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!

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?

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!!

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.

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?

Fans fire up with Trent and he hauls Lethal up to Alabama Lift! But Sonjay distracts! Trent has to drop Lethal from the bad knee giving up!
Danhausen gets up on the apron to shout at Sonjay, but Satnam climbs up behind him! Danhausen turns around to see the giant! So Danhausen builds up his power! Sonjay turns him around, no cursing the giant! DICK PUNCH to Sonjay!! Satnam HEADBUTTS Danhausen! Trent DROPKICKS Satnam! Satman hops down to the floor, Lethal mule kicks Trent! Lethal fireman’s carries to FLAPJACK, and then LETHAL INJECTION! Cover, Lethal wins!

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?

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.

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!

The battle of Blackpool Combat Club and Jericho Appreciation Society continues! 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

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
Darby Allin made the save for Will Ospreay against Claudio Castagnoli, and Ospreay just wanted a second to talk. Ospreay says if Darby didn’t make that save, Ospreay wouldn’t be finishing this tournament. So just a quick one, Ospreay appreciates it and he thanks Darby very much. Darby says he just has this feeling. The same exact feeling that he had when Bryan Danielson got taken out. The same exact feeling he had when Chuck Taylor was taken out. Something is gonna happen again unless they all do something about it, so what is Ospreay willing to do? Darby says they can just find the Death Riders and put an end to this!
Ospreay says easy, now, tiger. But Darby says something is going to happen unless they do something! Ospreay understands, but can’t Darby see Ospreay’s got bigger things going on? He lost at WrestleDream, he lost at Full Gear, that’s back-to-back PPV loses and that does not happen to Ospreay. He has to regain momentum, and that means going through every single person in this tournament, and that includes Darby. Darby says that’s cute. Darby doesn’t care about Ospreay’s personal problems, or anyone else’s, because this is bigger than all of them. This is about AEW. Next year, there might not even be a Continental Classic if they don’t stop this now.
Doesn’t Ospreay see it? The Death Riders will keep chipping away and chipping away at everything that makes AEW what it is. So what is Ospreay doing? What is he doing about it? Ospreay is trying to win this tournament! He needs his momentum back. He can’t just drop everything. Ospreay needs this! So he’ll tell Darby this as a man who respects Darby: Ospreay respects everything Darby’s doing for AEW, but Ospreay needs his momentum. Then maybe afterwards, knock on his door. If Darby needs someone to fight alongside him, Ospreay’s game. See you next week. Ospreay heads out, but will either of them make it to the Holiday Bash?

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

Kazuchika Okada and Beast Mortos speak.
“Beast Mortos.” Mortos ROARS, but Okada says, “No. B*tch Mortos.” The Rainmaker has some strong words for the menacing minotaur, but will Mortos make sure the Continental Champion does NOT make it to Worlds End?

Brody King speaks.
“When I think of the Continental Classic, I think of prestige, I think of respect. Cowards take the easy way out. Ricochet, you are a coward.” Brody is referring to Ricochet exposing a top turnbuckle and then using it against Brody. Brody says, “I have no respect for you.”
Claudio Castagnoli speaks.
“Some of my colleagues, they would be angry that they lost. I’m also not losing sight of the bigger picture. They would trade victory for success. They would rather win 100 matches than win the war.”
Strong words from two of the physically strongest men in this tournament, but to Claudio’s point, the war is not over as the round robin continues on. Will either Brody or Claudio make comebacks before we reach Worlds End?

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Reporters caught up with Mariah May to ask her about the return of Toni Storm, and Mariah said she DGAF! What happened to Toni is the same thing that happened to Mina, and it will be the same thing that happens to Thunder Rosa. Every single woman Mariah steps in the ring with has their hopes and dreams, and then they wish they were never born. Mina should just go back to modeling, because her wrestling career as she knows it is over. Mariah didn’t want to do that to Mina, she still loves Mina. But this is just what Mariah does, and will continue to do to any girl that wants to breathe the same air as her. No one can handle the Woman from Hell.
Rosa can go and yell about whatever bat s*it crazy BS she wants, Rosa just needs to name a time and place for Mariah to end her career! As for every other woman in AEW, or any other company, you all have the same dream. But there is only one reality. The Glamour has spoken, but will it fall on deaf ears?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Tony Schiavone is with La Mera Mera and brings up Mariah’s comments. Rosa says time and place? March 16th, 2022, San Antonio, Texas, the time and place Rosa won the AEW Women’s World Championship and knew what she was made of. But it doesn’t matter who you ae when you hold the title! What matters is who you are when you aren’t. And Rosa knows in her heart that she is THE champion, for the people and for all of Women’s Wrestling! And that is something Mariah cannot say! And Mariah is cleaning up a mess with her ex-bestie, Toni Storm, but Rosa has a place reserved for Mariah in Hell!
Speaking of Toni Storm, she walks in and says hello, nice to meet everyone. Oh, sorry, she didn’t mean to interrupt. Hi, she’s Toni Storm, she just wanted to introduce herself. They shake hands and Storm says it is a pleasure to meet Thunder Rosa, as well as the living legend, Tony Schiavone. Okay, sorry, she’ll let you all get back to what you were doing. Rock on! Toni heads out and Rosa lets that… odd interaction go. Rosa tells Mariah that in two weeks, her father will be in the audience to see his daughter fight. And she told him to bring a handful of dirt from the graveyards of Tijuana to remind Rosa where she comes from, and where she’s taking Mariah.
So it will be December 28th, 2024, Worlds End! Rosa VS Mariah for the AEW Women’s World Championship, in a TIJUANA STREET FIGHT!! La Mera Mera has spoken, will she bury Mariah in the gave Mariah has dug for herself?

Mansoor sputters but Truth tags Garcia. Garcia climbs up, he rains down fists, and he goes to nine, puts up his dukes, and he dances on Mansoor’s face! Garcia’s pick-up team is feeling it, and so is St. Louis, while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as Komander tags in, but Nese & Daivari run up to mug him and The Outrunner! They toss out Turbo & Truth, then TOSS Komander to the corner! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!” But then Garcia & Cassidy drag Nese & Daivari out of the ring! They brawl, Nese THROWS Garcia into railing while Daivari DECKS Cassidy! Komander is up and he builds speed, but Sterling trips him up! The fans boo but the ref missed that because Mansoor is distracting him! Komander grabs Sterling by the tie and the fans fire up, but Daivari CLOBBERS Sterling! The fans boo more but Daivari puts Komander on the apron.
Nese is on the apron and he suplexes Komander up and in for Woods, who then holds Komander up. Mason runs in, BOOT POWERBOMB COMBO!! Mansoor is up top now, FROG SPLASH!! Woods covers, Team Garcia all breaks it up! The fans fire up but now it’s a brawl! Team Garcia and the #PremierCollection all tumble out, Mason & Mansoor get Cassidy up! Cassidy fights the Centerfold, and Garcia slides in so he can SAIDO Mansoor! Mason HEADBUTTS Garcia! Cassidy tilt-o-whirls to DDT Mason! Cassidy kips up, the fans fire up, and Cassidy DIVES onto Mansoor! Cassidy sends Mansoor to a corner for Garcia to SHOTGUN!
The fans are thunderous as Koamnder is up top! Tightrope walk, for the SPACEMAN SWANTON! And he tags Cassidy on the way! Cassidy throws off the elbow pad, takes aim at Woods, but Sterling gets on the apron! Cassidy ORANGE PUNCHES Sterling!! Then he dodges Woods, ORANGE PUNCH!! Cover, Team Garcia wins!
Winners: Daniel Garcia, Orange Cassidy, Komander & The Outrunners, by pinfall
The team celebrates, that was a Freshly Squeezed victory! But while this was a big win and a lot of fun, it is time to focus on Worlds End. Will Garcia make his way out of the league to head for the Continental Championship? Will Cassidy overcome the Fatal 4 Way odds to finally be THE AEW World Champion?
Don Callis speaks.
“I had a bad night last night. A couple of turncoats who used to be under my employ, ‘Powerhouse’ Hobbs and Mark Davis, did a little switcharoo, a little number on the Don Callis Family. I woke up today with a hole in my heart because of that, but then I got fantastic news. The gods have smiled upon me because I am getting, in two week’s time, at Worlds End, I am getting my revenge on Powerhouse Hobbs. That’s right, a match against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, has been granted. And it’s in two weeks at Worlds End, and I can’t wait.
‘If you thought everything was coming up the Don Callis Family, I’ve got one more thing to be excited about! Kyle Fletcher is getting ready right now to be in the main event tonight! And run the table and mathematically ensure that he goes on to Worlds End and then wins the Continental Championship, when he beats that degenerate, Mark Briscoe tonight on Collision. That is why the Don Callis Family is the true one percenters of professional wrestling. And you’re gonna see it tonight, and you’re gonna see it at Worlds End. And Hobbs, I’m gonna send you right back to the unemployment line.” Callis has made his promises, but will Konosuke and Kyle be able to keep them?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe!
The Protostar is already 3-0 with 9 points, the standalone leader of this block. But will he solidify that position as Blue League’s number one seed? Or will the Aussie Arrow completely miss hitting the Sussex County Chicken?

Literally last minute, and the Sussex County Chicken snatches victory from the jaws of defeat! Callis is very upset by this upset victory, and now Mark has new life in the C2! Cassidy & Willow come out to celebrate with him, could Mark make himself one of the semifinalists going into Worlds End?
The Death Riders have hijacked a camera!
Jon Moxley checks if they’re rolling, and Wheeler Yuta says yeah, it’s rolling. He knows how to work that thing? Yeah. Moxley says FTR are about to get lost on their way home tonight. Oh, here they come. The Death Riders watch as Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood walk through the backstage area. Then Marina Shafir stands in their way. Claudio & Pac snatch FTR with blindfold bags! FTR fights but Moxley helps outnumber the #TopGuys, and they drag FTR out to the parking lot. Yuta keeps the camera on him as he smiles and laughs at the carnage happening just on the other side of the wall. Will the Death Riders personally see to it that there is NO ONE to stand against them?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here to wrap Winter is Coming Week, and I do appreciate they’re trying to get more and more people into the Death Rider story, as they should. To that end, good promo from Darby and Ospreay to try and get Ospreay to consider his part in all this. I get Ospreay’s side, he just wants to wrestle, win, and become champion again, but considering Claudio is in Gold League with him, he could end up a target, compelling Ospreay to join the fight. And quite the closing moment, with Death Riders going after FTR because they saved Cassidy from their attack. It’ll be quite the AEW Justice League moment when names like Cassidy, FTR, Ospreay and a few others stand against The Death Riders. And I say Justice League because DC Comics is Warner Brothers Discovery, too.
Speaking of the Continental Classic, awesome matches tonight for Blue League. Mortos was of course losing to Okada but he looked great against the champ. Good promo from Callis to hype up both the International Championship match of Konosuke VS Hobbs and tonight’s main event, and what an awesome win for Mark Briscoe. Kyle is leading at 9, but Okada is second at 7 and Mark is third at 6, and things could really get wild in the last round of Blue League competition. I feel like it should still come down to Okada and Kyle because Okada is the champ and should have a chance at defending his belt, and Kyle could potentially face Ospreay again.
Great 10 Man Tag from Garcia, Komander, Cassidy & Outrunners VS Premier Athletes & MXM, but it was clearly all for the fun so that the fans could stay energized during these long tapings. Good squash match win for Kris Statlander, but I feel like Lynn didn’t sell being held up for a 20+ stalling suplex much at all. Equally good squash match win for Toni Storm, and I absolutely LOVE that Toni Storm is pretending this is her first time in AEW. She got reset to her old persona so apparently that came with a memory reset, that is brilliant. Very good promo Mariah, and a very good promo from Rosa, including Toni’s part. A Tijuana Street Fight for the title, and it keeps both women strong no matter who wins.
Great tag match of Top Flight VS Lio & Action, but also a great use of Leila as a distraction in the wrong way. I almost thought she was going to turn and join Lio & Action, but Leila’s done fairly well as a Face now so I feel like she’ll stay a Face. She could easily just give a promo about how Lio & Action didn’t care about her and that’s why she sticks with Dante & Darius. Private Party VS Lio & Action is going to be a great, but I would think Quen & Kassidy win out. And then great International Women’s Cup Qualifier from Willow VS Hayter. Willow was the natural choice given her accolades.
And while it’s great for Julia to return in person, AEW sure fumbled it. The lights went out during the match, aka way too early, and then I don’t think she did a good job choosing elbow gloves. Those things were falling down the whole time, it looked more like she had a big scrunchy wristband. But hey, Hayter VS Hart in a House Rules match for Worlds End would be great for them both, and it’d be quite the way for Hart to get a return win.
My Score: 8.9/10

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Toni Storm’s comeback tour is only heating up as she’ll be in action once again, against Shazza McKenzie! So from one Aussie to another, is Toni going to keep this momentum going?

Daniel Garcia joins forces with Orange Cassidy, The Outrunners & Komander to take on The Premier Athletes & MXM Collection, will the TNT Champion lead his team to a win in this pick-up game?
Brody King speaks.
“When I think of the Continental Classic, I think of prestige, I think of respect and honor. I started the C2 strong, but now I’m down 6 points. Komander, you better bring the fight of your life, because I am.” It is a match of men on the bubble, who will survive one more round in the Gold League? We find out next Friday for Rampage: Holiday Bash!
Deonna Purrazzo VS Shazza McKenzie!

Deonna doesn’t let go! She makes Shazza pay for lasting even this long! Deonna then lets go to revel in her victory. Will anyone stop The Vendetta from rising up the ranks?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Alex Marvez welcomes #BornAgainKristen and says it is great to see her back again, for the first time since Full Gear. That match with Mercedes Mone was perhaps one of the best matches in the history of the AEW Women’s Division, but seeing as she lost, where does Kris go from here? Kris says she has not stopped thinking about that match. Actually, it feels like Mone hasn’t, either. It seems like Mone won’t stop talking about it. And to give Mone credit, Mone is everything she says she is. Kris came out of that match pretty beat up, so her next step forward is just to keep moving forward.
Kris always moves forward, and that is why she is going to compete tomorrow night on Collision. She’d wrestle again the next night, and the next night, and the next night if she could. She’ll be at Holiday Bash this Wednesday to watch the TBS Championship match, Mone VS Anna Jay. Whoever comes out on top, they should know that Kris has unfinished business with that title. Kris heads out, will she find a way to be the Face of TBS once again?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for Christmas Collision!
Firstly, don’t be fooled, Collision is still on Saturday, December 21st. BUT it will be live coast to coast, 8 PM Eastern, 5 PM Pacific, immediately following TNT’s coverage of the NCAA College Football Playoffs. Make sure your DVRs are set accordingly so your Collision can be merry and bright!
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to Rampage, and he welcomes out ahead of tonight’s main event some of the greatest athletes in the world today, the Don Callis Family! Fans boo as creepy Callus leads the way out for his Alpha, his Murderhawk Monster, and his Protostar. Konosuke Takeshita, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher stand with Don Callis and Schiavone in the ring, and Schiavone speaks to Callis that going just off the reaction from the fans, we all know what they think of Callis and his “family.” Callis grabs the mic to say, “I have something important to say. I know you’re very shocked by how we conduct our business, but what business do you think you’re, Schiavone?
“Because I’m in the getting-over-and-making-money business! So is Kyle! So is Takeshita! So is Archer! You don’t believe me? The Murder Machines is the most feared tag team in the history of this company! Takeshita is the best bell-to-bell International champion we’ve ever had. And that brings me to the Protostar, Kyle Fletcher.” The fans boo more but Callis will remind us that “there was a guy running around here who everyone thought was the greatest wrestler they’d ever seen! And his name was Will Ospreay! That was until Will Ospreay got in the ring with Kyle Fletcher! And Kyle Fletcher, Will, he didn’t just beat you. He dominated you!”
The fans boo more as Callis says Kyle put Ospreay down! Ospreay will never be the same. So as he sits home, watching the Callis Family bask in their glory, here’s a question for Ospreay: How does it feel, bruv? The fans boo more, but Callis says, “Wait, it gets better! Just a few short days later, he (Kyle) did the impossible! He got in the ring with a man who has been called, correctly I might add, ‘The greatest tournament wrestler ever,’ Kazuchika Okada. And he BEAT Okada! So Okada, as you sit home and watch us, I’ve got a question for you! How does it feel, b*tch? Tell ’em, Kyle!”
Callis hands the mic over and the fans boo more. Kyle takes off his sunglasses, but he waits as the fans keep booing. “Kansas City, you can boo me as much as you want. You can cheer for that BUM, Ospreay! But it changes absolutely nothing. I am 25-years-old, I have a watch on my wrist that costs more than the car you drive, and I will be the winner of the Continental Classic. So tomorrow night on Collision, Mark Briscoe, I hope you bring more than your Redneck Kung-Fu. Because winning this tournament is my destiny! And nobody gets in the way of me and my destiny.” The fans boo more but Callis gets the mic back.
Callis says one thing is very obvious to him: The Don Callis Family are the ONE PERCENTERS of AEW! And because they’re the One Percent, Callis can say this: there is no one in the back big enough and bad enough to get in the ring with them. But guess what? Here comes “P-P-P-POWERHOUSE!” The fans fire up as Will Hobbs makes his way out, and he’s bringing Dunkzilla with him! Will the Don Callis Family regret ever leaving Hobbs behind?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis VS Konosuke Takeshita & Lance Archer!
The teams sort out and Hobbs starts against Konosuke. Archer calls to Konosuke, and Konosuke tags him in. The fans rally for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Archer steps to Hobbs. But Hobbs walks right past Archer to taunt Konosuke. “Is that it? Is that really it?” Konosuke backs off to take a stroll outside. Archer tells Hobbs to pay attention to him, he’s the one in the ring. The fans boo but Archer throws a forearm! Hobbs fires back! The fans fire up as “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” goes back and forth! Hobbs gets the edge but archer knees low! Archer tells fans to shut up! Archer whips, Hobbs reverses, and the two RAM shoulders!
Archer staggers to a corner and Hobbs storms up on him! Hobbs rains down fists from above, and we get “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” all the way to nine, because Konosuke sneaks up! Hobbs runs Konosuke off, then he tags Davis. Davis climbs up on Archer, and he rains down fists! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” all the way to TEN! Davis storms around, he and Hobbs go after Archer together to double whip him corner to corner. Davis runs in and LARIATS! Hobbs runs up to LARIAT! The fans cheer as they double whip back the other way. Archer goes up, but Davis stays back. Davis waistlocks Archer but Archer ROCKS Hobbs first!
Archer ELBOWS Davis, roars and runs, but he gets DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLES! The fans fire up for the big meaty men, and Davis drags Archer up. Hobbs comes back in, and they DOUBLE SUPLEX Archer, and even hold him, before the SLAM! Cover, ONE!! Archer shows that grit but Davis pumps up his arm! The fans fire up with Davis as he runs, but Konosuke gets a cheap shot in! Archer then CROSSBODIES Davis! Archer rains down fast hands, then shouts, “This is MY house!” The fans boo but Archer tags Konosuke, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Archer taunts the fans while Konosuke goes corner to corner. Forearm SMASH on Davis and Konosuke snapmares him down. Konosuke goes up, soaks up the heat, and then SUPER SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Davis toughs it out but Konosuke rains down fists! Konosuke CHOKES Davis, stops as the ref counts, and he tags Archer back in. Archer taunts Hobbs while staying between him and Davis. Archer stands Davis up to short arm ALARAIT! Davis stays up so Archer short arm LARIATS again! Davis falls but Archer brings him up for another short arm LARIAT! Archer stands on Davis’s neck!
The ref reprimands, Archer steps off to drag Davis up, and Archer TOSSES Davis out. Archer keeps the ref distracted so Konosuke can whip Davis into railing! Davis almost falls into the front row! Konosuke drags Davis back and DECKS him! Archer goes out to laugh at the fans while standing on Davis! The ref reprimands, Archer still taunts fans as he steps off, and he drags Davis up. Davis fires forearms! The ring count is climbing but Davis roars, only for Konosuke to CLAW Davis’s face! Archer & Konosuke mug Davis, the ref reprimands them both, but Archer puts Davis in the ring. Archer then KICKS Davis in the side!
Archer drags Davis up to bump him off buckles! Tag to Konosuke, Archer smothers Davis while Konosuke fires body shots. The ref reprimands but Konosuke climbs up. Konosuke throws down fists, but then he BITES Davis on the forehead! Konosuke steps away while the ref reprimands, and Archer almost grabs Davis if not for the ref being wary of him. Archer tags in and he stands Davis up. Archer taunts the fans, then CHOPS Davis! Archer stands Davis up again, to CHOP! Archer stands Davis up a third time, but Davis avoids the chop! Davis CHOPS Archer, but Archer knees low! Archer bumps Davis off buckles, then smothers him!
The ref reprimands, Archer stops, and Rampage returns to single picture. Archer again taunts Hobbs while staying between him and Davis. Archer wrenches Davis, whips him to the corner, but Davis BOOTS Archer away! Davis also ROCKS Konosuke and heads for his corner! The fans are thunderous, but Archer runs at Davis! Davis dodges and Archer hits buckles in the open corner! Davis crawls his way over, but Archer goes to BLAST Hobbs! Archer stomps Davis down while fans boo, but Archer soaks up the heat. Archer grins and looks at the tron, “That’s me!” Tag to Konosuke and Konosuke brings Davis up.
Davis fights the suplex, tries to suplex, but Konosuke also fights! Konosuke powers up to lift Davis up and over! The fans are torn, that was legit impressive. Konosuke runs up but Davis rolls him up! TWO, and Davis DECKS Konosuke! The fans fire up as Davis wobbles and staggers! He spots Hobbs, and leaps for the HOT TAG! Hobbs CLOBBERS Konosuke, LARIATS Konosuke, then runs in and SPLASHES at the corner! The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes again, but Konosuke BOOTS him!

TOWER OF MEAT- er, DOOM!! The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes back to his corner. Davis crawls, hot tag back to Hobbs! Hobbs waits on Archer, and he brings down the straps. But Konosuke sneaks in! ALPHA ELBOW! BOOT from Archer! Choke grip, CHOKE SLAM!! Cover, TWO!! Hobbs survives and Archer is furious! Konosuke waits on Hobbs and the kneepad comes down. But Davis anchors Konosuke!
Davis drags Konosuke out, sends him into railing, but then Archer DECKS Davis! Hobbs whips Archer to SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans are thunderous again as Hobbs says thumbs up, thumbs DOWN! SPINEBUSTER!! Cover, HOBBS & DAVIS WIN!
Winners: Will Hobbs & Mark Davis, by pinfall
Big meaty men went to big meaty war, but Konosuke wants more! He even has the belt! Hobbs blocks the shot, and he SPINEBUSTERS Konosuke! The fans are thunderous again as Hobbs eyes that International Championship. Hobbs holds the belt up, will this be the scene we see in the not too distant future?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, great builds in a lot of stuff, and while there was word that those inside AEW thought this was a waste of Toni Storm’s in-ring return, the match we got was really good. Harley had a good little song to advertise the AEW holiday sale, and had a great showing against Toni, but of course Toni wins tonight. She’ll definitely win tomorrow night, too, but I like that she’s facing another Australian wrestler. This is almost like early hype for Grand Slam: Australia in February. Deonna beat Shazza tonight, decent stuff, but the sooner they get going on The Vendetta targeting Anna Jay the better so that The Vendetta actually has a story.
Actually, I think I said it before but the Vendetta story could be them joining Mercedes Mone, revealing themselves as the ones who attacked Kamille. Then those three take on Kamille, Anna Jay, and Kris Statlander in a Six Woman Tag. Speaking of, good promo from Kris Statlander, and her wanting after the TBS title again is a natural move. She’s gotta bide time while the AEW Women’s World Championship story unfolds, and she’s not downgrading to ROH, she is not that far out of the running. That Six Woman Tag could even lead to a Six Pack Challenge for the title, making it much easier to get that title off Mone.
Very good match from Cardona VS Keith to open the night, but of course Cardona wins. This combined with last night’s ROH contract signing segment, Cardona has all the momentum going into Final Battle next week, so he is sadly not winning the title. Jericho still has to complete his goal of getting ROH a cable TV deal, and there is even word that there is interest, perhaps even from Warner Brother Discovery to put ROH on the other Turner network, TruTV, so who knows. Maybe Jericho retains long enough for that deal to be finalized, and then he loses on the first episode of ROH back on cable.
Good promo from Brody King, and I would think he defeats Komander to rebound from his lose to Claudio. Sorry, Komander, but you might be eating the goose egg. Very good promo from Callis and Fletcher to call out Ospreay and Okada and even Mark Briscoe. I feel like that foreshadows Ospreay and Okada making it to Worlds End as semifinalists with Fletcher. And a great main event tag match as Hobbs & Davis made a surprisingly good duo. Great win for Hobbs & Davis, too, and it establishes Hobbs VS Konosuke for the International Championship. Now, Hobbs’ chances of winning that title depend on what AEW and NJPW agree on for WrestleDynasty and Konosuke VS Shingo Takagi, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Hobbs win.
My Score: 8.8/10
