AEW shares footage from the New Orleans airport.
The Jericho Appreciation Society arrived earlier today by private jet, or at least Jericho, Jake Hager and Daniel Garcia did. Because that is how sports entertainers travel! But just as Jericho was bragging about it, Eddie Kingston and his crew pulled up! Remember, ON SIGHT! They’re going to see Jericho and his boys later tonight! The car then pulls away, to reveal Kingston, Santana & Ortiz already dealt with Matt Menard and Angelo Parker! And took their shoes! Jericho shouts to get their car, and then shouts at Kingston! Will The Influencer, Rock Hard and the Red Death make the Mad King and company pay for this?
AEW World Tag Team Championships: Jurassic Express w/ Christian Cage VS reDRagon!

Winners: Jurassic Express, by pinfall (still AEW World Tag Team Champions)
JB & Luchasaurus got one hell of a fight from former IWGP Junior Heavyweight, ROH World and NXT Tag Team Champions, but this train is still rolling! Wait, Kyle gets a chair! He JAMS Luchasaurus in the leg, and he SMACKS JB off a corner! The Undisputed Elite are sore losers! But Kyle says, “UP YOURS!” as he and Fish fall back. But here comes FTR! The joint AAA & ROH World Tag Team Champions aren’t letting reDRagon run away! But that turns into a fight on the ramp! Referees hurry to keep this from getting any more heated, but is it only a matter of time before Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood cross reDRagon and Jurassic Express of their hit lists?
Backstage interview with the Blackpool Combat Club.
Tony Schiavone stands with William Regal, Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson and Wheeler Yuta as he notes this Friday for Rampage, it will be a Trios Match! BCC VS Gunn Club! Regal says he couldn’t possibly be happier because he is surrounded by three tough gentlemen! Yes, a big match for Rampage, and Bryan says, “Why do you think we’re all fired up? Why do you think? Because Wheeler Yuta, for the first time, is fighting with us!” Yuta bled with Mox, spat in Bryan’s face, and these three are going to fight the 24-0 Gunn Club. Moxley says he doesn’t really know the Gunn Club, but he doesn’t like them. They’re a bunch of goofs! That’s what they need less of here in AEW!
Moxley says they plan on breaking the Gunn Club’s faces open. “Time to get mean, Wheeler!” Yuta himself says, “Tony, on Friday, the real work begins.” Will the ROH Pure Champion give us yet another star making performance when he, the Maniac and the American Dragon rip into Billy and his boys?
Backstage interview with Toni Storm and Jamie Hayter.
Tony Schiavone again meets with these two, who again agreed to no physicality this week. “The fans have spoken. We don’t know the brackets for the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament yet, but we do know that Tony Khan has signed what the fans want to see: in the first round, Jamie Hayter VS Toni Storm.” Hayter says she is glad Tony made Toni her first opponent. Hayter wants this more than Tony Khan does, and more than the fans do. And why is that? Well, there are a lot of parallels between these two. They both honed their craft in Japan, in the UK and Europe, a lot like Owen Hart.
But Hayter says this is going to be HER crowning moment, and Toni will not stop that. Hayter will win and break Toni’s face. Toni scowls but Hayter asks, “Cat got your tongue? Just gonna walk away?” She does. Hayter says she knew Toni would do that, but will the Lightning From Down Under let her actions speak for her?
MJF w/ Shawn Spears VS Capt. Shawn Dean!
The last time the Salt of the Earth faced Shawn Dean, CM Punk got involved and handed the win to Dean through a GTS and disqualification. It ruined MJF’s otherwise spotless win-loss record, and now Max wants to “right the wrong.” But will MJF be too busy looking over his shoulder and around ringside for Wardlow? Or will the Captain sweep MJF before MJF even has to worry about that?
The bell rings and MJF apparently can’t unzip that fancy jacket of his. Fans chant for “WARD~LOW!” and Spears has to help MJF! Fans taunt MJF and cheer Dean on, but MJF tells them to shut up! MJF still struggles with the zipper, and Spears talks trash on Dean. Dean is distracted and MJF sucker punches him! MJF stomps away on Dean in the corner, then surprise! The zipper was never really stuck. Fans boo as MJF whips his jacket around then tosses it aside. MJF drags Dean up, whips him corner to corner and WRINGS him out at the same time! MJF then gets on the corner to soak up all the heat.
But wait! For the third week in a row, we look backstage, and security has been decimated! Wait, is one guy missing his shirt? MJF is freaking out! Is Wardlow using a security shirt to “sneak” around? MJF hurries to get Dean up and throw him out! MJF headlocks and drags Dean around the way, to then whip into railing! Fans chant, “WE WANT WARDLOW!” but MJF just puts Dean in the corner. MJF soaks up the heat, but a rather big security guard walks up. SURPRISE! It’s Wardlow! MJF thinks the cheers are for him because he’s just that arrogant, and he turns around to see Wardlow! MJF runs away but Wardlow is in pursuit!
MJF scurries into the ring, then right back out, and to the ramp! Wardlow gets to the ramp, and Spears SMACKS him with a chair! But that barely tickles the War Dog! Wardlow turns his attention on Spears, reels him in, and throws off the shirt! But real security hurries out, only to get CLOBBERED One after the other! Then the last guy gets the APRON POWERBOMB! MJF sends another wave but they’re just dominoes for Wardlow to knock down! But all of them gather around and keep Wardlow back! But wait! The ring count is still going! MJF tries to get around but the cluster is too big!
MJF shouts on the mic to have the ref wait! “I don’t know what Tony Khan is paying you, but I will triple it if you don’t count to ten! I’ll triple it!” Fans chant, “TEN! TEN! TEN!” The ref says TEN, MJF LOSES!!
Winner: Capt. Shawn Dean, by count-out
Another win over MJF and Dean celebrates! Wardlow goes peacefully now, having done far more damage to MJF than he could have with his own hands. MJF storms into the ring to get at the ref! The ref gets in MJF’s face back! Spears keeps MJF back, this could be a fine! Meanwhile, Wardlow gets rough with the security now so he can shout right into the camera! “MAX! I’M NOT GONNA STOP! NOT UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU! AND YOU RELEASE ME FROM MY CONTRACT!” The message has been sent, but how will MJF respond?
AEW hears from Darby Allin.
The Relentless One has sent another video in. A casket frame in the middle of an intersection. Darby skateboards downhill towards it. Darby then drags his board, and he says, “Andrade. I’m going to put a nail in this whole thing. Coffin Match.” Enough said, will El Idolo face some grave consequences in this war with Darby?
The House of Black speaks.
Malakai says, “Tell me, Fuego. But your hopes and dreams… Are they still the same? As what they were when you were a child? There in lies the main difference between you and I. Say if we were to uh… Cut open my neck, and push our hands through the wound, and rip open my throat, you would find a dark abyss of razor blades.” Maybe one day, Fuego will appreciate this. But he appreciates hollow things, like a fanbase that loves and adores and thanks Fuego, because the House wanted it so. What the House gives, the House can take. And they will take the brightest light and drag it down into the deepest part of Fuego’s soul and kill it.
If you wonder why Malakai is here alone tonight, he wants Fuego to fear the shadows. Will the Fire of the Sun be extinguished in the bottomless pit that is Malakai’s soul?
Six Man Tag: The Jericho Appreciation Society VS Eddie Kingston, Santana & Ortiz!
The JAS was warned that this grudge would be on sight, and they got just a taste of it at the airport. Will things only be more brutal with them going 3v3 in the ring? Or will Jericho, Hager & Garcia “future endeavor” the Proud ‘n’ Powerful trio for good this time?
Ortiz shows off that he has Parker’s shoes! The teams sort out and Santana starts against Jericho, and Jericho just flips everyone else off, especially Santana. Then he tries to step, but Santana isn’t intimidated. He just SMACKS Jericho, then puts him in the corner to fire off more hands! Santana climbs up and fans fire up as Santana rains down rights! Santana goes all the way to 10, then whips Jericho corner to corner. Santana runs in but Jericho BOOTS him! Jericho runs in, but into a BOOT! Santana whips Jericho to ropes but Jericho reverses. Santana stops and KICKS, but Jericho CHOPS!
Santana CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, it’s a CHOP fight! Santana gets the edge with CHOP after CHOP after CHOP! Fans fire up but Jericho throws a haymaker! Jericho shoves but Santana tackles Jericho! The teams then drop off the corners, Ortiz SHOTGUNS Hager and Kingston CLOBBERS Garcia! Kingston rains down fists, Ortiz keeps on Hager but Hager knees and whips Ortiz into barriers! Kingston digs fingers into Garcia’s face, Jericho bails out but Santana pursues. Hager chokes Kingston to get him away from Garcia, and Jericho goes into the ring.

Hager lets off but Ortiz gets up to throw hands. Hager DECKS Ortiz, but fans rally up. Ortiz dropkicks a leg, CHOPS then forearms and CHOPS again! Ortiz runs but into a lift! Ortiz manages to sunset flip, TWO! Hager CLOBBERS Ortiz! Hager hauls Ortiz up, tags in Garcia, and then SPINEBUSTER and some ground ‘n’ pound! Fans boo as Garcia roars, but Garcia tags Jericho in. Ortiz fights back but the JAS mugs him. Jericho back suplexes Ortiz, then has the cocky cover, TWO! Fans boo but Jericho soaks up the heat, only for Kingston to shove him! The ref has Kingston stand down and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Jericho shouts at Kingston but then Ortiz DECKS Garcia! Ortiz goes after Hager again but Hager ROCKS him with a right. Jericho fires off on Ortiz now, then digs his knee in. The ref counts, Hager tags in, and Ortiz BITES Jericho! Hager RAMS into Ortiz, digs his shoulder in, then RAMS in again! Hager lets off but that allows Garcia and Jericho to get cheap shots in! Kingston protests but the ref is now busy with him! The JAS get away with it, and Hager scoops Ortiz to SLAM him! Hager looms over Ortiz, then runs to the corner, HAGER BOMB! Cover, Santana breaks it! Hager goes after Santana for that, but almost hits the ref!
The ref gets right in Hager’s face, but Garcia gets his shots in! Jericho tags in and has everything clam down a bit. Jericho CLUBS Ortiz, argues with the ref, but Ortiz crawls to his corner! Jericho sees it in time to elbow Ortiz down! Jericho brings Ortiz up to CHOP him to another corner. Jericho CHOPS and CHOPS then hoists Ortiz up top.

And of course, they all mug Kingston now! The 5v3 advantage is just too much, and Jericho is hitting Kingston with the bat! Hager returns, they drag Ortiz in and feed him to a JUDAS EFFECT! They stomp Santana while fans boo, and the JAS stand tall! That may not have been entertainment, but will this be a lesson in the numbers game for Kingston and his team?
Backstage interview with MJF, Shawn Spears & Mark Sterling.
Alex Marvez can’t help but chuckle as he says, “Another upset win,” and MJF gets mad. Is that funny? Does Marvez think it funny?! How about the fans?! “YES! YES!” MJF shouts, “Maybe people have forgotten just who the hell MJF is! I am the prodigy, I am the phenom! I’m the pinnacle of professional wrestling!” But it’s so funny, right? No sympathy for the devil, but he doesn’t need it. He has MONEY. And that is what makes the world go ’round. Tell ’em, Mark! Sterling reads the contract between MJF and Wardlow, and says MJF has the unfettered right to book or not book Wardlow against anyone he wishes.
MJF then makes Marvez hold the mic in front of him as he says, “That means no more just showing up to the arena to have a good time, Pig. Nah. See, I’m gonna put you to work! And I have the BEST idea on how to slaughter a greedy little pig like you.” Spears hands MJF an envelope, and then Andrade’s assistant, Jose, steps into frame! The answer: A BUTCHER! The AFO’s Butcher steps in and roars at the camera! Will he chop Wardlow down into bacon bits?
Marina Shafir VS Skye Blue!
Before facing the undefeated TBS Champion, Jade Cargill, #TheProblem finally has a match on Dynamite! Will the US Open Judo National Champion be seeing red as she takes on Blue before going for gold?
The bell rings and the two circle. Sterling and Jade are watching backstage. Well, Sterling is watching and taking notes on his clipboard, Jade is scrolling through her phone, probably more interested in what her baddies post on social media. Speaking of, the baddies section is full tonight, they’re paying more attention to this than Jade. Shafir kicks Skye low, throws her with a sayanagi, and then looms over her menacing. Wait, Kiera Hogan and Red Velvet are also in the audience watching this, they are cheering on Skye Blue as they’re friends and training partners. But Shafir scoops Skye and just carries her around.
Shafir pops Skye up, but Skye slips out and runs in to get a GUILLOTINE! Shafir isn’t even worried, through, as she turns this into a BEARHUG, and then SWINGING SLAM! Shafir again stands over Skye menacingly, trying to send her aggression through the screen and right at Jade. Jade actually looks up right as Shafir says, “Shame, shame,” with her fingers. Jade rolls her eyes, but Shafir says she should watch this. Shafir drags Skye up, CLUBS her down, then brings her up to DECK her! Skye gets to ropes and drags herself up as the baddies all boo. Skye throws forearms and haymakers! But then Shafir KICKS, pump handles, and FALL AWAY SLAMS!
Shafir glares at the baddies as they boo, but if anything, it amuses Shafir. She eggs them on, but Skye chicken wings! Shafir breaks free, waistlocks, but Skye gets ropes. Skye drops down for a cover, TWO! Shafir blocks the kick, PALM STRIKES the chest, then fisherman roll to a leg capture TRIANGLE!! Skye taps, Shafir wins!
Winner: Marina Shafir, by submission
Shafir makes Skye wave hi to her friends, and then goes out to blow a kiss to everyone. Jade brushes this off, but is this one Problem not even an undefeated baddie can solve?
Lexi Nair interviews Hook.
For the third time in as many events, Lexi tries to get Hook to talk. Next week, in Pittsburgh, it will be Hook’s first match on Dynamite. How is he feeling? But even before he opens his mouth, Sterling walks in with his newest client, Tony Nese. Sterling says of course they’re interviewing Hook. But why not the hottest free agent signing in the Premier Athlete? Nese tells Sterling that AEW doesn’t want to hear from someone who actually earned their success, but from someone who was handed it. Hook stands up and Sterling wants him to calm down. This was just about an interview.
Nese & Sterling leave, and surprise! Danhausen is here! Is it working yet? Hook just throws the medicine ball at him. Danhausen catches it but falls over. Will anything ever faze Hook? Will anything ever get him to talk?
AEW hears from Dan Lambert & The Men of the Year.
Ethan Page starts by saying Sammy Guevara threatened them with, “Wait ’til you see what we do next.” Turns out, all that was next was crawling to management and begging for a TNT Championship match! And it’ll be in the only place in America that Sammy and his future ex-girlfriend won’t get booed out of the building in! Lambert says that might not be true. “Turns out, the most obnoxious couple in the history of AEW are still right here.” But what happened to the Mixed Tag they wanted so badly? Guess maybe it’ll be another Saturday night where she goes unsatisfied.
Scorpio says Sammy desecrated their car, the title, and their names, and he still didn’t get what he wanted. But now, Scorpio will give Sammy the ass-kicking he needs. And the only thing bigger in Texas than that will be Scorpio’s win streak. Sammy and Scorpio are going to be part of Battle of the Belts II, but will Sammy get the belts back, and some revenge, too?

Ever since AEW became Limitless in Swerve’s House, Ricky Starks & Will Hobbs have been absolute bullies! But Keith & Swerve don’t run from bullies, then run over ’em! Will the #AbsolutePowerhouses have no choice but to #BaskinTHEIRGlory?

Swerve endures and fights up, and he ROCKS Hobbs with a right! Swerve slips under but Hobbs catches him to whip at the corner. Swerve uses that to elbow Starks down!

ANOTHER match has been made for Battle of the Belts II!
The ROH World Championship will make its AEW debut as The Octopus, Jonathan Gresham, defends against The Peacock, Dalton Castle! This golden week just keeps getting bigger, who will come out of it holding onto the titles?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Tony Schiavone speaks with the AEW Women’s World Champion about her BOTB II main event title match. La Mera Mera is so excited, but she is again interrupted by the Vicious Vixens. Vickie Guerrero & Nyla Rose have brought a cake. Nyla says it was supposed to have writing on it, but that costs extra, and frankly, Rosa ain’t worth it. But they want to let everyone know they’re celebrating Rosa having AEW’s shortest world title reign! Rosa plays along with the sarcasm, saying they’re both so sweet for this. Vickie, Nyla, do you think she’s stupid? Yes, they do! Well then ESTUPIDA! Rosa shoves the cake into Nyla’s face!
Vickie is furious and tells Nyla to get Rosa! But with all that frosting in Nyla’s face, she DECKS Vickie! Then Rosa CLUBS away on Nyla! But Nyla kicks her back and RAMS her into road cases! And again! Referees rush over to stop this, and Nyla says, “Joke’s on you! I love cake! And violence!” The Native Beast just gave Rosa an appetizer, but will Nyla sink her teeth back into the AEW Women’s World title?
AEW hears from Hangman Adam Page, and Adam Cole.
The Panama City Playboy tells the Cowboy, “You have some preconceived notion that I’m afraid of this match-up.” Cole ain’t scared of sh*t! But Hangman says, “The best lessons in life are lived, not preached.” Cole is scared of how he will feel waking up the next morning, thinking he didn’t do all he could have to become THE AEW World Champion. Because that feeling of disappointment at Revolution, when he couldn’t beat Hangman, to go back to his hotel room and say to himself, “Dammit, you’re the best!” Hangman says this Friday Night Rampage, Texas Deathmatch, he will rip Cole limb from limb, knock his teeth down his throat and make him swallow his own blood!
Cole says he can’t wait to go home this time and say, “That’s right, the AEW World Champion is here, baybay.” Adam VS Adam II raises things to a whole new level, but who will be the Adam that survives?
ROH World Television Championship: Minoru Suzuki VS Samoa Joe!
The Meanest Man in the World defeated Rhett Titus and took this title at Supercard of Honor 2022. But now, the ROH Hall of Famer has come to take that title for his own! Will the Samoan Submission Machine make the King of Pancrase bow down? Or will Suzuki prove why he is universally respected and feared in this ring?
Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt are watching ringside, sarcastically chanting for Joe. Bobby Cruise makes the introductions, “KAZE NI NARE!” and the belt is raised as we perhaps have the most violent normal match ever!
Joe offers a handshake but Suzuki just gets in Joe’s face. Fans are fired up and Suzuki CHOPS! Joe CHOPS, Suzuki CHOPS, repeat! CHOP after CHOP after CHOP and fans are loving this as both men’s chests are turning red already! Suzuki eggs Joe on, the CHOPS keep going! Joe then throws forearms so Suzuki gives those back! Suzuki laughs and fans fire up, so Joe CHOPS again! Suzuki CHOPS back! Joe throws another CHOP, so Suzuki CHOPS again! Joe CHOPS, Suzuki nods and CHOPS again! Joe roars and CHOPS, Suzuki roars and CHOPS! This is like Suzuki taking on Hiromu in the New Japan Cup, just beefier!
Joe CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS, but Suzuki isn’t budging! Suzuki revels in it, if anything! And the fans are reveling in it, too! Suzuki CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS! So Joe CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! And CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Suzuki still stays up, and he shakes his head. “This is Awesome!” and it’s been all CHOP after CHOP! Suzuki just keeps throwing those overhand CHOPS, but Joe comes back with CHOPS of his own! They finally go back to forearms and Suzuki staggers! But Suzuki forearms back, they go back and forth, Joe elbows but Suzuki ROCKS him! Joe ROCKS Suzuki back!
Fans fire up as these two just stare down. Suzuki ROCKS Joe with a forearm but Joe gives it right back! Suzuki smiles again, and he ROCKS Joe. Joe smiles and he ROCKS Suzuki! Suzuki gets the edge with forearm after forearm, and Joe wobbles! Suzuki runs, but Joe runs him over! Fans are thunderous as someone finally falls over! Suzuki gets to the apron, Joe drags him up, but Suzuki gets a HANGING ARMBAR! The ref counts, Suzuki lets go at 4. Suzuki drags Joe out as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Suzuki throws another forearm and he follows Joe along the way. Suzuki throws a forearm, Joe hits back! Joe CHOPS, Suzuki CHOPS, we’re back to the CHOP fight! Suzuki eggs Joe on so Joe CHOPS again. Suzuki CHOPS, Joe CHOPS, again and again! Joe CHOPS and Suzuki has to step back, but he comes right back. They tell the ref to be patient, but then tell each other to get in. So they both do, and the forearms start flying again! Joe gets the edge, runs, but Suzuki catches him for a takedown! Suzuki wants and gets the FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Suzuki even bends the fingers! Joe endures, but Suzuki omoplatas that arm!
Suzuki reaches out and gets Joe’s other arm to pull it back! Suzuki pulls back as hard as he can but Joe still endures! Joe moves around, ROPEBREAK! Suzuki lets go at 4, and he kicks Joe around. Suzuki KICKS Joe in the chest, throws more forearms, then wrenches the bad arm to dig an elbow into the shoulder. Joe endures, even as Suzuki has a standing crossface! Suzuki lets off to throw a haymaker, but Joe just HEADBUTTS! So Suzuki HEADBUTTS! Joe HEADBUTTS again and again and again! Then he reels Suzuki in for a POWERBOMB! High stack, TWO, but into the STF!! Now Suzuki endures!
Dynamite returns to single picture once again as Joe focuses on the crossface! Suzuki endures as Joe cranks him back, so Joe shifts to have RINGS OF SATURN! Suzuki endures, fans rally, and Suzuki reaches out with a leg for the ROPEBREAK! Joe lets go, has Suzuki in a corner and JABS! Joe whips corner to corner but Suzuki reverses and BOOTS Joe down! Suzuki drags Joe up, snapmares and runs to PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! Suzuki grins and fans fire up again. Suzuki drags Joe up, but Joe breaks free! They clinch, throw more forearms, and Suzuki reels Joe in. Fans fire up, but Suzuki knows already the piledriver won’t work.
Suzuki shoves Joe, and he dares Joe to keep throwing those chops! So Joe CHOPS! Suzuki CHOPS, Joe CHOPS, repeat! Both men are red across the chest, fans hope they “FIGHT FOREVER!” but this has to end! Joe CHOPS and CHOPS, but then Suzuki gets around, SLEEPER HOLD! But Joe scoops to SIDEWALK SLAM! Fans are thunderous again, Lethal and Sonjay continue to cheer Joe on. Joe CHOPS Suzuki against the ropes. forearms him, then CHOPS again, Joe runs, into a DROPKICK! Fans fire up with Suzuki and he roars! Suzuki wraps on the SLEEPER HOLD! Joe is already purple, and Suzuki tries it this time!
But Joe fights the Gotch lift, so Suzuki KNES Joe in the corner. Suzuki goes for the sleeper but Joe RAMS him into the buckle! Joe puts Suzuki up top, and GAMANGIRIS! Suzuki wobbles, Joe reels him in, but Suzuki gets him for a HANGING TRIANGLE! Joe resists the extension, drags Suzuki in and fires more forearms! Joe gets Suzuki up, MUSCLE BUSTER!! Cover, Joe wins!!
Winner: Samoa Joe, by pinfall (NEW ROH World Television Champion)
Former ROH World Heavyweight Champion, former ROH Pure Champion, and now finally, ROH World Television Champion! But to “celebrate” with him, Sonjay says congrats to Joe! Lethal says that just like they promised, they’ve brought a very special surprise present that they know Joe will love. Drum roll please. And tada! A middle finger. And then lights go out?! Seems the surprise present was a two-parter! The lights come back up, and a GIGANTIC man has appeared in the ring! Wait, that’s SATNAM SINGH! The NBA’s first Indian born Sikh basketball player, is now ALL ELITE!
Singh CLOBBERS Joe, pushes him out of the ring, and both Lethal and Sonjay mug Joe! Singh then whips Joe into the steel steps! The 7’2″ Singh puts Joe in for Lethal, and Lethal takes off his jacket. But Joe CHOKES Lethal! Singh gets in to SQUEEZE Joe’s head! Joe gets mugged again as fans boo! Joe passes out from Singh’s double claws! Then Singh stands Joe up, just for the LETHAL INJECTION! Lethal picks up the ROH World TV title to place on Joe, and then Sonjay puts a towel over Joe like he’s dead! Will Joe’s reign end before it even begins?
My Thoughts:
An awesome AEW Dynamite right here. Punk gets to be in another great opener, and Penta really gave him a great match. I was a little worried about Punk’s knee but I suppose that’s just Punk playing it up like the pro he is. Punk wins to be poised as #1 contender to whoever wins this Friday. Cole and Hangman had a very good promo vignette to hype up the Texas Deathmatch, and that is going to be awesome. I’m sticking with Hangman winning but he and Cole are definitely both gonna bleed. We got a great AEW World Tag title match, too, but I had a feeling Jurassic Express was gonna win. FTR showing up to confront reDRagon was good stuff, and I would love if FTR challenges Jurassic Express, ALL the belts on the line!
Good stuff from Blackpool Combat Club, they’re going to have a great Six Man against Gunn Club, and Gunn Club is not gonna know what hit them. Good stuff from Hook and Nese and Danhausen, Hook is going to have a great match on Dynamite next week, and you can bet Hook will also be facing Nese soon enough. Pretty good promo from Lambert, Ethan & Scorpio, and for once, I gotta agree: what happened to the Mixed Tag plans? Though, at the same time, I think we should be looking at Paige VanZant not being pro-wrestling ready in time. But maybe, win or lose between Sammy and Scorpio, we get that Mixed Tag later, for like Fyter Fest 2022 or something.
Great segment out of Rosa, Nyla and Vickie. Nyla proved that the reason she sticks around in these top feuds and title programs is because not only is she imposing in the ring, she’s hilarious on the mic. Rosa VS Nyla is going to be great stuff on a stacked Battle of the Belts II, which now includes the ROH world title. Gresham and Castle are going to have a great match and The Boys reuniting with The Peacock is an underappreciated part of this. We got a good video from Darby and that Coffin Match is gonna be wild. Malakai Black had a really good promo, and that thing about fearing the shadows, the House of Black is definitely adding new members.
Hayter VS Storm in the first round of the Women’s Owen Hart Tournament is great to hype things up, but there goes a semifinal match in my bracket. But at the same time, it takes away predictability since it was gonna be clear those two would meet in the later rounds. Great stuff out of The Pinnacle and Wardlow, and Dean benefits again. Wardlow VS Butcher is going to be badass, and as with all MJF’s feuds, he will have no choice but to face Wardlow in the end and their match can even be Wardlow winning his freedom from MJF.
Really good stuff out of JAS and Kingston-Santana-Ortiz. Good use of “on sight” on location at the airport, and then a great Six Man Tag. JAS of course cheat to win, they mug Kingston, Santana & Ortiz, but this is far from over. Not sure if two other guys join Kingston’s side, but that would be great for a 10 Man Tag, maybe even Blood & Guts II. Shafir VS Skye might be the only letdown of the night. It wasn’t even so much Shafir and Jade failed to play their parts. It was just too much interplay between Shafir and “the baddies,” and Shafir should’ve just had a solid match with Skye instead.
We got great stuff out of Keith & Swerve VS Team Taz because New Orleans was so hot for Starks, but quite the surprise from Taz interfering for his guys. Big win for Hobbs & Starks, we can continue this feud and get great singles matches between all these guys. And of course, we got an awesome main event out of Suzuki VS Joe. Suzuki loves chops, I love chops, I love that Suzuki loves chops, and I love that Joe, who is in both ROH and AEW, gets that ROH title. Now, some mixed feelings about how Lethal & Sonjay added on at the end. Lethal’s first surprise being a middle finger was hilarious, and for Satnam Singh, this is great for him to debut in a big story as Lethal’s muscle.
At the same time, that’s all this is. Lethal goes extra Heel by needing a giant like Singh, and my personal moment of, “Who is that?” killed the momentum. Could’ve been Lethal adding someone fans know from wrestling, like any name from ROH or AEW not doing a damn thing, but this sounds like some weird deal between AEW and Turner since Turner does a lot of NBA stuff. But it’s clear, Joe VS Lethal is the ROH World TV title feud, and the match will be awesome until Singh and/or Dutt interfere.
My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
He welcomes us to Dynamite tonight in El Paso, and he welcomes out the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner, Hangman Adam Page! The fans fire up as The Blackhat Cowboy walks out, King of Harts belt around his waist, and Schiavone brings up the great response from the fans. Hangman won The Owen in a dramatic classic on Sunday. The fans cheer, “You Deserve It!” as Hangman takes the mic. Hangman says, “Triumph. Triumph in life is fleeting, it’s momentary. You’re on top of the world for the night, and you wake up in the morning, and the moment you realize has passed you. But so is defeat.
“And in the past two years, and if I’m completely honest with myself, in the past three years, that is something that I let myself lose sight of. Because what matters is not the win, it is not the loss, it is what you decide to do with it that matters!” The fans cheer that! Hangman says at Double or nothing, two men entered the ring, and they both knew one would leave defeated. So before Hangman continues, he will say this to Will Ospreay. “Thank you. Thank you for the fight of my life! Thank you for reminding me why I decided to do this in the first place! And thank you for dispelling any notion that i had that you could not be the type of man to carry this company forward, because you can be!”
The fans cheer and chant for “Ospreay! Ospreay!” Hangman then says, while one tasted defeat, the other would taste victory. But he cannot relish in it! This moment is temporary and fleeting. Hangman will not hold this title, carry it or defend it. There will be another Owen Hart Cup, there will be another King of Harts. For now, Hangman returns this belt to AEW. Schiavone takes custody of the belt, and Hangman says he could stay out here all night and tell you how much this all truly means to him. But now, he must look forward to the one thing that for him, this has always been about: THE AEW World Championship!
The fans cheer that, and Hangman says that title has been the prize, the accomplishment, and the responsibility he has chased from the very moment we saw these three letters together for the first time. The fans chant “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Hangman says for seven MONTHS, that title has been hidden from the world, locked away in a briefcase. The fans boo, but Hangman says to him, that title was to be a shining light! A beacon to show the world what these three letters meant! It was about competition! About creativity! Compassion! Passion! And human dignity with which we all treat each other! That is what this is about!
The fans cheer more, and Hangman says on his first day in AEW, he told all of us, both here tonight and watching at home, that while he was here, we would be his boss. Tonight, he makes a promise. In seven weeks, here in Texas, Hangman will win the AEW World Championship! He will free it from the briefcase! He will hold it above his head for all the world to see! He will carry it and defend it with every ounce of his being, and that is a promise he will keep! But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Hangman is stunned, but here comes The Realest! Swerve steps into the ring to stare Hangman down, and Schiavone steps aside.
Swerve says, “I bet you wanna know why I’m here. So allow me to educate you and the fine people of El Paso, Texas why I’m here.” Swerve signals to the tron, and we flashback to April 9th of this year. Nick Jackson was explaining why The Young Bucks went and cost Swerve Strickland the AEW World Championship. They did it for their “good friend,” Hangman Page! Hangman wanted this! Swerve could not be world champion again, and The Bucks did that for him! They do not forget who their friends are! They love him, and they know he loves them. The fans boo and Swerve says he was looking at the same opportunity Hangman conveniently has now.
At Dynasty, the main event, Swerve had Moxley, he had the match won! And then so conveniently, The Bucks show up, who Swerve hadn’t bothered with since Blood & Guts, and they cost Swerve. But y’know who else was in the ring that night? Hangman Page. It is so funny how Hangman has his path to the title off Swerve’s loss. Swerve calls collusion! Hangman wants to make promises to the people of Texas? Let’s talk about a promise Hangman made. Hangman told Swerve to his face, in front of the world, that Hangman would never let Swerve be AEW World Champion again.
So Swerve is here now, staring Hangman down man to man, and he will ask Hangman, so don’t lie to him. Did Hangman do this? The fans chant “Tell The Truth! Tell The Truth!” Hangman says, “Well, dumbass… At Dynasty, I locked my eyes on you. Then I locked my eyes on Jon Moxley. And for one God forsaken second, I even thought about helping you. Swerve, if I had wanted to cost you that match, I would have done it myself to your face, because I have done it before.” The fans are torn, but Swerve says, “Sounds good, but you’re still full of sh*t.” The two jaw at each other while the fans rally up, but here comes Ospreay!
The fans cheer as the Aerial Assassin makes his way to the ring, and he has Swerve and Hangman back up. The fans are losing their minds seeing all three guys together. Ospreay borrows Swerve’s mic, and he looks to Hangman. The fans chant “BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay then looks to Swerve, and Ospreay says he hates getting involved in Swerve’s business. Swerve has looked after Ospreay since he was 20 years old, he’s like a big brother. “But you’re wrong about him.” Ospreay defends Hangman, saying you learn a lot about someone getting in the ring with them when the stakes are high. And stakes couldn’t get any higher on Sunday.
On Sunday, Ospreay left it all in the ring with Hangman, and he has never felt more defeated in his entire life. Hangman had an important decision to make. He walked up the ramp, turned back, picked Ospreay up, and he shook Ospreay’s hand like a man. Ospreay looked in Hangman’s eyes, and he could see that Hangman cares about AEW. It is funny, because Ospreay had that same feeling when he lost to Swerve last year and then did the same thing. Swerve picked Ospreay up. Look around. The fans cheer, and Ospreay tells them both, “People are starting to believe in us again. I hate saying this to you, because I love you… But it is not you. I thought it was me, and it’s not me. It’s HIM!”
The fans cheer, and Ospreay wants Swerve to look at him. They have one shot at this. And they can make this easier on Hangman if they all work together. Swerve, Ospreay, Hangman- Swerve SLAPS the mic down! Ospreay wants Swerve to calm it down but Swerve says he will never work with Hangman, never trust Hangman, and never forgive Hangman! Swerve storms off and Ospreay is disappointed. The fans boo, but Ospreay tells Hangman to let that go. Hangman says he will work with Ospreay, but he will not work with Swerve either. Hangman storms off now, but will these bitter enemies ever realize this is bigger than them?
The Death Riders arrive.
Claudio parks the truck, and everybody spills out of the back. Moxley leads the way for Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and even Gabe Kidd. Moxley says, “Welcome to Dynamite.” They step into the building, find their way to the crowd, and they’re ready to redeem themselves from losing Anarchy in the Arena. But will they tear up Swerve’s allies to send a message? Or will this conglomeration come out on top?
Mixed Six Tag: Gabe Kidd, Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir VS Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Willow Nightingale!
The trios sort out and the War Dog for hire starts against the Sussex County Chicken. The bell rings and the two run to DOUBLE LARIAT! They fire forearms back and forth, Gabe fires haymakers, but Briscoe gives those back! The fans fire up, Briscoe CHOPS, but Gabe CHOPS! The CHOPS keep going, then Gabe ROCKS Briscoe! Briscoe fires back with a flurry, but Gabe RAMS him into the corner! Speedball & Willow rush in, Moxley & Marina intercept, and the fans fire up as there’s brawling all over the place! Moxley DECKS Bailey, Marina KNEES away on Willow then TOSESS her! Moxley keeps after Bailey but Bailey hits back.
Marina and Willow keep fighting on the outside while Bailey KICKS Moxley against barriers. JUMP KICK! Willow digs her boot into Marina’s face! Gabe talks trash, but fans count along as Bailey rains down TEN punches on Moxley! Gabe whips Mark, Mark goes up and out to ROCK Gabe, RAM low, and then HOTSHOT! Gabe tumbles out to the floor, Briscoe is back in, and Bailey hands him a chair! The fans fire up as the chair is set up, and Briscoe shouts out to Sabu! TRIPLE JUMP DIVE onto the Death Riders! The fans fire up and Briscoe high fives the front row while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Briscoe high fives with Bailey and Willow, then goes back for Gabe. Briscoe CLAWS Gabe’s face, the ref sorts everyone else out, but Bailey sends Moxley into railing! Briscoe BITES Gabe on the forehead, then UPPERCUTS! Gabe flounders into the ring and Briscoe follows. Briscoe stands Gabe up to ROCK him with a right, and then he stomps Gabe into the corner. The ref counts, Briscoe steps off at 4, then he drags Gabe up. Briscoe tags Willow, they double whip Gabe and DOUBLE HIP TOSS! Willow flexes, then tags Bailey. Bailey & Briscoe double whip and they TRIPLE BOOT Gable! Cover, TWO!
Bailey stays on Gabe, brings him over, and he tags Briscoe. Briscoe UPPERCUTS Gabe, then CHOPS! Briscoe whips, Gabe reverses, and Moxley gets a cheap shot in! Gabe clinches for an EXPLODER! Tag to Moxley and he storms up on Briscoe. Moxley drags Briscoe over to then stomp him in the corner. Moxley soaks up heat, but that just lets Marina CHOKE Briscoe in the distraction!

The Hurt Syndicate speaks.
MVP says, “Tonight was not just a momentous occasion, it was a historical occasion, because two things happened tonight. This was the fifth consecutive, successful title defense of the AEW Tag Team Championships, and the debut of the young genius, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, as a full-fledged member of the Hurt Syndicate.” MJF says, “Bobby & Shelton are the most dominate tag team in the world today. Think of any top tag team in this sport, anyone, they’d beat ’em clean, easy. These belts ain’t going nowhere. Now that I am in the Hurt Syndicate, I am gonna make sure of that. And the Syndicate, we roll together, so we’re all collectively going to make sure we’re all strapped in gold.
“As far as my Triple B goes, my Big Beautiful Belt, my AEW World title is concerned, it will soon be around my waist. And if you find yourself in between the Hurt Syndicate and our goals, don’t be surprised if you wake up face down in a pool of your own piss and blood. But hey, man, when it comes to the Syndicate, it ain’t personal. It’s just business.” They all fist bump, but who will be next to step up and get stepped on?
Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.
The Superbad Girl says Anna Jay & Harley Cameron had to cheat to beat them on Sunday. Tonight, it is NO DISQUALIFICATIONS, just like Anna & Harley have always wanted. The Megasus says that means they are her next sacrifice. Will the path of destruction only be more destructive now that Megan doesn’t have to hold back?
Ricochet speaks.
The One & Only says, “I had told that everybody after Double or Nothing, after I had laid wasted to Mark Briscoe, I would continue my quest for gold. A quest that I have been on since day one here in AEW. But I stopped, and I take a second, and I look around AEW, and I get the lay of the land, and I start to see the landscape for what it actually is. I see the Death Riders, I see The Opps, I see the Don Callis Family, I see the Hurt Syndicate, and I think to myself… Ricochet needs a group. Ricochet needs a crew. Ricochet needs some loyal subjects that will follow and help him on his quest for gold.
“And once I do, once I find the perfect crew, then I will continue to show everybody why Ricochet is simply Outta This World. AHA~!”
No Disqualification Tag: Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!
For those who watched the Double or Nothing Buy-In, what part of that tag match did Harley & Anna “cheat” to win?

They are traveling the country, throwing these parties, looking for their next members. They were out on the town, and there was a sign with a saying that Jameson really likes: El Paso Strong!

The Protostar does not know whose call that was, whether it was Callis or Alexander, but he doesn’t care, because he does NOT need help out there, and certainly not to beat Adam Cole! He should be standing here as the NEW TNT Champion! But speaking of Cole, he comes running in and the two start throwing hands! Kyle has a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Security rushes out, separates the two, and Cole says Kyle is a dead man! Cole knows he had Kyle beat, but when and where will these two put the claims to rest?
Mercedes Mone heads to the ring!
The CEO struts her way out, carrying all her belts, the Owen Hart Cup on display. Mone grabs a mic and says, “El Pasooooo~! I now stand before you not only as the greatest TBS & Rev-Pro Champion of all time… But as the greatest winner of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament!” The fans are torn, but Mone says the legends, Owen Hart and her hero, Eddie Guerrero… The fans cheer for El Paso’s own, the late, great Latino Heat, and Mone says they do NOT compare to the greatness of Mone! That is why she is the CEO of AEW! But wait! Timeless Toni Storm makes her way out here! This face-to-face is now official as the AEW Women’s World Champion steps into the ring.
The fans cheer for Toni, and the two champions eye each other while Toni gets herself a mic. Toni kicks off the shoes and sets her belt down on the mat. Mone says, “Toni, darling, we finally meet.” The fans applaud that, and Mone says she knows these AEW fans are so sick of the black ‘n’ white. They want a champion full of color! The fans boo that, but Toni says, “Hello, Mercedes. I have waited so long for you. 441 days ago, you arrived in AEW on a show named after you. And since then, you’ve won titles, you’ve made history, and you’ve remained undefeated. But you have never once spoke to me. You have never once looked at me.
“You said that you’ve been watching me since before you even came here. You told Antony Khan that this was the one match you wanted to have. So, darling, what took you so long?” The fans cheer, and Mone says back, “What took me so long? Patience, darling, patience.” The fans boo, but Mone says this isn’t about Toni, this is about Mone and her legacy. And you think she’s going to go around backstage shaking just anybody’s hand? When Mone is the Beyonce of Women’s Wrestling? You gotta be kidding! The fans boo but Mone asks Toni, “Do you not know who I am? I am the standard, I am the conversation, I am the blueprint, I AM the revolution!”
Fans are torn, but Toni smirks as there are those who chant, “No, You’re Not! No, You’re Not!” Toni says she is the Toni Storm of Pro-Wrestling, and she swears to an unknown God that you have NEVER met anyone like her! The fans cheer that! Mone says yes, that’s right. This Toni, this “shy, nervous Toni Storm that I met ten years ago,” is very different. But so is Mone. Mone is not just a Boss, she is a CEO. She has beaten the very best from all over the world, from Mexico to Japan to England. And now at All In: Texas, Mone is bringing it home. We will have THE greatest women’s match of all time! Fans like the sound of that.
Toni says they have so many similarities. They both started so young, struggled on the indies, found success, were given trophies and flowers, and when those weren’t enough, they left it all behind to follow their hearts. And in AEW, they became exactly who they are meant to be! The fans cheer that! Mone nods, and Toni continues: There is one glaring difference. While Mone wants all the titles, Toni needs only one. Toni has lived for this title, she has cried for this title, she has bled for this title, and she has DIED for this title! The fans chant, “She’s Our Champion! Toni! Toni!” Mone is annoyed, but Toni keeps going.
“So if you want to ride the Money Train through the Toni Tunnel, I just hope you can get deep enough.” The fans cheer that! Mone says not even Toni’s hips are wide enough for the Money Train! Toni says 45 days form now, they will meet again in Texas. And somewhere in the world, a little girl with big dreams will be watching. She will say, “Holy S*IT, these b*tches are crazy!” And then, that little girl will find out who the better woman is! Toni sincerely believes Mone is the greatest of all time. But unfortunately for Mone, Toni happens to be TIMELESS~! The fans cheer that, and Mone scowls.
Mone tells Toni that Toni may call herself timeless, but what she deserves is for her time to come an end! Mone will see Toni at All In! Toni says, “See you at All In, darling.” The fans fire up as Mone puts her other belts aside to offer a handshake. Toin smiles and accepts. Then they bring each other in to stare down. Toni smells Mone, and then kisses Mone on the hand. Mone reels Toni in for a Gory Especial! Toni fights out to reel Mone in! Mone scrambles free of the driver, and the fans fire up! That was just a taste of what’s to come, but who will taste sweet victory when these two battle it out in Globe Life Field?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite to follow Double or Nothing while building to Fyter Fest and All In. Excalibur said himself that tonight paralleled Double or Nothing by bookending things with the Owen Hart Cup stories. Great opening promo from Hangman, Swerve and Ospreay. Swerve did have a good point of asking if Hangman was in cahoots with The Bucks, but we also know that’s not the case. And of course Swerve and Hangman will be at odds during this whole All In build. But just as likely, we will get a great “Avengers working together” kind of moment to finally take out the Death Riders and get that title off Moxley.
Great closing promo from Toni and Mone, with a good reference back to their time in WWE. I’m still hoping for them to put all the belts on the line so that they are truly going all in. But the tease of someone taking a finisher to the belt was good stuff. 45 days of build, who knows what else we get, but there’s also no guarantee that Mone keeps the TBS Championship. It’d be wild if someone took that title from her on the way, but it could be a point of pressure that Mone has to defend her other belts while Toni only has to worry about one.
Good debut for Thekla tonight, it was very in line with a Malakai/Aleister Black debut. Hayter seems to automatically be the woman who faces returning and debuting wrestlers and that’s not a bad spot, but it would be nice if she got to do title stuff. Great women’s tag match, and kudos to Harley fighting through a broken nose. But in the end, the Heels winning made sense when they lost at Double or Nothing. There’s talk of tag titles coming, but I don’t have faith in that when TK’s pacing of the women’s division still hasn’t improved. The current example is the poor planning he has with the ROH Women’s Pure Championship.
RIP the Frat House, their ceiling is ROH after getting crushed by The Opps. A little surprised we didn’t get Hook showing up or having a promo, but maybe that happens for Collision. The Mixed Six Tag was great stuff, and throwing Speedball in there was a little surprising until it was clear the Death Riders were winning that. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate, but every time MJF talks about “his” world title, it feels like Lashley wants to roll his eyes or something, because duh, why wouldn’t he and Shelton want their own shots at that title? If Moxley does lose at All In, and MJF goes after Hangman, you can bet MJF and Lashley butt heads again over who really gets the title match.
Good promo from Ricochet, but I wonder… Ricochet wants a crew, there’s a duo named CRU… Is Ricochet going to lead Lio & Action as a trio? And if it isn’t CRU, who would fall in line behind Ricochet? Unless that’s the point of his next story arc: failing to make a faction because he’s that insufferable. And great Don Callis Family stuff tonight. Cole VS Kyle was great, good move for Paragon to go after them, and that Six Man Tag on Collision will be fun. Alexander running out there really was confusing, not just kayfabe, but maybe they want to give Kyle an out. Kyle is great as a wrestler and a personality, fans surely will cheer for him over the rest of Callis Family, but we’ll wait and see how Cole VS Kyle 2 goes.
Alexander VS Brody was a great main event match, with great story of going after Brody’s hand. Alexander getting busted open hard way from perhaps that top rope stuff did add something. And honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised by Brody winning. Brody and Omega alone is great, but then it’ll surely be Claudio over Komander, and now Hechicero over Mascara Dorada to keep the two Faces and two Heels ratio.
My Score: 8.9/10

It’s the Double or Nothing Buy-In!
Join Renee Paquette, RJ City & Jeff Jarrett in discussing, predicting and analyzing all the action about to happen in Phoenix, Arizona!
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Lexy Nair asks the One & Only how he feels going into not just AEW’s first Stretcher Match, but his own first stretcher match against the unpredictable Mark Briscoe. Ricochet says Lexy is smarter than Renee Paquette & Tony Schiavone combined, but that’s not saying much. That said, this is his first Stretcher Match, but while some say Mark is unpredictable, Ricochet says Mark’s brainless. Speaking of brainless, there have been a lot of discourse online about the rules of a Stretcher Match, so allow Ricochet to explain.
Rule one: Ricochet incapacitates Mark long enough to place his dumbass on a stretcher. Ricochet then rolls said stretch up to the lovely ambulance the local hospital has supplied for them. Ricochet puts the stretcher in the ambulance, close the doors, and Mark immediately receives the best medical care possible for the beating Ricochet just put upon him! Um, what’s rule two? Rule two is that there ARE no rules, outside of rule one. AHA~! Ricochet heads out, but will he make this Stretcher Match #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he fail to #ManUp against the Sussex County Chicken?

Backstage interview with The Sons of Texas.
Alex Marvez is with Sammy Guevara & Dustin Rhodes, and he’s ready to rep the #DayOneGuys. Marvez notes Sammy was part of that very first Double or Nothing in 2019. Safe to say, things have changed? Yes, that is true. Sammy is a husband and dad! He has a legendary tag partner, and he even has new merchandise! But tonight, things change again as the Sons of Texas become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! The Natural’s very first AEW match was with his brother, Cody, and that remains one of, if not THE bloodiest match in AEW history. Is Dustin going to bring that same level of violence?
Dustin says yes, absolutely. He wants everyone to know that last night, he was pondering on this moment. He looked out the window and saw this storm rolling in. It didn’t look good. It looked really, really bad. Hurt Syndicate, the Sons of Texas want more gold. Understand, try and hurt Dustin! There’s nothing he hasn’t already been through! This is for ALL the gold! This is the Natural, Dustin Rhodes, a living legend! The Spanish God, Sammy Guevara! They are the UNDEFEATED ROH World Tag Team Champions! Do they have a chance? Yes, they do! On any given Sunday, anything can happen, so watch out!
You wanna hurt ’em? Bring the best you got, because it just won’t be enough! Dustin & Sammy want more, but will that ambition be their downfall? Or will they be the ones that hurt people?

While the Don Callis Family’s “big 3” are in action later tonight, Trent Beretta & Rocky Romero are teaming with Lio Rush & Action Andretti to show there are no weak links in the Family. But will RPG & CRU make it work? Or will the four high-flyers they’re up against be too fly to stop?

This was a wild way to wrap the Buy-In, and the ROH World Champion stands tall with his amigos! How much more madness will we see as AEW goes Double or Nothing?
The tradition continues…
Some events leave a mark. Fewer make history. Even fewer change history. But this event did it all! And though this is the seventh, luck will have nothing to do with it. Wills will be tested, violent acts will be committed, and legacies will be solidified. “With dreams of glory… and just plain anarchy!” Tonight, a mark will once again be left on the world. Because once again, AEW goes Double or Nothing!
2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Finals: Mercedes Mone VS Jamie Hayter!
The CEO may be down to #ThreeBeltsMone, but she still feels entitled to this tournament’s legacy, the trophy with Owen’s name on it, and the title shot that comes with it. But on the flipside, the former AEW Women’s World Champion will not be denied her redemption that has been a long time coming. Will the Money Train stay on track? Or will it be derailed when she learns Hayter Hits Hard?
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Hayter stands on the corner to fire the fans up more. Mone and Hayter circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Hayter powers Mone back but Mone turns things around in the corner. The ref counts, Mone smothers Hayter but backs off at 4. Mone hops up to soak up the cheers and jeers. Mone and Hayter go again, tie up again, and the fans duel. Mone waistlocks, Hayter powers her to a corner and fires elbows! The ref counts, Hayter stops to strut, and Mone scowls. Mone and Hayter go again, Hayter waistlocks, and she SLAMS Mone down! Mone scrambles away in a huff, but comes back for more.
Mone waistlocks, and CLUBS Hayter in the back! Mone puts Hayter in a corner to fire more shots on that back! The ref counts, Mone stops at 4, and Mone soaks up more cheers and jeers. Hayter rises and BOOTS Mone! And bumps her off buckles, to then fire LARIAT after LARIAT! Hayter then snapmares and BOOTS Mone down! Cover, TWO! The fans rally as Hayter drags Mone back up. Hayter fires forearm after forearm to put Mone in a corner. Hayter whips corner to corner, Mone reverses, and Mone LARIATS! Mone whips but Hayter reverses. Mone goes up and over to O’Conner Roll! TWO, but Mone rolls Hayter, TWO!
Mone runs, slides under, sunset flips to then have the leg! Hayter kicks at Mone, BOOTS her down, then grabs Mone’s leg! Hayter stands with a toehold, but Mone endures to push Hayter down! Now Mone has the toehold! Hayter kicks at Mone, and again has the toehold! The fans rally as Mone endures, and she kicks Hayter down! It is a battle of toeholds as Hayter again kicks Mone down! Hayter stomps away on Mone and the fans cheer! Hayter turns Mone over to stop that back, and then puts on the HALF CRAB! Mone endures, reaches out, then rolls to send Hayter into the ropes! Mone runs and METEORAS!
Hayter dangles over the floor, tries to sit up, but Mone goes out to the apron. Mone hits a METEORA to the floor! Mone smiles and the fans are torn while the ref checks Hayter. Hayter clutches her head, but she’s somehow still in this. Mone stands Hayter up and runs her hard into railing! Mone swaggers, mocks Hayter’s pain, then brings her up. Mone puts Hayter in the ring, steps over an arm and has LA MAGISTROL, but then into the BOW ‘N’ ARROW! Hayter endures as Mone bends her back! Hayter endures, the fans rally, and Hayter powers up, only for Mone to pull her deeper in! Hayter still endures so Mone rolls her to a cover, TWO!
Hayter fires body shots, but Mone CLUBS her down. Mone CLUBS Hayter again, then stands her up. Mone whips, runs up, and scoops Hayter for a SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! Hayter stays in this but Mone stays on her. Mone smothers Hayter into the mat, then pulls her back with a CAMEL CLUTCH! The fans rally and duel as Hayter endures. Hayter claws at the hands, fights around, and Hayter stands, only for Mone to STRAITJACKET BACKSTABBER! STRAITJACKET CAMEL CLUTCH!! Hayter endures and the fans rally up! Hayter powers up, slips back and stands up, to then RAM Mone into a corner!
Hayter throws elbows, but Mone THROWS Hayter by her hair! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Mone grins as she goes up. METEORA! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives but Mone wants arms! Hayter sunset flips that, TWO! Mone shoves Hayter, Hayter shoves Mone, then Hayter SHOTGUNS Mone down! Hayter rises, runs corner to corner, but Mone puts her on the apron. Hayter ROCKS Mone, then climbs up! Hayter HAMMERS Mone’s head, then lets her flounder. Hayter adjusts position, but Mone YANKS her down! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives that whiplash and the fans rally up. Mone drags Hayter up to bump her off buckles.

2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Finals: Will Ospreay VS Hangman Page!
While Jon Moxley continues his reign of terror, that is ironically in the background of this. The Aerial Assassin and The Blackhat Cowboy have battled long and hard to prove they are worthy of this moment, and of everything that has come before. Ospreay wants this, Hangman needs this, and while they’ll both give it everything they’ve got, only one of them can go All In. Will the story of the 2025 Owen Hart Cup be about Ospreay’s ascension? Or about Hangman’s redemption?
The bell rings and the fans fire up as the two stare down. Ospreay and Hangman step up, tie up, and go around. Hangman shoves Ospreay down, facelocks, but Ospreay switches that. They roll, Ospreay floats around, then pats Hangman on the back before backing off. The fans are torn but Hangman brushes that off. Hangman and Ospreay reset, circle, and the fans duel. Ospreay and Hangman circle, tie up, and Hangman headlocks. Hangman hits the takeover, denies the headscissors, but Ospreay fights up. Ospreay powers up but Hangman holds on tight. The fans rally more, Ospreay powers up but still can’t power out.
Hangman grinds the hold, but Ospreay spins to wrench and wrangle. Hangman fights up and wrenches, but Ospreay kips and kips and WRINGS Hangman out! The fans cheer and Ospreay takes a bow.

The ref counts, Hangman lets off, but he keeps his eyes on Ospreay. Then he whips but Ospreay rolls. Ospreay sweeps, covers, ONE! Hangman sweeps, covers, ONE! Hangman avoids as sweep to KICK Ospreay!
The fans cheer and Ospreay brushes that off. Ospreay fires a forearm, Hangman fires back and Ospreay stumbles! Hangman headlocks, Ospreay powers up and out this time, then drops down. Ospreay hurdles, Hangman denies the flip, but Ospreay avoids the lariat! Ospreay CHPOS, whips, Hangman reverses, Ospreay handsprings but Hangman catches him! GERMAN SUPLEX but Ospreay lands out!

Ospreay CHOPS, then follows Hangman again.
Ospreay bumps Hangman off buckles but Hangman DECKS Ospreay! The fans fire up and Hangman snarls. Hangman brings Ospreay up, CHOPS again, then throws hands.

PLANCHA, but Hangman catches him! FALL AWAY SLAM into LED barriers! The fans fire up while Ospreay slumps down! Hangman looms over Ospreay, puts him in the ring, then looms over him again. Hangman scoops Ospreay to FALL AWAY SLAM into buckles! Cover, TWO!
Ospreay toughs it out but Hangman stays focused. Hangman CHOPS, then bumps Ospreay off buckles. Hangman CHOPS in the corner, ROCKS Ospreay, then CHOPS again! Hangman fires those shots on repeat, then just HAMMERS Ospreay down! The ref counts but the fans cheer, and Hangman lets off at 4. Hangman drags Ospreay up, whips him to a corner, and runs up to LARIAT! Ospreay sputters and Hangman reels him in, but STUN DOG- NO, Hangman stops the stunner to hit a BIG back suplex! Ospreay gets up, takes a swing, but into another BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Ospreay toughs it out but Hangman clamps on with a chinlock.
The fans rally as Ospreay endures and fights around. Ospreay fires body shots, ROCKS Hangman, then runs, but Hangman RUNS him over! Hangman stomps Ospreay, kicks him around, and he eggs Ospreay on.

Ospreay rises up, brings Hangman around, and he CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS but Hangman blocks! Hangman ROCKS Ospreay, whips, but Ospreay grab ropes. Ospreay then DUMPS Hangman way out! The fans fire up as Ospreay climbs, but Hangman SHOVES him down!
Ospreay HOTSHOTS off ropes, Hangman triangle jump LARIATS! The fans fire up as Hangman goes up, up, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS!! Direct hit and the fans fire up again! Hangman shoves Ospreay into the ring, then POP-UP POWERBOMBS! High stack, TWO! Hangman steps through, and this is The Owen after all! SHARPSHOOTER!! Ospreay endures as Hangman sits deep! The fans rally, Ospreay fights around, and he pushes up to reach out! But Hangman pushes Ospreay down! Ospreay still reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Hangman lets go, having almost exhausted himself. The fans rally while both men catch their breath.
The fans duel while Hangman rises up. Hangman seems to be fueled by the fans here as he stands Ospreay up. Ospreay CHOPS, but Hangman gets in Ospreay’s face! Ospreay CHOPS, Hangman stares him down, repeat! Hangman corners Ospreay like that! Ospreay fires forearms, but Hangman ROCKS him! And SAIDOS! Ospreay staggers up, Hangman runs, and Hangman BOOTS!

Ospreay narrowly survives and the fans are stunned! Hangman grows frustrated, he pounds the mat, and the fans rally again. Hangman drags Ospreay up, Alabama Lifts, but Ospreay flails! Ospreay sunset flips, TWO, and Ospreay deadlifts into- NO, Hangman kicks free of Styles Clash! Ospreay still lifts, but Hangman slips free! Hangman underhooks, ANGEL’S WINGS!! Cover, TWO!!!

Ospreay did say he wanted a shootout in the desert with this Cowboy, and now it’s time! It may be past 10 PM in Arizona, but it’s High Noon for Double or Nothing!

Reload and BUCK- NO, Ospreay slips through! STORM – NO, Hangman lands out to BOOT, LARIAT, and then reload! BUCKSHOT!!! Cover, HANGMAN WINS!!!!!
Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner)
Another instant classic, and The Cowboy has his redemption! At least, redemption in this Owen Hart Tournament after he fell short in 2024. Will he have true redemption when he takes the AEW World Championship back? Will he be the hero that takes down Maniac Jon Moxley? Will AEW go All In with the Hangman?
Hangman goes to leave, but then decides to step back into the ring. The fans cheer for “Both These Guys!” as Hangman stands over Ospreay. Ospreay looks up, then manages to stand. The two stare down once again, covered in the confetti and streamers, and Hangman offers a handshake. Ospreay takes it, and the fans cheer the show of respect. Is this a sign that their gentlemen’s agreement stands? Will Ospreay and Hangman be allies against the Death Riders and tear them down together?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Double or Nothing, even with a mishap/misunderstanding on when Buy-In/Zero Hour started. Maybe AEW themselves thought they were doing more Buy-In matches, but I’m relieved it was only two. Great tag match from Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford, and a great win for the Faces. I almost thought Megan was going to turn on Ford for messing up, but maybe that happens the next time Ford loses a match for Megan. And great 8 Man Tag, with another great win for Faces, but it was definitely a filler-for-fun kind of match.
Great move bookending the night with the Owen Hart Cup matches, and Mone VS Hayter was a great opening match for the main card. Mone winning was mostly expected, and just me personally, I’m still disappointed that we’re not getting Mone VS Athena at All In. They teased it when the tournament started because Athena eyed the TBS Championship, but now, Athena barely even does stuff on ROH now and Mone is facing Toni Storm. Toni VS Mina was awesome, too, one of Mina’s best matches in or out of AEW, and the fans loved both of them so I don’t think the fans would’ve hated Mina winning.
Great stuff with FTR VS Nigel & Garcia but I’m also a bit disappointed we didn’t get anything from Cope. Not even like a tease that he’s on his way back to put some fear in FTR. I did like all the extra stuff with Schiavone, though. Awesome Stretcher/Ambulance match with Ricochet VS Briscoe, and Briscoe of course bled. Ricochet winning made sense, though, he’s on the rise and needs that momentum so he’ll be hot on the other side of a title story. A little surprised he isn’t in the International Championship field, but I guess having a match starring CMLL luchadores was a given to help prepare for Grand Slam: Mexico. Maybe Ricochet targets a top CMLL name for that show…
That said, I can’t believe Fyter Fest is going to be a FOUR HOUR SPECIAL, right before the FOUR HOUR Summer Blockbuster on June 11th! Way to make Grand Slam: Mexico feel important when it’s just a two hour show and then they go to Washington state for Collision that week. Of the field, Claudio definitely gets in, and I would think Josh Alexander does to represent Don Callis Family. That’s two Heels, so Mascara Dorada should get in and be another Face alongside Omega. It also works on the level that Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler and Omega is also Canadian so they will settle that argument Callis is making.
Speaking of Don Callis, the Six Man Tag of Don Callis Family VS Paragon made for a great buffer between Anarchy in the Arena and the main event. It was still a very good match, but I could’ve also seen this main-eventing a Dynamite or Collision. I’m surprised we didn’t get as much Kyle VS Kyle in that, but it did happen for the finish. Fletcher as the guy to go after Cole’s TNT Championship is a good choice. Konosuke doesn’t have to go for a title while he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion for NJPW, but I love that Brody, Ishii & Tanahashi reinforced Paragon. It is a partial tease for some Forbidden Door stuff but that’s not until August, so maybe we get some Conglomeration 2.0 on the way, under the Paragon nickname.
Great tag title match, and they made it fun despite everyone knowing it was going to be Hurt Syndicate’s win. MJF and Lashley being tense with each other just to show they’re palling around like that was clever, and now Hurt Syndicate checks off another team. Okada VS Bailey could be a sleeper hit of this PPV, and maybe of all month because both guys busted out so much of their movesets, countered a good amount of the other guy’s stuff, and then Okada still finds a way to win and cleanly. Okada himself should really hop right to another title story to stay hot with these big four hour shows they’re doing.
This year’s Anarchy in the Arena was wild, the wildest one yet I would think. A shame Eddie Kingston didn’t show, given the social media posts he had teasing it, but if he wasn’t 100% by tonight, it couldn’t be helped. Briscoe sorta jumps in as a great proxy for Eddie, though, and of course someone extra was needed with Gabe Kidd helping out. I like how Hook helped out just the littlest bit but is clearly feeling snubbed with how Hobbs joined the Opps to be a trios champion. That can be the next phase of the story for Joe since he isn’t THE world champion right now. Great finish with Omega’s “exploding” table and those spiked sneakers from Swerve.
And of course, Ospreay VS Hangman tore down the house. Well, the proverbial house was barely standing after this wild night but then it was just completely demolished with this main event. Ospreay and Hangman busted out just about everything they had, similar to Okada VS Bailey, and it really could’ve gone either way. I was pleasantly surprised to see Hangman got the win, though. I remember saying it a few years ago that Hangman’s entire career story has been perfect pacing and such, and I think I’m going to stand by it. He had his rough patches, but he’s got his redemption arc going now, and he has Ospreay as an ally along with the Faces we just saw in Anarchy in the Arena. They’ll be alike an AEW Avengers/Thunderbolts taking on The Death Riders going towards All In and it’ll be great.
