Backstage interview with Bryan Danielson.
Renee Paquette is with the American Dragon at the “Mongo Position” as she asks him about having his first match since losing out on the ROH World title, and it being against the JAS’s Sammy Guevara. Bryan says if he’s being honest, he’s frustrated. Frustrated that he lost to Jericho. Frustrated that Garcia turned his back on Bryan and hit him with that title belt. And frustrated that Yuta talked back to Bryan last week in their interview together! Bryan knows a lot of people hate Sammy, but Bryan has no problems with him. Well, other than his smug face and his stupid vlogs.
But all this frustration pent up in Bryan, for Jericho, Garcia, and Yuta, as Yuta walks up to Bryan, all of this will be taken out on Sammy tonight. Yuta says good! He’s glad Bryan is finally mad! Cuz did he see what just happened? Claudio & Yuta beat Jericho & Garcia! Yuta tells Bryan that he isn’t Bryan’s son or some kid, he’s a “grown ass man!” So if Bryan has problems with Yuta…! Bryan and Yuta start shoving, Claudio gets in the middle of it and shouts “STOP!” Regal also steps in. Claudio says this is a great day, because Claudio just pinned the ROH World Champion. Yuta did great, too. On top of that, it is Yuta’s birthday. And, Bryan is gonna beat the crap outta Sammy.
But after this match, the BCC is gonna sit down and talk it out like adults. Alright? Bryan and Yuta accept that, and Bryan heads out. Is the BCC going to be able to stick together with the JAS getting under their skin?
A message from… The Elite?
Kenny Omega’s voice is heard saying, “Myself, Nick & Matt, we set out on a path to change the world.” Footage from the AEW press conference in January of 2019 and then of Dynamite’s debut has The Elite erased from the footage. Every pivotal moment of The Elite’s AEW career is being erased. Are they saying AEW can’t be AEW if there’s no Elite?
Backstage interview with The Jericho Appreciation Society.
Tony Schiavone is with the full JAS, with Sammy, Tay Melo & Anna Jay “A S” joining Jericho and the others. There are some mic problems, but obviously they’re upset after that loss to the BCC. Menard shouts if Schiavone saw what happened out there. Garcia says the “Blackpool Cheater Club” makes him sick to his stomach! Jericho asks, “Can you believe that a man like Claudio Castagnoli would accept victory when there is a baseball bat in the middle of the ring, the entire world to see…” Schiavone brings up that Jericho brought that bat to the ring. Yes, but it was in the ring when the BCC won!
Jericho says he’s fired up, and Garcia’s fired up, and all of the JAS is fired up! All bets are off! Jericho isn’t just after former ROH World Champions! He’s after former ALL ROH champions! Pure Champions! Tag Team Champions! Women’s Champions! Jericho doesn’t care! He issues an open challenge to ANY former ROH champion to face #THEOCHO! And it won’t be a pretty sight! Claudio, this will be on you! And Sammy says tonight, he’ll do what he always does, and put on a show like no one has seen before, because he is that damn good. He’s gonna beat Bryan’s ass, again! There’s a birthday present for you, Yuta!
AEW World Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders Match: FTR VS Swerve In Our Glory!
Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood are the TRIPLE Champions, having the AAA World, ROH World and IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team titles to their names, but they still want more. They’ve been sitting on the number one spot for months now, but must defend that before challenging The Acclaimed. Will FTR make everyone #FearTheirRise? Or will the Limitless House once again go for the gold?
Oh, look at that. The Gunn Sons, Austin & Colten, are doing their bad FTR cosplay again to taunt FTR. The teams in the ring sort out, but then The Acclaimed arrive! Fans fire up as Caster, Bowens and Daddy Ass chair scissor! They watch from the ramp, and we start with Cash and Swerve.

Fans rally for “F T R!” as Cash powers out but Swerve goes up and over and gets around to O’Conner Roll and Eddy Gordo RANA! Cash stands up but Swerve does a dance and fans applaud. The Gunn Sons are annoyed as Swerve flicks a hair tie at Cash. Cash takes that to put his hair up.

Or will the titles soon return to the Limitless House?
Backstage interview with Saraya.
Renee is with “her girl,” and they’re both excited to be in AEW together. But then Britt Baker barges in to sarcastically say we’re all excited. But then Saraya stops Britt there, she’s not in the mood. Britt says Saraya’s the one who started this! Renee shouts over them both. This is insane! If they wanna talk about this, do it properly. Britt storms off, but will she and Saraya find a way to have it out?
AEW returns and Renee is on stage.
And she introduces… MJF! Norfolk goes nuts as Maxwell Jacob Friedman walks out. He has them cut his music, and fans chant his name. Renee starts but MJF cuts her off. “Ladies and gentlemen, the devil has arrived in Virginia! And I’ve got one solitary question, Virginia. We got any devil worshippers in the house tonight?” Fans cheer, and MJF asks the “ravishing” Renee, “all the disgusting poors watching at home would love to lay,” what she has for him. Well, tonight, Jon Moxley is putting his title on the line against Penta. Should he retain, then MJF will be facing Moxley for the title at Full Gear. How does MJF feel ahead of a match that monumental?
How does he feel about wrestling Moxley? MJF asks to borrow the mic and Renee hands it over. MJF asks, “You mean, how do I feel wrestling this guy.” And then he mocks Moxley’s strut, and then he mocks how Moxley talks, “ECK! MJF, at Full Gear, I’m gonna mash your bones, man. I’m gonna drink you blood. I’m gonna gargle your piss! Cuz I’m Jon Freakin’ Moxley!” Is that who we’re talking about? Yes, him… Well, Renee, in Virginia, MJF loves y’all. Even with all your shortcomings. But with all due respect, and he means that, “When I think of Jonathon, only one word comes to mind, and that word has got three letters, and it starts with an M. And that word is M-M-M-MID!!”
Renee says you can’t say “with all due respect” and then insult someone. Uh, with all due respect, shut your mouth. But listen… Last week, when MJF said he was gonna earn it, he meant it. Though, maybe he went outta control when he said he’d wrestle a whole match cleanly. Let’s just get that out of the way. He means relatively clean. He’s still MJF, let’s get real. But, there was one thing that got under MJF’s skin, and that was when “that disgusting, flea infested elderly rat, William Regal, decided to tell me that he didn’t use his brass knuckles because he needed to, but that he used them because he wanted to.”
MJF says Regal was alluding to the fact that MJF can’t beat Regal’s boy, Jon Moxley, without his Dynamite Diamond Ring. What do the fans think of that? The fans boo and MJF agrees, that’s BS. But he makes a promise here that for one night and one night only, at Full Gear, for the grandest prize of them all, MJF will NOT use his diamond ring. “Because, Will, I don’t need it. The only thing I’ve ever needed to be a success in my life is a grudge. And trust me, I’m chalked full of ’em!” MJF has taken all his grudges, mashed them down into one chip, and that chip is directly on his shoulder!
Come November 19th in his backyard, the metropolitan area of Newark, New Jersey, MJF ain’t fighting Regal! He ain’t fighting Moxley! He ain’t fighting Penta! MJF is fighting “every single sorry scumbag that ever told me I wasn’t good enough! And I am going to take this heavy chip off my shoulder and shove it down each and every one of their throats when I become your NEW AEW Champion of the World!” Fans fire up for that! MJF says it’s because he is a generational talent. But then Stokely Hathaway cuts him off? Stokely gets it! MJF wants Moxley at 100% at Full Gear, and trust Stokely when he says The Firm won’t lay a hand on that man.
MJF slaps the mic out of Stokely’s hand! MJF borrows Renee’s again to tell Stokely, “Perhaps you’ve gotten a little bit comfortable since you’ve known me for a very long time. So Virginia, we’re gonna cut Stokely some slack, huh?” Fans boo but MJF tells Stokely that “If Jon Moxley gets past Penta in the main event tonight, at Full Gear, I need him 110%, so him and Regal and all his weirdo fanboys have got NO excuses when I beat him in that ring! So you don’t go near him, you don’t lay a hand on him. Hell, you don’t even look at him. Or you’re fired.” Fans like the ultimatum, and Stokely smiles. Stokely leaves and MJF starts where he left off: he super over catchphrase.
Three, two, one, and fans say it with him! “Because MY NAME is Maxwell! Jacob! Friedman! And I’m better than you! And you know it!!” The Salt of the Earth actually wants to do this as close to the right way as he can, will he get it down in New Jersey?
AEW hears from The Kingdom and #WARJOE!
Matt Taven asks, “I just want to know who did we disrespect? Because I never said the name, ‘Warjoe.’ I would never say that name in the first place because it is an awful tag team name, but if you Melvins are throwing out title shots, then Matt Taven is gonna step up to the plate.” A ROH Grand Slam Champion, winning all the belts they had to offer, and you will see a NEW AEW TNT Champion.
But Wardlow says Taven can scream his name as loudly and as confidently as he wants, and he can list his experience and the titles he has won. But when you’re in the ring with Wardlow, none of it matters. Friday on Rampage, two things are inevitable: Taven being the next casualty of the Powerbomb Symphony; and Wardlow wins. Will Matt Taven find he’s just in Wardlow’s World now?
Bryan Danielson VS Sammy Guevara w/ Tay Melo!
The American Dragon said his piece earlier, but so did the Spanish God. The BCC won earlier, but is starting to fall apart. Can Bryan win to keep things going strong? Or will the JAS avenge themselves with a little sports entertainment?

Sammy almost reaches the lights as he takes down Bryan!
AEW goes picture in picture as Tay applauds her husband and gives him a kiss. Sammy slides into the ring, and Tay gest a cheap shot on Bryan! Tay gets away with it, but the ref is suspicious of something happening. Fans tell the ref to get rid of Tay but the ref lets Tay stay for now. Bryan drags himself up and gets in the ring, but Sammy is on him with a rain of forearms and fists! The ref counts, Sammy lets off to facelock. Sammy snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Sammy is annoyed but he drags Bryan up. Sammy puts Bryan on the ropes to CHOKE! The ref counts and Sammy lets off, and Tay CHOKES Bryan now!
Tay gets away with things again, Sammy digs his knee into Bryan and the ref counts. Sammy lets off at 4 and Bryan crawls to a corner. Sammy storms up to whip Bryan corner to corner. Sammy runs in, and he DROPKICKS Bryan, a la Bryan! Sammy soaks up the heat, then he goes corner to corner again, to DROPKICK! Bryan flounders and Sammy soaks up more heat. Sammy stands on Bryan for the cocky cover a la Jericho, but Bryan pushes him off before a count even starts. Dynamite returns to single picture and Sammy drags Bryan up.

Backstage interview with Rey Fenix & Alex Abrahantes.
Renee is with the Immortal Firebird and the Death Triangle’s hype man to ask them about Penta’s title match tonight. How do they see it going? Fenix says Penta will become the NEW AEW Double Champion! Alex agrees, Penta will beat Moxley for THE AEW World Championship. Sorry, though, Renee. And Fenix says Penta, or any member of Death Triangle, could be a Double Champion. Even Fenix! Alex agrees here, too, and says Fenix should go after the All-Atlantic Championship! But then Christian Cage & Luchasaurus barge in. Is that what they think?
Captain Charisma says that maybe they didn’t hear, but last week, Christian proclaimed HIS Right Hand of Destruction will go after every single person with a title in AEW. “Luchasaurus has been walking through the opposition left and right. Including Jungle Boy. Who pinned you,” Fenix. So if anyone deserves a shot at Orange Cassidy’s All-Atlantic title, it’s Luchasaurus. Do they understand? But then Cassidy walks in and says, “Y’all talking about me? You two talking about this? Well, next week, let’s do this.” What? Another Triple Threat for the Freshly Squeezed Champion? As chill as he is, is he crazy? Or just that confident?
Riho VS Jamie Hayter w/ Britt Baker & Rebel!
The inaugural AEW Women’s World Champion returned to save the interim champion, Toni Storm, from Britt Baker and her crew, so now she’s gotta take on Britt’s number one sidekick! Will Riho humble Hayter in her first match back? Or will Hayter love to ruin Riho’s return?

Backstage interview with Eddie Kingston.
Renee is with the Mad King, and he says, “What up, sis?” Renee notes last Friday on Rampage, it was an intervention of sorts for Eddie Kingston. How is he? How’s he been? Eddie chuckles and says he’s great! He’s wonderful! That thing was fun, look at his smile. It’s great, really. But anyway, let’s talk about Moxley and his match tonight. Let’s stop worrying about Eddie, okay? Well, okay. Moxley will be defending his title against Penta, how does Eddie feel about that? Eddie says in all honesty, this will be a hard one for Moxley. Penta’s money, he’s Eddie’s friend, but Moxley will take this. And that’s it. Everyone else, leave Eddie alone.
BIG matches set for Rampage!
As the war rages on, the BCC’s Claudio & Yuta now take on Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange! Will the Swiss Superman & Decoder keep things rolling against Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker? Plus, Madison Rayne and Tay Melo will go 1v1 after their tag team encounter. Will the Queen Bee sting the Brazilian Goddess? And the AEW TNT Championship match is official, Matt Taven gets his shot at the War Dog! Will The Kingdom’s first move in AEW be to get some gold? Or just to get devastated by powerbombs?
Darby Allin speaks.
“As you can see, Sting hasn’t been here in quite some time. I’m gonna tell you a little story why. About a month ago, I went up to Sting and I told him, ‘Hey, I’m not happy. I’m not happy with where I’m going, I’m not happy with who I am, I just want to crawl into a hole and disappear from the world.’ And he said, ‘You can’t do that.’ And I said, ‘Why? Why can’t I do that?’ And he told me, ‘Because you’re Darby Allin. A former TNT Champion, the man that convinced to come out of retirement.’ And I said, ‘If that’s the case, then let me prove myself by myself.’
“And fast forward to last week, Jay Lethal comes up to me and says, ‘I have an old friend that knows your biggest weakness.’ Well, Jay, you can told your old friend I already know my biggest weakness, and my biggest weakness is myself. It’s been since day one I was born, I’ve been dancing on thin ice, and I have no safety net, I have no comfort zone. Tell your old friend to come to AEW Dynamite next week, and tell me to my face what my biggest weakness is.”
Jay Lethal and friends respond!
Lethal says, “Well, Darby, it seems you need to worry a little less about our friend, and a little more about how we have a match next week. And if you thought last week, that beating we gave you was something, you ain’t seen nothing yet, Darby! You are in for a rude awakening!” Sonjay Dutt asks if this is what Darby really wants. Does Darby wanna piss Sonjay off? Well if that’s what he wants, be careful what you wish for, because next week, Darby sure as hell is going to get it. The rematch is on, but just who is that old friend who knows Darby’s weakness?
AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley VS Penta El Zero Miedo w/ Alex Abrahantes!
The Maniac loves to fight, and between his match with Hangman Page going sideways and MJF not taking him on last week, he’s itching to fight someone with no fear of what’s going to happen. And so who better to answer the call then this man! Will Pentagon, one third of Death Triangle, have two titles after tonight? Or will having no fear have no effect on the wild thing?

But Moxley blocks his Superkick and spins Penta around.
Penta ducks the lariat to SUPERKICK on the return! Moxley flops out of the ring, Penta builds speed and FLIES! Direct hit and fans fire up! Penta swaggers around and AEW goes picture in picture.

Moxley gets in the ring but Penta drags him back out! Penta smacks Moxley off the steel steps! And again! And again! Penta lets off to refresh the count again, and then he brings Moxley around to put him against a corner. Penta CHOPS Moxley against the post! Moxley is stinging, and Penta takes off his glove. Perfect throw and catch with Alex, and then Penta swings, but Moxley moves! Penta’s hand hits steel post! And then Moxley grabs that hand to bend the fingers! Moxley whips Penta into railing! And then puts him in the ring! Moxley slides in at 7 of 10, drags Penta up, and CHOPS him in the corner.
Moxley whips corner to corner, Penta goes up and over and hits a BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Penta shakes his head, shakes out his bad hand, and fans clap along. Dynamite returns to single picture as fans chant, “CERO! MIEDO!” Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap. Penta stalks Moxley to the ropes, keeps him in place, and then KICKS him in the side! Moxley sputters and Penta eggs him on. Moxley goes to a corner, Penta stands him up and throws forearms. Penta whips corner to corner, runs in, but into a BOOT!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
The Maniac snatches the win away at the last moment, but who is in the ring now?! W. Morrissey!? And he BOOTS Moxley down! Then the rest of The Firm, from Lee Moriarty to Ethan Page to the Gunn Sons, swarm the ring to beat up Moxley! They’re going against MJF’s orders as they stomp away on Moxley! They drag Moxley up and feed him to a LARIAT from Colten Gunn! Fans boo but Moriarty goes up top. Morrissey sets Moxley up for Moriarty’s FLYING DOUBLE STOMPS! Stokely storms his way out to the ring and he’s all fired up! Morrissey rains down fists and then rips off his shirt. Fans boo as Stokely gest on the corner?
Security rushes out, but The Firm beat them down now! The Firm throws them all out, and then in the back, it seems The Firm locked the door to the Blackpool Combat Club’s locker room! No one can get in or out, meaning Moxley is all alone against Stokely’s thugs! The mugging of Moxley continues, and Austin gets a chair! Colten sits Moxley up but Moxley BOOTS Austin! Moxley DECKS Colten, DECKS Moriarty, but Ethan BOOTS Moxley back down! Colten rains down forearms, but here comes MJF! MJF looks torn! He did tell The Firm not to do this, but he doesn’t really care about Moxley. Fans boo as MJF goes back to the tunnel.
But then MJF comes running back out! MJF slides in to shove everyone away from Moxley! He tells them that they’re FIRED! The Firm is no longer HIS faction! But MJF says Moxley needs to have sense. But then Ethan BOOTS MJF!! Well, since they’re not his faction anymore, they don’t have to listen to him! They mug MJF now! Fans boo but now there’s no one to save MJF because these were his guys! Morrissey drags MJF up, feeds him to Ethan, and Ethan grins as he blows a kiss to Norfolk. EGO’S EDGE for MJF! And then Morrissey TOSSES MJF out of the ring! But that’s not all, as The Firm follows MJF out.
MJF starts fighting back, but that’s too many to fight off! The timekeeper’s table is cleared off, and Morrissey drags MJF up. Morrissey choke grips, MJF fights but gets mugged again. Morrissey then hauls MJF up with a choke grip, to CHOKE SLAM MJF through the table!! The Firm went rogue and now they’re doing whatever they want! Will anything stop them from taking over AEW? And what is the state of the world title match after both champion and challenger have been demolished?
My Thoughts:
Another great Dynamite, and fortunately, more wrestling than talking. Getting a title match just because was cool, and Moxley and Penta put on an amazing one. MJF had a great promo beforehand, and I am really liking that for all his Heel attitude, he is basically a Face now because fans love him and he wants to do things on his own. The Firm forcing his hand was great, and I feel like The Firm going after MJF was happening at some point anyway with Stokely getting power hungry. Moxley and MJF both get beat down so that does muddy some of the math, but there is still some time before the PPV. I’m wondering if MJF has a match against one of the Firm members as a tune-up. I’m pretty sure Moxley will, and that’ll be great stuff.
Good promos from Eddie Kingston and Rey Fenix to get their opinions on that main event. I also like that there was a lot of sarcasm from Eddie because of that intervention on Rampage. Eddie’s story being about how close he is to snapping is great, it makes the most out of working in his past with other companies. And then Fenix being confronted by Christian and Luchasaurus was good, as was Cassidy joining in. Cassidy is quickly becoming the fightingest All-Atlantic Champion by having two Triple Threat defenses in a row as his first two defenses. He’s starting strong, winning strong, and that might make it all the bigger when someone takes that title off him.
Great match out of Riho VS Hayter, but I figured Hayter would win to push her up the rankings towards the women’s title. Toni Storm showing up was of course a further sign of that, and Storm VS Hayter is going to be awesome stuff. Saraya and Britt also had a nice little encounter backstage, they’re building ever closer to that match for Saraya’s return to the ring. I’m thinking Storm and Saraya each win their matches against Hayter and Britt, but if either of them is losing, it might be Saraya because Britt will have Rebel to help her cheat. And from I’ve heard, it sounds like Storm wants to get the “interim” out of the way the same way Moxley did, maybe Storm is just named THE Women’s World Champion if Thunder Rosa isn’t back after Full Gear.
We got an awesome contender’s match from FTR VS Swerve In Our Glory, and I like all the moving parts of this. The Acclaimed were watching from a distance so as not to be a factor, other than the fans paying them some attention, while The Gunn Sons were ringside because they were going to be a factor. This of course sets up Gunns VS FTR for the ROH World Tag Team Championships while we’re getting Acclaimed VS Swerve & Keith Round 3. With how Swerve is going further and further Heel, I bet he and Keith lose and then Swerve turns on Keith and we get that feud. Then in Gunns VS FTR, there’s half a chance Gunns cheat to win and get The Firm their first belts.
Good promo from Taven and Wardlow to set up their match, but I would think Wardlow wins. His rise back up can’t be stopped just because The Kingdom shows up. We also got good promos from Darby and Lethal’s group to hype up their rematch. I would love if Lethal’s “old friend” who knows Darby’s weakness is Sting! Lethal and Sting were in Impact together, Sting knows Darby pretty well now, and Sting could spin it by saying if Darby wants to prove himself, then he needs to be able to overcome someone with everything in his favor. That in itself can help prove to Darby and to AEW that Darby is ready for the world title.
Great stuff from BCC and JAS. Great opening match from Claudio & Yuta VS Jericho & Garcia. That win is big, because I would love for Full Gear or even ROH Final Battle in December to have Claudio VS Jericho and Yuta VS Garcia, last chances for BCC to get those ROH titles back. Jericho calling out ALL of ROH is great, I would love to see ROH Women’s Champion, Mercedes Martinez, show up to whoop Anna and/or Tay in a title match. And we can see The Briscoes beat up on Menard & Parker, and we can use that promo to give us Jericho VS Samoa Joe at some point. Bryan VS Sammy was also great, and of course Bryan won. The BCC getting heated with each other is an intriguing twist, I can’t wait to see which way this goes.
And while not played up much in the broadcast, I really do like that little promo from The Elite. They did good with that golden Thanos snap type effect, and are of course pointing out that they are the reason for everything that has happened with this company. It is also a sign that they’re on their way back from the suspension, and maybe they’ll actually finally discuss that on camera because otherwise, casual viewers who still don’t know what happened after All Out won’t understand what’s going on. And with that, they can also call out Death Triangle over those Trios Championships, maybe Full Gear gives us Elite VS Death Triangle in a show stealer.
My Score: 8.8/10

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-

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!

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.

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!

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

Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Slam Dunk Saturday returns and Platinum Max is already in the ring. He has the mic to tell Omaha, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that claim given Caster is 0-5 at his own challenge. But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man. He has a packed schedule, unlike his former tag team partner… The fans chant, “We Want Bowens!” but Caster says he has some news for us: Bowens ain’t here, and he ain’t coming back, cuz Caster ran his ass outta AEW! The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges. Caster cartwheels, cheers himself on, but then Hook trips Caster up! The fans cheer, and Hook clamps on REDRUM!! Caster TAPS, Hook wins!
Winner: Hook, by submission
Well, now it’s 0-6. Will Caster ever realize he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match. So I don’t really see the point of us discussing the romantic capabilities of a beast, y’know?”
Lexy says yeah, but uh, isn’t “Harley-gram” just Harley? NO, FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs off, but will Harley be able to focus on her match with Mortos around? Will Mortos be able to focus on his match with Harley around?
Six Man Tag: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero VS The Don Callis Family!
While the Book of Hobbs is stuck on a chapter involving the Don Callis Family, he has decided to conglomerate with the Sussex County Chicken & Azucar! Will Briscoe & Rocky help Hobbs get through the “writer’s block?” Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer make sure #EverybodyDies?
The trios sort out and Briscoe starts against Konosuke. Don Callis is on commentary and Schiavone is sure he is not in a good mood over his guy, Mark Davis, missing out on the International Championship. Callis focuses instead on the Six Man Tag, and his “three physical freaks” of the Callis Family. Briscoe and Konosuke tie up, Briscoe headlocks, and Omaha rallies for #DemBoys. Konosuke powers up and out, Briscoe RAMS him, but Konosuke comes back to run Briscoe over! Things keep moving, Konosuke bypasses Briscoe but Briscoe slides under.

Cover, Don Callis Family wins!
Winners: The Don Callis family, by pinfall
Omaha was served up some meat and chicken with sugar on top, but the Don Callis Family ate it all! Will this win help Konosuke head back for a title opportunity in time for Dynasty? Will Hobbs at least be allowed to move on from the Don Callis Family?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here for just the first half of the Slam Dunk Weekend, as recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. I kinda like Collision being just one hour, but obviously they’ll go back to two hours on one night next week. Opening with the TNT Championship was quite the surprise, but that did help it go the full 20 minutes, which was a particularly clever move here. Garcia keeps the title but Cole was very close, so maybe we get a third match where they extend or completely do away with the time limit to get a definitive winner. And at that point, I would think Adam Cole wins to finally have a singles title in AEW.
Good stuff in Caster again losing his own Open Challenge. Good win for Hook as it’s been a minute since he’s had a singles match. With Caster harping on Bowens being absent, this really needs to culminate with Bowens answering the challenge, winning that first time, but then Caster wanting a rematch. Then that match will be awesome stuff, but still ultimately won by Bowens to get it in Caster’s head that he can’t just say he’s the Best Wrestler Alive and put it on a piece of paper. Then we can see Caster take his character in another direction, maybe do some soul searching. Or more likely, just double down and be even more insufferable.
Very good match for Hart VS Aminata 3, hard to say if it was that much better than the previous, but Hart winning makes sense with Aminata VS Deeb still needing to happen. A shame the Aminata-Deeb feud had to build in the background of the Aminata-Hart feud, but it’s not like they could do more on a week to week basis. Unless… Well, snark aside, Aminata will surely take Deeb up on at least that Pure Rules match for a first-time-ever in the Women’s Division, and I would love for a Women’s Pure Championship to be created in time for Supercard of Honor. It actually works out that Supercard had to be pushed back to avoid clashing with WrestleMania, because the pacing of the Women’s Division definitely can/will go all the way to May.
Very good promo from Harley to not just hype up Slam Dunk Sunday, but to also poke fun at how she is so obviously Harley-gram, and that there is some, uh, animal magnetism between her and Mortos. And Schiavone said that Komander & Hologram VS Mortos & Dralistico will be the main event, so you can bet there will be shenanigans involving Mortos and Harley/Harley-gram.
My Score: 8.8/10
