Adam Cole heads to the ring!
Raleigh fires up as he, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly are here together. Cole gets a mic and asks, “Who’s ready for story time with Adam Cole, baybay? 2021 was a great year for the three of us. And 2022 is going to be even better. Because let me remind each and every one of you, I have not been pinned since I’ve been here in AEW. I have not been made to submit, and I am undefeated in singles competition. And on top of that, the boys are back together!” Cole, Kyle and Fish, the baddest team on God’s green! “Boy sand girls, it’s a new era here in AEW.” But wait, whoa. The Young Bucks would like to know what’s going on here.
Seeing how Matt Jackson kicked COVID’s ass in just two days, he and Nick could join them. Thanks for the invite. Kyle says with love and respect, there was no invite for the Bucks in Jacksonville, but that didn’t stop them and “Landon” from going to the ring during their match with the Super Friends. They didn’t need help winning that. Fair, fair. Kyle is right. Matt and Nick say reDRagon are one of the best team sin pro-wrestling. They didn’t need that help. The Bucks will play nice. But they want to make one thing clear: “This is our company. We are the longest reigning AEW Tag Team Champions in company history.” And their new year’s resolution is to get those belts back.
Wow so funny, reDRagon has that same resolution! Fish, tell ’em! Yes, the exact same resolution. And there is not a single team on this planet that will stand between Kyle, Fish and those titles. And that includes the Bucks. Cole is excited, and this is what they need: some friendly competition. This is what makes them the very best! It’s what makes them the greatest faction in AEW. Just look at the other factions. Best Friends? “What an absolute joke!” But speaking of, here come Best Friends! Orange Cassidy, Trent, Chuck Taylor, Wheeler Yuta and even Kris Statlander get in the ring with Cole and his friends.
“For the love of God, would someone cut that stupid music off?” Cole tells Cassidy, “What could you possibly have to say that is of any importance whatsoever?” Cassidy then TACKLES Cole! And the fight is on! Cassidy rains down forearms on Cole while Trent SPEARS Matt! Kyle and Fish go after Yuta, Nick SUPERKICKS Trent! Chuck gives Nick a SEXY CHUCKIE KNEE! Kyle hits Chuck with a ROLLING ELBOW! Fish throws Yuta out, but Cassidy is still raining down on Cole! The Bucks and reDRagon take the fight to the others, but Cutler gets in, to be DUMPED out onto them all! But Cole LOW BLOWS Cassidy!
But Statlander stands in Cole’s way! Cole talks trash, but here comes Britt Baker! Britt CLOBBERS Statlander to hit a CURB STOMP! DMD then sets Cassidy up for Cole’s SUPERKICK! And then THE BOOM! Cole and all his friends stand tall, and then he sets up for the Bucks. But before they can give Cole kisses on the cheek, Britt steps in to give him a kiss on the lips! Will AEW be all about The Boom from now until the end of time?
AEW takes a closer look at Wardlow.
“They call him, ‘The Conductor of Violence,’ who strikes fear in all men. He is the maestro who orchestrates destruction with his encore of violence, over and over and over and over again. But is this timeless tale with an unforgettable ending doomed to end in tragedy? Or will his Symphony of Powerbombs live forever?” We find out if this is the night the music dies, after the break.
CM Punk VS Wardlow w/ MJF!
The Best of the World just wants a fight with the Salt of the Earth, but Maxwell Jacob Friedman decided to hide behind another member of Pinnacle. Will the War Dog once again do MJF’s dirty work? Or will Punk remove one more piece on the board to leave MJF exposed?

But Wardlow gets Punk up, POWERBOMB! Wardlow fires up and MJF mockingly asks, “What’s the matter, Punk?!” Wardlow gets Punk up again, POWERBOMB! That’s one encore, are we going to see the symphony?

And he jabs his finger into Wardlow’s chest! Wardlow grabs that finger, MJF tries to remind him who the boss is, but here comes Shawn Spears! The Chair Man keeps the peace in the Pinnacle, but Wardlow storms off. Can not even an accountabilibuddy help patch up the damage MJF’s ego has done?
Dante Martin VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs w/ Ricky Starks!
Angel Dorado was almost Angel Diamante if not for Absolute making sure he didn’t win the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Will Team Taz’s personal titan make sure Dante doesn’t even get a chance at another match after tonight? Or can Dante use what he’s learned since his previous match with Hobbs on top of his incredible speed to finally turn the tide?
Dante and Hobbs don’t even wait for the bell, Dante rushes Hobbs at the ramp and a brawl is on! Hobbs knees Dante, throws him in, the bell rings, and Dante ENZIGURIS! And ENZIGURIS!

Lethal gets Dante outta there! Taz protests but Lethal evened the numbers! Will Dante have allies to help him fight Team Taz?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
James Marvez says Pro-Wrestling Illustrated named The Inner Circle as their Faction of the Year for 2021. Jericho says that is a great honor, but it is no surprise. Since day one in AEW, their mission statement never wavered. They promised to take over the company, the country, and the world! They are the biggest, baddest band of blood brothers this world has ever seen. That is why during Sammy Guevara’s match with Daniel Garcia, if “Terrence & Philip” get involved, the Inner Circle will cut them down. Eddie Kingston pops in and says hey to Jericho. Still talking about all those guys? Jericho should mind his business.
Kingston says no one cares about Sammy, especially not Kingston. Kingston just wants after Garcia, because of what he did to Kingston’s knee. It’s all messed up. As for Santana & Ortiz, the reason they’re not world tag team champions is Jericho. Jericho tells Kingston to shut his mouth. Kingston tells Jericho to make him. Jericho says the Inner Circle is family. It doesn’t matter what happens on the streets of New York or in the indies, but in the big leagues, The Inner Circle dominates! They and Sammy Guevara! So Kingston can just get outta here! Santana speaks up, saying they should get this s*it together.
Kingston asks Ortiz his opinion, but Ortiz just leaves. Jake Hager follows them out, and Kingston says so much for Jericho’s brothers. Jericho says he is going to be in Sammy’s corner. If Kingston wants to be ringside, fine. But keep in mind, if 2point0 gets involved, Jericho will kick their asses. If Kingston gets involved, Jericho might kick his ass, too. Kingston’s begging Jericho to try. Jericho says Kingston can GFY for now, but will the Mad King do no such thing?
MJF storms back out in a tantrum.
“I hate to interrupt this program, even though I’m the only real star on it… You keep your hillbilly mouths shut while I’m talking!” MJF knows Punk is still backstage and in a world of pain. But he won, congrats. Fans call MJF an A-Hole, but MJF knows that Punk got powerbomb’d to oblivion! That was a fluke victory over an oaf! But Punk won’t win next week! MJF makes sure Punk takes his first L in AEW! Next week, MJF will give us the watch we’ve all been waiting for! NO more running, no more hiding! You want that match?! Then next week, CM PUNK VS SHAWN SPEARS! Even when he’s pissed, MJF is a coward. Will the Chair Man find a way to stop the Best in the World?
Cole and friends speak.
Kyle asks Landon to let them know when they’re live. Matt & Nick correct him, it’s Brandon. You sure? Cutler is touched the Bucks stood up for him, but then they tell him to shut up. Cole tells Best Friends that these five have whooped them over and over and over again. It’s gotten to a point where it’s just getting silly. Even Kris Statlander. She thought she was safe, but guess again. Britt walks in to say hey. Adam and Britt would officially like to challenge Statlander & Cassidy to a Mixed Tag Match next Dynamite. See you there! Cut, Brandon Butler. No, it’s Cutler. SHUT UP, BLANDON! Shut up! No eye contact!
Hangman Page is here!
The AEW World Champion is here, having gotten past Bryan Danielson with last week’s TBS premiere. But then, who is next? Hangman gets the mic, and he says, “These past two months, I’ve spent 90 minutes in this ring against one of the best in the world. I have poured sweat, I have spilt enough blood, to float a battleship, all for this. The ultimate prize, the most important thing in all of wrestling, the AEW World Championship. And it’s still mine, dammit!” Fans cheer for that. But Hangman says 90 minutes is just not enough. It is a new year, and the records have all reset. The Hangman needs a new challenger.
“I really hate to interrupt,” says Dan Lambert. Hangman wants someone to shoot him now. But Lambert says seeing Hangman in the ring reminds him of the cowboys he used to watch. Guys like Cowboy Bill Watts from Oklahoma, Stan “The Lariat” Hansen of Borger, Texas, and Terry & Dory Funk Jr. from Amarillo. Now we get Hangman, “The East Coast Urban Cowboy” all the fans can relate to. Hangman says he’s here for a challenger. If Scorpio or Ethan want a shot, they can just come and tell him to his face. He definitely didn’t want to hear from the walking Facebook profile like Lambert. So he can just go ahead and spit out what he wants to say.
Lambert wants Hangman to understand, he came out here to compliment Hangman. Lambert gets how good Hangman is. Those matches with Bryan are among the best Lambert’s seen in 40+ years of being a fan. But the thing Lambert respects most is the fact that Hangman didn’t take the Cody Rhodes path of backstage politics. When Hangman won the title and the idiot fans chanted, “You Deserve It,” Hangman looked them all in the eye and told them, “No, I earned it.” And Hangman is right, he has earned everything he has in this company. Except this persona he’s using as a gimmick.
That guy in the Village People can put on jeans and a hat and sing YMCA, but that doesn’t make him a cowboy. So Hangman should do himself a favor: Keep the title, the money, the adulation of the fans, and all that comes with it. But for the love of God, stop disrespecting the legacies of the Dick Murdochs and Blackjack Mulligans that preceded Hangman, because anybody coming from the Carolinas or the Virginias pretending they’re something they aren’t “just comes across as being completely full of cowboy sh*t.”
Fans boo but Hangman wants to get this right. Growing up on a farm 90 miles from here, with 100 head of cattle, isn’t cowboy sh*t? Turning down six figure contracts to come here, help start this company, then win the world title isn’t cowboy sh*t? Well, Hangman came looking for a challenger but got Lambert instead, so how about Lambert get in the ring and let Hangman shove his size 12s up his ass and show him who the real cowboy is? Well that ain’t happening, so Lambert will take his leave. But here comes LANCE ARCHER! The Murderhawk Monster still has unfinished business with Lambert!
Lambert gets in the ring, he says this is the company’s fault! Lambert even had milk cartons out for Archer! The world champion is right there, don’t miss this opportunity! Archer reels back, but he CLOBBERS Hangman! Maybe he heard Lambert at the end there! Lambert runs away, Archer stomps away on Hangman! Archer JAMS Hangman with a chair! And then SMACKS him on the back with it! Lambert counts his lucky stars as Archer sets the chair up, puts Hangman in a corner and fires a BIG haymaker! Archer hoists Hangman up top, inverted crucifix, BLACKOUT onto the chair!! Fans boo but will Archer crush Hangman and take the title from the wreckage?
Backstage interview with the Arn, Brock Anderson & Lee Johnson.
Tony Schiavone is sure they’ll all be scouting tonight’s TNT Championship main event, but this is quite the tag team, too. Arn is so proud of Brock & Lee, and they know it. Arn just told them that they’ll experience something they haven’t. You can smell it, you can feel it. This is Four Horsemen country. But then FTR walk in and applaud, because Arn is right. Tully Blanchard says you can smell it and feel it. But if you wanna relive it, get rid of the deadweight and join The Pinnacle. Cash Wheeler says they may be blood, but The Pinnacle can do more for the Anderson name than Brock ever could.
Dax Harwood is pretty sure he’s the son Arn wishes he had. But how about the greatest tag team on God’s green earth take on Brock & Lee? Brock’s fine with it. Lee says let’s do it. Tully and Arn shake on it and Dax says, “See you next week, Dad.” Will the Son of the Enforcer and Big Shotty be able to shoot down FTR?
AEW hears from Jade Cargill & Mark Sterling.
Sterling says Jade did it just as they said she would, and now she has the TBS Championship. And having a title means more money in the winner’s purse! Jade says for herself that she did everything she said she would when she first stepped foot in AEW. This is her title, and we are all watching #ThatBitchShow. Who will be the first to step up and challenge Jade for that title? Will they even stand a chance of taking it from her?
Hikaru Shida VS Serena Deeb!
The Full Metal Warrior and the Professor of Professional Wrestling have gone back and forth, and things have only gotten meaner and nastier. Will this fourth time be the final time? Or just another in a long series of showdowns?
Speaking of nasty, Deeb attacks Shida from behind on the ramp with a CHOP BLOCK! Deeb takes Shida’s kendo stick, kicks Shida down, then stalks Shida. “You want this?!” But Shida kicks the stick away! Deeb drags Shida up, EuroUppers, then gets the leg to SMASH it against the steel steps! Deeb goes in the ring to soak up the heat and the ref checks on Shida. Deeb wants Shida to get in the ring and Shida refuses to let this stop her. Shida hops up on one good foot, drags herself up the steps and into the ring, and the bell sounds! Deeb goes fight after Shida in the corner, stomps a mudhole, but lets off as the ref counts 4.
Fans boo but Deeb just drags Shida up to put the good leg on the rope and DRAGON SCREW the bad one! Deeb puts the foot on the ropes for a STRADDLE ATTACK! And another! And then another! Fans boo more but Deeb just soaks it up. Shida gets up to throw a body shot but she falls over on the one good leg. Deeb stomps away on the bad leg, then hits a GROUND DRAGON SCREW! Deeb digs at the kneepad to bring it down but Shida throws hands. Deeb SLAPS Shida, fans rally up but Deeb tears the KT tape away! The ref reprimands, but Deeb gets an arm. Deeb turns Shida over into the omoplata, and she SMASHES away on the knee! SERENITY LOCK!!
Shida endures, reaches out, but the ref is calling it!
Winner: Serena Deeb, by referee stoppage
Deeb wins by stacking the deck before the match even started. Shida is pissed, she didn’t give up, but the medic gets in the ring. Deeb gets Shida’s kendo stick back, and she storms up to swing at the ref! And at the medic! They get out of the ring, and Deeb fires off on Shida’s leg! Deeb wants to destroy Shida, but more referees rush out to stop her! Shida’s friends, Anna Jay, Tay Conti and Skye Blue also go out to make sure Deeb doesn’t go back for more. Deeb says mission accomplished, but will she have to watch her back for when Shida returns for revenge?
Backstage interview with Christian Cage & Jurassic Express.
Schiavone talks with Captain Charisma and the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, and that is music to Christian’s ears. First off, well wishes to Rey Fenix, they hope he heals up and comes back soon. Schiavone asks Jungle Boy what’s next, and he says it’s whoever wants a piece. JB & Luchasaurus worked hard to get the titles, they’ll work even harder to keep the titles. So any of the top five teams, they can come get some. In walk the Dark Order’s John Silver & Alex Reynolds. They want some top five? Christian says yes, so if these to happen to see one, send them their way. Whoa, okay. They are top five! Top five hunks, top five meat, top five tag team!
And if you’re throwing out challengers, what about Friday? They can go on a double date: Jurassic Express with Silver’s & Reynold’s fists! JB says that’s good to him, and Luchasaurus roars his agreement. The tag champions are going on a Rampage, will they make it through Number Three and Number Four to take on the rest of the Top Five?
Matt Hardy w/ Private Party VS Penta El Zero M w/ Alex Abrahantes!
Carolina’s own Big Money Matt is here, and he says, “Penta, I’m so sorry your brother got injured in the downfall of the Lucha Bros. But your downfall truly began when my team of five beat your team of five a few weeks ago on Dynamite.” So tonight, in Hardy’s backyard of Raleigh, and in front of his beautiful family, Hardy will DELETE Penta and send him to the hospital to join Fenix. Will Penta show that Cero Miedo can’t be deleted, even in Hardy Country?
The bell rings, Penta and Hardy circle as fans rally up. Penta tells Hardy, “LISTEN! CERO! MIEDO!” But Hardy counters with “DELETE!” “CERO! MIEDO!” “DELETE!” Repeat. Penta decides to dramatically take off his glove, tosses it to Alex, touchdown! “CERO! MIE-” DELETE! Penta sobats, headlocks, Hardy powers out and runs Penta over! Hardy spams DELETE, but runs into a SUPERKICK! Penta struts to the corner, stands Hardy up to run and… CHOP! Uno! Penta CHOPS again, and says dos! Penta swings but Hardy dodges to CHOP, and AEW goes picture in picture!
Hardy CHOPS again, and he says that’s two! Hardy CHOPS and he gets three! Hardy whips, Penta goes up and over in the corner to clothesline, GAMANGIRI, and then sweep the legs for a running SUPERKICK! Hardy bails out, Quen & Kassidy are there, but Penta runs in, to DIVE into a haymaker! Hardy drags Penta out to RAM him into steel steps! Hardy then bumps Penta off the apron, and again, and then whips him into railing! Penta slumps down, Hardy refreshes the count, mocks Cero Miedo and throws down fists! Hardy puts Penta back in, soaks up the cheers and jeers, then scoops to SLAM Penta down! Hardy goes up the corner, powers up, and hits the AX HANDLE! Cover, TWO!

Hardy had hometown advantage but it wasn’t enough! Alex gets in the ring with Penta to call out Malakai Black! “Malakai! I’m going to show you something about respect.” Because Penta has CERO- Oh no! The lights go out! And when they come back up, Malakai is in the ring! And he BOOTS Alex! He and Penta brawl, Malakai throws knees, but Penta SUPERKICKS! ROUNDHOUSE from Malakai!

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Leyla Hirsch & Red Velvet.
Schiavone is with this trio as this Friday, they will be on Rampage in a 3v3. But Schiavone wants to talk about Statlander teaming with Cassidy for Dynamite’s Mixed Tag Match next week. Statlander says that’s right, Schiavone’s good friend, Britt, is- Leyla speaks up, wanting them to not be selfish. They have the Rampage match first. Shouldn’t Statlander focus on that first? Selfish? Statlander isn’t the one that is always trying to get the pin. Statlander wants to help all her friends. If she couldn’t handle it, she wouldn’t have accepted it, so just let Statlander make her own decisions.
Velvet speaks up to keeps the peace. If they even stand a chance this Friday against Nyla Rose, Penelope Ford & The Bunny, Velvet needs them both to get it together. Be cool. Hirsch and Statlander promise to keep this civil, but will it only become a civil war on Rampage?
The Acclaimed VS Bear Country!
Max Caster & Anthony Bowens are currently the #1 ranked team in AEW, with the most tag wins in AEW history already at 32. And as always, Platinum Max has a diss rap on deck. “The Acclaimed leaving opponents all motionless. They ain’t got a shot, like Novak Djokovic. We got Carolina jumpin’, and Bear Country’s got erectile dysfunction. It’s just what I imagined. Y’all look way worse after the 10 Year Challenge. And this goes out to Darby & Sting. Y’all’re too bitch to even walk in our ring.” Bowens shouts to Raleigh that The Acclaimed have arrived, but will Bear Boulder & Bear Bronson take that top spot from them?
The bell rings and Bear Country runs The Acclaimed over with stereo shoulder tackles! Boulder & Bronson DECK each of them, then they get each of them up! Bronson scoop SLAMS Caster, then Boulder trophy lifts Bowens to SLAM him onto Caster! Bronson SENTONS them both, and fans fire up as Bronson drags Bowens over. Bronson bumps Bowens off the buckle, tags Boulder in, and then whips Boulder in for a back elbow! Boulder feeds Bowens to Bronson’s own back elbow, then Boulder drags Bowens back up. Tag to Bronson, Boulder feeds Bowens to Bronson’s scoop. Bowens slips out to shove the Bears into each other!
Tag to Caster, then Bowens fires off with haymakers and CHOPS on repeat! Caster climbs, Bowens SUPERKICKS Bronson, then Caster CROSSBODIES! Caster air guitars and fires up as AEW goes picture in picture.
Caster chokes Bronson on the ropes while also throwing down punches. The ref counts, Caster lets off, and Bowens chokes Bronson on the ropes! Bowens gets away with it, Caster throws hands but Bronson fights out of the Acclaimed corner! Caster drop toeholds and basement dropkicks Bronson down! Cover, TWO! Caster CLUBS Bronson, bumps him off buckles, and he tags Bowens in. The Acclaimed mugs Bronson, then double suplexes him! Cover, TWO! Bowens throws forearms and elbows on Bronson over and over, CLUBS Bronson down, then says, “Everyone loves The Acclaimed!”
Bowens drags Bronson up, but Bronson resists the whip to reach for Boulder. Bowens holds on, Bronson throws forearms, but Bowens holds on. Bowens ducks a forearm for a straitjacket NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Bowens grows frustrated while Bronson grits his teeth and shakes his head. Bowens gets Bronson up, he tags Caster, and The Acclaimed mug Bronson more. Caster lets off as the ref counts, then he tags Bowens back in. They mug Bronson more, Bowens turns Bronson and hits another NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Bowens wraps on a chinlock and he grinds Bronson down.
Bronson endures, fights up, and AEW returns to single picture as he throws back elbows. Bowens knees low, reels Bronson in, but Bronson is too big for even the Five Tool Player to bomb! Bronson back drops then SITS on Bowens! Fans fire up, Bronson crawls, hot tags to Caster and Boulder! Boulder rallies on the Acclaimed, DOUBLE LARIATS! Boulder scoops and SLAMS Caster, then FLAPJACKS Bowens! Caster staggers over, Boulder gets him and Bowens in choke grips. The Acclaimed both kick free, then run, into DOUBLE SWINGING SHOTS! Tag to Bronson, and the Bears combine! Bear Electric Chair, but Bowens drags Caster away from the BEAR BOMB!
Bowens dumps Boulder out but he comes right back, only for Bowens’ ROLLING ELBOW to take him down! But Bronson clotheslines Bowens out of the ring! Caster rolls Bronson up, TWO! Bronson DECKS Caster! Caster goes to a corner, Bronson runs in, but Caster dodges and Bronson hits buckles! Caster distracts the ref, Bowens HOTSHOTS Bronson down! Caster hurries up top, MIC DROP ELBOW! Cover, The Acclaimed win!
Winners: The Acclaimed, by pinfall
The number one team stays the number one team! They’re rolling on, but will Bowens & Caster look to go from platinum to gold? Wait, as they exit, it’s the snow, the crow, and… STIIIIING! Sting has his baseball bat and he backs The Acclaimed back down the ramp. Darby FLIES in from the ring!! Down goes Caster, and then Sting CLOBBERS Bowens! Bowens crawls for his boombox but Sting SMACKS it with the bat! Darby puts Caster back in the ring, runs in corner to corner, COFFIN SPLASH! Sting joins Darby in the ring, Sting drags Caster up into the SCORPION DEATH DROP! Will the Icon and the Relentless One prove The Acclaimed are all talk?
AEW hears from PAC.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Bastard. Your sight may never return. You may never see again.” Again… Here we go again. Pac is alone and desolate. Is this just another setback? Is it ever going to come back? Malakai may have blinded Pac, but he sees everything. “And it’s funny. I’m not angry. I appreciate the blessing.” Now Pac’s perspective is different. And his vision has never been so clear. Will the blinded Bastard look to tear down the House of Black soon enough?
Backstage interview with Matt Hardy & Private Party.
Schiavone knows this loss wasn’t what Hardy wanted in his home state, and Hardy says no, it isn’t. This is very frustrating. Maybe Hardy is too focused on the future of AEW, the HFO and his team. Maybe Hardy should focus more on Hardy, because something has to change. But then in walks Andrade El Idolo. Tranquilo, Hardy, take it easy. Penta is not worth it. Andrade offers Hardy water and whiskey. Hardy hands the boys the alcohol. Andrade does agree, Hardy needs to focus. He is a businessman, and Andrade is a businessman, and they both love money. Andrade wants to work with Hardy on a deal. This will benefit Hardy, and of course it will benefit Andrade.
Hardy is intrigued. He’d love to talk business with Andrade. Not in front of the world, though. They’ll go to Hardy’s office. Is Big Money Matt moving on from Private Party to El Idolo?
Interim AEW TNT Championship: Sammy Guevara VS Daniel Garcia!
Cody Rhodes took the title on Christmas, but wasn’t medically cleared to defend it for Battle of the Belts. The Spanish God defeated the Natural substitute, but now has Red Death in his face. Will Sammy still be the one waiting for Cody’s return? Or will Garcia take that away from Sammy and move on to the American Nightmare?
Jericho and Kingston are uneasily both in Sammy’s corner, though 2point0 apparently stayed in the back. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who leaves Carolina with the gold!
Garcia and Sammy tie up right away, break, then tie up again. Garcia waistlocks, Sammy headlocks for the takeover, but Garcia headscissors. Garcia moves around, pops free, but Garcia SLAPS! Sammy SLAPS, Garcia goes for a leg but Sammy drags him down and the two scrap. Sammy has the top mount but Garcia still hits back. Fans are fired up as Sammy has Garcia in a corner and the hands keep flying. The ref calls for the break but Garcia gets a cheap shot! The ref reprimands, Garcia drags Sammy up to EuroUpper! Garcia CLUBS Sammy on the neck, then brings Sammy around to snapmare and KICK in the back!
Sammy gets up in a huff to kick, snapmare and KICK in return! Garcia is up, he SLAPS, but Sammy SLAPS back. Garcia is rocked, Sammy clotheslines him right out! Sammy then runs and TORNILLOS to take Garcia out! Sammy poses on the floor and fans are all fired up!

Garcia’s pals failed to help him, and David Crockett gives this title to Sammy. But then 2point0 come back for more as they attack Sammy! Kingston and Jericho get in! Jericho CLOBBERS 2point0, and he uses Floyd the baseball bat on Parker! Kingston doesn’t get his turn, and he’s pissed with Jericho! Kingston says Jericho is selfish, but they’re both forgetting about their common enemies! Will Garcia & 2point0 continue to take advantage while the Mad King and Le Champion keep fighting each other?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of Dynamite here, and a lot of great story blending as usual. Cole and his many mutual friends had a really good segment, and I like that Kyle kept up the gag of calling Cutler “Landon.” And I like that this is how they have Cole and Britt interact onscreen, them beating up Cassidy and Statlander. Their Mixed Tag next week is going to be really good, and it was also good that Statlander having to balance her many mutual friends is putting stress on the tension already going on between her and Hirsch. The Six Woman Tag of Hirsch, Velvet & Statlander VS Nyla, Ford & Bunny is going to be really good, but could also be the moment that breaks up the friendship.
We got a really good Wardlow vignette, and what great stuff with him, Punk and MJF. MJF actually encouraging Wardlow to do more damage, then demanding Wardlow do more damage, and it costing Punk was a classic trope in action. I was really hoping tonight was Wardlow’s night to turn on MJF, but it seems Wardlow is still in The Pinnacle and he could still wait until he wins the TNT title to clobber MJF with. And then I totally forgot about Spears, I should’ve known MJF would use him, too. As for the rest of The Pinnacle, I like that FTR & Tully confront Arn. Arn’s got a team he’s coaching, Tully has a team he’s coaching, pitting them against each other is great stuff.
Dante VS Hobbs was great stuff, and I really find it surprising that it was Jay Lethal who helped Dante against Hobbs and Starks. Lio Rush is surely still dealing with family things after his grandmother’s death, so he couldn’t be here to obviously support Dante. Lethal joining Lio and Dante would be a great next step for Lio’s faction and Lethal’s time in AEW. Hangman Page had a great segment, even with Lambert involved, because Hangman had great burns on Lambert. Lance Archer returning was a great surprise, and what a swerve with him going after Hangman. Rankings wise, Archer might still have to fight his way up to the world title, but even just one of those contender eliminator matches between Hangman and Archer is going to be awesome.
Cargill and Sterling have a decent promo but Cargill’s lines were literally recycled from a video package we got on Battle of the Belts. I feel like we could’ve gotten her squashing a rando seen on Elevation or Dark in this same space of time to let actions speak for her. We did get Shida VS Deeb as the literal midcard match here, and I appreciate the story beat of Deeb basically cheating to win because of the pre-match attack, but couldn’t AEW have given this match a little more time to really milk Deeb’s viciousness and Shida’s toughness? I do appreciate that Shida has allies stepping up for her, and Deeb will probably tear into Skye Blue just as bad as she did Shida.
Good promo from Christian Cage & Jurassic Express, as well as the interaction with Silver & Reynolds. Their tag title match on Rampage is going to be great stuff, but I’m pretty sure Jurassic Express wins. The Acclaimed are #1 team for now, with the win over Bear Country, but that felt like filler just to give Sting & Darby a reason to come out and attack. What happened to the diss track video? Caster promised it, I hope we get it on Rampage or next week’s Dynamite to hype up the match with Sting & Darby that The Acclaimed are going to end up losing. Then maybe Darby & Sting work their way up towards the titles for a killer match with Jurassic Express.
Hardy VS Penta was great stuff, and Penta won big here. Everything with Malakai and the Blonds and then Brody King showing up was great. The House of Black is building, but I almost thought Julia Hart was going to reveal she’s a member of the team since she was the one telling everyone to stop beating Malakai up. Pac has a really good vignette, I can’t wait to see him take off the blindfold to have crazy looking eyes just like Malakai, and then they have an awesome match. Then I like that Andrade is making a deal with Hardy, and honestly, the HFO has spun its wheels so letting everyone loose might help Private Party and The Blade & The Butcher get going in the tag division again.
Kingston had a good interaction with the Inner Circle, and I like the parts Kingston and Jericho played in the main event. Sammy and Garcia had an awesome match, really gritty stuff, and commentary even reminded us how young these two are, so these two are only going to get better. This could even be a feud that propels these two through the next few years. Sammy winning was natural, as was 2point0 going after him to get Kingston and Jericho involved in the ring. This is still leading me to think of the “can they coexist?” tag match of Kingston & Jericho against 2point0, and that could go any which way. We might even end up with Kingston VS Jericho if 2point0 gets the better of them.
My Score: 8.6/10

AEW sends thoughts and prayers to Rebel.
As reported and posted on social media, Tanea Brooks, aka Rebel, was diagnosed with a terminal case of ALS.

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
Renee Paquette found Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida returning backstage, and she tells them that they had an unfortunate loss in the tag match with Divine Dominion. Renee knows Kris missed out on making history with becoming the Triple Crown Champion, but then Shida says they almost had those tag belts! Shida doesn’t blame Kris, it wasn’t her fault. Kris gets mad and shoves Shida to the wall! Kris says of course it wasn’t her fault! It was Shida, because Shida didn’t listen, kicked Kris in the stomach for that suplex, and then kept tagging in! Shida apologizes but Kris says that’s enough out of her!
Kris was THIS close to making history, and Shida ruined everything! Shida apologizes again, and says they’ve been friends for almost seven YEARS! Shida promises to make this up to Kris. Kris storms off, but what can Shida do to keep that promise?
Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS MXM TV!
Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong are still the AEW World Trios Champions after facing yet another Don Callis Family formation, but now they’re preparing for Dynamite Double Jeopardy on Wednesday. Will facing Mansoor, Mason Madden & Johnny TV be more than enough to prepare Cassidy for Dax Harwood? Or will MXM TV finally have their own chance at the AEW World Trios titles?
The trios sort out and Kyle steps up against Mansoor. The bell rings, they circle, and Mansoor shows off his drop steps. He might also be mocking Kyle as he drops down and puts up a leg guard. The two circle, and Kyle KICKS Mansoor’s leg! Mansoor tags to Mason, and Mason also mocks Kyle with a kung-fu stance. Kyle just KICKS Mason’s leg! Mason shouts, “OW!” Mason tags Johnny and the fans cheer. Johnny and Kyle circle, Johnny avoids a kick and goes for the leg. Johnny cartwheels but Kyle KICKS him in the chest!

Cassidy, Kyle & Roddy proved they’re more than #TVReady, they’re fight ready! But will Cassidy earn himself and the team a shot at the tag titles? Or will Dax earn FTR & Ciampa a shot at the trios titles? Wait, speaking of, Tommaso Ciampa is here! The Psycho Killer stares The Conglomeration down, then grins. He says it is just a matter of time, but will he and FTR really become the Top Guys in both tag and trios divisions?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?
Ace Austin & Juice Robinson VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia!
The Bang Bang Gang has been struggling to stay afloat, and now they go up against The Death Riders’ Decoder & Dragon Slayer! Will Yuta & Garcia keep the momentum going from what Moxley and the others did earlier tonight? Or can these Collision Cowboys ride off into the Peoria sunset with a win?
Moxley joins commentary for this match, and he admits that 10 Man Tag was a tornado of a match, where you just hang out, pray, and trust your skills to see you through.

Yuta puts Ace back in, high-fives and fist bumps Marina, and Garcia stands on Ace! The ref counts, Garcia counts along, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as the Death Riders continue to mug Ace. They shove him to the corner, then Garcia sends Yuta in for the BODY BLOCK! Garcia LARIATS, Yuta ELBOWS, repeat! The Cycle of Violence continues until Ace BOOTS Yuta and ELBOWS Garcia! The fans fire up as Ace hurries, but the Death Riders THROW him back! And they BLAST Juice together!

Yuta DIVES, but Juice uses Garcia as a shield! the fans cheer the friendly fire, and Jucie SMACKS Yuta off the desk! Yuta is busted right open! Juice fires up, the fans pump it up with him, and Juice JABS! JABS! JABS! “JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!” Garcia gets up, but he gets the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Yuta runs up, but Juice JABS, JABS, JABS! Marina gets up, and Juice thinks about it. But Yuta rolls Juice up! TWO and Yuta bumps into Marina! The fans cheer as Juice then O’Conner Rolls, TWO!

And if you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for ya!” “GUNNS UP!!” Marina is pissed, but will The Death Riders settle this with Bang Bang Gang soon enough?
Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?
The bell rings and Skye just BOOTS Nixi down! Then she scuffs Nixi, talks trash on her, and pie faces her around. Skye TOSSES Nixi out, then runs up, only for Nixi to BOOT her back!

She drops down, DESCENT INTO MADNESS! Nixi TAPS, Skye wins!
Winner: Skye Blue, by submission
Skye shows her arsenal is deepening, just like the darkness in her heart! Will all parts of the Triangle of Madness soon be shining with gold?
AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS Hook w/ The Opps!
The Jet used MJF’s own tricks against him to keep this title, and now he has his shot at Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship this Wednesday. But will Knight still be bringing this gold with him? Or will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil finally make himself the Face of TNT?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see whose luggage will be a little heavier as they leave Illinois!
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Knight and Hook circle, tie up, and Hook slips around to waistlock. Hook picks a leg, trips Knight, then eggs him on. The fans boo but Knight brushes it off. Knight asks Shibata if he taught Hook that trick. Shibata ignores Knight, but Knight and Hook tie up again. Hook headlocks, wrenches, then wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and wrenches to snapmare. Knight drops a KNEE on the arm! Hook scrambles away but Knight calls to Shibata, saying he knows Shibata knows these tricks.

Knight taunts Hook & Shibata, but Shibata coaches Hook up. Hook kicks low, ROCKS Knight, then fires body shots and backhands in the corner! Knight turns things around to return the body shots and forearms! Knight UPPERCUTS, the fans fire up, but Hook avoids the haymaker! Hook fires more body shots, then a HEADBUTT! Hook wobbles, too, but he still soaks up heat from the fans. Hook stalks Knight to a corner, brings him around to whip, but Knight grabs ropes to stop. Knight DUMPS Hook out, then DROPKICKS him down! Shibata coaches Hook, Knight aims to PLANCHA, but Hook dodges!
Shibata stands in the way, Knight asks what’s up, but Shibata runs up! Knight dodges, goes up the steps, but Hook dodges that! EXPLODER into the fans! The other fans cheer as Knight is down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him! Hook argues with the ref as a further distraction so Shibata can stand Knight up. Hook KNEES Knight, then whips him hard into railing! Hook CLUBS Knight, soaks up heat, then goes to the ring. Hook argues with the ref more, but that lets Shibata line up a shot! Shibata BOOTS Knight into the crowd! The fans cheer again, they don’t mind Collision being interactive.

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10

The Jet called out The Scumbag for sneaking away with a win when they battled for the AEW World Championship, and wants to prove that this title is for truly the best wrestlers! But will Knight be #2Fly2Stop? Or will Maxwell Jacob Friedman look to put more gold on his resumé?
The introductions are made, and MJF makes sure Justin Roberts says, “He doesn’t hail from a white trash state like Virginia…” The belt is raised, and we see who is truly the Face of TNT!

Knight FLIES and that’s three for three! The fans cheer as Knight stands tall on the desk! Knight then brings MJF back into the ring, but MJF says let’s make it four. MJF goes to the ramp side, but Knight says might as well complete the set!
Knight aims, springboards, and FLYING LARIATS MJF down at the ramp! All four sides belong to Knight and the fans are thunderous! Knight drags MJF up, puts him in the ring a fifth time, and now MJF is stuck in the drop zone. Knight is up top, but then MJF just goes to the far side.

Knight powers up, crawls his way forward, but MJF drags him back to center! MJF sits deep, even CLUBS the leg, but Knight manages to turn over and BOOT MJF away!
The fans cheer as Knight hobbles up, but he still can’t run! MJF grins, then goes up the corner again, for the LONG- SUPERKICK! Knight suckers MJF in and hurries up the corner himself! The fans fire up for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! But Knight can’t make the pin from how he landed so hard! Knight crawls his way back to cover, TWO!!

But Knight LOW BLOWS MJF first!! Knight cradles, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
MJF is absolutely shocked! He got outsmarted! He got beat at his own dirty game! But then MJF CHOP BLOCKS Knight! The sore loser then scares the ref off before he winds up with that diamond ring. But wait! DARBY ALLIN literally drops in from the ceiling! Darby unhooks himself from the harness, then storms into the ring to dragon sleeper MJF! SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby makes sure justice is served, and the fans cheer him on as he gets a mic. MJF also gets a mic, and MJF says, “You people suck! Darby, real typical. Two peas in a pod! Two low life cheaters getting along, huh?!”
But joke’s on you! MJF doesn’t care about Knight, this match doesn’t count, he was barely trying! The fans laugh given how MJF’s red, sweaty and gasping for air. But MJF says what he cares about is HIS Triple B, HIS AEW World Championship! The fans boo but MJF says shut up! MJF wants his rematch! Darby paces, but the fans already chant “NO! NO! NO!” Darby also says, “NO! I’m not giving you that rematch until you put something on the line! And if I survive tonight with Brody King, I think I know exactly who deserves a shot next week.” MJF says MJF, but Darby looks to The Jet. The fans cheer but MJF says don’t even think about it!
But Darby indeed says, it will be Kevin Knight! The fans cheer, but then BRODY KING shows up! The King of Death stares The Devil down, then moves past him to join Darby and Knight in the ring. Brody and Darby stare down, then Brody says, “I have some bad news for you, Darby, cuz you’re not gonna survive tonight! And Jet, I got even worse news for you. Next week, you’re not gonna be facing Darby Allin. You’re gonna be facing the NEW AEW World Champion! ROOF!” The fans cheer that, and Brody returns backstage. The main event is gonna be wild, but who carries the title into next Wednesday?
Backstage interview with Adam Copeland & Christian Cage.
Renee Paquette is with The Rated R Superstar and Captain Charisma, and notes that Cage has a fractured arm, how is he feeling? Cage says his arm feels fine, don’t worry about the arm. Then they also have to address FTR upping the ante on their New York Street Fight by making it part I Quit match. Do they accept? Cage says, “We accept!” Cope says that’s a bit quick given Cage’s history with I Quit matches in AEW. Just saying… Cage says if he’s told you once, he’s told you a thousand times, he never said those words! He didn’t! Cage storms off, Cope says he totally did. But neither of them will say it again. Will C&C be more than ready to make the Top Guys give up?
The Brawling Birds VS Emily Jaye & Jordan Blade!
Jamie Hayter may have missed a week, but she’s back to 100% and ready to pick up where she left off. But will she and Alex Windsor be able to bounce back from losing to Thekla back to back? Or will they get caught off guard by Lady Stunner & The Ankle Breaker?
The teams sort out and Jamie steps to Jordan. They circle as the fans rally, then Jamie blocks a kick to ROCK Jordan! Then she BLASTS Emily just because before she BOOTS Jordan! Jamie bumps Jordan off buckles, DOUBLE CHOPS, then tags Alex. Alex DOUBLE CHOPS, then she tags Jamie! Another DOUBLE CHOP, and then tag back to Alex for a DOUBLE CHOP! Jamie tags back in, The Birds wind up, but Emily runs in! The Birds DOUBLE ELBOW Emily before they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Jordan! Jamie then hauls Jordan up to snap suplex! SLIDING LARIAT and then ground ‘n’ pound! Jamie brings Jordan up, Windsor joins in, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS!
Then they set up, The Birds DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Jordan sputters, right into TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! Cover, The Brawling Birds win!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
Yep, it’s like Jamie wasn’t even out a week! But will they make sure to settle the score with The Triangle of Madness on the road to Double or Nothing?
The Triangle of Madness speaks.
Thekla says everybody says Thekla, why do you always call people “dumb b*tches?” Thekla would love to stop calling people dumb b*tches, but there are just too many dumb b*tches in AEW! Skye Blue adds that what happened on Collision to Persephone was entirely The Birds’ fault. But getting mist in the face was the best thing to ever happen to Skye, so maybe it opens Perse’s eyes, too. So what happened to Jamie & Alex? They’re supposed to be the big bad Brawling Birds, but they just can’t seem to handle a little ol’ Toxic Spider. Thekla’s advice is to stick with the tag team, because when it is 1v1, Thekla is everything, and they are nothing!
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to be confident in her toxic dominance, but will someone come along and figure out how to wipe this spider out?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Ace Austin w/ Juice Robinson!
While The Rainmaker wants his fight with The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, he still has a duty to defend this title. Will Okada prove what a real champion looks like? Or will The Inevitable make him Fold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this gamble!
The bell rings and Callis admits, Ace has impressive quads. Too bad his hometown of Atlantic City is a dump. The fans tell off Callis even though he’s just on commentary, and the two tie up. Ace and Okada push each other back and forth, but Okada’s height becomes his leverage. Okada has Ace in a corner, but the ref counts. Okada lets off, then fakes the chop. Okada pats Ace on the shoulders, then stomps low! The fans are torn as Okada stomps a mudhole, but he backs off as the ref counts. Okada soaks up heat, then he ROCKS Ace with a forearm.

Ace then slips back inside to FLYING CHUCK! Okada staggers while the fans fire up again!
Okada bails out, Ace takes aim, but Okada avoids the plancha! Ace avoids the leg sweep, and Okada is stunned to see the handstand! Okada applauds, that’s impressive even to him. But then Ace DROPKICKS Okada again, then PLANCHAS! Okada avoids the impact, kicks low, and DDTS to the floor! Ace writhes and Okada grins while the fans applaud. The ref checks Ace while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Okada “apologizes” to the ref, then drags Ace up. Okada RAMS Ace into the railing! The ref reprimands, Okada rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Okada then RAMS Ace into more railing! Ace drops to his knees, Okada offers a high-five, and a young fan returns it. The fans applaud that, then Okada offers one to Callis. They high-five, cheapening the moment. Okada puts Ace in the ring, Ace checks his head, but Okada brings him up. Okada bumps Ace hard off buckles! Okada slaps Ace around, then stands him up to whip hard into buckles again! Ace falls back, checking his mouth, but his mouthguard did its part to protect his teeth.
Okada stands Ace up but Ace fires a body shot! And a CHOP! Ace then lifts Okada, but Okada fights free to kick and DDT! Okada pushes Ace over to the cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that but Okada brushes it off. Okada paces, sneaks a middle finger at the fans, then scuffs Ace. Okada kicks Ace around while Dynamite returns to single picture. Ace stands but Okada Alabama Lifts, tucks, and REVERSE NECKBREAKERS! The fans rally as Okada brings Ace up again. Okada scoops to SLAM Ace in the drop zone! Standard formula says Okada goes up, and he aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit, and Okada winds up… The Rainmaker Middle Finger!
Okada drags Ace up, wristlocks, but Ace fights the ripcord! They run around and tumble out of the ring! The fans rally up as Ace is on the apron. Okada stands, but he blocks Ace’s Penalty Kick! Okada THROWS Ace, Ace handstands again! Ace then handsprings over the sweep! PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up as Okada staggers around the way. Ace builds speed to FOSBURY FLOP!

Okada snarls, gut wrenches, and TOMBSTONES!! Okada roars because he’s not done! Okada ripcords for THE RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Ace was so close to the jackpot, but Okada isn’t one of the best ever for nothing! Mark Davis congratulates his Don Callis Family brother, while Callis himself SMOTHERS Ace for pushing Okada this far! Juice Robinson scares Callis off, but then wait! Konosuke Takeshita is here! The Alpha stares down Okada, and signals that he’s taking that title. Will Takeshita avenge himself for that Continental Classic controversy? Or will no one dry up the reign?
A country town is in chaos!
They’re all running away from the saloon as someone is putting the hurt on everybody. This man then picks up a wanted poster, the bounty for The Most Wanted, Bandido. And that man… is Swerve Strickland! Prince Nana hands Swerve his lighter, and Swerve burns the bounty. Is The Outlaw about to enter Swerve’s House, and never return?
The Death Riders speak.
While Marina Shafir grapples with Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia says, “This is who we are, and this is how we train. You don’t get to be the best out there until you’re the best in here first.” But then look who walks in! Will Ospreay is here, and Jon Moxley says he has arrived! Did Ospreay get cleared? Nope. Might as well say it now, though: Ospreay is going to Japan, he and the Empire boys have a big title match, and then we’ll see. Moxley says, “Loyalty. You are too good to be true.” Moxley looks to Pac, kinda pokes at him, then says first thing’s first: Moxley needs Ospreay to drop everything.
Everything up here in the mind. The clouds, the vision, the thing that makes you see things up there. Then everything in the heart. The tugs, the pulls. And then everything in the gut, the anger that burns a hole. Drop it all. Excess baggage, they don’t need it. The feelings Ospreay has about Moxley, drop ’em. They don’t need excess baggage. Moxley makes no promises, he is not a miracle worker. But when Moxley makes a commitment to something, he sees it through all the way to the end. All he asks is the same in return. Ospreay nods and says okay. Moxley says beautiful! Ospreay and Pac stare down, but they leave it at that.
Ospreay asks where’s the ring. Moxley says they don’t need a ring. They’re starting from the ground up. The rest is proprietary, so sorry. Moxley pushes the cameraman out of the room, and now the real work begins. Will, or rather, can Ospreay survive the Death Rider dungeon and come out a stronger wrestler on the other side?
FTR is here!
Fairfax boos as the AEW World Tag Team Champions and #BigStoke make their way to ringside, but to sit by commentary so they can watch this next match.
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage VS Roppongi Vice!
While C&C want revenge on FTR so badly, they’re willing to stake their career as a team on it, this is to settle a different score! Will this tag team that reeks of awesomeness bring down Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta? Or will tonight belong to Azucar & #JustTrent?
The teams sort out and Cage starts against Rocky. The fans rally while Cage keeps that bad arm away from Rocky. They tie up, Rocky wrenches the bad arm, then wristlocks. Cage powers Rocky to a corner, the ref counts, but Cage backs off at 4. The fans cheer while Cage talks trash on FTR. Cage and Rocky reset, feel things out, but Rocky kicks low.

Cage puts Trent against the post, but Cash Wheeler shouts at him. Cage grabs Cash through the ropes, but Trent wrenches the bad arm, to SWING it into the POST!
The fans boo as FTRPG Vice are talking trash on C&C, but even Stokely talks trash from commentary. Wait, who is this standing up in the matching hoodies? It’s THE CONGLOMERATION! The fans cheer as Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong make their presence known, and Stokely senses it. Stoke turns around to see Conglomeration having snacks, and Stoke takes a swing!? Cassidy dodges that easily, and then SMACKS Stoke with the popcorn! FTR is furious, but they end up brawling with Conglomeration! RPG Vice mugs Christian while Conglomeration handles FTR & Stokely, off into the crowd!

Cope seethes but he can’t do anything while Rocky traps Cage’s arm for an ELBOW JAMMER! Rocky then double wristlocks the arm and puts on the pressure. Cage endures, fights back up, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally again as Cage wrenches out, but Rocky wrenches to headlock, only for Cage to hit a BIG back suplex!

Winners: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage, by pinfall
They may be less than 100% physically, but they’re still 100% mentally! As for emotionally, Cage grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Given the role RPG Vice played in Cage’s arm injury, he SNAPS the crossbar of the chair off, and he hands it to Cope! Bent as it is, Cope uses it to GAG Trent! TORONTO SMILE!! Cage grabs a mic and he asks Trent, “Do you know what to say?! Say it!” Trent shouts, but the crossbar is kinda muddying it into “I qwimt!” They take the bar out and Cage asks again. Trent shouts, “I QUIT! I QUIT!” Cope lets Trent go and the fans cheer. Cage says, “I will never say ‘I quit,’ you little b*tch.”
Cope & Christian have their payback on RPG Vice, but now it will be a matter of getting their revenge on FTR. Will Cash & Dax prove they’re truly the best tag team of all time? Or will they have to admit defeat in the worst way possible?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and brings up that this is twice now that Ricochet has defeated him with the “Ricosault.” Does Jericho think there is any validity that this Ricosault is an improvement on the Lionsault? Jericho says what he does think is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But he’s not really flattered right now, he’s more pissed off. But here’s the thing, Ricochet has obviously been following Jericho’s career very closely. But not close enough because if he was- THE DEMAND ATTACKS! Ricochet, Kaun & Liona beat Jericho down 3v1, then get him up to his knees. Ricochet asks if this is what Jericho wanted. Is this what Jericho thought this would be in his big return to AEW?!
No more jokes, no more games, no more subliminal messages! Ricochet told Jericho to leave or get hurt! Look at him! What do you gotta say?! Is this what you wanted?! Jericho says, “Eat s*it, bald!” Ricochet HAMMERS away on Jericho, then RIPS the shirt away! Then The Gates of Agony THROW Jericho into a road case! Ricochet says that’s what you get! Then Ricochet uses the case to backflip over Jericho, and says, “You’re not even worth it. AHA~!” The Demand leaves Jericho down and out, but will they be the ones to kick him out of AEW?
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships: The Divine Dominion VS Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross have been a dominant team since Dynasty, and are perhaps the most dominant team of all time! But will they make these former AEW Women’s World Champions #BowDown? Or can #Shidalander truly become the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo?

The fans are torn but Megan soaks it all up. Megan drags Shida up, back suplexes, but then counters Shida’s sunset flip into a FALL AWAY SLAM! Not the cleanest throw but an effective one. Megan “kicks rocks” at Shida, then runs up, but Shida slips around! Shida waistlocks, she RAMS Megan into a corner, then runs corner to corner to JUMP KNEE! Shida climbs up and the fans cheer, but Megan stops Shida before she even starts! Shida still throws hands, slips free, and kicks low. Shida runs, but Megan blocks the jump knee! SPINEBUSTER! Shida tumbles out while Megan seethes. Shida is frustrated but she storms back in!
Shida dodges Megan, CLAWS Megan’s face, then she grabs her kendo stick! But Kris grabs it, telling Shida to stop! They argue, but then Kris uses the stick to yank Shida out of the way!

A unique attack, but Kris drags Megan up. Megan RAMS Kris into the Divine Dominion’s corner! Tag to Lena, they double whip Kris, but Kris ducks ‘n’ dodges to DOUBLE RAN- NO! The champs stop Kris to SLAM her down! Then they drag Kris up, bring her in, and DOUBLE SUPLEX! But Kris lands out!
Kris BOOTS Lena, DUMPS Megan, but Lena ROCKS Kris! Lena whips, Kris reverses and ELBOWS Lena, then PELES! Lena staggers, Kris gut wrenches and tucks, but Lena drops down!

To HOTSHOT her on the ropes! Divine Dominion is indeed dominating as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Divine Dominion revels in the cheers and jeers, then Lena argues with the ref before she brings Kris up. Lena bumps Kris off buckles, tags Megan, and Megan stomps away in the corner. Megan stops as the ref counts, but that lets Lena CHOKE Kris! Megan drags Kris up, RAMS into her again and again, then CHOPS! Tag to Lena, and Megan BLASTS Shida for good measure! Then a SPLASH and BUTTERFLY PLEX for Kris before Lena adds a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Kris survives but she’s isolated with Shida down on the floor.

The fans fire up as she runs, then DOUBLE RANAS! The Divine Dominion tumbles around, Shida reaches out, but Megan drags Kris back! Kris fights the fisherman, but Megan BOOTS her! Kris rebounds to DISCUS LARIAT! Both women are down again and the fans fire up! Kris crawls, reaches out, but so does Megan. Hot tags to Lena and Shida! The fans fire up as Shida fires off on Lena! Lena ROCKS Shida, but Shida fires another flurry!
Lena ROCKS Shida again, then whips, but Shida reverses, only for Lena to block! Shida fires a flurry, Lena shoves her away, but Shida dodges! Shida goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up for Shida and she runs the ropes, but Megan snatches her! Lena BOOTS Shida while the fans boo. Lena whips, Shida dodges to KNEE Megan down! Then she drop toeholds Lena into Megan! And then Shida DOUBLE SLIDING KICKS them down! The fans fire up as Shida hurries to the apron! Shida aims to DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! Divine Dominion is down but Shida rises again! The fans chant “HOLY SHIDA!” as she brings Lena around.
Shida puts Lena in the ring, drags her up, and reels her in, but Lena fights the suplex! Lena suplexes, Shida slips free, but Lean HOOK KICKS! Kris tags in and fires off shots! Lena ducks a kick to ROCK Kris! Lena whips, Kris goes up, but Megan traps her! Lena YANKS Kris down, then tags Megan! Lena forearm SMASHES, then ELBOWS Kris! Lena runs side to side, and so does Megan! BOOT follows BOOT, then Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Megan drags Kris up, ROCKS her, then whips her. Kris reverses, Lena tags in, but Kris goes Matrix to avoid Megan’s flying lariat! Kris kips up, but into Lena’s SUPERKICK!
Shida runs up to ROUNDHOUSE Lena! SHOTGUN BOOT from Megan to Shida! Kris BLUE THUNDER BOMBS Megan! Then she ROUNDHOUSES Lena! The fans fire up as Divine Dominion is stacked on top of each other, and Kris climbs a corner! Kris aims to 450 SPLASH!! Two for one on the impact and Kris hurries to cover Lena, TWO?!? Kris is stunned but Lena is dazed. Kris hauls Lena up, but Shida tags herself in! Kris is upset but she SLAMS Lena down for Shida to METEORA! Then the FALCON ARROW!! Cover, TWO?!? Lena survives again and now Shida is shocked! Shida aims for the KATA- NO, Megan intercepts with a BELLY2BELLY!
But Kris SUPERKICKS Megan! Lena waistlocks Kris, Kris switches, but Lean switches back. Megan returns, BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Then they get Shida up, DIVINE INTERVENTION!! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Granted, Shida went a bit rogue changing things on Kris there, but it’s hard to deny that Megan & Lena have the stats to reign forever and ever! Will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, ever dethrone Divine Dominion?
Programming note for next week!
Wednesday, May 6th, North Charleston, South Carolina is in for a treat! They don’t just get AEW Dynamite, they get AEW Collision as a THREE HOUR COMBO! All live on TBS and HBO Max, make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Renee Paquette is now with The Jackal himself, as well as Andrade El Idolo, and speaks to the incredible tear- MJF steps in and says, “No, no, no, Renee, I’m sorry, incredible tear? Here’s what you have done. You have ruined this company! Thanks to you, Darby Allin is on a reign of terror!” Andrade says okay, how you know? W-what? How does MJF know? Because Darby is world champion, that’s how! How you know? Because Don told MJF that Andrade lost his contender’s match! How you know? Because MJF saw it later with his own two eyes! Andrade again asks, “How you know?” Andrade smiles, and MJF says (sarcastically) that Andrade’s real funny.
MJF then shoves Andrade! Callis steps in and has them stop. Andrade is Callis’ money man. MJF is THE money man! Business is business. MJF doesn’t have a belt, there’s no reason for Andrade to fight MJF. And MJF, you need to get that belt back! They’re all better off when MJF is on top! So let’s just focus on business, guys. Okay? Just this once? MJF storms off one way, Andrade the other, and Callis says, “Wild horses, they’re gonna run. What’re you gonna do?” Callis follows Andrade, but will The Real Latino Man accept this truce with The Scumbag?
Rush VS Steven Fuerte!
From wild horses to El Toro Blanco, Rush has certainly been on a stampede since returning from injury. However, he is only getting hungrier and hungrier for gold around his waist. Will that stampede finally lead him to opportunities at Double or Nothing? Or will he have to make due with an appetizer?
The bell rings and Fuerte offers a handshake. Rush DECKS Fuerte instead! Fuerte tumbles out of the ring, Rush goes out after him, and Rush THROWS Fuerte into barriers! The fans fire up as Rush then THROWS Fuerte back into barriers, then stomps away! The ref counts but Rush fires body shots! Rush SMACKS Fuerte off the barriers, then snarls as he drags Fuerte back up. Rush puts Fuerte in the ring, watches him flounder to the corner, and he CHOPS! Fuertes falls, Rush puts him in the corner, then rains down forearms! The ref counts, especially as Rush stomps away! The ref backs Rush down, and Rush just pumps it up!
The fans chant for “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Rush goes corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…! You get the horns!!”” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
Rush made quick work of this one, then he grabs the mic to say cut his music, but in Espanol. Rush continues by saying that he is done with all these dogs! He is Rush, and remember! When you mess with the bull… You get the HORNS! Who else will be trampled under El Toro Blanco as he hunts after gold?
Backstage interview with The Opps.
Renee Paquette is now with Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Hook, and newest member, Anthony Bowens. Renee says Joe is back, looked great back in action, but what is the game plan moving forward? Joe says, “Game plan… Maybe a declaration of intent. Well, it is simple. The Opps, we intend to reassert our dominance here in AEW. How do we plan to do that? I’ll tell you. We plan to do it with men like Katsuyori Shibata, fury made flesh, a man who is kind enough to put on a kick pad so he doesn’t cave in your head when he kicks your skull off.
“We’re gonna do that with men like Anthony Bowens, multiple time world tag team champion here in AEW. A man who has been undervalued, underappreciated, and most importantly, underestimated. And you will see the best version of him now in The Opps. Then we come to Hook, a man who intends to become the new King of Television when he captures the TNT Championship this weekend on Collision. But more importantly, our reign to the top, it includes strategic acquisition. And that brings me to you, Will Ospreay. Y’see, Will, I hope and I pray that you’re not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
“Because those boys in the Death Riders, they had you in the very same position that they saved you from not too long ago, and you know who came and took you out of that? We did, Will. We had your back. So you have to ask yourself, what kind of relationship do you want? Do you want one of convenience? Or one of confidence? Because The Opps are here, and the choice is yours.” That is quite the offer from the Samoan Submission Specialist. But will Ospreay change sides now that he’s already started down the road with the Death Riders? Or will he help The Opps get back on top?
FTR speaks.
Dynamite returns as #BigStoke informs us he just spoke with Tony Khan. Orange Cassidy, they have an “interesting proposition.” Next week, Dynamite Double Jeopardy! Cassidy goes 1v1 with Dax the Ax, and IF Cassidy wins, he and any member of The Conglomeration can challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! But WHEN Dax wins, FTR gets the shot at the AEW World Trios Championships! And Stoke knows ol’ OC is begging for Stoke to get in the ring so they can be face to face, but guess what? That is not gonna happen. Stoke thinks they have a pretty good third partner, and it is the man who took Darby to his limit.
In steps Tommaso Ciampa! The Psycho Killer says last time he and FTR teamed up, if he remembers correctly, Ciampa shelfed Mark Briscoe indefinitely. This time, they take them trios titles. Ciampa picks the popcorn crumb from Stokely’s beard, and says, “Top Guys out.” Ciampa eats the crumb, then waves goodbye. Will these three truly be a dangerous combination? Or can Freshly Squeezed earn himself and… someone… another title opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Hook challenging The Jet for the TNT Championship, we will see The Death Riders & The Dogs team up again, but against the combination of The Rascalz & Top Flight! Another 10 Man Tag, but which side comes out on top? Then there’s more gold on the line in Peoria, Illinois, as “Jungle” Jack Perry defends the AEW National Championship against Mascara Dorada! Will the King of the Ropes add more gold to the collection? Or will Jack Perry continue to live his best Tarzan Life? Then the Bang Bang Gang hopes to rebound from Ace’s loss tonight as they go 2v2 with Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta! Will Juice & Ace win big? Or will The Death Riders dominate the night?
And lastly, “Comeback Killer” Willow Nightingale put out the challenge last week and it has been answered! Anna Jay returns to action, and she challenges for the AEW TBS Championship! Will Anna truly be the Star of the Show? Or will the Babe with the Power overpower The Queenslayer?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Brody King!
The Relentless One promised to be a fighting champion, and so far that is mission accomplished. But he also promised that Kevin Knight gets the next shot next week! Will Darby continue to keep his promises? Or will the King of Death throw those plans for a loop?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we add another chapter to this storied and brutal rivalry!
The bell rings and the fans are fired up already. The rivals step up, shake hands, then back up, only for Darby to SHOTGUN Brody! Darby fires off fists, Brody shove him away, but Darby comes back with fists! Darby springboards, but into a CHOP! Darby is stinging but Brody clamps on a SLEEPER! Darby grab ropes, the ref counts, but then Brody SLAPS Darby’s hands down to GERMAN SUPLEX him away! Darby tumbles all the way to the corner, and Brody roars as he runs! CANNONBALL! Brody hauls Darby up, Canadian Racks, but Darby fights free! Darby goes to another corner, and he BOOTS Brody away!
Darby goes up but Brody CHOPS! Brody climbs, Darby CLUBS away, and Darby hops on for a SUPER CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and bails out while the fans fire up. Darby snarls, builds speed, and DIVES! But he just bounces off of Brody’s body?!? Even Darby has to smile about that, that was wild! Brody drags Darby up and CHOPS him! Darby staggers around the way but Brody follows. Brody brings Darby up, CHOPS him again, and he grabs a chair! The ref reprimands but Brody tells fans to move aside. Brody sits the chair up, makes Darby take a seat, and CHOPS him for good measure. Brody barks, fans join in, and Brody runs up!
But Darby trips Brody and Brody hits the chair! The fans rally as Darby hurries to take that chair for his own. Darby sets it up, brings Brody up, and Darby makes Brody take a seat. Darby fires forearms, CLAWS Brody’s back, then he climbs up the corner! The fans fire up because they know this means SUPER MISSILE DROPKICK! Direct hit on Brody but Darby also writhes from that landing! The fans are thunderous while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Darby but he insists he’s okay. Brody is okay to continue, as well, and both men slowly sit up. Darby hobbles and rolls into the ring, followed by Brody. They slowly stand, and Darby hobbles over to fire forearm after forearm! Brody DECKS Darby with just one! Brody leans on the ropes while he catches his breath, and Darby slowly sits back up. Brody brings Darby around to CHOP him back down! Darby sputters but Brody drags him back up. Brody ROCKS Darby, whips corner to corner hard, and Darby falls to the mat! Brody storms over to Darby, stands him up, and scoops for a SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Brody stays on Darby with another scoop and SLAM! Another cover, TWO! Darby toughs it out and Brody grows frustrated. Brody drags Darby up again, scoops and SLAMS again, then covers, TWO!! Darby continues to survive, and now Brody is oddly amused. Brody looms over Darby, but Darby fires shots at the legs. Brody CHOPS Darby down! Then SENTONS onto Darby! Darby sputters and clutches his leg, it was trapped under him when the senton hit! Brody shrugs, not his fault. Brody looms over Darby but Darby crawls away. Brody stalks Darby, brings him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture for the lift. Darby GUILLOTINE FACELOCKS to counter!
Brody puts Darby on the ropes, fires body shots, and then he CHOPS Darby down! Darby hits apron before he hits floor! The fans rally and bark while Brody argues with the ref. Brody goes out after Darby, drags him up, and CHOKE SLAMS him on the apron! Brody says this is what Darby wanted, so he clears the desk! The fans cheer, and Brody even puts the desk lid off to the side. Brody paces, and watching from the skybox, it’s Kevin Knight. The TNT Champion is facing one of these two next week, so naturally he wants to watch with his own eyes. But then Darby JUMPS on Brody’s back! Darby has a SLEEPER!
Darby squeezes tight, but Brody stays on his feet! Brody runs with Darby as a backpack, CANNOBNALL down through the desk hood!! Fairfax loses their minds as both men are down in the wreckage! We get a quick look backstage to see MJF is watching this, too. The ref checks and both men are able to continue. Brody is up first and he drags Darby around. Brody scoops but Darby fights free! Darby SHOVES Brody into the desk! That corner edge gets Brody right in the stomach! Darby hurries to finish clearing the desk, and he throws hands on Brody! And even SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! Brody SLAPS back!
Darby sputters on the desk, and now Brody climbs up to join him! The fans go nuts as Brody reels Darby in. Darby fires body shots and shots on the legs, but Brody CHOPS Darby! SLEEPER!! Brody dangles Darby like he has before, but Darby CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Brody lets go, Darby hurries back up, CODE RED ON THE DESK! The desk does not break, but both men might be busted up from that landing! The fans lose their minds all the same while the ref checks both men. Darby is up and in the ring, sore as he is, but Brody rises. Darby shakes out the bad leg, builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and they hit the desk again!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Darby sits up, then manages to hobble his way over. Brody follows, they roll into the ring, and Darby goes up the corner! But Brody trips Darby up, then CHOPS him into the Tree of Woe! Brody then sits Darby up, just so he can CHOP Darby again! Brody barks as he storms around, and then he runs up to CANNONBALL!! Darby sputters but Brody drags him up, just to short arm LARIAT him back down! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and shocks Brody! Brody hauls Darby right up, runs, CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!! Cover, TWO!!! Darby survives again and Brody is beside himself!
The fans are thunderous for Darby as he sits up in a daze. Brody shakes his head, unsure how Darby is still doing this. Brody YANKS Darby up, runs up, but Darby dodges the splash! Brody sputters from hitting buckles, and Darby CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Darby HEADBUTTS Brody, but that just pisses Brody off! Brody THROWS Darby onto a cameraman!! The camera is fine but Darby writhes on the ground! Brody storms out after Darby, grabs him by the legs, but Darby claws at the floor mat! The mat is pulled up as Brody drags Darby along! The fans fire up as the camera seems to be along for the ride!
Darby kicks at Brody, kicks free, then hurries to his feet. Brody CHOPS Darby and Darby staggers away. The fans rally and bark, and Brody runs up for a CANNONBALL THROUGH RAILING!! But Darby narrowly avoids that human car wreck!! The fans go nuts as Darby hurries to finish pulling up floor mats! Darby has exposed a good portion of concrete, but he makes sure to roll into the ring to stop the count. Brody storms back up on Darby, but Darby BITES Brody’s hands! The ref reprimands but Brody ROCKS Darby! Brody reels Darby in, and he looks to the floor! The fans freak out but Darby fights the suplex!
Darby SLAPS Brody’s hands, then slides under! SUNSET BOMB on bare concrete!! The fans go nuts again, but Darby isn’t done! Darby climbs, aims, and SUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Direct hit, and a solid one at that! The ring count climbs again, and Darby rolls in at 4 of 10. Brody is down at 6, but he rises at 7! Brody stands at 9, and he lunges in at 9.9! Only for Darby to COFFIN DROP again!! Then COFFIN DROP again!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Championship)
This newest chapter might’ve been their greatest, if not CRAZIEST, one yet! And in the end, Darby’s relentless nature carries him through again! Knight nods, knowing exactly what to expect for next week. But will Knight make it through the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil on Collision to then bring that TNT Championship to the dance? As for Brody, he and Darby shake hands as great rivals and friends. Darby makes sure to look at Knight up in the skybox, will Darby be able to survive his own reign going this hard week after week?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite that they really stacked with title matches. But at the same time, status quo kept and all in awesome ways. Honestly, part of me is surprised that Knight retained against MJF, because of the “Double or Nothing” idea of Darby VS MJF, title for title. But at the same time, maybe Darby is going to make MJF put up his ability to challenge for the world title, same as in MJF VS Hangman. Great win for Knight all the same, and he’ll have a very good match against Hook on Collision, and against Darby Allin next week. Darby VS Brody was an awesome main event, like PPV quality, holy crap, but great win for Darby.
MJF had a great promo with Callis & Andrade to further that feud and its slow burn. I would think that win, lose or draw with Darby, MJF will feud with Andrade for the summer. A great match for Ace Austin against Okada, but again, of course Okada won out so he and Takeshita will still have their title match. Great promo from Thekla & Skye to call out Brawling Birds, and Brawling Birds of course win their match tonight. I still wanna see that Triple Threat of Thekla VS Windsor VS Persephone with someone becoming a double champion, but it feels like it might be Thekla VS Windsor VS Hayter just so Thekla obviously gets away with a win.
Great women’s tag title match, #Shidalander getting their best showing yet, obviously. But given the story they’re building, of course Shidalander loses. Divine Dominion VS Brawling Birds definitely needs to happen for All In London, so all these other matches are just biding time on that. Rush continues to bide his time, but between the TNT Championship and the National Championship, Rush needs to get one of those to vindicate himself here in AEW. Great tag match from C&C VS RPG Vice, but also a great appearance by Conglomeration to go after FTR. They’re already building that story even before Double or Nothing, which is clunky, but I like the idea of the Double Jeopardy. Though, with that, FTR & Ciampa are definitely getting their match for the trios titles.
And great stuff in this story of Will Ospreay’s recovery. Great promo from Ospreay with the Death Riders, but then The Opps just jump in and want to recruit him now? That’s weird. I suppose there is still good continuity here, because Face Opps did fight against Heel Death Riders, and so the factions are double-turning and the feud is continuing. I am pretty sure Ospreay sticks to Death Riders in this, and there’s still so much missed opportunity not having Max Caster as part of Bowens’ story with The Opps. But hey, if it gives us Ospreay VS Shibata and Ospreay VS Joe through such a feud, who am I to question it?
My Score: 9.1/10
