PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone kicks off the Buy-In!
And he gives an introduction to the hometown hero, Dante Martin! Fans are fired up to see Angelo Dorado again after the big week he’s had from Dynamite to last night on Rampage. Schiavone notes that Lio Rush is not present because of the tragic death of Lio’s grandmother, but he also brings up Team Taz offering Dante a contract. Team Taz is up in the luxury box watching as Dante gets a mic. But before he can speak on the offer, The Acclaimed walks out! And of course Max Caster has a rap! “Hey yo, Dante, join The Acclaimed. All these other teams, man, they should be ashamed. Lio Rush can’t hang in this environment. He’s about to go into his 15th retirement.
“And Team Taz ain’t got no plus. Only guys on TV less than us! So hang with us if you want to be down. You’re the only good thing from this depressing ass town.” Anthony Bowens gets the mic to tell Minneapolis that The Acclaimed have arrived! But then they cut the music, and he says Dante has a lot on his mind. Fans tell them to STFU but Bowens will not! He’s got a lot to say so you shut up! Who to align with? Matt Sydal? Lio Rush? Team Taz? The Acclaimed want Dante to join them! They’d be the hottest team in ALL of professional wrestling. But to make themselves clear, you’re either with them or against them. So what’s it gonna be, buddy?
Dante hears “NO! NO! NO!” from Minneapolis, but Bowens reiterates. They don’t have the patients like the clowns do. Give them an answer or they break Dante’s legs and send him home crying like his brother. Yes or no? Dante asks, “What do you think Minneapolis?” “NO!” Dante DECKS Bowens! And then he DECKS Caster! The Acclaimed regroup, Dante runs, jumps to the rope and springboards to wipe The Acclaimed out! That checks off one choice, but what about the others? Who will Angel Dorado bring along on the Top Flight?
The Buy-In – Jamie Hayter & Nyla Rose w/ Vickie Guerrero VS Thunder Rosa & Hikaru Shida!
TBS Championship Tournament entries join forces to take on their future opponents! Hayter’s gonna hate facing La Mera Mera but the Native Beast is hungry to sink her teeth into the Full Metal Warrior once again. Which side gets big momentum towards the tournament quarterfinals?
Tensions already run high as all four women get in the ring. The ref gets the teams to sort out, and Rosa starts with Nyla. Rosa throws her hair piece at Hayter, Hayter stomps it on the apron. Nyla and Rosa feel things out, Nyla kicks low then headlocks. Rosa pulls hair, powers out, but Nyla runs her over. Fans chant for “Eddie! Eddie!” with Vickie here, but things speed up in the ring. Rosa jumps but into a fireman’s carry! Nyla slips under to tilt-o-whirl and sunset flip! TWO, Rosa wheelbarrows and gets around to sunset flip again, TWO! Basement dropkick!

Fans boo but Nyla laughs it up as she gets away with it.
Hayter kicks Rosa at the ropes, brings her around and bumps her off buckles. Hayter chokes Rosa, Rosa kicks her away but Hayter throws haymakers and CHOPS! Vickie likes that and Hayter CHOPS again.

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy & Best Friends.
Last night on Rampage, the Lumberjack match, Blade knocked out Cassidy with the knuckles and Hardy got the win. But the feud is far from over as Tony Khan has made for Dynamite, The Butcher & The Blade VS Orange Cassidy and a partner of his choosing. Yes. Cassidy could choose a friend but they’ve all been working hard so he’ll give them a night off. But uh, the Best Friends just joined this little group called Chaos. Cassidy asked Chuckie T who is in that group, and they thought, maybe they’ll bring one of their dogs. Is the match-up between Big Money Matt’s mercenaries and Freshly Squeezed set in stone?
Darby Allin VS MJF!
The Relentless One and the Salt of the Earth have been named two of the Four Young Pillars of AEW, by MJF himself. But in a sense, he’s not wrong. However, “the man who can beat Darby Allin with a headlock takeover” might be wrong about being able to break Darby in body, mind and spirit. Will that break Maxwell Jacob Friedman in return? Or is MJF better than Darby, and he knows it?
Darby has a new video for us. He drives in a white sedan with insults graffiti’d all over it. He picks up fake MJF, they drive around, get in a car accident, but Darby survives it. Darby then uses a Molotov cocktail to set the car on fire! As for Darby’s entrance, he once again has Sting by his side, simply to see him out. The bell rings, they tie up, MJF pie faces then rope-a-dopes. They tie up, and MJF hits a headlock takeover! Cover, ONE, but MJF gets another headlock takeover! Cover, ONE, and MJF gets a third headlock takeover! Cover, ONE, and Darby pie faces MJF now! Darby knows MJF is trying to back up his word but won’t let it be that easy.
They tie up, MJF waistlocks, Darby switches, MJF switches but Darby drop toeholds to get a headlock! MJF slips out and wrenches but Darby rolls to wrench back. MJF rolls, wrenches back, headlocks, but Darby powers out. MJF runs Darby over, fans boo but things speed up. Darby hurdles, runs, but MJF hurdles. Darby shoves MJF, MJF whips Darby but Darby blocks the hip toss to monkey flip, only for MJF to cartwheel through. MJF gloats but Darby whips. MJF reverses but Darby goes up to FLYING ARM-DRAG! MJF drop steps, double knuckle locks and backs Darby down to monkey flip Darby! They’re both down for a double cover, TWO as they bring up one arm.
Another double cover as they rest, TWO as they bring the other arms up. Another double cover, TWO as they both bridge! MJF trips Darby up, rolls back to get the cover, TWO as Darby gets an arm up. MJF pushes that arm down, TWO as the other arm comes up! MJF pushes that arm down, Darby bridges! Then catches MJF for a push up and RANA! Cover, TWO as MJF sunset flips! TWO, and Darby goes for the double knuckle lock cover! TWO, MJF goes to monkey flip again but Darby lands on his feet! And ducks under the blindside! MJF goes up and over, runs the ropes but Darby QUEBRADAS over! Darby arm-drags MJF, MJF arm-drags back, both men handspring up!
Fans are loving this exchange as the two reset! MJF snarls, perhaps learning that Darby is just as technical as him. Darby and MJF circle, tie up, MJF powers Darby back but Darby turns it around in a corner. The ref counts, MJF gets a sucker punch! MJF “apologizes” for that but he drags Darby up to throw him out. MJF goes out after him and CLOBBERS him on the ropes! MJF Fargo struts around, then he goes back to Darby to put him in the ring. “You love it, fat boy! You love it!” But Darby comes back to DIVE! Direct hit and down goes MJF! Darby drags MJF up to RAM him into steel steps! Darby puts MJF back in as fans are fired up and dueling.
Darby CLUBS away on MJF on the apron, then stands on MJF’s neck! The ref counts, Darby steps off, then climbs up the corner. APRON COFFIN DROPÂ only gets apron as MJF moves! Minneapolis loses their minds as Darby crashes ‘n’ burns! MJF gets Darby back in the ring, drops an elbow to Darby’s back, then has a smirk as he covers. TWO, but MJF sits Darby up. MJF jams his knee into Darby’s back and pulls on the arms for a motorcycle stretch. Fans rally, Darby endures, fights up, turns things around, but MJF turns it right back! Darby drops to kangaroo kick! Darby runs, MJF tilt-o-whirls into a TORTURE RACK BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!
Darby writhes but he crawls to a corner. MJF smirks as he storms over and drags Darby up. MJF whips Darby corner to corner hard! Fans boo but MJF just soaks it up. MJF drags Darby back up, whips him corner to corner again and just as hard. MJF soaks up the heat, then he drags Darby up and wrenches before he goes corner to corner again, Darby reverses and now MJF hits hard! Darby staggers up, runs in and back body blocks, but into a waistlock! Darby fights out, but MJF scoops for a BACKBREAKER, then to a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! MJF drags Darby up, back suplexes to a BACKBREAKER! MJF checks his knee but insists he’s fine.
MJF goes back to Darby, stomps him, drags him back up, and CLUBS him in the corner. MJF BITES Darby’s forehead! The ref reprimands, MJF stops then puts Darby up top. MJF climbs up and soaks up the heat, but Darby resists the suplex! Darby BITES MJF’s head! MJF turns around, Darby climbs up, but MJF counters the throwback! But Darby fights out of the tombstone to hit the SUPER THROWBACK STUNNER! Both men are down and fans fire up again! A standing count starts, reaches 5 of 10 before either sits up, but MJF and Darby rise at 6. MJF SLAPS, Darby SLAPS, MJF choke grips but Darby HEADBUTTS!
Darby drags MJF to a drop zone and goes up top! But MJF slowly rolls all the way away. Darby runs in but MJF hits a headlock takeover! Cover, TWO! Darby fights up, powers out, things speed up, Darby jumps but gets caught! POWERBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Darby survives and MJF grows frustrated, but “This is Awesome!” to the fans. MJF kicks Darby but Darby sits up. MJF throws a big left and Darby falls back, only to sit back up! MJF DECKS Darby again, Darby rises again! Darby slaps himself and eggs MJF on with middle fingers. MJF grabs the hands to BITE those fingers! Then he flips Darby around, Darby headbutts, fires off forearms and haymakers!
Darby powers up like the People’s Champion, but MJF pokes him in the eye! MJF smirks, runs, but Darby dropkicks a leg out! Darby keeps moving, hops on, but no Code Red, MJF makes it a wicked POWERBOMB!! High stack, TWO!! Darby survives again but MJF gets the legs. MJF steps through to copy Sting, SCORPION DEATHLOCK! Darby endures, crawls around, MJF drags him from ropes, but Darby grabs a foot! Darby turns MJF around to club away on the leg! Darby trips MJF, steps through, but MJF kicks him away! MJF runs in but Darby dodges to CHOP BLOCK the good leg! MJF clutches his knees and fans rally up again!
MJF drags himself up, Darby runs in but into an elbow. MJF hops up the corner and DOUBLE STOMPS an arm! Darby clutches the elbow and wrist, but MJF clamps on. Darby fights off the takedown to whip MJF. MJF goes up and over but his legs buckle! Darby CHOP BLOCKS from the front! Darby rolls with the leg, and gets the FIGURE FOUR! MJF endures, is down, TWO as MJF sits back up! MJF drags himself and Darby around, reaches out, works to turn the hold, and does! Darby suffers now but he gets the ropebreak! The ref counts, the two separate but both end up on the apron. Darby and MJF both rise, and MJF throws a forearm!
Darby hits back, has the edge as he throws more forearms, then looks tot he floor. Darby brings MJF into position but MJF holds ropes to fight it. Darby gets space but MJF scoops him, APRON TOMBSTONE!?!? But it was double-edged for MJF’s knees! Fans are losing their minds, the ring count is climbing and it’s already 5 of 10! MJF clutches his knees as he sits up at 6, hobbles in at 7, but Darby is still down! Darby stirs at 8, rises at 9, and is in at 9.9!! Darby survives, but MJF is too focused on the pain in his knees to worry about that. MJF hobbles over, drags one leg along, and he drags Darby back up. MJF reels Darby in, suplexes, but Darby fights to make it a cradle! TWO!!
MJF gets to ropes, swings, Darby backslides, TWO! MJF cradles, TWO! Darby cradles, TWO! It’s a battle of cradles, TWO! TWO! They go around and around and around and around and fans are giving it a standing ovation! Wait, Darby has it last, TWO!! MJF hits a headlock takeover! Cover, TWO as Darby headscissors! MJF gets free, Darby runs in to give MJF a headlock takeover! Cover, TWO as MJF rolls it to a cover, TWO! Darby has the headlock takeover cover again, TWO! Darby floats to jackknife, TWO as MJF bridges up and turns! Lift, but Darby turns bomb into CODE RED! Cover, TWO?!? No one can believe this but everyone is loving it!
Fans chant for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for giving us this as just the opener! Darby drags MJF back to a drop zone, goes up the corner, but isn’t that kinda far…? MJF bails out anyway, so Darby simply changes targets! SUPER COFFIN DROPÂ to the floor!! Fans lose their minds all over again as Darby puts MJF back in. Darby goes back up, COFFIN DROPÂ onto knees!! A double-edged move for MJF but it saved him in the end! Fans are thunderous as they rally and even duel during the standing count. But wait, here comes The Pinnacle! BUt Sting CLOBBERS Wardlow and Shawn Spears with the bat! The Icon ain’t letting them help MJF, and he even SMACKS Spears with his own chair!
Sting uses the bat on Wardlow while Darby O’Conner Rolls! TWO, MJF has it but with tights! TWO, SUPERKICK! MJF drops and clutches his knee but fans hope these two “Fight Forever!” Not really possible with the half hour time limit and the rest of the show having to happen. MJF hobbles out of the ring, over to the timekeeper’s area, and he gets Darby’s skateboard! The ref reprimands, but MJF still aims at Darby with the board! Wait, he sets it down and scoots it to Darby? He dares Darby to smash him open with the board?! MJF wants Darby to embrace the anger but throw the match! Darby aims, but hands the board to the ref. So MJF brings out the DIAMOND RING!
DYNAMITE DIAMOND PUNCH!! And then a headlock takeover!! Cover, MJF WINS!!
Winner: MJF, by pinfall
No wonder MJF kept fidgeting with his tights throughout this match! His ace in the hole was down there! MJF cheats to back up his words, but will there be no low this man won’t sink to? Will Darby let this underhanded tactic go unpunished?
AEW World Tag Team Championships: The Lucha Brothers VS FTR w/ Tully Blanchard!
Speaking of cheated, Rey Fenix & Penta El Zero Miedo were blatantly cheated out of their AAA Tag Team Championships by “Los Super Ranas,” aka Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood in costumes.

That karma has come back to bite him a few times, but the Inner Circle could eat him alive here! Will Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, Santana & Ortiz run roughshod over Lambert, his “MMA meat heads,” as well as Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page? Or is Lambert lucky that he doesn’t have to do this alone?
Minneapolis sings Judas for the Inner Circle as they make their entrance. Lambert and his team have one last huddle-up, and though this is a Street Fight, it is still a tag match and we start with Sammy and Scorpio. They circle, Scorpio soaking up the heat. Fans rally behind Sammy, and also cuss out Lambert. Sammy dodges Scorpio to CHOP, and CHOP, and CHOP!

INCREDIBLE! The Bucks let Hangman win this one! Does this mean their friendship could be mended? Speaking of friends, The Dark Order come out to celebrate with the new champion! What does this new era mean for Hangman and AEW?
My Thoughts:
What an AWESOME night for AEW! Almost every single match was as good as it could be. I say “almost” because it seemed like the Women’s Championship match took a moment to get on the right pace or something. But in the end, Britt did win, but Conti did give her a run for her money. The other thing was the Street Fight starting like it was a normal tag. Any tag match that is No Disqualifications should just be a Tornado Tag from the start. But that was some awesome stuff, even from Junior Dos Santos and Andrei Arlovski. Lambert was playing his part as the goober perfectly, and how great for Jericho to honor Eddie Guerrero with how he won that match.
On a related note, how awesome to see Jay Lethal make his way to AEW. A part of me always felt he was too big for ROH given ROH has itself not been able to become any bigger than it is right now. Lethal VS Sammy is going to be a great TNT Championship match, and no offense to Sammy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Lethal took that belt off him already. But honestly, I’m not sure what else I can say about the rest of the card other than it was great. There wasn’t as much “Cody teasing his turn” in his tag match, and I’m surprised his team won. Of course, it was Pac getting the pin, but… And then I still feel like this partnership with The Pinnacle could see Andrade usurp that faction from MJF.
MJF VS Darby was an awesome opener for how it was so technical, and then we got the “overbooking” of Sting brawling with Spears and Wardlow. And of course MJF finds a way to not only win but win the way he promised. Punk VS Kingston was also a show stealer of a match, with Punk playing more with blurring Heel and Face than Cody did tonight. Punk winning still makes sense, he’s on this slow burn to the top. And how awesome for Hangman to become champion. I said that he was meant to at All Out and this was making it up to him, and boy did they make it up to him. I even love that, as I’d hoped, the Bucks would show up but not interfere. They might have even given their blessing! This is going to be an awesome third year for AEW!
My Score: 9.6/10

Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!
Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it.

As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.

Will The CEO only add to her treasury when she and- Wait, speaking of Toni Storm, she’s on the tron! “She’s the kind of woman who always has money on her mind and someone else on her lips. She’s the kind of woman mother takes home to you. With thighs as big as the world and long as a wet dream. One thing she did know how to hold the gold, and not the Acapulco kind, either. She had a date with a Chief Executive Officer who wanted a kiss, but one belt too many.
“Deepthroat some tabasco, baby, it’s time to turn up the heat. There was one chance in a million she would bump into her past, but like everything out of the past, it was all behind her now.” The fans cheer as the noir narration ends, because surprise!

Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Christopher Daniels talks with Hangman Page backstage.
The Fallen Angel tells the Cowboy that at All In, when it’s Hangman VS Moxley, Daniels knows Hangman can get it done. But there’s still a lot of time between now and then, and it isn’t just Moxley they have to worry about. There are all the Death Riders, and Hangman can’t fight them all on his own. And no matter what The Young Bucks say, Hangman should know they’re in this for themselves. Daniels wishes he could be there for Hangman, but he can’t. But Hangman still has friends in this locker room that, despite their history, will be there for him. As for those that have… harsh feelings for Hangman, perhaps Hangman should try and rectify that.
Daniels leaves Hangman with that to think on, but can the Cowboy mend those bridges. Wait, Jon Moxley is lurking in the shadows! And he sends his Death Riders to follow Hangman! Will the Maniac make sure All In’s world title match doesn’t even happen? Is that a sign that Mox fears Hangman?
Will Ospreay VS Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana!
Speaking of those allies, The Aerial Assassin is more than ready to back the Hangman’s gambit. However, the Realest has sworn off ever helping The Cowboy with anything, and vice-versa. Can Ospreay convince Swerve that they’re better off together? Or will Ospreay be kicked out of Swerve’s House?
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Ospreay and Swerve stare down while the fans chant, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The fans lose their minds just from Swerve stepping up and offering a handshake. Ospreay is wary, but he accepts. The fans cheer the sportsmanship, and then the two square up. They keep the wristlock, feel out the grapple, and Ospreay headlocks. Swerve powers up and out but Ospreay RAMS him! Both men bob ‘n’ weave the other’s shots, then Swerve headlocks. Ospreay powers up and out, drops down, then hurdles. Swerve waistlocks, ducks an elbow, and he shoves Ospreay.
Ospreay rolls off Swerve’s back, rolls under, then rolls back to arm-drag! Swerve drags Ospreay down, both men kip up, and Ospreay RANAS! Swerve handsprings through to RANA in return, but Ospreay handsprings through! The fans are thunderous as the two have another stare down! They cheer “A E DUB!” for making this match happen. The two circle again, feel things out, and tie up collar ‘n’ elbow. They are in a deadlock, go around, and Ospreay puts Swerve on the ropes. The fans cheer, the ref counts, and Ospreay lets off.

Swerve writhes, Ospreay high-fives some fans, then Ospreay goes back to the apron. Ospreay steps inside, whips Swerve to a corner, then runs up to ELBOW him!
Ospreay snapmares Swerve down and the Summer Blockbuster returns to single picture. Ospreay goes up a corner, waits on Swerve, and hits a BLINDSIDE FLYING FOREARM!

Swerve CHOPS back, but falls back. His shoulders are down so it’s a cover, TWO!
Swerve fights around, Ospreay stops the turnover, and he even grabs Swerve’s hand to keep Swerve from reaching the ropes. Ospreay fires a haymaker, Swerve fires back, repeat! Ospreay puts on the pressure, Swerve falls back into the cover, TWO! Swerve continues to endure, and he works to rock the boat, only for Ospreay to put on more pressure! Swerve still works to turn things over, Ospreay fights against it, but then Swerve uses that to roll! Ospreay endures, but he quickly rolls it back! Swerve uses that to have the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Ospreay undoes the hold, and both men are down, catching their breath.
Ospreay rolls away and rises up as the Summer Blockbuster returns to single picture. The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” as Ospreay watches Swerve stand. SUPERKICK! Swerve wobbles but stays on his feet. Ospreay winds up, and SUPERKICKS again! Swerve snarls as that one woke him up! But Ospreay just SUPERKICKS again! Swerve roars, but Ospreay SUPERKICKS again! Swerve drops to a knee, Ospreay takes aim, HIDDEN- NO, Swerve dodges and Ospreay collides with buckles! Swerve hurries after the bad arm! Swerve uses a straight arm lever to put Ospreay up top, and then Swerve climbs up to join him.
The fans rally as Swerve twists the arm, then lifts Ospreay again, SUPER ARM LEVER!! The fans fire up as Swerve rises and Ospreay writhes. Ospreay points to the bad arm, but Swerve goes right after it! SHORT ARM SCISSOR! Ospreay kicks and flails, fights around, rolls, but Swerve rolls with him! Ospreay keeps fighting, but ends up in a TRIANGLE HOLD! Swerve throws elbows and forearms, but Ospreay still fights to his feet! Another deadlift, and he hooks Swerve’s arms!! Swerve slips free, Alabama Lift, DEADEYE?!?! Swerve uses Hangman’s move?!? Cover, TWO!!! The fans are thunderous as Swerve goes to a corner!
Swerve goes up, up, and takes aim! KILL- NO, Ospreay avoids the stomps! HIDDEN BLADE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Swerve survives and the fans are loving this! The fans rally, Nana shouts at Swerve, and Swerve rises up. Ospreay slowly follows, and the two stare down. “This is Awesome!” as Swerve grins. Ospreay fires a forearm! Swerve fires back! Ospreay and Swerve laugh!? They go forearm for forearm, faster and harder! They stand, and Swerve pats Ospreay on the shoulder. Then he ROCKS Ospreay! But Ospreay feeds off that! The fans fire up as the forearms just keep going! Ospreay wobbles, but he winds up to KICK!
Ospreay KICKS, KICKS, but Swerve counter kicks, WRINGS the bad arm, then HOUSE CALL outta nowhere!! Swerve goes to the corner while Ospreay sits up in a daze! KILL STOMPS!!! Cover, TWO!?!?!? WHAT?!? But Swerve just clamps onto the arm, and STOMPS it! Ospreay writhes, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” HOUSE- HIDDEN BLADE!!! Ospreay isn’t done, he underhooks for the STORM BREAKER!! Cover, TWO?!?!?!? Swerve barely gets that arm up, and Portland is erupting all over again! The fans rally up even harder as Ospreay underhooks Swerve again! Swerve resists the lift, but Ospreay muscles him up!
Ospreay roars and the fans duel, but wait… Is Ospreay thinking of using that move?! Portland is just as torn as Ospreay, but then Swerve powers out! Swerve wrenches, and INVERTED Alabama Lifts, for the VERTEBREAKER!!! Ospreay sputters as he sits up in a daze! Swerve calls his shot, for the HOUSE CALL!!! But Ospreay flops to the apron!! The fans rally as we hit the last sixty seconds of the time limit! Swerve and Ospreay are both at the corner as the fans rally even harder! THIRTY SECONDS! Swerve climbs, Ospreay sits up, but Swerve’s legs are weak! TIME’S UP!!!
Time Limit Draw
The fans boo as the thirty minutes are up, sparing Ospreay from the Kill Stomps on the apron! Swerve is frustrated, Nana grabs a mic, and Swerve says, “Oh my God, I’m in so much pain right now… But what we just showed right here, Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay, we are the best because AEW is where the best wrestle.” The fans cheer that! Swerve says the only way to prove you’re the best is to finish matches, dammit! Swerve tells Ospreay that they’re both messed up pretty bad, but Swerve knows Ospreay wants to beat Swerve. Swerve says they keep going with sudden death! The fans love that idea, too!
But wait! The Death Riders appear, ready to ruin the fun! Swerve looks around, and here come Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and Jon Moxley. Did they already deal with Hangman Page before coming out here? Are they about to remove all of their enemies in one night? Claudio looms over Ospreay on the outside while Moxley paces. Swerve stands his ground, despite being greatly outnumbered, but then The Young Bucks attack! The fans boo as Matthew & Nicholas knock Swerve down, stomp him around, then sit him up for the E V P TRIGGER!! And they also have handcuffs!?!
Nana drags Swerve to the apron, but Nick SUPERKICKS Nana! The fans boo as now, the Bucks cuff Swerve! A pair for each hand, and they cuff Swerve to the ropes! The Bucks laugh as Swerve is now a prisoner! SUPERKICK! SUPERKICK! And SUPERKICK!! It’s a one-sided Superkick Party, and The Bucks have Yuta pass them his black duffel bag. And from inside the bag, they bring out tack-covered Reeboks! Just like Swerve used on The Bucks at Anarchy in the Arena! Matt says you mess with The Bucks, you end up a dead man! But then OSPREAY gets in to take the DOUBLE SPIKED SUPERKICKS!!!
The fans lose their minds, and even The Bucks are stunned by this! Doc Sampson hurries right into the ring to check on Ospreay, and Swerve is enraged! Portland chants “F THE BUCKS!” while they sheepishly retreat. The Death Riders have also left, the damage done without them lifting a finger. The fans cheer Ospreay on for saving his friendly rival, but is he now out of the fight against the tyranny in AEW?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Renee Paquette is with the AEW Continental Champion and brings up tonight’s contract signing. Set for All In, it will be Kazuchika Okada VS Kenny Omega, Winner Takes All! These two have had some of the most legendary matches in all of professional wrestling, but this will be the first on American soil. Is this version of Okada ready for this version of Omega? Okada says yes, but then Don Callis interrupts. The Jackal apologizes, but to answer this question, he would like to pose his own question: Why is Okada in this match and not Kyle Fletcher? Has Okada had a better 2025 than Kyle Fletcher?
Why is Okada in this match and not Konosuke Takeshita? Has Okada really had a better 2025 than Takeshita? Or maybe Callis should be addressing this line of questioning right at Okada? Why isn’t it Kyle or Konosuke over Okada? This makes Callis sick! Okada takes Callis’ accusatory finger and bends it! But in steps Lance Archer! Then on the other side, it’s Kyle & Konosuke. Callis begs for mercy, Okada lets go, and he calls Callis, “B*tch.” The Rainmaker leaves, is it wise for Callis to get on his bad side? Or will someone in the Callis Family look to take that title off Okada before All In?
Mistico VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!
The Crown Jewel of CMLL makes his return to AEW, and more than ready for next week’s Grand Slam in Mexico! But will Mistico be shining in the spotlight of this Summer Blockbuster? Or will the Vanilla Babyface sour the mood?
The bell rings and the fans rally as Mistico and Blake circle. They feel things out, then Mistico offers a handshake. Blake says sure, and then he just flips Mistico off! Blake BOOTS Mistico down, whips, but then drops down to hurdle over. Mistico leaps over the monkey flip, but Blake dodges the lariat! Blake RANAS, Mistico flounders, but then Mistico is up to block the chop! Mistico knuckle locks, CHOPS, then goes up the corner. Mistico balances up top, but Blake ARM-DRAGS him down! Blake rains down fists, soaks up the heat, then DECKS Mistico! Blake CHOKES Mistico on the ropes, steps off at the ref’s count, and soaks up more heat.
Mistico sits up to feed off the rally, but Blake DECKS him! Mistico goes to a corner, the fans rally more, but Blake brings Mistico up to whip. Mistico handsprings to BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up, Mistico ducks ‘n’ dodges to then RANA! Blake tumbles, staggers to his feet, but again Mistico blocks and CHOPS! Mistico goes up, up, and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Blake tumbles out of the ring and the fans fire up! Mistico builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp with that true tope suicida! The fans fire up for Mistico while both men are down. Mistico rises, feeds off that energy again, and he puts Blake back in the ring.
Mistico pounds the apron to rally the fans again, then he aims. Blake runs up but Mistico dodges to GAMANGIRI! Mistico springboards to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Mistico keeps the fans going as he stands again. Mistico puts Blake in the drop zone, climbs up the corner, but Big Shotty grabs at him! The fans boo as the ref misses that, and then Blake BOOTS Mistico to the floor! Blake builds speed to FOSBURY TOPE! The fans boo but Blake puts Mistico in the ring! Blake goes up again, springboard and 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Mistico shows why he’s a top tier champion in CMLL, but Blake vows to end this!
Blake goes up the corner again, only for Mistico to GAMANGIRI! Mistico climbs up after Blake, has him on the very top, and hits a SUPER SPANSH FLY! Cover, Mistico wins!
Winner: Mistico, by pinfall
CMLL’s finest certainly makes an impact on the Summer Blockbuster, but wait! The Hurt Syndicate makes their entrance! Montel Vontavious Porter leads the way for Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin & Maxwell Jacob Friedman while Portland sings, “We Hurt~ People!” The All Mighty has the Scumbag stand down a moment, and MVP has a mic. “Attention AEW viewing audience, this is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. I won’t be addressing you in this specific situation, because MJF has a message for the cabron in the ring!” The fans boo, but MJF says he is talking now, so thanks, Portland.
MVP demands respect for the Young Genius! MJF tells Mistico that his match was impressive. And it isn’t easy to impress MJF since he’s the most complete pro-wrestler in this sport today. So tell you want, “Misty…” The fans keep booing as MJF says he will give Mistico a match next week in Arena Mexico. MJF looks forward to it, too, because he looks forward to ripping “that dime store mask off your stupid face.” The fans boo more, but MJF says Mistico isn’t just getting any man. He is getting a patriot! For one night only, MJF is dusting off his red white ‘n’ blue just for you, Mistico! MJF says God Bless America! God Bless your American Champion!
But most importantly, God Bless your American Hero, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, M J F! The fans are torn given how MJF is using patriotism to put himself over. The flag and the streamers fly, and then MJF has the music stop while he steps into the ring. The streamers make that a bit tricky but MJF steps to Mistico. Mistico stops MJF there, and snatches the mic! The fans cheer, and he tells “MJF, HAHAHAHA! Sabes que, see you next week in Mexico City, en mi casa, Arena Mexico!” MVP has to translate the next part for MJF, and it isn’t very nice. MJF tells Mistico he might think he’s a big deal, but MJF grew up watching him on TV!
To MJF, this isn’t mystical Mistico! This is just sloppy Sin Cara! And now, much like the Star-Spangled Banner, he’s about to get dropped! But Mistico blocks the sucker punch to UPPERCUT MJF! Lashley & Shelton attack and they stomp Mistico down! The fans boo while Lashley and Shelton sit Mistico up! MJF wants the mask as a trophy! But wait! Here comes #JetSpeed! Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight rush in from the crowd side, Mascara Dorada by their side! TRIPLE PLANCHAS onto the Hurt Syndicate! The fans fire up and refs clean up this mess of streamers! The Hurt Syndicate apparently took out Komander earlier today, will Dorada & #JetSpeed make them pay?
Six Man Tag: The Hurt Syndicate VS JetSpeed & Mascara Dorada!
The trios sort out and MJF shouts about one in, one out! MJF starts against Dorada, and… Is MJF wearing ring gear a la MVP’s style? The bell rings, but then everyone rushes in and brawls!

MJF puts Dorada in the corner, then claims Dorada got him in his eyes! This distracts the ref so Lashley can TOSS Dorada to the floor! The fans go nuts seeing that crash landing, and Lashley shrugs while the Summer Blockbuster goes picture in picture.
Bailey protests but the ref keeps him back. MJF tags Lashley, Lashley RAMS Dorada into the barriers, then whips him into the steel steps! Dorada flounders, Lashley storms over, and Lashley has Bailey and Knight back up. Lashley puts Dorada in the ring, stomps him, then RAMS Dorada into an open corner. Lashley RAMS Dorada again and again, then fires hands! Lashley reels Dorada in, suplexes, and stalls for a count of TEN before the SLAM! Cover, TWO! Dorada stays in this but Lashley is just amused. Tag to MJF and he runs, runs, and runs… to then just poke Dorada in the eyes! MJF flips off Portland while stepping on Dorada.
MJF drags Dorada up, tags Shelton, and they mug Dorada. Shelton stands Dorada up, Dorada fires hands and forearms, but Shelton fires in return! Shelton whips, then he FLAPJACKS Dorada!

Lashley puts Dorada in the corner, runs corner to corner, and he RAMS Dorada!
Dorada flops to the mat, Summer Blockbuster returns to single picture, and MJF tags in. MJF runs and shouts out MVP, “BALLIN~!” ELBOW DROP MISSES! MVP plays off that airball like it’s no big deal, but MJF drags Dorada back. MJF swings, Dorada dodges, but MJF grabs Dorada’s hand! Dorada reaches for his team, ROCKS MJF, and repeat! And repeat! MJF then puts up his guard, but that lets Dorada hot tag Knight! Knight rallies on MJF with LARIAT after LARIAT! Knight whips, MJF reverses, but Knight goes up and over! Knight hurdles MJF then DROPKICKS him down! The fans fire up and MVP admits, that was good.
Knight runs, UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! MJF stays in this, Knight coordinates with Bailey, and Knight brings MJF up, MJF swings, Knight ducks and waistlocks. Knight pushes MJF to the ropes for Bailey to ROCK! Knight then winds up, but MJF dodges! Hot tag to Lashley, but then both AEW World Tag Team Champions step in! Bailey tags in so he can step up with Knight! They LARIAT, but the champs stay put! JetSpeed then dodges the Hurt Syndicate to DOUBLE SUPERKICK! Lashley & Shelton shrug those off, then block the next try! LARIAT for Bailey, gut wrench for Knight! CLIFFHANGER!
Shelton has Bailey for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Bailey sputters, Shelton feeds him to Lashley, MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER! The fans fire up and MJF wants in! Lashley is a little surprised but he tags MJF in.

Mistico gets away, having gotten a semblance of revenge for CMLL and himself! Will Mistico humble the Scumbag in front of the people of Mexico? Or will MJF show us that hurting people is a universal language?
Hangman Page heads to the ring!
But now he’s getting jumped by the Death Riders! We saw them stalking him earlier, but only now do they strike! The fans boo as Claudio drags Hangman up to his feet, and we see that he’s been gagged with duct tape, and his hands are tied behind his back! The beating is one-sided, and Claudio even uses a stage speaker to SMASH Hangman in the legs! Then the Death Riders RAM Hangman into the apron! They shove Hangman into the ring, and Moxley takes his time following after his minions. Moxley paces, mic in hand, and he has the mugging stop. “Terribly sorry about all this. It’s just that I wanna make sure that we can have a real conversation. Y’know how distracted you can get.
“Your head’s all over the place. You’re worried about everybody else but yourself. We need you focused. These people need you focused! Because this is your time. All In, the AEW World Championship. For you, this is do or die.” The fans tell Moxley to shut up, but the mugging just continues. Moxley says he’s been watching Hangman, and Hangman is… complicated. Moxley doesn’t understand Hangman he doesn’t like Hangman. The “Millennial Cowboy,” right? For a long time now, Hangman has been searching high and low for something. Moxley doesn’t know what it is, but Hangman has exactly four weeks to find it.
Moxley tells Hangman he has four weeks to step up and become the man everybody here wants you to become. And if he’s not prepared to do that, then he can pack his s*it and get the hell out! Hangman RISING HEADBUTTS Moxley!! Moxley falls, the Death Riders swarm him again, and then Claudio grabs a chair! They put the chair around Hangman’s head! The fans boo but Moxley has Claudio stand down. It seems Moxley still wants All In to happen after all. But then the sound of thunder summons the Opps! Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Hobbs run The Death Riders off!
The fans fire up as the AEW World Trios Champions have Hangman’s back! Moxley leaves it at this, because his message was sent. But then Hangman grabs a mic to shout, “I have come too far and I am too close for that to be the best that you got! Because I would ride through DEATH ITSELF to take that world championship!!” The fans cheer, and Hangman says if he finds even one Death Rider tonight, eh will take their heads! Hangman grabs that chair Claudio was going to use, and now he’s on the hunt! Will Hangman make sure “The One True King of AEW” loses some pawns on the road to All In: Texas?
TayJay VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!
Just as Anna Jay was at the mercy of the Megasus & Superbad Girl, or lack thereof, Tay Melo made her return to AEW! Queenslayer and Brazilian Badass are reunited, but will they continue where they left off? Or will they still be made to #BowDown?

AEW takes a look at the history of Okada VS Omega.
“In the professional wrestling world, once in a great while, there are rivalries that are not merely captivating. Some cross the threshold into something more. Something generational. Something… legendary. For Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada, they found this kind of rivalry. Okada established himself as an ace of NJPW, having held the promotion’s top prize seven times. Of Japan’s long lineage of some of the greatest wrestlers to walk the earth, Kazuchika Okada put himself firmly near the top of that list.
“Enter Kenny Omega. The outsider, who would lead a Bullet Club of other outsiders. They would meet many times across from each other as part of teams, yet a one-on-one meeting of these titans of NJPW was inevitable. After becoming the first gaijin to ever win the renowned G1 Climax, Omega was already on course to a career making showdown. The event? WrestleKingdom 11 at the Tokyo Dome. That match? Game changing.” Okada would win that true instant classic, and promised to make it rain in NJPW so long as he was part of it. “In an epic rematch, the champion, Okada, chose Omega for his challenger.
“Little did he know how far it would push his own limits.” Don Callis was even there to help call the match that determined the future of NJPW, and pro-wrestling as a whole. NJPW Dominion 2017 would end in a ONE HOUR TIME-LIMIT DRAW! And as fate would have it, later that year in the G1 Climax, a final round block match would see these two meet again. The trilogy did not disappoint, and Omega would win. Three classics, 1-1-1 was the record, so the only way to determine who was truly the better man, Okada and Omega agreed to a NO TIME LIMIT, Best 2 Out of 3 Falls, and NJPW Dominion 2018!
After pushing past limits and then some, going to the final fall and well over an hour, it would be Omega’s win to finally become IWGP Heavyweight Champion! “In the wake of their battles, their paths would diverge.” Omega helped found AEW, Okada continued to make it rain in NJPW, “but with any true rival, eventually you find your way back.” Okada decided to be All Elite with The Elite, and now this rivalry will truly solidify itself as legend. “A stadium show for the ages. Kazuchika Okada, Kenny Omega, Rainmaker, Best Bout Machine, one more time!”
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
AEW returns and Schiavone welcomes us back to the Summer Blockbuster. The table is already set, the belts are already on display, and there’s something underneath a familiar shroud. Schiavone is honored to be here for the Winner Takes All contract signing, Okada VS Omega, live on Saturday, July 12th, part of All In: Texas. This is the most anticipated match in AEW, so first of all, welcome out the Continental Champion, Kazuchika Okada! The fans cheer as The Rainmaker makes his way out to the ring. Schiavone now welcomes out the International Champion, Kenny Omega! The fans cheer again as now the Best Bout Machine gets all that pyro!
Omega high-fives some fans before he joins Okada and Schiavone in the ring. Each champion stands by their belt, and Schiavone again says it is an honor to preside over this contract signing. But before that, this is a winner takes all match. So at All In, the winner will be crowned the first-ever AEW Unified Champion! Schiavone reveals the brand new belt and the fans lose their minds just looking at it! Schiavone says it is time to sign the contract. They’ve both read it over, so Okada may sign first. Okada does just that, then passes the contract over to Omega. Omega takes the mic first to say, “Seven years. Seven years almost to the day, we had our last match.”
Omega says watching that video package, he barely recognized himself. But when it comes to this match, they’ll leave it all in the ring one last time, for everything. Omega then signs his part, and it is official! The two men step up and Omega offers a handshake. Okada considers it, and he takes it! The fans cheer the sportsmanship, and then both men pull the other in close. They talk a bit of trash, but wait! The Don Callis Family makes their way out here? The fans boo as The Jackal steps out on stage, mic in hand. Callis smirks and nods, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans also have something to say: “F DON CALLIS!”
Callis tells Portland to be quiet but they just keep going. Callis tells Kenny that he should be ashamed of himself! This match should not be between Omega and Okada! This should be Omega VS Takeshita or Omega VS Kyle! Omega throws off his jacket and tells Callis to cut the crap! He has heard enough! Everyone has! The fans cheer that! Callis says Omega should face Kyle or Takeshita! Omega says yeah, of course, it’s all about Kyle and Takeshita now. But the thing is, Omega’s been there, done that, beaten them, and Callis will not ruin this match! If those guys want their shot at the belt, they have to get in line like everyone else.
But for this match at All In, it is Omega VS Okada! There is not one trick Callis can play to ruin it! Omega knows all of Callis’ tricks, and so do all the fans! Oh, Omega knows all of Callis’ tricks?! Well, kid, you don’t know this one! Okada CLOBBERS Omega with the Continental Championship belt! The fans boo, but it would seem that confrontation was a facade! And now Callis brings out a baton! He hands it to Okada, then he stands Omega up! Okada winds up to SMASH Omega in the stomach! The fans boo as Okada drags Omega up to CLUB him on the back! The fans chant at Okada, “You Sold Out!” Medics rush in and Callis has Okada stand down.
Callis and Okada leave together while a backboard and stretcher are brought out for Omega. Omega doesn’t want to be carried away but his stomach and lower midsection are still a concern after his diverticulitis surgery. But wait, Okada isn’t done! He goes up the corner! Callis is gleeful as Okada hits the MACHO ELBOWÂ while Omega is on the backboard! The fans boo more and the medical team reprimands Okada. Christopher Daniels storms out here and tells them to back off! They’ve done enough, and if they do any more, there will be consequences! Callis threatens Daniels with the baton! Daniels says he may be retired but he can still mess Callis up!
Callis steps outside, and he intimidates the medics and even Michael Nakazawa! And then Okada SHOVES Daniels down! MACHO ELBOW from the apron!! Omega falls off the stretcher and to the floor, and he vomits blood!! The fans lose their minds while Okada just smiles watching the results of his psychotic actions! Okada & Callis finally leave, the medics get Omega out of there, and Alex Marvez catches Callis & Okada as they reach the parking lot. That was absolutely disgusting! What is wrong with them?! Callis says get away from him! They’re gonna get killed in here, they gotta go! Callis & Okada get in Callis’ car and he tells the driver to go!
The car practically peels out of the parking garage and off into the night! Will Callis make Okada the future Unified Continental & International Champion by any means necessary? Or will Omega still be able to go All In?
Adam Cole is here!
Portland cheers up seeing the AEW TNT Champion make his way out here, and they join in on the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” Cole is here to watch this next match, who takes a step closer to the TNT Championship after this Collision?

Carlos Cabrera is in the ring.
The former AAA commentator, now All Elite, thanks Portland for the reception, and says in just seven days, we will see a wonderful collaboration of AEW and CMLL. The fans cheer that, and Cabrera adds that when we talk about this collaboration, nothing comes to mind better than introducing to us a star that has decades in this business and is still going. His debut was FOUR decades ago, and he is the Idol of Children, for the young love him so much, but so do fans of all ages. In Cabrera’s book, this is one of the best ever, with so many accomplishments and championships in his career. A person who has taken many masks of most importance in lucha libre.
And in Cabrera’s opinion, this person is a real, truly living legend! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome out Atlantis! The fans cheer as the OG Atlantis makes his way out, accompanied by his son, Atlantis Jr! The Atlantis familia go to the ring to join Cabrera, and Cabrera says this is a huge, historic collaboration. Who better to talk about that than- FTR? Stokely Hathaway, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood take their interrupting to a new level, and #BigStoke has the mic to ask, “Did I hear the words, ‘living legend?’ Because there’s only two living legends that I know of, and they are standing right next to me!”
Stoke leads the way into the ring as he excuses Cabrera. Stoke says that Atlantis Sr. has that look in his eyes. It is either excitement, or the look of someone so old, they’re about to defecate themselves on national television. The fans boo but FTR laughs. Stoke says he gets it, Atlantis is scared, and he has every single reason to be scared! He will give a synopsis of everything FTR has accomplished the past few weeks. They took out the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express! They took out Nigel McGuinness at Double Or Nothing! And ever since then, they turned Nigel into a “pill popper.” Stoke says yes, Nigel has been popping sleeping pills hoping that he’ll wake up in 2002, the last time he was relevant!
The fans boo more, but Stoke says Daniel Garcia hasn’t been the same since Double Or Nothing! Wanna know why? Because Garcia has contemplated early retirement! And if the rumors are true, that OnlyFans link will drop any day now! And Copeland, where is he? Where’s Cope? When’s he coming back? What’s he up to? Stoke will tell us what Cope is up to: Staring at a wall, his brain sizzling like a fajita plate from Chili’s! What a great list of accomplishments! But there is one more thing that this great team has to accomplishment. They have performed in every single major arena, all except for Arena Mexico.
And FTR doesn’t have a match yet, but what they want, they always get! And it doesn’t matter how they do it! Dax takes the mic to say that obviously, Big Stoke here is a little upset. The fans boo but Dax says relax, give him a minute. Stoke is upset, but Dax is actually rather excited about this partnership. The fans tell FTR to STFU, but Cash shouts, “HE’S TALKING!!” Dax says he likes this partnership of AEW and CMLL! CMLL is the oldest wrestling promotion in the world! Which is funny, because Atlantis Sr. might be the oldest wrestler in the world. But hey, sorry, he’s digressing.
Dax just wants to get to know them. He makes introductions, and he wants to know is if FTR were to wrestle back when Atlantis started in the 1930s, how would they have faired? Dax pulls the usual “Because I think” move, saying FTR would’ve done pretty damn well. Whether it was against Villano, Blue Panther Sr, Santo, FTR would’ve beaten ’em all and made Atlantis their bag boy. Speaking of that, at 62 years old, Atlantis Sr. is still going strong. So Dax’s next question is, at 61 years old, how many Depends does he go through? Father and son have had enough, they start throwing hands! The fans fire up as Senior has Dax while Junior has Cash!
But Cash CLAWS Junior in the eyes, then he attacks Senior! FTR mugs Senior, then Cash goes up! Cole says screw this, and he jumps off commentary to get in there! He fires hands on Dax, then on Cash, and repeat! The fans fire up, but the Don Callis Family rushes out here! Konosuke & Kyle mug Cole, Hechicero joins in, and then FTR stomps away on Atlantis Junior! And on Atlantis Senior! But then Bandido y Templario appear! They DOUBLE SUPERKICK Hechicero! Then they dodge #ProtoShita to BOOSTED SHOTGUN DROPKCIK! TEMPLAROONI! But FTR attack the luchadores! The fans boo as it is chaos, but here comes Brody King!
The fans fire up as the King of Death fires hands on the Don Callis Family and FTR! Bandido TOSSES Cash, Atlantis Senior gets payback on Dax! Bandido helps Templario go up top, then Bandido DIVES! Templario SUPER CROSSBODIES! Dax finds he’s all alone with everybody else! Senior says uno momento, he wants his shot! Dax says bet, and he runs up on Senior! Senior dodges to then SPINEBUSTER! And he rains down fists! Dax scrambles out of there, but Senior still goes after him! Dax runs but can’t get away, Atlantis Senior’s still got that fire! Dax hops the railing, but Senior still wants him! This brawl heads backstage!
Atlantis Junior goes to help his father, and Cole tells the Don Callis Family to just wait and see how things go later tonight! Will the Paragon make sure the family pays for what Callis & Okada did earlier tonight?
Backstage interview with Big Bill & Bryan Keith.
Lexy Nair is with the Redwood & Bad Apple, and says they asked for this time, so what is on their mind? Bill says they promised to crack skulls and stack W’s, and that is what they did to the Gates of Agony. Keith says for just a second in that Street Fight, he didn’t think he was gonna make it. But he appreciates Bill has his back. Bill says he always has BK’s back. But that was only one W. ONE! If there’s another team out there that thinks- Oh, there is a team! JD Drake & Anthony Henry step in! Drake says it’s like they’ve seen a ghost!
Don’t let the fact that the Workhorsemen haven’t been in an AEW ring in over a YEAR lead you to believe that they aren’t two men who are obsessed with success. Fellas, that’s not an option where these two come from. So uh, if Bill & BK wanna have it their way, Drake & Henry are ready to punch in, and knock out! BK says bet! Bill says if they wanna get their skulls cracked, then by all means. CRACK CRACK! Drake says okay, see y’all soon. But will Scrap Metal & The Saint of Augusta chop down what’s left of the Learning Tree?

AUBREY!” The ref tells Julia to back off, Mone is upset that her potatoes are ruined, but Julia says oops, guess the match is over.

Toni endures, claws at the mat, and Mone munches asparagus while Toni RAMS Julia into a corner! Toni fires elbows, but Julia bumps her off buckles! Julia fires forearms, then stomps a mudhole in. Julia digs her boot in, the ref counts, and Julia steps off at 4 while AEW goes to break.
The Summer Blockbuster returns and Julia wrenches to RAM shoulders with Toni! And RAMS, and RAMS! Toni falls, Julia stands her up to wrench and bring her back to a corner. Julia climbs, throws more shots, then goes back to the top. Julia tightrope walks again, but Toni says no more Old School as she trips Julia up! Toni shakes the ropes to jam up Hart’s throne!

Not quite perfect but the fans rally up all the same!
Toni watches Julia go to a corner, but now Julia needs to be checked. The ref has Toni stay back, Julia stands up, and Toni rushes in! Julia goes up and over to catch Toni into the TARANTULA!

But then Mone storms in to go after #MinaNow! Mone HAMMERS away on the former Rev-Pro British Women’s Champion and TOSSES her out!

Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Lexy Nair is now with the One & Only, and says he has made it abundantly clear that he wants to recruit people to his side to ultimately- Ricochet stops her there and says yes, everyone already knows that Ricochet is searching for the perfect group of individuals to help make his quest for gold a reality. But then in steps Lee Johnson & Blake Christian. Big Shotty tells Ricochet that hey, he and Blake peeped Ricochet being ringside for Lee’s match last week. They know he saw what they can do, and Blake says that maybe, they don’t need something but someone.
Ricochet stops them there, and he says yes, he is searching for the perfect “ultra athletes” to help him navigate through the “unjust waters” of AEW. Honestly, he has been watching them for a long, long time. Recently, a lot of people have been putting Ricochet onto them, showing him their stuff, because they are impressing the right people in the right places. Ricochet says that it is rather embarrassing to see two grown men go out there, week in and week out, playing make-believe Ricochet. And although they were impressive in the ring, there is something they are just missing. AHA~! Ricochet leaves, but will he regret dissing Big Shotty & Vanilla Babyface?

AEW shares footage from after Fyter Fest.
AEW Media found Kris Statlander on her way out, and asked her if she had a minute to talk. Kris grumbled in frustration and asked what they wanted to talk to her about. They wanna talk about Willow Nightingale? Kris has tried to make amends, but Willow says she’s done with Kris, so Kris is done with that. Why not talk about the fact that she is still Kris Statlander! And let’s remember that there is no one else on this roster like Kris Statlander! So why isn’t that good enough!? But then Wheeler Yuta walked in. He wanted her to calm down and asked if she’s alright.
Yuta knows things have been tough since losing Willow, and since losing Best Friends. Things had worked out more or less for her, and things have worked out more or less for Yuta. But he had to make a lot of tough choices to get where he is, so if she ever needs any advice- Kris shrugs Yuta right off, but he says he’ll be here for her. And here’s one for free: Forget about what others think of you, just make your own choices. Kris says yeah, whatever. She pushes past Yuta, but then stares down Marina Shafir. Kris pushes past her, too, but will The Death Riders become a problem for the Galaxy’s Greatest?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee Paquette is now with The CEO, and there is a lot to unpack about what Mone did out there earlier. But what did Mone whisper in Toni’s ear? Mone says she doesn’t kiss and tell. But Toni got what she deserved. And at All In: Texas, Mone gets everything that she wants. Well, there is also another thing, given that Mone put the challenge out there to Zeuxis for the CMLL Women’s World Championship. Yes, that is right! But wait! Zeuxis is here! Mone chuckles and says, “Hola, p*ta.” Zeuxis smiles and tells Mone, “Challenge accepted. B*TCH!” Then she DECKS Mone!! Zeuxis says see you at Grand Slam! Will the Warrior Goddess derail the Money Train in Mexico?
AEW returns and…
Renee Paquette is now outside the medical trainers’ room, hoping for an update on Will Ospreay after he took those spiked Reeboks to the face. But Hangman Page storms up, and he asks how Ospreay’s doing. Renee says she doesn’t know, she- But then The Bucks step in and Matt says he had no idea The Death Riders were gonna do that. Hangman tells The Bucks to tell him in five words or less why he shouldn’t take their heads off! Oh, okay, how about this? They were aiming for Swerve. Y’know, the guy they kept busy for two months so Hangman could have a clear shot at winning The Owen Hart Cup?
Prince Nana pokes his head out from the medical room to hear some of this, but then slips back inside before he’s spotted. Matt tells Hangman that hey, you’re welcome! And don’t forget: All Hangman has to do now is stick the landing. All he has to do now is win the world title and bring it to The Elite. Y’know? The real plan? WHAT real plan!? There is and never has been a “plan” between them! Hangman doesn’t hear from The Bucks in months, never asked for them to do what they did at Dynasty, and sure as s*it didn’t ask them to do anything tonight. Hangman cannot believe he has to tell these two again: Stay out of his business! Stay out of Ospreay’s business!
And for that matter, stay out of Swerve’s business. And if they don’t, if Hangman ever burns down a home again… He’ll make sure they’re trapped in it first. Hangman storms off and Matt says okay, Hangman just made his bed. Nana again sneaks a peak at this, and then he goes to tell Swerve. Did Swerve hear any of that? Swerve says, “Every word.” Then will The Realest finally realize Ospreay was right? Is Hangman not the enemy?
Thekla VS Queen Aminata!
Welcome to her parlor, said the Toxic Spider to the entire AEW Women’s Division! She struck down Jamie Hayter, melted Lady Frost, but will she take a bite out of the One True African Queen? Or will she get stomped on and thrown away with the trash?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Aminata and Thekla stare down, and Aminata is first to step up. Thekla runs up, Aminata avoids the sobat, and the two reset. They circle, but Thekla tries again! Aminata catches her, SLAMS her, then flips her, but Thekla arm-drags! Aminata comes back, Thekla snapmares but Aminata again avoids the sobat! The fans cheer the exchange and the two reset again. Aminata says she knows what Thekla is after, and the two circle again. Aminata calls for a knuckle lock, and shows off her height advantage with it. Thekla nods and steps up, but then she SLAPS Aminata! The fans fire up but Aminata brushes that off.
Aminata SLAPS Thekla, snapmares her, and then snapmares again! And again! Aminata DOUBLE CHOPS and Thekla falls! Aminata runs to PENALTY KICK! Thekla tumbles out of the ring and the fans fire up! Aminata waits on Thekla while Thekla checks her chin. The ring count starts but Thekla takes her time. She returns at 5 of 10, but is wary of Aminata’s long reach. Thekla goes around the outside, the ref has to keep Aminata back, but then Thekla drops back down. Thekla soaks up the heat, but Aminata does push-ups to show she’s not worried. Thekla returns and Aminata BOOTS her right down!
Aminata whips, Thekla ducks ‘n’ dodges, and Thekla tilt-o-whirls for the RANA! Aminata goes to ropes, Thekla runs up and BOOTS her in return! Aminata dangles so Thekla goes to the apron and BOOTS her back in! The fans fire up and Thekla grins while the Summer Blockbuster goes picture in picture.
Thekla drags Aminata up, bumps her off buckles, then smothers Aminata in the corner! The ref counts, Thekla steps off, and she stalks Aminata to another corner. Thekla CLUBS Aminata, puts her in yet another corner, but Aminata hits back! Thekla fires body shots in return! The ref counts, Thekla stops at 4, but Aminata turns things around to CHOP! Aminata CHOPS again, and again, and again! Aminata swings btu Thekla dodges the haymaker! SOBAT! Thekla finally hits that kick, then she snapmares for headscissors! Aminata endures, even as Thekla squeezes tight. Aminata rolls and rolls but Thekal rolls her back down! Aminata pushes back to a cover, TWO!
Thekla still holds on, but Aminata fights up. Thekla shifts to have the arms for a straitjacket stretch! Thekla stomps Aminata, then grabs the legs! Thekla ties the legs together for a DEATHLOCK! And then Thekla bridges back for a MUTA LOCK! Aminata endures, pulls Thekla’s hair, but Thekla lets the legs go so she can SENTON! Thekla kneels on Aminata for a cover, TWO! Thekla stays on Aminata by dragging her up, only for Aminata to fire hands! Aminata CHOPS Thekla in the corner, then wraps Thekla’s arms around ropes! The ref counts, Aminata stops at 4 to HEADBUTT! Aminata snapmares, covers, TWO!
Aminata drags Thekla up, reels her in, and snap cradles! TWO!! Thekla escapes but Aminata ELBOWS her down! Summer Blockbuster returns to single picture as Aminata has Thekla back in the corner. Aminata whips corner to corner, Thekla goes up and up, and Thekla BOOTS Aminata! Then she has the HANGING HEADSCISSORS! The ref counts while the fans cheer, and Thekla lets go at 4. Thekla hangs in place, then she returns to the ring. But Aminata trips her to a jackknife bridge! TWO, and Aminata ELBOWS then short arm LARIATS! And short arm LARIATS! Aminata BOOTS Thekla’s lariat away, then reels her in for a snap suplex!
The fans fire up while Thekla sits up in a daze. Aminata drags Thekla up, reels her back in, FISHERMAN SCREW! Aminata grins, but Thekla is up! Thekla staggers to a corner, but Aminata runs in around the world, OFF WITH HER HEAD!! “Spider where?” Aminata drags Thekla into the ring, high stack cover, TWO?!?! Thekla barely gets out of that, but Aminata kicks her around. Thekla grins as Aminata whips her. Thekla goes Spider-Woman in the ropes! She GAMANGIRIS Aminata, CLUBS her, then reels her in! Aminata backdrops but Thekla sunset flips! Aminata stays up, Thekla slips away, but turns around into a HEADBUTT!
The fans fire up and Aminata wobbles a bit, but she drags Thekla back up. Aminata puts on the headscissors for the CHOCOLATE KISSES! Then a PENALTY KICK! Aminata puts Thekla in the drop zone, then she goes up top! The fans fire up for the DIVING DOUBLE STOMPS!! Cover, TWO?!?! Thekla survives that coup de grace and Aminata can’t believe it! Aminata drags Thekla up, ROCKS her, ROCKS her, and ROCKS Her! Aminata waistlocks, but Thekla fights the suplex! Thekla fires elbows, but Aminata reels her back in! But Thekla victory rolls with a snap, TWO!! Both women stand, and Thekla ROCKS Amianta!
Aminata drops to her knees, and Thekla spider-walks! The fans fire up as Thekla then runs in and SPEARS!! But she isn’t done, she reels Aminata into the DEATH TRAP!!! Aminata TAPS, Thekla wins!
Winner: Thekla, by submission
Aminata tried to squash the spider, but the venom took effect soon enough! A gritty second match here in AEW, will Thekla not stop until she’s caught all of AEW in her web?
BREAKING NEWS for Grand Slam: Mexico!
For starters, it will be a special two-and-a-half hours, so make sure your DVR is set accordingly! Then, after the violence we saw tonight, The Death Riders & Young Bucks must work together again, this time taking on Swerve Strickland, The Opps & Will Ospreay in a TEN MAN TAG! Will the Maniac and his crew survive the anarchy in Arena Mexico? Or will it be another win for Swerve’s House?
Backstage interview with Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian.
Lexy Nair is with the ROH World Television Champion and his Superbad stepbrother in the Patriarchy. Last week, Christian Cage said something about a surprise Kip had for Nick upon his return from Japan. Is that surprise ready this week? Before Kip can answer, Nick asks where Christian even is tonight. Kip says Christian decided to give Nick some space this week. After all the hard work Nick has put in the last couple of months, he deserves it. Um, okay. Then where is his mom? Christian said he was going to put in some “hard work” with her as well, so- What?! No, that’s besides the point! Tonight is the big surprise!
Tonight, we are here to see Nick’s Best of the Super Juniors highlight reel! The video is cued up, and from his win over THE IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, El Desperado, to the great match with Kevin Knight where he… lost… Well, Nick does like how it looked. Did Kip do all that for him? Yep! Nick says he loves it. Kip says that is what brothers are for! Christian also wanted Nick to know that he really is proud of him. Kip doesn’t know where he’d be without Christian. And we don’t really know where Nick would be without him, either. Kip leaves, and Nick feels like that wasn’t quite a compliment. Will the Prodigy have to take it up with “Father” the next time we see him?
8 Man Tag: Daniel Garcia & Paragon VS Hechicero & The Don Callis Family!
Red Death teamed with Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong to take on a different formation of The Don Callis Family last week and came out on top. But now, the Alchemist of Lucha teams with The Alpha, The Walking Weapon & The Murderhawk Monster to see if they can’t change that. Will the Summer Blockbuster’s finale be undisputed? Or will tonight belong to the villains?
The teams sort out and while Daddy Magic joins commentary, he and Nigel point out how this is really 4v6 with how Roppongi Vice is ringside. Garcia starts against Hechicero and they circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and Hehci wrenches. Garcia rolls to wrench and wristlock back, but Hechi rolls to slip through and leg pick. Hechi trips Garcia, rolls with the leglock and then body scissors Garcia around. Garcia bridges to a cover, ONE, and Hechi has the Oklahoma Roll, ONE! Hechi shows off his alchemy but Garcia just puts up his dukes. The fans cheer as Garcia does his dance! Hechi seems stunned by that magic!
Hechi SWEEPS the legs, covers, ONE! Garcia sweeps, covers, ONE! Hechi slips around to waistlock but Garcia breaks free. Hechi follows, Garcia ducks, but Hechi FLAPJACKS the hurdle! Hechi ELBOW DROPS on Garcia’s back, and Garcia scrambles to a corner. Hechi runs up to STEP-UP KNEE! Hechi then tags in Konosuke, he climbs up, AX HANDLE to Garcia’s arm! Konosuke wrenches to then CLUB the arm, YANK the arm, and suplex! Garcia slips free, tag to Cole! Cole dodges Konosuke to fire forearms! Konosuke CLAWS Cole’s eyes! Konosuke runs but Cole ROCKS him first! Cole runs, but Konosuke BOOTs him first!
Konosuke deadlifts Cole, but Cole breaks the waistlock to PELE! Konosuke wobbles, Cole brings him around, tag to Roddy. They mug Konosuke, then Roddy tags Kyle. Kyle goes up, BACKBREAKER KNEE DROP COMBO! The fans fire up and Kyle fires knees and KICKS! Konosuke falls, Kyle tags Roddy back in, and Roddy CHOPS! Konosuke goes to an open corner, Roddy runs up, but Konosuke turns shining wizard into an ALLEYH-OOP onto buckles! Roddy falls back, Archer tags in, but Roddy dodges him! Archer hits buckles, Kyle tags, and Paragon unleashes CHOPS and KICKS! Josh Alexander runs up, but he gets CHOPS and KICKS!
Archer guzels Roddy & Kyle, but they DOUBLE KNEE free! Kyle has Archer and Roddy runs, but Archer fights free! Archer BOOTS Roddy, but Kyle KICKS and KICKS and KICKS! But Archer guzels again! Kyle KICKS the legs, Alexander is back but gets a BOOT! Archer gives Kyle a ride on the HELLICOASTER! Archer then BLASTS Garcia and Cole just because! The fans are torn while the Summer Blockbuster goes picture in picture.
Archer stomps Kyle, then drags him up to whip into the Callis corner hard! Kyle falls, Hechi tags in, and Hechi stomps Kyle. Hechi top wristlocks Kyle for a tilt-o-whirl and headscissor takedown! Kyle endures the squeeze, even as Hechi thrashes around! Kyle bridges, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Hechi lets go but he stomps Kyle, and grabs a leg. SPINNING TOEHOLD! Hechi CHOPS Kyle down, Garcia kicks at Hechi, so Hechi CHOPS Garcia! The ref reprimands them both, but Kyle rolls Hechi up! The ref is busy with Garcia at first, but then the Callis Family all break it up before the count! Hechi then wrenches Kyle to KNEE him low.
Hechi tags Konosuke and he stomps Kyle. Tag to Alexander, he and Konosuke double whip to DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! Konosuke mocks Garcia’s dance, then Alexander drags Kyle up. Alexander ROCKS Kyle, stomp shim, then stomps him more. Alexander clinches but Kyle fires body shots. Alexander DECKS Kyle, then tags Archer. They mug Kyle, then Archer puts Kyle in an open corner. Kyle dodges the chop to KICK! Archer DECKS Kyle! Archer drags Kyle up, whips him to a corner, then runs in for an ELBOW! Archer whips Kyle back into the corner, then CORNER CHOKE SLAMS him! Kyle staggers around, into a BELLY2BELLY! Cover, TWO!
Archer snarls but Kyle is still in this. Archer drags Kyle over, bumps him off buckles, and tags in Alexander. Alexander RAMS Kyle, brings him around, and scoop SLAMS him! Alexander drops a KNEE, then covers, TWO! Alexander keeps Kyle down with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Kyle endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Summer Blockbuster returns to single picture as Alexander CLUBS Kyle down! Alexander CHOPS Kyle, but Kyle fires as forearm! They go back and forth, then Kyle KICKS! Kyle runs up but Alexander picks him up! Alexander throws Kyle back, blocks a kick, and he CLUBS the leg!
Alexander ROLLING- NO, Kyle ROCKS him first! And then DOUBLE LARIATS bring them both down! The fans fire up and so do the teams! Kyle and Alexander crawl, hot tags to Garcia and Konosuke! Garcia fires hands on Konosuke, then roars as he runs! LARIAT! Konosuke stays up and he shouts back at Garcia! Garcia runs to LARIAT again! Konosuke still eggs Garcia on, Garcia runs again, but Konosuke BOOTS him! Konosuke runs, but Garcia dodges the lariat to LARIAT! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Garcia pounds the mat, runs corner to corner, and LARIATS! Then he climbs up to rain down fists!
The fans count along, and Garcia goes to nine, winds up, and hits TEN! The fans fire up again and Garcia whips corner to corner. Konosuke reverses, runs in, but Garcia BOOTS him! Garcia goes up, reels Konosuke in, and TORNADO SNAP SUPLEXES! But that’s just the start as Garcia rises back up. But Konosuke suplexes now! Garcia fights that, and hits a TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Cover, TWO! Konosuke survives, Archer warns Garcia, but Garcia has the legs. Garcia steps through, but Konosuke rolls him into a cradle! TWO, and both men stand!

Konosuke reverses the whip, then picks Garcia up for the BLUE THUNDER- NO, Garcia hits a headlock takeover! Garcia floats to have the legs, but the ref tries to tell him Konosuke isn’t legal!

Alexander drags Garcia up, reels him in and tucks the arms, but Garcia BACKDROPS free! Hot tag to Roddy! DROPKICK for Alexander! JUMP KNEE for Archer! Roddy DECKS Hechi for good measure! Alexander runs up, Roddy catches him for an ANGLE SLAM! Konosuke runs in, Roddy dodges to DROPKICK!
The fans fire up more as Roddy keeps moving, and he WRECKS Hechi with a dropkick! Then he BOOTS and ENZIGIRIS Alexander, fireman’s carries and GUTBUSTER DROPS! Then a SICK KICK!! High stack, TWO!! But into the STRONGHOLD!! Archer runs in, but Kyle intercepts him with a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Konosuke runs in, but Cole trips Konosuke, steps through, and has a FIGURE FOUR! Hechi runs in, Garcia intercepts him for a DRAGONTAMER!! QUADRUPLE SUBMISSIONS!! But Archer CLOBBERS Roddy using Kyle! And then he stomps Cole! Garcia jumps on Archer, but Archer SPINEBUSTERS!
The fans rally as Kyle stands and Archer runs up. Kyle DUMPS Archer out, then Roddy joins in! They BLAST Archer off the apron! RPG Vice gets up so Roddy & Kyle BLAST them, too!

The ref reprimands Archer, but Alexander waistlocks Roddy. Roddy fights free with elbows, but Konosuke sneaks in! ALPHA ELBOW!! Alexander GERMAN SUPLEXES with a bridging cover, DON CALLIS FAMILY WINS!
Winners: Hechicero & The Don Callis Family, by pinfall
The numbers game favors the Don Callis Family, but here’s MORE BREAKING NEWS for Grand Slam: Mexico! After everything else we saw tonight, there will now be a TWELVE MAN TAG! The Don Callis Family will team with FTR against Adam Cole, Daniel Garcia, Brody King, Bandido, Templario and Atlantis Junior! Will the Don Callis Family prove they’re living legends just like Cash & Dax? Or will someone take the #TopGuysOut?
My Thoughts:
A great special for this “Summer Blockbuster,” but… for all the hype they put on it, they didn’t bother booking this as one giant 4 hour show. Instead, it was just like last week’s Fyter Fest: they booked a wild Dynamite followed by a typical Collision. They did keep some throughlines, such as the Hangman-Ospreay-Swerve story, and all this stuff with the Don Callis Family, which were perhaps the strongest parts of the night. Ospreay VS Swerve to open with the planned time limit draw was a good call, especially with The Bucks and Death Riders getting involved, but then having it revealed that The Death Riders captured Hangman in a later segment was a bit weird, maybe even redundant.
Why not have the Death Riders drag Hangman out there while they were about to attack Ospreay and Swerve? They could’ve made Hangman watch as they set Swerve up and then Ospreay “takes the bullet” for Swerve. You could even still have The Opps rush out there to stop it all, giving a better set-up for the Grand Slam 10 Man Tag. And you can even still have Hangman go hunting for Death Riders (not that he found them after that moment), and you still get the promo with Hangman confronting The Bucks and Swerve overhearing it all. That all said, that is a good move, because now Swerve knows Hangman isn’t in cahoots with The Elite, and we’re a step closer to Swerve and Hangman working together.
But speaking of that, I didn’t really like the plot twist of Okada being on Callis’ side with all this. I get that Okada wants to be the Heel in this situation, but couldn’t he be a Heel and oppose Callis at the same time? Though, the sheer shock value of Omega coughing up all that prop blood was wild. As for this “Unified Championship,” someone tell that nerd, TK, that you don’t call it “Winner Takes All” and then claim there will be a unified title. You call it a UNIFICATION match and then do that. “Winner Takes All” would mean that one person is a double champion, defending both belts either together or in double headers.
As far as the belt’s design, the main plate looks great, and TK clearly insists on the picture of a crown being included. The side plates featuring Omega’s One Winged Angel and Okada’s Rainmaker clearly labels this as “The Omega and Okada belt” so what’s even the point of any of this other than to say AEW is punctuating their legendary feud? It’s almost as bad as the overly gigantic “Crown Jewel Championships” the Saudi princes had WWE use. Almost. That said, Omega has to win this Unified title now given how badly Okada beat him up.
The Don Callis Family sure came out on top tonight, though. Kyle VS Bowens was great stuff, great win for Kyle. And then the 8 Man Tag that was the main event of the whole night was also great, with a naturally cheated win by the Callis Family. That confrontation in the middle of Collision with FTR and the Atlantis family was rather wild, and that 12 Man Tag will be great stuff. The Hurt Syndicate of course won their Six Man Tag, but a shame that Komander was legitimately out with injury. The backstage attack shown on socials is a good cover, hopefully it isn’t too serious. And Mistico gets the better of MJF tonight, so chances are, MJF cheats to win in Mexico.
Good promo from Ricochet with Blake & Lee, and I should’ve figured Ricochet’s ego would make him see himself so far above them. Though, to be fair, it is a shame Blake is undefeated in ROH this year, yet jobber to the stars on AEW. I not for the ROH World TV title being in the Patriarchy story with Nick Wayne and Christian Cage, I bet Blake would already be champ. But speaking of, good promo from Nick and Kip to not only plug Nick’s time in NJPW, but to also add a bit more heat to the story. Nick might be able to stomach Christian being so condescending to him, but he’s not about to let Christian hook up with his mom! I suspect we get a Title VS Freedom from The Patriarchy match as part of the blowoff.
Very good “standby match” from Bandido VS Mortos, and I suppose it really was put together to fill time, the ending seemed a little uncertain. Bandido of course wins to stay strong going into both Grand Slam: Mexico, but also into the title story that is brewing with MXM TV. MXM TV VS Conglomeration was also a very good Mixed Six that might’ve also been a “standby” match. But it was a good win for the Conglomeration, and a good segue into Kris Statlander’s promo. Though, maybe it wasn’t timed the best when we saw Kris still watching the Mixed Six. Why not wait to do such a promo tonight? Have Yuta & Marina confront Kris, but also add a bit where Hangman is storming by and the Death Riders run for it? Add intrigue to things where Kris doesn’t tell Hangman where they went!
And great stuff from the Women’s Division tonight. One match in the Dynamite half, two for Collision, and all great stuff. TayJay gets a great win off Megan & Ford, mostly because of Ford being cocky. I would think we build to yet another classic Women’s Tag Team Street Fight, but maybe that concept is overused. Maybe they go a step further and make it a Women’s Tag Cage? Thekla VS Aminata was awesome, a lot more than I expected, but that helped both women here. Thekla is on that debut push, Aminata needs to stay strong while waiting on the Women’s Pure Championship tournament, best of both worlds right here.
Toni VS Julia was really good, what with Skye helping attack beforehand and them playing up that Toni might’ve been unable to continue. I still feel like Toni should’ve been watching while Mone was in a Title Eliminator situation, but I suppose it works since Toni’s gimmick is movies. And it works that Mone’s whole gimmick is not being a fighting champion but a spoiled rich girl. Zeuxis does get her back for calling her out, though, and Mone VS Zeuxis is going to be a great match. I hope for Zeuxis’ sake, she wins next week, as Mone held onto that NJPW Strong Women’s title and still is holding onto the Rev-Pro Women’s title for a long time. Seriously, is Mone going to hold the British title until Forbidden Door: London?
