PLAY BY PLAY
William Regal is in the ring!
Fans boo as he says, “Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to hear from your new world champion, Mr. Friedman?” Fans cheer that! Well, we will hear from him, next week. Fans boo again. Regal says that Mr. Friedman has no time for such places as… Where are they again? Chicago? Oh… Fans chant, “We Want Punk!” but Regal says MJF is on the set of a major motion picture. Fans are surely all wondering, “What is the union between Mr. Friedman and myself?” Fans chant “F U REGAL!” and he just smirks. “So uncouth.” But Regal says he’ll tell us this: a number of weeks ago, Regal sent an email to MJF that we will not be privy to until next week when MJF explains everything.
So next week on Dynamite, the Devil Himself, your NEW AEW World Champion, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, will be here. But someone who is here now is MOXLEY! The former AEW World Champion goes to the ring from the crowd, staring the snarling Sir William Regal down. Fans tell Regal, “YOU F’D UP!” as Moxley gets ever closer. Moxley slowly steps into the ring, but then Bryan Danielson rushes out here! Bryan keeps Moxley from getting at Regal and fans boo! Moxley shoves Bryan but Bryan stands his ground between Moxley and Regal. Bryan gets the mic to say, “Hey! Hey! Hey, listen, Mox. Listen, listen. Hey!”
Bryan says he doesn’t know why Regal did that, and it was a bad thing, but they’ve all done bad things! Fans boo because this was really bad. But Bryan asks Moxley to please not go after Regal. Regal has a bad neck and two bleeds on his brain, Moxley can’t hurt Regal. Moxley stands down, but he is pacing with the bottled up anger. Fans still want Moxley to hit someone. Bryan SLAPS Moxley, and then he apologizes! Bryan then gets on his knees to BEG Moxley to listen! Bryan knows the fans are booing but the struggles that Moxley has dealt with, Bryan’s dad struggled with those same things. This is more than just wrestling.
Bryan says when his dad had those struggles, Bryan didn’t understand. There was only one person who could teach him how and that was Regal. Bryan wants Moxley to tune the fans out and listen to just him. Because of Regal, Bryan could understand his father’s struggles. And for the last ten years of his life before he passed, Bryan was there to love his father, because of Regal! Now just imagine, please, just try to imagine someone teaching Moxley’s daughter to love him in spite of his struggles. Fans call BS but Bryan asks Moxley to spare Regal for Bryan’s sake. Bryan loves Regal. Fans boo that, too.
Moxley sighs and leans against the ropes. Fans keep telling Moxley to go after Regal and Moxley can’t tune them out. Moxley glares at Regal but he looks at Bryan. He takes the mic, Bryan steps aside, and Moxley steps right up to Regal as he says, “Your Lordship… I only want one thing from you. I want you to run. Run far away, as far away as you can, and you never, EVER come back. Right now. Walk. And keep on walking.” Moxley drops the mic, that is his one and only warning. Regal steps out of the ring and fans tell him to GTFO. Regal leaves, being spared from the Maniac’s rage. Fans sing “NANA NA NA, HEY HEY HEY, good bye~!”
Moxley is still rather red, but this was the best he could do to show mercy to Regal. As for MJF, will Moxley hunt him down the moment he’s in an arena?
Backstage interview with Keith Lee.
Renee Paquette tells him the cameras are live, and says we all saw what happened at Full Gear. Where is Keith’s head at after this all came to a head? Keith sighs, but then Swerve steps in. Renee lets them talk in private, and Keith tells Swerve to choose his words wisely. Swerve takes off his sunglasses, Keith takes off his jacket. Swerve looks to the camera, and covers it up. “Let’s talk.” “Without that, huh? Okay.” Is the team formerly known as Swerve In Our Glory still a team at all? Or will they come to an understanding off camera?
AEW All-Atlantic Championship: Orange Cassidy w/ Best Friends VS Jake Hager w/ The Jericho Appreciation Society!
Freshly Squeezed is coming off a big Ten Man Tag win with his Best Friends, but now he’s back to being a fighting champion. Will Cassidy be able to hold onto the title? Or will Rock Hard Hager make everyone APPRECIATE him?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if, uh… Whatever.
The bell rings, Cassidy steps to Hager, takes off the sunglasses and gives them to the ref. But Hager takes the glasses to put them on! They do go well with the bucket hat.

But Hager swings, only for Cassidy to dodge and SHOTGUN! And kip up! But Hager CLOBBERS Cassidy! Hager talks trash as Cassidy flounders to the corner.

Angelo Parker runs in, OLE as Cassidy baits him with the hat. Matthew Menard runs in, OLE again! Cassidy goes to put the hat but Daniel Garcia snatches it away! Fans boo and Cassidy frowns. Rocky Romero trips Garcia up! And Cassidy has the hat! He ROCKS Hager, DIVES, but Hager catches him! Hager POSTS Cassidy, to then FLAPJACK him on the apron! Parker puts the hat back on Hager! Hager says don’t touch his hat, and AEW goes picture in picture.

Cassidy endures as Hager carries him around, and then Hager RAMS Cassidy into buckles! Cassidy throws elbows but Hager holds on. Cassidy grabs the hat! Hager thrashes Cassidy around for that! Cassidy drops the hat so Hager drops Cassidy. Hager puts the hat back on, then stalks Cassidy to a corner. Hager digs his knee in, the ref counts, so Hager switches to a boot. The ref still counts, Hager lets off, and both Menard and Parker talk trash at Cassidy.
Best Friends run Parker & Menard off, but Hager drags Cassidy up to put him through ropes. ROPE GUILLOTINE! Hager drags Cassidy away to a cover, TWO! Hager keeps cool and sits Cassidy up for a motorcycle stretch. Cassidy endures, fights up, and goes to put his hands in his pockets! Hager stops him, Cassidy keeps trying! They fight for control, but Hager lets Cassidy go to throw him down by his hair! The ref reprimands but Hager soaks up the heat. Hager kneels on Cassidy as Dynamite returns to single picture. Cassidy keeps his shoulders up so Hager kicks him around. Hager then whips Cassidy up and out, only for Cassidy to skin the cat!
Hager CLUBS Cassidy’s hand, KICKS the other, then ROCKS Cassidy! But Cassidy trust falls with Best Friends! They catch him and help him down. Hager runs in and BLASTS Best Friends! But Cassidy DIVES!

Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (still AEW All-Atlantic Champion)
Hager’s obsession with his hat costs him, and the champion is still Freshly Squeezed! And of course, Best Friends GROUP- NO, The Factory’s music cuts off the hug! QT Marshall says after Full Gear, there’s a lot of unfinished business. It seems Cassidy has no problem giving out title shots one after another, so… Wait, QT’s mic dies on him. QT still rants as he storms up to the ring, but then the lights turn off! Eerie music plays, and when the lights come back up… JULIA HART is on stage! And she calls forth THE HOUSE OF BLACK!! They’re IN THE RING!! They attack Best Friends!!
The Factory are in shock, but they stay back as Buddy Matthews, Brody King & Malakai Black kick out Best Friends! Fans fire up and The Factory applauds, too. But then the House of Black goes after The Factory! Malakai BOOTS QT, Buddy & Brody BLAST Karter and Johnson! Comoroto gets in but Brody CLOBBERS him! The destruction continues on the outside as the House of Black goes after anyone and everyone they can get their hands on! Referees and presumably the AEW Dark card rush out, but they all get destroyed, too! Malakai tosses one pour soul OFF the ramp! Julia smiles and fans fire up as the House of Black stands tall.
But they’re not done, either! Buddy brings a security guard over, and with Brody, they get him up for the DANTE’S INFERNO on the stage!! Malakai gets a mic and says, “Members of the House of Black… Please rise.” Fans cheer this devastating return, who will the House of Black tear down next?
AEW share “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry’s thoughts from after his Steel Cage Match.
“That was my best friend in the entire world, and at the same time, he’s hurt me worse than almost anybody that I’ve ever met. But at the same time, it was also cathartic to be out there, because all that pain and resentment, it came out. As much as he’s put me through, and as much as I resented him and wanted to kill him, I felt in a way, that we again shared a moment that neither of us will ever forget, and I’m glad that I got to share it with him. And I’m glad I won. I kicked your ass.”
AEW World Title Eliminator Finals: Ethan Page w/ Stokely Hathaway VS Ricky Starks!
The tournament was meant to end at Full Gear, but things happen, and Absolute Ricky Starks couldn’t wrap things up until last Saturday. But now, he and All Ego battle for the chance at the AEW World Championship! Who will MJF be facing when Winter is Coming?
But as the introductions are being made, Stokely has the music stop. “Give it up for the future number one contender for the AEW World Championship, All Ego, Ethaaaaaaaan… PAAAAGE!” Fans boo and Ethan asks, “Oh, you guys don’t like that? You guys think Ricky Starks is gonna win tonight? Well, listen up! When Ricky Starks is in the middle of this ring crying after I beat his ass, all you Chicago babies can join in and cry like the losers you all are!” Fans boo, but then Starks makes his entrance! Fans cheer, but with as much tape as is on Starks, maybe Ethan has a point. The bell rings, fans rally for Ricky as he circles with Ethan.

That was absolutely a gutsy performance! And now, in three weeks, Starks gets his shot at the champion, Maxwell Jacob Friedman! Will Starks make MJF look like a transitional champion? Or will MJF be better than Starks, and you know it?
Wardlow speaks.
“Waking up Sunday morning, the reality that I was no longer TNT Champion settled in. I was very angry. And I went back to see what exactly happened, because last thing I knew, I was powerbombing Hobbs multiple times, doing what I always do, finishing the symphony and win. Watched the video back, and I see now that it got interrupted by a belt shot to the back of my head. Samoa Joe, you are not the most dangerous man in the room. You are not the TNT Champion, I am. And this is Wardlow’s World.” Will Wardlow hunt down #TwoBeltsJoe and take his belt back?
AEW shares video of the “encounter” between Jade Cargill and Bow Wow.
The UNDEFEATED TBS Champion and her Baddies were celebrating her 42nd win and her regaining physical possession of the belt. However, them ushering people out of the way at the Millennium Tour red carpet got Bow Wow’s attention. Bow Wow had his security usher them out, which got Jade all heated.
Backstage interview with Jade Cargill & The Baddies.
Renee is with Jade, Kiera Hogan, Leila Grey, and the returning Red Velvet, and asks them all about what exactly happened with Jade and Bow Wow. No comment. No more clout for that “whack ass rapper.” But Jade is happy to finally have the belt back, with no help at all… Kiera and Leila look to the side while Velvet shrugs. But more importantly, Velvet IS back! And to celebrate, it’ll be a Baddie-bration next week in Indianapolis. Wait, why not tonight? Because been here, done that, whack town, moving on. As for Jade’s legal matters, Mark Sterling is back on retainer.
Smart Mark steps in and says, “As far as the Bow Wow situation is concerned, Jade Cargill’s official statement is, ‘No comment.'” Velvet likes that. Now, time to plan the party. They need balloons, champagne, cake, all green! The Baddies head out but Jade has Kiera stay back. Sterling has a document for her to sign? Kiera is agreeing to the assessment that she did not live up to her end of the deal, and as far as anyone is concerned, Kiera is NOT a Baddie. What?! Kiera gets kicked out just as Velvet comes back to the fold! What is Kiera to do now that she’s been kicked to the curb?
AEW World Trios Championships Best of Seven, Match 2: Death Triangle VS The Elite!
If you’re wondering when the first of this series started, it was at Full Gear. Rey Fenix gave in to the dastardly ways of The Bastard and used the bell hammer against Kenny Omega to secure the win, but that doesn’t sit well with Tony Khan. Will The Cleaner & Young Bucks correct another wrong done to them? Or will Fenix, Penta & Pac go up 2-0 already?
Chicago is chanting for “CM PUNK!” as The Elite make their entrance. Don Callis joins commentary again to put over the God of Wrestling, Kenny Omega. Pac has a face brace given the broken nose he suffered at Full Gear. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it’s time for round two!

Omega says night night, runs, but Fenix SOMERSAULT CUTTERS!
Fenix goes up and up to TORNILLO onto everyone!! Chicago is thunderous, and even sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~!” as Fenix puts Omega back in. Fenix drags Omega up, tags Pac in, snapmare and Penta gets in.

Nick tags in, stomps Pac around, then he taunts Fenix & Penta with Latino Heat. Nick drags Pac up, Omega and Matt put their feet up, and Nick bumps Pac off both boots! Nick SPITS at Fenix! The ref has to keep Fenix back, and Nick drags Pac up. Tag to Matt, Matt fires up and aims, to slingshot and… Fall on his butt. Maybe copying Hangman is harder than he thought. Nick CLUBS Pac down and stomps him! Matt says his ankle gave out! Seems he’s mocking a certain someone with that.
Matt drags Pac up, grins, and bumps Pac off Nick’s and Omega’s boots! Tag to Omega and Omega says they’re going to go another round! They get fans to count along “FOUR!” but Pac throws body shots! Omega CLUBS Pac, whips him in, but Pac reverses! Omega hits the Bucks’ boots! And then the Lucha Brothers CLOBBER the Bucks! Dynamite returns to single picture, Pac crawls to his corner, but Matt trips Penta off the apron! Omega storms up on Pac, drags him up, and Omega wrenches Pac’s arm, to BITE it! The ref counts, Omega lets off and argues with the ref again. Pac goes to ropes, Omega runs over, but Pac sidesteps to SNAP GERMAN!

Fans boo, he better not! GO TO SLEEP!!! Cover, TWO!?!? The Bastard survives and Omega is furious!! Omega tags Matt, Matt drags Pac up and Nick sets up on the apron. But Fenix tightrope walks to KICK Nick!

Winners: Death Triangle, by pinfall (lead the series 2-0)
Fenix and Penta argue about resorting to the hammers all over again, but in the end, they’re up big on The Elite! Will Death Triangle look to finish this off before the New Year? Or will Omega & The Bucks get on the board in Indianapolis?
Renee Paquette is on stage.
“Chicago, what a night we have had so far! Now, I am out here with a massive announcement that pertains to the Women’s Division. Due to the extent of the injuries to the AEW Women’s World Champion, Thunder Rosa, and the uncertainty of when she could return to action, AEW and Thunder Rosa have reached a mutual agreement. AEW management has been forced to ask Thunder Rosa to relinquish the championship. Thunder Rosa was a fighting champion for AEW, she is willing to step aside and forfeit the title to the benefit of AEW, but more importantly, to the benefit of all of the women of AEW.
“Now that being said, please join me in welcoming your NEW AEW Women’s World Champion, Jamie Hayter!” Fans cheer as the interim is no longer interim, and Hayter walks out on stage with Britt and Rebel. This is the Hayter Era and Renee congratulates her. How does she feel? Britt speaks up to say, “Renee, thank you for telling all these people what they already knew, and that is that Jamie Hayter is the undisputed AEW Women’s World Champion! And let me let you in on a little secret, Ne-Ne. We were never even considering the word ‘interim,’ it’s not even in our vocabulary. Now take this mic, step aside, and let the champ walk to the ring.”
Britt follows Hayter, and they’re ready to take on some hungry competition. Will “The Killer & The Pillar” crush the hopes of four contenders all at once? Or will someone snatch a golden ticket off Hayter on the way to the holidays?
Triple Threat Tag: Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter w/ Rebel VS TayJay VS Willow Nightingale & Sky Blue!
AEW returns as the Jericho Appreciation Society’s Brazilian Goddess and Star of the Show make their entrance. In this kind of Triple Threat, only two teams are legal at any time, so Tay steps to the champ! Tay and Hayter tie up, Hayter wrenches and wristlocks.

Backstage interview with FTR and Top Flight.
Renee is with “two of the best tag teams in all of AEW,” and Dante & Darius had something to say. But Dax Harwood speaks up first. He doesn’t throw out compliments a lot, but he must say, Darius had a string of bad luck but he’s always been impressive. And Top Flight with AR Fox almost became World Trios Champions last week. That impressed Dax, too. So what he wants from now on, for the next few decades to come, is Top Flight to take over tag team wrestling. Darius appreciates that, but there’s a reason Top Flight wanted to talk. And speaking of impressed, Top Flight’s been impressed with FTR for years.
Darius says it is a dream match, Top Flight VS FTR. So if they’re all impressed, FTR will put the ROH World Tag Team Championships on the line for Black Friday Rampage. Cash says they have always liked Top Flight, and they don’t say no to a fight. They’re on! They all shake hands, and Dante says, “Top Flight, out.” Dax says that’s clever, but that’s kinda FTR’s thing. Will the ROH World Tag titles still be FTR’s thing after the special afternoon Rampage?
The Acclaimed is here!
Max Caster & Anthony Bowens finally settled things with Swerve & Keith, and they’re still AEW World Tag Team Champions! Caster has a rap ready, “Acclaimed back at it with the story of the year, cuz we broke up Keith & Swerve at Full Gear. New champs, Hayter, MJF, but Acclaimed retained, we’re staying at the apex. You wanna shot, put your name on the ballot, and get your nuts slapped like Lethal & Jarrett! Yo, we cuttin’ all the dead weight. Chicago knows, it’s Acclaimed Every Wednesday!” Bowens says, “CHICAGOOOO~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Cut the music.” The music stops and fans sing, “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy~!”
Bowens says, “Chicago, it’s good to be back! And there’s’ a lot to be thankful for. It’s Thanksgiving Eve! Starting with Max and I retaining the AEW tag team titles, further proving that EVERYONE! LOVES! The Acclaimed! And not only that. My shoulder’s feeling better. But most importantly…” Billy Gunn unwraps the fingers! So of course, “SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS~!” But then Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh interrupt from the tron. Sonjay has them stop right there. Did he just hear their names come outta the Acclaimed’s mouths?! Lethal warns them to keep Jarrett’s name out their freakin’ mouths!
Speaking of, Double J steps into frame to say, “Listen up, Slap Max! And you two, Daddy Ass, and Junior Ass, and all you other AEW ass clowns! You wanna talk smack? Well Max, I’ll give you something to rap about. Acclaimed, you best be watching your backs.” Fans chant, “TNA SUCKS!” and Billy says, “Somebody get that old ass off my screen, would ya?” Fans cheer for that! Billy has pull around here cuz he’s Billy. And now, the moment everyone’s been waiting for… Chicago, SCISSOR TIME!! And the fingers scissor!! The Acclaimed doesn’t sweat Double J and Jay, but will the #LethalOutlaws come for the gold soon enough?
ROH World Championship: Chris Jericho VS Tomohiro Ishii!
The Wizard is still “Ring of Jericho” Champion after Full Gear because, whether he wanted to or not, Sammy Guevara played his part in that Fatal 4 Way. But now, the Stone Pitbull is coming after Le Champion! Will Ishii prove he’s not that Young Lion Jericho remembers? Or will Jericho check another name off the list?
The introductions are made by Bobby Cruise, the belt is raised, and we see if even Ishii must hail #THEOCHO!
The bell rings and Jericho already flips off Chicago. And then he flips off Ishii. Ishii just steps to Jericho, Jericho tells him he’s a BAKA KOUHAI (stupid junior), but then Ishii SLAPS him! Jericho snarls and SLAPS back! Ishii SLAPS, Jericho SLAPS, it’s a SLAP fight! SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP and fans fire up as the shots keep going! Ishii ROCKS Jericho with that last one, then snapmares to KICK him! Jericho winces and rolls out of the ring. Ishii waits on Jericho, and even holds the ropes open for his senpai. Jericho doesn’t accept, he gets in on the other side. Jericho throws forearms but Ishii eggs him on!
Jericho throws forearm after forearm but Ishii doesn’t budge! Then Ishii starts throwing forearms in return! Fans fire up as the forearms go back and forth now! Forearm after forearm after forearm, but then Jericho gets the edge! Jericho runs, into a SAIDO! Ishii runs but Jericho avoids the sliding lariat! But Ishii blocks the Code Breaker! Ishii throws Jericho away, but Jericho ducks Ishii’s enziguri! Fans fire up as the two stand off. Jericho and Ishii check their cheeks, they circle again, and they tie up again. Jericho and Ishii are in a deadlock, Jericho headlocks, but Ishii powers out. They RAM shoulders, and they yell at each other!
Ishii runs, RAMS Jericho, then Jericho runs to RAM Ishii! Ishii rebounds to run Jericho over! Fans fire up and Ishii finally feels those collisions. Jericho goes to a corner, Ishii storms over, but Jericho SLAPS! SLAPS! SLAPS! Ishii just eggs Jericho on, then SLAPS back! And CHOPS! Jericho CHOPS and Ishii winces. Ishii CHOPS and Jericho sputters! Jericho CHOPS, Ishii CHOPS, and Jericho staggers back. Jericho snarls, CHOPS, but Ishii CHOPS back! Jericho CHOPS, Ishii CHOPS, repeat! They CHOP and CHOP and CHOP, then they both wobble as they clutch their stinging chests while AEW goes picture in picture.
Jericho CHOPS again, but Ishii CHOPS again! Jericho roars, CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Ishii CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS in return! Jericho drops to his knees and Ishii finally feels the pain. Ishii taunts Jericho-senpai, and Jericho comes back to CHOP! Ishii CHOPS, the CHOP fight is back on! Jericho’s chest is bleeding from one spot! But Jericho still CHOPS Ishii! Ishii CHOPS back! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Ishii just keeps hitting that bloody spot! But Jericho CHOPS back! Ishii CHOPS again! Ishii eggs Jericho on, then CHOPS again! Jericho CHOPS, Ishii CHOPS, they just keep going!
Ishii CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Jericho wobbles to ropes but Ishii CHOPS him more and more! The ref warns about getting up high, but then Jericho blocks to COHP and CHOP and CHOP in return! Jericho’s arm is tiring out! But he still CHOPS! Ishii CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, repeat! The CHOPS go harder and harder, and Chicago gives this a standing ovation! Jericho CHOPS, Ishii ROARS, Jericho CHOPS! Ishii CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, and they CHOP as Dynamite returns to single picture! Jericho’s chest is so red, and not even from the blood! Fans hope they “CHOP FOREVER!” At this rate, they just might!
The CHOPS just keep going, and Jericho finally gets the edge! But Ishii just roars again! To CHOP Jericho off his feet!! Jericho sits up a bloody mess, Ishii rests against ropes, and fans are loving this. Jericho and Ishii get back up, to CHOP even more!! Ishii CHOPS Jericho to the corner, he keeps giving CHOPS, then he whips corner to corner. Jericho reverses, but Ishii comes back to run him over! Jericho goes to a corner, Ishii runs in and Jericho BOOTS him! Jericho runs to LARIAT Ishii into the corner! Jericho fires off point blank clotheslines over and over! Ishii sits but Jericho keeps after him with stomps!
The ref backs Jericho off, and he drags Ishii back up. Jericho CHOPS Ishii, then climbs up to rain down fists! Jericho goes all the way to nine but Ishii brings him out to POWERBOMB! Stack cover, TWO!! Ishii and Jericho are both down and fans rally up. Ishii rises first, and he waits on Jericho. Ishii runs, LARIATS, but Jericho stays up! Jericho eggs Ishii on, Ishii runs but Jericho BOOTS him! Ishii roars at Jericho, Jericho roars back! They both run, and Jericho CLOBBERS Ishii with the cross chop! Ishii is on the apron, Jericho triangle jumps, into an ELBOW from Ishii! Ishii drags Jericho up, to suplex!
Jericho fights the suplex, is on the apron, and he kicks low to APRON DDT!! Both men are down and fans lose their minds! The ring count starts while both men are down. Ishii stirs at 4 of 10, but Jericho slowly stands at 6. Jericho ROCKS Ishii, Ishii ROCKS him back, and they go forearm for forearm! They hear the count reach 9 and they both slide in! Jericho ROCKS Ishii, Ishii ROCKS Jericho, and the forearms keep going! Ishii falls, Jericho kicks him around! Jericho runs, into a GERMAN SUPLEX! Jericho gets up, he GERMAN SUPLEXES Ishii! But Ishii is up, only to run into another GERMAN SUPLEX!
Ishii is up! But hen he falls back down! Jericho LIONSAULTS! Cover, ONE?!?! Fans are thunderous and Jericho is shocked! Jericho ROCKS Ishii, and hits a CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO!!! Ishii survives and no one can believe it! “This is Awesome!” as Jericho waits on Ishii. Ishii slowly rises, Jericho runs in, but Ishii swats the Judas Effect to HEADBUTT Jericho down! Fans are thunderous as Ishii roars again! Ishii sits Jericho up, runs and SLIDING LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives but Ishii just roars again! Ishii drags Jericho up, but Jericho suplexes! Ishii fights that but Jericho trips him!
Jericho has the legs, he turns but Ishii bridges to throw Jericho! Ishii STEALS THE CODE BREAKER! Fans are thunderous and Ishii runs, to LARIAT!! Cover, TWO!!! Jericho is still in this! Ishii drags Jericho up, suplexes, but Jericho fights! Jericho wrenches, Ishii fires forearms and boxing elbows! ENZI- NO, Jericho blocks the kick! WALLS OF JERICHO!!! Ishii endures as Jericho sits deep! Fans are thunderous as Ishii crawls and claws around, but Jericho drags him away from ropes! Ishii still fights, tucks and rolls but Jericho throws down forearms! Jericho turns Ishii around again, LION TAMER!!! Ishii endures, but he FLIPS JERICHO OFF! Then he taps! Jericho wins!!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by submission (still ROH World Champion)
The Ocho did it without cheating! Jericho may not realize it, but he might be just as much a pro-wrestler as anyone! But he still wants after Ian Riccaboni!? Instead, CLAUDIO comes out to DECK Jericho! The Swiss Superman sends a message to Le Champion, we will see these two fight at Final Battle?
My Thoughts:
What a great post-PPV episode for AEW. When MJF wasn’t advertised for showing up tonight, I just knew he was doubling down on being a Heel by acting high and mighty now that he’s world champion. But we got a great segment from Regal, Bryan and Moxley. Moxley is understandably PISSED, and Bryan defending Regal was also great stuff. This isn’t necessarily Blackpool Combat Club breaking up so much as Regal defecting to MJF’s side, but this is just one more nail in the coffin. And they even kept “MJF never really fired The Firm” alive, since Starks won the Eliminator Tournament in a great match with Ethan Page. MJF VS Starks is going to be great stuff, and this whole MJF era is going to be a lot of fun.
I actually liked that Keith and Swerve didn’t argue or fight on camera, because this is a very creative take on a tag team breaking up. I feel like them reuniting as a team isn’t likely, but even if they do, it is only inevitable that they finally come to blows and have their own singles feud. Great stuff from Cassidy VS Hager, especially with all the antics surrounding the purple bucket hat. Cassidy retains, of course, but I like that the House of Black used this opportunity to return and just beat the crap out of everyone. I am thinking Malakai gets in on the All-Atlantic title, and we could see Buddy & Brody go for the tag titles.
Wardlow of course wants the TNT title, and I’m thinking they set up a match for Winter is Coming. Joe can go to Final Battle as a double champion, probably stay double champion, and then we’ll see if Wardlow can take the TNT title off Joe. Good promo from The Baddies but a shame that Kiera was the most loyal Baddie yet she’s the one getting kicked out. Maybe Kiera teams up with Diamante and they go after Jade together. It’s also great that the “interim” is gone, Hayter is THE champion (and apparently Toni Storm will be retroactively). Now all we need is her to break away from Britt. We did get a great Triple Threat Tag with Hayter and Britt winning, and I wonder if Britt ends up the #1 contender, compelling her and Hayter to have a match. After all, wins and losses matter.
Though, that doesn’t explain Lethal & Jarrett calling out The Acclaimed like they’re up next or something. Jarrett & Lethal lost to Sting & Darby, it should be Sting & Darby up next, except that not even AEW does Faces VS Faces or Heels VS Heels. Top Flight VS FTR is going to be awesome, but I think FTR wins, and then they can set up something for Final Battle. Still expecting it to be Austin & Colten Gunn, they have been getting at FTR so much that it just makes sense.
That Trios Championship Best of Seven match was awesome stuff, but also what a wild moment because fans were loud for both sides of the CM Punk argument. Most of Chicago was pro-Punk but there was still a vocal minority saying “F CM Punk.” The Elite added on by trolling Punk with mocking how Punk hurt himself doing the Buckshot and what not. To my surprise, The Elite didn’t win this one, either! And it was because Penta used a hammer! It seems all of Death Triangle is going to have to come to terms with Heel tactics if the team is to stick together. As for The Elite, they may have to keep an eye on those hammers. I’m thinking The Elite make a comeback no later than Winter is Coming. And I would think this goes all the way to the seventh match, that’s how epic these two teams are.
And that was an awesome main event! Jericho, for all his character’s talk of sports entertainment being superior, reminded everyone that he is an icon for a reason. He and Ishii really brought the Strong Style, but I had a feeling Jericho was going to retain. And Claudio clobbering Jericho as he was calling out Riccaboni was good stuff. Clearly, Claudio VS Jericho is happening at Final Battle, and that could be an epic match on the level of this main event. I honestly can’t be sure who else AEW can bring in for Jericho to face, but I can’t see Jericho losing the title just yet. Maybe the Jericho Appreciation Society will bring out a list of former ROH champions to face.
My Score: 9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the AEW Champion of the World, M J F!” Orlando is a bit torn seeing The Scumbag make his way out to the ring. MJF gets his pyro rain and flicks his gum as he struts down the ramp, “Triple B” around his waist and his Dynamite Diamond Ring on his finger. He stands with Schiavone, and Schiavone says last week, MJF successfully defended the AEW World Championship against Bandido. MJF tells Schiavone to shut his “fat triple chin,” it is bad enough he has to look at the dumb shmucks in the crowd tonight. MJF hopes Schiavone can keep his geriatric hand up so the mic is at MJF’s mouth, okay?
The fans boo but MJF says, “Ladies and gentlemen, and I do use that term very loosely around these parts… You are looking at a man who wears beautiful watches, a man who wears custom suits, a man who wears diamond rings, Burberry shoes, Burberry scarves. I ride in helicopters, private jets, and limousines, and I’ve got the baddest girl you’ve ever seen. And do you know why, folks? it’s because I’m the best wrestler on God’s green earth. And if you don’t believe me, ladies and gentlemen, here is the proof: THE prize that every wrestler in this sport wishes they could obtain, Pretty Platinum, Triple B, the AEW World Championship.”
The fans are torn again, but MJF says, “Real gold, real diamonds, real platinum. This belt costs more than all of you miserable losers could possibly dream of having in your bank accounts. So if you ever see some shmuck on your TV screen in my sport claiming that they’re the best of the best and their name ain’t MJF, grab the remote and change the channel, cuz the only thing coming outta their mouth is the same thing coming outta their ass! I AM the World’s Champion! I hold the grandest prize of ’em all. I am professional wrestling, baby.
“And last week, Bandido was the first of many in a long line of losers to find out the hard way that 2026 is the Year of the Devil, and ain’t nobody on my level.” The fans boo as MJF holds up the belt with both hands to show it off, only for BRODY KING to appear! The fans cheer as the King of Death walks right down the ramp and to the ring, which has MJF very worried. Brody steps right to MJF, and Schiavone lets MJF have the mic for this. Brody gets his own mic while the fans cheer him on. MJF is a bit squirrely as Brody tells him he’ll be honest. After what MJF did to Bandido last week, the only thing Brody can think of is all the ways he wants to hurt MJF.
There is nothing that would bring Brody more joy than putting his fist through MJF’s chest and ripping out his spine! But, Brody won’t do that. MJF sighs in relief, but Brody says we all know MJF has no spine, he’s just a b*tch. The fans chant, “JUST A B*TCH!” Brody knows if he put his hands on MJF, he’ll never get what he wants. And what Brody wants is a match, so he can choke the life outta MJF, drop him on his head, and take the world championship, right here, right now, TONIGHT! Brody barks, the fans bark with him, and that’s quite the challenge! MJF says okay, he’ll just be over here if that’s cool.
MJF goes to a corner and says that is an interesting proposition. First of all, to think this over, if MJF could have complete silence from the morons for just a minute, that’d be great. The fans boo instead, but MJF says upon reflection, he thought long and hard and has to say no. And he’ll make it clear: It is not because MJF is afraid, that’s ridiculous! No, no, no. MJF gets it: Brody comes out here, barks, the morons bark back. The barking makes sense, because when MJF thinks about Brody King, the phrase that comes to mind is, “All bark, no bite.” Brody comes out here and challenges the world champion to a title match? “On what grounds, my big, burly friend?”
Who has Brody beaten? Oh, right, tomato cans, jabronies, and jobbers. If Brody wants the world champion, the greatest wrestler on earth, Brody has to beat elite talent. Until then, this match is not going to happen. The fans boo, but MJF says he wants to make one more thing clear: If Brody ever interrupts MJF ever again, they’ll have a prob- Brody steps up and MJF steps back. MJF says he has a lot on his plate, a busy schedule, a lot of competition to consider, so- Brody barks at MJF and MJF skitters to the apron. MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF’s outta here! The Scumbag is a rat, but he’s also a chicken. Will Brody take a bite out of AEW if it means he gets his hands on MJF?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page & #JetSpeed.
Renee Paquette is with the NEW AEW World Trios Champions, and says what a week they have had. The Cowboy promised to take everything from Samoa Joe, and now he, Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey are champions. In moments, we see Bailey VS Samoa Joe 1v1 while Knight faces Swerve Strickland. They are wasting no time tonight. Hangman says tonight is a night for celebration. If they’re the trios champions now, they should decide on a trios name. Knight says he’s been thinking on that. He came up with #JetSetRodeo. Bailey says “Horse C-” WHOA! Um, Hangman suggested something like that before, not gonna work.
But Knight & Bailey are in big matches tonight against former world champions. This Saturday on Collision, Hangman has his own against Katsuyori Shibata. Whoa, for real? Yeah, he just made it now. Bailey says he’s got Joe, and he knows Knight has a huge challenge ahead of him with Swerve. Bailey wants Knight to fully focus on that while Bailey does what he does best. Knight says will do. Hangman says he doesn’t have to say this, because they’ve been around the world several times, but Bailey’s never faced Joe 1v1. Joe is tough, sturdy, robust, and hits hard. But Bailey is fast, flexible, and if he can outlast Joe, he will beat Joe.
The team fist bumps and Bailey heads out. Knight asks Hangman for advice on how to face Swerve. Hangman takes a moment, and says that’ll be one hell of a main event. The Cowboy heads out, will The Jet be able to fly high over Swerve’s House? Or will he be brought down by the Most Dangerous Man in AEW?
Samoa Joe VS “Speedball” Mike Bailey!
As Hangman just said, the Samoan Submission Specialist is strong, sturdy, and sadistic, but Speedball is, well, fast and agile. Which style wins out to kick off Dynamite in Orlando?
The bell rings and the fans rally up for Speedball already. Joe bails out and the fans boo, but Bailey tells Joe to get in the ring. Joe brushes that off, and he soaks up some heat from Orlando as he walks around the way. Joe then steps back in the ring and circles with Bailey. They tie up, Joe powers Bailey to a corner, but the ref counts. Joe smothers Bailey before he JABS! And JABS! Joe HEADBUTTS Bailey to sit him down, then HEADBUTTS again! The ref reprimands, the fans rally, but Joe drags Bailey up to ROCK him with a forearm. Bailey fires back, but Joe HEADBUTTS Bailey down again. Joe whips, Bailey reverses, but Joe blocks!
Joe whips through but Bailey BOOTS Joe! Joe snarl while Bailey runs, and Bailey BOOTS Joe again! Bailey runs, Joe blocks this time, but Bailey wrenches through to KICK Joe’s leg! And KICK, and KICK! Then KICK Joe in the chest! Joe swings, Bailey dodges, and Bailey DROPKICKS! Joe tumbles out of the ring while the fans fire up. Bailey runs, but Joe blocks the baseball slide to drag Bailey out! Joe CHOPS Bailey down and the fans are losing their minds! Bailey coughs and sputters while Joe talks trash. Joe stands Bailey up, SMACKS him off a chair, then gets space. Bailey sits up, Joe runs back in, but Bailey DROPKICKS Joe down!
The fans fire up as Bailey goes into the ring and builds speed! Bailey baseball slides this time, then he ASAI MOONSAULTS! Down goes Joe and the fans fire up again! Bailey is feeling that energy, and he shoves Joe into the ring, but wait! Here come Hook & Shibata! The fans boo The Opps but the ref tells them to stay back. Bailey goes into the ring, Joe ELBOWS him away! Then BOOTS him outta the ring! And then Joe distracts the ref so Shibata & Hook can mug Bailey! They RAM Bailey into the apron, stomp him around, then put Bailey in the ring. The fans boo and protest the ref not doing his job, but Joe stomps Bailey while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Joe drags Bailey up, snapmares, and CHOPS him on the back! Then Joe KICKS Bailey in the chest! Joe runs to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Bailey toughs it out but Joe stays focused. Joe drags Bailey up, but Bailey fires body shots! Joe POSTS Bailey and lets him fall out of the ring. Again, Joe distracts so The Opps can mug Bailey! Shibata even kicks Bailey into the ring! Shibata & Hook play innocent while Joe looms over Bailey. Joe stomps Bailey, Mongolian Chops him, then Mongolian Chops again! Joe clamps on a shoulder claw and he grinds Bailey down. Bailey endures, fights to his feet, and breaks free to ELBOW Joe!
Bailey runs, but Joe ELBOWS Bailey down! Joe is all fired up while he soaks up heat. Joe covers, TWO!! Bailey survives and Joe is annoyed. Joe clamps onto Bailey with a chinlock, and even digs his knee into Bailey’s back. Bailey endures again, pries at the hold, and fights up to fire body shots. Joe CLAWS Bailey’s face! The ref reprimands, Bailey backs away to a corner, but Joe storms over to stand Bailey up. Joe CHOPS and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally for Bailey and he CHOPS! Joe CHOPS again! Joe whips Bailey corner to corner, then runs up, but Bailey BOOTS Joe! Bailey goes out, GAMANGIRIS, then goes up!
Bailey leaps to MISSILE DROPKICK Joe down! The fans fire up while Bailey rises again! Hook & Shibata are annoyed as Bailey aims, SOBAT! AX KICK! And KICK! Joe sits down, Bailey winds up, STANDING SHOOTING FLOP as Joe moves! Joe runs, SENTON FLOP as Bailey moves! Then basement SUPERKICK! Bailey goes up, aims again, SHOOTING STAR PRESS! Cover, TWO! Joe survives and the fans can’t believe it! Bailey is also surprised, but he sees Joe going to the ring. Bailey KICKS Joe’s leg, then goes out to the apron to join him. Joe CHOPS, then HEADBUTTS, then he reels Bailey in.
Joe back suplexes, but Bailey lands inside the ring! Bailey SWEEPS the legs! Bailey goes back out, and lines it up, MOONSAULT KNEE DROP only gets apron! Joe then distracts the ref so Shibata can APRON SNAP SUPLEX! Then just like Saturday, they slide off the apron so Shibata can snap suplex to the floor! And then a SHIN BREAKER! Shibata puts Bailey in, the ref misses it all, and the fans boo. Joe stomps Bailey, stomps him again, then mocks the clapping. The fans still rally for Bailey, even as Joe stomps Bailey more. Joe stands Bailey up, ROCKS him, but Bailey fires back! And CHOPS! And CHOPS!
Joe lifts Bailey to tie up the legs! DOUBLE KNEE BREAKER! Bailey writhes and Joe grins while the fans boo. Joe grabs a leg for a HEEL HOOK! The fans rally as Bailey endures, and Bailey fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! Joe lets go in annoyance, and he talks trash on Bailey. Joe JABS Bailey, then stalks him to the ropes. Joe KICKS Bailey’s leg, eggs him on, and Bailey stands. Joe KICKS again and Bailey drops to his knees. The fans rally for, uh, horse… Anyway, Joe kicks, but Bailey blocks, only for Joe to roll into the KNEEBAR HEEL HOOK COMBO!! Bailey flails, reaches out, and has the ROPEBREAK!
The fans cheer while Joe lets go, but Joe still has Bailey where he wants him. Bailey rises, but Joe KICKS the leg out! Joe grins as he toys with Bailey, and Bailey stands, into another KICK! Bailey flips head over heels, and Joe winds up again. Bailey stands, but he avoids the sweep this time! The fans cheer the crane stance! Joe says yeah right. CRANE KCIK! And PENALTY KICK! And MOONSAULT KNEE-DROP! The fans fire up as Bailey then BUZZSAWS! Cover, TWO!! Joe survives and Bailey is stunned, but the fans continue to rally up. Bailey slowly rises, as does Joe, and Bailey powers up! Bailey spins for the TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey shoves Joe down, goes up the corner, but Hook distracts! Bailey leaps, but Joe moves! Bailey hobbles, Hook grabs him, but Bailey ELBOWS Hook down! Joe runs up, Bailey dodges! Roll up, but Shibata tries to distract the ref! Cover, TWO!! Joe ducks a roundhouse, COQUINA CLUTCH! But Bailey kicks off the corner! Roll up and cover, TWO!! Joe lets Bailey go, but a HEEL KICK hits!! Bailey hurries up top, but Hook distracts the ref so Shibata can anchor Bailey! Joe ROCKS Bailey, tucks him in, MUSCLE BUSTER!! Cover, Joe wins!
Winner: Samoa Joe, by pinfall
You might as well put this as a 3v1 Handicap win for The Opps, but the fans aren’t the only ones upset by this. MJF is watching backstage, he knows Joe is also in the title chase. Will MJF have to face Joe again in the future? Or will someone else catch MJF first?
Six Man Street Fight: Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta VS Hechicero, Lance Archer & Rocky Romero!
The Maniac’s past is coming back to haunt him, as the scar left on Don Callis is the whole reason Don’s “family” wants to end the Death Riders! Will Red Dead & The Decoder help Moxley show us what a real family looks like? Or will the Alchemist, Murderhawk Monster & Azucar remind us that #EverybodyDies?
Don Callis of course joins commentary, claiming Moxley is a sociopath, and in a world without pro-wrestling, Moxley would be living behind a fence, if you catch his meaning. Archer, Hechi & Rocky are armed as they head to the ring, but The Death Riders don’t even wait for the introductions before they go after the DCF! The fans fire up as the brawl is on at ringside! Moxley is after Archer, Garcia has Rocky and Yuta has Hechi! Garcia fires knees into Rocky but Hechi CLUBS Yuta down. Moxley sends Archer into railing and practically dumps him into the front row! Hechi swings the trash can lid but Yuta dodges!
Yuta DECKS Hechi, rains down fists, and Garcia sends Rocky into railing! Moxley and Archer have ended up in the crowd as they brawl! Yuta DECKS Hechi, Moxley and Archer are already in the upper deck, and Moxley throws hands on Archer! Yuta kicks Rocky around, Moxley ROCKS Archer, and Garcia puts a trash can around Hechi’s leg. Garcia STOMPS the can to crush Hechi’s leg inside it! Hechi writhes, Garcia STOMPS the leg again, and Yuta stalks Rocky around the way with that trash can lid. Archer turns things around on Moxley and SMACKS him off railing! Garcia STOMPS Hechi’s leg again! Archer CLOBBERS Moxley with a trash can of his own!
Yuta keeps after Rocky in some other part of the crowd, and Garcia puts Hechi in an ANKLE LOCK! Hechi TAPS, but it only counts if it’s in the ring! Archer DUMPS Moxley over railing, Yuta chases Rocky back to ringside, and Archer AX HANDLES Moxley! Hechi rolls to kick at Garcia, Rocky hits Yuta back, and Moxley CHUCKS a chair at Archer! Rocky JAMS Garcia, SMACKS him, but Yuta sends Rocky into railing! Moxley rains down fists on Archer, the fans count along, and Moxley goes past TEN to about EIGHTEEN! Then Moxley & Garcia send Yuta in for an ELBOW! Garcia LARIATS! Moxley LARIATS! And repeat!

But when Thekla pins Kris once, Kris gets all angry and asks what Thekla wants to do about it. Well, Thekla wants to give Kris one more week to enjoy her life. One more week to prepare her friends and family, and one more week to pretend Thekla is intimidated by her alien a-hole routine. Then, next Wednesday in Austin, Thekal gets her title match. Is that okay, Big Stat Daddy? Then Skye Blue says the Triangle has room for more. Julia Hart tells Willow Nightingale that she is TBS Champion, but they never had their rematch.

Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron speak.
The Cosmic Babes of Wrath are backstage, and Kris doesn’t think Thekla gets it. Underneath this title is a lot less cosmic and a lot more killer. Her body is built for performance, her heart is built to fight, and her mind can get sicker than even Thekla can dream of. So if Thekla wants to drown Kris in toxicity, she’ll take Thekla down with her. But on Collision, if anyone wants an Eliminator, Kris will gladly show you what she means. Harley likes the sound of that! Willow says that for her, this TBS Championship has been about silencing doubt. Mercedes Mone knows that, and Julia Hart, Willow’s been waiting almost two YEARS to get in that ring, look you in the eyes, and do it again.
So Saturday, if Julia wants her rematch, Willow can’t wait to powerbomb her in the middle of that ring and show you why the light always exposes the dark, especially in the Sunshine State. Harley says she is so here for it! And she will also be there for it! And, well, she didn’t think on what else she was gonna say, but Skye Blue, don’t think they forgot about you and your little spooky self. If Skye interferes in any way, Harley will punch her right in the face! Who are they? BABES! What do they have? WRATH! And they have every title that you want. So let’s go have some fun. Talk about a Collision! Who survives when there’s gold, and a grudge, on the line?

The fans fire up again and Swerve puts Knight in the ring. “This is Awesome!” as Swerve drags Knight out of the ring, and they go up onto the barriers! The fans are freaking out already for the STUFF PILEDRIVER on the barriers!! The fans go nuts again as they cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Swerve rolls into the ring to let the count handle this.
Knight sputters as the count is 5 of 10, but he still isn’t up. Knight rises at 7, stands at 8, and he hobbles his way over. Knight falls, but he leaps back in at 9.9! Swerve applauds with the fans, and then goes up top! 450 SPLASH!! Then the dragon sleeper!! Knight endures, fades, but gets a second wind! Knight fights up, fires some knees, but Swerve puts him in the corner. Swerve puts Knight up top, climbs up after him, and has him on the very top! The fans fire up as Knight fights back! Knight hops down, fans still chant “Please Be Careful!” as Swerve adjusts. Knight ROCKS Swerve, then goes up, to the UPPER ROOM!!
The fans are going nuts again as Knight hurries to another corner! He aims at Swerve, to go COAST2COAST!! Then Knight goes back up, for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Swerve survives by a literal foot and Knight cannot believe it! The fans are thunderous as this continues! “This is Awesome!” as Knight aims from a corner. Time to fly! HOUSE CALL!?! The fans go nuts as Knight then fireman’s carries, but Swerve fires a flurry! Knight still powers up to GUT- NO, Swerve lands out to SOBAT, HAYMAKER, and- ROLLING ELBOW from Knight! BOOT from Swerve! Knight and Swerve DOUBLE BOOT!
Then they both run, duck ‘n’ dodge, and LEAPING- HOUSE CALL!!! Swerve elevates, and he brings Knight up for a reverse Gory Especial!? VERTEBREAKER!! And that’s not all, half nelson for the BIG PRESSURE!! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
MJF is not pleased! Swerve and Knight made some magic here in Orlando, and while the former AEW World Champion proved he’s still in the picture, The Jet proved he’s not that far behind. Will The Scumbag have to worry about both of them as he looks to set a new record with this reign? Or will someone beat them to the punch?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here to follow Maximum Carnage and bridge the gap to what is shaping up to be a huge episode next week, too. Very good opening promo from MJF with Brody King to not only tease that possible title match, but to also establish MJF as a bit of a throughline given his other archenemies were in action tonight. Great promo from Hangman & JetSpeed, and of the suggested names, Jet Set Rodeo is great, especially since it references Jet Set Radio, and is just not Horse C*ck. It’s a silly gag but no, we need a name we can say in public. But also, a great character detail as Hangman gives Bailey tips on Samoa Joe, but Hangman holds back with Swerve. Hangman is trying to be cool with Swerve, so he doesn’t wanna sell Swerve out, but he hates Joe so he doesn’t give a damn.
Joe VS Bailey was great, even with the overbooking from the remaining Opps. That overbooking helped protect Bailey in his loss but still gave Joe the win he needed to stay in the title chase. Omega VS Alexander was great stuff, and Callis continues to be a hilarious Heel for how quickly he runs away from Omega. Great win for Omega, too, and he kinda left things open ended. Either there’s gonna be Omega VS Andrade, or Omega gives us dream matches with others as part of him building his record towards a title match. Though, Omega VS Andrade can oddly still happen as part of that, as Andrade is already building momentum for himself via Collision.
The Don Callis Family probably needs to focus on the Death Riders anyway. That Six Man Street Fight was awesome, mostly because it did not stay to just 3v3, as I knew it would (wouldn’t?). But how awesome that it also got fans to accept all of the Death Riders, not just Moxley, as a Face. Though, to be fair, this was the age old tactic of turning Heels into Faces by pitting them against even more hated Heels. Great win for Death Riders here, and Moxley was perhaps calling out Okada through that parting message. Okada lost to Moxley in the C2 finals, he surely will want that Continental Championship back, and Moxley is likely glad to give Okada a rematch where both men are 100%.
Awesome first showing from Price & Oliver against FTR, but it was really funny for Stokely to be clearly showing off how he’s spending that money people are kayfabe donating to him. That wheelchair was all tricked out, and commentary even mentioned new shoes. FTR wins, of course, and they’re going to have an awesome match with Davis & Doyle next week. I did not think they’d do the match so soon, but maybe they want things to be a big surprise when D&D win. But like, what’re the odds they win on TV? There’s also the TNT Championship match, and as I said last week, Clon’s win streak ending so early would be a little disappointing.
Great tag match from Love Bombs VS Megan & Penelope, but I had a feeling Marina would interfere to help Megan & Penelope win. Marina is only Tweener right now given this story, and maybe Love Bombs recruit a third for a Six Woman Tag to finally settle things. Great promos from Triangle of Madness and Cosmic Babes of Wrath. Kris’s open challenge will be a great match but an obvious win for Kris, while Willow VS Julia could go either way. The Triangle could cheat things so that Julia takes that title, but that feels like a shame for Willow’s second reign. But I mean, something’s gotta give when it comes to Willow’s double championship reign, so maybe the TBS title is the one that can be hot potato’d around.
And awesome main event from Swerve VS Knight. That was an instant classic, and Knight really did prove himself here. That was practically a title match in itself, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Knight goes for Okada’s International Championship given the win in the C2. But for now, Swerve still wins out because he also needs that momentum towards the world title. MJF already feels the walls closing in, maybe AEW puts together a big contender’s tournament at some point. Grand Slam: Australia is a good spot for at least crowning a contender, then that guy and MJF build towards Revolution.
My Score: 9.1/10
