PLAY BY PLAY

Wardlow finishes set-up for something.

He sighs as he brings out cardboard cut-outs of MJF and walks down a beige plaid carpet. Fans chant for “CM Punk! CM Punk!” but as the cut-outs show, these are highlights of MJF’s dirty win over the Best in the World. Wardlow then gives Justin Roberts his introduction notes. “Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first, being accompanied by pro-wrestling great, Tully Blanchard, they are the living legends, FTR.” Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler make their way out with Tully, all holding glasses of champagne as they strut to the ring. “Next, we have the greatest accountabilibuddy of all time, the Chair Man, Shawn Spears.”

Spears makes his way out, chugging the bottle of bubbly. And Spears gives Justin a big folder to read, “Soon to arrive to the ring, he hails from the most magical place in the world, Plainview, Long Island, New York. He is the three-time Dynamite Diamond Ring Champion, the man who has never been beaten clean in the middle of the ring and is undefeated in AEW. The man who pins shoulders on mats and bangs all the rats; the king of All Elite Wrestling; the undefeated, undisputed, uncrowned AEW World Champion; the past, the present and the future of professional wrestling; the greatest of all time; the sprawl god; the Salt of the Earth…

“The man who beat PG Punk twice in that dumpster fire known as Chicago in the M-M-M-MID west, ladies and gentlemen, please give a round of applause to the man who is better than you, and you know it… Maxwell Jacob Friedman, MJF.” Fans boo as MJF makes his entrance from the center of the stage, with men carrying him on a palanquin and young women leading the way in fancy dresses. MJF blows kisses to the Atlantic City crowd as they boo and jeer. The palanquin is brought right up to the apron, the young ladies give MJF kisses, that redhead really going for it.

MJF gets in to work up into a big group hug, that oddly doesn’t include Wardlow. And then confetti falls from the ceiling! MJF gets the mic to have his music stop. “It’s hot in AC tonight, baby!” So he’ll make this perfectly clear, he’s holding the mic so settle down. He’s pretty sure he made it crystal clear that he is the best wrestler on the planet. Not Kenny Omega, not Bryan Danielson, not Adam Cole, not Hangman Page. No no, you’re looking at the Best in the World! Scratch that. He beat Punk twice in Chicago, he’s better than the best in the world! But last week was bittersweet, he must admit. Fans tell MJF to STFU but he says he’s just getting started.

Last week, as MJF was on top of CM Punk after beating him twice in Chicago, a lot of emotion came over him. He realized he beat someone he grew up watching. So he leaned over to whisper two heartwarming words into his ear: “You Suck!” MJF high-fives Spears for the gottee, but seriously. If anyone deserves to hear “Thank you,” it is the man who helped him beat CM Punk twice in Chicago. That strapping young man’s name is… SHAWN SPEARS! What? Spears helping him in the warm-ups really helped. Fans chant, “Wardlow! Wardlow!” but Spears says given MJF’s historic win, he got MJF a gift!

Spears points to the titantron, and it’s a new graphic! “Better than the Best in the World, and you know it!” New shirt, too! Available now on AEW Shop. They can get that right now? Wow! But hold on, hold on. MJF isn’t here just to party, he’s here to make a statement. MJF is better than Bret in Canada, better than Piper in Portland, and damn sure better than Punk in Chicago! “It’s time I become your NEW AEW World Champion!” Fans boo that idea as hard as they can. But here comes CM Punk! No music, just Punk waving Tony Schiavone over.

Schiavone hurries over with a mic, and Punk says, “Gosh, y’know, I’m watching the monitor in the back, and you’re talking about beating me in Chicago. Your win in Chicago is about as suspect as your tan! I’m a little bit of an island amongst myself. I don’t like to ask for help. Luckily today, I learned from my mistake a couple of weeks ago.” Pinnacle is a bunch of jackasses that like to beat up one guy, so today, Punk’s got some friends. Fans fire up as out comes DARBY ALLIN and STIIIING! And they’ve brought baseball bats!

Punk warns the Pinnacle, “Take the jackets off, get your the dress shoes off, this is going to go one of two ways. I’m either gonna get what I want, or I’m going to come down here with my friends and I’m gonna beat it outta you!” Punk wants a rematch! MJF says he won twice, but Punk says he isn’t even talking to him! Punk means the guy who really beat him, WARDLOW! Cuz let’s face it. The whole lotta Pinnacle wouldn’t have won a thing if it wasn’t for that guy. And big man, listen up. You can be on the end of this beating, or you can grow some balls and leave those jerks. MJF wants everyone to just hold on!

First of all, MJF won all by himself! We all know it! Punk hopes Wardlow is hearing this. MJF says second of all, Wardlow hangs with Pinnacle not just cuz he’s under contract with MJF, but because he is their best friend! Everyone knows that! Max, shut up. MJF wants to say third of all, but Dax asks Punk if Punk thinks Dax likes dressing like this. No, he doesn’t look good in a damn suit. Dax is more comfortable in his ring gear. But if Punk’s talking rematches, then how about the absolute best tag team in this world getting a rematch?!

Punk talks it over with Sting and Darby, and all Dax had to do was ask. Punk, Darby and Sting have been itching for a rematch from Greensboro, especially since it lets him get his hands on “lil’ Max.” MJF still wants everyone to hold on! No way MJF wrestles in the cesspool of Atlantic City! Plus, this does give MJF an idea. If Punk wants a rematch against MJF, and MJFTR wants a rematch with Punk, Darby & Sting, then how about we roll the dice? Tony Khan will love this, too. Given the condition Punk’s in, if he can beat the greatest tag team, FTR, with any partner he chooses, MJF will give Punk any match, any time, anywhere!

However! The deal is, it can’t be “twiddle dumb or twiddle dipsh*t,” Darby and Sting. Of course. Those two have to head to the back, so good luck finding someone who doesn’t hate Punk’s guts! In the meantime, Wardlow, suit up because you’ve got a match up next. MJF is gonna keep this party rolling, because he is better than the Best in the World, and you know it! Will Punk find someone to join him against the AAA Tag Team Champions? Will he then win and get his rematch with MJF?

 

Andrade El Idolo meets with Darby & Sting backstage.

Schiavone holds the mic for Andrade as this “business” meeting finally happens. Finally, Andrade finds Darby’s boss. Nice to meet you, Senor Sting. Andrade knows, Darby knows, and everyone knows that the kid works for Sting. Sting thought Darby made it clear that’s not the case. Darby thought he did, too. A couple things, Andrade. One, Darby isn’t a kid. Number two, if you wanna talk to Darby and have a dispute with him, just talk to him mano a mano. Darby says Andrade needs to stop wasting his time. Darby has better things to do than work for Andrade. Like become the next TNT Champion.

Andrade smirks and says Darby will work for him. They have something in common. Darby wants that TNT Championship, but Andrade IS the next TNT Champion. Andrade leaves, and Sting can tell he means it. It seems the lines have been drawn, will Darby handle his business before Andrade snipes that title?

 

Wardlow w/ Shawn Spears VS The Blade!

The accountabilibuddy follows Mr. Mayhem out, who got ready as quickly as he could. Will the Pinnacle’s War Dog take one step closer to that Face of the Revolution Ladder Match? Or will he be cut down by the Andrade Hardy Family Office’s main mercenary?

Blade CHOP BLOCKS Wardlow from behind! The bell rings to get this on record as Blade stomps a mudhole into Wardlow! The ref backs Blade off, Wardlow gets up and hobbles to another corner. Blade runs in, but into a back elbow! Fans chant for Wardlow as he gets the bad leg moving. Blade kicks the leg out, throws forearms, then runs. Wardlow CLOBBERS Blade! Blade staggers up, Wardlow gets him for an OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Wardlow still has to get his bad leg going, but he storms up on Blade for another OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Spears cheers Wardlow on, and Wardlow stalks Blade for a third OVERHEAD Belly2Belly!

Wardlow hobbles on the bad leg as Spears coaches him up. Blade bails out, Wardlow goes out after him and bumps him off the apron. Wardlow walks better as he RAMS Blade into a post! Spears says to keep on him as AEW goes picture in picture.

Blade CHOPS, Wardlow CLUBS Blade! Wardlow SMACKS Blade off the chair in the corner! Wardlow walks off the pain in his leg, stomps Blade, then puts him in the ring. But then Wardlow drags Blade out to POST him! Blade staggers, kicks the bad leg, then hurries away. Wardlow still stalks Blade, drags Blade up and bumps him off the apron. Blade is dazed, Spears steps up but Wardlow says he’s got this. Spears backs off, but Blade kicks Wardlow low! Then throat chops him! Blade whips. Wardlow reverses and Blade hits the apron! Wardlow puts Blade in, Spears is fired up but Wardlow again says he needs to stay out of this.

Wardlow walks up the steel steps and Spears looks worried. Wardlow gets in, Blade ROCKS him with a right! Blade kicks low, Wardlow kicks back! Wardlow ROCKS Blade, puts him in a corner and stomps his leg in return. Wardlow hobbles, CLUBS Blade, and snarls as he reels Blade in. Wardlow suplexes, and even with the bad leg, he holds Blade up for a count of 10 before the SLAM! Wardlow flexes, makes the pecs dance, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Blade CHOPS, but Wardlow just gets pissed! Blade CHOPS again, Wardlow RAMS Blade into the corner! Wardlow RAMS his shoulder in, EuroUppers, then RAMS his shoulder again!

Wardlow repeats shoulders and EuroUppers but lets off as the ref counts 4. Wardlow rushes in, Blade KICKS him first! Then again! Wardlow staggers to the corner, Blade runs in, but Wardlow turns jump kick into POWERBOMB! Fans fire up and Wardlow has adrenaline helping him through the pain. Fans want “One More Time!” so Wardlow obliges! He gets Blade up, reels him in, POWERBOMB! Fans still want more, so Wardlow drags Blade up and in, for the third POWERBOMB! And then right back up for the FOURTH POWERBOMB! Cover, Wardlow wins!

Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall

The Powerbomb Symphony comes to Atlantic City, but of course Spears adds a CHAIRSHOT encore! Spears heads out and Wardlow’s mood is ruined. But did Wardlow at least prove he is worthy of the Face of the Revolution match?

 

Penta El Zero M has a message.

Alex Abrahantes says, “Penta says that when Malakai misted his face, he spit into his soul.” Penta drives into a graveyard and pulls out a shovel. “Penta says that if Malakai Black wants to live in darkness, he should be prepared to face the consequences. Penta says, ‘It’s time to rise, Penta Oscuro!'” The darkness within Penta is being resurrected! Will the House of Black regret pushing him this far?

 

Chris Jericho heads to the ring!

The mandatory meeting for the Inner Circle has come, and so Sammy Guevara and Jake Hager are following Le Champion out. But where are Santana & Ortiz? Fans still sing Judas for Jericho, and Jericho gets the mic. “Listen, I know that I said the whole Inner Circle was going to be out here tonight, but honestly, we haven’t seen Santana & Ortiz all day.” But here they come, on their own, as Proud ‘n’ Powerful. They aren’t wearing Inner Circle gear in any way, perhaps already sending a message to Jericho. Jericho says alright, he sees what they’re doing. That’s cute. They do deserve their own spotlight.

But something not cool was a couple weeks ago, when they refused to tag Jericho in during their Six Man Tag against Daniel Garcia & 2point0. They embarrassed Jericho, it was demeaning, and it robbed the fans who paid good money for their tickets of seeing Jericho wrestle. That’s unacceptable, disrespectful, and Jericho just wants to know why. Santana tells Jericho, “Enough with this corny sh*t. For the past few months, I’ve been struggling with this seeing the cup half full kind of mindset. But sometimes, you just got to see things for what they are and call a spade a spade. And at the end of the day, Chris Jericho only cares about one person, and that’s Chris Jericho.”

Any little fight they’ve had, anything they’ve had to shift their focus towards, has always been for the advancement of one person, and that’s Jericho. Is Santana wrong? And at any time it seems Santana & Ortiz have had a bit of spotlight, or making towards the top prize that is the AEW World Tag Team Championships, what happens, Jericho? It gets shut down, thrown to the side, so that they can come to his rescue! Is Santana wrong?! Fans say, “NO!” Santana says he ain’t done, either. Funny that they’re all out here, because Santana & Ortiz came out here to tell Jericho that the days of them playing second fiddle are over and done with!

And don’t raise the mic, Santana still ain’t finished. At the end of the day, it was Jericho always in their way! Jericho was always keeping them from having a bigger spotlight than him! It was always the fans who kept them going! Santana continues more, “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, and I’ll tell you,” as he points to Jericho, Sammy and Hager each in turn, and the same to the fans at home, look at Ortiz’s face and thank him with everything you’ve got. If not for Ortiz, Santana would’ve dropped Jericho’s ass a long time ago! Now Jericho can speak.

Jericho says Santana reminds himself of Eddie Guerrero. Super hyped up, blames everyone else, but goes back to an issue about the tag titles that Eddie Kingston planted in their heads. Kingston, what the hell has he ever done for Santana in AEW? What stroke does he have in AEW? ZERO! Jericho is the influencer here! And since he brought them here, on October 2nd, 2019, they’ve been in the main event of Pay-Per-Views, Dynamites, Rampages, and have made more money than they ever have before! And yet they still wanna put their shortcomings on him?!

Santana & Ortiz had a chance to be tag team champions on February 17th, 2021. But they lost to the Young Bucks. That had nothing to do with Jericho. Yet they wanna pool all their problems on him? Jericho brought them into the Inner Circle, he could kick them the hell out! As a matter of fact, when Jericho thinks about how he put this faction together, with attitudes like this, he has to ask himself, “Maybe I invited the wrong two members of LAX to join.” Oh no… Does Hager still have the numbers of Homicide and Hernandez? Santana goes to choke Jericho!! Sammy jumps in to stop them both, and reminds them that they are a family!

Jericho tells Sammy to shut up! Then Jericho immediately regrets it. Fans chant for Sammy and Santana tries to get Sammy to see things his way. Sammy tells Jericho to save the apology. He doesn’t know what’s going on right now, but he still loves these guys. They’re his family. Inner Circle forever, that’s what they always said. But to be honest with Jericho, Sammy’s goal is to become one of the greatest champions in pro-wrestling ever. And all this bickering, that’s not going to help things. So maybe… Sammy takes off his vest?! “I’ve quit this group before, and unless you guys can figure this s*it out, I’m gonna quit it again.”

The Spanish God has given an ultimatum to all sides of the Inner Circle! Ortiz grabs the mic to say, “What do you expect, Chris? You’re throwing around threats. First Sammy walks away, what’s next?” Jericho could’ve have it more twisted. He’s acting like Eddie Kingston’s never done anything for Santana & Ortiz? He couldn’t be more wrong. Just like the Inner Circle, Kingston is a brother in arms. And one thing is for sure, all this bickering they’re doing in the ring, it isn’t going to settle anything. So here’s a history lesson for where Proud ‘n’ Powerful come from.

“Where we come from, if we have an issue, we don’t settle it by doing this,” and he makes a talking motion with his hand. “We deal with it by using this.” And then he makes a fist! So next week, Santana & Ortiz VS Jericho & Hager! They settle it once and for all! Jericho says he never wanted it to come to this, but if they want a fight, then they’re gonna get one! And after Jericho & Hager slap them around, Santana & Ortiz will have an attitude adjustment. If they don’t, they’ll have to make some changes. See you next week. Attendance is mandatory! Will having a match be what makes or breaks the Inner Circle?

 

Backstage interview with Roppongi Vice.

Trent Beretta & Rocky Romero are with Schiavone, and coming up on this Friday’s Rampage, Roppongi Vice has its reunion against the Young Bucks! Rocky’s 100% and is ready! The world is ready for this! But then the Bucks show up because they saw on the format that they were having this interview. Matt & Nick don’t want to say hi, they wanna go! And then Adam Cole attacks from behind! Matt watches Cole stomp Rocky, and Nick facelocks Trent so Cole can LOW BLOW him! Matt & Nick sit Rocky up, “If you know what’s coming, say it with us out loud.” B T E TRIGGER! Then they get Trent up, and Cole sees someone walking up.

JAY WHITE?! The Switchblade is here in AEW!? And he RAMS Trent into the truck! Jay compliments Nick’s earrings, are things about to get Too Sweet in All Elite?

 

Face of the Revolution Ladder Match Qualifier: Isiah Kassidy w/ AHFO VS ???

Well, he may not have won the TNT Championship on Rampage, but one half of Private Party has another shot, if he wins this to go to the ladder match. But who is his opponent? We find out, after the break.

Dynamite returns, and it’s KEITH LEE!! The Limitless One is here, is he about to make this All E-LEE-TE Wrestling?

The bell rings and fans sing, “Oh~ Bask in His Glory~!” Lee soaks it up, Kassidy fires up and gets in his face! Quen hypes Kassidy up, too, but Lee TOSSES Kassidy across the ring! Matt Hardy is freaking out! Lee then drags Kassidy up by his head, but Kassidy throws forearms! Kassidy kicks low but Lee blocks the whip to reverse and HURDLE! Things keep going, Lee CROSSBODIES Kassidy down! Kassidy hurries out of the ring as fans fire up. “Keith Lee! WOOP WOOP!” Lee goes out, Quen puts Kassidy in. Quen shrugs, Lee says he sees him. Lee gets up, Kassidy punches but Lee blocks to buckle bump Kassidy.

Lee slingshots to CROSSBODY again! Kassidy twitches on the mat as Lee rises up. Lee looms over Kassidy, drags him up and brings him in. Lee smiles, but Kassidy slips under and around to dropkick! Lee wobbles, Kassidy runs, but Lee follows. Lee runs through the clothesline to POUNCE Kassidy out of the ring! Quen and Hardy can’t even register what happened! Hardy bails, going through the crowd! Lee fetches Kassidy, puts him in the ring, and keeps his eyes on Quen. Quen backs off, Kassidy distracts the ref, and Quen tries to grab Lee’s leg. Lee boots Quen away, but Kassidy triangle jump HOTSHOTS!

Lee staggers down, Quen shouts and Kassidy builds speed to TORNILLO! Both men are down, Kassidy hurries to get back in! Kassidy lets the ring count handle this, and Lee slowly rises. Lee stands at 5, gets in at 6. Kassidy runs in to fire off, but Lee shoves him away. Kassidy comes back for more, Lee shoves him away again. Kassidy mule kicks, BOOTS, but Lee just gets mad. Lee SWATS the screw high kick! Lee looms over Kassidy again, brings him up and fans rally. Lee shoves, pops Kassidy up, to the fireman’s carry! BIG BANG CATASTROPHE!! Cover, Lee wins!

Winner: Keith Lee, by pinfall (advances to the Face of the Revolution)

Quen attacks from behind! Lee shrugs him off, but Quen dropkicks and dropkicks !Lee just roars, Quen dodges, Private Party DOUBLE DROPKICK! Lee falls out of the ring, and Kassidy PLANCHAS! But Lee catches him! Quen runs and FLIES, Lee drops Kassidy to catch Quen! Lee then POWERBOMBS Quen onto Kassidy! Lee drags Quen back up, to APRON POWERBOMB! Now Keith Lee can enjoy the moment. Have we just seen the Limitless Face of the Revolution?

 

AEW hears from Britt Baker, Mercedes Martinez and Thunder Rosa.

The Doctor says, “Just to make things clear for those who didn’t get it the first time, I brought in Mercedes Martinez. I paid her.” But La Mera Mera says she is never surprised. And at Rampage, it was no different. Britt makes sure Mercedes understands this time, that her rematch with Rosa will be a No Disqualifications match! Mercedes says No DQ means no excuses. “Everyone knows that the OG Badass performs best when there’s no rules.” But Rosa promises Mercedes that she’s not backing down. Next week, Rosa is ready for No DQ, and guess what? Mercedes has no idea what she’s gotten herself into!

 

Sammy Guevara returns for a cue card promo.

AEW goes picture in picture as Sammy “says,” “Earlier tonight, I set down my vest. I walked away. I did what you said, Chris. I ‘shut up.’ My actions spoke volumes, though. Not about the unraveling of the Inner Circle. Instead, the TNT Championship. Last week, I retained my title. But that doesn’t mean I’m safe. Andrade… Darby… And now… Keith Lee. My focus belongs on one thing: the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match! No matter who enters, or who wins, I will be watching! I will be ready! I am a FIGHTING champion! Let the revolution begin! Sincerely, Sammy Guevara, your UNDISPUTED TNT Champion.”

AEW TBS Championship Open Challenge: Jade Cargill w/ Mark Sterling VS A.Q.A!

Undefeated at 26-0, the inaugural TBS Champion and her lawyer promise she’ll continue to 27-0. But will the 25-year-old graduate of Booker T’s wrestling school become the 1 in 27-1? Or will A.Q.A find herself SOL in her AEW debut on #ThatBitchShow?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if AQA can weather the storm that’s coming.

Jade and AQA circle, tie up, and Jade headlocks. Jade spins it around to a waistlock and a SLAM! AQA scrambles away and Jade says that’s one. Jade dares AQA to bring it, and they tie up again. Jade wrenches to a wristlock, grinds AQA down, but AQA fights up. Jade wrangles AQA down to the mat again, but AQA kips up, hooks a leg, but Jade shoves her away. AQA arm-drags Jade down! AQA gets a short arm scissor, but Jade rolls through and deadlifts AQA with one arm! And she flexes with the other arm! ELECTRIC CHAIR SLAM! And then Jade kips up! Fans cheer the power and athleticism as Jade gets AQA up.

Jade whips, flapjacks but AQA dropkicks! Jade tumbles out of the ring, AQA slides but Jade dodges to then DECK AQA! Fans rally up as AEW goes picture in picture and Jade smacks AQA off the apron.

Jade smacks AQA off the apron again, drags her back up, and THROWS her into the railing! Jade takes her time fetching AQA, and snap suplexes her to the floor! Jade kips up again while AQA is dazed. Jade drags AQA back up and throws her into the ring. Jade stalks AQA as she staggers around. Jade brings her in, but AQA JAWBREAKERS free! AQA runs, but leaps into Jade’s arms! Jade sighs and rolls her eyes before she hits a FALL AWAY SLAM! And again, Jade kips up. Jade says that’s three now. Jade drags AQA up just to throw her down, then drops an elbow! Cover, ONE but Jade lets off because she says that’s not enough.

Jade does push-ups just to show off! Jade gets five in, sees AQA going to the corner, and she “dribbles” before she DUNKS on AQA! Jade ROCKS AQA, hoists her up top, and tells her “I’m! That-” AQA ROCKS Jade with forearms! Jade ROCKS AQA back, and again, then lifts AQA off the corner! Jade carries AQA around before she DROPS her! Then she drops a SENTON! Cover, TWO!! AQA actually kicks out and Jade is upset. AEW returns to single picture, Jade drags AQA back up. AQA breaks free to ROCK Jade with more forearms! JUMPING FOREARM! Jade is still up so AQA throws her whole body at her!

Jade is still only wobbling, so AQA runs, to SLINGBLADE! Both women are down, AQA grits her teeth and fans fire up. Sterling coaches Jade but AQA is up first. AQA staggers over, brings Jade up, but Jade ROCKS her back! Jade whips, AQA tilt-o-whirls, DDT!! AQA puts Jade in the drop zone and goes up top! Fans fire up, AQA takes aim, SHOOTING STAR PRESS!! Cover, TWO!! That’s the closest anyone’s come to beating Jade! AQA hurries back up top, fans fire up again! Jade gets up to trip AQA and ROCK her! Jade whips AQA, AQA BOOTS her back! Jade fires off forearms, hoists AQA up top, and throws more forearms.

AQA shoves Jade, leaps into her arms, but into a TOUR OF THE ISLANDS!! Jade chicken wings and deadlifts AQA, for the JADED!! Cover, Jade wins!

Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)

And still undefeated! She’s 27-0 and only getting stronger, can anyone ever stop the force of nature that is Jade Cargill?

 

Adam Cole and the Young Bucks speak.

Brandon Cutler says they’re live, and says Matt’s tan looks great. Thanks, Brandon. Matt says this Friday night on Rampage, it’ll be the Young Bucks VS Roppongi Vice, who are supposedly at 100%. Right? Remember earlier? Nick says it’s time they climb back to the top of the rankings. Those tag team titles are coming back to the Bucks. And Adam Cole says speaking of Rampage, just like earlier tonight, if the Bucks need any back-up, Jay White’s their guy. Matt’s glad Cole mentioned White. Would it have killed Cole to even just text that he was going to invite someone like White?

Matt isn’t sure Cole’s aware, but uh, at one point, Jay White and Kenny Omega were archenemies. What’s going on here? Cole knows all that, but at this point, trust him. He’s never steered them wrong in the past, and so they can trust White. They may be The Elite now, but remember the oath: When you’re Bullet Club, you’re Bullet Club 4 Life. And just like White made a statement tonight, the Bucks make a statement on Rampage. And Cole has a statement of his own that he has to make. He’ll catch up with them in a bit. Okay. Cutler, did you know about White? He thinks he saw something on Reddit about it. Just what is going on around here?

 

The Professor’s 5 Minute Rookie Challenge: Serena Deeb VS Katie Arquette!

The Professor of Professional Wrestling, the Wolf, has a mic to say, “The last time you people saw me, it took me under three minutes to defeat Skye Blue. And let’s be real, there’s not a woman in the back that is on my level.” In fact, Deeb thinks there’s not a woman that can even go five minutes with her! So that’s why tonight, she issues the Professor’s Five Minute Rookie Challenge. Emphasis on rookie. Her opponent should be honored that she has the privilege to be in the ring with Deeb! And sweetheart, if you wanna put your life on the line, Deeb will gladly be the one to dig that grave. Is Deeb taking no prisoners here tonight?

The bell rings, the clock is ticking, and Deeb ties up with Katie. They go around, Deeb puts Katie in a corner. Deeb grinds forearms in, the ref counts, Deeb lets off at 4, but then EuroUppers! Deeb laughs and swaggers as she waits on Katie. Deeb gives Katie a free shot from behind. Katie waistlocks, Deeb switches and spins Katie around, TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Deeb mockingly shakes Katie’s hand, omoplatas the arm, and even takes some time to mock Katie. Deeb gets the leg, SERENITY LOCK! Katie taps right away, Deeb wins

Winner: Serena Deeb, by submission

With four minutes to spare! Deeb says, “I told you.” But will there come a rookie that Deeb finds can hang with her?

 

AEW hears from Jurassic Express and Gunn Club.

Jungle Boy recounts that the Gunn Club attacked Christian Cage, and they threw him in the snow. But what bothers JB most of all is their entitled attitudes. Gunn Club think they deserve to be in the top five. Colten Gunn says there’s been a lot of talk on what the Gunn Club deserves. But why wouldn’t they? JB says the simple matter of fact is that in the ring, Gunn Club is NOT on Jurassic Express’ level. Austin counters with how he and his brother are gorgeous and athletic. And to go old school, Billy says, “If you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for ya. New champs.” Nice! Gottee! But will Gunn Club take those titles off Jurassic Express? Or will they truly be nothing more than Ass Boys?

 

AEW World Championship Texas Deathmatch: Hangman Page VS Lance Archer!

For whatever reason, Jake the Snake Roberts and Dan Lambert criticized the validity of the champ’s cowboy credentials. But the Murderhawk Monster simply wants to rip the gold out of Hangman’s cold, dead hands! In a match where only knockout or submission wins, will Archer prove #EverbodyDies? Or will Hangman break out some serious #CowboyShit and keep the title around his waist?

But wait! Hangman and Archer are already brawling backstage! Hangman RAMS Archer into the road cases, then into the scissor lift! Hangman pushes Archer up the steps to gorilla position, fans fire up as Hangman CLUBS him along. Archer DECKS Hangman in return, then choke grips! The bell rings to get this on record, and Hangman fights free with elbows. Hangman takes off the belt, to CLOBBER Archer with it! Archer staggers, Hangman RAMS him through the glass in the Murderhawk Monster door! At least it gets used… Fans fire up with Hangman and he throws off the vest, then gives the belt to the ref.

Hangman fetches Archer from the tunnel, Archer is already bloody! Hangman runs Archer down the ramp and into the ring. Hangman aims from the apron as Archer staggers up. Slingshot, BUCKSHOT!! Archer flops out of the ring, the standing count begins! If Archer can’t get up, he’s lost! The count is 5 of 10 quickly, but Archer stirs. Hangman paces as he waits, the count is 7, but Archer stands at 9! Hangman PLANCHAS! Down goes Archer, and Hangman gets back in the ring. Hangman builds speed, DIVES, into a trash can lid! Archer takes Hangman outta the air, then SMACKS Hangman over and over!

Oh, now Lambert shows up to be in Archer’s corner. And he’s working on undoing a corner?! Archer staggers around, Lambert finishes unscrewing the crossbar! Archer SMACKS Hangman off a chair, Jake the Snake coaches him on. Archer drags Hangman up, TOSSES Hangman over railing, and then follows after to throw Hangman into the wall! Archer choke grips, to CHOKE- NO! Hangman lands on top of the barrier, kicks Archer away, and QUEBRADAS! Direct hit and down goes Archer! Fans are loving this “COWBOY SH*T!” as Hangman hobbles. Hangman brings Archer back to ringside but he realizes the top rope is gone! No more Buckshots!

Hangman glares at Lambert, grabs a corner, but Archer uses the ropes to reel Hangman in for a LARIAT! Archer pushes the ref aside to finish unhooking the top rope. AEW goes picture in picture as Archer ripcords and HELLACOASTERS!

Archer fires up but he has to wait on the standing count. Hangman is stirring, so Archer sees the hook on the end of the crossbar! Archer goes after Hangman’s face, and digs the hook into Hangman’s forehead!! The ref reprimands, but it’s not like there’s any disqualifications in this match! Archer lets off, the ref checks Hangman, but Archer goes out to bring out a TABLE from under the ring! And then a second table! Hangman is of course bleeding from where the hook got him, and Archer sets up the tables near the ring. Lambert tries to give Archer suggestions but Archer tells him to shut up.

Archer finishes setting the tables up, and Hangman flops out of the ring. Archer keeps looking for things under the table, and he brings out kendo sticks and a trash can. Archer goes to Hangman, kicks him and ROCKS him, then stalks him around the corner. Archer DIGS his fingers into the wound! Archer pushes Hangman back into the ring, moves things out of the way, and then brings Hangman up. Archer ROCKS Hangman with a right, and Hangman leans against the second rope. Archer goes to the apron, drags Hangman up and reels him in. Archer of course aims for the tables, but Hangman fights back!

Archer CLUBS Hangman, hoists him up, and AEW returns to single picture as Archer scoops. Hangman fights free of the inverted crucifix to ROCK Archer with forearms! Archer drops to a knee, Hangman Alabama lifts! Archer fights that off to choke grip! Hangman throws elbows! Hangman gets in the ring, BOOTS Archer, but Archer holds onto the ropes to stay up! Hangman BOOTS again, Archer wobbles! Hangman sputters through his own blood, to run in, but Archer ROCKS him first! And then throws him into the buckle! Hangman flops to the apron, Archer goes out after him. Archer pulls up the floor mats!

Jake the Snake gets involved, short arm LARIAT! Fans fire up for Jake, but Archer won’t let Jake have any more fun. Hangman kicks Archer back, and hits the DDT! Hangman says, “How’s that?!” and Jake just flips him off. Hangman gets Archer up, puts him back in the ring, and Hangman gets a kendo stick. Fans fire up as Hangman swings the stick around. Hangman SMACKS Archer on the back! Archer seethes, but Hangman SMACKS him again! Archer is firing up from these SMACKS! Hangman SMACKS away on Archer’s head! Hangman sets up the trash can, but Archer blocks the kendo stick!

Archer takes the stick, BREAKS it, then CHOKE SLAMS Hangman on the trash can!! That can is folded in half, and Hangman is down! The standing count begins, it’s already 5 of 10. Hangman sits up at 6, Archer uses a FORK to dig into Hangman’s wound! Archer JABS away! Fans chant, “You Sick F*ck” as Archer tastes the blood! Archer follows Hangman out of the ring, and CANNONBALLS off the apron! Down goes Hangman, and Archer holds up the belt as if he’s already won! The standing count begins, Archer looms over Hangman. Archer drags Hangman back into the ring, and looks under the ring for more.

Archer puts chairs in the ring, throwing them really. One almost hits Hangman, but Archer finds one with barbed wire woven into it! Archer is almost salivating as he puts that chair in the ring. Hangman flounders up, Archer BOOTS him down! Archer then gets the steel ring steps and brings them around. Archer used these last week, he wants to do it again! Archer scoops Hangman, inverted crucifix, BLACKOUT on the steel steps!! Hangman bounces off them, and fans are losing their minds! Archer grins as the count rises, but then the ref takes a moment to check. Hangman is somehow still in this, so Archer gets him back in the ring!

Archer has Hangman up, CLUBS away on his back, but Hangman snatches some of the barbed wire! Archer gets Hangman up, but Hangman throws down barbed wire fists! Hangman fights free of the bomb, puts the wire around his arm, ROLLING ELBOW! And then another ROLLING ELBOW! Archer BOOTS, ripcords, but Hangman gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX! Hangman fires up and fans fire up with him. Hangman gets the barbed wire off his arm, he uses the ref to handspring?! BUCKSHOT off the apron and THROUGH THE TABLES!!! Both men are down and the fans are losing their minds!

A standing count begins on both men! We’re at 4 of 10 as Hangman stirs. Lambert shouts for Archer to get up, but we’re at 8 of 10! Hangman stands and gets in the ring, the count hits 10!! Hangman wins!!

Winner: Hangman Page, by knockout (still AEW World Champion)

The Murderhawk Monster couldn’t kill the fighting spirit of the Millennial Cowboy, but here comes ADAM COLE, BAYBAY! Cole’s said he wants the world title, so he gets right in the ring to snatch it from the ref. Cole looks at the belt, Hangman realizes someone else is in the ring with him. Cole puts the belt on Hangman’s shoulders, then pats the belt. The Panama City Playboy is coming for Pretty Platinum, will Hangman be ready when he does?


My Thoughts:

An AWESOME episode for AEW here. And for once, they give us two women’s matches on one Dynamite! Granted, the second was Serena Deeb’s own personal challenge where she literally won’t give anyone more than five minutes with her. But it works in story because Deeb is very arrogant, and she made a point of it being rookies, not veteran talent. Deeb took her time and still got it down in a minute, so I bet this escalates to where someone really does give her trouble. This could be a great thing for one of the newer stars, like those we’ve seen on Elevation or Dark, while still building Deeb up until Shida makes a return.

Jade Cargill VS AQA was a pretty good match, and certainly a good showing for AQA. But of course, Jade wins. That streak is going to climb, and there’s even a chance Jade might get a shot at the AEW Women’s world title before losing at this point. Britt, Mercedes and Rosa have a good promo to set up the rematch, and I figured it’d be No DQ. Rosa will win, she’ll go after Britt at Revolution, and depending on the details, like Hayter’s growing distrust of Britt, Rosa might end up winning. Rosa is definitely the one that should take the title off Britt to go with their great feud from last year. No idea who takes the TBS title off Jade, though.

We got a pretty great opening segment with the Pinnacle, Punk and more. Of course MJF completely downplays Wardlow’s importance, and I like that Punk was the one to suggest Wardlow leave the group. Of course MJF tells Punk to find someone other than Darby or Sting to team with, and what a great surprise that it was Moxley. No Bryan Danielson tonight but he might bring up his offer to Moxley on Rampage. Of course Moxley and Punk win, and I would think Punk challenges MJF to a match at Revolution, and perhaps it’ll be an Ironman match to add onto how MJF was rubbing it in that he won “twice” in one night, so that whoever gets the most falls wins.

Wardlow gets himself another great win, they should’ve just made this the Face of the Revolution qualifier that puts Wardlow in, but maybe they’re going to let those matches fill up the coming weeks since we’ve still got a month before the PPV. Andrade had a good promo with Darby and Sting, and I would think both Andrade and Darby are going to be in the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match. They will probably cancel each other out and branch off into a match where if Andrade wins, Darby has to work for him, but then I think Darby wins just so we don’t have to go through those couple of weeks where Darby does stuff for Andrade.

We got good promos from Jurassic Express and Gunn Club to hype up their tag title match for Rampage, and I’m pretty sure Jurassic Express wins. Penta has a great vignette and Alex Abrahantes does a great job narrating, and Penta Oscuro = Pentagon Dark, he’s reviving his Lucha Underground persona! Pentagon Dark VS Malakai Black 1v1 is going to be awesome stuff that helps build the feud of Death Triangle VS House of Black. The Inner Circle “mandatory meeting” was good stuff, but also how I expected. Santana & Ortiz are basically halfway out the door, and so is Sammy. The tag match next week should definitely go PNP’s way, and they split off to go after Jurassic Express for Revolution, who knows if they win.

Tony Khan teased some new arrivals and “forbidden door” stuff, and y’know what? He delivered! Super Kliq jumps Roppongi Vice, but Switchblade helps out! We definitely need more Bullet Club in AEW, as we really only got Kenta to this point. Obviously, COVID is in the way of a lot of that, but what a great way to add dimension to the story developing within The Elite. And then KEITH LEE shows up and hell yes, he is in the Face of the Revolution match. I wanted Wardlow to win that, get the TNT title and clobber MJF with it in his Face turn, but maybe All E-LEE-TE Wrestling is the way to go, because Keith Lee definitely deserves the spotlight.

And WOW that main event. Texas Deathmatch just by name implies it’s going to be brutal, but this was something else. This even outdid some of the “Unsanctioned” Lights Out matches we’ve seen. It was incredibly clever for Lambert to take away the top rope so Hangman couldn’t do Buckshots over and over, but then also for Hangman to find a way around that and that to be the winning move. Hangman’s had one of the more competitive and literally bloody reigns for an AEW World Champion, that’s gotta earn him some points with people. But of course, Cole gets his moment at the end handing the belt to Hangman, that could make for one hell of a match at Revolution.

My Score: 9.2/10

Mariah sobs as she says this is Toni’s fault. “You never did know how to write an ending, did you? So I guess I’m going to write one for you. And I am gonna write it… in your own blood! This is our spotlight! This is our moment! Let’s be stars together~!” The fans boo but Mariah tells Toni that at Revolution, they’ll have a Hollywood ending! Mariah mocks the close-up as we fade out to black. But then who will shine with the gold once and for all?

“Last week, at Grand Slam: Australia, I did what I said I would do. And I put the dog down! Because that’s what I do with a b*tch! And if any other b*tch wants to step up, I’ll put them down, too.” The Rainmaker has issued his own warning to the roster, who will still go after his Continental Championship in spite of that?

Lexy Nair is in the ring.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Harley Cameron.” The fans cheer as the wild Aussie that almost beat Mercedes Mone in Australia makes her way out to the ring. Lexy tells Harley she had an incredible showing at Grand Slam. It wasn’t the outcome she hoped for, but Harley had everyone behind her. Harley says she wants to tell us a story about a little girl. A little blonde girl. A little blonde girl from Australia. Yes, a little blonde girl from Australia with big… dreams. She loved to sing, she loved to dance, and she loved puppets. But more than anything, she loved WRESTLING! Every single week, that little girl would sit with her grandmother and watch TV.

The little girl would turn to her grandmother and asks, “Grandmama… One day, I will go to America! One day, I will become a wrestler! One day, I will make you proud, my country proud, and myself proud!” The fans cheer that! Harley asks Lexy if she knows who that little girl was. Who who who? That little girl… was her neighbor, Suzette Dickinson. The fans cheer for “Suzette! Suzette!” Harley doesn’t know what happened to Suzette, but Harley took that dream and she ran with it! And now, Grand Slam: Australia was only the beginning! Harley will NOT stop! In fact, she won’t stop until every single person knows what it feels like to FEEL THE WRATH!!

The fans are all fired up for Harley as she throws her jacket around, then she hugs Lexy! Harley is more than ready to try again, when and where will she have her time to shine?

 

Gabe Kidd VS The Butcher!

The NJPW Strong Openweight Champion is here, and he’s a Mad Man, y’know! But is he about to learn he’s just crumbs in AEW? Or will this War Dog butcher The Butcher?

The fans fire up, and Butcher brings Gabe around. “Let’s take his head off!” But Gabe ducks the lariat to EXPLODER to the floor! Gabe calls out Shibata and Kenny Omega, “None of you lot can touch me!” Gabe storms around, refreshes the count, then runs up on Butcher! LARIAT! Butcher goes right down, Gabe slides back in.

Gabe sits cross-legged while he waits on the count. Butcher rises at 6 of 10, rolls in at 8, but Gabe is right on him with stomps! Gabe CHOKES Butcher on the ropes, lets off as the ref counts, and Gabe tells the ref to watch himself. But Butcher ROCKS Gabe! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Butcher ROCKS Gabe again and again, then powers up! The fans cheer, Gabe dodges, but then Butcher dodges! COMEBACKER from Gabe takes Butcher down! Gabe hauls Butcher up, “I’m a MAD MAN, y’know!” PILEDRIVER! Cover, Gabe wins!

Winner: Gabe Kidd, by pinfall

For those who didn’t know, that’s why Gabe is NJPW Strong! But then he beats down on Butcher just because! Could this be why Don Callis is scouting Gabe? Will Gabe even care? Well, speaking of…

Backstage interview with Don Callis & Kyle Fletcher.

Lexy Nair is with the head of the family and his Protostar to bring up Grand Slam. Kyle stops her there, and says she must want to talk about he got booed in his home country, right? No, she was going to say how- How he had a fantastic showing but didn’t quite the job done? No…! She was going to say that we saw Ospreay challenge Kyle to a Steel Cage match for Revolution. Oh, that’s what she wants, huh? An answer to the challenge? Y-Yes… Callis says hold on, how about we talk about what the Family wants first. Callis wants Lexy and AEW to stop gaslighting them with these questions! Stop trying to get them in trouble!

Lexy is trying to get in Kyle’s head! That is not a place Lexy nor Ospreay want to be. Ospreay, as talented as you are, you are equally mentally deficient to think that for one second it is in your best interest to get inside a cage with a man who tried to cripple you and take you out of pro-wrestling! A man who is 6’4″, 235 pounds! A man who is bigger, stronger, and faster than Ospreay! They will use the steel cage like a veg-o-matic on Ospreay’s face! How is that for gaslighting? Callis needs therapy now after this interview. Kyle tells Ospreay that all he has done for years is take, take, and take from Kyle! At Revolution, it ends!

Ospreay wants Kyle in the cage? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! The Aussie Arrow and the Aerial Assassin will go around one more time, but who will survive inside the steel?

 

Julia Hart VS Queen Aminata!

The Princess of the Dark Throne steps up for the Hounds of Hell, but she’s up against the One True African Queen! Both are chasing the crown, who will take one step closer to that moment?

The bell rings, the fans cheer, and the two stare down. Julia and Aminata step up, circle, and tie up. Julia headlocks, grinds the hold, but Aminata slips out the back. Aminata steps over, gives the twerk attack, then wrenches. Julia rolls, wrenches, and YANKS the arm! And YANKS, and YANKS! Julia wristlocks but Aminata slips through, spins Julia around, then hits a headlock takeover. Aminata grinds Julia down, the fans rally, and Julia rolls to a cover! TWO!! Aminata escapes just in time, and the two reset. The fans duel, the two tie up again, and Aminata waistlocks. Julia victory rolls, TWO!

Aminata slips around Julia, snapmares her, and KICKS her in the back! Aminata runs, PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up and Julia sputters. Aminata whips Julia to a corner, then runs up to ROCK her! Aminata DOUBLE CHOPS, the fans “WOO~!” and Aminata says hold on, one more time. But Julia dodges to CHOP, CHOP, and ROCK Aminata! Julia whips corner to corner, LARIATS, then runs side to side for an ELBOW! Julia wrenches Aminata and THROWS her down! Julia DRIBBLES Aminata off the mat, then lets off as the ref counts. Cover, ONE!! Aminata is tougher than that, but Julia CLUBS her while Collision goes picture in picture.

Julia CLUBS away on Aminata more, but Aminata fires body shots. Julia KNEES low, CLUBS Aminata down, then clamps on with a chinlock. Aminata endures, fights around, but Julia keeps her grounded. Aminata fights up, fires body shots, and she rolls Julia up! TWO, but Aminata reels Julia in! FISHERMAN- NO, Julia fires body shots! Julia snap suplexes, then covers, TWO! Julia puts Aminata on ropes to CHOKE her! The ref counts, Julia lets off, and she kicks Aminata out of the ring. Julia waits while Aminata catches her breath and the ring count climbs. Aminata storms up but so does Julia, so Aminata backs up.

The ref has Julia stay back so Aminata can get in. Aminata rolls in, but Julia kicks her low! Julia CLUBS away, then fires a flurry of forearms! Aminata ROCKS Julia back! And ROCKS her again! The forearms go back and forth, but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns, Aminata kicks low but Julia ROCKS her in return! Julia runs, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Aminata brings Julia back up, snap suplexes, and then she storms up to BOOT Julia! Julia wobbles, Aminata snap suplexes again! The fans fire up as Aminata brings Julia up again. Snap suplex number three! The fans cheer, Aminata brings Julia up again, and then FISHERMAN SCREWS! The fans rally up, Aminata feeds off that energy, and she sees Julia in the corner. Aminata runs side to side, BOOT WASH! Aminata drags Julia to the cover, TWO!! Julia survives but Aminata is rather amused.

Aminata covers again, TWO! Aminata drags Julia to a high stack, TWO!! Aminata is getting annoyed now, and she Alabama Lifts, only for Julia to sunset flip! TWO, and Julia SUPERKICKS! Aminata wobbles, Julia runs, and Julia FLYING FOREARMS! Cover, TWO! Julia keeps Aminata down, drags her to a drop zone, and she stomps away! Julia goes up the corner, for a MOONSAULT into boots! Aminata has Julia for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Julia sits up, Aminata has her again, GERMAN SUPLEX! Aminata looms over Julia, but Julia rises again. Aminata grins and says one more. GERMAN- NO, Julia fights by hooking legs!

Julia fires elbows again and again, then runs, but into a scoop! Julia tilt-o-whirls through for an IRON OCTOPUS! Aminata TAPS, Julia wins!

Winner: Julia Hart, by submission

Julia endured all that damage and found a way to drag Aminata down! Will the Hart always win in AEW?

 

Brian Cage & Lance Archer VS ???

The Murder Machines have called out the Hurt Syndicate for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, but wait, they’re dragging their opponents out to the ring! Brian Cage RAMS into ? over and over in the corner, and Archer LARIATS ? in the corner! Archer runs corner to corner to ELBOW him! And then he runs to ELBOW him again! The fans fire up while Cage stomps away his guy out of the ring. Archer puts the guy in red up top, then lifts him for the BLACKOUT BOMB! Cage gets his guy in blue for the DEADLIFT SUPERPLEX! And then Cage deadlifts that guy just so he and Archer can BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO!

That’s not the end, though! Cage lifts the guy in red, Archer adds his choke grip, MURDER BOMB!! High stack, Murder Machines win!

Winners: Brian Cage

Cage grabs a mic to call out the Hurt Syndicate again! They like to hurt people? Well, hopefully they enjoyed watching that as much as Cage & Archer enjoyed doing that! Because this is what the Murder Machines will do to the Syndicate! Archer says they’re just getting started! They’ll do this anywhere and anytime! Because in the end, #EverybodyDies! Wait, here comes the Hurt Syndicate! Montel Vontavious Porter leads the way for Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, and he has a mic to say, “Pardon me, perhaps my designer shades are obstructing my vision, but I don’t see any championship gold on either one of your waists.

“So who they hell do you think you are, calling out the Hurt Syndicate?” Archer says they’re the Murder Machines, that’s who! MVP tells Lashley to stand down, and then security steps in between both teams. MVP says yes, they saw what they did. Archer did the same thing he’s done for years: beating up a couple of inexperienced locals, hoping for an opportunity. That’s supposed to make an impression? Take yourself more seriously, and take THEM a lot more seriously. Also, they heard about the whole dictating the time and the place. But in the immortal words of Freddy Mercury, “We are the champions.”

Therefore, the Syndicate dictates the time and the place. But MVP is feeling generous, so he’ll do them a favor. Instead of setting these dangerous individuals loose on the Murder Machines now, how about next week, Archer & Cage beat a real team? Then they can talk championship business. The challenge has been issued, but will Archer & Cage take down whatever team they have to in order to have their shot?

 

Lio Rush & Action Andretti speak.

“You might know our names. But do you know who we are? Held back by our past, fueled by our present. Call us crazy. Call us ruthless. Call us unhinged. Call us… Cru.” The Cru is ready to roll, will they soon rule over AEW?

 

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite last Wednesday.

Kris Statlander thanked Thunder Rosa for the save against Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne. But next time these b*tches laugh in their faces, let’s just swing on ’em. Rosa says oh she’ll swing on ’em. Will the Superbad Girl & Megasus regret getting on the bad side of The Galaxy’s Greatest & La Mera Mera?

 

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS Daniel Garcia & 2Point0!

Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac made it through The Undisputed Kingdom, but they still have plenty of enemies to deal with. Red Death, Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange want revenge on top of the gold, will they have it all? Or will no one stop The Swiss Cyborg, The Decoder & The Bastard?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who is truly the best trio in AEW!

The trios sort out and Yuta starts against Angelo Parker. The bell rings and Parker DROPKICKS Yuta! Parker whips, then ELBOWS Yuta, then he hurries to snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Yuta stays in this but Parker facelocks. Yuta powers Parker to the corner, tag to Claudio, and they mug Parker. Claudio suplexes Parker, Parker slips free, but Claudio storms up. Parker fires body shots. Claudio shoves, only for Parker to duck ‘n’ dodge and- POP UP UPPERCUT! Cover, Garcia breaks it! The fans cheer, Garcia and Yuta talk trash, but the ref has Garcia back off. Claudio scoops Parker to SLAM him down!

Claudio TOSSES Garcia out, but Parker rolls Claudio up! TWO, and Claudio UPPERCUTS Parker down! The fans boo but Claudio seethes. Claudio drags Parker to the corner, tags Pac, and Pac stomps away on Parker. The fans taunt Yuta, Pac taunts Garcia & Menard, then Pac bumps Parker off buckles. Pac wrenches Parker, whips corner to corner hard, and Parker drops to his knees. The fans boo, Pac soaks up the heat, and Pac storms up on Parker.

Pac brings Parker over, the fans chant, “He’s A Bastard!” Pac CHOKES Parker, lets off, and Yuta gets a cheap shot DROPKICK! The fans boo but Pac then stands on Parker’s head! The ref counts, Pac steps off, and Pac kicks Parker around. Tag to Yuta, Phoenix chants, “We Hate Yuta!” Yuta doesn’t care, and he just CHOPS Parker! Parker fires forearms on the Death Riders! He goes up and over, then sends Yuta into ropes! SNAP GERMAN! Hot tag to Menard! Pac tags in, but Daddy Magic rallies with LARIAT after LARIAT! Menard whips, ELBOWS Pac, and the fans fire up!

They go all the way to TEN, so that’s 30 total! The fans fire up while Yuta and Claudio flop out of the ring. Garcia and 2Point0 put the fists up, and they do the dance! Then things go to the outside while Collision goes picture in picture.

Pac SMACKS Menard off the apron! The ref has Claudio & Yuta stay back, but Pac slides into the ring. Pac talks with the ref, and that lets Claudio THROW Menard into railing! And then DUMP him over! Garcia hurries to coach Menard up, but the ring count begins. Menard drags himself up and over, flops back down, then crawls to the ring. Menard is in at 9! Pac seethes but he clamps on with a facelock. Pac grinds Menard down but the fans rally up. Menard fights to his feet, but Pac SOBATS! Pac tells fans to hush, then he tags Claudio. Pac digs his boots in, the ref counts, so Pac steps off. Claudio gives scuffing kicks and taunts Menard.

Menard rises, Claudio kicks at him more and more, but Menard ROCKS Claudio! And CHOPS! And repeat! Claudio whips Menard away, but Collision goes to break!

Collision returns as Claudio has Menard in a chinlock. The fans rally, and Menard fights up, to then JAWBREAKER free! Yuta tags in, the fans boo, but Yuta drags Menard away from his corner. Yuta clamps on a chinlock and he leans on the hold. “Yuta Sucks! Yuta Sucks!” Menard fights up, and he JAWBREAKERS free again! But Yuta DROPKICKS him down! Yuta tags Pac, then they mug Menard. Pac stomps away on Menard, the fans boo, but Pac paces around Menard. Pac stomps Menard down, but Menard goes to the ropes. The fans rally, Menard rises, and Menard CHOPS!

They do the same on Pac, but Claudio UPPERCUTS Parker outta the air! The fans rally, but Pac puts on the BRUTALIZER!! Parker TAPS, Death Riders win!

Winners: The Death Riders, by submission (still AEW World Trios Champions)

But the fighting isn’t over! Pac holds onto Parker, Garcia crawls in, but he gets mugged by Claudio & Yuta! The ref tells Pac to stop, but here comes The Undisputed Kingdom! They want their own payback, and they step right up to The Death Riders! The brawl is on and the fans fire up! Garcia & Menard hep, this is 5v3! The Kingdom LARIAT The Death Riders out, and now Garcia stares down with Cole. The fans like the look of this. Pac stands up, into a SUPERKICK! Kyle & Roddy give Pac SWEEP THE LEG!! The Death Riders retreat, only for Moxley & Marina to storm their way out! The Maniac is pissed about what happened to Pac, but COPE IS HERE!!

The fans fire up as The Rated R Superstar storms out here, with two chairs! The Kingdom, Garcia & 2Point0 dare Moxley and the rest to come on back, but they stay far away! Cope puts Pac’s head on one chair, then wields the other, CON-CHAIR-TO!! The fans want that again, so Cope obliges. CON-CHAIR-TO again!! Cope promised to take out the pawns, and that’s one down! Will Cope be able to eliminate the others before we reach Revolution?

 

Backstage interview with The Vendetta.

Lexy is with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and brings up their issue with Harley Cameron. Taya says they have actually taken issue with Lexy! Lexy said that “everyone” was behind Harley, but Taya can think of two dangerous and sophisticated women who were not. Deonna says they’ll admit, Harley is talented. Harley can sing, rap, do ventriloquism, is funny and tells jokes. But when it comes to the wrestling ring, Harley is not fooling anyone. Harley got a fluke win over Taya, but she has not met the entire Vendetta. And what happened at Grand Slam? Harley LOST! And losers lose. That means Harley is at the back of the line.

So Harley has a choice: move, or be moved. Because The Vendetta has business to take care of. Lexy, MOVE. Lexy runs off, Taya & Deonna head out, but what will Harley choose to do?

 

Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???

Despite being 0-2 at his own challenge, Platinum Max is back again, and he introduces himself as The Best Wrestler Alive. He has been doing open challenges every week, and last week, he was disrespected by “Hangperson” Adam Page! The fans chant for “COWBOY SH*T!” but Caster tells them to relax. “Hangperson” attacked before the bell, chased Caster around the arena before he was ready, and so whoever answers tonight’s challenge, Caster implores them to get in this ring, look him in the eye, and shake his hand like a man. But they won’t, because everyone in AEW is afraid of Platinum Max!

“So let’s see who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster waits on his opponent, and it’s… BRODY KING! The fans fire up and Caster freaks out! Julia had her win earlier, will the Hounds of Hell get another win on the night? Caster reluctantly returns to the ring, the fans bark, and the bell sounds. Brody wants to shake hands, so Caster shakes his hand. But then Brody crushes Caster’s hand! Caster freaks out, fires a shot, but Brody CHOPS him down! Brody smirk, runs up, but Caster dodges! Caster dropkicks the legs out, then he clamps on a headlock. The fans rally for Brody and Brody headscissors.

Caster moves around, hops around, headstands, and bridges, but Brody holds on tight! The fans cheer as Brody CHOPS Caster again! Caster sputters and staggers, but into a BACKDROP from Brody! Caster flounders to a corner, the fans bark again, and Brody runs up to SPLASH! The barking continues, and Brody roars before he CANNONBALLS! Brody drags Caster to a cover, Brody wins!

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall

Well, at least Caster got his handshake… But this makes 0-3, is Caster going to realize his “Best Wrestler Alive” claim might be exaggeration?

 

Backstage interview with The Outrunners.

Lexy is with Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd, and she congratulates them on their big win during ROH Global Wars last week. That begs the question, though: What’s next? Truth says nothing succeeds like success! He can’t even tell us the feeling when the entire country of Australia was cheering them as they chopped down The Learning Tree! Tell ’em, Turb! Turbo says that he’s been thinking, too, what is next? How can they top things? How can they go bigger and better? But then Hurt Syndicate walks through, and The Outrunners flag them down. Truth & Turbo heard about that challenge over Murder Machines VS “a real team,” for a shot at the tag titles.

So what if The Outrunners was the team to beat the Murder Machines? What then? MVP looks to his associates, and then says okay, here’s some good news and some bad news. Okay, okay! MVP says the good news is: If Outrunners do win, then they get the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. Nice! That’s what they’re talking about! The bad news is… If they beat the Murder Machines, it’s a tag title match with Lashley & Shelton. Good luck, boys. The Outrunners misunderstand and think this is a win-win, but will it just end up a lose-lose when Cage & Archer are through with them?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

It seems Harley will NOT be moved, as she is stepping up to The Virtuosa! Harley VS Deonna 1v1 is happening, but will Harley go 2-0 against The Vendetta? Plus, a bounty has been put out on Will Ospreay! And while it isn’t hard to guess who did it, it’s the Bad Apple that wants to collect! Will Bryan Keith take out Ospreay before Revolution? Or will the Aerial Assassin strike first?

 

ROH World Championship: Chris Jericho VS Bandido!

Speaking of that Global Wars match, not only did The Learning Tree lose, but Jericho himself was pinned by The Most Wanted! This title match has been a long time coming, but will The Nueve still be the Nueve? Or will Bandido bring honor back to ROH?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and it’s time to see who reigns as El Campeon de Honor!

The bell rings, the fans are all behind Bandido, but Jericho gets on the corner. The fans boo Jericho, but then Bandido climbs up. The fans cheer Bandido! Jericho is annoyed by that, but Bandido feeds off that energy. The Code of Honor is finally offered by Bandido, and Jericho reluctantly takes it. Both men get in the other’s face, there’s a bit of trash talk, but then Bandido doesn’t let Jericho back up. Bandido aims his finger gun and says he’s got a shot with Jericho’s name on it. But then Jericho doesn’t let Bandido back up, and he pokes Bandido in the eyes! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Jericho ROCKS and CHOPS!

Jericho headlocks, Bandido powers up and out, but Jericho runs him over! Jericho soaks up the heat, then keeps moving. Bandido is up, hurdles, then drops. MOHNEKY FLIP! Bandido then LARIATS and the fans fire up! Jericho kicks low, CHOPS again, then whips. Bandido handsprings, Jericho dodges, but Bandido aims the finger gun. Jericho runs up, Bandido TOSSES Jericho out, then DIVES! Direct hit into the railing and Phoenix fires up! Bandido is back in the ring, he builds speed and FLIES! Down goes Jericho! Phoenix fires up with Bandido again, and then Bandido kicks Jericho. Bandido puts Jericho in the ring, then aims from the apron.

Bandido springboards and- CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Jericho snarls but Bandido is still in this. Jericho slaps Bandido around, taunts him, then drags Bandido up. Fans chant “Please Retire!” Jericho CHOPS, whips, then runs up to LARIAT in the corner! Jericho fires LARIAT after LARIAT, but only gets 4 before Bandido flops down. Jericho drags Bandido up to the top rope, CHOPS again, then climbs. Jericho pretends he can’t hear the fans, then he rains down fists! Jericho goes NUEVE~, then TEN! “Retire this!” SUPER STEINER! Bandido flounders, fans are torn because that is still impressive, and Jericho revels in it all the same.

Bandido goes to the apron, Jericho goes out to fetch him, and Jericho CLUBS Bandido. Jericho reels Bandido in, but Bandido fights the bomb! Jericho CLUBS away, Bandido fires body shots, then Bandido CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Jericho CHOPS back! Jericho fires forearms now, then gets some space. Jericho runs up, but into a RANA! Bandido sends Jericho to the floor! The fans fire up while both men are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Bandido and Jericho slowly stir, and luckily ROH rules means a 20 count. Bandido and Jericho are still down past 10, then finally sit up at 15. We hit 17, 18, and both men lunge in at 19! The match continues as both men crawl towards each other. They go forehead to forehead, then rise up for Jericho to fire a forearm! Bandido gives that back, so Jericho fires another! The forearms go back and forth, they gain speed, and they stand up to fire a flurry! Bandido fires a flurry, but then DOUBLE FOREARMS take both men down! Jericho goes to ropes, Bandido rises at center, and Collision returns to single picture.

Bandido eggs Jericho on, but Jericho CHOPS! Bandido CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS again, and repeat! The fans “WOO~” with every CHOP, but Jericho CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Jericho CHOPS Bandido on the back! Jericho soaks up the cheers and jeers, then he CHOPS! Bandido CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, then Bandido fires a flurry of CHOPS! Jericho CLAWS the eyes! Jericho whips, Bandido reverses then runs up, but Jericho puts him on the apron! Bandido GAMANGIRIS, then he goes up the corner! TORNILLO CROSSBODY! The fans fire up and Bandido hauls Jericho up, atomic FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!

Jericho stays in this but Bandido runs, only for Jericho to fireman’s carry! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Bandido survives and Jericho is annoyed. Jericho SLAPS Bandido, then he drags Bandido up. Jericho CHOPS, whips, but Bandido KICKS Jericho! Bandido then dodges the lariat to SUPERKICK! Bandido runs, into a BOOT! Jericho and Bandido DOUBLE HAYMAKER, and both men fall again! The fans fire up and Jericho slowly sits up. But then Bandido sits up like a Deadman! Both men are now back to back, and this time, we’re gonna get a real showdown! They take their ten paces and are in the corners!

The fans fire up, both men run up, but Bandido scoops Jericho to a torture rack! GO TO- NO, Jericho blocks the leg to turn Bandido over! WALLS OF JERICHO!! Bandido endures, claws at the mat, and the fans rally as hard as they can! Bandido powers up, fights his way forward, and he has the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Jericho lets go and argues with Aubrey, and then throws a fit. Bandido rises, Jericho runs in, but Bandido gorilla presses! And with one arm! Then the SLAM! The fans are thunderous as Bandido goes up, up, and Latino Heat for the FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TWO?!? Jericho survives but fans cheer for “EDDIE! EDDIE!”

Bandido is frustrated, but Jericho knew Eddie well. Bandido keeps the Latino Heat going as he kicks Jericho. Then Bandido runs, but into a DROPKICK! Bandido tumbles to the apron, Jericho runs, triangle jump- NO, Bandido jumps up and SUNSET FLIP BOMBS him out of it! Cover, TWO!??! “This is Awesome!” as Bandido sits Jericho up. Bandido feeds off that energy and he whips Jericho. Jericho grabs ropes, avoids the dropkick, and he LIONSAULTS! Cover, TWO!! Bandido stays in this and Jericho is beside himself! Jericho goes for Bandido, Bandido cradles him! TWO!! Jericho escapes with nanoseconds to spare!

Jericho runs up, goes up,” Hi, Guys~!” RANA! Cover, TWO! Jericho snarls as his “Hi Spot” didn’t finish this. But then Jericho goes up a corner for a high spot! Only for Bandido to GAMANGIRI! Bandido climbs up, fires hands, then goes to the very top! Bandido clinches Jericho, scoops him, MOONSAULT AND BATTERY!!! The fans are thunderously losing their minds, Bandido crawls to the cover, TWO?!?! Bandido is too tired to even be shocked, and he drags Jericho back up. Gut wrench, Canadian Rack, then the flip, BUENAS NOCHES! But Jericho ends up on ropes, so Bandido plays the hot hand! BLACKJACK 21- VICTORY ROLL!! JERICHO WINS!!!

Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall (still ROH World Champion)

Jericho doesn’t let Bandido get him with the same move a second time, and he is still on top of ROH! Will anyone ever take that gold away from The Learning Tree?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision here, even for being recorded after Dynamite on Wednesday. Jericho VS Bandido was a great main event, but I had a feeling Jericho would retain the title. It’s the conundrum of having Jericho be the ROH World Champion again. I know they want ROH to get back on cable and they want to use a recognizable name to sell networks on, but I just don’t think it happens even with Jericho. And the saddest thing is, Bandido is 0-2 against Jericho when he really shouldn’t be.

At least the night opened with a great move. Mariah VS Toni part 3 was inevitable, so Mariah attacking Toni while being this disheveled psycho was a great move. “The Hollywood Ending” is going to be great, maybe even more violent than anything we’ve seen from these two yet. Hologram VS Mortos was the real main event, that match was awesome and just because these two wanted to bust out everything they had for Hologram’s first match back. Great win for Hologram, great save from Komander, and I’m sure they’ll have a great tag match with LFI.

Great stuff from Gabe VS Butcher, mostly because Gabe showed his power level by dominating Butcher and never really being in trouble. Don Callis scouting him is interesting, but he could think of recruiting Gabe to the Family over how Gabe could want a rematch with Kenny Omega. And then good promo from Callis & Kyle to accept the Steel Cage Match challenge, that’ll be great stuff. Cage & Archer of course destroyed Team Sky High, Mondo Rox & Robbie Lit, but the main thing is that now we have a #1 contenders match: Murder Machines VS Outrunners. Either choice is good for facing Hurt Syndicate, but it seems odd that Outrunners would get fed to either Murder Machines or Hurt Syndicate with how hot they’re running.

On the flip side, Lio & Action have a promo again after being gone for weeks and letting their story with Top Flight go cold. Their team name of “The Cru” is interesting. To be fair, I was calling the faction they had with Top Flight & Leila Grey “Top Flight Crew” and so now they’ve just split that name. But can two men really be a “crew” and not just a duo? Maybe they add a person or two? Either way, they just need to finish their feud with Top Flight once and for all. Though that seems to be something AEW rarely does. Serena Deeb really should’ve shown up after Aminata’s loss to keep that story alive, it’s barely even going.

Julia VS Aminata was a good match, and I suppose Julia showing toughness in that win is fine, but it felt dragged out. On the other hand, Brody deals with Caster quickly, which is perfect for the story. At a certain point, Bowens should answer the Open Challenge, and they should also put that certificate of “Best Wrestler Alive” on the line. Or at least have Bowens rip it up. Okada had a good promo to talk trash on Buddy while also talking trash on everyone else. I wouldn’t mind seeing Brody call out Okada in return and they have a match for Revolution. Harley had a great promo, and Vendetta had a good response. Harley VS Deonna will be great stuff, I wonder if Harley gets an ally against The Vendetta to escalate the story.

Um… Was that promo from Kris and Rosa to explain why Rosa didn’t take a swing? Or to cover for how things didn’t really make sense live on Dynamite? I mean, obviously they had to cover for it, that was really a janky moment. But hopefully they get us to Kris & Rosa VS Ford & Megan as fast as they can to put that story to rest and send someone towards a title match.

I do appreciate they aren’t wasting time in Cope going after the Death Riders like he promised on Wednesday. Great Trios title match, but I figured 2Point0 was losing. The Undisputed Kingdom showing up to make the save was a natural move, and they of course teased Daniel Garcia VS Adam Cole for the TNT Championship. Cope hitting Pac with the Con-Chair-to twice was some good stuff, and you can bet the same thing or similar is in store for the rest. And as for Marina, that’s perfect for bringing Willow into the story, Willow can handle Marina on behalf of Cope.

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

MJF is here!

Phoenix is a bit torn over the Scumbag opening the night, but he and the Cowboy are set to have their face to face, with a strict No Physicality Order in effect. As such, Hangman Page makes his entrance next. The fans are ready for some #CowboyS*it as the two stare down from opposite corners. MJF throws his gum at the fans, which they boo, and then he grabs himself a mic. “I don’t speak Poor, I’m talking, thanks. The year was 2019. The first-ever event in the history of this event was Double Or Nothing. The first match in the history of this company was the Casino Battle Royal. The winner would have the opportunity to go on and become the inaugural world champion.

“I had the match won. It was the biggest opportunity of my life, and you screwed me. You cheap shotted me like a gutless little worm. So you know what I did? I had to scratch and claw my way back to the top. And I did so by beating some of the biggest names professional wrestling has to offer. Think of your favorite wrestler; yeah, I beat ’em! Though, looking down at my beautiful~ Dynamite Diamond Ring, I’m struggling to remember who I beat the first time I won this bad boy. Oh, that’s right, it was you. I then proceeded to go on to become a six-time Dynamite Diamond Ring Champion.

“I main evented, headlined and won the biggest wrestling event of all time in Wembley Stadium. I am a former International Champion, the best and longest reigning AEW World Champion of all time, the greatest wrestler on God’s green Earth, and do you know why, Hangman?” Fans tell MJF to STFU but MJF says it’s because he’s Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he’s better than you, and you know it. MJF smiles and soaks up the heat from Phoenix, but then Hangman takes his turn. Why is MJF talking like Hangman doesn’t know who he is? Hangman knows exactly who MJF is and what MJF has done.

MJF is 28 years old, and already has a history making wrestling career. Hangman will give MJF that, and MJF should be proud of himself. But when MJF listed all of his accomplishments, he sounded angry about them. All of that, and MJF can’t be happy. Is it because there’s something that MJF still hasn’t been able to win… from the fans? MJF tells Hangman to shut his mouth! MJF calms down, and says no, you think he cares about the fans? He doesn’t give a damn about them! The fans boo but MJF tells them to shut up! MJF thinks it’s funny that the hypocrites who is redeemable and who is not.

Hangman has had everything handed to him on a silver platter, because these shmucks woke up and just decided Hangman’s the main character? The fans cheer that! Really? A guy who drank another man’s blood? A guy who attacked innocent veterans in the locker room? A guy who stabbed a syringe through another human’s face? The guy who was low down and vile enough to burn another man’s house down to ashes? Yet HE is the good guy!? MJF mocks the cheering, and says yay~, Hangman’s the hero! Just ask the fans! To them, Hangman did nothing wrong. But these morons will chant Cowboy S*it at the top of their lungs… Oh, and there they go!

Do you feel that, Hangman? Do you feel all warm and fuzzy? Everyone loves Hangman Adam Page! But MJF has a question for him: After everything Hangman has done… Does Hangman love Hangman? Did Hangman love himself after ending the career of his mentor, Christopher Daniels? After he absolutely demolished that worthless, talentless, jobber hack? Hangman tells MJF, “Don’t you dare! Don’t you DARE! Christopher Daniels is ten times the man that you will ever be! And if I could rip out my spine and give it to him, I would do it in a heartbeat!” The fans cheer that!

Hangman says Daniels’ 32 year career, flew 100 times around the globe, and if there’s a wrestling company that mattered in their lifetime, Daniels gave a part of his life to it! He went down fighting! Fighting for his life! Daniels died a warrior’s death! Hangman knows CD, and he knows Daniels would not have had it any other way. The fans cheer that, too. Daniels took care of pro-wrestling, even when pro-wrestling didn’t take care of him. Daniels is the best of us. And men and women like Daniels is why MJF and Hangman are even in this ring, don’t you ever forget that. The fans cheer that, and they chant for “FALLEN ANGEL!”

MJF scoffs at that, but Hangman says that selflessness, self-awareness and humility of Daniels that MJF doesn’t understand. MJF doesn’t have the stomach for it. If MJF’s career ended tonight, and if he doesn’t wipe that s*it eating grin off his face, it just might… But if MJF’s career ended tonight, what would the fans say about him? Would they say MJF is a credit to their sport? To this world? Or would they say he was an opportunist and a selfish coward? A man who took every shortcut he could, chasing all the power and glory that he thought would win their admiration.

MJF asked why, after everything Hangman has done, the people care about him. Hangman will not be as arrogant to say he understands it, or to put words in their mouths, but he will speak for himself. Hangman knows what is right, he knows what is wrong, and he tells the truth about it. In five years, he’s probably lied 100 times, but never once has he lied to the fans! And if Hangman has had a problem, he has faced it head on eye-to-eye. He didn’t run from it, didn’t hide it, and everything he has had, he worked for. The AEW Tag titles, the AEW World title, and a family that through all of this stood by him unconditionally! Believe him, it was not easy!

MJF has spent five years cheating, scheming his way to the top, and anyone that stood in his way, he told them he was better than them. And Hangman hopes that for once, for MJF’s own sake, there is a small part of him that is wondering, “Is it true?” Because it’s not. Deep down, Hangman thinks MJF knows that. MJF seethes, then smirks, then laughs. MJF asks, “Are you a child?” Oh, sowwy Hangman, sowwy fans, did he not win fairsy-squarsy on his way to the top? Oh no~! Hey, newsflash, dips*its, the history books don’t give a damn how you get the job done. MJF earned everything. Can’t say the same for Hangman.

Because whether Hangman cares to admit it or not, before the doors of this company even opened, the powers at be decided they were going to prop Hangman up. He was their golden boy, their chosen one. Hangman walked in at 2019 with all the buzz and propaganda in the world. Wanna know what MJF came in with? All MJF needed was a scarf and a mic! Hangman has earned NOTHING! MJF walks better, talks better, looks better, dresses better, and IS better! Name one thing Hangman does better than MJF. NAME IT! Hangman says, “I am real.” The fans cheer that, and the mics drop. They’re face to face, but they have to remember the No Physicality Order.

MJF looks to the fans, then he says Hangman can be the main character all he wants. MJF has no problem being the bad guy. Another mic drop, and then the jackets come off! Security hurries up to the apron to tell them remember the order. Hangman dares MJF to do something, but MJF stands down. But then he SPITS at Hangman! The fans boo as we see the saliva hanging from Hangman’s hair…! Hangman bolts at MJF but MJF bolts outta the ring! MJF smirks, having turned his level headed choice into a cowardly move. Hangman DECKS security guard after security guard, then hammers away on one poor soul!

Someone pulls Hangman back, and Hangman almost swings on them, until he sees it’s Christopher Daniels! Hangman calms down, and Daniels tells Hangman this is what he was fighting for this whole time. Hangman knows who he is, so don’t listen to MJF. Understood? Hangman nods, and he heads out. When and where will The Cowboy get his hands on the Devil of AEW?

 

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.

Renee Paquette is with Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong, and notes Roddy is in the Revolution International Championship Series, facing Orange Cassidy. With the PPV around the corner, how does he expect this to shake out? Roddy shouts “ORRRANGE! Cassidy. Man, I feel like we’re gonna do this forever. We are destined to dance forever. And I get it, you’re friends with my pal over here, Mr. Kyle O’Reilly. But that’s not gonna stop me from destroying you tonight, going on to next week to beat Takeshita, and going on to Revolution to defeat Kenny Omega.”

Renee brings up the conflict of interest for Kyle with The Conglomeration, but Kyle says The Conglomeration is not so much a stable as it is a lifestyle. They love to hang, they love to conglomerate, and yeah, Orange is Kyle’s boy. But Roddy’s gonna have to break that back. Cole adds that regardless of who is friends with who, Roddy whoops Orange’s ass. And that is Undisputed. The Kingdom is ready, but will they run the Revolution? Or will things be Freshly Squeezed here tonight?

 

Six Man Tag: The Patriarchy VS The Opps!

Christian Cage has been avoiding this fight, but now he has no choice to stand alongside his “sons,” Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian against the opposition. Will Captain Charisma, The Prodigy & Mr. Superbad survive Samoa Joe, Hook & Katsuyori Shibata? Or will this be the end of The Patriarchy?

Dynamite returns and The Opps make their entrance. They’re #NeverLacking, and they even get pyro! The fans cheer, the trios sort out, and Shibata starts with Kip. The bell rings, the fans rally up, and Shibata feels things out with Kip. They knuckle lock, Kip kicks low, then Kip wrenches to a wristlock. Shibata wrenches back and he has the wristlock. Kip rolls, kips up, but Shibata trips him to a top wristlock. Kip keeps his shoulders up, fights to his feet, then slips through to hammerlock. Shibata switches that onto Kip, but Kip switches and kicks low. Kip headlocks, Shibata powers up and out, but Kip RAMS Shibata.

Shibata brushes himself off, but Kip headlocks. Shibata powers up and out, then kitchen sink knees! The fans cheer while Shibata drags Kip up. Tag to Joe, the fans really fire up, and they stand Kip on the ropes to CHOP, CHPO, and CHOP! DOUBLE MACHINE GUN CHOPS! They double whip, then trip Kip, and then Joe SENTONS! Kip sputters, Nick runs in, but Shibata trips him! And Joe SENTONS! The fans cheer, Christian is worried, but Kip tags him in! Christian steps in, stares Joe down, but then quickly tags out to Nick!

Joe CHOPS again, and the fans fire up! Joe winds up to CHOP again! Tag to Shibata and he drags Nick up, for a CHOP! Nick tries to get away but Shibata puts him back in the corner. Shibata CHOPS Nick again, and again! Tag to Hook and the fans cheer again. Nick freaks out but Hook CHOPS! And CHOPS! Nick falls, Hook tags Shibata back in, and Shibata drags Nick up to snapmare. Shibata chinlocks and he squeezes tight. Then he KICKS Nick in the back, runs, but Mother Wayne distracts the ref. Christian gets a cheap shot in! Shibata DECKS him for it! Kip DECKS Shibata, Nick BLASTS Hook, and Nick hauls Shibata up.

Nick snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Mother Shayna coaches her son, and Nick ROCKS Shibata with a haymaker. Shibata drops to a knee, Nick stays on him, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Nick brings Shibata over, tags Kip, and they mug Shibata. Kip snapmares Shibata, KNEES him in the back, then clamps onto the arms. Shibata endures, so Kip KNEES him again. Kip pulls on the arms in a motorcycle stretch, but Shibata still endures. Shibata fights up, powers around, but Kip snapmares him to rain down forearms! Kip cradles for the cover, TWO! Kip KICKS Shibata int he back, brings him up, but Shibata snap suplexes first! And then he KICKS Kip! Shibata brings Kip up, but Kip CLAWS Shibata’s eyes! Kip bumps Shibata off buckles, tags Christian, and Christian fires hands on Shibata.

Christian CHOPS, ROCKS, and repeat, then stomps Shibata down. Christian rains down more fists, then lets off as the ref counts. Christian snapmares Shibata, flexes, then ELBOWS Shibata int he head. Christian CLAWS Shibata’s eyes, pushes him down, steps on Shibata’s face, then tags Nick. They mug Shibata, then Nick puts Shibata on the ropes. Nick CHOPS, then wrenches Shibata for a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Nick brings Shibata up, brings him back to the corner, tag to Kip. They mug Shibata some more, then Kip fires forearms. Shibata DECKS Kip! Shibata kicks Kip, Kip RAMS Shibata into the corner, and Chfristian tags in.

Christian & Kip mug Shibata, then Christian puts Shibata on the apron. Chrihstian pulls Shibata through the ropes, CHOKES him, then stops to DUMP Shibata back in. Cover, TWO! Christian hurries to tag Nick back in, the mugging continues, and Nick swaggers around. Nick stands Shibata up, ROCKS him with a left, then puts him in a corner. Nick fires haymakers and body shots, then Dynamite returns to single picture. Tag to Kip, they double whip Shibata, but Shibata SPEARS Kip! Nick runs up, Shibata hits an ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up while Shibata crawls, but Kip CLOBBERS him! The fans boo but Kip rains down fists!

Kip drags Shibata up, he and Nick double whip again, but Shibata grabs ropes. Shibata BOOTS Kip, then BOOTS Nick! Shibata WRECKS Kip with a dropkick, then tag to Hook! Hook LARIATS Nick, LARIATS Kip, then gets Kip for a T-BONE PLEX! Christian runs up, into a T-BONE PLX! Hook LARIATS Christian up and out! Hook LARIATS Nick in a corner, then NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Hook stands Nick up, but Nick fights the exploder! The fans rally for Hook but Nick hooks a leg! FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Shibata BOOTS Nick! Kip MISSILE DROPKICKS Shibata!

Direct hit into Christian and the fans are thunderous! Hook has Nick in a corner, but Nick goes up an dover to victory roll, and holds ropes! TWO!! Hook escapes but Nick ROUNDHOUSES, then goes up, up, and WAYNE’S- REDRUM!! Hook as Nick, Shibata has Kip, Joe scares Christian away! The father lets his sons suffer, Nick is OUT! The Opps win!

Winners: The Opps, by submission

Joe, Shibata and Hook stand tall while Christian clings to his Casino Gauntlet contract. Will the AEW World Championship be all that matters to The Patriarch?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Revolution!

After everything said and done between them, MJF and Hangman Page will have their grudge match! Who will win in this Battle Los Angeles?

 

Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.

Renee is with the ROH World Champion and brings up how Jericho vowed to show Bryan Keith how it was done. He went to confront Bandido, but uh, did he accomplish what he set out to do given he just got pinned by Bandido at ROH Global Wars? Jericho says Renee should wipe that smirk off her face. What makes her think she can talk to Jericho like that? Renee isn’t sure what he’s getting at, but Jericho asks what makes her think he can’t have her thrown out of the building? He can, y’know! If not for him, Renee wouldn’t have a job. No one in AEW would have a job if not for him!

The truth is: No Chris Jericho, no AEW! That is a fact, not pro-wrestling rhetoric! Yet instead of getting treated with respect like the living legend he is, he gets nothing but vitriol and disrespect. Why is that? Is he too nice? Maybe the Learning Tree needs to give a history lesson. Jericho is The Nueve, that means nine in Spanish. As in a nine-time world champion, in multiple companies and multiple countries. Jericho is the guy walking down the street in Brisbane just a few days ago, and fans were asking to take pictures. Then Bandido is the guy you hand the camera to so he can take their picture.

Jericho tells Bandido got his biggest win ever, congrats. Jericho will give Bandido his chance at the ROH World Championship this Saturday on Collision. The bounty no longer means anything. Bandido gets his chance to beat Jericho, but Jericho gets his chance to prove that everyone is too comfortable around Chris EFFIN’ Jericho! Jericho storms off, but will he regret gambling with The Most Wanted?

 

Street Fight: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS “Big Bill” Morrissey!

Speaking of grudge matches, these two have gone back and forth with their brawling! They’ve fought backstage, fought in the parking lot, and even took this fight to Australia over the weekend with Global Wars! But it’s gotta end somehow! Will the Book of Hobbs’s next chapter have him chopping down a Redwood? Or will the skyscraper from New York stand tall over the Powerhouse from California?

Hobbs makes his entrance first, then he storms up on Bill during his entrance, only for Bill to BOOT him from over the top rope! The bell rings, fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Bill storms out after Hobbs. Bill CLUBS away on Hobbs, then brings him into the crowd! Hobbs fires a body shot, sends him into a guard rail, then takes a fan’s beer can to SMASH Bill in the face! Bill ELBOWS back, UPPERCUTS, then UPPERCUTS again! Bill HAMMERS away on Hobbs, then talks smack on the fans. Bill ROCKS Hobbs, but Hobbs ROCKS Bill! The haymakers go back and forth, and Hobbs brings Bill around to CLUB away!

The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” again, and Hobbs pushes Bill to ringside. Hobbs LARIATS Bill over railing! The fans fire up, Hobbs high-fives a few, then he goes to get Bill on his feet. Hobbs RAMS Bill into railing, revels in the M”EAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and then runs up to CLOBBER Bill! Bill slumps over the railing, but Hobbs gets space. Hobbs runs in, but Bill CHUCKS a sound mixer!? Hobbs falls, clutching his leg, but Bill takes the keyboard to SMACK Hobbs on the back! Fans chant “OVER HERE! OVER HERE!” in hopes the action heads their way. Bill goes looking under the ring, and he brings out a monkey wrench!?

Bill winds up, but Hobbs dodges! Wrench hits steel steps, but Bill takes aim again. Hobbs dodges and the wrench hits railing! Bill still tries, but Hobbs ducks and the wrench hits POST! That’s strike three and Bill is disarmed of the wrench! Hobbs grabs a chair to JAM Bill up! And SMACK him on the back! Now that was a base hit! The fans want more, so Hobbs SMACKS Bill again! The fans fire up and Hobbs brings Bill up. But Bill CRAKS Hobbs with the monkey wrench!! Bill gets his own base hit, the ref has a standing count on Hobbs, but the fans want tables. Bill tells them STFU and shove it! The fans boo but Hobbs is up at 9.5 of 10!

Bill brings steel steps around, then he goes back for Hobbs. Hobbs is busted open, but Bill BOOTS him right back down! Bill drags Hobbs over, then CHOKE SLAMS him on the steel steps! Hobbs sputters, the fans boo, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Bill enjoys seeing Hobbs’s blood on him, and even uses it like lipstick! Bill swaggers like Jagger, tells the fans to shove it, then Bryan Keith appears! Keith and Bill high-five, then they work together to haul the other steel steps around. They get it onto the stage, then they bring out more plunder from under the ring. Oh, look! A table! They set that in the ring while Hobbs sputters to his feet. Dynamite returns to single picture while Bill sets up the table. The fans rally for Hobbs as he leans against the apron. Bill stands the table up in a corner, but Hobbs drags himself into the ring. Hobbs has the trash can, and he SMASHES it on Bill’s face!

The fans fire up as Hobbs winds up again, and he SMASHES Bill again! Bill flounders, Hobbs rips his shirt away, and the fans fire up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs storms up on Bill, scoops him, but Keith is in! Hobbs drops Bill to PUNCH the chair! Keith panics, apologizes, but Hobbs CHOKE SLAMS him through the table! The fans fire up again, but Bill BOOTS Hobbs again! Hobbs tumbles to the ramp, Bill goes out after him, and fans chant “MEAT FOREVER!” Hobbs scoops Bill!? And POWERSLAMS him on the ramp! Hobbs then looks around, and he finds Bill’s backpack. Hobbs CLOBBERS Bill with the backpack!

Hobbs grins, and he dumps out the BRICKS that were inside! Hobbs then stalks Bill to the stage, where Bill put the steel steps! Hobbs ROCKS Bill with a right, ROCKS him again, and Bill is also busted open! The fans fire up as Hobbs fires off punch after punch! Hobbs stands Bill up to ROCK him, but Bill UPPERCUTS! Hobbs ROCKS Bill, Bill UPPERCUTS Hobbs, repeat! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs wobbles, but he kicks low! Hobbs brings Bill over, SMACKS him off the steel steps, and then DRIBBLES him off it! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs winds up to SMACK Bill off the steps again!

The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes up the steps, and he drags Bill up to join him! Hobbs pops Bill up, to  SPINEBUSTER down through barbed-wire tables!! The fans are thunderous and losing their mind! The count begins, Bill is still down at 5, just struggling to get out of the barbed wire! We hit TEN, Hobbs wins!!

Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by TKO

The fans cheer as Hobbs is the Last Big Meaty Man Standing! Will this vindication be more than enough for the Book of Hobbs to turn the page?

 

Backstage interview Brian Cage & Lance Archer.

Renee is now with The Don Callis Family’s Murder Machines, and brings up how they upstaged the Hurt Syndicate last week. That was a rather bold statement. Brian says yeah, bold indeed. But take a look at them! It is easy for them to do! The Murderhawk and The Machine have something to say, because they have business with the Hurt Syndicate. But big surprise, they’re nowhere to be found. Archer says word is, Hurt Syndicate will be at Collision. So if they wanna put on their big boy pants, the Hurt Syndicate can talk with the Murder Machines about those AEW World Tag Team Championships.

But in the end, Cage & Archer will take them, and #EverybodyDies. Then will MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin accept the challenge this close to Revolution?

 

BREAKING NEWS for AEW in Phoenix!

Phoenix’s own Justin Roberts tells the fans here that if they hadn’t heard, AEW will be returning to Phoenix very soon, and with a PPV! AEW is going Double Or Nothing in Arizona on May 25th, 2025!

 

Toni Storm is here!

Phoenix fires up as AEW is once again Timeless! For once again, and for a historic FOURTH time, Toni Storm is the NEW AEW Women’s World Champion! Luther helps Toni into the ring, and Toni grabs herself a mic. The spotlight is on her as the fans chant her name. Toni smiles, and says, “This whore you all adore… This slut you can’t rebut… This tramp is your NEW CHAMP!” The fans cheer again, and Toni continues. “On the other side of the world, in front of friends, family and former lovers, I faced the Woman From Hell. A woman… who broke my heart, took my title, and ruined my soul. Mariah May, you SICK B*TCH!”

But Mariah, Toni says she is also so proud of her. Because Mariah gave Toni the fight of her life, and then Toni won with her Small Package. “They say the best things come in small packages, but darling, you should’ve won protection, because I railed you with the biggest package there’s ever been!” Toni says Mariah has been defeated, exiled, and compromised to a permanent end. And now, it is time for a cheap plug. Toni stars in the new film, Queen of the Ring, in theaters starting March 7th, do enjoy. The fans cheer that! As for the championship, if Toni is going to be the best, then she needs to face the best.

Toni says women of wrestling, lend her your ears. Because whether you are here just to stick your chin up, your tits out, or you’re someone like Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale, or even Wendy bloody Richter… If you want to go face to face, tit to tit or even lip to lip, Toni is not hard to find, darling! “For God is a woman, and her name… is TIMELESS~…!” Toni drops the mic, picks up the belt, and takes a bow. The fans all cheer, Toni blows a kiss, and fade to black. Who will answer this call and come for Toni Storm’s gold?

 

Gabe Kidd is coming to Collision!

That’s right! This Saturday on TNT, witness The Mad Man bring Strong Style to AEW! Who will be as #WarReady as this War Dog?

 

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.

AEW returns as Renee is now with The Babe with the Power, and as Renee starts to bring up last week, Willow speaks up. She got one minute of precious TV time, and Renee’s husband of all people interrupts to have Marina attack her. Willow’s 2025 is already off to a terrible start. Willow tells Moxley, Marina, and the Death Riders that she is- OH WAIT, here comes Marina! Willow and Marina brawl, but Marina uses the briefcase on her! And then she send Willow into a road case, then KICKS her down! Moxley steps in and tells the cameraman to follow him. Things head to the stage, and the fans are torn as Moxley grabs a mic.

Moxley goes to the ring, Marina, Yuta and Claudio in tow, and Moxley tells Phoenix he’s gonna ask a question. “Do you know just who in the hell I am?” The fans certainly do, but Moxley says he’s the champion of the world, that’s who! That means this is his mic, that’s his camera, this is his ring, this is his arena, and you’re sitting in his seats! So nobody comes into his house and lays down some challenge to him like they’re somebody! He doesn’t care even if it’s the Rated R Superstar! And he’ll tell ya, Adam Copeland is NOT here! He’s still on his ass in Australia, facedown in the dirt! Cope made a challenge, but Moxley about popped Cope’s head off his shoulders with his bare hands!

So if Cope shows up at Revolution, Moxley will finish the job! WAIT! Jay White is here! The Switchblade storms out and tells Moxley to hush. White sees it is 4v1, but wait! The Bastard slither sin from the shadows! White says fine, more the merrier! But wait! COPE IS HERE!? Moxley is a bit surprised, but he figures he’ll still keep his promise. Except Cope slithers in from the crowd side! Cope CLUBS Moxley down then HAMMERS away! The Death Riders are stunned, White gets Pac for a BLADERUNNER to the stage! Cope fights off Yuta and Claudio, then SPEARS Yuta! Claudio has Cope, but Cope shoves free!

White is there to clinch Claudio, BLADERUNNER into the SPEAR!! So is that a Spear Runner? Cope then finds SPIKE! She didn’t make the trip to Brisbane, but she’s here in Phoenix! White also gets a chair, and Cope takes a swing! Moxley and Marina run away, get into the crowd, but Cope pursues! Will Cope chase Moxley all the way to LA? Cope grabs a mic, and he shouts for Moxley! “This isn’t your arena. These aren’t your seats. These aren’t your people! They’re MY people!” The fans cheer that! Cope tells Moxley that he’s probably halfway to the hotel, hostel, or whatever bridge he lives under. But he knows Mox will see this.

Mox is a COWARD! No nuts, no guts, no spine! He needs his goons, but guess what? As of now, Cope takes them out one by one by one! When we get to Revolution, it will be man to man, and Cope will kick Moxley’s ass! The fans are ready, will the Road to Revolution be nothing but Rated R?

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Renee welcomes in The CEO, and Mone says, “Phoeniiiix~! Say hello to your C E O! It feels so good, Renee. And Renee, I don’t want any interruptions, no surprises, and no damn puppets, you hear me?” Renee says of course, no puppets. Just congratulations for the great win at Grand Slam Australia. This makes Mone 14-0 as a TBS Champion, and it feels like there is no stopping the Money Train. Mone agrees, there IS no stopping the Money Train. And Harley learned first hand that there is a price to pay when you mess with Mercedes Mone. Then being just over two weeks away from Revolution, Momo Watanabe gave some comments in Australia.

Footage plays and Lexy Nair interviewed Momo Watanabe to bring up how she won the International Women’s Cup. That means Momo can challenge any Women’s Champion she wants from CMLL, Stardom, ROH and AEW. Momo was clearly scouting competition, has she made a decision? Yes, Momo has chosen Mone and the TBS Championship. She will see Mone at Revolution to put a stop to the Money Train. Mone asks what the hell!? She just said no surprises! But if Momo wants to face Mone for the title, then show up to Dynamite next week and say that to her face! Mone has answered a challenge with a challenge, will The Dark Peach oblige?

 

Kris Statlander VS Megan Bayne!

The #BornAgainKristen may have just crossed paths with her physical equal in The Megasus. Tall, strong, ready to get the action on, will Kris show Megan she’s still The Galaxy’s Greatest? Or will Kris be made to bow down?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Kris and Megan step up to be face to face, then they slowly circle. They tie up, go around, and Megan puts Kris on ropes. They go along ropes, Megan again has control, but she lets off slowly. Then she ROCKS Kris with a forearm! Megan runs, Kris follows, and Kris RAMS Megan! Megan doesn’t budge, so Kris dares her to do that. Megan runs, RAMS Kris, but Kris stays up. Kris brushes herself off, Megan dares her to go, so Kris runs. Megan kicks low, runs, and she runs Kris over! But Kris is right up! The fans cheer, and Kris ROCKS Megan! Megan avoids the leg sweep to BOOT Kris!

Kris avoids a senton to somersault SENTON, then STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Kris keeps moving, and she basement DROPKICKS! Megan staggers, Kris CHOPS, and CHPOS, and CHOPS! Kris climbs up, rains down fists, but Megan brings her off the corner at 5! Kris fights free, but Megan ducks the roundhouse! Kris avoids the boot and ROUNDHOUSES after all!

Megan sends Kris into the corner, runs up, but Kris dodges! Kris goes corner to corner, but Megan SPEARS!

The fans fire up while Megan stands back up, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Megan revels in the cheers and jeers, then drags Kris up. Megan bumps Kris off buckles, then RAMS into her again and again! The ref counts, Megan lets off, then she stalks Kris along the ropes. Megan pushes Kris into a corner, then CHOPS her! Megan whips Kris corner to corner, runs corner to corner, and SPLASHES! Megan then underhooks to BUTTTERFLY SUPLEX! Kris flounders, Megan stalks her to ropes, and Megan drags Kris back for a cocky cover. TWO, but Megan stays cool. Megan waistlocks for a REAR BEARHUG! Kris endures, fights up, and pries at the hold. Kris elbows again and again until she’s finally free.

Kris runs, but Megan clinches! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Kris flounders away, and Megan storms up on Kris. Megan stands Kris up, then clinches, another OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Kris flounders, Megan stalks her, and Megan stands Kris up again. Megan short arm LARIATS, then drags Kris up again. Another short arm LARIAT! And another short arm LARIAT! Megan CLUBS Kris, has her in a drop zone, then goes up the corner. But Kris ROCKS her first! Kris goes up to SUPERPLEX! And roll through! But Megan hits the FALCON ARROW! Both women are down, but they’re still in this as Dynamite returns to single picture.

Megan and Kris rise up, and they throw hands! Kris and Megan DOUBLE LARIAT, then DOUBLE LARIAT again! They both roar, and DOUBLE LARIAT again! Kris kicks a leg out, then runs, but Megan BOOTS her first! Megan runs, but Kris DISCUS LARIATS! The fans fire up and Kris suplexes, GOURD BUSTER! Kris runs to SCISSOR KICK! Cover, TWO!

The fans are thunderous as Kris pushesget Megan in. Kris fires herself up, but Megan rises?! And she goes up the ropes to DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX Kris!! Megan roars, hauls Kris up to the top rope, and she CHOPS! Megan climbs, she and Kris brawl, and Kris gest the edge! Kris ROCKS Megan and Megan falls! Kris adjusts her position, but Megan distracts the ref while Penelope Ford rushes out here! Ford SHOVES Kris off the top!

The fans boo the Superbad Girl as she hides under the apron! Megan fireman’s carries, “BOW! DOWN!” F5!! Cover, Megan wins!

Winner: Megan Bayne, by pinfall

Just as Megan helped Ford with Thunder Rosa, Ford just helped Megan with Kris! Ford rains down fists on Kris while the fans boo more! But here comes Rosa! And she has a chair! La Mera Mera wants after them but Megan & Ford get in her face first! Ford and Rosa fight over the chair, but the ref steps in to settle this down. Megan & Ford leave, Rosa TOSSES the chair at them, will these four settle things soon enough?

 

Backstage interview with Max Caster.

Renee is now with Platinum Max and brings up his series of open challenges. He is 0-2, is he starting to reconsider his strategy? No, Renee, he is not. The strategy isn’t the problem, it’s how “Hangperson” was chasing him around the arena. That’s not what the open challenge is about. It’s about going eye to eye with the Best Wrestler Alive! And look into his eyes. He’ll tell you this right now, the open challenge will continue this Saturday on Collision, and he expects whoever answers to look him in the eyes, shake his hand, and get beat! Because Caster will prove to him and everyone else that you can’t be better than the best.

Renee wishes Caster luck, Caster thanks her and shows off his certificate. But just who will answer when Caster puts out the call?

 

Ricochet is here!

And he’s still wearing the stolen robe that belongs to Prince Nana. Phoenix boos the One & Only, but he grabs the mic to say, “Really? That’s what we gonna do? That’s how we gonna act, huh? Y’know what? That’s okay, because I would be angry and bitter, too, if I had to live in Phoenix, Arizona. It’s basically a poor man’s Las Vegas.” The fans boo but Ricochet says lucky for him, he has a helicopter waiting to lift him outta here when he’s finished. Because much like Kevin Durant, Ricochet is trying to get outta this boring ass town ASAP! The fans boo more, but Ricochet says fine, “You do you.” Ricochet will do Ricochet.

Because since the fans are acting like ungrateful animals, Ricochet will speak directly to the people at home. He knows they can hear him loud and clear, huh? Yes you can! But he needs them to understand that all the fans, all the booing, it doesn’t matter! None if it does! Because when you boo a winner, you boo into a void of nothing, and baybeh, Ricochet is nothing but a winner! Ricochet proved it two weeks ago when he pinned Swerve to the mat, 1-2-3! But in reality, Ricochet has been proving it from the moment he stepped foot in AEW! Let’s be real, Ricochet has been whooping the asses of all the favorites!

Ricochet whooped Swerve’s ass, Ospreay’s ass, Darby Allin’s ass, Komander’s ass! The fans chant for Swerve’s House, but Ricochet says that everyone here and plenty of you at home will never understand is that winners always have something to show for it. And oh does Ricochet have something to show for all of his success! Ricochet models the Embassy’s robe, the fans boo more, but Ricochet says check this. He is not content to just wear this. No, he came to AEW to wear championships. Ricochet will not be just another name on the roster! Ricochet will be the main name on this roster! He came to win, and more importantly, he came to win gold.

Ricochet says that is where his sights are set for 2025. He wants to be a champion here in AEW! Oh, wait, wait, let’s correct that. Ricochet will be a champion in AEW, because he’s too good looking not to be. But wait! Swerve is here! Phoenix fires up as Nana walks out first, sips his coffee, then shakes his head. Ricochet looks around, surely the Realest is lurking. Nana gets in the ring first, though, and has his own mic. Nana tells Ricochet he knows what he’s thinking. But this isn’t that. Nana wanted to take this time to talk to Ricochet one on one, so Swerve isn’t here right now. Nana knows they’ve been beefing these last couple of months, and he isn’t sure where that is going.

But one thing that Nana does know is that Ricochet is wearing something that doesn’t belong to him. Three DECADES, Nana has been in this business. In the ring, outside the ring, closing major deals, making champions, and heck, making history! And that robe has a lot to do with it. That robe right there represents pride, represents integrity, and represents those that Nana has walked through, and that we’ve lost. But one thing about that robe is that anyone who is wearing it has honor. Anyone that wears it has been bestowed the opportunity to be great. And Nana never gave Ricochet that opportunity.

Ricochet, honestly, if you’re still that happy-go-lucky guy, that winner that he always says he is, that humane individual, then just give the robe back. The fans chant “GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK!” Ricochet says Nana wants the robe back, is that all? Yeah, okay, sure. Take it from him. Ricochet stares Nana down, but then he asks what’s wrong. Is Nana gonna cry? That’s okay, we all have emotions. Nana ain’t getting the robe back. AHA~! Ricochet leaves, and Nana shakes his head. Nana tried doing this with diplomacy, will he have no choice but to let Swerve do things his way?

Cassidy headlocks, Roddy powers up and out, but Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges. Cassidy then bails out, and he hugs Kyle! The fans cheer The Conglomeration reunion, but then Cassidy looks at Cole. Cole stares daggers at Cassidy, so Cassidy slowly turns, hand up to block Cole from view. Cassidy rolls into the ring, but Roddy is right on him! Roddy headlocks, Cassidy powers up and out, but Roddy CLOBBERS him! Things keep moving, Roddy hurdles to then slide out, and he hugs Kyle! AND Cole! But Cassidy DIVES onto Roddy! The fans fire up and Cassidy puts Roddy back in. The fans chant, “One More Hug!”

Cassidy says why not. He hugs Kyle! The fans cheer, Cassidy goes up, then leaps, into a DROPKICK from Roddy! The antiair takes Cassidy down, but Roddy puts him in a corner. Roddy CHOPS, then he stalks Cassidy. Roddy CHOPS Cassidy again, but Cassidy bails out. Cassidy paces while he catches his breath, then he rolls back in. But Roddy stomps away at the ropes! The ref counts, Roddy stops to haul Cassidy up, and Roddy uses the ropes to SLINGSHOT POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Roddy keeps Cassidy down with a chinlock, then shifts into a GROUND COBRA TWIST!

Roddy DROPKICKS Cassidy right down! Cover, TWO! Cassidy survives and even shakes his head. Roddy drags Cassidy up, gives him a hug and puts him in a corner. To CHOP! Cassidy drops to his knees, but Roddy brings him back up. Roddy suplexes, Cassidy blocks, but Roddy CLUBS away! Roddy suplexes, Cassidy flails! Roddy CLUBS away, suplexes again, but Cassidy cradle counters! TWO!! Roddy escapes, and he LARIATS Cassidy down! Roddy drags Cassidy into a leglock, and he goes for the chinlock!

Roddy puts Cassidy in a corner, then up top. But Cassidy BOOTS back! Cassidy adjusts position, but Roddy GAMANGIRIS! Roddy climbs up, gut wrenches, but Cassidy clings to the ropes!

It will be live from coast to coast when AEW is in San Diego, and Cassidy will go 1v1 with Takeshita for the title, winner going on to Revolution. If Cassidy wins, he’ll become the greatest International Champion in AEW history! But before Cassidy can speak, The Don Callis Family makes their way out here. Callis has a mic to say he has something important to say.

Mark Davis & Konosuke Takeshita flank Callis as he tells Cassidy, “I guess you’re gonna go tell everyone you’re the greatest International Champion of all time.

Phoenix fires up for Omega & Orange as Omega holds up the belt, the fans like how that looks! But Cassidy looks at the belt, wanting to have it back. Who makes it through this Revolution International Championship Series as THE champion?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here to follow up the Australia specials and move things towards Revolution. Great promo segment to open with MJF and Hangman, and MJF has his “Heel making a good point” moment saying how the “forgiveness” is rather hypocritical. To be fair, Kevin Owens has made a similar argument recently, but it’s still valid in all of pro-wrestling where some Heels can never truly go Face. Anyway, good stuff to set up their match at Revolution, including that moment Hangman has with Daniels. And as I said last week, Hangman VS MJF should be seen as an unofficial #1 contender’s match, the winner aimed at the world title going towards AEW Dynasty in April.

Speaking of the world title, good stuff with Willow and Marina brawling again, leading into Moxley’s promo that then led into Cope & White getting after the Death Riders again. I really thought Cope was going to up the ante on the title match, but he instead implies he’s going to use the next two weeks, the next four AEW shows between Dynamite and Collision going into Revolution to have matches with Claudio, Yuta and Pac in whatever order, and take them off the board. I would think Jay White and even Willow are part of that, maybe even The Gunns as they rejoin White in the Bang Bang Gang, which could be some really good stuff that branches off into other matches.

Really good Trios match from Patriarchy VS Opps. The Opps have a good theme song, but maybe a little too chill. That aside, The Opps of course won and it was of course Nick Wayne taking the loss. I still think we should get Joe VS Christian, and then that’s a smokescreen where Christian loses only to come back and cash-in on the world title. It’s gotta happen, it’ll help shake things up, and again, how can we ignore a new Cope VS Christian feud? Very good promo from Toni Storm to leave it up in the air who her next feud is with, and pretty good promo segment with Mone and Momo to set up their feud. But now that Momo said TBS Championship, pretty sure Mone wins.

Toni did name drop Kris, and Kris Statlander has yet to challenge for the world title, so maybe she moves up after what we’re getting with her, Rosa, Ford & Bayne. Great match from Kris VS Megan, but I should’ve figured Ford would get involved to screw Kris over. And naturally, Ford would beat up Kris and that’d cue Rosa to make the save. But how did they botch that so badly? The irony is this was a botch where next to nothing happened when clearly something should have. It feels like someone between Ford and Megan forgot what they were to do, because the easy option would’ve been for them to slip out of the ring, but it just ended up awkward. The tag match will be good, and we can still do singles matches after, but this was a bad hiccup.

Jericho had a good promo to call out Bandido, and I didn’t think the ROH World Championship would be happening now. With that, there might be shenanigans that help Jericho win, which is a shame. Good promo from Cage & Archer to call out The Hurt Syndicate, and we’ll surely get a confrontation on Collision that then makes the tag title match for Revolution. That’s gonna be some big meaty men slapping meat there, much like tonight’s Street Fight. Though, AEW really needs to clarify how their rulebook works. Given the ten count, this was really a Last Man Standing match disguised as a Street Fight. But naming conventions aside, still great stuff, and Hobbs getting the win works so that he can move on, perhaps to a title match of his own.

Very good promo from Ricochet with Nana, and you can bet the robe will be the apparent prize in whatever rematch we get from Ricochet and Swerve. And knowing Swerve, he and Ricochet could have one killer No Disqualification style match. Good promo from Caster to play off his Open Challenge losses like they were for other reasons other than Caster isn’t the Best Wrestler Alive. And y’know what? They mentioned Gabe Kidd showing up for Collision, so why not two birds with one stone? Gabe should answer the challenge, beat the snot out of Caster, then call out just about anyone he wants, because he’s Gabe Kidd.

Very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom, but what a copout on The Conglomeration not really being a thing anymore. Did they not want to put in the time to do a quick promo where The Conglomeration disassembles? I did like how Cassidy hugged Kyle and felt awkward around Cole, though. But still a great main event from Cassidy VS Roddy, and Cassidy winning makes a lot of sense. For one, The Kingdom can still do a feud with The Death Riders over the trios and world titles, but also, Cassidy really did establish the International Championship. Good stuff with Don Callis Family going after Cassidy, then Omega making the save. It’s also a good tease of Omega VS Cassidy for the first time since Omega was world champion, but we’re definitely getting Omega VS Takeshita at Revolution.

My Score: 8.8/10
