PLAY BY PLAY
CM Punk sits in the ring.
Fans chant his name and Punk says, “If you don’t know by now, you should. My name is C, M, Punk. And what I am is straightedge. I’m drug free, I’m alcohol free, and that means I’m better than you. Does that sound familiar? Those words I spoke for the first time over 20 years ago, and they became the foundation for my career. And I can sit here in Nashville, Tennessee and feel pride that that foundation grew into such a career that I have managed to inspire the next generation of professional wrestling.” Some are in the back because they became wrestlers because of him. Some are straightedge like him, and some sit like he does.
And then there’s MJF. He tries to walk like Punk, to talk like Punk, but he can never think like Punk. But when MJF beat Punk in his hometown… twice… You would think that Punk would be furious. But the truth is, Max, Punk is proud of you. But where MJF strays from the path is failing to retain the knowledge he is being taught. MJF thinks he’s Piper in Portland, Bret in Calgary and Punk in Chicago, when he’s really just sh*tty little Max from shi*tty little Long Island. The foundation of MJF’s career is a diamond ring he won with the help of other people. So now the situation is this: because of last week, thanks to Jon Moxley’s assist, Punk now gets to pick the time, the place, and the match for his rematch with lil’ Max.
So to get right to it: the time is after sundown; the place is Orlando, Florida; the date is March 6th; the PPV is Revolution; which leaves Punk with a match type. He thought of his toughest matches ever. And the situation he’s in, maybe… They go in a cage. Well, Punk’s seen Wardlow, that guy can climb a cage and MJF can still run away from the lessons he needs to be taught. Piper in Portland? Well, Punk thinks back into the vault, the matches he’s had with legends. The cage matches were easy because believe it or not, he’s won more of those than he’s lost. And losing got Punk thinking. What matches has he lost?
The irony of losing a tough match is that is where you really learn. Punk says MJF needs to learn a lesson. The toughest matches, where Punk has literally left pieces of himself in the ring! Piper in Portland keeps repeating in Punk’s head. If MJF wants to be like Piper, he’ll have to be tied to Punk. Punk is poetically going to ask MJF what Piper once asked. Will you be Punk’s Valentine? He brings out a dog collar!! MJF is backstage, pissing himself, Punk is sure of that. No one wants to be in a dog collar match. They take years off your life, but that’s the lesson MJF needs to be taught! And Punk wants MJF to be here for this last part because Punk wants to see MJF’s face when he says it.
Punk waits, and here comes MJF! Punk wants MJF to take this all in. And he’ll leave us with this: the picture of young Maxwell and Punk. Max surely remembers “The greatest day of his life,” and it was just a Friday for Punk. But Sunday, March 6th, Orlando, Florida, will be the worst day of MJF’s life, and it’ll just be another Sunday to Punk. The price MJF paid to see Punk on that Friday long ago will be nothing compared to what he’ll pay on March 6th. The canvas Punk sits on won’t be stained with MJF’s sh*tty suntan, it’ll be stained with his BLOOD! Punk bites the dog collar chain as fans chant his name.
MJF’s answer? He just drops the mic! He has finally been silenced! But will Punk finally settle the score when he has MJF by the throat?
Backstage interview with Jurassic Express and Christian Cage.
AEW returns and Tony Schiavone announces that Revolution will have a TRIPLE THREAT for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. We’ll find out which teams will be going against Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus in next week’s Tag Team Battle Royale, and then the Casino Tag Team Battle Royale the week after. JB loves a good three way tag match, and loves winning battle royals. Captain Charisma laughs that off, and says over the next few weeks, there’ll be some changes in the AEW Tag Division. But after Revolution, one thing remains the same: Luchasaurus & JB as AEW World Tag Team Champions!
Bryan Danielson VS Lee Moriarty!
The American Dragon wants to forge the future of wrestling, but with Jon Moxley by his side. The Maniac has yet to give an answer, but Moriarty heard Bryan talking and wants to show him what he’s made of. Bryan has wanted nothing less, but will he get more than he bargained for out of #TYGASTYLE?
The bell rings and fans rally up already. Bryan offers a handshake, fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” but then Bryan leaves Moriarty hanging. They circle, tie up with knuckle locks, and go around. They trade facelocks, Moriarty waistlocks, but Bryan wrenches through to a double wristlock takedown. Moriarty fights up but Bryan puts him on ropes. The ref counts, fans sing for Moriarty, but Bryan SLAPS Moriarty! Bryan backs off and fans boo but Moriarty just checks his chin. Moriarty and Bryan circle, knuckle lock again, and Moriarty shoots in to trip Bryan for a toehold! Bryan endures, fights through to waistlock and get a leg.
Bryan drops a knee on the knee, has a toehold of his own, then stands on both legs. Bryan gets the arms, fans rally up and Bryan pulls the arms. Up, up and ROMERO SPECIAL! Moriarty endures the surfboard, Bryan brings him back into a dragon sleeper variation! But Moriarty claws Bryan’s face and gets the chicken wing! Bryan scrambles for the ropes to deny the rest of the hold, Moriarty lets up but Bryan puts him on ropes again. Another SLAP! Bryan kicks low, whips, but Moriarty rolls off the back, sweeps the legs and PENALTY KICKS the arm! Moriarty fires up and so do the fans Moriarty drags Bryan up and gets a straitjacket stretch,
Bryan powers through, puts the straitjacket on Moriarty, but Moriarty puts Bryan in a corner. Bryan lets go, Moriarty fires off EuroUppers! Moriarty whips corner to corner, Bryan goes up and over and things keep moving. Moriarty EuroUppers Bryan outta the ring! Then he slingshots, but lands on the apron. Bryan catches him coming back in, hooks him in the ropes and fires off YES KICKS! Though fans are torn, “YES!” “NO!” Bryan lets off as the ref counts, and then drags Moriarty along the rope for a DRAPING KNEE STRIKE! Bryan soaks up the cheers and jeers while AEW goes picture in picture.
Bryan taunts Moriarty, he drags Moriarty up by a knuckle lock, but Moriarty wrenches through! But Bryan claws Moriarty’s face to stop the elbow breaker! Bryan CLUBS Moriarty in the face, then bumps him off buckles. Bryan gives Moriarty more YES KICKS! The ref reprimands and counts, but Bryan just KCICKS again. Moriarty turns things around to fire off EuroUpper after EuroUpper, only for Bryan to DECK him with a EuroUpper in return! Bryan taunts Moriarty a bit more, paces around him, and then drags Moriarty up. Bryan HEADBUTTS Moriarty and Moriarty staggers to ropes.
Bryan taunts the fans, then brings Moriarty up to whip to ropes. Bryan CLOBBERS Moriarty, then soaks up the cheers and jeers again. Moriarty sputters but Bryan sits him up for a neck wrench. Moriarty endures as Bryan focuses on a chinbar. Bryan stands Moriarty up, but Moriarty throws body shots in return! Bryan HEADBUTTS him down! Bryan gets Moriarty up for a SNAP HALF HATCH! AEW returns to single picture, Bryan knuckle lock covers. TWO as Moriarty gets one arm up! Bryan tries again, TWO as Moriarty gets the other arm up. Bryan tries again, TWO as Moriarty bridges up!
Bryan puts his weight on Moriarty and brings him down! TWO as Moriarty bridges up! Bryan knees him down, TWO as Moriarty manages to get up again! Bryan tires a full body cover, TWO! Moriarty hooks Bryan’s legs with his legs! They both bridges, and then start throwing jabs! They topple over, Bryan gets on top to rain down fists! But Moriarty turns it around to do the same! But Bryan shifts, omoplata and LEBELLE LOCK! Moriarty scrambles, ROPEBREAK with a foot! The fans are thunderous as Bryan lets off at 4! “This is Awesome!” and still not over yet! Bryan kicks Moriarty at the ropes then eggs him on.
Bryan whips Moriarty, Moriarty reverses, SAIDO! Bryan tumbles to a corner and Moriarty fires up! Fans are fired up with Moriarty and he fires forearms! Bryan EuroUppers then eggs Moriarty on! Moriarty forearms back, so Bryan gives him another EuroUpper! Moriarty throws another forearm, Bryan EuroUppers again! And again! And again, but into a backslide! TWO!! Bryan hurries up, he backslides but Moriarty flips through, into a SLAP! Moriarty has had it with those! Moriarty SLAPS and ROCKS and forearms and elbows Bryan over and over! Bryan dodges, ROLLING ELBOW! Moriarty drops to his knees, but he blocks the buzzsaw!
Moriarty flips Bryan around, LARIAT, but Bryan catches it! But Moriarty turns that into his BELLY2BELLY! Cover, TWO!! Moriarty hurries to back mount, and he throws down palm strikes to Bryan’s back! This is the violence Bryan wanted! BORDER CITY STRETCH!! Bryan crawls, endures, reaches, fans duel but Bryan pops and rolls, TWO! Moriarty holds on but Bryan makes it a SNAP SHOULDER CAPTURE SUPLEX! Bryan grins, enjoying the violence! Moriarty gets up, BUSAIKU KNEE!! Bryan isn’t done, though! “It’s time to kick his head off!” Bryan gets the wrists, holds Moriarty up, DANIELSON STOMPS!
Bryan drags Moriarty into a TRIANGLE SLEEPER! No hands as Bryan flexes, Moriarty is OUT! Bryan wins!
Winner: Bryan Danielson, by submission
The American Dragon slays #TYGASTYLE, but then he gets a mic to speak. “Ladies and gentlemen, I came out here to teach Lee Moriarty a thing or two about violence. And I wanna know. Did he pass? Or did he fail?” Fans are torn, so Bryan says, “And that’s why I don’t trust the American public with anything.” But that’s not even why he’s got the mic. Bryan asked Jon Moxley to team up with him to create a whole new AEW! To teach the young wrestlers about violence! And Jon Moxley, Bryan wants his answer! Bryan waits, and here comes Mox! He enters from the crowd as always, and fans sing Wild Thing for him.
Moxley finally gets to ringside and enters the ring to join Bryan. But what’s his answer? Bryan hands the mic over and Moxley says, “Little over a decade ago, I was a lot like that Lee Moriarty kid. I was a lot like a lot of the kids in the AEW locker room. I was young, I was angry, I was poor, I had nothing to lose, and I took a shot at taking down the great American Dragon, Bryan Danielson.” It was an indie show in Ohio, Bryan was late, his flight was delayed because of weather, so they sent Tracy Smothers out to vamp with the fans for like 45 minutes. Finally, Mox goes to the ring, Bryan pulls up in his gear, goes through the kitchen to the ring and that’s the first time they met.
Mox met the best wrestler in the world. Mox gave everything he had, balls out, tooth ‘n’ nail, but came up short. But he got a taste of the best made Moxley meaner, angrier and want it more! Over the years, Mox had more shots at Bryan. And every single time, Mox came up short. In fact, Mox has never beaten Bryan Danielson. That’s true! So when Bryan showed up in AEW, everyone else was intimidated, but Moxley was excited to finally put the one head up on his wall he never had, to slay the one dragon he hadn’t yet. No puns intended, American Dragon. But as it turns out, Bryan Danielson doesn’t wanna fight Mox, he wants to join forces with him.
Moxley was listening to everything Bryan said that night. And honestly, he thought of how awesome that could be. All the arms they could snap, all the skulls they could cave in. They’d be a dream team dynasty of pure wrestling violence! Then Mox thought, not just about the destruction, but what they could create. The young guys they could bring along with them. They could give something back to the business and AEW, the legacy they could leave! And not to lie, Moxley couldn’t think of one good reason to say no to that. But then Moxley thought, is the only reason Bryan wants to be side by side with Moxley because he doesn’t want to find himself across the ring from Moxley?
Does Bryan know that Moxley will do to him what he’s done to everyone else put in front of him these last three years? If that’s the case, then Moxley’s already beaten Bryan Danielson. So does Bryan wanna genuinely be Moxley’s partner so that they can create? Or is it because he doesn’t want to be destroyed. So then Bryan, Moxley isn’t saying yes, but he’s not saying no. This is up to Bryan. Moxley isn’t that young kid anymore. And for all intents and purposes, this is their first meeting in AEW, Moxley doesn’t stand side by side with nobody until he bleeds with ’em first! Is that a match challenge? And will Bryan take Moxley up on it?
Keith Lee speaks.
“It was only a matter of time. The anticipation was essentially tangible. The Limitless One has arrived in AEW. And with the arrival comes the qualification for the Face of the Revolution ladder match. And it’s so fitting, as the first person to qualify, this is the one instance where you don’t save the best for last. It is the first and best and the new Face of the Revolution. It is yours truly, the Limitless One, Keith Lee. And when I tell you I’m coming here to make a statement, phase one is done. The ladder match is phase two, and when I’m done with that, the TNT Championship shall be mine.”
Face of the Revolution Ladder Match Qualifier: Wardlow w/ Shawn Spears VS Max Caster w/ Anthony Bowens!
We already know there is a Limitless One in the match, the The Pinnacle’s Maestro of Mayhem looks to break through to join him. But of course, Platinum Max has a diss rap on deck! “If Wardlow thinks he can beat me, he’s crazy. Acclaimed beats down brothers more than Da Baby. Look at him, I’m not trippin’. He’s overrated like Nashville Hot Chicken. I’m not the guy to be fightin’, I knock you out the first round like tha Titans. And we all know the sitch, boy. You not a man, just MJF’s bitch boy!” NASHVIIIILLE~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Will Max make the ladder match critically acclaimed? Or will Wardlow drop Caster harder than the beat?
The bell rings and Wardlow circles with Caster. They feel out the grapple but Caster backs off. They tie up, Wardlow fakes Caster but Caster gets away before the bomb. They tie up again, Caster gets around and clubs Wardlow, but it does nothing! Wardlow lunges but Caster slips away, and Bowens swipes Wardlow’s foot! The ref reprimands, Caster BOOTS Wardlow! Caster fires forearms in the corner, Wardlow shoves Caster away and dodges as AEW goes picture in picture.
Caster bounces off buckles, into Wardlow’s OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Caster ends up in the opposite corner! He bails out before Wardlow can get him, but Wardlow goes out to pursue. And CLOBBER Caster with a clothesline! Fans rally, Spears cheers Wardlow on, and Wardlow brings Caster up to bump him off the apron. Wardlow glares at Bowens, Caster gets around the corner but Wardlow pursues. Wardlow puts Caster in, but Caster bails out the opposite side. Wardlow is annoyed as The Acclaimed regroup. Wardlow goes out, runs in but is sent into the steps! Bowens mocks Wardlow’s pain, but Wardlow still almost gets him!
Caster stomps Wardlow, SMACKS him off the steps, and then he brings Wardlow up. Wardlow throws a body shot but Caster ROCKS Wardlow, then APRON BACK SUPLEXES! Caster pushes Wardlow in, covers, ONE! Caster keeps on Wardlow with haymakers but Wardlow throws them back! They go back and forth, Wardlow gets the edge, but Cater hits back! Caster uppercuts then fires up, but Wardlow gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Wardlow rolls Caster, reels him in, but Bowens drags Caster out to make the save! Bowens gets on the apron and eggs Wardlow on. And in a bit of Pinnacle copy-paste, Bowens drops his chain to Caster!
Wardlow runs Bowens off, goes after Caster and throws him in the ring. Wardlow calls his shot as AEW returns to single picture. Fans fire up, Spears tries to point out what The Acclaimed did, but that only distracts the ref when Caster PLATINUM PUNCHES Wardlow! Caster hurries up top, MIC DROP ELBOW! Cover, TWO!! Wardlow survives and The Acclaimed can’t believe it! Caster reels Wardlow in, puts one out, but Wardlow is too big to lift! Wardlow back drops out! Bowens tries to help Caster again, but Wardlow BOOTS Caster into Bowens! Wardlow then reels Caster in, POWERBOMB!
Fans are thunderous for “One More Time! One More Time!” Wardlow gets Caster up, POWERBOMB! And then again, POWERBOMB! One foot cover, Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall (advances to the Face of the Revolution)
But then Bowens attacks! Bowens stomps Wardlow down, but Spears doesn’t see it happening! Wardlow gets up, choke grips and reels Bowens in, POWERBOMB!! And now Spears throws his chair around on The Acclaimed. What good is he as an accountabilibuddy? But at least Wardlow is in the ladder match. Will he win it and then the title, to unfortunately hand it over to MJF?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Martinez and Britt Baker.
Jamie Hayter and Rebel are of course with The Doctor as Tony Schiavone says the No Disqualification match is still to come. Mercedes says No DQ, no rules, no excuses. And Britt adds no losing. Remember: Britt brought Mercedes here, so she needs to finish Thunder Rosa. Then it is undeniable: Britt Baker, DMD, is the most powerful woman in all of pro-wrestling with the best squad, and the best sensei. In steps Cobra Kai’s Martin Kove, aka Sensei Kreese! Mercedes says she knows her job. It’s time to murder a b*tch. Britt asks Kove what to do if Mercedes loses. He says she knows what to do. “Finish her. No mercy.”
Rampage is gonna be a SLAM DUNK!
Because NBA All Star Weekend is this weekend, Rampage is going to be THREE HOURS EARLIER! Instead of 10 PM Eastern, it’ll be 7 PM!
AEW returns and Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone introduces the AEW World Champion, HANGMAN ADAM PAGE! The Millennial Cowboy survived the Texas Deathmatch against Lance Archer and still has #PrettyPlatinum on his arm, and Nashville is ready for some #CowboyShit! Schiavone says this man doesn’t back down from a fight, and you can see the scars on his eyebrow. How is he doing, though, after that violent match? Hangman says he’s surprised, but then Adam Cole interrupts. “First of all, Nashville, if you could do me a favor, and please give a very warm round of applause for our AEW World Champion.” Hangman’s been in some battles!
There were the two matches with Bryan Danielson, then the war to win the title off Kenny Omega. Speaking of, that was a war with Lance Archer last week. One of the craziest Cole has ever seen, against one of the biggest and baddest AEW has to offer. And Hangman still has the title. Schiavone, get the hell outta the ring. Cole is alone with Hangman now as Cole says Hangman earned the right to call himself AEW World Champion. But Cole’s been a world champion everywhere he’s gone. But right now, Hangman is champion, but that reign will have to end pretty soon.
Hangman says he often wondered how it must’ve felt for Cole to leave, then watch from a distance as his friends built a wrestling empire without him. And Hangman also wonders that now it must feel weird being in the ring with his Bullet Club buddy, his ROH roommate, and seeing he’s the AEW World Champion, knowing that this is the one world title Cole will never hold. Cole says that’s funny, Hangman bringing up friendship. Let’s talk about that. Like Nick & Matt Jackson, the Young Bucks. They haven’t said Hangman’s name in weeks! Or what about the Dark Order? That’s supposed to be Hangman’s crew, but he hasn’t associated with them for months.
So truth be told, what kind of friend is Hangman? Hangman says he’s not perfect. Really, when he thinks about it, Cole doesn’t have the best record with friendship, either. So Hangman has regrets, has made mistakes, but the more Cole talks, the more Hangman thinks Cole getting in this ring with him was Cole’s biggest mistake. Cole wants Hangman to cool off. He’s just being frank because they’ve known each other for over a decade. And Hangman has become “an unbelievable professional wrestler, and an unbelievable world champion.
“But now, Hangman, I’m here in AEW. And truth be told, now that I’m here in AEW, where any time we’ve been in the same promotion together, you’ve always been known as the other Adam. Hangman puts the belt down, and the mic, and rolls up his sleeves. Cole wants Hangman to wait and listen. Cole means this from the bottom of his heart, he has nothing but love, respect and admiration for Hangman. If he could share the ring with anyone here, it’d be Hangman. So trust Cole when he says that some day, they will fight for the AEW World Championship. And it’ll be 1v1, man to man, Page VS Cole.
“And when that day does come, filled with respect, may the best man win.” Cole holds out a handshake, and Hangman takes it. Cole leaves, but will all of that love, respect and admiration turn into arrogance and violence? Wait, reDRagon attacks Hangman from behind!! Cole’s other friends are beating up Hangman! Cole rushes back in, and he joins in! That sure didn’t take long! But security rushes out, only to be pushed aside by Cole, Fish and O’Reilly! So here comes THE DARK ORDER! They outnumber Cole & reDRagon so they take off. The Dark Order’s Preston Vance takes his anger out on the security guards!
The rest of the Dark Order has to subdue Vance before he completely wipes them all out! But then he TOSSES the last guy out on to the rest! Is that Number 10 saying he will be the one to humble Adam Cole?
AEW hears from tonight’s main eventers.
Darby Allin says, “Everybody says that Sammy Guevara and Darby Allin both have a death wish. We don’t know why we do what we do, but I think it comes from something that’s missing in our lives. We try to fill this void. The only time that void wasn’t there was when I was TNT Champion.” Going out there and wrestling is therapy for Darby, so surely it is for Sammy. The Spanish God says, “Go back and look at any Darby Allin VS Sammy Guevara match, go back to our time on the indies, go back to AEW, it doesn’t matter, it’s all irrelevant. I beat him, he beat me, none of that matters now.”
They’ve both been TNT Champion. Darby was a great champion, but he’s not going to be better than Sammy. Darby says tonight means the most. He needs this. Who walks out of Nashville the strongest, most relentless TNT Champion in AEW?
Chris Jericho & Jake Hager VS Santana & Ortiz!
Speaking of Sammy, he put the rest of the Inner Circle on notice. If this issue can’t be resolved, then there shouldn’t be an Inner Circle. Will Le Champion and Rock Hard Hager make Santana & Ortiz fall in line? Or will Proud ‘n’ Powerful fight out of Jericho’s shadow to go for the gold?

Brandon Cutler’s camera is live backstage.
The Young Bucks, reDRagon and Adam Cole are gathered and Kyle says they just beat the hell outta Hangman. But where were the Bucks during all that? Matt says beating up Hangman is beating a dead horse. Anyone but him, honestly. Nick agrees, but Kyle doesn’t get that saying. Cole says for everyone to let it go. The next few weeks are a HUGE few weeks for The Elite. In two night’s time, Cole woops Preston Vance’s ass all over the ring. Then Jay White beats the hell outta Trent Beretta! And next week on Dynamite, one of two Tag Team Battle Royals happens to crown one of two contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships, for a Triple Threat match at Revolution.
And boys, next week is a good time for the Bucks to pick up a W. Oh, well, uh, maybe reDRagon wins the first one, and then the Bucks have a chance to win the second one. Oh, how funny. Kyle, where’ve you been again? Matt hasn’t seen Kyle in weeks. Uh, he was nominated for father of the year for having a first baby. Fish congratulates Kyle but Matt sarcastically says, “Oh, wow, so cool.” Matt has two kids, Nick has three. Guys, guys, c’mon! You all have beautiful kids! This group, this faction, it is also beautiful. They cannot be stopped, they have to get on the same page. Right, then the Bucks will see reDRagon in the battle royal.
Cole’s friends leave in different directions, Cutler asks him which way he’s gonna go. Shut up, Brandon, turn the camera off! With no one watching, which way does Cole go?
No Disqualifications: Mercedes Martinez VS Thunder Rosa!
Britt Baker brought in the mercenary known as Mean Ms. Mercedes, but her pipe attack wasn’t enough. Will Mercedes finish the job and crush La Mera Mera? Or will Rosa rip through Mercedes to get at the AEW Women’s World Champion?
Mercedes is so ready, she doesn’t even get in the ring. She has her pipe, and waits on Rosa right at the ramp. Rosa comes out in a Kill Bill The Bride aka Beatrix Kiddo, and she’s bringing a chair!

Mercedes then whips Rosa, but Rosa reverses and Mercedes crashes through barriers! Rosa fires up, throws off the jacket, and kicks Mercedes around. The ref is taking liberties with the ring count as Rosa sits Mercedes down to stomp away! Rosa then brings Mercedes around and RAMS her into guard rail! Rosa climbs up the railing and fans get to be part of the action as she balances off them and CROSSBODIES Mercedes!

AEW returns to single picture as Mercedes FISHERMAN BUSTERS through the table! The table breaks just enough for the two to slide down to the floor!
Fans lose their minds, Rosa and Mercedes writhe in agony, but somehow they’re both okay to continue. Mercedes is up first and she gets her pipe back! Mercedes puts that in the ring, gets one of the chairs, and she SMACKS Rosa! And JAMS her! Mercedes throws the chair away, puts Rosa in the ring, and then clears some space. Mercedes hoists Rosa up top, throws hands, then climbs up after Rosa. Mercedes fireman’s carries but Rosa fights free and SUPER STEINERS Mercedes away! Rosa then gets the trash can, to CHUCK it at Mercedes! And then Rosa puts the can on Mercedes, to run and BASEMENT DROPKICK! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!
Mercedes saves herself but Rosa drags her to a drop zone. Rosa goes up, but Mercedes SMACKS her with the trash can lid! And again! Rosa wobbles, turns around up top, and Mercedes climbs up behind her. Mercedes CLUBS Rosa, then SPIDER GERMAN SUPLEXES! Mercedes gets back up the corner, aims and ELBOW DROPS! Cover, TWO!! Rosa survives and Mercedes can’t believe it! Mercedes hurries to create a chair pile at center, then she reels Rosa in. Rosa blocks the powerbomb, Mercedes CLUBS away on her, but Rosa still fights free! Rosa slips around, CRUCIFIX DRIVER!
But Rosa drags Mercedes back up, reels her back in, FIRE THUNDER DRIVER on the chairs!! Cover, Rosa wins!!
Winner: Thunder Rosa, by pinfall
There was no mercy in this dojo! Rosa wins, getting the better of Britt’s mercenary again, but Rosa still isn’t done? She drags Mercedes up, to show her respect?! Fans cheer that, and Mercedes seems rather surprised. But here comes Britt and her girls. They storm right to the ring but Rosa stands her ground. Britt asks Kove again, “Now what?” “Finish her.” Britt signals to Hayter and Rebel, and they BLINDSIDE Rosa! They stomp away, then Britt gets in, wielding the pipe! Rebel drags Rosa over, Hayter stomps her more, and Britt looks to Mercedes. Britt holds out the pipe, and Mercedes takes it.
Mercedes looms over Rosa, but then looks at Britt. The hesitation is too much, Hayter CLOBBERS Mercedes! Hayter mugs Mercedes, Britt punches away on Rosa! Britt holds up the belt, and says, “D M D.” Will The Doctor still be golden, no matter who she has to take out?
AEW hears from The House of Black.
Malakai Black says, “Wicked hands suffer the unholy fires. Because violence begets violence. That’s why when they put their hands on me, the snakes coil around their arms and daggers pierce their skin. And that’s how they brought forth a stray king. All by design, because violence craves their destruction. And when that fire of destruction extinguishes, there is nothing left but ash. And from ashes, new forms grow. But no violence can truly create without judgement.” As Malakai deals the tarot cards, Brody King asks who they are waiting for. “History.” A knock comes at the door, but who walks in? Perhaps we’ll see, as next week will be a rematch of the House of Black VS Death Triangle!
AEW hears from Jay White!
“Everybody is talking about Switchblade, Jay White. Without me beating Kenny Omega for the IWGP United States Championship, maybe Kenny would’ve stayed in NJPW. And if Kenny had stayed, there would be no AEW. So AEW, you’re welcome. I’m the leader of Bullet Club. I am the catalyst. I am the man that in two night’s time on Rampage against Trent, I’ll show all of AEW how to breathe with the Switchblade. Because it’s still my era.”
AEW TNT Championship: Sammy Guevara VS Darby Allin!
Two of the Four Pillars. Two great TNT Champions in their own right. But only the Spanish God is the UNDISPUTED TNT Champion after dethroning the American Nightmare. Will Sammy still be golden in Nashville? Or will the Relentless One be bringing those belts home with him?
The introductions are made, both TNT belts are raised, and we see who is the one man who gets to have them both!
The two stare down as the bell rings and the fans rally up. More fans chant for Darby but Sammy shrugs that off. Darby and Sammy slowly circle, Darby offers a handshake and Sammy takes it. Fans cheer the sportsmanship, and the two tie up. Sammy shoves Darby, eggs him on, they tie up again. They break again, circle, tie up again, and go around. They end up in a corner, go along ropes more, but the ref counts. Sammy lets off, but then Darby headlocks! Sammy powers up but Darby holds on tight. Darby gets the takeover, Sammy moves around to make it a cover, ONE. Darby holds on, Sammy fights up to his feet.
Sammy pries free and hammerlocks but Darby switches that onto Sammy. Sammy tries to switch it back but Darby spins through to keep the hammerlock. Darby then flying-mares, sweeps the legs, covers, ONE as Sammy goes Matrix! But Darby gets him for a quick crucifix takedown, TWO! Darby has the headlock back and fans cheer the technical exchange. Sammy powers up to power out, then hurdles and flips, but Darby SHOTGUN dropkicks first! Darby runs in at the corner, but Sammy blocks monkey flip to put Darby up top. Sammy joins Darby, Darby fights him off, so Sammy TIGER WALL KICKS!
Sammy goes up fast, brings Darby up, but Darby fights the clinch! Darby elbows Sammy back down, but Sammy fireman’s carries! GUTBUSTER DROP on the buckle! Darby tumbles to the floor and fans lose their minds! Sammy goes out, drags Darby up and puts him in. Sammy covers, TWO! Sammy drags Darby up, hangs him out to dry on the ropes, then CLUBS him. Sammy goes to the corner, goes right up top, and GUILLOTINE SWANTONS!! Darby tumbles back to the floor and fans are thunderous as AEW goes picture in picture!
Sammy and Darby are both down, that move taking a lot out of them both. Darby stirs but Sammy goes out to fetch him. Sammy CLUBS Darby then whips him hard into railing. Sammy gets Darby back in the ring, brings him up and through the corner, to stand on Darby! Darby is bent against the second rope crossbar, but Sammy lets off as the ref counts.

Darby drags Sammy into a Tree of Woe, to then BEND the bad leg way, way back! The ref counts, Darby lets off at 4, but Sammy’s still stuck in the Tree! Darby goes up and pulls the leg in a HANGING HALF CRAB! Sammy sits up to ROCK Darby with a headbutt! Sammy gets Darby up, SPANISH FLY!!
But Sammy’s leg keeps him from making the cover! Sammy writhes, fans lose their minds, and Sammy manages the cover, TWO!! Darby survives because of the damage to Sammy’s leg! Fans rally and duel between these two, but Sammy says he knows what to do. Sammy drags Darby up, turns him around, dragon sleeper! But Darby knees free and swings. Sammy dodges, springboards, but Darby catches the legs! Step through, FIGURE FOUR! Sammy’s not the only one who can reference the American Nightmare! Sammy endures, works to turn this, and does! But Darby turns it back over! Sammy endures again!
Sammy flips Darby off, cusses him out, and SLAPS Darby on the face! Darby SLAPS back, it’s a SLAP fight in the leg lock! They ROCK each other and the hold comes apart! Fans applaud that great exchange as both men go to opposite corners. Sammy runs in, Darby dodges and the knee hits buckles! Darby hops on, THROWBACK- NO!

But Darby just builds speed to DIVE!! Into a CUTTER?!?
Fans lose their minds as Sammy got that one outta nowhere! Fans are loving “A E DUB!” for this one as Sammy puts Darby back in. Sammy says he’s crazy, and fans hope these two “Fight Forever!” But it has to end somehow, and Sammy goes up top again. APRON SWANTON only gets apron!! Darby got outta the way and Sammy hit just the edge! His arm is twitching while he clutches his ribs! The ring count is climbing but Darby has to win this with pin or submission.

Matt Hardy hurries out to get his pound of flesh from Darby! Hardy rains down fists, but Sammy gets back in! Hardy bails out, but Andrade gets back in! TABLET SMACK! Sting runs Hardy off but Andrade snatches up the TNT Championship belts. Andrade wants to own them both, but Sting gets in, with his bat! Jose and Andrade hurry away with Hardy and the belts! Will the Andrade Hardy Family Office finally get some gold? Or will they have business to take care of with the Icon and the young pillars of AEW?
My Thoughts:
A great AEW that paved a lot of the road to Revolution. Punk opened with a great promo, and choosing Dog Collar match is pretty wild. MJF being speechless was a great touch, but I’d love if he was still just as speechless next week because of how brutal that match will be. Bryan VS Moriarty was an awesome match, certainly Moriarty’s best yet. Bryan of course wins, and I love that Moxley turns the tables on him. Bryan could choose to face Moxley, and if he wins he gets Moxley to join up, and I’m thinking that could be part of Revolution at this point. Keith Lee had a great promo, and he is clearly going to be treated/used right in AEW.
Wardlow had a great match with Caster, which was basically a handicap with The Acclaimed because Bowens was doing stuff and Spears didn’t do a thing until after Wardlow annihilated each of them. Just Wardlow and Keith Lee facing off in the Face of the Revolution ladder match is awesome, and then we’re going to add a bunch of other people to make it better. The House of Black has a very good vignette promo, and I love that there was a tease of a third member. Resist the temptation to go “Who’s the third man, brother?” if you can, but I am excited to see how this goes. One of the Varsity Blonds, perhaps?
Hangman and Cole had a great promo, lots of history yet to be visited, and what a great step towards the Elite civil war that’s brewing. Cole & reDRagon go after Hangman, Bucks apparently don’t care enough about Hangman to talk about him, but at least The Dark Order and Hangman are connected again. Cole VS Vance is going to probably be Vance’s best match but Cole is still going to win. The promo the Super KliqDragons had backstage was great stuff, especially Cole literally stuck in the middle, unsure who to walk away with. Jurassic Express & Christian have a good promo to set up the two different tag battle royals, and you can bet Bucks win one, reDRagon wins the other, Triple Threat where Jurassic Express can use Bucks and reDRagon against each other to retain.
We got a great match out of The Inner Circle, and how great for Eddie Kingston to show up. Santana & Ortiz get a big win, mostly cuz Jericho couldn’t ignore Kingston. Santana & Ortiz should definitely be in the tag team battle royals, maybe they disrupt the chances of Bucks and/or reDRagon winning, but maybe Jericho & Hager get in to ruin things for Santana & Ortiz. The Inner Circle has had a great run, this is definitely when they break up. Britt and group had a good promo, and what an interesting spot to plug the Cobra Kai series. No one swept the leg, so I’m disappointed. But Rosa VS Mercedes was awesome, and I did not see a Face turn for Mercedes through this.
Good promo from Jay White, he’ll have a great match with Trent on Rampage. And then, along with good promos from Darby and Sammy to hype up the main event, we got an AWESOME main event. And, after the news that Cody Rhodes is apparently gone from AEW, all the references to his moveset were genius. The match was bordering on PPV level, and then came the overbooking. But at the same time, of course Andrade screws over Darby. Andrade doesn’t like rejection, he wants to be the one to take the title, and I feel like instead of “If Darby loses, he works for Andrade,” we’re going to get a Face of the Revolution qualifier between them. That could go either way, but you can bet that’ll be overbooked as much as this match.
My Score: 8.9/10

Hangman Page speaks.
“I have worked so hard in my wrestling career to protect my family from the kind of prying eyes, the kind of intrusions that even a small amount of fame can bring. And in one night, all of that work was undone. And it nearly tore my family apart. And though it didn’t tear my family apart, it broke me. Because for the first time, I was ashamed! I was ashamed to come here every week, I was ashamed to stand in front of the world, and I was ashamed to look my wife and my son in the eyes after what I allowed to happen to them! And I knew after awhile, that I had to make a decision. I could either remain the husk of a man that I was…
“Or I could do something about it. So I found Swerve Strickland. And I made sure that he did not hold the AEW World Championship. And I severed the ties to the last hope that he had that he could build a family and a home like I had! And in September, I all but spilled his brains in front of the world. Christopher Daniels, I know, I understand what you are trying to say to me. And I humored you, maybe for too long, because of who you were. When I met you 14 years ago, I was just a kid, and you were the first wrestler I’d met that had ever done anything, who told me that I could, too.
“So I humored you for awhile. But I listened for too long. And last Saturday, you crossed a line when you laid hands on me. And for that, you will pay the price. Saturday on Collision in Cincinnati, Maximum Carnage, Christopher Daniels, I will see you… in a TEXAS DEATH MATCH. And I need you to understand this going into Cincinnati. I have decided who I will be. And I will wake up every morning and I will make that same decision over and over again, because I would rather injure and maim, I would rather tear every life on this Earth apart, than be the man that I was last year.
“CD, you have made your bed. And next Saturday, I lay you down in it… forever.” The Cowboy has called his shot, but will The Fallen Angel make sure to strike first?
PAC VS Komander w/ Alex Brahantes!
The Bastard is back in action, and he’s surprisingly alone right now. The Commander of the Skies wants his revenge on The Death Riders and they want revenge on him, how will walk away from this Collision?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Pac puts Komander on ropes, but the ref counts. Pac shifts to a cravat and snapmare, but Komander handsprings through!

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs speaks.
“Mox. Everything you want is right in front of you, dog. See, I’ve been listening since the beginning. Since all this Death Rider BS started, I’ve been listening. Everything you want is in front of you. You wanted people to stand up, you wanted AEW to be a place where people took initiative. Well guess what, Mox? I took initiative. I won the Casino Gauntlet. I beat seven other people, Mox. I stood up to you Wednesday on Dynamite, and what’d you do? You backed away. You cowered out, you tucked your tail between your legs. What type of leader, what type of world champion is that?
“This Wednesday night, Maximum Carnage, I know where we’re at. Cincinnati, Ohio, the birthplace of Jon Moxley. Well guess what, Mox? I’ve between shot, I’ve been stabbed, I’ve been homeless. Hell, there’ve been times when I was left for dead. But guess what, Mox? There’s nothing you can actually do to me. So this Wednesday, Cincinnati, Ohio, I’m gonna make you my b*tch.” The Powerhouse is ready, will the Book of Hobbs have its greatest chapter yet?

Christopher Daniels speaks.
“Hangman Page, what you don’t seem to understand is I was never approaching you as an AEW official. Even when I was still an EVP, I was trying to be a friend to you. I’ve known you for more than 15 years, and I saw you go through the worst year and a half of your life. I saw all of your friends desert you. I saw the fans turn their backs on you. And I wanted to be a friend to you. But every time I reached out, you responded with violence. And I don’t even care about getting punched, I’ve been knocked on my ass more than 1000 times in my life, Adam! But when we stood face to face, you called me an old man and asked me what I’ve done in professional wrestling?
“That hurt. Apparently, it’s time for a history lesson, Adam. I’ll tell you what I’ve done. I’ve won championships, I’ve main evented PPVs, I’ve wrestled all around the world. And if a professional wrestling company mattered in the last THIRTY-TWO YEARS, I wrestled there! I helped build two professional wrestling companies from the ground up. I was AEW before AEW was even real. So maybe 2024 wasn’t my best in-ring year of my career. But it’s 2025 now, and I’m not an EVP anymore. I’m just a man who’s sick and tired of being disrespected!
“Maximum Carnage Collision, Adam Page, you want Texas Death? I already shown I’m willing to shed MY blood, I’ll shed yours, as well. Maybe I’ll add beating your ass to my list of accomplishments.” The Fallen Angel is ready, will he make sure Texas Death is the end of #CowboyS*it?
Brody King w/ Julia Hart VS Trevor Blackwell!
The House of Black’s foundation has been questioned by Will Ospreay, but that is perhaps fair after Brody failed to meet him in the Continental Classic, along with failing to win in the Tokyo Dome. Can the House rebuild with what remains? Or is it time for the King of Death to sit on the throne?

Backstage interview with Brody King & Julia Hart.
Lexy Nair is with the House of Black and says we saw him end 2024 on a strong note with his great showing in the C2. He continued that momentum into 2025 in the Tokyo Dome, we heard everything good Ospreay had to say about Brody and Buddy, and Brody just got a big win. How is he feeling? Brody says right now, it is a confusing time for the House of Black. But then in steps Cope. Cope says they’ve been through a lot. But he hopes that at the end of all of it, Cope respects Brody, Julia, and Buddy. They have the world at their feet. Cope knows what Brody brings to the table, because he felt it. Cope wanted this to be a group.
But hey, time for Brody to take the reins and run things. Cope heads out, leaving Brody with a lot to think about. Will there be a new head of the house now?
AEW TNT Championship: Daniel Garcia VS Katsuyori Shibata!
Red Death has great respect for The Wrestler, has teamed up with him a few times, and had made the promise that once he took this title off Jack Perry, he and Shibata would battle for it.

My Thoughts:
A great Collision that did an excellent job of blending stories while telling those stories in the ring. Mariah VS Harley was great stuff, and Harley is getting to look stronger and stronger each week. While AEW has “a lot of belts,” or “too many belts” depending on your opinion, only two of those belts are women’s titles. Harley Cameron should be a contender for a Women’s International Championship, perhaps even crowning her at Grand Slam: Australia next month. But of course Mariah won, she needs to be strong going towards that same event, and the Women’s Casino Gauntlet will be great stuff to determine her next challenger.
Great TNT Championship match from Garcia VS Shibata to reach back and make good on that promo when Garcia won the title. The C2 is partly why they waited on this, but Garcia VS Shibata made for just the right thing to fill out this episode. Garcia of course retained, but it was a good move to have it be by jackknife bridge. Meanwhile, with Mark Briscoe & Private Party facing The Hurt Syndicate next week, we should definitely see things move towards Garcia & Private Party VS Hurt Syndicate, and then all those titles can be on the line. I can’t be sure how any of those matches go, but if it’s Lashley going for the TNT title, it’s very likely Lashley wins.
Brody King of course gets a squash match victory, but he was brought here mostly so Cope could talk with him in the same nature as Ospreay talking with Buddy Matthews. This is AEW telling us Malakai Black really IS leaving without saying it outright. If only TK had figured out he should book Buddy, Brody and Malakai for singles title stories like he has other factions. Basically, House of Black could’ve been doing what The Don Callis Family has been doing with Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher. In fact, The House could’ve been feuding with The Don Callis Family, too, with those singles titles being the goal.
Good cold open promos that weren’t redundant this time, and then we got a great match of Cope VS Bill. Cope cheating to win was a bit of a surprise, but I suppose Cope was sending a message to The Death Riders. Great brawl for Rated FTR with Learning Tree, and I like how they used to that to change things up for the main event just a touch. Pac VS Komander was great stuff, too, and I like The Outrunners going after the Death Riders to save Komander. Komander & Outrunners could make a great trio that takes Pac, Claudio & Yuta on for the trios titles, even if it’s a losing effort.
Hobbs had a very good promo, but it didn’t necessarily change anything from his post-match promo on Wednesday. Great main event for Dax VS Jericho, but of course Jericho cheated. I feel like the cheat spot they wanted messed up, though. Jericho shoves ref, Dax dives, but I feel like the belt should’ve been there for Dax to “land on.” That aside, things of course turn back into a brawl, and while Rated FTR and Outrunners were on the same side, it made some sense that Death Riders would beat up Learning Tree members because everyone is an enemy to The Death Riders. I figured Moxley would get the better of Cope, and then great save moment for Hobbs.
Hobbs looks unstoppable as he takes out the Heels and scares Moxley off, but then that signals the go-home math of Moxley winning at Maximum Carnage. News is going around that Darby Allin was written off the way he was so he could climb Mount Everest like he’s always wanted. We can only hope and pray Darby doesn’t get hurt or worse on that mountain so that he can come back closer to Revolution and go after Moxley again. Honestly, Christian Cage trying to cash in on Wednesday should be a thing, too. It can even be a way to protect Hobbs in the loss, and give us a roundabout reunion of Team Taz as Hobbs and Hook go after The Patriarchy.
My Score: 8.8/10

The fans fire up for that, and next week will be a massive rematch from the night Hobbs went out with injury. Will the Book of Hobbs finally have a chapter about the world title? Or will The Maniac refuse to lose in his hometown?
Jeff Jarrett returns to the ring.
Ian Riccaboni meets The Last Outlaw there to say that we were hoping for a more “storybook ending” in the Casino Gauntlet. Tennessee is a state the Jarrett Family helped put on the pro-wrestling map, so how is he feeling? The fans cheer Double J, and Jarrett says it is 2025, and the Last Outlaw just has to ask himself one question: “Do I still have what it takes to climb that mountain?” The fans sure feel so! But wait! MJF makes his way out here! The fans are a bit torn as Maxwell Jacob Friedman joins Jarrett and Ian in the ring, and MJF tells Ian, “You Bible thumping p*ick, get outta my ring.”
Ian exits, and MJF tells “Jeffrey” that they’ve yet to officially meet. “You are looking at the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time. My name is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, M J F.” And MJF wants Triple B back, but the title scene is just a lot of hard work. “Dictator Jon” has the belt, Hobbs is the #1 contender due to Jarrett’s failure, because he got beat up by Wheeler Yuta…? Wow. Then there’s Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, Hangman Page, a regular Dr. Seuss nightmare of names. But none of these men are worthy of holding the Triple B. But MJF can think of one man who just might be.
“A man who has beaten some of the biggest icons in the history of this sport. A man who has given his blood, sweat and tears to this game for 35+ years. A 12-time world champion, a two-time Hall of Famer, Tennessee’s own Double J, Jeff Jarrett!” Fans cheer the surprising amount of respect MJF is showing for Jarrett. MJF says, “Not that I knew any of that personally, I had to google all that because I’m not a dinosaur. But hey, kudos, because my dad told me he was a big fan of yours when he was a little kid, so good job.” MJF knows Jarrett wants to be world champion here, but based on what he said last week about this being his last wrestling contract… Clock’s ticking.
But MJF did some digging, and apparently Jarrett’s not been completely honest with the people. MJF imagines that is more out of sheer embarrassment. Because it turns out the contract Jarrett signed with AEW is only… for one more year. Oh, was MJF not supposed to say that? And the reason that is embarrassing is because that is not what Jarrett wanted. He doesn’t wanna retire yet. He had to sign that contract, because that is all pro-wrestling thinks Jarrett has left to give. The fans boo but MJF says hey, no, guys, he’s just telling the truth. He’s a facts man. He’s not here to piss off Double J. He’s here to help!
Because as MJF sees it, Jarrett only has one year to prove that he’s still got it. The fans chant, “You Still Got It!” MJF says one year to make sure Jarrett can listen to those chants for years to come! To prove himself! To make it back to the top of the mountain. MJF says he can help Jarrett become champion of the world one more time. He can. Because without MJF’s help, Jarrett probably can’t even win another match. MJF laughs, but he says hey, hey, all he is asking is one tiny little favor. When MJF helps Jarrett procure the Triple B, then MJF is first in line for the next shot. Okay, Tennessee, MJF knows you ain’t bright, but he’s still talking!
The fans boo but MJF Fargo Struts his way back to Jarrett. MJF asks J E Double F, J A Double R E Double T~… Wanna make a deal with lil’ ol’ MJF? The fans boo, don’t make a deal with the AEW Devil! MJF says shut up, who even asked them?! Jarrett takes the mic, and he tells Max, MJF was AEW World Champion. And just like MJF said, MJF was the longest-reigning champion in this company’s history, and that is impressive. But MJF’s still too damn young to understand that you learn more from your failures than you do your successes. Just because MJF was on top before doesn’t mean he’ll get there again
In fact, does MJF know what kids like him around here? “One hit wonders.” The fans echo that, and Jarrett tells Max, Jarrett knows the road he has to go down. He’s been at the bottom, and is comfortable there. This business, and this life, has put him there many times. But Jarrett knows that all gives him the opportunity to crawl, to scratch, to fight his way back to the top of the mountain. Max, you know it and Jarrett knows it. MJF could’ve entered tonight’s Casino Gauntlet, but what does he choose? To come out here later, to scheme and connive. That is what MJF does. Jarrett has been on top 12 times, and is looking for number 13 in 2025.
And like that old expression goes, “What a difference a year can make.” Jarrett sure as hell will make the most of 2025. So it comes down to this: Jarrett doesn’t need MJF! And as far as what MJF’s trying to sell him, Jarrett ain’t buying, “You entitled p*ick!” The fans fire up as Double J turns down MJF, but will the Wolf of Wrestling make him regret it?
Adam Copeland is here!
Clarksville fires up for the Rated R Superstar, and “Cope” makes his way to the ring. Cope gets the mic to call out Jon Moxley! “You and your Death Riders, right? While I was gone, you took out Bryan Danielson, possibly for good. As we just saw (on a replay), you threw Darby Allin down a flight of stairs, we haven’t seen him since. But man, the sin you can’t repent in my world is you tried to go after FTR. Now, I don’t know if you know this, but we’re very close friends, so massive mistake.” The fans applaud that. Cope continues by saying Moxley has named guys like Hangman, Jay White, Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin “don’t have what it takes to endure the grind.”
The fans boo and Cope says yeah, he also disagrees with Mox. But Cope wants them to know that no one, and he means no one, has fought through what COPE has fought through, just to be standing here in this ring! The fans cheer that! Cope says he will DIE on that hill, because he is a different animal entirely! “You’re looking at a man who broke his neck in a match with Eddie Guerrero!” You wanna know what Cope did? HE GOT UP! He wrestled another 20 minutes, and he WON that match! The fans cheer that, too! Cope says you are looking at a man who fought Malakai Black in a barbed wire steel cage match, broke his leg, and what’d he do?
HE GOT UP! Cope wrestled another 10 minutes, and he WON that match! So please, Moxley, as much as we know you’re one of the toughest bastards to ever step in this ring, please “enlighten” Cope what Moxley can do to him that hasn’t been done before?! But wait, here come the Death Riders! Jon Moxley himself makes his way out from the back, leading Yuta and Claudio. Cope is wary, because where could Marina and Pac be? The Maniac, the Swiss Cyborg and The Decoder seem to be the only ones making their way out here, but wait! FTR attacks them in the crowd! The fans fire up as Cash & Dax take care of Claudio & Yuta!
Cope storms out of the ring and goes after Moxley! He SMACKS Mox off the steel steps, then puts him in the ring! But Moxley stomps away on Cope now! Trash goes flying in the crowd, Cash sends Yuta into barriers! Moxley knees low, runs, but Cope BOOTS him down! The fans fire up for Cope and FTR keeps the Death Riders at bay! But now Marina Shafir is here! She slides the briefcase to Moxley while she goes after Cope, but Cope grabs her by the hair! But despite his rage, Cope has morals, so he lets her go. But PAC ATTACKS! The fans boo as The Bastard gets Cope down! Claudio & Yuta send FTR into barriers!
Moxley is back up, Pac sits Cope up for him, and Moxley clamps on the BULLY CHOKE! Cope is turning red already! The fans boo but The Death Riders all surround Cope as he fades out! FTR keep fighting but Claudio keeps them out of the ring. Marina gives Moxley a plastic bag!! But wait! Hobbs makes his way back out here! Hobbs may not be a friend of Cope’s but he wants to get at Moxley early! The straps come down as Hobbs storms up, and The Death Riders retreat! Not even all five of them want to mess with Hobbs! Will Powerhouse Hobbs be unstoppable at Maximum Carnage?
Mariah May speaks.
“The first-ever Women’s Casino Gauntlet for my AEW Women’s World Championship. Ladies, let’s make history… by dancing for me like the marionettes you are before I cut your strings and burn you alive.” But then Harley Cameron shouts, “YES! EXCELLENT!” Harley, c’mon, they’re rolling. Harley rolls in on her swivel chair and says, “I KNOW~!” She was just so moved! And while Mariah has so much on her plate, but why not give the people an “appetizer?” This Saturday Night Collision- Mariah stops Harley there and says she is NOT getting a world title shot. Harley says that’s fine, non-title, Mariah, Harley, and #HotGirlGraps!
Harley says c’mon, they’re both attractive. Sometimes. Mariah says that’s actually not a bad idea. Hot Girl Graps. And then Mariah will rip Harley’s head off. Oh, yes, then she will… Harley trails off and Mariah asks her what was that. Harley says Mariah will feel the… Just say it. FEEL THE WRATH!! Harley rolls away, Mariah composes herself, but will Mariah feel the wrath of Harley Cameron? Or will Harley understand why Mariah is the Woman From Hell?
Women’s Casino Gauntlet #1 Spot Triple Threat: Kris Statlander VS Willow Nightingale VS Toni Storm!
Speaking of the first-ever Women’s Casino Gauntlet, the title shot being saved for Grand Slam: Australia, three great former champions are stepping up for that number one spot! The #BornAgainKristen and Babe with the Power being former TBS Champions, is it time for them to move up to the world title scene? Or will the “rookie” Rockstar show us that 2025 is #ToniTime?
The bell rings and Toni offers handshakes. Kris and Willow accept, and then Toni sends Willow into Kris! Toni waistlocks Willow but Kris returns, Willow gets away and Kris CLOBBERS Toni! Willow rolls Kris, TWO as Toni rolls Willow! TWO as Kris rolls Toni! TWO, Kris comes back but Toni puts her in a corner. Willow CLOBBERS Toni! Willow runs up on Kris but Kris dodges. Kris whips, Willow cartwheels and ENZIGIRIS! Kris tumbles out, Willow whips Toni, but Toni cartwheels over! Willow CLOBBERS Toni, and she gives those rocker fingers back. Things speed up, Toni drops but Willow stops the hip toss!
Willow scoops, Toni slips free, and Toni waistlocks. Willow elbows free, runs, but Toni follows, only for Willow to SPINEBUSTER! The fans fire up but Kris is back to sweep the legs! Willow avoids the senton to ghost pin, TWO! Kris has a cover, TWO! Both women stand, and Willow scoops! Kris slips free to scoop, but Willow slips free. Willow headlocks< Kris powers up and out, but Willow runs her over! Toni is back but Willow TOSSES her back out! Kris runs up to headlock Willow, but Willow powers up and out. Kris runs Willow over, Toni comes back, but Kris TOSSES her! Willow wrenches and clamps onto an arm!
Kris wrenches back, but Willow wrenches Kris. The fans rally for Toni while she watches. Toni climbs, Kris and Willow go back and forth with the wrenches, but then Toni DOUBLE CROSSBODIES! The fans fire up and Toni rocks out! Toni whips Kris to ropes, but Kris reverses. Toni sunset flips, but Kris stays up! Willow has Toni’s legs to CATAPULT Toni into Kris’s galaxy! The fans cheer as Willow takes a bow, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Willow brings Toni into a chinlock and she squeezes tight. Toni endures, fights up, and snapmares free! Willow tumbles out but Kris kicks Toni! Kris snapmares Toni into another chinlock, but Toni still endures. Toni fights up, snapmares free, but Willow is back to snapmare Toni again! Willow has the chinlock on Toni, but Kris puts the chinlock on Willow! Toni endures, fights up, and she DOUBLE JAWBREAKERS free! Toni snapmares Willow, then snapmares Kris! Willow is up so Toni snapmares again! Kris is up so Toni snampares again! Snapmare for Willow! Snapmare for Kris! It’s Snapmare City!
The fans fire up, and Toni follows Kris outside. Snapmare to the floor! Willow is up, Toni gives her a snapmare to the floor! Toni keeps going with snapmare after snapmare, and then she gets them both! DOUBLE SNAPMARE! Toni is all fired up with Clarksville, and then she puts Willow in the ring. Toni storms up on Willow, stomps her, then she stomps Kris as she enters the ring. Toni CHOPS Kris to a corner, but Kris CHOPS back! Willow CHOPS Toni! Kris ROCKS Toni! Willow CHOPS Toni! Toni CHOPS Willow, Kris CHOPS Toni, Toni CHPOS Kris! The CHOPS are passed around while Dynamite returns to single picture.
The fans fire up as the CHOPS keep going, then Toni gives Willow and Kris a meeting of the minds! Toni goes up a corner, leaps, DOUBLE- NO, Willow & Kris catch her for a DOUBLE FALL AWAY SLAM! The fans fire up as the former friends now stand tall. Kris says Willow can have a free shot, but then Toni shoves Kris into Willow! Toni then fires forearms on Kris, but Kris fires back! The fans rally and Toni gets the edge. Toni swings, Kris dodges, but then Toni ducks Kris’s haymaker and it ROCKS Willow! Toni ROCKS Kris, then dodges Willow to HEADBUTT!

Kris fires up, the fans are fired up with her, and she runs in, but Willow POUNCES! PERIOD! The fans fire up as Willow fireman’s carries Toni, but Toni fights free! Willow blocks the whip, but Toni kicks her! Toni whips successfully, but Willow reverses, so Toni HIP ATTACKS Kris! Willow SPLASHES Toni! Toni sits down with Kris, Willow CANNONBALLS! Willow hauls Toni up to fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!!

Kris Electric Chair Lifts Toni, but Toni slips out to GERMAN SUPLEX! Willow BOOTS Toni! Kris DISCUS LARIATS Willow! Toni swings on Kris, but Kris gets around to go to the corner.

Willow suplexes, Toni cradle counters! Kris breaks it!
Willow kicks Kris, gut wrenches, but Kris switches! Willow switches, repeat! They go around and around, Kris TOSSE Willow, then she scoops Toni! STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER!! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall (earns the Number One Spot in the Women’s Casino Gauntlet)
Kris pins the THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion, and now she will lead off in next week’s historic Women’s Casino Gauntlet! But will Kris prove she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest? Or will another woman earn that golden ticket to Grand Slam: Australia?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
AEW is in Athens, Georgia when The Rated R Superstar takes on Big Bill 1v1, and the same for Dax Harwood with Chris Jericho! #RatedFTR already won in the Six Man Tag, will they tear down The Learning Tree one Branch at a time?
Backstage interview with Toni Storm.
AEW returns and Renee is with Toni, and says that was an unfortunate loss out there, and many were surprised she didn’t win. Toni is not surprised, though. She gave it her best, but clearly she’s “just not ready.” But it was an honor to be out there with those two, Kris really deserves this. The Casino Gauntlet is going to be amazing, but Toni just doesn’t feel ready for the big time. She’ll keep working hard, but it seems it can’t be #ToniTime all the time. Toni apologizes then heads out. Will the “new kid” find a way to regain some confidence in herself?
And now…
With the same theme he used for his epic return to NJPW on Sunday, The Best Bout Machine emerges from the shadows and into the spotlight! Clarksville is all fired up for Omega rising like a phoenix! Omega goes to the ring, grabs a mic, and the fans cheer “KENNY! KENNY!” “Welcome Back! Welcome Back!” Omega takes a moment to soak it all in, then says, “This isn’t making it any more easy, guys. But thank you. It was a little over a year ago I checked myself into a hospital, and I was given the bad news. I had something called diverticulitis.” The fans boo diverticulitis, and Omega nods.
Omega explains that diverticulitis took two feet of his intestines from him, and says that if he hadn’t checked himself in when he did, the doctor let him know that Kenny would’ve died. So for the past year, it has been a roller coaster ride. The fans cheer Omega on, and chant, “Never Give Up!” Omega says upon a successful surgery, he had two questions. One: How long was recovery going to be? Two: When could Omega get back in the ring? The fans cheer that! Omega’s doctor told him that Omega would be lucky to return to a normal way of life, let alone to the ring, let alone to the Kenny Omega he used to be.
Omega says being a pro-wrestler and doing what pro-wrestlers do, he of course pushed through, maybe pushed a little too hard. He ended up being in the hospital four more times, four weeks at a time, and he had to really ask himself: Is this really worth it? Can he even do it? The fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” Omega says he can’t lie, there was a moment when he felt like giving up was the safest option. The fans boo that idea, but Omega says once he considered that option, he realized… “What purpose do I even have? What purpose do I even have on this planet if I don’t have you people with me?”
The fans cheer again, and Omega says he tested his theory. He found his purpose in Tokyo, just like he found it here tonight! And that is, if he’s not in the ring in front of the people, giving them everything he has every single week he has, then he’s not living! If he’s not showing the world that Kenny Omega CAN be the best, CAN be the Wrestling God, then he is NOT living! So even though he can’t be the same Omega, even though he can’t do the things he used to, this NEW Omega, the one that isn’t concerned about money, isn’t concerned about power, isn’t concerned about revenge, THIS Kenny Omega can still prove-
Wait, is that Don Callis? Guess he’s also back from Japan… The fans boo as Callis goes to the ring, mic in hand, but Omega is wary of the Don Callis Family ambushing him. Callis says, “Well look who’s back from the dead!” Callis barely finishes that sentence before Omega rushes him at the ramp! Omega fires hands on Callis, and NOW the Family rushes out! Brian Cage & Lance Archer mug Omega, twist his legs, and then send him into railing! Cage then puts Omega back in the ring, and both Murder Machines get in, only for Omega to fire hands in return! The fans fire up but this is still 2v1! And then 3v1 as Kyle Fletcher joins in!
The fans boo but Kyle DECKS Omega! The Callis Family drags Omega up again, and then Cage throws a BODY SHOT!! Omega crumples to the mat, and Cage hauls Omega up! Cage reels Omega in, but WILL OSPREAY hurries out here! And he has a chair! Ospreay JAMS Archer, SMACKS him down, then slides into the ring! Kyle & Cage go running! The fans fire up as the Aerial Assassin saves The Cleaner, but wait! He takes aim! Omega sees Ospreay first, and Ospreay drops the chair. The fans lose their minds as after fighting tooth ‘n’ nail over a year ago, these two are oddly on the same side: against Don Callis!
As such, Ospreay and Omega nod, and they stand down. Will Omega and Ospreay put their differences aside long enough to tear down The Don Callis Family? But BREAKING NEWS for Maximum Carnage: Omega will face Brian Cage 1v1 for his first match back in AEW! Will the 2025 version of Kenny Omega still be better than the rest?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite here as one part go-home to Maximum Carnage, one part turning-the-corner from the New Year stuff, including WrestleDynasty. Ospreay VS Buddy was awesome as an opener, and partly just an excuse to keep Ospreay out of the third Men’s Casino Gauntlet since he’s undefeated in those. At the same time, it is an interesting move that he’d try and get Buddy to think about what Buddy can do on his own. And given the constant “Is he gone or isn’t he?” nature of the Malakai Black speculation, it feels like another badly done work-shoot from AEW all because Tony Khan can’t figure out that, uh, duh, he could just book the House for various singles titles.
It was even pointed out by AEW themselves that Buddy Matthews won that Fatal 4 Way at Full Gear in November, did diddly squat all December because he wasn’t in the Continental Classic, and now he’s back. I said it when the C2 field was announced and I’ll say it here: Why wasn’t Buddy in the tournament? As for the present, the House of Black doesn’t even need to break up, they just need to be booked for singles titles. Buddy could challenge Okada for the Continental Championship, or he could challenge Takeshita for the International Championship, and even if he doesn’t win, he’ll give those guys one hell of a match, and we all want to see it.
I don’t include the TNT Championship in that right now because clearly there is more building between Hurt Syndicate and the various other champions. Great promo from Syndicate and Private Party for them to set up a possible tag title scenario. Private Party’s friendship with Garcia should also inspire Hurt Syndicate actually recruiting another wrestler to give us a Six Man Tag, then we split off into the various title matches. I’ll only lightly touch on TK fumbling that recruitment story where MVP handed out the cards to only a few people, yet decided none of them were good enough to join up because TK ended up having other story ideas first.
Very good promo from Mariah May and Harley Cameron to set up their non-title match, which should really just be advertised as Title Eliminator since duh, if Harley were to miraculously beat Mariah, she’d basically be in line for a title match. But at the same time, we know Mariah is winning so why try and kayfabe Harley’s hopes? Plus, we finally get a Women’s Casino Gauntlet and the winner of that goes to Grand Slam: Australia with Mariah. Awesome Triple Threat as the main event match, and a great choice for Toni to not win. Kris will make a great leadoff wrestler like Jay White was in the Men’s Casino Gauntlet. Toni’s promo after was really good, too, maybe she’s taking the long route back to the title, perhaps being the challenger for Revolution.
And speaking of the Men’s Casino Gauntlet, it was great for White to lead, but I figured he wasn’t winning. Ricochet with the swerve entrance was hilarious. And very clever idea for Yuta to get in this match, perhaps teasing a Finger Poke of Doom type scenario. I’m surprised he went after Jarrett that hard so as to take him completely out of the running. Why not do that to White to paint White as the biggest threat to Moxley while also hyping up a 1v1 match between them? Hobbs winning is great, this is essentially a rematch from their IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match, and a good way to make it up to Hobbs for him getting hurt back then. However, there’s a very good chance The Death Riders work to screw Hobbs over so Moxley wins in his hometown.
MJF and Jarrett have a great promo to follow that up, and now we have our countdown for Jarrett. Jarrett VS MJF is obviously what’s happening next, that’ll be great stuff, and it can be used to help either guy get to the title. Omega had a great segment to close, great promo and then great brawl with the Callis Family. A little surprising that’s the feud we’re going with for Omega, but it does make sense when Callis is just that much of a scumbag. Omega and Ospreay being unlikely allies is good stuff, Omega VS Cage next week will be great, and I’m sure this will be a pretty good story going to Grand Slam: Australia and even to Revolution.
My Score: 9/10
