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?

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!”

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

The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges.

Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?

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

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

The fans fire up, Toni is rather stunned, and Toni gives Kris credit for that. Kris puts Megan in the ring, climbs up a corner, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Megan flounders away to a corner while the fans fire up. Ford coaches Megan, Toni says if Bayne is a “Megasus,” call her to the “Stormodo Dragon.” Same toxic tongue and dry skin. Kris runs in and LARIATS! Then Kris climbs up to rain down fists! The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Kris then pushes Megan out, leaps, but Megan catches her! Megan pops Kris up, but Kris slips free! Kris kicks low, runs, and basement DROPKICKS! Cover, ONE?!?

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