Winners: Malakai Black & Brody King, by pinfall
“The Kings of the Black Throne” just defeated the #4 ranked tag team in AEW, and they could easily be moving up towards those AEW World Tag Team Championships. But wait! DARBY ALLIN LEAPS OFF THE TUNNEL! He takes out Brody King and fires off fists! This is payback for that meet ‘n’ greet ambush! But Brody TOSSES Darby down the ramp, but wait! IT’S STIIIIING! The Icon is here to stare down Malakai and Brody, and Darby attacks Brody again! The Dark Father stares down Darby’s father figure and the fans are losing their minds!

Fans fire up, but Sting and Malakai stand down again. It is only a matter of time, when and where will we see the #RelentlessIcons take on the House of Black?
Miro speaks.
“My God… Did you make a deal with the devil to stop me? Because ever since that mist, I can feel these claws in my back bringing me down. Something is closing in around me, and I feel time is running out. Should I let the Pagans take me? Or should I rip off their heads and tear out their spines?! That’s what I don’t know anymore. All I know is, the darker it gets, the clearer I see you. So I ask you again, did you send the House of Black to destroy the Redeemer? Or to recruit me?” What is the answer to Miro’s question? And how will Miro respond?
ROH World Championship: Jonathan Gresham w/ Tully Blanchard Enterprises VS Lee Moriarty w/ Matt Sydal!
The Foundation fooled us all when he shook Tully Blanchard’s hand. That handshake wasn’t about setting up a tag match, it was about setting up Moriarty! But Gresham must still honor his word and defend this title, will the Octopus drag Moriarty to the bottom of the sea? Or will he be eaten alive by #TYGASTYLE?
Bobby Cruise makes the introductions, the belt is raised, and we will see if The Foundation is still standing after Fyter Fest!
The Code of Honor is still upheld, but then Moriarty trips Gresham right at the bell! Moriarty rains down forearms, Gresham gets away and Moriarty wants him to get in the ring! Tully has Gresham cool off first, and coaches him up. Gresham gets in the ring, he dodges Moriarty and kicks low. Gresham whips, Moriarty rolls off Gresham’s back, then SOBATS! And KNEES! Gresham goes down and bails out and Tully checks him again. Fans rally, Moriarty goes out and ROCKS Gresham with a forearm! And then another! And another, and another! Tully distracts Moriarty long enough for Gresham to kick back.
Gresham whips, but Moriarty reverses to send Gresham into railing! Moriarty adds an other forearm smash, then he fish bumps fans before stalking after Gresham. Moriarty CLUBS Gresham, puts him in the ring at 6 of 10, and Gresham wants mercy. The fans rally, Moriarty wants after Gresham, but Gresham uses the ref as a shield, before getting a cheap shot in! Gresham wrenches an arm, Moriarty ROCKS him with a forearm! Gresham CHOPS back, gest the arm and wrenches, but Moriarty ROCKS him again. Gresham CHOPS again, grabs the arm and wrenches, but Moriarty endures to ROCK Gresham again!

Gresham drops, spins, and trips Moriarty to then float to a headlock.
Gresham throws Moriarty with a takeover, then throws him again. Moriarty endures and headscissors, but Gresham kips free as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Gresham holds onto the bad arm, gets up and CLUBS it on the elbow! And CLUBS it again! Gresham drags Moriarty around, wrenches the bad arm again, and focuses on the wristlock and elbow.

Moriarty goes up the corner but Gresham SHOVES him down to the floor!
The ref starts a ring count while Sydal makes sure Tully stays away. Tully claims he’s keeping Sydal away, but the count is 5 of 10 already! Sydal coaches Moriarty but Gresham goes out and shoves Sydal down! Sydal can’t do anything because it’d disqualify Moriarty and Gresham knows it! Moriarty gets up and turns Gresham around to ROCK him again! And again! And then put him in the ring, firing up before he gest in. Gresham KICKS the bad arm, then arm-drags Moriarty down! Gresham nods and he gets the bad arm again. Moriarty uses a leg to fight back as Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and Gresham has both Moriarty’s arms trapped and is pulling on a leg! Moriarty endures but Gresham shifts this modified Boston Crab into a cradle, TWO!! Moriarty escapes, counters an arm-drag with an arm-drag, but Gresham headscissors back. Moriarty kips free, ducks ‘n’ dodges and BOOTS Gresham right in the face! Gresham clutches his nose and mouth while fans rally up. Gresham grabs the bad arm but Moriarty breaks free to SLAP and ROCK and KNEE, and ELBOW BREAKER! Moriarty whips Gresham to a corner, runs in and forearm smashes! Then a reel in, SAIDO SUPLEX!
Moriarty kips up and fans fire up! Moriarty clinches for more knees to Gresham, then HALF HATCH- NO, the bad arm holds Moriarty back, Gresham goes after the arm with an elbow! Gresham runs, Moriarty drops to DROPKICK! Moriarty hurries to get Gresham up, HALF HATCH! Bridging cover, TWO!! Gresham escapes and fans are thunderous! Moriarty grits his teeth, shakes the bad arm, and a standing count begins. Both men are still down at 5 of 10 but are rising up. Moriarty grabs at Gresham but Gresham TWEAKS the bad arm! Gresham waistlocks, Moriarty switches, Gresham switches, repeat!
Gresham trips Moriarty to drop knees on the arm! Then an omoplata to turn Moriarty over into another cradle, TWO!! Gresham wrenches but Moriarty shoots to schoolboy and bridge! TWO!!! Gresham ducks a kick and he RANAS, but Moriarty sunset flips through! Gresham pops through and jackknifes but Moriarty slips it back to a sunset! TWO!!! Gresham escapes again, blocks a boot, and stomps Moriarty’s foot! IRON OCTOPUS!! Moriarty drops as Gresham has him tied up, Moriarty taps! Gresham wins!
Winner: Jonathan Gresham, by submission (still ROH World Champion)
#TYGASTYLE could not survive and The Octopus keeps his tentacles on the title! Tony Schiavone joins Gresham and Tully in the ring to congratulate the champion. Gresham goes into ROH Death Before Dishonor as world champion, building upon his eight month reign. Gresham says yes, and did you see that win? That was tremendous. Schiavone is a true fan, the others don’t know what they’re talking about. But you will see Gresham’s face on TNT and AEW programing every week from now on! Why? Because he will outclass and outwrestle all of our favorites. Why? Because he’s the BEST wrestler, hold for hold, in the world!
Tully adds that Gresham did a fabulous job tonight! What we saw was a textbook class of scientific wrestling. Gresham is the best today, and maybe forever! Wait, who is this? The Blackpool Combat Club’s CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI! The Swiss Cyborg is in AEW, he was a staple in ROH, will he finally get himself that ROH World Championship?
Christopher Daniels speaks.
“As someone who has wrestled Samoa Joe countless times in his career, I have to applaud you, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Satnam Singh. Because the best time to talk tough about how you’re going to beat up Samoa Joe is when he’s not in the building, not even in the same state. But I can also tell you, as one of his best friends for over 20 years, when he finally gets his hands on you, Jay, he’s going to teach you one more lesson. And that’s gonna be how to get choked out at Death Before Dishonor! But if you keep putting his name in your mouth before then, maybe I’ll slap it out of your mouth!” The Fallen Angel is calling out Lethal, how will Lethal respond?
Athena & Kris Statlander VS Charlette & Robyn Renegade!
The Fallen Goddess and the Galaxy’s Greatest Alien called out The Baddies, and The Baddies promised they’ll be watching. Will Jade Cargill like what she sees? Or will Athena & Kris run though a couple Renegades to get at #ThatBitch?
Speaking of Baddies, Leila Grey sits with the Baddies (fans) of Savannah, Georgia. In fact, it seems Amber Nova and Ashley D’Amboise are Savannah Baddies, too. Anyway, in the ring, the Renegades talk trash to Kris & Athena, so Kris & Athena DOUBLE DROPKICK them down! Fans fire up, Kris grabs one and Athena the other to fire off haymakers in the corners! Kris & Athena coordinate, then whip the sisters into each other! Kris then sweeps the legs, causing one sister to hit a COMPLETE SHOT on the other! Then Kris SENTONS onto them both! Fans fire up and Kris drags Robyn(?) up into an Electric Chair while Athena climbs up! SUPER CODE BREAKER!!
Kris pushes Robyn(?) out, Athena has Charlette and now the match is official with the bell! Athena wrenches and BOOTS Charlette to then SAIDO! Athena fires up and so do the fans! Athena climbs, Charlette stands, for the O FACE!! Cover, Athena & Kris win!
Winners: Athena & Kris Statlander, by pinfall
But Leila Grey gets up on the apron to shout at Athena about how Jade and The Baddies won’t lose to her! But then Kris walks up right behind Leila. Kris TOSSES Leila in, Athena fires off forearms and so does Kris! Then they coordinate again, Electric Chair and Athena climbs. But here come THE Baddies, Jade and Kiera! They run down to the ring, Athena and Kris are ready! But Kiera kicks Kris’ leg out to BUZZSAW! Jade gets Athena in a pump handle to SLAM her down! The OG Baddies stand tall, making good on whatever trash Leila talked. Did Leila earn her keep? No, Jade and Kiera still get in her face about this. Will Leila ever earn the respect of #ThatBitch?
Backstage interview with Matt Sydal & Lee Moriarty.
Lexi Nair says that was a tough loss, but where do they go from here? Before Sydal or Moriarty can answer, Stokely Hathaway walks in. He asks Moriarty, “You’ve been in AEW for how long?” About a year. And he’s faced CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, that’s incredible. But shouldn’t he be doing more? Stokely does. This is a big opportunity coming his way. But let’s call a spade a spade. WHAT is Matt Sydal going to do for Moriarty? Well, first off, Stokely, Sydal is going to take this card, rip it up, and tell Stokely to sell it somewhere else. Moriarty doesn’t need Stokely because Sydal has the opportunity of a lifetime for him!
Stokely leaves and Sydal hopes Moriarty won’t entertain that offer for even a second. Because Sydal does have the opportunity of a lifetime. Next week on Rampage, no more facing guys who cheat! Moriarty faces a guy with heart and the true sprit of pro-wrestling: Moriarty VS #Inhuman Dante Martin! Dante walks in and says, “It’s peace, love and pro-wrestling.” Sydal and Moriarty shake hands on it, will the students of Sydal show everyone what pure pro-wrestling is all about?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring with Gunn Club.
Schiavone asks Billy, Austin & Colten that as fans have been wondering, what is going on between them and The Acclaimed? Fans taunt the Gunn Club with “ASS~ BOYS~!” Billy says he gets it, everyone is upset. Billy is upset, because everybody loves The Acclaimed. Billy loves them, too! He treated them like they were his own sons. Or rather, even better than his own sons. “But there just comes a time when Daddy Ass has the drop the hammer.” But wait! The Acclaimed are HERE! But they don’t have mics, either! No time for talking or rapping, Max Caster & Anthony Bowens storm right down to the ring!
Billy wants them to hold on, he already talked this out with Austin & Colten. He knows how they can all settle this and it’s very simple. Everyone here wants to see this one last time, and then both teams can go their separate ways. “Scissor me, Daddy Ass!” Fans chant, “Scissor Him!” but Bowens SUPERKICKS instead! Billy is down so the boys go at it! Austin and Bowens, Caster and Colten! Colten and Austin take big swings but miss, and now Caster and Bowens fire off big hands! They clothesline the Ass Boys out of the ring! Caster gets a mic to say “Yo! Yo! YO! YO! Listen…! Billy Gunn, you ain’t nothin’ but a ass****. Why you so big but you hung like a tadpole?
“Yo, and Ass Boys? More like Dumb and Dumber! Come back and fight us, you broke mother f-” Bowens stops Caster there before we go TV MA. “SAVANNAAAAAAAH~! If you wanna se The Acclaimed beat down the Gunn Club in a match right now, lemme hear you say ASS~ BOYS~!” “ASS~ BOYS~!” Austin says if they want the match right now, then NO! The Gunns leave, but when and where will they have to stick by their guns and take on The Acclaimed?
Mark Henry interviews tonight’s main eventers!
The World Strongest Man says that Andrade El Idolo chose Private Party to represent himself against the Lucha Brothers, but why? Andrade is a busy, busy man. This was Jose’s idea, but Andrade believes that Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen paid- Wait, are they getting paid for this or not? Hey, don’t interrupt Andrade. But they tried calling him and texting, WhatsApp, Facebook, MySpace, they even reached out to his pops. They saw the wedding photos, congratulations, but if they can’t rely on Andrade, they can rely on their world class talent. So tonight, spread the love. Private Party then mocks Cero Miedo but Penta and Fenix speak up.
Alex Abrahantes translates for English speakers: “Andrade, how quickly you forget about the culture of lucha libre. And you should know that removing the mask off of a luchador doesn’t make you better than us.” “And you’re a piece of trash!” Well, then there’s been enough talk. It’s time for the main event! Will Private Party earn their pay as they fight on behalf of La Faccion Ingobernable? Or will the be used as examples to Andrade and Rush?
Private Party w/ Andrade & Jose VS The Lucha Brothers w/ Alex Abrahantes!
To add insult to injury, Jose brings the stolen masks of Penta Oscuro and Rey Fenix with him as he and Andrade accompany Quen & Kassidy. The teams sort out, Kassidy starts with Penta, and fans rally up as the two approach. Penta wants Kassidy to listen. “CERO! MIEDO!” He shoves Kassidy down with it, but Kassidy gets up to tell Penta to listen. Kassidy reaches into his pants, and he mocks the Cero Miedo before he RAMS Penta into the corner! Quen helps Kassidy mug Penta, but they let off as the ref counts. The ref reprimands Kassidy but he misses Andrade’s cheap shot! Kassidy tags Quen, and Private Party double whip Penta.
Penta crisscrosses Private Party but Quen helps Kassidy SOBAT Penta! Kassidy then helps Quen go up to RANA Penta, but Penta handsprings through! Penta wags his finger, ducks their double clothesline, tag to Fenix! Fenix springboards but Private Party gets under! Penta SUPERKICKS Quen, Fenix SUPERKICKS Kassidy! The Lucha Brothers then mule kick the legs out, and “UNO! DOS! TRES!” DOUBLE SUPERKICKS collide as Private Party moves! Private Party then DOUBLE DROPKICK, Quen sending Penta out while Kassidy knocks Fenix down. The Lucha Bros regroup outside, Private Party builds speed, TOPE CONJILO SUICIDA IN STEREO!
Fans fire up and Kassidy says he’s ready to fight! Quen drags Fenix up and into the ring, climbs up a corner, and 450s, but he bails out as Fenix moves! Fenix somersaults to CUTTER! Cover, TWO! Fenix drags Quen over, tags in Penta, Quen fights back with haymakers, but Fenix blocks one and Penta SUPERKICKS! Fenix ROUNDHOUSEs, Penta mule kicks, “UNO! DOS! TRES!” DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Kassidy distracts the Lucha Bros to give Quen time to recover, and Quen whips Fenix out of the ring! Quen rushes Penta, Penta throws him out but Kassidy is there for SILLY STRING! Kassidy runs to triangle jump STUNNER Fenix down!
The ref reprimands and fans boo but Private Party soak up the heat. Quen stands on Penta at the ropes but lets off as the ref reprimands again. But again, the ref misses Andrade getting involved as he CHOKES Penta! Rampage goes picture in picture as El Idolo gets away with it.
Quen stomps and kicks Penta, drags him up and brings him over. Tag to Kassidy, he climbs up and Quen sets Penta up for DOUBLE STOMPS! Kassidy swaggers around, then kicks and stomps Penta more! Cover, ROPEBREAK! Kassidy is upset but he CLUBS Penta down. Kassidy stomps Penta more, drags him up, and TOSSES him out! Kassidy distracts the ref and Andrade RAMS Penta into railing! Kassidy goes out to fetch Penta and whip him into more railing! Kassidy mocks Cero Miedo again and lets Penta stay outside while he gets in the ring. The ref starts the ring count while Kassidy taunts Fenix.
Andrade sits near Penta but claims he won’t do anything. Penta crawls away, Quen taunts him, but Penta gets in the ring. Kassidy stomps away on Penta, drags him up and over, and bumps him off buckles. Kassidy RAMS into Penta again and again, then tags Quen. Fans rally but Quen runs in to ENZIGURI Penta down! Cover, TWO! Quen clamps onto Penta with a chinlock and body scissor. Penta endures, fans rally up, but Quen sits Penta up so he can pull at the mask! The ref reprimands, Quen drags Penta up and throws body shots against the ropes. The ref counts, Quen lets off, but Penta kicks back from below.
Quen stomps Penta, swivels his hips at him, then stands on Penta’s leg. Tag to Kassidy, he slingshot sentons! Kassidy flexes but Penta gets him for a facelock! Kassidy power sup to put Penta in the corner and fires off body shots! Tag to Quen as Rampage returns to single picture. Quen digs his boots in but fans still rally for Penta. The ref counts, Quen lets off Penta, and Kassidy gets in to bring Penta up. Feed to Quen but Penta SLINGBLADES first! Kassidy runs at Penta but into a tilt-o-whirl BACKBREAKER! Hot tag to Fenix! The Firebird runs in and DOUBLE KNEES Quen! Kassidy waistlocks but Fenix elbows free!
Fenix goes up the ropes to FLYING ARM-DRAG and DOUBLE STOMP Kassidy! Fenix drags Quen in to get him up, GORY ESPECIAL! But he’s not done there, Fenix walks over to Kassidy, GORY BOMB LEG DROP COMBO! Fans fire up and Fenix CLUBS Kassidy down. Fenix brings Kassidy up, puts him in a corner, and he CHOPS! And CHOPS! Fenix then hoists Kassidy up top, climbs up after him, but Kassidy fights. Kassidy shoves Fenix down but Fenix PELES and CHOPS! Fenix is up top again, but Quen hurries to Electric Chair! Kassidy adjusts, CROSSBODY DOOMSDAY! Cover, TWO!! Kassidy tries again, TWO!!
Kassidy is furious but Andrade and Jose tell him to stay on Fenix. Kassidy brings Fenix up, bumps him off Quen’s boot, then tag to Quen.

Rush can’t believe his help backfired! Fenix tags in, he drags Quen up, BLACK FIRE DRIVER!!! Cover, Lucha Brothers win!!
Winners: The Lucha Brothers, by pinfall
Not even El Toro Blanco could tip the scales! Fenix and Penta win and get their stolen masks back in the process! But will they get real revenge on LFI soon enough?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Rampage here to keep Fyter Fest 2022 moving! Silver & Reynolds VS House of Black was great stuff, Silver & Reynolds still looked great in defeat, but of course Malakai & Brody were winning. And then what a great surprise for Darby to fly off the tunnel! I didn’t even know he was up there! Sting comes out, too, and I actually like that he and Malakai had a stare down rather than a fight. Brody VS Darby 1v1 is coming, but I would think we’ll get Brody & Malakai VS Sting & Darby as a tag match for All Out. I’m also intrigued by Miro’s promo. They might be backing away from Malakai VS Miro so that the House of Black can have someone new while Buddy Matthews is out. Which is a shame, I was really hoping to see Malakai VS Miro on the road to the All Atlantic title.
Great promo from Christopher Daniels calling out Jay Lethal, and I wonder if this is just in case Samoa Joe can’t compete at Death Before Dishonor. Lethal VS Daniels will be an awesome match if it happens but I hope Joe can compete. We also got a great ROH World Championship match tonight, and I like that there was actually story to Gresham getting rocked by Moriarty’s strikes. Gresham was also ROH Pure Champion for a long time, so his strike game weakened, both offense and defense. Of course there was cheating with Gresham being Heel, but the feint to a nut chop was clever. Gresham retains and talks himself up, but now he’s up against Claudio at Death Before Dishonor!
I also like that there was another story established for Moriarty already. Stokely is wanting to branch out so that he can manage stars in both the AEW Women’s and AEW Men’s Divisions, and Moriarty is definitely a top prospect. Sydal trying to steer Moriarty away from Stokely by putting him up against Dante Martin is an interesting move, but also what an awesome match between two guys who are definitely the future of AEW and wrestling in general. I still feel like if Moriarty is leaving Sydal for any faction, it should be the Blackpool Combat Club because of his blend of technical and striking that isn’t too far off from Bryan Danielson or Claudio.
Great tag match from Athena & Kris VS Renegade Sisters, in that it was a really fun squash. But then the booking got stupid where Athena & Kris weren’t allowed to stand tall in a brawl with The Baddies. In fact, that wasn’t a brawl, Jade and Kiera turned the squash right back around on Athena & Kris. I can get Jade and Kiera being mad at Leila for essentially compelling them to come out and save her and The Baddies’ reputation, but the execution was poor. The Gunn Club and Acclaimed had a better segment, with Billy trying to weasel out of the fight that was coming, and then The Acclaimed standing tall and Caster getting in his rap. Gunn Club VS Acclaimed should be seen as big enough for the All Out Buy-In, or at least the go-home episodes.
And we got great stuff out of the main event. Good promo with Mark Henry and the main eventers, but those are always pretty good. The match was great, though I sensed maybe they were all getting worn out by the end, what with Penta’s tumble off the top. An interesting choice that Rush’s sneak attack didn’t screw the Lucha Bros over. And also, hard to believe the ref didn’t notice a damn thing when Rush almost clobbered Penta into him. But in the end, Lucha Brothers win, and we’re definitely getting Lucha Bros VS Rush & Andrade. We might even get that for All Out or its go-home week because this is that awesome of a match.
My Score: 8.7/10

Wait, are the fans throwing white streamers or is that… No, yeah, it’s toilet paper! Ospreay laughs at the fans basically calling Ricochet crap. Ricochet throws the toilet paper back! The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up for Ospreay as he and Ricochet circle. The fans also sing, “F HIM UP, OSPREAY, F HIM UP!” Ricochet shrugs that off, he and Ospreay tie up, and then Ricochet rolls. Ospreay shoots in, waistlocks, but Ricochet switches. They go around, Ricochet gator rolls with Ospreay, then floats to a headlock. Ricochet wrenches, hammerlocks then headlocks again. Ospreay powers up and out, Ricochet runs him over, but Ospreay kips up!
The fans cheer and Ospreay smiles as he and Ricochet reset. They tie up, go around, and Ricochet wrenches to a wristlock. Ospreay rolls, wrenches and wristlocks, but Ricochet spins and wrenches to hammerlock. Ospreay reaches back, headlocks and hits a takeover. Ricochet rolls to a cover, TWO! Ospreay holds onto the headlock but Ricochet powers up and out. Ospreay runs Ricochet over, Ricochet bails out, and then Ospreay handsprings to fake Ricochet out! The fans cheer as Ospreay superhero lands out, and Ricochet is annoyed. Ospreay holds ropes open for Ricochet, but Ricochet goes around the way to step in on his own.
The fans boo Ricochet being a bad sport but Ricochet ignores that. Ospreay and Ricochet knuckle lock, then Ricochet kicks low! And CHOPS! Ricochet whips, Ospreay reverses, but Ricochet rolls off Ospreay’s back! Things keep moving, Ospreay avoids the handspring to then duck ‘n’ dodges and RANA! But Ricochet handsprings through! The fans fire up, and Ospreay arm-drags Ricochet down! The fans cheer while Ricochet endures the grind. Ricochet fights up and puts Ospreay on ropes. The ref counts, Ricochet and Ospreay slowly let g o, and Ricochet SLAPS Ospreay! Ospreay CHOPS Ricochet!
Ospreay takes a swing, Ricochet ducks under to roll back and RANA! But now Ospreay handsprings through! Ricochet dodges to waistlock but Ospreay bucks the O’Conner. Ricochet arm-drags Ospreay down, but Ospreay headscissors back! Ricochet pops free but Ospreay arm-drags! Ricochet headscissors, Ospreay pops free, and Ospreay handsprings, but Ricochet catches him! Ricochet then THROWS Ospreay into the Tree of Woe, and Ospreay falls down! The fans boo while Ospreay bails out, but Ricochet FOSBURY FLOPS! The fans boo but Ricochet takes the toilet paper to wipe himself, then he SMOTHERS Ospreay with it!
The fans boo that literally disgusting act of disrespect, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Ricochet taunts the fans, then drags Ospreay up. Ricochet puts Ospreay in, soaks up more heat, then KNEE-BOARD SENTONS! Ricochet swaggers to taunt the fans more, then he goes back to Ospreay. Cover, ONE!! Another cover, TWO! Ricochet taunts the fans more, then goes back for Ospreay. Ricochet stands Ospreay up to CHOP, and Ospreay goes to a corner. Ricochet RAMS into Ospreay, RAMS him again, then snapmares to UPPERCUT in the back! Cover, TWO! Ospreay stays in this but Ricochet drags him into a motorcycle stretch. Ospreay endures while Ricochet digs a knee into the back. Ospreay fights up, fights with elbows, then runs, but into a DROPKICK!
Ospreay is down in a daze but Ricochet has to shake out the stars in his own head. Ricochet covers, ONE! Ospreay then uses that one to flip off Ricochet. Ricochet RAMS Ospreay in the back! Ricochet then clamps on with a chinlock, and he digs his knee into Ospreay’s back. Ospreay endures, even as Ricochet JAMS Ospreay. Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally for Ospreay again. Ospreay fires up, fires hands, but Ricochet RAMS him into a corner. Ricochet runs up, RAMS into Ospreay, then goes to the apron. Ospreay takes a swing but Ricochet dodges and gets around him to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ospreay lands out!

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!
But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?
Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!
As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?
The bell rings and the fans rally as Kris circles with Ford. They tie up, Kris powers Ford to a corner, then throws Ford back into the corner! The ref counts, Kris lets off, but Ford shoves her! Kris ROCKS Ford, TOSSES her, then runs up on her. Kris whips, drops down, then hurdles over. Kris CLOBBERS Ford and the fans fire up as she flexes. Kris drags Ford up, reels her in, and suplexes, and she holds Ford up! The fans cheer and Kris goes all the way to TEN, but Ford slips into a SLEEPER! Kris pries the hold open and she brings Ford around for another suplex! The fans fire up as Kris holds Ford up for five before the SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Kris drags Ford up, whips her to the corner, but Ford goes up, only for Kris to Electric Chair Lift! Kris climbs, Ford fights with fists, and she shoves Kris down! Ford steadies herself, then hits a FLYING BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford is frustrated but she storms up on Kris. Ford bumps Kris off buckles but the fans rally behind Kris. Ford stomps a mudhole, but she lets off as the ref counts. Kris goes to the apron, but Ford jumps up to drop KNEES on her! The fans boo but Ford soaks up the heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Ford brings Kris around to THROW her into railing! Ford soaks up more heat, then drags Kris up and RAMS her into the apron! Ford refreshes the count, then stalks Kris around the way. Ford whips Kris into the steel steps! Kris falls over in a heap but Ford drags her up into the ring. Ford covers, TWO! Kris stays in this but Ford kicks her around. Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes, thrashes around, but lets off as the ref counts. Ford drags Kris up and whips her to ropes, then LARIATS as Collision goes to break.
Christmas Collision returns and Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes again! The ref counts, Ford lets off and Kris sputters to the apron. Ford runs and goes up, up, and KNEE DROPS on only apron! Kris then SHOTGUNS Ford off the apron! The fans fire up and Kris brings Ford up, to THROW into railing! Kris puts Ford in the ring, the fans fire up, but Ford kicks low. Ford reels Kris in, but Kris suplexes, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford flounders to a corner but Kris has the fans rallying behind her. Kris runs up to UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side but Ford dodges the knee! Ford hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!
Ford wasn’t quite perfect there but she watches Kris go to a corner. Ford runs corner to corner, handsprings, but Kris catches her! The fans fire up as Kris GERMAN SUPELXES, but Ford lands out! but Kris goes Matrix to dodge! So does Ford! STUNNER! Ford runs, Kris does her best to follow, but Ford hops up for a POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Ford is beside herself, but she drags Kris to a drop zone. Ford goes up top, and MOONSAULTS BUT FLOPS as Kris moves! Kris hurries to deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! The fans fire up as Kris scoops to tuck Ford in! STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?

Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!
The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?
The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles. Myles fights back with forearms and CHOPS! Myle runs, but Lio & Action split the difference. Lio spins Myles for Action to mule kick, knee lift and ROLLING ELBOW! Lio fires fast hands, then DECKS Myles! Goldy springboards but Lio & Action dodge! Lio eggs Goldy on, then he and Action split the difference again!
Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!
Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?

Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)
If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10
