CM Punk VS Max Caster w/ Anthony Bowens!
South Carolina University explodes for the Best in the World! But as always, The Acclaimed’s Platinum Max has to have a diss rap! “I’m like Will Smith, I slap you if you smilin’. But you look like you hit more rocks than Hunter Biden. With your messed up teeth, your movies are the only way I’ll go to sleep. You’re not the Voice of the Voiceless. The ladies say, you’re the voice of the moistless. And homey, you need to keep back. I’ll have you crappin’ your pants like a Z-Pak.” Bowens tells Columbia, SC, “The Acclaimed have arrived!” But will Caster have to eat all the crap he just talked?
The bell rings and fans are fired up for “CM Punk!” as he circles with Caster. They tie up, go around, and Punk wrenches and wristlocks. Punk rams shoulders, wrenches again but Caster wrenches back to wristlock. Punk rolls back, gets a leg and trips Caster to then drop an elbow! Caster scrambles to ropes and Punk stays back. Fans rally behind Punk as he and Caster tie up again. Caster pulls hair to put Punk in a corner. The ref counts, Caster lets off but throws a knee low! The ref reprimands but Caster throws hands. Caster wrenches but Punk wrenches back to then snapmare and drop knees!
Punk goes after the arm but Caster scrambles to avoid the Anaconda Vice! Caster gets to ropes and Bowens coaches him while Punk waits. They reset and tie up again. Caster kicks low, wrenches and has the wristlock, but fans rally as Punk fights up. Punk slips through to headlock, but Caster powers out. Punk runs Caster over with a shoulder, covers, ONE! Punk gets the arm again and keeps on the shoulder. Caster whips Punk away but Punk ducks and dodges to CROSSBODY, but into Caster’s BACKBREAKER! Caster pushes Punk over to then drop knee after knee on the back! Cover, ONE! Another, ONE!
Caster is annoyed but he drags Punk up to CLUB on the back! Caster whips corner to corner hard and Punk bounces off buckles! Caster looms over Punk and mocks the title belt motion. Fans boo but Caster brings Punk up to whip him corner to corner again! Punk bounces off buckles again, The Acclaimed do the scissor fingers, and then Caster whips again. Punk tumbles up and out and Bowens warns Caster, but Caster turns around into springboard ax handles! Punk hits an atomic drop, then a snap suplex! Fans fire up while both men are down, and Punk gets up. Caster also gets up, but Punk whips him to the corner.

Caster hurries, MIC DROPÂ FLOPS as Punk moves! Punk kicks Caster, reels him in, PILE- Wait, Punk’s back is making this difficult. Punk grits his teeth and tries again, PILEDRIVER! Then ANACONDA VICE! Caster taps, Punk wins!
Winner: CM Punk, by submission
One more big win for the Best in the World! And just like anyone, he wants a title! Tony Schiavone goes to the ring to congratulate and interview Punk. What belt is Punk alluding to? Oh c’mon, Schiavone, you’re smarter than that. South Carolina knows! What does this motion mean? Fans chant his name, they can certainly guess. “There’s a couple things I don’t know. One: I don’t know who’s gonna be the champ in a week’s time. It’s either gonna be Adam Cole Baybay, or I’m gonna be looking down the barrel of some Cowboy Sh*t.” Fans like the sound of that either way!
Punk does know a couple things, though! There’s a lot of gray in his beard, and before his time in AEW is up, there’s gonna be a lot more of it. There are scars on his head, and he knows before his time in AEW is over, there will be a lot more scars! And the last thing he knows, before his time in AEW is over, he will be WORLD CHAMPION! Punk has made it clear for everyone, so then, how long will Punk have to wait before he gets his shot?
Backstage interview with MJFTR.
But before Alex Marvez can really ask anything, Smart Mark Sterling is putting up papers. What’s he doing? MJF explains that’s his lawyer. Yes, we know who Sterling is to MJF, but what about the papers? They seem to have Wardlow’s face- No no, we don’t say his name around here anymore. He doesn’t exist, okay? But what does exist is the Pinnacle. The Pinnacle, week after week now that the big stupid oaf is gone, are going to get wins. That starts tonight with FTR VS… What’re they called? The Asinine Boys? Billy’s kids? Who cares. Then next week, Shawn Spears VS Shawn Dean is an easy W, they’re all moving on up, baby!
Dax Harwood speaks up. He doesn’t understand what’s going with MJF and Wardlow, but he just wants MJF to understand that he is Dax’s friend, he is Cash’s friend, but so is Wardlow. Whatever this is, they won’t get in the middle of it. MJF says he would never. First of all, they’re not just friends, they’re damn family. And now he didn’t want to tell them this cuz he knew it’d hurt their feelings, but Wardlow used to talk crap on them all the time. Like, all the time. But that’s not what they’re here to talk about. They’re here to talk about winning! That is what he Pinnacle does! “Because when you’re in the Pinnacle…” MJF puts his hand in.
FTR leave him hanging? He nods to them and Cash puts his hand in, then Dax follows. “… you’re always on top.” MJF has a smug grin but FTR are still not comfortable with this. Cash & Dax already cut off Tully, will they be forced to choose between Maxwell Jacob Friedman and Wardlow?
Jon Moxley VS Jay Lethal!
The Maniac is ready to represent the #BlackpoolCombatClub in singles action, is he going up an equally lethal opponent tonight?
The bell rings and the two circle while fans rally. Lethal offers a handshake, but Moxley slaps it away! Moxley and Lethal circle more, tie up, and Lethal waistlocks. Lethal ducks the elbow to wrench and hammerlock. Lethal ducks another elbow to wrench and wristlock. Moxley whips Lethal out of the ring but Lethal lands on his feet. Moxley goes out, Lethal gets back in, and now fans are dueling. Lethal waits on Moxley to get back in, and the two go again. They tie up, Moxley wrenches to a wristlock, then headlocks for the takeover. Lethal keeps his shoulders up, gets to his feet, but Moxley hits another takeover.
Lethal headscissors back and fans rally as he holds tight. Moxley powers out, hits another headlock takeover, but Lethal headscissors again. Moxley shrugs it off this time, and he grinds Lethal down.

But Moxley kicks again, so Lethal just grabs that leg again! Moxley kicks one more time and is free, and then he throws Lethal out again! Moxley goes out faster, but Lethal gets right back in.

Lethal steadies himself, goes back up the corner, and fans rally up with the Macho finger. But Moxley ROCKS Lethal first! Moxley gets up top, brings Lethal up, SUPERPLEX!

AEW takes a look at Marina Shafir.
Since arriving in AEW, she has set out to be a problem. She uses backbreakers, kicks and racks to destroy her opponents. Will she look to take this ferocity all the way onto Dynamite, Rampage, and the AEW Women’s World Championship?
FTR VS Gunn Club!
Dax Harwood may not have beat CM Punk 1v1, but he and Cash Wheeler weren’t going to let Austin & Colten talk trash on them. Will FTR kick the Ass Boys’ asses? Or will “Billy’s kids” prove they’re Ass Men?
But before things get started, MJF makes his way out! The Salt of the Earth shows off the Dynamite Diamond Ring before walking over to commentary. “People used to say Where’s Waldo, now people are saying, Where’s Wardlow? Let’s go, FTR! Pinnacle for life, baby~!” The teams sort out and Dax starts with Colten. They circle, fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” but Austin is upset by that. Billy calms Austin down while Colten and Dax tie up. They’re in a deadlock, Dax and Colten break, and Colten double guns Dax. Austin also taunts Dax, but Dax laughs it off. They circle and tie up again, and Dax gets a top wristlock.
Colten arm-drags free, and “opens fire” on Dax with the invisible gun. Colten taunts “Lil’ Baby Dax,” then he tags Austin. Austin and Dax circle but the fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” again. Dax and Austin tie up, Austin hammerlocks but Dax slips around to hammerlock back. Austin drop toeholds, steps on Dax, then fires his own invisible gun. Dax and Cash talk strategy, Cash tags in. Cash mocks the guns and then ties up with Austin. Austin wrenches and hammerlocks, but Cash reaches back and hits a fireman’s carry takeover. Cash has the armlock, and he mocks the “Bang bang bang.”
Austin fights up, puts Cash in a corner, but the ref counts. Austin lets off, but he throws a cheap body shot! Austin throws a forearm, whips corner to corner, but Cash goes up and over and things speed up. Cash drops, Austin hurdles, but Cash arm-drags! And arm-drags again! And then dropkicks! Colten gets in but Cash feints dropkick and Colten flinches! Colten turns back around for Cash to CHOP him! Cash mocks the bang bang and even “SUCK IT!” Tag to Dax, they whip Austin, drop toehold and an elbow drop! Cover, ONE!! Austin manages to get out of that, but Dax drags him up to wrench and tag in Cash.
Cash goes up, Dax wrenches an arm, Cash leaps and KNEES the arm! Austin flounders away and out of the ring, Cash sighs and Billy coaches his sons up. Cash goes out, he gets Austin up to CHOP him against apron! Cash puts Austin in, but Colten trips Cash up! Austin distracts the ref and Billy DECKS Cash! MJF is furious, the ref has to keep Dax back, and Billy tells Cash to “SUCK IT!” Austin goes out to rain down on Cash, Dax gets in Billy’s face but the ref keeps Dax from going after him. Austin drags Cash up and in, tags Colten, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Colten stalks up behind Cash, drags him away from Dax, and Gunn Club double whips to double elbow! They fist bump, hug, and they both tell Cash to “SUCK IT!” Colten drags Cash up, bumps him off buckles then stomps away in the open corner. Colten puts Cash on the ropes to clothesline point blank! And again! The ref reprimands, Colten shouts that he knows about the count. Cash flounders, Colten stare down Dax, and then Colten drags Cash up to snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Colten tags Austin, they mug Cash, and then Austin throws Cash out hard. Austin distracts the ref now so Billy can stomp Cash down!
Dax goes over and shouts at Billy but the ref has him go back to his corner. The ref also makes sure Billy stays away. But Colten puts Cash in, then wraps up a chinlock. Cash endures as Austin pulls back, sits up, but Austin wrangles him back down. Austin pushes up to put more pressure on the hold, but Cash still endures. Cash keeps fighting up, Dynamite returns to single picture, and fans rally. Cash stands up, Austin brings him away, but Cash powers out to get a headlock of his own! Austin back suplexes, but Cash lands on his feet to back suplex back! Both men are down and fans fire up as MJF puts FTR over.
Tag to Colten, he keeps Cash away and RAMS him into the Gunn corner! Colten stomps away, Aubrey counts and he backs off, but then runs in to SPLASH! And then dropkick! Cover, TWO! Colten is upset with the count, MJF has the nerve to say Gunn Club cheats and all that, but then is technically proven right as Colten DECKS Dax. Colten runs in at the corner, but Cash dodges! Colten crashes into buckles but Austin tags in! Austin hurries to get between Dax and Cash, but Dax dodges the cheap shot and Cash ducks! Tag to Dax! MJF fires up with the fans as Dax rallies with big hands on Austin, then on Colten!
Dax puts Austin in a corner for EuroUppers, CHOPS, repeat! Colten CLUBS Dax, he whips, but Dax reverses. Colten duck san dodges but not the CALF KICK! Dax whips Austin, Austin reverses but Dax reverses back and reels him in, LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dax is frustrated and MJF complains about Aubrey’s count. Dax gets Austin at the ropes but Austin HOTSHOTS him! Austin brings Dax up, but Dax resists the suplex! Dax tries but Austin resists! They fight for suplex control, but Dax wins out, only for Colten to trip him! Austin covers and Colten traps a leg! TWO!! Dax escapes and Cash brings up the leg trap! Billy shouts at Cash to shut up!
Wait, wait, we cut to the back, and it’s WARDLOW!! He doesn’t care that he’s been told to stay home and even banned from the arena, he is here in person!! MJF is freaking out as Wardlow TOSSES security, then DECKS and BOOTS, and even POWERBOMBS one onto a table! The popcorn goes flying and Wardlow is coming through the crowd! MJF is freaking out in a very different way than the fans are! Another guard gets a BOOT, and then another gets an even bigger BOOT! MJF can’t believe how bad security sucks! Fans are thunderous as Wardlow glares at MJF! Wardlow DECKS another guard, but then he gets outnumbered!
MJF says Wardlow may be a monster, but there’s 10, 15 men! He’s a greedy pig and doesn’t belong here! Wardlow points at MJF that he’s coming for him, but MJF doesn’t care. Back in the ring, Dax sees Colten get on the apron. Dax swings on him but gets caught! Austin runs over but Dax escapes! Austin narrowly avoids hitting his brother, but then Dax pushes Austin into him! O’Conner, TWO! Billy is there staring Dax down! MJF tells the “show dad” to get off there, but Austin reels Dax in! Dax turns lift into sunset flip, but Billy grabs Austin’s hands to hold him up! Aubrey reprimands, Cash LEAP FROGS Austin to DECK Billy!
Dax finishes the sunset flip, Austin rolls through, but Aubrey is so busy with Billy she misses THE BIG RIG! Cover, FTR wins!
Winner: FTR, by pinfall
MJF says that is why The Pinnacle is always on top! He leaves commentary to celebrate with his friends, but Dax is furious! This thing with Wardlow is bad for business! They’re MJF’s friends but also Wardlow’s, FTR can’t have that beef affecting them. MJF says he understands, but fans are thunderous for “FTR!” MJF wants FTR to listen to him. They can get past this. This is The Pinnacle right here. But will it stay that way with Wardlow out for MJF’s hide?
AEW takes a look at Rampage’s massive main event this week!
Will Hobbs says Keith Lee has been a big pain in his ass even before he arrived. Keith Lee this, Keith Lee that, bask in this, bask in that. Well Keith can bask and kiss Hobbs’ ass! Meanwhile, Keith commends Hobbs’ bravery for taking him. But the only problem now is, Hobbs wants him 1v1. Hobbs says Rampage is his show, and it’s Ricky Starks’ show. So, Keith, this Friday, he won’t bask in glory but defeat courtesy of the man they call P-P-Powerhouse. Keith tells “Mr. Hobbs” that he will #BaskInHisGlory. Will Hobbs learn that he cannot stop the one who is limitless?
The Jericho Appreciation Society speaks.
Chris Jericho stands with Jake Hager, Daniel Garcia, Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker as he says, “For over three weeks, the Jericho Appreciation Society has been the revolutionary force in sports entertainment. And when I call myself the Influencer, it’s not a catchphrase or a gimmick, it’s the truth!” Because for these last three weeks, Jericho has had people from around the world, from dirt sheet writers to fans to lowly pro-wrestlers from every roster in this country, including AEW’s, wanting in on the JAS. It’s not gonna happen! There’s only five of them. So anyone who wants to join, Jericho simply says GFY.
Garcia says if you saw what happened last week when those pro-wrestlers went up against the sports entertainers, you saw them “future endeavor” John Silver & Alex Reynolds, as well as Santana & Ortiz, and that, that… RAT! Eddie Kingston! “Cool Hand Ange” has an idea! He tells “Daddy Magic” to take a peek around. Take a peek? Yeah, take a peek! A peek? Okay, he’ll peek, and oh! Nothing! See that? Lotta nothing! No Santana, Ortiz or trashy Kingston. Hager wants everyone to get it through their heads! They’re not here, and not coming back! But when Hager pulls back the other curtain, SURPRISE~! MAD BALL!
Ortiz fires off on Parker, Santana is after Garcia, and Kingston is after Jericho! They all brawl, Parker gets tossed into road cases and then Ortiz helps Santana with Garcia and Menard! Kingston keeps on Jericho with headlock punches! They even bump into a cameraman on their way towards the stage! They go out a side curtain and fans fire up seeing this in person! Kingston fish hooks Jericho towards ringside, Santana & Ortiz follow while bringing Garcia and the others along. Kingston chokes Jericho against railing while talking trash. Kingston keeps on Jericho and Kingston BITES Jericho’s face!
Ortiz DECKS Menard, Kingston has Jericho in the ring! Fans fire up, Jericho wants mercy, but Kingston wants to clobber him! URAKEN!! Down goes the Influencer! Garcia scurries in but Kingston has him first! And he sets him up for Santana’s BOOT! Kingston stands on Garcia’s head while Ortiz RAMS Menard into steps! Fans are thunderous as Santana gets a chair! Santana tosses the chair so hard it clears the ring to the other side! Kingston makes sure to make use of it, though, and he SMACKS Garcia off the seat! Santana & Ortiz have Jericho up, but Parker shoves Santana down! Hager CLOBBERS Ortiz!
Hager POSTS Ortiz, then gets Kingston for a SPINEBUSTER! Hager rains down rights on Kingston, Garcia gets up to go after Ortiz! Menard & Parker mug Santana, and then Jericho gets his shots in on Kingston. The JAS coordinate, Hager lifts Ortiz up to coordinate with Parker, BLOCKBUSTER SPINEBUSTER COMBO! Menard fetches Floyd the Baseball Bat for Jericho! Garcia has Kingston in the SHARPSHOOTER! And then Jericho uses Floyd to CLUB Kingston on the back! Again and again and again! Jericho then gives Ortiz some shots with the bat while Menard and Garcia stomp away on Santana!
Jericho holds up Floyd triumphantly while his guys clobber the others again. Jericho then takes off his belt, Garcia rips off Kingston’s shift, and Garcia and Hager hold Kingston up while Santana & Ortiz have to watch! Jericho LASHES Kingston with the belt! And again! Kingston grabs at Jericho but he gets mugged 3v1! And another LASHING! Hager then sets Kingston up for a JUDAS EFFECT! Jericho grins and his men stand tall while fans boo. If these “sports entertainers” can do this to some of the toughest pro-wrestlers around, will AEW belong to JAS?
Backstage interview with Jade Cargill and Mark Sterling.
Tony Schiavone asks if she and Sterling have decided on the 30th opponent, aka Jade’s next challenger for the TBS Championship? They have! And Sterling did situate the “baddy section” live on Dynamite, so that’s there. But there were two options for the opponent. Sterling went with the most prestigious one, the Librarian, Leva Bates! Even Jade seems confused as to this decision! Leva walks in with a copy of “Doom Dada” and a notebook, and Jade asks Sterling, “Does it look like my 30th win should be a joke, Mark?” No, Sterling things this is perfect. Jade tells Leva to leave.
Sterling apologizes to a weeping Leva, but this only leaves the other option. And who is that? Uh… Mrnshfr. Who? Marina Shafir! MMA fighter, we saw the video package earlier, she’s a blackbelt and doing pretty good. He doesn’t sound confident. Well, the Librarian was perfect. Jade says she will take on this “Muriner Shurfer” girl. She’s gonna go take care of her baddies while Sterling takes care of this. Schiavone, cut the shit. Will Jade prove that she can beat yet another blackbelt? Or will she learn to fear Shafir?
Bryan Danielson w/ William Regal VS Wheeler Yuta!
We saw Moxley get a big singles win, now the American Dragon is in action! Will Bryan get to kick Wheeler’s head in all over again? Or will the Decoder prove he is worthy of the Blackbelt Combat Club?
The bell rings and fans are fired up for Yuta! Yuta and Bryan circle, tie up, and Bryan gets around to chicken wing and smother Yuta! Yuta drops to his knees, Bryan goes for a chinlock but Yuta drop toeholds to get a waistlock. Bryan slips around, wrenches and puts Yuta on ropes.

Bryan endures the pain, even as Yuta goes all neck, no hands! The fans are thunderous as they duel, and Bryan turns to get the ropebreak!
Yuta lets Bryan go, Bryan goes to a corner, and Yuta runs in. Bryan puts Yuta on the apron, but Yuta ROCKS him first! Yuta goes up top and leaps, into a KICK! Bryan soaks up the cheers and jeers as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Yuta sits up, Bryan brings him up and whips him to ropes to hit a kitchen sink knee! Fans rally and Bryan acts like he can’t hear them. Or is he mocking Hogan? Either way, Yuta gets up to CHOP! Bryan EuroUppers, so Yuta CHOPS! Bryan pulls on an ear and then HEADBUTTS Yuta down! Bryan stands Yuta back up to hang out to dry on the ropes!

Bryan EuroUppers again and again, but Yuta catches an arm to backslide! TWO, Yuta swings but Bryan dodges the clothesline to ROLLING ELBOW! Yuta rewinds, gets around, GERMAN SUPLEX!

Bryan wants the full nelson but Yuta drops, so Bryan KICKS him in the back!
Bryan drags Yuta back up, full nelsons, DRAGON SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Yuta survives and Bryan actually smirks. Bryan sits Yuta up, slaps him around, fish hooks his face, and then hooks the arms for hammer ‘n’ anvil elbows! Again and again and again, Bryan drives the elbow in, but he stops to get the chicken wings. CATTLE- NO! Yuta slips out and Yuta fires off hammer ‘n’ anvil elbows!

Bryan isn’t letting go! He’s smothering Yuta again! Yuta is purple but the ref convinces Bryan to let him go! Bryan may be pissed, but Regal is impressed by Yuta’s resolve. “This beating will teach him a lot about this industry.” Will Yuta be able to find that next level and prove himself worthy of BCC?
AEW hears from Darby Allin and Andrade El Idolo.
The Relentless One says, “I’ve been wanting to have this match, but week in and week out, it’s you interfere in my match with Sammy, I wrestle Isiah, I wrestle Marq, I wrestle Butcher, I wrestle Blade. So dude, just step up.” El Idolo says, “So, Darby, you want to fight? Andrade El Idolo always fights. Kid, I slam sense into you.” Darby tells Andrade to drop the assistant, drop the group, drop the money and just be himself: one of the very best. Andrade hopes tonight, Darby shows Andrade who Darby is. This is going to be one hell of a main event, but who comes out the other side in one piece?
Adam Cole & reDRagon head to the ring!
The “Undisputed Elite,” the paragons of pro-wrestling, walk out with the AEW World and World Tag Team Championships they stole! They’ve got taped-on labels with their names over the real owners’ names, as if those make it all official. Cole, Fish & O’Reilly get in the ring and South Carolina University is torn. They get mics and Cole notices a box marked “party supplies, top secret.” Kyle opens the box, and half a dozen golden balloons float out. Cole says “There it is! Boys and girls, welcome to the Undisputed Elite’s Championship Celebration! Now, first and most importantly, I wanna make this very clear. Hangman Adam Page & The Jurassic Express are not here tonight.
“And, they’re not here, not only because they were not invited to the party, but because they’re ashamed. They’re embarrassed that we so easily took these championships from them. And that’s the key word: took. Because some of you morons, some of you idiots are trying to say that we stole these championships. You can’t steal something that belongs to you. Because this celebration is not just for the three of us. No, it’s for all of you! It’s for all of AEW! Because AEW needs a new era. AEW needs a new crew to run the show. And AEW has got the three best damn pro-wrestlers on the planet, baybay.”
Kyle says he is seeing a lot of haters. They’re saying reDRagon doesn’t have enough wins. They’re saying reDRagon isn’t ranked high enough to challenge for these tag titles. Kyle says to the haters… Wait, what was he gonna say? Oh, something about how they’re wicked and the rankings don’t matter, because everyone loves them. And y’know what it is? Too much “cham-pag-ne” backstage. He needs to sit down. Kyle does sit, and Fish says the celebration has been epic. What his tag partner is trying to say is, this man, Adam Cole, his reputation precedes him! Fish & Kyle, well Fish will put their resumé up against anyone in the industry!
Fish says what we’re looking at are “the three baddest dudes that this company has to offer, bar no one!” Cole says that is exactly why this celebration won’t end tonight! It’ll go all week long! They have more cham- Wait! Hangman Page drives into the arena in a Tesla with bull horns on it! The Cowboy then storms his way up to the ring! He gets in, DECKS Kyle, DECKS Fish, DECKS Cole, and then fires off hands on Cole! Fans fire up, Hangman whips but Cole holds ropes! Kyle rushes Hangman but gets tossed out! Hangman BOOTS Fish, then TRIANGLE JUMP LARIATS Kyle! Cole runs in, into a FALL AWAY SLAM!
Hangman kips up, loads up, but reDRagon get Cole out of the ring! No Buckshot here, but Jurassic Express come up the ramp with Christian Cage! They CLOBBER Cole & reDRagon from behind! Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus drag reDRagon into the ring, Christian POSTS Cole! Luchasaurus choke grips Fish, for a CHOKE SLAM! JB has a full nelson, he lifts Kyle for the TAIL WHIP into FACEBUSTER! Christian then puts Cole in and Hangman slingshots, BUCKSHOT- But Cole ducks! Cole runs, but Hangman TOSSES him out onto reDRagon! Cole may have avoided losing his head, but he and his guys just lost the belts back to the true champions!
Hangman and Jurassic Express have put the would-be champions on notice, but will Cole, Fish & O’Reilly find a way to be the next challengers after all?
AEW returns and Tony Schiavone is on stage.
Here in South Carolina, let’s bring out the AEW Women’s World Champion, Thunder Rosa! Fans fire up for La Mera Mera, and she gets another chance at her spotlight moment from last week. Schiavone brings up Nyla Rose & Vickie Guerrero ruining that, so the floor is hers. Rosa says it was a shame that her celebration was cut short. But the thing is, she IS the new women’s champion! She is the first-ever Mexican-born wrestler to do it, and it happened in AEW! When Rosa came to AEW, she told everyone that she’d put Women’s Wrestling back on the map! She fought and clawed her way to the top to be the face of this division!
However, she doesn’t want to just be the face or pillar. “Thunder Rosa wants to be the face of ALL Women’s Wrestling! But honestly, it seems like every time I get to the top, there’s always bullies that wanna bring me down. But remember, Tony, pillars get knocked down. But foundations, they remain standing. And I will be a foundation in this company! So whoever wants to get at me, come and get me! I’m ready. And this brings me to you, Nyla Rose. I know you had a message for me last week. But I’m gonna invite you to use your grown words. Or do you need Vickie to dumb things down so you can understand my message?”
Rosa says she didn’t go through hell so Nyla could just get her. No no, senorita. She’s here to fight. And it doesn’t matter if she has to wrestle Nyla, she will wrestle the very best in the world! So it doesn’t matter if it’s here or another company, Rosa will defend her title, and La Mera Mera will be there! Will Rosa not just be the AEW Women’s World Champion, but the world’s champion?
FTR speaks backstage.
Cash starts with, “It’s been said by people like The Ass Boys that Dax and myself, we take ourselves a little too seriously. And maybe we do. We take this seriously, because it is everything that we’ve ever wanted to do. And we’re doing it together. Right now, we’re making history. We are the AAA World Tag Team Champions. Friday night, we become the ROH World Tag Team Champions, and then we’re gonna become the first-ever two-time AEW World Tag Team Champions, and we know exactly how we’re gonna do it.”
Dax says they came to AEW “to build a reputation, not lose a reputation, okay?” Dax loves pro-wrestling way too much to take second place ever in his career, so he’s tired of waiting! He vows, in front of God and the whole world, he will issue a challenge! Young Bucks VS FTR, round 2, to see who IS the greatest tag team of all time! Do they accept? #TopGuysOut. Will FTR amass not only a historic treasure trove of tag titles, but finally settle the score with Matt & Nick Jackson?

Schiavone asks their response to Rosa, and Vickie already takes over. “Thunder, the only reason what you said caught my attention is because you insulted our intelligence. Which proves to me and everyone else that you fear my client.” Nyla adds that Rosa wants to be the foundation around here? UH-UH! Not on Nyla’s watch! The Native Beast is the foundation, the cornerstone, from day one! And she refuses to be a footnote! She will now cement her legacy with Rosa’s blood!

My Thoughts:
A great episode of AEW, such good stuff is being set up for the Spring stretch. Punk has a great opener with Caster, and of course Punk wins it to further set up that he wants the world title. And I don’t know why he said “next week,” Battle of the Belts II is 4/15, but I suppose the point is valid. We’re going to see Battle of the Adams II at that event, and I’m thinking Page retains. We got a great segment out of “Undisputed Elite” because of how subpar the celebration in the ring was. Great promos, great appearance from Hangman in a Tesla that he basically put JBL’s longhorns on, and great scrap between UE and Hangman with Jurassic Express. Jurassic Express VS reDRagon is surely also happening, and that could go reDRagon’s way.
Great stuff out of FTR and MJF backstage, and a great match out of FTR VS Gunn Club. I was really surprised they had Wardlow show up here this week but I suppose Wardlow wasn’t going to be stopped this week or any week from just showing up. It was good stuff that Wardlow’s attempt and getting in almost cost FTR. Just as we saw The Inner Circle fall apart and become something new, we’ll surely see something happen with The Pinnacle. MJF could end up losing FTR’s loyalty, and to be different from Jericho, MJF could end up with just Shawn Spears. FTR also has a great promo to shout out Supercard of Honor and call out Young Bucks, FTR is going to be on a great run.
Speaking of the reformed Inner Circle, great segment out of Jericho Appreciation Society with Santana, Ortiz & Kingston. I figured the trick was going to be that this time, the curtains open and those three show up. The brawl naturally did go the JAS’s way, cuz they have the numbers advantage, but it was also a bit telling that Jericho used Floyd the Baseball Bat again. Pretty sure we get Proud ‘n’ Powerful VS Ever-Rise 2.0, Menard & Parker, while also getting the rematch of Kingston VS Jericho. PNP are definitely winning, but maybe Garcia and/or Hager help Jericho cheat Kingston this time, because duh, they’re Heels, and more often than not, a Heel faction leader wins thanks to the faction.
Moxley VS Lethal was a great match, another rough loss to add to Lethal’s story of trying to “find a way.” Bryan VS Yuta was amazing stuff, Yuta’s best match in AEW and probably ever. I also like Regal on commentary, him seeing great things in Yuta is, well, great. It looks like Yuta either needs to put on a similar performance against Moxley, or win against someone else established in the upper midcard. I really hope Yuta becomes the first new member of Blackpool Combat Club, it just seems right. Great promo vignette from Hobbs and Keith, their match is going to be awesome stuff on Rampage.
We got a pretty good video package for Marina Shafir, and it’s big stuff for her to be making a Dynamite/Rampage debut going after the TBS Championship. We got a fun little promo out of Jade, Sterling and Leva. This was the first time we’d seen Leva anywhere in a long time, so glad to know AEW at least remembers her. Jade VS Shafir is definitely going to be a great for Jade’s 30th match, and as I was saying last time, it is definitely going to be a big moment one way or another. Jade winning over another legit martial artist is big, but losing will still be fine because it was to a legit martial artist. Just not sure why we got a shot of Jade’s baddies without her…
Really good promo from Rosa, really good response from Vickie & Nyla, though the audio was odd with Vickie. But duh, we’re getting Rosa VS Nyla, probably for Battle of the Belts II. But I really like that Rosa is implying she wants to use the “forbidden door” to get at all the other women’s titles she can. And hell, she should definitely go for a female belt collector story. Rosa VS NWA Women’s World Champion, Kamille. Rosa VS the eventual ROH Women’s World Champion, whether that be Willow Nightingale, Mercedes Martinez or Deonna Purrazzo. Rosa VS Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Princess of Princess Champion, Shoko Nakajima. Those would be amazing for AEW’s Summer stretch.
We got a great first qualifier for the Owen Hart Tournament, Toni Storm is definitely a great get, and she’ll get past the crap WWE RawDown put her through. Not sure if she’ll win the whole thing, but she’s gonna have a great run. Pretty sure Hayter beats Skye on Rampage but it’ll probably be another great showcase. And just about any big name in the singles division for the men are gonna be in the tournament. All these matches are going to be great to fill out Dynamites and Rampages from now through May, and it’s going to be a great inaugural tournament on both the men’s and women’s ends.
Good promos from Darby and Andrade to set things up tonight, but I feel like they could’ve held off on announcing the tables match. That could’ve, would’ve, should’ve been something left for after the awesome main event from Darby and Andrade. But of course Andrade has his team help him and Andrade wins. Hardys fight off AFO, thus the tables match we were told about, that is going to be wild. And if Darby didn’t get the win here, I wonder if he and Andrade up things for Double or Nothing, like a No Disqualification that then leads the winner to a title.
My Score: 9/10

“Hey, Dark order. I’m gonna give you a chance to fight for your lives. I’m gonna give you a chance to fight for your dreams. I’m gonna give you a chance to live your dreams, fight for your careers. Everything you’ve worked for for the last five years in AEW, I’m gonna give you a chance right now. Hey ref, you work for me, get your ass in the ring. We’re going to put the Trios Championships on the line again, right now! Ring the bell!” The fans boo but apparently Moxley has the power to do this. Can Uno, Reynolds & Silver turn the tides to take the power back?
AEW World Trios Championships: Blackpool Combat Club VS The Dark Order!
The bell rings, Silver stands, but Claudio UPERCUTS! Claudio fires fists on Silver, the ref counts but he also has to reprimands Marina for getting too close to Uno and Reynolds.

Winners: The Blackpool Combat Club, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)
Yuta adds on CATTLE MUTILATION! The record books will say BCC won two matches in a row, but we all know how they pulled it off. And then the mugging just continues as Moxley steps on Uno and Pac kicks away on Silver. Reynolds continues to suffer the arm submission while Moxley makes Uno take a seat. Uno SLAPS Moxley!

Top Flight also rise back up, but it is a little too late. Orange Cassidy finds his way out here, is he going to reconsider what Garcia told him during Collision?
AEW Continental Championship: Kazuchika Okada VS Kyle O’Reilly!
The Elite is still golden after WrestleDream, but The Rainmaker might’ve taken the wrong tactic with the Violent Artist. Will Kyle kick Okada off the throne? Or will it continue to reign in AEW?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really elite around here!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They feel things out, then Okada backs away. The fans rally for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this a match. Okada and Kyle tie up, Okada waistlocks but Kyle wrenches to wristlock. Okada rolls, wrenches back, and the fans duel. Kyle squats to then spin and drop toehold!

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but also Beast Mortos. They wanted to talk with him, but are mostly feeding him fried chicken… Roddy says, “BEEEAST! Thanks for joining us.” Bennett gives Mortos more meat to eat, and Roddy says they really need to talk. What is going on with Mortos? Something seems off. Mortos growls but Bennett says no, he’s just confused. Mortos taking out Hologram like that? Not cool. Taven can’t believe LFI got Mortos to wear a polo shirt! Mortos never even wore a shirt when hanging out with The Kingdom. Not cool! And what is Mortos doing fisting (with) two other dudes? Really not cool.
But the most disappointing thing of all, is that this is all happening without The Kingdom! Roddy says they’re not mad, just disappointed. The Kingdom leaves but did Mortos even care what they said while chowing down on meat? If they keep trying to get Mortos back, will LFI make The Kingdom one of their targets?
AEW Women’s World Championship Title Eliminator: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
While there were some legitimate complaints made by the AEW Women’s World Champion, she doesn’t really help herself when she looks down on the rest of the roster. Will The Glamour continue to grow her ego here tonight? Or will Anna prove she’s the real Star of the Show?

Winner: Anna Jay, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW Women’s World Champion)
Mariah is speechless! She thought Anna was unworthy, and yet that arrogance is why Anna won! And Tony Khan calls in to say we don’t have to wait long! Two weeks from now, Collision in Philadelphia, Mariah May VS Anna Jay, with the title on the line! Will Mariah avenge herself in the rematch? Or will there truly be a new Star of the Show?
My Thoughts:
A great Battle of the Belts, especially with the events of Collision spilling over. BCC beating down Top Flight, fighting Dark Order, and then having another match was all great stuff to really get heat on them. And speaking of the Collision crossover, great bit with Garcia & Private Party rushing out there, and then Cassidy eventually going out there once BCC was on the retreat. As we saw for Collision, the other Faces are expecting Cassidy to step up but he is reluctant to, given his history with the various members of BCC. At some point, The Conglomeration members might also think Cassidy should step up, and he’ll be compelled to fight.
Speaking of Conglomeration, great match from Okada VS O’Reilly, and I do appreciate them pushing this close to the time limit. Great win for Okada, and his card is wide open now, ready to face just about anyone. LFI had a very good promo to follow up what they did on Collision, but also to show Hologram is not out of the woods with them. Hologram might even be the third man alongside FTR to fight the full LFI. Mortos and Undisputed Kingdom also had a great promo together, very funny stuff. That’s also a Six Man Tag we could see, and just about any trio could come out of this to challenge BCC next.
Really good first showing for the #MurderMachines, Archer & Cage, but that combo Blackout Powerbomb needs some work to smooth out the wrinkles. I feel like they’ll be stepping to Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara for the ROH World Tag Team Championships first, given The Bucks are Heels. And great main event from Mariah VS Anna. I am very pleased to see they had Anna win here. It works for Mariah’s character as her arrogance cost her, and now we’ll get an even better title match in a couple weeks. I don’t see Anna winning that one, though, because again, we need to see Mina Shirakawa work her way to the title so she and Mariah can fight it out.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Regarding the AEW World Championship, nothing has changed. Nothing is different. Nothing changed last Saturday night, nothing has changed since the moment I arrived in AEW. Nobody ‘owns’ that belt, it doesn’t belong to anybody. It’s not for Bryan Danielson or anybody else. It’s for the position that only man has sat in that chair. That is me. Somebody spent a lot of money on that belt and it’s really supposed to mean something. It’s just gold and leather, but when I look at it, it is the symbol of everything I hate in this sport. It’s the symbol of everything I’ve been fighting against for years. Everything that AEW was not supposed to be.
“If nobody else is going to say it, I’ll say it. Nothing comes for free in this world. But tonight, we give this Top Flight a gift. A shot at the World Trios Championships, won’t that be so great? They think they’re gonna hit a button, ride up an elevator to the top of this sport, that’s not how this works. There is no elevator. You are standing at the foot of a mountain, and the mountain looks like this.” Moxley points to Pac, Claudio and Yuta in turn. “We will win this war, cuz our cause is just, and our power is pure, and our enemies are weak in spirit. It’s a big night for you, Top Flight, but it is not your coronation. Tonight is a public execution.”
The Maniac paces, and the warning has been issued. Will Action, Darius & Dante still go through with the match?
Ricochet VS AR Fox!
The One & Only wants everyone to understand that to be The Best in the World, you don’t say it, you show it! So then will Ricochet show everyone in AEW and around the world that he IS the best? Or will he just be a guest star on the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. Ricochet trips Fox, rolls him to whip him, but Fox reverses.

Ricochet says he has yet to be pinned or submitted in this ring. And that’s funny, because there’s someone who keeps putting their nose in his business. The fans should know who. Konosuke Takeshita, it doesn’t matter where you go. You may be champion, but you can go to Canada, Mexico, Japan, or somewhere in the US. Wherever Takeshita goes, Ricochet will be waiting to kick his ass!
Ricochet says it doesn’t matter who has his back, from Don Callis to Kyle Fletcher, because Ricochet will knock down opponent after opponent until he gets Takeshita 1v1 in this ring to become the NEW International Champion! The fans rally behind Ricochet, and Ricochet knows they know. They know that Ricochet isn’t from this planet, he is Outta This World! The fans fire up, but when and where will The One & Only take on The Alpha?
Daniel Garcia & Private Party speak.
Red Death says Moxley and his crew wanna come in and take over AEW. Then they’ve got The Young Bucks & Jack Perry just sitting back, letting it happen. They act like it’s all okay. It’s not. And the thing is, The Elite isn’t willing to handle the responsibility it takes to truly handle those championships. But good news! He and Private Party will relieve them of their duties. Garcia says Zay to talk to ’em. Kassidy says the word isn’t complicit, it is complacent. The Bucks have become complacent cowards! Private Party will not sit back and watch BCC take over AEW. AEW changed Kassidy’s life!
Zay would rather die fighting than watch AEW go down in flames. And if Private Party has to lead by example by beating The Elite’s asses and become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, then so be it! Marq Quen says there you have it. He can’t paint a better picture. And before they beat The Elite’s asses on Dynamite, there’s business to handle tonight. Stockton, the mission continues, let’s get it! Garcia, Quen & Zay are ready, but will the Premier Athletes stand in their way?
Kris Statlander VS Harley Cameron!
The Galaxy’s Greatest is now #BornAgainKristen, and she wants to return to what made her great in the first place. But will she keep her comeback going? Or will this wacky Aussie show one of her many talents is winning?

That’s not the end, she scoops and tucks Harley, STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Kris wins but she’s not done as she grabs the mic. “One thing about me is that I am never afraid to test myself and prove that I am THE toughest and THE strongest here in AEW.” The fans cheer that! Kris says one person has been a real pain in the ass. So Kamille, Kris is calling you out! Time Kamille finally met her match! And as for Mercedes Mone, Kris will make sure you have a front row seat. The Galaxy’s Greatest wants to take on The Brickhouse, but will she make it through that obstacle to then get at The CEO’s TBS Championship?
Six Man Tag: Daniel Garcia & Private Party VS The Premier Athletes!
We just heard from Red Death and friends and they are in a fighting mood. But of course we have to hear from “Smart” Mark Sterling… “Folks, the Premier Athletes have decided to take care of these three punk kids for all the disrespect that they’ve been showing our great EVPs, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson. And of course we’re doing this for an opportunity at what I do best, and that’s climb the corporate ladder!” Now the people here in Stockton are surely just smart enough to play along. When he says, “Athletes!” you say, “Rule!” Nothing else! Hands in. Ohhh~…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling isn’t that smart is he?
The trios sort out, Tony Nese starts against Isiah Kassidy, and they circle. They feel things out, but then Ariya Daivari gets in to CLOBBER Zay! The fans boo as Nese & Daivari stomp Zay.

Jake “The Snake” Roberts speaks.
“What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. When Jake Roberts tells you something, you know you can take it to heart. Trust me when It ell you, you cannot outrun the bull. Outrunners, you can run but you cannot hide. Rules and bones were meant to be broken. That’s the reason they made them. Trust me. We’re just here to tear the hell outta everything. That’s what you gotta think about when you step into the ring with us.” When you mess with the bull, you get the horns, so will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd be gored through by La Faccion Ingobernable?
Orange Cassidy VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
Mark Briscoe is facing Chris Jericho in a Ladder War on Dynamite, and Kyle O’Reilly is facing Kazuchika Okada later tonight on Battle of the Belts. Will Freshly Squeezed earn himself a golden opportunity? Wait, Jacked Jameson tells all the “fat morons and skinny idiots” to shut up. He is the Shredded Savage, and these monsters are Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder! But hold up. What he sees in the ring is a member of The Conglomeration, a team featured on every show this company has. Meanwhile, Iron Savages must have been renamed The Melatonin Savages, because they keep getting slept on!
So tonight, the flavor of the Savage Sauce is going to be Orange Crush, because Bronson is gonna crush Orange! They are sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the Low T meat-riders to #TIDDYCITY! Cassidy just sighs, and Jameson keeps talking trash that Bronson’s gonna kill ’em! The bell does ring, Cassidy dodges Bronson, and hits an ORANGE PUNCH on Jameson!

All that trash talk and what’d it get Jameson? Bronson got beat like he wasn’t even there! Cassidy has win number 175, if you can believe it. Will he finally make it to that world championship level before he hits 200?
Jamie Hayter VS Brooke Havok!
An Open Challenge was put out last night on Rampage, though it was directed mostly at Mrs. Superbad, Penelope Ford. Surprise, surprise, Penelope chose not to answer it. Instead, Brooke is looking to wreak havoc in Stockton, will she bring down a former AEW Women’s World Champion? Or will she learn that Hayter Hits Hard?
The bell rings, the fans rally up, and the two fist bump to show there’s respect. they tie up, Hayter waistlocks and SLAMS Havok. Havok fights up, fires elbows, then runs, but gets run over!

Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
It was probably over with that Haytbreaker on overdrive, but Hayter punctuates the victory. Wait, Penelope is on the tron. “Oh, hey, Jamie, are you really confused why I attacked you? I’ll tell you why. Because unlike you, most of us have to work for our opportunities. Do you even know who my partner was in my last TV match? You! And you wanna talk about backstabbing b*tches? Well you’re the backstabbing b*tch! I was out for two years, do you know what that does to someone’s mind? And not once did you even check in on me. Meanwhile, you were gone for a year and you come back to a damn parade at Wembley Stadium.”
Penelope says too many have forgotten who she is, especially Hayter. But Penelope is back, and she’ll make sure what two years of pain and anger really looks like. Penelope is here to take everting that Hayter cares about. And she won’t let anyone forget who Penelope Ford is again. Hayter says okay, fine! But will Hayter make sure Penelope regrets calling her out?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Private Party.
Lexy Nair is with the winning side tonight and says that was a phenomenal win. Say that again, say that again! What a PHENOMENAL win! Yes, that’s good! Wait, Cassidy steps in. Garcia says he’s been hoping to talk with him. Cassidy sees what it is like out there, yeah? It isn’t about being a hero, it isn’t about being tough guys. It is about holding each other accountable. They are coming to Cassidy because he’s been there before, he beat all these guys before, and it’s time to step up. Cassidy says yeah, he’s been there before. And every time he steps into the ring with one of those guys, it changes him.
Cassidy says he is no leader. He’s just not that guy. Freshly Squeezed heads out, Garcia is disappointed. But will things change when push comes to shove?
Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Atlantis Jr!
The last time these two met, it was June of this year when The Protostar defended the ROH World Television Championship against the CMLL second generation star.

While out of action, she went home to Mexico for International Girls’ Day, then she went to London this past weekend to win a championship.

Sammy Guevara speaks.
“I’ve been here for the past five years. I take a lot of pride in being called an AEW Original. Because of this place, my life changed for the better. So the best way I know how to repay AEW is to make sure every single time I get in that ring, I give you a moment you’ve never seen before. For me, it’s always the same. But the way I get there needs to be different. The way I realize my destiny is by going against the best. And one of the best just had a hell of a debut on Dynamite. He’s a man I watched since I was a kid, so I went to Tony Khan personally and I asked for this match.
This Wednesday, for the first-time ever, live on Dynamite, it’ll be Sammy Guevara VS Shelton Benjamin! Get ready for another moment.” The Spanish God is on his way back, but will he be ready for the Standard of Excellence?

Marina TOSSES Leila up, and Collision ends with more mayhem! Who will ever stop the reign of terror that Moxley has started?
My Thoughts:
A really good Collision, with the only real filler being The House of Black winning their squash match. Great match from Ricochet VS Fox with a great win from Ricochet, and a pretty good promo for him to call out Takeshita. If they want to sell what he said, Ricochet should go to the same other promotions Takeshita visits. Like if Takeshita goes back home to Japan and DDT Pro, have Ricochet go after him after a match. And as far as having a match, this should culminate at Full Gear to really stretch out Takeshita trying to avoid Ricochet until he just can’t. Kyle VS Atlantis was also a great match, and great win for Kyle. Kyle saying he’ll tell all on Wednesday is of course going to set up Kyle VS Ospreay, perhaps also for Full Gear.
Very good match from Kris VS Harley, which Kris of course wins. Kris calling out Kamille is great, and a little annoyed they’re making us wait for Fright Night when Kris VS Kamille could just happen next week to give us Kris VS Mone at Fright Night instead. But whatever, this is the usual Tony Khan Women’s Division pacing, because surely Kris VS Mone is what he wants for Full Gear. That does make sense, because for one, Mone as a character would want the big money moment on a PPV, not on TV. And regardless of where/when it happens, it is hard to say that even Face Statlander beats Mone for the TBS Championship.
Harley also had a good moment with Thunder Rosa. Rosa knocking Harley on her ass was great, and Rosa VS Harley will be fun stuff. It can definitely help Rosa get back up and into title conversations, and she should be going for Mone and the TBS title because chasing that history of “first woman to hold both AEW belts” is some good stuff. Meanwhile, Hayter demolished Havok, and she’ll have really good stuff with Penelope Ford, and on a personal level, I do feel for Penelope missing two YEARS of action. Penelope probably wins a match from cheating, but then loses to Hayter in the rematch so that Hayter can go back for a championship.
Great match from LFI VS Outrunners, but the cheating spots LFI pulled off were a bit clunky. LFI of course wins to spark more interaction with FTR, and LFI VS FTR will be great stuff whenever they do it. And then great stuff in this larger story of “Who runs AEW?” Garcia & Private Party had a great promo to call out The Elite, they had a really good match with The Premier Athletes and therefore a really good win over them. Cassidy squashing Bronson while also knocking down Jameson was good stuff. Then Garcia asking Cassidy to take a stand against BCC was good stuff. Cassidy has good reason for wanting to avoid BCC, but Cassidy’s role in this story is now making that random promo with Jerry Lynn work out.
And then speaking of the BCC, very good promo from Moxley to open, and great main event with Top Flight. BCC of course won, but the beatdown that bleeds over into Battle of the Belts is actually pretty good stuff. BCC are just agents of violence and chaos, and they booked the third hour, so might as well segue from one show right into the next.
My Score: 8.8/10
