Sami Zayn & Solo Sikoa VS Ricochet & Mad Cap Moss!
Winnipeg, Manitoba is ready to ACKNOWLEDGE the Honorary Uce! And as such, the Bloodline’s Enforcer has his back against those who would dare disrespect him. Will Sami & Solo make the King of Flight and the #Riddickulous show their respect?
The teams sort out and Sami starts against Ricochet. They circle, tie up, and Sami gets around to then get a headlock. Sami grinds Ricochet down but Ricochet fights up. Sami wrenches to a wristlock and fans rally for him, but Ricochet rolls, kips up and flips over to WRING Sami out! Sami throws hands but Ricochet counter punches back. Ricochet ROCKS Sami, whips him, but Sami reverses. Ricochet rolls off Sami’s back to then roll and handspring headscissor! DROPKICK! Fans are torn but Ricochet tags Moss. Moss RAMS into Sami again and again, then he hauls Sami up to TOSS him! Moss looms over Sami and drags him back up.
Moss ROCKS Sami, and again, but Sami drop toeholds him into ropes! Tag to Solo and fans fire up as Solo fires off on Moss! Solo HEADBUTTS Moss back to the corner, HEADBUTTS and stomps him down. Sami gets a cheap shot in but Solo brings Moss up. Tag to Sami, they mug Moss and Sami throws hands. Moss wobbles. Sami taunts Ricochet, but then Moss dodges to TOSS Sami out! Solo runs in but is sent into a GAMANGIRI! Moss then sends Solo out, Ricochet gets in and gets a boost to FLY! Direct hit into Sami & Solo! Fans fire up while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Solo has Ricochet down with a shoulder claw. Ricochet endures, fans rally up, and Ricochet fights up to throw body shots. Solo CLUBS Ricochet down and clamps the claw back on. Ricochet fights up again and throws haymakers now. Ricochet gets free, but Solo blocks the whip! Solo whips Ricochet hard into the corner, then hits a SAMOAN DROP on the rebound! Cover, TWO! Solo looms over Ricochet as fans rally and duel. Solo stomps away on Ricochet, then he drags Ricochet up to CLUB him down. Sami tells Solo to stay on Ricochet, so Solo drops a leg! Fans rally up and Solo brings Ricochet up.
Solo grins as he fireman’s carries, but Ricochet fights free! Ricochet tries to sunset flip but Solo stays up! Solo drags Ricochet up again, TOSSES him to a corner, and he blocks a boot. But Ricochet ENZIGURIS Solo, then goes up for a MISSILE DROPKICK! Both men are down and fans rally up! Solo and Ricochet crawl, hot tags to Sami and Moss! Fans fire up but Moss is the one who rallies on Sami! Moss dodges Sami, catches him and hits a FALL AWAY SLAM! Sami flounders to a corner, Moss fires off on him with haymakers! Fans boo, Moss runs corner to corner and he RAMS into Sami! And then again!
Moss keeps going, he ducks ‘n’ dodges Solo to RAM him out of the ring! Solo is furious about that, and he grabs a chair! Fans fire up but Ricochet stops Solo! Moss runs and BLASTS Solo off the apron!

A rough landing for Ricochet, but Moss RAMS into Sami! And again! Solo sneaks a tag as Moss runs, WHEEL KICK! And then the URENAGE! Cover, Solo & Sami win!
Winners: Sami Zayn & Solo Sikoa, by pinfall
The Bloodline uses masterful strategy to win, but Sami mouths off on Moss. Moss grabs Sami, but Solo beats down Moss! Haymakers and headbutts sit Moss down and Sami has him let off. But then Solo runs in to HIP ATTACK! Sami says good, but then Solo hits another HIP ATTACK! Sami tells Solo to leave it at this, and they raise their hands in victory. Will no one stop The Bloodline from asserting their dominance all over the WWE?
Solo and Sami talk backstage.
Sami says, “That’s how you do it, Uce.” Solo looked amazing out there. But surely Roman watched all that, they can talk with him. But wait, JEY is there to answer the door! What’s he doing here? Solo and Jey say hey and Jey says don’t worry about what he’s doing here. He’s here to make sure his little brother did good. Sami says yeah, Solo did more than good. You saw what happened, right? They got the dub. A big dub. Jey lets Solo in, but has Sami stay out so they can talk privately. Jey sees right through Sami. Sami’s got everyone and their mama fooled, but not Jey. This is a warning shot. If Sami even thinks about putting the family in jeopardy, Jey will get him.
Sami tells Jey to take it up with Roman. And now, Sami would like to get into their locker room. Sami walks past Jey and Jey is seething. Will Main Event Jey be right about what Sami’s up to? Or is he just paranoid about his own position in the Bloodline?
Karrion Kross speaks.
“Mr. McIntyre. You have been trying to lure me out of the darkness for quite some time. And ironically, that is exactly what I have needed. Because you can’t just waltz back into the WWE and expect to get a title shot. That’s not how it works. You’ve been on the top of this industry for a very long time. You’re the kind of guy you have to send to the hospital to make sure that he stays down. And unfortunately for you, that is exactly what my specialty is. I want you to understand something: At Extreme Rules, I am going to take you to a point of absolutely no return. A place where no man leaves unscarred.
“Because you and I want the same thing. Only one of us can have it. Now, because of that, we are bound together through suffering. Once the world sees what I have been shown through the cards, and you’re completely out of the way, I will go on to make history and become the NEW WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. Time to change the timelines. And at Extreme Rules, Mr. McIntyre, when they strap that leather to your wrist, know in your heart and your soul, I will drag you down to the deepest parts of Hell. And when I feel like you’ve had enough, I’m gonna leave you there to burn away forever. Tick-tock.” Is time almost up for the Scottish Warrior?
Backstage interview with Austin Theory.
Kayla Braxton asks the Youngest Mr. Money in the Bank Winner about his promise to become Universal Champion. Is he planning on cashing in any time soon? Theory says he’s learned his lesson. At SummerSlam, Lesnar ruined his cash-in. At Clash at the Castle, “that doofus” Tyson Fury ruined his cash-in. The only reason Theory was even in Wales was so he could become champion. Other than that, Wales is pathetic! It’s like Europe’s version of… Winnipeg! But the one person who really embarrassed themselves, even more than Theory, was Drew McIntyre.
Let’s think about it: in front of 60 THOUSAND people, some of those being his own friends and family. And in front of them all, McIntyre completely failed. Speaking of failure, Theory fails to notice McIntyre walking up behind him. Theory says McIntyre has all this physical talent, but the one thing he’s missing is brains. Because how did he not see Solo Sikoa coming? And now, that idiot’s got himself into a Strap match with Karrion Kross! McIntyre puts his hand on Theory’s shoulder. The two stare down, and McIntyre tells Theory it’ll be the two of them, in the ring, NOW!! Theory stuck his foot in his mouth, is McIntyre gonna add his to it?
Drew McIntyre VS Austin Theory!
Just as Theory said, the Scottish Warrior is not Undisputed Universal Champion, and is headed to a Strap Match! McIntyre brings said strap with him, along with Angela the sword. Will McIntyre look to use one of those here tonight?
But then Theory has a surprise as he makes his entrance: The Alpha Academy! Will Chad Gable & Otis Dozovic help Theory survive this one? The bell rings and Theory dodges McIntyre to then taunt and flex. Then Theory uses a corner as a defense. The ref has McIntyre back off, and then Theory tries a cheap shot. McIntyre blocks it, Theory dodges the retaliation and he CHOPS! McIntyre doesn’t flinch! Theory CHOPS again, but then McIntyre CHOPS Theory off his feet! And deadlift suplexes Theory to TOSS him away! Theory writhes, McIntyre drags him up to CHOP again! McIntyre whips Theory but Theory holds ropes.
Theory bails out to regroup with the Academy, fans boo, but Gable tells them to SHOOSH! But McIntyre drags Theory up to the apron by his head! Theory HOTSHOTS McIntyre, then hurries in with the somersault SHOTGUN! Theory rains down fists, fans boo, but Theory and the Academy soak up the heat. Theory throws haymaker after haymaker, then runs, only for McIntyre to get around and hit a FUTURE SHOCK! McIntyre kips up and fans fire up! McIntyre aims from the corner, “THREE! TWO! ONE!” But Gable distracts on the apron! So McIntyre TOSSES him into the ring! Gable cowers but Otis drags McIntyre out!
Winner: Drew McIntyre, by disqualification
Otis fires off on McIntyre and RAMS him into steel steps! Fans boo more but Otis puts McIntyre in the ring. Gable, Theory and Otis all mug McIntyre! Kross must like this from wherever he’s lurking tonight. But JOHNNY GARGANO is here! Gargano runs to the ring, RAMS into Gable, and then ROCKS Theory! Otis runs in but Gargano sends him out! Gargano fires off on Theory but Gable goes after him! Gargano hits Gable but Otis CLOBBERS Gargano! Gargano gets mugged now, and Gable even stomps McIntyre down.
Wait! Here comes KEVIN OWENS! Winnipeg is fired up as the Prizefighter gets in and fires off on Theory! And on Gable! And then Theory again! Gargano joins in, they throw out Theory and Gable! They dodge Otis to SUPERKICK! And SUPERKICK! And GLASGOW KISS! Fans fire up as Kevin, Gargano and McIntyre stand tall! Gargano settles things with Otis this Monday, will Johnny Wrestling give the tree trunk #OneFinalBeat?
Maximum Male Models finds Max Dupri backstage.
Maxxine, Maçé & Mansôör want to talk with Max. They understand he is disappointed in their performance from last week. But tonight, they’ll make him proud! They’ll bring home “the title.” Wait, wait, they have a tag title match with the Usos? Uh, no, not quite. But tonight, the boys will break the Canadian record for longest pose. Hit it! They warm up and BAM. So they’re just going to stand here? This is not what Max was hoping for. Hit Row then walk over and ask what this even is. Adonis steps and the models flinch! Now they have to start over! Hit Row heads off, having a good laugh, as MMM legitimately resets and tries again. Is MMM perhaps missing the point?
Shotzi Blackheart speaks.
“Last week, Bayley and her damaged cronies showed me exactly what they’re all about: scheming like a bunch of jackals. Now, I’m not the kind of person who’s gonna sit on the sidelines weighing my options. I’m gonna stick my nose and my boots where I want. Tonight, let’s see how much control Bayley has when I roll to the ring and stomp all over her.” The wild child is ready to wage war on a Role Model, will she be the one in control?
Hit Row VS Los Lotharios!
Top Dolla, Ashante THEE Adonis & B-Fab were just trying to have a good time last week, but Angel Garza & Humberto Carrillo just had to ruin it. Will these Lethal Lovers be kissing their good looks good-bye? Or will they be able to avoid becoming Hit Row’s next smash hit?
The teams sort out and Adonis starts against Garza. They tie up, Garza puts Adonis in the corner already and fires off hands. Tag to Carrillo, they mug Adonis, double whip and double hip toss for a SLAM! And DOUBLE SUPERKICK! Carrillo covers, ONE!! Carrillo CHOPS Adonis to the corner,. tags Garza and they stomp a mudhole into him together! The ref counts, Los Lotharios let off, and OFF COME GARZA’S PANTS! He throws the tights at Dolla but Dolla catches them to throw ’em back! Garza taunts Dolla then goes back to KICK Adonis. Garza drags Adonis out to suplex, but Adonis turns that to a NECKBREAKER!
Both men are down and fans rally up. Hot tags to Carrillo and Dolla! Dolla rallies on Los Lotharios, swats Carrillo and then ROCKS him, to kick and knee lift! Fans fire up for Dolla and he runs in to SPLASH Carrillo! Then a scoop for a SIDEWALK SLAM! Dolal rolls to his feet, runs to do a shimmy, shake and ELBOW DROP! Cover, Garza breaks it! Garza ROCKS Adonis, flirts with B-Fab, but Dolal gets up. Dolla grabs Garza, pops him up, and then scoops Carrillo! Adonis tags in, “Who hotta than Top Dolla?” WASTELAND POWERSLAM COMBO! “NOT NADA!” Carrillo flounders, Dolla picks him up, HEAVY HITTER! Cover, Hit Row wins!
Winners: Hit Row, by pinfall
Los Lotharios are hot, but not hotter than Hit Row! And if you didn’t know, now you know!
Backstage interview with Ronda Rousey.
Kayla asks what Ronda thinks about how “extreme” Liv Morgan got last week against Lacey Evans. “Extreme? Well, Hooters Barbie might think she’s extreme because she can hold a kendo stick and jump on a table, but let’s just ignore the fact that if she had a Hattori Hanzo katana, I’d still kick her ass. I am the most dangerous unarmed woman on the planet. What do you think I become wielding a baseball bat?” Kayla thanks Ronda and leaves, understanding what she means. Will Ronda remind us why she is the Baddest Woman on the Planet?
Ronda Rousey VS Natalya!
Don’t call this a tune-up, the is the Baddest Woman on the Planet VS The Queen of Harts (and perhaps of Canada) in a rematch from Money in the Bank! But will Ronda win here like she did there? Or can the BOAT prove she should be going to Extreme Rules instead?
The bell rings, Natty and Ronda get in each other’s face. Ronda shoves Natty so Natty trips Ronda! Ronda fights off the Sharpshooter but then Natty gets an ANKLE LOCK! Fans rally, Ronda endures and rolls to send Natty into the corner! Natty staggers up into a haymaker! And another! Ronda DECKS Natty, then drags her onto the ropes. Ronda CHOKES Natty and has a headscissor to prove she can go extreme. Ronda lets off at 4 to KNEE Natty back into the ring. Fans fire up as Ronda rolls Natty into a headscissor leglock combo! Ronda taunts Winnipeg’s Hart fans but Natty powers through to switch things around on Ronda!
Ronda fights off the press, kips free and knees low. Fans duel, Ronda whips Natty to a corner and fires up! Ronda runs in but Natty ducks under to POWERBOMB Ronda down! Both women are down and fans rally up again. Natty and Ronda stir, and Natty is up first. Natty drags Ronda up but Ronda knees in return! Natty DISCUS into a sayanagi! And then a fireman’s carry, but Natty slips off! Roll up, TWO, but Natty has the legs! SHARP- NO, Ronda has a KNEEBAR!! Natty stays up, pushes back to a cover, TWO! Ronda lets Natty go but the DISCUS gets her for it! Fans fire up again as Natty covers, TWO!!
Natty can’t believe it but Ronda survives! Natty drags Ronda up, scoops her, but Ronda slips free and has the leg! ANKLE LOCK! Natty endures now, and Ronda GRAPEVINES!! Natty flails, claws around, but she taps! Ronda wins!
Winner: Ronda Rousey, by pinfall
Rowdy Ronda didn’t need to get extreme, she just needed to use her technical skills. But wait! Here comes Liv Morgan, holding title belt and baseball bat! Ronda mentioned it so Liv got inspired. Liv and Ronda stare down at the ramp. Liv dares Ronda to make a move, but it’s Liv who rushes in! Ronda BOOTS Liv, but Liv JAMS Ronda! Liv swings but Ronda ducks, Liv hits the post! Ronda fireman’s carries for a PIPER’S PIT to the floor! The bat tumbles away and now Liv is unarmed! She still hits Ronda, and they both go for the bat! It’s a tug-o-war but Ronda RAMS Liv into the apron! Liv holds on tight, but then lets go to send Ronda into barriers!
Liv swings again, but Ronda blocks in time! And Ronda TOSSES Liv over barriers! Security rushes in to stop this, but Ronda has the bat! Ronda did tease how much more dangerous this would make her, but the ref asks she put it down. Ronda drops the bat and smirks as she walks to the ramp. But Liv’s back up! Liv rushes through to CLOBBER Ronda!! Fans fire up but security rushes to stop this! They separate Liv and Ronda but Liv gets loose to CLOBBER Ronda again!! Liv may not be technically skilled but she is fiery! Fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” and Ronda does get loose! Ronda and Liv scrap again, but security pulls them apart!
But there won’t be any stopping this when it’s Extreme Rules at Extreme Rules! Will Liv complete the unheard of hattrick on Ronda? Or will the Baddest Woman on the Planet become the Baddest SmackDown Women’s Champion once again?
McIntyre talks with Kevin and Gargano backstage.
It felt great to fight off Theory and the Academy together, but McIntyre does question the company Gargano keeps these days. Kevin knows McIntyre means him. McIntyre says he’s just kidding around. They may not always see eye to eye, but they can all agree on this: Theory needs to get his ass kicked! Gargano agrees 100%! Same page? Same book? Kevin says yes, same everything. Just see you guys later, alright? Kevin leaves Gargano and McIntyre to talk and catch up, and then he sees MMM just standing there. How long has it been? Hmm… Kevin thinks Mace’s hand needs to be a bit higher to be more effective.
Then Kevin finds Sami. They just smile, and Kevin chuckles at the Honorary Uce shirt. Sami should get a new one. Kevin leaves, but will his best frenemy ever listen to him?
Shinsuke Nakamura checks in on Maçé & Mansôör.
The King of Strong Style does his own pose. Sonya Deville walks over, then shakes her head and walks away. How much longer for the record?
IMPERIUM is here!
Der Ring General, GUNTHER, leads the way for Giovanni Vinci & Ludwig Kaiser, stoic but surely proud that they kept the Brawling Brutes from winning the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships. But it was also announced that the Brutes and Imperium will battle 3v3 at Extreme Rules under Good Ol’ Fashion Donnybrook Rules! Anything goes between six of the meanest men in WWE today, but for now, the Impeccable German has the mic. “There have been few things more insulting to the mat that is so sacred to us than the presence of the Brawling Brutes.” The disgust is clear on Ludwig’s face and in his voice.
The Pride of Italy, Giovanni Vinci says, “NONE of the Brawling Brutes exhibit the qualities of a champion. THIS is what a champion looks like!” He points to the WWE Intercontinental Champion, GUNTHER! Gunther says, “Next week, I’m gonna beat Sheamus! I’m gonna grind him down for the final time, and I’m gonna enjoy the look of defeat in his eyes when I break his spirit once and for all. The next night, Imperium will OBLITERATE all three of the Brawling Brutes from-” Wait! Here come the Brawling Brutes! Er, at least Sheamus. He has a mic to say< “Whoa, whoa, whoa there, Betsy.”
Gunther loves talking a big fight, doesn’t he? But not them Brawling Brutes. Unfortunately, Ridge & Butch are stuck in Florida. Fans boo but Sheamus says that’s okay! The King of Bangers is here in Winnipeg! And lads, you know Sheamus. He’s more than happy to kick all of their bleeding heads right off their shoulders. Fans cheer and The Fella heads to the ring. Vinci and Ludwig rush out but Sheamus reveals his shillelagh! He CLOBBERS Vinci, CLOBBERS Ludwig, then CLUBS them each again! Sheamus smirks as he continues to the ring, but Gunther is ready. Sheamus stares Gunther down and fans are on the Fella’s side.
Sheamus drops the shillelagh and puts his hat aside. The suspender straps come down, and it’s a BRAWL! Sheamus dodges to KNEE Gunther down! Fans fire up and Sheamus goes to a corner. Sheamus takes aim, fans chant along, but Vinci and Ludwig attack! Gunther BOOTS Sheamus down! Imperium stands Sheamus up, they rip off the shirt and Gunther CHOPS away on Sheamus! Then another BOOT! Vinci & Ludwig keep Sheamus up as Gunther rubs the title in Sheamus’ face before one more CHOP! Gunther brings Sheamus around, reels him in, GENERAL BOMB!! Imperium leaves Sheamus behind, but Sheamus gets the mic to have a laugh? “Is that all you got?”
Fans cheer as Sheamus keeps taunting Gunther! “You gotta do better than that!” Imperium heads back up to the ring, Vinci and Ludwig get in to CLOBBER Sheamus! They mug the Celtic Warrior, and Gunther grabs the shillelagh! Ludwig sits Sheamus up for Gunther to CLOBBER!! Fans boo as Sheamus it out cold! Now Imperium leaves, will they just do this to Sheamus, Ridge & Butch again next week?
Bayley speaks.
“Shotzi loves to run her mouth as if she was the one to pin Bianca Belair for the first time in over 300 days, but I’m pretty sure, uh, ding dong hello, that’s me. And I know she wouldn’t be talking like that if Dakota & Iyo weren’t stuck in Florida. But that’s okay. Because I’m gonna shut Shotzi up all by myself. And after I do that, then I’m gonna go on to Extreme Rules and climb that ladder to once again beat Bianca Belair and become your NEW Raw Women’s Champion!” Bayley is all smiles now, but can she win when she doesn’t have her back-up?
WWE learns of the passing of Antonio Inoki.
The WWE hall of famer, the NJPW founder and legend, and a great man in the fight sports industry has passed, so WWE wants to pass along their condolences to the Inoki family.
Shotzi Blackheart VS Bayley!
It’s a battle of the Bay Area all the way in Winnipeg! But it isn’t about Oakland A’s VS San Francisco Giants, it’s about who is headed to the top here in the WWE! Will Shotzi open fire now that she has her tank back? Or will Bayley be able to survive entering the Ball Pit?
The bell rings and the two circle. Bayley kicks low and fires off hands, then she whips Shotzi to ropes. Shotzi slides under, howls to the moon, and then kicks. Bayley blocks but the ENZIGURI hits! Shotzi WRINGS Bayley out, then WRINGS her again! Shotzi then hits an ARM CODE BREAKER, to then body scissor victory roll! TWO, and Shotzi storms up to whip Bayley. Bayley reverses, Shotzi bounces off buckles and Bayley goes up to FLYING ARM-DRAG and basement BOOT! Bayley drags Shotzi up, whips her to ropes but Shotzi reverses to drop toehold and put Bayley on those ropes! Shotzi runs, but Bayley avoids the senton to SLAM Shotzi down!
Bayley whips, Shotzi dodges to springboard and victory roll Bayley onto ropes now! Shotzi runs, BALLPIT! Shotzi drags Bayley to a drop zone, climbs up, but Bayley hurries to the ropes. Shotzi intercepts her, ROUNDHOUSES her back, and then brings Bayley through for an APRON DDT! Fans fire up with Shotzi while Bayley flops down and SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns and Bayley hits Shotzi with a NECKBREAKER! Shotzi flounders to a corner, Bayley runs in, but Shotzi goes up and over! Shotzi rolls, runs back and dropkicks Bayley into the corner! Bayley stands up for the SPALSH! Shotzi snapmares Bayley and runs to SLING-DOG! Fans fire up with Shotzi and she KNEES Bayley for a ROLLING ELBOW! SWITCHBLADE KICK! Shotzi brings Bayley to a corner to snap suplex her into buckles! Bayley flounders into a drop zone and Shotzi goes up top! Fans rally as Shotzi aims, but Bayley ROCKS her first! Shotzi BOOTS back, but then Bayley SLINGS Shotzi down! Bayley hooks Shotzi up, ROSE PLANT!! Cover, Bayley wins!
Winner: Bayley, by pinfall
Bayley got it done on her own, but Bayley isn’t done with Shotzi! She hooks Shotzi up for another ROSE PLANT!! Bayley huffs and puffs and goes out to look under the ring. Bayley brings out a LADDER! She puts that in the ring, ready to use Shotzi as an example to Bianca Belair! Bayley opens the ladder, and she puts Shotzi inside it! Fans already know this is going to get bad as Bayley closes the ladder. But here comes BIANCA! The EST won’t let Bayley do any worse to Shotzi. Bayley bails, Bianca gets Shotzi out of the ladder, only for Bayley to CLOBBER Bianca! Bayley suckered Bianca in, but Bianca blocks the Rose Plant!
Bianca stands up with Bayley in a torture rack! Bayley gets free and runs off! Fans boo but Bianca has sent a message of her own. Will Bianca just make history repeat itself? Or will Bayley be able to take things to the extreme and then take control?
Maximum Male Models is still posing.
Maxxine says this is fantastic. They are so close to the record! Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! MAX CLOBBERS MANSOOR!? Why!? Max says MMM had a shot at something and they’re just clowns! Here they are, worrying about posing instead of real titles. This is not for Max anymore. Quite frankly, this never really was, yeah. Is this the last night we see Max Du-PRI?
Six Man Tag: Drew McIntyre, Johnny Gargano & Kevin Owens VS Austin Theory & The Alpha Academy!
The 1v1 match McIntyre tried to have with Theory was ruined by Gable & Otis, so now it’s grown into a 3v3! Will the Scottish Warrior, Johnny Wrestling and the Prizefighter humble the Youngest Mr. Money in the Bank and his buddies? Or will they SHOOOOSH? Shoosh please?
SmackDown returns as Kevin makes his entrance, followed by Gargano, and then of course, McIntyre! The teams sort out and Gargano starts against Gable. Fans rally for Johnny Wrestling as he ties up with Gable. Gargano wrenches, wristlocks, but Gable rolls and spins to wrench and wristlock back. Gargano rolls, breaks free and dropkicks Gable! Gable gets up, swings but misses, Gargano comes back with a RANA! Fans fire up and Gargano CHOPS Gable! And CHOPS! Gargano whips, Gable reverses, and Theory stands in Gargano’s way.

Fans boo but Gable tags Theory. Gable stomps Gargano, Theory drags him up and ROCKS him to the corner. Theory RAMS into Gargano, and again, then throws hands. The ref counts, Theory lets off to whip corner to corner. Gargano goes up and over and rolls Theory for the schoolboy KICK! Gargano goes to a corner, runs corner to corner, but is put on the apron. Gargano SLINGSHOT SPEARS Theory down! Gable rushes back in but Gargano TOSSES him! McIntyre DECKS Otis then Kevin CANNONBALLS Theory and Gable! Winnipeg is all fired up and Gargano even high-fives McIntyre as SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Gargano is trapped in the Alpha corner. Gable distracts the ref so Theory can dig his fingers into Gargano’s face! Gable digs his boots in, lets off as the ref reprimands, and he drags Gargano up from the apron. Gargano rams into Gable, and again! Gargano rams a third time as fans rally, but Gable turns slingshot into NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO!! Gargano survives but Gable drags Gargano away with a mounted armlock.

Gargano puts Kevin on the table now and he climbs up. Gable says, “A THANK YOU!” but Gargano gives Otis a TORNADO DDT! That distracts Gable, Kevin gives him a STUNNER! Gable falls into Michael Cole’s chair! This all distracts Theory, he turns around into a CLAYMORE! Cover, McIntyre’s team wins!!
Winners: Drew McIntyre, Johnny Gargano & Kevin Owens, by pinfall
McIntyre grabs the strap! He LASHES Theory!! Theory flails and flounders away, and McIntyre stares the camera down. He’s warning Kross of what is coming, will that eternal suffering be for Kross to bear?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown, especially with some legitimate adjustments having to be made because of Hurricane Ian. We saw it with the Brawling Brutes being down two men, but it worked towards the segment that Sheamus was outnumbered and got beat down in the end. Normally, the math says Sheamus would win the title next week, but I can’t be sure that happens. Maybe the Brutes win that Six Man Donnybrook in exchange, but I feel like things should be swapped. We should have the Donnybrook on TV and the (potential) title change on PPV. IF this happens, it is going to be Sheamus’ Grand Slam, AND the first-ever Ultimate Grand Slam in WWE! That alone deserves to be on Extreme Rules, not the “season premiere” so Fox can get ratings.
The other adjustment was no Kai & Sky for Bayley, but again, that might’ve worked out for the better. Shotzi and Bayley had really good promos, I LOVE that Shotzi got her tank back and that it does pyro now, and Shotzi VS Bayley was a really good match. Bayley might be still working off some ring rust or getting her cardio back, but she still kept up and of course she gets a win. Bayley almost getting the better of Bianca was also good stuff, and we’ve got this Monday to put on the finishing touches for the go-home math. But being a Ladder match, this is really going in Bayley’s favor to where DMG CTRL reigns over Raw and then looks to go after SmackDown.
Speaking of, a mixed bag for the SmackDown Women’s Championship story. Ronda’s promo on paper was really clever stuff. Ronda’s promo in execution? I don’t think she would’ve made it through the audition. Ronda is right, she is perhaps the most talented female fighter in the world, but she’s still got to work on her delivery. However, since she is a great fighter, she and Natty had a really good match that of course Ronda wins. And again, because Ronda’s a great fighter and Liv is really improving, they give us a great brawl. The only problem now is, Liv is feeling a touch more like the Face than Ronda, but she can’t possibly go 3-0. Ronda is surely going to win, perhaps because Liv goes “too extreme” and it costs her.
Great developments with Maximum Male Models, in that Maximum Male Models is falling apart. Max Dupri has had it, he’s all but back to being L A KNIGHTÂ YEAH. I wouldn’t be surprised if next week on the “season premiere,” that is when we see the SmackDown debut of LA Knight, as foretold by how LA Knight’s tron looked a lot like the old SmackDown Live logo. Maybe Mace & Mansoor join him in getting serious again so that Maxxine can go join Los Lotharios, maybe not, but it’s going to be great to have Knight calling people dummies again. Speaking of Los Lotharios, great match with Hit Row but of course Hit Row wins to build momentum in the tag division.
Great opening tag from Sami & Solo VS Ricochet & Moss, and Winnipeg just loves Sami so much, they flipped who was Face and Heel here. Well, okay, not really. Sami & Solo still win with some Heelish tactics, and they have a great interaction with Jey backstage. Sami is getting very confident now that he has Roman’s backing, and that is just gonna piss Jey off more. Great promo from Theory to get the ball rolling on things tonight. Kevin and Sami interacting again was great, their stories have to end with them being the team that takes on and dethrones the Usos. It just wouldn’t make sense to me otherwise.
Speaking of things making sense, Kross had a good promo but a QR Code popping up at the end was a clever way to tie him back into this White Rabbit thing. It was an obvious red herring but a logical one. Then there was someone with a sign that read “REVEL IN WHAT YOU ARE” who was allowed to be right behind commentary for a moment. That also has to mean something towards this Bray Wyatt/not Bray Wyatt return campaign. But anyway, awesome Six Man Tag main event. Of course the Faces win so that McIntyre gets momentum back from Kross beating him down. The go-home week will tell us more, but I’m starting to wonder if Kross could end up winning that Strap match to send McIntyre on a further detour from the Universal title.
My Score: 8.9/10

Daniel Garcia VS Johnny TV w/ MXM Collection!
Speaking of the TNT Championship, it will be Red Death challenging Jack Perry for that gold. But before he becomes the Face of TNT, can he prove to Johnny and the world that he is #TVReady?

Wait, cameras have caught up and now Perry is brawling with Menard in the back! Garcia hurries to the back, but Perry throws Menard into railing! And SMACKS him with a floor sign! Perry stalks Menard while commentary says AEW is coming unglued! Things have moved to the parking lot, and Perry SMACKS Menard off the Scapegoat bus! “You think he’s ready? You think he’s ready!? Then you’re what’s holding him back. But I’m gonna fix that.”
Perry shoves Menard aside, then goes into the bus. Perry brings out a tow chain, with a hook on it! Perry CLUBS Menard, then hooks him up to the back of the bus! Between the chain and the bus exhaust, Menard is coughing and sputtering. Perry tells Menard, “We all have to sacrifice.” Perry then goes into the bus, but Garcia runs up! Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?
Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!

Komander hurries to a corner and climbs! Komander tightrope walks the 20 feet, to then SPACE MAN MOONSAULT! Down goes Shelton and the fans are thunderous! Komander hurries to get Shelton up but Shelton ELBOWS him away. Shelton slides into the ring himself, but Komander follows. MVP is furious as Komander runs, 619! Shelton is down and Komander goes up again! MVP shouts at Shelton while Komander aims.
Komander tightrope walks again but has to bail out as Shelton moves! Shelton waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! Komander flounders to a corner, Shelton runs up to STEP-UP KNEE! And then a SUPERKICK! Komander gets folded up and MVP says finish it already! Shelton hauls Komander up, clinches, and hits PAYDIRT! Cover, Shelton wins!
Winner: Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall
MVP stands with Shelton in the victory, but Komander definitely give more of a fight than either man expected. MVP then says we should leave with a souvenir! Shelton grabs at Komander’s mask! Abrahantes gets in the ring to stop Shelton, but then he sees MVP there. MVP grabs Abrahantes by the neck! MVP LARIATS Abrahantes down! MVP may be a manager now, but he can still hit other managers hard. Will nothing stop The Hurt Syndicate from owning AEW?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up. Jameson gives all the introductions, and looking at “P-P-Powerhouse,” all you people are expecting a meat madness match! You want meat?! Then yeah, chant it up! But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bronson pumps up and puffs up, but he’s looking lean compared to Hobbs. Bronson runs, RAMS Hobbs, but Bronson bounces off! The fans fire up but the Savages coach Bronson up. Hobbs says stop playing and bring it! Hobbs SLAPS Bronson, so Bronson really fires up! Bronson kicks low, and says, “How ’bout that, Hobbs?!” Bronson runs, but Hobbs dodges and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Hobbs brings Bronson around. Scoop and SLAM, and the fans fire up with Hobbs! Hobbs then brings Bronson up to scoop and SLAM again! Bronson writhes, the fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!”
Hobbs drags Bronson up, scoops and SLAMS again! Bronson writhes while Hobbs looms over him. Hobbs brings Bronson up, but Bronson wrenches out to ROCK Hobbs! Bronson fires haymakers, then CLUBS away on Hobbs’ back! The fans rally, Bronson reels Hobbs in, but Hobbs suplexes Bronson first! Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!
Hobbs shakes the ropes, and the straps come down! The fans fire up but Jameson talks trash on the apron. Hobbs DECKS him! Boulder runs in?! Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! The ref can’t believe what’s going on as Hobbs torture racks Bronson! ARGENTINE RACK! Bronson TAPS, Hobbs wins! And drops Bronson on Boulder!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by submission
Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start. Mortos steps up and the fans sing while the bell rings. Bowens and Mortos circle, tie up, and Mortos powers Bowens to a corner.
The ref counts, Mortos lets off, but Bowens dodges the shot to fire CHOPS! Mortos just roars! Mortos runs up, Bowens dodges to CHOP, CHOP and fire forearms! Mortos puts Bowens in a corner to fire forearms and lariats! Caster protests but Mortos SMACKS Bowens! And SMACKS him again! Mortos whips, Bowens reverses, but Mortos rolls off Bowens’ back! Bowens DROPKICKS but Mortos rebounds to CLOBBER Bowens! Bowens gets up but Caster tags in. Caster tells Bowens to relax, but here comes Rush. The fans rally up and the two tie up. Rush powers Caster back, Caster turns things around, but Rush turns it back around.
The ref counts as they’re in a corner, and the two separate. Rush eggs Caster on, the two tie up again, and Rush waistlocks. Caster switches, shoves, and drops down. Rush runs up but Caster hurdles. Rush leaps over but Caster runs him over! Rush runs Caster over! The fans fire up, but Caster says hold on! Tranquilo! Caster raises the ingobernable fist, Rush is moderately amused, but then Caster sucker punches him! Rush scowls and DECKS Caster! Rush goes out to grab his favorite green cable! Mortos distracts the ref, but Caster fires hands on Rush first! And Caster uses the cable! The fans cheer as Rush tastes his own medicine!
But then Rush SLINGS Caster to the floor! Billy is upset but the ref wants him to stay back. Billy tries to point out the shenanigans, but Collision goes picture in picture.
The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg. Rush drags Caster up, CHOPS him then ROCKS him, then bumps him off buckles. Tag to Mortos and Mortos SMACKS Caster! Cover, TWO! Caster toughs it out but Mortos NECK GTWISTS! Cover, TWO! Mortos stalks Caster to a corner while Private Party watches closely. Mortos SMACKS Caster again! Mortos puts Caster in the corner, taunts Bowens, and while the ref is busy with Bowens, that lets The Snake get in cheap shots!
Billy and Bowens both protest, but Mortos wrenches Caster. Tag to Rush and LFI mugs Caster. Caster goes to a corner but Rush whips corner to corner. Rush runs up and feints the dropkick to SMACK Caster! Rush soaks up the cheers and jeers while he blows a kiss. Rush drags Caster up to snapmare and motorcycle stretch.

Mortos stays in this, but Bowens stays focused. Bowens fires forearms but Mortos hits back.
Bowens fires a flurry, then whips, but Mortos reverses. Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS Bowens down! The fans fire up but Caster MISSILE DROPKCIKS Mortos! Rush runs up, but Caster SUPERKICKS him! Caster runs at Rush, but Rush THROWS him into the corner! Bowens DECKS Rush! The fans fire up as all four men are down! Private Party likes this, too, as Billy coaches his guys.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?
Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!
Anna confiscates a monitor to SMACK Mariah on the back! Mariah falls into Schaivone’s arms, and Nigel is furiously jealous! Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up as Anna keeps going, and she sits the chair up nearby. Anna drags Mariah up, but Mariah fires body shots! DDTÂ onto the chair! Anna falls back while Mariah snarls. Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.
Mariah drags Anna up, for a SAIDO! Mariah then positions chairs before she fireman’s carries Anna. MADAYÂ on a chair! Cover, TWO!?! Anna survives and Mariah is furious! Mariah grits her teeth as she drags Anna up and reels her in. Anna fights free, kicks low, then has the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB onto the ladder!! The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first! Mariah bumps Anna off buckles, then SUPSER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS through the table!! Cover, TWO?!?! Anna survives and Mariah cannot believe it! But this is what winning the title with no safety net means for Anna! Mariah goes out, looks under the ring, and she brings out spare railing!?
Mariah pushes the railing into the ring, but she also brings some chairs over. Mariah sets the chairs up before she props the railing up like a ramp. Mariah adds more chairs, but Anna hits a BACKSTABBER first! Both women are down again, but Anna grabs herself some chairs. Anna finishes the project Mariah was working on, and the railing is now a platform! Anna drags Mariah over but Mariah HEADBUTTS first! Mariah then puts Anna on the railing, and looks to go through with her plan all along! The fans fire up as Mariah climbs, but Anna trips her up first! Anna climbs up, and she has Mariah on the very top! SUPERPLEXÂ on the railing!!!
The fans lose their minds as both women are wrecked on the steel bars! Nigel can’t bear to watch the replay! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Mariah rises up, but Anna flops out of the ring. Anna finds some BARBED WIRE! Anna looks to relive one of her highlights as she wraps the wire around her arm! Anna stalks Mariah, and has the BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER on!!! Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZEROÂ on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up! Daivari headlocks, Briscoe powers out, but Daivari RAMS Briscoe! Briscoe roars! Daivari runs and RAMS Briscoe again! And again! Then Daivari fires hands! But Briscoe blocks to ROCK Daivari! And ROCK him again! And again! REDNECK PALM STRIKES! Briscoe puts Daivari in a corner!
Briscoe rains down fists and the fans count to TEN! Briscoe hops down, the fans fire up, and Briscoe CLOBBERS Daivari! And CLOBBERS him again! Briscoe whips, Daivari reverses, but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up with Briscoe and he runs at the corner. LARIAT, and then FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Daivari survives but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe drags Daivari up, reels him in, but Daivari fights the underhooks! Daivari wrenches, dodges a lariat, and SUPERKICKS! Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

It’s the full Don Callis Family against the Aerial Assassin, the Powerhouse, Dunkzilla and The One & Only in an All Star 8 Man Tag! Which side will have all the momentum going into Full Gear?
Rocky Romero VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!
Rampage returns and the bell rings. The fans rally as Azucar and Commander of the Skies circle, but Montel Vontavious Porter is watching backstage…? Who business could MVP and The Hurt Syndicate have here? Rocky and Komander tie up, Komander wrenches and wristlocks. Rocky rolls then DROPKICKS! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, then waits on Komander. The two reset, circle, and tie up again. Rocky waistlocks, SLAMS, then flips Komander, maybe a little too much. Rocky flips Komander over again but Komander kips up to arm-drag! Komander gives some Latino Heat of his own, and Rocky can’t help but smile.
The fans rally as Komander and Rocky feel things out. They knuckle lock, go shoulder to shoulder, and the fans cheer the Test of Strength. Rocky powers Komander back, then MONKEY FLIPS! Rocky rolls back but Komander blocks the mount to then go up and MONKEY FLIP back! It’s a double cover, TWO as both men bridge! The fans cheer this exchange, and the two roll to their feet. Komander kicks one knuckle lock apart to then go up and ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! Rocky is back up fast, and he hurdles, drops under, then hurdles again. Komander leaps over, keeps moving, and he springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG!
The fans fire up while Rocky bails out. Komander builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Rocky and the fans fire up again! Komander feeds off the energy to put Rocky in the ring. Komander goes up a corner, takes aim, but Rocky moves. Komander rolls through, comes back, and dodges to then handspring and- FACEBUSTER from Rocky! Cover, TWO!

The fans and Abrahantes fires up as Komander fires off CHOPS and KICKS! The ref counts, Komander lets off, but Rocky sucker punches him!

MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!

Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!

Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again. Dante springboards up and around for a CARTWHEEL CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives, he runs at Dante, but Dante goes up and over!

Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
