AEW World Trios Championships: Death Triangle VS Best Friends!
The Bastard is no longer AEW’s one and only double champion as he lost the AEW All-Atlantic Championship to Orange Cassidy. And Cassidy said that was just the start!

AEW hears from Jon Moxley and Hangman Adam Page.
The Blue Eyed Battler says, “There is a sense of accomplishment coming back to Cincinnati, I left here with nothing. To come back as kind of a conqueror, there is a sense of satisfaction.” The Cowboy says he and Moxley have been in AEW three years now, “and in three years, I think we’ve beaten just about everyone there is to beat, except for each other. Last year in the Casino Ladder Match, at the end of the match, me and Moxley were on top of the ladder. Punches back and forth and back and forth, and who broke first? It wasn’t me.” Moxley says, “There is no man on this planet that is gonna walk into my home, my city, my home arena, and take anything outta my house. No effing way.”
Hangman says that title is Moxley’s, but the 18th is going to be his night. Angry, frustrated, battered and beaten, the Cowboy keeps coming back. But is this the Cowboy’s Comeback in the Maniac’s backyard?
Backstage interview with Britt Baker and friends.
Tony Schiavone says Toni Storm defends the Interim AEW Women’s World Championship against Hikaru Shida tonight, but The Doctor and her sidekicks are interested in watching that match. Britt says, “Interested? Mildly. ‘Extremely disgusted’ would be the right word, Tony, that Jamie Hayter or myself are not the current Interim Women’s World Champion.” Hayter says, “Mark our words: by the end of 2022, one of us will be Interim AEW Women’s World Champion.” Actually, jump ahead. One of them will be THE AEW Women’s World Champion, but that’s a whole ‘nother story. “Toni Time is over! Shida later!” Yours Truly, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD.
Interim AEW Women’s World Championship: Toni Storm VS Hikaru Shida!
Baker and Hayter aside, the Lightning From Down Under VS The Shining Samurai is a match ten YEARS in the making! They first faced off in Japan, and we saw them team up just last week, and now we see this clash come to AEW! Will Toni Time keep on keeping on? Or will Shida add a THIRD belt to her collection?
The introductions are made, the AEW title is raised, and interim or not, we see what it takes to reign in AEW!
The bell rings, fans rally up and the two shake hands to show there is respect here. Storm and Shida circle, fans duel, and the two tie up. Shida powers Storm to a corner, the ref counts, and Shida lets off fast. Storm and Shida reset as the dueling gets louder, and the two tie up again. Storm headlocks, Shida throws body shots but Storm hits a headlock takeover. Shida headscissors, Storm moves around to hop and pop free to then get a headlock again. Shida fights up, throws body shots, and powers out, only for Storm to run her over! Storm speeds things up, rolls and kicks Shida, then whips. Shida slips around, runs again and DROPKICKS Storm down!
Fans fire up with Shida, she goes out and climbs the ropes. Storm DECKS Shida first! Storm then runs to HIP ATTACK Shida to the floor! Fans fire up for that Sweet Hip Music as AEW goes picture in picture.
Storm drags Shida up and RAMS her into the apron! Storm puts Shida in, storms up on her, and stomps her around. Shida throws body shots but Storm ROCKS Shida with forearms.

Storm drags Shida up, wrenches the hair again, and Storm THROWS Shida to a corner! Storm storms up on Shida, drags her up and wrenches the hair again, to TOSS Shida across the way! Cover, TWO! Storm clamps onto Shida and pulls the arms back for a grounded motorcycle stretch!
Shida endures, moves around, reaches out with a foot, but Storm pulls on the arms for a proper motorcycle stretch. Shida fights up to her feet, turns things around, but Storm turns it back around! Storm makes Shida take a knee, then she shifts to a chinlock to grind Shida to the mat. Shida moves and gets the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Storm lets off but Storm gives Shida some toying kicks. Storm drags Shida up, for a HALF HATCH SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Storm is annoyed but she drags Shida up. Shida throws body shots but Storm CLUBS her. Shida throws forearms, Storm throws them back, and Dynamite returns to single picture.
Shida gets the edge with a flurry of forearms and fans fire up! Shida runs, but Storm kicks low! Storm runs, but into a RANA! Fans fire up and Shida runs in, blocks the lariat and ROCKS Storm! Shida whips and KNEES down Storm! Fans fire up as Storm goes to a corner, and Shida climbs up to rain down fists! Shida goes all the way to TEN, and then pushes Storm out. Shida adjusts and jumps, MISSILE DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Shida hurries to reel Storm in but Storm wrenches out to fire a forearm! Shida gives it back, they go back and forth, and fans rally with each shot! Storm HEADBUTTS but Shida ENZIGURIS! Both women are down and fans love it!
A standing count starts but Shida grits her teeth as she goes to a corner. Shida goes out to the apron and fans rally up. Shida climbs, but Storm CHOPS her first! Storm climbs up and brings Shida up. Storm has a gut wrench but Shida fights free. Shida HEADBUTTS and HEADBUTTS and HEADBUTTS! Storm falls back, Shida adjusts, METEORA! Shida drags Storm up to gut wrench and DOMINATOR! Cover, TWO!! Storm survives but Shida roars as she resets! Shida suplexes but Storm slips out! Storm waistlocks, Shida switches and shoves to then go to the corner, VENUS SHOOTÂ misses! GERMAN SUPLEX!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall (still Interim AEW Women’s World Champion)
But here come Hayter & Rebel! Hayter stomps Storm down! Rebel has a crutch, and here comes Britt from the stage! They’re ruining the celebration, especially with Britt wearing a Steelers jersey in Cincy! Britt swaggers her way to the ring while Hayter and Rebel stomp away, but wait! Here comes SARAYA! She runs down and Britt dares her to do something! So Saraya CLOBBERS Britt! Saraya fires off hands, Britt hits back, they brawl while Rebel CRACKS Storm with that crutch! But Saraya brings Britt along to TOSS her over the railing!! Hayter hurries to help Britt, but here comes RIHO!!
Fans fire up as the former AEW Women’s World Champion rushes in! Riho dodges the crutch swing to SHOTGUN Rebel! Hayter runs in but Riho dumps her out! Riho goes up top, and SUPER CROSSBODIES Hayter down! Fans are thunderous as Riho saves Storm and helps her up. Storm hugs Riho in thanks, will Riho earn herself some Toni Time down the line? And just where have Britt and Saraya ended up brawling to the back?
WARJOE speaks!
In response to The Embassy’s attacks and the arrival of The Kingdom, the AEW TNT Champion, Wardlow, says he has “zero tolerance for disrespect. So now that you have, we get to teach you a lesson. And we can do it however you want: collectively, individually; either way, we are going to physically hurt you.” The ROH World Television Champion, Samoa Joe, dares them to “pick a championship. Your choice. I know right now you’re thinking to yourselves, ‘This is a golden opportunity.’ That cackling bird walking around ringside, she’s telling you, ‘Boys, this is our shot!'”
But Joe will explain to them what this really is: they are two men who have six million ways to die, and they still chose the wrong ones. Will the arrival of Maria Kanellis, Mike Bennett & Matt Taven soon turn into the departure of The Kingdom?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Renee Paquette is with Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood, and what an insane 2022 they’d had so far! The AAA World Tag Team Championships, the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships and even the ROH World Tag Team Championships, and they are still #1 contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships. When are they planning on adding to the collection? Dax knows they and Renee go way back, and for the better part of a decade, Cash & Dax have been wanting to become the Greatest Tag Team of All Time. Now, Dax doesn’t know if they’ll ever truly reach that goal, but 2022 is a great starting point.
Yes, they are the ROH, IWGPÂ and AAA World Tag Team Champions, but coming with that is a big target on their backs. So whether it’s AAA’s Dragon Lee & DralÃstico, ROH’s Gates of Agony, or even last week, the return of ROH’s The Kingdom! They’re all gunning for tag titles, that huge target is even bigger. But ultimately, targets or not, FTR want those fourth belts, the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Cash says they’ve had the best year of their careers, a dream year, but at the end of the day, they have to have those AEW titles back. They have to become two-time AEW World Tag Team Champions, or they just can’t live with themselves.
Right now, they are the rightful #1 contenders, so- Wait, in walk Swerve In Our Glory, Swerve Strickland & Keith Lee. Swerve says, while munching on a Crunch bar, “I know y’all ain’t talking about #1 contendership up in whose house?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But first of all, Swerve knows FTR has been putting their priorities in every other company but AEW, and now they wanna make claims? Six to seven months now, they’ve been #1 contenders, and now they wanna come at AEW? No, Swerve & Keith deserve that spot, not FTR. Keith speaks up, frustrated with Swerve talking. For once, Keith apologizes for Swerve.
And for once, the past few weeks, Keith actually agrees with Swerve. They do deserve a shot. FTR also agrees, Dax has respect for both Keith & Swerve. So if they want the shot at the AEW World Tag titles, then next week, Norfolk, Virginia, for the first time ever, FTR VS Swerve In Our Glory, to name THE #1 Contenders. Keith says, “Indubitably.” Fans cheer and Swerve can’t even! But FTR says this is their house, bitch! Will the #TopGuys stay on top of the AEW Rankings? Or will Swerve & Keith earn their way back to a shot at The Acclaimed?
Backstage interview with Darby Allin, Jay Lethal & Sonjay Dutt.
Alex Marvez makes sure everyone here understands that while Lethal & Sonjay requested this time with Darby, AEW Management is insistent on the No Physicality Agreement being upheld. Lethal says he did that so he could ask Darby for a rematch. Darby won a couple weeks ago, but Lethal says that was a fluke! Lethal would prove to Darby, the world, and to his best friend, Sonjay, that Lethal can beat Darby any time he wants! That’s why they’re here. Wow, all this just for a rematch? Yeah, two weeks ago, Darby did win, and he’ll beat Lethal again, so that Lethal will want another match, and it’ll keep going again and again and again.
Sonjay steps in to tell Darby that he should listen to what Sonjay has to say. Sonjay & Lethal know Darby’s weakness, and it wasn’t just Sonjay & Lethal who came up with it. “A good, close personal friend” pointed out exactly what Darby Allin’s weakness is. And now that he sees Darby up close, Sonjay thinks Darby looks like a “trash panda.” Darby tells Marvez to leave now. Lethal agrees, and Darby asks them, “You know my weakness, huh?” Darby shoves Lethal! And then he shoves Sonjay! So Lethal DECKS Darby! So much for that NPA! Lethal and Sonjay mug Darby, they go along towards the garage door, and Lethal RAMS Darby right into it!
Lethal puts Darby under the door and holds him down! Sonjay presses the button to close the door! It lowers right on Darby’s ribs! Darby is being squeezed and crushed while Lethal stomps away! Then Lethal goes around to the other side, and he puts Darby’s legs in the FIGURE FOUR! Darby is being tortured but security and staff rush in! They shout at Lethal, he lets Darby go, but will Darby even be able to make it to that rematch now?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone is with the Blackpool Combat Club’s leader, William Regal! Schiavone says the main event is Cincinnati’s own, Jon Moxley, defending his title against Hangman Page! Regal says yes, and it is for the AEW World- Wait! Here comes MJF! We all knew MJF was going to show up sometime tonight, and now he’s showing up to interrupt this interview! Fans are fired up to see Maxwell Jacob Friedman as he joins Regal in the ring. MJF shows he is putting the Dynamite Diamond Ring away, and Regal shows he does have his brass knuckles. MJF says he’s not here to fight, he’s here to talk. Regal puts the knuckle dusters away, and MJF steps closer.
MJF says, “Now here’s what’s gonna happen. I’m gonna tell a story, and I don’t care how long it is, you’re gonna listen. Because whether you realize it or not, you owe me that.” Fans boo as they aren’t so sure, but MJF continues, “Cincinnati, bear with me. When I was 19 years old, training in the business for one year at the Create A Pro-Wrestler Academy, one fateful day, I get pulled over to the side by my trainers, Pat Buck & Bryan Myers.” Fans applaud those names and MJF says yeah, they’re great guys. But they told MJF, “Kid, congrats, your hard work’s paid off. We got you WWE extra work.”
And to some, that might not sounds like a lot, but to MJF, it was the only show in town and it was an honor and opportunity. An opportunity is all MJF needed, so he packed his best gear, his best suit, and drove to the Barclays Center. Then, MJF and the extras were greeted and spoken to by none other than Sir William Regal. Regal told them, “You are all gonna go to the ring and have tryout matches before the show’s proceedings tonight.” Regal then had them all go against random opponents, put in a single file line, and MJF’s match was set to go on second. The first was two young dreamers, with the onlookers being Arn Anderson, Dean Malenko, Adam Pearce, and William Regal.
The wrestlers locked up, Malenko rang the bell and told them to get out. The second match was up, the pressure was on, MJF got his turn. He was shaking like a leaf, got in the ring, and knew he wasn’t fighting for a contract, but fighting for his life! “Cuz make no mistake about it, Will, professional wrestling is my life!” Fans cheer that! MJF says after his match, he was soaking wet with sweat from winning, and all four judges looked at him like he had eight heads. Then Regal pulled MJF away from the group and told him, “Follow me.” Regal led MJF to a separate room where it was just the two of them, and Regal said, “Kid, you’ve got three minutes to sell yourself to me. Go.”
“And boy, did I.” By the time MJF was done talking, Regal’s jaw was on the floor. And then Regal picked it up and said something MJF will never forget. Regal said, “Kid, I’m gonna get you a job here today.” MJF huffs and puffs as he asks, “And then what happened, huh? And then what happened? And then… I realized in that moment, I did it. I was no longer gonna be looked at by all the naysayers as a 5-foot-nothing, ADD riddled Jew boy, NO NO! I was gonna be a Superstar!” Fans cheer that, but there’s clearly still more. MJF says he had done it, he had accomplished his dream, and then, with a crooked grin, Regal asked, “How old are you, kid?” And MJF said, “19 years old, sir.”
Regal looked at MJF and said, “Kid, I’m sorry, but you’re much too young.” Fans boo now, seeing the twist. MJF said his heart stopped, his dreams evaporated, and in one fell swoop… Fans chant at Regal, “You Effed Up!” MJF says Regal then “resuscitated” MJF with his version of hope. “Kid, I don’t like to put my name on many people, but when I do, they get jobs here.” The list is small, but the list is as follows: Claudio Castagnoli; Bryan Danielson; and Cincinnati’s own, Jon Moxley. Regal told MJF that he saw something in MJF. When MJF “becomes of age,” Regal will put his name on MJF! But until then, MJF should go home, work his ass off, and every single month, send Regal a match and a promo.
So that’s what MJF did. MJF busted his ass! Month one, Regal responds, “Maxwell, thank you so much, I look forward to reviewing your progress.” Month two, “Maxwell, thank you so much, I look forward to reviewing your progress.” Then month three came, and after Regal told MJF to send in a match and a promo, Regal send MJF a promo that MJF still has saved to his phone to this day! Regal can smirk all he wants now, but he sent MJF this promo that MJF has read every single day since, so he’ll read it now! Fans cheer, liking the sound of that.
Here’s the email Regal sent: “Max, I’m a very, very busy man. I’ve got talent from all over the world to watch, and I’ve just had to sit for minutes watching you,” and this was in quotations, “‘show me your acting skills.’ Do not reply to this, but how would this make me say, ‘Oh, I know. Let’s hire Max.’ Make a name for yourself in the wrestling world and you’ll get noticed. That means being a high level performer. When you do, trust me, I’ll know. Unfortunately for you, the game has changed. The WWE exclusively hires the best talent in the world to the top world-class athletes. When you’re one of them, then maybe send me your stuff. Yours Sincerely, William Regal.”
Fans boo but Regal still smirks. MJF says that is the email Regal sent to a 19-year-old kid, “a CHILD WITH A DREAM! And you squandered it!!” MJF wants Regal to look at him. This is REAL, dammit! When MJF read that email, he wanted to quit pro-wrestling and his life. That email made MJF want to KILL HIMSELF!! Regal still smirks as MJF gets emotional, but Cincy fires up for MJF as he says, “But then I realized, if I did, then you and all the naysayers would win, and I couldn’t have that, now could I, Will? No no.” And now, the tables have turned. This is 2022, and Regal is nothing more than “a sad, withered old man who got FIRED!”
MJF tells Regal that Regal has snuck into MJF’s company like a rat, “sticking to talents far better than you ever were, like a succubus!” And y’know who MJF is? He’s MJF! The 26-year-old kid on top of the business as as generational talent! Fans agree there! And MJF is also the man who Regal’s former employers now would be willing to take several human lives simply to get MJF to put pen to paper in the bidding war of 2024. MJF wants Regal to look at him, MJF reads that email every single day. But not to put a chip on his shoulder, no. He just needs that for a good, hardy laugh. That’s who Regal is to MJF now: “nothing more than a joke.”
And y’know who MJF is about to become? AEW CHAMPION OF THE WORLD! Because he is Maxwell Jacob Friedman! And he’s better than you, and you know it!! MJF throws down the mic, Cincy gives him a standing ovation, even though that means MJF is gunning for their hometown hero. Regal picks up the mic to say, “Job well done. You mentioned being 19 and being a child. At 16, I left home and went to work on a carnival, and was having to fight grown men to get into this industry. I wasn’t trying to cast you aside, Max. I saw exactly in you what I’m seeing now, and it’s making me happy.
“I saw somebody who was going to be a big, big star. I wanted to light a fire under your backside. One, because we live in a day and age where you can’t have grown men smashing your face in when you’re 16, and when you’re 17, and when you’re crying every single night that you go to bed and there’s blood running out of every hole in your body and you want to quit, but you won’t let yourself, because at 17, I said, ‘No! I will not quit! I will keep going because I am going to be a professional wrestler!’ And if a bloody email is what it took to get you to this place, and you’ve held onto that for 7 YEARS… You’ve had it easy, sunshine.”
Regal says this is what MJF has had! He’s had it easy! MJF mastered something that he forgets, they spent several times together where Regal told MJF, “This is what you need to get good at, sunshine. You need to practice. Every time you brush your teeth, you need to stand and talk and practice and get so people take notice of you when you pick up a microphone.” Regal could see how talented MJF was then, and he watched MJF VS Wheeler Yuta last week, so he sees what an incredible talent MJF is now! MJF is 26, but before MJF was even born, Regal was insulting Mr. Schiavone, beating people up, and yet he would never lay a hand on Schiavone.
Regal is what they’d call an ODV, an Ordinary, Decent Villain. Anyone that steps between the ropes, that’s fair game. But you never put your hand on someone like Schiavone. Regal wanted MJF to be where he is, and knew he had it in him. The only problem is, MJF let Regal down because he took shortcuts. MJF hasn’t done anything to prove anything to Regal yet! Just because MJF gets paid here doesn’t prove anything. Just because he makes lots of money doesn’t prove anything. MJF hired people to do his dirty work, he hides behind a diamond ring to knock people out. Regal doesn’t need a ring to knock people out. When Regal used the brass knuckles, it’s just because he likes hitting people with brass knuckles!
“Max, don’t take any shortcuts. You wanna be a real bad guy? You wanna be The Devil? Then make a name for yourself by doing it right. Beat everybody that stands in front of you, and I don’t care what liberties you take with your pettiness, just get to that place. But if you want to be The Devil, show the world right now.” Regal turns around! “Or are you just going to take another shortcut and so you can come out here and act like a victim, and whine and cry.” MJF takes out the diamond ring and puts it on! Fans boo but Regal just stands still. MJF is conflicted. Regal turns back around with a smirk, but then sighs and says, “You still have a lot to prove.”
Regal drops the mic and leaves MJF with his thoughts. MJF has the Casino Ladder Match poker chip, but will he reconsider cashing it in tonight?
Dalton Castle speaks.
The Peacock sees Jericho with the ROH World Championship, and he says, “It’s not fair to the viewers, it’s not fair to Ring of Honor, and unfortunately, it’s up to me and my Boys to do something about this. There is gonna be a forest fire of color, and I am gonna leave Cincinnati the NEW ROH World Champion!” But will Castle be able to dethrone #THEOCHO? We find out in mere moments!
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Renee is with the AEW World Tag Team Champions and Billy Gunn, and she says ever since they won the titles, everyone wants a piece of them, especially Mark Sterling. Billy first wants to welcome Renee to AEW, “and yes, someone is trying to take away the phenomenon that everybody in this building and the millions… and millions of people are doing at home, called scissoring.” Anthony Bowens this Friday, live in Jacksonville where The Acclaimed was born, it will be The Acclaimed VS Tony Nese & Josh Woods! Caster adds, “That’s right!” “Titles VS Trademark!” “That’s right!” “And we’re gonna get back to scissoring, because EVERYONE loves the Acclaimed!”
“That’s right! And Mark Sterling, you wanna cool us off and get involved with what we’ve got going on? No, we’re hot forever. So Smart Mark, AKA Shart Mark, on Friday night, we’re gonna stomp you in the nuts!” Bowens kicks at the ground to demonstrate, and that’s a mic drop. Will Caster & Bowens win back their right to scissor finger? Or will “The Varsity Athletes” steal something else from a more popular team?
Renee Paquette has a sit down interview with Bryan Danielson & Wheeler Yuta.
She says first thing’s first, she wants his reaction to unfortunately losing to Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. Bryan says it is never fun to lose a match, but especially to Jericho and for the ROH Championship. That title means so much to Bryan, and is part of the person and wrestler he has become. So yeah, not ideal. Renee says one thing we can all see is the reaction to what went down with Daniel Garcia. How has that been sitting with him after a week? Bryan says he had high hopes for Garcia. Bryan looks at Garcia as someone who could not just be the next Bryan Danielson, but even surpass him as a technical wrestler.
Bryan has seen Garcia do so many incredible things at such a young age, that with the right guidance, Garcia could be the best wrestler they’ve ever seen. Renee points out that she notices Yuta’s reactions to this. Yeah… “The best wrestler you’ve ever seen.” Yuta can’t believe Bryan is surprised by how things went down last week. Has Bryan not paid attention? Yuta and Claudio have, they saw this a mile away. Garcia was clearly using Bryan. Garcia has “Dragonslayer” in his tron, and he was tricking Bryan to get what he wants and what Jericho wants. Garcia is a snake! And Bryan didn’t see it.
Yuta thought that when he bled to be Blackpool Combat Club, it meant something. It means something to Moxley, who is AEW World Champion. It means something to Claudio, because he agrees with Yuta. Claudio sees it. But maybe Yuta shouldn’t have met his hero, because this clearly doesn’t mean anything to Bryan. Yuta storms off, Bryan isn’t sure what to make of this. Is the BCC going to crumble, all because of Garcia’s betrayal?
ROH World Championship: Chris Jericho w/ Jake Hager VS Dalton Castle w/ The Boys!
The Wizard vows to desecrate the legacy of Ring of Honor one former world champion at a time. He started by defeating Claudio, and then he continued by cheating the American Dragon and Bandido.

Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall (still ROH World Champion)
Jericho managed to pull that one out without cheating! And the rest of the Jericho Appreciation Society appears to celebrate, but Jericho has the music cut. “All Honor the Ocho! I said I was gonna desecrate the legacy of ROH, and I’m doing it! ROH champions: out! ROH ring announcers: done! Even ROH commentators…” Jericho has the JAS go after Ian Riccoboni! Menard & Parker drag Ian from the desk, and Jericho aims the belt! But Jerry Lynn grabs the belt from Jericho to yell at him about this! Jericho LOW BLOWS Lynn! And then scoops him, to TOMBSTONE Lynn on the belt!!! The ultimate disrespect!
Security and refs rush out as Jericho celebrates his win. The Wizard continues to cross line after line, will anyone be able to stop his reign of terror?
Christian Cage speaks.
“Now there’s been a misconception lately that somehow, somehow, I brainwashed Luchasaurus. Now that couldn’t be the furthest thing from the truth. In fact, I think it’s pretty obvious, Jungle Boy, that as far as intelligence goes, Luchasaurus was the brains of your team, was he not?” Luchasaurus nods in agreement. “We are through with you! We are on to bigger and better things, my friend. In fact, it’s gonna be all gold from here on out. If you have a championship, if you are a champion in AEW, this is your warning. Because the reality is about to give you a bitch slap in the form of My Right Hand of Destruction, Luchasaurus.”
Backstage interview with The Baddies.
Renee tries to get a word with Leila Grey & Kiera Hogan, but they tell her they don’t have time! They’ve got business to take care of. But then the Baddies walk into their leader, Jade Cargill, and she asks where her belt went. She doesn’t see it. Kiera explains they’ve been looking for Nyla Rose everywhere but they can’t find her. Jade says duh, that’s because Nyla’s not here! How did they not know that? Leila says they do have something. Uh, Kiera has something. Kiera found out that Nyla will be in Jacksonville for Rampage. Is that right? Then perfect, because Jade will be in Jacksonville for Rampage. In fact, she’ll walk right to the ring and demand her belt back.
Jade looks at the camera and says, “Tony Khan, here’s the deal: either you get Nyla Rose to bring me my belt because she’s too much of a chicken sh*t; or I will hijack your show for sixty minutes. See you Friday.” Will the Native Beast have no choice but to turn over the AEW TBS Championship? Or will Jade have no choice but to turn Rampage into #ThatBitchShow?
AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley VS Hangman Page!
Quite the homecoming for Cincinnati’s own, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. This has been building for three years, and now we will finally see The Maniac VS The Cowboy 1v1, and for the greatest prize in AEW! Will the hometown hero keep this belt home with him? Or will Cincy see some serious #CowboySh*t?
The introductions are made, Moxley makes his way through the crowd, and #TitleTuesday ends with one for the ages!
MJF is spotted clutching his poker chip, but Hangman doesn’t wait for Moxley to make it to ringside! Hangman goes hunting, and the brawl is on! Fans are thunderous already as Hangman makes Mox take a seat, and then BOOTS him down! Fans are torn but mostly boo as Hangman snap suplexes Moxley on the floor! The ref reprimands but Hangman doesn’t go to ringside, he goes up the bleachers. Hangman finds his way to the railing and spots where he left Moxley. Fans are torn again as Hangman sets up to SUPER ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Direct hit and down goes Moxley! Hangman revels in the fans losing their minds while AEW goes picture in picture!
Hangman paces, he sits Moxley up and he kicks him against the wall! Hangman drags Moxley up, brings him around with a cravat and then throws him into more barriers, But Moxley turns things around to ROCK Hangman! And ROCK him again! And again! Fans are getting even closer to the action as Moxley just punches away on Hangman’s head! Moxley brings Hangman with him along the way, and gives him headlock punches! Moxley then climbs up onto the barriers for fans to see and cheer. Moxley leaps to AX HANDLE Hangman down! The ref insists they get this to ringside, but Hangman kicks low and RAMS Moxley into railing!
Moxley, already a bit bloodied, staggers and sits down. Hangman punches away on that bloody forehead, then takes a taste of Moxley’s blood! Hangman then puts Moxley in the ring and gets on the apron, only for Moxley to DECK him! Hangman staggers now, Moxley builds speed and DIVES! Direct hit and both men are down on the floor! Moxley stands up, he brings Hangman up, and he ROCKS Hangman with a right. Moxley follows Hangman around the way, keep son him with CHOPS, and then puts Hangman in the ring. The bell finally rings, and this is finally a match, only for Moxley to throw Hangman back out!
Moxley goes out to whip Hangman, but Hangman reverses and Moxley hits steel steps! Dynamite returns to single picture, Moxley flops over, and Hangman storms over. Hangman drags Moxley up, and smacks him off the steps! Hangman rains down fists as the ring count climbs, and fans are torn as their hometown hero is even bloodier now. Moxley staggers away punch drunk, but Hangman follows him into the ring. Moxley leans against ropes, Hangman storms over again and drags Moxley up. Fans duel, Hangman snap suplexes, then covers, TWO! Hangman KICKS Moxley in the back! And then BOOTS him in the face!
Moxley sits up to egg Hangman on! Fans fire up and Hangman throws more hands on the bloody forehead. Hangman reels Moxley in, but Moxley trips Hangman to tie up the legs! FIGURE FOUR! Fans fire up as Hangman endures and Moxley flips Hangman off! Hangman tells Moxley, “F YOU!” but Moxley just thrashes the leg lock more! Hangman throws hands, and he digs fingers in that forehead wound! The ref reprimands and counts but Moxley lets the leg lock go so he can get away. Moxley goes to ropes again while fans rally up. Moxley has a crimson mask, he goes to a corner, and fans duel harder.
Hangman CHOPS Moxley, Moxley snarls and goes to another corner. Hangman storms up to CHOP again! Moxley shakes his head, stomps around, and he eggs Hangman on!

Cincy is loud for Moxley now and he runs in to clothesline! Moxley climbs up to rain down fist, and then he BITES Hangman’s forehead!

Moxley stands Hangman up to SUPERPLEX! Double knuckle lock cover, TWO! Moxley turns those knuckle locks into DRAGON STOMPS! Moxley then shifts to an ARMBAR! Hangman clasps hands to resist, Moxley pries at the fingers, but Hangman fights. Moxley pries the fingers apart, ARMBAR!
Hangman flails and reaches out, ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Moxley lets off at 4, and wait, MJF has disappeared from his VIP skybox. Moxley goes out on the apron, he drags Hangman up, but Hangman fights! Hangman Alabama Lifts, APRON DEADEYE!! Both men flop down as AEW returns to picture in picture.
The ref checks and somehow Moxley is okay to continue. Hangman gets in the ring, but he has to get Moxley. Hangman hobbles his way over, he stands Moxley up, and he CHOPS! Hangman follows Moxley around the way, CHOPS him again, and then puts him in the ring. Hangman BOOTS Moxley down! Cover, TWO! Moxley is still in this, but Hangman drags Moxley by a leg. HALF CRAB! Moxley endures as Hangman sits deep! Moxley powers up to turn and roll, and he gets Hangman’s leg to trip him! Moxley drags Hangman into an STF! Hangman endures now, but he gets the ROPEBREAK fast!

Hangman could be out cold, or he could be concussed. Moxley backs down and fans boo, they don’t want this to end! But the ref calls for the bell!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by referee stoppage (still AEW World Champion)
The hometown hero wins, but not the way he wanted. William Regal goes to the ring to celebrate with Moxley all the same, will Hangman have to fight his way back to this title once again? As for Moxley, he gets the mic to address the crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen, I hope and pray that Hangman Adam Page recovers to 100%, can walk again, talk again, play with his little baby again, and come perform for all you fans again. But this is a dangerous game that we play, and you gotta have guts to play it. You gotta risk it all to play it. You gotta put every single thing on the line every time you step into this ring if you want to be successful in professional wrestling.
“And since I’m on live television, and I’m out here, and I’ve still got a lot of energy in me, I was watching earlier while I was getting ready, and some little [censored] is talking a lot of s*it. And I usually just let him talk his s*it because basically, he’s not worth breaking a knuckle on. But the Yankees didn’t go into extra innings so we still got some TV time, so… If MJF, you wanna prove just who the hell you say you are, why don’t you get your little suburban ass out here in my ring in Cincinnati, right now!” Fans like the sound of that, and here comes MJF! And he has a ref! And his chip! Is he cashing in!? MJF puts the ref in the ring, but then Regal asks him what’s the play.
MJF is still in street gear, he throws down his scarf and takes off his shirt, and the ref has the belt. Moxley flips MJF off to egg him on, but then MJF bails out? MJF tells Regal if he is to earn this, then hold onto the chip! MJF runs to commentary, grabs a mic, and he shouts, “You wanna talk about me cutting corners? Nah. You wanna talk about me being a man? These people KNOW I’m a man!” Regal chuckles but MJF says, “Here’s what’s gonna go down! I’m gonna cash that chip in, but when I do, I don’t want you at 50%, I don’t want you right after a match. I want you 110%! I don’t want any excuses!
“I wanna make sure, that when I beat you, clean, smackdab in the middle of that ring, that there’s not a GADDAMN QUESTION that I’m better than you and you know it! I’m cashing my chip in… FULL GEAR! Because for the first time, look at me when I say this, Regal, you piece of s*it! For the first time in my miserable life… I’m gonna earn it.” Fans fire up for that one! Regal grins and Moxley seems up for that. MJF is going to do things the right way, and Moxley grabs the mic. It seems there’s difficulties, Moxley is annoyed, “the show’s going downhill.”
But his response to MJF is explaining just what MJF will earn: the heel of Moxley’s boot in his mouth; MJF’s teeth rolling around in his mouth and going down his effin’ throat; Moxley’s fist right up MJF’s ass; MJF’s throat getting squeezed until his head turns purple and pops off like a Pez dispenser; a date with destiny, a date a lot of people don’t make it out of the ring standing, a date with Moxley, the best wrestler in the world, the AEW World Champion! And we’re gonna find out just what MJF is made of as Moxley makes an example out of him to show the whole world that getting in the ring with Moxley is dangerous as all hell!
November 19th can’t get here soon enough! Will Maxwell Jacob Friedman finally put his money where his mouth is? Or will the Maniac prove that once and for all, no one messes with the Maniac?
My Thoughts:
This was an awesome AEW, and when they established there’d be four title matches, I just knew those would be the only matches, and that each match would be awesome. Opening with the Trios titles makes a lot of sense, as does Death Triangle retaining, but I’m a little unsure about that bit where Fenix stopped Pac from cheating. By normal conventions, that moment would’ve cost them. But at the same time, AEW is refraining from having another AEW Double Champion so soon. I suppose Death Triangle did need to establish they talked among themselves about Pac’s cheating, and the fastest way to do that is in a match, not in a promo segment.
Good promo from Britt and friends to lead into the women’s title match, and a great women’s title match at that. I figured Storm would retain, and of course Britt’s crew goes after her. Saraya going after Britt was a logical move, and I suppose this means AEW is going to clear her. I just hope it’s more a tag match and not 1v1. Riho returning is great, that makes for a great number of match-ups, including Riho VS Storm. Good bit from Jade & The Baddies to set up a confrontation for Rampage, and chances are, we get a brawl from Jade and Nyla to set up a title match for Full Gear. Part of that build should be Marina Shafir and even Diamante joining Nyla in a Six Woman Tag against The Baddies.
Good promo from WARJOE to call out The Kingdom, though taking them on in singles matches is not what I expected. Really good segment from Lethal and Darby to set up their rematch, which will be a wild one after that garage door vice spot. Really good promo from FTR and Swerve In Our Glory, that is going to be a great tag match that I honestly can’t predict. FTR could take on The Acclaimed but then it’d be a shame for Acclaimed to lose those belts. But I feel like Swerve In Our Glory is just one loss away from breaking up, and I feel like the best time for that would be in another loss to The Acclaimed.
The Acclaimed also have a good promo calling out Sterling’s stable, and I just knew we were getting Titles VS Trademark. The Acclaimed will of course win so that they can have an even bigger scissor finger celebration than National Scissoring Day, especially with it being a homecoming to Jacksonville and I would think Daily’s Place. Good promo from Christian Cage to call out champions, but with WARJOE busy, I feel like Luchasaurus is either going after FTW Champion, Hook, or All-Atlantic Champion, Orange Cassidy. Either is fine, but I don’t see Luchasaurus dethroning either. Hook is still in that weird space where he hasn’t even been pushed to his limits, and Cassidy should be feuding with Ethan Page over Ethan’s promo calling out all comedy characters.
That was a really good sit-down interview promo for Yuta and Bryan. I sensed Yuta would be upset by this whole Garcia thing, and here it is! Granted, I didn’t sense nor wanted Garcia defaulting back to JAS, but still. Yuta says the others agree with him, is Bryan going to get kicked out of the faction he suggested forming? Or is Bryan going to see things Yuta’s way and give up on Garcia? We got an awesome match out of Jericho and Castle, and I like that they just threw in a couple jobbers to be the extra Boys, just so Hager would have more people to throw around. Jericho wins 99% clean, as Hager could be considered a distraction, but I suppose at some point, Jericho would win clean against someone. Jericho doubling down by wanting to hurt Riccoboni and then hurting Jerry Lynn was some good Heel Heat, I can’t wait to see who is next for his ROH hit list.
And of course, just amazing stuff out of MJF, Regal, and how it relates to the world title. MJF again digs down deep and bares part of his soul, and even then Regal throws that all back in his face because MJF was being biased. The main event was building into something awesome, it is a damn shame Hangman got hurt. I think I speak for everyone at The Chairshot in wishing Hangman all the best, he has really worked hard to get where he is now. But MJF coming out to establish that he won’t do a Money in the Bank Heel cash-in but more a Face cash-in is great stuff. Moxley VS MJF at Full Gear is going to be awesome stuff, and they’ve got a full month to build it, so who knows what further twists and turns happen along the way.
My Score: 9/10

Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?

And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?

It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived!

Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?

Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZEROÂ on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS!

The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim.

Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up!

Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

The two reset, circle, and tie up again. Rocky waistlocks, SLAMS, then flips Komander, maybe a little too much. Rocky flips Komander over again but Komander kips up to arm-drag!

Rocky brings Komander into a waistlock, but shoves him to ropes to ROCK him in the back! Komander drops to his knees, but Rocky stands him up. Rocky shoves and ROCKS Komander again! Cover, TWO! Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!
Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall
MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!
Dante bobs ‘n’ weaves, shoves Ricochet, but Ricochet avoids the dropkick! Jackknife bridge, TWO as Dante bridges up! Dante spins Ricochet, but Ricochet turns that to a backslide! TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards! Dante ducks under, runs at Ricochet, but Ricochet goes up and over! Dante puts Ricochet on the apron but Ricochet ENZIGIRIS! Ricochet springboards again, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again. Dante springboards up and around for a CARTWHEEL CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives, he runs at Dante, but Dante goes up and over!
Ricochet tumbles out as Dante then builds speed, and Dante DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp but Dante hurries to put Ricochet in. Springboard and MAMBA SPLASH! Cover, TWO!!

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