It’s the NXT Vengeance Day Kickoff Show!

Join Matt Camp and Sam Roberts in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the action on this historic night!

 

NXT_Anonymous shares footage.

Apollo Crews and Carmelo Hayes had a tense encounter in the lobby of the hotel, but management was there to keep it from exploding. Their Best 2 Out of 3 Falls will settle things, but which way will the future go?

 

Wes Lee speaks.

“Woo~ hoo! Fresh to death, and ready to head to the Spectrum Center. But first, a kiss from the missus.” Wes kisses his wife, picks up his title, “never leave home without it, and I plan to make my way back home with it.” The Missus says he better. Wes tells Dijak he has no shot, the North American title stays on the #WesSide.\

 

Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen talk with Fallon Henley & Kiana James.

Briggs knows Kayden & Katana have a ton of tag moves, so Fallon & Kiana have to stop them before they get going. Jensen agrees. Kayden loves her dropkick-splashes, so Kiana should get those beautiful legs- er, knees up! Kiana asks if Jensen was watching film for her. He was. Kiana tells Fallon, “Isn’t Jensen the sweetest?” Fallon says, “I don’t now, Kiana. You tell me.” Briggs tells them to focus! If they’re gonna win, they gotta listen to each other. The ladies agree, they’ve got this. Will the Cowgirl & Calculator figure out KC Squared and bring home the gold?

 

Backstage interview with The New Day.

McKenzie Mitchell is with the NXT Tag Team Champions, and notes that they take on three tag teams at once. Xavier Woods says yes they will, but first, he wants to talk about something very important. New Day has new shirts at WWE Shop! But also, NXT had these tag titles stuck down in Orlando, going up and down Florida, nobody saw them! The New Day has taken these belts all over the world, starting with Australia, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. Now, we’re here at Vengeance Day! Kofi Kingston says they have stiff competition.

First, the longest reigning NXT UK Tag Team Champions EVER in Gallus! Then there’s former NXT Tag Team Champions, Pretty Deadly! And if that wasn’t enough, there’s Chase U! Chase U hasn’t won titles yet, but imagine if Andre Chase won his first here in his hometown of CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA! Chase will win one day, just not today. Woods bids us adieu as he and Kofi must prepare to walk out your W, W, E, N, X, T, World, Tag, Team, CHAMPIONS~! And do you know why? McKenzie does her best Big E, “BEEECAUSE~!” “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” McKenzie knows, but will the world know after tonight’s Fatal 4 Way?

 

Chase U gets hyped outside the Spectrum Center.

But why? It’s freezing right now! Andre Chase says Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC is a place with so many great wrestling moments he grew up on. And tonight, they have the opportunity to have THEIR moment! It’s just as Michael Jordan said: Heart is what separates the good from the great. Chase U may be the underdogs, but not here in Charlotte! They not only have heart, they have homefield advantage! They’ll go give those other three teams an Andre Chase University sized ASS WHOOPING! Duke does the U to high-ten, he and Chase are all fired up! But will this homecoming be a big win for Chase U?

 

Charlotte Flair speaks.

“Alright, North Carolina, it’s about damn time. NXT is back on the road. A brand that revolutionized this industry. But it’s not about then, it’s about this generation. Starting with this man: NXT Champion, Bron Breakker. He will Spear you so hard, your great-grandchildren will feel it. His opponent: Grayson Waller. A silver-tongued Aussie who believes it’s not talking smack if you can back it up. Two caged animals, but only one will come out as champion. From one champion to another, allow me to introduce a 21-year-old Prodigy, Roxanne Perez. This new champion has to fend off two Toxic vultures whose mission is to stop the future and rebuild their empire. Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne will do it by any means necessary.

“And for the ten people in the world who don’t know the new Day, they’re only the greatest tag team in WWE history. Three teams respect history, but want to write their own. A university rich in passion, rich in tradition. A flamboyant duo who’s pretty on the outside, but deadly inside the ring. And two bruisers who are ready to reign over a new kingdom. If we’re talking tag teams, where my ladies at? Katana & Kayden, please stand up. Since day one, ride or die. And you chose to ride all the way to the longest reign in Women’s Tag Team History. Raw, SmackDown, NXT, period. But there are two bitter rivals, Fallon Henley & Kiana James. They put their disdain aside for the opportunity to break the streak and capture championship gold.

“If there’s a way to get that W, North American Champion Wes Lee will find it. But Dijak is a man on a mission, ready to serve justice. It’s the classic David VS Goliath for the North American title. And finally, there’s talent, and then there’s these two men. Apollo Crews and Carmelo Hayes. They have more athleticism in their pinkie finger than 99% of men have in their whole bodies. Don’t blink, you’ll miss something incredible, because these two men are about to put on a show. Not for one fall, but for two out of three. This is your moment. This is your day. This is Vengeance Day!” The Queen has spoken, who seizes the day in The Queen City?

 

NXT North American Championship: Wes Lee VS DIJAK!

The Must-See Kid has proven himself to be a fighting champion and a worthy champion, but he’s going up against #HardJustice! Will this title stay on the #WesSide? Or will it be put under lock and key?

Backstage interview with Kayden Carter & Katana Chance.

McKenzie is with the NXT Women’s Tag Team titles moments away from their defense against the “unorthodox team” of Fallon & Kiana. Katana says from unorthodox to in-sync to best friends to bitter enemies. They’ve faced them all on the road to becoming THE longest reigning Women’s Tag Team Champions in the WWE. Kayden says whether it’s a love triangle, rectangle or whatever between Kiana, Fallon, Jensen and Briggs, that’s not their concern. Their concern is the titles. Kayden isn’t trying to sound cocky, but this team busted their asses to become champions. They’re gonna do what they do. But will they do it for one more night to keep the reign going?

 

NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships: Kayden Carter & Katana Chance VS Fallon Henley & Kiana James w/ Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen!

KC Squared loves to bring the party, but the other team is all business. Well, Kiana is business, Fallon is a pretty rough ‘n’ tumble party girl in her own right. But will the Cowgirl & Calculator handle business against a united duo? Or will Chance & Carter be bringing these titles to an after party?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see if KC Squared adds to the Highlight Reel!

The teams sort out and Kiana starts against Kayden. Briggs shouts, “New champ alert!” as Kiana and Kayden circle. They tie up, Kayden gets around to waistlock, and she trips Kiana to twerk on her.

Kayden knows she got cheated! She protests but it’s too late! The streak is over at 181 days, and now the gold is going home with the Cowgirl & Calculator! Is this unlikely duo going to go far with these belts? Or will it only be a matter of time before Kiana gets caught bending the rules?

 

Drew Gulak is on Instagram.

He has Hank Walker join him on his Instagram story. Did Hank see Wes use speed to counter Dijak’s size and strength? Yeah, he saw that. That is how you have to beat high-fliers: you ground them. One more thing, too. See how nice everyone here is dressed for Vengeance Day? Why is Hank dressed like he’s going to repair a sink? These are just Hank’s clothes. Oh, those are just his clothes? They need to get Hank some real ring attire. Sure, right away. Good, Gulak is building a superstar, not a house. Hank says he can do that. What kind of ring gear will we see the Blue Collar Boy bring to NXT?

 

Lyra Valkyria speaks.

“My Vengeance Day was supposed to arrive last Tuesday. Cora Jade was going to, as she put it, teach me my place here in NXT. But I guess Cora changed her mind. I can’t respect a woman who says one thing and then does the opposite. Cora Jade’s time will come, and she will perish. This Tuesday, I’m going to be standing in the middle of the ring. So who among the women’s locker room is ready to soar?”

But wait, here comes Trick Melo Gang! Melo won against Apollo, he is the de facto #1 contender! Will Melo be the man that finally dethrones the man?


My Thoughts:

A great event for NXT to get back out on the road with! Vengeance Day wasn’t a TakeOver by name but it was definitely one in spirit and quality. Granted, they did still give us promos from the superstars not involved in matches tonight, but I do like that they were having a viewing party back in the Performance Center. Feroz VS Lyra for NXT this Tuesday is going to be good stuff, and it will surely help push stories along. It could even feed into the story of who attacked Nikkita Lyons, with Feroz still being a suspect from the footage. And I was just hoping we’d get Hank Walker having to get traditional wrestling gear, I can’t wait to see how that turns out.

Good promos in the kickoff show, and the North American title opening was a bit of a surprise. But at the same time, they went nuts in that match to really set the bar. Tony and Stacks helping Wes was a surprise, but it makes sense since they’d want to screw over Dijak. Also, Dijak apparently broke his finger through the course of this match, that sucked for him. But Wes retaining makes sense, as he’s been doing great ever since being on his own. Plus, there are limitless possibilities for his next defense. Great women’s tag match, and of course Kiana still uses her Heel tactics. Kiana and Fallon winning was a bit of a surprise, but it works for their story as we approach Valentine’s Day and perhaps the culmination of the Kiana-Jensen story.

The Best 2 Outta 3 was great stuff, but I was a bit disappointed they didn’t push that to the third fall before Azeez returned. Also, I like that Azeez has returned as Dabba-Kato. But also, I kinda meant it when I questioned them bringing him back if he was gonna turn on Apollo. I suppose this will be Apollo’s next story, and it’ll help reestablish Dabba-Kato as his own man. The Fatal 4 Way tag title match was awesome stuff, as expected. I thought Duke and Chase were going to fall apart as a team, but it seems not. Instead, we got new champs in Gallus, without Joe Coffey even showing up. Gallus is great, they will carry things while New Day will return to SmackDown for their WrestleMania story, if they have one.

Awesome Women’s Championship Triple Threat, and we all knew it was gonna fall apart for Toxic Attraction. They weren’t going to copy Michelle McCool & Layla when they were co-WWE Divas’ Champions, and Roxie wasn’t going to lose in her first defense ever. Just like with Wes, Roxie has any number of potential opponents for Stand & Deliver, maybe even the superstar who attacked Lyons! Something about that could tie in multiple stories. This person could’ve been someone Lyons considered a friend, but they betrayed her to get ahead much like Cora Jade betraying Roxie.

And of course, NXT Championship as the main event was great stuff. The Steel Cage being made No Escape was a good move, and was just what I was sensing on Tuesday. Waller going after Bron before the match was a good touch, but that and his big celebratory entrance were just indicators he wasn’t winning. And given that, I was kinda hoping Bron would Spear Waller through the steel cage wall at the end there. Escape wouldn’t give Waller the win, so it would’ve just been an epic moment to kinda get us past the whole “Bron Wins LOL.” Bron VS Melo is the clear match for Stand & Deliver, and I would hope Melo wins. Melo wins to truly be THE champion of NXT, Bron moves on to Raw or SmackDown to head for a midcard title.

My Score: 9/10

And as always, “Please, please, hit my music! Oh yeah, uh uh, YEET!” Nashville may be about country music, but they’re ready to rock with Jey tonight! Jey high-fives a young fan, blows a kiss to the rest, then has another young fan join in on the bounce! Jey then reaches ground level, goes to ringside to dap it up with Pat & Maggle, then he high-fives a few more fans before going to the ring. The bouncing continues, just as it has since Jey won the Men’s Royal Rumble! The fans want to keep going, so Jey says why not. The YEET continues, and Jey stands on the desk. Jey makes sure everyone’s ready, “UUUSO~!”

OH NO! Gunther trips Jey off the desk! The fans boo as Der Ring General ruins the good time, to hit Jey with a DESK BACK SUPLEX! Jey writhes and sputters, but Gunther stands him up.

Jey falls and clutches his stinging chest, but the fans chant, “YOU SUCK!” Gunther doesn’t care, he just GUNTHER BOMBS Jey down!

The fans boo as Gunther then gets in Jey’s face. Refs and producers rush out here to stop Gunther, but Gunther tells Jey not to choose him. Gunther backs off, but then he shoves through security to get Jey back up! GUNTHER BOMB!! The fans boo as hard as they can, but Gunther actually leaves this time. Gunther did warn Jey that life would become Hell until Jey chose anyone other than him. But wait, Jey grabs the mic! Jey sits up, and while fans chant YYEET! YEET! YEET!” and while Gunther says Jey is not worthy, Jey tells Gunther, “I shouldn’t say this. Maybe I shouldn’t say this. Me and you at WrestleMania!”

The fans fire up as the decision has been made! Gunther is furious and he storms back to the ring! Gunther slides in, but Jey fires off on him! The fans are thunderous as Gunther falls back, and Jey FLIES! Jey wipes out Gunther and security! Jey still wants after Gunther, but security keeps these men separated! Will Main Event Jey be the one to finally humble the World Heavyweight Champion?

 

Backstage interview with Rhea Ripley.

Cathy Kelley is with the Women’s World Champion, and she is remorseful for last week’s mistake in messing up Iyo’s match with Liv. How is she dealing with those feelings? Rhea says if Liv makes it to WrestleMania, Rhea deals with her then. But for now, we’re all waiting for “The Top Girl” to choose her WrestleMania opponent. And it feels like Charlotte is stalling, wasting our time and just trying to stay relevant. But then Damage CTRL walks over. Iyo tells Rhea that she may’ve cost her WrestleMania. But even so, she’s coming after Rhea. Rhea says she can’t wait. DMG CTRL looks to get even with Judgment Day, but will things continue to fall apart for the Genius of the Sky?

Iyo Sky & Dakota Kai VS Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez!

Another headline is that after a concussion concern, #CobraKai is back in action! Will she help Iyo with that revenge? Or will Liv & Raquel be rolling towards all their WrestleMania dreams?

Raw returns and DMG CTRL makes their entrance. The teams sort out, Iyo and Liv start and the fans are on Iyo’s side. But then Liv slips away to tag Raquel. The fans boo and Iyo calls out Liv, but Raquel steps to Iyo. Raquel pats Iyo on the head, but Iyo SLAPS her! Raquel hoists Iyo up with both hands! Raquel THROWS Iyo to a corner, runs up, but into a kick! Iyo kicks the legs out, then runs to hurdle over. Tag to Dakota, they fire off kick after kick, then they trip Raquel up! DOUBLE BASEMENT DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Dakota brings Raquel up, but Raquel shoves her to a corner. Dakota dodges then runs back in, only for Raquel to pick her up!

Dakota flying-mares free, then runs up again. Raquel THROWS Dakota away this time, then LARIATS her down! Tag to Liv and the fans boo. Liv laughs, but Dakota SCOPRION KICKS her! Liv sits down, Dakota tags Iyo, and Liv tries to retreat! Iyo drags Liv back, ducks the lariat, and fires forearms! The fans fire up and Iyo runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Liv avoids the handspring! Iyo SHOTGUNS Liv down! Raquel tags in, Liv runs up but Iyo dodges Liv. Iyo ROCKS Raquel, Liv waistlocks Iyo, but Iyo standing switches. Liv runs to ropes and Raquel BOOTS Iyo off her!

Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss and Bianca Belair are already heading to Toronto, and more spots will be filled on SmackDown. This is their one chance to join in, so will it be the Role Model or the Morrigan heading north on this Road to WrestleMania?

Oh, wait, Roxanne Perez is watching ringside. The Prodigy wants to keep an eye on one of her opponents, as they both challenge Giulia for the NXT Women’s Championship this Saturday for Vengeance Day.

Winner: Bayley, by pinfall (advances to Elimination Chamber)

Bayley takes the fourth spot in the Elimination Chamber match, and could become the #1 contender to a top title! But could this result be a golden ticket in her back pocket? Bayley shows respect to Lyra, the fans cheer, will Lyra have her own WrestleMania moment soon enough?

 

Penta speaks.

“CERO MIEDO! Zero fear! No fear of any challenge. No fear of the unkonwn. No fear for coards taht attack you from behind! Pete Dunne, Ludwig Kaiser, I beat you in the ring both, that wasn’t enough for you.” But then don’t think he’s stopping. He will show you all what it is to be Penta, and what it is to feel vengeance! Penta is coming for you! Because he has #CEROMIEDO!

 

Backstage interview with Ludwig Kaiser.

Jackie Redmond says the issues between him and Penta aren’t over. We heard Penta’s side, what is Kaiser’s response? Kaiser says the WWE Universe already knows that if Kaiser sets his eyes on you, he will not stop until you’re done for good! But then in steps Pete Dunne. He wasn’t helping Kaiser. Dunne would never help Kaiser. Kaiser was just in his way. Oh, is Dunne implying Kaiser needed his help? Dunne says see what he does to Penta next week! He’ll break Penta to make him wish he’d never set foot on Raw. In that case, Penta’s all his. Okay, just stay out of his business. The Bruiserweight heads out, will the Impeccable German be satisfied with the results?

Now AJ Styles walks by, ready to compete! Will Raw once again be phenomenal?

 

Lyra talks with the Alpha Academy backstage.

They encourage her about that match with Bayley. But then American Made walks over with sarcastic applause. Ivy Nile says that was so, so hilarious seeing the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Champion fall flat on her face. And now she’s being coached by clowns who’ll never be champion? Maybe it’ll be easier to take this title from Lyra than Ivy thought. Lyra says Ivy needs to stay in her lane. Lyra doesn’t step to Ivy in the gym, so Ivy should stay away from her in the ring. Easy there, birdie. This is Ivy’s time. First, the Creeds leave Nashville the NEW World Tag Team Champions. Ivy will see Lyra soon.

American Made heads out, the Academy says not to sweat them, either. But will Julius & Brutus be able to bring down Erik & Ivar? Or will the War Raiders teach them all about hardship and pain?

 

AJ Styles heads to the ring!

The Phenomenal One made his return in the Royal Rumble, but he’s now here in Nashville for his return to Raw! Styles grabs a mic while the fans cheer him on. Styles soaks it in, then says his heart’s about to beat out of his chest! Styles has some major deja vu right now. Four months ago, Styles came into this building with the biggest smile on his face, because this was his stomping grounds. He wanted to get his career back on track, it was gonna be awesome, and then he got injured. The fans chant “Welcome Back! Welcome Back!” Styles nods and says this was a career-ending injury he supposedly had. He thought this was all over.

But when he woke up that next morning, hobbled to the mirror, he saw he still had gas in the tank. He still had something to prove! It was hard getting back here, but anything worth doing is gonna be hard! And here he is, standing in this ring, in #Smashville, Tennessee, telling the WWE Universe that Styles is BACK! And Styles has a long to-do list. But first, he wants to remind the locker room that he is still the Phenomenal AJ STYLES! The fans like the sound of that! But then, Dominik Mysterio makes his way out here? Dirty Dom has Carlito with him, and the fans boo as hard as they can already.

Dom tells Styles, “I know it’s been a while.” Carlito tells the fans not to boo, but they don’t stop. Dom keeps going, saying it’s been a minute since Styles was on Raw, so things have changed. The fans chant for Styles, but Dom says one thing will always stay the same! The fans boo Dom and he tells them to shut up! Dom says the one thing is that Judgment Day runs Raw! The fans chant, “Dom, You Suck!” Styles grins while Dom covers his ears to block that out. Styles has everyone hold on. He knows exactly who they are, he’s got the battle scars. But yeah, Dom’s right. Things have changed. Styles doesn’t see Damian Priest with them.

Okay, he’ll ask us this. Do the fans see Rhea Ripley anywhere? Nope. What about Finn? Where is he? Is he doing something else? But yeah, things have changed. And this isn’t what Styles expected. All Styles sees is a guy in purple skinny jeans in Carlito, and then Dom, a guy no one likes. But Styles has to admit, he is inspired by Dom’s work ethic. It is hard for Styles to say, but Dom is here every night, busting his ass, Styles likes that. But just so Dom knows, Dom will always be Rey Mysterio’s punk ass kid. Dom throws hands but Styles blocks it! Styles then dodges Carlito to PELE! Dom stomps Styles!

The fans boo but Dom puts Styles on the ropes. Dom soaks up heat, dials it up, but Styles shows punch! Dom scrambles away, Carlito grabs Styles, and Carlito whips. Styles reverses, runs up, but Carlito puts him on the apron! Styles ROCKS Carlito! And then springboard, PHENOMENAL FOREARM! The fans fire up while Judgment Day is in retreat! Will Styles make sure everyone remembers just who he is?

 

Ringside interview with Seth Rollins.

Jackie Redmond introduces The Visionary to be on the perch near the back of the arena, and the fans sing his song! Jackie thanks Rollins for taking this time, and brings up the Elimination Chamber filling up. It is looking stacked: John Cena; CM Punk; Drew McIntyre; and then either Rey Mysterio or Logan Paul. But more importantly, Rollins has his opportunity to qualify when he faces Finn Balor. Rollins looks good, but how does he feel? Rollins says he has to be honest, he feels GREAT! We are live in Nashville! And it is time for Monday Night Rollins! He feels good because the path to WrestleMania is getting clearer and clearer by the second.

Earlier tonight, Jey Uso decided he’ll take on Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship! That means all eyes are on Cody Rhodes, all eyes are on THE WWE Championship, all eyes are on the Elimination Chamber, and the man who will win it. Here’s a hint: He’s a Visionary; he’s a Revolutionary; he is SETH! FREAKIN! ROLLINS! HAHAHAHA! But wait, Finn Balor appears! The fans boo, but Finn says Rollins is right. All eyes are on Rollins. But the only thing people are seeing is the downfall of Seth Rollins! We saw the cracks. We saw him lose to Punk for the Netflix debut. We all saw Rollins lose his mind at the Royal Rumble.

But luckily for Finn, the only thing in his way between Elimination Chamber and the world title… is a man that’s falling apart. Rollins takes off his sunglasses and stares Finn down. Finn really believes that? Finn thinks Rollins is in his way, huh? They go back a long way, they’ve done this dance, from WrestleMania to SummerSlam and anywhere else. And everyone knows that when these two get in that ring, they know how it goes. But Rollins has unfinished business with Punk. There are some loose ends with Cody Rhodes, for that matter. So as Rollins sees it, it is Finn who is in Rollins’ way. And mate, after next week, Finn won’t be standing at all.

The Visionary and the Prince are both smiles, but could these be poker faces this close to the big showdown? Who will continue on their Road to WrestleMania with a ticket to Toronto?

 

Adam Pearce talks with AJ Styles.

Pearce says Styles should walk before he can run, he just came back. But Styles says Pearce doesn’t get it. Styles doesn’t want this, he needs this. Is that so? Then how about next week? That’s perfect. Then next week, AJ Styles VS Dirty Dom! They shake hands on that, and then Bron Breakker steps in. The Intercontinental Champion stares Styles down, and Bron says he’ll see Styles around. Will Styles put Dom in his place before going after much more badass competition?

 

WWE World Tag Team Championships: The War Raiders VS The Creed Brothers w/ Ivy Nile!

Erik & Ivar are ready to show how all their setbacks, their injuries, their pain, and the uncertainty has only forged them into true war machines! Will nothing stop the raid? Or can Julius & Brutus find a way to make these titles American Made?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who’s ready for war!

The teams sort out, Erik and Brutus start, and they tie up. Brutus waistlocks to SLAM Erik, then he laughs as he pushes Erik around. Erik CLOBBERS Brutus! Erik puts Brutus in a corner, tags Ivar, and Ivar fires elbows! The fans cheer, the ref counts, but Ivar stops at 4. The fans cheer as Ivar then brings Brutus out, but Brutus throat chops him! Tag to Julius, the Creeds mug Ivar in the corner, but the ref counts. Julius tags Brutus back in, Brutus RAMS into Ivar, then Julius runs to forearm SMASH! Brutus CLUBS Ivar down, tags Julius, and Julius slingshots to STOMP Ivar! Ivar gets up to SMACK Julius!

Ivar shoves Julius, dodges him, and Julius tumbles out! Tag to Erik and Erik wrenches Julius to clinch and EXPLODER! Erik then ROCKS Julius, HEADBUTTS him, and deadlift GERMAN SUPLEXES! Ivy is worried but Brutus runs in. Erik dodges Brutus to URENAGE! Tag to Ivar, then tag back to Erik. Ivar scoops Julius to SLAM him, then Erik says up! He scoops Ivar to SLAM him onto Julius! The fans fire up as Ivar has Brutus on the outside, SPLASH against the apron LED! But Julius rolls Erik up! TWO! Erik hits Ace Ten Mao! And then a SITOUT POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO!! Julius survives but War Raiders are in control as Raw goes to break.

Raw returns and the Creeds have control, but Erik fights out of their corner. But Julius keeps Erik from his corner with a ROLLING SPINEBUSTER! Tag to Brutus and the Creeds POST Erik! Erik slumps to the apron, Julius takes a cheap shot on Ivar, then Brutus fireman’s carries. Julius adds a JUMP KNEE before the WIDOWMAKER! Cover, TWO! Brutus clamps a headlock onto Erik but the fans rally up. Erik fights up, Brutus shifts to a top wristlock, then he puts Erik in the corner. Brutus HAMMERS away on Erik, then he tags Julius. The Creeds stomp away on Erik, but the ref counts. The fans boo, the Creeds stop, but Julius tags Brutus back in.

The fans rally as Julius drags Erik up. Snap suplex! Brutus then becomes a weapon for the GUT WRENCH SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Ivy says stay on ’em, and Brutus clamps onto Erik with an armlock. Erik fights up, Brutus grinds the arm, but the fans rally more. Erik powers up, reaches out, but Brutus keeps him from Ivar! Erik fires a haymaker on Brutus! Brutus still holds on, so Erik fires more shots! Brutus whips Erik away, Erik goes up and over, Brutus runs into Julius! Hot tag to Ivar! BACKDROP on Brutus! Then a scoop and SIDEWALK SLAM, before a SPLASH! The fans fire up with Ivar, and he runs at Brutus, but Brutus dodges!

Brutus comes back, but Ivar hits the SEATED SENTON! Julius runs in, Ivar cartwheels and WHEEL KICKS! Ivar then hits a BRONCO BUSTER on Brutus! TIGER DRIVER! Cover, TWO!!

Erik DUMPS Julius out, then tags in. “This is Awesome!” as Erik fires off on Brutus! Brutus fires back, he and Erik trade shots! Erik fires up, and he ROCKS Brutus! Brutus BODY SHOTS Erik! Brutus laughs, but Erik ROCKS him again! Brutus falls, Ivar tags, and then pop up tot he waistlock!

Ivar runs, goes up, but Julius CLOBBERS Ivar with a title belt! The ref sees that, that’s a disqualification!

Winners: The War Raiders, by disqualification (still WWE World Tag Team Champions)

Erik DECKS Julius for that cheap shot, but then Brutus BELT SHOTS Erik! There are two belts, after all! But the Creeds don’t win those belts now! Will Chad Gable be upset about that? Or will he at least like how his boys manhandled the War Raiders?

 

Judgment Day regroups.

Carlito’s face hurts, Liv’s everything hurts, and Finn walks in. Finn says he’s glad Liv is okay and all, but maybe next time, listen to Finn. Dom says who cares about DMG CTRL. Liv’s already in Elimination Chamber, Raquel will qualify next week, and there’s the guaranteed tag title match. Things will turn around. Finn says that sounds like a lot of excuses coming from the guy who Styles made look like a fool. Uh, maybe Finn’s the fool for not helping. But Dom will handle Styles next week. Good. Dom started this, he can end this. Finn will stay out of it. Fine! But maybe they should consider adding a new member. They’re shorthanded without JD now.

Finn says he wonders why that is. Liv says they already went over that, that wasn’t Dom’s fault. But the idea of adding new members isn’t- NO! Finn says no new members! He’ll fix things around here. He’ll beat Seth Rollins, he’ll win the Elimination Chamber, and he’ll go on to WrestleMania to win the WWE Championship. Finn heads out, but is he trying to convince the group or himself?

 

DMG CTRL is on their way out.

They feel good about their win tonight, but then Rhea Ripley is there. Rhea tells Iyo that she doesn’t owe Iyo anything. So Iyo isn’t getting a match because Rhea thinks she has to. This is because Rhea wants to. So she talked with Pearce, and in three weeks’ time, on the Raw after Elimination Chamber, it’ll be Rhea VS Iyo for the Women’s World Championship! Iyo nods, and she says she can’t wait. See you then. Mami heads out, but will she be ready for the Evil Genius?

 

CM Punk is here!

Nashville fires up because “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME~!” The Best in the World is headed for Toronto and the Elimination Chamber, but what will he have to say here tonight? We find out, after the break.

Raw returns, the fans chant for “C M PUNK!” and he has a mic in his hand. “Is it great to be alive on a Monday night in Nashville, Tennessee or what?” Punk knows it is obvious post-Royal-Rumble that we are on the Road to WrestleMania. Now, if you asked him a couple weeks ago, he’d have all the confidence in the world that he was gonna win the Royal Rumble. In fact, he did that. Sometimes, he talks too much. He didn’t win the Rumble. He’s disappointed in himself, but y’know what? He’s not mad at Jey Uso. “YEET!” Punk likes watching his peers accomplish their goals. And his goal is still there.

We saw Jey declare he is going after Gunther and the World Heavyweight Championship. So Cody is probably at home. Punk hopes he remembers Punk saying he won’t stab Cody in the back, he’ll just stab him in the front. Now he has to. Punk already qualified for the Elimination Chamber. Two people have qualified for this match. Now surely people are thinking, “Punker, there are three people in it so far.” Well one man didn’t qualify. One man just decided to tell the world that hey, he’s in the match. Punk hears the boos and says yeah, they’re probably upset by that. And maybe part of Punk was, too. That’s past-tense because it no longer upsets him.

“John Cena is a legend, John Cena deserves to call his shot. The bad news for John Cena is, I busted my ass to qualify for the Elimination Chamber. So at some point in there, you’re gonna see me. And you’re not just gonna see me like you saw me in the Rumble, no. I’m gonna beat the living crap outta you, and I’m gonna beat you, and I’m going to WrestleMania. And I’m going to cash in the only way I know how, and Cody, I’m coming for you.” The other man to qualify for the Chamber is “that piece of garbage, Drew McIntyre, who’s no longer on Raw, because boy, he ran in the other direction tot he other show because I beat him in Hell in a Cell!

“What do you think I’m gonna do to you in Elimination Chamber, Drew!?” The fans fire up for that. Punk doesn’t like doing namedrops, this guy doesn’t even deserve Punk saying his name, but Seth Rollins… Rollins is taking on Finn Balor next week. Either of those guys, former world champions, they could qualify. But at the end of the day, it will be Punk’s hand raised! Punk will win the Chamber! Doesn’t matter who else is in it, five other men are going down. Punk has never been more confident in his entire life! Punk points to the sign and says to look at it. Ladies and gentlemen of Nashville, those watching at home, WrestleMania 41 belongs to one man! Three syllables: C M PUNK!

But then Logan Paul has to come out here… The fans boo but the Maverick soaks it all up. Punk didn’t even realize this was his song. Logan joins Punk in the ring, mic in hand, fans booing again, and Logan says he sees why they call him “Punk.” Logan could come up with a lot of other names, but he can’t say them on TV. But what Logan can’t understand is this. This right here! The fans boo Logan but cheer Punk? Why? Punk is talking to Kevin Owens like it’s an insult. “I never lost to Logan Paul.” Cut to the Rumble, and Logan is tossing Punk out head over heels. That was the greatest 15 minutes of fame in Punk’s career.

Logan had Punk’s number at the Rumble, and he’ll have it in the Elimination Chamber. Fortunately for Punk, it is time for Rey Mysterio’s 15 minutes of fame when he loses to Logan Paul. Punk says the way they’re booing, you’d think this was Dom again. Punk says congrats, Logan, you threw Punk out of the Rumble. Punk would’ve mentioned Logan’s name earlier, but Punk honestly forgot he was having this match. Yeah, so Logan got him at the Rumble. But don’t worry about Punk, because tonight, the number Logan pulled is 619. Logan should worry about the living legend. And if he gets past Rey, then Punk will see him in Toronto, and Punk will put Logan to sleep.

The fans cheer that! Before Logan can think of a comeback, here comes Rey! Will the King of Lucha make sure things don’t get ImPAULsive?

Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier: Rey Mysterio VS Logan Paul!

Raw returns and the bell rings. Logan and Rey circle as the fans rally up. They step up, Logan shoves Rey, but Rey SLAPS Logan! The fans fire up as Rey stomps away in the corner! The ref counts, Logan bails out, and Logan protests! The fans still cheer Rey, Logan storms to the apron, but Rey snatches his headband! Logan tells the ref to control this guy! The ref has Rey hold on, but Rey runs up! Logan RAMS Rey, but Rey avoids the Buckshot! Rey waistlocks, Logan trips him, and then Logan runs side to side. Rey stays low, but Logan somersaults into Rey! Rey runs, he goes low, but then Logan stops him!

Rey wrenches Logan’s arm to a wristlock, but Logan powers up to whip. Logan hurdles, hurdles, but Rey stomps the monkey flip down! Logan backs off to a corner, Rey storms up, but Logan kicks low. Logan puts Rey in the corner, but Rey dodges to hit back! The fans cheer “Logan Sucks!” as Rey whips. Logan reverses, Rey goes up and over, but Logan scoops for a tilt-o-whirl GUTBUSTER! The fans boo but Logan mockingly asks, “Who sucks?” Logan stomps Rey, whips him to a corner, then he runs up to fire body shots! The ref counts, Logan stops to taunt Rey, and then Logan drags Rey up. Logan fires more body shots!

The ref counts, Logan backs off, but then he whips Rey to knee him low! Logan holds onto a wristlock, soaks up more heat, then he whips Rey again for another knee! Logan taunts Rey while the fans boo. Logan knees Rey log, scoops him, and POWERSLAMS! Cover, TWO! The fans rally for Rey but Logan watches Rey crawl. Logan clamps onto an arm, fires knees into Rey’s side, then he spells out “L P.” Logan winds up, and he JABS! Rey staggers, Logan JABS him again! And again! And again! Rey falls, Logan stands over him while soaking up more heat. Logan stands Rey up again, winds up, but Rey ROCKS him first!

The fans fire up as Rey fires shots in return! Rey runs, but Logan scoops again! Rey makes it a CROSSBODY! Both men are down, and they crawl to ropes. Both men stand, Logan runs up, but Rey DUMPS him out! Rey then aims and TORNILLO PLANCHAS! Down goes Logan and the fans fire up! Rey shakes out the cobwebs and the fans cheer more. Rey puts Logan in, bumps him off buckles, then ROCKS him with a right. Rey climbs, the fans fire up, and Rey ROCKS Logan with another shot! Logan body shots in return! Logan climbs up after Rey, clinches him, then scoops him! MOONSAULT POWERSLAM! Both men are down and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again, and Logan slaps Rey around. Logan soaks up heat, then whips Rey to a corner hard! Rey bounces back, Logan waistlocks to SLAM him down! Logan grinds Rey with a rear bearhug, but the fans rally up again. Rey endures, fights to his feet, and he fires elbows! The fans fire up as Rey stomps Logan’s foot!

Rey fires hands, then whips Logan into barriers! Rey runs up, wheelbarrows, but Logan SMACKS him off the top!

Rey sputters, Logan refreshes the ring count, then he brings Rey up. Logan puts Rey in, taunts “old man” Rey, “You one tough sonova b*tch.” Logan pulls steel steps apart, then he drags Rey over! Rey grabs ropes while Logan wheelbarrows him! Logan CLUBS Rey again and again, but Rey turns this into a victory roll! Logan is sent into the steel steps! The fans fire up as Logan suffers at the hands of his own plan! Rey goes into the ring, he builds speed, and Rey SLIDING SPLASHES! Direct hit and the fans fire up again! Rey brings Logan up, puts him in the ring, and then hurries to a corner.

The fans rally as Rey climbs, and Rey SEATED SENTONS! Then Rey runs to SEATED SENTON again! Logan sputters, but Rey LIONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Logan survives and Rey grows frustrated. Rey stalks Logan to a corner, and Rey fires forearms! Rey whips, Logan reverses, but then Rey ELBOWS back! Rey runs up, tilt-o-whirl RANA! Logan ends up in a corner, the fans cheer Rey on, and Rey brings Logan to his feet. Rey climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count along, and Rey gets nine, only for Logan to ROCK him first! Logan fireman’s carries, ROLLING SENTONS, and then he LIONSAULTS! Cover, TWO!

Rey survives and Logan is stunned! Logan and Rey rise, the fans rally up, and Logan drags Rey up. Logan whips, Rey tilt-o-whirls, and he DDTS! Cover, TWO! Rey grows frustrated, the fans cheer him on, and he dropkicks Logan onto ropes! Rey dials it up, but Logan BOOTS Rey first! The fans boo but Logan doesn’t even register it. Logan wipes his bloody nose and tells the “old man” to get up! Logan climbs up the corner but Rey slips free already! Rey CLUBS Logan, gets under him, and Rey manages a POWERBOMB on Logan! Cover, TWO!! Logan is still in this, but Rey dropkicks Logan onto ropes again! Rey runs to 619!!

The fans fire up as Rey hurries up the corner, and he FROG SPLASHES onto knees! Logan winds up, TITANIUM RIGHT! And then BACK SUPLEX DDT!?! Cover, Logan wins!

Winner: Logan Paul, by pinfall (advances to Elimination Chamber)

Logan just #PAULverized Rey Mysterio! The Maverick says he can’t be this good and stay humble. But will he be the one winning Elimination Chamber? Or- OH NO, NEW DAY ATTACKS REY!! The fans boo as Kofi & Woods mug an already beat-up Rey Mysterio, and Raw has to cut away!?


My Thoughts:

A great Raw, but this was the first time their 2.5 hour runtime has been a real problem. And not only that, but I think this has to be Netflix saying they have to keep it to that, or else we wouldn’t have cut away from New Day’s attack just now. And that’s not even mentioning how there was a New Day promo cut during an ad break, and how the USA is one of the “select markets” that doesn’t get to see it. Now obviously, the New Day’s feud with Rey and the LWO isn’t over, I’m just not sure how it’s supposed to end. Rey VS Logan was a very good match, a little janky to start, but given Logan eliminated Punk, Logan getting in on Elimination Chamber was of course the plan.

Punk had a very good promo calling out everybody else in the Chamber match, and I feel like that match is going to come down to him and Cena as old rivals both fighting for that big WrestleMania moment with Cody. Both stories will be great, so I can see either guy winning the Chamber. And given that, Jey VS Gunther was of course the path. The moment Jey got on the desk, I knew Gunther would attack. Good stuff there, with how Jey is choosing Gunther because how Gunther is trying to bully him and Jey isn’t backing down. I would think Pearce is going to use his authority to make sure Gunther and Jey don’t just brawl week after week since we’ve still got 68 days before WrestleMania.

Good promo from Penta to call out Dunne and Kaiser, and good promo from Dunne and Kaiser to set up Dunne VS Penta round 2. That’ll be a great match, but I feel like Kaiser will definitely go after Penta when it’s over. I was hoping there would be a Chad Gable lucha dark arts quest vignette, but I don’t even see anything on WWE’s social media. We need three of those to reflect the three acts of a play. We’ll get the introduction to who Dominik referred Gable to, then Gable being pushed to his limits in the training, and act three is Gable triumphantly mastering the “dark arts” and feeling he’s ready to face Penta. They could probably even pace it out so Gable VS Penta happens for either WrestleMania or the go-home to Mania.

Very good promo from Rhea to basically call out Charlotte. With the men’s top titles on a set path, it fits that they’ll keep us guessing a little longer with the women’s titles. And just as I predicted, Rhea is giving Iyo a title match to “make up” for Iyo not making Elimination Chamber. It’ll tease a change in plans, but I would think Rhea wins and retains one way or another. Iyo & Dakota VS Liv & Raquel was really good, and that was a great win for DMG CTRL. They really could give us Iyo & Dakota VS Liv & Raquel for the women’s tag titles when they spring the whodunnit reveal on us during Liv & Raquel VS Naomi & Bianca.

Bayley VS Lyra was awesome stuff, and with Lyra being Intercontinental Champion, it makes sense Bayley goes to Elimination Chamber. Lyra will have her feud with Ivy now, and that’ll be some good stuff. Creed Brothers VS War Raiders for the tag titles didn’t have a lot of hype making the match and therefore not really going into it tonight. It also lagged a little in the middle, but it was still a really good match. The Creeds do themselves a favor in terms of Heel Heat by throwing the match and beating the Raiders down. Surely, we’ll get a rematch from them at some point, and it’ll be much better.

Judgment Day had great stuff, even with Liv & Raquel losing. Great return promo from Styles, even with Dom interrupting, and I almost thought we could’ve gotten Dom VS Styles tonight. But no, that would’ve pushed things past 2.5 hours and Netflix can’t have that. Styles VS Dom next week will be fun, and Styles having that stare down with Bron was good stuff. That match is obviously going to be in the works, and it will be some really good stuff. The group promo where Finn is so against new members in the Judgment Day could be a fun new chapter in this faction’s story. On some level, it draws parallels to Bullet Club, and how Finn was “kicked out” by those new members. Actually, that’s a bit more literal, as I believe it was the Young Bucks and a double superkick…

Finn and Rollins had a good promo, and their match is going to be awesome, especially with it being for the final spot in the Chamber. Priest VS Braun VS Jacob Fatu determines the fifth spot, and while Finn and Priest still running into each other would be something, this has to be Rollins winning so he can interact with Punk and McIntyre again. And Finn losing will just add more fuel to the fire within Judgment Day to decide whether or not they still need Finn to win. Honestly, a more proper Judgment Day: Civil War could be something worthy of WrestleMania, where the new member(s) ironically join Finn against Dom, Carlito, Liv & Raquel.

My Score: 8.7/10

Mitchell’s AEW Collision Results & Report! (2/8/25)

Collisions ARE bigger in Texas!

Published

on

Will Houston be Undisputed?

While The Son of Texas, Dustin Rhodes, is in action in Houston, the big attraction is a Trios Triple Threat: Undisputed Kingdom VS 2Point0 VS Shane Taylor Promotions!

OFFICIAL RESULTS

  • Trios Triple Threat: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Daniel Garcia & 2Point0 VS Shane Taylor Promotions; The Undisputed Kingdom wins.
  • Bandido VS Bryan Keith; Bandido wins.
  • Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Ares Alexander, Jay Alexander & Brick Savage; LFI wins.
  • Dustin Rhodes VS Izzy James; Dustin wins.
  • Thunder Rosa VS Penelope Ford; Rosa wins.
  • Mariah May VS Shay Carmichael; Mariah wins.
  • Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe; Kyle wins.

PLAY BY PLAY

Mark Briscoe speaks.

“Tonight, it’s Kyle Fletcher, Mark Briscoe. Kyle, I know your type! You can’t handle your own business! You run around with that pack of wolves, the Don Callis Family! Hey, bring the whole family, line ’em up, I’ll knock ’em down! Tonight, it’s your ass! RAH RAH RAAAH!”

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

“Tonight, I am on a mission. A mission to right a wrong. Now Mark, I want you to see the entire Family is her tonight, because they will not be getting involved. I’ll do this on my own, because even on your best day, you do not come close to the Protostar’s level.” Brian Cage & Lance Archer seem confident, but newest Family member, Mark Davis, seems conflicted. Will the Aussie Arrow really shoot down the Sussex County Chicken this close to Grand Slam: Australia?

 

Someone chucks security!?

It’s Marina Shafir! And that’s because she’s leading the way for Jon Moxley! The fans boo as The Maniac throws a fit, but then Marina snatches a mic for him. Moxley says this show starts when he says it starts! And he is getting a little sick of the Rated R Superstar! Adam Copeland wants a shot at the AEW World Champion? Mox bets he does. Cope thinks he can throw his weight around, but he can’t! He has no power here! Moxley has a list of 1000 reasons why he won’t give Cope a title shot. The fans boo, but Moxley says he has 1000 reasons, but we’ll stick to the simplest one: Moxley doesn’t like Cope.

Moxley doesn’t like anything about Cope! Cope doesn’t know a single thing about Moxley, or about AEW, or about being AEW World Champion. Cope can take his challenge and stick it up his ass! But if it’s a fight he wants, Moxley will do it any time, any place! Here at the Marriott, in Toronto, in Cincinnati, in Asheville, or even next week on Collision in Australia! Let’s do that! Bring Jay White and Mox will whoop his ass, too! Bring that half-broken neck, bring White, and Moxley will whip both their asses! They just better hope and pray that Moxley has the grace to let them walk out of Australia on their own two feet!

If Mox decides it’s time to break Cope’s neck, Cope ain’t coming back! Moxley then drops the mic and storms off, Marina following him out. Is that Moxley making a threat? Or is he just trying to avoid a title match he might lose?

 

Trios Triple Threat: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Daniel Garcia & 2Point0 VS Shane Taylor Promotions!

Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong want to prove they’re the strongest trio in AEW, so they’ll be taking on some strong competition! They got the better of Red Death, Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange, and they got the better of Shane Taylor and The Infantry, but can they beat both teams at once? Or will tonight be anything but undisputed?

The trios sort out, and in this kind of Triple Threat, only two teams are legal. Roddy and Shane start, they tie up, and Roddy slips around to a headlock. Shane blocks on size alone, and he THROWS Roddy away! Roddy comes back to CHOP! Roddy CHOPS again, bobs ‘n’ weaves, but Shane blocks a shot to JAB! Shane talks trash, whips Roddy to ropes, but Roddy ducks ‘n’ dodges. Roddy then stops to BOOT Shane, ENZIGIRI, and he tags Kyle. Roddy & Kyle CHOP and KICK on repeat! They double whip Shane, but Shane DOUBLE LARIATS back! The fans are torn but Shane taunts Cole with, “SHANE TAYLOR, B*TCH!

The fans boo but Shane puts Kyle in the STP corner. Tag to Carlie Bravo, he tags Shawn Dean, then Dean sends Carlie in to forearm SMASH! Then the repeat, forearm smash! Dean adds an ELBOW, then a LARIAT! Dean covers, ONE, but Dean keeps Kyle with a facelock. Dean whips, Kyle grabs ropes, Daddy Magic tags in! Kyle kicks Carlie back, then Kyle and Menard DOUBLE SHOULDER Carlie! They argue now, but Dean SHOVES Menard into Kyle! Kyle tumbles out, Dean ROCKS Menard, then whips. Menard reverses and ELBOWS Dean down! The fans fire up for Daddy Magic and he fires up with them!

Menard CHOPS Dean, pushes him to the open corner, then he tags Parker. Parker whips Menard so Menard can send Parker in, forearm SMASH! Drop toehold! BOOYAH ELBOW! The fans fire up and Parker brings Dean around for a whip. Parker ROCKS Dean, whips again, and ROCKS Dean once more! Dean whips, Cole tags off Parker, Parker sends Dean into a BOOT! Cole and Parker fist bump in respect, Menard jumps on commentary real quick to say this is some 2-for-1 action tonight! Collision is live from coast to coast like butter on toast! Cole fireman’s carries Dean, Dean fires forearms, and Dean RAMS Cole into the STP corner!

STP mugs Cole, the fans boo, but Menard says this is what he’s talking about. Dean tags Carlie, the Infantry brings Cole out to scoop, but Cole slips free! Cole shoves Dean into Carlie, Garcia tags in! The fans fire up as the TNT Champion rallies on the Infantry! Menard is all fired up as Garcia rains down fists on Dean! But Carlie makes the save, only for Garcia to add Carlie to it! Garcia rains down fists on The Infantry, and he goes to nine, winds up, and hits TEN! The fans fire up again, but here comes Shane! Garcia says bring it! Shane swings, Garcia ducks to fire back! Garcia then gets around but Shane fights the saido!

Shane CLUBS Garcia, Dean trips him, and then Dean SLAMS Garcia on the apron! Carlie goes to the apron for a GUILLOTINE KNEE DROP! Menard hops off commentary to reinforce his team, but Shane still hits a GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! STP stands tall and talks trash while Collision goes picture in picture.

Shane drags Garcia up, whips him hard into railing, and Garcia flounders to the commentary desk. The Infantry drags Garcia up, but Menard & Parker rush in! They all brawl, the ref reprimands, but Carlie puts Garcia in. Carlie JABS Garcia again and again in the corner, then pops, locks and CHOPS! Garcia sputters, Shane tags in, and they put Garcia in the open corner. Shane stomps Garcia, stands him up, then CHOPS! Garcia is stinging again but Shane stands over him. The ref reprimands, Shane backs off just to talk trash on the other teams. Shane stands Garcia up, but Garcia fires forearm after forearm! Shane’s BODY SHOT takes Garcia right down!

Tag to Dean, he and Shane mug Garcia, then Dean stands Garcia up. Menard rallies the fans but Dean CHOKES Garcia on ropes! Dean lets off, and Carlie gets a cheap shot in! Dean covers, TWO! Dean tags Shane, Shane stomps Garcia, then Shane stalks Garcia to ropes. Carlie talks trash on Garcia while Shane stands him up. Garcia fires forearms and CHOPS! Garcia runs, but Shane CLOBBERS him! Shane shakes his head, talks trash on 2Point0, then he drags Garcia up. Shane mockingly holds out Garcia’s hand to The Undisputed Kingdom, then he scuffs Garcia. Shane slaps Garcia around, and Collision returns to single picture.

The fans rally for Garcia as Shane stands him up. Garcia fires forearms! The fans fire up, but Shane ROCKS Garcia! Shane scoops, but Garcia slips free! SAIDO!! The fans are thunderous while Shane and Garcia are both down! Garcia crawls, but The Infantry YANK Menard & Parker down! The fans boo, but Carlie tags in to drag Garcia up. Garcia JAWBREAKERS free! Dean tags in, he snatches Garcia into a SLEEPER! Garcia JAWBREAKERS again! Carlie tries, Garcia dodges, hot tag to Kyle! The Violent Artist BOOTS Carlie, then he tags Roddy! STRONG KNEE for Dean! Tag to Cole, SUPERKICK for Shane! Then they DOUBLE LARIAT Shane up and out!

The fans fire up as Cole rallies on Carlie! BOOT and Carlie falls again! Cole fireman’s carries Carlie for the USHIGOROSHI! The fans are fired up again, Strong KNEE for Dean! Kyle suplexes, CHASING THE DRAGON! Cole gives Carlie the GHOSTBUSTER! Cover, MENARD BREAKS IT! Roddy CLUBS Menard, Menard hits a CUTTER! Kyle hits AX & SMAHS on Menard, Parker has Kyle in a Gory Especial! GORY BOMB for Kyle! But Dean hits a TIGER BACKBREAKER on Parker! Garcia DROPKICKS Dean! Shane blocks Garcia’s kick to KNEE him down! Cole SUPERKICKS Shane down again!

The fans are thunderous with’ ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” But Carlie rolls him up! TWO!! DOUBLE LARIATS take both men down! The fans are thunderous as all nine men are down around ringside! The trios regroup, “This is Awesome!” as they all rise up. Then it’s a brawl! The fans are thunderous as things spill out, but Parker blocks Cole’s kick! Menard joins in, they give Cole a DOUBLE DDT! Roddy runs up, 2Point0 gets him! But Kyle saves Roddy from the double DDT! They each knee low, then Roddy hoists Menard up! Kyle climbs, BACKBREAKER KNEE DROP COMBO! Garcia LARIATS Roddy!

Kyle fires off a strike fest on Garcia! Garcia avoids a sweep, clamps onto Kyle, but Kyle breaks free! Garcia CHOPS Kyle, then SAIDOS! The fans fire up again, but The Infantry runs up! They dodge Garcia’s double lariats, then fire off the Cap & Winter Soldier combo! Then TWO TO THE HEAD! But Parker BOOTS Dean, and baits Carlie into TOSSING him out hard! Shane is up to HEADBUTT Parker! Shane tucks Parker in, MARCUS GARVEY DRIVER!! But he gets a PENALTY KICK from Kyle! Then the Kingdom all aims at him! SUPERKICK, STRONG KNEE AND ROLLING ELBOW!! Shane falls and Roddy WRECKS him with a dropkick!

Kyle FLYING KNEES Shane on the outside, then they hit TOTAL ANNIHILATION to the floor! Carlie runs at Cole, Cole gets him with 52 Fake Out! Cole goes up, Carlie avoids the Panama Sunrise, only for a SUPERKICK to find him! Cole then brings down the kneepads, for THE BOOM!! Cover, Undisputed Kingdom wins!

Winners: The Undisputed Kingdom, by pinfall

It’s all about the Boom, and that makes this match undisputed! Garcia realizes he was too little, too late. Cole wants to show Garcia respect, but then THE DEATH RIDERS ATTACK! Namely, Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli & Pac! The AEW World Trios Champions beat down everyone, but especially focus on The Kingdom! Cole, Kyle & Roddy want to be the best trio, but the titles belong to the Death Riders. Claudio has a mic to say, “I just came out here to personally congratulate you on your victory. But more importantly, to remind everyone who the real best trio is around here.”

Pac & Yuta sit Cole up and Claudio says sorry, Cole, he couldn’t hear that over the ass whopping they just gave his team. Cole says you picked the fight with the wrong trio! Oh, is that so? But then STRONG KNEE outta nowhere! The fans fire up as the tides have turned! Kyle has Yuta in an ANKLE LOCK, and Yuta TAPS! Cole sends Pac running, but Claudio drags Yuta to safety! The Death Riders regroup and retreat, but Cole grabs the mic. Cole says he is so damn sick and tired of the Death Riders thinking they can do whatever they want! Cole reminds us that he said in 2025, they’d prove themselves as THE BEST trio in AEW!

So next week, Cole looks to cash in on that promise! The fans like where this is going. Next week, Dynamite, FOR the Trios Championships, Undisputed Kingdom VS Death Riders! And Cole swears to God, he promises on everything he believes in, the Kingdom will whip some ass and become the champions! THAT is undisputed! TK calls in, that match is approved! Will Cole, Kyle & Roddy be the three that free these Trios Championships from the Death Riders?

 

FTR speaks.

Those three letters represent THE top guys in tag team wrestling. Whether AEW, ROH, NJPW, Mexico, and every major promotion across the world, these tow have been champions. For far too long, their greatness was forgotten, and they’ve taken a backseat to others. That ends now. The three letters, F T R, should represent the greatest team to ever do it. To make that a reality, they need to get the AEW World Tag Team Championships for a third time. Whoever are the champions, this message is for you. FTR is back. #TopGuysOut.

 

Backstage interview with Max Caster.

Alicia Atout is with Platinum Max and he makes sure to add, “Best Wrestler Alive.” Alicia brings up last Wednesday night, Caster provoking while his Open Challenge is ongoing. Caster says Hangman got angry at him when all he wanted to do was have his interview. The people wanna hear from the Best Wrestler Alive, and Hangman was taking forever. Caster simply asked Hangman to please hurry up, and Hangman got angry. That’s not how a man asks. Let’s not call him “Hangman,” this is “Hangperson.” And so if Hangperson wants to go a round with Caster, get in line, because his open challenge is going on. And thanks for mentioning that, Alicia.

So, who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? We’re gonna see this week on Dynamite! Caster will show everyone that you can’t be better than the best, and that is a mic drop! He even drops Alicia’s mic to prove it. But will Caster regret leaving the door open to an angry Cowboy?

 

Bandido VS Bryan Keith!

Speaking of angry cowboys, The Most Wanted finally returns to in-ring action, and he’s up against The Bad Apple! Will Bandido clear a path back to the ROH World Championship? Or will the Bounty Hunter collect on that $200,000 Chris Jericho has promised?

The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Bandido and Keith stare down, and then they fire forearms! The fans cheer this shootout, Bandido knees low, but Keith throws his poncho at him! Keith BOOTS Bandido down and the fans are torn. Bandido gets up, throws the poncho back, and he headlocks. Keith powers up to throw Bandido down! Keith runs, Bandido stays low, but Keith then whips him. Bandido dodges the boot, Keith dodges the handspring, but Bandido aims his finger gun. Keith swats it, Bandido dodges the lariat, to then slip around and arm-drag! Keith goes to a corner, but he dodges Bandido.

Keith runs back up, but Bandido pops Keith up! Bandido then throws Keith back, Keith rolls to his feet, but Bandido DROPKICKS him down! The fans fire up while Keith shakes out the stars. Bandido storms up, LA MAGISTROL, TWO! Keith escapes, but Bandido drags him up. Keith CHOPS, the fans rally, and Keith pie faces Bandido. Bandido CHOPS Keith, then eggs him on. Keith CHOPS, Bandido CHOPS back, and the fans “WOO~!” Keith kicks low, whips Bandido to a corner, but Bandido goes up and out! GAMANGIRI! Keith staggers, Bandido goes up, and CROSS- SOBAT!! Keith takes Bandido outta the sky!

The fans are torn but Keith has a wild look in his eyes while Collision goes picture in picture.

Keith soaks up cheers and jeers while Bandido bails out. Keith slides out the side, runs in around the way, and he BOOTS Bandido down! Bandido sputters while Keith seethes. Keith stalks Bandido, refreshes the ring count, then he drags Bandido up. Keith puts Bandido in the ring, stalks him some more, then stands Bandido up. Bandido fires body shots, then whips Keith. Keith reverses, then runs to BULLDOG! That’s a very Jericho looking move! Bandido flounders, Keith whips him again, SLIDING him out to the floor! Bandido writhes but Keith has another wild look in the eyes. Keith soaks up some more heat while Bandido crawls to the ring.

Bandido stands, rolls in at 7 of 10, but Keith is on him with a rain of fists! The ref counts, Keith whips Bandido to ropes, and he FLAPJACKS Bandido down! Keith pushes Bandido to a cover, TWO! Bandido is still in this while Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and the two clinch. Keith power sup to EXPLODER, but Bandido makes it a sunset flip! TWO, and Keith runs up, into a KNEE! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, then goes up, up, and TORNILLO! The fans fi reup as Bandido then pops Keith up to a military press! ONE ARM! Then the SLAM!! Cover, TWO! Keith survives and Bandido is surprised, but the fans fire up again! Bandido feeds off that energy and aims at the ropes! Bandido runs, but Keith LARIATS Bandido first! Keith goes to a corner, aims at Bandido, and he runs in, only for Bandido to BOOT! Bandido goes up, Keith RISING HEADBUTTS!

Keith roars, the fans are torn, and Keith climbs! Keith and Bandido fight, but Keith ROCKS Bandido! Keith clinches on the top rope, for a SUPER EXPLODER!! The fans are thunderous while both men are down! The fans duel, and Keith rises! Keith storms up on Bandido to CHOP! CHOP! And CHOP! The fans “WOO~!” and Keith fires up, but Bandido CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Then SUPERKICK! Keith ENZIGIRIS! Both men stagger, the fans fire up more, and both men stand back to back. They both turn around to look at each other, and they nod! They take five paces and go to the corners! Then they run up, DOUBLE SHOTGUN DROPKICKS!!

The fans are thunderous again, it’s a standing ovation in Houston! Keith rises first, but he and Bandido go forehead to forehead. They stand, and Keith underhooks the arms! Bandido wrenches out, but Keith ROCKS him! Keith runs, but Bandido scoops him! Torture rack and FLIPPING KNEE! Keith staggers, he isn’t asleep yet! But Bandido aims his finger gun, and BANG! Keith rises, into the BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, BANDIDO WINS!

Winner: Bandido, by pinfall

No prize money for the Bounty Hunter, this bandit is just that good! But will the Most Wanted get what he wants in a title match with The Nueve?

 

Backstage interview with “Powerhouse” Hobbs.

Lexy Nair is with Will Hobbs and says he asked for this time. What’d he like to say? Hobbs says hey to Big Bill, rubbing in that Keith didn’t collect his bounty. And guess what? Hobbs will be in Texas all week long. He’ll be looking for a fight, and maybe in Austin, Bill actually gives Hobbs a fight. Or maybe the Big Redwood is just a big baby. Hobbs has called out the rest of The Learning Tree’s Branches, will he cut them all down?

 

Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Ares Alexander, Jay Alexander & Brick Savage!

Rush y Dralistico made their return, and they want not just Beast Mortos but ALL of AEW to understand, that when you mess with the bull, you get the horns! Will LFI look to stampede through the Trios Division now that they’re reunited?

The trios sort out, and the fans cheer on “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Instead, we get Dralistico and Ares Alexander. But then Dralistico tags out to Mortos, and Mortos CLOBBERS Ares! And SMACKS him! Mortos whips Ares to then POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Tag to Dralistico, springboard CODE BREAKER! Tag back to Mortos, they BLAST Jay and Brick! The fans fire up as Dralistico tags Rush! Rush storms around, the fans cheer him on, “If you mess with the bull, you get the horns!” BULL’S HORNS!! Ares is almost sent out of the ring! Mortos pushes him back in, Rush covers, LFI wins!!

Winners: La Faccion Ingobernable, by pinfall

The other guys didn’t even get to tag in! And now LFI mugs Ares! Jay is furious that they’re doing this to his brother, so he and Brick get in! Brick DOUBLE CHOPS Dralistico & Mortos, only to get a CHOP, HEADBUTT, and SPIN KICK! Jay runs up, Rush blocks his knee to HEADBUTT him down! LFI deals with Brick and the Alexander Brothers with ease, but they’re not down! They beat Jay down, but here comes Komander! Wait, what can one do against there? He still springboards to FLYING POISON-RANA Mortos!! Then he dodges Rush y Dralistico to jump off Dralistico and RANA Rush! Then Komander fires off on Dralistico!

The SOBAT knocks Dralistico down, then he builds speed. But Dralistico trips Komander, YANKS him out, and then sends him back in for Rush. Rush CLAWS at Komander’s mask! The fans boo, but then the lights go down! And when the lights come up, it’s HOLOGRAM! LFI took him down, but he has rebuilt himself, rebooted the system, and “upgrade complete!” Four months away but he looks better than ever! SUPERKICK for Dralistico! Then he jumps over Mortos to DROPKICK Rush out of the ring! Then he tilt-o-whirls and DEJA VU RANAS Mortos! Mortos gets back up, but runs into a CRASH COURSE from Hologram!

Hologram and Komander stand tall together, then build speed! They DOUBLE TOPE CONJILO!! The brawling continues, and Rush has a chair! Rush wants to smash someone but the refs stop him! Rush snarls, drops the chair, but then he DECKS a ref!! The fans are torn but Jake the Snake will have to handle that fine for Rush. But will Rush’s rampage continue until LFI are on top of AEW?

 

Backstage interview with Megan Bayne.

Well, Lexy tries to get Megasus to respond, but she just keeps walking. Thunder Rosa is there to welcome Megan to AEW. Megan ignores the high-five so Rosa says okay, she’s not about that. That’s fine. So much for Southern Hospitality. Rosa tells Lexy that Megan is superbad, too. Megan just got here, and she’s so mad! But whatever, we’re in Texas! And everyone knows about Texas hospitality! And tonight, Ford gets that “hospitality” because Rosa will make sure she has a memory that lasts. Let’s get ready to kick some butt! Rosa is all fired up, will she wrangle Penelope Ford like it’s a rodeo?

 

Harley Cameron is in the ring.

The wild Aussie has a couple guitars and a big puffy pink jacket as she welcomes Houston to the Harley Halftime Show! Ladies and gentlemen, she didn’t come alone. Oh, no no! Please say hello to PUPPET MERCEDES! Harley takes off her jacket and turns around to reveal her Muppet of Mercedes Mone is riding in her backpack! The fans cheer and Harley says Puppet Mone is a tiny lil’ baby. Now to kick things off, here’s a song you may know too well. It’s called the Money Train. Harley starts strumming the guitar, and she sings a long R&B note. The fans cheer, Harley sings she wants to RIIIDE~ the Money Train~!

The phone lights come out already as Harley repeats “The Money Train” again and again, but then the REAL Mercedes Mone interrupts! Mone is wearing the TBS and NJPW Strong titles while carrying the Rev-Pro and Queen of Southside belts. Mone has a mic to ask Harley, “Are you stupid? Or are you dumb? Nobody came out here to watch the Harley Halftime Show!” NO, they’re all to see #FourBeltsMone. So Houstooooooon~! Please say hello to your C  E O! The fans boo instead. Mone tells Harley that she doesn’t know how many times she has to tell her, but she is nothing but a l- LEGEND!! Harley cuts Mone off there and the fans cheer.

And with that said, Harley would like to begin her second song! “Hello, it’s good to see you, Miss Mercedes Mone. You’ve got four belts? Well I’ve got one dream! So, what do you say~? You come out here tonight, cut me off, and if I’m being blunt. I think the way you’re acting, well, are a cuuunning woman~!” And Harley will say it now, Mone is just afraid to feel the WRATH! THE WRATH! THE WRATH! The fans join in, “FEEL THE WRATH!” and Mone sarcastically plays along, until she grabs the guitar! The fans boo but Mone tells Harley to shut up. Harley is so talented, super talented, but let’s get real. If there’s anything real about Harley!

Mone doesn’t know why Harley wants a match with Mone when that little puppet on her back can wrestle better. So Harley needs to get out of her ring, because Harley is NOT on Mone’s level. Harley has the fans on her side as she tells Mone, “You’ore right. You’re right.” Harley is new to this. She can only ever dream to achieve in her career what Mone already has in AEW. But Harley has fought so hard to be here where she is today, and she’s NOT stopping! The fans cheer that! Harley would love nothing more than to face Mone in Australia, in her home city in her home country! And for the TBS Championship!

Mone is a game changer, yes, but Harley has to admit. In Mone’s whole career, the most entertaining that she’s ever been… is when Harley had her hand up Mone’s puppet ass!! The fans fire up for that! But Mone SLAPS Harley! The fans boo, but Harley gets pissed now! Harley shouts FEEL THE WRATH, then she DECKS Mone with the mic!! Mone bails out, grabs a new mic, and with the fans chanting Harley’s name, Mone says if Harley wants her shot at Grand Slam, then she’s on! But one more thing: Mone can’t wait to embarrass Harley in front of her friends, her family, and show the world why she IS the CEO!

Mone leaves, but Harley is just fired up to have the match she wants! Will she also take that title off Mone to finally be the Face of TBS?

 

Lexy Nair moderates the Continental Championship face-to-face.

She has Buddy Matthews with her, but Kazuchika Okada is clearly absent. Lexy says this was meant to be the face-to-face, so if Buddy wishes, they can proceed. Buddy says go ahead. Lexy asks Buddy what it’d mean if- Oh, NOW Okada shows up. The Rainmaker takes his seat, gets mic’d up, and asks for a water. Lexy thanks Okada for taking the time to join them. She wants to ask about the title match, but Buddy says he’ll handle this. Buddy scoots up and says they’ll cut to the chase: “In Brisbane, Australia, you and I will face each other. Australia’s best versus Japan’s best. But I haven’t fallen for this BS comedy facade that you’re playing.

“See, I know what the real Okada’s all about, and I know what he’s capable of doing. But I’m not sure he knows what I’m capable of doing.” The people stand by Buddy. Australia stands by Buddy! So it is time for Buddy to beat Okada for that title. Okada needs to look Buddy in the eyes and say if he thinks Buddy believes this or this is just some fake facade that Buddy’s playing. Buddy and Okada both stand up, and then Okada laughs. “B*TCH!” Buddy fakes a punch and Okada flinches! Buddy pats Okada on the shoulder, and tells him, “I’ll see you in Brisbane.” Buddy leaves, the staffer shows up with the water, but Okada throws it down.

Okada is furious that Buddy got the better of him, but will Okada get serious once the bell rings?

 

Dustin Rhodes VS Izzy James!

The Natural is still fuming from everything MJF did and said just last Wednesday. Dustin looks to get his hands on that scumbag in Austin, but what will happen here in Houston? The bell rings, Dustin circles with Izzy and ties up. But then Izzy knees low, mocks the deep breath, then whips. Dustin slips around the lariat to then dragon sleeper! CROSS RHODES!! Dustin isn’t done, he hauls Izzy up to hit the FINAL RECKONING! Cover, Dustin wins!

Winner: Dustin Rhodes, by pinfall

And with that, Dustin grabs himself a mic! “Maxwell Jacob Friedman. You call yourself ‘The Devil.’ You’re not the devil. As I told you last week, I went to Hell, I looked at the Devil in his eyes, and I kicked his teeth in! And I ripped, teared, and crawled my way out! And the reason why is because I am a survivor! I AM the 56-year-old Last of My Kind! And Max, while you’re sitting at home in your recliner right now in Long Island, New York, I want you to know something. Every thing in your brain right now thinks that you’re gonna do to me, I’ve already done. Five DECADES. Blood, sweat, and tears, and passion, something you do not have!

“And guess what, Max? I am still here! Next week, in MY backyard of Austin, Texas, AEW Dynamite, I am going to drag you to hell, and you are gonna meet the actual devil! And I will give you a Texas sized ass whooping for the ages!” The fans like that! Dustin has a question for MJF: After MJF gets out of this business, will it remember him? Because it damn sure will remember Dustin! The fans are fired up, will MJF regret messing with this Son of Texas?

 

The Death Riders speak.

The Bastard says, “Finally, finally, finally! We have been the Trios Champions for what feels like an eternity, and there have been very, very few individuals who have had the guts, the bullocks, to stand up to the Death Riders. Well, gentlemen, we welcome your challenge. From true professionals, none the less. But understand this: We are the elite of the elite. And this week on Dynamite, we look forward to making an example out of you.” Claudio adds that the Kingdom has teeth, and he respects that. They have something worth the Death Riders’ time. Too bad the Death Riders will just have to pull those teeth out.

Claudio says they are the absolute BEST at this! Claudio leads the way out, and Yuta just adds a cocky grin. Will the Death Riders be unstoppable in their reign of terror?

 

Thunder Rosa VS Penelope Ford!

La Mera Mera is ready to rope ‘n’ ride, and she even has the Houston Texans’ Toro by her side! But will Rosa be running hot towards a title opportunity in the near future? Or will everything be superbad tonight?

Rosa hits a BACKSTABBER, then she reels Ford in! Rosa tucks the arms, picks her up, TIJAUNA BOMB! Cover, Rosa wins!

Winner: Thunder Rosa, by pinfall

Rosa says this one’s for Texas! But hold on, Megan Bayne is making her way out here? Rosa isn’t sure why The Megasus is stepping on her moment when all she wanted to do was welcome her to AEW. Megan goes right to the ring and Rosa says fine, bring it! Megan stares down Rosa, but then Ford CLOBBERS Rosa! Ford dribbles Rosa off the mat, CHOKES her, HAMMERS her, but Megan just lets her! The fans boo, and Ford leaves the scrapes for Megan. Megan takes her headdress off, picks Rosa up, and fireman’s carries! “BOW DOWN!” F5!! Megan stands tall over Rosa, will she soon stand atop the mountain in AEW?

 

AEW shares footage from last night’s DEFY Wrestling show.

Ricochet returned to DEFY as it held a show in Seattle, Washington, and he talked a lot of trash while wearing the robe he stole from Prince Nana & Swerve Strickland last Wednesday. But little did he know, SWERVE would show up! Swerve attacked, Ricochet ran away, but not for long as NANA put Ricochet back in the ring! Ricochet find another way to escape and kept the robe on his person! When and where will Swerve get his revenge on Ricochet?

 

Backstage interview with Bun B.

Lexy is with Houston’s living legend, the hit singer and entrepreneur, and welcomes him to the show. They have his burgers as part of catering, and it is fantastic. How does it feel to be back in AEW? Bun B says it’s always great to have AEW back in Texas. They’re all big fans here, they can’t wait for All In: Texas. But then Ricochet interrupts? He asks what this is. Oh, he knows now! This is Bun B, Trill Burgers, America’s best! And he’s a friend of Swerve’s, right? Well, if Bun B hasn’t been watching, but AEW is no longer Swerve’s House. It is now Ricochet’s! And Mr. B, but since you’re here, all these burgers now belong to Ricochet, too.

Ricochet says if they don’t mind, he wants to try one of America’s best. Ricochet says it looks aight. He takes a bite, and then SPITS IT OUT! This is what they’re serving? It’s trash! There are much better burgers out there. The server says everyone else likes them. Ricochet asks what that guy just said. W-Well, they like them… Oh, everyone else likes them? He DRAGS this guy onto the table and asks who he is to talk to Ricochet like that! Bun B tells Ricochet to stop that. Ricochet tells B to back off. B may be close to Swerve, but tell him and Nana, “Thanks for the jacket.” HAHA! Ricochet leaves, but is he only heaping fuel on the fire?

 

Mariah May VS Shay Carmichael!

The AEW Women’s World Champion is calling this her “Glamorous Exhibition Match,” because she clearly doesn’t think this will be that hard on her. Will Mariah be more than ready for Grand Slam: Australia and the threat Toni Storm poses?

Whoa, Mariah SHOTGUNS Shay the moment she’s in the ring! The fans boo but Mariah sits Shay up for a RUNNING KNEE! The fans boo more, but Mariah just smiles. Mariah stands Shay up, fireman’s carries, and she hits MAYDAY!! Cover, Mariah wins!

Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall

Toni Schiavone has a good point: Shay’s hair is a bit like Toni’s, could this be a case of Mariah taking her frustrations out on an innocent young wrestler? Wait, what’s in the fancy handbag? Mariah opens it up, and she brings out a black satin robe. Mariah dresses Shay up in it, so now she really looks like Timeless Toni! Mariah smears red lipstick all over Shay’s face, then SHOVES her down! The fans boo Mariah more, but wait! LUTHER THE BUTLER is here! The fans cheer as Luther goes right to the ring, a tray in hand. He pulls away the napkin, to present a SHOE~! Mariah is freaking out, but then she swings on Luther!

Luther gets away, but the warning is clear! Mariah huffs ‘n’ puffs and goes back for Shay, but SURPRISE~! It’s the REAL Toni Storm! Mariah has seen a ghost, and Toni HEADBUTTS her down! Mariah runs away but Toni pursues! Toni catches her at the barriers, SMACKS her off the steps, then drags her up! Toni reels Mariah in, but Mariah scrambles free! Mariah runs away into the night, but Luther carries Toni away on his shoulders. With just one week left before their All In: London rematch, will it truly be Toni Time once again?

 

Something’s going on backstage!

The Don Callis Family is rampaging against random AEW prospects, and even security! The Murder Machines are having fun, but Mark Davis doesn’t seem to even try. Cage tells Davis that he’s Don Callis Family now! Get your hands dirty! That’s a fact of life. Davis snarls, and he uses a monitor to SMASH one of the randos! Cage TOSSES another over road cases, and Davis drags Jon Cruz up to TOSS him into trash! Archer says it’s DCF VS Everybody, and EVERYBODY DIES! Kyle Fletcher said he won’t need these guys to help him against Mark Briscoe, but will that be true? Or will Mark prove the Continental Classic win wasn’t a fluke?

 

Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe!

The Continental Classic’s round robin phase was almost perfect for The Protostar, if not for getting caught by #DemBoys. Kyle claims that was all a fluke and it’ll never happen again. But will the Aussie Arrow miss the Mark again? Or will he be able to #ManUp before Grand Slam: Australia?

The bell rings and Kyle BOOTS Mark right down! The fans boo but Kyle soaks it all up. Kyle goes to Mark, Mark fires a body shot but Kyle ROCKS Mark. Kyle stomps away in the corner, but lets off as the ref counts 4. The fans boo more while Kyle paces. Kyle storms up on Mark, CHOPS him, then reels him in for a scoop and SLAM! Mark writhes and crawls to the ropes while Kyle soaks up more heat. Kyle stalks Mark, drags him up, and wrenches to whip. Mark goes up, around, and ROCKS Kyle with a forearm! Mark CHOPS, fires more shots, then whips. Kyle reverses, but Mark grabs ropes! Mark ELBOWS Kyle, then TOSSES him!

The fans fire up and Mark builds speed, to DIVE! CANNONBALL TOPE and it’s a direct hit! Houston is all fired up with Mark, and then Mark grabs a chair. Mark tosses the chair in, then brings out a TABLE! Houston fires up even more, but the ref tells Mark this isn’t that kind of match! Mark doesn’t care, he still sets the table up. Kyle hobbles around, rolls into the ring, and the fans chant, “We Want Tables!” Mark finishes with the furniture to then run in at Kyle. Kyle ELBOWS back, goes up, but Mark UPPERCUTS! Kyle tumbles to the apron then staggers around on the floor. Mark builds speed to WRECK Kyle with a dropkick!

The fans fire up even more as Mark takes aim. BANG BANG, FOLEY ELBOW- NO, Kyle catches Mark! And he pops Mark around to LAWN DART him into the post! Mark falls in a heap, Kyle tells the ref to shut it, then he flexes while he soaks up more heat. The fans boo but Kyle refreshes the ring count. Kyle sits Mark up to show how he’s busted open. Kyle kisses the bloody wound, then he APRON POWERBOMBS Mark! Mark falls in a heap, Kyle soaks up more heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Mark crawls while the blood drips to the floor. Kyle flexes while he soaks up even more heat, and he wants on Mark. Mark slowly rises, but Kyle comes back around the outside. Mark makes it to the apron, only for Kyle to hit a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Mark flops back down, and Kyle tells the ref to hold on. Kyle whips Mark hard into railing! Kyle then sees Mark’s table, and he gets an idea. Kyle brings Mark up, puts him in the ring, and then he positions the table a bit closer to the ring. Kyle brings Mark up through the ropes, then to the apron. But Mark throws body shots! Mark has the fans fire dup, but Kyle stops the suplex!

Kyle tries but Mark fights the suplex! They both fight for control, but Mark then slips into the ring. Mark UPPERCUTS Kyle, and Kyle holds onto the ropes! Mark UPPERCUTS again, Kyle flails more! Mark UPPERCUTS and Kyle has to switch hands! Mark runs, but Kyle slips in and ELBOWS him down! Kyle has a sinister grin, then he rains down fists. The ref counts, but Kyle just hammers away on the bloody forehead! Kyle stops to admire the blood on his hands, and he paints his chest with it. Mark flounders to a corner, sputters through the crimson mask, and Kyle mocks the fans. Kyle goes back to Mark, but Mark CHOPS!

Mark CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Kyle scoops to SLAM! Mark writhes while Kyle mockingly encourages the fans to get louder. Kyle stalks Mark, stands on his neck in the corner, but steps off as the ref counts. Collision returns to single picture, and the fans rally for Mark while Kyle taunts him. Mark stands, but Kyle kick shim! And BOOTS him! Kyle fires forearms, but Mark fires back! The fans fire up as the shots go back and forth, again and again! Mark gets the edge, he ROCKS Kyle, then roars! But Kyle BOOTS him again! Kyle runs, but Mark dodges! Kyle dodges, both men keep going, DOUBLE LARIATS turn both men inside-out!

Kyle climbs up now, and he suplexes, but Mark lands out!

Mark CLUBS Kyle, then straitjacket and torture racks! But Kyle grabs the ref’s shirt! The ref slaps Kyle’s arm away, Kyle ands out, and he dodges Mark!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall

Mark’s win in the C2 was not a fluke, but Kyle made sure this one wasn’t, either! It was bloody and brutal, but Kyle then grabs a mic to say, “I told you…! I told you…! I proved tonight that Mark Briscoe’s win over me was a fluke! And in one week, I do the same to Ospreay!” The fans boo but Kyle says not only Ospreay, but Kyle will prove that the Best Bout Machine & The Aerial Assassin are no longer the future, but that the future stands RIGHT HERE! And it is The Protostar, KYLE…! FLETCHER!! The Aussie Arrow is as dangerous and confident as ever, but will he and The Alpha really win the Grand Slam tag team dream match? Or will the be beat by the Best Bout Bruvs?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision, especially as a partial go-home to Grand Slam next Saturday. The cold open promos from Kyle and Mark were really good, but I’m still not a fan of cold open promos because they have to be quick and yet I can’t keep up with them that quickly. I do appreciate we got Mark Davis being a reluctant member of the Don Callis Family to help add to what we saw on Dynamite. Davis is clearly only in this to get back at Ospreay for Ospreay not being a better friend and all that, so he didn’t want to beat up on randos just because. And then Kyle VS Mark was an awesome and wild main event. Great win for Kyle, but that’s because Ospreay & Omega are gonna win at Grand Slam now.

Very good promo segment from Okada and Buddy to hype their match, and maybe Buddy wins, but I guess it really depends on how the Aussie win-loss record is gonna split. Harley Cameron and Mercedes Mone had a very good segment, though I thought we were going to get more songs from Harley before Mone interrupted. Harley getting the title match she wants is a great moment, but I’m thinking this means she loses her match. Mariah of course beat up her opponent tonight, but that was a great little surprise with Luther and Toni. The go-home math builds towards Mariah winning, but if anyone were to defy that expectation, it’s Toni Storm.

Moxley and Marina showing up to basically start the show was pretty wild, but what kind of promo was that from Moxley? Did he forget that just three days ago, Jay White made it clear it was going to be White & Cope VS Moxley & Claudio in a tag match? The way he worded it made it seem like he forgot, or like he was trying to make it his idea, not theirs. But we got better stuff from Claudio, Pac & Yuta after that great Trios Triple Threat. I figured the Undisputed Kingdom would win, and we’ll get an awesome Trios Championship match. I could see the Kingdom winning so as to put the Death Riders on the defensive with only the world title left.

Good stuff from the Ricochet VS Swerve story. Tying DEFY Wrestling into this is great, as well as having Bun B get in on that backstage promo. Revolution is definitely the goal for the Ricochet VS Swerve rematch, and I would think they up it with No Disqualifications and the robe being the unofficial prize. Good promo from Caster to call out “Hangperson,” but I would think Hangman does answer the Open Challenge for Dynamite. Dustin of course got a win tonight, and he called out MJF ahead of their match. That’ll be some great stuff, but I bet MJF cheats to win. Then maybe Jeff Jarrett goes after MJF to set up a match for Revolution. That or they give us Hangman VS MJF as they’ve been teasing.

Rosa VS Ford was a good match, but there was certainly a legit moment of concern for Ford in the middle. It might just be, but I feel like Ford hasn’t gotten the ring rust off even this long after her return. But Megan Bayne starting on a story with Rosa is great for Megan. Megan’s already strong, tall, with great presentation, so taking the fight to a former AEW Women’s World Champion is going to help establish Megan in the division. Megan can even be on the other side of a title feud after Revolution, depending on who holds what titles. Good promo from FTR, and I suppose they were being generic about who they were challenging as it might take time for FTR to get back to the tag titles.

LFI pulled off one of the gnarliest squashes I’ve seen, but that was a great way to get Hologram’s return. Hologram & Komander VS LFI is good stuff, and I feel like Hologram VS Rush should be the blowoff. Great match from Bandido VS Keith, and a great win for Bandido. Hobbs had a good promo to follow up while calling out Bill. As I said before, Bandido VS Jericho for the ROH World Championship is definitely happening. And then Hobbs VS Bill will be some great stuff, I’d love if they did some kind of ring breaking spot, same as we’ve seen many times in WWE.

My Score: 8.8/10
