Jon Moxley VS Wheeler Yuta w/ Orange Cassidy & Danhausen!
The Maniac is here in Chicago to open this wild night of Dynamite! It may be snowing outside but it is red hot already, will Moxley use that to keep his own hot streak going? Or will the Decoder have him figured out?
The bell rings and Yuta rushes in, but Mox dodges the dropkick. Yuta dodges the lariat and the two stand off. Fans rally, the two circle and tie up. Moxley wrenches, hammerlocks, headlocks, but Yuta powers out. Moxley runs Yuta over, and Moxley stares at Danhausen. Danhausen shrugs and Moxley circles with Yuta. Moxley gets an arm, wrenches to an elbow breaker, then wrenches to a wristlock. Yuta rolls, handsprings and arm-drags, then eggs Moxley on!

Yuta CHOPS, Moxley CHOPS back!
Yuta CHOPS again, so Moxley CHOPS him out of the ring! Moxley paces, Yuta drags himself back in, and Moxley is right on him. Moxley reels Yuta in, PILEDRIVER! Cover, TWO! Moxley gets the leg, STF! Yuta endures, reaches outs, but Moxley pulls him back. Moxley gets the arms for a straitjacket modification, but Yuta gets his legs free to get the ropebreak!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall
Yuta brought the fight to Moxley but Moxley still comes out on top! Undefeated in his return, still unhinged in his mindset, but Bryan Danielson appears again! The American Dragon stares Moxley down but also smiles. Bryan has a mic, and he says, “Do you guys wanna see us fight?” “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan says that for a long time, he wanted to see him and Moxley fight, too. Moxley was different, so Bryan wanted to see what he had. But since Moxley returned, this is a new Jon Moxley! Give it up for Moxley, everybody! Fans do cheer, and Bryan continues. “Deep inside of me, there’s always been a part of me that’s wanted to test you.”
Bryan was watching Moxley as AEW World Champion. And it doesn’t matter what anyone says, Moxley was the BEST AEW World Champion. And if Moxley had some support, Bryan thinks Moxley would still be world champion. That’s when Bryan realized that Moxley and Bryan shouldn’t be fighting against each other. They should be fighting together! Fans really like the sound of that! Bryan says everyone here loves AEW, obviously. But there is no reason why “some millennial cowboy” should be the world champion.
“There is NO reason why somebody dressed as a dinosaur should be an AEW World Tag Team Champion. There is NO reason why somebody who’s main contribution to society is creating a ‘vlog’ should be the TNT Champion.” Bryan says that he and Mox together could run AEW. Whatever they wanted! If Mox wanted to be world champion, he could be that with Bryan. They could be AEW World Tag Team Champions together! If they wanted to take some of those young guys, like Wheeler Yuta, who is coming out here with jokes like Cassidy & Danhausen, could be under their wing. Someone like Daniel Garcia! Then THEY could mentor him!
They could take someone like Lee Moriarty away from Matt Sydal & Dante Martin with their “high-flying bull crap,” and train the future of pro-wrestling, together. Bryan says even if fans don’t like Bryan, they like what he’s talking about. So Moxley, Bryan knows this is a lot right now, so he doesn’t have to answer right now. Just think about it. Think about the possibilities. Think about all the positive things they could do. Think about the greatness that they could create! And the legacy that Moxley could leave. Bryan offers a handshake, fans seem torn, but Moxley isn’t sure. Bryan knows this is a lot of pressure, so just think about it.
Bryan drops the mic, leaves the ring, and Moxley looks at the camera as if to say, “Is he serious?” If Bryan is serious, could he and Moxley become more than just a two man power trip, but a force of nature in AEW?
Brandi Rhodes is here!
Mrs. American Nightmare has the mic and says, “I just love every time I get to come back to this town. Everyone is so nice to me here in Cleveland- Or Chicago, whatever. It’s the same thing: snow, ice.” But then Dan Lambert interrupts, and fans are actually happy to see him. Lambert says “You’d think someone from a wrestling family would understand how bad it is for business when you start believing your own bullsh*t.” They may have given the Rhodes a reality show, but Brandi needs a reality check. So he’ll give it a shot!
Lambert gets in the ring to say Brandi can pretend that Cody earned a spot here, and pretend that Chief Brand Officer is a real title and not just something to stroke that massive ego. Brandi can even pretend her “Brandi from Da Block” accent when she gets all mad isn’t as fake as those bulldogs poppin’ outta her T-shirt right now. But she can’t pretend that she’s not getting booed out of the ring, even though she’s standing next to a “rich, angry, conservative, sexist, AEW hating old man” like him! He almost feels like a decent human standing next to her.
Brandi isn’t sure what Ethan’s laughing at. Everyone knows the only reason AEW got him was to get to Josh Alexander. But Dan, let’s keep this between him and her. What’s his beef with her? They should get to know each other. She looked into him, and after the last time he ran her down, he is doing good! Five-time Gym of the Year! Most champions on the team in history! He’s doing great. Fans stay “STFU!” and the Men of the Year encourage them. Brandi asks if they’re done. But things are going good, but not great for Lambert. Fans keep it up and she says she’ll just keeping going because she can do anything, just like she can in this company.
Brandi says Lambert that it is a little telling that his best fighter got knocked out by Jake Paul, and Amanda Nunez. Oh, too soon? That one must hurt. But her point is, Lambert should spend less time in AEW and more time with American Top Tits- Er, Team! Same thing, right? “Wow. All that charm and a quick wit as well. Cody’s a lucky man. But that begs the question: Don’t you think it’s time that your whole family goes Heel?” The only Face turn anyone will believe is from Brandi’s old job, where she was always turned face down. Brandi and Lambert talk trash off mic and then she SLAPS him!
Lambert says he had a feeling she’d be in a fighting mood tonight. And he’s not the only one who has slapping the sh*t outta her on his bucket list. But he has a few things to do here first, before going down in a “glorious fireball of cancel culture.” So he has a better idea. Here comes PAIGE VANZANT! She gets in the ring, Brandi rushes her but is RAMMED to the corner! The AEW Women’s Division rushes to stop this, but fans want to “Let Them Fight!” Brandi and Paige egg each other on, but American Top Team falls back for now. Will Mrs. American Nightmare make Paige regret signing up with Lambert?
Matt Hardy speaks.
“Private Party. I was very disappointed in your performance last Friday.” Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen failed to bring the AEW World Tag Team Championships home to the Andrade Hardy Family Office! But Sammy Guevara, Hardy knows you’re offering an open challenge for Rampage. Hardy wants that title! But in steps Andrade and he shakes Hardy’s hand. Andrade knows Private Party lost, and Hardy says he is furious. It was embarrassing! So this week, for the TNT Championship, it’ll be Isiah Kassidy taking on Sammy Guevara! Marq says he could beat Sammy! But he got beat, so Kassidy will redeem them!
Andrade says he doesn’t want any mistakes. Kassidy says he can take that title, then take Sammy’s girl! Fist bump from Jose. But Hardy asks Andrade about Darby Allin. Why isn’t he with them already? Andrade says Sting handles the business. Maybe he needs more money for the deal. Mas dinero. Money talks. Yes, it does. Andrade leaves, but will Sting and Darby show him it’s not always about the money? As for Hardy, he grabs Kassidy by the head and tells him, “Rampage! Do not fail me, Isiah! This is your chance to be a star! Bring home the TNT title to the AHFO!” Kassidy says he’s got this, but will the Spanish God still be golden?
The House of Black VS PAC & Penta El Zero M w/ Alex Abrahantes!
The Windy City just got much colder as Malakai Black & Brody King make their way out. Will Death Triangle #FadeToBlack? Or will the Bastard’s return signal the beginning of the end for the Kings of the Black Throne?

Adam Cole speaks.
“Brandon, turn the damn camera on. I am still undefeated in singles competition here in AEW. And my record, it reflects that. Because I swear to God, if I have to hear one more damn time that Orange Cassidy beat me, I will slap you in the mouth.” Cassidy didn’t beat Cole, that was a fluke! The record reflects that. Well, it was unsanctioned and therefore off the record… But Cole says that even with his undefeated streak, he still doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Cole is one of the best damn pro-wrestlers on the planet, and has been for years! Everyone will see a new side to Cole, an Adam Cole that takes what he wants.
So in two nights, Cole goes to Rampage and he will fight Evil Uno. After he hurts and beats Uno, the entire world will know exactly what Cole wants. Cole leaves, will he use the Dark Order to send a message to a certain millennial cowboy?

AEW returns and Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
They’re in the great city of Chicago, but it’s time for some Cowboy You-Know-What! Schiavone introduces the AEW World Champion, Hangman Page! The pyro goes off for the top champ as he goes to the ring. Schiavone reminds us that next week, AEW Dynamite is in Atlantic City, and it will be a TEXAS DEATHMATCH for the AEW World Championship, Hangman Page VS Lance Archer! The Murderhawk Monster has certainly made himself known to Hangman, so what are Hangman’s thoughts on this match stipulation?
Hangman has the mic as fans chant “COWBOY SH*T!” and Hangman says he has been champion for 81 days! Yet he’s only gotten to defend it twice. Hangman says he started this year, pleading for challengers. Here he is, three weeks later, still waiting. Hangman has a five month old baby at home, throwing mashed peas all over the house, there’s a foot of snow outside and his flight back home has been cancelled. Yet, Archer wants the match next week to be a Texas Deathmatch. Hangman doesn’t really give a sh*t! He just needs SOMETHING, ANYTHING, and not next week! He wants it tonight, so if Archer is willing, he can get his sturdy ass out to the ring so Chicago can see a fight!
Dan Lambert returns and says he is surprised Hangman showed up here and didn’t just stay in Cleveland. This is the home of the Chicago Blackhawks, and Lambert figured a “soft ass cowboy” like Hangman would feel more comfortable back in a city like Cleveland, a place that cancelled their Indians. Hangman says he’s gonna shut Lambert up right here. Hangman doesn’t care about what Lambert was gonna say backstage- Jake the Snake Roberts tells the “little boy” to shut it. People are saying Hangman is acting different, looking over his shoulder. Is he having bad dreams? Maybe a nightmare, if you will?
Jake says he smells something. Is Hangman sweating? That must be fear! Archer then barges his way out and says he’ll shut Hangman up, “Let’s do this!” Archer storms to the ring but Hangman DIVES out onto him! The brawl is on at the ramp, Archer knees Hangman! Archer rushes Hangman but Hangman dodges Archer to send Archer into steel steps! But then Lambert SMACKS Hangman with a chair! Hangman doesn’t budge, and Lambert freaks out! Hangman puts Lambert in the ring, but Archer SMACKS Hangman! Hangman falls down, Archer sets up the steps, and he drags Hangman over. CHOKE SLAM onto the steps!!
Archer pushes Hangman off the steps, Jake the Snake knows that’s not enough for him. Archer gets Hangman up, inverted crucifix, BLACKOUT BOMB through the timekeeper’s table!! Lambert counts like it’s the match, and he reaches ten! Archer says next Wednesday, everything changes! The Murderhawk Monster will be the NEW AEW World Champion, and he doesn’t give a damn about what anyone thinks or wants! Will the Texas Deathmatch be the death of Hangman’s reign?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“Santana and Ortiz. What you did last week by blatantly not tagging me in in our match versus 2point0 and Daniel Garcia was disrespectful to me, it was embarrassing to me, and it was unacceptable. And for what? Why? Because Eddie Kingston? Because you started in the business together? We started AEW together! What, does Eddie Kingston have some kinda hold over you? Some kinda influence? Nobody has more influence in this company than Chris Jericho! When it comes to AEW, I am more an influencer than Kylie Jenner is on Instagram!” Jericho just wants to hear why they did what they did.
So Jericho is asking- No, DEMANDING a full Inner Circle team meeting next week on Dynamite! And they all better show up, especially Santana & Ortiz. Attendance is mandatory! But will Le Champion being so tyrannical only bring about the end of the Inner Circle?
CM Punk VS MJF!
The pawns of The Pinnacle have been cleared out of the way, and now the Salt of the Earth has no choice but to face the Best in the World! Will Maxwell Jacob Friedman find a way to survive CM Punk in Chicago? Or will having homefield advantage guarantee Punk a victory?
AEW returns and CM Punk makes his entrance. MJF taunts Punk but Punk just flips him off! MJF wants after Punk but the ref keeps him back. Punk and MJF stare down from across the ring, the bell sounds, and fans are all fired up for this one. MJF snarls, but then he backs off as soon as Punk storms over. The ref keeps Punk back, MJF gets a cheap shot! MJF CLUBS Punk, stomps him, but Punk turns it around to CHOP, forearm and CHOP again! Punk fires off haymaker after haymaker, then he climbs up to rain down rights! But MJF slips away and wags his finger. So Punk kicks him low, then KICKS him to ropes!
MJF uses ropes as a defense but Punk jukes the ref to DECK MJF! MJF teeter-totters in the ropes, Punk DECKS him again! And repeat! And repeat!

Fans fire up as Punk CHOPS MJF against the railing, and then stalks him to the corner. MJF throat chops back, then hops over the railing! MJF wants to run away but Punk chases after him! They go up the stairs, Punk runs MJF down and CLUBS him on the back!
Punk gets a drink from a fan to SMASH it on MJF’s head! He’s straightedge, after all. Punk stomps away on MJF, then he gives MJF an atomic drop onto railing! Punk ROCKS MJF with a right, and MJF tumbles into the seats! The ref is skipping the count in order to get these guys to ringside, so Punk headlocks and punches MJF all the way down the stairs and back to ringside. Punk double guns and Chicago fires up. The ref insists this get back in the ring so Punk drags MJF up and back in. Punk takes his time getting in, and he asks if the fans want some more. Fans do want more, and Punk stands MJF up to scoop and SLAM!
MJF writhes, Punk drags him up by his ear as fans chant, “One More Time!” Another scoop SLAM! Punk keeps on MJF’s ear, drags him back up and scoops again, for another SLAM! Fans still want “One More Time!” so Punk stands MJF up to scoop and SLAM again. Punk struts about, lounges on the top rope, and fans are loving it! Punk then hops up to the top rope, takes aim and- MJF rolls away. Punk hops down, runs corner to corner, but MJF dodges and Punk POSTS himself! The ref goes out to check on Punk as he clutches his arm. Punk says he’s okay to continue but MJF goes out after him.
MJF puts the arm on the timekeeper’s table, stands on it, and then drops a knee! Punk clutches the bad arm but MJF puts him in the ring as AEW goes picture in picture.
MJF drags Punk by his bad arm, makes lewd gestures with the arm, then BITES the finger! The ref reprimands, MJF lets off to taunt the fans, but Punk CHOPS and forearms back! Punk runs, but MJF clamps onto the bad arm for an ARMBAR DDT! Cover, TWO! MJF clamps onto the bad arm and hammerlocks it. MJF leans on the hold as he tells fans to shut up. Fans rally as Punk endures, and Punk fights up to throw back elbows. MJF ducks one to steal the Pepsi Twist! Cover, TWO! MJF mocks the straightedge X, then looms over Punk.

Replay shows another angle, and Wardlow managed to drop the diamond ring to MJF behind his back!! Is MJF the NEW Best in the World? Or does this only prove that MJF is nothing without his back-up?
My Thoughts:
What an awesome episode of AEW! I won’t go into detail but “card subject to change” happened here as THE Brian Kendrick had to be replaced in his match against Moxley. But at the same time, Moxley VS Yuta in a rematch from before was a great move. It was a great match, Moxley interacting with Cassidy and Danhausen was great stuff, but naturally Moxley still wins. Bryan Danielson appearing to offer him a team-up instead of a match was a really interesting move. I really would be intrigued to see Bryan and Mox as a Two Man Power Trip, but also as leaders of a faction of some great young talent like Garcia, Moriarty and a few other Elevation/Dark regulars.
I can’t believe we almost got Face Dan Lambert because of Brandi Rhodes just randomly being a Heel to the crowd. Lambert still goes for low hanging, sex joke fruit, but I do like that they’re setting up a female MMA VS Pro-Wrestler story. It probably won’t go all that well but at least they’re trying. And then Lambert is immediately Heel again as he continues to pal around with Archer and Jake the Snake. Archer brawling with Hangman and then destroying him was good stuff, and it definitely gives Hangman the go-home math advantage to next week’s Texas Deathmatch. Jake teasing some “if you will” Dusty Rhodes action makes me wonder if the stories will blend and we see Hangman interact with Cody at some point.
The Andrade Hardy Family Office has a good promo together, referencing the multiple stories they have going on, and it’s rather interesting Hardy puts Kassidy up against Sammy for the TNT Championship. I suppose Sammy is going to win since it’s Kassidy, but I was expecting either Hardy or Andrade to take that match instead. Maybe such match-ups happen for a bigger occasion, like Revolution in March. Also, I think AEW mis-advertised, their site said the FTW Championship was tonight but it’s instead for Rampage. But that does make Rampage bigger, with the FTW and TNT Championships both on the line.
Jericho wanting the Inner Circle to regroup is perhaps a sign they’re slowly going to break the group up. There’s a very good chance Santana & Ortiz argue with Jericho and Jake Hager takes Jericho’s side. Jericho & Hager VS Santana & Ortiz would make for a very good match that also helps get Proud ‘n’ Powerful going in the tag division. Gunn Club gets after Jungle Boy, Jurassic Express VS Gunn Club is of course coming. Adam Cole had a really good promo, and it’s very clear that him going after Evil Uno, we’re getting Super Kliq feuding with Dark Order and eventually Cole going for the world title.
The House of Black VS Death Triangle was a great tag match, but there’s another flaw of AEW’s to point out. Are they the House of Black, the Kings of the Black Throne or the Knights of the Black Throne? All three of those things were used in the entrance, the third one being in the lower third. They need to get that straightened out before Malakai & Brody go for the tag titles. Nyla VS Ruby was a great match that definitely built upon their TBS Championship Tournament match. Naturally, Nyla wins here, and I’m sure we’ll see a tiebreaker that will lead the winner to the TBS Championship, or even the AEW Women’s World Championship.
Then the main event was even more of an instant classic than I could’ve imagined. MJF cheats to get the false win, and it has been such a long time since any company has used a decision reversal. Things entered PPV level as they continued, and it was shocking to see MJF still find a way to win. Wardlow apparently isn’t pushed to the point of turning on MJF just yet, so they’re definitely saving that for when Wardlow wins the TNT Championship and refuses to give it to MJF. Wherever and whenever that moment happens, that crowd will explode seeing Wardlow clobber MJF. Wardlow could use that moment alone to become a top guy in AEW.
My Score: 9.1/10

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

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

Matt throat chops Bailey! Matt whips Knight, but Bailey gives him the boost for the CROSSBODY! Then they TOSS Matt out onto Nick! The fans fire up as Knight & Bailey say #2Fly!

Backstage interview with Toni Storm.
Renee is now with the Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion, as well as butler Luther, and notes that tonight, it is Kris Statlander VS Jamie Hayter in the Women’s Owen Hart Tournament Semifinals. Renee also notes that Toni has been watching everyone in this tournament very closely. Toni says, “And why shouldn’t I? These are the preeminent individuals in our entire industry. So ladies, good luck. Pound your flesh, rip your tits, but don’t you dare get any blood on my pearls. And remember: You are now watching your feature presentation.” Renee says speaking of feature presentations, this weekend in Hollywood, Toni will be on the red carpet for the TCM Film Festival.
Toni says yes, some new little science fiction film. Renee says it’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Toni says there’s not an empire big enough to strike her back. But remember, she is a lover and a fighter. She isn’t just going to spend this weekend cucking around with Ben Mankiewicz! She has an idea! Toni grabs her title and stands up on top of a chair. “Attention, slop tarts! This Saturday on Collision, I’m going to have a Championship Eliminator Performance! So if there’s any b*tch that has the itch-” Oh, Queen Aminata steps up immediately. She says she’s back, and you know she likes to fight. So, let’s do this.
Toni says, “No, no, darling. It’s… Let’s make cinema!” Toni has Luther carry her away, but will Playoff Palooza end up an underdog sports story?
The Hurt Syndicate is here!
New Orleans fires up and sings along, “We Hurt~ People!” as Montel Vontavious Porter, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin make their way to the ring. MVP holds up a fan’s sign that says, “WE HURT PEOPLE,” then he grabs a mic. “Attention, AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate. On behalf of the Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin, and the All Mighty, Bobby Lashley, we are the Hurt Syndicate, and we hurt people.” The fans cheer that! MVP says in fact, they’re so good at that, that every single tag team they’ve faced for these AEW World Tag Team Championships haven’t been back!
MVP says they’re all home healing up. Then the Gates of Agony stepped up, and they said they like to be hurt? That’s a silly thing to say to two of the most dangerous men on the planet! But they obliged, and they hurt those two. You will not be seeing The Gates of Agony in the near future. But perhaps you will see them eventually, because Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona are hungry young lions and they will return. Now is just not their time. This time right now, MVP will hand the mic over to Lashley, because he has a few things he’d like to say. The fans cheer that! MVP passes the mic to Lashley, but then an engine starts revving.
MVP sighs as we see a fancy sports car pull into the parking lot. And out steps none other than Maxwell Jacob Friedman. MJF tells a guy to keep it running for him, then nut taps him on the way out! MJF laughs at his own prank, and even says, “What a do*che.” MJF heads to gorilla, and that means he makes his entrance! Lashley smirks because of course MJF is making his way out here. MJF has a mic to say cut his music. The fans cheer MJF on, and MJF tells the Hurt Syndicate, “Gentlemen, I know… Hell, we all know you had a good time last week, okay? And if you guys wanna have a good time for the rest of your lives, all I need are three thumbs up. That’s it.”
MJF waits, and MVP says okay, let’s try this one more time. MVP says we know how he feels, he is still thumbs up. The fans cheer for “THREE THUMBS UP! THREE THUMBS UP!” Shelton is no longer intimidated by Lashley, and he gives the thumbs up! MJF is excited, but Shelton denies him the hug. Shelton tells MJF that to make this real clear, this isn’t a thumbs up because of “a bunch of broads and a watch.” The only reason Shelton gave MJF a thumbs up is because of MVP, so don’t forget that. MJF says of course! He loves Montel! We ALL love Montel, right? The fans cheer! MJF says, “We also love our good friend, Bob!”
The fans cheer for “BOB! BOB! BOB!” and MJF says c’mon, let’s see it. Lashley holds out his hand, but MJF says hold on, hold on, he has a feeling he knows where Lashley is going with this. So please, give him one more second. MJF knows Lashley has his reservations, but if he’s in the Syndicate, then they’ll get all the money, the power, the respect, and the gold! Lashley brings a lot to the table, but with all due respect, there are things MJF brings to the table that Lashley does not. MJF knows AEW better than anybody. MJF knows how to cut corners better than anybody! And he knows how to win by any means necessary better than anybody.
If they let MJF in, they don’t just run AEW, they run professional wrestling! MVP says that’s a good point. MJF says he knows they got off on the wrong foot, but really, that’s not MJF’s fault. But, but, but…! MJF is willing to admit as Salt of the Earth, he’s been a bit prickly over the rejections. So MJF wants Lashley to know, from the bottom of his heart, two words he’s never said before… “I’m sor…” MJF trails off and the fans chant, “Say You’re Sorry!” MJF says he is, okay? Shut up! “Bob…! I’m sorry!” MJF gets it out and the fans cheer! MJF catches his breath and then Lashley holds up his hand. MJF panics and says before Lashley puts the thumb down…!
Did Lashley see the car he drove here in? Did they like that car? If Lashley gives a thumbs up, that car is his! MVP says that’s another good offer. Lashley chuckles and says he needs the keys. Of course! But they’re in the back, so we gotta take a walk. Okay, let’s go take a walk. MJF says we’re taking a walk! The fans cheer as MJF leads the way back to the parking lot. MJF tells the fans they’re as tough to look at as they’ve been lovely, so thank you. But will the keys to that incredible car be the key to MJF joining the Hurt Syndicate?
MJF and the Hurt Syndicate arrive in the parking lot.
MJF has the valet hand the keys back, and MJF has them look at this beauty. Talk about horsepower! It is gorgeous! Lashley takes the keys, steps into the driver’s seat, and Shelton joins him at shotgun. MJF asks for a thumbs up, but Lashley just drives away! Thumbs… DOWN?!? MJF just got tricked! MVP has MJF calm down and says you gotta give the people what they want. MJF grits his teeth as he tells Lashley to have fun with the car… But if it isn’t gifts that will win The All Mighty over, what must MJF give him?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee is with the once again Anxious Millennial Cowboy, and she notes that was a huge victory for Hangman in the Owen Hart Tournament. Hangman beat the wild card, Josh Alexander, and is now set to face Kyle Fletcher next week in the semifinals held in Norfolk, Virginia. Kyle viciously attacked last week, so how is- “The MOMENT that I see Kyle Fletcher, I am going to put his ass in the ground! And it looks like somebody wants to get in here, so get your ass in here.” MJF steps in and says, “Howdy, Cowboy. How you been? You look great. By the way, I wanted to compliment you on your new haircut. I love that it makes it look like you met your wife at a family reunion.”
Hangman says MJF hasn’t changed anything about himself since he was 12 years old. But Hangman is in the middle of an interview, so unless MJF has something of substance to add, he should just get in his car and- Oh…! Right, we just saw what happened there. MJF sarcastically laughs that off, and says it’s “Joke Man” Adam Page. Here’s a joke for him: Guy enters the Owen Hart Tournament, only to then watch MJF stroll on in through the backdoor with the Hurt Syndicate to reclaim what is rightfully his and become a TWO-TIME AEW World Champion. Hangman says like MJF knows anything about the backdoor.
MJF’s whole plan is to use Hurt Syndicate, but how does that get him an inch closer to the world title? But maybe after Hangman beat MJF’s ass at Revolution, MJF had to figure something out because he knows he can’t win matches, and he knows he can’t hang with Hangman. MJF says wow, first of all, of course Hangman doesn’t understand his intentions with The Hurt Syndicate, Hangman’s an idiot. Second of all, Hangman wants to act high and might because he beat MJF, well check the math, they’re 1-1. If they ever do face off again, MJF sends Seabiscuit to the glue factory where he belongs.
And third of all, the personal favorite for MJF: Hangman thinks he’s a badass for being in the Owen Hart Cup? Hangman is a great wrestler, MJF will not take that away from him. But if Hangman does manage to get to the finals, he’ll just do what he does best, and that’s choke. MJF leaves, Hangman shouts he has something for MJF to choke on! Dumbass! Hangman storms off, but will he make it through the semifinals? Or will the Aussie Arrow make sure Hangman can’t go Double or Nothing?
Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis Family VS Will Ospreay & Brody King!
Speaking of the Owen Hart Cup, the Walking Weapon lost to The Cowboy, and the Alpha lost to the Aerial Assassin in their epic semifinal showdown.

They double whip, DOUBLE ELBOW, then stand Ospreay up for DOUBLE BACK SUPLEXES! They shake hands, and then DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Takeshita flexes, then he drags Ospreay up. Konosuke bumps Ospreay off buckles, tags Alexander, and Alexander ROCKS Ospreay!
Alexander whips Ospreay, Ospreay reveres and atomic drops! Then he CHOPS Alexander down, before he STANDING MOONSAULT FLOPS as Alexander moves! Alexander grabs a leg for an ANKLE LOCK!

Alexander runs to drop a KNEE, but the fans sing for “Ospreay~, Ospreay Ospreay Ospreay~!” Alexander whips corner to corner, Ospreay goes up and over, then Ospreay keeps moving to RANA Alexander!

Konosuke sits Ospreay down and Alexander CROSSBODIES! The fans boo but Callis and Lance Archer like what they see, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Callis whispers something to Konosuke before Konosuke rolls into the ring. Alexander looms over Ospreay, holds him up, and Konosuke distracts the ref, allowing Callis to get a cheap shot in! Callis is giddy as he goes back to commentary. Alexander then storms in and he stomps Ospreay around. Alexander stalks Ospreay, CHOPS him, then Konosuke CHOKES Ospreay in the corner! The ref reprimands, but Alexander scoops and SLAMS Osprey! Tag to Konosuke and he goes up to SUPER SENTON! Cover, TWO! Konosuke drags Ospreay up, reels him in, and Ospreay endures the COBRA TWIST! The ref checks on Ospreay, but that lets Konosuke link up with Alexander!
The ref looks and sees what they’re up to, so Alexander lets go. Konosuke scoops Ospreay for a BACKBREAKER! Tag to Alexander, he stalks Ospreay, and he steps on Ospreay’s foot to keep him from Brody. Alexander then stomps the ankle! Alexander grabs a leg, twists Ospreay’s ankle, then he JAMS the leg up! Ospreay hobbles away, but he still CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! But Alexander dropkicks the bad leg! Ospreay falls in a heap, and Alexander fishhooks him into sitting up!

Ospreay staggers to a corner, Alexander UPPERCUTS him again! Ospreay falls, Alexander clamps on a chinlock! Dynamite returns to single picture and the fans rally up.

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

Archer drags Knight up, brings him around, and whips him hard into railing! Knight sputters, the fans cheer him on, but Archer brings Knight up. Archer ROCKS Knight, sits him in a chair, and then runs up to BOOT him down! Knight slumps against the barriers while Archer refreshes the count. But this just lets Callis get his shots in! Callis hammers Knight, but stops before he gets caught. Callis talks smack on the fans, especially that one guy in the third row. Archer stands Knight up against barriers, calls out a small child in their father’s arms, and then CHOPS Knight! Archer drags Knight along the way, taunts more fans, but Knight fires body shots!

Archer looms over Knight, stands on Knight’s hand, then steps off as the ref reprimands. Archer taunts Knight, stands him up, and pulls hair to put him in the corner. Archer climbs up, taunts the fans, and he smothers Knight! Archer rains down fists, but he stops short of ten to rob the fans the satisfaction! Spring Breakthru returns to single picture and Archer runs corner to corner. ELBOW! Archer keeps moving, and he ELBOWS Knight again! Archer wants more, so he runs again, to ELBOW Knight again!

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

Claudio runs up, UPPERCUTS, and UPPERCUTS, and UPPERCUTS!
The ref backs Claudio off, the fans boo, but Claudio just seethes. Cole drags himself up with the ropes, Claudio runs back in, UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! Claudio just UPPERCUTS and ELBOWS away! The ref backs Claudio off, warns him to listen to authority, but Claudio goes back in for more UPPERCUTS! The fans rally for Cole as he takes these shots, but then Claudio hoists him up top! Claudio climbs, goes to the very top, SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Cover, ONE, and into a ghost pin! COLE WINS!!!
Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Claudio is in shock! But perhaps his anger got the better of him as he could’ve done things different. But the rest of the Undisputed Kingdom/Paragon is here to celebrate with their guy! Will Cole, Roddy & Kyle all be rolling on the road to Double or Nothing? Wait, now Claudio FLIPS the desk over in his anger! And then he stands it up on it’s side to tip it the other way! And another way! Yuta and Moxley hurry out here to try and calm Claudio down, and the fans taunt Claudio, “That’s expensive! That’s expensive!” They even chant “LOSERS! LOSERS!” The Death Riders storm off, what will satiate their anger?
Backstage interview with “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith.
Lexy Nair is with the former Learning Tree Branches, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. She brings up how last week, Chris Jericho said he wasn’t angry, he was just disappointed, and then he left them to themselves. Where do they go from here? Bill says Jericho was disappointed in them, but Bill is disappointed in Jericho. Jericho is supposed to be the leader, and yet he walks out on them? Quite honestly, Bill is getting… angry. Keith wants Bill to chill. Not right now. What? What’s the difference? They talked about this in private, what’s the difference with it being now? Keith says it is like Bill just said: It was in private.
Keith knows Jericho said they were family, and that means something to Keith. And he just feels that if they’re family, they should handle this like family, and that is internally. And maybe, if Bill didn’t put Jericho on blast last week, Jericho wouldn’t have left. Bill understands, family is very important. That is why Keith wants to get back in the good graces of Jericho. Bill gets that. He just isn’t sure they should be living and dying at the whims of Jericho. Either way, the strategy moving forward is the same: They need to get in the ring, crack some skulls, and stack some wins. Lexy, to answer the question of what’s next, that is next.
Bill heads out, Keith follows, but will they do better or worse without The Nueve?
Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Rosario Grillo, Leon St. Giovanni & KM!
Finally, El Toro Blanco has returned! Rush leads Dralistico y The Beast Mortos into action again, will LFI finally stampede through AEW?
The trios sort out and LFI just attacks! Dralistico has Grillo, Rush has KM and Mortos as LSG! Things spill out side, LFI send their opponents into barriers, and then Darlistico CHOPS Grillo! Rush stomps KM, Dralistico stomps Grillo, and Mortos is back in the ring. The fans fire up with Mortos, and Dralistico sends Grillo into more railing! Rush regroups with his hermanos, both literal and in arms. Dralistico CHOPS LSG, Mortos SPLASHES, and then Mortos whips LSG corner to corner for another SPLASH! Mortos whips LSG to ropes now, for a POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Tag to Dralistico and he springboards in, FLYING CODE BREAKER!
LSG flounders around and the fans fire up. KM tags in, but Dralistico SOBATS, KICKS, and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up as Dralistico tags in Rush! The fans fire up and Rush SUPERMAN PUNCHES KM! Then he DECKS LSG, HEADBUTTS Grillo, and he lets Dralistico FLY! Down go LSG and Grillo! Rush then says, “You mess with the bull…” YOU GET THE BULL’S HORNS!! KM takes those right in the face! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: La Faccion Ingobernable, by pinfall
LFI makes quick work, and Rush says LFG! Will these three be like bulls in a China shop when it comes to the AEW Trios Division?
Backstage interview with Kevin Knight.
Renee catches up to The Jet as he and “Speedball” Mike Bailey say hey. A big congratulations for Knight in winning against Archer. Renee is pretty sure that match came about because Callis didn’t like the rejection he got in trying to recruit Knight and Speedball. Knight says pretty much, but that’s understandable. He doesn’t think the Don- Ricochet steps in, backwards hat and military coat not really going together, but he tells Knight to shut it. Ricochet says these goofs are not the story of the week. The story is how they screwed Ricochet last week and stole that prize money!
Speedball says if by “screwed,” Ricochet means Speedball’s team beat him fair and square to win 400 stacks, then yeah, he got screwed. Ricochet says first, you pinned Mortos, not Ricochet. And seeing as how they’re the new guys here, here’s some “veteran advice.” Don’t upset the top talent in AEW. You don’t disrupt the chain of command. And since Knight and Speedball are so low, at the bottom of the pole, take his advance before something bad happens. Knight says Ricochet has it all twisted, they respect him. Knight and Speedball respect the game, the in-ring talent, the hot wife, all of that.
But anything that Ricochet can do, the Jet can, too. In fact, here’s something he can do that Ricochet can’t. And then he shakes them dreads! Ricochet says here’s what he can do: he can smack Knight in his mouth! Then do it then! Maybe he will, if Knight keeps talking! Knight fakes a slap and makes Ricochet flinch! Ricochet says okay, he wants trouble now. Yeah, Knight needs that. Speedball says okay, just not tonight. Speedball and Knight head out, Renee tosses her hair and leaves. But will the One & Only find he’s the only one with a problem?
ROH World TV Championship: Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Nick Wayne!
If Christian Cage is to be believed, this match has come about all thanks to him pulling the strings. But at the same time, he told his “son” that he’d have to win this one on his own. Will The Prodigy make The Patriarch of the Patriarchy proud? Or will the Commander of the Skies ruin Christian’s “gift?”
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s the real star of ROH TV!
The Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick SPITS at Komander! The bell rings, the fans boo, and Komander DORPKCIKS Nick! Komander fires off hands in the corner, Nick scurries away but Komander keeps on him! Komander CHOPS, Nick kicks low, and then Nick ROCKS Komander. Nick storms up, but Komander kicks, mule kicks, front kicks, and CHOPS! The fans fire up, Komander whips, but Nick reverses. Komander rolls off Nick’s back, then blocks the chop to knuckle lock and CHOP! Komander goes up, up, jumps around, and then FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up again while Nick flounders away.
Komander runs in, Nick TOSSES him to the ramp! Nick comes back, but Komander GAMANGIRIS him down! Komander goes up with Nick in the drop zone! But Nick hurries away, no Cielito. Komander still tightrope walks to ARABIAN PRESS, only for Nick to put him on the apron! Komander RAMS into Nick, springboards, and CROSSBODIES! Then DROPKICKS! The fans fire up while Nick bails out to the ramp. Komander aims, springboards, but Nick dodges! Komander comes back, Nick puts him in the ring, then he ducks a haymaker to HOTSHOT! Komander falls and the fans boo, but Nick checks his teeth.
We see Christian Cage, Kip Sabian & Mother Shayna are watching this backstage as Nick hurries back in the ring. Nick stomps Komander, RAMS him into a corner, then puts him up top. Komander wobbles, Nick winds up to CHOP, then Nick climbs. Komander fires hands and Nick backs off. Komander hops down, springboards, but Nick SHOVES him down! Komander crashes to the floor and Collision goes picture in picture.
Abrahantes coaches Komander, and Nick goes outside to taunt the fans. Nick then fetches Komander to THROW him into railing! Komander writhes, Nick soaks up heat much like he did during Prelude to Spring Breakthru. Nick fetches Komander again, puts him in the ring, and taunts the fans before stepping inside. Cover, TWO! Nick is annoyed but he looms over Komander. Nick drags Komander up, throws him into the ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Nick steps off and he taunts the fans before he CHOKES Komander again! The ref counts again, Nick steps off, and Komander sputters while Nick swaggers around.
Nick drags Komander up, brings him around, and snapmares for a leg drop! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this and Nick grows frustrated. Nick tells the fans to shut up, but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Nick again has Komander on the ropes, literally. Nick whips Komander then KNEES him against the ropes! Nick soaks up the heat, whips Komander again, but Komander springboards to go up and FLYING ARM-DRAG! Then he reels Nick into a EURO CLUTCH! TWO!! Nick escapes in time, but Komander CHOPS! And CHOPS! Nick kicks low, runs, but Komander scoops to BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up while both men are down! Abrahantes and Boston rally for “KO-MAN-DER!” Nick goes to a corner, Komander runs up, but Nick dodges! Nick runs in, but Komander puts him up top, ROCKS and CHOPS him, then triangle jump ENZIGIRIS!
Nick flops to the ramp and the fans fire up! Komander builds speed, and he FLIES to SWANTON Nick on the ramp! A rough landing no matter what, but Komander still kicks Nick in the ring. Komander aims from the corner, tunes up the band and the fans join in. Komander runs, goes up, up, and MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Nick survives but the fans taunt him with “Whose Mom?” “NICK’S MOM!” Komander drags Nick up, torture racks, but Nick fires hands! Nick is free, he goes to a corner, but Komander runs up. Nick goes up and over, victory rolls, TWO! Komander runs back in, but Nick sends him hard into buckles!
The fans boo while Nick takes aim. Nick kicks but Komander ducks it! Komander RAMS Nick into the corner, then hops up, POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO! Nick survives and both men are down while the fans fire back up. Komander goes back to the corner, aims and springboards, but Nick slips around! DRAGON SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Nick is stunned, but he takes aim again! Komander rises, into Nick’s ROUNDHOUSE! Then up, up, WAYNE- TIGER FEINT sweeps the legs! And then a FLYING DESTROYER!! Nick tumbles out of the ring, staggers around, and the fans are thunderous as Komander builds speed!
Komander goes up, up, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS!! Direct hit on Nick and Boston is erupting! Komander puts Nick in, “This is Awesome!” as Komander climbs again. Nick is in the drop zone, for CIELITO LINDO onto BOOTS!! Nick turns things around, then takes aim, ROUNDHOUSE! Nick roars, reels Komander in to pump handle and PRODIGY PLEX!! Cover, NICK WINS!!!
Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall (NEW ROH World Television Champion)
Boston doesn’t like it, but Nick Wayne just became the youngest singles champion in ROH! The Patriarchy is certainly proud, but then Christian Cage leaves Shayna and Kip to go off somewhere. Will he prepare some other gift for his Prodigy as celebration?
Hologram is loading.
And Hologram will return to action next week for Playoff Palooza! Will the incredible win streak continue?
Top Flight speaks.
Dante Martin calls out Action Andretti & Lio Rush to say, “Guess what? We just came from Tony Khan’s office, and there’s no more running, there’s no more hiding, no more ducking, because we have a match next week.” Darius says it isn’t just any match. This has been going on for far too long, so they’re over the wrestling part of this. They want to fight The Cru! Forget the rules, forget the tags, it is a TORNADO TAG MATCH! Leila Grey tells Action & Lio that they’ll see ’em next week for Collision: Playoff Palooza. That is, if The Cru has the balls to show up. Well hold on, The Cru shows up now!
Lio & Action tell Top Flight that they don’t have to wait! Security steps in and keeps this from getting out of hand, but what will happen when there’s nothing holding these teams back?
BREAKING NEWS for a future Dynamite!
It will be AEW’s return to Portland, Oregon, June 11th, when AEW does the unthinkable! It will be the first-ever AEW Summer Blockbuster, a FOUR HOUR edition of Dynamite! That’s right, F O U R!! Get tickets next Thursday, or at least set your DVRs so you do not miss what could be an instant classic!
Toni Storm is here!
The Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion was present last night to watch from afar, but now she wants to get a closer look at tonight’s main event!
Mercedes Mone & Harley Cameron VS Kris Statlander & Julia Hart!
The CEO is reluctant to step back into the ring alongside the wild Aussie, but Harley’s probably the only person who would team with her at this point. Can Harley help Mone keep the Money (Wrath) Train on track? Or will the #BornAgainKristen and the Princess of the Black Throne make a winning combination?
The teams sort out and Mone starts against Kris for both a revival of their rivalry, and also a teaser of what could be for the Owen Hart Cup finals. The two tie up, and Kris SHOVES Mone down! The fans cheer as Kris flexes, but Mone tags Harley. Harley and Kris tie up, and Kris SHOVES Harley away! Harley tags Mone back in, and then picks up Mini Mone! Wait, wait, Harley tags in Mini Mone? Is this a substitution or a 3v2 Handicap now? Harley THROWS Mini Mone at Kris, which Kris easily catches. Kris passes Mini Mone to Julia, how just puts Mini Mone down to step on! Harley tries to roll Kris up but Kris stays up.
Kris drags Harley to her feet, then slips around to roll Harley up! Harley rolls through, Oklahoma Rolls back, TWO! Kris runs up, Harley headlocks, but Kris powers up and out. Harley tilt-o-whirls and HARLEY-GO-ROUNDS! Kris ends up in a corner, the fans fire up, and Harley shouts, “Feel The Wrath~!” Harley runs in, Kris dodges, and then Kris runs in. Harley ELBOWS Kris, has Kris in the ropes, and sunset flips! TWO! Kris kicks, then deadlifts Harley for a suplex! The fans fire up, Kris tags Julia, and Julia takes the handoff to wrench and YANK Harley’s arm! Julia YANKS the arm again and again, then goes up the ropes.
Julia knuckle locks, then tightrope walks! The fans fire up as Julia hits an OLD SCHOOL! Then she adds a BLINDSIDE LARIAT! Cover, but Mone breaks it! The fans cheer, but Julia drags Harley up. Harley JAWBREAKERS, then runs, dodges, and ENZIGIRIS! Tag to Mone, but Julia drop toeholds! Julia dribbles Mone off the mat, but Mone gets free. Mone goes to a corner, Julia runs up and ELBOWS! Julia runs side to side, tags Kris, then goes back to ELBOW Mone again! Kris runs in and KNEES Mone down! Kris brings Mone around to scoop, and FALL AWAY SLAMS! The fans fire up while Mone flounders out and Kris flexes.
Kris goes to the apron, Mone blocks the kick, but Kris handstands out of the throw! Kris also avoids the sweep of her arms, but Mone goes up! Kris avoids the meteora, and they both stop as the other shows haymaker! They then look at Toni Storm, and then they both ROCK the other! Julia and Harley run up, but Mone and Kris DECK them! Then they fire fast hands with each other! The fans fire up, Kris KNEES low, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Kris reels Mone in and FLAPJACKS her off the apron! Mone flounders, Kris stands on her while doing the CEO dance! Kris hauls Mone up and into the ring, covers, TWO! Kris drags Mone up, tags Julia, and they mug Mone. Julia ROCKS Mone, whips her to a corner, but Mone reverses. Mone runs up, blocks boots and ROCKS Julia! Julia is in the ropes and Mone hits the STOCK DROP! Mone huffs ‘n’ puffs before she drags Julia to a cover, TWO! Mone is annoyed but she drags Julia up again. Mone snapmares Julia, runs, and METEORAS! Cover, TWO! Julia stays in this but Mone taunts Kris. Mone dares Julia to crawl to Kris, but then she bumps Julia off buckles.
Mone tags Harley and they mug Julia. Harley brings Julia around, whips her to ropes, and ELBOWS her down! Cover, TWO! Harley stays between Julia and Kris, then brings her around. Julia JAWBREAKERS free, then CLUBS Harley. Julia CHOPS Harley at the ropes, CHOPS her again, then fires forearms. The ref counts, Julia backs off, but then Julia whips Harley to ropes. Harley ducks ‘n ‘dodges, and DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! The fans rally while Julia and Harley crawl, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as they hot tag Mone and Kris! The fans fire up as Mone CHOPS, knuckle locks and goes up, up, and FLYING ARM-DRAGS!
Mone does her dance, then runs corner to corner, DOUBLE KNEES! Mone reels Kris in, the fans rally, and Mone snap suplexes! That’s Una Amiga, and then Mone gets Kris up for Dos Amigas! then THREE AMIGAS! But Kris stops it before quatro! Harley makes the save, and she helps Mone, only for Kris to DOUBLE SUPLEX! Kris rolls through?! DOS DOUBLE SUPLEX! Kris rolls through again and THREE DOUBLE SUPLEX!! The fans are thunderous, we see Jamie Hayter watching backstage and applauding, and Kris puts Mone & Harley in the drop zone! Kris goes up, but Harley rolls with Mone to avoid the 450 Splash!
The fans fire up as Kris tags Julia while Mone and Harley seem to have a tender moment of friendship. Julia ruins the moment with a STANDING MOONSUALT! Julia then tilt-o-whirls Mone, but Mone stops that to RAM Julia into the corner! And then she puts Julia in the Tree of Woe for KNEE after KNEE after KNEE! Mone goes out, goes up, but Julia SPIDER SUPLEXES her away! Harley runs up, Julia sits up to then roll back, and she takes a swing! Harley reels Julia in for a NECKBREAKER! Kris kicks Harley, reels her in, and hits a NORTHERN LIGHTS BOMB! But then Mone METEORAS Kris! Julia stalks Mone, runs up, wrench and STO!
Julia puts Mone in the drop zone, goes back up the corner, and HART SAULT gets KNEES! The fans fire up while Julia and Mone are both down! Julia and Mone stir, “This is Awesome!” as a standing count starts. Mone and Julia stir at about 4 of 10, crawl for their corners, hot tag to Kris! Kris fires off on Mone with forearms! Kris ROUNDHOUSES Mone, BLASTS Harley, and then runs up on Mone. Mone hooks her into the Gory Especial! Kris fights free, scoops Mone, but Mone kicks and flails! Kris’ legs give out, they both flop down, and the two fight on the mat. Kris powers up to her feet, but Harley tags in!
Harley brings Mone out of the gut wrench, but Kris hits the DISCUS LARIAT! Kris kicks, Mone blocks, and Mone KNEES Kris in return! Mone whips, Kris reverses, and Mone is sent into Julia’s TARANTULA!! But Harley rolls Kris up! TWO!! Mone is stuck as Kris scoops Harley and hits a BACKBREAKER! Then Kris cording holds Harley’s arm, kisses the bicep, and hits the Hayterade?! Cover, Kris & Julia win!
Winner: Kris Statlander & Julia Hart, by pinfall
That wasn’t just the game winner Kris hit on Harley, it was a message sent to Jamie! Luther helps Toni Storm to the ring so she can applaud Kris, and even blow a kiss! Will Kris go Double or Nothing with Mone to then go All In with Toni? Or will Kris feel a Hayterade from the source?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to not just wrap Spring Breakthru but to keep things going immediately from last night. Very good promo from The Opps after their win, and some great stuff with The Death Riders for once. The Death Riders throwing a fit was good stuff, and Moxley had a good promo to call out Samoa Joe. Moxley wants his match with Samoa Joe, that’s a great detail in itself, and that is going to be a great match for Double or Nothing. Claudio stepping up to Adam Cole’s Open Challenge was also cool, and that was a great match. Cole surviving was a good touch, especially with how it just pissed Claudio off more.
Very good promo from Bill & Keith, and it feels very obvious that Keith will betray Bill to side with Jericho. We will get Bill VS Jericho, Keith will screw Bill, but then something will happen where Bill gets his rematch and wins over Jericho in the end. Really good “letter” from FTR to keep up their passive aggressive nature, and you can bet they’ll just do all the same things again next week when they’re back. Great to see LFI back in full force, but let’s just hope they actually get going this time around. There could even be some interesting intertwining of stories if LFI challenge for the trios titles at Double or Nothing, putting Joe in a double header situation since he’ll face Moxley for the world title.
Good promo from Top Flight with Cru to hype up next week’s Collision. But does every post-basketball Collision need a nickname? And as nicknames go, “Playoff Palooza” sounds more like a promotional deal run at a supermarket or car dealership. Really good stuff from the Don Callis Family tonight. Great match from Knight VS Archer and a great win for Knight. Knight and Speedball have a good promo with Ricochet, and a match of Knight VS Ricochet would be awesome, I hope we see it before Knight’s off for Best of the Super Juniors.
Great tag match of Alexander & Takeshita VS Ishii & Rocky, and I should’ve realized watching ROH Prelude to Spring Breakthru was teasing something for tonight. Rocky was salty over that loss there, and then he got even saltier during this match. Great to see Trent back, and now Roppongi Vice is Don Callis Family! They can be the tag team of the faction while Konosuke, Kyle Fletcher and now Josh Alexander all go for singles titles. Awesome ROH World Television Championship match from Komander and Nick Wayne, and again to my surprise, the Prelude foreshadowed stuff. Nick brought momentum into this match, he won this title, and unless he loses it back to Komander at like Supercard of Honor, he probably will bring the title to NJPW BOSJ.
Another great handicap match win for Megan Bayne, but she’ll still be spinning her wheels until after Double or Nothing with all this other stuff going on. Great promo from Mone, Harley & Mini Mone before their main event tag match, and same for Kris having a good promo with Jamie Hayter. That was of course a great match, and Kris winning using Jamie’s finisher was wild. I feel like with Toni Storm paying more attention to Kris, that’s a sign Kris is beating Jamie to face Mone at Double or Nothing. It’s still anyone’s guess who wins the Cup, because Toni VS Kris and Toni VS Mone are both great matches.
