AEW All-Atlantic Championship: Orange Cassidy w/ Best Friends VS Jay Lethal w/ Team Triple J!
While neither #OrangeHausen nor Jarrett & Lethal dethroned the Gunns at Revolution, there is still some major beef to be settled between Freshly Squeezed and Lethal himself. Will Cassidy keep hold of this title? Or will the belt soon be added to the collection?
But wait, in a big surprise, the referees are already banning Lethal’s back-up from ringside! Cassidy and Lethal will truly go 1v1! The introductions are made, the belt is raised, there are some technical mishaps with commentary and the PA system, and uh, this is how Dynamite begins!

Backstage interview with “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs.
Renee Paquette is with the Face of the Revolution, and he will be challenging Wardlow for the AEW TNT Championship. How is he feeling? Hobbs says it is so unfortunate that Wardlow’s car got broken into and that he lost his gear, his boots. His life must be in shambles right now. Now look at a man like Hobbs. Would that have happened to Hobbs? Not on these streets. But there is one thing Wardlow has left, and that is being a champion. And tonight, Hobbs takes that. Will the Book of Hobbs have an unfortunate ending for the Maestro of Mayhem’s second movement?
Ricky Starks is here!
The Absolute finished things off with The Ocho with another win at Revolution! Fans cheer and Starks gets the mic. “Wow. For the past, I dunno, ten, eleven days, I’ve spent my time here in California, San Francisco, now Sacramento tonight. And on top of that, I beat Chris Jericho at Revolution, so I think I’m having a hell of a week!” Fans cheer that! Starks says week after week, he has taken down the JAS, Chris Jericho, and has done it all from TV to PPV. And people are asking, “What’s next?” Starks says the answer to it is, “I’m not sure.” But he will say this, the question that really weighs on his mind is not “What am I gonna do next?” It’s, “Where am I gonna go next?”
But then BULLET CLUB is here!? And in from behind, JUICE ROBINSON ROCKS Starks, then THE JUICE IS LOOSE! Starks is down after the modified DDT and #RockHard stands over him. Juice grins, he just made AEW Too Sweet! But will he prove to be better than The Absolute?
Backstage interview with Wardlow.
Tony Schiavone is with the TNT Champion and brings up that it was a tough night for him last night given his car was broken into. Where is his head at tonight? “I’ve dealt with a great deal of loss lately. Fortunately, some buddies of mine let me borrow some clothes,” he says as he motions to the 7 Star FTR tank top. “So since I’m dressed for the occasion, how ’bout we do this Falls Count Anywhere, Anything Goes? Cuz tonight I was planning on teaching Hobbs a lesson in respect, but now, I’m going to demolish him. I may not physically have the title, but I AM the TNT Champion! And no man on this earth is going to take that from me!”
The War Dog is ready to do anything and go anywhere, where will this title fight end?
Renee Paquette is in the ring.
She introduces at this time The Runaway, Ruby Soho! Fans are torn as she makes her entrance, flanked by the outsiders, Toni Storm and Saraya! And they of course have their spray paint. Ruby goes to the ring alone and joins Renee. Renee says it was a “pretty interesting turn of events” at Revolution, with Soho joining Storm and Saraya. The question on everyone’s mind is, of course, “Why?” Fans boo and Soho just smirks. It’s obvious, isn’t it? It shouldn’t come as a surprise. “You all created this monster. Let’s just run it back real quick, Renee. My very first title match here in AEW was at Grand Slam against Britt Baker. And when she beat me, these people were thrilled.”
Fans even chant “D M D!” now, so that proves Ruby’s point. Ruby fast-forwards past that to the semifinals of the Owen Hart Tournament, where Ruby faced another “homegrown” in Kris Statlander. Fans cheer that name and Ruby says fans all love “Stat.” But while Renee wasn’t in AEW yet, surely she remembers that response after Ruby beat Kris. Not a warm one. Yeah, no, the fans BOOED Ruby out of the building! Fans boo now and Ruby smirks. Ruby says then we get to Revolution, when AEW’s favorite homegrown, Jamie Hayter, pinned Ruby in the middle of the ring. And we ALL love Hayter, right?
Ruby realized in that moment that no one was ever gonna come to her defense. No one was gonna be mad when she lost. And no one here in AEW was ever gonna really appreciate her! But she’s not the only one! Toni Storm came here, she wasn’t appreciated from the get-go! In fact, the company didn’t appreciate Toni enough to call her an actual champion, she was an “interim” champion. And then the fans all begged Saraya to come out of retirement! Yeah? And she does! And then these “fat, neck-bearded trolls” came after her at a moment’s notice! “We’ve been outcasts since the day we came into AEW.”
Ruby says they came here to help rebuild the AEW Women’s Division. “But you can’t build on broken foundations, you can only demolish and start new. And the broken foundation is the entitled little sh*ts in the back! The broken foundation is the rookies who think that they deserve the world! Because Tony Khan and all of you people give it to them! So speaking of entitled rookie, why don’t we go ahead and bring out my opponent, another homegrown in Skye Blue.” Skye makes her entrance and fans cheer! Skye is all fired up hearing what Ruby said, but will she be able to prove Ruby wrong?
Ruby Soho VS Skye Blue!
Ruby stomps Skye the second she slides into the ring! The bell rings, Ruby rains down fists, then she drags Skye up to throw her out. Ruby goes out after Skye and whips her into barriers! Ruby taunts the fans in the front row, then POSTS Skye! Ruby stalks Skye, KICKS her in the side, and Skye writhes. Ruby talks more trash, she drags Skye up and puts her in, then stalks her to a corner. Ruby goes to the opposite corner while fans boo, and Skye stands. Skye hobbles forward at Ruby, but Ruby ENZIGURIS her down! Fans rally for Skye but Ruby looms over her. Ruby kicks Skye around, taunts her, and Skye reaches out at her.
Skye SLAPS Ruby! Ruby ROCKS Skye! Ruby whips, Skye dodges and spins her around but Ruby wrenches out to hit an STO! Cover, TWO! Fans rally for Skye and Ruby smirks, somewhat amused. She’s still in control as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ruby pushes Skye’s face into the mat, stands on an arm, and while Skye tries to hit Ruby away, Ruby STOMPS the hand! Skye writhes and goes to a corner, but Ruby CHOKES her on ropes. The ref counts, Ruby lets off, but then she stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts again, Ruby CHOKES Skye and shouts in her face, then lets off. Ruby paces around, storms up on Skye, and taunts her. Skye ROCKS Ruby with a forearm! Ruby eggs Skye on, so Skye throws more forearms! Ruby CLAWS Skye’s face and puts her in the corner! Ruby grinds her forearms in, the ref counts but Ruby lets off at 4 to taunt the fans.
Ruby brings Skye up, ROCKS her with a forearm, then ROCKS her again! Ruby ROCKS Skye a third time, but Skye gest around to roll Ruby up! TWO, and Ruby CLOBBERS Skye! Cover, TWO! Ruby is growing frustrated, but she stands Skye up and bumps her off buckles. Ruby stomps Skye then paces around. Ruby stomps Skye more, lets off as the ref reprimands, and then she stands Skye up. Ruby CHOPS Skye and Skye flops to the ropes. Ruby bumps Skye off buckles again, then ROCKS her with a forearm. Ruby pie faces Skye, goes corner to corner, but Skye dodges! Ruby goes up as Dynamite returns to single picture, but Skye catches the headscissors!
Skye throws Ruby to the apron, ROCKS her with a forearm, then runs, but Ruby avoids the shoulder! Ruby mule kicks, then she makes everyone look at “homegrown baby.” Ruby pushes Skye back into the ring, drags her up and reels her in, SAIDO! Skye flounders to ropes but stands up again. Skye eggs Ruby on despite staggering around. Ruby storms up to SAIDO Skye again! Ruby is amused that Skye fires up! Ruby runs in, but Skye avoids the kick! Skye falls over, but she avoids another kick! Ruby is getting annoyed now, and she brings Skye up to ROCK her with forearm after forearm! Skye ROCKS Ruby back!
Skye runs, ROCKS Ruby again, then whips. SHINING WIZARD at the ropes! Snapmare and SUPER0 NO, Ruby blocks the kick, but the BASEMENT-GIRI hits! Skye fires up, runs but misses as Ruby dodges. Skye BOOTS Ruby away, goes up top, and leaps to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Skye growls, she runs, and hops on, but Ruby shrugs her off! SUPERKICK! SUPERKICK from Skye! Skye full nelsons, lifts, but Ruby slips free and pulls hair! DESTINATION UNKNOWN! Cover, Ruby wins!
Winner: Ruby Soho, by pinfall
Skye fought hard for being an “entitled brat” of a rookie. But here come Saraya and Toni! They have plenty of spray paint, and they surround Skye. Saraya sits Skye up, Ruby shakes the can, and she sprays Skye right on the chest. But here comes WILLOW NIGHTINGALE! She was Ruby’s friend and she comes out to confront Ruby. Ruby pushes Willow away but Willow wants Ruby to talk this out. But Storm and Saraya CLOBBER Willow! They stomp away, and Ruby doesn’t even care. Ruby drags Willow up, wrenches and NO FUTURE! Ruby puts Skye next to Willow, and Saraya takes care of spraying them both with the green L.
Fans boo but the outsiders stand tall. Will the AEW Women’s Division find itself in a civil war soon enough?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee is with the Cowboy who survived Texas Death. Renee knows how Jon Moxley is doing, but how is Hangman doing? Physically, he’s been better. But in his mind and soul, all is well. Sunday, Hangman let that heart blacken and go somewhere with no light. Not because he wanted to, but because he had to. Let this serve as a warning. If you wanna push Hangman, Hangman will take you to hell. He’ll rip your flesh, he’ll choke you until life leaves your body, and then he’ll just ride back up.
Renee asks if it is safe to say things between him and Moxley are finally done. Hangman says that he’d given her a lot of flack for these interviews, and he owes her an apology. Especially for Sunday. He is sorry for what Renee had to see. But if she wants to blame someone, don’t look at Hangman. And as far as Moxley, after Texas Death, for Hangman, he’s finished. Renee thanks Hangman for his time. Will the Cowboy ride on towards something gold now that he’s out of the darkness?
MJF speaks.
“With a tear in my eye, you wanted to doubt me? You wanted to question my ability in that ring? Yeah? You people are worried about my mental health? MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET CHECKED! MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET YOUR BRAIN CHECKED! Because you actually thought that Bryan Danielson was on MY level! He’s the best in the world my ass! I just made the Dragon tap out. I snapped his wing clean off. And baby, I’m the devil. I got horns growing outta my forehead. I got a silver tongue. And got the grandest prize of ’em all!” MJF gives Triple B a big kiss, and says his back isn’t against the wall. He’s feeling good. Time to celebrate! Daddy is single and ready to mingle!
But he won’t end here! March 15th, the Ides of March, happens to be the birthday of the greatest wrestler on God’s Green Earth! MJF will stroll on in to Winnipeg, and celebrate that he is the most complete wrestler today. And he won’t just have some simple birthday party, that’s for chumps. MJF is gonna have a “re-bar-mitzvah.” Nobody is gonna dethrone the Devil of AEW, because his Reign of Terror has just begun. If MJF can even cheat an Ironman match, what can ever stop him now?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to Dynamite in Sacramento, and welcomes one of the greatest tag teams, FTR! Fans fire up as Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood return to Dynamite after returning at Revolution. FTR goes to the ring, and Schiavone welcomes them back. We all saw them coming in here with a purpose. Cash says Tony’s gonna have to speak up, the fans are all fired up for “FTR! FTR!” Schiavone says it’s well-deserved. Cash says he missed this. “So we said over and over again how great 2022 was for us, but right now, I wanna talk about how bad the last few months have been.”
They lost to the Acclaimed, to the Gunns, lost three other sets of titles in about two months, and then we lost one of their best friends in Jay Briscoe. Fans cheer for “JAY! JAY! JAY!” and Cash glances to Heaven as he says, “We love you.” FTR knew they needed to step away, they needed to take a breath and recharge. But right now, they can NOT sit home and watch Austin & Colten call themselves the best team in wrestling! Yes, they’re good, they’re the current champions, and they are the future of AEW, but they’re also “spoiled, entitled, disrespect little a-holes.” Fans agree there!
Cash continues by saying the Ass Boys’ dad, Billy Gunn, gave them they could ever ask for! Every opportunity and advantage! Something Cash’s dad could never give him. Private education, jobs with the great wrestling company in the world. But what Cash’s dad DID give him was knowing how to fight, and knowing how to be respectful. Cash is gonna teach them everything his dad did that Daddy Ass should have.
Dax says that he’s come out here and talked about how much he cares about his wife and daughter, but now he wants to talk about someone else he cares about: all the fans. In a time where he felt that he was incapable of being loved, the fans loved him. In a time where he felt he couldn’t find love, pro-wrestling gave him love. That is why Dax loves this industry! And this ain’t some ra-ra, Babyface “Yay me” speech. But dammit, he loves y’all, too! Fans chant for “FTR!” to show their love now.
Dax says that in December, FTR closed the book on the greatest trilogy of matches they’ve ever had. And even though they didn’t win that night, Dax knew they and the Briscoes did something special for this business. But that feeling was taken away by the Gunns. The last memory Dax has with one of his best friends in this industry was taken away from him by them! And he will never forget that. So now, it’s time for retribution! Now it’s time to get even! It’d be so easy to fight them and beat their asses, but now FTR has to hit Austin & Colten where it hurts. Now they gotta beat them and finally become AEW World Tag Team Champions!
Fans cheer as Dax says they gotta do it for them, for the Briscoes, and for the fans! #TopGuysOut! Dax & Cash are back with a vengeance, but will they kick the Ass Boys’ asses down but good?
Backstage interview with Jade Cargill & Leila Grey.
Renee is with The Baddies and says Jade is 53-0, easily the most impressive record in AEW History. But is Jade feeling challenged at this point? Pfft, what’s a challenge? Leila says there are no challenges for Jade. Exactly. Jade is undefeated at 53-0, has ran through every woman here in AEW and in the United States. So seeing how they’re going to Canada, where Renee is from, why not we bring out the best Canada has to offer. Jade is so big on charity, “why won’t one of you wack-ass Canadians step up and get stepped on?” Jade and Leila head out, who will answer the open challenge?
Six Man Tag: The Jericho Appreciation Society VS AR Fox & Top Flight!
Chris Jericho is still stinging from losing to Ricky Starks again, but surely with Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara by his side (and Hager, Parker and Menard in his corner), he can rebound and feel on top of the world again. Will The Ocho feel like number one again? Or will the Coldest Team in the Game put the JAS on ice?
The trios sort out and Fox starts against Jericho. The two step to each other, Jericho shoves Fox but Fox fires haymakers! Fox whips, Jericho reverses but Fox KICKS him! Fox goes Matrix to dodge, then does it again! And again! Jericho gets annoyed but he storms up into an ENZIGURI! Fans fire up as Fox runs in to A-LIST LARIAT! Fox then skins the cat and swinging dropkicks! Jericho bails out, Fox builds speed, to FLY! Direct hit at the ramp and fans fire up! The JAS is furious but Fox brings Jericho up. Fox puts Jericho in, Jericho scrambles and hugs Sammy as defense! Fans taunt Sammy but he tags in.
The Spanish God circles with Fox, knuckle locks, but then kicks low! Sammy scoops and SLAMS, then he brings Fox up. Jericho steps in, Le Sex Gods double whip to double shoulder Fox! Then they pose together! The rest of the JAS gets in on it, too. The fans boo, Top Flight shout at the goons to get off the apron, and Sammy brings Fox up. Sammy whips, Fox holds ropes and Darius tags in. Fox BOOTS Sammy, Sammy comes back but Fox jumps over. GAMANGIRI from Darius, and then Fox reels Sammy in to back suplex. Sammy lands on his feet, hurries away, and he hugs Garcia! Fans boo but Garcia tags in.
Garcia runs in but into an arm0drag! Darius brings Garcia up, whips, but Garcia reverses. Dante tags in, Darius blocks the hip toss, and Darius arm-drags Garcia to then feed him to Dante’s shoulder. Darius shoves Garcia out and Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Direct hit at the ramp! Fans fire up and Dante flexes. Dante puts Garcia in the ring but Parker distracts him. Dante kicks at Parker and he backs off. Dante springboards, into a HAYMAKER! Garcia flexes, Sammy gets in to hug him, and Jericho spoon-hugs Sammy. Fans boo the JAS being idiots while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Garcia drags Dante up, bumps him off buckles, then fires UPPERCUTS! Tag to Sammy, he CHOPS! Sammy tags Jericho and Jericho grins as he CHOPS Dante. Jericho CHOPS Dante again and again, then swings, but Dante blocks and counter punches! Dante fires off, runs, but into a DROPKICK! Jericho soaks up the heat, pretends he can’t hear the fans, then drops an elbow on Dante. Jericho taunts Darius and Fox, drags Dante away and tags in Sammy. Le Sex Gods split the wishbone! Sammy swaggers, clamps on a chinlock, and he grinds Dante down. Dante endures, fans rally up, but Garcia tells them to kiss this.
Dante fight sup, but Sammy throws him down! Sammy shifts his grip, drags Dante up and tags in Jericho. Jericho bumps Dante off buckles, hoists him up top, then CHOPS! Jericho climbs up, fires forearms, then brings Dante up. Dante resists the superplex, throws body shots, then GOURD BUSTERS Jericho down! Dante leaps to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives and the JAS is relieved. Dante and Jericho crawl for their corners, but Sammy runs in to BLAST Darius and Fox! Jericho tags Garcia! Garcia CLOBBERS Dante! Garcia stomps away, roars and flexes, then he drags Dante up and around.
Dynamite returns to single picture as Sammy tags in. Sammy snapmares Dante, clamps the chinlock back on and digs his knee in. Fans boo Sammy and rally for Dante and Dante fights up. Dante throws body shots, shoves Sammy away, then BLASTS Jericho! But Sammy picks Dante up! Dante fights that, and MONKEY FLIPS Sammy so hard, Sammy does a 450 onto his face! Fans fire up, hot tags to Garcia and Fox! Fox rallies on Garcia, ELBOWS in the corner, then snapmares and rolls, to a CUTTER! Jericho runs in to CHOP! Sammy adds a kick, Le Sex Gods double whip, but Fox holds ropes to stop himself.
Jericho runs in but is sent out! Sammy runs in, Fox kicks a leg out and Sammy ends up on ropes! Fox rolls, runs and SLIDES on Sammy to also WRECK Jericho with a dropkick! Fans fire up for that two-for-one, and Fox goes up top. Sammy staggers, but he avoids the 450! Fox keeps rolling to dodge Garcia, then he goes up and up and FLYING DOUBLE CUTTERS!!

Winners: The Jericho Appreciation Society, by pinfall
Yep, all of the JAS helps Jericho get this one! They all celebrate together, and Jericho gets a mic. He hands it to Parker and Parker says, “Ahem. AHEM! What you just witnessed was the single greatest Trios victory in AEW history! So Sacramento, do Cool Hand a favor, and LIGHT! THE! BEAM~!” Fans are torn on him shouting them out, but Menard gets the mic now. “Did you know that tonight marks the one year anniversary of the Jericho Appreciation Society? For over 52 weeks, the epitome of sports… enner-tay-ners!” Garcia gets the mic to say that “after such a beautiful victory,” it is only fitting that the JAS are the #1 contenders to the Trios titles!
Fans boo that but Sammy adds on. “Not only that, but the JAS is also the sexiest group alive, baby!” Hager says he likes his sexy hat! Jericho says that they’re deeming themselves the NEW #1 contenders to the AEW World Trios Championships, “so House of Black! Turn out your lights, do one of the greatest entrances in pro-wrestling history, and get your asses in this ring, NOW!” Fans do like that idea. And the lights DO go out! But for “CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON~!” The Elite! The, the, Elite, are here instead! Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks are the former Trios Champions, and Omega says, “Oh, hi, Chris.
“For the better part of three years, we’ve stayed out of your lane. You haven’t gotten yourselves involved in our business, and we haven’t gotten ourselves involved in yours. I’d like to think that that comes out of a place of mutual respect, but however, when you talk about the Trios Championships-” Wait, Don Callis cuts Omega off there. Callis wants to handle this, and fans boo. “Y’know, Chris, everybody knows that it was The Elite that established the World Trios Championships. And after the match that they had at Revolution, it’s very obvious that they are the #1 contenders, not you guys.
“And Chris, on a personal note, you and I have been friends for what? 33 years? And I fully agree with those that say that you are one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time!” Fans do cheer that. “Unfortunately, Chris, you’re only the second best wrestler from Winnipeg.” The JAS keep that from hurting Jericho too much, but the fans agree, it’s “KENNY! KENNY!” Callis says that if he himself had a couple of months to train, Jericho would end up THIRD! Jericho tells Callis to get his wormy ass down here and bring his stupid friends! He’ll go right here, right now! But then the lights turn off again!!
Malakai Black talks from the tron. “Boys, boys, there’s no need to fight. No, you are both equally as deserving to be humiliated in your hometown. So next week, if you want these…” The tron cuts out, and then the House of Black is here in person, standing between The Elite and JAS! “Come get ’em!!” Fans fire up, is that what it sounds like? Is this going to be a TRIPLE THREAT TRIOS MATCH!? The lights go out, there’s a commotion, and then the House of Black is gone. The JAS are ready, the Elite is ready, but Don Callis is worried. Will the biggest names in AEW all #FadeToBlack?
Tony Khan speaks.
“I’m here tonight because the AEW All-Atlantic Champion, Orange Cassidy, has requested an Open Challenge match next week in Winnipeg against Double J, Jeff Jarrett. I’m honoring that request. Next week in Winnipeg, it will be Orange Cassidy VS Jeff Jarrett, and this match represents an important milestone for our company. I’d like to tell you about it on behalf of AEW and Warner Brothers Discovery. Next week marks the fifth and final defense of the AEW All-Atlantic Championship on international soil. It is the only AEW championship to ever change hands on international soil.
“And next week, in partnership with Warner Brothers Discovery, to support the release of Shazam: Fury of the Gods, next week in Winnipeg, it will be Orange Cassidy VS Double J, Jeff Jarrett, for the AEW International Championship! Next week in Winnipeg, we will level up the championship. It will be a huge match, a huge milestone for AEW, and all of us are so excited for the release of Shazam: Fury of the Gods, and we can’t wait for Wednesday Night Dynamite in Winnipeg. Orange Cassidy VS Jeff Jarrett, for the AEW International Championship as we level up the championship in AEW!”
Bryan Danielson speaks.
“I always thought I was doing this for my kids. I was forced to retire. But I wanted to teach them, if you love something, you gotta fight for it. And uh, what I realized out there tonight, Max was right. This whole time, my whole career, has been legs, lungs, heart, and never giving up. And that’s always what I thought was best. To fight! To just fight and fight and fight and fight. And when I woke up from being unconscious, and I’m in the LeBell Lock, my first instinct was to effing fight. Then as I was fighting, I realized I can’t feel my arms. And my left leg didn’t have any strength anymore.
“And when Max said, after the Ironman match, I wouldn’t be able to play with my kids, it dawned on me. He was right. I was putting myself before my family. More than tapping out, that made more ashamed than anything else. It’s time for me to go home.” The American Dragon lost more than just a match, but will we ever see him back in AEW again?
Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli w/ Wheeler Yuta VS John Silver & Alex Reynolds!
While Hangman says things are done between him and The Maniac, it seems the Blackpool Combat Club and Dark Order still have business to settle! Will Moxley and the Swiss Superman tear down the Numbers? Or can Johnny Hungy & Alex Handsome take the fight to the BCC like Evil Uno did?

Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Renee is with Max Caster, Anthony Bowens and Billy Gunn, and says things didn’t go their way at Revolution, so what is next for them? Bowens says that obviously, things didn’t work out, but The Acclaimed & Daddy Ass are on the road back to the tag titles! And that includes here tonight in #Scissormento. Because EVERYONE! LOVES! THE ACCLAIMED! Caster says that’s right! They’re the People’s Choice, the People’s Voice, and- Wait, the JAS’s Menard & Parker interrupt the “wonder boys.” What a consolation prize. Yes, everyone loves The Acclaimed, even Parker & Menard!
But y’know who really loves The Acclaimed? Chris Jericho and the Jericho Appreciation Society. They love rap music! Love it! So here’s a proposition. You know, they know, Renee knows, the FANS know, that The Acclaimed are sports enner-tay-ners at heart! So how about they join up? The Acclaimed laugh at that one. Billy says that was good. That was funny. But no chance, with Menard’s bootleg Michael Jackson Thriller lookin’ ass. They’re on TV more than you guys, just leave them alone. The JAS swung and missed hard on that one. Will they just have to face the House of Black and Elite with the numbers they have?
AEW TNT Championship Falls Count Anywhere, Anything Goes: Wardlow VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs!
Just as the Mayhem of Maestro avenged the betrayal of Samoa Joe, he finds himself running headlong into the fray once again. This is War, but will this freshly minted title reign survive? Or will this be the greatest chapter in the Book of Hobbs yet?
Wait, Wardlow’s not making his entrance. He and Hobbs are already brawling backstage! Hobbs CLUBS Wardlow, opens the car door, and brings out the brass ring to JAM Wardlow with it! Then he pushes Wardlow at the door. Wardlow stops from being crushed in the door and he throws hands on Hobbs! Wardlow throws hands, Hobbs throws them back, then tries again. Hobbs whips Wardlow into the car door, and bends it off the frame! Then he digs Wardlow’s face into the rear passenger side window! Wardlow tries to fight back but Hobbs throws a body shot. Hobbs grabs a keg, and he CHCKS it! Wardlow narrowly dodges it!
Wardlow kicks low, the ref decides to ring the bell so that this is on record as Hobbs SMACKS Wardlow off the hood! Then Hobbs brings Wardlow around, and suplexes Wardlow onto the hood! They climb up onto the car, and Hobbs reels Wardlow in. But Wardlow BACK DROPS Hobbs onto the windshield! Cover on the broken glass, TWO!! Hobbs is still in this but Wardlow snarls. Wardlow drags Hobbs over and around, throws him into plastic crates, then SMACKS Hobbs with a plastic crate! They go to wood palettes as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Wardlow brings Hobbs away from the palettes but Hobbs digs a PRYBAR into Wardlow’s face! Hobbs kicks low, stalks Wardlow around the way, but Wardlow kicks Hobbs low. Wardlow then THROWS Hobbs into boxes! And then more boxes! Hobbs hits back, and SMACKS Wardlow off a road case! They go into a truck trailer, and Hobbs SMACKS Wardlow with a 2-by-4! Wardlow kicks Hobbs low in return, brings him deeper into the trailer, and RAMS him into a wall! Hobbs RAMS Wardlow into a wall, but Wardlow RAMS Hobbs into a wall. Hobbs turns things around, throws hands, but Wardlow dodges and Hobbs punches the wall!
Wardlow RAMS Hobbs into the wall, then CHUCKS him through the back wall!! Hobbs is down in wooden wreckage but Wardlow covers him. TWO!! Hobbs survives but Wardlow drags him back up. Wardlow brings Hobbs out of the trailer, further down the parking garage, and SMACKS him with a trash can! Hobbs staggers towards a production truck but Wardlow bowls him into the viewing area backstage! Wardlow stalks Hobbs but Hobbs hits him low! Hobbs storms after Wardlow as they go around the backstage area. They throw more hands, Hobbs has a chair! Hobbs SMACKS Wardlow on the back!
Hobbs brings Wardlow around to whip, but Wardlow reverses! Hobbs hits a brick wall, literally! And then Wardlow SMACKS Hobbs with a chair! They start heading for gorilla! Dynamite returns to single picture, they’re now by the stage! They go behind the fans and then up to ringside. Wardlow TOSSES Hobbs over the barriers! Fans fire up while Hobbs writhes. Wardlow drags Hobbs up, puts him in the ring, and fans duel between “WARD~LOW!” and “POWERHOUSE!” Wardlow hits a SPINEBUSTER! Hobbs stands up and roars! To SPINEBUSTER Wardlow in return! But Wardlow stands up!?
The titans stare down and fans are thunderous as the haymakers start flying! Wardlow gets the edge, he ROCKS Hobbs, then winds up, to LARIAT! Hobbs sits up but Wardlow fireman’s carries! F5!!

Hobbs RAMS Wardlow right through the barriers!!
Fans lose their minds while a standing count starts on Wardlow. Hobbs looks under the ring, and he brings out a TABLE! Fans fire up as Hobbs sets that up at ringside. Wardlow stands at 5 of 10, fans rally for the table, and Wardlow SPLASHES Hobbs with water! Wardlow fires off haymakers and puts Hobbs on the table! Wardlow climbs, fans freak out already, SUPER SWANTON BOMB through the table!!! Fans lose their minds all over again, and Wardlow covers, TWO!?!? Hobbs survives and no one can believe it! “This is Awesome!” as Wardlow drags Hobbs up and reels him in. POWERBOMB to the ramp!!

Wardlow CLUBS Hobbs, and they go to commentary! Wardlow reels Hobbs in and fans fire u. But QT MARSHALL is here!? And he SMACKS Wardlow on the back with a chair! But it just pisses Wardlow off!! Wardlow choke grips, but QT LOW BLOWS, and then HEADSHOTS Wardlow! Fans boo QT, and going by his shirt, he is the man behind QTV! QT HEADSHOTS Wardlow again! Fans boo but QT grins as he helps Hobbs up. QT says Hobbs has this now!
Hobbs drags Wardlow up, he and QT get Wardlow up for a DOUBLE POWERBOMB off the stage!! The standing count starts and QT helps Hobbs stand. Wardlow stirs at 6 of 10, but he’s still down at 8! The count reaches TEN, Hobbs wins!!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by pinfall (NEW AEW TNT Champion)
QT celebrates like he won this belt or something, but he did have a huge part in helping Hobbs! The promise from months ago comes through tonight, is QT going to help co-write the Book of Hobbs into the record books?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite to follow a PPV, though I must say as I did on Sunday that Tony Khan really booked himself into a corner with the TNT Championship. Wardlow being the victim of a car burglary just kinda makes this decision even more painful. But ignoring that, he put two guys who he was trying to push in a collision course and Wardlow gets the short end of the stick. It’s great for Hobbs to be Face of the Revolution and new champion, but it feels like there should’ve been a different route for the title itself. Darby should’ve retained to face Hobbs instead, with Wardlow and Samoa Joe settling their score separately.
At least Falls Count Anywhere and QT Marshall interfering protects Wardlow on some level. Though at the same time, they only just started hyping “QTV” last week, and we didn’t even get one QTV promo. Granted, anything they did would’ve felt like a ripoff of “NXT Anonymous” or Scrypts. But QT should’ve just shown up without warning to make this even more shocking. And now, it seems like Tony Khan has booked himself into other corners. Wardlow of course has to come back for the TNT title to get revenge on Hobbs and QT, and at this point, no one can tell how the title match will go. But if Wardlow were to lose the rematch, how is he supposed to move on to another title without looking weak again?
Speaking of, we got great promos from MJF and Bryan Danielson to respond to the Ironman match result. Bryan’s was much more powerful because of the emotion he displayed. As for MJF, he doubles down on being obnoxious, and he’s gonna have a “re-bar-mitzvah,” which is to say, a new celebration of becoming a man. He is of course just daring someone to crash the party and become his next challenger as we head for Double or Nothing in May. Starks had a really good promo, and just as it seemed like he was going to aim for a title, Juice Robinson shows up! The Bullet Club theme was easily a teaser for Jay White but Juice showing up kinda swerves us all. Starks VS Juice will be good stuff, though, and can help Starks bide time until a title story is clear for him to join.
And great promo from FTR to call out the Gunns, especially putting it in the perspective of how Final Battle was the last time Jay Briscoe would wrestle. FTR is definitely going to beat the Ass Boys, but I feel like they need to have a stipulation match to escalate from where things left off. Great promo from Ruby before her match with Skye. I almost wanted to say, “Why’re you booing? She’s right!” Not so much that fans turned on her or never supported her, because that’s typical Heel stuff. The “broken foundation” is the part she made good points with, but she obviously couldn’t lean too hard into the real problem being Tony Khan not booking more than one women’s match each week.
Great match from Ruby and Skye, and speaking of not really booking the Women’s Division the best, only NOW is Willow involved in this story despite her being a friend and tag partner for Ruby. But now after this, surely Willow joins Britt and Hayter as part of Team Homegrown to take on the outsiders. Jade and Leila have a good promo, as always, and it was fitting Renee was there when Jade threw shade at Canada. Not sure who they’ll find. Off the top of my head, Impact has Taya Valkyrie and Taylor Wilde, both Canadian by birth. That’d be a great way to get Impact and AEW working together again, though Jade surely wins.
Great All-Atlantic Championship match to open the show, and great win for Cassidy. Still nothing on the Golden Globe going back to Paul Walter Hauser but oh well. And Cassidy VS Jarrett having a match next week is going to be great stuff. Them finally making the title the “AEW International Championship” is good, they should’ve had it that way since the start. It’d be buzzworthy if Jarrett won the title, but fans love Cassidy so much, surely Cassidy keeps the belt during the name change. And with it being truly international now, I hope we get a ton of wrestlers of all sorts of nationalities going for the belt on the way to Double or Nothing.
Great Six Man from JAS VS Fox & Flight, but of course the JAS cheats to win. Even if they didn’t cheat, they were gonna win to get Jericho back up from his losses. The JAS wanting after the Trios titles is great, and I love the Triple Threat Trios match. Truly nine of the best are going to face off, and it is going to be so chaotic and awesome. Also I like that the JAS is trying to recruit so that they have even more numbers to overwhelm opponents. But also, of course the Acclaimed said no, and I’d love a feud of Acclaimed VS Menard & Parker just for the raps Caster can come up with. The Triple Threat likely goes the House’s way since this will be their first defense and they need to look strong. Though, look what we just saw in Wardlow VS Hobbs…
And great tag match out of BCC VS Dark Order. BCC wins, of course, with Moxley and Claudio being as strongly booked as they are. But they’re clearly full Heels now after beating up on The Dark Order. Hangman had a great promo where he made it clear he wanted to be done, but he’s getting dragged back in. I would love to see The Good, The Bad & The Hungy have one more go against Moxley, Claudio & Yuta. But at the same time, Texas Death should’ve been the blow-off, so I can’t be sure what they have to do to truly end this so that Hangman and Moxley can both move on.
My Score: 8.8/10

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.

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

Dynamite returns to single picture as Billie mule kicks, then scoops for a tuck and- NO, Mone turns things around, CIPHER UTAKI! Cover, TWO!!

Mone laughs as she keeps holding on! The ref reprimands, Mone lets go, and the fans boo as Mone holds up all her belts. But Billie pushed Mone a lot further than Mone will likely admit. But at this rate, will no one stop Mone from becoming the Forever TBS Champion?
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum introduces himself and Turbo Floyd, and they wish their boys, the Omaha Mavericks, good luck on the way to the NCAA titles. Some call those guys underdogs, but guess what? There’s not enough fingers ‘n’ toes on the planet to count out the Mavericks nor The Outrunners! Tell ’em, Turb! Turbo says that just like The Outrunners, the Mavericks will do whatever it takes to get to the top! It is 90% mental, and the other half is in your head! What? Well, either way, the Outrunners have been cheering on the Mavericks this whole season, and no one is gonna stop them nor the Outrunners! If you haven’t seen the Mavericks or the Outrunners, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
MJF speaks.
The Scumbag looks down at MVP’s business card, and says, “It’s funny. A lot of fans are starting to place their bets on which horse is going to become your next AEW World Champion. You got some people placing their chips on Darby Allin; beat him twice with a headlock takeover, and he’s probably dead on some mountain somewhere. Will Ospreay; beat him for the International Championship. Swerve Strickland; look at me. I beat him in life. And then there’s the, uh… The Cowboy… As much as it pains you hypocrites to admit it, there’s only one horse to place your chips on. One thoroughbred, one stallion, one mustang, the most complete professional wrestler on God’s Green Earth, and you’re lookin’ at him.
“Speaking of looking, I’ve been doing a whole lot of looking at this card. And it’s got me thinking about my Triple B being around the waist of Dictator Jon. Dictator Jon is surrounded by a pack of wild animals, and it’s very clear to me, that if I want a shot at The Devil getting his due, part two… Perhaps I need a little clique of my own. However, the last time I trusted someone, or I had a ‘partner,’ I got burned pretty bad. So as far as your offer goes, MVP, I will have an answer for you and for the world next week.
“But what I would like to do is leave all of you morons with this: The time for Daddy to be crying over spilt milk is over. The time for me to smile over popped champagne, well, that’s just begun.” MJF gives his pinkie ring a kiss, is he about to join the Hurt Syndicate?
AEW World Championship Street Fight: Jon Moxley VS Adam Copeland!
With Revolution’s main event being more or less interrupted by quite a few others, namely Christian Cage and his Casino Gauntlet Contract cash-in, The Maniac stayed the champion, but nothing between him and the Rated R Superstar had been settled. Now they’re just throwing the rulebook out into the cold Nebraska night as they turn up the heat! Will Moxley still find a way to survive? Or will he have to cope with a devastating loss?
Moxley is only now entering the arena from the parking lot, BUT COPE IS THERE TO ATTACK! The fans fire up seeing this on the tron, and the bell rings now to get this all on record! Cope SMACKS Moxley off the semi-truck’s trailer, then SMACKS him off it again! Then Cope shoves Moxley into the back of the trailer, and they brawl around all these power tools, props and cases! Cope SMACKS Moxley off the side again, then finds one of Jeff Jarrett’s guitars! Cope SMACKS Moxley in the leg, then fires more forearms! Moxley staggers towards the exit, but Cope runs up to swing and DROPKICK Moxley into the garage door!
Moxley slumps down, Cope throws off his vest, and Cope drags Moxley back up. Cope and Moxley scrap, and now Moxley sends Cope into the garage door! Moxley grabs the briefcase and runs inside. Cope pursues, CLUBS Moxley along the hallway, and the ref has found them. Moxley uses the briefcase as a weapon to JAM and CLOBBER Cope! Moxley says Cope wanted a Street Fight in Omaha, so let’s go to Omaha! Cope hits back, he headlocks Moxley and brings him along. The brawling continues, Moxley gets his jacket off, but Cope claws at his head! Cope SMACKS Moxley off road cases, then brings him around a corner. They end up going through the curtain and to the crowd!
The fans fire up as the brawl brings these two around behind the timekeeper’s area, and Cope SMACKS Moxley off the table! Cope ROCKS Moxley, SMACKS him with a microphone, and the fans fire up more. Cope goes looking under the ring, and he brings out a trash can! Cope runs up to SMASH Moxley with the can! Moxley ends up by commentary, Cope storms over to bring him around. The fans rally for Cope as he snap suplexes Moxley to the floor! Moxley writhes and staggers away. Cope runs up to BOOT Moxley down! Moxley takes a seat, and Cope rains down forearms! Cope rains down fists, not having to hold back!
The fans fire up as Cope lets off to catch his breath, but Moxley gets him for a SLEEPER! Cope claws at the hold, but he is fading! Moxley then shifts to a neck wrench! Moxley is still targeting the neck, and he RAMS Cope into the LED barrier! Moxley then brings out a kendo stick! Moxley takes aim, taunts the fans, and then runs up to SMACK Cope on the back! And SMACKS him again! Moxley digs the point of the kendo stick into Cope’s neck! The fans boo, the ref checks with Cope, but Cope refuses to give up! Moxley stops, only to drag Cope back up. Moxley whips but Cope reverses, and Moxley hits railing!
Cope DUMPS Moxley over into the crowd, and then pursues again. The fans fire up as Cope storms up and CLOBBERS Moxley into the boards! The fans fire up as Cope CHUCKS a trash can at Moxley’s head! Moxley staggers away, Cope has a beer can and he SMACKS Moxley with it! Moxley is dazed as he leans on the barriers, and Cope fires forearms and CHOPS! The fans fire up being even closer to the action, but Moxley ROCKS Cope in return! Cope ROCKS Mox, Mox ROCKS Cope! Cope ROCKS Moxley again, but Moxley hits back again! They brawl their way along, forearm for forearm! The fans boo Moxley while he vows Cope is done!
Moxley comes back but Cope BOOTS him! Cope fires hands, Moxley tumbles over the barriers, and Cope pursues. Cope grabs the panel that covers the top of the LED board to SMACK Moxley on the back! Then SMACKS him again! But then Cope clears off the desk! The fans fire up, Cope stalks Moxley again, and Cope brings Moxley around to TOSS onto the desk! The fans are thunderous as Cope climbs up to join Mox! But Moxley CLAWS Cope’s eyes! And he BITES Cope’s face! Then underhooks and PARADIGM SHIFT on the desk!! Cope flops to the floor while Moxley dusts himself off. The ref checks Cope while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Moxley stands up tall to soak up the heat. Moxley taunts the fans, then dumps water on Cope. Moxley paces around while Cope sputters and stirs. Moxley fetches the kendo stick, goes back to Cope, and Moxley waits on Cope to stand. Then he SMACKS Cope back down! Moxley CHOKES Cope with the kendo stick, drags him up and around, and he talks trash at the same time. Cope refuses to give up so Moxley shoves Cope down. Moxley flips off the fans, then waits on Cope. Cope stands, Mox runs in, but Cope sends him into the steel steps! Moxley falls in a heap, and Cope drags a TABLE out from under the ring!
Surely, Omaha is fired up again as Cope stands this table up at ringside. Moxley crawls away, has a chair, but Cope CLUBS him first! Cope whips, but Moxley reverses, and now Cope hits steel steps! Cope falls in a heap, Moxley grabs that chair and puts it in the ring. Moxley fetches Cope, puts him in the ring, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Moxley has the chair, takes aim, and he SMACKS Cope on the back! The fans boo while Cope writhes, and Moxley SMACKS him again! Moxley CHOKES Cope with the chair, having it sit on his neck! Moxley flips off the fans while they boo more, but Cope still refuses to give up.
Moxley lets off Cope and he tells the ref to back off. Moxley puts the chair around Cope’s neck! The fans boo as Moxley wants to do Cope like he did Bryan Danielson and Chuck Taylor! But then Moxley goes up the corner?! The fans boo, but Cope stands! Cope CHUCKS the chair at Moxley! Moxley teeters up top, Cope climbs up after him, and Cope CLAWS Moxley’s back! Cope brings Moxley up, to SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men writhe, and Prince Nana is watching backstage. Swerve is still down and out after what Moxley did to him on Saturday, so Nana is keeping an eye on this match on Swerve’s behalf.
Moxley writhes but rises up, and so does Cope. The fans rally, Cope and Moxley trade forearms, and then Moxley eggs Cope on. They stand to fire more forearms, and Cope gives as good as he gets! Moxley kicks low, fires knees again and again, then runs, only for Cope to dodge and LARIAT! And LARIAT! And LARIAT again! The fans fire up as Cope then FLAPJACKS Moxley down! Moxley checks his face while the fans rally up. Cope goes out of the ring, and he looks under the ring. IT’S SPIKE! Cope brings his little friend into the ring, but Moxley hits a CUTTER! The fans boo but Moxley CHOKES Cope!
Moxley goes out, and he brings out a second TABLE! The fans are torn, they love tables but don’t like Moxley. Moxley puts this table in the ring, sets it up in a corner, but Cope gets Spike back! Cope SMACKS Moxley in the gut!! The fans go nuts, but then Cope SMACKS Moxley on the back! Cope puts Spike down, and suplexes Moxley onto Spike!! Moxley writhes as Spike sticks inside Moxley’s back!! So many nails are digging into flesh!! The fans are losing their minds and Moxley isn’t sure what to do about it! Moxley stands, Spike still digs into him, but WHEELER YUTA IS HERE! BUSAIKU KNEE on Cope!!
The fans boo but of course The Decoder defends Moxley! Now even Yuta is shocked to see Spike stuck in Moxley’s back! Yuta helps Moxley, but as he pulls on Spike, Moxley’s skin is stretched and torn up more! The ref gets Spike off of Moxley’s back while Yuta goes out after Cope. But Cope pops Yuta up to POWERBOMB him through the table!! That’s what Yuta gets! But CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI IS BACK! And PAC! The Death Riders return to mug Cope and help Moxley! They put Cope in, we see Moxley’s bloody back, and Cope goes to a corner. Pac runs in for an ELBOW! Claudio runs in for an UPPERCUT!
Pac runs back in for an ELBOW! Claudio UPPERCUTS! They keep the cycle of violence going, then Claudio feeds Cope to a LARIAT! Pac takes the chair, puts it under Cope’s head, and Claudio grabs another chair. Claudio brings that chair over rather menacingly, but wait! FTR is here! Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood rejoin the fight against the Death Riders! Cash brawls with Claudio and TOSSES him while Dax has Pac! Then Cash DIVES to wipe Claudio out into the desk! Pac throat chops Dax, but Dax ducks a roundhouse to DDT Pac! Moxley is up to spin Dax around, but Dax kicks low! PILEDRIVER!!
The fans fire up as Dax then LARIATS Pac and himself up and out of the ring! Things are even now, and Cope seethes as he rises up. Moxley rises, Cope takes aim! SPEAR through the table!!! The fans are thunderous as both men wipe out through the wood! The fans love “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for giving them this insane match! Cope drags Moxley to a cover, BUT MARINA BREAKS IT! Marina Shafir is again a Problem, and she rains down forearms on Cope! But WILLOW NIGHTINGALE IS HERE! The Babe with the Power gets in there to fire hands on Marina! SHORT ARM LARIAT! Marina tumbles out, Willow goes to the apron, CANNONBALL!
The fans fire up as Moxley ends up in a corner. KIP SABIAN is here!? But Cope SPEARS him first! Only for Nick Wayne to go up, up, and WAYNE’S WORLD!! The Patriarchy is working to screw Cope over like Christian Cage did at Revolution! Moxley crawls over to get Cope in a cover, TWO?!?! Cope survives! But BULLY CHOKE!!! Moxley squeezes tight, Cope is OUT! Moxley wins again!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (still AEW World Champion)
Captain Charisma screws over his old friend once again! But it took all of the pawns to save “The One True King of AEW,” and Nana calls Swerve. Nana surely has good news for Swerve. Will Dynasty once again be Swerve’s House? As for Rated FTR, Dax is certainly frustrated enough for both him and Cash, but the fans still cheer on their efforts. Cope reaches a hand out to his friend, but Dax doesn’t take it? Even Cash is surprised by that! Cash tries to talk with Dax but Dax pushes him away? Well, you can’t spell frustrated without FTR, but at least Cash hugs it out with Cope. Omaha gives Cope a standing ovation, but will Cope ever have a world title again?
Backstage interview with Bandido.
Renee Paquette is with The Most Wanted, and brings up the horrible things Chris Jericho did at Revolution. How have he and his family been since then? Bandido says wrestling, lucha libre, it runs in his veins. And he knows the dangers, he can handle them. But what Chris Jericho did to his brother, Gravity, and how that was the first AEW show their mother and sister ever attended, it was humiliating! Jericho made Bandido’s mother cry in front of him, and Bandido will never forgive Jericho for that! So on Slam Dunk Sunday Night Collision, Bandido hopes Jericho shows up and acts like a man! Bring Gravity’s mask and give it back!
But Johnny TV steps in and somewhat sarcastically says wow, Bandido’s whole family was embarrassed and his mom cried on camera. WHO CARES?! Bandido thinks he deserves to sit in the ring like a sad puppy on Slam Dunk Sunday, perhaps the biggest Collision in history? That’s not ratings gold! Ratings gold would be Bandido VS Johnny TV, and Johnny slam dunks Bandido’s head! Bigger ratings than the Super Bowl! What do you say, “amigo?” Bandido says okay, amigo. Challenge accepted! Johnny says great! Johnny heads out, but will Bandido the one dunking on Johnny?
Will Ospreay VS AR Fox!
The Aerial Assassin called his shot at the AEW World Championship for All In: Texas! He also claimed that he’d get in the Owen Hart Memorial Tournament, win the Cup, and challenge for the world title as this year’s King of Harts. Will that long road to Globe Life Field begin now? Or will tonight be the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ospreay offers a handshake, Fox takes it, and the fans cheer. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to a wristlock. The fans sing “OSPREAY~, OSPREAY OSPREAY OSPREAY~!” Fox rolls, wrenches, wristlocks back, but Ospreay spins and trips Fox up. Cover, ONE! Fox ducks a buzzsaw, waistlocks, but Ospreay elbows free. Ospreay whips, Fox ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Ospreay slips around to waistlock. Fox bucks the O’Conner, rolls back, CUTTER but Ospreay handstands through! Ospreay wags his finger, gets running, and springboards to OSCUTTER, but Fox handstands through!
The fans fire up, Ospreay trips Fox but Fox UP KICKS Ospreay! Both men kip up, and the fans cheer the standoff! Ospreay smiles and nods, and the two reset. Ospreay checks his back for a second, still feeling that Steel Cage match from Revolution. The fans cheer as Ospreay and Fox circle again. They knuckle lock, then Fox kicks low! Fox CLUBS Ospreay’s back again and again, then kicks low, But Ospreay turns things around to CHOP! Ospreay whips, Fox grabs ropes, then Fox DUMPS Ospreay out! Ospreay lands on the apron, but Fox sweeps the leg! Ospreay is down, Fox runs and slingshots to DOUBLE STOMP on the apron!
The fans are torn while Ospreay sputters into the ring. Fox slingshots and gator rolls Ospreay into a suplex, but STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE strikes back! Fox tumbles out, the fans fire up, and Ospreay uses that energy to PLANCHA! Down goes Fox and the fans fire up again! Ospreay stretches out that back while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ospreay grits his teeth as he goes back for Fox. Fox RAMS Ospreay into the apron! Ospreay sputters, Fox grabs a chair, and Fox makes Ospreay take a seat. Fox rains down fists, refreshes the ring count, then takes a lap around the ring! Fox builds speed and comes back around, but Ospreay BOOTS Fox down! Now Ospreay refreshes the ring count, drags Fox over and makes him take a seat. Ospreay rallies the fans and takes that same lap around the ring. But Fox slides into the ring and FLIES onto Ospreay at the ramp! Fox puts Ospreay in the ring, goes up a corner, and SWANTON BOMBS! Cover, TWO!
Fox is frustrated that Ospreay survives, but Fox clamps on a REAR BEARHUG. Ospreay endures the squeeze, fights up, and he throws elbows. Ospreay is free but Fox CLUBS him on the back! Fox whips, but Ospreay CLOBBERS him! Ospreay hauls Fox up to back suplex, but Fox makes it a CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Fox is again frustrated, but he clamps back on with the REAR BEARHUG! Ospreay endures the squeeze all over again, and the fans rally up. Ospreay fights up, reaches out, but Fox brings him away from the ropes. Ospreay fires more elbows, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Fox kicks low.
Fox runs, but Ospreay TIGER WALL KICKS, ENZIGIRIS, and then runs, to fake Fox out! Ospreay KICKS the backdrop away, but Fox ENZIGIRIS in return! Ospreay staggers, but he BUZZSAWS Fox! Ospreay runs, but Fox goes Matrix and kips up to ENZIGIRI again! Fox runs, into a SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO!! The fans fire up again and Ospreay rises. Ospreay gets the fans even more fired up, and he aims from a corner. Fox stands, into a HOOK KICK! Fox falls forward, Ospreay prepares the elbow! HIDDEN- NO, Fox ducks under and BASEMENT CUTTERS! Ospreay staggers, Fox runs up to BOOT him in the corner!
Fox hoists Ospreay up top, then climbs up again. But Ospreay slips under, tucks Fox in, CHEEKY NA- NO! Fox pops up and over! Ospreay BOOTS Fox, goes up, but Fox GAMANGIRIS! Fox runs up, springs up, LO MEIN PAIN! Cover, TWO!!! Ospreay survives at the last nanosecond, but Fox goes right up top! “This is Awesome!” as Fox aims, 450 FLOP!! Ospreay dodges, and now he strikes with the HIDDEN BLADE!! Cover, Ospreay wins!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall
Fox was outfoxed by this bird of prey, but Ospreay shows Fox much respect. The fans cheer that, but Ospreay’s hip is still bothering him. Ospreay himself wonders, can he even go All In at less than 100%? Or will he win no matter the odds?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee remarks that it is officially going to be Moxley VS Swerve at AEW Dynasty, then welcomes in The Cowboy. Hangman steps in, and Renee says that while she has a feeling she already knows the answer, she will still ask the question. “What are your thoughts on this match being official?” Hangman says he has said this a thousand times. He vows to never let Swerve Strickland hold the AEW World Championship again. Hangman is nothing if not a man of his word. But after beating MJF at Revolution, Hangman will not let his vision be solely focused on someone else. His focus will be on himself.
And while many people have been jumping the gun to enter The Owen, Hangman will join the party. Hangman will win the Owen Hart Foundation Cup to then go on, challenge for and become the NEW AEW World Champion. Even if it’s Swerve. The Cowboy joins The Aerial Assassin, what other dangerous names will put their names in the hat?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee is with The CEO and congratulates her on yet another successful title defense. Mone asks how many is that now. Renee believes it is 16-0, but that kid gave Mone a hell of a fight out there. How surprised was she by Billie out there? Mone admits, “that kid” did put up a fight. That kid, Billie, has a lot of heart. But it takes more than heart to beat Mone. Who trained her? Who mentored her? Whoever did knows nothing about pro-wrestling. If Mone had trained Billie, Billie might’ve had a chance at beating Mone for the title. HAHAHA! But no, who’s she kidding? Billie still would not have won, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
And what that “stupid kid” learned tonight is that there is no stopping the Money Train. Okay, on to 17-0. Bye, Renee! Mone heads out, but is the CEO’s ego about to get the attention of a Fallen Goddess?
“Timeless” Toni Storm is here!
Omaha cheers for the AEW Women’s World Champion as she makes her way out here to join commentary for tonight’s main event. After all, it has some major implications for who “costars” with Toni in her next title picture.
Megan Bayne w/ Penelope Ford VS Kris Statlander!
The Megasus has not respected anyone in AEW, only dominated! And she perhaps tolerates the Superbad Girl as they have common enemies. But from attacking Toni last week to attacking Thunder Rosa before their match, it seems no one is able to even slow Megan down. Can the Galaxy’s Greatest get even from their previous showdown? Or will Megan be the bane of the AEW Women’s Division?

Kris PENALTY KICKS, then MOONSAULTS!
The fans fire up, Toni is rather stunned, and Toni gives Kris credit for that. Kris puts Megan in the ring, climbs up a corner, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Megan flounders away to a corner while the fans fire up. Ford coaches Megan, Toni says if Bayne is a “Megasus,” call her to the “Stormodo Dragon.” Same toxic tongue and dry skin. Kris runs in and LARIATS! Then Kris climbs up to rain down fists! The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Kris then pushes Megan out, leaps, but Megan catches her! Megan pops Kris up, but Kris slips free! Kris kicks low, runs, and basement DROPKICKS! Cover, ONE?!?
The fans rally as Kris storms up on Megan. Kris drags Megan up, Toni says Megan must be the Greek Goddess of Silence as she’s barely spoken a word. Kris stands Megan up to fire forearms, then whips corner to corner. Megan reverses but Kris goes up to FLYING BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up again and Kris puts Megan in a corner. Kris fires forearm after forearm, then runs side to side for a BOOT WASH! The fans fire up, Ford is upset, but Kris ROCKS Megan again. Kris runs corner to corner, but Megan BOOTS her!

Megan and Kris stand, and Kris goes up a corner. Kris leaps, but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! But Kris is right up! And she GERMAN SUPLEXES Megan! But Megan’s right up to GERMAN SUPLEX Kris! Kris still stands, then dodges Megan to SNAP GERMAN! Megan is right up to LEAPING LARIAT! Kris tumbles out, the fans are thunderous, and Megan takes aim…!? “This is Awesome!” as Megan builds speed and DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp!

“I’ve always said the bigger they are, the harder they come. So it’s about time you and I got tantric! You keep looking at my title, but you don’t have much to say. So I’m gonna make this very easy for you. You and I shall have a date at Dynasty! And I will make your thighs shake and your body quake, and I will leave with this strap on, for I am TIMELESS TONI STORM! And I will tear your tits off!!” The Megasus has the title match she wants, but will she get much more than she bargained for?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite that almost lost some matches given the blizzard that hit today. But it looks like we got everything they were hoping to get done tonight, especially in building up Dynasty. The Fatal 4 Way was an awesome opener, and what an incredibly clever way to give two guys that win to raise the stakes on Kenny Omega. I also feel like we should get Bailey VS Ricochet 1v1 just to see “who’s better” going into the Triple Threat, and maybe indicate some go-home math towards that match. I would think part of the Triple Threat nature is so that regardless of the result, all three men look strong, but I’m leaning towards Omega winning.
Mone VS Billie was a great match, a great showing for Billie’s return to cable TV, but this makes her 0-2 all time for the TBS Championship (she lost to Jade Cargill on a Battle of the Belts special). However, Mone’s promo talking trash on Billie’s mentor planted major seeds for Mone VS Athena in time for All In: Texas, as I’ve been hoping for. Good promo from The Outrunners, but it seems like they didn’t make it to Omaha, or else they’d be teaming with Hobbs for Collision, not Briscoe & Rocky. Though it’s not like there isn’t ground for Briscoe teaming with Hobbs when they were the ones that confronted the Murder Machines last week.
Good promo from Bandido to respond to Jericho and call him out, and Johnny TV wanting a match with him is interesting. I suppose Johnny can take a loss for Bandido to get some momentum back before having it out with Jericho one more time. Good promo from MJF to set up meeting with MVP next week. I can’t be sure which way he’s going to swerve us. Mentioning he needs back up to take on The Death Riders would make me think he accepts MVP’s offer, but referencing Adam Cole turning on him makes me think he won’t. It’d make the most sense if he accepted the help, because it’s means to an end.
Great match from Ospreay VS Fox, and a great win for Ospreay to keep his momentum up from Revolution. I do appreciate him selling the damage from Revolution to add some doubt into his story. Ospreay will surely make it to the finals of the Owen Hart Cup, but his odds of winning shifted the moment Hangman Page said he’d be in. Hangman was denied the Cup last year, he might make good on a second attempt, especially if Swerve wins at Dynasty. Moxley VS Cope being a Street Fight went about how I expected: The entrances turned into a brawl, that brawl went all over the place, and then there was major overbooking. As such, Moxley wins, honestly making him look weak for it, but I suppose most Heel champs do end up like that.
FTR being part of the save that didn’t help Cope win, that’s a clever way of adding to the frustrations of FTR that is also sending them down a Heel path. Granted, this moment in itself, with Dax being the most upset and not even wanting Cash to talk to him feels out of place. There should’ve been something like this even before the “frustrations” from facing Undisputed Kingdom showed up. Chalk it up to more of TK’s backwards booking like he’s done with Jericho feuds. But I don’t see FTR breaking up, Cash will just start to see things Dax’s way and FTR goes Heel again as they keep after the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
Very good matches made for Collision and the awkward two-parter it has to pull because of NCAA basketball. Hart VS Aminata is going to be really good, but Aminata’s feud with Deeb is still on standby, so I think Hart wins out. And great main event from Megan and Kris tonight, with Toni doing another excellent job on commentary. Great win for Megan, and great brawl from her and Toni before Toni makes it official. Toni is a master at innuendos in her promos. That title match is going to be awesome, but I would think Toni finds a way to retain. Megan is great, but it might be a bit too soon for her to be world champion.
My Score: 8.9/10
