PLAY BY PLAY
Bryan Danielson is here!
Milwaukee fires up for the American Dragon’s return! Bryan has been out of action for a few weeks but he is still standing, and Tony Schiavone is in the ring to give him a formal introduction. And Schiavone also adds the big week for AEW! This Sunday, The Forbidden Door, and next Wednesday, BLOOD & GUTS! Schiavone says it’s great to have Bryan back for such a big week, and hands the mic over. Bryan says that he’s not giving it back. “This week is a great week to be an AEW fan. This week is a great week to be a professional wrestling fan!”
Fans cheer all that, and Bryan says again, Sunday is Forbidden Door, “an inter-promotional PPV with the two BEST pro-wrestling companies in the WORLD! You are going to see some excellent professional wrestling. And a week from today, on Dynamite, you get nearly the complete opposite with the bloody spectacle that is Blood & Guts!” Fans like the sound of that, and even chant, “Blood and Guts!” Bryan tells Milwaukee that he loves how they’re just excited for that violence as he is. And Bryan was expecting to be part of both those events. Chris Jericho had paid the self-proclaimed best technical wrestler in the world, Zack Sabre Jr., to challenge Bryan to a match.
ZSJ claims he was going to prove he is a better technical wrestler than Bryan Danielson. But Bryan was not only excited to prove that wasn’t true, but also to crush ZSJ’s throat. Bryan was excited to get into Blood & Guts to get revenge on Jericho and his “flaccid crew of cocksmen” for what they did at Double or Nothing. But unfortunately, Bryan has some good news and some bad news. Fans dread the bad news as Bryan begins. “Because of what Chris Jericho and Jake Hager did at Anarchy in the Arena, I am not cleared to compete, either at Forbidden Door or at Blood & Guts.”
But then Bryan has the good news! “Lest anybody be concerned about my overall health, you can tell that my mind is working at full, 100% capacity, I can jump into the ring, I can read 500 words a minute, I can run two miles and I won’t even break a sweat! So don’t worry about me coming back! I broke my neck, separated my shoulder, detached my retina, and there’s not a man in this world who can wrestle in this ring like I do right now!” Fans cheer that! “And that’s not even the good news! Here’s the good news! Eddie Kingston has gone on record to say that I’m a judgmental prick. Guess what? You’re damn right I am!
“And because I’m a judgmental prick, I have really, really high standards. So you know that when I promise you that something is going to be amazing, you know it’s going to be amazing. I have found… the one person I trust to take my place at Forbidden Door. The one person I trust to take my place at Blood & Guts. The one person I know in the entire world who will take it to ZSJ from a technical level, and then go and kick Chris Jericho’s head in at Blood & Guts! I have found that one person, and you are all going to be astounded by what he does in AEW!” But who is it? Who who who? Bryan points out he came out the “bad guy” tunnel, he’s not telling!
But do you know what? He won’t tell ZSJ either! So tune in this Sunday and you’ll see the greatest technical match of your lives! Fans are upset but Bryan wants to hear from them who is the best technical wrestler in the world! But wait! Zack Sabre Jr. is HERE! And the Submission Master eggs on Bryan “Dickhead” to give him something. Who is it that meets ZSJ in Chicago for the greatest technical showdown in wrestling? Will ZSJ be able to make him #JustTapOut?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Sometimes it’s business, and sometimes it’s personal. But in a week’s time at Blood & Guts, it will most definitely be personal, Jericho Appreciation Society. What an ego trip. They blinded my best friend with fireball, and put my partner on the shelf, and last week, they came after me. In Vegas, we found out those guys can fight, and next week, we find out of this guys can survive. Because they’ll be locked in there with dogs who don’t know how to do anything else. Santana & Ortiz survived the streets of New York City. Eddie Kingston survived grinding in this business for 17 years! Wheeler survived everything we could throw at him. And me? I’ve been around the block a time or two.
“God, I hate Chris Jericho. Men like that, driven by money, fame, ego. We’ll find out just how much they’re wiling to suffer, just how much they’re willing to endure next week, inside that bloody steel cage. But before that, this Sunday, there’s a little matter of, oh, maybe the biggest match in my entire life, for the AEW World Championship against maybe the greatest wrestler who ever lived in Hiroshi Tanahashi.” This means more to Moxley than Tanahashi can imagine. These last three years of transforming into a better man and a father, this Sunday, Moxley will transform into what he always knew he could be after stepping into the ring with The Ace.
Tonight, Moxley and Tanahashi handle business. Then Sunday, it’s personal. Once the bell rings, Moxley has no respect for anyone. Will the Maniac be able to handle business so that he can finally get back to the top?
Six Man Tag: Orange Cassidy & Roppongi Vice VS The United Empire!

Winners: Orange Cassidy & Roppongi Vice, by pinfall
Talk about chaos! A hectic finish sees Freshly Squeezed and friends standing tall! But wait, here comes the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, Great-O-Khan and Jeff Cobb! They help the Empire regroup, and then the five of them get on the apron. Fans chant for them, and so here comes FTR! Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler may be RPG Vice’s opponents this Sunday, but they aren’t going to let NJPW wrestlers just do what they want in AEW! Who will reign supreme in tag team wrestling when both IWGP Heavyweight and ROH World Tag Team Championships are on the line?
Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh speak.
Sonjay says he is so happy, he just ordered a bunch of new pencils. He is so happy because Satnam’s in-ring debut went amazingly! Big wins for Jay Lethal left and right, too, and that means it is time for a celebration! They’re going to India! But Lethal says the biggest celebration is yet to come. Lethal is going to become the NEW ROH World Television Champion, but that only happens if Samoa Joe can get back to work. How long has he been gone? Satnam says it’s been a month! Yes, that means Joe is almost out of time.
So as Lethal sees it, Joe has two options: tape up the shoulder and come back to work to defend his title; or he just vacates the title so it goes to its rightful owner, the longest reigning ROH World TV Champion, Jay Lethal! The clock is ticking, Joe! What will the Samoan Submission Specialist choose to do with his title?
Tony Schiavone is back in the ring.
Dynamite returns and Schiavone brings up how last week’s episode had a shocking end! This man has so much to answer for, it’s Captain Charisma, Christian Cage! Fans boo as the living legend makes his way out, having betrayed Jungle Boy after losing the AEW World Tag Team Championships, hitting both a Killswitch and a Con-Chair-To. Christian joins Schiavone in the ring, and Schiavone brings up the “chairshot heard around the world.” Christian was a mentor to Jurassic Express, so why did he do what he did? Fans boo, and Christian says that he could stand here all night until they shut up, it’s up to Milwaukee.
Fans keep booing but Christian says the people here aren’t very smart so he’ll give them another chance. It is rude to make him talk over them, so maybe some decorum. SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTHS! Christian answers the question by saying, “You didn’t think I was gonna let Jungle Boy eliminate me from the Casino Battle Royal last year and get away with it, now did you?” This is all because of that? That’s petty! Maybe, but here’s the thing: what’s more bothersome to Christian than losing a Casino Battle Royal was the reaction of each and every fan when it happened. “I am a legend in this business, and IÂ deserve more respect than to be cheered when I get eliminated from a battle royal, do you understand me?”
Fans boo more but Christian says JB also cost him a massive winning bonus that night, and the fast track to the world title. So yeah, it pissed him off. But it got Christian thinking. If fans liked JB so much, Christian should to a little background check on him. Fans tell Christian to STFU but Christian says that despite his better judgement, he went on social media and look into the kid. “Man, what a cesspool social media has become, especially considering the wrestling corner of social media.” There are losers just like these fans here, tweeting away like their opinions matter or that they know anything about this business. You know NOTHING about Christian’s business!
Christian doesn’t need anyone’s comments about who he should be wrestling, what title he should be going for, or who he should be aligned with. He is one of the best to ever step foot in this ring, so he knows better than us, thank you. It’d be like if Christian pulled up to the drive-thru and told one of you idiots how to do your job! Schiavone wants to move to another subject but Christian says he’s not done yet. And if Schiavone interrupts again, he’s pulling that earring out of Schiavone’s head! Christian says JB cost him a lot of money, so Christian had to recoup it.
So in his research, Christian found that JB is actually pretty talented, so he hitched his wagon to that train and ride it until it went dry. Christian thought it was going to go for a long time, and he was making some easy money just giving JB those pep talks, standing beside him and in his corner, doing minimal work while cashing in big fat checks! You think Christian came back to elevate the younger talent? You think he’s here to help the next generation? No, that’s BS! He’s here to make money! Others out here complain about their paychecks, this and that, well here’s some advice, and since the fans are all too poor, it’ll be free. And this is for anyone in AEW, too.
“You wanna earn my paycheck? Here’s the deal. Try having a match that people actually talk about more than a week after it happens. Can you do that? I’m talking the type of match that parents sit their kids down and make them watch it over and over again. The type of match that changes the industry. The type of match they name PPVs after. Do that, and then you can be on my pay grade. Until then, eat my crumbs and enjoy it!” As for JB, Christian said he was gonna recoup that money, and JB does have the talent. JB just doesn’t have the brains. JB just doesn’t have the killer instinct. And somewhere along the way, Christian saw it happening.
The final nail in the coffin is that the one time Christian doesn’t give JB some pre-match advice, the one time he doesn’t walk down to the ring with them, JB loses the tag team championships. The gravy train ran dry, so as the old saying goes, “If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself.” Christian is going to take control, get his hands dirty, and that pisses him off! Schiavone cuts Christian off here, because he wants to bring up what everyone was talking about on social media, and that is what Christian told JB’s mom and sister after the show. Christian went right up to them and said they raised JB as a POS!
Why would he do that to them?! Christian says he was just giving JB’s mom the chance to apologize for giving birth to JB, but instead she flipped Christian off. But here’s why she’s really mad: she saw her knight in shining armor go off into the sunset. She was a little sweet on Christian here, and wanted him to be JB’s new father. JB did look up to Christian like a father figure, but here’s the thing: Christian never wanted to be a father figure, JB has no father, because his father is dead. But that’s a good thing, because he’d be embarrassed to see how his son turned out! To see his son crumpled like a ball of paper at Christian’s feet, unable to get up and fight back!
Fans boo even harder as Christian tells JB, “Enjoy your early retirement at 25! Stay gone!” But wait! Here comes Luchasaurus! Christian says he’s been meaning to talk to Luchasaurus about this! Luchasaurus won’t listen to Christian, he just chokes him in the corner! Christian says that hurts, they need to talk but not in front of the people! Remember what happened to Marko! What?! Christian asks Luchasaurus let go, but bringing up Marko only angers him more! Christian then says Luchasaurus is like a son to him! Fans laugh at that but Luchasaurus actually lets him go. Christian says they need to talk but in private. Christian whispers something to Luchasaurus, and then hugs him?
Fans boo, but somehow, Christian has convinced Luchasaurus to show him mercy. They go to the back, just what has Captain Charisma got to say to Luchasaurus?
The Cutler Cam is live.
The Young Bucks and Kyle O’Reilly are impressed, Brandon’s finally doing his job right. But take a look at the AEW World Tag Team Championships. They’re back on the best tag team in the world! The Tag Division is number one again, and all is right with the world. The Bucks are back on top, as the first-ever TWO-TIME, TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions.

Matt asks Kyle how he’s feeling, and Kyle is pretty far from okay! Darby Allin takes out Fish, and then The Man Called Sting should be in jail for what he did to Kyle! That was completely unprovoked! If Kyle’s hands weren’t classified as lethal weapons, he’d sue Sting’s ass. But Forbidden Door, there’s Bullet Club’s Hikuleo, El Phantasmo, and oh yes, the greatest tag team of any generation, the Young Bucks, to take on Sting and all his cronies! Bucks back in the Bullet Club, one night only! They’re gonna Superkick the Forbidden Door down, because it’s SHOWTIME, folks! WOOOO~! CACAW~! Now cut it, Brandon!

Because I will walk through The Forbidden Door, dragging all the Bastards and the Pagans with me, and I will redeem them all!! So to Malakai, Pac and Ishii, this Sunday at Forbidden Door, when I send you to meet your maker, you tell that coward The Redeemer wants to talk.” Miro is ready, Pac is ready, and Malakai will have to be ready, because only ONE can hold the gold!
Wardlow speaks.
“I always get what I want. And if I don’t, I take it. And the only thing I want is the TNT title. I’ve been waiting three years for this opportunity. I don’t take orders anymore.

Cole is furious and has them shut the music off! “Boys and girls, who’s ready for Storytime with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Wait, JAY WHITE is here! Cole looks confused as to why The Switchblade is here, and White tells Cole, “First off, let me apologize for coming out here and interrupting Storytime with Adam Cole. But I feel like I owe you an explanation. Over the last week, I’ve been giving it a lot of thought, and as the Catalyst of Professional Wrestling, I’m responsible for all of this. That means I’m responsible for making Forbidden Door as big as it can be.
“And as much as I would love to make it about Bullet Club and the Undisputed Elite, and do a favor for a good friend… My opponent at Forbidden Door still can’t be you. Because, Adam, you lost to him.” Hangman shrugs because that’s true. And then White adds, “Twice.” Ow… White tells Hangman that he and Milwaukee and the world all are just dying to know who White will face at Forbidden Door for his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. White goes to the ring, and he can tell Hangman it won’t be him either. Hangman then slaps the mic out of White’s hand! White swings on Hangman but Hangman dodges to fire off haymakers!
Cole rushes the ring, Hangman DECKS him, then fires off on White! Hangman whips White but White reverses to send Hangman to the apron! But bad move, Hangman loads up! Cole LOW BLOWS Hangman!! Cole then pushes Hangman in and White fires off hands! Cole grabs the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, and he aims at White?! White lets off on Hangman, and sees Cole! Cole claims he wants to hit Hangman with the belt, and White believes him, so White drags Hangman up. But then, that coin drop! IT’S OKADA!! Milwaukee explodes as Kazuchika Okada, the Rainmaker, is here!
Okada rushes the ring, White and Cole stand their ground, and the fight is on! Fans lose their minds as Okada fights Cole and White, and then Hangman gets back up! Adam has Adam and Okada has White as they fire off in opposite corners! Then Okada and Hangman stare at each other. Cole comes in, Hangman DECKS him! White rushes in, Okada gets around, ripcord, but White avoids the Rainmaker lariat! White and Cole bail out, IWGP World title on White’s shoulder. Fans are thunderous for Okada, but what does all this mean for Forbidden Door and NJPW’s top title?
Backstage interview with Jade Cargill & The Baddies.
Tony Schiavone is with the undefeated TBS Champion, as well as Keira Hogan and Stokely Hathaway. Schiavone says there is an injury to Red Velvet, and Jade says we can either all sit here and cry about that, or we can understand that the show must go on. Jade is STILL undefeated, and Kiera says Kris Statlander’s “alien looking ass” must think this is real funny since Velvet isn’t here because of her. But the joke is on Kris. Stokely has breaking news, drum roll please! Tony, drum roll! Bddddddt… Stokely says they’re looking for a NEW Baddie! If you want in, all you gotta do is follow these instructions.
First: Use #BaddieSearch in a post. Second: In 140 characters or less, tell them why you should be a Baddie. Or you could keep it one hundy, haha! Not everyone can grace the stage like they can, and you have to be a top notch bitch. And third: “Please, mah sisters in Christ, keep the photos PG.” Schiavone thanks them for their time, but Jade tells him to cut the sh*t. Didn’t we just say to keep it PG? But who will rise above in the #BaddieSearch and stand alongside #ThatBitch?
Athena and Kris Statlander respond!
They’re with Schiavone now, and after what The Baddies just said, O M G, they want to be Baddies, too! They can be sExY~! “You, too, can get the opportunity to stand next to Jade and find out what she smells like~!” Or, they could have the opportunity to be a tOp nOtCh bItCh~! But in all seriousness, it is very unfortunate to hear about Red Velvet. And as sad as that is, Jade must be frontin’ if she thinks Athena & Statlander are backing down. Athena says, “It doesn’t matter if you get one Baddie, two Baddies, hell, twenty Baddies. We are going to thwart each and every one of those hussies that’s set forth in our path.”
Statlander adds, “Absolutely no one can get in our way. Stokely certainly learned that lesson last week.” Oh, y’mean when Statlander smacked him in the back of the head? BOP! Exactly. So they can do their #BaddieSearch, because they’ve got the babe with the power, Willow Nightingale! And Jade, cut the sh*t! Will the Baddies be in bad shape after this trio is through with them?
Toni Storm VS Marina Shafir w/ Nyla Rose!
The Lightning From Down Under has an AEW Women’s World Championship match with Thunder Rosa this Sunday, but there’s only one problem: The Problem stands in her way! Will Storm be able to strike down Shafir? Or will she be stumbling her way into the Forbidden Door?
It is of note that the Native Beast is in Shafir’s corner after the two bonded over brutally beating opponents together on Dark: Elevation. Will Shafir soon be a Vicious Vixen like Nyla and Vickie Guerrero?
The bell rings and the two approach. Shafir BOOTS Storm down and Storm gets to a corner. Shafir storms up on Storm but Storm boots her back. Shafir laughs it off and circles with Storm. They tie up, Shafir gets a leg but Storm stays up. Fans rally, Storm hits a half hatch takeover to a cover, ONE and Shafir gets a faceclock. Shafir mounts and gets an arm to roll Storm! Storm flails, reaches out, and gets the ROPEBREAK! Shafir lets off but stares Storm down. Storm kicks at Shafir, then stands up. Shafir is after a leg again, tries a throw, but Storm clamps on. Shafir powers through for the takedown!
Storm keeps her shoulders up but Shafir shifts to get a foot. Storm rolls, reels Shafir in and headlocks. Shafir powers out but Storm redirects herself and dropkicks Shafir down! Fans fire up and Shafir gets to a corner. Storm stomps and whips, but Shafir reverses to sweep the legs! Shafir stares Storm down, then things speed up. Storm follows Shafir but Shafir KICKS her down! Storm goes to the apron and Shafir kicks her to the floor! The ref keeps Shafir from pursuing, so Nyla drops a SENTON on Storm! Fans boo as the Native Beast gets away with that one, and Shafir fetches Storm as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Shafir brings Storm up and into the ring, and has her in a corner. Shafir walks into Storm’s kicks but she grabs the legs to kick away on them! Shafir digs her boots in at the ropes but lets off as the ref counts. Shafir paces, stalks Storm along the ropes, then brings her up for a cravat into the ropes! The ref reprimands, Shafir snapmares Storm and shifts to a chinlock. Storm endures, fights up, reaches out, but Shafir throws in knee after knee! Shafir then trips Storm and waistlocks to deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! Storm sits up in a daze but Shafir drags her into a half nelson and wristlock combo.
Storm endures, fights up again, throws body shots, but Shafir trips Storm again and hard! Nyla applauds and Shafir covers, TWO! Shafir smirks as she drags Storma round. Storm kicks her away, Shafir cartwheels back and gets the arms for a straitjacket stretch! Storm endures again as Shafir even fishhooks her face! The ref reprimands, Shafir keeps on the straitjacket, but Storm still endures. Storm powers up as Dynamite returns to single picture, and she kicks free! Storm throws forearms, but Shafir shoves her and eggs her on! Storm throws more forearms, Shafir throws them back! Shafir chicken wings Storm to HEADBUTT her in the back!
Shafir spins Storm around again but Storm breaks free to HEADBUTT Shafir down! Shafir staggers up, Storm runs, but into a BOOT! Storm bails out of the ring and Shafir watches her. Shafir goes out, KICKS Storm around, then bumps her off the apron. Storm staggers around the way but Shafir pursues. SAYANAGI! Shafir drags Storm up again, shoves her into steel steps, but Storm avoids the boot! Shafir hobbles, Storm uses the steps for a TORNADO DDT to the floor! Storm hurries to put Shafir in, and she fires off clubbing forearms! Shafir wants the sayanagi but Storm blocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans rally up as Storm fires up!
Storm runs at Shafir corner to corner, HIP ATTACK! Storm grabs at Shafir but so does Nyla. The ref reprimands and Nyla backs off. Storm gets Shafir up, but Shafir wrenches, pump handles, and lifts, only for Storm to slip out and roll Shafir up! With a bridge! STORM WINS!
Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall
Storm solves the Problem, but Nyla CLOBBERS her! Nyla stomps Storm and Shafir joins in! They mug Storm, but here comes THUNDER ROSA! The champion gets in, dodges Nyla and SHOTGUNS Shafir! Nyla is after Rosa, but Rosa elbows her away and Storm CHOP BLOCKS Nyla’s leg! Rosa tops it off with an ENZIGURI! Storm grabs the belt to CLOBBER Nyla with it! Fans fire up but Rosa noticed that. Storm looks at the belt, then looks at Rosa. Storm hands the belt back to Rosa, but will Storm take it for her own this Sunday?
Darby Allin and Sting speak.
The Relentless One calls out The Undisputed Elite, saying they saw what these two did to Bobby Fish. “Kyle, you say you’re not medically cleared. I don’t believe that for one second. I just think you’re too afraid to show up this Sunday for Forbidden Door. So what do we have here? The Young Bucks and two members of Bullet Club, El Phantasmo and Hikuleo VS me and Sting. You think we’re gonna come alone? Oh, no. We’ve got two members of our own. You wanna get crazy? We can get crazy. Shingo and Hiromu! And one by one, Undisputed Elite, we’re gonna take you guys out. And it continues this Sunday at Forbidden Door.”
The Icon says, “We’re gonna keep kicking bodies all the way down the freakin’ hill! Until there’s nobody left. Two down, three, four more to go, it doesn’t matter to us. At Forbidden Door, it’s gonna be showtime.” A star-studded 8 Man Tag has been set! Will the Bucks, ELP and the Young Gun be able to make Chicago Too Sweet? Or will Darby & Sting tranquilo with Los Ingobernables de Japon?
AEW has Rampage set!
The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, Hook, is ready to take on whoever NJPW’s LA Dojo sends, and they’re sending Dylan Barrales, aka The DKC! Then, before the Forbidden Door Winners Take All Tag Title match, FTR’s Cash Wheeler and The United Empire’s Jeff Cobb face off 1v1! Will Cash be able to survive the “Imperial Unit?” Or will he go on a Tour of the Islands in Milwaukee?
Plus, Serena Deeb & Mercedes Martinez have been teaming up on Dark and Elevation, and their team will make its television debut! And to settle some old scores, Andrade El Idolo takes on Rey Fenix in a match of lucha libre superstars! Speaking of which…
AEW hears from Rey Fenix, Alex Abrahantes and Andrade.
Fenix asks Alex if he remembers a couple weeks ago, when Andrade took away Fenix’s opportunity to be the Interim AEW World Champion. Yes, that dastardly low blow in the battle royal! But El Idolo can’t believe Fenix is still crying about that. Andrade has other things to do. He has a wife now! But Fenix tells Andrade that when he showed up, he wanted the Lucha Brothers to work for him, but y’know what? Death Triangle works for nobody! So one more time, 1v1, on Rampage! Andrade says he is tranquilo, but he’ll see Fenix this Friday. Who comes out the better man when these two throw down?
The Forbidden Door just keeps getting bigger!
First, for the Buy-In: The Acclaimed & Gunn Club have been running strong, and now Max Caster and all three Gunns, from Austin to Colten to “Daddy Ass” himself, Billy Gunn, team up against more of the LA Dojo’s finest! The DKC, Kevin Knight, Alex Coughlin and Yuya Uemura go on an excursion of sorts, will they return home as conquering heroes?
And then, after what we saw from Jay White, Adam Cole, Hangman Page and Kazuchika Okada, the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship won’t be defended against one but THREE opponents! It will be a Fatal 4 Way, White VS Cole VS Hangman VS Okada! Will the Switchblade Era survive such a challenge? Or will the Windy City bring about the winds of change?
Jon Moxley & Hiroshi Tanahashi VS Chris Jericho & Lance Archer w/ SamTay!
Before battling for the Interim AEW World Championship as opponents, one of the best in AEW and one of the best in NJPW team together to take on some common enemies! Will the Maniac and The Ace stand tall against the Wizard and the Murderhawk Monster? Or will Jericho having The Spanish God and Brazilian Goddess in his corner be a factor?
Dynamite returns and Archer makes his entrance. William Regal has joined commentary to watch this one in person. Tanahashi makes his entrance from the stage, followed by Moxley’s entrance from the crowd. Moxley flips off SamTay before he joins Tanahashi at the ramp. They talk game plan, and then they rush the ring! The brawl is on and fans fire up! Moxley throws hands with Jericho while Archer knees and CLUBS Tanahashi!

Moxley bumps Jericho off the apron, then whips him into the timekeeper’s table! Moxley CLAWS Jericho’s back, then bends him back with a crossface! Moxley tells Jericho this is just a sampler of Blood & Guts!
Moxley puts Jericho in the ring, but Archer gets in. The ref tells Archer to get out, but this is just so Sammy can grab at Moxley!

Security rushes out but now they’re part of the fight! And still the Ace and Maniac stare down! Is this chaos just a sampler of what’s going to happen inside the double steel cage that is Blood & Guts?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite, especially with it as a double go-home. And unlike WWE go-homes, they don’t shove in a bunch of recap packages, they just let a lot of the on-screen talent tell you what happened last week. Like with Christian’s promo to explain why he did what he did. It seems odd that he started helping Jungle Boy because of a grudge, but him basically riding JB’s coattails to get easy money does make sense. That jab about JB’s late father, Luke Perry, was major Heel heat, holy crap. And Christian managing to stop Luchasaurus from just choke slamming him to hell was surprising. But who knows, maybe Christian manipulates Luchasaurus into turning on JB.
Great opening promo tonight from Bryan Danielson, even though he did announce he’ll be out of action for some time. But I do like that they’re managing to use this to add a fourth man to Blackpool Combat Club who will face ZSJ, and apparently be the sixth man on the BCC side in Blood & Guts. And it has to be six, because Moxley names himself, Eddie, Santana, Ortiz and Yuta in the match. This could be anyone, and I will love seeing whoever it is taking on ZSJ and joining BCC in one fell swoop for a huge debut in AEW. Lethal, Sonjay & Singh have a good promo, and you know Samoa Joe’s response will be an ROH World TV Championship match, probably on TV.
The Six Man Tag match was great stuff, but Cassidy & Roppongi Vice winning surely means Ospreay retains the US Championship (that he doesn’t even have because Juice Robinson is holding the belt hostage) and RPG Vice is taking the pin so FTR or United Empire can win without the other being weakened. Then FTR and United Empire can do a more dedicated program for the Summer, perhaps having FTR even show up on New Japan Strong. Good promos from Bucks & Kyle as well as Darby & Sting to set up a really fun 8 Man Tag. I like that Shingo & Hiromu are joining Darby & Sting, and I have a feeling Sting’s team wins, Hikuleo surely taking the pin.
Wardlow has a good promo to keep up the hype for his TNT Championship match. Great AEW All-Atlantic Championship Qualifier from Malakai VS Penta, but I knew Malakai was going to win so that the Fatal 4 won’t have two parts of Death Triangle. And great promo from Miro to call out his opponents and pretty much solidify the fact that he is winning that title. Very good promos from The Baddies to let us know they’re adding a new member, and great response promo from Kris & Athena to poke fun at them, and at the WWE “be sexy for TV time” stuff Athena brought up in her shoot interview.
Them shifting from Anna Jay to Willow Nightingale in the Six Woman Tag is fine, plans clearly head to change after Velvet got hurt. I just hope this new Baddie is a new star getting some time, not a swerve like Anna turning Heel or Willow turning on Kris and Athena. Great match from Storm VS Shafir, that was way better than just the usual tune-up stuff before a big match. Also, Nyla and Shafir sticking together as a duo makes me wonder why Vickie Guerrero’s Vicious Vixens stable hasn’t grown yet. Vickie really should try to get more women on her team, especially since there’s two women’s titles now.
Good promos from Fenix and Andrade to set up a Rampage match, and that will be awesome stuff. Hangman VS Silas was great stuff for Silas to make an AEW debut with. But Hangman wins, and we get great surprises with White and Okada showing up. A great little brawl, and a tease of Cole turning on White, and a Fatal 4 Way for the IWGP World title is awesome! This could be a way for Okada to win the belt back without pinning White, or vice-versa, White retaining without pinning Okada. It also gives us all the combinations we expected, like White VS Cole, White VS Hangman, Okada VS Cole and Okada VS Hangman, all in one amazing match.
And of course, what a great main event tag match and ending segment. Moxley and Tanahashi didn’t need to do team moves, they just needed to work together, and just as I anticipated last week, they win so that they both have momentum going into Forbidden Door. And I love that they kept staring at each other, ignoring everything going on outside the ring. That brawl was a great way to send things off before the Six Man Tag at Forbidden Door and Blood & Guts next week, this is going to be an awesome week for AEW.
My Score: 8.9/10

Everything you’ve worked for for the last five years in AEW, I’m gonna give you a chance right now. Hey ref, you work for me, get your ass in the ring. We’re going to put the Trios Championships on the line again, right now! Ring the bell!” The fans boo but apparently Moxley has the power to do this. Can Uno, Reynolds & Silver turn the tides to take the power back?
AEW World Trios Championships: Blackpool Combat Club VS The Dark Order!
The bell rings, Silver stands, but Claudio UPERCUTS! Claudio fires fists on Silver, the ref counts but he also has to reprimands Marina for getting too close to Uno and Reynolds.

Yuta adds on CATTLE MUTILATION! The record books will say BCC won two matches in a row, but we all know how they pulled it off.

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but also Beast Mortos. They wanted to talk with him, but are mostly feeding him fried chicken… Roddy says, “BEEEAST! Thanks for joining us.” Bennett gives Mortos more meat to eat, and Roddy says they really need to talk. What is going on with Mortos? Something seems off. Mortos growls but Bennett says no, he’s just confused. Mortos taking out Hologram like that? Not cool. Taven can’t believe LFI got Mortos to wear a polo shirt! Mortos never even wore a shirt when hanging out with The Kingdom. Not cool! And what is Mortos doing fisting (with) two other dudes? Really not cool.
But the most disappointing thing of all, is that this is all happening without The Kingdom! Roddy says they’re not mad, just disappointed. The Kingdom leaves but did Mortos even care what they said while chowing down on meat? If they keep trying to get Mortos back, will LFI make The Kingdom one of their targets?
AEW Women’s World Championship Title Eliminator: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
While there were some legitimate complaints made by the AEW Women’s World Champion, she doesn’t really help herself when she looks down on the rest of the roster. Will The Glamour continue to grow her ego here tonight? Or will Anna prove she’s the real Star of the Show?

Winner: Anna Jay, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW Women’s World Champion)
Mariah is speechless! She thought Anna was unworthy, and yet that arrogance is why Anna won! And Tony Khan calls in to say we don’t have to wait long! Two weeks from now, Collision in Philadelphia, Mariah May VS Anna Jay, with the title on the line! Will Mariah avenge herself in the rematch? Or will there truly be a new Star of the Show?
My Thoughts:
A great Battle of the Belts, especially with the events of Collision spilling over. BCC beating down Top Flight, fighting Dark Order, and then having another match was all great stuff to really get heat on them. And speaking of the Collision crossover, great bit with Garcia & Private Party rushing out there, and then Cassidy eventually going out there once BCC was on the retreat. As we saw for Collision, the other Faces are expecting Cassidy to step up but he is reluctant to, given his history with the various members of BCC. At some point, The Conglomeration members might also think Cassidy should step up, and he’ll be compelled to fight.
Speaking of Conglomeration, great match from Okada VS O’Reilly, and I do appreciate them pushing this close to the time limit. Great win for Okada, and his card is wide open now, ready to face just about anyone. LFI had a very good promo to follow up what they did on Collision, but also to show Hologram is not out of the woods with them. Hologram might even be the third man alongside FTR to fight the full LFI. Mortos and Undisputed Kingdom also had a great promo together, very funny stuff. That’s also a Six Man Tag we could see, and just about any trio could come out of this to challenge BCC next.
Really good first showing for the #MurderMachines, Archer & Cage, but that combo Blackout Powerbomb needs some work to smooth out the wrinkles. I feel like they’ll be stepping to Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara for the ROH World Tag Team Championships first, given The Bucks are Heels. And great main event from Mariah VS Anna. I am very pleased to see they had Anna win here. It works for Mariah’s character as her arrogance cost her, and now we’ll get an even better title match in a couple weeks. I don’t see Anna winning that one, though, because again, we need to see Mina Shirakawa work her way to the title so she and Mariah can fight it out.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Regarding the AEW World Championship, nothing has changed. Nothing is different. Nothing changed last Saturday night, nothing has changed since the moment I arrived in AEW. Nobody ‘owns’ that belt, it doesn’t belong to anybody. It’s not for Bryan Danielson or anybody else. It’s for the position that only man has sat in that chair. That is me. Somebody spent a lot of money on that belt and it’s really supposed to mean something. It’s just gold and leather, but when I look at it, it is the symbol of everything I hate in this sport. It’s the symbol of everything I’ve been fighting against for years. Everything that AEW was not supposed to be.
“If nobody else is going to say it, I’ll say it. Nothing comes for free in this world. But tonight, we give this Top Flight a gift. A shot at the World Trios Championships, won’t that be so great? They think they’re gonna hit a button, ride up an elevator to the top of this sport, that’s not how this works. There is no elevator. You are standing at the foot of a mountain, and the mountain looks like this.” Moxley points to Pac, Claudio and Yuta in turn. “We will win this war, cuz our cause is just, and our power is pure, and our enemies are weak in spirit. It’s a big night for you, Top Flight, but it is not your coronation. Tonight is a public execution.”
The Maniac paces, and the warning has been issued. Will Action, Darius & Dante still go through with the match?
Ricochet VS AR Fox!
The One & Only wants everyone to understand that to be The Best in the World, you don’t say it, you show it! So then will Ricochet show everyone in AEW and around the world that he IS the best? Or will he just be a guest star on the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. Ricochet trips Fox, rolls him to whip him, but Fox reverses.

That match was definitely #OuttaThisWorld, and Ricochet comes out on top! Ricochet grabs a mic to say, “Stockton, what’s good?” Ricochet wants to say that he is here in AEW because this is where the BESTÂ WRESTLE! The fans cheer that! Ricochet says he has yet to be pinned or submitted in this ring. And that’s funny, because there’s someone who keeps putting their nose in his business. The fans should know who. Konosuke Takeshita, it doesn’t matter where you go. You may be champion, but you can go to Canada, Mexico, Japan, or somewhere in the US. Wherever Takeshita goes, Ricochet will be waiting to kick his ass!
Ricochet says it doesn’t matter who has his back, from Don Callis to Kyle Fletcher, because Ricochet will knock down opponent after opponent until he gets Takeshita 1v1 in this ring to become the NEW International Champion! The fans rally behind Ricochet, and Ricochet knows they know. They know that Ricochet isn’t from this planet, he is Outta This World! The fans fire up, but when and where will The One & Only take on The Alpha?
Daniel Garcia & Private Party speak.
Red Death says Moxley and his crew wanna come in and take over AEW. Then they’ve got The Young Bucks & Jack Perry just sitting back, letting it happen. They act like it’s all okay. It’s not. And the thing is, The Elite isn’t willing to handle the responsibility it takes to truly handle those championships. But good news! He and Private Party will relieve them of their duties. Garcia says Zay to talk to ’em. Kassidy says the word isn’t complicit, it is complacent. The Bucks have become complacent cowards! Private Party will not sit back and watch BCC take over AEW. AEW changed Kassidy’s life!
Zay would rather die fighting than watch AEW go down in flames. And if Private Party has to lead by example by beating The Elite’s asses and become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, then so be it! Marq Quen says there you have it. He can’t paint a better picture. And before they beat The Elite’s asses on Dynamite, there’s business to handle tonight. Stockton, the mission continues, let’s get it! Garcia, Quen & Zay are ready, but will the Premier Athletes stand in their way?
Kris Statlander VS Harley Cameron!
The Galaxy’s Greatest is now #BornAgainKristen, and she wants to return to what made her great in the first place. But will she keep her comeback going? Or will this wacky Aussie show one of her many talents is winning?
The bell rings, Kris and Harley circle, and then they step up. Harley calls for a knuckle lock, Kris accepts, and then Harley pokes Kris in the eyes! But Kris denies Sole Food!

Jake “The Snake” Roberts speaks.
“What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. When Jake Roberts tells you something, you know you can take it to heart. Trust me when It ell you, you cannot outrun the bull. Outrunners, you can run but you cannot hide. Rules and bones were meant to be broken. That’s the reason they made them. Trust me. We’re just here to tear the hell outta everything. That’s what you gotta think about when you step into the ring with us.” When you mess with the bull, you get the horns, so will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd be gored through by La Faccion Ingobernable?

Mark Briscoe is facing Chris Jericho in a Ladder War on Dynamite, and Kyle O’Reilly is facing Kazuchika Okada later tonight on Battle of the Belts.

He is the Shredded Savage, and these monsters are Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder! But hold up. What he sees in the ring is a member of The Conglomeration, a team featured on every show this company has. Meanwhile, Iron Savages must have been renamed The Melatonin Savages, because they keep getting slept on!

Jamie Hayter VS Brooke Havok!
An Open Challenge was put out last night on Rampage, though it was directed mostly at Mrs. Superbad, Penelope Ford. Surprise, surprise, Penelope chose not to answer it. Instead, Brooke is looking to wreak havoc in Stockton, will she bring down a former AEW Women’s World Champion? Or will she learn that Hayter Hits Hard?

It was probably over with that Haytbreaker on overdrive, but Hayter punctuates the victory. Wait, Penelope is on the tron. “Oh, hey, Jamie, are you really confused why I attacked you? I’ll tell you why. Because unlike you, most of us have to work for our opportunities. Do you even know who my partner was in my last TV match? You! And you wanna talk about backstabbing b*tches? Well you’re the backstabbing b*tch! I was out for two years, do you know what that does to someone’s mind? And not once did you even check in on me. Meanwhile, you were gone for a year and you come back to a damn parade at Wembley Stadium.”
Penelope says too many have forgotten who she is, especially Hayter. But Penelope is back, and she’ll make sure what two years of pain and anger really looks like. Penelope is here to take everting that Hayter cares about. And she won’t let anyone forget who Penelope Ford is again. Hayter says okay, fine! But will Hayter make sure Penelope regrets calling her out?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Private Party.
Lexy Nair is with the winning side tonight and says that was a phenomenal win. Say that again, say that again! What a PHENOMENAL win! Yes, that’s good! Wait, Cassidy steps in. Garcia says he’s been hoping to talk with him. Cassidy sees what it is like out there, yeah? It isn’t about being a hero, it isn’t about being tough guys. It is about holding each other accountable. They are coming to Cassidy because he’s been there before, he beat all these guys before, and it’s time to step up. Cassidy says yeah, he’s been there before. And every time he steps into the ring with one of those guys, it changes him.
Cassidy says he is no leader. He’s just not that guy. Freshly Squeezed heads out, Garcia is disappointed. But will things change when push comes to shove?

Sammy Guevara speaks.
“I’ve been here for the past five years. I take a lot of pride in being called an AEW Original. Because of this place, my life changed for the better. So the best way I know how to repay AEW is to make sure every single time I get in that ring, I give you a moment you’ve never seen before. For me, it’s always the same. But the way I get there needs to be different. The way I realize my destiny is by going against the best. And one of the best just had a hell of a debut on Dynamite. He’s a man I watched since I was a kid, so I went to Tony Khan personally and I asked for this match.
This Wednesday, for the first-time ever, live on Dynamite, it’ll be Sammy Guevara VS Shelton Benjamin! Get ready for another moment.” The Spanish God is on his way back, but will he be ready for the Standard of Excellence?

Darius runs up to fire hands on Claudio! Claudio TOSSES Darius out, and Yuta BUSAIKU KNEES! Dante SUPERKICKS Claudio out! Dante goes up and up, but Pac SHOVES him down! Dante hits apron, but Claudio hauls him up to THRWO into steel steps! The ref reprimands The BCC but Pac CLOBBERS Action! Yuta UPPERCUTS, Claudio UPPERCUTS, Pac UPPERCUTS, repeat! They again and again, UPPERCUT after UPPERCUT! Feed to Pac for a TOMBSTONE! Cover, BCC wins!
Winners: The Blackpool Combat Club, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)
Top Flight just got grounded after BCC railroaded them there! But now they keep on the beating! The fans boo but here comes Moxley! The Maniac himself is here, accompanied by Marina Shafir. They join their team in the ring as the beating continues. Moxley whispers to Pac, and Pac drags Action up. Moxley looks Action in the eyes, and then DECKS him! Claudio continues to hammer away on Darius, but here comes Lio Rush! He gets mugged, but Leila Grey asks they stop. Marina ROUNDHOUSES Leila! Marina TOSSES Leila up, and Collision ends with more mayhem! Who will ever stop the reign of terror that Moxley has started?
My Thoughts:
A really good Collision, with the only real filler being The House of Black winning their squash match. Great match from Ricochet VS Fox with a great win from Ricochet, and a pretty good promo for him to call out Takeshita. If they want to sell what he said, Ricochet should go to the same other promotions Takeshita visits. Like if Takeshita goes back home to Japan and DDT Pro, have Ricochet go after him after a match. And as far as having a match, this should culminate at Full Gear to really stretch out Takeshita trying to avoid Ricochet until he just can’t. Kyle VS Atlantis was also a great match, and great win for Kyle. Kyle saying he’ll tell all on Wednesday is of course going to set up Kyle VS Ospreay, perhaps also for Full Gear.
Very good match from Kris VS Harley, which Kris of course wins. Kris calling out Kamille is great, and a little annoyed they’re making us wait for Fright Night when Kris VS Kamille could just happen next week to give us Kris VS Mone at Fright Night instead. But whatever, this is the usual Tony Khan Women’s Division pacing, because surely Kris VS Mone is what he wants for Full Gear. That does make sense, because for one, Mone as a character would want the big money moment on a PPV, not on TV. And regardless of where/when it happens, it is hard to say that even Face Statlander beats Mone for the TBS Championship.
Harley also had a good moment with Thunder Rosa. Rosa knocking Harley on her ass was great, and Rosa VS Harley will be fun stuff. It can definitely help Rosa get back up and into title conversations, and she should be going for Mone and the TBS title because chasing that history of “first woman to hold both AEW belts” is some good stuff. Meanwhile, Hayter demolished Havok, and she’ll have really good stuff with Penelope Ford, and on a personal level, I do feel for Penelope missing two YEARS of action. Penelope probably wins a match from cheating, but then loses to Hayter in the rematch so that Hayter can go back for a championship.
Great match from LFI VS Outrunners, but the cheating spots LFI pulled off were a bit clunky. LFI of course wins to spark more interaction with FTR, and LFI VS FTR will be great stuff whenever they do it. And then great stuff in this larger story of “Who runs AEW?” Garcia & Private Party had a great promo to call out The Elite, they had a really good match with The Premier Athletes and therefore a really good win over them. Cassidy squashing Bronson while also knocking down Jameson was good stuff. Then Garcia asking Cassidy to take a stand against BCC was good stuff. Cassidy has good reason for wanting to avoid BCC, but Cassidy’s role in this story is now making that random promo with Jerry Lynn work out.
And then speaking of the BCC, very good promo from Moxley to open, and great main event with Top Flight. BCC of course won, but the beatdown that bleeds over into Battle of the Belts is actually pretty good stuff. BCC are just agents of violence and chaos, and they booked the third hour, so might as well segue from one show right into the next.
My Score: 8.8/10
