Backstage interview with the Hardy Boyz.
Lexi Nair says breaking news! Jeff Hardy has been medically cleared, he can compete tonight! He feels good, and the adrenaline from the fans- The Young Bucks barge in and has Lexi back off. They’re praying for Jeff, he scared them. What is he thinking? He’s been doing this for thirty years, he can’t be climbing ladders and do this stuff anymore. They need to think about their families. Jeff should just take the night off. If he doesn’t, he’s just a shell of his former self and Adam Cole will kick his ass. The Hardys tell the Bucks can stop with the #ChristianAF BS! Don’t worry about Jeff, he’ll be fine. He’s a legit Hardy, not a cosplayer like the Bucks.
The wimpy, whiny bitches, Matt & Nick, will never be tougher or better than them. And if the Bucks interfere, Cole won’t be the only member of the Undisputed Elite getting their asses whipped! The Bucks still wish Hardy luck, but will they listen to Matt Hardy’s warning?

Will these two have a drag down, knockout fight in Vegas?
Fuego Del Sol calls out the House of Black.
He knows what Malakai and his minions are thinking. They’re thinking Fuego just twists his finger because of his tornado DDT. No! He twists his finger in the air because he’s a little twisted inside. Hell, he must be if he’s still calling them out! They’ve made his life hell but Fuego was made to walk through fire! Now he evens the odds, with the Dark Order! This Friday on Rampage, they have the House of Black’s number! In fact, the odds are in their favor. You might say, they’re Ten to One. But will Fuego, Evil Uno and Preston Vance be able to do what no one has done and tear down the House of Black?
Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland VS The Workhorsemen!
The Limitless One is in his home state, and he’s welcoming everyone in Houston to Swerve’s House! But will these two keep their tag team momentum going? Or will JD Drake & Anthony Henry find a way not to bask in their glory?

Henry BOOTS Swerve, but Keith dodges the crossbody to POUNCE! Henry flounders up, Keith brings him in and Swerve goes up! SPIRIT STOMPS!! Cover, Keith & Swerve win!
Winners: Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
That #FallFromGlory was all Keith & Swerve needed to win! Fans sing, “OH~ Bask in His Glory~!” as Keith gets the mic. Keith says, “My state, I have some wonderful news! It turns out with that victory, the Realest, Swerve Strickland, and yours truly, THE LIMITLESS Keith Lee, have now become a top five ranked tag team.” But here comes Team Taz! The #AbsolutePowerhouses, Will Hobbs & Ricky Starks are here, and Starks says, “Well, well, well. That’s enough talking from you, Rex from Toy Story.” But those two are two of the most selfish jabronies! They think they deserve a shot when Team Taz is right here is insane!
Not only did Starks beat Jungle Boy, but he also beat Swerve’s ass, too! Swerve says Starks is dressed like a bar of soap with a pearl necklace on. Second, this is Houston, Texas. There is Southern hospitality. What did Starks’ mama teach him? But wait, here come the AEW World Tag Team Champions, and Christian Cage! Christian says Ricky thinks he’s smart, but too bad he’s not smart enough to know when to shut up! Instead, he’s walking around with his chest puffed out, dressed like he’s about to go golfing with Christian’s grandfather, and the title on his shoulder. Christian gets it, Starks thinks he’s ready for a real championship.
Now both these teams are worthy, but they’re not the best. Jurassic Express is the best! But they’ll go outside the box and challenge both teams! It’ll be a TRIPLE THREAT for the AEW World Tag Team Champions… AT DOUBLE OR NOTHING! Fans like the sound of that! And since we’re going outside the box, here’s another idea. Starks’ stupid look makes Christian want JB to get the win back. And a win over the guy who cost him that match! So Starks VS Swerve VS Jungle Boy, NEXT WEEK ON DYNAMITE! Fans also like how that sounds! Will that Triple Threat Singles be a great preview of the Triple Threat Tag we’re getting?
Tony Schiavone interviews Kris Statlander and Red Velvet backstage.
These former friends face off in the Owen Hart, and Velvet says they saved each other and all in the past. But that ship has sailed. Things are different now and Velvet wants to win the whole damn thing. So Kris better bring everything, because Velvet will, “The Baddie way.” Yeah, they’ve both changed, clearly. Kris wasn’t in this to begin with but she is taking the opportunity to the top. There is nothing personal, it is just business. And speaking of business, Jade Cargill walks in and says it is hilarious that Velvet made “alien girl” think they were ever friends. Velvet needed a real leader, in Jade. And Tony, cut the sh*t. Will The Chef cook Kris and head for the Cup?
MJF heads to the ring!
He has Shawn Spears with him, as always, and Spears has the leather strap! MJF has his music cut short, Houston boos, but MJF says he is clearly no longer in Long Island. He is in Houston, Te- then he gags. He’ll get it, he’ll get it! Sorry. He is in Houston- Huuuurr. HOUSTON TEXAS. There. And to be honest, everything IS bigger in Texas, because he’s seeing a bunch of dumb, grotesque, FAT hicks! Fans call him an A-Hole but MJF wonders if they mean him or the man he’s about to whip. MJF explains this to Wardlow: If Wardlow lays one finger during these lashes, if he retaliates, he doesn’t get his match with MJF at Double or Nothing, and he never signs with AEW.
Fans tell MJF to STFU but MJF keeps talking. He says that even if Wardlow retaliates, he can keep his job with MJF, so that he can keep shining MJF’s shoes. Because MJF is better than you, and you know it! Now send out the pig! Garage doors open in the back, and a handcuffed Wardlow is escorted into the building by security. And despite what is coming, Wardlow is not afraid. Fans chant his name and cheer him on, and Wardlow gets in the ring. MJF SPITS on Wardlow, but Wardlow just smirks. Wardlow stands at the center of the ring, and MJF LASHES him already. But Wardlow just laughs it off! Apparently that didn’t hurt.
MJF throws off his jacket and decides to LASH again. Still nothing. MJF gets serious and throws off his shirt, fans taunt him for how long that took, and then MJF winds up to LASH Wardlow again. And again and again and again! Was that already 10? Spears keeps MJF back as MJF shouts, “I HATE YOU!” Spears calms MJF down and MJF lets Spears try. Spears winds up and LASHES! Nope, still nothing. Somehow that’s only the eighth. Spears LASHES him again, and now it stings. MJF gets in Wardlow’s face but Wardlow has him back off. Just one last shot. Fans chant Wardlow’s name, and MJF gets mad.
MJF winds up and LOW BLOWS! Then he LASHES past ten!! Spears and MJF mug Wardlow, fans boo, and they CHOKE Wardlow! MJF gets the Dynamite Diamond Ring, and he DECKS Wardlow with it! Fans boo as MJF tears off his A-shirt. Then MJF tells Spears to finish this. Spears gets Wardlow up, fireman’s carries, and runs for the C4!! Cover, MJF counts it, and MJF says Spears wins! Spears flexes like he did something, and MJF says this is Wardlow’s fate! Wardlow ain’t making it to the PPV! MJF steps on Wardlow’s neck, but will Wardlow take all his anger out on The Chair Man inside the cage?
Roppongi Vice speaks.
Trent says it’s been a weird past few months, but RPG Vice is back together full-time! And they’re going to make a statement. And what better way than to go after something that has eluded them for so long: The ROH World Tag Team Championships! Rocky says that’s just step one. Step two: the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships! And step three: The AEW World Tag Team Championships! So all the fighting champs out there better be ready. RPG Vice VS FTR, ROH World Tag Team Championships! All FTR has to do is accept. They know Bret would.

The Blackpool Combat Club heads to the ring!
Bryan Danielson and William Regal enter together from the stage, and of course Jon Moxley leads Eddie Kingston, Santana & Ortiz through the crowd! And then, the Jericho Appreciation Society makes their entrance. Houston sings Judas for “The Wizard,” but then Angelo Parker has them stop! And no pyro, either! No sing-along, no pyro! Jericho takes the mic and says when fans want to sing, they’re excited. But meanwhile, last week, when the JAS was attacked by this gang of thugs, the fans cheered! Jericho says he started thinking: “Who could’ve put together this violent attack between all of these heathens?” It’s of course his old nemesis, Mr. William Regal!
Fans chant for Regal and Santana shakes Regal’s hand, even. Jericho says it’s been awhile. Good to see him. Honestly, thought he’d be dead by now. It’s amazing that after all the abuse Regal put himself through, he still has a working brain, sorta. Fans call Jericho an A-Hole, but Jericho says, “Talk about wasted potential.” All his wrestling skill and character, eh could’ve been one of the Greatest of All Time, just like Jericho. He should’ve been a world class champion ten times over, but instead ended up a world class addict. Regal has been fired from every company he’s ever worked for, and then weaseled his way into AEW on the coattails of his proteges.
Jericho says what a collection! Santana & Ortiz, who are too stupid that everything they had was cuz of Jericho. There’s Eddie Kingston, who fans are chanting for, and Jericho says he’s too stupid to stay home and take care of his family and his wife. Once again, if he needs any pointers, just have her give Jericho a call. And then there’s Bryan Danielson. “YES! YES! YES!” Possibly the greatest wrestler in the world today, yet nothing more than a squeaky clean nerd. Bryan never had a drink in his life, huh? Well stick with that lot long enough, and you’ll get disco biscuits and whiskey shoved down your throat until you have to join “the program” with Moxley!
“It’s a royal flush of losers right here! No wonder Moxley and Regal hang out so much, they’re birds of a feather.” Regal, Jericho’s advice is to go home, stay out of the JAS’s business, because otherwise he gets a fireball in his face, because Jericho is a wizard! Or… Maybe Jericho will just piss in Regal’s tea again. Regal finally speaks up. “Since 1997 when I first met you, I’ve had to listen to you with that whining, vile, pathetic, trap snapping voice of yours. And the only thing that could make me more sick to my stomach are the screams from a burning orphanage, so please be quiet.”
Regal says Jericho is right, he hit a few truths about the past. But there’s one thing these last 21 years that has kept Regal going through thick and thin: for every single time Regal was on a show with Jericho, and that’s hundreds of times, or even when Regal wasn’t wrestling Jericho, whenever Jericho was in the ring, Regal would go to his locker room and open Jericho’s bag to take out the toiletries and unzip it. Regal would take out the toothbrush and stick it right up his bum. Daniel Garcia says that is disgusting! How could Regal ever do that to somebody? “Well, actually, flower, I did it to yours last week.” WHAT?!
Jericho takes the mic back and has to get a certain taste out of his mouth. It’s obvious what they all want! They want a fight, right? It just so happens that at Double or Nothing, one of the greatest matches Jericho ever invented in AEW, THE ACE of AEW… Double or Nothing has been synonymous with this match type! The JAS challenges the BCC to the STADIUM- Moxley speaks up to say no. He ain’t doing that sh*t. They’re not getting sucked into the sports entertainment vortex. Stadium Stampede was a different time, and a different place. This situation calls for… JAS getting their asses kicked live and in living color in front of an arena full of screaming fans!
So here’s what happens at Double or Nothing: the five douchebags of JAS VS the five of Regal’s crew, gang warfare in anything goes, glorious violence until the JAS is all bleeding like stuck pigs! Fans like the sound of that. Moxley says call it whatever you want! Anarchy in the Arena! Pro-Wrestling VS Sports Entertainment! The beautiful art of what they love VS “a bunch of stupid bullsh*t!” Moxley hands the mic to Eddie and Jericho says if they want anarchy, fine! But JAS is a well-oiled machine. BCC has issues! In fact, the last time Moxley and Santana were in the ring together, they were trying to stab each other’s eyes out! The GOOD Eye for an Eye match!
And Danielson and Eddie have been after each other all year? What did Bryan say about Eddie? Matt Menard reminds us that Bryan called Eddie “lazy!” And what did Eddie say in return? That Bryan was a “judgmental prick!” Eddie says yes, he is. But let’s just hurry this up. Why wait for the PPV? Who cares about the fans or buys or ratings! Let’s just fight, bitch! Fans fire up for that one, and Hager is ready to go. But Jericho says nope. Eddie says they’ll just go after them then! But Bryan stands in Eddie’s way? Even Moxley is a bit surprised. Eddie shoves Bryan but Bryan shoves Eddie! Is Jericho right about the dysfunction in this destructive group?
Matt Sydal and Dante Martin speak.
Sydal wants to make sure Dante is seeing this. The BCC can’t get along with anyone because they only care about violence. And while they’re caught up with those sports entertainers, Dante can see it in their eyes. They just want to fight. So that is what these two will give them! But a fight with the two highest high-fliers in AEW is not something they’re ready for. And no one has to wait for Double or Nothing! They’ll do this on Rampage! Sydal & Dante just called out any two members of the BCC, but will they be the ones regretting this?
Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament Opening Round: Britt Baker w/ Jamie Hayter & Rebel VS ???
We saw one joker be dealt with, and now the Doctor deals with the other! Just who is taking on Britt Baker, DMD? It’s… MAKI ITOH!! The Cutest in the World is back in AEW, but will she be dance her way to the next round? Or will the Doctor be in the semifinals?
The bell rings and Maki is happy to see her tag partner, and vice versa. They hug, and then Britt asks Maki for a favor. Maki says of course, and she drops down!? Maki’s gonna let Britt win?! Nope, nevermind, Maki drags Britt into a cradle! TWO!! Maki almost had Britt and Britt is pissed! Britt ROCKS Maki with a forearm, and Maki cries…? Britt is confused, but then Maki stomps Britt’s foot! Maki does a little dance while she grinds Britt’s toes, then she flips Britt off. Britt slaps the finger away, swings on Maki but Maki dodges to run, and run Britt over! Maki roars, fires up, and runs, KOKESHI MISSES!
Britt hurries to get Maki’s arms! Rings of Saturn, but Maki gets a cover, TWO! Fans duel, Britt fires off forearms, and whips. Maki reverses but Britt SLINGBLADES! Cover, TWO! Britt rains down fists on Maki while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Britt mocks the V for victory then bumps Maki off buckles. Britt CHOKES Maki, the ref counts, and Britt lets off, to then ROCK Maki with a forearm! Britt sweeps the legs and digs her boot into Maki. The ref counts, Britt lets off, then she soaks up the cheers and jeers. Britt stomps Maki more, drags her from the corner, and she covers, TWO! Maki gets to ropes and scowls but Britt CHOKES her! The ref counts, Britt steps off, but Maki is getting mad! Britt brings Maki up to CHOKER her again! Britt makes Maki smile since she is the joker, after all. The ref counts, Britt lets off with a forearm, then swaggers about.
Britt brings Maki around, throws more forearms, then whips to LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Britt is annoyed but she clamps onto Maki with a seated cobra twist. Maki endures, fights, but Britt CLUBS her down. Maki still endures the hold and fans rally up. Maki fights up to her feet, throws body shots, but Britt ROCKS Maki with a forearm. Maki staggers and cries again, but Britt mocks her. Britt pie faces Maki so Maki scowls. Maki pie faces back, Britt drags Maki up and into underhooks. Dynamite returns to single picture as Britt his the BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Britt covers, TWO! Britt drags Maki up, but Maki snap suplexes first!
Fans fire up and Britt gets up to kick Maki down. Britt bumps Maki off buckles, throws more forearms, and she brings out the glove! Britt grins as she puts the glove on, then spells out “D M D!” Britt gets Maki up, bumps her off buckles again, but Maki’s hard head doesn’t feel it. Maki grins and shakes her head, but Britt bumps her off buckles again. Maki fires up and fans fire up! Maki headbutts the buckle to make a point! Britt isn’t sure what to do, Maki HEADBUTTS her! Fans fire up and Maki brings Britt in, TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Maki hurries to get Britt into the center and stomps her.
Fans fire up, Maki runs, but she fakes Britt out to KOKESHI! Cover, TWO! Britt hurries to SUPERKICK Maki down! Britt clamps on with RINGS OF SATURN! And then, she flips Maki off before the LOCKJAW! Maki taps, Britt wins!
Winner: Britt Baker, by submission (advances to the semifinals)
But before Britt can celebrate, here comes Toni Storm! The Lightning From Down Under stares down her next opponent and Britt mocks the rock ‘n’ roll, but will Britt be the one crying when it’s #ToniTime?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
He reminds us that it’ll be Britt VS Storm in the Women’s Owen Hart Cup semifinals, and it’ll be Samoa Joe VS Kyle O’Reilly in one of the Men’s Owen Hart Cup semifinals! And it’ll be a celebration of THREE YEARS of AEW at Double or Nothing in Las Vegas! But then out walks Serena Deeb! She apologizes for interrupting but she had to come out here to say she is so sick of hearing Tony Schiavone talk! What? Deeb heard what he said in the vignette. He said she couldn’t beat Thunder Rosa at Double or Nothing! Well, he simply predicted Rosa winning the match. Deeb can win against Rosa- Well that’s not what he said.
So congrats, Tony! After all your years in the business, in one interview, you made yourself a complete idiot! And speaking of idiots, Deeb remembers Dustin Rhodes saying his piece. Deeb knows Dustin is in the back and invites him to come out. Yep, here he comes! Fans cheer for The Natural as he goes to the ring. Dustin doesn’t get why Deeb’s doing this, but Deeb says of course Texas cheers Dustin. He’s a failure, just like all their sports teams! Fans boo Deeb and Deeb tells Dustin that she heard him be as much of an idiot as Schiavone. Hell, seems like JR is the only one with brains around here!
That cute little video of Dustin and his teacher’s pet, “I’m her coach, I’m her mentor~.” Deeb used to respect Dustin. She knows what he had to do to persevere, and he knows what she had to do. The dues she had to pay to make wrestling good for women today! The trials and tribulations she had to endure during “that” era! And still no respect. She put breast implants into her body just to satisfy some old perverts! She shaved her head just to show how bad she wanted this! So tell her, face to face, why did Dustin say Deeb can’t beat Rosa? No answer? Y’know why he can’t answer? Because Dustin doesn’t have the BALLS to!
When Deeb does beat Rosa to become AEW Women’s World Champion, Dustin will respect her! But speaking of, here comes Rosa! Deeb SLAPS Dustin, then eggs Rosa on! Dustin holds Rosa back! Rosa elbows Dustin away! She realizes what she did and apologizes, but Deeb gets the belt! BELT SHOT on Rosa!! Deeb smirks and leaves, belt in hand! The Wolf of Wrestling steals Rosa’s title tonight, but will she rightfully own it after Double or Nothing?
Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament Semifinal: Adam Cole VS Jeff Hardy w/ Matt Hardy!
The Undisputed Elite has two horses in the race, and while Kyle VS Joe is set for the second semifinal, we see the first one happen here tonight! Will the Panama City Playboy head to Las Vegas? Or will he be rendered OBSOLETE by the Charismatic Enigma?
But wait! Cole attacks Jeff during his entrance! Cole stomps Jeff on the ramp, then whips him into the ring! The ref reprimands, Matt is stunned, but Cole sets up on the ramp for “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” Cole gets in, but Hardy kicks him low! The bell rings, Jeff bumps Cole off buckles, scoops and SLAMS him, then goes up the corner! Jeff aims but Cole bails out. So Jeff goes to the apron and LEAPS onto Cole! Fans fire up with “DELETE! DELETE!” as Jeff puts Cole in. Cole bails out, Jeff pursues but Cole kicks low. Cole RAMS Jeff into the steps, then stares Matt down. Cole goes back for Jeff and puts him in the ring.
Fans rally, Cole drags Jeff up and reels him in, BACKSTABBER! Cole watches Jeff stir while fans rally up. Cole sits Jeff up, brings him around and bumps him off buckles as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Cole stomps a mudhole into Jeff, digs his boots in, but lets off as the ref counts. Cole takes a bow then goes back for Jeff. Cole wrenches and whips Jeff corner to corner, and Jeff bounces off buckles hard! Cole smirks and brings Jeff up to CHOKE him on the rope! The ref counts, Cole lets off, and Jeff sputters to a corner. Cole drags Jeff up, turns him, and hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Jeff is still in this and Cole is annoyed, but he soaks up the cheers and jeers. Cole clamps on a chinlock to grind Jeff down but Jeff endures. Jeff fights up and throws body shots, but Cole throws him down by his hair!
The ref reprimands, Cole picks Jeff’s hair off his fingers, then goes back to drag Jeff up and JAM him in the back with a knee. Cole has the arms for a motorcycle stretch! Jeff endures, fans rally up, and Jeff fights to his feet. Cole knees low, DECKS Jeff with a forearm, then brings Jeff back up to bump off buckles! Jeff flounders against ropes, Cole whips him to CLOBBER him with an elbow! Cole smirks and pretends to check a watch. Cole taunts Jeff and throws more forearms. Dynamite returns to single picture as Jeff hits back! Jeff dodges the haymaker to CLUB Cole and hit a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Leg Trap Cradle, TWO!!
Fans rally and Matt rallies the fans with “DELETE! DELETE!” Cole throws a haymaker but Jeff gives it back. Cole throws a forearm, Jeff throws a haymaker. Jeff gets the edge but Cole knees low! Cole blocks the first kick but not the SPIN BACK KICK! But Cole PELES! Jeff drops but Cole drags him back up, only for Jeff to suplex and GOURD BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Cole is still in this but Jeff grits his teeth. Fans rally, Jeff has Cole in a corner, and Jeff whips. Cole reverses then runs in, but Jeff elbows him away! Jeff goes up, WHISPER IN THE WIND SUPERKICK!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Cole didn’t get all of Jeff and that helps Jeff survive!
Fans rally, Cole takes down the kneepad and runs, but Jeff ducks! Jeff kicks for the STUNNER OF FATE! Then the INVERTED TWIST OF FATE! Jeff throws off the shirt and goes up top! Fans are thunderous and Jeff takes aim, SWANTON BOMB FLOPS as Cole moves! THE BOOM!! Cover, Cole wins!!
Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall (advances to the finals)
And now we have one half of the finals! Cole gloats, but Matt gets in to make sure he doesn’t add on. Cole stays back, but here come the Young Bucks! The Hardys turn around in time before they can set up, but then Cole CLOBBERS the Hardys from behind! Fans boo, but the Bucks give Matt the B T E TRIGGER!! They also stomp away on Jeff! But here comes Darby and STIIIIING! Darby TACKLES Nick, Matt goes after him and they brawl! Sting slowly approaches, and he goes after Matt and Cole! The Undisputed Elite can’t stay up, but here comes Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly! Fish KNEES Darby, then feeds him to Kyle for TOTAL ANNIHILATION!
Sting is still after Cole but reDRagon gets in! Sting goes after them with big haymakers, and then he fires off on Cole! Kyle SMACKS Sting with a chair! But it does nothing!! Fans are thunderous as Sting takes the chair from Kyle to SMACK back with it! But then the Bucks DOUBLE SUPERKICK SANDWICH Sting down!! Cole gets the chair, he puts it around Sting’s leg, and fans boo as the rest of the Undisputed Elite pushes the Hardys and Darby out! KING KONG KNEE DROP on the leg!!! Fish mocks Sting’s pain, and Cole even has another chair! But AEW’s out of time! Quick, check Twitter!
The Undisputed Elite continues the beat down, Kyle stomping Darby at the ropes! They then leave all four men behind to go up the ramp and to the stage for the group pose. They may be standing tall now, but will the Men’s Owen Hart Cup still be Undisputed?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite with almost all Owen Hart tournament matches. I was a little surprised Samoa Joe’s match opened the night, and what a great surprise that it’s “Johnny Elite” as the men’s joker. Also a little surprised Joe won when Lethal, Sonjay & Singh are still after him. But I also like that Best Friends/Roppongi Vice run them off, still wondering if we get a Six Man Tag of those guys before Joe and Lethal fight for the ROH World TV title. RPG Vice calling out a lot of tag team champions was cool, too, I would love of a big series of tag title matches between Double or Nothing and Forbidden Door in June. This could be exactly how FTR gets themselves to being TRIPLE Tag Champions.
And speaking of tag titles, a Triple Threat is a great move to accelerate things between Keith & Swerve, Team Taz and Jurassic Express. It is also a way that a team can win and get the belts off Jurassic Express without actually pinning Jurassic Express. If there’s a time for Christian to break off from Jurassic Express, it’d be after a big Triple Threat loss at Double or Nothing. The Triple Threat of JB VS Starks VS Swerve is going to be really telling towards the tag match. If JB wins, it basically foreshadows one of the other teams taking those belts. Fuego calling out House of Black and teaming with The Dark Order is a good move, and I almost hope Fuego officially joins Dark Order since Dark Order isn’t really interacting with Hangman anymore.
Hangman VS Konosuke was an awesome match, and Punk was good on commentary half complimenting and half insulting Hangman. Hangman of course gets the win for momentum, and he has a pretty great stare down with Punk. Still anyone’s guess who wins at Double or Nothing, but it’d be an interesting next phase for Hangman if he has to chase again. The lashing of Wardlow segment wasn’t quite as dramatic as I expected, though Wardlow basically has Goldberg entrance. But it was hilarious how Wardlow was no selling the lashing and it was pissing MJF off. I didn’t think MJF would kick Wardlow in the balls, but should’ve expected it. This only guarantees Wardlow beats Spears into a puddle next week despite MJF being special referee.
Britt VS Maki was great stuff, Maki is a great character. But I figured Britt would win, she’s a top star in AEW and her taking on Storm was definitely going to happen. Statlander, Velvet and the Baddies had a good promo segment together, Statlander VS Velvet could go either way, but I’m leaning towards Velvet having help from The Baddies. Kyle O’Reilly VS Rey Fenix was match of the NIGHT! Maybe even match of the week and match of the month. Kyle winning makes sense to give Undisputed Elite another contender, and maybe in the semifinals, Joe gets truly screwed over by Lethal so Kyle can advance. Cole had a great match with Jeff Hardy in the main event, and of course he won. We could still end up with Cole VS Kyle in the finals, which would be awesome for many reasons.
Deeb had a great promo segment with Schiavone and Dustin, and she made some strong points in regards to the WWE’s Diva Era and the BS that went on then. And sadly, it seems like that BS is coming back, if you look at how things are in NXT 2.0 and the WWE Women’s Tag Division. Rosa of course comes out to confront Deeb, but then Deeb stands tall. Pretty sure that means Rosa wins to strengthen her reign.
And I really liked what we got out of JAS and BCC plus Proud ‘n’ Powerful. I just knew Jericho would bring up Stadium Stampede as that literally is synonymous with Double or Nothing and Jericho, but of course they can’t do that, we’re finally leaving the pandemic era behind. While I was hoping we’d get Blood & Guts announced, I hope we get that after Moxley & Bryan destroy Sydal & Dante. Otherwise, it sounds like a slightly more chaotic Falls Count Anywhere type match, which I don’t see really working all that well as far as cameras keeping up with everything. And announcing Blood & Guts just makes sense because we have Regal here to shout the name!
My Score: 9/10

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!
But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here!

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?

As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?

Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?
Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.
They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!
And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.
But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!
The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-
Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.
Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

Julia Hart speaks.
“Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. I’m no coward. What you call tricks, I call advantages. I suggested that you watch your back. I gave you all the warnings. So I’m not understanding why you feel the need to call me classless and sneaky. I thought I was being more than reasonable. I know you’re strong, but are you smart? Are my ‘tricks’ too much for you? I guess we’ll find out January 1st, Fight for the Fallen. But remember: The House Always Wins.” The Princess of the Black Throne is ready, but will she learn Hayter Hits Hard?
Backstage interview with Mariah May.
Alex Marvez is with the AEW Women’s World Champion and says in one week’s time, it will be Mariah VS Thunder Rosa for the title, in a Tijuana Street Fight! Marvez notes that Mariah not only had some harsh words for Rosa, but for her father, as well. Mariah says, “Aw~, Papa Rosa is gonna be in the front row. Is that to watch the match?

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Darby Allin VS Claudio Castagnoli!
While The Relentless One has been after each and every Death Rider, he gets one served up to him on a silver platter. But will Darby bring down the Swiss Superman before the final round? Or will Claudio crush Darby’s hopes and dreams this close to Christmas?
But before Claudio even gets in the ring, Darby DIVES out onto him! The fans fire up as Darby fires fast hands! Claudio gets away but Darby pursues, jumps on, and throws more hands!

The fans fire up as Darby is up on the camera balcony! Darby SUPER CROSSBODIES Claudio down!
Claudio tumbles down the ramp and Darby sputters while fans lose their minds. The ref checks Darby, his fall was still really wicked.

The Swiss Superman screws over Darby, but then he gets that chair back. But wait, Ospreay slides into the ring! And HE has the brass knuckles that Claudio tossed aside! Ospreay dares Claudio to do something, but Claudio simply leaves. Does this mean Ospreay’s ready to ride against the Death Riders with Darby? Or will we see a Miracle on 34th Street send Ospreay and Darby to Worlds End?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here as the last one before Worlds End, and therefore a bit of a go-home in itself. While the continued feud of MJF and Cole has still been a bit clunky since they did the double turn, their faceoff did a good job addressing some of that. They got good digs at each other as always, and MJF snapping and revealing “the truth” was their big move to recover this story. We of course got a brawl, and good save by The Kingdom. It feels like MJF still finds a way to hold onto the diamond ring, but c’mon, how fitting is it for Cole to get a diamond.
Good bit with Toni Storm and The Vendetta, and Deonna’s reaction to Toni was great. Deonna is justified in thinking this is still an act from Toni, not a legitimate psychological problem, and Toni VS Taya will be good stuff. Good promo from Kris Statlander, good match from her and Penelope Ford, and of course a good win for Kris. Good promo from Mone to make Worlds End official, but as I’ve been saying, Mone is more likely to lose the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship as part of the big NJPW Tokyo Dome weekend. The irony is, Mina Shirakawa is her challenger and Mina shows up plenty in AEW, so I don’t know how that math is supposed to work.
Good promo from Mariah May as it also turned into a brawl with Thunder Rosa. As it stands, Rosa standing tall holding up the belt means she is NOT winning at Worlds End, but they could still give us a little more from Rosa and Mariah on Dynamite’s Christmas episode to turn the tables. Good promo from Julia Hart to respond to Jamie Hayter, they’ll have a good match. Good promo from Orange Cassidy to try and reason with Jay White and Hangman Page, but that’s all the more reason Moxley likely uses the challengers all against each other like he did on Wednesday. Though, it would be fun if they at least started the match all annihilating Moxley with their finishers, making us think it’ll work out in favor of “Team AEW.”
Good stuff with Big Boom AJ & Big Justice here tonight, both hyping up the show but also interacting with Jericho’s group and even Anthony Bowens. They’re adding some more foreshadowing to The Acclaimed breaking up, and I guess we’re supposed to see this as a positive move, Bowens feuding with Jericho. Unless Bowens is going to be the guy that dethrones Jericho for whatever ROH cable TV debut/return is planned, the Jericho Vortex strikes again. Bowens should be going for an AEW midcard title, but right now, those are all tied up what with the C2 going on and the International Championship being tied up in Worlds End and NJPW plans.
Speaking of the C2, great stuff with all the matches tonight. Shelton VS Garcia was great stuff, and while Garcia gets the win, they’re still giving us some set-up for a TNT Championship match of Garcia VS Shelton. Mark Briscoe of course made the save, but great surprise for Swerve to show up. Lashley VS Swerve for Worlds End just needs to be said, it already feels a given. All that brawling was also a good segue into Mark VS Mortos, and another great showing for Mortos, even in losing. But as Mark has already had all his matches and is at 9 points, Kyle doesn’t even need to win against Garcia, he just needs to draw so that Mark will be out, and Garcia with him.
While Ospreay VS Darby on Wednesday raised the bar, Ospreay VS Ricochet still had great stuff of its own. Plus, Ricochet is bringing out more of his Heel side what with using the ref, and Ricochet’s win puts the pressure on Ospreay for Christmas Dynamite. Now, no offense to Brody King, but I’m thinking Ospreay wins that to take one of the semifinal spots. Darby VS Claudio tonight was also great, but Darby doing his best Sting off the truss was not the best when he gets that whiplash on the floor. I really thought that match was going to be called for concussion protocol, but Darby’s weirdly indestructible.
Claudio still cheats this win so there’s more heat on the Death Riders and Darby is also behind the 8 ball. Ospreay making the save was good, we can definitely have another “Team AEW” VS Death Riders with Ospreay joining Darby and a couple others, but the way they did the order of matches, Claudio’s got a seemingly easy ride against Komander for Christmas. Though, how awesome would it be if Komander pulled off the spoiler? Or if they were really going to add some drama, they should create a situation where the Death Riders end up ringside, violating the Continental Rules of no cornermen and that disqualifies Claudio. Claudio misses out on the semifinals because of a technicality, sending Ospreay and maybe Ricochet to the semifinals.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?
Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!
The teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.
Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs even gets Konosuke to back down with a glare. Hobbs brings Cage up to fire forearms, then he tags Davis. Davis & Hobbs double whip and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE!

Cage stays in this but Davis bumps him off buckles.
Tag to Hobbs and he brings Cage out. Hobbs and Davis reel Cage in, fans chant “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! MEAT MEAT MEAT!” but Konosuke makes the save!

Cage rains down fists, the ref reprimands, but Cage steps off. Cage drags Hobbs up, bumps him off buckles, and tags Konosuke.

Konosuke rains down fists on Davis, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Konosuke tags Cage and Cage drags Davis up. Cage ROCKS Davis, whips him into a corner, and Davis hits buckles chest first! Cage RAMS into Davis, and RAMS in again, then CHOPS! Davis staggers but Cage whips him to ropes. Davis reverses, to dosido with Cage, only for Cage to CLOBBER Davis! Cage BOOTS Davis down, covers, but Hobbs breaks it! Cage gets mad and the ref reprimands Hobbs, then Cage soaks up heat from DC. Cage stalks Davis to a corner and fires haymakers! The ref reprimands but Cage DECKS Davis! Cage soaks up more heat while he flexes.
Holiday Bash returns to single picture while Davis crawls. Cage storms over but Davis fires hands! Davis CHOPS, CHOPS, but Cage JUMP KNEES! Cage whips Davis, Davis cartwheels and swings on Cage! Cage blocks, waistlocks, but Davis switches! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Davis rises and reaches out! Davis crawls, as does Cage, hot tags to Hobbs and Konosuke!

The straps come down, and Hobbs runs up, only for Konosuke to dodge!

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!
The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?
The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles.

Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!
Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?
Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again. Willow puts Harley in a corner, the ref counts, and Willow lets off. DC duels between Willow and Harley, and Harley wants a Test of Strength. Willow accepts the knuckle locks, but then Harley kicks low! Harley runs, wheelbarrows, but Willow turns that into a BIG back suplex! The fans cheer as Willow runs, DIVING BODY PRESS! Cover, TWO! Willow bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!
Willow brings Harley out with a smile, and scoop SLAMS her! Harley flounders, Willow storms up on her for another scoop and SLAM, right as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Willow storms around while Harley staggers up. Willow scoops Harley again, then carries her around to put her in the Tree of Woe! Willow stomps a mudhole in, then lets off to run up!

Holiday Bash returns and Willow CANNONBALLS, but Harley dodges! Willow hits only buckles and she hobbles after Harley. Harley kicks, KNEES, and ENZIGIRIS! Harley roars, runs, and SHINING WIZARDS! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but Harley grows frustrated. The fans rally while Harley waistlocks, but Willow switches! Harley kicks free to switch back, but Willow ELBOWS Harley back! Willow fireman’s carries, storms around, but Harley pops up! Harley fires down elbows, then victory rolls, TWO! Willow escapes and ROCKS Harley! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!
Harley survives but Willow roars! The fans fire up as the straps come down! Willow gut wrenches for the BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Komander circle while the fans bark it up. There are fans who sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~” for Komander as the two tie up. But then Brody picks Komande up with both hands, and puts him on the to rope. Brody pats Komander on the shoulder, and the fans bark more. Komander hops down, not intimidated by Brody’s size. Komander then dodges Brody, DROPKICKS him, but Brody CLOBBERS Komander on the return! Brody eggs Komander on and then scuffs him. Komander gets mad and CHOPS! Brody grins and eggs Komander on. Komander CHOPS, but Brody wants more!

Brody KNEES low and Komander drops. Brody CHOPS Komander again! Brody asks, “Are you done?!” Brody whips Komander, but Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges to then springboard, but Brody catches Komander with ease! Brody pops Komander up, but Komander pops free, sunset flip, ONE!! Brody drags Komander up and CLUBS him! Komander wobbles, Brody ROCKS him again! Brody drags Komander off the ropes, suplexes, but Komander slips around! SLEEPER! Big men still have to breathe, but Brody RAMS Komander into the buckles! Brody swings, misses, and that bad hand hits post! Komander fires KICKS on the legs!
Komander bobs ‘n’ weaves, kicks, mule kicks and ENZIGIRIS! Brody wobbles and the fans rally up! Komander knuckle locks, CHOPS, and he goes up and up and jumps around! But Brody breaks the grip and DOUBLE CHOPS Komander to the floor! The fans bark it up and the ref checks Komander while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Brody storms out after Komander, who is somehow still in this. Brody drags Komander up, and he whips Komander hard into railing! Brody revels in the DC dogs barking, and Brody stands Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander off his feet, then refreshes the ring count. Brody drags Komander up, and whips him hard into railing! So hard, in fact, that Komander goes up and over! Brody hurries to haul Komander back up, and he suplexes Komander to the floor! Komander writhes more while Brody refreshes the count again. Brody goes back to Komander, scuffs him, and brings him back up.
Komander KICKS Brody, CHOPS, but Brody CHOPS him down! Brody revels in the noise from DC while he stands on Komander’s neck! The ref reprimands, Brody steps off and rolls into the ring. Brody again refreshes the count so he can fetch Komander. Brody puts Komander in the ring, covers, TWO! Komander is still in this but Brody is more amused than anything. Brody paces then brings Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander to a corner, then revels in the noise a bit more. Brody then digs his boot into Komander, but lets off as the ref counts.

Another direct hit and Komander feels so close to his first points in the C2!
Komander hurries to get in the ring, but then slides out to start a new ring count. Komander climbs again while Brody rises. Komander watches Brody slide in, then tightrope walks to CIELITO LINDO!! But that was on Brody’s back! Komander pushes Brody but that’s a lot of dead weight to push! Brody sits up but Komander KICKS him! Komander roars, the fans fire up, handspring- TORTURE RACK! Brody flips Komander around, GONZO BOMB!! Cover, Brody wins!!
Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)
If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10
