PLAY BY PLAY

Dustin Rhodes VS Malakai Black!

Naturally, the Natural wants revenge for what happened to his brother, Cody, as well as Arn Anderson, Brock Anderson and Lee Johnson. However, when seeking revenge, you dig two graves: one for your enemy, and one for yourself. Will one or both of those proverbial graves be filled tonight? Or will Malakai simply give Dustin two coins to pay the toll at the River Styx?

The bell rings and these two fire off! Malakai knees low, boots but Dustin comes back to rally with clotheslines! Atomic drop and a running kick knocks Malakai down, but he ROUNDHOUSES Dustin back! Dustin comes back to ROCK Malakai with an uppercut, then he CLAWS Malakai’s back! Dustin keeps Malakai caught in the corner and he fires off body shot after body shot. Malakai resists but Dustin still GERMAN SUPLEXES him out of the corner! Dustin drops an elbow, paces around, then drags Malakai up to throw him out. Dustin goes out after Malakai to ROCK him with another uppercut! The ref wants this back in the ring but Malakai goes to the timekeeper’s area.

Dustin stalks Malakai and reels him in, but Malakai shoves free to BOOT Dustin! BACK SUPLEX through the timekeeper’s table! Fans are fired up and losing their minds as Makalai paces about. Malakai goes back to the ring to leave Dustin behind, and while the ref checks on Dustin, Malakai exposes a buckle! Malakai goes after Dustin again with kicks then brings him around to KICK into the ring. Malakai throws hands, fans rally and duel as Dustin ends up in a corner. Malakai throws uppercuts, Dustin hits back with haymakers! Malakai knees low, whips but Dustin reverses. Malakai stops himself, sends Dustin into buckles but Dustin elbows him away.

Dustin runs but into a kitchen sink knee! Cover, TWO! Dustin gets to ropes but Malakai drags him away with a chinlock. Malakai grinds Dustin down but fans rally up. Dustin fights to his feet, throws body shots but Malakai drops to get a leg for a KNEEBAR! Dustin endures as Malakai also has a HEEL HOOK in it! Dustin reaches, fans fire up and Dustin gets the ropebreak! Malakai holds on, lets go as the ref counts 4, then stomps away on the legs. Malakai KICKS Dustin’s leg, Dustin hobbles but Malakai keeps after him. Dustin hits back with uppercuts but Malakai KICKS his leg out! Fans rally and duel as hard as ever, cover, TWO!

Malakai gets a leg but Dustin kicks him away. Malakai kicks Dustin to a corner, whips him corner to corner but the leg gives out! Fans boo but Malakai grins as he stalks over to Dustin. “Are you not entertained?” Fans are mixed again as Malakai toys with Dustin. Malakai kicks Dustin around but Dustin fires up! Dustin uppercuts, Malakai kicks the leg! Dustin blocks the next kick to shove and clothesline! Dustin rallies up again, kicks low and hits the Rhodes Uppercut! Malakai is against ropes, Dustin falls for a feint, but then Dustin dodges the Penalty Kick to get the POWERSLAM after all! Cover, TWO! Malakai is showing his toughness but Dustin fires the fans up.

Dustin gets Malakai up, reels him in and calls for the end, but his leg bothers him! Malakai back drops, Dustin sunset flips! TWO, and Dustin ROCKS Malakai with another uppercut! Malakai is in the corner, Dustin climbs up and rains down fists! Malakai slips out at 7 to KICK Dustin’s leg out! Malakai aims from a corner, RUNNING KNEE! Cover, TWO!! Dustin survives and infuriates Malakai! Malakai snarls as he goes out and looks under the ring. He brings out Cody Rhodes’ boot! The boot Cody took off and Malakai took away! Malakai throws it to Dustin and dares him to avenge his brother. Dustin picks up the boot, glares at Malakai, but doesn’t use it as he kicks Malakai low!

Malakai kicks back, Dustin kicks again, hits the Rhodes Uppercut again, and then whips Malakai to a corner. Malakai reverses but runs into another kick! DESTROYER from Dustin!! Cover, TWO!! Malakai survives again and Dustin can’t believe it! Fans tell Dustin, “You Still Got It!” but he has to end it! Dustin reels Malakai in, suplexes, but Malakai slips out and gets away. Dustin runs in and fires off more haymakers! Dustin headlocks but Malakai slips out of the bulldog! Dustin runs back in, Malakai sweeps the legs and Dustin hits the bare buckle with his head! BLACK MASS!! Cover, Malakai wins!

Winner: Malakai Black, by pinfall

Dustin kept true to his morals, but so did Malakai. It’s just that Malakai has immorals! Dustin is bleeding from the mouth and a glassy look in the eyes, has the Nightmare Family fallen?

 

The Lucha Brothers speak.

Rey Fenix says, “Finally! The best tag team in the universe are the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions!” Penta says in Spanish and Alex Abrahantes translates, “These championships cost us blood, sweat and tears. Anyone out there willing to suffer is welcome to try and take these from us.” Will any team in AEW find the courage to take on #CeroMiedo?

 

AEW hears from both Eddie Kingston and Miro.

“All Out. Biggest pay-per-view in history. Not just for AEW, but for all of professional wrestling. Me and you, Miro, we kicked it off, we started it off, and we went at it like two men are supposed to go at it. But then you go and use a low blow.” Anyone who knows anything about God knows that he has no favorites. That when it rains, it pours on the just and the unjust all the same. But the AEW TNT Champion recounts how Kingston said they’d walk through hell. Kingston can’t hurt a man as hot as Miro. Miro had to ice off his balls, too, Kingston. But he will offer Kingston’s broken bones to his bride and his soul to God. “This is the word of the Redeemer.” Are things far from done between the Mad King and the Best Man?

 

CM Punk is here!

The Best in the World was victorious in his return to action, and though this isn’t Chicago, Cincinnati is just as fired up to see him. And Punk is fired up to see Cincinnati! “We’re gonna get right to it, I’m gonna step all over your chanting. I wanna thank Darby Allin, and I wanna thank Sting, and I wanna thank all of you.” Punk comes out and won’t lie, he didn’t know if he had what it takes. But it’s like riding a violent bicycle! He’s back on the bike and wants to get in this ring again. Fans chant, “You Still Got It!” and he thanks them.

But guess what else we got? Karl Gotch trained Minoru Suzuki is in one hell of a main event that Punk as a wrestling fan will watch, “a local Cincinnati Maniac,” Jon Moxley take Suzuki on! And Punk also wants to say that Linda, who raised young Brian Pillman, is legitimately an angel. Fans cheer for Linda and Linda thanks them all for that. Punk says they’re “all about giving people their flowers here,” and notes that he saw Dark Side of the Ring and wants her and everyone to know that she is an angel and that we all appreciate her. Now who saw the PPV?! Fans all here cheer that. “Ruby Soho!” Fans of course cheer. “Adam Cole.” BAYBAY! “Bryan Danielson.” Fans all cheer “YES! YES! YES!”

Punk says the first person he texted as soon as he was out of the ring was his wife, April, and she said, “Baby, what’s next?” And Punk said, “I dunno.” Maybe Punk will leave it up to the fans. What is next for Punk? Fans seem to chant any number of names, but it sounds mostly like Moxley or Brian Pillman. But then Taz speaks up from commentary? Taz wants Punk to hear him out but fans boo. Punk says out of respect, they should let Taz speak. But also, don’t ever interrupt again! Taz says he is trying to be a gentleman, but Punk wants to be a tough guy so here’s the tough version. Taz has known Punk a real long time, and is tired of the BS love fest Punk’s putting on!

So while Punk was impressive in his one match with Darby, Taz wants to tell him this: “Don’t you ever mention out of your mouth any members of Team Taz that you wanna face. Don’t you ever do that.” Nobody was going on about Team Taz. Punk was just asking who fans wanted to see Punk face and the fans were saying Moxley and Pillman. But speaking of Team Taz, here comes Will Hobbs and Hook. Taz says Punk mentioned Team Taz on social media, interviews, radio spots, cuz Punk’s ass is everywhere right now! But don’t do it, Punk.

Punk laughs a bit and says since they have known each other and respects him, “Send Starks! Send Hook! Send me HOBBS!” And check it, all FOUR of them, “beat me if you can! Survive if I let you!” Punk just used Taz’s words against him, but will he have to watch out for the moment Team Taz takes him up on those words?

 

Santana and Ortiz speak.

Santana starts, “FTR, for the last few months, we sparked a new beginning within Santana and Ortiz. And after we beat them last week, now we’ve shifted our focus to the rest of this division. We climbing those ranks, we coming for that top spot, because everybody knows where we belong.” Ortiz says THEY’RE the best! So prove them wrong, boys!

 

Backstage interview with Ruby Soho.

Tony Schiavone says Soho won as the Joker in the Women’s Casino Battle Royal and has her title shot. Ruby gave an open challenge heading into tonight, and Britt Baker’s new pal, Jamie Hayter, accepted. Ruby says that she issued the challenge to make us see she didn’t just get lucky on Sunday. But Britt barges in with, “I would like to know why we’re wasting valuable TV time on the flavor of the week.” Britt says Ruby will become completely irrelevant after Hayter beats her tonight and after Britt retains her women’s world title.

Ruby says “Hello, Brittney. Nice to see you.” Ruby says these two have known each other a long time, because Ruby helped Britt break into the business. Which means Ruby knows what Britt is doing. Britt has given herself so many nicknames, from Role Model to Face of the Women’s Division to Ruby’s personal fav, “Baddest bitch on the block.” Britt says all this so that we don’t see what she’s not. Ruby says this is HER block now. Oh, well, what about the most epic nickname, AEW Women’s World Champion? And let’s talk about Ruby’s nickname, “Runaway.” Maybe Ruby should run away to catering where she’s been the last four years of her life!

Ruby gets heated but Hayter steps in. The match is coming, Britt has to rest from her title match. But Hayter will serve up plenty of whoop-ass, courtesy of Britt Baker, DMD. Team Doctor leaves and Ruby tells Schiavone that Britt may be his girl, but Ruby’s gonna whoop that girl’s ass. Will the Runaway run away with that title the first chance she gets?

 

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Dante Martin!

There’s beef between Taz and Punk now, but #TownBidness has to focus on Angel Dorado. Will strength or speed win out here in Cincinnati? We find out, after the break.

AEW returns to the ring and Dante Martin makes his entrance. Dante slides into the ring, but Hobbs gets him right away with a waistlock! The bell rings and Hobbs hits a back suplex! Dante lands on his feet but Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs looms over Dante, drags him up with two hands and whips but Dante kicks and fires off forearms! Dante dodges, springboards, but Hobbs catches him! Dante slips out, shoves, but then ducks and dodges again to then jump up and over and shotgun dropkick Hobbs out! Fans fire up with Dante and he builds speed to DIVE! But Hobbs catches Dante and TOSSES him into the post! Hobbs snarls as the ref reprimands him.

Hobbs tells fans to shut up about Punk, then he drags Dante up to dig his face into the post! The ref counts, Hobbs lets off and talks more trash as he whips Dante into the railing! Dante falls and grits his teeth but Hobbs slaps him around. Hobbs mocks the CM Punk chants, then drags Dante up to whip him into railing again! Hobbs refreshes the count as AEW goes picture in picture.

Hobbs hauls Dante up again, TOSSES him into the ring through the ropes, then takes his time returning. Hobbs KICKS Dante in the side, smirks, but Dante throws body shots! Hobbs CLUBS Dante down and clamps on a chinlock for crossface forearms! Hobbs grins as he clobbers Dante again, then pushes him around. Dante gets up but Hobbs dead lift suplexes him! And stalls for 5 before he SLAMS Dante down! Hook cheers but fans don’t seem as supportive. Hobbs suplexes to SLAM Dante down again, then he drags Dante to a corner. Hobbs chokes Dante on the ropes but lets off as the ref counts. Dante sputters while Hobbs snarls and scowls.

Hobbs pushes Dante around, brings him up, and throws him down by his hair! Hobbs looms over Dante, hauls him up and reels him into a bearhug! Dante endures but Hobbs thrashes him around! AEW returns to single picture, Cincy rallies for Dante but Hobbs SLAMS him down! Hobbs chuckles before he drops a knee on Dante’s gut! Then into the ribs! Hobbs gets annoyed that fans cheer for Dante but Hobbs has some supporters. Hobbs drops his kneepad to then drop a knee right into Dante’s gut! Hobbs even pulls Dante into the knee by clinching his head. Dante endures so Hobbs hammers away with big fists!

Hobbs lets off just to soak up the heat, and then he mockingly says, “It’s clobbering time!” Hobbs CLUBS Dante, gets space, but Dante dodges the knee drop! Hobbs winces, Dante gets up and kicks and then basement tiger feints! Hobbs hobbles, Dante gets up in a corner and goes up top. Dante leaps for a BIG missile dropkick! Then a BIG senton! Cover, TWO! Dante’s hangtime didn’t keep Hobbs down but Dante keeps moving. BOOT against the ropes and Hobbs falls out of the ring! Dante builds speed but Hook blocks the way! Fans boo but Dante just sighs. And then goes again to FLY over Hook to wipe out Hobbs!

Fans fire up with Dante as he gets Hobbs up. Dante manages to get Hobbs into the ring despite the size difference, then he goes to the apron. Dante aims, ENZIGURI and Hobbs wobbles! Hobbs stands, Dante GAMANGIRIS! Dante slingshots and goes around to dodge Hobbs, then CALF KICK! Dante keeps moving, forearm smash! Dante goes corner to corner, but into a HUGE SPINEBUSTER!! Cover, Hobbs wins!

Winner: Will Hobbs, by pinfall

The Powerhouse didn’t even need to use Town Bidness, that spinebuster from the mountaintop was enough! Will Hobbs be using that same power to crush everyone on his way to the top, and CM Punk?

 

Dan Lambert and the Men of the Year are here!

But up in the nosebleeds again. Lambert sarcastically says, “Well congratulations to AEW on bringing in CM Punk. And Bryan Danielson and Ruby Soho and Adam Cole and every other skinny little dork that’s 5’9″ or shorter that Tony Conman can use to deflect the spotlight away from the truth. But that truth is a persistent little fellow. No matter how hard you try to cover it up, no matter what depths you will go to keep it buried, no matter how easy it is you think it is to hide it from these mindless Millennials that make up this fanbase, it will always be there to show its face.” Fans chant STFU at Lambert as he continues with his rant.

“You may think this company is the hottest thing going in the world of professional wrestling. And you may think that you can keep playing these idiots like a fiddle. Hell, you may even trick most of them into looking up the lyrics to one of the worst songs in the history of the world and watch as they sing it to the heavens.” Ethan Page laughs while Scorpio Sky pretends to dry heave. “But you will never be able to hide the truth for long. This company has two real men wrestling for it, and you’re looking at them right now!” Yes, he means Ethan & Scorpio. But together, they will scream the truth with the voices of a thousand.

So if any tough guys can shut them up, Lambert invites them to do so rather than later before the truth burns AEW to the ground and we don’t need to hear the chant of “A E Dub.” The gauntlet has been cast, who will pick it up to drink the tears of Lambert and his “real men,” All Ego & The Closer?

 

AEW hears from Matt Hardy and Orange Cassidy.

Big Money Matt says, “Orange Cassidy, you think you’re so cool when you run your fingers through your hair. I am going to take your hair! I am going to shave your head!” Chuck Taylor whispers something to Cassidy and Cassidy says, “Matt Hardy said he wants to cut my hair. Whatever.” Wait, are we going to have a Hair VS Hair match in AEW? Will Hardy put his money where his mouth is? Or will he go bald trying?

 

MJF and Wardlow are here!

Maxwell Jacob Friedman has a mic and he scowls as he goes to the ring. He has the music cut early as fans chant at him, “You Tapped Out!” MJF explains to the “potbelly pigs” that prior to Sunday, he beat “that stumbling shmuck, Chris Jericho, three times!” That is true, but then MJF says he won a fourth time, clean and smack dab in the middle of the ring! Well… “But after the bell was rung and my music was hit, my match was restarted due to extreme bias against me.” And there IS bias against MJF because everyone in the back wants to BE MJF. But he wouldn’t expect a bunch of people to understand what he’s saying, since they’re all from “Shitsinnati.”

Now obviously these fans are gonna get on Twitter and type in all caps that “OMG MJF THAT’S NOT FAIR!” Let him make this clear to the marks: MJF means every word he says when he says Cincinnati, Ohio “is the biggest dumpster fire in the world!” Fans boo harder but MJF says this is the Midwest because everything in here is “mid.” (So not great, for one) Skyline Chili, #MID! The Cincinnati Reds, who haven’t won a World Series since 1990, #MID! And every single person who lives here? #MID! Oh, got a problem with MJF now, Cincy? How about they do something? Like jump the guardrail like he can beat the crap out of everyone in here! Oh wait, they won’t, they’re all cowards.

And look what’s right up front! Ms. Linda, don’t you make eye contract, he’ll knock her teeth out! And that also goes for lil’ miss 16 & Pregnant right next to her! Let’s see, is Daddy the father of that child? Oh, sorry, Roseanne, you got something to say? Should MJF get closer? Sure, why not! What you got, Preggo? She tells MJF that she is daughter of Cincinnati’s own, “The Loose Cannon,” Brian Pillman! Fans fire up for that one! MJF says, “Well, that certainly would explain your vile looks, so…” But here comes her brother, Brian Pillman JUNIOR! Bulletproof is fired up for being home, too, but he’s also heading to the ring.

“Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Or should I say, Maxwell Jerkoff Friedman?” MJF doesn’t like that nickname but BPJ hears him talking trash about his hometown AND his family. Now, Max, we all know your good silver spoon upbringing. And MJF thinks where he’s from is the best place on earth. But BPJ says where he is from “is a place that breeds badasses!” Badasses like Brian Pillman Sr! Like Jon Moxley! MJF, you may be from luxurious Long Island, but BPJ is from the streets of Cincy, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE! Fans are fired up for BPJ but MJF says, “Let me get this straight, Junior.” He thought it was a good idea to step to the mic with MJF? Yeah, real smart.

A real shame that BPJ’s mom, #Methanie- NOW BPJ rushes the ring! Wardlow stands guard but MJF says he meant to say Melanie. But it is a shame she couldn’t have birthed just about 500 other different second generation wrestlers, but unfortunately for MJF, she forgot to do to BPJ what she did to all the other prospects and swallow. Wardlow, sorry, but are you trying to help MJF like he did Sunday? Uh oh. MJF wants Wardlow to do him a solid and just stand in the corner and look pretty. MJF tells BPJ that if BPJ doesn’t get out of here right now, MJF will do to BPJ what Mama Pillman should’ve done to him 28 years ago and AB-

BPJ TACKLES MJF! And because Wardlow was told to stand aside, he lets it happen! BPJ fires off fists, but then Wardlow drags BPJ off to stop it before it gets too much. But then BPJ jukes him to stomp a mudhole into MJF! Wardlow waistlocks for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans boo but here comes Griff Garrison! But Wardlow CLOBBERS the Ivy League MVP, then feeds him to MJF’s Dynamite Diamond Ring PUNCH! Fans boo as the Varsity Blonds are down. MJF sits Griff up and aims that pinkie ring again. But BPJ jumps in to shield his friend and tag partner. Fans taunt MJF with, “You Tapped Out!” so MJF and Wardlow leave it at this. Is this far from done between the Salt of the Earth and Bulletproof Brian Pillman Jr?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

“Minoru Suzuki. The most violent and sadistic wrestler in the history of Japan. The king of pro-wrestling, the King of Pancrase.” Maybe it’s just Moxley and where he’s from, but he never found Suzuki all that scary. Tonight, welcome to the jungle. “You gonna die~!”

 

Ruby Soho VS Jamie Hayter w/ Britt Baker & Rebel!

Things got personal backstage, but the Runaway will try to keep it business in the ring. Will Ruby run through the professional Hayter to get at her next destination?

The bell rings and Hayter tells fans to stop cheering for Ruby. Fans don’t care, they keep chanting for Ruby as she and Hayter circle. They tie up, Hayter shoves Ruby away but Ruby shrugs it off. They go again, Hayter puts Ruby in a corner, but the ref counts. Hayter lets off with a smack to Ruby’s cheek, but she smirks and goes right at Hayter. Ruby waistlocks, Hayter pries free to get a headlock, but Ruby throws body shots. Ruby powers out, Hayter runs her over! Things speed up, Ruby goes to hip toss but Hayter blocks. Hayter throws a body shot then goes to hip toss but Ruby blocks that to get the cording hold! Hayter goes to throw hands but Ruby cranks the arm!

Ruby throws forearms while Hayter is trapped, but Hayter pulls hair and whips free. Ruby rolls, comes back to block a kick and then KNEES Hayter back. Hayter ends up on ropes, Ruby runs in, but into a FLAPJACK HOTSHOT! Hayter throws Ruby hard into the bottom rope and Ruby sputters and gasps. Hayter KICKS Ruby then kicks her out of the ring as AEW goes picture in picture.

Hayter stalks after Ruby on the outside with Britt talking her up. Hayter gets Ruby up and brings her around the way to RAM into railing! Ruby grits her teeth and Britt talks trash while Hayter kicks and swipes at rowdy fans. Britt brings over a fan’s Ruby Soho sign, and Hayter takes it to rip it up! The ref has Britt and Rebel back off and Ruby throws hands on Hayter! Hayter CLUBS Ruby, gets her up and APRON BACK SUPLEXES! Hayter then makes sure the fan sees the torn pieces of their sign before soak up the heat. Hayter stalks Ruby and kicks her down, but Ruby throws body shots. Hayter CLUBS Ruby, Ruby throws body shots again then stomps a foot!

Ruby runs but into a SPINEBUSTER! Hayter rains down furious forearms then covers, TWO! Hayter argues the count but the ref says it was fair. Ruby gest to a corner, Hayter digs her boot in but lets off as the ref counts. Ruby sputters, Hayter argues with the ref again, then Hayter CLUBS Ruby again. Hayter bumps Ruby off buckles, then does it again but harder! And then again but harder still, having hit all three levels in the same corner. Hayter soaks up the heat and even eggs it on, and Britt gets a cheap shot in! Britt gets away with that before Hayter stomps a mudhole. AEW returns to single picture as Hayter whips Ruby corner to corner.

Hayter runs in but Ruby elbows her! Ruby goes up and hits DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! Fans fire up, Ruby goes side to side and YAKUZA KICKS Hayter in the back! Then the other way for another YAKUZA KICK! Then a third YAKUZA KICK! Fans fire up as Hayter staggers, but Hayter blocks the running Code Breaker! Hayter has Ruby rebound off ropes, only for Ruby to make that a TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Hayter survives and Britt is relieved but Ruby grits her teeth. Ruby drags Hayter around, wrenches but Hayter clubs free! Hayter holds off the saido with clubbing elbows, then Electric Chair lifts Ruby! Ruby fights that, leans back and POISON-RANA ADJACENT! Cover, TWO!

Ruby gets Hayter up to throw haymakers but Hayter cravats for a NECKBREAKER! Hayter gets Ruby up, fireman’s carries, and USHIGOROSHI! Then Hayter runs to SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO!! Ruby survives and frustrates Team Doctor! Hayter fires up, runs but Ruby wrenches to the RIOTT KICK!! Cover, Ruby wins!

Winner: Ruby Soho, by pinfall

That destination came outta nowhere but now here comes Britt! She CLOBBERS Ruby, and Rebel just laughs and shouts at Ruby as Britt gets her up, FISHERMAN SCREW! But here comes RIHO! Riho DECKS Rebel, ROCKS Britt, but Hayter hits a BACKBREAKER! Hayter drags Ruby over to line her up, but here comes KRIS STATLANDER! And Statlander has a CHAIR! The Galaxy’s Greatest Alien runs off Britt, Rebel and Hayter, but will Britt have to worry about all her enemies coming for her soon enough?

 

AEW hears from Brian Cage and Ricky Starks.

“Ricky, Ricky, Ricky. Aren’t you sick and tired of this?” Yes, Starks IS sick and tired of this, Cage. Last week, knocking him in the head, Starks thought Cage finally got some common sense. But Cage says to cut the crap. One on one, mano a mano, they’re settling this! And that is when The Machine will learn why they call Ricky #Absolute! But will the FTW Championship be back on the line with this grudge match?

 

Six Man Tag: The Pinnacle w/ Tully Blanchard VS The Dark Order!

Shawn Spears and FTR are united, and even have Wardlow with them now. Meanwhile, Evil Uno just faced Alan Angels on Dark and may have only made the dysfunction in the group grow. Anna Jay put them all on notice, can Uno, Stu and Johnny Hungy make it work to face a team no one likes?

The trios sort out and Silver starts with the Chairman, only for Stu to tag right in. Stu and Spears circle but then Silver tags back in! Spears chuckles as he and Silver circle now, and they tie up. Spears headlocks, Silver powers out but Spears runs him over. Spears flexes then shows off the dancing pecs. Silver scoops and SLAMS Spears! Things speed up, Silver runs Spears over and then flexes! Fans fire up, Silver brings Spears over, but he hesitates to even reach out to Uno. Silver tags Stu, they mug Spears, then Stu wrenches. Spears throws a haymaker then tags Cash Wheeler. Pinnacle mugs Stu, Cash CLOBBERS Stu with a clothesline!

Cash tags Spears back in, they mug Stu more, and then Spears back suplexes. Stu lands on his feet to dodge then PELE! Stu tags Uno, Uno gets Spears up, Stu springboards, ELBOSW DROP SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! FTR was ready but they stand down. Uno whips Spears into a corner, then holds out a hand. Silver is again reluctant but he tags in. Uno whips Spears into the corner, Silver and Stu DOUBLE KICK Spears down! Silver feeds Spears to Uno’s BOOT, and maybe the Dark Order is fine. Cover, TWO! Silver keeps on Spears with a facelock but Spears jawbreakers free! Tag to Dax Harwood and he CHOPS Silver against ropes then throws uppercuts!

Dax snapmares, drops leg, elbow and headbutt! Cover, TWO! Cover again, TWO! Another cover, TWO! Dax flips Uno off so Uno gets in, but the ref keeps Uno back. Cash gets a cheap shot on Silver, then Dax eggs fans on. Dax drags Silver up, puts him in the corner but Silver fights out of the corner! Dax kicks low, reels Silver in, but Silver snap suplexes first! Fans fire up and Silver crawls, but The Pinnacle takes out the Dark Order! Spears grins as he flips Silver off. Silver still fights the Pinnacle with big shots! Silver KICKS away on Dax, then runs to BOOT Dax in the back, to a GERMAN! Bridging cover, TWO!!

Silver looks around, Spears talks smack but runs away. Dax whips Silver then drops down, sending Silver into Uno! Dax gets Silver up, SLINGSHOT SUPLEX! The Dark Order tries to sort things out as Dax tags Cash and Cash tags Spears. BIG RIG into the C4!! Cover, The Pinnacle wins!

Winners: The Pinnacle, by pinfall

Number 4 got hit with Spears’ powerful Death Valley, and now the Dark Order is left wallowing in their own frustrations! Uno drags Silver up and gets in his face about the collision! Everyone understands what happens except Uno and that pisses Silver off. Silver SHOVES Uno down, Stu CLOBBERS Silver! Angels SPEARS Stu! Vance and Cabana try to stop this from happening but they also start shoving each other! It seems the line has been drawn between the boys, but here come the ladies! Anna Jay & Tay Conti cannot believe this is happening, and Stu tries to apologize. Conti keeps Jay from stepping close, is Dark Order (not) fine?

 

AEW recaps the Women’s Casino Battle Royal.

Speaking of Anna Jay & Tay Conti, they note their “deeper issues” with The Bunny & Penelope Ford. But Bunny Allie is the one calling Jay & Tay the psychopaths! But #TayJay is back bit- Wait, hold on. Jade Cargill has Mark Sterling defend that her top level performance was dominant, but also educational. “Don’t trust none of these bitches!” But Nyla Rose says that actions speak louder than words, and her actions spoke the loudest, proving she is STILL the most dominant force in AEW. Thunder Rosa says she is rather heartbroken, because she was so close and yet so far. But Rosa never gives up, and she will get what she deserves. Who will be poised for a title shot after Baker VS Soho?

 

Tully Blanchard speaks.

He just wants to say that this is a flashback moment for him. He left the ring with three stars having demolished the other team. Then we look over at Darby Allin, Sting, people from past and present, “and that’s what leadership was! You people just watched leadership!” Meanwhile, Sting is just trying to live off of someone else again. Y’know what? Tully promises to put an end to that. He wants Tony Khan to make this for next week: Shawn Spears VS Darby Allin! Then there will come a time when it’s Tully VS Sting one more time. A lot of big words from the Four Horseman, but will his blast from the past come back to bite him in the butt?

 

Sammy Guevara is here!

And he has cue cards! He has them for picture in picture: “Every Summer has a story. Summer 2021 had some damn good ones! At All Out… Jericho DESTROYED Max! In Pittsburgh… Fuego became ALL ELITE! In Houston… Pam said ‘YES!’ While Summer may be coming to an end… the good times are far from over! The Inner Circle WILL stay on top! Fuego WILL make his mark! And I’ll keep getting those views!” Sammy plugs #Vlogcrew but what must-see moment happens next for the Spanish God?

 

The Elite head to the ring!

The Young Bucks lead the way but are moving slow from how beat up they are after the epic Steel Cage match where they also lost the AEW World Tag Team Championships. The Good Brothers are still Impact World Tag Team Champions, though. And given how Brandon Cutler is all smiles, Michael Nakazawa is carrying the belt around and Don Callis is feeling good, of course Kenny Omega is still THE AEW World Champion. Tony Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold in this group but then Callis takes over the interview. Callis says it is a pleasure to be here on the night the fans voted NUMBER ONE in the Pro-Wresting Illustrated 500! Thanks for the votes and money.

At All Out, it was all about The Elite! It was about Kenny Omega proving exactly why he IS the greatest in this industry. And it was all about the Bucks providing the fans with the memory that is the greatest tag team match ever! And in the course of that, the belts were STOLEN! But don’t worry, they’ve got a plan. Callis lets Nick explain, and Nick says that “Speaking of getting things back… We got our best friend back!!” Ladies and gentlemen, the “newest” member of The Elite, ADAM COLE~! Cole makes his entrance and he joins everyone in the ring for a group “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Nick hands the mic over to Cole and Cole takes a moment to enjoy the fans chanting.

“Who’s ready for story-time with Adam Cole, baybay? But first of all…” Cole steps to Schiavone and says that he knows Schiavone is really “close” with Britt. But Cole swears that if Schiavone even looks at her the wrong way, he “will slap those stupid glasses of your face and whoop your ass, you understand me?” Now get out of the ring! NOW, nerd! Hurry up, you nerd! Can he go any slower?! GO! Cole has talking to do so step down, nerd. Schiavone does leave and Cole continues. “All Elite Wrestling. The greatest professional wrestling in the entire world! And do you wanna know what that is? It’s because of the guys in the ring right now.”

This very ring, the ropes, the stage, anyone who bought tickets, is all thanks to THE Elite! Cole knows he’s new here, but he’s been Elite for a very, very long time. For nearly 14 years, Cole has main evented, won world championships and shown he is a once in a generation professional wrestler. Now, Cole is with the very best! The Bucks are the greatest tag team of all time! Kenny Omega is a once in a lifetime professional wrestler and the AEW World Championship proves that! Now the Elite has Adam Cole Baybay. We should all be thanking Omega! Thanking the Bucks! Thanking THEM! The Elite is COMPLETE, baybay!

And if you don’t believe him, just wait until next week and Cole’s in-ring debut. After Cole proves to the world how good he really is, we’ll see just how Elite he really is. Omega says that sounds like cause for celebration. As much as he’d love to celebrate with the fans, there’s one thing Omega really, really despises: interruptions. At the PPV, they were so unceremoniously– Oh, there’s Flight of the Valkyrie again! Because here comes BRYAN DANIELSON! The American Dragon goes right to the ring but Omega has the music cut off. This was supposed to be THE ELITE’S moment. Omega has the others give him “the room” for a second so he can talk to their guest.

Hey, Bryan. It’s just them. Step on in to the squared circle. Fans cheer as Bryan gets in and stares down with Omega. Honestly speaking, Bryan is just the guy Omega wanted to talk with. Omega wants to cut to brass tax, but Bryan snatches the mic. “Quick question. Do you guys wanna see Bryan Danielson fight Kenny Omega?” “YES! YES! YES!” Well Omega is saying it doesn’t work like that here? So then wait, Omega’s the greatest wrestler to ever live, right? He says everyone’s not on his level! But Bryan just thinks Omega is afraid to take the match because he knows Bryan is better than him, and that he will kick Omega’s head in, and that Omega is NOT on Bryan’s level!

Omega takes off his fancy suit jacket and swings on Bryan! But into a takedown! YES LOCK!! Omega is tapping out!! But the Elite attack Bryan right away! They stomp Bryan and drag Omega to safety, but here come Christian Cage, Frankie Kazarian and Jurassic Express! They even the numbers just like at the end of All Out! And just like All Out, the Elite bail out of the ring! But this time, Luchasaurus picks up Marko Stunt to TOSS him! Fun Size takes out the Bucks! Jungle Boy FLIES to take out the Good Brothers! The Elite Hunter gets Cole with a leg drop! Cutler scurries but he is trapped like the rat he is! And no one is coming to save him! Bryan hits the RUNNING KNEE on Cutler!!

Fans are thunderous as the Yes Movement comes to AEW! Will he and the enemies of the Elite unite to finally shut down all those egos?

 

AEW has BIG news for Dynamite: Grand Slam!

After seeing how Malakai Black tore through the rest of the Nightmare Family, Cody Rhodes is on his way back! Will the American Nightmare be at 100% to avenge friends and brother? Or will he still fight even if he’s the walking wounded?

 

Jon Moxley VS Minoru Suzuki!

The Maniac is home and Cincinnati is happy to have him! But at the same time, the Meanest Man in the World makes his AEW Dynamite debut! Will these two be lonely warriors tonight as they revive their feud from NJPW? And who walks out of here as the king of the jungle?

The bell rings and fans are thunderous as the two stare down. Moxley and Suzuki talk trash and dare the other to do something, but Suzuki forearms first. “This is Awesome!” already because it’s finally happening again! Moxley winds up to forearm Suzuki! Suzuki grins and forearms back. Moxley checks his chin, forearms back and now the forearms fly faster and faster. Fans are fired up as they go back and forth. Suzuki ROCKS Moxley, Moxley ROCKS Suzuki, but Suzuki laughs and runs. Suzuki BOOTS Moxley, Moxley comes back to BOOT Suzuki! Both men share a laugh and the fans are fired up even more.

Suzuki fires off fast hands, palm strikes and body shots! But Moxley ROCKS Suzuki! And then spins to ROLLING ELBOW! Suzuki staggers into ropes but Moxley gets him up to pull him against the ropes. Moxley pulls on Suzuki’s nose, the ref counts and Moxley lets go as fans chant, “F him up, Moxley, F him up!” Moxley goes after Suzuki again in picture in picture, but Suzuki turns that into a DRAPING ARMBAR! The ref counts and reprimands, Suzuki lets go at 4 and then drags Moxley out to wrench and wrap his arm around the post! The ref counts and reprimands again, Suzuki lets off to wrench and wrap Moxley’s arm around the other post.

The ref counts, Suzuki SLAMS Moxley’s arm into the post, Moxley clutches his wrist but Suzuki stomps him down. The ref starts a ring count, Suzuki kicks Moxley around then gets in the ring. Suzuki waits on Moxley as the count climbs, but Moxley gets in at 5 of 10. Suzuki stomps Moxley, drags him around by the bad arm and wrenches it to have a wristlock. Suzuki bends finger to elbow to shoulder for a KIMURA! Moxley endures as Suzuki leans into the hold. Fans rally, Suzuki shifts and SLAMS the arm on the mat. Moxley gets up in anger but leans on the ropes as he clutches that arm. Suzuki toys with Moxley and slaps him around!

Suzuki brings Moxley around and slaps him more. Moxley CHOPS back! Suzuki likes that but Moxley CHOPS him again! And again! Suzuki kicks low and then eggs Moxley on. Moxley gets up so Suzuki BOOTS him into a corner! Suzuki claps, the fans rally up and Suzuki goes corner to corner, into Moxley’s LARIAT! Moxley gets Suzuki up and suplexes high and hard! Cover, TWO! AEW returns to single picture as Suzuki goes to a corner. Moxley storms over to CHOP him again. Moxley whips corner to corner, fans hope they “Fight Forever!” but this show’s almost over! Suzuki reverses the whip to then BOOT Moxley in the corner!

Suzuki snapmares Moxley, runs and PENALTY KICK, but Moxley blocks it! Moxley CLUBS the leg, BITES Suzuki’s forehead, then lets off as the ref counts. Suzuki staggers about but comes back to BITE Moxley! The ref counts, Moxley HEADBUTTS! Suzuki HEADBUTTS back! Moxley wobbles but he HEADBUTTS again! Suzuki HEADBUTTS, Moxley HEADBUTTS, then they DOUBLE HEADBUTT! Both men fall over and fans are fired up! A standing count starts but both men are up at 3. “This is Awesome!” as they fire off SLAPS and forearms! The two stand, the forearms keep flying, and Suzuki ROCKS Moxley!

Suzuki ROCKS Moxley again, but Moxley fires up to LARIAT! Suzuki stays up to forearm, then he catches Moxley for a SLEEPER! Spin around and Gotch hold, but Moxley fights the piledriver with a back drop! Suzuki pops up but into a kick, PARADIGM SHIFT!! But Moxley isn’t done, he runs, Suzuki is bleeding from his eyebrow, and Moxley LARIATS him back down! Cover, ONE?!?! Moxley can’t believe that but Suzuki stands up. Moxley runs and LARIATS again, but Suzuki stays up on the power of rage! Moxley runs again, LARIATS, but Suzuki fights gravity with all his fighting spirit! Moxley runs again but Suzuki DROPKICKS him down!

Suzuki enjoys the blood from his own forehead as he wraps on the SLEEPER! Moxley slips free and ROCKS Suzuki with a haymaker! And then DECKS Suzuki with another! Moxley hauls Suzuki up into the underhooks, for a DEATH RIDER!! Moxley wins!!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall

The Cincy Maniac just made the ring red with Suzuki’s eyebrow blood, and now he gets to celebrate his triumphant homecoming! And as such, he goes out to the crowd to party with his people! Will this win be a big reason Moxley gets another shot at the AEW World Championship? Or at least get the attention of more NJPW stars for him to Strong Style brawl with?


My Thoughts:

Another great episode of AEW here, especially for following certainly one of the best AEW PPV’s. Opening with Dustin VS Malakai was a great choice, and it was a very good match. It also had great character work similar to Malakai VS Johnson, but I feel like it’s more of a rip that we’re just being told Dynamite Grand Slam has Cody VS Malakai instead of Cody doing a very heroic rescue of Dustin as his return. And it would actually be a great move if Malakai still won, so that Cody can shrug off the feelings of “Cody Wins LOL” some already criticize him for. Malakai needs to build and build until he’s taking on a champion, whoever that might be.

Speaking of champions, I like that we got a promo from Miro and Kingston, and I would love to see a rematch of those two where rules are thrown out the window. I don’t know if Kingston wins that, Miro is just that good right now. But Miro VS Malakai could be a thing, and what a great dynamic of Miro having his delusions and Malakai being about shattering arrogance as a story building to a great showdown. CM Punk had a very good promo segment, even if it was weird for Taz to just get attitude with him to set things up. Starks and Cage had a good promo video, their rematch is going to be great, Punk VS Starks should happen after that, FTW Championship completely optional in all that.

I really like that we got what I’ve said should be happening on Dark and Elevation tapings, in that we segue smoothly from one wrestler being ringside for some other reason to having their match right up next. Hobbs goes from trying to intimidate Punk to having a very good match with Dante Martin. Hobbs of course wins here so he can go towards a match with Punk with momentum. We got a slightly less cringe inducing promo from Lambert and his reverse psychology, but I have no idea why Archer isn’t just hunting these guys. It is clever that Lambert and his guys are in the nosebleeds so that they’re so far away from the ring, but we should get promos of Archer getting mad about that.

Nice quick plug for the next phase of Hardy VS Cassidy, and I really do like the idea of Hair VS Hair as a way to go about this. Hardy being shaved bald or even Cassidy being shaved bald could give both guys something fresh to work with. Though to be fair, Cassidy is so chill, a new haircut isn’t much of anything so this has to be coming around to “hurt” Hardy. MJF’s promo segment, just with everything he had to work with to get the fans pissed at him, that is the evil genius of his Heel persona. BPJ got to step up for his family and his town, and I really do like the idea that The Pinnacle as a whole is perhaps moving on from Inner Circle to these other young stars. MJF VS BPJ should get just as heated as MJF has made any other feud he’s been in.

Really good promos from Lucha Brothers and Santana & Ortiz, I am hoping those teams face off for the next tag title feud. Ruby Soho had a really good promo segment with Britt and her team, then had a really good match with Hayter. Riho and Statlander coming to Ruby’s rescue was nice stuff. Both Riho and Statlander have had beef with Britt so there’s continuity, and it seems we’re getting a big Six Woman Tag. Speaking of trios, got a good Six Man out of Pinnacle VS Dark Order, with great advancement in that Dark Order Civil War story. Tully was a bit stumbling in calling out Sting and Darby but again, I like that Pinnacle gets to move on to other stories.

The Elite had a great group promo allowing Adam Cole to have his Dynamite debut, and of course Bryan and the others come out to counteract things. Omega VS Bryan is definitely next, but we can get a lot of great stuff out of The Elite VS the various Elite Hunters, not just Kazarian but also the Jurassic Express and Christian. How about THAT be a Blood & Guts? Bucks, Good Brothers and Cole VS JB, Luchasaurus, Marko, Kaz and Christian, while we also get Omega VS Bryan on the same night. Maybe for the Dynamite Anniversary in October? Now THAT is a “season three premiere” to remember.

And of course, we got a great main event in Mox VS Suzuki, those two are a perfect combo. Moxley won because duh, AEW lets hometown heroes win. Should Kingston not dethrone Miro, and they wait on Miro VS Malakai, give me Miro VS Moxley! Miro and Moxley are their own brands of crazy, those two going head to head will be a lot of fun.

My Score: 9.2/10

Mitchell’s AEW Collision Results & Report! (2/8/25)

Collisions ARE bigger in Texas!

Published

on

Will Houston be Undisputed?

While The Son of Texas, Dustin Rhodes, is in action in Houston, the big attraction is a Trios Triple Threat: Undisputed Kingdom VS 2Point0 VS Shane Taylor Promotions!

OFFICIAL RESULTS

  • Trios Triple Threat: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Daniel Garcia & 2Point0 VS Shane Taylor Promotions; The Undisputed Kingdom wins.
  • Bandido VS Bryan Keith; Bandido wins.
  • Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Ares Alexander, Jay Alexander & Brick Savage; LFI wins.
  • Dustin Rhodes VS Izzy James; Dustin wins.
  • Thunder Rosa VS Penelope Ford; Rosa wins.
  • Mariah May VS Shay Carmichael; Mariah wins.
  • Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe; Kyle wins.

PLAY BY PLAY

Mark Briscoe speaks.

“Tonight, it’s Kyle Fletcher, Mark Briscoe. Kyle, I know your type! You can’t handle your own business! You run around with that pack of wolves, the Don Callis Family! Hey, bring the whole family, line ’em up, I’ll knock ’em down! Tonight, it’s your ass! RAH RAH RAAAH!”

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

“Tonight, I am on a mission. A mission to right a wrong. Now Mark, I want you to see the entire Family is her tonight, because they will not be getting involved. I’ll do this on my own, because even on your best day, you do not come close to the Protostar’s level.” Brian Cage & Lance Archer seem confident, but newest Family member, Mark Davis, seems conflicted. Will the Aussie Arrow really shoot down the Sussex County Chicken this close to Grand Slam: Australia?

 

Someone chucks security!?

It’s Marina Shafir! And that’s because she’s leading the way for Jon Moxley! The fans boo as The Maniac throws a fit, but then Marina snatches a mic for him. Moxley says this show starts when he says it starts! And he is getting a little sick of the Rated R Superstar! Adam Copeland wants a shot at the AEW World Champion? Mox bets he does. Cope thinks he can throw his weight around, but he can’t! He has no power here! Moxley has a list of 1000 reasons why he won’t give Cope a title shot. The fans boo, but Moxley says he has 1000 reasons, but we’ll stick to the simplest one: Moxley doesn’t like Cope.

Moxley doesn’t like anything about Cope! Cope doesn’t know a single thing about Moxley, or about AEW, or about being AEW World Champion. Cope can take his challenge and stick it up his ass! But if it’s a fight he wants, Moxley will do it any time, any place! Here at the Marriott, in Toronto, in Cincinnati, in Asheville, or even next week on Collision in Australia! Let’s do that! Bring Jay White and Mox will whoop his ass, too! Bring that half-broken neck, bring White, and Moxley will whip both their asses! They just better hope and pray that Moxley has the grace to let them walk out of Australia on their own two feet!

If Mox decides it’s time to break Cope’s neck, Cope ain’t coming back! Moxley then drops the mic and storms off, Marina following him out. Is that Moxley making a threat? Or is he just trying to avoid a title match he might lose?

 

Trios Triple Threat: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Daniel Garcia & 2Point0 VS Shane Taylor Promotions!

Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong want to prove they’re the strongest trio in AEW, so they’ll be taking on some strong competition! They got the better of Red Death, Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange, and they got the better of Shane Taylor and The Infantry, but can they beat both teams at once? Or will tonight be anything but undisputed?

The trios sort out, and in this kind of Triple Threat, only two teams are legal. Roddy and Shane start, they tie up, and Roddy slips around to a headlock. Shane blocks on size alone, and he THROWS Roddy away! Roddy comes back to CHOP! Roddy CHOPS again, bobs ‘n’ weaves, but Shane blocks a shot to JAB! Shane talks trash, whips Roddy to ropes, but Roddy ducks ‘n’ dodges. Roddy then stops to BOOT Shane, ENZIGIRI, and he tags Kyle. Roddy & Kyle CHOP and KICK on repeat! They double whip Shane, but Shane DOUBLE LARIATS back! The fans are torn but Shane taunts Cole with, “SHANE TAYLOR, B*TCH!

The fans boo but Shane puts Kyle in the STP corner. Tag to Carlie Bravo, he tags Shawn Dean, then Dean sends Carlie in to forearm SMASH! Then the repeat, forearm smash! Dean adds an ELBOW, then a LARIAT! Dean covers, ONE, but Dean keeps Kyle with a facelock. Dean whips, Kyle grabs ropes, Daddy Magic tags in! Kyle kicks Carlie back, then Kyle and Menard DOUBLE SHOULDER Carlie! They argue now, but Dean SHOVES Menard into Kyle! Kyle tumbles out, Dean ROCKS Menard, then whips. Menard reverses and ELBOWS Dean down! The fans fire up for Daddy Magic and he fires up with them!

Menard CHOPS Dean, pushes him to the open corner, then he tags Parker. Parker whips Menard so Menard can send Parker in, forearm SMASH! Drop toehold! BOOYAH ELBOW! The fans fire up and Parker brings Dean around for a whip. Parker ROCKS Dean, whips again, and ROCKS Dean once more! Dean whips, Cole tags off Parker, Parker sends Dean into a BOOT! Cole and Parker fist bump in respect, Menard jumps on commentary real quick to say this is some 2-for-1 action tonight! Collision is live from coast to coast like butter on toast! Cole fireman’s carries Dean, Dean fires forearms, and Dean RAMS Cole into the STP corner!

STP mugs Cole, the fans boo, but Menard says this is what he’s talking about. Dean tags Carlie, the Infantry brings Cole out to scoop, but Cole slips free! Cole shoves Dean into Carlie, Garcia tags in! The fans fire up as the TNT Champion rallies on the Infantry! Menard is all fired up as Garcia rains down fists on Dean! But Carlie makes the save, only for Garcia to add Carlie to it! Garcia rains down fists on The Infantry, and he goes to nine, winds up, and hits TEN! The fans fire up again, but here comes Shane! Garcia says bring it! Shane swings, Garcia ducks to fire back! Garcia then gets around but Shane fights the saido!

Shane CLUBS Garcia, Dean trips him, and then Dean SLAMS Garcia on the apron! Carlie goes to the apron for a GUILLOTINE KNEE DROP! Menard hops off commentary to reinforce his team, but Shane still hits a GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! STP stands tall and talks trash while Collision goes picture in picture.

Shane drags Garcia up, whips him hard into railing, and Garcia flounders to the commentary desk. The Infantry drags Garcia up, but Menard & Parker rush in! They all brawl, the ref reprimands, but Carlie puts Garcia in. Carlie JABS Garcia again and again in the corner, then pops, locks and CHOPS! Garcia sputters, Shane tags in, and they put Garcia in the open corner. Shane stomps Garcia, stands him up, then CHOPS! Garcia is stinging again but Shane stands over him. The ref reprimands, Shane backs off just to talk trash on the other teams. Shane stands Garcia up, but Garcia fires forearm after forearm! Shane’s BODY SHOT takes Garcia right down!

Tag to Dean, he and Shane mug Garcia, then Dean stands Garcia up. Menard rallies the fans but Dean CHOKES Garcia on ropes! Dean lets off, and Carlie gets a cheap shot in! Dean covers, TWO! Dean tags Shane, Shane stomps Garcia, then Shane stalks Garcia to ropes. Carlie talks trash on Garcia while Shane stands him up. Garcia fires forearms and CHOPS! Garcia runs, but Shane CLOBBERS him! Shane shakes his head, talks trash on 2Point0, then he drags Garcia up. Shane mockingly holds out Garcia’s hand to The Undisputed Kingdom, then he scuffs Garcia. Shane slaps Garcia around, and Collision returns to single picture.

The fans rally for Garcia as Shane stands him up. Garcia fires forearms! The fans fire up, but Shane ROCKS Garcia! Shane scoops, but Garcia slips free! SAIDO!! The fans are thunderous while Shane and Garcia are both down! Garcia crawls, but The Infantry YANK Menard & Parker down! The fans boo, but Carlie tags in to drag Garcia up. Garcia JAWBREAKERS free! Dean tags in, he snatches Garcia into a SLEEPER! Garcia JAWBREAKERS again! Carlie tries, Garcia dodges, hot tag to Kyle! The Violent Artist BOOTS Carlie, then he tags Roddy! STRONG KNEE for Dean! Tag to Cole, SUPERKICK for Shane! Then they DOUBLE LARIAT Shane up and out!

The fans fire up as Cole rallies on Carlie! BOOT and Carlie falls again! Cole fireman’s carries Carlie for the USHIGOROSHI! The fans are fired up again, Strong KNEE for Dean! Kyle suplexes, CHASING THE DRAGON! Cole gives Carlie the GHOSTBUSTER! Cover, MENARD BREAKS IT! Roddy CLUBS Menard, Menard hits a CUTTER! Kyle hits AX & SMAHS on Menard, Parker has Kyle in a Gory Especial! GORY BOMB for Kyle! But Dean hits a TIGER BACKBREAKER on Parker! Garcia DROPKICKS Dean! Shane blocks Garcia’s kick to KNEE him down! Cole SUPERKICKS Shane down again!

The fans are thunderous with’ ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” But Carlie rolls him up! TWO!! DOUBLE LARIATS take both men down! The fans are thunderous as all nine men are down around ringside! The trios regroup, “This is Awesome!” as they all rise up. Then it’s a brawl! The fans are thunderous as things spill out, but Parker blocks Cole’s kick! Menard joins in, they give Cole a DOUBLE DDT! Roddy runs up, 2Point0 gets him! But Kyle saves Roddy from the double DDT! They each knee low, then Roddy hoists Menard up! Kyle climbs, BACKBREAKER KNEE DROP COMBO! Garcia LARIATS Roddy!

Kyle fires off a strike fest on Garcia! Garcia avoids a sweep, clamps onto Kyle, but Kyle breaks free! Garcia CHOPS Kyle, then SAIDOS! The fans fire up again, but The Infantry runs up! They dodge Garcia’s double lariats, then fire off the Cap & Winter Soldier combo! Then TWO TO THE HEAD! But Parker BOOTS Dean, and baits Carlie into TOSSING him out hard! Shane is up to HEADBUTT Parker! Shane tucks Parker in, MARCUS GARVEY DRIVER!! But he gets a PENALTY KICK from Kyle! Then the Kingdom all aims at him! SUPERKICK, STRONG KNEE AND ROLLING ELBOW!! Shane falls and Roddy WRECKS him with a dropkick!

Kyle FLYING KNEES Shane on the outside, then they hit TOTAL ANNIHILATION to the floor! Carlie runs at Cole, Cole gets him with 52 Fake Out! Cole goes up, Carlie avoids the Panama Sunrise, only for a SUPERKICK to find him! Cole then brings down the kneepads, for THE BOOM!! Cover, Undisputed Kingdom wins!

Winners: The Undisputed Kingdom, by pinfall

It’s all about the Boom, and that makes this match undisputed! Garcia realizes he was too little, too late. Cole wants to show Garcia respect, but then THE DEATH RIDERS ATTACK! Namely, Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli & Pac! The AEW World Trios Champions beat down everyone, but especially focus on The Kingdom! Cole, Kyle & Roddy want to be the best trio, but the titles belong to the Death Riders. Claudio has a mic to say, “I just came out here to personally congratulate you on your victory. But more importantly, to remind everyone who the real best trio is around here.”

Pac & Yuta sit Cole up and Claudio says sorry, Cole, he couldn’t hear that over the ass whopping they just gave his team. Cole says you picked the fight with the wrong trio! Oh, is that so? But then STRONG KNEE outta nowhere! The fans fire up as the tides have turned! Kyle has Yuta in an ANKLE LOCK, and Yuta TAPS! Cole sends Pac running, but Claudio drags Yuta to safety! The Death Riders regroup and retreat, but Cole grabs the mic. Cole says he is so damn sick and tired of the Death Riders thinking they can do whatever they want! Cole reminds us that he said in 2025, they’d prove themselves as THE BEST trio in AEW!

So next week, Cole looks to cash in on that promise! The fans like where this is going. Next week, Dynamite, FOR the Trios Championships, Undisputed Kingdom VS Death Riders! And Cole swears to God, he promises on everything he believes in, the Kingdom will whip some ass and become the champions! THAT is undisputed! TK calls in, that match is approved! Will Cole, Kyle & Roddy be the three that free these Trios Championships from the Death Riders?

 

FTR speaks.

Those three letters represent THE top guys in tag team wrestling. Whether AEW, ROH, NJPW, Mexico, and every major promotion across the world, these tow have been champions. For far too long, their greatness was forgotten, and they’ve taken a backseat to others. That ends now. The three letters, F T R, should represent the greatest team to ever do it. To make that a reality, they need to get the AEW World Tag Team Championships for a third time. Whoever are the champions, this message is for you. FTR is back. #TopGuysOut.

 

Backstage interview with Max Caster.

Alicia Atout is with Platinum Max and he makes sure to add, “Best Wrestler Alive.” Alicia brings up last Wednesday night, Caster provoking while his Open Challenge is ongoing. Caster says Hangman got angry at him when all he wanted to do was have his interview. The people wanna hear from the Best Wrestler Alive, and Hangman was taking forever. Caster simply asked Hangman to please hurry up, and Hangman got angry. That’s not how a man asks. Let’s not call him “Hangman,” this is “Hangperson.” And so if Hangperson wants to go a round with Caster, get in line, because his open challenge is going on. And thanks for mentioning that, Alicia.

So, who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? We’re gonna see this week on Dynamite! Caster will show everyone that you can’t be better than the best, and that is a mic drop! He even drops Alicia’s mic to prove it. But will Caster regret leaving the door open to an angry Cowboy?

 

Bandido VS Bryan Keith!

Speaking of angry cowboys, The Most Wanted finally returns to in-ring action, and he’s up against The Bad Apple! Will Bandido clear a path back to the ROH World Championship? Or will the Bounty Hunter collect on that $200,000 Chris Jericho has promised?

The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Bandido and Keith stare down, and then they fire forearms! The fans cheer this shootout, Bandido knees low, but Keith throws his poncho at him! Keith BOOTS Bandido down and the fans are torn. Bandido gets up, throws the poncho back, and he headlocks. Keith powers up to throw Bandido down! Keith runs, Bandido stays low, but Keith then whips him. Bandido dodges the boot, Keith dodges the handspring, but Bandido aims his finger gun. Keith swats it, Bandido dodges the lariat, to then slip around and arm-drag! Keith goes to a corner, but he dodges Bandido.

Keith runs back up, but Bandido pops Keith up! Bandido then throws Keith back, Keith rolls to his feet, but Bandido DROPKICKS him down! The fans fire up while Keith shakes out the stars. Bandido storms up, LA MAGISTROL, TWO! Keith escapes, but Bandido drags him up. Keith CHOPS, the fans rally, and Keith pie faces Bandido. Bandido CHOPS Keith, then eggs him on. Keith CHOPS, Bandido CHOPS back, and the fans “WOO~!” Keith kicks low, whips Bandido to a corner, but Bandido goes up and out! GAMANGIRI! Keith staggers, Bandido goes up, and CROSS- SOBAT!! Keith takes Bandido outta the sky!

The fans are torn but Keith has a wild look in his eyes while Collision goes picture in picture.

Keith soaks up cheers and jeers while Bandido bails out. Keith slides out the side, runs in around the way, and he BOOTS Bandido down! Bandido sputters while Keith seethes. Keith stalks Bandido, refreshes the ring count, then he drags Bandido up. Keith puts Bandido in the ring, stalks him some more, then stands Bandido up. Bandido fires body shots, then whips Keith. Keith reverses, then runs to BULLDOG! That’s a very Jericho looking move! Bandido flounders, Keith whips him again, SLIDING him out to the floor! Bandido writhes but Keith has another wild look in the eyes. Keith soaks up some more heat while Bandido crawls to the ring.

Bandido stands, rolls in at 7 of 10, but Keith is on him with a rain of fists! The ref counts, Keith whips Bandido to ropes, and he FLAPJACKS Bandido down! Keith pushes Bandido to a cover, TWO! Bandido is still in this while Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and the two clinch. Keith power sup to EXPLODER, but Bandido makes it a sunset flip! TWO, and Keith runs up, into a KNEE! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, then goes up, up, and TORNILLO! The fans fi reup as Bandido then pops Keith up to a military press! ONE ARM! Then the SLAM!! Cover, TWO! Keith survives and Bandido is surprised, but the fans fire up again! Bandido feeds off that energy and aims at the ropes! Bandido runs, but Keith LARIATS Bandido first! Keith goes to a corner, aims at Bandido, and he runs in, only for Bandido to BOOT! Bandido goes up, Keith RISING HEADBUTTS!

Keith roars, the fans are torn, and Keith climbs! Keith and Bandido fight, but Keith ROCKS Bandido! Keith clinches on the top rope, for a SUPER EXPLODER!! The fans are thunderous while both men are down! The fans duel, and Keith rises! Keith storms up on Bandido to CHOP! CHOP! And CHOP! The fans “WOO~!” and Keith fires up, but Bandido CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Then SUPERKICK! Keith ENZIGIRIS! Both men stagger, the fans fire up more, and both men stand back to back. They both turn around to look at each other, and they nod! They take five paces and go to the corners! Then they run up, DOUBLE SHOTGUN DROPKICKS!!

The fans are thunderous again, it’s a standing ovation in Houston! Keith rises first, but he and Bandido go forehead to forehead. They stand, and Keith underhooks the arms! Bandido wrenches out, but Keith ROCKS him! Keith runs, but Bandido scoops him! Torture rack and FLIPPING KNEE! Keith staggers, he isn’t asleep yet! But Bandido aims his finger gun, and BANG! Keith rises, into the BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, BANDIDO WINS!

Winner: Bandido, by pinfall

No prize money for the Bounty Hunter, this bandit is just that good! But will the Most Wanted get what he wants in a title match with The Nueve?

 

Backstage interview with “Powerhouse” Hobbs.

Lexy Nair is with Will Hobbs and says he asked for this time. What’d he like to say? Hobbs says hey to Big Bill, rubbing in that Keith didn’t collect his bounty. And guess what? Hobbs will be in Texas all week long. He’ll be looking for a fight, and maybe in Austin, Bill actually gives Hobbs a fight. Or maybe the Big Redwood is just a big baby. Hobbs has called out the rest of The Learning Tree’s Branches, will he cut them all down?

 

Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Ares Alexander, Jay Alexander & Brick Savage!

Rush y Dralistico made their return, and they want not just Beast Mortos but ALL of AEW to understand, that when you mess with the bull, you get the horns! Will LFI look to stampede through the Trios Division now that they’re reunited?

The trios sort out, and the fans cheer on “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Instead, we get Dralistico and Ares Alexander. But then Dralistico tags out to Mortos, and Mortos CLOBBERS Ares! And SMACKS him! Mortos whips Ares to then POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Tag to Dralistico, springboard CODE BREAKER! Tag back to Mortos, they BLAST Jay and Brick! The fans fire up as Dralistico tags Rush! Rush storms around, the fans cheer him on, “If you mess with the bull, you get the horns!” BULL’S HORNS!! Ares is almost sent out of the ring! Mortos pushes him back in, Rush covers, LFI wins!!

Winners: La Faccion Ingobernable, by pinfall

The other guys didn’t even get to tag in! And now LFI mugs Ares! Jay is furious that they’re doing this to his brother, so he and Brick get in! Brick DOUBLE CHOPS Dralistico & Mortos, only to get a CHOP, HEADBUTT, and SPIN KICK! Jay runs up, Rush blocks his knee to HEADBUTT him down! LFI deals with Brick and the Alexander Brothers with ease, but they’re not down! They beat Jay down, but here comes Komander! Wait, what can one do against there? He still springboards to FLYING POISON-RANA Mortos!! Then he dodges Rush y Dralistico to jump off Dralistico and RANA Rush! Then Komander fires off on Dralistico!

The SOBAT knocks Dralistico down, then he builds speed. But Dralistico trips Komander, YANKS him out, and then sends him back in for Rush. Rush CLAWS at Komander’s mask! The fans boo, but then the lights go down! And when the lights come up, it’s HOLOGRAM! LFI took him down, but he has rebuilt himself, rebooted the system, and “upgrade complete!” Four months away but he looks better than ever! SUPERKICK for Dralistico! Then he jumps over Mortos to DROPKICK Rush out of the ring! Then he tilt-o-whirls and DEJA VU RANAS Mortos! Mortos gets back up, but runs into a CRASH COURSE from Hologram!

Hologram and Komander stand tall together, then build speed! They DOUBLE TOPE CONJILO!! The brawling continues, and Rush has a chair! Rush wants to smash someone but the refs stop him! Rush snarls, drops the chair, but then he DECKS a ref!! The fans are torn but Jake the Snake will have to handle that fine for Rush. But will Rush’s rampage continue until LFI are on top of AEW?

 

Backstage interview with Megan Bayne.

Well, Lexy tries to get Megasus to respond, but she just keeps walking. Thunder Rosa is there to welcome Megan to AEW. Megan ignores the high-five so Rosa says okay, she’s not about that. That’s fine. So much for Southern Hospitality. Rosa tells Lexy that Megan is superbad, too. Megan just got here, and she’s so mad! But whatever, we’re in Texas! And everyone knows about Texas hospitality! And tonight, Ford gets that “hospitality” because Rosa will make sure she has a memory that lasts. Let’s get ready to kick some butt! Rosa is all fired up, will she wrangle Penelope Ford like it’s a rodeo?

 

Harley Cameron is in the ring.

The wild Aussie has a couple guitars and a big puffy pink jacket as she welcomes Houston to the Harley Halftime Show! Ladies and gentlemen, she didn’t come alone. Oh, no no! Please say hello to PUPPET MERCEDES! Harley takes off her jacket and turns around to reveal her Muppet of Mercedes Mone is riding in her backpack! The fans cheer and Harley says Puppet Mone is a tiny lil’ baby. Now to kick things off, here’s a song you may know too well. It’s called the Money Train. Harley starts strumming the guitar, and she sings a long R&B note. The fans cheer, Harley sings she wants to RIIIDE~ the Money Train~!

The phone lights come out already as Harley repeats “The Money Train” again and again, but then the REAL Mercedes Mone interrupts! Mone is wearing the TBS and NJPW Strong titles while carrying the Rev-Pro and Queen of Southside belts. Mone has a mic to ask Harley, “Are you stupid? Or are you dumb? Nobody came out here to watch the Harley Halftime Show!” NO, they’re all to see #FourBeltsMone. So Houstooooooon~! Please say hello to your C  E O! The fans boo instead. Mone tells Harley that she doesn’t know how many times she has to tell her, but she is nothing but a l- LEGEND!! Harley cuts Mone off there and the fans cheer.

And with that said, Harley would like to begin her second song! “Hello, it’s good to see you, Miss Mercedes Mone. You’ve got four belts? Well I’ve got one dream! So, what do you say~? You come out here tonight, cut me off, and if I’m being blunt. I think the way you’re acting, well, are a cuuunning woman~!” And Harley will say it now, Mone is just afraid to feel the WRATH! THE WRATH! THE WRATH! The fans join in, “FEEL THE WRATH!” and Mone sarcastically plays along, until she grabs the guitar! The fans boo but Mone tells Harley to shut up. Harley is so talented, super talented, but let’s get real. If there’s anything real about Harley!

Mone doesn’t know why Harley wants a match with Mone when that little puppet on her back can wrestle better. So Harley needs to get out of her ring, because Harley is NOT on Mone’s level. Harley has the fans on her side as she tells Mone, “You’ore right. You’re right.” Harley is new to this. She can only ever dream to achieve in her career what Mone already has in AEW. But Harley has fought so hard to be here where she is today, and she’s NOT stopping! The fans cheer that! Harley would love nothing more than to face Mone in Australia, in her home city in her home country! And for the TBS Championship!

Mone is a game changer, yes, but Harley has to admit. In Mone’s whole career, the most entertaining that she’s ever been… is when Harley had her hand up Mone’s puppet ass!! The fans fire up for that! But Mone SLAPS Harley! The fans boo, but Harley gets pissed now! Harley shouts FEEL THE WRATH, then she DECKS Mone with the mic!! Mone bails out, grabs a new mic, and with the fans chanting Harley’s name, Mone says if Harley wants her shot at Grand Slam, then she’s on! But one more thing: Mone can’t wait to embarrass Harley in front of her friends, her family, and show the world why she IS the CEO!

Mone leaves, but Harley is just fired up to have the match she wants! Will she also take that title off Mone to finally be the Face of TBS?

 

Lexy Nair moderates the Continental Championship face-to-face.

She has Buddy Matthews with her, but Kazuchika Okada is clearly absent. Lexy says this was meant to be the face-to-face, so if Buddy wishes, they can proceed. Buddy says go ahead. Lexy asks Buddy what it’d mean if- Oh, NOW Okada shows up. The Rainmaker takes his seat, gets mic’d up, and asks for a water. Lexy thanks Okada for taking the time to join them. She wants to ask about the title match, but Buddy says he’ll handle this. Buddy scoots up and says they’ll cut to the chase: “In Brisbane, Australia, you and I will face each other. Australia’s best versus Japan’s best. But I haven’t fallen for this BS comedy facade that you’re playing.

“See, I know what the real Okada’s all about, and I know what he’s capable of doing. But I’m not sure he knows what I’m capable of doing.” The people stand by Buddy. Australia stands by Buddy! So it is time for Buddy to beat Okada for that title. Okada needs to look Buddy in the eyes and say if he thinks Buddy believes this or this is just some fake facade that Buddy’s playing. Buddy and Okada both stand up, and then Okada laughs. “B*TCH!” Buddy fakes a punch and Okada flinches! Buddy pats Okada on the shoulder, and tells him, “I’ll see you in Brisbane.” Buddy leaves, the staffer shows up with the water, but Okada throws it down.

Okada is furious that Buddy got the better of him, but will Okada get serious once the bell rings?

 

Dustin Rhodes VS Izzy James!

The Natural is still fuming from everything MJF did and said just last Wednesday. Dustin looks to get his hands on that scumbag in Austin, but what will happen here in Houston? The bell rings, Dustin circles with Izzy and ties up. But then Izzy knees low, mocks the deep breath, then whips. Dustin slips around the lariat to then dragon sleeper! CROSS RHODES!! Dustin isn’t done, he hauls Izzy up to hit the FINAL RECKONING! Cover, Dustin wins!

Winner: Dustin Rhodes, by pinfall

And with that, Dustin grabs himself a mic! “Maxwell Jacob Friedman. You call yourself ‘The Devil.’ You’re not the devil. As I told you last week, I went to Hell, I looked at the Devil in his eyes, and I kicked his teeth in! And I ripped, teared, and crawled my way out! And the reason why is because I am a survivor! I AM the 56-year-old Last of My Kind! And Max, while you’re sitting at home in your recliner right now in Long Island, New York, I want you to know something. Every thing in your brain right now thinks that you’re gonna do to me, I’ve already done. Five DECADES. Blood, sweat, and tears, and passion, something you do not have!

“And guess what, Max? I am still here! Next week, in MY backyard of Austin, Texas, AEW Dynamite, I am going to drag you to hell, and you are gonna meet the actual devil! And I will give you a Texas sized ass whooping for the ages!” The fans like that! Dustin has a question for MJF: After MJF gets out of this business, will it remember him? Because it damn sure will remember Dustin! The fans are fired up, will MJF regret messing with this Son of Texas?

 

The Death Riders speak.

The Bastard says, “Finally, finally, finally! We have been the Trios Champions for what feels like an eternity, and there have been very, very few individuals who have had the guts, the bullocks, to stand up to the Death Riders. Well, gentlemen, we welcome your challenge. From true professionals, none the less. But understand this: We are the elite of the elite. And this week on Dynamite, we look forward to making an example out of you.” Claudio adds that the Kingdom has teeth, and he respects that. They have something worth the Death Riders’ time. Too bad the Death Riders will just have to pull those teeth out.

Claudio says they are the absolute BEST at this! Claudio leads the way out, and Yuta just adds a cocky grin. Will the Death Riders be unstoppable in their reign of terror?

 

Thunder Rosa VS Penelope Ford!

La Mera Mera is ready to rope ‘n’ ride, and she even has the Houston Texans’ Toro by her side! But will Rosa be running hot towards a title opportunity in the near future? Or will everything be superbad tonight?

Winner: Thunder Rosa, by pinfall

Rosa says this one’s for Texas! But hold on, Megan Bayne is making her way out here? Rosa isn’t sure why The Megasus is stepping on her moment when all she wanted to do was welcome her to AEW. Megan goes right to the ring and Rosa says fine, bring it! Megan stares down Rosa, but then Ford CLOBBERS Rosa! Ford dribbles Rosa off the mat, CHOKES her, HAMMERS her, but Megan just lets her! The fans boo, and Ford leaves the scrapes for Megan. Megan takes her headdress off, picks Rosa up, and fireman’s carries! “BOW DOWN!” F5!! Megan stands tall over Rosa, will she soon stand atop the mountain in AEW?

 

AEW shares footage from last night’s DEFY Wrestling show.

Ricochet returned to DEFY as it held a show in Seattle, Washington, and he talked a lot of trash while wearing the robe he stole from Prince Nana & Swerve Strickland last Wednesday. But little did he know, SWERVE would show up! Swerve attacked, Ricochet ran away, but not for long as NANA put Ricochet back in the ring! Ricochet find another way to escape and kept the robe on his person! When and where will Swerve get his revenge on Ricochet?

 

Backstage interview with Bun B.

Lexy is with Houston’s living legend, the hit singer and entrepreneur, and welcomes him to the show. They have his burgers as part of catering, and it is fantastic. How does it feel to be back in AEW? Bun B says it’s always great to have AEW back in Texas. They’re all big fans here, they can’t wait for All In: Texas. But then Ricochet interrupts? He asks what this is. Oh, he knows now! This is Bun B, Trill Burgers, America’s best! And he’s a friend of Swerve’s, right? Well, if Bun B hasn’t been watching, but AEW is no longer Swerve’s House. It is now Ricochet’s! And Mr. B, but since you’re here, all these burgers now belong to Ricochet, too.

Ricochet says if they don’t mind, he wants to try one of America’s best. Ricochet says it looks aight. He takes a bite, and then SPITS IT OUT! This is what they’re serving? It’s trash! There are much better burgers out there. The server says everyone else likes them. Ricochet asks what that guy just said. W-Well, they like them… Oh, everyone else likes them? He DRAGS this guy onto the table and asks who he is to talk to Ricochet like that! Bun B tells Ricochet to stop that. Ricochet tells B to back off. B may be close to Swerve, but tell him and Nana, “Thanks for the jacket.” HAHA! Ricochet leaves, but is he only heaping fuel on the fire?

 

Mariah May VS Shay Carmichael!

The AEW Women’s World Champion is calling this her “Glamorous Exhibition Match,” because she clearly doesn’t think this will be that hard on her. Will Mariah be more than ready for Grand Slam: Australia and the threat Toni Storm poses?

Whoa, Mariah SHOTGUNS Shay the moment she’s in the ring! The fans boo but Mariah sits Shay up for a RUNNING KNEE! The fans boo more, but Mariah just smiles. Mariah stands Shay up, fireman’s carries, and she hits MAYDAY!! Cover, Mariah wins!

Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall

Toni Schiavone has a good point: Shay’s hair is a bit like Toni’s, could this be a case of Mariah taking her frustrations out on an innocent young wrestler? Wait, what’s in the fancy handbag? Mariah opens it up, and she brings out a black satin robe. Mariah dresses Shay up in it, so now she really looks like Timeless Toni! Mariah smears red lipstick all over Shay’s face, then SHOVES her down! The fans boo Mariah more, but wait! LUTHER THE BUTLER is here! The fans cheer as Luther goes right to the ring, a tray in hand. He pulls away the napkin, to present a SHOE~! Mariah is freaking out, but then she swings on Luther!

Luther gets away, but the warning is clear! Mariah huffs ‘n’ puffs and goes back for Shay, but SURPRISE~! It’s the REAL Toni Storm! Mariah has seen a ghost, and Toni HEADBUTTS her down! Mariah runs away but Toni pursues! Toni catches her at the barriers, SMACKS her off the steps, then drags her up! Toni reels Mariah in, but Mariah scrambles free! Mariah runs away into the night, but Luther carries Toni away on his shoulders. With just one week left before their All In: London rematch, will it truly be Toni Time once again?

 

Something’s going on backstage!

The Don Callis Family is rampaging against random AEW prospects, and even security! The Murder Machines are having fun, but Mark Davis doesn’t seem to even try. Cage tells Davis that he’s Don Callis Family now! Get your hands dirty! That’s a fact of life. Davis snarls, and he uses a monitor to SMASH one of the randos! Cage TOSSES another over road cases, and Davis drags Jon Cruz up to TOSS him into trash! Archer says it’s DCF VS Everybody, and EVERYBODY DIES! Kyle Fletcher said he won’t need these guys to help him against Mark Briscoe, but will that be true? Or will Mark prove the Continental Classic win wasn’t a fluke?

 

Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe!

The Continental Classic’s round robin phase was almost perfect for The Protostar, if not for getting caught by #DemBoys. Kyle claims that was all a fluke and it’ll never happen again. But will the Aussie Arrow miss the Mark again? Or will he be able to #ManUp before Grand Slam: Australia?

The bell rings and Kyle BOOTS Mark right down! The fans boo but Kyle soaks it all up. Kyle goes to Mark, Mark fires a body shot but Kyle ROCKS Mark. Kyle stomps away in the corner, but lets off as the ref counts 4. The fans boo more while Kyle paces. Kyle storms up on Mark, CHOPS him, then reels him in for a scoop and SLAM! Mark writhes and crawls to the ropes while Kyle soaks up more heat. Kyle stalks Mark, drags him up, and wrenches to whip. Mark goes up, around, and ROCKS Kyle with a forearm! Mark CHOPS, fires more shots, then whips. Kyle reverses, but Mark grabs ropes! Mark ELBOWS Kyle, then TOSSES him!

The fans fire up and Mark builds speed, to DIVE! CANNONBALL TOPE and it’s a direct hit! Houston is all fired up with Mark, and then Mark grabs a chair. Mark tosses the chair in, then brings out a TABLE! Houston fires up even more, but the ref tells Mark this isn’t that kind of match! Mark doesn’t care, he still sets the table up. Kyle hobbles around, rolls into the ring, and the fans chant, “We Want Tables!” Mark finishes with the furniture to then run in at Kyle. Kyle ELBOWS back, goes up, but Mark UPPERCUTS! Kyle tumbles to the apron then staggers around on the floor. Mark builds speed to WRECK Kyle with a dropkick!

The fans fire up even more as Mark takes aim. BANG BANG, FOLEY ELBOW- NO, Kyle catches Mark! And he pops Mark around to LAWN DART him into the post! Mark falls in a heap, Kyle tells the ref to shut it, then he flexes while he soaks up more heat. The fans boo but Kyle refreshes the ring count. Kyle sits Mark up to show how he’s busted open. Kyle kisses the bloody wound, then he APRON POWERBOMBS Mark! Mark falls in a heap, Kyle soaks up more heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Mark crawls while the blood drips to the floor. Kyle flexes while he soaks up even more heat, and he wants on Mark. Mark slowly rises, but Kyle comes back around the outside. Mark makes it to the apron, only for Kyle to hit a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Mark flops back down, and Kyle tells the ref to hold on. Kyle whips Mark hard into railing! Kyle then sees Mark’s table, and he gets an idea. Kyle brings Mark up, puts him in the ring, and then he positions the table a bit closer to the ring. Kyle brings Mark up through the ropes, then to the apron. But Mark throws body shots! Mark has the fans fire dup, but Kyle stops the suplex!

Kyle tries but Mark fights the suplex! They both fight for control, but Mark then slips into the ring. Mark UPPERCUTS Kyle, and Kyle holds onto the ropes! Mark UPPERCUTS again, Kyle flails more! Mark UPPERCUTS and Kyle has to switch hands! Mark runs, but Kyle slips in and ELBOWS him down! Kyle has a sinister grin, then he rains down fists. The ref counts, but Kyle just hammers away on the bloody forehead! Kyle stops to admire the blood on his hands, and he paints his chest with it. Mark flounders to a corner, sputters through the crimson mask, and Kyle mocks the fans. Kyle goes back to Mark, but Mark CHOPS!

Mark CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Kyle scoops to SLAM! Mark writhes while Kyle mockingly encourages the fans to get louder. Kyle stalks Mark, stands on his neck in the corner, but steps off as the ref counts. Collision returns to single picture, and the fans rally for Mark while Kyle taunts him. Mark stands, but Kyle kick shim! And BOOTS him! Kyle fires forearms, but Mark fires back! The fans fire up as the shots go back and forth, again and again! Mark gets the edge, he ROCKS Kyle, then roars! But Kyle BOOTS him again! Kyle runs, but Mark dodges! Kyle dodges, both men keep going, DOUBLE LARIATS turn both men inside-out!

Kyle hoists Mark up, TOP ROPE BRAINBUSTER!!!! Cover, KYLE WINS!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall

Mark’s win in the C2 was not a fluke, but Kyle made sure this one wasn’t, either! It was bloody and brutal, but Kyle then grabs a mic to say, “I told you…! I told you…! I proved tonight that Mark Briscoe’s win over me was a fluke! And in one week, I do the same to Ospreay!” The fans boo but Kyle says not only Ospreay, but Kyle will prove that the Best Bout Machine & The Aerial Assassin are no longer the future, but that the future stands RIGHT HERE! And it is The Protostar, KYLE…! FLETCHER!! The Aussie Arrow is as dangerous and confident as ever, but will he and The Alpha really win the Grand Slam tag team dream match? Or will the be beat by the Best Bout Bruvs?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision, especially as a partial go-home to Grand Slam next Saturday. The cold open promos from Kyle and Mark were really good, but I’m still not a fan of cold open promos because they have to be quick and yet I can’t keep up with them that quickly. I do appreciate we got Mark Davis being a reluctant member of the Don Callis Family to help add to what we saw on Dynamite. Davis is clearly only in this to get back at Ospreay for Ospreay not being a better friend and all that, so he didn’t want to beat up on randos just because. And then Kyle VS Mark was an awesome and wild main event. Great win for Kyle, but that’s because Ospreay & Omega are gonna win at Grand Slam now.

Very good promo segment from Okada and Buddy to hype their match, and maybe Buddy wins, but I guess it really depends on how the Aussie win-loss record is gonna split. Harley Cameron and Mercedes Mone had a very good segment, though I thought we were going to get more songs from Harley before Mone interrupted. Harley getting the title match she wants is a great moment, but I’m thinking this means she loses her match. Mariah of course beat up her opponent tonight, but that was a great little surprise with Luther and Toni. The go-home math builds towards Mariah winning, but if anyone were to defy that expectation, it’s Toni Storm.

Moxley and Marina showing up to basically start the show was pretty wild, but what kind of promo was that from Moxley? Did he forget that just three days ago, Jay White made it clear it was going to be White & Cope VS Moxley & Claudio in a tag match? The way he worded it made it seem like he forgot, or like he was trying to make it his idea, not theirs. But we got better stuff from Claudio, Pac & Yuta after that great Trios Triple Threat. I figured the Undisputed Kingdom would win, and we’ll get an awesome Trios Championship match. I could see the Kingdom winning so as to put the Death Riders on the defensive with only the world title left.

Good stuff from the Ricochet VS Swerve story. Tying DEFY Wrestling into this is great, as well as having Bun B get in on that backstage promo. Revolution is definitely the goal for the Ricochet VS Swerve rematch, and I would think they up it with No Disqualifications and the robe being the unofficial prize. Good promo from Caster to call out “Hangperson,” but I would think Hangman does answer the Open Challenge for Dynamite. Dustin of course got a win tonight, and he called out MJF ahead of their match. That’ll be some great stuff, but I bet MJF cheats to win. Then maybe Jeff Jarrett goes after MJF to set up a match for Revolution. That or they give us Hangman VS MJF as they’ve been teasing.

Rosa VS Ford was a good match, but there was certainly a legit moment of concern for Ford in the middle. It might just be, but I feel like Ford hasn’t gotten the ring rust off even this long after her return. But Megan Bayne starting on a story with Rosa is great for Megan. Megan’s already strong, tall, with great presentation, so taking the fight to a former AEW Women’s World Champion is going to help establish Megan in the division. Megan can even be on the other side of a title feud after Revolution, depending on who holds what titles. Good promo from FTR, and I suppose they were being generic about who they were challenging as it might take time for FTR to get back to the tag titles.

LFI pulled off one of the gnarliest squashes I’ve seen, but that was a great way to get Hologram’s return. Hologram & Komander VS LFI is good stuff, and I feel like Hologram VS Rush should be the blowoff. Great match from Bandido VS Keith, and a great win for Bandido. Hobbs had a good promo to follow up while calling out Bill. As I said before, Bandido VS Jericho for the ROH World Championship is definitely happening. And then Hobbs VS Bill will be some great stuff, I’d love if they did some kind of ring breaking spot, same as we’ve seen many times in WWE.

My Score: 8.8/10

Backstage interview with Jay White.

Renee Paquette is with the Switchblade, and says she wants to talk the newfound alliance he seems to have with Adam Copeland. Yeah, he made it just in time for the show, luckily they’re close to the airport. But that new relationship, that’s building in real time before our very eyes. There is no real history between him and “Cope,” but there is something there for him and FTR. They haven’t always seen eye to eye, but the last time they spoke, White said that to fight the Death Riders, he’d need to rely on those he usually wouldn’t. Now he must rely on FTR and the Rated R Superstar, Adam Copeland.

Because the Death Riders, they always seem to have the numbers. Well, speaking of, the Death Riders storm up on White! White wants them all to hold on a minute, let’s get a head count. Because up behind the Death Riders is Rated FTR! White shows that it is all right on time! And the brawl is on! White has Moxley while Rated FTR brawls with the AEW World Trios Champions! These eight throw hands as they move further backstage! Moxley sends White into road cases, but White hits back! Moxley RAMS White, the rest of the fighting is closer to gorilla now, and spilling out to ringside! The fans fire up as Cash sends Pac into railing!

Cash then brings The Bastard around to send into the side of a tunnel! Part of it chips off! Pac gets up to kick back, the brawling continues, and now we’re at the ring! The fans fire up as Cope RIPS Claudio’s shirt off to fire hands! Moxley and White brawl among the fans, and Moxley DUMPS White over railing. Dax beats Yuta down, Cope DUMPS Claudio over barriers, and White fires hands on Moxley! Yuta sends Dax into steel steps, but White sends Moxley into some! White and Moxley end up in the ring, but Yuta hurries in. White catches Yuta for a BLADERUNNER! But then Moxley has White! White clinches, Pac BOOTS him!

Dax storms in, Pac SOBATS Dax, runs, but Dax avoids the dropkick! Cash joins in, SHATTER MACHINE for Pac! Claudio drags Dax out, and SWINGS him into railing! Cash BLASTS Claudio, then DIVES into an UPPERCUT! Moxley calls to his Death Riders and they all mug White! The fans boo but Moxley tells White he can go to hell, because he doesn’t stand for anything! But Cope is up! Claudio saves Moxley to take the SPEAR! Moxley stays back, the Death Riders regroup, and now they’re in retreat. ATL cheers on Cope, and Cope tells Moxley, “I don’t know if you can hear it, but these folks here are chanting one name.”

So then, Moxley, what’s your answer? You still got a set of nuts? Is he accepting the challenge for the AEW World Championship at Revolution? Moxley storms back up to ringside, but only so far as to grab a mic and say, “You deserve nothing, you get nothing, the answer is ‘no.'” The fans boo but then White shouts at Moxley! White tells Moxley he has an offer for him! White can make Moxley Breathe with the Switchblade while drowning in a pool of his own blood! Moxley & Claudio VS White & Cope, ANYTHING GOES in a Brisbane Brawl, Grand Slam: Australia!! The fans like the sound of that! Will Cope & White make things Rated R when AEW goes down under?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Grand Slam: Australia!

After being called out by Buddy Matthews twice, Kazuchika Okada wants to prove “I not b*tch!” The Rainmaker is giving the Aussie Juggernaut his shot at the Continental Championship, but will he deny Buddy the hometown victory? Or will Buddy be the one to make it reign?

 

Will Ospreay VS ??? w/ Don Callis!

While the Aerial Assassin is going to be taking on Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher alongside Kenny Omega in Brisbane, it would seem the newest member of the Don Callis Family wants to fight him first! But just who is it? Callis makes his way out here with a mic to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very important announcement to make.” The fans chant, “F Don Callis!” but Callis says the opponent for Ospreay tonight is a man he knows very well! A man he called his brother! Ladies and gentlemen, it’s MARK DAVIS! Ospreay is completely shocked! Davis was last scene trying to knock sense into Kyle Fletcher! How did Callis get Davis on his side?

That mystery aside, the bell rings, and the fans chant “YOU SOLD OUT!” at Dunkzilla. Ospreay gets in Davis’s face, pushes him, then SLAPS him! Davis CHOPS Ospreay right back! And CHOPS him again! And again! The fans boo but Ospreay puts Davis in the corner to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Ospreay whips, Davis cartwheels and scoops Ospreay to SLAM him! But Ospreay avoids the senton, then basement DROPKICKS! The fans fire up for Ospreay and he CLUBS Davis on the neck. Ospreay fires forearms, then UPPERCUTS! Ospreay whips, Davis reverses, but Ospreay KICKS in return! Ospreay then dodges a lariat, but runs into a BACKDROP!

The fans boo but Davis soaks it up. Davis runs up on Ospreay in a corner to LARIAT! Ospreay sits down, Davis runs and SLIDING FOREARMS! Ospreay clutches his jaw, Davis covers, TWO! Davis drags Ospreay up to scoop and SLAM! Davis looms over Ospreay, then drags him up. Davis wrenches and CHOPS Ospreay, then CHOPS again! Davis CHOPS Ospreay off his feet, and now SENTONS down on him! Cover, TWO! Davis brings Ospreay up to suplex high and hard! Ospreay clutches his back but Davis KICKS him! Ospreay goes to a corner, but Davis CHOPS again! Ospreay fires forearms and the fans rally up, only for Davis to CLAW Ospreay’s face!

Davis reels Ospreay in, puts him up top, and then throws sumo style palm strikes! Ospreay sputters, the fans rally, but Davis climbs up. Davis brings Ospreay to the very top, but Ospreay fires body shots! Ospreay sends Davis down, then springboards, PIP PIP CHEERIO! Direct hit and Davis bails out, but Ospreay kips up! Atlanta fires up but Callis coaches Davis while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Ospreay aims, but Davis hurries up to HOTSHOT him first! Ospreay staggers away and Davis soaks up heat while going around the outside. Davis storms up the steel steps to get back in the ring, and he brings Ospreay up, only for Ospreay to KICK, KICK, and KICK! Ospreay whips, Davis reverses, but Ospreay wheelbarrows and steps through! Ospreay has the legs for a FIGURE FOUR! Davis endures and tries to pry the hold open, but Ospreay slaps the trapping leg back down! Davis grits his teeth but his shoulders are down for a cover! TWO, and Davis crawls backwards. Davis drags Ospreay along, and manages the ROPEBREAK!

Ospreay lets the hold go, then he grabs the legs, only for Davis to BOOT him away! Both men scramble to their feet, and Davis CHOPS Ospreay! And CHOPS him again! Ospreay blocks the next, then wrenches the arm to grab the leg! SHIN BREAKER, then a leg sweep! Ospreay steps through again, and it’s back to the FIGURE FOUR! Davis endures all over again, but he powers up to turn things over! Now Ospreay endures, and he crawls his way to the ROPEBREAK! The hold is undone, and both men slowly rise. Ospreay fires a forearm, Davis fires a CHOP, and Dynamite goes to break.

Dynamite returns as Davis soaks up heat. Davis storms up on Ospreay to CHOP! And CHOP! But Ospreay CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Davis shoves Ospreay to then CHOP LARIAT in the corner! Davis bumps Ospreay off buckles, then reels him in for a DRAGON SUPLEX! Ospreay goes flying, and then Davis adds a KNEE! Davis isn’t done with Ospreay, he pulls on the arms to then KNEE DROP! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up as Ospreay survives, but Davis reels him in. Ospreay grabs a leg to CLUB it! Ospreay runs, but into a CHOP! Davis whips, Ospreay handsprings, and NEURALIZER KICK! The fans fire up as Davis goes down!

Davis goes out to the ramp, but Ospreay fires the fans up more! “BRUV! BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay takes aim to PLANCHA! Down goes Davis again and Ospreay high-fives Atlanta! Ospreay storms back up on Davis, puts him in the ring, then goes up the corner. Ospreay springboards, but Davis catches him! Fireman’s carry and- NO, Ospreay slips free to SUPERKICK! Ospreay swats the lariat to HOOK KICK! Ospreay then springboards, OSCUTTER! Cover, TWO! Davis survives, and Callis was almost in the ring to stop it! The fans boo Callis, Callis tells them to shut up, but Ospreay throws the elbow pad away!

Ospreay aims, runs up, but Davis LARIATS first! Ospreay stays up, and he fires a flurry of palm strikes! But Davis LARIATS again! Ospreay stumbles, Davis hops on, SATELLITE PILEDRIVER?! Cover, TWO!!! Ospreay survives that wild attack, but Davis snarls as he goes to a corner. Davis RIPS a buckle pad away! The fans boo but Davis storms back up on Ospreay. Davis drags Ospreay up, but the ref notices the bare buckle! The ref wont’ let Davis get that one! The ref and Davis argue, Ospreay HIDDEN BLADES!! Cover, Ospreay wins!!

Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall

Callis wanted Dunkzilla to be his “Ospreay Killer,” but the underhanded tactic did not work out! As for Ospreay, he grabs a mic to say, “Oh, yes, bruv! Atlanta! Oh my God, it’s like a little party in here, right? And Don. Seeing as you like to crash the party and you’re a little bit of a party pooper, I’ve got a new best friend back there who I’m teaming up with in Australia Grand Slam.” The fans chant for “KENNY! KENNY!” and here he comes! Callis is already panicking! Callis finds his way out into the crowd to run away as Omega makes his way down to the ring. Omega stands with Ospreay as the fans cheer him on.

Omega says, “Now, we’ve been here a couple times now, but I don’t remember a reception quite like that. So thank you very much, Atlanta.” Omega says this was meant to be a celebration for Ospreay, but Omega must get this off his chest. Omega tells Davis that man to man, Omega has no clue what Ospreay has on him, but trust Omega. Even though it might be scary, even though it might seem hopeless, help is there, and there are people you can trust. The fans cheer that. Omega says in a little over a week, Omega makes his AEW in-ring return with Grand Slam: Australia. But listening to these voices made him get that itch so he had to come out here in person, if they don’t mind.

The fans cheer more, and now Kyle and Konosuke storm out here! Callis tells them to stand down, they still have their tag match with Brody King & Buddy Matthews. Omega tells them all that they’ve done this song ‘n’ dance already. If the Callis Family wants this right here, right now, then go ahead. Omega’s an EVP again, they’ve got nothing but time. But if not… Then Omega suggests they pack their bags, hop on a jet, train, and get ready for Brisbane, Australia! Grand Slam, Ospreay & Omega VS Fletcher & Takeshita! It has been a long time since people could really feel what Omega was feeling in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023!

And now that Omega is BACK here in 2025, all the fans will get to feel the exact same things! Next week, it won’t just be a match for fun or to prove they’re better. This is the match to prove that the future of AEW lies not with those cowering on the ramp, but those right here in this ring! The fans cheer, and Omega says it may have been almost a year, but if they know the words, say it with him. He must bid you adieu, so goodbye, MWAH! And goodnight, BANG! Pyro goes off, and even Omega is surprised! But will it be no surprise when the Best Bout Bruvs bring down Don Callis’ cronies?

 

The Hurt Syndicate is here!

Atlanta chants along, “We Hurt~ People!” as Montel Vontavious Porter and the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, make their way to the ring. MVP makes sure to say hey to Westside Gunn as he hangs out ringside. MVP then grabs a mic to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, ATLiens, and the AEW viewing audience, this is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. Right now, I need everybody to stand on their feet and respect for the Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin, The All Mighty, Bobby Lashley, your NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions!” The fans do stand and cheer, and MVP says that sounds good.

MVP says he’ll keep this short and sweet because they have to hop on the jet and head to New Orleans for the Super Bowl. MVP has to give props to Private Party. Two young, talented athletes with a very bright future, but they were just the wrong people in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was not their fault that they had to face the most devastating duo in ALL of pro-wrestling today! And MVP would like to put everyone else on notice: If you are an AEW athlete, if you are a champion, get ready. Because when the Hurt Syndicate chooses to come see you, they will hurt you and take your title!

But until that time, they’re open for business. And if you would like an opportunity to face them for the tag team championships, then- Wait. That music… “By order of the Bang Bang Gang… GUNNS UP!” Austin & Colten are here! But Lashley & Shelton don’t even bother looking at them, even as Austin & Colten walk down the ramp. Austin has the mic to say they mean no disrespect. But if they’re businessmen, then Austin & Colten would like to talk business. MVP says they don’t look like businessmen, and certainly aren’t dressed like it, but MVP says they’re at least conducting themselves as men, so go ahead. Step up and state your business.

Austin & Colten join the Hurt Syndicate in the ring, and Austin says before getting to the business, Gunns Up for the Atlanta Gold Members~! And to properly introduce themselves, they are The Gunns, former AEW World Tag Team Champions. They have been waiting TWO YEARS to get a rematch, and the only reason The Hurt Syndicate has those titles now is because Austin & Colten have been gone. But guess what? They’re back, baby! Colten says, “Oh, you guys hurt~ people~? Well, congrats on doing your jobs. That’s kinda what this business is about. But now it’s time for us to do our job, which is take back our tag team titles!”

MVP says he’ll tell them what. He appreciates the moxie and respects the courage. But he also respects their father, and if not for that, these two monsters would’ve already choked the Gunns out. But MVP is about business. He shakes hands with the Gunns, and says next week, for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, it’ll be the Hurt Syndicate VS the Ass Boys. The Syndicate moves on, and Austin says, “Ass Boys? Hey, Ass Boys? Y’know what? YOU GADDAMN RIGHT WE ARE! And if you’re not down with that, we got two words for ya! GUNNS UP!!” Austin & Colten no longer let words hurt them, but will a fight with Lashley & Shelton hurt well enough?

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

At least, Renee is hoping to speak with The CEO. Instead, Muppet Mone pops in! “Atlanta~! Say hello to your C E O~! Renee, I have exciting news! This Saturday on Collision, Harley Cameron will be live in concert~!” Harley pops in and wow, she’ll be live in concert for a “Harley Halftime in Houston” special? Yes! What an amazing idea, Mercedes, that you totally came up with. Thanks! And y’know what? Muppet Mone isn’t such a dummy. She doesn’t get it. Of course not. But Harley says this is fantastic! They’re making up! Muppet Mone says she does want to apologize, she was so awful to Harley last week.

Um, real Mercedes Mone is walking out from her locker room. Mone asks Harley, “Are you stupid? Or are you dumb?” Renee says she’s glad to see Mone is here, she wants to talk Grand Slam and how she still doesn’t have an opponent. Harley did get her first win on TV, so maybe they can talk her trajectory. Mone says aw, Harley got her first victory, how cute. Mone remembers her first-ever win. And she also remembers the feeling of winning her first championship at the age of 23. And the feeling of winning another, and another, and then this title. And the TBS Championship is saying that Mone is the GREATEST TBS Champion ever!

And Harley? Well, she’s nothing but a loser. And losers don’t get to ride the Money Train! Mone SNATCHES Muppet Mone off Harley’s hand, to reveal a middle finger! Mone storms off, Renee hides the middle finger, but it’s a strong one. What will it take for Harley to force Mone into a Grand Slam showdown?

 

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

AEW returns as Renee is now with The Cowboy, and she wants to follow up with him from last week. It seemed like Hangman was in pursuit of Swerve Strickland. Hangman says that was nothing. No, y’know what that was? That was a moment of weakness! It was a mistake! And that is all he’ll say on that, and Renee will not asking about it again, understood? Renee says okay, but then two weeks ago, Christopher Daniels came out to say that after their Texas Deathmatch, the damage was so severe that he had to retire from in-ring action. Correct her if she’s wrong, but there appeared to be regret on Hangman’s face.

Hangman simply says, “No.” Hangman says Daniels overstepped, overplayed his hand, and accepted a deathmatch with The Hangman. Hangman did what he said he would, and he hurt Daniels so badly that Daniels will never wrestle again! And Hangman does not regret- Wait, Max Caster speaks up? He wants Renee to have Hangman wrap this up. Caster’s been waiting! Caster respects Hangman, and what he did to Daniels was actually awesome, that was so brutal. Daniels had the neck brace and everything. What if Hangman did that to Anthony Bowens? Caster would do it himself, but he’s busy with his Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge.

Hey, what if Hangman hospitalized Billy Gunn? Hangman says Caster is on to something. Hangman would love to hospitalize someone tonight. But uh, Hangman doesn’t see Bowens and he doesn’t see Billy, but… Caster’s here. Y-Yeah! Okay, thank you for your time, he’ll just be going to his car. Caster leaves, Hangman says he’ll come with. Will Platinum Max ever learn how to not stick his foot in his mouth?

 

Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher VS Brody King & Buddy Matthews!

As we saw earlier tonight, The Alpha & Aussie Arrow want after Ospreay & Omega something fierce, but they’re going to wait until AEW arrives in Brisbane. As for the Hounds of Hell, they’re ready to take a bite out of any and every champion in AEW, so Konosuke’s on their list. Will Brody & Buddy build momentum going into Grand Slam: Australia? Or will the Don Callis Family be ready for the Best Bout Bruvs?

The teams sort out and Kyle starts against Buddy for a showdown of Aussies. The bell rings, Kyle and Buddy stare down and the fans fire up. Kyle and Buddy feel things out, tie up, and Buddy wrenches to a wristlock. Kyle rolls, wrenches back, and hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Kyle clamps onto the wristlock but Buddy rolls, rolls, and wrenches back. Buddy YANKS the arm, then YANKS the arm again! Kyle endures, rolls, and he wrenches in return. Kyle has the wristlock, tells the fans to shut up, but Buddy spins through and headlocks for a takeover! Buddy grinds Kyle down to a cover, ONE, and Kyle headscissors.

Buddy kips up, avoids a leg sweep, then headlocks again. Kyle powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, but Kyle hits a headlock takeover. Buddy headscissors but Kyle kips free, then Kyle ducks ‘n’ dodges. Kyle sunset flips, Buddy rolls through, and Kyle avoids the Penalty Kick! The fans cheer the standoff, and then Kyle tags Konosuke. The fans rally up as Konosuke and Buddy circle. They knuckle lock, Buddy waistlocks, but Konosuke switches. Buddy switches, they switch again and again, and Buddy powers Konosuke to ropes. Brody tags in before Konosuke bucks the O’Conner Roll, and while Konosuke stares Buddy down, Brody steps in.

The fans bark and Brody CHOPS Konosuke down! And CHOPS him down again! Brody eggs Konosuke on, so Konosuke fires haymakers! Brody CHOPS back down! Kyle storms in and CLUBS Brody, but Brody CHOPS Kyle down! Brody storms up on Konosuke but Konosuke bails out. Brody keeps on Konosuke, sending him into apron, then into railing! Buddy runs up on Kyle to SMACK him off the apron! Brody ROCKS Konosuke, Konosuke hits back! Brody CHOPS Konosuke and he stumbles. Buddy UPPERCUTS Kyle into taking a seat, Brody CHOPS Konosuke again. Brody whips Konosuke into railing, and then Brody CHOPS Kyle!

Brody CHOPS Konosuke to make him take a seat on Kyle’s lap! Buddy gets a second chair so Konosuke can sit side-by-side with Kyle, and Brody runs in! DOUBLE CROSSBODY against barriers! Atlanta fires up with The Hounds, and Kyle sputters on the floor. The fans want that “One More Time!” but Brody CHOPS Konosuke down again! The ref says to get this in the ring, but Brody puts Konosuke and Kyle together on one chair! Brody runs up, DOUBLE CROSSBODY against barriers! The fans fire up even more, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Brody tosses the chairs aside to then drag Konosuke up and into the ring. Brody storms in after Konosuke, but Kyle anchors his foot! The ref stops Buddy from stepping in, so Buddy tries to point this out to the ref! But Konosuke BOOTS Brody down first! Kyle soaks up heat while he flexes, and Konosuke drags Brody up. Konosuke bumps Brody off buckles, then climbs up to rain down fists! Konosuke goes to five before he BITES Brody’s forehead! The ref counts, Konosuke stops, but Brody CHOPS him! Konosuke ROCKS Brody with a forearm, then put shim in the Callis corner. Tag to Kyle, and Kyle brings Brody out, only for Brody to CHOP!

Konosuke grabs Brody, he and Kyle mug Brody, then Kyle digs his boots in. The ref reprimands, Kyle steps off at 4, then Kyle sucker punches Buddy! The ref stops Buddy, but this lets Kyle and Konosuke stomp away on Brody! Konosuke CHOKES Brody on the ropes, then steps away to tag in. But Brody fights against Konosuke and Kyle! Kyle ROCKS Brody, then he and Konosuke DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER! And then DOUBLE BASEMENT DROPKICK! Brody is down, Konosuke & Kyle soak up more heat, and Kyle even mocks the barking. Konosuke drags Brody up to hit a NECKBREAKER! Konosuke facelocks, and he grinds Brody down.

Dynamite returns to single picture, and Brody fights up, to power Konosuke back! Konosuke holds on and throws knees to back Brody down! Konosuke ROCKS Brody, runs in, but Brody ROCKS him first! And he CHOPS Kyle down! The fans fire up as Brody storms up, but Konosuke ducks the lariat! Brody reaches for Buddy but Konosuke holds on! Brody fires elbows, but Konosuke dodges to BOOT Buddy! But then Brody LARIATS Konosuke! The fans fire up, Brody snarls as he brings Konosuke back up, but Konosuke ROCKS Brody first! Brody fights the saido, but Konosuke GERMAN SUPLEXES! Brody’s right back up!?

Brody hits a ROLLING ELBOW, then he gut wrenches Konosuke! Konosuke slips free, ducks ‘n’ dodges, DOUBLE LARIATS take both men down! But then both men are back up! They roar, but then fall back down! The fans are thunderous and barking as Brody and Konosuke stir. The standing count climbs, but we get hot tags to Kyle and Buddy! Buddy LARIATS, ELBOWS, and QUICK DRAW NECKBREAKERS Kyle! Kyle still gets up, but Buddy ducks ‘n’ dodges to CALF KICK! The fans fire up as Buddy fires a strike fest on Kyle! Stomp to the foot, KNEE to the head! Kyle flops to the apron and the fans fire up for Buddy!

Winners: Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall

Callis is the only one happy about this, and he says, “On to Grand Slam we go!” Will we see this level of devastation happen to even Ospreay & Omega?

 

Samoa Joe & Hook walk the halls.

The Samoan Submission Specialist asks if the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil is ready, and Hook says yeah. But wait, where’s “Speak ‘n’ Spell” Shibata? Hook says Shibata’s back in Japan. But what’s going on? Joe says when people wrap steel around his skull, he tends to get emotional. Hook says Joe once said himself, if you’re furious, you can’t be focused. Joe is annoyed Hook is using his own stuff against him. But they still find The Patriarchy’s locker room. Joe tells Hook he can take lead. Hook storms up and opens the door, but in their way is Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian. Joe asks them, “Where is your daddy?”

Nick says Christian isn’t here right now. Do they have a problem, though? Nah, Joe & Hook can come back when Christian’s here. Kip says yeah, jog on. But then Joe says, “Or… We can leave a message.” Joe & Hook attack Nick & Kip! Joe SMACKS Nick off the locker while Hook hammers away on Kip! Christian Cage & Shayna Wayne walk in now, see what’s going on, and turn right around! Some father he is… Joe tells them to tell “Daddy” that he says hi. Joe & Hook leave and now Christian steps into the locker room, acting as if he didn’t know what happened. Christian pushes the cameraman out of there, was the message received?

 

MJF is here!

The Devil went down to Georgia, looking for a soul to steal, but seems so did this scumbag. MJF has them cut his music, and he calls out “Geriatric Jeff Jarrett!” All Jeff had to do was stay out of the way of a young, fast-rising, incredibly handsome, humble star, and he just couldn’t do that, could he? No, no, no, and that is why MJF had to teach Jeff a lesson. That lesson is as follows: in AEW, the “E” stands for “Elite.” Not “elderly!” MJF laughs at his own dumb joke, and then says that now that the “carny shmuck” is out of the way, MJF is one step closer to once again obtaining his Triple B! The fans boo that.

MJF says because ain’t nobody on the level of the Devil! Wait, Caster? What’s he doing here? MJF tells Caster to scram, but Caster is pointing to who he’s running from! MJF doesn’t care, this is his time, no Caster’s. But wait! Here comes Hangman! The Cowboy storms in, Caster runs but MJF stands his ground! Hangman stares MFJ down, then pushes past him to go chase Caster through the crowd! MJF asks if this is for real right now. This is his time! But the fans like #CowboyS*it, huh? Well, before he was so rudely interrupted by a talentless, worthless hack… Ain’t nobody- The fans tell MJF to STFU!

MJF does his best to finish his catchphrase, but now DUSTIN RHODES is here! The fans fire up as The Natural heads to the ring but MJF has them cut the music. The dual ROH World Tag Team & Six Man Tag Team Champion steps into the ring, MJF tells him that he was talking, but Dustin tells MJF to shut his stupid trap! All MJF does is come out here and badmouth everybody in the back, degrade them, and even talk about people who aren’t even here anymore, like Dustin’s friend, Owen Hart. MJF scoffs and turns around, but Dustin tells him to look him in the eyes, “you SOB!” Dustin suggests MJF keep Owen’s name out of his mouth, or else Dustin kicks MJF’s teeth in!

The fans fire up, and Dustin tells MJF to stop talking about people’s wives, about people’s pasts, their issues with drugs and alcohol. Dustin is one of those! 16 years clean ‘n’ sober, after going straight to Hell, looking the Devil in his eyes, and kicking his ass! Dustin crawls out of Hell, and he knows MJF ain’t the devil. MJF has all the potential in the world, yet he chooses to go to these dark places. There is a reason Dustin is still here at 55 years old, hanging with everybody on this roster! It is because he is a survivor! Dustin IS the Last of His Kind! Because Dustin has survived everything! Whatever MJF can think of, Dustin’s been though, boy!

The fans cheer but MJF doesn’t seem to care. Dustin tells MJF that when Dustin is gone, the mold will be broken forever. Dustin IS better than you, “and your punk b*tch ass freakin’ knows it!” The fans fire up for Dustin, but MJF says okay, okay, time out. Everybody, bravo, give it up for Dustin Rhodes! MJF applauds and says that was incredible. But MJF has to say, the part where Dustin said he is better than MJF? That was interesting. MJF imagines all those years of Dustin being a worthless drug addict turned his brain into Swiss cheese to come to that realization. But allow MJF to smarten Dustin and all these people on what Dustin’s all about.

“Dustin Rhodes is the man that took 37 long, hard, arduous years of blood, sweat and tears… Just to get out from understand his daddy’s shadow.” The fans boo and MJF says that struck a nerve with “Goldy,” didn’t it? MJF has a better one. The fans chant, “Whoop His Ass!” but MJF says what’s so sad about the whole thing, is that after all that hard work and sacrifice, now Dustin lives in the shadow of his baby brother! Dustin DECKS MJF! The fans fire up as Dustin stands MJF up and they throw more hands! Security rushes in here but the fans boo! “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Even Jerry Lynn gets out here!

Jerry tries to calm Dustin down, but Dustin breaks free to CLOBBER MJF! The fans fire up but MJF bails out the side! Dustin is fuming but MJF jukes the security! AND LOW BLOWS DUSTIN!! The fans boo as MJF stands over Dustin, a stupid grin on his face. MJF takes his leave for real this time, but now Christopher Daniels gets in his way. MJF tells Daniels not to touch him, but then realizes who he’s talking to. Hangman sure did a number on Daniels, didn’t he? MJF goes to the back, Daniels seethes, but will someone, anyone, ever humble the Wolf of Wrestling?

 

Mariah May is here!

The Glamour promised she’d watch as her former mentor battled her first-ever AEW opponent once again. But will Mariah like the outcome? Or will it be a repeat performance? Wait, Justin Roberts has a script to read from for Toni’s entrance? “Playing the role of The Glamour, Mariah May… Timeless Toni Storm!” Mariah has no idea what that means, but then her music plays again! And yes, much as when Mariah used to cosplay as Rockstar Toni, Toni is cosplaying as Mariah! Toni struts around, has obvious hair extensions, and perhaps does a bit more teasing with the finger and lips than Mariah does, but everyone else says that’s spot on!

Mariah is seething more and more the more Toni walks around, but will this still be a smash hit of a parody?

Toni Storm VS Queen Aminata!

The bell rings, Toni and Aminata circle, and they tie up. They’re in a deadlock, then break, and Toni tosses her hair and struts around some more. Aminata and Toni reset, tie up, and Toni headlocks. Toni hits a takeover, grinds the hold, and Mariah refuses to play along. Aminata headscissors, Toni shrugs it off, but Aminata gets the headscissors again. Toni moves around, kips free, but Aminata headlocks. Aminata grinds the hold, hits a takeover, but Toni headscissors. Aminata kips free, the two reset, and we see Serena Deeb watching backstage. Will The Professor of Pro-Wrestling think Aminata has passed the test?

Aminata waistlocks, headlocks, wrenches and then steps over to twerk attack! The fans cheer, Toni says, “How DARE you!” Toni SLAPS Aminata, kicks low, then scoops for the SPIN OUT SIDEWALK SLAM! Aminata drop toeholds Toni onto ropes! The fans rally, Aminata runs, but Toni dodges the boot! Toni runs to HIP ATTACK Aminata to the floor! The fans cheer as Toni does more mocking of Mariah before she fetches Aminata into the ring. Toni tosses her hair more, and Mariah seethes again, but Aminata DIVES onto Toni! Direct hit and Aminata mocks the Timeless closeup! The fans cheer, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Aminata realizes she has some of Toni’s hair extensions on her so she brushes those off. Aminata then fetches Toni for a headlock, and she runs her into barriers! Toni staggers away, Aminata refreshes the ring count, and Aminata storms up on Toni by commentary. Aminata SMACKS Toni off the desk, and Mariah turns away so as not to watch this. Aminata CHOPS Toni against the desk! Toni falls over dramatically, Aminata refreshes the ring count, but Toni hits back! Toni CLUBS Aminata, CLUBS her again, then CHOPS! Aminata ROCKS Toni, puts her in the ring, then scuffs her in the ropes. Aminata scuffs Toni again, but Toni fires back!

Toni runs, but Aminata LARIATS her down! Aminata soaks up cheers and jeers, then pushes Toni to a cover, TWO! Toni toughs it out but Aminata looms over her. Aminata snapmares Toni, runs, and PENALTY KICKS! Cover, TWO! Aminata grows frustrated but she sits Toni up for a chinlock. Toni endures, even as Aminata leans on her. Mariah is further annoyed as Aminata KNEES Toni in the back again and again! Aminata clamps on body scissors, and she squeezes tight. Aminata turns Toni over for a Gedo Clutch, TWO! Aminata turns Toni the other way, Gedo Clutch, TWO! Aminata shifts to have a leg hook FULL NELSON!

Toni endures, even as Aminata has knuckle locks to pull on the arms. Dynamite returns to single picture as Toni powers back to a cover, TWO! Toni ROCKS Aminata, ROCKS her again, then fires off forearms again and again! The fans fire up as Toni fires off TEN! Mariah still refuses to accept Toni’s copycat. For one, Toni is missing two very obvious elements. Toni puts Aminata up top, DOUBLE CHOPS her, then frolics around a la Mariah. Toni runs, goes up, and hits STRATUSFACTION! Then a SHOTGUN! Cover, TWO! Mariah mocks Toni being dramatic. Toni drags Aminata up, reels her in, but Aminata trips her to a jackknife bridge, TWO!

Toni CHOPS, but Aminata grins. Aminata CHOPS Toni, Toni CHOPS back! The fans rally, the CHOPS keep going, then Toni SLAPS Aminata! Aminata SLAPS Toni! Toni SLAPS again! Aminata runs up, but Toni wrenches, kicks, and whips! Aminata goes up and over, then GERMAN SUPLEXES! Toni tumbles and more hair extensions fall away! Aminata runs and the fans fire up for the BOOT WASH! Aminata again mocks the closeup, then she drags Toni in for a cover, TWO! Mariah says Toni is playing the role of Mariah, Aminata is apparently Timeless, where does it all end? Aminata drags Toni up, Alabama Lifts, but Toni turns that into a DDT!

Toni hurries to run, and she KNEES Aminata to a corner! Then Toni gives us a proper closeup, for the SWEET HIP MUSIC! Then Toni makes sure Mariah sees this as she fireman’s carries, MAYDAY DRIVER! Cover, Toni wins!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall

Mariah is fuming all over again, but Toni proves that anything Mariah can do, Toni can do better. Renee joins Toni in the ring to interview her. But then Toni wants Renee to play along and call her “Mariah,” The Woman From Hell. “And I stand on the neck of every woman in this division. And there’s not a woman alive that can touch me!” Mariah has had it! Mariah storms off commentary to get in the ring! Toni offers her a chance, but then Mariah storms back out to grab her belt and leave. Will Toni get the better of Mariah when they finally have their rematch?

 

Dustin Rhodes speaks.

“For 37 years, people have been chipping away, trying to put me in the ground. I’m still here! Maxwell Jacob Friedman, I live for blood, sweat and tears! I am the Last of My Kind! I’m around for a reason, boy! And next Tuesday night, Austin Texas, MY backyard, this ain’t New York City, this ain’t Long Island, I’m gonna beat your ass! B*TCH!” The Natural has put MJF on notice, but will everything be bigger in Texas?

 

The Learning Tree is on stage.

Chris Jericho, Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” are here, and Jericho says, “Hi, guys~! And welcome to a very special, first-time-live edition of The New York Minute with me, Chris Jericho!” The fans boo but Keith shouts, “RESPECT CHRIS JERICHO!” Jericho says they are here in Georgia, the Big ALT! Um, no… Keith says it stands for, “APPRECIATE LEARNING TREE!” Jericho is pretty sure he speaks for everyone here in ALT when he says he doesn’t know how Bandido decided he’s a Wanted Man returning on Collision. No one here wants Bandido in AEW! But since he’s back, Jericho will turn this into a teachable moment.

“Bandido, apparently there’s a $100,000 on your head. But since I’m standing here with an actual Bounty Hunter, this week on Collision on Saturday-” The fans tell Jericho STFU, but he says no swearing! Jericho promises to double the bounty to $200,000 if Keith can do to Bandido what Big Bill has done to “Powerhouse” Hobbs! Bill tells Hobbs that wherever he is, Bill hopes- WAIT! Hobbs is here!! And Hobbs runs up to brawl with all of The Learning Tree! The fans fire up, but this 3v1 isn’t going Hobbs’ way! But wait! The Outrunners run out here! Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum want payback for being cheated last Saturday!

The fans cheer as the fight is now even! Bill brawls with Hobbs, Jericho & Keith brawl with Truth & Turbo, but security hurries out here! Fan want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” Bill grabs one guard by his neck! But then he sees Hobbs doing the same with another security guard. Bill gives his guard a SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM to the floor! Hobbs gives his guard a POWERHOUSE CHOKE SLAM to the floor! The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as both men storm into the ring! They circle, then they start throwing hands! The fans fire up, and Hobbs TACKLES Bill to the apron! But Bill drags Hobbs to the floor!

Bill CLUBS Hobbs, but Hobbs SPINEBUSTERS Bill onto the desk, and then over it! They still scrap on the floor! Atlanta fires up as Hobbs HAMMERS Bill, then stands up. Bill staggers to his feet, Hobbs fires more hands, and the cameraman is collateral! Refs rush out, Dynamite goes to break, and this has been a New York Minute! But when and where will Hobbs and Bill settle things once and for all?

 

Ricochet VS Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana!

This fight has been a long time coming, and the animosity only escalated with every week we had to wait! The One & Only is no longer pretending to be a hero, now he’s living the life of an American Psycho. But will that be enough to be the most dangerous man in AEW? Or will even Atlanta be “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”

But Ricochet attacks from behind during Swerve’s entrance, and with a chair! The fans boo but Ricochet says this is because of them! And he SMACKS Swerve again! The ref reprimands, but there’s nothing he can really do since this isn’t a match yet! Ricochet SMACKS Swerve again! The fans rally for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” while Ricochet stalks Swerve. Ricochet puts Swerve in the ring, stands over him, and tells him that this is Ricochet’s House now! Swerve SLAPS Ricochet! The fans fire up, the bell rings, and Ricochet comes back to JUMP KNEE! Dragon sleeper, VERTIGO!! Cover, TWO!!

Swerve survives and Ricochet is stunned! Ricochet goes back to a corner, but Swerve crawls up to him! Ricochet kicks Swerve down, then hits a BACKBREAKER! The fans boo but Ricochet stands Swerve up to ROCK him! Ricochet scoops for another BACKBREAKER, but the fans taunt him with, “You Are Bald!” Ricochet CLUBS Swerve, dragon sleepers, but Swerve slips around to put Ricochet on ropes. Ricochet fires hands, Swerve fights back, and Swerve whips. Ricochet ducks ‘n’ dodges, jumps over the dropdown, then he SHOTGUNS Swerve as Swerve tries to hurdle! Swerve tumbles out of the ring, Ricochet builds speed, and Ricochet DIVES!

Swerve is sent into barriers, but then Ricochet whips him hard into railing! Ricochet soaks up heat from the fans, then he drags Swerve up to push against barriers. Ricochet hops up onto the barriers, then brings Swerve up. The fans step back a bit, and Ricochet reels Swerve in. Swerve fights the lift, throws body shots, but Ricochet throws hands! They both throw haymakers, the ring count climbs, and Ricochet gets the edge. Ricochet goes up, but Swerve stops the rana to BARRIER BOMB!! Ricochet falls in a heap and the fans lose their minds! Nana cheers Swerve on as the true and only champion that matters!

Swerve stalks Ricochet, puts him in the ring, and Nana keeps the “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” chant going. Swerve storms up on Ricochet, bumps him off buckles, then has him under the corner. Swerve rips the crossbar’s padding away, to GUILLOTINE CATAPULT Ricochet into it! The fans fire up again while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Swerve scowls while Ricochet sputters. Swerve stalks Ricochet around the corner, stomps him down, then fishhooks him into standing up. Swerve fireman’s carries Ricochet to then hit SNAKE EYES off the railing! Swerve then puts Ricochet against the apron to fire hands! Swerve puts some stank on it before he SLAPS Ricochet’s bald head! Swerve puts Ricochet in, stomps him again and again, then gets Atlanta really fired up. Swerve ELBOWS Ricochet down, then stalks him to a corner. Swerve climbs up to shine Ricochet’s head! Then SLAPS him again and again! The ref counts as Swerve keeps slapping!

Swerve reels Ricochet in for an Atomic BACKBREAKER! Ricochet writhes from being bent back against Swerve’s shoulder, but then Swerve drops a knee! Swerve drags Ricochet up, bumps him off buckles, then UPPERCUTS! Swerve snapmares again, then goes up to FALLING UPPERCUT! Swerve hits the Griddy as ATL cheers him on. Swerve then digs his boot into Ricochet at the ropes. The ref counts, Swerve steps off, and he looms over Ricochet again. Ricochet tries to push Swerve away but Swerve grabs an arm. Ricochet throws hands from below so Swerve KICKS him around! Swerve ROCKS Ricochet, and Dynamite returns to single picture.

Swerve throws hands on Ricochet again and again, then whips him to a corner. Swerve UPPERCUTS in the corner, snapmares him again, then goes back up. But Ricochet stands to kick the legs out! Swerve is stuck in ropes, and Ricochet hits as DRAPING CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Ricochet rains down fists, then growls in frustration. The fans rally but Ricochet brings Swerve up. Ricochet swings Swerve into a BACKBREAKER, then he basement DROPKICKS Swerve in the back! Ricochet keeps moving, and he FALLING AX HANDLES! Fans make up a new chant, “Who’s Bald?” “RICOCHET!”

Ricochet is annoyed, but he brings Swerve up. Ricochet ROCKS Swerve, but Swerve ROCKS him back! Swerve ROCKS Ricochet again, but Ricochet knees low, then CLUBS Swerve on the neck! Ricochet CHOPS Swerve, but Swerve eggs him on! Ricochet CHOPS again, then runs, but into an UPPERCUT! Swerve runs, but Ricochet Tiger Wall Kicks, SOBATS, and KNEES Swerve down! The fans boo but Ricochet brings Swerve in. Swerve slips free of the bomb to lift Ricochet, but Ricochet slips free of the bomb! Ricochet wrenches, tucks and lifts, then fireman’s carries! Swerve slips free to do the same, and POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO!

Ricochet survives and Swerve grows frustrated. Swerve stalks Ricochet, full nelsons, but Ricochet fights it! Ricochet grabs the ref, but Swerve stops the low blow! Ricochet grabs ropes now, but Swerve YANKS him back into a GERMAN SUPLEX! Swerve then somersaults and FLATLINERS! Eddy Gordo roll, HOUSE CALL!! The fans are thunderous and Swerve says that’s not enough! Swerve goes up top, for the KILL STOMPS!! Cover, TWO?!? Ricochet survives and shocks Swerve! Swerve stalks Ricochet to the apron, the fans rally up, and Swerve fireman’s carries. Ricochet slips free to HOTSHOT Swerve, then HOTSHOT again!

Ricochet says he does what he wants! Ricochet triangle jumps, but the rana slips off target! Ricochet improvises to APRON GERMAN SUPLEX! Swerve flops down, the fans boo, but Ricochet hurries to get Swerve back in. Ricochet springboards for the 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Swerve survives but Ricochet hurries right back up! Ricochet aims, and he SHOOTING STAR PRESSES Swerve’s back! Cover, TWO!! Swerve survives again and Ricochet is beside himself! Ricochet goes to a corner, but he locks ‘n’ loads! SPIRIT- HOUSE CALL!! Swerve is all fired up and so is Atlanta! Swerve goes up top, for another KILL STOMP LOW BLOW?!

The ref isn’t sure what to make of it, Ricochet simply put his hands up to guard! It still gets Swerve in a bad spot, and Ricochet grins! Ricochet reloads, SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

A lot of controversy in that finish, and Ricochet grabs the robe! Nana also has it, but Ricochet SHOVES Nana down! Ricochet wears the Mogul Embassy robe, adding insult to injury as he takes his leave. Swerve is seething, but is AEW going to be #OuttaThisWorld from now on?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite, but with some new head-scratcher story moves. Mark Davis being the new Don Callis Family member would’ve worked better if this was months ago. Davis has been hanging around, but we barely got any interactions of him and Kyle or Don Callis, so there were no hints at Davis wanting to turn. That doesn’t make this surprise surprising, it makes it confusing. Ospreay VS Davis was still good stuff, and we still got a good promo from Ospreay with Omega to add to the Grand Slam tag match. Speaking of, great tag match of Konosuke & Kyle VS Brody & Buddy, but very fitting that Okada would screw Buddy over now that their title match is happening. As I said for Collision, Okada VS Buddy is going to be awesome, even if Buddy still loses.

Then there’s The Gunns challenging The Hurt Syndicate for the tag titles. It’s not even so much that the Gunns don’t deserve a title match, or that they and the Hurt Syndicate won’t put on a good title match, it’s just… We literally opened tonight with Jay White, leader of the Bang Bang Gang and friend of The Gunns. Why aren’t The Gunns helping Jay White against The Death Riders? Why isn’t it 6v4, but then the trios titles become the reason the Bang Bang Gang doesn’t quite help out Rated FTR like they should? I want to be frustrated for reasons that are perfectly in story, not because the story itself is lacking.

Though to that point, the Death Riders VS AEW story really should’ve been all encompassing. It felt like it was going to be that when this all started, with how Garcia, Private Party, Dark Order, and a lot of others were standing together against The Death Riders, but then it all fell apart because we still needed things like Garcia VS Perry for the TNT title and such. White & Cope VS Moxley & Claudio in a “Brisbane Brawl” No Disqualifications match will still be great stuff, and surely that compels Moxley to face Cope 1v1. I still think we need Christian Cage to get back on this story given his Casino Gauntlet contract.

Christian Cage was hilarious tonight by totally avoiding that beating Joe & Hook gave Kip & Nick. And while Shibata is apparently in Japan, he could come back and we get a Six Man Tag against Patriarchy. Harley Cameron was also hilarious, and between the Muppet Mone and the “Harley Halftime in Houston” segment this Saturday, Mone might be angered into giving Harley the title match for Australia. Toni Storm continues to be a creative genius in her own right where she imitates Mariah for her match with Aminata. Serena Deeb watching the match is another dropped ball TK picked back up, but I guess he kinda had to since Britt Baker didn’t want a feud with Deeb. Britt is a whole different issue, we might not get a real answer on that for some time.

MJF had a good promo, but Dustin showing up was a touch of a surprise. Dustin is upset not just for Jarrett but for the disrespect showing to Owen Hart, but of course MJF gets his own shot on Dustin. MJF VS Dustin will be some good stuff, but surely Double J goes after MJF and we get that match for Revolution. This week’s New York Minute might’ve been the best because it turned into that huge brawl, with the New York Minute graphic still on it. Keith VS Bandido will be good stuff, and surely Bandido wins to set up Bandido VS Jericho for the ROH World Championship. Hobbs and Bill getting to wreck security guards as fun, and they’ll have a great grudge match, too.

Great main event from Swerve and Ricochet, with Ricochet ambushing Swerve as a good start. While Ricochet didn’t get that poison-rana to the apron, that’s just one of those moments where they go just a little too fast and it doesn’t work out. Ricochet still did good improvising with that German Suplex, and then he of course wins with “controversy.” This is certainly going to give us another match, maybe even for Revolution, and they’ll surely turn it up a notch. Honestly, an apron poison-rana is more fitting of a rematch than the first time we see this match in AEW, so this worked out for the better.

My Score: 8.8/10
