Tony Schiavone and Tony Khan are in the ring!
Daily’s Place is fired up as AEW returns home on the Road to Revolution! Schiavone knows he doesn’t need to introduce the owner and CEO, but Khan has a major announcement! Tony thanks Tony for the mic, and Khan says he normally keeps people on time so he’ll make sure to get to wrestling asap. He thanks the fans for being here, as well as those watching at home. The fans have been the ones keeping this company going through these hard times. Tonight is a big night, and this is perhaps the biggest week in this company’s history. We’re on the road to Revolution this Sunday on PPV, and to add to that, here is his huge announcement!
Khan appreciates people being here for this. When they started AEW three years ago, it was out in the parking lot! A lot of fans were here at the very beginning. It was 17 years before that, another wrestling company started. That company… was ROH! Ring of Honor! And Khan has been a fan of ROH for a long time, so he is very excited, because today, Tony Khan signed a deal, and is the NEW OWNER OF ROH!! That is HUGE! There is no Shane McMahon, it’s all Tony Khan! Almost 20 years ago, ROH launched into an ear of honor with one of the biggest events ever. That main event, maybe some were here. But one man who was there was CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!
Christopher Daniels is an AEW Original, an ROH Original, and the man he wrestled, neither won that night and it’s been eating both men up for 20 years. The man he wrestled is here tonight, and the man who will face Jon Moxley at Revolution! That man is here for the first time in Daily’s Place. That man is none other than BRYAN DANIELSON! The American Dragon is already dressed to compete, because he is facing… THE FALLEN ANGEL!! That match from ROH’s first event opens this already historic Dynamite! But will there finally be a winner?

Bryan fish hooks Daniels’ face, the ref counts and Bryan lets off right at 4. Bryan then pulls Daniels into a BOW ‘N’ ARROW! Daniels endures, he touches the rope and Bryan lets him go.

Bryan whips, Daniels reverses, Bryan goes up and over and keeps going to duck and dodges, into a BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Fans fire up while both men are down.

Bryan rains down elbows as Daniels reaches for ropes! Daniels fades, Bryan wins!
Winner: Bryan Danielson, by submission
But Bryan holds on, to literally flex on Daniels! The American Dragon finally gets the win on the Fallen Angel, but now he gets the mic. “Ladies and gentlemen, 20 years since the first Ring of Honor show. Christopher Daniels and I were in the main event. And at that time, we started matches with a handshake, and we ended matches with a handshake.” Bryan reaches down to Daniels, takes his hand, and says, “Let’s hear it for Christopher Daniels. But here’s the thing: I’m not in Ring of Honor! I’m in AEW! And it’s time to kick somebody’s head in!” Bryan gets both hands to give Daniels DANIELSON STOMPS!!
Bryan lets off and soaks up the cheers and jeers before calling out Jon Moxley! “On Sunday, at Revolution, the head that’s gonna be stomped in is yours!” But wait! Here comes the Maniac himself! Moxley heads through the bleachers and down to the ring. Moxley gets himself a mic before he gets in the ring with Bryan. “I can see that the American Dragon, Bryan Danielson, is better than ever. And I can see that Bryan Danielson is more violent than ever. But you got it wrong, my friend. There’s two paths I can walk right now, I’m at what they call a crossroads. And which path I take will determine my future.”
Bryan thinks Moxley walks the path that gets his head kicked in on Sunday and he fades into oblivion, never to be heard from again. But that ain’t gonna happen. Not by a long shot. Moxley chooses to walk another path! “Through sheer force of will, refusal to die, I will walk this path through fire, through bullets, and through you! Because at the end of this path is something that looked impossible not too long ago. At the end of this path, I beat the American Dragon, Bryan Danielson! The story of Jon Moxley is just startin’! It’s just beginning. And I write the first chapter on Sunday, a chapter that’s gonna be written in blood!”
But since Bryan wants to talk about what he’ll do to Moxley, kick his head in, there’s like a million people watching at home and thousands live in the crowd. If Bryan wants to prove Moxley wrong, then take a shot! Moxley drops the mic and throws off the jacket as fans fire up! Bryan drops his mic, he steps to Moxley, but then bails right out. Fans boo but this battle will happen at Revolution! Will Bryan beat the hell out of Moxley? Will Moxley beat the hell out of Bryan? And will they still somehow form that most violent faction in the world?
Darby Allin & Sting speak.
The Icon says that this Friday on Rampage, there will be heavy duty fines and indefinite suspensions for anyone who tries to get involved in the coming Triple Threat. No big deal to Sting. Is it any bother to Darby? Not at all. He didn’t need anyone’s help to win the TNT Championship, and he won’t need help this time. “Sammy, no matter what happens on Friday, we’re teaming up on Sunday at Revolution. You, me and Sting to take on Hardy, Andrade and Isiah. And we’ll do what we always do, baby: steal the show. Because ain’t nobody getting more psychotic than us.” But as for Rampage, the TNT title, “It’s showtime.” Who will hold the gold going into Revolution?

And reDRagon get in to celebrate with them! The Elite conspiracy has worked out in their favor! But here comes Jurassic Express! Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus see the two teams they’re facing this Sunday, will they still be golden after Revolution?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“The entire wrestling world is buzzing over the announcement of Eddie Kingston VS Chris Jericho this Sunday at Revolution after our promo segment- Well, Eddie, you probably don’t know what a promo is. After our conversation on Dynamite last week. Congratulations, kid, you’re finally becoming the big star I always knew you would be.” But Jericho still can’t related to a guy like Kingston, because Jericho’s been such a big star for so long and Kingston… well, hasn’t. But this Sunday, it’s finally Kingston’s chance to win the big one. Because like Jericho said last week, Jericho IS the big one in AEW.
So Kingston, look deep down inside. Do you really think you have what it takes to beat the Influencer? Do you really think you have the confidence to get over your fear of success? Jericho doesn’t think so. But if Kingston does, IF, then Jericho will shake his hand and tell him he has his undying respect. But if not, which he won’t, Jericho will laugh at Kingston’s pathetic ass and to GFY. Santana and Ortiz walk in, Jericho raises a fist, and he gets fist bumps in return. Are they good? Santana & Ortiz don’t answer that, but Jericho says he always has their backs. Will the Inner Circle still be standing, no matter what happens between Le Champion and the Mad King?
CM Punk heads to the ring!
The Best of the World looks rather conflicted as he walks out into Daily’s Place and gets the mic. Fans chant for Punk, and Punk says he used to wake up every morning, splash his face with some water and look himself in the eye in the mirror. He’d ask himself, “Am I the bad guy?” Punk never had an answer. He doesn’t believe anyone thinks of themselves as the “bad guy” in their own story. Up until a week ago, Punk was sure MJF was the bad guy. And he’ll say right now, Punk thinks what Max did last week, to come out and bare his soul like that, on national television, that takes courage. Courage Punk didn’t think MJF had.
MJF spoke about a lot of deep, powerful things. But Punk also can’t shake the feeling that he’s just being gaslighted. Punk makes it clear to everyone watching: Punk doesn’t think MJF is lying. Those things surely happened to MJF. Where the questions lie is in the sincerity. Punk might be getting soft, because he isn’t even sure if it matters. There’s a famous picture of Punk online, very young, with Stone Cold Steve Austin. And after much lesser men framed Austin as a man who took his ball and went home, Punk didn’t get mad at the world. Punk didn’t lash out and do horrible things.
And since being here in AEW, Punk has seen Max knockout the legendary Dean Malenko, who is suffering from Parkinson’s. Punk heard MJF bury the late, great Brian Pillman Senior, in his hometown. Punk had to watch MJF say awful things about Darby Allin’s late uncle. And here’s the thing, ladies and gentlemen, this is the one fact Punk knows: “Hurt people hurt people.” When Punk came to AEW, MJF stood in front of him, introduced himself and Punk didn’t shake his hand. Is Punk to blame for MJF’s horrible behavior? Is Punk somehow Dr. Frankenstein and MJF is the monster he created?
Punk thinks everyone has to take responsibility for their actions. And Punk is pretty sure there is nothing he can say that is more impactful than something he can do. In order to do that, he needs MJF to come out here. Punk doesn’t want anyone but Max from last week to come out here. They can talk, have a conversation in front of the world. Punk waits and fans chant, and without music, MJF makes his way out. MJF joins Punk in the ring, and though fans boo, he keeps his cool. Punk walks up to MJF to say, “Here’s the thing, Max. I’ve done horrible things in my life. I used to be you, so full of hate.”
Punk poured alcohol down an alcoholic’s throat. He covered a legendary wrestler in the ashes of his dead, beloved manager. He mocked a wrestler’s addiction until he lost his JOB because of it. And Punk is here to say that all that hate is not going to keep you warm, it’ll burn you up. Punk would like to think that his respect isn’t just given, it is earned. And right now, this is bigger than Punk, bigger than MJF, bigger than wrestling. This is about an 11 year old kid watching at home right now, and right now he looks up to MJF the same way MJF looked up to Punk. That is what this is about.
Punk might be wrong, but he woke up this morning, splashed water in his face, and he looked at himself in the mirror and asked, “Are you the good guy?” Punk finally had an answer. That answer is… He is sure trying. Punk offers a handshake and fans aren’t sure what to make of this. MJF himself isn’t sure what to make of it. MJF pushes past the handshake to HUG Punk. MJF is hugging his childhood hero, and now Punk is the one unsure what to make of this. Punk hugs him back! Fans cheer this cathartic moment for Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and then MJF KICKS PUNK IN THE BALLS!
MJF throws off his jacket, drags Punk up and throws him through ropes, to then reel him in for the HEATSEEKER!! MJF rips off his fancy button-up shirt to reveal a T-shirt with THAT PICTURE on it! Young Max and Punk at the meet ‘n’ greet! MJF then calls for his henchmen! Wardlow and Shawn Spears walk out, and they have both diamond ring and dog collar! MJF puts the ring on his pinkie, and he demands Punk get up! Punk slowly stirs, manages to get to his feet, DYNAMITE DIAMOND PUNCH!! MJF stands up on the corner and shows off the ring as he soaks up all the heat. FTR also return to watch the ramp as MJF rains down fists!
Punk is busted open, MJF BITES Punk’s forehead! FTR CLOBBER security as they rush out! Spears gets in the ring and mocks Punk. MJF drags Punk up, smears the blood all over his shirt, then throws Punk out of the ring! Punk sputters on the floor, MJF gets him up to punch the bloody wound more! MJF stands Punk up for Spears to put the collar on him! MJF tells the timekeeper to stop ringing the bell, then he gets a mic. “You stupid, stupid old man. I’m a snake. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he doesn’t exist. And this Sunday, at Revolution, I’m going to show you and all these mindless sheep that I am the devil himself!”
MJF then has Spears CHOKE Punk by pulling the chain! Punk dangles from the ropes while bleeding, but here comes Sting, Darby and Sammy Guevara! They run The Pinnacle off, but the damage has been done! Punk can finally breathe again, will he make sure MJF never speaks again?
Backstage interview with Keith Lee.
Schiavone says the Limitless One has qualified for the Face of the Revolution, but before that, Friday Night Rampage will see Keith Lee have a little tune-up. But before Keith can comment, Ricky Starks walks in, imitating Keith’s “Greetings and salutations.” Keith has Starks stop right there. Starks has twice interrupted him. If there is a third, there will be none of Starks left to do so again. Well Starks is just here to let Keith know that Rampage is Starks Country. And Hobbs is the President.
With that all said, Starks is giving Keith a fair warning. If Keith shows up on Rampage, he might not make it to Revolution. Starks is just being a good brother, and giving Keith a heads-up. See you when they see you. And Keith promises to be there. Will this little warning do little to scare the Limitless One away?

La Mera Mera just pinned the champ! Will she do that all over again at Revolution? Or will Britt find a way to keep the title?
Backstage interview with Tay Conti & Anna Jay.
Tay accepted Jade Cargill’s open challenge for the TBS Championship at Revolution. Tay is a Black Belt in Judo, and a Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu. How does she hope to get that gold belt? Before she can say anything, Mark Sterling & Jade Cargill walk in. Of course they show up. Jade says, “Bitch, shut up before I kick you in the face again. Nobody gives a damn about that karate shit.” Jay keeps Tay from firing off, and Sterling says someone didn’t read the fine print. If Tay so much as harms a green hair on Jade’s head, this title opportunity will be taken away faster than you can say jiujitsu. Tay clams down, and Jade says to be thankful she gave Tay this opportunity.
The Jade Brand leaves, TayJay stays cool. Will the Brazilian Blackbelt Beauty beat some modesty into Jade? Or will she just be the newest loser on #ThatBitchShow?
Sammy Guevara has his cue cards!
AEW goes picture in picture as Sammy shares his thoughts. “Fines! Suspensions! Why is that what it takes just to get a fair match with you? Matt, Isiah, Andrade, can you do nothing on your own? When I won this belt, I didn’t need or want help! The Inner Circle didn’t fight my battles! I DID! Which is why I respect you, Darby Allin! You do it the same way. Every fight with you has been fair. This Sunday, it will be an honor to fight along side you and an icon, STING! Make no mistakes though, this Friday, you are nothing more, than another opponent! Good luck!” El Idolo VS The Relentless VS The Spanish God, but there can only be ONE TNT Champion!
AEW hears from Kris Statlander and Leyla Hirsch.
The Galaxy’s Greatest Alien says, “Leyla, you call yourself a legit athlete. But a legit athlete would know how to take a loss, learn from the experience, and yet, all you’ve done is blame me for winning.” But Leyla says, “Stat, you said that my parents had a reason for giving me up for adoption.” Kris stands by what she said about Leyla being childish, and she meant it with every fiber of her being. Leyla asks the producers why she’s even doing this. Why is she talking to a camera? Kris said what she said. Kris says if Leyla wants to talk struggles, Kris will give her something to struggle with. They’re about to see a whole different side to Kris Statlander no one has ever seen before.
Leyla is done talking! She’ll let her actions speak louder than Kris’ words! What happens when these two finally have it out in the ring 1v1?
Wardlow w/ Shawn Spears VS Cezar Bononi!
We saw the members of The Pinnacle play their part in MJF’s brutalizing of CM Punk, but the Maestro of Mayhem actually just stood by and watched. Is he not in agreement with his teammates anymore? Or will he start doing things the way they want against the Wingmen’s Brazilian Beefcake?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Bononi knees low, CLUBS Wardlow, and then whips him to ropes. Wardlow uses that to reel Bononi in! POWERBOMB! Fans fire up as it begins already! Spears isn’t happy but fans want that “ONE MORE TIME!” Wardlow gets Bononi back up, to POWERBOMB again! And then roll Bononi up and into a THIRD POWERBOMB! Cover, Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall
And he did it his way! Spears gets in with his chair, but Wardlow stops him from getting his shots in! Spears lets the chair go, fans chant for Wardlow and Spears throws off his beanie. Wardlow doesn’t back down from The Chair Man, so Spears steps away. Will the War Dog become the new Face of the Revolution in that stacked field of stars?
AEW hears from The House of Black.
Malakai says, “You have deemed us inherently evil. But wasn’t it the House, PAC, that gave you new sight? Wasn’t it the House, Pentagon, that gave you new means to find new levels of…” “Violence,” Brody King finishes. “The part of the human condition that society chooses to shun. The part that the House has embraced and enforced as you sit back and cast…” “Judgement,” Buddy Matthews finishes. “The one thing everyone passes, and everyone fears to receive. We don’t cast judgement. We seek the truth. And the truth is is that we are the House.” “And the house always wins.” Will this trifecta of terror tear down the norms to enlighten AEW?
Backstage interview with Wardlow and Shawn Spears.
The Chair Man knows the big guy is mad, but Spears still loves him! And big news! Max, c’mere! MJF says he heard Wardlow got a little perturbed earlier, so here’s some good news. If Wardlow wins the ladder match and beats the TNT Champion, he can keep the title. Besides, it’s not like he’s going to win it anyway. MJF starts to walk off but Wardlow says it’s only because he’s too busy making sure MJF’s winning. MJF comes back to SLAP Wardlow! Maybe Wardlow forgot: he isn’t a pro-wrestler, he is MJF’s bodyguard! Wardlow doesn’t work for AEW, he works for MJF! And if MJF were Wardlow, he would not mistake kindness for weakness or Wardlow’s family will be out on the street! Will the War Dog obey his “master?” Or will he finally bite the hand that feeds him?
Six Man Tag: Hangman Page & The Dark Order VS Adam Cole & reDRagon!
Before the battle of Adams at Revolution for THE AEW World Championship, Page and Cole call upon their friends! The Good, The Bad & The Hungy ride again against the undisputed paragons of pro-wrestling! Will champion or challenger have all the momentum going into their title bout?

Hangman figured as much, and he circles with the Infamous One. They approach, Hangman avoids the roundhouse to fire off haymakers! Fish reverses the whip but Hangman slips out of the scoop to shove and BOOT! Fish flounders and Hangman brings him up to bump off buckles. Hangman stomps away on Fish, the ref counts and Hangman lets off at 4. Fans fire up and Hangman drags Fish up. Fish knees low and brings him around for knees.
Fish tags Kyle O’Reilly, reDRagon mugs Hangman and then double whips. Hangman busts through the double kicks to run Kyle over! And then kick Fish to suplex onto Kyle! Cover, TWO! Hangman drags Kyle up, tags in John Silver, and Silver brawls with Kyle. Kyle and Silver trade KICKS, but Kyle gets a facelock! But Silver suplexes Kyle first! Fans chant for “Johnny Hungy!” as he tags in Alex Reynolds. They get the legs to roll and TOSS Kyle! Fish gets in, but runs into double drop toeholds! DOUBLE BASEMENT DROPKICKS! Kyle gets up but Reynolds dodges him to dropkick him down!
Fans fire up with Reynolds, he covers, ONE! Reynolds drags Kyle up, underhooks the arms but Cole rushes in. Reynolds chases him off, but turns around into fast strikes from Kyle! Leg sweep! Tag to Cole and he drags Reynolds around to rain down fists! Cole tags Kyle back in, Kyle KNEES Reynolds low. Kyle wraps Reynolds up, cobra twist! Reynolds endures, and reDRagon links up to add leverage! The ref sees that and reprimands. Fish lets go, Reynolds hip tosses free!

TWO, Hangman sits on the cover, TWO! Hangman rolls through to jackknife and Alabama! Cole fights that off, suplexes, but Hangman slips out! Hangman waistlocks but he ducks Cole’s elbow. Cole ducks the lariat, mule kick to the leg!
Cole brings the kneepad down fast, runs, but Hangman ducks the Boom! Hangman runs in but is put on the apron! But Cole sees him load up! Cole bails out before Hangman can slingshot in, and reDRagon regroups with Cole. Fans boo while AEW goes picture in picture.
Hangman dares someone to get in but the ref keeps him back. The ring count starts, Cole takes his time returning, and he still stays back to tag Kyle. Hangman tags Silver, Silver and Kyle circle again. They tie up, go around, Silver headlocks but Kyle powers out. Silver runs Kyle over, then flexes! He’s friggin’ jacked, baby!

Hangman rallies on Kyle, whips corner to corner but Kyle reverses. Hangman uses that to triangle jump LARIAT Fish down! Hangman dodges Kyle, scoops him and FALL AWAY SLAMS!

Cole fires off hands, then SUPERKICKS again! Cole holds up the AEW World Championship and tells Hangman that it will belong to him! Will Cole prove he’s the superior Adam now, then and forever? Or will he be in for some serious #CowboyShit at Revolution?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home for AEW! For one, HUGE news to start the show. I had a feeling and yet didn’t think it’d be possible, but now Tony Khan and AEW own ROH! Word’s getting out that ROH will become the developmental to AEW, but only time will tell. Also no idea if this means ROH coverage will return, but still exciting stuff. Bryan VS Daniels was a great match to follow up that news, and it also segued perfectly into Bryan and Moxley having one more face-off before the match. I really don’t have an idea how this one goes. I would think Moxley wins the match, but it’d be a much bigger surprise if they still become a team after this since Bryan’s going very Heel and Moxley is Face.
AEW once again gives us an awesome battle royal. It was awesome to get Top Flight back at 100% with Darius’ return. And even 2point0 being the last team for a letdown was a great move. And while it looked like Top Flight had a shot to shock the world, the plan stays as I expected. Young Bucks, reDRagon and Jurassic Express are going to have a great Triple Threat tag, and I fully expected Bucks and reDRagon to cancel out so that Jurassic Express can retain. Jericho’s promo was just him repeating what he said last week, so that was a bit disappointing. It was also surprising that Santana & Ortiz even gave him fist bumps. Jericho VS Kingston could still go either way, but I was hoping for a bit more drama in the Inner Circle over this stuff. Maybe we still get that even after Revolution.
The segment with Punk, MJF and the rest of The Pinnacle went as I expected and yet still went above what I expected. Punk already got really bloody, and he’ll surely just get bloody all over again at Revolution. MJF got his shots in, I’m thinking he loses on Sunday. Wardlow put Bononi away much faster than I could’ve expected, but it worked perfectly within the story that’s building. I’m a little surprised MJF is “letting” Wardlow keep whatever title he wins, but Wardlow breaking free from The Pinnacle is still coming. Hell, it could happen at Revolution if MJF calls on him to help him against Punk.
Keith Lee had a good segment with Team Taz, you can bet Starks & Hobbs will try to get at Keith on Rampage as their go-home segment. Sammy had another good cue card promo, Darby & Sting had a good backstage promo, but what a surprise that we’re getting a TNT title Triple Threat before the Tornado Trios match. Being a Triple Threat could be the way Andrade gets that title while also putting dysfunction into the Darby-Sting-Sammy team. We got good promos to hype up the TBS Championship match and Statlander VS Hirsch, but I’m still bugged by what’s going on in the latter. Are we getting a completely unmotivated double turn? I’d really hate that.
The women’s tag match was pretty good, but it felt a bit clumsy. It has been some time since Britt and Rosa had a match against each other, they’re probably just working on their chemistry again. I’m sure their title match at Revolution will be much better, but with Rosa standing tall here, I have a feeling AEW is going to keep Britt on top. We got a good House of Black promo, I like that they are framing themselves as tweeners. Once Fenix is back, we can get a killer Six Man out of these guys. And we also got a killer Six Man in tonight’s main event, but Cole & reDRagon of course won here. They stand tall, beating down Hangman, Silver & Reynolds, because Hangman is going to retain that title at Revolution.
My Score: 8.8/10

But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man. He has a packed schedule, unlike his former tag team partner… The fans chant, “We Want Bowens!” but Caster says he has some news for us: Bowens ain’t here, and he ain’t coming back, cuz Caster ran his ass outta AEW! The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges. Caster cartwheels, cheers himself on, but then Hook trips Caster up! The fans cheer, and Hook clamps on REDRUM!! Caster TAPS, Hook wins!
Winner: Hook, by submission
Well, now it’s 0-6. Will Caster ever realize he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match. So I don’t really see the point of us discussing the romantic capabilities of a beast, y’know?”

Mone laughs as she keeps holding on! The ref reprimands, Mone lets go, and the fans boo as Mone holds up all her belts. But Billie pushed Mone a lot further than Mone will likely admit. But at this rate, will no one stop Mone from becoming the Forever TBS Champion?
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum introduces himself and Turbo Floyd, and they wish their boys, the Omaha Mavericks, good luck on the way to the NCAA titles. Some call those guys underdogs, but guess what? There’s not enough fingers ‘n’ toes on the planet to count out the Mavericks nor The Outrunners! Tell ’em, Turb! Turbo says that just like The Outrunners, the Mavericks will do whatever it takes to get to the top! It is 90% mental, and the other half is in your head! What? Well, either way, the Outrunners have been cheering on the Mavericks this whole season, and no one is gonna stop them nor the Outrunners! If you haven’t seen the Mavericks or the Outrunners, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
MJF speaks.
The Scumbag looks down at MVP’s business card, and says, “It’s funny. A lot of fans are starting to place their bets on which horse is going to become your next AEW World Champion. You got some people placing their chips on Darby Allin; beat him twice with a headlock takeover, and he’s probably dead on some mountain somewhere. Will Ospreay; beat him for the International Championship. Swerve Strickland; look at me. I beat him in life. And then there’s the, uh… The Cowboy… As much as it pains you hypocrites to admit it, there’s only one horse to place your chips on. One thoroughbred, one stallion, one mustang, the most complete professional wrestler on God’s Green Earth, and you’re lookin’ at him.
“Speaking of looking, I’ve been doing a whole lot of looking at this card. And it’s got me thinking about my Triple B being around the waist of Dictator Jon. Dictator Jon is surrounded by a pack of wild animals, and it’s very clear to me, that if I want a shot at The Devil getting his due, part two… Perhaps I need a little clique of my own. However, the last time I trusted someone, or I had a ‘partner,’ I got burned pretty bad. So as far as your offer goes, MVP, I will have an answer for you and for the world next week.
“But what I would like to do is leave all of you morons with this: The time for Daddy to be crying over spilt milk is over. The time for me to smile over popped champagne, well, that’s just begun.” MJF gives his pinkie ring a kiss, is he about to join the Hurt Syndicate?
AEW World Championship Street Fight: Jon Moxley VS Adam Copeland!
With Revolution’s main event being more or less interrupted by quite a few others, namely Christian Cage and his Casino Gauntlet Contract cash-in, The Maniac stayed the champion, but nothing between him and the Rated R Superstar had been settled.

The fans rally for Cope as he snap suplexes Moxley to the floor! Moxley writhes and staggers away. Cope runs up to BOOT Moxley down! Moxley takes a seat, and Cope rains down forearms! Cope rains down fists, not having to hold back!

Moxley whips but Cope reverses, and Moxley hits railing!
Cope DUMPS Moxley over into the crowd, and then pursues again. The fans fire up as Cope storms up and CLOBBERS Moxley into the boards! The fans fire up as Cope CHUCKS a trash can at Moxley’s head! Moxley staggers away, Cope has a beer can and he SMACKS Moxley with it! Moxley is dazed as he leans on the barriers, and Cope fires forearms and CHOPS! The fans fire up being even closer to the action, but Moxley ROCKS Cope in return! Cope ROCKS Mox, Mox ROCKS Cope! Cope ROCKS Moxley again, but Moxley hits back again! They brawl their way along, forearm for forearm! The fans boo Moxley while he vows Cope is done!
Moxley comes back but Cope BOOTS him! Cope fires hands, Moxley tumbles over the barriers, and Cope pursues. Cope grabs the panel that covers the top of the LED board to SMACK Moxley on the back! Then SMACKS him again! But then Cope clears off the desk! The fans fire up, Cope stalks Moxley again, and Cope brings Moxley around to TOSS onto the desk! The fans are thunderous as Cope climbs up to join Mox! But Moxley CLAWS Cope’s eyes! And he BITES Cope’s face! Then underhooks and PARADIGM SHIFT on the desk!! Cope flops to the floor while Moxley dusts himself off. The ref checks Cope while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Moxley stands up tall to soak up the heat. Moxley taunts the fans, then dumps water on Cope. Moxley paces around while Cope sputters and stirs. Moxley fetches the kendo stick, goes back to Cope, and Moxley waits on Cope to stand. Then he SMACKS Cope back down! Moxley CHOKES Cope with the kendo stick, drags him up and around, and he talks trash at the same time. Cope refuses to give up so Moxley shoves Cope down. Moxley flips off the fans, then waits on Cope. Cope stands, Mox runs in, but Cope sends him into the steel steps! Moxley falls in a heap, and Cope drags a TABLE out from under the ring!
Surely, Omaha is fired up again as Cope stands this table up at ringside. Moxley crawls away, has a chair, but Cope CLUBS him first! Cope whips, but Moxley reverses, and now Cope hits steel steps! Cope falls in a heap, Moxley grabs that chair and puts it in the ring. Moxley fetches Cope, puts him in the ring, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Moxley has the chair, takes aim, and he SMACKS Cope on the back! The fans boo while Cope writhes, and Moxley SMACKS him again! Moxley CHOKES Cope with the chair, having it sit on his neck! Moxley flips off the fans while they boo more, but Cope still refuses to give up.
Moxley lets off Cope and he tells the ref to back off. Moxley puts the chair around Cope’s neck! The fans boo as Moxley wants to do Cope like he did Bryan Danielson and Chuck Taylor! But then Moxley goes up the corner?! The fans boo, but Cope stands! Cope CHUCKS the chair at Moxley! Moxley teeters up top, Cope climbs up after him, and Cope CLAWS Moxley’s back! Cope brings Moxley up, to SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men writhe, and Prince Nana is watching backstage. Swerve is still down and out after what Moxley did to him on Saturday, so Nana is keeping an eye on this match on Swerve’s behalf.
Moxley writhes but rises up, and so does Cope. The fans rally, Cope and Moxley trade forearms, and then Moxley eggs Cope on. They stand to fire more forearms, and Cope gives as good as he gets! Moxley kicks low, fires knees again and again, then runs, only for Cope to dodge and LARIAT! And LARIAT! And LARIAT again! The fans fire up as Cope then FLAPJACKS Moxley down! Moxley checks his face while the fans rally up. Cope goes out of the ring, and he looks under the ring. IT’S SPIKE! Cope brings his little friend into the ring, but Moxley hits a CUTTER! The fans boo but Moxley CHOKES Cope!
Moxley goes out, and he brings out a second TABLE! The fans are torn, they love tables but don’t like Moxley. Moxley puts this table in the ring, sets it up in a corner, but Cope gets Spike back! Cope SMACKS Moxley in the gut!! The fans go nuts, but then Cope SMACKS Moxley on the back! Cope puts Spike down, and suplexes Moxley onto Spike!! Moxley writhes as Spike sticks inside Moxley’s back!! So many nails are digging into flesh!! The fans are losing their minds and Moxley isn’t sure what to do about it! Moxley stands, Spike still digs into him, but WHEELER YUTA IS HERE! BUSAIKU KNEE on Cope!!
The fans boo but of course The Decoder defends Moxley! Now even Yuta is shocked to see Spike stuck in Moxley’s back! Yuta helps Moxley, but as he pulls on Spike, Moxley’s skin is stretched and torn up more! The ref gets Spike off of Moxley’s back while Yuta goes out after Cope. But Cope pops Yuta up to POWERBOMB him through the table!! That’s what Yuta gets! But CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI IS BACK! And PAC! The Death Riders return to mug Cope and help Moxley! They put Cope in, we see Moxley’s bloody back, and Cope goes to a corner. Pac runs in for an ELBOW! Claudio runs in for an UPPERCUT!
Pac runs back in for an ELBOW! Claudio UPPERCUTS! They keep the cycle of violence going, then Claudio feeds Cope to a LARIAT! Pac takes the chair, puts it under Cope’s head, and Claudio grabs another chair. Claudio brings that chair over rather menacingly, but wait! FTR is here! Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood rejoin the fight against the Death Riders! Cash brawls with Claudio and TOSSES him while Dax has Pac! Then Cash DIVES to wipe Claudio out into the desk! Pac throat chops Dax, but Dax ducks a roundhouse to DDT Pac! Moxley is up to spin Dax around, but Dax kicks low! PILEDRIVER!!
The fans fire up as Dax then LARIATS Pac and himself up and out of the ring! Things are even now, and Cope seethes as he rises up. Moxley rises, Cope takes aim! SPEAR through the table!!! The fans are thunderous as both men wipe out through the wood! The fans love “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for giving them this insane match! Cope drags Moxley to a cover, BUT MARINA BREAKS IT! Marina Shafir is again a Problem, and she rains down forearms on Cope! But WILLOW NIGHTINGALE IS HERE! The Babe with the Power gets in there to fire hands on Marina! SHORT ARM LARIAT! Marina tumbles out, Willow goes to the apron, CANNONBALL!
The fans fire up as Moxley ends up in a corner. KIP SABIAN is here!? But Cope SPEARS him first! Only for Nick Wayne to go up, up, and WAYNE’S WORLD!! The Patriarchy is working to screw Cope over like Christian Cage did at Revolution! Moxley crawls over to get Cope in a cover, TWO?!?! Cope survives! But BULLY CHOKE!!! Moxley squeezes tight, Cope is OUT! Moxley wins again!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (still AEW World Champion)
Captain Charisma screws over his old friend once again! But it took all of the pawns to save “The One True King of AEW,” and Nana calls Swerve. Nana surely has good news for Swerve. Will Dynasty once again be Swerve’s House? As for Rated FTR, Dax is certainly frustrated enough for both him and Cash, but the fans still cheer on their efforts. Cope reaches a hand out to his friend, but Dax doesn’t take it? Even Cash is surprised by that! Cash tries to talk with Dax but Dax pushes him away? Well, you can’t spell frustrated without FTR, but at least Cash hugs it out with Cope. Omaha gives Cope a standing ovation, but will Cope ever have a world title again?
Backstage interview with Bandido.
Renee Paquette is with The Most Wanted, and brings up the horrible things Chris Jericho did at Revolution. How have he and his family been since then? Bandido says wrestling, lucha libre, it runs in his veins. And he knows the dangers, he can handle them. But what Chris Jericho did to his brother, Gravity, and how that was the first AEW show their mother and sister ever attended, it was humiliating! Jericho made Bandido’s mother cry in front of him, and Bandido will never forgive Jericho for that! So on Slam Dunk Sunday Night Collision, Bandido hopes Jericho shows up and acts like a man! Bring Gravity’s mask and give it back!
But Johnny TV steps in and somewhat sarcastically says wow, Bandido’s whole family was embarrassed and his mom cried on camera. WHO CARES?! Bandido thinks he deserves to sit in the ring like a sad puppy on Slam Dunk Sunday, perhaps the biggest Collision in history? That’s not ratings gold! Ratings gold would be Bandido VS Johnny TV, and Johnny slam dunks Bandido’s head! Bigger ratings than the Super Bowl! What do you say, “amigo?” Bandido says okay, amigo. Challenge accepted! Johnny says great! Johnny heads out, but will Bandido the one dunking on Johnny?
Will Ospreay VS AR Fox!
The Aerial Assassin called his shot at the AEW World Championship for All In: Texas! He also claimed that he’d get in the Owen Hart Memorial Tournament, win the Cup, and challenge for the world title as this year’s King of Harts. Will that long road to Globe Life Field begin now? Or will tonight be the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ospreay offers a handshake, Fox takes it, and the fans cheer. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to a wristlock. The fans sing “OSPREAY~, OSPREAY OSPREAY OSPREAY~!” Fox rolls, wrenches, wristlocks back, but Ospreay spins and trips Fox up. Cover, ONE! Fox ducks a buzzsaw, waistlocks, but Ospreay elbows free. Ospreay whips, Fox ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Ospreay slips around to waistlock. Fox bucks the O’Conner, rolls back, CUTTER but Ospreay handstands through! Ospreay wags his finger, gets running, and springboards to OSCUTTER, but Fox handstands through!
The fans fire up, Ospreay trips Fox but Fox UP KICKS Ospreay! Both men kip up, and the fans cheer the standoff! Ospreay smiles and nods, and the two reset. Ospreay checks his back for a second, still feeling that Steel Cage match from Revolution. The fans cheer as Ospreay and Fox circle again. They knuckle lock, then Fox kicks low! Fox CLUBS Ospreay’s back again and again, then kicks low, But Ospreay turns things around to CHOP! Ospreay whips, Fox grabs ropes, then Fox DUMPS Ospreay out! Ospreay lands on the apron, but Fox sweeps the leg! Ospreay is down, Fox runs and slingshots to DOUBLE STOMP on the apron!
The fans are torn while Ospreay sputters into the ring. Fox slingshots and gator rolls Ospreay into a suplex, but STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE strikes back! Fox tumbles out, the fans fire up, and Ospreay uses that energy to PLANCHA! Down goes Fox and the fans fire up again! Ospreay stretches out that back while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ospreay grits his teeth as he goes back for Fox. Fox RAMS Ospreay into the apron! Ospreay sputters, Fox grabs a chair, and Fox makes Ospreay take a seat. Fox rains down fists, refreshes the ring count, then takes a lap around the ring! Fox builds speed and comes back around, but Ospreay BOOTS Fox down! Now Ospreay refreshes the ring count, drags Fox over and makes him take a seat. Ospreay rallies the fans and takes that same lap around the ring. But Fox slides into the ring and FLIES onto Ospreay at the ramp! Fox puts Ospreay in the ring, goes up a corner, and SWANTON BOMBS! Cover, TWO!
Fox is frustrated that Ospreay survives, but Fox clamps on a REAR BEARHUG. Ospreay endures the squeeze, fights up, and he throws elbows. Ospreay is free but Fox CLUBS him on the back! Fox whips, but Ospreay CLOBBERS him! Ospreay hauls Fox up to back suplex, but Fox makes it a CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Fox is again frustrated, but he clamps back on with the REAR BEARHUG! Ospreay endures the squeeze all over again, and the fans rally up. Ospreay fights up, reaches out, but Fox brings him away from the ropes. Ospreay fires more elbows, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Fox kicks low.
Fox runs, but Ospreay TIGER WALL KICKS, ENZIGIRIS, and then runs, to fake Fox out! Ospreay KICKS the backdrop away, but Fox ENZIGIRIS in return! Ospreay staggers, but he BUZZSAWS Fox! Ospreay runs, but Fox goes Matrix and kips up to ENZIGIRI again! Fox runs, into a SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO!! The fans fire up again and Ospreay rises. Ospreay gets the fans even more fired up, and he aims from a corner. Fox stands, into a HOOK KICK! Fox falls forward, Ospreay prepares the elbow! HIDDEN- NO, Fox ducks under and BASEMENT CUTTERS! Ospreay staggers, Fox runs up to BOOT him in the corner!
Fox hoists Ospreay up top, then climbs up again. But Ospreay slips under, tucks Fox in, CHEEKY NA- NO! Fox pops up and over! Ospreay BOOTS Fox, goes up, but Fox GAMANGIRIS! Fox runs up, springs up, LO MEIN PAIN! Cover, TWO!!! Ospreay survives at the last nanosecond, but Fox goes right up top! “This is Awesome!” as Fox aims, 450 FLOP!! Ospreay dodges, and now he strikes with the HIDDEN BLADE!! Cover, Ospreay wins!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall
Fox was outfoxed by this bird of prey, but Ospreay shows Fox much respect. The fans cheer that, but Ospreay’s hip is still bothering him. Ospreay himself wonders, can he even go All In at less than 100%? Or will he win no matter the odds?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee remarks that it is officially going to be Moxley VS Swerve at AEW Dynasty, then welcomes in The Cowboy. Hangman steps in, and Renee says that while she has a feeling she already knows the answer, she will still ask the question. “What are your thoughts on this match being official?” Hangman says he has said this a thousand times. He vows to never let Swerve Strickland hold the AEW World Championship again. Hangman is nothing if not a man of his word. But after beating MJF at Revolution, Hangman will not let his vision be solely focused on someone else. His focus will be on himself.
And while many people have been jumping the gun to enter The Owen, Hangman will join the party. Hangman will win the Owen Hart Foundation Cup to then go on, challenge for and become the NEW AEW World Champion. Even if it’s Swerve. The Cowboy joins The Aerial Assassin, what other dangerous names will put their names in the hat?
BREAKING NEWS for Slam Dunk Saturday!
On top of Daniel Garcia and Adam Cole settling things for the AEW TNT Championship, Max Caster insists on once again having the Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge! Will Platinum Max just end up 0-5 in his own series? Plus, after going back and forth with the Don Callis Family, “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs continues to conglomerate as Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero back him up! Will the Book of Hobbs finally close the book on The Don Callis Family? Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer prove there’s no betta than the Don Callis Family? And then, the tiebreaker finally happens as Julia Hart and Queen Aminata have round three!
Julia Hart and Queen Aminata speak.
The Princess of the Black Throne says, “Aminata~… I heard you want a rematch. That’s fine, because we’re 1-and-1.” The One True African Queen says, “And for the third time, you can name the time and the place.” It will be the end of this best of three to determine who is truly the better woman! Will the Hart Always Win? Or can Aminata make this her crowning achievement?
BREAKING NEWS for Slam Dunk Sunday!
In the second half of this March Madness Collision weekend, the AEW World Trios Championships will be on the line! The Death Riders are back at full strength, and they will defend the gold against AR Fox & Top Flight! Will Fox help Darius & Dante Martin finally dethrone the Death Riders? Or will Pac, Yuta & Claudio continue to hold these titles hostage? And while “Harley-gram” has been hanging around, it’s time for Harley Cameron to get back in action! Who will #FeelTheWarth of Harley’s Finishing Move?
And finally, La Faccion Ingobernable has been trying to destroy both Hologram y Komander, but now they all have it out in the ring! Will Dralistico & The Beast Mortos take the masks and the souls of their prey? Or will “Los Titanes del Aire” (The Titans of the Air) rain down vengeance on LFI?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee is with The CEO and congratulates her on yet another successful title defense. Mone asks how many is that now. Renee believes it is 16-0, but that kid gave Mone a hell of a fight out there. How surprised was she by Billie out there? Mone admits, “that kid” did put up a fight. That kid, Billie, has a lot of heart. But it takes more than heart to beat Mone. Who trained her? Who mentored her? Whoever did knows nothing about pro-wrestling. If Mone had trained Billie, Billie might’ve had a chance at beating Mone for the title. HAHAHA! But no, who’s she kidding? Billie still would not have won, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
And what that “stupid kid” learned tonight is that there is no stopping the Money Train. Okay, on to 17-0. Bye, Renee! Mone heads out, but is the CEO’s ego about to get the attention of a Fallen Goddess?
“Timeless” Toni Storm is here!
Omaha cheers for the AEW Women’s World Champion as she makes her way out here to join commentary for tonight’s main event. After all, it has some major implications for who “costars” with Toni in her next title picture.
Megan Bayne w/ Penelope Ford VS Kris Statlander!
The Megasus has not respected anyone in AEW, only dominated! And she perhaps tolerates the Superbad Girl as they have common enemies. But from attacking Toni last week to attacking Thunder Rosa before their match, it seems no one is able to even slow Megan down. Can the Galaxy’s Greatest get even from their previous showdown? Or will Megan be the bane of the AEW Women’s Division?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Kris and Megan step up, stare down, and then Megan winds up! Kris blocks the shot to fire a flurry of forearms! The fans fire up, Kris runs, but Megan follows! Megan ROCKS Kris, runs, but Kris follows to UPPERCUT! Kris runs, Megan follows to SPLASH Kris at the ropes! Megan runs but Kris ROCKS her! Kris runs but Megan clinches! Kris fires shots but Megan shoves her away. Megan blocks a boot, ROCKS Kris, then runs up to LARIAT Kris up and out! Ford applauds, the fans are torn, but Megan storms out. Kris goes up to the apron! Kris PENALTY KICKS, then MOONSAULTS!
The fans fire up, Toni is rather stunned, and Toni gives Kris credit for that. Kris puts Megan in the ring, climbs up a corner, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Megan flounders away to a corner while the fans fire up. Ford coaches Megan, Toni says if Bayne is a “Megasus,” call her to the “Stormodo Dragon.” Same toxic tongue and dry skin. Kris runs in and LARIATS! Then Kris climbs up to rain down fists! The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Kris then pushes Megan out, leaps, but Megan catches her! Megan pops Kris up, but Kris slips free! Kris kicks low, runs, and basement DROPKICKS! Cover, ONE?!?
The fans rally as Kris storms up on Megan. Kris drags Megan up, Toni says Megan must be the Greek Goddess of Silence as she’s barely spoken a word. Kris stands Megan up to fire forearms, then whips corner to corner. Megan reverses but Kris goes up to FLYING BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up again and Kris puts Megan in a corner. Kris fires forearm after forearm, then runs side to side for a BOOT WASH! The fans fire up, Ford is upset, but Kris ROCKS Megan again. Kris runs corner to corner, but Megan BOOTS her! Megan clinches to CORNER EXPLODER! The fans rally but Megan drags Kris up again.
Megan RAMS into Kris again and again, then hoists her up top. Megan SLAPS Kris, climbs up, and Kris fires body shots. Toni says both ladies have such powerful thighs, surely they’ve crushed watermelons. Kris fires hands, ROCKS Megan, and Megan hops back. Megan runs in but Kris BOOTS her! Ford distracts, the fans boo, but Megan ROCKS Kris! Kris falls to the apron, the fans boo more, but Megan gets Kris up. DEADLIFT BACK SUPLEX! The fans boo but Megan rises up as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Megan soaks up the heat from Omaha, then she looms over Kris. Megan drags Kris up, short arm LARIATS, then paces around. Kris goes to ropes, Megan storms up and stands Kris up for a CHOP! Megan has Kris in a corner and fires KNEE after KNEE! The ref reprimands and counts, Ford applauds, but Megan brings Kris out to HALF HATCH PLEX! Kris flounders away, but Megan storms up again. Megan looms over Kris, but Kris fires a body shot. Megan KNEES low in return! Kris staggers to a corner, Megan whips corner to corner, and then Megan runs in, only for Kris to dodge! Kris runs in and UPPERCUTS Megan!
Kris runs side to side and BOOT WASHES Megan again! Kris brings Megan out, but Megan breaks free! Kris ducks the lariat to BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO! Megan survives and Kris seethes. Kris drags Megan up, scoops her, but Megan slips free! Megan shoves Kris and DECKS her! Kris goes to a corner, Megan runs in and LARIATS! And KNEES! Megan whips, Kris reverses and ROCKS Megan! Kris runs, but Megan clinches! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Kris flounders to the apron, Ford cheers Megan on, and Megan drags Kris up. Kris fights the back suplex this time, and she drags Megan out to the apron!
Megan fights Kris’s suplex, so Kris APRON GOURD BUSTERS! Kris drags Megan up, brings her over, and they go up a corner! Dynamite returns to single picture as Kris brings Megan up, but Megan slips under to RUNNING POWERBOMB!! Megan then fireman’s carries! “BOW DOWN!” FATE’S- NO! Kris lands out and runs the ropes, SCISSOR KICK! Both women are down and the fans fire up! Toni says she’s on the edge of her seat, and she looks to be about that as we get a standing count. The fans rally, Kris stirs at 3 of 10, and she crawls her way over to Megan. Kris sits Megan up to SLAP her! Megan SLAPS back!
The fans fire up as Kris SLAPS again! Megan SLAPS Kris! Both women stand, the SLAPS keep going! The fans fire up behind Kris and boo Megan, and Kris fires a flurry of SLAPS! Then a PELE! Kris runs, but Ford trips her! The ref saw that, and EJECTS Ford! The fans fire up while Ford freaks out! Kris stands, but Megan runs in! Kris ducks the lariat and kips up! SUPERKICK! Megan BOOTS in return! Kris ROUNDHOUSES! Megan roars, but Kris gets under the boot to POWERBOMB! Kris hurries to scoop and MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Megan survives, Toni says she’s nervous, because just look at the power!
Megan and Kris stand, and Kris goes up a corner. Kris leaps, but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! But Kris is right up! And she GERMAN SUPLEXES Megan! But Megan’s right up to GERMAN SUPLEX Kris! Kris still stands, then dodges Megan to SNAP GERMAN! Megan is right up to LEAPING LARIAT! Kris tumbles out, the fans are thunderous, and Megan takes aim…!? “This is Awesome!” as Megan builds speed and DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp! Megan roars, drags Kris up and into the ring, and then hauls Kris up! Megan suplexes, for a FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and Megan is a bit surprised.
Kris crawls away to the ropes, but Megan rises up again. Megan runs, but Kris DUMPS her to the apron! Kris has Megan in the ropes, DRAPING DDT! Megan tumbles out, Kris goes to the apron, CANNONBALL! Kris hauls Megan up, but Megan throws Kris into the apron! And then into Toni Storm! Megan wipes out Toni with Kris’s body and the fans boo! Megan then hauls Kris up, fireman’s carry, FATE’S DESCENT on the floor! Megan shoves Kris into the ring, and then tells Toni to watch this! Megan storms in after Kris, drags her up again, fireman’s carry! “BOW! DOWN!” FATE’S DESCENT!! Cover, Megan wins!!
Winner: Megan Bayne, by pinfall
The Megasus continues her dominant streak, but wait! Toni Storm is taping up her hands, ready to throw down! The fans fire up as the champ gets in the ring! Toni fires fists with Megan right away and the fans fire up! Security rushes out here but the fans boo! “Let Them Fight! Let Them Fight!” Megan breaks free of security to CLOBBER Toni! Toni staggers back up, and she shoves free to LARIAT Megan up and out! Megan lands on her feet, but security does their best to keep these two apart! Megan is beside herself, but Toni grabs a mic to say, “My gawd, you’re a big b*tch!” Fans cheer that!
“I’ve always said the bigger they are, the harder they come. So it’s about time you and I got tantric! You keep looking at my title, but you don’t have much to say. So I’m gonna make this very easy for you. You and I shall have a date at Dynasty! And I will make your thighs shake and your body quake, and I will leave with this strap on, for I am TIMELESS TONI STORM! And I will tear your tits off!!” The Megasus has the title match she wants, but will she get much more than she bargained for?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite that almost lost some matches given the blizzard that hit today. But it looks like we got everything they were hoping to get done tonight, especially in building up Dynasty. The Fatal 4 Way was an awesome opener, and what an incredibly clever way to give two guys that win to raise the stakes on Kenny Omega. I also feel like we should get Bailey VS Ricochet 1v1 just to see “who’s better” going into the Triple Threat, and maybe indicate some go-home math towards that match. I would think part of the Triple Threat nature is so that regardless of the result, all three men look strong, but I’m leaning towards Omega winning.
Mone VS Billie was a great match, a great showing for Billie’s return to cable TV, but this makes her 0-2 all time for the TBS Championship (she lost to Jade Cargill on a Battle of the Belts special). However, Mone’s promo talking trash on Billie’s mentor planted major seeds for Mone VS Athena in time for All In: Texas, as I’ve been hoping for. Good promo from The Outrunners, but it seems like they didn’t make it to Omaha, or else they’d be teaming with Hobbs for Collision, not Briscoe & Rocky. Though it’s not like there isn’t ground for Briscoe teaming with Hobbs when they were the ones that confronted the Murder Machines last week.
Good promo from Bandido to respond to Jericho and call him out, and Johnny TV wanting a match with him is interesting. I suppose Johnny can take a loss for Bandido to get some momentum back before having it out with Jericho one more time. Good promo from MJF to set up meeting with MVP next week. I can’t be sure which way he’s going to swerve us. Mentioning he needs back up to take on The Death Riders would make me think he accepts MVP’s offer, but referencing Adam Cole turning on him makes me think he won’t. It’d make the most sense if he accepted the help, because it’s means to an end.
Great match from Ospreay VS Fox, and a great win for Ospreay to keep his momentum up from Revolution. I do appreciate him selling the damage from Revolution to add some doubt into his story. Ospreay will surely make it to the finals of the Owen Hart Cup, but his odds of winning shifted the moment Hangman Page said he’d be in. Hangman was denied the Cup last year, he might make good on a second attempt, especially if Swerve wins at Dynasty. Moxley VS Cope being a Street Fight went about how I expected: The entrances turned into a brawl, that brawl went all over the place, and then there was major overbooking. As such, Moxley wins, honestly making him look weak for it, but I suppose most Heel champs do end up like that.
FTR being part of the save that didn’t help Cope win, that’s a clever way of adding to the frustrations of FTR that is also sending them down a Heel path. Granted, this moment in itself, with Dax being the most upset and not even wanting Cash to talk to him feels out of place. There should’ve been something like this even before the “frustrations” from facing Undisputed Kingdom showed up. Chalk it up to more of TK’s backwards booking like he’s done with Jericho feuds. But I don’t see FTR breaking up, Cash will just start to see things Dax’s way and FTR goes Heel again as they keep after the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
Very good matches made for Collision and the awkward two-parter it has to pull because of NCAA basketball. Hart VS Aminata is going to be really good, but Aminata’s feud with Deeb is still on standby, so I think Hart wins out. And great main event from Megan and Kris tonight, with Toni doing another excellent job on commentary. Great win for Megan, and great brawl from her and Toni before Toni makes it official. Toni is a master at innuendos in her promos. That title match is going to be awesome, but I would think Toni finds a way to retain. Megan is great, but it might be a bit too soon for her to be world champion.
My Score: 8.9/10
