PLAY BY PLAY

Adam Cole VS Jake Atlas!

The Panama City Playboy heard the news, and he wants to “welcome” the Muscle of El Camino to AEW personally. But will the current #1 contender have more than he bargained for going against the newest signee? Or will it still be all about Adam Cole BAYBAY?

The bell rings and the two tie up. Cole gets the arm and wrenches through to a wristlock. Atlas rolls, wrenches back to get the wristlock, but Cole rolls and rolls and wrenches back. Atlas slips through, has the arms and spins Cole to a headlock and takeover! Cole scrambles around but Atlas keeps him down. Cole headscissors, Atlas moves around, headstands and pops free! Atlas mocks the BAYBAY and then eggs Cole on. Fans rally, the two circle, and they tie up, only for Cole to kick low! Cole ROCKS Atlas, whips him to ropes, but Atlas reverses. Cole holds ropes to avoid the dropkick! But Atlas avoids the shining wizard!

Cole avoids the Penalty Kick, and the standing moonsault, but Atlas avoids the boot! Cole ducks a roundhouse, Atlas blocks a superkick, both men then show superkick but hold back. Fans fire up as Atlas tells Cole to talk to the hand. Cole kicks low! Cole whips, Atlas stops short of the dropkick to basement dropkick! Cover, TWO! Atlas brings Cole up to CHOP, then has Cole in a corner for another CHOP! Cole staggers, Atlas brings him around and bumps him off buckles. Atlas fires forearms and then GAMANGIRIS! Atlas whips corner to corner, Cole reverses but Atlas BOOTS him! Atlas goes up, Cole SHOVES him down! Atlas crashes down while Cole dusts himself off.

Cole goes out after Atlas, POSTS him, then soaks up the cheers and jeers. Atlas staggers up, Cole puts him in the ring. Cole drags Atlas around, rains down fists, then drags Atlas up. Atlas throws body shots, Cole stomps him down! Fans rally, Cole brings Atlas up and DECKS him with a right! Atlas goes to the corner, Cole digs his foot in! The ref counts, Cole lets off at 4, but Cole drags Atlas up. Atlas throws forearms, then a ROLLING ELBOW! Cole staggers, Atlas runs, springboards, but into a BACKSTABBER! Atlas writhes but Cole snapmares him for a KNEE to the back!

AEW is picture in picture as Cole clamps on a chinlock. Cole grinds Atlas down, but Atlas endures. Atlas fights up as Cole shifts his position, and Atlas throws body shots. Atlas runs, Cole CLOBBERS him! Cole paces, Atlas goes to a corner but Cole drags Atlas up. Cole turns Atlas for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Cole flexes to keep his ego going, and he drags Atlas into another chinlock. Atlas endures again as Cole grinds him down. Atlas fights his way up, throws EuroUppers, but Cole kicks low. Cole whips, Atlas ducks and dodges to RANA! Cole bails out but Atlas keeps moving, only for Cole to go around the way. So Atlas just redirects to WRECK Cole with a dropkick!

Atlas keeps moving, Atlas DIVES and hits Cole into railing! Atlas puts Cole in, springboards, and missile dropkicks! Cover, TWO! Fans fire up, Atlas brings Cole up but Cole ducks a kick to shove and BOOT! Atlas rebounds into the fireman’s carry, USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Atlas survives and Cole is growing frustrated. Cole smirks as he goes to the corner, and he tunes up the band! Atlas blocks the superkick to spin him around! Cole breaks the waistlock to PELE! Atlas SUPERKICKS, spins and DISCUS LARIATS! Atlas brings Cole back up, but Cole suplexes first for a GHOSTBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!! Atlas survives and Cole is beside himself!

Cole gets up while Atlas crawls to a corner. Cole aims, runs in, but Atlas SHOTGUN BOOTS first! Atlas gets Cole up, suplexes, X-PLEX POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!! Cole survives but Atlas slaps himself to fire back up! Atlas goes to the apron, aims and springboards, but into a SUPERKICK! Atlas clutches a knee while Cole climbs up. PANAMA-NO! Atlas blocks, but Cole CLUBS him down! HEEL HOOK! Atlas taps, Cole wins!

Winner: Adam Cole, by submission

Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish head out to celebrate with their guy, Cole, and Cole gets a mic. “Happy New Year, Jake Atlas! Because in about one minute, congratulations, you earned another ass whooping.” But as medics check on Atlas, here comes Orange Cassidy! And he wraps a fist with a chain! Best Friends hurry up to reinforce him, and they run off Cole and reDRagon! Will Freshly Squeezed have to wait a little longer for revenge?

AEW has breaking news!

Dustin Rhodes lets us know, “Due to medical protocol, my brother Cody Rhodes will not be in Charlotte, North Carolina Saturday night for Battle of the Belts to face Sammy Guevara for the TNT title. Opportunity has knocked for another member of the Rhodes Family: me, the Natural, Dustin Rhodes.” Sammy Guevara’s response is that he “doesn’t give a sh*t. It can be Dustin Rhodes, Cody Rhodes, it could be any Rhodes.” And he also doesn’t care if it’s interim or not, he vows to walk out with the gold at Battle of the Belts. Will this change of plans help the Spanish God reign again? Or will Dustin protect the honor of the Rhodes Family?

Backstage interview with Andrade El Idolo.

Tony Schiavone is with Andrade and his assistant, Jose, and asks why last week, Andrade distracted Sting & Darby Allin for The Acclaimed to attack from behind. Andrade says, “First, Tony, this problem is not with Mr. Sting. My question is, why this little kid works for Sting?” Schiavone points out that Darby doesn’t work for Sting, they’re friends. Oh, okay, how does Schiavone know that? Well, he knows them very well. Okay, okay. Andrade is so busy, he and Jose need new assistants. So Andrade offers Sting payment to get Darby Allin. Schiavone is pretty sure that isn’t going to work out. Is Andrade going to regret thinking of Darby as just a worker for hire?

Hook VS Aaron Solo w/ QT Marshall!

The Factory wanted him, so Team Taz sent him! Will the Handsome Devil show QT and Solo that he really is all that and a bag of chips?

The bell rings and Hook already stares Solo down. Fans are singing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you” but Solo tells them to shut up. Solo and Hook feel out the grapple, Solo is more messing with the hair than taking this seriously. They tie up with knuckle locks and go shoulder to shoulder in a test of strength, and then Hook lifts Solo to BACK DROP him! Solo scrambles to ropes, QT wants the ref to keep Hook back, and Hook gives Solo space. They circle, feel things out, and Solo shoots in to waistlock. Hook switches, leg trips and has a half nelson to a cravat. Solo endures as Hook as a deep neck wrench, but he gets the ropebreak. Hook lets go at 4 and fans rally up.

Solo goes to a corner, Hook goes after him with body shots! Fans fire up as Hook headbutts Solo down! But QT hooks Hook’s foot! Hook glares at him, but Solo CLOBBERS Hook! Solo stomps away, but Hook shoves Solo away. Solo comes back with a forearm, then he CLUBS Hook on the back. Solo whips, Hook reverses to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP, to a GROUND OCTOPUS! Solo endures, fights back to a cover, TWO! Hook CHOPS Solo on the ear! Waistlock, but Solo switches. Hook switches, gut wrenches and TOSSES Solo with the El Camino Suplex! Fans fire up, Hook gets Solo up, but Solo JAWBREAKERS!

Hook comes back, Solo ducks but Hook ducks the roundhouse! Hook catches Solo for the SHOULDER CAPTURE SUPLEX! Hook throws down crossface forearms, then wraps on the body scissors! Hook CLUBS Solo, and puts on the REDRUM! Solo taps, Hook wins!

Winner: Hook, by submission

Hook makes Solo suffer before he lets Solo go, and QT gets in to get in Hook’s face. Fans tell Hook to take the fight to him, and QT won’t let Hook walk away, either! Hook glares at QT, but QT tries a cheap shot! TAZ PLEX!! Hook is undefeated and doesn’t even look to be sweating! Will that ice in Hook’s veins keep him cool all the way to the top rankings?

Ricky Starks speaks from commentary.

He’s got some big news for Battle of the Belts! He thought it was a damn shame that the FTW Championship was NOT defended on that night. But he is Absolute Ricky Starks, he talked with Tony Khan, he is defending his title against Matt Sydal! the reason Starks wanted Sydal was for Dante Martin! Starks is gonna prove a point. Dante took three matches to beat Sydal, it’ll take Starks just one. And then Dante will have “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs to worry about on Wednesday, because Dante isn’t gonna survive!

AEW hears from both TayJay and Penelope Ford & The Bunny.

“Last week on Rampage, we left a bloodstain mark on AEW. Tay, Anna, we had to snuff the good out of you. Blood had to be spilled, because that’s how villains are made.” But Anna Jay & Tay Conti say that the best part was piledriving Ford through a table. Bunny & Ford still did what they set out to do, and that was to make sure no one ever forgets their names.

Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter w/ Rebel VS Riho & Ruby Soho!

The Dentist and her sidekick- er, assistant look to make sure momentum is on their side going into Battle of the Belts. But the Runaway had a point that Britt has never defeated Riho without help. Will this tag match ironically just prove that point? Or will Britt look to win two nights in a row?

The teams sort out, and Rebel drags Ruby out of the ring! Britt and Hayter mug Riho, really only proving Ruby’s point from Wednesday. Ruby gets back in and she goes after Britt! Britt bails out, then Ruby helps Riho against Hayter! Fans rally up, Hayter kicks but Ruby blocks to KNEE Hayter back! Ruby keeps on Hayter and the bell rings to officially start this. Ruby bumps Hayter off buckles, stomps away in the corner, then tags in Riho. Ruby whips Riho in to KNEE Hayter! Riho fires off, then tags Ruby. Riho whips Ruby in and Ruby forearms! Ruby stomps Hayter more, tags back to Riho, and they combine for a wheelbarrow victory SPEAR!

Riho covers Hayter, TWO! Tag to Ruby, she brings Hayter up but Hayter RAMS Ruby into the corner! Britt tags in, she and Hayter stomp away on Ruby, and Britt fires off forearms. Britt brings Ruby around to FISHERM- NO! Ruby slips out to snap suplex! Ruby PENATLY KICKS Britt down, tags in Riho, and Riho runs to step on Britt, backpack onto Ruby, and together they SENTON onto Britt! Cover, TWO! Riho hurries to tag Ruby in, and Ruby hurries to keep Britt from her corner. Britt rakes eyes, fires forearms at the ropes, then brings Ruby around to whip her to ropes. Ruby reverses but Britt reverses back, and Rebel swipes at Ruby!

Ruby glares, the ref reprimands, but Britt knees Ruby low! Britt underhooks for a BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Hayter gets in to BOOT Ruby down! Britt covers, TWO! Britt rains down hands on Ruby and then covers, TWO!

AEW goes picture in picture as Britt drags Ruby by her hair. Britt wraps on a chinlock then drags Ruby up to bump her off buckles. Britt chokes Ruby, Hayter helps out there, but the ref counts and they both let off at 4. Tag to Hayter, she snap suplexes Ruby out of the corner! Cover, TWO! Hayter drags Ruby back up, bumps her off buckles, then brings her around to RAM her into the second buckle, and then the bottom buckle! Hayter swings on Riho but Riho gets away. Hayter drags Ruby up to bump her off more buckles and then stomp her in the corner. Britt talks trash, then gets her cheap shots in as Hayter argues with the ref!

Hayter CLUBS Ruby down, stomps her, then drags Ruby up to scoop and SLAM! Cover, TWO! Hayter looms over Ruby, taunts her as she crawls, and then brings her away to CLUB her in the back! Ruby CHOPS back! And CHOPS, and CHOPS! Hayter CLUBS Ruby again, then drags her up to whip her into the corner. Hayter tags Britt, Britt wraps Ruby’s arm around the ropes and pulls off KT tape at the same time. The ref reprimands, Hayter gets her boots in on the arm, the ref counts but they both let off at 4. Britt fires off forearms, throws Ruby down, then CLUBS the arm while clamping on an armlock. Ruby endures as AEW goes to break.

Rampage returns and Britt waistlocks Ruby. Ruby fights with elbows, Britt ripcords and spins, but Ruby ducks to SAIDO! Fans are fired up for “Women’s Wrestling!” as these two crawl for their corners. Hot tags to Hayter and Riho! Fans fire up as Riho dropkicks Hayter, dodges her, then tilt-o-whirl headscissors! Riho dodges Hayter to put her on ropes, and then dials it up for a 619! Cover, Britt breaks it! Britt rains down rights on Riho, Hayter stomps Riho, and they double whip. Riho handsprings through the clotheslines to BOOT Britt and TORNADO DDT Hayter! Cover, TWO! Riho drags Hayter to the corner and heads up top!

But Britt is there to shove Riho down! Fans boo, Britt runs in and gets Riho, ripcord ROLLING ELBOW! Hayter hits the BACKBREAKER, sets Riho up for Britt’s SUPERKICK, then Hayter hits an STO! Cover, Ruby breaks it! Britt is after Ruby and throws her out while Hayter hammers Riho! Hayter drags Riho up, suplexes, but Riho fights free! Britt is there, but Riho dodges and Hayter DECKS Britt! Riho rolls Hayter up to a high stack, Riho & Soho win!!

Winners: Riho & Ruby Soho, by pinfall

And Britt’s still yet to defeat Riho! Britt is upset with Hayter, but will she take it all out on Riho in the AEW Women’s World Championship showdown?

Dan Lambert and The Men of the Year speak.

“Let me get this straight. Now it’s Dustin and Sammy for the interim TNT belt? Tony, are you booking championship matches or the next episode of Rhodes to the Top?” He doesn’t know who does more sucking up, Cody to Tony or Tony to the TNT reality show execs. Either way, there’s a lot of sucking going on right about now. No wonder Bambi Rhodes is the CBO. Not to break their hearts more, but Ethan Page says you can’t expect anyone to use logic in running this place. If so, then a top five wrestler like Scorpio Sky would be in the match! Scorpio says there doesn’t even need to be a match or interim title! Scorpio should just be crowned the champion immediately!

Scorpio hasn’t been pinned in 221 days, hasn’t lost a singles match in over 300 days, and he could beat both Dustin and Sammy on the same night! Ethan says Sammy knows there’s unsettled business here, but Dustin? Ethan could knock him on his ass any night of the week! So tomorrow, they’ll be watching very, very closely. Will the interim TNT Champion have to worry about these wolves hunting them down?

Mark Henry talks with the main eventers.

Henry wants to talk with Eddie Kingston, Santana & Ortiz first, but “with all due respect,” Jeff Parker speaks up to take over. Kingston, just do them a favor and stand there with your mouth shut. How many times do they have to do this? Week after week, they embarrass Kingston, and yet- Oh, Kingston, Santana & Ortiz decide to just bounce. Matt Lee is done with the “pulled the tights” excuse. Where are they going? They want to go to the ring already? Daniel Garcia says that they got embarrassed last week, they’ll just get embarrassed again this week. Garcia has Kingston’s number, he is smarter in the ring than Kingston, he’ll prove it every time, especially with tonight being no rules.

Wait, Kingston, Santana & Ortiz found Garcia & 2point0 and attack! The fight is on already as Kingston fires off on Garcia, Santana has Parker, and Ortiz disappears down the hall with Lee! Henry says it’s time for the main event! Will these three keep brawling all through the commercial break?!

No Holds Barred Six Man Tag: Eddie Kingston, Santana & Ortiz VS Daniel Garcia & 2point0!

Rampage returns and things spill out onto the stage! Parker sends Ortiz tumbling, but Kingston fish hooks Garcia’s mouth as he brings him to the ring. Ortiz and Lee were beating each other all during the break, who knows where Lee’s gone since. Kingston throws hands on Garcia, CLUBS him at ringside, and then RAMS him into railing! Kingston smacks Garcia off a chair in the corner, Santana punches back against Parker. Kingston grabs a trash can! Kingston and Garcia go to the ring, Garcia fires forearms but Kingston doesn’t even flinch! Kingston pokes Garcia in the eye, then SMACKS him with the trash can!

Kingston headbutts the can to fire himself up! Ortiz sends Lee into railing, Santana uses a chair on Parker. Kingston chose Garcia with his shirt!

And then he puts the can around Garcia’s head to stomp it! Kingston throws Garcia out, Parker BOOTS Santana against railing!

Proud ‘n’ Powerful double suplex Parker while Kingston suplexes Garcia onto the trash can! Lee returns to CLUB Santana then fire off on Ortiz! Fans rally up for Kingston but Lee puts Ortiz in the ring.

Lee takes one of the fan’s blown up Bert Kreischer head and SMACKS Santana with it! 2point0 regroups in the ring while Kingston makes Garcia take a seat. AEW goes picture in picture as Lee whips and drop toeholds Ortiz, and Garcia drop toeholds Kingston into the chair! Lee sets up, Parker has a chair, FULL METAL BOOYAH! Direct hit on Ortiz and he writhes from the chair drop. Cover, TWO! 2point0 stomp Ortiz, hit him with what’s left of the Kreischer head, but Santana DECKS Parker! And BOOTS him from the apron! And SMACKS him off the steps! Ortiz kicks Lee back, but Lee stomps Ortiz down. Kingston CLOBBERS Garcia with the trash can!

Lee whips Ortiz hard into the corner! Ortiz bounces off buckles, Lee goes out after Kingston and kicks him down. Lee waits for Kingston to stand, to then CLOBBER him! Garcia returns and now he chokes Kingston with a shirt! Parker throws hands with Santana, Ortiz SMACKS Parker with a chair! Lee CLUBS Ortiz but Ortiz JAMS him! Parker and Garcia knock Ortiz down but Santana JAMS Garcia with the chair! SMACK to Garcia’s back and he hobbles away. Santana sets up a chair, brings Parker over and reels him in, PILDERIVER to the chair! A bit double-edged given how Santana set that up, but Kingston uses the mad ball on 2point0!

Ortiz gets the mad ball to smack Lee over and over and over! Garcia puts Kingston’s leg inside the trash can and STOMPS it! Garcia stomps Kingston more to then STOMP the leg again! Lee clobbers Ortiz and fires off hands! Parker is in the ring and he digs boots into Santana at a corner, while Garcia YANKS Kingston’s leg! Kingston kicks back, eggs Garcia on, even as he crawls!

CALF KICK! Kingston hobbles in to get an EXPLODER! Santana is up top, FROG SPLASH!! Cover, 2point0 break it!

Santana throws Parker out, Lee uses POCKET SAND!! DDT! Cover, Ortiz breaks it! Fans are loving “A E DUB!” for this, and Lee throws hands on Ortiz, DDT! Lee fires up, and Garcia gets the ring bell! Parker returns, Lee stomps Kingston, and they want to revisit their previous Six Man Tag! Ortiz grabs Garcia’s leg but Garcia stomps him away. Garcia runs in, BELL RINGER!! Cover, TWO?!?! HOW?!?! Fans are going nuts as Lee and Garcia keep Kingston down. Parker finds tape! They bring Kingston around to the timekeeper’s table, DOUBLE SUPLEX through the table!!

They’re mugging Kingston, but Jericho jumps off commentary! Jericho gets in to run off 2point0 and Garcia! Le Champion dares them to do something, but they’ve done the damage. Kingston frees his arm, Jericho even has the mad ball. Will Jericho and Kingston put aside their differences to go after their common enemies?

My Thoughts:

What a wild episode of Rampage! Cole VS Atlas was a great match, but since this was all recorded on Wednesday, it was already reported out there that Atlas legit hurt his leg at the end there. There’s some irony to how it wasn’t as bad as Rey Fenix’s arm, yet Atlas is the one hurt. Cassidy and faction running Not Undisputed Era off was good stuff, there’s a lot more to do there as the story of Cole stuck between all his friends develops. Maybe there’s a clash of reDRagon and Young Bucks the very next time the Bucks try to help Cole win. Hook VS Solo was good stuff, and naturally Hook wins. I bet we’re getting Hook VS QT next after that.

I really like that Starks took the initiative and wants to defend his FTW Championship. He’ll have a great match against Sydal and naturally retain. I feel like Dante will find a way to win against Hobbs, and then I hope we get Starks VS Dante for the FTW title. Britt & Hayter VS Riho & Ruby was a pretty good tag match, and it was great that Riho got the win but over Hayter. I’m pretty sure the Battle of the Belts is where Britt finally defeats Riho to retain the title, and then Britt can move on to any number of other contenders. Cody not being cleared is a shame, Dustin being the replacement definitely plays into what Lambert’s been going on about, and I feel like this is how we circle back to Sammy feuding with Men of the Year.

Andrade had a good promo to explain what’s going on with him, Darby and Sting. I feel like it’s becoming Andrade’s running joke that he thinks factions/stables have a boss and everyone else works for that boss. And then we got an awesome main event, and I love that it started as a brawl backstage. I mean, what stops one side of that main event interview to go after the other if they’re all in the same building anyway? Great stuff all over, the Faces winning only for the Heels to go after them was a great way to bring Jericho into this again, and I would think we’re at least getting Jericho and Kingston as a team to go against 2point0 specifically, with Santana & Ortiz keeping Garcia away.

My Score: 8.6/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Toni Storm is here!

Milwaukee cheers as The Good Land is now TIMELESS! Toni goes right to the ring, puts her AEW Women’s World Championship belt right down on the mat, and has a mic to say, “Milwaukee, I love you.” The fans cheer that! Toni says please, enough of the banter! “Megan Bayne, get your oiled up, feathered ass out here right now!” No response, so Toni says fine. If Megan is too busy crushing watermelons and eating babies, then listen up! The spotlight drops on Toni as the fans chant her name. Toni says, “Last Wednesday, you were the better woman. I don’t know what happened, it all happened so fast. But before I knew it, I was flat on my back like you’d just bought me a steak dinner.

“I am embarrassed. I am hurt. And I’m ashamed. And the worst part is, you made it look so easy.” Toni rests on the mat beside her belt to say, “I went back to my hotel, and I turned off all the lights. And I laid there, going over the same scene in my head over and over and over again, wondering if this is what’s going to happen to me at Dynasty.” Fans say no, but Toni continues, “And then, when the sun came up, I was covered in sweat. Moreso than usual. But I got up, and I went into the bathroom and I took a piss. And then I stubbed my toe, then I whacked my head on the sink. And when I came to, I looked into the mirror, and I remembered exactly who I am!”

The fans cheer, and Toni rises up to say, “I am Timeless Toni Storm! And at Dynasty, I will be leaving with your tits in my purse!” Toni approaches the ropes for her close up, only to be CLOBBERED by Penelope Ford! The Superbad Girl grins, the fans boo, but Ford fires off hands on Toni! Ford whips, but Toni reverses to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ford ends up in a corner, Toni runs in, SWEET HIP MUSIC! The fans fire up as Toni stomps a mudhole into Ford! But then Megan CLOBBERS Toni! The fans boo as now the Megasus gets the drop on Toni! Megan fireman’s carries, FATE’S DESCENT on the belt!

The fans boo even more as Megan sits Toni up, tells her to “BOW! DOWN!” then throws Toni down again! Megan stands over Toni, and with just EIGHT DAYS left, is there no such thing as “timeless” in AEW?

The Death Riders speak.

Claudio Castagnoli starts with German, and he says that while Dax Harwood will be the first victim of the Death Riders, this Wednesday is when the Swiss Cyborg does something for himself. Claudio calls out Adam Copeland to go 1v1 for what Cope did to him! And if Copeland thinks that was ruthless, Claudio knows he is losing his edge and is just trying to cope with it! Claudio will beat Cope to a pulp, but leave just enough of him alive to limp to Dynasty so he can team up with his “two little groupies,” and fail at another chance of becoming champion here in AEW.

Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder and says, “There are only three women I fear in this world: My mother, my sister, and my wife. Until I met Marina Shafir. On the day that she just snaps, I know I don’t wanna be the one who pissed her off. Part of me thinks maybe me and you, Swerve, we should just grab some popcorn, sit and watch these ladies tear each other apart. But you talked a really, really big game on Wednesday, and now you gotta back it up. Right now, that’s the job. Poor, sweet Willow.” Marina speaks up and warns Willow in Romanian, then in English she dares Willow to keep smiling once Marina’s ripped out her liver and shoved it down her throat!

Moxley & Claudio look at each other, Moxley with wide eyes and Claudio with a big smile. They head out with Marina, will there be no solving this Problem?

Jay White VS Kevin Knight!

The Switchblade has put his name in the hat for the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, knowing full well Will Ospreay and Hangman Adam Page will be in it, too. But will White be rolling towards the Owen Hart Cup opening round? Or will The Jet take him on quite the flight?

The bell rings and the fans rally. White and Knight circle, and Milwaukee is strongly behind the Switchblade. The two tie up, White waistlocks but Knight drop toeholds.

The fans rally as Knight fights up and fires body shots. White CHOPS again! Knight drops to a knee, but he shakes his head. Knight stands, but White CHOPS again! Knight again drops to his knees, the fans fire up, and Knight rises! Knight ducks a chop to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Knight ROCKS White, whips him, but White reverses to CHOP! White runs, but into a DROPKICK! Both men are down and the fans fire back up! White and Knight stir, and Knight roars as he rises up! Knight ROCKS White, counter punches, then fires a flurry! White knees low, whips Knight to the corner, but Knight comes back to CLOBBER White!

Knight LARIATS White, whips him, but White reverses. Knight goes up and over, then scoops to SLAM! The fans fire up and Knight UFO SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! White survives and Knight is a bit surprised, but he fireman’s carries. White fights free to CHOP! White whips, Knight leaps over the lariat, then SUPERKICKS! White ends up in a corner, Knight runs in, but White puts him on the apron! Knight ROCKS White first, then springboards, but into the clinch! URE- NO, Knight arm-drags White into a takedown and cover, TWO!! White escapes and Knight is shocked! White clinches, BLADE- NO, Knight slips around and shoves White to a corner!

Knight runs in, White ELBOWS him, then goes up! UPPER ROOM!! Knight throws White down and gets moving, but White ducks a lariat! COMPLETE SHOT, then the waistlock! Deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up and White drags Knight up. White clinches for the URENAGE! White says time to end it! Clinch and BLADERUNNER!! Cover, White wins!

Winner: Jay White, by pinfall

Knight pushed White in this one, but he still had to Breathe with the Switchblade! White grabs a mic to say, “Let’s hear it for Kevin Knight!” The fans cheer, and White says, “Just like myself, Kevin went through the NJPW Dojo. And although this year, it won’t be yours in the Owen, there’s always next year. Because I’m pretty sure we’re going to see a lot more of Kevin Knight in AEW.” The fans cheer that! White says that was Knight’s cue to leave but guess Milwaukee thought otherwise. White says, “See you around.” They shake hands, and Knight takes off. When and where will The Jet fly back to AEW?

White says the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament will have the best of the best. And just like White does every time, he will show us that he is the MOST elite! Because he needs to win the Owen Hart Cup, because he needs to go on to All In: Texas, because he needs his shot at the AEW World Championship! The fans cheer that, and White says because he is the Last Rock ‘n’ Rolla, the man who singlehandedly sold out Madison Square Garden, King Switch! The Catalyst of Professional Wrestling! This is STILL his era! And at All In, White will show us it is STILL the Switchblade Era! White has issued his mission statement, but will it be mission accomplished by July?

AEW shares a tweet from Athena.

In response Mercedes Mone posting, “Milwaukee, say hello to your C E O,” The Fallen Goddess says, “Maybe I will say hi… TONIGHT!” Could the Forever ROH Women’s Champion be the one to face the TBS Champion tonight? We’ll have to see, after the break!

Mercedes Mone VS Robyn Renegade!

#FourBeltsMone held onto the TBS Championship after getting quite the fight from Billie Starkz. But her AEW Dynasty dance card is still open. Will Mone win herself a night off? Or will this Renegade make Mone work for her money?

The bell rings and Mone circles with Robyn. They tie up, go around, and Mone headlocks. Robyn powers out but Mone runs her over! Milwaukee is tourn, but things speed up. Mone steps on Robyn’s dropdown, then does her dance. Robyn runs up, Mone gets around to waistlock, but Robyn switches. They go to ropes, Mone bucks the O’Conner, but Robyn comes back with a sunset flip! TWO, and Robyn SHOTGUNS Mone down! Robyn does her own version of Mone’s dance, then drags Mone up. Mone stops a kick to KNEE Robyn away! Mone runs in at the corner, but Robyn dodges and KNEES Mone back!

Robyn runs side to side and BOOTS Mone! The fans are still torn as Robyn puts Mone up top. Robyn climbs up, but Mone shoves her down! Mone leaps, CROSSBODY! But Robyn rolls through! Robyn shows some power as she scoops Mone and pops her around, only for Mone to slip out! Mone gut wrenches Robyn to a CIPHER UTAKI! Cover, TWO! Robyn survives and Mone is a bit surprised.

Robyn survives again but Mone is right on her! Goery Especial for the MONEY MAKER! And then STATEMENT MAKER! Robyn TAPS, Mone wins!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission

The CEO smiles as she puts this Renegade down and grabs up all her belts. Tony Schiavone joins Mone in the ring and congratulates her on another win. It seems like that the Money Train is running hotter than ever. But he understands she had something she wants to say, so the floor is hers. Mone says that’s right. The fans boo, Mone frowns, and she takes the mic from Schiavone. “I am the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And I came to AEW to win more gold. So I’m officially declaring myself in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s right! I’m planning on winning the Owen Cup.

“And then, the Money Train is gonna make her way to Texas to All In! And then, I’m going to become the AEW Women’s World Champion!” Fans are torn again but Schiavone says that tournament will have a lot of competition, including Billie Starkz, who- Mone stops Schiavone there. She doesn’t wanna hear about that stupid kid! Billie has a lot of heart, but not as much heart as Robyn! Give it up for Robyn! Way more heart than that stupid Billie. Who even trained Billie? They suck! You’re looking at the greatest women’s wrestler of all time! WAIT! Athena really IS here! The fans cheer as THE ROH Women’s World Champion is on AEW!

Athena goes to the ring, and she holds up her spinner belt while looking at Mone’s collection. The fans are all behind Athena and that annoys Mone. Mone puts her belts aside, to take a swing on Athena! Athena dodges and DECKS Mone! The fans cheer, Athena goes to the corner, and Robyn helps Mone up. Mone gets away, O-FACE for Robyn! Well, not the target Athena wanted, but Athena does look at Mone’s TBS Championship. Athena shouts, “This is MY show now!” Will Athena’s Forever Reign be the one to add more gold? Or has she just put herself on Mone’s gold colleting radar?

Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.

Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and it would seem there is unfortunate news. Aminata’s hand is wrapped up, she is unable to compete tonight. Taking her place in tonight’s main event is Billie Starkz. Given all this, how does- Serena Deeb walks in. Deeb smirks and says Aminata must know this was preventable, right? Deeb had the game plan, offered it to Aminata, and Aminata didn’t want to listen. Let’s look at history, Aminata. Every time Aminata listened, she won. Every time she didn’t, not only does she lose, she ends up injured. This is all choices. Everything they do is choices. And unfortunately, Aminata made the wrong choice.

Aminata admits, Deeb is right. Everything is about choices. And Aminata still choose not to listen to Deeb’s trash! Not listening to any of that. Okay, Queen, Deeb respects that. But deep down, Aminata knows Deeb is right. And if Aminata thinks there’s a slight chance that she knows that Deeb is right, well, Aminata will have some weeks at home to rest up. Here’s some reading material. Deeb shoves her playbook into Aminata’s hand, will Aminata do her homework?

“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS Top Flight w/ Leila Grey!

Speaking of learning, The Redwood & Bad Apple want to make The Learning Tree proud, and that means winning some championships to go along with Chris Jericho’s ROH World Title. Will Bill & Keith be one step closer to facing The Hurt Syndicate with tonight? Or will Darius & Dante Martin soar far above the trees to be next in line for gold?

The teams sort out and Bill starts against Darius. The fans rally, but Dante wants in! Darius tags Dante in, and now Keith says he wants in! Bill tags Keith, he and Dante tie up, and they go around. Keith puts Dante on ropes, Dante turns things around, but Dante lets off as the ref counts. The two go again, Keith arm-drags hard and has the armlock. Dante rolls and arm-drags free, then he DROPKICKS Keith down! The fans fire up, Dante A-LIST LARIATS! Tag to Darius, he snap suplexes Keith and tag sin Dante. Slingshot SENTON! The fans cheer, Dante brings Keith up but Keith shoves free!

Darius tags in, Top Flight gets Keith for the LARIAT STO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Darius stands Keith up to CHOP, then UPPERCUT! Darius whips corner to corner, Keith reverses, but Darius goes up and over.

Keith argues with the ref but the count is the count. Keith drops a knee on Darius’ face, then covers, TWO! Keith is getting annoyed, but he tells Dante to pipe down. Darius fires body shots and forearms, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down again. Keith brings Darius up to whip, but then sends him back the other way for an ELBOW! Bill applauds but he might be the only one. Keith steps on Darius’ face, then has a cocky cover, TWO!

Keith references Jericho but that doesn’t finish it, so Keith clamps on a CAMEL CLUTCH! Darius endures, even as Keith CLAWS his face! The ref reprimands, Keith stops, and Darius fights up. Darius pries at the hold, but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Bill BODY BLOWS Darius down! The fans are torn as Bill stalks Darius. Bill drags Darius back by a leg but the fans continue to rally for Top Flight. Keith runs in around the way, but Dante SUPERKICKS Keith first! Darius lunges forward, hot tag to Dante! The fans fire up as Dante springboards, but Bill gets under. Dante comes back, but Bill LARIATS him down! Bill grins and soaks up cheers and jeers. Bill runs in at Dante to SPLASH! Then he runs at Darius to SPLASH! Back to Dante for a BOOT! Darius dodges the lariat, but not the BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans are torn as Bill talks trash on Bobby Lashley!

Bill soaks up the cheers and jeers while Keith has Dante in the corner. Bill runs up, but Dante slips free! The SPLASH takes out Keith! Dante HURDLES Bill!?

Bill hoists Dante up, SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Cover, Bill & Keith win!

Winners: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith, by pinfall

If that teamwork and victory doesn’t say they’re ready, that look on Bill’s face sure does. Will the Learning Tree do this to the Hurt Syndicate? Or will Lashley & Shelton just hurt people?

Wait, The Cru slithers in! They have the chain necklaces ready like last week! Leila spots them, but it’s AR FOX that jumps in! Fox stands with Top Flight and The Cru backs off. Action says that’s fine, they’ll let it go this time. But will The Sight to See & The Man of the Hour ground Top Flight one way or another?

Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.

Lexy Nair is with the Southampton Hayter and welcomes her back. Last time we saw her, she was victorious over Julia Hart, and now she’s in the main event of Collision. How does it feel to be back again? Hayter says it feels great. And if you know Hayter, you know she doesn’t like doing things by half measures. So being in the main event is just another Saturday night for her. But she will say she is very excited to be in the ring with a young whippersnapper like Billie Starkz. It really injects some energy into Hayter, it lights that fire. And Billie has a lot of fire herself, and Hayter likes that. Billie gets knocked down but she gets back up.

And Hayter while respects that about Billie, she doesn’t want Billie to confuse respect for mercy. If Billie steps to Hayter, Hayter will hit back and knock her on her ass. There’s no hesitation, no second chances. So if Hayter were Billie, she’d be smart. Or, find out the hard way. Your choice. Oh, and one more thing. Hayter noticed some girls are already putting in for the Owen Hart Tournament, so Hayter will do that, too. And it is very fitting that she returned at All In last year, because this year, she leaves All In the champion! Hayter is ready, how hard will she hit Billie on this Collision?

Adam Cole is here!

The Undisputed Kingdom follows him out, complete with “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” as the Panama City Playboy prepares for his NO TIME LIMIT AEW TNT Championship match at Dynasty. As such, here comes the champion, Daniel Garcia! Daddy Magic has Garcia’s back as he goes to the ring, and the fans cheer for all parties involved. Cole has the mic and wants Garcia to listen. Cole knows tensions are high, but he’ll make this crystal clear: Cole has all the respect in the world for Garcia. The past two matches they’ve had are two of the toughest matches Cole’s had in his AEW career.

When they saw Garcia is the future of AEW, Cole means that in his soul, and the fans sure believe that. That is because Garcia is a fighting champion. When Cole challenged Garcia for the TNT Championship, Cole could not get the job done. But neither did Garcia. And so as a fighting champion, that must make Garcia sick to his stomach. He must not be able to sleep at night knowing he didn’t and couldn’t put Cole away. And unless Garcia is a coward, he’d want to change that. Cole sure wants to change that. Cole doesn’t want things to end in a draw. This needs to end with one man proving that he is better than the other, and dammit, that man is Cole!

Cole knows, Garcia knows, the entire world knows, that Garcia and Cole need to finish this fight. The fans cheer, Garcia nods, and he tells Cole he appreciates the kind words. Garcia agrees with a lot of that. They’ve been in the ring almost two months straight. And as much fun as it has been testing his iron against one of the best, truly, Garcia is getting a little bit frustrated. It is eating Garcia alive that he couldn’t beat Cole. Matt Menard tells Garcia that he is THE TNT Champion. How many chances is Cole gonna get? Garcia doesn’t need to be talked into this. It is Cole’s job to defeat Garcia, and Cole couldn’t do it!

Menard says Garcia doesn’t have to go through with this. Garcia pats Menard on the shoulder and says yeah, he doesn’t have to do this. But he wants to! So then, they will run it back one last time, BAYBAY! Roddy shouts, “DANNYYY~! Hey, listen. I have all the respect in the world for you. And just like Adam said, you are the future. And I’m not just saying this because he’s my best friend, but he is one of the best pro-wrestlers on the planet. And as good as you are, you’re just not there yet, dude.” Menard says, “Not there yet?” Menard and Roddy argue, Kyle joins in, but Garcia tells them all that this is enough!

Enough noise, enough distractions! April 6th, Kyle won’t be out there, Roddy won’t be out there, and Menard won’t be out there. Menard is a bit taken aback, but Garcia says at Dynasty, there will be no one ringside, there will be no time limit, and it will be Cole VS Garcia for the TNT Championship, ONE LAST TIME, and there WILL be a winner, cuz you’re looking right at him! Garcia holds up the title, but will he still own that title when it’s all said and done? Or is Dynasty going to be Undisputed?

Athena & Billie Starkz regroup backstage.

The Fallen Goddess says, “Mercedes~! HAHA~! Is that it?” Billie says yeah, just about. Athena says that is so annoying. But what’s the expression? Poke a bear, it might bite you? Well here’s one better. Mercedes, if you’re gonna be a passive aggressive b*tch, you’re gonna get hit. How did you like the taste of the floor? Was it good for Mercedes? Cuz it was great for Athena. So use this as a learning lesson: Keep Athena’s name, and her Minion’s name, out of your damn mouth. But hey! Mone is in the business of collecting championships? OMG, she’s such an inspiration, Athena is gonna do the same thing.

So how about this? Let’s get to real business, not that Mone knows what that is. Athena declares to her Minions and to the AEW fans around the world. Your Forever ROH Champion, Fallen Goddess, American Joshi, Minion Overlord, and all those other things, is OFFICIALLY ENTERING the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s great, right? And Billie! Billie made this all come together, what a brilliant little schemer she’s becoming. Billie has her match tonight! The main event! Look at her! And against a former AEW Women’s World Champion, Jamie Hayter. Is she ready? Yeah, she’s ready! She’ll make Athena proud!

Athena is sure Billie will find a way to disappoint, but tonight, Athena will be watching very closely. Good luck. Billie gives a salute, and it seems no matter if it’s ROH or AEW, Athena keeps Billie under her thumb. Will the inaugural and former ROH Women’s World TV Champion prove she’s ready for the big time?

Dax Harwood VS Wheeler Yuta!

Rated FTR made the challenge for the AEW World Trios Championships, The Death Riders made the challenge for Rated FTR to survive. And while Claudio wants Cope’s head on Dynamite, this Collision will kick things off! Will Dax the Ax chop down the youngest member of Moxley’s crew? Or will The Decoder already figure Dax out?

The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. They tie up, break, then go again. They break again, fans chant “YUTA SUCKS!” and Dax smirks. Dax and Yuta circle, tie up, and Dax spins Yuta to wrench an arm. Yuta rolls, switches the wrench and has the wristlock. Dax rolls, spins, and he wrenches to then slip through and headlock fort the takeover! Dax pushes Yuta down to a cover, ONE, but Dax holds onto the headlock. Yuta powers Dax to a corner, the ref counts, and both men let go slowly. Yuta KNEES low! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Yuta CHOPS! Yuta talks trash, whips corner to corner, but Dax reverses.

Yuta comes back, but Dax scoops him to SLAM him! Yuta UP KICKS, then he scoops to SLAM! Dax UP KICKS, both men get up, and Dax headlocks for a takeover! Yuta headscissors, Dax kips free, and roles reverse as now Yuta headlocks for the takeover. Dax keeps his shoulders up, but Yuta grinds the hold. The fans rally for Dax, he fights up, and Dax powers up and out. Yuta runs Dax over, keeps on moving, then he ducks the boot! Dax scoops, Yuta slips free, and Yuta chicken wings! Dax drops down to trip Yuta up, and Dax steps through, only for Yuta to scramble to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Yuta UP KICKS!

Dax snarls as he stomps Yuta down! Dax puts Yuta in a corner to CHOP! Yuta staggers, but he CHOPS in return! Dax CHOPS Yuta off his feet! The fans fire up, Dax UPPERCUTS Yuta, then brings Yuta out for a wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Yuta bails out, and he wants outta here? Dax builds speed to slide, but Yuta ducks it! Yuta sends Dax into the barriers! The fans boo but Yuta then sends Dax into steel steps! Yuta snarls while Dax clutches his arm. There are fans chanting for Yuta?! Yuta puts Dax’s arm on the steps to STOMP it! Yuta then goes to a corner, pulls the covers off the crossbars, and he drags Dax through!

Yuta stands on Dax’s arm to dig it into the crossbar! The ref reprimands, then counts, but Yuta stops at 4, and he reminds the ref, “I have ’til FIVE!” The fans are torn as Yuta copies Danielson, then he drags Dax up to the very top. SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men are down and Milwaukee fires up as Collision goes picture in picture.

A standing count starts, but Yuta crawls over to Dax at 4 of 10. Cover, TWO! Yuta is annoyed but he drags Dax into a top wristlock. Yuta stands on the arm, then STOMPS it! Dax scrambles away to the corner, but Yuta goes out to grab the bad arm! Yuta SLAMS the arm into the POST! Dax scrambles away again, but Yuta stalks him. Dax CHOPS Yuta, but Yuta takes the bad arm! Yuta SLAMS the arm off the steps, then he flexes while soaking up cheers and jeers. Dax goes into the ring, Yuta goes up top, and Yuta MISSILE DROPKICKS! Yuta kips up, grins, and then takes a bow. Yuta STOMPS the bad arm again, and Dax goes to another corner.

Yuta storms up to CLUB Dax, then he wraps the bad arm around the ropes! The ref counts, Yuta stops at 4, and then he wrenches Dax into a snapmare. Yuta drops a knee on the elbow! Then Yuta clamps on a cording hold, only for Dax to fight up. Yuta wrenches, but Dax ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS Yuta, then JABS, JABS, JABS, before he DECKS Yuta! Yuta gets up but Dax DECKS him again! Dax LARIATS Yuta up and out, then hurries after him. Dax counter punches Yuta, runs up, but Yuta dodges! Dax runs into the POST! Yuta hurries to THROW Dax over the barriers! The ref reprimands Yuta while Collision returns to single picture.

Yuta returns to the ring, soaks up the heat, then goes back outside. Dax rises, Yuta ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS, Yuta ROCKS, then Dax ROCKS Yuta again and again! Dax DECKS Yuta, then hops up an dover the barrier. Dax reels Yuta in, but Yuta fights the driver! The bad arm also holds Dax back, and then Yuta BACKDROPS free! Yuta hears the ring count, and he puts Dax in at 6 of 10. Yuta storms in, but Dax has his leg! DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Yuta hobbles, Dax grabs the leg for a DRAGON SCREW! Dax drags Yuta to a corner, and now for some payback! Dax SLAMS Yuta’s leg into the POST! Yuta writhes, but Dax grabs the legs again!

Dax shouts out The Hitman with the HANGING FIGURE FOUR! Yuta shouts in pain, the ref reprimands and counts, but Dax lets go at 4. Dax storms in, Yuta wants mercy, but Dax just grabs the leg again.

Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall

Dax can’t believe it, but he just got suckered in! Yuta celebrates like he’s already won the title match, and Claudio is there to pat Yuta on the back. Will the Death Riders keep scoring as Claudio takes on Cope? Or can Rated FTR even things up before Dynasty? Dax argues with the ref, the ref says his decision stands. His count was the count, there’s nothing to it. But then Dax gets in the ref’s face?!? Security rushes in there, but Dax fights them!? They hold Dax down, but Cash YANKS them all off him! But then Dax SHOVES Cash?! Dax realizes what he did and he apologizes. Cash is stunned, but just what is going on with Dax’s emotional state?

Dax offers a hand, Cash slaps it away to get in Dax’s face! Dax says he’s sorry, it was a mistake, but then Cash storms off. Well, guess you can’t spell frustration without F T R. Will they be able to sort this out before arriving in Philadelphia?

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

Alicia Atout is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & Mother Shayna, and notes that just like last week, they’re here without any sign of Christian Cage. Just what is going on with The Patriarchy? But before anyone can speak up, The Cru barges in. Lio Rush asks Nick, “What’s up with your boy, Fox, man?” Nick says, “Huh?” Lio repeats himself, what’s up with his boy? Uh, his boy? Fox is far from Nick’s boy. Really? They know they’re history together. Didn’t Fox try to end Nick’s career? So Nick is just gonna chill back here while Fox is out there still breathing? Nick says okay, he gets what they’re up to here. Oh, really? And what’s that?

What The Cru is really doing is asking Nick for help, simply because they can’t get the job done. Oh, is that so? Nick doesn’t blame them for asking him. But Nick’s done with Fox, that is well in the past. Well Nick’s past is creeping up on their present, so for them, that’s an issue. Oh, is that really an issue? Kip has Nick calm down. These “gentlemen” surely didn’t come and interrupt them without a reason, so The Patriarchy should hear them out. AKA, get to the point. Lio says this is all they’re saying. Three of them, two of The Cru. But when the time is right, nobody knows Fox better than Nick Wayne. Just think on it.

The Cru heads out, but will The Patriarchy’s Prodigy take them up on the offer to team up?

Holo.grm VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!

The futuristic luchador’s undefeated streak continues, even as he joins Komander as a Titan of the Air. But while Hologram & Komander have settled things with La Faccion Ingobernable, this battle is about the Revolution Zero Hour last month. Will the Vanilla Babyface avenge that loss? Or will he just be number 22 on Hologram’s win streak?

Vanilla Babyface was spicy, but Hologram comes out hotter! Will this 22-0 streak show Hologram is ready for a golden opportunity?

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Kris Statlander.

Lexy is now with La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest as she says we can officially announce they are also entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Kris says that last year, she was a completely different person in a much different place. But she still had the same goals as she does today. “To every woman in this tournament, and to every woman in the locker room, you can’t stop Stat!” Rosa says, “Unless you face me.” Much respect to Kris, but like Rosa told Toni Storm, Rosa never lost the AEW Women’s World Championship, and she’s yet to wear one since. So believe her when she says this: She will scratch and claw harder than ever to have the Cup above her head.

Kris says, “Unless you face me.” Rosa says okay, mamacita. See you in the Owen. They each wish the other luck, and then head out. Will La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest battle to prove who is TRULY the best of the best?

Jamie Hayter VS Billie Starkz!

Hayter was preparing for Aminata, but it would seem Aminata’s loss to Hart has also lost her some time in the ring. But Billie is ready to step up to prove herself worthy of AEW’s bright lights! Will this be the start of Starkz’s legacy? Or will Hayter Hit Hard enough to be the number one seed in the Owen Hart Cup?

The bell rings and Billie circles with Hayter. Milwaukee cheers on Billie and Hayter encourages it. The two then tie up, and Hayter powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts, Hayter lets off with a pat on the shoulder, and Billie frowns. The two reset, tie up again, and Hayter again powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts again, and Hayter lets off with another pat on the shoulder. Billie frowns again, but the fans duel, “Let’s Go, Jamie!” “Billie Starkz!” They tie up, Hayter headlocks, and she grinds Billie down. Billie powers up and out, but Hayter runs Billie over! Things keep moving and Hayter runs Billie over again!

Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, but Billie is right up to stare Hayter down. The fans cheer, but Hayter pie faces Billie! Billie ROCKS Hayter! Billie whips, then follows, and she sunset flips over, TWO! Hayter gets up, Billie BUZZSAWS her down! The fans rally up, Billie whips Hayter but Hayter reverses. Hayter runs up, but into an ELBOW! Hayter comes back, but into a BOOT! Hayter is annoyed, she blocks boots this time but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Billie goes up, up, but Hayter TOSSES Billie down! Billie writhes, rises, and Hayter is up the corner to MISSILE DROPKICK! Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Hayter stalks Billie, stomps her down, then stands on her! Billie endures until Hayter steps off, and then Hayter puts Billie on the ropes. Hayter CHOKES Billie, the ref counts, and Hayter steps off at 4. Hayter “apologizes” before she stalks Billie. Hayter drags Billie up, DDTS her by the ropes, then puts her back on the ropes. Hayter KNEE DROPS on Billie’s back, then KNEE DROPS again! And again! The ref reprimands but Hayter backs off. Hayter fires up the fans, then she goes back to kneel on Billie’s neck! The ref reprimands and counts, that’s not a cover! Hayter backs off, “apologizes” again, then has Billie in a corner.

Hayter smacks Billie off buckles, then runs her corner to corner to smack her off more buckles! Then Hayter goes to a third corner for buckle bumps! Hayter says let’s finish the set, and she runs Billie corner to corner for a buckle bump! Billie falls back, Hayter dusts her hands off, and then brings Billie up. But Billie WRINGS Hayter’s arm! And she SUPERKICKS Hayter down! Hayter staggers up, ducks the heel kick, and she shoves Billie for a SPINEBUSTER! Hayter then turns Billie over, HALF CRAB! Billie endures, reaches out for ropes, but Hayter sits deep on the hold! Billie reaches out, grits her teeth, and Collision returns to single picture.

Hayter tells Billie to just give up, but Billie refuses! The fans rally harder, and Billie powers up! Billie claws and crawls, to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Hayter lets go in frustration. Hayter runs, but Billie DUMPS her to the apron! Hayter swings, Billie ducks it to sweep the legs! SUPERKICK and Hayter goes to the floor! Billie builds speed and DIVES! Down goes Hayter at the ramp! Billie rises, the fans fire up, and Billie drags Hayter up and into the ring. Billie hurries up the corner while Hayter is down, SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Hayter stays in this and Billie is seeing what it is to be a former world champion.

Billie drags Hayter up, reels her in, and suplexes, only for Hayter to slip free! The fans duel while Hayter fireman’s carries, but Billie slips free to throw her down! Hayter gets up, DOUBLE FOREARMS from both women connect! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES connect, too! And then Hater SHOTGUNS Billie into a corner! The fans rally up harder while both women are down! Billie drags herself up with the ropes, Hayter rises at center. Hayter powers up, kisses the bicep, but Billie ducks the lariat to suplex! GHOSTBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives and Billie is shocked! Billie seethes, and she storms up on Hayter!

Billie Electric Chair Lifts Hayter, but Hayter fires hands! Hayter shoves Billie away, fireman’s carries, and USHIGOROSHI! Hayter runs, and SLIDING HAYTERADE!! Cover, TWO!! Billie survives and now Hayter is frustrated! Hayter is seeing why Billie is the first and former ROH Women’s TV Champion. Hayter hauls Billie up, but Billie ducks the lariat! SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Billie powers up, runs, but Hayter follows to LARIAT at the ropes! Hayter runs, Billie follows, and Billie BOOTS Hayter at the ropes! Billie runs, but Hayter SUPERKICKS! And ENZIGIRIS! Billie winds up, but Hayter gets under! GERMAN SUPLEX!! Cover, TWO!!

The fans are thunderous while Hayter is beside herself. Hayter grits her teeth and vows to end it! Hayter throws off the armbands, drags Billie up to wind up and- NO, Billie ducks the lariat to cravat and KNEE SMASH, then HEEL KICK! Billie fires up, winds up, but Hayter ducks that shot! Billie tries again, but Hayter blocks it to a cording hold! Hayter brings Billie along as she goes to the ropes, SPRINGBOARD HAYTERADE!!! Cover, HAYTER WINS!

Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall

Now that was a Collision! Hayter is back, and she finds a new way to hit hard! Athena walks out on stage, and she waves hi to Hayter. Whether Billie impressed her or disappointed her, Athena now has her eyes on Hayter and everyone else in the Owen Hart Cup. Will the Fallen Goddess learn for herself that Hayter Hits Hard? Or will the Owen Hart Cup join the Athena World Domination Tour soon enough?

My Thoughts:

A very good Collision, talky as usual, but very good build towards Dynasty and the Owen Hart Cup simultaneously. Great opening promo from Toni, because she’s always great at promos, but they did a great job framing Ford’s blindside attack on Toni. And while Toni takes down Ford, Megan of course gets the last say on Toni. Toni is the underdog champion, knows she is, but knows she won’t let that stop her, and surely she comes out on top at Dynasty. Good promo from The Death Riders to hype up Dynamite. Claudio was very clever in using “Edge” and “Cope” in his part, and he will have a great match against Cope, but I would think Cope wins.

Marina had a great part calling out Willow, and that Mixed Tornado Tag will be awesome stuff. Dax VS Yuta was great, too, and real good win for Yuta. Dax losing his cool further waters the seed that is an FTR Heel Turn, but if this keeps up between Dax and Cash, could we end up with FTR VS FTR? That’d be rather wild, but it’d also make sense since FTR at some point said they were drawing closer to the end of their careers. A tag team like them, that has already done so much, having a 1v1 against each other is kinda the last thing to check off their bucket lists.

Great tag match from Bill & Keith VS Top Flight, one of the best Top Flight’s had in a minute since they’ve been going back and forth between AEW and ROH, but I figured Bill & Keith would win. They want their shot at The Hurt Syndicate, this gets them a step closer to that, and Top Flight still has The Cru after them anyway. I’m just not sure The Cru asking Nick Wayne to help out against Top Flight & AR Fox is the kind of story continuity they should be using right about now… Nick’s busy with this story against Christian Cage, he should focus on that. Unless the point is, if Patriarchy falls apart, Nick needs somewhere to go and someone to hand out with. But then The Cru is just three- Gasp! Cru-serweights…!

Great promo segment from Cole, Garcia and their friends, but uh, the announcement came in right as this segment started, so for us at home, it completely undercut how Garcia and Cole were building to making the No Time Limit title match. This is all still the right move, and Garcia telling Menard to stay away from ringside was a wild twist. Cole VS Garcia could be a borderline show stealer given how great their 20 minute draw was last time. And I still think that Cole should win the title, just so he finally has something in AEW aside from the tag title run alongside MJF. As for Garcia, losing the TNT title could be his opportunity to move on to another title, like the International or Continental Championship.

Hologram VS Blake was a rather random match to put on, but whatever, still great stuff. I wonder who finally pins/submits Hologram to end his win streak. It’d have to be someone that fans already have strong feelings for, good or bad. Like, Ospreay could get away being the guy that beats Hologram because it’s Ospreay. At the same time, MJF or Jericho could beat Hologram because not only do they have the power level, but fans love to hate them anyway so they’d love to hate MJF or Jericho as the guy who ended the streak.

And great stuff with the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, but also a build between Mercedes Mone and Athena. Mone of course beat Robyn Renegade, but she of course also had to talk trash on Billie & Athena. Athena finally being on AEW TV is great in itself, and she had a good promo with Billie to touch on the love-hate relationship between Minion Overlord and Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths that we’ve seen the past two years on ROH. Aminata going down with injury is a shame, and her promo with Deeb could’ve been a bit sharper on both ends. But Deeb naturally puts it on Aminata that Aminata needs to either join her or wrestle her, and I’m thinking we get the latter.

Good promo from Rosa and Statlander to not only add them to the Owen Hart Cup but to tease their match-up. Hayter VS Billie was a great main event, and it was another great showing for Billie in the loss. Athena confronting Hayter was also good stuff, and both Owen Hart Cups are looking to be the most star-studded ones yet. But as it stands, I’m thinking Rosa wins to get that world title match she has yet to get, and then we get Mone VS Athena for the TBS Championship, as teased tonight. All In: Texas will basically give both Rosa and Athena homefield advantage, and it’d be pretty wild if both of them won titles then.
