PLAY BY PLAY
Ricky Starks is here!
Fans fire up for The Absolute, who is not the AEW World Champion after getting absolutely screwed! Starks gets the mic and fans rally for “RICKY! RICKY!” Starks says, “It would be really nice to be standing here as the new AEW Champion, but that’s not how things turned out cuz I lost.” Fans boo what happened, but Starks says that’s all on him. He should’ve known better. It sucks, but at least he lost like a man while MJF won like a coward. At least Starks can stand here “with respect and dignity, whereas Max, even though he’s still champion, doesn’t even have any of that. Including a pair of these.”
But Starks does want to point out that if he was that close to beating MJF the first time, just imagine how it’ll go the next time, because guess what? There will be a next time! Fans like the sound of that! Starks says that’s how this starts. This isn’t the end, just look at him! This is the start! If Starks has to work his way back up, then guess what? Line ’em up so Stroke Daddy can knock ’em down! At the end of the day, Starks will be the man around here! Why? Because he’s Absolute Ricky Starks! But wait! Here comes Chris Jericho! Fans sing Judas for The Wizard, but he also has the Jericho Appreciation Society’s Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara.
The JAS stands on stage as the song finishes up, and then Jericho has the mic. “Ricky, Ricky, Ricky. I’ve been watching you for a long time, Ricky Starks. A long time. And I saw you last week, and you’re right, you did come this close to winning the world championship.” But Starks isn’t the dollar store version of anyone, Starks is a million dollar talent! Fans cheer that, and Jericho guarantees that Starks will be a world champion some day. But… he’s just not quite ready yet. He doesn’t want Starks to be a flash in the pan. Jericho says after talking things over with Danny and Sammy, his close, personal confidants, they feel Starks has what it takes to be a big star in AEW.
All Starks needs is a little influence, a little advice, and a little Chris Jericho. Fans say “NO! NO!” and then “SAMMY SUCKS! SAMMY SUCKS!” Jericho says if the fans say Sammy sucks, then they say Jericho sucks! And the JAS doesn’t suck! They have talked it over, and they want Starks to join the JAS! Starks says, “Oh~ wow~! The almighty Chris Jericho gave me a compliment! I love it! Hey, it’s my turn. Y’know what I love about you, Chris? I like that fact that you know how to stay relevant. I like the fact that you constantly evolve. Hell, just a few months ago, you were coming here built like an air fryer!
“Now look at you! You’re lean, you’re mean, you’re shredded! You’re dressed like a single father on his fifth divorce! I love it, personally.” Fans cheer that but Garcia & Sammy don’t like it. Starks says that while the offer is very tempting to join the little boy band, he will say HELL NO he doesn’t wanna join the JAS! You think that Starks wants to be part of Club Vampire and have a leash around his neck? NO! Hell, just last week, Jericho lost to Action Andretti so his stock has dropped. And the J in JAS might as well stand for “Jobbers.” Jericho is stunned silent! Fans chant “JOBBERS! JOBBERS!” and that upsets the JAS.
Starks says those two little jazz holes, they haven’t done anything! Fans chant “JAZZ HOLES! JAZZ HOLES!” and Starks has a question. What has Chris done for Garcia since joining? He lost the ROH Pure Championship, aww~… And Sammy, honestly, Starks couldn’t care less about you. But hey! They’re not gonna suck the life outta Starks cuz he won’t let it happen! But if Jericho wants something to suck, guess what? Okay, hold on. Starks can understand Jericho’s appetite not being big enough for that tonight. But how about this? January 4th, new city, new AEW! Starks proposes this: Jericho VS Starks 1v1!
But wait, Jake Hager is sneaking in! Jericho says that was the wrong answer, Ricky. Rock Hard Hager CLOBBERS Starks from behind! Then the JAS mugs Starks 3v1! Jericho takes his time while his minions stomp away on Starks! They drag Starks up, but here comes ACTION ANDRETTI! Andretti slides in, ducks the bat and springboard CROSSBODIES! Hager rushes him but Action dumps him out! Action LARIATS Sammy, then Starks tosses Garcia! Fans fire up as Andretti hits a MOONSAULT on Jericho! The JAS retreat, is Action Andretti absolutely going to watch Starks’ back against the sports entertainers?
AEW World Trios Championships Best of 7, Match 5, No Disqualifications: Death Triangle VS The Elite!
The series stands at 3-1 in favor of The Bastard & The Lucha Brothers, but that’s because they used hammers every time! So this week, Kenny Omega says ANY weapon is allowed! What won’t we see these two teams use to win when this could all end tonight?
The introductions are made, Don Callis joins commentary, and The Elite attack! The bell rings, the brawl is on, and fans are thunderous! The Elite get the edge, they CLUB Death Triangle and reel them all in, but the Death Tringle fight free of the powerbombs to TRIPLE SUPERKICK! The Elite all fall out of the ring, fans fire up as Penta & Fenix shout, “CERO! MIEDO!” and then Death Triangle all builds speed! They TRIPLE TOPE CONJILO! Direct hit on Omega & The Bucks, and then Fenix puts Nick in the ring! Fans fire up as Fenix fires forearms on Nick. Fenix whips Nick corner to corner then runs in to clothesline!
Pac runs in to back elbow! Penta runs in but Nick dodges! Omega and Matt drag out Pac and Fenix, Nick clotheslines Penta in the corner! Matt runs in to clothesline, too! Omega runs in to back elbow! Nakazawa joins in to back elbow! No Disqualifications, remember? Brandon Cutler the cold spray elf joins in, too! Only for Alex Abrahantes to get in his way! Alex shouts, “CERO! MIEDO!” and he pie faces Cutler! Cutler SPRAYS Alex in the face! Cutler dabs, but then turns around into a SUPERKICK from Penta! That’s what he gets for dabbing! Er, spraying Alex! Matt SUPERKICKS Penta! Pac BOOTS Matt!

Aww… Penta sets the tree back up and fans cheer!
Fenix & Penta double whip Matt into the Christmas tree! They then whip Matt back the other way, but he slides under the chair! Nick is up top to CROSSBODY all the Death Triangle!

AEW shares footage from after last week’s episode went off the air.
MJF had made it backstage, running away from Bryan Danielson. MJF is furious! He called Bryan the “gutless coward!” That was MJF’s moment! That was MJF’s first title defense, and what does Bryan do? He tries to attack MJF from behind! “You gutless prick. You’re a nobody in my world, you understand me? I beat Ricky Starks CLEAN, smackdab in the middle of the ring! That should’ve been my moment, and you had to stick your sh*tty little hipster nose in it, didn’t you? You worthless, worthless, WORTHLESS scumbag! Everybody wants to ride my wave in this company. Everybody wants to eat off of MY plate!
“Well guess what, Bryan Danielson? when it comes to the reign of terror, you will eat less than you desire, and more than you deserve!” Maxwell Jacob Friedman, hypocrisy aside, is still AEW World Champion. What will he do to put the American Dragon in his place?
Backstage interview with Action Andretti.
Tony Schiavone is with the newest AEW signee, and he notes “What an upset last week on Dynamite over Chris Jericho, never seen anything like that!” And earlier tonight, Action helped Starks against the JAS. Action says yes, last week, HE did the unthinkable, the impossible, something that some people said is the biggest upset of the decade! Action defeated #THEOCHO in the middle of that ring! And ever since, his life hasn’t been the same! Action has been getting an overwhelming amount of support and love from the fans, and it feels amazing.
And while all that is good, Action knew that the JAS wouldn’t just watch their leader get beat by some rookie and not have some frustration and anger. They were going to take it out on whoever, wherever, and tonight, they went after Ricky Starks. Action was out there, he had Starks’ back! But then Angelo Parker & Matthew Menard walk in! Action is on guard but they tell him hold on! Take it easy! Cool it! They’re here to compliment him. He’s on a hot streak! Some would even say, he’s on FIRE! What? Action turns around, AND GETS A FIREBALL TO THE FACE!! The Wizard is back to his old tricks!
Jericho digs Action’s face into the ground! “You’re on fire, Andretti! You’re on fire!!” “Merry Christmas, kid!” The JAS is downright evil! Are they getting nothing but coal for Christmas this year?
Renee Paquette is in the ring.
And she tells San Antonio to please welcome the American Dragon, Bryan Danielson! Fans cheer as Bryan makes his way out to the ring. Renee says this is the first time that we’ve heard from Bryan since his mentor, William Regal, was brutally attacked by MJF. Her question is, where does this leave the Blackpool Combat Club? Bryan says that he doesn’t expect the BCC to forgive Regal, he’s done some pretty bad things. But the thing is, Bryan first trained to wrestle right here in San Antonio. Fans cheer that! Bryan says his very first match was 15 minutes up the road at a place called Far West Rodeo! Fans cheer that, too!
Bryan is sure the fans saw him do some really bad country line dancing, but his first trainers were Rudy Boy Gonzalez and Shawn Michaels. Fans cheer those names! “H B K! H B K!” But the man who turned Bryan into the wrestler he is today is William Regal. Not only did Regal make Bryan into the wrestler he is today, but he made Bryan into the person he is today. And Bryan understands Moxley, Claudio and Yuta don’t have this same relationship, but when Regal was in the hospital and Bryan thought he was never going to see him again, he cried. That man has made Bryan’s life better, his wrestling better, and everything better!
Renee and the fans all know how much Regal has meant to the wrestling industry. Fans cheer and do the “YES! YES! YES!” hands to agree. Bryan says then Regal comes to AEW, and Bryan loved having Regal here in AEW! One thing Regal taught Bryan is that “there are consequences to your actions. One thing MJF needs to learn is that there are consequences to your actions. Max, don’t think for a second that I haven’t been listening to every single word that you’ve said! There are consequences to your actions when you hospitalize somebody that I love more than anybody on this earth except for my family! There are consequences to those actions!
“You call me a coward?! MJF, get your ass out here, RIGHT NOW!!” But instead of MJF, it’s The Firm’s Ethan Page and Stokely Hathaway. Ethan wants everyone to hold on. Stokely, Ethan wants to get this right: Ethan Page makes it all the way to the finals of the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament, right? Right. And Bryan didn’t. Right. Ethan Page makes it to the final two of the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal, but Bryan didn’t. Right. And everyone in this building knows that if Ethan faced MJF, Ethan would be here with the WORLD TITLE! Fans are shouting “S T F U!” but Ethan continues. For some odd reason, Vegetable Man here thinks he can just jump the line!
Stokely says that’s crazy! He thinks Bryan should go home, be a family man, shop at Trader Joe’s, get those pro-biotics, the gluten free goodies, and the cauliflower Cheetos, or whatever Bryan wants. Bryan wants them to hold on, he’s confused. He can’t concentrate because one, the glare coming off of Stokely’s head is distracting. Can Stokely grow some hair? There’s also the fans “very politely” telling them both to shut up. Bryan could not hear any of that. Did they insult him by calling him “Vegetable Man?” Stokely says, “You raggedy b*tch.”
Ethan has Stokely calm down, and he wants to make this very clear: He didn’t call Bryan “Vegetable Man” to insult his way of life and what he eats. Fans boo but Ethan and Stokely to shut up! Ethan says they can see who’s talking, right? SO SHUT UP! Listen, Bryan! Ethan didn’t say all that because of Bryan’s way of life. It’s because if he thinks he’s jumping ahead of Ethan Page, Ethan promises he will literally turn Bryan into a vegetable! Bryan tells San Antonio that Ethan Page just threatened him. If Ethan wants to turn Bryan into a vegetable, why doesn’t he try it right here, right now? Fans like the sound of that!
Stokely and Ethan talk, Ethan starts unbuttoning his shirt, but then he says he thought about it and to be honest… Fans boo but Ethan tells them to shut up so he can explain! Ethan can pop off the top, but the pants are staying on. So if Bryan wants to be turned into a vegetable, let’s do it next week. Fans boo more but Ethan says they can suck, he’s not working in San Antonio. See you next Wednesday, Bryan! A match is set for New Year’s Smash, and MJF is watching backstage with a smug grin on his face. Will All Ego send the American Dragon on a detour from going after MJF? Or will Ethan’s ego be deflated to end 2022?
Rampage has a HUGE Trios Match!
It will be the first ever “Three Kings of Christmas” Casino Trios Royale, for 300 THOUSAND DOLLARS!! The Dark Order, Kip Sabian’s Superbad Squad, Orange Cassidy & Best Friends, AR Fox & Top Flight, Ari Daivari & The Varsity Athletes, La Faccion Ingobernables, the newly formed Spanish Announce Project (Angelico, Serpentico & Luther), and the Blackpool Combat Club’s Moxley, Claudio & Yuta, are all competing for that prize, who will be raking it in for the holidays?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“The 300 thousand dollar Trios Casino Christmas Battle Royal this Friday night on Rampage. Well, that sounds like one heck of a good time, I wouldn’t wanna miss that. So I guess you know where I’ll be, again, Cowboy Hangman Page. We can keep this fight up for as long as you want. We can trade fists, brawl all over Texas if you want. We can keep going as long as you want, but I’m starting to wonder when exactly we’re gonna settle this in the ring. Or are we? But then again, what is there to settle? You got knocked out. What’d you think was gonna happen when you signed on for that match in Cincinnati? How’d you see that playing out in your head differently?
“I’m getting a little sick and tired of the somber tones. About the accident and the thing that wasn’t supposed to happen. Poor Hangman Page woke up in the hospital. What’d you think I was trying to do with that clothesline? Comb his hair? It ain’t my problem that you got a glass jaw, that just makes me good at my job. I ain’t the bad guy here. Don’t become one of those play wrestlers, Hangman, you’re better than that. This kid tonight, Darius, from Top Flight. Sure, very talented. Sure, high-flyer, jumping around and all that. Blew out his knee, got in a car wreck, blah blah blah. All I hear is ‘injury prone, injury prone.’
“So is that my fault? Is that my fault now, too? We are teachers. So I’m gonna have to teach this Darius a hard, hard lesson tonight on Dynamite.” Will the Maniac and one half of the Coldest Team in the Game burn it down here for the Holiday Bash?
Samoa Joe speaks.
“Hello, friends, Samoa Joe here. Your ROH Television Champion and Undisputed TNT Champion. Also universally known as The One True King of Television, taking a little bit of time out of my busy schedule to wish you all a happy holiday. And in particular, because of the spirit of comradery and friendship that comes with this season, Wardlow, I have a special greeting for you. I wish that you have the happiest, merriest of holidays. May it be filled with friends, family and people you love and enjoy. Because I think we both know you’re definitely not going to be having a Happy New Year.
“As a matter of fact, Santa may not bring you what you want on December 25th, but come December 28th, Wardlow, I’m gonna give you more than you ever asked for. And after I’m done giving you exactly what you asked for, Wardlow, I’m gonna take from you. Wardlow, have a happy, happy holiday season. But come December 28th, all the holiday cheer ends.” #TwoBeltJoe has given the Maestro of Mayhem a seven day warning, but will New Year’s Smash be the end of the King of TV’s reign?
Hook VS Exodus Prime!
The Cold Hearted Handsome Devil is still undefeated at 16-0 and still the FTW Champion, but he also came to the rescue of “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry against The Firm’s Moriarty & Morrissey. Will The Immaculate Exodus recover from his beating at the hands of Wardlow? Or will he wish they didn’t #SendHook?
The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. Hook waistlocks, SLAMS Exodus down, then floats to a facelock. Hook puts Prime in a corner, fires off body shots, then ROCKS him with a haymaker! Fans fire up but Prime swings on Hook! Into a SAYANAGI! Hook storms up, blocks a boot, and then clinches Prime in a high cradle, for a T-BONE! Prime staggers up, into a LARIAT! Fans fire up and Hook paces around. Hook gives Prime crossface forearms, then hooks on the REDRUM! Prime taps, Hook wins!
Winner: Hook, by submission
But just as fans cheer for Hook’s win, The Firm is on the tron! Stokely says, “Well, well, well. Look what we have here.” Moriarty & Morrissey are mugging Jungle Boy! “This Neanderthal thought he was walking around in Beverly Hills. But Hook, just like you, he can’t walk these streets alone. And Hook, trust me when I saw we sympathize, because of two reasons: Lee Moriarty, and diabetes. Stokely pours out a bag of chips just to add insult to injury, as Morrisey drags JB up to CHOKE SLAM him into a dumpster! Moriarty dumps trash onto JB, but Hook storms his way to the back! Will Hook find where The Firm is in time to help JB out of a jam?
Jon Moxley w/ Claudio Castagnoli VS Darius Martin w/ Dante Martin!
The Maniac keeps this show moving as he makes his entrance, with Claudio by his side! Class is in session with the Blackpool Combat Club, will the #AirWolf pass with flying colors?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Moxley and Darius stare down, then they circle. They tie up, Moxley pushes Darius to a corner, Darius turns it around, but Moxley turns it back around. They both shove and fans like that. The two tie up again, Moxley waistlocks and full nelsons to then spin, snapmare and KICK Darius in the back. Fans rally as Darius gest up. Dante coaches his brother, Moxley asks Claudio what’s up, and Moxley ties up with Darius again. Moxley headlocks, Darius endures the grind, and Darius pries at the hold.

Neither man falls, and Moxley dares Darius to try again. Darius runs, they RAM shoulders again, and Moxley SLAPS Darius! Darius scowls, Moxley runs but into a sweep!

Moxley drags Darius up to TOSS him into the railing! Moxley pushes the railing apart to bring Darius to the crowd!
Fans fire up as Moxley snap suplexes Darius to the bare concrete! Moxley leaves Darius behind and fans fire up more.

Moxley smacks Darius off the apron, then RAMS him into railing! Moxley puts Darius in the ring, tells Dante to watch himself, but Darius DIVES out onto Moxley! Fans fire up as Darius rains down fists! Dante and Claudio stare down, keeping the other in check, as Darius refreshes the ring count. Moxley gets up and Darius puts him in the ring.
Darius climbs the corner, Dante cheers him on, but Moxley DECKS Darius to the floor! Claudio stays back and Dante coaches his brother back up.

Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall
Darius showed some toughness, but not enough to overcome Moxley! Will the $300,000 Casino Trios Royal be a different story?
AEW hears from Hikaru Shida and Jamie Hayter.
The Full Metal Samurai promises to take back the AEW Women’s World Championship and show us why she has the strongest heart in AEW. But Hayter says, “Oh, isn’t that lovely? Strong heart~! Every single person in that arena is gonna be buzzing when inevitably, Jamie Hayter retains the AEW Women’s World Championship.” That match is our main event, who will bring the title home for the holidays?
AEW has another chapter from The Book of Hobbs.
The Powerhouse is working out as he says, “My first memory, at three years old, was watching my uncle overdose on the floor. Have you ever seen someone gargle and choke on their own blood? Have you ever smelt your own burning flesh? As a child, I was beaten, I was robbed, I’ve been stabbed, I’ve been shot. But what type of people would do this to a child? Monsters. But what they didn’t know is that they created a monster themselves. And now it’s time that I spill everyone else’s blood and turn to the next chapter of The Book of Hobbs.” With all that he has seen, and with all that he has endured, will AEW be able to endure what they’re about to see?
FTR VS Austin & Colten Gunn!
Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood have been stalked by and trolled by “The Ass Boys” for the better part of this year, and have finally had enough! Will the still AAA & IWGP Tag Team Champions be able to put Austin & Colten in their place once and for all? Or will the Gunns add insult to injury to the already beat up FTR?
The teams sort out and Dax starts against Colten. They tie up, go around, and Colten gets around to CLUB Dax! Dax drops to his knee, but he stands back up to CHOP Colten! Colten staggers, Austin jumps in, but so does Cash! The teams stand off then back down. Dax tags Cash, fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS~!” but Colten tells them to shut up.

AEW hears from Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh.
Wait, are they doing a rap video to mock The Acclaimed? Yes, they are. MC Sonjay raps “Acclaimed is just a bunch of slap nuts. Last week, Slap Max got smacked up. Caster couldn’t do his rap, that’s bad luck. And by the way, you’re raps SUCK! Bowens tried to fight but he wasn’t able, cuz Jay Lethal threw his ass right over a table. We’ll make Acclaimed run from the building, cuz we got Satnam Singh and he’s one in a billion! ‘Grand Daddy Ass,’ get him Depends, we’ll get the tag titles and they’ll never scissor again! HAHAHAHA! This Friday night on Rampage, Bowens and Billy Daddy Ass step up to the plate against my best friend in the whole world, Jay Lethal, and Jeff Jarrett!”
So then, will the #LethalOutlaws deliver a smash hit that gets them a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships? Or will their new track fail to go gold?
Tony Schiavone and Rick Ross are in the ring.
Fans cheer as Schiavone introduces The Biggest Boss as he plans to mediate this coming face-to-face. First out, the Limitless One, Keith Lee! Fans cheer to see Texas’ own, and Rick Ross wants them to make some noise for the big homey! Rick Ross wants to make this clear, he IS the Biggest Boss, and when the Biggest Boss comes out, he comes to make history. Today, we make history! This is big business they gotta discuss so they’re gonna make this clear. “Time to bring out the young legend. Y’all make some noise for SWERVE!” The music doesn’t hit, Rick Ross says they’ll make this special. Also, Keith’s one big mother effer.
Rick Ross says we’re here to make history! Fans chant for “Whose House?” “Swerve’s House!” Rick Ross says to give the legend some time. We’re ready, but then Swerve says, “Yo, yo, I’m sorry. I wasn’t aware we was doing this on Keith Lee’s time again.” Swerve comes out without music and fans boo. Swerve says we’re here again, doing things based off Keith. Swerve doesn’t wait for nobody. Swerve does things Swerve’s way. Keith, Swerve really tried. He wanted to give Keith the world! They should own everything! Rick Ross agrees. Swerve tells Rick Ross that he can’t deal with all these accusations. Rick Ross says they do not deal with accusations! And definitely not false ones.
Swerve tells Keith that he needs to keep his eye on the ball. But he can’t keep his eyes on the tag titles, or on his health, and honestly, he needs to keep eyes on the back of his head. What? Rick Ross is behind Keith, and he says the young legend has spoken. PARKER BOUDREAUX is here!? Parker CLUBS Keith, then turns him around to ROCK him with haymakers! Swerve grins as Parker goes wild on Swerve! Parker roars, fans boo, but Parker whips Keith. Keith reverses to lariat Parker out of the ring! Rick Ross is shocked, but Swerve eggs Keith on. Rick Ross says Swerve is an icon. Keith tells Rick Ross to shut up!
Keith goes out after Swerve, but Parker is back up! And then someone else RAMS Keith into railing! Who is that?! He’s stomping away on Keith! This man, covered in tattoos, roars and then stomps Keith! Rick Ross says this is the history that’s being made. Mogul Affiliates is a new faction, and Parker SMACKS Keith on the back with a chair! Keith drops to his knees! Parker and the tattoo man drag Keith up, RAM him against the apron, and then bring the steel steps over! Rick Ross keeps saying this is them making history, and the Affiliates put Keith on the steel steps! Swerve climbs the corner!? They even add a cinderblock!?
Swerve jumps, SUPER KILL STOMPSÂ with the cinderblock and steel steps!! Keith goes down in a heap and Rick Ross is amazed! “He made need attention.” Fans lose their minds but “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Will Mogul Affiliates make 2023 the Year of Swerve?
AEW hears from the trios entering the Three Kings Christmas Casino Trios Royale.
Best Friends says $300,000, that could get Mama Beretta a new house. Chuck Taylor wants to get his mom a chainsaw! Cassidy will also buy Trent’s mom a new house. The Dark Order want to split the $300,000 evenly between Uno, Silver, Reynolds, Negative One and… Oh, that’s all. Sorry, Hangman. But can he promise not to get involved? Yeah, he won’t. Why would he? Well because of Mo- MONEY! He loves the money, and battle royals. Well, and Moxley. This is Friday. Oh, alright, he’ll see them later. O-Okay. Is Hangman going on vacation already? Or will he just wait until it’s all said and done to get what he wants for Christmas?

My Thoughts:
A great episode for AEW, though they didn’t go quite as hard on the holiday party theme as I thought they would. They had the trees on stage, there was a menorah on commentary desk, and MJF was wearing a Hanukkah suit, but no one was having a party or doing gift exchanges. I did appreciate the No Disqualification Trios match bringing a tree to the ring to use, though. The trios match made an awesome opener, and of course the hammers were involved, but I figured The Elite were gonna win this one. To be fair, I already said The Elite will push this to the seventh match, so the Falls Count Anywhere match is going to be wild and go The Elite’s way.
Great opening promo from Starks with the Jericho Appreciation Society. That is a great new feud, and I should’ve known Jericho would get his revenge on Action Andretti. That fireball will take Action out of action for a bit (no pun intended), so I guess no tag match of Starks and Andretti against like Menard & Parker or even Sammy & Garcia. But either way, Starks against any number of those guys is going to be great stuff, and Jericho VS Starks is going to be awesome whenever and wherever it happens.
Good promo from MJF, rife with hypocrisy fitting of a Heel like him, and great response from Bryan. But of course Ethan & Stokely respond instead of MJF, and Ethan VS Bryan is going to be great stuff. Hook of course won, but of course Moriarty & Morrissey mugged Jungle Boy when he was alone. #JungleHook VS Moriarty & Morrissey will surely happen but it still seems like they’re giving Hook too much credit if “Big Bill” Morrissey is avoiding him. Good promo from Samoa Joe to call out Wardlow, and their match at New Year’s Smash will be great stuff. Also, really powerful promo from Will Hobbs, he better take that TNT title off whoever has it after next week.
The money prize aside, as it’ll be kayfabe, a Casino Trios Royale is a great idea and I wish I’d come up with something like that myself. I have no idea who will win it, but maybe it shouldn’t be The Blackpool Combat Club. Claudio has a title, Yuta has a title, Moxley has a feud with Hangman, so maybe The Dark Order should get that just so they can use it to make up for the losses they’ve been suffering. Moxley had a great promo to hype up things with Hangman, and he had a great match with Darius. Moxley is oddly helping get the younger guys over with the fans by beating the hell out of them. Moxley wins, he will surely brawl with Hangman again, and then we get the announcement for like, Unsanctioned Match, Moxley VS Hangman, for a big 2023 Dynamite.
Great match out of FTR VS Gunns, but I should’ve figured Gunns were gonna cheat. This extends the feud, of course, but with the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions already booked for WrestleKingdom 17 on January 4th, maybe they figure out something for the AAA World Tag Team Championships. And then FTR can get their win back and throw the Ass Boys away. The “rap” from Sonjay Dutt was at least delivered smoothly, and it was goofy on purpose. But point is, we’re getting a tag match where Billy Gunn steps up, and I would think Team Double Jay cheats to even get that win and claim they’re going to face The Acclaimed for the titles at some point.
The “face to face” of Swerve and Keith that turned into an ambush from a new faction was… mostly just slow and clunky. I suppose Swerve doing things on his time was their way of allowing Parker and the completely unnamed, completely tattooed monster of a guy to get into position, but that was all just the most awkward ambush I’ve ever seen. So I guess Rick Ross was right, they did make history. At least they punctuated it with a great cinderblock stomp. Mogul Affiliates is here, I guess Parker is ditching The Trustbusters, and I hope Swerve can help Parker finally figure out how to do things as more than a caveman with a crewcut.
And while we still only got one women’s match, that was the best women’s match AEW has given us on TV. Hayter and Shida could have even had this match on PPV, but of course Hayter wins. Storm and Saraya coming out to make the save made sense, and it further leads me to think Storm and Saraya are facing Britt & Hayter on January 4th. At the same time, they could easily upgrade things to a Six Woman Tag and have Rebel in it so Saraya doesn’t have to choose and she can bring Storm AND Shida. But then Rebel would be the obvious loser for the Heels, so that won’t happen. Storm & Saraya will surely win, and we get rematches from Full Gear for Revolution.
My Score: 8.9/10

Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
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!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

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!

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?

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.
My Score: 8.8/10

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. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. 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 Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
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. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! 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!

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

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!

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 continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low!

TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards!

Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
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. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again.

Ricochet survives and the fans rally up again. Dante waits on Ricochet to rise up, then he half nelsons. Lift and- NO, Ricochet slips free to dragon sleeper! VERTI- NO, Dante slips free! Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! 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
