Mercedes Mone & Kamille walk ‘n’ talk.

The CEO wants eyes up here, cameraman. “Tacomaaa~! Say hello to your Double Champion, The C E O. And we have arrived! Now where is my locker room?” Mone asks a AEW staff member that very question, and hopes she has her espresso machine. She has to get ready for the show. Queen Aminata steps in to say that she doesn’t care who Mone is, or how many titles she has, or what she’s done in this business. There is no reason to be rude like this. Oh, no reason~! Who even are YOU? Mone has no time for Aminata. Now, to her locker room! The CEO has disrespected a queen, will she come to regret it?

Tony Schiavone is on stage.

Garcia changes targets from Perry to the Wolf of Wrestling! MJF has returned after being put on the shelf by Garcia!

MJF has them cut his music, but he has no mic in hand. MJF and Garcia are face to face in the ring, talking a lot of trash, but then Perry CLOBBERS Garcia! The fans boo and MJF steps back. The Scapegoat is a snake, and MJF grins because he’s a vulture! MJF takes off his coat, then his shirt, and he mocking asks if Garcia is okay, before raining down fists! The fans boo more, and now MJF wants a mic! MJF stands on Garcia’s neck as he says, “Danny, it’s been awhile since I saw you, buddy. As I recall, last time I saw you, I beat you without breaking a sweat. And then I went on to make several movies and several millions. Bu tone second.”

MJF rains down more fists! Then MJF says Garcia’s been up to big stuff since then, too. Apparently there was a bidding war? That was about as real as the Seattle Supersonics. The fans boo that but MJF says he’s talking, Seattle! Oh wait, this is Tacoma! WHO GIVES A S*IT!? But hey, Garcia, thanks for telling MJF that his Dynamite Diamond Ring was in a pawn shop somewhere in Buffalo. It took some time, but MJF found it! And now Garcia’s gonna kiss it!

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy and Jerry Lynn.

Renee is with Freshly Squeezed and the Board of Directors member, and says Jerry has something to say to Cassidy. Jerry thanks Cassidy for the time, and wants us to know that he has been doing this for 40 YEARS, yet has never seen anyone like Cassidy. Cassidy is unique, special, connects with the fans, and even connects with other wrestlers. Jerry even dressed as Cassidy for Halloween last year. But Jerry just wants to know that while Cassidy has been through some stuff, Cassidy stepped up. With all the chaos going on, if Cassidy really wanted to, if he really tried, he could be the man around here. Just food for thought.

Jerry leaves, but in steps Hook. Hook says he should listen to Jerry. Cassidy is the man. Hook and Cassidy fist bump, and Cassidy definitely has something to think about. Will Orange look to have gold once again?

Prince Nana is here!

The fans cheer as he’s already in the ring, mic in hand. He plugs Prince Nana Coffee, but then says he has to bring out our man for the update. He is the Forever AEW World Champion, the most dangerous man in AEW, and his boss, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The fans fire up as The Realest makes his entrance, gets a spotlight and pyro, and he goes to the ring. The “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” continues, and then Nana hands the mic to Swerve. The fans chant “Welcome Home! Welcome Home!” and Swerve says, “Not gonna lie, man. It feels a little weird being out here without the AEW World Championship around my waist.

“But with that home welcoming, I’m kinda happy again. Thank you very much.” The fans cheer, and we get more “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve says they’re saying what he needs for him. But to cut to the chase, his medical update. It is a little wonky, he still has tingling in his neck that shoots to his waist, legs, and fingers. It is like all the things he said about Bryan is coming back on him. Karma’s a mug, huh? But that all said… Swerve is medically cleared. The fans cheer that! Swerve wanted to come out here and address his hometown, his people, and tell us all about the past, the present, and what he plans for the future.

But then Montel Vontavious Porter interrupts. A future? What a great segue, Swerve! Because the future is what MVP and Shelton Benjamin are here to discuss. But maybe minion Nana didn’t pass word along, because Swerve hasn’t called, answered emails, answered DMs, so maybe Swerve must be in deep contemplation thinking about his decisions regarding his future. MVP & Shelton join Swerve & Nana in the ring. MVP says they have history They go way back! In fact, MVP believed in Swerve even before Swerve did. MVP told Swerve about the great things that lay ahead. MVP is the one who said on The Wrestlers that their future was in great hands!

The fans chant “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” and MVP says yes, it IS Swerve’s House! It is! But see, right now, unfortunately for Swerve, his career is floundering. The fans boo, but MVP says hold on. His resume speaks for itself. One thing MVP is good at is taking former champions and helping them remember the things that what allowed them to be great. To ascend to the mountaintop and have the titles they should have. So now, let’s talk business. Swerve says first off, hello. Secondly, MVP did give Swerve a lot of great advice back in like 2017. Remember that match they had in Defy? Fans cheer that name drop!

And remember when Swerve won? Yes, MVP did! Swerve learned a whole lot that night that he still carries with him. And even further, Swerve saw MVP take a lot of great stars and put them to superstardom, above pro-wrestling! So inspiring! Just like Shelton Benjamin! The fans cheer as Swerve says Shelton’s a big inspiration to a lot of people! 12-year-old Swerve would be crying just standing here with Shelton! Shelton’s presence on TV meant so much to Swerve, because it paved the way for Black wrestlers in this ring, all because of Shelton. The fans cheer that!

But now… Swerve was watching the show. And Nana, the stuff MVP has been saying, it’s not wrong. Uh oh. The last couple months have not been good. Swerve can’t even remember what happened in the cage match from getting beat so bad. But since being with Nana, Swerve has lost the main event at All Out, has lost his childhood home, but most importantly, he lost the AEW World Championship. Swerve says that was all under Nana’s watch. On the other hand, Swerve wouldn’t have had all that if not for Nana. The fans cheer that! But then on the other hand again, Swerve and MVP go away back! The potential of what they could do in AEW… They could make some real history.

Swerve likes having power more than anyone. He is already the most dangerous man, so with MVP & Shelton, OH MY GAWD! Though, Nana, gotta say, there are a lot of things just kinda irk Swerve. Swerve is watching the percentages in his wages going up and up. Not sure what that’s about. Nana’s still selling weed to high schoolers in parking lots… So Hangman was right?! Swerve says yes, that’s still a thing. Nana is neurotic, sporadic, absent minded, but the biggest thing is… Nana is… family. And Swerve doesn’t turn on his back on family for anybody! The fans cheer as Swerve tells MVP to take his business cards and shove ’em!

The fans cheer, nana does his dance, and swerve says we’re in whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Shelton gets in Swerve’s face and says he misread the situation. See, they weren’t asking. They were telling Swerve that there is no Swerve without them. So he’s either with them or against them. Nana steps in, Shelton shoves Nana but Swerve shoves Shelton! MVP has Shelton stand down, they gotta pick their spot! Refs and Daniels rush out here, fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” but Shelton DECKS a ref! MVP says NO, that’s not how they do this! MVP and Shelton leave first, and the fans are on Swerve’s side. What will MVP & Shelton do to make Swerve pay for this disrespect?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Renee Paquette doesn’t do the CEO introduction she did on Tuesday, but now it’s not good enough for the Two Belt Boss! Mone says she needs something something, more flava. Then joining her now is- Okay, no, Renee is better off just asking the questions. Renee congratulates Mone on her double title defense victory on Title Tuesday, but those chops from Emi Sakura…! It was like one after another! Wasn’t it like 30 or something? Mone & Kamille tell Renee to stop. Mone is still feeling the pain. But she is The CEO, she has no time for this, it is time to handle business. She has to go jump on her private jet, something Renee knows nothing about!

But Kamille is staying here to watch Kris Statlander very closely. And do you know why? Because money changes everything! Bye-bye, Renee. Mone heads out, Brickhouse stays, and Renee sheepishly exits. Will Kamille make sure the #BornAgainKristen doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk?

The Acclaimed VS ???

Speaking of talking and walking, Platinum Max Caster leads the way for Anthony Bowens as they- GET JUMPED BY MXM COLLECTION!? The fans boo as Mansoor & Mason Madden beat down Caster & Bowens! Mason may have been a football player but he dribbles Caster off the ramp while Mansoor stomps away on Bowens! Mason RIPS the customized jacket, to then CHOKE Caster with it! Mansoor runs Bowens right into the side of the tunnel! MXM is getting revenge for their New York fashion show finale being ruined, and they place The Acclaimed side by side on stage.

Mansoor has Caster’s mic to say, “Now you see what happens, huh!? Now you see what happens when Daddy Ass isn’t around to protect you. We drop you on YOUR asses! And I bet you didn’t think we could do it, huh? I bet none of you thought MXM Collection were capable of this!” Bowens tris to sit up but Mansoor stomps him down. Mansoor says MXM didn’t wanna take it this far! They wanted to keep it light. They wanted to keep it fun. But Acclaimed took something special from them! They took MXM’s Grand Slam Collision moment away!

“So now, we are going to take something from you. Tomorrow night, WrestleDream, MXM Collection BEAT The Acclaimed, and WE are going to take YOUR spot!” The fans boo, but Mansoor says when numbers are even, MXM come out on top. Tomorrow night, MXM will have a very special surprise in their corner. It will be a third man, and Acclaimed, Mansoor promises them, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that third man will make sure they KILL scissoring and bury it once and for all! Mansoor then shouts to Mason, “Touch! My! Tip!” They finger boop as the fans boo, but both challenge and promise have been made. Who will be that third man, brother?

Kris Statlander speaks.

“You ever feel like somewhere along the way, you lost who you were? That’s exactly what happened to me. When you make a change, you need to think where you went wrong or how you got there. For me, everything went wrong when Mercedes Mone showed up. My best friend became obsessed with her. I let Stokely get in my ear, and I got led down the wrong path. I didn’t know who I was, but I did what I needed to do. And on the five year anniversary of Dynamite, I was reminded of who I am. I became ‘Born Again Kristen,’ and I am the biggest, baddest, strongest woman in AEW. I’m coming for Mercedes Mone and her TBS title.”

The Galaxy’s Greatest has her head on straight, but will she be able to earn that shot at championship redemption in the background of WrestleDream?

Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.

Renee is with Cassidy, Kyle and Rocky, and she commends Cassidy & Kyle on their win over The Kingdom. And tonight, Rocky is going to step into the ring with “The Bad Apple,” Bryan Keith. How does he feel ahead of his match? Rocky says he’s a little pissed. On Title Tuesday, The Learning Tree said Rocky was just some lackey for The Conglomeration. But Rocky is no man’s lackey! Tonight, he shows the Learning Tree, and most importantly Bryan Keith, that Rocky is his own man. Kyle says that’s right, Rocky. But um, Mark Briscoe isn’t here tonight, so what’s the word of the day? Kyle really needs to know.

Rocky says the word of the day is they stand back here while he handles business. Rocky heads out, will Azucar get himself some sweet victory? Or will The Bad Apple make him taste bitter defeat?

Kris Statlander VS Amira!

With The CEO’s Brickhouse watching backstage, #BornAgainKristen looks to keep her win streak going. Will there be no stopping Kris on her road back to the TBS Championship?

The bell rings, and Kris runs right up to UPPERCUT Amira in a corner! Then she goes side to side to KNEE Amira, and reels her in for a suplex! Kris holds Amira up to show off that strength, and then she SLAMS Amira down! Kris kips up and the fans fire up! Kris storms back up on Amira, but Amira fires forearms! Kris shoves Amira, Amira ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Kris stops the rana! Tuck and STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall

Another win that wasn’t just strong, but fast! Kamille is only moderately impressed, but will she be feeling different about Kris after they have a head-on Collision?

Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.

Renee is with The Learning Tree and brings up tomorrow night, WrestleDream, and the ROH World Championship match with Mark Briscoe. However, Jericho has quickly made this match personal with Mark, what is going on? Jericho smiles and says, “Hi, guys~! You know what’s personal to me, Renee? It’s the legacy of Chris Jericho. And after 34 years in this business, I can honestly say I’ve done and seen it all. I have headlined the biggest buildings in the world, from the Tokyo Dome to Madison Square Garden, to Rod Laver Arena in Sydney, Australia. Arena Mexico, everything. Nobody has had the impact over generations like Chris Jericho has.

“And now, it’s the dawn of a new Chris Jericho. As you know, I always reinvent myself, evolve. I was The Ocho. But now, it’s time for The Nueve. And Mark Briscoe, you know what the word of the day is? It’s, ‘Humbled.’ And you need to be humbled. Cuz you got a great rep, everyone feels for you. They give you a lot of free rides. You get to cut a lot of corners. The fans feel the same way, I don’t. So at WrestleDream tomorrow, I am going to humble you, Mark Briscoe. And if I made things personal, that’s just too bad. If I’m getting inside your head, that’s just what Chris Jericho does.

“So tomorrow at WrestleDream, I will become the ROH World Champion, for a second time! Just like Jay Briscoe, two-time ROH Champion. And Mark, that’s going to be personal. See you tomorrow. The Nueve’s coming. Thanks, guys~!” Jericho stops smiling, but will he fail to keep that promise against a very angry Sussex County Chicken?

The Beast Mortos VS The Butcher!

Roderick Strong is on commentary to claim Beast Mortos has simply wondered away from The Kingdom, and he just needs to see he cannot trust Jake The Snake Roberts. But will Mortos only focus on destroying his opponent? Or can The Butcher make Mortos in a prime cut of beef?

The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. The fans rally, the two tie up again, and then the two break again. Butcher and Mortos fire up, tie up again, and push each other back and forth. Butcher puts Mortos in the corner, the fans chant “BEAT THAT MEAT!” but the ref counts. Butcher backs off, he and Mortos reset, and they tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but now Mortos powers Butcher back. Mortos lets off, but then SMACKS Butcher! The fans fire up as Butcher snarls. Butcher and Mortos tie up, and Butcher wrenches an arm to a wristlock.

Mortos goes up the ropes to flip through! Mortos wrenches, headlocks, but Butcher powers out. They RAM shoulders, and Butcher says Mortos’s got nothing! Mortos runs, he RAMS Butcher again, and Butcher says that’s nothing! Mortos fires up, runs, and RAMS Butcher again! Mortos eggs Butcher on, so Butcher runs, and Mortos drops! Mortos runs up, Butcher dodges but Mortos dodges back! Mortos rolls off Butcher’s back, then SOBATS! Front kick! ELBOW! Snapmare, and NECK TWIST! The fans fire up with Mortos, even Roddy cheers, and Mortos runs up. Butcher BOOTS back!

Butcher fireman’s carries, GUTBUSTER DROP, then LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Mortos survives, but Butcher stands him up to fire forearms. Butcher whips, Mortos reverses, then runs in. Butcher BOOTS Mortos, but Mortos fires up! Mortos runs in, Butcher dodges, and Mortos hits the corner! Mortos tumbles up and out, Butcher pursues, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Butcher CLUBS Mortos, then brings him around to whip into the apron! Butcher LARIATS Mortos down, and he looms over the beast. Butcher drags Mortos up, to then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Mortos staggers then falls over, and Butcher refreshes the ring count. Butcher ROCKS Mortos, CHOPS him, then stalks him around the way. Mortos SMACKS Butcher! Butcher ROCKS Mortos! Butcher SMACKS Mortos off the steel steps, then stalks him around the way. Butcher ROCKS Mortos again, Roddy shouts for Mortos to get going, but Butcher BITES Mortos on the forehead! The ref reprimands but Butcher stalks Mortos.

Butcher BOOTS Mortos, puts him in the ring, then storms over. Butcher drags Mortos into a chinlock and digs fingers into Mortos’ face! Butcher CLUBS Mortos but Mortos fires body shots! Mortos backs Butcher down, fires up, but Butcher CLOBBERS him from behind! Butcher drops a knee on Mortos, Mortos goes to a corner, and Butcher digs his boots in. The ref counts, but Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns and now Mortos has Butcher down. The fans fire up and Mortos storms up to LARIAT! But Butcher stays up! Mortos LARIATS again, but Butcher shakes his head. Mortos runs, but Butcher ROCKS him first! Butcher runs, but Mortos follows to SPLASH at the ropes! Mortos runs and baits Butcher in! HEADBUTT! Mortos roars, but DOUBLE LARIATS take both behemoths down! The fans fire up and a standing count starts. Butcher and Mortos slowly rise, and they go to opposite ends. Mortos storms up to fireman’s carry and WASTELAND SLAM! The fans fire up as Mortos climbs!

The fans fire up as Mortos PHOENIX FLOPS as Butcher moves! Butcher runs up, waistlocks, half nelson and BACKBRAEKER! Then a deadlift JACKHAMMER!! Cover, TWO!! Mortos survives and Butcher is frustrated. Butcher points to the corner, climbs it, but Mortos CLUBS him! Mortos torture racks Butcher, BACKBREAKER DROP!! Even Roddy is stunned! Mortos hits a FLYING HEADBUTT!! Cover, Mortos wins!

Winner: The Beast Mortos, by pinfall

Roddy says he was Mortos’ good luck charm! Jake the Snake is watching, he likes what he sees from his new client. But will Mortos be able to bring down Hologram in their WrestleDream Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee is with the wild Aussie and asks if there’s any update on Saraya, who suffered in that brutal loss on Title Tuesday in that Fatal 4 Way. Harley says yes, Saraya is once again “incapacitated.” Then how is Harley holding up? She’s capacitated. What? Exactly! But do you know whose fault this really is? Does Renee know whom? Who? No, whom. Just say whom. ANNA JAY! What? She wasn’t even in the match! Exactly! It was an Anything Goes, so Anna could’ve been that anything, but she didn’t show up. Harley had to pull wood outta her ass, but where was Anna? Probably home watching her Stardom tapes? Ohh~!

All of a sudden, Anna goes to Japan and now she’s too big for the rest of them? Anna was supposed to be Saraya’s friend, but she wasn’t there, and now Saraya is pissed. And when Saraya is pissed, Harley kicks ass! Renee is confused, Harley says no more questions, and Harley storms off. Will the Star of the Show pay for simply doing nothing?

Lance Archer VS Matt Brannigan!

He may be part of the Don Callis Family now, but he’s still the Murderhawk Monster! He demolished people in the parking lot, he demolished his opponent on ROH last night, will he just keep on demolishing people until he’s become a champion?

The bell rings and Brannigan flexes right up in Archer’s face, but then regrets it. Archer choke grips, but Brannigan slips free! Brannigan dodges in the corner, CHOPS, but again regrets it.

The fans fire up, Archer puts Brannigan back in the corner, and he fakes the chop. The fans boo but Archer puts Brannigan up top. UPPERCUT, and then crucifix lift! BLACKOUT BOMB! Cover, Archer wins!

Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall

Callis loves the dominance of his Murderhawk Monster, but will Callis help Archer finally have gold here in AEW?

Jake the Snake speaks.

It was just after Title Tuesday and the world saw La Faccion Ingobernable join this living legend when Jake Roberts said, “Anybody that knows Jake Roberts knows that Jake Roberts has been all over the world, wrestled everyone. From Andre the Giant to Hulk Hogan and back. It did not matter. But they also know that Jake Roberts never cared about rules. Rules are for children. We’re not children. My friend, what we have here, matadors? Maybe. Maybe ninjas, who knows. I will tell you this: They’re hungry. What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. Because when Jake Roberts tells you something, you can take it to heart.

“Rules are meant to be broken, like bones. And my friend, they’ll be glad to do both for you.” Rush tells us all to remember: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! LFI throw up the fists, who will get those fists in their face in the very near future?

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.

Renee is now with The Star of the Show and brings up the harsh words from Harley. Harley blames Anna for not being a friend? Anna says yes, that’s right, they’re not friends, never were friends. It was a one-time team up, and they took some nice pictures, but Anna’s not running out to the ring to help two women who wouldn’t even spit on her if she was on fire. Anna takes care of herself, and that is fine. She has her own back, and needs both hands. What has she been saying since getting back? #JustTryMe. So what’s so hard about that? Anna is here and ready for anyone.

Harley wants to kick Anna’s ass? This one? Anna shows it to the camera. Just a heads up, this ass can kick back. Harley has been warned, will she reconsider her misplaced aggression?

Rocky Romero VS Bryan Keith!

Azucar may not be on the current Conglomeration merch shirt, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less a part of the team. Will Rocky make sure everyone, especially The Bad Apple, understands that?

But Keith doesn’t wait for the bell, he attacks Rocky at the corner! The bell does ring, Keith fires off forearms, and the ref reprimands. Keith lets off just to dig his boot in, but the ref tells Keith to stop. Keith snatches Rocky’s eyepatch away, then SMACKS him with it! Keith CHOPS Rocky, whips him corner to corner, but Rocky goes up and up to CROSSBODY! Rocky rains down fists, and he fires up! The fans fire up with Rocky but Keith bails out. Rocky finally takes off his jacket, and goes out after Keith. Keith knees low, whips, but Rocky stops from hitting steps! Rocky SMACKS Keith off steps, then uses steps to go up and FLYING RANA!

The fans fire up while Rocky gives some Latino Heat. Rocky puts Keith in, climbs a corner, but Keith bails out. The fans boo, but then Rocky WRECKS Keith with a dropkick! Rocky hurries out after Keith and the fans rally again. Rocky uses steps again, but Keith catches Rocky! EXPLODER to the floor! Rocky writhes and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Keith storms up on Rocky, rains down fists, but stops as the ref reprimands. Keith paces around, drags Rocky up, and CHOPS him! Rocky staggers away, Keith storms up and CHOPS again. Keith whips Rocky hard into railing! Rocky falls in a heap but Keith still seethes. Keith drags Rocky up, puts him in, and then drags Rocky up just to snapmare him back down. Keith drops a knee on Rocky’s face! Cover, TWO! Keith argues the count but Aubrey defends that two is two. Keith storms after Rocky to CHOP him in a corner. Keith stalks Rocky, bumps him off buckles, then puts him against ropes!

Aubrey counts, Keith lets off, and Keith puts Rocky in a corner. Keith whips corner to corner, Rocky reverses, then Rocky runs up to LARIAT! Rocky fires up, runs again, LARIAT! That’s two-ever but Rocky keeps moving, only for Keith to use Aubrey as a shield! Jericho really has taught him well. Rocky helps Aubrey aside, and he fires haymakers on Keith! Rocky ROCKS Keith, then whips corner to corner. Keith reverses, runs up, and he LARIATS Rocky inside-out! Keith then shouts at the camera, probably “RESPECT CHRIS JERICHO!” Keith clamps onto Rocky with a chinlock and grinds him down.

Rocky endures, pries at the hold, and fights up to his feet. Rocky fires body shots, then ROCKS Keith! And ROCKS him again! Keith CHOPS, Rampage returns to single picture, then he runs up. Rocky BOOTS back, but Keith just roars! Rocky BOOTS him again, then CHOPS Keith on the back! Rocky CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Keith in the chest, then puts Keith in a corner. Rocky KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away, then stomps a mudhole! Rocky digs both boots in, but Aubrey counts. Rocky lets off and is all fired up, as is Spokane. Rocky waits on Keith, runs in at him, but Keith dodges! Keith runs in, but into an UPPERCUT!

Rocky goes up and up and FLYING TORNADO DDTS! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives but Rocky stays focused. Rocky drags Keith up, then runs up to SLICED- NO, Keith slips free of the bread. Keith fires elbows, Rocky ducks one, but Keith runs up ropes! Rocky denies Keith his tornado DDT, and then wrenches, only for Keith to ROCK him! Underhooks, TIGER KNEE STRIKE! Cover, TWO!! Rocky survives and Keith is stunned! Keith pulls at his hair in frustration but the fans rally up. Keith tells the kids to sit down, and he watches Rocky go to a corner. Keith runs in, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI!

Rocky goes up, leaps, but into another clinch! EXP- SUNSET FLIP! Keith rolls through, blocks a kick, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Rocky runs up, SLICED BREAD!! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives again and the fans fire up! Rocky pounds the mat, the fans rally behind him, and he goes to a corner. Rocky climbs, but Keith hurries after him! Rocky fights the clinch, ROCKS Keith, but Keith RISING HEADBUTTS! Keith roars, fans boo, but Keith climbs up. Keith turns Rocky around, and BITES Rocky’s head! Aubrey reprimands, but Keith brings Rocky up, only for Rocky to fight! Rocky HEADBUTTS, and cravats!

The fans fire up for the SUPER SLICED BREAD!! Rocky clutches a leg, crawls to the cover, but Keith rolls away! Keith saves himself and fans boo as he goes to the floor. Rocky is frustrated, but he just builds speed. Rocky DIVES and down goes Keith! The fans fire up again and Rocky hobbles after Keith. Rocky drags Keith up, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally again. But Keith talks to Aubrey about pain in his neck. BIG BILL APPEARS, and he YANKS Rocky down! Then he BOOTS Rocky down! The fans boo but Bill puts Rocky in, Aubrey completely missing it! Keith runs in to KNEE Rocky at the corner!

Keith goes up and he reels Rocky in! DIAMOND DUST!! Cover, Keith wins!!

Winner: Bryan Keith, by pinfall

Kyle & Cassidy hurry out here but it is too late! The Bad Apple scores his win off Azucar, and he leaves to celebrate with The Redwood. Will there be no stopping The Learning Tree from having gold in his branches? Or can Mark Briscoe #ManUp and prevent The Nueve’s arrival?

My Thoughts:

A very good Rampage, even for a go-home, but clearly it suffered from the same dilemma as Dynamite in that with no Collision to take the pressure off, a lot more promos and story build had to be put here. Good promo from Mone to play off the one from Tuesday, good promo from Statlander to give us some idea as to why she got away from Stokely, and of course Kris squashes her opponent. Kris VS Kamille is going to be great stuff, and I think Kris sets herself up for a match with Mone at Full Gear. Good promo from Harley and Anna to set up their own match, which I would think Anna wins to get going towards her own title shot.

The Acclaimed being scheduled for a match just so MXM can jump them was pretty clever, but do they really need to have their match on WrestleDream? It feels like the only reason it’s a PPV match is because this third man will pull a Hulk Hogan founding NWO type move. It’ll be a Face going Heel and joining up. I don’t think it’ll be Daddy Ass, there has been no hint he wants out of The Acclaimed. It might be Caster because he wants to break away and prove he on his own is “The Best Wrestler Alive.” This blindside attack would then be a way to disguise that, because Caster got beat up as much as Bowens, but I guess we’ll wait and see.

Mortos VS Butcher was great stuff, and I found it kinda funny that Roddy was on commentary trying to still turn Mortos back to his side. Roddy & The Kingdom claiming all this stuff about Mortos has been pretty funny because clearly it’s all their delusion. Mortos is LFI, he and Hologram are going to have an awesome, potentially show stealing match, and then win or lose, Mortos and LFI will beat up The Kingdom. As such, good promo from Jake the Snake, I really hope LFI gets going this time. Meanwhile, Archer of course destroyed Brannigan, and likewise, let’s hope Archer can get a title now that Callis is his guy.

And really good stuff out of The Conglomeration’s story tonight. Very good tag match to open, can’t go wrong with Cassidy & Kyle VS Kingdom. What’s interesting was the respectful handshake after the match, so that further implies The Kingdom is going Face so they can battle LFI. Good promo from Jericho to give some last hype to the ROH World Championship, but I would hope Mark Briscoe wins. Rocky had a very good promo with Conglomeration, and a great match against Bryan Keith. But I just had a feeling Keith would win thanks to Bill, and good detail that Conglomeration didn’t get out there in time. That technically did honor Rocky’s request that they stay back, but Rocky should’ve known better. I would hope Rocky doesn’t cost Mark the title, we cannot go back to “Ring of Jericho”. No Nueve, por favor.

My Score: 8.6/10
