AEW All-Atlantic Championship: Orange Cassidy VS “Big Bill” Morrissey w/ Stokely Hathaway!
Freshly Squeezed is standing up for his Best Friends after what The Firm did to them! But is Cassidy biting off way more than he can chew? Or will Big Bill from the Big Apple be just, whatever?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and there’s gold in the Golden State!
The bell rings and Bill stares Cassidy down. Fans rally for Cassidy, he puts his sunglasses aside, and he “fires” himself up. Cassidy steps to Bill, but then steps back as Bill storms up. Cassidy bails out and fans cheer more. The ring count starts and Cassidy dares Bill to come out after him. Bill storms out, but then Cassidy slides back in. Now the count is on Bill! Bill steps up and in, but Cassidy bails back out. Bill and Stokely are both annoyed by these cat ‘n’ mouse games, but Cassidy dares him to come out. “This is Awesome!” but Bill tricks Cassidy! But even then, Cassidy slips away! Fans fire up as Cassidy and Stokely stare down.
Stokely talks trash, but then Cassidy takes Stokely’s shades! Bill sneaks up behind Cassidy, Stokely takes the glasses back, but Cassidy avoids the haymaker! Bill stops short of hitting Stokely, that would’ve knocked him out! Bill hurries in, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges and sunset flips! Bill stays up, drags him up with both hands, then throws him to the corner! But Cassidy dodges, goes to the other corner, dodges again, and keeps moving, tilt-o-whirl- NOPE! Bill blocks the rest, for the SIDEWALK SLAM! Fans boo but Bill drags Cassidy up. Bill puts Cassidy in a corner to SPLASH! Bill taunts Cassidy, “You wanna play games?”
Bill whips Cassidy corner to corner hard and Cassidy bounces off buckles! The fans boo but Bill mocks Cassidy putting his hands in his pockets. Bill whips Cassidy corner to corner again, Cassidy goes up and out, but Bill BOOTS Cassidy down! Cassidy falls to the floor, crawls around the way, but Bill goes out to fetch him. Fans rally and spells it out, “S A W F T, Sawwwwft!” But Bill CLUBS Cassidy, fires off fists, then CLUBS Cassidy again! Cassidy staggers away and falls, but then Bill STANDS on Cassidy! The ref counts, but Stokely commandeers the timekeeper’s table! He and Bill bring it over, and then Bill drags Cassidy up.
The ref tells Bill no, but Bill choke grips! Cassidy fires off fists to fight the slam! But then Bill UPPERCUTS Cassidy! Cassidy staggers away, but then comes back! Cassidy leaps, but into the grip! CHOKE SLAM through the table!! Bill grins as he stands over Cassidy and fans lose their minds as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref finally gets Bill to go back to the ring, and Cassidy stirs in the wreckage. Bill again mocks Cassidy putting hands in his pockets. Stokely wants a ring count and the medic checks Cassidy. Cassidy is somehow okay to continue, so Bill goes out to fetch him. Bill puts Cassidy in the ring, storms up and mocks the fans clapping. Bill drags Cassidy back up, and TOSSES him back out! The ref argues with Bill but that allows Stokely to stomp away! Bill goes out after Stokely again, puts him back in the ring, and he drags Cassidy up again. To TOSS him out again! The ref reprimands, but here comes DANHAUSEN!
Danhausen warns Stokely, Stokely backs off, but then Bill stands in Danhausen’s way. Danhausen stands down to coach Cassidy up. Dynamite returns to single picture as Bill puts Cassidy back in the ring. Bill drags Cassidy up, suplexes, and he holds Cassidy up! Danhausen tries to wave things over, but Bill SLAMS Cassidy down! Cassidy writhes and Bill mocks the pockets again. Fans rally, Cassidy sits up, but Bill stands him up. Cassidy throws body blows but they don’t do anything. Hard to say if that’s because Cassidy is tired or just playing around. Cassidy dodges Bill’s haymaker, ORANGE- NO, Bill blocks the punch to have a FULL NELSON!
Bill thrashes Cassidy around, Cassidy is all but a rag doll! But Cassidy gets a second wind! Cassidy powers up, but Bill runs, only for Cassidy to drop! The boot is denied, and Bill is annoyed. Bill stands Cassidy up, runs again, but again Cassidy drops! And bails out! Fans cheer, Danhausen coaches him up, but Stokely steps up. Danhausen gets mad now. Bill stands in the way, but Danhausen still powers up! Bill choke grips Danhausen! But Stokely says he has a better idea. CAST BACKHAND!! But Cassidy DIVES into Stokely and Bill! Cassidy goes again, another DIVE, but into a choke grip! CHJOKE- ORANGE PUNCH!!
Cassidy has Bill wobbling, and he ORANGE PUNCHES a leg! And then SHOTGUNS Bill into steel steps! Fans fire up as Cassidy gets back in the ring! Cassidy fires up in the corner while Bill drags himself in. Off comes the armband! ORANGE- NO, Bill catches Cassidy to suplex! STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE!! Cassidy tilt-o-whirls to DDT! Fans are thunderous, Orange reloads, ORANGE PUNCH!! Bill stays standing, so Cassidy runs in again, ORANGE PUNCH!! Bill leans on ropes but fans are thunderous! Cassidy goes up top, Bill staggers over, FLYING ORANGE PUNCH!!! Cover, Cassidy wins!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (still AEW All-Atlantic Champion)
Now that was a HUGE win for Cassidy! If not even Big Bill can dethrone the Freshly Squeezed fighting champion, who can?
AEW shares footage from after last week’s Dynamite.
After a bloody battle with Evil Uno, The Dark Order and Hangman Page, Jon Moxley stormed backstage with Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli, and he was furious! Moxley tastes his own blood, but it tastes like victory and life! That is what Moxley is about! He lives life to the fullest. He’s said it before that he’s a sick man and this is what he likes. It isn’t something to aspire to, but he lives for this sh*t! And he’s not the kind of guy you wanna go down a dark alley with. Who do you think is gonna come out of this? WHO DO YOU THINK IS GONNA COME OUT OF THIS!? But just remember, Hangman, you wanted this.
Moxley tried to leave it alone. He beat Hangman once, sent him to the hospital, barely broke a sweat, and got no credit for it. Many said it was an accident. Then Hangman beats Moxley and Moxley comes back from the worst injury in years, and then does the same to Hangman! Hangman got praised, he got flowers, but Moxley got nothing! They said it was a fluke, it wasn’t real, it didn’t count! But that’s what Moxley would say to, if he got beat by a wrestling move he learned in the seventh grade. But this time, Moxley will leave no doubt. “Hangman, you are a great wrestler. You are even a great man. But you are NOT the same animal as me!!”
There is only room for one of this kind of animal in AEW. There is only room for one like Moxley in this ecosystem, and he will die to protect what’s his. See you in TEXAS DEATH!! Blood has already been spilt in this feud, but who will be the one willing to give it all just to win one more time?
The Elite is here!
Or they were… The lights go out, they come back, and the HOUSE OF BLACK is here!! Malakai, Brody and Buddy attack Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks in the dark! And when the lights are finally up, the House hold up the Trios Championships, with the Elite at their feet! And then the lights go out again! Will this be how it goes at Revolution?
Samoa Joe is here!
The One True King of Wrestling Television is in San Francisco to join commentary for the Face of the Revolution! Provided he makes it through Wardlow this Sunday, will Joe be facing the winner of the golden ring?
Face of the Revolution Ladder Match: Sammy Guevara VS Action Andretti VS Konosuke Takeshita VS Ortiz VS AR Fox VS Eddie Kingston VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Komander!
The Spanish God already beat Action on Rampage, but that was with some help from Daniel Garcia. Now that it’s an eight man scramble to the top, will Sammy still stand tall? Or will a pro-wrestler become The Face of the Revolution?
Dynamite returns as Sammy makes his entrance, with Fox, Hobbs, Action, Konosuke, Komander and Ortiz already in the ring. The Mad King is giving Ortiz space by being on the outside, but the bell rings and Ortiz goes right out after him! They brawl, Fox bails out to get a ladder, as does Sammy. Komander and Action each dropkick the ladders into them! Hobbs fires off on Konosuke while Action DIVES onto Sammy, and then Komander DIVES onto Fox! There’s no one in the ring, Eddie drops a ladder on Ortiz! Konosuke ROCKS Hobbs, throws hands, and Komander whips Fox. Fox reverses, Komander tilt-o-whirls, but into an ANARCHY!
Ortiz and Eddie fight to the stage! Sammy RAMS Fox with a ladder, then RAMS him again! Fans boo as Sammy leans the ladder in a corner, then fetches a second ladder. Action SHOTGUNS that ladder into Sammy! Sammy bails out, Komander is up top, and he tightrope walks to MISSILE DROPKICK a ladder into Action! Hobbs runs in to CLOBBER Action! Fans fire up for California’s own as Hobbs sets that second ladder in a corner. Hobbs then whips Komander into the ladder! Fox runs in but Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs TOSSES Fox onto the other ladder! Action returns, but Hobbs CLOBBERS him, too!
Hobbs scoops Action, takes aim, and he RAMS Action into a ladder! Action slumps down, Sammy slides in, but Hobbs is ready. Sammy shakes his head and bails back out. Hobbs says that’s right, but Konosuke gets in the ring. Fans fire up as the forearms start flying! Konosuke runs in, DOUBLE LARIATS collide! Konosuke staggers, but he comes back! DOUBLE LARIATS collide again! Both men DOUBLE LARIAT again! Konosuke leans on a ladder, Hobbs runs in, but he’s sent into the ladder! Konosuke waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX Hobbs! Don Callis is watching backstage, he is still interested in the Future of Wrestling.
Konosuke throws Hobbs out of the ring, but turns around into a KNEE from Sammy! Sammy soaks up the heat, he builds speed, but runs into a SUPERKICK from Action! Action builds speed, and he FLIES to take out Sammy! Fans fire up as Action brings Sammy up, but Fox springboards, IMPLODING SENTON! Fox takes out Sammy and Action, but Komander is up top! Komander tightrope walks again, to SWANTON the pile!! Fans are thunderous while Dynamite goes picture in picture!
The refs check and all eight men are okay to continue, so it’s about who gets to their feet first. Sammy staggers up and hurries into the ring. Fox stands, the others stir, and Sammy is working on a ladder. Sammy stands it up while Konosuke sends Komander into barriers. Fox has his own ladder on the outside that he stands up. Sammy climbs, Komander sends Konosuke into barriers, and Action CLUBS Sammy! Then he RAMS Sammy with the other ladder. Sammy ROCKS Action, but Fox continues to put ladders up together on the outside. Sammy whips Action into the other ladder! Then he puts that ladder against the other like a bridge.
Sammy climbs up, but Komander drags him down. Komander then fires up to climb, but Konosuke CLUBS him down! Konosuke ROCKS Kmander, has him on the ropes, and TOSSES him out! Konosuke then PLANCHAS to take Komander down! Both men scramble back into the ring, Dynhamite returns to single picture, and Komander stomps Konosuke. But Konsouke keeps Komander from climbing, and DECKS him! Hobbs DECKS Konosuke! Fans fire up as Hobbs brings Komander up and aims for the ladders Fox has set up. But Fox SMACKS Hobbs with a chair! Fox done messed up, though, as Hobbs fireman’s carries! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER on the ladder bridge!!
Konosuke runs in, he and Hobbs DOUBLE LARIAT and they both fall! And Sammy’s back in the ring to climb! Fans boo, but who is up to stop him?! Action goes up a ladder, to the bridge, and then after Sammy! Action and Sammy brawl, Action gets the edge, then climbs up, to SUPER FALCON ARROW on the ladder bridge! Sammy falls off, Action’s leg gets caught! Fans lose their minds, but Komander is up top again! He aims at Fox on the other bridge, to SHOOTING STAR PRESS!! Fox sputters and falls to the floor while fans lose their minds all over again! Komander then climbs up into the ring with ladders!
Komander has a clear path, he gets to the central ladder, but Konosuke follows right behind! Konosuke waistlocks, to SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB off the ladder!!! Komander flops out of the ring, fans are giving a standing ovation! Konosuke moves the bridge out of the way, he climbs up again, and he reaches out. But Action springboards right up to join him! They brawl with forearms, only for DANIEL GARCIA to shove the ladder over! Konosuke and Action HOTSHOT, and then Garcia hits Action with an UREANGE! Sammy gets the tallest ladder of the bunch closer to the ring, and then he and Garcia get chairs.
Garcia and Sammy set up a ladder bridge with those chairs, then drag Action over. They put Action on the ladder, CHOP him, then Sammy climbs the tallest ladder! Sammy says he’s loco, for this SWANTON BOMB through the ladder!! Both Sammy and Action writhe, but Garcia helps Sammy up! Garcia puts Sammy in the ring, sets a ladder up for him, and fans boo as Garcia drags Sammy to the rungs. Sammy reaches the top, grabs at the ring, but Konosuke tips the ladder over! Now Garcia and Sammy HOTSHOT! Konosuke TOSSES Garcia and POWER DRIVE KNEES Sammy down!!
Konosuke gets the ladder up! Konosuke climbs, but HOBBS is back! Hobbs BODIES the ladder! Konosuke falls, Hobbs stands the ladder up, then climbs up, and grabs the ring! Hobbs unhooks it, and WINS!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs (NEW Face of the Revolution)
The young man from Oakland just handled his business! Now he waits to see who wins between Joe and Wardlow. Joe tells Hobbs not to get ahead of himself, but Hobbs is storming up the ramp. Joe meets him at the stage, but so does Wardlow! Security rushes out to keep this from exploding, but Wardlow fires off on them! Joe gets away, and Hobbs is laughing at it all! Wardlow is pissed that his prey got away, so he POWERBOMBS one guard onto all the other guards! Will whoever wins the TNT Championship have one hell of a fight on their hands with Hobbs?
Backstage interview with Best Friends.
Renee Paquette is with Trent, Chuck, Danhausen and Orange Cassidy with unfortunate news. Trent and Chuck are NOT medically cleared to compete in the Casino Tag Team Battle Royal given that attack from Rampage. Danhausen says he has good news: he and Cassidy are also Best Friends and can sub in! Well, okay, but we just saw Cassidy go through a big battle against Big Bill. Can Cassidy really turn right around and enter a battle royal? “Ugh…” Danhausen says Cassidy is just fine, he can do it. Plus, there’s plenty of room in that backpack for more championships. Is Cassidy sure? “I don’t care.”
Well, then, hands in! Renee joins in, but can #OrangeHausen really pull off a huge win for their Best Friends?
Chris Jericho VS “Pretty” Peter Avalon!
The Ocho got goaded into a rematch at Revolution with Ricky Starks, mostly because he refused to let anyone else take that match instead. “Pretty” Peter got a spiked-jacket Judas Effect for wanting an opportunity, will he get a slightly less dangerous one for wanting payback?
Dynamite returns as Avalon makes his entrance. The bell rings, Jericho takes his jacket off, and Avalon TACKLES him! Fans fire up as Avalon rains down fists! Avalon HAMMERS away on Jericho, has him in a corner, CHOPS and ROCKS on repeat! Avalon whips, Jericho bails out and fans boo. Avalon builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit into the barriers! Avalon CLUBS Jericho, CHOPS him, and then CHOPS him again! Avalon whips Jericho into steel steps! Avalon digs his fingers into Jericho’s face, digs Jericho’s face into the post, then puts him in the ring. Jericho clings to referee Aubrey Edwards, but Avalon CLAWS Jericho’s back!
Avalon CHOPS, CHOPS, and whips, but Jericho ducks ‘n’ dodges, into a BOOT from Avalon! Cover, TWO! Fans rally as Avalon RAMS Jericho into the corner. Avalon CHOPS and ROCKS and RAMS into Jericho over and over. Avalon lets off, but runs back in, only to be put on the apron. Avalon ROCKS Jericho, climbs up and CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Avalon keeps moving, he leaps off the corner, FLYING DDT! Cover, TWO!! Fans fire up but Avalon turns around into a CODE BREAKER! Cover, Jericho wins!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall
Avalon almost had Jericho, but he lost focus and that was all Jericho needed. But Jericho has Floyd the Baseball Bat! Fans boo as Jericho CLOBBERS Avalon with Floyd! And then Jericho CLUBS away on Avalon with the bat! But here comes RICKY! Starks makes sure the JAS isn’t following, then he runs into the ring to run Jericho off! Jericho gets a mic to tell fans to shut up. “Starks! On Sunday, right here in this crappy town of San Francisco, I’m gonna beat the hell outta you! One on one! Just because the Jericho Appreciation Society is not allowed at ringside doesn’t mean they’re not here at ringside tonight.”
Garcia returns, an d Jake Hager is with him! They mug Starks, and Jericho joins in! Fans boo as the JAS beat Starks down 3v1! Hager hoists Starks up for a SPINEBUSTER! Fans boo again but Hager stands Starks up for Garcia to hit the URENAGE! Fans boo more but Jericho gets Floyd back! Hager and Garcia stand Starks up, for the JUDAS EFFECT! Fans boo but the JAS just soak it all up. Starks is down now, but will it be a very different story when Jericho has to stand all on his own?
Hangman Page speaks.
“This Sunday is the finish line, the finale. Hangman, Mox, Texas Death! I talked to Dark Order earlier today, and I don’t think he meant anything by it, but Alex said that if this is the end of Mox and me, then aren’t I just a little bit afraid of losing? Look at me. This match, this is all I’ve got left to lose. I had the AEW World Championship and I lost that. I had another shot at it, Mox, and you took that from me. You can’t take my friends away from me, you already beat Uno within an inch of his life last week. You can’t take my memory from me, it’s gone.
“You can’t take the feeling in the tips of my fingers because I ain’t got it anymore, Mox. And you can’t take away my heart because you couldn’t carry it. This Sunday, Jon, I take everything away from you. I take your spot at the top of the food chain here. I take your pride in blood and violence. At the end of the throes of war, I am the man left standing. And you’re right, I’m not the same kind of animal as you. I don’t enjoy violence, I hate it. I hate it to its core. But this Sunday, I will be the most violent and bloodthirsty son of a b*tch that you have ever seen, not in spite of that but because of it.
“Because that is who I know I will have to be to beat you, and beating you is the last glimmer of hope that I do have here, Jon. This is Texas Death. And there’s only two ways out. Either you live, or you die. And I ain’t done living. Jon, after Sunday, you… You will never be the same.” The Cowboy is ready to do what he must against The Maniac, who makes it out alive?
Renee Paquette is in the ring.
And she has us welcome Christian Cage! Fans boo as Captain Charisma makes his way out. Christian joins Renee in the ring, and she asks him that after Jungle Boy overcame all odds and defeated Luchasaurus at Full Gear, things would finally be done between them all. And yet, here we are. What is going on? Christian says the feeling is mutual for San Francisco, he can’t wait to not be here for another 10 years. Fans boo but Christian says let’s not blur the lines of reality. The better part of six months, Christian has embarrassed Jungle Boy, and beat him down at will. Christian was done, until he turns on Dynamite and sees Jack Perry.
What does Jack say? That in 2023, he’s gonna win a singles title. “Over my dead body!” Christian says HE will win a singles title in 2023 and that’s a fact! Fans say STFU but Christian says he’s been watching JB. JB has been winning by quick pins, but if he’s okay winning a title that way, fine. But does he want to win, or does he want to BEAT someone? Does he wanna break someone down, break their will, and then take their title? That’s rhetorical. Christian knows the answer. When JB jumped Christian from behind, he had him dead to rights for a Con-Chair-To, and he hesitated.
Then what happened? Christian turned it around, and showed JB how a REAL man conducts business, when HE smashed JB on the chair, leaving him in a pool of blood and piss! And another thing that has been bothering Christian was just a few minutes ago. Why does JB wanna win a title so bad? It then hit Christian like a ton of bricks. JB has no respect for the lineage or priority or prestige of a championship. JB just wants to take that shiny new toy home to show his mommy, make some memes, get some attention. The problem with JB, and for everyone in his entire generation, is that they treat Christian’s business like a video game!
“You are a dime a dozen.” Christian says that no one else is willing to sink to the depths that he will, do the things he does in the ring! Christian is one of one! And unlike JB’s generation, Christian treats this like an ATM, and he is not done milking it dry! But that brings Christian to a challenge he has for JB. This Sunday, Revolution, it won’t be a match, but it will be a fight. No rules, no regulations, just a fight. The sad reality is, if JB chooses to show up, at the end of the day, JB is just his father’s son. Just like his father, JB is a no talent hack who should be thankful he got Hollywood good looks to coast through life!
This business is not for him! JB doesn’t have the guts! He isn’t a closer! He has no grit! He has NOTHIN! JB doesn’t have an ounce of what Christian has inside! But then the lights go down? And on the tron, JB has a video. He’s digging something. JB thinks back to the moment he could’ve hit Christian with the Con-Chair-To. Of all the moments they had together as friends. But then the betrayal, the beatings, the blood. JB has dug Christian’s grave! Renee asks Christian’s reaction. Fans sing, “Jack is gonna kill~ you!” Christian is speechless as he leaves, will his fight with Jungle Boy be his last?
Tony Schiavone interviews Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter.
Schiavone asks the Doctor and the AEW Women’s World Champion about the Triple Threat, Hayter VS Ruby Soho VS Saraya. Hayter says, “Ah, yes, this Sunday at Revolution. And to be honest, Tony, I don’t know which will be sweeter. Beating one b*tch or two.” Britt says tonight, Saraya can watch two former AEW Women’s World Champions duke it out in the ring, but guess what? She can look but she can’t touch, because she’ll NEVER have this belt. And Hayter says that if Saraya wants to cause shenanigans, go ahead, because Britt & Hayter will be there watching, too. The Pillar & the Killer have warned the outsiders, will things pop off before Revolution?
FTW Championship: Hook VS Matt Hardy w/ Ethan Page!
A settlement was signed between AEW and Stokely Hathaway, and The Firm is sending the one and only Matt Hardy to face the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil! But on Rampage, it was added that if Hook wins, he gets a shot at Stokely! Will the gamble pay off for The Firm? Or will they all regret ever getting on Hook’s bad side?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and so are the stakes for this title match!
The bell rings and the two tie up. Hardy wrenches, wristlocks, but Hook wrenches and shoots in for a takedown! Hardy scrambles to the ropes, Hook lets off, and the two reset.

DELETE!” and fans join in, but Hook rolls to get a leg! Hook drags Hardy down into a KNEEBAR! Hardy scrambles, ROPEBREAK!

Hardy goes out, drags Hook up and puts him in, and Hardy brings Hook up to CLUB him again and again. Hardy turns Hook for a NECKBREAKER!

Hook and Hardy stir, the Firm coaches Hardy but Hook is up first. Hardy flounders, Stokely sneaks his cast to Ethan! Ethan CLOBBERS Hook!!
Fans boo as The Firm get away with it, but then Stokely has to hide his “bad” hand! Hardy covers, TWO!?!? Hook survives, but now Hardy says “DELETE! DELETE!” Hardy brings Hook up, reels him in, TWIST- REDRUM!!! Hardy taps, Hook wins!!!
Winner: Hook, by submission (still FTW Champion)
Stokely is panicking! Hook gets a NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH with Stokely, with NO Firm ringside! Will Stokely have more than just a cast on his arm after Hook’s down with him?
The House of Black speak.
They step out of the shadows, holding onto the AEW World Trios Championships, as Malakai says, “The greatest enemy is not the enemy that’s made out of flesh and bone. No, the greatest enemy is composed out of fear. Fear that eats away at the soul and forces loss before the body ever does. See, these titles, we’ll leave them here because they belong to you. But just know that on Sunday, you have already lost.” The belts are placed on the ground, and Julia Hart says, “See you at Revolution.” Will gold soon adorn the House of Black?
Toni Storm w/ Saraya VS Riho!
Just as the current champion said, this is a battle of two former champions! The Lightning From Down Under was the previous, but the Wrestling Idol was the inaugural! Will Saraya help Storm strike down Riho before going for the gold? Or will the outsiders be on the defensive going into Sunday?
Dynamite returns and Riho makes her entrance. The bell rings and Storm runs up on Riho! Storm stomps Riho in the corner, the ref counts and fans boo, but Storm lets off at 4.

Saraya is annoyed, but Riho clamps onto Storm with a CROSSFACE!
Storm endures, Saraya says Riho’s cheating, but the ref says he has no idea what she’s talking about. Storm crawls around, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Saraya protests that Riho should break but the ref says he’s told Riho to break and she did. Saraya calls Riho a cheater but Riho swipes at her again. Storm CLOBBERS Riho from behind! Storm then has Riho on the apron, to HIP ATTACK her to the floor! Storm and the ref argue, Saraya KNEES Riho down! Fans boo but Saraya has the camera look at Riho. Saraya mocks Riho’s pain, and Storm goes out to fetch Riho. Storm whips Riho into the POST!
Fans boo but Saraya cheers Storm on. But here come Britt & Hayter! They warned Saraya so here they are! Storm and Saraya see them coming, but Saraya just smiles. Storm drags Riho up while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Storm puts Riho in and wraps on a chinlock. Riho endures, fights her way forward, and reaches out for the ROPEBREAK! Storm stomps Riho down immediately!

Keith Lee and Dustin Rhodes speak.
The Limitless One says, “Let’s talk urgency. Dustin Rhodes, or as I like to call him, Dusty, drug me over here to say we need to deliver a message to the Mogul Affiliates. And I regret to inform you, I forgot my lovely, luscious new jacket. But this is more than what you’ve done to us. This is about what you do to others. And I personally will not have it. Dustin, what is it you like to say?” The Natural says, “Darkness has fallen over the city of San Francisco, and this Friday night, live on Rampage on TNT, you’re gonna find out we don’t like playing games! We are Naturally Limitless, and you’re gonna remember our name!” They have called out Swerve’s House, will they also tear it down?
Casino Tag Team Battle Royal!
There are a lot of second chances in this match from last week’s Revolution Tag Team Battle Royal.

AEW takes a special look at MJF VS Bryan Danielson.
Jim Ross says that he won’t judge anyone’s character, but MJF’s can be perceived as “somewhat questionable.” Excalibur says that, if nothing else, MJF is a “very cold and calculating man.” Christopher Daniels says MJF will do anything to hold onto the title. And Bryan Danielson probably doesn’t even realize how long MJF will go. But Bryan meditates in the wilderness as he thinks back on all MJF has done and said. Renee Paquette says that Bryan has risen to the occasion and “proves time and time again just the durability of the wrestler that he is, just the technician that he is.”
Excalibur says that “from the moment he wakes up ’til the moment he goes to sleep, he’s thinking about professional wrestling, and ways to be the best professional wrestler in the world.” Taz says MJF has something to prove. And with the motivation of how no one thinks MJF can hang with Bryan for 60 minutes, Taz thinks MJF can. MJF works out in the gym, laser focused on every step he’s taking. Tony Schiavone says the Ironman match plays right into Bryan’s strengths. We’ve seen a more physical, more determined and more vicious MJF, but that’s because he realizes what he is in for with Bryan.
JR adds that he’s seen a lot of 60 minute Ironman matches, and they are just devastating. Dean Malenko says Bryan has done four of these matches, MJF has done none. But Dean will say that MJF could talk for 60 minutes. Excalibur says Bryan’s shoulder will be an obvious target for MJF, but if Bryan were to win this, that’d right a lot of wrongs. Both men are ready, and we hear from them in person, after the break!
Bryan Danielson is here!
Renee is there to meet The American Dragon in the ring and fans fire up. Bryan high-fives with Renee and she says that we are days away from the Ironman match for the AEW World Championship. “The animosity between the two of you is at an all time high, but I wanna bring this to your attention. This is a post from 2014 from MJF as he was dropping out of college, there’s actually a specific reference to you, saying that he is about to pursue his dream and his passion to become a professional wrestler. Does this change your perception of Max at all ahead of this match?”
Bryan says the thing is, a little over seven years ago, Bryan was forced to retire. And two years later, Bryan came back and said, “If you fight for your dreams, your dreams will fight for you.” But here comes MJF! Fans boo, but MJF has the music cut. Bryan tells MJF to shut up already! “For once in your life, just shut up! For weeks, I’ve been listening to you come out here and say all of these different reasons why you hate me. You hate me because people respect me and you think you deserve that respect. You hate me because some people call me the best wrestler in the world, and as AEW Champion, you think you deserve that.
“He hates me because I have a wonderful wife, I have wonderful kids, and he thinks he deserves that. That’s why he hates me!” But Max, you think you deserve all of these things, but you have done nothing to earn them, and nothing to fight for them! Fans fire up as Bryan says MJF has taken every shortcut, every cheat that he can to become AEW World Champion, but he hasn’t fought for it. And if there’s one thing MJF does deserve, it’s his fiancé leaving him! MJF gets mad now! He throws his jacket off as Bryan says, “Pinning shoulders to mats and banging rats, is that what you do, Max? That doesn’t seem like somebody I’d want my daughter to marry.”
Bryan says MJF wants to fight, but Bryan is ready to fight any time! Because unlike MJF, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Bryan has been fighting his whole life! He fought poverty, depression, head injuries, shoulder injuries, retirement, The Authority, and fought for EVERYTHING! “Before I came here, I had a job that would’ve paid me for the rest of my life, but I left and I came to AEW because I wanted to FIGHT!” Fans cheer that! And when Bryan talks about fighting for dreams, his new dream is to become AEW World Champion! And goddamn it will he fight for that.
“So Max, this Sunday, at Revolution, you better be ready to fight with everything you have for SIXTY FULL MINUTES! And if you don’t… You are going to get your F*CKING HEAD KICKED IN!!” MJF is shocked and the fans are thunderous with “YES! YES! YES!” MJF is speechless for the first time in his life, but will he be able to speak with actions in Revolution’s ONE HOUR main event?!
My Thoughts:
This was a great Dynamite and a great go-home episode. Jericho VS Avalon was the only weak match but duh, of course Jericho squashes Avalon and of course he sets Starks up for a beatdown by the JAS. This go-home math makes me think Starks wins at Revolution, which would be more effective if he hadn’t already beat Jericho but whatever. Cassidy VS Big Bill was great stuff, though it seems The Firm is just going to be on the losing end of a lot of things. Cassidy retains his title, and in a great match from Hook VS Hardy, Hook retains his title. Now Hook gets to tear into Stokely, who of course doesn’t really have a broken hand.
And I was just wondering what happens if Best Friends, Chuck & Trent, couldn’t compete. The answer: Freebird rules of the faction name. OrangeHausen steps up to represent, and we got a great Casino Tag Battle Royal with them winning. Just like last week’s tag battle royal, we got great story stuff from the other teams, and I like that there’s a growing feud between Dark Order and Blackpool Combat Club, and one between the Lucha Brothers and whatever faction we’re seeing with Daivari and the Varsity Athletes. And per Best Friends’ feud with Triple J, we saw Triple J jump OrangeHausen, but then Acclaimed fought them off, good go-home to the tag title match.
We got really good stuff out of the AEW Women’s Championship story. Storm VS Riho was a great match, and since Storm isn’t in the Triple Threat on Sunday, she could give up a win to Riho to also spur on story stuff. Great brawl from Hayter, Saraya and Ruby, it kinda muddies the math since no one necessarily stood tall, but that makes for a lot of fun. We still need more Women’s Division stuff, because there doesn’t even seem to be a match for Jade on Revolution unless she has an Open Challenge for the Buy-In and it’s a big name from one of AEW’s partners, like Impact. There are probably a lot of great Impact stars who could take on Jade.
Really good promo from #NaturallyLimitless, they’re probably gonna beat Mogul Affiliates by pinning Parker Boudreaux. Really good promo from Christian Cage to challenge Jungle Boy, and great response from JB with that grave. I hope by “fight,” they make it a Street Fight or something so that it’s at least on record. JB can stick it to Christian by beating him down. And I actually really liked that The Elite got jumped by The House of Black, and then The House of Black had a good promo to hype of the trios title match. I think The Elite still retain, but this is going to be one hell of a match.
That Face of the Revolution Ladder Match was awesome stuff! Though, also really scary, mostly when Action got caught up in the ladder after he hit Sammy with the Falcon Arrow. But thankfully, Action’s leg survived, he still fought the rest of the match, but of course he and Sammy took each other out. For a moment, it seemed like Konosuke was gonna get the win, and he needs to get to a title at some point, too, but it just makes sense that they went with Hobbs. Hobbs also needs to get a title, and just like with them circling back to Joe VS Wardlow, Hobbs is back in the TNT title scene. Joe VS Wardlow can go either way, and then I would think whoever wins loses to Hobbs.
And just awesome promos to hype up the two biggest matches on Revolution. Moxley was still bloody and still bleeding during his promo, but it didn’t stop him from giving a great promo. Hangman had a great response, too, and the Texas Deathmatch could steal the show with how brutal they get. And though they had a vignette right before the very last segment with Bryan and MJF, it was a well-made vignette. And also, Bryan taking over the promo segment from MJF was awesome stuff. The actual censoring of Bryan’s final line was so badly done it was hilarious, but I do love that he shut MJF down. That Ironman match will be great stuff, too, but I still think MJF wins because he cheats the most he’s ever cheated.
My Score: 9/10

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

Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend.

Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref.

Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!
Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!
Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here!

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

Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Slam Dunk Saturday returns and Platinum Max is already in the ring. He has the mic to tell Omaha, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that claim given Caster is 0-5 at his own challenge. But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man. He has a packed schedule, unlike his former tag team partner… The fans chant, “We Want Bowens!” but Caster says he has some news for us: Bowens ain’t here, and he ain’t coming back, cuz Caster ran his ass outta AEW! The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges. Caster cartwheels, cheers himself on, but then Hook trips Caster up! The fans cheer, and Hook clamps on REDRUM!! Caster TAPS, Hook wins!
Winner: Hook, by submission
Well, now it’s 0-6. Will Caster ever realize he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match. So I don’t really see the point of us discussing the romantic capabilities of a beast, y’know?”
Lexy says yeah, but uh, isn’t “Harley-gram” just Harley? NO, FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs off, but will Harley be able to focus on her match with Mortos around? Will Mortos be able to focus on his match with Harley around?
Six Man Tag: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero VS The Don Callis Family!
While the Book of Hobbs is stuck on a chapter involving the Don Callis Family, he has decided to conglomerate with the Sussex County Chicken & Azucar! Will Briscoe & Rocky help Hobbs get through the “writer’s block?” Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer make sure #EverybodyDies?
The trios sort out and Briscoe starts against Konosuke. Don Callis is on commentary and Schiavone is sure he is not in a good mood over his guy, Mark Davis, missing out on the International Championship. Callis focuses instead on the Six Man Tag, and his “three physical freaks” of the Callis Family. Briscoe and Konosuke tie up, Briscoe headlocks, and Omaha rallies for #DemBoys. Konosuke powers up and out, Briscoe RAMS him, but Konosuke comes back to run Briscoe over! Things keep moving, Konosuke bypasses Briscoe but Briscoe slides under. Briscoe springs up to hit the crane stance! Callis says that is disrespectful!
Konosuke blocks the crane kick, spins Briscoe around, and back suplexes, only for Briscoe to land out. Konosuke kicks low, whips Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe goes up and out.

Konosuke sputters while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky runs to DIVE, but Cage catches him! And hands him off to Konosuke! APRON POWERBOMB! Cage CLOBBERS Briscoe, Archer whips Hobbs into railing!

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