Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall
In Darby’s personal series with Swerve, he just got back-to-back wins! But wait, here comes Maxwell Jacob Friedman. The AEW World Champion has Triple B around his waist, and a mic in his hand. What will MJF have to say to this Young Pillar? We find out after the break.
AEW returns as MJF enters the ring.
And of course, he has them cut his music so he can talk. “Freaky Deaky Darby! Guys, I know you’re not very bright around these parts here in M-M-M-M-MID-waukee, but I’m holding the microphone, so shut it.” Darby already looks exasperated with MJF. MJF tells Darby, “I’ll give you credit where credit’s due, that was an incredible match. Everybody give it up for Darby Allin, huh?” Fans cheer because that much they can agree on. But MJF says it was especially impressive considering Daddy Sting wasn’t out here for Darbs. Truly inspirational.
“But of course it was great, because Darby Allin, you are in fact great. If anybody knows, it’s me. For crying out loud, at Full Gear 2021, I’m not afraid to admit it, me and you had one of the greatest matches in the history of professional wrestling. And I’m also not to admit it, yes, even though you’re a sh*tty little emo shmuck, pound for pound, you might be one of the best people I’ve ever stared across from the ring and that’s a fact. However, I’ve got two words to say that will prove unequivocally, that my name is Maxwell Jacob Friedman,” and he tells the fans he’s sick of them doing his catchphrase so shut up!!
Fans boo more, but MJF tells Darby that those two words are “headlock takeover.” HAH! Right! Remember? He beat Darby with a move so simple, and yet Darby thinks he can take Triple B of him? MJF knows Darby is about as bright as everyone in this arena, meaning he most likely suffered 30 concussions, but Darby is NOT on the level of The Devil. Darby has a mic, and he asks MJF if he’s happy. What? Is MJF happy? Has anything MJF ever done in life made him happy? Darby met MJF six years ago wrestling in front of 30 people, and MJF always said, “The moment I make it to national television, all my problems will wash away.”
Well, MJF’s here. Nothing’s changed. He’s champion. Nothing’s changed. Darby was in MJF’s shoes. He thought that when he made it to national TV, he’d love life. So Darby chased the material things, but they’re just that: material. And they don’t mean a damn thing! In Darby’s first year at AEW, he checked himself into therapy because he refused to be the guy who seemed happy on the outside, but was dying on the inside. Fans cheer that, and Darby tells MJF he should try therapy some time, it’s beautiful. But the biggest thing Darby found out through therapy, it didn’t matter about his success, but about if his family and loved ones were living happy lives.
And so what did Darby do? He stopped thinking about “Me Me Me,” and started giving back. The money Darby’s made here, he bought his parents a new house, and helped his dad retire. And no, he doesn’t mean Sting, because Sting’s not his dad, he’s Darby’s best friend in the entire company. Fans cheer that! Darby tells Max that this is just a 15 minute ride, that’s all. And Darby refuses to get off the ride and then wonder, “Who’re all these random people I let into my life? Who’re all these people I have nothing in common with, let into my personal life?” Darby isn’t like MJF. He won’t lower his morals to be somebody in this world.
So if MJF has something to say, keep talking! Fans fire up for Darby and MJF is rather surprised. MJF asks Darby if he knows what he is. Darby is “an arrogant little boy.” Darby really thinks that Darby is special? That he doesn’t have to go through what people have been going through for decades in this sport to make it to the top? MJF is so sick and tired of Darby and Jack and Sammy whining about MJF’s “morals.” Morals kill careers in this sport, and that’s a fact! Darby stands here like he’s some sort of daredevil, but MJF thinks Darby is just a coward. Darby is a coward because he doesn’t have the balls to sacrifice what must be sacrificed.
Does Darby think MJF is an idiot? Does Darby think MJF isn’t aware that he’ll end up on his deathbed alone? That if there is an afterlife, that MJF won’t get into Heaven? MJF wants to make something clear to Darby: “I could give a sh*t.” Because as long as the title comes with him, that’s all that matters! That is the difference between MJF and the others! MJF is willing to do whatever it takes, but not Darby. No, no. Listen and listen good. “I am willing to do whatever it takes to leave a legacy in this sport, and by the time I am down, my legacy will read as follows: MJF, THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!”
Fans boo and Darby shakes his head. MJF says Darby can keep his morals, because Darby’s legacy will read: Darby Allin, STING’S B*TCH!! Darby frowns and fans boo, but wait! Here comes STIIIING! Fans fire up as The Icon walks down to the ring to join his protégé and MJF. Sting howls, fans echo it, and Sting circles around MJF. Sting tells Max that he wants to know what all this talk of Daddy Daycare and stuff is about. Sting wants MJF to know that offends him deeply. Sting isn’t really a daycare kind of guy. He’s more like a… Oh, let’s see… A cheerleader! Sting has a black ‘n’ gold pompom? And he bops MJF with it a couple times.
Y’know what, Max? Sting has a fever! And the only cure for that fever is more pompoms! He just keeps bringing out pompom after pompom and throws them all at MJF! Fans chant “POMPOM! POMPOM!” and MJF tells them to shut up. Sting says he must have offended MJF. But Sting will stop if MJF stops talking about this Cody Daycare stuff. Oops! Did he say Cody? He said CODY! And the truth hurts, doesn’t it!? Because MJF had a cheerleader, a support system, and Sting is the same for Darby, just as a young surfer Sting had a support system under the name Ric Flair. Fans “WOO~!” and Sting thanks “Slick Ric” for putting Stinger on the map.
Sting says from there, he evolved, we’ve got Crow Sting and Wolfpac Sting, Too Sweet. Love ya, Kevin. Love ya, Scott. And then it’s maybe a bit obvious, but Sting’s got a little Joker left in him. But what Sting doesn’t have is a hunger or thirst for this world title. “Let’s face it, I’m just gonna be real with everybody here, including you. Showtime is almost over.” MJF says duh. But showtime is just starting for DARBY! Sting tells MJF to mark his words, Darby WILL be AEW World Heavyweight Champion, that is a promise! IT! IS! SHOWTIME!! Darby tells MJF that this “fake, plastic world” is not taking Darby alive.
Darby is leaving the same person he came in, but also the man who ends the reign of terror to become the NEXT AEW World Champion!! Fans fire up again, but MJF SPITS on Darby! Then he runs away! Fans boo as the Devil of AEW is more like a chicken. Will Darby be the one to fry that chicken? Or will one of the other Young Pillars win the race to be #1 contender?
AEW TNT Championship: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs w/ QTV VS Silas Young!
The champ put out the challenge, and it has been answered by Milwaukee’s own! Will the Book of Hobbs add another victim to the list? Or will this chapter be written by the Last Real Man of Professional Wrestling?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see how this story continues!
The bell rings and Silas throws forearms! Fans fire up, Silas runs, but Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs fires up, brings Silas up and whips him to ropes, for the SPINEBUSTER! Fans boo as Hobbs stands over Silas. QTV cheer, Hobbs drags Silas up to a torture rack, then hits TOWN BIDNESS!! Cover, Hobbs wins!
Winners: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
At least Silas is already home, so he won’t have to go far. But the TNT Champion completely conquers a former ROH World TV Champion. Will anyone ever stop the Book of Hobbs? Wait, QT Marshall drags Silas up the ramp! Fans boo, but then someone is on the tron. It’s Wardlow! He finds Hobbs’ car in the parking lot. He tells the attendant to run away, and so he does. Wardlow then tells Hobbs, “Nice car.” Wardlow has a pipe! He starts SMACKING and SMASHING and SCRATCHING it all up! Hobbs can only watch as his beloved Monstar Mobile is beat up! The windshield gets smashed by a stanchion!
But Wardlow isn’t done. He sees a FORKLIFT nearby! Milwaukee fires up as Wardlow gets behind the driver’s seat! Wardlow runs it right into the side! The forks stab through the window, then Wardlow lifts the car and tips it over! Wardlow even lets the forklift run into the car again! Hobbs is furious but the damage is done. Except, Hobbs still has Silas as his captive! And there are tables just off stage! Team QTV mocks the conducting as Hobbs brings Silas in, but Wardlow makes his way on stage!! Team QTV hurries away and Hobbs brawls with the War Dog! Fans fire up, Hobbs knees low, and the rest of the locker room hurries to stop this!
But then they all get tossed aside, too! Wonder if AEW Dark will take a hit because of this… Hobbs and Wardlow keep brawling, BJ Whitmer and Pat Buck walk out, but even they might agree with the fans, “LET THEM FIGHT!” Aaron Solo jumps on Wardlow, QT backs Hobbs down, but Wardlow SLAMS Solo down! BJ and Pat tell Wardlow not to, but fans are cheering for “WARD~LOW!” Wardlow sides with the fans, as he brings Solo up! POWERBOMBÂ through the tables!! QTV might be without one of their reporters for a bit, but will Wardlow make sure Hobbs loses that title?
Jay White speaks.
“Some of the greatest professional wrestlers, if not the greatest professional wrestlers in history, have been members of Bullet Club. But there has been no duo greater than ‘Switchblade’ Jay White & Juice Robinson. King Switch and Rock Hard! Top shelf gunslingers! AKA, the Bang Bang Gang. We are Bullet Club high rollers!” Juice adds that last week, Ricky Starks got another ass kicking. And not just from Juice but from his good friend, King Switch. They’re just getting started here! Ricky bit off far more than he could chew. How’d that Bladerunner feel, by the way?
Jay tells “Mr. Absolute” that the Catalyst of Pro-Wrestling is here to claim what is rightfully his! This is only the beginning. This will be the greatest era of Bullet Club ever, because Jay & Juice are taking over AEW! This is Bullet Club Gold. Will BCG soon have some gold to go along with that?
AEW International Championship: Orange Cassidy w/ Best Friends VS Buddy Matthews w/ Julia Hart!
The tables have turned on Freshly Squeezed! He and his Best Friends challenged for the AEW World Trios Championships but failed to take them. And now, the Aussie Juggernaut is after Cassidy’s title to add them to the House of Black’s collection! Will Buddy succeed where others have failed? Or will nothing break Cassidy’s fighting champion spirit?
The introductions are made, the International title is raised, and we see who has, uh, whatever!
The bell rings and fans rally for “Freshly Squeezed!” as he stares Buddy down. Cassidy decides to sit in his corner like Buddy does, but then Buddy stands. Cassidy stands, fans rally, and the two approach. Cassidy puts his hands up, but Buddy TOSSES him to a corner! Cassidy dodges, blocks a kick but Buddy boots Cassidy away. Cassidy comes back, Buddy goes up and over, but then Cassidy keeps moving. Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges and tilt-o-whirls to RANA Buddy out! Fans fire up, Cassidy fakes Buddy out, and sees the slide coming in. Cassidy puts his hands in his pockets! Fans fire up but Buddy swings on Cassidy!
Cassidy bobs ‘n’ weaves and SHOTGUNS Buddy out! Cassidy kips up, builds speed and DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp, and Cassidy puts Buddy back in fast. Cassidy goes up, leaps, but Buddy catches him! Buddy pops Cassidy up, but Cassidy RANAS him into buckles! Cassidy runs, another tilt-o-whirl, for the DDT! Cassidy kips up, takes aim, ORANGE PUNCH! But the bad hand hurts Cassidy!! Buddy rolls away to ropes while the ref checks Cassidy’s hand. Doc Sampson also comes over to check, did Cassidy do more damage to himself than he did to Buddy? The wrap is taken off, Cassidy moves his fingers, but Buddy storms over to STOMP the hand!!
Fans boo Buddy while Cassidy gets away. Cassidy checks his already damaged hand and AEW goes to picture in picture.
Buddy goes out after Cassidy, grabs that bad hand, and SLAMS it off steel steps! And again! And again! And again! The ref reprimands, Buddy lets off and backs away, bumping Doc Sampson as he goes. Doc checks Cassidy’s hand again, but Cassidy shakes his head. Cassidy doesn’t want this stopping the match but this could be playing right into Buddy’s hand. Trent & Chuck check with Cassidy but he tells them to stop worrying, he’s got this. Trent trusts Cassidy, but Buddy is right on that bad hand! He STOMPS it against the steel!! Cassidy writhes on the floor, but Buddy drags him up, just to stand on the hand, and STOMP it again!
Buddy drags Cassidy up to the corner, and he rips away the covering on a crossbar! Buddy puts the fingers in the gap and bends them!! The ref counts, Buddy stops at 4, but Cassidy again clutches his hand. Buddy climbs up the corner, and he stands on the hand on top of the crossbar! Cassidy can only endure, but Buddy lets off as the ref counts again. Buddy now drags Cassidy up, to dig the fingers deeper into the gap! The ref reprimands again, Buddy lets off, and Cassidy gets his hand free as Dynamite returns to single picture. Fans boo but Buddy’s game plan has gone perfectly so far, to Julia’s delight.
Fans rally up, Buddy BOOTS Cassidy on the apron! Buddy drags Cassidy into the ring, hoists him up top, and fires off forearms. Cassidy hits back! Cassidy adjusts, BOOTS Buddy, then leaps to BLOCK- NO! Buddy blocks the blockbuster! Cassidy slips free, runs, tilt-o-whirls, but Buddy blocks the DDT! Buddy suplexes, Cassidy knees free and whips Buddy out to the apron! Buddy swings, but Cassidy blocks to buckle bump! And then runs Buddy side to side to buckle bump again! And then back the other way! Fans fire up and Cassidy climbs the corner. Cassidy leaps, into a SUPERKICK!
Buddy catches his breath, but Cassidy SUPERKICKS back! Cassidy then runs in to tilt-o-whirl, but no DDT! V-TRIGGER! Cassidy wobbles, drops to the apron, and Buddy snarls. Buddy drags Cassidy up, but Cassidy Alabama Lifts! APRON BEACH BREAK!! Both men are down and out as fans lose their minds! The ring count climbs, Champion’s Advantage will favor Cassidy, but Julia shakes her head. The count is past 5 of 10, Buddy sits up at 7. We’re at 8 but no one is standing! The count is 9! Both men spring in at 9.5!! Fans fire up and both men crawl. They both head for each other, and Buddy throws a forearm!
Cassidy throws a forearm in return! Buddy throws another forearm! Cassidy throws another forearm in return! Buddy forearms, Cassidy forearms, repeat! They both stand, the forearms keep going, and they pick up the pace! Fans rally as Cassidy gets the edge, but Buddy blocks to strike fest! SOBAT! KICK! STOMP to the foot! Cassidy drops to a knee, so Buddy STOMPS the bad hand! Buddy digs his heel in, then gives Cassidy “devastating” kicks. Buddy copies Cassidy and Cassidy looks annoyed. Cassidy has Buddy hold on, and he puts his hands in his pockets again! Fans fire up, but Buddy V-TRIGGERS Cassidy down!
Buddy suplexes Cassidy, but Cassidy hits STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE! Fans fire up and Cassidy is feeling it! Cassidy runs in at the corner, but into a BOOT! Buddy goes up, but Cassidy JUMP FOREARMS! Cassidy climbs, fans fire up, but Buddy fights back. Buddy fireman’s carries, but Cassidy fights free! Cassidy shifts around, spins and SUPER TORNADO DDTS!! Buddy bails out and fans are thunderous, Cassidy DIVES to DDT TO THE FLOOR! Cassidy puts Buddy in fast, goes up the corner, DEEP IMPACT! Cover, TWO!! Buddy survives the hattrick of DDTs, but Cassidy throws off his armband!
Cassidy aims as Buddy stands, but Buddy ducks the punch! Shove and V-TRIGGER! Pump handle, but Cassidy victory rolls! TWO!! ORANGE PUNCH!!! Cassidy covers, TWO!?!? Buddy survives, perhaps because Cassidy’s hand isn’t 100%! Julia is glares but fans say “This is Awesome!” Cassidy drags Buddy up, fires up, but Buddy blocks the punch! Buddy twists the wrist, reels Cassidy in, POP-UP KNEE!! Buddy brings Cassidy up again, but Cassidy shoves him away. Cassidy dares Buddy to hit him again! But then he falls over! Buddy runs, Cassidy springs up! But Buddy stops, so the Orange Punch whiffs!
Cassidy falls over, that might’ve been his last gasp! CURB STOMP!!! Cover, TWO!?!? Cassidy survives and shocks everyone! But Buddy hurries to pump handle, but Cassidy slips free to MOUSE TRAP! CASSIDY WINS!!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, Freshly Squeezed survives! But will it be all for not if that bad hand keeps Cassidy out of action?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage this Friday!
Rampage will be on at a special start time of 9:30 PM Eastern or immediately after NBA coverage on TNT.
AEW hears from Christian Cage.
Luchasaurus stomps bricks while Captain Charisma descends into the darkness. Christian stands with his Right Hand of Destruction, and says, “Some things have changed.” Does this mean it is only a matter of time before we see the landscape of AEW change with them?
Backstage interview with Best Friends.
Renee Paquette congratulates Cassidy on his win, but asks him about the hand. Trent says the hand is fine! Look at him! Cassidy is still the champ, he’s defending his title every week, and is on the title run of his life! “To be honest, makes the boys a little bit jealous.” Chuck says, “Speaking of titles, heard what happened in Japan. Aussie Open, IWGP Tag Team Champions. How ’bout you guys fly on over here to Milwaukee, and fight us Friday night on Rampage?” Fans like the sound of that! Hands in, boys. Oh, sorry. Renee subs in for Cassidy. On three, BOOM! Wait, there was no count. Well, that aside, will the NEW tag team champions accept the challenge?
Ethan Page is in the ring.
“Alright, listen up! Ethan Page and The Firm have hit a bit of a rough patch. Matt Hardy cracked me over the head with the FTW title and cost me the match! Hook beat the living crap out of Stokely Hathaway, and that man is still injured. And then there’s the whole contract situation. Literally, I have been a mess. I haven’t been able to tan, I haven’t gotten my hair cut. And yet, I woke up, I threw gel in my hair, and I look ten times better than all you disgusting Milwaukee hillbillies!” Fans boo but Ethan says this is how it’s gonna go. Ethan needs answers! He wants to know why Hardy hit him in the head with the title, and what exactly “that moron” put in the contract!
Ethan says Hardy still works for him, so Ethan demands answers, RIGHT NOW! And out come Isiah Kassidy & Matt Hardy! Kassidy says, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Nobody played you. You played yourself, my boy! And that’s facts.” Hardy tells Ethan that he’s been in wrestling a long time. He should know that you gotta read the fine print in any contract you sign. Yes, Hardy did manipulate Ethan to make him think they were best friends. Why? Because Ethan is the biggest “hole of the ass” Hardy’s met in his entire life! And Ethan treated Hardy & Private Party like trash. That’s why Hardy worked Ethan into signing the contract.
But does Ethan really wanna know what the contract said? YES! Well, it said that if Hook defeats Ethan Page, then #HardyParty is NO LONGER under The Firm! Fans cheer but Ethan tells them to shut up. And Hardy says the contract also gives Hardy permission to choose their next match, right down to location and stipulation. So here’s the stipulation: When #HardyParty wins, they will never be under contract with The Firm again! And that means finally getting away from Ethan and Stokely. Oh, that’s what Hardy wants? Very interesting. But here’s the thing. There’s more than just Ethan and Stokely in The Firm.
Morrissey & Moriarty CLOBBER Hardy & Kassidy from behind! Moriarty feeds Hardy to Ethan while Morrissey punches away on Kassidy! Fans boo, The Firm mugs #HardyParty! Moriarty DECKS Kassidy, stomps him in a corner, and then Morrissey feeds Hardy to Ethan. But here comes HOOK! The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil is here, and he TOSSES Moriarty! And he CLOBBERS Ethan! Hook dodges Morrissey, fires off hands, ROCKS Morrissey, but runs into a choke grip! But Hook just slips free to clinch! Only for Ethan to CLOBBER him from behind! The Firm now mugs Hook on top of #HardyParty!
WAIT! Here comes JEFF Hardy!! The Charismatic Enigma is back, and he even has a chair! Jeff JABS and SMACKS Ethan! Then JABS and SMACKS Morrissey! And JABS and SMACKS Moriarty! Morrissey runs in, but Jeff dumps him out! Then Jeff CHUCKS the chair at Moriarty’s face! Fans are thunderous and Jeff gives Moriarty a TWIST OF FATE! Jeff hurries up top, tears off his shirt, and aims for the SWANTON BOMB!! The fans are thunderous as the Hardy Boyz are reunited! Hook and Kassidy hug it out with Jeff, too! The Firm thought they had the numbers, but now they don’t! Will the #HardyParty finally be free of all that funny business?
Kenny Omega speaks.
“First, I wanna thank AEW for giving me the time to speak to you guys. I wanna thank you fans for your comments, your prayers, your support. I wanna thank the doctors for being so quick and on hand that day. It could’ve been much worse if you guys weren’t there to help us out. I speak to the Bucks almost every day. And we promised each other that this problem that you have with us, BCC, we would take care of it in the ring. I mean, we’ve all been here before. This is wrestling, these things happen, it’s commonplace. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. You wanna make a headline. We get it. You made the impact.
“But when you hurt Don, left in a pool of his own blood, with his skull split open, concussed, I take it personally. And I get it. He’s not the most likeable guy. You’re not gonna see his room filled with Get Well cards or flowers. But he’s still family. And when you mess with someone’s family, that’s when you cross a line. So I’d love to say now it’s blood for blood, but you guys probably wanna hear that. That’s music to your ears. So it’s not gonna be blood for blood. What I’m gonna do to you when I see you next is gonna be much worse. Much, much worse.” The Cleaner issues his warning, will the Blackpool Combat Club heed it?
Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli w/ Wheeler Yuta VS Brandon Cutler & Michael Nakazawa!
Speaking of the BCC, the Maniac & the Swiss Superman were called out as bullies by The Elite’s buddies, who are the only ones standing. Will Cutler & Nakazawa still be standing after this? Or will the Blackpool Combat Club have completely wiped out the Elite’s presence in AEW?
The BCC’s entrance happens picture in picture as they take their time moving through the crowd to ringside. Dynamite returns to single picture as Cutler & Nakazawa make their entrance. But then they get jumped at the ramp! Fans boo as Moxley & Claudio don’t wait! They drag Nakazawa up to POST him! Cutler is sent into railing! Moxley grabs a chair, JAMS Cutler with it again and again, then digs it into Cutler’s neck! Claudio dribbles Nakazawa’s face off the apron! Fans boo, but Claudio doesn’t stop! Cutler is sent into steel steps! Claudio shoves Nakazawa down, and Nakazawa is busted open!
Nakazawa sputters and flounders while his blood sprinkles the mat. Fans boo but the BCC soak up the heat. Somehow, Nakazawa drags himself up to the apron and into the ring. Moxley tells the fans not to change the channel, this isn’t over yet. The bell finally rings, Claudio kicks Nakazawa around, but fans rally up. Nakazawa stands to CHOP, but it doesn’t do anything! Claudio SLAPS Nakazawa, but Nakazawa throws forearms! Claudio eggs Nakazawa on, the forearms keep flying! Claudio ROCKS Nakazawa, but Nakazawa throws his shirt off! Nakzawa and Claudio throw forearms! Nakazawa ROCKS, CHOPS and repeat!
Fans fire up as Nakazawa backs Claudio down! Nakazawa CHOPS, fires up, runs, but into a LARIAT! And then the SWING!! Nakazawa endures as he goes around TEN times, and then his shoes fly off! Claudio steps through, SHARPSHOOTER!! But CUTLER returns! Cutler is also busted open, but he throws hands on Claudio! Claudio doesn’t even budge! Claudio TOSSES Cutler out, wraps Nakazawa up, but Nakazawa back drops Claudio away! Milwaukee is thunderous but Moxley tags in. Moxley sees Nakazawa crawl, hot tag to Cutler! Cutler fires haymakers on Moxley! Moxley just SLAPS Cutler!
Cutler SLAPS Moxley! Moxley HEADBUTTS away on Cutler! And then fires off forearms! And then BITES Cutler’s nose!! Moxley runs, Cutler dodges and LARIATS! Moxley stays up and snarls. Cutler staggers, runs again, and LARIATS! Moxley wobbles, Cutler wobbles, but Cutler still runs! But into Moxley’s KING KONG LARIAT!! Moxley drags Cutler up, for the DEATH RIDER!! And then, facelock, shift and BULLY CHOKE!! Moxley squeezes tight, but Nakazawa CLOBBERS Moxley!! Claudio rushes in, and he gives Nakazawa HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Moxley gives Cutler DRAGON STOMPS!
Fans boo but Cutler and Nakazawa are both ragdolls! The ref calls it, the BCC wins!
Winners: Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli, by referee stoppage
But that doesn’t stop the BCC! Claudio drags Nakazawa up, RICOLA BOMB!! Moxley pulls Cutler’s safety mask off and throws it away! Yuta gets in the ring, he punches away on Cutler! Moxley gets a mic and demands to know where the Young Bucks are! And the Cowboy, Hangman Page! And “that goofy ass looking Don Callis!” Where are they? Moxley knows where: Still at the hospital! Yuta and Claudio stomp Cutler as Moxley says The Elite have glass jaws, glass bodies, and glass egos! That’s not elite. THIS is elite! The BCC puts the Elite in AEW! But wait! KENNY OMEGA is here!!
Fans are thunderous as The Cleaner tricked the BCC into thinking he wasn’t here! He dares the BCC to bring the fight but Moxley thinks Omega’s nuts. Wait! The BUCKS are here, too!! They slip in to DOUBLE SUPERKICK Claudio & Yuta! And then Omega goes after Moxley! Fans are thunderous as The Elite gives it all back to Moxley! They punch and stomp and kick, then they drag Moxley up! BTE TRIGGER! Omega grabs something from under the ring. The toolbox?! The Bucks BLAST Claudio off the apron as Omega brings that into the ring. Omega grins, aims at Moxley, and runs in, but Matt stops him?
Fans boo but Matt says he has something better: the SCREWDRIVER! Just like the BCC did to Hangman, the Elite wants to do that to Moxley! Moxley SPITS at the Elite, so Omega says fine! But then Claudio drags Moxley to safety! The screwdriver stabs the buckle pad! The BCC get outta there, throwing drinks and other stuff at The Elite. What will it take to settle things between these two warring factions?
Backstage interview with The Mogul Embassy.
Tony Schiavone is with Swerve, Cage and Prince Nana, and he says they’re angry. Nana says, “Angry? Angry? Ain’t nobody angry over here, my friend. We’re actually very happy. Darby, you went out there and did everything that this man has taught you to do!” Swerve tells Darby that Darby’s success is a testament to Swerve’s legacy. Swerve created Darby! And they don’t even have the full Mogul Embassy here. See, the list of beef Swerve has in AEW is growing second by second, day by day. And uh, Swerve has an idea. He still has some scores to settle! They’ll get all that done! They’ll leave here with something! Is Swerve right? Nana says yes he is! #HoodiesUp!
The Outcasts VS Skye Blue & Riho!
Speaking of beef, Ruby Soho, Toni Storm & Saraya have been stirring the pot and heating this up in the AEW Women’s Division. And they’ve got some Grade A beef with the young upstart and the inaugural AEW Women’s Champion! Will the Runaway & Lightning From Down Under be tasting sweet victory or bitter defeat here in the Good Land?
The teams sort out, but then Storm & Soho just attack Riho & Skye! Soho TOSSES Riho while Storm stomps Skye! Storm drags Skye up, UPPERCUTS her, then has her against ropes. Riho storms up on Saraya to get her to back off. Storm CHOPS Skye, UPPERCUTS again, then whips. Skye tilt-o-whirls and RANAS Storm! Skye kicks but Storm blocks it, only for Skye to spin and BASEMENT KICK! Storm flounders, hot tags to Ruby and Riho! Soho runs in but into a DROPKICK!

Soho KICKS Riho in the side, covers, but Riho goes Matrix to escape! Riho runs to DROPKICK Soho again! Tag to Skye, she and Riho DOUBLE DROPKICK Soho! Storm shouts at them, but Riho DECKS her! Saraya is upset by that, and the Outcasts regroup. But Skye helps Riho go up and up and SUPER CROSSBODY! Down go Storm & Soho! Fans fire up with Riho & Skye as AEW goes picture in picture.
Skye fetches Soho, puts her in, and Riho tags Skye. Skye goes to the apron while Riho climbs, but Saraya trips Skye up! Riho sees that, still leaps at Soho but Soho gets clear! Soho runs in to STO! Soho rains down fists, then lets off to soak up the heat. Storm likes what she sees as Soho drags Riho up and bumps her off buckles. Soho stomps Riho, tags Storm, and the Outcasts dig their boots in. The ref counts, the Outcasts let off, but Storm stomps Riho one more time. Storm UPPERCUTS, ROCKS and buckle bumps Riho. Storm stomps Riho more, brings her around, and snap suplexes! Storm drags Riho up and tags Soho.
The Outcasts bump Riho off buckles again and again and again, but then let off as the ref counts. Storm tries to get a cheap shot in but the ref is watching her. Soho stomps Riho but Riho hits back! Soho pie faces Riho, Riho ROCKS Soho! Soho snarls, throws hands, but Riho ROCKS her back! And again, and again! They scrap, Soho knees low! Soho throws Riho down by her hair!

Soho CLUBS Riho, brings her around, and then clinches, but Riho rolls Soho up! TWO!!
Soho runs in, Riho dodges, hot tag to Skye! Skye fires off forearms on Soho! Soho shoves her away, but Skye spins her around to SMASH! Skye whips to SHINING WIZARD against ropes! Storm tags in before the snapmare and Soho scrambles away. Storm runs in to YAKUZA KICK Skye down! Storm ROCKS Skye with a forearm, Saraya tells fans to shut up, and Storm puts Skye on ropes. Storm runs, but Skye dodges! The hip attack misses and Storm falls to the floor! Soho rushes in, blocks Skye’s kick, but Skye blocks the knee to ROUNDHOUSE! Soho falls, Skye aims and Saraya runs away, Storm takes the PENALTY KICK!
Skye SUPERKICKS Saraya, then FLYING RANAS Storm! Fans fire up with Skye and she puts Storm in! Skye goes up the corner, leaps, CROSSBODY! Cover, Soho breaks it in time! And then hits a SAIDO!

Love ’em or hate ’em, The Outcasts put this one away as a team! But then they mug Skye! Riho runs in to go after Storm, but she gets mugged, too! Fans boo, but Saraya has the spray paint! She fist-bumps with her girls before they bring Riho up. They paint Riho with the L, then hit her with the TRIPLE POWERBOMB! But wait! Here comes Jamie Hayter!

Saraya and Britt fire forearms!
Fans fire up, Britt gets the edge! But Saraya turns things around to fire off on Britt! Saraya whips, Britt reverses to kick! Saraya is down, Britt runs, but the Outcasts get Saraya outta there! Fans boo but the Pillar & Killer stand tall in the end. Will they and all of the Outcasts’ enemies look to humble them once and for all?
Chris Jericho w/ Daniel Garcia VS Keith Lee!
The Wizard, Le Champion, The Ocho talked about Adam Cole disrespecting The Red Death in how he celebrated his return victory. However, the Limitless One sees Jericho doing nothing but disrespecting everyone he defeats. Will Keith humble the Demo God? Or will Jericho show that no one is limitless?
The bell rings and fans rally behind Keith. Jericho doesn’t like them singing, “OH~ Bask in His Glory~” but Keith revels in it. Keith and Jericho step up, and Jericho CHOPS! Keith nods, Jericho CHOPS again! And again! And again, and again, and then runs, into Keith’s shoulder! Jericho sits up in a daze, and Keith gives him a respectful kiss on the forehead. Fans laugh and Jericho is stunned. Jericho gets mad, runs in, but Keith palms his head to SLAM him down! Keith throws body shots, haymakers, and elbows in the corner. Keith stands Jericho up to GRIZZLY- NO, Jericho blocks! So Keith knees low!
Keith stands Jericho up again, but Jericho kicks low! Jericho throws forearms and CHOPS, but Keith GRIZZLY MAGNUMS! Jericho sits down in a corner, but Keith stands him up to RAM Jericho and throw body shots! Keith bumps Jericho off buckles, whips him corner to corner, and then runs in to SPLASH!

Fans fire up, and Keith brings Jericho around. Keith scoops, SLAMS Jericho into the drop zone, and then smirks as he climbs the corner.
Fans fire up but Garcia distracts. Keith tells Garcia to watch himself, but Garcia just does his dance. Jericho CLUBS Keith from behind! And CLUBS him again!

Jericho soaks up the heat, then leaps at Keith, for more AX HANDLES! Keith goes down and Jericho soaks up all the heat.

The ref counts, Jericho lets off at 4, and he backs off to run and STRADDLE ATTACK! Keith falls over while Jericho mocks the fans. Jericho rains down fists on Keith, lets off, and soaks up more heat from Milwaukee by flipping them off.

Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives and Garcia is getting frustrated for him. Keith drags Jericho up again, reels him back in, and picks him up for a- NO, Jericho slips free to rake the eyes! The ref reprimands but Jericho trips Keith, tries to turn him, and fans fire up for the WALLS OF JERICHO! Keith endures as Jericho sits deep! Keith grits his teeth, fights his way forward, and Garcia says he knows Keith wants to give up!
Keith says no, and he reaches out! But Jericho drags Keith just enough! Keith still fights forward, ROPEBREAK!! Jericho lets go, thinking he’s won. The ref tells him no, that was the ropebreak!

Fans boo as Swerve sneaks away, and Jericho covers! Jericho wins!!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall
Swerve scores one for his vendetta against Keith! Garcia celebrates with Jericho, but here comes ADAM COLE, BAYBAY! Cole checks on his friendly rival in Keith, and fist bumps him over the effort. Cole and Keith start to leave, but then Cole looks back at Jericho like Jericho did Cole. Jericho didn’t learn humility or respect, he just got lucky. Jericho may not get respect, but will he get the fight with Cole that he wants?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, lots of great build in stories as well as great action. For one, great opener out of Darby VS Swerve, with AEW doing a good job tying stories together again. Darby wins but has a great promo segment with MJF and Sting to keep him truly on par with JB and Sammy. And then we saw Swerve’s promo with The Mogul Embassy to foreshadow Swerve’s interference in the main event. Jericho wins because of that, and good move to have Adam Cole show up to parallel Jericho coming out after Cole VS Garcia. They’re taking their time building to Cole VS Jericho but that’s fine, this will be a big part of Double or Nothing.
Silas getting squashed was a shame, he’s better than that. But I guess they needed to have time for Wardlow to smash up Hobbs’ car and then brawl with Hobbs. That powerbomb through the two tables was rough, though, because the second table didn’t break and Solo’s head clipped it. Hopefully Solo is okay. But Hobbs VS Wardlow is happening and it could go either way. Chances are, QT will try to interfere like he did the first time, Wardlow will destroy him, and he’ll still beat Hobbs to get himself back up. Let’s just not have Samoa Joe return again to try and get both television based titles. Someone new needs to get in the mix here already.
I was actually surprised they did both titles back to back. Cassidy VS Buddy was great stuff, especially with the story of Cassidy’s bad hand being the focus. Cassidy pulled it off, and I like Best Friends being bold in calling out Aussie Open. Best Friends won’t win but this will give Aussie Open a successful defense before facing a NJPW team. I just wish Rampage didn’t have to worry about basketball getting in the way. But whatever, Rampage is looking to be a really good show either way with that title match and a few other things. And we got another short promo from Christian and Luchasaurus. Christian being vague is fine, but I’m just assuming he and Luchasaurus are waiting for a title story to be clear. Honestly, have Luchasaurus go after Cassidy so that he’s being opportunistic.
Really good promo stuff from Ethan, Matt Hardy and Kassidy. Great brawl from The Firm and #HardyParty, with Jeff Hardy making a great return. Matt was a bit redundant saying this coming match is to undo the contracts with The Firm when that was part of the Hook thing. Or did he not explain clearly and Hook’s win was just to give Hardy Party a match against The Firm to then fight to get out of contract? Well, anyway, Matt gets to choose, and I’m pretty sure we’re getting Ethan, Morrissey, Moriarty and possibly Stokely against Hook, the Hardy Boyz and Kassidy. And if that’s the case, can we get “The Firm Deletion” as a cinematic match?
Good promo from Jay White and Juice Robinson, but it feels like they’re ignoring what is going on in NJPW in regards to the Bullet Club stuff. David Finlay more or less kicked White out of the Club to take over, and then he got Taiji Ishimori and Kenta on his side to do the same to El Phantasmo. ELP either joins forces with Tama Tonga & Hikuleo, or ELP joins White and Juice so that Bullet Club Gold VS Rebel Club is a proper Bullet Club Civil War. But first thing’s first, Jay & Juice are taking on Starks, and maybe Starks gets a teammate. It should be Action Andretti since Action faced Juice and also stuck with Starks through the JAS story.
Really good stuff out of the Women’s Division. Really good match for Outcasts VS Riho & Skye, and the usual numbers game helped The Outcasts win. And good brawl with Outcasts, Hayter & Britt. That’ll be a good tag match, and at this point, the pacing is fine since we have to get to Double or Nothing with this. And in parallel, great stuff out of BCC VS Elite. For one, fans got behind Cutler & Nakazawa hard as they valiantly fought through getting all bloody. But of course, the BCC won out and beat those guys down. And good fake-out in the promo from Omega, The Elite showing up was a great surprise. And that screwdriver attack attempt was a nice detail. In both cases, these have to be Blood & Guts matches to make Double or Nothing 2023 the biggest yet.
My Score: 8.8/10

Then you’re what’s holding him back. But I’m gonna fix that.”
Perry shoves Menard aside, then goes into the bus. Perry brings out a tow chain, with a hook on it! Perry CLUBS Menard, then hooks him up to the back of the bus! Between the chain and the bus exhaust, Menard is coughing and sputtering. Perry tells Menard, “We all have to sacrifice.” Perry then goes into the bus, but Garcia runs up! Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up.

But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?

Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?
Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!

Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER!

Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.

The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.

Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up! Daivari headlocks, Briscoe powers out, but Daivari RAMS Briscoe! Briscoe roars! Daivari runs and RAMS Briscoe again! And again! Then Daivari fires hands! But Briscoe blocks to ROCK Daivari! And ROCK him again! And again! REDNECK PALM STRIKES! Briscoe puts Daivari in a corner!
Briscoe rains down fists and the fans count to TEN! Briscoe hops down, the fans fire up, and Briscoe CLOBBERS Daivari! And CLOBBERS him again! Briscoe whips, Daivari reverses, but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up with Briscoe and he runs at the corner. LARIAT, and then FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Daivari survives but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe drags Daivari up, reels him in, but Daivari fights the underhooks! Daivari wrenches, dodges a lariat, and SUPERKICKS! Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
With the confrontations we’ve seen from them all, we see Will Ospreay join forces with Will Hobbs, Mark Davis & Ricochet against Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Brian Cage & Lance Archer! It’s the full Don Callis Family against the Aerial Assassin, the Powerhouse, Dunkzilla and The One & Only in an All Star 8 Man Tag! Which side will have all the momentum going into Full Gear?
Rocky Romero VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!
Rampage returns and the bell rings. The fans rally as Azucar and Commander of the Skies circle, but Montel Vontavious Porter is watching backstage…? Who business could MVP and The Hurt Syndicate have here? Rocky and Komander tie up, Komander wrenches and wristlocks. Rocky rolls then DROPKICKS! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, then waits on Komander. The two reset, circle, and tie up again. Rocky waistlocks, SLAMS, then flips Komander, maybe a little too much. Rocky flips Komander over again but Komander kips up to arm-drag! Komander gives some Latino Heat of his own, and Rocky can’t help but smile.
The fans rally as Komander and Rocky feel things out. They knuckle lock, go shoulder to shoulder, and the fans cheer the Test of Strength. Rocky powers Komander back, then MONKEY FLIPS! Rocky rolls back but Komander blocks the mount to then go up and MONKEY FLIP back! It’s a double cover, TWO as both men bridge! The fans cheer this exchange, and the two roll to their feet. Komander kicks one knuckle lock apart to then go up and ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! Rocky is back up fast, and he hurdles, drops under, then hurdles again. Komander leaps over, keeps moving, and he springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG!
The fans fire up while Rocky bails out. Komander builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Rocky and the fans fire up again! Komander feeds off the energy to put Rocky in the ring.

Komander kicks back but Rocky CHOPS Komander again. Komander flounders along ropes, but Rocky has him again. Komander turns things around to CHOP back! The fans and Abrahantes fires up as Komander fires off CHOPS and KICKS! The ref counts, Komander lets off, but Rocky sucker punches him! Rocky has Komander in the corner now, hoists him up again, but then traps him on the top rope by lacing the legs!
Komander flails while Rocky gets space. Rocky runs up to TOP SHELF KNEE! Komander falls in a heap, but Rocky wants us to watch. Sliding pose! Rocky goes back for Komander but Komander kicks at him. Rocky brings Komander up to CLUB him down. Rocky then stalks Komander, CLUBS him again, and stalks him to ropes. Rocky brings Komander into a waistlock, but shoves him to ropes to ROCK him in the back! Komander drops to his knees, but Rocky stands him up. Rocky shoves and ROCKS Komander again! Cover, TWO! Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!
Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall
MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!
Dante bobs ‘n’ weaves, shoves Ricochet, but Ricochet avoids the dropkick! Jackknife bridge, TWO as Dante bridges up! Dante spins Ricochet, but Ricochet turns that to a backslide! TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards! Dante ducks under, runs at Ricochet, but Ricochet goes up and over! Dante puts Ricochet on the apron but Ricochet ENZIGIRIS! Ricochet springboards again, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again. Dante springboards up and around for a CARTWHEEL CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives, he runs at Dante, but Dante goes up and over!
Ricochet tumbles out as Dante then builds speed, and Dante DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp but Dante hurries to put Ricochet in. Springboard and MAMBA SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives and the fans rally up again. Dante waits on Ricochet to rise up, then he half nelsons. Lift and- NO, Ricochet slips free to dragon sleeper! VERTI- NO, Dante slips free! Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
