Hangman stacks again but Moxley kicks him away! Moxley drags Hangman up, waistlocks, and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Hangman clutches his head while fans fire up again.

Doc Sampson gets in the ring and Moxley wants him to back off. Is Moxley now suffering from a concussion? Will he know how it felt for Hangman now?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone says it’s great to be back in LA and the Kia Forum, but he takes no pleasure in welcoming our guest: ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!! Fans are thunderous as the King of Harts, the Undisputed One, makes his return! And of course, fans join in on the “BOOM!” and on the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole gets the mic and says, “Who’s ready for story time with Adam Cole, baybay? Seriously, you guys have no idea how badly I wanted to say that today. So I’ve been thinking all day, literally all day, about what exactly I was going to say when I came out here. And I think the best way to describe this conversation we’re about to have as this is a Good News, Bad News type situation.”
Fans already don’t like the sound of that, but he wants to start with the good news. After everything that’s gone on these past few months, he already has a better appreciation for both pro-wrestling and for his life. “When I was nine years old, all I ever wanted to do was be a professional wrestler. And I’ve gotten to do some really awesome stuff. One of them being, I’m here in AEW, the best pro-wrestling company on the planet, here in Los Angeles!” Fans do like the sound of that!
Cole continues to say that it also made him realize how much he missed getting to be here. “Because the past few months, I was really, really banged up, everybody.” Cole had a torn up shoulder, and more importantly, he had two back-to-back, very serious head injuries. To be honest, Cole was really scared. He was seeing doctors multiple times a week, having MRIs done to him, had headaches and dizzy spells. If he was in a car for more than 15 minutes, sometimes he felt like he needed to, and then sometimes did, vomit.
But the worst part was the sleep. Cole would lay there, emotions all over the place, and he couldn’t figure out why. He’d get up at 3, 4 in the morning, pace around, heart racing, and Britt would ask him what was wrong. Cole would look at her and say, with a tear in his eyes, “I don’t know what’s happening to me.” And the thing is, none of the fans really knew what was going on, either, but so many of them were there for him. Fans cheer, and Cole says every single day, he’d read comments like, “I miss Adam Cole. I hope Adam Cole is recovering alright. I don’t care if Adam Cole never wrestles again, I just want him to be okay.” And that meant the world to Cole.
Fans cheer again, and Cole continues with, “Because pro-wrestling, at the end of the day, pro-wrestling is a give and take situation. We give you everything that we have, the fights of our lives, and in return, you show us appreciation. I had given you nothing, NOTHING, for six months, but you were still there for me. For that, I am eternally grateful, thank you.” Fans cheer even more, and chant “ADAM COLE! ADAM COLE!” Cole says here is the bad news, and fans boo. “The thing is, the bad news is not for me.” Fans like the twist! “The bad news is for the AEW locker room, because Adam Cole is back! I’m not going anywhere!”
Cole says his career was over, he thought for sure he was finished. Instead, he stands before us today, saying, “No way, I ain’t done yet!” He has been one of the best damn wrestlers on the planet for 15 YEARS, and he will not stop! He will not stop until he is THE very best! He’s accomplished a lot of amazing things, but to get real, he hasn’t even scratched the surface. Cole wants everyone, both in the building and at home, to remember this day. “This is the day where a new Adam Cole is born! An Adam Cole who will make a promise. One day, no matter how long it takes, one man will be at the top of the mountain here in AEW. And Los Angeles, his name…” is ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!!
The Acclaimed speak.
Max Caster says, “Yo! Listen! This Friday on Rampage, the Acclaimed is in Hollywood, and we’re getting one of best honors you could get, we’re going to be among some of the biggest names in show biz history. We’re talking about Roseanne Barr! Alec Baldwin! And of course, ya boi, Donald Trump!” Anthony Bowens isn’t so sure, but Billy Gunn asks, “How about my boy, Johnny Depp?” Yeah! Bowens has them both stop now. What they’re talking about is that the Hollywood Walk of Fame Board of Directors have unanimously voted for The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass to receive stars on the THE Walk of Fame! These scissors will live in concrete forever! EVERYONE! LOVES! THE ACCLAIMED!!
“Big Bill” Morrissey & Lee Moriarty w/ Stokely Hathaway VS #JungleHook!

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy & Danhausen.
Renee Paquette is with the All-Atlantic Champion and his Very Nice, Very Evil Friend. Plus, fresh off a Golden Globes win, it’s Paul Walter Hauser! Walter Hauser is happy to see Renee again, he loved being on her podcast. And he’s also a big AEW fan, so he brought “the hardware.” Renee wants to see it, but Walter says let’s wait for Rampage. Danhausen asks “Walterhausen” what is in the box. Uh, it’s Walter Hauser. Ser, not sen. Yeah, sure, same difference. Yeah, maybe they’re related. But Cassidy, Walter Hauser’s a big fan, he just wants to know if everything is cool between Cassidy and the Best Friends, Trent & Chuck.
Cassidy says yeah, they’re good. And here they are! Trent & Chuck confirm, Best Friends are still Best Friends. Then we’ll see everyone on Rampage! Hands in! Walterhausen adds on, so on three, RAMPAGE! But if Best Friends are still united, what will be next for them all in 2023?
Bryan Danielson VS Konosuke Takeshita!
The American Dragon vows to get his shot at the AEW World Championship and Maxwell Jacob Friedman, but that means becoming #1 contender. Bryan has to have a singles win streak from now until February 8th, can he do it? Or will the Future ruin Bryan’s future of facing MJF right out the gate?
But wait! Before Bryan makes his entrance, MJF makes his way out! He has a mic, of course, and he says, “LA, I know you’re not bright here, but Daddy’s holding the microphone, okay? Thanks.” Fans boo but MJF says, “Konnichiwa, bud! What’s up? How’s it going? Look, look. I’m not gonna lie to ya, I’ve been watching on The Twitter and The Reddit, and these people seem to really think you’re a big deal, huh?” Fans cheer, Konosuke IS a big deal. MJF says he’s super proud of Konosuke and isn’t gonna lie, he hasn’t seen a lick of Konosuke’s stuff.
But hey, hey! Don’t take that personally, Konosuke. Whenever MJF watches the shows back, he fast-forwards to the only part that matters, and you’re looking at him. Fans are torn but MJF wants to get this right. Konosuke’s name is a bit tricky for him. His name is “Take a sh*t a?” Is that right? Well, do him a favor, Konosuke, and don’t take one in your pants tonight, MJF really needs you on this one. Understand? Konosuke tells MJF in Japanese, and LA cheers! MJF says, “Wow. And I thought Danielson was a bad public speaker.” MJF has a “pro-tip” as the world champ, and don’t listen to the people on this. “But around here, we speak American, okay?”
Konosuke tells MJF what he said in English: “KISS! MY! ASS!!” Fans cheer and MJF shoves Konosuke, but Konosuke shoves back! MJF gets even more flustered and tells the ref to back Konosuke up and out of the ring! Out of the ring or he faces a fine! Fans boo, MJF is the one interrupting the schedule! Konosuke stays back and fans taunt “MAXI-PAD! MAXI-PAD!” MJF says they can laugh all the want, LA is still a bunch of nerds! And hold on, there’s a rumor going on he has to address. People are saying MJF is afraid of Bryan, and afraid of that one hour Ironman match. MJF is afraid he can’t last an hour. Is that right? “YES!” “Yeah?” “YES!” “Yeah?”
Well then how about LA does MJF a favor, and go ask your mamas and your sisters and your skank girlfriends just how long MJF can last! MJF swivels the hips but fans boo, not believing he scored with any of those choices. MJF says he is the REAL Ironman of pro-wrestling. Unlike that nerd, Bryan Danielson, MJF is all about “pinning shoulders on mats and banging rats!” Fans boo but MJF says, “Oh, I’m sorry. Did I offend you people here? Or even worse, is it because you people actually like Bryan Danielson? Yes, you like Bryan Danielson? That makes sense, because much like Bryan, you’re all irrelevant!
“Speaking of irrelevant, we’ve got some celebrities in the house tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, Ken Jeong’s here.” Fans cheer for Ken but MJF says, “You may remember Ken from his role of Mr. Chow from The Hangover. Yeah. What was that, Ken, like 20 years ago? No no! But it’s okay, right? We can still see your hit comedy series on ABC, Dr. Ken! Oh wait, that’s right, we can’t. Because it got canceled!” MJF laughs at Ken, and then “Speaking of people I wish would be canceled, Freddie Prinz Jr. is in the house tonight.” Fans cheer Freddie and even chant his name. MJF can’t believe that. But okay, fans may remember him from She’s All That.
Not that MJF doesn’t, he was born in 1996, and unlike all of the fans, he’s not a dinosaur. The only thing he remembers Freddie from is when he played a supporting role to a CGI talking dog! So Freddie, with all due respect, you ain’t nothing more than a Scooby Dooby Douchebag! Freddie is actually surprised to hear that one. MJF says,
“The bottom line is: all your heroes suck! Danielson’s letting you down tonight, there will be NO one hour Ironman match. Not over my dead body. And do you know why? It’s because my name is Maxwell Jacob Friedman. And I’m better than you, and-” Bryan makes his entrance!
Fans fire up as Bryan rushes the ring, and MJF runs away! And runs fast! MJF says it doesn’t matter, he still has the belt and Bryan isn’t making it past week one! Konosuke returns, the bell rings, and Konosuke rushes in! Bryan avoids the knee, but Konosuke avoids the roundhouse! Konosuke headlocks, Bryan powers out, but Konosuke runs him over. Things speed up, Bryan hurdles, but Konosuke waistlocks. Bryan bucks Konosuke, runs, but Konosuke scoops him, only for Bryan to turn Blue Thunder into a headlock takeover! Konosuke headscissors, Bryan kips free, and the two stand off as LA fires up!
The two circle and tie up. Bryan wrenches to a wristlock, then grinds a shoulder. Konosuke endures, stands up, spins and slips through to wrench Bryan back. Bryan fights up, rolls, bridges, then slips through to wrench and drop toehold. Bryan hooks up the legs, fans rally up, but Konosuke resists. Bryan grabs at the arms, then fishhooks Konosuke’s face! The ref reprimands, Bryan gets the arms, and fans fire up for the up, up and ROMERO SPECIAL! Konosuke endures, but Bryan brings him down into a chinlock variation, to then get the DRAGON SLEEPER variation! Konosuke still endures, gets his legs free, and rolls to reverse the sleeper onto Bryan!
Konosuke hooks a leg and an arm but Bryan fights up. Konosuke wrenches, then ROCKS Bryan with forearm after forearm! That last one was sharp! Konosuke stands Bryan up but Bryan CHOPS! And CHOPS!

And CHOPS him to the corner! And KICKS and KICKS and KICKS!
Bryan runs corner to corner, to DROPKICK! Bryan keeps moving, another DROPKICK! Bryan goes again, but runs into the BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Bryan survives and fans fire up, but Konosuke keeps his focus. Fans rally for Konosuke as he sits Bryan up. Konosuke CHOPS! Bryan nods, and Konosuke sits him up again. CHOP! And CHOP! Bryan goes down! Fans rally as Konosuke has Bryan in a corner. Konosuke whips Bryan corner to corner, but Bryan goes up and over! Bryan keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, to LEAPING LARIATS! But Konosuke staggers up to the ropes! Fans rally as Bryan stands up, a bloody spot on his shoulder.
Bryan CHOPS Konosuke, but Konosuke CHOPS back! Fans “WOO~” and the CHOPS continue, then AEW goes picture in picture.
Konosuke fires up! He CHOPS Bryan, but now Bryan fires up! Bryan CHOPS, Konosuke CHOPS, and Bryan has to sit down! Fans give a standing ovation as Bryan fires himself back up. Konosuke eggs Bryan on, and Bryan KICKS! And KICKS, and KICKS! Bryan whips Konosuke to ropes, but Konosuke KICKS Bryan back! Konosuke wins, but Bryan TOSSES him up and out!

Renee says we’ve seen Rock Hard Robinson all over the world, winning championships and making a name for himself, but now he is here in AEW. What is it that Robinson is looking to accomplish? Juice says she has known him a long, long time, and has never known him to be a thumb-twiddler. He isn’t a complacent kind of guy, so he’s here for a few reasons. He’s gonna kick ass and take names, winning title along the way. So that brings him to “you,” Darby Allin! The TNT Champion is giving out open challenges, so here he is! Juice wants to challenge Darby on Rampage for that TNT title! “Let’s see if you’re as tough as you think you are.” Darby is Relentless, will he be more than ready for the Juice?

Britt watches Shida closely as she keeps on Storm. Saraya keeps on Hayter, brings her around and smacks her off the steps, but Britt fires off on Storm in the corner as AEW goes picture in picture.
Britt lets off Storm to run up and stomp a mudhole into her. Hayter knocks Saray adown and hurries back to her corner. Shida checks on Saraya while Britt hits a BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Britt clamps onto Storm with a chinlock and grinds her down. Storm endures, fights up, but Britt bumps Storm off buckles. Tag to Hayter, and Hayter bumps Storm off buckles, then does it again! Hayter runs to BLAST Saraya, then she smirks as she swaggers over to Storm. Hayter SNAP JACKHAMMERS! Cover, TWO! Hayter is annoyed but she snatches Storm’s studded collar to put it on herself. Hayter taunts Storm while stomping her around.
Hayter drags Storm up but Storm CHOPS! Hayter CHOPS and Storm staggers to a corner while AEW goes to break.
Dynamite returns and Hayter has Storm’s legs. Storm kicks away at Hayter, BOOTS her to the corner, hot tags to Britt and Saraya! Saraya rallies on Britt, gives her short arm LARIAT after short arm LARIAT! Britt gets around to waistlock but Saraya fires off elbows to get free. Saraya whips Britt to a corner, runs in to KNEE Britt, and then she hits the KNIGHT CAP! Cover, TWO!! Britt survives Saraya’s take on the Lightning Spiral, but Saraya shouts, “This is MY house!” But Britt KICKS Saraya from below! Saraya drags Britt up and reels her in, but Britt wrenches out to kick low! Britt Alabama Lifts but Saraya sunset flips!
Britt rolls through but Saraya KNEES her again! Cover, TWO! Saraya is annoyed but she drags Britt up. Saraya whips Britt to the corner, runs in to back elbow, then tags Storm. Storm runs to BLAST Hayter, then runs in to HIP ATTACK Britt! Storm then reels Britt in for a TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Fans rally, Storm ties up the legs and steps over for the TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! Only for Hayter to BOOT her right down! The ref reprimands but fans cheer. Hayter and Britt drag Storm to their corner, Britt stands Storm up and throws forearms. Hayter hops in, she and Britt stomp away, and then they hoist Storm up top.
Storm fights but that’s 2v1. Hayter pulls Storm’s hair, Britt climbs up, and Hayter BLASTS Saraya! Britt brings Storm up, SUPER AIR RAID CRASH!! Cover, TWO!!! Storm survives and Britt can’t believe it! Britt drags Storm up, tags Hayter, and fans fire up for the ripcord DOUBLE ROLLNGI ELBOW! And then feed to the HAYTE BREAKER! Cover, Saraya breaks it!

Saraya returns to CLUB Britt! Saraya drags Britt up but Britt throws body shots.
Fans rally, Britt CLUBS Saraya then spins her around, underhooks for the BUTTERFLY SLAM! But Storm SUPERKICKS Britt! Storm drags Hayter up, throws forearms, but Hayter throws them back! They brawl back and forth, both holding onto wrist control! The forearms fly faster and faster, then at the same time! DOUBLE FOREARMS knock them both down! Fans are thunderous, and Rebel is distracting the ref! Shida slides her kendo stick into the ring?! Britt brags it to SMACK Storm!! Hayter ripcords for the HAYTERADE!! Cover, Britt & Hayter win!
Winners: Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
Shida realizes she just made a huge mistake! She meant to help Storm, not Britt and Hayter! Will Shida be able to make up for it? Or will The Pillar & The Killer continue to dominate the AEW Women’s Division?
Eddie Kingston & Ortiz speak.
The Mad King looks at “Monkey” and says, “There, we got the match. Are you happy? You gonna trust me now? We got the match Friday.” Ortiz responds, “I’m gonna trust you? Are you gonna trust me?” Eddie says Ortiz is only questioning him because of the weird riddles from the House of Black. Ortiz says, “Oh, I’m sorry, let me speak in riddles so maybe you’ll actually listen.” Eddie says to focus on the fact they have the match. They’ll get this done, Eddie is tired of those stooges, and he’s getting real tired of Ortiz’s attitude. Remember who he is, and where you know him from. But that’s Ortiz’s point!
Eddie just wants Ortiz to be there Friday. “Question me then, man. Play with me, watch.” Will Malakai Black & Brody King tear down Eddie & Ortiz by letting them tear themselves apart?
The Jericho Appreciation Society is here!
LA sings along with Judas as The Wizard leads the Spanish God, the Dragonslayer, Cool Hand Ange, Daddy Magic, Big Hurt, and TayJay out, all in matching golden tuxedo jackets and black slacks. And the slacks are tearaway to reveal black leather pants! Angelo Parker gets on the mic and he wants LA to take a good, long look! Now only is he having one hell of a hair day, he says the entire JAS looks good. Start calling LAÂ their town, because they are the Saints of Los Angeles! Matt Menard gets the mic now to say, “Do you wanna know what makes Daddy Magic’s nipples hard? How about the fact that last week, Jake Hager powerbombed Ricky Starks through a table!?”
Jericho gets the mic to say, “You can boo all you want, but it’s true. This was one of the biggest weeks in the Jericho Appreciation Society’s history, man! Just a couple nights ago, we invaded PWG Battle of Los Angeles! The surprise appearance heard around the wrestling world, man~! And on Rampage, Friday night, Anna & Tay are gonna kick Ruby’s and Willow’s ass in a Street Fight!” Tay starts shouting about how she IS the Street Fight, and Jericho agrees! Tay Melo IS the Street Fight!! But most importantly of all, like Menard said, Starks got powerbombed through a table, and Action Andretti was sent back to the minor leagues. The JAS wins again, the Starks Experiment is OVER!
Fans boo but here comes Ricky! The Absolute is in LA and the fans are fired up! Because he also brought along Action Andretti! Starks has a mic to say, “Well, well, well. I’m looking at a group full of a bunch of idiots who couldn’t get the job done last week when you put me through a table, because guess what? Ya boy, Stroke Daddy, is standing tall right now!” Jericho says Starks might be standing tall, but what’s with Oliver Twist here? “Hello, sir, may I have some more~?” Go back to the minor leagues, Andretti! Action says, “Chris, SHUT! THE HELL! UP!! Before I come take that baseball bat and shove it up your ass!”
Daniel Garcia steps up, and he tells Action to never disrespect Jericho like that! Oh, sorry, Daniel. Action didn’t know his new babysitter, Sammy Guevara, gave you permission to speak! Sammy wants to say something but Garcia won’t let him. Action asks “Daniel” if he’s sure Sammy is a good guy to lead you by example. Sammy can’t even keep control over his own wife! Sammy throws off his jacket but Hager holds him back. Action also says, “He sure can’t keep control over where his wife’s hands go.” Because last week, those hands were right in between ACTION’S legs! Technically, that’s true. But Hager and Jericho both have to keep Sammy back now.
Garcia shouts at Action that he just told him to shut his Chia Pet looking ass up! Garcia says he remembers when he was just like Action: a young, naïve pro-wrestler. But now that Garcia has a sports entertainer like Jericho by his side, Garcia’s on top of the world! Sammy hugs Garcia but Garcia pushes him back. Starks says to put a muzzle on the little boy right now so Starks can talk to a certain someone. This isn’t about “Count Suckula,” and it isn’t about “JAS hole one and JAS hole two.” No. Do us a favor, Chris, the time ain’t on you. Move aside for Starks. Fans echo “JAS HOLE!” and that upsets Tay most of all.
Starks tells Jericho to move his wide body to the side! DO IT!! Jericho moves, and Starks is talking to “Gilligan” and his stupid hat! Hager realizes Starks means him. Starks tells the “6’5″ dumb, purple, helmet wearing idiot” that he has a lot to say! What’s funny is that Hager was a top collegiate athlete, but he gets with Jericho and now he’s the village idiot. That right there is a shame. And despite being with Jericho, Hager still has that dumb lisp! So here’s what Starks offers Hager: next week, Mr. Absolute Starks VS Jake Hager on Dynamite! That match is already official, but Hager responds, “I LIKE THIS HAT!!” Fans actually cheer that.
Hager tells “Lil’ Ricky” that he wears lots of hats. One of them says “professional undefeated MMA fighter.” And Hager knows Starks has balls, he can see them through those white pants. But Hager is twice Starks’ size, so he’ll slap Starks’ face OFF his face! Starks says that’s all good and well, but here’s the thing! Starks will do Hager one better and help him with that speech impediment! Next week, Hager gets in the ring with someone who is ABSOLUTE! Fans fire up for the coming showdown, will Starks be the one to put the hurt on the Big Hurt?

Pac looms over Omega, drags him up, and suplexes, only for Omega to slip out! SNAP DRAGON! Fans fire up as Pac flops out, and the drums start up again.

Winners: The Elite (win the series 4-3;Â NEW AEW World Trios Champions)
Not only was this an Elite Comeback from their time away, this was an epic comeback from being down 3-1!! With this series now behind them, what is next for the TWO-TIME AEW World Trios Champions?
My Thoughts:
An amazing Dynamite here, especially with a very fired up LA crowd. I will say that compared to most other times, this week felt like it had the right balance of talking and matches, in that the balance favored matches. The promos were still good, such as Cassidy confirming that Best Friends are just fine. And because they’re in LA, they of course find a way to get a celebrity involved, but I wonder who it’d be if Walker Hauser didn’t win a Golden Globe. Or maybe it would still be him and he’d just have no Golden Globe to show off. We also got a good promo from Juice to call out Darby, and that will be a great match. I still think we need to see Orange VS Juice, though.
We also got a very good promo out of JAS, Starks and Andretti. Starks had a lot of great insults, especially “Count Suckula” for Jericho, but I wonder if we got a right hand not knowing the left hand blah blah blah moment as Starks challenge Hager to a match that was already confirmed. But either way, Starks VS Hager fits what I was hoping for in Starks going through the rest of the JAS before a rematch with Jericho. Good promo from Eddie and Ortiz to play u their distrust while confirming their match with The House of Black. That is going to be good stuff, and I can’t wait to see if there is a turn and who it is that turns.
And of course, it was great to see Adam Cole back! He set up a good swerve in making it seem like bad news was that he was still going to be gone or even have to retire, but great to hear he will be back in action very soon. Who knows what story he’ll get into, but it’ll just be good to see him in the ring again. Cole is definitely a top title scene guy, but he obviously will have to wait his turn. MJF had another good promo as he gets involved with Bryan VS Konosuke. Bryan VS Konosuke was an awesome match, and fans were even getting behind Konosuke through the course of the match. Bryan of course wins, he wasn’t going to fail the first time out. And while Bryan winning all the way to February 8th seems a given and you’d think that’s boring, it won’t be if he gives us bangers like this one every single week.
Moxley VS Hangman was also a banger and one hell of an opener. They turned LA into Lariat City, a fitting story beat given the concussion from the King Kong Lariat at Full Gear. And Hangman winning here was great stuff, it essentially ties things at 1-1. Moxley apparently getting checked for his own concussion might be more kayfabe than shoot, as it’d be quite the way to turn the tables on Mox. They might be able to use that as a reason to delay Moxley VS Hangman 3 until Revolution, and maybe that ends up the Unsanctioned Match I thought we were getting here? It’d be the best way to blow off this story and have both men go their separate ways.
The Firm VS Jungle Hook was really good stuff, and of course everyone loved seeing Hook throw Morrissey up and over. Jungle Hook wins as I expected, but I still expect 1v1 showdowns. Hell, it might not even be JB VS Big Bill, it might now be Big Bill VS Hook for the FTW Championship at some point. Great tag match out of Britt & Hayter VS Saraya & Storm, too, and I like how Shida got involved in a slightly different way than I expected. It might’ve been too obvious to have Shida attack Saraya, so I like that Shida tried to help Saraya & Storm sneak the win, only for it to backfire. Saraya will likely confront Shida about it and that leads us to their match as opposed to an outright turn.
And of course, an amazing main event with Escalara de la Muerte. Those back-to-back table spots with Omega’s “missed” Terminator tope and then Matt hitting Pac with a crossbody were both so good, and they actually gave us some rather safe ladder spots for how rough they all looked. Well, Nick being sent at the ladder via a Super Steiner was risky, as I thought he was going to crack his legs on the side of it. But in the end, The Elite winning is the right move, given that their first reign ended because of suspension stemming from #BrawlOut #Scrumgate, something that never should’ve happened. Who knows who will be their first challengers, but it’ll all be great stuff either way.
My Score: 9.3/10

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

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!

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!

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 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 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
