But wait! The war horns of the Redeemer blow! It’s MIRO! And he’s wearing sunglasses so that he cannot be blinded by the mist! Malakai and Brody stand their ground, but Miro then stops at the end of the ramp. Malakai seems to know something. Is Miro showing mercy? Or is he still trying to understand that feeling clawing at his mind?
Backstage interview with Cole Karter.
Tony Schiavone says the FTW Championship is on the line, and what a journey it has been for Karter to reach AEW. Yes, it has been a great journey, but Karter is interrupted by “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, and the FTW Champion himself, Ricky Starks. Yes, quite the journey. Rumor is, Karter was sleeping with the fishes, but now look at him. Karter’s here, swimming with sharks! Last week is behind Team Taz, Starks is looking to the future, and that future is Karter and Starks for the title. Starks has been FTW Champion for well over a year, and for a very good reason. That doesn’t change tonight.
Karter tells Ricky that his future is going to look a lot like his past, when Karter beats him for that title! Starks laughs that off, will he be dropping a dime tonight?
Best Friends w/ Orange Cassidy VS Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta w/ William Regal!
Chuck Taylor & Trent Beretta are back in action together, ready to get back in the AEW World Tag Team Championship scene. However, they’re running into the Blackpool Combat Club! Will the Interim AEW World Champion and ROH Pure Champion prove you don’t have to be Best Friends to be a great team? Or will Chuckie T & #JustTrent get themselves some golden tickets tonight?
The teams sort out and Trent starts against Moxley. Moxley and Trent circle, tie up, and Moxley waistlocks to SLAM Trent down. Moxley half nelsons, facelocks, but Trent slips out to facelock back.

And then whips him into more! Moxley protests but the ref tells everyone to cool it off! Moxley chases Chuck off, and CHUCKS a chair at him! It hits steel steps instead, fortunately, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref counts, Chuck drags Yuta up and snap suplexes! Cover, TWO! Chuck drags Yuta by his hair, knees him low, and tags in Trent. But Yuta fires off CHOPS and forearms on both Best Friends!

Chuck tags in, but Yuta jumps on for a GUILLOTINE! Chuck stays up, Moxley drags Trent out! Moxley has Trent’s leg for a FIGURE FOUR!!
Chuck pops Yuta off to NORTHERN LIGHTSÂ into the corner! Chuck drags Yuta up, but Yuta flips through to turn Chuck around, SEATBELT CRADLE! BCC WINS!
Winners: Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
Cassidy complains that Chuck taught Yuta that move. But Freshly Squeezed frustrations aside, will Best Friends have to admit Yuta improved thanks to the Blackpool Combat Club? Will Yuta prove he’s better because of the BCC when he defeats Daniel Garcia at Death Before Dishonor?
AEW takes a closer look at the coming ROH World Championship match.
Ian Riccaboni says, “Claudio is perhaps more dangerous on the mat than anybody that Jonathan Gresham has faced to date as ROH World Champion. So Gresham not only has to worry about the raw, brute strength of Claudio, but also his submission expertise.” Gresham himself says, “On July 23rd, you (Claudio) will step in the ring with the Foundation. The Undisputed ROH World Champion. And that means you’re gonna have to outclass, outsmart and out wrestle ME, the best technical wrestler in the world. But you won’t.” Will the Octopus drag the Swiss Superman down to the depths and hold onto his title?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He says it is time for a celebration of the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! #SwerveInOurGlory, Swerve Strickland & Keith Lee! AEW’s Shaq & Kobe took these titles in last week’s #TripleOrNothing title match with the Young Bucks and Team Taz! They make their entrances to the ring and oh, there’s even cake and champagne. But first, they join Schiavone in the ring. A well-deserved ovation for the new champions. Fyter Fest night one, what a night. Congratulations to the new champions, and fans sing “OH~ Bask in His Glory~!” Swerve says Keith can’t hog all the glory. “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”
Before we get into this, Swerve being the mogul… Fans chant “You Deserve It!” and Kevin Gates is here to provide the festivities and show some love. Khaza album, go get that. Keith says before moving on, he has a question for Mr. Gates. That album’s good, but what about the deluxe? Keith means to express his eternal thanks, not just to Swerve, not just to the opportunity to gain these sweet titles, but to all of the fans. Hold on, Keith has to take his Sasuke Uchiha hoodie off, he gets hot. Take it off, Keith, take it off~! Thank you. Now listen, the team appreciates the fans because with the fans’ help, Keith & Swerve have ascended to the top!
And if it were up to Keith, he and Swerve don’t need to look down. If you want a chance at the titles, you better reach out. With that said, a toast is in order! May it be… limitless! But then someone tells them to hold on, and it’s “Smart” Mark Sterling! He says there will be NO toast! Keith, you idiot, they warned you! Hey, watch your tone. Sterling says Keith & Swerve got lucky with the titles, and Keith got lucky Swerve didn’t stab him in the back! And they’re not the only people that think this! The People Against Swerve Strickland petition, aka #PASS, is almost complete! They can remove Swerve from the roster!
Nese licks the frosting on the cake!! Sterling says the majority of AEW already signed, so it would be great to get the international rap superstar, Kevin Gates, to sign, too! Sterling saw Kevin in the back, got excited, he thought that was Young MA. It isn’t, but oh well. But Kevin, you are a fan, yes? So do the right thing for everyone and sign! Uh, that’s a no, Sterling. Oh, is it? Well he thought Kevin would say that. Because just like Swerve, he’s untrustworthy and his music sucks! Kevin Gates jumps the railing! Sterling says you do not touch him, or he will sue! Nese is also Sterling’s body guard, so there’s that.
But then Gates BOPS Nese! Sterling fans Nese off, but turns around into a CAKE SMASH! This is the second time this has happened to Sterling in history. “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Will Swerve & Keith celebrate with just the champagne? And who will be the first to “reach out” to them for a title shot?
Backstage interview with The Butcher, The Blade, and the Dark Order.
Schiavone is with these two teams because John Silver & Alex Reynolds wanted to say something to the Butcher & Blade. Silver says he’s the Meat Man, so his favorite wrestler is The Butcher! Look at that mustache! And Silver has a gift for The Butcher. It’s a T-shirt that reads, “BUTCH!” Blade says this is stupid. Oh, don’t worry, they got him a shirt, too! But it also says “BUTCH.” Oops. Blade & Butcher attack! They choke the Dark Order with those shirts, then they POP-UP KICK Reynolds! Butcher tosses Reynolds into the wall, but Hangman Page makes the save before Silver gets any worse! Will the Cowboy take down Butcher & Blade for what they did to his friends?
Christian Cage & Luchasaurus VS The Varsity Blonds!
Captain Charisma hates Jungle Boy so much, he even hates those that merely resemble Jungle Boy! Luchasaurus already wrecked Brian Pillman Jr. & Griff Garrison on his own, will he and Christian make the Varsity Blonds extinct?
The teams sort out and Christian starts against BPJ. Fans rally, BPJ dares Christian to talk bad on his late father now. But then Christian tags out to Luchasaurus. BPJ rushes in, into a HEADBUTT! Luchasaurus looms over BPJ, drags him up, and shoves him at Griff! Griff tags in, circles with Luchasaurus, and Griff dodges Luchasaurus to ROLLING ELBOW! And ROLLING ELBOW again! Luchasaurus stays up, BPJ tags in, ROLLING ELBOW and SUPERKICK! But Luchasaurus is still standing?! The Blonds run, double shoulder tackle but Luchasaurus just rebounds to DOUBLE LARIAT!
Fans boo as Luchasaurus drags BPJ up in a choke grip. Luchasaurus gives BPJ a CHOKE SLAM! And then he drags Griff up to choke grip and CHOKE SLAMÂ onto BPJ! Christian tags in to pick at the bones like a vulture, cover, Christian and Luchasaurus win!
Winners: Christian Cage & Luchasaurus, by pinfall
Captain Charisma smiles, but then he tells Luchasaurus to hoist him up. They mock how JB would ride on Luchasaurus’ shoulders, but wait! IS THAT JUNGLE BOY!? YES IT IS!! Christian tells Luchasaurus to go after him, but JB has a chair! The former friends stare down, who swings first? Luchasaurus MOVES ASIDE! He was only with Christian as long as JB wasn’t around! JB gets in, Christian runs away! JB pursues Christian into the crowd and up the stairs! Fans are thunderous, Jurassic Express rides again! When and where will Captain Charisma face the karma he’s collected?
Backstage interview with Gunn Club.
Lexi Nair is with Billy, Austin and Colten and says last week, The Acclaimed challenged them to a match, only for the Gunn Club to reject it. Why? Billy says, “Yo, listen!” Colten asks, “Why would we accept a match when we carried them for months? And by the way, we have cut them out of our lives.” Austin says he is sick of Max Caster putting them in his raps every single week, so here’s what will happen. Friday on Rampage, Austin VS Caster 1v1, IN A RAP BATTLE! Winner gets to pick the stipulations on their tag match: the when, the where, the what, but Austin’s in a rut. Heh, he’s already warmed up, dawg! But will Austin even touch Platinum Max on the mic when there’s a grudge match on the line?
Good ol’ JR joins commentary!
Jim Ross is here, so you know it’s the second hour! And yes, it’s gonna be a slobber knocker!
FTW Championship Open Challenge: Ricky Starks VS Cole Karter!
Absolute Ricky Starks put out the word, and that word reached this diamond in the rough even in Orlando, Florida! But will Cole use this pressure to turn into gold? Or will Starks show he’s not even worth two dimes in AEW?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who truly embodies the FTW mindset!
Starks and Karter circle, fans rally up, and many chant for “RICKY! RICKY!” Ricky poses, Karter rushes in, but Starks kicks low and CLUBS Karter! Starks CHOPS Karter, bumps him off buckles and ROCKS him with a right! Fans fire up as Ricky air guitars then he whips corner to corner to back elbow hard! Starks whips Karter back the other way, Karter bounces off into a LARIAT! Starks poses extra hard, drags Karter up, but Karter fires off haymakers! Fans boo but Karter whips and DROPKICKS Starks down! Karter bumps Starks off buckles, whips him corner to corner but Starks reverses.
Karter BOOTS back, hops up, and CROSSBODIES! Starks staggers up, Karter clotheslines him out to the apron, then DECKS him to the floor! Starks staggers up and is shocked! He wants a break but Karter eggs him on as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Starks steadies himself, the ring count climbs, but Starks gets back in. Karter is raring to go, but the ref keeps him back. Karter still rushes in, but Starks FLAPJACK HOTSHOTS him down! Starks suckered Karter, and now stomps him down! Starks hops up to FALLING ELBOW! Starks stands over Karter, drags him up by his arm, and scoops to SLAM him down. Starks then runs the ropes, for the ABSOLUTE ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Starks slaps Karter around for kicking out, then he stalks Karter to a corner. Fans rally for Starks but Karter throws body shots. Starks ROCKS Karter, and again, and then brings him around to wrench.
Karter ROCKS Starks but Starks kicks low. Starks knuckle locks, CHOPS Karter, then goes up and up for a bit of Old School! Starks shows off a bit, then leaps to CLUB Karter down! Starks flexes and fans fire up! Starks then covers, TWO! Starks keeps on Karter with a chinlock and grinds him down. Karter endures, Starks thrashes him around, but Karter fights up to his feet. Karter throws body shots but Starks CHOPS him off his feet! Fyter Fest returns to single picture, Starks whips Karter to a corner but Karter reverses and now Starks bounces off buckles into a LARIAT! Karter rallies with more clotheslines, then BOOTS Starks down!
Fans boo but Karter grins as he brings Starks up to ripcord and ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Karter is frustrated but he cools off and waits on Starks to get up. Fans rally for Starks, Karter reels Starks in and suplexes. Starks slips out, spins Karter around, gets him up, but Karter slips off and shoves. Starks dodges, Karter hurdles the spear! Fireman’s carry, T K O!! But Karter isn’t done there, he goes up top! 450 FLOPS as Starks moves! SPEAR!! Cover, Starks wins!
Winner: Ricky Starks, by pinfall (still FTW Champion)
Taz’s belt stays with Taz’s guy, and Starks wants a mic. Starks says, “Atlanta! Wow. While that was my very first challenge, I came out on top. But guess what? I got a little bit more in the tank, baby. And I’m feeling like this is the right time to keep it going. So, for the guy right here in the yellow Wu-Tang shirt, this is for you! Let’s get another challenge out here!” Taz doesn’t get what Starks is up to, but here comes DANHAUSEN! Fans fire up as the Very Nice, Very Evil Overlord is here with a mic!
“RICHARD! It is I, Danhausen! Danhausen heard you had some sort of open challenge for that wonderful FTW Championship or some sort. So Danhausen would like to accept that challenge RIGHT NOW!” Fans wanna see it, too! Starks says whoa, hold on. When he said it was the right time, he didn’t mean right now. C’mon, guys, give him a break. Starks needs time to get right. So how about this? Next week, Dynamite, go watch it at home, it will be ABSOLUTE STARKS VS “MEH~ DANHAUSEN!” for THE FTW Championship! Starks still accepts Danhausen as his challenger, but will waiting seven days fail to save Starks from a curse?
Backstage interview with Athena, Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale.
Schiavone knows this was meant to be a Six Woman Tag, but Stokely Hathaway told Kris to sit this one out. Yeah, it’s pretty obvious why, and Kris even bops herself on the head to remind us of when she bopped Stokely. But as Willow sees it, Leila Grey not being here tonight is a sign. Athena agrees. This is an opportunity to reevaluate what they all want here in AEW. For instance, that AEW Women’s Championship would look amazing on Kris. And then the AEW TBS Championship would go around Athena’s waist. Yeah, that’s a good idea. So don’t worry, Willow & Athena got this! They can crush some baddies! Hands in, c’mon!
Athena puts her hand in, then Kris puts hers in, one, two, three, CRUSH the Baddies! But will Athena & Willow be able to serve up Jade Cargill’s first loss in AEW period?
Dynamite returns with Schiavone back in the ring.
He introduces the simultaneous ROH, AAA and IWGP Tag Team Champions who will defend those ROH titles at Death Before Dishonor in Best 2 Out of 3 Falls, it’s F T R!! Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood, the #ThreeBeltTopGuys, make their way out and Atlanta fires up. FTR joins Schiavone in the ring, and Schiavone brings up the fact FTR VS Briscoes is a rematch from perhaps one of the greatest tag title matches in 2022. Cash says first off, he’s never going to get used to that kind of reaction from the fans, so he thanks them for that. Second, Cash isn’t sure if anyone here knows this, but 2022 has been a decent year for FTR.
FTR has had big moments, big matches, and perhaps no other match was bigger than Supercard of Honor, because for the first time ever, FTR stood across from Jay & Mark Briscoe and they went to war! No match was bigger than that, until this Saturday, Death Before Dishonor, FTR VS Briscoes II. Cash respects everything the Briscoes have done in tag team wrestling these past 20 YEARS. But… ROH DBD, 2 outta 3 falls, all that respect for the Briscoes won’t let the Briscoes take what FTR has worked to get the ROH titles, or any of the titles they have! FTR will still respect the Briscoes, but if #DemBoys think they’re leaving the champions, they’ll have to take the belts from FTR’s cold, dead hands!
Dax sets down all his belts so that he can say, “There’s this five year old girl back home, and her parents took her to this routine check-up at the doctor’s, and he was listening to her chest, and listening to her back, and he heard something weird. It was an arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat. And the doctor said, ‘Hey, don’t worry, parents, just go over to the cardiologist, just get some x-rays, get a CT scan, an MRI, we’ll see what’s going on.'” So the family did that, and it turns out the little girl had a hole in her heart. The doctor told the parents that if this little girl fought hard, she could overcome this and that hole would close on its own.
But if not, they’d have to do open heart surgery, a big risk for a five year old. Fast forward three years, the girl is now eight and she goes back to the cardiologist to do the x-rays and the MRI again. The hole is completely closed! Fans cheer for that happy ending because that little girl worked and fought her ass off to make herself healthy. And yes, that little girl is Dax’s own daughter. Fans cheer even more knowing that, and Dax says that if his little girl will fight that heart for something that isn’t promised to her, well then Daddy’s gotta do the same! Saturday night, Daddy Dax is gonna fight that hard to bring home the ROH World Tag Team Championships and a legacy his daughter can be proud of!
Fans cheer for FTR again, and Dax continues to say that he loves them, too. Saturday night, ROH DBD on PPV, “Briscoes, I’m gonna fight like an eight year old girl. And I’ma beat your ass! Top Guys, out!” Cash & Dax are fired up and ready to fight like never before! Will they get that two fall victory to stay triple champions?
Backstage interview with Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh.
Sonjay has the shark fin on his head for Shark Week as Lexi Nair says that also at ROH Death Before Dishonor, Lethal challenges Samoa Joe for the ROH World Television Championship. But… Christopher Daniels did also- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is Lexi bringing up the Fallen Angel? Sonjay doesn’t care about Christopher Daniels! Saturday, live on PPV, Lethal becomes the NEW ROH TV Champion! And it’s a shame they have to wait for Saturday to do that, because Lethal would’ve done it tonight, would’ve done it last week, but Samoa Joe just doesn’t show up for work. What is going on here?
But wait! Christopher Daniels is here and he says he’s going to explain something to Lethal! Joe isn’t going to come here and waste his breath talking to Lethal, he’ll just get his job done at DBD! But if Lethal wants to get into the ring, Daniels will be waiting on Rampage! Talk tough then! What the hell is with that guy? How dare he interrupt them! Will Lethal and the Fallen Angel battle it out before Lethal and Joe finally have it out?
Athena & Willow Nightingale VS The Baddies!
Whether because Stokely is afraid of getting bopped or because Leila Grey still hasn’t been accepted into the group, this goes from 3v3 to 2v2. And while making their entrances, Stokely has the mic to cut the music and say he has good news and bad news! The bad news: Leila was unable to compete tonight. Jade pretends to shed a tear, but Stokely says the good news is that, with special thanks to the Cochran Law Firm of Atlanta, Kris is BANNED FROM RINGSIDE! Guess what? Ain’t gonna be no head slapping up in here!
Jade says boo hoo for them. Hotlanta has Jermaine Dupri in the house, they’ve got The Baddies in the house, and Jade’s family in the house! This is Jade’s territory, and she is gonna show us how she was #ThatBitch, is #ThatBitch, and will always be #ThatBitch. Atlanta cheers on their own, but will having homefield advantage fail to be an advantage?
The teams sort out, Athena starts against Jade, this could be a TBS title preview. They circle, approach, but Jade dodges and dusts herself off. Kiera tags in, she and Athena tie up. Kiera arm-drags but then Athena arm-drags back, and Athena dodges but so does Kiera. Athena ducks a kick, Kiera jumps a sweep, but Kiera throws Athena by her hair, only for Athena to kip right up! Athena ROCKS Kiera and puts her in a corner! Athena taunts Jade, storms up on Kiera, and she puts Kiera in the corner. Tag to Willow and fans fire up. Kiera shoots in, waistlocks, but Willow pries free to switch and shove. They ram shoulders, but Willow flexes!
Fans fire up, Kiera gets a leg and trips Willow! Things speed up, Willow swings but Keira ducks but Willow dodges the dropkick! Somersault senton then a BASEMENT SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Willow drags Kiera over, tags Athena, and Willow scoop SLAMS Kiera, to then scoop Athena, to SLAM her onto Kiera! Fans fire up as Athena covers, TWO!! Kiera survives and Stokely seethes, but Jade ignores Athena’s taunts. Kiera shoves Athena away and Jade gets a cheap shot in! So Athena DECKS her for it! Athena dodges Kiera, throws her out, then tags Willow. Willow hurries to the apron to DOUBLE BLOCKBUSTER the Baddies!
Fans fire up with Willow as she sets the Baddies up for Athena. Athena goes up and out to CROSSBODY onto everyone! Fans fire up with Athena and Willow while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Willow puts Kiera in, hurries after her, and drags her up to wrench. Tag to Athena, she goes up the corner and CLUBS Kiera’s arm! Athena wrenches Kiera, tags Willow, YANKS the arm, and then Willow goes up to CLUB Kiera’s arm! Willow drags Kiera up, wrenches again, tags Athena back in, and Athena KICKS the arm! Kiera staggers away but Athena is after her and that bad arm. Another wrench, and then Athena knuckle locks. Athena goes up but Kiera YANKS her down and SUPERKICKS her! Tag to Jade and Jade EuroUppers Athena to a corner. Jade dribbles and runs, to DUNK on Athena! Jade whips Athena corner to corner, then DUNKS on her again!
Jade wrenches Athena and pump handles, FLIPPING FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Athena survives and Stokely is upset, but Jade drags Athena over to tag Kiera. The Baddies mug Athena, Kiera fires off haymakers but Athena forearms! Kiera snapmares Athena to KICK her on the back. Cover, TWO! Kiera drags Athena up, whips but Athena reverses, only for Kiera to tilt-o-whirl DDT! Athena flounders to a corner, Kiera runs in, BOOT WASH! Cover, ROPEBREAK! Athena holds on quite literally while Fyter Fest returns to single picture. Willow rallies the fans but Kiera drags Athena up and over.
Athena throws body shots, fireman’s carries, and DEATH VALLEY DRIVERS! Hot tag to Willow! She DECKS Jade, CLOBBERS Kiera, then CLOBBERS Kiera again! Willow CHOPS and CHOPS and whips Kiera, then hit a SPINEBUSTER! High stack but Jade breaks it! Jade throws Willow out, then dares Athena to bring it.

Jade BOOTS Athena down! Athena goes to a corner, Jade runs in, but Athena BOOTS her crossover away!

Jade is still spotless, even in tag team competition! But will the Fallen Goddess rise again like the moon to eclipse #ThatBitchShow?
Backstage interview with #ThunderStorm.
Schiavone is with Toni Storm & the AEW Women’s World Champion, Thunder Rosa, but has an announcement, too. Fight for the Fallen 2022, in support of Oceana, the non-profit organization dedicated to defending marine life and the world’s oceans, will hold an AEW Women’s World Championship match, Rosa VS Miyu Yamashita. Rosa is excited to have this match because she knows Miyu is the best of the East, the best of Japan, and Miyu is exactly what everyone says she is. But Rosa wants her to know, in both Spanish, Japanese and English, the title is staying home with Rosa!
But of course, Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter have to invade. Britt says less Rosa promos! Take this mic away. But good luck next week. JK, hope you lose! But we should also give the people what they really want. On Rampage, it will be Hayter and Yours Truly, Britt Baker, DMD. See you Friday. Will the Doctor and her assistant get back on track with the finale of Fyter Fest?
Speaking of Rampage: Fyter Fest!
Not only will we see Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter back in action, but after the brawl earlier tonight, John Silver & Hangman Page take on The Butcher & The Blade! Will the Cowboy and the Meat Man avenge Reynolds? Plus, it’s a showdown of Matt Sydal’s students as we get Lee Moriarty VS Dante Martin! Yes, there’s also Max Caster VS Austin Gunn in a Rap Battle, but ALSO, Jay Lethal VS Christopher Daniels in a Death Before Dishonor tune-up! Will Lethal make the Fallen Angel regret standing up for Samoa Joe?
The ring crew prepares the arena for the main event.
The ring ropes are being wrapped with barbed wire, and the shark cage is being lowered! The Jericho Appreciation Society will be stuck inside that cage so they can’t help Chris Jericho against Eddie Kingston, will they have no choice but to watch the Mad King bleed the Painmaker dry?
Barbed Wire Everywhere Deathmatch: Eddie Kingston VS “The Painmaker” Chris Jericho!
AEW returns and even Justin Roberts’ mic has barbed wire on it! Now THAT is “barbed wire everywhere.” The JAS is forced to make their entrance and be put inside the cage! Daniel Garcia, Jake Hager, Matthew Menard and Angelo Parker don’t like it, but AEW management is making them, so they have no choice. Ruby Soho is watching from ringside, she is the keeper of the key and the lift on that cage! And she hoists the JAS up high for all to see. But now, the PAINMAKER makes his entrance! And now Eddie Kingston makes his entrance, arms wrapped for a brawl! And he snatches Justin Robert’s barbed wire covered mic, to BASH Jericho with it!
The ref rings the bell to get this on record and fans are fired up already as we literally hear every SMACK of the mic! Eddie checks, “Is this on?” Fans cheer, “YES~!” Eddie tells Jericho, “You’re gonna bleed! Shark Week!” With the shameless plug taken care of, Eddie goes back to SCRAPING Jericho with the barbed wire mic! Then he punches the wound, and digs his fingers into it! Fans are thunderous for Eddie as he throws his shirt off. Jericho bails out but Eddie pursues, to CHOKE him with his shirt! Eddie drags Jericho around and BITES his head! Eddie is like a shark as he goes after the blood!
Eddie punches away on Jericho, SMACKS him off the timekeeper’s table, but Jericho grabs the ring bell! Jericho SMACKS Eddie with it, and yes! The bell has barbed wire around it, too! Jericho SMACKS Eddie with the bell again, then puts it back to bring Eddie around. Jericho finds a table with barbed wire all over it, but Eddie blocks the bump! Eddie resists, but Jericho still pushes him down. Eddie throws body shots, and he SMACKS Jericho off the barbed wire table! Jericho is already bleeding but Eddie is going to make him bleed more! Eddie punches the wound, puts Jericho in the ring, and fans fire up as Eddie throws more haymakers!
Eddie drags Jericho up and fans fire up as he whips Jericho into the barbed wire ropes! Jericho writhes but fans want more! Eddie obliges, he wipes Jericho’s blood all over his chest, and he brings over another barbed wire covered table! Eddie sets that in place, and then he SCRAPES Jericho’s forehead off the barbed wire ropes! Eddie finds a chair wrapped in barbed wire, and he SMACKS Jericho on the back! And then SMACKS him again! Eddie throws more punches into the bloody forehead, then he reels Jericho in. Jericho resists the bomb, throws body shots and forearms, then hoists Eddie up top!
Jericho throws more hands, ROCKS Eddie, then climbs up! Jericho stands up to SUPER STEINER Eddie onto the barbed wire table! Eddie’s legs are caught up in the steel while Dynamite goes picture in picture!
The ref checks on Eddie, helps him get free, but Jericho storms over to rain down fists on Eddie! Jericho then drags Eddie up and back suplexes him onto the barbed wire! Now Eddie’s back gets scraped up! Ruby can barely watch! Jericho pushes Eddie around, has the legs, and he turns him, WALLS OF JERICHO on top of barbed wire! Eddie endures being bent and scraped, and he fights up out of the barbed wire to grab at Jericho’s leg! Jericho falls, Eddie turns things back over, and he kicks Jericho away into the barbed wire ropes! Jericho writhes and Eddie again has to be freed from the barbed wire.
Jericho hobbles, Eddie manages to stand, but he is wary of the barbed wire nearby. Eddie throws haymakers but Jericho throws them back and Fyter Fest returns to single picture. They throw hands, Eddie RAKES Jericho’s eyes! Eddie whips Jericho into more barbed wire ropes! Eddie drags Jericho up, fans fire up and Eddie CROTCHES Jericho on the top rope! Jericho’s fireballs are getting scraped up! Jericho gets himself free but that hurts his leg. Eddie makes room for the one barbed wire table, and he throws hands on Jericho. Eddie joins Jericho on the apron, they brawl up there, and Eddie gets the edge with a flurry of fists.
Eddie reels Jericho in, lines up the shot, and SUPERPLEXES Jericho through the barbed wire table!! It wasn’t without its double-edged nature as Eddie gets some wires to the back, but fans lose their minds as Jericho is stuck in the barbed wire thread! The ref helps get Jericho up, but here comes TAY CONTI! The Blackbelt Brazilian isn’t officially part of the Jericho Appreciation Society, so she was exempt from the shark cage punishment! She rushes down to ringside and brawls with Ruby! Tay tackles Ruby, rains down forearms, but here comes Anna Jay! Anna drags Tay off Ruby and the friends argue. But then Anna DECKS Ruby!!
Fans boo as Number 99 betrays one friend to reunite with another, and TayJay POSTS Ruby! Anna then grabs the cage controls and presses the lower button! Fans boo as Tay snatches the key and unlocks the cage! The JAS is freed, they get to the ring and attack Eddie! They stomp away on Eddie 4v1! But here comes the friends of Eddie Kingston! Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, and Ortiz with a MADBALL SOCK! They fight the JAS at ringside, Claudio suplexes Parker and Moxley throws hands on Hager! Ortiz SMACKS Jericho with that madball, Eddie reels Jericho in for an EXPLODER through a barbed wire table!! Cover, TWO!?!?
No one can believe Jericho survives, but Eddie grabs a chair! Eddie aims, but Jericho hits a CODE BREAKER! double-edged as the chair still hits Jericho in the face! Jericho crawls to a cover, TWO!! Jericho checks his nose, that is fine but he still has blood from his forehead. Jericho gets the chair to SMACK Eddie! Eddie guarded with his arm but the arm just takes damage now! Jericho SMACKS Eddie’s knee, SMACKS his arms, and then sets the chair on Eddie’s body. Jericho runs to the ropes and springboards, LIONSAULTÂ but Eddie CHUCKS the chair! The chair takes Jericho outta the air! Jericho sputters and clutches his legs, he stands up into the URAKEN!! Cover, TWO!?!?!
Eddie is furious and he hurries out to get some loose barbed wire! He wraps Jericho up in it, for a BARBED WIRE STRETCH PLUM!!! Jericho endures, but SAMMY GUEVARA appears! And he SUPERKICKS Eddie down!! The Spanish God is back after Blood & Guts II, and he rains down fists on Eddie! Jericho wraps his arm in barbed wire while Sammy sets Eddie up! But Eddie whips Sammy, only for Sammy to reverse and send Eddie into a BARBED WIRE JUDAS EFFECT!!! Cover, Jericho wins!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall
The Painmaker stays undefeated in AEW, but it took everything Jericho had in AEW, from the JAS to the extended family! Sammy sets Eddie up again, and Jericho aims the barbed wire. But Eddie LOW BLOWS Sammy, and he whips Jericho into Sammy! But then Sammy saves Jericho from the Uraken! Eddie tosses Sammy out and pursues Jericho to the apron. HIP TOSS onto the barbed wire mattress! Straight out of Omega VS Moxley from Full Gear 2019, Kingston throws Jericho into a spider web and Jericho is convulsing! Eddie made Jericho bleed, but he didn’t win the war. Is this blood feud going to continue? What more can they possibly do to each other?!
My Thoughts:
What an awesome episode for Dynamite! Great opener from Brody VS Darby, but I figured Brody would win. And of course Sting and Malakai get involved. This is of course setting up House of Black VS Sting & Darby and that is going to be awesome stuff. And Miro showing up was also intriguing. His sunglasses looked like it had two different kinds of lenses, maybe to hide a shiner, or maybe to hide Miro’s one eye mutating like how Malakai Black and Julia Hart have. Best Friends VS Mox & Yuta was great stuff, especially with Cassidy and Regal on commentary. Cassidy finally got angry, I would love to see Cassidy VS Yuta at some point. Maybe even Cassidy VS Moxley for the Interim Championship at All Out if CM Punk isn’t ready to come back yet.
We got a great ROH World Championship vignette, but that feels like a sampler from a full Countdown type special. I said on the AEW Dark article, I won’t be able to get Death Before Dishonor covered, but that is one wild card. Speaking of which, great promo from FTR. Cash & Dax are all fired up, 2 outta 3 falls could make it go either way, but I’d be surprised if FTR lost the titles while ROH still isn’t quite put back together. The interview promo turning into a brawl between Butcher, Blade, Dark Order and Hangman was decent, but the resulting tag match will be great. I would think Hangman & Silver win, mostly because Hangman needs to get going again.
Great segment with Swerve In Our Glory, Sterling and Nese. Good plug of some celebrity friends, and Sterling is 0-2 against cakes. I don’t know if Sterling is going to be dragged into another tag match, but someone has to team with Nese if he thinks he can take on Swerve & Keith. Christian & Luchasaurus of course destroy the Varsity Blonds, but I’m surprised Jungle Boy returned now. And I’m also surprised Luchasaurus turned back to Face so quickly, but it was also really fun that they did it this way. JB will surely get a big win over Christian at All Out, and then maybe Jurassic Express gets back in the tag title scene. Swerve & Keith VS JB & Luchasaurus 2v2 would be pretty awesome.
Fun little promo from the Gunn Club to call out The Acclaimed, but we all know that rap battle is going Caster’s way. And then The Acclaimed will come up with a tag stipulation, probably for All Out, and then they’ll win that to also make a move up towards the tag titles. Great promo from Starks referencing that Cole Karter was Two Dimes Troy Donovan in NXT, and we got a very good match out of them. But of course Starks retains, and we’re getting a great match for the FTW title in Starks VS Danhausen. I would love if Danhausen found a way to win, because then Team Taz will make Hook choose between them and #Hookhausen.
Good promo from Willow, Athena and Kris to respond to the change from trios to duo tag, and same for Stokely and Jade. Really good match out of Athena & Willow VS Jade & Kiera, but I feel like Kiera and Athena had the trickier time meshing. Of course Jade wins, but of course Willow takes the loss, we’re still going to see Jade VS Athena for the TBS Championship. Meanwhile, I’m starting to feel like Rosa & Storm when it comes to Britt & Hayter always showing up around them. Britt could be feuding with someone else to build up other Faces, but of course Britt is going to go right for the top champion instead. Anyway, Rosa VS Miyu Yamashita happening next week is great stuff, but I would think Rosa wins, and Rosa will end up facing either Britt or Storm at All Out.
Good promo from Lethal, Sonjay and Christopher Daniels. And I totally expected Lethal VS Daniels to happen, so good to see that happening. That will be a really good match but of course Lethal is going to win so he has momentum going into Death Before Dishonor. But I would love for Samoa Joe to show up on Rampage to get at Lethal before their match and really muddy the math. And of course, that main event was wild! Well, it was a bit cheesy for “The Painmaker” to pop out of the Codyvator like that, and a bit silly but also really clever to have barbed wire on a mic and on the ring bell, but other than that, wild stuff.
I can’t believe Anna Jay joins Tay and the JAS so soon! And all the overbooking was fine, it was only natural with the JAS being nearby in that cage. But then Sammy reverses Eddie’s reversal, what kind of BS is that? Just let Sammy feed Eddie to Jericho’s Judas Effect at that point. Jericho of course wins with all the different assists, but then Eddie stands tall, so this has to continue. I am not just kayfabing, I have no idea where they’re going next. Maybe an I Quit match? It won’t physically outdo this, but it’s about the character work of neither man wanting to give the other the satisfaction. Plus, twice we’ve had Eddie get Jericho in this Stretch Plum and it not finish things, so maybe third time is the charm and Eddie makes Jericho say “I Quit” at All Out.
My Score: 9.2/10

Daniel Garcia VS Johnny TV w/ MXM Collection!
Speaking of the TNT Championship, it will be Red Death challenging Jack Perry for that gold. But before he becomes the Face of TNT, can he prove to Johnny and the world that he is #TVReady?
The bell rings and Garcia circles with Johnny. They tie up, go around, and Johnny powers Garcia to a corner. The ref counts, Johnny lets off slowly, but then he takes a swing! Garcia dodges, headlocks and grinds Johnny. Johnny powers up and out, then he RUNS Garcia over! The fans are torn but Garcia gets up to shake that off.

Wait, cameras have caught up and now Perry is brawling with Menard in the back! Garcia hurries to the back, but Perry throws Menard into railing! And SMACKS him with a floor sign! Perry stalks Menard while commentary says AEW is coming unglued! Things have moved to the parking lot, and Perry SMACKS Menard off the Scapegoat bus! “You think he’s ready? You think he’s ready!? Then you’re what’s holding him back. But I’m gonna fix that.”
Perry shoves Menard aside, then goes into the bus. Perry brings out a tow chain, with a hook on it! Perry CLUBS Menard, then hooks him up to the back of the bus! Between the chain and the bus exhaust, Menard is coughing and sputtering. Perry tells Menard, “We all have to sacrifice.” Perry then goes into the bus, but Garcia runs up! Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Komander manages to get in at 7 of 10! Shelton stomps Komander, then brings him up from the apron side. Shelton has Komander literally on the ropes, to then BOOT him down! Komander hits the floor and MVP says it’s fine, he can stay down.
Shelton goes out after Komander, drags him up, and tosses him back into the ring. Shelton stalks Komander, then clamps on with a chinlock. Komander endures, but Shelton grinds him and twists him into a stretch. Komander continues to endure while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Shelton whips Komander to FLAPJACK! Komander lands hard and sputters, but Shelton stands on him for a cocky cover. ONE, but Shelton smirks. The fans rally while Shelton stalks Komander to a corner. Shelton stomps Komander, hoists him up top, and slaps him around! Komander SLAPS back! And BOOTS! Komander adjusts position, dodges Shelton, and kicks the legs out! Shelton falls back, Komander goes up! MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Komander rises! Komander storms up but Shelton kicks low. Shelton suplexes, but Komander slips around! SLEEPER, then ELEVATED COBRA TWIST!
Shelton endures, powers out, but Komander handsprings through the hip toss! Komander runs, tilt-o-whirls, DEJA VU RANA! Shelton tumbles out and the fans fire up with Komander! Komander hurries to a corner and climbs! Komander tightrope walks the 20 feet, to then SPACE MAN MOONSAULT! Down goes Shelton and the fans are thunderous! Komander hurries to get Shelton up but Shelton ELBOWS him away. Shelton slides into the ring himself, but Komander follows. MVP is furious as Komander runs, 619! Shelton is down and Komander goes up again! MVP shouts at Shelton while Komander aims.
Komander tightrope walks again but has to bail out as Shelton moves! Shelton waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! Komander flounders to a corner, Shelton runs up to STEP-UP KNEE! And then a SUPERKICK! Komander gets folded up and MVP says finish it already! Shelton hauls Komander up, clinches, and hits PAYDIRT! Cover, Shelton wins!
Winner: Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall
MVP stands with Shelton in the victory, but Komander definitely give more of a fight than either man expected. MVP then says we should leave with a souvenir! Shelton grabs at Komander’s mask! Abrahantes gets in the ring to stop Shelton, but then he sees MVP there. MVP grabs Abrahantes by the neck! MVP LARIATS Abrahantes down! MVP may be a manager now, but he can still hit other managers hard. Will nothing stop The Hurt Syndicate from owning AEW?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up. Jameson gives all the introductions, and looking at “P-P-Powerhouse,” all you people are expecting a meat madness match! You want meat?! Then yeah, chant it up! But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bronson pumps up and puffs up, but he’s looking lean compared to Hobbs. Bronson runs, RAMS Hobbs, but Bronson bounces off! The fans fire up but the Savages coach Bronson up. Hobbs says stop playing and bring it! Hobbs SLAPS Bronson, so Bronson really fires up! Bronson kicks low, and says, “How ’bout that, Hobbs?!” Bronson runs, but Hobbs dodges and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Hobbs brings Bronson around. Scoop and SLAM, and the fans fire up with Hobbs! Hobbs then brings Bronson up to scoop and SLAM again! Bronson writhes, the fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!”
Hobbs drags Bronson up, scoops and SLAMS again! Bronson writhes while Hobbs looms over him. Hobbs brings Bronson up, but Bronson wrenches out to ROCK Hobbs! Bronson fires haymakers, then CLUBS away on Hobbs’ back! The fans rally, Bronson reels Hobbs in, but Hobbs suplexes Bronson first! Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!
Hobbs shakes the ropes, and the straps come down! The fans fire up but Jameson talks trash on the apron. Hobbs DECKS him! Boulder runs in?! Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! The ref can’t believe what’s going on as Hobbs torture racks Bronson! ARGENTINE RACK! Bronson TAPS, Hobbs wins! And drops Bronson on Boulder!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by submission
Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start. Mortos steps up and the fans sing while the bell rings. Bowens and Mortos circle, tie up, and Mortos powers Bowens to a corner.

Mortos distracts the ref, but Caster fires hands on Rush first! And Caster uses the cable! The fans cheer as Rush tastes his own medicine!

The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg.

Mortos stalks Caster to a corner while Private Party watches closely. Mortos SMACKS Caster again!

Billy and Bowens both protest, but Mortos wrenches Caster. Tag to Rush and LFI mugs Caster. Caster goes to a corner but Rush whips corner to corner. Rush runs up and feints the dropkick to SMACK Caster! Rush soaks up the cheers and jeers while he blows a kiss. Rush drags Caster up to snapmare and motorcycle stretch.

Bowens shouts, “EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED!” Bowens then goes up and aims, SUPER CROSSBODY onto Mortos! The fans fire up and Bowens hurries to put Mortos in. Cover, TWO! Mortos stays in this, but Bowens stays focused. Bowens fires forearms but Mortos hits back.
Bowens fires a flurry, then whips, but Mortos reverses. Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS Bowens down! The fans fire up but Caster MISSILE DROPKCIKS Mortos! Rush runs up, but Caster SUPERKICKS him! Caster runs at Rush, but Rush THROWS him into the corner! Bowens DECKS Rush! The fans fire up as all four men are down! Private Party likes this, too, as Billy coaches his guys. Jake also coaches LFI, and “This is Awesome!” Mortos blocks a shot to HEADBUTT Bowens down! Tag to Rush and Rush runs at the corner, only for Bowens to dodge! Bowens CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS away!
Bowens sits Rush down, mocks the tranquilo with some scissor fingers, but that pisses Rush off! Rush shoves Bowens, the hands start flying! Rush whips Bowens to a corner, to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Rush sits Bowens down to stomp away! The ref counts, Rush argues with him, but then goes corner to corner! Feint and BOOT! Rush gives a proper tranquilo, then he has the fans fired up. Bownes runs up, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Rush puts Bowens in the drop zone, goes up, SUPER SENTON FLOPS! Tag to Caster and he goes up! DIVING SPLASH! Cover, Mortos breaks it!

Mortos then runs at Caster, CANNONBALL MISSES! Hot tag to Bowens and he hits THE ARRIVAL on Mortos! MIC DROP from Caster!! Cover, ACCLAIMED WINS!
Winners: The Acclaimed, by pinfall (advance to Full Gear)
Private Party says alright, nice on Acclaimed! Billy helps Caster to his feet, but Caster is a bit squirrely. Caster calms down, and The Acclaimed all SCISSOR FINGER~! They’re in the Fatal 4, but will Caster & Bowens be the ones to become TWO-TIME TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?
Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!
Anna confiscates a monitor to SMACK Mariah on the back! Mariah falls into Schaivone’s arms, and Nigel is furiously jealous! Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up as Anna keeps going, and she sits the chair up nearby. Anna drags Mariah up, but Mariah fires body shots! DDTÂ onto the chair! Anna falls back while Mariah snarls. Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.
Mariah drags Anna up, for a SAIDO! Mariah then positions chairs before she fireman’s carries Anna. MADAYÂ on a chair! Cover, TWO!?! Anna survives and Mariah is furious! Mariah grits her teeth as she drags Anna up and reels her in. Anna fights free, kicks low, then has the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB onto the ladder!! The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first! Mariah bumps Anna off buckles, then SUPSER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS through the table!! Cover, TWO?!?! Anna survives and Mariah cannot believe it! But this is what winning the title with no safety net means for Anna! Mariah goes out, looks under the ring, and she brings out spare railing!?
Mariah pushes the railing into the ring, but she also brings some chairs over. Mariah sets the chairs up before she props the railing up like a ramp. Mariah adds more chairs, but Anna hits a BACKSTABBER first! Both women are down again, but Anna grabs herself some chairs. Anna finishes the project Mariah was working on, and the railing is now a platform! Anna drags Mariah over but Mariah HEADBUTTS first! Mariah then puts Anna on the railing, and looks to go through with her plan all along! The fans fire up as Mariah climbs, but Anna trips her up first! Anna climbs up, and she has Mariah on the very top! SUPERPLEXÂ on the railing!!!
The fans lose their minds as both women are wrecked on the steel bars! Nigel can’t bear to watch the replay! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Mariah rises up, but Anna flops out of the ring. Anna finds some BARBED WIRE! Anna looks to relive one of her highlights as she wraps the wire around her arm! Anna stalks Mariah, and has the BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER on!!! Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZEROÂ on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up! Daivari headlocks, Briscoe powers out, but Daivari RAMS Briscoe! Briscoe roars! Daivari runs and RAMS Briscoe again! And again! Then Daivari fires hands! But Briscoe blocks to ROCK Daivari! And ROCK him again! And again! REDNECK PALM STRIKES! Briscoe puts Daivari in a corner!
Briscoe rains down fists and the fans count to TEN! Briscoe hops down, the fans fire up, and Briscoe CLOBBERS Daivari! And CLOBBERS him again! Briscoe whips, Daivari reverses, but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up with Briscoe and he runs at the corner. LARIAT, and then FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Daivari survives but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe drags Daivari up, reels him in, but Daivari fights the underhooks! Daivari wrenches, dodges a lariat, and SUPERKICKS! Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?

Rampage returns and the bell rings. The fans rally as Azucar and Commander of the Skies circle, but Montel Vontavious Porter is watching backstage…? Who business could MVP and The Hurt Syndicate have here? Rocky and Komander tie up, Komander wrenches and wristlocks. Rocky rolls then DROPKICKS! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, then waits on Komander. The two reset, circle, and tie up again. Rocky waistlocks, SLAMS, then flips Komander, maybe a little too much. Rocky flips Komander over again but Komander kips up to arm-drag!

Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!
Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall
MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him!

Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!
Dante bobs ‘n’ weaves, shoves Ricochet, but Ricochet avoids the dropkick! Jackknife bridge, TWO as Dante bridges up! Dante spins Ricochet, but Ricochet turns that to a backslide! TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards! Dante ducks under, runs at Ricochet, but Ricochet goes up and over! Dante puts Ricochet on the apron but Ricochet ENZIGIRIS! Ricochet springboards again, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again.

Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up.

Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
