Backstage interview with Hangman Page and Evil Uno.
Renee Paquette is with the Cowboy and the de facto Dark Order leader, wanting to talk about the situation last week creating tonight’s main event match, Evil Uno VS Jon Moxley. How has Uno been preparing? Uno says, “Well how exactly do you prepare for the most violent-” Hangman cuts off that rhetorical question by saying, “You don’t! I’ve asked you guys to stay out of this a thousand times, and I get it.” But before Hangman can explain things, Uno says, “Y’know what? I’ve heard you talk so many times, Hangman, and you’ve requested so many times for us not to get involved. But every time you say that, you know what I hear? ‘Dark Order is not on your level.’
“So, I have a request for you. No matter what happens in that match, from bell to bell, I do not want you to get involved. And if you were Dark Order, you would understand that. It’s time for us to stand up for ourselves. So Jon Moxley, tonight, you get to find out exactly why my name is Evil Uno.” Renee wishes him the best of luck and sends things back to the ring. Will Uno be the one that denies Moxley his 100th win tonight?
Ricky Starks is here!
Phoenix fires up as The Absolute strikes his pose, then heads to the ring. He clearly has a contract in his coat pocket, so clearly he has some business to take care of. We’ll hear from “Stroke Daddy,” after the break.
AEW returns and Starks has the mic. Fans chant for “RICKY! RICKY!” and he says he could let them keep chanting, but they’d get mad at him for going over time. But it ain’t no secret these past few months, he’s dealt with interference from the JAS. Baseball bats, people dressed up in masks, and being put through a table. “The message seems pretty clear to me, Chris. You do not wanna have a rematch against moi. And I accept that. I accept that the rematch won’t happen, so I will be moving on from Chris Jericho. But, what I have right here is an open challenge. An open contract for a match against me at Revolution.
“And as my theme song says, the revolution will be televised, so I’ll be damned if I’m left off of this PPV. So I know that there’s somebody that is back there that is itching to get on this card. And hey, I welcome you to come out here, and let’s do the damn thing, y’know what I’m saying?” But then JERICHO appears! Starks sighs but Jericho has a mic of his own. Fans sing Judas for Jericho while the pyro goes off, and then Jericho says, “Now, Ricky Starks, I know what you’re trying to do here right now. You’re trying to bait me into having another match with you.
“But let me say this. You say you’re over and done with Chris Jericho. You’re not over and done until I say so. Let me tell you this, count your blessings, Starks. You beat Chris Jericho, congratulations. It was the highlight of your career, take it and put it in a box, and put it by your nightstand and look at it every night before you go to sweep. Because it’s never gonna happen again! Starks, I could beat you any time, any place, anywhere, but it’s never gonna happen because you are not at my level.” Fans boo and Starks chuckles. Jericho wishes Starks luck with the Open Challenge. And here comes The Wingmen’s “Pretty” Peter Avalon!
Avalon says this is his chance to hit it big, but then Jericho hits a JUDAS EFFECT! And his jacket’s covered in spikes!! Jericho storms down to the ring but fans chant, “We Want Peter!” Jericho tells them to shut up! “See what happens when you want an open challenge? Everyone’s gonna walk out here. You want Jericho so bad, you can’t have Revolution without Jericho, without the Demo God. Maybe IÂ should take that little contract of yours, Starks! Have a rematch with you and embarrass your stupid ass!” Fans boo but Starks says yeah, Jericho can sign it. But we all know he’ll bring the JAS out here, they’ll jump Starks, beat him up, and that’s all good.
But Starks asks Jericho this: “As THE Chris Jericho, the first AEW World Champion, the guy who beat two legends in one night, you did that all by yourself, right? I don’t understand why you keep needing the JAS. But unless you really think that you probably can’t beat me… I Just think you have it in you to get the job done by yourself, that’s all I’m saying.” Jericho says Starks doesn’t think Jericho can win 1v1? Nope. Actually, Jericho can. Starks genuinely believes Jericho can. Jericho snatches the contract, looks at it, and fans chant “SIGN IT!”
Jericho says damn right he can win! And he can do it 1v1, he’s the Great Chris Jericho! Le Champion! One of the best ever! Of course Jericho can beat little Starks 1v1. He’ll sign it and add an addendum that the JAS stays in the back at Revolution! He’ll do that right here and now! “Except, uh, I don’t have a pen.” Jericho smirks, and Starks says, “Damn. But I do.” Fans fire up and Jericho reluctantly takes the contract. And he clicks it! Jericho signs his part, writes the addendum himself, and if Starks wants it, he’s got it! Jericho VS Starks at Revolution! “Be careful what you wish for, Ricky. Because remember this: nobody outsmarts The Ocho.”
Jericho walks away all smug, but Starks smiles and winks at the camera. Will this be an absolute classic?
The many AEW tag teams speak.
Matthew Menard says in Phoenix, Arizona, the Tag Team Revolution Battle Royal is on Dynamite! The Blade says, “Ready! Aim! FIRE!” Sonjay Dutt says “we,” meaning Jarrett & Lethal, are going to win that Battle Royal! He will even get in the ring if he has to! Top Flight are ready to make good on a promise they’ve had since the beginning. They’ve been on fire since the Three Kings Christmas, and they’re challenging everyone to step up or take flight. Alex Abrahantes says those AEW World Tag Team Championships belong to “us,” meaning Penta El Zero Miedo & Rey Fenix.
But who has the most tag team wins in 2023? Alex Reynolds & John Silver do! And who will win this battle royal? They will! But Mark Sterling says the icing on the cake is that HIS guys, Tony Nese & Ari Daivari, are going to win the titles. Best Friends are fired up, mad, and guarantee nothing but a win! Who takes the first golden ticket to join The Gunns and The Acclaimed at Revolution? Speaking of…
The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn VS Lee Moriarty & “Big Bill” Morrissey w/ Stokely Hathaway!
Max Caster & Anthony Bowens got ROBBED by Austin & Colten in El Paso, but they’re more than ready to get some payback! However, they’re up against #TAIGASTYLE and the human skyscraper, who are good friends and business partners of the Gunns. Will The Firm take care of business and take out one contender before Revolution even gets here?
As always, Platinum Max has a diss track on deck! “The Acclaimed came, got the crowd poppin’ harder. We gonna run you outta town like you Robert Sarver! Lee Moriarty is Taiga Style. It’s kinda funny, cuz your mom likes it doggy style! Stokely, we’ll bump you outta Phoenix. You gotta cast cuz you’re always touching your penis! Yo Bill, your girl just text me. She says that your ass is S-A-W-F-T!” Bowens says, “PHOENIX ARIZOOONA~! The Acclaimed have arrived! SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS~!” And they do! Caster shot hard on all three men in the other corner, will he and Bowens bring more heat in the match?
The teams sort out, Caster starts against Moriarty and fans sing, “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy~!” Moriarty dares Caster to bring it, they tie up, and Caster headlocks. Moriarty powers up and out but Caster runs him over. Things speed up, Moriarty hurdles but Caster arm-drags! Fans cheer as Caster swivels hips. Moriarty fights up, Moriarty wrenches, and whips. Bill knees Caster! Bowens protests but Moriarty BOOTS him down! Moriarty drags Caster up while fans chant “SCISSORZONA!” Moriarty CLUBS Caster and tells fans to hush. Fans boo instead as he air guitars. Moriarty whips, Bowens tags in and Caster sunset flips!
Bowens runs in with Caster’s knees up, NECKBREAKER BACKBREAKER COMBO! Cover, TWO! Bowens keeps on Moriarty while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Tag to Caster and Bowens scoop SLAMS Moriarty! Caster CLUBS Bill, then he holds Moriarty open! Bowens goes up, but Bill runs in to SHOVE Bowens down! No timbers here! Bill HOTSHOTS Caster, too, and Moriarty LARIATS! Caster sputters but Moriarty is on him. Moriarty UPPERCUTS Caster to a corner, bumps him off buckles, and he tags in Big Bill. The Firm mugs Caster, then Morrissey shows off his hips. Morrisey CLUBS Caster to a corner, throws big body shots, and he stays close as Caster staggers. Bill bumps Caster off buckles, tags Moriarty back in, and they mug Caster more. Moriarty ROCKS Caster, then stands on his leg as he crawls.
Moriarty stands Caster up but Cater throws body shots. Moriarty knees low but Caster kicks back. Moriarty UPPERCUTS, then CHOKES Caster on the ropes! The ref counts, Moriarty lets off, tag to Bill. The mugging continues, Bill mocks the scissor fingers, and he ROCKS Caster with haymakers! Caster staggers to the Firm’s corner, but here come the Gunns. They wave hi to the Acclaimed while Bill keeps beating Caster down. Dynamite returns to single picture as the fans boo the Ass Boys. But Bill scoops and SLAMS Caster, then mocks the scissor fingers again. Bill runs, but Caster avoids the elbow drop!
Fans fire up, Caster gest to an open corner, and he dodges Bill’s splash! Bill hits buckles, hot tags to Moriarty and Bowens! Bowens rallies with big hands and elbows, and a CHOP! Bowens whips, Moriarty reverses but Bowens hurdles to then mule kick, front kick, run and BULLDOG FAMOUSER! Fans fire up with Bowens as he torture racks, swings and SLAMS Moriarty! Bill runs in, into the ELBOW, CHOP and SUPERKICK! Bill ends up in a corner, fans fire up as Bowens SCISSOR FINGERS Daddy Ass! But Bill blasts past Bowens to BOOT Billy Gunn! And then he BOOTS Bowens! Fans boo but Bill roars!
Bill goes out but Caster RAMS him into barriers! The Gunns hurry up to mug their dad!! Fans boo, these Ass Boys know no lows! The Acclaimed run the Ass Boys off, dodge Bill, and POST him! Moriarty gets Bowens up, PEPSI TWIST! And then suplex, COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, TWO!! Bowens survives and fans fire up! The Gunns shout for the Firm to finish this! Moriarty aims, runs, but Bowens dodges the leg lariat! He hooks Moriarty to a backslide, TWO! Clinch and ARRIVAL! Tag to Caster and he goes up top! MIC DROP!! Cover, The Acclaimed win!
Winners: The Acclaimed, by pinfall
The Firm had the numbers but they couldn’t screw over Caster & Bowens! Daddy Ass is happy to see his boys are on a roll, and they SCISSOR FINGER~! But will justice be served at Revolution?
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Christian Cage!” Fans boo as Captain Charisma makes his way out, having returned last week to distract and then assault “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry! But speaking of, JB jumps Christian! JB rains down fists, then BLINDSIDE LARIATS!! Fans fire up as JB gets some payback! JB kicks dirt on Christian then leaves. What will Captain Charisma have to say to that? Wait, JB isn’t done! He’s back, with CHAIRS! JB sets one down, then drags Christian over to it! He stands on Christian, grabs the other chair, and raises it! Fans want him to “DO IT! DO IT!” But JB is still conflicted. He may hate Christian, but is he this savage?
JB raises the chair again, but Christian LOW BLOWS!!! And then SMACKS JB in the face! Christian dribbles JB’s face off the steel! Fans boo but Christian soaks it all up. Captain Charisma sits JB up to show the busted-open forehead! Christian stands on JB, and only now do referees show up to tell him to back off. The medic checks JB while fans cheer Aubrey Edwards on for bringing the authority. Will things only get worse between Christian Cage and Jack Perry?
Samoa Joe speaks.
First, we recap Wardlow’s warning. Joe then says, “Wardlow, of all of man’s great follies, perhaps his greatest is delusion. I scalped you to take the one thing that meant the most to you, your beloved connection to your father, to send a message that I am not a man to be messed with. So come Revolution, I’m gonna make it very clear that the biggest mistake you ever made was ever stepping back in the ring with me.” The One True King of Wrestling Television has spoken, but will Wardlow still declare war on his kingdom?
Saraya w/ Toni Storm VS Skye Blue!
The battlelines are drawn in the AEW Women’s Division, and the outsiders are daring everyone to choose a side. Will Saraya make Phoenix her house? Or will Skye Blue be the one handing out an L tonight?
The bell rings and Saraya circles with Skye. Saraya pie faces Skye, but Skye fires off forearms! Fans fire up but Saraya shoves Skye away. Skye dodges, wheelbarrows, and manages to throw Saraya away. Saraya goes to a corner, Skye runs in but Saraya puts her on the apron. Skye blocks a punch to ROCK Saraya first! Skye then climbs up, but Storm distracts her! Fans boo, but Saraya YANKS Skye down! Saraya stomps a mudhole into Skye, the ref counts, and Saraya lets off with a roar! Fans boo but Saraya TOSSES Skye out! Saraya distracts the ref so Storm can snap suplex Skye to the floor! Skye writhes, Saraya goes out after her.
Saraya RAMS Skye into barriers, snarls and puts Skye in the ring. Saraya pushes Skye to a cover, TWO! Fans rally but Saraya wraps Skye up in an abdominal stretch. Saraya mocks the fans, puts on the pressure, but Skye endures. Saraya turns Skye around, whips her to ropes, but Skye tilt-o-whirls and wraps on the IRON OCTOPUS! Saraya endures, powers out, and hits the LIGHTNING SPIRAL! Cover, TWO!! Saraya is annoyed that Skye survives, and she runs in at the corner. Skye UPPERCUTS, ROUNDHOUSES, then goes up top! Fans fire up for Skye but Saraya ROCKS her first! Saraya then climbs up and fires more forearms!
Fans boo but Saraya brings Skye up. Skye resists the lift, fires body shots, and Saraya hops down. Skye leaps, CROSSBODIES, and fires up! Fans fire up with her as she spins Saraya to a KNEE, whip, and SHINING WIZARD at the ropes! Skye keeps moving, SHOTGUN! Cover, but Storm distracts the ref! Fans boo, Skye might’ve had this! Skye DECKS Storm and fans love it! But Saraya THRUST KICKS! And then Saraya grabs the legs, steps through and turns Skye over, KNIGHT’S CROSSING! Skye taps, Saraya wins!
Winner: Saraya, by submission
Skye lost, but Saraya & Storm are going to add insult to injury! They have the spray paint cans, but here comes Jamie Hayter & Britt Baker! The champ and the Doctor run the outsiders off, no L being sprayed tonight! Well, Saraya and Storm spray a fan’s sign with one real quick, then run off. But here comes Ruby Soho! The Runaway isn’t going to let them run away! But Ruby also tells Hayter that she wants the belt. Hayter is fine with that, but will Saraya & Storm still make this about them?
Bryan Danielson is here!
Phoenix fires up again as The American Dragon heads to the ring, and he gets the mic to say, “Boy, is it great to be back in Phoenix, Arizona!” Fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” and Bryan continues with, “Man, it seems like you people might want me to win the AEW Championship at Revolution.” They continue to say “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan says he will do everything in his power to beat MJF for that title. “But first, I wanna talk a little bit about what MJF said last week. MJF came out into this ring, and said he hates Bryan Danielson. So let me get this straight: he tries to break the arm of a friend of mine for over 20 years, and he hates me?
“Let me get this straight: he put a bounty on my head, tried to injure me so I can’t even make it to the PPV, but he hates me? MJF hospitalized my mentor, William Regal, and he hates-” WAIT! Here comes MJF! Fans are torn as Maxwell Jacob Friedman walks out but he has the music cut. He stares Bryan down from the stage, and he says, “Bryan, you may have all these shmucks twisted, but I know who you really are, man. And I know who I really am. I’m the guy who got left stranded by anyone I’ve ever opened up to. I’m the guy who got thrown away like trash by anyone who’s ever claimed they loved me.
“And then I met a girl. A girl who changed my outlook on every single person on this planet. My dream girl, the girl I fell in love with. She convinced me that not everyone in this world is bad, so I became the man who got down on one knee and I told that girl I wanted to start a family with her. I wanted to make a home with her. I wanted to have children with her. And you know what she did, Bryan Danielson? She left me. She left me, Bryan!” Fans aren’t exactly upset to hear that. Quite a few chant, “You Deserve It!” MJF says “She left me because I’m unlovable!
And now, the only thing I have in this life that I can trust, the only thing I have in this world that makes me feel unconditional love, is this Triple B! The AEW World Heavyweight Championship is the only thing stopping me from grabbing a fistful of pills and calling it a day! But not you, Bryan, no! Everybody loves the American Dragon, Bryan Danielson! Everybody looks up to you. Everyone respects you. They throw their hands up in their air and they scream, ‘Yes!’ at the top of their lungs!” Fans do it even now! “And as if that wasn’t enough, you have something I’ll never have: you have a family.
“A beautiful, smart, adoring wife, two happy healthy children. And you take all of it for granted! You wanna know why I hate you, Dragon? It’s not because these shmucks actually think that you’re better than me, cuz Lord knows by March 5th, they’ll know that ain’t the truth. I hate you because you have had more concussions and more head trauma than anyone in the history of this business. You suffered concussion after concussion until you were on the floor, foam streaming down your face, having seizures. And you’re still in my sport? Every time you step foot in that ring, you’re saying wrestling is more important than your family and your children.
“Every time you step foot in that ring, you’re spitting in my face! Because you are taking everything I would kill for, for granted! You are no different than your worthless, drug addicted mentor, William Regal, who I gladly sent home to the hospital. Matter of fact, Bryan, you’re worse. Because you’re addicted to the spotlight. Well guess what? On March 5th at Revolution, you’re gonna get all the spotlight you could possibly ever need in that Ironman match. Because I’m gonna punish you, Dragon. I’m gonna punish you for trying to take away the ONE THING I have in this life! And I am gonna punish you for everything you have taken for granted.
“So now, I’d like to take this chance to speak to your children watching at home.” Bryan tells him not to DARE bring the family into this, or he’ll kick the sh*t outta him! Fans fire up for that! MJF still says, “Hi, Birdie. Hi, Buddy. It’s your Uncle Max here. I just want you to know that come March 5th at Revolution, I’m gonna make Dada pay for all his selfishness. I’m gonna grab Dada’s arm, and I’m gonna rip it outta socket until he submits! And I’m gonna make sure Dada can never play with you again.” Fans boo and tell MJF off, but he just says, “For one hour straight, I’m gonna make sure Dada can never pick you up again.
“And then, Uncle Max is gonna take his fist and hit Dada in the head with it over and over again! And I’m gonna give Dada a present on March 5th.” MJF storms up to the ring and the apron. Does everyone wanna know what the gift is? EARLY ONSET CT- BRYAN FIRES OFF ON MJF! They brawl, MJF tackles Bryan but Bryan turns it around to rain down fists!! Security has to rush out there to stop this but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” Bryan gets loose to TACKLE MJF! They brawl more, the security separates them, but MJF fights off the guards! He CLOBBERS Bryan in a corner! Bryan pushes MJF all the way back!
Fans boo as refs and produces rush out now to make sure these two stay apart! but Bryan manages to get loose again! MJF runs off, BJ Whitmer tries to reason with Bryan, but Bryan slides out to CLOBBER MJF into the timekeeper’s area! Bryan wants MJF again and fans are losing their minds! Security gets Bryan away from MJF, but will this only explode in the ONE HOUR Ironman Match?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter & Britt Baker.
Tony Schiavone of course talks with the Killer & the Pillar, and brings up what we saw earlier tonight with them confronting Saraya & Storm. Hayter says they are PISSED! Saraya is getting too big for her britches, thinking she can just walk around here, do whatever she wants, and wreak havoc and destroy everything that Britt, Hayter and the rest of the AEW Women’s Division have created. Hayter doesn’t like that. Hayter also noticed how Saraya was glancing at the AEW Women’s World Championship last week. Sure, Saraya might be worthy for a shot. Saraya hasn’t lost a single match since her comeback, and you have to respect that.
But look at everything Saraya’s trying to do. “Ruin it from the ground up.” But Hayter thinks someone else is also deserving of a shot at Revolution, in one Ruby Soho. Ever since Ruby came back from injury, she’s been killing it. She’s busted her ass and shown everyone why she should be after this title, as well. So Hayter is “wracking her brain” trying to think of who is more deserving. So let’s have a little fun at Revolution and make it a TRIPLE THREAT! Saraya, Soho, Hayter will beat both you b*tches, neither one is taking this title off her! The champ has spoken, will it be made official? Can Hayter still hit hard when there’s two opponents at once?
Revolution Tag Team Battle Royal!
The Gunns and The Acclaimed are already headed to the tag title match in the Golden State, but pretty much everyone else has a shot at a spot! Top Flight, Silver & Reynolds, Team Triple J, La Faccion Ingobernable, Best Friends, the Lucha Brothers, The Butcher & The Blade, Menard & Parker, Nese & Daivair and even NJPW’s Aussie Open are all here, and at the bell, they all flood the ring! Who will be the last team standing to be the first team added to Revolution?
Fans fire up as the brawling is on between all the teams, but the JAS stay outside. Some brawls spill out from the middle rope, but most of the teams stay inside. Sonjay Dutt helps Jarrett mug Fenix, even though Sonjay isn’t a participant! Now the JAS get involved, Trent and Lethal brawl outside, and Penta KICKS Jarrett! Rush whips Jarrett at Penta and Jarrett LARIATS Penta! Jarrett and Rush mug Penta, Nese & Daivari stomp away on Fenix. Reynolds CHOPS Vance, Butcher & Blade stomp away on Top Flight. Fans boo as Rush pulls at Penta’s mask! Dante Martin tries to throw Kyle Fletcher out but he fights free.

The Last Outlaw wins it for his team, but it helps that his team had extra members! Will Triple J steal the tag titles like they did Paul Walter Hauser’s Golden Globe? And who will be in next week’s Casino Tag Team Battle Royal to win that final spot?
BREAKING NEWS!
With Aussie Open here tonight and fans excited to see them, Davis & Fletcher will get a tag match with the Young Bucks for Rampage! Will Aussie Open get themselves in on the Trios Championships? Or will they just be part of a Superkick Party?
The House of Black speak.
Malakai says, “Thousands of people is what you heard last week. Thousands of people that feel. Feel and see the same things that we’ve been seeing for months. But there is a problem, as we said, within this company. And it’s time for us to address that problem, eradicate it, and let these voices be heard.” Brody King steps out from the shadows with Julia Hart and says, “The House will bring a firestorm to purify the current landscape of AEW. And from the ashes rain, The House will cement its foundation on the cinder, built to last.”
Buddy Matthews walks out from the shadows and adds, “But before Revolution, we the House would like to discuss your status as AEW World Trios Champions this Friday, face to face.” The House of Black wants to meet The Elite, will Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks accept the invitation?
Backstage interview with Tony Khan.
Renee is with the AEW President & CEO, and knows he has a HUGE announcement to make. What’s going on? Tony says this is huge stuff involving a lot of the big stars and the people backstage. Tony felt this would be best made by a major star in AEW, and that man is ADAM COLE! Cole and Tony shake hands and Tony steps aside. Renee asks Cole what’s going on. Cole says that last week, he said he was really excited about getting to tell more of his story. That day is upon us. Starting next month in March, there will be a weekly, one-hour television series immediately following after Dynamite right on TBS, AEW All Access.
AEW All Access will be a look at the company like you’ve never seen before. It’ll feature names like Adam Cole Baybay, Dr. Britt Baker, and many more. And trust him when he says this is something you will not want to miss. For example, Cole is getting to show a lot of his story, his challenges, his ups and downs and everything in between. He is excited to share that journey with everyone watching at home. He also has more good news. That same night, the debut night of AEW All Access, live on Dynamite, Cole will make his in-ring return! For the past six months, Cole has gone through hell, challenge after challenge, just imagining this day happening, “and that day is oh so very close.”
Cole is “damn sure” he’ll be the best Adam Cole he’s ever been, and the AEW roster better be ready. March is going to be special, from AEW All Access and Adam Cole being back, baybay! Will there be some real March madness in AEW?
Team Triple J speaks.
Sonjay Dutt says that everything he has said has come true! They are going to Revolution and become tag team champions! Jarrett says it’s just 10 days away, and he told us all they’d do it! But in step The Gunns! Colten & Austin have them all settle down, no hitting anyone with a guitar. They aren’t here to fight, but Colten is thinking that maybe it should be just the two teams here. Sonjay says their Firm buddies sure didn’t get the job done with The Acclaimed. What’re the champs really trying to say? All they’re saying is that they can take care of each other’s business before Revolution.
Jarrett says they’ll take care of business when The Gunns take care of business. Uh, they always take care of business. Do they see the titles? Austin mocks Jarrett’s guitar playing. Sonjay fist bumps with the Gunns, Lethal doesn’t mind that, and Sonjay says things are in the bag now. But with a Casino Tag Battle Royal still to come next week, will all these teams be thrown for a loop?
BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Dynamite!
After serving his suspension, the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, HOOK is back! But as Stokely Hathaway still wants justice, HE gets to decide who Hook faces in a 1v1 match. The FTW Champion’s already torn into everyone in The Firm, who could Stokely possibly #SendHook?
Jon Moxley VS Evil Uno!
The Maniac has beaten just about everyone in AEW once over, which is why he’s at 99 wins! Moxley wants that distinction of being the first to 100, but will Uno not be the one? Or will Moxley strike fear in the heart of the Dark Order’s fearless leader?
We see Hangman and Uno watching as Moxley makes his entrance. Hangman pats Uno on the shoulder and sends him off, staying in the back as agreed upon. Uno heads to gorilla, and Dynamite goes to picture in picture.
Moxley finally reaches ringside and Uno makes his entrance. Dynamite returns to single picture, the bell rings, and Uno CLOBBERS Moxley! Uno stomps, throws hands, and even BITES Moxley’s forehead! The ref counts, Uno lets off and stalks Moxley to another corner. Uno CHOPS him, follows him to another corner, and CHOPS again! Fans fire up, Moxley CHOPS back! And CHOPS! And eggs Uno on, so Uno CHOPS back! Moxley ROCKS Uno, Hangman is still watching in the back, and Moxley bumps Uno off buckles. Moxley stomps a mudhole in, then stands on Uno! The ref counts, fans are torn, but Moxley lets off at 4.
Moxley storms around, but Uno CHOPS! Moxley ROCKS Uno, whips him corner to corner, but Uno comes back to BOOT Moxley! Fans fire up, Uno LASHES Moxley with his vest! Uno CHOKES Moxley with the vest, BITES him, but lets off as the ref counts. Uno ROCKS Moxley, CHOPS Moxley, runs side to side to SPLASH! And then runs side to side again for another SPLASH! Uno runs Moxley corner to corner to bump him off buckles. Fans fire up with Uno, hoists him up top, and then CHOPS! Uno climbs up after Moxley, Moxley resists and throws body shots. Moxley ROCKS Uno, and TEARS at the mask!
Fans boo but the ref counts. Moxley lets off and Uno staggers away. Moxley hops down with a smirk, but Uno runs in to BOOT him down! Moxley hits barriers and then staggers away. Uno goes up the corner!? And he SUPER SWANTONS!! Fans are thunderous and Uno throws down fists! The ref tells him to get in the ring, Uno lets off and paces around. Moxley stands, Uno ROCKS him again. Uno CHOPS Moxley, Moxley gets in the ring but Uno slides in. Fans duel, Moxley bails out but Uno pursues. Moxley kicks Uno low, then RAMS him into steel steps! Fans are torn but Moxley drags Uno back up.
Moxley puts Uno’s head on the steps to STOMP him down! Moxley soaks up the cheers and jeers while the ref reprimands. Moxley goes into the ring, says this is done, and he waits on Uno. Uno staggers up, he looks a bit bloodied, but he manages to get in the ring. Moxley runs up to BOOT Uno down! Moxley throws crossface forearms again and again and again! Fans boo and we see a crimson mask forming under the black ‘n’ purple one. Moxley finally lets off on Uno and he paces around again. Moxley stands Uno up but Uno ROCKS him! And reels him in! PILEDRIVER! And then Uno gets Moxley back up! PILEDRIVER!! Cover, TWO!!
Moxley survives and Uno’s dripping blood all over his shoulder and chest. Uno gets Moxley up but Moxley shoots around, SLEEPER! Uno reaches out but Moxley traps the arms to HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOW! SLEEPER, takedown, BULLY CHOKE!! Uno endures, reaches out, Moxley pulls tighter, but Uno is almost SPURTING blood! But still Uno stands up!! Only for Moxley to body scissor! Uno is OUT, Moxley wins!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission
But Moxley isn’t letting go! He has his 100th win, but he just wants to squeeze the life from Uno quite literally! Silver & Reynolds return and they beat up on Moxley! Only for Claudio & Yuta to return and fight them off! The BCC beat down the Dark Order, but here comes Hangman!! The Cowboy waited until the match was over, and now he brawls with Moxley!! Fans are thunderous, and he takes out BARBED WIRE!! He wraps it on his hand, and BARBED WIRE DECKS Moxley!! This is just a sample of the Texas Deathmatch that’s coming! Fans fire up for the “COWBOY SH*T!” going on as Hangman RAMS Moxley into barriers, then rains down fists! Moxley is now busted open!
Hangman wants more, and he throws Moxley back in the ring! BUCK- NO, Moxley runs away! Fans boo, but Moxley grins through the crimson mask now forming on his own face. Will these two soon have the most violent match in AEW’s history?
My Thoughts:
A really good Dynamite here with a lot more set up for Revolution, but I feel like there are some things that need to be addressed. I’m not sure what is the bigger reason to not have blood in every Moxley match: the fact they do it in EVERY Moxley match; or in the case of Uno here tonight, he was losing a lot of blood. Moxley putting on the Bulldog Choke practically squeezed Uno like a ketchup packet. Outside of that, a great showing from Uno, in what was more or less a ten minute match that he wasn’t gonna win anyway. Moxley gets his 100th win, which is cool, but no surprise, he still bleeds tonight as Hangman stands tall against him, busting him open in return. I wasn’t just kayfabing, that Texas Deathmatch will be something else.
Great stuff out of that opener in Cassidy VS Yuta, it really fed into the story between them. And between Moxley trying to bleed Uno and Claudio slapping Yuta and telling him to get vicious, I feel like the BCC outside of Bryan Danielson is going to end up a Heel, and maybe Bryan leaves the group because of that. Bryan and MJF had a strong promo segment, though I feel like MJF is playing with fire essentially talking about suicidal depression and CTE. The brawl was great, though, but I feel like it should’ve been saved for the go-home segment next week. And Bryan basically stood tall here, so it definitely indicates MJF retains.
Great and hilarious promo from Starks and Jericho. Naturally, Jericho says he knows what Starks was doing and that he wouldn’t fall for it, only to fall for it. Peter Avalon wanting to answer the open challenge only to get decimated was hilarious in itself, and honestly, while odd that the onus for the rematch is put on Starks when he won the first match, there is some logic to him being so determined after all the cheap shots. But at least it’ll be truly 1v1 after the “addendum.” And good promo from House of Black to call out The Elite. The Elite will surely step up to accept the title challenge, and we’re going to get an awesome match at Revolution.
Tony Khan and Adam Cole certainly made the announcement tonight sound bigger than it was. AEW All-Access actually being a thing is nice, certainly plenty of fans want to see that stuff. There’s an audience for that with WWE doing all their different behind-the-scenes not-kayfabe stuff, so AEW surely has that, too. But the better stuff is Cole getting his return match. He could face just about anyone in that return, and then he could easily set something up for Revolution if he’s feeling up for it. Good promo from Samoa Joe to respond to Wardlow, and great sneak attack from JB, even though Christian still stood tall. Pretty sure we get two Face wins there, Wardlow taking the TNT title and JB getting even with Christian once and for all.
Saraya VS Skye was a good match but a quick one, with the more important stuff being Ruby, Britt and Hayter showing up. Good promo from Hayter and of course they set up a Triple Threat. That will probably go about the way the previous one did, where Ruby doesn’t so much side with anyone as opposed to taking her own side. Whether or not she wins the title that way, who knows. And honestly, where is Jade Cargill in all this? Even if she were to just say she doesn’t care about where Saraya came from and all that, at least it’d be integrating stories together the way AEW used to do in the early days.
Really good tag match out of Acclaimed VS Firm, and of course the Gunns try to cost The Acclaimed. Great tag team battle royal, with a lot of stories easily being developed in it. But in the end, Triple J winning out makes a lot of sense since AEW wants them to revisit their feud with The Acclaimed. Calling upon that continuity makes it even more likely, or at least makes it seem even more logical, that FTR would make their return to AEW through the Casino Tag Battle Royal and get in on the title match. They’ve got beef with Austin & Colten, they’ve wanted those AEW World Tag titles back for a long time now, this could be the way to do it.
Alternately, Best Friends probably redeem themselves from almost winning here, they worry more about getting Walter Hauser’s Golden Globe back and Acclaimed get the belts back because of it. Either way, the fans being upset in El Paso will be reconciled by a big Face win on PPV.

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.

Kyle comes back in, but Okada pops Kyle up, Alabama Lift for the REVERSE NECKBREAKER! A little double-edged given the bad knee, but both men are down! The ref checks Kyle, and BOTB goes back to picture in picture.
Okada shakes out the bad leg as he sits up, and he crawls over to Kyle. Okada drags Kyle by his leg and they go outside, for Okada to RAM Kyle into railing! The fans fire up, and Okada brings Kyle around to RAM him into the railing again. Okada paces, brings Kyle up again, and puts him in the ring. Okada stalks Kyle, brings him up, and bumps him off buckles again. Okada hobbles away, but then comes back to whip corner to corner. Kyle hits buckles hard again, and Okada runs up to ELBOW! The fans cheer and Okada looms over Kyle again. Okada scuffs Kyle, eggs him on, and Kyle rises up. Kyle swings, but into the MONEY CLIP!
Okada squeezes tight, Kyle flails, and Battle of the Belts goes to break!
BOTB returns and Okada SHOTGUNS Kyle down! The fans fire up while the ref checks both men. Okada and Kyle both stir, so a standing count starts. Kyle pushes himself up while Okada slowly sits up. We hit 5 of 10, but both men stand. Okada scoops to TOMB- NO, Kyle slips free, UPPERCUTS, and has the GUILLOTINE FACELOCK as we hear the five minute warning! Okada endures, even as Kyle thrashes him! Okada drops to his knees, so Kyle lets go, to KNEE him down! Okada sits up, but avoids the Penalty Kick! Okada scoops, but Kyle slips free to have the ANKLE LOCK!! AND GRAPEVINE!! Okada flails and fans fire up!
Okada endures, reaches out, crawls forward, but Kyle puts on more pressure! Okada grits his teeth to lurch into the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer but Kyle lets go in frustration. Okada bails out, time still on his side. Okada hobbles but grins because he knows that. Okada refreshes the count, and he grins. But Kyle goes to the apron to FLYING KNEE! Okada dodges! Okada kicks low and DDTS to the floor! Okada grins, he’s now just playing to run out the clock. Okada drags Kyle up, puts him in the ring, and then steps back in. Okada reels Kyle in, scoops and SLAMS him, then goes to the corner.
The fans duel as Okada climbs, for the MACHO ELBOW! The fans fire up as Okada winds up, for the… MIDDLE FINGER! Okada grins, reels Kyle in, but Kyle fights the ripcord! Kyle wrenches, ELBOW KNEE VICE! Then he wrenches again, ELBOW BREAKER! But Okada still LARIATS! Okada drags Kyle back up, wrenches and- Kyle dodges! But Okada DROPKICKS!

Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW Continental Champion)
With minutes to spare, The Rainmaker comes through with his Rainmaker lariat! Okada leaves with the title, meaning The Elite is still dripping with gold! Will no one ever stop their domination?
La Faccion Ingobernable speaks.
Or in this case, Rush laughs. Rush says that is what happens with LFI! And this message is for everyone! They will destroy every single wrestler and every single faction in this company! Dralistico says they will BURN! And then we see Mortos CHOKING Hologram!! The minotaur will not let it go that he lost the Best 2 Out of 3 Falls to Hologram at WrestleDream! Rush says remember: When you mess with the bull, you get the horns! LFI stands on Hologram and throw up the fists, who will be next to get those fists in their face?
Lance Archer & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS Jon Cruz & Jack Cartwheel!

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?

Anna wobbles, Mariah reels her in! Fireman’s carry, but Anna slips free! MOUSE TRAP! ANNA WINS!!
Winner: Anna Jay, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW Women’s World Champion)
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!
The One & Only wants everyone to understand that to be The Best in the World, you don’t say it, you show it! So then will Ricochet show everyone in AEW and around the world that he IS the best? Or will he just be a guest star on the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. Ricochet trips Fox, rolls him to whip him, but Fox reverses.

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 trios sort out, Tony Nese starts against Isiah Kassidy, and they circle. They feel things out, but then Ariya Daivari gets in to CLOBBER Zay! The fans boo as Nese & Daivari stomp Zay. They bump him off buckles, Nese tags Daivari and they mug Zay. The ref counts, The Premier Athletes stop, and Daivari tags Nese back in. They stand Zay up for more mugging! The fans boo, the ref reprimands and counts, but Nese stops at 4. Nese then clamps onto Zay, brings him around, and whips him to the corner. Zay uses that to triangle jump STUNNER Woods! Nese waistlocks, Zay wrenches to knuckle lock and CHOP!
Daivari runs in, Zay dodges, then goes up and up to FLYING ARM-DRAG RANA COMBO! Zay runs up, Nese headlocks, but Quen tags in. Private Party play leapfrog to then DROPKICK! Daivari returns, atomic drop and DROPKICK! Woods runs up, they block his boot to KICK and NECKBREAKER! DOUBLE STMOPS added, and the fans fire up! Sterling says don’t touch him, he’ll sue! Quen leaves Sterling alone to tag Zay. Private Party double whip Nese, Quen sets up and Zay runs in, PARTY IN MOTION! They switch, Quen gives us AFTERPARTY IN MOTION! Zay paces, drags Nese up, then scoops to SLAM!
Zay goes to the corner, climbs up, and the fans rally up. But wait, Stokely Hathaway is here? Zay says stay back, but Nese trips him up! Nese kicks Zay out, distracts the ref, and The Premier Athletes beat Zay down! Sterling even gets a cheap shot in! 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.
Nese fetches Zay into the ring, drags him to the Premier Athlete corner, then tags Woods. Woods fires big hands on Zay, then brings Zay around to bump off buckles. Woods stands on Zay, drags him up, and CLUBS him on the back! Zay sputters, Woods distracts the ref, and Sterling CHOKES Zay on ropes!

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! Then he dodges Bronson, comes back, ORANGE PUNCH! Bronson staggers around, into BEACH BREAK! Cover, Cassidy wins!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
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! Hayter dusts herself off, keeps moving, but Havok drops. Hayter avoids the dropkick, then shrugs. The fans fire up, and Hayter stomps Havok right on the butt. Hayter bumps Havok off buckles, then runs her corner to corner to do it again. Hayter stomps a mudhole in, but lets off to soak up Stockton’s love.

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. Atlantis won it then, but then he lost it recently to Brian Cage. This rematch is therefore not about gold but about pride. Will The Aussie Arrow strike Atlantis down this time? Or will history repeat itself from the CMLL anniversary show?
Kyle throws his jacket at Atlantis to then CLBOBER him! The bell rings and Kyle rains down furious fists from all side!

The ref says stop but Kyle CLUBS Atlantis! Kyle says he stopped so chill. Kyle drags Atlantis up to put him in, and again pretends he can’t hear the fans.

Kyle Fletcher has something to day.” Kyle takes the mic to say, “I am ready to talk. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t waste my breath on you idiots anyway. I mean I am ready to talk this Wednesday, and you will listen. Especially you, Will!” Kyle claims he will finally tell us why, will anyone like what he says?

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Lexy is with La Mera Mera and says she hasn’t been in AEW since August. She got hurt, then showed up in England. When will she come back? Rosa says unfortunately, she suffered a concussion, but she has been cleared. While out of action, she went home to Mexico for International Girls’ Day, then she went to London this past weekend to win a championship. Then the Mexican Embassy honored her and- Harley says this is an injustice! NO justice! It is HER time! Hey, she is having a moment! This has been unruly and unfair and- Rosa says this is unfair! Then she DECKS Harley! Harley says Rosa will be the next to feel her wrath!
Harley writhes, but when she gets back up, will she and Rosa have quite the Collision in the ring?
The Outrunners VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have risen to new heights, in part thanks to working out with FTR. But will the Youngest Men Alive keep rising up the ranks? Or will El Toro Blanco y The Beast Mortos stampede right through them towards the top spot in AEW?
The teams sort out, Truth starts against Mortos and the fans rally up. The two circle, tie up, and Mortos powers Truth to a corner. The ref counts, Mortos lets off slowly, to then SMACK Truth!

Rush fires more hands, then he scuffs Truth. Truth rolls to the apron but Rush drags him back in. Rush clamps on a chinlock and squeezes tight. Truth endures, fights up, but Rush wrangles him back down. Rush leans on the hold, fishhooks Truth to make him smile, but lets go as the ref reprimands. Rush stalks Truth to the ropes, CHOKES him, but steps away as the ref counts. So Dralistico CHOKES Truth instead! Rush drags Truth up, and SHOTGUNS him to a corner! Rush storms up to ROCK Truth again! Rush drags Truth up, wrenches and KICKS him, then snapmares with some force. Rush has the arms for a motorcycle stretch!

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. Will the Swiss Superman, Decoder & Bastard just have to break their opponents in mind and body? Or will Action, Darius & Dante finally add some gold to their luggage?
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.

He tells Dante to go, and Dante DIVES, but Claudio catches him! And POSTS him! Top Flight is in trouble while Collision goes picture in picture.
Claudio drags Dante up, fireman’s carries, and marches around the way. Claudio goes up the steps, WASTELAND SLAMS Dante into the ring, then tags Pac. Pac steps in to stomp Dante.

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. They join their team in the ring as the beating continues. Moxley whispers to Pac, and Pac drags Action up. Moxley looks Action in the eyes, and then DECKS him! Claudio continues to hammer away on Darius, but here comes Lio Rush! He gets mugged, but Leila Grey asks they stop. Marina ROUNDHOUSES Leila! 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
