AEW TNT Championship: Wardlow VS Orange Cassidy w/ Best Friends!
This is the first defense of Mayhem Era, and you can bet Wardlow will not take this lightly! Will Wardlow’s freshly minted red ‘n’ black belt stay with him? Or will this title end up Freshly Squeezed for Fyter Fest?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and tonight, this is war!
Fans rally for “WARD~LOW!” Cassidy “pumps” himself up and flexes, and calls for a test of strength. Wardlow obliges, but then Cassidy puts up both hands, to put them in his pockets! Wardlow grabs Cassidy by his arms, and carefully brings the hands out. The pockets end up turned inside-out, and Wardlow RIPS them away! Cassidy stares at Wardlow as he brings the straps down and flexes back. They step to each other, and Cassidy puts Wardlow’s straps back up for him! Fans cheer as Cassidy flexes again. Wardlow nods and swings but Cassidy dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Wardlow powers out! Wardlow kicks low and he reels Cassidy in!
Cassidy slips out, rolls back, but Wardlow dodges. Cassidy runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirls, but Wardlow cartwheels through!? Fans fire up and Cassidy is shocked! Cassidy says his eye is bothering him and wait, Trent goes after a buckle pad! The Best Friends are trying to help Cassidy by any means necessary, but this is rather obvious. Oh, because this is really a distraction for Chuck to bring out a CHAINSAW! But then the ref sees that, too! The ref takes the saw away, and tells Chuck and Trent they’re EJECTED! So much for their plan. ORANGE PU- NO, Wardlow blocks it! Cassidy fires off the shin kicks, but they do nothing! Well, actually, that’s normal.
Wardlow backs Cassidy down to the ropes, but the ref has him back off. SWEET SHIN MUSIC! Wardlow is just annoyed, and he rushes at Cassidy, only to be dumped out! Cassidy builds speed and DIVES, into Wardlow’s arms! POP-UP, but Cassidy slips off! Cassidy shoves Wardlow but he blocks hitting the post! Cassidy eggs Wardlow on and leads him around the way, to the ramp side. Fans sing, “Wardlow’s gonna kill~ you!” as Cassidy continues to egg him on. But Wardlow senses something, and he checks under the ring. He found DANHAUSEN! Very nice, very evil, but apparently very obvious to Wardlow.
Cassidy hurries around the way as Danhausen builds up power. But then Danhausen thinks it’s better to not curse Wardlow, and just pats him on the shoulder. But then ORANGE PUNCH!! Wardlow staggers around, gets in the ring, but Cassidy hurries in to ORANGE- NOPE! OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Cassidy flounders out of the ring while Wardlow checks his chin, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Cassidy sits up and clutches his back while Wardlow paces. Wardlow makes sure his jaw is working, and then waits on Cassidy. The ring count climbs but Cassidy gets in at about 7 of 10. Only for Wardlow to hoist him up for another OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Cassidy flops out the other side but Wardlow pursues. Wardlow drags Cassidy up, puts him in, but Cassidy bails out the far side again. Cassidy catches his breath but Wardlow storms up that way. Wardlow brings Cassidy up, to trophy lift and TOSS into the ring! Wardlow then jumps up to the apron like a Beast and get in after Cassidy. Wardlow hauls Cassidy up, suplexes him up, and holds him up!
Fans rally as Wardlow SLAMS Cassidy down at 10! Cover, TWO! Wardlow is fine with that, he just drags Cassidy back up to whip into the corner hard! Cassidy bounces off the buckles and crawls back into the corner. Wardlow storms up on Cassidy again, hauls him up and Dynamite returns to single picture as Wardlow whips Cassidy corner to corner the other way. Cassidy goes up and out, Wardlow runs in but Cassidy ducks to bump Wardlow off the buckles again and again, a total of 10 times! Fans fire up, Cassidy climbs, and Cassidy leaps, CROSSBODY into Wardlow’s arms! Wardlow pops Cassidy up but Cassidy slips out to CHOP BLOCK!
Cassidy CHOP BLOCKS again and Wardlow hobbles! Cassidy RAMS him into buckles, then RAMS him into the other corner! Wardlow staggers, into an Alabama Lift! Wardlow’s too much, and he gets Cassidy up! Cassidy holds onto a leg to deny the bomb so Wardlow CLUBS Cassidy! Wardlow gets Cassidy up, but Cassidy DDTs! Cassidy runs, tilt-o-whirls, and DDTs! Cover, ONE!! Cassidy is surprised Wardlow is getting up, but he runs in and ORANEG- NO, Wardlow ducks the punch to fireman’s carry! F10!! Cover, TWO!! Wardlow is shocked that Cassidy survives! Fans rally up, and Wardlow says it’s time!
Wardlow drags Cassidy up, reels him in, POWER- No, Cassidy fights with fast hands! Cassidy tries to rana but Wardlow holds on! Cassidy CLUBS at Wardlow’s hands but Wardlow uses one arm to POWER- NO, RANA! Cassidy sends Wardlow out and then DIVES to send him into railing! Cassidy POSTS Wardlow, then POSTS him again! Cassidy puts Wardlow in as fans fire up! Cassidy climbs up to DEEP- NO, no flying DDT, Wardlow powers him to a suplex, STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE! Wardlow wobbles, into an ORANGE PUNCH! Wardlow’s still up, Cassidy Alabama Lifts, BEACH BREAK! Cover, TWO!!!
Fans are thunderous as Cassidy grits his teeth and takes off the armband! Wardlow slowly rises, Cassidy takes aim, ORANGE- POWERBOMB!! High stack, Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Cassidy got serious, but it wasn’t enough against the always serious Wardlow! Best Friends return as Wardlow drags Cassidy up, but it’s because Cassidy won Wardlow’s respect. They fist bump and move on, who is next on the warpath for Wardlow?
Chris Jericho is here!
The Wizard is heading to the ring ahead of next week’s Barbed Wire Everywhere Death Match with Eddie Kingston to speak about that very match. Jericho gets the mic to say, “I stand out here in front of you tonight not as Chris Jericho the sports entertainer, or Chris Jericho the Wizard, or Chris Jericho the rock star. I stand in front of you as Chris Jericho the living legend, and Chris Jericho, Eddie Kingston’s superior!” Jericho wants to address what Eddie’s been saying. Firstly, Jericho did not make Eddie a liar, because Eddie is not a liar, Jericho promises him that. But Eddie is confused, and here is why.
Eddie challenged Jericho to a Barbed Wire Everywhere match, the first one ever, and Eddie would do it so that every drop of blood Jericho sheds would be for his friends. Oh, really? Friends? With friends like his, huh? Everything Eddie does when it comes to friendship turns to mold. “Being friends with Eddie Kingston is a worse curse than anything Danhausen could ever conjure up, and let’s go through the list.” Fans boo but Jericho tells them to shut up. Jericho starts with Ortiz, Eddie’s friend: Jericho shaved his head and took his dignity. Santana, Eddie’s friend: the JAS took him out at Blood & Guts.
Bryan Danielson, a mere acquaintance, and Jericho took him out at Anarchy in the Arena. JERICHO did that! We don’t know when Bryan’s coming back! Then there’s Ruby Soho. “Eddie’s Ruby.” What did that get her? A mangled hand and a crushed career. And the reason why that is, you stupid SOB, is because she’s your Ruby, Eddie! You should’ve taken better care of her, but now look what happens. But Eddie challenged Jericho to the Barbed Wire Everywhere match, but why? Because Eddie’s a mark for Terry Funk and Onita and Sabu. But how many of those has Eddie had? And how many has he won?
Because Jericho won the very first Barbed Wire match in Canadian history at the tender age of 22! Jericho tasted the “sweet sting” of barbed wire’s bite, and even though it was unbearable, deep down inside, Jericho felt pleasure. Jericho is just as sadistic and maniacal as Eddie, but Eddie underestimates that! Eddie underestimates Jericho because of all Jericho’s great accomplishments in this business, and his movie star good looks. Jericho says next week, Eddie won’t be able to do that, because he’s not facing Chris Jericho, he’s facing THE PAINMAKER! The undefeated persona in AEW, and that’s no lie, because just like Eddie Kingston, Jericho is not a liar.
So why is Jericho accepting this match? Here’s why: THIS IS IT! This is the final fight between them! And what a saga. But once Jericho wins, Eddie can crawl back into his little hole and continue drinking and drugging and being depressed and having problems and every other excuse he has, to cover up deep down that Eddie knows he’ll never be on Jericho’s level! If Eddie wants blood, then he’s got it. Because once again, as Eddie said, every drop of blood for Jericho is one of his sins. But the only thing that can wash away that is a tidal wave of Eddie’s own blood so much that Noah, the Ark and all the animals would be jealous!
If Eddie wants blood, he’s got it! Because Eddie isn’t a liar, he’s just a loser! Jericho has issued his ultimatum, will The Painmaker crush the Mad King once and for all?
Eddie Kingston and friends respond.
The mad King says yeah yeah, he sees the difference. Jericho gets five minutes and Eddie gets this. But Eddie still tells Jericho, “Bring your Painmaker. Please! Bring the most violent person you can bring, because it’s not gonna matter. Look what you did to Ruby.” Ruby Soho shows off her arm in the cast, and Eddie has Ortiz show his shaved head. Eddie says Jericho will pay with every ounce of his blood! Eddie is going to hurt him and enjoy it! And see you at Barbed Wire Everywhere! Yeah, that’s his out line. But will Eddie’s actions speak volumes next week?
Interim AEW World Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Konosuke Takeshita!
The Maniac defeated The Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi, to have this belt, and he defeated the House of Black’s behemoth, Brody King, to keep it. But now, the Future of DDT is getting his own opportunity! Konosuke has proven himself worthy of being the future, but is the future now? Or is it still too early for Konosuke to beat Jeeeeeeeeeooooon MOXLEY~?
William Regal is on commentary, and he already loves the idea of these two warriors fighting their hearts out. The bell rings and Konosuke and Moxley stare down. Fans rally, the two slowly circle, and Moxley calls for a test of strength. Konosuke obliges, they knuckle lock, but then back off. They tie up collar ‘n’ elbow, Moxley wrenches and hammerlocks, but Konosuke reaches back to headlock. Konosuke grinds but Moxley slips out the back to put the headlock on Konosuke. Konosuke powers out, they RAM shoulders, but Konosuke runs to RAM Moxley again. Moxley RAMS Konosuke and Konosuke RAMS Moxley, again and again!
Moxley SLAPS then CHOPS Konosuke! Headlock takeover and Moxley has Konosuke on the mat. Konosuke fights up, powers up and powers out, and things speed up for Konosuke to CALF KICK Moxley down! Moxley gets up, Konosuke CHOPS him! Moxley snarls and he CHOPS back! Konosuke CHOPS and he waits on Moxley. Moxley CHOPS, Konosuke CHOPS, fans “WOO~” with every shot. Konosuke ROCKS Moxley, runs, dodges one but Moxley LARIATS Konosuke on the return! Fans fire up and Moxley paces around Konosuke. Moxley drags Konosuke up, for a PILEDRIVER! Cover, TWO! Konosuke’s still in this so Moxley ties up the legs.
Moxley gets a chinlock, it’s a modified Queen Angelito! Fans rally, Konosuke endures and reaches out for the ROPEBREAK! Moxley lets off but drags Konosuke to the apron. Fans rally, Moxley reels Konosuke in but Konosuke hooks the ropes. Moxley CLUBS Konosuke, but Konosuke fights out to throw a forearm! Moxley throws it back, they brawl on the edge! Fans fire up. Konosuke blocks a boot to spin Moxley around! APRON GERMAN SUPLEX! Moxley did his best to shield that but still flops to the floor. Konosuke runs in but Moxley dodges! Konosuke keeps from hitting steel steps, and the brawl is back on!
Konosuke knees low, puts Moxley in, and gets on the apron, but Moxley BOOTS him to the floor! Fans fire up and Moxley soaks it up as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Moxley paces around while a ring count starts. Konosuke stands up at 5 of 10 but Moxley goes out to fetch him. Konosuke is bleeding from that boot to his head, so Moxley punches him right on the forehead! Moxley sits Konosuke down by the railing to punch the wound, dig at it, and BITE at it! Moxley is tasting blood and he puts Konosuke in the ring. Moxley drags Konosuke up, CHOPS him, and then hoists him to the top rope. Moxley climbs up after Konosuke to BITE his forehead again! Moxley digs his elbow into the forehead, then he brings Konosuke up for a SUPERPLEX! Cover, TWO!
Moxley keeps Konosuke down with knuckle locks, and gives him DRAGON STOMPS a la Danielson! Cover, TWO! Moxley keeps his cool and he paces around Konosuke like a shark. Moxley puts Konosuke on the ropes to BEND him back! The ref counts, Moxley lets off at 4, but Konosuke ROCKS Moxley with a forearm! Moxley eggs him on and the forearms keep flying, Dynamite returns to single picture as Moxley shoots around to HALF ‘N’ HALF! Konosuke is dazed behind his crimson mask as Moxley paces again. Moxley gets Konosuke’s legs, drags him back and STOMPS his stomach to then stand on the forehead!
Moxley stomps Konosuke’s bloody face and fans fire up. Moxley drags Konosuke up but Konosuke fires off boxing elbows! Konosuke ROCKS, whips but Moxley reverses, only or Konosuke to duck ‘n’ dodge and LEAPING LARIAT! Fans fire up and Konosuke has a wild look in his eyes! Konosuke fires forearms to back Moxley down to a corner, then he whips corner to corner. Konosuke roars, runs and BOOTS Moxley in the corner! Konosuke goes corner to corner but Moxley follows to clothesline! Moxley brings Konosuke out, suplex, but Konosuke slips out! Moxley fights the waistlock but Konosuke hits a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!!
Konosuke snarls and goes to a corner! Konosuke climbs, fans fire up, and Konosuke FROG SPLASHES onto knees! Cover, TWO!! Moxley clamps onto Konosuke with a SLEEPER! Body scissors, then ARMBAR! Konosuke fights that but Moxley breaks the grip! Konosuke kicks and flails around while he endures, and he rolls to get the ROPEBREAK! Moxley lets go and fans are thunderous! “This is Awesome!” as Moxley eggs Konosuke on. Konosuke stands and Moxley SLAPS him! Konosuke fires a forearm, then another, and another! Moxley runs, into a RANA! Moxley bails out and Konosuke builds speed to FLY! Direct hit at the ramp!
Fans lose their minds as Konosuke drags Moxley up and in. Konosuke goes up, FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Moxley survives and Konosuke can’t believe it! Moxley and Konosuke throw forearms, fans hope they “FIGHT FOREVER!” This has to end somehow, and Mox is firing boxing elbows. Konosuke ROCKS Moxley again, but DOUBLE LARIATS collide! Both men stay up, so they go again, DOUBLE LARIATS! They’re still up, Moxley shoots around to get the SLEEPER, but Konosuke makes it a BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Konosuke has a cover by just his foot! TWO!!! Moxley is up but Konosuke hurries after him.
Konosuke whips, Moxley blocks the knee, PARADIGM SHIFT OUTTA NOWHERE! And then HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Konosuke is all but out, so Moxley hits a DEATH- NO, Konosuke flips through to ROCK Moxley again! HIGH ANGLE GERMAN! Bridging cover, TWO!?!? Moxley barely tilts over to avoid that loss! But Konosuke keeps hold, tries for a wristlock but Moxley fights. Konosuke adds another wristlock to have a straitjacket, but Moxley reverse headbutts! Moxley slips out to HEADBUTT from the front! And again, and again, and DEATH RIDER!! MORE HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL! BULLY CHOKE!! Konosuke taps, Moxley wins!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (DENIES Konosuke Takeshita a title match)
The Best in the World better have been watching this, because the Maniac is holding it down! Will Moxley stay undefeated as interim champion to one day meet CM Punk in an UNDISPUTED AEW World Championship match?
The House of Black speaks.
Julia Hart says, “You’re free to make whatever choice you want. But you’re not free from the consequences of that choice.” Malakai Black says, “Take venom, Darby, when you oppose The House. Once it’s slowly trickling through your system, you’re left with the agony of it.” Brody King says he didn’t need Darby’s praise at the end of last week’s Dynamite, and he didn’t need to be told what he had earned. And we see footage of Brody King attacking Darby at a meet ‘n’ greet with fans! Brody doesn’t need to be told anything from Darby. “For years, I watched you ascend. But now, I’m getting mine by taking yours.” Will the Relentless One be put down by the House?
Christian Cage and Luchasaurus are here!
Captain Charisma has the mic already as he leads the way for his own personal Godzilla. Christian says to Luchasaurus’ opponents waiting in the ring, “Now, I don’t know either of you from Adam, but there’s something I find extremely annoying about you two, The Varsity Blonds. Now, Pillman, it’s not even that stupid mullet you’re walking around with, although you’d fit in quite nicely with those here in Georgia. Here’s the thing, Pillman, just like Jungle Boy, you had a father. But your father was a legend in this business. ‘Legend’ are other people’s words, not mine. Brian Pillman, your father was average at best.”
Brian Pillman Sr. wasn’t a multi-time world champion like Christian! That being said, Christian still respects that Pillman Sr. spilt blood, sweat and tears in the middle of the ring. And Christian is sure he wouldn’t mind Christian saying that Pillman Sr. would be appalled at how his final contribution to this business was Pillman Junior! Griff Garrison keeps BPJ from rushing out at Christian, but then Christian points out that Griff went on social media this week, and posted this picture. It was just himself? Christian wasn’t sure what he hated about this at first, but the hair, the look, the physique, the athleticism, the aura, Christian couldn’t see it at first.
But then it hit Christian like a ton of bricks. Doesn’t he look like Jungle Boy? Luchasaurus storms to the ring, is Christian going to have Luchasaurus use the Ivy League MVP as a proxy for JB?
Luchasaurus w/ Christian Cage VS Griff Garrison w/ Brian Pillman Jr!
The bell rings and Luchasaurus corners Griff. Griff slips away to fire a forearm but Luchasaurus grabs Griff with both hands to TOSS and SPLASH! Luchasaurus hauls Griff up, pops him around and GERMAN SUPLEXES him away! Griff bails out, Luchasaurus pursues while BPJ rallies the fans. Griff tries to hit back but Luchasaurus CHOPS him on the back! Griff falls over but Luchasaurus drags him back up to dig into the post! Christian says to do it, and Luchasaurus BOOTS Griff into the post! Luchasaurus puts Griff in, storms up on him, and he drags Griff up into a choke grip! CHOKE SLAM!!
Christian says that’s not enough, do it again! Luchasaurus obeys, CHOKE SLAM!! And then, TARPIT STRETCH!! Griff taps, Luchasaurus wins!
Winner: Luchasaurus, by submission
But this still isn’t enough for Christian, he has Luchasaurus TOSS Griff out! Luchasaurus clears the table in the timekeeper’s area! BPJ rushes over and stares Luchasaurus down, but then Christian storms up. BPJ stares at Christian, but Luchasaurus HEADBUTTS him down! Luchasaurus drags BPJ up and puts him on the table, to then drag Griff over and CHOKE SLAM Griff onto BPJ! The table doesn’t break, either, so Luchasaurus CHOKE SLAMS Griff again! The table breaks, and the Varsity Blonds might’ve just been broken with it! Will nothing stop this monster and his master from laying waste to the roster?
Backstage interview with the Jericho Appreciation Society.
Tony Schiavone is with Daniel Garcia, Matthew Menard and Angelo Parker as he says next week, Dynamite: Fyter Fest part 2, Shark Week presents the Barbed Wire Everywhere match, with the JAS in a shark cage! Wow, a shark cage, huh? Are we really talking about shark cages? Menard says the JAS has had just about enough with cages! Parker says they have questions, too. How high is this cage going to be up in the air? Schiavone doesn’t know. Menard wants to know about if Eddie’s buddies, Claudio, Ortiz and them. Are they going to be free to walk around all “willy nilly?” NO WAY! Put them in a cage, too!
Parker wants to get answers, and he brings out his switchblade! Take it easy, it’s just a comb. Menard & Parker storm off, and Garcia gets why he’s being put in that cage. He’s nasty, violent and dangerous, something Wheeler Yuta wants to be. But Garcia says Yuta is just cosplaying, he’s not tricking nobody. So if Yuta wants to take Garcia’s identity from him, Garcia will take that ROH Pure Championship from Yuta. Will the JAS behave while in the cage? And will Death Before Dishonor on July 23rd be the death of The Decoder’s reign?

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Schiavone is with the former world champion, who just got off his phone. The Cowboy had a great showing in last week’s Royal Rampage match, but he was eliminated by the eventual winner, Brody King. Hangman says he’s a little disappointed, but- Wait, John Silver & Alex Reynolds run in and say if Hangman’s disappointed, imagine how bad they feel! They’re FUMING! Look at Number 3! Smoke coming out of his ears and everything. But now, they want to issue a challenge to the House of Black! They will beat down “those spooky perverts.” They’ll bring the fight on behalf of Hangman! With their fists!
Hangman says he appreciates that, and says they can have at it. Oh yeah, they will! They’ll have all the attitude they want! BELEE DAT! Uh, okay, sure. Will Rampage get Dark Order?
Jim Ross joins Dynamite for the second hour!
Good ol’ JR is here for Fyter Fest, because these next few matches are going to be slobber knockers!
Claudio Castagnoli VS Jake Hager!
Once upon a time, the Swiss Cyborg and the Rock Hard Sooner were a formidable force together. But now, these forces are set to collide to prove who was always the better half! Will it be the BCC or the JAS with another point up in this ongoing feud?
The bell rings and Claudio BLASTS Hager with a EuroUpper! And then Claudio reels Hager in, but Hager back drops before the Gotch hold! But Claudio sunset flips through it, to then get the legs! Hager scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! Claudio lets go, Hager gets up and Claudio BOOTS him down! Fans who remember chant, “WE THE PEOPLE!” Claudio is amused, and he goes out after Hager, but Hager dodges to CLOBBER Claudio! Fans boo while Hager roars, and Hager drags Claudio up and into the ring. Fans rally, Claudio is in a drop zone, so Hager runs in and goes up, HAGER BOMB but Claudio gets his knees up! Only for Hager to block that counter!

Claudio fires more EuroUppers, and body shots, but Hager turns things around for more point-blank clotheslines! Hager runs side to side to CLOBBER Claudio again, then goes the other way, only to miss! Claudio EuroUppers, runs, and EuroUppers again!
Regal is loving this on commentary again as Claudio dropkicks the legs out, and BASEMENT BULLDOGS! Cover, TWO! Claudio goes to an apron and he aims at Hager. Claudio shoulders into Hager, then brings him over to bump him off buckles! And again, and again, and again! The fans count all the way to 9, Claudio CLUBS Hager for the tenth!

Hager stands Claudio up to then CHOKE him against the buckles, and CLUB him again! Claudio staggers away but Hager is after him in another corner. Hager throws a heavy body shot, and he stalks Claudio to another corner to JAB at him. Hager toys with Claudio but Claudio BOOTS him for it! And EuroUppers, and throws body shots. But Hager clinches to BELLY2BELLY! Hager paces around Claudio, drags him back up, and suplexes, only for Claudio to block!
Claudio fights to suplex Hager up and over! Fans fire up while both men are down! Hager writhes while Claudio rises, and Claudio throws haymakers and elbows!

Fans are thunderous and they fist bump Claudio before he drags Hager up. Claudio puts Hager in, goes up a corner, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!

Cover, Claudio wins!
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall
A standing ovation for that incredible display of power! Claudio scores another win for the Blackpool Combat Club, will he keep things rolling until he brings gold to the BCC, too?
Backstage interview with Hook.
Lexi Nair once again interviews the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, and she brings up that he is still undefeated. Is it safe to say a title shot is in his future? Hook just shrugs and walks off. Well, that wasn’t a no. Will the champions of AEW be worried Tony Khan will #SendHook their way?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Toni Storm.
Schiavone is with #ThunderStorm and their new shirts. Rosa had a great AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator with Miyu Yamashita at Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Summer Sun Princess, as we all saw via AEW Dark. Rosa says yes, it was a banger! After two-and-a-half years away, she returned to TJPW as AEW Women’s World Champion, but she won’t lie, she lost. But Miyu is on her way to the States to get that title shot! Rosa was also excited last week because she got to tag up with her girl, Toni! And they ARE the ThunderStorm! They’re ready to take on anybody who wants it!
Britt Baker walks in to say, “Okay, that’s enough. We’ve heard enough of this Thunder Rosa promo for the next decade!” And look who’s back! Britt and Jamie Hayter tried to stay away, because as The Role Model, Britt was trying to let the others have the spotlight. But let’s face it, AEW is a disaster without her! A natural disaster. Get it? Thunder Storm is so cute! Those shirts look great. But uh, Jamie & Britt are well aware of the flooding, destruction and carnage a thunderstorm can cause. So luckily for them, and unfortunately for Rosa & Toni, Britt & Hayter know how to handle a Thunder Storm. Rebel brings in a big sandbag.
Britt makes Schiavone hold it, telling him to try “carrying” that for a month. Rosa says she can’t wait to BURY Britt with it! Will the Doctor and her sidekicks regret coming right back onto Rosa’s radar?
Serena Deeb VS Anna Jay!
The Professor of Pro-Wrestling wants after the ROH Women’s World Championship, given her betrayal of Mercedes Martinez last week. But will the Queenslayer derail those ambitions this close to Death Before Dishonor? Or will she just be an appetizer for the Wolf of Wrestling?
The bell rings and fans rally for Anna from Savannah. She and Deeb tie up. Deeb headlocks, spins and hammerlocks to then spin and trip Anny, to then hook her up into a GEDO CLUTCH! ONE, but Deeb headlocks for a takeover. Anna headscissors, Deeb kips free and and headlocks again. Anna endures the grind, powers out, but Deeb runs her over! Deeb taunts Anna, runs, blocks Anna’s hip toss to go for a hip toss, but Anna blocks that to arm-drag! Anna runs in to clinch and COMPLETE SHOT! Anna runs to BASEMENT BLOCKBUSTER! Fans fire up with Anna and she runs in to BOOT Deeb into the corner.
Anna runs in but Deeb slips outside. Anna stops from hitting buckles to grab at Deeb, but Deeb slides under to roll Anna into a BUTTERFLY STRETCH! Anna endures, fans rally up, and Anna powers her way to a cover, TWO! Anna runs in, gets around, and has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER!! Deeb flails, claws at the hold, reaches out, and gets in the ropes for the ROPEBREAK! Deeb keeps moving and she HOTSHOTS Anna down! Anna sputters, Deeb rushes in to TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Cover, TWO! Anna survives and gets out of the ring but Deeb is seething. Deeb soaks up the heat as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Deeb fires up the fans and builds speed, to then stop, go out and SMACK Anna off the apron! And again! The Wolf taunts the fans who thought she was going to fly. Deeb puts Anna against the railing, in front of her family, before the CHOP! But Anna turns it around to CHOP Deeb! Deeb pokes Anna in the eye! Then Deeb tells Anna’s family off before putting Anna back in the ring. Deeb pushes Anna down, tells her family to watch this, and then she scrapes her sole off Anna’s face! Deeb sneers as she puts on a BULLY CHOKE! Anna endures, moves around, fights up, and throws body shots! But Deeb CLUBS her back down!
Deeb drags Anna up, puts her through the ropes, and turns her for a DRAPING NECKBREAKER! Deeb smirks as she looms over the hometown hero. Deeb drags Anna up, headlocks for another takeover, then floats right to turn Anna over with her legs. Deeb hooks the legs up, mocks the Dark Order hand, and uses it to CLAW Anna’s face! The ref reprimands, Deeb lets Anna go to then drive elbows into Anna’s shoulder. Deeb wraps on a straitjacket stretch but Anna endures again. Anna fights up, turns the straitjacket around, but Deeb gets around again to BACKSTABBER! Anna flounders to a corner and Deeb runs in, only for Anna to BOOT her away!
Dynamite returns to single picture as Anna storms up and fires off forearms on Deeb! Fans fire up with Anna as she ROCKS Deeb then CLOBBERS her! And again! Anna dodges Deeb to CLOBBER Deeb again! Deeb goes to a corner, Anna runs in to LEG LARIAT! And then a NORTHERN LIGHTS! Cover, TWO! Anna is frustrated but she drags Deeb up to the QUEENSLAYER! Deeb endures, pries at the hold, drops and tucks the arms to flip Anna over! EURO CLUTCH, TWO!! Anna escapes but barely! She dodges Deeb again, but Deeb blocks the hip toss to spin Anna around and around and around, and a bit more, before reeling her in! DEEB-
NO, no Deebtox, a HARD back body drop! But Deeb holds on to sunset flip! TWO, and Deeb keeps the body scissors to stand and squat on Anna! Anna is being folded up as Deeb pulls on her arms in this modified motorcycle stretch! Fans rally as Anna endures, and she powers up to push Deeb back to a cover! TWO, Deeb kicks low! Deeb whips, Anna reverses and kicks low to then hook and HEEL KICK! Anna whips Deeb to a corner, but Deeb dodges to send her into the corner! Deeb puts one leg in the ropes and holds the other leg, DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Anna flounders and clutches that leg, but Deeb’s right on her!
But Anna uses that to drag Deeb down! QUEENSLAYER WITH BODY SCISSORS!! Deeb is flailing, fighting, gets the scissors open but Anna still has the sleeper! Deeb stands, arm-drags free, and she keeps the arm to omoplata! SERENITY LOCK!! Anna taps, Deeb wins!
Winner: Serena Deeb, by submission
But Deeb makes Anna suffer by holding on! But here comes MERCEDES! The OG Badass drags Deeb off Anna to TOSS her out! That’s what Deeb gets for betraying Mercedes and bullying the younger generation! But will Mercedes make sure Deeb gets everything she deserves at ROH Death Before Dishonor?
Backstage interview with The Baddies.
Schiavone is with Jade Cargill as she stands with Kiera Hogan on one side, and Leila Grey is with Stokely Hathaway on the other. Schiavone says there has been a lot of talk between The Baddies and Athena & Kris Statlander. That is why there will be a match this Friday on Rampage. Jade once again tells Schiavone to “cut the sh*t,” and says no one is worried about those bitches. Kiera, are you worried? Nope, they ain’t worried about nothing! Exactly. And shouldn’t Leila be fetching them water or something? Jade already beat her ass. Kiera asks what Leila is even still doing here? Stokely has Leila stay calm so they can address the elephant in the room.
Stokely has heard people are mad, but just trust him. He is for The Baddies the same way Wu Tang is for the children, alright? “Kris, Athena, this Friday on Rampage, we gon be watching you.” Stokely says to head out, but Kiera says Leila can try all she wants, she ain’t never gonna be a real Baddie. That’s all, period! Will there be no peace within The Baddies’ house until Red Velvet returns?
Jay Lethal crashes commentary!
Just as Excalibur was previewing the ROH Death Before Dishonor card and the coming ROH World Television Championship match, Lethal tells him and everyone else that all we need to be concerned about is that it is about HIM removing the title from Samoa Joe! Lethal has said it 1000 times, he is the LONGEST reigning ROH TV Champion! And Joe’s student will embarrass him! Will Lethal prove he is more lethal than the Samoan Submission Specialist once and for all?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Schiavone is standing by as a medic checks Anna’s leg after that match with Deeb. But then in walks Anna’s old friend in Tay Conti. Poor Anna. Her first match back in months and this happens. Anna tells Tay that at least she’s not someone who slammed Ruby Soho’s hand in a car door! Well, maybe Anna should have, because then she’d be on TV more. Tay says that she still likes Anna, she really does. But Anna needs to make better choices for her career. Just think about it. Is Tay trying to recruit Anna to the Jericho Appreciation Society? Or will Anna stay loyal to the Dark Order?
AEW World Tag Team Championships Triple Threat: The Young Bucks VS Team Taz VS Swerve in Our Glory!
Matt & Nick Jackson heard all the talk about “best tag team today” between the #AbsolutePowerhouses and the Limitless House, and decided to do something about it! Will it be a #SuperkickParty to close out the night? Will Ricky Starks & Will Hobbs bring these titles to Team Taz? Or will Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland make All Elite Wrestling #BaskinTheirGlory?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and tonight we go TRIPLE OR NOTHING!
In this kind of Triple Threat Tag, only two teams are legal at a time, so Team Taz is happy to step aside as Keith starts against Matt Jackson. Fans already sing, “OH~ Bask in His Glory~!” as Keith and Matt circle. They tie up, Matt headlocks, but Keith powers up to carry Matt. Matt thrashes the headlock, Keith powers out, but Matt dodges. Matt bobs ‘n’ weaves to dodge the fast hands, but Keith blocks the superkick! Matt ducks the JUMP KICK, and can’t believe Keith even got up there! Matt quickly tags out to Nick, and Swerve wants in. Keith tags him in and now we switch to the speed formation.
Swerve trips Nick, Nick avoids the stomps but Swerve knuckle locks him while he’s down. Nick kips up, spins through, CHOPS Swerve and goes up and up to “LUCHA LIBRE~,” only for Swerve to handspring through the arm-drag! Fans fire up, things speed up, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Nick flips up and around but Swerve dodges to show off his own agility. Swerve then puts Nick out, but he swaggers a bit too long and Nick BOOTS him. Swerve shrugs that off and comes back, Nick backflips off the apron, but Swerve handsprings up and out to join him! DOUBLE DROPKICKS cancel out, both men kip up and get in each other’s face!
Fans are thunderous already for this display, and both men slide in. Things speed up again, Nick arm-drags Swerve to an armlock! Nick scowls while he has the hold but fans rally up as Swerve stands up. Nick wrenches, keeps Swerve from ropes, then wrenches, only for Starks to tag in off Swerve! Nick dodges Starks and Starks knuckle locks with Matt! Starks and Nick CHOP Matt and Swerve, and both go up the corners. They tightrope walk and meet on the same side! They each ask what the other is doing, but Swerve and Matt trip them both up! Nick and Starks land on their bucks, and then flop back into the ring.
Matt tags in off Nick, taunts Keith then runs into Starks’ elbow! Starks runs in but into a NORTHERN LIGHTS! The Polar Express starts up! Swerve gets in, but Matt gets him for a DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS! Matt flexes and fans fire up, “This is Awesome!” But then Keith tags in off Swerve, and he stares Matt down. Matt runs in but he can’t get Keith up. Hobbs runs in and Matt still tries to do the double, but that’s more like a quadruple! Hobbs and Keith double suplex Matt to SLAM him down! Hobbs and Keith stare down and fans fire up, but Nick and Starks CLUB Keith while Swerve CLUBS Hobbs!
Swerve drags Hobbs away with a headlock while Starks and Nick double whip Keith. Keith reverses to crisscross and TOSS Starks and Nick! Everyone else bails out, Matt is up and Swerve tags in with Keith. They get Matt up and trap him for the GRIZZLY MAGNUM! Matt is stinging but Swerve kicks him down. FALLING UPPERCUT! Keith brings Matt back around and Swerve goes up but Matt BELL CLAPS Keith and SHOVES him into Swerve! Swerve falls, Matt dropkicks Keith out, and fans fire up with Matt calling for the “SUPERKICK PARTAAAY~!” But Starks tags in off Matt! No superkicks yet, and Starks tags Hobbs.
Starks whips Swerve, hip toss into a BACKBREAKER from Hobbs! Hobbs then hauls Swerve up to put him on the top rope, and CLUB him! Then he whips Swerve into Starks’ DROPKICK! Team Taz strikes a pose together and fans fire up! Starks says this is whose house? HIS house, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Starks stalks Swerve then drags him up to scoop and SLAM! Starks runs to drop an elbow! Cover, TWO! Starks keeps on Swerve but Swerve digs at Starks’ face! Starks puts Swerve in a corner to CHOP! Starks pretends he hurt his hand on that, but Swerve hits back. They brawl, Starks DECKS Swerve then rains down fists and stomps! Starks digs his boots in, the ref reprimands, and Starks lets off at 4. Starks hauls Swerve up, Hobbs tags in, and Team Taz mugs Swerve in their corner. Hobbs suplexes Swerve to hold him up for a count of 10 before the SLAM! Cover, TWO! Swerve survives but Hobbs drags him away from the other corners.
Tag to Starks, Starks goes up and strikes a pose before the AX HANDLE to Swerve’s back. Stark smocks Keith conducting the fans, but Swerve CHOPS him! Starks staggers all the way to the Bucks’ corner, Nick tags in off him, but Starks still runs in to bring Swerve up. Starks RAMS Swerve into the Bucks’ corner, Nick stomps a mudhole into Swerve, but he lets off at 4 to soak up the cheers and jeers. Nick drags Swerve up, tags Matt, and the Bucks coordinate. GUTBUSTER to NECKBREAKER BACKBREAKER COMBO! Matt struts around like he’s doing a victory lap, and he taunts Team Taz! The ref has to keep Hobbs & Starks back while Matt fetches Swerve.
Matt uses Swerve’s hands to tell Keith to “SUCK IT!” and now the ref has to keep Keith back. Matt ROCKS Swerve, he tags Nick, and Dynamite returns to single picture as Swerve fights the double team. Swerve sends Matt at Nick, then runs in, into a double hip toss! The Bucks handspring but Swerve kips up to DOUBLE DROPKICK! Fans fire up as Swerve and the Bucks are down! Swerve flounders his way over, hot tag to Keith! Starks runs in but gets run over! Keith hits Hobbs, runs Matt over, then runs Nick over! Keith sees targets in every corner, so he SPLASHES Nick, SPLASHES Matt, then SPLASHES Starks!
Nick runs in but Keith moves, the SPLASH hits Starks! Matt runs in, Keith moves again, the SPLASH sandwiches Nick and Starks! The Bucks stagger away together and Keith grabs Starks, to TOSS at them both! Keith takes out three men at once and the fans are thunderous! Keith sees The Bucks regrouping by the ramp, so he builds speed! But Team Taz drags him out! Hobbs & starks mug Keith but Matt WRECKS them with a dropkick! Nick builds speed and Matt holds the ropes, Nick FLIES but Keith catches him! Nick freaks out as Keith POWERBOMBS him into Matt! Keith pushes the Bucks in and brings Nick up again.
Keith pops Nick right up, but Nick fights free! Keith snarls but Hobbs tags in. Hobbs ROCKS Keith, and fans fire up as the big men stare down! Hobbs shoves, Keith shoves back. Hobbs RAMS Keith, Keith RAMS Hobbs back. Keith dodges Hobbs this time, but then DOUBLE CROSSBODIES COLLIDE! Both men go down in heaps and fans are thunderous again! Fans hope these teams all “FIGHT FOREVER!” but this has to end somehow. Keith gets Hobbs up at the corner, but Hobbs fights back! Hobbs HEADBUTTS again and again until Keith falls, then Hobbs stands up top!? POWERHOUSE FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!!
Hobbs can’t believe Keith survives, he and Keith slowly stir. Nick tags in off Keith, but Hobbs kicks low. Tag to Starks, Team Taz double whip Nick to a corner, and then Starks runs in. Nick BOOTS him, elbows Hobbs, then goes up, only for Hobbs to get him with an Electric Chair! Starks knuckle locks Nick to go up and up and tightrope walk, for an ABSOLUTE DOOMSDAY CUTTER!! Cover, TWO!?! Nick survives and Starks can’t believe it! Nick crawls away, Starks runs in, but the spear is sent into buckles!! Swerve tags in off Starks while Nick tags Matt.

Matt SUPERKICKS but Swerve goes Matrix! Only for Swerve to kip up into Nick’s SUPERKICK! Keith gets in but Matt SUPERKICKS him! Keith stays up so Nick SUPERKICKS! Keith is still up, so the Bucks DOUBLE SUPERKICK! Keith only drops to a knee?! Starks gets in, too, and he’s just as shocked! Starks offers his help, and they ABSOLUTE TRIPLE SUPERKICK Keith down!! Starks poses with the Bucks, but then they DOUBLE SUPERKICK him!

Swerve grabs the belt, but who is he going to hit? Swerve’s looking at Keith!? Why!? But then Swerve says no, he’s not gonna do Keith like that. But then Matt LOW BLOWS Swerve!!

Winners: Swerve in Our Glory, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions)
The Bucks have been dethroned!! The confetti flies for Swerve & Keith, because this is THEIR house, and these are THEIR titles! They held it together as a team, and they are now THE best team in AEW! Will everyone now #BaskInTheirGlory?
Thanks to this YouTube exclusive, we hear from the champions after Dynamite goes off the air!
Keith has the mic first and fans chant for him, “KEITH LEE! WOOP WOOP!” Keith thanks the fans for that, and thanks Swerve from the bottom of his heart. Keith won’t take up much time with Rampage coming up, but he will say this. “I only have three people in my world I consider extremely close to me. One of them, I’ve known for about two-and-a-half decades. And I know what y’all’re thinking. ‘Gaddamn, Keith, you old as sh*t, ain’t ya?’ I’m 37, but as you can tell, I’m young in the legs, baby.” But he says about his friend, Lascelles King, “I’ve known him since 1998. I found out a little while ago that there’s a chance that he may have cancer.”
Keith says most fans probably know, but he nearly died last year. He kept quiet about it until it had all past. There isn’t much that gets to Keith, but when it comes to those he loves, finding out two days ago that Lascelles has stage four colon cancer, Keith dedicated this match to him, and to his other buddy in JD Griffey. “The fact is, I didn’t care if we won or lost. The fact is, this is a brotherhood, and I’m devoting my everything to that.” So this was more than just a victory for Keith, Swerve, their story, this is for Lascelles King and Keith’s love! Keith will always be there. When Keith gets back to Texas, he’ll drive to Austin and see Lascelles ASAP.
Keith wants Lascelles to stay strong and fight! Fight harder than they did here tonight, than Keith did to live through his, and he will be there for Lascelles. Fans cheer the heart and the passion from Keith, and on behalf of him and the Chairshot, let’s all cheer Lascelles King on in his fight against cancer.
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode and an awesome start to Fyter Fest 2022, which will technically now be four AEW shows, because even Rampage becomes Fyter Fest each Friday. The TNT Championship of Wardlow VS Cassidy was great, with Best Friends outright wanting to be Heel to try and cheat Wardlow. But it was all comical so they’re clearly not staying Heel. Wardlow is the master at countering Heel tactics, since he was by MJF’s side all that time. Wardlow of course retains, so I’m surprised this was against Cassidy. At the same time, Wardlow’s going to build a head of steam to have a really strong reign. Also, good to see the TNT Championship is keeping its own title of Most Changed Belt Design, resetting to the black ‘n’ red for Wardlow.
Great promos from the Jericho Appreciation Society members and Eddie Kingston to hype up next week’s Barbed Wire Everywhere Death Match with a shark cage on the side. Or, rather, in the air. I’m a little worried they’re raising the cage when it’s going to have five grown men inside. Maybe Sammy Guevara is staying away on purpose so that there’s one less body in the cage. Jericho bringing back The Painmaker is cool, and very “sports entertainment” of him to up the ante in this match. I would still think Eddie wins to properly cap this off and get the distinction of being the Painmaker’s first loss in AEW.
Moxley VS Konosuke was another awesome match, and perhaps Konosuke’s newest “best match yet” here in AEW. Naturally Moxley wins to deny Konosuke a title shot, but Konosuke is definitely contender material for the TNT and All-Atlantic Championships. Good promo from The House of Black, but I feel like we should’ve already known about that “attack” from Brody on Darby. Perhaps a little too much reliance on fans keeping up with their social media. But anyway, Brody VS Darby is going to be an awesome match to kick Fyter Fest up another gear. Another good Heel promo from Christian sinking to new lows, and Luchasaurus just decimates the Blonds. I don’t know when JB is supposed to return but maybe Matt Hardy gets after Luchasaurus 1v1 while we wait.
I feel like they could’ve/should’ve told us sooner that All Out was going to be in Chicago again. But it’s still cool to know the tradition continues, and that Chicago will be hosting AEW all that week. It being in Chicago, it might also be a good opportunity for CM Punk to give us a health update so we know when to expect him back. Good moment with Hangman, Silver and Reynolds, but Silver & Reynolds are totally getting destroyed by Malakai & Brody while the House of Black builds momentum. Hook had a promo with Lexi Nair, but it’s about the same as all his others. I do think Hook should go for a title now, but he also does need to have matches that last more than a few minutes. His cool guy personality and how fans love him only goes so far.
Lethal has a decent promo to call out Samoa Joe one more time, but I still can’t be sure how that one goes. Thunder & Storm sticking together is interesting, but it really only makes sense if AEW is going to dip back into a Women’s Tag Division. Britt is back, so her fans are happy, and I wonder if she and Hayter end up the high profile fodder for #ThunderStorm to get going as a team. And as I figured with what we saw on AEW Dark, Miyu Yamashita is coming to America to face Rosa, we’ll have to wait and see when and where that title match happens. I would think Rosa retains, and I have a feeling Britt takes Rosa on for the title again to return to that feud.
Good promo from The Baddies, and of course Jade and Kiera are still against adding Leila Grey as a Baddie. This is starting to feel like what was going to happen with NXT’s Diamond Mine had WWE kept Stokely Hathaway/Malcolm Bivens, but maybe AEW will do it better. Athena & Statlander having a match on Rampage is cool, that’ll be a momentum builder before they face Jade & Kiera, which will give Leila her chance to prove herself. Claudio VS Hager was an awesome match, and of course Menard & Parker try to help Hager win, and of course Claudio overcomes that to take the win. Claudio is also building momentum towards titles, maybe he takes on PAC?
Deeb VS Anna was a great match, probably Anna’s best and that is after her taking on Jade Cargill twice. Great use of Anna’s family ringside, but of course Deeb wins. Deeb VS Mercedes is happening, so this was a great momentum builder but also a great chance for Mercedes to go after Deeb. Their title match is going to be awesome stuff, and it is starting to feel like either woman could win. Anna and Tay also had a good promo backstage, so that’s clearly a feud in the making. And we got an awesome Triple Threat Tag main event, everyone looked amazing in it, and what a great surprise that Keith & Swerve won.
This whole time, I thought FTR VS Bucks for All Out was a shoe-in, but this makes the win that much greater. Keith & Swerve can still have that dysfunction story play out, but it is great that they got major titles in a major company when WWE could’ve done the same thing with them and totally dropped the ball on them both. Also, what a powerful post-show promo from Keith, I really do mean all that about hoping Lascelles King well.
My Score: 9.2/10

Parking Lot Brawl: Trent Beretta VS Chuck Taylor!
Years of friendship, thrown away, and why? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Freshly Squeezed having more success in AEW than them? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Cassidy as a person? Because #JustTrent turned out to be the selfish one in the relationship? Well, then will #JustTrent get his ass kicked? Or will he take advantage of how Chuckie T. is a Kentucky Gentleman?
Trent stares Chuck down while we hear the crowd of other wrestlers taunting him. Trent takes a swing, but Chuck dodges to fire off hands! The brawl is on, and Chuck gets the edge! Chuck ROCKS Trent, then SMACKS him off a car hood! And then off the car door! Chuck drags Trent up, but Trent RAMS Chuck into the car! And throat chops him just because! Trent gets space, runs back in, but Chuck dodges so Trent hits the passenger door! Chuck gets a trash can lid and he stands Trent up. Trent jumps through the open window but Chuck drags him back out. Trent kicks low, and he gives Chuck a CAR HOOD BACK SUPLEX!
Trent grabs the trash can lid, SMACKS Chuck right in the head and Chuck falls down! The crowd boos but Trent opens a car trunk to bring out a trash can, a dustpan and a baseball bat! Chuck storms up but Trent CHUCKS the trash can into Chuck’s face! Chuck flounders and Trent smirks. Trent SMACKS Chuck with the trash can, CLUBS him around, and Chuck is busted open! The white car has red polka dots on it now, and Trent talks trash, “This is what you wanted?!” Trent runs up, but Chuck POP UP POWERBOMBS Trent onto a car hood! Trent writhes, Chuck staggers around, and Chuck brings Trent around.
Chuck headlocks Trent before he SMACKS him off another car door. Trent goes around the back and then up onto a truck! Chuck follows, and he CLUBS Trent in the chest! But Trent slips under, and he CLAWS Chuck’s bloody face! Trent DECKS Chuck and Chuck falls through drywall sheets! Trent looms over Chuck as he crawls out of the wreckage. Trent stalks Chuck, brings him around and SMACKS him with the trash can lid! Trent hoists Chuck onto a car roof, SMACKS him again, then goes back to the truck. Trent climbs onto the roof of the truck, to FLYING ELBOW from car to car! Cover, TWO!!
Trent is furious, but Chuck is still in this as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Trent fumes, paces around, and goes back to the goodies. He brings out… Is that a screwdriver?! And he JABS Chuck in the head with it!! And then he DIGS it into Chuck’s forehead!! As if he wasn’t already bleeding badly!! Trent leaves Chuck behind, to fetch what looks to be a flat screen TV. Then he brings out a wood door!? Did someone visit Home Depot before coming here? Chuck CHOPS Trent in return then fires haymakers! Trent CLAWS Chuck’s face! Trent grabs that TV and CHUCKS it, only for Chuck to duck it! Rampage returns as TV screen hits windshield! Chuck kicks low to snap suplex Trent through the door!!
The crowd is losing its minds as Trent crawls. Chuck gets Trent’s legs, to CATAPULT him into the truck’s tailgate!! The crowd fires up while Chuck gets a sinister look on his face. Chuck takes a piece of that drywall to SMASH it on Trent! Chuck gets that trash can, he SMACKS Trent with it! Chuck sees the pile of extra goodies nearby, and he uncovers some light tubes! But first, he’ll clean up the mess, he SMACKS Trent with the dust pan! And SMACKS him again and again! And then one more shot with the trash can! Trent writhes, but Chuck drags Trent up. Chuck SMACKS Trent off the tailgate, then clears some space.
Chuck climbs up, but Trent ROCKET LAUNCHES him onto the light tubes!!! The tubes shatter under Chuck’s back! Trent sputters, he’s bloody now, too. Trent puts Chuck against the car hood and stands on him! Trent soaks up the heat, but Chuck TRIPS Trent! Trent writhes, Chuck reels Trent in, Canadian Rack, RAZOR’S EDGE onto a windshield!! Trent writhes while fans chant “HOLY CHUCK!” Chuck covers Trent on the hood, TWO!! Trent survives and hurries around the back of this sedan. Chuck snarls, goes up after Trent, and they meet on the roof. They’re both so bloody as they fire forearms back and forth!
The crowd cheers Chuck and boos Trent, and as the two swing wild, they end up HUGGING! You GOT to give the people what they want, right? They stand, Chuck ROCKS Trent and reels Trent in, but Trent LOW BLOWS!! Trent has Chuck now, PILEDRIVER ON THE CAR ROOF!!! And then, SNAKE BITE!! Trent is choking Chuck out!!! Chuck IS out, Trent wins!!
Winner: Trent Beretta, by submission
The Best Friends tore each other apart, but it is #JustTrent that stands tall in the end. He’s clearly lost the respect of his peers given how the other wrestlers are chanting “You Suck! You Suck!” But wait, Trent isn’t done? He has a monkey wrench!? Cassidy & Kris step forward to say no, this is going too far! Trent says this is all Cassidy’s fault! And SMASH, Trent hits Chuck’s leg with the wrench, and even shatters the glass behind it!! Chuck clutches the already recovering leg, and now Cassidy wants after Trent! Kris stops Cassidy, Trent’s still got the wrench! Trent escapes into the shadows of the arena, what darkness is living in Trent’s heart?
Don Callis is watching this.
And he seems to like the sadistic savagery he just witnessed. Trent may not have Best Friends anymore, but could he end up with a whole new family?
Backstage interview with Kyle O’Reilly.
Arkady Aura is with #CombatKyle and brings up his impressive showing in Dynamite’s Casino Gauntlet this past Wednesday. But we all want to know, what is next for her? Well, on Saturday, May 11th, AEW is coming to his hometown! Collision in Vancouver, British Columbia! The Rogers Arena, the same building an 11-year-old Kyle saw his first wrestling show ever. And at that show, Kyle told his dad that he was gonna do this one day. Papa O’Reilly said, “Oh yeah, sure you will, kid.” But somehow, Kyle pulled it off. 25 years later, he’s coming back home to do the one thing he’s ever been good at and that’s wrestling.
Kyle is going to take on the best wrestlers this world has to offer, right here in AEW, where the best wrestle. Kyle is ready for a fight, who will take him up on that in two weeks?
Thunder Rosa VS Deonna Purrazzo!
La Mera Mera and The Virtuosa could not coexist in the race for the AEW Women’s World Championship, and now they will Rampage against each other! Who will stand tall, ready for another shot at the title?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Deonna and Rosa step up, talk a little trash, then Deonna pie faces Rosa! Rosa swings but Deonna catches the arm! Rosa avoids the takedown to knee low! They tie up again, go around and around, and Deonna puts Rosa in a corner. The ref counts, Rosa powers her way out but Deonna headlocks. Rosa powers up and out, but Deonna RAMS her! The two stay up, Deonna eggs Rosa on then kicks her low! Deonna whips, Rosa blocks the hip toss, but then Deonna blocks a hip toss! Rosa avoids the lariat to DECK Deonna!

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Arkady Aura is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett as she notes Will Ospreay is the NEW #1 Contender to the AEW International Championship. Taven says hold on, before we get started here, “Not Lexy,” as three guys who care deeply about neck health, and as two guys who nursed someone from the brink of paralysis (aka Roddy), The Kingdom wishes a very speedy recovery to “the world’s greatest boss. TK, stay strong, buddy.” Roddy then shouts that “WILL… Ospreay. Congratulations, you did it! You have signed, sealed and delivered the downfall, demise and destruction of The Aerial Assassin at Double or Nothing.”
Roddy says the world can sing Ospreay’s praises, but none of that matters when you step in the ring with Roddy. Just like all the ones before, Roddy will dismantle Ospreay, he will BREAK Ospreay, and he will make Ospreay fall in front of The Savior of the Backbreaker. Roddy’s confidence is strong, but will Roddy be the one feeling the End of Heartache after taking on the #BillyGOAT?
“Big Bill” Morrissey VS Trevor Blackwell!
The human skyscraper says he wants to sit under the Learning Tree, but Chris Jericho’s gonna need a bigger tree if he’s to give guidance to Big Bill. Will Bill prove he is worthy of The Wizard’s sage advice?

Winner: “Big Bill” Morrissey, by pinfall
Trev might want to change his last name to Well-done, because he got roasted. Bill wants Jericho’s guidance, does he even need it when he can do all this?

Will this momentum help Shibata avenge Hook and take that FTW Championship off of Chris Jericho? Or will The Learning Tree have some things to teach Shibata?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, though I was oddly more excited when I thought it was just Deonna VS Rosa and the Parking Lot Brawl. But even so, at least Bill squashing a dude was used in story. He was showing off, he’ll surely have Jericho’s blessing if he helps defeat Shibata on Dynamite, but a part of me almost wants this to be all a trap. Bill was teammates with Ricky Starks in a feud against Jericho, and if Jericho is being obliviously arrogant then maybe Bill is using that against Jericho, too. But either way, let’s just hope this story helps Bill get going rather than slow him down like the #JerichoVortex has always done.
The Parking Lot Brawl was moving maybe a bit fast for me, especially with how there were some obvious spots already set up when they arrived, such as the drywall draped across the truck bed. But they surely got bloody, and in the end, Trent won out because he was willing to sink to the lowest low. And then they’ve written Chuck off again with that monkey wrench to the shin, so Cassidy VS Trent is definitely a Double or Nothing match. And something is just telling me that if Kris is gonna turn out to be the villain in the Willow Nightingale story, she’s probably gonna screw Cassidy over to help Trent, too.
Really good match from Deonna VS Rosa, and with Rosa getting a quick pin then that brawl, we’re clearly getting more out of them. Good promo from Kyle O’Reilly to hype AEW’s newest Canada tour, and good promo from The Kingdom to tie in their old Neck Health Awareness gag to the Tony Khan piledriver angle. Roddy calling out Ospreay, I would definitely think Ospreay wins the title at Double or Nothing. And really good tag main event from Shibata & Garcia VS Shane Taylor Promotions. STP keeps getting great showings even in losing, but Lee took the loss here to keep Shane himself strong. Great win for Shibata but this just adds to the go-home math where Jericho retains the FTW Championship on Dynamite.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Swerve Strickland is here!
Prince Nana again leads the way as the NEW AEW World Champion makes his way out here. The Realest opened Dynamite with a win, but he walks back out to Daily’s Place to stand in the ring to finally acknowledge his victory at Dynasty. Nana says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the man standing in front of you today is the Boss of Bosses! The man standing in front of you today is the Anointed One in Professional Wrestling! The man standing in front of you is one hell of a wrestler. And he’s none other than the AEW World Heavyweight Champion, Swerve Strickland!” The fans cheer and chant, “Thank You, Swerve!”
Swerve says what a week we’ve had here in AEW! Let’s run it down: a NEW TBS Champion in Willow Nightingale; by the grace of God, Adam Cole can walk; Adam Copeland got misted in the face by The House of Black; Will Ospreay and Bryan Danielson tore the house down; and then… Jack Perry returned. The fans boo but Swerve says Jack’s back in AEW, and he struck Tony Khan, the founder of AEW, who put his faith in Swerve. On top of that, The EVPs, the Young Bucks are again the AEW World Tag Team Champions, and they hit Tony Khan with the whatever it is driver, and now TK is in a neck brace and who knows when we’ll see him in healthy condition.
Now, Swerve will be the first to tell everyone, he’s done some horrible things. Once, twice, three, four times. But something about four elite athletes beating down a non-fighter in TK, that sounds like a b*tch move to him. The fans echo “B*TCH MOVE!” but Swerve wants to get to business. The most important thing that happened this week is Swerve went into Dynasty and he made history by dethroning Samoa Joe and becoming the NEW AEW World Champion! Now, a pet peeve of his is those going around calling themselves “Best in the World.” But make no mistake, the Best in the World is the one holding this title right here!
Last week, it was Samoa Joe. This week, it’s Swerve, baby. And Swerve got here by fighting, but also by making sacrifices. Swerve says the night he won this title, he went to his daughter. She said, “Dad, I love you, I’m so proud of you. But I feel like I just don’t know you.” That hit Swerve to his core. His relationship with his children is everything. But he’s missed birthdays, holidays, basketball games, dance recitals, Father-Daughter dances, and he can’t make up for lost time. But what he can do is set the example and blaze a trail, to make sure this was all worth it. The fans cheer that!
Swerve continues by saying AEW has set people in front of him and he’s knocked them all down! Kyle Fletcher was just one. Now, how about an Open Challenge for the AEW World Championship? But only to someone who really wants to fight! So how about it, Jacksonville? We’re entering a new era in AEW, the Dynasty Era! And the elite of that era is whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But then here comes Claudio Castagnoli! The Swiss Superman is in a suit, not his gear, but he does get in the ring. Claudio circles Swerve, then takes the mic and holds up a finger. The fans still chant, but Claudio says, “You’re on.”
Swerve says see you later tonight then, in whose house? But then Claudio snatches the mic again! “It’s gonna be mine.” The fans are intrigued but Claudio is looking to end Swerve’s Dynasty the same week it started! Will the Swiss Superman bring even more gold to the Blackpool Combat Club?
Tony Khan has a medical update.
He is feeling grateful and blessed that he can still walk, talk and work, as was seen during the NFL Draft with Tony Khan alongside his father, Shahid, in the Jacksonville Jaguars war room. However, the doctors have advised TK not to travel, so he will be monitoring AEW Dynamite in Winnipeg remotely. Will that mean The EVPs will be in control of things in person this Wednesday…?
Unified AEW & ROH World Trios Championships: Bullet Club Gold VS Top Flight!

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Arkady Aura says Freshly Squeezed was attacked by #JustTrent last Dynamite, and that ultimately forced Chuck Taylor’s hand in choosing sides. The Kentucky Gentleman chose Cassidy, where is his head at right now? Cassidy knows Trent said a lot of things that Cassidy is still working through. But what is on his mind most now is that later tonight on Rampage, those two are fighting in a Parking Lot Brawl. Cassidy is afraid of what Trent and Chuck are going to do to each other. Kris Statlander walks in and tells Cassidy that “he needs us. Let’s go.” Cassidy nods and leaves with the Galaxy’s Greatest. Will Chuck’s real friends be there for him, win or lose?

Backstage interview with Serena Deeb.
Arkady Aura is now with The Professor of Professional Wrestling, and says that Deeb came out to touch the AEW Women’s World Championship. What message is Deeb looking to send? Deeb says it’s a very simple one. On one hand, we have the great champion, Toni Storm, someone everyone loves, and one of the greatest champions in this company’s history. On the other, we have the undefeated Professor, the obvious #1 contender. After everything Deeb’s been through, how hard she had to fight to get back here, failure is not an option. It is now or never!
And after four years of being told how great she is, and how she SHOULD be champion, it is time to prove it. It is time to accomplish something she has yet to do, and that is become THE AEW Women’s World Champion. Deeb tells Storm this isn’t a movie, this is real-life. And as such, will Deeb bring Storm crashing down to reality?

Backstage interview with Katsuyori Shibata.
Arkady is now with The Wrestler, and she brings up the issues with Shane Taylor Promotions. But at the same time, he is going to be challenging Chris Jericho for the FTW Championship. Any last words before that match? Shibata uses his Google Translate voice-to-text to “say” that he is going to chop down The Learning Tree and take Jericho’s title. And any plans for Shane Taylor? Shibata “says,” Rampage will see him take on STP alone. But then Daniel Garcia steps in. Garcia tells Shibata-san that he has respect for him. If Shibata needs help against STP, Garcia will help him. What does he say?
Shibata takes a moment to type it out, and says okay. Save the last dance for him. Garcia nods and dances his way off screen. Will the Dragonslayer help The Wrestler take the fight to Big Bad Shaney T. Boy?

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
It was a shootout ’til the end, and in the end, Swerve had more ammo in his arsenal! But he still shows Claudio respect by offering a handshake. Claudio stands, and he shakes Swerve’s hand. The Realest is rolling on, but who will look to go Double or Nothing with him in just one month’s time?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, even with it having to be slightly delayed by NBA Playoffs. There was criticism out there that Swerve didn’t get a chance to talk on Dynamite, but he still had a really good promo to open Collision, and it worked better that he’d be able to reference the attack on Tony Khan from Dynamite. Swerve subtly calls out a lot of wrestlers within AEW, and technically some outside of AEW, by saying he doesn’t like people just calling themselves “Best in the World.” He and Claudio had an awesome main event match, though maybe a false finish too many. Swerve of course retained, and can’t wait to see who a now EVP dominated AEW chooses as Swerve’s opponent. It would be hilariously corrupt of The Bucks to make it Jack Perry.
Great Six Man title match tonight, solid first defense for Bang Bang Gang. Great tag match from Acclaimed with Grizzled Young Veterans, but it makes sense Acclaimed would win as the AEW home team. I’m just not sure where Acclaimed go from here other than Billy Gunn saying they can return to the tag division and challenge The Bucks. After all, FTR got pretty banged up in the ladder match and it’d be a bit soon for them to get a rematch against The Bucks. Swerve could team up with The Acclaimed if they’re all going to target The Elite, and vice-versa, going towards Double or Nothing.
Great return matches for Rey Fenix and Rush, but I didn’t think Rush would just do a squash match. Fenix, Pac and Penta all being healthy at the same time, Death Triangle going for the trios titles? Lucha Bros going for tag titles? And I’m really hoping LFI truly gets going here in AEW, also going for the trios titles or something like that. Really good promo from Cassidy with Kris and then Cassidy with Chuck to hype up the Parking Lot Brawl, that thing is gonna kick off Rampage and be wild stuff. Good promo from House of Black to call out Edge, but you can bet this won’t be the only time they go for the TNT Championship. Edge will surely beat Buddy or Brody, and then it’s Malakai challenging at Double or Nothing.
Good promo from Shibata and Garcia to set up a tag match for Rampage, that’ll be great stuff. Good interview promo for Deeb, though it doesn’t add all that much from everything else she’s said to this point. Storm VS Anna was a very good match, and of course Storm won. No Mina showing up was a little surprising, but there’s plenty of time to build the mentor love triangle. Deeb VS Storm will be great stuff, and depending on how they play this, there’s half a chance Deeb wins because Storm will end up preoccupied with Mina and Mariah being so close. Deeb can take the title and face Deonna, Rosa, and a number of others while Storm and Mina fight over Mariah quite literally.
My Score: 8.8/10
