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!

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!

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!

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 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!

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

The truest, most basic battle has always been between right and wrong.
Two sides of a coin decide an entire future. But which side dictates righteousness? Is it a soldier of fortune? Or a soldier of ambition? A toxic entity? Or justified aggressor? Is it the revenge seekers? Or the perpetrators of the original sin? A devil or a god? No matter the side you stand, the only way to prove right or wrong is through the other side. Tonight, AEW builds its Dynasty!

Willow Nightingale speaks.
“Kamille, if you wanted a title shot, if you wanted a fight, all you had to do was ask. Because as so many other girls have already learned, if you wanna make a comeback at my expense, it’s not as easy as just blindsiding me. I will kill your comeback before it even gets out of the gate. I may not be 100%, but I will be clear this Wednesday. So if you wanna hop on the welcome wagon, Miss American Gladiator, I’ll see you at Spring Break Thru!” The Babe with the Power is going to get her payback, but will she keep her title? Or will there be a new Face of TBS?

Moxley bails out, Ospreay pursues, and Ospreay HAMMERS away on Moxley at the steel steps!
Ospreay climbs up, underhooks Moxley again, but Moxley fights free! Moxley CLAWS Ospreay’s face! Then he reels Ospreay in, PILEDRIVER on the steel!! Moxley shoves Ospreay over while the fans lose their minds! They tell Moxley he’s sick but the ref is more worried about Ospreay. Doc Sampson hurries over, too, and the ref starts a ring count. Ospreay clutches the neck and shoulder but Moxley says Ospreay doesn’t have what it takes! Ospreay is still down at 5 of 10, but he manages to sit up at 7! The fans rally as Ospreay flounders, but he’s still down! Wait, Ospreay springs in at 9.99!! But Moxley CURB STOMPS him down!!
Moxley underhooks, PARADIGM SHIFT!! And then PARADIGM SHIFT again!! Ospreay flounders but Moxley pushes him to the cover, TWO?!?! Ospreay is defiant, and Moxley is pleasantly surprised! But then he hits the DEATH RIDER!! Cover, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (still AEW Continental Champion)
Ospreay fought valiantly, but perhaps he let Moxley hang around too long. Will anyone ever take this title from Moxley with the iron grip he has on it?
Backstage interview with Darby Allin.
Renee Paquette is with the NEW #1 Contender to the AEW World Championship, and says his match with Andrade was insane! Darby was victorious, but now that he has his title shot, what’s he going to do? Darby asks if Renee knows where they’re gonna be on Wednesday. Dynamite will be in Everett, Washington. And where he started his career, the Buddy Wayne Academy, that was in Everett, Washington. If there was ever a time, it is this Wednesday. Darby lets Kenny and Max know that he’s watching tonight. And this Wednesday Night Dynamite, it’s showtime. The Relentless One is not a patient man, but will this Spring Break Thru be his breakthrough?

But will the Savage King, The Mad Man & 100 Proof survive the gamble? Or will they be the shortest-reigning trios champions in AEW history?
“The Conglomeration is filmed in front of a live wrestling audience.” Wait, what?

AEW World Championship: MJF VS Kenny Omega!
The Scumbag returned in time for World’s End to use his Casino Gauntlet Cash-In to take this title in the Fatal 4 Way. From there, his second reign has been much like the first, with shortcuts and underhanded tactics. He even went so far as to seal off Hangman Adam Page from this title forever! But now, the God of Professional Wrestling has his chance to set things right! Will The Devil pay for his sins? Or will Kenny Omega have to admit that Maxwell Jacob Friedman is better than him, and he knows it?
MJF leans heavily into his Devil personal with the throne rising up from underground and the heavy metal looking outfit. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who truly reigns on high!
For once, the ref thinks ahead, and he tells MJF to give up the Dynamite Diamond Ring! MJF reluctantly obliges, then the bell rings. The fans lose their minds already as they witness this dream rematch. MJF and Kenny step up, and MJF says it doesn’t matter how many fans cheer him on, it won’t win the match. MJF and Kenny circle, feel things out, and tie up. They’re in a deadlock, then break. The fans rally as the two circle. The fans taunt MJF with, “You Got Hair Plugs!” MJF tells the fans to shut up, then he and Kenny circle again. They tie up, Kenny rolls MJF up, TWO! MJF swings, misses, and Kenny Electric Chair Lifts!
MJF victory rolls through, TWO! MJF runs up, Kenny goes up and over, then he ducks ‘n’ dodges! Kenny goes up, steadies himself, and CROSSBODIES! MJF hurries to ropes, but he dodges Kenny! MJF has Kenny in place, but Kenny THROWS MJF away before the Heatseeker! Then Kenny aims, BANG, and- NO, MJF bails out before the V-Trigger! The fans boo, but MJF goes over the railing and walks it off. The fans boo, MJF tells them to shut up, then MJF takes his time going back to ringside. MJF says we’re on HIS time, then he steps into the ring. Kenny and MJF reset, and Kenny offers that handshake again.
MJF laughs, and he pie faces Kenny instead! Kenny shoves MJF, MJF CLAWS Kenny’s face! The fans boo but MJF soaks up heat. MJF runs, but into a RANA! MJF tumbles out, Kenny gets the Terminator Drums going, and he builds speed, but MJF just steps aside. MJF says he’s too smart for that, but then Kenny WERCKS MJF with a dropkick! And then PLANCHAS! Down goes MJF and the fans fire up! MJF scrambles away while Kenny high-fives fans. Kenny lines up a shot, runs in at MJF, but MJF drop toeholds Kenny onto a chair! MJF grins as he outsmarts Kenny on that one. MJF ROCKS Kenny, Kenny falls into the timekeeper’s area, and MJF soaks up the heat.
MJF stands Kenny up, but Kenny SLAPS MJF! Kenny hits at QUEBRADA using the barriers! The fans fire up again while Kenny stands back up. Then Kenny clears off the timekeeper’s table, and the fans cheer as he brings it around! The ref reprimands but Kenny apologizes, he has to do this. Kenny drops the table onto MJF, then DIVING DOUBLE STOMPS the table into MJF! The fans fire up as Kenny brings back a classic maneuver! Kenny then takes the table, sets it up nearby, but the ref says win this in the ring! Kenny rolls into the ring, but then rolls out, refreshing the count. The fans cheer as Kenny brings the table around.
Kenny makes sure the table is in just the right spot, then he brings MJF around. Kenny puts MJF on the table, HAMMERS away on him, then goes back to the ring. The fans cheer as Kenny climbs up the corner, but MJF rolls into the ring! The fans boo but Kenny just changes his trajectory, only for MJF to hit the ropes! Kenny is tripped up and falls to the mat! MJF stomps a mudhole in, then stands on the corner to soak up the heat. MJF drags Kenny up, scoops him, and SLAMS him! MJF clamps on a chinlock, grinds Kenny down, but the fans rally up as Kenny endures. Kenny fights to his feet, fires body shots, but MJF THROWS Kenny by his hair!
The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but MJF grins as he backs off. Kenny sits up slowly, goes to the corner, but MJF storms up on him. Kenny fires a BODY SHOT! And a HAYMAKER! Kenny fires more hands, then he reels MJF in. The fans fire up, but MJF fights the lift! Kenny CLUBS away on MJF’s back, then tries again. MJF still fights the lift, so Kenny stands MJF up to fire forearms and a CHOP! Kenny tries again, lifts, but MJF fights it to an Alabama Lift, and ALABAMA SLAM! Cover, TWO!! Kenny survives and MJF snarls. MJF drags Kenny up, puts him in a corner, and climbs up to rain down fists!
The fans boo instead of counting, but MJF does pelvic thrusts and throws middle fingers. Kenny YANKS MJF down, then he climbs up! The fans cheer and count along as Kenny rains down fists! Kenny goes to nine, winds up, but MJF atomic drops before ten! MJF whips, Kenny reverses, MJF goes up and over, but the knee jams! Kenny runs up but that was a trick! MJF steps over to PILEDRIVER! Cover, TWO! Kenny survives and MJF grows frustrated, but then MJF copies Kenny! BANG and- NO, Kenny dodges the V-Trigger to SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Kenny reaches out and rises up.
MJF stands first, he runs up, but Kenny dodges to POLISH HAMMER! POLISH HAMMER! The fans fire up again s Kenny spins, but MJF kicks low! MJF whips, but Kenny redirects and dropkicks legs out! Kenny keeps moving, KOTARO KRUSHER! MJF staggers around, Kenny fireman’s carries, and “YOU! CAN’T! ESCAPE!” ROLLING SENTON, then Kenny goes up, up, and MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! MJF bails out but Kenny smiles. The Terminator Drums start again, the fans join in, and Kenny builds speed! Kenny FLIES and down goes MJF at the ramp! The fans fire up again as Kenny stands tall!
Kenny drags MJF up, brings him around, and puts him in the ring. MJF crawls but Kenny slides in. Kenny Electric Chair Lifts, but MJF CLAWS Kenny’s eyes! MJF makes it to the corner, he aims, and PANAMA- NO, Kenny ducks, then he trips MJF up to CATAPULT him into the corner! MJF lands safe?! But then Kenny CLUBS MJF on the back! Kenny Electric Chair Lifts, then climbs up the corner! Kenny reaches up, but MJF slips free! MJF CLAWS Kenny’s back, then BITES him on the forehead!

The fans rally for Kenny but MJF has him in place, Kenny clicks his heels to fight free of the gut wrench! Kenny slips down, CLUBS MJF, then ROCKS him!

Winner: MJF, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Whether you agree with the talk of Devil and God of AEW, it is very clear that MJF is a sinner for all the crimes he committed just to hold onto his gold! Will Kenny Omega ever have this world title again? As for MJF, he sits upon his throne, adorned with his twisted crown and “Triple B.” But will we see Darby Allin become a demon slayer when he challenges MJF in Seattle?
My Thoughts:
Another awesome PPV for AEW, though full to the brim as always. I wonder if AEW needs to let pressure off and not always have every single title defended at a PPV. Anyway, great Zero Hour stuff, and I certainly didn’t think they’d bring Kamille back quite like this, but going after Willow and the TBS title is great stuff for Kamille. They’ll have a great match, but something about this makes me think Kamille almost has to win or what was the point? Great match for Windsor VS Marina and a great win for Windsor. Perry VS Davis was very good, and rather outta nowhere, a bit to my point of AEW insisting every title be defended. Maya & Hyan VS Divine Dominion was really good, too, but of course status quo is kept on Zero Hour.
Awesome tag match from Okada & Konosuke VS Bucks, but of course the team of Okada & Konosuke fell apart. This builds towards not just Okada VS Konosuke but it could also build the Don Callis Family Civil War with the family split down the middle. I’m thinking Andrade could join Team Konosuke as Faces after his epic with Darby. Darby was of course winning this, given MJF was winning the main event. Andrade showing respect to Darby will not make Callis happy, but Andrade was already upset about the MJF business so it’d make sense. But I’m already worried it’s not gonna go Darby’s way if they’re doing it in the Seattle area and not on PPV…
Very good match from Jericho VS Ricochet, but Ricochet winning was quite the surprise. Though, if this ends up just like all other Jericho feuds, won’t he come back for more, drag this out, and then we get another match where Ricochet still wins? FTR VS Cope & Christian was great, and while FTR winning out wasn’t really surprising, FTR winning so suddenly kinda was. The Bucks winning their match, are we getting FTR VS Bucks again at Double or Nothing? Or are we getting the Triple Threat they kinda teased after Revolution? A Triple Threat would definitely be a way to protect FTR and C&C while Bucks get their historic fourth reign.
The Casino Gauntlet was once again awesome and unpredictable, and what an awesome win for Kevin Knight. Though, with it being at Bailey’s expense since he was in that Dragontamer, will that compel JetSpeed feuding on the way to Double or Nothing? At the very least, Ciampa going after Knight will give us an awesome match. Thekla VS Jamie was really good, but another sneaky win for Thekla might prolong this story to Double or Nothing. Windsor getting past Marina, I wonder if Windsor gets her shot at Thekla while Jamie watches her back.
Moxley VS Ospreay was awesome, but the go-home math definitely indicated Moxley was winning this. Ospreay hitting the Hidden Blades to start but he didn’t bother covering, that was their way of showing us Ospreay wasn’t winning. Ospreay was too focused on hurting Moxley, not winning a title, but I’m sure this story will continue. Conglomeration VS Dogs was really good, but it seems Gabe’s arm got legit hurt. Hopefully he’s alright, because this not only screws with AEW plans but with NJPW plans. But at the same time, I sensed The Dogs being transitional champions to The Conglomeration now that Kyle O’Reilly is back, great stuff for them.
And of course, go-home math came through on MJF VS Kenny. Kenny stood tall but he chose to NOT keep the Dynamite Diamond Ring for his own, that stupid thing came through for MJF again, and MJF retains. An awesome match all the same, and MJF just keeps building the heat, but again, hard to say if Darby actually wins out on Wednesday.
My Score: 9.2/10

Winners: The Dogs, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions)
Bullet Club may be gone, but these Dogs are still here, and they now reign in AEW! But then Roderick Strong is on the tron to shout, “DOGS!! Congratulations on your victory. But I know you guys weren’t done with us, especially after what you did to us Wednesday. Now, I know there’s three of you and there is only two of us. But there just might be a third.” Orange Cassidy finishes a phone call and says yeah, there might. Okay, then what’d he say? Oh, Cassidy forgot to ask. He can just call back. Roddy says do it now! Cassidy redials and Roddy says they’ll see The Dogs on Sunday! See you there! The Dogs don’t sweat it, but who will be the third man, brother?
AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
The United Empire regrouped backstage, victorious from the Chaos in Canada, but Will Ospreay says, “Lemme get this straight, Jon Boy. Last week, you said there was six of you and only one of me. That’s funny, because I got a lot of friends over in Japan. Not even friends, brothers, guys that looked after my back since day one. Francesco Akira, one of the greatest Junior Heavyweight Tag wrestlers of all time. Henare, one of the toughest mother effers I’ve ever met in my entire life. This guy knocked out Gabe Kidd with one hand, bang, across his head, and a gash in his head that was about four centimeters.
“And this is my little brother, Callum Newman. You may recognize that (title on his shoulder). He is the youngest-ever IWGP Heavyweight Champion. Together, we’re the United Empire.” Callum says after Ryogoku, after winning the most prestigious title in all of pro-wrestling, Big Brother Billy took ’em all out to the bar, said he had a problem at work. Well, there’s one thing about the Empire: The ARE united. They’ve had their differences, they’ve had things going on, but it doesn’t matter where or when, The Empire stands together. They are a brotherhood! Damn right. And Jon, Sunday, Ospreay gets you all to himself.
No Death Riders, no United Empire, just them and the Continental Championship. And Moxley said he wont’ stand in the way of action and consequences. Good. Neither will Ospreay. The Aerial Assassin’s edge is sharpened, but will he be able to cut down The Maniac?
Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida VS Ava Lawless & Gigi Rey!
Both former AEW Women’s World Champions have been dealing with some frustrations over not winning titles. But these two go away back to the early days of AEW, so surely they can make a formidable tag team. Will this be the beginning of the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo? Or are they resting on their laurels even now?
The teams sort out and Shida starts against Ava. The fans cheer Ava on as a local favorite, but Shida fires off forearms! Shida ROCKS Ava and puts her in the corner.

Shida is stunned, because for one, she was about to finish Ava on her own a moment ago. But a win is a win, so maybe there’s something to #Krishida after all. Unless…?
Maya World & Hyan speak.
“In the world of professional wrestling, we consider ourselves opportunists.” This is Hyan, the Renaissance Woman, so you know she can do it all. And this is #ThatGirl, Maya World! When the lights shine bright, all eyes are on her! They’re also a couple Texas girls, so you know they love a good fight! The AEW Women’s Tag Division is stacked, and Divine Dominion are at the top. They may be bigger and stronger, but that never stops Maya & Hyan. At Dynasty, in the Zero Hour, Maya & Hyan are coming for the titles! Megan, Lena, you can clock that!
AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
The Death Riders regrouped after that loss, but Moxley laughed it off and said that was so much fun. Chaos, tables breaking, bodies flying everywhere. They live for this! The Empire stepped into the Death Riders’ world and survived, congrats, good for them. But do they wanna do it again? Or do they want to never have to do that again? This is where Death Riders live! This is what they do, this is what they are! They thrive in the chaos, the live in the eye of the storm! No organization, not in AEW or NJPW or CMLL, nowhere else in this world, can they run with this group. No one can keep up with this group, not for long.
Others get tired, hurt, distracted, fall off, break. Will Ospreay is hellbent on breaking Moxley’s neck. So headstrong, so determined, so talented. Ospreay has done everything right in his career. Maybe. With this play that he’s making, 20 minutes alone with Moxley to get his hands on Moxley, that is a very long time to not make a mistake. Not with a neck like that! Ospreay can’t afford it. So screw Ospreay, screw the United Empire, screw NJPW, it’s them VS The World! Moxley leaves, Daniel Garcia reiterates, “Against the world.” Will nothing stop MOxley from keeping that Contiental Championship?
Casino Gauntlet Stakes: Rush VS Anthony Bowens!
Tommaso Ciampa won the #1 spot in the TNT Championship Casino Gauntlet, but now it is time to determine who joins him as #2! Will El Toro Blanco stampede his way into Vancouver? Or will the Pride of Professional Wrestling prove he can be a killer?

Backstage interview with The Brawling Birds.
Lexy Nair is with Alex Windsor & Jamie Hayter and says they both have a big Sunday at Dynasty in separate singles matches as Windsor takes on Marina Shafir and Jamie challenges Thekla for the AEW Women’s World Championship. Tonight, they take them both on together in a tag match. Alex tells Marina that while she serves as Moxley’s little lap dog, she’ll send a message to Moxley: “Jon, Will is gonna cut the head off the snake, but first, I’m gonna chop off the ass! But don’t worry when Will breaks your neck, because I promise I will put Marina right next to you.”
Jamie tells Thekla that she must admit, Thekla’s doing pretty well for herself. Jamie honestly didn’t think Thekla would get this far! The last time they stood across the ring from each other, Jamie didn’t see some Toxic Spider or even some crazy girl, she saw a tosser who was too afraid to get hit! Now, she’ll tell you for free, Jamie will hit Thekla harder than she’s ever been hit before. So tell her, what does that title mean to you? Because to Jamie, it is her life! Alex tells Thekla and Marina to stop drinking, because they’re about to beat the piss outta you! The Birds don’t give a flying F, but will they be able to solve this toxic problem even before Dynasty?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron and Min a Shirakawa.
Lexy Nair sits with them in the lounge area, and she brings up that Harley had asked Kris to team up, only to be turned down. But now she and Mina are both here, how are they both feeling? Harley says sometimes, all you have left is hope. Mina agrees. Harley says she and Mina are rather similar, in more ways than one. But the main thing is, Kris rejected Harley’s idea of tagging and training together, Mina is without Toni Storm, and now they’re both here, alone together. Yep. There is only one thing left to do. Lexy asks what that is, and Mina grabs a couple of glasses, but Harley says just hand her the bottle. Bottoms up, tops down.
Lexy watches as Mina sips her bubbly, and Harley chugs the bottle! Well, drinking away the pain only lasts so long. Will Mina and Harley help pick each other up so they can both move forward?

On Wednesday, the deal was struck that if The Rainmaker & Alpha work together at Dynasty against The Young Bucks, Double or Nothing would see Rainmaker VS Alpha for this title.

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Willow Nightingale returned backstage, victorious as AEW TBS Champion, and she says, “Oh my gawd! Okay, Queen Aminata, tonight, Dynamite, she brought it! On Collision this past week, Shida, she brought it! These girls are coming back, they’re making me work, but it’s all good, because I am still the Face of TBS! Your TBS Champion, Willow Nightingale! And I’m excited, I’m happy, arms wide open, welcoming these girls back. Tony Schiavone was out there calling me the Comeback Killer.
“So if you’re home right now, if you’re recovering from an injury, if you’re needing to rediscover yourself a little bit, take some time away… I’m here waiting. TBS Championship will on be the line, anywhere, any place. Come and try and take it.” The Babe with the Power also has the confidence, but will this unique open challenge come back to bite her?
Divine Dominion speaks.
Lena Kross says, “Holding these titles means we are the best. That we set the standard for the Women’s Tag Team Division. And somehow, Hyan & Maya have caught our attention as they desperately try to rise from the bottom. Admirable. But what makes you think you belong in the same realm as us?” Megan Bayne says, “Now, now. We are gracious champions. So here’s your gift. This Sunday, Dynasty: Zero Hour, we grant you the opportunity to step into our domain, and fight not just for the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships, but for your honor. But understand this: You are beneath us. So now the only question is, can you survive long enough to keep us entertained?”
The Megasus & Aussie Amazon have spoken, will they dominate and destroy Hyan & Maya like all the rest? Or will The Renaissance Woman & #ThatGirl move heaven and earth to reach the mountaintop?

The Toxic Spider and The Problem each have their battles with Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor at Dynasty, and we all know no one out of these four gives any F’s about how hard they have to fight to win. Will the AEW Women’s World Champion and the Death Riders’ femme fatale have all the momentum on their side? Or will this truly be an example of two birds, one stone?
The teams sort out, but then Thekla & Marina just attack The Birds! The ref reprimands but the fans cheer as they are indeed brawling! Jamie CLUBS away on Thekla, Windsor and Marina scrap, but then Thekla & Marina kick low. They TOSS The Birds out, then storm out after them.

This isn’t even a match yet because there was no bell! Marina whips Windsor hard into railing, but then Jamie storms over!
Jamie CLUBS Marina, stomps her into the corner, and now Windsor brawls with Thekla! Windsor RAMS Thekla, BOOTS Marina, but Thekla KICKS Jamie! Marina KNEES Windsor, Thekla sends Jamie into railing, and Thekla soaks up the cheers and jeers. Thekla says the barrier is sturdy, and Marina tells the ref to take it easy. Thekla CHOKES Jamie with the padding, and Marina full nelsons Windsor to make her watch. Thekla SMACKS Jamie off the desk! Thekla asks commentary how they’re doing tonight, and she pretends to tap a wristwatch, saying it is only a matter of time. Marina CLUBS Windsor, then UPPERCUTS her down!
The ref is getting fed up with this, but Marina finally goes to the ring. But Windsor reels her back out for a WHEELBARROW SLAM off the apron! Jamie suplexes Thekla hard on the floor! Windsor puts Marina in, the bell finally rings, and this is finally on record! Jamie sends Thekla into railing, then hurries back to her corner.

HEADBUTT from Windsor to Marina, and then TWO BIRDS ONE STONE!! Cover, Birds win!!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
It wasn’t easy, but The Birds managed to solve The Problem! Wait, is Marina smiling? Is she just that excited to have another fight like this with Iron Will Windsor? Will Jamie make sure Thekla gets a real taste of Hayterade? Or will Thekla make sure AEW stays toxic?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home episode of Collision, and of course they had three different post-Dynamite promo segments to add some final touches on things. Good promos from United Empire and Death Riders, and Garcia having to have the last word makes me wonder. Will Garcia try and help Moxley despite Continental Rules? Will Garcia cost Moxley the title because of that? They have yet to even tease such a thing in the history of this title and the Continental Rules, this could be the time to do it. But at the same time, Moxley VS Ospreay having a real finish, even a 20 minute time limit finish, would be more favorable for the fans.
A title change here tonight is really surprising. At the same time, Mistico was a TRIPLE champion between AEW and CMLL, so something had to give. But The Dogs turning right around to face Cassidy, Roddy, and I can only assume a returning Kyle O’Reilly, are The Dogs going to be transitional champions to The Conglomeration? That’d be pretty wild, but would also compel a renewed rivalry between Dogs and Conglomeration going towards Double or Nothing and beyond. For that matter, maybe Hurt Syndicate finding a new member is something they build towards DON, as they simply did a squash match win to get them going again.
Kris & Shida of course won their match, but this seems to be a vehicle for a feud, or at least Shida’s Heel turn. Mina and Harley had a very fun promo, especially with Harley chugging that drink. I don’t know if Mina & Harley become a duo, or they get in on the story with Kris and Shida to build up the midcard, but Mina and Harley both know how to be hilarious so this will be a lot of fun. Good promos from Maya & Hyan as well as Divine Dominion, but clearly Maya & Hyan are being fed to Megan & Lena to build their reign. Though, it is wild to think Maya & Hyan are getting this moment at all from the great work they’re doing in ROH.
Rush VS Bowens was great stuff, especially for Bowens bringing out his aggression, but Rush winning out was a given. I really do mean it when I say Ciampa and Rush could just be the TNT Championship match on its own, but the Casino Gauntlet will be a lot of fun, as it always is. Not sure what’s going on with “Bowens wants to be in The Opps” since we haven’t seen Hook in a minute. And that Acclaimed reunion slow burn went ice cold, not sure why TK didn’t/hasn’t see the road ahead for it. He could even be using The Opps as part of it, where Caster is also trying to prove he has ruthless aggression. But just as they’d been teasing before, Caster and Bowens would see they’re better together, no one else needed, and boom, Acclaimed is back!
The Bucks VS Clon y Hechi was a great match, perhaps better than it needed to be, but that’s also par for the course with AEW. Okada VS Reed was also great, but sadly a forgone conclusion when they gave us that deal within The Don Callis Family. Bucks have momentum, Okada has momentum, Konosuke has momentum, the tag match could go either way, but all with the purpose of building Okada VS Takeshita. And great main event tag from Brawling Birds VS Thekla & Windsor. Marina taking the loss protects Thekla, but I feel she’ll find a way to retain against Jamie. Marina VS Windsor can go either way, since it’s non-title and is kinda more about the larger Death Riders story.
My Score: 8.9/10
