AEW mourns the loss of Jerry Jarrett.
8 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Billy Gunn & The Acclaimed VS Team Triple J!
Just as Freshly Squeezed, Daddy Ass, Max Caster & Anthony Bowens thought they were done with Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh, that awful quartet had to go and attack Cassidy on Rampage! Sonjay still rubs in how he stole Paul Walter Hauser’s Golden Globe, but will he lose that and this match? Or will Team Triple J’s egos be even bigger in Texas?
But of course, Platinum Max has a diss track on deck! “Yo, Jeff! I heard the news, man, that’s too bad. Your dad was a legend, but you just a douchebag! Coming in hot like a asteroid, you will never beat me like the Ass Boys. How was Valentine’s at your compound? Getting no play, it’s TNA Lockdown. There’s no point in fighting back, when we’re done with y’all, we’re gonna get the titles back.” Bowens takes the mic to say, “LAAAREDOOOO~! The Acclaimed have arrived! SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS~!” And he does! Fans fire up as the teams sort out, and Sonjay starts against Bowens, but then Lethal says he wants in?
Sonjay tags Lethal, he and Bowens circle, then tie up. Lethal wrenches and hammerlocks Bowens to then slap him around, but Bowens switches things around to headlock. Lethal powers out, waistlocks, but Bowens switches again. Bowens spins Lethal, snapmares, and then Oklahoma Rolls, TWO! Lethal has a leg, “WOO~!” and step through, but into a cradle! TWO, and Lethal kicks low! Lethal whips Bowens to ropes, Bowens holds those ropes and kicks Lethal down!

Lethal gets up and he RAMS Caster into the Triple J corner. Tag to Jarrett and he fires haymakers! Fans sing “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy~!” but Jarrett tells them to shut up. Jarrett whips Caster but Caster reverses to hip toss! And arm-drag! And DROPKICK! Fans fire up and Caster air guitars, then he brings Jarrett up. Caster whips, Jarrett throws Caster down by his hair! Fans boo but Jarrett tags in Satnam!
The One in a Billion storms up, but Caster backs up. Fans fire up, but before Caster can tag in Billy, Cassidy tags himself in! The All-Atlantic Champion steps to the literally biggest guy in AEW and fans fire up. But Satnam mocks Cassidy’s height, then tags in Sonjay. Sonjay fires up and goes around Cassidy, slapping his jeans. Cassidy puts his hands up, fans fire up, and then Billy tags in! Sonjay backs away quickly, and he tags out to Jarrett! But wait, someone is on stage now! It’s the new AEW World Tag Team Champions, Austin & Colten Gunn! They tease doing scissor fingers, but then tell The Acclaimed to “SUCK IT!”
Fans boo and taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” but Billy hammerlocks Jarrett. Jarrett elbows free but Billy puts him on the ropes. The ref counts, Billy lets off and glares at his sons. Billy runs, but Jarrett ELBOWS Billy! Jarrett runs to STRADDLE ATTACK! Jarrett struts, as do Sonjay, Lethal and Satnam. Billy runs in, Jarrett dodges and Lethal gets a cheap shot in!

They stand Billy up, double whip him to ropes, but Billy reverses to send Lethal away. Lethal holds ropes, Jarrett hits a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Lethal struts then CHOKES Billy! The ref reprimands, Lethal lets off, and Lethal drags Billy away.
Tag to Satnam and Satnam BLASTS the corner! Billy is isolated as Satnam brings him up. But Billy kicks low, throws hands and more kicks! Billy whips but Satnam reverses to CLOBBER Billy! The Acclaimed run in, dodge Satnam and BLAST Lethal & Jarrett! But they turn around into DOUBLE LARIATS from Satnam! But Cassidy throws off his armband, ORANGE- NO, Satnam catches the punch!

Bryan Danielson speaks.
“The die has been cast. The dice have been rolled. Max is scared to sh*t, and I feel like gold. Because now, I am going to AEW Revolution to challenge for the AEW World Championship in an Ironman Match. And you cannot tell me for one single second there is one person who thinks MJF has more heart than me! He can’t go 60 minutes the way I can go 60 minutes! I guarantee you, he is shaking in his boots. Max, what you did tonight was the act of a scared and desperate man who knows that the boogeyman is coming to take his AEW World Championship.” The American Dragon has not been slayed, will he burn down the Devil of AEW?

Will Hangman even have his match with Kip now? Or did his night just go from Superbad to worse?
Jim Ross has a sit-down interview with Wardlow.
Good ol’ JR doesn’t recall “seeing anything more shocking the night you lost the TNT Championship to Samoa Joe. When you and Joe were tag team partners, I’m sure you had many private conversations. Sometimes in hindsight, you may look back and say, ‘I shouldn’t have said that.’ So in any event, here we are. What’s next for you?” Wardlow says he and Joe “did share some personal stories with our time together. The part of the story with my father I want to share here today is, from the time I can remember to the time I was eight years old, that man instilled every ounce of athleticism and drive that I have in me today.
“Unfortunately, from the time I was eight until the time I was a young adult, he was not in my life. But as a young adult, he reentered my life, and we were able to start to have some sort of a father-son relationship. As soon as that happened, I got a call from him that he had Stage 4 cancer, and didn’t have a lot of time left. Unfortunately, the next time I would see him would be as he laid in a hospital bed on hospice. I’d just started my wrestling journey, and he did make it to my first indie show. So he was able to see me wrestle, and he was so proud of me.
“And that’s all I could think of to tell him to give him any peace, was, ‘I promise you, I will be a better man, I will do right, and I’m gonna make it.’ And that was the last thing I ever said to him. I got a phone call the next morning saying he had passed. After he passed, I had never grown my beard, never grown my hair, but after seeing cancer take that all from him, I decided for the first time, I’m gonna grow my beard out, I’m gonna grow my hair out. And that’s the look that we’ve come to learn and know of Wardlow over the past few years. And Joe knew that. And Joe took that from me, my connection with my father.”
Wardlow tells Joe, “You took that from me. Now look me in the eyes, because this is the last thing you’re ever gonna see as the man you are today. Even though you’ve survived every company, every monster this business has to offer, Joe, you will not survive me!” Joe fired the first shot, will he not survive the war dog that is coming for him?
Mark Briscoe VS Josh Woods w/ Tony Nese, Ari Daivari & Mark Sterling!
The Sussex County Chicken is now #AllElite, but his first test is an opponent he’s known for a long time in ROH. Will Mark fly high and continue to honor the legacy of #DemBoys? Or will Woods have The Goods to ruin the ride?
The bell rings and fans rally as the two get face to face. Woods pushes Briscoe but Briscoe pushes back. They tie up, go around, and fans chant for “DEM BOYS!” Woods puts Briscoe in a corner, the ref counts, and Woods lets off. Briscoe turns things around but Woods narrowly avoids the chop! Briscoe says it was that close, and he circles with Woods again. They tie up, Woods gets a high crotch ankle pick takedown. Woods uses that to then waistlock and bring Briscoe up to wrench and clamp on an armlock. Nese & Sterling applaud but fans boo. But Briscoe fights up and he puts Woods on the ropes.
The ref counts, Briscoe lets off, but Woods avoids another chop. Woods knees low, whips Briscoe to ropes, but Briscoe ducks the super punch to CLOBBER Woods! Fans fire up while Woods falls out of the ring. Briscoe builds speed, but Sterling distracts the ref so Daivari & Nese can trip Briscoe and drag him out!

That’s 2-0 for Mark Briscoe in AEW, and his All Elite journey has only just begun! Will Briscoe look to add AEW gold to the family legacy?
Renee Young has a sit-down interview with Adam Cole.
Renee says it is so good to see him. We’re all glad to see he’s back, to hear from him, and to see him step inside the ring again. How has he been? He’s been great, seriously. He can’t be happier to be back on the road with AEW, “there’s a little part of me that’s a little discouraged. Because obviously, I’m so close to looking at that ring and imagining getting back in there. But I’ve learned through this entire process to celebrate mini-victories, if you will.
“For example, the fact that after a few months, my right eye is able to look in the right direction and it doesn’t twitch up and down, that’s a victory. The fact that I can go throughout the day and not feel like I have to pull over or throw up because I feel nauseous, that’s a victory. And so is being back and this close to returning in the ring. So to answer your question, I am very, very happy.” Renee says that sounds like a new lease on life. So when he is able to finally get back in action, what does the next chapter look like for Adam Cole?
Cole says that’s interesting for her to say it, “Next chapter.” It feels like there are so many chapters to his story, he hasn’t really had the chance to explore things yet. But he’s sure that very, very soon, he’ll get the chance to do that. So in regards to what Cole does in AEW, he looks at the roster right now, and it has never been better. “From top to bottom, this roster is absolutely stacked. So I know, when I do come back, I need to be as prepared as humanly possible. And looking at this roster, I have a couple of ideas of who I’d love to step into the ring with.” Renee wants a sneak-peek at those ideas, but he says no, he’ll leave that just to him, and for the roster to think about.
But all Cole will say, “it’s gonna be good for All Elite Wrestling, and it’s gonna be good for Adam Cole.” Renee is so happy to see him healthy, and hopes to do more of this together finally. He hopes so, too! Cole has a little more to go on his road to recovery, but who will get the honor of “welcoming” Cole back to action?
MJF is here.
Fans are torn, but this is the “contractually obligated appearance” of the AEW World Champion, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Dynamite is picture in picture as MJF swaggers his way down the ramp, amused as he sees giving him thumbs down and booing. MJF walks up to a young lady in the front row, she gives MJF a kiss on the cheek and then MJF flips off the guy sitting with her. MJF continues to ringside, teases that he’s gonna take pictures with fans, but leaves them all hanging. MJF seems to insult fans taunting him in the front row, and even splashes one guy with his own drink! MJF walks away and does a strut as he stands up on a chair.
MJF sees the signs, “Texas hates MJF” and “MJF thinks Laredo is in the RGV,” but he just shrugs that off. MJF also slaps one fan’s drink of out their hand as Dynamite goes to break!
Dynamite returns and MJF is finally in the ring, mic in hand. Fans boo and call him names, but MJF says, “No hablo Espanol. My apologies. Bryan Danielson, these people love you, man, and you have no idea how much that pisses me off. Cuz at one point in time, these people, they used to love me, man. At one point in time not too long ago, these shmucks used to be Devil worshippers. But I know these people, Bryan. These people are disgusting, fickle little monsters. So I turned my back on them before they had the opportunity to turn their backs on me, just like everybody else. But at least I’m honest about who I am, Bryan. I’m the devil, man!”
Fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF ignores that. He says Bryan is not so honest about who he really is. “See, these people don’t love you. They love the man you portray when you walk through that curtain. Because in real-life, you’re just like all of them: a worthless sack of trash!” Fans boo but MJF says that in real-life, Bryan has taken he has been given for granted, but MJF is not here to talk about how much of a horrible human being Bryan is, though that’s not the only reason why MJF hates him. “I hate you because you have these people convinced that you’re better than me?!” Fans cheer “YES! YES! YES!” because that’s true!
MJF says that’s the farthest thing from the truth! “And let me guess, you people think Bryan Danielson’s the best in the world, don’t you?” “YES!” MJF asks, “Why’s that? In your super professional opinion, why is that? Is it because he entertains you the best? Yeah? Is it because he does the coolest maneuvers and holds? Is it because he puts on five-star bangers? Little secret, guys: that’s not why we get into this business. We get in this business for one reason only, and it is to become world champion. And last time I checked, the only way you know you’re the best in the world, is if you’re the man that’s holding the AEW World Heavyweight Championship.
“And whether you guys realize it or not, that is something Bryan Danielson has NEVER been able to accomplish. Now Bryan, I’m not an idiot. On March 5th at Revolution, for one hour, I know you’re gonna give me everything you’ve got. You’re gonna put on the performance of a lifetime for these people. You are going to use every trick out of your sleeve that you picked up in Japan, in Mexico, in the UK, in Canada. And you are going to put me through the hardest match of my life. But know this: after those 60 minutes are up, after that clock strikes zero, I WILL BE VICTORIOUS!” Fans boo as they don’t believe that.
MJF says Bryan isn’t the best wrestler int he world, MJF is! And at Revolution, MJF proves it! Bryan doesn’t have the balls to do what it takes to win! That’s because he is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and this ain’t a sing-along! SHUT YOUR MOUTHS! He’s better than you and you know it! But if you don’t wanna take MJF’s words for it, take it from a man who has known Bryan his entire career. Maybe people will listen to the man Bryan looks to as a mentor. “Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you, the Fallen Angel, Christopher Daniels!” Christopher Daniels makes his way out, but what is he doing working with MJF?
Daniels goes to the ring to join MJF and MJF tells him, “Do me a favor and tell these people the truth about Bryan Danielson inside the squared circle.” Daniels gets the mic and says, “The truth? Okay, okay, the truth. Full disclosure, Laredo, MJF paid me an obscene amount of money tonight to denigrate Bryan Danielson on national television. And Max, there was a time in my life where I would’ve happily taken this money and come out here to bury Bryan Danielson with you for hours. But that’s not the man I am today, Max, and if you want the truth, the truth is… Bryan Danielson is set to knock your dick in the dirt.”
Daniels throws the money back at MJF! Fans fire up and MJF is seething. Daniels tells MJF that he remembers that first time with Bryan in the ring. A 20-year-old Bryan Danielson hit Daniels so hard, he thought he was gonna die in that ring. And that was when Daniels knew that Bryan was going to be great! Daniels watched Bryan win the King of the Indies tournament in 2001, and that tournament directly inspired the creation of ROH as a promotion. And ROH brought REAL pro-wrestling to a fanbase that was starved for it. The same type of fans that were ecstatic when AEW opened four years ago.
Daniels says that if there wasn’t an ROH, there might not be an AEW, and there definitely wouldn’t be an MJF. MJF is getting more upset but Daniels tells him that he’s shared locker rooms with Bryan all over the world. Daniels has seen Bryan wrestler as many matches as he could handle, and Bryan was a sponge about pro-wrestling. Bryan wanted to learn everything he could, one new thing every match, and Daniels saw him do it over and over and over until he became a world champion. “Max, he knows what it takes to be a world champion. He’s on the path to becoming world champion one more time. And that’s why these people love him, and that’s why you hate him, Max.”
And not just because Bryan is going to take the one thing MJF loves more than anything else. It’s because Bryan IS what MJF wishes he could be. Bryan is the best wrestler in the world today. Not MJF! MJF is just a fraud! And Bryan will outwrestle and expose- MJF SLAPS the mic away, then he shoves Daniels! MJF says HE is the champion, that makes HIM the best! Daniels says he’s not. He’s an SOB! MJF says okay, Daniels turns to leave, but MJF turns him around! “You don’t walk away from me!” Daniels SLAPS MJF! Fans fire up and MJF cools off. To then LOW BLOW Daniels! And then clamp on the SALT OF THE EARTH FUJIWARA!!
MJF makes Daniels suffer but here comes BRYAN! Bryan runs MJF off and fans fire up again! The Fallen Angel has given the American Dragon his ringing endorsement, will the Devil of AEW suffer for all his sins?
The Gunns speak.
Austin rattles off criticisms, “The Gunns are boring, the Gunns are too green, the Gunns are just Ass Boys. The Gunns can’t go toe-to-toe with your favorite wrestlers. The Gunns can’t take down The Acclaimed, the Gunns will never win the AEW World Tag Team Championships.” Colten says that he and his brother have only been wrestling together for one year, with only ten televised matches, but sorry they “didn’t have to go to the indies and work for ten bucks and a handshake. And if you didn’t like the ending to last week, well, I have a little spoiler for you: This is real-life. Not every story has a happy ending. This isn’t your fairytale. And at Revolution, welcome to the Gunn Show.”

JB is 2-0 against the Machine, and he is rolling in 2023! Will the Tarzan Life soon be golden? Wait, it can’t be…! CHRISTIAN CAGE IS BACK!?

Fans boo and chant, “YOU SUCK!” but Christian just chuckles. And then he takes his arm out of the sling! His arm’s all better! And he uses that arm to drag JB up and wrap on a SLEEPER! “I am not done with you! You understand me? You understand me?! I am NOT done with you!” And then KILLSWITCH to the stage!!
Fans boo harder but Captain Charisma kicks dirt at JB before leaving. Will Jack Perry’s journey for gold have to take a detour through revenge?
Renee Young has big news!
It is official! The Gunns will have their first defense of the AEW World Tag Team Championships at AEW Revolution in a Triple Treat Tag! To determine those two other teams, there will be the traditional Revolution Tag Team Battle Royal. Then in two weeks, there will be the Casino Tag Battle Royal. The winners of both battle royal matches will then move on to Revolution. Renee is interrupted as Billy & The Acclaimed walk in. As much as Billy likes hearing Renee talk, The Acclaimed have something to say. Caster says, “Yeah, listen.”
Bowens says, “Big win tonight, but there’s a bigger issue at play, and that is that The Acclaimed were screwed out of the AEW Tag Team titles last week.” Caster adds, “That’s right.” “The Ass Boys had to cheat to beat us.” “That’s right!” “But the Acclaimed, we do not back down from a fight, which is why we’re here to announce that it is no longer a three-way, it’s gonna be a four way. Because we are invoking our rematch clause at Revolution!” “That’s right!”
“One team, two teams, three teams, fly ’em in from the Forbidden Door, it does not matter! You put them in front of The Acclaimed, and we will knock them right on their asses! And we’re gonna take home what is rightfully ours! BECAUSE EVERYONE! LOVES! THE ACCLAIMED!” “That’s right. Uncrowned champs, soon to be two-time champs, and that’s a mic drop.” The Acclaimed are upping the ante on the Ass Boys, but will this gamble only come back to bite them?
The Elite speak.
Well, actually, they marvel at Nick Jackson palming a basketball. But then Brandon Cutler lets them know they’re live, so Nick says this weekend, it’s the NBA All-Star Weekend, and it’s huge. Don Callis says the biggest all-stars are The Elite! Who does everyone have? Team Giannis or Team LeBron? That’s a hard choice, it’ll be super close. “Speaking of close…” AR Fox & Top Flight walk in, and Fox says he almost had Omega last week. And Top Flight did pin The Young Bucks before. So they’re thinking, for Friday, Rampage Slam Dunk, they run it back. Callis cuts Omega off and says that Fox & Flight lost, so sorry, but back of the line. The Elite’s got stuff to do. Like watch the big game!
Oh, okay, so they just like to play with balls but don’t have any of their own. OHH~! Shut up, Brandon! But Omega says fine, they wanna slander The Elite? Omega’s getting a little pissed off. He tells Callis they have this. If Fox & Flight wanna have some fun on Rampage, then they’ve got it! The Bucks agree to it, and then Matt surprises Cutler with the pass. Oh, right in the nards. But will Fox & Flight tie up the series 1-1? Or will Omega & The Bucks be looking like the champions they are and put it away in two?
Hangman Page VS Kip Sabian w/ Penelope Ford!
The Cowboy was busy watching Moxley and Mr. Superbad used that to jump him in the back! The Butcher & The Blade helped him do a number on Hangman, but Hangman is more pissed than hurt! Will Sabian be on the receiving end of some Buckshot here tonight?
The bell rings and Kip tips his hat to Hangman, only for Hangman to DECK him! Fans fire up, Kip goes to a corner, and Hangman throws his vest at him. Hangman runs in, but into a BOOT!

FALL AWAY SLAM!
Hangman kips up and fans fire up while Kip bails out to the apron. Hangman just triangle jumps but Kip runs away! Fans boo but Hangman PLANCHAS! Kip slides in, Kip fakes Hangman out, and grins while Penelope distracts Hangman. Kip baseball slide dropkicks Hangman down! Fans boo, Kip goes back to the apron, PENALTY KICK! Kip then ARABIAN PRESSES Hangman down! Fans boo but Kip pretends to put his six shooters away while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Kip drags Hangman up, puts him back in, and he stomps Hangman around. Kip drags Hangman up, HEADBUTTS him, and Hangman goes to a corner. Kip storms up but into a CHOP! Kip fires off forearms but lets off as the ref counts. Kip argues with the ref, to distract him from seeing Penelope CHOKE Hangman! The Superbad Girl slips away and Kip snapmares to a cover, ONE!! Kip sits Hangman up and into a modified KOJI KLUTCH! Hangman endures, fans rally, and Hangman pushes his way around to the ROPEBREAK! Kip thrashes, lets off, and looms over Hangman. Kip soaks up the heat while Hangman sits up.
Kip goes back to Hangman but Hangman ROCKS him! And again! Kip hits back but Hangman fires off a flurry! Hangman runs, into a victory roll DOUBLE STOMP! Cover, TWO! Kip is annoyed but he drags Hangman up. Kip throws a haymaker, then goes to the corner. Kip climbs up, but Hangman ROCKS him first! Hangman climbs up after Kip, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Kip fires body shots. Kip HEADBUTTS Hangman away, adjusts, and DIVING- NO, Hangman dodges the double stomps, to then clothesline Kip and himself out of the ring! Hangman lands on his feet! Then he drags Kip up to whip him hard into barriers!
Hangman whips Kip back the other way, into more barriers! Hangman brings Kip back around, but Penelope stands in Hangman’s way! So Hangman just whips Kip back into the barriers behind them! Fans fire up and Hangman catches his breath. Hangman drags Kip up, puts him in the ring, and Kip staggers around. Hangman POP-UP POWERBOMBS Kip! Cover, TWO! Kip survives and Penelope is relieved but Hangman keeps his focus. Hangman slashes his throat and fans fire up. Hangman drags Kip up, Alabama Lifts, but Kip kicks free! Kip torture racks, for a BURNING- NO, Hangman lands on his feet, spins Kip around and LARIATS!
Hangman Alabama Lifts, DEADEYE!! Cover, Hangman wins!
Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall
The Cowboy shoots down Mr. Superbad, but he still seems a little rattled by that ambush backstage. But here comes the Blackpool Combat Club! Moxley leads the way for Claudio and Yuta as they walk back to ringside. Moxley gets a mic and slides into the ring with Hangman while Yuta and Claudio step in. Moxley says, “Cowboy, I know you think we got unfinished business, but we don’t. A couple o’ weeks ago, your ass got pinned. And after all our battles together, I have some respect for you. But I have zero fear for you. I know you inside and out, I know what you’re gonna do before you know what you’re gonna do. I’ve got your number.
“And there is absolutely no chance in hell, I want you to believe me, there is no chance that you will ever, ever beat me again. So let it go.” Hangman takes the mic from Moxley! Hangman says, “Look, I’m not happy with our last match’s result, and I don’t think you are either. Because after all this, the two who stood above the rest, it ends in the old ball ‘n’ chain roll-up? That’s it? That’s how this ends? I don’t think that’s how this ends between you and I. I think it ends… when two men go back in that cold, dark alley, and only one gets to come out. I think this ends when there’s only one of us left standing. I think this ends… at Revolution!”
Fans like the sound of that, and Moxley gets the mic back. “I was kinda hoping you would say that. I was kinda hoping you would wanna go down this dark, dark alley with me. And I kinda hoped that you wouldn’t have anybody that cared about you, any friends that would talk you out of it and talk you into making a smart decision. The Emo Cowboy, though, he ain’t got no friends.” But then The Dark Order makes their way out! Evil Uno has a mic, and he says, “Did I hear you correctly? Jon Moxley, maybe you’ve been at the top of the mountain for too long, but did you say that he has no friends?”
Uno isn’t sure where Moxley’s been the last two years, but the Dark Order’s had Hangman’s back through and through! But Hangman is actually upset that they’re out here? He tells them that he already told them to stay out of this, but Uno tells Hangman to get out of his face. Uno says the only reason he hasn’t done this is because Hangman requested that they didn’t. “But I’ve heard you talk, and I’ve heard you talk, and I had to come and say it to your face. Dark Order ain’t afraid of you. Evil Uno is not afraid of Jon Moxley.” Then he pie faces Moxley! Fans fire up as the BCC and Dark Order get face to face but Hangman tries to get between them.
Hangman argues with Uno but fans want to see this happen! Uno and Moxley stare down, and Moxley tells Hangman, “Cowboy, Revolution, TEXAS DEATH!!” Revolution is going to the Golden State, but the Maniac wants to go Lonestar style with Hangman! Who will survive this final showdown?
Backstage interview with The Jericho Appreciation Society.
Tony Schiavone is with Chris Jericho, Daniel Garcia, Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker, and notes that the problem between Hangman and Moxley has escalated. Jericho starts by saying, “You wanna talk about problems? Ricky Starks, you seem to have a problem with Chris Jericho. You keep demanding another match with The Ocho, not gonna happen. You got lucky, I can beat you any time, any place, anywhere, but y’know what, Tony? I’m not gonna do it. Because you are not at my level. No matches!” Garcia tells Starks that he’s not having a match with Jericho, but this Friday, he has a match with Garcia.
“And Ricky, I’m just so sick of hearing you complain all the time, talking about how it’s your time. It’s not, it’s the Jericho Appreciation Society’s time. But you are right about one thing, Ricky. You are absolute.” “-ly annoying!” Parker adds. And Menard adds, “Absolutely the losing one!” Hager adds, “Absolutely, I like this hat!” Garcia gets things back on track by telling Ricky to listen to him. “Last Wednesday, I beat you. This Friday, I’m not just gonna beat you, I’m gonna expose to everybody that believes in you, that you are nothing more than an absolute fraud.” The JAS has all said their piece, will the Dragonslayer beat down Ricky Starks?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage Slam Dunk!
On top of Garcia VS Starks going 1v1, and on top of Dustin Rhodes getting a grudge match with Swerve Strickland, it is official! AR Fox & Top Flight get their AEW World Trios Championship rematch! Will The Elite end up in a trap game and lose the gold before Revolution? And on top of that, the AEW TBS Championship is on the line as Jade Cargill’s Open Challenge has been answered by Vertvixen! Will the undefeated streak end at 51? Or will Vert pull off the upset of the century?
Backstage interview with The Firm.
AEW returns as Tony Schiavone is now with Stokely Hathaway, Isiah Kassidy, Ethan Page & Matt Hardy. Stokely is dressed in all black with shades and a beret, but Tony asks why. Stokely says it’s because he wants justice! What we saw last week was Hook breaking Stokely’s arm! “How come that piece of garbage gets to walk around here and do whatever he wants to do?” Stokely wants Hook suspended, and even FIRED! Does Tony know how Stokely spent his weekend? In conference calls with Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and Angela Davis. So hopefully, by the end of tonight, AEW management has good news for Stokely.
“LOOK AT ME, TONY!” Stokely holds up his arm in its cast. “I’MA FREAK OF NATURE!” Ethan says Stokely deserves justice, and he’s waiting on that verdict with him, but where was Stokely last week? Hardy threw a huge bash for The Firm! They had a party without Stokely? Were there ladies there? Yes! Isiah confirms, and then he moans. Stokely gets mad! “What’d I tell you about that?!” Tony hears from management that Hook has been suspended, pending an investigation. HAH! Ethan and Stokely high-five, but that’s with the bad hand! Stokely and Ethan want Tony to show some sympathy, but will Hook have none of that when he gets reinstated?
Triple Threat: Ruby Soho VS Toni Storm w/ Saraya VS Britt Baker w/ Jamie Hayter!
This match was meant to happen weeks ago, but now it happens at a critical moment in the war within the AEW Women’s Division! The Runaway finds herself torn between the friends from her past, and the rivals she’s made in her new home. Which side will Ruby choose? Which side will win out in the end?
Speaking of sides, a fan’s Britt Baker DMD sign gets on Saraya’s bad side. Storm takes the sign to rip it up, but then Saraya drags the fan over the railing! Saraya and Storm mug the fan, and have the spray paint ready! But Ruby makes her entrance and that gets Storm & Saraya to let off. Ruby checks on the fan and she’s okay, but now here comes The Doctor, accompanied by the AEW Women’s World Champion. The bell rings and Britt fires off on Storm! Storm shoves her back, Britt dodges the haymaker and waistlocks. Britt spins Storm but Storm dodges the clothesline, and Ruby ROCKS Britt!
Storm chicken wings Britt and tells Ruby to go after her! Ruby instead shoots around to roll Storm up! TWO, Britt SUPERKICKS Storm! Britt tells Ruby to help her, but Ruby rolls Britt! TWO! Britt kicks low, throws forearms, and whips. Ruby ducks ‘n’ whips but Britt hits a NECKBREAKER DROP! Cover, TWO! Fans rally and duel, Britt runs but Storm trips her and drags her out! Storm DECKS Britt, hurries into the ring, and she says Ruby has to choose the right side. Ruby headlocks but Storm powers out. Ruby runs Storm over and fans fire up! Things speed up, Ruby sidesteps but Storm arm-drags!
Storm kicks but Ruby blocks to kick, but Storm blocks! Storm throws the foot down, dodges Ruby’s haymaker, and HIP ATTACKS Britt off the apron! But Ruby reels Storm in for a SAIDO! Storm bails out, Saraya is there, and Hayter checks on Britt. Ruby dares someone to get in and fans fire up behind her. Storm slips in but then scurries away, and Britt runs in. Britt ripcords and ROLLING ELBOWS! Ruby falls and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Britt spells it out, but Storm throws her down by her hair! Storm snarls and spells it out, “Lo-who-sers!” Storm then BOOTS Britt down! Britt is in a corner, Storm digs her knee in, but lets off to talk trash to Hayter. Storm then snap suplexes Britt, covers, TWO! Storm is annoyed but Britt is tougher than that. Storm stomps Britt, drags her up and CHOPS her! Britt goes to ropes, Storm stalks up behind her and fires forearms! Storm trips Britt, has the legs, but Britt kicks her away. Ruby SOBATS, front kicks and ENZIGURIS! Britt fires forearms on Ruby, whips her to a corner, but Ruby goes up and catches Britt for DEADLY NIGHTSHADE!
Storm YANKS Ruby right off Britt to stomp her down! Storm sits Ruby up to CHOP! Ruby eggs her on! Fans fire up and Storm BOOTS Ruby down! But Ruby gets up to egg her on! Storm SLAPS Ruby, BOOTS her down, then drags her back up. Fans rally but Storm HEADBUTTS Ruby! Ruby staggers to ropes, but Storm is on her with uppercuts! Storm then runs to BOOT Britt in the corner! Storm digs her boot in, lets off on Britt and storms up to Ruby. Ruby kicks Storm, but Storm CHOPS Ruby! Dynamite returns to single picture as Saraya cheers Storm on. Storm CLUBS Ruby, whips her in at Britt, but Britt hits a BUCKLE SHOT!
Storm runs in but Britt dodges and runs to CLOBBER her! Fans fire up as Britt rallies and whips. Storm reverses but Britt SLINGBLADES! Britt stands Storm up, underhooks, but Storm stomps a foot! Ruby runs in, is sent at Storm, Britt hits a NECKBREAKER on Storm that makes her DDT Ruby! Cover on Storm, TWO! Saraya is relieved but Britt spells it out, “D! M! D!” Britt runs but Saraya anchors her! Storm then GERMAN SUPLEXES Britt down! Ruby KNEES Storm! Britt SUPERKICKS Ruby! Storm SHOTGUNS Britt! Britt is in a corner, Storm says kiss this! But Ruby runs in to catch Storm, STO!
Britt runs in, spins Ruby around, BUTTERFLY SLAM! Cover, Storm SUPERKICKS it apart! All three women are down and fans fire up! Hayter coaches Britt, Saraya coaches Storm, but fans duel between Britt and Ruby! Britt flounders to ropes, Ruby crawls to a corner, and Storm stands up first. Storm runs in at ruby but into an elbow! Ruby goes up, but Storm blocks Deadly Nightshade to a waistlock! Britt runs in, she rolls up Storm and causes her to GERMAN SUPLEX Ruby away!

Saraya stands Britt up, LIGHTNING SPIRAL! And then she gets the spray paint! Storm goes to the corner and sticks her hips out so that Saraya can spray paint a big L on it! Britt TAKES THE L!! Storm drags Britt up, reels her in, but Ruby THROWS Storm out onto Saraya! Roll up on Britt, Ruby wins!!
Winner: Ruby Soho, by pinfall
Ruby chose a side: HERS! And she wins out all on her own! But then Saraya gets in to SLAP Ruby! Saraya says Ruby ruined it! Ruby should be on THEIR side! Hayter gets in the ring to say no, Ruby should be on THEIR side! But Ruby shouts at them, “ENOUGH!!” Ruby just looks at the title instead. Hayter says okay, she’s up for that. The battlelines have been drawn, and the destination IS known, because it is the AEW Women’s World Championship. Will the Runaway win her way to a title fight at Revolution?
My Thoughts:
Great stuff for AEW, though I think they’re getting a bit talky again. MJF is a great talker, but his promo segments always take time to build. I do like that he brought out Christopher Daniels, and that Daniels literally threw MJF’s bribe in his face. Naturally, MJF beats up Daniels to get Heel heat, and Bryan shows up to scare MJF off and get some Face momentum. The Ironman match will still be awesome, but there has to be something “cheap and dastardly” that MJF does to win. He could easily give Bryan a point or two with blatant cheating, but it’ll be something that hurts Bryan enough that MJF gets easy points to balance it out.
Good promo from the JAS where it was clear the JAS was struggling to be the sports entertainer trash talkers in this feud. Garcia VS Starks 1v1 is going to be great stuff on Rampage, but I would think Starks wins there and goads Jericho into their rematch for Revolution. Great little bit with The Elite and Fox & Flight. I didn’t think we’d get a rematch there, but it does help keep The Elite fresh before Revolution. No idea who faces The Elite for Revolution, maybe there will be a big surprise like a NJPW or AAA team to give us a simply amazing and exciting match. Either way, I think The Elite retain through Revolution.
Great and hilarious 8 Man Tag, and while of course Austin & Colten do their best to distract Billy & The Acclaimed, I like that it didn’t cost the Face team anything. They win, we’re getting a huge AEW World Tag Team Championship match, and while The Acclaimed is great, I feel like it’d be too easy for them to get these belts back in that situation. This could be the opportunity to get another team into the tag title story and really shake things up. Honestly, I wonder if FTR is going to use this opportunity to return and get revenge on The Ass Boys while also getting the AEW titles back.
Really good full interview from Adam Cole, though it didn’t really add much from the preview last Friday. He’s still making good recovery progress, he still hasn’t said who he’s facing for the implied return match at Revolution, but it’ll still be great to see him get back in action. Wardlow’s interview promo was also really good. We got to learn a bit about his past, and why his top knot was so important to him. Wardlow VS Samoa Joe is going to be great stuff, and we can only hope this time, AEW handles Wardlow as TNT Champion better than the first time. Fans were really fired up for Wardlow before the WARJOE stuff, they can get fired up for him again now.
Awesome Texas Tornado Tag from BCC and LFI, of course Moxley bleeds but Vance also bleeding fit the story within this story of Vance’s previous battles with Moxley. I also hope they do something more with Rush and Claudio in regards to the ROH World title as ROH weekly TV is on its way back and their next PPV is March 31st (right before WrestleMania Weekend). And great tying Hangman into things, he gets jumped by Kip but then beats Kip in the match to get even. Hangman and Moxley had a really good promo to set up a Texas Deathmatch for Revolution, which is basically the Unsanctioned match idea I had but it’ll count. Dark Order stepping up despite Hangman not wanting them was an interesting detail, Dark Order VS BCC could make for some interesting stuff, too.
Really good stuff from Jungle Boy VS Brian Cage, and JB gets a great win. Christian Cage returning was quite the surprise, but we’re finally getting an end to that story since it was paused by Christian’s real injury. That match can happen at Revolution, and JB can win to then finally get at a singles title. Also, hilarious promo from The Firm where Stokely is most certainly playing up what happened to his arm just to get back at Hook since no on in The Firm can beat him. I would think we end up seeing Hook defending the FTW Championship against someone in The Firm. Maybe Matt Hardy, since The Firm likes making him do the grunt work. Plus, Hardy can test Hook in his match storytelling ability, something Hook still needs to really show us.
Great match from Mark Briscoe against Josh Woods, but what a surprise to see The Lucha Brothers go after Daivari & Nese. Also, why is Daivari hanging out with Nese & Woods more than his own faction, The Trustbusters? Either way, Lucha Bros will definitely rebuild their Tag Division rankings using Nese & Daivari, or even Nese & Woods, and could even get in on Revolution’s tag title Fatal 4 Way. Briscoe gets a great win off Woods, and he will definitely help lead ROH’s return to TV. But the obvious issue is: how to handle the ROH World Tag titles? That itself could be a major story going on as ROH TV gets going again and they build to Supercard of Honor.
And great stuff from the main event. The women main eventing was a nice move from AEW, though I am a little perplexed as to why Ruby didn’t have Willow Nightingale when Britt had Hayter and Storm had Saraya. At the same time, Ruby got a great win doing it all on her own, and while she’s still stuck in the middle of AEW OG VS “The Outsiders,” Ruby wanting the title is a nice detail, too. Revolution could also end up a Triple Threat where Hayter and Ruby have to worry about Saraya or Storm. But I’m still hoping for that Women’s Blood & Guts match, it just feels right for this AEW Women’s Division Civil War story they’re giving us.
My Score: 8.9/10

Everything you’ve worked for for the last five years in AEW, I’m gonna give you a chance right now. Hey ref, you work for me, get your ass in the ring. We’re going to put the Trios Championships on the line again, right now! Ring the bell!” The fans boo but apparently Moxley has the power to do this.

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but also Beast Mortos. They wanted to talk with him, but are mostly feeding him fried chicken… Roddy says, “BEEEAST! Thanks for joining us.” Bennett gives Mortos more meat to eat, and Roddy says they really need to talk. What is going on with Mortos? Something seems off. Mortos growls but Bennett says no, he’s just confused. Mortos taking out Hologram like that? Not cool. Taven can’t believe LFI got Mortos to wear a polo shirt! Mortos never even wore a shirt when hanging out with The Kingdom. Not cool! And what is Mortos doing fisting (with) two other dudes? Really not cool.
But the most disappointing thing of all, is that this is all happening without The Kingdom! Roddy says they’re not mad, just disappointed. The Kingdom leaves but did Mortos even care what they said while chowing down on meat? If they keep trying to get Mortos back, will LFI make The Kingdom one of their targets?
AEW Women’s World Championship Title Eliminator: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
While there were some legitimate complaints made by the AEW Women’s World Champion, she doesn’t really help herself when she looks down on the rest of the roster. Will The Glamour continue to grow her ego here tonight? Or will Anna prove she’s the real Star of the Show?

Mariah is speechless! She thought Anna was unworthy, and yet that arrogance is why Anna won! And Tony Khan calls in to say we don’t have to wait long! Two weeks from now, Collision in Philadelphia, Mariah May VS Anna Jay, with the title on the line! Will Mariah avenge herself in the rematch? Or will there truly be a new Star of the Show?
My Thoughts:
A great Battle of the Belts, especially with the events of Collision spilling over. BCC beating down Top Flight, fighting Dark Order, and then having another match was all great stuff to really get heat on them. And speaking of the Collision crossover, great bit with Garcia & Private Party rushing out there, and then Cassidy eventually going out there once BCC was on the retreat. As we saw for Collision, the other Faces are expecting Cassidy to step up but he is reluctant to, given his history with the various members of BCC. At some point, The Conglomeration members might also think Cassidy should step up, and he’ll be compelled to fight.
Speaking of Conglomeration, great match from Okada VS O’Reilly, and I do appreciate them pushing this close to the time limit. Great win for Okada, and his card is wide open now, ready to face just about anyone. LFI had a very good promo to follow up what they did on Collision, but also to show Hologram is not out of the woods with them. Hologram might even be the third man alongside FTR to fight the full LFI. Mortos and Undisputed Kingdom also had a great promo together, very funny stuff. That’s also a Six Man Tag we could see, and just about any trio could come out of this to challenge BCC next.
Really good first showing for the #MurderMachines, Archer & Cage, but that combo Blackout Powerbomb needs some work to smooth out the wrinkles. I feel like they’ll be stepping to Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara for the ROH World Tag Team Championships first, given The Bucks are Heels. And great main event from Mariah VS Anna. I am very pleased to see they had Anna win here. It works for Mariah’s character as her arrogance cost her, and now we’ll get an even better title match in a couple weeks. I don’t see Anna winning that one, though, because again, we need to see Mina Shirakawa work her way to the title so she and Mariah can fight it out.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Regarding the AEW World Championship, nothing has changed. Nothing is different. Nothing changed last Saturday night, nothing has changed since the moment I arrived in AEW. Nobody ‘owns’ that belt, it doesn’t belong to anybody. It’s not for Bryan Danielson or anybody else. It’s for the position that only man has sat in that chair. That is me. Somebody spent a lot of money on that belt and it’s really supposed to mean something. It’s just gold and leather, but when I look at it, it is the symbol of everything I hate in this sport. It’s the symbol of everything I’ve been fighting against for years. Everything that AEW was not supposed to be.
“If nobody else is going to say it, I’ll say it. Nothing comes for free in this world. But tonight, we give this Top Flight a gift. A shot at the World Trios Championships, won’t that be so great? They think they’re gonna hit a button, ride up an elevator to the top of this sport, that’s not how this works. There is no elevator. You are standing at the foot of a mountain, and the mountain looks like this.” Moxley points to Pac, Claudio and Yuta in turn. “We will win this war, cuz our cause is just, and our power is pure, and our enemies are weak in spirit. It’s a big night for you, Top Flight, but it is not your coronation. Tonight is a public execution.”
The Maniac paces, and the warning has been issued. Will Action, Darius & Dante still go through with the match?
Ricochet VS AR Fox!

That match was definitely #OuttaThisWorld, and Ricochet comes out on top! Ricochet grabs a mic to say, “Stockton, what’s good?” Ricochet wants to say that he is here in AEW because this is where the BESTÂ WRESTLE! The fans cheer that! Ricochet says he has yet to be pinned or submitted in this ring. And that’s funny, because there’s someone who keeps putting their nose in his business. The fans should know who. Konosuke Takeshita, it doesn’t matter where you go. You may be champion, but you can go to Canada, Mexico, Japan, or somewhere in the US. Wherever Takeshita goes, Ricochet will be waiting to kick his ass!
Ricochet says it doesn’t matter who has his back, from Don Callis to Kyle Fletcher, because Ricochet will knock down opponent after opponent until he gets Takeshita 1v1 in this ring to become the NEW International Champion! The fans rally behind Ricochet, and Ricochet knows they know. They know that Ricochet isn’t from this planet, he is Outta This World! The fans fire up, but when and where will The One & Only take on The Alpha?
Daniel Garcia & Private Party speak.
Red Death says Moxley and his crew wanna come in and take over AEW. Then they’ve got The Young Bucks & Jack Perry just sitting back, letting it happen. They act like it’s all okay. It’s not. And the thing is, The Elite isn’t willing to handle the responsibility it takes to truly handle those championships. But good news! He and Private Party will relieve them of their duties. Garcia says Zay to talk to ’em. Kassidy says the word isn’t complicit, it is complacent. The Bucks have become complacent cowards! Private Party will not sit back and watch BCC take over AEW. AEW changed Kassidy’s life!
Zay would rather die fighting than watch AEW go down in flames. And if Private Party has to lead by example by beating The Elite’s asses and become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, then so be it! Marq Quen says there you have it. He can’t paint a better picture. And before they beat The Elite’s asses on Dynamite, there’s business to handle tonight. Stockton, the mission continues, let’s get it! Garcia, Quen & Zay are ready, but will the Premier Athletes stand in their way?
Kris Statlander VS Harley Cameron!
The Galaxy’s Greatest is now #BornAgainKristen, and she wants to return to what made her great in the first place. But will she keep her comeback going? Or will this wacky Aussie show one of her many talents is winning?
The bell rings, Kris and Harley circle, and then they step up. Harley calls for a knuckle lock, Kris accepts, and then Harley pokes Kris in the eyes! But Kris denies Sole Food!

DEADLIFT GERMAN! Harley flounders, Kris runs in at the corner, UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side, KNEE! Kris reels Harley in, FISHERMAN DRIVER!! But then Kris lines up another shot, DISCUS LARIAT! That’s not the end, she scoops and tucks Harley, STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Kris wins but she’s not done as she grabs the mic. “One thing about me is that I am never afraid to test myself and prove that I am THE toughest and THE strongest here in AEW.” The fans cheer that! Kris says one person has been a real pain in the ass. So Kamille, Kris is calling you out! Time Kamille finally met her match! And as for Mercedes Mone, Kris will make sure you have a front row seat. The Galaxy’s Greatest wants to take on The Brickhouse, but will she make it through that obstacle to then get at The CEO’s TBS Championship?
Six Man Tag: Daniel Garcia & Private Party VS The Premier Athletes!
We just heard from Red Death and friends and they are in a fighting mood. But of course we have to hear from “Smart” Mark Sterling… “Folks, the Premier Athletes have decided to take care of these three punk kids for all the disrespect that they’ve been showing our great EVPs, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson. And of course we’re doing this for an opportunity at what I do best, and that’s climb the corporate ladder!” Now the people here in Stockton are surely just smart enough to play along. When he says, “Athletes!” you say, “Rule!” Nothing else! Hands in. Ohhh~…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling isn’t that smart is he?

The fans boo, Quen & Garcia protest, but the ref has to stop them from getting at Nese. Nese taunts them while Collision goes picture in picture.

Jake “The Snake” Roberts speaks.
“What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. When Jake Roberts tells you something, you know you can take it to heart. Trust me when It ell you, you cannot outrun the bull. Outrunners, you can run but you cannot hide. Rules and bones were meant to be broken. That’s the reason they made them. Trust me. We’re just here to tear the hell outta everything. That’s what you gotta think about when you step into the ring with us.” When you mess with the bull, you get the horns, so will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd be gored through by La Faccion Ingobernable?
Orange Cassidy VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
Mark Briscoe is facing Chris Jericho in a Ladder War on Dynamite, and Kyle O’Reilly is facing Kazuchika Okada later tonight on Battle of the Belts. Will Freshly Squeezed earn himself a golden opportunity? Wait, Jacked Jameson tells all the “fat morons and skinny idiots” to shut up. He is the Shredded Savage, and these monsters are Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder! But hold up. What he sees in the ring is a member of The Conglomeration, a team featured on every show this company has. Meanwhile, Iron Savages must have been renamed The Melatonin Savages, because they keep getting slept on!
So tonight, the flavor of the Savage Sauce is going to be Orange Crush, because Bronson is gonna crush Orange! They are sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the Low T meat-riders to #TIDDYCITY! Cassidy just sighs, and Jameson keeps talking trash that Bronson’s gonna kill ’em! The bell does ring, Cassidy dodges Bronson, and hits an ORANGE PUNCH on Jameson!

All that trash talk and what’d it get Jameson? Bronson got beat like he wasn’t even there! Cassidy has win number 175, if you can believe it. Will he finally make it to that world championship level before he hits 200?
Jamie Hayter VS Brooke Havok!
An Open Challenge was put out last night on Rampage, though it was directed mostly at Mrs. Superbad, Penelope Ford. Surprise, surprise, Penelope chose not to answer it. Instead, Brooke is looking to wreak havoc in Stockton, will she bring down a former AEW Women’s World Champion? Or will she learn that Hayter Hits Hard?
The bell rings, the fans rally up, and the two fist bump to show there’s respect. they tie up, Hayter waistlocks and SLAMS Havok. Havok fights up, fires elbows, then runs, but gets run over!

Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
It was probably over with that Haytbreaker on overdrive, but Hayter punctuates the victory. Wait, Penelope is on the tron. “Oh, hey, Jamie, are you really confused why I attacked you? I’ll tell you why. Because unlike you, most of us have to work for our opportunities. Do you even know who my partner was in my last TV match? You! And you wanna talk about backstabbing b*tches? Well you’re the backstabbing b*tch! I was out for two years, do you know what that does to someone’s mind? And not once did you even check in on me. Meanwhile, you were gone for a year and you come back to a damn parade at Wembley Stadium.”
Penelope says too many have forgotten who she is, especially Hayter. But Penelope is back, and she’ll make sure what two years of pain and anger really looks like. Penelope is here to take everting that Hayter cares about. And she won’t let anyone forget who Penelope Ford is again. Hayter says okay, fine! But will Hayter make sure Penelope regrets calling her out?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Private Party.
Lexy Nair is with the winning side tonight and says that was a phenomenal win. Say that again, say that again! What a PHENOMENAL win! Yes, that’s good! Wait, Cassidy steps in. Garcia says he’s been hoping to talk with him. Cassidy sees what it is like out there, yeah? It isn’t about being a hero, it isn’t about being tough guys. It is about holding each other accountable. They are coming to Cassidy because he’s been there before, he beat all these guys before, and it’s time to step up. Cassidy says yeah, he’s been there before. And every time he steps into the ring with one of those guys, it changes him.
Cassidy says he is no leader. He’s just not that guy. Freshly Squeezed heads out, Garcia is disappointed. But will things change when push comes to shove?
Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Atlantis Jr!
The last time these two met, it was June of this year when The Protostar defended the ROH World Television Championship against the CMLL second generation star.

Or will history repeat itself from the CMLL anniversary show?

Sammy Guevara speaks.
“I’ve been here for the past five years. I take a lot of pride in being called an AEW Original. Because of this place, my life changed for the better. So the best way I know how to repay AEW is to make sure every single time I get in that ring, I give you a moment you’ve never seen before. For me, it’s always the same. But the way I get there needs to be different. The way I realize my destiny is by going against the best. And one of the best just had a hell of a debut on Dynamite. He’s a man I watched since I was a kid, so I went to Tony Khan personally and I asked for this match.
This Wednesday, for the first-time ever, live on Dynamite, it’ll be Sammy Guevara VS Shelton Benjamin! Get ready for another moment.” The Spanish God is on his way back, but will he be ready for the Standard of Excellence?
AEW World Trios Championships: Blackpool Combat Club VS Top Flight!
This main event is going to be a Collision for sure! Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac did their best to beat a lot of different teams into submission on Wednesday, but it only stoked the flames of rebellion.

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really runs things around here!
The trios sort out and Pac starts against Action. They circle, feel things out, then tie up. Pac waistlocks and SLAMS Action, then floats to a facelock.

Top Flight just got grounded after BCC railroaded them there! But now they keep on the beating! The fans boo but here comes Moxley! The Maniac himself is here, accompanied by Marina Shafir.

Marina TOSSES Leila up, and Collision ends with more mayhem! Who will ever stop the reign of terror that Moxley has started?
My Thoughts:
A really good Collision, with the only real filler being The House of Black winning their squash match. Great match from Ricochet VS Fox with a great win from Ricochet, and a pretty good promo for him to call out Takeshita. If they want to sell what he said, Ricochet should go to the same other promotions Takeshita visits. Like if Takeshita goes back home to Japan and DDT Pro, have Ricochet go after him after a match. And as far as having a match, this should culminate at Full Gear to really stretch out Takeshita trying to avoid Ricochet until he just can’t. Kyle VS Atlantis was also a great match, and great win for Kyle. Kyle saying he’ll tell all on Wednesday is of course going to set up Kyle VS Ospreay, perhaps also for Full Gear.
Very good match from Kris VS Harley, which Kris of course wins. Kris calling out Kamille is great, and a little annoyed they’re making us wait for Fright Night when Kris VS Kamille could just happen next week to give us Kris VS Mone at Fright Night instead. But whatever, this is the usual Tony Khan Women’s Division pacing, because surely Kris VS Mone is what he wants for Full Gear. That does make sense, because for one, Mone as a character would want the big money moment on a PPV, not on TV. And regardless of where/when it happens, it is hard to say that even Face Statlander beats Mone for the TBS Championship.
Harley also had a good moment with Thunder Rosa. Rosa knocking Harley on her ass was great, and Rosa VS Harley will be fun stuff. It can definitely help Rosa get back up and into title conversations, and she should be going for Mone and the TBS title because chasing that history of “first woman to hold both AEW belts” is some good stuff. Meanwhile, Hayter demolished Havok, and she’ll have really good stuff with Penelope Ford, and on a personal level, I do feel for Penelope missing two YEARS of action. Penelope probably wins a match from cheating, but then loses to Hayter in the rematch so that Hayter can go back for a championship.
Great match from LFI VS Outrunners, but the cheating spots LFI pulled off were a bit clunky. LFI of course wins to spark more interaction with FTR, and LFI VS FTR will be great stuff whenever they do it. And then great stuff in this larger story of “Who runs AEW?” Garcia & Private Party had a great promo to call out The Elite, they had a really good match with The Premier Athletes and therefore a really good win over them. Cassidy squashing Bronson while also knocking down Jameson was good stuff. Then Garcia asking Cassidy to take a stand against BCC was good stuff. Cassidy has good reason for wanting to avoid BCC, but Cassidy’s role in this story is now making that random promo with Jerry Lynn work out.
And then speaking of the BCC, very good promo from Moxley to open, and great main event with Top Flight. BCC of course won, but the beatdown that bleeds over into Battle of the Belts is actually pretty good stuff. BCC are just agents of violence and chaos, and they booked the third hour, so might as well segue from one show right into the next.
My Score: 8.8/10
