Winner: Leyla Hirsch, by pinfall

Well, that wasn’t exactly legit! Leyla had help from a little friend hiding under the ring. Will Leyla use whatever she has to in order to continue towards the top?

Wait, Red Velvet rushes out. Velvet was the mutual friend between these two, but she’s clearly siding with Kris over this one. Will the Chef have to be the one to set Leyla right?

 

Tony Schiavone goes to the ring.

He says tonight, we have a very special guest. Let’s bring that man out right now! Wait, the music and the tron! Kenny Omega?! Nope. Just Don Callis. Callis of course represents The Cleaner in all things as his adviser, but he completely trolled everyone using Omega’s theme song. Callis says, “What? Were you expecting somebody else?” DUH! But sorry, we don’t get Omega tonight. Tonight, we will listen to Callis! Fans tell him to STFU. Callis doesn’t know why the fans are complaining, he and Omega gave us the best world title run in the history of this business!

Multiple title matches, multiple match of the year candidates, multiple five star matches! And all while Omega had catastrophic injuries! And Callis blames the FANS for that! They couldn’t get enough Omega! “One more five-star match, please! One more world title, Kenny!” The fans sucked the life outta Omega! And Callis was thinking of having Omega here, but when he saw what was on the card, he said no! He couldn’t stand the level of violence on this card! A ladder match, Moxley VS Danielson ripping each other’s heads off, and a dog collar match! But it’ll be a great night for The Elite, as Callis expects the Young Bucks to win those AEW World Tag Team titles!

And even Adam Cole has been doing a great job for Kenny. In fact, he’s even created a group within the group. Some might call it a sleeper cell or something, who knows. But we all understand that if Omega were here, HE would be winning the world title in the main event. But since Omega isn’t here, Callis is very confident Adam Cole will be your NEW AEW World Champion! And Callis thinks that’s great! Adam Cole will be a fantastic transitional champion, up until the second Omega walks back through those doors and takes his place as the AEW World Champion! Because as we know, there is only one diamond in this business, and his name is Kenny BAH GAWD Omega.

Callis has stated his opinion and his prediction, but will the Best Bout Machine be able to fulfill everything Callis promised?

 

The Buy In – Hook VS QT Marshall!

Team Taz’s Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil does things his way, and The Factory doesn’t like that. Speaking of, The Factory walks with QT as he has a mic. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned over my successful career, it’s that when you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.” Fans chant for Hook already, and QT says as much as he doesn’t want to have do this, as “that sensation” is one of QT’s prized students, QT is going to teach Hook what being cold-hearted is really all about. Big words, but will QT be able to back them up?

The bell rings and fans fire up even more for Hook. QT is annoyed, he ties up with Hook and Hook gets around to get a leg and trip QT. Fans cheer as Hook stares QT down.

Tony Schiavone is on stage.

He’s holding a clipboard, and says this is the best part of being part of AEW. This is a contract signing right here live! A year ago, here at Revolution, AEW signed a great competitor in Christian Cage. Now we sign a young man in the formative years of his career. Schiavone called this man’s matches not too long ago. So it is with great pride that we see The Realest, SHANE “SWERVE” STRICKLAND! Swerve swaggers out on stage and fans are fired up! Schiavone says it is great to be working with Swerve again, and Swerve signs on the dotted line!

Swerve takes a moment to soak it all in before he speaks. “Ey yo. The Real is back. I can go on and on about all the dream matches I’m gonna have in AEW. I can go on and on about all the titles I’m eventually gonna take. You’re a witness of it. But all I really gotta say is I’ve got a question to ask all y’all.” But fans already chant, “WHO’S HOUSE? SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve asks, “Whose house?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” “Whose house?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” “I love you, too.” Swerve is now All Elite, how long will it take for his house to have gold?

Dog Collar Match: CM Punk VS MJF!

Best in the World, Salt of the Earth. We’ve seen the parallels, heard the origin stories, and for a moment, believed there was still respect between them. But MJF, still following in his childhood hero’s footsteps, pulled the wool over Punk’s eyes and took advantage of his kindness. There’s no going back now, and there might not even be anything of these two left! Does Maxwell Jacob Friedman finally prove he’s better than the Best in the World?

Hardy criticizes Andrade for that but he dumps Sting out. Hardy ROCKS Sting with forearms and then bumps him off apron. Andrade throws Darby out while Sting fights back! Sting DECKS Hardy! Andrade springboards, but Darby swats him down!

Sting stalks Hardy, Lambert looks disappointed. Sammy puts Kassidy in the ring, Sting whips Hardy into railing! MARQ QUEN appears and he THROWS a chair into Sammy’s face! Sting SNAKE EYES Hardy off railing while Quen drags Sammy around. Quen sits Sammy on steep steps as Kassidy climbs. But Sammy throws Quen over railing! Kassidy hurries but Sammy throws him over!

Sammy hits back, brings Kassidy in, SUPER SPANISH FLY through the tables!!!!

Fans lose their minds as these two almost missed the landing zone! But meanwhile, Butcher & Blade have set up multiple tables in a stack! Sting gets up while Hardy rains down on Darby.

Winners: Sting, Darby Allin & Sammy Guevara, by pinfall

The better Adam did win, because that is Hangman Adam Page!! The Cowboy holds up the title, having proven himself once again! And he even shakes Cole’s hand to show his respect. Who will be next for Hangman to go to the limit with?


My Thoughts:

This was the biggest AEW PPV, it was the bloodiest AEW PPV, and I dare say it was the BEST AEW PPV ever! Once again, AEW even makes their preshow awesome with three great matches that could’ve easily been on a Dynamite or Rampage. A great Heel win for Leyla, despite the promos in the build sounding like Kris was the Heel. A great win for Hook on the biggest night in his career. And a great Six Man Tag for House of Black VS Death Triangle & Erick, but clearly this isn’t done until Fenix can be part of the feud again. And then I noticed throughout the night, there were a lot of Tombstone piledrivers. Perhaps AEW is shouting out Undertaker since he’s going into WWE’s Hall of Fame?

Jericho VS Kingston was a great choice for opener, and it was booked in a great way given Jericho’s disrespect towards Kingston. Kingston winning was the right move, and in a way, so was Jericho not shaking his hand. They could leave it at that, they could escalate for the Spring going towards Double or Nothing, either path would work great for Kingston. The Triple Threat Tag was amazing stuff, and the finish wasn’t at all what I expected. Jurassic Express cleaned up and got a legit win, that is big for Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus. I’m thinking a team like Santana & Ortiz will step up next for a great 2v2 feud.

The Face of the Revolution Ladder Match was also awesome, and for just a few seconds, I thought Cassidy was going to win because, for one, just how hilarious it’d be to see him with the “brass ring” inner tube. But in the end, Wardlow won as I expected. I just wish Starks didn’t have to take that ladder bomb. He has neck issues, AEW, why would you make him take such a move? We all knew Jade was going to stay undefeated, but she basically had win entrance to make it clear to those not paying attention. Tay put up a good fight, but Jade continues on, maybe she’ll take on Anna Jay next.

Holy crap that Dog Collar Match. “Bloody” barely covers it, that went above anything I could’ve expected. Masterful storytelling from the moment Punk made his entrance bringing back his ROH theme and ring gear. Wardlow played his part perfectly, too, that was even better than my idea of him clobbering MJF with the TNT title. Punk wins, MJF will have beef with Wardlow, maybe we get MJF VS Wardlow at Double Or Nothing. And there’s a good chance the TNT title will be part of it so MJF can literally take that title off Wardlow. The AEW Women’s World title match was very good but had the misfortune of following Punk VS MJF.

I will say, Britt’s getting good Heel Heat even from me over using her helpers yet again. But also getting the news that we’ll have Hirsch VS Rosa, winner goes to St. Patrick’s Day Slam, did they really rob Rosa a PPV win to give her a title win on Dynamite? Seems a bit lame to me, but I suppose Rosa getting the title is the main thing AEW wants us to focus on. Moxley VS Bryan was another bloody fight, and in a very subtle Taker reference, that triangle hold jackknife was how Taker once got beat by Kurt Angle. But anyway, them brawling and WILLIAM REGAL showing up to sort them out was amazing. I hope Regal is the manager in the faction that these guys are creating.

That Tornado Trios match was wild in a very good way, but I really feared for those guys during those table spots. At least Sammy kinda learned his lesson from his Last Man Standing with Matt Hardy a couple years ago, in how to line up tables properly for spots like that. The Faces winning here really surprised me given a Face won the title on Rampage. But I suppose this is more for the AHFO story of Hardy leaving and Andrade assuming full control. And then in the main event, Adam Page VS Adam Cole was everything we knew it’d be and more, and I loved how the fans had all those Adam chants. When a crowd is good, it really adds to things.

Hangman retains, as I figured, and given how Callis was talking crap on Cole while hyping Omega’s return, we are just one moment away from The Elite OG VS The Undisputed Era while Hangman defends against any number of guys on the roster.

My Score: 9.7/10

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

While Pac goes down with an Achilles injury, The Death Riders will still defend their AEW World Trios Championships using some Freebird Rules! Jon Moxley steps in, will he, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta keep the reign of terror going? Or can The Opps free the trios titles from their death grip?

 

FTR is here!

Speaking of those titles, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are here after failing to win the AEW World Trios Championships, and then brutalizing The Rated R Superstar! Adam Copeland had to be stretchered out of the arena in Philadelphia on Sunday, and FTR gets booed by Springfield, Massachusetts here tonight. Cash has a mic to say, “What happened Sunday, that wasn’t an easy decision for me. And despite what you might think, it was not premeditated. Adam Copeland has been one of my best friends, he has been my mentor, for 15 YEARS, before I even really knew Dax Harwood!”

The fans boo but Cash says the more Dax talked, the more sense he made. The more sense it made, the more it pissed Cash off, because he wanted Dax to be wrong. But Cash could feel it, he could feel that he was wrong. The more he watched the moves Cope made backstage, the more he moved against FTR’s careers, the more Cash understood that Cope only cared about Cope. Cope held FTR down! He held them down to lift himself up! So in Philly, when Cash saw Dax sitting here, Cope laying here, in that moment… It just clicked. Cash knew what had to happen, and that he’d have to be the one to do it!

The fans boo more but Cash says Cope may have trained him as a young man, but that’s all Cope ever saw! That helpless kid! And Cash is not that anymore. Cope did not respect Cash as a man! And if you disrespect him, you have to pay. FTR are living legends! They will be treated as such! Dax says he knows that it is the “cool” thing to do, so you feel like you’re somebody, you feel like you’re involved. It’s cool to boo FTR when they talk, that’s “cool” in 2025. The fans didn’t reach their dreams, so now they make their own. But just let Dax say this one thing and then they can do this charade.

“Last week, I saw a sign in the crowd that said, ‘Why, FTR, Why?’ And as cliche as that is, I though to myself, ‘Well, why not?’ Instead of asking us why, you should be thanking us! You should be thanking us because we gave Adam Copeland everything he wanted. Adam Copeland was begging for relevancy in 2025 at the expense of the ABSOLUTE BEST TAG TEAM IN THIS WORLD, and we gave it to him!” The fans chant, “You Sold Out!” and Dax asks back, “How did I sell out, you idiots? I didn’t make any money off of this.” But over the last week, Dax has been wracking his brain on what to say over what he could say to the fans and be justified.

And then it clicked! Dax doesn’t care if anyone agrees with FTR! What FTR did was right. The fans boo, but Dax says even though FTR doesn’t own anyone an explanation, let’s have fun here. They’ll run down the list. For four MONTHS, they waited. Four months, nothing to do, they were irrelevant for four months. The only thing planned for them was to be Cope’s new Edgeheads. They put FTR’s career on hold so Cope could chase his glory days and win one more world title, holding on to a sliver of hope that he might still be the man. Dax tells Adam, “We’ve won ten world titles across seven worldwide brands, and YOU want us to take a backseat to you!?

“You’re selfish! Too damn selfish to see where the issue is! And I wanted nothing more, I wanted nothing more than Adam Copeland to end his career side-by-side with FTR and ride off into the sunset. But just like every wrestler in Adam Copeland’s position, you’re TOO DAMN SELFISH!” The fans boo, Dax tells them they paid money to see him so sit down and shut up. Just work out even once, buddy! Dax understands there are a lot of people in the back not happy with FTR. And that there are some people out here not happy with them. Tony Schiavone, come on over here. The fans boo, but Dax promises Schiavone that he just wants to talk.

Nigel isn’t so sure, but Schiavone says he has things he needs to say, too. The fans are torn, but Schiavone goes to the ring. Dax tells Schiavone to be careful now, don’t fall getting in. But this week on Dynamite, Schiavone had some choice words for FTR. Funny that they were hundreds of miles away at the time. But now, face to face, would Schiavone like to say something? Schiavone says yes, and he says that they were wrong to do that to Cope. The fans cheer, Schiavone points out that when FTR arrived, the fans all loved FTR. FTR revived tag team wrestling. But in one fell swoop, they turned their backs on the man who helped them in their career.

Dax stops Schiavone there, laughing that off. So there was one other thing Schiavone said, and he doesn’t quite remember. Dax is pretty sure it had to do with Dax’s family? Yes… Schiavone says Dax’s daughter, a wonderful young lady, Straight A student… How did she feel on Monday when her friends told her that her dad turned on one of his best friends? Dax paces, and then he drags Schiavone into position! The fans boo, but Nigel stands up! FTR sees that, and the fans cheer as Nigel storms off commentary! Nigel gets in the ring to get Schiavone to safety, and he also told Schiavone he knew this would happen.

FTR warns Nigel now, but here comes Daniel Garcia! He steps to them, but FTR SHOVES him down! Then they realize what they did, and they apologize. They don’t have anything against Garcia, they’re sorry. They help Garcia stand up, then they hug Garcia…? The fans boo, and Garcia has no idea what to make of this. FTR leaves, Schiavone & Nigel go back to commentary, and Garcia makes sure Schiavone is okay. The fans cheer Garcia, Schiavone says he had to say what he said. Will the Top Guys be the absolute worst from now on?

 

Toni Storm speaks.

“Megan Bayne is a monster. That woman has so much thigh meat, I thought I was being mugged on Thanksgiving. Nevertheless, I don’t need to tell you that this whore you all adore, this slut you can’t rebut, this tramp is still the champ! But enough of this gay banter. The Owen Hart Cup has begun, and the winner goes on to All In: Texas for a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship. Ladies, good luck. But this is a timeless cafe, and I’m gonna bake up the biggest batch of slop tarts you’ve ever seen! Billie Starkz, you Johnny Come Lately, milk-breathed, knobby kneed little brat. I will make a woman out of you.

“Harley Cameron. Call me Jim Henson, because I will wear you on my wrist and make you sing Rainbow Connection.” Schiavone? Toni says that’s the wrong slide, next! “Mercedes Money, our CEO. What an unfortunate nickname. I will drain your 401K and put you so deep into recession, you’ll have to drink my bath water. Kris Statlander. My God, what a woman! Athena. You may be the ROH Forever Champion, but you’ll last about two minutes with me. And Jamie Hayter, take my advice: No money has ever been made from dressing like you’re in a different era.

“And as for me, I could sit at home and watch this entire tournament eating veal parmesana, but that’s not the kind of woman I am, yet. Nevertheless, at Double or Nothing, I will be there, I will be watching, I will be sweating, and I will always be… TIMELESS~!” The champion has put all of her contenders on notice, but who will even make it out of the first round of this star-studded tournament?

Billie put on another incredible fight, but it was still not enough to reach that next level! Hayter Hits Hard, but will she have to hit even harder going up against Kris Statlander?

 

The Death Riders speak.

Claudio Castagnoli says, “When we started this war, we fully expected casualties. But we do not mourn, because only in death does duty end. Now, we’re not gonna hide. We’re still gonna be front and center! So  Joe, yes, we’re gonna accept that challenge!” Claudio rants in German, then says at Spring Breakthru, it’s on. They do not concede territory! Marina Shafir holds up Pac’s belt, and Moxley says, “What a learning experience this will be for generational punk ass play wrestlers who don’t wanna show up to work. There’s plenty of money, championships, glory, victory, and it’s all on the frontline.

“If you want it, that’s where you gotta be. You gotta step in, step up, put yourself in harm’s way. Samoa Joe, Shibata-san, you guys know that. What’re you teaching sweet young Hook? Hook… Don’t worry. Relax. It’s the biggest match of your life. But trust me… Chicks dig scars.” Wheeler Yuta smirks, and shows his scar. Will the Death Riders find The Opps are in fact lacking?

Backstage interview with FTR.

Lexy Nair finds Cash & Dax on their way out and asks for a moment. After what they did to Cope- Wait, 2Point0 barges in! Matt Menard & Angelo Parker excuse Lexy, and they say FTR must think they’re pretty slick. They’ve got the wool pulled over Danny’s eyes. But 2Point0 sees through the BS, and they’ll be damned if they let FTR put Garcia in the same position as Cope. FTR try to speak but Menard says no, it’s their time to talk. A year and a half, Menard has been waiting for this. A YEAR AND A HALF, and FTR finally exposed themselves! FTR thinks they can do this to Garcia? Dax tries to speak but Menard tells him to shut his gaddamn mouth!

This is 2Point0’s time! Understand that they won’t sit by and see what happened to Cope happen to Garcia! FTR asks if they want to fight. Yeah, they do! Okay, FTR will fight 2Point0 tonight, with Garcia ringside. Garcia is a grown man, he can make his own decisions. #TopGuysOut.

FTR VS 2Point0!

Dax & Cash want to still be Daniel Garcia’s friends, but Menard & Parker have been Garcia’s friends this whole time. Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange have always felt something was off, will they finally take the Top Guys out?

Speaking of Garcia, he makes his way out, as invited by FTR. He still seems to be upset and unsure given FTR lashing out earlier, but he’s still ringside.

2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Athena VS Harley Cameron!

The LONGEST REIGNING champion in ROH history, and yes that is champion bar none, male or female, is finally getting her shot at history here in AEW. She could very well become a new Double Champion should she win all the way to Double or Nothing and then All In: Texas. But she must first get past one wild Aussie! Will Athena #FeelTheWrath of Harley Cameron? Or will the Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, simply add Harley’s name to the long, long list of fallen opponents?

Athena RAMS into Harley, RAMS into her again, then RAMS again! Athena pushes Harley along the ropes but the ref reprimands.

Athena ROCKS Harley, but Harley ROCKS Athena! Athena brings Harley up but Harley ROCKS her again! Athena clamps on a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Then she suplexes high and hard! Athena kips up, fires up, and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns as Athena has Harley in a Bow ‘n’ Arrow stretch! Harley endures, pries at the facelock portion, but Athena thrashes Harley. Harley pops free to a cover, TWO! Athena knees low, whips, but Harley reverses to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up, Harley brings Athena up, but Athena shoves her away. SOBAT! LEG SWEEP! Athena runs, and SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO! Harley survives and Athena grows frustrated. Athena stalks Harley to ropes, KICKS her in the side, then brings her up to scoop and carry her! Athena puts Harley in the Tree of Woe, then KICKS! KICKS! And KICKS!

The ref counts, Athena backs off, and Athena cheers herself on. Athena runs, but Harley sits up over the sweep! Harley KICKS from upside-down, then wrenches to NECKBREAKER! The fans fire up, Harley runs up, and LARIATS! ENZIGIRI! Harley brings Athena up to BULLDOG HOTSHOT, and then Harley fires off on Athena in the ropes! The fans fire up, the ref counts, Harley shots “FEEL THE WRATH!” AX KICK! Athena falls back, Harley storms in and goes up the corner. Harley aims, leaps, CROSSBODY! Athena rolls through to scoop Harley! The fans fire up as Athena pops Harley up, but Harley fights! Harley RANAS!

Athena rises to SUPERKICK! The fans are torn, Athena springboards, but into a HAYMAKER!! Harley has Athena now, pump handle and SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!! Athena survives but Harley won’t give up! “This is Awesome!” as Harley and Athena both slowly rise. Harley fires up, brings Athena around, dragon sleeper for HER FINISHING- NO, Athena cartwheels free! Athena reels Harley in, Canadian Rack, but Harley slips free! Harley tilt-o-whirls and rolls Athena up, TWO!! Harley wrenches again, SOLE FOOD! Harley runs, but Athena pops her up, POWERBOMB! High stack, TWO, deadlift POWERBOMB!

Athena reels Harley back in, ATAXIA KNEE STRIKE!! Athena then climbs, Harley rises, O FACE!!! Cover, Athena wins!

Winner: Athena, by pinfall (advances to the next round)

Athena stays undefeated in any and all kinds of matches, and she holds up her ROH Women’s World Championship, as well as her spinner belt variant. But now she runs into Mercedes Mone, their battle set for Boston and the Dynamite edition of Spring Breakthru! Will Mone win in her hometown to head for Double or Nothing? Or will Athena derail the Money Train and be that much closer to a match in her hometown of Arlington, Texas?

 

Mercedes Mone speaks.

“Springfieeeeeld~! Sorry the Money Train skipped your pathetic town. But then next stop for me in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament is in my hometown of Boston. That’s right, it was a little over a year ago where I made my AEW debut in the City of Champions. It was in that very moment that I had the biggest dream of holding all the championship gold! And now the Money Train is only two stops away from All In: Texas. And Athena, you are just a speedbump on my track to success. The Forever ROH Champion, Athena, you are one of the very best of all time, and you proved that tonight against Harley Cameron.

“But you’re competing against me, Four Belts Mone, the greatest TBS Champion of all time. So this Wednesday at Dynamite, I am going to show you why Money Changes Everything. And the best woman will win, and that woman is me, darling.” Mone is ready, but will she put her money where her mouth is against the Fallen Goddess?

 

2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Konosuke Takeshita VS Brody King w/ Julia Hart!

Just last night for NJPW Windy City Riot, The Alpha just went toe-to-toe with The Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi, as part of the Ace Final Road series. And as big as that moment was, this could be even bigger! Konosuke wants to fulfill Don Callis’ prophecy of a “Proto-shita” finals at Double or Nothing, will he be one step closer to realizing that dream match? Or will the King of Death end The Alpha right here and now?

The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two tie up, are in a deadlock, and Brody powers Konosuke to a corner. The ref counts, Brody lets off slowly, but Konosuke avoids the chop! Konosuke headlocks, Brody powers up and out, and they RAM shoulders! Neither man falls and the fans fire up! Brody swings, Konosuke dodges to come back and ROCK Brody! Brody comes back, runs through the CHOP, then RAMS Konosuke! Konosuke rebounds, ducks the lariat, and he returns again, but Brody’s CHOP knocks him down! The fans bark for Brody and he drags Konosuke up. Brody scoops, Konosuke slips free, but Brody fires elbows!

Brody switches to hit a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, and Brody has Konosuke in a corner. Brody CHOPS and the fans fire up! The Princess of the Black Throne smiles as Brody fires forearms and CHOPS! The fans fire up more as Brody whips corner to corner. Konosuke hits buckles hard then falls in a heap! Brody huffs ‘n’ puffs, runs up, but Konosuke avoids a senton! Konosuke goes up to SECOND ROPE SENTON! The fans fire up while Brody bails out. Brody is on the apron, Konosuke storms up to ROCK him! Konosuke ROCKS Brody again, then runs, but Brody BOOTS him! Konosuke drops to his knees, Brody hauls him up and suplexes!

Konosuke lands safe on the apron and BOOTS Brody! Then he reels Brody in! Brody fights with elbows, then fireman’s carries! Konosuke fights with elbows, but Brody still APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVERS!! Both men fall to the floor and the fans fire up! Julia also applauds while Brody rises. Brody shakes out the cobwebs, drags Konosuke up, and he puts Konosuke in the ring. The fans rally for Brody but Konosuke bails out the side. Brody barks, the fans join in, and Brody runs up, but Konosuke JUMP KNEES! Konosuke goes into the ring, builds speed, and he FLIES! Direct hit and down goes Brody! The fans lose their minds while Collision goes picture in picture!

Konosuke and Brody are both down, Julia coaches Brody while the fans rally. Konosuke stands Brody up but Brody CHOPS! Konosuke ROCKS Brody! Brody leans against the barriers, but Konosuke CHOPS him! And CHOPS! And then whips him hard into barriers! Brody slumps down and Konosuke refreshes the ring count. Julia again coaches Brody but Konosuke is back. Brody ROCKS Konosuke! Konosuke ROCKS Brody! Konosuke pushes Brody into the ring, stalks behind him, then snapmares. Konosuke clamps on a chinlock and squeezes tight. Brody endures, Julia rallies the fans, and Brody pries at the hold.

Konosuke thrashes Brody around, grinds him into the mat, but the fans continue to rally. Brody fights up, fires body shots, but Konosuke shifts his grip. Brody fights the lift with elbows, then runs, but into a mule kick! DDT! Konosuke snarls as he rises up, and now Konosuke goes up the corner! But Brody rises to CHOP first! Brody climbs up, CLUBS away on Konosuke’s back, then brings him to the very top! SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men writhe and the fans fire up! Collision returns to single picture, Julia and the fans rally again, and a standing count is climbing. Both men are down at 5 of 10, but crawling for corners.

Konosuke drags himself up, “This is Awesome!” as Brody rises. Brody barks, the fans bark with him, and Brody runs corner to corner, CANNONBALL! Cover, TWO! Konosuke survives and Brody snarls. Brody drags Konosuke up, reels him in, but Konosuke fights the lift! Brody ROCKS Konosuke, Konosuke ROCKS Brody! The forearms go back and forth, and Brody CHOPS! Konosuke sits down, but Brody stands him back up. Konosuke fires a forearm, but Brody fires back. Konosuke fires a flurry, then winds up, and ALPHA ELBOWS! Brody stays up!? And he ROCKS Konosuke! And CHOPS him! And CHOPS! And then puts some stank on the CHOP!!

Konosuke falls to his knees again and the fans fire back up! But Konosuke is up, ALPHA ELBOW!! Brody falls, Konosuke falls on him for a cover, TWO!! Konosuke is stunned, but he drags Brody up again. The fans fire up as Konosuke reels Brody in, and Brody fights the lift! Konosuke powers through, BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and Konosuke is beside himself! Konosuke shakes his head, stands back up, and he runs the ropes, LARIAT! Brody stays up!? Brody shakes his head, so Konosuke runs again, LARIAT! Brody still stays up, so Konosuke fires up and runs!

Brody SWATS the lariat to CHOP! ROLLING ELBOW! And then LARIAT! Cover, TWO?!? Konosuke survives, but Brody scoops! DANTE’S INFERNO!! Cover, TWO!?!? Konosuke survives, even Julia can’t believe it. Brody drags Konosuke up, reels him in, Canadian Rack, but Konosuke fights free! Konosuke runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, DOUBLE LARIATS collide! Konosuke scoops?! And tucks!? BASTARD DRIVER!! But then, wheelbarrow GERMAN SUPLEX!! The fans are thunderous as Konosuke brings out his full power! Brody stands, into the LARIATOOO~!! Cover, TWO!!! Brody survives that Stan Hanson level clothesline and the fans are electric!

Brody snarls, dares Konosuke to bring it, POWER DRIVER KNEE!! Brody stays up!? POWER DRIVE KNEE, AGAIN!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Brody survives again, but Konosuke won’t stop here! BLINDSIDE POWER DRIVE!! And then another POWER DRIVE!! Cover, KONOSUKE WINS!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall (advances to the next round)

From trumping The Ace to trumping a King, Konosuke is the hot hand in this tournament to be sure! The Alpha looks to the Owen Hart Cup and vows it will be his! But will he be able to overcome the #BillyGOAT, Will Ospreay? Or will the Aerial Assassin be the one going Double or Nothing?


My Thoughts:

A great, maybe even awesome episode of Collision here. Even with things being mostly obvious results, it was all top level stuff. Knight VS Fox was great stuff to help keep Knight sharp in AEW. Best of the Super Juniors starts in May, so he’s got about another month where he will still be hanging in AEW, Knight can surely get a couple more wins before going back to Japan for that tournament. Gates of Agony of course won their match, but I like that they called out the Hurt Syndicate. I feel like they won’t win the title match with them, but it’s good to see the Gates finally moving up to this level and not just languishing in ROH.

Great match from Bowens VS Blake, and a great win for Bowens. Very good promo from Bowens, I’m sure he’ll get more wins and maybe even go for a title. Well, depending on where the different midcard belts are going, Bowens might have to wait a minute, given the tease of Omega VS Okada as of late. Good promo from the Death Riders as they have adjust after Pac gets injured. At the same time, Hook should be alright from the dizziness and possible concussion, as nothing has been said further. Death Riders VS Opps for the trios titles will be great stuff, but even doing it for a themed episode doesn’t make me think Death Riders lose. It’d be nice if they did, though…

Good Heel promo from FTR, though it didn’t say much more than Dax did passive aggressively a couple weeks ago: Cope kept FTR from what FTR wanted, which glosses over how The Death Riders kinda got at them, too; and the loss at Dynasty was just the last straw. Them threatening Schiavone & Nigel was a nice touch, as was getting Garcia into the story given he teamed with them against Undisputed Kingdom. Menard & Parker stepping up for Garcia was good, and wow did Menard bleed for that match. FTR of course win, and then them brutalizing 2Point0 to bring out Undisputed Kingdom (well, I guess they’re trying Paragon, since Schiavone mentioned that) was good, too.

Dax & Cash are tag guys so they won’t bother with the TNT Championship, but I could see them taking on Roddy & Kyle one more time, then we’d get Dax & Cash VS Cole & Garcia. At least, maybe? Just something that’ll help FTR get back up and maybe go for tag titles.  Megan beating two opponents at once was a good way to step things up in her rebound from Dynasty. I wonder if she’ll keep doing that until running into some new rival. I say that as it seems we won’t be getting her and Toni Storm in a rematch.

Toni Storm had a great promo to call out all the remaining Women’s Owen Hart Cup entries, but I find it interesting that she had no quip for Kris, just a compliment. Makes me wonder if Kris is destined to win the tournament and go to All In with Toni. And of course, great stuff in all of the Owen Hart Cup matches. Jamie VS Billie was a great rematch, but I shouldn’t be surprised Jamie wins again. Jamie VS Kris will be great stuff to lead into Double or Nothing. Then, great stuff from Athena VS Harley, certainly one of Harley’s better matches. But at the same time, of course Athena won to face Mone. Good promo from Mone to call Athena out, their match is going to be awesome, hard to say who wins that.

Konosuke VS Brody was also great, definitely a great main event. Of course Konosuke won. He’s NEVER Openweight Champion, the Don Callis Family keeps their idea of All Don Callis Family alive a little longer, and Konosuke VS Ospreay is going to be awesome stuff. I still think Ospreay wins and meets Kyle in the main event, but I suppose that still depends on how Hangman VS Wild Card goes.

My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY

The Death Riders speak.

Jon Moxley says, “The single greatest roster of pure talent ever assembled under one roof every week on AEW Dynamite. So, why can’t any of these guys get their act together when it counts? They come with their talents and they come with their gifts and they come with their fanfare and their bodies hit the dirt and they roll back down the hill. They will excuse themselves of they will seek comfort without addressing the real problem: You don’t want it. You don’t. We will scorch the earth with anybody who wants to call themselves a contender before we give a single inch. Not an inch.

“This is my life’s work. It will not be bought or sold. Matt & Nick Jackson have returned. Interesting. Power players in pro-wrestling’s new gilded age. Let’s do a little who’s who. I’m surrounded by warriors, I am the world champion, a king on the frontlines. You two? I don’t recognize you two anymore. I haven’t for a long time. You stumbled onto a board and you don’t know what the game is. You better figure it out, and you better be real, real careful. Better be real careful before you make any moves.” The Maniac keeps everyone on edge as he puts them all on notice, but will someone finally beat him at his own game?

 

Jon Moxley w/ Marina Shafir VS Katsuyori Shibata!

While The Maniac thinks he and his Death Riders are feared and untouchable, The Opps showed they are #NeverLacking! The Opps did what they could to keep things even between Death Riders and Swerve Strickland, but will The Wrestler make sure Moxley realizes what he’s lacking?

The bell rings, the two circle, and Baltimore rallies up. The two clinch, fight for control, and Shibata slips through to waistlock. Moxley wrenches free, but Shibata hooks a leg. Moxley rolls to get a wristlock but Shibata headscissors. The fans cheer, but Moxley fights around and pops free. The two stare down and go again. Shibata stays low as he looks for a leg, but then stands as Moxley tries for knuckle locks. They clinch, Moxley facelocks, but Shibata fights around. The fans duel, Shibata slips out to waistlock, then he grabs a leg. Moxley fights up, Shibata goes back to the waistlock and wrangles Moxley again.

The two move around, Moxley goes to the ROPEBREAK, and Shibata lets off. The fans rally as the two reset. They circle, tie up collar ‘n’ elbow, and Moxley powers Shibata back to the ropes. Shibata turns things around, only for Moxley to turn them back around, and they’re in the corner. Moxley lets off slowly, then he pie faces Shibata! Shibata CHOPS Moxley! The fans fire up as Shibata gives as good as he gets! Moxley is already red, so he CHOPS! Shibata CHOPS, Moxley CHOPS, the fans “WOO~!” and the CHOPS keep going! As soon as Mox CHOPS, Shibata CHOPS! Moxley snarls, kicks low, then runs, to then BOOT Shibata!

Moxley gets in Shibata’s face, but Shibata just eggs him on! The fans fire up, so Moxley BOOTS Shibata again! Shibata just turns himself around and eggs Moxley on! Moxley BOOTS, but Shibata gets in Moxley’s face! Moxley runs, but into a clinch, S T O! The fans fire up, and Shibata clamps on a chinlock. Moxley fights up, but Shibata catches him into a COBRA TWIST! Moxley endures, reaches out, but Shibata shifts position to have an IRON OCTOPUS! Moxley still endures, fights his way forward, and has the ROPEBREAK! Shibata lets go to CLUB Moxley, then whips him to a corner and BOOTS!

The fans fire up as Shibata fires a flurry of forearms on Moxley! The ref counts, Shibata sits Moxley down, then he runs corner to corner, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Then he gets going again, but Moxley LARIATS first! Moxley hurries to get Shibata up, LARIAT! Cover, ONE!! Shibata is tougher than that, but Moxley reels him in, PILEDRIVER! Moxley grins while Shibata staggers up, but Shibata PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up as Shibata quite literally kicks that smug look off Moxley’s face! Marina is worried, but Shibata clamps on with a chinlock. Moxley fights up, slips out, and he has a SLEEPER!

Shibata pries at the hold, slips around, spin and snapmare, then the SLEEPER! Moxley fights up, reaches out, and he reaches back to THUMB Shibata in the eye! Shibata lets go, Moxley has the SLEEPER, and drops for the REAR NAKED CHOKE! The fans boo but Shibata is caught! The ref calls it, Moxley wins!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap, but it still gave Moxley the win. Will Moxley continue to act in opposition to his words? Wait! The Young Bucks are here! Matthew & Nicholas Jackson make their way out on stage, Baltimore booing all the way. The prodigal EVPs go to the ring, and step inside to join Moxley & Marina. Moxley eyes The Bucks, The Problem standing in their way. Moxley has Marina stand down and the Death Riders fall back. Nick gets a mic to say, “Please give it up for your World Heavyweight Champion, Jon Moxley!” The fans boo instead. Nick says, “And show some damn respect for the Founding Fathers of AEW, YOUR EVPs!”

The fans boo more, but Nick tells them to “Shut the F up!” And yes, he used the letter F, so he self-censored. Nick knows everyone is wondering why The Bucks did what they did. Why did they cost Swerve the world title? Well, they have a couple good reasons why. First of all, they did it for their good friend. Hangman Adam Page, you’re welcome! This is what Hangman wanted all along! He never wanted Swerve to be world champion ever again, so they did that for him. The Bucks do NOT forget who their friends are. They still love Hangman and they know Hangman loves them. The fans chant “Whose House? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”

Matt says Moxley, if only you stuck around to hear this, but Matt isn’t afraid to say this in front of the world. The fans continue to chant for “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” but Matt tells The Death Riders that what they did for them is a peace offering. The Bucks have no problems with The Death Riders, and they hope The Death Riders have no problems with them. While Matt & Nick sat at home for months and months, they realized while watching The Death Riders, that they’ve all got more in common than you’d think. The Death Riders wanna see that locker room rise to the occasion, just like The Bucks.

The Death Riders want AEW to be the best company in the world, just like The Bucks! They want to change the world, just like The Bucks! And Jon, Matt is impressed. Watching Jon, Matt saw him do what The Bucks could not. Jon Moxley succeeded in taking over AEW, and even got the world title. The Bucks could never do that. So last Sunday was their elevator pitch to The Death Riders. Imagine the synergy if The Death Riders & The Elite worked together as one! Moxley, the world champion, and The Founding Fathers of AEW, The EVPs, all together…! So please, Moxley, come on back out here with your boys, and let’s discuss a little bit of business.

The fans boo, but instead of Moxley, it’s KENNY OMEGA! The other Founding Father is here, and the fans fire up! The AEW International Champion has a mic to tell The Bucks, “So you did this all for your friends, huh? Mox, Hanger. You forgot to do me. But actually, I remember the last time we met. And if memory serves me correctly, it’s when at the height of my diverticulitis, you pushed me off a stretcher that was taking me to the hospital.” The fans boo, and Omega says this might sound crazy, but he never forgot. And he even forgave them! When he returned, he said that what he was doing was for his own legacy and for the safety of this company, not for revenge.

The fans cheer, and Omega says what we’re all trying to do here is #BringBacktheFeeling. Now, Omega hates to divert from the story, but allow him to tell The Bucks a story. Omega had a friend in high school who had two Shi Tzu dogs. It doesn’t really matter the type of dog, but they were both yappy as all heck. Ugly little mutts, but hey, Omega is an animal lover, so he loved these dogs. Every time he visited his friend’s place, they’d play games, but the dogs would take a dookie on the floor. The friend didn’t care, and those two little Shi Tzus were ever so pleased with themselves.

But as time went on, and more dookie kept collecting, and the stains left behind were getting more pungent, Omega had to say, “Hey, pal. Maybe we move this over to my place?” That is what The Bucks, without Omega, were like here in AEW. The fans chant “DOOKIE! DOOKIE!” Omega says the last time we saw The Bucks on AEW TV, they were shredding documents like there was some big incriminating thing they were covering up. Guys, Omega is gonna spoil the surprise right now. We all know how The Bucks live. We all know exactly how they operate! They brag about their earnings and their money, so yes, they were tearing up receipts!

Receipts of private jets! Of that big chair one of them has facing the bed in their master bedroom. The OnlyFans accounts! But it doesn’t matter! The part that matters most, the part that pisses Omega off the most, is that not because of The Death Riders, but because of The Young Bucks that AEW almost died! The company Omega loves and gave his very life, heart and soul for. The fans cheer that, and Omega says he cannot lie. The time off did The Bucks wonderfully. Nick looks every bit of that 90 pounds he was before he left. And Matt… Well, sure, he looks fine in that low cut V neck, but lay off the hot stuff! He’s as red as Nick’s lapels!

And quite frankly, now that we’ve gotten to this point, Omega could go on and on and on. But he doesn’t know, maybe they cut out the middle man and just fight. The fans fire up as Omega storms his way forward! Nick & Matt are ready, but then here comes Kazuchika Okada! The Elite’s Rainmaker is here and Omega realizes this is now 3v1. But wait! SWERVE shows up! The fans fire up as now things look to be 3v2! Swerve slips in from the crowd side, with a chair! The Elite runs off, avoiding retribution for the Dynasty screw job. The fans cheer as Baltimore is now “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”

Omega offers a fist bump, Swerve gives him the fist bump! Will The Cleaner and The Realest be unlikely allies in this war for AEW’s heart and soul? Swerve grabs a mic to shout, “I now pronounce it is Buck Hunting Season! And I’m here with a loaded shotgun ready to blast on some freakin’ EVPs! You couldn’t leave well enough alone, could you? I dealt with you last year. And now-” PAC ATTACKS! The Bastard has a match with Swerve, so he decides to take it now! The fans boo but Pac digs his boot into Swerve in the neck! The ref rushes in, he has Pac back off, and things cool off while Dynamite goes to break!

Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS PAC!

Dynamite returns as Swerve tells the ref this match is still happening. The bell rings, Pac runs up, and Swerve BOOTS him down! The fans fire up and Swerve brings Pac up for fast hands! Swerve has Pac in a corner, fires off more shots, then fireman’s carries to hit SNAKE EYES! Swerve runs and he BOOTS Pac down again! Pac flounders, the fans fire up, and Swerve sees Pac bail out. Swerve BOOTS Pac from the apron! Swerve snarls, then drags Pac up to whip hard into railing! And then whips him the other way, into more railing! Pac writhes, but Swerve brings him up to send into steel steps! Pac slumps down while the fans fire up!

Nana says this is the REAL world champion here! Swerve refreshes the ring count, then revels in the fans chanting “One More Time!” Pac hurries into the ring to deny Swerve that, but Swerve goes around the outside. Swerve storms into the ring, but Pac goes back to the apron. Swerve storms up but Pac RAMS into him! Pac slingshots up and over, keeps moving, but Swerve stops the rana! Swerve hauls Pac up to BUCKLE BOMB! Pac writhes, drags himself up, and Swerve snapmares him to go up and FALLING UPPERCUT! The fans fire up while Swerve hits the Griddy! Swerve stalks Pac, stands on him at the ropes, but steps off as the ref counts.

Pac sputters, Swerve eggs Pac on, but Doc Sampson is called over to check on Pac. Pac’s foot seems to be the body part in question, and Swerve is annoyed that this is denying him his payback. The fans rally and Swerve paces. Doc double checks Pac, he is okay to continue, so he slides into the ring. SUPERKICK from Swerve! Swerve goes up the corner and the fans fire up! KILL STOMPS! Cover, Swerve wins!

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall

The Bastard takes a shot intended for The Bucks, but Swerve surely has ammo to spare. Will Swerve get at Matt & Nick soon enough?

 

Ricochet, Beast Mortos & Cru speak.

The One & Only says, “There is a lot that Daddy can do with $400,000. And tonight, I will lead Team Ricochet to victory.” The others take offense to that. But yeah, he’s the captain now. AHA~! The others roll their eyes, but will they all be rolling in money after tonight?

 

Will Ospreay, Mark Briscoe, Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey speak.

The Sussex County Chicken says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the word of the day is entrepreneurial! Because tonight, fellas, we have a opportunity to split 400 hundred thousand dollars! Will, whatcha gonna do with a hundred grand?” The Aerial Assassin shouts, “DISNEY WORLD~!” Mike, how ’bout you? He’ll buy some new shoes! And Jet, what about you? Kevin Knight is gonna go to Atlantic City, baby! What about Mark? Well, he plans to diversify his financial portfolio. But that’s besides the point! They’re coming for ya, baby! RAH RAH RAH! Which team will #ManUp and bring up the jackpot?

 

AEW hears from the many entrants of the Women’s Owen Hart Cup.

The CEO brags about how she beat the Princess of the Black Throne, but Billie Starkz reminds us that this is about honoring a legend. Jamie Hart says Billie is young, but scrappy and has heart. Mone continues to brag that the Money Train is going to win The Owen, pull into Globe Life Field stadium and become AEW Women’s World- Wait, Mini Mone pops in and says, “CHAMPION~!” Harley Cameron is all smiles but Mone has a headache. Billie knows Jamie doesn’t doubt herself because she beat Billie before, but in the Owen Hart Cup, it’ll be different. Harley tells Mone that she might go to All In. Or maybe, just maybe, Harley does, because she’s also in the tournament.

And you never know! Maybe Harley and Mone could face off! Jamie knows Billie wants her moment, but Jamie just wants to fight. Let’s see which one wins out on Saturday. Mone wishes Harley luck against Athena, and may the best woman win. Mini Mone tells Harley that next time, she’ll do the talking. But as stated, the Owen Hart Cup will have a Collision in Springfield, Massachusetts! Who makes it out of there to move on to Boston and the Spring Breakthru?

 

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

Renee Paquette brings up The Cowboy facing the Wild Card entrant to the Men’s Owen Hart Cup. How does he prepare for a question mark? Hangman doesn’t know who this guy is, and he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to say, but he’s kinda doing something right now so excuse him. Hangman storms on down the hall and goes right into Swerve’s room!? Hangman asks Nana, “Where’s he at?!” Nana asks what the hell, and Hangman knows Nana knows, so he needs to sit his ass down! Nana sits down, and Hangman wants to make something perfectly clear! At Dynasty, Hangman was NOT trying to help Swerve, understand?

And next week, Hangman has his match in The Owen! So tell Swerve if he so much as thinks about getting in the way, Hangman will pick up with him where they left off. Hangman then turns to go, but Nana has him hold on. There’s something he’s been wanting to tell Hangman for the last year. Nana can’t talk for Swerve, but Nana regrets what they did. Hangman tells Nana to stop! Not another word! Nana does not get that. Hangman storms off, not wanting an apology. Is Hangman that determined to hate someone?

AEW has an injury report on Adam Copeland.

After failing to dethrone the Death Riders as AEW World Trios Champions, FTR betrayed Cope and absolutely brutalized him! The Rated R Superstar is ruled out of action indefinitely, did Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler just end the career of a man they once called friend?

 

The Hurt Syndicate is here!

Baltimore cheers as Montel Vontavious Porter and the AEW World Tag Team Champions, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, head to the ring. There’s already quite the set up waiting for them: a table decked out with food and drink; a pedestal to rest the belts on; and a picture commemorating their victory. The fans cheer for MVP as he grabs the mic, and he says, “Ladies and gentlemen of the AEW viewing audience, this is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate. Punks jump up to get beat down. Two more challengers stepped up for the AEW Tag Team Championships, and two more challengers got beat down.”

The fans cheer, and MVP says if they would be so kind, please join him and his colleagues in a toast to celebrate yet another successful title defense. They take the bottles of champagne from the bucket of ice, and the fans chant, “We Hurt~ People!” They raise their glasses, but then MJF makes his way out here! Maxwell Jacob Friedman smiles, has a mic in hand already, and he goes right to the ring. MJF apologizes and then stands in line beside Shelton. The fans are torn, Shelton chuckles, MVP smirks, but Lashley is not amused. Baltimore duels, “He’s Our Scumbag!” “NO, HE’S NOT!” MVP talks with Lashley to relax, but then MJF speaks.

“Look at us, huh? I don’t know if you’ve heard, but we hurt people, baby! This is great, this is great. Guys, look at us, huh? Dripping in gold! You’re welcome, by the way. I couldn’t be happier. This couldn’t have come at a better time, mind you. Because that guy, Tony Khan, he wanted me to do the Owen Hart Cup Tournament? So I could what? Sweat my balls off, break my back, wrestle every week like some shmuck! I don’t think so, Maryland. See, I work smarter, not harder. And now that I’m rolling with The Syndicate? Whew! Daddy gets to cut the line and get back what is rightfully mine, and that is the Triple B, baby!”

The fans cheer, MVP chuckles, and MJF says this is a perfect fit! He scratches their backs by helping them maintain their tag team titles, because let’s face it, without his help, woof. And now, they help little ol’ MJF! Everyone wins! So, Montel, serious question, how does the initiation work? Does he sign a contract? Or is it an old school blood brothers thing? Lashley tells MJF to shut up. “Shut your freakin’ mouth!” Everyone saw what MJF did! When Lashley turned around and saw Big Bill standing, Lashley cut him in half and finished it, cuz that’s what they do. Now MJF tried to help, which was cute, but he didn’t get the job done.

So Max, this is yet another reason why they don’t need MJF! MJF says okay, cool. First, don’t point. Lashley says he’ll point at whoever he wants! They argue, but then Shelton & MVP step in. MVP tells Lashley to chill, Lashley says MJF will respect him! MVP wants Shelton to cool off, too, just give MVP a second. MVP tells MJF he knows how MVP feels about him. They go way back. Lashley & Shelton know that, too. So in order for MJF to join the Syndicate, he has to get three thumbs up. We already know how MVP feels, he is thumbs up. Shelton? MJF says yeah, they go way back, too! Shelton’s answer is thumbs… DOWN!

MJF thought they were cool! Lashley says thank you, Shelton. That’s two to one, the motion is denied. Lashley & Shelton head out, MJF turns to MVP, and MVP shrugs. The Syndicate heads out, not bothering with The Scumbag. What must MJF do to get what he wants?

 

Backstage interview with Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford.

Renee is with The Megasus & The Superbad Girl, and says she wanted to catch up on how they’re feeling after what was honestly, a surprising loss at Dynasty. Ford says that was just a taste of defeat. But it changes nothing. “Everything that this woman has been through is what? Just erased all because Toni Storm barely survived? No. Everything is just gonna get worse. This division cannot move on, because she won’t let it. She’s gonna be at Collision. And she doesn’t care who, she doesn’t care how many0” Megan brushes Renee aside to step forward, and she tells everyone, “I will make you bow down.” Ford says, “See what you did?”

The female titan of AEW was dominant before, and now she’s angry! Who will be destroyed all because Toni Storm still reigns?

The Don Callis Family speaks.

Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita stand behind Don Callis himself as he says, “All signs are pointing and all roads are leading to a Proto-shita final for the Don Callis Family in the Owen Hart Tournament. I mean, the Protostar here, he already beat that degenerate, Mark Briscoe. And even though Brody King got one over on the Don Callis Family when he beat Lance Archer, I can tell you, my word, it shan’t happen again! Because we’ve got valuable intel, and you’re in the ring, Brody King, with The Alpha. Look at these two! I mean, in their 20s, jacked, oiled up, hot! The talk of the town! Very healthy young men.

“Y’know who’s not healthy? A couple other members of the Don Callis Family. So I’m gonna put it out there officially tonight: The Don Callis Family, given the rash of injuries that has taken place, is now accepting potential new members. Send your résumé, send your picture, send your bank account number, because as these guys have proven, this is straight to the top.” Callis is expanding his stable, who will accept his offer? And will Takeshita make it through the King of Death this Saturday on Collision?

 

The Undisputed Kingdom speaks.

Kyle O’Reilly says, “There’s been a lot of ups and downs for us in AEW, boys. And since I joined the Undisputed Kingdom, we’ve been chasing that one moment to kick things off. And the TNT Championship tells the world what we already know: We are the elite of the elite, and watch us as we collect moment after moment after moment.” Roderick Strong says, “Speaking of moments, Kyle, I think it’s about time that we have our moment.” Adam Cole tells Roddy that they will. “Because excellence is not just defined by your successes. Excellence is defined by how you handle your failures.

“The past two years, I’ve been through hell and back. They were two of the most challenging years not just in my career, but in my life. And now I stand before you the Face of TNT, your NEW AEW TNT Champion. And trust me when I tell you, this is just the start for the three of us. Because it’s a new era in All Elite Wrestling, because we… We are the paragons, and that is Undisputed.” Cole, Kyle & Roddy are ready, will they redefine what it is to be All Elite?

 

Chris Jericho is here!

The former ROH World Champion goes to the ring, where he has his podium, prop trees and TV set up. Jericho has the mic to say, “I am the legendary Chris Jericho, but I am no longer the ROH World Champion.” The fans cheer that! Jericho says he lost his match, he lost a tooth, and he lost his title. And while that is disappointing, he will give credit where credit is due. Congratulations, Bandido, you pulled it off. After months of conflict with one of the greatest pro-wrestlers of all time, Jericho, Bandido was finally victorious. Bandido won the title and saved his mask, but of course with the assistance of his intrusive siblings and his stooge of a mother!

But Jericho gets it. Bandido has his familia, and Jericho has his. Jericho will bring them out now: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith! The Redwood & The Bad Apple make their way out now, and they’re just as upset given they also lost on Sunday. Bill & Keith step into the ring to join Jericho, and Jericho says he was hoping they’d all have titles here tonight. He was hoping they would win the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Dynasty. But they didn’t, did they? That’s why Jericho- Bill stops him?!

Bill grabs his own mic while the fans cheer him on, and Bill says, “Look, Chris, I already know what you’re gonna say. You’re angry, and you have every right to be angry. I’m angry. In fact, I’ve been getting real angry a lot as of late.” Keith wants Bill to stop, but Bill says no, Jericho needs to hear this. Bill knows Keith knows this, too, because they’ve talked about this. Keith is still conflicted, but Bill tells Jericho that Bill has the utmost respect for Jericho. Jericho is one of the greatest of all time. Jericho is one of the most decorated performers in the history of this industry. The fans do cheer that, and Bill says that is why he joined The Learning Tree.

Bill wanted to learn from Jericho. But… Bill did not sign up to be Jericho’s punching bag whenever things go wrong. The fans cheer that! Jericho has a bit of a smirk, and Bill says if he and Keith are out here because Jericho is going to teach them something, then by all means, go ahead and teach. But if they are just here so Jericho can berate and humiliate them, then let Bill know right now, so Bill can leave. And Bill knows Bryan feels the same way. Jericho steps closer to Keith and asks if that’s true. Because that isn’t why Jericho brought them out here. If that’s what they think, then they do have a lot more to learn than he thought.

Jericho believes in them. And when he said he wanted them to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships, he meant that, because he cares about both of them. He handpicked both of them to stand by him to teach them, help them, and believe him, he doesn’t have to help anyone in AEW if he doesn’t want to. But they have potential. They’re future world champions! That is why their victories are his victories, and their failures are his failures. And that is why Jericho is empathetic to Bill when Bill was not there when Jericho needed him most! Jericho lost the ROH World Championship, and Bill wasn’t there!

Some might go so far as to say it was Bill’s fault that Jericho lost! The fans boo, this is clearly the berating Bill spoke of. Bill tries not to react, but Jericho says he isn’t saying that. He doesn’t believe that at all. It is okay, because he is not angry. Just disappointed. Jericho SMASHES his TV with Floyd the Baseball Bat! Jericho again says, “I’m not angry, just disappointed.” And then SMASH goes the TV! SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! Then he goes after the trees! Jericho keeps saying, “I’m disappointed! I’m disappointed! I’m disappointed! I’M EFFING DISAPPOINTED!” And unlike Nick Jackson earlier, Jericho does say the full word.

The fans boo and Bill glares at Jericho. Jericho says he is disappointed in them, and until they change that, it is best that he leaves. Jericho pushes his podium over, storms out of the ring, and the fans sing, “Hey Hey Hey~! GOODBYE~!” If this is disappointed, what would angry even look like? Keith and Bill are upset, but in different ways. What happens to The Learning Tree if The Nueve is going to be MIA?

 

Anthony Bowens speaks.

It was after the huge return at Dynasty during the Zero Hour that the Pride of Pro-Wrestling said, “I’m finally free of the shackles that is Max Caster. The Five Tool Player has finally arrived. I’ve got five tools, and one rule: And that’s  to prove them wrong.” Bowens returns to AEW TV as he takes on Blake Christian this Saturday, will the Vanilla Baby survive this Collision?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Almost a week after the brutal beating they gave Adam Copeland, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler will be in Springfield, Mass to speak on #WhyFTRWhy. Will their answer be satisfactory? Or simply self-serving?

 

Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.

Alicia Atout has caught up with MVP, Lashley & Shelton to bring up the interactions with MJF. Where do things go from here? Lashley asks why they’re even talking about MJF. Everyone knows MJF is not to be trusted, and then after what he said out there tonight? Lashley does not like MJF, and the Syndicate does not need MJF. Shelton agrees there. They don’t need anybody else. Though, “Lil’ George Costanza is pretty funny.” Lashley rolls his eyes and storms off, Shelton says he’ll go talk to him. MVP says they’re just trying to figure out- Wait, someone knocks on the door. MVP says come in, and it’s MJF!

MJF tells Alicia, “Honey, this is an AB conversation, so why don’t you C your skank ass outta here? Buh-bye, catch you around.” MJF apologizes to MVP that he had to see that, but he is just a little perturbed. Can he ask a question, plain and simple? Sure, go ahead. Does MJF look like a “female dog” to him? MVP wants MJF to get to the point. MJF’s point is, why does he always end up treated like some punk b*tch!? Do these guys not know who he is? He’s M J F! MVP has MJF stop there. That’s the problem: They know exactly who MJF is. MJF’s reputation precedes him. But this is business, and in the world of business, you get your consumer, find out what they want, and give it to them.

MVP heads out, and MJF thinks on that. Will he figure out what the supply and demand for the Hurt Syndicate is?

 

Jericho is in the parking lot.

He storms around, and he takes out his “disappointment” on some spare sodas before getting into his car. The driver takes it away, when and where will we see The Learning Tree again?

Only for Claudio to slide out, YANK Joe down, and throw forearms! Joe fires in return and the fans fire up! Joe whips, Claudio reverse, Joe hits railing! Claudio runs up, but into an URENAGE to the floor! Yuta drags Hook up, but Hook standing switches and clamps on! REDRUM!! No, Yuta is fighting it, and here comes Moxley! The ref has Moxley back off, but this lets Yuta CLAWS Hook’s eyes! The fans boo but Moxley does his part.

Moxley has a chair, he tells Yuta to finish this, but SHIBATA returns! He has Moxley in a SLEEPER! The fans fire up as Moxley flails! REDRUM for Yuta!! Joe has Claudio, COQUINA CLUTCH!! The Opps have the Death Riders all caught! Yuta TAPS, Opps win!!

Winners: Samoa Joe & Hook, by submission

They truly are #NeverLacking! Joe, Hook and even Shibata had the grit to tough it out and take the win! Shibata’s even putting the Maniac AEW World Champion to sleep! But Marina Shafir slithers in, chair in hand! She CHOP BLOCKS Joe! Yuta CLOBBERS Hook, Claudio is back to help mug Hook! The fans boo, Shibata hurries to help his guys, but Claudio fires shots! Yuta joins in to TOSS Shibata out! Claudio has the chair, sits it upside-down, and he reels Hook in! GOTCH NEUTRALIZER onto the chair legs!! Hook is all but skewered on those, and now The Death Riders run away before Joe can get them!

The fans boo, but what did anyone expect from the dastardly, no good Death Riders? Joe is the only one standing, and he has a mic to shout, “DEATH RIDERRRS~! You cowardly SOBs! You see, the Opps came to Baltimore to give you a fist fight! And it seems like the Death Riders are acting more like a bunch of D*CK RIDERS right now, to come out here and do what they want!” The fans fire up behind Joe, and Joe says they make it real simple! The Opps VS The Death Riders, and they’re coming for the AEW World Trios Championships!! Joe has thrown down the challenge, will The Death Riders have no choice but to accept?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite for the follow-up to Dynasty, but something promo wise must’ve gone long because the main event needed most of that overrun. Part of me thinks it was Kenny Omega with The Bucks. We got a good opening promo from Moxley that properly uses that Heel hypocrisy to act like he didn’t get saved by everyone in the Death Riders and The Bucks, and then we got a great match from Moxley VS Shibata. Moxley of course wins by using dirty tactics, but I liked the segue into The Bucks having their promo, which then brought out Kenny. Part of why this part took longer was cuz the fans were having too much fun chanting “Dookie.”

But there’s something about The Elite wanting to work with The Death Riders, but they’ve got Omega and Swerve opposing them, I wonder if Double or Nothing gets to have Anarchy in the Arena 2025. The Owen Hart Cup Finals determine a #1 contender to the world title, so Double or Nothing doesn’t have to have a world title match. Honestly, seeing as how Revolution and Dynasty basically had the same upsetting end to a world title match, Anarchy in the Arena would be a much better main event. Though, that really depends on what happens with The Opps and the trios titles. Honestly, The Opps better win those titles.

We got a great tag team main event, and while Joe & Hook win, Death Riders get the better of them with that beating. I really hope Pac is okay, his ankle scare might have been what wrapped his match against Swerve. If Pac’s ankle is still a concern, that’s perhaps all the more reason to take the trios titles off The Death Riders and put them on The Opps so that The Opps can carry those into Double or Nothing or even All In. Then Anarchy in the Arena can be Bucks, Okada, and at least Moxley, Claudio & Yuta, against Omega, Swerve, and certainly Hangman Page. Hangman had a great bit with Prince Nana, and they’re really taking this to interesting places. Swerve says he deserved what Hangman did, Nana wants to apologize for what Swerve did, and Hangman isn’t sure how to handle any of it.

Now, Hangman also said his Owen Hart Cup match is next week, and that complicates what some fans were hoping to see. Fans hoped Darby Allin would go All In (see how his name and the words work together?) but Darby wants to climb Mount Everest. Apparently that climb is either happening now or within the next week, meaning he’s not going to be available for the Wild Card position. Not sure who they could put in that spot, not sure why they had a Wild Card spot to begin with, but if it isn’t Darby, I feel like Hangman wins that to at least be a bit closer to the Cup. But with The Bucks back, I could see them pulling strings to try and help Hangman, he doesn’t like it, all the more reason he joins Swerve and Omega against The Elite.

Very good promo segment from The Hurt Syndicate with MJF. MJF just assuming he’s in was great, as was Lashley’s entire reaction to it. Not sure we needed that backstage promo, that could’ve been left for Collision. Also, I believe Alicia Atout is MJF’s newest girlfriend, so she clearly knew MJF would be misogynistic for the bit. Good promo from Undisputed Kingdom, or perhaps the Paragon? I feel like “Paragon” was floated around as a faction name a year or so ago, not sure they need to try that again. And surprisingly, a very good TV Time with Chris Jericho. I really liked Bill being blunt with Jericho, and then Jericho turning that around to be somewhat psycho was actually a good move, too. Can’t wait for Bill and Jericho to have it out, and for Keith to choose a side.

That was a great 8 Man Tag, with great promos, but like… Does a kayfabe “big cash prize” really have to be the reason? I suppose it’s TK’s best way of justifying such an assortment of wrestlers in a match, but it still seems really silly. They never really did that much with Top Flight & AR Fox after they won that Three Kings $300K battle royal. The gear didn’t change or improve that drastically, there was no promo/vignette where they had fun with the $300K, so why bother? Good promo from Don Callis, though, to hype up his guys in the Owen Hart Cup, and to open the door to new members. Maybe guys lost in the shuffle can finally do stuff on TV. Also, a shame about Mark Davis and Brian Cage, I hope those guys get well soon.

And great stuff in the Women’s Owen Hart Cup. Very good promo from all the other entries, and a great match from Kris VS Rosa. Toni on commentary is still good, but she really does like innuendos, doesn’t she? Maybe too much? I’m just a touch surprised Kris won, I thought they were going to give us Thunder VS Storm again, given Rosa never actually lost the title. They can still do that for Double or Nothing on the side while someone else wins the tournament, but Megan & Ford also had a very good promo. I figured with Dynasty that Megan would want a rematch, but maybe she has to go through Rosa to get it. Or maybe Triple Threat since the PPV is Double or Nothing?

My Score: 8.9/10
