AEW honors and remembers Jay Briscoe.
Jay Briscoe himself once said, “Pro-wrestling’s in our soul. This is what we were created to do, man.” ROH is how he feeds his family, it is part of his life. And his family had his back. Jay & Mark are ROH legends, but even more than all the titles they held, Jay held family above all else. There isn’t a person in ROH or AEW who doesn’t respect, love and miss Jay Briscoe. #ThankYouJay.

Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
And with that, Darby checks off the last member of the House of Black! Tony Schiavone is with the Relentless One in the ring, and he says it is quite the run Darby is on. He is on a great win streak, including the Trios win alongside The Great Muta in Muta’s last Pro-Wrestling NOAH match. And all the consecutive title defenses, from Mike Bennett to Juice Robinson to Kushida, and now Buddy Matthews. Four in a row, all stemming from Darby’s amazing in against Samoa Joe in Seattle. But speaking of Joe, he’s on the tron! “Darby~! Little dead boy, little dead boy, what ever have you done?
“It was said that in the kingdoms of old, crimes of theft were punished by having your hand cut off.” But Joe tells Darby that in the Kingdom of the Joe, the One True King of Television, he will take everything from Darby. Darby’s gold, what he STOLE from Joe, feels comfortable and right. But know this: Joe is coming to take back what’s his. The King will not be usurped by a man like Darby! And Darby will learn that winning that TNT title was the greatest mistake of his career. “The King has spoken.” The ROH World Television Champion wants what Darby has, but when and where will they face off again?
Adam Cole speaks.
“The past six months, my entire recovery process, it was very much one step forward and two steps back. But today, today is a giant step forward. No one has any idea how much I missed being here. Seeing the crew, hearing the roar of the fans, just being in this ring for the first time in a very, very long time, it feels good. And it’s showing me that all this hard work, all this determination, it is paying off. I know I’m not exactly where I’d like to be yet, but every single day, I am working towards getting back and becoming a brand new Adam Cole.
“Tonight, I’m going to be able to rest easy, knowing that I got the chance to step into this AEW ring. Tonight, I’m gonna sleep easy knowing that there’s a roster full of some of the best pro-wresters on the planet that I’m gonna have the chance to tangle with. I don’t know exactly when that day is yet, but I promise you, that day is coming soon.” Adam Cole looks to the AEW Revolution sign in the arena. Can Cole make March 5th undisputed?
Is that Jeff Hardy’s music?!
It is! But wait, Matt Hardy and Ethan Page walk out. Ethan has them cut the music. He and Stokely Hathaway are upset that they played the wrong music. But don’t boo, Ethan and Matt are gonna look great! Ethan even gave Hardy back the Twist of Fate! But we all agreed as a team, Ethan is the star of the show! Right, Isiah? Stokely adds, “Ain’t that right, Isiah?” Isiah Kassidy says, “Hell nah!” What did he say!? “I said… Hell. Nah!” Stokely unbuttons Kassidy’s jacket to reveal the Ethan Page shirt. Why’s he wearing that, then? Stokely tells Kassidy to put the chain on him. Oh, wait, he’ll put it in a way Kassidy can understand: “Put my chain on, dead ass.”
Ethan says while that’s happening, play the RIGHT music! Ethan’s theme plays, All Ego and Hardy head to the ring. Will The Firm DELETE Jack Perry & the FTW Champion? Or will they regret wanting them to #SendJungleHook?

Winners: #JungleHook, by submission
All Ego just lost because of that ego! These cold-hearted, handsome devils are undefeated at 2-0, will they think of making this a regular thing?
Billy Gunn, The Acclaimed & The Gunn Sons are in family therapy.
The AEW therapist asks who would like to start, and Billy says he should, as he called for this. He will address the biggest issue: When did Austin & Colten “become so entitled, and just spoiled brats?” Austin says, “I’m sorry if I forget. When did you have anything to do with how we were raised? Our entire childhood, you were on the road 320 days out of the year.” Colten says that the “dream of having the tag titles with them (The Acclaimed) was supposed to be with us, and you (Billy) ditched us.” Billy’s sons always come second to him, so when are they going to be first? Never, it seems.
Anthony Bowens speaks up. “I think you two are the biggest pieces of sh*t I have ever met in my entire life. And I mean that.” But Austin & Colten do have the opportunity to mend that. They had all the time in the world to make up for that time they missed with their dad, and the second Billy showed The Acclaimed even a little bit of attention, they couldn’t control their jealousy and put hands on him. That’s where The Acclaimed stepped in. That’s why Billy adopted The Acclaimed. Max Caster agrees, and that is why he has no sympathy for Austin & Colten. “You think you can be The Acclaimed, you want to be the champions, but you can’t do what we do.”
Gunn Club, Billy, Austin & Colten all together, they would’ve been fine, but they wouldn’t have been what this is now. They wouldn’t have the top merchandise. That’s funny coming from Caster. Who helped Caster when Bowens was in a wheelchair? The Gunns. And yet in Caster’s raps, he had the nerve to call them “Ass Boys.” They were all supposed to be friends. And then when Bowens finally got out of the wheelchair, he hits Austin in the head with a crutch! And yet, Austin & Colten are the bad guys? That’s somehow their fault? Bowens says not to rewrite history, but they start arguing. Billy and the therapist calm this all down.
Billy gets both points, he really does. But Austin & Colten took the easy way out! What happened to them? Colten says their faults as sons are Billy’s failures as a father. Billy takes a breath. This has to get resolved, this is getting to be too much, and Billy can’t handle it. What is it the Gunns want? What would make them happy? The AEW World Tag Team Championships. Austin & Colten leave, and reconciliation seems impossible. Is fighting the only thing left that can end this?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee Paquette again interviews The Cowboy, and says that after talking last week, something stuck with her. She asked Hangman what was next for him, and he gave a rather vague response. She wants to know if he’ll be more specific this week about what he wants to accomplish. Hangman says that sometimes, Renee asks questions “that we really don’t want to answer.” And without getting too into his personal life and keeping it to wrestling, the more Hangman looks forward, he can’t help but see back. Back to Ohio, where this all started with him and Jon Moxley. And Hangman sees now that he and Moxley are 1-1.
And Hangman knows now that next week, AEW will be in Dayton, Ohio. So the next thing Hangman would like to try and do would be the impossible: knockout Jon Moxley in Ohio. But then Wheeler Yuta walks in to tell Hangman that he has one thing right: it IS impossible for Hangman to knockout Moxley in Ohio. But while Moxley isn’t cleared to compete tonight, Moxley will be ready for next week, and he accepts the challenge. Well, good. But speaking of challenges, Hangman sure is running his mouth a lot about a guy who isn’t cleared, so how about he face YUTA on Rampage?
Hangman says sure, but he has a question for Yuta: “Why do you think what happened to Jon isn’t gonna happen to you, too?” Hangman tells the Decoder he’ll see him Friday, will the Cowboy make an example out of him before going for the tiebreaker with Moxley?

Backstage interview with Bryan Danielson.
Renee is with Bryan in the trainer’s room to get a medical update. Doc Sampson says Bryan’s got a partially subluxation to the shoulder joint, AKA it’s not good. So what does that mean for the immediate future? In Sampson’s opinion- Bryan says he doesn’t care what Sampson thinks! Can he wrestle or not? Sampson hesitates, so Bryan shouts, “CAN I WRESTLE OR CAN I NOT WRESTLE!?” Sampson says at this point, no! But Bryan says, “Yes I can!” Sampson says it’s a partial sub-whatever, Bryan doesn’t care if it’s dislocated! Bryan wrestled SIXTY GADDAMN MINUTES with a separated shoulder!! “Ain’t nobody stopping me from wrestling!”
Bryan tells “Max” that while he claims there’s some monster, Bryan just sees fear! MJF is afraid of getting hurt, of being exposed, and that Bryan will take the one thing MJF cares most about in this world in the AEW World Championship! But when Bryan does, he won’t just expose MJF. Bryan will show that what’s really behind MJF’s mask is a fraud. And then, the person who will be and should be AEW World Champion is Bryan Danielson! Bryan tells Sampson that he’s not stopping Bryan from wrestling ever again. Bryan heads out, but is this a move that plays right into MJF’s hands?
Toni Storm VS Ruby Soho!
As they say, “Card subject to change.” What was meant to be a Triple Threat cannot be as Britt Baker is out with injury. But that’s more than okay with these two! They don’t like Britt, and after Storm turned on Willow Nightingale, Soho doesn’t like Storm, either! Will there be #NoFuture for #ToniTime? Or will Destination Unknown be struck by the Lightning From Down Under?
The bell rings and fans rally as Storm and Soho circle. They tie up, go around, go along the ropes, and in a corner. The roundabout ends with Soho in control, but Storm shoves her away. Soho storms back up but Storm bails out. Storm lets things cool off and then steps back into the ring. They circle, Soho rushes in but Storm throws her down by her hair! Soho gets right up to shove Storm but Storm shoves her back. Soho throws a forearm but Storm gives it back! Fans fire up as the shots go back and forth, and Soho gets the edge! But Storm stomps Soho’s foot, runs the ropes, and BOOTS Soho down!
Fans duel as Storm scowls and stalks Soho to a corner. Storm digs her boots in, lets off, then drags Soho up. TORNADO- NO, Soho powers out, then spins Storm around to ROCK, CHOP and repeat! Soho has Storm in the corner for even more! The ref counts, Soho reels back, but Storm puts up her guard! Soho waits, Storm lowers her guard, and Soho ROCKS her!

And then into the apron! Storm POSTS Soho and Soho falls, but Storm drags her back up. Storm whips Soho into railing hard! Soho writhes while Storm goes into the ring to soak up the heat. Storm again acts like she doesn’t know what’s wrong, while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Soho crawls her way over to the ring but Storm wants the count. The count begins, but Soho drags her way over. Storm paces around, Soho gets in at 5 of 10, but Storm stands on her! The ref counts, Storm steps off quickly, and then she drags Soho up. Storm CHOPS again, but Soho eggs her on! Storm CHOPS again, and again, and then ROCKS Soho with a forearm! Soho goes to a corner, Storm stands her up to UPPERCUT! Storm TOSSES Soho across the way, then storms up, only for Ruby to kick her low. Storm stomps a mudhole into Soho! Storm scowls as she lets off, and then she digs her knee in!
The ref counts, Storm lets off at 4, and Soho sputters to the ropes. Storm CHOKES Soho on the ropes with both knees! The ref counts, Storm lets off, and then she drags Soho up. Snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Storm shakes her head, not understanding why Soho’s fighting so hard. Storm kicks her around, stands on Soho’s fingers, and then CLUBS Soho down. Storm clamps onto Soho with a seated full nelson! Soho endures and fans rally up. Soho fights to her feet, but Storm thrashes her back down! Storm leans on the hold but Soho still endures. Soho fights back to her feet and Dynamite returns to single picture.
Fans rally for Soho and she runs to RAM Storm into buckles! Soho elbows Storm, goes up and hits DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! Storm staggers, Soho reels her in, SAIDO! Soho drags Storm up, to SAIDO again! Storm stagger sup, into palm strikes and a SOBAT! Front KICK, STO! Fans fire up with Soho as she has a wild look in her eyes! Soho spins Storm around, reels her in, and clinches, but Storm rolls Soho up with tights! TWO!! Storm knees low, reels Soho in, but Soho wrenches out to NO FUTURE KICK! Storm goes down, Soho covers, TWO!! Storm survives and Soho is frustrated. But Soho drags Storm into a drop zone!
Soho climbs the corner as fans fire up. Soho aims, and SUPER- NO, she has to bail out of the senton as Storm moves! Soho blocks a kick to KNEE Storm back! Storm clutches her nose and goes to ropes! The ref has Soho stay back as Storm holds her nose. It was broken once before, did it get broken again? Fans boo, they don’t trust this. Soho isn’t sure what to do, she didn’t want to hurt Storm. But then Storm YANKS Soho into ropes! It WAS a fake-out! And then Storm GERMAN SUPLEXES Soho! Fans boo more as Storm smiles and breathes just fine. Storm then runs corner to corner, SWEET HIP MUSIC!! And then TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO!!
Soho survives and fans fire up while Storm loses her mind! Storm drags Soho up and reels her in, but BRITT BAKER is here?!? Injured or not, The Doctor is still gonna show up on AEW! Storm snarls at the DMD, but turns around into DESTINATION UNKNOWN! Cover, Soho wins!!
Winner: Ruby Soho, by pinfall
Again, injured or not, Britt had an effect on this match! The homegrown star tipped the scales in Soho’s favor, have the battle lines been drawn?
MJF speaks.
“My apologies that I’m speaking to you people in a dimly lit locker room, but unfortunately, some people, ah, they just can’t seem to control their emotions around here. Granted, I’m not the first Jew that had to hide from a man with blue eyes, now am I? Takeshita! Yeah, that’s right, big man, I know how to pronounce your name. Granted, I still think ‘Take-a-shit-a’ is freakin’ hilarious. But hey, I can’t force the fans to have taste. But I have taste, Takeshita. I think you’re really talented, man. Inside that squared circle, you are very, very talented. But unfortunately, up top, you’re a little bit smooth-brain. You think it’s a good idea to dance with the devil, and I am here to tell you, you can’t match my tempo. So stay out of my business, or there will be consequences.
“Speaking of, Bryan Danielson! The American Dragon! How’s that wing of yours doing, bud? Bet it’s hanging on by a thread. But no, you’re gonna keep on going, right? You’re gonna keep on marching towards March 5th, AEW Revolution, that One Hour Ironman Match. Because you’re so brave, you’re a valiant warrior, you’re a hero! At least, that’s what the fans think of you, but I know better. See, I know you’re obsessed. Just like I’m obsessed with Triple B, the AEW World Championship. See, this belt gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Because this belt stands for the simple fact that all my blood, sweat, hard work, tears, and my sins, they were all worth it.
“This belt turns my catchphrase into a fact! This belt does make me better than you, and you know it. This belt is the only thing in my life that makes me feel whole. And you wanna take that away from me, Bryan? Why? Don’t you have enough, man? Loving family, adoring fanbase, first ballot Hall of Fame career, but no. You need to take away from Max! I know the real reason why, Bryan. It’s because just like me, you’ve got a hole in your soul and you’re trying to fill it. But I’m not the one to get that job done, Bryan. Nah, not by a long shot. Bad things happen to people that mess with MJF in this company.
“Matter of fact, I remember knocking out some big British guy. Kinda looked like Ellen DeGeneres on meth. The name’s on the tip of my tongue. Ah, it’s not important. What is important is this: Tonight was just the tip of the iceberg, and if you keep trying to take away the one thing in this world that brings me happiness, you’re gonna find out that tonight was only physical pain, and physical pain is fleeting. You don’t want me to get to the mental pain, Bryan. Because that really leaves a scar.
“Now this week, Tony Khan has issued out an open contract to any man to fight you on next week’s Dynamite. So I made a phone call to a man who loves inflicting pain. A man who gets off on scientifically dismantling men limb from limb. It’s been a fun ride, Dragon. But I’m afraid it’s over. Roll the clip.” MJF’s next mercenary: TIMOTHY THATCHER!! He just won in brutal fashion in Pro-Wrestling Noah, and he really does enjoy hurting his opponents! Will Thatcher do the dirty work of MJF and tear that subluxated arm clean off?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!
On top of Hangman VS Yuta, and on top of “Powerhouse” Hobbs being back in action, we will see an AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator match! Jamie Hayter takes on THE Emi Sakura!
Jamie Hayter speaks.
“In my opinion, Emi Sakura is a professional wrestling legend. The amount of times she’s broken her back for this business, bled for this business. She got her bloody head shaved for this business! She’s the kind of woman I need to be in the ring with, and I need to beat her.” Hayter knows it’s been awhile since she and Emi met in the ring, but she’s different now. And when they face off on Rampage, even the legend will understand #HayterHitsHard.
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite next week!

AEW returns from break and Mar makes his entrance, holding onto the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Bobby Cruise makes the introductions as the emotions already well up inside Lethal and Mark.

The standing ovation is back, Mark wins this one for his brother! On what would’ve been Jay’s 39th birthday, we all celebrate the life, career, passion, dedication and love of Jay Briscoe. The combined AEW and ROH roster is on stage to join the standing ovation as Lethal and Mark hug it out. Lethal then goes up the ramp, he hugs it out with Sonjay Dutt, and Mark celebrates with the fans. Mark then hugs it out with Christopher Daniels, Tony Khan, and even Rush and BJ Whitmer. #ThankYouJayBriscoe, we will always remember you.
My Thoughts:
A great episode, but made even better by Warner Brothers Discovery letting off on their anti-Briscoe stance in the wake of Jay’s passing. Mark VS Lethal was such a great match, especially in terms of honoring Jay. There will still be a bigger, more ROH based tribute show via Honor Club, but I almost feel like nothing else could top what we got. We also got a good promo from Adam Cole to further hype his return, and I think Revolution is a good target to aim for. Another month is a good amount of time to prepare, but he’d have to find an opponent to face pretty quickly to make sure they can put it on the card and advertise it.
Great opening tag match, and of course the JAS cheat to get the win. The feud between them and Starks-Andretti is far from over, but I think there has to be one last 1v1 of Starks VS Jericho to really settle it. Great TNT title match from Darby VS Buddy, with great overbooking of Sting and Ortiz getting after Malakai and Brody. This very well could be how Ortiz proves to Eddie Kingston that he was never in cahoots with The House of Black, but maybe Eddie just thinks this was a fake-out. Pretty funny swerve with the theme music for Ethan & Hardy VS Jungle Hook. Great match, too, and good booking of the finish. Jungle Hook really could become a full-time team, fans love them both anyway.
And then Darby VS Joe being set up next week, TNT title under No Holds Barred, holy crap that’s going to be awesome. They’re going to go above and beyond, and that could mean either guy wins. But at the same time, it’d be a shame for Darby only holding onto the title for a month just to give Joe another double title run. Darby will surely win, and I would love if Hobbs showed up after to attack and stake his claim to the title. Darby VS Hobbs could be awesome stuff, and probably set for Revolution to really add to that PPV.
Good “therapy” promo from Acclaimed and Gunn Club. I’m with Daddy Ass, those were good points from both sides, and of course this is about the tag titles. Acclaimed will surely win their tag match next week, only for Gunns to attack them like they did with FTR to get at them. Acclaimed VS Gunns could happen at Revolution, but they’d really have to stretch this out somehow. Good promo from Hangman and I’m surprised we’re getting Hangman VS Moxley Round 3 so soon. And still not Unsanctioned No Holds Barred like I expected. Hangman VS Yuta will be a great match for Rampage, and I would think Hangman will win that.
Great stuff from Bryan VS Brian, and of course we get both Bryan winning but his arm being viciously attacked. Konosuke making the save was great, though he could’ve gotten out there a bit sooner. Good promo from MJF to call both Konosuke and Bryan out, and I would love to see Konosuke VS Cage at some point. Bryan had a great promo to tell off Doc Sampson and MJF, and Bryan will definitely find a way to win his next two matches. Bryan winning with one arm, then wrestling against MJF for an hour with one arm, that’s gonna be some powerful stuff. But somehow, someway, MJF is surely winning at Revolution.
Good promo from Hayter to call out Emi Sakura, and that will be a real good match for Rampage. And great stuff from Soho VS Storm in place of the Triple Threat we were supposed to get. Britt Baker’s injury is being kept under wraps, but it clearly wasn’t too serious since she was able to show up and distract Storm. Tony Khan has been quoted as saying the Triple Threat will happen when Britt is 100%, and maybe it’ll name a #1 contender to Hayter’s title for Revolution. At the same time, Shida has to get in on this story after finding herself stuck between Saraya & Storm with their “We’re better cuz we got started before AEW” and the fact AEW got her international success.
My Score: 8.9/10

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone & Kamille.
Renee Paquette meets The CEO & Brickhouse just outside their locker room and wants to talk the TBS Championship defense against Kris Statlander. Mone rolls her eyes and says yes, she knows. But don’t even ask about a question before you know what’s up. “Bridgeport~! Say hello to your C E O.” Okay, well, to the point, Mone & Kamille tried to run Kris over with their car. What?! That was NOT Mone’s fault, Kamille cannot drive. Mone pushes her pink coat into Kamille, who drops it because of her bad arm. Mone gets mad at Kamille for dropping her 20 THOUSAND DOLLAR jacket and tells her to put it in the locker room.
Mone says Kamille’s incompetence is stressing her out. But so is Statlander. Mone is not afraid of her, did you not see Collision? Mone put Kris in the Statement Maker and made her beg for mercy! That is just a little preview of what’s to come. Now, Mone has to get ready for the show and- KRIS IS HERE! Mone freaks out, Kamille looks in the hall to see what’s going on, and Kris THROWS her into a wall! Kris stalks Mone, Mone hits back and they brawl in the hall! Kris picks Money up, Kamille grabs Mone, Mone CLAWS Kris’s eyes! Kris TACKLES them both through a wall!! Was THAT a preview of what’s gonna happen when the gold is on the line?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
AEW returns as Schiavone welcomes in the Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay! The fans fire up as Ospreay makes his entrance, feeling much better after his big return last week. Schiavone says Ospreay is of course focused on getting the International Championship back, which is owned by Konosuke Takeshita and all but stolen from him. But surely, Ospreay’s mind is also on Don Callis and what’s going on with his old friend, Kyle Fletcher. Ospreay says he doesn’t really know. He has a lot of questions he needs answers for. Ospreay thanks the fans for the singing, but he says the title is second for right now.
So if Schiavone doesn’t mind, Ospreay’s gonna call out Fletcher and they’ll have a chat. Schiavone steps aside and here comes The Protostar already! Kyle stares Ospreay down as he stands on stage, and Kyle tells Ospreay that the Family begged Kyle not to do this on his own. But Kyle wants to prove he is not a coward, unlike Ospreay. Because weeks ago, Kyle called Ospreay out and yet Ospreay would rather sit at home and lick his wounds than show up for the people. So Kyle is here face to face, man to man, and wants Ospreay to know the Family is never far behind. So much as lay a finger on him, and Ospreay will be sent home for a lot longer than three weeks this time.
That said, what does Ospreay wanna talk about? Ospreay says hang on a minute. He’s been in the Don Callis Family meetings. Surely Kyle has something in his back pocket. Whatever it is, get it out of there. Ospreay promises he won’t touch Kyle, he just wants to talk. Kyle brings out the screwdriver! And he tosses it to the feet of Ospreay. Ospreay picks it up, and throws it down on the floor. It sticks right in the mat! Kyle asks if Ospreay is happy, and Ospreay says not really. He’s looking at someone he used to call a brother, and is starting to feel hatred and anger. Kyle lived in Ospreay’s house! And while in Australia during Pandemic, Kyle was working in a warehouse going stir crazy.
Ospreay let Kyle live with Ospreay, he joined The United Empire. Ospreay, Kyle and Mark Davis took over Japan, England, and obviously Ospreay opened the door to Kyle here in AEW. This is what annoys Ospreay: Kyle knows everything about Ospreay. From where he goes to the gym, to where he lives. Kyle’s been with Ospreay to go pick up his son from school. That frightens the Missus, it upsets Ospreay, so Ospreay wants answers. Ospreay wants them from Kyle’s mouth. Kyle says surprise surprise, Ospreay is taking credit for someone else’s success. Callis only opened Kyle’s eyes to the truth.
The fans boo but Kyle says while Ospreay did all that, from shelter to food, who was Ospreay really doing that for? For Kyle? No, Ospreay was doing it for Ospreay. Everything Ospreay does is about Ospreay! Ospreay wanted to mold Kyle into a Ospreay clone so he could succeed, but never as much as Ospreay. Ospreay is selfish and hypocritical! Fans call BS but Kyle says he did exactly what Ospreay would’ve done in his shoes! From Okada to Omega, Ospreay would’ve done the exact same thing! Oh get over yourself! The last time Ospreay saw Kyle, Ospreay was on the couch with his little boy, watching Kyle shaving his head, shouting on about how he’s nothing like Ospreay.
So now, Kyle is bringing up Ospreay’s past and saying Kyle is doing the same? Pick a lane, son! Are you nothing like Ospreay? Or are you a clone? But you wanna bring up the past? Fine! Ospreay will own it. He stabbed Okada in the back, stabbed Omega in the back, but before all that, he was a THREE-TIME IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion! A TWO-TIME Best of the Super Junior winner! Every continent he’s been on, Ospreay has held gold! So tell Ospreay, Kyle, what have you done!? And do NOT use Aussie Open. What has KYLE FLETCHER done?! SOD ALL, lad!
Ospreay wants to know what Kyle has done? How about what he’s going to do? Kyle will surpass Ospreay and every single accomplishment he’s ever had. And Kyle will prove it at Full Gear! November 23rd, live on PAY PER VIEW, Fletcher VS Ospreay! The fans do like the sound of that. Ospreay says there it is, that’s what this has been all about. Kyle wants his five minutes of fame! He wants his PPV match! Well look no further, lad! Because around these parts, Ospreay is Mr. PPV! Since Ospreay’s been here, there have been four different world champs, and none of them can match what Ospreay can do!
The fans fire up as Ospreay says if Kyle wants the match, then CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! And let Ospreay tell Kyle why this will be so sweet. When Kyle shaved his head, Ospreay sitting there with his six year old son, Kyle does not know the damage he did. This left hand could barely feel anything anymore. And after Kyle shaved his head, Ospreay’s son was holding his hand, and Ospreay didn’t even know it until he looked down! KYLE did that to Ospreay. Kyle took that from Ospreay and Ospreay’s son. So this is a nice little carrot: Full Gear, 11/23/24. And now Ospreay will be the one to take THAT from Kyle!
Kyle says if you think that Tiger Driver and the screwdriver stab were bad, Kyle isn’t coming for a piece, but he’s coming for it all! But let’s see what condition Ospreay shows up to Full Gear in. Oh, now Kyle’s got friends? Brian Cage & Lance Archer step up, but Ospreay says no worries. He’s got friends, too! Will Hobbs & Mark Davis step in! The fans fire up. Ospreay asks if we’re standing around like a-holes or are we gonna fight? And so they fight! The fans fire up as we get Ospreay and Kyle, Hobbs and Cage, then Mark and Archer! Mark puts Archer in a corner, Kyle does the same with Ospreay, and they turn around to see each other!
The fans fire up as Aussie Open jaws at each other. Ospreay BOOTS Kyle, Mark sighs, but then Ospreay PLANCHAS out onto Kyle! Archer DECKS Davis! Ospreay and Kyle brawl up the ramp, as do Cage and Hobbs! But wait! HERE COMES Roderick Strong! Archer goes up to the ramp, but Roddy comes in from around the way! KENDO STICK SMACK! Roddy’s ready for that Falls Count Anywhere! The bell rings now, this match is happening NOW!
Falls Count Anywhere: Roderick Strong VS Lance Archer!
The Savior of the Backbreaker brawls with the Murderhawk Monster into the backstage area, fighting even in the darkness just behind the paneling. Archer CHOKE SLAMS Roddy down through a table!

Roddy lets off while the fans fire up, but Brian Cage returns! The Machine CLOBBERS Roddy, now this is a 2v1 match! The fans boo but Cage reels Roddy in. Roddy fights the bomb, but Archer choke grips! Roddy flails, here comes The Kingdom! The fans fire up as Taven & Bennett turn the tides! Bennett has Cage, Taven helps Roddy with Archer.

At Full Gear, this all ends, and I’m gonna finish your ass!” But wait! KONOSUKE TAKESHITA ATTACKS! The Alpha makes sure Roddy is in no good shape to face MJF! But wait! Here comes Adam Cole! The other part of this equation is now in play! Will the Panama City Playboy make things much worse for Max in Newark? Cole runs up, dodges Takeshita and then fires hands!

Konosuke stands on Cole’s face at the ropes, then steps off as the ref counts. Konosuke then stalks Cole to ropes to CHOKE him! The ref counts again, Konosuke steps off, and Konosuke puts Cole in a corner. TO CHOKE! The ref counts again, Konosuke takes a swing, but Cole ducks it!

Cole offers a handshake in thanks, but Kyle leaves him hanging. Kyle is Conglomeration now, is he moving past his past? As for Cole & Roddy, will MJF suffer their wrath all the same come Full Gear?
The Death Riders pull into the parking lot.
Marina Shafir has the briefcase and holds the door for Jon Moxley. They, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta head inside, ready to take over! But what will they have planned for Dynamite once they’re in control?
Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.
Renee welcomes in Shelton Benjamin, Montel Vontavious Porter & “The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley. Renee says in just over a week, Full Gear, Lashley has his first AEW match against Swerve Strickland. Swerve is perhaps the most dangerous man in all of pro-wrestling today, and one of the most decorated champions we’ve had in AEW. Does Lashley feel prepared for- MVP interrupts and asks where Renee got her journalism degree. No, don’t answer that. MVP will take this from here. Lashley, you are without question the most indominable force in pro-wrestling today, one of the most decorated champions in the history of this sport!
How does it feel to know that in less than two weeks, he may end young Swerve’s career? Lashley tells Renee that Swerve is dangerous to everyone else. But Lashley will make an example out of Swerve. Lashley will hurt Swerve. MVP says you heard it from Lashley himself. Swerve will be in action later on tonight, and The Hurt Syndicate will be watching. That’s how it’s done. Renee thanks MVP and the Hurt Syndicate for their time, but will Lio Rush prove to everyone that he is the Man of the Hour?
The Death Riders are attacking!
Claudio Castagnoli SMACKS JD Drake on the back with a chair! Then he hands said chair to Wheeler Yuta, and Yuta SAMCKS JD! And then SMACKS him again! And here comes Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir. Yuta & Claudio leave Scrap Metal behind to walk down the ramp while Moxley & Marina walk in from the crowd. They all meet at the ring, and Marina even intimidates a cameraman into the ring! The fans are torn but Moxley ahs a mic. “I’ve been thinking about Orange Cassidy a lot these last few days. He’s playing the game very well. Chuck Taylor is drinking his food through a straw because you couldn’t save him.
“Wheeler Yuta belongs in me, believes in me, because you couldn’t save him. And you’re undeterred. Hands in your pockets, eyes on the prize, Orange Cassidy, you have the chance of a lifetime on November 23rd. A shot at the AEW World Championship. All your friends, all your fans, all your peers, are depending on you. That pressure is building, and you’re cool as a cucumber. So I have to make an example out of Orange Cassidy at Full Gear on November 23rd, and I will make an example out of you at Full Gear, Orange Cassidy. I’m gonna brutalize Orange Cassidy! I’m gonna stomp his face into hamburger meat. I’ll mutilate him so bad, his own mother won’t recognize him.
“And everybody will see that. Everyone who wants to call themselves a contender, everybody who thinks they wanna be somebody in this business will see that, and they will run and hide! And we will continue to do whatever the hell we want in AEW, because I command the AEW Championship, and WE have the power!” The fans boo, but here comes Cassidy! The fans fire up as Freshly Squeezed steps out on stage, mic in hand. The fans cheer Cassidy on, but he’s not alone! Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero are here! Cassidy says, “Hello. See, I wanted to come out here and let you know, Jon, that I agree with you. I believe you.
“I believe you can do all the things you say you’re gonna do, and it’s because of what’s in that briefcase. See, you hold the symbol that represents AEW. That represents me, that represents us, represents all of these people. It represents everything professional wrestling can be. It’s the power. You hold the AEW World Championship. But see, we could fight all around this building, we could fight in the parking lot, we could fight in catering. It doesn’t matter, because the only way you become AEW World Champion is by wrestling. And for a guy who doesn’t like to wrestle, I wrestle more than anybody else here.
“And I’m pretty good at it, too, because, uh… I beat you, remember that?” The fans cheer and Cassidy says at Full Gear, he and Moxley will wrestle, and Cassidy will beat Moxley again. Then Cassidy takes the power back. Moxley said a couple years ago that while everyone else was playing checkers, Cassidy and Moxley were playing chess. There are still some pawns that Cassidy has to get rid of. One in particular is Wheeler Yuta. Next week, Cassidy and Yuta will wrestle, and Cassidy will remove the pawn that lets him take the king. Yuta says he is no one’s pawn, but Claudio tells him to stop talking.
Moxley says if Cassidy wants Yuta next week, we’ll see if Cassidy has the guts to pull the trigger on someone he thought was his friend. Either way, at Full Gear, Moxley only has one message for Cassidy, for his friends, and for anyone else who wants what he has. November 23rd, abandon all hope! The Maniac now leads his Death Riders away into the night. Will Moxley be on top of AEW then, now and forever? Or will- WAIT, someone in a Sting mask jumps from the vomitorium and CLOBBERS Moxley, Yuta & Claudio! It’s DARBY! Darby Allin fires hands on Claudio, Yuta goes after Darby, and now Conglomeration joins in!
The fans fire up as the brawl goes into the hallway! Yuta has Cassidy in a SLEEPER! Marina escorts Moxley away while Claudio drags Darby into the back! Conglomeration focuses on helping Cassidy and Darby, but our cameras follow Moxley. Moxley and Marina get in their truck, Claudio has caught up, but where’s Yuta? Too late, the truck takes off! Wait, Darby LEAPS into the truck bed! The truck stops, Claudio gets out to go after Darby and the brawl is on again! Claudio RAMS Darby into the side of the truck, then all the way into the garage door! Claudio SWINGS Darby around, and back into the garage door!
The Swiss Superman leaves Darby behind, but the Death Riders barely wait for Yuta to hop in the back before taking off again. Darby shouts, “Where’re you going, Claudio!? I’m still standing!” Darby leans against the garage door, Cassidy & Mark help him back up. The Death Riders have fled into the night, but will they make sure to stay away until Full Gear?
Backstage interview with The Learning Tree.
Renee is now with Chris Jericho, Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey as she brings up Tomohiro Ishii officially challenging Jericho for the ROH World Championship. It will be in two weeks, Dynamite in Chicago, will Jericho accept? Bill says, “Challenge? As the Learning Tree always says, a person’s true self is not seen in moments of glory, but in moments of hardship and challenge.” Jericho says, “Well said, Redwood. And thanks, Renee. Ishii, I’ve got a soft spot for you because we’ve known each other for almost 30 years, ever since we were both working for Genshiro Tenryu in WAR in Japan.
“Albeit, I was a huge main event star, and you were nothing more than a rookie, a Young Boy. You used to get me coffee, carry my bags, and even wash my back in the shower. Hahaha! But Ishii, you’ve gone on to become one of the toughest and best pro-wrestlers in the world. I should know, because it was only two years ago that we had a classic match, one of my favorite in AEW, and one of the toughest I’ve ever had, also in Chicago. So it’s only apropos that in two weeks on Dynamite, we’re gonna face each other. I do accept your challenge, Ishii, for the ROH World Championship, Jericho VS Ishii.
“But I’ve gone on to bigger and better things, as well. Because now, I’ve become the Nueve.” Jericho, Keith & Bill all hold up nine fingers. Jericho reminds us he is a NINE-TIME world champion, and a TWO-TIME ROH World Champion. So now, Jericho will invoke the glory and courage of great ROH champions of the past, like Jay Briscoe. And he’ll do that while teaching Ishii a lesson that he won’t forget, ever again. Keith says in the Windy City, Jericho blows Ishii’s dumb ass away! Jericho says truer words have never been spoken. Thanks, guys! But will Jericho have very little to be thankful after the Stone Pitbull takes a bite out of him?
Britt Baker VS Penelope Ford!
The Doctor is in, and she’s looking to get one more win to prove she’s back in top form. But will she be primed for a shot at the gold in time for Full Gear? Or will Mrs. Superbad take out her frustrations here tonight?

Ford scuffs Britt, but Britt fires more body shots. Ford CLUBS Britt down, drags her up again, and bumps her off buckles. Ford brings Britt along ropes to then CHOKE her! The ref counts, Ford taunts Britt, but lets off at 4. Britt sputters while Ford “apologizes,” then Ford brings Britt up. Ford fires hands in the corner, then bumps her off buckles again. Ford pie faces Britt, but Britt ROCKS Ford! Ford storms up but Britt fires more forearms!
Britt ROCKS Ford, Ford ROCKS Britt! Britt falls back, Ford is on her again, but Britt fires more body shots. Ford CLUBS Britt down, whips her to ropes, and LARIATS! Ford covers, TWO! Britt stays in this and Ford grows frustrated. Ford storms up on Britt in a corner, stands her up, and CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Ford brings Britt around to snapmare and chicken wing into the motorcycle stretch! Britt endures, so Ford JAMS her in the back with a knee! Ford pulls on the arms again but Britt still endures.

Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Renee is with the returning Fighting Gravure Idol and says it is so great to have her back. Is Mina here to see Mariah May? Mina says she is so excited to watch Mariah May VS Anna Jay Round 3 on Collision, so excited to see Mariah win again, and is now looking forward to their big champagne celebration~! But as Mina holds the glass out to Renee, Harley Cameron steps in, snatches the glass, and chugs it in one go! Harley tells Mina that some would say Mina is the Harley Cameron of Japan. Well then, welcome to the Harley Cameron of Harley Camerons. What…? Oh, never mind! But since Mina is back, she will feel the wrath of Harley Cameron!
Wait, seriously? Mina VS Harley? Yes! Face to face, tit for tat! Rack ’em up and may the breast- best woman win! Mina shimmies and says, “See you Saturday.” Harley shimmies back, and Renee says stop! Things are really shaping up for Collision, but who proves they can get crazier in the ring?
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Lio Rush!
The Realest has certainly heard everything everyone else has had to say about him, from The Hurt Syndicate to even a former friend in The Bad Child. But will Swerve have to show Lio and Lashley whose house this is? Or will it just be Swerve’s Final Hour?
The bell rings, Nana leads the fans in a chant of “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” while Swerve and Lio talk some trash. Swerve says Lio should’ve just listened to him, but Lio shoves Swerve. Things speed up as Lio dodges, redirects, but then Swerve returns the favor! The fans cheer, but then Lio takes off again. Both men stop on a dime, but Lio slides out of the ring. The fans are still behind “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” but Lio takes his time returning. Lio and Swerve go again, Swerve trips and covers, ONE! Swerve suplexes, Lio slips free to shove, but Swerve slips up and around to stop himself. Lio runs up, Swerve dodges, but Lio pulls the same flip.
Swerve runs up, Lio ducks ‘n’ dodges, goes to the apron, bobs ‘n’ weaves, then RAMS into Swerve! Lio then dodges the shoulder, but Swerve avoids the Spider-Man attack. Swerve runs up, Lio backflips, but Swerve handsprings up and over to stare him down! The fans are thunderous for these two, but then Lio CLAWS Swerve’s eyes! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Lio says Swerve doesn’t know him. Swerve blocks the desk bump to SMACK Lio off the apron! Nana cheers Swerve on and he puts Lio in the ring. Swerve climbs up a corner slowly, but Lio runs up to handspring ropes! Swerve takes a fall to corner, then apron, then floor!
Lio stands tall and smirks while a ring count starts. Nana checks Swerve while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Swerve blinks one of his eyes while clutching his groin, but Lio storms out to fire off! Lio stomps away, but Swerve gets away. Lio RAMS Swerve into railing!

Lio clamps onto Swerve and squeezes tight with a sleeper and body scissors. Swerve fights up with Lio as a backpack, and RAMS him into the corner! But Lio runs up to CHOP BLOCK Swerve’s leg! Lio clamps back on with the SLEEPER, but Swerve endures. Swerve fights up, but Lio fires crossface forearms!

Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
Whether or not this proves The Realest is the most dangerous, it shows he is resilient! Nana hands a mic to Swerve, and Swerve says everyone has the bright idea that now that Swerve is back, they should go after the baddest man, the former AEW World Champion. They wanna use Swerve’s name, equity and accolades to prove a point. Lio tried and failed. A couple weeks ago, Shelton Benjamin tried and failed! Seems like Swerve has to remind a lot of people whose house this is! That leads Swerve to Bobby Lashley. Like it says, Full Gear, but Swerve feels like he needs a fight with Lashley tonight! Lashley, take your ass out here right now! Swerve ain’t running, and there’s nowhere to hide!
Well here comes The Hurt Syndicate! MVP accompanies Lashley, mic in hand, but where is the Standard of Excellence? MVP tells Swerve, “If you want a fight with a member of The Syndicate, all you gotta do is ask me and I’ll set it up for ya.” Because see, The Syndicate likes Swerve a lot. And the reason they’re recruiting him is because he has so much unrealized potential. But one of the things they’ll teach Swerve… Well, maybe Lashley is ready to fight right now! The jacket is off and the sleeves are rolled up! Maybe we don’t have to wait two weeks. But there is still a lesson to learn: There is strength in numbers.
Swerve forgot that lesson, but he’ll remember. SHELTON ATTACKS FROM BEHIND! The fans boo but Shelton TOSSES Swerve out, for Lashley to CLOBBER! Lashley brings Swerve up, THRWOS him into railing, then hauls him up for knees! The fans boo as Lashley CLUBS Swerve, then THROWS him into more railing! Shelton stares Nana down while Lashley throws Swerve back into the ring. Shelton hits a DDT on Swerve! MVP CHOKES Nana with the walking stick! Nana sputters as Lashley hits a MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER on Swerve! Lashley makes Nana watch as the HURT LOCK is clamped on!
Swerve sputters, fades, and both Swerve and Nana are going out! Refs rush up but Shelton keeps them back. Lashley drops Swerve, and MVP lets Nana crawl to him. The Hurt Syndicate step out, security keeping a safe distance. But wait! Lashley grabs Nana now! Lashley POSTS Nana! Nana tumbles to steps then floor and the fans can’t believe it! Even Lio, watching from afar, is a bit stunned. But is this what it means to do business with the Hurt Syndicate?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.
Renee is with the former AEW Women’s World Champion, and Hayter says Renee looks “smashing.” Renee says right back at Hayter. But congrats on the win over Penelope Ford, so what is next? Hayter says that is a question on everyone’s lips. Because did we not think Hayter would win last week? Did Hayter not do what she said she would? And she’ll continue to do what she says she’ll do, because it is no secret that Hayter is back to right wrongs. She did some of the wrongs, but that’s for the future. For the right now, Hayter is thinking of coming after one thing. Wait, the lights go out? And a phone rings.
Julia Hart wakes up! She has a red spot on her shirt, over her heart. The phone is there, and rather old school. Julia picks up the phone, asks who it is, and it’s Brody King! He says it’s time to come home. What does he mean “come home?” She doesn’t even know where she is, there’s a blood stain on her shirt and… the phone isn’t even connected…! The lights flicker, Julia stands up but is very dizzy. She washes up, head pounding, and then the lights turn red. Julia looks down the hall and the light comes from behind a closet’s double doors. She opens the doors to see the source. The bow, the arrows, the hat…
The Princess of the Black Throne is coming home, and has she already made Hayter into the hunted?

Dax is already red, he’s already fading, he is OUT!! House of Black wins!!
Winners: The House of Black, by submission (advances to Full Gear)
A valiant effort from FTR, and Private Party pours one out for them. Brody & Malakai show respect by helping FTR to their feet, and they all shake hands. But now, that means only one spot remains. Will it be The Acclaimed or La Faccion Ingobernable that joins the Full Gear Fatal 4 Way?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, and it really flew by in the middle with how they used all the story overlaps as very clear segues. Ospreay and Kyle had a great promo, and of course it turned into a brawl with the Don Callis Family and growing new United Empire or whatever it is. Kyle and Mark hesitating to fight was another good touch, and then Roddy going out there to start his match with Archer was good stuff. Falls Count Anywhere let them at least make good use of the main crowd side, and some good overbooking with The Kingdom having to counteract Cage. Great win for Roddy, and then great segue right into Cole VS Takeshita.
While I only stumbled upon the possibility last Saturday, only ONE person winning the MJF Challenge was a good choice. Cole loses out to Takeshita but it was protected because of the diamond ring helping Takeshita cheat. And we did get a good detail of Kyle coming out to make the save, and even Ricochet getting his shot in on Takeshita. Ricochet VS Takeshita is of course still the title plan there, but this was a good tease that maybe Kyle goes back to the Undisputed Kingdom. Or at the very least, Conglomeration and Kingdom work together against the Heel factions of Callis Family and Death Riders in a massive, Avengers: Endgame level match.
Speaking of, very good promos from Moxley and Orange Cassidy tonight, but when they said Moxley was taking over the TBS SuperStation, I thought they were going to film some “on location” thing and it’d be aired here on the tron. Guess they were trying to harken back to WCW and nWo with just a catchphrase or subtitle and then not do anything like that. But that aside, good brawl with Darby and the purple Sting mask jumping in. I like the details here where Yuta really is bottom of the food chain. Claudio told Yuta to shut up, the Death Rider truck almost took off without him, Yuta really needs to realize Moxley doesn’t care. But at this rate, it feels like Yuta will just double down his loyalty and that’s what costs Cassidy at Full Gear.
Great opening tag match from Bang Bang Gang VS Hangman & Christian, especially with Hook dragging Nick Wayne away and brawling with him. It still didn’t tip things in favor of Bang Bang Gang given Kip and Mother Wayne were still ringside. That puts the pressure on White going towards Full Gear, but the go-home segment will really tell us how White VS Hangman plays out. Great backstage segment with Mone, Kamille and Kris. Mone should be careful how she treats Kamille, because even one handed, Kamille is bigger and stronger. Though, Kris proved she’s as strong as them both breaking that wall. Sadly, this is all leaning towards Mone retaining at Full Gear.
Good match from Britt and Ford but of course Britt won. Deeb showing up was interesting, but a match or two from Deeb and Britt could do some good to get Britt headed for a title. Hayter was of course going to say she wants a title shot, but from Julia Hart interrupting with her own vignette, Hayter VS Hart seems like the feud that helps set one of them up for the title shot. And good promo from Mina (did she do something to her eyebrows?) and Harley. Harley is shaking off losing to Thunder Rosa to now lose to Mina. But Mina will be there on Collision as Mariah May defends her title one more time against Anna Jay, and maybe now we’ll get on the road to Mariah VS Mina.
Good promo from Jericho and his Learning Tree, and I guess it’s fine that Thanksgiving Eve Dynamite is the ROH World Championship match. ROH Final Battle won’t be until December so they can’t stretch things out that long, and it feels like the title is staying with Jericho anyway, so a cheated finish on a TV match is fine. Great stuff with the Hurt Syndicate, such as MVP’s promo with Lashley, and we got an awesome match out of Swerve VS Lio. Swerve gets a great win, but then the Syndicate of course get Swerve in a trap and beat him down. As it stand, Swerve probably turns things around next week, only to lose at Full Gear.
And awesome tag team main event from FTR VS House of Black. I’m a little surprised FTR lost, but I guess it keeps #FTRunners from having drama when they only just became friends. Plus, this is something The House of Black has needed. It’s been a bit of time since they had the trios titles, and while I don’t think Private Party loses the tag titles, just being in this Fatal 4 is a step in the right direction for Malakai & Brody. And with Julia on her way back, maybe the House of Black will rise up and get some new belts now.
My Score: 8.9/10

Six Man Tag: The House of Black VS The Iron Savages!
Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews have each suffered recent singles losses, so they’re getting back to what worked. Will they bring about the end for Jacked Jameson, Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder? Or will we all be sippin’ sauce ‘n’ livin’ hoss after tonight?
Jameson has the mic to tell al the fat morons and skinny idiots to shut up! He introduces himself and the Savages and says that you can see, they have new gear and the best gear ahead of Full Gear. But with no match set, they’ll beat The House of Black to take their spot in the contender series and win those tag titles themselves! Because they are the Iron Savages! Sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the low T meat riders to #TiddyCity! The fans boo and The House isn’t even affected. The teams sort out, and Brody steps to Boulder. The fans fire up as the big men step up. Boulder taunts Brody, but Brody CHOPS the meat!
Boulder sputters, but Bronson leaves him hanging! Jameson, too? The Savages give Boulder sauce to sip, and Boulder is fired up! Boulder runs up, into a BOOT! Brody then runs to LARIAT!

Buddy fires a strike fest, stomp and V-TRIGGER! Tag to Malakai before the whip.
Buddy kitchen sink knees, Malakai PENALTY KICKS, and Buddy KNEE DROPS! Bronson runs up, leg sweep and Bronson falls on Jameson! That’s an awkward position… Brody SENTONS the Savages! The fans cheer while the Savages bail out. Buddy & Malakai hold the way open for Brody to DIVE! Down go all three Iron Savages! The fans fire up and Brody puts Boulder back in. Boulder staggers up, into THE END!! Bronson staggers in, Buddy SOBATS! And then JACKHAMMER! Jameson is last, he gets the DOUBLE POP-UP KNEES! Jameson ends up in a corner, The House sets up, and feed Jameson to CERBERUS!! Cover, The House of Black wins!
Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall
A dominant win from former AEW World Trios Champions, but which two will step forward to face FTR in the Full Gear Contenders Series? Will it be the end for the #TopGuys? But speaking of, here they come! The fans fire up as Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are here in Providence! They have mics, and Malakai asks what they can do for FTR. Cash says he sees Buddy puffed up, just calm down. They’ve had ladder matches, cage matches, and taken years off their careers. This is just business. Dax Harwood says over the last four and a half years, Dax has made it his life’s mission to be AEW World Tag Team Champion.
Those belts have been put above their bodies, above their health, above their family, and even above God. But nothing changes except for the obstacles. Right now, The House is their obstacle. On the backs of FTR, on the backs of The House of Black, they built Collision. The fans cheer that. But for the first time ever on a Dynamite, House of Black VS the absolute best team on the planet, FTR! The one question is: Who’s it gonna be? Malakai & Brody step up! The fans cheer and Malakai tells FTR, “Good luck.” The Top Guys push past the Kings of the Black Throne, but will Dax & Cash be able to push through to Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“You don’t think that I see what’s going on around here? You don’t think that i feel it? There’s a shift happening. And we’re all a part of it. You see, there’s a reoccurring theme with me being All Elite again, and it’s that my past is creeping up on me, forcing to make a decision. Which is why I’ve held on to this.” The card from MVP! This is a golden ticket. What this is is a decision that he must make with people who like conducting business in a way he used to agree with. MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and his guy, Bobby Lashley. If you’ve been paying attention, you saw Lio beat Ariya Daivari last week and Lio beat Komander on Rampage.
Lio is here tonight, ready to be on fire. He feels great, but wants to feel greater. He wants to feel alive again! Which is why on Dynamite, Lio is calling out Swerve! Knock knock, open up> The Man of the Hour is back around. Lio smiles, but will he regret visiting Swerve’s House?
Private Party is here!
Providence fires up as Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way to ringside, holding up their AEW World Tag Team Championships! They sit in their VIP section on stage as they watch what’s next.
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Top Flight VS The Outrunners!
Darius & Dante Martin have been building momentum back up, and they could be hitting Mach Speed in time for Full Gear. That is, if they take The Youngest Men Alive seriously.

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Presuming Roderick Strong even wins tonight against The Beast Mortos, his third match in the “MJF Chase” has been decided! It will be against The Don Callis Family’s Lance Archer, in a FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE match! Will the Savior of the Backbreaker make it through these trials of body and mind to make it to Full Gear? On top of that, a report comes in that Jon Moxley and the Death Riders are going to SEIZE the TBS SuperStation?! Just what gives this rogue AEW World Champion the authority to do that? Plus, we hear from Bobby Lashley ahead of his match with Swerve Strickland at Full Gear, and we hear from Will Ospreay after his shocking return last Wednesday night.
The Acclaimed speak.
Max Caster starts off with a “Yo, listen.” Anthony Bowens says they have requested this time because they wanna speak directly to LFI. Next week, Albany, Collision, the Contender Series, Caster & Bowens take their next step back to where they belong and that is the AEW World Tag Team Championships! So FYI, LFI, they’ll whip your ass! That’s right! Time to go eye to eye with the Best Wrestler Alive! So here’s a word of advice from the Handsome Heavyweight, the Bilingual Badass, Platinum Max! “Donde esta ustedes cajones? Where are your balls?” Because they’re dealing with- The Hurt Syndicate steps in!
Montel Vontavious Porter shakes his head and can’t believe Caster’s going on about balls and scissoring. What is wrong with him? How long has it been since they’ve held championships? Don’t they wanna be taken serious? Look at Caster’s father, an all pro NFL Super Bowl champion! Caster saw that big shiny ring growing up, so doesn’t he want the big shiny belt? Bowens says ENOUGH! MVP has Lashley & Shelton stand down. Bowens tells them that just because Billy Gunn isn’t here, doesn’t mean they can say whatever they want to The Acclaimed. And secondly, they aren’t interested. Bowens goes but MVP says he knows Caster still has the card.
Caster leaves, and MVP tells Shelton that they can’t just kill everybody. Shelton asks why not. Lashley says at least hit them in the mouth. But will The Hurt Syndicate soon be adding some platinum to the mix?
Roderick Strong VS The Beast Mortos!
Adam Cole is 2-0 in his MJF Chase, and this will be round two for the Savior of the Backbreaker. But it’s against “his boy,” who he still wants to join The Undisputed Kingdom. But will the menacing minotaur prove Jake The Snake is right? Is Mortos LFI 4 Life? Or can Roddy break through to him with a win?
The bell rings and Roddy tells Mortos he just wants to talk. Why are they in this position? “BEEAST!” Mortos growls at Roddy, but he tries to tune Roddy out.

Mortos whips corner to corner, runs in, but into a BOOT! Roddy fires forearm sand CHOPS! Then another knee! Roddy fires haymakers, then whips, but Mortos blocks! Mortos whips Roddy to POP-UP SAMOAN DROP!
Roddy sputters to a corner while the fans fire up with Mortos! Mortos seems less conflicted now, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Mariah May speaks.
“I hate women’s wrestling. I really do. It never used to be this way. I was all for ‘hot girl graps’ and ‘women supporting women.’ ‘We’re all in this together, let’s make history!’ And then I won this title. And I realized I am surrounded by the weakest, saddest, most pathetic little s*its I have ever seen. They’re either dead, injured, beaten, sick, or can’t even look me in the eyes. Because they know the truth. I am not in this women’s division. These women are in my division. And if I was them, I would thank me for standing on their necks. My prime is being wasted because no one can touch me. It’s so lonely being the only.
“Years from now, people will wonder, ‘Who killed women’s wrestling?’ Yes, it was me. I did it.” The Glamour is arrogant as always, but is she going to regret growing her ego so big and so fast?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with the Queenslayer and brings up what Mariah just said because clearly, Anna is not happy. Anna tells Mariah that while she thinks “no one can touch you,” Anna did more than that. She slapped Mariah, kicked Mariah, and even beaten Mariah! And next time, she will choke Mariah out until she pisses herself! Anna is the only woman who has pinned Mariah since Mariah won at All In. So now, Anna is going all in. Mariah VS Anna, Round 3, NO DISQUALIFICATIONS! And if Anna loses this time, she will never challenge Mariah for the title again. Every woman here wants the title and Mariah’s head. On Dynamite, Anna drops Mariah to bring home both. #JustTryMe.
Mariah’s insults have incensed Anna, will Anna finally become The Star of the Show?
Kris Statlander VS Ashley Vox!
Mercedes Mone & Kamille tried to take her out with their car, so it was a miracle the #BornAgainKristen survived! Will this be a #StaturdayNightCollision Mone & Kamille need to watch closely?

La Faccion Ingobernable is backstage.
Jake The Snake follows Rush y Dralistico but they tell cameramen to move aside. Rush asks Mortos what’s wrong with him. How could he lose to Roddy? Did he forget what LFI is about?! They’re to show no mercy on anyone! Roddy is not your friend! He is not your familia! LFI is all that! So forget the Kingdom! They have a grand opportunity next week! Show him who you are! Mortos is riled up again, and Jake says some people, you just don’t piss off. LFI are those people. And Acclaimed, you’re just a bunch of squirrels playing around, trying to find a nut. No nuts here, you’ll get more than you can handle.
And remember one thing and one thing only: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! Will Mortos & Dralistico destroy the hopes of Caster & Bowens without a second thought? Or will they get hit with that Mic Drop?
AEW TNT Championship: Jack Perry VS Action Andretti!
With The Young Bucks abandoning The Elite, The Scapegoat has put it on himself to push his twisted idea of progress forward. He has Daniel Garcia breathing down his throat, yet he goes to Lowell, Massachusetts just to call out Yota Tsuji. And now, he put this open challenge out, only for it to be answered in an instant. Will Jack Perry be able to keep up with everything he’s taking on? Or will this match be a Sight to See?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is ready to make a sacrifice!
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, and Jack powers Action back to a corner. The ref counts, Jack lets off slowly, then pokes action. Action says okay, whatever.

The Scapegoat makes Action his newest sacrifice, and he grabs a mic, only for Daniel Garcia to appear! The fans cheer as Red Death storms his way down to the ring. Jack sighs as he turns around, and he lets Garcia have the mic already. Garcia says unfortunately, this isn’t about talking to the fans, but about talking to Jack. Garcia wants Jack to understand, they disagree on a lot of things, but the one they disagree on the most is that Jack thinks they’re alike. And Jack thinks he’s special because he came back from a “vacation,” hair all in his face, driving in a beat up school bus, when really, he’s a multimillionaire “Nepo Baby” who was handed everything his entire life.
And Jack does not care about anyone else, he doesn’t fight for anyone else, and that is a major difference between them. Garcia fights for the people he cares about. Garcia fires for Daddy Magic, he fights for Private Party, he fights for everyone in the back. You think that makes Garcia weak? No, that makes him strong! THE PEOPLE make Garcia strong! And Jack, Garcia will never, ever be anything like you. But you know what Garcia will be? November 23rd, Full Gear, Garcia becomes T N T CHAMPION! Perry smirks, and asks for the mic back. Garcia hands it over, and Jack says Garcia can have his match. But he’s still not ready.
Jack drops the mic, pushes past Garcia, and clearly thinks it’s a given he will still be golden. But will The Scapegoat learn why this is the man known as Red Death?
Julia Hart is… back to being a cheerleader?
She has the skirt, the pompoms and the letterman’s jacket. But then the shadowy shroud watches from the stands. “The House of Black… Always Wins…!” Cheerleader Julia turns her cheer into one for The House of Black. They always win. They will fight to the death and make you scream. And scream she does. The shroud stands, armed with a bow ‘n’ arrow. And she says, “You’ll never be good enough.” She then SHOOTS Hart through the heart! But then she wakes up! Is the Princess of the Dark Throne on her way back?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia.
Lexy finds Garcia talking with Matthew Menard and announces that it’s now official, Garcia will have his TNT Championship match. Menard apologizes to Lexy for interrupting, but he was just talking with Garcia. Lexy can stick around if she wants, because surely the world wants to hear this. Menard says Perry thinks Garcia’s not ready, but all Garcia has to do is turn it up to the max. Menard knows Danny is ready, Mama Garcia knows Danny is ready, the WHOLE WORLD knows Danny is ready! All Danny has to do is prove them right. Prove them right and take the title from that prick! Garcia says he will. Let’s get it!
Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy VS AR Fox!
The Prodigy has a camera at gorilla as he says he heard through the grapevine that today is a very special day. Today is the anniversary of AR Fox’s father passing away. Good thing that he’s dead, because Papa Fox would disown Fox after what Nick’s about to do to him. A Prodigy never forgets. Will this grudge for what Fox & Swerve did to him lead Nick to a brutal victory? Or will- FOX DIVES ONTO NICK! Nick crossed a line so Fox throws him around ringside!

The distraction was just enough to save Nick! Nick hurries to haul Fox up, underhook, but Fox trips Nick! Jackknife bridge, TWO! Nick hurries to a corner! Fox runs in, but is sent into buckles! Nick then SNAP DRAGONS again! And then the underhooks, ROLLING TIGER DRIVER!! Cover, Nick wins!
Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall
Mother is proud of her boy, though she and “Superbad Stepbrother” Kip did help hand that win to Nick. But Nick isn’t done, he wants to make Fox pay for his past! Kip brings Fox up, and Mother Wayne gives Nick a picture of Fox’s father! And then a staple gun!! They give Fox the Swerve treatment of STAPLING the picture to Fox’s face!! The fans boo but Nick grins at what he has done. The Patriarchy stands over Fox, will they do even worse to make Nick a champion?
Backstage interview with MXM Collection.
Lexy is now with Mansoor & Mason Madden, and brings up this new sort of “collaboration” with Johnny TV. It seems there is an update? Yes, that’s right, “Lexington.” Mansoor says “Johnathon Television” requested they slide into his DMs and that is exactly what they did. Mansoor’s message requested Johnny join them in a Trios match for next week’s Collision. His reply? We’re waiting for it. Oh, okay, he’s read it. The three dots are here! And Johnny says… He already has a match with Daniel Garcia. Darn it. But wait, there’s more! They can come with him ringside! That’s great! What about the pic Mason sent him?
Johnny says… “Nice hog.” Wait, what? Oh, it’s a piggy. Okay, Mason, let’s go, Johnny TV style! They pose, and slide?! Wait, someone is pushing them on a dolly cart? Sebastian, you fool, you’re going the wrong way! Now you’re in the shot, you bald idiot! Sebastian goes in reverse and MXM is furious. But will “MXM TV” become a thing?
AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS The Conglomeration!
Pac, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta thought they could crush Orange Cassidy before Full Gear and get away with it, but they’re dead wrong! Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Tomohiro Ishii are fighting to avenge Freshly Squeezed, but will they also take these titles?

The Death Riders may have gold between the world title and the world trios titles, but will that change once Cassidy kicks it into Full Gear?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, really packed full of action and story. While I criticized using Roddy VS Mortos as a replacement for Roddy VS Cole drama in this build, I do appreciate Mortos playing up how emotionally conflicted he was during his match. It is a little silly to think Mortos actually liked The Undisputed Kingdom, but he and Roddy had a great match, and that was a great win for Roddy. But with Roddy VS Archer announced during the match, I suppose it made sense for Archer to attack Roddy. Next week’s Dynamite should’ve still been Cole VS Roddy, winner gets MJF, but I suppose there can still be drama over only one of them winning, and the other has to force himself to be happy for his friend. What would be wild is if RODDY wins and Cole is the one swallowing his pride.
Kris of course wins a squash match to build momentum, but then I should’ve figured Mone would attack her. Just saw her do that to Hazuki at the NJPW Strong show, so it’s just the CEO’s MO to go after her challengers in an attempt to weaken them before the title match. I wouldn’t mind if Hazuki returned the favor to integrate stories between AEW and NJPW. Honestly, same goes for Yota Tsuji showing up on an AEW show after Jack Perry went after him. Jack of course beat Action in the title match, but good promos from him and Garcia to hype up their title match. With no Bucks around, maybe the rest of The Elite starts losing gold, and Jack is first.
Great match from Nick and Fox to revisit their feud from the past, and Nick sure is learning from “Father” Christian by bringing up Fox’s dead dad. The Patriarchy of course had to cheat to win, but at least Nick’s rolling tiger driver won instead of being buried like it was against Ricochet. Nick indirectly calls out Swerve, too, with the staple gun stuff. Maybe after the Hurt Syndicate stuff, Swerve revisits this feud to settle things with Nick. Speaking of, good promos from Lio Rush and Acclaimed in connection to the Hurt Syndicate. As Top Flight flounders, maybe Lio jumps ship to be Hurt Syndicate going into the Continental Classic season.
Acclaimed are also just a moment away from falling apart, and their match with LFI next week will be a big part of that. Maybe Acclaimed win, maybe they don’t, really depends on how the tag title Fatal 4 Way’s Heel-Face ratio is looking after this next week. The House of Black of course squashed The Iron Savages, and I even like the Julia Hart return teaser. Good promo from House of Black and FTR to establish it’s Brody & Malakai. With Outrunners beating Top Flight to qualify for the title match, it would be interesting if the #FTRunners were forced to fight each other during that match.
Very good promos from Mariah and Anna to establish a last chance title match. Pretty sure Anna loses, though, as I still think they’re waiting on a Mariah VS Mina feud before Mariah loses the belt. Hilarious promo from MXM Collection to plug a team-up with Johnny TV next week, even if it they’re just in his corner. I feel like we could also get a very good Six Man Tag of #MXMTV VS Garcia & Private Party to warm up Garcia & Private Party before Full Gear. And great title match main event, but of course Moxley made sure his guys won by any means necessary. Good brawl to close the night, but all the more reason Yuta’s gonna get involved and cost Cassidy.
My Score: 8.8/10
