AEW TNT Championship: Darby Allin VS Juice Robinson!
The Relentless One continues to be a fighting champion, and he accepted the challenge of the Bullet Club’s Rock Hart Booster! But will Darby get caught California Dreamin’? Or will this be as close as Juice gets to being a star in Hollywood?

The TNT Champion is still relentless! And here comes STIIIING! The Icon is here to celebrate with his young tag partner. They head to Yokohama, Japan next week to be part of WrestleKingdom 17’s second night, NJPW VS NOAH! They team with THE Great Muta in his farewell match, will they send him off in style?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs speaks.
“The Good Book says, ‘The phoenix once rose from the ashes.’ Well, I took that phoenix and I broke it’s neck! I took those ashes, just like all my hopes and dreams were taken away from me, and now I’m gonna spread those ashes all over everyone I hurt in AEW.” So it is written in the Book of Hobbs, so it shall be! But who will be the first to fall on the Powerhouse’s path of destruction?
Rampage returns with Renee Paquette on stage.
She says it’s been a great night in LA so far, but now it is time for another incredible moment as we cement a new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Standing at day 114, please welcome the Forever Champs, the People’s Choice, the People’s Voice, and everyone’s favorite AEW World Tag Team Champions, The Acclaimed! LA fires up as Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn walk out! Caster says, “Yo! Listen! Acclaimed got hot ’til they had to do somethin’. Survived more scandals than Gavin Newsome! So you know there’s no stoppin’ ’em. They used to hide us like Joe Biden hides documents!
“And I don’t front, yo, it was bumpy. But we never once had to sell out for blood money! And now we on the Walk of Fame! Because in Hollywood, everyone loves The Acclaimed!” Bowens takes the mic to say, “LOOOOOS ANGELEEEEES~! The Acclaimed have arrived! SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS~!” And they do~! The music stops and fans sing “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy~!” Bowens says they have listened to the fans sing week after week after week, and they love it! And it all leads to tonight here in the Mecca of Entertainment, where Bowens currently resides, the City of Angels, BEAUTIFUL Los Angeles!
And The Acclaimed are in the Mecca of Pro-Wrestling, and that is A! E! W!! LA, Bowens wants to ask a favor as this is an amazing, amazing night. He wants everyone from the front row to the back to the vendors and the doctors to Chris Jericho and Jim Ross and Excalibur! Everyone here in the Kia Forum, throw your fingers up, your scissors and signs, high to the sky! Tonight, the Acclaimed cement their legacy so that all generations will know that EVERYONE! LOVES! THE ACCLAIMED!! The Acclaimed then return to the top of the stage and the cement, to… be interrupted by the Gunn Sons?!
Colten Gunn says “Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! I mean, my god! You guys had National Scissor Day: trash. You had Daddy Ass’s birthday celebration: garbage. And now you’ve got whatever this is. And on top of that, it’s in this bum ass city!” Fans boo but Austin says, “Aww, did we hurt your feelings? Yeah, yeah. Newsflash: you guys are NOT stars! WE are the stars!” And the only reason The Acclaimed is popular is because they stole Billy away from the Gunns! Billy mocks his own sons, “Boo-hoo-hoo!” But Austin says that if anyone deserves part of the Walk of Fame, it’s the Gunn Sons! Fans call them “ASS~ BOYS~!” instead.
Billy tells The Acclaimed that maybe, they’re right. Yes, sometimes a dad’s gotta do what a dad’s gotta do, wink wink. So he says Austin & Colten can go right ahead. Austin says that’s right! The Gunns raise their hands over the cement, but then the Acclaimed PANTS THEM!! They’re in briefs! And Austin’s might be riding up… They turn around in shock and embarrassment, and then Billy shoves them into the cement! Now they’re feeling em-bare-assed in the cement! Austin & Colten scramble out of the cement, and The Acclaimed will just have to try again another time. Will the Gunns have a hard time getting over this one?
Backstage interview with Mogul Affiliates.
Renee is with Swerve Strickland, Parker Boudreaux, the still anonymous tattooed man, and a few other guests of Swerve’s as she asks just what the objective of this group even is. Swerve stops her there to say he got tired of beating people’s asses the last couple of weeks. So when he came out to LA, he decided to do some Mogul Affiliate things. He’s got a top notch business acumen, so he of course goes to Bad Boy’s Quincy and King Combs, the son of Sean Combs. Swerve lets them tell everyone what’s up.
King says you know they can’t stop, won’t stop. This is a real Bad Boy affair. He’s got his boys here with him, and look, King has love for AEW. If they want the smoke, “y’all know who to holla at.” But not only that. Like Swerve said, in 2023, Mogul Affiliates will be the most violent, gruesome faction you’ve ever seen. So then the havoc they’ve wreaked so far is only the beginning. What more will Swerve and his affiliates do in order to take over AEW?
Eddie Kingston & Ortiz VS The Kings of the Black Throne!
The Mad King and one of his closest friends have been itching for this fight ever since that violent return by Malakai Black and his cohorts. But a seed of dissention was planted, and it seems to be growing. Can Kingston & Ortiz survive this battle? Or will they be torn down by the Dark Father and the Big Bad Monster?
The teams sort out, except Eddie and Ortiz argue about it. Fans cheer for Eddie, but Ortiz fires off on Brody first! Brody shoves him away, Ortiz comes right back, and Brody throws him to a corner.

Eddie spins, but Malakai ducks the Uraken! Malakai spins, but Eddie ducks the Black Mass! Eddie sits cross-legged to mock Malakai! Malakai sits down cross-legged so he can stare Eddie down, and fans fire up! The two talk some trash while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Eddie stands up but Brody runs in to BOOT him back down! Ortiz rushes in but Malakai BOOTS him down! Brody goes out to send Eddie into railing, and CHOP! And CHOP! Malakai is after Ortiz at the ramp, and he throws knees and KICKS against the railing! Brody brings Eddie around, and he whips him into railing, only for Eddie to come back with a LARIAT! Eddie gets in the ring, as does Malakai, and they tie up. Malakai headlocks, throws elbows to fight Eddie’s lift, then runs. Ortiz is there so Malakai DECKS him! Malakai then goes back to Eddie, but Eddie hits an STO! Cover, TWO! Malakai goes to a corner, Eddie runs in, but blocks a boot!
But then Malakai shifts to KNEE Eddie away! And then Malakai sweeps the legs! Brody runs in, he drops a SENTON! Malakai goes to the apron to ASAI MOONSAULT Ortiz down!

The ref reprimands but Malakai BOOTS Eddie down! Malakai rains down fists, then drops a knee right on Eddie’s face! Ortiz wants after Malakai but the ref holds him back. Malakai stares at Ortiz, but he drags Eddie back to tag in Brody.
The Kings of the Black Throne double whip Eddie to ropes, then DOUBLE ELBOW him down! Brody drags Eddie up, CHOPS him, and Eddie ends up in the corner. Eddie fires off hands and CHOPS on Malakai and Brody, until Brody CHOPS him down! Eddie is trapped in enemy territory as Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns as Brody storms around, and fans bark along with him. Brody runs corner to corner for a CANNONBALL! Brody drags Eddie to a cover, but Ortiz breaks it! Ortiz DECKS Malakai, drags Eddie over, but Eddie tells him to back off? Ortiz has no choice, the ref has him go back to his corner, but Ortiz holds out his hand. Ortiz shouts for Eddie to tag him in but Brody snarls as he wants Eddie to stand up. Eddie rises, Brody runs in, for a LARIAT! But Eddie’s right back up! Brody runs in, into an ENZIGURI! Brody wobbles, into a HALF ‘N’ HALF! Fans fire up and both men are down!
Brody and Eddie stir as a standing count climbs. Eddie growls and stands up. Eddie heads over to the corner, but he is still hesitant. But Brody tags Malakai in! Malakai runs in, but Eddie feeds him to a haymaker from Ortiz! And then Eddie reels Malakai in. Malakai fights free, only for Ortiz to hit a step-in DDT! Malakai stagger sup, into a clinch! EXPLODER!

He slides in, but Eddie stands right on the chair! Buddy looks up at Eddie, and Eddie dares him to do something. But then Julia Hart sneaks in. She grabs at Eddie, he turns around with the chair, but she shrieks! Ortiz snatches the chair from Eddie and gets upset with Eddie!!
Eddie tries to get Ortiz to understand what was going on but Ortiz just sees Eddie ready to hit a woman with a chair! Eddie wants Ortiz to just let off, but Malakai storms up. Malakai turns Ortiz around, but he ducks, so the BLACK MASS hits Eddie!! Ortiz knees Malakai but Malakai shoves him away! Cover on Eddie, KINGS OF BLACK THRONE WIN!
Winners: The Kings of the Black Throne, by pinfall
And then Buddy SMOTHERS Ortiz with a sleeper!! Eddie & Ortiz got played like fiddles, but Malakai wants Ortiz to know he did good. Ortiz is furious, but then Buddy throws Ortiz back into the ring. Ortiz grabs the chair, he’s no one’s puppet! But is he at least a pawn in this chess game the House is playing?
Backstage interview with Jade Cargill.
Lexi Nair is with the UNDEFEATED AEW TBS Champion and her last Baddie standing, Leila Grey. Lexi says we saw at Battle of the Belts that there is clearly tension between Jade and Red Velvet. What exactly is going on? Jade pretends not to know who Velvet is and what Lexi is talking about. “You mean somebody that I made? Red Velvet is just jealous that somebody like Leila is bigger, brighter, and better than she could ever be.” Jade tells Lexi that what she should be asking is how she feels about her upcoming 50th win. And Leila says, “Yes, girl! And we’re going to achieve that without Red Velvet.” Jade says Velvet is done, finito, finished. Leila tells Velvet, “You’re out, I’m in.”
Jade says that they’ve got better things to do. They leave, but will #ThatBitch reach 50 wins still undefeated?
Renee is in the ring with Paul Walter Hauser.
Fans cheer for the Golden Globe winning actor, who is showing off said award in the ring. Renee says he won his Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Blackbird, which was incredible. And during this career defining moment, in his acceptance speech, he shined a light on pro-wrestling with “GET THE TABLES!” What have the last few days been like for him? Paul takes the mic to say that he just loves pro-wrestling. It is an honor to be here tonight with the fans, seriously. He is a lifelong fan of acting, he pours his heart and soul into it, just as Renee’s husband, Jon Moxley, does with this sport.
And Paul has to say, as much as he loves film and TV, he loves nothing more than pro-wrestling. Fans like the sound of that! Paul says if given the chance, he always skips past Hartford, Connecticut to go straight to Jacksonville, Florida! Because in AEW, you never know what’s gonna happen. And speaking of, here comes DANHAUSEN! He said he heard a lot of talk about awards just now, and Danhausen won an award. He as the number one merchandise seller in AEW! YES! That’s right, and that’s all thanks to his #fanhausens. But there seems to be a problem. It appears that Danhausen, aka him, was NOT given a physical award. Fans boo, that’s not fair.
Danhausen feels he therefore deserves Paul’s Golden Globe! What? Fans like that, but Paul isn’t so sure. But y’know what? Paul asks the fans: should the new name of this award be the Golden Globehausen? YES! But wait, here comes Team Triple J! Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh all head to the ring, and Sonjay has a mic. Paul wants a timeout! He knows this is their show, but this isn’t Memphis! This is Paul’s turf of Los Angeles, California! Fans cheer for Paul stepping up!
Paul continues with, “So before you say ‘Slap ass this,’ and ‘I’m a Hall of Famer,’ and ‘I invented the Figure Four,’ lemme just say this. You look like a woman who would own a Crunch Fitness. You’ve never even played a guitar that you literally bring everywhere. And if I gotta be honest, your guys here, they look like they’re dressed for a homeschool prom.” Sonjay gets in Paul’s face, but Paul DECKS him! But then Satnam grabs Danhausen! And Lethal DECKS Paul! Satnam keeps Danhausen trapped while Lethal & Sonjay stand Paul up! Jarrett has his guitar! Paul Walter Hauser takes a SMASH HIT!!!
Fans are losing their minds, many boo and flip Triple J off, but then Satnam brings Danhausen around. Lethal has the Globehausen! But here come BEST FRIENDS!! Orange Cassidy takes his time, but Trent Beretta & Chuck Taylor rush the ring! Triple J bails out, but the damage has been done! They beat down Paul and stole his Golden Globe, will they earn the award for Worst People in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS on that!
Lethal did earn something: an All-Atlantic Championship match with Orange Cassidy this Wednesday on Dynamite! Lethal and his cronies stole a Golden Globe, will they find a way to steal Cassidy’s title?
Mark Henry speaks.
“Well, it looks like these women are about to get violent. IT’S TIME! For the maaain~ event!” Guess that means we’re way past talking! This has escalated for so long, this is the only way it can end! Will having become sports entertainers not stop the Brazilian Goddess and the Star of the Show from going to the extreme? Or will the Runaway and the Unstoppable Optimism positively pulverize them?
Street Fight: TayJay VS Ruby Soho & Willow Nightingale!
TayJay is too busy doing their secret handshake and flipping off fans to notice Ruby & Willow running up behind them! Willow CRACKS Jay with a hockey stick! And Ruby CLUBS Tay from behind! The bell rings to get this on record as Ruby & Willow bring TayJay around and fire off forearms! Willow BOOTS Jay down and Soho BOOTS Tay! Fans fire up with the camo-clad duo. And to go further into Dudleyville, Soho shoves Willow and shouts, “GET THE TABLES~!” Fans fire up with Willow, and she goes looking. She brings a table out from under the stage, Ruby brings Tay around, but Jay CLUBS Ruby down the ramp!
Jay shoves Ruby further along but Willow goes after Tay. Willow RAMS Tay into railing, Jay RAMS Ruby into the apron! Tay elbows Willow away, Jay holds onto Ruby’s wrist for the HOOK KICK! And then Jay whips Ruby into the POST! The refs want this to get in the ring, Willow puts Tay in to oblige. But Jay SMACKS Ruby off the timekeeper’s table! And the bell! And then again! Willow drags Tay to a corner, and climbs up from the outside! Willow brings Tay up but Jay RAMS Ruby into steel steps! Tay fights Willow, and she HOTSHOTS her off the top rope! Fans rally, but Jay puts a trash can around Ruby! Jay then pushes Ruby over for Tay to DOUBLE STOMP!
Ruby crawls out of the trash can, and she’s badly busted open! Jericho is so proud of TayJay while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Ruby crawls around, Willow and the refs check on her, but Tay sends chair after chair into the ring. Tay tells fans to kiss this, then she goes to fetch Willow. Tay puts her in the ring and Anna sets up chairs. Tay stomps Willow, CLUBS her, then helps Anna with the chairs. They have a chair square, and Tay brings Willow up, only for Willow to fight back! Tay ROCKS Willow! Willow staggers but she hits Tay back. Jay brings Ruby into the ring, makes her take a seat, and then Jay CLUBS her. Tay headlock punches Willow, makes her sit next to Ruby, and then TayJay sit across from them. TayJay wanna go deathmatch slap fight with Ruby & Willow!
TayJay ROCK Ruby & Willow first! So Ruby & Willow ROCK them back! TayJay ROCK Ruby & Willow, but Ruby & Willow ROCK them back again! They go back and forth, Willow kicks and Ruby CHOPS!

Tay drags Willow up, puts her in, and Jay drags her over to the can. TayJay spins Willow around, but Willow fights off the Gory Especial! Tay ROCKS Willow, Jay hooks her up, but Willow still fights! Rampage returns to single picture as Tay ROCKS Willow again!
Jay lifts Willow in the Gory Especial, Tay helps out, ASSISTED GORY BOMB onto the crushed trash can!! Jay covers, TWO!!! Willow survives and LA fires up! Ruby is still bleeding all over as Tay stomps her down. Tay looks under the ring, and she brings out barbed wire! She hands that off to Jay and we know what she’s done with that before! She slips her arm inside it, stalks up to Willow, BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER!!! Willow endures, RAMS Jay into the corner, and Ruby climbs up! Ruby has her fist wrapped up in a steel chain! She rains down STEEL CHAIN PUNCHES on Jay’s head!!
Fans are thunderous as Jay lets Willow go, but then Tay SMACKS Ruby on the back with a trash can lid! Ruby is stuck up top, and fans chant for “E C DUB!” as Tay drags chairs over.

Fans can’t believe how wild these two went! Now they all know what it is to live and die in LA! Ruby gives Tay a bloody kiss goodnight, and then finally fist-bumps Willow! Is this just the beginning of a beautiful and brutal friendship for Ruby & Willow?
My Thoughts:
This was a wild episode for Rampage, and a lot of this is an example of what Rampages should be like, in terms of moving stories along in meaningful ways. We did get a bit of an empty, “Wait and see what we do next” promo from Mogul Affiliates, but that might be because AEW doesn’t know what is next. First, it’d be giving the tattooed guy his AEW name. Second, why not move them up into Trios title contention? Swerve beat AR Fox, the Bucks are facing Top Flight next, Top Flight & Fox are a trio, so there’s some kinda math in there that says Mogul Affiliates should rank above Top Flight & Fox. Granted, Parker Boudreaux is still rough around the edges and as he has no name, tattooed man hasn’t done anything in AEW so they might need to get going on Elevation and Dark to get some wins.
Very good promo from Hobbs, and after seeing that great opener from Darby VS Juice, doesn’t it just make sense for Hobbs to go after Darby and the TNT title? While he mentioned a phoenix, Hobbs isn’t going after Rey Fenix, he could use that to mean Darby, who seems like he can’t die. Hobbs has been doing great stuff for a good stretch, he deserves to be the guy to dethrone Darby, likely at Revolution. He can rack up wins on Elevation and Dark, biding his time as the weeks go by, and then he steps up to Darby just in time to make that match official. As for Darby, great to hear that he and Sting are going to Japan for WK17 Yokohama, that’ll be a great match and moment as Keiji Mutoh, AKA The Great Muta, officially retires.
Obviously someone interrupts The Acclaimed getting their Walk of Fame stars since that was all kayfabe anyway. I just feel like the Gunns shouldn’t be the ones. It does bring things full circle from their previous feud in a way, and the only thing everyone loves more than The Acclaimed is laughing at the Ass Boys. With FTR taking a leave of absence to legitimately rest and regroup, this is kind of like getting the next chapter of the Gunns’ run without the build, hence why they will lose the tag title match. And good promo from Jade and Leila to talk smack on Velvet and make it pretty clear to me that Velvet will be Jade’s opponent for that 50th match.
We got great action and incredible storytelling in the Kings of the Black Throne tag match. Eddie and Ortiz were dysfunctional the whole time but in a way that worked, and the House of Black basically suckered them both into their ploy. Now the distrust will grow, and there’s a chance someone turns, but there could also be a heroic moment of Eddie and Ortiz overcoming the mind games and winning out in the end. We got a really good promo segment out of Paul Walter Hauser, Best Friends and Triple J. Kudos on PWH taking that guitar smash, he’s definitely a hardcore pro-wrestling fan if he’s willing to do that. And while we’re getting Cassidy VS Lethal for the All-Atlantic title, I would love if we got an 8 Man Tag so that we can get Sonjay, Satnam and Danhausen legitimately involved.
And I love that they didn’t worry about a main event promo, they just gave us the Street Fight. All of that was badass stuff from start to finish, but wow did Ruby get bloody. Great references, from the purple ‘n’ white camo Ruby & Willow had to shout out the Dudley Boyz to TayJay bringing back the barbed wire arm wrap. For a moment I thought TayJay would win, but that’s a great moment for Ruby and Willow to win and bond over this war. This has to be the blow-off, there’s nothing they can do to escalate from here. I’m just not sure what either team can do next when there are no AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships to fight for.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!
Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles. Not only that, but it is against the three men that won that $300,000 Rampage Holiday Bash battle royal back in 2022. Will the Death Riders continue their reign of terror? Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!

They mug Fox, Claudio ROCKS Fox, and then drags Fox up. Fox tries to power forward but Claudio keeps him back!
Claudio powers Fox back, he tags Yuta in, and they mug Fox more. Yuta stands Fox up to reel him in, and he snap suplexes! Cover, ONE!! Fox stays in this but Yuta stays on him.

Yuta is annoyed but he keeps Darius down with a wristlock, and mockingly claps hands, while Collision goes picture in picture.

The fans boo, more refs rush out here, but The Cru has already choked out Darius & Dante! Will this be the end of this animosity? Or have Lio & Action only put themselves back on Top Flight’s radar?
BREAKING NEWS for April!
Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-
NO, Mortos stops the ride to chicken wing Hologram! But Hologram victory rolls through, TWO! Mortos has it, TWO! Both men stand, Hologram rolls Mortos but Mortos powers through to a cover, ONE! They both stand, Mortos HEADBUTTS Hologram down! The fans fire up, then Mortos runs to sunset flip! Hologram rolls through, Komander tags in, and Komander springboards to SPLASH! Komander bounces off the cover, comes back and tilt-o-whirl RANAAS! Mortos flounders away, Dralistico tags in. Mortos BOOTS Komander, Dralistico springboards but Komander dodges. Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!
Dralistico runs back in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Harley says this is “Luchamazing!” Dralistico fires up, runs up, but Komander blocks! Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend. Harley says she forgot, but she’s gotta go, she’ll be back. Harley hops off commentary, who is she going to call?
Komander puts Dralistico on the apron but Dralistico mule kicks Hologram! Dralistico dodges Komander’s tiger feint kick, and Komander ends up on the apron. Mortos runs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up! Fans lose their minds, Harley scampers off, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mortos drags Hologram up, SMACKS him back down, and Dralistico sends Komander into railing! Then Dralistico drags Komander up, RAILING BACKBREAKER! Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref. Dralistico then drags Komander up, brings him around, and whips him to ropes. Dralistico ELBOWS Komander down, tags in Mortos, and Mortos fires up. Mortos NECK TWISTS Komander! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!
Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!
Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here! And suspiciously wearing gear just like Harley’s. Dralistico TOSSES Hologram in just for fun, then stands him up to CHOP! Dralistico runs at Komander in the other corner, but Komander breaks free! Slam Dunk Sunday returns to single picture as Dralistico hits buckles! Hologram runs in and LARIATS! Komander SUPERKICKS! Komander feeds Dralistico to Hologram’s SPANISH FLY!

The fans are thunderous again, but Mortos scoops Komander!
Mortos hits the BEAST BREAKER!! Then he runs to FLYING ELBOW! Hologram runs in and goes up, then up to POISON-RANA! But Dralistico FLYING CRUCIFIX DRIVERS!!

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall
A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?
My Thoughts:
A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.
Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.
And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.
My Score: 8.8/10

AEW TNT Championship: Daniel Garcia VS Adam Cole!
No time to waste, we’re jumping right to the action! Red Death and the Panama City Playboy had their previous match rudely interrupted, but now there is a ringside ban on EVERYBODY! Will Garcia prove he’s still the Face of TNT? Or will the title become Undisputed?

He has the mic to tell Omaha, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that claim given Caster is 0-5 at his own challenge. But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man.

The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor.

Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?

And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match.

Winners: The Don Callis family, by pinfall
Omaha was served up some meat and chicken with sugar on top, but the Don Callis Family ate it all! Will this win help Konosuke head back for a title opportunity in time for Dynasty? Will Hobbs at least be allowed to move on from the Don Callis Family?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here for just the first half of the Slam Dunk Weekend, as recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. I kinda like Collision being just one hour, but obviously they’ll go back to two hours on one night next week. Opening with the TNT Championship was quite the surprise, but that did help it go the full 20 minutes, which was a particularly clever move here. Garcia keeps the title but Cole was very close, so maybe we get a third match where they extend or completely do away with the time limit to get a definitive winner. And at that point, I would think Adam Cole wins to finally have a singles title in AEW.
Good stuff in Caster again losing his own Open Challenge. Good win for Hook as it’s been a minute since he’s had a singles match. With Caster harping on Bowens being absent, this really needs to culminate with Bowens answering the challenge, winning that first time, but then Caster wanting a rematch. Then that match will be awesome stuff, but still ultimately won by Bowens to get it in Caster’s head that he can’t just say he’s the Best Wrestler Alive and put it on a piece of paper. Then we can see Caster take his character in another direction, maybe do some soul searching. Or more likely, just double down and be even more insufferable.
Very good match for Hart VS Aminata 3, hard to say if it was that much better than the previous, but Hart winning makes sense with Aminata VS Deeb still needing to happen. A shame the Aminata-Deeb feud had to build in the background of the Aminata-Hart feud, but it’s not like they could do more on a week to week basis. Unless… Well, snark aside, Aminata will surely take Deeb up on at least that Pure Rules match for a first-time-ever in the Women’s Division, and I would love for a Women’s Pure Championship to be created in time for Supercard of Honor. It actually works out that Supercard had to be pushed back to avoid clashing with WrestleMania, because the pacing of the Women’s Division definitely can/will go all the way to May.
Very good promo from Harley to not just hype up Slam Dunk Sunday, but to also poke fun at how she is so obviously Harley-gram, and that there is some, uh, animal magnetism between her and Mortos. And Schiavone said that Komander & Hologram VS Mortos & Dralistico will be the main event, so you can bet there will be shenanigans involving Mortos and Harley/Harley-gram.
My Score: 8.8/10
