8 Man Tag: The Acclaimed & FTR w/ Billy Gunn VS The Gunn Club & Swerve In Our Glory w/ The Firm!
While Max Caster & Anthony Bowens have the belts everybody wants in the AEW World Tag Team Championships, they and the THREE BELT CHAMPS, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood, are banding together to take on common enemies in Austin & Colten Gunn, as well as Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland. But with tensions running high, will Keith Lee be able to coexist with the “ASS~ BOYS~!” and his own tag partner?
But of course, Platinum Max has a diss track on deck! “Acclaimed on the mic, got the place goin’ crazy. Y’all’re ’bout to take more L’s than Tom Brady! Keith defending Swerve is awkward. He’s got the receipts like he’s Herschel Walker! I make you cry ’til your eyes are burnin’, I make you sorry like Kyrie Irving! When you say ‘Whose house?’ we gotta ax that noise. Because we’re dealing with two snakes and the Ass Boys!” Bowens says, “BOSTOOOOOON~! The Acclaimed have arrived!” And Billy Gunn hurries right past him to SPEAR Swerve! Billy throws down hands but FTR & The Acclaimed pull him back!
The Gunn Sons are furious and they get Swerve to safety, but Boston is thunderous for “Daddy Ass! Daddy Ass!” BJ Whitmer, on behalf of AEW management, hurries out to calm Billy down. Billy steps away but BJ tells him to go the back. Fans boo that Daddy Ass is ejected, but the teams sort out. Dax starts against Colten as fans still sing, “OH~ Scissor Me Daddy~!” Colten and Dax circle, tie up, and Colten puts Dax in the corner. The ref counts, Colten lets off but with a cheap shot! Colten stomps a mudhole, stops as the ref counts 4, and then he runs back in to DROPKICK Dax down! Colten talks trash but Boston boos him.

Keith tumbles out and fans fire up, as The Acclaimed SCISSOR FINGER~! But then the teams bump into each other, and are very jumpy!

AEW shares MJF’s comments from the Pardon My Take podcast.
The big question was of course, MJF hasn’t been seen on AEW TV since The Firm’s brutal attack, but he has the AEW World Championship match at Full Gear. How is he feeling? “After The Firm attacked me in a very cowardice fashion, doctors informed me that if I want to be 110% come Full Gear, I definitely shouldn’t be traveling on the road. And to be frank, the only thing I’m worried about is that match at Full Gear against Jon Moxley. See, this is the most important match in my entire career. But what I don’t think wrestling fans understand is this also possibly the most important match in the history of our sport. Allow me to explain why.
“This could be the potential crowning of the next face of the next generation of professional wrestling. Every once in awhile, every once in a blue moon, really, we see people that lead the charge of a generation and bring professional wrestling to new heights. Guys like Bruno Sammartino, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair. Guys like Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, The Rock, John Cena. All of these men were generational talents. And that is exactly who MJF is. So here’s what’s gonna happen: all I have to do to etch my name into history is to have a long, fruitful world title reign, and the only person that’s getting in my way is Jon Moxley.
“Now, I’m not gonna sit here, Big Cat, I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that Jon Moxley is an easy competitor to beat. I don’t like you, Jon. I think you’re a lowlife scumbag piece of s*it, I think you’re from the slums of Cincinnati, and I think you have absolutely no class, but I do respect you. Because Jon, you weren’t born to be a world champion. As a matter of fact, you were born with two left feet and not one single athletic bone in your body. However, I respect you because you had to work your ass off to become the man you are today. Blood, sweat, tears, sacrifices. You had to defy all the odds doing 15 hour drives to wrestle in front of 15 people for $15.
“And you did it over, and over, and over again, honing your craft until eventually, you did the damn near impossible, Jon Moxley, and you became the best professional wrestler on God’s green earth. But know this: Come November 19th, you’re about to lose that handle because I was born to not just be a professional wrestler, but to be the professional wrestler. I’m the guy who can come on the number one sports podcast in the world, Pardon My Take. I’m the guy who can do movies, TV shows, commercials, talk shows, and I can wave the flag of the AEW brand, and hell! I can wave the flag of pro-wrestling and bring pro-wrestling back to where it belongs, something that everyone is talking about.
“Every single wrestling fan, promoter, pundit and analyst is fully aware that that throne is for the taking, and I’m the one who’s going to take it. I am so sick of waiting my turn. Ever since I entered AEW, I have had to get the spotlight stolen from me in my big moments. My first-ever singles PPV match, the spotlight was on a neck tattoo. My first-ever world title shot, which was against you, Jon Moxley, when you cheated, the spotlight was on Matt Hardy taking a fall like Humpty Dumpty. The first-ever Blood & Guts match, I am standing atop of the cage, with a crimson mask. I had prevailed, that should’ve been my crowning moment. Instead, the spotlight was on Chris Jericho.
“Speaking of Chris Jericho, he stole the spotlight from me for a full calendar year. And then, on my big return, the spotlight was on a press conference. Know this, Jon. On November 19th at Full Gear in the Tristate Area, Newark, New Jersey, in the Prudential Center, I am not waiting for the spotlight anymore, I am grabbing it! And you are going to have to take it out of my cold, dead hands, Jon. Your boy, William Regal, bet on the wrong horse. I don’t need a diamond ring to knock your lights out. Cuz come Full Gear, the Devil gets his due.” Maxwell Jacob Friedman didn’t even need his catchphrase there. Will his actions prove he is better than Moxley, and he knows it?
Stokely Hathaway speaks.
“When Max and I were younger, I thought we wanted the same things: money; cars; clothes. But someone forgot where they came from. They wanted to be liked, they wanted that good ol’ fashioned pat on the back. And I thought that when my best friend would possibly win his first world championship, I would be by his side. But instead, he’s dick-riding Jon Moxley, and the worst crime you can commit is dick-riding without a license. So Max, I don’t need you. I don’t need my best friend. I can do this by myself. So win, lose or draw at Full Gear, I’ll see you in Hell, Max!”
AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament, Opening Round: Ethan Page w/ Stokely Hathaway VS Eddie Kingston w/ Ortiz!
Speaking of Full Gear, the tournament tradition is back again! And All Ego wants to be the one to make it to the end and get that golden ticket! Will Ethan be in New Jersey to watch Moxley VS MJF? Or will the Mad King break Ethan’s bracket right from the start?
The bell rings and Ethan circles with Eddie. Boston is fired up for Eddie, he and Ethan tie up, and Eddie puts Ethan in the corner. The ref counts, Ethan complains and Eddie lets off. Ortiz tells Ethan to stop complaining and get in there. Ethan and Eddie circle, feel things out, and they tie up. Eddie headlocks, fans duel, and Ethan powers up, only for Eddie to hold tight. Ethan fights up and he puts Eddie in a corner. The ref calls the ropebreak but Ethan throws body shots! Ethan throws haymakers but Eddie turns things around to CHOP! And CHOP! But Ethan ROCKS Eddie!

Eddie keeps on Ethan with a whip to the corner, but Ethan reverses, and Eddie hits buckles hard! Eddie flops out of the ring but Ethan goes out after him.
Ethan ROCKS Eddie with another forearm, then brings him around to suplex to the floor! Both men writhe and the ring count starts as AEW goes picture in picture.
Ethan stands and he stares Ortiz down. Ethan then goes to Eddie but Eddie CHOPS! And CHOPS! Eddie CLAWS Ethan’s face! The ref reprimands, Ethan lets off and he puts Eddie in the ring. Ethan runs to drop an elbow! Cover, ONE!! Ethan clamps onto Eddie with a chinlock and he leans on the hold. Eddie endures and fans rally up. Eddie fights up, he backs Ethan into buckles, and he gets free! Eddie runs in but Ethan BOOTS him away! Ethan goes up the ropes and leaps, into an ENZIGURI! Both men are down and Stokely is worried. Stokely coaches Ethan up but Eddie CHOPS! And CHOPS! And MACHINE GUN CHOPS!
Eddie CHOPS Ethan down, then steps on his face in the corner! Eddie goes side to side, but Ethan scoops him for a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Ethan is frustrated but he kicks Eddie around. Ethan JAMS his knee into Eddie’s back, and again, and again! Then he drops another elbow! Ethan shouts at the fans then pretends he can’t hear them. Ethan grins, blows a kiss and tells Boston to kiss his ass. Ethan stalks Eddie to ropes and CHOKES him! The ref counts, Ethan lets off at 4, and then Ethan drags Eddie up. Ethan reels Eddie in, but Eddie resists the lift! Dynamite returns to single picture as Eddie keeps fighting!
Eddie wrenches out to SAIDO! Cover, TWO!! Ethan survives and Stokely is relieved. Stokely says a quick prayer that Ethan get back in this but Boston rallies behind Eddie. Eddie sits Ethan up to throw a haymaker. Ethan returns the shot, but Eddie does, too. They go back and forth, haymakers and forearms back and forth! Eddie gets the edge, they both stand, and Ethan ROCKS Eddie with a forearm! Eddie haymakers, Ethan gets the edge with elbows! Eddie roars to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP! Then DDT! Cover, TWO!! Ethan is still in this and Eddie is surprised. Eddie drags himself up, snarls at Stokely, then hobbles after Ethan.
Eddie clinches but Ethan fights it. Ethan ROCKS Eddie with a big forearm! Ethan whips, Eddie reverse and clinches, EXPLODER! Ethan sits up in a daze but Eddie is right on him! Eddie steps over, hooks Ethan’s arm and head, for the STRETCH PLUM! But Stokely distracts the ref so that he doesn’t see the tap out! Eddie would’ve won! But Ortiz trips Stokely up! Stokely runs away, Eddie turns around into a BOOT! But Eddie stays up! But Ethan ducks the Uraken to ROUNDHOUSE! Eddie is dazed now and Ethan goes to a corner. Ethan climbs up, even as Eddie crawls. Eddie springs up to ROCK Ethan!

Winner: Ethan Page, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
The first man into the semifinals is All Ego! Rampage will feature Rush VS Bandido, who will meet Ethan in the next round?
Backstage interview with The Dark Order and La Faccion Ingobernable.
Speaking of Rush, he is with Jose the Assistant as Renee Paquette interviews them, Evil Uno, John Silver, Alex Reynolds & Preston Vance. This Friday is Rush VS Bandido in the Eliminator Tournament, but it seems LFI asked for this time to specifically talk to Vance. This is how it’s going to go: Rush will win the whole tournament, become AEW World Champion, so sorry Renee, and then, because Rush liked how Vance brought the fight and stays in shape consistently, Vance will receive the very first title shot from Rush. And while the rest of The Dark Order is here, Jose is telling the “bunch of clowns” that they are never, ever getting a shot!
Rush steps up to Vance and tells him to think about the offer. “Because Rush doesn’t give second opportunities, perro!” Silver tells the “Rush bag” to back off. Jose keeps Rush from tearing into the Meat Man, but will El Toro Blanco keep his word and give Number 10 that golden opportunity in the near future?
Ari Daivari & Jeeves Kay are in the ring.
Daivari Dinero says, “I have made a very lucrative offer for a certain member of the AEW roster. I am willing to offer the full services of my butler in exchange for the TNT Championship.” Jeeves is confused, he thought they were paying Wardlow off. Daivari tells Wardlow, “Think about this. You can go from being MJF’s servant, to having your very own. Oh how the tables have turned!” Wardlow makes his entrance, Samoa Joe by his side. It would seem the TNT Champion has found someone to answer the Open Challenge. Will Wardlow take Daivari up on the deal? Or will his counteroffer be a very painful one?
AEW TNT Championship Open Challenge: Wardlow w/ Samoa Joe VS Ari Daivari w/ Jeeves Kay!
The introductions are made, the belt is handed over and Wardlow shakes Daivari’s hand! Wardlow also shakes Jeeves’s hand, before he kicks him low and THROWS him out of the ring! Wardlow faked Daivari out! The bell rings, Daivari wants timeout, but fans chant, “YOU F’D UP! YOU F’D UP!” Daivari kicks but Wardlow blocks, and HEADBUTTS him! Daivari flops over and Wardlow smirks. Wardlow drags Daivari up, winds up, and LARIATS! Daivari flounders and fans fire up as Wardlow says it’s time. Wardlow brings Daivari up for a POWERBOMB! Fans want the encore, and Wardlow obliges!
Wardlow drags Daivari up, brings him back in, and he POWERBOMBS Daivari again! The fans keep on singing along to the symphony, and Wardlow brings Daivari up again! THIRD POWERBOMB! And then the roll through to the FOURTH! Cover, Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Wardlow kicks Daivari out of the ring and gets a mic to call out Will Hobbs! Wardlow wants Hobbs to show up right now! So here comes the Powerhouse! Hobbs asks, “You want me? That’s twice. We’re doing this on my time.” But Wardlow shouts on the mic, “Finally! Finally, I have a suitable opponent for my title. And thanks for coming out face to face like a man this time.” Wardlow is telling Hobbs now, Hobbs ain’t getting the TNT title, it is HIS, and will always be HIS! And for that matter, Wardlow is gonna take EVERY title in this company! Hobbs says no, they do this on Hobbs’ time.
But wait! JOE CLOBBERS WARDLOW! The ROH World Television Champion let the disrespect slide last week, but not this time! And then he clamps on the COQUINA CLUTCH!! Wardlow is turning red!! Fans are losing their minds as Wardlow fades out!! Hobbs is intrigued, and then Joe grabs both belts! Hobbs says he’ll kick both their asses, but Joe tells Wardlow to get a good night’s sleep. Will these three behemoths battle for both those belts to be THE face of AEW television?
Backstage interview with Jade Cargill & The Baddies.
Renee is the AEW TBS Champion, as well as her girls, Leila Grey & Kiera Hogan, and notes how Nyla Rose is still taunting Jade with the TBS title belt. But now, it is official, at Full Gear, we will see Jade VS Nyla for the TBS Championship. How will that go? Jade says she’s “gonna handle Nyla’s ass at Full Gear.” And Nyla is still parading around with Jade’s belt, declaring an open challenge! Jade is sick of it! If Nyla wants to be in Boston for Rampage, then Jade will handle her this Friday! Jade heads out, Kiera & Leila hurry after, but will the Native Beast and her Vicious Vixens see them coming?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
And he says it is time for a face-to-face! Welcome first, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD! The Dentist refused to join Renee and Saraya for a sit-down interview last week, because she wants to do this her way. Britt goes to the ring to join Schiavone, and then Schiavone welcomes Saraya! #THERevolution makes her way out now and joins Schiavone and Britt in the ring, and everyone has a mic. Schiavone starts by saying Saraya had something she wanted to tell all of us, including Britt, in person. Here we are, so what is the news? Saraya says first, she bets the fans are really wondering about “it.” Is Saraya cleared to wrestle or not?
Saraya will let us know that a couple weeks ago, she got MRIs, X-rays, CT scans, and unfortunately… for Britt… Saraya is 100 CLEARED!! Fans are thunderous to learn Saraya’s back for real! Saraya says AEW is HER HOUSE!! Britt frowns and says, “Well, is there anything more fickle than an AEW fan? So, you’re cleared? What does that even mean? Do you still know how to do this?” Britt says they aren’t cleared. Saraya has been coming after Britt since she first got here, and why is that? Britt thinks she has it, so let’s see if this is clear. “I built AEW from the ground up until it became a fortress that wrestlers like you. No, that superstars like you wanted to move into. And I’m damn proud of that!”
Fans chant for “DMD!” for what she did do, but Britt continues. “But that pride turned into resentment very quickly when you had the audacity to skip in here and call it your house. Because it’s funny. I don’t recall you laying a single brick. And I understand, I finally get it. I know why you’re obsessed with me. It’s because I am everything you wish you could have been. And, if you think I’m lying, if you think that’s not true, let me remind you… You left your house and walked into mine. And Saraya, I regret to inform you that we don’t take walk-ins. So bitch, make an appointment!” Fans fire up as Britt snaps back.
Saraya says it’s so cute Britt puts herself on a pedestal consider she was handed a position by Tony Khan. She then got fed a bunch of QT’s trainees, and has only be in front of the camera for three years, when Saraya’s been in this business for 30, 17 professionally. So Britt doesn’t know what it takes to be a superstar! Britt doesn’t know what it takes to even be a STAR! Saraya traveled up and down the UK and all around Europe for free because she loves this business! She got hit by a CAR and wrestled the same day because she loves this business! She handed out resumes to promoters and turned down, for the sheer fact that she was female.
Britt has no idea what it takes to make it. Saraya was starting revolutions before they were a trend, and before wrestling was a twinkle in Britt’s eye! Saraya has done Madison Square Garden, the O2, and the Tokyo Dome! “And now I’m in front of an ungrateful BITCH!” Britt doesn’t know what it takes! Saraya has been publicly humiliated in front of millions of people. She battled a drug addiction, publicly. And she’s given her career and her neck for this business. Britt doesn’t have a clue what it takes to make it. But here we go! Here’s another opportunity handed to Britt on a silver platter. This is Saraya’s comeback story, and Britt’s biggest match ever.
Saraya says it will be Saraya VS Britt 1v1, AT FULL GEAR!! Mic drop! Britt is speechless for once but Boston is fired up! But then Britt swings on Saraya! Saraya dodges, mule kicks, and she scoops Britt for the RAMPAIGE!! “THIS IS MY HOUSE~!!” The Revolution is back, will she prove to the DMD that she is NOT the Face of AEW?
AEW goes backstage with Jay Lethal and friends.
Lexi Nair is on the scene as Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh thanked QT Marshall and the Factory for the assist. Not only that, but Cole Karter earned every dollar in this envelope for pulling off the fake Sting trick. Lethal assures them, it’s all there, they don’t have to check it. But QT still does, and he gives Karter his cut. Pleasure doing business. Next time will be half off. Nice! But oh, well! Laugh it up, says Danhausen! He points at them all for ruining Danhausen’s Halloween! And then Lee Johnson had to go and join this “goon squad of bad people!” Orange Cassidy tells Big Shotty to not hit his friends.
QT says hold on, they’re not fighting back here. The Factory fights in the ring. So since Cassidy loves putting the All-Atlantic Championship on the line, put it on the line against Lee Johnson this Friday! No problem. See you then. As for Trent, he says, “Sup, scumbags?” to Lethal and friends. What was that? Who’s he talking to? Trent steps closer. “I said, ‘What’s up, scumbags?'” Oh, he thinks they’re scumbags! Well, wanna do something about it? Yeah! They can fight tonight on Dynamite! See you out there. Lethal and his friends seem confused, but will Lethal be able to take the fight to #JustTrent?

The scumbags help each other again and Lethal comes out on top! Schiavone waits for them on stage to interview them about that. Sonjay grabs the mic to tell Schiavone to shut up and sit back down! Did you see what Sonjay did last week? HE runs this place! So sit down! Sonjay says he promised a huge surprise and he delivered! Their good friend, the Hall of Famer, the legendary JEFF JARRETT! Double J makes his entrance, guitar in hand. Jeff gets the mic to say, “That’s right! After over a million views of the debut of the Last Outlaw, it’s very apparent. The question is, why is the Last Outlaw in AEW?”
Fans mouth off and Jeff tells them to shut the hell up! Jeff will tell us why he’s here! “When a friend calls, a friend shows up. And that’s exactly what Jeff Jarrett did. I showed up to help and put a plan together, and we started last week. You probably wondering how the four of us guys are connected, I’m gonna tell ya. This guy right here, Jay Lethal, I signed him to his very first contract. He’s oozed machismo his entire career. He’s got wins over the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, Sting, and yes, he even became a Grand Slam Champion in ROH. Sonjay Dutt has an IQ of 181. Do I need to say anymore? We have taken over promotions all over the globe!
“And Satnam. C’mon up here, Satnam. This is a legit 7’5″ GIANT! Cameraman, start at his feet and pan up, slow pan. This isn’t no make-believe monster who wears red skinny jeans and is produced by the banana nosed circus. This guy is one in a billion! Why’s he one in a billion? That’s the name of his Netflix special! He’s the only player in the history of the NBA, the history of the National Basketball Association, to be born and bred in India! So Sting, Darby Allin, you here? I’m calling you out! Darby, we put you in a body bag last week. Sting, we’re gonna put you in a body bag. We’ll take you on. Are you winding me up?” The production crew is trying to have Jeff wrap!
“Don’t you EVER wind me up! Do you understand me? I’m putting the challenge out right now. Tonight on Dynamite, next week on Dynamite, or Full Gear! Don’t ever wind me up again, do you hear me?!” Jeff then starts chasing the guy with his guitar!! Sonjay has Jeff cool off. But will the Last Outlaw give AEW another smash hit when he sees The Icon?
Backstage interview with “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry.
Renee says the tensions continue to mount between him and Luchasaurus. JB cost Luchasaurus the All-Atlantic Championship last week, but where do they stand now? JB says the last thing he heard from Luchasaurus and Christian Cage is that they’re done with him. They’re moving on to bigger and better. But y’know what? Christian doesn’t get to decide when this is over! What happened last week was just the beginning when JB left Luchasaurus laying in a pile of wood. Renee says Full Gear is just around the corner, so what does that mean?
JB can’t wait for Full Gear. He has a challenge for Christian & Luchasaurus. But unlike them, JB does his business face to face. He’ll tell them the challenge on Rampage this Friday! Just what will Jungle Boy have in mind for the men who betrayed him?
Jon Moxley is here!
The Maniac AEW World Champion makes his way through the crowd and heads to the ring, William Regal by his side. Moxley then gets the mic to say, “Sir William Regal, how old was I when we first me? 25? 26? Something like that. Back then, I was young and full of piss and vinegar, I didn’t have crippling arthritis yet, I could move around pretty good. I really thought I knew it all. I really thought I had it all figured out. And I loved to talk trash, as you remember. I kept running my mouth over and over. I wanted to be just like you (Regal). Feared and respected. I wanted to be a real top guy in professional wrestling.
“So to prove myself to you, to get my respect, I tried to pick a fight with you. And that did not go well. That did not go well at all. You tortured me. You physically tortured me, brutalized me, kicked the hell out of me, and it pissed me off cuz I found out exactly where I was on the food chain. And it drove me to work harder, and train harder, and to grow and evolve, and one day come back and get my revenge. And when I got another shot at you, I made it count. If you remember, I knocked you out with a knee to the face and ripped your ear off the side of your head. You do remember that.” Regal nods, he definitely remembers.
Moxley says Regal then told him, as he finally took Moxley under his wing, “And now the real work begins.” Moxley says, “Who does that young, impetuous kid remind you of, Sir William?” Regal nods, knowing where Moxley is going with this. “It reminds us of young Maxwell Jacob Friedman, whom I will face at Full Gear for the AEW World Championship. Now I first wrestled MJF well over a year ago. Probably the Summer of 2020, he challenged me for the AEW World Championship, and he though the had it all figured out back then. He thought that this was his time.
“So I beat the hell out of him, I bloodied him up, and I sent him packing. I let him know exactly where he stood in the pecking order. But now, all these months later, he’s come back around again for another shot. So the question is, what’s gonna be different this time? I mean, who is MJF? It’s hard to figure out. He seems to be having some kind of existential identity crisis right now. Who exactly is MJF? We know the MJF that he shows to the world. He dresses very nice, he wears a fake diamond ring, he wears the clothes his mom bought for him at JCPenney. He wants to put on the air of somebody rich and successful.
“He talks the talk of a big time world champion pro-wrestler, the kind he wants to be. But dude, I actually am a multimillionaire, multi-time world champion, so you can’t fool me. I ain’t buying it. He calls himself a pillar, even though he has no idea what it feels like to have any weight on his back. What’s more amusing is MJF calls himself, ‘The Devil.'” Regal pretends to be scared for like a second, then he smirks with Moxley as they chuckle over that. MJF says he’s the Devil of AEW. “Dude, I have seen the devil. I have met the devil, I have looked into his eyes. I have met some very bad people, been some very bad places, seen some bad people do some very bad things. Dude, you are not that. You are not that at all.
“And I want you, as William Regal wants you, to fulfill your potential one day and put this company on your back. We are, after all, teachers. You can do your song and dance in the lead up to Full Gear, you can talk trash, your dog ‘n’ pony show. I’m not worried about that at all. I’m worried about what you got in your guts, because I’m gonna bring it outta ya. When you step into the ring in your hometown in Newark, New Jersey at Full Gear, just remember one thing: Everything you’ve done up to this point has been easy.” Mic drop! The Blue Eyed Battler puts it all on Maxwell Jacob Friedman, will the Salt of the Earth be worth his salt?
Another video where The Elite disappear.
But it’s also part Full Gear steampunk aesthetic. A montage of all the things Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks have done in AEW, both in and out of the ring, online and in person, even before AEW was formed, and even before The Elite were pro-wrestlers. Everything is converging at Full Gear!! What happens to All Elite Wrestling when The Elite finally returns?
AEW hears from Bryan Danielson and Sammy Guevara.
The Spanish God says Bryan knows Sammy has his number. “Bryan knows damn well that if Sammy Guevara and Bryan Danielson get in the ring again, it’s going to be different.” The American Dragon says “It always impresses me when the younger talent steps into the ring with me after I’ve kicked their head in, and they want to fight me again.” Bryan tells Sammy that his face will represent the disrespect that Bryan has felt from Chris Jericho and the way he treats the ROH World Championship. It is the disrespect from Daniel Garcia after everything Bryan put into him to show him that he is a WRESTLER! The DISRESPECT from Wheeler Yuta!!
ALL that disrespect is going to be put right into Sammy’s face tonight when Bryan kicks his head in!! The classic from two weeks ago gets one hell of a rematch! Who wins two out of three falls to put things to rest between American Dragon and Spanish God?
Jamie Hayter w/ Britt Baker & Rebel VS Skye Blue!
Britt Baker handled The Coach, Madison Rayne, and now the #1 contender to the Interim AEW Women’s World Champion looks to handle The Student! Will Hayter turn Skye black ‘n’ blue before going after Toni Storm? Or will Skye stop the hate before Full Gear?

Skye whips, Hayter holds ropes then bails out! Skye hurries out after her to ROCK her! Hayter ROCKS Skye back, then whips her into railing! Hayter scoops Skye, but Skye slips off to POST Hayter!

Hayter whips Skye to ropes then CLOBBERS her! Hayter covers, TWO! Hayter clamps onto Skye with a facelock and grinds her down. Skye endures, fans rally up, and Skye fights up. Skye throws body shots but Hayter throws her down by her hair! The ref reprimands and Hayter “apologizes.”
Hayter stomps Skye around, stands on Skye’s head, and tosses her own hair and fans herself off while the ref counts. Hayter steps away at 4 to drag Skye up and throw her out! Skye tumbles to the floor, Hayter shouts at Storm and the ref is distracted again. Britt taunts Skye then Hayter goes out to fetch her. Hayter puts Skye in the ring, takes her time returning, and then she stomps Skye around. Hayter CLUBS Skye down, drags her up, and CLUBS her again! Hayter stands on Skye’s hair but Skye swipes at her. Hayter steps away, drags Skye up and CLUBS her again. Hayter drags Skye up again, but Skye fires off forearms!
Dynamite returns to single picture and Skye fires off! Hayter pulls hair! Skye ducks the haymaker to run and SHOTGUN! Fans fire up and Skye runs in, but Hayter puts her on the apron. Skye ROCKS Hayter first, then rushes Britt! Britt moves so Rebel takes the PENALTY KICK! Skye SUPERKICKS Britt, then she GAMANGIRIS Hayter! Skye goes up, CROSSBODIES and covers, TWO! Hayter is still in this but Skye keeps her cool. Skye drags Hayter up but Hayter kicks low and scoops. Skye slips off, full nelsons, but Hayter breaks to switch! Ripcord, HATE- NO, Skye ducks to roll Hayter. Hayter blocks the kick and spins Skye, but Skye SLIDING-GIRIS!
Hayter wobbles, Skye runs, and she hops on to CODE BLUE!! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives and Skye is shocked! Fans rally and duel as Hayter stirs. Skye pleads with the ref about the count, but Hayter rolls her up! TWO!!! Hayter ROCKS Skye with a right! Hayter fires off more forearms on Skye, but Skye ROCKS Hayter back! Hayter DECKS Skye!

Hayter blocks Skye’s bulldog, to ripcord and HATEMAKER!! Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
And Hayter adds on by stomping Skye! Storm rushes in and runs Hayter off! But in the end, big bully Jamie has a win, and she’s red hot going into Full Gear! Will #ToniTime run out? Or will the Lightning From Down Under strike down a former friend?
AEW hears from Brian Cage and Dante Martin.
The Machine tells the #INHUMAN Angel Dorado that he is excellent and phenomenal, a true high-flyer and a once in a generation athlete. But unfortunately, Brian Cage is a once in a lifetime athlete. Dante may be excellent, but he’s not better than Cage. No one is. But Dante says, “The bigger they are, the harder they fall. And this week, you’re gonna figure that out, Brian Cage. Because you’re gonna figure it out at the hands of the Inhuman Dante Martin. I’ll see you on Rampage.” Cage says all Dante is, is “one small step on the Path of Cage to becoming the NEW AEW World Champion. Because I’m not a man, I’m a MACHINE!”
Strength takes on speed in the World Title Eliminator Tournament, which wins out to move to the semifinals?
Backstage interview with Ricky Starks.
At least, that’s what Alex Marvez was hoping for but then Lance Archer says, “You wanna talk to Pretty Ricky Starks? Well this is your chance.” He’s holding Starks up by his hair! Archer throws Starks down and says, “I’ve got a very simple message. It’s that everybody dies!” He then dribbles Starks’ head off the garage door! “EVERYBODY DIES! Everybody in this tournament dies! This isn’t yours to win, it’s mine!” The Murderhawk Monster leaves Ricky Starks in an absolute mess! Will Archer crush Starks’ dreams to fulfill his own?
BREAKING NEWS for Full Gear!
After being called out by Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett, Darby Allin & Sting accept! It will be a tag match as the #RelentlessIcons return to action against the #LethalOutlaws!

And while Full Gear will have a Fatal 4 Way for the ROH World Championship, the American Dragon accepted the Spanish God’s challenge to settle things 1v1!

And the American Dragon slays the Spanish God! This was wild with just these two! How much more insane will it be when you add Claudio Castagnoli and #THEOCHO, Chris Jericho, to the mix?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for AEW, and with just the go-home next week, they got a lot done here tonight to fill the Full Gear card. Because for one, AEW loves to load a ton of matches onto their PPVs. A great opener from the 8 Man Tag, and there was a brief moment of Keith being reluctant, but that’s the seed planted for the Swerve In Our Glory team falling apart against The Acclaimed. Likewise, FTR and Gunn Club are all but ready to fight over the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Maybe they stretch that out to be for ROH Final Battle as the big return for ROH to PPV. Acclaimed retain, but I feel like there will be Firm shenanigans that cost FTR.
Speaking of The Firm, a great start to the World Title Eliminator Tournament with Ethan VS Eddie, and a big win for Ethan. Stokely also had a good promo dissing MJF, but that was rough placement having it follow MJF’s long but great promo taken right from his podcast appearance. Moxley also had a great response promo, both guys are red hot going into the title match. I know there’s still the possibility that MJF is just setting up a huge swerve and The Firm rejoin him, but I would rather he just cheat all on his own so that he technically proves he can win on his own. Otherwise, it’s as bad as Daniel Garcia going right back to the JAS, but on an even larger scale.
We got good promos from other World Title Eliminator Tournament entrants, such as Cage and Dante’s. But I did like that Rush still ties in his story with Vance, so there’s still the possibility of seeing Rush VS Vance 1v1 as we’ve been waiting on since it was supposed to be Andrade VS Vance 1v1, but who knows when. Rush VS Bandido is going to be awesome and either guy could win that. Cage VS Dante feels like Cage’s win, but it’d be cool if Dante won. And Archer attacking Starks before an interview even happens was a good surprise, but I’m thinking this sets Starks up to win their match. As it stands, Starks and Ethan feel like the finalists for Full Gear.
Seems Daivari’s gimmick isn’t just using money to recruit people, but thinking money can buy him titles. He of course gets whooped by Wardlow, but this segment was more about Wardlow’s rage and ego getting the better of him before Samoa Joe just lets him have it. I hope we get a Winner Takes All Triple Threat between Wardlow, Joe and Hobbs because duh, it’s right there, just do it. Hobbs can be opportunistic in his win so that the odd man out is still strong, and then we can get a 1v1 story after that. Then Final Battle can have just the ROH World TV Championship, the double champ defending against whoever they want.
Pretty good promo from Cargill calling out Nyla, and that’s pretty funny that Nyla is having an open challenge for a title she doesn’t rightfully possess. Nyla is of course winning that, but it’s great story to tease that someone could take the title off Nyla to face Jade instead. Good stuff set up with Best Friends and a few Heel factions. Cassidy VS Lee Johnson will be a good title match but another win for Cassidy. Trent VS Lethal was good stuff but of course Lethal’s friends help him win. And I like that we’re getting Lethal & Jarrett VS Darby & Sting, that’ll be a very fun tag match. I’m pretty sure Jarrett’s team cheats to win since they have Sonjay & Satnam to distract.
Good promo from Jack Perry to call out Christian & Luchasaurus, and I’m wondering what this secret challenge will be. Can’t be a tag match, Christian’s arm is still healing, and I can’t picture anyone that could counter Luchasaurus. Maybe it’ll be a match type that is meant to keep Christian from getting involved, but Christian will find a way, only for it to fail. JB has to win this one to justify the story continuing until Christian is 100% again, and then JB VS Christian is the blow-off. And we got a very good match out of Hayter VS Skye, with Skye looking strong, but of course Hayter wins to build momentum towards her match with Storm.
Sadly, the women’s title is taking a backseat to Saraya VS Britt, and perhaps through no fault of their own. Saraya and Britt had a great promo together, with Britt making good points, but Saraya just tearing Britt apart. Hopefully Saraya really is cleared to have a full on match, and maybe they can book this to not be too rough. It’ll be great just for the fact it’s happening, and as I’ve been saying, Saraya has to win this one. And then the main event was awesome stuff, practically PPV worthy in itself. It was clever that Sammy gave Bryan the first fall with that disqualification to then get the next fall. In the end, Bryan wins out, which was a bit of a surprise, but also makes sense. But at the same time, I feel like this means Bryan does not win the Fatal 4, and we see if Sammy hands the win to Jericho.
My Score: 8.8/10

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

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

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

Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived!

The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?

And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title!

Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.
Mariah drags Anna up, for a SAIDO! Mariah then positions chairs before she fireman’s carries Anna. MADAYÂ on a chair! Cover, TWO!?! Anna survives and Mariah is furious! Mariah grits her teeth as she drags Anna up and reels her in. Anna fights free, kicks low, then has the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB onto the ladder!! The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first! Mariah bumps Anna off buckles, then SUPSER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS through the table!! Cover, TWO?!?! Anna survives and Mariah cannot believe it! But this is what winning the title with no safety net means for Anna! Mariah goes out, looks under the ring, and she brings out spare railing!?
Mariah pushes the railing into the ring, but she also brings some chairs over. Mariah sets the chairs up before she props the railing up like a ramp. Mariah adds more chairs, but Anna hits a BACKSTABBER first! Both women are down again, but Anna grabs herself some chairs. Anna finishes the project Mariah was working on, and the railing is now a platform! Anna drags Mariah over but Mariah HEADBUTTS first! Mariah then puts Anna on the railing, and looks to go through with her plan all along! The fans fire up as Mariah climbs, but Anna trips her up first!

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

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

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

The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim.

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

Daivari survives but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe drags Daivari up, reels him in, but Daivari fights the underhooks! Daivari wrenches, dodges a lariat, and SUPERKICKS! Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
With the confrontations we’ve seen from them all, we see Will Ospreay join forces with Will Hobbs, Mark Davis & Ricochet against Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Brian Cage & Lance Archer! It’s the full Don Callis Family against the Aerial Assassin, the Powerhouse, Dunkzilla and The One & Only in an All Star 8 Man Tag! Which side will have all the momentum going into Full Gear?
Rocky Romero VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!
Rampage returns and the bell rings. The fans rally as Azucar and Commander of the Skies circle, but Montel Vontavious Porter is watching backstage…? Who business could MVP and The Hurt Syndicate have here? Rocky and Komander tie up, Komander wrenches and wristlocks. Rocky rolls then DROPKICKS! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, then waits on Komander. The two reset, circle, and tie up again. Rocky waistlocks, SLAMS, then flips Komander, maybe a little too much. Rocky flips Komander over again but Komander kips up to arm-drag! Komander gives some Latino Heat of his own, and Rocky can’t help but smile.
The fans rally as Komander and Rocky feel things out. They knuckle lock, go shoulder to shoulder, and the fans cheer the Test of Strength. Rocky powers Komander back, then MONKEY FLIPS! Rocky rolls back but Komander blocks the mount to then go up and MONKEY FLIP back! It’s a double cover, TWO as both men bridge! The fans cheer this exchange, and the two roll to their feet. Komander kicks one knuckle lock apart to then go up and ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! Rocky is back up fast, and he hurdles, drops under, then hurdles again.

Rocky brings Komander up to CLUB him down. Rocky then stalks Komander, CLUBS him again, and stalks him to ropes. Rocky brings Komander into a waistlock, but shoves him to ropes to ROCK him in the back! Komander drops to his knees, but Rocky stands him up. Rocky shoves and ROCKS Komander again! Cover, TWO! Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!
Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall
MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back.

Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10.

Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
