The Violent Artist has joined Cole and Fish in AEW, but are they friends or foes? The Best Friends rush back, Cole & Kyle fight them off! Fish helps out, and they’re mugging Trent & Chuck! Bobby & Kyle set up Chuck, Cole SUPERKICKS Chuck down! And then reDRagon gets Trent up for HIGH LOW!! The Bucks return, they’re wondering what’s going on here. Is this the Christmas gift Cole meant? Apparently, but is Cole Elite or Undisputed? Can’t he be both?
AEW has a BIG match set for the TBS debut!
After their ONE HOUR time limit draw at Winter is Coming, we’re getting Hangman Page VS Bryan Danielson II for Dynamite on January 5th! Will TBS see that Dynamite is “The Best Show?”
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Nothing like being in the Greensboro Coliseum! But let’s welcome from Virginia, the AEW World Champion, Hangman Page! The Cowboy is here and fans are fired up! Schiavone welcomes the champion, and says in two weeks, the rematch is part of the TBS debut. Schiavone wants to say that last week’s match was one of the greats in AEW history, and Hangman was so close to winning before time ran out. Hangman is handed the mic and he says he’ll stop that all here. After 60 minutes, covered in sweat and blood, his one arm barely hanging on and barely any air in his body, Hangman was handed back the title.
As AEW went to commercial, Hangman managed to get up the ramp, and he looked back at the title. He saw his reflection in it, and thought that it was a bit funny. In his three years in AEW, last week, he’d never felt less of a champion. “So the feeling from last week, the only feeling that I have, is disappointment.” But here comes Bryan Danielson to say, “Wait, wait, wait! Wait. Wait. Wait.” Fans chant, “YES! YES! YES!” but Bryan still wants us to wait. “Entitled Millennial Cowboy still has the AEW Championship around his shoulder, and he’s disappointed. Aww…! Poor cowboy! Let’s show all the people your emotions about how disappointed you are.”
You know who should be disappointed? The AEW fans! Bryan says he kicked Hangman’s ass for sixty minutes, and if anyone should be champion, it should be him! Fans are torn on that one. But Bryan isn’t someone who’s gonna come out and cry about things, or say how sad he is. No. The rematch is January 5th, and Bryan will just kick Hangman’s ass again. But here’s what Bryan doesn’t want to happen. Hangman survived sixty minutes because Bryan’s match with John Silver, he hurt his leg a little, or else he would’ve destroyed Hangman. But Bryan won’t wrestle in front of these idiots here tonight, or next week, or until January 5th!
But here’s another problem: if Hangman Page goes out there on the 5th, and stalls for sixty minutes to escape with the title, we just end up in the same situation, where the rightful champion standing right here empty handed, “and that piece of Cowboy Shit standing in the ring with the title.” But Bryan isn’t here to complain, he is not entitled. He came here with a solution! Here’s what Bryan proposes: January 5th, there are judges, so that if Hangman tries to stall, everyone will see and know that the true AEW World Heavyweight Champion is Bryan Danielson! Fans are chanting no? They don’t want that? Surely these idiots know he won that match!
Hangman says that Bryan’s real creative. Did it take him all week to come up with judges? Because Hangman came up with an Ironman match, Ladder match, Cage match, hell even an Inferno match, and just a match with no time limits. Because Bryan did something that no one’s done: took Hangman past 30, 40 and 50 minutes, out into those deep waters. Bryan tried to hold Hangman under, but the final seconds, the ones that counted, Hangman swam. If Hangman had three more seconds, he would’ve drowned Bryan. But y’know what? If they keep the time limit and they add judges, fine! Give some old guys a payday.
But Bryan better make sure he pays them in advance, cuz they won’t earn it. Hangman’s come way too far for this title. Hangman’s spilled far too much blood for this title! He has given way too much of himself for this title to have some old pricks sit at ringside to tell Hangman he’s not good enough, he’s not a champion, he’s only a B+ player. Because that’s just horseshit. So if the question is, “Can Hangman Adam Page beat Bryan Danielson in less than one hour?” In two weeks, the answer is… “YES!” Bryan says, “How dare you!” Hangman dares Bryan to do more, but enough’s been said! Who will be the title match judges? And will they be needed if we get another time limit draw?
MJF speaks with The Pinnacle.
He didn’t want the cameras here for this, but whatever. MJF thanks Shawn Spears being a great accountabilibuddy, and Wardlow did great with the post-match acquisition of champagne. That should’ve been done way before the match was over, and way before MJF & FTR got attacked by “those three Mid shmucks,” CM Punk, Sting & Darby Allin. Just outta curiosity, MJF’s paying Wardlow a lot of money to protect him, correct? He sure does. Well then they can only blame Punk. This is what Punk does to people. He drives them insane, and has burned every single bridge in his career.
That’s why MJF isn’t worried tonight. #MJFTR isn’t a team, it’s a family! And Punk knows nothing about that cuz he’s a loner. “Much like that emo skateboarding punk and his creepy clown uncle,” those three aren’t going to be able to coexist. Fans might’ve been fooled but not MJF. MJF knows Punk made the save for himself. Everything has to be about Punk, and when it’s not, that’s when the REAL Punk comes out to play. Is that more low hanging fruit? Punk just says that to hide the truth. But here’s the truth: inside the ring, Punk is rustier than the knife Darby uses to skin small animals. The fact is, that fake nice guy mask is slipping off faster than Sting’s Crusty the Clown make-up. And the fact is, when MJF gave Punk the opportunity to shake his hand and walked away, he chose early retirement!
Dax Harwood speaks up, saying FTR had no problems with Punk. But when someone threatens Dax’s position, his livelihood, his family, then there is a problem. The Pinnacle is Dax’s family. You’re looking at the three kings of pro-wrestling! If you wanna be a king, you gotta kill one, and those three don’t have the balls to do it. The Pinnacle is a family, a unified group, the absolute best unit in this world! Cuz when you’re Pinnacle, you’re always on top. But will MJFTR be knocked down from their perch by those they call misfits?
Wardlow w/ Shawn Spears VS Shawn Dean!
Obviously, the accountabilibuddy is with Pinnacle’s War Dog again. Will Spears keep Wardlow from going overboard against the Captain?
The bell rings and fans chant, “Wardlow’s gonna kill~ you!” Wardlow and Dean tie up, and Wardlow throws Dean down! Wardlow reels Dean in and fans know what’s coming! POWERBOMB! That’s one, and Spears wants Wardlow to leave it at that. But fans want “ONE MORE TIME!” so Wardlow obliges! ANOTHER POWERBOMB! Spears says that’s good, but Wardlow gets Dean up for a THIRD POWERBOMB! The Symphony is only getting going! A FOURTH POWERBOMB! Cocky cover, Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall
And then Spears adds on with chair shots! Wardlow rolls his eyes but Spears raises Wardlow’s hand in victory. Spears says it’s time to go, and Wardlow seems very annoyed. When will the Pinnacle’s most powerful member get the respect he deserves?
AEW looks at the Christmas TNT Championship match.
Excalibur says Christmas is a great night for pro-wrestling. Sammy Guevara remembers back to the very first Dynamite, and his match with Cody Rhodes. That was Sammy’s biggest match then, but now tides have turned. Schiavone reminds us that Cody was the inaugural TNT Champion, and he put in the work defending that title. He cut such a frantic pace, but so has Sammy. A win over that former champion could cement Sammy’s reign. But if Cody can become a two-time TNT Champion, and on Christmas night, a night Dusty Rhodes once reigned supreme, it’d be a very special moment. Sammy says, “You think this is gonna be your present? Hell no!” All Cody’s getting is coal and an ass kicking. Will the Spanish God reign on the American Nightmare’s holidays?
Dan Lambert & The Men of the Year are in the nosebleeds.
Lambert quotes Shakespeare, “Heavy is the head that wears the crown.” Kings and queens of yesteryear knew that their position to make decisions over the lives of other people was not just a great privilege, but also a responsibility for justice. Lambert doesn’t expect people here to understand that. Their greatest difficulties are whether or not to download the latest updates on their cellphones, or to turn off the light in the mother’s basement and get outta the house. But to leaders like himself, Lambert knows those words ring true today. He leads the most successful MMA gym on the planet! He knows that every decision he makes must be fair to create a level playing field so the most successful are also the most deserving.
But Tony CONMAN is the flipside to that! Khan uses the buddy system! If you’re his buddy, you’re an EVP and you get every chance to shine. If not, it’s opening match status or backstage vignettes for the rest of your career. Scorpio Sky was one of the first AEW World Tag Team Champions. He’s the only man to pin Chris Jericho twice. Ethan Page has dressed better, wrestled better and won better than anybody since he got here. Yet these two studs are stuck on the sidelines Christmas night watching Cody get yet another title shot, against Sammy Guevara. If that doesn’t prove Lambert’s point, here’s the most blatant example of all of how Khan sets someone he doesn’t like up for failure.
Just look how they’re treating Lambert! “Put yourself in an impossible situation. An utterly hopeless condition. Given an assignment you can never successfully complete! He actually wants me to get you to cheer for Cody Rhodes!” The Men of the Year laugh as Lambert says Cody’s a bigger dick than Lambert! “Newsflash: I don’t give a damn who you cheer for or who you boo. I don’t care if it’s Cody or Sammy standing tall at the end of that match on Christmas night. My only concern is that one of these guys gets the next title match. And when they do, we won’t need any help from the owner of the company to bring that title back to American Top Team!”
Lambert leaves it at that as the Closer and All Ego both claim next. Will either of them be ready for whoever comes out of Holiday Bash Part 2 the TNT Champion?
Schiavone interviews Britt Baker backstage.
Britt says Merry Christmas and wishes us a Happy AEW Holiday Bash. Ew, was that a bug on her chair? They’re never coming back to Greensboro. Schiavone wanted to talk about Battle of the Belts and Britt’s title match with Riho. Britt’s never beaten Riho 1v1. Yeah, well, she’s bigger, stronger and most importantly, the AEW Women’s World Champion, and she also has Jamie Hayter by her side. Uh, Rebel’s here, too. Well, even Hayter lost to Riho recently. Hayter slashes her throat at Schiavone for that comment. Britt says if they’re going to bring up the past, then let’s talk about all of 2021. You can’t bring up this year without calling it the Era of the DMD.
And here’s why: Britt didn’t slide in and take someone’s spot, and she didn’t inherit a throne. In fact, Britt built her own throne and her own kingdom! She’s built the division from the ground up, and she’s a pillar of this entire company! She is the pulse of AEW! And if you think 2022 is going to start with Riho, that little brat who just gets a title match whenever she wants, dethroning Britt, you have another thing coming. Riho should’ve just stayed under the bottom rope at All Out. Britt knows Riho wants a title for Christmas, but Riho’s outta her league. “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.” Merry Christmas from Yours Truly, Britt Baker, DMD.
AEW looks back on Owen Hart.
To Mark Henry, Owen Hart represented family. Owen taught Mark a lot about how to get into the business. If someone ribs you, rib ’em back. Adam Cole says Owen was very influential. He made Cole appreciate the technical side of pro-wrestling. Cole loved watching Owen and Bret, and then Owen in NJPW. Owen was one of the best. Matt Hardy says Owen’s mark on the industry is showing the smaller, athletic and acrobatic wrestlers are absolutely important to pro-wrestling. 2point0 saw Owen Hart as the coolest guy, it was mind-blowing.
Hardy adds Owen was a groundbreaker, an innovator, and he really opened up the style of pro-wrestling, especially for “smaller” guys, the ones who weren’t 6’8″ and 380 pounds. Eddie Kingston, the way he grew up, a real man takes care of his family. That was Owen Hart. Dusty Rhodes says Owen was an incredible family man, an incredible wrestler and story teller, as well as ribber. One of the all time greats. Mark says Owen will go down as someone who brought fun and life to pro-wrestling. Shawn Spears says everyone should strive to be that kind of person. If you’re as gifted as Owen, and to have a beautiful soul, how much more can you ask for?
Cole says the reason Owen’s legacy will go on is because of how you constantly hear about the kind of man he was. Those who shared a locker room with him tell stories of how wonderful he was, and so it isn’t just about what he did in the ring, but who he was as a person.
TBS Championship Tournament Semifinal: Nyla Rose w/ Vickie Guerrero VS Ruby Soho!
The Native Beast got a first round bye and crushed Hikaru Shida. But the Runaway fought her way from round one against Penelope Ford to then defeat the Galaxy’s Greatest Alien, Kris Statlander. Will Ruby keep that run going? Or will she be eaten alive by this Vicious Vixen?
But while Ruby’s on the ropes waving to the fans, Nyla attacks! The bell rings as Nyla stomps away then throws body shots! Nyla pulls Ruby’s jacket off, stomps her down, then rains down fists! Fans boo, Nyla drags Ruby up and CLUBS her down! Nyla says Ruby’s’ jacket is stupid cuz it can’t even come off properly. Ruby finally gets free of her jacket, and she fires off CHOPS and forearms on Nyla! Ruby stomps a foot, sobats then front kicks, but runs into a SWAT! Nyla stomps Ruby more, then claws Ruby’s face! The ref reprimands and counts, Nyla lets off to bump Ruby off buckles. Nyla TOSSES Ruby corner to corner, then drags Ruby up to whip to ropes.
Ruby tilt-o-whirls through, and has the cording hold! Ruby fires off forearms and elbows, then ducks the clothesline. But Nyla blocks the STO with pure power, to URENAGE Ruby right down! Nyla drags Ruby back up, reels her in, but Ruby fights free to wrench, only for Nyla to CLOBBER her! Nyla drags Ruby back up, throws her out of the ring, and goes out after her. Nyla leaps from the apron to AX HANDLE Ruby down! Nyla fish hooks Ruby’s face to make her look at the camera and puppet her mouth. Ruby fights free to CHOP and CHOP back! Nyla kicks low, but Ruby blocks the apron bump to ROCK Nyla with forearms and uppercuts!
Ruby headbutts Nyla again and again and again as fans fire up! Vickie is furious as Ruby runs in, but Vickie gets Nyla out of the way! Ruby hits steps and Vickie laughs at Ruby’s pain. Nyla gets in the ring while AEW goes picture in picture.
Nyla goes back out to scoop and SLAM Ruby on the floor! Nyla then gets back in the ring to soak up the heat. Ruby writhes, a ring count starts, and it’s already 5 of 10 while Ruby is still down. Ruby drags herself up at and in at 7! Nyla scoops Ruby to SLAM her again! And then Nyla drops a leg! Cocky one hand cover, TWO! Nyla is frustrated, so she takes Ruby’s hand and BITES it! The ref reprimands, Nyla stops, then drags Ruby up. Ruby throws body shots and forearms, then she whips. Nyla blocks with power, whips Ruby to a corner, but Ruby elbows her back! Ruby goes up to headscissors, but Nyla pops her up to an Electric Chair!
Ruby fights back, but Nyla blocks the Poison-Rana to INVERTED ALABAMA SLAM Ruby into buckles! The ref checks on Ruby but somehow she’s okay to continue. Nyla drags her to a cover, TWO!! Ruby lives and Nyla is annoyed. Nyla stands on Ruby’s hand while raining down rights! Cover, TWO! Vickie shouts at the ref but Nyla drags Ruby up to scoop and SLAM again. Nyla runs and SPLASHES onto knees! AEW returns to single picture as Ruby LARIATS! Nyla stays up, so Ruby LARIATS again! Ruby dodges Nyla, blocks a kick to KNEE and SUPERKICK and ENZIGURI! Fans fire up with Ruby as she runs at the ropes, but Nyla blocks the monkey flip!
Nyla bounces Ruby off ropes, but Ruby uses that to TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO!! Ruby is beside herself as Nyla bails out. Ruby goes to the apron, but Nyla looks under the ring? Nyla gets a chair! But Ruby DROPKICKS it into Nyla’s face! Vickie is upset while Nyla is down on the outside! Fans rally up, Ruby drags Nyla up and into the ring. Ruby climbs a corner, the ref checks on Nyla, and Vickie gets up on the apron to shove Ruby down! Ruby hotshots off ropes, and Nyla hurries to get Ruby draped over them! Nyla goes up, FLYING KNEE! Cover, TWO?!? Vickie is fuming and Nyla is shocked! Ruby clutches her arm, the ref has Nyla stay back.
The ref checks on Ruby but Ruby refuses to quit. So Nyla drags Ruby up to wrench and hammerlock the arm, to RAM it into the buckles! Nyla runs in, but Ruby BOOTS her! Ruby fires forearms with the good arm, and even CHOPS! Nyla CHOPS, then scoops Ruby, but Ruby turns that to a dragon sleeper! Nyla calls to Vickie, the ref is busy with Vickie again! Ruby lets Nyla go and then KICKS Vickie down! Nyla gets Ruby up for a BEAST BOMB!! Cover, TWO?!?!? HOW?!?! Nyla is foaming at the mouth! Nyla drags Ruby but Greensboro is thunderous! Nyla drags Ruby up the corner, but Ruby turns that into a SUPER NO FUTURE!!! Cover, Ruby wins!!!
Winner: Ruby Soho, by pinfall (advances to the finals)
Ruby took on Nyla and Vickie and she still won, with just one arm! But is Ruby just one win away from being the first-ever AEW TBS Champion?
Serena Deeb speaks.
After Hikaru Shida used the loose turnbuckle against Deeb, Deeb asks, “How can you call yourself a winner after what you did to me last week? You cheated your way to another tainted victory!” Shida has never decisively beaten Deeb, and this is far from over! This will go on and on until Deeb finishes her! Next time, Shida will be begging Khan to keep Deeb away from her for good! A bit revisionist from the Woman of 1000 Holds, but is nothing going to hold her back from breaking the Full Metal Warrior?
Malakai Black VS Griff Garrison w/ Brian Pillman Jr!
Talk about a nightmare before Christmas! The Dark Father stained Julia Hart with the dark mist, and the Ivy League MVP is furious over it! Will Griff avenge the Varsity Blond’s two-time cheerleading champion? Or will he be the next soul to Fade to Black?
The bell rings and Griff goes right at Malakai, but gets a ROUNDHOUSE for it! Griff goes down and sits up in a daze. Malakai crouches to talk to Griff, then runs, to go out and target BPJ! BPJ throws off his jacket, he’s ready! But then Griff DIVES and takes Malakai down at the ramp! Griff gets Malakai in, throws forearms, and Greensboro is behind their hometown hero! Griff fires off, but spins into Malakai’s KICK! And another! And another! Malakai then hits body scissor takedown to have the HEEL HOOK! Griff endures, scrambles over and gets the ROPEBREAK! Malakai holds on until 4, then takes his time. Fans rally for Griff and Griff ROCKS Malakai back!

Griff sits up, flounders, but Malakai kicks his arm away.
Malakai lifts Griff with his foot, but then kisses him goodnight before going after that leg! DEEP HALF CRAB!! Griff taps, Malakai wins!
Winner: Malakai Black, by submission
Malakai won’t stop, either! BPJ gets in and shoves Malakai away. BPJ checks on Griff, but turns around into the BLACK MASS!! BPJ goes down, Black has destroyed the Blonds! What more will Malakai do to tear down the shining lights in AEW?
Matt Hardy & Private Party speak.
“Jurassic Express, what an adorable moment you shared with the Lucha Bros.” Marq Quen mockingly says it almost made him cry. But congratulations, Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus are still #1 contenders to the tag team titles. But Hardy wants to see Private Party to take that from them! So for Christmas Rampage, Isiah Kassidy will pound Jungle Boy’s ass, and even injure him! Kassidy pretends to get a phone call, and he says that all he has to do is take JB out, and Private Party are the new #1 contenders. Nice! If JB is injured, that status is DELETED!
Jurassic Express & Christian Cage respond.
Kassidy thinks he’s going to pound JB’s ass? Don’t think so. What is going to happen is that Jurassic Express will wake up on Christmas morning, open their presents, hit the boards real quick, then head to the arena. JB will bring a big lump of coal to shove up Kassidy’s ass! And after Rampage, Kassidy will be spittin’ out diamonds. Christian adds that “those two little dipshits, Private Party can wear as many watches as they want. It will never be their time so long as Jurassic Express is here!” The Hardy Family Office won’t walk away with Jurassic Express’ #1 contender spot, but it is Christmas. They should get something nice, so how about going to AEW Shop and buying some of these limited edition Jurassic Express Christmas shirts? Merry Christmas!
Six Man Tag: MJF & FTR VS CM Punk, Darby Allin & Sting!
Max, Dax & Cash claim they’re family, living legends, and the top guys of AEW. But will they be able to win without using that Dynamite Diamond Ring, those AAA Tag Team Championships or Tully Blanchard? Or is MJFTR just SOL against the Best in the World, the Relentless One & The Icon?
The trios sort out, MJF starts against Punk. Punk’s sporting the Bladerunner surfer Sting face paint from the 90s and fans are fired up as Punk and MJF circle. MJF then tags out to Dax and fans boo. MJF soaks up the heat like he did something great, and Dax circles with Punk. Dax gets to a corner as fans chant for Punk. Dax and Punk tie up, Punk puts Dax back in the corner, but Dax powers his way out to get a headlock and takeover. Punk headscissors, Dax kips free and hits another headlock takeover, only for Punk to headscissor again. Dax kips free again, hits a third headlock takeover, but Punk again headscissors, and again Dax kips free.
Dax shoves Punk, but Punk smirks and shoves back. Dax SLAPS Punk, so Punk SLAPS Dax! MJF & Cash hurry to Dax’s side but Sting & Darby are ready behind Punk. The ref has the teams back off, Punk and Dax tie up again. Dax headlocks, Punk powers out but Dax runs him over. Things keep moving, Punk hip tosses Dax down! And then arm-drags! Punk wrenches the arm, has the wristlock, but Dax ROCKS him with a forearm! Tag to Cash, but Cash runs into a scoop and SLAM! Punk wrenches Cash’s arm, tags in Darby, and Darby grinds the headlock. Cash powers out, drops down, then CLOBBERS Darby with an elbow! MJF dares fans to chant for Darby now!
Cash drags Darby up to ROCK him with a EuroUpper! Cash brings Darby in to scoop but Darby slips out and drop steps to dropkick! Then a deep arm-drag, a wrench and a wristlock! Cash gets away before Darby can tag out. Fans chant, “We Want Sting!” but MJF tags in. MJF dares Darby to tag someone, and Punk gets in! MJF bails out and runs away! They go around the ring, MJF tags to Cash, but Punk is ready! Cash stays back, fans boo, Punk and Cash knuckle lock. Cash kicks the arm, wrenches it and has the wristlock. Punk fights up, pushes through to wrench and wristlock back! Punk points to him, and tags in STIIIING!
Fans go nuts as Sting wrenches the arm and YANKS it! And YANKS it, and YANKS it! Cash kicks back, whips, but Sting reverses to send Cash at the corner. Cash bumps off buckles, Sting sweeps the legs!

That was definitely clobbering time! The Best in the World, the Relentless One & The Icon stand tall, but MJF complains on commentary that Punk was the one avoiding him the entire match! MJF says CM Punk is a literal punk and a coward! If that’s so, then when and where will MJF finally back up his words and take on CM Punk?
My Thoughts:
Another great Dynamite, but not much of a holiday related one. Britt’s Christmas party with Schiavone was just that interview, and she was in a comfy armchair with a glass of wine, barely anything else to make it a party. Though I suppose it works in kayfabe as no one else likes Britt. But she had a good promo to hype up her title match with Riho for Battle of the Belts, that is going to be a really good one, but I would think Britt retains. She did have a good point that Riho isn’t always around from how Riho goes back and forth between Japan and the US. We got a great TBS Championship Tournament match out of Nyla VS Ruby, and they did a great job making Ruby’s win a hard earned one.
Speaking of Battle of the Belts, but what is the world title supposed to do if they’re giving us Hangman VS Bryan II on the Dynamite before? Bryan and Hangman had a good promo segment to hype up the rematch, and I do like that Hangman brought up a lot of great alternates for their rematch’s stipulation. Honestly, I forgot until Bryan brought up judges that there were judges at Jericho VS Cody, where Cody lost all rights to challenge for the top title. Will something screwy happen in the rematch to where they’ll give us the third just days later at Battle of the Belts? Or will there be a decisive winner and then they immediately bring up the next contender?
We got an awesome vignette for people to share their feelings about Owen Hart and also plug the Owen Hart Foundation tournaments. I never got a chance to watch him myself, but it’s just as they said: you hear about Owen from those who did know him and can attest to how great he was as both wrestler and person. We got a really good vignette to hype up Sammy VS Cody for Christmas, but I do have to admit Lambert had a good promo to point out the kayfabe of Cody getting stuff just because. Cody really could pile on the heat from the fans by winning on Christmas, and then take on Scorpio and Ethan in consecutive matches and see how fans react to that. It’d be really something if it was either this Christmas Rampage match or the Men of the Year that brought out Cody’s true Heel nature.
We got great stuff all in one segment for the Elite tonight with how Cole VS Cassidy went down. All logical stuff with Best Friends thwarting The Bucks, and then Fish trying it, to then give us the AEW debut of Kyle O’Reilly! For one, this was a given, and I like that we’re already getting this feeling of Cole having to choose between The Elite and the Undisputed Era. Or to put it another way, Cole has to choose between Bullet Club and NJPW or ROH and Future Shock. I really hope this means that when Omega returns, we end up with Elite OG VS Undisputed Era, that is going to be awesome stuff. Also, getting reDRagon back together when WWE dropped the ball in the latter days of NXT 1.0 is a great win for AEW.
We got a good back and forth in the promos from Hardy Family Office and Jurassic Express to hype up some of that, but I would think that’s Jungle Boy’s win. We also got great stuff from Malakai Black and the Varsity Blonds. I almost thought this was going to be where Malakai’s faction started coming together but I guess we’re getting that more for New Year’s Smash or the TBS debut. Deeb had a good promo to hype up the fact that she and Shida are going to be having an extended series of matches. And then we got great stuff out of The Pinnacle. Really good group promo and the passive aggressive disrespect towards Wardlow.
And then of course, we got an awesome Six Man main event, and holy crap MJF taking that bit of a header. Everybody was going pretty hot by the end, but that was the scarier moment in the match. The Faces win, of course, to put it on MJF to man up and face Punk 1v1. I’m also thinking, maybe FTR take on Darby & Sting 2v2. Maybe with the AAA titles on the line? And FTR can even cheat Darby & Sting so that a team signed with AAA can be the ones to dethrone FTR.
My Score: 9.3/10

The #TCM, Toni’s Classic Move, wins it for her, and Luther hands her a mic. Toni rests on the mat while she says, “This Whore You All Adore… This Slut You Can’t Rebut… This tramp is still THE CHAMP! And my gawd, what a frosty little slop tart. Now I know there’s a fresh batch of tarts back there, wanting to take a shot at this wide load that holds the gold. Yes, that’s right. Everyone’s coming for Toni Storm. But you got it all wrong, darling! Toni Storm comes for everybody! So if you’re tits can take the hits, then I’m not a hard woman to find. I could be right here.” Then she goes outside and says she could be here, or here next to this man.
Or here, down the ramp. Here with this gentlemen, by the stage, or on this bloody boardwalk! Toni goes outside of the arena and says she will be ready, sweaty, here, queer, and TIMELESS~! Toni revels in the brisk evening air of the Atlantic City beach, but who will look to ruin all the fun?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac AEW World Champion says, “When Katsuyori Shibata woke up on Wednesday morning, his fate was already sealed. He may as well have already been in the hospital. There’s nothing you can do about it, Joe, so I don’t want you to feel bad that all of the people closest to you are dropping like flies. And I struggle to find reasons to dislike Samoa Joe, I really do. The guy defined professional wrestling for a whole generation of us guys. He deserves the respect he commands. Samoa Joe is beyond reproach. But so was Bryan Danielson. Something to think about.
“Steel Cage for the world championship in Chicago. There’s this notion, this idea, that I should be scared to step into a steel cage with Samoa Joe. When you’re the world champion, every opponent is dangerous, every match is hard, every day is hard. I’m gonna do what I always do: my job. And I am exceptional at my job. You wanna lock me inside a steel cage? Lock it. Lock the door, man. This is always how this was gonna end. My affairs are in order. But if you subscribe to this notion that I should be scared, well then you haven’t been paying attention, Joe. You better make sure you thought things through.”
The Maniac has issued a warning, but will Joe even acknowledge it? Or will Joe make Moxley realize what fear really is?
$100,000 High Speed Fatal 4 Way: Rush VS Sammy Guevara w/ Dustin Rhodes VS AR Fox VS Kevin Knight!
Tony Khan’s dishing out more money, and each man has a 25% chance of bringing that jackpot home! Will El Toro Blanco, the Spanish God, the Whole Fox’n Show or The Jet be rolling in dough just in time for Mother’s Day?
The bell rings and the fans rally up for pretty much everyone in this match. All four men watch each other, then approach. Knight CLOBBERS Fox and Rush CLOBBERS Sammy! Rush and Knight then step up to each other. Knight fire a forearm but Rush eggs Knight on! The forearms go back and forth, then Rush CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” and Knight CHOPS! Rush CHOPS, and Rush wants Knight to man up! Knight CHOPS, Rush HEADBUTTS! Rush stomps away on Knight, stomps away, then “takes” Knight’s head to “punt” it into the crowd. Rush has the fans behind him right now as he and Knight speed up.

Rush has Atlantic City all cheering him on, and he goes after Knight to KICK his leg! Knight hobbles, but Rush fires body shots!

The fans rally for Fox now, but Knight puts him on the apron. Fox ROCKS Rush, jumps up, but Knight DROPKICKS him down! We can see in the rafters, glowing with blue light, that’s Hologram!

Adam Cole applauds, and certainly Sammy’s family is happy he has this money. But Sammy points to Cole, then to the All In sign. Will this Son of Texas get to go All In for the TNT Championship? Will Hologram look to add himself to the mix before too long?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week’s Collision!
First: It’ll be live at 8 PM Eastern, just like tonight. Second: It’ll be on TBS, just like tonight. Third: It will be on THURSDAY NIGHT instead of Saturday! Make sure to adjust your DVR accordingly so you don’t miss a moment of the action!
Samoa Joe speaks.
“Hello, Jon. I hope you’ll forgive me, I’m not there at Collision this week, but it’s only because I’m paying you respect by being here in my gym, preparing for what I’ll do to you in a few short weeks. What that is, Jon, is helping you understand. I’m gonna help you understand what happens when you call a man like me out. And you’re going to understand that what you have done to Hook and Shibata is going to be visited upon your man, Claudio, next week. And that all starts with me understanding a little bit about you, Jon. See, I understand that you have the ruthless streak that is required to take on someone like me.
“I understand that you have the ability and the will to come after someone like me. But you see, Jon, I had to put this match in a cage. Cuz there’s something else that I understand about you. The Jon Moxley I look at today doesn’t have the heart to stand in front of me. The Jon Moxley I see today doesn’t have the balls to get into a ring and get into an actual firefight with a man like me. And Jon, come Chicago, at Beach Break, I will break you. And when you turn around to run, with nowhere to go, I am Samoa Joe. I will be the next AEW World Champion. And Jon Moxley, I will make you understand.”

Marina gives one guy the briefcase, just to then BOOT him down! Marina storms into the ring and intimidates Arkady Aura to give the mic over. Arkady does as told and then gets out of the ring. Marina hands the mic to Moxley and Moxley snarls while the fans boo. Moxley paces, and he tells Samoa Joe, “I heard what you said. Lemme ask you a question. What exactly is it I don’t understand? Just what the hell is it, Joe, that I don’t understand?”
The fans chant for Joe, and sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Moxley asks how Joe is gonna explain something to him inside a steel cage. What? Is Joe gonna kick his ass? The fans chant “YES!” So Joe is gonna beat Moxley up? “YES!” Oh, is that what they think? “YES!” Right… Moxley has faced all the supposed baddest men in the business, all shaped and sizes, all organizations and in all countries. Just name one. They all said the same thing as you’re saying, Joe! They were thinking the same things Joe is thinking, until they weren’t! Moxley knows the moment it happens, he can feel it when it happens! Every time!
He feels it every time when they realize they don’t wanna be here anymore. When they stop trying to win and they start trying to survive, and then realize they aren’t in a chess match, but they are in a war! The only difference this time, Joe, on May 14th, it will be both. Joe wants to target his people? Moxley expected nothing less. You think Moxley doesn’t wanna get into a real firefight? Newsflash, brother: Just look at your brothers; it’s been a firefight this whole time. Moxley then drops the mic and storms out the way he came in. Will Moxley step into Chicago and step out of Chicago still the AEW World Champion?
Backstage interview with The Outrunners.
Lexy Nair is with Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum with their 1980s standard definition, and brings up how Roppongi Vice got in their faces and then beat them up. She understands they have a response to that. Truth says yeah, he’s got something to say! Trent, Rocky, Truth gets you’re upset! He gets you feel disrespected. But maybe the Outrunners get a little loud sometimes. So what? Maybe they flex a little too much. So what? Maybe they spin a little too fast. So what?! Turbo says if Rocky & Trent wanna get physical, let’s get physical! They’ll settle this where it counts! When you’re face to face with The Outrunners, some are scared to death! But some are scared to live!
Truth & Turbo shake it out, will the Youngest Men Alive show Azucar & #JustTrent what respect is really about?

The Walking Weapon and the newest member of the Don Callis Family scored big alongside Konosuke Takeshita a couple weeks ago, and they beat down The King of Death to do it.

CRU speaks.
Lio Rush says, “It was inevitable that the story ended with the way that it did.” Action Andretti adds, “With Top Flight landing flat on their faces.” They’re not in AEW to waste time. And any more time spent on Darius & Dante is a waste of time. They tried to walk away, drift off into the sunset, but “you two children couldn’t handle being without us.” Top Flight couldn’t stand being in the rearview mirror. CRU hopes Top Flight will learn a lesson. And that lesson is you should #FearCRU. Either you’re CRU, or you’re enemy.
Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Platinum Max is in the ring again, and he tells Atlantic City, “You are lookin’ live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that clearly false statement, but Caster says, “You people just witnessed a 15 minute time limit draw. And that got me thinking. No one in AEW could survive FIVE minutes in the ring with Platinum Max!” The fans boo but Caster says let’s put five minutes on the clock! The tech guys oblige, and Caster says before his next “victim” comes out here, he wants the people here in AC to prove that they’re not just a bunch of drunk, degenerate tourists! He wants them to do the chant correctly!
“Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster is already laughing at how “bad” the fans are doing. That was not full participation, please do better. But let’s get to business! Who can survive FIVE with the Best Wrestler Alive? It’s DANIEL GARCIA! Caster is furious, but will Platinum Max be lucky to survive Red Death?

Backstage interview with with Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn.
Lexy is with the Pride of Professional Wrestling & Daddy Ass, and Bowens wants her to remember he is also the 5 Tool Player, the perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, “The Look” and “The It Factor.” Bowens is here in his home state of New Jersey to tell us all that he intends to use all five tools to climb to a championship opportunity. Doesn’t that sound great? But then in steps Blake Christian & Lee Johnson. Vanilla Babyface tells Bowens all he is hearing right now is blah blah blah. Let’s be real: Bowens may have won against Blake three weeks ago, but those people weren’t talking about Bowens beating Blake.
The talk was about Bowens being outshined by Blake! Big Shotty says Bowens needs to listen because he means this with all the disrespect in the world. Johnson believes he is 150% better! After watching Blake soften Bowens up, Johnson knows how to put Bowens down. Bowens says wow, outshined him? That’s not possible. And 150% better? Well, then step up to the plate and get MOLLY WHOPPED by the 5 Tool Player! Any time, anywhere. Blake & Lee leave, when and where will Big Shotty take his shot?
The Gates of Agony VS Ray Chas & Goldie!
The Hurt Syndicate claimed we’d see Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona way down the line after they lost in the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. But the Cameroonian Prince says there are things much worse than death. They took a bite of the baddest apple on the tree, and the Samoan Lion says it made them SICK! Compared to that, only agony awaits! This is a message sent to Big Bill & Bryan Keith, will it be received loud and clear?
The teams sort out, Kaun starts against Ray, and the two step up. Kaun then BOOTS Ray, GERMAN SUPLEXES him, then reels him in. RUNNING SUPLEX! Kaun mockingly applauds, then he puts Ray in the corner to CHOP! Tag to Liona, and Kaun bumps Ray off buckles for Liona to then BACK ELBOW! Goldie SLAPS Kaun, but Kaun grins. Kaun TOSSES Goldie in, Liona runs up and POUNCES him out of the ring! The fans fire up and Liona tags Kaun. Then the Gates run up, HIP ATTACK followed by a METEORA! Then they CLOSE THE GATES on Ray!! Cover, Gates win!
Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall
The CRU is watching ringside, acting unimpressed. But will Kaun & Liona make sure Lio & Action are next after Bill & Keith? But speaking of, Bill calls them out from the tron! Last week, Bill & Keith called them out. They’re in the parking lot. They don’t come to you, you come to them! Kaun & Liona say bet! The Gates leave the ring, go to the back, and find their way to the parking lot! Will we get quite the battle of titans in Atlantic City?
AEW returns and…
The Gates have found the Redwood & Bad Apple! The brawl is on right in front of the Mack trucks! Bill SMACKS Liona off one, but Kaun THROWS Keith into fencing! Bill BOOTS Kaun, kicks more fencing out of the way, then he picks up a swivel chair! Bill SLAMS the chair, but Kaun avoids disaster! Liona SMACKS Bill with a trash can lid! Bill grabs some poor passerby by the face, and THROWS him at Liona! Liona catches the guy, throws him aside, and then he stares Bill down. Only for Keith to jump on Liona with a SLEEPER! Kaun is up and he ROCKS Bill! Liona spins around to swing Keith off him and into a truck!
Bill and Kaun brawl, Liona runs up, but Keith avoids the trash can attack! This brawl is gonna keep going, but the show must go on, too! Will security be able to stop this carnage before it goes too far?

Dax is caught, Stoke coaches Dax to tap, so Dax taps! Paragon has the first fall!
FTR: 0; Paragon: 1
Big Stoke says that’s the smart move, because there’s still two falls to win anyway. Stoke has FTR regroup, but can the Top Guys pull off the comeback? Collision goes picture in picture.
Stokely argues with fans, and then Dax grabs a chair! Dax throws the chair into the ring, the ref catches it and puts it aside, and he tells them to get in here, the second fall has already begun. The ref starts a ring count but Stokely has FTR settle down first. Dax takes his time before stepping inside. Stokely & FTR huddle up to talk strategy, and Dax starts with Kyle.

Stokely cheers as he makes all the difference! Will the Top Guys continue to win by any means necessary until they’re back on top of AEW? WAIT! Daniel Garcia storms his way out here! He has a mic and a crowbar, but which one is he gonna use?! Stoke has Garcia hold on, the ref tells Garcia to stand down, but Garcia says what he really wanted to do is come down and beat all three of them over the head with the crowbar. “But I can’t. Because I have too much love for the both of you. And I thought you two had a lot of love for me, too. Because any time that one of my so-called mentors left me high and dry, left me stranded, you guys were there to pick up the pieces and put me back on my feet.”
The fans rally for Garcia, and Garcia says after what FTR did to Adam Copeland and 2Point0, and then after they tried to break Garcia’s neck, Garcia was left looking for answers. But Garcia realized that he won’t get those answers just standing around having a therapy session with them. The fans say use the crowbar then! Garcia says he has an idea. Next week, it doesn’t matter if it is Dax, Cash, Stokely, all of them, fifteen of them, a hundred of them, FTR, CPR, the ER, it doesn’t matter! Just meet him in the ring so he can beat the answers out of them!! The fans fire up for that! Who will accept this challenge from an enraged Red Death?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, but wow, six years and they haven’t learned how to not be redundant. While Moxley and Samoa Joe had good promos, Moxley having two promos is stupid. Skip the video one Moxley did backstage and just give us Moxley responding in anger to what Joe had to say. Same effect, but much more efficient. To be fair, I feel like a good number of this night was thrown together last minute. Because hey look, another match with “prize money” on the line when we know that’s kayfabe. It was still an awesome match from all four guys, with Hologram watching a la Sting and Darby, but what’s the point of a fake money prize? Sammy calls out Adam Cole here, why not make it some kind of TNT Championship #1 contender’s match?
Very good match from Storm VS Frost and a very good promo from Storm, and while we know Mercedes Mone VS Jamie Hayter is set, this feels like someone is going to challenge Storm for Double or Nothing in an attempt to change the All In: Texas plans. The wildest thing they could do is make it Athena as her way of getting to the All In card. They could even make it title for title because it’s Double or Nothing, and the winner brings both those titles to facing Mercedes Mone, and they have ALL the titles on the line because it’s All In! But because it’s that wild, they won’t do it. And to be fair, they really shouldn’t because then who would ever get a belt off the “Ultima Dragon” they create?
Megan of course beats Harley, but I appreciate that it led to Anna Jay making the save. Anna and Harley can certainly make a great team to battle Megan & Ford, but I feel like Megan & Ford win mostly because of Megan. Awesome match from Alexander VS Brody, and I really like that on the same day Konosuke and El Phantasmo have a 15 minute time limit draw in NJPW, Alexander and Brody have one here in AEW. Archer getting involved was also good stuff, but there’s no word on when Buddy Matthews is getting back so I’m not sure the chances of Hounds of Hell VS Don Callis Family.
But after that good promo from the Outrunners, I bet we get them and Brody working together as rather strange bedfellows. Very good stuff with Gates of Agony. They of course squashed their opponents tonight, but I like that we got a brawl of them and the former Learning Tree. Though, the brawl could’ve been a bit better, but I understand how no one wanted to fall on that hard concrete of the parking lot. I’m pretty sure we’ll get a tag match now, helping reestablish both teams in the tag division. But while CRU had a good promo to say they’re done with Top Flight, they’re like chihuahuas barking a big game thinking they can go against Kaun & Liona in a fair fight.
Caster adding a time limit to his Open Challenge was hilarious, since it added to how humiliating it was for Caster to lose fast. And Garcia answering the challenge also helped tie into tonight’s main event with FTR. Which also seemed rather out of nowhere, but it did make sense in story for FTR to go 2 outta 3 with Kyle & Roddy. Great main event with that, and I actually like Stokely’s strategy of forgoing the first fall to avoid any further damage. As such, FTR of course pulled off the comeback to win out, allowing Garcia to confront them. Thankfully, Garcia didn’t side with FTR, I had feared they’d do a lame bit of logic leaping. Garcia against either Dax or Cash will be a great singles match, and I feel like Cope will make some sort of heroic return so Garcia can have a tag partner to face FTR at Double or Nothing. Then Garcia turns.
My Score: 8.7/10

8 Man Tag: Kenny Omega, Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight VS Ricochet, Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks!
The Cleaner is back and he’s ready to clean up the mess The Elite have made. The Sussex County Chicken, Speedball & Jet are with him, but will they stand tall? Or will The One & Only join The Rainmaker & The EVPs in throwing a Superkick Party?
The teams sort out and the fans fire up as Omega and Okada are right in each other’s face! The ref has the teams calm down but the fans are already losing their minds! The bell rings, and we get not only AEW International Champion VS AEW Continental Champion, but the revival of perhaps the greatest rivalry in NJPW history. Maybe even in world history! Okada and Omega circle as the fans fire up even more. Norfolk is on Omega’s side and Okada is annoyed. Okada tags out to Nicholas Jackson and the fans boo. Omega says that’s fine, he wants after one of his old pals. But Nick calls out Speedball, so Omega says okay.
Omega turns, but then Ricochet & The Elite all attack! The fans boo as they BLAST Omega’s team off the corner, then they stomp away on Omega! The ref reprimands but The Elite & Ricochet soak up the heat. Nick CLUBS Omega, drags him up, but Omega CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” and Omega wrenches Nick for a wristlock. But Nick pokes Omega in the eye! Nick knuckle locks, CHPOS, then goes up, up, and shouts “LUCHA LIBRE~!” before the FLYING ARM-DRAG! Omega is up, but Nick arm-drags again, then has the armlock. Omega fights up but Nick wrenches and YANKS the arm! Nick hands the arm to Matt for ELBOW BREAKER after ELBOW BREAKER!
The fans boo, but Okada tags in and he wrenches Omega’s arm to CLUB it! And YANK it! The fans rally for Omega but Okada hands him off to Matt again, for MORE ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada wrenches Omega, tags Ricochet in, and Ricochet goes up to DOUBLE STOMP Omega’s arm! Ricochet wrenches the arm, gives an ELBOW BREAKER of his own, then he brings Matt over for even MORE ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada says one more time! Ricochet agrees, but Omega wrenches Ricochet’s arm! Ricochet fights and flails, Omega hands Ricochet off to Matt for ELBOW BREAKERS! Okada and Nick tell Matt to stop, that’s not Omega!
Matt slows to a stop, and then reaches up to touch Ricochet’s head. Being bald confirms it, that’s not Kenny! Ricochet argues with Matt, then pushes him! Matt SLAPS Ricochet on his bald head!

The Polar Express is on two tracks now, another NORTHERN LIGHTS for Knight while Ricochet hits a BRAINBUSTER on Bailey!

MVP JAMS the one guy with his walking stick, then Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley beat down the rest! One guy gets dumped into a laundry basket! The AEW World Tag Team Champions pick up their title belts, and MVP says that first guy broke his cane. But hey, let’s address the elephant in the room. Lashley smirks and Shelton says hey, he was skeptical about MJF, too. But this isn’t about them trusting MJF. This is about them trusting MVP.
Shelton says c’mon, Lashley, he has to admit MJF is also funny, and that he liked that car. Lashley says he can buy his own cars. MVP says of course, of course. But this is what this is about: MJF can help The Hurt Syndicate. Has MVP ever steered them wrong before? And… If MJF screws them, then they will hurt him like he’s never been hurt before. Alright? They fist bump, and MVP says alright, time to get some work done. Will this finally be the night the All Mighty accepts the Scumbag?

Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs not only took the AEW World Trios Championships from the Death Riders, but they put the Death Riders and all of AEW on notice. The Opps are #NeverLacking, but how much more powerful will they become?

Moxley bails out, Joe pursues, and Joe fires hands! Joe has the COQUINA CLUTCH!! Moxley sputters, waves to his people, but that’s a signal to Claudio!
Claudio has a chair set up upside-down! He reels Shibata in, and Joe sees that! Joe lets Moxley go, but he can’t make it back in time! FULL METAL NEUTRALIZER onto the chair legs!! The same thing that did Hook in! Joe is furious but The Death Riders retreat, having done the damage. Moxley grins, but Joe grabs himself a mic. “MOX!!” The Death Riders leave, not caring what Joe has to say. Joe says fine. It seems to him that Moxley likes to come out here and ask like he’s the boss. But when they start throwing hands, Moxley’s just a little b*tch! Joe tells Moxley that he came out here weeks ago and begged for Joe 1v1! All Joe is trying to do is give Moxley what he wants.
Unfortunately, it just seems like Moxley doesn’t really want that… But Jon… You’ve already made your request! And Joe says he’ll give the people what they want, and that is very simple! If Joe is gonna fight Moxley for the AEW World Championship… Then that cowardly SOB Moxley will have to do it inside a steel cage! The fans fire up for that one! “Because my name is Samoa Joe, and I will be your next AEW World Champion!” Joe has raised the stakes on The Maniac, will there be no surviving Beach Break for the Death Riders?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee Paquette has a sit-down interview with The CEO and thanks her for taking this time. Mone thanks Renee for having her. Renee says in preparing for this, she thought back to the first time they did this in AEW. Something Renee kept coming back to is how Mone says she is a global superstar on a global mission. Yes, and one year later, she is a global champion! NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Champion, and of course, the GREATEST AEW TBS Champion of all time. Renee says let’s talk the Owen Hart Tournament. The finals are set for Double or Nothing: Mone VS Hayter. The winner goes to All In: Texas!
Mone says she could go on and on about honoring the legacy of Owen Hart and the Hart Family. The Harts have a special place in Mone’s heart, but let’s be real. This isn’t about them, this is about Mone! Just over a year ago, Mone won her first AEW title at Double or Nothing, so what makes you think this year will be any different? Renee says okay, let’s talk Jamie Hayter. A former AEW Women’s World Champion, 11-2 on the year, and even that aside, just look at the tale of the tape. Physically, Hayter is bigger and stronger. Is Mone underestimating Hayter? No, of course not. But Mone has been in AEW for over a year, and what is she? UNDEFEATED!
So if we’re talking records, let’s talk about that. Renee says yes, true, 25-0 in singles competition, impressive indeed. Yes, it is! Mone has beaten the very best here in AEW, and even all over the world. Mone IS the best! Mone IS the greatest! She is #FourBeltsMone, and the world runs on Mone Time! Because every time Mone steps into the ring, she changes the game! And she has to give props where it is due, Hayter is really, really good. Tough, scrappy, and reminds Mone a bit of herself. Except for the terrible Scooby Doo style! Hayter wants to be a champion, but a champion can’t look like a friggin’ cartoon.
Renee says Double or Nothing is not one to miss. She wishes Mone luck and Mone just smiles. Will The CEO add the Queen of Harts belt to her collection? Or will she learn that no matter how Jamie looks, Hayter Hits Hard?
Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.
AEW returns as Renee is now with Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Mother Shayna & the ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne. Renee says Nick is headed to Japan next week to enter the Best of the Super Juniors. What does it mean to him to be part of that tournament representing AEW in NJPW? Christian speaks up to say as The Patriarch and leader of this family, he prefers all questions being directed to… Jay Lethal steps in? What can Christian do for him? Lethal says actually, there’s nothing Christian can do. Because he is here to talk to the champ. Lethal knows it is no secret that many people here believe Nick is incredible in the ring, because he is.
But Nick is also young and has a lot to learn. In fact, he has a lot to prove. So how about Nick proves something tonight? The longest reigning ROH World TV Champion, Jay Lethal, and the youngest ROH World TV Champion, Nick Wayne, 1v1! Nick says he doesn’t know. He isn’t really warmed up or prepared. He was hoping to focus on BOSJ. Christian says, “He accepts!” Lethal says, “See you out there, champ.” Lethal heads out, and Christian says if Nick wants to be a champion, then he needs to get his head in the game. The Patriarchy leaves with Captain Charisma, will Nick have no choice but to prove something to Lethal and “Father Christian?”
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Miyu Yamashita!
While Double or Nothing puts the Owen Hart Cup on the line, The Timeless Champion is still looking for someone worthy of being her “costar.” Will the Pink Striker soon go for AEW gold? Or will she not pass her “screen test” with Toni?
The bell rings and the fans rally up for Toni. Toni offers a handshake, Miyu accepts, and the fans applaud the sportsmanship. The two circle, tie up, and go around. Miyu waistlocks, Toni headlocks, but Miyu wrenches free to wristlock then headlock. The fans sing for “Toni! Toni Storm~!” as she powers Miyu down to a knee. Toni slips out the back, wrenches, then wristlocks. Miyu rolls, wrenches, and then KICKS a leg! And KICKS! KICKS! KICKS! Toni hobbles but she has the ROPEBREAK! Miyu lets go, but then she KNEES low! Miyu whips but Toni hits a THESZ PRESS! Toni rains down fast hands and the fans fire up!
Miyu guards, the ref reprimands about closed fists, but Toni lets off to fire up with the fans. Toni drags Miyu up, scoops her, and hits a BACKBREAKER! Toni drags Miyu up and snap suplexes her! Then Toni goes to a corner, climbs up, and the fans rally. Miyu springs up to ROUNDHOUSE! Toni flops to the apron then the floor, and Miyu fires herself up. The fans rally with her and she goes to the apron. PENALTY- NO, Toni blocks the kick and trips Miyu! Miyu hits the apron, Toni climbs up and gives us a closeup. But Miyu avoids the hip attack! Toni gets stuck in the corner, and Miyu takes aim! The fans fire up as Miyu literally kicks Toni’s butt!
Miyu KICKS Toni’s butt again and again and again! Luther protests and Miyu backs off. Luther makes sure Toni’s butt is okay, but then Miyu KICKS Luther! The fans are torn as Miyu CLOBBERS Luther, then she ROUNDHOUSES Toni’s butt! Toni falls off the corner and Miyu soaks up both cheers and jeers while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Miyu drags Toni up, then whips her hard into barriers! Toni hobbles away but Miyu pursues. Miyu fires the fans up before she runs up and KNEES Toni against railing! Miyu then brings Toni around with a headlock, and she KICKS Toni against barriers! And again, and again, and again! Miyu fires up, but Toni THRWOS her into barriers to CHOP! CHPO! And CHOP! Toni brings Miyu around, but Miyu puts Toni in the ring first. Miyu storms in, stands Toni up, and fireman’s carries, only for Toni to fight free and clamp on a SLEEPER! Miyu flails, wrenches free and THROWS Toni down! Then she BUZZSAWS Toni! Toni sputters, Miyu covers, TWO!
Toni stays in this but Miyu stays cool as she stays on Toni. Miyu stands Toni up again but Toni ROCKS Miyu! And CHOPS! Miyu fires up to BODY BLOW! Miyu wrenches and whips Toni to a corner, then runs up for a KNEE! Miyu brings Toni around, goes up and up and GAMANGIRIS! Miyu fires up and the fans seem torn. Miyu drags Toni into a COBRA CLUTCH, then throws KNEE after KNEE into Toni’s back! Toni stands up but Miyu KNEES and SAYANAGIS, while keeping the COBRA CLUTCH! Toni endures, Luther rallies the fans, and Toni fights around. Miyu pushes Toni to a cover, TWO! Another cover, TWO!
Miyu holds onto the submission even as she pushes Toni down, TWO! Toni fights up, fires body shots, but Miyu KNEES her in return! Dynamite returns to single picture as Miyu looms over Toni. Miyu stands Toni up again, whips her to a corner, and then KICKS! Miyu goes up the corner again, but Toni avoids the kick this time! Toni runs up to ROCK Miyu! Miyu shakes that off and ROCKS Toni! Toni ROCKS Miyu! The forearms go back and forth and Norfolk fires up! Toni fires a flurry and the fans cheer! But Miyu leans into the shots! Miyu backs Toni down like that! Toni swings again, but Miyu slips around to waistlock.
Toni ELBOWS free, but Miyu BLINDSIDE ROUNDHOUSES! And SUPERKICKS! And then ROUND- NO, Toni blocks that one to SNAP GERMAN! The fans fire up and Toni aims from the corner. Another closeup and SWEET- SKULL KICK!! Miyu hits Toni, but she falls back herself! Miyu crawls over to cover, TWO!! Toni survives, but Miyu will not let her go! Miyu drags Toni up, goes to run, but Toni reels her in! Miyu smirks, and she swings, only for Toni to duck and SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO! Miyu survives but Toni hooks a leg, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect and Toni is frustrated.
Toni storms around and the fans rally up. Toni brings Miyu in, Miyu fights the lift, and Miyu fireman’s carries! DEATH VALLEY BOMB!! But Miyu isn’t done, she BUZZSAWS again! Miyu fires up and runs, but Toni dodges! SNAP GERMAN!! Miyu flounders to a corner, Toni tries one more time! Take three for this closeup! SWEET HIP MUSIC!! Then STORM ZERO!! Cover, Toni wins!
Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall (denies Miyu a title match)
Cut, print, that’s a wrap! Toni is an undefeated 10-0 in eliminator matches, but wait! The CEO is make her way out here. Mone shows off her four belts, and then has a mic to say, “Norfooooolk~! Shut the Hell up and say hello to your C E O!” The fans boo instead. But Mone tells, “Toni, darling, good to see you. After I beat Jamie Hayter at Double or Nothing and win the Owen Cup, I’m coming for what I deserve: The AEW Women’s World Championship, darling~!” But wait! Speaking of the Hayter and she appears! Hayter tells Mone to say that to her face! Mone takes a swing instead! But Hayter blocks that, and DECKS Mone!
Hayter hauls Mone up, but Mone dodges the Hayterade! Mone runs away and Toni is rather surprised. Mone left her belts behind, but will she still grab the Cup? Or will we finally get a sequel to Storm VS Hayter at All In: Texas?
The Don Callis Family speaks.
Don Callis himself asks, “You know what I like? I like writing history. I like making history. And last week on Dynamite, Takeshita & the Canadian Assassin, Josh Alexander, they made history! They had one of the greatest tag team matches I’ve ever seen, and they put down Will Ospreay and the great Brody King. I loved it. I loved it so much, I wanna make history again this week with The Family. And this week, we’re going to, because Kyle Fletcher is going to dismantle The Hangman. And then, Kyle, it’s on to Double or Nothing for the Finals of The Owen, where you will finally put to rest the legend of Will Ospreay. And I can’t wait! Go get ’em tonight, kid.”
Kyle Fletcher says, “After I beat Hangman Adam Page tonight, after I beat Will Ospreay at Double or Nothing, I go on to All In, I TAKE the AEW World Championship. The Don Callis Family takes its place at the top of the mountain of AEW. You will have NO choice but to say… my… full… name.” Callis says he’ll do it. “Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, Kyle FLETCHER!!” Callis is all fired up while Fletcher is locked in. Will the Aussie Arrow shoot down the Cowboy to then aim at the Aerial Assassin? Or will one Buckshot be all it takes to go Double or Nothing?
The Hurt Syndicate heads to the ring.
The fans sing “We Hurt~ People!” and at least they won’t get beat up for it as MVP, Lashley & Shelton go to the ring. MVP has the mic to say, “Attention AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. Now, as you know, we’ve been discussing adding a fourth member to our ranks. And according to our corporate bylaws, in order to do so, that prospect must receive a unanimous three thumbs up. Now, I had a conversation with the Standard of Excellence, and of course The All Mighty, and we’re gonna try this one more time. So please join me in inviting MJF to join us in the ring.”
Norfolk cheers as Maxwell Jacob Friedman makes his entrance. MJF already has a mic of his own, and he has them cut his music. The fans cheer MJF on and MVP says this is kinda to his point. MJF tells the fans, give it up for Shelton! Look how great he looks! Like c’mon! Standard of Excellence! Montel, what can MJF say that he hasn’t already said? A living legend, and one of MJF’s oldest friends. The fans chant for MVP, and then MJF looks to “Bob.” Lashley is annoyed that the fans chant for “BOB! BOB! BOB!” MJF asks if Lashley had a good car ride here. MVP says let’s just get to the vote already.
We all know MVP’s position, and remember the discussion. MVP says thumbs up. Shelton again says thumbs up. Lashley… Well, he thinks about it, looks to the others, and sticks out his hand. The fans cheer and MJF waits patiently as Lashley still thinks on it. Eventually, he says thumbs… DOWN!! MJF frowns and the fans boo, but Lashley just doesn’t wanna give in. MJF says, “Y’know what, Bob? I think I’m about sick of your s*it!” WHOA~! MJF asks what is it Lashley wants. MJF has given him women, helped him win a match, gave him money and a car. What intrigues Lashley? Maybe some Rogaine, “you big bald SOB!”
The fans fire up hearing that, and now MVP steps back. Lashley grabs MJF by the head and puts him in a corner! MJF shouts for MVP but Lashley reminds MJF that they hurt people! If MJF wants to impress Lashley, then go hurt someone. MJF says okay, okay, he’s sorry! Lashley’s made his point, MJF will do that! MVP has Lashley stand down and MJF can breathe again. MVP has Lashley & Shelton leave MJF behind, and can only tell MJF that he tried. MJF has to prove what he’s capable of, who will he hurt as part of his initiation?
ROH World Television Championship: Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy VS Jay Lethal!
The Patriarchy’s Prodigy was given his shot thanks to, well, The Patriarch. And while Nick won it on his own, Christian acts like he owns part of that title. As such, Christian put Nick in this position to face one of if not THE best ROH World TV Champion ever. Will Lethal ruin Nick’s momentum going into NJPW Best of the Super Juniors? Or can Nick prove he doesn’t need “Daddy” helping him anymore?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really championship material!
The Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick kicks Lethal’s hand away. The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. Lethal headlocks for the takeover, Nick headscissors but Lethal kips free. Nick hits the headlock takeover, Lethal headscissors, but Nick kips free. Another headlock takeover from Lethal and another headscissors from Nick, so Lethal kips free again. Another takeover from Nick and another headscissors from Lethal, so Nick kips free again. Nick bails out to stop the cycle, and Christian coaches him up. The fans rally as Nick storms up the steel steps. Lethal opens the ropes for Nick, but Nick chooses to enter from the other end.
Nick and Lethal circle, approach, and Nick kicks low! Nick ROCKS Lethal, CHOPS him, then the fans chant for “NICK’S MOM! NICK’S MOM!” Kip tells them to stop that, but Lethal puts Nick in the corner to stomp and CHOP! Lethal blows a kiss to Mama Wayne, but Nick CHOPS back! Lethal turns things around to CHOP again! Nick sputters and staggers and Christian swipes at Lethal. The ref has The Patriarchy back off, but then Nick kicks Lethal low. Nick whips Lethal to a corner, Lethal reverses, but Nick goes up, only for Lethal to stay back! Nick is confused, turns around, and Lethal arm-drags him!
The fans fire up as Lethal arm-drags again! Lethal then dodges Nick to waistlock. Nick fights, Lethal shoves him, hip toss and cartwheel, basement DROPKICK! The fans fire up for Lethal and he lines up his shot. But then Nick bails out, so Lethal changes his plans. Lethal DIVES and takes Nick down at the ramp! Lethal hurries after Nick, but Nick springs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Christian tells Nick to get up. Nick rises as the ring count climbs. Nick hurries into the ring just to refresh the count. Nick goes back for Lethal, and RAMS him into the steel steps! Lethal writhes and Nick soaks up the heat while Dynamite goes to break.
Dynamite returns and Nick whips Lethal corner to corner hard! Lethal drops to his knees, Nick soaks up heat, but Christian wants Nick to keep on him. Nick again whips Lethal hard corner to corner! Lethal falls to his knees, Christian nods, and Nick whips corner to corner again. Lethal stops himself short, then ELBOWS Nick away! The fans fire up, Lethal rolls Nick up, TWO! Lethal turns Nick to backslide, TWO! Lethal steps over, LA MAGISTROL! TWO!! Nick escapes, swings, but into the LETHAL COMBINATION! The fans fire up while Christian worries and Lethal covers, TWO! Nick survives but the fans rally for Lethal.
Lethal rises, calls his shot, and Lethal goes up a corner. Nick rises to trip Lethal up! Lethal CLUBS Nick in return, but Nick ROCKS Lethal! Nick climbs up, brings Lethal to the top, but Lethal fights with body shots! Lethal DECKS Nick, then takes aim again! The fans fire up for the MACHO ELBOW! But Nick rolls it into a cover! TWO!! Lethal is up, he blocks a kick to DRAGON SCREW! And then a “WOO~” and FIGURE- NO, Nick cradles Lethal, TWO! Lethal dodges, handsprings, but Nick rolls Lethal up! TWO!! Lethal escapes, fireman’s carries, but Nick CLAWS the eyes! Lethal runs up, Nick trips him into the buckles!
Nick runs up to ROUNDHOUSE! Nick then hooks and hoists Lethal up with the PRODIGY PLEX!! Cover, NICK WINS!
Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)
With the family watching, Nick gets the job done all on his own! But then Christian brings in the belt, and again holds onto it as if it is his. Christian then has Nick turn around, and Christian puts the belt on Nick. The fans boo this backhanded way of complimenting his “son,” but will Nick make the Patriarchy even prouder through the BOSJ?
BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!
With that special event just weeks away, Tony Khan has agreed with Samoa Joe’s idea! Samoa Joe and Jon Moxley will now battle for the AEW World Championship inside the steel cage!! Will Moxley even survive with his Death Riders locked on the outside?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Live this Saturday but on TBS, Collision is in Atlantic City, so Toni Storm is gonna roll the dice! She gives Lady Frost a Championship Eliminator, will Frost have Lady Luck on her side? Or will Toin heat things up as we get closer and closer to Double or Nothing? Then given what Callis had to say about him, Brody King is coming back for revenge! Will the King of Death destroy Callis’ Canadian Assassin? Or will Josh Alexander prove he is a Walking Weapon?
2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Semifinals: Hangman Page VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!
The Cowboy is no stranger to this position. He was a finalist in last year’s Owen Hart Cup, only to fall short because of his many distractions and obsessions. But will Hangman return to the finals and redeem himself? Or will we get Ospreay VS Fletcher once more?
The bell rings and the two run up to tie up! They go around, Kyle puts Hangman in a corner, but the ref counts. Kyle pie faces Hangman as he lets go, and Callis joins commentary. Callis brings up the saying, “Virginia is for lovers,” but he’s gonna love seeing Hangman be exposed by Kyle tonight. Kyle wrenches Hangman’s arm, wristlocks, then cranks on the hold. Hangman rolls, slips through and wrenches to hammerlock, snapmare, and then CHOP! Kyle staggers back and the fans fire up! Hangman stares daggers at Kyle but Kyle bails out. Kyle walks off that shot while soaking up heat from the fans. The ring count climbs and Hangman paces.
The fans rally for #CowboyS*it, but Kyle storms back to the ring at 7 of 10. Kyle steps in, he and Hangman circle, then Kyle slips around to waistock. Hangman wrenches, hammerlocks, but Kyle works on an escape. Kyle ELBOWS free, then headlocks. Hangman powers up and out, but Kyle pulls hair to have the headlock again! The ref reprimands and the fans boo but Kyle just grins. Kyle grinds the hold, Hangman powers up, but Kyle wrenches Hangman to wrangle him down. Kyle has a hammerlock, and he says, “Cowboy S*it? More like ride ’em, cowboy~!” Kyle pretends he’s at the rodeo, but Hangman slips out the back to trip Kyle up!
Hangman SPANKS Kyle and Kyle is stunned! Hangman then ROCKS Kyle, ROCKS him again, and then bumps him off buckles. Hangman fires haymakers in the corner, the fans count along, but the ref also counts. Hangman gets seven as the ref goes to 4, but then Kyle kicks low! Kyle headlocks but Hangman powers up and out. Kyle rolls over the dropdown, Hangman handsprings back up, and then Hangman BOOTS Kyle right in the face! Hangman goes right to the apron, but Kyle bails out fast! Archer & Callis applaud the quick thinking, but Hangman suddenly runs in and LARIATS Kyle into the timekeeper’s area!
The fans fire up for Hangman and he revels in it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Hangman refreshes the ring count, then storms into the timekeeper’s area to fetch Kyle. The ref has Archer stay back while Hangman drags Kyle up. Hangman then whips Kyle hard into barriers! Kyle falls in a heap, Hangman talks trash on Callis & Archer, then Hangman goes back to Kyle. Hangman again refreshes the ring count, then he stands Kyle up to whip him hard into railing! Kyle falls over again but Hangman drags him back up. Hangman puts Kyle in the ring, storms in after him, but Kyle bails out the other side. Hangman is annoyed but Kyle goes to Archer & Calls. Callis coaches Kyle up but Hangman storms over. Kyle SUPERKICKS Hangman down!
Archer applauds, and we see Kyle has a bloody cut on his lower back, and that’s quite literal. Kyle still hobbles over to Hangman, stands him up, and whips him hard into barriers! Now Hangman slumps down and takes a seat. Kyle leaves Hangman behind, but Hangman drags himself into the ring. Kyle runs up and BOOTS Hangman into the corner! Kyle stomps Hangman down, then stomps again and again! The ref counts, Kyle stops at 4, but he sneaks some kicks in there. Kyle then notices the blood on his back. Hangman stands to CHOP! CHOP! And CHOP! Hangman runs, but Kyle hits a kitchen sink knee!
Kyle rains down fists and elbows, then stops to seethe. Dynamite returns to single picture and the fans rally for Hangman. Kyle double checks his bloody back, and then tastes his own blood! The fans tell Kyle he’s sick, and Kyle goes back to Hangman. Kyle stands Hangman up to scoop and SLAM! Hangman writhes but Kyle aims. Kyle KICKS Hangman, but Hangman just seethes. Kyle says okay, and he KICKS again! Kyle scuffs Hangman, KICKS, but Hangman blocks! Kyle fires hands but Hangman fires them in return! Hangman whips, Kyle reverses to break and BOOT! Kyle runs, but Hangman BOOTS him!
Kyle rebounds, into an Alabama Lift! Kyle sunset flips, high stacks, TWO and Kyle deadlifts Hangman! Hangman slips free, dodges, but then Kyle dodges, only for a LARIAT to flip Kyle upside-down! The fans fires up for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” while Kyle sputters and Hangman catches his breath. Both men rise up, and Kyle ROCKS Hangman! Hangman frowns, and he ROCKS Kyle! And ROCKS him again, again, and again! Hangman whips Kyle to ropes, then BACKDROPS him! The fans fire up for that serious hangtime, and Kyle goes to a corner. Hangman runs in and LARIATS! Snapmare and SLIDING LARIAT!
Hangman slashes his throat and brings Kyle back up! Fireman’s carry, but Kyle fires elbows! Kyle half nelsons, Hangman elbows free, then Hangman runs, but Kyle leaps! Only for Hangman to catch him! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives and Hangman snarls, but the fans rally up again. Kyle sputters and goes to a corner, but Hangman storms right up on him. Hangman winds up and LARIATS! And LARIATS! And LARIATS again! And again! Again, and again, and again! Hangman winds up after nine for number TEN!! Kyle slumps down and Hangman seethes while the fans fire back up.
Hangman stands Kyle up, whips him corner to corner, then runs up, only for Kyle to go up and over! Kyle comes back but Hangman catches him! FALL AWAY SLAM! Kyle flounders away to the apron, Callis is worried, and Hangman kips up! Hangman then runs to triangle jump LARIAT! Down goes Kyle and Callis is even more worried. Hangman climbs the corner, the fans fire up, but Kyle hurries to anchor Hangman’s feet. Hangman kicks Kyle away, runs up, but Kyle blocks the boot to ENZIGIRI, SUPERKICK, and he reels Hangman in! Kyle suplexes, APRON BRAINBUSTER!! Both men are down and the fans lose their minds!
Callis says Kyle is going to roll into the finals with that one! The ref checks both men, and they’re somehow okay to continue. Kyle drags Hangman up and they’re on top of the barriers now! The fans fire up as Hangman fires body shots, then he blocks a kick! Hangman trips Kyle and Kyle SMACKS off the barriers! Kyle staggers back to his feet, and Hangman sets up to ASAI MOONSAULT! Into an inverted suplex! TOMBSTONE on the floor!! The fans lose their minds as now Hangman returns fire, and Dynamite goes back to picture in picture!
The ref has to again check both men, and both men are still in this somehow. The ring count climbs, the fans rally up, and both men slowly sit up. Hangman springs in at 9, Kyle springs in at 9.5!! The fans fire up as both men stay in this! Hangman and Kyle slowly sit up and crawl on their knees. Hangman throws the first punch! Kyle comes back to throw one, but there wasn’t any sauce behind it. Kyle flops back down, and Hangman scowls. Hangman sits Kyle up to throw another punch! Kyle comes back to throw another shot, and that one had something! The two stand and the haymakers keep going! Hangman ROCKS Kyle again and again!
Kyle ends up in a corner and Hangman HAMMERS away! The ref backs him up, and then Kyle SUPERKICKS Hangman! Hangman staggers to the opposite corner and Kyle smirks. Kyle storms over to Hangman, hoists him to the top rope, then climbs up to join him. Hangman fires body shots but Kyle still brings Hangman to the very top! SUPER- NO, Hangman slips free, and he SHOVES Kyle onto the crossbar! Kyle is stuck up there, so Hangman climbs up after him. Now Hangman brings Kyle to the very top, for a SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Dynamite returns to single picture right as they crash land on the mat!
Norfolk is thunderous, and a standing count begins. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but someone has to go face Ospreay at Double or Nothing! Both men rise up, and they again throw haymakers from their knees. They stand, throw more shots, and Hangman fires a flurry! Hangman whips, Kyle reverses, but Hangman ROCKS Kyle! Kyle shakes that off to BOOT Hangman! Kyle runs, Hangman rebounds, and Hangman LARIATS! Kyle staggers around but he stays up. Hangman storms up on Kyle to whip again, but Kyle reverses, wrenches, and SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF SUPLEXES! Hangman staggers to a corner and Kyle takes aim!
Kyle runs, but Hangman POP-UP SIT-OUT POWERBOMBS!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Hangman is beside himself! Hangman slashes his throat, vowing to end this!

Callis knows the problem was Kyle didn’t have the arms trapped. Kyle seethes, but he watches Hangman go to the corner. Kyle runs in again, GAMANGIRI! Then a suplex for the- NO, Hangman slips free, O’Conner Rolls, TWO! Hangman goes to the apron! Hangman BOOTS Kyle away, but Kyle GAMANGIRIS again!

Cover, TWO!??!!? Hangman survives and shocks everyone, especially Kyle! Callis is furious and he jumps off commentary to argue the count! Norfolk is electric for “COWBOY SH*T! COWBOY SH*T!” Kyle runs corner to corner again, GAMANGIRI!
Kyle hoists Hangman to the top, climbs up, but Hangman fires body shots! Hangman LARIATS! Kyle holds onto ropes for dear life, but Hangman LARIATS again! Hangman gets Norfolk to fire up, and that energy powers Hangman up for another LARIAT!! Kyle falls back, but he rolls and stands again. Hangman slingshots off the corner!! BUCKSHOT!! And then he goes to the apron, BUCKSHOT!!! Cover, HANGMAN WINS!!
Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (advances to Double or Nothing)
Virginia is for lovers, but it’s also for fighters! Norfolk cheers as their Cowboy rides on to the finals, but will this be Hangman’s year? Or will he fail to win “the big one” as he has before?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite, and good moves towards not just Double or Nothing but also Beach Break. Well, to be fair, a lot more matches will surely be announced next week, it’s still just the world title match for now. But after The Opps of course squashed Comoroto, Titus & Hawkins, it makes sense for the Death Riders to ambush them. Shibata suffering that chair spot is surely so the World Trios Championships won’t be defended until closer to Double or Nothing, probably giving Pac time to recover so he can team with Claudio & Yuta again. But a Steel Cage for the world title is great stuff, though that doesn’t necessarily change the odds into Joe’s favor.
Awesome opening 8 Man, and it felt like all these guys were bringing that PWG energy. In the end, The Elite with Ricochet win out because for one, Ricochet needs some wins to stay strong. Two, The Bucks win to get heat and build themselves up, and Okada couldn’t take the pin because we’re still on some long route to Okada VS Omega. We’ve got a month, so I’m sure we’ll see those two interact more and perhaps have Omega issue the challenge first. I don’t know if title unification really needs to happen, but one way or another, we’re going to get another instant classic from these two.
Very good promo from Mercedes Mone to play up just how stuck up her Heel persona is. Great match from Toni VS Miyu, and I do appreciate Toni is being a fighting champion right now. I hope that’s not a sign that she’s gonna lose to Mone at All In… Hayter had a great response to Mone’s promo with her physicality, and Toni enjoying Hayter’s music was great stuff. I still hope Athena comes back around past Double or Nothing to build something for All In, and part of me still hopes it is Athena VS Mone, the ROH Women’s and AEW TBS titles on the line. At this point, Mone is on the level of someone who can stop Athena and vice-versa, that’ll be a great match.
Very good promo from The Patriarchy with Lethal, and great match of Nick VS Lethal. Great win for Lethal to build some momentum going into BOSJ, and I can’t wait to see how Nick does in that round robin. Great stuff with Hurt Syndicate and MJF, and of course MJF can’t help but get mad when Lashley rejects him again. Lashley telling MJF to go hurt somebody, MJF will definitely try that. It might even happen as soon as Collision on Saturday, perhaps costing some random Face a good win. That can also be a good opportunity for whoever that is, as they can have a match with MJF and maybe even a story with the Hurt Syndicate.
And very good stuff going into the main event. Good promo from The Don Callis Family, and awesome main event match of Kyle VS Hangman. Given last week’s go-home math, it makes sense Hangman would win here. Plus, MJF saying Hangman would choke, this gives Hangman that chance to prove MJF wrong. Ospreay VS Hangman is also a fresh match-up for an awesome Owen Hart Cup Finals. It still feels like Ospreay is going on to All In given he helped kick off this year’s Owen Hart Cup build, and Ospreay will finally get in on the Death Riders story like he and Darby Allin talked about months ago.
