AEW takes a closer look at Jon Moxley VS MJF.
The Maniac says, “There is no other Jon Moxley in the sport of professional wrestling.” And Maxwell Jacob Friedman says, “Jon Moxley is the best wrestler in the world, for now.” Excalibur says we’ve seen a different side out of MJF lately, but Moxley says MJF “is a child.” Jim Ross says that if nothing else, MJF is “very, very intelligent.” Taz says that MJF wanting to earn it this time… “Okay.” Excalibur says this is something MJF has never really done in AEW. JR says it’ll take the match of a lifetime for MJF to win.
Excalibur says Moxley has proven he’s the best wrestler in the world today, and Moxley says that he has “stared into the void of death. What’re you gonna do to me?” Will the Blue Eyed Battler be unstoppable as world champion? Or will the Devil of AEW have the prize he’s wanted for so long?
Darby Allin has another video.
It shows a smashed guitar a la Jeff Jarrett, and two body bags. Those body bags do some crowd surfing at a concert, and then end up in the middle of the desert. Sting hauls one body bag into his car and drives off. the bag unzips, and it’s Darby Allin. Darby hops up front and the Relentless Icons drive. Sting says, “Full Gear… It’s showtime.”
Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh respond.
They applaud the video and Sonjay says Sting and Darby cruising down the highway, they can show up at Full Gear because that is all he’s been wanting! Jeff Jarrett then walks in and says that he’s got this. “Sting. 24 years ago when we stepped foot in the ring against each other for the first time. You want to use your catchphrase for Full Gear, saying ‘It’s Showtime!’ Well Saturday night at Full Gear, it’s gonna be your LAST time.” Jeff then tells the camera to back up off him already. Will Double J & Jay have the final say on Sting’s legacy?
Anthony Bowens w/ Max Caster & Billy Gunn VS Swerve Strickland!
The Acclaimed will settle things with #SwerveInOurGlory at Full Gear, but we get a sampler as the Five Tool Player takes on Swerve 1v1! Will Bowens remind Swerve that EVERYONE loves The Acclaimed? Or will Bowens get lost in Whose House? SWERVE’S HOUSE!
But of course, Platinum Max has a diss track on deck! “Acclaimed getting warmed up for Full Gear with the brand new video world premiere! Swerve In Our Glory, yo, you ain’t special. Y’all’re ’bout to get burned like Jay Leno! We goin’ viral again! Swerve’s mad, I think he’s on his cycle again! Bowens gonna put him in the grave, and in Connecticut, everybody loves The Acclaimed!” Bowens gets the mic to say, “BRRRIIIDGEPOOOORT~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass!” And the moment we’ve all been waiting for, their brand new music video!
Captain Insano!? The Ass Boys attacked him from behind, and Captain Insano will show them no mercy! Harsh words from a powerful man. But then someone calls in. It’s Keith Lee & Sneaky Swerve! “Captain Insano. We were wondering the statistical probability of Swerve In Our Glory beating the Acclaimed to regain our tag team championships at Full Gear.” Insano & The Acclaimed laugh! It’s ZERO!! Nice Water Boy reference.
“It’s eye for an eye, you be looking like Fetty Wap. You got your nose sticking out like a Netty Pot. You think you can beat The Acclaimed, but I bet you not. You’ve gotta better chance of doing that heavy squat. Bird-leg Swerve’s not tough in the street. Keep writing whack raps that’ll put me to sleep. Put some flowers on your grave like three petunias, and your tag partner looks like Cleveland Jr. This one goes out to Sneaky Swerve and Keith Lee, make the fans at home just turn off their TV. You nervous-Lee speak, Acclaimed at Full Gear, you need more than two gears in your whole career.
“How you gonna be a rapper and you can’t spit? How you gonna be a mogul on the D List? Selfies with unknown celebrities. Big fat stacks, little D energy! Eye for an eye, hand for a hand, don’t cross the line, you don’t stand where I stand. Acclaimed in the house, yeah, we cancel your plans. You will never be the tags champs again! Scissoring the only thing bringing world peace. Man, you got your family up in the dirt sheets. Fake stories, talk about how esteemed you are. Only a snake would align with the media.
“You got anemia, you at a lighter weight. I dangled you off the side of Empire State. Nobody’s repping insecurity like you do. Red carpet paparazzi gotta ask, ‘Who’re you?’ At All Out, we saw you’re not popular. At Grand Slam, you were not what you thought you were. Full Gear, the Acclaimed, no stopping us. We leave you with the IV, repping heart monitor.” The video ends with the flatline, and fans cheer. But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Caster may have talked big, but can Bowens win big for his team tonight?

Sneaky Swerve? This was Sinister Swerve! Will Bowens be in any shape to help Caster defend the tag titles? Or will the Acclaimed have no choice but to #BaskInTheirGlory?
AEW takes a closer look at Jade Cargill VS Nyla Rose.
THE AEW TBS Champion says she has given this company her blood, sweat and tears, and yet someone can just come and steal her belt and no one can do anything about it? Tony Schiavone says Nyla’s antics “have really, really worked in her favor. She basically put herself in contention for the TBS title by stealing the belt.” Renee Paquette says she’s been around firsthand to see how pissed off Jade is not having the physical belt, and to feel this disrespected. But the Native Beast tells Jade, “When you came here to AEW, you thought you were gonna run roughshod all over the Women’s Division. Well guess what? Brrrrrring! It was me calling! Your wake-up call!”
Nyla vows to show Jade exactly why the most violent storms are named after people! But Jade says that when she gets her hands on Nyla and get that belt back, it won’t be a game! Will Jade stay the UNDEFEATED TBS Champion? Or will Nyla finally be the one to dethrone #ThatBitch?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
“Needless to say, a week ago, it was wild and it was crazy. And a lot of questions. With that in mind, here is the ROH World Television Champion, Samoa Joe!” The Samoan Submission Specialist makes his way out, and despite what he did to Wardlow, fans still chant his name. Joe gets in the ring with Schiavone and Schiavone says that was a shocker last week as we saw the end of #WARJOE. Why exactly did all of that go down? Fans now chant for “WARD~LOW!” and Joe says first and foremost, it is an honor to be in the ring with Schiavone. He reminds Joe of an old acquaintance named Paul, but hopefully this goes better than that.
That said, it was a “shocker” what Joe did to Wardlow? That it was unexpected? Schiavone says yes, it was. Joe asks Schiavone a question back: “Is it shocking for a man to refuse to be a victim. Is it shocking to hear somebody stating the fact that they want something from you, and you take it for face value and you take action? Is that shocking, Tony Schiavone?” Well, put it that way, then no. So then is it shocking that Wardlow, week after week, came here, ran his mouth and failed to recognize the most dangerous man in the room? For that mistake, he paid the ultimate price! Because Joe refuses to wait around and be a victim, unlike most of the fans in this arena tonight!
Fans boo but Joe says they’re the type of people to wait around for the storm to hit! The type of people who sit around and wait for someone to save them! Joe saves himself! And if anyone has a problem with that, they can take it up with Joe. But wait! POWERHOUSE WILL HOBBS heads out! Hobbs has his music stop so he can say, “Congratulations, Joe, but you’re a little bit late to the party. If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been the one kicking Wardlow’s ass for the pass several weeks. So why don’t I come down to the ring and kick your ass, champ?” Joe says he wants to see if Hobbs bumps knuckles as good as he flaps his gums! Joe tells Hobbs to get his ass in the ring!
Hobbs storms up, but here come WARDLOW! The AEW TNT Champion’s music puts Hobbs on edge, but Wardlow isn’t coming down the ramp! He hops the railing and SPEARS Joe in the ring! Wardlow rains down hands, Hobbs rushes in and goes after Wardlow! They brawl now, but then Joe rushes the two of them! The locker room sends out the biggest and bulkiest, like Josh Woods, The Butcher, The Blade and then some, and then even security rushes in! Fans want to “Let Them Fight!” but Hobbs slips out the side. Joe also exits, but Wardlow DECKS guard after guard! The Dark Order decide to just let Wardlow go.
Wardlow snarls and builds speed?! Wardlow FLIES onto the cluster!! Wardlow bowls over everyone, and then he tears off his shirt! He says this is Wardlow’s World, but will he topple two mountainous men to prove it?
Britt Baker speaks.
“Four times. Four times, Saraya, you stared me dead in the eyes and told me I don’t have what it takes to be a star. You reminded everyone that I’ve only been on television for three years. But in those three years, I went from a nervous, happy-to-be-here girl to a confident, tenacious, face of this company. In three years, I became a leader, and learned very quickly as a leader, you take all the blame when everyone else receives the credit. In three years, I became my own damn role model.
“And I wasn’t handed anything that you weren’t also handed, and that is an opportunity. I took that opportunity and I ran with it until I became undeniable, until every fan in that arena says it with me when I tell them I’m Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. And no, I didn’t wrestle in Madison Square Garden, but do you know where I did wrestle? In Daily’s Place. In Jacksonville, Florida, for over a year. When the fans couldn’t come to us, we were there for them. We kept the fire of professional wrestling burning in the darkest of times, and that’s an era you’ll never know.
And Saraya, I respect you. I respect that you fought addiction and won. I respect that you came back from a horrible neck injury. And I respect that you paved the ground for me to be standing right here, right now in this business. But this business owes you nothing. Nothing! It has moved on. And what you’re not gonna do is stand there and belittle me, belittle my accomplishments, belittle my blood, sweat and tears because you’re stuck in the past. I am the heart, I am the soul, I am the pulse of AEW. And if you think you’re above that, you can get the hell out. This is MY house.” The Doctor is ready to fight tooth and nail with the returning Saraya Knight, but who will truly be The Revolution?
AEW World Trios Championships: Death Triangle w/ Alex Abrahantes VS AR Fox & Top Flight!
The Bastard wants the Lucha Brothers to be more like him, especially if that’s what it takes to retain these titles. Rey Fenix & Penta El Zero Miedo didn’t seem so sure, but will they see what he means tonight? Or will this be a title match of shock & awe from three incredible high-flyers?

It would seem The Bastard learned from the Lucha Brothers that they didn’t need to cheat to win! They just outgunned the human fighter jets! Pac gets the mic to say, “OI! Ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you a question. Do you think that Death Triangle are stupid? Huh?! Do you think that we’re not aware of what’s going on? Do you think we haven’t seen the videos, heard the rumors? Well what we’ll say is this. If there are certain individuals in this company who think they can make their triumphant return this Saturday at Full Gear… And if they think they can just mosey in and best the Death Triangle… Well that’s ridiculous.
“And you know who you are. So I will say this, and I will make it very, very simple for you. Gentlemen, we are…” “TRIANGULO DE LA MUERTE~!” “And if you want some this Saturday, then please bring the heat. Cuz I promise ya, Death Triangle runs from nobody! You understand?” Penta says you know what they have: CERO! MIEDO!! But wait! Another video plays on the tron! The ticking clock, Full Gear, the AEW World Trios Championships will be defended! Death Triangle VS… THE ELITE!! Fans are going nuts just to see it as a graphic!
Pac says, “Finally! Finally, some transparency! This Saturday, AEW Full Gear, Death Triangle VS The Elite. Gentlemen, you may think you’re coming for us. But we’ve been waiting for you.” Will Death Triangle be the death of The Elite? Or will Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks make up for the reign that never was?
Ricky Starks speaks.
“Lance Archer. You got one up on ol’ Absolute. I was not medically cleared to compete because of an attack by you, and that was cool. You love to attack people. Hey, so do I. That’s why this week on Rampage, it’s gonna be you and me. And I’m saying this: let’s start backstage! Let’s start with me wrapping my hands around your braids and dog-walking you around the arena. And then, breaking them off and making you choke on them! Why? Because I don’t talk in ifs, ands or maybes. I talk in absolutes. And the absolute truth is this: on Rampage this week, I am going to beat you!” The Absolute wants to fight, but will he learn that against the Murderhawk Monster, #EverybodyDies?
AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament Semifinals: Ethan Page w/ Stokely Hathaway VS Bandido!
All Ego got past The Mad King while the Most Wanted got past El Toro Blanco. Now they meet, with just one win left before moving on to Full Gear. Will The Firm soon have a ticket to New Jersey and that golden ticket? Or will Bandido humble All Ego this close to the PPV paycheck?
Before the match, Ethan has a mic to say, “Is that it? That’s all the reaction All Ego Ethan Page gets? Well listen to Ethan Page, you simple, basic ass civilians! Tonight, I’m walking through Bandido, and then, Saturday at Full Gear, I’m becoming #1 contender!” It doesn’t matter if it’s Mox or Max, because at Winter is Coming, you’re looking at the NEXT world champion! Ethan gets in the ring and Bandido makes his entrance. The bell rings and Bandido circles with Ethan. They tie up, Ethan headlocks, but Bandido powers through to wrench and wristlock. Ethan wrenches and hammerlocks to then headlock again.
Bandido slips out the back to hammerlock, but Ethan throws elbows. Ethan headlocks again, but Bandido wrenches out and wrenches around to wristlock. Ethan wrenches and wristlocks in return, but Bandido handsprings and breaks free to aim a finger gun. Fans fire up but Ethan kicks low. Ethan headlocks, Bandido powers out and then hurdles over. Bandido drops down, Ethan stops himself but Bandido runs in. Ethan sidesteps, Bandido rolls off Ethan’s back, and then Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges to handspring! Ethan moves, but Bandido tilt-o-whirl headscissors him away! Fans fire up and Bandido runs in to UPPERCUT in the corner!
Bandido reels Ethan in, finger gun BANG and suplex, but Ethan blocks! Ethan suplexes but Bandido knees free! Bandido suplexes Ethan up and over! Cover, ONE! Bandido keeps on Ethan with an armlock but Ethan whips free. Ethan grabs at the ref to distract from Stokely swiping at Bandido! Bandido is distracted and Ethan CLOBBERS him from behind! Ethan rains down fists while the ref reprimands and AEW goes picture in picture!
Ethan soaks up the heat as he roars, and Stokely just nods and shrugs. Ethan looms over Bandido, drags him up, and scoops him to SLAM him! Then Ethan drops a BIG elbow! Cover, TWO! Ethan wraps on a rear bearhug to keep Bandido down, but Bandido endures. Bandido reaches out, crawls forward, and he gets the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Ethan lets go at 4, but Ethan drags Bandido back up. Bandido fires forearms and a SUPERKICK! Bandido runs, but Ethan runs Bandido over! Ethan glares as he paces, and then he shouts at fans. Ethan soaks up the heat from Bridgeport, then he goes back to Bandido.
Ethan drags Bandido up, reels him in, and he hits a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Ethan drags Bandido around, but Bandido powers Ethan to a corner! Bandido RAMS his shoulder in again and again, then finger gun BANG and- NO, Ethan dodges the splash! Ethan drags Bandido up to whip corner to corner hard! Bandido bounces off buckle and Stokely likes what he sees. Ethan tells the fans to kiss his ass! Ethan drags Bandido up, reels him in, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Fans rally for Bandido and he slips free of the crucifix lift! Bandido goes to a corner, Ethan runs in, but Bandido drops down to let Ethan hit buckles!
Bandido drop toeholds Ethan back into buckles, KICKS him, then sweeps the legs! Bandido runs to basement dropkick Ethan out of the ring! Bandido goes to the apron, he jumps over Ethan’s sweep, and he SUPERKICKS Ethan away! Bandido then climbs up the corner, stands on the post, and he ARIHARA MOONSAULTS!! Direct hit and down goes Ethan! Fans lose their minds and Stokely is stunned! Bandido puts Ethan in the ring, he climbs up the corner again, and Ethan stands for a SKY TWISTER! Cover, TWO!! Ethan survives and Stokely hurries to coach him up. Ethan stands, Bandido runs in! 21- NO, Ethan elbows free!
Ethan steps into the ropes to use them for a JUMPING CUTTER! Cover, TWO!! Bandido survives and fans fire up! Ethan drags Bandido up while Stokely seethes on the outside. Ethan puts Bandido up top backwards, then he climbs up top. Ethan brings Bandido up into the crucifix, SUPER- STEINER!! Bandido turns Ego’s Edge into a steiner, and then he trophy lifts Ethan! For the SLAM! Bandido goes up top fast, and he FROG SPLASHES!! Cover, TWO!?! Ethan survives Bandido’s tribute to Latino Heat! Stokely is still panicked as he shouts for Ethan to get up. Bandido hurries up top again, but Ethan trips him up!
Bandido takes a tumble to the mat and he clutches his leg. Ethan goes up top, but Bandido SWATS Ethan! Bandido climbs up now, he stands Ethan up, but the bad leg stops him. Ethan scoops Bandido for a SUPER SLAM! Bandido stands, into a FLYING SHOULDER TACKLE! Ethan then hauls Bandido up, for the EGO’S EDGE! Cover, Ethan wins!
Winner: Ethan Page, by pinfall (advances to Full Gear)
Ethan said it himself, “Two down, one to go!” But with Ricky Starks still having to face Lance Archer, and then the winner of that almost immediately having to face Brian Cage, who is it that meets All Ego in the finals?
AEW looks closer at Jungle Boy VS Luchasaurus II, in a Steel Cage!
Renee Paquette says this match practically has to be settled inside the cage, “because there’s just been so many different outside factors with these two men, I think they just need to keep things contained, no outside sources, no bullsh*t. It just needs to be these two men settling the differences between them, and having a definitive winner.” Jungle Boy Jack Perry says that when he and Luchasaurus step into that ring together, after 15 YEARS of friendship, “one of us is a beast, and the other one is a man. It’s time to find out who’s who.” Will the Jurassic Express Civil War all come to a close at Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Saraya.
Renee again interviews Saraya as we are days away from Full Gear and the in-ring return of Saraya, her first match in five years, and her first match since she was medically cleared earlier this month. How is she feeling? Saraya feels fantastic. She feels lucky to have this opportunity to get back in the ring again. She never thought it’d happen. She was told it’d never happen, so she’s very fortunate. But she’s sick of the back and forth between her and Britt. Britt comes out to talk about opportunities, but Saraya tells Britt that Saraya also got an opportunity to be here. She wants to be here, she chose to be here because she wanted to beat the best, and that is Britt.
Saraya is sick of the talking, she doesn’t want to keep talking, she’ll see Britt this Saturday at Full Gear! The Revolution heads out, will she take over to make AEW her house?
AEW looks at Rampage’s big time tag match!
Ortiz says that for the first time in some time, he’s actually nervous. He’s going to be in there with a living legend in Jun Akiyama, and the up-and-coming star, Konosuke Takeshita. Konosuke says he’s back in AEW, and he’s with the Japanese legend, “Sternness” Jun Akiyama. Eddie Kingston says it was May 1st, 1998, Hiroshi Hase VS Jun Akiyama in the Tokyo Dome. Eddie saw that match and said to himself, “I want to fight Jun Akiyama.” Konosuke says he and Akiyama will show the world DDT Pro-Wrestling’s style.
Eddie says he’s waited for this his entire life, and no disrespect to Akiyama-san, but he’s coming at him with the greatest fight he’s ever fought with! So this Friday, Akiyama better bring it, too.
AEW Women’s World Title Eliminator: Toni Storm VS Anna Jay “A S”!
Originally meant to be La Faccion Ingobernable’s Bunny, a change had to be made when Bunny got sick and wasn’t cleared to compete. So now the Jericho Appreciation Society’s Star of the Show gets to have her chance! With a title match looming at Full Gear, will the Queenslayer strike down the Lightning From Down Under? Or will Anna not be able to weather the Storm?
The bell rings and Storm circles with Jay. They approach, but then Jay slips past Storm and celebrates a bit. Fans boo but Jay says she’s serious this time. They approach, but again Jay slips past Storm to smile and celebrate. “I got her!” Storm is annoyed, she and Jay approach and Jay gets around Storm again, only for Storm to reel her in for a headlock! Storm thrashes Jay around, hits a takeover, but Jay keeps her shoulders up. Jay kicks around, powers up and out, but Storm runs Jay over! Things speed up, Storm KICKS Jay, then runs to BOOT Jay down! Jay flounders to a corner as fans fire up.
Storm runs in to hop up and MONKEY FLIP! Jay flounders away again and fans fire up as Storm runs corner to corner, Jay moves, Storm goes up the corner, but Jay kicks the legs out! Jay hits a DRAPING BACKSTABBER! Storm flounders, Jay runs side to side, roll and KICK! Jay soaks up the heat while Storm sputters, and AEW goes picture in picture.
Jay stomps Storm around the ropes, drags her up and puts her through ropes to CHOKE her! The ref counts, Jay lets off at 4, and Jay mocks fans with fake tears.

Jay argues the count but the ref defends it was fair. Jay CHOKES Storm, the ref counts, and Jay lets off at 4. Jay smiles and drags Storm up. Jay CLUBS Storm down then clamps on a chinlock. Storm endures as Jay leans on the hold and mocks the fans. Storm fights up, but Jay wrangles her back down! Jay leans on the hold but Storm still endures. Storm fights up, throws elbows, and fights free to throw a forearm! Jay throws it back, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Storm throws another forearm, Jay throws another one back. The forearms go back and forth, and Storm gets the edge!
Jay clinches, knees low and whips, but Storm reverses. Jay ducks but Storm hit a THESZ PRESS! And fast hands! Storm fires up and so do the fans! Storm drags Jay up, CLUBS her again and again and again! Storm runs, LARIATS, and then drags Jay right back up to FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! It wasn’t quite perfect and Storm is frustrated. Storm drags Jay by her legs, ties those up, but Jay kicks and gets the ROPEBREAK! Storm lets off to run side to side, SWEET CHEEKS MUSIC! Jay hits the floor and fans fire up! Storm goes out after Jay, but Jay YANKS Storm into steel steps!
Jay drags Storm up and Gory Especials for a GORY BOMB! Shoutout to her bestie, Tay Melo! Or maybe an old friend of Storm’s? Jay puts Storm in the ring, drags her up and wrenches, DANGEROUS HOOK KICK! Then another GORY BOMB!! Cover, TWO!?! Storm survives and Jay is furious! Anna shouts that she’s gonna choke Storm out! She wraps on one arm, but Storm arm-drags free!

Winner: Toni Storm, by submission (denies Anna Jay a title opportunity)
Wait! Here comes Jamie Hayter! Storm’s former friend and next challenger is here, but she says she’s not here to fight? Hayter just wants to have a great match for the title with Storm. Storm holds the title up and then bumps Hayter. Hayter pushes back, but will she be able to knock Storm down? Or will Storm avenge another friend’s betrayal by proving she IS championship material?
BREAKING NEWS for “Full Gear Friday!”
Last week on Rampage, Lee Moriarty called out any and all champions under the AEW umbrella, and it was the Cold-Hearted, Handsome Devil who stepped up! Hook VS Moriarty for the FTW Championship happens live on Rampage! Plus, Athena VS Madison Rayne, and then the World Title Eliminator Quarterfinal, Starks VS Archer finally happens! Who wins to then face The Machine?
And BREAKING NEWS for Full Gear itself!
After the massive brawl between three massive men, it’ll be a massive Triple Threat for the AEW TNT Championship! Wardlow defends against BOTH Samoa Joe AND “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs! Will Wardlow’s World be changed forever after Saturday?
Jon Moxley heads to the ring!
William Regal accompanies the AEW World Champion as he makes his entrance through the crowd once again. Moxley gets a mic to say, “Thank you, Justin Roberts. I am Jon Moxley, and I am the AEW World Champion. And they say the championship doesn’t make the man, the man makes the championship. So who exactly is Jon Moxley? I’ll tell ya. I am the best professional wrestler on parent Earth. I am the baddest son of a bitch in this game. I talk sh*t and I back it up. I have traveled the world far and wide, seeking the toughest challenges. I have taken on all comers, and I have defined the AEW World Championship.
“And the announcers say like, ‘Oh, Jon Moxley, he loves to fight,’ like it’s a good thing. Like it’s something to be admired. It’s not. I’m sick in the head, man. I am literally sick in the head. I am addicted to the rush of adrenaline and pain and hurting myself and my opponent, being in wars, being in fights! I love it, man!” Fans cheer that! Moxley says no one can hurt him, because he literally doesn’t care. “That is exactly who Jon Moxley is. Now last week, I asked the question, ‘Who is MJF?’ And I am the world champion, so I scout my opponents, so I did a little research over the last few days to find out.
“And I found out a few things. I found out that MJF is actually a really good singer. Very good singer. I found out he has exactly one win in this ring in the last six months. He beat my Young Boy, actually. He took a summer vacation after some embarrassing bad Brian Pillman stuff. Took a summer vacation, came back with a Halloween mask on, and somebody handed him a poker chip in the worst ending to a ladder match I have ever seen. And now, he’s cashing in, he’s got a shot at the world heavyweight championship. That’s what we came to. So forgive me if I’m not exactly shaking in my boots.
“You people see the MJF he wants you to see, this perfectly curated version. Prepared speeches, handpicked opponents. I see a man dripping with insecurity, a kid playing wrestler. I see a man filled with fear that maybe he won’t live up to the hype. But you’re gonna see something very, very special this [Saturday] at Full Gear. You’re going to see the world champion do what he does best. MJF is not challenging me, I’m challenging MJF! I’m challenging you (MJF) to show me something! Show me you got some guts! Show me you got some balls! Show me something, MJF! Show me why everybody thinks you’re gonna be the future of this industry.”
Stokely Hathaway walks out? Stokely says Mox looks good, and then Lee Moriarty jumps in the ring! Moxley’s ready and he tosses Moriarty right back out! But the rest of The Firm attacks now! W. Morrissey CLOBBERS Moxley, then Ethan Page goes after Regal! The Gunns run in, Moriarty returns, and Morrissey and Moriarty stomp Moxley while the Gunns help Ethan hold Regal back! Fans boo, Ethan helps stomp Moxley now, and then Moriarty PENALTY KICKS Moxley! But here comes MJF! Maxwell Jacob Friedman storms out to the ring and dares The Firm to come after him now! MJF DECKS Austin, DECKS Colten, and then continues down the ramp!
MJF CLOBBERS Moriarty, slides in, but Morrissey choke grips! So MJF LOW BLOWS him! No matter how big you are, that still hurts! Ethan runs in but MJF dodges, the BOOT gets Morrissey! And then MJF pokes Ethan in the eyes and LOW BLOWS him, too! And then DECKS him with a haymaker! The Firm goes running and fans fire up with MJF! Regal guards Moxley but MJF tells The Firm that they should leave Connecticut before he “firmly take my boot and shove it up your ass!!” MJF then look to Moxley and says, “You, Jon, while you’re laying there, hopefully in a ton of pain, let me explain something.
“I did not save your ass cuz I like you, Jon, no. No, I saved you because I don’t want any of your piss-ant mark fan club making any excuses for ya when I know your lights clean out! No Dynamite Diamond Ring necessary! Ain’t that right, Will?” MJF and Regal glare at each other, and then MJF paces. “When I got in this business, my ultimate goal was to become the best wrestler in the world. And I’m not an idiot, Jon. I know this Saturday in the Prudential Center, I’m in for the fight of my life. You’re one double tough bad son of a bitch. But know this: I ain’t the same kid I was the first time we fought for that piece of gold.
“Y’see, this time, you can dump me on my head as many times as you want. You can make me bleed buckets. You can snap, crackle ‘n’ pop ever single ligament, joint and bone in my body, but I will not stop! Because IÂ need that belt more than I need water, more than I need food, and more than I need oxygen! Because when you’re the man that holds the AEW World title, that makes you the best wrestler on God’s Green Earth, and GADAMMIT, it’s MY time!” Fans cheer that! “Now I heard you, Jon, I heard you last week when you said I’m not the Devil. That’s classic. Jon, maybe you haven’t been listening very well, so allow me to tell you.
“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn’t exist. And this Saturday at Full Gear, you are going to find out that I AM the Devil himself! Because my name is Maxwell! Jacob! Friedman! And I’m better than you-” Moxley snatches the mic! Moxley says, “Y’know, I never really saw what the big deal was with you anyway. But this weekend at Full Gear, we’re gonna find out if you’ve got it in here. If you can’t find it in yourself, I will reach in and pull it outta you, because that’s my job. This Sunday… Is the show on Sunday or Saturday? Saturday? Okay. Full Gear, the training wheels come off.”
Moxley tosses the mic back to MJF, but MJF drops it. Regal is there to stare at both men as MJF points to the belt. MJF says it will be his, no matter what anyone wants. Moxley pushes past MJF to take his leave, but will the Maniac prove to MJF that he’s not better than him, and he knows it?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home Dynamite for AEW, but still with some big questions. Starks had a really good promo calling out Lance Archer, and Ethan VS Bandido was a great semifinal match, but uh… How is this going to work? Starks pulling double duty on Friday? Because I definitely see Starks going over Archer, and he’s meant to face Brian Cage, but will that be a “surprise” match on Rampage? Or part of Zero Hour on Saturday? Because they can’t just cut Cage out of the tournament, that’d be BS. Either way, Starks VS Ethan feels like the given World Title Eliminator Finals for Full Gear, so somehow Starks is going to make it through two monsters on the way to the PPV.
We got a great tag team opener with BCC VS JAS, and I like that Claudio swung Jericho while Jericho held the baseball bat. BCC wins is a sign that Jericho retains the ROH title, but who knows if it’s because Sammy gives Jericho the win, or because Sammy does all the work and Jericho takes advantage. Caster had a great rap live, and then had another hit in the newest music video. But then Swerve winning in the match, I’m pretty sure that means The Acclaimed win the title match and we start seeing Keith VS Swerve. Then, depending on how FTR VS Austin & Colten go at ROH Final Battle, it’s obvious we’ll get Acclaimed VS FTR going towards AEW Revolution in 2023.
Great promos to hype up the Full Gear matches, too. Britt had a great response to Saraya tearing her down last week, and then Saraya had a good response to that. It’s not like Britt can’t be a Face after that promo, but Britt of course prefers being Heel and does a damn good job of it, so win or lose, Britt’s staying Heel after Full Gear. Storm VS Jay was a great title eliminator and main event match, but I figured Storm was going to win. Hayter showing up to not fight Storm was a nice twist, and who knows how their match goes. But given Storm wanted to face Thunder Rosa in the first place, I bet Storm holds on until Rosa returns so they can finally have it out.
All the video promos were good, too, from Jade and Nyla to Jungle Boy to Darby’s newest vignette and the response from Lethal and Jarrett. We also got a great promo from Eddie, Ortiz and Konosuke to hype up their match for Rampage. That is going to be awesome stuff, especially for the fact that a legend like Jun Akiyama is making an AEW debut. The FTW Championship for Rampage is going to be great, too, and then we got a great segment from Samoa Joe, Will Hobbs & Wardlow. I knew the Triple Threat was coming, but only Joe has the potential to become a double champion, so maybe that’s not happening. But this could be a great chance for Hobbs to get the title without Wardlow looking that weak. Then Hobbs and Wardlow feud towards Revolution.
We got an awesome Trios Championship match, Darius looked great in his TV return, but I figured Death Triangle would win. And it was great that Pac was self-aware and knew The Elite was going to return. He called them out, they basically responded with that graphic, and that Trios title match could be a show stealer. And then we got both a great hype vignette and a couple of promos from MJF and Moxley. The Firm attacking and then getting run off by MJF, this is keeping alive the idea that MJF is just pulling a bigger con than ever before, but I still really hope that’s just to swerve us back and MJF actually does do this on his own. Moxley underestimating MJF could also be his downfall, I can’t wait to see how this turns out.
My Score: 8.8/10

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

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

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

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

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

Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in.

Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS!

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

Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall

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

Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!
Dante bobs ‘n’ weaves, shoves Ricochet, but Ricochet avoids the dropkick! Jackknife bridge, TWO as Dante bridges up! Dante spins Ricochet, but Ricochet turns that to a backslide! TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards! Dante ducks under, runs at Ricochet, but Ricochet goes up and over! Dante puts Ricochet on the apron but Ricochet ENZIGIRIS! Ricochet springboards again, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again. Dante springboards up and around for a CARTWHEEL CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives, he runs at Dante, but Dante goes up and over!
Ricochet tumbles out as Dante then builds speed, and Dante DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp but Dante hurries to put Ricochet in. Springboard and MAMBA SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives and the fans rally up again. Dante waits on Ricochet to rise up, then he half nelsons. Lift and- NO, Ricochet slips free to dragon sleeper! VERTI- NO, Dante slips free! Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
