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! Riho whips, Soho reverses, but Riho handsprings over! Riho whips Soho to ropes, but soho stops herself to stomp Riho!
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 sits Riho up and wraps on a chinlock. Soho thrashes Riho around but Riho endures. Riho fights up as fans rally, and Dynamite returns to single picture. 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! Riho runs in to wheelbarrow, victory roll, STOMP 182! Storm BOOTS Riho! Skye SUPERKICKS Storm! Soho reels Skye in! Skye switches to feed Ruby to Riho. Riho tilt-o-whirls, SUPERKICK CRUCIFIX DRIVER COMBO!! Strom runs in to GERMAN SUPLEX Skye! Skye flounders, Storm aims! SWEET HIP MUSIC!! And then the STORM ZERO!! Cover, The Outcasts win!
Winners: The Outcasts, by pinfall
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! The AEW Women’s World Champion runs in, but she just gets mugged 3v1, too! Fans chant for “DMD! DMD!” and so here comes BRITT BAKER! She CLOBBERS Soho, SUPERKICKS Storm, and then gets after Saraya! 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! Jericho staggers but Keith pushes him aside. Garcia is rather shocked as Keith looms over Jericho. Keith drags Jericho up, whips him hard into a corner, and then SPLASHES again! 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 pushes Keith to the apron, triangle jumps and DROPKICKS! Keith goes to the floor and Garcia soaks up the heat. Jericho does, too, while AEW goes picture in picture.
Keith swipes at Garcia but Garcia gets away. Jericho wants after Keith but the ref has him stay back. This allows Garcia to stomp away on Keith! Garcia gets back before he gets caught, and Jericho goes to the apron. Jericho drops AX HANDLES on Keith’s back! Jericho RAMS Keith into the post, then throws body shots! And then he RAMS Keith into railing! Garcia is fired up while Jericho catches his breath. Jericho goes back for Keith, puts him in the ring, and goes up a corner. Jericho soaks up the heat, then leaps at Keith, for more AX HANDLES! Keith goes down and Jericho soaks up all the heat.
Jericho paces around Keith, slaps him around, and avoids Keith’s hands. Jericho stomps Keith, scrapes his face, then soaks up more heat. Jericho drags Keith up and onto ropes, to CHOKE him! 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. Jericho goes back to Keith as Dynamite returns to single picture, and Jericho CLUBS Keith down. Fans boo but Jericho just grins as he sits Keith up. Jericho ROCKS Keith with forearms!

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!

Jericho makes it to ropes, Keith crawls after him, but SWERVE appears! He CLOBBERS Keith with the ring bell!! Keith falls back and the ref has no idea what happened! 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

Six Man Tag: PAC, Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia VS Jay Lethal, Adam Priest & Tommy Billington!
Blood & Guts 2025 was the most brutal one yet, and yet the most brutal faction in AEW lost! The Bastard, The Decoder & The Red Death want to take out their anger, but will they be standing tall after this Collision? Or will The Franchise Player, #AllGenresAdam & The Dynamite Kid just add insult to injury?
Garcia gets into it with Matt Menard during the entrance, and then Garcia SLAPS the headset off of Daddy Magic! The fans cheer Menard on as he throws hands with Garcia! Nigel & Schiavone do their best to stay back, Pac & Yuta tell Garcia to leave Menard alone, they’ve got the match to worry about. Garcia stops, Lethal’s team makes their entrance, will they make Garcia pay for bullying Menard?
Jon Moxley, of all people, takes Menard’s seat at commentary while the teams sort out. But then they don’t and the Death Riders rush Team Lethal! Priest LARIATS Garcia and puts him in a corner while Lethal & Tommy brawl with Yuta & Pac! Then Priest LARIATS in a corner, Lethal adds a LARIAT of his own, then they feed Garcia to Tommy’s BACKDROP! Priest keeps on Garcia in a corner and rains down fists! The fans count but Garcia shoves Priest away at 7. Priest DROPKICKS Garcia, Pac tags in, and Priest arm-drags! Tag to Lethal, they mug Pac, and then Lethal whips. Pac ducks to waistlock, Lethal switches to shove, hip toss, and handspring DROPKICK!
Moxley’s headset finally works, and he sarcastically says, “Oh my gosh, what an unfortunate situation that was.” Lethal covers, ONE, but Lethal drags Pac back up. Pac KNEES low, tags Yuta, but Lethal arm-drags Yuta! The fans cheer Lethal as he drags Yuta over, tag to Tommy. They double whip Yuta, Garcia tags in, Yuta still takes DOUBLE ELBOWS! Garcia CLOBBERS Tommy and soaks up the heat as fans boo. Garcia reels Tommy in, but Tommy snap suplexes first! The fans cheer and Tommy tags Priest. They hit a BIG double back suplex, then Priest covers, ONE! Meanwhile, Moxley dares to say Menard is the one bringing negativity into the work place!
Garcia goes to ropes, Priest brings him up and UPPERCUTS him down! Priest has Garcia in a corner, CHOPS him, and the fans “WOO~!” Priest snap suplexes Garcia, covers, TWO!

Garcia baits Tommy in for Yuta to DUMP out to the floor!
The fans boo but Yuta argues with the ref. Garcia goes to the corner, Pac tags in, and Pac stalks Tommy around the way. Pac SMACKS Tommy off the apron, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac brings Tommy around and whips him hard into railing! Pac then drags Tommy up, brings him over, and snap suplexes him to the floor! Pac digs his heel into Tommy’s neck, but stops as the ref reprimands. Pac puts Tommy back in the ring, stomps him, then paces around him. Tommy reaches out but Pac wrenches his arm. Tag to Yuta, they mug Tommy, then Yuta SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Tommy toughs it out but Yuta just clamps on with a clinch. Tommy fires body shots and forearms! But Yuta picks a leg and trips him! Tag to Garcia, he stomps away on Tommy! Garcia soaks up more heat from Erie before he drags Tommy over.
Garcia tags Pac, they both stomp away, but stop as the ref reprimands. Pac soaks up heat, flips off Lethal, then goes back to Tommy. Pac CLAWS Tommy’s eyes, stops as the ref reprimands, then paces around again. Pac soaks up more heat and Collision returns to single picture. Pac CLUBS Tommy down, taunts Lethal, and drags Tommy up. The fans rally as Tommy fights back, but Pac CLUBS him down. Pac stomps Tommy, digs his boots in, then argues with the ref. That lets Yuta & Garcia get cheap shots in! The fans boo but the Death Riders get away with it again. Pac stomps Tommy again, digs his heel in, and Moxley says this is a bad night for Tommy.
Tag to Yuta and Yuta drags Tommy up. The fans rally for Tommy but Yuta reels him in. Tommy fights the suplex, Yuta fires body shots, then Yuta BITES Tommy’s forehead! The ref counts, Yuta stops, and he tags Garcia. Garcia tags Pac, and The Death Riders set up, but Lethal grabs at Yuta’s hair! The ref reprimands, there’s a lot of scrapping between The Death Riders and Team Lethal, but they still send Yuta in for an ELBOW on Tommy! Garcia LARIATS! Pac UPPERCUTS! And repeat! The fans boo as the cycle keeps going, but Moxley says this is about endurance and intensity! Pac then scoops Tommy, for a TOMBSTONE! Cover, but Lethal & Priest break it!
The fans cheer, the brawl is on, and Yuta & Garcia TOSS Lethal & Priest! Pac tags Yuta, Yuta puts Tommy on the top rope, and Yuta climbs up. Yuta is on the very top, but Tommy fights back! Tommy fires HEADBUTT after HEADBUTT and Yuta falls! The fans fire up as Tommy adjusts, MISSILE DROPKICK! Both men are down, Moxley admits that was thunderous, and the fans are thunderous themselves. But Garcia BLASTS Lethal & Priest! The fans boo but Tommy whips Garcia away! Then he CROSSBODIES Garcia and himself to the outside! A rough landing either way and the fans rally up.
Yuta crawls, Tommy stirs, Priest coaches Tommy up, and Marina shouts for Garcia to get up, too. Hot tags to Pac and Lethal! Lethal rallies on the Death Riders! DRAGON SCREW for Pac! DRAGON SCREW for Yuta! And then a takedown on Pac! But Pac boots him away! So Lethal trips Yuta! Yuta boots Lethal away, Lethal ENZIGIRIS Pac! And clinches Yuta, LETHAL COMBINATION!

Winners: PAC, Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia, by submission
Moxley says, “And that’s how it’s done.” The Death Riders rebound from Blood & Guts, but Pac grabs a mic to talk. “Oi, oi, oi…! From what I’ve heard, Darby Allin, he isn’t here tonight. And I can’t say I’m surprised. Y’see, what I did to Darby Allin at Blood & Guts, it was bloody beautiful. It was the best thing that I’ve ever done! Y’see, I’ve achieved a lot in professional wrestling, but standing and watching him burn… Well, I consider that my magnum opus! My piece la resistance! A masterpiece nonetheless. And no doubt, if Darby is still alive, he’ll want some form of petty revenge. Well, hey! Darby! I’ll be honest with ya: that’s no skin off my ball sack, ya little freak!
“Y’see, you wanna piece of me? No problem! Me and you, mano y mano, any time, any where! And where better than one week from tonight, live on PPV from New Jersey, AEW Full Gear? Y’see, Darby, you get a chance at retribution. But I get a chance to prove to the entire world, live on PPV, that a punk like you doesn’t belong int he same conversation, never mind the same league, as a competitor like ME!” The fans boo, but Pac tells Darby, “Have a little think about it, and let me know, wontcha? I’ll be waiting.” The Bastard has thrown out the challenge, but will- or rather, can Darby Allin accept?
Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis.
Lexy Nair is with Aussie Open as she brings up the big week for the Don Callis Family. Tonight, Mark Davis takes on Mark Briscoe while Kyle defends the TNT Championship against Scorpio Sky. If successful, we will get Fletcher VS Briscoe 6 at Full Gear. Fletcher is already annoyed, because he is sick of talking about Briscoe! Briscoe has been a thorn in The Family’s side for far too long. At Full Gear, Fletcher puts Briscoe in his place for good. But tonight, Briscoe has to deal with this man! Davis tells “Chicken Man Briscoe” that he won’t even make it to Full Gear, because after Davis wins tonight, chicken is for dinner! RARARARAR!
Fletcher says goodness. Good for Davis, but on Fletcher’s menu is Scorpio Sky. Fletcher tells Scorpio that he is very impressive, undefeated since returning, and a former two-time TNT Champion. But with the roll Fletcher is on, it stops for NOBODY. Get ready to say his full name. Will The Protostar & Dunkzilla dominate on behalf of the Callis Family? Or can a lot change in just one night?
Backstage interview with Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa.
Collision returns as Lexy is now with the Timeless Love Bombs. Lexy notes that no one left Blood & Guts unscathed. Mina is clearly not cleared to compete tonight, and- Toni takes the mic to stop Lexy so that she can say, “Five women made me watch a mugging, a massacre, a murder. Now you can do what you like to me, Toni Storm lives and dies every damn day. But when you touch the woman I love… A woman who brings color to a world that is black ‘n’ white… Then you gain admission to a film, a cinema verité, that stars five sh*t-ass slop tarts and two horror show whores with a lust for vengeance who will love bomb the crap out of you!
“And since it’s your turn to watch, we promise to look good when we do it. Any time, any place. The show must go on. Don’t ask God for mercy, He’s a big fan of our work.” The femme fatale has spoken, but when and where will she and the Fighting Gravure Idol get their hands on Megan, Marina, and the rest?
Mark Briscoe VS Mark Davis!
The Sussex County Chicken almost didn’t make it into Blood & Guts after a backstage ambush from the Don Callis Family, but he showed he can #ManUp and even win at less than 100%! But will Briscoe need to fight like Hell all over again? Or will Dunkzilla make him easy pickings for The Protostar?
Well, Briscoe doesn’t even wait for Davis to get in the ring, he intercepts Davis at the ramp! The fans fire up as the brawl is on! Moxley is still on commentary and he likes this already. Davis ROCKS Briscoe, CHOPS Briscoe, then whips Briscoe into railing! Briscoe writhes, but Davis whips him into more railing! Davis snarls and stalks Briscoe, puts him in the ring, and the bell sounds! Briscoe DECKS Davis off the apron, then he WRECKS Davis with a dropkick! Then BLOCKBUSTER to the floor! The fans fire up with Briscoe, he fires hands on Davis, but Davis pushes him away. Briscoe comes back to DROPKICK!
The fans chant, “Let’s Go, Mark!” and Briscoe goes to the apron. BANG BANG, FOLEY- NO, Davis FOREARMS Briscoe outta the sky! Then he APRON BACK SUPLEXES!

Third time is the charm, and now Chicken is red hot going towards Full Gear! But will Briscoe be able to take the TNT Championship, no matter who he’s facing? Or will The Don Callis Family be the winners in the end?
Team Sky Flight speaks.
Christopher Daniels focuses himself before telling Scorpio Sky, “Ever since you decided to start this team of Sky Flight, we have led these guys to some great victories. We are on a roll in the world of professional wrestling, but I think it’s time for you to become a little bit selfish, get some glory for yourself, and regain that gold.” Scorpio says, “It’s been 1228 days since I lost the TNT Title. And not one of ’em has gone by where I haven’t thought about getting it back. The last few years have not been easy for me, but none of it compares to what stands in front of me tonight.
“Kyle Fletcher, you are every bit as good as you think you are. But I’ve got the experience to know that what sticks with you in this business aren’t the victories, it’s the night that should’ve been victories but weren’t. Defeat comes for us all, Kyle. And tonight, yours comes from The Sky.” Scorpio snaps his fingers and we go to break. Will The Closer strike out the Protostar and completely change Full Gear?

AEW TNT Championship: Kyle Fletcher VS Scorpio Sky w/ Christopher Daniels!
As it stands, Fletcher and Briscoe will compete for this title at Full Gear, with the added stipulation that Briscoe losing means he’d join the Don Callis Family.

Darius & Dante chase Aussie Open off, and even Briscoe is here! Briscoe gets a mic and tells Kyle to do him a favor: Tell Callis that Briscoe will not be stopped. They ambushed him on Wednesday, but what happened? Briscoe’s team emerged victorious! Ask Davis there if he slowed Briscoe down at all. Briscoe whooped that big burly ass! And Kyle, the main thing to do is that the next time “Daddy Don” has Kyle shine that big bald head of his, shine the belt up, too.
Kyle should snuggle with the belt real tight tonight. Give it kisses and hugs, because in one week, Full Gear, that title comes home with Briscoe! The fans cheer that! Kyle tells Briscoe that his screws are loose. They had nothing to do with attacking Briscoe on Wednesday. And this was also defense number eight! One defense from breaking the all-time TNT Championship record! So the only thing that’ll happen one week from tonight is Kyle cementing his legacy as the GREATEST TNT CHAMPION OF ALL TIME! And when that happens, there is a spot with Briscoe’s name on it right next to them in the Don Callis Family.
“And then you will have no choice, like all of these people, but to say my full name.” Fletcher gets the last word tonight, but will Briscoe have the last laugh at Full Gear?
AEW prepares for a big money Tailgate Brawl!
The 5 Tool Player says, “$200,000? Tony, that’s not even nearly enough to get me to wanna tag with this guy.” Platinum Max says yeah, they can’t agree on anything except that they don’t wanna be a tag team. But TK is forcing them, so they’ll take his money, beat up his wrestlers, and hopefully never tag again. Just don’t make them do this. #RockHardRobinson says tonight is a sneak-peek at what goes down at Tailgate Brawl. They’ll win and take all the money to invest it into their 401K! Because the Bang Bang Gang plays for keeps!
But Bryan Keith says $200K is just the right bounty for him and Big Bill! And Bill says he’ll get some of his boys up in Jersey to put that money to work for them. They’ll get 200K from TK, PAY UP! The Outrunners say four teams enter, but only one team has the size to win the prize! Tell ’em, Turb! It’s a $200K Fatal 4 Way Tailgate, and they know something about getting tail and spending money! The Youngest Men Alive vow to win, but who hits the jackpot in New Jersey?

Winners: Riho & Alex Windsor, by pinfall
Even Moxley is impressed with that combo, but now Toni Storm is on the tron. She tells Windsor & Riho, “Congratulations on your lovely match. We will be seeing you in the first round of the tag team tournament, and I wish to apologize in advance. We consider you both wonderful athletes, and non-sexual friends. This isn’t personal, so please excuse us as we rip off your heads and s*it on your laps. We are lovers during a very dangerous time, and we are on a very rocky road to revenge, and no woman can stop us! So please, let’s have a bloody good time!” Kiss, kiss, and shove it!
Riho is rather taken aback by all that, but Alex says no, it’ll be a bloody good time indeed. But which team will have their happy ending to kick off their part in the tournament?
AEW shares footage from after Blood & Guts.
The Conglomeration regrouped backstage, and Kyle O’Reilly thinks back on his debut in AEW. It was in the Greensboro Coliseum, it was a bit awkward, but then six months into his AEW career, he basically broke his neck even before facing Jon Moxley. A bad call, and he would not wrestle again for almost two years. Moxley almost ended Kyle’s career. Kyle didn’t know if he’d even pick up his daughter again, let alone wrestle. But here he is, three years later, fighting Moxley again and again. Like a petulant child, Moxley punches a ref. Moxley is a shark, he’s swimming in his natural habitat, looking for prey.
But the thing about sharks, once you sense their movements, once you know what it is, you know how to beat it. Kyle has a submission victory over Jon Moxley! Any other time, any other place, prove him wrong. Moxley on commentary responds by saying, “Oh, you thought that was funny? Hey, what’d we learn earlier with Daddy Magic?” The fans drown Moxley out with “You Tapped Out!” so Moxley gets off commentary to taunt them back. The chant continues, but Moxley grabs a mic to tell The Conglomeration that they had the night of their lives on Wednesday.
“But let’s all be clear, Kyle O’Reilly…! You are nothing like me! You are not built like me! Your team is not built like my team, and don’t you forget it! Oh, you won a match? You won one match? Good for you. Can you do it again and again and again and again? I don’t think you can, and I don’t need to bet a million dollars to prove that you can’t do it again! Lemme tell you something, Kyle O’Reilly! Lemme tell you something, Conglomeration! Any match, any time, any place, you know where you can find us!” Moxley storms off into the night, but what will happen when this Maniac and the Violent Artist meet again?
Backstage interview with Tay Melo.
Lexy congratulates Tay on the win tonight, then brings up Marina ruining the celebration and Toni making the save. Tay tells Toni that she respects her, she does, but please, don’t step in for her unless she asks. Make no mistake, she will kick Toni’s head off. And as for Marina…! She likes to call herself The Problem, huh? Well guess what! Next time you put your hands on Tay, you find out that Tay is the solution! Get ready for what’s next. The tag team tournament, Marina & Megan love to make a statement, so here’s Tay: They started it, TayJay will finish it. Tay storms off, will she bring that fire to the first round and burn it all down?
8 Man Tag: FTR & LFI VS Bandido, Juice Robinson & #JetSpeed!

Or will Rush y Sammy Guevara help keep things tranquilo?

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to the show, and says tonight means so much, especially to him personally. The Greensboro First Horizon Coliseum is perhaps the greatest pro-wrestling venue in the entire world, and he thanks all the fans for being here over the years. So many great events he has witnessed for many man years, this would not be complete without one of the men who made this such a great venue, and who made wrestling on TBS so great. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome out Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat! The fans cheer as the living legend is here! Steamboat high-fives fans, then goes to the ring to join Schiavone.
Schiavone says in April of 1978, he was here as a fan when Steamboat and Paul Jones become World Tag Team Champions. Steamboat and Dusty Rhodes were even tag team champions in 1991 right here on TBS. This, ladies and gentlemen, is quite the honor. Steamboat says big shoutout to TBS, responsible for airing all this so everyone can have their moment. Shoutout to that board over there: Mount Rushmore of Greensboro – Flair, Steamboat, Dusty and Sting! The fans cheer that! And Steamboat knows we all know what he’d have to say his number one nemesis, Ric Flair. The fans “WOO~!” for The Nature Boy.
Well, Steamboat and Flair faced off in what was Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling in the Carolinas. Steamboat was just 16 months into this business, and Flair went to Jim Crockett talking about him. Flair said he liked what he saw and wanted to do something with Steamboat. Well- Wait, FTR is interrupting?! The fans boo as Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler & Stokely Hathaway mockingly applaud. Steamboat says he knows those guys. Dax & Cash step into the ring, shakes Steamboat’s hand, and Steamboat says hold on, a quick mention. A few years back, they worked together, and Steamboat saw a bit back then what’s come to fruition today.
Steamboat sees them climbing the ladder, making it up. Stoke says he can’t believe he is standing in the ring with a legend! Now, Ricky, you know FTR, the greatest tag team alive today. The fans boo, Stoke says he’s just trying to introduce himself! Stoke gives his introductions, #BigStoke, and no he is not Denzel Washington. But Ricky, you are synonymous with pro-wrestling. The fans tell Stoke to STFU and Steamboat kinda teases Stoke on his height. Stoke says Steamboat has a lot of history in this building. But ironically, next Saturday, November 22nd, live on PPV, Newark, New Jersey, FTR makes history by becoming THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions!
Stoke says it’d be an honor to have his favorite pro-wrestler front row and there live. Does Steamboat know Macho Man’s number? Haven’t seen Savage on TikTok. The fans boo that offensive joke and Cash takes the mic. Cash asks Ricky to calm down, Stoke can be “feisty” sometimes. But Ricky knows the respect FTR holds for him. In fact, for those who don’t know, it was back in 2022 that FTR was handpicked by Ricky to be in his last ever match! Yes, handpicked by The Dragon himself! Because not only does Ricky know they’re living legends, but modern day miracle workers! If anybody is gonna make Ricky look like even a shell of his former self, it’s FTR!
The fans boo more as the backhanded compliments continue. Dax takes a mic to say hold on now, hold on. Ricky, Dax has learned so much from you. Not sure if it’s common knowledge, but 13 years ago, Ricky was Dax’s trainer. He took Dax under his wing, it was such a blessing. Dax learned so much. He learned… Uh, Ricky taught him… Hmm, hold on. Damn, now that Dax thinks about it, Ricky never said one intelligent thing in his entire life. Oh, oh, wait! There is one thing! Ricky says yeah, one thing he didn’t teach Dax is that his attitude’s gone in the toilet! The fans cheer that! Dax says hey, he’s talking.
And the one thing Ricky did teach Dax is perhaps the biggest piece of advice Dax ever got: “Kid, it doesn’t matter how much you make, make sure you save your money.” And in 2025, that has never been more evidence. If Ricky had taken his own advance, he wouldn’t need to be here tonight! The fans boo, but Dax continues by saying, “Who would’ve thought at 2012, we’d be standing in the ring on TBS live? And when you were teaching me, who would’ve thought that I would’ve been a bigger legend than you ever were?” The fans boo more, Ricky tries not to get mad, but then he gets in Dax’s face!
The fans cheer but Dax dares Ricky to do something, old man! Ricky shoves Dax! Stoke says watch it, Ricky! Ricky then says time out, time out. Dax backs off, Cash tells Ricky to leave FTR’s ring. Greensboro cheers Ricky on, Dax tells Ricky to leave, but Ricky says hold on. Ricky grabs the mic again to say, “Going back a few years, I’d tell both of you to kiss my ass.” The fans cheer that! “But… Sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor. Sometimes, when you realize that I’m gonna be 73… I’m not asking or begging for any kind of sorrow or forgiveness, but I’m just gonna be the smarter man today.”
Ricky does step aside, Dax sarcastically says to give it up for The Dragon, and then FTR mugs Ricky anyway! The fans boo and they reel Ricky in! But then Brodido is here! The fans cheer as Brody King & Bandido fire hands with FTR! Bandido has Cash, Brody has Dax, and Brody RIPS Dax’s shirt off to CHOP! Then Brody CHOPS Cash! Bandido SUPERKICKS Cash, Brody ROCKS Cash, and Cash ends up on the ropes! Bandido deals the cards, BLACKJACK 21 for Cash! Brody adds a LARIAT to send Cash up and out! Dax staggers to his feet, Ricky DECKS him! And DECKS him! And SHOTEIS! Ricky’s still got the hands!
Brody scoops Dax, but Stokely YANKS Dax to safety! The fans boo but Brody & Bandido DROPKICK FTR back down! FTR is in retreat while Brodido stands tall with Ricky! Will FTR regret picking on another legend? Or will they find a way to take those tag titles for a third time?

Cassidy puts the backpack in the ring, puts his jacket and shirt aside, then puts on the elbow pad. The fans cheer for “Freshly Squeezed!” as he rolls into the ring. Yuta sputters, and Cassidy BREAKS his sunglasses as a sign that he is deadly serious!
Yuta takes a swing, but Cassidy dodges, and he JABS at Yuta’s head with the sunglasses!! The fans go nuts, Yuta shoves Cassidy away, but Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl and DDT! Cassidy kips up, and Darby joins in. Cassidy puts on what’s left of his glasses while Darby BACK BODY BLOCKS Yuta in the corner! And BACK BODY BLOCKS again! Cassidy takes chains out of the backpack! Darby BACK BODY BLOCKS Yuta again while Cassidy wraps his fist, and then Darby feeds Yuta to the CHAIN BODY BLOW! Yuta falls, Darby hurries to get his board, and Cassidy whips Yuta again, CHAIN BODY BLOW!
Darby goes up with his board, OLLIE ATTACK on Yuta’s back!! The fans fire up while Yuta writhes, but the countdown is back! The Death Riders send Daniel Garcia! Red Death hustles his way out from the back while Cassidy CHOKES Yuta with the chain! Darby is ready, then he clinches with Garcia. They fire fast hands in one ring while Cassidy keeps after Yuta. Garcia has a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK and fans chant, “DO THE DANCE!” Cassidy swings on Garcia, but ends up in a SLEEPER! Darby and Cassidy fight these holds, but Yuta joins in to mug The Conglomeration! The fans boo but Garcia & Yuta soak up that heat.
Garcia flexes while Yuta gets the other chain from Cassidy’s backpack. Yuta & Garcia mug Cassidy, then double whip using the chain, for a CHAIN LARIAT! Then they DROPKICK Darby! The fans boo while The Death Riders are in control, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Yuta & Garcia soak up more heat, then Garcia CHOKES Cassidy. Yuta stomps away on Darby, then he and Garcia mug Darby together. They throw Darby aside, then have the chain.

Cassidy puts Yuta in a corner, then he and Darby set Yuta and Garcia up together, and wrap them up in the chain! The countdown is back as Cassidy & Darby mug Yuta & Garcia at the same time! And then The Conglomeration sends Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer, but where is he? Everyone looks to the ramp, but did something happen to Briscoe? Yuta LOW BLOWS Cassidy, Garcia LOW BLOWS Darby, and Garcia mockingly asks where Briscoe went. Commentary cues Renee Paquette backstage.
Renee says she’s trying to figure out what’s going on, but something happened in the locker room! Someone attacked Briscoe and those ribs are not looking good. Who’s going next then? Roddy says he’ll go. Kyle says see you out there. The Savior of the Backbreaker is stepping up for the team, but is The Conglomeration still going to be a man down? Garcia & Yuta mock the situation, but Roddy rushes in! Roddy catches Yuta for a HALF NELSON BACKBREAKER! And another HALF NELSON BACKBREAKER!

Garcia CHOKES Kyle in a corner, Claudio military presses Cassidy and THROWS him into the steel!
The countdown is back, and now The Death Riders send Moxley! The Maniac himself steps up, perhaps confident this match is in hand given Briscoe is down and out. And of course he has a fork! He JABS away on Kyle’s forehead!! The fans freak out, but then Roddy runs up! Moxley fires body shots and then SCRAPES the fork on Roddy’s face! Garcia helps mug Roddy, but Darby is after Moxley! Darby ROCKS Moxley, springboards, but into a FORK ATTACK! Darby writhes getting forked in the back! Moxley then CLAWS the fork into Darby’s back! He hands Garcia the fork so Garcia can CLAW Darby’s back!
Garcia & Moxley work together to THROW Darby into the steel! Darby tumbles down, and ends up in the gap between ring and cage!! Kyle is bleeding profusely from the fork attack! Moxley goes out to fetch a barbed wire bat and a bucket of random items! Wait, those are the leftovers from the Women’s Blood & Guts! The broken glass, the pool cue, and more! The countdown is back, The Conglomeration is supposed to send Briscoe, but we know what happened there. Now things stay 4v4 as Moxley DIGS a piece of the busted mirror into Kyle’s already bloody head! Then he takes a taste before he JAMS Kyle down low!
Renee has an update, and AEW Medical says Briscoe is NOT cleared for this match now. The attack that injured the ribs is from The Don Callis Family, clearly insurance for Kyle Fletcher’s chances at Full Gear. Moxley brings the bucket into the ring, Yuta DIGS the fork into Kyle while Claudio CHOKES Cassidy with the chain! Roddy runs up on Yuta, but Yuta puts him in the corner to DIG the fork into his forehead now! Moxley pours out broken glass and tacks from that bucket, and he drags Darby along.

The fans boo and tell Moxley he’s sick, but he continues to torture Darby while Blood & Guts goes picture in picture.
Darby kicks at Moxley and gets free. Kyle sputters behind his crimson mask, Yuta CHOKES Cassidy again, and Claudio props a table up in the corner.

Then Claudio SMACKS Kyle with a chair! Kyle writhes while Moxley goes back to Roddy.
Garcia puts Kyle in a corner while Moxley parades Roddy around for the fans to see, and Dynamite goes to break.
Blood & Guts returns one more time, and while Claudio, Yuta & Garcia all mug Kyle, Darby is climbing up the cage! And he now monkey bars his way with the girders! The final countdown is here, but Darby ROOTFOP COFFIN DROPS onto everyone!! Naturally, last for The Death Riders is The Bastard, Pac! He is in no hurry, the advantage is 5v4 now. Roddy runs up but Pac RAMS him low! And slingshots up and over. The bell rings as Pac then SNAP GERMANS Roddy! Pac BOOTS Kyle, but Kyle fires back! Moxley has the ref lock things up, it’s already in the bag. Kyle is keeping up with kicks, but Pac dodges one to then BOOT Kyle to a corner!
Pac runs to UPPERCUT Kyle! Kyle sputters, but Cassidy goes up! CROSSBODY, but Pac catches hm! But Cassidy slips free! Pac bucks the O’Conner Roll, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Pac turns the tilt-o-whirl into a DDT! Wait, how did Yuta get the key? Pac GERMAN SUPLEXES Cassidy! The fans boo but Moxley sits Darby up so Yuta can BITE Darby’s forehead! There are tables in corners, Moxley soaks up heat, and the mugging continues. In a way, they’re just toying with The Conglomeration as Pac builds speed to LARIAT Darby inside-out! The fans boo, but wait! Briscoe is still making his way out here!?
The fans cheer as Briscoe is gonna #ManUp, and he’s bringing a chair, a toolbox, and some bolt cutters! Briscoe cuts right through that padlock! Yuta hurries over but Briscoe SLAMS the door shut on him! He then dodges a chairshot to CHUCK his chair at Garcia! Briscoe dodges Claudio, fires off on Pac, then dodges Claudio!

But Briscoe is right back up, right back out, and he gets the toolbox! Briscoe TOSSES the box in, then he fires haymakers on Yuta!
Briscoe ROCKS Yuta, The Conglomeration makes a comeback, and Briscoe gives Yuta a snap suplex to the floor! The fans fire up as Cassidy opens the toolbox! Roddy fires hands on Moxley, Kyle brawls with Garcia, and Cassidy brings out a WRENCH! He CLOBBERS Pac with it in the corner! Roddy uses a chain to rain down FULL METAL FISTS on Moxley in the corner! The fans count as Roddy goes to TEN! Roddy then stomps Moxley, but Garcia CHOKES Kyle again. Cassidy has the wrench for Moxley! ONE!! The fans are thunderous! Roddy rains down fists on Claudio! Cassidy BODY BLOWS Moxley, but Moxley CHOPS Cassidy!
Moxley hauls Cassidy up top, Kyle GRINDS the barbed wire bat into Garcia! Briscoe CHUCKS another chair at Yuta! Roddy CHOKES Claudio, Garcia KNEES and CLUBS Kyle, and Cassidy resists Moxley’s superplex! Briscoe brings a table around the way but he has to stomp Yuta back down first. Briscoe sets the table up outside the cage?! Briscoe looks up, and everyone dreads what he has planned! Briscoe SMACKS Yuta off the table, but Garcia CHOKES Briscoe with a crossbar cover! Briscoe fights free, reels Garcia in, and suplexes him to the floor! Now Garcia is the one Briscoe puts on the table, and the fans still freak out!
Briscoe climbs up the cage, and he reaches the very top! The fans are fired up but also really worried! Briscoe looks down, but Garcia flops off the table! Garcia wags his finger, but then Kyle grabs that hand for an ARMBAR!! The fans are thunderous, and wait, YUTA has gone up after Briscoe?! Garcia fights off the submission while Yuta and Briscoe brawl on the top of the cage! The fans cheer Briscoe, boo Yuta, and Briscoe fires a flurry! The fans are loving it as Briscoe DECKS Yuta! Briscoe then reveals he has a rope and a hook!? Briscoe sends that down to Kyle, and Kyle hooks it to a chair! Briscoe is fishing for chairs!
Briscoe reels in a big haul and the fans love it! Uh oh, they’re kinda stuck. Briscoe wrangles the chairs and the fans cheer again! But Yuta manages to grab one for his own! The others are brawling in the ring, Briscoe has a chair of his own, and the fans fire up! The chairs CLASH and CLASH like swords, and Yuta is disarmed! Briscoe JAMS Yuta up, then SMACKS him on the back! The fans fire up as Briscoe then gathers the other chairs to make a pile! Briscoe underhooks Yuta, but Yuta drops down to fight the lift! And then LOW BLOW!! The fans boo as Briscoe staggers around! The fans freak out as Briscoe is dangerously close to the edge!
Yuta rises to SMACK Briscoe in the head!! The fans lose their minds while Blood & Guts once again goes picture in picture!
Moxley and the other Death Riders still have control inside the cage, but The Conglomeration is still fighting. Garcia TWISTS Kyle’s ear using the wrench! Yuta has to be careful up top as he walks over to Briscoe. He HAMMERS away on Briscoe while The Death Riders mug Cassidy and Darby. Again, The Death Riders seem to be more toying and torturing The Conglomeration rather than going for a win. Kyle KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away on Garcia & Moxley, where is he getting this energy?! But then Moxley trips Kyle, drags him around, and HIP DROPS the leg! Then Garcia CHOKES Kyle with the chain!
Blood & Guts is once again single picture as Yuta parades around a bloodied Briscoe. Yuta ROCKS Briscoe, ROCKS him again, and then reels him in! Yuta underhooks the arms and the fans boo.

Darby CHOKES Claudio using a hammer! Moxley storms over to KICK Darby, and he has the fork! Darby fights it off, Roddy CLUBS Moxley, and Briscoe returns to the ground. But Pac then BOOTS him down!
Pac drags Briscoe around to THROW into railing! But then Darby CLOBBERS Pac! Darby drags Pac around and THROWS him into railing! The fans fire up, but GABE KIDD is here?! The Mad Man CLOBBERS Darby! The fans boo as this War Dog is here and he drags Darby away! Gabe CLUBS Darby, Garcia has Cassidy in a SLEEPER, but Cassidy puts his hands in his pockets! Garcia is furious, and he whips Cassidy, but Cassidy SHOTGUNS him! Claudio traps Cassidy’s arms, and Moxley STAPLES the hands in the pants!! Claudio throws Cassidy down so Moxley can add more staples! The fans tell Moxley is sick, but wait, what’re Gabe and Pac up to?
Gabe & Pac have set up tables near the entrance tunnel, and Pac is climbing up! Gabe CHOKES Darby using a belt, then he and Pac DRAG Darby up to the top with said belt! But Darby fights back! Darby BOOTS Gabe off the ladder, but Pac BOOTS Darby! The fans boo but now Gabe goes to fetch something more? Gabe returns, and he has LIGHTER FLUID!! Gabe drenches the tables, and even Moxley can’t believe what is about to happen! Gabe ignites the tables!! Pac drags Darby up to THROW him down through the burning tables!!! The staff hurries to extinguish Darby and the fans are losing their minds!
Gabe grins and The Death Riders are loving this! They continue to mug and pick on The Conglomeration, PARADIGM SHIFT onto Kyle! Then a BULLY CHOKE!! WITH A CHAIN!! Kyle endures, flails, and Roddy tries to make his way over. Garcia & Yuta taunt Roddy as he’s so far away, but Kyle FLIPS Moxley off! The fans love Kyle’s defiant spirit!

Cassidy flails, Roddy runs up, but Claudio BOOTS Roddy! Claudio shoves Cassidy, POP-UP- ORANGE PUNCH!! Cassidy hits first! Roddy SPEARS Claudio through the table! ORANGE PUNCH THE FOURTH for Moxley!!!
Kyle has Moxley with an ANKLE LOCK!!! Moxley flails, freaks out, reaches out, but Kyle keeps him back! Claudio is back up, so Roddy & Cassidy DOUBLE SPEAR him through a table!!! Moxley is all alone!! Moxley flails, reels Kyle in, BULLY CHOKE!!! But Kyle slips through, and has the ARMBAR!!! Moxley flails, Kyle gets his leg, back to the ANKLE LOCK!!! KNEEBAR!!! MOXLEY TAPS!!! CONGLOMERATION WINS!!!
Winners: Darby Allin, Roderick Strong & The Conglomeration, by submission
Incredible! Blood was spilt, but the team with more guts wins out in the end! Is this the end of the war with the Death Riders? Will Darby be alright after quite literally crashing and burning?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Blood & Guts special for Dynamite, but AEW continues to really push the envelope. Skye Blue may have overdone her blading there but maybe not since it didn’t affect her part in the match. And with Blake Monroe referencing her time as Mariah May, it was nice to see Toni Storm doing a similar callback with the glass on the fist. Weaponizing all of Mone’s belts was really clever, and Stat taking Mone and herself out with the table spot was good stuff. Using Mina’s suffering against Toni was a very clever move, and the Heels winning perhaps indicates a Face team winning the tag titles. Willow & Harley VS Julia & Skye, Toni & Mina VS Megan & Marina, those are going to be great matches, can’t wait to see how they turn out.
The reason this show was 2.5 hours was so they could also do Hangman VS Hobbs, which was still a great match anyway. Hobbs falling off a ledge to fall through the “electrical equipment” was an awesome way to finish that match. Joe & Shibata attacking after should’ve been obvious, and good save from Hook & Eddie. Escalating Hangman VS Joe at Full Gear into a Steel Cage match is great stuff, but I get this feeling that Hook will choose that moment to turn on Hangman and rejoin The Opps, and I can’t even be sure why. Hangman VS Shibata for the big go-home episode next week will be great stuff, too.
Throwing in that Don Callis Family attack on Jurassic Express was also good stuff, it really adds a little more to the Full Gear build. But surely The Bucks accept their Callis Family membership next week, if only because of peer pressure. Turning on Callis Family before Full Gear would do away with the Million Dollar match, but The Bucks could always grow a conscience during the match and betray the Don Callis Family then. The FTR promo with Ricky Steamboat left a lot to be desired. Granted, Ric Flair apparently left early, his injured rotator cuff was too painful to do much with. So that means the whole segment was rewritten last minute, giving a valid excuse to why Steamboat wasn’t sure what to say and how. But Brodido of course made a save, great stuff for them.
The Men’s Blood & Guts was also wild stuff, but they really had a lot to live up to with just how innovative the women were in their match. I still like the idea of fishing chairs, and the story overlap where DCF mugs Briscoe to put some doubt into the outcome. Gabe showing up was a surprise, and I guess he was needed to pull off that burning table spot, but they still could’ve done that with the Death Riders they had on hand. Gabe says he’s NJPW for life but then why’s he over here in AEW? Is he going to do some Continental Classic matches and maybe be part of World’s End before WrestleKingdom in January?
As for the finish, Cassidy hulking out of his hands stapled to his pants was wild, and the comeback from The Conglomeration was great. Interesting how the teams with advantage won out in both cases. But even then, they can do some compelling stuff with The Death Riders after this. Perhaps Moxley’s leadership will be in question when he’s the one who gave up, again. And what of that tease where the Death Riders would fight Don Callis Family? Is that not the case with how Briscoe and Fletcher will be facing off at Full Gear? Will we get even more Conglomeration VS Callis Family shenanigans going into the holidays?
My Score: 9.1/10
