PLAY BY PLAY

Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli VS The Butcher & The Blade w/ The Bunny!

The AEW World Champion stopped Private Party from beating up on Hangman Page, and that upset La Faccion Ingobernable. But instead of handling business directly, Rush has sent the mercenaries after the Maniac! Will Butcher & Blade brutalize the Blackpool Combat Club for El Toro Blanco? Or will Moxley and the Swiss Superman be the ones sending LFI back in pieces?

The bell rings, and the mercenaries attack! Blade goes after Moxley while Butcher is after Claudio! Blade kicks Moxley out and Butcher throws Claudio while fans boo. The brawling continues outside, Butcher whips but Claudio reverses! Butcher hits railing hard, and Moxley fires off on Blade! Moxley whips Blade over the timekeeper’s desk! Fans fire up with the BCC and Moxley drags Blade up to CHOP! Claudio EuroUppers Blade, Moxley CHOPS Blade, and then Moxley brings Blade around the way.

Blade stares Claudio down but the ref shouts at everyone to get in the ring. Blade puts Moxley in, CHOPS, but Moxley CHOPS! Blade CHOPS, Moxley CHOPS! And CHOPS and CHOPS and ROCKS and CHOPS! Moxley fires off, whips corner to corner, then runs in, but into a BOOT! Blade runs, but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! Blade flounders, Moxley keeps him from Butcher and wrenches.

Claudio EuroUppers, then EuroUppers again! Claudio puts Blade in a corner, EuroUppers again, then whips corner to corner for another EuroUpper! Claudio whips the other way, but BUNNY gets in!?

Fans boo but Bunny says she’s just protecting her hubby! The ref has Bunny back away, Blade swings but Claudio EuroUppers first! Butcher gets in to CLOBBER Claudio! Fans boo but the ref only sees Moxley storming in! Blade soaks up the heat as some blood pours from his forehead, and AEW goes picture in picture.

Blade brings Claudio around, bumps him off buckles, and tags in Butcher. Butcher CHOPS Claudio, bumps him off buckles, then whips him corner to corner hard! Claudio drops to his knees after hitting buckles, and Butcher drags him over. Tag to Blade, the mercs wrench and mug Claudio. Blade fires off in the corner, snapmares Claudio and KICKS him in the back! Bunny applauds but she’s the only one. Blade taunts Moxley, the ref keeps Moxley back, and Blade clamps on a chinlock. Claudio endures, even as Blade thrashes him around. Claudio fights up, throws body shots, but Blade squeezes tighter.

Rampage returns to single picture as Claudio reaches for Moxley. Blade keeps him back while reaching for Butcher, but then Claudio ROCKS Blade! That just sends Blade closer to Butcher! Butcher tags in, he DECKS Moxley! Claudio dodges Butcher but there’s no one to tag! Blade KNEES Claudio and Butcher LARIATS! Butcher drags Claudio up while Blade climbs, FLYING LARIAT SUPLEX COMBO!

The BCC is fired up, Claudio tags in, and they each give the mercs some DRAGON STOMPS! “This is Awesome!” while Bunny panics! Then DEATH RIDER and RICOLA BOMB!! Cover, the BCC wins!

Winners: Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall

Fans are thunderous for that big win, but Moxley gets the mic to say, “Claudio, my friend, let me ask you a question. Does the Blackpool Combat Club care who we get in the ring with?” “NO!” Then here’s another question: “When the BCC gets knocked down, do we stay down?” “HELL NO!” “And finally, what is gonna happen next ween on Dynamite to the Cowboy if he don’t wanna step up?” “Son, you gonna get stepped ON!” The message was sent, and the Cowboy was watching. Will there be a lot of blood and #CowboySh*t in Cincinnati this Tuesday?

Backstage interview with Swerve In Our Glory.

Renee Paquette is with Swerve Strickland & Keith Lee, and she notes the huge victory over Billy Gunn on Dynamite. What’s next for them? Well first, Swerve welcomes Renee to AEW, aka “Whose house?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” “Exactly.” Obviously, the next goal is to get the AEW World Tag Team Championships back, but Swerve wants to address Billy. Swerve beat Billy, a guy who is twice Swerve’s size and age, but also… Swerve is already cracking up as he says Mark Sterling stole their gimmick! That’s the funniest thing! Doesn’t Keith think so?

Keith says he’s okay with Swerve reveling in what happened, but Keith wants Swerve to understand something. “I stuck with you because I believe in you. You’re not just good, but I believe you can be great. But you also represent me. Since when do we need to cheat to beat anyone?” And yes, Swerve basically cheated Billy. “The fact is, all of that nonsense means nothing.” Swerve is swerving into the wrong lane. Keith leaves Swerve to think on that. What will Swerve’s response to those insinuations be? Will the Limitless House start to fall apart?

Backstage interview with The Dark Order.

Renee is now with Evil Uno, Preston Vance, John Silver & Alex Reynolds, and asks them how they plan on recovering from another heartbreaking loss in that AEW Trios Championship match? Reynolds admits, that was heartbreaking. This is the second time they’ve failed to win those titles. But if there’s one thing they do best, it’s that they pick themselves up- Wait, Jose the Assistant to La Faccion Ingobernable walks in. He tells Vance, “Look at all these sad faces. We’ve been following you around for two months-” Vance says yes, LFI has been stalking him for two months. Jose says, “So then let’s do something about it!”

Vance says it’s been two months of LFI trying to recruit him, and then last week, LFI screws them out of the Trios titles! So now it’s not just affecting Vance, it’s affecting his friends. So Vance has an idea: next week, Vance VS Rush! When- Jose says if… But when Vance wins, LFI leaves him alone for good. The Dark Order shoos Jose, and then they put claws in. Wait, STU GRAYSON IS BACK?! Well, they’re in Canada, so he wasn’t gonna miss this! Player Two is back, and the Dark Order is fired up! Will Number 10 finally finish things with La Faccion? Or has the Dark Order gotten one member back just as they’re about to lose another?

The Jericho Appreciation Society is here!

The fans sing Judas as THE OCHO leads the way for Matthew Menard, Angelo Parker, Anna Jay “A S,” and the sports entertainment version of the prodigal son, Daniel Garcia! Red Death rejoined the fold, and we are about to hear why tonight. Jericho applauds Toronto for singing, and then Parker gets the mic. “Torontooo~! The family is back together, baby!” Menard gets a mic to say, “Do you wanna know what makes Daddy Magic’s nipples hard?” Toronto does. “Then how about the fact that the JAS is going to be together FOREVER!? FOREVER!! FOREVER!!”

Anna says, “And now, introducing the man of the hour, the man with the power, and the man too sweet to be sour, Daniel Garcia~!” Fans are torn but many do cheer. Garcia says, “Everybody has been asking me why I did what I did this past Wednesday. And don’t worry, I’m not gonna keep you waiting too long. I’m gonna tell you right now. Chris Jericho has always said that sports entertainers are superior.” Fans boo but Garcia says for a bit, he didn’t believe Jericho. He was being rebellious because the fans all told him he was a pro-wrestler, just like his hero, Bryan Danielson. Fans chant it now, “You’re a Wrestler!”

Garcia says that’s dead, it’s over, don’t say that anymore! Garcia will NEVER be a pro-wrestler! Bryan is Garcia’s hero, he taught Garcia so much about heart, guts, and fighting spirit. But when Jericho hit Garcia in the head with his ROH World title, that taught Garcia how to WIN! That’s when Garcia realized that sports entertainers DO beat pro-wrestlers every single time! “And guys, I got a little confession to make. My name is Daniel Garcia, and I am a sports entertainer!” Fans boo but Garcia just soaks it up.

Jericho says a lesson learned by Garcia and a lesson taught to Bryan that Jericho is the greatest Ring of Jericho Champion EVER! And Jericho vows to continue beating every single ROH World Champion that has ever existed! “BOYS!” Here comes DALTON CASTLE! He and The Boys, the Tate Twins, Brendan & Brent, are currently the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions, but The Peacock has been THE ROH World Champion in the past. Fans cheer as Castle has a mic. “Christopher… Chris. I used to be ROH World Champion, Chris. And to see that championship around your waist, a stupid, naïve, silly little goose… It makes me sick!”

Fans chant, “Silly Goose! Silly Goose!” Castle broke his BACK for that title, and he’s willing to break Jericho’s to give that title and all the fans what they deserve! And that is a champion they can be proud of. “I’m a power peacock, pumping peacock power into this building! The energy in this room is fueled by the electricity in my veins! Do you understand, Chris?! These lights stay on because my heart beats! And if you grant me a title shot next week on Dynamite, OH, I will shock your face right off your body and be the NEW ROH World Champion!” Fans like the sound of that!

Jericho says, “Alright, Peacock. Next week, you want a championship match, you got it. But I’m gonna pull out your feathers one by one by one. The Ring of Jericho Era is here! All Honor the OCHO!” Tuesday Night Dynamite has another title match, and it will have the legacy of ROH on the line with it! Will Castle bring back the honor Jericho is trying to destroy? Or will Jericho cross another former champion off… the list?!

AEW hears from Toni Storm and Hikaru Shida.

The Lightning From Down Under says, “This Tuesday on Dynamite, I defend my AEW Women’s World Championship against my friend and tag team partner, Shida.” Hikaru Shida herself asks, “Who is the best? You? Or me? That is the question.” Storm knows what Shida is capable of, how legit she is. Shida says the answer to her own question is: SHIDA! The Shining Samurai, a DOUBLE CHAMPION in Japan, “who carried this division during the pandemic, just like Jon Moxley.” Storm says that just because she respects Shida, doesn’t mean Storm won’t hurt her. Storm vows to walk out still AEW Women’s World Champion.

As if Tuesday wasn’t big enough already! Will Storm strike down Shida? Or will Shida cut through the lightning to take home even more gold?

Nyla Rose w/ Vickie Guerrero & Marina Shafir VS Anna Jay “A S” w/ The JAS!

Speaking of gold, the Native Beast has possession of the AEW TBS Champion, but that’s because she snatched it from ringside. Nyla has been acting like the real champion, so the Queenslayer figures she can become the real champion by winning tonight. Will Anna literally take the title to play champion? Or will Nyla show that not all sports entertainers beat pro-wrestlers?

The bell rings and Nyla circles with Anna. They tie up, Nyla shoves Anna down and smirks. Anna comes back, gets around Nyla and ROCKS her! Nyla gets around Anna to waistlock and SLAM! Nyla floats and facelocks, and then lets off like she scored points. Anna KNEES Nyla, ROCKS her, but Nyla ROCKS Anna back! The forearms fly, Anna knees low again, but runs into a scoop and SLAM! Nyla drags Anna up again, scoops her and SLAMS her again, and then drops a leg! Cover, TWO! Nyla drags Anna back up as Vickie coaches her, and Nyla whips Anna into a corner for a SPLASH! Anna sits down and fans fire up as Nyla calls for it!

Nyla goes corner to corner, but Anna moves! Cannonball hits buckles! Menard & Parker talk trash on Nyla but she swipes at them. Anna hurries over to HOTSHOT Nyla down as AEW goes picture in picture.

Anna soaks up the heat and blows kisses. Anna then drops an elbow, covers, TWO! Anna CHOKES Nyla, digs her knee in and pulls Nyla into the knee. The ref counts, Anna lets off and talks smack on fans. Nyla goes to a corner, Anna runs in and HEEL KICKS! Anna talks more trash, blows more kisses, then she CHOKES Nyla on the ropes! Menard & Parker talk more trash but Shafir and Vickie storm over. The ref keeps his eyes on everyone as Vickie stops Parker from choking Nyla. Anna CLUBS away on Nyla, Vickie flirts with Parker, only to SNAP his suspender straps! Ow! Vickie coaches Nyla but Anna bumps Nyla off buckles.

Anna digs her boot in, the ref counts, and Anna lets off at 4. Parker & Menard applaud as Anna stands Nyla up, just to trip her! Anna runs side to side to somersault and KICK! Anna poses, covers, TWO! Nyla hangs tough and Anna is frustrated. Anny digs her knee in again, the ref counts, and Nyla grabs Anna’s face! Anna lets off and Nyla stands up, but Anna throws body shots. Anna CLUBS Nyla, ROCKS her, then pushes her to a cover, TWO! Anna is frustrated but she drags Nyla up. Nyla blocks the whip, reels Anna in and short arm LARIATS! The Native Beast is back in control as AEW goes to break!

Rampage returns and Nyla has Anna hung out on the ropes. Nyla KNEES Anna, then goes to the corner. Nyla climbs up and aims, FLYING KNEE, but Anna moves! Anna HOTSHOTS Nyla, then hurries in to run and BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Nyla is still in this and the JAS is frustrated. Anna clamps onto Nyla but fans rally up. Anna shouts, “I’M GONNA CHOKE HER OUT!” She wraps on the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Nyla endures, fights up, and snapmares free! Anna goes to a corner, Nyla storms in but into a BOOT! Anna goes up, leaps, but into Nyla’s arms! Nyla RAMS Anna into the corner, then lifts for a BEAST BOMB! Cover, Nyla wins!

Winner: Nyla Rose, by pinfall

Anna Jay gave Nyla one hell of a fight, but in the end, the self-proclaimed AEW TBS Champion wins it out! Vickie even has a poster to say, “1-0!” But they’ve poked fun at THE champion, so here comes Jade!! Followed by her Baddies, Leila Grey & Kiera Hogan, #ThatBitch storms her way down to ringside! But then Leila & Kiera say they’ll handle this because security is in the way. Security steps up to keep them back, as determined as they are. So here comes Jade! She BOOTS one, DECKS one, ELBOWS another, DECKS the same one, then DECKS the last one!! But in this confusion, Nyla and team slip away!

The Vicious Vixens have a little laugh at Jade’s expense, but this is far from over! Will Jade look to end Nyla’s “reign” soon enough?

The Trustbusters speak.

Ari Daivari tells Hook, “You know exactly what was in that envelope. I’m not trying to recruit Hook, I don’t want him to join the Trustbusters. Now that my trust has kicked in, I was trying to share my wealth with the young man. Hook, there was 50 THOUSAND dollars in that envelope that you tore up to purchase the FTW Championship. So since you like to do things the hard way, how about on Rampage, I take the championship from you by any means necessary?!” Daivari Dinero is playing a dangerous game, will he wish he never went after the Cold-Hearted, Handsome Devil?

Private Party’s Contract Ownership: Isiah Kassidy w/ Marq Quen & Matt Hardy VS Ethan Page w/ Stokely Hathaway!

Business is cutthroat in AEW, as Private Party’s contract was sold by the LFI to The Firm! But because Canada’s own All Ego loves a good challenge, he’s willing to gamble. If Kassidy wins, Private Party are free of The Firm and the #HardyParty can finally do things right. But if Kassidy loses, even Matt Hardy is part of The Firm! What happens when the stakes are raised in Toronto?

The bell rings, Ethan throws his jacket at Kassidy like a bad three pointer, and Kassidy catches it. But Ethan BOOTS Kassidy down! Ethan whips Kassidy, CLOBBERS him, and then flexes. Fans rally and duel, Ethan drags Kassidy up to trophy lift and carry around, for a TOSS! Kassidy staggers up and Ethan CLOBBERS him with a shoulder tackle! Hardy coaches Kassidy but Ethan taunts him with a bit of Jeff Hardy’s dance! Hardy says, “DELETE! DELETE!” Ethan blows Hardy a kiss then tells him to kiss this, and he goes back to Kassidy. Kassidy cradles, TWO!! Ethan swings, Kassidy doges to QUEBRADA and tilt-o-whirl DDT! Cover, TWO!!

Ethan bails out but Kassidy builds speed to FLY! The Tornillo takes out Ethan! Kassidy hurries to put Ethan in, but then Stokely gets in the way. Hardy storms up to get in Stokely’s face! Stokely scrambles away, Kassidy goes up and SWANTONS but FLOPS as Ethan dodges! Ethan drags Kassidy up, and steals the TWIST OF FATE! And then crucifix for the EGO’S EDGE!! Cover, Ethan wins!

Winner: Ethan Page, by pinfall (The Firm owns #HardyParty)

The fans are fired up for their hometown hero, but he’s more the villain of the story. What happens now that Matt Hardy is under The Firm’s control?

AEW hears from Best Friends.

Orange Cassidy says, “Hey, boys. I won this.” Cassidy is the NEW AEW All-Atlantic Champion, and Chuck Taylor says, “The boys are back on the stairs and that means we’re calling somebody out. Death Triangle.” Trent Beretta says, “I’m thinking we get some gold for all the boys. One, two, three. The Trios titles. What do you say we do it this Tuesday? Tuesday Night Dynamite.” Hands in, “Tuesday Dynamite” on three. Cassidy just now realizes Dynamite’s on a Tuesday this week. Yes, yes it is. Will Cassidy, Trent & Chuckie T turn the tables around on Pac & The Lucha Brothers by taking all their gold?

Mark Henry speaks with tonight’s main eventers!

The World’s Strongest Man welcomes us back to Rampage, and he starts with Prince Nana & the Embassy. They’ve been “gunning from the go, whether it be AEW or ROH.” Tonight, they’re up against the #TopGuys and Canada’s own, Shawn Spears! How do they feel this will work out? Nana says that he has Ebony & Ivory, and Brian Cage has him stop before he gets too deep into that. The Machine tells the #TopGuys that they’re facing top body guys. And Spears, they have ten different ways to hurt you tonight. The Pinnacle will find out, “Who better than Cage and the Gates of Agony?”

Spears stops Cage there, he’s killing us all. “You 900 pound charisma vacuum. I’ve been waiting five long months. The Perfect 10 is back. There are a few wrongs I need to make right, and tonight, that starts off on home turf with the world’s greatest tag team.” Dax Harwood says Cage, Liona & Kaun are three incredible athletes, they are going to look great on some 8 by 10s. But tonight’s gonna be a fight. If you can’t tell, Dax never backs down from a fight. On Wednesday, the Embassy said that they had them beat, but FTR found the Perfect 10. Cash Wheeler says “The Embassy might be forever, but The Pinnacle is always on top. So Top Guys, out.”

Then it looks like there’s been enough talk. It’s time for the main event! Liona roars as he heads for gorilla, will he, Kaun & Cage look to turn things upside-down?

Six Man Tag: The Pinnacle VS The Embassy!

Fans are fired up to see #PERFECT10N back again, and he’s fired up to be back! Will he and the TRIPLE CHAMPIONS be perfect even in this reunion?

The trios sort out and Spears starts against Cage. Fans are fired up for “TEN! TEN! TEN!” as he circles with Cage. But then Cage powers Spears up and into the Embassy corner! Cage fires off, tags Kaun, but Spears slips away. Spears and Kaun circle, they tie up, and Kaun wrenches to a wristlock. Spears endures, moves around, and rolls through to handspring and wrench back! Spears hooks Kaun up into an Octopus, then he slips around and around and spins Kaun to snapmare! Spears cartwheels to give us… “TEN!” Fans fire up more and Spears CHOPS Kaun to a corner. Spears storms up and climbs up to rain down fists!

Fans count along, but Cage storms over. Spears DECKS him, then finishes his “TEN!” on Kaun! Liona rushes in but Spears dodges to DROPKICK Liona! Liona stays up, so Spears dropkicks the legs out! Liona stumbles to the floor, Spears PLANCHAS! But Cage & Liona catch him together! So Cash runs in to DROPKICK all that over! Fans fire up and AEW goes picture in picture!

Spears gets up and he points to Cash for kudos on that dropkick. Spears fetches Kaun but Nana distracts the ref. Spears puts Kaun in, but Liona and Cage drag Spears down to DOUBLE APRON SPINEBUSTER! Cash protests but the damage is done. Cage puts Spears in the ring for Kaun, Kaun covers, ONE!! Kaun drags Spears by a facelock, he tags in Liona, and the Gates of Agony mug Spears. Liona taunts the fans, then stalks Spears to a corner. Liona RAMS into Spears again and again! Liona drags Spears over, tags in Cage, and they mug Spears now. Cage ROCKS Spears and he falls over. Cage drags Spears back up but Spears throws body shots!

Spears CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS! Spears whips, Cage reverses, and Cage runs in to UPPERCUT in the corner! And then SAIDO! Cage soaks up the heat, covers, TWO! Spears survives but Dax was close by. Cage clamps on a chinlock, he squeezes tight, but Spears fights up. Spears throws body shots, gets free, but Cage wrenches and ELBOWS Spears down! Tag to Kaun, Kaun covers, TWO! Kaun stomps Spears, mocks the “TEN! TEN! TEN!” and then drags Spears up. Spears fights but Kaun keeps him from FTR. Spears keeps pushing, but Kaun KNEES low. Kaun has Spears in the Embassy corner, CLUBS him, then sits him up top.

Tag to Liona, then Liona tags Cage. Kaun climbs up to scoop and hit a TOP ROPE BACKBREAKER! Rampage returns to single picture as Spears flops to the apron. Liona goes out to join him, for an APRON SENTON! Liona roars and the Embassy soaks up the heat. Liona feeds Spears to Cage, for a deadlift SUPERPLEX! Cover, TWO!! Spears survives but again FTR was within reach just in case. Cage slashes his throat and vows to end this. Cage drags Spears up, fireman’s carries, and F- DDT!! Spears turns things around and fans are thunderous! Spears and Cage crawl, hot tag to Kaun! Kaun intercepts Spears and wags his finger at FTR.

Kaun says this happens on his time, but Spears slips under! Kaun hurries to grab a leg and keep Spears back! Spears BOOTS Kaun away, hot tag to Dax! Dax the Ax JABS away on Kaun then DECKS him! Liona runs in but Dax baits him into the corner! Liona tumbles up and out to the floor! Dax whips Kaun but Kaun ducks, only to run into a SPINEBUSTER! Fans are thunderous for “FTR! FTR!” Cage storms in and he DISCUS LARIATS Dax! Then Cage DECKS Cash! Fans boo but Kaun covers Dax, TWO!! Dax is still in this and Kaun is shocked. Kaun drags Dax up, fireman’s carries, and he tags Cage.

Cage climbs, Kaun his an AIR RAID CRASH! Cage hits a MACHO ELBOW! Cover, but Spears breaks it! Fans fire up, Liona returns to run at Spears! Spears dodges to dump Liona out! Cage fireman’s carries Spears for a F5!! Cage roars, he drags Dax up, and he tags Kaun in. Cage and Kaun coordinate, but Cash saves Dax from the double suplex! They double trip Cage and Kaun, for DOUBLE SHARPSHOOTERS!! Canada is electric for this one! Nana gets on the apron but Spears TOSSES him into the ring! Spears drags Nana around, and we have a THIRD SHARPSHOOTER!! Fans are electric for this shoutout to the Harts!

But Liona runs in to CLOBBER Cash and Spears! Liona grabs Dax while fans boo, and Liona reels Dax in, URENAGE! Fans boo more but Liona snarls as he goes out and aims. Liona runs in, but Cash saves Dax, Liona runs into the steel steps! But Cage grabs Dax, only for Spears to SUPERKICK! Cage comes back, Spears dodges the discus to mule kick a leg! Spears then hits a BASEMENT DDT to the floor! Fans fire up as all six men are down around the ringside! Dax shoulders into Kaun, slingshots up and over, but Kaun sits on the sunset, while holding ropes! Cash slaps those hands away and Dax is out at TWO!

Kaun is upset with Cash and takes a swing, but Cash avoids it! Dax rushes in, Cash sneaks a tack, Dax whips and then tag to Spears! HART ATTACK from FTR! FTR feeds Spears for the C4!! Cover, The Pinnacle wins!!

Winners: The Pinnacle, by pinfall

Now that is how you make a homecoming! It may not have been #PERFECT10N, but- Wait, wait, what? Matt Taven and Maria & Mike Kanellis-Bennett?! THE KINGDOM IS BACK!! And Maria introduces herself as “The First Lady of Professional Wrestling,” and she says The Kingdom had to come out here because FTR call themselves Top Guys, but they’ve never faced The Kingdom. Those ROH World and IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team titles belonged to The Kingdom first. AEW and everything it is built on was on The Kingdom’s backs, but The Kingdom’s never gotten the credit they deserve! “So let me introduce you to the real top guys: Mike Bennett, Matt Taven… We are The Kingdom!”

But then The Embassy attacks The Pinnacle from behind! But The Kingdom is also heading to the ring, The Pinnacle is getting mugged by two teams! That’s 5v3 in favor of The Embassy and Kingdom, and Mike sets Cash up on top. Liona adds a HEADBUTT before Mike brings Cash out in a backpack, DROPKICK STUNNER COMBO!! But wait! HERE COMES WARJOE!!! Samoa Joe & Wardlow are not going to be left out of this! Fans are thunderous as the AEW TNT and ROH World TV Champions storm right up to the ring. Nana bails out, The Embassy follows, as does The Kingdom! They don’t want a fair 5v5, but will they have no choice?

My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here that acted as a go-home to what is becoming a HUGE Tuesday Night Dynamite. Of course, AEW is setting up this special Tuesday episode to be huge because it has to compete with NXT’s go-home to Halloween Havoc. We’re getting FOUR title matches, with a great promo from Best Friends to call out Death Triangle, a great vignette from Storm and Shida before they have their… Well, is it no longer interim? Is Thunder Rosa going to be out of action so long that Storm is just THE champion by default? Either way, Storm VS Shida is going to be awesome, but I would think Storm wins because otherwise Shida has three belts.

We also got a great opening tag match from BCC VS Butcher & Blade. Naturally, BCC wins because Moxley needs momentum going into his title match with Hangman. We got a very good group promo from the Jericho Appreciation Society to explain Garcia’s reason for returning to the group. And while I was expecting Jay Lethal, I’m gladly surprised that Dalton Castle stepped up to the plate. Castle is a great example of pro-wrestling skill and sports entertainment charisma, he’s a great next opponent for Jericho, but as such, Jericho is surely winning. We might even see Jericho, Menard & Parker going for the ROH Six Man titles at some point just to add to the JAS “defacing” the ROH legacy.

Great promo from Dark Order to basically adjust from not having Vance VS Andrade, and it was great that Stu Grayson came back. I hope he sticks around, AEW had a chance to make Uno & Stu tag title contenders, maybe they do that right this time. Good promo from Daivari calling out Hook, but I’m thinking Hook beats Daivari. Hopefully it’s more of a competitive match so we can see what more Hook has as a wrestler. Good promo from Swerve and Keith, they’re of course back on the dysfunction story and that’s good for the intrigue. Ethan VS Kassidy was not as strong or as long of a match as I had hoped, but I’m even more surprised Ethan won. This will of course lead to #HardyParty reluctantly doing Heel things until they refuse and fight back.

Really good match from Nyla VS Anna, and Anna looked strong even though she lost. The Baddies storming down to the ring was a natural move, but that was rather clever that Nyla and team managed to sneak away. I wonder if Diamante will get in on this, as she has teamed with Nyla in the past, and she has her real-life relationship with Kiera Hogan to play off of. But I would hope they think to write this with a ringside ban on everyone so that it’s just Jade and Nyla for the title. Jade’s proven she doesn’t need interference to win, but she has used it when things weren’t going her way. She should reach 40-0 without even so much as a distraction if it’s to look strong.

And a great trios main event. Great to see Spears back, and of course he and FTR win out. The Kingdom making a reunion and AEW debut was a shocker, and now there’s a team that might actually take those ROH World Tag Team Championships off FTR. But with that final brawl where #WARJOE ran off The Kingdom and Embassy, I wonder if we’ll get Blood & Guts match for the Fall. I mean, why not? It’s a match type, it doesn’t need to be limited to one time a year like WWE’s done with Hell in a Cell. Plus, Blood & Guts with these ten guys would be awesome.

My Score: 8.7/10
