AEW hopes the best for Jon Moxley.
As first shared on Twitter by Tony Khan, Jon Moxley is coming to terms with his personal demons, and we here, too, at the Chairshot wish him well.
Kenny Omega w/ Michael Nakazawa VS Alan Angels!
The Cleaner opens Dynamite against a man who’s proven he can keep with him. Independence is fired up for this one, but will Omega have smooth sailing into Full Gear?
The bell rings and Angels SHOTGUNS Omega! Angels fires off in the corner, stomps away on Omega, but lets off as the ref counts. Omega comes back with a hard kick down low! Omega CHOPS Angels, CHOPS him again, then chokes him against the ropes! The ref counts, fans boo and Omega lets off at 4. Omega CLUBS Angels, CHOPS him again, and fans taunt Omega with “KENNY NO BALLS!” Omega CLUBS Angels more, digs his boots in at the corner, but lets off at 4 again. Omega comes back for more and applauds himself but the ref counts again. Omega lets off at 4, whips Angels but Angels rolls and dodges and things speed up, calf kick from Angels! Cover, ONE!
Angels brings Omega up but Omega pokes him in the eye! Fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Omega reels Angels in for a back suplex. Angels lands on his feet, bobs ‘n’ weaves but swings into a full nelson! Angels arm-drags out and Omega goes to a corner. Angels runs in but into a boot! Omega runs in to KOTARO KRUSHER! And then he KICKS Angels right in the side! Omega runs to pie face STO Angels down! Cover, TWO! Omega slashes the throat, drags Angels up and reels him in to hook the leg. AOI SHODOU! Angels flounders, Omega takes aim and BANG! Omega runs but Angels dodges the V-Trigger to roll him up! TWO!!
Omega runs in, blocks the boot and puts Angels on the apron. Angels GAMANGIRIS, then he dodges Omega! Angels builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit into the railing! Angels drags Omega up, but Omega RAMS him into the apron! Omega snarls as he RAMS Angels into the railing! Omega has a wild grin as he brings Angels around RAM him into the apron edge. Angels stands and Omega CHOPS him! Omega whips, Angels tiger feints to kick from the apron! Angels goes up the corner to ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Direct hit again! Angels puts Omega in the ring, climbs up top and CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO!!
Fans fire up and Angels hurries back to the corner. Angels climbs, Dark Order pose, FROG SPLASHÂ onto knees! Omega saves himself and reels Angels in for a BUCKLE BOMB! And then a whip to a pop-up SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Angels survives and Omega is frustrated. Omega drags Angels up, reels him in again and underhooks the arms. Angels resists the lift, Omega keeps trying. Omega throws down palm strike after strike to Angels’ neck! Fans rally and duel as Omega gets Angels back up. Omega underhooks again but Angels fights free! Omega ROCKS him with a forearm but Angels gives it back! Omega hits again, Angels KICKS the leg!
Omega hobbles, JABS, JABS, and Angels responds with forearms! Angels runs but into a CHOP! Omega reels Angels in to full nelson but Angeles breaks free! Angels goes to run but Omega reels him in to CLUB him! Electric Chair, but Angels sunset flips, TWO!! Omega V-TRIGGERS! Cover, TWO!! Omega was too cocky with that cover and fans are fired up! Omega kicks Angels back to ropes, takes aim again, BANG! V-TRIGGER! Omega keeps going, another V-TRIGGER! Cover, Omega wins!
Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall
Nakazawa gets the AEW World Champion a mic to tell Angels, “I never had a chance to thank you. You embarrassed me, you ruined my career, and from that, you gave yourself a great opportunity. But as the God of Pro-Wrestling, Angels, I have the power to giveth, and I have the power to taketh away. Nakazawa, give me the chair.” Nakazawa fetches the chair, just as Omega said. Omega kicks the chair to center and drags Angels over. Electric Chair lift, but here comes HANGMAN! Fans fire up and Omega is panicking! Nakazawa runs up but gets clobbered! Angels snatches the chair away, too! Slingshot, but Omega ducks the Buckshot just in time!
Hangman stares Omega down, and look what Omega left in the ring! Hangman sees the title, and picks it up! Hangman grins as he tells Omega, “I think you forgot something. So I’ll play nice, I’ll lay it right here. You better hold tight to it, you’ve got ten days.” Will the Cowboy take the title from the Best Bout Machine when they finally face off at Full Gear?
Malakai Black speaks.
“Why do men of power always think that their decisions serve more than their own interests?” Tony Khan’s decision to bar Malakai from ringside tonight will not affect anything. It will not change the outcome of this match. And do you know why this decision won’t have an affect? When they assassinated Caesar, it wasn’t just Markus that betrayed him. Ominous words from the Dark Father. Does that mean someone closer to Cody Rhodes is ready to betray him and join the House of Black?
CM Punk heads to the ring!
Independence rocks out for the Best in the World as he gets the mic. The fans chant his name as he squats in the ring. He’s sorry for not doing a stage dive. He’s not in the best mood. He just wants a few minutes to talk to us seriously. “There’s two people who aren’t here today, and one has a very legitimate reason as to not be here, and that’s the name I want to hear chanted, and that’s Jon Moxley.” Fans do chant for Moxley, and then Punk says he could spend all his time listening to that because it is important to him.
Punk has history with Jon Moxley. They’re not super tight or best of friends, but last night, Punk’s traveling here and he gets a phone call. He gets the situation explained to him, and he knows what it’s like to go and go and have to think you’re so tough and be sick yet show up to work and all these things that get compounded. Eventually, it gets to a point where you have to take yourself off the hamster wheel. He’s been criticized for it. But he doesn’t want anyone criticizing Moxley because Punk is so damn proud of him.
And he’ll say one last thing about it: If anyone here or watching at home is in a place where you think you need help, get help! Reach out, text or call someone! There’s nothing harder than you could do but also nothing more courageous. There’ve been plenty of times Punk thought about getting help but didn’t because he thought he was being a tough guy.
Now to the second guy that’s not here tonight… Eddie Kingston. Kingston’s not here so Punk can’t ask him to his face so he has to do this. It might be embarrassing but Punk felt Kingston was embarrassing himself last week. Punk doesn’t like being interrupted, so here we are. Punk doesn’t know what fabricated story Kingston has in his head, maybe there was something Punk did years ago, but there’s no such thing. Fans want him to fight Kingston, and Punk would, but Kingston isn’t here. Fans chant for Full Gear, and Full Gear is an option, but St. Louis is right up the road, so if Kingston has the balls, because Punk has the time, that’s where Punk will accept an apology.
And Punk will leave us with this. Because Moxley isn’t here, there’s a spot open in the title eliminator tournament, and Punk was going to fill that after settling up with Kingston. But now you don’t get that, you don’t get Punk VS Orange Cassidy, you don’t get possibly Punk VS Danielson at Full Gear. Don’t boo Punk, boo Kingston who thinks he’s somebody. Friday, Punk finds out exactly who Kingston is! The Best in the World just called out the Mad King for Rampage, will they go on a rampage in St. Louis?
Miro speaks.
“My God, I cursed you, I warned you, I threatened you. And then I waited patiently. And now the word comes in that The Redeemer, God’s Forsaken Champion, has been put in the title race all of a sudden. Is that you trying to help me? Or are you trying to toy with me? When I look up in anger, do you look down in fear? Because in this tournament, it is you who needs to prove yourself to me, like I need to prove myself to her. For my road home is clear now, and it is going to be paved with skulls with those who dare to stand in front of me! I will be champion! IÂ will be forgiven! IÂ will be loved! And then, you will be forgiven.” Will Orange Cassidy be living on a prayer against the wrath of Miro?
Backstage interview with The Super Kliq.
Alex Marvez is with Adam Cole, The Young Bucks and even Brandon Cutler, pointing out that Full Gear is coming. What is the plan for them? First of all, last week was 100% a fluke! Something like that will never happen again! And do you know why? Because he and the Bucks will remind everyone how bad they are! Nick Jackson says they’re tough guys! They’re not afraid of anyone! But then Christian Cage walks in. Matt Jackson tells him not to do anything stupid. It’s 3v1 (Cutler doesn’t count) and they’ll just beat him down like last time. Bad move, alright? But then LUCHASAURUS walks in! The Bucks try and talk this out, then try to walk away.
But then they throw hands, only to get thrown around! Christian fires hands on Cole while Luchasaurus takes care of both Bucks! And this spills out towards the arena area, just off to the side of the stage! The brawling continues but then Matt LOW BLOWS Luchasaurus! Cole whips Christian into the stage! The Super Kliq regroup to whip Luchasaurus into barriers! But wait! JUNGLE BOY FLIES IN from the stage!! Him being tossed last week did nothing to keep him out of this fight! But then Matt gets up to throat chop him! Matt goes up towards the stage, Christian SPEARS him down!
Christian brings Matt to the metal light structure, gets the arms, but Nick is there! SUPERKICK! The Bucks regroup, Cole crawls out from the tunnel as Luchasaurus stalks behind him! Luchasaurus choke grips the Bucks, throws Matt down and JB RANAS Matt down the ramp! Luchasaurus uppercuts Nick, headbutts Cole, and JB positions Cole for Luchasaurus to CHOKE SLAM Nick onto Cole! JB puts Cole in the SNARE TRAP! Luchasaurus TOSSES Nick down the ramp to join Matt! Christian returns and has CHAIRS! Christian wants to go Rated R as he puts Cole on one chair and gets the other! CON-CHAIR-TO!!
Cole twitches, fans want “One More Time!” but Christian leaves it at this. Will Captain Charisma and the Jurassic Express run through Super Kliq now that they’re back to 100%?
AEW hears from TBS Championship Tournament competitors.
Ruby Soho says that when Tony Khan first announced this tournament, it was monumental for the company. Kris Statlander knows she hasn’t faced Ruby before, but she’s known about her longer than Ruby’s known about Kris. Ruby says she is a big fan of Kris’, and admits this will be one hell of a match. The Galaxy’s Greatest Alien doesn’t need a title to prove herself, but it couldn’t hurt. Ruby’s nervous, but confident. Who comes out of the quarterfinals one step closer to that historic new title?
AAA Tag Team Championships Open Challenge: FTR w/ Tully Blanchard VS Samuray Del Sol & Aerostar!
Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler were very specific, and very sneaky, about this open challenge. It was open to any two luchadors not named Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero Miedo. But will they #FeelTheRegret giving this chance to a duo they don’t know? Or will they actually prove they’re the best luchadors in the world today?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see if Dax & Cash can put their money where their mouths are!
The teams sort out and Cash sneaks up on Samuray. They circle, tie up, Cash powers Samuray to a corner. The ref calls for the break, Samuray avoids the cheap shot and headlocks. Cash powers out but Samuray headstands to handspring and headscissor! Dax gets in but a get a dropkick, too! Tag to Aero but FTR bails out. FTR regroups with Tully for a “timeout,” and take their time returning. Cash gets back in, tags to Dax, and now Dax circles with Aerostar. Aero shows off with his endless handsprings! Fans fire up, Dax flips him off! Dax and Aero tie up, Dax puts Aero in a corner and fires off hands! The ref counts, Dax stomps and CHOPS Aero, then throws uppercuts!
Dax tags in Cash, FTR double whip Aero but he goes up and up and TORNILLO Body attacks! Samuray gets in and gets a boost to double dropkick FTR out of the ring! Samuray springboards to SENTON! Aero runs and ESCALARA! Direct hit on Dax, Samuray starts up the “LUCHA! LUCHA!” chants. Aero puts FTR in then climbs up top to leap, but the double rana is blocked for a HOTSHOT! Cash covers, TWO! Cash is annoyed as AEW goes picture in picture.
Cash mocks the lucha chants, drags Aero to the FTR corner, and Dax gets his cheap shots in while the ref is busy with Cash and Samuray. Even Tully gets in on it as he chokes Aerostar on ropes! Cash hushes the fans then goes back to Aerostar. Cash drags Aero up, chokes him on ropes, but lets off as the ref counts. Cash tags Dax, FTR double suplex Aero to hang him out to dry! Aero flops to the floor, Dax goes out to fetch him and CHOP him against the railing! And then whips him into more railing! Dax gets in the face of some Aerostar fans then puts Aerostar in the ring. Aerostar gets away but just misses the tag! Dax tags in Cash, FTR mugs Aero in their corner!
Cash brings Aerostar up, scoops and RAMS him into the buckles! Aero ends up in a Tree of Woe, Dax tags in, and FTR go corner to corner to double basement dropkick! Cash tags back in, Dax DECKS Samuray, and FTR mocks the lucha chants before Cash whips Dax in! Aero sits up as AEW returns to single picture, and Dax gets posted up the middle! Cash runs over and CLUBS Aero, but Aero fights back with elbows! Cash falls, Aero adjusts, and Aero DIVES onto Dax!! They wipe out into railing, Aero hobbles back to the ring as fans lose their minds, and Cash stands to get a TRUST FALL! Hot tag to Samuray! Samuray CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO!
Samuray fires off on Cash, mule kicks and front kicks! Dax gets in and gets kicks, too, but FTR double whip! They double back drop but Samuray lands on his feet! And does the splits! Aero jumps in to try the double rana again, but he’s caught! So Samuray double missile dropkicks them down! Samuray covers, TWO! Cash survives, Aerostar tags back in. They double whip Cash, then Aero runs in but is put on the apron. Samuray runs in, dodges Cash’s clothesline and comes back, Cash pops him up but he RANAS Dax! Aero RANAS Cash! Double rana covers, TWO!! Tully coaches FTR up but Darby Allin is watching from the shadows!
FTR regroup, Aero ducks and dodges but is put on the ropes. Aero body scissors Dax out, Samuray fires off on Cash! Cash blocks a clothesline to Gory Especial but Samuray slips out! Cash fights off the Shiranui but Samuray slips out of the suplex! Waistlock, switch, SOLINA DEL SOL!! Aerostar springboards and SPLASHES! Cover, Dax breaks it up! Dax drags and throws Aerostar down, but Samuray DIVES, only to be sent into barriers! Dax gets Samuray up, BRAINBUSTER to the floor! Aero BOOTS Dax down, ROCKS Cash, slips under and jumps up to victory roll! TWO!! Cash has it, and the ropes!! FTR win!!
Winners: FTR, by pinfall (still AAA Tag Team Champions)
Another sneaky win for The Pinnacle, but a close one at that! Will their luck run out when the Lucha Brothers come #ForTheirRevenge with the AEW World Tag Team titles on the line?
Backstage interview with Hikaru Shida.
Tony Schiavone presents Shida with a properly repaired 50th win trophy. But Nyla Rose and Vickie Guerrero walk in to sarcastically applaud. Congratulations! What a ride, what a journey, to get to 50. There were some speed bumps, but now she’s hitting a full on roadblock! Because very soon, it is Shida VS Nyla in the TBS Championship Tournament. Enjoy 50 wins. How long did it take her to get there? Nyla says she and Vickie are going to celebrate, because it’ll be an easy win for them. How’s that leg, by the way? The Full Metal Warrior knows she’s going into a battle with the Native Beast at less than 100%, but can she find the heart to overcome those odds?
The Inner Circle heads to the ring!
Independence serenades Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, Santana & Ortiz with their rendition of Judas as they make their way down the ramp. Jericho gets the mic to shout out Kansas City! Last week, Sammy Guevara, the TNT Champion, the Spanish God, won against Ethan Page, which means at Full Gear, 10 Man Street Fight, Inner Circle VS Men of the Year & American Top Team, but Inner Circle gets to choose who faces them at Full Gear! But speaking of, here come The Men of the Year and American Top Team. Dan Lambert would really like to leave this “shi*tstain city” ASAP so let’s get this over with!
Jericho sees Lambert, Scorpio Sky, Ethan Page, and the rest on stage and says, “What an ugly collection of dumb idiots right here.” American Top Team, led by their mascot, “Dan ‘Don’t Call Me Dipsh*t’ Lambert.” Lambert won’t stand for the chants, and defends his face is not that fat! But Jericho, you need to put some respect on his name. He founded this team 25 years ago and made it the greatest gym in the history of the business! That makes him American Top Team member #1! But he has a collection of killers for Jericho to choose from, and an open contract signed by them. So let’s just get started. Fans want Lambert to STFU as the contract is brought down to the ring.
Lambert hopes they pull up a table for four and a high chair for lil’ Sammy, and allow Lambert to go over their menu selection. The main course will be the Men of the Year. The three selections from the MMA portion of the menu starts with former UFC Heavyweight Champions, Andrei Arlovski and Junior Dos Santos! Andrei has the most victories in the HISTORY of the UFC Heavyweight Division! And he knows they’re proud of Big Jake Hager’s Bellator record, but let’s not get a big head over it. Oh, too late. So bigger head. But there’s not one but two undefeated Bellator stars in “Hercules” Dalton Rosta and Austin Vanderford!
These Johnny Come Lately fans may not remember, but the Road Warriors used to say they snacked on danger, and dined on death. Hopefully the Inner Circle has a similar appetite. Time to pick your poison! Well… The contract is here, so they can choose any members. Hager starts it off by calling out Junior Dos Santos! Hager doesn’t want to say Dos Santos looks stupid, but he does look like Popeye. At Full Gear, the Inner Circle will drop him faster than his last fight, aka 71 seconds. That is pretty fast. Santana steps up and calls out Arlovski! He calls himself the pitbull? Hopefully not cuz of that pointy teeth BS he be wearing.
But check it, he’s always had rules and regulations to protect him. But what happens when there are no rules, there are no regulations! You want someone to bite? Bite this! Lambert says these guys belong in this town, because they’re just as dirty and rude. But before they make their third selection, speaking of disrespectful pieces of slime, Jericho had some nasty things to say about Paige VanZant back in Miami! Austin wants in this match for that reason! Austin gets the mic but Paige takes it to say she doesn’t need a man to fight her fights. They should put HER name down, because her schedule’s wide open! And Chris, there isn’t a filter out there that will hide the beating she’ll give him.
Y’know what? Given the look of those tight pants, no one in the Inner Circle has the BALLS to take her on! She could take them all five, by herself! Wait, she wants to take on all five of them by herself? Well that joke writes itself, doesn’t it? Maybe they can put it on her OnlyFans page. Ortiz wants to ask a serious question, and asks it in Spanish. Paige asks what Ortiz just said. Sammy translates it to, “You’re a bitch.” But alright, alright. The Inner Circle knows they have to choose one more. They could choose Paige, she’s tough as nails. They could choose her hubby, Austin Vanderford. They could choose that other guy.
But they are thinking about it, and choosing the guy who said he’s the number one member of American Top Team. Lambert freaks out and says he didn’t mean that literally! They choose DAN LAMBERT!! Fans are loving that! Lambert says check the tape! But he said any member of the American Top Team, and then said he was member number one! If Independence heard that right, say, “Fat Faced Dips*it!” Lambert tells them to shut up but it’s too late! See you at Full Gear so they can kick your asses!!
Backstage interview with Lio Rush, Dante Martin, Matt Sydal & Lee Moriarty.
Tony Schiavone says third time was the charm, what a match we saw on Friday’s Rampage between Sydal and Dante. Matt wants to say something: Congratulations, Dante Martin. Everything Sydal saw in him came to fruition in that match, and he still believes in him. And if Dante still wants to train with Lio and not Sydal, that’s fine. He has plenty of people he can train, such as Lee Moriarty! There is a lot of talent here, and they will go to the top. So let’s see if they mix it up with them! Oh, is that a challenge? Listen, Lio knows who Moriarty is. Very talented wrestler.
But make no mistake, he is not more talented than Dante Martin. Especially not with Lio in his corner. So challenge accepted! They will be ready, and Sydal better be ready to be on the highest flight. Then it sounds like a great tag team match in the works!
AEW TBS Championship Tournament Opening Round: Anna Jay VS Jamie Hayter w/ Britt Baker & Rebel!
The Queenslayer has a score to settle with The Doctor and her crew, but she’ll have to settle for getting at one of the sidekicks first. Will Number 99 keep it 100 and take on the number one seed, Thunder Rosa? Or will Hayter make Jay hate her even more?
The bell rings, Jay and Hayter circle, tie up, and Hayter powers Jay to ropes. The ref counts, Hayter lets off and Jay ducks the sucker punch to kick low! Jay headlocks, Hayter powers out, but Jay runs her over! Hayter gets up, Jay headlocks to a takeover! Hayter headscissors but Jay kips free to get another headlock. Hayter throws body shots, gets the headlock for herself but Jay throws body shots. Jay powers out, elbows Hayter down then covers, ONE! Hayter gets to ropes, Jay is after her but Hayter throws Jay out! Hayter brings Jay around to whip, but Jay reverses to send Hayter into railing! Hayter crashes hard but Jay dares her to get up, so she can kick her down!
Jay puts Hayter in the ring, Jay gets in the ropes but Hayter BOOTS her down! Hayter stomps away on Jay as AEW goes picture in picture.
Hayter brings Jay up, bumps her off buckles, then dusts off her hands before she whips Jay corner to corner. Jay bounces off buckles, Hayter digs her boots into her at the ropes! The ref counts, Hayter lets off at 4 then drags Jay up. Hayter suplexes hard, covers, TWO! Hayter is annoyed and Britt argues the count on her behalf. Hayter brings Jay up, Jay throws body shots but Hayter clubs and stomps her own. Jay comes back with fast hands, then pulls hair! Hayter pulls hair to throw Jay down! Hayter tosses her hair and talks some trash before she drags Jay up and CLUBS her on the back. Hayter stalks Jay, kicks her around, stomps her, then throws her down again.
Hayter steps on Jay for a cocky cover, TWO! Hayter grins and brings Jay up to throw forearms. Hayter has Jay in the corner, she throws more forearms then stomps a mudhole into Jay! The ref backs Hayter off, Britt is there to talk trash while Hayter wraps an arm around ropes and pulls! The ref pulls Hayter back, but Britt chokes Jay! Hayter drags Jay up to suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Hayter is annoyed again as AEW returns to single picture. Hayter has an arm, kicks at Jay but Jay throws body shots! Hayter CLUBS Jay, whips her to ropes, but Jay throws Hayter down! And again! Jay bumps Hayter off buckles, then off more buckles!
Jay whips corner to corner, runs in and HEEL KICKS! Jay brings Hayter around, roars, DDT! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives and Britt is relieved. Jay wraps on a sleeper! Not quite the Queenslayer but Hayter throws her off! Jay gets up and ducks a clothesline, QUEENSLAYER! Rebel gets in, the ref is distracted and Britt grabs at Jay! Jay lets Hayter go to glare at Britt, but Hayter CLOBBERS Jay from behind! Hayter runs to LARIAT! Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
Anna Jay couldn’t win against the unofficial 3v1, and now she gets mugged for it! But here comes TAY CONTI! Britt runs off so Tay fires off on Rebel and Hayter! Britt comes back but gets DECKED! Conti DECKS Hayter then BOOTS Britt down!! And then gives some ground ‘n’ pound! But now she gets mugged by the henchwomen! Rebel gives Britt her belt to put under Conti’s face, but here comes THUNDER ROSA! Rosa has her own beef with Team Britt and she SHOTGUNS Hayter down! Britt retreats, will she be able to survive Tay Conti at Full Gear? Will Rosa tear into Hayter as the next best thing to tearing into Britt?
Mark Sterling and Jade Cargill speak.
Smart Mark says, “Everyone knows that Jade Cargill has a bye in the TBS title tournament, and obviously that’s because of her unbelievable, amazing, undefeated record.” But this Friday, they will watch closely as we see Red Velvet VS The Bunny. But Jade sighs and says it doesn’t even matter who wins, and Sterling agrees, it doesn’t matter who wins. Because whoever wins will meet their ultimate demise, Jade Cargill. And Jade plans on making this short and sweet to rename that title #ThatBitchShow. But who gets to be part of the “pilot” of that show in the quarterfinal round?
MJF is here!
Maxwell Jacob Friedman swaggers out on stage alone and has the music cut as he heads down to the ring. “Let’s cut through the bull, huh, Darby? When all these fresh new faces came into this company, all the boys in the back were sweating bullets. But not us, man. Nah. Cuz we’re pillars. We know for a fact without us, this company doesn’t work.” MJF gets in the ring as he continues. “And out of all the pillars, I mean, we’re already top guys. Have been for awhile. And don’t get me wrong, the other two guys are great, Darby, but they’re not us. Because we have ‘it.’ We’ve had it way before Dynamite ever existed. These fans know who we are, and they know damn well what we’re going to become, and that, my friend, is legendary.
“So why is it that they boo me, and cheer you?” MJF says it used to make him really, really mad, and he’d even lose sleep over it. And he’s not deaf, he hears them every single week. They chant Darby’s name at the top of their lungs. They even do it now. And then it hit him. Of course they hate MJF! He reminds them of their perfect, successful boss, brother, step, ex, hell! He is a symbol of everything everyone wishes they could be, but simply can’t. But Darby is one of them! A misfit, an outcast, “an incel who can barely string together four words.” Darby claims to live life with reckless abandonment, but not because he’s too cool for school. It’s because deep down, he’s not good enough to be a normal, functioning member of society.
The people love Darby because they’re just like him. “You’ll never fit in, and you’ll never win. And sure, Darberino, you might be cool and brooding Darby Allin outside of the ring, but once you step foot in it, that all goes away, doesn’t it?” Darby lets his emotions get the best of him. He goes from proficient pro-wrestler to glorified stuntman. At Full Gear, Darby will lose to MJF because mentally, he’s weak. Darby will lose because he will be too concerned with battering MJF than beating him. He will lose because MJF is better than him, and he knows it. “And one more thing!”
Let’s just say that by some grace of God, Darby changes his ways in 10 days and he doesn’t come running at MJF like a brainless hyena. That’s great, bud, but MJF is still a better wrestler. There is a reason no one has beaten him clean in the ring, and it’s because he’s that damn good! It’s easy to overlook that, Darbs, because when someone is even a fraction as good as MJF on the mic, they can’t hang in the ring. And unfortunately for Darby and the mindless fans, Darby will find out that MFJ breaks the mold. MJF is so much better in the squared circle, he could beat Darby with a headlock takeover.
Darby has a mic and says, “Max. IÂ am an outcast. I’m everything you called me. And at Full Gear, I’m not gonna attack you with my skateboard. I will keep my composure, and we will have a wrestling match. Because I’m gonna let my anger out right now tonight.” Darby heads for the ring and MJF eggs the fans on. “You wanna see it? Too bad.” MJF heads out of the ring before Darby gets there, but Sting and some Darby followers block MJF’s way! MJF is scared back to the ring, but then Shawn Spears and Wardlow rush in to fight the followers! MJF watches that brawl, but he sees Darby is creeping up towards the ring! MJF eggs Darby on, and they brawl in the front row!
Fabs get a preview up close and personal, but MJF rakes Darby’s eyes! And whips him into a barrier! MJF throws off his jacket and shouts at the fans, then he drags Darby back up to bowl off chairs! MJF brings Darby back to the ring, whips, but Darby reverses and MJF hits railing! Darby dribbles MJF’s head off the railing! Fans fire up with Darby as he gets space to run back in and CLOBBERS MJF up and over the railing!! Darby gets MJF up and into the ring! Darby’s up top in a hurry but MJF bails out just as fast! Fans boo as MJF runs around the ring and back to the crowd! Darby stares MJF down from the top rope, and now MJF is the one that’s furious! Will this explode into a fight no matter what either man says?
Cody Rhodes w/ Arn Anderson VS Andrade El Idolo w/ Jose!
The American Nightmare thought he’d settled things with Malakai Black, but things took a twisted turn as the Face of Latinos joined Malakai’s side. Andrade has called out Cody’s entitled and perhaps deluded ego, but will this battle of multi-generational stars end the way Andrade wants?
The bell rings and the two circle as they stare down. Fans rally and duel and Andrade SLAPS Cody! Cody ducks the clothesline to SLAP, kick and Rhodes Uppercut! Cody puts Andrade in a corner to fire off! Cody climbs, rains down fists and gets all the way to 9 before topping it off with the tenth! Cody then wrenches, whips corner to corner, but Andrade reverses. Cody tumbles up and out but Andrade goes out to join him! They brawl, Cody gets the edge but Andrade BOOTS! Cody drops down to TRIP Andrade! Andrade rolls into the ring, Cody slides in and reels him in to put up top! Cody climbs up behind Andrade, Andrade elbows him away!
Andrade adjusts, leaps but Cody anti-air dropkicks him down! Cody kicks and throws more hands, then runs to go up and up, only for Andrade to shove him out! Cody hits the floor, the ref keeps Andrade in, and AEW goes picture in picture.
Arn checks on Cody, Andrade wants after Cody but Cody hobbles. Andrade slips out other side to run around the way and CHOP BLOCK Cody down! Jose applauds Andrade while Cody gets up, Andrade throws a CHOP but Cody throws a fan’s water bottle! Andrade kicks Cody down, drags Cody up and into the ring, then stalks up behind him to KICK the leg out! Andrade stomps Cody down then fires up and fans fire up with him. Andrade stomps, gets a leg and turns Cody over to a HALF CRAB! Andrade twists the leg at an angle, Cody endures, turns over and throws hands! Cody is free but Andrade comes back to KNEE him down! Andrade paces while Cody is on the ropes, and AEW goes to break.
AEW returns as Andrade gets himself back in the ring. Cody hobbles up, Andrade reels him in but Cody elbows him back! Andrade CLUBS Cody, runs, but Cody follows to rally with forearms and clotheslines! Cody scoops and RUNNING POWERSLAMS! Cody fires up, fans are divided and Andrade stands. Cody kicks low, reels Andrade in and underhooks, but Andrade slips out. Cody ROCKS him with a forearm, runs but into the boot feint ELBOW! Cover, TWO!! Cody survives and drags himself to the corner where Arn’s coaching him up. Andrade drags Cody up and stomps a mudhole into him! Andrade grins and fans are also divided as he goes corner to corner.
Cody denies the knees by hitting a LARIAT! Cody calls for it, waits for Andrade to stand and goes for the dragon sleeper. Andrade spins it to snap suplex! Uno amigo! Another snap suplex, Dos Amigos! One more, but Cody fights it as fans chant for Eddie! Cody powers Andrade back but Andrade snap suplexes him into buckles! Three Amigos with something a little extra! Andrade fires up again, fans chant “SI! SI! SI!” and Andrade comes in with CIEN KNEES! Cover, TWO!! Cody survives again but Andrade grits his teeth. Andrade puts Cody in a drop zone, goes up top, and SPLIT LEG- NO! Cody avoids the moonsault, comes back to waistlock, but Andrade elbows out hard!
Andrade throws hands, Cody throws them back! Cody JABS and JABS and JABS and JABS! Flip, flop, fly, BIONIC ELBOW! Cody runs, but Andrade BOOTS him straight up! Andrade runs, Cody trips him and has the leg! But no Figure Four as Andrade slips out and trips Cody! “WOO~!” Andrade gets the leg, FIGURE FOUR! Wonder who he learned that from! Cody endures, keeps his shoulders up, turns and gets things reversed onto Andrade! Andrade endures, reaches, and gets a ROPEBREAK! The leglock is undone, Andrade flops out of the ring. Cody builds speed but Jose stands in his way! So Arn trips up Andrade’s personal assistant to DECK him!
Cody runs and builds speed, to DIVEÂ into a double belt shot from FTR!! Andrade helped them get the AAA tag titles, this is them paying him back! FTR sneak under the ring, Andrade throws Cody in! Andrade drags Cody up, hammerlock for the DDT!! Cover, Andrade wins!
Winner: Andrade El Idolo, by pinfall
FTR reappear to celebrate with Andrade, as does Tully. They then stand Cody back up so Andrade can BOOT him down! FTR mugs Cody, but Arn gets in! Arn shoves Tully and the Horsemen stare down! Fans want to see this one! Tully takes off his jacket, but here come the Lucha Brothers! They brawl with FTR while Tully and Andrade retreat! Arn falls back to help Cody, Fenix whips Cash, Penta whips Dax but things get turned around. Fenix SUPERKICKS Fenix off the apron, the brothers DOUBLE SUPERKICK Dax! Fenix uses the tiger feint to back Cash off, and then Penta gets Dax up! Cash saves Dax from the LB Driver, but they’re 10 days away from Full Gear! Will FTR #FearTheRevenge of Fenix & Penta?
AEW returns as Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
And he’s joined by “Johnny Hungy,” John Silver of the Dark Order! Friday in St. Louis for AEW Rampage, Silver will take on Adam Cole 1v1! Schiavone wants to stay neutral, but he really hopes Silver kicks Cole’s you-know-what. Silver thanks Schiavone for that, but it won’t really be John Silver VS Adam Cole this Friday. No? No, it’ll be John Silver VS #BUDGE. And since #BUDGE has been here, Silver’s been trying to give him some advice. Maybe he should change his hear, get rid of the hair, change his name to Budge, become the Dark Order’s manager, but he hasn’t taken any of that advice. If he did, he wouldn’t have gotten that Con-Chair-To from Christian…
But Cole not taking Silver’s advice makes Silver mad! Silver will be ready! It’ll be the Meat Man, Johnny Hungy, and this Friday, Silver kicks some BUDGE ASS! Silver is hungry for a fight, will Adam Cole be able to give it to him after what we saw earlier tonight?
AEW looks closer at Velvet VS Bunny.
Bunny knows Red Velvet likes to play by the rules as a “nice person.” But being nice doesn’t win you championships. Unlike Velvet, Bunny does whatever it takes. She’ll be the villain of the story if it means winning the TBS Championship. Velvet says The Bunny couldn’t have chosen a better opponent. She better bring everything she has. Velvet beat her once, and under these circumstances, she won’t hesitate to beat that ass again. But with Jade Cargill waiting on the other side, is the winner really just the next big loser?
Bryan Danielson is here!
The American Dragon is already a finalist, having defeated Eddie Kingston in an all-time classic on Rampage. But he wants to be here to personally watch what goes down in the other semifinal match. Bryan joins commentary and thanks JR and Excalibur for having him. He says Kingston didn’t want to give up, so he had to elbow him into oblivion. Kingston was furious and that brought about the incident with CM Punk, but that will be settled with a face-to-face this Friday. For now, we see who heads to Full Gear with Bryan!
AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament Semifinals: Orange Cassidy VS Miro!
This was meant to be Freshly Squeeze’s chance at avenging Wheeler Yuta, but that’s all water under the bridge now. His ribs are still taped up, will he be able to tough it out through another brutal match? Or will God’s Forsaken take matters into his own hands and crush all in his path?
The bell rings and we see Big Money Matt Hardy watching from the crowd again. Hardy’s grudge with Cassidy is far from done, but he’ll simply watch someone else go after Cassidy. Cassidy goes to put his hands in his pockets but Miro rushes in! Cassidy scrambles to another corner, raises his hands again, but then baits Miro into buckles! And he unleashes the “devastating” shin kicks! Miro is not amused, but Cassidy dodges him again and goes to the apron and then around the way to the ramp. Fans cheer as Cassidy puts his hands in his pockets! Miro scowls, rushes out but Cassidy rushes back in and returns, to DIVE! But into Miro’s hands, and an OVERHEAD Belly2Belly!
Miro talks trash as Cassidy writhes, and Miro drags Cassidy up to DECK him! AEW goes picture in picture as Miro POSTS Cassidy! Cassidy crawls, Miro pulls at the rib tape and uses that to drag Cassidy around. Miro throws Cassidy around, pulls the tape away, and gets Cassidy into the ring. Cover, TWO! Cassidy gets to ropes and drags himself up but Miro brings him around to a facelock. Miro has the fans fire up before he suplexes Cassidy high and hard! And then does it again! And then gut wrench TOSSES Cassidy! Miro wants to hear more from the fans, and even climbs the corner to look up at the sky. He seems to ask if God is watching this closely.
Miro stalks Cassidy, drags him up and brings him around to a bearhug! Cassidy endures, throws elbows, but Miro just squeezes tighter! Miro then scoops and SLAMS Cassidy down! Miro lets fans get louder as he rips the rest of the rib tape away. Miro looms over Cassidy, mocks him with the tape, then scoops again. Cassidy slips out to a STUNNER! Miro staggers, Cassidy hobbles up and is in the corner. Miro RAMS into Cassidy then stomps him down! The ref counts, Miro lets off at 4, and AEW returns to single picture. Miro snarls while the ref checks on Cassidy. Cassidy is okay so Miro whips him hard into the corner!
Miro encourages fans to get loud again as he stands Cassidy up. Miro whips Cassidy into the corner, but Cassidy hits back with a forearm! Cassidy fires up and fires off forearms!! Miro shoves Cassidy back, Cassidy dodges in the corner and then shoves Miro into buckles! Cassidy runs to SHOTGUN dropkick! He kips up through the pain and runs, into a tilt-o-whirl DDT! Cover, TWO!! Miro survives but Cassidy throws off his elbow pad! Fans fire up as Cassidy aims from the corner. Miro bails out to avoid the Orange Punch! Miro rests against the timekeeper’s area but Cassidy goes up top! FLYING ELBOWÂ through the table!! Fans lose their minds as both men are down and Hardy talks trash!
Cassidy drags himself back towards the ring and the ring count is 6 of 10! Cassidy’s in, Miro stirs at 7. We’re at 8, then 9! Miro hobble sup and in at 9.99!! Miro survives, Orange takes aim, Miro hobbles up and ORANGE- NO! Miro catches Cassidy to pop him up! Cassidy slips out, gets Miro up, BEACH BREAK!! Cover, TWO!?!? Cassidy shrugs it off, aims from a corner, Miro flounders up! ORANGE- CHOP BLOCK! BEST KICK!!! Miro storms around and shouts, “GAME! OVER!” Stomp and GAME OVER CLUTCH!!! Cassidy taps, Miro wins!
Winner: Miro, by submission (advances to the finals)
And now we know the Full Gear match-up! Bryan goes right to the ring and stares Miro down. Fans are fired up to see these two in the ring together, and Bryan offers a handshake. Miro steps away without taking it. Miro may not respect Bryan now, but will the American Dragon make him show respect after their title contender’s match?
My Thoughts:
Another great episode for Dynamite here. And as they say, the show must go on. It is honestly a great thing for Moxley to go into rehab. The first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one, and a lot of that promo he had last week felt very real. Again, we here at the Chairshot wish Moxley all the best, Moxley can and will definitely get through this. And while I was waiting for Miro to take opportunities for himself on Elevation or Dark, him getting the spot against Cassidy in the tournament and in the main event is great for him. Miro and Cassidy had a great match, but just as Mox was the surefire winner, Miro won here and now we get a great match-up for Full Gear.
Omega VS Angels as an apparent last minute addition was actually great stuff. Great match from Angels again but Omega wins to get momentum, but then the math kinda cancels out as Hangman gets after him and stands tall. There’s still the go-home next week, who knows how that goes. I also like that there’s a lot going on for the Super Kliq, with Christian and Jurassic Express returning but also still beef with Dark Order. Trios Championship tease here since that’s some big trios contenders right there. Also I loved the teasing Silver did to Cole in regards to the RawDown rumors. Cole VS Silver is going to be really good stuff for Rampage this week.
Punk had a great promo because in one go, he gives his shoot support of Moxley and his kayfabe condemnation of Kingston. Punk and Kingston will have a face to face that will definitely turn into a match, and perhaps it gets a spot on Full Gear, not that it has to. Good promos from the TBS tournament entries, but I still see Ruby and Velvet winning. Jade and Sterling had a good promo, and I’m pretty sure Jade wins against Velvet there, too. Hayter winning was a big surprise to me, but I suppose it makes more sense for Team Britt to be on their heels. Rosa will definitely beat Hayter, Britt will surely retain against Conti, I’m sure we’ll still get Britt VS Rosa after all this.
Great to see Samuray Del Sol (aka Kalisto) and Aerostar in AEW and they had a good match with FTR. Could’ve been a bit better but I think Aero went a little too hot into one of those dives and that slowed things down after that. FTR retains, of course, to attempt becoming the next dual champions between AAA and AEW. Still hoping they were going to make this Winner Takes All, but oh well. We got a fun segment from Inner Circle and American Top Team, and I just knew that Lambert would be chosen. Lambert even saying the words that Jericho used against him was a foreshadowing of it. But that was half the reason this was a Street Fight Tag, so that the non-wrestlers could be involved and not worry about the subtle rules. And Lambert is in it to take the loss, count on that.
We also got a good promo from Sydal and Lio, though I didn’t expect Sydal to get weirdly passive aggressive about his protégé leaving him for someone else. But this is great for Moriarty, he really is a great in-ring talent, he and Dante are going to tear it up all on their own. MJF and Darby had a great promo segment, and I like that Sting brought Darby Allin followers like they had for the warehouse fight with Team Taz. Darby clotheslining MJF over the railing was the most physical one of those I’ve ever seen, and their match will probably be very physical for being what Darby promises to be a normal, technical match. Those guys might even steal the show just to prove they are two of the four young AEW pillars.
And I’m surprised Cody didn’t make himself the main event, but I suppose the tournament story should take center stage. Cody VS Andrade was great stuff, and I suppose one way around Malakai’s ringside ban is to have FTR help out. I almost feel like there could be a way to make Andrade a member of The Pinnacle. Or he could even take it over? Who knows, there could be an upheaval the way MJF’s been treating Wardlow. But it was all good stuff to pump up FTR VS Lucha Bros, and puts a bit more heat into Cody’s feud with Andrade and Malakai. Pac should’ve been part of this, too, to keep things going on his end, but maybe that happens in the go-home.
My Score: 9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us to Dynamite in Knoxville, Tennessee, then welcomes out the Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay! The fans fire up as Ospreay makes his way to the ring, and then Schiavone says Ospreay asked for this face-to-face, so here is… KENNY OMEGA! The fans cheer again as now The Best Bout Machine makes his way out here! And he gets a lot of pyro! Omega joins Ospreay and Schiavone in the ring, the fans chant for “KENNY! KENNY!” Schiavone says it is his honor to be in the ring with two of the greats. Ospreay wanted to have this talk, so the floor is his. Ospreay tells Kenny thanks for coming out to join him here. And glad he’s not dead.
Ospreay can’t remember the last time they were in the same ring and not throwing punches at each other, but a lot has changed since Omega’s been away. Ospreay has got nothing to do with the Don Callis Family, and has been trying to change AEW from within. Ospreay didn’t like how Callis was doing business, so he is doing everything in his power to stop it. And to be honest, Omega’s come back at a really bad time. Moxley holds the world title hostage, Ospreay has been trying to get after them, but he keeps running into the Callis Family, and he can’t do this on his own anymore. The fans like where this is going.
Ospreay knows he and Omega have had their differences, but- Omega takes the mic for himself. “Stop. Stop. You said you didn’t remember the last time we faced each other in a ring? Well, Will, let me remind you. It was Forbidden Door. And in that match, not only did you drop me on my head and almost break my neck, but you stabbed me in the head with a screwdriver, the same one that Don had used months before. As far as I’m concerned, that makes you no better than him. And why did you do it, Will? Why? All because you were trying to prove that you were the best. You were trying to prove that you were better than me.
“Well, Will, not only did I not believe you were better than me back then, but I sure as hell don’ believe you’re better than me now. And it took diverticulitis to almost kill me for people to even know that you existed. So now that I’m back, Will, now that I’m back… Congratulations on being number two, because number one is standing right here in front of you. So if you’re here to apologize and ask for my help, the answer is no chance in hell. Because I will never trust someone like you, bruv!” Ospreay gets in Omega’s face and tells him, “Listen here, you little p*ick!” Ospreay makes sure Omega doesn’t look away, but then here comes Don Callis himself.
Omega and Ospreay are still mad with each other but Callis says, “Well look at these two prima donnas!” But like before, Omega rushes him at the ramp! The fans cheer, but here comes Konosuke Takeshita! The Alpha brawls with Omega to keep Callis safe! Ospreay is conflicted, but then Kyle Fletcher attacks Omega! Ospreay hates Kyle more than he does Omega, so he goes after the Protostar! The fans fire up as the brawl just gets bigger! Ospreay puts Kyle in the ring, ducks ‘n’ dodge shim, then RAN- NO! Kyle stops that to pop Ospreay up! But Ospreay pops free, dodges, and handsprings! NEURALIZER KICK!
The fans fire up as Ospreay fires off on Kyle in a corner! But Konosuke drags Ospreay down! ALPHA ELBOW! But Omega gets Konosuke! SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Omega fires up and the Terminator Drums begin! Omega builds speed, but Kyle SUPERKICKS him down! The fans boo while Kyle seethes. Kyle drags Omega up to toss him out, but fans tell off Callis. Kyle BOOTS Ospreay over railing! Callis and Konosuke mug Omega! Kyle grins, and he uses a chair to LAUNCH himself into Ospreay! The fans boo while Kyle stands Ospreay up, and whips him, only for Ospreay to reverse! Kyle is sent into barriers and Ospreay beats Kyle down!
But wait, the rest of the family is here! Lance Archer goes after Ospreay! The fans boo but the Murderhawk hauls Ospreay up for a CHOKE- NO, Ospreay goes to the railing! Ospreay fires hands, but Archer LOW BLOWS! Then he DECKS Ospreay into the upper deck! The fans boo as Archer climbs up with ease, but Ospreay fires hands in return! Archer CLUBS Ospreay, they go up into the crowd, and cameras do their best to find where they went! They go down the stairs at the back! Brian Cage has appeared to beat up Omega, and Archer sends Ospreay into the merchandise stands! But Omega fires hands on Cage, and on Konosuke!
Archer CHUCKS a table, Ospreay dodges it! Ospreay ROCKS Archer, fires more shots, but Archer ROCKS Ospreay in return! Archer slides Ospreay along the merch table like it’s a bar fight! Cage CLUBS Omega, Archer drags Ospreay up, but Omega throws trash cans at the others! Omega CLUBS away on Archer, but Archer just grabs him now! But Ospreay and Omega work together! They mug Archer, then DOUBLE SUPLEX him through the tables! The fans are thunderous, but then Cage returns! He CHUCKS a trash can into Omega’s face! Cage, Konosuke and Kyle mug Ospreay and Omega 3v2 while Callis checks Archer.
The brawl goes around the back side of the bleachers, Konosuke puts Omega in a SLEEPER while Kyle and Cage CHOKE Ospreay! Omega breaks free, but Konosuke CLAWS Omega’s eyes! Konosuke reels Omega in, but Omega fights free of the suplex! Konosuke ROCKS Omega again, but now security has appeared! The brawling keeps going, but Ospreay breaks free to ROCK Cage and ROCK Kyle! Ospreay runs up, but Kyle ALLEY-OOPS him, only for Ospreay to grab the railing up above! Ospreay kicks Kyle away, then wait! Omega is climbing the lighting truss! They coordinate, and they DOUBLE ARIHARA MOONSAULT onto the Don Callis Family!!
The fans are losing their minds as Omega and Ospreay stand together! They climb up the truss so they can see Callis as he cowers on stage! Omega has a mic again, and he tells Callis, “We saw what you did to your boys! You saw what we did to your boys! Don Callis, the next time we get a chance, it’s gonna be you we put six feet down under! And speaking of down under, oh boy do I have an idea. Will, you wanted an apology? Maybe it’s me that should apologize. I should’ve trusted you from the beginning. So what do you say, Will? What do you say, people? Let’s restore that feeling we were looking for, in Brisbane, Australia!
“Grand Slam is gonna be me and Will against the hometown boy~, Kyle Fletcher, and Takeshita. Oh yeah, Takeshita, my little young boy! Takeshita & Fletcher, Ospreay & Omega, Australia, LET’S GO!!” The fans love that! Omega says it has been awhile, but let’s say it together, shall we? Goodbye, MWAH! And good, night, BANG!! Now hit his music, cuz he’s scared of heights. The music plays, Ospreay & Omega climb down, but will they tear the Callis Family down once and for all?
The Death Riders speak.
Jon Moxley says, “Tonight, we bring you AEW in Knoxville, Tennessee. The elite, the best of the best, we bring you Pac in the main event. Adam Copeland went to sleep in 2011, woke up in 2025, in a world where he doesn’t belong, in a world that he doesn’t understand. Where the animals are bigger, faster, stronger, meaner, and smarter. But there are plenty of weak, pathetic creatures around here, and we’d be glad to just throw your carcass on top of the pile, Adam. Adam Copeland’s neck is handing on by a thread, man. Bryan Danielson’s neck was hanging on by a thread, too. I finished the job for him. Darby Allin had a death wish for his career. I gave it to him.
“What I’m saying, Cope, is that maybe the next time you go to the doctor, you get some bad news. Maybe your next doctor’s visit is a worse case scenario. And in that case, I won’t lose even a little bit of sleep over it. I don’t sleep much, anyway, I don’t have time to sleep. I don’t have time for relics from the past, there’s too much work to do. We’re building a future.” Moxley leads the way out, will this be the last night AEW goes Rated R?
AEW World Tag Team Championships: Private Party VS The Hurt Syndicate!
Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy won these titles after putting it all on the line against The Young Bucks, but now they might have to do that all over again in this title defense. Can they keep the party going even against men who hurt people? Or will the All Mighty & the Standard of Excellence make good on their SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and who are the real VIPs in AEW!
The teams sort out and the fans duel as Lashley starts against Quen. Lashley stares Zay down, then circles with Quen. Quen slips around to headlock but Lashley powers up to SLAM Quen down! Lashley then runs, but Quen dodges the lariat to PELE! Lashley staggers, Zay tags in, and we get some PARTY IN MOTION! Lashley staggers some more, but he comes back to LARIAT Zay! Lashley hushes the fans, then he drags Zay up. Lashley shoves Zay to the corner, LARIATS him again, then tags Shelton. Shelton stomps Zay, brings him up, and DECKS him! Shelton looms over Zay, scoops him, but Zay slips free to shove Shelton into a shoulder from Quen!
Shelton staggers, Zay runs up, and Quen is there for some SILLY STRING! Tag to Quen and he brings Shelton back up! Zay climbs, Private Party hit the SWANTON NECKBREAKER COMBO! Cover, ONE!! Shelton is tougher than that but Private Party keeps on Shelton. But Lashley grabs Quen at the ropes! Quen fires elbows, Zay CLUBS away on Shelton, then Zay runs to triangle jump STUNNER! Lashley falls, but here comes Shelton! Private Party DUMP him out, then they both build speed! DOUBLE DIVES, but into clinches! DOUBLE OVERHEAD SUPLEXES! MVP says they’re throwing a Private Party! Get it?
MVP tells the guys to bring Zay over. Shelton whips Zay to Lashley, and he SPINEBUSTERS Zay through the desk!! MVP says, “We Hurt People!” The fans are thunderous, and The Hurt Syndicate stalks Quen while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref wants the Syndicate to back off, and then he checks Zay. Doc Sampson also checks, and we get a quick replay from high above to see just how hard Zay hit the desk. The Syndicate stands down for the moment, and Quen also checks on Zay. Zay is stirring but MVP wants Doc to call it now. Shelton storms back out to scoop and SLAM Quen on the floor! Shelton puts Quen in the ring, Lashley RAMS into Quen again and again! The ref counts, Lashley stops at 4, and he lets Quen sputter in the corner. Lashley looms over Quen, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Lashley fires elbows! Lashley whips corner to corner, runs up, but into a BOOIT!
Quen goes out, Lashley ROCKS him firsT! Lashley runs to BLAST Quen off the apron! Tag to Shelton and he runs up on Quen to send him into apron, then railing, and back again! Quen hits railing again and he falls to the floor! Shelton drags Quen up and fans want that “One More Time!” Shelton obliges and he THROWS Shelton into the railing! Quen falls in a heap while Shelton refreshes the ring count. Shelton puts Quen in, the fans rally behind the Syndicate, and Shelton TOSSES Quen overhead! Cover, ZAY BREAKS IT! Zay still lives and the fans are torn! MVP says he’s not even mad, that is impressive.

The fans fire up, but here comes Shelton!
Shelton waistlocks Quen to GERMAN SUPLEX! Then GERMAN SUPLEX again! Quen flounders, Lashley hauls Quen up for the MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER! Shelton runs at Zay, STEP-UP KNEE! Then Lashley SPEARS Zay again!! Cover, Hurt Syndicate wins!
Winners: The Hurt Syndicate, by pinfall (NEW AEW Tag Team Champions)
They certainly hurt people! They just crashed the party, crushed the party, and now they have the gold! Will nothing stop the Hurt Syndicate from owning AEW?
Mariah May speaks.
“I am the most disrespected champion in AEW history. I have raised this title to a level it had never seen before. Every match, every moment, every massacre. And I made it all look so good! And how does this company repay me? By enabling a deranged woman, for a second time. This is what you have for your champion? A woman I played like a dysfunctional fiddle and beat without blinking an eye? Fine. Let’s play your game, and I will scramble her shallow brain even worse than I did the first time! And when she’s gasping for air whilst I’m grasping my gold, every fan and every person in AEW will realize one thing: You don’t deserve me! Toni Storm? I can’t wait to ‘meet’ you.”
Backstage interview with Toni Storm.
Renee Paquette is with said challenger, and says this Saturday Night Collision, Toni will meet Mariah face-to-face ahead of their AEW Women’s Championship match at Grand Slam: Australia. What does Toni anticipate will happen? Toni says she’s just so nervous and excited! She doesn’t know what she’s gonna say. Harley Cameron walks in and says yes! Excellent! Harley says from “one non-quirky Australian to another,” she just wants to wish her good luck. Toni says there’s no reason Harley can’t wrestle in Australia, too! Really? Yeah!
Toni knows people think she’s a bit of a Bogan, but mate, they put on one hell of a match for two Sheilas fat assing around in a couple of budgie smugglers, don’t you think? And then Harley busted out the guitar, Toni was like, “Good on ya!” Harley says cheers, mate! She admits, when she first met Toni, she thought Toni was a bit of a neg, but Toni sure had one bloody ripper of a show! Good on ya! That’s the type o’ Sheila she’d do a shoey with! Toni says, “See you in Australia.” Harley says yeah, see you in Australia! The Aussies are bonding, but will the Homecoming in Jacksonville go smoothly? Or will The Glamour be spewin’ (real mad) on Collision?

PLAY BY PLAY
Rated FTRunners & “Powerhouse” Hobbs speak.
Dax Harwood says, “12 men, one ring, chaos will ensue.” Truth Magnum says the only thing he knows for sure is that if you think you can mess around with the Outrunners and not find out, you got a better chance of pissing in a hot sauce bottle! Tell ’em, Turbo! Turbo Floyd says messing with the Outrunners is one thing, but what about this big super group right here? The best super group since the Yankees! Give it to ’em, big man! Hobbs says on Wednesday, he almost had that AEW World Championship. But even with a bad leg, he’ll hobble out there and beat dat ass! Cope adds that Moxley better shut up and listen.
The Rated R Superstar himself is coming for The Maniac, and he is going to take that AEW World title. The road to that starts tonight, Cash says #TopGuysOut.
Kazuchika Okada speaks.
The Rainmaker tells “Ishii-san, you are the Stone Pitbull. So~ scary~! But I’m the Continental Champion. You were my friend. I used to look up to you. But tonight, I’ll put you down like the dog you are. B*tch!”
Christopher Daniels speaks.
“Hangman Page, I tried over and over to explain my intentions to you, but it seems that all you understand is violence! Well, if you want violence, I’ll show you how violent I can become. Tonight, Hangman Page, Fallen Angel, Texas Death Match!”
Hangman Page speaks.
“Christopher Daniels, for far too long, I have listened to the ruminations and opinions of how I should live my life from old men like you. CD, you are wrong. And you are long in the tooth. Tonight, Texas Death, I take you out to pasture.” The Blackhat Cowboy is ready to put the Fallen Angel out of his misery, but will he hit that Buckshot right in Daniels’ face?
Texas Death Match: Hangman Page VS Christopher Daniels!
No sense in waiting to find out, the Cowboy and the Fallen Angel start us off! Will “Maximum Carnage” be an understatement after these two go until one man can’t keep going?
The bell rings and the fans rally up already. Hangman and Daniels stare down, step up, and Daniels says Hangman could’ve just let it all go. It didn’t have to be like this! The fans duel, but Hangman SLAPS Daniels! Hangman throws hands in the corner, but Daniels CHOPS in return! Daniels ROCKS Hangman, RAMS him again and again, but Hangman CLUBS Daniels back. Hangman fires hands, but Daniels kicks low! The shots go back and forth but Hangman ROCKS Daniels! Hangman CLAWS Daniels’ eyes, then fires body shots and haymakers! Hangman CLUBS away on Daniels, the fans fire up, and Hangman whips corner to corner.
Daniels reverses, runs up, but into a BOOT! Hangman rains down fists, then lets off to pace around. Daniels bails out, but Hangman runs to triangle jump LARIAT! Daniels falls to the floor, but he rises up, into a PLANCHA from Hangman! The fans fire up again while the ref checks Daniels. Daniels is in this but Hangman puts him in the ring. Hangman snarls, but Daniels WRECKS him with a dropkick! Daniels then aims, ARABIAN- NO, Hangman YANKS Daniels down, then sends him into railing! The fans are torn as Hangman grabs a chair! Hangman runs up, and he CLOBBERS Daniels with the chair!
Daniels flounders, Hangman fires the fans up, then he puts the chair in the ring. Hangman grabs more chairs, and Daniels rises up. Daniels is busted open, but Hangman shoves Daniels into the ring. Hangman goes looking, and he brings out BARBED WIRE! Hangman is escalating this quickly as he goes for Daniels’ face! Daniels fights back, but Hangman still DIGS the wire into Daniels’ forehead! He was already bloodied but it’s only gonna get worse! The fans tell Hangman he’s sick, but Hangman LASHES Daniels on the back with the wire! And LASHES him again! Hangman then puts the wire in Daniels’ mouth!!
The fans are freaking out as Hangman is practically flossing Daniels’ teeth with the wire! But Daniels throws Hangman away! Daniels blocks a kick, ducks a lariat, but then the BOOT comes back! Daniels is down, Hangman grabs the rest of the wire, and he wraps it around his arm! Hangman aims, Daniels staggers up, BARBED WIRE ROLLING ELBOW! Daniels falls again, Hangman holds up the wire and the fans cheer, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Hangman stalks Daniels to the ropes, then CHOKES him! Hangman only lets off so he can grab a chair. Hangman sits that chair up, and Daniels sputters from behind his crimson mask. Hangman sets another chair up, those sit facing each other. Hangman brings Daniels over, fireman’s carries, but Daniels fights free! Daniels staggers to a corner, Hangman runs up, but into a BOOT! Daniel runs up, but into a POP-UP POWERBOMB onto the chairs! Daniels writhes and Hangman snarls. The standing count starts, but Daniels uses ropes to stand at 5 of 10! Hangman KICKS him in the side!
Hangman grabs a chair, wedges it into a corner, but Daniels flops out of the ring. Daniels is buying himself as much time as he can but Hangman clears everything else out of the ring. Hangman storms after Daniels, scoops him, and FALL AWAY SLAMS him onto the floor! Daniels writhes again but Hangman goes looking under the ring again. Hangman brings out a TABLE! Hangman positions the table to be ringside, but Daniels drags himself to the apron. Hangman goes up to join Daniels as Maximum Carnage returns to single picture. Hangman brings Daniels over, Alabama Lifts, but Daniels CLUBS away on Hangman’s back!
Daniels underhooks! Hangman lifts! Daniels fights and slips around, to then LARIAT Hangman into the ring! The fans rally up and Daniels steps back in. Daniels storms up on Hangman, but Hangman sends him into the chair! Daniels falls back, the chair stuck around his head! Hangman snarls again while Daniels sputters. Daniels rolls out and ends up on the table, so Hangman runs to DOUBLE STOMP him down through the table!! The fans lose their minds, the standing count begins, and Hangman watches Daniels crawl. Daniels manages to rise at 7, but Hangman KICKS him back down! Hangman rains down fists on the bloody forehead!
Hangman goes looking, and he finds a table with barbed wire on it!! Hangman shoves that into the ring, careful not to poke himself too bad. Hangman sets this monstrosity up near a corner, and Daniels has made his way to the apron. Hangman climbs the corner to bring Daniels up. The fans are already worried, and Hangman Alabama Lifts Daniels! Daniels fights with everything he has left! Daniels HEADBUTTS away on Hangman, then fires down elbows! Daniels slips in, clinches, and URENAGE DOWN THROUGH THE BARBED WIRE TABLE!!! The fans lose their minds while both men are down!

Daniels storms up, and Hangman DIGS the wire into Daniels’ face!!
Daniels staggers away, Hangman wraps his arm again! BARBED WIRE BUCK- FLATLINER!! KOJI KLUTCH!! Hangman endures, the fans fire up, and Daniels squeezes as tight as he can! But Hangman DIGS the wire into Daniels’ face again!! Daniels lets go, sputters through the blood, and slowly rises. Hangman aims, lifts, but Daniels grabs ropes! Daniels holds on, but then lets go to underhook! ANGEL’S WINGS!! Both men are down so the count is on them both! Daniels is already up at 5, Hangman is up at 6! The fans fire up for another URENAGE! Daniels points to the corner and the fans fire up!
Daniels goes up, up, BEST MOONSAULT EVER!! But Daniels isn’t done, he grabs what’s left of the barbed wire table and pushes it onto Hangman! BEST MOONSAULT EVER onto the wood!! Daniels crushes Hangman under the wood, then shoves it aside! Fans hope these tow “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Hangman is still down at 5 of 10! And at 7! Hangman scrambles to his feet at 9!! Hangman is bloodied but he’s going nuts! He steps on the chair so Daniels can’t use it! Daniels ROCKS Hangman, Hangman LARIATS Daniels! Scoop and tuck! TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER onto the chair!!
Daniels crawls with one good arm, and he’s somehow still in this! Fans want that “ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!” Hangman waits on Daniels to stand, then reels him in! Alabama Lift, DEADEYE onto the chair!!! Daniels sputters but he’s staying down! Hangman goes to the apron and he loads up all the same. Daniels somehow rises up before 5 of 10, so a BUCKSHOT from behind takes him down!! The count starts again while Hangman stands over Daniels. The count is 5 of 10, then 7. 8! 9! 10!! Daniels is done, Hangman wins!
Winner: Hangman Page, by knockdown
The medics check Daniels, but Hangman leaves him behind. But then on second thought, Hangman drags Daniels up! Underhooks and ANGEL’S WINGS!! Hangman adds insult to injury by using Daniels’ own move!! Hangman storms off, leaving Daniels to the medics. Is this the end of the Fallen Angel? Is this only the beginning of Hangman’s violent road back to the world title?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to Maximum Carnage, and he welcomes out Toni Storm! Cincinnati fires up as The Rockstar is back again, and “Rookie” Toni joins Schiavone in the ring. Schiavone notes her historic win in the inaugural Women’s Casino Gauntlet, and with it, her shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship! It will be Grand Slam: Australia, Toni’s hometown of Brisbane, how does she feel? Toni says honestly, she doesn’t even know what her life is right now. It is so surreal! All she can say is, her dreams are finally coming true!
Because she’s going to Australia, to the building where she saw her first wrestling show, and she’ll never forget how her mom scraped together all she could so that they could get tickets, just to sit in the back row. Mom sold hot dogs to pay for Toni’s training. Mom sewed together Toni’s original ring gear. Now Toni can call mom and tell her, “Get ready, cuz I’m coming home!” The fans cheer that! Schiavone says that is a great feeling, but Toni surely realizes she is facing Mariah May, and that is an entirely different feeling. The fans boo Mariah, but Toni says Mariah is “the best in the business today. She’s killing it!”
But Toni hasn’t even had a chance to introduce herself to Mariah. Maybe next week, in Jacksonville, Daily’s Place, the home of AEW… It’s time for Toni and Mariah to finally meet face to face. The fans cheer, but Schiavone wants Toni to understand. C’mon now, Toni. Aw, c’mon yourself, Schiavone! It’s Tony and Toni! That means… IT’S TONI TIME~! WOO~! Say it with her! Okay. It’s TONI TIME! The fans cheer and Toni gets Tony to be all fired up! But the point Schiavone was trying to get to is valid: Is Toni really unaware of her timeless rivalry with The Glamour?
The Hurt Syndicate speaks.
It was after the show on Wednesday that MVP said a definitive statement was made. MVP promised Lashley & Shelton that when they came to AEW, the championship gold would be theirs for the taking. The All Mighty has never been a tag team champion while the Standard of Excellence has many times. That changes everything. With the defeat, the ASS KICKING, they just put on Private Party, that should make the Hurt Syndicate the #1 contenders. So Private Party, time to crash the party! Next week, in Knoxville, Tennessee, Private Party better put up the AEW World Tag Team Championships against Shelton & Lashley. See what you’ve really got!
But just remember: #WeHurtPeople. Lashley says this ish is gonna be easy. He and Shelton fist bump, but will they put the hurt on Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy?
Six Man Tag: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Shane Taylor Promotions!
Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly are reunited once more, ready for more, and they have all sorts of targets in mind. But Lee Moriarty, Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo have their eyes on those same championship targets, which is why they’re crossing paths here tonight. Will #TAIGASTYLE & The Infantry show the Kingdom how to rumble, bad men, rumble? Or will Maximum Carnage be undisputed?
The trios sort out and the ROH Pure Champion starts against Adam Cole BAYBAY. They circle, tie up, and Lee already gets a leg pick. Lee then switches to a waistlock, Cole switches with him, repeat. Cole headlocks, Lee powers up and out, but Cole KICKS the backdrop! Cole then dodges the lariat, PELES, and he brings Lee over. Tag to Roddy, they mug Lee, and Roddy CHOPS! Roddy CHOPS again, then wrenches to a wristlock. Lee rolls, slips through, traps the arms, and he pulls on an ear! Tag to Dean, STP mug Roddy, and then Dean scoops, only for Roddy to slip free. Roddy shoves and DROPKICKS Dean down!
The fans fire up, Strong tags Kyle, and they CHOP and KICK away on The Captain! lee runs up, Kyle KICKS him down! Kyle & Roddy double suplex Dean onto Lee! Cover on Dean, TWO! Kyle drags Dean up but Dean JAWBREAKERS free! Tag to Carlie but Kyle kicks, clinches, and fires Muay Thai knee after knee! Kyle KICKS Carlie down, then stalks him to ropes. Kyle whips, Carlie reverses, and Dean trips Kyle up! The ref is arguing with Carlie, and now with The Kingdom, as Dean hits an APRON CUTTER! Carlie goes up and out to then GUILLOTINE AX HANDLE! Kyle flops down, STP pose together, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Kyle sputters, The Infantry distract the ref, and that lets Shane THROW Kyle into railing! Shane DECKS Kyle while The Kingdom protests! The ref keeps everyone back, and Dean brings Kyle around. Carlie puts Kyle in the ring, whips him to a corner, then storms up to JAB! JAB! JAB! Carlie pops, locks ‘n’ winds up, to CHOP! Carlie talks smack, tags Dean, then Dean sends Carlie in to SPLASH! Dena runs up, whips Carlie in again, forearm SMASH! Then Dean ELBOWS Kyle! Kyle staggers, into a LARIAT from Dean! The Captain scowls while he stands over Kyle. Dean then pushes Kyle to a cover, TWO!
Dean drags Kyle back, anchors him, then tags Lee. Lee drags Kyle up to UPPERCUT! Kyle staggers around, Lee Mongolian CHOPS! Kyle staggers some more, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns while both Kyle and Lee are down. The fans rally up, both men crawl, hot tags to Dean and Cole! the fans fire up as Cole dodges Dean, BLASTS Lee & Carlie, but Dean waistlocks! Cole elbows free, then LARITS Dean down! And ELBOWS him! And BOOTS him! Dean staggers, Cole fireman’s carries, USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Cole keeps his focus and he climbs a corner. Dean rises, for the PANAMA- NO, Dean slips under the sunrise! But Cole SUPERKICKS! Cole suplexes, LAST SHOT! Cover, TWO!! Well, not quite the last shot, so Cole tags ROddy. Rioddy hauls Dean up to CHOP away!
Roddy runs, BLASTS Carlie, then runs to SHINING WIZARD Dean! Side to side, forearm SMASH! Then a RUNNING FACEBUSTER! Cover, Carlie & Lee break it! STP mugs Roddy, double whips, but Roddy grabs ropes! Roddy BOOTS and ENZIGIRIS Lee, Kyle sneaks a tag! Roddy TOSSES Carlie and Kyle FLYING KNEES him down! Lee runs up but Cole gets him with 52 Fake Out! Then a PANAMA SUNRISE! The fans fire up as Dean staggers up! Roddy & Kyle call their shot, TOTAL ANNIHILATION! Cover, Undisputed Kingdom wins!
Winners: The Undisputed Kingdom, by pinfall
STP put up quite the fight, but now Shane himself CLOBBERS Kyle! And he blocks a kick to KNEE Cole down! And he HEADBUTTS Roddy down! The fans boo but Big Bad Shaney T is that bad! He talks trash, even to Daddy Magic! Matt Menard says alright then! If Shane thinks he’s bad, then step to him! Or rather, step to DANIEL GARCIA! The TNT Champion makes his way out here, and he CLOBBERS Carlie! He CLOBBERS Dean! And he fires hands on Shane! Garcia throws off his jacket, storms in, and he fires more hands! Shane shoves Garcia away, but Kyle KICKS! Cole SUPERKICKS! Strong KNEE!
Daniel reels Shane in, SAIDO! The fans fire up as Garcia and the Undisputed Kingdom stand tall together! STP retreats, but then The Kingdom eyes that TNT Championship. Garcia holds it up, and he dares any which one of them wants it to come get it. Who will be the first from The Kingdom to challenge the Red Death?
AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Alicia Atout was with Will Ospreay and asked him about the save he made for Kenny Omega against the Don Callis Family. What are his thoughts after all that? Ospreay says you can call it a save for Kenny but it was really Ospreay trying to get after Kyle Fletcher. But hey, he and Kenny have had their differences. Their battles in Japan and Canada have gone down as legendary. But they both know each other because of Don Callis. That is their link, that is how they’re tied together. Before, it was all about egos, but to be honest, this is bigger than both of them. Time they had a chat. Next week, Dynamite in Knoxville, Ospreay calls out Kenny to have that chat.
The Bruv wants to talk with The Best Bout Machine, will they come to an agreement when it comes to their common enemies?
Brian Cage & Lance Archer w/ Don Callis VS Top Flight w/ Leila Grey!
Speaking of Don Callis, his Murder Machines are back in action, ready to make #EverybodyDie! Will Cage & Archer be waiting on the other side of Private Party VS Hurt Syndicate for their tag title shot? Or can Dante & Darius Martin show that the bigger they are, the harder they fall?

The Sight to See is rubbing salt in the wounds of his former friends, and Lio Rush attacks from behind! the fans boo as The Bad Child beats down Dante, TOSSES him out, then beats up on Darius! Leila wants them to stop, but Action just talks trash on Darius. The fans boo more but Lio goes up the corner. Action smiles as Lio gives Darius the FINAL HOUR!! Is this the final hour for Top Flight? Or will they make sure Lio & Action get what’s coming to them?
Backstage interview with The Learning Tree.
Lexy Nair is with Chris Jericho, Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey, and she asks Jericho about how on Dynamite, he assured us all that The Learning Tree and The Death Riders would be on the same page, and that Jon Moxley can trust them. How is Jericho so sure that things will go well when The Death Riders didn’t even show for this interview? The Redwood says, “As the Learning Tree always says, ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder.'” Jericho says that’s so true. And Moxley isn’t the type to show up and do interviews. Jericho isn’t the type to stand here and allow someone to stir the pot.
So enough of this muckraking! Bryan Keith adds, “No mother effin’ muckraking!!” Lexy is a bit taken aback, but Jericho tells Moxley that he’ll address him directly. They’ve known each other a long time. They were the first two AEW World Champions! They have beaten the hell out of each other around the entire world! Moxley left this scar right on Jericho’s left eyebrow. See? And Jericho took a spike and tried to take Moxley’s eye. So like Jericho said, they’ve beaten each other all around the world, but tonight they have common enemies! Moxley knows there is no one in AEW as driven or as smart as Moxley as Jericho.
So if Moxley’s as smart as Jericho thinks, it would behoove Moxley to trust The Learning Tree. And if there’s any doubt, then The Learning Tree will prove it to you before you meet them in the ring. Lexy asks what he means, but Jericho counters with, “What does anything mean, Lexy?” Jericho storms off, Bill says that was a sick burn. Keith says it was a sick ass burn! The Learning Tree heads out, but seriously, what does Jericho mean? How’re they going to prove themselves to The Death Riders before their 12 Man Tag?
Backstage interview with Matt Menard & Daniel Garcia.
Collision returns as Lexy is now with Daddy Magic & The TNT Champion, and she notes them helping out The Undisputed Kingdom. Can they explain how and why? But before Garcia can, Roddy shouts at “DANIEEEL~!” The Kingdom thanks Garcia for that, they appreciate the help. And trust Cole when he says that if there’s anyone who understands competition, certainly it’s Garcia. It is a shame, though, that Garcia & Menard don’t have a third man, because Cole, Roddy & Kyle wanna prove they’re the best trio in AEW. Garcia says yeah, well, they’ll be in Jacksonville next week for Collision: Homecoming.
And Garcia remembers walking into Jacksonville three years ago with two people he barely even knew, at the bottom of the totem pole. Three years later, we’re going back to Jacksonville and it’s a completely different story. Menard checks with Garcia. Is he saying they’re call the brand new father? The new father? Then Kingdom is on! Homecoming, Jacksonville, Six Man Tag! Cole and the boys like that, and they head out. Will things still be undisputed? Or will Cool Hand Ange’s return to the ring tip the scales?
Max Caster is in the ring.
Platinum Max has both a mic and a leather bag, and he thanks the fans, missing how they’re booing him. But Caster says there has been a lot of issues going on within The Acclaimed. There are a lot of rumors online, a lot of talk, but he wants to clear the air right now with his teammate, Anthony Bowens. Caster asks Bowens to come to the ring, and he has the fans cheer Bowens on. Bowens does walk out here, and he grabs a mic for himself. Caster says this has gone on long enough. There has been a huge misunderstanding between the two of them. They are a great team, and more importantly, they are great friends.
The biggest issue here is that Bowens just won’t admit that Caster is the Best Wrestler Alive! The fans boo and Bowens stops Caster there. Bowens says it is finally time for Caster to listen! Because for the last five years, Bowens has tried with every fiber of his being to protect Caster in the ring, in the locker room, and in the media. Because they, The Acclaimed, were tag team partners, and then became best friends. But now Bowens has to live with the very uncomfortable truth that Caster has made Bowens into a liar! Because for those five years, Bowens has had to lie to every single fan about who Caster is as a person!
Because Cincinnati, you need to know that Max Caster is an arrogant, cocky, selfish, edge lord PIECE OF S*IT! And Caster wants the fans to believe he’s the Best Wrestler Alive? Newsflash: The fans believe YOU SUCK! The fans cheer, but Caster brings out a (fake) degree from his bag that says “Best Wrestler Alive!” Bowens says this is what he means! Cater is selfish, he lost the team spirit! Why did Caster start looking down on Bowens? Maybe it’s because Bowens is the Scissor King, not that Caster’s been doing that. Well guess what? Bowens is more than that! He possesses every tool necessary to be a world champion! Cincy agrees there!
Bowens has proudly represented AEW since he put pen to paper! He is the GADDAMN PRIDE of AEW! He is the Five Tool Player!! The fans cheer that! And Bowens doesn’t need some piece of paper to prove it. Caster says don’t touch him! Wait, the music hits? They’re both here, so that means it is DADDY ASS! Billy Gunn is back, mic in hand, and he sighs looking at his boys fighting. The fans cheer and Billy says first off, what is wrong with these two? They are The Acclaimed! AEW World Tag Team Champions, AEW World Trios Champions, and they got everyone to scissor just because it was cool!
Caster claims Billy doesn’t care about them! He just attached himself to a couple of young, hungry wrestlers like them just so they could hear the fans chant his name again. Billy made it about Billy, when it should be about MAX! The Best Wrestler Alive! Oh, and Anthony! They are best friends! Seriously! Okay? They are two guys who were randomly put together, didn’t know each other, but they became the winningest tag team in AEW history! Every team Billy has been a part of has broken up, and there’s a reason for that. Yeah, even Gunn Club! Billy’s own two sons did not want anything to do with him!
Billy gets pissed and he gets in Caster’s face. The fans tell Billy, “KICK HIS ASS! KICK HIS ASS!” Caster says he is not doing this. Bowens has to choose: Caster or Billy. If Bowens wants The Acclaimed to continue, it is either Caster or “washed-up” Billy Gunn. The fans cheer for “BILLY! BILLY!” Bowens is conflicted, but Caster stands there with open arms. Bowens offers the scissors, so Caster says okay. But then Bowens makes it a middle finger! The fans cheer as Bowens stands with Billy! So is that how it is? Caster says fine! Another bad decision from “Bad Decision Bowens.” You can’t walk away from Caster, he’s walking away from them!
Acclaimed is done because CASTER said so as leader of the team! It is Bowens’ fault, it is Billy’s fault, and it’s the fault of every fan here! Caster will prove to everyone that he IS the Best Wrestler Alive, and without him, Bowens sucks, Billy sucks, and all the fans suck! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” Bowens tells Caster that he didn’t need Caster then, and he doesn’t need Caster now! Get outta his life! Billy, Cincy, one last time! Throw the scissors up! The fans cheer as Bowens & Billy SCISSOR~! Caster is frustrated, but will he just have to put up or shut up?
Backstage interview with Swerve Strickland & Prince Nana.
Lexy is with The Realest and says the past few weeks, he and Ricochet have had this cat ‘n’ mouse game. But it was announced that February 5th, Dynamite in Atlanta, we will get Swerve VS Ricochet. But until then, what is Swerve’s strategy? Swerve says respectfully, the longer they waste time talking, the more time Ricochet has to get away. And as for “cat ‘n’ mouse,” this is more like lion and rat. It will end now. February 5th, Swerve gets Ricochet in the ring to himself, but Swerve plans on seeing him way before then. Swerve has been cursed with the ability where everything he touches dies…
With that said, Swerve plans on using that for when he gets his hands on Ricochet’s throat! The Most Dangerous Man is only going to be more dangerous from now on, will Ricochet have no chance of escape?
AEW Continental Championship: Kazuchika Okada VS Tomohiro Ishii!
As Okada said himself to open the show, these two used to be the best of friends in NJPW under the banner of Chaos. But being part of The Elite (The, The Elite) has brought out the worst in one of the best wrestlers today. Will he continue to make it rain even here in Cincinnati? Or will the Stone Pitbull soon sink his teeth into some gold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and Maximum Carnage gets some Strong Style thrown in!
The bell rings and the fans fire up as these two stare down. They circle, but then Okada backs off to the ropes. The fans boo but the ref has Ishii back up. Okada and Ishii reset, the fans cheer on “Both These Guys!” Okada again uses ropes for defense, and Ishii dares him to bring it! Okada runs up, they tie up, and Okada puts Ishii on ropes. Okada lets off, fakes the chop, then pats Ishii on the shoulder. But then Ishii CHOPS! Ishii fires forearms, Okada wobbles, but then Okada CLAWS the eyes! Okada runs, but Ishii CLOBBERS him! Ishii brings Okada up, CHOPS him, then eggs Okada on. Ishii whips, Okada grabs ropes, and Okada bails out!
The fans boo but Ishii storms out after Okada! Okada kicks low! Okada grins, but Ishii RAMS him into the railing! Ishii runs, and he CLOBBERS Okada again! The fans fire up while Ishii paces, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Okada sputters, Ishii drags him up, and Ishii CHOPS! Okada sputters, Ishii CHOPS again, and then Ishii CHOPS again! Ishii pushes Okada into the ring, storms in after him, and runs, but into a FLAPJACK! Okada snarls, Ishii sputters, and Okada brings Ishii up. Okada bumps Ishii off buckles, wrenches and whips, then he runs in to ELBOW Ishii down! Okada soaks up the cheers and jeers while the ref checks Ishii. Ishii is still in this so Okada storms up. The ref has Okada back off and the medic checks Ishii. A leg may have been tweaked after that last fall, but Okada storms up again. Ishii CHOPS him!
Ishii CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Okada kicks low! DDT! Ishii is stuck on his head, but Okada pushes him over to cover. TWO, but Okada kicks Ishii around. Ishii snarls as Okada scuffs him, and then Okada BOOTS! Ishii wobbles but stays on his feet! Okada BOOTS him again, but Ishii eggs Okada on! Okada runs, but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! Both men are down as Maximum Carnage returns to single picture. Okada goes to a corner, Ishii runs up, and Ishii LARIATS! Ishii hoists Okada up top, then he climbs up after Okada. Ishii brings Okada to the very top, for a SUPERPLEX! Both men are down again and the fans fire up! Cover, TWO!

Something is going down backstage!
Cameras catch the Learning Tree beating up Hobbs! Jericho sees the camera and says, “Hi, guys.” Big Bill shows he has Hobbs’ leg brace! The Learning Tree leaves the Powerhouse down, but is he out of the main event? Time is running out, because the main event is next!
12 Man Tag: The Death Riders & The Learning Tree VS “Powerhouse” Hobbs, The Outrunners & Rated FTR!
The AEW World Champion, the AEW World Trios Champions, the ROH World Champion, and “The Branches” all stand against what was going to be The Book of Hobbs with Turbo Floyd, Truth Magnum, Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood & Adam “Cope” Copeland. But after what Jericho, Bill & Keith just did to Hobbs, is this going to be a 6v5? Can Cope and comrades still win even with the odds against them?

Winners: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, The Outrunners & Rated FTR, by pinfall
The Learning Tree tried to earn the Death Riders’ trust, but they only angered The Powerhouse! Will The Book of Hobbs still find his way back to a championship story in the New Year? And what of Rated FTR? Are they still brawling with The Death Riders somewhere in Cincinnati? Will they be brawling all the way to Knoxville this Wednesday?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, but with some obvious new examples of Tony Khan forgetting his own stories. The Undisputed Kingdom VS Shane Taylor Promotions was a great Six Man Tag, and a great win for Cole, Roddy & Kyle now that they’re all back together, but I guess The Conglomeration meant nothing to anyone in the end. Secondly, Daniel Garcia making the save is fine and all, but why’re we pivoting away from how Garcia is friends with Private Party and should be helping them with The Hurt Syndicate? Not to mention, Shelton and Garcia still have beef from the C2 to settle, aka a TNT Championship match. Hurt Syndicate had a good promo, and it’s really hard to think Private Party retains the tag titles.
Back to Garcia, IÂ do appreciate we’re getting back to him teaming with Menard & Parker, and we’ll have a fun Six Man Tag for Homecoming, but I feel like Undisputed Kingdom wins again. We’ll probably get the Kingdom member who scores the fall challenging for the TNT Championship, so maybe like Kyle VS Garcia, but even that should be a one-off. If The Kingdom wants to be the “best trio” in AEW, that means they want the trios titles, and that means running afoul of The Death Riders, who already have Rated FTR after them. I suppose the easiest solution is just for Claudio, Yuta & Pac to defend against both teams in some kind of wild Trios match, but it’s hard to say if TK can sort out a mess like that.
There’s also the ROH World Six Man titles, but it doesn’t seem like The Von Erichs ever leave Texas. And All In: Texas is the big attraction for the Summer, so I can’t imagine “The Sons of Texas” losing in Texas… Well, that’s a problem to be solved later, we still got a good match from Dustin Rhodes tonight, but then that was about it. I was expecting someone from the ROH side to call him out for the tag titles, but nope. Gates of Agony had a very good promo to put a challenge of their own out there, and I suppose since they want the best possible, TK wasn’t going to short change them. Brody & Buddy having a match for Homecoming could help them introduce their new team name that is no longer House of Black related, given Malakai Black seems on his way out for real this time.
Speaking of, Julia had a very good match with Harley and got a very good win out of it. Julia still seems to be working the rust off but she can definitely find her way back to a title. If it’s Mercedes Mone still as TBS Champion, Julia isn’t winning. And even then, whoever beats Mone isn’t losing to Julia… Toni Storm had a good promo with Schiavone, especially the subtle way she stopped Schiavone from bringing up her past with Mariah. Whether this is a delusion or a deception, that will surely come to a head next week when Toni and Mariah meet face to face. I am really going to enjoy the moment Toni finally says, “How DARE you!” again.
Very good tag match of Murder Machines VS Top Flight, but of course Archer & Cage were going to win. They need their own momentum, for starters, and also they’re just massive. Depending on how the tag title match goes, I could see the Murder Machines going after Private Party, or even stepping to the Hurt Syndicate to make that the next phase of the Don Callis Family story. Ospreay had a good promo to bring up that feud, and I would think Ospreay’s chat with Omega next week is to make an alliance so that they can take on The Don Callis Family. Then as I said on Wednesday, we can get Ospreay & Omega VS Murder Machines first, then Ospreay & Omega VS Kyle & Konosuke after that.
Hangman VS Daniels was an awesome Texas Death Match, just a little bit short of the matches Hangman has had with Swerve. But even so, Daniels looked awesome, even with how he was bleeding and beat up. Hangman wins, of course, and he could go after just about anyone after this. And if this is Daniels’ sendoff as an in-ring competitor, what a way to go out, #ThankYouCD. Speaking of Swerve, he’s of course going to be hunting Ricochet, and the three weeks until Dynamite Atlanta will be some interesting ones. But I feel like they could’ve instead kayfabed that each week is meant to have Ricochet VS Swerve, Ricochet keeps ducking Swerve, and then TK takes an onscreen role to say enough is enough, Ricochet HAS to face Swerve in Atlanta, last warning.
Okada VS Ishii was a great match, and Okada sure hit all his usuals. Okada cheating to get the win is fitting of this Heel persona, but it’s hard to say where he’s going after this. Part of me wonders if Hobbs can step to him given how strong he’s getting to look lately. Good promo from Hobbs & Rated FTRunners, and I do commend Learning Tree for attacking after as a way of trying to win over The Death Riders. It didn’t work out, obviously, as Hobbs gets to look even stronger. Rated FTR and Death Riders brawling out of the building to take themselves out of the equation was smart, too, keeps them from being part of the math once Hobbs “heroically” goes out there and wins it for the Faces. Hobbs VS Okada would be an awesome match, and the promos oughta be fun, too.
