MJF- No, wait, CM PUNK heads to the ring!
The Best in the World used MJF’s music to fake out the fans! Long Island is torn as many were expecting the hometown “hero” to show up. Punk gets the mic to say, “Is that all you got? Chicago was so much louder.” Punk is all smiles as fans boo. Punk has just realized why the Islanders have yet to win a game in this building. “Should I continue? Well, y’all certainly don’t disappoint, unlike your guy, MJF.” That’s why Punk is here. MJF is their guy? Fans are also torn on that. Getting hot in here for Punk. He’s wearing an AEW Four Pillars Shirt, but he replaced MJF with Britt Baker!
Punk wants to make sure their guy can’t put over a woman based on her accomplishments, it has to be about the lewds. That incel is their guy? The guy that said, to Punk’s face in Punk’s hometown, that MJF is better than Roddy Piper in Portland, when he isn’t even as good as Piper when Hell comes to frog town. In Punk’s hometown, he stepped to MJF and said they’d do it there. MJF took his sports coat off, his watch and his scarf off, and then ran! Punk can’t understand the fans jeering, just like the Islanders can’t figure out how to put a puck in a net. The Islanders beat Ottawa? That’s like when Punk beat QT Marshall a few weeks ago.
Is this what MJF wants? “That’s your guy?” Fans continue to be torn, but here’s what Punk wants. He wanted to see how the fans would react and he’s a bit taken aback. But he understands. When he was a kid, he hated Dennis Rodman, just like Chicago did, because he was on the Detroit Pistons. But then he changed to the Chicago Bulls and Rodman become Punk’s guy. That’s Punk’s “worm,” so it seems MJF is Long Island’s “worm.” Punk isn’t mad at the fans, he just feels a bit sorry. Punk has his eyes set on next week, the AEW World Championship match, Hangman Adam Page VS The American Dragon, Bryan Danielson. Punk wants next! And we gotta believe MJF wants next, too.
But there’s this thing between Punk and MJF that they need to settle before one of them, most likely Punk, goes on to fight for the AEW title. Punk keeps trying to get MJF to do this but MJF just runs away. Fans can cheer for MJF, that’s fine. If they can look themselves in the mirror still, that’s fine. But Punk knows what this looks like to an outsider: two guys arguing and they can’t tell who the idiot is. Chicago knows the idiot is MJF. Punk proposes they settle it like he has the last two weeks. Punk doesn’t want to deal with Shawn Spears, Wardlow or FTR. This is between him and MJF, who stooped as low as to bring Punk’s dog, Larry, into this. And Larry has more balls than MJF, and Larry got neutered.
So MJF has wasted enough of Punk’s time, but let’s be honest. He is having fun. If MJF is someone’s hero, Punk gets it. The Islanders haven’t won anything since 1984. So Punk puts out the challenge: him and MJF, 1v1. No more running like they do in Long Island. Stand and fight like in Chicago! And Punk has no out, but neither does MJF. MJF VS Punk, even here tonight! Fans do like the sound of that. But Punk is pretty sure MJF won’t agree to it, nor a man in this building that would agree to it. If MJF is who they back, then they’re all chicken s*it. Punk leaves with his music, but will he gets the match he wants from Maxwell Jacob Friedman?
A car is pulling up to the UBS Arena.
A voiceover guy says, “The difference between a hero and a villain is perspective. If you think this man is a villain, you aren’t from Long Island. You haven’t driven on the LIE with the top down while blasting Billy Joel. You haven’t grabbed some Ralph’s Ices, some Ben’s matzah ball soup, and a Bagel Boss bagel. If you don’t get that, you’re probably a poor, and most definitely mid.” The driver steps out, and of course it’s MJF. “The perspective of people from the most magical place in the world, Long Island, New York, is that this man is a hero. Allow me to list off the accomplishments of this mighty hero.
“All-state linebacker, breaking the Nassau County all-time record in tackles for a season. All-state choir tenor 2. Captain of the all-male acapella group known as the Aca-Fellas. Made Varsity his freshman year in amateur wrestling, and was never taken down. He also broke the Plainview High record in the keg stand, with an impressive one minute and 33 second chug. And yes, I know what you’re thinking. You’re correct. He pulled so many chicks. I mean, bro, it was freakin’ nuts, dude. The bottom line is, this man might not be your cup of tea. But to us Long Islanders, he’s Salt of the Earth. And that makes him better than you, and you know it.”
Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale!
This year’s Dynamite Dozen are: Lio Rush, Big Money Matt Hardy, Lee Johnson, Lee Moriarty, Matt Sydal, Wardlow, Frankie Kazarian, Jay Lethal, Team Taz’s Ricky Starks, Will Hobbs AND Dante Martin, and of course the TWO-TIME Dynamite Diamond Ringbearer, MJF!

Dante resists , the ref reprimands MJF hiding on the apron but it’s not like he can be disqualified. Starks fights Lio off and goes up top but Lio goes after him with haymakers!
AEW returns to single picture and Lio KICKS Starks down! MJF gets another cheap shot in on Dante! Fans are thunderous for their hero! Johnson gives Kaz a JAWBREAKER!

But then Kaz runs in, only for MJF to dump him out and ELIMINATE him!!
But Dante and Starks are still in this, the math is on their side. The lights flash to indicate the next elimination ends this. MJF realizes that, but then Datne TOSSES Starks and ELIMINATES him?!?
Winners: MJF and Dante Martin (will battle for the Dynamite Diamond Ring next week)
Team Taz was absolutely shocked as Dante just used Team Taz to his advantage! MJF wants to shake Dante’s hand, and Dante takes it. MJF raises Dante’s hand, pats him on the back, and takes his leave. Will MJF make sure he keeps his Dynamite Diamond Ring next week? As for Dante, Starks comes back and attacks! He wants payback for the swerve! MJF looks back and considers helping Dante, but continues up the ramp. Fans are fired up, they want their hero to actually be a hero, but MJF says- Wait, he rushes back in!

8 Man Tag: Jurassic Express & The Varsity Blonds VS The Acclaimed & 2point0 w/ Daniel Garcia!
Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus are the #1 contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships, but that means maintaining momentum until they get their match. Will they, Griff Garrison & Brian Pillman Jr. all have momentum after this? Or will Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, Matt Lee & Jeff Parker bring them to a screeching halt?
Platinum Max has another rap on deck! “The Acclaimed, we’re this company’s pride and joy. I’m Platinum Max, I’m an Island Boy. We pack more shows than anyone in this sport.

It’s hard to know what Kingston just said, but here comes 2point0 and Garcia! They attack 3v2, and Lee even uses a recycling bin to hit everyone, including security! Referees rush in, they break things up, but have things just escalated to a level 2point0 and Garcia aren’t ready for?
FTR and Tully Blanchard speak.
Tully says, “These two gentlemen once were the world tag team champions for AEW. They will be again, the first two-time champions. They have defeated the Lucha Brothers once, they sent a substitute, beat ’em twice. They went to their home country, and beat ’em thrice. And it is so hard to get them back in the ring. Gentlemen, let’s put this to bed.” Cash Wheeler says it is just as the legendary Tully just said. Lucha Brothers have never beaten FTR and never will. Their only victory was a fluke, it doesn’t count. No more fun and games, no more Halloween costumes. Now it is time for FTR to take their rightful spot at the top of the tag team division.
They are the absolute best, the transcendent, the torchbearers of tag team wrestling now and far into the future. Dax Harwood says Friday night on Rampage will be the biggest night of their careers. That will pay their bills, the mortgage, and fill their family’s stockings. Rampage, they become the first-ever two-time AEW Tag Team Champions, writing their names in the historic books and the annals of AEW as the greatest tag team of all time. Top Guys OUT. But will they be in the winner’s circle this Friday?

Backstage interview with Ruby Soho.
She’s a semifinalist in the TBS Championship Tournament but was attacked after her win by her future opponent, Nyla Rose. Her response to that attack? She’s cut off by The Bunny & Penelope Ford. They “hate” to interrupt the interview, it sounds… riveting. But the thing is, Nyla Rose told them to tell Soho that if, no wait, when Nyla wins the TBS Championship, The Bunny & Superbad Girl are first in line for title shots. So on Rampage, they’re going to have a match. Bunny, Ford & Nyla Rose VS Ruby and… Two of her friends? Sorry, does she have friends here? Ruby Soho? More like Ruby SOLO~!

Will Tay, Jay & the Runaway get major momentum this Friday?
Tony Schiavone interviews Sammy Guevara on stage.
The Spanish God is still AEW TNT Champion, and his open challenge continues. But before Sammy can say more, Cody Rhodes walks out? The American Nightmare and former TNT Champion has a mic, but still has some serious burns on his arm from his Atlanta Street Fight with Andrade. Cody apologizes for the interruption, he just didn’t want to blindside anyone. “From one good guy to the next, your open challenge is going great. Christmas Day, your open challenge has been filled. Tony Khan just made it official. You’ll be defending the TNT title against me.” Fans boo but Cody shakes hands with Sammy and wishes the kid good luck. And then he goes back out the way he came.
Ethan Page laughs from the cheap seats? “Of course he gets the title match! Of course Cody Rhodes gets the title match, he gets to skip ahead of the line. And what happens to Ethan Page’s title match, huh? I had to jump through hoop, after hoop, after hoop, after hoop, just to get my TNT title shot! No open challenge! That’s BS.” But y’know what? Maybe if Ethan was an EVP or kissed Tony Khan’s ass, he’d get a shot quicker. But y’know who did get him his shot? DAN LAMBERT! Oh, you love him, huh? Guess what! You’re gonna get more! He’s on his way back! Scorpio Sky says damn right Lambert’s coming back!
And what’s Sammy gonna say now? Talk about being a fighting champion? Someone who faces any and everyone except the guys in the top five, right? Ethan points out that these two are in the top fight. Scorpio tells Schiavone not to give Sammy an interview. Give him BALLS! Cuz at some point, Sammy’s gotta step up to the plate, stop calling himself a champion and prove he is one! Sammy says he’s right here. Just come get him! The Men of the Year stay far, far away, but will they get a shot at the Spanish God before the year is up?
AEW takes a closer look at the other TBS Championship Tournament semifinal.
Thunder Rosa says, “Jade, you wanna know what I know about you? Money corrupted you.” Jade Cargill counters, “We get paid by the match, not by the hour. So we’re gonna make this quick, and we’re gonna make this money.” Rosa says Jade hit her with a chair because she didn’t have the guts or the ability to beat her clean. Mark Sterling notes Jade made quick work of Janai Kai, Rosa’s student. That is someone Rosa taught all her knowledge to. And Kai was on of Rosa’s best, right? Rosa says Jade has no respect for anyone or anything. Jade wants to get this straight for Thunder Rosa. “This is MY show.”
That won’t stop Rosa’s future of becoming the FIRST TBS Champion. But this is #ThatBitchShow. Will La Mera Mera end up Jaded when these two finally face off 1v1?
Riho VS Jamie Hayter w/ Britt Baker & Rebel!

Hayter stands on Riho’s back at the ropes but lets off as the ref counts. Hayter stands on Riho’s head, Britt taunts Riho with the AEW Women’s title, then Hayter lets off.

But Shida says Deeb spoiled everything! Now Shida will hunt Deeb down and make her pay! If Shida thinks having her leg smashed in with a steel chair was the worst, think again! Deeb has 1000 ways to hurt someone! Bad blood is boiling, but who will be left out in the cold next Dynamite?
Schiavone interviews The Varsity Blonds & Julia Hart.
They won the 8 Man Tag earlier and are at 21 wins! Things are looking up, but then the lights turn off! The lights return, and MALAKAI BLACK is on stage with them! But why? He sprays mist into Julia’s face, and then disappears as the lights go dark again! What is this attack about?! What does the Dark Father have against the Blonds!?
Bryan Danielson VS John Silver!
The American Dragon hasn’t actually checked off every member of the Dark Order, but he’s going after who he considers the strongest member, but also the biggest joke in the faction. Will the Meat Man be the perfect appetizer for this vicious vegan before he goes after Hangman Page? Or will Johnny Hungy be too much for the GOAT?
The bell rings and fans fire up as the two stare down. Fans rally for “JOHNNY HUNGY!” and Bryan laughs. But he isn’t laughing with Silver, he’s laughing at Silver. They tie up, Bryan wrenches and clamps onto an arm, but Silver slips through to wrench back. Silver wristlocks, Bryan rolls, hooks a leg and chinbars to bring Silver around. Bryan ha the arm, Silver powers out and things speed up, only for Bryan to run Silver over! Bryan soaks up the heat then eggs Silver on. Silver gets up, he ties up with Bryan and headlocks. Bryan powers out, things speed up again, Silver runs Bryan over and flexes! He’s friggin’ jacked, baby!
Bryan runs in but Silver picks him up to TOSS him! And he flexes again! Bryan gets to a corner, Silver waits on him now. Bryan takes his time as fans rally up.

Bryan KICKS and KICKS, Silver KICKS and KICKS and KICKS! Bryan blocks a kick but Silver rolls to get an ankle pick to a HEEL HOOK!! Bryan scrambles, stomps Silver with his free foot but Silver eggs him on! Silver WRENCHES the foot back, Bryan scrambles to the ROPEBREAK!
Bryan bails out but Silver goes to the apron! CANNONBALL! Down goes Bryan and fans fire up with Silver! Silver follows Bryan back into the ring, runs in but Bryan spins him around, backslide! Silver rolls off to KICK, KICK and SUPERKICK! Waistlock, GERMAN SUPLEX, but Bryan lands on his feet to BUZZSAW! Fans boo as Bryan wags his finger. Bryan says “Too easy!” Bryan aims from a corner, fans chant “NO! NO! NO!” but Bryan runs in, but Silver gets around to roll-up! TWO!! Bryan runs back in, but Silver trips him to the ropes! BOOT to the back, then SNAP GERMAN! Bridging cover, TWO!! Silver was so close and fans are fired up!
Silver snarls and calls for it! He torture racks Bryan, but Bryan rakes eyes! Bryan ROLLING ELBOWS Silver, and rams elbow after elbow into Silver’s head and shoulders!

Silver is OUT, Bryan wins!!
Winner: Bryan Danielson, by submission
Bryan probably won this by knockout, too, with that piledriver. But Bryan gets a mic to say, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let’s see. Uno, head kicked in. Cabana, head kicked in. Alan Angels, head kicked in. Johnny Hungy… Oh. Wait a second. I’m nothing if not a man of my word. I promised to kick his head in. I promised to kick his head in! Just like I’m gonna kick Hangman’s head in next week.” Bryan goes back to Silver, gets the arms, DANIELSON STOMPS! But here comes HANGMAN! Bryan doesn’t see him until Hangman’s throwing hands on him! Bryan scrambles away, Hangman is fired up!
Fans fire up for “COWBOY SH*T!” and Hangman gets a mic! “Next week, I’m gonna stomp the cowboy sh*t outta you!!” Winter is Coming, and the AEW World Champion is coming for Bryan’s head! Will Hangman slay the American Dragon?
My Thoughts:
What a great episode here, that also acted as a go-home to next week’s big themed episode. Deeb VS Shida Round 3 is going to be awesome, but I’m a little surprised they didn’t up the ante into a No Disqualification match. Though I suppose it wouldn’t prove anything for these two incredibly technical wrestlers if it came down to using chairs and Shida’s kendo stick. Then we also got great set-up for Rampage, that AEW World Tag Team Championship match is going to be wild. After a great tag match of Bucks VS Chaos, getting Yuta VS Cole is an interesting move. But how awesome to see Trent back! We’re definitely (or at least should definitely) get an 8 Man Tag now.
CM Punk had a great promo to open the night, basically being Heel to the Long Island crowd. MJF had a great vignette to introduce him before the battle royal. I figured MJF would be a finalist, and I like the touch of him “accidentally” eliminating Wardlow. That can definitely come back to fuel Wardlow turning on MJF and ditching the Pinnacle. Dante swerving Team Taz was quite the surprise, and maybe, just maybe, Dante gets that ring off MJF. Between Wardlow being very close to leaving MJF, and even Punk getting involved to screw MJF, Dante has a good chance of getting the ring. Either that or Team Taz screws Dante and MJF still has the ring.
The Men of the Year end up Heels that make good points when it comes to Cody slipping in and getting the TNT Championship match for Christmas week. Maybe Sammy defends against Scorpio at Winter is Coming to see who faces Cody. Also, Cody is definitely being tongue in cheek about still being Face with that line about “Good guy to good guy.” If Cody is going to win that title back, it’s going to be because he turns Heel, even if he doesn’t acknowledge he’s become a Heel. Riho had an awesome match with Hayter, showing a lot of toughness and the ability to come back, but I don’t really see her taking the title off Britt.
We got a great 8 Man Tag, and I love that Caster brought back the promo-Cuomo rhyme. The Faces winning makes sense, Jurassic Express needs momentum for their eventual title match, and apparently the Blonds are going to be the new targets of Malakai Black for whatever reason. Maybe a “sins of the father” angle for BPJ? Kingston getting involved was great, and then having Ortiz end up part of the brawl with 2point0 and Garcia must mean that The Inner Circle gets involved since 2point0 and Garcia went after Jericho. That’s going to be a great build and Six Man Tag, no matter the combination on the Face side.
We got a great promo vignette from Rosa and Jade, and then we got a good set-up for a Six Woman Tag on Rampage. As I’ve said for the Dark and Elevation articles, Vickie Guerrero really should establish a larger female faction of “Vicious Vixens.” Penelope might as well join up, and Bunny might be Hardy Family Office but she might as well be considered a member. The Heels probably win the Six Woman Tag to give the math to Ruby on the TBS Championship Tournament match. That way, Ruby can be the Face that faces Jade Cargill and puts her over as the inaugural champion.
Then we got an awesome main event, probably Silver’s best singles match or even best match period. He gave Bryan a run for his money as they were basically mirror images. But Bryan’s experience and Heelish ways got the win, and then Hangman making the save was a great closing moment. Their match next week is going to be awesome, but I don’t see Hangman losing here, his reign is still too new. Honestly, I don’t see Hangman losing for some time, even with AEW Revolution being later than previous years with it at the beginning of March. A rematch with Kenny Omega, a match with Adam Cole, or a match with MJF, maybe. But we’re going to be in the Cowboy Shit Era for a good run to help with the move to TBS.
My Score: 9.1/10

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
The fans are already fired up as Tony welcomes us to AEW Dynamite in New Orleans! “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome with me to begin this program, multi-platinum recording artist, entrepreneur, and University of New Orleans’ own ‘Coach P,’ ladies and gentlemen, MASTER P!” The fans fire up again as indeed, THE Master P, the hip hop legend and the owner of House of Glory Wrestling, makes his way to the ring! P says what up New Orleans! It’s AEW Dynamite, UNHHH~! It is his pleasure to introduce to us the NEW AEW World Trios Champions, THE OPPS! “Make ’em say UNHHH~!”
The fans cheer even more as Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata and “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs make their way out, wearing those University of New Orleans Pirates colors! Samoa Joe gets himself a mic to say, “Lemme try that one one time. Make ’em say UNHHH~!” “UNHHH~!” “Nana nana!” Master P says it is about to get rowdy rowdy, ’bout it ’bout it! Joe says yes, sir! It is good to be here tonight! Because you see, The Opps have come to celebrate. The fans like the sound of that! Joe says before that, props to big brother Master P. Joe thanks P for the introductions, and for everything he does for this great city. Joe appreciates it, he knows the people appreciate.
Joe says BigBlueUNO.com, see what P is doing for the student athletes here. Master P says there’s always love for the student athletes. Master P is Coach P, there’s nothing but love for this city. Joe says that’s a good thing, because they love New Orleans, too. When they thought about the best city to celebrate a championship win, it’s right here in New Orleans! But wait, the Death Riders are here to ruin the fun. Well, Marina Shafir comes out from the back, but Wheeler Yuta rushes in from the ramp! He CLOBBERS Shibata, Claudio CLOBBERS Hobbs, and Moxley uses the briefcase to CLOBBER Joe! The fans boo and Master P can’t believe it!
Claudio drags Hobbs out, Yuta keeps after Shibata, and then Hobbs is sent into steel steps! Moxley CHOKES Joe, Marina is there to hold Joe down, and then Moxley stomps Joe! The fans boo but Master P stands his ground! The fans cheer on the coach but this is still a 3v1 situation. Moxley steps to Master P, and then Master P chuckles…? Because JOE IS BACK UP! Joe has the COQUINA CLUTCH on Moxley! Shibata and Hobbs drag Yuta & Claudio from the ring to fire in return! Master P even gets some shots on Mox! The fans fire up as the tables have turned on the Death Riders! P laughs as Moxley goes out, again!
Master P says this is New Orleans, right? They want all the smoke! This about to be a problem. Go ahead, put ’em to sleep! But wait, The Elite rushes out here! And Matthew Jackson has a chair! He SMACKS Joe down to free Moxley! Master P hurries out of there now, there’s a lot more going on. The fans boo as the Death Riders turn the tables back around. The Bucks say you’re welcome, Moxley. But then Marina steps in and keeps Moxley from retaliating, And then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE! The fans fire up as now the Realest is on the scene! Joe gets back up again, The Elite retreat now that things are getting complicated.
But then Kenny Omega makes his way out here! And The Cleaner has a chair of his own! The Elite scurry after where The Death Riders made their exit! The fans fire up as AEW International Champion stands with the World Trios Champions and the Most Dangerous Man in AEW. Then these five look to each other, and Joe grabs the mic again. “In respect to whose house it is, nice to see you again, brother. I will say this: JON MOXLEY! You wanted me, now you have me. I’m gonna beat your ass, choke you out, and ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be taking back my AEW World Championship.” The mission statement has been issued, but will all part of “Team AEW V3” be okay with that?
Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.
Renee Paquette is with Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Mother Shayna, and the youngest ever singles champion in ROH or AEW history, the NEW ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne. A huge congratulations to Nick, but Christian says actually, the congratulations should all go to him. He even takes the belt from Nick! Christian says Nick would agree that if not for The Patriarch, Nick would not be standing here the champion. Because Christian is the one who forced Nick to step out of his shell, find himself, spread his wings and truly become what it is Christian’s always known Nick to be, and that’s The Prodigy.
Christian still says they’re all proud of Nick. They all celebrated. In fact, Christian and Shayna celebrated Nick’s victory extensively, later that night. Nick scowls but Christian says, “Do you see what happens, Nick, when you listen? When you shut your mouth, you open your ears, and you actually listen to me?! Good things happen, and I always tell the truth, don’t I?” Nick asks Christian if he sees what happens when you actually stick to the plan: You actually win championships. Nick tries to take his belt back, but Christian holds onto it. Christian then willingly gives it over, and says, “I love my family.”
Christian storms off, and neither Kip nor Shayna is really sure what to make of this. Is there about to be a new head of the household now that Nick’s standing up for himself?
Ricochet VS Mark Briscoe!
The One & Only is brushing off the losses that have plagued him in hopes of reaching his goal of gold in AEW. However, will he #ReachForTheSky against the Sussex County Chicken? Or can Ricochet #ManUp against the former ROH World Heavyweight Champion?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two circle, the fans taunt Ricochet with, “OH~ Ricochet’s Bald~!” Ricochet is annoyed, and he goes out to bond with the fan in the front row who is also bald! He claims everyone else is making fun of this guy, too! In fact, isn’t Mark bald? Why aren’t people talking Mark for being bald?! The fans chant, “You Aren’t Mark! You Aren’t Mark!” The two tie up, Ricochet powers Mark back, but Mark turns things around to corner Ricochet. The ref has Mark back off and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Mark reset, feel things out, but Ricochet goes to the ropes for defense.
The fans boo but Mark waits on Ricochet. Ricochet and Mark circle, feel things out, but again Ricochet is in a corner. The ref backs Mark off, and then Ricochet runs up! But Mark blocks a shot to fire hands in return! Mark keeps Ricochet from escaping to ROCK him again! And again!

Tony Schiavone is back in the ring.
He welcomes us back to the show, but just as he’s about to begrudgingly welcome out FTR, he is interrupted by Stokely Hathaway! Big Stoke says there has been a change of plans, and he’s got this now. “They are living legends. Top guys! TEN TIME World Tag Team Champions! New Orleans, give it up for F T R!” The fans boo, but the music hits and Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler make their way out, walking with Stokely to the ring. FTR shake hands with Schiavone, and Stokely reintroduces himself. He will address the elephant in the room. FTR were suspended and fined for accidentally hitting someone, and simply touching Tony Schiavone?
That is interesting to Stokely, because there are other people who have literally set people on fire. Hangman Page has committed arson! Ricochet decides to come to work and shanks people with scissors! And should we even list all of Moxley’s crimes? Stokely will. Acts of terrorism, kidnapping, extortion, and all to FTR, yet he walks around here unpunished. That is unjust! But do not worry, that’s why Stokely is here. Stokely says that suspension will be expunged from their permanent records. Those fines will be reimbursed, based on the very public, ugly, and nasty way this has all played out.
Moving forward, if you wanna have a conversation with the Top Guys, you need to have a conversation with Stokely. As of today, Stokely Hathaway is the new agent for the greatest tag team today, F T R! Now, Schiavone, do your job. Schiavone thanks Stokely, and then holds the mic for FTR. Cash says beautiful work from Stokely. But what happened last week with Daniel Garcia was not an easy decision for them. But “Danny” gave them no choice when he made his own decision. The fans boo, Cash says please be polite, he is talking. Don’t forget, it was 2Point0 that got in FTR’s face! It was 2Point0 that came at FTR! It was 2Point0 that wanted a fight!
And from where FTR is from, when you want a fight, you better be ready to fight. And well, 2Point0 wasn’t ready for that fight. Cash has respect for Danny, though. When he asked them to stop, FTR stopped. Danny is FTR’s friend. But then he goes and treats them like that? Don’t forget, Danny, you came to them for help. When every other veteran here left him high and dry and directionless, it was FTR that got Danny to the TNT Championship. FTR put Danny first, they put Cope first, they put AEW first, and that got FTR nothing but disrespect! NO MORE! FTR first from now on! And you’re gonna boo them for that?!
The fans do indeed boo, but Dax steps in. What’s with the hostility? Relax. Speaking of living legends, there are a couple legends in the house right now! Rock ‘n’ Roll Express are here! Dax invites Ricky & Robert to the ring to share the spotlight. Ricky & Robert stand up, the fans cheer, and Dax says c’mon now, we’ve got TV time ticking. Watch your step, we don’t want anyone falling. Rock ‘n’ Roll Express do indeed step into the ring with FTR, Stokely & Schiavone, and Dax tells the fans that if they didn’t cheer FTR, no need to cheer Rock ‘n’ Roll. The fans boo but Dax says one of the greatest teams of all time, Rock ‘n’ Roll Express!
Ricky & Robert have had some of the greatest matches with some of the greatest teams. Which do they feel is their greatest match of all time? Before Ricky or Robert can answer, Dax says it would have to be Philadelphia with the Midnight Express. And to be honest, no shade, but Midnight Express was better. The fans boo, Dax says no, hold on, tonight is going to be about Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. 40 YEARS of Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, they’re still going strong. How old are they? And again, Dax interrupts by saying that he’d have to say just on looks alone, he’d go with 109. And being 109 means they were running hard in the 80s, if you know what he means.
What would they say was their greatest experience in the 80s? Ricky stops Dax from interrupting this time! The fans cheer and Ricky says no more of this. Don’t try and embarrass Ricky & Robert in front of the wrestling world. Stokely steps in and says there doesn’t need to be hostility. This is kinda ironic, but Stokely has something. He has Dax hold his mic, and then he brings out the brand new FTR merch shirt! FTR: Living Legend Killers. This one’s for Ricky. Stokely throws the shirt at Ricky, and then FTR attacks! The fans boo as Cash DECKS Robert, and then Dax reels Ricky in! Cash goes up, MIND BREAKER!!
But here comes The Paragon! FTR runs from Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly! The Top Guys stoop to new lows, but will The Paragon make sure FTR get the worst of it?
The Young Bucks VS Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey!
We saw Matthew & Nicholas Jackson earlier tonight try and again ingratiate themselves to the Death Riders, only to be reminded they have many more enemies than friends. But this match is really only because The Jet & Speedball went a little overboard with their celebration last week, what with the $400,000 and The Opps winning the World Trios Championships. Will The Bucks be a couple of buzzkills? Or will they still throw a Superkick Party?

PLAY BY PLAY
Marina Shafir storms out here!
She throws some poor rando around on stage, and then kicks her off stage, to then storm into the ring. Marina intimidates Arkady Aura into giving up her mic, then here come the Death Riders! Claudio Castagnoli SHOVES a cameraman down, then SMASHES the camera! Then he CHOKE SLAMS the cameraman through a table! Wheeler Yuta beats up more equipment, the fans boo these sore losers, because clearly this is all in response to losing the AEW World Trios Championships just last night. Boston tells off Yuta but he just uses that as motivation. Jon Moxley is in the ring, waiting for all of this to calm down a bit.
Marina gives Moxley the mic, and Moxley tells the fans and everyone celebrating last night better enjoy it now. “Hobbs, Swerve, Shibata, enjoy it now! Because it’s the last chance you’re gonna have to celebrate for a long time!” The fans boo, but Moxley tells The Young Bucks he officially doesn’t like them, he doesn’t like looking at them, so they better stay in their own lane. They cross the line with Moxley, he swears to God that they are never seen or heard from again, and he means that! Fans are torn there, but Moxley says from the first day he started in this sport, there was one undisputed baddest man in pro-wrestling. That man is Samoa Joe.
The fans cheer for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” and Moxley says he has always shown Joe respect, treated him with reverence. The fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Yuta tells them to shut up! Moxley says he has given Joe that reverence, he has given Joe his space, and it could’ve stayed that way. But Joe started something that Moxley has to finish. Because Moxley doesn’t know any other way, he will not run, he will not hide, he will not roll over and die. he knows no other way to do this but to fight Joe to the death for the AEW World Championship! Tomorrow, now, for better or worse! Mox will be clear: He is challenging Joe!
The fans again chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” Moxley says that’s all he’s gotta say. Joe’s known Moxley long enough to know exactly what he’s dealing with. Moxley then storms off, leading the Death Riders away. Will Samoa Joe accept that challenge, and perhaps even go Double or Nothing?
Kevin Knight VS Lance Archer w/ Don Callis!
The Jet is feeling real good having his share of $400,000, and he’s preparing for next month’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors tournament. But will Knight still be too fly? Or will he be sent crashing down by the Murderhawk Monster?

Archer goes out to drag Knight up, choke grips, and CHOKE- NO, Knight flips free! Knight blocks a boot, ROCKS Archer, then goes up the corner, BIG triangle jump DROPKICK!

Archer tumbles out of the ring, Knight runs, and he WRECKS Archer with a dropkick! Archer pinballs off the desk, then Knight goes up the corner. But Callis grabs at Knight’s foot! The fans boo, Callis gets away with that, but Archer drags Knight down!
Archer ROCKS Knight, then SWINGS him into the steel steps! Archer is all fired up, Callis is happy, but the fans boo while Collision goes picture in picture.
Archer drags Knight up, brings him around, and whips him hard into railing! Knight sputters, the fans cheer him on, but Archer brings Knight up. Archer ROCKS Knight, sits him in a chair, and then runs up to BOOT him down! Knight slumps against the barriers while Archer refreshes the count. But this just lets Callis get his shots in! Callis hammers Knight, but stops before he gets caught. Callis talks smack on the fans, especially that one guy in the third row. Archer stands Knight up against barriers, calls out a small child in their father’s arms, and then CHOPS Knight! Archer drags Knight along the way, taunts more fans, but Knight fires body shots!
Knight CHOPS Archer, but Archer isn’t even bothered! Archer whips Knight back into the ring, then storms in after him. Archer looms over Knight, stands on Knight’s hand, then steps off as the ref reprimands. Archer taunts Knight, stands him up, and pulls hair to put him in the corner. Archer climbs up, taunts the fans, and he smothers Knight! Archer rains down fists, but he stops short of ten to rob the fans the satisfaction! Spring Breakthru returns to single picture and Archer runs corner to corner. ELBOW! Archer keeps moving, and he ELBOWS Knight again! Archer wants more, so he runs again, to ELBOW Knight again!
The fans are torn as Archer has his hattrick, and he looms over Knight again. Archer taunts Knight, slaps him around, but Knight fires a body shot! Archer nods, eggs Knight on, and Knight fires more hands! The fans fire up, but Archer DECKS Knight! Archer drags Knight around, has a cocky cover, ONE!!

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
The Jet flies high and takes the win! Will this literally big win help Knight take over the BOSJ?
The Opps speak.
After Dynamite went off the air, the NEW AEW World Trios Champions regrouped backstage. Samoa Joe said, “Do you understand the unusual thing about predators? Predators tend to think they are the largest and most evil thing in the jungle. They think that nothing pursues them because they are the pursuers. Tonight, the Death Riders learned that wasn’t the case. See, we are The Opps. We are not a movement, we are not an understanding between gentlemen, no. We are men who only need an opportunity and excuse to commit violence. We are men like Shibata. We are men like myself. And now, Death Riders, you learned we are men like Willy Hobbs.
“We are The Opps. We are your AEW Trios Champions. And we are coming for so much more.” The Death Riders were the hunters but are now the hunted, will their reign of terror end thanks to The Opps?
BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Collision!
While Collision will return to Saturday nights, it will also have to wait until after coverage of the NBA Playoffs. The silver lining? It’ll be live from coast to coast! Make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the Playoff Palooza!
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter & Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with these two ahead of their Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament match, set for next week on Dynamite. It is a semifinal match, and yet this is also the first time Kris and Jamie face off 1v1. The winner goes on to Double or Nothing to face Mercedes Mone in the tournament finals, but Kris stops Renee there. Enough about Mone. And enough about Toni Storm, honestly. There are plenty of other women in this locker room who work just as hard, if not harder, than those two. Jamie says she won’t disagree there. Jamie works hard, Kris works hard, and Jamie won’t stand here to give endless pats on the back.
But Jamie also knows Kris is good, being a former TBS Champion. And Kris knows Jamie is good, being a former AEW Women’s World Champion. They both know they can go, and this right here has been a long time coming. Whoever wins this, they better go all the way. See you Wednesday, mate. That match is for Dynamite, but will Kris get a leg up on Mone in the tag match later tonight?
Tony Schiavone reads a letter from FTR.
Given the suspension as announced last night, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are not allowed in the building, so they sent this message instead.
“Dear Tony & Nigel, I (Dax) wish I could take back everything we did to you guys last week. It was completely unacceptable, unnecessary, and unwarranted. I honestly think the punishment for us wasn’t severe enough.” Schiavone explains it is a suspension for a week, without pay. Dax’s letter continues to say, “Tony, I would never have gone through with the piledriver with you. You said some things about my daughter that I won’t hold against you. But in the heat of the moment, I felt I was justified to scare you a little. I love you, Tony.” Schiavone rolls his eyes, the fans boo because they don’t believe Dax’s words.
Schiavone explains this next part is addressed to Nigel. “I never wanted things to get physical between the three of us, I know your body, and your mind for that matter, is very fragile.” Nigel rolls his eyes at the passive aggressiveness there. “I’m sure you were thinking the same thing with emotions as we were. Even though you probably knew there was no way you could ever beat us up, LOL. Again, my sincerest apologies to you both, and I hope we can just move forward in a professional and productive manner. With love, Dax Harwood.” The fans still boo the ingenuine sentiments, and Nigel sarcastically accepts the apology. Will FTR ever actually learn their lesson?
Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita VS Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii!
The Walking Weapon couldn’t defeat the Cowboy, so he goes and sucker punches him after the match, then seemingly joins forces with The Don Callis Family! Will Alexander get his first win alongside The Alpha? Or can Azucar & Stone Pitbull conglomerate their way to a victory?

Tonight, she is in the main event in another tag match alongside Harley Cameron. Mone already groans as Harley brings out “Mini Mone!” “Bostooooon~! Say hello to your C E O~!” Mone says she already did that.

Anthony Bowens speaks.
“Throughout my life, I’ve been told ‘no’ so many times. But if I wanted it bad enough, I always found a way. And here in AEW, I won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. My name is Anthony Bowens. I am AEW’s 5 Tool Player. The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. I am the Pride of Professional Wrestling, led by a badass. I intend to use every tool necessary to climb to the top of AEW. And oh, yeah, I intend to win gold. Let’s make history. So the question is, who’s next to step to the plate and get their ass Molly Whopped by THE Five Tool Player?! That journey starts now. Don’t believe me? Well I’ve got five tools and one rule: Prove them wrong!”
AEW TNT Championship Open Challenge: Adam Cole VS ???
The Panama City Playboy is in Boston, ready to make this City of Champions undisputed! But who will step to this paragon of wrestling? CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI!

The ring count climbs, Claudio hauls Cole up, BARRIER BACK SUPLEX! Cole flops to the floor and the fans lose their minds! Claudio refreshes the ring count, but he does wait on Cole. Cole slowly crawls, so Claudio goes out to fetch him. Claudio UPPERCUTS Cole, Cole staggers around, and Claudio military presses him! Claudio TOSSES Cole out into the crowd! The fans go nuts again, and they cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this possible.
Claudio storms into the ring, soaks up the heat, and the ref checks Cole. That was a rough landing on that hardwood floor, but it seems Cole is okay to continue. The fans rally for Cole as he hobbles his way back to ringside. Cole rolls in, but Claudio runs up to LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cole stays in this but Claudio clamps onto him with a chinlock.

Cole flops to the floor, the fans boo more, but Claudio just soaks it all up as Collision goes picture in picture.
Cole gets checked by Doc Sampson, given that big bruise right on his side. The ring count climbs all the while, and Claudio paces as he waits on a verdict from Doc.

The ref backs Claudio off, the fans boo, but Claudio just seethes. Cole drags himself up with the ropes, Claudio runs back in, UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! Claudio just UPPERCUTS and ELBOWS away! The ref backs Claudio off, warns him to listen to authority, but Claudio goes back in for more UPPERCUTS! The fans rally for Cole as he takes these shots, but then Claudio hoists him up top! Claudio climbs, goes to the very top, SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Cover, ONE, and into a ghost pin! COLE WINS!!!
Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Claudio is in shock! But perhaps his anger got the better of him as he could’ve done things different. But the rest of the Undisputed Kingdom/Paragon is here to celebrate with their guy! Will Cole, Roddy & Kyle all be rolling on the road to Double or Nothing? Wait, now Claudio FLIPS the desk over in his anger! And then he stands it up on it’s side to tip it the other way! And another way! Yuta and Moxley hurry out here to try and calm Claudio down, and the fans taunt Claudio, “That’s expensive! That’s expensive!” They even chant “LOSERS! LOSERS!” The Death Riders storm off, what will satiate their anger?
Backstage interview with “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith.
Lexy Nair is with the former Learning Tree Branches, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. She brings up how last week, Chris Jericho said he wasn’t angry, he was just disappointed, and then he left them to themselves. Where do they go from here? Bill says Jericho was disappointed in them, but Bill is disappointed in Jericho. Jericho is supposed to be the leader, and yet he walks out on them? Quite honestly, Bill is getting… angry. Keith wants Bill to chill. Not right now. What? What’s the difference? They talked about this in private, what’s the difference with it being now? Keith says it is like Bill just said: It was in private.
Keith knows Jericho said they were family, and that means something to Keith. And he just feels that if they’re family, they should handle this like family, and that is internally. And maybe, if Bill didn’t put Jericho on blast last week, Jericho wouldn’t have left. Bill understands, family is very important. That is why Keith wants to get back in the good graces of Jericho. Bill gets that. He just isn’t sure they should be living and dying at the whims of Jericho. Either way, the strategy moving forward is the same: They need to get in the ring, crack some skulls, and stack some wins. Lexy, to answer the question of what’s next, that is next.
Bill heads out, Keith follows, but will they do better or worse without The Nueve?
Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Rosario Grillo, Leon St. Giovanni & KM!
Finally, El Toro Blanco has returned! Rush leads Dralistico y The Beast Mortos into action again, will LFI finally stampede through AEW?
The trios sort out and LFI just attacks! Dralistico has Grillo, Rush has KM and Mortos as LSG! Things spill out side, LFI send their opponents into barriers, and then Darlistico CHOPS Grillo! Rush stomps KM, Dralistico stomps Grillo, and Mortos is back in the ring. The fans fire up with Mortos, and Dralistico sends Grillo into more railing! Rush regroups with his hermanos, both literal and in arms. Dralistico CHOPS LSG, Mortos SPLASHES, and then Mortos whips LSG corner to corner for another SPLASH! Mortos whips LSG to ropes now, for a POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Tag to Dralistico and he springboards in, FLYING CODE BREAKER!
LSG flounders around and the fans fire up. KM tags in, but Dralistico SOBATS, KICKS, and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up as Dralistico tags in Rush! The fans fire up and Rush SUPERMAN PUNCHES KM! Then he DECKS LSG, HEADBUTTS Grillo, and he lets Dralistico FLY! Down go LSG and Grillo! Rush then says, “You mess with the bull…” YOU GET THE BULL’S HORNS!! KM takes those right in the face! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: La Faccion Ingobernable, by pinfall
LFI makes quick work, and Rush says LFG! Will these three be like bulls in a China shop when it comes to the AEW Trios Division?
Backstage interview with Kevin Knight.
Renee catches up to The Jet as he and “Speedball” Mike Bailey say hey. A big congratulations for Knight in winning against Archer. Renee is pretty sure that match came about because Callis didn’t like the rejection he got in trying to recruit Knight and Speedball. Knight says pretty much, but that’s understandable. He doesn’t think the Don- Ricochet steps in, backwards hat and military coat not really going together, but he tells Knight to shut it. Ricochet says these goofs are not the story of the week. The story is how they screwed Ricochet last week and stole that prize money!
Speedball says if by “screwed,” Ricochet means Speedball’s team beat him fair and square to win 400 stacks, then yeah, he got screwed. Ricochet says first, you pinned Mortos, not Ricochet. And seeing as how they’re the new guys here, here’s some “veteran advice.” Don’t upset the top talent in AEW. You don’t disrupt the chain of command. And since Knight and Speedball are so low, at the bottom of the pole, take his advance before something bad happens. Knight says Ricochet has it all twisted, they respect him. Knight and Speedball respect the game, the in-ring talent, the hot wife, all of that.
But anything that Ricochet can do, the Jet can, too. In fact, here’s something he can do that Ricochet can’t. And then he shakes them dreads! Ricochet says here’s what he can do: he can smack Knight in his mouth! Then do it then! Maybe he will, if Knight keeps talking! Knight fakes a slap and makes Ricochet flinch! Ricochet says okay, he wants trouble now. Yeah, Knight needs that. Speedball says okay, just not tonight. Speedball and Knight head out, Renee tosses her hair and leaves. But will the One & Only find he’s the only one with a problem?
ROH World TV Championship: Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Nick Wayne!
If Christian Cage is to be believed, this match has come about all thanks to him pulling the strings. But at the same time, he told his “son” that he’d have to win this one on his own. Will The Prodigy make The Patriarch of the Patriarchy proud? Or will the Commander of the Skies ruin Christian’s “gift?”
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s the real star of ROH TV!
The Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick SPITS at Komander! The bell rings, the fans boo, and Komander DORPKCIKS Nick! Komander fires off hands in the corner, Nick scurries away but Komander keeps on him! Komander CHOPS, Nick kicks low, and then Nick ROCKS Komander. Nick storms up, but Komander kicks, mule kicks, front kicks, and CHOPS! The fans fire up, Komander whips, but Nick reverses. Komander rolls off Nick’s back, then blocks the chop to knuckle lock and CHOP! Komander goes up, up, jumps around, and then FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up again while Nick flounders away.
Komander runs in, Nick TOSSES him to the ramp! Nick comes back, but Komander GAMANGIRIS him down! Komander goes up with Nick in the drop zone! But Nick hurries away, no Cielito. Komander still tightrope walks to ARABIAN PRESS, only for Nick to put him on the apron! Komander RAMS into Nick, springboards, and CROSSBODIES! Then DROPKICKS! The fans fire up while Nick bails out to the ramp. Komander aims, springboards, but Nick dodges! Komander comes back, Nick puts him in the ring, then he ducks a haymaker to HOTSHOT! Komander falls and the fans boo, but Nick checks his teeth.
We see Christian Cage, Kip Sabian & Mother Shayna are watching this backstage as Nick hurries back in the ring. Nick stomps Komander, RAMS him into a corner, then puts him up top. Komander wobbles, Nick winds up to CHOP, then Nick climbs. Komander fires hands and Nick backs off. Komander hops down, springboards, but Nick SHOVES him down! Komander crashes to the floor and Collision goes picture in picture.
Abrahantes coaches Komander, and Nick goes outside to taunt the fans. Nick then fetches Komander to THROW him into railing! Komander writhes, Nick soaks up heat much like he did during Prelude to Spring Breakthru. Nick fetches Komander again, puts him in the ring, and taunts the fans before stepping inside. Cover, TWO! Nick is annoyed but he looms over Komander. Nick drags Komander up, throws him into the ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Nick steps off and he taunts the fans before he CHOKES Komander again! The ref counts again, Nick steps off, and Komander sputters while Nick swaggers around.
Nick drags Komander up, brings him around, and snapmares for a leg drop! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this and Nick grows frustrated. Nick tells the fans to shut up, but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Nick again has Komander on the ropes, literally. Nick whips Komander then KNEES him against the ropes! Nick soaks up the heat, whips Komander again, but Komander springboards to go up and FLYING ARM-DRAG! Then he reels Nick into a EURO CLUTCH! TWO!! Nick escapes in time, but Komander CHOPS! And CHOPS! Nick kicks low, runs, but Komander scoops to BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up while both men are down! Abrahantes and Boston rally for “KO-MAN-DER!” Nick goes to a corner, Komander runs up, but Nick dodges! Nick runs in, but Komander puts him up top, ROCKS and CHOPS him, then triangle jump ENZIGIRIS!
Nick flops to the ramp and the fans fire up! Komander builds speed, and he FLIES to SWANTON Nick on the ramp! A rough landing no matter what, but Komander still kicks Nick in the ring. Komander aims from the corner, tunes up the band and the fans join in. Komander runs, goes up, up, and MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Nick survives but the fans taunt him with “Whose Mom?” “NICK’S MOM!” Komander drags Nick up, torture racks, but Nick fires hands! Nick is free, he goes to a corner, but Komander runs up. Nick goes up and over, victory rolls, TWO! Komander runs back in, but Nick sends him hard into buckles!
The fans boo while Nick takes aim. Nick kicks but Komander ducks it! Komander RAMS Nick into the corner, then hops up, POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO! Nick survives and both men are down while the fans fire back up. Komander goes back to the corner, aims and springboards, but Nick slips around! DRAGON SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Nick is stunned, but he takes aim again! Komander rises, into Nick’s ROUNDHOUSE! Then up, up, WAYNE- TIGER FEINT sweeps the legs! And then a FLYING DESTROYER!! Nick tumbles out of the ring, staggers around, and the fans are thunderous as Komander builds speed!
Komander goes up, up, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS!! Direct hit on Nick and Boston is erupting! Komander puts Nick in, “This is Awesome!” as Komander climbs again. Nick is in the drop zone, for CIELITO LINDO onto BOOTS!! Nick turns things around, then takes aim, ROUNDHOUSE! Nick roars, reels Komander in to pump handle and PRODIGY PLEX!! Cover, NICK WINS!!!
Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall (NEW ROH World Television Champion)
Boston doesn’t like it, but Nick Wayne just became the youngest singles champion in ROH! The Patriarchy is certainly proud, but then Christian Cage leaves Shayna and Kip to go off somewhere. Will he prepare some other gift for his Prodigy as celebration?
Hologram is loading.
And Hologram will return to action next week for Playoff Palooza! Will the incredible win streak continue?
Top Flight speaks.
Dante Martin calls out Action Andretti & Lio Rush to say, “Guess what? We just came from Tony Khan’s office, and there’s no more running, there’s no more hiding, no more ducking, because we have a match next week.” Darius says it isn’t just any match. This has been going on for far too long, so they’re over the wrestling part of this. They want to fight The Cru! Forget the rules, forget the tags, it is a TORNADO TAG MATCH! Leila Grey tells Action & Lio that they’ll see ’em next week for Collision: Playoff Palooza. That is, if The Cru has the balls to show up. Well hold on, The Cru shows up now!
Lio & Action tell Top Flight that they don’t have to wait! Security steps in and keeps this from getting out of hand, but what will happen when there’s nothing holding these teams back?
BREAKING NEWS for a future Dynamite!
It will be AEW’s return to Portland, Oregon, June 11th, when AEW does the unthinkable! It will be the first-ever AEW Summer Blockbuster, a FOUR HOUR edition of Dynamite! That’s right, F O U R!! Get tickets next Thursday, or at least set your DVRs so you do not miss what could be an instant classic!
Toni Storm is here!
The Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion was present last night to watch from afar, but now she wants to get a closer look at tonight’s main event!
Mercedes Mone & Harley Cameron VS Kris Statlander & Julia Hart!
The CEO is reluctant to step back into the ring alongside the wild Aussie, but Harley’s probably the only person who would team with her at this point. Can Harley help Mone keep the Money (Wrath) Train on track? Or will the #BornAgainKristen and the Princess of the Black Throne make a winning combination?
The teams sort out and Mone starts against Kris for both a revival of their rivalry, and also a teaser of what could be for the Owen Hart Cup finals. The two tie up, and Kris SHOVES Mone down! The fans cheer as Kris flexes, but Mone tags Harley. Harley and Kris tie up, and Kris SHOVES Harley away! Harley tags Mone back in, and then picks up Mini Mone! Wait, wait, Harley tags in Mini Mone? Is this a substitution or a 3v2 Handicap now? Harley THROWS Mini Mone at Kris, which Kris easily catches. Kris passes Mini Mone to Julia, how just puts Mini Mone down to step on! Harley tries to roll Kris up but Kris stays up.
Kris drags Harley to her feet, then slips around to roll Harley up! Harley rolls through, Oklahoma Rolls back, TWO! Kris runs up, Harley headlocks, but Kris powers up and out. Harley tilt-o-whirls and HARLEY-GO-ROUNDS! Kris ends up in a corner, the fans fire up, and Harley shouts, “Feel The Wrath~!” Harley runs in, Kris dodges, and then Kris runs in. Harley ELBOWS Kris, has Kris in the ropes, and sunset flips! TWO! Kris kicks, then deadlifts Harley for a suplex! The fans fire up, Kris tags Julia, and Julia takes the handoff to wrench and YANK Harley’s arm! Julia YANKS the arm again and again, then goes up the ropes.
Julia knuckle locks, then tightrope walks! The fans fire up as Julia hits an OLD SCHOOL! Then she adds a BLINDSIDE LARIAT! Cover, but Mone breaks it! The fans cheer, but Julia drags Harley up. Harley JAWBREAKERS, then runs, dodges, and ENZIGIRIS! Tag to Mone, but Julia drop toeholds! Julia dribbles Mone off the mat, but Mone gets free. Mone goes to a corner, Julia runs up and ELBOWS! Julia runs side to side, tags Kris, then goes back to ELBOW Mone again! Kris runs in and KNEES Mone down! Kris brings Mone around to scoop, and FALL AWAY SLAMS! The fans fire up while Mone flounders out and Kris flexes.
Kris goes to the apron, Mone blocks the kick, but Kris handstands out of the throw! Kris also avoids the sweep of her arms, but Mone goes up! Kris avoids the meteora, and they both stop as the other shows haymaker! They then look at Toni Storm, and then they both ROCK the other! Julia and Harley run up, but Mone and Kris DECK them! Then they fire fast hands with each other! The fans fire up, Kris KNEES low, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Kris reels Mone in and FLAPJACKS her off the apron! Mone flounders, Kris stands on her while doing the CEO dance! Kris hauls Mone up and into the ring, covers, TWO! Kris drags Mone up, tags Julia, and they mug Mone. Julia ROCKS Mone, whips her to a corner, but Mone reverses. Mone runs up, blocks boots and ROCKS Julia! Julia is in the ropes and Mone hits the STOCK DROP! Mone huffs ‘n’ puffs before she drags Julia to a cover, TWO! Mone is annoyed but she drags Julia up again. Mone snapmares Julia, runs, and METEORAS! Cover, TWO! Julia stays in this but Mone taunts Kris. Mone dares Julia to crawl to Kris, but then she bumps Julia off buckles.
Mone tags Harley and they mug Julia. Harley brings Julia around, whips her to ropes, and ELBOWS her down! Cover, TWO! Harley stays between Julia and Kris, then brings her around. Julia JAWBREAKERS free, then CLUBS Harley. Julia CHOPS Harley at the ropes, CHOPS her again, then fires forearms. The ref counts, Julia backs off, but then Julia whips Harley to ropes. Harley ducks ‘n ‘dodges, and DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! The fans rally while Julia and Harley crawl, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as they hot tag Mone and Kris! The fans fire up as Mone CHOPS, knuckle locks and goes up, up, and FLYING ARM-DRAGS!
Mone does her dance, then runs corner to corner, DOUBLE KNEES! Mone reels Kris in, the fans rally, and Mone snap suplexes! That’s Una Amiga, and then Mone gets Kris up for Dos Amigas! then THREE AMIGAS! But Kris stops it before quatro! Harley makes the save, and she helps Mone, only for Kris to DOUBLE SUPLEX! Kris rolls through?! DOS DOUBLE SUPLEX! Kris rolls through again and THREE DOUBLE SUPLEX!! The fans are thunderous, we see Jamie Hayter watching backstage and applauding, and Kris puts Mone & Harley in the drop zone! Kris goes up, but Harley rolls with Mone to avoid the 450 Splash!
The fans fire up as Kris tags Julia while Mone and Harley seem to have a tender moment of friendship. Julia ruins the moment with a STANDING MOONSUALT!

But Harley rolls Kris up! TWO!! Mone is stuck as Kris scoops Harley and hits a BACKBREAKER! Then Kris cording holds Harley’s arm, kisses the bicep, and hits the Hayterade?! Cover, Kris & Julia win!
Winner: Kris Statlander & Julia Hart, by pinfall
That wasn’t just the game winner Kris hit on Harley, it was a message sent to Jamie! Luther helps Toni Storm to the ring so she can applaud Kris, and even blow a kiss! Will Kris go Double or Nothing with Mone to then go All In with Toni? Or will Kris feel a Hayterade from the source?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to not just wrap Spring Breakthru but to keep things going immediately from last night. Very good promo from The Opps after their win, and some great stuff with The Death Riders for once. The Death Riders throwing a fit was good stuff, and Moxley had a good promo to call out Samoa Joe. Moxley wants his match with Samoa Joe, that’s a great detail in itself, and that is going to be a great match for Double or Nothing. Claudio stepping up to Adam Cole’s Open Challenge was also cool, and that was a great match. Cole surviving was a good touch, especially with how it just pissed Claudio off more.
Very good promo from Bill & Keith, and it feels very obvious that Keith will betray Bill to side with Jericho. We will get Bill VS Jericho, Keith will screw Bill, but then something will happen where Bill gets his rematch and wins over Jericho in the end. Really good “letter” from FTR to keep up their passive aggressive nature, and you can bet they’ll just do all the same things again next week when they’re back. Great to see LFI back in full force, but let’s just hope they actually get going this time around. There could even be some interesting intertwining of stories if LFI challenge for the trios titles at Double or Nothing, putting Joe in a double header situation since he’ll face Moxley for the world title.
Good promo from Top Flight with Cru to hype up next week’s Collision. But does every post-basketball Collision need a nickname? And as nicknames go, “Playoff Palooza” sounds more like a promotional deal run at a supermarket or car dealership. Really good stuff from the Don Callis Family tonight. Great match from Knight VS Archer and a great win for Knight. Knight and Speedball have a good promo with Ricochet, and a match of Knight VS Ricochet would be awesome, I hope we see it before Knight’s off for Best of the Super Juniors.
Great tag match of Alexander & Takeshita VS Ishii & Rocky, and I should’ve realized watching ROH Prelude to Spring Breakthru was teasing something for tonight. Rocky was salty over that loss there, and then he got even saltier during this match. Great to see Trent back, and now Roppongi Vice is Don Callis Family! They can be the tag team of the faction while Konosuke, Kyle Fletcher and now Josh Alexander all go for singles titles. Awesome ROH World Television Championship match from Komander and Nick Wayne, and again to my surprise, the Prelude foreshadowed stuff. Nick brought momentum into this match, he won this title, and unless he loses it back to Komander at like Supercard of Honor, he probably will bring the title to NJPW BOSJ.
Another great handicap match win for Megan Bayne, but she’ll still be spinning her wheels until after Double or Nothing with all this other stuff going on. Great promo from Mone, Harley & Mini Mone before their main event tag match, and same for Kris having a good promo with Jamie Hayter. That was of course a great match, and Kris winning using Jamie’s finisher was wild. I feel like with Toni Storm paying more attention to Kris, that’s a sign Kris is beating Jamie to face Mone at Double or Nothing. It’s still anyone’s guess who wins the Cup, because Toni VS Kris and Toni VS Mone are both great matches.
