Orange Cassidy VS Jay Lethal!

We got a Six Man Tag on Rampage, but now we get a Freshly Squeezed 1v1 match! Will Cassidy get another win like on Friday? Or will he get another Lethal Injection like on Friday?

It’s of note that though Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh are allowed to walk out with Lethal, they have to return to the back, this is to be a true one on one match! The bell rings and fans rally up as Cassidy has Lethal hold on. Fans chant for “Freshly Squeezed!” as Cassidy raises his hands, and puts them- NO, Lethal rushes in! Cassidy gets around him, rolls Lethal up, ONE! Cassidy headlocks and grinds, but Lethal powers out. Cassidy runs Lethal over! Cover, ONE, and Cassidy has the headlock again. Cassidy wants the ref to ask Lethal, but Lethal’s not tapping to just a headlock! Lethal wrenches out to headlock Cassidy back.

Cassidy powers out, Lethal runs him over but Cassidy kangaroo kicks him away. Lethal arm-drags, Cassidy arm-drags, then Cassidy avoids the arm-drag! Fans fire up as the hands go in the pockets! Lethal is furious and he swings on Cassidy. Cassidy dodges but the elbow hits. Lethal handsprings, Cassidy doges and jumps over. Lethal handsprings again, into a SHOTGUN! No hands kip-up! Fans fire up with Cassidy and he builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp and down goes Lethal! Fans fire up as Cassidy fires the shin kicks on Lethal as he crawls up the ramp! Fans fire up more, but Lethal just scurries away to avoid Sweet Shin Music!

Satnam walks back out on stage to stare Cassidy down. Lethal ROCKS Cassidy, TOSSES him down the ramp, but Best Friends walk out, pulling off the ol’ trench coat trick! Satnam isn’t falling for it and Best Friends back up. Sonjay hurries out to stop things from breaking down, and Cassidy tosses Lethal into the ring! CROSSBODY! Cassidy keeps moving, tilt-o-whirl but no DDT! DRAGON SCREW! Cassidy writhes and flounders out of the ring and Lethal pursues. Lethal drags Cassidy to the steps to STOMP the foot! And again! And again! Cassidy writhes while fans boo and the ref reprimands. Lethal gets in the ring but exits out again.

Lethal moves the steel steps, puts Cassidy’s leg in between it and the ring, and then stomps Cassidy down. Fans boo, but Lethal DROPKICKS the steps! Cassidy clutches his crushed leg and the ref checks on him while AEW goes picture in picture.

Lethal gets in the ring to soak up the heat, as well as mock Cassidy’s pain. Cassidy tries to stand, but Lethal goes out to put him in the ring. Lethal gets the bad leg, stomps the thigh, then drags Cassidy to JAM the leg against his knee. Cover, TWO! Cassidy grimaces but Lethal drags him up. Cassidy shoves Lethal away but Lethal CLUBS him. Lethal stands Cassidy up, to hit a SHIN BREAKER! And then another SHIN BREAKER! And then a third SHIN BREAKER! Cassidy writhes and Lethal dusts off his hands, proud of his work. Cassidy goes to the apron but Lethal pursues. Lethal stands on the bad leg and stomps it at the ropes! Lethal drags Cassidy to a cover, TWO!

Lethal argues the count but the ref says it was fair. Lethal drags Cassidy by the leg and works to turn him! Cassidy gets the ROPEBREAK first, so Lethal KICKS him while he lets go. Lethal then drags Cassidy around, and puts the leg on the ropes. Lethal HIP DROPS on the leg! Lethal mocks the fans clapping for Cassidy, before he HIP DROPS the leg again! Cassidy scrambles away to a corner but Lethal storms up after him. Lethal drags Cassidy up, trips him and “WOO~!” as Dynamite returns to single picture. But Cassidy kicks Lethal away! Lethal stomps Cassidy down, Cassidy kicks back, but Lethal basement dropkicks!

Lethal drags Cassidy by that leg, but Cassidy kicks him away! Cassidy is in a corner, he dodges Lethal, and runs in, only to be put on the apron! Cassidy bobs ‘n’ weaves, bumps Lethal off buckles, then goes up top, But Lethal ROCKS Cassidy first! Lethal climbs up, SUPER DRAGON SCREW!! And then the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK!! Cassidy endures while fans rally, and Cassidy manages to roll to the ROPEBREAK! Lethal lets off at 4, then drags Cassidy up on the apron. Fans rally but Lethal blows a kiss to the crowd. But Cassidy fights the suplex! Lethal gets Cassidy up the next time, Cassidy hits STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE!

Lethal wobbles, Cassidy rolls back to tilt-o-whirl, but Lethal blocks that to a LETHAL COMBINATION! Cover, TWO! Fans fire up but Lethal drags Cassidy to the drop zone.

ORANGE- NO, CHOP BLOCK from Lethal! And then FIGURE- CRADLE!! TWO!! Lethal gets up, dodges the Orange Punch and mule kicks the leg! Handspring, LETHAL INJECTION!! Cover, Lethal wins!

Winner: Jay Lethal, by pinfall

Jay Lethal avenges himself, and Sonjay Dutt wants Columbus, Ohio to give it up for his best friend! That was amazing, Lethal! Look at this little hippie! Cassidy, you look like you have jaundice, man! Sonjay has a question for Lethal: On Rampage, this big, strong man with muscles named Wardlow came out after their match, what are Lethal’s thoughts on him? Fans chant for “WARD~LOW!” and Sonjay tells them to shut up. Lethal says that Wardlow came out last week and stuck his nose in their business. Why? TO protect and defend his new friends. Well, Wardlow, if you’re listening, come on out here right now because Lethal’s gonna break Cassidy’s leg!

Lethal grabs at Cassidy, Sonjay runs off the ref, and Lethal steps through! But here come the Best Friends! AND Wardlow!! The TNT Champion storms right down to the ring, Lethal and his friends bail out! Sonjay says what? Wardlow want this now? That’s not fair, Lethal just went 15 minutes and beat Cassidy. Wardlow thinks this is the opportune time to do this? NO! Lethal’s sweatin’ up a storm right now. But guess what? Wardlow’s a big man, Sonjay’s a big man, so let’s do this: Battle of the Belts III, this weekend, Wardlow can go home, go train and prepare, play that violin, play that symphony, but then put the TNT Championship against Lethal!

Fans want to see it, and Wardlow gets a mic to say, “Columbus, Ohio! Welcome to Wardlow’s World! If you ain’t got the balls to do it tonight, I don’t care when. It doesn’t matter what time, what day, what city, the end result is Wardlow’s gonna whoop that ass!” So that’s a yes! Will Lethal be able to take the TNT title from the War Dog? Or will the Maestro of Mayhem make Lethal part of the Powerbomb Symphony?

 

The Undisputed Elite heads to the ring!

Adam Cole leads the way for Bobby Fish, Kyle O’Reilly and the Young Bucks, with Brandon Cutler vlogging it all from the rear. Fans are fired up, and of course they join in with the “BOOM!” as well as the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole gets the mic to ask, “Who’s ready for story time with Adam Cole, baybay? First of all, my God, does it feel good to be back in this ring. More importantly, it feels great to be back in this ring with my friends. Because I do have some unfortunate news. Unfortunately, I am still not medically cleared.

But, I’ve taken this time to really think and process a lot of things. I’ve thought about the success that the Undisputed Elite has had. I’ve also thought about things that we could work on. Because as a great leader, you don’t just celebrate your success, you figure out what you can fix. But it’s not just great leadership that makes a great faction, no. It’s things like chemistry, which the five of us have in spades. It’s things like talent! Boys and girls, you’re looking at five of the very best, baybay.

“And most importantly, it’s about loyalty. It’s about fighting alongside your brothers, no matter what. And my God, we have that, too! For God’s sakes, I came to AEW because of the Young Bucks. That is loyalty! I have traveled up and down the globe my entire career with Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish. THAT is loyalty! Because loyalty is power! Loyalty is success! Loyalty is everything. Which brings me… to this Trios Tournament. Matt. Nick. Guys, there’s nothing that I would love more than for the Undisputed Elite to be the winners of this first ever Trios Tournament.

“But, if I’m not medically cleared, and Kyle O’Reilly isn’t medically cleared, and you aren’t choosing Bobby Fish to be your partner? Guys, I’m sorry, you just can’t do the tournament.” Fans boo, that’s not cool! The Bucks argue and Cole says hold on. He is sorry, he isn’t saying this right. It’s that the Buck won’t be physically capable of entering the tournament. FISH PUTS NICK IN A SLEEPER!! And Kyle CHOP BLOCKS Matt!! Fish kicks away on Nick then ROUNDHOUSES him down! Cole SUPERKICKS Matt!! Cutler says what’s going on? Stop this! But Fish CLOBBERS Cutler! Cole tells Matt that he came here for them! And this is what they do to him!?

Cole stomps away on Matt, but what brought this on! Kyle puts Nick back in a Sleeper, and Fish gets a chair! Cole gives Matt a kiss good-bye on the cheek, as Fish puts the chair around Matt’s head! Cole goes up top, but here comes HANGMAN! The Cowboy has a STEEL PIPE, and he runs off the Undisputed Elite! Fans fire up for Hangman as he saves the Bucks! And then he actually turns around to look at Nick and Matt. Hangman walks over, and he helps Matt up! Fans fire up, but then Hangman leaves. Is this still not quite the reunion of the #HungBucks?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

“Tonight, the last survivor of the Hart Dungeon faces the first survivor of the Blackpool Combat Club for a shot at the world championship and a dance with the baddest SOB in this game. And they’ve been asking me all day, ‘Who do you want to win?’ My answer is, ‘I don’t care.’ And they look at me like I’m crazy. ‘You gotta care. Would you rather face your friend? Or your enemy?” When I say, ‘I don’t care,’ it’s not a stock answer. It’s not some non-answer. I. Don’t. Care. When the bell rings, I have no respect for anybody.

“I don’t care if it’s Wednesday, I don’t care if it’s Friday, I don’t care if it’s Saturday. When I get into the ring, I’m trying to hurt my opponent. I’m trying to break his face. I’m trying to split his head open and paint the canvas with his blood. I’m trying to litter the canvas with teeth. I will not stop until somebody goes to the hospital, even if it’s me. And I do it every night, no days off. That’s why I’m the best at this. And when the BCC is all said and done, we’re gonna make the Hart Dungeon look like a daycare.

“Tonight, maybe Wheeler wins. Cool. Maybe Jericho wins. Cool. But they both know me well enough to know, when they show up next week, they better be ready. This is my life. And when you step into the ring with me, this is not a game.” Will the Maniac really not care about the result in tonight’s main event?

 

Backstage interview with Christian Cage.

After the comments from Jungle Boy last week, Tony Schiavone says this has gotten rather personal. Captain Charisma says that just like the people of Columbus, Ohio, JB was raised by terrible human beings. He dragged Christian’s personal life into this, and that is something Christian would never do! Do you understand? But then oh no! Someone pulls their car in very fast, and it’s JUNGLE BOY! He isn’t even scheduled for tonight! JB wants after Christian but security drags JB away. Christian wants JB to be arrested for trying to kill him with that car! Will JB have to wait until a match is made to get his hands on Christian?

 

Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter w/ Rebel VS ThunderStorm!

The Doctor called out the AEW Women’s World Champion and the Lightning From Down Under, and now she and her assistant get a tag match with them to settle things! Will Britt and Hayter, in their new color coordinated gear, get a win off Rosa & Toni? Or will they be blown away by the ThunderStorm?

The #1 contender falls, as does #ThunderStorm! Will Britt and Hayter be coming for the gold the closer we get to All Out?

 

Sammy Guevara & Tay Conti speak.

They vlog from Paris, France as they announce they’re getting married! A rather fake British narrator says, “It is one of the most talked about events of 2022. Last June, in front of one of the most iconic and romantic backdrops in the world, the Spanish God, Sammy Guevara, proposed to Tay Conti. Now, America’s Favorite Couple won’t be here on Dynamite, because they are busy getting married. #BeMad!” Tay shows off the diamond on her finger, but wait, Eddie Kingston cuts the video short!

“Tony, what’re we doing? This is a wrestling show! Why am I hearing this kid and his wife talk about getting married? Why don’t I get a little thing here so I can look like a moron, staring at it. Why don’t I get that? Sammy, you’re getting married. Congratulations, nobody cares! You know what they care about? It’s me getting you, brother. You got a receipt coming, man! And Tony sent me the contract, and it’s signed. So when you’re done with your little Paris, and all your money–by the way, money won’t buy health, partner, trust me–when you’re done with that, check your mail, brother. And sign the contract! See you at the PPV. Sign the contract.”

The Mad King is ready, will he get to go All Out against the Spanish God?

 

Taz speaks up from commentary.

When it comes to everything that went down last week, he’s just as shocked as we were. He did not know “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs was going to betray Ricky Starks. He did not know Ricky Starks would set up another open challenge after facing Danhausen. And Taz also didn’t know that Hook was going to accept said open challenge, be victorious, and become the NEW FTW Champion. But this is what he does know, he’s not in the loop with Team Taz, he IS Taz. So he let all three men know that as of this moment, Team Taz is DONE! DEAD! OVER! Taz wishes nothing but the best to Hobbs, Starks and Hook, but he’s done with it.

 

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS ???

Speaking of the former Team Taz, the man who effectively broke the group up is here to build upon his Absolute betrayal. Will he show us just how he’ll do that at Ren Jones’ expense?

The bell rings and Hobbs CLOBBERS Jones in the corner! Fans boo but Hobbs asks, “Where’s Ricky?” Hobbs drags Jones up, scoops him, and carries him around to show off! Then he RAMS Jones into the corner, before the OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE! Hobbs drags Jones up, and says, “Watch this, Ricky!” LARIAT!! Hobbs drags Jones to a cover, and Hobbs wins!

Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by pinfall

But wait! Starks comes out?! And rushes down the ring in a flash! Starks and Hobbs brawl and fans are loving it! Hobbs shoves Starks into the ref, Starks shoves the ref, but Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! Fans boo while Starks writhes. Hobbs says Starks a punk, and takes his leave. Will Hobbs run through anyone and everyone on his way to the top?

 

Miro speaks.

“My God, what can I trust? Did you send the visitor that has been talking to me? She’s been telling me things. How do I tell the difference anymore? Your Pagans rely on costumes, but when it comes to men, evil doesn’t need a mask. It just needs time. Because in the end, everyone reveals themselves. And you know the Redeemer will, too.” What will Miro choose when it comes to the House of Black?

 

Darby Allin speaks.

“Part of the story you don’t want to tell anyone, Brody King, is how you weren’t in AEW. You know it was me who went up to Tony Khan and said, ‘You need to hire this man, Brody King.’ So the fact that you are here because of me eats you alive. You say you don’t need anything from me, you don’t need my respect. That is a lie, you need everything from me. That is why you are trying to build your name off of me.” Darby finishes tattooing his own hand, and says, “I just want you to know that you asked for this match. I want you to remember that.”

Darby says his hand will be the last thing Brody sees before he shuts the lid on that coffin. “THE COFFIN DROPS ON BRODY KING” is emblazoned on Darby’s hand. Will this be one that everyone remembers?

 

Jim Ross joins Dynamite for the second hour!

The Buckeyes cheer for this Boomer Sooner for what could be a barn burner between two living legends!

Christian Cage VS Matt Hardy!

This rivalry goes way, way back, and while it has many exciting moments, this one may be the most personal between them. Captain Charisma stoops to the lowest of lows and talks out both sides of his mouth, but will he get a definitive win against Hardy? Or will Hardy bring about a Twist of Fate for his familiar foe?

As Hardy storms his way down the ramp and into the ring, Christian bails out! Hardy pursues, Christian gets back in, but again Hardy pursues. Christian rushes in but Hardy tackles him first! The bell rings and Hardy fires off hands! Fans fire up but Christian scrambles away. Hardy RAMS him in the corner, and again, and again! Hardy fires off haymakers, CLUBS away, but the ref counts and pulls Hardy back. Hardy rushes back in but into an UPPERCUT! Christian ROCKS Hardy again, and again! Christian CLAWS Hardy’s face, the ref counts and Christian lets off at 4. Hardy staggers away to a corner, Christian ROCKS him again

Christian fires off haymakers, drags Hardy around and brings him in as Christian climbs the corner. But Hardy fights back with haymakers, and he DECKS Christian to the floor! Fans fire up, Hardy drags Christian up to bump off the apron. Hardy whips Christian into railing, then clears off the timekeeper’s table! Hardy drags Christian over to reel him in. Christian fights back with elbows, gets in the ring, but Hardy pursues again. Hardy RAMS Christian back into a corner, fires off hands, and fans fire up while the ref counts. Hardy HEADBUTTS away on Christian’s ribs, but the ref backs him down. Hardy comes back to “DELETE!” buckle bump Christian over and over and over!

Fans fire up as Hardy gets all three levels! Hardy then says “DELETE!” and he YANKS Christian into a POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!! Christian survives and bails out, but Hardy pursues again. Hardy ROCKS Christian into taking a seat, then ROCKS him again and again! Hardy drags Christian back up to smack off the apron, but Christian RAMS Hardy into steel steps! Christian gets space, runs back in and KNEES Hardy against the steps! A little double-edged but Christian stands back up. Christian leaves Hardy behind while AEW goes picture in picture.

Hardy stirs as the ring count starts. Hardy drags himself up with the steel steps, drags himself into the ring, but Christian stomps Hardy at the ropes. The ref counts and reprimands, but Christian stands on Hardy’s neck! The ref counts more, Christian lets off and then soaks up the heat. Christian drags Hardy up, reels him in and turns him, for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Christian clamps back on with a chinlock, but he fishhooks Hardy’s nose! The ref reprimands, Christian digs in deeper, then lets off to elbow Hardy down! Hardy flounders to ropes, Christian digs his boots in! The ref counts, Christian lets off at 4, to then stomp away!

The ref counts more, Christian lets off and he talks trash on Hardy. Christian paces around while Hardy sputters and gasps. Christian drags Hardy up but Hardy throws body shots! Christian ROCKS Hardy with a forearm, then has him on ropes again. Christian ROCKS Hardy with a haymaker, then stomps him in a corner. Christian brings Hardy around to snapmare and chinlock. Hardy endures while Christian leans on him. Hardy fights up and throws body shots. Hardy backs Christian down to a corner but Christian throws haymakers back! Christian goes out and then up the corner, but Hardy ROCKS him first! And again, and again!

Hardy climbs up after Christian, Christian hits him back, but Hardy HEADBUTTS and HEADBUTTS and HEADBUTTS! Hardy CLUBS Christian, stands him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture as Hardy SUPERPLEXES! Fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts but Hardy crawls to a cover, TWO!! Christian barely survives that fall from the top! Christian throws haymakers but Hardy throws them back! Fans fire up as they brawl goes back and forth, faster and faster! Christian ROCKS Hardy with an uppercut, then ROCKS him again! Christian runs, but Hardy back drops him!

Hardy stalks Christian to a corner, climbs up and rains down fists! Fans count all the way to 10, then Hardy pushes Christian out from the corner. Hardy powers up and leaps, AX HANDLE! Fans fire up as Hardy calls his shot and waits on Christian. Christian stands, Hardy kicks, TWIST- NO, Christian shoves free, then dodges in the corner! SWING KICK! Christian goes up but Hardy ROCKS him again! And again! Hardy climbs up to get under Christian, for a SUPER BACK DROP! Fans fire up and Hardy adjusts, to DIVING ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO!

Christian rolls away to the apron but Hardy’s right after him! Hardy gets Christian up, reels him in, APRON SIDE EFFECT!

Fans fire up and Hardy commandeers the timekeeper’s table! Fans are fired up but Christian ROCKS Hardy! Christian aims at the table but Hardy blocks the bump to throw body shots. Hardy smacks Christian off the table and fans fire up. Hardy puts Christian on the table, rains down fists to keep him there, then he goes up to the apron! FOLEY ELBOW through the table, BUT ONLY THE TABLE! Christian moves in time and only Hardy crashes through wood! Christian drags Hardy from the wreckage, hauls him into the ring, then drags Hardy up into the chicken wings. Christian turns Hardy for the KILLSWITCH!! Cover, Christian wins!

Winner: Christian Cage, by pinfall

Captain Charisma used Hardy’s own fury against him! Hardy went for broke, broke the table and himself, and Christian picks the bones! But he’s not done there! Christian brings out two chairs! And we know what he wants to do with those! Christian brings them to the ring, puts Hardy’s head on one, and raises the other! But here comes LUCHASAURUS! Jungle Boy may not be allowed inside but the dinosaur is still here! And wait! JB IS in the building! He almost gets Christian with one of his own chairs! Christian runs away, and JB shows off the new “Christian is a Pussy” shirt! Will JB continue to prove that as he continues to hunt Captain Coward?

 

Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia.

Schiavone notes that Garcia’s win over Bryan Danielson last week was a big one, but Garcia says it wasn’t just big. It was the BIGGEST win in AEW history, period! It’s not even close! Garcia submitted the American Dragon! Garcia submitted the American Dragon! Garcia is the DRAGONSLAYER! The Greatest Technical Sports Entertainer of All Time! “And Bryan, whenever your ready to come back from injury, whenever your head feels a little bit better, come back here, I’ve got your number. And I will slay the dragon again.” Will Red Death climb the rankings towards some gold after taking out the BCC’s Perfect Wrestler?

 

AEW returns with Ethan Page is in the ring.

All Ego has a mic in his hand and a wild look in his eye. Are we live? Yes? Then he’s talking to the people and everyone at home? Good! Because he came out here to ask us all a question: WHY!? WHY!? Fans echo “WHY?!” but now Stokely Hathaway walks out! Ethan asks “Why the Hell is Ethan Page not on TV every week?! Why the Hell does Ethan Page not have an action figure?! Why is Ethan Page NOT on the bus? WHY!? WHY?! WHYYYY!?” But Stokely gets in the ring as Ethan is feeling it. “Ethan Page deserves better!!” Fans are feeling that, too! And Ethan wants everyone to hold on. Why are they cheering? Why?

When Ethan’s shirt goes on sale, they don’t buy it! They’re not making him a top seller! “No, you nitwits are first in line for an Orange Cassidy thumbs up, You’re first in line for a CM Punk T-shirt, and you’re first in line to believe whatever BS Eddie Kingston’s spitting out. But Ethan Page? No, no, no, you don’t have Ethan Page’s back. And every single week that Ethan Page isn’t on TV, this company and these moronic fans are leaving money on the freakin’ table!” But then Ethan notices Stokely is behind him. Stokely offers to talk with Ethan. “What’re you doing?!” He whispers something to Ethan now, and that seems to get Ethan thinking.

Stokely offers Ethan his card, and Ethan takes it! Is All Ego going to leave American Top Team to join Hathaway Inc? Ethan’s leaving with him, so that’s a yes! What will Stokely Hathaway build with Lee Moriarty and now Ethan Page?

 

Backstage interview with the Jericho Appreciation Society.

Specifically, Schiavone is interviewing Matthew Menard, Angelo Parker, and Anna Jay. The main event is on its way, Jericho VS Yuta, winner faces Moxley for the interim world title next week! Daddy Magic says that’s right, and you wanna know what makes his nips hard? Huh? You wanna? The fact that one week from tonight, Jericho becomes LE CHAMPION for a second time! No question about it! But that’s only if he beats Wheeler Yuta. Cool Hand Ange says Schiavone is getting smart. You know what happens when someone gets smart with the JAS?

It is time Schiavone and the rest of the AEW Galaxy appreciates them! Because the JAS is the greatest faction in the history of sports entertainment, and they just keep getting better! And Anna JAS says she is the sexiest and the toughest, and she proved it last week when she choked Ruby Soho out! She’ll choke Schiavone out! She’ll choke the camera crew out! She’ll choke whoever this is right now! The AEW staffer gets the QUEENSLAYER! Anna JAS is bonkers, but will she and the rest of the Jericho Appreciation Society soon take over AEW?

 

Dumpster Match: The Acclaimed VS Gunn Club!

It’s trash day, and it’s gonna be a bad day for one team tonight. Fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” as they make their entrance, but then Anthony Bowens gives Daddy Ass a TRASH CAN DRIVE-BY! Max Caster RAMS Billy into the dumpster! Bowens brings the can with him and Colten Gunn comes rushing in, only to get CANNED! Austin tries, he gets CANNED! Caster says, “Yo! Start my music!” Fans fire up as Platinum Max still gets his diss track in! “Acclaimed gonna beat the Gunn Club in a bad way. We got the match in the bag cuz it’s trash day. No filter, I ain’t Instagram. We make the Ass Boys retire like Vince McMahon!

Bowens is stunned but Caster’s not done! “We’ll beat you down and you know the rest! I’m more positive than Joe Biden’s COVID tests! Yo, y’all’re dashed, boys. But for now, you’re just the Ass Boys!” Bowens gets the mic to say, “COOOLUMBUUUUUS! The Acclaimed! Have arrived!!” Get loud and let ’em hear ya say, “ASS~ BOYS!” But then Austin DECKS Bowens! Colten sucker punches Caster, the Gunns RAM Caster into the other dumpster! Austin dumps out trash from the cans, then he and Colten put them together in a cluster. The ref wants them to stop and get in the ring so this match can officially start!

The Gunns don’t care, they drag Bowens over and double suplex, only for Bowens to blocks! Bowens DOUBLE SUPLEXES the Gunns! Bowens drags Austin up, into the ring, and then he gets in. The bell rings to put this on record, and Bowens dodges Austin to elbow, JAB, CHOP and SUPERKICK! Colten gets in to ROCK Bowens, then whip to ropes. Bowens reverses, Colten holds ropes and BOOTS back. Bowens runs in but Colten throws him up and out! Bowens holds onto ropes to keep from falling into the dumpster! Colten ROCKS Bowens, he doubles over and hangs halfway inside! Austin SLAMS the lid on Bowens! And again! And again!

Austin keeps going, then lets off to go around the way. Colten drags Bowens up but Caster grabs at Colten. Colten kicks Caster down, he drags Bowens up, he and Austin DOUBLE POWERBOMB Bowens inside! But they gotta get Caster, too! Austin leaps but Caster dodges to DECK him with that Platinum Chain! Colten POSTS Caster in return! Colten dumps Caster in the dumpster! He and Austin get the id, but the Acclaimed block the closing! They hit back with COOKIE SHEETS! Fans fire up with the Acclaimed as they SCISSOR FINGER~! The Acclaimed is in control as AEW goes picture in picture.

Caster and Bowens get out of the dumpster, into the ring, and Caster aims at Colten, Colten avoids the sheet smack to dropkick Caster down. But Bowens gets in with a trash can lid to SMACK Colten! Colten falls, but Austin gets in to SMACK Bowens with a trash can lid! Austin shimmies and shakes and stalks Bowens, to JAB! JAB! JAB! Two step and SUCK IT, to LARIAT! Austin mocks the fans, but he sees the signs and hears the chants for “ASS~ BOYS!” The Gunns regroup, tune out the chants and raise their hands in victory. They get Bowens on the ropes to CHOP and CHOP! Caster drags Austin out to fire off hands, but Austin hits him back!

Bowens staggers away but Austin stalks him. Bowens elbows Austin, Colten smacks Caster off the apron. Bowens CHOKES Austin against railing but Colten CLUBS Bowens. Colten whips Caster into railing! Austin RAMS Bowens into the dumpster while Colten runs at Caster. Caster moves and Colten hits only railing! Austin hauls Bowens up to dump him back in the dumpster, and he shuts the one lid. Bowens blocks the other lid, just like earlier, and he powers out to ROCK Austin! Bowens then stands on top of the dumpster, only for Austin to join him. They brawl on top of the dumpster, and Bowens gets the edge!

Dynamite returns to single picture as fans rally behind Bowens. Bowens rains down forearms on Austin, CLUBS him, then drags him up. But Austin claws Bowen’s face! The fans boo, but Austin waves bye to then TOSS Bowens onto the trash cans! Fans boo and Caster sees what happened to Bowens. Caster CLUBS Colten up the ramp but Austin CLOBBERS him! “Who’s the Ass Boy now?!” “YOU!!” The Gunns drag Caster to the other dumpster but Caster fires off backhands and haymakers! But Colten ROCKS Caster, he and Austin RAM Caster into the dumpster! And out of that second dumpster, they bring out a TABLE!

The Gunns set up the table, drag Caster over, but Caster brawls with Colten. Colten snap suplexes Caster onto the steel grates! Bowens CLOBBERS Austin! Bowens ROCKS Colten, DECKS Austin, but Colten kicks low to hit the COLT 45 to the ramp!! Bowens writhes, Austin coordinates with his brother to do a big elbow! Austin hurries into the tunnel and up the girder! Colten drags Bowens up and over to the table. Colten puts Bowens on the table and Austin is on top of the tunnel! But Bowens BOOTS Colten away! Bowens runs off and Austin shouts to Colten to get dad! But Bowens CLOBBERS Colten with a trash can!

Bowens says Austin’s done for! Because Caster is behind him! Caster grins and Austin freaks out! Caster drags Austin up to TOSS into the dumpster! Fans fire up as Bowens puts Colten on the table now! And Caster gives us a SUPER MIC DROP!!! Fans lose their minds and Bowens drags Colten up to put in the dumpster! The Acclaimed get the lids and slam them shut! The Acclaimed wins!!

Winners: The Acclaimed

And to make sure these lids stay shut, they fasten the zip ties! But that’s not all! They start moving the dumpster towards the edge of the stage! Fans fire up as the dumpster goes OVER! Caster & Bowens take out the trash, are they moving on to the tag titles?

 

Big matches are made for Rampage!

After winning a Bunkhouse Battle Royal as part of the Ric Flair’s Last Match event, Mance Warner is making his AEW debut against Jon Moxley in an Interim AEW World Championship Eliminator! Will Warner go from Bunkhouse to penthouse with a golden ticket to the world title? Or will Moxley back up all his words about painting the canvas with his opponent’s blood?

Plus, after the sneak attack in the back, Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland want after Josh Woods & Tony Nese! But it won’t be a title match, it’ll be a STREET FIGHT! Will the #PremierGoods earn themselves their own golden tickets to a title match? Or will they have no choice but to bask in the glory of the Limitless House?

 

And of course, Battle of the Belts III is this Saturday!

First, the ROH World Championship will be defended as the NEW champion, Claudio Castagnoli, takes on The Future of Wrestling, Konosuke Takeshita! The Swiss Cyborg tells Konosuke that this Saturday, Konosuke gets his first title match in North America. Konosuke himself says he’s been champion in Japan time and again, but he has never been a champion in the States.

Claudio knows Konosuke is waiting for his first big singles win in the States, so Claudio hopes Konosuke brings all of that fighting spirit. As they say in the Blackpool Combat Club, you either step up, or get stepped on. Konosuke says that when he faces Claudio for the ROH title, he feels he will win that first big win. Claudio says this will be his first successful title defense of the ROH World Championship, because he IS Claudio Gaddam Castagnoli!

And furthermore, after the big win in their tag team match, it’s Jamie Hayter going against Thunder Rosa for the AEW Women’s World Championship! Will Hayter make Britt proud when she dethrones La Mera Mera? Last but not least, after Wardlow accepted the challenge, he will defend his TNT title against Jay Lethal! Will this already packed Battle of the Belts explode with a Powerbomb Symphony?

 

Quake by the Lake keeps getting bigger!

After the cat ‘n’ mouse games, La Faccion Ingobernable will take the Lucha Brothers head on in a TORNADO TAG! Will Rush & Andrade make AEW tranquilo? Or will Penta Oscuro & Rey Fenix show LFI the power of #CeroMiedo?

Plus, Jade Cargill wants to keep her undefeated streak going! She issues an OPEN CHALLENGE for the AEW TBS Championship, but who will answer?

 

Interim AEW World Championship Contender’s Match: Chris Jericho w/ Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker VS Wheeler Yuta!

Speaking of golden tickets to a title, there’s one on the line right here! Quake by the Lake will see Moxley take on the winner of this match, but will it be against the Lionheart? Or will it be another round with the Blackpool Combat Club’s Decoder?

But before things get going, Claudio makes his own entrance! He sees Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange, so he isn’t about to let Yuta do this without backup! The bell rings and Yuta storms up to Jericho. Fans rally but Jericho smirks at Yuta. Fans rally behind Yuta but Jericho says Yuta is stupid to think he can win. Yuta slaps the pointing finger away, so Jericho SLAPS Yuta! Yuta flicks Jericho’s broken nose! Yuta whips, trips Jericho, then rains down fists! Fans rally, Yuta gets up to kick Jericho to a corner. Yuta CHOPS Jericho, bumps him off buckles, then CHOPS again! Yuta DIGS into the bad nose, but the ref counts.

Yuta lets off at 4, whips Jericho to ropes, but Jericho holds ropes and bails out. Fans boo while Jericho cools off and regroups with Parker & Menard. But Yuta storms over, shoves Menard aside and BOOTS Jericho! Yuta CLUBS Jericho, ROCKS him, then fires off fists at the railing! The ref reprimands and counts, fans rally for Yuta as he whips Jericho into railing! Yuta rains down more fists, then brings Jericho around to put in the ring. But Parker anchors Yuta’s foot! Claudio points it out, the ref reprimands, and then EJECTS the JAS! Fans fire up for Aubrey as she argues with Parker & Menard, but Claudio fist bumps Yuta before he ushers Parker & Menard away.

Fans sing “Nana na na, nana na na, hey hey hey, good bye~!” but then Jericho rolls Yuta up! ONE, Yuta BOOTS and Jericho flounders. Yuta fires off hands in the corner, stomps and haymakers, then whips corner to corner. Jericho reverses, runs in, but into another BOOT! Yuta goes up, Jericho stands, but then goes to ropes to trip Yuta up! Yuta is stuck on his decoder while AEW goes picture in picture.

Jericho CLUBS Yuta, Yuta flops to the mat, and Jericho soaks up the cheers and jeers. Jericho checks his nose but it isn’t bleeding yet. Jericho rains down fists, paces around, then drags Yuta up to hit a BIG back suplex! Jericho drags Yuta up, CHOPS him down, then has him in a corner. Jericho CHOPS again, soaks up the heat, then CHOPS Yuta again. Yuta falls over and Jericho slaps him around. Yuta gets up with a snarl and he ROCKS Jericho with forearms! Yuta whips, Jericho holds ropes and avoids the dropkick! Jericho drops a SENTON! Jericho flexes then soaks up the heat. Fans cheer and jeer and Jericho drags Yuta up.

Jericho puts Yuta in a corner, hoists him up top, then climbs up after him. Jericho CLUBS Yuta, brings him up, but Yuta throws body shots! They brawl up top, Yuta gets the edge, and Yuta SUPER GOURD BUSTERS Jericho down! Yuta stands back up and leaps, into a DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Jericho is frustrated with Yuta’s toughness, but this is why Yuta’s even in the BCC. Jericho clamps onto Yuta and throws down elbows! Not quite Hammer ‘n’ Anvil but they still hit hard! Jericho soaks up the heat by flipping off the fans as AEW returns to single picture. Jericho slaps Yuta around more, then brings him up again.

Jericho flounders to a corner, Yuta goes corner to corner and A-LIST LARIATS! Jericho staggers out, Yuta goes up, FLYING LARIAT! Fans fire up while both men are down! Yuta kips up and fans fire up more! Yuta whips Jericho to ropes, Jericho ducks, Wheeler runs, DOUBLE CROSSBODIES! Both men are down and fans rally up. Both men sit up, and Yuta SLAPS Jericho! Jericho SLAPS Yuta, it’s a SLAP fight! Fans rally as the SLAPS fire off faster and faster and from all sides!

Yuta ducks to waistlock, GERMAN SUPLEX! Yuta holds on, to GERMAN SUPLEX again! And he still holds on, to GERMAN SUPLEX again! Fans count it out, this is #SuplexYuta! GERMAN SUPLEX! That’s four! GERMAN SUPLEX, that’s five! Bridging cover, TWO!! Jericho survives but Yuta still holds on! Jericho fights the sixth to victory roll and get the legs! Yuta resists but Jericho gets the WALLS! Yuta endures the Walls of Jericho, but Jericho sits deep! Fans rally as Yuta reaches out, powers up, crawls forward, and gets the ROPEBREAK! Jericho lets go, acting like he won. The ref explains that no, he didn’t win.

Jericho runs in at Yuta but Yuta TOSSES him out! Yuta builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit and Jericho hits railing! Yuta hurries back in, fire sup and builds speed again, to DIVE again! Another hit, and Yuta just gets back up! Fans are thunderous as Yuta runs to DIVE! Hattrick and Jericho hits railing again! Yuta puts Jericho in, goes up top, and then CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Jericho survives but Yuta hurries to run. Jericho catches Yuta, to underhook, TIGER BACKBREAKER! Then a LARIAT! Jericho fires up and fans are torn, but here comes the LIONSAULT! Onto knees! Yuta saves himself, and now he goes up the corner again!

Yuta leaps but into a CODE BREAKER!! Jericho crawls to a cover, TWO!!! Yuta survives and Jericho can’t believe it! Fans are thunderous but Jericho clamps on for the Hammer Elbows! But Yuta CLAWS the nose! Then drop toeholds Jericho, ties up the legs, and he gets the arm! REGAL STRETCH!! Jericho endures as he’s twisted up, but he crawls with the one good arm! Jericho grabs Floyd the Baseball Bat! But Aubrey snatches the bat away! Only for Jericho to LOW BLOW Yuta when she isn’t looking! Fans boo but the damage is done! Jericho aims, runs in, but Yuta ducks the elbow! Roll up and SEATBELT CRADLE!! TWO!! Jericho slips out, gets the legs, WALLS!!

Yuta resists, but Jericho stomps Yuta down! Jericho then puts on THE LIONTAMER!! Yuta taps, Jericho wins!!

Winner: Chris Jericho, by submission (advances to Quake by the Lake)

The Wizard pulled off another nasty trick, and now he tortures Yuta in the submission hold! Extra refs rush out to make Jericho stop, but Jericho doesn’t listen! HERE COMES MOXLEY!! He didn’t care who won, but he doesn’t care for Jericho bullying Yuta! Moxley gets in, Jericho runs away! Jericho gets a mic to shout, “Moxley! You just unleashed the demon! You just opened Pandora’s Box, man! Next week, you want the last survivor of Stu Hart’s Dungeon? You want Lionheart Chris Jericho?! You’ve got it!! But I’m gonna stretch the SH*T outta you, and walk out the NEW AEW Champion! You can guaran-effing-tee it!”

Quake by the Lake is coming, as is Moxley VS Jericho 2! Will the Maniac be the one to tame the Lionheart? Or will Jericho become Le Champion once again?


My Thoughts:

A great episode for AEW to set up a LOT for the next seven days. For one, great stuff for Battle of the Belts 3, such as a solid vignette promo from Claudio and Konosuke for their ROH title match. Konosuke will have a great showing but he will lose so Claudio has his first title defense in the books. A great opener from Cassidy VS Lethal, but I figured Lethal would win. Wardlow showing up last Friday on Rampage and then showing up here, Wardlow VS Lethal for the TNT title is official, that will also be a great title defense win for Wardlow. Great tag match from Britt & Hayter VS ThunderStorm, and a bit of a shocker that Hayter gets the pin in the win. Hayter gets her first title shot, but again, the champion will retain.

Great bit from Eddie Kingston cutting the SamTay video short to call Sammy out. If that’s for All Out, that is going to be wild. It could go either way, but maybe Eddie gets the win here so he can slowly move away from feuding with the JAS. The JAS had a good promo, including Anna Jay choking out some poor backstage staffer. Pretty sure we get TayJay VS Soho and someone, anyone, at some point between now and All Out. Good promo from Taz announcing that Team Taz is done, and of course Hobbs crushes his opponent. Starks surprised me showing up tonight after getting beat down, but clearly this should be an All Out match, too.

Great promo from Miro to continue to keep us guessing on if he’ll join House of Black or not. Darby Allin also had a good promo to call out Brody King ahead of their Coffin Drop match. I wonder if that’s really a tattoo on his hand, but that’d be very Darby to go that far for the story. No idea who wins, but it’s going to be awesome. Undisputed Elite returns, but what a surprise that they betrayed the Bucks! And a great move for Hangman to save the Bucks, but not quite unite with them. There’s still time before the Trios title tournament gets going, I can’t wait for the moment the Bucks actually accept Hangman back.

Great promo from Daniel Garcia to call out Bryan Danielson, and I would definitely love to see a rematch of those two, provided the JAS isn’t allowed to interfere this time. I still feel like Garcia needs to realize he is more a BCC guy than a JAS guy, but who knows if they can figure out how to write that turn. Great promo from Ethan Page to voice his frustrations, and fans enjoyed it, too. Stokely gets another male wrestler in his stable, he could play things as Tweeners, because fans really like All Ego, they really like #TYGASTYLE, they could really get going facing all sorts of teams, not just Faces.

We got an awesome Dumpster Match, with another great rap from Caster, and a wild elbow drop from the tunnel. I figured The Acclaimed would win, and this can propel them to the next level. Great promo segment with Christian and Jungle Boy backstage, I really like this new edge JB has. Great match between Christian and Hardy, and Christian wins to have momentum for his feud with JB. If anything, Christian VS JB needs to be No Disqualifications since we know they’ll both want to use a Con-Chair-To on each other. I just hope there’s no re-swerve where Luchasaurus does join Christian Cage in the end. Jurassic Express with an edge is the team that needs to move on from this feud.

A great promo from Moxley to say this is about the title, not about who he is facing. And great main event between Jericho and Yuta. Yuta puts on another great performance, even in losing, but he is losing to legends, so there’s nothing bad for Yuta here. But of course Jericho cheated to get the advantage, and of course he gets Heel heat making Yuta suffer. Moxley running Jericho off was also fitting, and Jericho gets essentially goaded into giving us what we want again. Can’t wait to see what Lionheart Jericho will look like in terms of aesthetic, but we know we’re going to get an awesome title match next week.

My Score: 8.8/10

Backstage interview with FTR.

Renee Paquette is with Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood, and even AEW referee, Paul Turner. Renee says that last Saturday Night Collision, Dax put his hands on AEW officials and has since been fined $10,000. Dax paid the fine, but he asked for Paul to be here. Why is that? Dax says yes, he is about to pay the fine, but he wanted Paul here in front of the world so that Dax could apologize to both him and Cash for his actions. He let his emotions get the better of him, and he got Tony Khan to allow him to personally hand the check over to Paul. In front of the world, here is the $10,000 for Paul personally to use, perhaps take his wife out for a nice dinner or buy something for the family.

Dax again apologizes for how he treated Paul. Paul accepts the apology, and he can understand it all being heat of the moment. This means a lot to him. Of course, Paul, but just don’t cash that in until Friday, wink wink. Dax pats Paul on the back and Paul takes his leave. Renee says things have been rather heated lately, but this Sunday night, Dynasty on PPV, Rated FTR challenges The Death Riders for their AEW World Trios Championships. Are they going to be able to put their issues aside by then? Dax says yes, FTR are brothers, he loves Cash more than almost anyone in this world. The things they’ve done in these 11 years can never be eclipsed by one event.

Dax wants to let Cash know that he apologizes for what he did. It was an emotional moment, and he mistook Cash for a security guard. Just know that he would never, ever do something like that. But on Sunday night, they add to the legacy of FTR by making Rated FTR the NEW AEW World Trios Champions. Dax loves ya, bud. Dax wants to hug Cash, but Cash stops him?! Cash says yes, they are brothers. And on Sunday, they will be fine. But after Sunday, they need to talk. Cash heads out alone, Dax is unsure what to make of that. Dax apologizes to Renee for this, Renee assures him it is okay. But will FTR be fine with tensions running this high?

Penelope & The Megasus got the better of the AEW Women’s World Champion that night, but will Toni pay Penelope back? Or are things only going to get worse before Dynasty’s world title match?

Backstage interview with Swerve, Nana & Willow.

Renee checks in at Willow is being examined by the training staff. Do we have any update on Willow right now? Swerve says Willow is strong, powerful, and brave. That’s why Swerve didn’t mind facing The Death Riders with Willow by her side. When it came to getting in the ring with two of the most dangerous men in AEW, and perhaps all of pro-wrestling, Willow welcomed the challenge. But Moxley, knowing the history of neck issues that Willow has, and Moxley still did what he did… Now he’s on the run. Swerve will not rest until he has his hands on Moxley. Not before Philly, not at Dynasty, but tonight!

Swerve vows that by the end of tonight, Swerve will have his hands on Moxley! Swerve has put The Maniac on notice, will The Death Riders make sure to be scarce for the rest of the show?

 

AEW prepares for All In Week in Texas!

In the lead up to Saturday, July 12th for All In: Texas, Dynamite will hit Garland, Texas on Wednesday, July 9th! Then there’s a special edition Thursday Night Collision on July 10th, also in Garland. ROH Death Before Dishonor is Friday, July 11th, in the Arlington ESports Stadium! Plus, Starrcast Texas will be Friday and Saturday in the Sheraton Arlington Hotel, and the “main event” is of course All In: Texas, Globe Life Field, with a special 3 PM Eastern start time! AEW is truly going all in for All In, what about you?

 

The Hurt Syndicate is here!

Montel Vontavius Porter & Bobby Lashley are here, and Peoria sings along with the song, “We Hurt~ People! We Hurt~ People!” Unfortunately for Shelton Benjamin, weather delayed his flight, he won’t even make the show, but let’s all hope he and everyone else out there stays safe. The All Mighty Lashley goes to speak, but MJF interrupts with his entrance! Maxwell Jacob Friedman struts out here, mic already in hand, and already on Lashley’s bad side. MJF smirks as he steps into the ring, has them cut his music, and the fans cheer him on! MJF says aw shucks, and then he asks the Hurt Syndicate pardons the interruption.

MJF also notes that MVP looks awesome tonight. Can we give it up for MVP? The fans cheer, and wait, there’s a pocket of fans already telling MJF to shut up. Uh, no, MJF’s gonna talk. MJF again says pardon the interruption, but last week, “Bob” disrespected him. But MJF will let that slide because Lashley is friends with MVP, and he doesn’t know MJF like MVP knows MJF. So allow him to formally introduce himself: He is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, M J F. He is a generational talent, and he knows about Lashley all too well. MJF also knows about The Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin.

MJF looks into the camera and tells Shelton that he knows there were some travel issues today. MJF loves you, big man, see you down the road, hope you’re home safe. And c’mon, we all know about Bobby Lashley, right? The fans cheer, and MJF says Lashley’s one of the all-time greats. Lashley’s been around the block, but however, this is AEW. And baby, you’re standing on the block MJF built. Now, MJF knows this place like the back of his hand. He knows how to get to the top, and how to stay on top, for a record-breaking reign. And MJF can help Lashley & Shelton hold onto the tag team titles for as long as their cold hearts damn well please.

MJF says all cards on the table, he knows they can help him, too. They can help him get back what is rightfully his: The AEW World Championship. The fans are torn about that, but MJF says basically, what he’s getting at here is MJF in the Hurt Syndicate is just good business. MVP knows it, MJF knows it, and hell, even the mouth-breathers in the Midwest know it! The fans boo, but MJF says, “Talk to me when Peoria ever matters ever, alright? Let’s pipe down, this isn’t even a real place.” MVP has MJF hold on, and whispers something to him. MJF says that is fair. What MJF is getting at is this: Lashley may not want MJF, but Lashley…

MJF puts his hand on Lashley’s shoulder as he says, “You big, beautiful bastard you, you need MJF.” MJF smiles and says he rests his case. Lashley tells MJF that he’ll be real clear here. Out of respect for MVP, Lashley will NOT leave MJF laying right here, right now. Lashley does NOT like MJF. The fans cheer that! Lashley does NOT trust MJF, and The Hurt Syndicate damn well does NOT need MJF. So unless MJF can prove otherwise, he needs to get out of Lashley’s face right now. MJF asks if they want him to prove himself. Well, okay. He thanks them for their time, and he tells Peoria he wishes he could say the same, but he’s going to leave cuz they stink.

MJF exits the ring, MVP talks with Lashley, and it seems they’re torn. MVP votes one way, Lashley votes another, will Shelton have to be a tiebreaker down the line? But wait, The Learning Tree makes their way out here! Big Bill & Bryan Keith stare down with Lashley & MVP as they cross paths. The Redwood & Bad Apple offer The Hurt Syndicate “front row seats” to stay and watch this. Bill & Keith are still proving themselves worthy of a tag title opportunity, will they make the cut right here and now?

“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS ???

The bell rings, and Keith BOOTS ♣ right outta the ring! Bill TOSSES ♪ across the ring, then BOOTS him down! Lashley is amused by this, and Bill hoists ♪ up in a military press! Bill TOSSES ♪ right out of the ring! The poor guy tumbles all the way to Lashley’s feet! The other guy CLUBS Bill, but uh, it does nothing. Well, it does piss Bill off, and the fans tell ♣ he messed up. ♣ apologizes, but Bill CHOKES him! “What’re you doing?! You wanna hit me?!” Bill RAMS ♣ into the corner, then feeds him to Keith’s KNEE! Keith shouts, “Get him, Bill!” Bill makes sure Lashley is watching as he hoists ♣ up, and SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAMS! Cover, Bill & Keith win!

Winners: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith, by pinfall

Lashley sarcastically applauds, but Bill grabs a mic to tell the Hurt Syndicate, “On Collision, we whooped Top Flight’s ass. Tonight, we whooped… their ass!” We never really did get their names… Bill says on Sunday in Philly, he and Keith will whoop Hurt Syndicate’s ass! Because they want that match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! The fans like the sound of that! Lashley stops MVP from saying something, and gives a thumbs up to Bill? Is that a yes on the match? Guess we’ll have to wait and see what boss man Tony Khan decides.

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Renee is now with The CEO, and notes that tonight, we saw the Owen Hart Cup brackets. Mone is now set to face the former TBS Champion, Julia Hart, in the opening round this Sunday at Dynasty. Mone says Julia Hart is very mysterious and unpredictable. And although Hart is a former TBS Champion, she’s not the Greatest TBS Champion of All Time now, is she? HAHAHA! It’ll take a lot more than tricks and spells to stop the Money Train. Well before Dynasty, this Saturday Night Collision, we will see Hart teaming with Athena against Mone and- “PEORIA~!” Puppet Mone is back! “Say hello to your C E O!”

Harley is bringing back the ventriloquism to say yes, it’s her. And yes, she knows what Mone is thinking, good to see her, too. And Harley has also been thinking. They really brought the house down Down Under. And hear her out. A new dream team is forming! Mone & Harley, The Train Station Money Wrath Excellence Golden Choo-Choo! What do you think? Mone says chew on this: Harley just needs to stay out of Mone’s way on Collision, got that? GOT THAT?! Y-Yes… Good to see you! Mone leaves and Harley says yes, she has the perfect name now. The Money Wrath Train! CHOO-CHOO, all aboard! But will this one go off the rails thanks to Collision?

 

Will Ospreay & Kevin Knight VS Blake Christian & Lee Johnson!

Speaking of the Owen Cup and odd couple team-ups, The Aerial Assassin is teaming up with his future opponent in The Jet! Will these two be the flyest team in all of AEW? Or will they be put on ice by the Vanilla Baby & Big Shotty?

Ospreay gives thumbs down to Blake and the fans join in. The fans then rally up for Ospreay while the teams sort out. Ospreay starts against Blake and the bell rings.

The aerial assault wins out, and now Schiavone joins Ospreay and Knight for an interview in the ring. Schiavone says as we learned earlier tonight, Ospreay and Knight are going to face off in the first round of this year’s Owen Hart Cup. Big announcement on that: That very match will take place as part of Sunday’s Dynasty! The fans sure like that! Ospreay and Knight had a good time as teammates, but who will fly the highest when they go 1v1?

 

The Opps speak.

This time, Katsuyori Shibata is on camera as they got a cameraman to join them this time. Samoa Joe smiles and says, “Hey, it’s Samoa Joe here, along with Hook & Shibata, and we’re collectively known as The Opps. And you may be wondering, why did I start this group in the first place? Well quite simply put, I understood that the battlefield was changing, and that the nature of warfare was changing with it. So I knew that when I came back to the battlefield, I needed to bring a different arsenal. And that’s what these men here represent. And as a matter of fact, now that we’ve had a few experimental forays out there into the ring, we’d like to expand our influence in AEW.

“And that’s why come Dynasty in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, The Opps will be in the building. They will be watching all, and they will be seeing all. And please, please, please… Don’t let us catch you lacking.” Joe leaves it at that, but who will end up easy prey for these three big game hunters?

 

Brody King VS Lance Archer w/ Don Callis!

While this Hound of Hell is going to face Konosuke Takeshita in the Owen Hart Cup, the Don Callis Family is putting quite the obstacle in his way. If #EverybodyDies, will the King of Death be next? Or will Brody take a bite out of the Murderhawk Monster?

As for Don Callis himself, he is not amused by this Don Callis cosplayer in the front row. “You think you’re funny?” Callis whispers an insult to the guy, then goes to commentary. The bell rings and the fans rally for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Archer and Brody tie up, go around, and then break. Brody barks, the fans join in, and the two big men RAM! And RAM! And RAM! “MEAT! MEAT!

Claudio grits his teeth as he drags Cope up, and then whips him hard into steel steps! Claudio soaks up the heat, rolls into the ring, and lets the count handle Cope. Cope stirs but he’s still down at 5 of 10. Claudio paces, then goes out after Cope. Claudio puts Cope in the ring, then clamps right on with a chinlock. Claudio leans all his weight on Cope, then shifts into a COBRA CLUTCH! Cope endures, fights up, but Claudio KNEES him low! Claudio clamps on the chinlock again, then goes back to the Cobra Clutch. Cope endures but Claudio leans all his weight on the hold again. Cope fights, but Claudio thrashes him around!

The fans rally while Claudio leans on Cope. The ref checks on Cope, the hand drops once! The ref checks again, and Cope is back up! Dynamite returns to single picture as Cope fights to a BIG back suplex! Both men are down and the fans rally up. Claudio goes to the apron, Cope staggers over, but Claudio RAMS into Cope! Claudio looks to the outside, and he hoists Cope up! Cope fights the suplex and now he tries, but Claudio fights off that suplex! They fight for control, and Cope fires body shots! Cope ROCKS Claudio, but Claudio HOTSHOTS Cope! The fans boo while Cope flops back, and Claudio storms into the ring.

Claudio climbs the corner, but Cope rises to ROCK him first! Cope fires more shots, but Claudio fires back! Cope fires forearm after forearm, then he goes outside. Cope climbs up the corner from there, but Claudio fires body shots! Cope and Claudio brawl up top, then they go to the very top! SUPER DUPER BULLDOG! Cope takes Claudio down, but he’s also down after that landing! A standing count starts, the fans rally up, and both men rise at 4 of 10. Cope reels Claudio in, but Claudio fights the DDT! Claudio sends Cope at the ref, then pokes him in the eyes! Claudio trips Cope, but Cope BOOTS free! Claudio returns to DOUBLE STOMP!

The fans are torn, because here comes the GIANT SWING! The fans cheer as Cope goes around and around, and Claudio THROWS Cope at TEN! Cover, TWO!! Cope survives and Claudio grows frustrated. Claudio hauls Cope up, reels him in, but Cope fights free to kick low! IMPALER DDT!! Cope crawls to the cover, TWO!! Claudio survives thanks to that delay, Cope’s gas tank is perhaps running low. The fans rally up as he and Claudio rise up again. Cope whips Claudio to a corner but Claudio reverses. Claudio runs up but into a BOOT! Cope hops up, up, and FLYING SUNSET FLIPS! Claudio rolls through and steps through, SHARPSHOOTER!!

The fans boo while Cope endures! Claudio sits deep on the hold, but the fans rally as Cope reaches out! Cope pushes up off the mat, but Claudio shifts right to a CROSSFACE! Cope endures, pries at the grip, then gets his other arm free! Cope drags Claudio down into the armlock, and now he has the GRINDHOUSE CROSSFACE!! Claudio endures, fights around, reaches out, but Cope shifts around to have the CROSSFACE on that side! Claudio still fights for the ropes, drags Cope with him, ROPEBREAK! Both men flop to the apron while the fans boo. Cope and Claudio catch their breath while the ref says to get in the ring.

Claudio and Cope rise, Cope runs up, but into an APRON POWERSLAM!! The fans go nuts, and then Claudio TOSSES Cope over the barriers! Claudio wants the ring count to start, so he ushers the ref into the ring. The count begins, Cope stirs at 4 of 10, but he’s still down at 6! Cope drags himself up at 7, flops over the barriers, then scrambles to the ring! Cope slides in at 9! Claudio LARIATS him down! Cover, TWO!! But Claudio hauls him right up to reel him in! Cope BACKDROPS free, but Claudio lands on his feet! Cope runs, Claudio hurdles, then Claudio springboards, but into a BOOT!

The fans fire up while Cope and Claudio are both down again! The fans want them to “Fight Forever!” but the show has to end somehow. Cope runs up, but into a POP-UP UPPERCUT! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Claudio is furious but he gets Cope right into the GOTCH NEUTRALIZER!! Cover, TWO?!?! Cope survives and Claudio is beside himself! Claudio goes outside, and he grabs a pair of chairs! Claudio doesn’t care about this match if he can sideline Cope! The ref says don’t do it but Claudio puts one chair under Cope’s head! Claudio then has the other chair, but the ref grabs it! The fans cheer as the ref takes that chair from Claudio!

Claudio says okay, fine, and he lets the ref take the chair. The ref puts the chair aside, and Cope LOW BLOWS Claudio!! That’s what Claudio gets for trying to use the Con-Chair-To! The fans fire up as Cope rises, and Cope takes aim from the corner! Claudio stands, into the SPEAR!! Cover, Cope wins!

Winner: Adam Copeland, by pinfall

It was a vicious battle here on Dynamite, and it’ll certainly be even worse on Dynasty! Can Cope & FTR make things Rated R

 

Backstage interview with Swerve & Nana.

Renee hopes for one last opportunity to ask about Willow’s condition, but it is clear Swerve is still hunting down Moxley. Renee interrupts their argument, but Nana storms off. Swerve tells Renee sorry, all due respect, but he’s looking for Renee’s husband right about now. The camera follows Swerve as he storms off down the hallway. Swerve looks around, but then it’s HANGMAN PAGE who finds Swerve first! The Cowboy shouts at Swerve, “I’ve been looking for your dumbass!” Hangman says Swerve is wasting his time. Security rushes in, looking to keep this from getting physical.

Hangman reminds Swerve that Hangman made a promise. Hangman will NEVER let Swerve be AEW World Champion again, and he’s a man of his word! Swerve tells Hangman needs to let it go and move on to something else already. Hangman says Swerve broke into his house! Swerve says Hangman burned down Swerve’s house! Hangman says Swerve deserved what he got, and Swerve says, “I KNOW!” What?! “I said… I know.” Hangman seems taken aback, then he storms off in the other direction. Swerve made quite the confession there, but he’s back on the prowl. Only for Moxley & Pac to hit him first!

The security tries but now Marina kicks them over! Yuta even joins in as Moxley & Pac mug Swerve! Moxley says he heard Swerve’s looking for him! The Death Riders drag Swerve up, and they THROW him through GLASS!! Moxley says Swerve was looking for him, so congrats, he found him! The Death Riders aren’t done as they drag Swerve out of the glass, and go through a door to walk into the crowd! The fans boo as The Death Riders TOSS Swerve over barriers to be ringside again. Claudio is still here, so now all the Death Riders mug Swerve! The fans boo, but Claudio hauls Swerve into the ring. The Death Riders now surround Swerve.

The fans boo as Pac & Yuta sit Swerve up, and Moxley tells Swerve that he’s going to see who’s the most dangerous one around here. What is that bucket? Yuta dumps out broken glass! Claudio then drags Swerve back up, crosses the arms, RICOLA BOMB onto the glass!! The fans lose their minds while Swerve writhes. Moxley & the Death Riders take their leave, but then Swerve sits up! The glass digs into his back, but Swerve’s eyes stare daggers at Moxley. Moxley is in disbelief as Swerve LAUGHS. The fans rally for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” If not even this can stop him, will The Realest once again reign over the AEW Dynasty?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite as a go-home to Dynasty, though with some questions when it comes to what they’ve set up for the Owen Hart Cup. Why is there a Wild Card in only the Men’s Owen Hart Cup, and why isn’t it considered the replacement for Jay White? I will give them credit that the Wild Card was the plan all along, because no one could’ve accounted for White getting injured. But why wasn’t there a wild card for the Women’s Owen Hart Cup? That aside, both tournaments have great names, and we’re going to get some great matches. Another great promo from Harley with Mone, they’re going to have a very fun match with Athena & Hart.

Toni VS Penelope was a very good match, but it’d be nice if they did the match graphics correctly. Megan didn’t go out there Penelope but Luther did go out there Toni, despite what they put in the lower third. It can’t be that hard to put those together. But Megan just leaving it at a stare down is actually some good stuff, it shows she can think strategically, so she’s even more menacing than just being big and strong. But I still think Toni finds a way to win as the underdog champion. Out of the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, I’m leaning towards Thunder Rosa winning so that she can make good on going for the title she never truly lost.

Very good promo segment from MJF with The Hurt Syndicate, and very intriguing how MVP is still trying to plead MJF’s case. Great segue into Bill & Keith showing up and squashing those two guys that we never got the names of. Which I suppose is very fitting for squash matches because it was going to turn out this way no matter what. Lashley & Shelton VS Bill & Keith for Dynasty is going to be great, and I wonder if MJF interferes on Hurt Syndicate’s behalf to help them keep the belts, just as he said. Even if he doesn’t, Bill & Keith will likely lose, so as to disappoint Jericho and start us down the road to Bill standing up against Jericho.

Ospreay & Knight VS Blake & Lee was a great tag match, with Ospreay & Knight naturally winning. Ospreay VS Knight is going to be a great match for the Owen Hart Cup, but I would think Ospreay wins. Ospreay stated his goal of going to All In, and he can’t do that without winning the Owen Hart Cup at Double or Nothing. Brody VS Archer was a great match of big meaty men, and naturally Brody wins so he also has momentum going into the tournament. But here’s an interesting thing. why is Will Hobbs not in the Owen Hart Cup? He’s been running hot as of late, so he better be going for like the TNT or Continental title to make up for missing out.

That said, Hobbs & Ishii surely take the loss to Kyle & Konosuke as the Don Callis Family goes into the Owen Hart Cup. Kyle and Mark Briscoe will battle once again, and I think Kyle wins that so that there’s a chance of Kyle VS Ospreay in the finals. The Wild Card for the match with Hangman is also interesting, perhaps a long awaited return that’ll also give Hangman a great opening round match. Hangman also had a great promo with Swerve, where Swerve actually showed some remorse and took some responsibility for how things went between them.

Good promo from FTR with Dax being very apologetic, and with Cash being somewhat surprisingly unwilling to forgive. Cope VS Claudio was a very good main event, and naturally Cope won. For starters, it ties up the singles series we’re getting, and Cash VS Pac this Saturday will be rather telling for the title match. Swerve & Willow VS Moxley & Marina was an awesome tornado tag match, and kudos on Marina and Willow with that table powerbomb. Moxley really adds some heat hitting Willow with the Paradigm Shift as a sore loser, and then we got quite the brutal closing with Death Riders beating down Swerve.

Swerve still getting up after all that was a great visual, and I would hope he wins the title. It’d be very intriguing to see Swerve and Hangman feud again now that both men are working to be redeem themselves and be Faces.

My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Toni Storm is here!

Milwaukee cheers as The Good Land is now TIMELESS! Toni goes right to the ring, puts her AEW Women’s World Championship belt right down on the mat, and has a mic to say, “Milwaukee, I love you.” The fans cheer that! Toni says please, enough of the banter! “Megan Bayne, get your oiled up, feathered ass out here right now!” No response, so Toni says fine. If Megan is too busy crushing watermelons and eating babies, then listen up! The spotlight drops on Toni as the fans chant her name. Toni says, “Last Wednesday, you were the better woman. I don’t know what happened, it all happened so fast. But before I knew it, I was flat on my back like you’d just bought me a steak dinner.

“I am embarrassed. I am hurt. And I’m ashamed. And the worst part is, you made it look so easy.” Toni rests on the mat beside her belt to say, “I went back to my hotel, and I turned off all the lights. And I laid there, going over the same scene in my head over and over and over again, wondering if this is what’s going to happen to me at Dynasty.” Fans say no, but Toni continues, “And then, when the sun came up, I was covered in sweat. Moreso than usual. But I got up, and I went into the bathroom and I took a piss. And then I stubbed my toe, then I whacked my head on the sink. And when I came to, I looked into the mirror, and I remembered exactly who I am!”

The fans cheer, and Toni rises up to say, “I am Timeless Toni Storm! And at Dynasty, I will be leaving with your tits in my purse!” Toni approaches the ropes for her close up, only to be CLOBBERED by Penelope Ford! The Superbad Girl grins, the fans boo, but Ford fires off hands on Toni! Ford whips, but Toni reverses to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ford ends up in a corner, Toni runs in, SWEET HIP MUSIC! The fans fire up as Toni stomps a mudhole into Ford! But then Megan CLOBBERS Toni! The fans boo as now the Megasus gets the drop on Toni! Megan fireman’s carries, FATE’S DESCENT on the belt!

The fans boo even more as Megan sits Toni up, tells her to “BOW! DOWN!” then throws Toni down again! Megan stands over Toni, and with just EIGHT DAYS left, is there no such thing as “timeless” in AEW?

 

The Death Riders speak.

Claudio Castagnoli starts with German, and he says that while Dax Harwood will be the first victim of the Death Riders, this Wednesday is when the Swiss Cyborg does something for himself. Claudio calls out Adam Copeland to go 1v1 for what Cope did to him! And if Copeland thinks that was ruthless, Claudio knows he is losing his edge and is just trying to cope with it! Claudio will beat Cope to a pulp, but leave just enough of him alive to limp to Dynasty so he can team up with his “two little groupies,” and fail at another chance of becoming champion here in AEW.

Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder and says, “There are only three women I fear in this world: My mother, my sister, and my wife. Until I met Marina Shafir. On the day that she just snaps, I know I don’t wanna be the one who pissed her off. Part of me thinks maybe me and you, Swerve, we should just grab some popcorn, sit and watch these ladies tear each other apart. But you talked a really, really big game on Wednesday, and now you gotta back it up. Right now, that’s the job. Poor, sweet Willow.” Marina speaks up and warns Willow in Romanian, then in English she dares Willow to keep smiling once Marina’s ripped out her liver and shoved it down her throat!

Moxley & Claudio look at each other, Moxley with wide eyes and Claudio with a big smile. They head out with Marina, will there be no solving this Problem?

 

Jay White VS Kevin Knight!

The Switchblade has put his name in the hat for the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, knowing full well Will Ospreay and Hangman Adam Page will be in it, too. But will White be rolling towards the Owen Hart Cup opening round? Or will The Jet take him on quite the flight?

The bell rings and the fans rally. White and Knight circle, and Milwaukee is strongly behind the Switchblade. The two tie up, White waistlocks but Knight drop toeholds. Knight floats to a facelock, floats to a cover, but White slips through to headlock. Knight rolls free and the two stand off. The fans cheer, White and Knight reset, and they knuckle lock. White rolls, wrenches, and wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and then wrenches to WRING White! White rolls through and the fans cheer. White shakes out the arm while Knight brushes himself off. They tie up again and are in a deadlock.

They go around, White headlocks, then hits the takeover. Knight headscissors, White shrugs that off, but Knight rolls to a cover. TWO, Knight headscissors again, but White kips free. Knight headlocks, White rolls free, then he hits a headlock takeover again! Knight headscissors, White kips free again, and now Knight headlocks. White powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, and White rebounds to run Knight over! But Knight springs right back up! The fans cheer, and now White fires forearms! White runs, Knight hurdles, but then White fakes Knight out! The fans cheer, Knight still arm-drags White around!

Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges White to tilt-o-whirl and RANA! Not the smoothest but White is right up to CHOP back! White shakes out the stars, storms up on Knight and CHOPS again! And CHOPS in the corner! The fans fire up while Knight goes to a corner. White storms up, reels Knight in, then suplexes. Knight slips free to UPPERCUT, UPPERCUT, and UPPERCUT again! Knight whips, White grabs ropes, and then White TOSSES Knight to the apron! Knight bobs ‘n’ weaves, ROCKS White, then steps in. White grabs a leg, DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Both men are down and the fans rally up!

Knight stands, White CHOPS him to the corner! The fans fire up and White LARIATS! White brings Knight around, suplexes, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Knight stays in this but White stays calm while Collision goes picture in picture.

White looms over Knight, drags him up, and CHOPS! Knight flops out of the ring! White pursues, but Knight CHOPS! White CHOPS back! Knight CHOPS in return! White CHOPS, Knight CHOPS, and repeat! Knight fires CHOP after CHOP, then he puts White in the ring. White is on Knight with a CHOP! Knight sputters while White catches his breath, and then White covers, TWO! White covers again, TWO! White clamps onto Knight with a chinlock and grinds him down. Knight endures, fights up, and fires body shots. White CHOPS Knight again! Knight sputters and flounders to the corner but White is on him again.

White stands Knight up, CHOPS him, then whips corner to corner hard! Knight slumps down in the corner but White drags him to a cover, TWO! White drags Knight up, puts him in a corner then puts him up top. White CHOPS Knight, climbs up, but Knight fires body shots! Collision returns to single picture as White hops down. Knight throws hands, then adjusts position. But White CHOPS Knight down! Knight falls to the apron, tries to hold on, but then slumps down to the floor. Milwaukee is fired up again as White storms out after Knight. White puts Knight in the ring, covers, TWO! White keeps Knight down with a REAR BEARHUG!

The fans rally as Knight fights up and fires body shots. White CHOPS again! Knight drops to a knee, but he shakes his head. Knight stands, but White CHOPS again! Knight again drops to his knees, the fans fire up, and Knight rises! Knight ducks a chop to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Knight ROCKS White, whips him, but White reverses to CHOP! White runs, but into a DROPKICK! Both men are down and the fans fire back up! White and Knight stir, and Knight roars as he rises up! Knight ROCKS White, counter punches, then fires a flurry! White knees low, whips Knight to the corner, but Knight comes back to CLOBBER White!

Knight LARIATS White, whips him, but White reverses. Knight goes up and over, then scoops to SLAM! The fans fire up and Knight UFO SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! White survives and Knight is a bit surprised, but he fireman’s carries. White fights free to CHOP! White whips, Knight leaps over the lariat, then SUPERKICKS! White ends up in a corner, Knight runs in, but White puts him on the apron! Knight ROCKS White first, then springboards, but into the clinch! URE- NO, Knight arm-drags White into a takedown and cover, TWO!! White escapes and Knight is shocked! White clinches, BLADE- NO, Knight slips around and shoves White to a corner!

Knight runs in, White ELBOWS him, then goes up! UPPER ROOM!! Knight throws White down and gets moving, but White ducks a lariat! COMPLETE SHOT, then the waistlock! Deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up and White drags Knight up. White clinches for the URENAGE! White says time to end it! Clinch and BLADERUNNER!! Cover, White wins!

Winner: Jay White, by pinfall

Knight pushed White in this one, but he still had to Breathe with the Switchblade! White grabs a mic to say, “Let’s hear it for Kevin Knight!” The fans cheer, and White says, “Just like myself, Kevin went through the NJPW Dojo. And although this year, it won’t be yours in the Owen, there’s always next year. Because I’m pretty sure we’re going to see a lot more of Kevin Knight in AEW.” The fans cheer that! White says that was Knight’s cue to leave but guess Milwaukee thought otherwise. White says, “See you around.” They shake hands, and Knight takes off. When and where will The Jet fly back to AEW?

White says the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament will have the best of the best. And just like White does every time, he will show us that he is the MOST elite! Because he needs to win the Owen Hart Cup, because he needs to go on to All In: Texas, because he needs his shot at the AEW World Championship! The fans cheer that, and White says because he is the Last Rock ‘n’ Rolla, the man who singlehandedly sold out Madison Square Garden, King Switch! The Catalyst of Professional Wrestling! This is STILL his era! And at All In, White will show us it is STILL the Switchblade Era! White has issued his mission statement, but will it be mission accomplished by July?

 

AEW shares a tweet from Athena.

In response Mercedes Mone posting, “Milwaukee, say hello to your C E O,” The Fallen Goddess says, “Maybe I will say hi… TONIGHT!” Could the Forever ROH Women’s Champion be the one to face the TBS Champion tonight? We’ll have to see, after the break!

 

Mercedes Mone VS Robyn Renegade!

#FourBeltsMone held onto the TBS Championship after getting quite the fight from Billie Starkz. But her AEW Dynasty dance card is still open. Will Mone win herself a night off? Or will this Renegade make Mone work for her money?

The bell rings and Mone circles with Robyn. They tie up, go around, and Mone headlocks. Robyn powers out but Mone runs her over! Milwaukee is tourn, but things speed up. Mone steps on Robyn’s dropdown, then does her dance. Robyn runs up, Mone gets around to waistlock, but Robyn switches. They go to ropes, Mone bucks the O’Conner, but Robyn comes back with a sunset flip! TWO, and Robyn SHOTGUNS Mone down! Robyn does her own version of Mone’s dance, then drags Mone up. Mone stops a kick to KNEE Robyn away! Mone runs in at the corner, but Robyn dodges and KNEES Mone back!

Robyn shows some power as she scoops Mone and pops her around, only for Mone to slip out! Mone gut wrenches Robyn to a CIPHER UTAKI! Cover, TWO! Robyn survives and Mone is a bit surprised. Robyn goes to a corner, Mone runs up, and Mone stops the boot to put Robyn in the ropes! Mone jumps up, but Robyn dodges the Stock Drop! Mone grabs at Robyn but Robyn KNEES Mone in the ropes! Robyn then goes up to STOMP Mone down!

Robyn survives again but Mone is right on her! Goery Especial for the MONEY MAKER! And then STATEMENT MAKER! Robyn TAPS, Mone wins!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission

The CEO smiles as she puts this Renegade down and grabs up all her belts. Tony Schiavone joins Mone in the ring and congratulates her on another win. It seems like that the Money Train is running hotter than ever. But he understands she had something she wants to say, so the floor is hers. Mone says that’s right. The fans boo, Mone frowns, and she takes the mic from Schiavone. “I am the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And I came to AEW to win more gold. So I’m officially declaring myself in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s right! I’m planning on winning the Owen Cup.

“And then, the Money Train is gonna make her way to Texas to All In! And then, I’m going to become the AEW Women’s World Champion!” Fans are torn again but Schiavone says that tournament will have a lot of competition, including Billie Starkz, who- Mone stops Schiavone there. She doesn’t wanna hear about that stupid kid! Billie has a lot of heart, but not as much heart as Robyn! Give it up for Robyn! Way more heart than that stupid Billie. Who even trained Billie? They suck! You’re looking at the greatest women’s wrestler of all time! WAIT! Athena really IS here! The fans cheer as THE ROH Women’s World Champion is on AEW!

Athena goes to the ring, and she holds up her spinner belt while looking at Mone’s collection. The fans are all behind Athena and that annoys Mone. Mone puts her belts aside, to take a swing on Athena! Athena dodges and DECKS Mone! The fans cheer, Athena goes to the corner, and Robyn helps Mone up. Mone gets away, O-FACE for Robyn! Well, not the target Athena wanted, but Athena does look at Mone’s TBS Championship. Athena shouts, “This is MY show now!” Will Athena’s Forever Reign be the one to add more gold? Or has she just put herself on Mone’s gold colleting radar?

 

Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.

Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and it would seem there is unfortunate news. Aminata’s hand is wrapped up, she is unable to compete tonight. Taking her place in tonight’s main event is Billie Starkz. Given all this, how does- Serena Deeb walks in. Deeb smirks and says Aminata must know this was preventable, right? Deeb had the game plan, offered it to Aminata, and Aminata didn’t want to listen. Let’s look at history, Aminata. Every time Aminata listened, she won. Every time she didn’t, not only does she lose, she ends up injured. This is all choices. Everything they do is choices. And unfortunately, Aminata made the wrong choice.

Aminata admits, Deeb is right. Everything is about choices. And Aminata still choose not to listen to Deeb’s trash! Not listening to any of that. Okay, Queen, Deeb respects that. But deep down, Aminata knows Deeb is right. And if Aminata thinks there’s a slight chance that she knows that Deeb is right, well, Aminata will have some weeks at home to rest up. Here’s some reading material. Deeb shoves her playbook into Aminata’s hand, will Aminata do her homework?

 

“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS Top Flight w/ Leila Grey!

Speaking of learning, The Redwood & Bad Apple want to make The Learning Tree proud, and that means winning some championships to go along with Chris Jericho’s ROH World Title. Will Bill & Keith be one step closer to facing The Hurt Syndicate with tonight? Or will Darius & Dante Martin soar far above the trees to be next in line for gold?

The teams sort out and Bill starts against Darius. The fans rally, but Dante wants in! Darius tags Dante in, and now Keith says he wants in! Bill tags Keith, he and Dante tie up, and they go around. Keith puts Dante on ropes, Dante turns things around, but Dante lets off as the ref counts. The two go again, Keith arm-drags hard and has the armlock. Dante rolls and arm-drags free, then he DROPKICKS Keith down! The fans fire up, Dante A-LIST LARIATS! Tag to Darius, he snap suplexes Keith and tag sin Dante. Slingshot SENTON! The fans cheer, Dante brings Keith up but Keith shoves free!

Darius tags in, Top Flight gets Keith for the LARIAT STO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Darius stands Keith up to CHOP, then UPPERCUT! Darius whips corner to corner, Keith reverses, but Darius goes up and over. Darius rolls, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down! Keith brings Darius over, tag to Bill, and the fans boo as Bill & Keith mug Darius. Bill drags Darius up but Darius fires body shots! Bill CLUBS Darius down, then puts him in a corner. Bill CHOPS Darius, Darius sputters and the fans fire up. Bill stands Darius up, Darius fires more body shots, but Bill CHOPS again! Bill brings Darius over, tags in Keith, but Darius fires forearms and elbows!

Darius ROCKS Bill, goes up to BOOT, then TORNADO- NO, Bill puts Darius on the apron! Darius ROCKS Bill, but Keith BOOTS Darius! Keith goes out after Darius to CHOP him, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Keith stands Darius up, CLAWS his eyes, and then CHOPS him again! Darius staggers away, Keith storms after him, and then Keith puts Darius in the ring. Keith pushes Darius to a cover, TWO! Keith argues with the ref but the count is the count. Keith drops a knee on Darius’ face, then covers, TWO! Keith is getting annoyed, but he tells Dante to pipe down. Darius fires body shots and forearms, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down again. Keith brings Darius up to whip, but then sends him back the other way for an ELBOW! Bill applauds but he might be the only one. Keith steps on Darius’ face, then has a cocky cover, TWO!

Keith references Jericho but that doesn’t finish it, so Keith clamps on a CAMEL CLUTCH! Darius endures, even as Keith CLAWS his face! The ref reprimands, Keith stops, and Darius fights up. Darius pries at the hold, but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Bill BODY BLOWS Darius down! The fans are torn as Bill stalks Darius. Bill drags Darius back by a leg but the fans continue to rally for Top Flight. Keith runs in around the way, but Dante SUPERKICKS Keith first! Darius lunges forward, hot tag to Dante! The fans fire up as Dante springboards, but Bill gets under. Dante comes back, but Bill LARIATS him down! Bill grins and soaks up cheers and jeers. Bill runs in at Dante to SPLASH! Then he runs at Darius to SPLASH! Back to Dante for a BOOT! Darius dodges the lariat, but not the BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans are torn as Bill talks trash on Bobby Lashley!

Bill soaks up the cheers and jeers while Keith has Dante in the corner. Bill runs up, but Dante slips free! The SPLASH takes out Keith! Dante HURDLES Bill!? But no Darius, so Dante realizes he’s cornered. Bill storms up, Dante BOOTS him away, and Darius returns! Tag to Darius, and Dante runs up. Bill scoops, Dante slips free, and Dante BLASTS Keith while Darius HOTSHOTS Bill! Dante ENZIGIRIS, Darius GAMANGIRIS, and Dante SUPERKICKS! Bill staggers into the step-in COMPLETE SHOT! The fans fire up while Bill bails out, and Keith runs up! Darius gives Dante the alley-oop, then Dante helps Darius TORNADO DDT Keith!

Bill hoists Dante up, SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Cover, Bill & Keith win!

Winners: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith, by pinfall

If that teamwork and victory doesn’t say they’re ready, that look on Bill’s face sure does. Will the Learning Tree do this to the Hurt Syndicate? Or will Lashley & Shelton just hurt people?

Wait, The Cru slithers in! They have the chain necklaces ready like last week! Leila spots them, but it’s AR FOX that jumps in! Fox stands with Top Flight and The Cru backs off. Action says that’s fine, they’ll let it go this time. But will The Sight to See & The Man of the Hour ground Top Flight one way or another?

 

Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.

Lexy Nair is with the Southampton Hayter and welcomes her back. Last time we saw her, she was victorious over Julia Hart, and now she’s in the main event of Collision. How does it feel to be back again? Hayter says it feels great. And if you know Hayter, you know she doesn’t like doing things by half measures. So being in the main event is just another Saturday night for her. But she will say she is very excited to be in the ring with a young whippersnapper like Billie Starkz. It really injects some energy into Hayter, it lights that fire. And Billie has a lot of fire herself, and Hayter likes that. Billie gets knocked down but she gets back up.

And Hayter while respects that about Billie, she doesn’t want Billie to confuse respect for mercy. If Billie steps to Hayter, Hayter will hit back and knock her on her ass. There’s no hesitation, no second chances. So if Hayter were Billie, she’d be smart. Or, find out the hard way. Your choice. Oh, and one more thing. Hayter noticed some girls are already putting in for the Owen Hart Tournament, so Hayter will do that, too. And it is very fitting that she returned at All In last year, because this year, she leaves All In the champion! Hayter is ready, how hard will she hit Billie on this Collision?

 

Adam Cole is here!

The Undisputed Kingdom follows him out, complete with “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” as the Panama City Playboy prepares for his NO TIME LIMIT AEW TNT Championship match at Dynasty. As such, here comes the champion, Daniel Garcia! Daddy Magic has Garcia’s back as he goes to the ring, and the fans cheer for all parties involved. Cole has the mic and wants Garcia to listen. Cole knows tensions are high, but he’ll make this crystal clear: Cole has all the respect in the world for Garcia. The past two matches they’ve had are two of the toughest matches Cole’s had in his AEW career.

When they saw Garcia is the future of AEW, Cole means that in his soul, and the fans sure believe that. That is because Garcia is a fighting champion. When Cole challenged Garcia for the TNT Championship, Cole could not get the job done. But neither did Garcia. And so as a fighting champion, that must make Garcia sick to his stomach. He must not be able to sleep at night knowing he didn’t and couldn’t put Cole away. And unless Garcia is a coward, he’d want to change that. Cole sure wants to change that. Cole doesn’t want things to end in a draw. This needs to end with one man proving that he is better than the other, and dammit, that man is Cole!

Cole knows, Garcia knows, the entire world knows, that Garcia and Cole need to finish this fight. The fans cheer, Garcia nods, and he tells Cole he appreciates the kind words. Garcia agrees with a lot of that. They’ve been in the ring almost two months straight. And as much fun as it has been testing his iron against one of the best, truly, Garcia is getting a little bit frustrated. It is eating Garcia alive that he couldn’t beat Cole. Matt Menard tells Garcia that he is THE TNT Champion. How many chances is Cole gonna get? Garcia doesn’t need to be talked into this. It is Cole’s job to defeat Garcia, and Cole couldn’t do it!

Menard says Garcia doesn’t have to go through with this. Garcia pats Menard on the shoulder and says yeah, he doesn’t have to do this. But he wants to! So then, they will run it back one last time, BAYBAY! Roddy shouts, “DANNYYY~! Hey, listen. I have all the respect in the world for you. And just like Adam said, you are the future. And I’m not just saying this because he’s my best friend, but he is one of the best pro-wrestlers on the planet. And as good as you are, you’re just not there yet, dude.” Menard says, “Not there yet?” Menard and Roddy argue, Kyle joins in, but Garcia tells them all that this is enough!

Enough noise, enough distractions! April 6th, Kyle won’t be out there, Roddy won’t be out there, and Menard won’t be out there. Menard is a bit taken aback, but Garcia says at Dynasty, there will be no one ringside, there will be no time limit, and it will be Cole VS Garcia for the TNT Championship, ONE LAST TIME, and there WILL be a winner, cuz you’re looking right at him! Garcia holds up the title, but will he still own that title when it’s all said and done? Or is Dynasty going to be Undisputed?

 

Athena & Billie Starkz regroup backstage.

The Fallen Goddess says, “Mercedes~! HAHA~! Is that it?” Billie says yeah, just about. Athena says that is so annoying. But what’s the expression? Poke a bear, it might bite you? Well here’s one better. Mercedes, if you’re gonna be a passive aggressive b*tch, you’re gonna get hit. How did you like the taste of the floor? Was it good for Mercedes? Cuz it was great for Athena. So use this as a learning lesson: Keep Athena’s name, and her Minion’s name, out of your damn mouth. But hey! Mone is in the business of collecting championships? OMG, she’s such an inspiration, Athena is gonna do the same thing.

So how about this? Let’s get to real business, not that Mone knows what that is. Athena declares to her Minions and to the AEW fans around the world. Your Forever ROH Champion, Fallen Goddess, American Joshi, Minion Overlord, and all those other things, is OFFICIALLY ENTERING the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s great, right? And Billie! Billie made this all come together, what a brilliant little schemer she’s becoming. Billie has her match tonight! The main event! Look at her! And against a former AEW Women’s World Champion, Jamie Hayter. Is she ready? Yeah, she’s ready! She’ll make Athena proud!

Athena is sure Billie will find a way to disappoint, but tonight, Athena will be watching very closely. Good luck. Billie gives a salute, and it seems no matter if it’s ROH or AEW, Athena keeps Billie under her thumb. Will the inaugural and former ROH Women’s World TV Champion prove she’s ready for the big time?

 

Dax Harwood VS Wheeler Yuta!

Rated FTR made the challenge for the AEW World Trios Championships, The Death Riders made the challenge for Rated FTR to survive. And while Claudio wants Cope’s head on Dynamite, this Collision will kick things off! Will Dax the Ax chop down the youngest member of Moxley’s crew? Or will The Decoder already figure Dax out?

The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. They tie up, break, then go again. They break again, fans chant “YUTA SUCKS!” and Dax smirks. Dax and Yuta circle, tie up, and Dax spins Yuta to wrench an arm. Yuta rolls, switches the wrench and has the wristlock. Dax rolls, spins, and he wrenches to then slip through and headlock fort the takeover! Dax pushes Yuta down to a cover, ONE, but Dax holds onto the headlock. Yuta powers Dax to a corner, the ref counts, and both men let go slowly. Yuta KNEES low! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Yuta CHOPS! Yuta talks trash, whips corner to corner, but Dax reverses.

Yuta comes back, but Dax scoops him to SLAM him! Yuta UP KICKS, then he scoops to SLAM! Dax UP KICKS, both men get up, and Dax headlocks for a takeover! Yuta headscissors, Dax kips free, and roles reverse as now Yuta headlocks for the takeover. Dax keeps his shoulders up, but Yuta grinds the hold. The fans rally for Dax, he fights up, and Dax powers up and out. Yuta runs Dax over, keeps on moving, then he ducks the boot! Dax scoops, Yuta slips free, and Yuta chicken wings! Dax drops down to trip Yuta up, and Dax steps through, only for Yuta to scramble to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Yuta UP KICKS!

Dax snarls as he stomps Yuta down! Dax puts Yuta in a corner to CHOP! Yuta staggers, but he CHOPS in return! Dax CHOPS Yuta off his feet! The fans fire up, Dax UPPERCUTS Yuta, then brings Yuta out for a wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Yuta bails out, and he wants outta here? Dax builds speed to slide, but Yuta ducks it! Yuta sends Dax into the barriers! The fans boo but Yuta then sends Dax into steel steps! Yuta snarls while Dax clutches his arm. There are fans chanting for Yuta?! Yuta puts Dax’s arm on the steps to STOMP it! Yuta then goes to a corner, pulls the covers off the crossbars, and he drags Dax through!

Yuta stands on Dax’s arm to dig it into the crossbar! The ref reprimands, then counts, but Yuta stops at 4, and he reminds the ref, “I have ’til FIVE!” The fans are torn as Yuta copies Danielson, then he drags Dax up to the very top. SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men are down and Milwaukee fires up as Collision goes picture in picture.

A standing count starts, but Yuta crawls over to Dax at 4 of 10. Cover, TWO! Yuta is annoyed but he drags Dax into a top wristlock. Yuta stands on the arm, then STOMPS it! Dax scrambles away to the corner, but Yuta goes out to grab the bad arm! Yuta SLAMS the arm into the POST! Dax scrambles away again, but Yuta stalks him. Dax CHOPS Yuta, but Yuta takes the bad arm! Yuta SLAMS the arm off the steps, then he flexes while soaking up cheers and jeers. Dax goes into the ring, Yuta goes up top, and Yuta MISSILE DROPKICKS! Yuta kips up, grins, and then takes a bow. Yuta STOMPS the bad arm again, and Dax goes to another corner.

Yuta storms up to CLUB Dax, then he wraps the bad arm around the ropes! The ref counts, Yuta stops at 4, and then he wrenches Dax into a snapmare. Yuta drops a knee on the elbow! Then Yuta clamps on a cording hold, only for Dax to fight up. Yuta wrenches, but Dax ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS Yuta, then JABS, JABS, JABS, before he DECKS Yuta! Yuta gets up but Dax DECKS him again! Dax LARIATS Yuta up and out, then hurries after him. Dax counter punches Yuta, runs up, but Yuta dodges! Dax runs into the POST! Yuta hurries to THROW Dax over the barriers! The ref reprimands Yuta while Collision returns to single picture.

Yuta returns to the ring, soaks up the heat, then goes back outside. Dax rises, Yuta ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS, Yuta ROCKS, then Dax ROCKS Yuta again and again! Dax DECKS Yuta, then hops up an dover the barrier. Dax reels Yuta in, but Yuta fights the driver! The bad arm also holds Dax back, and then Yuta BACKDROPS free! Yuta hears the ring count, and he puts Dax in at 6 of 10. Yuta storms in, but Dax has his leg! DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Yuta hobbles, Dax grabs the leg for a DRAGON SCREW! Dax drags Yuta to a corner, and now for some payback! Dax SLAMS Yuta’s leg into the POST! Yuta writhes, but Dax grabs the legs again!

Dax shouts out The Hitman with the HANGING FIGURE FOUR! Yuta shouts in pain, the ref reprimands and counts, but Dax lets go at 4. Dax storms in, Yuta wants mercy, but Dax just grabs the leg again. Dax steps through but Yuta BOOTS him into the POST! Yuta hobbles his way over as Dax goes to the apron. Yuta climbs up top, but Dax CLUBS a leg! Yuta sits on the corner, and Dax climbs up!

Yuta drags Dax around, chicken wings the arms again, CATTLE- NO, Dax slips free! Dax bobs ‘n’ weaves to DECK Yuta! Yuta rewinds, gets around Dax, GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! But back to the chicken wings! CATTLE MUTILATION! Dax pushes up with his legs, kicks around, and he manages to turn over! Dax fights up to REAR HEADBUTT! Dax trips Yuta, ties up the legs, SHARPSHOOTER! Yuta endures while the fans fire up!

Yuta scrambles around and finds the ROPEBREAK! Dax holds until 4, and then shakes out the bad arm. Yuta talks with the ref, Dax runs up, and Dax HIP TOSSES, but Yuta uses that to arm-drag and SEATBELT!! YUTA WINS!

Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall

Dax can’t believe it, but he just got suckered in! Yuta celebrates like he’s already won the title match, and Claudio is there to pat Yuta on the back. Will the Death Riders keep scoring as Claudio takes on Cope? Or can Rated FTR even things up before Dynasty? Dax argues with the ref, the ref says his decision stands. His count was the count, there’s nothing to it. But then Dax gets in the ref’s face?!? Security rushes in there, but Dax fights them!? They hold Dax down, but Cash YANKS them all off him! But then Dax SHOVES Cash?! Dax realizes what he did and he apologizes. Cash is stunned, but just what is going on with Dax’s emotional state?

Dax offers a hand, Cash slaps it away to get in Dax’s face! Dax says he’s sorry, it was a mistake, but then Cash storms off. Well, guess you can’t spell frustration without F T R. Will they be able to sort this out before arriving in Philadelphia?

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

Alicia Atout is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & Mother Shayna, and notes that just like last week, they’re here without any sign of Christian Cage. Just what is going on with The Patriarchy? But before anyone can speak up, The Cru barges in. Lio Rush asks Nick, “What’s up with your boy, Fox, man?” Nick says, “Huh?” Lio repeats himself, what’s up with his boy? Uh, his boy? Fox is far from Nick’s boy. Really? They know they’re history together. Didn’t Fox try to end Nick’s career? So Nick is just gonna chill back here while Fox is out there still breathing? Nick says okay, he gets what they’re up to here. Oh, really? And what’s that?

What The Cru is really doing is asking Nick for help, simply because they can’t get the job done. Oh, is that so? Nick doesn’t blame them for asking him. But Nick’s done with Fox, that is well in the past. Well Nick’s past is creeping up on their present, so for them, that’s an issue. Oh, is that really an issue? Kip has Nick calm down. These “gentlemen” surely didn’t come and interrupt them without a reason, so The Patriarchy should hear them out. AKA, get to the point. Lio says this is all they’re saying. Three of them, two of The Cru. But when the time is right, nobody knows Fox better than Nick Wayne. Just think on it.

The Cru heads out, but will The Patriarchy’s Prodigy take them up on the offer to team up?

 

Holo.grm VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!

The futuristic luchador’s undefeated streak continues, even as he joins Komander as a Titan of the Air. But while Hologram & Komander have settled things with La Faccion Ingobernable, this battle is about the Revolution Zero Hour last month. Will the Vanilla Babyface avenge that loss? Or will he just be number 22 on Hologram’s win streak?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Hologram and Blake circle, approach, and then Blake slips past Hologram to strut. Blake then pie faces Hologram, talks some smack, and things speed up. Hologram RANAS, then hurdles, rolls, and pops Blake up. Blake RANAS back, then kips up! Blake runs up, but Hologram goes up and over. They both handspring, and Blake shadows Hologram. Blake chest bumps Hologram, then wheelbarrows, but Hologram rolls through to then step over, bridge back, but Blake turns that around on Hologram! Hologram keeps Blake away with boots, then rolls him up, ONE! DROPKICKS cancel out, both men kip up, and the fans fire up!

Blake mockingly applauds, but the fans rally behind Hologram. Blake offers a handshake, but then he SLAPS Hologram! The fans boo, Blake talks trash, and then Blake whips. Hologram handsprings, rolls, and SOBATS, KICKS, and CHOPS! The fans fire up as Blake flops back! Hologram builds speed, but Blake is up! Blake TOSSES Hologram out, then he builds speed. But Hologram ducks the slide! Blake runs up, Hologram sends Blake up to the apron! Blake mule kicks, but Hologram avoids the Quebrada! Hologram SUPERKICKS, then he goes to the apron! Blake avoids the leap, Hologram comes back, but Blake sends him into steel steps!

The fans boo while Hologram is down, but Collision goes to picture in picture.

Lee applauds Blake and Blake rolls into the ring. Blake distracts the ref so that Lee can stomp away on Hologram! Big Shotty gets away with that, and Blake waits on Hologram. Hologram rises, Blake builds speed, FOSBURY TOPE! Blake offers high-fives to the fans, but he leaves them all hanging. Blake drags Hologram up, puts him in the ring, then he stomps Hologram. Blake brings Hologram up, and he pulls at the mask! The ref reprimands, but Hologram KICKS Blake from below! Blake storms up to stomp Hologram again! Blake drags Hologram onto the ropes, CHOKES him, but stops as the ref counts.

Blake runs to STRADDLE ATTACK Hologram! Blake drags Hologram back up but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Blake has Hologram down with a motorcycle stretch. Hologram fights up as the fans rally, but Blake spins Hologram to keep the hold. But Hologram flips through, reels Blake in, NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Things speed up, and Hologram SHOTGUNS Blake first! Blake bails out, the fans fire up, and Hologram builds speed to DIVE! Lee takes the hit for Blake! The fans fire up, Hologram hurries to find Blake, but Blake kicks low! Blake drags Hologram up onto the barriers?! But Hologram fires body shots! And he RANAS Blake to the floor! Blake narrowly avoids hitting the steel steps and the fans fire up!

Hologram high-fives the front row, then stalks after Blake. Hologram goes up the steel steps, Lee storms up but Hologram mule kicks him! Blake jumps up to SPANISH FLY to the floor! Blake puts Hologram in, then springboards for a 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Hologram survives and Blake is frustrated! Blake slaps Hologram around, eggs him on, and then puts some stank on the- HEEL KICK from Hologram! Hologram fires up, he blocks Blake’s kick, but Blake SUPERKICKS from the other side! Blake whips, Hologram reverses, Blake rolls off the back, and he shoves Hologram to then SNAP POWERSLAM!

Blake somersaults to go to the ropes, LIONSAULT, but he has to bail out! Blake keeps running, Hologram gets him for a SPANISH FLY! Hologram fires up, torture racks Blake, but Blake slips free! Blake SWATS a lariat, ELBOWS Hologram, BODY BLOWS and BACKHANDS! SLING-DOG! Blake fires up, the fans boo, but Blake handsprings, into the torture rack! Airplane spin and PORTAL BOMB!! Cover, HOLOGRAM WINS!

Winner: Hologram, by pinfall

Vanilla Babyface was spicy, but Hologram comes out hotter! Will this 22-0 streak show Hologram is ready for a golden opportunity?

 

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Kris Statlander.

Lexy is now with La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest as she says we can officially announce they are also entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Kris says that last year, she was a completely different person in a much different place. But she still had the same goals as she does today. “To every woman in this tournament, and to every woman in the locker room, you can’t stop Stat!” Rosa says, “Unless you face me.” Much respect to Kris, but like Rosa told Toni Storm, Rosa never lost the AEW Women’s World Championship, and she’s yet to wear one since. So believe her when she says this: She will scratch and claw harder than ever to have the Cup above her head.

Kris says, “Unless you face me.” Rosa says okay, mamacita. See you in the Owen. They each wish the other luck, and then head out. Will La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest battle to prove who is TRULY the best of the best?

 

Jamie Hayter VS Billie Starkz!

Hayter was preparing for Aminata, but it would seem Aminata’s loss to Hart has also lost her some time in the ring. But Billie is ready to step up to prove herself worthy of AEW’s bright lights! Will this be the start of Starkz’s legacy? Or will Hayter Hit Hard enough to be the number one seed in the Owen Hart Cup?

The bell rings and Billie circles with Hayter. Milwaukee cheers on Billie and Hayter encourages it. The two then tie up, and Hayter powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts, Hayter lets off with a pat on the shoulder, and Billie frowns. The two reset, tie up again, and Hayter again powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts again, and Hayter lets off with another pat on the shoulder. Billie frowns again, but the fans duel, “Let’s Go, Jamie!” “Billie Starkz!” They tie up, Hayter headlocks, and she grinds Billie down. Billie powers up and out, but Hayter runs Billie over! Things keep moving and Hayter runs Billie over again!

Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, but Billie is right up to stare Hayter down. The fans cheer, but Hayter pie faces Billie! Billie ROCKS Hayter! Billie whips, then follows, and she sunset flips over, TWO! Hayter gets up, Billie BUZZSAWS her down! The fans rally up, Billie whips Hayter but Hayter reverses. Hayter runs up, but into an ELBOW! Hayter comes back, but into a BOOT! Hayter is annoyed, she blocks boots this time but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Billie goes up, up, but Hayter TOSSES Billie down! Billie writhes, rises, and Hayter is up the corner to MISSILE DROPKICK! Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Hayter stalks Billie, stomps her down, then stands on her! Billie endures until Hayter steps off, and then Hayter puts Billie on the ropes. Hayter CHOKES Billie, the ref counts, and Hayter steps off at 4. Hayter “apologizes” before she stalks Billie. Hayter drags Billie up, DDTS her by the ropes, then puts her back on the ropes. Hayter KNEE DROPS on Billie’s back, then KNEE DROPS again! And again! The ref reprimands but Hayter backs off. Hayter fires up the fans, then she goes back to kneel on Billie’s neck! The ref reprimands and counts, that’s not a cover! Hayter backs off, “apologizes” again, then has Billie in a corner.

Hayter smacks Billie off buckles, then runs her corner to corner to smack her off more buckles! Then Hayter goes to a third corner for buckle bumps! Hayter says let’s finish the set, and she runs Billie corner to corner for a buckle bump! Billie falls back, Hayter dusts her hands off, and then brings Billie up. But Billie WRINGS Hayter’s arm! And she SUPERKICKS Hayter down! Hayter staggers up, ducks the heel kick, and she shoves Billie for a SPINEBUSTER! Hayter then turns Billie over, HALF CRAB! Billie endures, reaches out for ropes, but Hayter sits deep on the hold! Billie reaches out, grits her teeth, and Collision returns to single picture.

Hayter tells Billie to just give up, but Billie refuses! The fans rally harder, and Billie powers up! Billie claws and crawls, to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Hayter lets go in frustration. Hayter runs, but Billie DUMPS her to the apron! Hayter swings, Billie ducks it to sweep the legs! SUPERKICK and Hayter goes to the floor! Billie builds speed and DIVES! Down goes Hayter at the ramp! Billie rises, the fans fire up, and Billie drags Hayter up and into the ring. Billie hurries up the corner while Hayter is down, SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Hayter stays in this and Billie is seeing what it is to be a former world champion.

Billie drags Hayter up, reels her in, and suplexes, only for Hayter to slip free! The fans duel while Hayter fireman’s carries, but Billie slips free to throw her down! Hayter gets up, DOUBLE FOREARMS from both women connect! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES connect, too! And then Hater SHOTGUNS Billie into a corner! The fans rally up harder while both women are down! Billie drags herself up with the ropes, Hayter rises at center. Hayter powers up, kisses the bicep, but Billie ducks the lariat to suplex! GHOSTBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives and Billie is shocked! Billie seethes, and she storms up on Hayter!

Billie Electric Chair Lifts Hayter, but Hayter fires hands! Hayter shoves Billie away, fireman’s carries, and USHIGOROSHI! Hayter runs, and SLIDING HAYTERADE!! Cover, TWO!! Billie survives and now Hayter is frustrated! Hayter is seeing why Billie is the first and former ROH Women’s TV Champion. Hayter hauls Billie up, but Billie ducks the lariat! SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Billie powers up, runs, but Hayter follows to LARIAT at the ropes! Hayter runs, Billie follows, and Billie BOOTS Hayter at the ropes! Billie runs, but Hayter SUPERKICKS! And ENZIGIRIS! Billie winds up, but Hayter gets under! GERMAN SUPLEX!! Cover, TWO!!

The fans are thunderous while Hayter is beside herself. Hayter grits her teeth and vows to end it! Hayter throws off the armbands, drags Billie up to wind up and- NO, Billie ducks the lariat to cravat and KNEE SMASH, then HEEL KICK! Billie fires up, winds up, but Hayter ducks that shot! Billie tries again, but Hayter blocks it to a cording hold! Hayter brings Billie along as she goes to the ropes, SPRINGBOARD HAYTERADE!!! Cover, HAYTER WINS!

Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall

Now that was a Collision! Hayter is back, and she finds a new way to hit hard! Athena walks out on stage, and she waves hi to Hayter. Whether Billie impressed her or disappointed her, Athena now has her eyes on Hayter and everyone else in the Owen Hart Cup. Will the Fallen Goddess learn for herself that Hayter Hits Hard? Or will the Owen Hart Cup join the Athena World Domination Tour soon enough?


My Thoughts:

A very good Collision, talky as usual, but very good build towards Dynasty and the Owen Hart Cup simultaneously. Great opening promo from Toni, because she’s always great at promos, but they did a great job framing Ford’s blindside attack on Toni. And while Toni takes down Ford, Megan of course gets the last say on Toni. Toni is the underdog champion, knows she is, but knows she won’t let that stop her, and surely she comes out on top at Dynasty. Good promo from The Death Riders to hype up Dynamite. Claudio was very clever in using “Edge” and “Cope” in his part, and he will have a great match against Cope, but I would think Cope wins.

Marina had a great part calling out Willow, and that Mixed Tornado Tag will be awesome stuff. Dax VS Yuta was great, too, and real good win for Yuta. Dax losing his cool further waters the seed that is an FTR Heel Turn, but if this keeps up between Dax and Cash, could we end up with FTR VS FTR? That’d be rather wild, but it’d also make sense since FTR at some point said they were drawing closer to the end of their careers. A tag team like them, that has already done so much, having a 1v1 against each other is kinda the last thing to check off their bucket lists.

Great tag match from Bill & Keith VS Top Flight, one of the best Top Flight’s had in a minute since they’ve been going back and forth between AEW and ROH, but I figured Bill & Keith would win. They want their shot at The Hurt Syndicate, this gets them a step closer to that, and Top Flight still has The Cru after them anyway. I’m just not sure The Cru asking Nick Wayne to help out against Top Flight & AR Fox is the kind of story continuity they should be using right about now… Nick’s busy with this story against Christian Cage, he should focus on that. Unless the point is, if Patriarchy falls apart, Nick needs somewhere to go and someone to hand out with. But then The Cru is just three- Gasp! Cru-serweights…!

Great promo segment from Cole, Garcia and their friends, but uh, the announcement came in right as this segment started, so for us at home, it completely undercut how Garcia and Cole were building to making the No Time Limit title match. This is all still the right move, and Garcia telling Menard to stay away from ringside was a wild twist. Cole VS Garcia could be a borderline show stealer given how great their 20 minute draw was last time. And I still think that Cole should win the title, just so he finally has something in AEW aside from the tag title run alongside MJF. As for Garcia, losing the TNT title could be his opportunity to move on to another title, like the International or Continental Championship.

Hologram VS Blake was a rather random match to put on, but whatever, still great stuff. I wonder who finally pins/submits Hologram to end his win streak. It’d have to be someone that fans already have strong feelings for, good or bad. Like, Ospreay could get away being the guy that beats Hologram because it’s Ospreay. At the same time, MJF or Jericho could beat Hologram because not only do they have the power level, but fans love to hate them anyway so they’d love to hate MJF or Jericho as the guy who ended the streak.

And great stuff with the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, but also a build between Mercedes Mone and Athena. Mone of course beat Robyn Renegade, but she of course also had to talk trash on Billie & Athena. Athena finally being on AEW TV is great in itself, and she had a good promo with Billie to touch on the love-hate relationship between Minion Overlord and Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths that we’ve seen the past two years on ROH. Aminata going down with injury is a shame, and her promo with Deeb could’ve been a bit sharper on both ends. But Deeb naturally puts it on Aminata that Aminata needs to either join her or wrestle her, and I’m thinking we get the latter.

Good promo from Rosa and Statlander to not only add them to the Owen Hart Cup but to tease their match-up. Hayter VS Billie was a great main event, and it was another great showing for Billie in the loss. Athena confronting Hayter was also good stuff, and both Owen Hart Cups are looking to be the most star-studded ones yet. But as it stands, I’m thinking Rosa wins to get that world title match she has yet to get, and then we get Mone VS Athena for the TBS Championship, as teased tonight. All In: Texas will basically give both Rosa and Athena homefield advantage, and it’d be pretty wild if both of them won titles then.

My Score: 8.8/10
