, but Konosuke SMACKS Rocky! Rocky roars and fires a flurry! The fans fire up but Konosuke fires boxing elbows! Then a ROLLING- UPPERCUT from Rocky! The fans fire up as both men wobble! Rocky dodges a lariat, goes up the ropes, FLYING TORNADO DDT! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Rocky and Konosuke crawl as Callis admits, that was a great sequence. Hot tag to Briscoe! The fans fire up as Briscoe rallies with forearms and CHOPS!
Cage ducks a shot to waistlock, but Briscoe BOOTS Konosuke down! Briscoe then breaks free to PELE Cage! The fans fire up with Briscoe, but Konosuke kicks low.

The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage dodges, but runs into a POWERSLAM! Archer runs up to RAM Hobbs! Hobbs rebounds to LARIAT Archer! The fans fire up and Hobbs LARIATS in a corner! Then LARIAT for Cage! Then back for Archer! Back to Cage! The straps come down and Omaha is really hot! But Konosuke winds up! Hobbs dodges the elbow to SPINEBUSTER! But Cage runs up, DOUBLE LARIATS hit!
The DOUBLE LARIATS continue to collide but neither man falls! “MEAT!” echoes out with every shot! Cage BOOTS the lariat away, mule kicks then KICKS! But Hobbs swings! Cage gest around to GERMAN SUPLEX! Rocky tags in and goes up, CROSSBODY, but Cage catches him! Cage pops Rocky up, Rocky slips free and ENZIGIRIS! Cage staggers, into a SPINEBUSTER! Konosuke DECKS Rocky! And he KICKS Hobbs to then ROCK Hobbs! And then BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Briscoe and Konosuke fire forearms back and forth, then Briscoe fires a flurry! Briscoe runs, into a BOOT! Konosuke runs, into an EXPLODER!
Archer runs in, Briscoe dodges the boot, but Archer breaks the clothesline to CLOBBER Briscoe! Rocky runs in, tilt-o-whirls, but into the BLACK- NO!! Rocky slips free to have the SLEEPER! Archer THROWS Rocky down! And then runs in, only for Rocky to dodge! Rocky dropkicks the legs out, then kicks. Archer blocks, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Roll up, TWO! Archer is up, Rocky dodges to springboard, but into a HAYMAKER! Archer hauls Rocky up, Cage is there, MURDER BOMB!! DISCUS LARIAT for Briscoe! Tag to Konosuke, he hauls Rocky up, RAGING FIRE!! Cover, Don Callis Family wins!
Winners: The Don Callis family, by pinfall
Omaha was served up some meat and chicken with sugar on top, but the Don Callis Family ate it all! Will this win help Konosuke head back for a title opportunity in time for Dynasty? Will Hobbs at least be allowed to move on from the Don Callis Family?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here for just the first half of the Slam Dunk Weekend, as recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. I kinda like Collision being just one hour, but obviously they’ll go back to two hours on one night next week. Opening with the TNT Championship was quite the surprise, but that did help it go the full 20 minutes, which was a particularly clever move here. Garcia keeps the title but Cole was very close, so maybe we get a third match where they extend or completely do away with the time limit to get a definitive winner. And at that point, I would think Adam Cole wins to finally have a singles title in AEW.
Good stuff in Caster again losing his own Open Challenge. Good win for Hook as it’s been a minute since he’s had a singles match. With Caster harping on Bowens being absent, this really needs to culminate with Bowens answering the challenge, winning that first time, but then Caster wanting a rematch. Then that match will be awesome stuff, but still ultimately won by Bowens to get it in Caster’s head that he can’t just say he’s the Best Wrestler Alive and put it on a piece of paper. Then we can see Caster take his character in another direction, maybe do some soul searching. Or more likely, just double down and be even more insufferable.
Very good match for Hart VS Aminata 3, hard to say if it was that much better than the previous, but Hart winning makes sense with Aminata VS Deeb still needing to happen. A shame the Aminata-Deeb feud had to build in the background of the Aminata-Hart feud, but it’s not like they could do more on a week to week basis. Unless… Well, snark aside, Aminata will surely take Deeb up on at least that Pure Rules match for a first-time-ever in the Women’s Division, and I would love for a Women’s Pure Championship to be created in time for Supercard of Honor. It actually works out that Supercard had to be pushed back to avoid clashing with WrestleMania, because the pacing of the Women’s Division definitely can/will go all the way to May.
Very good promo from Harley to not just hype up Slam Dunk Sunday, but to also poke fun at how she is so obviously Harley-gram, and that there is some, uh, animal magnetism between her and Mortos. And Schiavone said that Komander & Hologram VS Mortos & Dralistico will be the main event, so you can bet there will be shenanigans involving Mortos and Harley/Harley-gram.
My Score: 8.8/10
