Three Kings Christmas Casino Trios Royale!

Ringside is a briefcase of THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS! But only one team can claim it as their Christmas bonus, who will be the three left cashing in at the end of the chaos?

The bell rings, and we have the Superbad Squad (Kip Sabian, The Butcher & The Blade) and La Faccion Ingobernables (Rush, Dralistico & Preston Vance) mugging Best Friends (Orange Cassidy, Trent Beretta & Chuck Taylor), 2v1 times three!

Claudio shrugs, but Butcher picks him up and puts him on the ropes! But then Mark Sterling tells everyone to hold on?

Smart Mark wants the music off so everyone can hear him. “Did you know that there is a law in Texas that says you cannot milk another man’s cow?

What a massive win for the young trio! One hundred grand apiece, what will these fly boys spend it on?

Eddie Kingston & Ortiz are here!

Fans cheer as The Mad King & the man affectionately known as “Monkey” head to the ring. They’ve got beef with the House of Black that needs to be settled, but they get the mics here tonight. Ortiz borrows a fan’s Pitbull cutout and Kingston barks it up. Fans bark, too, and Kingston says, “Alright, to get serious real quick, lately we’ve been seeing the House of Black come out here, beat everybody up. Last time I saw them, they dropped my man like he was a b*tch. Like he didn’t deserve to get beat down, like a herb.

“Here’s the deal. House of Black, we sent the contract to you. Guess what? You didn’t sign it. I’m not gonna wait for you guys to shut the lights on and off, like we have a power outage problem or something like that. I wanna fight you guys now! Monkey wants to fight you guys now! Do you people wanna see us kick their asses or what?” The fans cheer for that! Kingston tells the House to get out here! “Hit the lights, do the creepy crap, let’s go!” Ask and you shall receive, for the lights go down! And then they come back up in all red, with Julia Hart on stage! And she points to the screen for the House of Black to speak.

Malakai Black sighs, and says, “Ever so perceptible, Eddie. However, all in due time. However, Eddie, I was thinking. If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, then if the friend of enemy is influenced by me, would he then be his enemy, too? Interesting, right?” The House steps away into the shadows, and both Ortiz and Kingston wonder what the hell they’re talking about. Is there a question of allegiance here? But then, who is whose enemy in all of this?

Backstage interview with Sammy Guevara & Daniel Garcia.

Renee Paquette is with the Spanish God & Dragonslayer to note that last week, Jericho said Garcia was to follow the lead of Sammy. What is his reaction to that decision? Sammy wants to speak but Garcia says they’re not doing this. Garcia is going to talk for himself. And if he’s keeping it real, he doesn’t like anything about Sammy. Not his hair, not the way he dresses, but… If Jericho thinks they should stick together, Garcia being the professional and team player here, he will give it his best effort. Wow, really? A professional? Sammy says, “You know what you are? You’re a professional tight ass.” Real tight. Garcia needs to loosen up.

Sammy has Renee switch spots with him so he can stand closer to Garcia. Sammy says, “You know what you need? I know what you need. You need a hug. Bring it in!” Sammy hugs Garcia but Garcia doesn’t like it. Sammy asks if he feels it, and Garcia says yes, he feels it. Sammy says the JAS is a family. As the New Year approaches, they’re going to do great things together! Sammy & Danny! Danny & Sammy! Merry Christmas, brother! Garcia says this is what he meant. But will the sibling rivalry turn into a dynamic duo as AEW enters 2023?

AEW TBS Championship Eliminator Match: Jade Cargill w/ The Baddies VS Vertvixen!

UNDEFEATED at 44-0 and counting, TBS still stands for #ThatBitchShow. But how long can it last? Will Jade go to 45-0? Or will she owe a title match in the New Year?

The bell rings and Vert circles with Jade. They tie up, Jade THROWS Vert down, and then taunts her. Jade drags Vert up, bumps her off buckles and then stomps her. Jade ROCKS Vert, CLUBS her, and brings Vert around to scoop and carry Vert before the SLAM! Jade flexes and fans cheer while AEW goes picture in picture.

Jade drags Vert up, CLUBS her down, then brings her up again. Jade scoops to SLAM Vert, looms over her, and then whips her to ropes. Jade ELBOWS Vert down, and then taunts her. Jade drags Vert up, TOSSES her, and soaks up the cheers and jeers. Jade does push-ups just to show off! Vert flounders in the corner, Jade storms up to stomp a mudhole into her! The ref counts, Jade lets off at 4, and then she drags Vert back up. Jade bumps Vert off buckles, gives her a EuroUpper, then brings Vert around into the ropes. Jade CHOKES Vert, lets off at 4, and she argues with the ref. Velvet CHOKES Vert! Leila swipes at her!

The Baddies get away with being bad and then Jade bumps Vert off buckles. Jade bumps Vert off more buckles, then CLUBS her down! Jade stands Vert back up to CLUB her again! And again! Jade whips Vert corner to corner hard and Vert bounces off buckles! Jade scuffs Vert, paces, then SLAPS Vert down, and Rampage goes to break.

The Rampage Holiday Bash returns as Jade digs her boots into Vert! The ref counts, Jade lets off at 4, and then she dribbles. Jade runs but Vert dodges the dunk! Vert runs to kick low! Vert whips but Jade blocks to reverse. Vert ducks ‘n’ dodges but Jade SUPERKICKS Vert! Jade kicks Vert, then SCISSOR KICKS her down! Vert staggers up, into the BOOT!! Cover, Jade wins!

Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall (denies Vertvixen a title match)

And that’s 45! Vert isn’t a challenger, but who will be next for Jade to run through?

Ruby Soho speaks.

“Tay! Last week was supposed to be the end of our story. I was supposed to close that chapter of my career and rid myself of you, like I’ve wanted to for so damn long. I beat you. And I was supposed to have my moment, I was supposed to enjoy it. But Anna Jay decided differently. So I’m getting a little tired of this numbers game. As much as I didn’t really wanna ask for help, I wanted to fight this fight on my own, I think I found the perfect person to fight this fight.” Willow Nightingale excitedly hops into frame! Fist bump? Ruby says they’ll work on that. But TayJay, they’re coming for ya! That happens for New Year’s Smash on Dynamite this Wednesday!

Wardlow speaks.

“Joe, I find it very comical that you claim to be the most dangerous man in the room, but are always attacking me from behind. I find it even more comical that you’re running around, calling yourself a king, when in fact the crown you took is not yours. Remember, Joe: you never tapped me out, you never pinned me. You haven’t beaten me! This Wednesday, you playing the king comes to an end.” The Maestro of Mayhem is ready, will he play a special Powerbomb Symphony for the Samoan Submission Specialist?

New Year, New Look!

AEW Dynamite will be live, January 4th, debuting an all new aesthetic! Will Dynamite still be explosive in 2023?

Alex Marvez and a cameraman hurry outside!

“Powerhouse” Hobbs is here! And he’s got someone pinned up against the wall! Hobbs says, “I’m taking everything!” and then he throws this man down to go after the cameraman! Who won’t Hobbs manhandle in his mission to take over AEW?

Mark Henry interviews tonight’s main eventers!

The World’s Strongest Man notes that last week, Max Caster was attacked from behind by Jeff Jarrett and company, and though Caster will be ringside, he is not cleared to compete. Even though Bowens has Daddy Ass, what is Bowens’ mindset going into tonight? But Sonjay Dutt says he’ll take it from here. “Last week, we took Max Caster out. And tonight, we’re gonna take out the rest of those yahoos! And did you hear my rap on Wednesday? Man, I buried those guys!” Jay Lethal says not only did they prove they’re better musicians than The Acclaimed, they will prove that they are better wrestlers, too!

Jarrett says that’s right, and he tells The Acclaimed to- Billy stops Jarrett there, and says, “Please, please, shut up.” Billy’s known Jarrett for over 20 years, and he knows how Jarrett plays this game. If you think Billy went soft, you’re sadly mistaken! He and Bowens are gonna show them all in just a minute. Bowens says that’s right, he and Billy will beat Jarrett’s “geriatric Kid Rock lookin’ ass all over Texas!” And they should do Bowens a favor and take Caster’s advice to listen. If they listen closely, they will hear San Antonio scream the one thing they’re all scared to admit: EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED!

Well, it looks like there’s been enough talk. It’s time for the main event! Platinum Max may be sidelined, but will the Five Tool Player and Daddy Ass make sure “Triple J” never top the charts?

Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn w/ Max Caster VS Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal w/ Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh!

Caster may not be cleared to compete but he still got cleared to rap! “Acclaimed on the mic, gotta make that known. Gonna send these dudes back to the Impact Zone! How they gonna hate on me when they’re rolling with the Not So Great Khali? Stomp you in the nuts ’til you’re out of it! I’m gonna shut you down in Texas like the power grid! Yo, we gonna have to drop it. Y’all made cuz we got titles like Popovich!” Spurs fans love that one! Bowens then says, “SAAAAN AAANTONIOOOOO~! The Acclaimed have arrived! SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS~!” And they scissor finger!

The teams sort out and fans already sing, “OH~ Scissor Me Daddy~!” Bowens starts against Lethal, they circle, then tie up. They’re in a deadlock but Lethal finds a point of leverage to put Bowens in the corner. Lethal lets off, but then he sucker punches! Bowens CHOPS, Lethal haymakers, repeat! Bowens backs Lethal down with those CHOPS but Lethal knees low. Lethal whips, Bowens reverses but Lethal reverses to trip Bowens! Lethal steps through, Bowens kicks free once, but Lethal steps through again! Bowens turns that into a cradle, TWO! Bowens CHOPS but Lethal throws another hand, and they go back and forth again!

Lethal throws Bowens down, but Bowens avoids the elbow drop!

But Jarrett CLOBBERS Bowens on the outside! Jarrett grins and Sonjay talks trash while Rampage goes picture in picture!

The ref reprimands, everyone backs off of Bowens, but Billy helps Bowens up and in. Lethal stalks Bowens, stomps a leg, then drags Bowens up to toss him back out! Bowens hits hard by the ramp but Billy goes over to help him up again. Billy also tells Jarrett to back off with that chair! Jarrett does, Bowens gets in the ring but Lethal is right on him! Lethal stomps Bowens, bumps him off buckles, throws hands then digs his boot in! Sonjay talks trash as Lethal lets off. Jarrett gets cheap shots in! Caster protests but nothing can be done now. Lethal knees Bowens down, tags in Jarrett, and Jarrett stomps away.

Winners: Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal, by pinfall

Triple J had to use every card in their hands to win this one, but they still won! Will it only be a matter of time before these #LethalOutlaws snatch away the tag titles? Or can Caster get cleared and help Bowens pull off a Critically Acclaimed comeback?

My Thoughts:

A great episode for Rampage that kept it pretty concise. Good, quick promo from Wardlow to hype his match with Samoa Joe, and good promo from Ruby and Willow to hype up a match with Tay Melo & Anna Jay. And while it was obvious Jade was going to win, it was a touch surprising that it went past a commercial break, even after the picture in picture. I didn’t detect saltiness from Red Velvet but I would hope she plays that up more. That story of The Baddies falling apart and Bow Wow being the reason Jade loses just needs to happen already. They’re probably doing these eliminator matches to push Jade closer to 50 wins before she loses, but they should’ve realized to do that much sooner.

Really good promo segment from Eddie, Ortiz and the House of Black. I had a feeling Malakai would plant the seeds of distrust in Eddie, and I have a feeling instead of Ortiz turning on Eddie to join House of Black, this is going to drive Eddie so crazy that he technically turns on Ortiz and that’s how they lose to the House. I also like how brief Hobbs’ segment was, but I wish he was beating up someone more recognizable. I have no idea who that guy was, I feel like I should, but I don’t. Hobbs should’ve been mugging The Wingmen or the Workhorsemen because at least I’ve seen those guys more regularly.

Good promo from Garcia and Guevara and that went about how I expected. Garcia did question the teaming given how different he and Guevara are, but Garcia is doing his best to accept it because Jericho suggested it. This fits Garcia given he defaulted back to the JAS when he questioned if he was pro-wrestler or sports entertainer. However, with Sammy trying to be overly chummy, this will surely sour Garcia’s attitude and we’ll see that internal conflict return. Hopefully this time they milk it and bring Garcia very close to being pro-wrestler, even if he doesn’t join Blackpool Combat Club specifically.

Great Casino Trios Royale, I like that they let it go to the last person of each team. We got great stuff out of all the stories in that match, like Best Friends against Superbad Squad, LFI against Dark Order, and Moxley taking out the Dark Order just to piss Hangman off. Hangman showing up after the Dark Order was eliminated was a smart move, and we definitely need to see that Unsanctioned grudge match already. And while a lot of fans wanted Claudio to win, Top Flight was the right choice. Claudio has a title, Yuta has a title, Moxley is Moxley, they don’t need $300,000, kayfabe or otherwise. This is a great win for Fox & Top Flight, and they can use this to springboard (no pun intended) into something big next year.

And of course, great promo from the main eventers, and a great main event from “Triple J” VS Bowens & Billy. I figured Triple J would cheat in all the ways they could cheat, and that Billy would take the fall. The Acclaimed will surely put those titles up against Triple J at some point before Revolution, and they will win, but maybe the tiebreaker is build up for Revolution, where Acclaimed win again.

My Score: 8.5/10
