Mark Coffey w/ Wolfgang VS Rohan Raja w/ Teoman!

Gallus had an encounter with The Babo’s family at the Performance Center, the beef from the Heritage Cup Tournament still needs to be settled! Will Markus show Teoman’s British Born, Australian Raised, Canadian Trained brother in arms what happens when you mess with the boys?

The bell rings and fans rally as the two tie up. Coffey shoves Raja and the two go again. Raja shoots in but Coffey uses a facelock then brings Raja down for a waistlock.

Raja stomps Coffey down and Teoman throws his jacket down. They stomp away on Coffey and Wolfgang but more referees rush out to pull them away. The family leave Gallus behind, but will Joe Coffey have something to say about this?

Sid Scala has an announcement.

The teams of Ashton Smith & Oliver Carter, Jack Starz & Dave Mastiff, and Symbiosis’ Tyson T-Bone & Primate all have issues with one another. Tensions have been rising in these recent weeks, and Sid has spoken with Johnny Saint. In two weeks, we will have a Tag Team Triple Threat to name NEW #1 Contenders to the NXT UK Tag Team Championships! Who will rise above to go after the Pretty Deadly champions?

Backstage interview with Charlie Dempsey.

He’ll be in his second match later tonight, going against Danny Jones. What can we expect from that match-up? Dempsey says Danny is a great talent, a great competitor and spent time in Japan just like him. Their styles will mix greatly and- Gallus is storming in, upset with Teoman and Raja. Has Dempsey seen them? If he does, tell them Gallus is looking for them. Gallus storms off and Dempsey says this is the second time this has happened. Will Dempsey still focus on his opponent in the ring tonight?

Amale VS Myla Grace!

The French Hope shoulders the honor of an entire country on her shoulders as she represents France in NXT UK. Will she get back on a winning track? Or will the bubbly break dancer from Belfast make a big impression in her debut?

The bell rings, Amale and Grace circle, tie up, and Amale waistlocks to SLAM Grace down. Amale talks trash in French, Grace gets up to waistlock. Amale elbows out hard, bumps Grace off buckles then headlocks and thrashes Grace around. Grace endures, even as Amale thrashes more. Fans rally up for Grace and she fights out to then split under and roll Amale up! ONE, Grace rolls to get La Magistrol! TWO, Grace throws counter punches!

Amale drags Grace up, hooks the leg, HOPEBREAKER! High stack, Amale wins!

Winner: Amale, by pinfall

Davenport isn’t impressed but Amale doesn’t care. She is ready to make an impact, but will she be given the shot she feels she deserves?

Backstage interview with Aleah James.

NXT UK Media says she got a big win last week over Xia Brookside, how is she feeling? Well she’s been a whole year now so she’s excited she got a win. But Nina Samuels takes over to make this interview part of her show. Though it takes a certain caliber of performer to be on Nina’s show, and she isn’t sure Aleah measures up. A small height joke but Nina laughs. Aleah asks if there’s a problem. Maybe another time, Nina. Aleah isn’t doing this now. Nina scowls as Aleah walks off set, but manages a smile as she signs off for her show. Will Aleah get to show Nina her caliber in the ring at some point?

Subculture gets NXT UK Media to follow them.

Dani Luna doublechecks if Flash Morgan Webster is sure about this. They should wait for Mark Andrews, at least. No, FMW is going in now. He walks into the locker room and finds Rampage Brown. Rampage tells him, “Don’t you dare.” Everyone knows what FMW’s been up to. FMW says okay, but he still goes for the slap! Rampage blocks that then pins FMW against a wall! “You’re gonna get yourself hurt. If you want a match, all you had to do was ask.” Rampage lets FMW go easy this time, but will it get much, much worse for the Modfather once they’re in the ring?

Charlie Dempsey VS Danny Jones!

The young technician got his first win off #TurboTerry in impressive manner, but will he be able to make it an impressive 2-0? Or will “Raving” Danny Jones be a little too much for a second opponent?

The bell rings and the tow tie up right away. Dempsey hits an arm-drag, they’re still tied up in a collar ‘n’ elbow and the two stand up. Dempsey tries another arm-drag but Jones stays up, so Dempsey drops to get a leg pick. Dempsey has a standing toehold, Jones kicks with his free leg and is free. They tie up again, Dempsey cravats and EuroUppers, then goes back to the cravat for a standing neck wrench. Jones throws Dempsey but Dempsey holds on. CRAVAT PLEX! Dempsey has a cravat cover, TWO! Jones fights up, throws body shots, powers out and hip tosses! Jones fires up and throws EuroUppers! Dempsey comes back with EuroUppers of his own, but Jones URAKENS!

Dempsey staggers, Jones drags him down to a sleeper! Dempsey fights free but Jones uses an omoplata to bring him around and tie up the legs! Modified BOW ‘N’ ARROW! Dempsey pops free, covers, TWO! Dempsey tries again with a half nelson and a forearm grinding in Jones’ face. Jones fights up, Dempsey wants a half hatch but Jones gets a leg pick. Dempsey gets away, they circle and Jones shoots in but into a cravat. Jones slips out to get the leg but Dempsey gets an arm! Dempsey has a double wristlock and then a leg hook to really twist that shoulder! Then Dempsey KNEES Jones! Jones comes back to ROCK Dempsey with a forearm!

Jones whips Dempsey from the corner but Dempsey bridges to reverse and send Jones into buckles! Dempsey brings Jones up to EuroUpper, then he gut wrench suplexes fast and hard! Cover, TWO! Dempsey floats to another press, TWO! A deep leg hook, TWO! Dempsey keeps on Jones with a facelock then a GROVIT! Jones endures, Dempsey RAMS him into a corner, then GROVIT SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Jones survives but Dempsey isn’t stopping here. Dempsey chinlocks, thrashes Jones around, but Jones fights up to throw body shots. Dempsey headlocks, Jones throws hands and powers up but can’t power out, so he hits a BIG back suplex!

Fans cheer as Jones runs in but into a low headbutt! Dempsey throws knees, hooks the arms, BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Bridging to a float over to the BUTTERFLY LOCK! Jones endures, Dempsey gets up again and hits another BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! And another float over, back to the BUTTERFLY LOCK! Jones endures, Dempsey shifts to a chicken wing and crossface! Dempsey joins hands to WRENCH Jones back, Jones taps! Dempsey wins!

Winner: Charlie Dempsey, by submission

Two for two and just as torturous as the first! Dempsey takes holds to a new level, will that agonizing arsenal take him to the top of NXT UK?

NXT UK takes a closer look at Satomura VS Jinny.

The Spoiled Princess says, “Meiko Satomura has been wrestling for over 20 years. Every single time she steps foot in the ring, she shows everyone why she is the Final Boss. But 20 years is a long time. You become weakened, you become frail, you become slow.” Meiko admits she is nervous every title defense, but she gets tougher and stronger. Jinny knows Meiko dared everyone else to step up, but not Jinny. That’s because even Meiko knows Jinny is dangerous. Meiko likes dangerous. “Jinny, you cannot beat me. You are the queen, I’m the Final Boss.” Jinny says she finishes the Final Boss and becomes the new champion. Meiko tells Jinny to be prepared, because this is going down NEXT WEEK!

Isla Dawn goes back to her secret box.

She admires and even praises the collection she’s amassed. “Face and hand to reach the sun and the cold dirt.” The hair she tore from Dani Luna, the red lipstick she took from Jinny. One more charm of power trouble, and thus complete shall be the puzzle. “Ascension will be there upon. Progression inevitable as the Dawn.” Just what is the Wicked Witch brewing for the NXT UK Women’s Division?

NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship: Tyler Bate w/ Trent Seven VS Noam Dar w/ Sha Samuels!

The Big Strong Boy has beaten the Scottish Supernova with the cup on the line before and promises to do it again. Does Bate have Dar’s number? Or will nothing deny Dar what he feels is his destiny?

The introductions are made, the cup is raised, and we see how many rounds this rematch goes!

Round one begins and fans rally as the two circle. They feel things out, tie up with knuckle locks but let off to circle more. Dar tries a kick but Bate stays clear. They tie up, Dar waistlocks and slams Bate down, then facelocks. Bate rolls, Dar stays with him, gets around to a waistlock and rolls Bate, but Bate switches to get a leg. Dar gets away and to the ropes. Fans cheer the technical exchange and the two circle again. Bate wrenches an arm, wrangles Dar down but Dar fight sup and spins through to wrench and wrangle Bate in return. Dar CLUBS the arm, digs his knee into Bate’s face and bends the elbow. Bate fights up, Dar wrenches and wrenches and wrenches again.

Bate rolls, rolls back, spins and breaks free to wrench and wristlock back, then he WRINGS Dar out! Bate is right back on Dar but Dar puts him on the ropes. The ref calls the break, Bate ducks the cheap shot kick! We’re under a minute in the first, they tie up and Bate spins to a full nelson then a cravat. Dar endures, rolls but Bate holds on. Bate keeps on the neck wrench, Dar fights up and goes after the grip. He stomps Bate’s foot to get a headlock takeover! Bate fights up at 20 seconds, Dar clinches but they end up on ropes. The ref calls the break and we’re at the 10 second mark. Dar gives a shove and eggs Bate on but Bate waits on Dar. The round ends cleanly.

Bate: 0; Dar: 0

Seven and Sha help Bate and Dar refresh, Sha hypes Dar up and round two begins. Dar and Bate circle, knuckle lock and Bate rolls to spin and get a leg pick. Bate has a standing toehold, Dar endures and rolls but can’t get free. Bate uses the toehold to turn Dar over and hook up both legs in a deathlock. Bate pulls the legs, Dar endures, Bate gets around and Dar slips free. Dar is on the ropes and Sha tells Bate to get back. Bate waits, Dar stands and circles with Bate again. They tie up, Dar rolls and has a top wristlock. He arm-drags Bate down and keeps on the wristlock but Bate fights up. Dar gets a headlock, Bate endures as Dar thrashes around.

Bate powers up, powers out and rams shoulders with Dar. Bate shakes his head, Dar goes after the arm. Bate turns it around onto Dar! Dar knees low, headlocks again but Bate hits a headlock and takeover. Dar headscissors, Bate kips out to get a headlock on Dar, and he bops Dar with his foot! Dar powers out as we’re under a minute, Bate goes up the corner but Dar snapmares him down. Bate gets up, avoids the kick, but Dar sees through Bop to grab at it! Bate throws Dar off, runs at the ropes but Dar tabletops him! Underhooks and a lot of spinning, but Bate resists the backslide to fireman’s carry! AIRPLANE SPIN!

Bate goes around and around but Dar slips off to wrangle Bate. Bate dodges, DOUBLE LARIATS take both men down, but they both sit right up! They stare down, fans fire up and the two tie up. We’re at 10 seconds, the two go around but the round ends!

Bate: 0; Dar: 0

The ref has the two separate and tensions are high as they back away. Another refresher, some more tips from Sha to Dar, and we begin round three. Dar goes for a leg, Bate blocks but Dar wrenches and WRINGS Bate, but Bate handsprings through! Bate arm-drags Dar, dropkicks him down, and Dar bails out. Bate runs over, Dar slides in. Bate comes back, blocks Dar’s cheap shot but Dar sweeps the legs! Dar runs to dropkick Bate off the apron! Dar hurries to get Bate up and snapmares him into steel steps!

Bate: 0; Dar: 1

And that all important first point goes to Mr. Supernova 11! Is he just one round away from taking the cup away? Fans fire up as the refresher finishes and we move into round four! And Dar rushes in after Bate in the corner! Judo throw and a stomp to the arm! Dar shows pinkies to Seven, goes after the other arm and stomps it, too! Dar stomps Bate’s legs and shouts, “I’m the best at this!” Fans are torn as Dar stomps Bate’s other leg. Seven coaches Bate up, fans rally and Bate throws body shots.

Bate endures, Seven goes after Pretty Deadly, and the towel flies into the ring!! Sha points it out, the ref misunderstands, and he calls it!!! Dar is the winner?!?

Winner: Noam Dar, by submission (NEW NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion)

Forget an East End screw job, this was a Pretty Deadly Screw Job! They mess with Moustache Mountain and cost Bate the cup! Fans boo as Dar celebrates a tainted victory, but will that matter to the Scottish Supernova? As for Pretty Deadly, will this cost them the tag titles when Moustache Mountain come for revenge?

My Thoughts:

A really good episode, lots of good set-up for the coming weeks. A good promo vignette from Meiko and Jinny, a good bit with Nina and Aleah, and I like that Rampage Brown was ready for FMW to try and slap him. The vignette for Dawn was alright but it was hard to tell what she was saying. I feel like at this point, she’s being built up in the backroom to take on the champion and maybe even take the title at some point. I figured Sid would announce the tag team contender’s match, and that will be a really good match. Given how things went at the end of the main event, it might not even be Pretty Deadly they’re facing. Well, probably them.

Coffey VS Raja was a good match but I’m not sure the fans were that into it. Coffey winning but Teoman and Raja being sore losers makes sense, they’re definitely going to get Joe Coffey involved and then we will see who joins Teoman’s “Family.” Amale VS Grace was a good showing for both, but Davenport watching partway through was rather interesting. Is she stalking her next target? Davenport as a Tweener, facing everyone on the roster, would be pretty good. Needs to happen a bit more in WWE, honestly. Dempsey really is good at taking moves we’ve seen and turning them into something new, and that is pretty impressive. His interactions with Gallus make me still feel he might end up joining Teoman’s family but I still feel like that shouldn’t really be his story.

The Heritage Cup match was great stuff, and they went to six rounds in a very high energy, high drama way. Those two middle rounds were fast, we were kept kinda guessing going into the last round, and I did not expect Pretty Deadly getting involved in their own way. The accidental throwing of the towel was fairly clever, and Bate loses the cup without losing power level. I feel like Moustache Mountain will definitely want after Pretty Deadly and the tag titles for revenge, that match can happen before the new contenders get their shot to add some intrigue to the scene. As for Dar, the door’s wide open now for him to face whoever for the cup and really add to its young legacy.

My Score: 8.5/10

What will The Cleaner have to say to The Elite?

Finally, Kenny Omega returns to AEW! But given how his friends, The Young Bucks, gave Tony Khan a piledriver, will his homecoming be a dour one?

OFFICIAL RESULTS

AEW TNT Championship: Adam “Edge” Copeland VS A member of The House of Black; Edge wins and retains the title.
Samoa Joe VS Isiah Kassidy; Joe wins.
FTW Championship: Chris Jericho VS Katsuyori Shibata; Jericho wins and retains the title.

Serena Deeb VS Mariah May w/ Toni Storm & Luther; wins.

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Khan speaks.

“Welcome to AEW Dynamite. I’m here live in Jacksonville, Florida, and I’ll be producing tonight’s show here in the offices of the Jaguars. I wish I could be live there in Winnipeg for Kenny Omega’s return in his hometown tonight at a perfect time. Unfortunately I’m not cleared to leave Jacksonville, Florida, due to the actions of AEW’s Executive Vice Presidents, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, and the reinstated Jack Perry.” Something’s going wonky with Tony’s video as he explains the head and neck injuries suffered… And then The Bucks cut in to say they’re “losing” Tony. Technical difficulties. Sorry, TK, they lost connection.

But hey, Tony may not be here, but the Bucks are. And some of you may be asking, how is that cool after what they did last week? How are they not fired? Well, see, iron clad contracts, with a founder’s clause. They won’t get into the details, but let’s just say that they and their colleagues are not going anywhere. And in those same details, it says that if Tony Khan cannot physically be at an event, the EVPs would succeed him. In other words, The Bucks are in charge now! With that said, they’re going to run the new show open! It’s all Elite, as in all Bucks, all Jack and all Okada! They said they wanted to change the world, is that change just more of themselves?

Swerve Strickland is here!

Winnipeg cheers as Prince Nana leads the way for the AEW World Champion! Swerve takes the mic to say, “What’s going on, everybody? Three matches, three shows, in one week. That is the type of champion that All Elite Wrestling deserves, and that is the type of champion that Swerve said he was always gonna be.” The fans cheer that! Swerve says what AEW does not deserve are selfish, greedy, childish, power hungry EVPs that think they can just throw their weight around without any kind of consequences. Swerve stands on his words: What the Bucks did was a b*tch move. Now that’ll be handled at some point, but Swerve will get to business.

Who is going to be Swerve’s opponent for Double or Nothing? The fans ask “WHO? WHO? WHO?” and Swerve says he doesn’t know. Winnipeg doesn’t know. But whoever it is, come, present yourself. But wipe your feet before you step into whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But then The Bucks interrupt on the tron. They tell the champ congrats. But guess who else are champs: The Bucks! And uh, they also wanted to stop by because something else has been bothering them. It seems that success has gone to Swerve’s head. The first time he talks after winning the big one, and he badmouths his bosses, the EVPs, on national television, and using curse words?

The network hated that, that is a fine. And maybe Swerve just needs a dose of humility. How do you do that? Well, how about The Bucks arrange the very best, the perfect opponent, for Swerve at Double or Nothing? This man happens to be one of the best Canadian pro-wrestlers of all time. He’s a former champion, and hasn’t been around. But he’s waiting at the go position, ready to meet Swerve! Hit the music in three, two, one. GO! It’s… Christian Cage?! The fans are a bit torn as they were hoping for a different Canadian star, but The Patriarch leads Mother Shayna, Nick Wayne & Killswitch/Luchasaurus to the ring.

Christian gets a mic as he goes up onto the apron. He steps inside, Shayna Wayne by his side, but Nick and Killswitchasaurus lurking outside. There are fans who cheer on Christian, and then he sucker punches Swerve with the mic!! Christian fires off hands and knocks Swerve down, and Nana can only cower in a corner! But Swerve gets up to fire back! And he DECKS Nick! And he BOOTS Killswitch! But then Shayna gets in Swerve’s face. Killswitchasaurus turns Swerve around to HEADBUTT him! And he CLOBBERS Nana! Christian snatches the world title, drags Swerve up, KILLSWITCH on the belt!!

The fans are again torn, but Christian then drags Nana up! He holds Nana in place so Nick can hit WAYNE’S WORLD! Christian then goes back to the mic, and he looms over Swerve to tell him, “There’s something you should know about me. I never forget. I haven’t forgotten that some months ago, you broke into my son, Nick Wayne’s gym and left him in a pool of his own blood. I haven’t forgotten- Keep it down while I’m conducting my business!” The fans boo but Christian says he didn’t forget that at one time, they were a tag team at the biggest show in the history of this business, and Swerve lost! Swerve embarrassed Christian!

Christian’s been waiting for the right moment to make him answer for those mistakes, and Swerve went and won the world championship. It seems like there’s no better time than right now to make Swerve pay for those mistakes. Christian will embarrass Swerve the same way Swerve embarrassed him. Christian will end Swerve’s reign before it even begins, and make him a footnote in the history of AEW! The fans boo more but Christian says he heard that speech last week, Swerve talking about his path to this title, how grueling it was and how he put every ounce of himself into it, to where his own daughter doesn’t even know him.

Christian tells Swerve that when he’s done with Swerve, Swerve’s daughter won’t want to know him! But Christian will promise Swerve this: Swerve’s daughter will have a father she can be proud of for the rest of her life! Christian tells Winnipeg that the same way the Colorado Avalanche walked into their house and took their championship dreams away, Christian will walk into Swerve’s House at Double or Nothing and rip this AEW World Championship from his hands. But Swerve, know this: “The pain has just begun.” And with that, Luchasaurus PULLS Swerve’s hair out of his head! Luchasaurus shows off the braid, will that only be the first trophy The Patriarchy takes?

AEW TNT Championship: Adam “Edge” Copeland VS ??? w/ The House of Black!

After defeating The Rated R Superstar, as well as Mark Briscoe & Eddie Kingston, at Dynasty, the House of Black has answered the call of the #CopeOpen. However, they’re going to keep us guessing until the very moment it’s time to fight! Malakai Black speaks from the shadows that everyone expected him to come out here, all the bells and whistles. But why should Malakai fight Edge now, when watching what he did to Edge infiltrating Edge’s mind is so much more rewarding? Malakai laughs, but then who is coming for the gold? It’s the Aussie Juggernaut, Buddy Matthews! The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the House Always Wins!

The bell rings and the fans rally up as Edge and Buddy stare down. The two tie up, Buddy headlocks, but Edge powers up and out. They RAM shoulders and neither falls. The two reset, tie up again, and Edge headlocks. Buddy powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, and again neither falls. The fans rally as the two circle, tie up, and Buddy headlocks for the takeover. Buddy holds off the headscissors but Edge powers through. Edge has the headscissors, Buddy kips free, but turns around into a headlock takeover. Buddy headscissors, Edge kips free, but Buddy sweeps to a cover! ONE, and Edge sweeps to a cover, ONE!

Skye Blue speaks.

“Willow Nightingale, my former best friend. You’re a damn fraud! You know last time one-on-one in that ring, I had you pinned. If it weren’t for that bald b*tch on a leash, Stokely Hathaway… And Julia and I, last time in Canada, we beat both you and Statlander in a Street Fight. So you know I have your number because I have proved it every damn week. And if you’re even half the woman that you say you are, come prove it tonight on Rampage, and put the TBS title on the line.” The Chicago Skye has made the challenge, will Willow go on a Rampage with her?

Orange Cassidy is here!

Winnipeg fires up for Freshly Squeezed, but surely he is in a sour mood after how the Parking Lot Brawl went. It wasn’t even that Trent Beretta beat Chuck Taylor and won. It was that after the match, Trent used a monkey wrench to all but shatter Chuck’s leg just because he could! Cassidy gets in the ring now and has a mic to say, “I hate this. See, I thought after Saturday, when my Best Friends, Chuck and Trent, got into a parking lot, beat each other up, and get everything out of their systems, we’d come back together, stand here in this ring together, as Best Friends. But see, that’s never gonna happen.

“I have been told that because of what Trent did to Chuck after the match… I have been told that my Best Friend, Chuck Taylor, will never wrestle again.” Fans are shocked and upset, and Cassidy takes off the sunglasses. “So now I’m standing in this ring alone, to tell you, Trent Beretta, that the next time I see you-” Trent interrupts! And he says wow, big surprise! Cassidy is making things about himself again! Trying to make somebody else’s career ending about himself! Cassidy rushes out but the security guards get in the way! Trent says Cassidy is too selfish! That’s why this all happened! Chuck’s career is over because of Cassidy, not Trent!

Cassidy is still pushing through the security guards so Kris Statlander hurries out here to stop him! Trent says Cassidy is the selfish one! Then Don Callis walks out here!? The fans boo as Callis talks Cassidy down, and whispers something to him. Trent says Cassidy is selfish, and Cassidy actually walks away with Callis?! Trent gives a mocking thumbs up, but just what is going on here?

Backstage interview with The Young Bucks.

Renee Paquette is with Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, and says tonight is a big night. Can the EVPs give her any nuggets as to what else is planned? Matt says first off, she’s killing it as always. How’s the family? How’s Jon? Oh, they’re all g- That’s great to hear. But they don’t really have time to talk right now, they’re looking for an old. Has she happened to bump into him yet? No? Okay. Well, they’ve had way too much TV time tonight already, let’s give some to their good friend, The Scapegoat, Jack Perry! Jack tags in for the interview and Renee asks him just what the hell was he thinking attacking Tony Khan last week.

Jack says he meant what he said last week. The only thing he wants is what’s best for AEW. And some people might not see it, but that’s what he did. The funny part to Jack is that Tony Khan is the one who made Jack into “The Scapegoat.” It hurt at the time, but he accepted it at the time because he realized that it was a sacrifice that someone was gonna have to make. But we all have to sacrifice, Tony. And thanks to you, we are entering a new era of AEW, under The Elite! Jack & The Bucks head out, what else is going to happen in their era?

FTW Championship: Chris Jericho VS Katsuyori Shibata!

The Learning Tree has not only changed his attitude and his song, but now he’s changed his look when it comes to his ring gear. All this along with how he has supposedly changed the meaning of the acronym. This is now the #ForTheWorld Championship, because he claims to be doing all this for the world! Well, will The Wrestler cut down The Learning Tree for the sake of the world? Or will even Shibata have something to learn from The Wizard?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly the master!

The bell rings and Jericho claps along with the fans as they rally up. Jericho and Shibata tie up, Jericho arm-drags, then gets all fired up for himself. Jericho waves to the fans, then circles with Shibata. They tie up, Jericho waistlocks, but Shibata switches, snapmares, and clamps on a chinlock. Shibata then floats to a top wristlock, even as fans actually cheer on the “LEARNING TREE!” Jericho fights up, Shibata wristlocks, but Jericho has the ropes. Shibata lets off slowly, but Jericho CHOPS! Shibata CHOPS back! Jericho CHOPS, Shibata CHOPS, repeat! The fans ‘WOO~” and Jericho CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS!

Jericho whips, he CLOBBERS Shibata, then LIONSAULTS legs onto legs! Cover, ONE!! Jericho stays cool as he goes out of the ring. Jericho looks under the ring, goes around the way, and he keeps searching. What does he want? It’s the trash can lid! Just like in his match with Hook! Jericho SMACKS Shibata down! Jericho goes back out and looks for something else. He brings out a black bag! Those are never good… Jericho brings the bag in and dumps out… HOCKEY PUCKS! The fans cheer that, because those are Winnipeg Jets pucks! But then Shibata hits an STO onto the pucks! Jericho writhes, and Shibata drags him up, to snap suplex onto pucks!

Jericho writhes, again suffering from his own idea. Shibata stomps Jericho, grabs that trash can lid, but puts it aside. Shibata brushes the pucks away with his feet, to CHOP! And CHOPS! The fans “WOO~!” as those CHOPS echo out! Jericho stands, but Shibata CHOPS again! Jericho CHOPS, Shibata CHOPS, and then Shibata eggs Jericho on! The fans fire up and Jericho nods. Jericho CHOPS, but Shibata CHOPS! Both men’s chests are getting redder as the CHOPS keep going! Jericho CHOPS, Shibata barely flinches! Shibata CHOPS, Jericho winces, but he still CHOPS! Shibata CHOPS and the fans are all fired up!

Jericho goes to a corner, grits his teeth and comes back to CHOP! Shibata CHOPS right before Dynamite goes picture in picture!

Jericho is starting to get frustrated, but he still CHOPS! Shibata CHOPS again! CHOP after CHOP, neither man is backing down! Oh, but Jericho does feel that one more than the rest! Shibata eggs Jericho on, and Jericho frowns as he looks around. Jericho stares Shibata down, then winds up to CHOP! Shibata CHOPS again! Jericho huffs and puffs but that one really stung. Jericho still CHOPS, Shibata CHOPS again, and this CHOP fight isn’t stopping! Jericho pumps up to COHP! Shibata pumps up to CHOP! Jericho takes a moment, his entire chest is red! Jericho gets in Shibata’s face, snarls and fires up the fans, to CHOP!

The CHOP fest hits another stride! Shibata CHOPS, and CHOPS, and then CHOPS again! Jericho ends up in a corner, he CHOPS back and they speed back up! Shibata CHOPS overhand and Jericho is sent reeling! Shibata doesn’t even seem to care that his chest is bright red! The CHOPS just keep going back and forth, over and over! Jericho needs to catch his breath from the impacts, but he doesn’t stop coming back for more! Winnipeg fires up as the CHOPS just keep going and Dynamite returns to single picture! The fans cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” as the CHOPS just keep ringing out!

Shibata CHOPS, and CHOPS and then finally goes to forearms in the corner! Shibata gives one more CHOP, then he goes corner to corner, but Jericho CHUCKS a puck! Shibata takes it and comes back with haymakers! Jericho trips Shibata into the WALLS OF JERICHO! The fans go wild as Shibata endures! Shibata fights around, reaches out, but Jericho keeps him from ropes! Jericho sits deep on the hold, but Shibata pushes up, tucks ‘n’ rolls and gets the ankles to trip Jericho! Shibata steps through into a FIGURE FOUR! Now fans “WOO~” for a different reason! Jericho grabs another puck as he sits up, to CHUCK it into Shibata’s face!!

Shibata clutches his nose as he lets the leglock go, and Jericho has more pucks! The fans fire up as Jericho goes out to search under the ring. He brings out a kendo stick, and a trash can! Jericho is again recreating his match with Hook, but he also adds another kendo stick. Jericho puts the can around Shibata, then SMACKS it with the stick! And again! The stick is breaking as Jericho SMACKS away with those headshot strikes! Wait, Shibata is standing up!? Shibata is perhaps using the can as armor as he steps into the strikes! Jericho keeps hitting Shibata but Shibata keeps backing him down! Now Jericho’s cornered!

Jericho apologizes, but Shibata TRASH CAN HEADBUTTS him! Jericho sits down, Shibata kicks him, then takes off the trash can! The fans fire up as Shibata lets Jericho hold the can, then runs to HYDRAULIC DROPKICK it into Jericho! Jericho flounders, Shibata covers, TWO! Shibata clears some space, and he finds the kendo sticks! The fans fire up as Shibata dual wields, only to give one to Jericho! Shibata wants a fair fight, after all! Jericho and Shibata circle, but then Shibata sits down? So Jericho does the same. They square up, and Shibata SMACKS Jericho on the ear! Jericho SMACKS Shibata on the shoulder, Shibata returns fire, and the fans fire up!

The SMACKS go again and again, then they clash stick to stick! Shibata disarms Jericho to then SMACK away on Jericho’s leg! Then he gets around, KENDO STICK SAIDO onto the pucks!! Jericho writhes, Shibata goes out and looks under the ring. Shibata brings out a TABLE! The fans go wild seeing that! Shibata puts the table into the ring, props it up in a table, and he fires off JABS and CHOPS! Jericho wobbles with every shot, so Shibata CLUBS him again and again and again! Then CHOPS him! Jericho is against the table, Shibata runs, but into a CODE BREAKER!! Cover, TWO!! The fans fire up as Shibata survives!

Jericho aims from a corner, takes aim, JUDAS- SLEEPER!! Shibata has Jericho caught, but Jericho flails around! Jericho reaches for ropes, but Shibata grabs that arm, ripcords and CHOPS! Jericho falls and Shibata goes back to the table. The fans duel as Shibata takes this table and stands it up in the drop zone. “This is Awesome!” but wait! BIG BILL is here! And he BOOTS Jericho down!! The fans boo as Morrissey saves the Learning Tree and then SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAMS Shibata through the table!! Bill leaves it to Jericho, and Jericho crawls to cover Shibata in the wreckage. Jericho wins!

Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall (still FTW Champion)

Bill saved Jericho #ForTheWorld, and Jericho seems to appreciate that. Will The Learning Tree take Bill under his wing- er, branches, and guide him to success?

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

May the Fourth be with you as AEW takes Saturday night off for the Star Wars movie marathon!

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale, Kris Statlander & Stokely Hathaway.

Renee is with the TBS Champion, the Galaxy’s Greatest and #BigStoke, and she brings up last week’s confrontation with Mercedes Mone. It seemed there was major miscommunication there. Yes, Kris wants to apologizes. Mone had no right to interrupt, Kris was just trying to diffuse the situation, but it backfired onto Willow, Kris is so sorry. Renee pivots to later tonight on Rampage with another challenger in the form of Skye Blue. Yes, Willow will accept the challenge. Because lucky for Skye Blue, last week left Willow in a fighting mood. So Mone, don’t think Willow will forget about that cheap shot.

But Skye, if you want a fight, honey, Willow will mop the floor with you! With this title on the line, Willow will maim, massacre, right here in Winnipeg, Manitoba! Stokely speaks up, saying the worst part is what Skye said about him! And he can’t complain to nobody because those p*icks, the Young Bucks, beat up Tony Khan! And worst part about that is, they did it before payday! But then a technical aid brings Renee her phone. Oh, it’s a text from Matt & Nick… They tell her she’s doing a good job, though she could be smiling more. And let Stoke & Kris know that they are now BANNED from ringside during the TBS Championship! Any interference will strip Willow of the title!

Okay, aside from Stoke’s own words and actions, what’d he do to deserve this!? Kris and Stoke head out, and she makes sure he knows it was his fault. Renee wishes Willow luck, Willow thanks Renee, and she fires herself up. Will the Babe with the Power still be the Face of TBS after tonight?
