Lethal puts that leg on the ropes to STOMP the knee! And then APRON GERMAN SUPLEX! Darby flops to the floor and Lethal grins as AEW goes picture in picture.

But then someone cosplaying Sting attacks Darby with a baseball bat!! That can’t be the real Sting, right? Lethal hits a LETHAL INJECTION on Darby!! Cover, Lethal wins!
Winner: Jay Lethal, by pinfall
It took all the tricks in the book and a totally fake Sting, but Lethal ties up the series with Darby! Lethal and his friends hug Cole Karter! The Factory’s Cole Karter helped Lethal take out Darby, and now he helps them stomp Darby! But wait! Here’s the REAL STING!! The music is playing, the lights are blue, Lethal, Karter, Sonjay & Satnam hurry to the ramp, but someone gets in the ring behind Darby! That’s not Sting, or even a fake Sting, it’s JEFF JARRETT! And he gives Darby a SMASH HIT!! Double J gets the mic to tell Darby, “You just got a lesson from the Last Outlaw. You ask what that lesson is. Darby, whatever you worship, it becomes your weakness.
“Yeah, look at that pool of blood.” Oh, wow, there is quite a bit of blood from the back of Darby’s head. But Jarrett says that since Darby idolizes Sting, Sting has become Darby’s weakness. “And now that I’ve got Darby Allin outta the way, I’ve got a message not only for the entire AEW roster, not only for you, Schiavone, and the other clowns that you have up there with you,” and maybe the cameraman, too! For every bozo in production, this goes for you, too! But most importantly, this goes “to the insane, the rabid, the delusional AEW fanbase.” Jarrett’s family got into this business back in 1946. That means for over 75 YEARS, three generations, wherever the Jarretts went, they left an impact.
Jarrett is a two-time Hall of Famer, a 12 time world champion, and he assures you from day one- Fans chant “You Still Suck!” Jarrett says from day one, his fingerprints, his father’s fingerprints, his grandmother’s fingerprints, Mrs. Christine Jarrett, have been all over AEW! But Jarrett assures us, before he’s done with this place, there will be full body bags! “Choke on that, slap nuts!” The Last Outlaw fires the first shot against Darby, Sting, and all of AEW, but will he, Lethal and the rest run roughshod?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“AEW Dynamite live, I love that energy, that electricity here in Baltimore, Maryland. I can’t get enough of it. It’s a drug I love. And this is just another night for me, but for young Mr. Lee Moriarty, this is the biggest night of his life. A World Title Eliminator, he has the chance to change his fortunes forever, if he can get the job done tonight. All he has to do tonight is rely on his talents, his athleticism, his skills, of which there are many.
“Maybe Lee Moriarty feels a little snubbed by the Blackpool Combat Club. But hey, that’s not true, we didn’t snub you. I actually really like you a lot. But me and Danielson just decided you’re just not mean enough. You’re just not quite nasty enough. You’re just not quite… violent enough for the BCC, just yet. But we’re not going to leave you out in the cold. After all, we’re teachers. Tonight, I’m going to give you a lesson in pain and perseverance when I back you into a corner like a wild animal and make you fight your way out.
“You’re gonna have to dig down deep, into your guts, in that place where bad intentions that we don’t like to talk about lie. And there’s only one way out, Lee. And that’s through me. So if you’ve got any, uh, unrequited anger or angst or revenge boiling somewhere deep down in your body, maybe you got picked on when you were in high school, something like that, now would be the time to bring it to the surface. I want you to be mean, I want you to be nasty, I want you to be violent. I ain’t got time for anything else!” The AEW World Champion is daring #TAIGASTYLE to bare his fangs, will this come back to bite him?
Someone is editing AEW history.
Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks win the AEW World Trios Championships at All Out, only for someone to stop it there, and replace it with Death Triangle’s win the next Dynamite. And then, The Elite is replaced on the posters with Death Triangle. How can All Elite Wrestling be that without The Elite?
AEW World Title Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Lee Moriarty w/ Stokely Hathaway!
The Maniac knows he has Maxwell Jacob Friedman at Full Gear, but he has some business to take care of with The Firm after they jumped him. Will Moxley put all that to bed here and have a clear path to New Jersey? Or can Moriarty take advantage of a sore and distracted champion?
Ethan Page joins commentary to watch Lee “smack around the champion.” The bell rings, Moriarty has his dukes up as he circles with Moxley. Baltimore rallies for Mox as he approaches and ties up with Moriarty. Moriarty shoots in, Moriarty gets Moxley with a cravat, but Moxley shoots around to trip Moriarty up. Moxley flips Moriarty, floats to a facelock, but Moriarty slips that onto Moxley. Moxley slips free and fans applaud the exchange. Moxley and Moriarty tie up again, Moxley KICKS a leg, but Moriarty KICKS back! They go back and forth, KICK for KICK, then Moxley DECKS Moriarty with a forearm!
Moxley puts Moriarty in a corner, climbs up and rains down fists! Fans count all the way to TEN, then Moxley BITES Moriarty! The ref reprimands, Stokely protests, but Moxley lets off.

Stokely smiles while Moxley writhes and gets to the apron. Moriarty hurries to run and baseball slide Moxley out of the ring!

But Moxley CHOPS! Moriarty hits the bad arm, uppercuts, then whips Moxley into the steel steps! Moxley writhes, clutching that arm, but Stokely pats Moriarty on the back. Moxley gets in the ring, Moriarty follows and UPPERCUTS in the corner. Moriarty digs his boot in, the ref counts and Moriarty lets off.

Renee Paquette has a sit-down interview with Saraya and Britt Baker.
Well, she was supposed to, but only Saraya is here. Britt felt she didn’t need to be here, apparently, but that’s fine, Renee and Saraya can still talk. Saraya says she’s used to this now. She knows what it takes to be a star. With Britt, she doesn’t care about anyone but herself. She doesn’t care about the division, about the locker room, or anyone apart from herself. When Saraya grew up in this industry, the 30 years of her life, 17 of those were wrestling. Saraya once had to wrestle the same day she got hit by a car! Saraya had to build divisions everywhere she went, so Britt should feel lucky to have even had this interview.
Renee says they’re both here, this is an official welcome back to wrestling for Saraya. But why now? And why AEW? “There is something special about AEW. When it started three years ago, it was kind of that rebel company, and you see all these amazing faces go over there,” and Saraya just felt it’d be so great to be part of that. Once the timing came around, it was just perfect, and the division needed some help to build itself up even more. It’s already fantastic, but Saraya felt she could give it just that little bit more. Then that leads to Renee’s second question, “the elephant in the room,” where is Saraya medically?
We all know five years ago, Saraya got injured in the ring, that led to some spinal stenosis and lack of spinal fluid in the spinal cord. It seemed like she hung up the boots, but now she’s back, so where does she stand? Saraya says she wasn’t going to do this today, but there’s one more doctor she needs to consult. Saraya says we’ll know in a week’s time, what will be the state of Saraya’s in-ring career?
Tony Schiavone interviews William Regal backstage.
Schiavone says November 19th, Full Gear’s main event is Moxley VS MJF for the AEW World Championship. Regal says after what he witnessed last week, it showed to him, “Dear Max, that you have all the potential in the world, but you still have a long way to go to being a true villain. At Full Gear, all the potential in the world isn’t going to help you become the AEW World Champion when you have to face a real demon in Jon Moxley.” Will Lord Regal’s assertion be true? Or will MJF unlock something that will allow him to finally make it over to the other side?
The Acclaimed heads to the ring!
Platinum Max has the mic to say, “Yo, listen! Acclaimed on the mic and we ill with the word play. Make some noise, cuz it’s Billy Gunn’s birthday! And I hope you don’t feel vexed. We didn’t get a cake cuz it wasn’t in your meal prep. Swerve’s acting like he’s on drugs. I’m a make his ass pay like I’m Elon Musk! We’ll beat his ass silly, and let’s have everybody say Happy Birthday to Billy.” Fans cheer and Anthony Bowens says, “BALTIMOOOOOORE~! The Acclaimed have arrived!” The Acclaimed scissor finger, but that’s because Billy’s fingers are messed up from what Swerve did to him on Friday. Fans sing, “Oh~ Scissor Me, Daddy~!” to make up for it.
Bowens says they are so glad the fans are enthusiastic, because this was a very tough weekend. Last Rampage, “Sneaky Swerve did some damage to Daddy Ass’s fingers, and now he can’t scissor.” Scissoring is taking over the world! The World Series! Arenas all around the world! Right, cameraman? YEAH~! But of course, they can’t have a Daddy Ass birthday bash without scissoring, so they’re starting off hot with gift number one! The brand new Acclaimed foam SCISSOR FINGERS~! They put those on Billy, “so that when a sneaky snake like Swerve breaks your hands, you can still…” “SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS!” There it is!
Caster sees the great signs, the scissor shirts, and big scissors, all to celebrate Daddy Ass. And it’s true, AEW now stands for Acclaimed Every Wednesday. And it’s a fact of life that EVERYONE loves The Acclaimed! And furthermore, everyone loves Daddy Ass. So who brought gifts for Daddy? Throw up some signs! Throw up some scissors! Who wants to give Billy a gift? There’s all sorts of messages, like “Happy Birthday, Daddy Ass!” “Scissor Me Timbers!” Wait, a Sneaky Swerve Dartboard? Not bad. But Caster chooses the scissors with the party hat! They bring that in for Daddy! Happy birthday from everyone here in Baltimore!
Oh, but they’re not done yet! No, far from it. Billy’s been in the business for over 30 years and has accomplished a lot. An ELEVEN-TIME Tag Team Champion. That’s right! A two-time tag team of the year winner. That’s right! And in 2006, he was part of the worst segment of all time anywhere. That’s right… Reverse battle royal or something? That was a thing. But more importantly, Billy’s a Hall of Famer, a stand-up guy, and is now… the WORLD’S GREATEST DADDY!! They modified a trophy just for Billy and fans cheer as he accepts the award. Fans chant “DADDY ASS!” and Bowens says there’s one last thing.
Bowens says he planned so much more, like special guests from Billy’s past, but unfortunately, two cancelled last minute, and the rest were just upset Billy didn’t go to the reunion. Billy does a “SUCK IT!” for old time’s sake! But most importantly, the last couple of months, he’s been a mentor and father figure to The Acclaimed and he has meant the world to them. This final gift touches the soul. They filed paperwork, and they have a certificate of adoption! The Sultan of Scissors, Anthony Bowens, has signed it! Platinum Max Caster has signed it! The Acclaimed just need a signature from Billy!
Fans chant “Sign It! Sign It!” Billy says, “I get to be your daddy?” But wait! Billy’s biological sons, the “Ass~ Boys!” are here! Austin & Colten Gunn want this to stop. Did their invitation get lost in the mail? They didn’t get invited to their father’s birthday party? Billy says The Acclaimed are his sons! Well, even though they weren’t invited, being that they’re his lovable sons, they still got him a gift. Billy turns around into a BOOT from W. Morrissey! And then Morrissey CLOBBERS The Acclaimed! The Gunn Sons beat up on the tag champs while Morrissey stomps Billy! Fans boo but here comes FTR!
Fans fire up as Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood storm down to the ring! The Firm bails, but the ROH-AAA-IWGP Tag Team Champions stand tall with the AEW World Tag Team Champions. But FTR also pick up the AEW World Tag Team titles. FTR hand the belts over to the champions, this match surely to come down the line. But with Gunn Club in the way first, will Dax & Cash make sure Austin & Colten #FearTheRepercussions of their actions?
Tony Schiavone interviews Britt Baker backstage.
And she interrupts him, too, as he welcomes us to her interview with her people on her time and in her world. “What? You thought I was going to jump just because you said to, Saraya and Renee? Well, I have been a victim of conspiracy for far too long, so I’m not showing up to your party.” Jamie Hayter is also here, and she says she is sick of it all. She’s sick of the BS! She just wants to wrestle! Britt does, too! They should wrestle together as the best female tag team on the planet. Find them a team to face on Friday. Yours Truly, Britt Baker, DMD.
ROH World Championship Open Challenge: Chris Jericho w/ Daniel Garcia & Jake Hager VS ???
The Wizard, Le Champion, continues his mission to desecrate, destroy and degrade the legacy of ROH, and he doesn’t care who it is, he just wants to face any former champion of ROH! Singles, tag, trios, Women’s Division, it doesn’t matter to him! But then, who will accept that challenge in hopes of shutting Jericho up? Jericho gets the mic to say, “So last week, after Claudio, that jackass, took a tainted victory over The Ocho, it made me mad! And now, like I said, I am ready for an open challenge tonight, against any former ROH champion. World champion, tag team champion, Pure Champion, Women’s Champion, I DON’T CARE! I’ll even whip Lamar Jackson’s ass!”
Fans get riled up hearing that but Lamar just stays put. Jericho says tonight will be another monumental night in the Ring of Jericho Era! ALL HONOR THE OCHO! But who is it? Show yourself! Jericho wants to know! “BOOM BOOM! Colt Cabana!” Fans go nuts! Cabana is back and ready to go, will he go from former tag team champion to NEW ROH World Champion? The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Jericho wins this with honor or sports entertainment!
The bell rings and fans are thunderous with “WELCOME BACK!” Cabana and Jericho step up to each other, and Jericho offers the Code of Honor. Cabana takes it, and they go forehead to forehead. Cabana pushes Jericho into the corner, but he lets off. Jericho shoves, Cabana shoves, and then Cabana fires off! The ref counts and Cabana backs off. Jericho storms up, Cabana headlocks, Jericho powers out but Cabana runs Jericho over! Fans cheer, Jericho gets up and ties up with Cabana. Cabana headlocks, Jericho powers out but Cabana runs him over! Cabana then fakes Jericho out to KICK him! Cabana rains down fists and fans are thunderous!
Cabana lets off, he kicks Jericho to the corner and whips corner to corner. Jericho reverses, but Cabana BOOTS him! Cabana goes up, Jericho gets under, but Cabana sunset flips from below! TWO, and Jericho stands up for Cabana to CHOP, and clothesline against ropes! And again! And then forearms! Cabana whips, Jericho holds ropes and bails out, regrouping with Hager & Garcia. Cabana pursues and CLUBS Jericho! And ROCKS him! And ELBOWS him! Jericho CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Cabana snarls. Jericho CLUBS and ROCKS Cabana, puts him in the ring and climbs up, but Cabana ROCKS him in return!
Cabana throws haymakers, hops up to to get Jericho in the fireman’s carry, but Jericho and Cabana fall to the floor! Garcia & Hager check on Jericho while AEW goes picture in picture.
Jericho and Cabana stir, the ref has Garcia and Hager back off, and Jericho gets in the ring. Cabana sits up, Jericho grabs at him from the apron but Cabana ROCKS Jericho! Cabana gets on the apron, ELBOWS Jericho, then bumps him off buckles! Cabana brings Jericho side to side to bump him off more buckles! And again the other way, but Jericho triangle jumps to DROPKICK! Cabana goes down and Garcia mocks him with applause. Jericho soaks up the heat, Garcia dares Cabana to get up and fight, but the ring count climbs. Jericho mocks the fans, flips them off, and then goes out to fetch Cabana.
Jericho puts Cabana in the ring, storms in after him, and slaps him around! And even more! Jericho slaps Cabana more and more, talks trash, sits Cabana up, but Cabana counter slaps! And again! And again! Cabana CHOPS, runs, but into a throat chop! Jericho drags Cabana up to back suplex! Cocky cover, TWO! Jericho paces, taunts the fans, soaks up the heat again, and goes back to Cabana as he sits up. Jericho throws hands, Cabana eggs him on, and Dynamite returns to single picture as the forearms go back and forth! Fans rally as Cabana gets the edge but boo as Jericho takes it back.

Claudio gets mugged, but then here comes BRYAN DANIELSON! The American Dragon takes out Parker but Garcia is after him! Sammy Guevara rushes out to add more on the JAS side, but then WHEELER YUTA attacks Sammy! BCC and JAS brawl but the JAS has numbers!
Security rushes out, fans want to “Let Them Fight!” but this is not happening here. What will it take to end the war between pro-wrestlers and sports entertainers?
Renee interviews Death Triangle backstage.
She’s with the AEW World Trios Championships, but Rey Fenix has his shot at the All-Atlantic Championship up next. He could become the NEW Double Champion, what is he feeling? Fenix says he’s feeling happy, he’s feeling great, and ready! Tonight, he will be the NEW All-Atlantic Champion! #DoubleDouble! PAC speaks up, and he says as someone who knows something being Double Champion, if Fenix wants revenge, like real revenge, he may not have wanted to use the bell hammer last time, and that was his prerogative. But this time, it’d be legal. Pac is telling him now, “the hammer, Rey. If you’re smart about it my friend, trust me. This tonight, can be your golden ticket.”
But hey, the choice is his. Just something to think about. Pac leaves, and Penta says they should talk about this. Will the Firebird do as The Bastard would? Or will he stay true to himself?

Luchasaurus storms over to Cassidy and drags him up. Luchasaurus puts him in a corner, CHOPS him, then stands him up again. Luchasaurus whips corner to corner hard and Cassidy bounces off buckles. Christian Cage seems confident enough to leave ringside and join commentary as Luchasaurus chokes Cassidy at the ropes. Luchasaurus lets off to drag Cassidy back up and scoop.

Christian is furious as JB SMACKS Luchasaurus again! Christian gets off commentary to shout at JB, but JB chases him off! JB then runs to CROSSBODY Luchasaurus off the stage and THROUGH a table!!! Fans lose their minds for what Jack Perry just did to get even a modicum of revenge! JB high-fives fans, and Cassidy and Fenix have returned to the ring! But here comes Pac! Pac puts Cassidy in the ring, and he offers Fenix the bell hammer! Fenix takes the hammer and gets in the ring! To DROP the hammer! Pac is upset but fans cheer, only for Cassidy to victory roll! TWO! Fenix has the cover, TWO!

Pac demands the bell hammer, and he grabs it off the floor. But wait! Is that… KATSUYORI SHIBATA?!?! NJPW’s Wrestler is here, and he’s with Best Friends!! Rocky Romero, Chuck Taylor & Trent Beretta storm to the ring with Shibata, and Pac backs off! Fans are losing their minds all over again as Shibata gets in the ring with Cassidy. Shibata points at the title! Cassidy holds up the contract, and hands it to Shibata! Shibata writes his name on the challenger’s spot, and we have a match for Rampage!!
Tony Schiavone interviews Swerve Strickland backstage.
He is thrilled to be with both Swerve Strickland and platinum recording artist, Rick Ross! The biggest boss, Rick Ross! But as exciting as that is, Schiavone has to ask Swerve, why did he do that to Billy Gunn? Whoa, wait, hold on. Keep it positive here today. Rick Ross is making this clear that he is here for one reason and one reason only: making sure that Swerve is the biggest name in the industry, and the largest recording artist in the world! They’re here celebrating that! Keith Lee walks in and says what’s good! But he’s here for Swerve? Swerve is okay responding to Rick Ross but he won’t text his tag partner back?
Swerve isn’t sure what Keith is talking about. Rick Ross says keep it positive, they’re here celebrating. Alright, here’s keeping it positive: Their team, Swerve In Our Glory, is the #1 contender to the AEW World Tag Team Championships. However, Swerve attacked Billy Gunn. Keith watched things back! FALSE ACCUSATIONS! No, this is facts! And furthermore, who was behind the camera when Swerve assaulted Billy? Who is sick enough to stand there and watch that? Swerve says that is a lot of questions. Rick Ross says that’s not what we’re focused on! Just focus on being the number one duo in the world.
Swerve agrees, and he says they can do this: an 8 Man Tag. SIOG & Gunn Club VS The Acclaimed & FTR! Toast to that! Rick Ross encourages them all to toast, even Schiavone, and Keith reluctantly joins in. Will they all be #1 in the world after one more go with Caster & Bowens?
AEW TBS Championship: Jade Cargill w/ Leila Grey VS Marina Shafir!
Still undefeated at now 40-0 (check Elevation for that milestone), and still AEW TBS Champion, but still without the belt because Nyla Rose won’t let her have it back! Will The Problem add on by taking away Jade’s rightful claim to the title? Or will #ThatBitch have no problem going 41-0?
The introductions are made, but no belt can be raised, so it’s just about the fight!
But wait, speaking of the belt, here comes Nyla Rose! But Vickie Guerrero makes herself known first with “EXCUSE ME!” Jade does her best to ignore that as she ties up with Shafir. Jade puts Shafir in the corner, Vickie shrieks more, and Nyla tells commentary to take a break, she is gonna do the play by play. Jade is taking it to Marina in the corner with uppercuts, “but hopefully she doesn’t get distracted by THE TBS Champion at the top of the ramp.” Nyla swivels the hips while Jade stomps away on Shafir. Vickie notes how good Nyla looks, both the robe and the belt on her waist. Shafir gets out of the ring but Jade goes out to kick her around.
Vickie notes that, according to Jade, Nyla was supposed to be home tonight eating chips. Nyla admits that’s true, and she starts eating chips on the ramp! Jade drags Shafir up but Shafir fires off body shots, chops and knees! Shafir whips but Jade reverses and Shafir hits railing! Jade storms up on Shafir, brings her up and puts her in the ring. Shafir writhes and now Jade dares Nyla to step to her. Nyla says hold on! Jade being so obsessed with numbers, pay attention to the ref. Jade rushes in at 8 of 10, Nyla tells her to watch some Sesame Street when this is done, and Shafir gets Jade in a waistlock!
Jade fights, Shafir rolls her and wants the leg, but Jade kicks her away! Jade then BOOTS Shafir down! Fans fire up with Jade and she storms around. Jade chicken wings and lifts Shafir, JADED!! Cover, Jade wins!
Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
Still undefeated at 41-0, and Kiera Hogan is sneaking up on Nyla! Kiera grabs for the belt, but Nyla CLOBBERS her! Jade hurries over, but not to help her Baddie, but to berate her for failing. Will #ThatBitch ever get her belt back? Or will Nyla constantly taunt her with it until she gets her own shot?
The House of Black speaks.
“What has become of us? What have you all done?” Julia Hart says last rites for Malakai Black? And for Buddy, and for Brody. “Have you all abandoned your faith this quickly? You have us burning at the stakes so soon, clinging like children to this new world. Afraid to abandon it.” The bodies are taken out to the water. “Now come the ways of old. Now comes the worship of death. All must end so that all can suffer anew.” “Father of the Black Light, giver of the scythe that takes, giver of the scythe that creates. Forget me not. See me now, mother.” Is this not the death but a new life for the House of Black?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!
On top of Cassidy VS Shibata in their All-Atlantic City Dream Match, Britt & Hayter have opponents! Skye Blue & Madison Rayne have stepped up, will the student and coach be enough to shut up the Doctor and her assistant? And the Full Gear World Title Eliminator Tournament will have more names announced! Who will get in on that golden opportunity that leads to New Jersey?
But speaking of Full Gear…
It is now official! For the Interim AEW Women’s World Championship, it will be Toni Storm VS Jamie Hayter! Hayter gets the shot she’s wanted, will she hit the mark? Or will the Lightning From Down Under strike down the Hayter? And speaking of that…
AEW hears from Toni Storm and Jamie Hayter.
Storm says, “A lot of people don’t know this, but me and Jamie Hayter go way back. During the pandemic, me and Jamie actually lived together in England, so we spent a lot of months together. We became best friends. If anything, we became like sisters. When I first got here, when I walked into my first day in AEW… Jamie Hayter wouldn’t even talk to me. She wouldn’t even look at me. It was quite clear.” Hayter says, “My change of attitude? That’s weird, I thought I was being nice. What do you mean, change of attitude? I feel like I’m the same old Jamie Hayter I always have been. Maybe you just didn’t know who I was before.”
Storm knew Hayter was no longer her friend, she was Britt’s. But now these former friends fight for the title! Will all those feelings and frustrations boil to the surface at Full Gear?
ROH World Television Championship: Samoa Joe VS Brian Cage w/ Prince Nana!
The Embassy wants gold, but they made the mistake of how they went after it. The Machine has angered the Samoan Submission Specialist, is he about to be disassembled? Or will not even the rage of Samoa Joe be enough to stop the Swolverine?
The introductions are made by Bobby Cruise, the title is raised, and we see if there is someone who’s better than Brian Cage!
The bell rings and Cage circles with Joe. Fans rally with “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Joe makes sure Cage hears that. Cage and Joe tie up, Joe headlocks, but Cage powers up and out. Joe rams shoulders but Cage shrugs that off. Joe runs again, they RAM shoulders, but Cage shakes his head. Cage dares Joe to try again, fans rally behind Joe, but then Cage reels Joe in to ROCK with a forearm! And again! Cage whips, Joe ducks ‘n’ dodges to run Cage over! Fans fire up while Cage slowly gets up. Cage throws forearms, has Joe in a corner, and he fires off forearms! Cage lets off to ask, “Who betta than Brian Cage?!”
But Cage turns around into a CHOP! Joe JABS, JABS, JABS, again and again then CHOPS Cage to a corner. Joe brings Cage out but Cage fires off forearms! Joe CHOPS again, whips corner to corner, then runs in to back elbow and PELE! Cage wobbles against ropes, Joe brings him around to snapmare and CHOP the back! PENALTY KICK to the front! Running ELBOW DROP! Cover, ONE!! Nana gets on the apron but Joe chases him off. Nana still talks trash, but Joe goes back to Cage. Cage DROPKICKS! Fans boo but Nana says that’s how smart they are. Cage CLUBS and rains down fists on Joe, then stomps away at the ropes.
The ref counts, Cage lets off and puts Joe in a corner. Cage RAMS Joe, and RAMS him, then CHOPS! Joe staggers while he’s stinging, but Cage CHOKES Joe on the ropes. The ref counts, Cage lets off, Nana keeps talking trash, and Cage starts firing off KICK after KICK! Cage SOBATS, then he brings Joe around. Cage wrenches, whips, and LARIATS! Cage flexes but fans boo. Cage drags Joe up, but Joe JABS, JABS, JABS! Cage kicks low, whips, then runs in to UPPERCUT and PELE! Then a GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans cheer the strength while AEW goes picture in picture.
Cage looms over Joe, runs and drops a leg, brother. Cage keeps moving, another leg drop! And another leg drop! Cover, TWO! Cage is annoyed and so is Nana, but Cage drags Joe up to give him crossface forearms! Cage clamps onto Joe with a CAMEL CLUTCH! Joe endures as Cage bends him back! Joe fights up, pries at the hold, and BITES Cage’s hand! The ref reprimands but Joe CHOPS! And CHOPS! And whips, but Cage reverses! Joe BOOTS back, but Cage clotheslines all the same! Cage drags Joe to then drop a knee! Cover, ONE!! Cage is annoyed, Nana is shouting, but Cage clamps on a chinlock to squeeze Joe’s head.
Joe endures, fights up, but Cage wrangles him right back down! Joe endures all over again, gets a second wind and he fights to his feet. Joe throws body shots and then CHOPS! Joe runs but Cage follows to ELBOW him down! Joe flops out of the ring and Cage soaks up the heat. Dynamite returns to single picture a Cage builds speed and FLIES! Cage clears the ropes and hits Joe at the ramp! Fans fire up for that uncanny display of agility! Cage puts Joe in the ring, storms up and flexes, but fans boo now. Cage loves showing off, and he drags Joe up. Joe JABS! JABS! JABS! Cage SOBATS again! Cage runs, into a CHOP!
Joe atomic drops Cage, runs and BOOTS him down! SENTON! Cover, TWO! Cage is still in this and Joe is frustrated. Fans rally up as Joe drags Cage up. Joe whips Cage into the corner, then POWERSLAMS on the return! Cover, TWO! Joe is a bit surprised by that and Nana is upset, too. Joe drags Cage up, reels him in, but Cage wrenches out to JUMP KNEE! And SUPERKICK! Joe ends up on ropes, Cage dials it up, 619!! Cage goes up a corner, for a TWISTING ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO!!! Joe survives and Nana is going nuts!

Joe wins, but here come the Gates of Agony! Liona & Kaun attack Joe and fans boo! Nana tells Joe this is what he gest, but here comes WARDLOW!! The AEW TNT Champion is here to back up his tag partner and run off the Embassy! Wardlow almost gets a hand on Cage, but Cage and the GOA get away. Wait, creeping up from behind, it’s POWERHOUSE HOBBS! A SPINEBUSTER for Wardlow!! Hobbs picks up the TNT belt and holds it over Wardlow! Is this a glimpse into a future chapter in the Book of Hobbs?
My Thoughts:
A great episode here, with quite a bit set up for the following weeks, and even some for Full Gear. Good promo from Storm and Hayter, and Storm sure ends up in a lot of “We used to be friends” feuds. Hayter & Britt are definitely going to win against Skye & Rayne, so that’s momentum for Hayter. And Britt choosing to not join Renee and Saraya in their interview was a very in-character Heel move. This is of course just propelling things closer and closer to Saraya’s return match being against Britt, and that could be a big moment for Full Gear. I can’t say whether Hayter beats Storm or not, but I would think Saraya’s first match back is going to be a win.
Great opening match from Darby and Allin, even with all the overbooking, but I would not have guessed that they’d pull an nWo Sting with Cole Karter, or that Jeff Jarrett would join Lethal here in AEW. Karter being fake Sting fell flat as could be because who even cares about Karter here in AEW? But Jarrett joining in was at least surprising. Jarrett VS Sting is going to be a thing, and that’ll be fun for old time’s sake. And great stuff out of Moxley VS Moriarty. I did like that Moxley’s promo implied the door’s always open to the guys Bryan mentioned, if they just come to their senses and get vicious as hell. Ethan attacking Moxley indicates he’ll be a frontrunner in the world title eliminator tournament, and maybe this will be Ethan’s push he’s been waiting for.
I’m actually rather surprised we didn’t see MJF at all tonight, but Regal did shout him out in his own promo. Regal of course predicts Moxley winning but who knows what’ll happen at Full Gear. We got a great segment from The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn, and of course Billy’s biological sons took offense when Bowens suggested adoption. We’re definitely getting a Six Man Tag of The Acclaimed & Daddy Ass VS The Firm’s Gunns & Morrissey. Then that’ll lead into FTR VS Gunns at ROH Final Battle in December.
And on the other side, we got a good promo with Rick Ross, Keith Lee & Swerve to address how messed up that was for Swerve to break Billy’s fingers. I wonder if Rick Ross was the cameraman… But anyway, this just adds to Keith not wanting to tag with Swerve over how he’s the Heel in this. Can’t wait to see how that goes in the title match, that’ll be another show stealer at Full Gear like it was at All Out. That will definitely be The Acclaimed’s win as Keith & Swerve are probably going to fall apart as a team during the match.
Great vignette for the House of Black, it definitely dismisses any thoughts that Malakai was leaving. Maybe they make their presence known again at Full Gear for either the tag or trios titles. And a good little video for The Elite where they’re again making a point of AEW trying to be AEW without them. The video being specifically about the trios titles could be foreshadowing that their return will be all about the trios titles so that they can get those belts back and have the fun they were meant to. And Cabana being Jericho’s surprise opponent was great, because one: I’ve been missing Cabana. And two: it’s a sign that CM Punk is out, so Cabana can come back without stress.
But of course Jericho wins, he’s going to keep this Ring of Jericho thing going. But the BCC being united going after the JAS and saving Ian was cool. Maybe we get a Six Man Tag, then who knows, maybe we get Yuta VS Garcia for the Pure title again, maybe Yuta moves up to go after Jericho since Jericho wants after all former ROH title holders, and Yuta counts since he had the Pure Championship before Garcia. I would love if Jericho faced Rush, that’d be really good stuff. Hell, let’s bring in Minoru Suzuki since he was a former ROH World TV Champion. Or Jeff Cobb, he was also one. Any of those names would be fun stuff against Jericho, and their factions would work against JAS.
The TBS Championship match was of course a whole lot of nothing given the story of Nyla holding onto the belt while Jade still has the title. Nyla was pretty funny on the mic, though. And though Kiera tried, she’s one third Nyla’s size so she wasn’t going to snatch that belt back. This obviously culminates at Full Gear, we’re either seeing 42-0 (unless AEW pads Jade’s numbers with Dark and Elevation again) or we’re seeing Jade take her first loss because Nyla and Vickie are playing the distraction game better than Jade and The Baddies. And I really hope Jade and Nyla get to give us a match that steals the show, both are such great characters and impressive athletes, they deserve nothing less.
Awesome stuff out of the All-Atlantic Championship. For one, great Triple Threat, I do like that AEW is having this title be that competitive. Then we got a great return from Jungle Boy, he took it to Luchasaurus and that grudge match is coming around. And of course, Pac is trying to have the others join in on blurring the lines, but Fenix & Penta aren’t having it. If The Elite really are coming back for the trios titles, maybe Death Triangle falling apart is the reason The Elite beats them in the match. But Cassidy winning is great, and I could NOT have guessed Shibata would show up. Cassidy VS Shibata is great stuff, but I’m thinking Pac has to screw that match up. Shibata feels bigger than the All-Atlantic title, and it just makes sense that Cassidy VS Pac happens one more time to put things to bed.
And we got great stuff in the main event for the ROH World TV title. Joe VS Cage was a great match but naturally, Joe wins. The Embassy keeps wanting after the ROH titles, because duh, they’re going to be a big part of ROH’s revival. Hobbs attacking Wardlow was also a natural move, and Hobbs VS Wardlow has to be for Full Gear, too. Who knows how things go, but it would be awesome for Hobbs to get that title, he’s put in great work.

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?
Ace Austin & Juice Robinson VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia!
The Bang Bang Gang has been struggling to stay afloat, and now they go up against The Death Riders’ Decoder & Dragon Slayer! Will Yuta & Garcia keep the momentum going from what Moxley and the others did earlier tonight? Or can these Collision Cowboys ride off into the Peoria sunset with a win?

Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?

Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him!

Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS MJF!
The Jet called out The Scumbag for sneaking away with a win when they battled for the AEW World Championship, and wants to prove that this title is for truly the best wrestlers! But will Knight be #2Fly2Stop? Or will Maxwell Jacob Friedman look to put more gold on his resumé?
The introductions are made, and MJF makes sure Justin Roberts says, “He doesn’t hail from a white trash state like Virginia…” The belt is raised, and we see who is truly the Face of TNT!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two step up, but MJF kicks low! MJF TOSSES Knight out, then hurries to THROW Knight into the steel steps! Then he whips Knight hard into the railing! Knight writhes, the fans boo, but MJF soaks up heat. MJF talks trash as he reels Knight in, lift shim up, and BARRIER BOMBS him! The fans boo but MJF takes the camera to film while he scuffs Knight. “He’s a nobody!” MJF puts Knight in the ring, tells fans to shut up, and he pushes Knight to a cover, ONE!! Knight toughs it out but MJF clamps on tight. The fans rally as Knight endures and fights around. Knight rises, fires body shots, then runs.
Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges to springboard and CROSSBODY! Knight keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges more, but MJF ELBOWS Knight down! The fans boo but MJF drags Knight up again for a back suplex. Knight lands out, back suplexes, but MJF lands out! Another back suplex, but into the CUTTER! Cover, TWO! MJF argues with the ref but the count was fair. MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs as he storms over to Knight at the apron. The fans taunt him about his hair but MJF just frowns. MJF drags Knight up, but Knight HOTSHOTS MJF away! Knight hurries in, slides under, then hurdles over to SATELLITE DDT! Both men are down but the fans fire up!
The fans rally again as both men rise up. MJF stands first, storms up, but Knight counter punches! Knight fires haymakers, fires body shots, then has MJF on the ropes! The fans fire up as Knight fires off, but the ref backs Knight off! Knight storms back up, whips, but MJF reverses. Knight goes up and over, hurdles again, then DROPKICKS! The fans fire up as both men are back down! But then Knight kips up! Knight is feeling it, and he runs up to UFO SPLASH! Cover, TOW! MJF survives but Knight stays cool. Knight drags MJF around, then climbs the corner. The fans cheer as Knight aims, but MJF hurries out of the ring!
The fans boo but Knight hops down to PLANCHA! Down goes MJF and the fans fire up again! Knight puts MJF back in, but MJF hurries back out! The fans boo again, but Knight builds speed! Knight DIVES and down goes MJF yet again! The fans cheer as Knight gets MJF in the ring, but then MJF bails out another side. The fans boo but Knight shrugs and builds speed again. Knight FLIES and that’s three for three! The fans cheer as Knight stands tall on the desk! Knight then brings MJF back into the ring, but MJF says let’s make it four. MJF goes to the ramp side, but Knight says might as well complete the set!
Knight aims, springboards, and FLYING LARIATS MJF down at the ramp! All four sides belong to Knight and the fans are thunderous! Knight drags MJF up, puts him in the ring a fifth time, and now MJF is stuck in the drop zone. Knight is up top, but then MJF just goes to the far side. Knight runs up, MJF DUMPS Knight out, and then the HEAT- NO, Knight powers out! Knight springboards, MJF gets under, but Knight comes back and sunset flips! MJF flails to stay standing, but Knight brings him down to a cover! TWO and MJF sits on Knight, TWO as Knight sunset flips again! TWO and both men stand! SATELLITE denied into a CUTTER! Cover, TWO!
The fans cheer as both men are down again. Knight crawls away to a corner, MJF runs up, but Knight goes up and over. MJF ELBOWS Knight, goes up top, and calls his shot. But Knight BODY SHOTS first! Knight goes up to get MJF, but MJF resists. Knight CLUBS away on MJF, but MJF SHOVES Knight! Knight backflips, but he hobbles from the landing. MJF wobbles, Knight still goes to the UPPER ROOM! MJF is down but Knight clutches his knee. Knight fights through the pain to go to the apron. The fans rally behind Knight as he climbs again, MOTHERSHIP FLOP as MJF moves! MJF hobbles over to Knight, he grabs the leg!
MJF steps through, but Knight BOOTS him away! MJF hits buckles, Knight runs up, but Knight’s leg buckles! MJF SUPERKICKS Knight, then goes up for the LONG ISLAND SUNSRISE! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives the Sunrise and MJF is beside himself! The fans rally up again while both men are down, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Knight and MJF stir, Knight still clutching the bad leg. The ref checks him but Knight says he can still go. Knight goes to the ropes, hobbles around, but MJF runs up to KICK the leg out! Knight flounders but MJF stalks him. MJF KICKS the leg out again! Knight flounders against the ropes before falling down. MJF drags Knight to center, talks trash about the leg, then turns Knight over for the HALF CRAB! Dynamite returns to single picture as the fans rally and Knight endures! Knight powers up, crawls his way forward, but MJF drags him back to center! MJF sits deep, even CLUBS the leg, but Knight manages to turn over and BOOT MJF away!
The fans cheer as Knight hobbles up, but he still can’t run! MJF grins, then goes up the corner again, for the LONG- SUPERKICK! Knight suckers MJF in and hurries up the corner himself! The fans fire up for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! But Knight can’t make the pin from how he landed so hard! Knight crawls his way back to cover, TWO!! MJF survives thanks to that delay, but the fans know, “This is Awesome!” Knight pounds the mat in frustration, then clutches his leg as he crawls over to the ropes. MJF is on the apron, Knight hobbles and runs up, but MJF blocks the kick! DRAGON SCREW in the ropes! MJF is foaming at the mouth!
MJF DDTS the foot again and again and again! MJF blows snot AND spits on Knight! The fans boo but MJF just snarls as he looms over Knight. MJF Alabama Lifts, and he ALABAMA SLAMS Knight down! Kneeling cover, TWO!! MJF covers again, TWO! Another cover, ONE!!! The fans fire up as Knight refuses to stay down! MJF is furious but the fans cheer Knight on! MJF storms outside, grabs the belt, then snarls as he goes back to the ring. The fans boo but the ref reprimands MJF. Th eref takes the belt, but duh! Dynamite Diamond Ring! But Knight LOW BLOWS MJF first!! Knight cradles, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
MJF is absolutely shocked! He got outsmarted! He got beat at his own dirty game! But then MJF CHOP BLOCKS Knight! The sore loser then scares the ref off before he winds up with that diamond ring. But wait! DARBY ALLIN literally drops in from the ceiling! Darby unhooks himself from the harness, then storms into the ring to dragon sleeper MJF! SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby makes sure justice is served, and the fans cheer him on as he gets a mic. MJF also gets a mic, and MJF says, “You people suck! Darby, real typical. Two peas in a pod! Two low life cheaters getting along, huh?!”
But joke’s on you! MJF doesn’t care about Knight, this match doesn’t count, he was barely trying! The fans laugh given how MJF’s red, sweaty and gasping for air. But MJF says what he cares about is HIS Triple B, HIS AEW World Championship! The fans boo but MJF says shut up! MJF wants his rematch! Darby paces, but the fans already chant “NO! NO! NO!” Darby also says, “NO! I’m not giving you that rematch until you put something on the line! And if I survive tonight with Brody King, I think I know exactly who deserves a shot next week.” MJF says MJF, but Darby looks to The Jet. The fans cheer but MJF says don’t even think about it!
But Darby indeed says, it will be Kevin Knight! The fans cheer, but then BRODY KING shows up! The King of Death stares The Devil down, then moves past him to join Darby and Knight in the ring. Brody and Darby stare down, then Brody says, “I have some bad news for you, Darby, cuz you’re not gonna survive tonight! And Jet, I got even worse news for you. Next week, you’re not gonna be facing Darby Allin. You’re gonna be facing the NEW AEW World Champion! ROOF!” The fans cheer that, and Brody returns backstage. The main event is gonna be wild, but who carries the title into next Wednesday?
Backstage interview with Adam Copeland & Christian Cage.
Renee Paquette is with The Rated R Superstar and Captain Charisma, and notes that Cage has a fractured arm, how is he feeling? Cage says his arm feels fine, don’t worry about the arm. Then they also have to address FTR upping the ante on their New York Street Fight by making it part I Quit match. Do they accept? Cage says, “We accept!” Cope says that’s a bit quick given Cage’s history with I Quit matches in AEW. Just saying… Cage says if he’s told you once, he’s told you a thousand times, he never said those words! He didn’t! Cage storms off, Cope says he totally did. But neither of them will say it again. Will C&C be more than ready to make the Top Guys give up?
The Brawling Birds VS Emily Jaye & Jordan Blade!
Jamie Hayter may have missed a week, but she’s back to 100% and ready to pick up where she left off. But will she and Alex Windsor be able to bounce back from losing to Thekla back to back? Or will they get caught off guard by Lady Stunner & The Ankle Breaker?
The teams sort out and Jamie steps to Jordan. They circle as the fans rally, then Jamie blocks a kick to ROCK Jordan! Then she BLASTS Emily just because before she BOOTS Jordan! Jamie bumps Jordan off buckles, DOUBLE CHOPS, then tags Alex. Alex DOUBLE CHOPS, then she tags Jamie! Another DOUBLE CHOP, and then tag back to Alex for a DOUBLE CHOP! Jamie tags back in, The Birds wind up, but Emily runs in! The Birds DOUBLE ELBOW Emily before they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Jordan! Jamie then hauls Jordan up to snap suplex! SLIDING LARIAT and then ground ‘n’ pound! Jamie brings Jordan up, Windsor joins in, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS!
Then they set up, The Birds DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Jordan sputters, right into TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! Cover, The Brawling Birds win!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
Yep, it’s like Jamie wasn’t even out a week! But will they make sure to settle the score with The Triangle of Madness on the road to Double or Nothing?
The Triangle of Madness speaks.
Thekla says everybody says Thekla, why do you always call people “dumb b*tches?” Thekla would love to stop calling people dumb b*tches, but there are just too many dumb b*tches in AEW! Skye Blue adds that what happened on Collision to Persephone was entirely The Birds’ fault. But getting mist in the face was the best thing to ever happen to Skye, so maybe it opens Perse’s eyes, too. So what happened to Jamie & Alex? They’re supposed to be the big bad Brawling Birds, but they just can’t seem to handle a little ol’ Toxic Spider. Thekla’s advice is to stick with the tag team, because when it is 1v1, Thekla is everything, and they are nothing!
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to be confident in her toxic dominance, but will someone come along and figure out how to wipe this spider out?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Ace Austin w/ Juice Robinson!
While The Rainmaker wants his fight with The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, he still has a duty to defend this title. Will Okada prove what a real champion looks like? Or will The Inevitable make him Fold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this gamble!
The bell rings and Callis admits, Ace has impressive quads. Too bad his hometown of Atlantic City is a dump. The fans tell off Callis even though he’s just on commentary, and the two tie up. Ace and Okada push each other back and forth, but Okada’s height becomes his leverage. Okada has Ace in a corner, but the ref counts. Okada lets off, then fakes the chop. Okada pats Ace on the shoulders, then stomps low! The fans are torn as Okada stomps a mudhole, but he backs off as the ref counts. Okada soaks up heat, then he ROCKS Ace with a forearm. Okada whips, Ace ducks and rolls to drop toehold and ENZIGIRI!
The fans cheer while Ace steps over to cradle, TWO! Ace DROPKICKS Okada down and the fans fire up! Ace KICKS Okada in the back, then CLUBS his arm. The fans rally as Ace lines up a shot and ROCKS Okada. Okada goes to a corner, Ace KICKS and CLUBS him. Ace whips Okada to ropes but Okada reverses, only for ace to fireman’s carry! Ace does squats to then DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The fans fire up for “The Quad God” as he poses. Ace runs up, Okada dodges, and Okada comes back. Ace slips into the ropes and Okada hits buckles! Ace then slips back inside to FLYING CHUCK! Okada staggers while the fans fire up again!
Okada bails out, Ace takes aim, but Okada avoids the plancha! Ace avoids the leg sweep, and Okada is stunned to see the handstand! Okada applauds, that’s impressive even to him. But then Ace DROPKICKS Okada again, then PLANCHAS! Okada avoids the impact, kicks low, and DDTS to the floor! Ace writhes and Okada grins while the fans applaud. The ref checks Ace while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Okada “apologizes” to the ref, then drags Ace up. Okada RAMS Ace into the railing! The ref reprimands, Okada rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Okada then RAMS Ace into more railing! Ace drops to his knees, Okada offers a high-five, and a young fan returns it. The fans applaud that, then Okada offers one to Callis. They high-five, cheapening the moment. Okada puts Ace in the ring, Ace checks his head, but Okada brings him up. Okada bumps Ace hard off buckles! Okada slaps Ace around, then stands him up to whip hard into buckles again! Ace falls back, checking his mouth, but his mouthguard did its part to protect his teeth.
Okada stands Ace up but Ace fires a body shot! And a CHOP! Ace then lifts Okada, but Okada fights free to kick and DDT! Okada pushes Ace over to the cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that but Okada brushes it off. Okada paces, sneaks a middle finger at the fans, then scuffs Ace. Okada kicks Ace around while Dynamite returns to single picture. Ace stands but Okada Alabama Lifts, tucks, and REVERSE NECKBREAKERS! The fans rally as Okada brings Ace up again. Okada scoops to SLAM Ace in the drop zone! Standard formula says Okada goes up, and he aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit, and Okada winds up… The Rainmaker Middle Finger!
Okada drags Ace up, wristlocks, but Ace fights the ripcord! They run around and tumble out of the ring! The fans rally up as Ace is on the apron. Okada stands, but he blocks Ace’s Penalty Kick! Okada THROWS Ace, Ace handstands again! Ace then handsprings over the sweep! PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up as Okada staggers around the way. Ace builds speed to FOSBURY FLOP! Ace just manages to clear the apron and the fans fire up for that! Ace gets Okada up and into the ring. Ace climbs, springboards, but Okada dodges! But then Ace fireman’s carries! Okada slips free, ROLLING- NO, Ace blocks to KNEE low!
Ace KICKS and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS! Then “CLICK CLICK!” BOOM DROP! The fans fire up for Ace as he runs corner to corner, forearm SMASH! Ace pushes Okada out, springboards, and FLYING LEG DROPS! Cover, TWO!! Okada survives and Ace is stunned! Ace takes out his ace card, and runs up for- A BOOT! Ace still reels Okada in, but Okada fights the suplex. Ace wrenches, Okada rolls Ace, TWO! Okada CLUBS Ace down! Okada drags Ace up, whips him to ropes, but Ace avoids the dropkick! Ace then lines up the shot again, THE- NO, Okada pops Ace up, but Ace sunset flips! TWO!! Okada rises, BOOTS, and Ace falls!
Okada lines up a shot, he runs up, but he blocks a boot. Okada flips Ace, Ace lands safe on the apron and ROCKS Okada! Ace steps in again, FLYING- DROPKICK! The anti-air hits hard, then Okada ripcords! RAIN- NO, Okada ducks it to backslide! TWO!! Callis freaks out at how close that was! Ace runs, but into the DROPKICK! Okada snarls, gut wrenches, and TOMBSTONES!! Okada roars because he’s not done! Okada ripcords for THE RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Ace was so close to the jackpot, but Okada isn’t one of the best ever for nothing! Mark Davis congratulates his Don Callis Family brother, while Callis himself SMOTHERS Ace for pushing Okada this far! Juice Robinson scares Callis off, but then wait! Konosuke Takeshita is here! The Alpha stares down Okada, and signals that he’s taking that title. Will Takeshita avenge himself for that Continental Classic controversy? Or will no one dry up the reign?
A country town is in chaos!
They’re all running away from the saloon as someone is putting the hurt on everybody. This man then picks up a wanted poster, the bounty for The Most Wanted, Bandido. And that man… is Swerve Strickland! Prince Nana hands Swerve his lighter, and Swerve burns the bounty. Is The Outlaw about to enter Swerve’s House, and never return?
The Death Riders speak.
While Marina Shafir grapples with Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia says, “This is who we are, and this is how we train. You don’t get to be the best out there until you’re the best in here first.” But then look who walks in! Will Ospreay is here, and Jon Moxley says he has arrived! Did Ospreay get cleared? Nope. Might as well say it now, though: Ospreay is going to Japan, he and the Empire boys have a big title match, and then we’ll see. Moxley says, “Loyalty. You are too good to be true.” Moxley looks to Pac, kinda pokes at him, then says first thing’s first: Moxley needs Ospreay to drop everything.
Everything up here in the mind. The clouds, the vision, the thing that makes you see things up there. Then everything in the heart. The tugs, the pulls. And then everything in the gut, the anger that burns a hole. Drop it all. Excess baggage, they don’t need it. The feelings Ospreay has about Moxley, drop ’em. They don’t need excess baggage. Moxley makes no promises, he is not a miracle worker. But when Moxley makes a commitment to something, he sees it through all the way to the end. All he asks is the same in return. Ospreay nods and says okay. Moxley says beautiful! Ospreay and Pac stare down, but they leave it at that.
Ospreay asks where’s the ring. Moxley says they don’t need a ring. They’re starting from the ground up. The rest is proprietary, so sorry. Moxley pushes the cameraman out of the room, and now the real work begins. Will, or rather, can Ospreay survive the Death Rider dungeon and come out a stronger wrestler on the other side?
FTR is here!
Fairfax boos as the AEW World Tag Team Champions and #BigStoke make their way to ringside, but to sit by commentary so they can watch this next match.
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage VS Roppongi Vice!
While C&C want revenge on FTR so badly, they’re willing to stake their career as a team on it, this is to settle a different score! Will this tag team that reeks of awesomeness bring down Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta? Or will tonight belong to Azucar & #JustTrent?
The teams sort out and Cage starts against Rocky. The fans rally while Cage keeps that bad arm away from Rocky. They tie up, Rocky wrenches the bad arm, then wristlocks. Cage powers Rocky to a corner, the ref counts, but Cage backs off at 4. The fans cheer while Cage talks trash on FTR. Cage and Rocky reset, feel things out, but Rocky kicks low. Rocky wrenches, CLUBS, and CLUBS the bad arm. Rocky CLUBS away on the arm, then wrenches again. Cage KNEES low, then runs, but into a DROPKICK! Rocky slides for the soccer celebration, but Cage snatches him! REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO!
Cage tags Cope and the fans cheer as they THROW Rocky into the corner again and again and again! Then BOOT LEG SWEEP COMBO! Cover, TWO! Rocky toughs it out, but Cope flips off FTR. Cope whips Rocky but Rocky KICKS back! Tag to Trent but Cope kicks and CLUBS Trent! Cope whips, Trent reverses, then Trent drops down to STANDING METEORA! Trent snarls, covers, TWO! Cope is tougher than that but Trent stalks Cope to a corner. Trent pie faces Cope, CHOPS him, then CHOPS again! Trent whips corner to corner, Cope reverses and Trent tumbles up, down, and into a BOOT! The fans cheer as Cope stands tall.
Cope drags Trent up, but Trent powers free! Cope drop toeholds Trent onto the ropes, tags Cage, and Cage stands on Trent to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Cage steps down, and he slingshots to the outside. Cope SPLASHES Trent before Cage UPPERCUTS him down! Cage then drags Trent out, THROWS him into barriers, and the fans cheer as Cage drags him up again. Cage ROCKS Trent, brings him around, and he SMACKS Rocky along the way! Cage puts Trent against the post, but Cash Wheeler shouts at him. Cage grabs Cash through the ropes, but Trent wrenches the bad arm, to SWING it into the POST!
The fans boo as FTRPG Vice are talking trash on C&C, but even Stokely talks trash from commentary. Wait, who is this standing up in the matching hoodies? It’s THE CONGLOMERATION! The fans cheer as Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong make their presence known, and Stokely senses it. Stoke turns around to see Conglomeration having snacks, and Stoke takes a swing!? Cassidy dodges that easily, and then SMACKS Stoke with the popcorn! FTR is furious, but they end up brawling with Conglomeration! RPG Vice mugs Christian while Conglomeration handles FTR & Stokely, off into the crowd!
The fans fire up as this brawl moves through the aisleway, and Cassidy is giving Stokely a noogie to his bald head! But Trent sets Cage up for Rocky’s FLYING KNEE! RPG Vice still has control while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Rocky talks a lot more trash on Cage, but Cope scares him off! The ref reprimands everyone, and Cope backs off while Trent stands Cage up. Trent whips Cage hard into railing! Trent then tags Rocky, and Rocky digs his boot into Cage’s bad arm against the railing! Rocky puts Cage in the ring, stomps the bad arm again, then drags Cage around. Tag to Trent, they double wrench to double BODY BLOW! Then they run to JUMP KNEE and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cage toughs it out but Trent slaps him around. Trent drags Cage up, snapmares, and he clamps on a top wristlock! Cage endures, Cope coaches him, and the fans rally up.
Cage rises, fires body shots, then runs the ropes, but into a kick! Trent hits an ARMBAR DDT! Cover, TWO! Cage scrambles to ropes but Trent tags Rocky in. Rocky steps on Cage very much like Cage would, then steps off as the ref counts. Rocky argues with the ref and with Cope, letting Trent SMACK Cage in the distraction! Cope seethes but he can’t do anything while Rocky traps Cage’s arm for an ELBOW JAMMER! Rocky then double wristlocks the arm and puts on the pressure. Cage endures, fights back up, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally again as Cage wrenches out, but Rocky wrenches to headlock, only for Cage to hit a BIG back suplex!
Both men are down and the fans rally harder! Rocky crawls, hot tag to Trent! Trent BLASTS Cope, the fans boo, but Trent tags Rocky back in. Trent puts Cage on the ropes, Rocky DOUBLE STOMPS Cage down for Trent to SLIDING KNEE! Cover, but Cope breaks it! The fans cheer but Rocky keeps Cage from Cope. Cage fires a body shot, but Rocky KICKS the bad arm! And KICKS, and KICKS, then CHOPS! Rocky puts Cage up top, climbs up after him, and goes for the arm. Cage fires body shots, shoves Rocky back, but Rocky returns for a SUPER ARM-DRAG! Then the ARMBAR! Cage endures while the fans rally up again!
Cage fights around, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer while Rocky lets go in frustration. Tag to Trent and he storms up on Cage. Trent ROCKS Cage but Cage fires hands in return! Cage fights off RPG Vice, sneaks under Trent, but Rocky tags in! Rocky whips Cage to a corner, but Cage ELBOWS him away! Cage goes up, but Rocky grabs the arm! But Cage CLAWS Rocky’s face! Cage then TORNADO DDTS Rocky! The fans fire up while both men are down again! Cage and Rocky crawl, hot tags to Trent and Cope! The fans fire up as Cope BACKDROPS Trent! Then FLAPJACKS! Then he whips corner to corner, runs up, but into an ELBOW!
Trent has Cope, TORNADO- NO, Cope denies the DDT, then hits the IMPALER! Cover, but Rocky runs up! Cope moves, the ELBOW DROP hits Trent! The fans cheer, and Cope ROCKS Rocky! And CHOPS Trent! Cope runs, but into a DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! And then another DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! Trent Alabama Lifts Cope while Rocky climbs, but Cage SHOVES Rocky down! And a BOOT into the CODE RED! Cover, but Rocky breaks it! Cage has Rocky but Rocky CLAWS Cage’s face! Rocky runs, but Cage SMACKS him with the brace! Trent CLOBBERS Cage! But Cope SPEAR- NO, Trent leaps over! Roll-up, with feet on the ropes! The ref sees it in time!
The fans cheer as Trent is caught cheating! Trent argues with the ref, then pleads with him. But Cope runs up, only for Trent to BOOT him! Trent runs up, but Cope pops him up, for Cage’s SPEAR! Cover, C&C win!
Winners: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage, by pinfall
They may be less than 100% physically, but they’re still 100% mentally! As for emotionally, Cage grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Given the role RPG Vice played in Cage’s arm injury, he SNAPS the crossbar of the chair off, and he hands it to Cope! Bent as it is, Cope uses it to GAG Trent! TORONTO SMILE!! Cage grabs a mic and he asks Trent, “Do you know what to say?! Say it!” Trent shouts, but the crossbar is kinda muddying it into “I qwimt!” They take the bar out and Cage asks again. Trent shouts, “I QUIT! I QUIT!” Cope lets Trent go and the fans cheer. Cage says, “I will never say ‘I quit,’ you little b*tch.”
Cope & Christian have their payback on RPG Vice, but now it will be a matter of getting their revenge on FTR. Will Cash & Dax prove they’re truly the best tag team of all time? Or will they have to admit defeat in the worst way possible?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and brings up that this is twice now that Ricochet has defeated him with the “Ricosault.” Does Jericho think there is any validity that this Ricosault is an improvement on the Lionsault? Jericho says what he does think is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But he’s not really flattered right now, he’s more pissed off. But here’s the thing, Ricochet has obviously been following Jericho’s career very closely. But not close enough because if he was- THE DEMAND ATTACKS! Ricochet, Kaun & Liona beat Jericho down 3v1, then get him up to his knees. Ricochet asks if this is what Jericho wanted. Is this what Jericho thought this would be in his big return to AEW?!
No more jokes, no more games, no more subliminal messages! Ricochet told Jericho to leave or get hurt! Look at him! What do you gotta say?! Is this what you wanted?! Jericho says, “Eat s*it, bald!” Ricochet HAMMERS away on Jericho, then RIPS the shirt away! Then The Gates of Agony THROW Jericho into a road case! Ricochet says that’s what you get! Then Ricochet uses the case to backflip over Jericho, and says, “You’re not even worth it. AHA~!” The Demand leaves Jericho down and out, but will they be the ones to kick him out of AEW?

Megan Bayne & Lena Kross have been a dominant team since Dynasty, and are perhaps the most dominant team of all time! But will they make these former AEW Women’s World Champions #BowDown? Or can #Shidalander truly become the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who has true power!
The teams sort out and Shida starts against Lena. The bell rings and Shida DROPKICKS Lena! Then she fires a shot on Megan, but Megan doesn’t move! Shida fires shots on Lena, on Megan, but then Lena KNEES low! Lena bumps Shida off buckles, RAMS into her again and again, but stops as the ref counts. Shida fires more shots on Lena, but Lena THROWS Shida away! The fans applaud, as does Megan, but Shida BOOTS Lena away! Shida runs up, but Lena RUNS her over! Lena soaks up cheers and jeers, then drags Shida up to bump her off buckles. Tag to Megan, Divine Dominion double whip, and they DOUBLE SHOULDER Shida down!
The fans are torn but Megan soaks it all up. Megan drags Shida up, back suplexes, but then counters Shida’s sunset flip into a FALL AWAY SLAM! Not the cleanest throw but an effective one. Megan “kicks rocks” at Shida, then runs up, but Shida slips around! Shida waistlocks, she RAMS Megan into a corner, then runs corner to corner to JUMP KNEE! Shida climbs up and the fans cheer, but Megan stops Shida before she even starts! Shida still throws hands, slips free, and kicks low. Shida runs, but Megan blocks the jump knee! SPINEBUSTER! Shida tumbles out while Megan seethes. Shida is frustrated but she storms back in!
Shida dodges Megan, CLAWS Megan’s face, then she grabs her kendo stick! But Kris grabs it, telling Shida to stop! They argue, but then Kris uses the stick to yank Shida out of the way! Megan POSTS herself instead of hitting Shida! Shida tags Kris, they have Megan in the ropes, and then Shida kicks Kris?! Oh, so she can snap suplex her into Megan! A unique attack, but Kris drags Megan up. Megan RAMS Kris into the Divine Dominion’s corner! Tag to Lena, they double whip Kris, but Kris ducks ‘n’ dodges to DOUBLE RAN- NO! The champs stop Kris to SLAM her down! Then they drag Kris up, bring her in, and DOUBLE SUPLEX! But Kris lands out!
Kris BOOTS Lena, DUMPS Megan, but Lena ROCKS Kris! Lena whips, Kris reverses and ELBOWS Lena, then PELES! Lena staggers, Kris gut wrenches and tucks, but Lena drops down! So Kris makes it a cross-legged cover, TWO! Kris ends up on ropes, Lena blocks the ref’s view, Megan hits a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Megan grins as she gets one in, then Lena Electric Chair Lifts Kris! To HOTSHOT her on the ropes! Divine Dominion is indeed dominating as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Divine Dominion revels in the cheers and jeers, then Lena argues with the ref before she brings Kris up. Lena bumps Kris off buckles, tags Megan, and Megan stomps away in the corner. Megan stops as the ref counts, but that lets Lena CHOKE Kris! Megan drags Kris up, RAMS into her again and again, then CHOPS! Tag to Lena, and Megan BLASTS Shida for good measure! Then a SPLASH and BUTTERFLY PLEX for Kris before Lena adds a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Kris survives but she’s isolated with Shida down on the floor. Lena stomps Kris down, then stalks her to the ropes. Lena CHOKES Kris, the ref counts, but Lena steps back.
Kris flounders around but Lena drags her up. Kris fires body shots but Lena CLUBS her. Lena snapmares, runs, and SLIDING- NO, Kris turns that into a ghost pin! TWO, and Lena LARIATS Kris down! Lena snarls as she covers, TWO! Lena clamps onto Kris with a chinlock and grinds her down. Shida is back on the corner, and she rallies with the fans for Kris to get up. Kris rises, but Lena THROWS her back down by her hair! Lena “apologizes” to the ref, then covers, TWO! Kris toughs it out but Lena keeps on her. Lena stands Kris up, but Kris JAWBERAKERS! And throat chops! And LEG SWEEPS! Dynamite returns as Kris crawls!
Lena tags Megan, and Megan runs up to BLAST Shida! Then Divine Dominion reel Kris in for a DOUBLE- NO, Kris fights the suplex! Kris fires CHOP after CHOP after CHOP on the champs! The fans fire up as she runs, then DOUBLE RANAS! The Divine Dominion tumbles around, Shida reaches out, but Megan drags Kris back! Kris fights the fisherman, but Megan BOOTS her! Kris rebounds to DISCUS LARIAT! Both women are down again and the fans fire up! Kris crawls, reaches out, but so does Megan. Hot tags to Lena and Shida! The fans fire up as Shida fires off on Lena! Lena ROCKS Shida, but Shida fires another flurry!
Lena ROCKS Shida again, then whips, but Shida reverses, only for Lena to block! Shida fires a flurry, Lena shoves her away, but Shida dodges! Shida goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up for Shida and she runs the ropes, but Megan snatches her! Lena BOOTS Shida while the fans boo. Lena whips, Shida dodges to KNEE Megan down! Then she drop toeholds Lena into Megan! And then Shida DOUBLE SLIDING KICKS them down! The fans fire up as Shida hurries to the apron! Shida aims to DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! Divine Dominion is down but Shida rises again! The fans chant “HOLY SHIDA!” as she brings Lena around.
Shida puts Lena in the ring, drags her up, and reels her in, but Lena fights the suplex! Lena suplexes, Shida slips free, but Lean HOOK KICKS! Kris tags in and fires off shots! Lena ducks a kick to ROCK Kris! Lena whips, Kris goes up, but Megan traps her! Lena YANKS Kris down, then tags Megan! Lena forearm SMASHES, then ELBOWS Kris! Lena runs side to side, and so does Megan! BOOT follows BOOT, then Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Megan drags Kris up, ROCKS her, then whips her. Kris reverses, Lena tags in, but Kris goes Matrix to avoid Megan’s flying lariat! Kris kips up, but into Lena’s SUPERKICK!
Shida runs up to ROUNDHOUSE Lena! SHOTGUN BOOT from Megan to Shida! Kris BLUE THUNDER BOMBS Megan! Then she ROUNDHOUSES Lena! The fans fire up as Divine Dominion is stacked on top of each other, and Kris climbs a corner! Kris aims to 450 SPLASH!! Two for one on the impact and Kris hurries to cover Lena, TWO?!? Kris is stunned but Lena is dazed. Kris hauls Lena up, but Shida tags herself in! Kris is upset but she SLAMS Lena down for Shida to METEORA! Then the FALCON ARROW!! Cover, TWO?!? Lena survives again and now Shida is shocked! Shida aims for the KATA- NO, Megan intercepts with a BELLY2BELLY!
But Kris SUPERKICKS Megan! Lena waistlocks Kris, Kris switches, but Lean switches back. Megan returns, BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Then they get Shida up, DIVINE INTERVENTION!! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Granted, Shida went a bit rogue changing things on Kris there, but it’s hard to deny that Megan & Lena have the stats to reign forever and ever! Will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, ever dethrone Divine Dominion?
Programming note for next week!
Wednesday, May 6th, North Charleston, South Carolina is in for a treat! They don’t just get AEW Dynamite, they get AEW Collision as a THREE HOUR COMBO! All live on TBS and HBO Max, make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Renee Paquette is now with The Jackal himself, as well as Andrade El Idolo, and speaks to the incredible tear- MJF steps in and says, “No, no, no, Renee, I’m sorry, incredible tear? Here’s what you have done. You have ruined this company! Thanks to you, Darby Allin is on a reign of terror!” Andrade says okay, how you know? W-what? How does MJF know? Because Darby is world champion, that’s how! How you know? Because Don told MJF that Andrade lost his contender’s match! How you know? Because MJF saw it later with his own two eyes! Andrade again asks, “How you know?” Andrade smiles, and MJF says (sarcastically) that Andrade’s real funny.
MJF then shoves Andrade! Callis steps in and has them stop. Andrade is Callis’ money man. MJF is THE money man! Business is business. MJF doesn’t have a belt, there’s no reason for Andrade to fight MJF. And MJF, you need to get that belt back! They’re all better off when MJF is on top! So let’s just focus on business, guys. Okay? Just this once? MJF storms off one way, Andrade the other, and Callis says, “Wild horses, they’re gonna run. What’re you gonna do?” Callis follows Andrade, but will The Real Latino Man accept this truce with The Scumbag?
Rush VS Steven Fuerte!
From wild horses to El Toro Blanco, Rush has certainly been on a stampede since returning from injury. However, he is only getting hungrier and hungrier for gold around his waist. Will that stampede finally lead him to opportunities at Double or Nothing? Or will he have to make due with an appetizer?
The bell rings and Fuerte offers a handshake. Rush DECKS Fuerte instead! Fuerte tumbles out of the ring, Rush goes out after him, and Rush THROWS Fuerte into barriers! The fans fire up as Rush then THROWS Fuerte back into barriers, then stomps away! The ref counts but Rush fires body shots! Rush SMACKS Fuerte off the barriers, then snarls as he drags Fuerte back up. Rush puts Fuerte in the ring, watches him flounder to the corner, and he CHOPS! Fuertes falls, Rush puts him in the corner, then rains down forearms! The ref counts, especially as Rush stomps away! The ref backs Rush down, and Rush just pumps it up!
The fans chant for “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Rush goes corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…! You get the horns!!”” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
Rush made quick work of this one, then he grabs the mic to say cut his music, but in Espanol. Rush continues by saying that he is done with all these dogs! He is Rush, and remember! When you mess with the bull… You get the HORNS! Who else will be trampled under El Toro Blanco as he hunts after gold?
Backstage interview with The Opps.
Renee Paquette is now with Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Hook, and newest member, Anthony Bowens. Renee says Joe is back, looked great back in action, but what is the game plan moving forward? Joe says, “Game plan… Maybe a declaration of intent. Well, it is simple. The Opps, we intend to reassert our dominance here in AEW. How do we plan to do that? I’ll tell you. We plan to do it with men like Katsuyori Shibata, fury made flesh, a man who is kind enough to put on a kick pad so he doesn’t cave in your head when he kicks your skull off.
“We’re gonna do that with men like Anthony Bowens, multiple time world tag team champion here in AEW. A man who has been undervalued, underappreciated, and most importantly, underestimated. And you will see the best version of him now in The Opps. Then we come to Hook, a man who intends to become the new King of Television when he captures the TNT Championship this weekend on Collision. But more importantly, our reign to the top, it includes strategic acquisition. And that brings me to you, Will Ospreay. Y’see, Will, I hope and I pray that you’re not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
“Because those boys in the Death Riders, they had you in the very same position that they saved you from not too long ago, and you know who came and took you out of that? We did, Will. We had your back. So you have to ask yourself, what kind of relationship do you want? Do you want one of convenience? Or one of confidence? Because The Opps are here, and the choice is yours.” That is quite the offer from the Samoan Submission Specialist. But will Ospreay change sides now that he’s already started down the road with the Death Riders? Or will he help The Opps get back on top?
FTR speaks.
Dynamite returns as #BigStoke informs us he just spoke with Tony Khan. Orange Cassidy, they have an “interesting proposition.” Next week, Dynamite Double Jeopardy! Cassidy goes 1v1 with Dax the Ax, and IF Cassidy wins, he and any member of The Conglomeration can challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! But WHEN Dax wins, FTR gets the shot at the AEW World Trios Championships! And Stoke knows ol’ OC is begging for Stoke to get in the ring so they can be face to face, but guess what? That is not gonna happen. Stoke thinks they have a pretty good third partner, and it is the man who took Darby to his limit.
In steps Tommaso Ciampa! The Psycho Killer says last time he and FTR teamed up, if he remembers correctly, Ciampa shelfed Mark Briscoe indefinitely. This time, they take them trios titles. Ciampa picks the popcorn crumb from Stokely’s beard, and says, “Top Guys out.” Ciampa eats the crumb, then waves goodbye. Will these three truly be a dangerous combination? Or can Freshly Squeezed earn himself and… someone… another title opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Hook challenging The Jet for the TNT Championship, we will see The Death Riders & The Dogs team up again, but against the combination of The Rascalz & Top Flight! Another 10 Man Tag, but which side comes out on top? Then there’s more gold on the line in Peoria, Illinois, as “Jungle” Jack Perry defends the AEW National Championship against Mascara Dorada! Will the King of the Ropes add more gold to the collection? Or will Jack Perry continue to live his best Tarzan Life? Then the Bang Bang Gang hopes to rebound from Ace’s loss tonight as they go 2v2 with Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta! Will Juice & Ace win big? Or will The Death Riders dominate the night?
And lastly, “Comeback Killer” Willow Nightingale put out the challenge last week and it has been answered! Anna Jay returns to action, and she challenges for the AEW TBS Championship! Will Anna truly be the Star of the Show? Or will the Babe with the Power overpower The Queenslayer?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Brody King!
The Relentless One promised to be a fighting champion, and so far that is mission accomplished. But he also promised that Kevin Knight gets the next shot next week! Will Darby continue to keep his promises? Or will the King of Death throw those plans for a loop?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we add another chapter to this storied and brutal rivalry!
The bell rings and the fans are fired up already. The rivals step up, shake hands, then back up, only for Darby to SHOTGUN Brody! Darby fires off fists, Brody shove him away, but Darby comes back with fists! Darby springboards, but into a CHOP! Darby is stinging but Brody clamps on a SLEEPER! Darby grab ropes, the ref counts, but then Brody SLAPS Darby’s hands down to GERMAN SUPLEX him away! Darby tumbles all the way to the corner, and Brody roars as he runs! CANNONBALL! Brody hauls Darby up, Canadian Racks, but Darby fights free! Darby goes to another corner, and he BOOTS Brody away!
Darby goes up but Brody CHOPS! Brody climbs, Darby CLUBS away, and Darby hops on for a SUPER CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and bails out while the fans fire up. Darby snarls, builds speed, and DIVES! But he just bounces off of Brody’s body?!? Even Darby has to smile about that, that was wild! Brody drags Darby up and CHOPS him! Darby staggers around the way but Brody follows. Brody brings Darby up, CHOPS him again, and he grabs a chair! The ref reprimands but Brody tells fans to move aside. Brody sits the chair up, makes Darby take a seat, and CHOPS him for good measure. Brody barks, fans join in, and Brody runs up!
But Darby trips Brody and Brody hits the chair! The fans rally as Darby hurries to take that chair for his own. Darby sets it up, brings Brody up, and Darby makes Brody take a seat. Darby fires forearms, CLAWS Brody’s back, then he climbs up the corner! The fans fire up because they know this means SUPER MISSILE DROPKICK! Direct hit on Brody but Darby also writhes from that landing! The fans are thunderous while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Darby but he insists he’s okay. Brody is okay to continue, as well, and both men slowly sit up. Darby hobbles and rolls into the ring, followed by Brody. They slowly stand, and Darby hobbles over to fire forearm after forearm! Brody DECKS Darby with just one! Brody leans on the ropes while he catches his breath, and Darby slowly sits back up. Brody brings Darby around to CHOP him back down! Darby sputters but Brody drags him back up. Brody ROCKS Darby, whips corner to corner hard, and Darby falls to the mat! Brody storms over to Darby, stands him up, and scoops for a SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Brody stays on Darby with another scoop and SLAM! Another cover, TWO! Darby toughs it out and Brody grows frustrated. Brody drags Darby up again, scoops and SLAMS again, then covers, TWO!! Darby continues to survive, and now Brody is oddly amused. Brody looms over Darby, but Darby fires shots at the legs. Brody CHOPS Darby down! Then SENTONS onto Darby! Darby sputters and clutches his leg, it was trapped under him when the senton hit! Brody shrugs, not his fault. Brody looms over Darby but Darby crawls away. Brody stalks Darby, brings him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture for the lift. Darby GUILLOTINE FACELOCKS to counter!
Brody puts Darby on the ropes, fires body shots, and then he CHOPS Darby down! Darby hits apron before he hits floor! The fans rally and bark while Brody argues with the ref. Brody goes out after Darby, drags him up, and CHOKE SLAMS him on the apron! Brody says this is what Darby wanted, so he clears the desk! The fans cheer, and Brody even puts the desk lid off to the side. Brody paces, and watching from the skybox, it’s Kevin Knight. The TNT Champion is facing one of these two next week, so naturally he wants to watch with his own eyes. But then Darby JUMPS on Brody’s back! Darby has a SLEEPER!
Darby squeezes tight, but Brody stays on his feet! Brody runs with Darby as a backpack, CANNOBNALL down through the desk hood!! Fairfax loses their minds as both men are down in the wreckage! We get a quick look backstage to see MJF is watching this, too. The ref checks and both men are able to continue. Brody is up first and he drags Darby around. Brody scoops but Darby fights free! Darby SHOVES Brody into the desk! That corner edge gets Brody right in the stomach! Darby hurries to finish clearing the desk, and he throws hands on Brody! And even SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! Brody SLAPS back!
Darby sputters on the desk, and now Brody climbs up to join him! The fans go nuts as Brody reels Darby in. Darby fires body shots and shots on the legs, but Brody CHOPS Darby! SLEEPER!! Brody dangles Darby like he has before, but Darby CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Brody lets go, Darby hurries back up, CODE RED ON THE DESK! The desk does not break, but both men might be busted up from that landing! The fans lose their minds all the same while the ref checks both men. Darby is up and in the ring, sore as he is, but Brody rises. Darby shakes out the bad leg, builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and they hit the desk again!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Darby sits up, then manages to hobble his way over. Brody follows, they roll into the ring, and Darby goes up the corner! But Brody trips Darby up, then CHOPS him into the Tree of Woe! Brody then sits Darby up, just so he can CHOP Darby again! Brody barks as he storms around, and then he runs up to CANNONBALL!! Darby sputters but Brody drags him up, just to short arm LARIAT him back down! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and shocks Brody! Brody hauls Darby right up, runs, CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!! Cover, TWO!!! Darby survives again and Brody is beside himself!
The fans are thunderous for Darby as he sits up in a daze. Brody shakes his head, unsure how Darby is still doing this. Brody YANKS Darby up, runs up, but Darby dodges the splash! Brody sputters from hitting buckles, and Darby CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Darby HEADBUTTS Brody, but that just pisses Brody off! Brody THROWS Darby onto a cameraman!! The camera is fine but Darby writhes on the ground! Brody storms out after Darby, grabs him by the legs, but Darby claws at the floor mat! The mat is pulled up as Brody drags Darby along! The fans fire up as the camera seems to be along for the ride!
Darby kicks at Brody, kicks free, then hurries to his feet. Brody CHOPS Darby and Darby staggers away. The fans rally and bark, and Brody runs up for a CANNONBALL THROUGH RAILING!! But Darby narrowly avoids that human car wreck!! The fans go nuts as Darby hurries to finish pulling up floor mats! Darby has exposed a good portion of concrete, but he makes sure to roll into the ring to stop the count. Brody storms back up on Darby, but Darby BITES Brody’s hands! The ref reprimands but Brody ROCKS Darby! Brody reels Darby in, and he looks to the floor! The fans freak out but Darby fights the suplex!
Darby SLAPS Brody’s hands, then slides under! SUNSET BOMB on bare concrete!! The fans go nuts again, but Darby isn’t done! Darby climbs, aims, and SUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Direct hit, and a solid one at that! The ring count climbs again, and Darby rolls in at 4 of 10. Brody is down at 6, but he rises at 7! Brody stands at 9, and he lunges in at 9.9! Only for Darby to COFFIN DROP again!! Then COFFIN DROP again!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Championship)
This newest chapter might’ve been their greatest, if not CRAZIEST, one yet! And in the end, Darby’s relentless nature carries him through again! Knight nods, knowing exactly what to expect for next week. But will Knight make it through the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil on Collision to then bring that TNT Championship to the dance? As for Brody, he and Darby shake hands as great rivals and friends. Darby makes sure to look at Knight up in the skybox, will Darby be able to survive his own reign going this hard week after week?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite that they really stacked with title matches. But at the same time, status quo kept and all in awesome ways. Honestly, part of me is surprised that Knight retained against MJF, because of the “Double or Nothing” idea of Darby VS MJF, title for title. But at the same time, maybe Darby is going to make MJF put up his ability to challenge for the world title, same as in MJF VS Hangman. Great win for Knight all the same, and he’ll have a very good match against Hook on Collision, and against Darby Allin next week. Darby VS Brody was an awesome main event, like PPV quality, holy crap, but great win for Darby.
MJF had a great promo with Callis & Andrade to further that feud and its slow burn. I would think that win, lose or draw with Darby, MJF will feud with Andrade for the summer. A great match for Ace Austin against Okada, but again, of course Okada won out so he and Takeshita will still have their title match. Great promo from Thekla & Skye to call out Brawling Birds, and Brawling Birds of course win their match tonight. I still wanna see that Triple Threat of Thekla VS Windsor VS Persephone with someone becoming a double champion, but it feels like it might be Thekla VS Windsor VS Hayter just so Thekla obviously gets away with a win.
Great women’s tag title match, #Shidalander getting their best showing yet, obviously. But given the story they’re building, of course Shidalander loses. Divine Dominion VS Brawling Birds definitely needs to happen for All In London, so all these other matches are just biding time on that. Rush continues to bide his time, but between the TNT Championship and the National Championship, Rush needs to get one of those to vindicate himself here in AEW. Great tag match from C&C VS RPG Vice, but also a great appearance by Conglomeration to go after FTR. They’re already building that story even before Double or Nothing, which is clunky, but I like the idea of the Double Jeopardy. Though, with that, FTR & Ciampa are definitely getting their match for the trios titles.
And great stuff in this story of Will Ospreay’s recovery. Great promo from Ospreay with the Death Riders, but then The Opps just jump in and want to recruit him now? That’s weird. I suppose there is still good continuity here, because Face Opps did fight against Heel Death Riders, and so the factions are double-turning and the feud is continuing. I am pretty sure Ospreay sticks to Death Riders in this, and there’s still so much missed opportunity not having Max Caster as part of Bowens’ story with The Opps. But hey, if it gives us Ospreay VS Shibata and Ospreay VS Joe through such a feud, who am I to question it?
My Score: 9.1/10
