Winners: Aussie Open, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Goto & Hashi earn 0)
Hashi could NOT #GetBackUp, and now Bishamon has fallen to 1-1! But will they be able to #TurnItAllAround next round?
As for Aussie Open, they usher Hashi & Goto out of “their” ring, and Gideon Grey brings the mic to them. Fletcher takes the mic to say, “Fujisawaaa~!” Fans applaud and Fletcher continues by saying, in Japanese, “I speak very little Japanese, I’m sorry. Any of you guys speak English?” Then Fletcher will speak in English. Fletcher & Davis have waited a long time to be part of World Tag League, and closing the show by winning the main event. “Bishamon, Yoshi-Hashi, Hirooki Goto, they were last year’s winners, and we just SWEPT THE FLOOR with them! We came here, guaranteeing Aussie Open winning World Tag League 2022, and I think that just proved that nobody can stop us!”
Fletcher introduces himself and Davis, “We are the United Empire! And we today and all World Tag League long, run the world! Gideon, send them home.” Gideon takes the mic to say that this message is to everybody. “If you’re going to step in this ring against the UnitedEmpire, bring your best game, because there is nobody better in the world. So on behalf of “Dunk-Zilla” Mark Davis and the “Aussie Arrow,” Kyle Fletcher, as well as himself and the rest of the United Empire, “Thank you very much for coming out, drive safely home. <This is the power of the United Empire!!>” Will Aussie Open lead the way into the future of tag team wrestling with this tournament?
Here are the NEW World Tag League standings!
Naito & Sanada: 2-0, 4 points
Suzuki & Archer: 2-0, 4 points
Aussie Open: 2-0, 4 points
Goto & Hashi: 1-1, 2 points
Khan & Henare: 1-1, 2 points
The Mighty: 1-1, 2 points
Chase & Fale: 1-1, 2 points
Yano & Tanahashi: 0-2, 0 points
Evil & Yujiro: 0-2, 0 points
Coughlin & Kidd: 0-2, 0 points
My Thoughts:
Another great event for this series, and just the second round of World Tag League. That win on LIJ VS Suzuki-Gun came about after a restart from yet another double count-out, and it was only four minutes before Takagi got Taichi with a Ground Cobra Twist. I love this whole thing, it’s hilarious. Anyway, great matches in the tag league, and I’m actually a little surprised the House of Torture didn’t cheat a win this time. Sho & Dick are 0-3, now Evil & Yujiro are 0-2 and might even go 0-3 with the next round tomorrow in a big event where both tournaments are active on the same card. There’s a chance Evil & Yujiro get a win off LIJ just to stick it to them as Naito may or may not be retiring.
The United Empire both winning this time keeps their story of wanting an all Empire finals alive, though I still don’t see it happening. LIJ VS Aussie Open will be a big one, though, with how strong Aussie Open is going. That could be the match-up we’ll see in the finals, and it’d be fitting. Aussie Open gave FTR that match of the year candidate back at Royal Quest, we could get an early 2023 match of the year candidate should Aussie Open win the league. But as I’ve been saying, it feels like LIJ should all be going to WrestleKingdom for Naito’s sake. Aussie Open is the future, reaching the finals would be great enough, and then they can come for the titles in the New Year.
My Score: 8.7/10

Ricochet says fine, he’s got ’em lined up. See you real soon, Champ. Get better. When and where will we see these old rivals go another round in the ring?

Moxley chokes Bryan out and Yuta is shouting for him to stop! Bryan rips at the plastic but he’s already so tired from fighting Jack! Pac isn’t letting Yuta go, even as Yuta is near to tears! The fans chant, “This is Murder!” Moxley lets Bryan go, having rendered him unconscious. Claudio tells Yuta to come along, but Yuta goes to Bryan’s side to get that bag off him. Medics get Bryan on the oxygen tank, but Moxley, Marina, Claudio & Pac leave. Bryan is carried out of the ring and to the back. What does this mean for The BCC? What does this mean for the AEW World Trios Champions when Yuta was not in on this betrayal?
Lights Out Steel Cage: Swerve Strickland VS Hangman Page!
Just when you think these two could not have stepped over the line after what they’d already done to each other, they have found new lows to which to stoop. And as such, AEW can no longer be held responsible for what takes place. Hangman set fire to Swerve’s childhood home, but will he now burn Swerve’s career to the ground? Or will Swerve’s House be avenged with Hangman’s blood, sweat and tears?

Lexy Nair is with Truth Magnum, Turbo Floyd & Erica Leigh, who are still celebrating their first win on AEW TV! Can you believe it?! The Outrunners have done it!

Six Man Tag: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara, Holo.grm & VS The Dark Order!
The ROH World Tag Team Champions have brought this gold from Texas to Chicago, and they also brought the shining star who has already captured the hearts of the fans. But will The Natural, The Spanish God and the futuristic luchador be a top tier trio? Or will Evil Uno, John Silver & Alex Reynolds prove #DarkOrderIsGood enough for golden opportunities?

Dustin calls to Sammy, Sammy goes up to FLYING CUTTER! Hologram goes up to 450 SPLASH!! Cover, Team Texas wins!
Winners: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm, by pinfall
A great debut on Rampage for Hologram, a great win overall for the ROH World Tag Team Champions, will they keep this going until they’re dripping with gold?
The Bang Bang Gang speaks.
Juice Robinson says here’s the thing about the AEW Trios Division: You need momentum on your side. You ain’t gonna get the job done with a win here and there. You need to string ’em together, snowball effect. W after W after W! Austin says chill. They all want W’s, but there is something serious to address. Austin still doesn’t have a nickname! They’ve got Fully Cocked Colten Gunn! Rock Hard Juice Robinson! And… What do they have for Austin? Colten thinks on it. But in steps The Cage of Agony. Bishop Kaun says he has an idea: Ass Boy Austin! Oh, clever, clever. No right, here’s one: Runner Up in the Top Prospect Tournament!
Wow, that was a long time ago, Kaun. Not relevant. The Machine says there has to be a better one. Kaun has it now: Nepo Baby. What? Like he’s got a famous mom or something? Kaun says okay, no, this is the best: Former AEW World Trios Champion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s just everyone here right now. Colten says that’s tough talk coming from the team that lost the ROH World Six Man titles to them. Cage says hey, Colten, you might be a “body guy” compared to the rest of this roster, but stepping to The Machine, watch your tone. Shake weights don’t count, Cage. Cage says the only reason Bang Bang Gang won cuz they had six guys at the time!
Nowadays, the three Bang Bang Gang won’t beat The Cage of Agony. Then let’s find out! If you’re not down with that, they have two words for ya! GUNS- Wait! The Cage of Agony block the finger guns! They clap their hands and say, “Gates, OPEN!” Toa Liona roars, Juice roars back, sorta. Will the Collision Cowboys be able to bring down these three behemoths? Or will they be caught inside The Cage of Agony?
BREAKING NEWS!
Lexy Nair says for the Zero Hour, there will be a TRIOS TRIPLE THREAT! Standing by are two of the three teams, Top Flight Crew’s Darius, Dante & Action, and Shane Taylor Promotions with Beast Mortos. But then the third team can be heard coming as Roderick Strong shouts “BEEEEAST!” Roddy thought Mortos was Kingdom! Shane says Mortos followed the money, so can he help them? Matt Taven says Mortos hasn’t learned the value of a dollar! Mike Bennett says Shane can’t help them, but they can help Shane, because surprise, guess who the third team is? Yeah, it’s The Kingdom. And there’s a BIG winner’s purse put on this one.
Not that it’s going to more matching outfits, Top Flight. The Kingdom leaves, Action says check it. In the end, it doesn’t matter whose side The Beast is on, it won’t be the winning side. And Top Flight IS. They will fly home with that guac. CHACHING~! So buckle up. Lee Moriarty has Shane and Mortos calm down. Will #TAIGASTYLE have just the plan to come away with that big money cash prize?
Friday Night Fashion Fight: The MXM Collection VS The House of Black!
It’s hard to say there are any rules outside the norm for this match, other than to dress to impress. Will Mansoor & Mason Madden prove that no matter what, they’re always the best dressed in the locker room? Or will Brody King & Buddy Matthews give them a makeover involving bruises, lacerations and hospital gowns?
Wait, who is this weirdo in the trash bag and oversized wood sandals? Why is he being carried out here? These are the judges for this Fashion Fight?! Well, what do you expect from modern fashion these days? Anyway, the teams sort out, and the Iron Chic starts against the Aussie Juggernaut. The fans bark for the House of Black, and Mansoor dodges Buddy. Mansoor struts, POSES, and calls for a score. Tens across the board! Buddy scowls, waistlocks, Mansoor switches, but Buddy switches. Mansoor switches again, shoves, and POSES! Another score of tens across the board! Feels like they’re a bit biased, though…
Buddy and Mansoor tie up, Mansoor waistlocks, Buddy switches, but Mansoor ELBOWS free! Mansoor runs, sunset flips, but Buddy stays up! Buddy drags Mansoor up, TOSSES him, then blocks a boot! Buddy swings on Mansoor but Mansoor stays in the ropes! The ref counts, Buddy lets off, and the judges give Buddy all threes! Yeah, definitely biased. Mansoor headlocks, Buddy powers out, and they RAM shoulders! Buddy doesn’t budge, and he headlocks for a takeover! Mansoor headscissors, Buddy kips free, then he avoids the sweep. Buddy headlocks, Mansoor powers up and out, but Buddy CLOBBERS him!
Mansoor gets up, Buddy blocks the kick and FLIPS Mansoor! Mansoor scrambles away, asks for a score, and Buddy gets a total of 4! Mansoor says he is still better than Buddy, and he tags Mason in. The Mahogany Hunk calls out the King of Death, and the fans bark it up! Buddy tags Brody, and Mason is all fired up! Brody stares Mason down, but then Mansoor tags in? Mansoor steps up to Brody, says eat this, and CHOPS! But Brody doesn’t budge! The judges still give all tens! But Brody CHOPS Mansoor! Mansoor falls, the judges can’t hep but admit, that was a seven. Mansoor RIPS that seven, and finds the “YOU SUCK” one among them!
But then Mansoor turns around, and Brody CROSSBODIES them all!! That’s a ten, as in, a STRIKE! The fans fire up as Brody holds up the ten! Mason runs up but Buddy FLYING KNEES him down! Mason is in a daze, Buddy holds up the ten, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Brody drags Mansoor up to run and RAM him into railing! Brody CHOPS Mansoor against apron, Buddy says ten! The fans cheer, “TEN! TEN! TEN!” Brody kicks Mansoor into the ring, drags him up, and CHOPS! TEN! Mansoor stings, he feels more like a two right now. Buddy tags, he drags Mansoor up and CHOPS him down! TEN! Mansoor bails out, the House pursues, and they put Mansoor back in. But Mason ancohrs Buddy! Buddy kicks Mason, but Mansoor DRAPING DDTS Buddy!! Tag to Mason, and he SENTONS! Anmd ELBOW DROPS! And covers, ONE!! Mason snarls, he tags Mason, and MXM double whip.
MXM DOUBLE ELBOW, POSE, but no judges to score it. DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Mansoor drags Buddy up, tags Mason in, and MXM mugs Buddy. Mason whips Mansoor in, but Buddy BOOTS him! Buddy goes up and over Mason, but Mansoor lifts Buddy! Mason runs, HIGH KICK SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Mason stares Brody down, drags Buddy up, and puts him on ropes. Mason CHOKES Buddy, lets off as the ref counts, and Mansoor hip attacks! Mansoor says kiss this, and Mason tags him in. MXM regroup on the apron, finger boop and DOUBLE HIP ATTACK! Buddy sputters as MXM clap them cheeks!
MXM go again, but Buddy mores! Mansoor takes the worse of that, and Buddy BLASTS them both off the apron! Mansoor hurries back in, and he CLOBBERS Buddy! Mansoor drags Buddy up, brings him over, and Mason steps in. MXM whips Buddy to the corner, then shake their booties. Rampage returns to single picture, Mansoor runs in, but Buddy BOOTS him down! Mansoor falls to his knees, Buddy runs up and uses him for a step! FLYING KNEE into Mason! The fans fire up as Buddy and MXM are all down! Buddy crawls, but Mason YANKS Brody down! The fans boo, but Mason eggs Brody on. Mansoor rolls Buddy, TWO!

The fans fire up as the two RAM shoulders! Chants of “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” begins! The forearms fly, “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” The CHOPS and the BOOTS, “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Mason dodges, fireman’s carries, but Brody elbows free! ROLLING ELBOW! Fireman’s carry, but Mansoor makes the save! SUPERKICK! Brody LARIATS back! Mason is still up, and he choke grips! Brody pries free, so Mason HEADBUTTS!

Buddy rolls through, Brody is in, Mansoor is thrown into DANTE’S INFERNO!! Cover, The House of Black wins!
Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall
Talk about “Brutal fashion,” this was a victory as beautiful as it was vicious! Brody & Buddy proved #TheHouseAlwaysWins, but will they win their way back to title opportunities?
Will Ospreay speaks.
“I have been asked all day today, ‘How you feelin’, Will? You feelin’ alright?’ I dunno how you feel when you’ve taken a Poison-Rana on the stage and a brainbuster on some stage carts, mate, but yeah, hunky dury. I’m feeling great. I’m feeling great to cut these ties that bind myself to Pac. That’s history, right? See, Pac, everybody might know you as The Bastard right now, or maybe they know you as The Man Gravity Forgot. I know you as a UK backyard wrestler. You see, I could say words to you right now that’d perk your ears up that no one else knows. I could say stuff like Steve Farrow. I could say stuff like NAW.
“Because I’ve walked in your shoes. When I walked into that territory that you left, they’d say, ‘Man, you’re good. You ain’t Pac.’ They said the same thing on the UK independents. They said, ‘You’re good, but you’re not Pac.'” Ospreay made them all eat their words, and then he walked on the bridge Pac built, from England to Japan. Pac paved the way for him and Ospreay is thankful. But when Ospreay walked in there, they also said, “You’re good, but you’re not Pac.” Ospreay has been chasing Pac, and five years ago, Pac was Dragon Gate Dream Gate Champion, and Ospreay was NEVER Openweight Champion, and they didn’t get a decision. It was a 30 minute time limit draw.
You think Ospreay is satisfied with that? Nah, bruv! Ospreay’s still been chasing Pac! And here it is. Without even realizing it, Ospreay has lapped Pac. When Pac hit that rana, and Ospreay heard that crappy northern accent, “Don’t you underestimate me.” You thought Ospreay forgot? Nah, bruv. Ospreay could never forget Pac. Not all the work Pac’s done, not all the history they have. No one has forgotten about Pac. He just has been in this position so many times, we’ve lost faith. Wanna change it? Then there’s 24 hours left, bruv. These two may not have had their Wembley Moment together, but who walks away having won THE moment?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage as part of the go-home night to All Out, though they of course accommodated the bleed over from Collision. Good stuff, already talked about it all for the Collision article, and I also touched on Moxley & Marina jumping The Outrunners with that article, too. It was easy heat for Moxley & Marina beating up on The Outrunners, who just had their big moment, but Moxley touched on not celebrating mediocrity and being humble in victory. Darby Allin will probably respond by saying this is just Moxley being a bully. Anyway, good win for Aminata, and Deeb watching her sets up how they’ll be feuding soon enough.
Good promo of Bang Bang Gang and Cage of Agony, and they’ll have a very good match, probably naming the winners the #1 contenders to the World Trios Championships. More than I can say for Premier Athletes. What business do Nese, Daivari & Woods have watching Dustin & Sammy like they’re gonna get any of the ROH titles off them? Nese, Daivari & Woods lose to all sorts of established names, Dustin, Sammy & The Von Erichs will be no different. But still a really good, really fun Six Man Tag of Dustin, Sammy & Hologram beating Dark Order. Dark Order really is a trio that should’ve been given more, but oh well.
Good promo segment from Kingdom, STP and Top Flight, with another of these kayfabe’d money prize matches happening just because. Like, title opportunities not being won here? I know Roddy is waiting to go after the FTW Championship, but why not have him & The Kingdom try to move up from ROH titles to AEW titles in this match? Though, Top Flight might be right. They won that $3000 trios royale thing a year or so ago, they might win this one so that they keep making money and building their budget for more airline pilot gimmick gear.
And while I was expecting a fashion show themed Street Fight, I suppose judges giving scores was good enough of a gag for this match. The fashion themed Street Fight would’ve probably been better, though. But the House of Black would’ve won out anyway, so best to do it in a standard rules match. And then a great promo from Ospreay to properly frame this feud with Pac. I do wish they would’ve let this be the All In match but whatever, this will still be a show stealer of a match for All Out. But as I said for Collision, and even Dynamite on Wednesday, Pac has been standing tall so the math favors Ospreay retaining the title.
My Score: 8.7/10
