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!

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.

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.

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 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! Again and again and again, but he won’t finish Silver like that! Bryan brings Silver up, Gotch hold, PILEDRIVER! Minoru Suzuki would be proud of that one! Then Bryan gets a DOUBLE ARMBAR! 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

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off!

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?

As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?

Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?
Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.
They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!
And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.
But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!
The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-
Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.
Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

Julia Hart speaks.
“Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. I’m no coward. What you call tricks, I call advantages. I suggested that you watch your back. I gave you all the warnings. So I’m not understanding why you feel the need to call me classless and sneaky. I thought I was being more than reasonable. I know you’re strong, but are you smart? Are my ‘tricks’ too much for you? I guess we’ll find out January 1st, Fight for the Fallen. But remember: The House Always Wins.” The Princess of the Black Throne is ready, but will she learn Hayter Hits Hard?
Backstage interview with Mariah May.
Alex Marvez is with the AEW Women’s World Champion and says in one week’s time, it will be Mariah VS Thunder Rosa for the title, in a Tijuana Street Fight!

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Darby Allin VS Claudio Castagnoli!
While The Relentless One has been after each and every Death Rider, he gets one served up to him on a silver platter. But will Darby bring down the Swiss Superman before the final round? Or will Claudio crush Darby’s hopes and dreams this close to Christmas?

The Swiss Superman screws over Darby, but then he gets that chair back. But wait, Ospreay slides into the ring! And HE has the brass knuckles that Claudio tossed aside! Ospreay dares Claudio to do something, but Claudio simply leaves. Does this mean Ospreay’s ready to ride against the Death Riders with Darby? Or will we see a Miracle on 34th Street send Ospreay and Darby to Worlds End?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here as the last one before Worlds End, and therefore a bit of a go-home in itself. While the continued feud of MJF and Cole has still been a bit clunky since they did the double turn, their faceoff did a good job addressing some of that. They got good digs at each other as always, and MJF snapping and revealing “the truth” was their big move to recover this story. We of course got a brawl, and good save by The Kingdom. It feels like MJF still finds a way to hold onto the diamond ring, but c’mon, how fitting is it for Cole to get a diamond.
Good bit with Toni Storm and The Vendetta, and Deonna’s reaction to Toni was great. Deonna is justified in thinking this is still an act from Toni, not a legitimate psychological problem, and Toni VS Taya will be good stuff. Good promo from Kris Statlander, good match from her and Penelope Ford, and of course a good win for Kris. Good promo from Mone to make Worlds End official, but as I’ve been saying, Mone is more likely to lose the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship as part of the big NJPW Tokyo Dome weekend. The irony is, Mina Shirakawa is her challenger and Mina shows up plenty in AEW, so I don’t know how that math is supposed to work.
Good promo from Mariah May as it also turned into a brawl with Thunder Rosa. As it stands, Rosa standing tall holding up the belt means she is NOT winning at Worlds End, but they could still give us a little more from Rosa and Mariah on Dynamite’s Christmas episode to turn the tables. Good promo from Julia Hart to respond to Jamie Hayter, they’ll have a good match. Good promo from Orange Cassidy to try and reason with Jay White and Hangman Page, but that’s all the more reason Moxley likely uses the challengers all against each other like he did on Wednesday. Though, it would be fun if they at least started the match all annihilating Moxley with their finishers, making us think it’ll work out in favor of “Team AEW.”
Good stuff with Big Boom AJ & Big Justice here tonight, both hyping up the show but also interacting with Jericho’s group and even Anthony Bowens. They’re adding some more foreshadowing to The Acclaimed breaking up, and I guess we’re supposed to see this as a positive move, Bowens feuding with Jericho. Unless Bowens is going to be the guy that dethrones Jericho for whatever ROH cable TV debut/return is planned, the Jericho Vortex strikes again. Bowens should be going for an AEW midcard title, but right now, those are all tied up what with the C2 going on and the International Championship being tied up in Worlds End and NJPW plans.
Speaking of the C2, great stuff with all the matches tonight. Shelton VS Garcia was great stuff, and while Garcia gets the win, they’re still giving us some set-up for a TNT Championship match of Garcia VS Shelton. Mark Briscoe of course made the save, but great surprise for Swerve to show up. Lashley VS Swerve for Worlds End just needs to be said, it already feels a given. All that brawling was also a good segue into Mark VS Mortos, and another great showing for Mortos, even in losing. But as Mark has already had all his matches and is at 9 points, Kyle doesn’t even need to win against Garcia, he just needs to draw so that Mark will be out, and Garcia with him.
While Ospreay VS Darby on Wednesday raised the bar, Ospreay VS Ricochet still had great stuff of its own. Plus, Ricochet is bringing out more of his Heel side what with using the ref, and Ricochet’s win puts the pressure on Ospreay for Christmas Dynamite. Now, no offense to Brody King, but I’m thinking Ospreay wins that to take one of the semifinal spots. Darby VS Claudio tonight was also great, but Darby doing his best Sting off the truss was not the best when he gets that whiplash on the floor. I really thought that match was going to be called for concussion protocol, but Darby’s weirdly indestructible.
Claudio still cheats this win so there’s more heat on the Death Riders and Darby is also behind the 8 ball. Ospreay making the save was good, we can definitely have another “Team AEW” VS Death Riders with Ospreay joining Darby and a couple others, but the way they did the order of matches, Claudio’s got a seemingly easy ride against Komander for Christmas. Though, how awesome would it be if Komander pulled off the spoiler? Or if they were really going to add some drama, they should create a situation where the Death Riders end up ringside, violating the Continental Rules of no cornermen and that disqualifies Claudio. Claudio misses out on the semifinals because of a technicality, sending Ospreay and maybe Ricochet to the semifinals.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?
Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!
The teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.
Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs even gets Konosuke to back down with a glare. Hobbs brings Cage up to fire forearms, then he tags Davis. Davis & Hobbs double whip and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE!

Cage stays in this but Davis bumps him off buckles.
Tag to Hobbs and he brings Cage out. Hobbs and Davis reel Cage in, fans chant “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! MEAT MEAT MEAT!” but Konosuke makes the save!

Cage rains down fists, the ref reprimands, but Cage steps off. Cage drags Hobbs up, bumps him off buckles, and tags Konosuke.

Konosuke rains down fists on Davis, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Konosuke tags Cage and Cage drags Davis up. Cage ROCKS Davis, whips him into a corner, and Davis hits buckles chest first! Cage RAMS into Davis, and RAMS in again, then CHOPS! Davis staggers but Cage whips him to ropes. Davis reverses, to dosido with Cage, only for Cage to CLOBBER Davis! Cage BOOTS Davis down, covers, but Hobbs breaks it! Cage gets mad and the ref reprimands Hobbs, then Cage soaks up heat from DC. Cage stalks Davis to a corner and fires haymakers! The ref reprimands but Cage DECKS Davis! Cage soaks up more heat while he flexes.
Holiday Bash returns to single picture while Davis crawls. Cage storms over but Davis fires hands! Davis CHOPS, CHOPS, but Cage JUMP KNEES! Cage whips Davis, Davis cartwheels and swings on Cage! Cage blocks, waistlocks, but Davis switches! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Davis rises and reaches out! Davis crawls, as does Cage, hot tags to Hobbs and Konosuke!

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!
The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?
The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles.

Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!
Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?
Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again. Willow puts Harley in a corner, the ref counts, and Willow lets off. DC duels between Willow and Harley, and Harley wants a Test of Strength. Willow accepts the knuckle locks, but then Harley kicks low! Harley runs, wheelbarrows, but Willow turns that into a BIG back suplex! The fans cheer as Willow runs, DIVING BODY PRESS! Cover, TWO! Willow bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!
Willow brings Harley out with a smile, and scoop SLAMS her! Harley flounders, Willow storms up on her for another scoop and SLAM, right as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but Harley grows frustrated. The fans rally while Harley waistlocks, but Willow switches! Harley kicks free to switch back, but Willow ELBOWS Harley back! Willow fireman’s carries, storms around, but Harley pops up! Harley fires down elbows, then victory rolls, TWO! Willow escapes and ROCKS Harley! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!
Harley survives but Willow roars! The fans fire up as the straps come down! Willow gut wrenches for the BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Komander circle while the fans bark it up. There are fans who sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~” for Komander as the two tie up. But then Brody picks Komande up with both hands, and puts him on the to rope. Brody pats Komander on the shoulder, and the fans bark more. Komander hops down, not intimidated by Brody’s size. Komander then dodges Brody, DROPKICKS him, but Brody CLOBBERS Komander on the return! Brody eggs Komander on and then scuffs him. Komander gets mad and CHOPS! Brody grins and eggs Komander on.

Brody KNEES low and Komander drops. Brody CHOPS Komander again! Brody asks, “Are you done?!” Brody whips Komander, but Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges to then springboard, but Brody catches Komander with ease! Brody pops Komander up, but Komander pops free, sunset flip, ONE!! Brody drags Komander up and CLUBS him! Komander wobbles, Brody ROCKS him again! Brody drags Komander off the ropes, suplexes, but Komander slips around! SLEEPER! Big men still have to breathe, but Brody RAMS Komander into the buckles! Brody swings, misses, and that bad hand hits post! Komander fires KICKS on the legs!
Komander bobs ‘n’ weaves, kicks, mule kicks and ENZIGIRIS! Brody wobbles and the fans rally up! Komander knuckle locks, CHOPS, and he goes up and up and jumps around! But Brody breaks the grip and DOUBLE CHOPS Komander to the floor! The fans bark it up and the ref checks Komander while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Brody storms out after Komander, who is somehow still in this. Brody drags Komander up, and he whips Komander hard into railing! Brody revels in the DC dogs barking, and Brody stands Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander off his feet, then refreshes the ring count. Brody drags Komander up, and whips him hard into railing! So hard, in fact, that Komander goes up and over! Brody hurries to haul Komander back up, and he suplexes Komander to the floor! Komander writhes more while Brody refreshes the count again. Brody goes back to Komander, scuffs him, and brings him back up.
Komander KICKS Brody, CHOPS, but Brody CHOPS him down! Brody revels in the noise from DC while he stands on Komander’s neck! The ref reprimands, Brody steps off and rolls into the ring. Brody again refreshes the count so he can fetch Komander. Brody puts Komander in the ring, covers, TWO! Komander is still in this but Brody is more amused than anything. Brody paces then brings Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander to a corner, then revels in the noise a bit more. Brody then digs his boot into Komander, but lets off as the ref counts.

Another direct hit and Komander feels so close to his first points in the C2!
Komander hurries to get in the ring, but then slides out to start a new ring count. Komander climbs again while Brody rises. Komander watches Brody slide in, then tightrope walks to CIELITO LINDO!! But that was on Brody’s back! Komander pushes Brody but that’s a lot of dead weight to push! Brody sits up but Komander KICKS him! Komander roars, the fans fire up, handspring- TORTURE RACK! Brody flips Komander around, GONZO BOMB!! Cover, Brody wins!!
Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)
If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10
