And so, the Cold-Hearted, Handsome Devil and the Very Nice, Very Evil overlord join forces! Will Nese & Sterling regret ever wanting them to #SendHook? And to a lesser degree, Danhausen?

MJF VS Wardlow!

Try as he might, Maxwell Jacob Friedman could not keep the War Dog down under his thumb. And he couldn’t keep this match from happening, either! But can he find a way to keep Wardlow under contract and absolutely ruin the rest of his life? Or will Wardlow prove MJF isn’t better than anyone else so that the whole world knows it?

Wardlow is escorted from the holding cell and to the ring. Fans chant for “WARD~LOW,” and they tell MJF he F’d up big time! Fans erupt as soon as Wardlow walks out on stage and down the ramp. The cuffs are undone, the chanting echoes throughout the arena, and MJF bails out as soon as Wardlow steps in the ring. MJF wants Wardlow backed off so the ref has Wardlow step away. Fans want Wardlow to “F HIM UP!” in reference to MJF. MJF gets annoyed, but he gets in the ring. The bell rings, and MJF bails right back out. Fans boo but MJF just soaks up the heat. Wardlow stays cool as MJF paces around with the ring count.

MJF tells Wardlow to back off, and he does. Fans taunt MJF with, “HE SHOWED UP!” in reference to MJF apparently not doing his meet ‘n’ greets. Wardlow argues with the ref and MJF rushes in! MJF cheap shots Wardlow, but he doesn’t budge! Wardlow then reels MJF in! MJF scrambles away and fans boo. MJF tells Vegas to shut up, but then he says this is happening on his time. Wardlow goes out after MJF but MJF gets back in the ring to soak up the heat. MJF then dodges Wardlow again, except Wardlow drags him up to the apron! MJF shoulders in, slingshot sunsets, but he can’t bring Wardlow down!

Wardlow drags MJF up to reel him in! Bot MJF BITES Wardlow on the top of his head! MJF throws a forearm, then another, but Wardlow just flexes on him. So MJF pokes Wardlow in the eye! The ref reprimands but MJF doesn’t care. MJF headlocks, only for Wardlow to power up. MJF ducks and dodges, rolls under the boot, and waistlocks. Fans chant, “MJF, F U!” but Wardlow bucks the O’Conner. Things speed up, MJF drops then jumps, but Wardlow catches him! MJF hurries to RANA out of the bomb! Cover, TWO! MJF suddenly clutches his leg! Wardlow doesn’t trust that MJF’s leg is actually hurting, and neither do the fans.

The ref still has to be sure, and we all catch MJF digging the Dynamite Diamond Ring out of his trunks! MJF looks up and realizes he’s been caught. The ref takes the ring away and pats MJF on the shoulder! MJF realizes he’s dead and he begs for mercy! MJF says no one wants to see him get hurt, but fans chant, “YES WE DO!” MJF says he’ll double Wardlow’s pay! No, TRIPLE! Wait, wait, QUADRUPLE! Hmm… Wardlow shakes on it, but that’s to trick MJF. Wardlow won’t let MJF go, and he smiles. Wardlow kicks low, reels MJF in, and fans are thunderous! POWERBOMB!! Fans are loving this but we all want that “ONE MORE TIME!”

Wardlow conducts the crowd and obliges, he gets MJF up again! POWERBOMB!! But the symphony has only begun and Wardlow is feeling it! He gets MJF back up again, for a POWERBOMB!! That’s three, but we still need the quartet! Wardlow gets MJF up, for the POWERBOMB! Roll right back up, a FIFTH POWERBOMB!! Cover, Wardlow lets off?! Everyone is enjoying the karma being dealt out to MJF! Wardlow says here’s one more! Fans chant, “YES! YES! YES!” and POWERBOMB NUMBER SIX!! Well, is half a dozen enough? Fans are chanting “TEN! TEN! TEN!” Wardlow gets MJF up again and LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN here in Vegas!

Wardlow takes in a deep breath, this is cathartic! And y’know what? He agrees, let’s go to 10! Wardlow brings MJF up, POWERBOMB NUMBER EIGHT! NUMBER NINE!! The straps come down for NUMBER TEN!!! Cover, Wardlow wins!

Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall (freed from his contract with MJF)

FREEDOM! “WARD~LOW” has literally thrown MJF away and is now free to sign directly with AEW! As for MJF, medics get a neck brace, backboard and stretcher to get him out of here. Fans chant, “You Deserve It!” at MJF, has Wardlow not only rid himself but all of AEW of the Scourge of the Earth?

Tony Schiavone interviews Wardlow on the stage, and he reports that Tony Khan has made Wardlow ALL ELITE! Wardlow loves seeing the graphic, as do the fans! And they chant again, “You Deserve It!” in a positive light. Now that we have #AllEliteWardlow, will we also see Wardlow become a champion?

Winners: The Jericho Appreciation Society, by submission

This was not just anarchy, this was violence and malice! And somehow, someway, the SPORTS ENTERTAINERS won! But can they even call themselves that with how far they pushed themselves to win this fight? Or is that just the magic of The Wizard and his Jericho Appreciation Society?

 

Andrade El Idolo speaks.

El Idolo says he is not here in AEW to lose. He “acquired” the AFO from Matt Hardy, but this group is not working! They’re all losers! Jose, do you have the contract? Yes, the new contract for Andrade’s new business partner. No, his new friend. This man is the top wrestler in the world! One of the best! You know him, right? Y-Yes, of course! There’s a knock at the door, and Andrade has Jose answer it. IT’S TORO BLANCO, RUSH!! Andrade welcomes his long time friend, and they Los Ingobernables fist bump! Is AEW now property of the ungovernables?!

 

Backstage interview with The Men of the Year and Dan Lambert.

Lexi Nair asks them how it feels to finally put their rivalry with Sammy to bed? Uh, how does Dan feel? Golden! How does Scorpio feel? Oh so good. And for Ethan, a man who’s been pissed off every few weeks these last few months, he’s feeling great. Hell, it felt real good to get his hands on Sammy! But to be honest, it feels even better to be finished and done with those pieces of trash and finally finally finally move on to bigger and better. They’ve been going up and down the road, and now the book is finally closed. Kaz and Sammy will NEVER challenge for Scorpio’s TNT Championship. So who is next? Who thinks they have what it takes to be the Face of TNT?

In walks DANTE MARTIN! Angel Dorado tells Scorpio that just because Sammy can’t, doesn’t mean Dante can’t. Okay, okay. Scorpio has seen Dante wrestle, and he’s a great talent with a hell of a future. But he is not ready for the fire. If Dante wants it, come to SoCal and you’ll get your shot. But when you’re down on your back, looking up at the Hollywood sign, just remember that you asked for it. S C U in SoCal!

Slingshot, into a spin and fireman’s carry! GO TO SLEEP!!! Cover, Punk wins!!!

Winner: CM Punk, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Champion)

Hangman did it the right way, but that cost him the title! Punk is a champion in wrestling again after what feels like forever! And if this is how hard he fought to get this belt, how hard will he fight to keep it? How hard will Hangman have to fight to get this belt back?

My Thoughts:

What a night for AEW right here. Was this perhaps the biggest, longest Double or Nothing yet? It sure felt like there was more to it than before. And I can’t really complain about too much, a lot of this was great stuff. Well, okay, there are things I can bring up. There seemed to be technical and production aspects that weren’t the best, but just minor annoyances. And that I just knew Cole & Britt would both win the tournaments. And in the case of the Anarchy in the Arena match, that was exactly the chaos I expected where we couldn’t really appreciate everything going on, but we got to see everything that mattered in the end. I see now that they saved the dysfunction between Bryan and Kingston for this very moment, and that is why JAS won.

Jade Cargill is great in the ring and on the mic, but boy she sure ends up protected. But at least it’s as a Heel, Heels would want ways to ensure their victory. Bivens/Hathaway apparently swooping in to take Jade away from Sterling is a wild move, but Bivens is such a great talker, he’ll fit right in with The Baddies. The dysfunction between SamTay and Kaz was played up about as I expected, but I was surprised Kaz and Sammy lost. But I suppose it’s the best way for everyone to move on from this. Maybe Kaz and Sammy feud as they’ll blame each other for the loss. And I love that Dante Martin wants next. He’ll give Scorpio one hell of a match, but I would think Scorpion wins.

The main event was great stuff but in trying to figure out the crowd reaction, even commentary thought fans didn’t like the “preening” and needing to play things up both guys were doing. AEW being different from WWE, you go in expecting almost nonstop action and the character stuff is in the selling and facial reactions, not having to look to fans for the energy. A Heel like MJF can taunt a crowd to get them to boo more, but when Hangman was ready to slingshot, he should’ve just stayed focused on Punk. And while Hangman going Heel here would’ve been pretty wild, I do like how they kept him Face and now he’s a former champion.

I had a feeling his next chapter would be about finding his way back, and hopefully they can iron out the wrinkles with how this first reign went. And as for Punk, this win opens up a floodgate of matches he could have for the rest of this year and maybe beyond. And if AEW can manage it, we might see Punk VS Omega before we see Omega VS Hangman and/or Punk VS Hangman II.

My Score: 9.5/10

It’s showtime.” The Relentless One heads out, will he be leaving Tacoma in one piece?

 

Zero Hour – ROH World Television Championship: Atlantis Jr. VS Brian Cage!

The second generation star of CMLL has been holding onto this title through the summer, but we’re in Autumn now and that means a season of change. Will The Machine make sure Atlantis has a great fall? Or will Atlantis prove there is an answer to “Who betta than Cage?”

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who sets the pace for Zero Hour!

The Code of Honor is upheld and the bell rings. Cage runs up but Atlantis dodges to SUPERKICK! Cage staggers, Atlantis fires up, but then Cage CLOBBERS him! The fans rally, Cage whips, but Atlantis ducks ‘n’ dodges. Atlantis tilt-o-whirls but Cage throws him down to then basement DROPKICK! Cage drags Atlantis up, bumps him off buckles, and CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” and Cage ROCKS Atlantis. Cage whips Atlantis corner to corner, but Atlantis goes up, only for Cage to catch him! Fireman’s carry into F- NO! Atlantis lands out, kicks and KICKS! Atlantis runs, but into a SPINEBUSTER! The fans are torn but Cage says, “Who betta than Brian Cage!?”

Cage flexes, the fans cheer, and Cage goes to Atlantis. Cage stomps Atlantis, stomps right on the taped up shoulder and neck, then bumps Atlantis off buckles. Cage whips corner to corner hard and Atlantis falls to the mat. Cage digs a knee into the back neck, then flexes! Cage steps off, drags Atlantis up and RAMS into him. And RAMS into him again! Cage wrenches, whips, and Atlantis bumps off buckles again! The fans are torn while Cage lounges on a corner. Cage grins, storms over to Atlantis, and stands him up.

The CEO wants eyes up here, cameraman. “Tacomaaa~! Say hello to your Double Champion, The C E O. And we have arrived! Now where is my locker room?” Mone asks a AEW staff member that very question, and hopes she has her espresso machine. She has to get ready for the show. Queen Aminata steps in to say that she doesn’t care who Mone is, or how many titles she has, or what she’s done in this business. There is no reason to be rude like this. Oh, no reason~! Who even are YOU? Mone has no time for Aminata. Now, to her locker room! The CEO has disrespected a queen, will she come to regret it?

The Scapegoat has claimed everything he does is for the greater good of AEW’s future. But in reality, it seems to be more about Jack Perry being on top alongside The Elite.

Garcia changes targets from Perry to the Wolf of Wrestling! MJF has returned after being put on the shelf by Garcia!

MJF has them cut his music, but he has no mic in hand. MJF and Garcia are face to face in the ring, talking a lot of trash, but then Perry CLOBBERS Garcia! The fans boo and MJF steps back. The Scapegoat is a snake, and MJF grins because he’s a vulture! MJF takes off his coat, then his shirt, and he mocking asks if Garcia is okay, before raining down fists! The fans boo more, and now MJF wants a mic! MJF stands on Garcia’s neck as he says, “Danny, it’s been awhile since I saw you, buddy. As I recall, last time I saw you, I beat you without breaking a sweat. And then I went on to make several movies and several millions. Bu tone second.”

MJF rains down more fists! Then MJF says Garcia’s been up to big stuff since then, too. Apparently there was a bidding war? That was about as real as the Seattle Supersonics. The fans boo that but MJF says he’s talking, Seattle! Oh wait, this is Tacoma! WHO GIVES A S*IT!? But hey, Garcia, thanks for telling MJF that his Dynamite Diamond Ring was in a pawn shop somewhere in Buffalo. It took some time, but MJF found it! And now Garcia’s gonna kiss it! MJF puts the ring on his pinkie, kisses it himself, but ADAM COLE IS HERE?! Tacoma erupts and MJF has seen a ghost! The Panama City Playboy is back and the fans lose their minds!

Cole runs up, and he’s 100%! MJF runs away, he wants nothing to do with his former brochacho! MJF flees through the crowd, and fans join in on the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!!” Cole is back, MJF is back, but will one of these returns be cut real short by the grudge between them?

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy and Jerry Lynn.

Renee is with Freshly Squeezed and the Board of Directors member, and says Jerry has something to say to Cassidy. Jerry thanks Cassidy for the time, and wants us to know that he has been doing this for 40 YEARS, yet has never seen anyone like Cassidy. Cassidy is unique, special, connects with the fans, and even connects with other wrestlers. Jerry even dressed as Cassidy for Halloween last year. But Jerry just wants to know that while Cassidy has been through some stuff, Cassidy stepped up. With all the chaos going on, if Cassidy really wanted to, if he really tried, he could be the man around here. Just food for thought.

Jerry leaves, but in steps Hook. Hook says he should listen to Jerry. Cassidy is the man. Hook and Cassidy fist bump, and Cassidy definitely has something to think about. Will Orange look to have gold once again?

 

Prince Nana is here!

The fans cheer as he’s already in the ring, mic in hand. He plugs Prince Nana Coffee, but then says he has to bring out our man for the update. He is the Forever AEW World Champion, the most dangerous man in AEW, and his boss, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The fans fire up as The Realest makes his entrance, gets a spotlight and pyro, and he goes to the ring. The “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” continues, and then Nana hands the mic to Swerve. The fans chant “Welcome Home! Welcome Home!” and Swerve says, “Not gonna lie, man. It feels a little weird being out here without the AEW World Championship around my waist.

“But with that home welcoming, I’m kinda happy again. Thank you very much.” The fans cheer, and we get more “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve says they’re saying what he needs for him. But to cut to the chase, his medical update. It is a little wonky, he still has tingling in his neck that shoots to his waist, legs, and fingers. It is like all the things he said about Bryan is coming back on him. Karma’s a mug, huh? But that all said… Swerve is medically cleared. The fans cheer that! Swerve wanted to come out here and address his hometown, his people, and tell us all about the past, the present, and what he plans for the future.

But then Montel Vontavious Porter interrupts. A future? What a great segue, Swerve! Because the future is what MVP and Shelton Benjamin are here to discuss. But maybe minion Nana didn’t pass word along, because Swerve hasn’t called, answered emails, answered DMs, so maybe Swerve must be in deep contemplation thinking about his decisions regarding his future. MVP & Shelton join Swerve & Nana in the ring. MVP says they have history They go way back! In fact, MVP believed in Swerve even before Swerve did. MVP told Swerve about the great things that lay ahead. MVP is the one who said on The Wrestlers that their future was in great hands!

The fans chant “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” and MVP says yes, it IS Swerve’s House! It is! But see, right now, unfortunately for Swerve, his career is floundering. The fans boo, but MVP says hold on. His resume speaks for itself. One thing MVP is good at is taking former champions and helping them remember the things that what allowed them to be great. To ascend to the mountaintop and have the titles they should have. So now, let’s talk business. Swerve says first off, hello. Secondly, MVP did give Swerve a lot of great advice back in like 2017. Remember that match they had in Defy? Fans cheer that name drop!

And remember when Swerve won? Yes, MVP did! Swerve learned a whole lot that night that he still carries with him. And even further, Swerve saw MVP take a lot of great stars and put them to superstardom, above pro-wrestling! So inspiring! Just like Shelton Benjamin! The fans cheer as Swerve says Shelton’s a big inspiration to a lot of people! 12-year-old Swerve would be crying just standing here with Shelton! Shelton’s presence on TV meant so much to Swerve, because it paved the way for Black wrestlers in this ring, all because of Shelton. The fans cheer that!

But now… Swerve was watching the show. And Nana, the stuff MVP has been saying, it’s not wrong. Uh oh. The last couple months have not been good. Swerve can’t even remember what happened in the cage match from getting beat so bad. But since being with Nana, Swerve has lost the main event at All Out, has lost his childhood home, but most importantly, he lost the AEW World Championship. Swerve says that was all under Nana’s watch. On the other hand, Swerve wouldn’t have had all that if not for Nana. The fans cheer that! But then on the other hand again, Swerve and MVP go away back! The potential of what they could do in AEW… They could make some real history.

Swerve likes having power more than anyone. He is already the most dangerous man, so with MVP & Shelton, OH MY GAWD! Though, Nana, gotta say, there are a lot of things just kinda irk Swerve. Swerve is watching the percentages in his wages going up and up. Not sure what that’s about. Nana’s still selling weed to high schoolers in parking lots… So Hangman was right?! Swerve says yes, that’s still a thing. Nana is neurotic, sporadic, absent minded, but the biggest thing is… Nana is… family. And Swerve doesn’t turn on his back on family for anybody! The fans cheer as Swerve tells MVP to take his business cards and shove ’em!

The fans cheer, nana does his dance, and swerve says we’re in whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Shelton gets in Swerve’s face and says he misread the situation. See, they weren’t asking. They were telling Swerve that there is no Swerve without them. So he’s either with them or against them. Nana steps in, Shelton shoves Nana but Swerve shoves Shelton! MVP has Shelton stand down, they gotta pick their spot! Refs and Daniels rush out here, fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” but Shelton DECKS a ref! MVP says NO, that’s not how they do this! MVP and Shelton leave first, and the fans are on Swerve’s side. What will MVP & Shelton do to make Swerve pay for this disrespect?

AEW World Tag Team Championships: The Young Bucks VS Private Party!

Matthew & Nicholas Jackson have been acting less like The Elite and more like elitists, but they haven’t forgotten that Dynamite year one upset. In fact, they ended up losing to Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy more recently! Will The EVPs finally avenge those upset victories and ruin the party? Or will Quen & Kassidy make good on their SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS?

Amazing Red checks in with Private Party. He says it’s been five years since their big upset, but then they dropped the ball over and over.

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

In the crowd, we can see Top Flight, who felt they should be in this spot over Private Party, and Stokely Hathaway, who was told thanks but no thanks by Private Party. Matt has the “terrible music” stop, and he tells Private party that fine, yes, five years ago, Private Party beat them. We’ve seen the clips a million times, big deal. But five years later, and this is the biggest match of their entire careers, right? But after Private Party beat Bucks back then, what did they do? NOTHING! And so why do these dorks think they can win the titles now?

Because when Matt looks at them, he just sees two guys who will always just be a midcard act, and the closest they’ll get to the belts is sniffing ’em like this. The Bucks push the belts in Private Party’s face, but Private Party SLAPS back! The fans fire up, Private Party literally kicks The Bucks out of the ring, and the ref restores order.

Moxley is back on the BULLY CHOKE! Moxley pushes up as hard as he can, but Bryan endures! The fans rally up, and Bryan rolls through to then reel Moxley in! PILEDRIVER!!

Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! Moxley clutches his neck as he slowly falls back, and a standing count begins. Both men are down at 5 of 10, but they start to sit up. Moxley checks his neck, we’re at 7 of 10, and Moxley stands. Bryan goes to ropes, Moxley storms over, and the two stare down. The fans fire up as Bryan eggs Moxley on! The two circle, and Bryan says one for one! So Moxley fires a forearm! Bryan says okay, and he fires back! They go back and forth with forearm after forearm, but Moxley comes back as soon as Bryan hits him! The shots go faster and faster, “YES! NO! YES! NO!”

But then Bryan wobbles! Moxley has a sinister grin, and he sits Bryan up to KICK! Moxley runs, but Bryan blocks the boot! Bryan UPPERCUTS, UPPERCUTS and UPPERCUTS! Bryan whips, Moxley reverses, but Bryan ducks ‘n’ dodges to LEAPING LARIAT! The fans are thunderous again as Bryan rises again! Bryan storms up to KICK! KICK! KICK! “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan winds up, to BUZZSAW! The fans are thunderous again as Moxley falls over! Bryan fires up more, and he goes to the corner for “YES! YES! YES!” Moxley rises, but Marina hooks Bryan! The ref caught Marina, but Moxley hits a CUTTER!!

The ref finally EJECTS Marina! The fans fire up while Marina throws a fit! The ref says try him, see what happens! Marina has no choice but to retreat, and the fans sing “Hey Hey Hey~, Goodbye~!” Moxley scowls but he goes back to Bryan. Bryan slowly rises while Moxley paces. Moxley says this is how it has to end! Underhooks and- NO, Bryan wrenches to ROLLING ELBOW! Moxley ducks a roundhouse to GERMAN SUPELX! Bryan is right up to BUSAIKU KNEE!! Cover, TWO!! Moxley survives and the fans fire up again! The fans start singing, “You’re Gonna Get Your Effin’ Head Kicked In!” Bryan says yes he is!

Bryan grabs Moxley to DRAGON STOMP! Again and again and again, “YES! YES! YES!” And then omoplata, LEBELL LOCK!! Moxley endures, reaches out, and claws forward! Bryan pulls on the hold, then hooks the free arm! Moxley shifts to have a ROPEBREAK with his leg! Bryan lets go and Moxley bails out, but Bryan is not deterred. Bryan builds speed to DIVE! But Moxley catches him!! DEATH RIDER to bare concrete!! Moxley writhes while Bryan clutches his neck. Moxley hauls Bryan into the ring, stumbles in to cover, TWO!?!? Bryan survives and the fans are thunderous again!

Moxley sits Bryan up, leans on his old friend, and he rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS!! Then the SLEEPER! Bryan endures, pries at the hold, and the fans rally up as hard as they can! Bryan fights up, has Moxley as a backpack, and he marches over to the ROPEBREAK! But then Bryan climbs the corner! The fans fire up again, and Bryan goes to the second rope for a SUPER BACKPACK SENTON! Moxley lets go, both he and Bryan are down, and the fans rally up again. Bryan sits up, Moxley kicks at him! Bryan kicks back! The fans say “YES! NO!” as the two go back and forth with the kicks! Then “YES! YES! YES!” as Bryan fires off!

Bryan shifts Moxley around, has the arm, LEBELL LOCK!!! Moxley endures, claws the hold open and rolls, but Bryan makes it a TRIANGLE HOLD! Bryan fires elbows, Moxley endures and stacks, then pops free to float and REAR NAKED CHOKE, into an ARMBAR! But Bryan shifts, slips free, LEG CAPTURE SUPLEX! Moxley’s right up!? Bryan dodges him, to BUSAIKU KNEE!! Cover, TWO!?!? The fans fire up again, BUSAIKU- LARIAT!! Moxley hauls Bryan up, to LARIAT again! Cover, TWO!! Bryan is still in this and the fans stay fired up! Moxley paces, soaks up the heat, and vows to end it now.

Moxley drags Bryan up and underhooks, DEATH RIDER!! Cover, ONE?!?!? Bryan defies Moxley and the fans are electric! “YES! YES! YES!” and both men rise up. Moxley tells Bryan not to make him do this. Moxley sits Bryan up, but Bryan SPITS at Moxley, then SLAPS him! Moxley reels Bryan in, GOTCH STYLE PILEDRIVER!!! And then SLEEPER!! BULLY CHOKE!! Bryan flails, reaches out, pries at the hold, stands up again, and Moxley is again a backpack! Moxley slips down, squeezes tight, and the fans rally as hard as they can for Bryan! But Bryan is fading! Moxley brings Bryan down into the REAR NAKED CHOKE! BRYAN IS OUT?!?! MOXLEY WINS!!!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (NEW AEW World Champion)

The fans cannot believe it! They cannot accept it! But it is reality! The Maniac slays The American Dragon by squeezing the life out of him! And yet, he bows to show respect to Bryan? Bryan’s own promise was that as soon as he lost this title, he’d step back from in-ring competition. Moxley is now joined by his Blackpool Combat Club, Marina, Pac and Claudio Castagnoli. The title is put in a duffel bag for whatever reason, and Marina now has a plastic bag?! Moxley wants to do like he did to Bryan at All Out?! But here comes Wheeler Yuta AND Darby Allin! They run The BCC off and spare Bryan from more!

Darby eyes Moxley, dares him to try something, but then Yuta BUSAIKU KNEES Darby?!?! Even Yuta seems like he didn’t want to, but he fell back in line with the BCC! Is it because Bryan lost and there’s no reason to be loyal to him anymore?! Pac meanwhile stomps Darby into the corner, and Marina duct tapes Darby to the ropes! The fans cuss out Yuta, they boo The BCC, but Moxley stalks Bryan. Marina splashes Darby with water to wake him up to watch. Moxley gives Yuta the plastic bag!? Yuta shakes his head, but he still BAGS Bryan!!! The fans are losing their minds but Yuta tells Bryan to stop fighting it! Just stop fighting it!

Darby tells The BCC to stop this, and security rushes out here, but The BCC kicks them all away!! Yuta is choking Bryan out, even though he doesn’t want to! Private Party runs out here, they get kicked away! Jeff Jarrett runs in but he gets mugged, too! Moxley and Jarrett brawl but Moxley JAMS Jarrett with a chair! Claudio puts a chair around Bryan’s neck?!? Wasn’t taking the title and his career enough!? Darby SPITS at Claudio but he can’t do anything while stuck in the corner! Moxley gives the go ahead, and Claudio CURB STOMPS Bryan!!! Private Party & Jarrett keep trying, but now here comes the rest of the locker room!!

The Conglomeration, Hook, Daniel Garcia, Adam Cole, they all get out here and run The BCC off, but the damage has been done. Darby is freed from the corner, medical is hurried into the ring, and a stretcher is already brought out. The bottom rope is removed so the EMTs can bring Bryan out of the ring. The fans chant “Thank You, Bryan!” as this may very well be the last time anyone sees him on AEW programming again. Why did Moxley and the BCC have to go this far?

My Thoughts:

A mostly awesome WrestleDream, but much like All Out, mixed feelings with how a lot of things went. The Zero Hour had great stuff as always, but this one time, I felt like it only needed three matches. The best thing was the first match where Cage won the TV Championship. That is great for him, and for ROH overall since Atlantis Jr. is a CMLL guy and wasn’t always part of ROH programming. Cage can be a fighting champion, or at least I’d like if he was, and that’s going to be a lot of fun. MXM Collection’s third man reveal was cool for continuity from way back when, but still a letdown when this could’ve really freshened things up in The Acclaimed’s story, even if it meant Caster turning on Bowens to thereby end The Acclaimed.

Good win for Anna Jay in a really good match between her and Harley, the only other women’s match on the night. The 8 Man Tag match was a lot of fun, too, and it at least established Conglomeration being in town for things relevant to them. Cassidy’s promo with Jerry Lynn and Hook kinda didn’t need to happen tonight, though, that could’ve been a Dynamite promo. For that matter, same for Mone & Kamille disrespecting Aminata, they could’ve played that at the start of a Dynamite or Collision and still set up Mone VS Aminata the same way. Meanwhile, Kyle and Okada having their promo and brawl was the one thing that was fitting, since we saw Kyle in a match and Okada was free. That will be a great match, maybe for Battle of the Belts next Saturday.

Match order on an AEW PPV is always a touch confusing, but I appreciated Hangman VS White opened. That was a great match to really test White in his return, and a great win for it. Hangman might not let White move on yet, because for one, not sure who White’s other target could be. Christian Cage & The Patriarchy for taking the trios titles? That’d be fun. Awesome 2 Out of 3 Falls from Hologram VS Mortos, but I’m not sure it needed to be on PPV if there wasn’t really anything on the line. Granted, we all love Hologram and Mortos so who wouldn’t want to see this? A little surprised Rush didn’t show up, though, to try and establish a match with Hologram.

Great stuff in all the championship matches, but again, some mixed feelings. Mariah VS Willow was great stuff, and for a moment I thought Willow could’ve had it, but no, Mariah retains. No Mina Shirakawa at all but maybe she shows up for Dynamite as Mariah wants her celebration. Also, I’d like to think even if Britt had faced Willow on Title Tuesday and won then to be here tonight, she probably would’ve been fed to Mariah, too, for the sake of building Mariah up. At least, that would be fair, as Britt only just returned again after All Out and does need a little bit of time before she’s world champion again.

Great TNT Championship match from Perry and Shibata, and Perry snatching victory from the jaws of defeat was a great way to do that. We’ve seen that kind of finish here and there, so it was great for Perry to survive rather than beat Shibata. Plus, great opening for Garcia to confront Perry, MJF to return and confront Garcia, and then Cole to return and confront MJF. Cole VS MJF is finally going to happen, and perhaps it was best that things turned out like this. MJF reverted back to Heel, which is still his strongest persona, and Cole has proven himself a strong Face, these two can have a great match for Full Gear that sends the winner towards a title.

The International Championship Triple Threat was awesome, but I did not think they’d go this way with Fletcher. I thought Fletcher was going to save Ospreay from Callis, but apparently not. Fletcher now sees things Callis’ way, he turns on Ospreay, and other than maybe Ricochet helping out, Ospreay is likely fighting the Don Callis Family alone. Silver lining is Konosuke now has the title, as he has deserved a title for a long time. Meanwhile, The Bucks VS Private Party was awesome, BUT the wrong choice was made. After talking so much about “five years, what’ve you done?” and having Amazing Red join in on that entrance video, Private Party should’ve won and humbled The Bucks.

Even then, they did nothing with Top Flight or Stokely being ringside, other than both sides having cause to say “Told you so.” Granted, such a promo can happen on Dynamite, but they wouldn’t need such promos if Private Party won. Instead, Stokely could recruit a new team, or even just join Top Flight as their manager, and they take on Private Party to put over some young talent that fans all still really like. Briscoe VS Jericho was really good stuff, and it was properly overbooked with Keith & Bill getting involved, with Rocky & Cassidy stopping them. I’m personally glad Mark retained, we don’t need Jericho having the ROH title again, but it also did stop there from being twists like Rocky turning, feeling jaded over how things have gone on Dynamite and Rampage.

Great promo segment with Swerve and the unofficially “Hurt Syndicate” tonight. Swerve lived up to his nickname as he kept swerving us on which way he was going. Good reference of continuity between Defy, some implied WWE crossover, and then stuff Hangman brought up in the beginning of his feud with Swerve, lots of fun. But as I figured, Swerve did not leave Nana, he and Nana are sticking together. Good stuff from Shelton getting heated, but I was kinda hoping Bobby Lashley would show up to really get fans going nuts. Perhaps Swerve VS Shelton happens, Swerve wins, and then Lashley shows up then to set up a match with Swerve at Full Gear. Either way, it all feels like the trope of “You lose, you join up” will be used.

Great stuff with Darby VS Brody but WOW, didn’t think they’d go that hard with the steel steps. Great win for Darby, though, and great show of respect between him and Brody. Darby is certainly poised to go after the world title again, given his part in the ending tonight, and maybe it happens at Full Gear, but who knows. The world championship was awesome, even with Marina getting involved here and there, and it seems bare concrete is going to be the go-to move for Moxley and Marina. As I said at the start, mixed feelings. For one, Bryan passes out for the loss, but I suppose that’s the most fitting for Bryan. He wasn’t ever gonna tap out, and apparently Moxley has no move that can take Bryan out for the pinfall, it’s one of those “body gave out before his spirit did” tropes.

The biggest mixed feeling is everything with what happened after. On one hand, I just knew Yuta was joining BCC again. The way they framed that shot of Darby staring Moxley down, Yuta was primed to attack Darby. But on the other hand, they really went to a scary place with how they didn’t just beat up Bryan, but they went like rated R action movie with this. The plastic bag, the choking, the chaos of other Faces running out there but getting fought off, the chair around the neck, all well done to stir up these feelings, but still… It was one thing for this to be Bryan’s last match and we could say #ThankYouBryan and it’s bittersweet, but it’s another to push the envelope and (even if it’s just kayfabe) make this feel like Bryan’s last moment on camera period.

My Score: 9.1/10

Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly VS The Kingdom!

The Conglomeration continues to battle familiar foes and common enemies, and that’s why they’re facing Mike Bennett & Matt Taven. Will Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist keep the hot streak going? Or will Bennett & Taven make sure no one can help Mark Briscoe against Chris Jericho this Saturday at WrestleDream?

The teams sort out, Cassidy and Bennett start, and the fans rally for “Freshly Squeezed! Freshly Squeezed!” Bennett and Cassidy circle, tie up, and go around.

Winners: Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly, by submission

Cassidy & Kyle keep things going, but they offer handshakes. The Kingdom take them to show respect, will these two teams move on from here as friends now? Will Cassidy & Kyle be poised for tag team championship opportunities after WrestleDream?

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Renee Paquette doesn’t do the CEO introduction she did on Tuesday, but now it’s not good enough for the Two Belt Boss! Mone says she needs something something, more flava. Then joining her now is- Okay, no, Renee is better off just asking the questions. Renee congratulates Mone on her double title defense victory on Title Tuesday, but those chops from Emi Sakura…! It was like one after another! Wasn’t it like 30 or something? Mone & Kamille tell Renee to stop. Mone is still feeling the pain. But she is The CEO, she has no time for this, it is time to handle business. She has to go jump on her private jet, something Renee knows nothing about!

But Kamille is staying here to watch Kris Statlander very closely. And do you know why? Because money changes everything! Bye-bye, Renee. Mone heads out, Brickhouse stays, and Renee sheepishly exits. Will Kamille make sure the #BornAgainKristen doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk?

 

The Acclaimed VS ???

Speaking of talking and walking, Platinum Max Caster leads the way for Anthony Bowens as they- GET JUMPED BY MXM COLLECTION!? The fans boo as Mansoor & Mason Madden beat down Caster & Bowens! Mason may have been a football player but he dribbles Caster off the ramp while Mansoor stomps away on Bowens! Mason RIPS the customized jacket, to then CHOKE Caster with it! Mansoor runs Bowens right into the side of the tunnel! MXM is getting revenge for their New York fashion show finale being ruined, and they place The Acclaimed side by side on stage.

Mansoor has Caster’s mic to say, “Now you see what happens, huh!? Now you see what happens when Daddy Ass isn’t around to protect you. We drop you on YOUR asses! And I bet you didn’t think we could do it, huh? I bet none of you thought MXM Collection were capable of this!” Bowens tris to sit up but Mansoor stomps him down. Mansoor says MXM didn’t wanna take it this far! They wanted to keep it light. They wanted to keep it fun. But Acclaimed took something special from them! They took MXM’s Grand Slam Collision moment away!

“So now, we are going to take something from you. Tomorrow night, WrestleDream, MXM Collection BEAT The Acclaimed, and WE are going to take YOUR spot!” The fans boo, but Mansoor says when numbers are even, MXM come out on top. Tomorrow night, MXM will have a very special surprise in their corner. It will be a third man, and Acclaimed, Mansoor promises them, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that third man will make sure they KILL scissoring and bury it once and for all! Mansoor then shouts to Mason, “Touch! My! Tip!” They finger boop as the fans boo, but both challenge and promise have been made. Who will be that third man, brother?

 

Kris Statlander speaks.

“You ever feel like somewhere along the way, you lost who you were? That’s exactly what happened to me. When you make a change, you need to think where you went wrong or how you got there. For me, everything went wrong when Mercedes Mone showed up. My best friend became obsessed with her. I let Stokely get in my ear, and I got led down the wrong path. I didn’t know who I was, but I did what I needed to do. And on the five year anniversary of Dynamite, I was reminded of who I am. I became ‘Born Again Kristen,’ and I am the biggest, baddest, strongest woman in AEW. I’m coming for Mercedes Mone and her TBS title.”

The Galaxy’s Greatest has her head on straight, but will she be able to earn that shot at championship redemption in the background of WrestleDream?

 

Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.

Renee is with Cassidy, Kyle and Rocky, and she commends Cassidy & Kyle on their win over The Kingdom. And tonight, Rocky is going to step into the ring with “The Bad Apple,” Bryan Keith. How does he feel ahead of his match? Rocky says he’s a little pissed. On Title Tuesday, The Learning Tree said Rocky was just some lackey for The Conglomeration. But Rocky is no man’s lackey! Tonight, he shows the Learning Tree, and most importantly Bryan Keith, that Rocky is his own man. Kyle says that’s right, Rocky. But um, Mark Briscoe isn’t here tonight, so what’s the word of the day? Kyle really needs to know.

Rocky says the word of the day is they stand back here while he handles business. Rocky heads out, will Azucar get himself some sweet victory? Or will The Bad Apple make him taste bitter defeat?

 

Kris Statlander VS Amira!

With The CEO’s Brickhouse watching backstage, #BornAgainKristen looks to keep her win streak going. Will there be no stopping Kris on her road back to the TBS Championship?

The bell rings, and Kris runs right up to UPPERCUT Amira in a corner! Then she goes side to side to KNEE Amira, and reels her in for a suplex! Kris holds Amira up to show off that strength, and then she SLAMS Amira down! Kris kips up and the fans fire up! Kris storms back up on Amira, but Amira fires forearms! Kris shoves Amira, Amira ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Kris stops the rana! Tuck and STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall

Another win that wasn’t just strong, but fast! Kamille is only moderately impressed, but will she be feeling different about Kris after they have a head-on Collision?

 

Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.

Renee is with The Learning Tree and brings up tomorrow night, WrestleDream, and the ROH World Championship match with Mark Briscoe. However, Jericho has quickly made this match personal with Mark, what is going on? Jericho smiles and says, “Hi, guys~! You know what’s personal to me, Renee? It’s the legacy of Chris Jericho. And after 34 years in this business, I can honestly say I’ve done and seen it all. I have headlined the biggest buildings in the world, from the Tokyo Dome to Madison Square Garden, to Rod Laver Arena in Sydney, Australia. Arena Mexico, everything. Nobody has had the impact over generations like Chris Jericho has.

“And now, it’s the dawn of a new Chris Jericho. As you know, I always reinvent myself, evolve. I was The Ocho. But now, it’s time for The Nueve. And Mark Briscoe, you know what the word of the day is? It’s, ‘Humbled.’ And you need to be humbled. Cuz you got a great rep, everyone feels for you. They give you a lot of free rides. You get to cut a lot of corners. The fans feel the same way, I don’t. So at WrestleDream tomorrow, I am going to humble you, Mark Briscoe. And if I made things personal, that’s just too bad. If I’m getting inside your head, that’s just what Chris Jericho does.

“So tomorrow at WrestleDream, I will become the ROH World Champion, for a second time! Just like Jay Briscoe, two-time ROH Champion. And Mark, that’s going to be personal. See you tomorrow. The Nueve’s coming. Thanks, guys~!” Jericho stops smiling, but will he fail to keep that promise against a very angry Sussex County Chicken?

 

The Beast Mortos VS The Butcher!

Roderick Strong is on commentary to claim Beast Mortos has simply wondered away from The Kingdom, and he just needs to see he cannot trust Jake The Snake Roberts. But will Mortos only focus on destroying his opponent? Or can The Butcher make Mortos in a prime cut of beef?

The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. The fans rally, the two tie up again, and then the two break again. Butcher and Mortos fire up, tie up again, and push each other back and forth. Butcher puts Mortos in the corner, the fans chant “BEAT THAT MEAT!” but the ref counts. Butcher backs off, he and Mortos reset, and they tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but now Mortos powers Butcher back. Mortos lets off, but then SMACKS Butcher! The fans fire up as Butcher snarls. Butcher and Mortos tie up, and Butcher wrenches an arm to a wristlock.

Mortos goes up the ropes to flip through! Mortos wrenches, headlocks, but Butcher powers out. They RAM shoulders, and Butcher says Mortos’s got nothing! Mortos runs, he RAMS Butcher again, and Butcher says that’s nothing! Mortos fires up, runs, and RAMS Butcher again! Mortos eggs Butcher on, so Butcher runs, and Mortos drops! Mortos runs up, Butcher dodges but Mortos dodges back! Mortos rolls off Butcher’s back, then SOBATS! Front kick! ELBOW! Snapmare, and NECK TWIST! The fans fire up with Mortos, even Roddy cheers, and Mortos runs up. Butcher BOOTS back!

Butcher fireman’s carries, GUTBUSTER DROP, then LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Mortos survives, but Butcher stands him up to fire forearms. Butcher whips, Mortos reverses, then runs in. Butcher BOOTS Mortos, but Mortos fires up! Mortos runs in, Butcher dodges, and Mortos hits the corner! Mortos tumbles up and out, Butcher pursues, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Butcher CLUBS Mortos, then brings him around to whip into the apron! Butcher LARIATS Mortos down, and he looms over the beast. Butcher drags Mortos up, to then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Mortos staggers then falls over, and Butcher refreshes the ring count. Butcher ROCKS Mortos, CHOPS him, then stalks him around the way. Mortos SMACKS Butcher! Butcher ROCKS Mortos! Butcher SMACKS Mortos off the steel steps, then stalks him around the way. Butcher ROCKS Mortos again, Roddy shouts for Mortos to get going, but Butcher BITES Mortos on the forehead! The ref reprimands but Butcher stalks Mortos.

Butcher BOOTS Mortos, puts him in the ring, then storms over. Butcher drags Mortos into a chinlock and digs fingers into Mortos’ face! Butcher CLUBS Mortos but Mortos fires body shots! Mortos backs Butcher down, fires up, but Butcher CLOBBERS him from behind! Butcher drops a knee on Mortos, Mortos goes to a corner, and Butcher digs his boots in. The ref counts, but Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns and now Mortos has Butcher down. The fans fire up and Mortos storms up to LARIAT! But Butcher stays up! Mortos LARIATS again, but Butcher shakes his head. Mortos runs, but Butcher ROCKS him first! Butcher runs, but Mortos follows to SPLASH at the ropes! Mortos runs and baits Butcher in! HEADBUTT! Mortos roars, but DOUBLE LARIATS take both behemoths down! The fans fire up and a standing count starts. Butcher and Mortos slowly rise, and they go to opposite ends. Mortos storms up to fireman’s carry and WASTELAND SLAM! The fans fire up as Mortos climbs!

The fans fire up as Mortos PHOENIX FLOPS as Butcher moves! Butcher runs up, waistlocks, half nelson and BACKBRAEKER! Then a deadlift JACKHAMMER!! Cover, TWO!! Mortos survives and Butcher is frustrated. Butcher points to the corner, climbs it, but Mortos CLUBS him! Mortos torture racks Butcher, BACKBREAKER DROP!! Even Roddy is stunned! Mortos hits a FLYING HEADBUTT!! Cover, Mortos wins!

Winner: The Beast Mortos, by pinfall

Roddy says he was Mortos’ good luck charm! Jake the Snake is watching, he likes what he sees from his new client. But will Mortos be able to bring down Hologram in their WrestleDream Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match?

 

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee is with the wild Aussie and asks if there’s any update on Saraya, who suffered in that brutal loss on Title Tuesday in that Fatal 4 Way. Harley says yes, Saraya is once again “incapacitated.” Then how is Harley holding up? She’s capacitated. What? Exactly! But do you know whose fault this really is? Does Renee know whom? Who? No, whom. Just say whom. ANNA JAY! What? She wasn’t even in the match! Exactly! It was an Anything Goes, so Anna could’ve been that anything, but she didn’t show up. Harley had to pull wood outta her ass, but where was Anna? Probably home watching her Stardom tapes? Ohh~!

All of a sudden, Anna goes to Japan and now she’s too big for the rest of them? Anna was supposed to be Saraya’s friend, but she wasn’t there, and now Saraya is pissed. And when Saraya is pissed, Harley kicks ass! Renee is confused, Harley says no more questions, and Harley storms off. Will the Star of the Show pay for simply doing nothing?

 

Lance Archer VS Matt Brannigan!

He may be part of the Don Callis Family now, but he’s still the Murderhawk Monster! He demolished people in the parking lot, he demolished his opponent on ROH last night, will he just keep on demolishing people until he’s become a champion?

The bell rings and Brannigan flexes right up in Archer’s face, but then regrets it. Archer choke grips, but Brannigan slips free! Brannigan dodges in the corner, CHOPS, but again regrets it. He CHOPS again, and again, then tries a choke grip! Archer just pries the hand away to LARIAT Brannigan inside-out! Archer whips Brannigan, BACKDROPS him, and the fans fire up! Brannigan goes to a corner. Archer runs in to ELBOW! Archer keeps going, and he ELBOWS Brannigan again! And then ELBOWS him again! Brannigan falls, the fans fire up, and Archer drags Brannigan to his feet. Double choke grip, for a TOSS overhead!

The fans fire up while Brannigan flounders. Archer reminds us, “EVERYBODY DIES!” Archer stands Brannigan up, tells the ref to back off, and he CHOPS Brannigan down! The fans fire up, Archer puts Brannigan back in the corner, and he fakes the chop. The fans boo but Archer puts Brannigan up top. UPPERCUT, and then crucifix lift! BLACKOUT BOMB! Cover, Archer wins!

Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall

Callis loves the dominance of his Murderhawk Monster, but will Callis help Archer finally have gold here in AEW?

 

Jake the Snake speaks.

It was just after Title Tuesday and the world saw La Faccion Ingobernable join this living legend when Jake Roberts said, “Anybody that knows Jake Roberts knows that Jake Roberts has been all over the world, wrestled everyone. From Andre the Giant to Hulk Hogan and back. It did not matter. But they also know that Jake Roberts never cared about rules. Rules are for children. We’re not children. My friend, what we have here, matadors? Maybe. Maybe ninjas, who knows. I will tell you this: They’re hungry. What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. Because when Jake Roberts tells you something, you can take it to heart.

“Rules are meant to be broken, like bones. And my friend, they’ll be glad to do both for you.” Rush tells us all to remember: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! LFI throw up the fists, who will get those fists in their face in the very near future?

 

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.

Renee is now with The Star of the Show and brings up the harsh words from Harley. Harley blames Anna for not being a friend? Anna says yes, that’s right, they’re not friends, never were friends. It was a one-time team up, and they took some nice pictures, but Anna’s not running out to the ring to help two women who wouldn’t even spit on her if she was on fire. Anna takes care of herself, and that is fine. She has her own back, and needs both hands. What has she been saying since getting back? #JustTryMe. So what’s so hard about that? Anna is here and ready for anyone.

Harley wants to kick Anna’s ass? This one? Anna shows it to the camera. Just a heads up, this ass can kick back. Harley has been warned, will she reconsider her misplaced aggression?

 

Rocky Romero VS Bryan Keith!

Azucar may not be on the current Conglomeration merch shirt, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less a part of the team. Will Rocky make sure everyone, especially The Bad Apple, understands that?

But Keith doesn’t wait for the bell, he attacks Rocky at the corner! The bell does ring, Keith fires off forearms, and the ref reprimands. Keith lets off just to dig his boot in, but the ref tells Keith to stop. Keith snatches Rocky’s eyepatch away, then SMACKS him with it! Keith CHOPS Rocky, whips him corner to corner, but Rocky goes up and up to CROSSBODY! Rocky rains down fists, and he fires up! The fans fire up with Rocky but Keith bails out. Rocky finally takes off his jacket, and goes out after Keith. Keith knees low, whips, but Rocky stops from hitting steps! Rocky SMACKS Keith off steps, then uses steps to go up and FLYING RANA!

The fans fire up while Rocky gives some Latino Heat. Rocky puts Keith in, climbs a corner, but Keith bails out. The fans boo, but then Rocky WRECKS Keith with a dropkick! Rocky hurries out after Keith and the fans rally again. Rocky uses steps again, but Keith catches Rocky! EXPLODER to the floor! Rocky writhes and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Keith storms up on Rocky, rains down fists, but stops as the ref reprimands. Keith paces around, drags Rocky up, and CHOPS him! Rocky staggers away, Keith storms up and CHOPS again. Keith whips Rocky hard into railing! Rocky falls in a heap but Keith still seethes. Keith drags Rocky up, puts him in, and then drags Rocky up just to snapmare him back down. Keith drops a knee on Rocky’s face! Cover, TWO! Keith argues the count but Aubrey defends that two is two. Keith storms after Rocky to CHOP him in a corner. Keith stalks Rocky, bumps him off buckles, then puts him against ropes!

Aubrey counts, Keith lets off, and Keith puts Rocky in a corner. Keith whips corner to corner, Rocky reverses, then Rocky runs up to LARIAT! Rocky fires up, runs again, LARIAT! That’s two-ever but Rocky keeps moving, only for Keith to use Aubrey as a shield! Jericho really has taught him well. Rocky helps Aubrey aside, and he fires haymakers on Keith! Rocky ROCKS Keith, then whips corner to corner. Keith reverses, runs up, and he LARIATS Rocky inside-out! Keith then shouts at the camera, probably “RESPECT CHRIS JERICHO!” Keith clamps onto Rocky with a chinlock and grinds him down.

Rocky endures, pries at the hold, and fights up to his feet. Rocky fires body shots, then ROCKS Keith! And ROCKS him again! Keith CHOPS, Rampage returns to single picture, then he runs up. Rocky BOOTS back, but Keith just roars! Rocky BOOTS him again, then CHOPS Keith on the back! Rocky CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Keith in the chest, then puts Keith in a corner. Rocky KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away, then stomps a mudhole! Rocky digs both boots in, but Aubrey counts. Rocky lets off and is all fired up, as is Spokane. Rocky waits on Keith, runs in at him, but Keith dodges! Keith runs in, but into an UPPERCUT!

Rocky goes up and up and FLYING TORNADO DDTS! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives but Rocky stays focused. Rocky drags Keith up, then runs up to SLICED- NO, Keith slips free of the bread. Keith fires elbows, Rocky ducks one, but Keith runs up ropes! Rocky denies Keith his tornado DDT, and then wrenches, only for Keith to ROCK him! Underhooks, TIGER KNEE STRIKE! Cover, TWO!! Rocky survives and Keith is stunned! Keith pulls at his hair in frustration but the fans rally up. Keith tells the kids to sit down, and he watches Rocky go to a corner. Keith runs in, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI!

Rocky goes up, leaps, but into another clinch! EXP- SUNSET FLIP! Keith rolls through, blocks a kick, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Rocky runs up, SLICED BREAD!! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives again and the fans fire up! Rocky pounds the mat, the fans rally behind him, and he goes to a corner. Rocky climbs, but Keith hurries after him! Rocky fights the clinch, ROCKS Keith, but Keith RISING HEADBUTTS! Keith roars, fans boo, but Keith climbs up. Keith turns Rocky around, and BITES Rocky’s head! Aubrey reprimands, but Keith brings Rocky up, only for Rocky to fight! Rocky HEADBUTTS, and cravats!

The fans fire up for the SUPER SLICED BREAD!! Rocky clutches a leg, crawls to the cover, but Keith rolls away! Keith saves himself and fans boo as he goes to the floor. Rocky is frustrated, but he just builds speed. Rocky DIVES and down goes Keith! The fans fire up again and Rocky hobbles after Keith. Rocky drags Keith up, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally again. But Keith talks to Aubrey about pain in his neck. BIG BILL APPEARS, and he YANKS Rocky down! Then he BOOTS Rocky down! The fans boo but Bill puts Rocky in, Aubrey completely missing it! Keith runs in to KNEE Rocky at the corner!

Keith goes up and he reels Rocky in! DIAMOND DUST!! Cover, Keith wins!!

Winner: Bryan Keith, by pinfall

Kyle & Cassidy hurry out here but it is too late! The Bad Apple scores his win off Azucar, and he leaves to celebrate with The Redwood. Will there be no stopping The Learning Tree from having gold in his branches? Or can Mark Briscoe #ManUp and prevent The Nueve’s arrival?

My Thoughts:

A very good Rampage, even for a go-home, but clearly it suffered from the same dilemma as Dynamite in that with no Collision to take the pressure off, a lot more promos and story build had to be put here. Good promo from Mone to play off the one from Tuesday, good promo from Statlander to give us some idea as to why she got away from Stokely, and of course Kris squashes her opponent. Kris VS Kamille is going to be great stuff, and I think Kris sets herself up for a match with Mone at Full Gear. Good promo from Harley and Anna to set up their own match, which I would think Anna wins to get going towards her own title shot.

The Acclaimed being scheduled for a match just so MXM can jump them was pretty clever, but do they really need to have their match on WrestleDream? It feels like the only reason it’s a PPV match is because this third man will pull a Hulk Hogan founding NWO type move. It’ll be a Face going Heel and joining up. I don’t think it’ll be Daddy Ass, there has been no hint he wants out of The Acclaimed. It might be Caster because he wants to break away and prove he on his own is “The Best Wrestler Alive.” This blindside attack would then be a way to disguise that, because Caster got beat up as much as Bowens, but I guess we’ll wait and see.

Mortos VS Butcher was great stuff, and I found it kinda funny that Roddy was on commentary trying to still turn Mortos back to his side. Roddy & The Kingdom claiming all this stuff about Mortos has been pretty funny because clearly it’s all their delusion. Mortos is LFI, he and Hologram are going to have an awesome, potentially show stealing match, and then win or lose, Mortos and LFI will beat up The Kingdom. As such, good promo from Jake the Snake, I really hope LFI gets going this time. Meanwhile, Archer of course destroyed Brannigan, and likewise, let’s hope Archer can get a title now that Callis is his guy.

And really good stuff out of The Conglomeration’s story tonight. Very good tag match to open, can’t go wrong with Cassidy & Kyle VS Kingdom. What’s interesting was the respectful handshake after the match, so that further implies The Kingdom is going Face so they can battle LFI. Good promo from Jericho to give some last hype to the ROH World Championship, but I would hope Mark Briscoe wins. Rocky had a very good promo with Conglomeration, and a great match against Bryan Keith. But I just had a feeling Keith would win thanks to Bill, and good detail that Conglomeration didn’t get out there in time. That technically did honor Rocky’s request that they stay back, but Rocky should’ve known better. I would hope Rocky doesn’t cost Mark the title, we cannot go back to “Ring of Jericho”. No Nueve, por favor.

My Score: 8.6/10
