PLAY BY PLAY
It’s the WrestleMania Backlash Kickoff Show!
Join Kayla Braxton, Kevin Patrick, Booker T, John “Bradshaw” Layfield and Peter Rosenberg in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the action tonight!
MVP joins the Panel.
Montel Vontavius Porter says he’s a little nervous being on the panel. But with everything he’s done for Bobby Lashley, leaving him and joining Omos is what for him? Booker T corrects Kevin Patrick by saying Lashley abandoned MVP. MVP thanks Booker for that, and JBL says MVP ought to slap Kevin Patrick. Booker asks how MVP feels about being abandoned. Well he felt some kinda way, but he never let those emotions affect his business decisions, because that is what this was. It was a business decision to move on to bigger and better.
So there is no concern that emotions will hinder his guidance of Omos? If MVP allowed his emotions to guide his decisions, he’d be a very unpopular radio show host who is unpopular with hip hop fans in New York. Kayla says some might use- Who are those people? Well, just some people. MVP was key to Lashley’s success, but MVP is perhaps hopping on an Omos “bandwagon.” Why is Omos more of an attraction? Because MVP is with him. MVP is the X factor. Without MVP, Lashley is just “Bobby.” Then MVP made him the All Mighty. But now, Omos has MVP and becomes The Colossus, the Nigerian Nightmare, and with MVP’s guidance, become bigger than even Lashley.
JBL says they need to get past the woke, “oh how are you feeling?” questions and that crap. How BAD is Omos gonna beat up Lashley? That’s what MVP was waiting for! Omos will make a point. At WrestleMania 38, that was embarrassing. Omos came to MVP, knew what MVP did for Lashley, and that Lashley abandoned MVP. So Omos wanted MVP to give him that guidance. Expert tutelage and coaching! So Omos told MVP that the goal tonight is to literally break Lashley in half! His whole body! Kevin Patrick remembers that from Raw, but Lashley says MVP is selfish, and that this is the biggest mistake of Omos’s career because MVP makes things all about MVP.
MVP asks how he is selfish. Is he the one who went to WrestleMania 38 all alone to hog the spotlight? No. Lashley did. It’s all about Lashley. So how dare someone repeat something so ridiculous! MVP selfish? That’s insane. Do they just give journalism credentials away in Dublin? Kevin says yes, they do. Just six months and you’re in. Before MVP leaves, Kayla wants everyone to predict the match. Booker says Lashley had a great thing going. He had a huge bus. Booker is going with OMOS. Kevin Patrick says we’re forgetting Lashley’s recent achievements. He’s sorry, but he goes with LASHLEY. MVP says yes, Kevin is sorry.
MVP says to remember that Lashley was impressive before MVP helped him. After MVP helped him, Lashley become the single most dominant force in WWE. Omos is the biggest, strongest and most impressive specimen in WWE today, and he came to MVP for tutelage. MVP wants us to know, he is the X factor. JBL says there have been all sorts of X factor managers, and MVP is among them. JBL goes with OMOS. Peter says 7’3″, 400 pounds, that makes him a “big guy.” Peter goes with OMOS, not just cuz MVP is here but because he sees it. Lashley’s had a great year, t twice a day. MVP says even a broken clock is right twice a day. MVP wants us ready for big things.
Mad Cap Moss joins the panel.
Booker’s fired up for this one! Before we get to questions, let’s get a joke. Moss appreciates Booker wants a good joke, but tonight’s not the night for jokes! He just roasted Corbin on SmackDown, the Big Bald Wolf went running with his tails between his legs. Fans chant “Big Bald Wolf!” and Moss says he’ll embarrass Corbin with a checkmark in the L column! Kayla was hoping Moss would get past the dead weight of Corbin, but it still stings that a friendship fell apart. Does any part of Moss feel bad about how this turned out? Moss says they had great times together, cracking up and spending money, but that was when things were good.
As soon as things got bad, Corbin pointed the finger and passed the blame onto Moss. Corbin treated Moss like dirt, and Moss can only be pushed so far before he hits back. Corbin couldn’t take the blame, he though the was better than everyone just because of money, but Moss taught him a lesson. Booker remembers back to when The Miz and Alex Riley had a fallout. Is this Moss breaking out on his own? Well, Moss wasn’t thinking that at the time, he was just standing up for himself, reacting naturally. There was no master plan, but y’know what? Moss sees the fans behind him, he hears them chanting for him, and he gets chills! He wants it all!
JBL asks Booker, which one was he comparing Moss to, Miz or Riley? Booker says Riley stopped sucking up, and that’s what Moss did. Booker has fashion advice, though. Suspenders and a belt? That’s too much, choose one. Moss says he wants as much protection as possible. His pants are NOT falling down tonight! He will be ready to go all match. Kevin says Corbin acts like he’s better, but there is an argument to be said that Corbin is better, given he was former WWE US Champion, a King of the Ring and more experience. What makes Moss think he can win?
Moss admits, Corbin has all that, he even retired Kurt Angle. He is a Golden Gloves winner and the End of Days is powerful. Moss has his work cut out for him, but Corbin is underestimating Moss, thinking he can just walk right past. Moss has speed, athleticism and toughness, and RHODE ISLAND! Fans cheer Moss, and Kayla will be the first to choose sides: she says MOSS! Kevin sides with Kayla, MOSS all the way. Peter likes Moss, he is a great guy, with a bright future. But Corbin has the edge, go bald brothers. Well Peter will look even dumber than he does now but Moss understands.
JBL’s pick says Rhode Island is the smallest state in the union, who cares? Moss might be the one at fault, Corbin annihilates him. JBL sounds like Corbin to Moss. But Booker likes the energy. He likes Moss being serious tonight, this is business! Booker says Moss! Moss has 3-2 from the panel, but will he get the 1-2-3 in the ring?
Backstage interview with The Bloodline.
Or rather, just Paul Heyman and The Usos. Sarah wants to talk the Six Man Tag main event. Heyman can’t believe she didn’t wish a Happy Mother’s Day to Roman Reigns’ mom! What is wrong with her? But Happy Mother’s Day to the Tribal Chief’s mother. She should have statues and monuments in her honor. And the same for the mother of the Usos, she gave birth to the greatest tag team ever, and not even separately. These two being born at the same time, more mothers should aspire to be like Mama Uso. Jimmy & Jey say they love their mama. Well, what does this have to do with the main event?
Everything! Jimmy, Jey & Roman Reigns are going to look across the ring at Orton and Riddle, and the fans will realize their mothers failed them. They failed to raise men who could stand up to the Bloodline! Um, Heyman didn’t mention McIntyre… Well, he named a sword after his mom. That is someone in need of psychotherapy, which he will receive at the hands of Roman… Reigns…! The Usos and Heyman head out, but will them insulting #RKMcBro and their mothers only make things more intense tonight?
The Most Stupendous WrestleMania… Backlash?
“Imagine if there was a place. A new dimension. A dimension of change. A dimension of possibility. Where an anomaly created a reaction of events past, creating the way for an alternate future. Tonight, we cross over. And what happens here will ripple across the universe. There is no going back. There is no undoing. As we cross over into WrestleMania Backlash.”

Winners: The Bloodline, by pinfall
The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion is the one who strikes #outtanowhere to finish this off! Is there any stopping the Tribal Chief and The Usos from reigning over all of the WWE?
My Thoughts:
This was probably one of the better Backlashes in a long time. Granted, only six matches, and not all of them had the best builds. But what a wild three hours, with some great matches. The four WrestleMania rematches from tonight might’ve even outdone the WrestleMania matches, though that would make sense. Good promos in the kickoff show, and I liked the intro video’s very clear shoutout to Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, as well as some Twilight Zone vibes. Cody VS Rollins opening was a bit of a surprise but what an awesome opener. I was surprised Cody won, but he did it with that tight pull to get Rollins with what he would’ve done, doing that same “Heel Not Heel” tease from Cody’s AEW days. Hell in a Cell is up next, I bet that’s another Cody VS Rollins match.
Lashley VS Omos was also great stuff, but naturally MVP had something to do with Omos winning. They’re 1-1, I wonder if they get in on Hell in a Cell as their blow-off if Cody VS Rollins isn’t doing that. That’d be pretty great for Omos win or lose, as he and Lashley can just throw hands and bounce off the steel cage. Styles VS Edge was also a great rematch, and Priest coming very close to breaking the ringside ban was a fairly expected move, as was Finn going after him. But that was quite the twist in giving Judgement Day a third member already, and it being Rhea Ripley. I would’ve thought another male superstar joins here, but maybe Liv Morgan sides with Styles and Finn?
One little flaw was Backlash being clearly cut into a Raw half and a SmackDown half. I feel like they could’ve switched things up since the Raw grudge matches were so great, and then they have the I Quit Match before Moss VS Corbin. It’s great for Moss to win here but it was a sunset flip finish, and it honestly only felt like a strong TV match. I would’ve had that as the halfway point of the show and then finish strong with the I Quit and Six Man matches. The I Quit match was awesome stuff, especially Ronda dual wielding kendo sticks. The chair based armbar was a great finish, and I figured Ronda would win. Charlotte’s injury is definitely kayfabe, and is a clever way to keep Charlotte and Ronda apart to give another Heel a shot.
And speaking of the Six Man Tag, while it sprang from a change to the tag title unification, these six guys are all great and this was one of the best Six Man Tags WWE has put on in a long time. The fans were eating it up, too, and that was quite the finish. I’m not so sold on the Bloodline winning when they need to be setting up Roman’s first Undisputed Champion feud and keep the tag title unification idea on the table. They could’ve turned it around, McIntyre getting the sudden Claymore on an Uso, but I suppose this puts the pressure on the Faces in the chase. Hell in a Cell could give us one or both RKBRO VS Usos and McIntyre VS Roman, but maybe they still want to wait for something more.
My Score: 8.9/10

Winner: Jackson Drake, by pinfall (advances to the WWE Evolve Championship Fatal 4 Way)
Vanity Project celebrates with #HeartbreakDrake, though they did have a hand in the victory. Will Drake be the true Wild Card of that Fatal 4 Way Elimination match? Or will not even his friends help him survive Edris Enofe, Keanu Carver and “Super” Sean Legacy?
Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont talk backstage.
Ty & Ty are ready for their match tonight against Cappuccino Jones & Jack Cartwheel, but Tyson knows those two are the quickest and most exciting team on Evolve. Tyriek says sure, but they’re not the most explosive, that’s them! It’ll be speed VS power, and they’ll find out that it doesn’t matter how fast you’re going when you run into a brick wall. Cartwheel, Cappuccino, speed only beats power when you apply that pressure, and their pressure will knock you out! Ty & Ty are fired up now, will they bring down the house on Cappuccino & Cartwheel? Or will C & C be able to leap over that High Ryze?
It’s Gal speaks.
The Real-Life Action Figure is poolside as he says, “This is the life of It’s Gal! After my pool and gym routine, the abs are flexing, the quads are quading, the pecs, oh, they’re popping. And now, it’s time to catch some rays. But I can’t fully enjoy my fun in the sun because of this Gal wannabe, Troy Yearwood. Everyone in WWE Evolve says you have the body of an Adonis, the best physique in Evolve. Are they blind? Lemme tell you who has the best physique in Evolve. It’s Gal, it’s Gal, it’s Gal! Standing here at 5% body fat, looking like a million bucks right now.
“So Mr. All ACC hammer throw star, this is your first and final warning. You better stay outta my way, because when you’re in Mint Condition, there is no competition, dummy!” Gal may be 5% body fat but he’s 110% ego. Will he be humbled should he have a run-in with the LFG star?
Jackson Drake speaks.
Apparently the Carolina Reaper has still been in the ring this whole time…? He interrupts Robert Stone & Pete Rosenberg, and says the fans would rather here “Daddy” speak. “Week after week after week, myself, Zayda Steel, Bryce Donovan, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes prove that the Vanity Project is the hottest thing going on WWE Evolve, in more ways than one!” Fans boo, but Drake says guess what? They’re just getting started! Because Drake will bring that drip to Vanity Project when he wins the WWE Evolve Championship! But wait, here comes Edris Enofe! The fans cheer as the Epitome of Excellence speaks now.
“Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake. Hey, Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake. I just find it funny… Actually, I find it hilarious that you can stand there and call yourself the hottest thing going on Evolve, especially when you got a guy like me, the EOE, the Epitome of Excellence, standing here right now!” The fans cheer on “E O E! E O E!” and Drake mockingly applauds. Edris says next week, that is a moment he has been waiting for, for a very, very long time. The fans know that he has worked his ass off, grinding for four years, to let this slip through his fingers! So if Drake wants that title, well bad news. Drake goes home empty handed, as that title goes around the waist of Edris Enofe!
Wait, here comes “Super Sean!” Sean Legacy has his own mic to say okay, okay. A couple weeks ago, Vanity Project wanted Lexis King to make sure Legacy didn’t compete in the Fatal 4 Way. And Legacy will make no excuses, Lexis King was the better man that night. But as you can see, Legacy is still standing! The fans cheer that, and Legacy joins the others in the ring. Legacy tells Edris that he respects the journey, and Edris coming back from injury. Four YEARS of grind, but Legacy has been at it for EIGHT! Legacy has been working his way up the food chain to create his legacy. And that starts now!
Because next week, the person standing with THE WWE Evolve Championship above his head will be Legacy. Because he will show the WWE Universe why Sean Legacy will always be SUPER! Drake says yeah, yeah, well, he’s super tired of listening to them. Drake says neither of them are qualified, there is nobody in this match qualified like Drake. Drake drops the mic, exits the ring, but bumps into Keanu Carver! Drake forgot about the big man, and then he finds himself surrounded! Edris ROCKS Drake, Legacy ROCKS Drake, and Keanu DECKS Drake! Refs rush out to stop it here, but all four men will be let loose next week! Who will be the last one standing with the title?
Backstage interview with Cappuccino Jones & Jack Cartwheel.
Chuey Martinez is with the most energetic team in Evolve, and says tonight, they go up against a pair of powerhouses. How will they handle that beef? Jones says the pot is hot and extra large. But you can’t hit what you can’t catch. Jack says it is their speed against Ty & Ty’s power. But it is simple physics of momentum and leverage. They can stick ‘n’ move! They’ve got a triple shot of energy ready to hit Tyriek & Tyson in the mouth. Cappuccino & Cartwheel are gonna turn Evolve on its head! They are fired up now and head out, will they be able to blow right past the High Ryze? Or will they get blown up by that TNT?
Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont VS Cappuccino Jones & Jack Cartwheel!

Tyriek talks smack on Jack, stomps Jones down, then stands on him! Tyrike pulls Jones’ hair, Wes likes what he sees, but the ref reprimands. The fans rally for Jones as Tyriek lets off. Jones rises to fire hands! Tyriek KNEES low, whips him to the corner, and he RAMS Jones!

Tyriek POSTS himself and knocks Tyson down at the same time! Jones rolls Tyriek up, TWO!! ENZIGIRI! Tyriek sputters, Jones crawls, and the fans rally up! Tyriek swings, misses, hot tag to Jack! Jack dodges Tyriek, BLASTS Tyson, then cartwheels to LARIAT! And tilt-o-whirl RANA! Handspring and BACK ELBOW! Jack reels Tyriek in, KICKS Tyson and TORNADO DDTS in one go! Jack then handsprings to FOSBURY FLOP! Down goes Tyson, and Jack hurries up top!
Wes is annoyed as Jack FLYING CARTWHEELS! Cover, Tyson breaks it! Jones is up and he ROCKS Tyson! Jack SUPERKICKS Tyson, then he and Jones DOUBLE DROPKICK! Tyson flops out, Tyriek runs up, and Jack rolls Jones out of the way! The BOOT hits Jack! Tyson drags Jones out of the ring to UPPERCUT! Tyriek facelocks Jack, tags Tyson, and then the SLAM DUNK SAIDO!! Cover, Ty & Ty win!
Winners: Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont, by pinfall
It went down just as they said, T&T blows up C&C! Will NXT and Evolve soon belong to the High Ryze?
Stevie Turner signs a new star to the roster!
The Prime Minister assures the new recruit that Evolve is the most exciting, fastest growing brand. She welcomes Jin Tala to the already deep women’s roster. Jin thanks Stevie for this opportunity, and is ready to shake up the women’s division. Stevie says she looks forward to it. Jin signs on the dotted line, but now Carlee Bright walks in. Carlee heard Stevie wanted to meet with her, and Stevie says yes. We all know Carlee is Kendal’s best friend, but tonight, there needs to be on one else ringside. This Fatal 4 Way has to be just about the four in the match.
Carlee says she gets it, that is absolutely fair. Stevie also helps make introductions between Carlee and Jin, and says they will be opponents on next week’s episode. Carlee and Jin shake hands, and Carlee says, “May the best woman win.” Will Jin prove she’s ready to Evolve?
Natalya is backstage!
Evolve Media catches up with the Queen of Harts, and asks what The BOAT is doing here. Natty says she’s going to be not only watching tonight’s main event title match, but she will have the honor of presenting the WWE Women’s Evolve Championship to the winner. It is a very cool moment, she is excited to be here, this is going to be a wonderful night. Natty heads out, who will she have the honor of handing the title to?
High Ryze regroups backstage.
Wes says that is what he is talking about! Tyriek says that’s what they told everyone earlier! Power beats speed, every time! Tyson says you gotta admit, though. Jones & Jack are fast. But when you train with the fastest, those boys don’t stand a chance. Wes says they’re making him blush. But his boys have been making a ruckus here on Evolve, so he had to turn up and see what all the noise was about. Jones & Cartwheel have potential. But potential doesn’t measure up here. Tyson says they haven’t heard the last of Jones & Cartwheel, but Wes says that’s fine, they can come see him about it. The High Ryze is feeling good, but will Wes put a punctuation on what we saw tonight?
WWE Women’s Evolve Championship Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match: Kali Armstrong VS Kendal Grey VS Wendy Choo VS Kylie Rae!
This is the moment of truth! Three months ago, WWE brought Evolve into the fold, and this new generation of superstars began their journey.

Winner: Kali Armstrong, by pinfall (INAUGURAL WWE Evolve Women’s Champion)
The Difference Maker promised everyone that her name would go down in the history books, and that promise has been fulfilled! Natalya brings the belt to Kali, but Kali kinda snatches it away with some attitude. Kali wants to be an inspiration but she’s got a bit of an ego, will she simply just get hers #StraightLikeThat and leave everyone else in the dust?
My Thoughts:
A great Evolve here, even with expected outcomes. I will say they surprised me by making the final two Kali and Kylie, not Kali and Kendal, who have had their rivalry going since episode one. But perhaps Kendal will be Kali’s first challenger to really add to the feud. Kylie and Wendy also aren’t done, even with Kylie pinning Wendy to eliminate her. In fact, that’s wild that Kylie did the work of eliminating the others for Kali to win out… But at the same time, Kylie and Wendy can feud, maybe name the winner of the blowoff a contender, as well.
Very good tag match stuff with The High Ryze VS Cappuccino & Cartwheel, and I like Wes showing up to support his guys. Wes VS Cartwheel will be awesome stuff, as well as Wes VS Cappuccino, and I suppose a third man might present himself so that we get a Six Man Tag for the full High Ryze faction to be in action together. Good promo from It’s Gal, and obviously a match of Gal VS Yearwood is coming. Gal is definitely the Heel who gets humbled, so Yearwood will get a great win. And good seeing more LFG stars signing up with Evolve, Jin Tala (Leigh Laurel from LFG) will have a good match with Carlee and certainly a good win.
Very good Triple Threat from Drake, Dorado and Oasis, and I figured Drake would win to join the Fatal 4 Way. Vanity Project needs somebody in that match if they’re to start dominating Evolve like they claim. But at the same time, very fitting that Drake gets humbled a bit by the other three contenders. That Fatal 4 is a bit harder to read, but Edris sadly feels like the fourth likely. His recovery and return makes a great story, but it just seems too soon for him to grab that title. Meanwhile, Keanu is just a beast, he’d be a fitting parallel to Kali as she’s a powerhouse of a first champion. And Super Sean has a North American Championship match, it’d be fitting to make it Champion VS Champion.
My Score: 8.8/10

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

PROGRAMMING NOTE for Collision!
This Saturday, May 31st, Collision will air coast to coast on TNT at 8 PM Eastern, OR immediately following NBA Playoffs Game 6, but you can always stream on HBO Max!
The Hurt Syndicate speaks.
MVP says, “Tonight was not just a momentous occasion, it was a historical occasion, because two things happened tonight. This was the fifth consecutive, successful title defense of the AEW Tag Team Championships, and the debut of the young genius, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, as a full-fledged member of the Hurt Syndicate.” MJF says, “Bobby & Shelton are the most dominate tag team in the world today. Think of any top tag team in this sport, anyone, they’d beat ’em clean, easy. These belts ain’t going nowhere. Now that I am in the Hurt Syndicate, I am gonna make sure of that. And the Syndicate, we roll together, so we’re all collectively going to make sure we’re all strapped in gold.
“As far as my Triple B goes, my Big Beautiful Belt, my AEW World title is concerned, it will soon be around my waist. And if you find yourself in between the Hurt Syndicate and our goals, don’t be surprised if you wake up face down in a pool of your own piss and blood. But hey, man, when it comes to the Syndicate, it ain’t personal. It’s just business.” They all fist bump, but who will be next to step up and get stepped on?
Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.
The Superbad Girl says Anna Jay & Harley Cameron had to cheat to beat them on Sunday. Tonight, it is NO DISQUALIFICATIONS, just like Anna & Harley have always wanted. The Megasus says that means they are her next sacrifice. Will the path of destruction only be more destructive now that Megan doesn’t have to hold back?
Ricochet speaks.
The One & Only says, “I had told that everybody after Double or Nothing, after I had laid wasted to Mark Briscoe, I would continue my quest for gold. A quest that I have been on since day one here in AEW. But I stopped, and I take a second, and I look around AEW, and I get the lay of the land, and I start to see the landscape for what it actually is. I see the Death Riders, I see The Opps, I see the Don Callis Family, I see the Hurt Syndicate, and I think to myself… Ricochet needs a group. Ricochet needs a crew. Ricochet needs some loyal subjects that will follow and help him on his quest for gold.
“And once I do, once I find the perfect crew, then I will continue to show everybody why Ricochet is simply Outta This World. AHA~!”
No Disqualification Tag: Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!
For those who watched the Double or Nothing Buy-In, what part of that tag match did Harley & Anna “cheat” to win? Perhaps the Megasus & Superbad Girl don’t want to admit they got outsmarted by the Queenslayer & Wild Aussie. But now there will be no excuses because there is no such thing as cheating in a No Disqualifications match! Will Anna & Harley be the stars of the show after going all out? Or will they be made to #BowDown?
Megan & Ford come prepared with a trash can, its lid, and a golden steel chair! But Anna & Harley are ready to ride as a couple cowgirls armed with two-by-four and steel pipe! The fans fire up as they rush the ring, and while Ford grabs at the wood, Anna trips her up! Harley slides in but Megan BOOTS her down! The bell rings and this essentially Texas Tornado gets spinning! Megan SLAMS Harley down, Anna sends Ford into railing, and Anna brings out chairs! Megan CHOPS Harley, RAMS her in the corner again and again, and grabs one of those chairs. Ford ROCKS Anna, Megan wedges a chair into the corner, and Ford CHOPS Anna.
El Paso wants tables but Ford whips Anna into railing! Anna falls, Megan sits Harley up in the corner, and Megan runs up, only for Harley to move! Megan’s CANNONBALL hits the chair! Harley & Anna mug Ford, then DDT her on the trash can lid! The fans fire up, Harley covers, but Megan breaks it! Megan stalks Harley, but Anna has her wood! Anna SMACKS Megan, but Megan doesn’t even flinch. Megan stares Anna down, the fans tell Anna she messed up, but Harley has her pipe! Harley CLUBS Megan and that was certainly felt! Anna grabs a chair and she SMACKS Megan! Harley PIPES Megan, Anna SMACKS Megan, repeat!
The fans fire up as Megan is just a giant pinball between those brutal flippers, but she gets pissed! Megan dodges H&A to DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up as Megan then goes for her golden chair! Megan sits it up at center, drags Harley up, and she reels her in! But Harley slips out of the suplex! Harley drop toeholds Megan on the chair, Anna SHOTGUNS Megan down! The fans fire up, Anna covers, but Ford breaks it! Harley has Ford for a KNEE down low! Anna has a chair of her own, sets that down, and Harley lines up the shot. Anna runs, they give Ford a form of BOOT CAMP! Cover, TWO!! Ford survives but Anna & Harley go outside.
The fans rally as they go looking, and yes, they bring out a TABLE! The fans fire up as Anna & Harley stand the table up nearby, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Anna & Harley go back into the ring, but Megan is there to clinch Anna! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Ford goes Matrix to dodge Harley, and hits the CUTTER! Ford puts Harley in a corner for the HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW! Megan runs up to add a STINGER SPLASH! Ford picks up the trash can, puts it around Harley, and Megan sends her back in. SHOTGUN to the trash can! Ford drags Harley to a cover, TWO! Harley survives and Ford is frustrated. Ford dribbles Harley, Megan goes looking for things, and she brings out another table! Ford helps Megan set that up in the ring, propping it up in the corner.
Megan storms up on Anna, CLUBS her, then fireman’s carries. Megan runs at the table, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER through the table!! Megan drags Anna to a cover, HARLEY BREAKS IT! Ford is furious and she goes after Harley! Ford fireman’s carries, but Harley slips free to wrench and NECKBREAKER! Cover, Megan deadlifts Harley for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Megan huffs ‘n’ puffs and drags Harley over to the ropes. Megan scrubs Harley’s face with her boot, then soaks up heat. Megan brings Harley over, puts her on the apron, then goes out as Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans fire up already as Megan aims for the table!
Harley fights the urenage and throws elbows! Harley kicks low, SUNSET FLIP, but Megan holds on! Anna ROCKS Megan! Megan shakes her head as she holds on, but Anna ROCKS her again! Ford is up, armed with golden chair, but Anna BOOTS her first! Anna has the chair to SMACK Ford down! Then she SMACKS Megan in the face! Harley POWERBOMBS Megan down through the table!! The fans are thunderous and Anna is all fired up! But Ford runs up to BOOT Anna! Ford fireman’s carries, and GUT BUSTER DROPS Anna! Ford takes a chair, puts it under Anna, then STANDING MOONSAULTS, but Anna moves! Ford hits only chair!
The fans rally up while all four women are down! Harley rises up, looks to Anna and they coordinate. Harley fires up, she runs at Megan, but Megan blocks the wheelbarrow to SMACK Harley off the steel steps! Megan falls back, still hurting from the table, but now the ref has medics check Harley. El Paso declares, “This is Awesome!” while Harley stands up. She’s got a bloody nose, maybe a busted lip, but Harley won’t let that stop her!

Mercedes Mone arrives in a low rider.
The CEO is once again #FourBeltsMone as she holds up her Queen of Harts title, even as her driver parks the convertible. The AEW TBS Champion struts in as a rhinestone cowgirl, ready to meet the AEW Women’s World Champion face to face, but will they keep it civil? Or will there be a shootout in El Paso?
Six Man Tag: The Opps VS The Frat House!
Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs were part of the winning Team AEW at Anarchy in the Arena. But now, they focus on being AEW World Trios Champions. Will they be ready to go all in this summer? OR will Preston Vance, Griff Garrison, Cole Karter, Jacked Jameson, and even their El Paso “Pledges” be toasting a huge victory?
Jameson has a mic, and he tries to get the fans to join in on “FRAT~ HOUSE~!” They boo instead. Jameson says okay, last night, here in El Paso, him and the boys at Shifty’s Dive, throwing one of their world famous pledge parties. They are traveling the country, throwing these parties, looking for their next members. They were out on the town, and there was a sign with a saying that Jameson really likes: El Paso Strong! The fans cheer that! Jameson says that doesn’t make sense, all the guys are weak and skinny and all the girls are fat and ugly. The fans boo again. Jameson says needless to say, they didn’t find a new member.
But hey, that’s okay, they are not leaving emptyhanded. They’re walking out tonight the NEW Trios Champions! Uh, the belts aren’t on the line…? But Preston Vance says, “Win or lose, we BOOOOOOOOOZE~!” Vance gets in Joe’s face with that, and Joe HEADBUTTS him down! Shibata and Hobbs go after Karter & Garrison on the outside while Jameson and the Pledges scramble. The bell rings, Joe JABS away on Vance in the corner! The fans fire up as Joe just fires off! Joe CHOPS Vance down, and Shibata runs Karter right into railing! Joe CHOPS Vance again, whips him corner to corner, then runs in.
Vance BOOTS Joe, runs, but Joe SWEEPS the legs! And SENTONS on top! Vance scrambles, tag to Griff, and Joe chuckles at the Ivy League MVP getting fired up. The fans rally for Joe, but Joe says uno momento. Tag to Shibata! The fans cheer as The Wrestler steps up. Shibata and Griff feel things out, then Griff CHOPS! Shibata CHOPS in return! Griff CHOPS again, Shibata CHOPS again, and repeat! The fans fire up as Griff fires a forearm but Shibata fires back! Shibata eggs Griff on as Griff fires more shots, only for Shibata to DECK him! Shibata runs corner to corner and HYDRAULIC DROPKICKS!
Shibata drags Griff up, HALF HATCH, then cover, TWO! Griff stays in this but now Shibata tags Hobbs. Griff scrambles away to tag in Karter, but the Diamond in the Rough doesn’t know what he got into. Karter fires hands but Hobbs just takes them! Hobbs TOSSES Karter to the corner, fires hands, then whips corner to corner. LARIAT in the corner! The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Hobbs fires more LARIATS into Karter! Hobbs reels Karter in for the short arm LARIAT! The straps come down and the fans fire up. Hobbs DECKS Griff off the apron, but Vance BLATSS Shibata and Joe!
Joe runs in, Vance runs away, and the ref is distracted, so Jameson slips in with that frat paddle! Jameson SMACKS Hobbs! Hobbs just gets mad! Hobbs LARIATS Jameson up and out! A Pledge is sent in!? Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Another Pledge tries, but he gets a SPIENBUSTER! The third Pledge tries, he gets a SPINEBUSTER! Vance has the paddle! The ref stops Vance, and Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Karter climbs up the corner, almost slips, but he still leaps, into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Opps win!
Winners: The Opps, by pinfall
That was town bidness times ten! Will the Frat House study up next time? Will The Opps continue to prove they are #NeverLacking?
Renee Paquette is in the ring.
Renee welcomes out the woman who fought her heart out at Double or Nothing, Jamie Hayter! The fans cheer as Hayter heads to the ring, clearly bummed she is NOT the 2025 Queen of Harts. Renee brings up that unfortunately, Hayter could not overcome Mone in the finals. And she knows Hayter was worried about what her future in AEW would look like without that win. Has Hayter had time to think about what’s next? Hayter tells Renee, that is the question. But then the lights go out!? Oh no, could it be…? The lights come back up and it is THEKLA! The Toxic Spider is in AEW, and she’s right on Hayter!
Thekla DECKS Hayter, then stands over her! Thekla stares into the camera, then spider-walks over! Will the “Idol Killer” tear down all those that came before her in order to be THE woman in AEW?
AEW TNT Championship: Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!
The Paragon could not stop the Don Callis Family on Sunday, and now the Panama City Playboy is the Protostar’s next target! Will the Aussie Arrow hit the mar and take this title home for the family? Or will it still be all about the BOOM?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the true Face of TNT!
Callis is on commentary to say the fans love Cole because he’s just like the fans: he lives on hopes and dreams. Callis says you can’t take hopes to the bank, but you can bank on Fletcher! The bell rings and the fans rally up as Cole and Fletcher stare down. Cole and Fletcher circle, feel things out, and tie up. Fletcher puts Cole in a corner, lets off slowly, then rolls back to mock the “Adam Cole Baybay!” Cole and Kyle circle, tie up, and Cole waistlocks. Fletcher pries free, switches, then he SLAMS Cole down! The fans are torn but Fletcher flexes on Cole. Cole and Fletcher reset, circle, and tie up. Cole headlocks, Kyle fights the takeover, and Kyle powers out.
Kyle RUNS Cole over, smirks, and then goes back for Cole. Kyle slips, Cole slips free, and Cole fires forearms! Kyle scoops but Cole fights free again! Kyle kicks low, CLUBS Cole on the back, but Cole PELES! The fans fire up and Kyle staggers around! Cole storms up to fire hands and he puts Kyle in a corner. Cole stomps a mudhole into Kyle, steps off as the ref counts, and he gives a proper “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” The fans cheer, Cole whips corner to corner, but Kyle reverses. Kyle runs up but Cole puts him on the apron, and SUPERKICKS him down! The fans fire up and Cole waits on Kyle. Cole goes to the apron and takes aim, only for PRG Vice to step up!
The fans boo as Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta stand in Cole’s way, but Callis says this is strength in numbers. Well speaking of, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly rush out here! Paragon brawls with RPG Vice and head to the back! The fans fire up, Cole goes to fetch Fletcher, but Fletcher SUPERKICKS Cole down! Kyle drags Cole up, reels him in, and APRON POWERBOMBS!! That was a lot more Cole’s head and neck then his back, and while the ref checks Cole, Callis mockingly says he’s gonna check on Kyle while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Fletcher flexes more while he soaks up heat, and Callis really does walk over to talk with him. Kyle steps into the ring and somehow Cole is okay to continue, so a ring count starts. Cole stirs at about 3 of 10, Callis & Kyle soak up more heat, but then Kyle goes out to fetch Cole at about 7. Kyle drags Cole into the ring, then stomps him down! Kyle stomps Cole more, then stalks him to ropes. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Cole down! And JUMP STOMPS again! Then he CHOKES Cole on the ropes! The ref counts, Kyle steps off, and Cole goes to a corner. Kyle soaks up heat, distracts the ref, and that lets Callis CHOKE Cole!
Callis scurries back to commentary before he’s caught, and Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires body shots but Kyle eggs him on. Cole fires more shots, but Kyle BOOTS him down! Kyle paces while he soaks up more heat, and he checks if that’s for him or for Cole. It is for Kyle, so Kyle scoops Cole and SLAMS him! Kyle paces more while Cole writhes. Cole sits up but Kyle is on him with another scoop and SLAM! Kyle leans on the ropes while he soaks up more heat, then he goes back to Cole. Kyle rains down fists, clamps on a chinlock, and he grinds Cole down. Cole endures and fights up while Dynamite returns to single picture.
The fans rally as Cole fires body shots, only for Kyle to scoop and SLAM again! Kyle twists Cole’s wrist, scoops and SLAMS again, then eggs everyone on. The fans boo but Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires forearms! The fans rally, but Kyle scoops and spins to SLAM! Callis says the reason Cole was outside to be hit with that apron powerbomb is because he went after Kyle outside the ring. Callis says Cole only has himself to blame. Kyle runs corner to corner, but Cole SUPERKICKS! Callis is eating his words the way Kyle ate that foot! The fans are thunderous as Cole rises up! Cole storms up to fire forearm after forearm!
Kyle shoves Cole but Cole LARIATS! And ELBOWS! And BOOTS! Kyle staggers around, Cole brings him over, but Kyle fights the fireman’s carry! Kyle runs, but Cole BOOTS him! Kyle rebounds into the fireman’s carry! USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives but the fans rally behind Cole. Cole rises up, goes to the corner, and he climbs up to aim again. Kyle stands into the PANAMA- NO, Kyle BACKDROPS then sits down on a cover, TWO!! Cole escapes, Kyle blocks his kick, and Kyle spins Cole for a SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Cole flounders, Kyle runs corner to corner, GAMANGIRI! And then Kyle reels Cole in, but Cole suplexes, GHOST BUSTER!!
Cole fires up, rises up, and the fans are with him! PANAMA SUNRISE!!! Kyle sputters, Cole brings down the kneepad, and Callis freaks out! But JOSH ALEXANDER is here, and he just CLOBBERS Cole!!
Winner: Adam Cole, by disqualification (still AEW TNT Champion)
Callis laughs as the Don Callis Family’s Walking Weapon beats Cole down! But Kyle doesn’t get to be TNT Champion, what good was this? Alexander BITES Cole, Callis says break Cole! Kyle & Alexander mug Cole while the fans boo and cuss Callis out! But wait! Here comes Brody King! The King of Death ahs a chair, and he runs Alexander & Kyle off! This match was to be the main event, but it might as well happen now! Will Brody bulldoze through Alexander to head for Fyter Fest? Or will the Don Callis Family still secure something good for the Summer?
AEW International Championship Qualifier: Josh Alexander w/ The Don Callis Family VS Brody King!
Dynamite returns, security standing between the Walking Weapon and King of Death, but they won’t wait any longer! Security is literally thrown aside and the bell rings! The brawl is on and the fans love it! Brody KNEES Alexander, ROCKS him, puts him in a corner, and CHOPS him! And ROCKS him! And repeat! Brody ROCKS and CHOPS, stands Alexander up and whips corner to corner. Brody runs up, Alexander BOOTS him then goes up, to MISSILE DROPKICK! Alexander dusts himself off, stomps Brody around, then rips the shirt away to CHOKE Brody with it! The ref counts, Alexander stops at 4 and taunts Brody by flossing with the shirt, and we don’t mean teeth.
Alexander offers the shirt to fans, but then drops it on the floor. Alexander whips, Brody reverses and BACKDROPS! The fans fire up as Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler ever. Brody gets his shirt back, and he stuffs it in Alexander’s mouth! The fans cheer but Callis says there is no place for that here! Brody has Alexander against the ropes and CLUBS him! Alexander suffers Beats of the War Drum, and fans count to seven before Brody shoves him down! Brody tosses his shirt away, then brings Alexander up. Alexander fires body shots but Brody ROCKS him back. Brody puts Alexander against the post, hushes the fans, and winds up.
But Alexander ducks, Brody’s CHOP hits POST! The fans all wince as Brody clutches his hand! Alexander then RAMS Brody into the post to go after the shoulder! Alexander wrenches the arm, and he SLAMS it off railing! The fans boo but Alexander keeps after Brody. Alexander CHOPS Brody, refreshes the count, then brings Brody around to whip. But Brody reverses to send Alexander into barriers! Brody choke grips with his off hand, and he BARRIER CHOKE SLAMS Alexander! The fans fire up and Brody CHOPS Alexander against the barrier! Alexander falls, the fans fire up, and Brody stalks Alexander around the way.
Brody brings Alexander up, ROCKS him, but that was the bad hand. The fans rally and Brody puts Alexander in the ring. Alexander BOOTS Brody, then BOOTS the arm! Alexander runs, but Brody breaks through the lariat and CLOBBERS Alexander! Alexander tumbles out of the ring, and Brody builds speed! Brody DIVES into a FOREARM! Alexander has Brody in the ropes, APRON DDT! Brody slumps down and sputters, and then Alexander CHOPS him! The fans rally, Alexander runs, and he BODY CHECKS Brody off the apron! Alexander soaks up the heat while Lance Archer applauds. Callis says Alexander is not intimidated by size because he has the technique!
Fans chant “You Suck!” but Alexander SLAMS the bad arm into the post! Brody clutches his hand, but he CHOPS with the left! And CHOPS again! Alexander kicks and CHOPS in return! Alexander brings Brody around the way, and whips him hard into steel steps! Brody writhes, Alexander grins as he refreshes the count, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks on Brody, but Brody refuses to let the bad arm stop him. Alexander goes out and walks up the steps so he can stomp Brody’s hand! The ref reprimands but Alexander kicks Brody around. Alexander puts Brody in the ring, but Brody ROCKS him with an elbow! Brody CHOPS, but Alexander CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Alexander adjusts his wrestling headgear before bringing Brody around. Alexander HIP DROPS the good arm, looking to leave Brody with no arms! Alexander traps the bad arm and SNAP LOCKS it! Brody writhes and Alexander takes a moment to soak up heat. Brody drags himself up with the ropes, but Alexander pulls on the arms!
The ref reprimands, Brody ROCKS Alexander, but Alexander kicks low! Alexander climbs up in the corner to rain down fists! Brody stops Alexander at five, but Alexander CHOPS! Brody CHOPS, Alexander CHOPS repeat! Alexander CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS, then brings Brody in for a BIG suplex! That alone was impressive, and Alexander covers, TWO! Brody toughs it out and Alexander grows frustrated. Alexander looms over Brody, throws down elbows, then he drags Brody by the bad arm. SNAP LOCK! Brody writhes again but Alexander paces. Alexander drags Brody back up, and he clamps on with a keylock!
Dynamite returns to single picture as Brody endures. The fans rally, Brody fights up, and Brody fires body shots. The fans fire upas Brody CHOPS! But that was the bad hand again! Alexander waistlocks, but Brody switches, and he GERMAN SUPLEXES! The fans fire up and Brody LARIATS! But again, the bad arm! Alexander BOOTS Brody, BOOTS him again, but Brody SOUTHPAW LARIATS! Both men are down and the fans fire up. A standing count starts and the fans rally. Callis claims Alexander is ahead on points, not that that matters right now. Brody and Alexander are on opposite ends of a corner as they rise up.
Brody grabs Alexander, goes to the top rope with him, but Alexander pulls the crossbar’s pad away! Alexander fights the suplex, throws body shots, and then he HOTSHOTS the arm on the bare bar! Brody staggers away, Alexander pursues, and Alexander waistlocks. Brody fights with elbows, then fireman’s carries! Alexander fights back, but Brody BOOTS him! And has the SLEEPER!! Alexander endures, and he pries the grip open! ELBOW BREAKER! APRON GERMAN SUPLEX!! Both men fall to the floor and Callis says they might need to stop this.

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