AEW mourns the loss of Brian “Mongo” Muster.
AEW’s lead video engineer unexpectedly passed away earlier this week. “In addition to being an exceptional colleague, Brian was a dedicated father, fiancé, and friend. Many of those closest to Brian are part of our production team, and we appreciate their hard work every night, but tonight especially. Thank you, Brian. You will be missed.”

Tony Schiavone has a sit-down talk with Jade Cargill.
The AEW TBS Champion wants her belt back, and she threatened to hijack all of Rampage to do it. Schiavone says that there is also the misfortune of Penelope Ford being unable to compete tonight, so one of The Baddies, Leila Grey, has been named as the replacement as a deal to placate Jade. Jade tells Schiavone to “cut the s*it,” because she is once again saving AEW’s precious Rampage. “As you all know, I am a professional, a woman of my word, unlike you, Tony Schiavone.” Jade set up Leila to whoop Willow Nightingale’s ass “and send her back to the indies where she belongs.”
Schiavone starts to say Jade will get her chance, and Jade says she better get her chance, to confront Nyla Rose in the ring tonight. Jade says she didn’t come here to save the show. This is a deal: Jade gives AEW Leila, and AEW gets Jade her belt back. PERIOD. Jade storms off, will AEW compel Nyla Rose to return the title to #ThatBitch?
Backstage interview with The Lucha Brothers, Eddie Kingston & Ortiz.
Alex stands with them all and notes that Ortiz asked for this time. Ortiz says yes, because he says Eddie’s got a problem. He’s been losing it, he’s been outta control, and Ortiz wanted everyone here to talk with him because they all care about him. Penta El Zero Miedo tells his “best friend,” “I know you are one of the best wrestlers in the world, but calmate,” take it easy! Rey Fenix adds that he remembers the first time they met Eddie. They all have the same mentor, and Eddie is a superstar. Alex Abrahantes tells Eddie that he knows how much the Lucha Brothers care about him. They don’t want Eddie losing his temper and losing another job.
Fenix wants to say more, but then The Bastard, Pac, speaks up. “Listen to them, Eddie. They’re champions. Compose yourself. How did that work out for you at Grand Slam, huh? In your own backyard…” Eddie is upset with Pac, but Ortiz says he didn’t invite Pac. The intervention may not have gone smoothly, but will the Mad King learn to be less mad?
FTW Championship: Hook VS Ari Daivari w/ Jeeves Kay!
The champions keep showing up in Jacksonville as now the Cold-Hearted, Handsome Devil settles things with the arrogant Persian Lion. Daivari Dinero thinks he can just buy titles off those more deserving, but will he need all that money for hospital bills after this?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, as we’ll see if Daivari can put his money where his mouth is!
The bell rings but Daivari wants everyone to hold on. Daivari understands Hook didn’t wanna let Daivari buy the title. Maybe Hook’s not a check guy, maybe he doesn’t have a bank account and likes straight cash. Daivari gives Hook one last chance before kicking his ass and taking the belt. Take the money- Hook SLAPS the money away! Daivari scrambles to pick up the Benjamins, Hook picks Daivari up for an EXPLODER! Daivari bails out and Hook storms over, only for Daivari to trip him up and drag him out! Daivari brings Hook over but Hook blocks the bump to bump Daivari off the timekeeper’s table!
Daivari hurries into the ring, and Jeeves stands in Hook’s way! Hook gets around the butler but Daivari bumps Hook off buckles! Daivari fires off hands while fans rally for Hook. Daivari stomps a mudhole, he lets off at 4, and Daivari soaks up the heat. Jeeves cheers his boss on while Daivari puts Hook through ropes. Daivari hooks Hook up to CHOP! Daivari fires off haymakers, the ref counts, and Daivari lets off at 4, to BOOT Hook down! Fans boo but Jeeves slaps Hook with the cash! Daivari drags Hook up, puts him in a corner and he tells Hook he should’ve taken the money while he had the chance.
Hook blocks a punch to fire off body shots! Hook backs Daivari down, fires off in the other corner, but the ref backs Hook down. Hook storms up but into a BOOT! Daivari runs, into an STO! Hook rolls Daivari and hooks a leg for a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Fans fire up with Hook, he stalks up on Daivari, but Jeeves distracts! O’Conner Roll, with tights! TWO!! Hook dodges Daivari and CLOBBERS Jeeves! But Daivari SUPERKICKS! Hook wobbles, Daivari reels him in, URENAGE! Cover, TWO!! Hook survives and Daivari is furious! Daivari slaps Hook around, brings him up, and wrenches to hammerlock. Hook ducks the lariat to whip Daivari to the apron!
Hook runs over, Daivari shoulders him away. Daivari swings, into the REDRUM!! Hook drags Daivari into the body scissors, Daivari taps! Hook wins!!
Winner: Hook, by submission
Hook holds on to make Daivari pay for his disrespect. Jeeves tries to wake Daivari up, but Hook gets him for REDRUM! Hook puts the butler to bed and stuffs the money in Jeeves’ mouth. Hook proved that he can’t be bought, but will anyone be able to prove Hook can be beat?
Backstage interview with The Firm.
Lexi Nair is with Stokely Hathaway, Ethan Page and Matt Hardy as she notes The Firm won control of the contracts of both Private Party and Matt Hardy. What is the Firm’s plan now? Hardy asks that, too! Why is he here? Where’s Private Party? Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen are at the Stokely Hathaway Wrestling Academy so they can work on their fundamentals. Ethan says they can get the Hardy stink off them, too. So why is Hardy still here? Because he has a match. Tonight?! No, TV time is for people like Ethan. Hardy has a match on Elevation! Read your contract.
Now Hardy sees what this is: he’s being put in his place as the “uncultured” Matt Hardy. Matt starts rapping? “I got some contract from some punks the other day. I opened and read it, it said was suckers. They wanted me for The Firm or whatever, picture me givin’ a damn, I said NEVER!” Stokely is speechless and leaves. Ethan follows and Hardy smiles and waves as he says, “See you Monday.” Just what is going to happen now that Hardy is under the thumb of The Firm?
Leila Grey w/ Kiera Hogan VS Willow Nightingale!
Instead of Mrs. Superbad, we get a Baddie! But will Leila make Jade proud by purging the ever positive powerhouse from AEW? Or will Willow upset #ThatBitch with a big win in Jacksonville?
The bell rings and Willow circles with Leila. They approach but Leila dodges to strut around. Fans rally for Willow and she circles with Leila again. They approach again, Leila dodges again, but Willow comes right up behind her to waistlock! Willow lifts and SLAMS Leila, then floats to a facelock. Leila fights up, stomps a foot and powers Willow to a corner. Leila throws body shots but the ref counts. Leila digs her boot in, Willow pushes it away, but Leila ROCKS Willow with a right! Leila digs her boot in again but Willow pushes it back down. Leila whips corner to corner, Willow handsprings and comes back to waistlock!
Willow shoves Leila to run her over on the return! Fans fire up as Willow flexes! Leila gets to the apron, Willow drags her up, but Leila HOTSHOTS her away! Leila hurries in but Willow gets around to short arm LARIAT! Willow drags Leila up for another short arm LARIAT! And then again, but Leila throws an elbow! Willow just roars at her! Willow scoops and SLAMS Leila down! Fans fire up more and Willow taunts Kiera. Leila bails out, Willow gives chase, but Kiera grabs at Willow’s foot! Willow kicks Kiera away, and now Willow swings on her. Kiera dodges to SUPERKICK! The ref was busy with Leila and Keira gets away with it as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Leila goes out to fire forearms on Willow. Willow throws body shots, Leila CLUBS Willow, and Leila bumps Willow off the apron. Willow stumbles, Leila drags her up and CLUBS her against the apron. Leila refreshes the count and puts Willow in the ring. Leila takes her time returning and Willow throws body shots. Leila CLUBS Willow, t hen runs to SHOTGUN Willow down! Leila keeps moving to BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Willow is powering up! Leila drags Willow up but Willow throws body shots. Leila CLUBS Willow down again, reels her in, but Willow throws more body shots. Willow turns things around for a NECKBREAKER!
Willow runs but Leila avoids the SENTON! Both women are down and Leila hurries after Willow. Leila stomps away, then she clamps onto Willow with a chinlock. Leila stretches Willow back but Willow endures and fights up. Leila becomes a backpack, and Willow RAMS her into a corner! Willow is free, and she throws more body shots as Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and both women are down. Willow crawls over to Leila, drags her around and throws forearms. Willow whips Leila to a corner, runs in and back body blocks! Then turns around to LARIAT!

Leila staggers, Willow shoves her into Kiera! Willow and Leila scrap, Willow ROUNDHOUSES Leila down! Willow hauls Leila up, gut wrenches for the DOCTOR BOMB! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
Well, Jade’s going to be disappointed that her girls couldn’t get it done. Will Willow prove she’s worth of another title opportunity down the line?
Schiavone interviews Willow in the ring about this unexpected change in the match. Give it up for Willow as she is officially ALL ELITE! Fans fire up for the graphic and the news! Willow hugs Schiavone, but here comes #ThatBitch! Jade storms her way out to the ring, and she has a chair. Willow lets Jade and The Baddies have the ring, and Jade takes a seat. Kiera snatches the mic to give it to Jade. “Nyla. Since I’m a classy woman and not some bum ass thief, I’ma give you 10 seconds to bring me back my belt.” Jade starts counting it down, fans count along, and at “TWO!” the tron shows us Marina Shafir & Vickie Guerrero!
“Hey, Jade!” “Hi, Jade!” Is Jade looking for this? In the driver’s seat of the car, it’s Nyla Rose! “And I said, JAaAAaaAADE! JaaaaAaaade, Jade, Jade… Is this what you’re looking for?” The TBS Championship belt! Nyla tells Jade, “I know you’re looking for me, and I know you’re looking for the championship. However, I miss Jacksonville way too much. We got your keys from valet, thanks for the lift. Bye~!” The Vicious Vixens just jacked Jade’s ride! The Baddies hurry but it’s too late, Nyla’s taking off! Jade shouts, “I meant what I said! I’m not leaving this ring until I get my belt back!” Jade takes a seat, but security steps in?
Jade DECKS one guard, then another! Jade gets pissed and she dares security to bring it! And then she DECKS another! Jade is leaving the ring after all, will she hunt down the Native Beast until they finally have it out in the ring?
AEW shares footage from Thursday night.
It was 10 PM Eastern in Daily’s Place, and Alex Marvez was interviewing Preston Vance on his issues with La Faccion Ingobernable. But then Jose the Assistant walked in to inform everyone that this is his absolute last chance to join LFI. He doesn’t have to face Rush, but- Vance says it doesn’t matter. He wants to face Rush, he doesn’t want an LFI contract. But then Rush walks in and tells Vance that he needs to listen. This is the first and last time Rush will say this: bring the fight because Rush will beat his ass! But then wait, Orange Cassidy pops up from behind the bar?! Cassidy has his backpack, and he brings out his All-Atlantic Championship!
“Hey. What’s up. You guys see this yet? I won it. In Canada. Uh… Want some beers?” Vance tells Cassidy his mask doesn’t have a mouth. Bummer. What about Rush? Rush doesn’t want Cassidy’s drink, he wants that title, and he wants Vance! Cassidy can help Rush out then. “If you want that (the belt), and you wanna fight that (Vance), I’ll fight you both. At the same time. For that (the belt).” The Freshly Squeezed All-Atlantic Champion is very daring! But will he regret stacking the odds against himself? Or can Cassidy beat both The Dark Order’s Ten and El Toro Blanco?
Mark Henry interviews two-thirds of tonight’s main event.
The World’s Strongest Man welcomes us back, and gets video bombed by Cassidy? Cassidy seems to think he’s doing the interview. But since he’s here, Mark Henry asks Cassidy why he’s getting in on Vance VS Rush, and putting his title on the line? “Um… I dunno. I felt like it?” Vance says he’s very glad Cassidy felt like it, because not only will Vance get to beat Rush’s ass all over Jacksonville, he gets to walk out the NEW All-Atlantic Champion! Rush tells Ten that when he beats Vance, Vance will learn what Ingobernable means! Jose tells Cassidy that he’s about to have the shortest title reign in AEW history because El Toro Blanco is taking that title!
“And listen to me, perros!” Rush tells them both. “When you mess with the bull, you get the horns!” Cassidy steals Mark Henry’s line! “Well, it looks like there’s been enough talk.” Mark stops him there to finish it up. “It’s time…! For the main event!”
AEW All-Atlantic Championship Triple Threat: Orange Cassidy w/ Danhausen & Best Friends VS Rush w/ Jose VS Preston Vance w/ Negative One!
As if there weren’t enough changes to the grudge match between LFI and The Dark Order, now there’s a golden prize on the line! Will Rush gain both a championship and a henchman? Will Number Ten become the number one? Or will somehow, someway, Orange Cassidy come out still with that title in his backpack?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who defies the odds to close out the night!
The bell rings and Vance fires off forearms with Rush! They were meant to fight all along, and Cassidy stays back to let them have it out. DOUBLE FOREARMS make both men wobble, but then they realize Cassidy is just standing there. Cassidy puts his hands up, and then into his pockets! Cassidy unleashes the “devastating” shin kicks! To Rush! Then Vance! Then back again! And then he “powers up,” but Rush DECKS Vance! Rush runs at Cassidy but Cassidy dodges and ducks and SHOTGUNS! And kips up! Fans fire up with Cassidy as he builds speed to DIVE at Vance! Direct hit and Vance hits railng!

Fans fire up as Vance returns but Rush DECKS him again! Rush drags Vance up to RAM into railing! Rush takes someone’s water to SPLASH Vance! And then he smacks Vance off the timekeeper’s table! And then RAMS him into the wall! Vance takes a seat and Rush goes back to find Cassidy. Rush RAMS Cassidy into railing, then he starts looking under the ring. Rush and Vance brawl again, but Rush snapmares Vance down.
Fans tell Rush off as he drags spare camera cables out! He LASHES Vance, then CHOKES him! Rush makes Vance suffer as there are no disqualifications in Triple Threats. Rush lets off and soaks up the heat. Vance sputters while Rush blows kisses to the fans. Rush goes back for Cassidy again, and he snapmares Cassidy to then stomp him down! Rush steps on Cassidy, Jose brings him the camera cable, and Rush LASHES Cassidy in the leg! And then CHOKES him like he did to Vance! Cassidy endures, the ref reprimands but Rush lets off. Rush argues with the ref, but then Rush goes back for Vance. Rush CHOPS Vance, then puts him in the ring.
Rush hurries in but Vance LARIATS! And LARIATS again! And LARIATS again! Rush bails out, Vance pursues, and now Vance CHOPS Rush! And ROCKS him! Rush ROCKS Vance, and again! Cassidy DIVES in! But both men catch him, and bring him over, DOUBLE CHOKE SLAM on the table! The table doesn’t break but Cassidy might have! Rush sets the table up against the wall while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Rush drags Cassidy up, brings him around, and he wants Vance to help him. Vance agrees, only to CLUB Rush on the back! Vance brings Rush around but Rush whips Vance through the table! Rush grins as he stands tall, but it seems only Jose is applauding. Rush paces around before he drags Vance up and into the ring. Rush stands Vance up in a corner, asks fans to be quiet, and he CHOPS! Vance is stinging but Rush CHOPS again! Rush whips corner to corner, run sin and SPLASHES! Rush snapmares and basement dropkicks! Cocky cover, TWO! Rush argues but the ref says that was a fair count.

Rush mocks the Dark Order’s claw hand, then he drags Vance up to DECK him! Rush kicks Vance around, has him in a corner, and he stands on Vance’s head! Rush hops up to the corner to soak up heat. Jose CHOKES Vance! The ref can only reprimand as Rush also digs his boots in. Vance throws body shots in return abut Rush DECKS him again! Rush tears at the mask! Danhausen coaches Cassidy while the ref reprimands Rush.
Rush argues with the ref, there’s nothing wrong in a No Disqualifications setting. Rush clamps on a chinlock to grind Vance down, but Vance fights his way up. Vance throws body shots, then ROCKS Rush! Vance ROCKS Rush again and Rampage returns to single picture. Vance runs in, Rush puts him on the apron and ROCKS him! Rush runs but into a SLINGSHOT SPEAR!

Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (still AEW All-Atlantic Champion)
It was a Triple Threat on a whim, and Cassidy still comes out on top! Cassidy is still champion, who will be next for him and this title? As for Vance and Rush, this is far from over, but Vance leaves with Negative One. When and where will The Dark Order and LFI settle this once and for all?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for Rampage to follow up the big night on Tuesday. The Acclaimed opening the night was a good move, and it was a really good match with the “Varsity Athletes,” another thing Sterling stole from within AEW. But of course The Acclaimed retained and won back the scissor finger gag, and now they’ll await the winner of next Wednesday’s #1 contenders match. Hook VS Daivari was very good, especially for that Hook wasn’t just squashing Daivari. It had the usual Heel moves of Daivari’s corner man interfering and distracting, but Hook established he can overcome that and is still champion. I feel like a prolonged feud with The Trustbusters could help Hook finally get past the squash matches and into something more.
I’m a little confused by the switch from Penelope to Leila. Maybe they wanted Willow to get a win on the night she’s announced to be officially part of AEW, and it would’ve really hurt Penelope’s own return push if she lost here. Either way, this is great for Willow, even if the AEW Women’s Division is still struggling for time in the ring, because at least now Willow is on contract and is getting that money. We got a good bit from Nyla and her crew, though, as they take even more things from Jade. There’s still a lot of time before Full Gear, so I’m sure there will be even more confrontations and gags between Jade and Nyla before the big match.
Good promo bit from The Firm, though I’m as perplexed by rapper Matt Hardy as Stokely. I suppose this could be the start of Hardy’s “fighting against a corrupt boss” story like we’ve seen in pro-wrestling before, and he might drive Stokely so crazy that he lets Hardy out of his contract. Nice “intervention” promo segment from Eddie Kingston and all his friends, but it’s a roundabout way to setting up what was almost obvious here: trios championship feud. Eddie & Ortiz will find a third man and they will challenge Death Triangle at Full Gear. Personally, I would’ve loved for Santana to be the third man, but last I remember, he just wasn’t feeling it anymore and stepped away from wrestling.
I find it very interesting how AEW has danced around Vance VS anyone from LFI. They waited too long on Vance VS Andrade and then Andrade gets himself into trouble fighting with Sammy Guevara. Then they audible to Vance VS Rush but take their time, and then just throw Cassidy and the All-Atlantic title onto it. The way they set the Triple Threat up was really goofy, but I suppose that follows Cassidy’s character. This was Cassidy’s first defense, so it’s quite a big one under his belt. And because we haven’t had Vance VS Rush 1v1, that will definitely come back around for either next Rampage or for the Full Gear Buy-In. And at this point, I don’t know which way it’ll go, but I feel it could go either way and it’d still work out as Vance has improved in the ring and even on the mic.
My Score: 8.6/10

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!
Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles. Not only that, but it is against the three men that won that $300,000 Rampage Holiday Bash battle royal back in 2022. Will the Death Riders continue their reign of terror? Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!
The trios sort out, and The Decoder starts against Darius Martin. The fans rally up as the bell rings. Yuta and Darius circle, tie up, and Yuta wrenches to a hammerlock. Darius reaches back to headlock, then he chinbars into a cravat. Yuta spins through to trip Darius and has a toehold. Darius endures while fans rally.

BREAKING NEWS for April!
Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-
NO, Mortos stops the ride to chicken wing Hologram! But Hologram victory rolls through, TWO! Mortos has it, TWO! Both men stand, Hologram rolls Mortos but Mortos powers through to a cover, ONE! They both stand, Mortos HEADBUTTS Hologram down! The fans fire up, then Mortos runs to sunset flip! Hologram rolls through, Komander tags in, and Komander springboards to SPLASH! Komander bounces off the cover, comes back and tilt-o-whirl RANAAS! Mortos flounders away, Dralistico tags in. Mortos BOOTS Komander, Dralistico springboards but Komander dodges. Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!
Dralistico runs back in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Harley says this is “Luchamazing!” Dralistico fires up, runs up, but Komander blocks! Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend. Harley says she forgot, but she’s gotta go, she’ll be back. Harley hops off commentary, who is she going to call?
Komander puts Dralistico on the apron but Dralistico mule kicks Hologram! Dralistico dodges Komander’s tiger feint kick, and Komander ends up on the apron. Mortos runs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up! Fans lose their minds, Harley scampers off, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mortos drags Hologram up, SMACKS him back down, and Dralistico sends Komander into railing! Then Dralistico drags Komander up, RAILING BACKBREAKER! Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref. Dralistico then drags Komander up, brings him around, and whips him to ropes. Dralistico ELBOWS Komander down, tags in Mortos, and Mortos fires up. Mortos NECK TWISTS Komander! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!
Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!
Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here! And suspiciously wearing gear just like Harley’s. Dralistico TOSSES Hologram in just for fun, then stands him up to CHOP! Dralistico runs at Komander in the other corner, but Komander breaks free!

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

AEW TNT Championship: Daniel Garcia VS Adam Cole!
No time to waste, we’re jumping right to the action! Red Death and the Panama City Playboy had their previous match rudely interrupted, but now there is a ringside ban on EVERYBODY! Will Garcia prove he’s still the Face of TNT? Or will the title become Undisputed?
No introductions, the belt is raised, and it’s time to see who gets dunked on!
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Garcia and Cole hear the dueling from Omaha, and they step up. Cole offers a handshake, Garcia takes it, and the fans cheer. The two circle, tie up, and Cole wrenches to a wristlock. Garcia wrenches to wristlock in return, but Cole turns that back onto Garcia. Garcia reaches out, rolls, rolls, and rolls! Cole lets him free and Garcia wags a finger. The fans rally up as Garcia puts up the dukes, and does his dance! Cole smirks and circles with Garcia again. They feel things out, knuckle lock, then Cole wrenches and hammerlocks. Garcia reaches back to headlock, then shifts around to grind the hold.
The fans rally, Cole powers up but can’t power out as Garcia holds tight! Cole fights up and powers out the second try, but Garcia runs him over! Things keep moving, Garcia rolls over the dropdown but Cole arm-drags. Then Cole avoids Garcia’s arm-drag, to say, “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” The fans fire up, and Garcia smirks. Garcia and Cole reset, circle, and the fans fire up more. The two tie up, Garcia waistlocks, but Cole switches. Garcia headlocks again, then wrenches right away.

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!

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?

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.

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
