Tony Khan addresses the AEW fans!

“Hi. Thank you for joining us tonight, and welcome to AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite on TBS. Following All Out on PPV this past Sunday night, I have been forced to vacate the AEW World Championship, as well as the AEW World Trios Championships. New world trios champions will be crowned live tonight in our opening contest in a fight between two of the most storied trios in AEW’s history: Orange Cassidy & Best Friends VS The AEW All-Atlantic Champion, PAC, and the Lucha Brothers, the Death Triangle.

“The AEW World Championship is the single most prized title in all of combat sports, and it will be decided in the grandest way possible: The AEW Grand Slam Tournament of Champions. All the entries have been champions somewhere in their careers, and even some in AEW! Chris Jericho the SEVEN-TIME world champion and inaugural AEW World Champion, as well as three-time world champion, Jon Moxley, get byes into the semifinals.

The opening round features three-time TNT Champion, Sammy Guevara, taking on longest reigning TNT Champion, Darby Allin, this Friday for Rampage! And, SIX-TIME world champion Bryan Danielson taking on former AEW World and World Tag Team Champion, Hangman Page, here tonight!! The finals will happen in two weeks, September 21st, at Arthur Ashe Stadium for AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam 2022! Tony Khan promises us a great night of pro-wrestling, and that AEW will be at its very best these next few weeks. He thanks us again, and sends things back to commentary. Just how big will things get for AEW in the wake of All Out?

 

MJF is here!

Buffalo cheers their fellow New Yorker, and he shows his loyalty by wearing a Buffalo Bills Josh Allen jersey! MJF jogs right to the ring, does a bit of a CM Punk crowd lean, then gets in the ring to cut his music. “BUFFALO, NEW YORK! The Devil is back! Now listen up, Buffalo. First thing’s first. Who’s excited to see MJF? Lord knows I am, guys. I love Buffalo, New York. Hell, the greatest quarterback of all time, Josh Allen, is from Buffalo. Now, we’re gonna get down to brass tax a bit here, okay? Last time you guys saw me, I might’ve said some offensive stuff. I’m just being honest. But I think we can all agree…” Fans chant, “You Were Right!” MJF says he was just kidding then!

Everything he said was a joke! He loves AEW! He’ll never leave this place! He gets an “A E DUB!” chant going, and when MJF said the fans were all stupid marks, he didn’t mean it. Because without fans, there would be no MJF! How about a round of applause for yourselves? “Now, it’s about time. I have to address the big, fat, smelly elephant in the room, and no ma’am, I’m not talking about you. I’m just kidding, honey, we’ll meet up after the show. You’re gorgeous.” Fans cheer and MJF makes heart hands. Now, we know the world title has been vacated. Don’t boo! Hold on! There will be a tournament of champions to crown a new champion.

And if there’s one thing we can agree on, MJF knows one guy who deserves that championship. But MJF is working smart, not hard, so he is not gonna get in that tournament. Y’know why? Because he has a chip that guarantees him a championship match any damn time he wants! Fans cheer that. And also, Tony Khan is paying MJF a boatload o’ money~! Fans cheer that, too! Now, listen. Hear him out, guys. Hold on, he only has so much time allotted, shush. If there’s one thing MJF knows to be true, it’s that while you might think we’re in dark times, we’re not. What we need is leadership. And MJF cannot think of another person more trustworthy than MJF!

There was once a wise Jewish man, his name started with an M. When his people were meek, weak and needed help, that man split the sea wide open and walked them to the Promised Land. MJF isn’t telling you he’s Moses, that’d be ridiculous. HE’S BETTER THAN MOSES! Fans cheer for their new leader! MJF is gonna win the title because he is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he’s better than you, and you know it!! But wait! Here comes the previous champion, and one of the men in the tournament of champions, JON MOXLEY! Moxley enters from the audience side as always, and he gets a mic before getting in the ring.

Mox stares at MJF and fans cheer. “You… You are absolutely full of crap.” MJF says Jonathan thinks MJF isn’t being sincere in Buffalo, in front of all these grotesque, poor lard asses that have quite possibly the worst football team in the history of the United States of America? Off goes the jersey! And he wipes his butt with it! “Josh Allen SUCKS!” But Moxley may be a bit woozy after going to sleep on Sunday, but maybe he has a point. Maybe MJF doesn’t care about AEW. Maybe MJF doesn’t care about the people. And maybe, just maybe, MJF just looks at the world title as nothing more than a bargaining chip that he can use for the bidding war of 2024.

Maybe MJF takes that title with him to a real wrestling company, with real fans and real wrestlers like MJF’s friend and hero, the American Roller Code-ster, Cody Rhodes! Fans boo but MJF tells the “bums” to keep their mouths shut! Maybe, just maybe, MJF gets to work for a real boss, the only Khan in pro-wrestling that’s worth a damn, jolly old Saint Nick! “Because to quote the greatest wrestler of all time, and my personal hero, The Game… ‘That is what’s best for business.'” Mox slaps MJF’s mic down and then says, “This is not the time, and this is not the place. And I am in no mood. You need to leave this ring right now, or I will make you leave.”

Off comes the jacket and fans fire up! MJF unbuttons his shirt as Moxley rolls up his sleeves. Fans fire up for Moxley as MJF struggles with his shirt sleeve. MJF gets the shirt off now, but he just stands there. And then he bails out! Fans boo because MJF is still MJF. Moxley says MJF’s theme music sucks, too. Now, Buffalo, Mox is in no mood. Mox is pissed off, embarrassed, and angry about a great many things. None more so than that he is standing here without the AEW World Championship, the only material possession in the world that really matters to him. But the belt itself is leather and metal and you can buy one online. That belt doesn’t mean anything.

What means something is what the belt represents. It means something to Moxley and to a lot of people. “The AEW World Championship represents passion for this sport, passion for this business. It represents the passion of the guys and girls in the back, and the fans that fill the arenas and watch at home. Those three letters on the AEW World Championship, they represent the heroes during the pandemic, during a time when the world needed heroes. It represents the dream, the vision that we all had when we started this thing years ago. And we wanted to show the world just what wrestling could be!

“The AEW World Championship represents taking the dark and ugly side of this business and letting it die with another generation. The world championship represents the freedom to be as great as you are willing to dare to be! The AEW World Championship means being better than I was the day before. Even if it was just a little bit better, even if nobody notices but me. That world championship represents slaying demons, that world championship represents everything I love about this business!” Fans fire up and cheer Moxley on. Moxley says the fact remains, he lost. And that’s on him, that’s his fault, he made a mistake and got pinned.

Moxley missed the game winning shot. And he was supposed to be on vacation right now until about two days ago. But here’s another chance to take another shot when the game’s on the line. This tournament of champions is one hell of a shot, one hell of a big rock to push to the top of the hill again. Chris Jericho, the greatest of all time. Bryan Danielson, the best pure wrestler to ever step in the ring, a better pure wrestler than Moxley will ever be. Darby Allin, Hangman Page, Sammy Guevara, three dudes all younger than Moxley, faster than Moxley, more naturally gifted than Moxley could ever be. So yeah, that’s a hell of a shot.

But winners always want the ball when the game’s on the line. The ace always wants the ball. And Moxley wants the ball! So yeah, Moxley’s taking the shot. Because this isn’t just time to win, this isn’t just the fourth quarter, this is time to be a legend! The Maniac fires Buffalo up for this already exciting tournament! Will Moxley fight just as hard as he always has to get to the Grand Slam?

 

Vacated AEW World Trios Championships: Best Friends VS Death Triangle!

As epic as All Out was with the trios title tournament finale, it might as well have never happened. These two teams have scores to settle, and they get to do it with gold on the line!

Trent stays up to DOUBLE STOMP Pac down! Fans fire up and the standing count starts. Pac and Trent stir, Trent heads for the corner to tag in Cassidy!

BREAKING NEWS for AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam!

As if there wasn’t already enough, we will see a rematch from All Out! The AEW World Tag Team Champions, Swerve In Our Glory, will defend the titles against The Acclaimed once more! Will that be the time Platinum Max & Anthony Bowens finally strike gold?

 

Backstage interview with The Dark Order.

Tony Schiavone stands with Evil Uno, Preston Vance, John Silver & Alex Reynolds as he notes that injuries kept them from competing for the vacated trios titles. Silver starts speaking, but then Jose the Assistant to La Faccion Ingobernable storms in! He tells everyone to shut up, and he tells Preston Vance that Andrade is making him one last offer. For whatever reason, El Idolo wants Vance to work for him, so here’s the contract. Uno tells Jose that maybe he didn’t understand what they were saying last week. The Dark Order is NOT for sale! Silver says Jose’s last name is “the assistant.” Get outta here!

But in walks Andrade and Rush. They don’t wanna speak with anyone but Vance. No, the only thing Andrade will be speaking to are Johnny’s fists! Rush gets fired up. Silver wants to fight? Yes, he’d love to! Andrade gets Rush to calm down and fall back for now. Will LFI not give up until they get what, and who, they want?

 

AEW shares footage from after All Out’s Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way.

Britt Baker tried to talk with Jamie Hayter, but Hayter wasn’t having it after the stunt Britt pulled. Hayter would’ve won the title, and Britt apologizes, but it doesn’t matter. Britt sulks away, did the Doctor just bust up the best friendship she had in AEW?

 

Interim AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm VS Penelope Ford w/ Kip Sabian!

Thunder Rosa got hurt, a Fatal 4 Way was held, and it was the Lightning From Down Under that struck! Gold, that is. But the new champion, interim though she may be, does not rest when there’s work to be done. Storm is going to be a fighting champion, but will she stay spotless while waiting for Rosa’s return? Or will Mrs. Superbad get herself a golden ticket tonight?

The bell rings and Storm circles with Ford. They tie up, Ford hits a headlock and takeover but Storm headscissors. Ford moves around, hops and hops and handsprings free!

Ford ROCKS Storm, whips her to ropes, but Storm runs her over again! Things keep moving, Storm runs Ford again! And then SHOTGUNS her into the corner! Fans fire up and Storm says kiss this! SWEET- NO, Ford avoids the hip attack, she’s smarter than that. But then she gets WRECKED by that dropkick! Fans fire up as Storm goes out, but Ford YANKS her into the steel steps! Ford drags Storm up and puts her in as AEW goes picture in picture.

Ford takes her time returning, then rains down forearms on Storm! Ford lets off and she drags Storm up to bump off buckles. Ford then runs, handsprings and RAMS into Storm at the corner!

Mrs. Superbad put up a fight, but the Lightning From Down Under struck her down! Who will be next to step to Storm?

 

AEW hear from Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker, as well as Hook & Action Bronson.

On Sunday, in a competitive match, Hook won against Cool Hand Ange. They’ll give credit where it’s due, but then Hook also got his just desserts from Daddy Magic! Welcome to the real world, kid! But just as Menard & Parker were handling business, Action Bronson showed up? Bronson tells them to not try any of that coward stuff in their life with his guy. Well if Bronson wants to walk in all willy nilly into “OUR WORLD,” Daddy Magic don’t think so! Not that night, not any night! Bronson does not belong in wrestling!

Bronson says AEW is coming to Queens soon. That’s his backyard. Grand Slam, come see them! Hook may be crazy, but y’all don’t know ’bout Bronson. Menard says if Bronson wants to spit in their faces, he’ll get a taste! What will happen when the Jericho Appreciation Society throw down with the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil and the man behind the song?

 

The Acclaimed is here!

Buffalo is so ready to “Yo! Listen!” “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Oh, that wasn’t part of Max Caster’s plan. The AEW World Tag Team Champions interrupt already, and Swerve says he’s sorry. Were they all here to hear more stupid, corny rap jokes from The Acclaimed? “YES! YES! YES!” And they even call Swerve an A-Hole! Well, in that case, Swerve has a joke for them. The Acclaimed as AEW Tag Champions. HAHA! But for real- Billy Gunn cuts “Swervy Boy” off right there. See, he doesn’t know if the fans are listening, but this ain’t Swerve’s House no more! This is Daddy Ass’s House! Fans chant for “DADDY ASS! DADDY ASS!”

And Bowens says, because of all the fans, in two weeks, Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City, it is The Acclaimed VS Swerve In Our Glory, round two! And the uncrowned champs are taking home the gold! Because EVERYONE loves the Acclaimed! Now scissor him, Daddy Ass!! Not quite a mic drop, but Swerve takes off his sunglasses. It was already an epic at All Out, will this time be even more insane between Swerve and the Acclaimed?

 

Backstage interview with The Jericho Appreciation Society.

Specifically, Schiavone is with Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Tay Melo & Anna “Jay A S.” Schiavone says they’re celebrating Jericho’s big win on Sunday. Big? How about a GIGANTIC win over Bryan Danielson. And just look at him! Jericho’s better than ever. Here’s a history lesson: 400 years ago, Ponce De Leon went looking for the Fountain of Youth. He didn’t find it, but in 2022, Corazon De Leon, Lionheart Chris Jericho, found that fountain! He’s drinking it in, maaaan~! That’s why Jericho beat Bryan on Sunday at his own game. Jericho is now the Best Wrestler Ever, the Best Sports Entertainer Ever, the BWEE B’SEE!

What? B WEE! B SEE! Hashtag it, Tony! And that’s another reason why Jericho will beat Bryan again, next week on Dynamite to then go on to Grand Slam and become the world champion for the EIGHTH TIME! Because it is Jericho’s title! AEW is his company! And this is his EFFIN locker room! No one is ever taking that away from Jericho, ever!! EVER. And when it comes to the Jericho Appreciation Society, he’s got two little brothers. One is Spanish God Sammy, who takes on Darby Allin this Friday on Rampage in the Tournament of Champions. Sammy says that’s right! He tells Darby that on Rampage, “your little turtle lovin’ ass is getting beat!”

Jericho says the JAS doesn’t like turtles! And his other little brother is Danny Garcia, who is in the biggest match of his career, in his hometown of Buffalo, New York! He’s against Wheeler Yuta, but Jericho knows Garcia will win, because he believes in Garcia. But because Garcia decided to not join them on Sunday, the JAS leaves Garcia alone. Garcia will win, just without the JAS. Right, Sammy? Oh, sorry, he wasn’t paying attention. Look how sexy they all are! Even Jericho! Look at those abs! Is Jericho writing off Hangman Page already when the tournament’s not even begun? And is Garcia going to be able to do this all on his own?

 

AEW TNT Championship: Wardlow VS Tony Nese w/ Mark Sterling!

The War Dog won alongside his brothers in arms, FTR, against Jay Lethal and the Motor City Machine Guns. But now he sets out on his own again, ready to powerbomb anyone and everyone who’s coming for his gold. Will the Premier Athlete be able to survive the symphony? Or will Wardlow give Nese a powerbomb for every one of his eight abs?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and this is WAR!

Fans chant for “WARD~LOW! WARD~LOW!” but Nese flexes on him. Nese mocks Wardlow’s lesser abs and jigglier pecks, but Wardlow HEADBUTTS Nese with a harder head! And then gives him the wind-up LARIAT! The straps come down, and Wardlow drags Nese up and reels him in! Fans fire up for the POWERBOMB! Sterling is stunned but that’s just the first verse! Fans fire up for it, “ONE MORE TIME!” and Wardlow gives Nese the SECOND! And then right into the THIRD! Cover, Wardlow wins!

Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)

But wait! Wardlow wants to give an encore to the encore! Sterling gets up on the apron, but Wardlow TOSSES Sterling into the ring! Sterling flounders and begs for mercy! Josh Woods appears and he drags Sterling out of the ring to save him! Wardlow gets a mic to say, “I’ve been hearing a lot on the internet, that Wardlow’s lost it! That the momentum’s gone! Wardlow, he should do this, he should do that. Well let me tell you something! Wardlow is the TNT Champion, and it’s time for me to remind everybody in that locker room, everybody in this business, and all of my fans that have stuck by me since day one, that this is WARDLOW’S WORLD!!”

The War Dog is fired up and ready! Who will step up to him and see whether or not Wardlow’s lost a step?

 

Darby Allin speaks.

“Ever since we both started in this company, we’ve been competing against each other. Darby wins the TNT Championship, Sammy wins the TNT Championship. Darby does something crazy, Sammy does something crazy. But the one thing we haven’t done is become the AEW World Champion. At one time, I would’ve considered you a friend, but now, I don’t think anybody respects you.” Darby says he won’t even have Sting be ringside. If Sammy wants to win the world title fair, then he needs to prove he doesn’t need anyone else, either. Will the Spanish God accept the Relentless One’s challenge to do this truly 1v1?

 

Grand Slam Tournament of Champions, Opening Round: Hangman Page VS Bryan Danielson!

The Cowboy fought hard alongside Silver & Reynolds, but they lost out on the AEW Trios Championships. The American Dragon fought hard against Lionheart Chris Jericho, but lost because of a low blow. Both men want redemption on top of another world championship run, but only one can move on! Who faces The Wizard of AEW in the semifinals?

The vacated belt is on display, so both men get a good look at it as they make their entrances. The bell rings and fans rally up as the two stare down. Buffalo wants “COWBOY SH*T!” but Hangman offers a handshake. Bryan dismisses him, so the two circle. They tie up, Bryan headlocks, but Hangman endures and powers out. Bryan rams shoulders but Hangman stays up. Bryan sighs and they circle again. Bryan calls for the knuckle lock and Hangman obliges. They have a test of strength and are in a deadlock at the center of the ring. Hangman powers Bryan down to his knees, but Bryan fights back up and rolls back.

Bryan reverses the wrench on Hangman, then breaks one knuckle lock to get a wristlock. Hangman rolls, reverses it back and wrenches Bryan now. Bryan rolls, hooks a leg and even gets a chinbar. Hangman slips through to that to wrench Bryan again. Bryan pushes Hangman to a corner, the ref calls the ropebreak and counts, Bryan lets off with a hard pat on the shoulder. Hangman storms up on Bryan and Bryan backs away to bail out of the ring. Fans rally and duel while Bryan cools things off. Hangman stays calm and patient as Bryan takes his time returning. They reset, feel things out, and tie up again.

Bryan headlocks, Hangman endures and powers out. They ram shoulders again but neither falls, so Hangman CHOPS Bryan! Hangman eggs Bryan on so Bryan CHOPS! Hangman CHOPS, Bryan is stinging! But then he picks a leg, turns Hangman over, and hooks the legs up! Bryan grabs the arms, and he then STOMPS the knees! Hangman crawls to a corner but Bryan is on him with CHOPS! And KICKS! CHOP! But Hangman turns it around to CHOP back! And forearm! And CHOP again! Bryan staggers away but he comes back with a CHOP! And a CHOP! And a KICK, KICK, KICK! Hangman sits down but Bryan drags him up to wrench the arm.

Bryan whips corner to corner but Hangman reverses. Hangman runs in but into a BOOT! Bryan goes up, but Hangman DECKS him off the top! Bryan ends up on the apron, Hangman triangle jump LARIATS! Fans fire up as Bryan flops to the floor! Hangman takes a moment to take aim, PLANCHA! But Bryan dodges, hammerlocks the arm and POSTS it! Hangman falls, clutching his shoulder, and AEW goes to break!

AEW returns and Bryan isolates Hangman’s arm to STOMP it! Hangman clutches the elbow but Bryan drags him up to top wristlock and arm-drag Hangman down. Bryan isolates the arm again, to stomp it again! Hangman shakes out the arm but Bryan KICKS him in the back! Hangman writhes but Bryan drags him around to wrench the bad arm. Bryan CHOPS Hangman to a corner, but Hangman CHOPS back! Bryan CHOPS, Hangman CHOPS! But that’s Hangman’s bad arm! Bryan KICKS the bad arm, KICKS him to the corner, then KICKS him more! Bryan whips, Hangman reverses, but Bryan goes up and over.

Bryan keeps moving, he ducks ‘n dodges, but runs into a scoop! FALL AWAY SLAM! Even with one good arm, Bryan is sent tumbling out of the ring! Hangman fires up and fans rally behind him as he kips up! Hangman aims again, PLANCHA! Direct hit this time and down goes Bryan! Hangman drags Bryan up and puts him in the ring, and Bryan goes to a corner. Hangman gets in, runs corner to corner, and he clotheslines! But that’s still the bad arm! Bryan swings, but Hangman spins him and fireman’s carries, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Bryan survives, showing the toughness of a six-time world champion!

Fans rally up and duel as both men sit up. Hangman shakes out his arm while Bryan checks his legs. Hangman drags Bryan up to Alabama Lift, but Bryan sunset flips it! High stack, TWO! Bryan is in a corner, Hangman runs in, but Bryan drop toeholds him into buckles! Bryan KICKS Hangman, runs corner to corner and DROPKICKS him! Bryan keeps moving, another DROPKICK! And then Bryan runs again, into a POP-UP- NO, Bryan RANAS the bomb away! BUZZSAW! Cover, TWO! Hangman survives, showing the toughness of a world champion in his own right. Jericho is watching backstage, happy to see Bryan struggling.

Bryan stands up and he waits on Hangman to sit up. Hangman does sit up, and Bryan KICKS him! And KICKS him! And KICKS him! BUZZSAW again! Fans fire up as Bryan goes up the corner! But Hangman trips him up! Hangman throws forearms, Bryan throws them back, but Hangman CHOPS! Bryan throws another forearm but Hangman fires off! Hangman climbs up after Bryan now, brings him up and scoops, SUPER FALL AWAY SLAM!! Cover, TWO!! Hangman just goes right to the apron! He takes aim at Bryan, but Bryan bails out the far side! Bryan knew better, and fans cheer as AEW goes picture in picture.

Hangman is frustrated, but he goes after Bryan on the far side. Hangman drags Bryan up, and whips him into railing! Bryan takes a seat in the corner, and Hangman gets some space. Hangman fires up and runs in, to BOOT Bryan down! Fans fire up and Hangman refreshes the ring count. Hangman brings Bryan back up, puts him back in the ring, and has him on the apron to CHOP! Hangman CHOPS Bryan again, shakes out the arm, and gets back on the apron. Hangman drags Bryan up but Bryan WRINGS the arm into the apron! Hangman writhes and clutches the arm while Bryan drags himself up and into the ring.

Bryan crawls his way over to Hangman and they go forehead to forehead. AEW returns to single picture as both men stand. Bryan CHOPS, Hangman CHOPS, repeat! Hangman even CHOPS through the pain! But Bryan EuroUppers again and again, only for Hangman to catch Bryan into a backslide! TWO, and Bryan GERMAN SUPLEXES! Hangman lands on his feet! POP-UP SIT-OUT POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO!! Bryan survives and fans chant “This is Awesome!” as the standing count starts. Hangman sits up first but Bryan crawls to a corner. Bryan drags himself up the ropes but Hangman stands at 4.

Hangman CHOPS Bryan again! And hoists him up top again. Hangman CHOPS again, but that arm is bugging him. Hangman climbs up to the very top, but Bryan slips out! Bryan trips Hangman up, puts him in a Tree of Woe, and fires off KICK after KICK! Bryan runs corner to corner to SLIDING DROPKICK! Then he sits Hangman up out of the Tree, goes up behind him, and rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Bryan then stands Hangman up, for a SUPER BACK SUPLEX! Hangman lands on his feet?!? ROLLING- NO, Bryan boots it, only for the SOUTHPAW! Cover, TWO!! Bryan survives, and he gets Hangman’s arm!

Bryan has the omoplata and the LEBELL LOCK!! Hangman endures and fans are thunderous! Hangman moves around, reaches out blindly with Bryan’s wrists in his face, and powers out! Hangman has the legs and he CATAPULTS Bryan out! Bryan skins the cat to get back in! Hangman swings, into a underhook! BUTTERFLY SUPLEX into the ARMBAR! Hangman hurries to move around but Bryan just uses that to omoplata and LEBELL LOCK!! Hangman is caught again! Bryan smothers Hangman, pulls him back, but Hangman fights with his legs! Hangman powers through the hold, and he RAMS knees into Bryan!

Fans are torn while both men are down again. Fans hope these guys “FIGHT FOREVER!” but this has to end somehow! These two have had a time limit draw before, will it happen again? Hangman brings Bryan up to LARIAT! But Bryan brushes that off and eggs Hangman on. Hangman LARIATS again! Bryan still stays up and he eggs Hangman on again. Then he swats the lariat to ROLLING ELBOW! But Hangman ROLLING ELBOWS! Bryan ROLLING ELBOWS! Then he ducks Hangman’s elbow, runs in, but into the DEADEYE!!! Cover, TWO!?!? Bryan survives and Hangman can’t believe it!

Fans are thunderous again as Hangman drags Bryan to a drop zone. Hangman goes to a corner, slowly climbs it, and MOONSAULTS but FLOPS! Bryan runs in, BUSAIKU KNEE!!! But it sends Hangman into the corner! Hangman just tumbles out of the ring! Fans are torn again but Bryan just resets and builds speed! Bryan DIVES! But Hangman blocks it! APRON POWERBOMB!! Hangman goes up top, for the ARIHARA MOONSAULT!! Direct hit but Hangman puts Bryan in the ring! Hangman loads up, slingshots, BUCK- NO, Bryan gets around to O’Conner BRIDGE! BRYAN WINS!!!

Winner: Bryan Danielson, by pinfall (advances to the semifinals)

It seems Jericho’s prediction was right! The American Dragon finds a way to win, and now we get an All Out rematch next week! Will Jericho’s seven times beat Bryan’s six? Or will Bryan avenge his loss in Chicago?

 

“Jungle Boy” Jack Perry speaks.

“This was never really about a wrestling match. Christian Cage, the only thing that you’ve done is prolonged the inevitable. So go get your little surgery. And when you are back at 100%, I’m not just gonna beat you. I am going to take years of off your miserable life. And Luchasaurus, it’s funny that you used to carry me down to the ring on your shoulders. Because for three years, I carried your entire career on my back! I busted my ass week in and week out to make us champions, when everyone said you were a liability and a joke. And maybe they were right. Maybe what really happened to me at All Out was that a giant anchor was released from around my ankles.

“Sometimes, you can move on from your past. And sometimes, you have to destroy it.” Will Jack Perry make Luchasaurus pay for the sins of Captain Charisma? And when will Christian return to face the consequences of his actions?

 

AEW returns with Stokely Hathaway and associates on stage.

Lee Moriarty, Ethan Page, W. Morrissey and the Gunn Sons, Austin & Colten, stand with Stokely as he has the mic. “I know, I know, I know. Everyone wants an explanation from ‘the king of ladder matches,’ Stokely Hathaway about what I did at All Out.” He’ll give it to us. All Out was the greatest moment of his career! But wait, staff is telling Stokely to cut, they need to get to the main event. Stokely laughs as he yanks the staff member into the shot. This guy right here is saying they’re low on time and to wrap it up, like Stokely doesn’t work here or something. That’s funny. LISTEN! When Stokely has the mic, you give him the same respect you would your own father! Got it? Good.

Then Stokely DECKS the poor guy! And the Gunn Sons mug him! Ethan talks trash on the staffer, Lee mocks him, and then Ethan DECKS the guy, too! Fans call them all A-Holes, but they don’t care! The Gunn Clubs set the staffer guy up for Morrissey to BOOT down the ramp!! Security rushes out, but will Stokely Hathaway and his minions do what they want when they want?

 

AEW hears from Claudio Castagnoli and Dax Harwood.

The Swiss Superman says the ROH World Championship has always been a workhorse championship. It is defended everywhere around the world, it doesn’t matter. And this time, it means everything. Dax the Ax knows he comes in as the underdog, he’s “just a tag team guy.” But Dax fights every night with his heart, his soul and for his family. Because if Dax loses, that’s Claudio taking money outta the Harwood family bank account, and Dax can’t have that. Claudio hopes Dax is ready, will this one burn down the house on Rampage?

 

ROH Pure Championship: Wheeler Yuta VS Daniel Garcia!

This match happened before, but it was in the Dark so did it really even happen? But that doesn’t take away from how big this match here is tonight! The Decoder won the previous time, will he have the formula to repeat history? Or will the Dragonslayer make Buffalo proud with a hometown victory?

As part of Garcia’s entrance, he has Westside Gun live and in person to throw out some Peace “Fly” God! Buffalo fires up for both WSG and Danny G, then Bobby Cruise makes the introductions. The title is raised, and in this newest battle of BCC VS JAS, we see if a pro-wrestler or a sports entertainer brings this title home!

The judges for this match are Matt Sydal, BJ Whitmer and Jerry Lynn. The Code of Honor is NOT upheld as these two are heated rivals, but fans are thunderous at the bell. Yuta and Garcia tie up and are in a deadlock. They go around, Garcia headlocks but Yuta powers out. Garcia runs Yuta over and then struts a bit. Fans fire up and Garcia waits on Yuta. They go again, Yuta gets a leg and trips Garcia to have a toehold. Fans boo which surprises Yuta, but Garcia chinbars and drags Yuta down to then rear mount! Fans cheer as Garcia eggs Yuta on. Yuta gets up, gets in Garcia’s face and pushes him to a corner.

Garcia pushes back, things get chippy, but they reset. Fans are thunderous for Garcia, he ties up with Yuta and they’re in a deadlock. Yuta puts Garcia in a corner, Garcia puts Yuta in the other corner, but then they go to another corner. They go back to center, the collar ‘n’ elbow is tight, and then they go to ropes and tumble out! Both men get up in a huff and stare down, but they remember the no head strikes rule. The ref tells them to get back in the ring, and they both slide in fast. Fans fire up as this continues and AEW goes picture in picture.

Garcia and Yuta feel out knuckle locks, have a test of strength, and they’re in another deadlock. Garcia starts pushing Yuta back, but he bridges, rises up, and trips Garcia! Knuckle lock cover, TWO as Garcia get an arm up! Yuta puts that down, TWO as the other arm comes up. Yuta shifts to a cording hold and he grinds the arm. Garcia endures, powers Yuta to ropes, but Yuta cranks the arm to hold onto the hold! Garcia fights up to his feet, but Yuta passes him through to wrench back into the cording hold! Garcia still endures, whips Yuta into ropes, and then he holds on! That’s Garcia’s first ropebreak, he has two left.

Yuta lets off slowly, but Garcia uses that to hip toss Yuta up and out of the ring! Yuta tumbles to the floor and fans cheer Garcia. Garcia waits on Yuta, then opens the ropes for him. Yuta goes under, so Garcia stomps away on him! The ref counts, Garcia lets off at 4, and he fires back up. Garcia stands Yuta up to CHOP him! Yuta CHOPS back! Garcia CHOPS! Yuta is stinging but he CHOPS back! Garcia CHOPS, Yuta CHOPS, repeat! Garcia kicks low, snapmares, then PENALTY KCIKS Yuta in the back! Garcia tallies a point for himself then covers, TWO! AEW returns to single picture as Garcia kicks Yuta around.

Garcia runs the ropes, but Yuta ducks the kick! Yuta hits an atomic drop, then ENZIGURIS Garcia to a corner! Yuta runs in to A-LIST LARIAT! Yuta then climbs to FLYING FOREARM! Cover, TWO! Fans rally for Garcia as he checks his teeth. Yuta kicks Garcia around now and fans boo. Garcia is annoyed, Yuta kicks him again, and the CHOPS return! They CHOP and CHOP, but Yuta kicks and snap suplexes! Yuta digs his knee into Garcia then covers, TWO! Yuta stomps Garcia, wrenches his arm and grinds the shoulder but Garcia fights up. Garcia whips Yuta away but Yuta KICKS him! Garcia and Yuta just glare at each other now!

Garcia choke grips, Yuta breaks that, but Garcia SLAPS Yuta! Then Garcia SAIDOS! Yuta goes to a corner, Garcia runs in and clotheslines! Then SAIDOS again! And a LAIRAT! Deep stack, TWO!! Garcia drags Yuta around, has the legs, steps through, but Yuta turns that to a cradle! TWO, Garcia BOOTS Yuta, but Yuta rewinds and shoots around, GERMAN SUPLEX! Yuta holds on, he drags Garcia back up, and GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Garcia clubs at the hands but can’t get free before the GERMAN SUPLEX! Yuta is turning Buffalo into Suplex City as he drags Garcia up again! Fans rally for Garcia and he hooks Yuta’s leg to block!

Garcia standing switches to GERMAN SUPLEX Yuta now! Garcia holds on, and he GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Garcia drags Yuta up and GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Each man has hit three, Garcia wants a fourth! But Yuta resists, switches, and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Fans boo as Yuta still has the waistlock! GERMAN SUPLEX! But Garcia switches back to GERMAN SUPLEX again! And GERMAN SUPLEX again! Both men have five, will Garcia go for  his sixth? Yuta and Garcia switch and switch and switch, Garcia shoves Yuta but Yuta elbows him away! Yuta goes up but Garcia CHOPS his back! Garcia goes up top, to SUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!!

Fans are thunderous while both men are down, and AEW goes picture in picture! The standing count starts, and it climbs to 5 of 10 before either man sits up. Garcia and Yuta get to ropes, drag themselves up at 7, and then Yuta flops to the apron. Garcia goes out to the apron, too, and they meet at the corner. They glare at each other through the ropes, and Yuta junkyard dog headbutts Garcia! And again! Yuta stands, he drags Garcia up and tears off a crossbar cover. Yuta stands on Garcia’s head ON the crossbar!! The ref reprimands, Yuta lets off and raises his hands. Fans surely boo but he soaks up the heat.

Yuta drags Garcia through the ropes, undoes another crossbar cover, and then stands Garcia up. But Garcia YANKS Yuta into the crossbars! Yuta clutches his ribs and Garcia climbs up! Garcia stands on Yuta’s head on the crossbar! The ref counts, Garcia lets off, and then he shifts position. Garcia drags Yuta up the corner, then to the top. Yuta throws body shots but Garcia gives them back! They brawl, Garcia brings Yuta to the very top, and hits a JUMPING SUPERPLEX!! Both men are down as AEW returns to single picture! The standing count is back and the fans rally up! We’re past 5 of 10 again before either stirs.

Yuta and Garcia push up off the mat and get forehead to forehead. Yuta SLAPS Garcia, but Garcia fires a flurry of palm strikes! Yuta SLAPs, Garcia fires another flurry, and now they’re both swinging palm strikes! It’s fast ‘n’ furious and fans are loving this! They stand up, and they SLAP SLAP SLAP all at the same time! Garcia dodges to DECK Yuta! Yuta is down and the standing count is back! Fans are thunderous for Garcia but Yuta sits up at 5 of 10. He still isn’t up, we’re at 8! Yuta flounders up so Garcia trips him! Garcia steps through, DRAGONTAMER!! Jericho is watching backstage and cheering Garcia on!

Yuta crawls, reaches out, Garcia sits deep but Yuta gets the ROPEBREAK! That’s just Yuta’s first and Garcia lets off in frustration. Yuta stands, and he DECKS Garcia with a haymaker! That is Yuta’s warning for using a closed fist! Yuta snarls and he drags Garcia up by his ears! But Garcia leg scissors Yuta down, ties the legs up again, DRAGONTAMER!!! And it’s deeeeeep! Yuta endures, grabs Garcia around the head and has a CROSSFACE! But Garcia fights up and moves around! But Yuta shifts through, SEATBELLT! TWO!!! Garcia escapes but Yuta is on him! Yuta steps through, but Garcia boots him down!

Garcia stands into the DRAGONTAMER!!! And it’s DEEEEP!! Yuta grabs Garcia in a CHANCERY! DUELING SUBMISSIONS!!! But Garcia pumps his hips, and Yuta TAPS!! Garcia wins!!!

Winner: Daniel Garcia, by submission (NEW ROH Pure Champion)

Buffalo explodes because they finally have a champion to get behind! Red ‘n’ black confetti flies as Garcia celebrates his win on his own! But wait! Bryan Danielson walks out now. Is he here to talk with Garcia or with Yuta? Yuta has Bryan stay back, so that he can shake Garcia’s hand! The Code of Honor is upheld and fans love it, but then Bryan snatches the belt from Garcia? Bryan wags his finger, and helps him put it on around his waist! An even bigger show of respect from The American Dragon to the Dragonslayer, but here comes Jericho! Jericho looks stunned! Is he losing Garcia to the pro-wrestling side? Will he take this out on Bryan in their rematch next week?


My Thoughts:

A great episode of AEW here, not just to follow up All Out but to adjust from the craziness that happened after the PPV. I’m not going to worry about explaining what went down with CM Punk and The Elite, but it is clear that the first punishment is they’re all stripped of the titles they won at All Out. The other seems to be suspensions, as there was no sign of The Elite or Punk around tonight at all. At the same time, Punk is injured again (mishap during a tope suicida at All Out), so he was vacating his title and missing time anyway. But we got a great way to keep things going, such as putting the AEW Trios Championships onto the Best Friends VS Death Triangle match. It was a great match, and I’m surprised Death Triangle won. I think this makes Pac the first dual champion in AEW.

Great move with this tournament of former champions, too. We already got an awesome match out of Bryan and Hangman, but between Jericho’s promo and the feud between BCC and JAS, I should’ve known Bryan would win. The JAS also had good promos, both Jericho hyping up the tournament and also Menard & Parker calling out Hook and Action Bronson. Darby had a very good promo reviewing his rivalry with Sammy Guevara, and their match is going to be awesome stuff for Rampage. Either guy could win because they’ll be facing Moxley, and will then have one hell of a match with Moxley in the semifinals.

Speaking of Moxley, we got great stuff out of him and MJF. I really liked MJF’s sarcastic promo where he made sure to check off all the Face clichés like shouting out the town and being inspirational. Moxley also had a very passionate promo to get us all back on AEW’s side, not worrying about Punk and his issues. MJF will of course challenge whoever wins the tournament in a couple weeks, but I can’t be sure how the finals sort out. Bryan VS Jericho probably goes Bryan’s way since Jericho won at All Out. But then is Moxley going to win against Sammy/Darby? Will we end up with BCC VS BCC, Bryan VS Moxley? That’d be pretty wild.

It was also a great move to have titles up and down the card. Wardlow of course beats Nese to retain the TNT title, and he had a great promo to tell the naysayers to eat their words. I hope Wardlow just goes on this insane streak of defenses, facing all sorts of big names in AEW as well as outside AEW. If things are done between Miro and the House of Black (Malakai Black was let go, but because he has both physical and mental health concerns), maybe we can get Redeemer VS Wardog. Or hell, throw Brody and Buddy at Wardlow to see what happens. We also got a good promo out of Dark Order and LFI to escalate their story, I would love to see Vance & Uno VS LFI.

Great promo from Swerve and Acclaimed as part of the announcement that they are having a tag title rematch. Given All Out’s match was awesome, this rematch is going to be badass. We got a good bit from Hayter and Britt from after All Out. I hope this means Hayter is breaking away from Britt. Being Britt’s sidekick has held Hayter back, especially in a promotion where there’s no women’s tag titles. Storm VS Ford was a great title eliminator match, but I figured Storm would win. Ford only just got back, she can’t just jump the line. Depending on how things with Hayter and Britt goes, I would love if we got a proper 1v1 of Storm and Hayter, no interference or distractions.

Good stuff out of Stokely and his stable, playing with the meta of being told to wrap for sake of TV time. They got some good heel heat beating up that rando, and I suppose we’ll have to wait and see how each of Stokely’s guys gets going in the different title hunts. Obviously Gunn Club/Ass Boys are the tag team, and perhaps W. Morrissey is the world title guy. I would think Ethan is the TNT Championship guy while Lee Moriarty is the All-Atlantic Championship guy, and then any combination of three can go for the trios titles. And then we got a good promo vignette from Claudio and Dax, that is going to be a great title match, but I would think Claudio retains.

And what an awesome ROH Pure Championship match for the main event. Great tie-in to the BCC VS JAS story, of course, and Buffalo was so red hot for Garcia, of course he had to win. Though, Garcia would’ve probably won even if this wasn’t in Buffalo, because it’s just the story of Garcia showing his “pro-wrestler” side. But it meant so much more that the fans were 111% behind him, so this was a great moment for Garcia. Bryan and Yuta showing Garcia respect while Jericho is stunned was a great closing moment, too. This also adds to how Bryan probably wins next week, because Jericho is again going to have a faction falling apart around him.

My Score: 9/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Kenny Omega VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!

The AEW International Champion knows he has a Triple Threat waiting for him at Dynasty, so he needs to get himself ready. Will tonight be a tune-up for the Best Bout Machine? Or will he not like the taste of the Vanilla Babyface?

The bell rings and the fans fire up for “KENNY! KENNY!” Omega and Blake circle, feel things out, and tie up. Omega waistlocks, Blake pries at the grip, and Blake wrenches out to wristlock. Omega wrenches back, wristlocks again, but Blake rolls, cartwheels, and slips through to wrench. Blake spins Omega to snapmare, but Omega turns chinlock into armlock. Omega wrenches, then hits a headlock takeover. Blake headscissors, Omega kips free, and Omega hits another takeover. Omega fights off the headscissors, but Blake fights up to his feet. Blake powers up and out, but Omega runs him over! Blake kips up, then pie faces Omega! And flips him off!

St. Paul boos as Blake is anything but a babyface here. Omega shrugs that off and CHOPS Blake! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Blake sputters, Omega wrenches and reel shim in, for a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, Omega runs corner to corner, but Blake dodges! Omega hits buckles hard, then Blake fires shots to the lower back! The fans boo but Blake fires more body blows. Omega fires forearms and haymakers, but Blake knees low! Blake whips, hurdles, then dodges to DROPKICK! Blake kips up, and pulls out a finger gun! Blake licks it, BANG, but Omega ROCKS him first! Omega then brings Blake to a corner, but Blake blocks the buckle bump!

Blake CLAWS Omega’s eyes, then steps out to the apron with him, APRON SPEAR! Omega goes to the floor, Blake builds speed, INVERTED DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp, and Blake high-fives Big Shotty. Blake puts Omega in, then springboards, but Omega gets under! Blake handsprings through, but into a V-TRIGGER! Lee gets on the apron, but Omega DECKS him! The fans fire up, Omega vows to end this! SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Blake sputters, but Omega hits another SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Blake is dazed but Omega isn’t done! Omega reels Blake in, hooks a leg, AOI SHODOU! The fans fire up and Omega takes out his finger gun!

Omega says BANG, runs in, and V-TRIGGER! Blake sputters, Omega Electric Chair Lifts! Fold for the ONE WINGED ANGEL!! Cover, Omega wins!

Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall

The Vanilla Babyface melted from the heat Omega is bringing! Omega picks up his belt but also a mic to say, “What’s going on?” The fans cheer, and Omega says it is unfortunate that he doesn’t get to wrestle every single week like he’d like. But when he gets the chance to come out to St. Paul, and when he promises them that he’ll make it quick, AEW’s fearless leader, Tony Khan, had no choice but to sign the match. But it will be a far different story when it comes to Dynasty! Omega not only has Ricochet, who the fans boo, but he also has the newcomer, though not so new to Omega, in “Speedball” Mike Bailey! The fans cheer that name!

And speaking of, here comes Speedball! The fans fire up as Bailey walks out, mic in hand, and he goes right to the ring. The fans cheer as these two are face to face, and Bailey says, “Kenny Omega…” Omega says, “Speedball.” Bailey congratulates Omega, and Omega says, “Thanks?” Bailey says he wanted to come out here and say that Omega is an inspiration to him. Bailey respects Omega. No, more than that, he admires Omega. As a wrestler, but also as a person, and as a champoin. But Kenny… Come Dynasty, even though Bailey respects Omega, he will not hold anything back.

Bailey won’t pull his punches, and he won’t hesitate for even one second to kick Omega’s head clean off and take that International Championship! Fans are torn on that, but Omega says, “So, by the sounds of it-” Oh no, Ricochet interrupts from the tron. “Do I have you attention? Okay, good, good, good. As much as I would love to be there in person, to smack both of you in your faces for even thinking that you’re going to leave Dynasty with my title… Fortunately for everybody involved in this situation, today is my wedding.” Ricochet models his white suit, and says he is dressed for the best day of his life.

“That is, until April 6th, when I continue to show everybody why Ricochet is Outta This World, and I beat you, Cornball, and I beat you, former Best Bout Machine, and I become the NEW International Champion! Oh, it sounds good, it sounds so good. I can see it now. So go ahead, continue to argue amongst yourselves about the inevitable. That being that after April 6th, Ricochet leaves Dynasty with both the girl and the gold. AHA~!” The One & Only adjusts his collar, but Omega tells him not so fast! Oh, well, he’s gone. But first of all, congratulations are in order. But that’ll be the only thing Omega will congratulate Ricochet on.

Because at Dynasty, make no mistake about it, it’s much like Ricochet said, it isn’t about making friends! Omega has a cat, he doesn’t need any more friends. The fans cheer that! Omega continues to say that as good of a guy as Bailey may be, and as big of a piece of garbage as Ricochet is, they aren’t Omega’s comrades. There is only one thing Omega has time for, there is only one thing Omega has room for, and it’s got to do with the thing on his shoulder, and that is his legacy. So consider yourselves just another stepping stone to solidifying Omega’s legacy. Oh and by the way, welcome to AEW, Bailey.

Unfortunately, while Omega wishes he could talk more, he must bid each and every one of you adieu! So until Dynasty, goodbye, MWAH! And goodnight, BANG! The Cleaner puts both his challengers on notice, but will the numbers spell disaster for him at Dynasty?

 

The Learning Tree speaks.

Chris Jericho says, “Last Sunday on Collision, I had Gravity’s mask taken from me. Or should I say, taken from us. But that’s okay, because I think it’s time for all the masks to be removed. It’s time to discuss some ugly truths that need to be addressed. Like the fact that you two (Big Bill & Bryan Keith) have been under the branches of The Learning Tree for far too long without using the wisdom that I’ve bestowed upon you. I need to ask you why I have to keep telling you time and time again to prove yourselves, I’m sick of asking! You need to think if it’s worthy for you to still be with Chris Jericho.

“If you think that, then it’s time for you to make some drastic changes, and go prove yourselves to me! Once again, for the last time, PROVE IT!” Bill & Keith quietly walk off, and Jericho turns his attention back to the camera. Bandido got his brother’s mask back, congrats. But it isn’t Gravity’s mask that Jericho wants, it’s Bandido’s! Jericho wants Bandido to feel the disgrace and humiliation that his brother did when Jericho tore that mask off in front of their family! And why would Bandido put up the mask? Jericho knows Bandido wants to be ROH World Champion again, so how about this? Title VS Mask for Dynasty!

Bandido, is it worth risking the humiliation? Is it risking the disgrace? Is it worth making your mother cry again when you lose the mask? Is it worth it? Jericho thinks so. See you at Dynasty. The Nueve is ready to risk it all, but will he be the one to lose it all in just 11 days?

 

MJF is here!

St. Paul is torn as the Scumbag walks out, mic already in hand. MJF goes to the ring, shows off MVP’s business card, then has them cut his music. MJF says, “Much like Michael Jackson’s legacy is far more important than that talentless hack named Prince…” MJF grins as the fans boo… “My words are far more important than everybody watching on their cheap TV sets in their trailer parks at home, and it’s damn sure more important than each and every one of yours.” The fans boo more, but MJF says, “Let’s play a game, okeh, Minnesota? We’re gonna shut the hell up. You think we can pull that off?” The fans boo, so no.

MJF says that’s what he thought. MJF tells MVP that he’s been looking at the card for two weeks straight. And he would like for them to have a little chit-chat so MJF can give an answer. MJF invites MVP out, and the fans cheer as the head of The Hurt Syndicate makes his way out here! Montel Vontavious Porter likes the fans singing along, “We Hurt~ People!” and chanting “M V P! M V P!” MJF says the thing we can agree on is that MVP is a legend in the sport of professional wrestling. And is that a new cane? That’s gorgeous! The fans cheer that, and MJF tells MVP that after everything with Adam Cole, MJF promised he would never do “friends” in this again.

And MJF has known “Montel” a very long time, and if there is one thing MJF has learned about him, it’s that when MVP clocks in, he doesn’t do friends, either. MVP does business. MJF has been looking at the card for a long time, and he has made a decision. The decision is… MJF would like to be in the business of hurting people. MJF offers a handshake, MVP checks if he means it, and wait! The rest of the Hurt Syndicate is here! The fans fire up as Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin bring their AEW World Tag Team Championships to the ring. Lashley looks MJF right in the eyes while the fans again sing the song, “We Hurt~ People!”

And then Lashley offers a handshake! MJF asks if Lashley means that, and he says up top! But then Lashley explains that he wants the card. What? The card, Max. Hand it over. MJF says okay, here. MJF gives the card back to Lashley, and then Lashley looks to MVP and Shelton. Lashley hands MVP his belt to hold, and then he RIPS UP THE CARD! MJF says okay, does Lashley wanna go? They can do this now! MVP says no, no, they’re cool. MJF asks MVP what’s going on. He thought they were cool. MVP says yeah, they’re cool, they’re cool. He has Lashley stand down, and MJF says okay, they can talk later.

MJF steps out, the fans boo, and even MVP seems a bit unsure why Lashley pulled MJF’s card. MVP says business never sleeps, and that they know they can trust him. But wait! Bryan Keith & Big Bill walk out here? The Bad Apple tells everyone to hold on. “So I guess it is true. Hurt people do in fact hurt people. But don’t worry, we ain’t out here to join your little group therapy session. We got real business to attend to!” Bill takes the mic, but MVP tells him to get his “lil’ b*tch” back on the leash so the men can talk. Bill keeps Keith calm, and he says he sees the Hurt Syndicate standing in the ring with the tag titles, but he doesn’t see a challenger. MVP says, “Me neither!”

Bill wants to tell MVP something. MVP wants to run his mouth? MVP wants to come out here with his cane and his business cards, but Bill can’t tell if he’s American Psycho or Iceberg Slim. Is he a pimp or a businessman? MVP says he’s a bit o’ both, and he’ll make his boys turn The Learning Tree into their b*tches if Bill keeps running his mouth. Bill says all he sees is a chump, and the MVP of being Lashley’s b*tch. No, we established who the b*tch was, but if Bill wants to go on about this… Bill says they should talk over the tag team titles. Bill was once a tag team champion, and he was never pinned nor never submitted for those titles!

Bill’s partner got pinned by Sting, and then Sting ran off and retired before ever granting Bill a rematch. Shelton says they don’t care! Bill says how about this. He and Keith need to prove themselves to Jericho, so Bill will take his rematch, so that The Learning Tree will take those titles! MVP laughs, and says Bill’s a comedian. But since Bill and his “girlfriend” want a shot, they should actually win a match! Then they can talk about an opportunity for the titles. MVP goes to leave, Lashley stares down Bill, and then the Hurt Syndicate heads out. Who will The Redwood have to take down to prove he and the Bad Apple are ready for this fight?

 

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Toni Storm.

Renee Paquette is with La Mera Mera & the Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion, and brings up tonight’s main event. #ThunderStorm reunites for the first time in three YEARS, and they take on Penelope Ford and Toni’s future challenger, Megan Bayne. Yes, Toni remembers it well. They were so young, so unafraid. Nothing’s really changed. Rosa says no, everything has changed. Toni’s certainly changed! She has a butler now! And let’s not forget, the last time they worked together, Toni knocked Rosa out and tried to erase the face paint off Rosa’s face. Oh, we all make mistakes in the heat of passion.

Well, then make no mistake. Because Rosa wants what she never lost. Toni tells Rosa, “Enough of this gay banter. Megan Bayne, Penelope Ford, you two slop tarts are about to get double teamed like you’ve never dreamed!” Rosa plays along and says yes! Tonight, the games are over! Tonight, they fight! Tonight, you meet the team of… THUNDER TITS! W-What? No, it’s Thunder Storm. Not anymore! Strap yourselves in, girls, it’s gonna be a bumpy night. Well, whatever the team name, will Thunder & Storm strike down The Megasus & Superbad Girl?

 

Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Brody King!

The Protostar may have lost to Will Ospreay at Revolution, but he’s ready to redeem himself and rise back up the ranks. Will the Aussie Arrow shoot down this Hound of Hell? Or will Kyle come to understand why Brody is the King of Death?

Callis doesn’t join commentary, they don’t have the equipment ready, so he just throws Schiavone’s own notes at him. The fans tell Callis off, then they cheer on Brody. Kyle claims he needs a second with his tearaway pants, but then he BOOTS Brody instead! The ref rings the bell, Kyle fires off stomps, but he stops at 4. Kyle soaks up the heat, then OFF COME THE PANTS! Kyle flexes, but Brody stalks up behind him! The fans bark, Callis tells Kyle to turn around. Kyle soaks up more heat, but then he turns around into a CHOP! Brody drags Kyle up, CHOPS him again, and Kyle goes to a corner. Brody fires forearms again and again to sit Kyle down!

Brody digs his boot in, the ref counts, and Brody stops. Kyle flops out of the ring and St. Paul cheers Brody on. Brody paces while he waits on Kyle, and Callis gives Kyle a shoulder rub. Kyle rises, the fans tell Callis off, and Kyle hobbles around the way. Kyle slides in, but Brody drags Kyle up! Brody CHOPS Kyle, brings him around to scoop and SLAM! Then Brody runs to SENTON! Kyle sputters and the fans bark again. Brody drags Kyle back up, eggs him on, so Kyle CHOPS! And CHOPS! But Brody CHOPS and Kyle falls back! Kyle goes to the ropes, Brody stands him up to CHOP again! Brody runs, but Kyle follows! CALF KICK!

Brody sputters against the ropes and Callis cheers. Kyle stomps away at the ropes, but stops as the ref counts. The fans boo but Kyle drags Brody up. Kyle whips, but Brody blocks! Brody then swings, but Kyle dodges. Brody blocks the boot, and he LARIATS Kyle up and out! Kyle flops to the floor and the fans are thunderous! Brody has everyone barking as Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Callis is worried for Kyle as Brody storms out and drags him up. Brody whips Kyle hard into barriers, then high-fives the fans. Brody brings Kyle around to whip hard into railing! Kyle is upside-down, Brody high-fives more fans, and then Brody stands on Kyle! Brody flexes, the fans cheer, but the ref reprimands. Brody steps off, then he drags Kyle up. Callis keeps his distance mostly out of fear, and Brody whips Kyle into more railing! Brody holds Kyle up for photo ops, then he CHOPS! Kyle flops up and over into the front row! The ref has Brody give them space while he checks on Kyle. Kyle is okay to continue, but Brody just CHOPS him again!

Kyle ends up in the second row now, and Brody tells him night-night. Kyle manages to sit up, so Brody drags him back to the railing. Brody suplexes Kyle to the floor! Kyle sputters, but Brody puts him back in the ring. Brody climbs to the apron, but Kyle runs in and CALF KICKS him down! Brody stumbles backwards into the desk! Brody hobbles, Callis creeps up, but then Brody barks and scares Callis off. Kyle runs out to CLUB Brody on the back! Kyle puts Brody back in the ring and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans again tell Callis off, but Kyle taunts Brody. Brody leans against the ropes, Kyle brings him up, but Brody CHOPS!

Kyle sputters, but he KNEES low! Kyle fires knee after knee into Brody, then soaks up the heat. Kyle stands Brody up, but Brody CHOPS again! And again! And again! Kyle BOOTS in return! Kyle whips, but Brody blocks again! So Kyle ROCKS Brody with a forearm! Kyle whips, Brody reverses, but Kyle ducks ‘n’ dodges! Only to run into a BIG BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans fire up while both men are down, and a standing count starts already. Brody rises at 4 of 10, the fans bark, and Kyle sputters back up. Brody LARIATS Kyle back down! And LARIATS him again! And then CHOPS! Kyle rebounds, into a BACKDROP!

The fans fire up as Kyle flounders out of the ring. Brody slashes his throat, builds speed, and DIVES! Direct hit and down goes Kyle! The fans lose their minds, that was literally the biggest tope possible! Brody stands Kyle up, whips him back into barriers, and Kyle takes a seat in the corner. Brody makes sure to position Kyle just right, and CHOPS him again! Brody barks, the fans join in, and Brody gets space. Brody runs in from the ramp, but Kyle jumps at him! Brody caches Kyle with one hand! Brody scoops, but Kyle slips free to POST Brody! And then he RAMS Brody into the barriers! Kyle goes to the apron, takes aim, and he PENALTY KICKS!

Brody staggers and drops to a knee. Kyle goes into the ring and he DIVES! Direct hit and Brody hits barriers hard! The fans fire up while both men are down on the ground! Callis coaches Kyle, St. Paul rallies for Brody, but Brody is dazed while Kyle rolls into the ring. The ring count is already 5 of 10, then 7! Callis wants the count to be faster, but Brody is up at 8! Brody rolls in, but Kyle is up top! Kyle aims and MACHO ELBOWS! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and the fans fire up! Kyle begs that the count was wrong, but no, that was fair. Kyle drags Brody up, reels him in, but Brody fights the suplex! Brody then hits a CORNER EXPLODER!

Kyle sputters and flounders, and Brody stalks him to the apron. Brody drags Kyle up and reels him in, but Kyle fights the lift! Kyle is free to SUPERKICK! And SUPERKICK! But Brody still fireman’s carries! APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!! Both men fall to the floor, the fans lose their minds, and Dynamite goes picture in picture again.

Kyle checks his arms to make sure they’re working, and Brody also stirs. Callis and the ref argue, but there was nothing illegal about what Brody did. The ring count starts, Callis seems to still complain about stuff, and both men are slowly rising at 5 of 10. Brody stands at 7, rolls in, and Kyle stands at 8! Kyle lunges in at 9! The ref checks with Kyle to make sure he’s still in this, and Kyle nods as he slowly sits up. Kyle shakes out the stars going around his head, and Brody hobbles over to him. Brody stands Kyle up, ROCKS him, and Kyle staggers back to the ropes. Brody eggs Kyle on, and Kyle rises back up.

Kyle winds up to ROCK Brody! Brody ROCKS Kyle, and Kyle drops to a knee! Kyle rises to fire another forearm, but there’s far less behind it. Brody ROCKS Kyle again, Dynamite again returns to single picture, and Brody fires more shots! Kyle fires back, the shots pick up speed, and Kyle fires a flurry! But Brody ROCKS him with just one! Kyle swings, Brody SWATS it, but then Kyle BOOTS and SUPERKICKS! Brody ROLLING ELBOWS! Kyle falls, Brody shakes out the stars, and he drags Kyle up to LARIAT! Brody shouts, “He’s Dead!” Brody reels Kyle in, hoists him up, but Kyle slips free to SUPERKICK a leg out!

Kyle BLINDSIDE SUPERKICKS, then he dragon sleepers! Inverted suplex into the gut wrench! TOMBSTONE!! Cover, TWO?!? Brody survives and shocks Kyle! Callis is furious, the ref defends the count, and St. Paul is all fired up! Kyle seethes now, and he aims from the corner. Kyle runs in, but Brody LARIATS again! The fans fire up while Kyle stumbles around on spaghetti legs! Kyle falls over, goes to a corner, but Brody runs up to SPLASH! Kyle sits down, the fans bark with Brody, but Callis gest on the apron! The ref storms up to Callis while Brody runs in at Kyle, but Mark Davis gets Kyle out of harm’s way!

Brody hits buckles, and Kyle smiles! Aussie Open watches each other’s back, and Kyle hurries to get Brody up! The fans boo but Kyle puts Brody on the top rope! Kyle UPPERCUTS Brody, then climbs up after him. But Brody fights the suplex with body shots! Brody SLAPS Kyle, fireman’s carries him, and now Davis distracts the ref! Kyle CLAWS Brody’s eyes, then slips down to GAMANGIRI! The fans boo as Kyle gets Brody back up, TOP ROPE BRAINBUSTER!!! Cover, Kyle wins!!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall

Dunkzilla gave The Protostar the assist, that’s a win for the Callis Family! But then Kyle goes back for more as he stomps and hammers away on Brody! Davis helps out while Callis directs them, but here comes The Powerhouse! Will Hobbs brings the straps down as he enters from the crowd side! The fans fire up as Hobbs rushes the ring! He fires forearms on Davis, and on Kyle! Hobbs DECKS Davis, he DECKS Kyle, and then Brody LARIATS Kyle up and outta the ring! The fans fire up, and Hobbs wants his fight with Davis NOW! Will the Book of Hobbs punctuate this chapter with a win? Or will the Callis Family quickly go 2-0 on the night?

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Mark Davis w/ Don Callis!

Dynamite returns as referees, security, and even Christopher Daniels are keeping Hobbs and Davis apart. It seems that AEW officials still need to work out the change in the schedule, they were hoping to do this match a little later. Meanwhile, Callis is finally on commentary to complain that Hobbs was going to assault him, a non-wrestler. Hobbs and Davis storm into the ring, despite the wishes of the refs and Fallen Angel. But fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Daniels tries to talk Davis and Hobbs down, but Davis and Hobbs just throw security out of the way! Daniels says fine, let’s do it now!

The bell rings, and the fans fire up as DOUBLE LARIATS collide! And again! And again! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Davis kicks low, suplexes high and hard, but Hobbs is right up! Hobbs kicks and suplexes Davis high and hard! Davis goes to ropes, the fans rally as Hobbs seethes, and Hobbs ROCKS Davis! And ROCKS him again! Davis KNEES low, then runs, but Hobbs CLOBBERS Davis at the ropes! Davis goes to a corner, Hobbs storms up, but Davis uses the straps to YANK Hobbs into buckles! The ref reprimands, Davis CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS! Davis scrubs his forearm in Hobbs’ face, then sits him down.

The fans boo but Davis runs side to side, and he SLIDING FOREARMS! Hobbs sputters, Davis drags him up, and Davis reels Hobbs in. But Hobbs BACKDROPS free! The fans fire up and Hobbs snarls again. Hobbs runs corner to corner, but Davis ELBOWS him! Davis runs up, but into the SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and the straps come down! Hobbs runs up to LARIAT! Hobbs then keeps Davis in the corner for “MEAT!” LARIAT after “MEAT!” LARIAT! Hobbs whips corner to corner, but then reels Davis in, but Davis kinda muffles the spinebuster. Hobbs is annoyed and drags Davis up, but Davis ENZIGIRIS!

Davis runs, but Hobbs gets him for a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Hobbs wins!

Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by pinfall

Hobbs just handled town bidness, but Callis says of course Hobbs won, he got the jump on everyone coming in from the crowd! Callis’ excuses aside, Hobbs dunked Dunkzilla, and the Callis Family is 1-1 with one more to go! Will Hobbs finally move on from his past? Or will Callis not rest until the Powerhouse is demolished?

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

Lexy Nair is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & “Mother Shayna,” but Christian Cage is conspicuous by his absence. Lexy specifically wants to ask Nick this: We’ve seen a big shift in Nick’s attitude both back and forth. He confronted Christian Cage on his excuses about Revolution, but then costs Adam Copeland the title last Wednesday. What is going on with The Patriarchy? Nick says things are starting to make sense to him as to why Christian did what he did at Revolution. But he will wait to speak his thoughts for when he and Christian are face-to-face.

As for last Wednesday, that just goes to show what happens when they’re all on the same page. “And how to properly… I repeat, properly execute a plan.” Nick heads out, Mother Shayna smiles and follows, and Kip… Well, he’s quiet but he still follows the Waynes out. Is The Patriarchy’s Prodigy proving he can be the man of the house?

 

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

Renee is with The Cowboy, and notes that last week, he officially entered his name for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. The winner of that tournament will challenge for the AEW World Championship at All In: Texas. Now, AEW is in St. Paul tonight, site of- Oh, wait, Swerve Strickland storms in! He knows he only just recovered from the busted eardrum, but did he just hear right that Hangman wants in on Swerve’s world title? Hangman says, “B*tch, did I stutter?” Swerve tells Hangman to not dare even try it! Swerve will end him and he knows what Swerve is capable of! Prince Nana has Swerve stand down, Swerve has his own business to handle.

Swerve and Nana leave, and Hangman snarls. Will Hangman not only win the Owen Hart Cup this year, but finally take back the AEW World Championship? And will it be Swerve who meets him in Texas?

 

Exclusive sit-down interview with Rated FTR.

It was earlier today that Tony Schiavone sat down with Adam Copeland, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood, and notes that the friendship between these three has been a lot deeper than what we’ve seen on camera. They’re basically next door neighbors, Cope has been responsible for some of FTR’s biggest breaks in their careers. Dax already frowns and shakes his head. Dax apologizes but he wants to interrupt here. He feels that he must address the elephant in the room. Last week, he allowed his emotions to get the better of him. He owes both Adam and Cash an apology for what happened.

Dax just felt that FTR took a break from their goals, their focus, the AEW World Tag Team Championships, for four months, all to help Cope realize his goal of being AEW World Champion. After two tries, it did not happen, which just frustrated Dax. Cope has Dax stop there. The way Dax positioned that, it sounds like Cope is the one who pulled them away from the tag titles. Cope came back to help FTR against the Death Riders after they put bags over FTR’s heads and beat them down. That’s how this all started. It was not Cope’s intention to pull FTR away from anything.

Dax knows, he’s just saying, that’s why he has to apologize. Dax let his emotions get to him, and so he wanted to explain the preface. He just felt that FTR took their eyes off the prize, they were directionless for four months, and it had nothing to do- Cash speaks up now. Cash knows they’ve all let their emotions get the better of them. Cash cannot watch Dax and Cope fight like this while he’s caught in the middle of it. Everyone knows Dax and Cash are best friends, they’ve teamed together for the better part of 11 years. But maybe people don’t know as much about the friendship of Cope and Cash, everything Cope has done for Cash.

Without either of these men, Cash has nothing. When Cash was struggling, nowhere to live, sleeping in his car, Cope gave him a place to live and to be without worry so he could pursue all of this. Cope gave Cash chance after chance, Dax was there for those opportunities, so without either one, Cash doesn’t have this, he isn’t here right now. So he just wants himself and his two best friends to all be on the same page. Dax says t hat’s why he had to apologize. Dax took it too far last week, but he does think that now that they’ve helped Cope realize his goals and done their part, it is time for FTR to get back on theirs.

Dax tells The Hurt Syndicate that the AEW World Tag Team Championships- Cash stops Dax again, and says Cash feels there is still something here. Rated FTR has a lot of life left, and Cash would love if they went after the Trios Championships one more time, to see if they can stop The Death Riders. Cope agrees there. If there’s juice in the tank, then let’s do it. Cope tells The Death Riders, April 6th, Death Riders VS Rated FTR for the Trios Championships. Dax does like the sound of that. #TopGuysOut! Cope adds #RatedFTROut. Cash likes that.

So while Cope could not dethrone Jon Moxley, can he and FTR still free the AEW World Trios Championships? Or will there be no end to the reign of terror?

 

Swerve Strickland heads to the ring!

St. Paul fires up for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve grabs the mic and says, “Everybody knows exactly why I’m here. I’m here to call out Jon Moxley! Not the Death Riders, the AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley. You better get your ass down here right now and look me eye to eye, man to man, if you’ve got the balls to do so!” The fans fire up, the Death Riders’ theme hits, and The Maniac makes his way through the crowd. Swerve keeps his eyes on Moxley as he draws closer. Nana steps out as Moxley steps in, and Swerve tells Moxley, “I’ve been allowing things to go on like this for far too long.”

People have been asking since October as to why Swerve hasn’t been going after his AEW World Championship. Swerve says he likes to give people just enough rope to hang themselves, and that’s Moxley. Swerve tells him, “Look at you. What happened to you? Jon Moxley used to be revered here in AEW! You and the AEW World Championship used to be synonymous with each other. Now look at you. You hide behind Claudio, you hide behind Wheeler Yuta, you hide behind Pac. Hell, you even hide behind Marina Shafir.” The fans start up another chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”

Swerve says Moxley still has the nerve to say no one else wants to be world champion. But Moxley isn’t even worthy of it himself! And to be honest, Swerve thinks the reason Moxley hides the title in the briefcase is because he can’t even look at it. He can’t even face himself with that on his shoulder any more. Swerve says every time Moxley has a title defense, he narrowly escapes. And last week, he showed the world that. Oh, by the way, how’s Moxley’s back feeling? Moxley smirks, and Swerve says everything about Moxley that he used to be, is standing right here looking at him. The fans cheer Swerve on while Moxley nods.

But CLAUDIO IS BEHIND NANA! The fans freak out, and Moxley smirks. Swerve looks over and sees Claudio! Nana still doesn’t notice, but he starts to sense something’s wrong. Moxley says it’s fine, we’re all chill. And that all sounded great, if you believe it. But this isn’t about Moxley, this is about Swerve. April 6th is really Swerve VS Swerve. It isn’t about Moxley, stop worrying about Moxley. Moxley wants Swerve to ask himself, “Who are you, really? What are you really?” Moxley knows. He listens and watches, hears everything and sees everything, so he knows everything. He knows exactly who and what Swerve is, and he knows what Swerve could be.

And damn, has Moxley had high hopes for Swerve. But he has been disappointed before. On April 6th, Moxley gives Swerve a chance to step in and become everything that he can be. He just has to ask himself one question: “How far am I willing to go?” Not tonight, not just April 6th, but every night. When it is cold and dark and you’re in pain and you’re tired. When the world is baring down on your shoulders and you have no friends left. When everyone else is gone and you have the weight of the entire world on your shoulders. Will you endure? Will you put one foot in front of another? Or will you look for a way out? Will you take others with you?

There are a lot of questions Swerve has to ask himself. Swerve is not what he thinks he is, because he has not suffered enough yet! But he will. “My sport has been taken over by billionaires, Hollywood talent agencies and kids who see the world through an Instagram filter and don’t know their head from their ass! It’s guys like you that give me hope for the future. It’s guys like you that make me think everything I’ve put my mind and my body and my soul through was for a reason.” Fans do seem to like that. Moxley says he won’t give it to Swerve, though. He doesn’t care what kind of “punk ass organization they’re running around here.”

Moxley does not give handouts, so how far is Swerve willing to go? Moxley will go the whole way right now! But that shouldn’t be a problem for Swerve, Swerve is the Most Dangerous Man in AEW, right? Moxley and Swerve circle, but that lets Marina Shafir sneak in! BUT WILLOW APPEARS! Marina has a crowbar, Willow has a pipe, so it is a standoff on the apron! Swerve asks Moxley what’s wrong. Is he finally facing off with someone smarter than him? So let’s get this straight: Moxley wants to talk “unscripted violence” BS? Swerve IS violence! Moxley’s bled pints, Swerve’s bled buckets. Moxley’s been in Texas Death Matches, Swerve’s WON them.

Swerve IS the Most Dangerous Man in AEW! “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” “And in Philadelphia in 11 days, I take back that AEW World Championship, and I continue to lead the Dynasty Era! And while I’m doing that, you can have fun continuing to play Jon Moxley on TV.” Mic drop! The fans fire up again as Swerve and Moxley stare down. It is quite the standoff here, so Moxley has the Death Riders stand down. The clock is ticking, are Moxley’s days as champion numbered? Wait, Marina YANKS Willow down! Marina fires off on Willow, but Willow RAMS Marina into the barriers! Claudio gets Marina out of there, Nana tries to help, but Willow shoves Nana aside!

Willow goes after Marina, even as Claudio carries Marina away! The fans fire up but The Death Riders drag Marina back but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Marina is a Problem, but will the Babe with the Power be a problem solver?

 

The Opps commandeer a camera!

Been a minute since this has happened, but Katsuyori Shibata films while he follows Samoa Joe & Hook. Joe asks Hook a question: last week, Hook sunk in that Redrum for a little bit of time. Is there anything behind that? Nah, just having fun. Fun? Hook smirks and says c’mon. It was Max Caster, a super annoying guy, it’s fun to choke him out. Joe says aight. Anyway, look who it is! Caster is trying to convince AR Fox & Top Flight to all go solo like he did. Shibata slips around so we can see Joe & Hook walk up behind Caster. Caster talks trash on Anthony Bowens, how Bowens is doing nothing after The Acclaimed broke up.

Wow, really, Caster? What? The fans are literally chanting his name! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” They don’t believe that for a second. Caster then spots Shibata and asks what’s up. Joe snatches Caster into the COQUINA CLUTCH!! Joe puts Platinum Max right to sleep, and then dusts himself off. And then he tells Hook he gets it now. They shake hands, and Joe says what’s up, hometown boys! The Opps shake hands with Top Flight, and say have a good night. Hook says, “To the death.” Shibata’s text-to-speech says, “I see what you did there.” When Caster wakes up, will he realize he really needs to watch what he says?

 

Backstage interview with Jay White.

Renee is with the Switchblade and says he took a particular interest in Will Ospreay and Hangman Page entering the Men’s Owen Hart Cup. White has history with both men, so where does he stand on this? White says those are some big names. He thinks we should add his name to that, so what better time than now? Jay White officially declares for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Last year didn’t work out too well, White losing to Hangman for the first time ever, mostly thanks to Hangman’s “buddy,” Christian Cage. And then White ended up injured, out for four months.

But this year, White will win the cup, go on to All In: Texas, and once again have a shot at the AEW World Championship! And if Hangman or #BillyGoat are lucky enough to cross paths with The Switchblade, so be it. But before we get there, there are plenty of other players backstage that would love to differ with him. How about one of the ORIGINAL Collision Cowboys return to Collision this Saturday. If there’s someone who thinks they’re more deserving of a spot than White, show up and state your case to The Switchblade. White aims his finger gun, who will accept this Open Challenge?

 

Top Flight w/ AR Fox VS Alex Findley & Devo Knight!

Darius & Dante Martin get a hero’s welcome as the hometown boys for Minnesota! But Lio Rush & Action Andretti are ringside, hoping this homecoming is a horrible one. Will Top Flight win one for Minneapolis? Or will they not like the taste of the Royal Flavuh?

The teams sort out, Darius starts against Devo, and the fans fire up with the bell. Darius and Devo circle, Devo waistlocks but Darius switches to SLAM! Darius then hooks Devo, turns him over to a cover, ONE! Darius spins away from Devo’s sweep, then headlocks. Devo powers up and out, Darius CLOBBERS him, and then brings him up to wrench and CHOP! Devo sputters, but Darius whips him to the corner. We see Big Bill & Bryan Keith are watching this backstage, perhaps scouting a team they can beat to then go after the Hurt Business. Darius runs in at Devo but Devo pops Darius up. Dante tags in, Darius CHOPS Devo, and Dante A-LIST LARIATS!

Darius tags back in, snap suplexes Devo down, then kips up to tag Dante. Dante slingshot SENTONS! The fans fire up but here comes Alex! Dante catches Alex and spins him, Top Flight gives him the LARIAT STO COMBO! Dante TOSSES Alex, then drags Devo up. Devo JAWBREAKERS back, then runs up. Dante ducks the lariat to waistlock, but Devo elbows him away. Dante goes to the ropes, Devo runs up, btu Dante ELBOWS him! Tag to Darius, then Dante goes up and over! Dante eggs Devo on, then blocks his shot for a JAWBREAKER of his own! Darius runs up to DECK Devo, then he BLASTS Alex!

Darius fires haymaker after haymaker on Devo, then whips. Devo reverses, but Darius gets under to atomic drop! Not the cleanest, but Darius hurries to BULLDOG HOTSHOT, and GAMANGIRI! The fans fire up for Darius as he steps in, COMPLETE SHOT! Alex hurries in and he breaks the cover! Dante whips Alex, Alex reverses, but then Dante slips outside! Alex hits buckles, Dante goes up and around to GAMANGIRI! Then springboard and CROSSBODY! The fans are fired up again, and Darius CHOPS Devo. Darius whips but Devo reverses. Devo runs up but Darius BOOTS him down! Tag to Dante and Darius SUPERKICKS Devo!

Dante SHOTGUNS Devo into the GERMAN SUPLEX from Darius! Devo flounders, Darius brings him up again. Dante climbs, Darius hits a SHELL SHOCK, then Dante hits the MAMBA SPLASH! Cover, Top Flight wins!

Winners: Top Flight, by pinfall

A great win for the hometown heroes, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan! Top Flight will face Bill & Keith for Collision in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Will The Redwood & Bad Apple sour things for Top Flight to then have their shot at the Hurt Syndicate? As for The Cru, they bark at Top Flight, still wanting their own fight. Will Darius & Dante give Lio & Action more than they bargained for in the near future?

 

Will Ospreay speaks.

“Ever since I came into AEW, the game has dramatically changed. It is time for me to move AEW into a new generation. Tony Khan is looking for the best in the world, and there’s only one person that fits that criteria, and it’s me. When you hear, ‘This is where the best wrestles,’ nah, bruv. This is where Billy wrestles. This is about restoring the feeling, and bruv, I AM the feeling!” The Aerial Assassin will return to Dynamite next week in Peoria, Illinois, but how will he sharpen that edge before the Owen Hart Tournament begins?

 

Mark Briscoe VS Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis!

The Sussex County Chicken fought alongside Will Hobbs against The Don Callis Family last week, but it was the Alpha that ate. Will the NEVER Openweight Champion make sure the Callis Family ends tonight up 2-1? Or will Briscoe #ManUp and have some redemption?

The bell rings and the fans rally for Briscoe. Callis claims he wasn’t going to come out again, but he was listening to Schiavone’s commentary and felt he was struggling so he’s here to help. The fans just tell Callis off again while Briscoe and Konosuke circle. The two feel things out, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Konosuke powers up and out, then RAMS shoulders! Briscoe stays up, Konosuke staggers back, but he runs Mark over on the rebound! The fans boo but Konosuke keeps moving. Mark stays low, Konosuke rolls over the dropdown, but then Briscoe runs, dodges, and ducks the boot! Briscoe hits the crane stance, then ducks Konosuke’s haymaker!

REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUT! The fans fire up as Callis talks trash on Briscoe being bald and having missing teeth. Schiavone points out the only difference between Briscoe and Callis are the teeth. Briscoe runs but Konosuke BACKDROPS him, only for Briscoe to land on his feet! Konosuke waistlocks, Briscoe breaks free and PELES!

The Death Riders speak.

Wheeler Yuta says, “Rated FTR wants to challenge us to a World Trios Championship match at Dynasty. Dax & Cash, I already hate your guts. But Cope, you’re the most sinister of all. You tried to rip me away from my family. You tried to manipulate me! My family is much stronger than yours.” Claudio tells Rated FTR, “You guys are pathetic. The going gets tough, you bicker and start throwing hissy fits. Is this Kindergarten?” Pac says, “Gentlemen, it’s your arrogance, it’s your cockiness, that we really find hard to stomach. You see, after everything that you’ve done to us in previous weeks, it is you who has the audacity to challenge us?

“Nah. That’s not how things work around here. At AEW Dynasty, it is we that challenge you! We challenge you to survive the Death Riders.” The Decoder, the Swiss Cyborg & the Bastard have given their answer, will no one stop the Death Riders from building their Dynasty?

 

Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.

Alicia Atout caches up with MVP, Lashley & Shelton and wants to ask them about MJF. Is he in or is he out? Lashley asks for just a moment, please. Alicia steps aside, and Lashley says MVP told them to take a vacation, and then they see MVP hugging it out with MJF?! What’s that about? MVP wants them to understand. After that performance at Revolution, they earned that time off. MVP doesn’t get time off, he had to come to work, because business never stops, money never sleeps. Now, they’ve been talking about adding a fourth member for some time, and MVP made MJF an offer. What’s the problem?

So MVP likes MJF? Yeah. Okay, but this is MJF. The kid’s got a reputation. Shelton & Lashley don’t like it. MJF is grimy, slimy, and not to be trusted. Everyone says that about him. MVP says yeah, MJF has some reprehensible qualities. And that’s why MVP likes him! Those qualities could be good for their business. Now, they’re the Hurt Syndicate. If they really don’t want MJF in, MVP respects the dynamic, they can revisit this. But right now, let’s focus on the Big Bill situation. Are they all on the same page there? Call it. Let’s hurt people. The Syndicate heads out, but will they accept the Scumbag into the fold? Or will they find someone more suited to their business plans?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

With the trios title set for Dynasty, The Death Riders and Rated FTR send one man each for a showdown! Wheeler Yuta takes on Dax Harwood, will The Decoder be chopped down by Dax The Ax? Plus, while The CEO is looking for new challengers, she will step back into the ring for some action. Who will try and stop the Money Train in Milwaukee? Then, Jamie Hayter makes her own in-ring return and takes on Queen Aminata! Will Hayter still hit hard? Or will Aminata redeem herself from losing to Julia Hart?

And then, Jay White’s open challenge has already been answered as Kevin Knight makes his Collision debut! The Jet is ready to fly high in AEW, but will he learn to Breathe with the Switchblade?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

As AEW rolls into Peoria, Swerve will be rolling into the ring alongside Willow Nightingale as they take on Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir in a Mixed Tag Match! Will the Most Dangerous Man and the Babe with the Power overwhelm the Death Riders? Or will Marina continue to be a Problem?

What a shocker! The Megasus just pinned the AEW Women’s World Champion! Ford celebrates with Megan, will the AEW Women’s World Championship soon belong to them?


My Thoughts:

A great episode of Dynamite, really jampacked, but also maybe a little too packed? I believe the vast majority of the women’s tag match main event was in the overrun. I know this is all live TV and TNT/TBS lets them have the overrun, but clearly something went way too long if the main event is right before the two hour mark. That aside, still a great main event that also had a great promo from ThunderStorm/Thunder Tits. I knew it’d been a long time since Thunder & Storm were on the same side, but I didn’t realize it’d already been three YEARS. Either way, Megan winning here makes sense, Toni is logically the underdog champion. This is very much Toni’s Rocky VS Drago in Rocky 4, and I’m sure Toni will persevere and win just like Rocky Balboa.

Very good opening match from Omega VS Blake, but of course Omega was winning. I’m unsure why Lee Johnson is suddenly Blake Christian’s pal. Did something happen to the #LEEJ team-up with EJ Nduka? But good promos from Omega, Bailey and Ricochet to hype up their Triple Threat, and we’ve still got the go-homes to go, who knows who wins at Dynasty. Good promo from Jericho to call out Bandido while also talking down to Bill & Keith. I suppose I should’ve foreseen Jericho wanting Title VS Mask as the blowoff, that’s not a bad choice. But then all the more reason Bandido wins the title and sends Jericho off into a spiral where he gets mad at Bill & Keith more.

That said, Bill & Keith confronting The Hurt Syndicate is a bold move. MVP logically gives him the same deal he gave The Outrunners and The Murder Machines, and while Top Flight is good, I would think The Cru costs Dante & Darius their match this Saturday. Good win for Top Flight here in their home state, though it was of course against jobbers. Their segment with Fox, Caster and The Opps was really good stuff, too. I wonder if Caster calls out Joe as if he even stands a chance, all because of his arrogance as the self-proclaimed Best Wrestler Alive. Still waiting on Bowens to return and challenge Caster.

Back to the Hurt Syndicate, I’m intrigued with how they didn’t outright accept nor reject MJF. MVP wants to give MJF a chance, maybe something happens closer to Dynasty, and I’m not even really sure which works out better. Jay White had a good promo to declare for the Owen Hart Cup, and he’ll have a great match against Kevin Knight this Saturday. Swerve confronting Hangman before then confronting Moxley was good stuff. I’m sure I’ve said something like this before, but while Moxley always gets his promos out, he needs to get it out in more concise ways. The fans in St. Paul certainly weren’t in the mood for Moxley to monologue again. But they perfectly had that chess game going, with Claudio checking Nana while Willow checked Marina. That Mixed Tag will be a lot of fun.

Very good promo from Nick Wayne, but here’s hoping TK writes Patriarchy’s story right. Nick Wayne is making it sound like he’s siding with Christian, but since Nick wants to wait to share his thoughts, he must surely be waiting to turn on Christian. It needs to happen, we can’t have Nick going Stockholm Syndrome like Yuta did with Death Riders. Very good promo from Death Riders to call out Rated FTR, and Rated FTR had a very good promo of their own. Dax was rather passive aggressive about not becoming tag champs again while helping Cope fight the Death Riders, so I feel like the trios title causes FTR to turn on Cope.

The Don Callis Family sure did a lot tonight, and gave us three great matches. It makes sense the Callis Family went 2-1. Kyle beating Brody was fine, Kyle needed to rebound. But he didn’t give us an answer on what’s next for him like he promised on Collision. And where was Okada to harp on Brody King losing to him? Maybe that happens on Collision this week. Hobbs being the one loss the DCF took also makes sense, as Hobbs might still be feuding with them to get through all their ranks and build momentum towards a title. Konosuke VS Briscoe was awesome, and a great win for Konosuke given he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion. I wonder if Hobbs and Konosuke also get in on the Owen Hart Cup…

My Score: 8.9/10

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!

Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles.

Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!

The trios sort out, and The Decoder starts against Darius Martin. The fans rally up as the bell rings. Yuta and Darius circle, tie up, and Yuta wrenches to a hammerlock. Darius reaches back to headlock, then he chinbars into a cravat. Yuta spins through to trip Darius and has a toehold. Darius endures while fans rally. Darius turns over, reels Yuta in and headlocks back. Yuta brings Darius to his knees, then waistlocks. Darius switches and SLAMS Yuta, then floats to turn Yuta over for a cover. ONE, and Darius avoids a leg sweep to headlock. Yuta powers up and out, Darius goes up and over, then Darius arm-drags Yuta!

Darius SOBATS, Dante sweeps, and Darius DOUBLE STOMPS! Dante covers, ONE, but Dante wrenches to wristlock. Yuta pulls hair to put Dante in the corner, and Claudio tags in. The Swiss Cyborg stomps Dante, the fans boo, but Claudio waistlocks. Dante switches and hops on for a SLEEPER! Claudio powers up and out, but Dante sunset flips! Claudio flails to stay up, and he drags Dante right up to his feet! Dante dodges, and he fires forearms!

Dante fires more shots but Claudio shoves him away. Dante dodges, ROCKS Claudio, but Claudio returns to CLOBBER Dante! The fans are torn but Pac applauds. Claudio fires body shots, then UPPERCUTS. Claudio pie faces Dante, whips corner to corner hard, then runs up, but into a BOOT! Claudio just comes back, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI! Dante goes up and up and RANA! Not the cleanest but Claudio still tumbles out. Claudio hurries back in, tag to Pac. Pac RAMS Dante, then slingshots up and over. Pac keeps moving, but Dante CLOBBERS him! Tag to Fox and he LARIATS Pac! And goes Matrix to then PELE!

The fans fire up for Fox and he has Pac. Fox whips, Pac reverses, but Fox stops himself. Yuta runs up but Fox TOSSES him! Pac runs up, Fox puts him on the apron and sweeps the legs. Pac is on the apron, Fox builds speed, just to slingshot STOMP Pac on the apron! Then he CANNONBALLS Yuta! But Claudio runs up to BOOT Fox down! The fans boo, Top Flight protests, but Claudio deadlifts Fox into the ring! Pac storms in and stomps Fox around. Pac drags Fox up, bumps him off buckles hard, then tags Claudio. They mug Fox, Claudio ROCKS Fox, and then drags Fox up. Fox tries to power forward but Claudio keeps him back!

Claudio powers Fox back, he tags Yuta in, and they mug Fox more. Yuta stands Fox up to reel him in, and he snap suplexes! Cover, ONE!! Fox stays in this but Yuta stays on him. Fox JAWBREAKERS free, goes Matrix again, hot tag to Darius! Darius CLOBBERS Yuta, BLASTS Pac, then BOOTS Yuta! Darius keeps moving, HOTSHOT BULLDOG DROPKICK COMBO! Then Darius GAMANGIRIS Yuta, steps in and COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Claudio breaks it! Dante CANNONBALLS Claudio! Pac TOSSES Dante out, the ref reprimands him, but that lets Yuta CLAW Darius’ eyes! The fans boo but Yuta hits a PAIN THRILLER! Cover, TWO!

Yuta is annoyed but he keeps Darius down with a wristlock, and mockingly claps hands, while Collision goes picture in picture.

Yuta drags Darius up, bumps him off buckles, then tags Pac. Pac stomps Darius down, kicks him around, then kicks Darius in the side! Pac stays between Darius and his team, taunts him, but Darius fires body shots. Darius UPPERCUTS, but Pac KICKS him down! Pac taunts the fans, then brings him up.

BREAKING NEWS for April!

Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!

 

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.

Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”

Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”

Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?

 

Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.

Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?

 

Bandido VS Johnny TV!

The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?

Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.

Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.

Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!

Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.

Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!

Winner: Bandido, by pinfall

The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.

“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.

But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!

Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?

 

Megan Bayne speaks.

“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”

Toni Storm speaks.

“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?

 

Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!

Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?

The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!

Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!

Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall

Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?

 

Backstage interview with Don Callis.

Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”

But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!

So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?

And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!

 

Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!

This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?

The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-

NO, Mortos stops the ride to chicken wing Hologram! But Hologram victory rolls through, TWO! Mortos has it, TWO! Both men stand, Hologram rolls Mortos but Mortos powers through to a cover, ONE! They both stand, Mortos HEADBUTTS Hologram down! The fans fire up, then Mortos runs to sunset flip! Hologram rolls through, Komander tags in, and Komander springboards to SPLASH! Komander bounces off the cover, comes back and tilt-o-whirl RANAAS! Mortos flounders away, Dralistico tags in. Mortos BOOTS Komander, Dralistico springboards but Komander dodges. Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!

Dralistico runs back in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Harley says this is “Luchamazing!” Dralistico fires up, runs up, but Komander blocks! Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend. Harley says she forgot, but she’s gotta go, she’ll be back. Harley hops off commentary, who is she going to call?

Komander puts Dralistico on the apron but Dralistico mule kicks Hologram! Dralistico dodges Komander’s tiger feint kick, and Komander ends up on the apron. Mortos runs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up! Fans lose their minds, Harley scampers off, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Mortos drags Hologram up, SMACKS him back down, and Dralistico sends Komander into railing! Then Dralistico drags Komander up, RAILING BACKBREAKER! Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref. Dralistico then drags Komander up, brings him around, and whips him to ropes. Dralistico ELBOWS Komander down, tags in Mortos, and Mortos fires up. Mortos NECK TWISTS Komander! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!

Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!

Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here! And suspiciously wearing gear just like Harley’s. Dralistico TOSSES Hologram in just for fun, then stands him up to CHOP! Dralistico runs at Komander in the other corner, but Komander breaks free! Slam Dunk Sunday returns to single picture as Dralistico hits buckles! Hologram runs in and LARIATS! Komander SUPERKICKS! Komander feeds Dralistico to Hologram’s SPANISH FLY!

Hologram DIVES, direct hit on Mortos and they go all the way to the ramp! The fans are thunderous and Hologram hurries to get Mortos in the ring. Fans hope these teams “FIGHT FOREVER!” but Komander goes up, CIELITO LINDO!

Hologram is back in, he hooks Mortos up and rolls, GHOST PIN! Dralistico barrels in and breaks it! The fans rally, Harley-gram joins in with Abrahantes, and we get hot tags to Komander and Dralistico! Komander goes up, Dralistico ROCKS him first! Dralistico climbs up after Komander, fires shots, but Komander fires back! They go back and forth, even with CHOPS! Dralistico fires HEADBUTT after HEADBUTT, then brings Komander up! SUPER- NO, Komander slips free and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up again as Komander roars! Komander runs and goes up, up, and SUPER POISON-RANAS!! The fans are thunderous again, but Mortos scoops Komander!

Mortos hits the BEAST BREAKER!! Then he runs to FLYING ELBOW! Hologram runs in and goes up, then up to POISON-RANA! But Dralistico FLYING CRUCIFIX DRIVERS!! Komander is back to fire hands with Dralistico, and we get DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES!! Both men fall, but Komander falls onto Dralistico! Cover, TWO!! Dralistico survives and Omaha is electric!

Komander runs the tightrope! SALUTE MOONSAULT!! Direct hit on LFI and Omaha is thunderous again! Komander puts Dralistico in, Hologram is back up! Torture rack for the PORTAL BOMB!! And then CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, TITANES WIN!!

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall

A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?


My Thoughts:

A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.

Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.

And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.

My Score: 8.8/10
