PLAY BY PLAY
Jon Moxley is here!
The UNDISPUTED AEW World Champion is in Chicago, and Chicago is fired up to see him entering from the crowd side! Moxley takes his time to enjoy the cheers before getting in the ring. He gets the mic and fans suddenly start chanting for CM Punk, but plenty of fans still chant for Moxley. Moxley shrugs and says, “Chicago, I know you love your boy, but I think they’re still mopping him off the mat in Cleveland.” Fans get real riled up hearing that. But if they wanna talk about it, let’s talk about it! Moxley once heard CM Punk described as, “The Modern Sixty Minute Man.” What a load of crap that turned out to be!
Moxley had 57 minutes left in him last week, but did Punk? Moxley doesn’t think so. “When guys get in the ring with me, the Undisputed AEW World Champion, the heart and soul of AEW, we find out what they’re really made of. I test them, I push them. And last week, we learned exactly what CM Punk is made of. At the moment where he hit me as hard as he could, he gave me his best shot, and he realized I didn’t care. And he knew I was just gonna keep coming forward, and keep coming forward, all night. At that exact moment, he started looking for a way out.” Fans boo but Moxley says it’s true! Punk claimed his foot hurt and he folded up into a little ball to die!
Fans duel again between Moxley and Punk, but Moxley says champions never fold. They have no idea how genuinely sorry Moxley is that Punk didn’t turn out to be what Chicago wanted him to be, or what anyone wanted him to be when he got back into this business. We all gave him a second chance in the greatest sport in the world, and it just didn’t work out. And while Moxley is sorry for that, he knows Chicago loves him, Moxley has ZERO sympathy for Punk! That is because CM Punk has a fragile ego, fragile body, weak mind and weak spirit. The business is tough, it is what it is, and we move on.
Speaking of, Moxley has in his pocket an Open Challenge contract for a title match at All Out! It’s already signed, so he’ll just leave it right here. Because when he says anybody, anytime, any place, he means it! Fans chant for MJF, but Moxley says who knows who will sign this contract. Maybe it’s someone in AEW, maybe it’s someone from somewhere else. Maybe it’s someone from NJPW. Mox runs that, too! Does Rocky Romero have anyone else left? Let Moxley know! But whoever signs the contract, whoever wants to fight Mox, whoever wants to find out exactly what they’re made of, know this:
Before you step into the ring with Jon Moxley, he can out marathon you, he can out sprint you, he can out fight you, and he can out wrestle you. And it doesn’t matter who you are, he can assure you, he gives far fewer you-know-what’s than you do. He is the UNDISPUTED AEW World Champion, he is the fire-breathing, blood-spitting, living embodiment of pro-wrestling! He is indominable personified! “Wrestling Jon Moxley may be hazardous to your health. Whoever you are, you’ve been warned!” Moxley throws down the challenge, who will accept it to go All Out this Sunday?
Wait, someone heads to the ring!
AEW Producer, Ace Steel, grabs up the contract? He is a friend to CM Punk, and he puts the contract in his pocket. Is he going to sign it? Or is he hand delivering it to the Best in the World?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Tony Schiavone reminds us of the 1v1 match between Lionheart Jericho and the American Dragon, Bryan Danielson, this Sunday at All Out. Jericho says the Lionheart VS The American Dragon is a dream match for most, but a nightmare match for one, and that one is Bryan. And Jericho will tell us all why. Last week, Bryan asked if Stu Hart & Owen Hart were still alive, who would they think is the better wrestler between Jericho and Bryan. That has been bugging Jericho all week. Then Jericho realized, the Harts would appreciate Bryan’s wrestling skills a little more, but they would appreciate what Jericho’s done in the business way more.
Jericho has changed the game, accomplished so much, and that would impress Stu & Owen. And those accolades are going to include beating Bryan this Sunday. But in steps Daniel Garcia. He apologizes for being immature and ungrateful, and he pledges his loyalty to the Jericho Appreciation Society through and through. And this Sunday, Garcia knows Jericho will beat Bryan. Jericho’s the Lionheart, the Greatest Of All Time, it won’t even be close. And Garcia knows Jericho won’t need to cheat or attack from behind or have a distraction to do it. All Jericho needs to do is be the best version of himself, because Garcia believes in him.
Jericho appreciates that, and he believes in Garcia, too. Garcia is the most technically gifted Sports Entertainer in the world today! And this Sunday, it will be Lionheart Jericho. But until then, all’s far in wrestling and romance. So watch you back, Bryan! Garcia doesn’t like the sound of that, but will he accept the way Jericho does things now that he’s fully dedicated to the JAS?
Bryan Danielson VS Jake Hager!
William Regal joins commentary, as does Chris Jericho, but this match is meant to be just the American Dragon taking on the Big Hurt. Will Hager put the hurt on Bryan to tenderize him for Lionheart Chris Jericho at All Out?
The bell rings and the two circle. Fans rally for Bryan, but they also still sing some of Judas. Bryan tests the waters with kicks but Hager stays up. Hager pushes Bryan to ropes but Bryan gets free to KICK the leg. Hager shakes that off and circles with Bryan again. Bryan gets a leg but Hager facelocks to block. Hager puts Bryan in the corner while fans taunt him with “WE THE PEOPLE!” The ref counts but Hager throws body shots! The ref counts and reprimands, and Hager lets off at 4. Hager then TOSSES Bryan across the ring! Hager runs in but Bryan BOOTS him! Bryan jumps on but Hager stays up in the Guillotine hold!
Hager grits his teeth and powers up to throw Bryan off! Bryan baits Hager in, throws him out and builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit and Hager hits railing! Fans fire up as Bryan goes the apron for the LEAP, but into Hager’s arms! Hager runs and SPINEBUSTERS Bryan through the timekeeper’s table! Chicago loses its mind over that one! Hager gets up and roars but fans boo. Hager points to Jericho on commentary and then drags Bryan up. Hager POSTS Bryan, then POSTS him again! Bryan writhes, clutching his back, and the ring count climbs. Hager hauls Bryan up to suplex him to the floor! The ref reprimands but Hager gets in the ring to refresh the count.
Hager looms over Bryan, puts him in the ring, then rains down forearms! Bryan guards but Hager just keeps hammering him! Bryan tries to get Hager’s leg but Hager holds off the grapevine to then ROCK Bryan with a right hand! Hager paces around Bryan while fans boo, but Hager hauls Bryan up into a corner. Hager RAMS his shoulder in, lets off as the ref counts, and then he carries Bryan around for a SPINEBUSTER! Fans boo and AEW goes picture in picture.
Hager looms over Bryan, digs his knee into Bryan’s back, and then brings Bryan back with some chicken wings. Bryan endures and fans rally up. Bryan fights up to his feet, puts Hager in a corner, and Hager lets off, to CHOP Bryan down! Bryan throws body shots but Hager CLUBS him! Hager CHOPS Bryan again, and Bryan staggers away to another corner. Hager CHOKES Bryan on the ropes, but lets off as the ref counts. Hager stomps Bryan in the corner, lets off again, then digs his boot in. The ref counts as Hager stands on Bryan’s chest, and Hager hops off at 4. Hager blows a kiss to Chicago then drags Bryan up.
Hager tosses Bryan out of the ring, goes out after him, and RAMS him into railing! Fans fire up as Hager RAMS Bryan into more railing! Hager then puts Bryan back in the ring, soaks up the heat from Chicago and flexes as he paces around. Hager stalks Bryan to a corner, stands him up, and throws heavy body shots. Hager hoists Bryan up top, fans rally, and Hager CHOPS Bryan again! Dynamite returns to single picture as Hager climbs, and he CHOPS Bryan again! Hager shows off how big his hand is, and he ROCKS Bryan with haymaker after haymaker! Fans count, Hager stops at 5 because the ref is counting, but Bryan stands up! MISSILE DROPKICK!
Fans fire up while both men are down! Bryan fires himself up as the standing count climbs! Bryan gets to ropes at 4, dodges Hager and fires off KICKS! Hager drops, Bryan KICKS him more and more! Bryan powers up to BUZZSAW! Cover, TWO! But Bryan hurries to clamp on, for HAMMER ‘N” ANVIL ELBOWS! Hager blocks one, snapmares Bryan and then hoists him up! Bryan sunset flips through, but Hager drags him up! Bryan wants the ARMBAR, but Hager stays up to rain down HAMMER FISTS! But Bryan uses that to get a TRIANGLE HOLD! Bryan throws more elbows, but Hager deadlifts him! POWERBOMB!
Hager catches his breath, crawls after Bryan, and he throws down more hammer fists! Bryan again catches Hager, for the omoplata! Hager resists as Bryan reaches for his head, and he pushes Bryan back! ANKLE LOCK! Bryan endures, rolls, and leg picks to get the arm! LEBELL LOCK!! Hager reaches, fans are thunderous, and Hager crawls to the ROPEBREAK! Fans boo but Bryan lets off. Hager gets to a corner, fans rally up and Bryan CHOPS Hager! And KICKS! And CHOPS! And KICKS! Another CHOP, then Bryan runs corner to corner to DROPKICK! Bryan goes again, but Hager scoops him for an URENAGE!
Hager moves around to go for the Head ‘n’ Arm, but Bryan slips around to make it a cover, TWO!! Hager lets off, Bryan dodges him, comes back, BUSAIKU KNEE!! Cover, Bryan wins!
Winner: Bryan Danielson, by pinfall
Chicago is fired up, but here comes Angelo Parker & Matthew Menard! The JAS won’t let Bryan be in good shape for All Out, they’re mugging him right in the ring! But here comes the BCC! Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta rush the ring and brawl with Cool Hand Ange and Daddy Magic! Claudio TOSSES Parker out of the ring, Yuta kicks Menard out! The brawling continues and Claudio sends Parker up the ramp! Yuta RAMS Menard into railing! Claudio drags Parker to the back and Yuta starts sending Menard that way. But Jericho brings a chair to the ring! Le Champion wants some insurance, but GARCIA rushes out here!
Garcia snatches the chair from Jericho!! Garcia and Jericho argue, they just talked about how Lionheart Jericho shouldn’t need all this! Jericho is upset, he turns around to look for Bryan, and gets a BUSAIKU KNEE for it!! Fans cheer as Bryan gets even with the JAS, and Garcia is conflicted all over again. Will that affirmation of loyalty mean nothing when Jericho isn’t even honest enough to face Bryan head on?
The Wingmen are in the ring… protesting?
Peter Avalon, Cezar Bononi, JD Drake & Ryan Nemeth have suddenly appeared, and while the others hold up picket signs with slogans like “MORE WINGMEN ON TBS & TNT,” “MORE WINGMEN ON TV!” and “GIVE THE WINGMEN MORE SCREENTIME,” the Hollywood Hunk has the mic. “Well, well, well! Wednesday night again, and guess who’s not booked again? I’ll give you a clue: it’s the hottest, handsomest, sexiest, prettiest, hunkiest boys on the roster! The Wingmen!” Avalon gets the mic to say, “And from now on, Wednesday nights will be known as Wingman Wednesdays! Pinkies out, boys!”
Wait! W MORRISSEY is here! The 7 foot tall mountain of a man is back in AEW, and he is storming right up to the ring. The Wingmen stand their ground, JD Drake trying to keep everyone calm. But then Bononi rushes Morrissey, and gets a BOOT for it! Nemeth & Avalon try but they get DOUBLE CLOTHESLINES! Drake CHOPS, but Morrissey doesn’t flinch! Morrissey fires up and shouts, “You wanna hit me?!” Drake tries again but Morrissey choke grips! CHOKE SLAM! Stokely Hathaway walks out to the ring now as Morrissey grabs Nemeth, RAMS him into Bononi, then reel shim back in for an even bigger CHOKE SLAM! Morrissey BOOTS Bononi out of the ring!
Fans fire up for Morrissey while Avalon staggers around. Stokely watches from the apron and Avalon begs for mercy! But when Morrissey doesn’t walk away, Avalon figures what the hell! Avalon tears off his shirt, fires up and runs in, but into a choke grip! Morrissey holds Avalon way over head, tells someone, or maybe everyone, that he’s watching them, then hits a GIGANTIC CHOKE SLAM!! Stokely finally steps into the ring, and he hands Morrissey his card. Is this stable Stokely is building just gotten that much bigger?
Tony Schiavone stops them at the ramp to ask Stokely what all these offers are about. What is Stokely planning with these wrestlers he’s recruiting? Stokely says it’s none of our business. Now, hold on! This is AEW, so it IS our business! Stokely grabs Tony’s collar and gets in Tony’s face as he shouts, “I said it’s none of your business!!” Tony pushes Stokely back, but Morrissey steps up. Tony has them settle down but Chicago is on Tony’s side. But the question is valid: Just what is Stokely planning? How far is he going to expand his brand?
Backstage interview with The United Empire.
Alex Marvez is in the locker room area and notes that later tonight, our main event will be the “Dynamite Finals” of the AEW World Trios Championships Tournament, with Will Ospreay & The United Empire facing The Elite. Ospreay says finally, after all these years, after the Cease & Desists and the constant undermining, Ospreay gets Omega. But then Don Callis walks in. Callis tells “William” it’s been a long time since Japan. Great to see Ospreay lighting it up there. Callis admires everything Ospreay does, and his performance last week on Dynamite was “absolutely fantastic.”
Callis says a lot of people feel Ospreay is the “Next Kenny Omega.” But that’s not the case. Callis says Ospreay is his own man. This is Will BAH GAWD Ospreay! He’s the man everyone’s talking about. And tonight, this will be the most exciting match for Callis since the last time we saw Omega and Ospreay in a tag match against each other. Ospreay took a One Winged Angel that night, but surely this will be different. Callis pats Ospreay on the shoulder, but Ospreay tells Callis to go. Right, of course, they’ve got to get ready for the match. Marvez, you heard him, get outta here. Callis leaves, and Ospreay does agree there, he has Marvez leave.
It seems the IWGP US Heavyweight Champion didn’t appreciate two-faced Callis heaping on the praise there. Will Will Ospreay make Callis actually mean it the next time he says Ospreay’s absolutely fantastic?
Toni Storm & Hikaru Shida VS Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter w/ Rebel!
Thunder Rosa’s injury prevents her from defending the title at All Out, so these four women will fight in a Fatal 4 Way to crown an Interim AEW Women’s World Champion! Will there be dysfunction in either of the teams? Or will The Doctor and her assistant be united in gaining momentum for the title match?
The teams sort out and Shida wants after Britt, but Hayter pie faces her and says she’s Shida’s opponent! So Shida ROCKS Hayter! Hayter kicks low, headlocks, but Shida powers out. Hayter runs Shida over but Shida kips up! Fans fire up, Hayter runs and runs Shida over again! Hayter drags Shida up to scoop, but Shida slips off and dodges the haymaker to redirect Hayter and RANA! OW, that faceplant! The ref checks Hayter but Shida tags Storm. Hayter is somehow okay so Storm stands her up for a EuroUpper! Storm stomps a mudhole into Hayter in the corner, tags Shida back in, and Shida climbs up. Storm holds Hayter in place for the AX HANDLES!
Shida stalks Hayter, brings her back around and tags Storm back in. Storm climbs now and she drops AX HANDLES! Storm drags Hayter up but Hayter JAWBREAKERS her away! Hayter hurries and tags Britt! Britt runs in but into a drop toehold! Storm drags Britt and whips her to the corner. Storm UPPERCUTS Britt, sweeps the legs, then backs up, only for Hayter to be there! Storm BOOTS Hayter for sneaking up on her, but Britt waistlocks Storm! Britt wristlocks and ripcords, but Storm ROCKS Britt first! Britt wobbles, Storm ROCKS her again, then Storm whips. Britt reverses and Hayter trips Storm up!
Hayter hammers Storm’s legs and Britt hurries to grab at Storm’s head but the ref has them back off. Britt stomps Storm instead, the ref reprimands her and Hayter, who is still hammering the thighs, and AEW goes picture in picture.
Hayter and Britt finally let off, and Britt drags Storm up to talk trash. Britt puts Storm in the corner, stomps away, then goes outside to drag Storm deeper into the corner. Britt pulls on Storm’s arms to pull her into the post! Hayter taunts Shida, the ref counts, and Britt lets off. Britt gets in the ring, drags Storm up, and keeps her from Shida by pulling hair! Tag to Hayter, Hayter CLUBS Storm down, then bumps Storm off buckles. Hayter bumps Storm off buckles again, then soaks up the heat. Hayter CLUBS Storm, keeps her from Shida again, and stomps away. Storm snap suplexes Storm, covers, TWO!
Hayter puts Storm back in the corner, tags Britt in, and then Hayter DECKS Shida with a sucker punch! Britt CHOKES Storm and the ref reprimands them both. Britt lets off, argues with the ref, and Hayter CHOKES Storm now! Hayter lets off in time, then Britt digs her boots in. The ref counts, Britt lets off, and Britt brings Storm up to ROCK her. Storm hits back, Britt ROCKS and whips Storm to a corner. Britt runs corner to corner, into a back elbow! Storm goes up the corner but Britt ROCKS Her again! Britt climbs up after Storm, but Storm CLUBS away on her! Storm and Britt fight for control as Dynamite returns to single picture.
Storm ROCKS Britt and she hops off the corner, then Storm reels her in! TORNADO DDT! Britt hurries to tag Hayter, and Hayter drags Storm from Shida. Storm BOOTS Hayter away, then hot tags Shida! The Full Metal Samurai blocks a shot, ROCKS Hayter, then goes up the corner to rain down fists! The fans count all the way to 10, and Shida fires up to DROPKICK Hayter! Shida brings Hayter in to suplex, hold on, and SLAM her down! Fans fire up with Shida as she goes to the apron. Shida climbs up the ropes, and springboards to METEORA! Cover, Britt breaks it in time! Storm gets in and she SHOTGUNS Britt down!
Shida drags Hayter up and she coordinates with Storm. Hayter holds off the double suplex to DOUBLE SUPLEX them! Tag to Britt and she hurries to drag Shida up. Britt fisherman’s for the FISHERMAN SCREW! Cover, TWO! Britt keeps on Shida with a wristlock, ripcords, but Shida turns that into a roll-up! TWO!! Britt escapes, SUPERKICKS Shida, and Rebel fires up! Fans duel as Britt snarls and runs. Shida avoids the stomp to waistlock! Britt switches, ripcords again, ROLLING ELBOW! Shida wobbles and Britt gets her glove! But Shida gets up to go up the corner! VENUS SHOOT!! Fans fire up while both women are down!
Shida bails out of the ring, she sees Hayter reaching out, so Shida trips Hayter off the apron! Storm runs in to SWEETÂ HIP MUSIC!! Storm then gets Hayter with a TORNADO DDTÂ to the floor! Shida gets back in the ring, aims at Britt, KATANA KICK!! Cover, Shida & Storm win!
Winners: Toni Storm & Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
The #FullMetalStorm conquers the Doctor and her assistant! They shake hands, because they know that it will be every woman for herself on Sunday. Will Shida go All Out to become a double champion? Will it finally be #ToniTime in AEW? Or will we see a TWO-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion in Dr. Britt Baker, DMD?
AEW hears from Kip Sabian and PAC.
“I’m a stickler for the details, but even the most meticulously thought out master plan can’t prepare for the perfect opportunity to just fall at your feet.” The Bastard fell for the simplest of ruses in that decoy box head. Kip can read him like a book! But the All-Atlantic Champion says, “Underrated, underappreciated, over it? I get it, Kip. After what you did, Kip, you have pestered me and badgered me, you want a shot at the All-Atlantic Championship.” Kip says that title is the perfect detour. And Sunday, Pac will be the first to “embrace the change.” Will Mr. Superbad have the perfectly planned return to action by making Pac the first former All-Atlantic Champion?
Miro speaks.
“Malakai Black, all I wanted to do last week was redeem you. But you attacked me, and you put your hands on the Redeemer! Darby, Sting, the last one who tried to help me ended up shaking so hard in Heaven, he shook three hands in hell. My God was so scared that he made a deal with the devil to take me out. How is that working out for you, you coward?! You think your mist can match my power?”
But then Darby Allin steps in! “Malakai, I think you’re very intimidated with what Brody King has been able to accomplish without you. Think about it! You were nowhere around when he choked me out and won the Royal Rampage. You were nowhere around when he beat me in the middle of the ring on Dynamite. Malakai, you need Buddy and Brody, they don’t need you. And the sooner they realize that, the faster your House is gonna burn down. Sting walks in, and says, “The enemy of the enemy is a friend! Showtime begins now!”
Miro says this Sunday, he will wreck the fools and Pagans, and they will all find out his power. They will come in wearing masks to hide their fear, only to leave with ones that deliver oxygen. For this is the word of the Redeemer! Will the #RelentlessIcons help Miro lay waste to the House of Black once and for all?
CM Punk is here!
Chicago fires up for their hometown hero as he walks out to the ring. However, Punk doesn’t look as excited, though that has a lot to do with how he lost the AEW World Championship last week in Moxley’s territory. Punk gets in the ring, gets the mic and already looks emotional as fans chant his name. “June 1st, I broke my foot. And that would’ve been bad enough, but then I wrestled an entire match on it, and to quote my surgeon, he says I pulverized the bones in my foot. So okay. Accidents happen. On June 8th, I got surgery for my shattered foot. I got three plates and sixteen screws put into my foot.
“Which real quick, is sixteen more times than this fat guy’s ever gotten screwed in his life.” WHOA~! But that’s what you get for heckling. Fans cheer Punk for that one, and Punk continues. “I probably shouldn’t have said that. But I probably shouldn’t have done a lot of things in my career. And apparently one of them was coming back too early from a very serious injury. And last week, I got beat up in Cleveland, and I had to drive home with just my thoughts. It’s okay, Chicago, it’s not the first time I’ve been beat up in Cleveland. But something about this time just didn’t sit well with me. Is my foot 100%? To be completely honest with you, yes.
“Last week, I was cleared by doctors, the x-rays look good. But the problem is, it’s a new 100%. And I don’t know if that 100% is good enough.” Fans don’t like the sound of where this is going, but Punk says he came back to pro-wrestling a year ago because he loves the business. And he knows the business doesn’t always love you back, but he came back because he loves the fans. Fans cheer that, and Punk says they do love him back. That’s why it hurts to feel like he let them down. “I wasn’t able to walk Larry for two months, and it hurt because I let him down so I could rush back to perform in front of all of you.”
Punk looks and sees his little sister in the front row, he feels like he let her down. “Maybe that love just…” Punk has to take a moment, and then continues. “Maybe that love just isn’t enough anymore.” But then Ace Steel marches out to the ring! He gets Punk’s attention and asks, “What is this?” Ace gets in the ring with Punk and asks what Punk is saying. This isn’t what they talked about when they agreed he’d come out here. Ace isn’t sure what happened between there and here, but this isn’t Punk. Ace apologizes for interrupting, but he trained Punk, and has been his coach since day one! Since the first day Punk walked into the Steel Domain, Punk has been fighting from underneath.
Punk has fought through everything to get to where he is! Ace has a career he is proud of, but he is most proud of Punk’s career, because Ace was there to coach him. Ace was coaching Punk from day one to do all this. They’re not just friends, they’ve seen those come and go. These two are family. And you don’t let family down! He didn’t let Chicago down! He filled an arena on a rumor that after seven years, he’d come back. And Ace isn’t letting Punk leave now. Punk fought his heart out in Cleveland, but he lost. So what? In Punk’s own words, “Life isn’t about how many times you get knocked down, it’s how many times you get up.” And then Ace SLAPS Punk!
Ace tells Punk to get the F up and fight!! Fight Sunday! Sign the open contract! Chicago is all fired up as Ace tells Punk to sign the contract and fight Moxley! Ace shoves the contract into Punk’s hand and a pen into the other. Ace then tells Punk, “If you forgot who you are, tell him, Chicago!” Fans chant for “CM PUNK! CM PUNK!” Ace tells Punk to sign the contract! Punk unzips his jacket, hugs Ace, and says, “Before I was ever CM Punk, I was just a punk rock kid from Chicago! I was borne lonely at Christ Hospital, blue in the face, with the cord wrapped around my neck, because they’ve been trying to kill me since the day I was born!”
Punk says they ain’t found the man who’s man enough to do it yet! “And Jon Moxley, you ain’t him!” Fans are even more fired up and Punk gets in the crowd! He tells Moxley that he may be wild, but he ain’t wild enough! “This is Chicago, where the weak are killed and eaten!” Punk goes up the bleachers and across one of the rows to say Chicago has different kids, but they have the same heartbeat! One pulse running through the streets which are their arteries, and Punk will pump the blood until it stops pumping! “Jon Moxley, at All Out, you can’t break my bones! You can’t drink my blood! Because I, WE, ARE CHICAGO!”
Punk has someone hold the mic, and he finds his part in the contract! Punk signs on the dotted line, and it is official! Will Punk prove that he IS the Best in the World? Or will Moxley make sure he is still undisputed?
AEW shares Jim Ross’ interview with Christian Cage and Jungle Boy.
Good ol’ JR sits with Captain Charisma and Jungle Jack Perry, on one condition: No physicality. JR isn’t even sure how to approach this situation, but he knows that with no physicality, Christian’s elbow won’t get any worse, and AEW appreciates Christian taking the time to share hits thoughts about this coming match. Of course you appreciate it, JR. You signed Christian to his very first contract in the business, so JR knows Christian is professional to a T. And Christian agreed to no physicality because that’s not an issue for him.
On Sunday, Jack has to step into the ring, be face-to-face with Christian, and realize he’s not in Christian’s league. And even when he’s less than 100%, Christian will destroy JB. JB will be a has-been at just 25 years old. Christian hopes JB is prepared to live for the rest of his life with that. JB say as much as he’d like to sit here and stare at Christian’s stupid, smug face and tell him he hates him, it’s a bit more complicated than that. JB has cared about Christian a lot. Their friendship felt very familiar to JB in a lot of ways. JB loved Christian. Whether or not Christian really cared about JB, he made it feel like he loved JB back.
As much as JB would like to believe “the real” Christian is in there somewhere, this was probably the real him all along. Christian says yeah, this is the real him. He isn’t here to be JB’s friend. He isn’t here to be a father or father figure. JB won’t let Christian talk about his father but Christian says he is just here to make money and win championships. Christian is in AEW for Christian. JB tells Christian about his father, the late Luke Perry. JB’s father taught him what it means to be a man. That is a lesson JB will teach Christian! This Sunday, Christian isn’t wrestling “Jungle Boy.” This Sunday, he FIGHTS Jack Perry!!
Six Man Tag: FTR & Wardlow VS Silas Young, Ray Jones & Vic Capri!
So much gold on the trio formerly known as The Pinnacle! The IWGP, AAA & ROH World Tag Team Champions and the AEW TNT Champion know that at All Out, they’re facing Jay Lethal, one of the greatest ROH World Heavyweight Champions, and the Motor City Machine Guns, one of the greatest tag teams period. Will this tune-up be an exclamation point before writing the conclusion to their story with Lethal this Sunday?
Sonjay Dutt is watching this backstage and taking notes with that pencil of his. The trios sort out and Wardlow starts against Ray Jones. Fans rally as the two step up to each other. Ray says he isn’t scared, and he pokes Wardlow in the shoulder. Wardlow HEADBUTTS Ray then keeps him standing up. Wardlow aims the finger gun, BANG and the wind-up, BIG LARIAT! Ray flounders but Wardlow drags him away. Tag to Cash, he drags Ray up and whips him to ropes to CLOBBER him! Cash drags Ray up to snap suplex! Tag to Dax, he drags Ray up to bump off buckles. Dax CHOPS Ray, then CHOPS again!
Ray ROCKS Dax back with a right, and he drags Dax over to tag in “Ice Pick” Vic and the two mug Dax. Vic whips, Dax reverses and wrenches to short arm LARIAT! Dax drags Vic up, tags Cash, and then Cash tags Wardlow. FTR whips Vic for the BIG RIG, and then they wipe out Silas & Ray! Wardlow drags Vic up, reels him in, and gives him the POWERBOMB! Fans chant “ONE MORE TIME!” and Wardlow conducts them. Wardlow drags Vic up, reels him back in, brings the straps down, and FTR helps give Vic a TRIPLE POWERBOMB! Cover, the Pinnacle wins!
Winners: FTR & Wardlow, by pinfall
Sonjay finishes taking notes, but will any of that help his guys on Sunday? Or will nothing stop this gold-stacked team from crushing Lethal & the MCMG?
Jon Moxley returns!
He heads back to the ring and gets himself a mic because he clearly wants to respond to what we saw earlier! “If that’s what your boy wants, that’s exactly what he’s gonna get. If CM Punk wants to go out on his shield here in Chicago in front of his hometown fans who made him what he is today… Well, Chicago, I guess he does owe you that much. So it will be CM Punk VS Jon Moxley one more time, this Sunday at All Out for the AEW World Championship! And CM Punk, if you think you’ve got one more miracle left in you, you better find it fast. Because the moment that bell rings, you are in danger! I’ll be trying to take your damn head off!”
Moxley says he’s gonna put on a display, a show, of glorious brutality and pro-wrestling violence that CM Punk has never experienced! And he will show the world the difference between a fake messiah, a martyr, and the real thing! A real champion! A legend being made right before your eyes! Moxley is fired up now! Will Ace Steel and CM Punk regret thinking they can make a comeback at the Maniac’s expense?
Backstage interview with The Dark Order.
Tony Schiavone is with Evil Uno & Preston Vance. Because of an injury to Vance’s knee last week on Rampage, he cannot compete in the tournament match set for this Friday. Uno says it was to be Dark Order VS Best Friends, and though Vance’s knee is not up to par, The Dark Order always has a plan! Uno will step in for Vance and- Andrade El Idolo walks in! Vance stands up but Andrade has him and Uno calm down. Andrade is sorry to hear about the knee. Andrade says The Dark Order used to have power. What happened to them? Do they need money? Jose hands Uno a fat stack of $100 bills! Well, thank you for that.
Andrade says he was thinking about giving The Dark Order a contract to work for him. Vance has the body, but maybe he could take the mask off- Uno stops Andrade there. Maybe Andrade doesn’t understand this, but Uno & Vance are Dark Order Forever. Take your money, and your cheap cologne, and get out of here. Uno puts the money in Andrade’s shirt pocket, and Andrade DECKS Uno! Andrade sucker punches Vance, takes one of the crutches, and he SMACKS Uno with it! And again! Jose has Vance stand down by threatening him with a stun gun! Andrade and Jose leave, but where does this leave The Dark Order for Rampage?

Backstage interview with John Silver & Alex Reynolds.
Tony Schiavone knows they saw what happened to Uno & Vance, that takes out their two possible partners for Rampage! What’re they going to do? Reynolds says this Trios Tournament is the biggest opportunity the Dark Order has had in a long time. And if that means they have to go 3v2, then so be it. Silver says it’s not a big deal- Wait! Hangman Page walks in! He wanted this tournament to be their moment, but if Ten and Uno can’t do it, then they can count on him. Alright! Silver isn’t a booker or anything, but they’ll go get this figured out! This is awesome! Then Hangman Page is joining the tournament this Friday on Rampage! Will the Good, the Bad & The Hungy ride into the sunset once again?
AEW announces matches for All Out’s Zero Hour!

Speaking of All Out being a big deal, this tournament just keeps giving us incredible match-ups as The Cleaner, Kenny Omega, and the Young Bucks take on the Commonwealth Kingpin and Aussie Open! Everyone in this main event knows what it is to hold gold, but will the United Empire look to plant their flag in AEW? Or will The! Elite! The, the Elite return to prominence together?
“And now… He has a 1-0 record against Will Ospreay in their only singles match. He has a 3-0 trios record teaming with the Young Bucks VS Will Ospreay.

He was victorious in his comeback match on Dynamite, which did not take place in NOOORTH~ CAROLINA! He is… KENNY! OOOOOOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEGAAAA~!”
Chicago goes wild as Omega, with Callis and Michael Nakazawa behind him, makes his way out on stage. The pyro goes off and then Omega joins the Bucks in the ring. Callis of course joins commentary while the trios sort out, and Omega insists he start. The Bucks stand down and Ospreay BOOTS Omega at the bell! Ospreay headlocks, Omega powers out, but Ospreay RAMS shoulders. Omega stays up, fans fire up and Omega pie faces Ospreay. Ospreay gets in Omega’s face, fans are going nuts, and Omega kicks low.

A match worthy of the main event! A main event worthy of the AEW World Trios Championship Tournament! And a victory worthy of going to the finals at All Out! Will Omega & The Young Bucks prove they are worthy of being the inaugural champions? Who proves themselves worthy to be their opponents this Friday on Rampage?
My Thoughts:
What a great episode of AEW, especially for a go-home. It did start to feel a little talky in the middle, but AEW has been feeling a bit more talky lately. It’s still been good stuff, there’s just been a lot of it. Moxley had a great promo to open the show, but I just knew that even with it being an “open challenge,” it was going to be Punk answering it. Punk also had a great promo that really got the fans hyped up, but with it playing out this way, it just felt rather melodramatic to me. We will still get the awesome match we expected to see in Cleveland, but this was a very interesting route to take to get there.
Similarly, I had a feeling Hangman Page would somehow end up the third partner for Silver & Reynolds. Andrade whooping Uno after Vance was ruled out by his injury was a surprising way to get there, but maybe we also get a Dark Order VS LFI/AFO feud after All Out. And after just an amazing main event between The Elite and The United Empire, I am pretty sure we get Elite VS Dark Order & Hangman. It will be an awesome match that will reference all the story between Hangman and his old friends, and it will truly make that match hard to call. But news just came out that Bobby Fish’s AEW contract won’t be renewed, so I have a feeling we won’t get Undisputed VS Elite after all.
We got great stuff out of Bryan Danielson, Daniel Garcia and the rest of Jericho Appreciation Society. Bryan VS Hager was a great match and of course Bryan wins for momentum going into All Out. Garcia expects Jericho to be better than he is and that comes back to bite him when the rest of JAS attacks Bryan. Garcia costs Jericho here, so will he cost Bryan at All Out? I thought Garcia was joining BCC but it’s harder to tell what’s going to happen here. We also got a great return to AEW for W. Morrissey where he wipes out The Wingmen and then joins Stokely. And it was good that someone asked what Stokely’s planning. He’s either breaking away from The Baddies, or he’s creating a faction that is actually booked strong in both men’s and women’s divisions.
We got a great interview promo from Christian and JB, and of course AEW uses “No Physicality Agreement” here. Both men delivered their parts perfectly, and that is an even bigger deal for JB. JB is coming into his own through this feud, and win or lose, Jungle Boy will be a certified contender for a singles title going into the Fall. We got a good promo vignette from Pac and Kip to set up their title match, and a great promo from Miro, Darby & Sting to set up a Six Man Tag with House of Black. I have a feeling Pac retains, but anything can happen in #RelentlessRedeemers VS House of Black that then helps set up an eventual Miro VS Malakai 1v1 match.
FTR & Wardlow crush their opponents, and Silas didn’t even get to be part of the match. I again say that this is to set up FTR VS MCMG for the ROH tag titles, so there’s a good chance the team of #LethalMachineGuns finds a way to win. We got a great tag match from Storm & Shida VS Britt & Hayter, and the Faces win so there is half a chance Britt and Hayter conspire so that one of them (Britt) wins in the end. I’d like for Storm to win to vindicate her after how she was treated on main roster WWE and how things have been a little rocky in AEW, but Britt is a worthy Heel to become a two-time champion and taunt Toni in the chase, so it’s between those two to me.
And we got an awesome Fatal 4 Way to hype up the Casino Ladder Match. It is a bit strange that we’re getting two members each from three factions (Claudio & Yuta of BCC; the Lucha Bros of Death Triangle; and Andrade & Rush of LFI), and then it’s literally the Joker as the one person who isn’t attached to anyone. It was awesome to see Yuta get the win here tonight but he is the ROH Pure Champion, so don’t expect him to become a contender. Same for Claudio being ROH World Champion. And there’s still plenty of beef between Lucha Bros and LFI that those four could cancel out. The Joker usually isn’t the winner of these “casino” matches but this could be the time. Could it be… MJF?!
My Score: 8.8/10

“Hey, Dark order. I’m gonna give you a chance to fight for your lives. I’m gonna give you a chance to fight for your dreams. I’m gonna give you a chance to live your dreams, fight for your careers. Everything you’ve worked for for the last five years in AEW, I’m gonna give you a chance right now. Hey ref, you work for me, get your ass in the ring. We’re going to put the Trios Championships on the line again, right now! Ring the bell!” The fans boo but apparently Moxley has the power to do this. Can Uno, Reynolds & Silver turn the tides to take the power back?
AEW World Trios Championships: Blackpool Combat Club VS The Dark Order!
The bell rings, Silver stands, but Claudio UPERCUTS! Claudio fires fists on Silver, the ref counts but he also has to reprimands Marina for getting too close to Uno and Reynolds.

Claudio sits deep, but then Yuta has a chair!? The ref stops Yuta, but that’s so Pac can go up and DIVING DOUBLE STOMP Reynolds!! NOW Reynolds taps, BCC wins again!
Winners: The Blackpool Combat Club, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)
Yuta adds on CATTLE MUTILATION! The record books will say BCC won two matches in a row, but we all know how they pulled it off. And then the mugging just continues as Moxley steps on Uno and Pac kicks away on Silver. Reynolds continues to suffer the arm submission while Moxley makes Uno take a seat. Uno SLAPS Moxley! Moxley DECKS Uno, CHOKES Uno, and then Marina SMASHES Silver’s arm with the briefcase!! Here comes Garcia & Private Party! BCC retreats, but the damage has literally been done. Top Flight also rise back up, but it is a little too late. Orange Cassidy finds his way out here, is he going to reconsider what Garcia told him during Collision?
AEW Continental Championship: Kazuchika Okada VS Kyle O’Reilly!
The Elite is still golden after WrestleDream, but The Rainmaker might’ve taken the wrong tactic with the Violent Artist. Will Kyle kick Okada off the throne? Or will it continue to reign in AEW?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really elite around here!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They feel things out, then Okada backs away. The fans rally for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this a match. Okada and Kyle tie up, Okada waistlocks but Kyle wrenches to wristlock. Okada rolls, wrenches back, and the fans duel. Kyle squats to then spin and drop toehold!

Kyle endures, pries at the hold, and fans rally up. Kyle fights up but Okada wrangles him back down. Kyle pries at the hold again, but Okada digs his knee into Kyle’s back! Kyle still pries a finger!

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but also Beast Mortos. They wanted to talk with him, but are mostly feeding him fried chicken… Roddy says, “BEEEAST! Thanks for joining us.” Bennett gives Mortos more meat to eat, and Roddy says they really need to talk. What is going on with Mortos? Something seems off. Mortos growls but Bennett says no, he’s just confused. Mortos taking out Hologram like that? Not cool. Taven can’t believe LFI got Mortos to wear a polo shirt! Mortos never even wore a shirt when hanging out with The Kingdom. Not cool! And what is Mortos doing fisting (with) two other dudes? Really not cool.
But the most disappointing thing of all, is that this is all happening without The Kingdom! Roddy says they’re not mad, just disappointed. The Kingdom leaves but did Mortos even care what they said while chowing down on meat? If they keep trying to get Mortos back, will LFI make The Kingdom one of their targets?
AEW Women’s World Championship Title Eliminator: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
While there were some legitimate complaints made by the AEW Women’s World Champion, she doesn’t really help herself when she looks down on the rest of the roster. Will The Glamour continue to grow her ego here tonight? Or will Anna prove she’s the real Star of the Show?

Winner: Anna Jay, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW Women’s World Champion)
Mariah is speechless! She thought Anna was unworthy, and yet that arrogance is why Anna won! And Tony Khan calls in to say we don’t have to wait long! Two weeks from now, Collision in Philadelphia, Mariah May VS Anna Jay, with the title on the line! Will Mariah avenge herself in the rematch? Or will there truly be a new Star of the Show?
My Thoughts:
A great Battle of the Belts, especially with the events of Collision spilling over. BCC beating down Top Flight, fighting Dark Order, and then having another match was all great stuff to really get heat on them. And speaking of the Collision crossover, great bit with Garcia & Private Party rushing out there, and then Cassidy eventually going out there once BCC was on the retreat. As we saw for Collision, the other Faces are expecting Cassidy to step up but he is reluctant to, given his history with the various members of BCC. At some point, The Conglomeration members might also think Cassidy should step up, and he’ll be compelled to fight.
Speaking of Conglomeration, great match from Okada VS O’Reilly, and I do appreciate them pushing this close to the time limit. Great win for Okada, and his card is wide open now, ready to face just about anyone. LFI had a very good promo to follow up what they did on Collision, but also to show Hologram is not out of the woods with them. Hologram might even be the third man alongside FTR to fight the full LFI. Mortos and Undisputed Kingdom also had a great promo together, very funny stuff. That’s also a Six Man Tag we could see, and just about any trio could come out of this to challenge BCC next.
Really good first showing for the #MurderMachines, Archer & Cage, but that combo Blackout Powerbomb needs some work to smooth out the wrinkles. I feel like they’ll be stepping to Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara for the ROH World Tag Team Championships first, given The Bucks are Heels. And great main event from Mariah VS Anna. I am very pleased to see they had Anna win here. It works for Mariah’s character as her arrogance cost her, and now we’ll get an even better title match in a couple weeks. I don’t see Anna winning that one, though, because again, we need to see Mina Shirakawa work her way to the title so she and Mariah can fight it out.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Regarding the AEW World Championship, nothing has changed. Nothing is different. Nothing changed last Saturday night, nothing has changed since the moment I arrived in AEW. Nobody ‘owns’ that belt, it doesn’t belong to anybody. It’s not for Bryan Danielson or anybody else. It’s for the position that only man has sat in that chair. That is me. Somebody spent a lot of money on that belt and it’s really supposed to mean something. It’s just gold and leather, but when I look at it, it is the symbol of everything I hate in this sport. It’s the symbol of everything I’ve been fighting against for years. Everything that AEW was not supposed to be.
“If nobody else is going to say it, I’ll say it. Nothing comes for free in this world. But tonight, we give this Top Flight a gift. A shot at the World Trios Championships, won’t that be so great? They think they’re gonna hit a button, ride up an elevator to the top of this sport, that’s not how this works. There is no elevator. You are standing at the foot of a mountain, and the mountain looks like this.” Moxley points to Pac, Claudio and Yuta in turn. “We will win this war, cuz our cause is just, and our power is pure, and our enemies are weak in spirit. It’s a big night for you, Top Flight, but it is not your coronation. Tonight is a public execution.”
The Maniac paces, and the warning has been issued. Will Action, Darius & Dante still go through with the match?
Ricochet VS AR Fox!
The One & Only wants everyone to understand that to be The Best in the World, you don’t say it, you show it! So then will Ricochet show everyone in AEW and around the world that he IS the best? Or will he just be a guest star on the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. Ricochet trips Fox, rolls him to whip him, but Fox reverses.

That match was definitely #OuttaThisWorld, and Ricochet comes out on top! Ricochet grabs a mic to say, “Stockton, what’s good?” Ricochet wants to say that he is here in AEW because this is where the BESTÂ WRESTLE! The fans cheer that! Ricochet says he has yet to be pinned or submitted in this ring. And that’s funny, because there’s someone who keeps putting their nose in his business. The fans should know who. Konosuke Takeshita, it doesn’t matter where you go. You may be champion, but you can go to Canada, Mexico, Japan, or somewhere in the US. Wherever Takeshita goes, Ricochet will be waiting to kick his ass!
Ricochet says it doesn’t matter who has his back, from Don Callis to Kyle Fletcher, because Ricochet will knock down opponent after opponent until he gets Takeshita 1v1 in this ring to become the NEW International Champion! The fans rally behind Ricochet, and Ricochet knows they know. They know that Ricochet isn’t from this planet, he is Outta This World! The fans fire up, but when and where will The One & Only take on The Alpha?
Daniel Garcia & Private Party speak.
Red Death says Moxley and his crew wanna come in and take over AEW. Then they’ve got The Young Bucks & Jack Perry just sitting back, letting it happen. They act like it’s all okay. It’s not. And the thing is, The Elite isn’t willing to handle the responsibility it takes to truly handle those championships. But good news! He and Private Party will relieve them of their duties. Garcia says Zay to talk to ’em. Kassidy says the word isn’t complicit, it is complacent. The Bucks have become complacent cowards! Private Party will not sit back and watch BCC take over AEW. AEW changed Kassidy’s life!
Zay would rather die fighting than watch AEW go down in flames. And if Private Party has to lead by example by beating The Elite’s asses and become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, then so be it! Marq Quen says there you have it. He can’t paint a better picture. And before they beat The Elite’s asses on Dynamite, there’s business to handle tonight. Stockton, the mission continues, let’s get it! Garcia, Quen & Zay are ready, but will the Premier Athletes stand in their way?
Kris Statlander VS Harley Cameron!
The Galaxy’s Greatest is now #BornAgainKristen, and she wants to return to what made her great in the first place. But will she keep her comeback going? Or will this wacky Aussie show one of her many talents is winning?
The bell rings, Kris and Harley circle, and then they step up. Harley calls for a knuckle lock, Kris accepts, and then Harley pokes Kris in the eyes! But Kris denies Sole Food!

DEADLIFT GERMAN! Harley flounders, Kris runs in at the corner, UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side, KNEE! Kris reels Harley in, FISHERMAN DRIVER!! But then Kris lines up another shot, DISCUS LARIAT! That’s not the end, she scoops and tucks Harley, STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Kris wins but she’s not done as she grabs the mic. “One thing about me is that I am never afraid to test myself and prove that I am THE toughest and THE strongest here in AEW.” The fans cheer that! Kris says one person has been a real pain in the ass. So Kamille, Kris is calling you out! Time Kamille finally met her match! And as for Mercedes Mone, Kris will make sure you have a front row seat. The Galaxy’s Greatest wants to take on The Brickhouse, but will she make it through that obstacle to then get at The CEO’s TBS Championship?
Six Man Tag: Daniel Garcia & Private Party VS The Premier Athletes!
We just heard from Red Death and friends and they are in a fighting mood. But of course we have to hear from “Smart” Mark Sterling… “Folks, the Premier Athletes have decided to take care of these three punk kids for all the disrespect that they’ve been showing our great EVPs, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson. And of course we’re doing this for an opportunity at what I do best, and that’s climb the corporate ladder!” Now the people here in Stockton are surely just smart enough to play along. When he says, “Athletes!” you say, “Rule!” Nothing else! Hands in. Ohhh~…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling isn’t that smart is he?
The trios sort out, Tony Nese starts against Isiah Kassidy, and they circle. They feel things out, but then Ariya Daivari gets in to CLOBBER Zay! The fans boo as Nese & Daivari stomp Zay.

Jake “The Snake” Roberts speaks.
“What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. When Jake Roberts tells you something, you know you can take it to heart. Trust me when It ell you, you cannot outrun the bull. Outrunners, you can run but you cannot hide. Rules and bones were meant to be broken. That’s the reason they made them. Trust me. We’re just here to tear the hell outta everything. That’s what you gotta think about when you step into the ring with us.” When you mess with the bull, you get the horns, so will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd be gored through by La Faccion Ingobernable?
Orange Cassidy VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
Mark Briscoe is facing Chris Jericho in a Ladder War on Dynamite, and Kyle O’Reilly is facing Kazuchika Okada later tonight on Battle of the Belts. Will Freshly Squeezed earn himself a golden opportunity? Wait, Jacked Jameson tells all the “fat morons and skinny idiots” to shut up. He is the Shredded Savage, and these monsters are Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder! But hold up. What he sees in the ring is a member of The Conglomeration, a team featured on every show this company has. Meanwhile, Iron Savages must have been renamed The Melatonin Savages, because they keep getting slept on!
So tonight, the flavor of the Savage Sauce is going to be Orange Crush, because Bronson is gonna crush Orange! They are sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the Low T meat-riders to #TIDDYCITY! Cassidy just sighs, and Jameson keeps talking trash that Bronson’s gonna kill ’em! The bell does ring, Cassidy dodges Bronson, and hits an ORANGE PUNCH on Jameson!

Jamie Hayter VS Brooke Havok!
An Open Challenge was put out last night on Rampage, though it was directed mostly at Mrs. Superbad, Penelope Ford. Surprise, surprise, Penelope chose not to answer it. Instead, Brooke is looking to wreak havoc in Stockton, will she bring down a former AEW Women’s World Champion? Or will she learn that Hayter Hits Hard?
The bell rings, the fans rally up, and the two fist bump to show there’s respect. they tie up, Hayter waistlocks and SLAMS Havok. Havok fights up, fires elbows, then runs, but gets run over!

Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
It was probably over with that Haytbreaker on overdrive, but Hayter punctuates the victory. Wait, Penelope is on the tron. “Oh, hey, Jamie, are you really confused why I attacked you? I’ll tell you why. Because unlike you, most of us have to work for our opportunities. Do you even know who my partner was in my last TV match? You! And you wanna talk about backstabbing b*tches? Well you’re the backstabbing b*tch! I was out for two years, do you know what that does to someone’s mind? And not once did you even check in on me. Meanwhile, you were gone for a year and you come back to a damn parade at Wembley Stadium.”
Penelope says too many have forgotten who she is, especially Hayter. But Penelope is back, and she’ll make sure what two years of pain and anger really looks like. Penelope is here to take everting that Hayter cares about. And she won’t let anyone forget who Penelope Ford is again. Hayter says okay, fine! But will Hayter make sure Penelope regrets calling her out?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Private Party.
Lexy Nair is with the winning side tonight and says that was a phenomenal win. Say that again, say that again! What a PHENOMENAL win! Yes, that’s good! Wait, Cassidy steps in. Garcia says he’s been hoping to talk with him. Cassidy sees what it is like out there, yeah? It isn’t about being a hero, it isn’t about being tough guys. It is about holding each other accountable. They are coming to Cassidy because he’s been there before, he beat all these guys before, and it’s time to step up. Cassidy says yeah, he’s been there before. And every time he steps into the ring with one of those guys, it changes him.
Cassidy says he is no leader. He’s just not that guy. Freshly Squeezed heads out, Garcia is disappointed. But will things change when push comes to shove?
Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Atlantis Jr!
The last time these two met, it was June of this year when The Protostar defended the ROH World Television Championship against the CMLL second generation star.

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Lexy is with La Mera Mera and says she hasn’t been in AEW since August. She got hurt, then showed up in England. When will she come back? Rosa says unfortunately, she suffered a concussion, but she has been cleared. While out of action, she went home to Mexico for International Girls’ Day, then she went to London this past weekend to win a championship. Then the Mexican Embassy honored her and- Harley says this is an injustice! NO justice! It is HER time! Hey, she is having a moment! This has been unruly and unfair and- Rosa says this is unfair! Then she DECKS Harley! Harley says Rosa will be the next to feel her wrath!
Harley writhes, but when she gets back up, will she and Rosa have quite the Collision in the ring?

Sammy Guevara speaks.
“I’ve been here for the past five years. I take a lot of pride in being called an AEW Original. Because of this place, my life changed for the better. So the best way I know how to repay AEW is to make sure every single time I get in that ring, I give you a moment you’ve never seen before. For me, it’s always the same. But the way I get there needs to be different. The way I realize my destiny is by going against the best. And one of the best just had a hell of a debut on Dynamite. He’s a man I watched since I was a kid, so I went to Tony Khan personally and I asked for this match.
This Wednesday, for the first-time ever, live on Dynamite, it’ll be Sammy Guevara VS Shelton Benjamin! Get ready for another moment.” The Spanish God is on his way back, but will he be ready for the Standard of Excellence?
AEW World Trios Championships: Blackpool Combat Club VS Top Flight!
This main event is going to be a Collision for sure! Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac did their best to beat a lot of different teams into submission on Wednesday, but it only stoked the flames of rebellion.

Marina TOSSES Leila up, and Collision ends with more mayhem! Who will ever stop the reign of terror that Moxley has started?
My Thoughts:
A really good Collision, with the only real filler being The House of Black winning their squash match. Great match from Ricochet VS Fox with a great win from Ricochet, and a pretty good promo for him to call out Takeshita. If they want to sell what he said, Ricochet should go to the same other promotions Takeshita visits. Like if Takeshita goes back home to Japan and DDT Pro, have Ricochet go after him after a match. And as far as having a match, this should culminate at Full Gear to really stretch out Takeshita trying to avoid Ricochet until he just can’t. Kyle VS Atlantis was also a great match, and great win for Kyle. Kyle saying he’ll tell all on Wednesday is of course going to set up Kyle VS Ospreay, perhaps also for Full Gear.
Very good match from Kris VS Harley, which Kris of course wins. Kris calling out Kamille is great, and a little annoyed they’re making us wait for Fright Night when Kris VS Kamille could just happen next week to give us Kris VS Mone at Fright Night instead. But whatever, this is the usual Tony Khan Women’s Division pacing, because surely Kris VS Mone is what he wants for Full Gear. That does make sense, because for one, Mone as a character would want the big money moment on a PPV, not on TV. And regardless of where/when it happens, it is hard to say that even Face Statlander beats Mone for the TBS Championship.
Harley also had a good moment with Thunder Rosa. Rosa knocking Harley on her ass was great, and Rosa VS Harley will be fun stuff. It can definitely help Rosa get back up and into title conversations, and she should be going for Mone and the TBS title because chasing that history of “first woman to hold both AEW belts” is some good stuff. Meanwhile, Hayter demolished Havok, and she’ll have really good stuff with Penelope Ford, and on a personal level, I do feel for Penelope missing two YEARS of action. Penelope probably wins a match from cheating, but then loses to Hayter in the rematch so that Hayter can go back for a championship.
Great match from LFI VS Outrunners, but the cheating spots LFI pulled off were a bit clunky. LFI of course wins to spark more interaction with FTR, and LFI VS FTR will be great stuff whenever they do it. And then great stuff in this larger story of “Who runs AEW?” Garcia & Private Party had a great promo to call out The Elite, they had a really good match with The Premier Athletes and therefore a really good win over them. Cassidy squashing Bronson while also knocking down Jameson was good stuff. Then Garcia asking Cassidy to take a stand against BCC was good stuff. Cassidy has good reason for wanting to avoid BCC, but Cassidy’s role in this story is now making that random promo with Jerry Lynn work out.
And then speaking of the BCC, very good promo from Moxley to open, and great main event with Top Flight. BCC of course won, but the beatdown that bleeds over into Battle of the Belts is actually pretty good stuff. BCC are just agents of violence and chaos, and they booked the third hour, so might as well segue from one show right into the next.
My Score: 8.8/10
