PLAY BY PLAY
Chris Jericho heads to the ring!
Le Champion, The Wizard, is here to confront his young protégé, Daniel Garcia, about whether or not Garcia is a sports entertainer, or a pro-wrestler. Fans sing Judas for him, and then Jericho gets the mic. “You sound loud tonight, Cleveland!” Fans cheer that! “Welcome to Dynamite. And last week, there was a little bit of an issue between myself and one of my favorite members of the Jericho Appreciation Society. And we agreed to come out here tonight to discuss those issues and work them out, face to face.” So Jericho introduces one of his favorite people, a future world champion, his protégé, Daniel Garcia!
Fans cheer as the Dragonslayer makes his way out, a mic already in hand, and a worried look on his face. Garcia joins Jericho in the ring and fans chant, “You’re a Wrestler!” Jericho is annoyed by that, “I’m trying to be civil about this. Please shut up!” Fans boo but Jericho tells Garcia not to listen tot he fans. they don’t understand the connection Jericho and Garcia have. Garcia had a classic match with Bryan Danielson, and he slayed the dragon. But at the end of the match, emotions were running high, and Garcia put his hands on Jericho. Garcia spun Jericho around, slapped his hand away, but Garcia had just gone through hell and was disappointed from losing.
Jericho wants Garcia to apologize. Fans boo that and chant “NO! NO! NO!” Jericho says Garcia can just apologize. Garcia says, “You knew how special that moment was to me. You knew how special it was for me to share the ring with my hero, Bryan Danielson. Thirty minutes with my hero. People are calling it the greatest match in Dynamite history and it’s not even close. Rave reviews everywhere. I hung with my hero! The people who call him the best wrestler in the world, I hung with him for thirty minutes.” Fans cheer that. “That match that I had last week, it’s the kind of match that I always dreamt having as a kid.”
When Garcia was living at home in Buffalo, he dreamt of having that kind of match and he got to have it last week! Garcia can only hope there was someone watching at home, whether it’s his little nephew, his cousin, or any random kid anywhere in the country that wants to have that match to. Garcia wants them to feel the way he felt. “And when Bryan stuck his hand out to me, while I’m knocked out in the middle of that ring, and asked me for a sign of respect, I didn’t care if people called me a wrestler, I didn’t care if people called me a sports entertainer. All I cared about was that moment! And you ruined it! You ruined that moment for me, Chris!”
Jericho takes a moment, then says, “I’m sorry that you feel that way. But I wanna remind you of this: there will be many more moments like that for you, Danny. Because you are the Greatest Technical Sports Entertainer in the World Today! It’s true!” Deep down, Garcia knows he’s a Sports Entertainer, but Jericho wants to hear him say it. Fans chant, “You’re a Wrestler!” but Jericho insists he’s a Sports Entertainer! Now say it! But before Garcia can respond, here comes BRYAN! The American Dragon makes his way to the ring while fans chant, “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan says, “Daniel, I see that your mentor here is trying to bully you into saying you’re a Sports Entertainer.”
Bryan wants Daniel to listen. He can be whatever he wants to be and Bryan respects them wrestling last week. And in Bryan’s opinion, he does agree with the fans that Garcia is a wrestler. Fans cheer for that but Jericho says, “You’re really gonna do this to me? You’re a Sports Entertainer! And I wanna hear you say it! Right now! Look at me! SAY IT! TELL ME YOU’RE A SPORTS ENTERTAINER!” Garcia tells Jericho to stop! Garcia has a mentor here, a hero here, and he ha to make this decision in public?! He can’t! He can’t do that! Just leave him alone! But then Jericho grabs at Garcia, and Garcia shoves him down! Bryan can’t help but laugh at that.
Garcia is even more conflicted, but fans tell Jericho, “You Deserve It!” Garcia storms off and Bryan looks at Jericho as Jericho gets up and composes himself. “Y’know, Chris, I’m not the biggest fan of Sports Entertainment, but that was pretty entertaining.” Jericho tells Bryan that what pisses him off is that people keep saying Bryans’ the best wrestler in the world today. Why is it, when Jericho’s been around 15 years and hasn’t seen it once? Jericho is the greatest pro-wrestler ever. And from longevity and reinvention to altering the course of wrestling history, he might well be! But when it comes to wrestling, Jericho is the last survivor of Stu Hart’s Dungeon!
Jericho remembers ever hold Stu ever taught him, he is LIONHEART Chris Jericho, and he knows more about pro-wrestling than Bryan ever will! Fans do cheer that. But Bryan wonders if that’s true. Let’s say we could ask Jericho’s mentor, Stu Hart, who is the better wrestler, Lionheart or American Dragon, who do you think he’d say? If we asked Jericho’s hero, Owen Hart, who is the better wrestler, Lionheart or American Dragon, who do you think he’d say? If Jericho and Bryan had a match right here in Cleveland, Lionheart VS American Dragon, who do you think would win?! Oh, Bryan wants Dragon VS Lionheart? Well he’s got it! At ALL OUT!
Jericho tells Bryan to keep this in mind: Last time they were in the ring together, Jericho choked Bryan out and put him out for two months. Until All Out, Bryan needs to watch his back. Because you never know when he might hit you. JAKE HAGER hits Bryan! And then hits a SPINEBUSTER! Fans boo as Jericho raises Hager’s hand, but surely the match will be made! Lionheart Chris Jericho VS American Dragon Bryan Danielson, who wins and proves they are truly the best pro-wrestler in history?
Dax Harwood VS Jay Lethal!
FTR stood by Wardlow, because Pinnacle is forever! But will Dax the Ax cut down the longest reigning ROH World Champion ever? Or will he get a lethal dose of payback for standing by the Maestro of Mayhem?

You think you know what’s going on for All Out? Sonjay said it’d be a Trios Match, but he never told you who was on the team! So here’s a scoop for everyone: All Out will see Jay Lethal teaming with two close personal friends… MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS!! Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley, big names in Impact Wrestling and ROH, are coming to AEW! Will Lethal’s trio be even more lethal now? Or will The Pinnacle find a way to stay on top?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Tony Schiavone is with the AEW Women’s World Champion, who already looks emotional. She is truly heartbroken, and feels she is letting the fans down. But she has to step down as champion, as she is unable to defend the title due to injury. So at All Out on September 4th, there will be an Interim AEW Women’s World Championship match. Toni Storm, Rosa’s friend and tag partner, Rosa hopes Toni’s dreams come true as she becomes the new interim champion.
But Rosa will remind everyone now, that this won’t stop her. This will only make her better. She will come back better and stronger, and with a bigger chip on her shoulder. Then who will face Toni at All Out to crown an Interim Women’s World Champion? It will be a FATAL 4 WAY, with the top contenders fighting it out! Toni Storm VS Britt Baker VS Jamie Hater VS Hikaru Shida!
Billy Gunn w/ The Acclaimed VS Colten Gunn w/ Austin Gunn!
Daddy Ass just wanted his sons to be as good as his boys, Max Caster & Anthony Bowens. How they were to do that, no one really knows. But now, after the betrayal by his flesh ‘n’ blood, Daddy Ass is gonna have to whoop some Ass… Boys! Will Billy do more than ground Colten tonight? Or will the youthful rebellion only grow stronger?
But speaking of The Acclaimed, Caster of course has a rap on deck! “The Gunn Club just turned into a stupid problem. Yo, Billy, I’m thinking you shoulda used a condom! Y’all about to get a savage beatin’! So bad, they gon’ call another talent meetin’! You little jerks get no respect. We wipe you out like Biden did student debt! Your whole life is a bad choice. Y’all’re not tough guys, y’all’re just Ass Boys!” Bowens of course adds, “CA-LEVELAAAND! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” But speaking of debt, will Billy make Colten pay for his betrayal?
The bell rings and Stokely Hathaway is frowning in the crowd. Billy and Colten circle, fans cheer on “Daddy Ass! Daddy Ass!” Colten rushes in, gets around and shoves Billy away. Colten taunts Billy, but then cowers in the corner. The ref has Billy back off and Colten comes back. Fans rally up, the two tie up, and Colten arm-drags Billy away! Colten lounges on the corner, fans chant “Who’s Your Daddy?” Billy says he is! Billy and Colten circle, tie up, Colten headlocks, but Billy powers out. Things speed up, Colten whips Billy but gets run over! Fans fire up and Colten bails out! Now Billy lounges on the corner while AEW goes picture in picture.
Austin and Colten regroup, talk things over, and Colten paces around the outside. Austin talks trash on Billy, Colten slides in, and then Colten talks trash., Billy grabs Colten by his neck and puts him in a corner! Colten kicks, whips but Billy reverses. Colten goes up but Billy stays clear, to then CLOBBER him! Colten bails back out and Billy tells his sons to “SUCK IT!” Austin is furious but then Billy storms out and scares him off. Billy goes back for Colten, brings him around, and CLUBS him down! Even The Acclaimed are stinging from that one! Billy refreshes the ring count, stalks Colten around the way, and then brings him up by an ear!
Billy has The Acclaimed move aside and the fans prepare themselves. Billy TOSSES Colten into railing! Colten flops over and Billy scissor fingers some fans. Billy stalks Colten to the ramp, gets in his way, and brings him around to TOSS into more railing! Colten writhes, Billy scissor fingers more fans, then he drags Colten up. Dynamite returns to single picture and Billy puts Colten in the ring. Austin swipes at Billy and fans boo, but Colten DECKS Billy! Billy goes to a corner, Austin shouts at Colten to strike, and Colten stomps away on Billy! The ref backs Colten off and Billy drags himself up the ropes. Colten runs in, but Billy dodges the splash!
Billy CLOBBERS Colten again! And again! Fans fire up and Billy has Colten in a corner. Billy throws BIG haymakers over and over, then stomps away on Colten! Austin shouts at his dad to stop, and the ref has Billy back off. The ref even tells Billy he has to remember, that’s his son! Billy feels conflicted, and he helps Colten stand up. But then Stokely CLOBBERS Caster with the boombox! And Austin RAMS Bowens into steel steps! The ref is distracted by that, and Colten LOW BLOWS Billy!! Colten gets Billy up for COLT 45!! Cover, Colten wins!!
Winner: Colten Gunn, by pinfall
How could Colten do that to his own father?! But Stokely joins the Gunn Sons in the ring and offers them his card. And this time, they accept it! And then Austin & Colten both stomp away on Billy! The Acclaimed get in the ring, but Austin & Colten clobber them, too! But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The AEW World Tag Team Champions run the Ass Boys off! Fans are fired up for Swerve Strickland & Keith Lee, but what about The Acclaimed and Billy? Keith helps Billy to his feet, and there seems to be a brief moment of respect. But will all this drama over family and success go all out?
Backstage interview with Death Triangle and the United Empire.
Tony Schiavone says the main event is a match that’s been years in the making. The world has waited for this one. It will be The Death Triangle, PAC & The Lucha Brothers, are taking on The United Empire’s Aussie Open & Will Ospreay, in the AEW World Trios Championship Tournament! Ospreay says, “Oh, Pac, long time no see, brother. Last time we was in the ring together, it was a thirty minute time limit draw. I’m glad you got your friends with ya, cuz I’ve got mine. And we’ve got one mission, brother: ding, ding, ding! More gold for the United Empire.”
Pac tells Will, “What you need to understand is that we have been waiting far too long for this opportunity. So we’ve made a decision. Tonight, gentlemen, we’re not gonna kill ya. We’re gonna murder ya! Because All Elite Wrestling is Death Triangle territory, and tonight, United Empire, you find out the hard way.” Will Rey Fenix, Penta El Zero M and the All-Atlantic Champion be the ones conquering the AEW Trios Division? Or will the Commonwealth Kingpin and the NJPW Strong Tag Team Champions stake their claim for the glory of the Empire?
Britt Baker w/ Jamie Hayter & Rebel VS KiLynn King!
After the unfortunate news that La Mera Mera is down and out, this match has much higher stakes now! The Doctor is in the title picture, but could King Krazy earn herself a future opportunity tonight? Or will the Steel City’s favorite dentist be giving King a different kind of crown?
The bell rings and fans fire up. Britt talks trash then fires off forearms! King shoves Britt, Britt ducks the roundhouse but King blocks the superkick. King spins Britt to mule kick her, then runs the ropes. Britt avoids the boot, runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then SLINGBLADES King down! King gets to a corner, fans boo Britt, but some do still spell it out, “D! M! D!” Britt winks then fires off forearms on King! Britt whips King corner to corner, but King goes up to missile dropkick her down! King hurries to full nelson, but Britt breaks free and slips around. Ripcord ROLLING ELBOW! King goes back to a corner and Britt storms over to fire off forearms.
King hits back, they scrap, and Britt chokes King in the corner! The ref counts while fans chant “Pittsburgh Sucks!” Britt tells them no it doesn’t! She runs back at King, but King goes up and over to mule kick again! King fire sup for The Land, and she runs corner to corner, only for Britt to hit a BUCKLE SHOT! Britt goes out and she drags King into the corner to pull her shoulder into the post! The ref counts, Britt lets off and soaks up the heat from the Browns fans.

Britt runs to CURB STOMP!
Britt brings out her glove! Fans are torn but mostly booing. Britt clamps onto King with the RINGS OF SATURN, and then spells it out, “D! M! D!” LOCKJAW!! King taps, Britt wins!
Winner: Britt Baker, by submission
Britt gets the mic to tell Cleveland, “Isn’t it a shame about Thunder Rosa? It’s sad. But let me remind you, when the champion was Dr. Britt Baker, DMD, I wrestled my entire title reign with a broken freakin’ wrist, because that’s what a champion does!” As for the PPV, we still have half of #ThunderStorm, so luckily, Toni, she can finally be on a PPV and someone gives a damn. That’s because she’ll be in the ring with Britt. But speaking of, here she comes! Toni storms right to the ring, but Hayter runs her down and CLOBBERS her! Britt says Hayter is in that match, too! Hayter and Storm brawl, but Hayter throws Storm into the ring!
Fans boo as Hayter stomps Storm and Rebel gives Britt a Terrible Towel to wave around. But wait! Here comes the fourth woman in the Fatal 4, HIKARU SHIDA! The Full Metal Samurai has her kendo stick! She runs off Britt and her crew! Storm VS Shida VS Britt VS Hayter, who stands tall as the winds of change blow in the Windy City?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed and Swerve In Our Glory.
Tony Schiavone is now with Caster, Bowens and the AEW World Tag Team Champions. Tony was going to talk with The Acclaimed but they’re a bit banged up right now. Swerve says yeah, they got whooped on. But it’s fine, Swerve & Keith didn’t mind coming out there to save them. Swerve In Our Glory loves The Acclaimed! Keith says to be honest, Caster & Bowens are ranked. More importantly, they’ve been ranked. So the save wasn’t just because of the love, but because they are worthy challengers for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at All Out.
Caster says, “Yo, listen. It’s nice you think we’re worthy, it’s nice that you saved us, but we don’t need your praise, we don’t need your help. Because we are the best homegrown tag team in AEW, and we are the winningest tag team, so I think we proved it.” Bowens says yes, AND The Acclaimed are the uncrowned champions of AEW! But now, they’ll take those tag titles home because like you said, EVERYONE loves The Acclaimed! Then is this match on for All Out? Will The Acclaimed have no choice but to #BaskInTheirGlory?
Undisputed AEW World Championship: CM Punk VS Jon Moxley!
This was meant to be the main event of All Out, but because tensions ran high to the point of exploding into fist fights, The Best in the World and the Blue Eyed Battler are battling it out in Cleveland! Will CM Punk prove he’s truly the best in the world today? Or will Moxley prove that “interim” was a meaningless asterisk and that he has been THE champion all along?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and in the end, only one man will hold THE belt of AEW!
Fans are thunderous already as the bell rings. Punk and Mox stare down, fans duel, and then Moxley and Punk circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, but Moxley powers Punk back step by step. Punk pushes back, puts Mox in a corner, but Moxley turns it around. The ref counts, Mox lets off to then ROCK Punk! Mox fires off forearms and the fans are thunderous! The ref backs Moxley off and Moxley eggs Punk on! Punk gets up, and he SLAPS Moxley! Punk fires forearms in return, he backs Moxley down to the other corner, then he rains down haymakers! The ref counts, Punk throws knees, so the ref has to back Punk off.
Moxley HEADBUTTS Punk back! Moxley spins, but Punk ROUNDHOUSES! But Punk also falls, clutching his foot! That was the bad foot that he broke and had to get surgery for! Did he just break it again hitting Moxley’s head?! The ref checks, he calls the medic over, but Punk hobbles after Moxley. Moxley CLOBBERS Punk, then rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Punk grabs the arm but Moxley just keeps throwing shots! Punk is almost a ragdoll! Moxley then grabs the bad leg and twists it in a toehold! Punk endures so Moxley lets off and reels Punk in, DEATH RIDER!! Fans are thunderous while Moxley paces around!
Moxley aims a finger gun at Punk, BANG, and he drags Punk up. Another DEATH RIDER!! Cover, MOXLEY WINS!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (UNDISPUTED AEW World Champion)
Well damn! Moxley may have gotten lucky over Punk hurting his own foot, or maybe Punk got cocky thinking he could come back so soon, but either way, we just got the fastest AEW World Championship match ever! Moxley carries around both belts, one of them heading home while the other will be around his waist. Will Moxley turn right around from this and defend the belt at All Out? As for Punk, will he even be able to return after what just happened to him?
Backstage interview with Christian Cage.
Tony Schiavone reminds us of what Jungle Boy did to Captain Charisma just last week, and we can tell from the brace on Christian’s arm that it was serious damage. The challenge was made for All Out, and Christian Cage says he extended an olive branch to JB. Christian was giving JB one last opportunity to apologize to him for costing them the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Christian was giving JB one last opportunity to apologize for the personal and hurtful things JB said about Christian. Yes, Christian acknowledges he said awful things to JB, but the difference is, Christian wasn’t coming from a place of malice. That was tough love!
Christian says he was motivating JB in order to bring out the best version of him! But JB isn’t smart enough to see that because he thinks he’s better than he is, and thinks he’s smarter than he is. JB is not and never will be as smart as Christian Cage, you understand? JB has the audacity to challenge a living legend in this business to a match at All Out?! To make it even better, JB tries to maim and injure Christian! But that’s fine. Jack can’t throw anything at Christian that Christian hasn’t already seen. Christian’s seen it all! He’s done it all!
So in Chicago at All Out, JB finds out Christian is not average. If you wanna see average, you take that camera and scan the crowd of Cleveland! But Christian is an anomaly, he is special! And at All Out, even with Christian at less than 100%, JB finds out that he is not and never will be in Christian’s league! “Jungle Boy. I accept your challenge.”
Ricky Starks is here!
The Absolute heads to the ring, ready to respond to everything “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs has said and done to him since that betrayal a few weeks ago. Starks says, “Let’s get down to business, huh? I haven’t been in the best of moods, because quite frankly, I’m hurt and I’m pissed off! From dealing with Team Taz being over, losing the FTW title, dealing with QT and the Factory, and of course, I’ve got to deal with Powerhouse Hobbs turning his back on me! I got veterans back there telling me, ‘Hey, man, this is show business, it ain’t friends business, Ricky.’ And I understand what you’re saying, but I thought that I was the exception!
“I thought I was the exception because hey, I had a friend in Hobbs, a partner in crime. I had that guy who I trusted. Last year when I broke my neck, this guy called me every single week, checked up on me, made sure that I was okay mentally and physically. A guy that wanted to see me make a big comeback here. But the thing about people wanting to see you do good, is that they never want to see you do better than them.” Fans applaud that. “And don’t forget, Hobbs! When you were standing around in Jacksonville in a bedazzled T-shirt, being Britt Baker’s security guard, you were playing background player then!
“Then you met me and I showed you what it meant to have a seat at my table! If I ate, you ate! If I had the spotlight, I made sure it was big enough for the both of us! And you got the nerve to sit up here and blame me?! But I shoulda known. Because when you decided to turn your back on a nightmare, I should’ve known it’d happen to me. And that is exactly what you did. But you ended up hitting me in my neck, man! My neck, and you know that I was close to losing this all again!” Fans cheer Starks on as he gets real emotional now.
“I called you my friend, I considered you my friend! But you know what I call you now? I call you a low down, dirty, slime ball, scheming snake! And where I’m from, we cut the heads off of snakes!” Starks throws off his shirt and shouts, “And since you wanna quote New Jack City so much, here’s one for ya, jack! How about you bring your five dollar ass to Chicago, and fight me at All Out!?” Fans want to see that one! Will Starks give Hobbs an absolute fight in Chicago?
Jon Moxley speaks backstage.
“Oh, I’m sorry! Was that not how that was supposed to go? Best in the World my ass! Oh, the people that’re surprised right now? They’re the same people that wanted to write my obituary the moment CM Punk came back! They’re the same people who wanted to call me INTERIM champion, the same people who ALWAYS write me off! And those people, they don’t matter. They never did. Because the truth is, the answer to every problem, any problem you might have in professional wrestling, the answer is always Jon Moxley! There is only ONE Jon Moxley! There is nobody that can do what I do like I do! I AM professional wrestling!
“I’m not just some guy, I am THE GUY in the industry! And there are no limitations to what I can do, and I don’t follow any rules. Everybody’s always asking, ‘When is it gonna be my time? When is my time coming?’ I’m telling you, my time is right now. Right this minute, 2022, we’re living in it! My time is now! My time is right GADDAMN NOW!!” The Maniac is back on top and only getting started! Who will dare step to him for that title next?
Rampage is also ramping up!
First, another of the AEW Trios Championships Tournament matches as the House of Black takes on The Dark Order. But will it be Uno or Vance that joins Silver & Reynolds against Malakai, Buddy & Brody? Then, the Mixed Tag grudge match happens as Sammy Guevara & Tay Melo take on Ortiz & Ruby Soho! And then, in answering a TNT Championship Open Challenge, the Hollywood Hunk, Ryan Nemeth, steps to Wardlow! Speaking of champions, the AEW TBS Champion, Jade Cargill, will speak on what, and perhaps who, is next for her!

Winners: The United Empire, by pinfall (advance to the semifinals)
What a shocker! Just as Death Triangle had this one, Ospreay & Aussie Open turn it all around! Maybe it’s a bracket buster for some, but the Kingpin and his soldiers stand tall!
WAIT! Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks are here!! Fans go wild for THE ELITE! Omega & The Bucks are set to take on the United Empire next week, but Ospreay is daring Omega to get in the ring NOW! Fletcher & Davis stand down, but the Bucks still aren’t sure. Omega says it’ll be fine and starts heading down the ramp, only for Don Callis to stop him! Callis desperately wants Omega to wait, for both his health’s sake and for the big money showdown. Who wins this amazing dream match that’s going down in the Trios Tournament?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of Dynamite here tonight, and definitely a wild one. First, not having the world title match be the main event foreshadowed shenanigans, but I could not have guessed it would go that way. I suppose it’s clever that they used Punk’s bad foot that way, but wow, I did not expect it to become a squash! Moxley had a great promo after, but then, are we setting up a PPV match in just the go-home episode next week? That’s a bit wild. Then in a more unfortunate twist, the current injury curse strikes again as Thunder Rosa is hurt. But we’re getting quite the interim championship match. Britt has a great match with KiLynn, and of course we have a brief brawl of the four contenders.
Because this is an interim championship match, it could go any which way, but I feel like Hayter’s there to take the pin. It’d be great if Toni Storm took the win here, but there’s a chance Britt wins this and then Toni chases her going into Full Gear. Rampage has a lot of stuff this week, and I would think Jade Cargill’s going to talk trash on Athena to set up their title match. Wardlow VS Nemeth for the TNT Championship will surely go Wardlow’s way, but there will be shenanigans after to add to the coming trios match. Dax VS Lethal was an awesome match, and Sonjay of course introduces the swerve. Lethal & Motor City Machine Guns VS The Pinnacle is going to be awesome, and I bet this sets up FTR VS MCMG for the ROH World Tag Team Championships.
We got an awesome promo from Starks to hype up his match with Hobbs, he showed great emotion. That one could be a show stealer. We also got a very good promo from Christian Cage to make his match with Jungle Boy official. We got a very good match out of Billy VS Colten, especially with the overbooking of Stokely and Austin attacking The Acclaimed. Of course the Sons of a Gunn join Stokely’s stable, I feel like All Out will be where that faction officially debuts. They might even attack during Swerve In Our Glory VS The Acclaimed for the tag titles. Good promo from those teams, that match is going to be great stuff, but one way or another, I don’t see Keith & Swerve losing just yet.
Great opening promo segment with Jericho, Garcia and Bryan. Garcia is doing great in showing emotional conflict, and of course we’re getting Jericho VS Bryan at All Out now. Garcia might get involved in that, and that will be where he shows his true colors. Personally, hoping he swerves Jericho and joins BCC but I have a bad feeling he’ll swerve Bryan and stay JAS. And we got a great promo from Pac and Ospreay to hype up that amazing main event! As I’ve said this whole time, I thought we were getting Death Triangle VS La Faccion Ingobernable to then lead us to Death Triangle VS Best Friends, but hell, The Elite VS The United Empire is too good to pass up. I’m pretty sure The Elite wins, and they have a very good chance of being the inaugural Trios Champions.
My Score: 8.8/10

The Bang Bang Gang speaks.
Juice Robinson says here’s the thing about the AEW Trios Division: You need momentum on your side. You ain’t gonna get the job done with a win here and there. You need to string ’em together, snowball effect. W after W after W! Austin says chill. They all want W’s, but there is something serious to address. Austin still doesn’t have a nickname! They’ve got Fully Cocked Colten Gunn! Rock Hard Juice Robinson! And… What do they have for Austin? Colten thinks on it. But in steps The Cage of Agony. Bishop Kaun says he has an idea: Ass Boy Austin! Oh, clever, clever. No right, here’s one: Runner Up in the Top Prospect Tournament!
Wow, that was a long time ago, Kaun. Not relevant. The Machine says there has to be a better one. Kaun has it now: Nepo Baby. What? Like he’s got a famous mom or something? Kaun says okay, no, this is the best: Former AEW World Trios Champion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s just everyone here right now. Colten says that’s tough talk coming from the team that lost the ROH World Six Man titles to them. Cage says hey, Colten, you might be a “body guy” compared to the rest of this roster, but stepping to The Machine, watch your tone. Shake weights don’t count, Cage. Cage says the only reason Bang Bang Gang won cuz they had six guys at the time!
Nowadays, the three Bang Bang Gang won’t beat The Cage of Agony. Then let’s find out! If you’re not down with that, they have two words for ya! GUNS- Wait! The Cage of Agony block the finger guns! They clap their hands and say, “Gates, OPEN!” Toa Liona roars, Juice roars back, sorta. Will the Collision Cowboys be able to bring down these three behemoths? Or will they be caught inside The Cage of Agony?
BREAKING NEWS!
Lexy Nair says for the Zero Hour, there will be a TRIOS TRIPLE THREAT! Standing by are two of the three teams, Top Flight Crew’s Darius, Dante & Action, and Shane Taylor Promotions with Beast Mortos. But then the third team can be heard coming as Roderick Strong shouts “BEEEEAST!” Roddy thought Mortos was Kingdom! Shane says Mortos followed the money, so can he help them? Matt Taven says Mortos hasn’t learned the value of a dollar! Mike Bennett says Shane can’t help them, but they can help Shane, because surprise, guess who the third team is? Yeah, it’s The Kingdom. And there’s a BIG winner’s purse put on this one.
Not that it’s going to more matching outfits, Top Flight. The Kingdom leaves, Action says check it. In the end, it doesn’t matter whose side The Beast is on, it won’t be the winning side. And Top Flight IS. They will fly home with that guac. CHACHING~! So buckle up. Lee Moriarty has Shane and Mortos calm down. Will #TAIGASTYLE have just the plan to come away with that big money cash prize?
Friday Night Fashion Fight: The MXM Collection VS The House of Black!
It’s hard to say there are any rules outside the norm for this match, other than to dress to impress. Will Mansoor & Mason Madden prove that no matter what, they’re always the best dressed in the locker room? Or will Brody King & Buddy Matthews give them a makeover involving bruises, lacerations and hospital gowns?
Wait, who is this weirdo in the trash bag and oversized wood sandals? Why is he being carried out here? These are the judges for this Fashion Fight?!

Buddy headlocks, Mansoor powers up and out, but Buddy CLOBBERS him!
Mansoor gets up, Buddy blocks the kick and FLIPS Mansoor! Mansoor scrambles away, asks for a score, and Buddy gets a total of 4! Mansoor says he is still better than Buddy, and he tags Mason in.

Mansoor steps up to Brody, says eat this, and CHOPS! But Brody doesn’t budge! The judges still give all tens! But Brody CHOPS Mansoor! Mansoor falls, the judges can’t hep but admit, that was a seven. Mansoor RIPS that seven, and finds the “YOU SUCK” one among them!
But then Mansoor turns around, and Brody CROSSBODIES them all!! That’s a ten, as in, a STRIKE! The fans fire up as Brody holds up the ten! Mason runs up but Buddy FLYING KNEES him down! Mason is in a daze, Buddy holds up the ten, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Talk about “Brutal fashion,” this was a victory as beautiful as it was vicious! Brody & Buddy proved #TheHouseAlwaysWins, but will they win their way back to title opportunities?
Will Ospreay speaks.
“I have been asked all day today, ‘How you feelin’, Will? You feelin’ alright?’ I dunno how you feel when you’ve taken a Poison-Rana on the stage and a brainbuster on some stage carts, mate, but yeah, hunky dury. I’m feeling great. I’m feeling great to cut these ties that bind myself to Pac. That’s history, right? See, Pac, everybody might know you as The Bastard right now, or maybe they know you as The Man Gravity Forgot. I know you as a UK backyard wrestler. You see, I could say words to you right now that’d perk your ears up that no one else knows. I could say stuff like Steve Farrow. I could say stuff like NAW.
“Because I’ve walked in your shoes. When I walked into that territory that you left, they’d say, ‘Man, you’re good. You ain’t Pac.’ They said the same thing on the UK independents. They said, ‘You’re good, but you’re not Pac.'” Ospreay made them all eat their words, and then he walked on the bridge Pac built, from England to Japan. Pac paved the way for him and Ospreay is thankful. But when Ospreay walked in there, they also said, “You’re good, but you’re not Pac.” Ospreay has been chasing Pac, and five years ago, Pac was Dragon Gate Dream Gate Champion, and Ospreay was NEVER Openweight Champion, and they didn’t get a decision. It was a 30 minute time limit draw.
You think Ospreay is satisfied with that? Nah, bruv! Ospreay’s still been chasing Pac! And here it is. Without even realizing it, Ospreay has lapped Pac. When Pac hit that rana, and Ospreay heard that crappy northern accent, “Don’t you underestimate me.” You thought Ospreay forgot? Nah, bruv. Ospreay could never forget Pac. Not all the work Pac’s done, not all the history they have. No one has forgotten about Pac. He just has been in this position so many times, we’ve lost faith. Wanna change it? Then there’s 24 hours left, bruv. These two may not have had their Wembley Moment together, but who walks away having won THE moment?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage as part of the go-home night to All Out, though they of course accommodated the bleed over from Collision. Good stuff, already talked about it all for the Collision article, and I also touched on Moxley & Marina jumping The Outrunners with that article, too. It was easy heat for Moxley & Marina beating up on The Outrunners, who just had their big moment, but Moxley touched on not celebrating mediocrity and being humble in victory. Darby Allin will probably respond by saying this is just Moxley being a bully. Anyway, good win for Aminata, and Deeb watching her sets up how they’ll be feuding soon enough.
Good promo of Bang Bang Gang and Cage of Agony, and they’ll have a very good match, probably naming the winners the #1 contenders to the World Trios Championships. More than I can say for Premier Athletes. What business do Nese, Daivari & Woods have watching Dustin & Sammy like they’re gonna get any of the ROH titles off them? Nese, Daivari & Woods lose to all sorts of established names, Dustin, Sammy & The Von Erichs will be no different. But still a really good, really fun Six Man Tag of Dustin, Sammy & Hologram beating Dark Order. Dark Order really is a trio that should’ve been given more, but oh well.
Good promo segment from Kingdom, STP and Top Flight, with another of these kayfabe’d money prize matches happening just because. Like, title opportunities not being won here? I know Roddy is waiting to go after the FTW Championship, but why not have him & The Kingdom try to move up from ROH titles to AEW titles in this match? Though, Top Flight might be right. They won that $3000 trios royale thing a year or so ago, they might win this one so that they keep making money and building their budget for more airline pilot gimmick gear.
And while I was expecting a fashion show themed Street Fight, I suppose judges giving scores was good enough of a gag for this match. The fashion themed Street Fight would’ve probably been better, though. But the House of Black would’ve won out anyway, so best to do it in a standard rules match. And then a great promo from Ospreay to properly frame this feud with Pac. I do wish they would’ve let this be the All In match but whatever, this will still be a show stealer of a match for All Out. But as I said for Collision, and even Dynamite on Wednesday, Pac has been standing tall so the math favors Ospreay retaining the title.
My Score: 8.7/10

Chris Jericho speaks.
The Learning Tree stands with The Redwood & Bad Apple as he says, “As we’ve seen recently, The Conglomeration is such a well-oiled machine. Each member, a very important cog in the wheel that makes them roll. From Orange Cassidy, to Mark Briscoe, to Kyle O’Reilly, to Tomohiro Ishii, one of my favorite opponents ever in AEW. One of the toughest men I’ve ever faced! And even though I would’ve loved to wrestle him again in AEW, now’s just not the right time.” Big Bill says time is the most valuable commodity humans possess. But time runs out for every man. Keith says especially this one. THEY’RE STANDING OVER ISHII! Sayonara, Ishii.
Refs rush in and call for a medic! The Learning Tree says “Arigato, guys~!” The Stone Pitbull was taken down in a 3v1 ambush, but what will the rest of The Conglomeration do to get their revenge?

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Lexy Nair is with Freshly Squeezed, and notes that in moments, he faces Bryan Keith in a Continental Contenders Challenge match, and winning means going to All Out tomorrow night for a very full schedule. But how is Cassidy handling this seeing what The Learning Tree and cohorts just did to Ishii? Cassidy says yeah, his schedule is filling up. But what isn’t full is his backpack. So while Kyle checks on Ishii, Cassidy will punch Keith right in the face for what he did. Then at All Out, Cassidy takes that title and puts it in his backpack, right next to the seven grand in cash. Cassidy heads out, will Orange beat the pulp out of the Bad Apple?

Ishii has been avenged, and Cassidy will NOT be paying Jericho back for that ruined $7,000 jacket. And now, The Conglomeration has two spots in the Continental Championship match! Will the word of the day on Saturday be, “Inevitability?” As it, is it inevitable that Okada loses that championship?
Chris Jericho speaks, again.
Jericho says hi to Orange, and congratulates him on the win. But he wants to document this. Since he’s not getting his $7,000, he’ll take something from Cassidy. And hopefully, Cassidy will become champion. Not that he’ll have his backpack to put it in. Jericho will keep the backpack until Cassidy gives him the money. And possession is nine-tenths of the law. So think wisely, Cassidy, because Jericho has a big pair of scissors. Thanks, Orange~! Will the Learning Tree tear the backpack to shreds? Or will Cassidy pay what is now a ransom fee to Jericho?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone & Kamille.
Lexy is now with The CEO, and her Brickhouse, and says that as we learned on Dynamite, Kamille will be banned from ringside for the TBS Championship match with Hikaru Shida. How is she now preparing for the match? Mone mocks that question, then answers it by saying she prepares like she always does: TO WIN. Mone wants us to ask why Christopher Daniels has to be all up in Mone’s business! But while Shida got Daniels to ban Kamille, that doesn’t mean she’s banned tonight. So stay tuned to see what happens when you mess with Mone.

Sit-down interview with Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette moderates this face-to-face between The Babe with The Power, and the Galaxy’s Greatest Traitor. She thanks them for taking time to have this meeting. There are a lot of emotions here heading into their Chicago Street Fight for All Out. Renee has not really heard much from Kris, especially since Double Or Nothing and her turning on Willow. Can Kris walk us through that moment? Why then? Kris says she could go on, where should she begin? First, when Willow got to AEW. Who was by her side? Two Long Island girls just trying to make it big. When Kris was TBS Champion, she gave Willow a shot because she cared about her.
But when Kris lost the title, no one was there for her. Kris never got pinned, and where was her rematch? And who won it after? Willow! Willow says yeah, Kris got signed here while Willow was on the indies, grinding, cheering Kris, paying for PPVs just to watch Kris! And when Willow got here, yes, Kris was there for her. Willow was so happy, because of all people, no way Kris was gonna stab her in the back. Kris says let her finish. What did Willow not do while champion? Give Kris a chance. Willow knew how much that belt to Kris. Ever since winning that title and them becoming tag partners, it’s always been about Willow.
Willow says it feels like there’s one factor that really wasn’t present: Stokely. This has nothing to do with him! This is about Willow and Kris! Willow’s “I’m so nice, I’m always smiling, nothing matters!” persona. Of course nothing matters to Willow. Renee asks how it feels to hear all this. Willow says this is blindsiding. Which is funny given everything Kris has done to her. But there’s nothing that can be done now. They have a Street Fight, all the wrongs don’t matter. It only matters that Willow makes Kris pay. Kris is glad this is a Street Fight. Now Kris can have physical scars to go with the emotional ones,.
Willow is so lucky that Kris is a calm, calculated and composed person. She knows when it’s time to strike, and it’s at All Out. Kris storms out, but will she be the one standing in the end?

“When this championship touched my waist, it marked a new moment in wrestling history. The champion you always wanted but never knew you needed. I don’t run from fights, I get off on them. I haven’t shaken a single hand in that locker room because I know the best way to really get to know a woman is to make her scream at your feet. Ladies, I look forward to meeting you. But here I stand, the world desperately needs Glamour and I still haven’t had my AEW Women’s World Championship Celebration. Well, tomorrow is All Out. And there’s nothing more worth the money than watching me… be me.
“But the saddest part about being me is that I’ll never get to meet Mariah May.” The champ is playing coy, but will she bare it all before the world?

Backstage interview with FTR.
Alicia Atout is with the Top Guys and brings up the last two weeks, GYV going after them. They almost had revenge until GYV ran away. Yes, two weeks in a row, GYV left FTR laying. FTR tried to give GYV a face-to-face interaction, but what happens? GYV tuck tail and run. That doesn’t seem very grizzled to them. But Dax likes these guys a lot, because they remind him of another team. Y’know, one guy’s bald, another with hair. It’s like GYV are a less talented FTR. FTR suggests that next week, Collision in Dayton, Ohio, we get for the first time ever, FTR VS GYV! And this will be them “welcoming” GYV to AEW. #TopGuysOut.

Winners: Pac & Blackpool Combat Club, by pinfall
Chicago fires up and The Elite can’t believe it! Yuta & Claudio just pinned the tag team champions, will they become AEW World Tag Team Champions tomorrow night? Will Pac use this momentum to become International Champion against Will Ospreay? What of Okada having to take on three men to defend his title? And will Bryan not stop chasing Jack until it’s time to go All Out?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision go-home, and a clever use of Rampage to give the main event even more time. Had to make a snap decision on that but it’s in both articles now so no worries. Awesome match in that main event, though part of the bleed over just makes me think they were going out of their way to stretch the match when they didn’t have to. Great win for Pac & BCC, but with Bryan and Jack disappearing before the end, you can’t really say their match is affected by go-home math. Mostly because, as I’ve said, Bryan is not losing the title so soon, and Jack isn’t becoming a double champion just yet. However, this all indicates Pac loses to Ospreay and The Bucks retain against Yuta & Claudio.
As for Okada, it is still a wash given the three contender matches tonight. I’m a little surprised both Cassidy and Briscoe made it in, but I suppose that does add a touch of intrigue given the “every man for himself” nature. Cassidy and Mark weren’t likely to win anyway, so it really comes down to Okada and Konosuke. Okada can retain without hurting Konosuke’s power level, and Konosuke can win the title without having to pin Okada, their story might even extend into October and WrestleDream. Given the nature of WrestleDream being dedicated to Antonio Inoki, you can bet Okada will want to be on that card, regardless if he’s champion going into it.
In relation to that, good promo from the Jericho Vortex to essentially right Ishii off of AEW TV while adding heat to Cassidy VS Keith. Cassidy of course won, but uh, I guess he didn’t have the $7000 in cash on him already or else Jericho stealing the backpack would’ve gotten him the money. And honestly, Cassidy’s response should just be, “Who cares? It’s a backpack. I can buy another one.” Effectively, he needs to tell Jericho to finally get over his jacket, and probably not go buying such expensive jackets at all. That will surely piss Jericho off, and we’ll still get a match out of these two to revisit a lot of that feud in 2020.
Good win for GYV over Iron Savages, and good bit with FTR confronting them. FTR also had a good promo after to bring up GYV not wanting to braw now. They didn’t put a match together for All Out so this feud probably waits until either the Dynamite anniversary episode or WrestleDream in October to give it the proper build and proper stage. Good stuff out of The Outrunners, gotta love them treating a win over “jobbers” as the biggest thing ever. This story continues over on Rampage where they sadly get jumped by Moxley & Marina, mostly to give Moxley & Marina heat.
Good promo from Acclaimed, and with MXM Collection crashing it to also hype their match on Rampage. And while Acclaimed called out big time teams, pretty sure they’ll feud with MXM first before going back to the tag titles. Good promo from Mone to foreshadow her and Kamille going after Shida. Shida VS Deonna was a great match and a great win for Shida, and then Shida standing tall against Mone & Kamille gives away that Mone retains at All Out. Chances are, Mone finds a way to cheat without Kamille, which will surely push Shida towards going Heel. And then good promo from Mariah to tease her exhibitionist celebration for All Out, which someone is bound to interrupt, setting up a title feud to head for October.
My Score: 8.9/10
