Damage Control arrives in a limousine!
Bayley, Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky are riding in style, and they’re ready to party! Will the DMG CTRL Championship Celebration be one to remember?
Damage Control heads to the ring!
And they ride in on a tricked out golf cart! They even get pyro and streamers! Bayley drives the cart down to ringside and takes a victory lap before parking. The balloons are on the corner posts as Bayley, Kai & Sky step inside the ring. Then there’s more streamers! DMG CTRL all get mics, and fans boo. Bayley says, “Uh, ding dong, San Jose! That’s right, your Bay Area Hero is here! So I thought we could do a little homecoming celebration together. Yeah? Uh, but don’t worry, I’m not talking about you guys. When I say ‘we,’ I mean me, Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky, your NEW WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions of the World!”
Fans boo but Bayley says she doesn’t appreciate that. Show respect because you’re in the presence of champions, since the Sharks can’t get it done! Fans boo more but Iyo says they are in control now! And it’s all thanks to Bayley! Thank you so much, Role Model! Aw, don’t thank her. Bayley thanks Kai & Sky for believing in her vision. Kai says they needed each other. The division needed them. But who do they not need? Asuka, Alexa and the current Raw Women’s Champion, Bianca Belair. Let’s face it, they were once the faces of this division. But now, they are in control of NOTHING! “What?” Of nothing!
Asuka was once a fearless warrior, while Alexa walks around like she got a lobotomy during therapy! And for 300+ days, Bianca has phoned it in because she forgot what it’s like to be pinned. Until Bayley came back! She did do that! And now there’s nothing left for those three to do except pack up and go home. But wait! Here comes the RawEST Women’s Champion, as well as Alexa and Asuka! Bianca says they weren’t intending on crashing the party, but then DMG CTRL had to go and run their mouths again. Bianca can’t let them disrespect her and the others like that. So now, they’ll have to teach DMG CTRL some respect!
Whoa whoa, hey! Does Bianca have no patience? This is why the division spiraled out of control! Bianca is too impulsive. She needs to see things like Bayley! See the long game, the big picture! Bayley said that next time, they’d fight when Bayley decides. And that’s not right now. So what’re Alexa & Asuka here for? Bianca has enough accessories, from her stupid ponytail to her earrings, but Alexa & Asuka don’t really fit the picture anymore. Alexa says Bayley’s standing out here like she’s 10 feet tall. But keep talking, and Bianca’s gonna become an accessory to what Alexa does to Bayley. Oooh~!
Bayley thought Alexa’s only friend, Lilly, was the one that bites. But Alexa used to make Bayley’s life a living hell. That was back in the day. Who is this? This is a shell of the old Alexa. Aw, Bayley. Alexa would love to torment Bayley again. So how about tonight? Bayley VS Bliss! Fans cheer for that, and Alexa says yes, Lily does bite. And so does Alexa. DMG CTRL backs out of the ring, but then Bayley rushes in! Alexa DECKS her! Alexa fires off, Kai & Sky get Bayley outta there, and there’s no more celebrating! Will the Role Model lead by example and take on the Five Foot Fury?

Johnny Wrestling made sure Theory didn’t cheat, so that’s why Theory lost! Gargano gets in the ring to return the briefcase, by dropping it on Theory’s junk! Will Theory have to settle things with Gargano before he can find his way?
Backstage interview with Matt Riddle.
Kevin Patrick says Riddle “arguably” cost Rollins the WWE United States Championship. Riddle says damn right! It was time for some payback, and that’s just a taste. If Rollins thinks this is over, it’s just beginning. Riddle will hunt Rollins down until he gets that rematch. Well, Riddle’s also teaming with Rey Mysterio against The Judgement Day, what’s his mindset going into that match? There’s one thing Riddle knows about and that’s sweet vengeance. He’s helping Rey against Judgement Day. Finn & Damian used to be cool dudes, but now they’re like those goth kids from South Park, always talking about joining a cult or something while ruining legends’ careers.
So since Rey helped Riddle last week, Riddle’s returning the favor, and they’ll both get that sweet vengeance on Damian & Finn, bro. Later, dude! Will the Stallion and the King of Lucha be able to get some of that payback on Priest & The Prince?

Backstage interview with Rey Mysterio.
Sarah asks the King of Lucha if there’s any updates on Edge after the gruesome beat down from the Judgement Day? And also, has there been any reconciliation between Rey and his son, Dominik? Rey can’t help but think that if he only knew the resentment Dom was keeping inside, he could’ve stopped this. His own son won’t even speak to him now. “Edge might be sidelined for now, but he’s not out of the fight. And there’s nothing that can hold him down for long. I just truly hope that my son will find a way back to our family.” Rey won’t give up. He’ll never give up!
Dominik, Rey knows you’re listening. Rey wants Dom to know that everything he’s done in this life was for Dom. To provide Dom a life Rey never had growing up, and the opportunities that Rey only dreamt of, and a legacy for Dom to carry on! Only if Dom wanted to. Rey can’t say the same for Finn & Damian. Riddle says it’s okay, they’ll take out those greasy slime bags. You ready to drop the hammer of justice on Judgement Day? Rey’s ready. The King and the Bro head out, will they be the ones passing judgement on the Prince and the Punisher?
The Alpha Academy confront Johnny Gargano.
Chas Gable says, “Well, well, well. If it isn’t Johnny SHOOSH!” Gargano wants them to get out of his face, but Gable says hold on. They saw that “pathetic little display out there.” That cost their friend, Theory, his match! That doesn’t bode well with them. Gargano is new around here, so Gable will give him a free lesson. That was the biggest mistake of Gargano’s short career. Because Gargano doesn’t have what Theory has! And what’s that? “Strength in numbers, baby!” When you mess with Theory, you mess with the Academy! But then Kevin Owens walks in. Is there a problem here? Oh, there’s a problem. Is there a problem? Yes, there’s a problem.
Gable says of course there’s a problem! A big one! But it’s with Gargano, not Kevin. Well see, earlier, Gargano had Kevin’s back, so if you have a problem with him, you’ve got a problem with Kevin. True, it did take both of them to get the best on Theory. So maybe we can even the odd. A tag match, Kevin & “Ugh, Johnny Wrestling” VS The Academy! Next week on Raw! Are they seriously challenging Kevin & Johnny to a match? That’s great! Because Gable made an Open Challenge a few weeks ago, and Kevin answered it. And Kevin won! Where was that? In Toronto, Canada! And Kevin realized, he loved beating the hell out of Gable in his home country!
Oh, where is Raw going next week? Canada! So there we go! Gable wants to skip next week, they’ll be in Minnesota then! No, Gable said next week so they’re doing it next week! Kevin & Johnny VS Alpha Academy, done deal! Anything else to add? Yeah- SHOOOOSH~! Gable is upset that they got him with his own thing! Will Gable regret getting involved with Theory’s business?
Rey Mysterio & Matt Riddle VS Finn Balor & Damian Priest w/ Judgement Day!
The King of Lucha thought he knew his son, but it seems there was a darkness lurking below the surface that “Papi” Rhea exploited. And then, the Prince & the Punisher tried to recruit the Stallion, but the Bro said hell no. Will the darkness grow and swallow Rey & Riddle whole? Or can they show Dom the light in this fight?
Before the match, the Judgement Day get the mics and fans boo. Rhea laughs and tells them all to settle down. “Last week, we took out everyone that was in front of us. And proved to every single one of you, once again, that The Judgement Day, we run Monday Night Raw.” Priest laughs and Rhea says now, with Dominik by their side, no one can stop them. Especially now that he’s a man! Finn says Rhea’s right, Dom is a man! A brave man! Finn said before that it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your father! And that is what Dom’s done!
Priest says, “Dominik Mysterio. Way to go, brother. Love this guy.” This is a man who no longer walks in someone’s shadow. Dom is a man willing to fight his own battles and proved it when he faced Edge 1v1! And if you need a reminder of how that went, well, Dom is standing here, and Edge ain’t standing at all! Edge is probably sitting on his “mountain of omnipotence.” Rhea never understood what that was. Priest says no one did! But Edge is sitting there, beat up, sad and injured. Aww~, boo hoo~! Rhea then tells Dom that Papi is very proud of him. Dom thanks Rhea for that. Fans boo but Rhea laughs it off. Boo all you like, Dom is going to talk!
Finn says pipe down! Dom’s got something to say! Just ignore them, mate. This is Dominik Mysterio, so shut your mouths and show respect! Dom says, “Like I was saying…” The boos get louder! Dom is amused almost. Dom again thanks Rhea, he is also very proud of himself. Say it louder for the people in the back! Dom says he couldn’t be prouder to be standing alongside his NEW family, his REAL family, the Judgement Day. Finn says that is beautiful. They’re having a moment here! They need to capture the moment with a family portrait! Someone take a picture! The four pose for the cameras and smile. Yeah, they’re having such a great time! Are the fans having a good time?
“Bro…” Riddle finally makes his entrance! Then Rey makes his entrance, and the two go to the ring. Did Dom’s words get in Rey’s head? We’ll find out, after the break.
Raw returns and Riddle starts against Finn. The bell rings, the two circle and tie up. They go around, Finn waistlocks, throws body shots, then he bumps Riddle off buckles.

Priest TOSSES Riddle to a corner and ROCKS him! And HEADBUTTS him! Priest bumps Riddle off buckles, tags Finn, and they mug Riddle. Finn bumps Riddle off more buckles, CHOPS him, then digs forearms into Riddle’s face. Finn whips corner to corner but Riddle goes up and over to KICK Finn down!

Rey throws forearms then whips but Finn reverses. Rey KICKS Finn, tilt-o-whirls and RANAS! Priest tags in but Rey dodges to KICK and throw hands! Rey runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but leaps into Priest’s arms! Priest pops Rey up but Rey slips off, only to run into a LARIAT! Rhea is laughing and Dom is applauding as Priest soaks up the heat.

Finn ROCKS Rey with a right, whips him to ropes, but Rey ducks ‘n’ dodges to springboard CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Finn calls to Priest but Priest is down! Rey CLOBBERS Finn in the corner, climbs up and he rains down rights! Dom glares at Rey and that distracts him, Finn TRIPS Rey up! Fans boo but Finn snarls as he drags Rey into the dragon sleeper!

Priest drags Rey out but Riddle goes the apron, PENALTY KCIK! SPRINGBOARD FLOATING BRO! Priest is sent into the desk again! Rey RANAS Finn onto ropes! Dial it up again, 619!! Direct hit and fans are thunderous! Rey goes up top, gives us some real Latino Heat, but Rhea distracts! The ref stops her, but Rollins CLOBBERS Riddle!! Payback for earlier! Rollins grabs a chair and he aims at Riddle! Rey stops Rollins and runs him off! Rey checks on Riddle, but then Dom and Rey stare down. Dom dares Rey to hit him! Fans boo, and Rey looks conflicted. But he can’t do that, that’s his son! Rey gets in the ring and Finn hits a SLINGBLADE!
Finn calls out, Priest tags in! Priest drags Rey up with a choke grip! SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Tag back to Finn and he goes up for the COUP DE GRACE!! Cover, Judgement Day wins!
Winners: Finn Balor & Damian Priest, by pinfall
Rollins gets some semblance of revenge on Riddle, but even without that, Dom causing Rey turmoil was enough to tip the scales. Will Judgement Day continue to DOM-inate Raw?
Raw returns and Riddle found Rollins backstage!
And yes, they’re BRAWLING! Security and staff try to separate them but that’s easier said than done! Riddle wants a fight! Rollins says fine !Name the time and the place and Rollins will wreck him! Then it’ll be at Extreme Rules! IN THE FIGHT PIT!! Rollins says you’re on! He’ll wreck Riddle in his own backyard! Riddle’s dead!! Will the Architect have a plan for dropping into the pit? Or will Riddle use this to settle things once and for all?
The Miz and Tommaso Ciampa are in the ring.
The Hollywood A-Lister has a mic to welcome us to the Most Must-See WWE Talk Show, MizTV! Last Raw, Miz was not live or present, because he has been a victim of a deranged madman! It is one thing to attack Miz and cost him the US Championship. But “he” crossed the line when he stepped foot into Miz’s home! Miz looked at his security footage, and what kind of lunatic breaks into your home and draws a picture of your family, then puts it on the coffee table and leaves?! Miz doesn’t care if Lumis was in there for an hour, minute or second, you do NOT step into his home uninvited! Miz is sick of feeling this way, always looking over his shoulder!
Just two days ago, Miz was celebrating Madison’s third birthday. And it was a Minions themed party! Miz couldn’t help but look at all the Minions there, thinking “he” was inside one of those costumes. Miz ended up punching a Minion in the face! All the kids screamed, “You hurt Stewart!” Miz is going crazy! And all anyone can say is, “What did he do to you?” That’s not the question you should be asking! The question is why?! Why Miz?! So Miz wants “him” to come out here NOW, man-to-man, face-to-face. What does he say? Miz and Ciampa wait, but there’s no response. Except for fans chanting, “TINY BALLS!”
Miz says that’s what he thought. C’mon, Lumis, this is the platform you wanted! Wait, what’s that knife poking out from the ring mat?! Lumis is cutting a hole in the ring! Miz asks what Lumis is waiting for, but Corey Graves tries to warn Miz from commentary! Maybe Lumis isn’t a madman. He’s just a weak-minded sociopath, and the next time Miz sees him, Miz will kick his ass! Miz turns around, but he doesn’t see the hole! Fans keep taunting Miz, and Lumis emerges! NOW Miz sees it! Lumis grabs Miz and Miz grabs chairs, but that doesn’t stop Lumis! Ciampa grab sMiz and drags him back out! So Lumis grabs Ciampa! Ciampa CLOCKS Lumis with a mic!
Lumis drops down the hole, but is he out cold? Miz looks at the hole, and Lumis pops up like a demented gopher! Miz and Ciampa scramble out of the ring, and Lumis slips back down below. This only leaves us with more questions than answers. What will it take to get to the bottom of Lumis’s Miz obsession?
The Judgement Day feel great backstage.
Kevin Patrick walks over to say they’ve torn apart the Mysterio Family, put Edge on the shelf, and after tonight’s victory, what’s next? Rhea say sit is time to celebrate! Right, Dom? Dom isn’t sure. He should go check on his dad. NOT!! HAHA! Priest, Dom’s heard the stories. Let’s go and celebrate. Dom’s got a new mami now. And Mami knows best. Priest says his old bro, Riddle, didn’t get enough of an ass kicking tonight, so next week, Priest will give it to him one more time. Now, enough about the losers. Let’s party! The Judgement Day heads out, but when they turn the corner, Finn spots something. He says he’ll handle this one alone.
It’s AJ STYLES! Finn walks up to his old club mate, and Finn asks Styles if he’s “fabing” Finn or something. No, man, they haven’t spoken because Finn joined Judgement Day and betrayed Styles. But now they have talked, so that’s done. Finn won’t let Styles leave. Only one of those things is true. Yes, Finn joined Judgement Day, but he never turned on Styles. Has there ever been one moment in all the time they’ve known each other that Finn did not have Styles’ back? No, Styles admits, they’ve had each other’s backs. So what? If Styles joins Finn in Judgement Day, he has to turn his back on those he loves the most, just like Dom? Styles wants NO part of Judgement Day.
C’mon, AJ! It’s Finn! How long have they known each other? Finn is looking for a friend but Styles is looking for a fight. Is Styles looking for a fight? The two stare down, but Finn says nah, that can’t be. They’re buds! Finn hugs Styles, but he tells Styles that the offer still stands. Too Sweet? Finn heads out, but what will Styles do about this?
Bayley w/ Damage Control VS Alexa Bliss w/ Bianca Belair & Asuka!
The Role Model helped Kai & Sky get the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, and though she wants the Raw Women’s Championship, she’ll do it on her time. But speaking of time, will Lil’ Miss Bliss turn back time and remind Bayley of the old days? Or will this Bayley beat this Bliss?
Raw returns and the bell rings on the main event. Bayley and Alexa stare down then slowly circle. Their allies rally for them, the two tie up and Alexa gets around to hop on for a SLEEPER!

Alexa is still in this and she bails out to the apron. Sky mocks her again and Bayley grins as she stalks Alexa. Bayley brings Alexa around to SMACK her off the desk! Bayley then clears off the desk, props the hood against the apron, and she puts Alexa on the desk. Bayley DECKS Alexa, grabs the bad leg, but Alexa boots her away!

I get what I want, when I want! And I want the Raw Women’s title at Extreme Rules!”
The Role Model finally names the time and place! Will DMG CTRL soon control all of Raw? Or can Bianca go to the extreme to hold onto the title?
My Thoughts:
A great Raw to really heat things up for Extreme Rules. For one, we got really good stuff for the Raw Women’s Championship story. Bayley and Alexa referencing their history without going too into detail was good stuff, and they had a very good main event match. Naturally, shenanigans help Bayley win, and naturally she wants the Raw Women’s title at Extreme Rules. That is going to be a great match, and honestly, could go either way because it’s Bayley with back-up. At the same time, Kai & Sky might be busy with a tag title match for Extreme Rules between either Asuka & Alexa or Raquel & Shotzi, or maybe even both, and that’d be a lot of fun.
I loved how that MizTV segment went. It has been a long time since someone busted out from under through the ring, and I love that Lumis got to do it. Miz VS Lumis 1v1 might be where we go for Extreme Rules, but I still want this to evolve into a Mixed Tag story for Indi Hartwell’s call-up. Great surprise appearance by the Brawling Brutes, great match with the Street Profits, and a great win for the Brutes, but of course that was going to happen. Ridge & Dunne have momentum going into their tag title match, but that is because they’re going to lose. The Usos probably aren’t losing those belts until we have the moment the Bloodline turns on Sami so we can finally have Sami & Kevin Owens as tag champions.
Speaking of, great stuff from Kevin Owens VS Austin Theory Round 2. Gargano keeping Theory from cheating with the briefcase was good stuff, and we got good stuff from Gargano, Kevin and Alpha Academy. Their tag match is going to be really fun, but I would think Theory interferes in return to set up Theory VS Gargano. Lashley VS Rollins was an awesome opener, and it was opener mostly so it had time to breathe and really be a great match worthy of those two guys. Riddle making sure Rollins didn’t win by cheating was a good touch for their story, as their rivalry doesn’t need a title.
And great story integration as Rollins gets involved with Riddle during the Judgement Day tag match. Rollins VS Riddle in the Fight Pit is going to be awesome! On the day where the news breaks that Survivor Series will feature WARGAMES matches, it is great that HHH wants to bring an NXT original idea to the main roster. Great promo stuff out of the Judgement Day, too, and wow does Dom have heat with the fans. They booed SO hard. But we got a great match, and of course with Rhea, Dom and Rollins all playing a part, Judgement Day wins. I like that they’re bringing back some of Priest’s “party boy” persona from NXT, you can be sure that’s also HHH.
And not to heap too much praise onto HHH, but I can’t help it, he finally gave us the kind of interaction between Finn and Styles that I for one have been wanting. They didn’t need to say “Bullet Club” but the Too Sweet was of course a good touch. Just as Rey is trying to redeem Dom, Styles could try to redeem Finn, who knows how things go, but we’re going to get awesome stuff. We definitely need Finn VS Styles 1v1 to happen, and maybe when they decide Edge is ready to come back in kayfabe, we can get a big match of Rey, Edge and Styles VS Dom, Priest & Finn. Hell, depending on how long they stretch this out, it could even be at Survivor Series: WARGAMES!
My Score: 8.6/10

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks?

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip.

TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores!

The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode for Dynamite as things heat up towards Double or Nothing. Awesome 10 Man Tag to open, great win for the Faces, not that it added much to FTR VS C&C. Good promo from Jericho to look back on Stadium Stampede and hype up this year’s match. Good promo from The Demand with Davis and The Dogs, and I suppose this maximizes the feuds as well as the alliances throughout the locker room. Who knows who wins but the match will still be awesome, just as the original was. Good promo from Conglomeration, too, Cassidy & Roddy going after FTR while Kyle VS Moxley happens on the side, that’s great stuff.
Speaking of Moxley, great promo from him and Ospreay. Moxley’s semi-turn has really brought out his sage philosophical side. Great match from Ospreay VS Ace, and while Ospreay could always bring out his aggression, seeing him use more technical wrestling and even winning with a submission is good stuff. Good promo from Joe, and I liked Death Riders backing Ospreay up. Very good Owen Hart Cup brackets this year, Joe VS Ospreay is a great choice given this story, but I would think Ospreay wins that one. Good promo from Jack Perry to call out Davis, and I suppose Jack can win in the Owen Cup to then move on from the National title.
Great seeing Brian Cage back, he gave Knight an awesome match, but with JetSpeed wanting to go on a Two Man Power Trip, it makes sense Kevin won out. Same for Bailey beating Westbrook, even though Westbrook maybe went too hard on his own acrobatic escape. Great stuff in the Six Woman Tag, and I appreciate Shida didn’t ditch until after the match. Willow, Mina & Rosa might get their own Six Woman Tag with Triangle of Madness after that interaction, but also can’t wait to see if Willow can go back-to-back as Queen of Harts. For that matter, I personally would love to see Athena use the Owen Cup to move on from being ROH Women’s World Champion, but that depends on how Supercard of Honor goes this Friday.
And of course, another wild instant classic from Darby as he overcomes Takeshita. I knew the diamond ring would come into play with that reverse effect, good way of protecting Takeshita in the loss. Good stuff with MJF tonight, too, such as the opening segment’s parade of bald men to send the message to MJF. That was also a unique contract signing segment in that it came together so quickly after the main event match. Good stuff from MJF as always, and of course he attacks Darby. I feel like either Knight should not have made the save, or both parts of JetSpeed should’ve made the save. It just seems odd that only Knight cared about saving Darby. The closing moment was much better when it was MJF standing over Darby with the belt.
My Score: 9/10
