Backstage interview with Adam Cole.
Renee Paquette is with the Undisputed One, and brings up last week’s attack where Cole and Britt Baker were lured into a trap by Chris Jericho and the Outcasts. Surely, Cole has a lot on his mind, so what are his feelings tonight? “Here’s the deal. Tonight, I’m gonna go out to that ring, and I’m gonna call out Chris Jericho. And if he decides he’s not a coward and actually wants to come out there, I’m gonna show him exactly the mistake that he made. And if you don’t come out, Chris, I’ll find you.” Cole heads out, and then Cassidy and Bandido walk in. He asks if Renee is here to interview him after that match.
Renee does congratulate Cassidy and Bandido on that great match. But sorry, no, this was because of what went down last week with Cole, Britt, the JAS and Outcasts. Cassidy says, “Oh,” then leaves. Bandido also adds, “Oh,” and then leaves. Will The Ocho answer the challenge put to him by Adam Cole Baybay? Or is Cole just setting himself up for another ambush?
Backstage interview with Darby Allin and “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry.
AEW returns as Renee stands with two of the Four Young Pillars, and notes that Darby did request to have this time to talk. Darby knows that they all said some things last week that both can agree went a little too far. Darby is here to kill the beef between them. They don’t have to like each other, but they should respect each other. And if Darby knew what was going to happen last week, he wouldn’t have been watching from the rafters but down at ringside. How that match with Sammy Guevara ended was complete crap. And, there’s a good chance Sammy and MJF will try the same thing tonight.
So if JB cares about this Pillar stuff, Darby is simply asking him to have his back. JB says Darby is right, they did both say some things that maybe went a little too far. And Darby is right that they aren’t the best of friends, nor will they be. But JB does wish it was going to be him and Darby out there tonight instead of Sammy. But it’s not, so good luck. Well, yeah, it would’ve been nice if it was JB VS Darby. Because Darby would’ve beat him again. Oh, is that so? JB thinks Darby got lucky last time. Well, Darby’s got a match to go get ready for, so see you out there. Darby pats JB on the shoulder, but will JB really be in Darby’s corner?
Dax Harwood VS Jeff Jarrett w/ Team Triple J!
The friends of Mark Briscoe managed to work together as a quartet, but then quickly turned on each other after the bell. Will Dax the Ax cut down the Last Outlaw? Or will Double J remind us, ain’t he great?
Wait, wait, the refs rush out to preemptively eject Lethal, Sonjay & Satnam from ringside! They don’t want Jarrett getting any help from his friends here tonight. Will this be a much fairer fight now?
The bell rings and the two circle. Dax and Jarrett feel things out, tie up, and Dax puts Jarrett in a corner. Jarrett powers Dax back but Dax puts him in another corner. The ref counts the break, and Jarrett shoves Dax away. The two reset, tie up, and Jarrett arm-drags! Dax stops Jarrett from strutting and Jarrett goes to ropes for defense. The fans boo but Dax steps away. Jarrett and Dax tie up, Jarrett wrenches, but Dax rolls and spins to then spin and wrench and headlock for the takeover! Jarrett headscissors and holds tight. Dax kips free on the second try, but Jarrett headlocks.
Jarrett spins, waistlocks, trips Dax, and then walks all over him before the strut. Dax storms up again, they tie up again, and Jarrett headlocks.

Dax puts Jarrett in the ring, whips him to a corner, but Jarrett reverses! Dax hits buckles hard and falls back! Jarrett says he’s smarter than that, and he whips Dax hard into the other corner!

Sonjay helps Jarrett steal one! Fans boo as Sonjay even snatches the AEW World Tag Team Championship belt! Of course that’s the goal! Will Triple J steal those titles from FTR, too?
Tony Khan speaks.
“It’s great to be here tonight for AEW Dynamite in my home state of Florida to announce that, thanks to Dr. Martha Hart and the Owen Hart Foundation, this year, the opening ceremonies for the Owen Hart Cup will take place at Double or Nothing in Las Vegas on May 28th. And of course, we’re looking forward to the Owen Hart Cup matches. And this year, the tournament will be held in Owen Hart’s home country of Canada. Including matches at AEW NJPW Forbidden Door, which is very fitting, because Owen Hart proudly held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship while competing in NJPW.
“And the tournament finals will take place in Owen Hart’s hometown of Calgary, Alberta, Canada on July 15th, where we’re very much looking forward to this tournament, very much looking forward to AEW’s debut in Calgary and the great Canadian tour. Thanks to the Owen Hart Foundation and Dr. Martha Hart for allowing us to continue this great tradition that we’ve started with the Owen Hart Cup. Back to you guys.” A great announcement from the leader of AEW, who will be this year’s King & Queen of Harts?
Wardlow w/ Arn Anderson VS ???
The NEW and THREE-TIME AEW TNT Champion is looking to keep the momentum going. Will nothing stop the Maestro of Mayhem from making this reign his magnum opus?
The bell rings and the two approach. Wardlow HEADBUTTS ???, then winds up to LARIAT! ??? sits up in a daze and fans chant for “WARD~LOW!” Wardlow brings ??? up and reels him in, to POWERBOMB! And then right into the SECOND POWERBOMB! Fans fire up and they want the rest of the Symphony! Wardlow conducts the choir, brings ??? up again, and then hits the THIRD POWERBOMB! But that’s not enough, fans want that “ONE MORE TIME!” Wardlow brings down the straps, brings ??? back up, and hits the FOURTH POWERBOMB!! Cover, Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall
Hopefully whoever that was got his money up front. Arn celebrates with his new protégé, and then gets the mic. “Jesus Christ. Young man, go get in an ice bath and drink a 12 pack. Everybody is asking this week, ‘Beauty and the Beast? Why?'” Why are they a duo? Here’s why. Wardlow beat a hell of a man in Powerhouse Hobbs to become champion, and that should make this sweeter. And as many know, for 40 YEARS, Arn’s been in this business, and for three years he’s been walking the halls of AEW. And Arn figured out who is who in that locker room.
It’s ironic that tomorrow is the NFL Draft. Because we all know, sports fans, you get that number one pick, you make a team that’s pretty damn good, and you turn that into a dynasty. Wardlow will be AEW’s dynasty. Fans cheer that, and Arn says there ain’t anybody out of the 150 some odd talent that has what Wardlow has. That has the future Wardlow has. And Wardlow could put AEW on his shoulders and take it into the next millennium. BUT there are a few things Wardlow and Arn need to agree on. Sometimes, you’ll have to reach in with a finger and pull a guy’s eye out. Sometimes, you’ll have to bite someone’s thumb off.
Maybe, things get hairy and you’ll have to get a chair to drop a man. But wait! Here comes Christian Cage! And his Right Hand of Destruction, Luchasaurus! They make their way down to the ring, but Wardlow & Arn stand their ground. Christian goes up the steel steps, but then assesses the situation. Christian steps back down the steps, whispers something to his personal kaiju, but Luchasaurus won’t back down. Christian insists and Luchasaurus leaves. Will we see this collision of monsters happen soon enough?
Backstage interview with Sammy Guevara.
Renee is with the Spanish God and brings up the match with Darby Allin. If Sammy walks out the winner, that means he will face MJF at Double or Nothing for the world title. How does Sammy feel about the match? Before Sammy can answer, MJF walks in to look Sammy in the eye and tell him this is his moment. MJF kisses Sammy on the forehead, and then Sammy kisses MJF on the forehead in return. Sammy says MJF is wrong: this is their moment. They deserve this.
Renee starts to ask another question but MJF cuts her off with, “People are saying, Sammy, that I’m some sort of gutless coward. That I politicked and begged Tony Khan, ‘Tony Khan, p-p-p-pwease can we have a Pillars Tournament? That way, I can avoid a Four Way. Can you believe that?” Sammy agrees, MJF isn’t afraid of that! And the people are also saying MJF is paying Sammy off so that Sammy will lie down and take the pin is somehow ruining the sport. MJF and Sammy think, and then say, “WE DON’T CARE! HAHAHAHAHA!”
Sammy says it doesn’t matter because he has a fat check and MJF has a guarantee that the Reign of Terror has just begun! Sammy, tell the people what you’re gonna do to that freak, Darby Allin. “Tonight, Darby, I’m gonna kick your face-painted freak ass! And Max, I was gonna give this to you later, but I got you a present.” Sammy gives MJF a matching vest! The paint splatter, the tassels, and MJF’s name on the back with a picture of the AEW World Championship. But what’s funny is, MJF got Sammy something! MJF gives Sammy his own BURBERRY SCARF! Now they really are matching!
They each thank each other, and then they hug! Will these two “good friends” be having the time of their lives in Las Vegas? Or is that plan going to go up in smoke?
RJ City is backstage.
RJ welcomes us back, and says “there is both hustle and bustle backstage tonight, because for the first time ever, Kenny Omega is teaming with Takeshita. What combustible elements-” JON MOXLEY CLOBBERS RJ!! Moxley grabs the mic to say, “It’s going to be a big night, for the BCC. We have some scars to leave here on Dynamite tonight.” Moxley drops the mic, Wheeler Yuta gives RJ a stomp, and then the BCC leaves. Will the Blackpool Combat Club look to end things with The Elite once and for all?
Young Pillars Tournament Finals: Sammy Guevara VS Darby Allin!
The Spanish God made a deal with the Devil of AEW, and so far, so good for him. But will this “friendship” continue all the way to Sin City? Or will the Relentless One be the one to go Double or Nothing?
But wait, MJF makes his way out, and he decides to join commentary, snacking on MJF branded kosher dill pickles. The bell rings and fans rally up. Darby dares Sammy to bring it, telling him to do this himself. Sammy and Darby circle, approach, and Sammy SLAPS Darby! Darby CHOKES Sammy on the ropes! The ref reprimands, Darby shifts to a headlock for the takeover. Sammy rolls Darby to a cover, ONE, and Sammy fights up. Sammy powers up but Darby holds on tight. Sammy powers out on the second try but Darby wrenches to a wristlock. Darby keeps Sammy from the ropes, but Sammy spins and flips!
Sammy rolls, kips, but Darby headlocks! MJF keeps pointing out he won with a headlock takeover like that, and Sammy powers up. Sammy puts Darby in a corner, lets off as the ref counts, but Darby ducks the sucker punch! Darby whips, Sammy reverses, but Darby goes up and over. Darby keeps moving, Sammy hurdles but Darby whips. Sammy reverses but Darby springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG! Sammy flounders to ropes and Darby eggs him on. Fans duel, surprisingly, as things speed up. Sammy flips, arm-drags, but Darby hits a headlock takeover! Fans rally, Sammy fights up, and he puts Darby on the ropes.
Sammy throws body shots, whips, then hurdles, flips and DROPKICKS! Darby goes down and Sammy kips up. Fans are torn as Sammy poses. Sammy goes for the legs, Darby kicks and flails, MJF advertises the pickles, and Sammy stomps Darby down! Sammy jackknife bridges, TWO as Darby bridges up to spin Sammy around for another headlock takeover! Sammy headscissors, Darby turns him over and rolls back to have the TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! Sammy endures, reaches out, and gets the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Darby holds until 3, and then storms up. Sammy SPITS in Darby’s face! Then KNEES him out of the ring!
Sammy hurries out after Darby while MJF proudly says that’s his friend. Sammy brings Darby up to POST him! The ref reprimands, Sammy goes into the ring and soaks up the cheers and jeers. MJF says look at the abs and biceps and all that. Also the pickles are great. Sammy soaks up more heat, then he goes out after Darby. Sammy brings Darby around the way, puts him in the ring, and then kicks Darby. Sammy grins, says he’s loco, and then drags Darby up. But Darby resists the suplex! Darby throws body shots, then he SLAPS Sammy! Darby goes to the apron, and he stands on Sammy to CHOKE him on the ropes!
The ref counts, Darby lets off at 4, and then he aims for the floor! Sammy holds the ropes for dear life, then he grabs at the ref! LOW BLOW MULE KICK! MJF laughs because that’s classic. And then Sammy TOP ROPE ASAI MOONSAULTS! Direct hit on Darby and MJF fires up with the fans! MJF is so proud to call Sammy his friend, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks both guys and they’re both okay to continue, but Darby’s been busted open! Sammy gets up and rains down forearms on Darby’s bloody forehead! Sammy licks the blood off his arm! Sammy then brings Darby up and RAMS him into railing! Darby staggers, stumbles then falls back, and Sammy is right back on him. Sammy puts Darby in the ring, looms over him, then kicks him around. Sammy taunts Darby as he crawls, then he gets the legs. Sammy turns Darby into the BOSTON CRAB! Darby endures, fights up, reaches out, and crawls forward to the ROPEBREAK! Sammy lets go at 4 as Darby goes to the ocrner.
Sammy backs away to the opposite corner, then runs in. Darby puts Sammy on the apron, but Sammy GAMANGIRIS back! Sammy climbs while Darby staggers, but Darby SLAPS Sammy first! Darby climbs up to join Sammy, but Sammy fights back with body shots! Sammy claws Darby’s face! Darby falls down, Sammy adjusts, and Sammy gives some Latino Heat before the FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and Sammy snarls, but he drags Darby back up. Sammy gives more Latino Heat, to then snap suplex! Uno Amigo! Sammy snap suplexes again, Dos Amigos! But Darby slips free to SCORPION DEATH DROP!
Dynamite returns to single picture while both men are down! Sammy bails out, fans rally up, and Darby builds speed. Darby DIVES into a CUTTER to the floor!! MJF says that is why Sammy is going to Double or Nothing’s main event for the world title! Sammy looks under the ring, he brings out a TABLE, and fans are torn. MJF says Sammy is nuts, and he loves it! Sammy sets the table up as the ring count climbs. Darby crawls but Sammy brings him up. Darby RAMS Sammy into railing! And CHOPS him! And CHOPS again! The ring count is 5 of 10 but Darby puts Sammy on the table.
Darby CLUBS Sammy down, then gets in the ring. Darby climbs a corner and fans fire up. But Tay Melo runs out to distract! She won’t let Darby crush her hubby! But then Sammy springs up to get Darby, SUPER SPANISH FLY!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Darby survives, frustrating both MJF and Tay. Sammy pushes Darby out to the floor and then brings him to the table. Sammy throws down hands, then he climbs up the corner. Sammy says he’s muy loco, and then 630 SENTONS through the table!! MJF says this just confirms the main event for Double or Nothing, and the fans are losing their minds!
Sammy rises from the wreckage as the ring count climbs. Sammy slides in at 5 of 10 but Darby is still down. Tay says this is done, and the count is 7! Sammy celebrates but Darby slides in at 9!!

Winner: Sammy Guevara, by disqualification (advances to Double or Nothing)
Darby protests but then MJF SUCKER PUNCHES him! MJF and Sammy celebrate because the fix is in! They’re facing off for the championship, and they stomp away on Darby together! Sammy stands Darby up and MJF kisses the ring. But here comes JUNGLE BOY! MJF freaks out, he and Sammy run for it! JB has a chair, but he’s frustrated he was too late. Sammy says it doesn’t matter, the decision was final! JB helps Darby up and Darby is mad! Where was JB like five minutes ago?! JB says yeah, he’s sorry about that. MJF says those two can go ahead and beat the living hell out of each other, it just makes things better for him and Sammy.
MJF says that you are looking at the main event of Double or Nothing! So Monkey Boy can grab a banana and shove it where the sun don’t shine while Darby can do what he does best: using tears to play with himself while listening to My Chemical Romance. They’re going to the undercard where they belong! They both SUCK, just like everyone watching at home sucks, and all the fans in the crowd suck! But Tony Schiavone speaks up. “Actually… Listen up, you prick!” MJF says Schiavone can’t talk to him like that! Well, he just did. Because he just heard from Tony Khan. Sammy, by winning this tournament, he has earned the title shot, so congrats.
BUT…! Sammy may not be the only one. See, next week, we’ll get a tag team match. Jungle Boy & Darby Allin VS Sammy Guevara & MJF! And if Sammy & MJF win, which surely MJF will find a way, then the title match stays the same: Sammy VS MJF. But if JB & Darby win, then Double or Nothing becomes a PILLARS FATAL 4 WAY!! Fans love that but MJF is pissed! Will all of MJF’s sins come back to haunt him in Sin City?
Backstage interview with MJF & Sammy Guevara.
Renee catches up with them to ask their reaction. MJF says, “Oh, you want a reaction?! GET OUTTA MY FACE, RENEE!! You want a reaction?! Every day since I won this belt, Tony Khan’s been playing games! You think I’m an idiot, huh? You really think you’re gonna keep me around treating me like this? Nah. Lemme tell you something. Where I go, the Triple B follows!” Sammy says that’s right, and then the two head to the parking lot. MJF asks what Sammy’s doing, and Sammy says he was gonna get a ride with him. No, sorry, this is full. Full? There’s three seats in the back and only two of them!
MJF still gets in the SUV alone, tells his driver to step on it, and the SUV drives off. Sammy nods, and might be rethinking his deal.
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
He told Chris Jericho earlier tonight to meet him out here, so here’s the moment of truth! Cole gets the mic, and he says, “Jericho, I know you can hear me, you son of a b*tch! It’s one thing for you to run your mouth. Hell, it’s one thing for you and Danny Garcia to jump me and beat me up. But the fact that you had me handcuffed right here, and made me watched as you orchestrated, as you constructed that beating for no good reason to Britt, that is unforgiveable! Chris, you crossed a line that you cannot come back from, and I swear to God I’m gonna hurt you, and I’m gonna hurt you bad.”
Cole says that’s all. Jericho needs to bring his ass to the ring so Cole can beat him within an inch of his life. Get out here, Chris!! Cole paces, says he’s losing his patience, we ain’t got all day! Come on out, Jericho! No response, so Cole says fine, he’ll come find Jericho. But now Jericho makes his entrance! Cole is waiting, but then Jericho is just here via the tron. Jericho has the song cut so he can tell Cole, “You want me to come to that ring right now and fight you? Are you kidding me? I don’t wanna be anywhere near a man like you. A man who allowed the love of his life to get viciously beaten right in front of his eyes. One foot away, and he did nothing to stop it.
“Adam Cole, you are a coward! And I don’t wanna have anything to do with you. I don’t wanna be anywhere near you in that ring tonight. But my guys will. Get ’em, boys!” The rest of the JAS heads to the ring! Cole doesn’t care, he’s ready to fight Menard, Parker, Garcia AND Hager on his own! And he does! But that doesn’t work for long, and the JAS beats him down! Fans boo, but here come CASSIDY & BANDIDO! They rush the ring, Cassidy TACKLES Garcia and Bandido TACKLES Parker! Hager goes after Bandido, this is still 3v4! Bandido gets mugged, Garcia CHOKES Cassidy, and Menard CHOKES Cole!

AEW presents an all-new episode of QTV.
QT says it has been a rough couple of weeks for them. Between Wardlow throwing Aaron Solo off the stage through some tables, Wardlow destroying Hobbs’ car, both Arn and Penta attacking QT, then worst of all, Hobbs losing the TNT title- Oh snap, Hobbs busts in and gets right in QT’s face! Hobbs pushes QT up against a wall and says s*it was going real well when he was writing the Book, wasn’t it? QT agrees, but needs to breathe so he can talk. Hobbs lets off just a bit, and QT says this was all a conspiracy between Wardlow, Arn and the Lucha Bros.
Yes, things were going great when Hobbs was on his own, but think about it: QT got involved and Hobbs became champion. QT promises that Hobbs will be champion again. His word is his bond. Then fix it! Hobbs leaves and the QTV team is worried. Time for “Plan B.” What will that plan have in store for the Book of Hobbs?
AEW TBS Championship: Jade Cargill w/ Leila Grey & Mark Sterling VS Taya Valkyrie!
Still undefeated at 55-0, the Jade Brand ended up more concerned about La Wera Loca’s finisher being the exact same as Jade’s rather than being a fighting champion. Jade puts up the title, but her legal team made it so that Taya CANNOT use the chicken wing facebuster on threat of being automatically disqualified. Will Taya still be able to stop #ThatBitch without her best move?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the streak continues!
The bell rings and the two circle. Fans rally, Jade talks some smack, but then the two tie up. They’re in a deadlock so they break. Jade is still smug, and she pie faces Taya. Taya smirks, and SLAPS Jade! Jade and Taya fire off forearms, but Jade knees low. Jade bumps Taya off buckles, fires forearms and elbows, then whips corner to corner. Taya comes back to LARIAT Jade down! Fans fire up as Taya drags Jade around, floats to then rain down fists! Fans fire up but Sterling protests. Jade pushes Taya away but Taya returns to chicken wing! The ref reminds Taya, she can’t use the facebuster!
Taya lets Jade out of the chicken wings, to then ROCK Jade with a forearm! Taya stomps Jade, Jade throws forearms in return, and then Jade claws the eyes! Jade bumps Taya off buckles, stomps and CLUBS her, then has her against ropes. Jade CLUBS Taya, whips her to ropes, but Taya BOOTS back! Jade runs back in but Taya sends up and out! Jade manages to skin the cat, but Taya is there to BOOT her down! Jade hits the floor and Taya grins. Fans fire up, Taya builds speed, but Taya pulls up as Jade moves. Taya goes to the apron, jumps the sweep, but Jade blocks the kick! Jade makes Taya do the splits!
Jade CLUBS Taya, has her draped off the apron, and then CLUBS her to the floor! Jade talks trash and fans fire up as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Jade looms over Taya then stomps her around. Jade drags Taya up, whips her hard into railing, and then leaves fans hanging on high-fives. Jade storms up but Taya hits back. Jade CLUBS Taya, but Taya throws elbows. Jade SMACKS Taya off the apron! Taya crawls, Jade refreshes the ring count, but Taya hits back again. Jade CLUBS Taya, ROCKS her, then whips her into the steel steps! Jade runs in to MULE KICK Taya down! Taya crawls, Jade taunts her, but Taya hits back again. Jade CLUBS Taya into the ring and grows annoyed with her. Jade stalks Taya as she crawls, and then stomps her down again.
Jade drags Taya up, suplexes, then floats to a cover. TWO! Taya grits her teeth but Jade pushes her around. Jade sits Taya up and clamps on a chinlock. Taya endures, fans rally up, and Taya fights up, only for Jade to throw her down! Jade soaks up the cheers and jeers as she swaggers around. Jade pushes Taya, kicks her, toys with her, and talks more trash. Dynamite returns to single picture as Jade scoops and SLAMS Taya! Cover, TWO! Jade is more annoyed, and she drops an elbow, but misses as Taya moves! Taya goes to a corner, Jade runs in but Taya slips out, slips under, sunset flips, but Jade rolls through.
Taya blocks Jade’s boot, kicks low then KNEES back! Taya CHOPS, ROCKS and LARIATS! Jade staggers into a BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Jade survives and her team is relieved. Taya growls and pounds the mat. Fans rally up and Jade goes to the corner. Taya runs in but into a BOOT! Taya comes back, but Jade sends her into buckles! Jade hoists Taya up top, throws forearms, then climbs up. Jade throws shots but so does Taya! They brawl, Jade hops back to then spring back up! Jade brings Taya up, SUPERPLEX! Both women are down and fans fire up! Jade kips up! Jade roars through the pain!
Jade drags Taya up, to hit a DESTROYER!!! Cover, TWO!! Taya survives and Jade is furious! Jade drags Taya up, chicken wings, but Taya pries free! Taya arm-drags Jade, spins her around, mule kicks and throws her down! DOUBLE STOMPS! Cover, TWO! Jade survives and Taya grows frustrated. Taya drags Jade up in chicken wings! Sterling and the ref remind Taya she can’t use the facebuster! Taya still lifts Jade, but then lets her down in frustration. Jade victory rolls! And holds tights! Jade wins!!
Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
Taya’s frustration boils over as she shoves Sterling, DECKS Leila, and chases after Jade! Jade gets away, so Taya grabs the ref! More refs rush out to stop Taya from hitting the facebuster! La Wera Loca was about to live up to that nickname, but will she have to fight her way back up to another shot? Or will nothing ever stop #ThatBitch?
Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter speak.
One with a black eye, the other with an arm in a sling, The Doctor tells The Outcasts, “Let’s just get to the point. I think you ladies forget just what me and Jamie Hayter are capable of. I’d like to think we’re fairly decent human beings. Until you give us a reason not to be.” The AEW Women’s World Champion says, “Fair play, ladies. You got us good last week. And also an extra special thank you to Toni Storm, who ensured with her actions that I’d go to the hospital. And then you blindsided Britt. You couldn’t even use your own hands, you had to use weapons. That’s some real sneaky stuff.”
But they can use as many weapons as they like. They can send Britt & Hayter to the hospital as many times as they’d like, because this is far from over. The Outcasts declared war, so as far as Britt & Hayter are concerned, the only way this ends is if you send them to the bloody morgue! Will the Pillar & the Killer not stop until they’ve finally humbled Saraya, Storm & Soho?
AEW looks closer at Jay White & Juice Robinson VS Ricky Starks & Shawn Spears.
The Switchblade says last week, one of the biggest events in all of AEW History happened as he made his in-ring debut. But two men tried to stick their noses where it didn’t belong. The Absolute tells Jay ‘n’ Juice that they thought they had one over on Starks & Spears. The Perfect 10 says, “Hey, Bullet Club, pew pew pew! Bang bang bang bang.” Ricky & Shawn aren’t friends, but they do have a common enemy. So this Friday on Rampage, no more sneak attacks or hitting from behind! Rock Hard tells the “sweet boys” that they’re getting hit right in the balls! King Switch & Rock Hard, #BangBangGang puts Spears & Starks down, looking up at the lights, as the BC High Rollers keep it high. Will this be a Too Sweet showdown? Or will it be #AbsolutePerfect10n?
BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Dynamite!
After the JAS’s beatdown of Adam Cole was thwarted, we will see an undisputed 8 Man Tag! Menard, Parker, Hager & Garcia face off against Cole, Strong, Bandido & Orange Cassidy! Will Cole avenge himself and Britt with the help of some unlikely friends?

Penelope is beside herself but Callis applauds his guys. Bryan gets off commentary to get a mic to say, “Impressive. It’s interesting, because I see one professional wrestler in the ring who got the pin, and one amateur who looks like he’s exhausted. Like his best days were behind him. Like he’s just living on the legacy that he built in Japan.” Fans boo but Bryan says right next to Kenny is “a prodigy. Somebody, who if he trained with The BCC, he would be a world beater! If he trained with The Elite, he’d be like Nakazawa! He’d be like Brandon Cutler! He’d be washing you guys in the showers!”
This tirade is just a distraction, because Claudio, Moxley & Yuta attack from behind!! They mug Kenny, TOSS Konosuke, then stomp away on Kenny!

And now KENNY has the screwdriver!! Fans fire up but Bryan tells Konosuke to stop this! Konosuke agrees, he won’t let Kenny do this to Moxley. Kenny says no, this has to happen! But then Yuta & Claudio return to YANK the Bucks out of the ring and send them into railing! Moxley shoves Konosuke into Kenny! And then Moxley hits DEATH RIDER on Kenny!!

But then Yuta LOW BLOWS Konosuke! The BCC sit Konosuke up as Bryan shouts, “You made your choice! You made your choice!” Moxley has the screwdriver!! Moxley JAMS Konosuke in the face!! AND DIGS IT IN!! The fans boo but the BCC revels in what they’ve done! Will there be no stopping these four from scarring all of AEW?
My Thoughts:
A great AEW here with some more progress made towards Double or Nothing, but also with some interesting twists and turns. Great opening match of Cassidy VS Bandido, though they didn’t play up the bad hand as much as I thought they would. Cassidy still wins because he’s doing so well as champion, and I like that he and Bandido ended up buddies. Good promos from Cole and Jericho, and of course Jericho hypocritically chickens out to have his guys go after Cole. Great save from Cassidy and Bandido, and great to see Roderick Strong somewhere. Sadly, maybe a little too late to have The Undisputed Era truly in AEW, since Fish is gone from AEW and Kyle is still hurt. But I still like the 8 Man Tag they’re giving us next week, which I would think Cole’s team wins.
Really good match out of Dax VS Jarrett, but even with the refs ejecting Team Triple J, of course Triple J finds a way to cheat. And of course this is about the tag titles. We’ll definitely get Cash VS Lethal 1v1 first, and Triple J might cheat again, but the tag match is still going to happen, and probably at Double or Nothing. Good promo from Britt & Hayter to call out The Outcasts, but AEW again drags their heels in pacing this story. We should already know who from The Outcasts is challenging Hayter, and/or we should already have something big like a Women’s Blood & Guts match. But again, AEW booking their women’s division has been a point of contention they still need to figure out.
Speaking of, while we got a great match out of Jade VS Taya, I’m getting tired of Jade’s win streak. If AEW had paced things better, Jade would already be at 60-0 and ready to drop that belt. And they didn’t even think to tease Taya having a back-up finisher because she kept going for the chicken wing facebuster out of habit. Jade is great but she’s being overprotected, she should drop that belt at Double or Nothing and finally get up to the world title. But good to hear about the Owen Hart Cup returning. Now, they didn’t do that much out of the ordinary for the original winners, Cole & Britt, but these tournaments can help get screen time for many who need it. Maybe Julia Hart wins the women’s tournament for the House of Black?
For that matter, why not continue the House of Black pursuing Cassidy and the International Championship? Unless that’ll resume next week… Anyway, good squash win for Wardlow, and decent promo from Arn. But nice appearance by Christian and Luchasaurus where we got a good stare down of Wardlow and Luchasaurus. That should definitely be the TNT Championship match for Double or Nothing. Because while Hobbs got on QT’s case about losing the TNT title, QT should fulfill his promise by helping Hobbs go after another title. And good promo from Juice, Jay, Starks & Spears. Their tag match will be good, but who knows who wins that.
Great promos from MJF and Sammy both before and after Sammy VS Darby, and even a good promo from JB and Darby. And while MJF helped Sammy cheat to win the tournament, I was just hoping Tony Khan would call MJF on his shenanigans, and that’s what happened! Now, we don’t get a Fatal 4 outright, but you can bet that’s happening through that tag match. MJF starts to keep Sammy at a distance now, and that will come back to bite him. But at the same time, a Fatal 4 allows MJF to sneak that win out without even really cheating, and then we can have a 1v1 build between MJF and basically not Darby, since MJF and Darby already had a 1v1 feud.
RJ City had a good bit, in that he got jumped by the BCC. Moxley’s promo was of course foreshadowing, as after a great match for Kenny & Konosuke, the BCC attack. I did like the use of continuity as Bryan is still a role model of Konosuke’s and Konosuke did what he wanted in keeping Omega from bloodying Moxley. But at the same time, Konosuke is still Face and is against how the BCC is being Heels, so he suffers the consequences. This will give the story the way to bring Hangman back in so that The Elite is reunited to take on the BCC, probably in Blood & Guts.
My Score: 8.7/10

Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!
But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?
Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!
As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?

Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?
Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.
They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!
And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.
But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!
The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-
Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.
Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

“Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. I’m no coward. What you call tricks, I call advantages. I suggested that you watch your back. I gave you all the warnings. So I’m not understanding why you feel the need to call me classless and sneaky. I thought I was being more than reasonable. I know you’re strong, but are you smart? Are my ‘tricks’ too much for you? I guess we’ll find out January 1st, Fight for the Fallen. But remember: The House Always Wins.” The Princess of the Black Throne is ready, but will she learn Hayter Hits Hard?

Cover, TWO! Ghost pin, TWO! Claudio is up, but Darby sunset flips! Claudio stays up, and DOUBLE STOMPS! Claudio deadlifts Darby to then TOSS him out of the ring! Darby hits apron on the way out and fans tell Claudio he’s sick!

Claudio then drags Darby by a leg and brings him over. Claudio SWINGS Darby into steel steps!! Claudio puts Darby in the ring, stands him up, and runs to LARIAT! Darby flips through the air! Claudio covers, TWO!! Darby survives and Claudio is frustrated. The fans rally for Darby but Claudio rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Then Claudio tucks the arms, RICOLA- CODE RED!! Cover, TWO!! Claudio escapes in time!
The fans rally while both men are down again. Darby and Claudio slowly rise, and Ricochet watches, very amused as Darby is his next opponent in the round robin. Darby crawls to a corner, climbs up, but Claudio UPPERCUTS! Claudio HEADBUTTS Darby, then climbs up again. Claudio brings Darby up and suplexes, but Darby fights around! SUPER SCORPION DEATH DROP!! The fans are thunderous for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” as Darby rises up. Darby climbs to the very top, COFFION DROP onto knees! Claudio saves himself, then he hauls Darby up. Straitjacket and RICOLA~ BOMB!! Cover, TWO!?!?
Darby survives and shocks Claudio! Claudio argues with the ref but the count was fair! Darby’s just that tough! Claudio goes back to Darby and ripcords him into the RICOLA~ BOMB!! Cover, TWO!?!?! HOW?!? Claudio goes outside, and he brings out something from under the ring. He also has a chair! The ref takes the chair from Claudio, but Claudio has BRASS KNUCKLES! BRASS KNUCKLE PUNCH!!! Cover, CLAUDIO WINS!
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Darby earns 0)
The Swiss Superman screws over Darby, but then he gets that chair back. But wait, Ospreay slides into the ring! And HE has the brass knuckles that Claudio tossed aside! Ospreay dares Claudio to do something, but Claudio simply leaves. Does this mean Ospreay’s ready to ride against the Death Riders with Darby? Or will we see a Miracle on 34th Street send Ospreay and Darby to Worlds End?

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?
Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!

The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage.

Cage BOOTS Davis down, covers, but Hobbs breaks it! Cage gets mad and the ref reprimands Hobbs, then Cage soaks up heat from DC. Cage stalks Davis to a corner and fires haymakers! The ref reprimands but Cage DECKS Davis! Cage soaks up more heat while he flexes.
Holiday Bash returns to single picture while Davis crawls. Cage storms over but Davis fires hands! Davis CHOPS, CHOPS, but Cage JUMP KNEES! Cage whips Davis, Davis cartwheels and swings on Cage! Cage blocks, waistlocks, but Davis switches! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Davis rises and reaches out! Davis crawls, as does Cage, hot tags to Hobbs and Konosuke!

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!
The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?
The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles.

Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?
Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!

Willow bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!

Willow fireman’s carries, storms around, but Harley pops up! Harley fires down elbows, then victory rolls, TWO! Willow escapes and ROCKS Harley! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!
Harley survives but Willow roars! The fans fire up as the straps come down! Willow gut wrenches for the BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Komander circle while the fans bark it up. There are fans who sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~” for Komander as the two tie up. But then Brody picks Komande up with both hands, and puts him on the to rope. Brody pats Komander on the shoulder, and the fans bark more. Komander hops down, not intimidated by Brody’s size.

Brody flips Komander around, GONZO BOMB!! Cover, Brody wins!!
Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)
If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10
