The Best in the World and the NEW AEW World Champion joins forces with the #TopGuys, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood as a gold-studded team! Punk even dives into the crowd to celebrate with Los Angeles over his Las Vegas victory! But will Punk and the dual AAA & ROH World Tag Team Champions keep the celebration rolling? Or will Platinum Max & the Ass Boys rain on the parade?
But of course, Caster has a rap! “Acclaimed and the Gunns, what the fans prefer. We’re about to make y’all pay like Amber Heard! Look at Punk, y’all’re mortified! You lookin’ like you live underneath the 405! FTR’s better than most, but they gotta ride Punk’s coattails to get on the show. And by the way, Bret Hart’s trash, boys. You’re gettin’ served by Acclaimed ‘n’ the Ass Boys!” Austin & Colten still don’t approve of that nickname but the fans chant. Austin says, “SACRAMENTOOO~!” No, that’s not where we are! Colten gets the mic to say, “SAN DIEGOOO~!” Ugh… Bowens tells the idiots it’s like this. “LOS ANGELEEEEES! The Acclaimed have arrived~!”
Bowens and Billy scissor finger, Bowens gets the fans chanting “ASS~ BOYS~!” and the trios sort out. Fans are thunderous for CM Punk but we start with Dax and Austin.

Winners: CM Punk & FTR, by pinfall
The Best in the World and the Top Guys stand tall, champions all! But with these golden targets on their backs, who will be next to step up to them for those titles?
Punk gets a mic and he says, “I’ve never done drugs in my life, but I’d imagine this is what it feels like. And the magical thing about me being me is, boy, I still gotta lot of work to do. There’s still miles to travel, there’re still roads to travel, and hell, I know I gotta get better. That’s what this championship’s about. I wouldn’t be here if my road to success wasn’t littered with mistakes, and those mistakes are just learning moments, and gaddamit, I’m gonna learn. And I’m gonna get better. And you can call me what you want: positive, negative, but you gotta call me ‘the champ!'” Fans like the sound of that!
Dax says those things Punk hasn’t done, Dax’s done. And he’ll tell ya, yeah it feels that good. But uh, in seriousness, pro-wrestling means the world to him. His beautiful wife and baby girl are in the crowd, and they’re the only two things in this damn world that mean more to him than pro-wrestling. Being ROH Tag Team Champion means to world to FTR. So when you come on their stage, in their ring, and attack them, that don’t sit well. So what he’s getting at is, if you’re from another company, if you’re from the same company, sorry but bring your asses out here so they can kick your ass!
Punk says that brings us to NJPW. “Some of the best professional wrestlers in the world, but I happen to be standing in the world with two of the best! No jumping from behind, no back fighting. We’ve got a Pay-Per-View to sell. Forbidden Door, I know you’re back door, show me who I got!” And with that, it’s HIROSHI TANAHASHI! The Ace of NJPW is here in LA and fans are fired up to see him! The Once in a Century Talent is going to take on The Best in the World, who walks out the Forbidden Door the greatest of all time?
MJF is here!
Somehow, Maxwell Jacob Friedman is up and moving after the Powerbomb Symphony Wardlow played using his body this past Sunday. MJF has his music cut and he goes to the ring. Fans mostly boo as MJF has the mic. “I am in a lot of pain right now after what happened on Sunday. But all you people want is to hear me talk, right?” NO! Well MJF will talk, but as Max Friedman! “Big merger, boss. Lot of important executives here tonight to watch your product. It’d be a real shame if something bad happened. I wouldn’t want to embarrass you, man. Speaking of embarrassing, you’ve been trying to sit down with me to hash things out for quite some time now, haven’t ya?”
Fans tell MJF to STFU but MJF says, “Guess what? Too little too late! Here’s why! When this company first started, it was all friends wrestling. Everybody was handed a ticket, except for me! See, I had to write my own. And boy do I have good penmanship, because I created moment after moment after moment for this company, and I still get no respect!” Fans applaud because they’re starting to agree. MJF says NO ONE is on his level! Everything he touches turns to gold! There is nothing he can’t do! “Every time I come out here, I am not expected to hit home runs, I expected to hit grand slams, and I do that s*it on a weekly basis!”
MJF says that while everyone else settle for being great, he has to be perfect! Because he is the 26 year old constantly under a microscope because he is the only one who can carry this company on his back, as he has for MONTHS! “It’s funny I hear boos but I also hear clapping. That’s interesting. Where were you guys this whole weekend when you were calling me an unprofessional piece of s*it? I’m just curious.” They’re not the only problem, it’s the “boys in the back,” too. They all want MJF’s spot, but guess what? You can have it! MJF doesn’t wanna be here anymore.
Now to the “fans.” You all act like fans but you’re uneducated MARKS! You sit there on your phones, tweeting out opinions like they’re worth a damn. MJF will explain something to you: “YOU DON’T KNOW S*IT!! Your opinions suck, your opinions change at the drop of a dime, but then you pretend that your new opinions are the same as your old ones.” For example, people say they always knew MJF was a good wrestler. Except those same people pretended he sucked for a long time. And why is that? Because MJF isn’t like all the faves? Like he doesn’t pretend to watch NJPW? Because he doesn’t dump his opponents on his head and is reckless?
Is it because MJF doesn’t chase the star ratings? What is it? How could MJF possibly be the best? News flash: HE IS THE BEST! He is the only guy who makes you feel! And unlike all those boys, he doesn’t have to do a bunch of BS to get you there! MJF is a generational talent and yet everyone takes him for granted! But it’s not just the fans, it’s the big man in the back, too! Here’s something they can’t take for granted, and something Tony Khan doesn’t want you to know: Do you know who is the second best minute-to-minute draw for AEW? You wish! It’s MJF! If you don’t believe him, go ask “Stat Boy” what he has to say. But don’t ask him to pay the man who’s been busting his ass for him since day one!
No, no, no! Tony has to horde all that money to give to the newest ex-WWE guys he’s hiring! Who can’t even lace MJF’s GADDAMN BOOTS! Fans are giving MJF a standing ovation for this amazing venting! MJF asks Tony if he’d be treated better if he was an ex-WWE guy. Here’s the problem, boss. You have a position of power in a wrestling company, when the only position you should be assuming is behind the guard rails with all the fans! MJF doesn’t wanna wait until 2024 but Tony doesn’t listen, so MJF will make it easier: FIRE MJF!
And don’t try and play him off, he’s not done! MJF wants Tony to FIRE him, and then he curses so hard they have to bleep it all! MJF is incensed, Dynamite goes to break, how will “boss man” respond to this?
Johnny Elite’s Open Challenge: John Morrison VS ???
Speaking of one of those ex-WWE guys… Johnny Elite returns home to LA, and he wants to prove himself worthy of being here in AEW! He wants to face the best here, but who steps up to take him on?
“My God, it’s been a long time. I’ve been thinking, waiting, healing. Everything you’ve put me through made me realize that all I need is to get closer to you again. So I will return to AEW to help my fellow man. The Bastards, the Punks, the Cowboys, and the pagans, too. And I will redeem them all. And those good deeds are what’s going to bring me back to the Kingdom of Heaven. Where I will find you! You separated me from my gold and kept me from my home! But my neck of sand is now fixed! It’s my heart that’s broken… My God, I no longer wish to come home. I now want to come and take yours! The Redeemer is back, flawless!” AKA, MIRO has returned! Will he CRUSH Johnny Elite and be redeemed in combat?
The bell rings and fans fire up! Miro and Johnny circle, Johnny tries a testing kick but Miro stays up. Miro blocks Johnny’s next kick to CLOBBER him! Miro stomps Johnny, kicks him and throws hands, then bumps him off buckles! Miro fires off big hands and stomps away! The ref counts, Miro lets off and fans are fired up even more! Miro drags Johnny up, Johnny throws hands but Miro whips him to a corner. Johnny BOOTS, goes up the corner, but Miro drags him down to SAIDO! Miro snarls while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Miro flexes while fans rally up. Miro drags Johnny up, KICKS him in the back, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Miro lets off and then KICKS Johnny in the back! Miro snarls as Johnny flounders to a corner. Miro brings Johnny up but Johnny throws body shots! Johnny runs, but Miro CLOBBERS him! Miro soaks up the cheers, then brings Johnny up to suplex! Miro stomps Johnny, drags him up and suplexes him again! Miro paces around Johnny, runs and drops an elbow! Cover, TWO! Miro stomps Johnny, sits him up and nods before he DECKS Johnny with a right! Miro clamps on a chinlock and squeezes tight!
Johnny endures, fights up, throws body shots and ROCKS Miro with a forearm! Dynamite returns to single picture as Johnny runs. Miro follows but Johnny elbows him away. Johnny runs in, ducks and dodges, but leaps into Miro’s arms! Miro swings and SLAMS Johnny down! Fans fire up and he aims from a corner. Miro stomps around, Johnny gets up, but Johnny avoids the kick, waistlocks, spins Miro around and ROUNDHOUSES! Miro wobbles, but he stands up again. Johnny fires off heavy strikes, but Miro throws him to a corner, only to miss in the corner. Johnny fires off more strikes, then runs, springboard, FLYING CHCUK!
Fans fire up as Johnny hits a STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, ONE!! Johnny keeps moving, SHINING WIZARD! Johnny gets up top, fans rally, BARREL ROLL, but Johnny has to roll through as Miro dodges! BEST KICK! Miro snarls with wide eyes and fans fire up with him! Miro shouts for it, and he stomps Johnny into the GAME OVER!! Johnny is bent back, he taps out! Miro wins!
Winner: Miro, by submission
Redemption! But this is just the first! Will Miro fight his way to the Pearly Gates, and end up with AEW gold?
The Jericho Appreciation Society heads to the ring!
The “recognized symbol of excellence in sports entertainment” was shockingly victorious in the bloody and brutal Anarchy in the Arena match. Fans sing Judas as the pyro pops off and Chris Jericho leads Jake Hager, Angelo Parker & Matt Menard to the ring. Jericho then has the song stop and fans boo. Parker clears his throat and says at Double or Nothing, they DOMINATED Anarchy in the Arena. “Therefore, AEW Galaxy, APPRECIATE US!” Wink wink. Menard then takes the mic to say Daddy Magic wants to know, Double or Nothing, did you see it!? HUH!? Did you order it? If you did, then you know that JAS are the Princes of Pain! Nobody does it better!
Jericho smiles and says, “I know you all wanted to sing, but you don’t deserve it tonight. What you deserve is the winners of the Anarchy in the Arena, the Jericho Appreciation Society. But winning that match was not without a price. We had our heads bounced off the floor, went through tables, covered in mustard. I had my hair pulled out, I was knocked down, beaten down, and even worse, that psycho, Eddie Kingston comes to the ring- SHUT YOUR MOUTH! Here’s your Eddie Kingston!” He comes to the ring with a gas can, pours gasoline all over Jericho, and wants to light him on fire?! What kind of man burns another man? Uh…
But another thing! That other piece of trash, Bryan Danielson, he says at the end, “I’m going to kick his expletive head in!” Fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” for Bryan. But after that, Hager and Jericho choked Bryan OUT, and that lost the match! And Bryan isn’t here tonight! Fans boo but Jericho says “that is what Daniel Garcia will do to that fathead, Jon Moxley, here in the main even of Dynamite.” It is like the JAS says: every time sports entertainers VS pro wrestlers, sports entertainers win! ALWAYS! ALWAYS! Sports entertainers always win! But wait, here comes Eddie Kingston! The Mad King has his music cut, too, as he and Regal are together!
Fans are thunderous for Kingston and Regal, and Kingston says he’ll fight all of them right now! Bryan isn’t talking to Eddie, he hasn’t really talked with Mox in weeks, “Monkey” Ortiz isn’t talking to him, either. But Eddie doesn’t care! He just wants to fight them all! But y’know what? Regal, let them know where he wants to fight them! BLOOD AND GUTS!!! That’s right! Blood & Guts II is going to happen! Jericho says Kingston wants Blood & Guts? Uh oh, Kingston is storming up! Well he ain’t getting that match! Get him! They mug Kingston 3v1 with Jericho taunting Kingston in the ring! Kingston deserves to be in a cage, not the JAS!
But when Jericho turns around, Ortiz is there! MAD BALL!! And then Ortiz has scissors! He’s going to cut Jericho’s hair!! He gets a BIG lock of it! Fans are shocked, and then Ortiz runs as the JAS return! Fans chant for “Monkey! Monkey!” as he and Kingston regroup. Jericho yells at the stupid SOB for cutting his hair! Jericho’s hair is worth more than Ortiz’s entire existence! But if they want Blood & Guts, if they want to face the JAS again.. THEY’VE GOT IT! But… There has to be something in return. Jericho vows to shave Ortiz bald! If they want Blood & Guts, then we need Jericho VS Ortiz, Hair VS Hair! Ortiz says okay then!
Jericho says he’ll beat Ortiz, shave him, and BURN him, because he’s a wizard!! But will Jericho end up the one burned by his own gamble before being bloodied inside the double ring, double cage?
AEW shares what happened after Double or Nothing.
Samoa Joe was backstage with a trainer working on his arm and Alex Marvez asking about his loss to Adam Cole in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament finals.

Backstage interview with Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland.
Lexi Nair is with them and some special guests as she notes how close Keith & Swerve were to becoming new AEW World Tag Team Champions. How are they feeling now? Swerve wants to introduce us to his people first. We’ve got Gi from the MCU, man behind the Black Panther, Captain America: Civil War. Then there’s Flash Garments, man behind Swerve’s theme song. And last but not least, the fashion icon himself, Jeff Hamilton, presenting Swerve with a special jackets to sport around. In the Forum, we’ve had Jerry West and Chamberlain, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant and Shaq. Two single stars on one team.
Keith says it is to be noted that whether it be as a tag team or as singles competitors, the goal has been gained before, and it will happen again, and when it does, Keith expects we will all #SwerveInOurGlory. When and where will the Limitless House of Swerve grab golden opportunities here in AEW?
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
He gladly introduces someone who made her AEW debut at Double or Nothing, and now she makes her Dynamite debut, it is ATHENA! The Fallen Goddess made her presence known to AEW and the Baddies when she made sure they couldn’t bully Anna Jay. Schiavone says Athena didn’t back down from Jade Cargill, and he welcomes her officially to AEW. She thanks him and the fans, and says she can finally say it: Athena is All Elite! And it is no surprise why she’s here. The top tier competition of the AEW Women’s Division, nonetheless that of one dominant TBS Champion, Jade Cargill.
But Jade, Athena wants to keep it 100, real talk. All streaks were made to be broken, and Athena will break Jade’s! So you can say this or that, but Athena is the Fallen Goddess, the Alpha- Jade storms out to tell Tony to “cut the s*it!” Jade, with The Baddies and now Stokely Hathaway instead of Mark Sterling, walks out to say that she is #ThatBitch. Now, let her introduce us to the best talker in the game, Hathaway! “Athena, Athena, Athena, Athena. How dare you interrupt us at Double or Nothing your first day on the damn job, too. What a shame. Shame, shame, shame.” It is Hathaway’s job as Jade’s publicist to inform Athena and everyone that Jade right here is a QUEEN.
Jade is a goddess, and is our TBS Champion! And Hathaway knows Athena wants a title shot, but guess what? Hathaway holds the mic up for Jade so she can say, “Not today!” HA! Athena says okay, but then Kiera gets in her way. Athena says okay, if it’s like that… Anna Jay walks out! AND Kris Statlander! Kris stares down Velvet, Hathaway has everyone stand down. Security, get out here! Refs rush out, too, but Athena still stares Jade down. Will the Fallen Goddess fight her way up and prove she can beat #ThatBitch?
Wardlow VS JD Drake!
MJF’s meltdown may have been about management, but his mood certainly wasn’t helped losing to the Maestro of Mayhem. Wardlow is now truly All Elite and looks to finally get himself some gold! Will he maintain his #1 contender’s spot now that he is unleashed? Or can Scrap Metal find a way to end Wardlow’s warpath?
The bell rings and JD CHOPS Wardlow! Wardlow doesn’t flinch, so JD CHOPS again! That one stings, and JD boasts about it, only to turn around into the wind-up LARIAT! Wardlow snarls, whips JD to ropes, but JD gets around to waistlock and shove. Wardlow goes up, over, rolls and RAMS into JD! Then Wardlow hauls JD up and carries him around, for a SPINEBUSTER! The straps come down already and fans fire up! POWERBOMB! But fans all know that’s just the first verse! POWERBOMB! And then the cover, Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall
At 52-8, Wardlow is still on top! Tony Schiavone gets in the ring with Wardlow to say here in LA, we will say it again: Wardlow is All Elite! But then Mark Sterling storms out with a lot of security, and he tells “Wardy” to hold on here. Give him the documents! Wardlow must be pretty proud of himself, huh? All tickled pink! Wardlow thinks he can wreak havoc across the nation and get away with it? Wardlow says Sterling doesn’t watch the product. Sterling says take a look at what those papers say! He’s being served with a lawsuit on behalf of the American Arena Security Professionals, the people he’s been beating up for weeks and weeks!
Sterling says he’ll see Wardlow in court! Wardlow looks to the fans with a look that says, “Is he serious?” Wardlow tosses the papers aside to grab the guy who handed him the papers! Sterling says no, that man has a family! Well he also gets a POWERBOMB! And Wardlow rips up the papers, to feed them to the security guard! Will Wardlow beat this frivolous suit the same way he has just about everyone else?
Backstage interview with Dan Lambert and the Men of the Year.
Lexi Nair stands with the victorious Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page and brings up this Friday on Rampage, it will be Scorpio Sky VS Dante Martin for the AEW TNT Championship. Lambert’s thoughts are that where you like Dante or not, which for the record Lambert doesn’t, no one can deny Dante’s ability or potential. But that means if Dante does everything right over the next couple of years, he’ll end up where Scorpio Sky is right now. Which would be great, if Dante had a couple more years. But he’s only got days, bro! And none of the potential gets him any closer to “Genie.” Scorpio won’t let Dante even touch Genie!
So here’s what Dante should do: enjoy this “California vacation.” Walk down Sunset Boulevard, get you some Rosco’s Chicken ‘n’ Waffles, because on Friday, you’ll get your ass handed to you by the only man worthy of being The Face of TNT. But Dante steps in to stop the snap! Dante “appreciates” all the confidence they have in his potential, but he thinks he is better than Scorpio is right now. And on Rampage, he proves it! Dante steps away, but will he step up to the plate to get struck out by The Closer? Or will he hit the biggest home run of his career?
Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter w/ Rebel VS Toni Storm & Ruby Soho!
This looks familiar. But there is a change, actually: The Doctor is now “The Queen of Harts,” having defeated both the Lightning From Down Under and the Runaway in the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament! Will she and her assistant do the same again in LA? Or will Storm & Soho avenge themselves in the aftermath?
The teams sort out, Storm and Britt start and they circle. Hayter talks trash to get at Storm but then gets away before Storm can hit her. Britt kicks Storm, fires off forearms, but Storm puts Britt in a corner to fire off forearms and stomps! The ref counts, Storm lets off and whips Britt to ropes. Britt holds ropes and bails out to regroup with Hayter and show off the Queen of Harts belt. Soho and Storm sigh, the belt is put back and Britt gets in. Storm waits on Britt, but Britt wants to tag Hayter. Hayter is hesitant, she did lose to Storm in the tournament. Storm rolls Britt up! TWO, Storm headlocks but Britt powers out.
Britt drops down but Storm redirects herself and basement dropkicks Britt! Fans fire up, Storm tags Soho and snapmares Britt. They DOUBLE PENALTY KICK, then Soho covers, TWO! Soho wrenches an arm, Britt pulls hair to throw Soho down! Britt drags Soho up, tags Hayter, and they mug Soho. Hayter stomps, but Soho JAWBREAKERS! Soho runs in, Britt tags and Hayter BOOTS Soho! Hayter puts Soho on the apron, BOOTS her again, then Britt trips Soho and spins her around! DRAPING SWINGING NECKBREAKER! Britt is all smiles as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref has to keep Storm back so Hayter gets away with extra stomps. Britt puts Soho in, drags her to a cover, TWO! Britt drags Soho up, taunts Storm, then taunts Soho. Soho fires forearms! Britt gives them back, snap suplexes Soho, then covers, TWO! Britt drags Soho up by her hair, wraps her up in a seated cobra twist, and grinds her forearm into Soho’s face. Soho endures, the ref reprimands, but Britt CLUBS Soho in the chest! Soho fights up, throws body shots, but Britt pushes her to the corner. Tag to Hayter, and they mug Soho. Hayter snap suplexes Soho, covers, TWO! Hayter bumps Soho off buckles, then brings her around to do it again!
Hayter dusts off her hands, holds Soho in place but the ref counts. Hayter lets off, and Britt gets her shots in! Storm protests but Britt gets away with it. Hayter CLUBS Soho, then DECKS Storm! Hayter CLUBS Soho, scoops her and SLAMS her! Cover with a knee, TWO! Hayter is annoyed but she drags Soho up to tag Britt. Britt stomps Soho, pushes her down, and stomps her more. Cover, ONE! Britt clamps on a facelock and then fires off forearms. Dynamite returns to single picture and Britt mocks Soho before she throws another forearm. Britt reels Soho in but Soho fights the butterfly suplex to a backslide! TWO, and Britt keeps Soho from Storm.
Hayter goes around the way to trip Storm off the apron! Hayter taunts fans while Britt fires shots on Soho. Soho reverses the whip to SAIDO! Fans fire up while both women are down, and Soho crawls to her corner. Hot tags to Hayter and Storm! Fans fire up as these two meet again! Storm runs Hayter over, DECKS Britt, then gets around Hayter to GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans fire up, Storm HIP ATTACKS Hayter, then TORNADO DDTs! Hayter bails out, Storm goes to the apron, TORNADO- NO! Hayter blocks that one to put Storm on the apron, DRAPING SWINGING NECKBREAKER! But Soho’s up top, SUPER CROSSBODY!
Fans are thunderous, but Soho turns around into a SLINGBLADE from Britt! Britt gets Storm and Hayter in the ring, Hayter SLIDING KNEES Storm! Cover, TWO! Hayter gets up, underhooks Storm’s arms, but Storm blocks the lift! Storm Alabama Lifts, for the ALABAMA SLAM! Tag to Soho, she climbs up and SUPER- NO, Soho has to land on her feet as Hayter moves! Britt SUPERKICKS Soho!! Storm gets Britt for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Hayter BOOTS Storm, but Soho gives Hayter an ST- NO! Hayter fight off the STO for an IRISH CURSE BACKBREAKER! Fans are thunderous again and Hayter tags Britt!
Britt reels Soho into the corner, she climbs up and fans chant, “This is Awesome!” TORNADO BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Storm trips Hayter up! Britt is distracted, she hurries to superkick but Soho deflects and rolls her up! Cover, TWO!! Britt is up, wrench and NO FUTURE!! Soho covers, TWO!?! And into the RINGS OF SATURN! Britt wants her glove, Soho pushes up out of the hold but Britt still tries! Soho gets the cover, but Hayter tips it back over! Britt has the Rings, but Soho still tries! Britt uses that to get a cover, TWO!! FISHERMAN SCREW!! Britt and Storm talk trash, Hayter rushes in but almost hits Britt!
Britt and Hayter take a second, but now Storm trips Hayter up again! Soho gets a cradle! TWO!! But Soho blocks a kick to give a KICK! DESTINATION UNKNOWN!! Cover, Soho & Storm win!!
Winners: Toni Storm & Ruby Soho, by pinfall
Soho’s take on Bladerunner wins it for her, but then Hayter CLOBBERS Storm with the Queen of Harts belt! Soho goes after Hayter but Britt has her leg! BELT SHOT!! Fans boo and Hayter hands the belt to Britt. Britt and Hayter stand tall despite the loss, will AEW once again belong to Britt Baker, DMD?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!
The Young Bucks look to prove themselves worthy of the AEW World Tag Team Championships by taking on the team that dethroned them! Young Bucks VS Lucha Brothers this Friday, will Matt & Nick Jackson fight their way to that match with Jurassic Express? Or will Penta & Fenix win their way back into the title scene?
After the confrontation between Jade and her enemies, Kiera Hogan takes on Athena! The Fallen Goddess has her AEW in-ring debut, will she get her first AEW win off one of Jade’s Baddies? And in a Forbidden Door teaser, we will see David Finlay make his AEW debut against the former AEW World Champion, HANGMAN ADAM PAGE! Will the Cowboy get his s*it together and get back up on the horse?
AEW also announces coming events!
Blood & Guts II is on the books! June 29th, in Detroit! But will it just be Kingston taking on the JAS? And for Road Rager 2022, it will be Hair VS Hair, Jericho VS Ortiz! If Jericho survives Blood & Guts, will he end up shaved bald by Monkey?
Jon Moxley VS Daniel Garcia!
Sure, Blackpool Combat Club and friends lost to the Jericho Appreciation Society in Anarchy in the Arena, but we know that the war is far from over! Blood & Guts is on the horizon, will the Maniac make Red Death bleed as much as he did at Double or Nothing? Or can the sports entertainer inflict more pain on the pro-wrestler?
Jericho and Regal are on commentary, talking trash on each other and their factions, and even take joy in seeing some of the celebrities in the crowd. The bell rings, Garcia and Moxley circle. They knuckle lock, then break. Fans rally up for Mox as he and Garcia tie up again. Moxley puts Garcia in a corner, Garcia turns it around, but the ref counts. Garcia lets off at 4, the two go again. They tie up, Moxley wrenches, headlocks, but Garcia powers out. Moxley runs Garcia over, then puts him in a corner. Moxley CHOPS Garcia, follows him to another corner, and CHOPS him again. Moxley follows Garcia to a third corner, and CHOPS again!
Moxley whips Garcia to ropes but Garcia kicks him! Garcia CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS in return, but Moxley just stands there! Garcia JABS, Moxley CHOPS! Garcia falls over, but he gets up to CHOP! Moxley CHOPS, we’ve got a CHOP fight! Fans “WOO!” with each one, but Garcia snapmares and PENALTY KICKS Mox in the back! Moxley snarls and gets up. Garcia talks trash and pie faces Moxley a couple times. Moxley SLAPS him, snapmares and PENALTY KICKS in return! Moxley drags Garcia up to snapmare and KICK again! Garcia writhes but Moxley pushes him to a cover, TWO! They knuckle lock, Moxley pushes an arm down, ONE!
Moxley and Garcia stand, go forehead to forehead in the knuckle lock, and Garcia gives HEADBUTT after HEADBUTT! Then a haymaker! And another! But Moxley reels Garcia in for the underhooks! Garcia pushes Moxley back and they tumble out of the ring! Moxley’s stitches pop and he’s bleeding from the forehead! Not that he cares, he whips Garcia. Garcia reverses to RAM Moxley into steel steps! And then Garcia traps Moxley’s leg between steps and post, to run and SHOTGUN the steps! Moxley writhes and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Garcia puts the steps back in place to trap Moxley again. Garcia stomps and rains down fists on Moxley’s bloody forehead! Garcia paces around, then comes back to get Moxley free of the steps. Garcia hauls Moxley up into the ring, covers, TWO! Garcia grabs the bad leg and YANKS it! Moxley hobbles to a corner, Garcia is after the bad leg. Garcia puts it through ropes and pulls! The ref counts, Garcia lets off, and then he KICKS the ropes to jam the leg! Moxley has a crimson mask forming but he CHOPS Garcia! Garcia sweeps the legs! Garcia has the leg for a standing toehold, then the FIGURE FOUR!
Moxley endures, reaches out at Garcia, but Garcia puts more pressure on! Moxley moves around, rocking back and forth, and he turns the hold over onto Garcia! Now Garcia endures, turns it over, and they get the ROPEBREAK! The ref undoes the hold, Moxley hobbles away but Garcia grins. Garcia runs in at the corner, into a back elbow! Moxley goes up, but Garcia trips him up! Moxley is stuck up top, Garcia wags his finger. Garcia climbs up after Moxley and CLUBS away on that bloody forehead! And even BITES at it! The ref reprimands, Garcia stops at 4 and seems to enjoy the taste of Moxley blood.

Cover, TWO!! Moxley shakes his head but his crimson mask is now all over his face! Garcia gets the legs and steps through, but Moxley rakes the eyes! Garcia staggers away, Moxley bails out, and Moxley goes to the steel steps. Garcia rushes out after Moxley, but runs into a kick! Moxley positions Garcia, X-PLEX onto the stairs! And he bounces off them!! Fans lose their minds while Moxley gets back in the ring.

But Moxley grabs Garcia’s head and drag shim off! But Garcia turns that to a cradle, TWO!! Moxley and Garcia start firing off forearms! Moxley rebounds to ROCK, Garcia rebounds to BOOT! DOUBLE FOREARMS collide, and both men fall over! Fans are electric as both men bail out! Garcia jumps on Moxley for a SLEEPER! Moxley goes to the timekeeper’s area to BACKPACK SENTON onto the table!! They tip things over, fans are thunderous again!
Moxley drags Garcia up and back to the ring. Fans are loving “A E DUB!” but then Jericho rushes to the ring! The Wizard won’t let his guy lose like this! Garcia rolls Moxley but Moxley rolls through, REGAL KNEE!! Eddie Kingston returns, and though stumbling a bit, he goes after Jericho! PARADIGM SHIFT for Garcia!!! Then BULLY CHOKE!! Garcia is OUT, Moxley wins!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission
Eddie is still raining down fists on Jericho! Fans are thunderous, and Eddie finally lets off, but he gets a chair. Eddie threatens Jericho with it, making sure he knows what’s coming on the road to Blood & Guts! Moxley gets a mic to say, “Eddie, you are one hard guy to love. But gaddamit, you know I love it. You want Blood & Guts? Sign up Jon Moxley, you’ve got BLOOD! AND! GUTS!!” June 29th, Motor City, The Jericho Appreciation Society at least has two opponents, but will we see Ortiz, Santana and Bryan Danielson join in like they did for Anarchy in the Arena?
My Thoughts:
This is how you follow up a PPV while also setting up another! First, a great surprise in teaming Punk with FTR, they had a great Six Man Tag against Acclaimed Gunn Club. Now of course the team of champions win, but we also got a great promo from them to plug Forbidden Door, and how awesome that it’ll be Tanahashi taking on Punk. Tanahashi may not be champion right now, but he is in that “above titles” space, and Tanahashi VS Punk is a dream match. FTR indirectly call out United Empire, and given last week’s attack, it’s a given that is another match. And great matches set for Rampage, such as Hangman VS Finlay in another Forbidden Door teaser.
Good promo segment from The Baddies and their enemies, and Kiera VS Athena is going to be very good. Athena surely wins but definitely expect Jade and Velvet to get involved after. We need the Six Woman Tag before Jade has another challenger. Great tag match out of Britt & Hayter VS Soho & Storm, and it was a great rematch from their pre Double or Nothing tag match. I almost thought Hayter was going to help Britt steal it, but Soho & Storm still win. Intriguing storytelling here where Soho & Storm can’t beat Britt 1v1 but can as a team. I just hope AEW gives Soho and Storm the big wins they deserve that WWE (Vince) never saw in them.
Johnny Elite’s open challenge sure didn’t go the way anyone expected it to. Miro returns, he dominates and defeats Morrison, and now it’s Miro who gets going post-PPV. Maybe Miro is going to find his way to a title and give whoever it is one hell of a match, fans sure loved seeing him back. Speaking of which, really good promo out of Men of the Year and Dante Martin to hype up the TNT Championship match. Scorpio VS Dante is going to be wild stuff but in the end, pretty sure Scorpio retains. Scorpio just got that awesome looking purple ‘n’ gold belt, he’s going to hold onto that for a good long time.
Great 10 Man Tag tonight, even with the alterations to it. Jeff Hardy is still banged up from the match with the Bucks, and understandably so with another of those steel step spots. Darby Allin steps in and it works since he wants payback on Kyle. Great stuff with Cole on commentary going back and forth between confident and frustrated, and the little bit of Matt Hardy and Christian working out their differences. Undisputed Elite wins out because they’re going to be rolling back up the rankings. Bucks VS Lucha Brothers on Rampage is going to be awesome stuff all over again, but I would think Bucks win to get after Jurassic Express and the titles. Bucks might get those off Jurassic Express, because then one day, we’ll get more FTR VS Bucks for those titles.
Wardlow of course squashes JD Drake, but I like that Mark Sterling is continuing story with him on behalf of MJF and the jobber security guards. Honestly, a story like that should’ve been done in wrestling by now, so very smart of Smart Mark Sterling and AEW to do that. Who knows how this goes but it is a brilliant way to keep Wardlow going while he waits for title scenes to sort out. He is #1 contender, he will surely stay that for a good stretch, then he’ll have his pick of titles, though why wouldn’t he go for THE AEW World Championship? Give us Wardlow VS Punk, even as Face VS Face, though Punk did a great job being Tweener against Hangman so he can do that here, too.
Great promo from Keith & Swerve with their special guests to make a point that they’re sticking together. They weren’t just in the AEW Tag Division to get even with Team Taz, they want to be AEW’s Two Man Power Trip, and that would be cool to see at some point. Great stuff out of Jericho Appreciation Society and the extended Blackpool Combat Club faction. Good promo to set up what I was hoping for at Double or Nothing with Blood & Guts, that will be on “free TV” so no one gets robbed of that experience. And while it looks like 5v2, it will of course be 5v5 before then.
Though a bit odd that they scheduled Hair VS Hair for after Blood & Guts. Don’t they want to give us Bald Jericho or Bald Ortiz inside that cage? Well, okay, maybe not, the bald guy could end up bleeding from really bad spots on his head… But either way, great to hear that Road Rager is coming back, and I am going to love seeing Jericho end up bald or at least crewcut. Moxley VS Garcia was AWESOME, Garcia needs to realize he is still a pro-wrestler at heart and he turns on Jericho to join BCC to be another of the young generation like Wheeler Yuta. Then you’ve got a tag team of Yuta and Garcia, Moxley and Bryan can go for the singles title, BCC is dripping with blood and gold!
And I saved the best for last. MJF, Max Friedman, a generational talent on the mic if ever there was one, and honestly, no one can take away from what MJF said in the ring. Modern Day Pipebomb? Maybe. But it’s really telling that when WWE and talent have a dispute over creative, the talent is stripped of the titles, suspended without pay, and as far as anyone knows, it’s 99.99% shoot. Meanwhile, AEW and talent have a dispute over pay, and it’s to give us an all time instant classic promo that can actually feed into creative! WWE may want MJF, but they do not DESERVE MJF, and AEW will surely give MJF what he’s owed and we’ll see MJF get himself a title before year’s out.
My Score: 9.4

PLAY BY PLAY
Adam Cole is here!
Ontario, California fires up for the Panama City Playboy, and he brings his AEW TNT Championship to the ring. The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Story Time with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Now, the reason he has a giant smile is because this is the 100th episode of Collision! The strides that Collision has made in such a short time is impressive. Cole wants to thank the fans. AEW has the best wrestlers on the planet delivering some of the best matches we’ve ever seen, and dammit, these are the best fans he has ever been in front of!
“AEW is built on the future, and I’m excited about the future. Because right now, I am your TNT Champion, and this title is going nowhere. I am proud of where Collision has been, and I’m proud of where it is going. I am proud to represent TNT as your TNT Champion. I am proud about our future. In 2025 and beyond, I will hold onto this championship, because dammit, I’m Adam Cole, Baybay. And that is undisputed.” The fans cheer, but here comes Kyle Fletcher! The fans are torn as the Protostar has a mic to say, “Pardon the interruption, Adam, but I just wanted to personally congratulate everybody, and especially you, on such a huge milestone. 100 episodes of Collision, that’s huge!
“And you’ve had a fantastic run as the Face of TNT. But the next 100 episodes of Collision and the entire future of this company belong to ME.” The fans are torn on that, too, but Kyle says Cole loves to do story time. How about story time with the Protostar? Now, does Cole remember All In 2023? Of course he does! He main-evented the biggest pro-wrestling show of all time for the AEW World Championship. But earlier that night, he faced a young ‘n’ hungry Kyle Fletcher for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. And while that was the greatest night of Cole’s life, that was the WORST night of Kyle’s!
Cole took away the biggest accomplishment of Kyle’s life, purely to stroke his own ego. But now, Kyle stands here a totally different man. Kyle KILLED that version of Kyle to stand here the most perfect pro-wrestler in the world! Again, the fans are torn, but Kyle says he wants nothing more than to make Cole feel exactly how he did two years ago. So at All In: Texas, Globe Life Field, Kyle wants his shot at HIS TNT Champions! The fans like where this is going! Kyle says everyone int he world knows no one is more deserving of that shot! But wait! Daniel Garcia makes his way out here! The fans cheer as Daniel Garcia joins Kyle on stage.
Garcia asks, “What’s good, Ontario?” And he hears all this talk about the past of Collision, the future of Collision, the future of AEW, the TNT title, but when you talk about those things, you better bring up one name: Daniel Garcia. Now, Fletcher, their match is the main event. Garcia isn’t looking past Kyle, but he would be lying if he said he wasn’t a little distracted. Because when Garcia looks in the ring, he sees the man who beat him for the TNT Championship and that belt over his shoulder. Garcia can only think one thing to himself: “I need that.” Cole says he has all the respect for Garcia, and any time, any place that Garcia wants his shot, he’s got it.
But do not forget, Cole beat him before and he’ll beat him again. As for Kyle, the person living in Lala Land is just lying to himself. Last time, Cole had Kyle beat, and the Don Callis Family had to get involved because they knew it, and Kyle knows it. Cole had his number then and has his number now. So here’s a great idea: Let’s just go All In! Kyle wants his shot at the TNT title, Garcia wants his shot at the TNT title, and Cole is a fighting champion. At All In, he’ll face them both! Kyle says no no no, that’s not gonna happen. Kyle was screwed out of the title once, he won’t do it again. Kyle beat Garcia when he was TNT Champion, and he never got his shot!
Kyle says in a perfect and just world, HE would be here as TNT Champion! Garcia says oh c’mon, Kyle thinks he deserves to be a champion just cuz he beat Garcia? Congrats, who hasn’t beat Garcia? Garcia has been losing for his entire career, for his entire life, but every time he loses, he gets back up. The fans applaud that! Garcia says every time he fails, he gets back up! So Cole, Kyle, he isn’t asking for his shot because he “deserves” one, he wants to earn it. So here’s another idea: Garcia and Kyle are already in a big main event match, but let’s put it all on the line! Garcia VS Kyle, winner goes on to have the biggest match of their lives against Adam Cole for the TNT Championship!
The fans cheer, Kyle is annoyed, but Cole says if that’s how they wanna play it, that’s how they’ll do it. May the best man win. Garcia raised the stakes of tonight’s main event, but will he be ready to go All In? Or will the Aussie Arrow be the one flying to Texas?
Toni Storm speaks.
“This is a message for that the little girl watching from home. The one who begged her parents to buy All In so that she could sit in front of the television to watch the greatest women’s match of all time. It won’t be. It will be a lesson, and the lesson is this: Someone can only hurt you as much as you let them, and when they can’t hurt you anymore, if they hurt the people you love, you have absolutely every right to rip their bloody tits off. Some things in life are not worth fighting for. But if you’re lucky, one thing in your whole life will be worth every last drop of blood. Fortunately for me, that thing happens to be the big shiny gold belt that I wear around my waist.
“What you’re about to witness will change you in foul ways. Probably our mother, too. It won’t be nice, it won’t be pretty, but you will remember it forever. Hopefully, it will discourage you from becoming a wrestler yourself, because there are only two kinds of people in this world: Ruthless, greedy, power-hungry megalomaniacs who will stop at nothing to have it all, and the people who end them. Good night, darling. See you next week.”
Triple Threat: Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS Kevin Knight w/ “Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy!
Montel Vontavious Porter has practically begged for teams to step up to the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and he got what he wanted! #JetSpeed wants their shot, but so does The Patriarchy! This won’t automatically make a title match, but it could go a long way to putting one together. Will The Jet be 2Fly2Stop? Will The Prodigy make Christian Cage proud? Or will neither of them measure up to the Standard of Excellence?
The bell rings and Knight is right after Shelton! Nick bails out to let them brawl, and Shelton CLUBS Knight, then KNEE him down! Nick returns to CLUB Shelton, but that just makes Shelton mad! Nick runs away with a smug grin on his face, but Knight DROPKICKS Shelton! Shelton tumbles out, but he drags Knight out to join him! Shelton LARIATS Knight, then brings him around the way. Shelton RAMS Knight into the apron, then THROWS him into the barrier! And repeat! The fans fire up while Knight slumps against barriers, and Shelton puts him in the ring. But Nick snags the cover, TWO! Shelton storms in but Nick backs off.
Shelton swings, Nick dodges, and Nick handsprings, only for Shelton to catch him! And THROW him away! The fans fire up while Shelton paces. Nick and Knight go to a corner, the fans sing, “We Hurt~ People!” Shelton runs up, but Knight snatches him to a cradle, TWO! Shelton is up but Nick BOOTS him! Knight & Nick DOUBLE DROPKICK, and Shelton tumbles out! The fans rally, Nick wants a high-ten, but Knight says fine. Knight then builds speed, only for Nick to UPPERCUT! The fans boo and Nick grins. MVP tells Shelton to get serious with these kids. Nick kicks Knight, puts him in a corner, then RAMS into those bad ribs.
The fans rally but Nick RAMS Knight again. And again! Nick mocks the applause from the fans while Collision goes picture in picture.
Nick paces, drags Knight up, and snapmares him for a leg drop! Cover, TWO! Knight stays in this but Shelton is back! Shelton sneaks up behind Nick, Nick backs up into him and realizes what’s going on. Shelton hits a BIG back suplex! Nick flounders away, Shelton stalks Knight, and Shelton LARIATS Knight! Then whisp him hard into the corner! Knight slumps, Shelton whips him OUT of the ring, then goes out after Nick. Shelton drags Nick up to scoop and SLAM him on the floor! Nick writhes, Shelton paces, and MVP tells him not to play with his food. Shelton scoops Nick to SLAM him again! Shelton leaves Nick behind to go after Knight.
Knight CHOPS! And CHOPS! Shelton CHOPS in return! Knight staggers away to the corner, but Shelton puts him in the ring. Shelton then goes back to Nick, wraps on a SLEEPER, but Nick JAWBREAKERS free! Nick hurries into the ring, brings Knight up, and snapmares for a chinlock. Knight endures as Nick squeezes tight, and Collision 100 returns to single picture. Bailey coaches Knight, Kip Sabian & Mother Shayna coach Nick, and Knight rises up. Knight fires body shots, the fans rally, but Nick cravats for a neck wrench. Knight fires more shots, fires forearms, and he ROCKS Nick! Knight runs, Shelton is back, FLAPJACK!

The fans sing along with Me Muero for the winners! Will this momentum help Briscoe, Hologram and Mistico have a great showing in the Casino Gauntlet? Oh, wait, speaking of, MJF & MVP interrupt via the tron. MJF asks if MVP saw that amazing finish. This is so exciting! Hologram, go teleport your ass back to the hotel, MJF doesn’t care about you. MJF is here to talk to Mistico and Briscoe, aka Jabroni y El Jabroni. MVP likes that, that’s clever. MJF says he knows Spanish. But MVP says we don’t “talky talk,” that is for poor, uneducated chicken farmers. MVP says men like him and MJF converse. They speak the language of violence.
So let’s converse right now. MJF says Briscoe wants to talk to him one-on-one, but MJF isn’t so sure. Nowadays, he rolls with his clique. When you’re in the Syndicate, you ride together, you die together, they hurt people. But MJF will still consider it. But as for Mistico, MJF knows he’s all excited to be in the gauntlet. IS HE? Because last time MJF checked, he’s gonna beat Briscoe within an inch of his life and pin him before anybody gets a chance to make an entrance. So now, they can go back to do what poor people do. MJF doesn’t know what that is, maybe count food stamps or something. MVP, talk us out.
MVP says he appreciates all the enthusiasm, but they’re way out of their league. MVP tells Mistico, in Spanish, that he is the biggest idiot in Mexico! MJF says it ain’t personal, it’s just business. MJF & MVP head out, but will Briscoe, Mistico, and just about everyone else in the gauntlet line-up make sure MJF does not win it?
BREAKING NEWS for All In!
While Kevin Knight got the big win in the Triple Threat, it will still be a Triple Threat for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! The Patriarchy is still in this mix, will they ruin the plans of both Hurt Syndicate and JetSpeed?

That is a command. Oh, and, uh… AHA~!
Ricochet & The Gates leave, will the Vanilla Babyface & Big Shotty even be able to stand, let alone earn Ricochet’s respect?

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite 300.
Renee Paquette found Anthony Bowens after the Men’s Casino Gauntlet #2 spot Fatal 4, and asked him how he felt after his defeat. He talked about his strategy going into the match, so- Bowens stops her there. There’s no room for negativity as the Pride of Pro-Wrestling. Billy Gunn then walks in, and he helps Bowens stand up. Bowens thanks Billy for the help now. Sorry, Billy thought the strategy was for him to not be ringside. Billy says he doesn’t know what Bowens is doing with all this. Bowens asks since when was that part of the strategy. He never said he didn’t want Billy out there. Well, that’s what Billy heard him say. He was back here watching the whole time.
Maybe Bowens doesn’t get this, but just because he’s a singles guy now doesn’t mean he’ll be world champion overnight. There will be bumps in the road, but they need to figure this out together. They can make it all work out. Bowens says Billy has been promising that for weeks but results need to happen now. All In is next week, Bowens has to win the gauntlet! He lost the chance at being #2 so now what? Trust Billy. Bowens & Billy scissor, but can Daddy Ass help the 5 Tool Player find the path to the top?

Megan lifts Anna for a fireman’s carry, but Anna fights free!
Anna goes to the corner, Megan runs up, but Anna dodges! Megan POSTS herself! Anna sees Skye gets up so she DECKS her! Ford runs up, but Anna sends her into buckles! Anna dribbles Ford off the buckles, but Megan runs up! LEAPING LARIAT!! Megan drags Anna up, reels her in, and hauls her up for a RUNNING POWERBOMB!! Cover, the villainesses win!
Winner: Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Julia Hart, by pinfall
While the Fallen Goddess was running from her challenger, the Megasus dominated for her team. Will this be exactly what Megan does once she’s in the Casino Gauntlet? As for Athena, will the Forever Champion end up losing the title she’s held for TWO YEARS to Thunder Rosa? Or will Supercard of Honor not be her final battle?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
The Dynamite before All In sees an All Star 8 Man Tag! The Death Riders once again team up with The Young Bucks to take on Hangman Page, Will Ospreay, Katsuyori Shibata & Will Hobbs! Will Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and the EVPs abuse their power and have the edge going into All In? Or can Cowboy, Assassin, Wrestler and Powerhouse bring down the house before going to Globe Life Field? But that’s not all as the odd men out, Samoa Joe and Wheeler Yuta, will go 1v1! Will the Opps or the Death Riders have the advantage going into a World Trios Championship match?
Plus, after the big match we just saw, Megan Bayne, Tay Melo, Queen Aminata and Thekla will all be in a Fatal 4 Way! The winner will be the Women’s Casino Gauntlet #2 entrant, who takes their destiny into their own hands?
Alex Windsor speaks.
“For eight long years, I wrestled on the UK independent scene, and when I was finally hitting my stride, I had my leg taken out from under me and I tore my ACL. There was a point where I didn’t think I’d ever be able to wrestle again. But there was just something that would not let me quit, because I knew the only thing that could make me feel human again, the only thing that could bring me back from the edge, was being inside a wrestling ring. And although I am All Elite now, the mission doesn’t stop until there is gold around my waist. I want to prove to my son what his mum has had to endure to become one of the best in the world.
“I am Iron Will, I am Alex Windsor!” Will Alex prove she is unbreakable when she finally gets back in that AEW ring?
AEW TNT Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Daniel Garcia VS Kyle Fletcher!
Adam Cole joins commentary for this one, but so has Don Callis, because this one is all about who Cole faces at All In. The Red Death held the title previously, but he admittedly did lose to the Protostar during the Continental Classic. Will Kyle correct the oversight of not getting a title match? Or will the Dragonslayer go from one redemption to another?
The bell rings, the fans rally, and the two circle. They tie up, Kyle puts Garcia in a corner, the ref counts, and Callis praises Kyle’s physical strength. Kyle backs off with a roll, then he puts up his dukes to mock Garcia’s dance. Garcia says that’s not even close, but he and Kyle reset. They tie up, Kyle powers Garcia to another corner, but Garcia turns things around. The ref counts, Garcia lets off with a roll, and he shows Kyle how it’s done! The fans cheer, but then Kyle kicks low! Kyle headlocks for the takeover, fights off a headscissor, but Garcia cravats from below. Garcia moves around, rises up, and the fans rally.
Garcia powers up and out, but Kyle runs him over! Things keep moving, Kyle runs Garcia over again! Kyle drops onto Garcia for a headlock, but Garcia fights his way up again. Garcia powers up and out, Kyle RAMS Garcia, but Garcia ducks ‘n’ dodges. Garcia CLOBBERS Kyle on the return and the fans fire up! Garcia has Kyle in the corner, climbs up, and he flips Callis off! The fans cheer and Garcia rains down fists! The fans count, but Kyle stops Garcia at 6 to BOOT him down! The fans still cheer that, and Kyle grins while Cole admits Kyle has power and speed. Kyle scoops to SLAM Garcia, and Garcia goes to the corner.
Kyle aims at the corner, runs in, but Garcia ducks! The gamangiri crashes ‘n’ burns and Kyle falls to the apron! Garcia runs to DROPKICK Kyle, then he does his dance with some extra stank! Garcia goes out after Kyle, runs up, but Kyle BOOTS him again! The fans are torn but Callis hugs it out with his guy. The fans definitely boo that, and Cole stares down with Kyle. Garcia BOOTS Kyle, Cole fist bumps with him, and Callis claims there’s a bias. But Kyle BOOTS right back! Then scoops to LAWN DART Garcia into barriers! Garcia falls in a heap and Kyle mockingly says check on him. Kyle hangs out with his fans at ringside while the others boo.
Kyle taunts the fans booing him, and we see Garcia is busted open! Kyle rains down fists, then shows off the bloody forehead. APRON BACK SUPLEX! Kyle grins while Garcia has a glazed look in his eyes, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Kyle shoves Garcia into the ring, paces around him, and watches as Garcia sputters and sits up. The crimson mask is growing and Kyle talks trash. Kyle drags Garcia up to scoop and SLAM! Garcia flounders to ropes while Kyle soaks up cheers ‘n’ jeers. Kyle paces, then he storms over to Garcia for a JUMP STOMP! The ref reprimands but Garcia flounders away to the other side. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Garcia again! Kyle drags Garcia from the ropes, paces around him again, then stands him up. Garcia fires a flurry of forearms! Garcia backs Kyle down, but Kyle DECKS Garcia! Garcia shows off the blood on his wrist tape while he paces around.
Kyle stands on the corner, and he licks the blood! The fans surely tell Kyle he’s sick, but Collision goes to break.
Collision 100 returns once again and Garcia rains down fists in the corner! He goes to nine, then winds up for TEN! The fans fire up while Kyle flounders. Garcia runs up, Kyle puts him on the apron and GAMANGIRIS! Garcia wobbles, but he reels Kyle in for a GUILLOTINE in the ropes! Callis protests, the ref counts, but Kyle goes to the apron! Kyle powers up but Garcia fights free! Garcia ducks a lariat to APRON GERMAN SUPLEX! Cole and Callis are both worried while the fans all fire up! Garcia stumbles back, Kyle goes the other direction, Garcia runs up and DROPKICKS Kyle into barriers!
The fans fire up as Garcia goes to the other side, runs back in, DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Garcia keeps moving, DROPKICK! Cole says Garcia is cooking here! Garcia puts Kyle on the apron, then slides into the ring. Garcia climbs up the corner, drags Kyle up to the top rope, and the fans fire up for the SUPER DUPER PLEX! Roll through, cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Callis is relieved. A standing count begins, Kyle and Garcia stir, and Garcia grabs the legs. Kyle BOOTS Garcia away, Garcia rebounds, but into Kyle’s cradle! Then deadlift, but Garcia slips free! Garcia waistlocks, they go to ropes, Kyle bucks the O’Conner! SUPERKICK!
Kyle reels Garcia in, lifts, LAST RIDE!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle is furious but then he rains down elbows! The ref wants Garcia to get his guard up but Kyle lets off.

The fans fire up while both men hit the floor! Callis and Cole are both worried again, but both men are still stirring. The ring count climbs, the fans rally, and Callis tells Garcia to stay down. Callis fans Kyle off, pats him on the shoulder, but we pass 5 of 10. Garcia is up first and he has Kyle, only for Kyle to get around! HALF ‘N’ HALF to the floor! Kyle grimaces as he drags himself up to his feet. Garcia sputters, twitches, but Kyle drags him up. Callis says get the ambulance. Kyle grins as he looks at Cole, and he reels Garcia in for an APRON POWERBOMB!! Garcia is down in a heap and Cole stands up in anger.
The fans are torn as Kyle leaves Garcia behind. The count starts again, Cole coaches Garcia, but can Garcia even hear him right now? The count is 5 of 10, and Garcia grabs the apron skirt! Garcia rises, but we’re at 8! Garcia leaps in at 9.99! But the GAMANGIRI hits in the corner!! And then Kyle suplexes, BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, Kyle wins!!
Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW TNT Championship)
Daniel Garcia fought his heart out, but his body could not withstand the viciousness of Kyle Fletcher. And now, the Aussie Arrow is aimed squarely at Adam Cole. Will the Protostar make himself the Face of TNT? Or will this title stay undisputed?
My Thoughts:
A great 100th episode of Collision, even with it being prerecorded on Wednesday. FTR VS Outrunners was an awesome match, and naturally FTR was winning, but it was a nice touch for Stokely to be involved right at the end so that The Outrunners’ power level isn’t hurt by the loss. The tag title story is a bit disconnected, though, as apparently Nick Wayne “interrupted” a Hurt Syndicate interview. It was a YouTube exclusive, not part of Dynamite, so Nick Wayne jumping into what they framed as Shelton VS Knight was weird. And even then, Knight won the Triple Threat by pinning Shelton, shouldn’t it just be JetSpeed VS Lashley & Shelton? And I’m pretty sure the only reason for the Triple Threat is so that Hurt Syndicate can lose the belts without taking the finish.
Great Six Man Tag from Briscoe, Hologram & Mistico VS Don Callis Family, and great win for the Faces. Good promo from MJF and MVP, but not really needed. They just wanted to step on Briscoe’s celebration before having the “talky talk” moment next week. Awesome return for Scorpio Sky after roughly 600 days of being away, and he of course got a win over Max Caster. The main thing from this is that Sky is also now leading a new faction with Christopher Daniels. Hopefully Top Flight gets some direction with this, they’ve been in a holding pattern for so long. And that’s not even the injuries, they’ve both been back for a good amount of time and they’ve only been contenders to the tag titles, not winners.
Very good promo from Claudio to call out The Opps, and I’m starting to really feel like Hook joins Death Riders as payback on Samoa Joe for replacing him so easily. Willow got a good win but it was mostly so we could have that moment of Kris and Yuta where Kris is still resistant to the idea of joining Death Riders. Great 8 Woman Tag, and Athena being scared of getting in the ring with Rosa was some good stuff. Another strong win for the Heels, and I feel like Megan is going to have a great showing in the Casino Gauntlet. But with Alex Windsor having another good promo, I feel like she could be a favorite to win. Then Alex faces the winner of Toni VS Mone at Forbidden Door. Good promo from Toni Storm, but it didn’t really add that much to the build.
And finally, something for the TNT Championship. Great promo to open the night, and it naturally raised the stakes on the main event. Garcia VS Fletcher was awesome, and that moment near the end with them both down on the outside really teased a double count out to make a Triple Threat for All In. But in the end, Kyle overwhelms Garcia and is the standalone #1 contender. Cole VS Fletcher is going to be awesome, and probably could go either way. But if the Don Callis Family is going to be as big as it is, it also needs to win some gold. There’s potential for them to really clean up next weekend with Konosuke Takeshita going for the ROH World Championship, Okada VS Omega for the “unified” championship, and now Fletcher going for the TNT title.
My Score: 9/10

Hangman Page is here!
Ontario, California fires up for the Cowboy as he storms right out to the ring. Hangman grabs a mic, and he says he is not going to waste our time because he has said plenty how much the AEW World Championship match means to him. He has said plenty on how much AEW and that title mean to him, and he has said he would ride through death itself for this! The fans cheer, and hangman says he made a promise that at All In, he would win THE AEW World Championship! That he would free it from the briefcase, hold it over his head for the world to see, and it is a vow he will keep with his life!
The fans cheer more, and Hangman continues with, “You can tie me up and you can bloody me, but it will not be enough. And like last week, you can wrap a chain around my neck and hang me from the sky! But you would have to kill me before I let this chance pass me by!” If you think he’ll let The Elite or the Death Riders cost them, then you’re the biggest dumbass in the world! Because at All In, like all of Jon Moxley’s matches, Hangman knows they are coming, so he will welcome them. “Give me The Elite! Give me ALL of the Death Riders! Jon Moxley, you give me everything or you give me death, and make this a TEXAS DEATH MATCH!!”
Well, as if on cue, Jon Moxley makes his way out from the bowels of the arena, Marina Shafir right behind him. The fans boo as these two make their way to ringside, and Hangman keeps his eyes locked on The Maniac. Moxley steps up to the apron, mic in hand, and he says, “So… At All In, you wanna put all your chips on the table? Your life, your health, your career, all on the line, all on the table, with the AEW World Championship, in a Texas Death Match.” The fans cheer that! But Moxley says, “No.” The fans boo, but Moxley says Hangman doesn’t want that. He might think he wants that, but he doesn’t.
To break it down, on July 12th, Hangman is going to lose. The fans chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at Moxley but he ignores it. At All In, Hangman is not going to win, because he doesn’t want to win. No, Hangman is happy where he is because it is safe and comfortable. Hangman doesn’t wanna wake up on Sunday morning with the AEW World Championship and everything that comes with it. Does Hangman know why he won the Owen Hart Cup? Because it wasn’t the highest peak. It wasn’t really the top of the mountain. It was nice, but THE top, no, that’s not for Hangman, that’s too much pressure, that’s for someone else.
Fans tell Moxley to STFU, but Moxley says he lives in pressure. Moxley knows there are those who say they’re the best in the world, and that’s “basic b*tch sh*t,” Moxley is much more than that. Moxley is much more than the AEW World Champion, and he’ll show the entire world that on July 12th. HE will show the world exactly who he is, and exactly what a world champion looks like. Hangman doesn’t have inside him what it takes to take this title from Moxley, and he certainly doesn’t have what it takes to win a Texas Death Match with Moxley. Hangman is not willing to go as far as he needs to go, it is not something he would survive, it is not something he’d walk away from.
Hangman SLAPS Moxley! Moxley is pissed and he TACKLES Hangman! The fans fire up as the two scrap, and Hangman gets the edge! AND he takes something out of his pocket! Is that a fork!? Wheeler Yuta appears outta nowhere, but then Hangman JAMS him with the fork! Marina SLAPS Hangman! The fans tell Hangman to fork her, but then she SLAPS him again! Hangman seethes, she SLAPS him again! And again and again and again! Hangman just stares her down! Hangman steps forward, but then Yuta anchors Hangman! Claudio Castagnoli TACKLES Hangman! The fans boo as the Death Riders mug Hangman!
Yuta & Claudio stomp away on Hangman, CHOKE him in the corner, then smother him with his own jacket! Moxley is in retreat and Marina checks on him. Claudio drags Hangman up and RIPS away his shirt! Gotch lift, NEUTRALIZER! The fans boo as Moxley needed the Decoder and the Swiss Cyborg to handle Hangman for him. Will this be exactly what happens in ten days at All In: Texas? Hangman grabs the mic to shout, “HOLD ON! HOLD ON! Is that the best you’ve got?! IS THAT THE BEST YOU’VE GOT?! Send your little neutered lap dog, Claudio, after me, cuz B*TCH, I’m still standing!”
The fans fire up and Claudio says okay, still standing, huh? Claudio grabs an open chair, takes it with him to ringside, but SAMOA JOE is here! Claudio says bet! Claudio gets up on the railing, Yuta is even backing him, but then Claudio spots Shibata and Hobbs walking up from the other side! The Opps continue to have Hangman’s back, but speaking of back, MARINA sneaks in behind Hangman! But she blocks the briefcase attack! The fans fire up and Hangman shouts, “Mox, have I got something of yours? HUH?! Be the champion you say you are! Be the champion you say you are and give me Texas Death! GIVE ME TEXAS DEATH!!”
Moxley is furious that the sneak attack failed so he storms back up to ringside. Moxley says fine, if Hangman wants it, he’s got it! ALL IN: TEXAS DEATH!! The fans are all fired up and Hangman grins. Hangman then walks up to Marina and hands her the briefcase. The fans cheer for #CowboyS*it, but then Hangman remembers one thing! Mox, you said that Hangman didn’t have what it takes for Texas Death, but Mox knows that’s a lie. But in case Mox needs to see that Hangman will do anything it takes… What?! BUCKSHOT ON MARINA!! No one can believe it, and Moxley is even angrier than before! But will Hangman do a lot worse once the bell rings?
Toni Storm is with Rachel Brosnahan.
The AEW Women’s World Champion is with the new Lois Lane in the new Superman film, and Rachel says she used to wrestle in high school. Toni asks what they used to call Rachel, and she says, “Just Rachel.” Oh, well, they should fix that. Rachel Reckoning! Rachel the Relentless! No, wait! Rachel the Ravishing Raven! Wait, wait! Rachel the Metropolis Maven! Rachel says she’ll take ’em. Put those on a shirt. Why yes, darling! See Superman in theaters starting July 11th!
Toni Storm heads to the ring!
And now, the AEW Women’s World Champion is accompanied by her butler, Luther, on the way out so that she may join commentary once again.
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Mina Shirakawa!
The CEO is currently #FiveBeltsMone, but she is so confident she’ll stay that way that she’s served Toni Storm a steak dinner to watch as she serves the Fighting Gravure Idol an L! But will Mone stay the Face of TBS? Or will we all be watching #MinaNow?
The introductions are made, the teal title is raised, and we see if the Money Train loses some of its cargo!
Mone lounges on a corner while the bell rings, and Mina runs up to HAMMER Mone down! The fans fire up as Mina fires off but Mone uses the ropes as a defense! The ref backs Mina off, Mone bails out, but Mina gives chase! They go around the outside, back into the ring, and Mone stomps away! The fans boo but Mone stops as the ref reprimands. Mone shows off the pics of Toni on the soles of her boots, then rips them off to throw them at Mina. Toni is rather anxious and worried right now, but Mina manages to KNEE Mone in return! Mina then slips under, but Mone sits on the sunset! The ref says she’s in the ropes!
Mone lets go, Mina sunsets, ONE! The fans duel as Mina SOBATS, runs, but Mone dodges and rolls Mina down into a crossface! Mina pops free, has Mone’s legs, but Mone kicks free. Things speed up, but Mina turns hurdle into FLAPJACK! Mina does her shimmy, says that belt is hers, but then has to go Matrix to dodge a haymaker! Victory roll, TWO! Mone blocks a punch to THROW Mina down by her hair! The ref reprimands and the fans boo, but Mone drags Mina up. Toni is in no mood to eat as Mone says this is ognna be her soon! Mone whips, but Mina reverses to THESZ PRESS! Mina rains down fast hands and the fans fire up!
The ref counts, Mina is throwing those closed fists. Mina stops, but she fires up to THROW Mone! The fans fire up and Mina storms up on Mone again. Mina TOSSES Mone the other way! The fans fire up as Mina shakes it up! Mina then stalks Mone, but Mone ELBOWS her away. Mone hits DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! Mone is up and METEORA! Mone throws down fists instead of going for the pin! The fans boo and Mone TOSSES Mina! Mone mocks Toni’s flailing about but Toni is not amused as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The other screen doesn’t really show up right away… Did they mean to go to break? Well, we return to single picture eventually, and Mina has Mone down. Toni is still worried as Mone claims her leg is hurting. Mina SPLASHES, covers, TWO! Mina drags Mone to center to SPLASH the leg! Mina wants the Figure Four but Mone drags her into the STATEMENT MAKER! Mina endures, the fans rally up, and Mina fights forward. Mone kicks off the ropes, but Mina rolls free! FIGURE FOUR! The fans “WOO~!” but Mone CLUBS at Mina’s leg! Mina SLAPS Mone, pushes on the hold, but Mone SLAPS back!
Mone rolls, rolls, and they end up on the apron, then fall to the floor! The leglock is undone and Toni is even more concerned. It’s almost like she’s watching a horror movie. The fans rally for Mina as she and Mone are still in this. Mina brings Mone up, sends her at the ring but Mone reverses. Mina tiger feint kicks from the apron! Then she FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up and Mina hurries to TORNADO DDT to the floor! The fans fire up even more and Mina puts Mone in the ring. Mone tiger feint kicks in return! Mone then METEORAS to the floor! Double-edged as Mone clutches her leg, but Toni has gone back to being stoic.
Mina and Mone stir while the ref starts the ring count. The count is 8, Mone rolls in, but Mina is in at 9! Mina and Mone have wild looks in their eyes, and they both grab each other by the hair! They stand up, Mone talks trash, and she fires a forearm! Mina laughs that off, then puts some stank on her FOREARM SHOT! Mina eggs Mone on, and the forearms fly! The fans boo Mone, cheer Mina, and repeat! The shots go faster and faster, Mone gets the edge, but Mina whips her away. Mina runs in, but Mone BOOTS her! Mone goes up, FLYING SUNSET FLIPS, but Mina rolls through! BASEMENT METEORA! Mone storms around but the fans boo.
Mone runs corner to corner, SUNSET BUCKLE BOMB! Shoutout to her Role Model, and then a METEORA in the corner! Cover, TWO!! Mina survives and Mone grows frustrated, and Toni seems concerned again. The fans duel more as Mone climbs up. METEORA AGAIN! NO, Mina rolls through, SMASHES the knee on the mat again and again, then hits a DRAGON SCREW! Mina has the legs, FIGURE FOUR!! Mone endures, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! A fingertip saves Mone, but Mina lets go to go up the corner! The fans rally again, but Mone stands. Mina leaps to FLYING SLINGBLADE! Cover, TWO!!
Mone survives and Mina grows frustrated, but Mina calls her shout! Mina drags Mone into the dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, but Mone slips free! Underhooks, Gory Especial, but Mina flips free!

Mina drags Mone up for another dragon sleeper, tries again, but Mone slips free! BACKSTABBER! But Mina’s right up?!? SHINING WIZARD!! Cover, ONE?!!? Mone shakes her head, but Mina runs up on her! Mone scoops Mina for CIPHER UTAKI!! Both women are down and the fans are thunderous! Luther fans Toni, she is still shvitzing despite her face being plain. Mone crawls to a cover, TWO! Mina survives but Mone snarls. Mone drags Mina up, Gory Especial, but Mina flips free again! Victory roll, leg lock, but Mone makes it a cradle!! MONE WINS!!
Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
The CEO snatches victory from the jaws of defeat and Mina can’t believe it! But then Mone DECKS Mina! NOW Toni does something, and she rushes into the ring! Mone runs away, but only for Toni to let her guard down! Mone CLOBBERS Toni from behind!! The fans boo as Mone goes to the cake she had waiting, licks some of the frosting, then she throws the champagne in Luther’s face! Ten days are all that remain, will Mone show that Toni’s time is up and that her time is now?
Matthew Jackson has a surprise for Nicholas Jackson.
Matt has his brother keep his eyes closed as they walk out into the parking lot. Matt says that since they’re in Ontario, California, and that’s a stone’s throw away from their hometown of Rancho Cucamonga, AND since it is episode 300 of Dynamite, this is a homecoming for them. Matt wanted to celebrate early, went on a shopping spree with the company card, and well… Look! Nick opens his eyes, and it is a stretch limo with their “Founding Fathers” design all over it! Well, in a way, Tony Khan bought this for them. But the outside is just the beginning. Check what’s inside! A tone of new Nike shoes! Nick loves having power and wealth.
Matt says this is how he sees things going: They go on a trip down memory lane, see some of their favorite childhood spots, and then enjoy themselves. The Bucks hop inside, the driver pulls out of the lot, and we begin the montage of The Bucks sharing Rancho Cucamonga with the world. First, Bear Gulch Elementary. Nick had his first kiss here. And the one time he told his teacher to “Suck it,” he got written up for it. They might be the only famous people to ever come out of this city. The reminiscing is set to continue, but will Matt & Nick be ready for their match alongside Konosuke Takeshita? Or will they be a little to high on themselves to care?
AEW returns and…
After the Bucks get some In N Out burgers ‘n’ fries, they stop by their childhood home. And immediately scratch themselves on the chain link fence. It always felt bigger when they were kids. But anyway, it’s more fun in the limo. The Bucks head out again, where will their next stop on “memory lane” be?
Men’s Casino Gauntlet Number Two Spot Fatal 4 Way: MJF VS Anthony Bowens VS Brody King VS AR Fox!
The Scumbag had to eat his words last week when Mark Briscoe won the number one spot in the All In Men’s Casino Gauntlet, but now he looks to get in right behind him. However, the Pride of Professional Wrestling says he has his five tools and one rule: Prove them wrong! Will Bowens get to scissoring and cut MJF in line? Or are they both overlooking the King of Death and the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and Ontario is pretty strongly behind “Brody! Brody! BRODY EFFIN’ KING!” MJF says hold on, hold on. MJF brings out stacks of cash to give to Brody so he and Brody can work together here. Brody throws MJF’s money down! MJF scrambles out of the ring, but Brody and the others pursue! MJF hurries back into the ring, the ref is cleaning up the strewn money, and MJF bails out the other side. MJF hides behind commentary, but also the Hurt Syndicate. The fans are torn between booing and chanting, “We Hurt~ People!” Brody DOUBLE LARIATS Fox and Bowens! Brody then drags Fox up to THROW him into railing!
Brody ROCKS Fox and sits him down in a chair. Bowens runs up, but he’s sent into railing, too! Brody then whips Bowens hard into the far side! Brody CHOPS Bowens and makes him sit! Brody runs and SPLASHES Fox against railing! The fans bark, MJF joins commentary long enough to say he works smarter, not harder, and he’ll let Brody destroy these guys for him. And then Brody SPLASHES Bowens against railing! The fans fire up as MJF says he doesn’t want no part of that. Brody puts Fox in the ring while MVP says MJF is cerebral, letting the big guy do the work so he can clean up the scraps.
Brody runs at Fox in a corner but Fox dodges! Fox BOOTS Brody, runs in and A-LIST LARIATS! Bowens runs up but Fox ELBOWS him away! Fox skins the cat to DROPKICK Brody and STUN- NO, Bowens shoves Fox away. Fox comes back, Bowens dodges, redirects, but Fox drops and swings, but Bowens hits a FLOATOVER DDT! SUPERKICK to Brody, then a FAMOUSER! The fans fire up for Bowens but MJF still claims he’ll slip in and take that “easy dub.” MJF then mockingly asks Excalibur if we’re gonna see tope conjilos and such. Fox puts Bowens on the apron, sweeps the legs, then runs to BLACK HOLE – Wait, the ropes aren’t cooperating.
Fox slingshots to DOUBLE STOMP Bowens all the same, then he jumps in and BOOTS Brody off the apron! Fox goes to the apron and springboards, IMPLODER SENTON! The fans are thunderous for Fox, and Shelton Benjamin gives a sarcastic thumbs up. MJF sarcastically says, “AR Fox taking flight!” Fox runs up on Bowens but Bowens hits a DRAPING DDT! Both men tumble to the floor, and Brody builds speed?! Brody DIVES and wipes them both out! MJF SMACKS Brody with a chair! The fans boo but MJF puts Bowens and Fox in the ring. Cover on Bowens, TWO! MJF is frustrated while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
MJF goes to Fox and covers, ONE!! MJF goes outside, fetches his chair, and SMACKS Brody again! MJF soaks up the heat, then JAMS Brody in the back!

Winner: MJF, by submission (guaranteed #2 entrant in the Casino Gauntlet)
MJF vows that the gauntlet will be his! He is coming for that golden ticket to the top! The Hurt Syndicate celebrates with their guy, but “Reach for the Sky!” Here comes Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as Briscoe shows off the new shirt: “MJF has a Tiny Kosher Pickle!” Briscoe congratulates MJF on winning this match, making him the #2 in the Casino Gauntlet. MJF says yeah, that’s right! Briscoe adds that the bad news is, Briscoe is the #1! That means MJF has ensured himself an uninterrupted ass whooping at least for a brief moment in time. The fans cheer that! They also chant “TINY PICKLE!” and MJF tells them to shut up!
Briscoe shrugs as he looks at his own shirt. Briscoe does want to make this clear, he is not addressing Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin or MVP when he says this. He is talking directly to the man who called him a “Blue Collar B*tch” on national TV. MJF says that’s cuz he is one! Briscoe says the “blue collar” is a badge of armor. But that “b*tch” comment is what has ensured that beatdown! The fans cheer that, too! But Briscoe wants MJF to know that he is always two steps ahead.
So here is a proposition: Next week on Dynamite, MJF has the Hurt Syndicate stay in the back while he gets in the ring with a microphone. Briscoe will then make his way out with a microphone so that they can have a little talky talk. The fans chant “TALKY TALK!” and MJF can’t believe it. Briscoe says if MJF has a pair of nuts next to that tiny pickle, he will accept! The fans cheer that, too! Will the Wolf of Wrestling play fair with the Sussex County Chicken?

Lashley drags Bailey back from the corner, Shelton kicks Bailey low, then DECKS him!
Lashley fires KNEE after KNEE into Knight’s ribs, and hits a FLATLINER! Shelton stands Bailey back up so he can scoop SLAM him down beside Knight! The fans are torn but MJF mockingly says he has $100 on Hurt Syndicate. That is definitely the safe bet, but Knight manages to rise up? Knight shouts at them and says they didn’t finish the job! They’re still standing! MJF asks if they’re outta their minds, and MVP says those two are just stupid. He sends Lashley & Shelton back in, the brawl is on again, but then Shelton and Lashley hoist JetSpeed up! STEREO POWERBOMBS!! MJF says now they’re cooked, they can leave.
The Hurt Syndicate regroups and leaves JetSpeed behind. But then Knight rises up again!? Knight says they won’t back down! He and Bailey stand again, so MVP says okay, third time’s the charm. The brawl goes off again, and Lashley RAMS Bailey into buckles! And RAMS him again and again and again! Shelton runs up to STEP-UP KICK Knight in the corner! Lashley drags Bailey back up, gut wrenches, and DOMINATOR!! MJF says stay down! JetSpeed sputters, Hurt Syndicate goes up the ramp, but now Knight gets a mic?! “Hey! Hey! We are still alive! Hurt Syndicate, you may know how to hurt people, but in order to keep those titles, you gotta learn how to kill us.”
MVP has Lashley stand down this time, but Knight tells Shelton that Mama Benjamin must’ve taught him how to fight, “cuz you hit like a b*tch!” Collision 100, Knight VS Shelton 1v1! MJF has Shelton stand down, and the Hurt Syndicate heads out. Will Knight & Bailey keep fighting until they’ve got the titles they want? Or will Collision 100 be their last?

Okada goes to a corner, Ibushi storms over to him, and Ibushi drags Okada up. Ibushi puts Okada up top, then climbs.
The fans rally as Ibushi goes to the very top, underhooks Okada, and SUPER DUPER TIGER DRIVERS!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Okada survives and no one can believe it! Ibushi has the wrists, he sits Okada up, but Okada Alabama Lifts again! Ibushi sunset flips, Okada sits on the cover, ONE as Ibushi finishes the sunset! TWO!! Okada narrowly escapes, but Ibushi wants the wrists! Okada flails and has the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Ibushi lets go at 4, but Okada LARIATS!! Okada drags Ibushi up, short arm- NO, Ibushi dodges, but the OKADA DROPKICK hits! Okada then ripcords, RAINMAKER!!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall
Their seventh singles showdown in history, and Okada is now 5-2! But that isn’t the end, as Don Callis and Rocky Romero get in and stomp away on Ibushi! The fans boo, Okada joins in, and then Archer wants them to get Ibushi up. Rocky stands Ibushi up for the Murderhawk Monster, but wait! OMEGA IS BACK!! Omega rushes out here, chair in hand, and he runs the Don Callis Family off! The fans are thunderous as The Cleaner is here, and he BLASTS Archer off the apron! But wait! TRENT is here, armed with a baton! Ibushi snatches the baton away! Omega kicks Trent low, reels him in, and we get a POWERBOMB GERMAN SUPLEX!!
The fans are thunderous for the Golden Lovers reunion! With ten days left, Omega is back and ready to fight! But will he be in fighting shape by July 12th? Or is he risking a lot more than just a title at All In?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite for episode 300, and it moved pretty well with a lot of focus on matches and not that many promos. Great opening promo from Hangman, and daring the Death Riders to anything was of course going to bring them all out to beat him up. But again, Opps stand in the way, I feel like there should be a way to put the AEW World Trios Championships on the line as the Opps haven’t been defending them. How wild would it be for Hook to join Death Riders since he feels replaced within The Opps? Hangman hitting Marina with the Buckshot was pretty wild, too, and I like that we’re making this a Texas Death Match now to really fit the importance of this match.
Awesome TBS Championship match, and Toni played her role in a very different way than I expected. But as close as Mina looked time and again, of course Mone retains. She gets the win on Mina, she gets the sneak attack on Toni, the momentum is with her, meaning Toni is likely to win at All In. I still hold out hope they at least make it for both AEW titles, but maybe that’s too much like Omega and Okada fighting to be a unified champion. But the thing is, Toni winning means she would be owed a shot at any of the titles Mone holds, outside of the Queen of Harts belt. It’d be fitting if it was the Rev-Pro belt when Forbidden Door: London is next on the schedule.
Awesome Fatal 4 to determine #2 in the Casino Gauntlet, but I figured MJF would win. Great promo from Briscoe to challenge MJF to a “talky talk.” And again, fans love Briscoe cuz they chanted that right away. JetSpeed going after Hurt Syndicate and pulling off something reminiscent of Dolph Ziggler getting beat down and still getting up. Also nice deep cut bringing up Shelton’s mama from that failed angle where “Mama Benjamin” was Shelton’s manager. Shelton VS Knight will be great, and impressing MVP through that match could be a way for JetSpeed to earn their tag title shot at All In.
The Young Bucks going around Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga was some fun stuff, and they did a good job playing up being so above their humble beginnings. Awesome Six Man Tag from them and Konosuke against Bandido & Paragon. Those trios combo moves were great, and the Heels win so that Konosuke has momentum going into next week’s Supercard of Honor. Hard to say Konosuke wins the ROH World Championship. I don’t wanna says he’s above it, but then what? We end up in a similar situation to Jericho where the world champ is barely on the show he represents? But Konosuke needs something if he wants to also go strong into a possible feud with Okada.
Ospreay & Swerve going after The Bucks was a great segue into the main event, and I like that we’re also raising the stakes on their match. EVP titles VS no title shot for 12 months, certainly interesting stories to be told either way. But given it’s an entire YEAR of no Ospreay or Swerve going after the world title, I’m leaning towards The Bucks giving up their EVP status. Then they go on a journey to relearn what it was that made them who they are, making their memory lane trip a bit of foreshadowing.
My Score: 9/10
