PLAY BY PLAY
Jon Moxley is here!
The Maniac came dangerously close to annihilating Lord William Regal last week given how angry he was over the Full Gear screwjob. And that anger hasn’t exactly lessened since. But as fans chant for him, he’s here tonight to say, “I grew up about 90 miles from here. When I first started, I used to wrestle here in Indianapolis all the time, down in the old Fountain Square at the Salvation Army Gym.” Fans cheer for that shoutout. “That was a long time ago. This has been a crazy ass ride. You never know what’s around the corner. But there are three constants in this world, three certainties: death; taxes; and Jon Moxley.” Fans also cheer that!
Moxley says “There is nobody that can outwork me, out hustle me, out wrestle me, out fight me, out bleed me or out sweat me! Today, nothing’s really changed. Nothing’s really changed since day one in AEW. I am at THE top of the food chain! I do what I want and I say what I want. This AEW ring belongs to me! And you can bet your ass there is not a man in that locker room, there isn’t a man in this building, there isn’t a man within 100 miles that has the balls to come out here, look me in the eyes and tell me any different.” But here comes HANGMAN! Adam Page is back and Indianapolis can’t believe it!
Hangman storms down to the ring, not yet cleared to compete but clearly not caring! And he gets right in the face with the man who concussed him in Moxley! Fans are ready for “COWBOY SH*T!” but Moxley smirks. “You sure you wanna do this, man, after what happened last time? Oh, I’m sorry. Do you not remember last time?” Hangman DECKS Moxley, proving he does! Hangman keeps after Moxley as they go outside the ring and he fires off! Moxley RAMS Hangman into railing but Hangman DECKS him again! Hangman wants after Moxley but security and referees rush out! Fans want to “Let Them Fight!” and Moxley gets loose, only for Hangman to CLOBBER him!
Hangman rains down fists, Moxley gets back up, and Moxley dares Hangman to try that again. Hangman storms up and he DOES hit Moxley again! Fans are loving it but even MORE refs rush out to stop this! Fans still want to “Let Them Fight!” and Moxley breaks loose! Moxley takes a spill off the ramp, but he gets up again! They scrap, but the security and refs pile on top of them to smother this fight. Moxley goes out one tunnel, Hangman goes out the other, what will keep these two from fighting backstage!?
Dax Harwood w/ Cash Wheeler VS Bryan Danielson!
FTR acknowledged that they have had perhaps the best year possible as a tag team, but Dax the Ax wants to prove himself worthy against THE BEST WRESTLER in the world! The American Dragon accepted that challenge, and now we see if Dax is right. IS Bryan Danielson the best in the world? Or will Dax take that title and add it to his collection?

Indy is loving having the action right at their feet, but the ref checks both men. Dax and Bryan stir, sit up, and Dax fist bumps fans as he returns to ringside.

Dax switches, Bryan switches, repeat, but then Dax fakes Bryan out! Dax reels Bryan in but Bryan back drops the driver away! Dax makes that a sunset flip but Bryan rolls through, rolls Dax, and then ducks the haymaker. Dax ducks the roundhouse, then feints a haymaker to reel Bryan in! PILEDRIVER!! Cover, TWO!!

They DOUBLE LARIAT, and DOUBLE LARIAT and DOUBLE LARIAT again!

But Bryan gets up to LARIAT Dax! Dax and Bryan DOUBLE LARIAT again, and they both flop to the floor! Indy gives a standing ovation, and a standing count starts. “This is Awesome!” as Bryan stands. Bryan’s chest is almost as red as his tights, but then he BUZZ- NO, Dax blocks! Dax JABS, then gets Bryan up for a SLINGSHOT- NO, Bryan RANAS it! But Dax sunset flips that! TWO!! BUZZSAW!!

Dax tried to slay the American Dragon, but he could not! Bryan may very well be the best wrestler in the world, but he nods and applauds the valiant effort of Dax Harwood. Will Dax still be in the conversation of greatest of all time?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
The Dynamite Diamond Battle Royal is back! But this time the prize is a match with MJF for the ring, and the Diamond Ring contender can name the time and place they face him for it! Matt Hardy, Brian Cage, Ethan Page, Jungle Boy, Dalton Castle and Captain Shawn Dean are among the known participants, but who comes out on top to go after MJF’s other precious possession?
Backstage interview with Ricky Starks.
Tony Schiavone brings up next week’s special Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal. The Absolute is the #1 contender to MJF’s AEW World Championship, and he’s in action later tonight to warm-up for Winter is Coming. Starks says that’s right, but he would like to make “an absolute announcement.” Starks is entering IN that battle royal! Starks is going to make a judgment call right now: Starks will WIN that battle royal! Why? Because Starks is coming for everything MJF has! The title, the diamond ring, and his spot at the top! Everything MJF has is owed to Starks as well. He is Absolute for a reason, he proves it tonight, next week and ultimate proves it at Winter is Coming! Will Ricky Starks single-handedly change the AEW landscape to close out the year?
Hangman Page is being escorted out by security.
But then he spots Moxley! The brawl is back on!! Who could’ve guessed?! They ditch the couple of security guards, and Hangman TOSSES Moxley into a garage door! Security rushes back in with reinforcements, but Moxley throws them aside to get at Hangman! Security and refs pry these two apart for what feels like the hundredth time already, what will it take for these two to wait for a match?
Renee Paquette holds a special sit-down interview with the Jericho Appreciation Society.
Renee is live in Nashville with Jake Hager, Daniel Garcia, Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker and thanks them for this time. She also has the Blackpool Combat Club’s Wheeler Yuta & Claudio Castagnoli here. She thanks them for being here, and thanks them all for agreeing to no physicality. Renee starts with Claudio, but then Menard speaks up! When Claudio loses to Chris Jericho next week and has no choice but to be in the JAS, “The beautiful thing about being a sports entertainer, Claudio, is you can be anything you want! You like yodeling? You can be a yodeler!” Renee has the JAS calm down, she hadn’t even asked a question.
The JAS oblige, and Renee says that at ROH Final Battle, in the main event, it will be Claudio VS Jericho for the ROH World title. What would it mean to Claudio to regain that title and bring it back to professional wrestling? It would mean a whole lot. That was his first world title anywhere. It would silence the doubting voice in his head that says he can’t win “the big one.” He needs to prove that, and vows he will prove that. Hager speaks up to just say, “I like this hat!” Then he takes out a matching bucket hat from his fanny pack, and he offers it to Claudio! Deep down, Claudio the Sports Entertainer will love the hat. They can be a great tag team again!
Claudio says he is sick of this! He is sick of the JAS, of sit-down interviews, and being on stage with microphones. He came to AEW to prove he is the best WRESTLER! He does that at Final Battle when he beats Jericho! Claudio throws his chair away but the JAS laughs like hyenas. Garcia says the BCC is falling apart! Yuta says Garcia shouldn’t talk about stuff he knows nothing about! Garcia says alright, here’s what he does know: he made the right choice staying with the JAS! Because that little combat club is falling apart! They’ll prove it next week on Dynamite by “beating up some pro-wrestling dorks!” Hager & Garcia VS Claudio & Yuta!
Yuta says he is done with the JAS, the stupid hat, the stupid nicknames, and those suspenders with a belt. What the hell are you doing, Parker? The only reason Garcia isn’t just dead to Yuta is because Yuta wants that ROH Pure Championship! So yeah, tag match challenge accepted. But at Final Battle, Garcia puts the Pure title on the line and they end this. Garcia says okay then. Yuta storms off now, will the BCC reclaim gold and honor to end their 2022?
AEW TNT Championship: Samoa Joe VS AR Fox!
Sure, Wardlow wants his belt back, but #TwoBeltsJoe is already ready to move on. Will Joe stay the Double Television Champion? Or will the newest high-flyer to go #AllElite start off with a bang?
The introductions are made, the AEW title is raised, and we see just who is The Face of TNT!
The bell rings and fans rally as the two circle. Fans sing “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” as the two tie up. Joe powers Fox to a corner, but lets off as the ref counts. Joe then throws a body shot, JAB, JAB, JAB, JAB, and HEAD CHOP! Fans fire up, Joe stomps Fox and drags him up. Joe DECKS Fox, then mockingly applauds. Joe brings Fox up but Fox throws hands! Joe HEADBUTTS Fox, runs, but Fox goes Matrix to duck the lariat! Fox PELES Joe and Joe tumbles out of the ring! Fans fire up as Fox builds speed and FLIES! But Joe moves aside! Only for Fox to roll through and stand back up! Joe turns around into a BOOT!
Joe gets in the ring, Fox follows and CLUBS away! Joe sweeps the legs! Fox lands on his face, Joe lands on Fox with a SENTON! Joe snarls at Fox as AEW goes picture in picture.
Joe covers, TWO! Joe sits Fox up to CHOP him to ropes, then stands him up. Joe bumps Fox off buckles, then soaks up the cheers and jeers. Joe storms up to Fox, drags him up, but Fox throws body shots! Fox runs, but Joe CLOBBERS him! Joe snarls, stalks Fox and then covers, ONE!! Fox is showing toughness and that amuses Joe. Joe drags Fox up, snapmares him and clamps on a hard neck wrench! Fox endures as Joe leans all his weight on the twist! Fox fights up as fans rally, and Fox throws body shots. Joe throws Fox down by his head! The ref reprimands, and Fox sits up, into a MULE KICK! Cover, TWO!
Now Joe is frustrated as Fox sticks around. Joe stalks Fox to ropes, drags him up, and bumps him off buckles. Joe CLUBS away on Fox’s back with big forearm shots, then CHOPS him on the back! Fox slumps down and Joe smirks as he digs his boot in. The ref count, Joe lets off, and then Joe paces around. Joe drags Fox back up, HEADBUTTS him, but Fox kicks back! Joe throws a forearm, Fox kicks, repeat, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Fox runs, but Joe scoops to a SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO!! Fox barely bridges up for that, and Joe taunts him. Joe puts Fox in a corner, hoists him up top, but Fox throws forearms!
Joe CHOPS Fox back! And then climbs up after Fox, but Fox throws body shots! Joe steps back, Fox FLYING DDTs! Fans fire up and Fox MULE KICKS, BUZZSAWS, but then Joe ducks the heel kick, only to get a BASEMENT CUTTER! Fox hurries up top, 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Joe survives and shocks Fox! Fans fire up as Fox pounds the mat. Fox has some blood in his mouth but he just goes back up top. Fox leaps, but Joe moves aside. This time Fox crashes and burns! Joe runs to POUNCE Fox into the ropes! Joe hoists Fox up top, tucks him in, MUSCLE BUSTER!! Cover, Joe wins!
Winner: Samoa Joe, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
A strong first defense, he gets both belts on his shoulders, and then he gets a mic. “Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to welcome you to a new and glorious era! For I am the One True King of Television!” But Wardlow is on the tron! “Hey, self-proclaimed King of TV. Wow, that’s almost as good as the last nickname you came up with in War Joe. Listen, I hope you enjoyed playing the role, because I’m coming for what’s mine! Cuz Joe, this ain’t your world, this is WARDLOW’S WORLD!” Wardlow has the fans chanting his name, will Joe have to watch his back from now on?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs continues his homecoming journey.
Still in Oakland, California, Hobbs says, “I walk along these streets… I’ve been bullied, I’ve been beaten up. It’s only made me tougher.” The guys on the street rolling dice spot him and give him space. They all wonder who that was, but know not to mess with him. Hobbs continues to narrate, “I’m going to let each and every one of you feel the pain, the hurt, the happiness. I’m taking what belongs to me.”
AEW presents a new Technique By Taz.
We review Hook’s match with Lee Moriarty in defense of the FTW Championship. Taz points out that Hook’s escape from the Border City Stretch was all about breaking wrist control and sitting out to shift and pop free. Then Hook gets the half nelson and cross choke for the Redrum. Moriarty may be a submission savant, but Hook might be a prodigy. Will the Cold-Hearted, Handsome Devil continue to make his father proud in defending that title?
William Regal is here!
Indianapolis boos as “this snake, this coward” (Excalibur’s words on commentary) makes his way to the ring. Moxley is no longer in the building so Regal doesn’t have to hide. He walks down the Burberry carpet and into the ring where something is on a pedestal under a cover. Regal gets a mic while fans boo more, and he says, “Ladies and gentlemen… Your new AEW World Champion… Maxwell Jacob Friedman!” MJF makes his entrance, here as promised last week. Fans are torn as MJF swaggers his way out, belt around his waist and Burberry scarf around his neck. MJF goes to the ring, mic already in hand.
MJF and Regal hug, and MJF says, “I know you people aren’t very bright, but when The Best Wrestler on God’s Green Earth is holding a microphone, you keep your hillbilly mouths shut.” Fans boo more as MJF says, “I would now like to tell you people how my and Mr. Regal’s unholy union-” Fans tell MJF to STFU and that gives him pause. “How uncouth.” But MJF finishes his thought by saying, “Not too long ago, Mr. Regal sent me an email and it was right after The Firm had attacked me, and that email reads as follows.
“Maxwell, I watched on as The Firm attacked you. It’s become very clear you’ve grown weak. I see all the potential in you to not just become a villain, but the greatest villain of our time. However, as I’ve said previously, you have much to learn. I’m willing to help you reach your true potential, but if you want to get the world title around your waist, this time you mustn’t grab the Dynamite Ring. Instead, you must grab the brass one. Yours Sincerely, Sir William Regal.” It was after that that MJF and Regal secretly met, and MJF is not afraid to admit that Regal is a genius.
MJF was more than apt to listen when Regal said to not use the diamond ring, but the brass knuckles. Regal didn’t want MJF to just beat Moxley, no no. He wanted MJF to leave Moxley with a lesson in the form of an emotional scar so that Moxley will never forget the day that he was outsmarted by MJF. “Now let’s talk about The Firm, shall we?” MJF knows everyone wants to know what he’s going to do to The Firm, “and to be honest, eh. I kinda respect The Firm. They saw a weakness in me, and like sharks smelling blood, they attacked, and I would’ve done the exact same thing.
“And let’s be fair, even if I did harbor some resentment, Mr. Regal, do I really seem like the type to chase anyone down?” Regal says no. MJF says that’d take effort. And as Indy knows oh too well, effort is for poors like all of them! See, MJF is above that. And speaking of things MJF is above, let’s talk about the belt, shall we? When MJF became our AEW World Champion, he made a promise to himself that he’d make changes around here. Out with the old, in with the new, and so looking at this belt, he wants to vomit in his mouth. And that’s not just from being in Indiana.
Fans boo more but MJF says, “It’s because it desperately needs an upgrade. This belt is tacky, it lacks class, and to make matters worse, it reminds me of all the men who held it previously. And if we’re being honest with ourselves, yeah, sure, they were all talented in their own rights, I guess. But I think we can all agree none of them are on my level. And that is specifically why this version of the title, much like all of you, is garbage.” MJF throws down Pretty Platinum! And then Regal unveils the BURBERRY STRAPPED AEW World Championship! MJF introduces to the world, the new and improved AEW World Championship, “Triple B: The Big Burberry Belt!”
Fans boo but MJF says this is now the most important, prestigious and prolific world title in all of pro-wrestling, and that’s because MJF is the one holding it! “No one, and I mean no one, deserves to be recognized as world champion except for me! Not any of your over-hyped, overrated pieces of trash you guys constantly push for. Fake tough guys like Eddie Kingston…” Fans start chanting for “Eddie! Eddie!” MJF says they can chant all they want, Eddie will NEVER be world champion. MJF calls out other fake tough guys like Ricky Starks. Starks is a fake star is what he is!
And speaking of fakes, let’s talk about the worst of the worst, the middest of the mid, fake wrestlers like Bryan Danielson! Fans boo but MJF says, “No offense, in comparison to me, Bryan Danielson couldn’t wrestle his way out of a gaddamn paper bag. No offense, Mr. Regal, you tried everything you could. Some people just can’t be helped.” MJF tells Indy to pipe down, but speaking of people who can’t be helped, here’s a message to everyone on HIS show, in HIS locker room and on HIS roster. “So long as I’m in this company, you will never know what it feels like to be on top, because I am going to be world champion for a very long time. All the way, in fact, until the bidding war of 2024!”
At that time, Triple B will be a bargaining chip to get the biggest money contract in the history of the business! MJF will make more money in a day than any of these white trash hicks in their miserable lives! “I just pray to God the right Khan foots the bill, and Lord knows I ain’t talking about Tony.” MJF grins at the camera because he’s talking about “Mah boi, jolly ol’ Saint Nick! And my other boy, The Game, Trips. And if I’m being completely transparent here, Mr. Regal, come January 1st, 2024, I don’t even know if a wrestling company wins the bidding war, because quite frankly, I am getting sick and tired of having to look at disgusting, grotesque professional wrestling fans on a weekly basis. Maybe Hollywood wins!”
MJF grins as fans boo more. But MJF isn’t deaf. He knows there is an interesting amount of fans who were over the moon for him to become champion! Okay, to those fans, fantastic. But call him “Mystic Max,” because their happiness will soon turn to resentment, because those fans are fickle! “Pretty soon, you’ll be saying stuff like, ‘I am sick of MJF! He’s so boring! He’s so repetitive! All he does is talk! He never wrestles. He’s a coward!’ There it is!” Fans chant “BORING~!” as MJF continues to predict the rants about making opponents jump through hoops. But to those people, MJF says, “Great.”
Because y’know who keeps tuning in, praying to God that someone takes Triple B off MJF? YOU! MJF says during his long and illustrious reign, Triple B will be defended very rarely, and he will wrestler very rarely, because unlike everyone else, he’s a special attraction. “In order for you discussing poors to see me defend my title, nine times outta ten, you will have to reach into your pockets for that small amount of money that you have, and buy a PPV in hopes to see someone dethrone me. Newsflash: they won’t. I am about to have a world title reign that will make Hulk Hogan, JBL and Jeff Jarrett seem short and sweet!
“I am about to have a world title reign that is gonna make that shmuck, Bruno Sammartino, roll in his shitty little grave!” Fans boo as MJF stoops to new lows in his insults. MJF says we are now in the Era of MJF, and his reign of terror has only just begun. Fans boo as he holds up Triple B, but then MJF remembers something! He knows fans are confused by all this, but hold on. MJF brings the brass knuckles out and says without these, and without Regal, none of this is possible. The fans might’ve booed when Regal came out here, but everyone still respects him, both fans and wrestlers alike. Because for 40 YEARS, Regal, has given blood, sweat, tears, and sacrificed so much to the business!
MJF gets fans to cheer Regal because Regal loves the business. So that’s why MJF wanted to say from the bottom of his heart, SUCKER PUNCH WITH THE KNUCKLES!!!! Fans boo as hard as ever as MJF walks over and squats by Regal’s prone body. “It’s funny. You said I had much to learn, and yet you’re the one who made a deal with The Devil. So allow me to leave you with the words you left me seven long years ago. ‘Will, the game has changed. MJF exclusive hires top talents and top world class athletes. When you’re of them, send me your stuff. Yours Sincerely, the World Champion, Maxwell Jacob Friedman.'”
MJF drops the mic, brings Triple B with him, and leaves through the crowd. Bryan hurries to Regal’s side, along with the medics. Regal wanted to make the greatest villain of all time, but he have just created the worst monster of all time! Did MJF cross a line no one should ever cross?
AEW returns as Regal is loaded into an ambulance.
He has a neck brace and backboard as he is on the stretcher. Bryan is there, he’s going to ride with Regal to the hospital. Will Lord Regal be alright? Will someone avenge him by ruining all of MJF’s plans for his future?
Ricky Starks VS Ari Daivari!
Speaking of, the Absolute #1 contender plans to ruin the holidays for MJF by taking both world title AND diamond ring! Will Starks be red hot going into the battle royal? Or will Daivari Dinero already ruin Ricky’s own run?
Before the bell, Stokely Hathaway walks out to have everyone wait. He also has Ethan Page and Matt Hardy with him, and Hardy steals the spotlight by getting the fans cheering for V1 and “DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!” Stokely tells Hardy to get his ass to the back! Hardy smiles, but Ethan tells him to not forget that The Firm owns his ass! And in that Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal, Hardy’s gonna help Ethan win it all, because Ricky took away that #1 contendership away from him! So Ethan vows to take the battle royal from Starks. AND, Ethan is calling his shot right now!
At Winter is Coming, after MJF whoops Starks’ ass around the whole arena defending the world title successfully, Ethan will whoop MJF’s tired ass! Then Ethan will be the one with the diamond ring, and Starks will just watch and cry. IF he makes it to Winter is Coming. Daivari CLOBBERS Starks in the corner! The ref rings the bell, Daivari stomps a mudhole, then he fires off hands. Daivari whips, Starks ducks ‘n’ dodges to SPEAR! Fans fire up with Starks and he drags Daivari up! Underhooks, gut wrench, ROSHAMBEAUX!! Cover, Starks wins!
Winner: Ricky Starks, by pinfall
Starks looks at Ethan and Stokely as they’re already eating their words. Will All Ego be deflated in that battle royal? Will Starks win big again to then go for BOTH of MJF’s prizes?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter, Britt Baker & Rebel.
Tony Schiavone is with the AEW Women’s World Champion, the Doctor, and the Doctor’s Assistant and brings up last week how Britt & Hayter won big in tag team action. Britt wants Tony to keep “Doctor” in how he addresses her. And also, she shouts out the big win by her Pittsburgh Steelers right here in Indianapolis. But let’s talk about what is really concerning: The coming sit-down interview Renee has with Saraya. Hayter has a great idea! Why not a sit-down interview with THE Women’s World Champion! A little chat even. And he will, next week. Renee can sit her ass at home! It’s settled, yours truly, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD.
Willow Nightingale VS Anna Jay “A S” w/ Tay Melo!
Things are getting fierce in the invigorated AEW Women’s Division, and the always positive powerhouse is positively gonna pummel the Star of the Show! Will Willow keep the energy going to the top of the rankings? Or will the Queenslayer choke her out?

Fans fire up as Willow runs, rolls then runs Anna over! Willow flexes, drags Anna up and short arm LARIATS! And short arm LARIATS again! Anna ELBOWS back but swings into a BIG back suplex! Fans fire up as Willow runs to SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Anna goes to a corner, fans rally for Willow and she runs in to back body block! Willow does a dance, whips Anna corner to corner, then runs in to back body block again! Anna dodges the lariat to ROCK Willow, run and HEEL KICK!

Anna bumps Willow off buckles, digs her boots in, then lets off at 4. Tay applauds as Anna snapmares Willow for elbows! Anna clamps on a chinlock and she squeezes tight. But Willow endures and fans rally up. Willow fights up, only for Anna to wrangle her down. Willow fights up again, throws body shots, and AEW returns to single picture.
Willow ROCKS Anna, but Anna ROCKS Willow. Willow ROCKS Anna, so Anna ROCKS Willow! Fans rally as the shots go back and forth, and Willow CHOPS and ROCKS and CHOPS! Anna KNEES low, whips, but Willow reverses. Willow runs in to back body block in the corner, and LARIAT! Snapmare, run and BOOT!

Willow survives and upsets TayJay! Fans fire up and cheer Willow on as she rises up. Anna shouts she’s gonna choke her out! QUEENSLAYER!! But BACKPACK SENTON turns that round! Willow drags Anna up and gut wrenches, but Tay gets on the apron! Willow DECKS her for it! Anna reels Willow in but Willow fights the clinch with elbows! Gut wrench, but Anna hooks a leg to roll! Cradle, TWO!! Anna hurries but Willow BOOTS and LARIATS! Fans fire up and Willow drags Anna back up! Gut wrench, DOCTOR BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
No weeping Willow here! She’s all smiles as she gets another great win! Will Willow will her way to a title opportunity in time for the holidays?
But wait! TayJay aren’t done having a bad time, cuz RUBY SOHO Is back! Tay thinks she’s coming from the ramp, but nope! Ruby slips in from the crowd! Tay turns around, and Ruby tackles her! Ruby rains down fists! Anna returns but Ruby DECKS her! Tay ROCKS Ruby, but Ruby just grins! Ruby chases Tay out of the ring and brings her around to HEADBUTT! Tay wobbles, Ruby brings Tay around again, into DESTINATION UNKNOWN to the ramp! Ruby sits with Tay and gives her a kiss on the forehead. Is the Runaway going to run through the Brazilian Goddess?
The House of Black speaks.
Malakai himself says, “Before this week is done, you will have seen more of us making less of them.” The House is back from the dead, what does this mean for AEW?
Backstage interview with QT Marshall and Orange Cassidy.
Schiavone notes we all saw The Factory and Best Friends fall victim to the return of Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews. They agreed to this time to talk it out. QT wants to talk directly to Cassidy since he keeps getting interrupted. QT wants a shot at the All-Atlantic Championship. Cassidy says no problem. Oh, yeah, okay. Then this Friday on Rampage, it won’t just be a normal match! QT wants a Lumberjack match! Yeah, love it, great. See you then. QT can’t stand that, though he got what he wanted, Cassidy kept talking over him. But since he got what he wanted, will QT get the title? Or will he just get what he deserves?
The Baddies are here!
And it is a celebration for the still undefeated AEW TBS Champion! Jade Cargill is 42-0, has the physical belt back, and has Red Velvet back, though she kicked Kiera Hogan to the curb. That aside, they and Leila Grey go to the ring, Velvet and Leila in magenta to contrast with all the green and gold. The confetti cannons go off with red, while Jade has the mic to say, “Now we all know why we’re here tonight: because of me, and my big ass celebration! But before we begin, let me address something and set the record straight. I made the Baddies, I say who stays and who goes. Now you see, I got rid of the trash last week. So I’m so confused as to why you two were chilling with her this past weekend!”
Velvet shrugs, Leila rolls her eyes, but Jade says she is done playing games! Jade got her belt back from Nyla Rose at Full Gear! Understand that to stand next to Jade is a blessing. So either you two get in line, or they can step. Because they are eating on her dime, making names off of her, and this whole company is eating off of her! SHE is the brightest star the company has! Stand her next to any wrestler in the back, and every consumer knows she’s the star! No one has Jade’s face, Jade’s body, or Jade’s aura. NOBODY! Leila and Velvet seem to agree with that since they’re staying right there in the ring.
Jade then asks the fans, “So you tell me what we’re gonna do about that. And you all can play, but I put asses in seats!” Plenty of the fans agree with that. “I wrestle for bad bitches. Now cameramen, do your job and get my Baddies.” The cameras do in fact find the Indy Baddie Section as Jade continues. “I am the real deal! I am nothing but real. And like I said, I create careers. And speaking of careers, Lil’ Bow Wow is a joke! Is a total joke!” But wait, Bow Wow is on the tron! And he says, “Jadey, baby, you deserve all the flowers in the world. Congratulations on your little win. It was cute, really cute.”
But to get to business, time is money and Bow Wow is all about money. He’s done with his tour, has a lot of time on his hands, so what does that mean? “See you soon. Real, real soon.” Jade doesn’t understand what the hell is going on with Bow Wow, but she and the Baddies storm out of the ring. Who, if anyone, will ever dethrone #ThatBitch?
The Acclaimed speak.
Billy Gunn is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens backstage, and he’s like a drill sergeant with his trainees. He asks, “Why is there a camera in our face?” Bowens answers, “Because AEW stands for Acclaimed Every Wednesday.” Billy asks, “Why do you two not have a match on Dynamite?” Caster answers, “Because Everyone Loves the Acclaimed, and no one wants to fight us, Daddy Ass.” Billy asks, “And what are you two going to do about it?” Bowens says, “I have an idea, Daddy Ass.” Then would he like to let us all know? Bowens says this Friday on Rampage, they give a tag title opportunity to the best tag team in AEW!
How can that possibly be when THEY are the best team in AEW?! Caster says Bowens meant the second best team, Daddy Ass. Sorry. Okay. Then there’s only one thing left to do: SCISSOR FINGER~!!! Who is the second best team in AEW? AKA the #1 contenders? We’ll see this Friday when Rampage returns to its regular time of 10 PM Eastern!
AEW World Trios Championships Best of 7, Match 3: Death Triangle VS The Elite!
PAC, Rey Fenix & Penta El Zero M ruined the return of Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks with a bell hammer. Then they cheated the second match with another bell hammer. Will there be THREE hammers in this third match? Or can the Best Bout Machine and his boys finally get on the board?
The fans sing Carry On My Wayward Son for The Elite, and then the introductions are made. But then The Elite attack Death Triangle on the ramp! Omega is after Fenix, Matt Jackson is after Pac and Nick Jackson is after Penta! Fans fire up as the brawl goes from ramp to stage, but then also down the ramp. Indy fires up for “THE! ELITE! THE THE ELITE!” as Omega and Nick mug Fenix. Matt ROCKS Penta, the ref reprimands everyone, but Penta runs, into a back drop to the ramp! Nick kicks Fenix, runs to get a boost from Matt, the RANA sends Fenix down the ramp! Omega RAMS Pac into part to the tunnel, to hit a KOTARO KRUSHER to the stage!
The Bucks check on Omega, that elevated bulldog really hurts the tailbone and hip. Nick CLUBS away on Pac, drags him up, and Matt walks Pac with Nick down the ramp. They head for ringside, Omega walks off the pain, and the Bucks set Pac up. Omega runs down the ramp to build up speed, for a SUPERKICK from Pac!! The Lucha Brothers then somersault down the ramp, DOUBLE STUNNERS!! Death Triangle turns things around on Elite and this still isn’t even on record as AEW goes picture in picture!
Fenix CLUBS Omega, ROCKS him and they end up going around the ramp. Matt and Nick hobble, Penta and Pac keep on them. Omega and Fenix brawl just offstage in front of fans. Fenix UPPERCUTS, Penta CLUBS and KICKS Nick to send him along the pyro grate. Nick hits Penta back and TOSSES Penta off onto Fenix and Omega! Pac and Matt brawl at center stage while Nick LEAPS to AX HANDLE Penta back down! Matt KICKS Pac towards that side of the stage, reels him in, but Pac blocks the suplex. Matt keeps trying but Pac throws body shots. Matt throws those shots back, then punches away on Pac’s forehead!
Matt gets space, runs but Pac BOOTS him away! Then Pac says what the hell, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS onto Nick, Omega and the Lucha Brothers!! Death Triangle then drags Nick and Omega up, but Matt SUPER CROSSBODIES them all down! Omega helps Matt up and the Elite drag Death Triangle up. The brawling continues, going back to the ramp and then to ringside. Omega sends Penta into railing while Nick sends Pac into the apron. Fenix whips but Matt reverses to send Fenix into barriers! Matt mocks Fenix’s pain then kicks him down! Matt then brings Fenix around to have him join the others ringside.
Dynamite returns to single picture, Brandon Cutler is vlogging this for The Elite as they set up Death Triangle. They all put one out, but the ref wants this to finally get in the ring. Omega says fine, and he puts Penta in the ring. The bell finally sounds and NOW this is a match! Then Omega kicks Penta out of the ring, the Bucks DOUBLE APRON POWERBOMB Fenix and Pac! Omega then brings Penta around, but Penta fights that bomb off to CHOP Omega! And CHOP Matt! And tilt-o-whirl BACKBREAKER Nick! Omega rushes back in, but into a tilt-o-whirl BACKBREAKER! Fans fire up with Penta as he shouts, “CERO! MIEDO!”
But then Penta moves, Matt WRECKS the ref with that wrecking ball dropkick!! And Alex Abrahantes sneaks a bell hammer to Penta! Penta hurries, hiding that hammer in his waistband. Penta then sets that down in a corner, and builds speed to FLY! Direct hit on The Elite! Penta puts Omega in, grabs said hammer, and fans are torn! Fenix gets in and he tells Penta NO! They’ve already done this enough for his liking! Penta tells him to shut up and just watch! But then Fenix grabs the hammer from Penta! V-TRIGGER hits Fenix!! Fenix flops out of the ring, Penta kicks Omega and tucks! But Omega slips out, the Bucks DOUBLE SUPERKICK Penta!
Omega hurries to SNAP DRAGON! Penta flounders, the ref is finally up, and fans are thunderous as Omega drags Penta back up. POWERBOMB, flip over and V-TRIGGER!! Cover, but Pac breaks it! Nick kicks Pac and sends him out. Omega goes corner to corner but Penta BOOTS him away! Nick runs in but is put on the apron! Matt runs in, but he’s also put on the apron.

Pac puts Omega up top, climbs up after him, and then stands Omega up. Omega fights the superplex to fire off forearms and elbows! Pac clings to the ropes to stay up! They get forehead to forehead, but Omega fires off forearm after forearm! Pac just keeps taking those shots! Pac HEADBUTTS Omega in return! The brace might’ve helped in that! Pac stands Omega up, for a SUPER FALCON ARROW!!! Cover, TWO!!!
Omega survives again and fans are thunderous as AEW goes picture in picture.
Fenix CLOBBERS Matt on the outside, Pac and Omega slowly sit up in the ring. Nick coaches Omega, but Pac drags him to the Death Triangle corner.

The Bastard is furious as Matt survives again. Pac drags Matt back into the drop zone then climbs up. BLACK ARROW, into Matt’s knees!!! Cradle, THE ELITE WIN!!!
Winners: The Elite, by pinfall (the series is now 2-1, in favor of Death Triangle)
FINALLY, The Elite score one on Death Triangle! But they’ve still got a long way to go in this Best of 7! Omega gets the mic to say, “There was never gonna be a sweep, as long as The Cleaner’s in town. We’re bringing this back, it’s gonna be a reverse sweep. And boy, this is the first time in awhile I’ve been able to close a show. So without any further adieu, I must bid you all a good bye, mwah! And good night, BANG! Now play that song again, would ya?” Fans sing Carry On again as Dynamite goes off the air. Will The Elite come back from being down two to win this in six? Or will Winter is Coming cool them off so that Death Triangle can get hot again?
My Thoughts:
Great Dynamite here to pave more of the road for Winter is Coming. For one, a very creative change to the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal since the current ringbearer is also the current AEW World Champion. I had a feeling Starks would want in on that on top of being #1 contender to the world title. Starks squashed Daivari, he really should win the battle royal so he can make Winter is Coming a Winner Takes All situation. At the same time, that does seem a shame to have Starks lose both prizes, so maybe Starks calls for a double header? He may not win the belt but he can win the ring and take MJF’s ace in the hole.
And speaking of the battle royal, I do like that Ethan wants to force Hardy to help him, but I bet Hardy finds a way to mess that up for him. Then maybe that starts things towards Hardy liberating himself and Private Party from The Firm. #HardyParty has been building up wins on Dark and Elevation, they could be Trios contenders on the other side of Elite VS Death Triangle, and that could be all the more reason The Firm will want to keep them under contract as long as possible.
Great opening segment from Moxley and the surprise return of Hangman! Of course it turns into a brawl that happens again backstage, and that will definitely be a match for Winter is Coming. And I think we will get the proper finish there we were meant to see in the title match. Amazing first match of the night in Bryan VS Dax tonight. Dax has definitely proven himself as a great wrestler, no matter what division we’re talking about. He loves being a tag guy with Cash, but maybe before calling it a day, Dax will win a midcard title. Perhaps the All-Atlantic Championship since Cassidy loves putting that thing up.
QT and Cassidy had a hilarious little promo to set up a match for Rampage, but a Lumberjack Match is just tailor made for the House of Black showing up and wrecking everyone ringside. I’m pretty sure Cassidy retains the title either way, and he’ll likely defend it against Malakai 1v1. Acclaimed have a good promo to set up a tag title match, but I don’t see FTR stepping up to them on a Rampage. It’ll probably be whoever is second on the contender’s list. And whichever that team is, they’re losing to The Acclaimed. FTR and Gunn Sons have to set up something for Final Battle, it’s what makes sense.
Speaking of other things that were set up for Final Battle and that make sense, great sit-down interview promo from JAS and BCC, especially with Claudio being fed up with the constant interviews. Hager bringing out a second purple bucket hat is hilarious, too. Hager & Garcia VS Claudio & Yuta will be a great tag match, Garcia VS Yuta will be a great Pure title match since we’ve seen it a couple times already. But I cannot be sure where the titles go. Of the two, I see Garcia losing, but then that means Claudio will be forced to sports entertain. A part of me would love seeing what happens with that, though.
The celebration for The Baddies wasn’t much of a celebration, and they didn’t even get to have the clearly red velvet cake. But Jade really amped up her arrogance saying Jade is AEW. I almost thought this was the moment she turned off Velvet and Leila for good, but guess not. And Bow Wow either has a proxy to dethrone Jade, or he is such a distraction that Jade loses. I can’t be sure who Bow Wow introduces in the first idea, while that second idea feels a bit cheap. I suppose it does keep Jade strong in her first loss ever, but Jade is so good as a character that she deserves to be beat by someone straight up so there’s no excuse.
Good match for Willow VS Anna and a very good win for Willow. But since she’s lost multiple times to Jade, she probably has to wait until Jade loses it so she can go after the new champ. And a great return for Ruby in her hometown, she and Willow can both build momentum taking the fight to TayJay. Good promo from Hayter and Britt to keep the “hate-on” for Saraya. Nice return of Technique by Taz, and I really liked the orange filter. No idea who is next for Hook, or who dethrones him, but Hook is finally facing people that challenge him, so that’s good.
Another great vignette for Hobbs. He really should be TNT Champion, but it is nice to get some real depth for his character. He’ll definitely be the next TNT Champion after Wardlow VS Joe. Joe VS Fox was a great match, too, and it’s great for Fox to be somewhere higher profile. MJF continues to be great on the mic, but he should be pissed at whoever made that belt for him. The Big Burberry Belt just looks like a Big Brown Belt because of how muted those colors ended up on the leather. But you do have to appreciate MJF has picked up the mantle of “AEW’s HHH Parody” with Cody Rhodes in WWE.
And just as things were starting to drag on, MJF turns it all around with that sucker punch to Regal! Bryan was devastated, but he’ll surely return with rage, wanting after MJF, and I wonder if Tony Khan already shoots down MJF’s “PPVs only” stipulation by making MJF face Bryan at like Holiday Bash or New Year’s Smash to see if MJF even makes it to 2023 as champion. Also, lots of people are talking about Regal going back to WWE but not going back to WWE, I don’t know which will happen, but this is of course a way to write him off for a moment and give him a great return moment to screw MJF over.
And lastly, what a great main event for the trios titles. I feel like half of the segment wasn’t even officially a match. These two teams keep busting out great stuff, and the Death Triangle story with the hammer continues. It more or less cost them tonight, but the Elite had to get on the board somehow. They take a week off from this series next week to come back at Winter is Coming, but I bet there will be a promo where Fenix argues with Penta about the hammer. This is all leading to The Elite getting the belts at the end of the series, and then Death Triangle might fall apart. I don’t really want that, the Trios Division needs trios as great as them, but if even The Dark Order can fall apart, then any trio can.
My Score: 8.8/10

Winner: MJF, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
The Scumbag found a new way to survive, denying Knight his ticket to LA. However, that means he still has to face Hangman in a Texas Death Match! But MJF TOSSES the ref, because he aims with the Dynamite Diamond Ring! BUT WAIT! Hangman is here! The Cowboy tells MJF to back down now, but MJF dares Hangman to do something about it!

March 15th, it will be a dream come true. Andrade tells Bandido that he hears Bandido is one of the best Mexican wrestlers alive! But what he’s seeing… This is just a fan! Does he want to fight? Or does he want a selfie? Maybe they can take one now.
Andrade takes out his phone, but it turns out someone is calling him. See you at Revolution. Andrade walks off to answer the call, but will he learn the hard way to take Bandido seriously?
The Brawling Birds VS The IInspiration!

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall
Did that just set a record!? Hangman puts his jacket back on and grabs a mic to say, “Hey, look. I’ma make this short, cuz his ass ain’t the one I wanted to beat tonight. MAX! I have put my entire future at stake for the chance to do what your parents should’ve done nearly 30 years ago, and taught you a lesson. For years, you have sneered and you have scoffed at me for having what I think is a basic human conscience. But let me warn you: In Texas Death, I have no conscience! Max, I will rip you, I will tear you, and I will only let you lie when I am finished with you. And Max, you are the world champion, so surely, that doesn’t scare you.
“You’ve already shown that you are itching to punch someone in the head with your diamond ring, so why don’t you slip it back on your pinkie, get your dumbass out here now, and show me what good that will do you at Revolution!” The fans cheer that, but MJF says, “Alright, alright, pipe down, pipe down. It’s bad enough I gotta be in this C Tier town, El Paso. But clearly, clearly you’re not very bright, Hangman! Did you not just see me beat your boy, Kevin Knight’s ass? Huh? You all saw it, right? It’s bad enough I gotta listen to you yap next week at the press conference, don’t make me come down there and whoop your ass, too, Cowboy.”
The fans boo, but Hangman says if he’s not gonna do it, then- OH NO! Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada, and Mark Davis attack Hangman!! The fans boo but MJF gets to smile at Hangman’s pain now. Davis has an ANKLE LOCK on Hangman while Okada & Fletcher stomp away on Hangman! They get Hangman up, CHOKE him on the ropes, then Davis hits the REBOUNDER! The fans boo but Kyle mockingly asks if Hangman liked that. But here comes JetSpeed! Bailey & Knight run the Don Callis Family’s heavy hitters with chairs, but then the Jackal himself appears! Accompanied by Lance Archer, Callis has a mic in hand.
The fans cuss Callis out, but he says, “I have something important to say!” The fans boo, but Callis says he sees Jet Set Rodeo in the ring, and he sees three champions, but he also sees three greedy, entitled Millennial punks! It’s not enough that they have the trios titles, but Hangman wants the world title, Knight wants Okada’s International title, and Speedball, “you little French Canadian puke,” wants after the great Kyle Fletcher and his TNT title. How much is enough? One thing Callis hates is a greedy guy. All he’s heard is about what Jet Set Rodeo wants, but he wants us all to be quiet so he can talk. The fans just boo harder! Callis says be quiet so he can tell you what CALLIS wants!
Callis couldn’t help but hear on Collision last Saturday, what was the term they used? “Any place, any time.” Jet Set Rodeo said they’d defend those titles any place and any time. Well, he has a very important to announcement! See, when he heard that, he got to thinking. He just recently left a conversation with Tony Khan. So any place, any time? The place is EL PASO! The time is TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT! The AEW World Trios Champions WILL defend those titles against Mark Davis, Kyle Fletcher & Kazuchika Okada! And after they beat Jet Set Rodeo, the trios titles will belong to DON BAH GAWD CALLIS!!
The fans boo, but the fight IS official! Knight is already banged up from losing to MJF, can he, Bailey & Hangman possibly survive Dunkzilla, Protostar & Rainmaker?
Sit-down interview with The Young Bucks and FTR.
Renee Paquette is already in the boardroom with Matt & Nick Jackson, Brandon Cutler helping film this, but they’re the only ones on time. How’re they feeling? Nick says he’s a bit beat up, but- Oh, now Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway arrive, #BigStoke still in his wheelchair. Stoke asks Renee to move over for him. Renee obliges though The Bucks take offense. Renee has everyone calm down, they already signed the No Physicality Agreement for this. Dax says he’s fine, it’s on The Bucks. The AEW World Tag Team Champions take their seats, and Dax says it’s wild to think about. The greatest tag teams of the 21st Century: The Briscoes, The Bucks, and FTR.
Now, FTR bested The Briscoes two-outta-three, and FTR are #DemBoys’ greatest rivals, so… Dax’s thought is, when they best The Bucks again at Revolution, FTR goes down as THE greatest tag team of the millennium! Cash points out that FTR are THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions, but The Bucks are also THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions, so Revolution will finally be chapter closed, book finished, only one will be the best. Nick says yeah, okay, we can go back and forth about accomplishments, but this time is a little different. And do they know why? Because FTR put their hands on the Jackson family!
FTR hit a piledriver on their brother! FTR pushed and shoved their parents! Cash claims self-defense, but Nick knows that’s crap. At Revolution, it won’t be only about winning the titles back, but about revenge for their family! Matt brings up how The Jackson Family was simply ringside when FTR did what they did. Matt’s kids, Nick’s kids, how they felt, it is taking The Bucks everything they have in their souls to not just reach across this desk and beat the living SH*T outta FTR! But it’s okay, it’s okay. They won’t do that now.
No, they’ll do that in Los Angeles at Revolution, in front of their family so they can see The Bucks destroy FTR and leave them in a puddle of piss and blood, when The Bucks take the titles for a record breaking fourth time! Cash says he hopes the family is there, too. Then FTR can teach them another lesson! Things get heated again, Renee has them calm down again, but Cash say The Bucks are clearly not mature enough to handle this rationally. FTR will show themselves out and remove themselves from this troubling situation. Dax says The Bucks are so lucky about the No Physicality Agreement. But uh, Cutler wasn’t part of it.
Dax DECKS Cutler!! The Bucks are angry again, but they check on Cutler. FTR keeps turning up the heat, but will they be the ones burned?
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Hechicero!
The Maniac is still set for his match with The Alpha in Los Angeles, and he already crossed CLØN off the list. Will Moxley do the same to The Alchemist? Or will Hechicero have just the right formula to turn opportunity into a golden ticket?

Brody King is here!
The King of Death doesn’t really worry about his entrance music, he just grabs a mic on his way into the ring. El Paso barks with him before he says, “SWERVE! You know, I could be like you. I could stand on that announce table for half an hour, telling everybody just how dangerous I am. But I don’t need to do that, because I KNOW that I am the most dangerous man in AEW! So why don’t you get your ass out here and I can prove that tonight!” The fans like that idea! But Prince Nana shows up to tell Brody, “I hear you, alright? I hear you loud and clear. But are you sure you wanna do this, my friend? Are you sure you wanna go down that rabbit hole with the man himself? Are you sure about that, Brody?”
Brody says quit talking, Nana, and bring Swerve’s ass out here. Nana laughs and says okay. “Without further interruption, ladies and gentlemen… May I introduce to you the REAL Most Dangerous Man in AEW… SWERVE! STRICKLAND!” Nana laughs an evil laugh while the music begins, but Swerve doesn’t enter from the stage! HE ATTACKS FROM BEHIND! Swerve uses his chain to BEAT BRODY DOWN!

It’s one thing talking about being the Most Dangerous Man, it’s another actually doing it! And I’m about that action. So guess what? I will be seeing you in LA at Revolution! For your information, and a little reminder, I humbled a man in LA, too.” But then BANDIDO runs out here!
Swerve gets clear before The Outlaw can get at him! The fans boo Swerve but he just smiles seeing what he did to Brody. Will Swerve do far worse to put Brody down for good?
The Death Riders speak.
Daniel Garcia says that’s what they like every single week! Don Callis Family, are you stupid or are you dumb? When you gonna stop picking fights you cannot win!? Wheeler Yuta has Garcia step aside, and Yuta shows off the bald head. “Get a good look, okay?! Losing my hair was the darkest moment of my career. But the Death Riders are the reason I’m not wallowing in my misery. They’re the reason I’m prepared every day for war! Cuz I know when I walk in that arena, and there are thousands of people screaming hurtful, mean, terrible things at me, trying to kick my ass, I know the people I care about most in the world have my back. Through loss, I have freedom.”
Marina then calls out Toni Storm again. “You better shoot from the hip and make me laugh, for your sake. You p*ssy!” Moxley says they all are, aren’t there? A bunch of punk asses! Don Callis Family, CMLL, was THAT the baddest hombre you got? NJPW, all these advertising agencies that got into pro-wrestling! NOBODY does it like they do! No team is like this team! No one is willing to go as long and as far as them! Takeshita, at Revolution, it’s just you and Moxley. And they’re gonna go as long as it takes. They’re gonna see this through all the way to the end. The Death Riders head out, will they take everyone out along the way?

But then Kris Statlander shows up, making sure they don’t try anything. Security rushes out here to keep this from popping off, but Thekla just CURB STOMPS Rosa again!! The fans boo, and Kris CHUCKS a guard aside! Kris storms into the ring but Thekla’s already in retreat! The Cosmic Killer couldn’t protect Rosa, but will she be the one to avenge her now?
Jack Perry speaks.
“Last week, to cap off Mile High Madness, I pinned Ricochet for the third time. Now, every time the odds have been even, I beat you. But every time that it’s really counted, instead of fighting me man to man, you and The Gates of Agony have found a way to cheat. We both won battles. Pretty soon, it’s gonna be time for you and I to finish the war.”
Ricochet responds.
The One & Only tells Jack to listen: “Ya boi been jet-setting! I am the most fighting champion in AEW, brother! So if it’s a fight that you want, if it’s a war that you want, then a war you got. Because when you are in Demand, you can make demands.” Kaun adds, “And if you don’t meet our demands…” Toa Liona finishes with, “YOU GET PUT DOWN!” AHA~! Then when and where will Ricochet and Jack Perry finally settle the score?
On-stage interview with Tommaso Ciampa.
Renee Paquette introduces the Psycho Killer, and El Paso cheers as he makes his entrance. Ciampa is fired up like his pyro, and Renee says he has been so impressive here in AEW. An instant classic with Mark Briscoe to win the AEW TNT Championship, and then he unfortunately lost that title to Kyle Fletcher. What does Ciampa plan to do to get back on top? Ciampa says let’s address the elephant in the room that is Kyle Fletcher. He took the title, he renamed it from Silvey to Pinkie, and gave her a makeover without Ciampa’s consent. Now Fletcher is hiding behind the Don Callis Family, hiding in tag matches and trios matches.
“Because Kyle Fletcher knows the second we run back Fletcher VS Ciampa, you are looking at your NEW TNT Champion.” The fans cheer that! Ciampa says if he has to play games, he’ll play games. And if that means he has to earn a rematch, he’ll do that. If that means he goes to war with Mark Briscoe one more time, he’ll do that, too. But make no mistake, he didn’t come to AEW for “instant classics.” He came here to be a top guy! The fans cheer that, and Renee brings up the history with Mark Briscoe. They go way back- Wait, FTR interrupts. Ciampa sighs and the fans boo as Cash & Dax make their way out.
Dax stares Ciampa down, then hugs him? Cash hugs him, too? Dax says they’re only here to welcome an old friend to AEW! And earlier, Ciampa said he wants to be a top guy? Well, what better way than to surround yourself with these Top Guys. Dax will extend an olive branch to Ciampa like he’s never done before. Dax would love if Ciampa would join them and take over AEW. The fans boo that idea, but Dax says c’mon, old friend. Ciampa says yeah, “old friend,” just what he was thinking. Because Ciampa hated FTR’s guts ten years ago, and he still hates them today. But no, hey, quiet, Stokely, the grown-ups are talking.
Dax has Ciampa hold on. It doesn’t matter how good of friends they were or were not, you do NOT speak to #BigStoke like that. And if Ciampa has a problem with Stoke, then he has a problem with FTR. Ciampa understands earlier tonight, FTR signed their No Physicality with The Bucks, but uh… Ciampa didn’t. He SMACKS Dax! Cash gets in Ciampa’s face but Dax has him back off! The fans cheer, but FTR cools down. Dax says he is not mad at Ciampa. But see you on Saturday. The AEW World Tag Team Champions already got on the wrong side of the Psycho Killer, but will Dax the Ax cut him down? Or will Ciampa make sure no one will survive this Collision?
Toni Storm has a cameraman follow her.
She busts into the medical trainer’s room and asks “Citrus Boy” what those Dogs did to him. Cassidy says, “A lot. Pretty sure I got put through a table, hit in the face with a shillelagh… Those dudes just wanna fight. And if they want to fight, then Darby and I will fight them. We’ll fight them at Revolution. But that’s not for another couple weeks, so we’re also gonna fight next week. And then we’ll fight all the weeks after that. We’ll fight, we’ll just fight ’em.” Toni says that’s well said, Clementine. But hear this! Where there are War Dogs, there are Death Riders not far behind.
So then there’s no better behind to be behind than her behind “if you’re a nicotine-chewing Nancy who wants her lips twisted, and her face fisted! Got it?!” Cassidy says, “Yeah…?” Now, can’t you tell he’s indisposed? Begone! The camera feed cuts, but will nothing and no one stop the TIMELESS Conglomeration from overcoming everyone in their way?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Since Moxley has been facing Don Callis Family members again and again, Konosuke Takeshita proves he can take on Death Riders, too! The Alpha will battle Claudio Castagnoli this Saturday, will the NEW NJPW World TV Champion earn a golden ticket on the way to Revolution? Plus, after choking out Brody King, Swerve Strickland looks to send a message to Bandido, as well! Swerve takes on Bandido’s brother, Gravity! Will the Most Dangerous Man bring Gravity back down to earth?
And then, FTR’s focus on The Young Bucks might cost them again as The Rascalz have called their shot! They want the AEW World Tag Team Championships this Saturday! Will Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz turn everything upside-down in Tucson? Or will Cash & Dax leave them high ‘n’ dry in the desert?
AEW World Trios Championships: Jet Set Rodeo VS Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis!
While Hangman has been dead set on taking back the AEW World Championship, Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey have been talking up wanting a lot more gold.

Winners: Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Trios Champions)
MJF smiles and applauds his handywork as he costs Hangman and his friends. But will screwing Hangman over only add to the torture MJF is going to suffer through? And as for The Don Callis Family, will they continue to collect belt after belt until they reign over all of AEW?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, but AEW wouldn’t need to use the overrun every single week if they didn’t try to do EVERYTHING, even unnecessary promos, every single week! The show’s flow was doing so well, until FTR and The Bucks had their meeting in the boardroom. FTR are great in the ring but lately, their promos grind things to a halt. And what did this add other than FTR sucker punching Brandon Cutler? We know The Bucks are upset about FTR going after their family, they said so last time, AND it’s just obvious anyway. FTR confronting Ciampa was at least something fresh, a nice reference to their WWE days, and probably could’ve been the one FTR promo we got.
The promos with Brodido and their separate stories at least established the matches we knew were happening. Andrade being obnoxious to Bandido was good stuff, and Brody calling out Swerve only to get jumped and choked out was also good, especially for the heat. Swerve will of course beat Gravity, but the question is how badly. It’s equal parts a message to Bandido and Brody, so I wonder if we get Brodido VS Swerve & Andrade for a go-home Dynamite or Collision. Either way, I feel like Andrade and Swerve are each going to win their matches; Andrade needs to build momentum if he wants after MJF, and Swerve just started his Heel turn, he also needs to maintain momentum.
MJF VS Knight opening the show was rather surprising, but it makes sense now. It was an awesome match, Knight really establishing himself as a singles competitor, but of course MJF won. Though, Hangman didn’t need his own match, he could’ve just called MJF out when he showed up on stage. MJF could then clap back right there, and DCF could’ve jumped Hangman and JetSpeed right there. Then we still get the trios title main event, which honestly surprised me being an “impromptu match.” It was an awesome match, though they didn’t give as much Aussie Open moves as I’d hoped. But in the end, MJF screwing Hangman over was a fine way to protect the Faces in losing, but makes me think even more now that Hangman has to win at Revolution.
Perhaps part of the Don Callis Family winning the trios titles is so they can be given to the Death Riders. Great match from Moxley VS Hechicero, and of course Moxley won. I don’t think we needed that group promo from the Death Riders, since Marina snuck in her promo on Toni during Moxley’s entrance. But I suppose Yuta still had to speak on how he’s bald now but won’t let that be a source of shame. I could see Yuta, Garcia, and Pac going for the trios titles, but I don’t know if they’d be able to take those off Protokadaussie Open fair and square. Kyle VS Bailey being announced during the trios match was a bit sloppy, too, and I would think Kyle wins that, too.
Darby & Cassidy VS The Dogs was a great tag match, and while Darby & Cassidy won, the big surprise was David Finlay showing up. It wasn’t 100% guaranteed he was going to WWE but I at least thought there was a chance. But to be fair, he gets to be exactly the same Savage King David Finlay he was in NJPW by going to AEW, even joining up with his guys here. Depending on how they play this, a Conglomeration member like Mark Briscoe could join Darby and Cassidy in a Six Man Tag with the Dogs, but I also wonder where Roddy Strong fits into all this. Very good promo from Toni & Cassidy in response, and we have gotta get Toni VS Marina for Revolution.
The IInspiration losing to Brawling Birds in such jobber fashion was rather surprising. They didn’t get one good shot in on Jamie & Alex the entire time, and got stacked with the finisher. If they’re going to be All Elite now, they’re starting at the bottom after building up quite a bit of hype from their stop over in Stardom. Thekla VS Rosa was a great match, especially since they chose to keep everyone else in the back. But as I figured last week, Thekla was going to win this, so at least she did it cleanly. Kris failing to protect Rosa might mean Kris gets her rematch with Thekla at Revolution, but they’d have to put that together right away with this week’s Collision or the go-home Dynamite.
My Score: 9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
MJF is here!
And he is in no mood, so he immediately has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF says he’ll make something very clear. This show does not start until Revolution is rectified! He doesn’t know what people think he is! You think he’s some deathmatch indie bum!? He’s a REAL pro-wrestler! MJF is the best wrestler on the planet today! “Tony Khan, you get your bony ass out here right now and you change the stipulation of this match! I am NOT doing Texas Death, not a shot!” MJF again says Collision doesn’t start until something gets done! But instead of TK, he gets Kevin Knight! The Jet wags his finger at MJF as he goes down the ramp.
Knight steps into the ring and gets himself a mic to tell MJF, “Nice to see you, homie. I heard you in the back, talking about wanting to get something done. Well look no further than The Jet. Cuz if your narrow-minded ass hasn’t been paying attention the last couple of weeks, The Jet’s been getting the job done. Stacking W’s, getting the wins, and not to mention this past week on Dynamite, The Jet got the job done when you tried to weasel your ass out of that little stipulation. Do you remember that? We got the job done. Because now tonight, the job I’m getting done is shutting your whining ass up! You crybaby ass b*tch!”
The fans chant, “You’re a B*tch!” at MJF. Knight says to rectify this situation, don’t walk away from him. Because honestly, MJF comes out here and the people are tired of hearing that routine of how much better you are than them. How much money he’s got, when we all know that scarf is fake. Because when we compare the two, Knight dresses better, he has more swag than that fat ass head could ever imagine, and not to mention, MJF knows it, the people in Denver know it, the people all around the world know it: The Jet is more handsome than MJF, too! The fans cheer and MJF laughs it off, but Knight says that’s neither here nor there.
To the matter at hand, it sounds like Jet may even be a better world champion than MJF, too. So not only is The Jet the future, he is the here and now! The fans cheer but MJF looks confused. MJF says listen up, “you ignorant, arrogant child.” Knight thinks he’s a champion? He thinks he’s world championship material? He wants to tell MJF, #BigHebrew, how to do his job? No no no no no! Tell ya what, bud. Knight calls himself The Jet? Get on a jet, and fly on to El Paso, Texas. If Knight wants to be world champion, then MJF VS Knight Knight, El Paso, for the Triple B! The fans boo but MJF says no, MJF is glad Knight is smiling.
MJF promises to teach Knight a lesson. Yes, Knight is not the future, or even the now. After MJF’s done with him, all Knight will be is history. MJF mic drops and storms off, but will he regret giving The Jet this golden ticket? Or will MJF survive Dynamite in the Borderland?
AEW hears from Mark Briscoe, Tommaso Ciampa, and Jay Lethal.
The Sussex County Chicken tells the Psycho Killer, “Old buddy, man, I’m glad you finally here. Because you are exactly the type of hard-hitting individual that I love to share the ring with. Gimme a chance to get my win back, but don’t lose your focus. Tonight, you got another friend of mine in Jay Lethal.” Ciampa says the universe has a funny way of working itself out. Ciampa and Lethal, that’s a story has always felt unfinished. Lethal says he beat Ciampa for the ROH World TV Championship, it catapulted him into being The Franchise of ROH. But this time, on Collision, it’ll be another career highlight.
Ciampa says the shadow of the past comes back to haunt Lethal. This is his first step back to the TNT Championship. Briscoe says let’s get it! Which icon of honor stand tall, and perhaps even in line for Kyle Fletcher’s gold?
8 Man Tag: The Death Riders VS Don Callis Family!
While Jon Moxley will battle the NEW NJPW World Television Champion, Konosuke Takeshita, at Revolution, the rest of their team is going to battle it out in the biggest bout yet! Will CMLL World Heavyweight Champion, Claudio Castagnoli, lead Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta & PAC to another victory? Or will Josh Alexander, Lance Archer & Roppongi Vice remind us that #EverybodyDies?
Moxley is on commentary to say how he doesn’t like the Callis Family, what they stand for or how they operate. But at the same time, he acknowledges they’re a strong group, and this is turning into like the LA Lakers and Boston Celtics of old. Archer taunts Marina Shafir but she is stoic as Red Death starts against Rocky Romero. The bell rings, the two tie up, and they go around. Rocky waistlocks, Garcia wrenches to slip around and waistlock. Rocky powers Garcia back to ropes and the ref counts. Rocky lets off to give some Azucar Heat. The fans boo, Garcia runs up, but Rocky dodges the boot! Rocky kicks, Garcia ducks, then Garcia headlocks.
Rocky powers up and out, Garcia RUNS him over, but things keep moving, Rocky hurdles, but Garcia avoids the dropkick to basement DROPKICK! Garcia drags Rocky up, he tags Pac, and they double whip. They DOUBLE HIP TOSS, then Garcia adds a SLIDING FOREARM! Pac hits the STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Pac drags Rocky up, wrenches, but Rocky breaks free to tag Alexander. Pac tags Claudio, and now Swiss Cyborg and Walking Weapon meet again. They circle, feel things out, then Alexander kicks low to throw hands. Alexander headlocks, Claudio powers up, but they go around and around as Claudio tries to power out.
Alexander puts Claudio on ropes, but Claudio turns that around to whip Alexander. Claudio drops down, hurdles, but is caught! Claudio sunset flips, Alexander rolls through, but Claudio goes for legs! Alexander also goes for legs, but Claudio floats to a gut wrench! The fans cheer as Alexander flails, only for Claudio to GUT WRENCH PLEX! Alexander scrambles to ropes, and he tags in the Murderhawk Monster. The fans cheer as Archer talks trash on Claudio. Alexander then gets a cheap shot! Archer DECKS Claudio, puts him in the corner, and he fires hands! Alexander runs corner to corner to ELBOW!
Archer keeps going, he hits another ELBOW! And another ELBOW! Archer lets Claudio fall to his knees, then he tags Rocky. Rocky tags Trent, and RPG Vice double whip corner to corner. But Claudio comes back to DOUBLE LARIAT! Trent bails out, Rocky follows, and Yuta reaches out. Claudio tags Yuta in and the fans boo. The Decoder builds speed, but Alexander trips him! The fans cheer as Alexander goes for the beanie! But Pac BOOTS Alexander down! Trent ROLLINGN ELBOWS Pac down! Trent goes for the beanie! But Garcia SAIDOS Trent away! Rocky runs up but Garcia fires forearms! Rocky kicks, Garcia blocks, then Garcia ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL!
Yuta swings but Rocky slips around, and wants the beanie! Claudio GUT WRENCHES Rocky outta the ring! But Archer CROSSBODIES Claudio down! There’s a brawl going on outside the ring, and Archer guzels Yuta! The fans cheer as Archer grabs for the beanie! Yuta stops that by BITING Archer’s finger! Archer still lifts for the CHOKE- NO, Yuta counters with a DDT! The fans fire up as Yuta builds speed and FLIES out onto everyone anyway! The fans cheer, the Death Riders high five, and Claudio SMACKS Archer off the desk! Moxley makes sure commentary is alright, then Death Riders put Trent in.
Yuta hits a snap suplex on Trent, covers, TWO! Tag to Pac and they mug #JustTrent. Pac SOBATS, KICKS, SOBATS, then runs to DROPKICK Trent down! Trent flounders to a corner but Pac runs in, and he BOOTS Trent! Pac snapmares Trent to go up the corner, but Rocky anchors a foot! Pac BOOTS Rocky away, but Trent YANKS Pac into a SAIDO! The fans boo but Trent tags Rocky. Rocky goes up, Trent hangs Pac out to dry, and Rocky DROPKICKS Pac down! Trent adds a DROPKICK of his own! RPG Vice high-five, then Rocky does his soccer slide celebration while Collision goes picture in picture.
Trent drags Pac over to stand on his neck and choke him! The ref counts, Trent backs off, and Rocky bumps Pac off buckles. Tag to Alexander and he fires hands on Pac! Alexander digs his boot into Pac, but he backs off as the ref counts. This just lets the others choke Pac behind the ref’s back! Alexander then drags Pac out for a standing toehold. Pac endures, keeps his shoulders up, then kicks away at Alexander. Alexander lets go of the foot, but comes back to CLOBBER Pac! Cover, TWO! Alexander drags Pac up, kicks low, then bump shim off buckles. Tag to Archer and he brings Pac around to CHOP in a corner.
Archer looms over Pac, then stands him up to CHOP again! Archer bumps Pac off buckles, tags Alexander back in, and they mug The Bastard some more. Alexander soaks up heat before he drags Pac up, then bumps him off buckles. Tag to Rocky and Rocky stomps Pac. Rocky soaks up heat while Collision returns to single picture. Rocky stands on Pac while he pulls on on arm! The ref reprimands but Alexander tags in. Alexander bumps Pac off buckles, then he grinds Pac’s face with a forearm. The ref counts, Alexander RAMS Pac, then Alexander snapmares Pac for a chinlock. Pac endures, the fans rally, and Pac fights up to fire body shots!

Rocky kicks low, runs, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Pac is down again but the fans rally up again. Pac crawls, as does Alexander, hot tags to Trent and Claudio!

Claudio runs in but Archer TOSSES him! Archer then TOSSES Garcia! Yuta is about to lose the beanie again, but Claudio has a chair! The ref stops Claudio, but Marina slips in!

Winners: Death Riders, by pinfall

They were the highlight of the night for House Rules: Sydney, winning their AEW debut in their homeland of Australia! In fact, they were so happy that The Brawling Birds also made their tag team debut, but what Alex & Jamie did was just unacceptable! A big no-no. They tried to steal the spotlight? No no no! Ladies, you don’t have the balls to go face to face with The IInspiration! But they’ll make this easy: Grab your remotes, turn the telly on, and watch Dynamite as The IInspiration makes their TV debut in El Paso!
Now, ladies, you have three options: Step up, step back, or step aside for The IInspiration! POSE! Jessie & Cassie are All Elite, but will AEW soon be iconic?
AEW & The Dogs present…
Clark Connors wonders what’s true and what isn’t. He could tell you about every body he’s put his mark on, but would you believe him? 100 Proof knows how to fight dirty, and does it for a living. But you know what they say? No one ever truly wins in a fight. We’re getting to know Clark Connors a little better, but will he make his opponents wish they’d never met him?

Winners: Kazuchika Okada & Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall
The International & TNT Champions stand tall together, then Kyle grabs a mic. Kyle tells Denver, Colorado, “Say my full name! Now, Kyle Fletcher & Kazuchika Okada are the greatest champions in this company’s history! But now, together as Protokada, we are unstoppable! So whoever wants to step up to the two greatest champions-” Wait! JetSpeed walks back out here! Speedball double checks, Kyle thinks Protokada is unstoppable? Well, that could be true, if not for the fact that during the Continental Classic, Mike Bailey beat Kyle! And Kevin Knight beat Okada! So for them to come out here and say they’re the greatest champions in the company? The math isn’t really mathing.
Okada tells them that JetSpeed has never beaten Protokada! Kyle adds, “B***tch~!” Well, yeah, okay, that’s kinda funny, them doing the gag. But y’know what? Knight would love to see the match, this would be box office. And Okada, after Knight beats MJF for the world title, he’d love Okada to be his first defense. Bailey then brings up that Kyle has the “cow udder pink” title, so Bailey would love to beat him for that! So while they’re making matches, Jet Set Rodeo are THE AEW World Trios Champions, so they’d be more than happy to defend their belts against Protokada and any of the other 12 THOUSAND members of the Callis Family.
So make sure to choose wisely. Because the fact of the matter is that it won’t matter, the result will be the same. It is always Jet Set Rodeo on top, B*TCH! The many challenges have been issued, but how will this all shake out as we continue on the Road to Revolution?
AEW hears from Darby Allin & Orange Cassidy.
The Relentless One brings up what that Mad Man, Gabe Kidd, has been saying, about how this won’t be over until Darby’s pushing up daisies.

This story doesn’t end with him down, it will be Darby & Orange VS The Dogs! It’s SHOWTIME!

Hook speaks.
The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil starts his Opps recruitment pitch, saying everyone wants to join in. Hey, does this guy wrestle? Yeah, he does. Wanna join The Opps? Um, sure! Yeah, Hook bets he does. Idiot! Hook laughs and leaves that guy behind, but Anthony Bowens steps in. The 5 Tool Player says hello to Hook, and to “Shibata-san” behind the camera. But he understands they’re recruiting. He doesn’t know how many people know this, but Hook is one of Bowens’ best friends. Bowens has had Hook’s back since they both started here, so Bowens thinks it’d be a fantastic idea if he continued that by joining The Opps.
And if that’s not enough, they’d be adding a former AEW World Tag Team Champion, a former AEW World Trios Champion, and the Pride of Professional Wrestling. Hook does agree, they’re friends. And Bowens doesn’t need to sell himself to Hook. That is impressive. But this is business. The question is: Is Bowens a proper fit for The Opps? The Opps is a group of killers, from Shibata to Samoa Joe to Hook. Bowens… Killer? Let Hook think about it, and Bowens can think on that. The Opps head out, but will Bowens prove he can do more than just strike people out?

Andrade ROCKS Ishii in return! Ishii UPPERCUTS! Andrade goes to a corner, Ishii runs in, but into a clinch! BUCKLE SHOT! The fans are torn as Ishii slumps down. Andrade tries again, and he runs corner to corner for CIEN KNEES! Cover, TWO! Ishii survives and the fans are torn again! Andrade seethes as he stands again, and he goes to the corner. The fans rally as Andrade climbs up, up, and MOONSAULT DOUBLE! Cover, TWO!! Ishii survives again and Callis says that was tres, not dos! Andrade just grins as he still has the advantage. Andrade underhooks but Ishii wrenches free to ENZIGIRI! Andrade wobbles, Ishii runs, and LARIATS!
Ishii roars, he reels Andrade in, suplex and- NO, Andrade fights free! Ishii ROCKS Andrade, but the SHADOW ELBOW hits! Cover, TWO!! Ishii survives again and Callis is going nuts! But Andrade sends the DIRECT MESSAGE! Cover, Andrade wins!
Winner: Andrade El Idolo, by pinfall
The Stone Pitbull lived up to the name, but Andrade still found a way to break through! Callis celebrates with his amigo, his hermano, his familia, but wait! BANDIDO is here! The Outlaw applauds, and Andrade takes off the pants to reveal his yellow ring gear! These two will face off at Revolution in Los Angeles, but Bandido wants it to be one of respect. He offers a handshake, but Andrade SPITS on that hand. So now the handshake becomes a finger gun. Will Bandido take down the Real Latino Man? Or will Andrade get a win on the Most Wanted?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here as we build to Revolution, but I can’t be sure what’s going on with all these title stories. MJF of course ranted and complained, but that doesn’t exactly add anything. And then Kevin Knight calling MJF out was fine, and a little surprised El Paso is getting the title match that MJF is clearly going to win. Then after a great match of #Protokada VS Top Flight, JetSpeed calls them out as not just a tag team but also as the individual champions they are and as a trio with a random third to join them. I appreciate them remembering Knight and Bailey each got wins off these champions, but maybe they should’ve cashed these ideas in earlier so that it isn’t just all rushed right before Revolution.
We got a very good promo video from Briscoe, Ciampa and Lethal, but I feel like the Ciampa VS Lethal match should’ve been right after it for better flow. Instead, we got another Death Riders VS Don Callis Family match, though I did appreciate it was an 8 Man Tag this time. Ciampa VS Lethal was a great match, even with The Swirl getting involved to try and screw Ciampa over. Great stuff for Ciampa to overcome that, though, and he should definitely get the TNT Championship shot at Revolution for him and Kyle to run it back. We might even get Ciampa & Briscoe as a team real quick to help Ciampa build momentum and get Briscoe back in the win column.
Very good promo from The IInspiration, great to hear they’ve landed somewhere after leaving TNA, and they’ll clearly have a great feud with The Brawling Birds. The Birds didn’t have the cleanest match with their opponents tonight but that wasn’t the worst. Toni VS Zayda was good, but of course Toni won. This is a small thing, but I feel like Zayda VS Toni could’ve gone before Protokada VS Top Flight. Daniels shaking off Okada attacking him isn’t hard to believe, but it would also make sense if Daniels was down and out after Top Flight’s match. Marina & Yuta going after Toni was interesting, and I’m a little surprised Yuta got his hat snatched so soon. Toni VS Marina in a 1v1 for Revolution would go hard, though, and can definitely send the winner towards a title.
Rosa & Kris VS Sisters of Sin was very good as a tag match, and of course Rosa & Kris won. Very good promo from Thekla to call Rosa and Kris out, and I would think Thekla finds a way to win on Dynamite. It could be because Triangle of Madness interferes, it could be because Kris counters Triangle of Madness but accidentally costs Rosa, or Kris could flipflop right back to Heel and cost Rosa because she doesn’t want anyone else beating Thekla. I really hope it’s not that third idea, let it be one of the others, and then we can either do Thekla VS Rosa again, or even a Triple Threat of Thekla VS Rosa VS Kris for some really wild stuff.
Very good promo from Hook with Bowens, in that Bowens puts himself forward for The Opps and Hook doesn’t automatically accept. It was a logical move from Hook to question Bowens’ killer instinct, but also, where is the Bowens-Caster slow build to Acclaimed 2026? Will Caster weirdly try to join Opps and then they’re pitted against each other or something? Or perhaps Hook has them jump through hoops just to bring up guys from ROH or the indies, which then upsets Bowens & Caster and compels them to be Acclaimed once again.
Very good promo from all the teams in the $200K Fatal 4 Way, but like, can’t we just say that’s a tag title opportunity match? No one who has ever won the kayfabe cash prize has actually kayfabe splurged and shown off their new anything. Though, with this being the return match for Rush y Dralistico, maybe they should win. Then they can even be the kind of Heels that do show off that money. And while putting together Andrade VS Ishii was rather outta nowhere, it was still a great choice because that was a great main event match. Great win for Andrade to have momentum going towards Revolution, and good faceoff from him and Bandido to close out the show. The ROH World title is NOT on the line, which is fine, but it’s pretty clear Andrade is winning then.
My Score: 8.9/10
