PLAY BY PLAY

Renee Paquette is here!

Toronto goes wild as Mrs. Moxley makes her AEW debut! She introduces herself and welcomes us to Dynamite. “Joining me now is Canada’s own Christian Cage!” Fans are torn as Captain Charisma makes his way out on stage. She asks him how it feels to be back in Toronto, and he says it feels great. “And as the face of not only the city of Toronto but the country of Canada, I’m gonna go ahead right now and guarantee a victory tonight. And not just any guarantee, I’m talking this guarantee is locked in. This guarantee is 100%. It’s like the Toronto Maple Leafs losing in the first round of the playoffs guaranteed.” Toronto boos at being trolled.

But without further ado, Christian introduces his “Right Hand of Destruction,” Luchasaurus! The treacherous T-Rex makes his way out and Christian goes with him to the ring. Will this battle be what finally ends things between the former Jurassic Express members?

“Jungle Boy” Jack Perry VS Luchasaurus w/ Christian Cage!

The bell rings and JB rushes to SHOTGUN Luchasaurus! JB fires off but Luchasaurus TOSSES JB into the corner! JB dodges Luchasaurus to fire off fast hands! Luchasaurus shoves him away, then pops JB up to throw him to the apron. JB shoulders in, slingshots up and over to keep moving, and he SHOTGUNS Luchasaurus onto ropes! Fans fire up while Christian is on commentary. JB copies Christian with how he stands on Luchasaurus! Then he slingshots to ROCK Luchasaurus with that same uppercut! Christian says that’s cute, JB learned something. But JB turns around into a choke grip! Christian says this is why he dropped JB.

But JB wrenches and HOTSHOTS Luchasaurus! JB slides in, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then leaps, but into Luchasaurus’ arms! Luchasaurus pops JB around, HIGH ANGLE GERMAN! Fans are torn but Christian likes what he sees as JB goes to a corner. Luchasaurus storms over, drags him up, but JB CHOPS! Luchasaurus doesn’t flinch, he sits JB up on top to DECK him to the floor! Fans rally as Luchasaurus clears off the timekeeper’s table! Luchasaurus brings the table over and Christian wants Luchasaurus to put him through the table! Fans chant, “WE WANT TABLES!” and Luchasaurus gut wrenches JB up.

JB fights free before disaster strikes, and he ROCKS Luchasaurus! Luchasaurus POSTS JB in return! Fans boo as Luchasaurus refreshes the count. Luchasaurus drags JB up and then swings, but JB ducks! Luchasaurus’ hand hits POST! JB grabs that arm and wraps it around the post! Fans fire up as JB BOOTS the arm! Luchasaurus staggers away, JB refreshes the count then pursues. JB KICKS the bad arm, CLUBS it, then wrenches it, but Luchasaurus RAMS JB into the apron! And into railing! Luchasaurus drags JB up to whip him hard into railing! JB goes down in a heap and Luchasaurus refreshes the count.

Fans rally as Luchasaurus drags JB up for an APRON BACK SUPLEX! Christian likes what he sees while AEW goes picture in picture.

JB crawls into the ring but Luchasaurus stands on his back. Luchasaurus digs his heel in but JB endures. Luchasaurus stomps JB down, then pulls at the KT tape! Luchasaurus takes those strips off, then stands JB up so he can CLUB him on the back! JB writhes on the mat but he refuses to give up. Luchasaurus drags JB up but JB throws body shots! Fans fire up but Luchasaurus CLUB SJB, then suplexes to TOSS JB! JB writhes more and Luchasaurus paces. Luchasaurus stalks JB to a corner, watches him stand up, and then RAMS into him! JB falls over and Luchasaurus roars. Luchasaurus drags JB up and CHOPS him!

JB sputters but he CHOPS back! Luchasaurus whips JB corner to corner hard, and JB tumbles and lands on his head! Luchasaurus drags JB out of the corner to loom over him. Luchasaurus stands on JB’s face for a cover, TWO! Luchasaurus stands on JB’s face again but JB moves around. Luchasaurus digs his heel in, it’s basically a choke now and the ref counts. Luchasaurus steps off, but then stands on JB for another cover, TWO! Luchasaurus’ foot is in JB’s face but he bench presses it away! Dynamite returns to single picture as JB fights and gets free! Luchasaurus runs in but JB ducks and Luchasaurus POSTS himself!

Luchasaurus tumbles out and towards the table. Fans fire up as JB builds speed, JB DIVES! But Luchasaurus catches JB, for a CHOKE- RANA into the POST! Luchasaurus wobbles but Christian tries to stay confident. But JB fireman’s carries?! Luchasaurus is too big for that, especially with JB’s bad back. Christian says this is what he meant about JB has no brains. Luchasaurus gut wrenches but JB slips off! JB ROCKS Luchasaurus, Luchasaurus choke grips but JB WRINGS the arm and SUPERKICKS! Luchasaurus wobbles on the apron, JB RAMS into him! JB builds speed to SUNSET FLIP POWREBOMB Luchasaurus through the table!!

Fans lose their minds and Christian freaks out! That should be a disqualification! But the fine print is that Luchasaurus introduced the table, it was fair game! Fans rally as JB drags Luchasaurus up out of the wreckage and into the ring. But Christian Cage storms off commentary to go down the ramp! Christian shouts at JB but JB stares him down. Luchasaurus sits up like a dead man, and JB knows it! JB rushes in to SUPERKICK! And SUPERKICK! JB runs but Luchasaurus pops him for a FLAPJACK and LARIAT! Fireman’s carry, POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO!?! JB survives and fans fire up!

But JB throws body shots! JB slips out to CLUB Luchasaurus! Luchasaurus sits on the top rope and JB CLUBS him again. JB climbs up behind Luchasaurus, he punches away on Luchasaurus’ head! Fans count all the way to TEN, and then JB puts Luchasaurus in a Tree of Woe. JB goes corner to corner, but Luchasaurus headscissors to SPIKE JB! And then BUCKLE BOMB RAZOR’S EDGE!

No one can believe it, but Luchasaurus lives! But JB CLUBS away on Luchasaurus, into the SNARE TRAP!! Luchasaurus drags himself and JB over, Christian is there to shout at him to keep going, but JB pulls Luchasaurus’ arm back! Luchasaurus reaches with the other, ROPEBREAK! JB lets go and tries to drag Luchasaurus back. But Christian anchors Luchasaurus’ arm! JB is furious and he goes out after Christian, but the ref stops him. JB goes up, Christian distracts, and Luchasaurus choke grips! SUPER CHOKE SLAM!!! And then a torture rack, to the EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT!! Cover, Luchasaurus wins!!

Winner: Luchasaurus, by pinfall

Captain Charisma gets a huge assist in this, and Luchasaurus stands tall! Is this the end of Jungle Boy’s mission of revenge? Or will he come back even more determined?

 

Backstage interview with The Firm.

Renee is with Ethan Page, Stokely Hathaway, and surprisingly, Jose the Assistant to La Faccion Ingobernable. It seems there is cause for celebration as a big deal has just been finalized. And then Matt Hardy storms in, Private Party behind them, and Hardy demands to know what they’ve done! Stokely says Hardy wanted his boys free, so they’re free! And guess what? Stokely purchased Private Party’s contracts using The Firm’s allowance, so now those contracts belong to Stokely! Hardy said he wanted them free from the likes of The Firm, too! So then how about Hardy fights All Ego in Toronto, the contracts on the line!

Everyone’s fired up, and Ethan says he’s down to fight in Toronto any time! Hardy cares about Private Party, right? Damn right he does! Then let them fight their own battles. Isiah Kassidy’s been smirking at Ethan, so how about a fight on Rampage this Friday? If Kassidy wins, the Private Party is free of The Firm. Hardy and Marq Quen pump up Kassidy to whip that ass. But then Ethan says in return, when Ethan wins, Hardy also belongs to The Firm! That seems to change things, but Hardy still pumps Kassidy up. Then they can do the Hardy Party right! Will Kassidy go on a Rampage and win their right to party?

 

WARJOE VS The Factory!

The dominant duo of the AEW TNT Champion and the ROH World TV Champion are back in action again, but we already have QT Marshall and his team in the ring. QT has a mic to say, “So WARJOE, huh? That’s how creative those two are? I mean, you take both your names and shorten them to put it together. War, Joe. War, Joe.” Fans chant for “WAR~ JOE!” and here they come! Will the Maestro of Mayhem and the Samoan Submission Specialist prove that a team by any other name would still kick major ass?

The teams sort out and QT sends Aaron Solo at Joe? Solo’s not even his tag partner! Joe TOSSES Solo, then QT and Comoroto attack! The ref rings the bell, Comoroto kicks Wardlow out but Joe isn’t bothered by QT’s haymakers. Wardlow drags Comoroto out, Joe atomic drops QT and BOOTS him down! SENTON! Wardlow smacks Comoroto off the apron, then CLUBS him down! Joe JABS and JABS and JABS away on QT to sit him down. Joe then drags QT up to the top rope, but Comoroto attacks! Joe CHOPS Comoroto! And CHOPS! And HEABUTTS! Comoroto falls out of the ring, but QT LEAPS! Only for Joe to walk out of the way.

Fans fire up and Joe tags Wardlow in! They mug QT, Wardlow uppercuts then RAMS QT, and repeat! Wardlow whips, QT KICKS back! Fans cheer for “WARD~LOW!” but QT says up theirs! But he turns around into a HEADBUTT! Wardlow then winds up to LARIAT QT down! QT flounders but tags Comoroto. Wardlow dodges to OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! And then OVERHEAD again! Wardlow clinches but Comoroto BELL CLAPS! Comoroto RAMS into Wardlow in the corner, then again and again! Comoroto lets off, scoops Wardlow, but Wardlow slips off, shoves and SPINEBUSTERS!

Tag to Joe and fans fire up! Joe gets Comoroto into the drop zone for Wardlow to SWANTON BOMB!! Fans are thunderous for the COQUINA CLUTCH!! Comoroto is OUT, WARJOE wins!

Winners: WARJOE, by submission

The match is over, but the fun’s just beginning! QT staggers in, Joe grabs him by the head and feeds him to Wardlow! POWERBOMB! Fans want that “ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!” so WARJOE obliges! Joe feeds QT to Wardlow again, but here comes The Embassy! Prince Nana laughs as he leads Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona out. Nana says, “Ladies and gentlemen, WARJOE!” Those guys are so disappointing, sticking their noses where it doesn’t belong: in Embassy business! Cage takes the mic to say they’re cutting the symphony crap off. No one wants to see that again. Fans boo in disagreement.

But Cage says no one wants to see WARJOE interfere when The Embassy had FTR right where they wanted them! Fans boo in disagreement again. Cage says in fact, is FTR even here? Cage hasn’t seen them. Knowing them, if it was up to Cage, he wouldn’t even let them into Canada! But wait! HERE’S FTR! The ROH, IWGP and AAA Tag Team Champions are in Toronto and Toronto is thunderous for them! Dax Harwood has a mic but he loves the raucous crowd here tonight. But see, there’s three Embassy, but WARJOE just had a hard ass night of work here! Dax can’t let them work Friday, too.

So FTR has the perfect partner for this match. He’s an Ontario native, and Rampage on Friday is what? Cash Wheeler does the math. Ten? TEN! TEN! Fans like where this is going! This is The Pinnacle, after all. SHAWN SPEARS is back! Fans fire up as the Perfect Ten, PERFECT10N, the Chair Man, the missing piece of The Pinnacle, makes his return to AEW! And he grabs Solo to feed him to FTR’s BIG RIG!! Fans fire up as the Embassy bails for now. Will the Pinnacle go on a Rampage and take down The Machine and the Gates of Agony?

 

Backstage interview with the Jericho Appreciation Society.

Tony Schiavone is with Matt Menard, Angelo Parker and of course, the ROH World Champion, Chris Jericho, ahead of the ROH World Championship main event. Parker tells Bryan Danielson, “You’re a piece of garbage. Man, I wish I could stand here and say everything that’s happened recently has been strictly business, but that would make me a liar. Bryan, you made this personally by constantly trying to poach Daniel Garcia. YOU made this personal when you broke up our happy family.”

Menard shouts at Garcia! Then he gets quiet as he asks, “Do you think this is fun for us? Do you think it was fun for us when we sent you a giant, steaming piece of humble pie? I PROMISE YOU… It hurt us a lot more than it hurt you.” Chris Jericho says Garcia is family to them. He’s a son to Menard & Parker and a little brother to Jericho. And Bryan, last week, you forced Jericho to have to hurt his little brother. Garcia hasn’t returned Jericho’s calls or texts and it is tearing Jericho apart. Jericho has said sports entertainers beat pro-wrestlers every time. Schiavone again says it’s more like “systematic cheating.” Oh, of course you would, Schiavone.

But tonight, Jericho vows to be The Lionheart, “the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Stu Hart’s Dungeon. I’m gonna out wrestle you, Danielson. I’m gonna out fight you, Danielson. And I’m gonna leave T-Ront still Ring of Jericho Champion. The Ring of Jericho Era has arrived. All Honor the Ocho.” Will Jericho keep his promise and play things like a pro-wrestler? Or will he be unable to hep himself and do things like a sports entertainer?

 

Swerve Strickland VS Billy Gunn w/ The Acclaimed!

“Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” At least, that’s what Swerve wants it to be. But he isn’t here about houses, scissors, rapping or anything fun like that. Swerve wants to BREAK Daddy Ass so he can get back at Max Caster, Anthony Bowens and those AEW World Tag Team Championships. But first, Platinum Max drops another diss track! “Acclaimed on the mic, I’m a beast with words. Billy Gunn about to beat down Sneaky Swerve! Yo, you gonna need a new nose. Have your face swollen, lookin’ blacker than Trudeau’s! You wear fake gold, you’re a poser. How you gonna be a hoe in a hoser? Got the whole place laughing at you. We put you on the ice like Austin Matthews!”

Bowens gets the mic to say, “TOOOORONTOOOOOO~! The Acclaimed… have arrived! SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS!” And he does~! But will this be Daddy’s House? Or will Swerve be the rock that crushes his scissors?

The bell rings and fans sing, “OH~ SCISSOR ME, DADDY~!” Billy revels in it and Swerve says okay. Billy takes off the number one selling shirt to show off those abs! Billy and Swerve get in each other’s face and Swerve talks some trash. Swerve shoves Billy but Billy ROCKS him with a right! Billy bumps Swerve off buckles, then brings Swerve into a headlock. Swerve powers Billy to ropes, powers out of the hold, but Billy runs him over! Fans fire up and Billy shows off the Deep V! Things speed up, Billy hurdles and he runs Swerve over! Then Billy shows off more hip! Swerve is flustered, Billy whips him but Swerve goes up and out and elbows back.

Swerve slingshots in to dropkick a leg out! Swerve swaggers now while fans boo and AEW goes picture in picture.

Billy bails out, Swerve goes out and takes aim from around the way. Swerve runs up to CHOP BLOCK! Billy hobbles away, Swerve reels him back in to RAM him into steel steps! Swerve then drags Billy up with a fishhook to the face! The ref reprimands, Swerve lets off with a shove, then he puts Billy in the ring. Swerve covers, ONE!! Billy’s still got it but Swerve goes after a leg. Swerve has a unique toehold, he CLUBS Billy, and then he wraps Billy up with a chinbar so he can throw shots into the ribs. Swerve shifts to go for an arm, and he whips, but Billy reverses. Billy runs in but into a BOOT! Swerve goes up for a FLYING STOMP to the leg!

Billy goes down and Swerve smirks as he stalks Billy. Swerve drags Billy around by the bad leg to stand on it, and then SMASH the knee! Billy clutches his leg but Swerve mocks the singing. Swerve stomps Billy more, drags him around and gets the legs to go after the bad knee. Billy fights but Swerve pulls on the leg. Billy pulls hair to bring Swerve in for haymakers! Swerve lets go of the leg and Dynamite returns to single picture. Billy hobbles up but Swerve is after his leg. Swerve CLUBS the thigh, then he facelocks. But Billy suplexes first! Swerve slips out and shoves Billy out of the ring! Fans boo while Billy clutches his leg again.

Swerve aims, slingshots and KNEE DROPS Billy right there! Swerve taunts the fans and then gets in the ring. Billy hobbles, drags himself up and gets on the apron at 7 of 10. Swerve brings Billy in to throw body shots! Fans boo and Billy flops down onto the mat. Fans rally, “Let’s Go, Daddy!” but Swerve fishhooks Billy. Swerve runs but into a scoop and POWERSLAM! Billy is down again and Swerve drags himself to a corner. Fans fire up as Billy rises, and Swerve rushes in, into a LARIAT! And another! Billy suplexes to JACKHAMMER! Billy shows he’s still got it, and he drags Swerve back up. Billy tells Swerve… “SCISSOR IT!” Billy runs but Swerve dodges!

Swerve gets to another corner, runs back in, but he blocks a boot for a KNEE JAMMER! Billy hobbles, Swerve SOMERSAULT COMPLETE SHOTS! Fans boo but Swerve goes up the corner. Swerve says scissor this. KILL STOMPS!! Cover, TWO!?! Billy survives and Swerve can’t believe it! Fans fire up for Billy but Swerve aims from a corner. Billy rises, Swerve has a wily grin and he runs in, HOUSE- NO, Billy swats that away to roll Swerve, and then MILLION DOLLAR- NO, arm-drag to a cover, WITH ROPES! SWERVE STEALS THE WIN!!

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall

Fans boo but here come The Acclaimed! They didn’t like how Swerve did Daddy Ass dirty. They go to Billy’s side to check that leg but Swerve tells them all to “SUCK IT!” But The Acclaimed try to cheer Billy up. They… “HOLD ON A SECOND!” Really? Mark Sterling comes out with Tony Nese and another petition. Sterling sarcastically says, “Sorry, where you guys about to scissor in there? Yikes.” But that means they ignored his emails. They have a very important document here. This has been issued to them by the greatest country in the world, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Toronto boos but Sterling says this document says he now owns the term, “SCISSOR ME” in professional wrestling! That means The Acclaimed can no longer do the hand symbols, they can no longer say the words, “Scissor Me,” and they can no longer sell their shirts! Fans tell Sterling off but Sterling tells the “potty mouths” to quiet down. Wait, hey! They can’t do what they’re doing! The Acclaimed go to scissor finger, but Sterling says fine! Do it! Because when they do, Sterling can sue them so hard, they’ll be stuck in the courts for months and have to forfeit their titles! Sterling says he is willing to work with them on this, though. There are some ideas.

“But until then, folks… SCISSOR ME, DADDY NESE!” And they do scissor! They rub it all in our faces, but is Sterling implying The Acclaimed will have to put up the titles to get back their favorite catchphrase?

 

Backstage interview with MJF.

Alex Marvez notes that last week, we started seeing a different side to Maxwell Jacob Friedman. After his win against Wheeler Yuta, Yuta offered a handshake, and it appeared MJF actually seriously considered that offer. That is, until The Firm attacked. And it was rather curious seeing MJF interact with William Regal during that moment. Just what is happening? MJF wants to explain but Stokely steps in to say, “Max, we did it! We caught Yuta lacking and we put that boy to sleep!” MJF, “Hey, I get it, dude! This is great! The ol’ Dynamite trope, I’m in the middle of an interview and you interrupt me. That’s hysterical!” MJF is sure everyone else finds this so funny.

But y’know who doesn’t? Daddy MJF doesn’t. Now Daddy MJF is gonna have to put Stokely on timeout. Okay, bud? And by the way, strike two. Strike one was when The Firm got involved in MJF’s business when he didn’t ask them to. If Stokely does that again, strike three, MJF will have to fire him. “So now here’s what’s gonna happen. For job security purposes, what you should do is take your Carlton Banks wardrobe wearing ass outta my shot. Buh-bye. Buh-bye, thank you.” MJF then turns to Marvez to finish the interview. You wanna know about MJF and Regal? “The Villain, right? Willie, by British little buddy, in my world, you’re about as villainous as Mary Poppins.”

MJF and Regal have a dark past, one Regal probably doesn’t remember while he was up on his high horse. But MJF assures us, Regal does not want to be reminded of it, and MJF is not afraid to tell. And for Yuta, was MJF going to shake his hands? Quite frankly, MJF isn’t even sure. He’s been doing a lot of self-reflection this week, and he has come to terms with the fact that at a very young age, MJF had to learn the hard way that nice guys finish last. And he’s no idiot. He knows everyone in the back hates his guts, probably wants him dead, and that makes up a large number of the fans, too.

But guess what? You don’t have a clue what it’s like to be MJF, waking up every morning, splashing water in his face, looking in the mirror and knowing he has no choice but to be the bad guy! MJF has broken his hand many times punching his own reflection. So if you don’t like him, TOUGH SH*T! Cuz guess what? When MJF walks through the curtain, he doesn’t like himself either! But that is what it takes to be world champion, then by hook or by crook, he’ll do it. He is the man with the plan, the man with the chip, and the man… who is a generational talent. We may have in fact seen a new side to MJF. Will this be what MJF needs to become AEW World Champion?

 

AEW returns with Tony Schiavone in the ring.

Schiavone says, “We’re live on Dynamite, and I don’t mind telling ya, in front of the greatest wrestling fans in the world here in Toronto, Canada, but next week, we are live on a Tuesday night, and we will be live in Cincinnati with a world title bout between Jon Moxley and Hangman Adam Page. With that in mind, the AEW Champion of the World, Jon… Moxley!” The Maniac makes his entrance from the crowd like always and fans fire up as he goes to the ring. Schiavone says we are six days away from seeing Moxley defend the title in his hometown, and not just against anyone but against a former world champion in Hangman Page.

Moxley says, “After three years, DAMN it’s good to be in Toronto!” Toronto cheers to have him here, too! “And for much of that three years, I have been the AEW World Champion, and they have come from far and wide, in all shapes and sizes and styles, to try and knock me from off the top of the mountain. They want what I got, but they ain’t walked a mile in my shoes. See, being world champion ain’t all fun ‘n’ games, it ain’t easy. You got a target on your back, everybody wants something from you, your time, your energy. You live every day in physical pain.

“Everybody wants to see you fall, and while other guys get there and they can’t handle it, they crumble under the pressure and self-destruct, some faster than others… The world champion does not have the luxury of being anxious, does not have the luxury of fear or doubt or hesitation or second guesses. Being the world champion is a dirty, dirty job, and you gotta be ruthless and indiscriminate. But gaddamn, I love this job.” And that brings Moxley to “our boy, The Cowboy, Hangman Page.” But speaking of, here he comes! Fans fire up as Hangman gets some pyro as he makes his way out to the ring!

Hangman circles with Moxley and he holds his hand out. Moxley hands over the mic and Hangman says, “Whatever you have to say about me, I want you to say it to my face. No, no, actually… You said it all last week. You said you respected who I was in the ring, you said you respected me as a person. And I would be lying if I didn’t tell you that coming from you, that meant the world to me. Because I have watched you for these past three years. And I’ve come to respect who you are in the ring and who you are outside of it, too. You are a hell of a champion, a hell of a father, a hell of a husband.

“And there have been times in the past three years when I looked at you, and I saw the kind of man I wanted to be.” Fans notice MJF is in the VIP box, though, holding onto his chip. Hangman says MJF can watch all he wants but he better listen. “Last week, you shattered the illusions I had about you when you called me a ‘nice kid.’ Is that how you feel about me, huh? You think I’m a kid? After all the niceties, the compliments, you wanna call me a kid? Is that how you feel about me? Answer me, I’m asking you a question! Am I a kid to you?” Moxley says, “That’s exactly what I think about you.” MJF chuckles at that.

Moxley says Hangman isn’t the same guy who knocked him off a 20 foot ladder one year ago. Next week in Cincy, if Hangman gets the shot to take Mox out, Mox doesn’t think Hangman has it in him to pull the trigger. Hangman says Mox might be right. He isn’t the same guy he was this time last year. Hangman hesitated in May and it cost him the title. He went through the Trios Tournament with his best friends and he failed! He’s had to watch week after week as his friends seemingly disappear. Hangman’s old friends have disappeared. And for all that Hangman did, he is left with nothing!

So no, he’s not the same! He’s angry, frustrated, can’t sleep at night, depressed and anxious! The medicine isn’t working, but Hangman is still here because he is a MAN! He is 31 years old, a former world tag team champion, a former world champion. He’s watched family members be lowered into the ground, and he’s brought new life into this world, just like Moxley. Hangman is a husband, father, has been choked until his face turned blue, and has been beaten in that same face over and over, but he keeps coming back because he is a MAN, DAMMIT!! Hangman even punches himself a couple times to get the point across! MJF’s even enjoying popcorn now.

Hangman knows what he has to do in Cincy, and he doesn’t care if Moxley’s cousins are there, if Moxley’s sister is there, or if his mother’s there. Hangman will beat Moxley within an inch of his life to take back the thing he never should’ve let slip away. And look at Hangman now! He has nothing but a shot and his word. Well, that and a bloody bruise he gave himself. But Hangman says next Tuesday, he has his shot, he gives Moxley his word, and he vows to be the NEW AEW World Champion. MJF is loving where this is going. Hangman wipes the blood from his brow and wipes it on Moxley’s shirt to say that is his word. But fans chant for MJF as he leans in with the chip.

Hangman says unlike MJF, Hangman wanted to come out here to tell Moxley all that face to face, man to man. Hangman drops the mic and pushes past Moxley, but then turns around to look at Moxley as he paces. These two leave it at this, but will there be any stopping this war in Cincinnati?

 

AEW hears from Chris Jericho and Bryan Danielson.

The Wizard says, “In just one week, a sports entertainer took over the entire history of ROH, changed the narrative.” The American Dragon says, “I am honored to be considered one of the many, as one of THE BEST ROH World Champions of all time. It made me who I am today.” Jericho says Ali VS Frazier, Steamboat VS Flair, those are all trumped by Jericho VS Danielson. It has been five YEARS since Jericho has wrestled in his home country of Canada, and he expects nothing less than a hero’s welcome. Bryan shouts, “I lose battles, Chris Jericho, but I don’t lose the war!” Jericho will pillage the legend of Bryan Danielson, but Bryan vows to take the ROH title where it belongs and win this war.

ROH World Championship: Chris Jericho VS Bryan Danielson!

Surprisingly, Bobby Cruise is willing to make the introductions for this match given what Jericho did to him last time. But Jericho also vows to “pillage” and ruin the legacies of every great ROH World Champion on the list. Will he continue that blasphemous crusade against ROH? Or will #THEOCHO stop here in the tiebreaker round?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and the bell rings. The Code of Honor is offered by Jericho. Bryan kicks it away! Then he ducks the kick to roll Jericho up, TWO! Bryan EuroUppers, Jericho CHOPS, repeat! Bryan then HEADBUTTS, HEADBUTTS and HEADBUTTS! Bryan fires off body shots and knees against the ropes, then he whips. Jericho reverses but Bryan turns dropkick into a CATAPULT! Jericho goes up and out and falls to the floor! Fans fire up and Bryan builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp! Bryan drags Jericho up and scoops him to SLAM him on the floor!

Fans finish singing Judas on their own since Jericho used his Lionheart theme. Bryan puts Jericho in the ring, but Jericho CHOPS back. Bryan HEADBUTTS then throws body shots in the corner. Bryan SOBATS, KICKS, and climbs up to rain down fists! Fans count along, Bryan gets all TEN in! But Jericho CHOPS again! And again! And again! Jericho climbs up to then rain down fists of his own! Jericho gets TEN, then he lets off. Bryan CHOPS back! And CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS! Bryan KICKS Jericho in the corner, CHOPS, but Jericho CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Jericho has Bryan in a corner, hoists him up top, and he CHOPS again!

Jericho climbs up, fans fire up, and Jericho throws more hands! Jericho gets all TEN, then SUPER STEINERS! Fans fire up as Jericho flexes and AEW goes picture in picture.

Jericho soaks up the cheers from Toronto while Bryan gets to ropes. Jericho storms up on Bryan, SLAPS him around, but Bryan trips Jericho up! Bryan ties up Jericho’s legs, KNEES him in the side, and then flexes on him. Bryan throws down more KNEES, then he fishhooks Jericho! The ref counts, Bryan lets off at 4 and reminds him he has until 5! Bryan then stands Jericho up, shoves him and RAMS into him, then shoves him to CLUB him on the back! Jericho falls to his knees, and Bryan KICKS him in the chest! And KICKS, and KICKS, and KICKS! Bryan fires off KICKS from both sides, then BUZZSAWS! Jericho falls over, Bryan covers, ROPEBREAK!

Bryan is annoyed but he drags Jericho up to shove and RAM into him again. And shove to CLUB him again! Jericho falls to his knees against ropes while Bryan soaks up the cheers. Bryan shouts out Jushin Thunder Liger with his pose, but Jericho CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Bryan CHOPS and KICKS in return! And SOBATS! Bryan scoops Jericho to SLAM him, then he covers, TWO! Bryan clamps on a rear bearhug to keep Jericho down. Jericho fights up, Bryan brings him around to HEADBUTT his back! Dynamite returns to single picture as Bryan shoves and CLUBS Jericho again! And then another shove, but Jericho ROCKS Bryan!

Jericho ROCKS, CHOPS and whips, but Bryan reverses. Jericho catches Bryan for a DDT! Bryan goes to the apron, Jericho triangle jump DROPKICKS him down! Fans fire up while Bryan goes to the floor. Jericho runs again, triangle jump PLANCHA! Fans fire up more and Jericho drags Bryan up to CHOP! And CHOP! And whip into railing! Jericho brings Bryan into the ring, climbs up the corner, and he blows a kiss to the fans. Jericho reaches the top, but Bryan trips Jericho up! Bryan throws hands while fans rally for “O~CHO! O~CHO!” Bryan climbs up to underhook the arms, for a BUTTERFLY SUPERPLEX! And then the LEBELL LOCK!!

Jericho endures, Bryan throws elbows into the ribs! Bryan goes back to the crossface, Jericho pries at the hold, and Menard futilely tries to push the ropes towards Jericho. Fans rally up, Jericho moves around and he rains down fists on Bryan! Jericho has the legs, for the WALLS OF JERICHO!! Fans are thunderous as Bryan endures now! Jericho sits deep on the Walls but Bryan grits his teeth. Bryan turns, slips through, grabs Jericho’s legs and pushes Jericho down! Bryan throws hands into the abs! And then forearms at Jericho’s face! Bryan drags Jericho by his legs, to steal THE WALLS OF JERICHO!!

Bryan sits deep and shouts “YES!” Fans are torn, “YES!” “NO!” but Jericho works to turn! Jericho tucks Bryan into a cradle, TWO!! Bryan ROUNDHOUSES Jericho down! Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives but Bryan keeps his cool. Bryan wags his finger but fans know, “This is Awesome!” Bryan steps over Jericho to hook him up, for HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Fans duel, “YES!” “NO!” “YES!” “NO!” Jericho blocks the elbow to fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Jericho grits his teeth and goes to a corner. Jericho storms up to KICK Bryan down! Then LIONSAULT FLOPS as Bryan moves!

Bryan hurries up top and leaps, FLYING KNEE! Bryan resets on the other corner, for another FLYING KNEE! Fans are torn as Bryan goes up again. Jericho stands, but he CODE BREAKERS Bryan out of the air!! Cover, TWO!! Bryan survives and the JAS can’t believe it! Bryan and Jericho sits up and they throws hands. Bryan HEADBUTTS, Jericho throws more hands but Bryan throws more HEADBUTTS! They stand up, Jericho CHOPS but Bryan CHOPS! They CHOP back and forth, but Jericho backs Bryan to a corner. Jericho CHOPS, whips corner to corner, but Bryan goes up and over, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but so does Jericho!

Bryan ducks a Judas Effect! Jericho ducks the roundhouse! Jericho shoves Bryan into the ref!! The ref falls out of the ring, Bryan ducks another haymaker, DOUBLE LARIATS take both men down! Fans are thunderous but the JAS hurry to grab the ROH belt! Menard slides that in to Jericho, Jericho takes hold of it, is he going to be a sports entertainer in the end? Jericho aims as Bryan slowly rises, but Bryan stares Jericho down. Wait! Here comes DANIEL GARCIA! He snatches the title from Jericho! Fans are torn as Garcia tells Jericho to do this the right way. Jericho shoves Garcia, Garcia shoves back, Bryan BUSAIKU KNEES Jericho!!

But then Garcia CLOBBERS Bryan?!?! Fans are freaking out! Is Garcia still part of the JAS!? Menard & Parker get the ref in the ring, Jericho crawls to the cover, and Jericho wins!

Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall (still ROH World Champion)

The ROH Pure Champion stays loyal to the JAS and he hugs it out with Jericho! But here comes the BCC! Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli and William Regal will not stand for this! They chase off the JAS, is this the end of the war? Or just another battle lost?

 

Backstage interview with Nyla Rose, Marina Shafir & Vickie Guerrero.

Renee is with The Vicious Vixens as they shine up the AEW TBS Championship, and Vickie makes sure Renee addresses Nyla as the AEW TBS Champion. But with all due respect, she isn’t actually champion yet. No need to worry about details, Renee. Cuz, isn’t she, though? Renee, this may be your first day on the job here, but possession is nine-tenths of the law. So to quote Stallone, “I AM the law!” But then in walks Anna Jay “A S.” Jay tells Nyla that she sees her parading with the belt, acting like it’s hers. Here’s an idea: Nyla should wrestle the sports entertainer, Anna Jay, this Friday on Rampage so that Jay can take the belt so she can show Nyla and Jade what a REAL champion looks like.

Vickie wants to discuss this but Nyla says no, it’s cool. Let’s remix this. So Anna Jay A S, show up on Friday, and Nyla will whoop that A S S. Will the Native Beast prove she can be a better fighting champion than Jade Cargill? Or will the UNDEFEATED and actual champion have something to say about this?

 

Toni Storm & Hikaru Shida VS Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter w/ Rebel!

A match meant to happen months ago finally happens in Toronto! The Lightning From Down Under & The Full Metal Warrior want to finally get some payback on The Doctor and her assistants, will they find such satisfaction here tonight? Or will Britt & Hayter earn themselves some golden opportunities against the Interim AEW Women’s World Champion and the now DUAL Regina de Wave and International Ribbon Tag Team Champion?

The teams sort out and Hayter starts against Shida. Hayter waves to Storm but Shida calls out Britt. Hayter shoves Shida, so Shida ties up with Hayter. They go around, fans rally for Hayter, but Shida shoves her down! Shida wants Britt, so Britt reaches out. Hayter reaches out, only to sucker punch Shida! They’re not gonna give Shida what she wants, and Hayter CLUBS Shida. Hayter ROCKS Shida, then sings, “O~ CANADA!” Hayter CHOPS, whips, but Shida shoots around, redirects and DROPKICKS Hayter down! Fans fire up and Shida puts Hayter in the corner. Tag to Storm and she fires off on Hayter!

Storm wrenches a pigtail to CLUB away on Hayter’s back! Fans fire up, the ref reprimands the hair pulling, so Storm lets Hayter go. Storm runs, BOOTS Hayter down, then drags her up to whip her into a corner. Storm runs in to UPPERCUT, then she trips Hayter up. Storm goes corner to corner but Britt anchors Storm! Fans boo but Hayter BOOTS Storm down! Fans like Hayter and cheer as she stomps and CLUBS away on Storm, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Hayter dusts off her hands, snap suplexes Storm and covers, TWO! Britt says Hayter’s so good, and Hayter drags Storm up. Hayter bumps Storm off buckles, tags in Britt, and Britt digs her boots into Storm! Hayter sucker punches Shida, Britt lets off and Britt pulls Storm into the post! Britt pulls and pulls but the ref counts. Britt lets off to argue with the ref, and so does Rebel, but Britt slides in to keep Storm from Shida. Britt taunts Shida, then tags in Hayter. They mug Storm, Hayter stomps a mudhole in, but the ref counts. Hayter lets off to then DECK Shida! Shida is furious and the ref reprimands, but Hayter just distracts so Britt can get a shot in.

Hayter runs in to CHOKE Storm while the ref is busy with Shida now. Hayter drags Storm up, whips her to ropes and runs her over! Hayter kicks Storm around, keeps between her and Shida, then wraps on a chinlock. Storm endures as Hayter thrashes her around and leans on the hold. Storm endures, fights back up, and she throws body shots. Hayter throws Storm by her hair! Hayter “apologizes” to the ref, then she CLUBS Storm. Storm ROCKS Hayter, Hayter ROCKS Storm, they go back and forth and then wobble. Hayter swings but Storm ducks to hit a NECKBREAKER! Hayter crawls over, Dynamite returns to single picture, hot tags to Britt and Shida!

Shida runs in, Britt ducks ‘n’ dodges and ripcords, but Shida blocks the rolling elbow! Shida knuckle locks to fire off forearm after forearm! Fans fire up as Shida whips and KNEES Britt down! Britt goes to a corner, Shida storms over to climb up and rain down fists! Fans count all the way to TEN, but Hayter grabs Shida! Shida CLUBS Hayter, to SUPERPLEX her in! But Britt kicks Shida, only for Shida to slip out of the fisherman, to suplex Britt onto Hayter! Fans fire up as Shida goes out to climb the ropes, for the SPRINGBOARD METEORA! Cover, TWO!! Britt survives but Shida keeps her focus.

Fans fire up as Shida aims, KATAN- NO! Britt blocks, Hayter reels Shida in, IRISH CURSE BACKBREAKER! Storm runs in, swings but into a clinch! IRISH- NO, Storm wheelbarrows into a BULLDOG! Britt runs in, spins Storm and fisherman’s, FISHERMAN SCREW! Rebel gives Britt the glove! Fans fire up but Shida ROCKS Britt first! Shida ROCKS Hayter, ROCKS Britt, repeat! Shida runs, but into DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Hayter runs to SLIDING LARIAT! Britt runs to CURB STOMP! Cover, but Storm breaks it in time!! Fans fire up, Hayter whips but Storm reverses to toss Hayter! Britt ROCKS Storm, but swings into a TORNADO DDT!

Shida hits the SLIDING ELBOW! Shida feeds Britt to Storm’s STORM ZERO PILEDRIVER! Storm drags Britt for Shida to cover, but Hayter barrels in to break it! Fans fire up and Hayter fires up! Hayter drags Storm up but gets a HEADBUTT! Shida goes up to FLYING ENZIGURI on Hayter! Storm goes out to TORNADO DDT Hayter to the floor! Shida brings Britt up, “This is Awesome!” FALCON- CRADLE! TWO!! Britt hurries to clamp onto the RINGS OF SATURN! LOCKJAW but Shida rolls it up! TWO!! Britt is furious, but Shida spins her to ROCK her! And then reels her in, FALCON ARROW!! Cover, but Britt flips it! TWO, Shida sits on it! TWO!!

They roll and roll, Shida has the cradle! SHIDA & STORM WIN!

Winners: Toni Storm & Hikaru Shida, by pinfall

The former AEW Women’s World Champion snatches this away from another former AEW Women’s World Champion! Will this earn Shida a shot at the Interim title? Or will she have to keep on fighting for that opportunity?

 

The Butcher & The Blade speak.

Andy Williams shouts, “Hey, Claudio! Hey, Mox! You crumbs! You tried to make Rush look bad by throwing around his kids.” Braxton Sutter says, “News flash, slick: good luck on Rampage this Friday when you’re in there with a couple of real men! The Butcher & The Blade, we kick ass!” Then they both shot, “FIGHT US!” back and forth. Bunny steps in to bite at the camera. Will the mercenaries of LFI take out the Blackpool Combat Club? Or will they be the ones taken out?

 

AEW All-Atlantic Championship: PAC VS Orange Cassidy!

The Bastard is still AEW’s first and only Double Champion, but through nefarious means each and every title match. He thought he hammered Orange Cassidy out of commission, but Freshly Squeezed is back for revenge! Will Cassidy be the one beating Pac to a pulp? Or will it be hammer time once again?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and Dynamite in Toronto has an explosive main event!

The bell rings, Pac dodges an Orange Punch! Pac SOBATS, KICKS, SOBATS again, then runs and SHOTGUNS Cassidy down! Pac roars, fans are torn, but Cassidy fires off forearms! Pac shoves Cassidy away to UPPERCUT him in the corner. Pac whips corner to corner, runs in and BOOTS Cassidy! Fans rally for “FRESHLY SQUEEZED!” but Pac taunts the fans to keep going. Pac brings Cassidy up, puts Cassidy’s hands in his pockets for him, and then mocks Cassidy with “devastating” shin kicks! Cassidy sighs, but Pac “powers up,” and “powers up,” more, but Cassidy SHOTGUNS him! And no-hands kips up!

Pac bails out, Cassidy builds speed and DIVES! But Pac catches him!? And turns that into a FALCON ARROW to the floor! Fans fire up and lose their minds while Pac blows snot on Cassidy. Pac pretends he can’t hear the fans while AEW goes picture in picture.

Pac paces while the ring count climbs. Pac drags Cassidy up, brings him around, and he grins as he RAMS Cassidy into railing! Pac BOOTS Cassidy, drags him up and then brings Cassidy around to put him in the ring. Pac stalks Cassidy, circles like the shark he is, and he BOOTS Cassidy down! Pac dares Cassidy to get up, and Cassidy sits up, into a mule kick! Cassidy sits up again, kicks feebly, but Pac just eggs everyone on. Pac stomps away on Cassidy, then drags him out of the ring to drop him on the floor. The ref reprimands but Pac drags Cassidy even further away! They go all the way up the ramp!

The ref hurries after them as they just about reach the stage. The ref reprimands, but Pac drags Cassidy up to scoop and TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER to the ramp!! Pac talks trash in Cassidy’s face, then tells the ref to go back to the ring already. The Bastard leaves Cassidy behind, wanting a ring count to start. The ref argues with Pac, but Cassidy is stirring as the count begins. Dynamite returns to single picture, fans rally for Cassidy, but he’s so far away! Cassidy rolls down the ramp! Genius! Cassidy is already back to ringside, and he flounders the rest of the way! We’re past 5 of 10, we’re at 7, and Cassidy staggers and falls at 8!

The count is 9, but Cassidy surges in at 9.99!! Pac puts on the BRUTALIZER!! Cassidy kicks and flails, he starts fading, but then a second wind helps Cassidy fight his way around to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Pac holds until 4! Pac is frustrated but the ref tells him to respect his authority. Pac cools off and he slides back out to go tot he timekeeper’s table. The ref intercepts him and tells him, “Not today!” We’ve seen this three times already, the ref knows to watch Pac. But Cassidy DIVES to take out Pac! And then again to DIVE for a TORNADO DDT!! Pac is bent and Cassidy puts him in! Cassidy runs, tilt-o-whirls, and DDTs!!

Fans are thunderous as Cassidy kips up, to ORANGE PUNCH!! Cover, TWO!?!? Pac survives impact after impact and Cassidy is beside himself! Fans rally, Cassidy goes to a corner and he goes up. “This is Awesome!” as Cassidy reaches the top. Cassidy watches Pac slow roll out to the apron, and Cassidy smirks. It’s a very Cassidy thing to do. Cassidy nods and adjusts, and he still leaps! But into a BOOT! Pac reels Cassidy in, but Cassidy turns that to an APRON BEACH BREAK!! Cassidy pushes Pac into the ring, he throws off the elbow pad, and fans fire up! Pac stands, for the ORANGE- NO, Pac ducks under to fireman’s carry! NORTHERN LIGHTS!

But Pac doesn’t cover, he wrenches to a BRUTALIZER!!! Cassidy endures as Pac pulls him back! Cassidy pushes through, rolls and gets the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Pac lets off in 4 and is even more frustrated. Pac has a bloody ear somehow, but he ignores that to go out. And he goes for the hammer! But then someone grabs Pac! Disguised as part of the ring staff, it’s DANHAUSEN~! The Very Nice, Very Evil Overlord is making sure this is fair and square! But he does… CURSE PAC!! Pac DECKS Danhausen! Pac blows snot at him, too! But then the ref gets in Pac’s face! Fans fire up as the ref tells Pac the law, so Pac hands the hammer over.

But while the ref puts that hammer back, Pac grabs a spare hammer from under the ring!! Pac aims at Cassidy, fans boo, but Cassidy RIGHT HOOKS first!! Cassidy grabs the hammer, the ref tells him not to do this, and Cassidy roars in anger. Cassidy grits his teeth, but he hands the hammer over. But Pac rolls Cassidy up! TWO!! Cassidy dodges to ORANGE PUNCH!! Cassidy is seething and fans are thunderous again! Cassidy reloads in the corner, roars with all his might, ORANGE PUNCH!!!! Cover, Cassidy wins!!

Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (NEW AEW All-Atlantic Champion)

The Bastard tried his nasty tricks, but they all backfired! We have a Freshly Squeezed champion, and that is Orange Cassidy! Orange confetti flies as the Best Friends get in the ring. They all HUG! GOT to give the people what they want! Will Cassidy take this, his first title in AEW, to new heights?


My Thoughts:

A great episode for AEW here, great first time in Canada for them, and some great stuff set up for the weeks to come. Great main event for the All-Atlantic Championship, but I was rather surprised it was the main event with the ROH title also on the card. But I suppose if there was going to be a new champ crowned, it works to make that celebration be the closing moment so fans finish Dynamite happy. And now, as I’ve been saying, I see Cassidy VS Ethan Page happening for this title, after we see Ethan VS Kassidy. That is an interesting way to riff on the “poaching” stories, and I’m not really sure which way that match will go, either result could be a lot of fun.

Speaking of the ROH title, again surprised that wasn’t the main, but again, probably didn’t wanna leave fans feeling sour. The match itself was awesome, but I was very disappointed that they had Garcia go back to JAS. Feels like a missed opportunity like with Britt VS Hayter but whatever, I suppose this keeps the lines clear in BCC VS JAS. If we get Garcia VS Bryan again, that’s fine, that’d be an awesome ROH Pure Championship match to see what these two can do under those rules. Who knows who faces Jericho next, though I’ve said who is still out there to face that I’d wanna see. There’s a lot of possibilities going to Full Gear, so who knows.

Great to see Renee showing up, she already had great interview promos with the various stars tonight. Great bit from Nyla and Anna Jay, that will be a fun match but I think Jade will show up to snatch the belt back. Somehow, someway, we get Jade VS Nyla for Full Gear. Good opening with Christian for him to get Heel heat with Toronto, and an awesome match from Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. But of course Christian interferes to help Luchasaurus win. JB VS Christian will have to wait for Full Gear at earliest because of Christian’s legit arm injury, but when that finally happens, it’ll be a great one.

WARJOE is now a thing, so that’s cool. Of course they beat The Factory, and of course The Embassy starts trouble. And of course FTR shows up to put a stop to that. But what a great surprise that Shawn Spears is back! The Pinnacle minus MJF is all Face, and they’re going to have a great match against The Embassy for Rampage. It could go either way, but since FTR already beat the Gates of Agony, I feel like Pinnacle wins to get past them once and for all. Great stuff out of Billy VS Swerve, including Caster’s rap. But of course Swerve cheats to win as he is the Heel in all this. I just can’t believe Sterling’s gone from MJF’s attorney to frivolous lawsuits to trademark squatting. That titles VS trademark is totally happening, though.

Great tag match from Storm & Shida VS Britt & Hayter. Great win for Shida to get her back into the AEW Women’s title conversation. She’s already got two belts, I don’t think she’ll get the AEW title as a third, but she would give Storm one hell of a match. I still think Full Gear should be Storm VS Hayter for some real hot stuff, all it takes is Hayter getting another win in the next couple weeks to be #1 contender (not that AEW’s own site has updated in weeks). And it’ll definitely be Hayter, not Britt, as Britt might be reserved as Saraya’s opponent for Saraya’s highly anticipated return to in-ring action, assuming Saraya gets cleared in time for Full Gear.

And we got some just incredible promos tonight! MJF putting Stokely in his place and then sharing all that about his self-esteem, that was wild stuff. And then we got great promos from Moxley and Hangman to hype up their title match next week. Hangman’s was stronger, but I just don’t see Moxley losing the title in his hometown. But at the same time, I don’t think it matters which one wins, MJF could/should totally cash in, just to see how fans will react. Fans might compel MJF to go Face, he’s already walking that line. And should MJF get that belt, then it works that Full Gear will be in New Jersey, which isn’t too far from New York, so it’ll practically be a home game for MJF when he takes on Mox, Hangman or both.

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Kenny Omega VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!

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

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

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

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

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

Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

The Learning Tree speaks.

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

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

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

 

MJF is here!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Toni Storm.

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

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

 

Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Brody King!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall

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

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

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

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

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

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

Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by pinfall

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

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

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

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

 

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

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

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

 

Exclusive sit-down interview with Rated FTR.

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Swerve Strickland heads to the ring!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

The Opps commandeer a camera!

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

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

 

Backstage interview with Jay White.

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Winners: Top Flight, by pinfall

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

 

Will Ospreay speaks.

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

 

Mark Briscoe VS Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis!

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

The bell rings and the fans rally for Briscoe. Callis claims he wasn’t going to come out again, but he was listening to Schiavone’s commentary and felt he was struggling so he’s here to help.

The Death Riders speak.

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

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

 

Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.

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

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

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

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

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

 

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

The fans cheer on “THUNDER TITS! THUNDER TITS!” while the teams sort out. Megan starts against Rosa, and Rosa embraces the new team name. The two circle, approach, and then Rosa dodges to headlock.

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


My Thoughts:

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

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

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

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

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

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

My Score: 8.9/10

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yuta drags Darius up, bumps him off buckles, then tags Pac. Pac stomps Darius down, kicks him around, then kicks Darius in the side! Pac stays between Darius and his team, taunts him, but Darius fires body shots. Darius UPPERCUTS, but Pac KICKS him down! Pac taunts the fans, then brings him up. Pac tags Yuta back in, Yuta CHOPS Darius, then Yuta snapmares Darius for a KNEE DROP! Cover, TWO! Yuta clamps onto Darius with a chinlock to keep him down.

BREAKING NEWS for April!

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

 

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.

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

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

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

 

Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.

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

 

Bandido VS Johnny TV!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Winner: Bandido, by pinfall

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

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

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

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

 

Megan Bayne speaks.

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

Toni Storm speaks.

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

 

Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!

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

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

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

Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall

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

 

Backstage interview with Don Callis.

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

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

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

 

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

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

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

 

Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall

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


My Thoughts:

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

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

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

My Score: 8.8/10
