Zero Hour – FTW Championship: Hook VS Angelo Parker w/ Matthew Menard!
The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil truly lives by the motto of “actions speak louder than words.” And to date, he’s been pretty “loudly” dominating his opponents. But the JAS’s “Cool Hand Ange” wants to know: What if Hook faces some real competition? The real question is, will Parker like the answer Hook gives him?
The introductions are raised, the belt is raised, and we see what happens when someone actually wants AEW to #SendHook!

Will Daddy Magic get his own turn at fighting for the FTW title? And will Hook make him regret it?
AEW All-Atlantic Championship: PAC VS Kip Sabian!
As the inaugural champion, The Bastard took this title on a tour of the UK. And every step of the way, Kip was stalking him in his box head get-up. But now that Kip is back, will he finally get gold like what he’s always wanted? Or will Pac make this return to the ring very bad for Mr. Superbad?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the inaugural reign continues!

The Bastard is 4-0 in defending the All-Atlantic Championship and the reign continues! Tony Schiavone interviews Pac on stage, congratulating him on the win. That was the first defense in the states, and Pac says he’ll explain what he’s looking for. Wait! Jefferson Starship’s Jane starts up, because here comes ORANGE CASSIDY! Pac has history with The Freshly Squeezed, and Pac tells him, “NO! Orange Cassidy, we have been here before, and you know exactly how that ended. You are not a wrestler, you are a joke. Get to the back of the line!” Pac storms off, but if Cassidy is at the back of the line, does that mean he can fight his way to the front?
As for Kip, he’s yelling at the box! Wait, he’s yelling at the box? Kip says it’s the box’s fault he lost, but what exactly is going on in Kip’s head?
Zero Hour – Tomohiro Ishii VS Eddie Kingston!
The Stone Pitbull won at NJPW Capital Collision in Washington, DC, but a lot can change in four months. Will the Mad King break through this pillar of Strong Style? Or will Ishii show it’s still too soon for Kingston to think he’s at the top?

Casino Ladder Match: Claudio Castagnoli VS Wheeler Yuta VS Penta El Zero M VS Rey Fenix VS Rush VS Andrade El Idolo VS Dante Martin VS ???
An interesting “hand” for this match. It’s every man for himself, but we have two members of the Blackpool Combat Club, both Lucha Brothers and two members of La Faccion Ingobernable! Angel Dorado and the mysterious “Joker” are the real wild cards in this, but who will earn that future AEW World Championship match?
First out is the ROH Pure Champion, Wheeler Yuta, and the Immortal Firebird, Rey Fenix! We saw in Dynamite’s Fatal 4 Way sampler that Yuta could find his way around #ANIMO, but will things be different now that it’s anything goes? The bell rings, fans are fired up and Fenix CHOPS!

The ROH World Champion CLOBBERS Rush, checks on Yuta, then hurries into the ring. Chicago is thunderous for Claudio as he puts the ladder bridge all the way into the main ladder. Claudio uses that as a quick way to get up the main ladder, but he sees Andrade go up the other side.
Claudio swings around the ladder to grab at Andrade’s legs. Andrade kicks but can’t get free, and Claudio decides to lift the ladder construct! Andrade clings to the ladder, as Claudio now uses the ladder that juts out from the side as a pivot point! Andrade is oddly parallel to the floor with this as Claudio keeps lifting! Claudio tips the ladder sideways and Andrade falls to the floor!! Fans are thunderous for the Swiss Superman as he resets things, but here comes the sixth man… DANTE MARTIN!

NOPE, he wags his finger at us all instead. Stokely and “the devil” leave with the poker chip, who just stole the title shot?
Winner: “The Devil” (earns a future AEW World Championship opportunity)
AEW World Trios Championship Tournament Finals: The Elite VS The Good, The Bad & The Hungy!
Once upon a time, “The Elite” included Hangman Adam Page. That’s even how All Elite Wrestling began. But things like time, money, power, fame, success and even failure change people. Hangman originally wanted to stay out of this tournament, rejecting the offer from his old friends, the Young Bucks. But when Hangman’s new friends, John Silver & Alex Reynolds, needed help, he couldn’t leave them hanging. But will there still be hang-ups between Hangman and The, Elite, the the Elite?
“And now… He is 2-0 since returning to AEW from a 277 day absence. Even though Hangman was the number one pick of the Young Bucks, he was the number one wrestler in the 2018 and 2021 PWI 500. He is Kevin Nash’s new favorite wrestler, and some might say he is Will Ospreay’s favorite, as well. Will Ospreay has taken his ball and gone home while he is still here. He is appearing in his first PPV since November’s Full Gear. Here tonight in Chicago, he could become the first wrestler to hold three AEW titles, and represent both Winnipeg, Manitoba and NOOORTH~, CAROLINA! He is… KENNY! OOOOOOOOOOMEEEEEEGAAAAA~!”
So needless to say, the introductions are made, and the trios titles are on display as one way or another, we crown NEW champions in AEW!
The trios sort out and Hangman starts against Nick Jackson. Fans fire up for The Elite as Nick and Hangman circle. They tie up, Hangman gets the arm, wrenches to a wristlock, but Nick wrenches back. Hangman uses the ropes to flip through and break the wristlock. Hangman wrenches and hammerlocks to headlock, but Nick powers out, only for Hangman to run him over! Fans fire up and things speed up, Hangman whips Nick but Nick hurdles. Nick handsprings, Hangman kips up and ducks the screw high kick! Nick ducks the lariat, and the fans cheer the standoff! Nick and Hangman shake hands to show there’s still respect here.
Matt calls to Nick and Nick gives him the tag. Hangman tags in Reynolds and now Matt and Reynolds tie up. Reynolds wrenches an arm, wristlocks, but Matt rolls and kips up to wrench back. Matt wristlocks, Reynolds rolls, handsprings and wrenches back. Reynolds headlocks for a takeover but Matt headscissors. Reynolds kips free and fans cheer this standoff. Reynolds offers a handshake of good sportsmanship, but Matt SPITS at him! Seems Matt doesn’t care that Hangman is their mutual friend. Fans boo Matt but Reynolds tackles him and fires off hands! The ref reprimands the closed fists and he drags Reynolds away.
Reynolds is still heated but Matt cools off. Matt apologizes for the spit, and they tie up again. Reynolds headlocks, Silver tags in as Matt powers out, and Reynolds holds ropes. Silver hits Matt in his lower back! The Elite gets mad at Silver, and even Hangman questions targeting the notoriously bad back of Matt Jackson. Silver KICKS Matt in the back!

The numbers don’t lie, and the truth of the matter is, this one has been a long time coming! Will Jade’s streak continue through this already historic night? Or will Athena go all out to finally stop the storm?

Backstage interview with CM Punk and Ace Steel.
The Best in the World is walking Larry as he arrives and Alex Marvez has a question the world wants to know: Is Punk 100% healthy going into this world title match with Jon Moxley? Punk chuckles, and asks Ace if Punk’s ever been 100% going into a fight. Ace confirms, no he has not. Sure, Moxley has an easy target in the left foot. But what Moxley doesn’t know is that he isn’t fighting Punk, he’s fighting Ace. He’s fighting Larry, the firemen, the paramedics, everyone at Wormhole Coffee providing that sweet caffeine so people like the Chicago Teacher of the Year, Nora Flannagan, can get up and do her job.
Moxley is fighting Chicago, the city that works. Mox beat Punk once, but he isn’t doing it twice! Punk may love Chicago and Chicago may love Punk, but will Mox not give an F and just break Punk’s other foot while he’s at it?

Yo, the belts need an update, we’ll leave you on the floor like the documents in Trump’s place!” Keith & Swerve ignore all this by having their backs to The Acclaimed. But then Bowens gets the mic to shout, “CHIIIIIICAAAGOOO~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass!!” Billy Gunn does indeed scissor with Bowens.
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and all jokes aside, we see who can get serious and bring the fight!

Brody drags Darby up just to DECK him! Miro gets in to drag Malakai to the apron! Buddy PENALTY KICKS Miro! Brody and Buddy coordinate with Malakai, Malakai tags Brody. The House drags Sting up to double suplex for Brody, but Sting slips off Brody’s shoulder! Sting shoves Brody into Buddy and Malakai and they all go down! Tag to Darby, he goes up top as Sting gets Brody! SCORPION DEATH DROP to the COFFIN DROP!! Cover, Buddy breaks it in time!
Fans fire up and Buddy CHOP BLOCKS Sting! Brody tags Malakai as Miro clotheslines Buddy out! Miro MACHKA KICKS Brody off the apron and into the railing! Miro fires up, goes out and around the way, but Buddy uses Sting’s baseball bat to CRACK Miro in the ribs! Miro crashes into the steel steps on the way down! Buddy hides the evidence and gets back in the ring. Darby gets Buddy with the THROWBACK STUNNER! Then he DIVES to take Buddy out at the ramp! Darby clutches his arm, the ref goes out to check him, and Malakai stalks behind Sting! Sting turns around, into the BLACK- MIST FROM STING?!?
Malakai flails and swings blindly, and Darby returns to trip Malakai up! Figure four, LAST SUPPER CRADLE! RELENTLESS ICONS WIN!
Winners: Miro, Darby Allin & Sting, by pinfall
The Dark Father was defeated by one of his own tricks! Will this be the end of the story between the House of Black and the icons? Or is this only over once The Redeemer has slain the Pagans by his own hand?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia.
Tony Schiavone points out that Garcia did not go out to the ring with the rest of the JAS to celebrate Jericho’s victory. Garcia is interrupted by Jericho himself walking in, because he also wants to know why Garcia did not go out to the ring after Jericho proved he is the greatest pro-wrestler and sports entertainer in the world? Garcia says he never doubted anything Jericho said. But Garcia also said Jericho didn’t need to cheat to win, and yet he did. Jericho let Garcia down because of that. Jericho says that’s fair. He appreciates Garcia’s convictions, but Garcia has let Jericho down, too.
So here is what happens: Garcia has a shot at the ROH Pure Championship this Wednesday on Dynamite. This is perhaps Garcia’s biggest match in his entire career. Jericho knows Garcia will win, but he has to do it without the JAS. They’re not backing him up. Garcia says this is the biggest moment of his career and he wants Jericho there for it. What does Jericho mean he’s not going to support Garcia? Jericho says Garcia made his decision, Jericho just made his. Jericho knows Garcia will beat Wheeler Yuta, but he’ll just have to do it without Jericho. Good luck. Garcia isn’t sure what to make of this, but will he even need Jericho for this?
AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley VS CM Punk!
The Heart & Soul of AEW, the Blue Eyed Battler, the Maniac, proved he can be meaner, tougher and better than The Best in the World. But CM Punk vows that because he is the Best in the World, because he’s Chicago born and raised, he doesn’t stay down, he gets back up again and again and again. Moxley won in Cleveland as the hometown hero, will he win now as the away team? Or will Punk be the hometown hero he knows he can be?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see just how “undisputed” Moxley’s reign really is!
Fans are already thunderous, and are dueling between the two men even before the bell. Punk dares Moxley to go for his bad foot but Moxley says that’s too easy. Moxley flips Punk off, then sits down! Punk paces while fans are torn between cheers and jeers. Moxley stands up, he circles with Punk as the fans duel even harder, it starts to sound like “CM MOX!” Punk rushes Mox and clinches but Moxley puts him in the corner. Punk and Moxley turn things around while throwing some scrappy shots but the ref wants them to break. Punk clinches and throws knees instead, backing Moxley down to an adjacent corner.
Punk CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS, over and over! Moxley turns it around to fire off forearms! Fans are torn again but the ref has to back Moxley down. Moxley is all fired up, but Punk ROUNDHOUSES with the bad foot! It holds up, and Punk SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Punk whips corner to corner to SHINING WIZARD again! And then short arm LARIAT! And HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Fans fire up, Punk brings Moxley up and says it’s night-night! Fireman’s carry, GO TO SLEEP!!! Cover, TWO!?! Moxley survives and Punk can’t help but smirk. Moxley flops out of the ring and staggers around while the fans are thunderous for Punk!
Punk runs and DIVES, direct hit and Moxley goes into the crowd! Punk stands Moxley up to ROCK him with a right, then another! Punk then pursues Moxley into the crowd and fires off on him! Fans love getting even closer to the action than usual, and Punk brawls with Moxley near the bleachers! Punk JABS and then SMACKS Punk off the guard rail! Moxley wobbles, Chicago is rabid, and Punk CLUBS Moxley back towards ringside! Punk stalks Moxley, fires off more hands, then pushes Moxley over the railing! Punk whips Moxley into steel steps! The ref reprimands but Punk shows off with push-ups!
Fans duel, even with this being Chicago. Punk enjoys it all the same, and he drags Moxley up to scrape laces on his face! Punk fireman’s carries, but Moxley slips off and POSTS Punk! Fans boo but Moxley gets away into the ring. Moxley checks his face, he isn’t bleeding, but Punk is! Fans duel while the ref checks on Punk. Moxley steadies himself, he sees Punk is bloody, and the shark goes right for him! Moxley throws forearms while fans duel! Moxley punches away on the wound, grinds his forearms in, and even throws elbows! Moxley leaves Punk behind, showing the blood on his hands. Moxley tastes Punk’s blood!
Punk sits up and has a crimson mask already! Fans tell Moxley, “You Suck F***!” Moxley BOOTS Punk, SMACKS him off the steps, and then BOOTS him again! Punk blinks through his own blood as Moxley gets in the ring. Fans boo Moxley shouting out Cleveland, but somehow, Punk gets back in the ring. Fans continue to duel as Moxley taunts Punk. Punk eggs Moxley on, then SLAPS him! Moxley BOOTS Punk then eggs him on. Punk SLAPS again, so Moxley BOOTS again! Moxley climbs up the corner and rains down elbows! Then HEADBUTTS! Moxley lets off as the ref counts, and Moxley has Punk’s blood on him like war paint!
Punk CHOPS Moxley, JABS him, fires off haymakers, but Moxley KICKS the leg out! Moxley CHOPS Punk in a corner, CHOPS him again, then digs his forearm into Punk. Moxley whips Punk corner to corner but Punk reverses. Punk SHINING WIZARDS again! But Moxley stops the bulldog to hit a SHIN BREAKER! And a takedown to drop an elbow onto the bad leg! Punk is enduring, suffering, but Moxley pulls on the deep toehold! Fans rally and duel, Punk’s shoulders are down, ONE! Moxley steps on the bloody forehead, then gets the leg. Moxley turns Punk but Punk kicks with the good leg! Moxley gets the good leg to DOUBLE STOMP the gut!
Moxley drags Punk around by his legs, and turns him for a HALF CRAB! Punk endures and the fans duel, boo, and chant hard as ever! Moxley shifts to an STF!! Moxley CLAWS the bloody wound, grinds the crossface, then lets off to have a CALF KILLER!! Punk endures, he CLAWS at Moxley’s eyes! The ref reprimands but Moxley lets Punk go. Punk staggers up, Moxley shoots for the leg! Mox puts Punk’s leg in the ropes, ROCKS him, then SHOTGUNS the bad leg! Moxley drags Punk back out and has the leg again, for a DRAGON SCREW! Then a FIGURE FOUR! Fans “WOO~!” as Punk endures!
Moxley taunts Punk, puts as much pressure as he can on the hold, and Punk’s shoulders are down! TWO, and Moxley flips Punk off! Punk SPITS on Mox then flips him off! Moxley lets Punk go, and gives him a SPIKE PILEDRIVER! Cover, TWO!!! Punk survives and Moxley is actually amused! Moxley drags Punk to the apron and up to his feet. Moxley reels Punk in, but Punk resists! Punk wrenches out to WRING the arm into the apron! Moxley clutches his arm while Punk is down on the floor.

Mox stands Punk up but Punk ducks the lariat to CALF KICK! Both men are down but Moxley is up first. Punk still scoops and SLAMS Moxley down! Punk hurries to a corner and drags himself up the ropes!
Fans are dueling, booing, cheering, and Punk aims for the MACHO ELBOW into the body scissors!! REAR NAKED CHOKE!! Punk flails but Mox shifts to lean on the hold!

Cover, Punk wins!!!
Winner: CM Punk, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Champion)
Bad foot, bloody face, but the heart and soul of Chicago behind him, Punk is once again the Best in the World! The belt is back on his shoulder, but then the lights go out!? Fans are losing their minds! Wait, audio plays! Is this a voicemail? “So, it’s been a few months now, and your continuous, unexcused, extended absence is hurting the company, and it’s hurting the fans. And I know you don’t care about the fans at all, but I do. So if you will show up at All Out, I am willing to swallow a very bitter pill for the sake of the fans. I’ll put you in the Casino Ladder Match, I won’t force you to sign an extension, and I will pay you (beep) dollars. But you have to show up at All Out.
“This is my final offer, and you’re not gonna get a better one.” Wait, is this Tony Khan leaving a message for him? Video plays of Punk’s promo from ROH! “The greatest thing the devil ever did was making people believe he didn’t exist!” And we know who once quoted that… “The Devil” from the Casino Ladder Match walks into frame, and takes off the mask. “And I am the Devil himself.” He puts on the scarf!! Fans are losing their minds as M J F heads to the ring!!! Punk cannot believe it, but neither can Chicago! Maxwell Jacob Friedman was the devil who convinced Stokely and his recruits to steal the AEW World Championship opportunity for him!!
MJF has his music cut so that he and Punk can stare down. Punk holds up the belt and dares MJF to do something now. MJF steps a little bit closer, fans are chanting for “M J F! M J F!” but MJF simply motions that he will have the title. MJF then flips off Chicago because as the voicemail just said, he doesn’t care about the fans! He just wants the title and the money! Will MJF make sure this story comes full circle at Full Gear?
My Thoughts:
What a great PPV for AEW, but we can all tell the big thing was the world title story. The Casino Ladder Match was great stuff, but it was really odd that it was mostly faction members and then Dante Martin. Stokely’s stable being mercenaries for MJF in disguise was a bit of an interesting twist. I suppose Stokely’s guys can still be a faction after this, or even MJF’s new Pinnacle or whatever he’ll call it. And we got a badass main event from Moxley and Punk, where of course someone got really bloody, but they also did a great job playing off the bad foot and how Chicago is on Punk’s side (mostly).
The foreshadowing with the devil mask and The Rolling Stones song of course meant MJF would challenge Punk for the world title, and they did a good job with that kayfabe voicemail to frame it all. Thinking about it, Full Gear is a long ways away, but the Casino Ladder Match prize is a future title match. It doesn’t have to be the very next match, so someone could challenge Punk in New York for Grand Slam in a couple weeks, or MJF could use the poker chip now and he faces Punk in New York for his own hometown hero move. Either way, now that MJF is back, things are probably going to rev up with Dynamite nearing its anniversary.
The Zero Hour was awesome stuff, especially how they started the mixed tag title match. But I figured all the champions were going to retain, especially Hook. I do like that Kip showed some character dimensions, but it seems to be the classic “Oh, he’s gone crazy…” I also liked that Pac just outright refuses to accept Cassidy as a challenger, but you know the trios match on Dynamite this week is going to force Pac’s hand. And Ishii VS Kingston II was just badass personified. Their chests ended up so red from all the chops, that was amazing in and of itself. And who knows where we’ll get the tiebreaker, and the winner will depend on if it’s a NJPW or AEW show.
The trios title match was awesome and had all the story beats I expected. As such, I had a feeling The Elite would win. Now, Tony Khan not renewing Bobby Fish’s contract is one thing (a petty thing, according to most sources), but sadly, Kyle O’Reilly’s injury is rather rough, so we aren’t getting Elite VS Undisputed anyway. The Elite will be very fun first champions, and I can’t wait to see who goes after them. And Hangman’s story is going to take another interesting route here, perhaps giving us another take on Sadman Page drinking all the time. Then the Dark Order can waver on the line of being enabling friends and stern friends, trying not to push Hangman away like The Elite did but also trying to make sure Hangman doesn’t go off the rails.
Jade VS Athena was great stuff, but I really wish Jade could at least win clean. How many times has it been that one or more Baddies help her out? And I suppose I’m only saying this because I cover AEW, WWE and even NJPW, but I feel like there are too many Heels who retain titles thanks to distractions and interference. WWE just gave Roman Reigns another cousin sidekick, can’t Jade do better than the Tribal Chief? Meanwhile, we got a much better booked Women’s World Championship Fatal 4, where Britt did show her true colors and more or less betray Hayter. I’ve been wanting Hayter to break off from Britt, and it sounds like so did Chicago, I hope this is that moment.
Meanwhile, hooray for Storm! She was probably gonna beat Rosa, but she definitely deserved to win this title here. She was used great in NXT but horribly by RawDown because dumb old Vince, so at least nerdy weird Tony Khan knows something about respecting her. Britt and Hayter, regardless of if they’re together or separate, can now chase Toni to Full Gear and we can get some great 1v1 matches. Starks VS Hobbs was a very good 1v1 match, but what a great win from Hobbs with the match being rather short. Hobbs can use this momentum to get at the TNT Championship for a great battle with Wardlow.
Wardlow & FTR had a great Six Man with Lethal & MCMG, but of course the Faces won here. They were fighting for the honor of Dax’s daughter, they couldn’t lose to a bunch of bullies! Plus, great for Samoa Joe to use this moment to come back, maybe Joe settles things with Lethal after this. The House of Black VS Miro, Darby & Sting was also a great Six Man, and it was a great twist for Sting to use mist on Malakai. But being it was the mist and the cradle that won, you know this is not over. We will certainly see Miro VS Malakai and we could even get Darby & Sting VS Buddy & Brody all separately for Grand Slam in a couple weeks to finish this off.
We got a lot of surprises in that Jungle Boy VS Christian Cage segment. A good surprise: Jungle Boy IS Jack Perry, “Jungle Boy” is now like “Powerhouse” for Hobbs. A bad surprise: Luchasaurus went back to being Christian’s monster, even after the twist that he was supposedly still on Jack’s side all along. Oh well. But maybe this means it’s Jack Perry VS Luchasaurus at some point, and then we get the real Jack Perry VS Christian Cage match at Full Gear. Bryan VS Jericho was also great stuff, but of course Jericho cheats to win and that puts things back on Garcia to figure out if he wants to be sports entertainer or pro-wrestler. If Bryan talking to Garcia doesn’t recruit him, maybe having this ROH Pure Championship match with Yuta will.
But honestly, I think match of the night, and outside of the main event, the match Chicago was most into, was the tag title match. Keith & Swerve ended up playing the Heels because they picked on Bowens’ bad leg, and there’s a bit of that “They’re former WWE guys, Acclaimed is homegrown, AEW fans should like Acclaimed more,” but it makes sense in this case. The Acclaimed have fought their way up and got themselves over naturally with personality and promos, and they were underdogs against the massive Keith Lee and the agile and experienced Swerve. In story and given the build, it made sense Keith & Swerve retained, but just imagine if The Acclaimed won. Chicago would’ve exploded even before the main event and closing segments.
My Score: 9.2/10

Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Lexy Nair asks the One & Only how he feels going into not just AEW’s first Stretcher Match, but his own first stretcher match against the unpredictable Mark Briscoe. Ricochet says Lexy is smarter than Renee Paquette & Tony Schiavone combined, but that’s not saying much. That said, this is his first Stretcher Match, but while some say Mark is unpredictable, Ricochet says Mark’s brainless. Speaking of brainless, there have been a lot of discourse online about the rules of a Stretcher Match, so allow Ricochet to explain.
Rule one: Ricochet incapacitates Mark long enough to place his dumbass on a stretcher. Ricochet then rolls said stretch up to the lovely ambulance the local hospital has supplied for them. Ricochet puts the stretcher in the ambulance, close the doors, and Mark immediately receives the best medical care possible for the beating Ricochet just put upon him! Um, what’s rule two? Rule two is that there ARE no rules, outside of rule one. AHA~! Ricochet heads out, but will he make this Stretcher Match #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he fail to #ManUp against the Sussex County Chicken?

Backstage interview with The Sons of Texas.
Alex Marvez is with Sammy Guevara & Dustin Rhodes, and he’s ready to rep the #DayOneGuys. Marvez notes Sammy was part of that very first Double or Nothing in 2019. Safe to say, things have changed? Yes, that is true. Sammy is a husband and dad! He has a legendary tag partner, and he even has new merchandise! But tonight, things change again as the Sons of Texas become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! The Natural’s very first AEW match was with his brother, Cody, and that remains one of, if not THE bloodiest match in AEW history. Is Dustin going to bring that same level of violence?
Dustin says yes, absolutely. He wants everyone to know that last night, he was pondering on this moment. He looked out the window and saw this storm rolling in. It didn’t look good. It looked really, really bad. Hurt Syndicate, the Sons of Texas want more gold. Understand, try and hurt Dustin! There’s nothing he hasn’t already been through! This is for ALL the gold! This is the Natural, Dustin Rhodes, a living legend! The Spanish God, Sammy Guevara! They are the UNDEFEATED ROH World Tag Team Champions! Do they have a chance? Yes, they do! On any given Sunday, anything can happen, so watch out!
You wanna hurt ’em? Bring the best you got, because it just won’t be enough! Dustin & Sammy want more, but will that ambition be their downfall? Or will they be the ones that hurt people?

2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Finals: Will Ospreay VS Hangman Page!
While Jon Moxley continues his reign of terror, that is ironically in the background of this. The Aerial Assassin and The Blackhat Cowboy have battled long and hard to prove they are worthy of this moment, and of everything that has come before. Ospreay wants this, Hangman needs this, and while they’ll both give it everything they’ve got, only one of them can go All In. Will the story of the 2025 Owen Hart Cup be about Ospreay’s ascension? Or about Hangman’s redemption?

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner)
Another instant classic, and The Cowboy has his redemption! At least, redemption in this Owen Hart Tournament after he fell short in 2024. Will he have true redemption when he takes the AEW World Championship back? Will he be the hero that takes down Maniac Jon Moxley? Will AEW go All In with the Hangman?
Hangman goes to leave, but then decides to step back into the ring. The fans cheer for “Both These Guys!” as Hangman stands over Ospreay. Ospreay looks up, then manages to stand. The two stare down once again, covered in the confetti and streamers, and Hangman offers a handshake. Ospreay takes it, and the fans cheer the show of respect. Is this a sign that their gentlemen’s agreement stands? Will Ospreay and Hangman be allies against the Death Riders and tear them down together?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Double or Nothing, even with a mishap/misunderstanding on when Buy-In/Zero Hour started. Maybe AEW themselves thought they were doing more Buy-In matches, but I’m relieved it was only two. Great tag match from Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford, and a great win for the Faces. I almost thought Megan was going to turn on Ford for messing up, but maybe that happens the next time Ford loses a match for Megan. And great 8 Man Tag, with another great win for Faces, but it was definitely a filler-for-fun kind of match.
Great move bookending the night with the Owen Hart Cup matches, and Mone VS Hayter was a great opening match for the main card. Mone winning was mostly expected, and just me personally, I’m still disappointed that we’re not getting Mone VS Athena at All In. They teased it when the tournament started because Athena eyed the TBS Championship, but now, Athena barely even does stuff on ROH now and Mone is facing Toni Storm. Toni VS Mina was awesome, too, one of Mina’s best matches in or out of AEW, and the fans loved both of them so I don’t think the fans would’ve hated Mina winning.
Great stuff with FTR VS Nigel & Garcia but I’m also a bit disappointed we didn’t get anything from Cope. Not even like a tease that he’s on his way back to put some fear in FTR. I did like all the extra stuff with Schiavone, though. Awesome Stretcher/Ambulance match with Ricochet VS Briscoe, and Briscoe of course bled. Ricochet winning made sense, though, he’s on the rise and needs that momentum so he’ll be hot on the other side of a title story. A little surprised he isn’t in the International Championship field, but I guess having a match starring CMLL luchadores was a given to help prepare for Grand Slam: Mexico. Maybe Ricochet targets a top CMLL name for that show…
That said, I can’t believe Fyter Fest is going to be a FOUR HOUR SPECIAL, right before the FOUR HOUR Summer Blockbuster on June 11th! Way to make Grand Slam: Mexico feel important when it’s just a two hour show and then they go to Washington state for Collision that week. Of the field, Claudio definitely gets in, and I would think Josh Alexander does to represent Don Callis Family. That’s two Heels, so Mascara Dorada should get in and be another Face alongside Omega. It also works on the level that Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler and Omega is also Canadian so they will settle that argument Callis is making.
Speaking of Don Callis, the Six Man Tag of Don Callis Family VS Paragon made for a great buffer between Anarchy in the Arena and the main event. It was still a very good match, but I could’ve also seen this main-eventing a Dynamite or Collision. I’m surprised we didn’t get as much Kyle VS Kyle in that, but it did happen for the finish. Fletcher as the guy to go after Cole’s TNT Championship is a good choice. Konosuke doesn’t have to go for a title while he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion for NJPW, but I love that Brody, Ishii & Tanahashi reinforced Paragon. It is a partial tease for some Forbidden Door stuff but that’s not until August, so maybe we get some Conglomeration 2.0 on the way, under the Paragon nickname.
Great tag title match, and they made it fun despite everyone knowing it was going to be Hurt Syndicate’s win. MJF and Lashley being tense with each other just to show they’re palling around like that was clever, and now Hurt Syndicate checks off another team. Okada VS Bailey could be a sleeper hit of this PPV, and maybe of all month because both guys busted out so much of their movesets, countered a good amount of the other guy’s stuff, and then Okada still finds a way to win and cleanly. Okada himself should really hop right to another title story to stay hot with these big four hour shows they’re doing.
This year’s Anarchy in the Arena was wild, the wildest one yet I would think. A shame Eddie Kingston didn’t show, given the social media posts he had teasing it, but if he wasn’t 100% by tonight, it couldn’t be helped. Briscoe sorta jumps in as a great proxy for Eddie, though, and of course someone extra was needed with Gabe Kidd helping out. I like how Hook helped out just the littlest bit but is clearly feeling snubbed with how Hobbs joined the Opps to be a trios champion. That can be the next phase of the story for Joe since he isn’t THE world champion right now. Great finish with Omega’s “exploding” table and those spiked sneakers from Swerve.
And of course, Ospreay VS Hangman tore down the house. Well, the proverbial house was barely standing after this wild night but then it was just completely demolished with this main event. Ospreay and Hangman busted out just about everything they had, similar to Okada VS Bailey, and it really could’ve gone either way. I was pleasantly surprised to see Hangman got the win, though. I remember saying it a few years ago that Hangman’s entire career story has been perfect pacing and such, and I think I’m going to stand by it. He had his rough patches, but he’s got his redemption arc going now, and he has Ospreay as an ally along with the Faces we just saw in Anarchy in the Arena. They’ll be alike an AEW Avengers/Thunderbolts taking on The Death Riders going towards All In and it’ll be great.

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes out the TNT Champion, Adam Cole! The fans in Albuquerque fire up as Cole makes his way to the ring. They join in on the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole then joins commentary, and Schiavone brings out the guests for this contract signing. First of all, alongside Stokely Hathaway, it is FTR! The fans boo as #BigStoke and his #TopGuys walk to the ring. They sarcastically pat Schiavone on the back and he asks for some decorum. Now to FTR’s opponents! First of all, Daniel Garcia! The fans cheer as Red Death makes his way out here, Daddy Magic by his side. They join everyone in the ring, and Garcia shakes Schiavone’s hand.
Schiavone notes Menard here with Garcia. Garcia’s partner for Sunday is one of the most decorated ROH wrestlers ever, THE Nigel McGuinness! The fans cheer as Nigel makes his way out, throws up deuces, and he joins the rest in the ring. Schiavone has the contract for the sanctioned tag team match. Stokely takes the contract while Cash Wheeler takes the mic. “Out of the kindness of our hearts, we asked you two out here, face to face, to give you one more chance to reconsider!” Cash hushes the fans, and he says no matter how much Garcia has hurt FTR, how much Garcia has stabbed them in the back, FTR still see Garcia as a son.
Is Garcia throwing all of that away for nobodies like Daddy Magic? And Nigel, you get paid to talk now, but it’ll pay to shut your mouth and listen! He doesn’t understand how much trouble he’s talked his way into! Cash tells the fans HE is talking! Nigel hides behind commentary and makes jokes, claim he’s retired, then physically interject himself into FTR’s business?! This Sunday, there is no desk to hide behind! There is no magic trick to save his ass! It is Nigel, a shell of his former self, against the greatest tag team of all time! Is Nigel sure he wants this? FTR finishes signing their part, and then they pass the contract back to Schiavone.
Schiavone hands the contract to Garcia, and Garcia also gets the mic. Garcia says he was having trouble hearing Cash there. The fans cheer Garcia, and Garcia says he does still care for FTR. That is not something that just goes away. But he has to look at them now and see they are selfish, narcissistic sociopaths! They say Garcia turned on them, but no, they turned on him. FTR turned their backs on everyone who has ever cared about them! They have crossed too many lines to count, and now Garcia stands up for himself. But not just for himself, but for Schiavone, for Daddy Magic, for Adam Copeland and his family, and for everybody here that has had enough of FTR!
The fans cheer and Garcia says FTR is right about one thing: They are the greatest tag team that wrestling has ever seen. But this Sunday, it won’t be a wrestling match. It’ll be a fight! Garcia is coming to fight! Nigel, Garcia knows you’re worried, you have that little voice of doubt. But the thing is, no matter what FTR says, no matter how Nigel feels, Garcia sees Nigel walking those halls. Garcia sees that look in his eyes. It was the look Nigel had when he was wrestling Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, and being one of the GREATEST ROH Champions of all time! The fans cheer and Dax wants everyone to calm down.
Garcia says no matter what FTR says or how Nigel feels, Garcia and the fans all know, you still got it! The fans cheer that, “You Still Got It!” Garcia tells Nigel that if he’s not getting the Nigel we all know, then don’t bother signing the contract. Garcia signs his part, and Nigel speaks. Whether he still has it or not, we find out at Double or Nothing. But before Nigel signs, he needs FTR’s word, whatever that’s worth these days, that after Sunday, win, lose or draw… FTR does NOT touch Schiavone or Nigel ever again! You do not even TALK to them ever again! In fact, don’t even LOOK their way ever again! Because if they do, Nigel promises them, it’ll be Top Guys Out for good!
The fans cheer, FTR seems to accept that, and Nigel holds the contract. But Dax still has to talk… The fans boo, and Dax says hey, hold on. Before they all wrap this up, he wants to tell Nigel to look him in the eyes. Dax has to know. He has to know this is what Nigel wants. This isn’t 2009, when it was all about Nigel. It is 2025 and Nigel has a beautiful family he has to think about. Dax knows the business has beat Nigel up through the years. But if Nigel wants FTR to finish the job, then sign the contract. But if Nigel signs it, it is his blood on his own hands. If Nigel signs, what happens at Double or Nothing is not on FTR.
Or, Nigel can turn around, leave the ring, walk back to commentary “where you belong,” and they can just forget about all this. They’ll put it behind them. And then maybe, all of them can even be friends again. Dax pats Nigel on the cheek, and Nigel grabs the mic. “I’m only gonna ask you this once: Don’t put your hands on me again.” Dax laughs that off and says hold on! Why so serious? This is just business! Cuz if this were personal… Dax would’ve already splattered Nigel’s nose across his face. But this is business, and Sunday, FTR will be businessmen. Dax just hopes so can Nigel. Dax touches Nigel’s shoulder, Nigel grabs that arm!
Nigel puts Dax in a corner, Cash SHOVES Garcia into Menard! Stoke bails, Schiavone isn’t far behind, and Cash storms up on Nigel. Nigel HEADBUTTS Cash, and Garcia fires hands! Dax kicks Nigel, but Nigel WRINGS Dax’s arm! Garcia has Cash’s legs, Nigel has Dax’s arm! DRAGON TAMER and SHANKLY GATES!! FTR is tapping out! Menard dares Stoke to try something! Security rushes out, FTR is set free, and they retreat with Stoke while fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Nigel gets the mic back, and the pen, and he says if they want to look in his eyes, come Sunday, he’ll look into their souls!
“At Double or Nothing, THIS… ENDS!” Nigel signs and it is official! Will nothing stop Nigel & Garcia from making FTR tap out again?
Toni Storm speaks.
“So many women have died when they are young, only for their bodies to be buried much later. But you, Mina Shirakawa, have only ever made me feel very much alive. I have appreciated you, I have admired you, and by gawd, have I envied you. But now, you’re here to stay. The safari is over. And it’s much more difficult to survive the squared jungle when this pussy is on the prowl. I’ve always had a premonition that this journey would end in tragedy. So if there’s anyone can stop this belt from shining in my reflection at All In, then there is nobody more talented than you.
“I just have one request: Sunday, give me your damndest in the desert! Make me fight for my fate in Phoenix! Let’s drag out tits through the dirt, and let’s make every cactus cream in celebration! And then, decades from now, when we’re in the wrestler retirement home, giving Brutus Beefcake a lap dance, I will turn to you and say, ‘Dammit! You lusty, busty bastard! We lived!'” The Timeless One has come to terms with what could be, but what will happen when she and the Fighting Gravure Idol go Double or Nothing?

Mascara runs up, Volador puts him on the apron, and Volador swings. Mascara blocks and GAMANGIRIS, then he springboards, but Volador dodges. Mascara handsprings back, runs in again, ducks ‘n’ dodges and tilt-o-whirl RANAS again! Volador bails out, Mascara kips up, and the fans fire up! Mascara builds speed but Los Depredadores regroup. Mascara slows up, the fans rally, and the ref reprimands. Despredadores wanna bail? The fans boo, the count begins, and Depredadores change their mind. They come back, so Mistico tags in. The fans cheer him on while Depredadores talk strategy.
Mistico and Volador step up, and Volador wants a handshake? Mistico is wary, he doesn’t accept. The two get moving, Mistico runs, handsprings, but into a DROPKICK! Then Los Depredadores attack! The fans boo as they knock Templario y Mascara down, then mug Mistico 3v1! The ref reprimands but Collision goes picture in picture.

The CMLL Trios Champions and their amigo in the CMLL Middleweight Champion take down the Mexican National Tag Team and the living legend that leads them! Will these stars shine even brighter once AEW visits Arena Mexico in June?
AEW hears from Anna Jay, Harley Cameron, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford.
The Queenslayer says, “Penelope, Megan, we are not finished with you.” The Wild Aussie says, “We’ve still got plenty of fruit left on these vines!” They will have a tag team match with them. The Megasus says when weaklings keep trying, some call it perseverance. Megan just calls it delusion. She has beat them both, but was that not enough? Anna says she doesn’t care who, one of them is getting choked out! Harley says she’s got some grapes of WRATH coming! The Superbad Girl says if they want a match so bad on Sunday, then don’t worry about her. Megan tells them to pray God shows them mercy, because Megan never will. That is, unless they #BowDown!
And so it is official! The Double or Nothing Buy-In will see Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford! Who will win big this Sunday to perhaps even head for golden opportunities for the Summer?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“Willow. Who do you think I hang out with? What do you think I do? What’d I ever do to you? Besides spear you off the stage, drop you headfirst onto thumbtacks, and choke you with a chain… You may have a point. But, here’s mine. I’m sorry. I’ve made mistakes, but I am a very dangerous person. So be careful who you push, because they might just push back.” The Galaxy’s Greatest gave a friendly warning, but it was still a warning. Will this #BornAgainKristen find herself ruining her testament over an old grudge?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey & Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
Part two of the double main event is here, and it has even more high-flying, hard hitting lucha libre! Bailey is still getting his shot at Kazuchika Okada and the Continental Championship, but will he and the Commander of the Skies survive this Collision? Or will Rush y Dralistico make sure Bailey is in no shape to face the Rainmaker?
Rush makes his entrance, but where is Dralistico? Dralistico attacks from behind! The fans boo as Dralistico knocks Komander and Bailey down! The bell rings and Dralistico stomps away on Bailey. Dralistico then goes out to ROCK Komander, letting Rush go after Bailey with a whip into railing! Bailey falls but Rush stands him up to THROW into more railing! Dralistico does the same to Komander, then SMACKS him off the desk! Dralistico CHOPS Komander, Rush HEADBUTTS away on Bailey, and Rush says HE is number one! Dralistico BOOTS Komander down! Rush SMACKS Bailey off the desk, then grabs that can of iDrinq!
Rush SMASHES the can in Bailey’s face! The ref reprimands, Rush y Dralistico revel in the cheers and jeers, and they mug Bailey. They put Bailey in the ring, then THROW Komander into railing. The fans rally for Speedball, but Dralistico stomps him down, Dralistico drags Bailey up by his hair, puts him against the ropes, and Rush holds Bailey up so Dralistico can CHOP! Bailey might as well have been shot! Rush CHOPS, whips, but Bailey grabs ropes! Bailey BOOTS Rush, BOOTS Dralistico, then Komander tags in! DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! LFI bails out, the fans fire up, and Komander coordinates with Bailey.
Komander and Bailey both build speed, and they both DIVE onto LFI! Then they trade, and they DIVE the other way! The fans fire up as the two slide back in, go again, and DIVE! But LFI say “Nope!” and let both men crash ‘n’ burn! The fans fire up while Collision goes picture in picture.
Bailey writhes, Rush stalks him, and Dralistico stands on the barriers to soak up cheers and jeers. Rush throws body shots on Bailey, HEABUTTS him, then leaves him behind to taunt fans. Meanwhile, Dralistico POSTS Komander! Dralistico puts Komander in a GROUND COBRA TWIST, Rush RAMS Bailey into the steel steps, and then Dralistico puts Komander in the ring. Dralistico hoists Komander up top, then HAMMERS away on him! Dralistico pulls at the mask, the ref reprimands, and Komander fights back. Dralistico traps Komander’s arm to CLAW at the mask! Komander still fights, so Dralistico puts him in the Tree of Woe, for a KICK!
Komander flops to the mat and Dralistico argues with the ref. Dralistico drags Komander from the corner to then tie up the legs and pull on an arm! Komander endures, Dralistico STOMPS the knees, and Dralistico soaks up heat. Dralistico bumps Komander off buckles, sits him down, then runs side to side for a SUPERKICK! Dralistico lounges on the ropes and says tranquilo! Dralistico tags Rush, LFI mugs Komander, and Rush even SPITS at Bailey! The ref keeps Bailey back while Collision returns to single picture. LFI mug Komander more, and Rush CHOPS! Komander sputters, Rush whips him corner to corner, then whips Dralistico.
Komander goes up and over Dralistico, rolls, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he RANAS Dralistico hard! Rush runs up, Komander dodges and springboards to DROPKICK! The fans fire up, hot tag to Dralistico, and he waits on Komander. Komander crawls, hot tag to Bailey! Bailey BOOTS Dralistico, BOOTS Rush, then he fires LIGHTNING KICKS on Dralistico! The fans fire up and Bailey ENZIGIRIS! Dralistico runs up, Bailey mule kicks, AX KICKS, and BUZZSAWS! Then STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!

NO, Dralistico moves, Bailey lands out, and Dralistico DREAMCAST KICKS! Both men crawl, hot tag to Rush! Rush storms up on Bailey, eggs him on, and drags him up. Bailey ROCKS Rush, but Rush brushes that off. Rush ROCKS Bailey and eggs Bailey on. Bailey and Rush fire forearm after forearm, and then they CHOP back and forth! The fans fire up, Rush eggs Bailey on again, then he blocks Bailey’s kick! Rush trips Bailey, Bailey avoids the stomps! Bailey runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Rush CHOPS! And CHOPS! Bailey runs, Rush dodges, ROLLING ELBOW! Bailey falls into a corner and the fans fire up!
Rush stomps away on Bailey, then runs corner to corner. Rush runs back in, feints the horns to BOOT Bailey! Rush says, “Tranquilo!” The fans are torn but Rush tags Dralistico. Rush sets Bailey up, Bailey shoves Rush away and Komander GAMANGIRIS! Rush flops out, Dralistico springboards in, but Bailey dodges! Bailey SUPERKICKS! Dralistico tumbles out, Komander is on the far corner! TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULT from Bailey, tightrope walk and ESCALARA from Komander! The fans are thunderous as Komander takes down LFI! Komander and Bayiley high-five, then they get Dralistico in the ring.
Komander puts Rush in the drop zone, and now both Komander and Bailey climb! They aim at LFI, DOUBLE SHOOTING STARS!! Cover, TWO?!? LFI survives and the fans can’t believe it! Abrahantes coaches his guys, “This is Awesome!” Bailey kicks Rush out, tags Komander in, and they focus on Dralistico! Komander springboards to FLYING DESTROYER!! Cover, RUSH BREAKS IT! Rush stands Komander up just to HEABUTT him back down! Bailey runs up, Rush sidesteps and SNAP GERMANS! Bailey flounders into a SLIDING KNEE! Rush fires up, the fans are torn, but he coordinates with Dralistico.
The fans duel as Rush goes out to get Bailey. Dralistico brings Komander up in a corner, and he underhooks, SUPER FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!?! Komander survives and the fans fire up! Rush runs up on Bailey but is sent into steel steps! Dralistico is shocked, but Komander gives him a POISON-RANA! Hot tag to Bailey! Bailey hurries to spin and TIME ADVENTURE! Komander adds the CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Bailey’s team wins!
Winners: “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Komander, by pinfall
A high-speed combo wins it for- WAIT! The coin drops, and here comes Okada! The Continental Champion walks down the ramp, eyes on Bailey in the ring. Champion and challenger are face to face, and Bailey gives a respectful bow before offering a handshake. Okada reaches out, only to flip Bailey off! The fans are torn, but Bailey KICKS that finger and HEEL KICKS Okada! Okada tumbles out, Bailey builds speed, and Bailey FLIES! Down goes Okada and Bailey stands up with the belt! Will Speedball be too fast to be touched by the rain? Or will no one stop Okada’s reign of terror?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision considering it is the go-home to Double or Nothing. But that said, it felt like a lot of last-minute promos were shoved onto this. Dustin & Sammy didn’t say anything more than what was said last night on Dynamite, and at least the one from Harley, Anna, Megan & Penelope established their match for The Buy-In. Toni’s was very good, as they always are, but it doesn’t add much from last night as the math already said Toni was winning. Very good promo for the tag team match contract signing, though, with a great brawl as part of it. Nigel & Garcia might win, but I mostly expect Adam Copeland to make his return as part of it.
Very good match from Mercedes VS Isis but it makes sense it wasn’t very long given we knew Mone would win. It was mostly a vehicle for one last confrontation of Hayter and Mone before the PPV. It still feels very likely that Mone wins so that she can face Toni and maybe they go title VS title at All In. Great stuff with the Don Callis Family throughout the night, all members getting wins tonight to stay strong. Great match of Paragon VS GYV, great win for Paragon, and instead of just cutting to the chase of Cole VS someone for the TNT Championship, they’re given us a Six Man Tag. That’s fine, because I expect whoever wins for Don Callis Family is the guy that faces Cole for the TNT Championship either at Fyter Fest or the first-ever “Summer Blockbuster.”
Maybe Excalibur misspoke but I know he called the lucha libre trios match a “main event.” Either way, great CMLL Six Man Tag, and naturally the Faces won that. It was just for a lot of fun, I would’ve thought maybe they could put this on the Buy-In, but it at least makes for good marketing on the road to Grand Slam: Mexico. And great tag match main event from Bailey & Komander VS LFI. Not sure what happened to them doing Titans of the Air, Komander & Hologram as a duo, but that’s typical AEW. Bailey’s team of course won so that he has momentum, and then Okada shows up so that Bailey can also stand tall over him. All that math adds up to Okada retaining at Double or Nothing, but it’ll be a great match for Bailey, too.
My Score: 8.8/10
