Toxic Attraction is here!
Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne stroll out on stage, then head to the ring. They get mics and Gigi starts by saying, “Last week, Toxic Attraction came out here with one purpose: to put an end to the NXT Women’s Champion, Raquel Gonzalez. But Io Shirai and Zoey Stark wanted to come out here and play hero and ruin all our fun. So we left this ring feeling very unsatisfied.” Jacy tells Shirai & Stark that while they want to lead by example and play by all the rules, Torix Attraction couldn’t care less. “We do what we want, when we want. And what we want are the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships.” Shirai & Stark, your days are numbered, and time is up at Halloween Havoc.
Mandy says Gigi & Jacy won’t be the only successful ones at Halloween Havoc. Because Mandy is challenging Raquel for THE NXT Women’s Championship! “Raquel, you got lucky last week. And your luck is coming to an end.” At Halloween Havoc, Toxic Attraction will make history, mark her words. They will all be wearing gold around their pretty little waists. “Oh and one more thing. Brown, blue, black, green, yellow, purple, it don’t matter what hair color I have. I’m still the baddest bitch in the game.” But will their words fall flat when the champions get in the ring with them?
Someone picks up a shovel.
They menacingly walk through the woods with it. “I will bury the past so I can start again.” Halloween Havoc, something wicked this way comes.
Xyon Quinn VS Malik Blade!
The fighter and a gentleman didn’t really wait for the ladies to leave, but they don’t seem to mind. Will Quinn continue to win and make a strong impression on the entire NXT roster with his growing undefeated streak?

That’s Xyon: 4, everyone else: zero! Will this streak continue until Xyon has gold around his own waist?
Backstage interview with Tommaso Ciampa.
Ciampa now only has a 1v1 with Bron Breakker, what are his thoughts? Well he isn’t sure what to make of what happened with Gacy and Harland, but it doesn’t matter. In two weeks, he is dialed in. And what better for his Halloween Havoc debut than defend HIS NXT Championship? This is a big fight, but here come Grizzled Young Veterans. Zack Gibson says mocks the 900 days of “scratching and clawing” to finally get back the title. Honestly, from the bottom of their hearts, they can’t wait to see him lose it to a rookie. Ciampa says from the bottom of his heart- Breakker says the rookie can go right no! Lace ’em up!
Gibson says that is NOT how you talk to veterans. They’re not dressed for a fight, so they’ll leave them to it for now. GYV leaves, Breakker says he’s got Ciampa’s back from now until Halloween Havoc, because Breakker wants to beat Ciampa at his best. Ciampa scowls, will he change Breakker’s choice of words rather forcefully?
Backstage interview with Isaiah “Swerve” Scott.
Ashante is still MIA, and we all saw Legado snatch up Dolla and B-Fab. Swerve wants McKenzie to stop there, he was there. His crew will be alright, they’re soldiers. What they’d want him to do is focus on the mission at hand, and that is Escobar. Speaking of, Escobar’s really trying to bring out the evil spirits. Well guess what? IT WORKED. Escobar doesn’t want to handle Swerve 1v1. Out of every member Hit Row, they left the wrong one standing. Swerve vows to keep this title with him on SmackDown and there ain’t a damn thing Escobar can do to stop him. Will that still be true after Swerve faces a fully intact Legado del Fantasma?
Ivy Nile w/ Diamond Mine VS Valentina Feroz!
The in-ring debut of this young titan has finally arrived! Will she prove to be more ferocious than the Brazilian bird of prey?
NXT returns and Feroz is in the ring. The bell rings, she and Nile circle and Feroz pushes the aggression. Nile shoots in and gets the waistlock, but Feroz switches. Nile switches, Feroz, switches, repeat until Feroz goes for a leg. Nile pries free to waistlock and roll Feroz way. The two reset, Feroz throws Nile down with a judo throw, then shotgun dropkicks! Feroz runs but leaps into Nile’s arms! Nile shifts and pops Feroz up for a stalling suplex! And she kips up, too! Fans fire up seeing agility on top of strength as Nile gets Feroz up and whips her hard into a corner. Nile storms over, drags Feroz by her legs and drops her. Nile then puts Feroz on the bottom buckle to stand on her back!
The ref counts, Nile lets off at 4, then she drags Feroz to center. Feroz kicks with her free leg, gets up and throws body shots, but Nile knees low. Nile scoops and SLAMS Feroz down, then paces around menacingly. Nile gets a leg, rolls through to a fireman’s carry, but Feroz fights it! Feroz tries to get away but Nile just gets her for a torture rack! Nile smirks as she squats and bends Feroz! Diamond Mine loves it as Nile brings her hands together to bend Feroz more! Feroz endures, but she TAPS! Nile wins!
Winner: Ivy Nile, by submission
The titan quite literally crushed it in her debut! Will she only get stronger as she breaks into the NXT Women’s Division?
Bivens gets a mic to say, “My, my, my! That was a message to every single woman here in NXT! And Kushida figured this out a few weeks ago. The pitbull has been unleashed! Ivy Nile has arrived and she didn’t come to play. And you know who else didn’t come to play? The Creed Brothers! Day in and day out, they are in this building, putting in work. And they have proved they are the most dominant tag team in NXT today. And speaking of dominance, allow me to introduce you to YOUR NXT Cruiserweight Champion, Roderiiiiiiick~ STROOONG!” Strong gets the mic to say- Well, he doesn’t get to say much as IKEMEN JIRO makes an entrance!
The Handsome One shows off his #StyleStrong, and he shows that he wants that belt! Diamond Mine backs off and Julius Creed wants to know if this guy is for real. In the Diamond Mine, everything is earned. You ain’t gotta get ready if you stay ready. Julius is always strapped, so what’s Jiro gonna do? JACKET PUNCH!! Jiro bails out before Diamond Mine rushes back in! Will Jiro get to give Julius more of those pocket punches on his way to facing Roddy for the gold?
Ikemen Jiro VS Julius Creed w/ Diamond Mine!
NXT returns and this match is already underway as Jiro hits an EDGE-O-MATIC! Jiro then shows off the jacket before he hits a NECK TWIST on Julius! Julius rolls to the corner, Hachiman coaches him up and Jiro runs in, but into a chop block! Julius gets even as he drags Jiro up to a gut wrench TOSS! Julius drags Jiro back up, RAMS him into a corner, and then pushes him around with pie face palms. Julius scoops Jiro for a POWERSLAM! Julius drags Jiro up again, gut wrench and suplex! Julius stalks Jiro, kicks him around, but Jiro kicks from below! Julius drags Jiro up as fans rally and he gut wrenches again, for another TOSS!
Diamond Mine likes what they see while fans rally for Jiro. Jiro throws body shots and haymakers, but Julius shoots in to get the leg for a lift and SLAM! Then an elbow drop, but it misses as Jiro moves! Jiro fires off forearms, then the JACKET PUNCH! JACKET PUNCH! JACKET PUNCH! DISCUS JACKET PUNCH!! Fans are fired up as Jiro whips but Julius reverses. Jiro hops up the corner to show off the jacket! Then he BOOTS Julius down, turns around, and headstand heel clap FALLING SPLASH! Cover, ONE!! Julius is tough and he bails out but Jiro ASAI MOONSAULTS! Fans fire up with Jiro but Diamond Mine is furious!
Jiro puts Julius in as fans rally for “NXT! NXT!” Jiro fires up, springboards but Julius catches him for a ROLLING SPINEBUSTER! BASEMENT LARIAT!! Cover, Julius wins!
Winner: Julius Creed, by pinfall
Tag teams, singles, Julius continues to win! And then Diamond Mine just mugs Jiro! But here comes KUSHIDA! The Time Splitter is back, he dumps Brutus out, dodges Julius then fires off forearms! He wants to throw a Fast Ball but he can’t hit Ivy. So Diamond Mine regroups and mugs Kushida! END OF HEARTACHE!! Will Diamond Mine crush anyone who dares stand in their way?
Raquel Gonzalez speaks.
“This title means I am queen of the mountain. From the start I said, line them up and I’ll knock them down. I have never ducked nor dodged any challenge. Iconic champions, sworn enemies, an ex-best friend, a future hall of famer. Which brings me to you, Mandy Rose. Making history comes with a price. And at Halloween Havoc, it’s on. But I’m upping the stakes. Let’s see how tough you really are, chiquita. Let’s spin the wheel and make the deal.” Raquel is willing to gamble on her title! Will Mandy be the one to bust when anything could happen at Halloween Havoc II?
NXT presents an all new Lashing Out with Lash Legend.
Lash welcomes us back to it and gets straight to it. Did everyone see the WWE Draft? She sure did! The Raw and SmackDown rosters have gotten so shaken up, they’ll be lucky to make it out alive. Next year, it’ll just be WWE Squid Games. Speaking of the Draft, time to reveal the “Legends of the Week.” It’s Hit~ Row~! Does anyone else walk around singing that? The crowd does, and she loves it, too! That deserves two snaps ‘n’ a clap.
But that also brings her to her next topic: The Lash Out of the Week. Any suggestions? That Tony D’Angelo trying to get in on the show. Lash’s guy told him there was a “scheduling problem” and left him at the door. Lash tells Tony that if he wants to be on the show, “Forget about it!” See y’all next time!
Kyle O’Reilly & Von Wagner VS Pete Dunne & Ridge Holland!
Like it or not, #KillerKyle only has big bad Von Wagner watching his back. But will Wagner’s inexperience hold Kyle back against the Bruiserweight and Northern Grit? Or is Wagner the wild card that Dunne & Holland can’t anticipate?
NXT returns and Dunne & Holland are already in the ring. The teams sort out and Dunne goes right at Wagner! Wagner gets around to waistlock and SLAM Dunne down, then CLUBS away on him!

Ridge CLUBS Kyle towards the corner, tags Dunne, and Dunne hooks up the legs. Dunne pulls on the arms, Kyle endures but Dunne pulls him back. Dunne gives up on the surfboard to STOMP the legs!

Ridge drags Kyle up and ROCKS him with a EuroUpper. Kyle throws body shots in return but Ridge DECKS Kyle with a EuroUpper. Cover, TWO! Ridge clamps onto Kyle with a chinbar and armlock.

It seems Kyle finally learned to trust Wagner, and they just took the fight to Dunne & Holland! Will these two stick together to take over NXT 2.0?
Chase University holds another lecture.
Andre Chase’s new lesson is ring awareness. Last week, he taught Odyssey Jones all about that when Jones put his foot under the bottom rope. Instead, it should’ve been over the bottom rope, so the ref could see it. Jones lacks the veteran instincts it takes to be successful in NXT. Any questions? Brandon up front says Chase pulled an illegal maneuver and it should’ve been a disqualification. Chase says he is open to discussing this point, “IF I GAVE A F***!” He slaps Brandon’s books off his desk and tells him to get out! Go down the hall to join Steve in the Dumbasses class! Give that kid an FU for him when you get there!
Chase is upset with students thinking for themselves, but will anyone still go to this class if that’s his attitude?
Tony D’Angelo speaks.
“So the streets are talking about my successful debut.” But he has to give props to Malk or whatever his name. But that guy was basically licking Tony’s boots. But now that Tony’s the man in NXT, he goes to check out Lashing Out, only for some mealy mouthed little producer to say there was some kind of “scheduling conflict.” But yeah, forget about it. Tony does things on his own time anyway. That producer, Mark, is a nice guy. But uh, Tony clearly has him in the trunk of an unmarked Mercedes. Will Tony D’Angelo make sure Lash’s people do business with him?
Duke Hudson VS Grayson Waller!
The high stakes poker player takes on the baller Golden Gloves winner. Will Duke be able to take Waller for everything he’s worth? Or will he fall to Waller’s hot hand?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the two tie up. Duke puts Waller in a corner, lets off and Waller dodges the haymaker to show off his footwork. They go again, Waller waistlocks then headlocks but Duke pries at the hold. Duke pulls hair, Waller JABS Duke with a palm strike!

Waller endures the squeeze, fights up to throw elbows, but Duke has another bearhug. Fans taunt Duke as “DOO~KIE! DOO~KIE!” but he ignores that. Waller JAWBREAKERS free, throws hands, then spins Duke to ROCK him with a forearm! Waller BOOTS, Duke puts him on the apron, but Waller shoulders in and HOTSHOTS Duke away! SOMERSAULT STUNNER!
Fans fire up as Waller grabs at Duke. Duke has the skirt, Waller gets the roll up, TWO! Waller goes to ropes but Duke disrupts the springboard! Roll-up, with the tights! Duke wins!!
Winner: Duke Hudson, by pinfall
That was rather underhanded for the poker player, and he gives Waller a poker chip as a parting token. Will Waller have better luck next time? Will Duke be playing for a bigger pot, aka a title, soon enough?
Santos Escobar speaks.
“It’s unfortunate what happened to Hit Row today. And Swerve, it’s a real shame your familia isn’t here and mine is always with me.” But he reassures Swerve that tonight, Legado stays in the locker room so that it’ll be Swerve VS Escobar, mano y mano. Good luck, cowboy! Escobar is laughing now, but will Swerve have the last laugh in the main event?
Dexter Lumis is with Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta backstage.
He’s accompanying them to gorilla, and Indi gives her man a big wet kiss on the cheek as thanks. The music hits, Indi & Persia head out for their tag team debut!
Imperium speaks.
Marcel Barthel says “It’s sad. It’s an absolute embarrassment!” MSK being the team that are the champions, yet also representing everything WRONG with this generation. “But not for long.” Fabian Aichner says “This generation is soft. Everyone is attached to their phones and no one is willing to work hard.” MSK is an embarrassment to this sport! No honor, no pride, no elegance, because they don’t even know what these words mean! But do not worry, Imperium is here to save NXT. Because to them, the mat is sacred. When and where will Aichner & Barthel get their chance to “redeem” the NXT Tag Team Division?
Indi Hartwell & Persia Pirotta VS Sarray & Amari Miller!
The #Impressive best friends are climbing towards the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships, but they still have to be victorious. Can they outshine the Warrior of the Sun and the Star of St. Louis?

Persia BOOTS her down, then gives Amari a SWINGING X-FACTOR! Indi springboards for the PRETTY SAVAGE ELBOW! Cover, Indi & Persia win!
Winners: Indi Hartwell & Persia Pirotta, by pinfall
An impressive first match for the best friends, but was it enough to earn a tag title opportunity? Persia gets a mic to says, “What a way to start it off, hey? So how about you, me and those NXT Women’s Tag titles?” But speaking of, here come Shirai & Stark! Shirai tells them in Japanese to shut it with this tag title stuff. “I don’t like you. I don’t like you. And-” Stark stops Shirai there, she knows Shirai doesn’t like Stark, either. Well don’t speak for her. Oh so then she does like Stark? No. But here come Toxic Attraction! Jacy wants this to stop. “She likes me, she likes me not. We don’t give a damn about any one of you!” They just want the titles.
And now it turns into a brawl, Toxic Attraction with the champs! Indi and Persia get involved but get beat up, too! Gigi throws Indi out, Shirai gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX Gigi down! Persia hammers away on Stark but Jacy dumps her out! Stark HEEL KICKS Jacy down! The champs are fired up and standing tall, will they take on both teams just to shut them all up?
Grayson Waller walks backstage.
He says he to Cora Jade as she walks by, but then says hey to a lovely lady in blue. Blue’s his favorite color, after all. He’s gonna go shower, how about she goes freshen up and meet him out back. Cameron Grimes slides up and asks how Waller pulled that off. Well it’s as Grimes said, love is in the air. Waller didn’t even try his best, it’s probably just his accent. But he just lost a match. And Grimes is still upset about his loss. It’s not about wins and losses, it’s about likes ‘n’ swipes. Grimes has all the money in the world. If he shaved his chest, his beard, and cleaned up, he’d find a lady.
Well where would he find said lady to begin with? Ever tried dating apps? Check it. Whoa, no way! Will Grimes have the same luck in finding love as he did with investing?
A new fighter is coming to NXT.
“You won’t find my wins and losses in any record books. Those live on the streets. I was left to fight alone when I was 15 years old, and that’s when I became Solo Sikoa, Street Champion of the Island.”
NXT North American Championship: Isaiah “Swerve” Scott VS Santos Escobar!
Santos promised this would finally be a 1v1 match between these two, but can he really be trusted? Or will Swerve see all the tricks in the book coming and throw them in Escobar’s face?
NXT returns and Escobar makes his entrance. Legado accompanies him on stage, but they do seem to keep their promise as they return to the back. But Swerve attacks at the ramp! Swerve RAMS Escobar into steel steps! Swerve glares Escobar right in the face, saying this is for HIS family. They go into the ring, the ref wants Swerve to wait for Escobar to get to his feet. Escobar does, the bell rings, and Escobar bails out to steady himself. But Swerve FLIES! Down goes Escobar with that Fosbury Flop! Swerve drags Escobar up, making him look at the camera before he throws him into the other steel steps! Swerve gets in the ring and lets the ring count climb.
Escobar stands at 7 so Swerve goes out to restart the count. Swerve puts Escobar on the apron, pulls off the protection on the corner crossbar, but Escobar scrambles into the ring. Swerve grins as he stalks Escobar and kicks him around. Swerve whips, tilt-o-whirl scoops and BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Swerve smirks as Escobar writhes and fans rally up. Swerve runs to drop a knee! Cover, ONE! Swerve keeps cool, fans rally and duel, and Swerve stalks Escobar again. Swerve drags Escobar up to half nelson but Escobar blocks the lift. Swerve CLUBS and CHOPS Escobar down but Escobar again blocks the lift.
Escobar jumps to arm-drag Swerve away! Swerve bails out, Escobar runs and slides but Swerve goes up onto the apron. Escobar trips Swerve and Swerve lands hard on the apron! Escobar builds speed and keeps going, ARROW FROM HELL!! Direct hit and Swerve goes flying over the announce desk! Escobar is all fired up as NXT goes picture in picture.
Escobar goes around the desk to fetch Swerve. He stands Swerve up just to toss him over the desk back the other way! Then he stands Swerve up to whip him into steel steps! That’s a receipt for earlier! Fans rally and Escobar stalks Swerve back into the ring. Escobar stomps Swerve around, drags him by his legs and ties those up to then punch away at Swerve’s kidneys!

Escobar turns Swerve around and gets space to RAM him in the back! Escobar brings Swerve around again, NXT returns to single picture as Escobar digs a boot between Swerve’s shoulders as he pulls on the arms. Swerve endures, Escobar whips and hits a SPINEBUSTER! Escobar runs to PENALTY KICK Swerve in the back! Fans are fired up and Escobar fires up as he grabs the arms again. Swerve endures, resists, but Escobar still has him in the motorcycle stretch.

Escobar staggers up into Swerve’s SOMERSAULT- COMPLETE SHOT from Escobar! Cover, TWO!!
Escobar grows frustrated but he knows it was that close. Fans are thunderous for “NXT! NXT!” as Escobar gets to a corner. Swerve stands in the other, Escobar runs in to DOUBLE KNEE! Escobar hoists Swerve up top, CHOPS him again, and fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Escobar whistles before the SUPER STEINER! Swerve goes flying and Escobar goes back up, for a FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Swerve survives and Escobar can’t believe it! The CWC is thunderous as Escobar runs to basement dropkick Swerve out! Swerve gets to the apron but Escobar brings him to a corner. Escobar drags Swerve up, stands on the very top, but Swerve trips him up!
Escobar is stuck on the top rope, Swerve glares at him and drags him into a fireman’s carry. APRON DEATH VALLEY!! Swerve shoves Escobar back in, goes up a corner, 450 SPLASH onto knees! Escobar covers, TWO!! Swerve narrowly escapes and fans are electric! Escobar is in shock but fans are loving this! But wait, Legado violates their promise and show up ringside! But wait, Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams trip them up! Legado brawls with them but are Melo & Trick honorary Hit Row? Escobar KNEES Swerve, fireman’s carries, but Swerve fights free! Swerve shoves Escobar away and goes to a corner. Escobar runs in but Swerve pops him up onto the CROSSBAR!
Escobar staggers back, Swerve gets the half nelson, J M L DRIVER!! Cover, Swerve wins?!?
Winner: Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, by pinfall (still NXT North American Champion)
Incredible! Swerve, who is heading for SmackDown in less than two weeks, is going to take one of NXT’s titles with him!? But what goes around comes around, Escobar got what he deserved! Melo celebrates with Swerve, only to CLOBBER him with a lariat!! And Trick says it’s time! The Breakout Tournament contract is at the ready, and Melo’s going Money in the Bank with it!! He signs on the dotted line, for the NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP!!
NXT North American Championship: Isaiah “Swerve” Scott VS Carmelo Hayes w/ Trick Williams!

Melo sets up from the corner, “Melo Don’t Miss!” FLYING FAMOUSER!! Cover, Melo wins!!
Winner: Carmelo Hayes, by pinfall (NEW NXT North American Champion)
Well so much for Hit Row bringing the gold to the blue brand! The Breakout Star new how to play the game and got the biggest win in his career! Will there be no stopping Melo now that he has the title around his waist?
My Thoughts:
As exciting as that ending was, NXT sure shoved in a lot in this episode, and not necessarily in a good way. I don’t think Xyon Quinn has had anything other than short matches, and he had another short one here. Ivy Nile having a squash match for her debut is fine, that is just standard formula in WWE anyway. But I felt a bit soured that Julius Creed beat Ikemen Jiro in what ended up a short match since it started during the break. I would’ve rather Jiro found a quick way to win and then that’s reason for Diamond Mine to mug him. Kushida coming out was still a good move, and I’m betting we get Kushida & Jiro VS Creed Brothers, and that could be the Creed Brothers’ first loss.
Duke VS Waller was another short match when it probably could’ve been more, but whatever, apparently it’s more important to use Waller to push Grimes’ search for his Lady Luck. Admittedly, Grimes again being behind the times and not knowing about dating apps was funny. But I just don’t understand anything about this new romcom edict. Do we need this? Johnny and Candice worked because they’re legitimately a great couple, #InDex worked on how it’s so goofy and it turns tropes around on their heads, but they don’t need to be force fed NXT shipping as written by Vince. But hey, if anyone can make it fun for viewers, it’s Grimes.
That promo of the person with the shovel had a voice mod on it, but you could totally tell it was female with an accent. I have a strong feeling this is Dakota Kai making a comeback with a new element to her character, as is the way of NXT 2.0. Toxic Attraction’s promo was generic “We’re Heels!” type stuff, and it comes out of order when we already saw Gigi & Jacy lose to Shirai & Stark. And then, was Sarray really part of the team that jobbed to Indi & Persia? But of course Vince favors hotties with bodies in this. Mandy Rose gets to face Raquel Gonzalez, and surely lose in whatever badass stipulation they’re given, while Toxic Attraction might take the pin in the coming Triple Threat for the Women’s Tag titles. At least, that’s what I hope.
But we still got really good things. Ciampa VS Gacy was a solid match, but of course Ciampa wins. Gacy can’t be in the title match, he’d take the loss in the Triple Threat to keep the other two strong. Plus, he now has this thing with “Harland” Parker Boudreaux, possibly the start of a faction, maybe something to get us to accept Gacy’s gimmick as more than just tone deaf parody. Ciampa and Breakker have good interactions with GYV, and they’re having a tag match next week in what already feels like a really good go-home to Halloween Havoc. Andre Chase honestly does do good as a character, that Chase University segment was funny. But he’s totally losing to Odyssey Jones.
Wagner and Kyle had a really good match with Dunne & Holland, and clearly Wagner’s got the push behind him. I think this was good for a send-off to Holland, he’ll head to SmackDown and start wrecking people on his way to the Intercontinental Championship and Nakamura. Wagner and Kyle could be a team, or they could end up rivals for the North American Championship or something, who knows. Not sure, but I think Tony D’Angelo is ending up in a feud with Lash Legend where she gets a proxy from the men’s division to fight him. It’s something different and I wouldn’t mind seeing how that turns out so Lash isn’t just a talk show host this entire time.
What was really good tonight was the send-off for Hit Row. First, Legado is implicated in Adonis being gone, then they blatantly get rid of B-Fab and Dolla, and then we got a pretty great match of Swerve VS Escobar. It was quite the great twist, actually, for Swerve to retain against Escobar, as he should have given how everything felt in the feud of Hit Row VS Legado, only for Melo to go MITB and cash-in. Honestly, I think that is a great addition to how the Breakout Tournament contract works, and it really gives the episode a hot ending. Melo can now carry on against Legado, Trick being his guy to watch his back, maybe setting something up for Halloween Havoc.
My Score: 8.9/10

Perry shoves Menard aside, then goes into the bus. Perry brings out a tow chain, with a hook on it! Perry CLUBS Menard, then hooks him up to the back of the bus! Between the chain and the bus exhaust, Menard is coughing and sputtering. Perry tells Menard, “We all have to sacrifice.” Perry then goes into the bus, but Garcia runs up!

Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Komander hurries to a corner and climbs! Komander tightrope walks the 20 feet, to then SPACE MAN MOONSAULT! Down goes Shelton and the fans are thunderous! Komander hurries to get Shelton up but Shelton ELBOWS him away. Shelton slides into the ring himself, but Komander follows. MVP is furious as Komander runs, 619! Shelton is down and Komander goes up again! MVP shouts at Shelton while Komander aims.
Komander tightrope walks again but has to bail out as Shelton moves! Shelton waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! Komander flounders to a corner, Shelton runs up to STEP-UP KNEE! And then a SUPERKICK! Komander gets folded up and MVP says finish it already! Shelton hauls Komander up, clinches, and hits PAYDIRT! Cover, Shelton wins!
Winner: Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall
MVP stands with Shelton in the victory, but Komander definitely give more of a fight than either man expected. MVP then says we should leave with a souvenir! Shelton grabs at Komander’s mask! Abrahantes gets in the ring to stop Shelton, but then he sees MVP there. MVP grabs Abrahantes by the neck! MVP LARIATS Abrahantes down! MVP may be a manager now, but he can still hit other managers hard. Will nothing stop The Hurt Syndicate from owning AEW?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up. Jameson gives all the introductions, and looking at “P-P-Powerhouse,” all you people are expecting a meat madness match! You want meat?! Then yeah, chant it up! But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bronson pumps up and puffs up, but he’s looking lean compared to Hobbs. Bronson runs, RAMS Hobbs, but Bronson bounces off! The fans fire up but the Savages coach Bronson up. Hobbs says stop playing and bring it! Hobbs SLAPS Bronson, so Bronson really fires up! Bronson kicks low, and says, “How ’bout that, Hobbs?!” Bronson runs, but Hobbs dodges and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Hobbs brings Bronson around. Scoop and SLAM, and the fans fire up with Hobbs! Hobbs then brings Bronson up to scoop and SLAM again! Bronson writhes, the fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!”
Hobbs drags Bronson up, scoops and SLAMS again! Bronson writhes while Hobbs looms over him. Hobbs brings Bronson up, but Bronson wrenches out to ROCK Hobbs! Bronson fires haymakers, then CLUBS away on Hobbs’ back! The fans rally, Bronson reels Hobbs in, but Hobbs suplexes Bronson first! Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!
Hobbs shakes the ropes, and the straps come down! The fans fire up but Jameson talks trash on the apron. Hobbs DECKS him! Boulder runs in?! Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! The ref can’t believe what’s going on as Hobbs torture racks Bronson! ARGENTINE RACK! Bronson TAPS, Hobbs wins! And drops Bronson on Boulder!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by submission
Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start. Mortos steps up and the fans sing while the bell rings. Bowens and Mortos circle, tie up, and Mortos powers Bowens to a corner.
The ref counts, Mortos lets off, but Bowens dodges the shot to fire CHOPS! Mortos just roars! Mortos runs up, Bowens dodges to CHOP, CHOP and fire forearms!

Rush leaps over but Caster runs him over! Rush runs Caster over! The fans fire up, but Caster says hold on! Tranquilo! Caster raises the ingobernable fist, Rush is moderately amused, but then Caster sucker punches him! Rush scowls and DECKS Caster! Rush goes out to grab his favorite green cable! Mortos distracts the ref, but Caster fires hands on Rush first! And Caster uses the cable! The fans cheer as Rush tastes his own medicine!

The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg. Rush drags Caster up, CHOPS him then ROCKS him, then bumps him off buckles. Tag to Mortos and Mortos SMACKS Caster! Cover, TWO! Caster toughs it out but Mortos NECK GTWISTS! Cover, TWO! Mortos stalks Caster to a corner while Private Party watches closely. Mortos SMACKS Caster again! Mortos puts Caster in the corner, taunts Bowens, and while the ref is busy with Bowens, that lets The Snake get in cheap shots!
Billy and Bowens both protest, but Mortos wrenches Caster. Tag to Rush and LFI mugs Caster. Caster goes to a corner but Rush whips corner to corner. Rush runs up and feints the dropkick to SMACK Caster! Rush soaks up the cheers and jeers while he blows a kiss. Rush drags Caster up to snapmare and motorcycle stretch. Caster endures but Jake is happy with this. Caster fights up, but Rush throws him down by his hair! Private Party doesn’t like how this is going for Acclaimed, but Rush taunts Bowens. The ref has ot keep Bownse back again, and Rush drags Caster back. Tag to Mortos and LFI mugs Caster more while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Caster fights up to ENZIGIRI Mortos! Mortos staggers back, Caster crawls forward, hot tag to Bowens! Bowens rallies on LFI with LARIATS, haymakers and CHOPS! Mortos roars, but Bowens sends him into the corner! Mortos tumbles up and out, then Bowens gives Rush the kick, kick, and FAMOUSER! Bowens shouts, “EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED!” Bowens then goes up and aims, SUPER CROSSBODY onto Mortos! The fans fire up and Bowens hurries to put Mortos in. Cover, TWO! Mortos stays in this, but Bowens stays focused. Bowens fires forearms but Mortos hits back.
Bowens fires a flurry, then whips, but Mortos reverses. Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS Bowens down! The fans fire up but Caster MISSILE DROPKCIKS Mortos! Rush runs up, but Caster SUPERKICKS him! Caster runs at Rush, but Rush THROWS him into the corner! Bowens DECKS Rush! The fans fire up as all four men are down! Private Party likes this, too, as Billy coaches his guys. Jake also coaches LFI, and “This is Awesome!” Mortos blocks a shot to HEADBUTT Bowens down! Tag to Rush and Rush runs at the corner, only for Bowens to dodge! Bowens CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS away!
Bowens sits Rush down, mocks the tranquilo with some scissor fingers, but that pisses Rush off! Rush shoves Bowens, the hands start flying! Rush whips Bowens to a corner, to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Rush sits Bowens down to stomp away! The ref counts, Rush argues with him, but then goes corner to corner! Feint and BOOT! Rush gives a proper tranquilo, then he has the fans fired up. Bownes runs up, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Rush puts Bowens in the drop zone, goes up, SUPER SENTON FLOPS! Tag to Caster and he goes up! DIVING SPLASH! Cover, Mortos breaks it! Mortos gets Rush to safety, then tags in.
Rush dodges Caster, Mortos ROCKS him! Rush hits a BACKSTABBER, then holds Caster up for Mortos’ MISSILE DROPKICK! Cover, Bowens breaks it! Rush CHOPS Bowens, Mortos whips Caster, and then Mortos CLOBBERS Caster! The fans rally as Rush says now it’s time! But Bowens fires off Rock, Paper, Scissors SUPERKICK! Mortos CLOBBERS Bowens! Mortos then runs at Caster, CANNONBALL MISSES! Hot tag to Bowens and he hits THE ARRIVAL on Mortos! MIC DROP from Caster!! Cover, ACCLAIMED WINS!
Winners: The Acclaimed, by pinfall (advance to Full Gear)
Private Party says alright, nice on Acclaimed! Billy helps Caster to his feet, but Caster is a bit squirrely. Caster calms down, and The Acclaimed all SCISSOR FINGER~! They’re in the Fatal 4, but will Caster & Bowens be the ones to become TWO-TIME TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?
Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!
Anna confiscates a monitor to SMACK Mariah on the back! Mariah falls into Schaivone’s arms, and Nigel is furiously jealous! Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up as Anna keeps going, and she sits the chair up nearby. Anna drags Mariah up, but Mariah fires body shots! DDT onto the chair! Anna falls back while Mariah snarls. Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.
Mariah drags Anna up, for a SAIDO! Mariah then positions chairs before she fireman’s carries Anna. MADAY on a chair! Cover, TWO!?! Anna survives and Mariah is furious! Mariah grits her teeth as she drags Anna up and reels her in. Anna fights free, kicks low, then has the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB onto the ladder!! The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first! Mariah bumps Anna off buckles, then SUPSER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS through the table!! Cover, TWO?!?! Anna survives and Mariah cannot believe it! But this is what winning the title with no safety net means for Anna! Mariah goes out, looks under the ring, and she brings out spare railing!?
Mariah pushes the railing into the ring, but she also brings some chairs over. Mariah sets the chairs up before she props the railing up like a ramp. Mariah adds more chairs, but Anna hits a BACKSTABBER first! Both women are down again, but Anna grabs herself some chairs. Anna finishes the project Mariah was working on, and the railing is now a platform! Anna drags Mariah over but Mariah HEADBUTTS first! Mariah then puts Anna on the railing, and looks to go through with her plan all along! The fans fire up as Mariah climbs, but Anna trips her up first! Anna climbs up, and she has Mariah on the very top! SUPERPLEX on the railing!!!
The fans lose their minds as both women are wrecked on the steel bars! Nigel can’t bear to watch the replay! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Mariah rises up, but Anna flops out of the ring. Anna finds some BARBED WIRE! Anna looks to relive one of her highlights as she wraps the wire around her arm! Anna stalks Mariah, and has the BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER on!!! Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZERO on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?

Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low!

Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor!

Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
